STATE GRANGE in SESSION. NEWARK
GIVES ROYAL WELCOME TO FARMERS


receive annually from the State.
The Legislature will regard an APP
preparation to the Woman s Col
lege as an appropriation to Della
ware College, and the college for
boys will inevitably suffer
TO the first Of the possible objec-
tions the speaker attached so little
Importance that it was passed over
hurriedly with references to Rad
cliffe and the college for women at
Providence, as proof to the con-
trary. The second objection-that
the affiliated college will impair
the efficiency of the present depart
ments of instruction at Delaware
College, DR.. Sypherd answered as
follows: 1.-The opening Of the IL
brary to young women at certain
hours would be entirely feasible.
From 2 to 6 it is not used much by
the boys. Furthermore, duplicates
of periodicals Of special interest 20
girls and of books required as out
side reading in the various courses
could easily be placed in the read
ing room of the woman S college.
The morning hours i'll most of our
laboratories are not used by the
boys. These would be available for
the young women. Several new in
structors would have to be added
to the p. p.eseiias eseiat ffacuitv.. All of the
men in department would be at
the service Of the two institutions.
Therein lies a decided gain.
TO the third objection the speak
er replied. Il do not believe the
State of Delaware will neglect an
obvious duty to one Of her worthy
institutions. We have no prece-
dent as warming. The State has
given generously to Delaware Col
lege. The affiliated college will not
be established unless the State is
able to provide satisfactorily for
the two institutions. Furthermore.
the State would not have to make
so large appropriations to the atfil-
lated college as to an independent
college. Delaware College will sure
ly not lose revenue by affiliation.
. The discussion closed with de-
scription of the plans for the new
college buildings as they have been
drawn and approved by a commit
tee representing the Board of Edu-
cation and Board of Trustees.
Drawings of two buildings were
shown by Professor Hayward. The
first-a dormitory-provides for
fifty or sixty students. The build
ing is planned along the most ap-
| proved sanitary lines. The rooms
are arranged to be used in suites.
four pupils using one study room
and two bed rooms. Toilet and
bathrooms are in the center Of the
building and midway of each wing.
The dining room will accommodate
Is or 100 with ease. This building
will be adequate for the freshmen
and sophmores, while the upper
classmen may find homes through
out the town.
The recitation hall is IA three
story building. Immediately in
/ front of the entrance is the office of
| the Dean for women. Recitation
rooms range on either side, while
the second and third stories are oc-
cupied by the various laboratories,
including two for cooking and
rooms for instruction in dressmak-
ing, millinery, etc.
The cost of these buildings would
be from 100000 to 1926, 900. They
are planned as permanent buildings
to be built upon the most approved
lines. The providing of these is
the difficult item in the establish
ment OF the affiliated college. After
this first heavy expense the main
tenance Of the institution will tax
the State only slightly beyond that
spent III the education at out-of-
state normal schools.
Professor Hayward closed with
the optimistic prediction that these
ulldlngs would be under way with
III the next 18 months.
The Tuesday evening session of
the State Grange was in charge of
the ladies, Mrs. III. Hayward of the
Newark Grange presiding.
DIR. Harter formally greeted the
organization and rendered them the
hospitality Of the college buildings
and grounds. Mr.. Messick, Worthy
Master responded, after which Mrs.
Herman Tyson favored the audi
ence with a beautiful vocal solo.
