President George H. Harter Of Del
aware College, as announced in the
Times last week, has been named
director of the Summer School for
teachers and those expecting to teach,
TO be opened in the last week of June
and to continue for FIVE weeks. A
proper corps Of instructors will be en-
gagged, and it is expected that the
men in attendance upon the school will
be lodged in the College DOrmitory,
while suitable arrangements will be
made for the lodging of the young
women who attend. The dodgers in
the dOrmitOry will probably have the
use Of the College dining room and
kitchen, aad the cost of cooperative
meals will be satisfactorily low.
Those wishing to attend the summer
school may obtain all needed infOr-
nation by applying to President Har-
ter at Newark. The College grounds
will be found both beautiful and COM
Portable. and the recitation rooms
large and airy.
The Affiliated College For Women.
1t is expected that the commission
charged with the duty of providing
the grounds and buildings of the afili-
ated college for women in connection
with Delaware College will promptly
fix upon a site, and shortly engage an
architect so that the work may begin
at the earliest possible moment.
Half a dozen sites have been offered
the nearest of which is about six min
utes walk from Delaware College,
the most distant rather less than fif-
teen minutes. 1t is expeced that the
commission will insist upon having at
the least ten acres Of ground, and
there are friends of the institution
who believe that the site should en-
brace at least Is acres, while a few
think 20 acres would not be more than
enough. OF the sites offered two are
on the Western edge OF the town, and
a third is on the Northern edge, while
Of the other, one is just at the South
ern edge Of the town. and one sever
al hundred yards beyond and the third
east of town. These two Southern
sites lie along the Depot Road, called
South College Avenue, between the
college and the farm Of the Expert
ment Station. The sites on the West
ern edge Of town are comparatively
near the present homes Of many OF
the college faculty, and are on the
highest ground Of the neighborhood.
The nearer site on South College Ave
nue. extends through to the ElktOn
road, and rises 70 a moderate height
at the point where the buildings
would be placed 1t includes above
Is acres. Some Of the other sites
contain less, but it is believed that
there would be no difficulty in as al
m)st any were chosen TO obtain what
ever addional land might be deemed
necessary. The prices of sites offer
" nave AAVA NNA nEEaA NANAE UuUAlEr
but the commissOn has powers of con-
demnation so that it is under no COM
pulsion to accept any of the sites Of
cred or to pay an extravagant price
for any site that it may decide upon.
Careful Study Of Similar Institutions
II is expected that the commission
before breaking ground for the new
college will make careful study OF
similar institutions. and there is
possibility that competitive plani
may be called for. As the commits
sion is building for the future tn,
land chosen must be of such size, pro
portions. and situation as to affor,
opportunity for growth. and the build
ings will be planned with a view Il

The planting Of the grounds will b
