A new Building Committee was
AZ pointed, Henry B. Thompson,
chairman, DR.. S. G. Mitchell, Gov
ernor Miller, Eben B. Frazer and
Frank G. Bancroft.
Mr.. Day will meet the Commit
tee early in the year and begin a
survey of the College and it's ply
steal surroundings. A plan will be
proposed covering a period of
twenty-five, possibly fifty years of
growth. In this will be outlined
the several needs Of the College in
their relative Importance.
An immediate need of the col
lege III the minds of the Board is
a Commons, similar to Houston
Hall of University of Pennsylvania,
or Harvard Union Of Harvard.
Delaware has, at present, no social
center for the students. Lack of
dormitory accommodations has
really forced the fraternity idea
into prominence. This, with no
central meeting place, has per-
haps lessened the college spirit to
some extent. Other needs are a
Science Hall, Auditorium and Ag-
ricultural Building. All these ideas
Will be based on some definite con-
crete plan of development. Mr..
Thompson was warmly congratu-
lated by the members of the Board
Every day seems to point toward
an even greater Delaware.
The budget, which had been pre-
pared by the Finance Committee
was presented and approved with
out dissenting vote. This budget
has been in preparation for some
months. The Finance Committee
of which Governor Miller is chair
man, in connection with President
Mitchell have gone thoroughly into
the College finances with all it's de-
partments and several sources of
revenue and have worked out this
plan. 1t covers the expenses of the
next two years. 1t proposes a bus
mess method efficiency in keeping
with the other improvements Of the
College.
The College is now a State In,
stitution, and the actual worth of
the plant is surprising when the in
ventory Of holding is considered.
An increase Of fifty dollars a
year was made in the fees for
board at the Women's College,
making the cost $3.50 a year for
board and room at Residence Hall.
This was made to begin at the
ol ening of the next college year.
This increase was made to pay the
actual living expenses of those re-
siding at the College. Tuition, OF
course, is free to all students from
Delaware.

ELKTON BOY MISSING
All Efforts To Locate Lad
Fail

Considerable mystery surrounds
the sudden disappearance OF Thom-
as Lyndell, aged 16 years, son OF
Thomas Lyndell, prominent
farmer of near Elkton, Md. The
boy disappeared two weeks ago
and although a thorough search has
been made for him, not only IN
Cecil county but elsewhere, his
parents have been unable to locate
him or anyone who has eeen him
during the time since his dlsap-
pearance. The boy has relatives IN
Wilmington which has led to re-
quest for the Wilmington police to
assist in the search. All efforts to
date have, however, proved unsuc-
crSsful.
The boy is five feet seven inches
tall, weighs 14O pounds, has dark
brown hair and eyes and when ne
disappeared was dressed in a blue
serge suit and new dark cap. Hls
fathers farm is about two miles
above Elkton, and the boy was last
seen, as far as is known, by Frank
Payne, aged Is years. The boys
had been to Elkton together two
weeks ago and Lyndell accompan-
led Payne to the latter's home
Payne says that Lyndell left ms
home late that ngiht and he went
with him as far as the barn and
that was the last he saw OF hlm
Lyndell had about One-half mile
TO go to reach his home. The mill
race near Payne's home was dram,
ed aud a thorough search made OF
that part Of the country.

Christmas Stories
And Christmas Cheer

A Christmas entertainment,
pleasing in it's informality, was
held in the Presbyterian Church,
Newark, on Christmas evening.
Aside from carols sung by the
school, the program took the form
Of Children s Hour" with stor-
les told by the gifted pupils. Mas
ter Robert Cook told the children s
favorite "The Night Before Christ
mas giving the long story en-
tirely from memory. Miss Mary
Mitchell gave in true Uncle Remus
style "The Story Of the Deluge
and What Came After" Her rea-
listic impersonation of Uncle
Remus and the child were greatly
enjoyed by everyone. Miss Mar
ian Campbell read the story of
"Satan's Christmas Eve' by
Thomas Nelson Page. Master
George Mitchell convulsed the au-
dience with his account Of Uncle
Josh s ride on trolley car
The feature of the entertain
ment in the eyes of the little folk,
at least, was the arrival of Santa,
to distribute his supply Of gifts.
All the lights of the church were
turned off, only the glow from the
logs on an open hearth lighting the
big room. In the breathless hush
that followed the darkness, a fam
iliar looking leg appeared, thrust
straight down the chimney, over
fire and all. Another second, and
a second leg, then the body OF

THE STORY OF 1914 IN NEWARK
AS 1T GOES DOWN in LOCAL HISTORY

Aetna Hose, Hook and Ladder
Company brought crowds of peo-
pie to Newark from miles around
by the big carnival held during the
last week Of July. Incidentally the
fremen cleared over $4,000 to
cover the debt on the new fire
fighting apparatus, which has al
ready proved it's value not only to
Newark but the surrounding
neighborhood. Among the lodges
aside from the usual social affairs,
generally Of private nature, the
Odd Fellows have entertained
about $50 guests at public ban
quet given in the Opera House
Building. The Newark High School
Alumni Association has kept open
house in the schoolhouse one night
every month with the exception OF
June, July and August, providing
such entertainment as tends to
promote civic pride and neighbor-
hood batterment. Reynolds Post,

augurated the custom OF Five

of nurturing an appreciation OF the
work done by our soldier heroes.

Without words or comment the
President has ousted one of Della
ware most honored citizens from
office. To date there has been no
attempt to even invent charges
against Mr.. Townsend. It's utter
lack Of courtesy and dignity ill-be-
comes the President and smacks of

acquainted with the methods of the
Junior Senator, there is no need
for explanation further than
salisbury wanted to do it," The

adopted that it will be both inter
esting and painful. Although the
President has displayed, in this
act, an unusual weakness and will
probably be seriously embarrassed
in any seeming explanation, the eff
feet in Delaware promises to be
gratifying, in that it will show to
an already suspicious citizenship,
the methods used by Senator Sauls-

A strange feature of the disap-
pearance is that Lyndell had no
money with him when he dlsap-
peared. He wore summer under
wear when he had plenty Of win
ter underclothing at his home.
The lad has disappeared from
his home on few other occasions
but was never absent more than a
dav or two at time and he al

Work was begun last fall on the

COLLEGE TRUSTEES PLAN
GREATER DELAWARE
SUPERVISING ARCHITECT ELECTED TO MAKE OUTLINE IN
MEMORABLE MEETING AT HOTEL DIJ POINT . '''

Mondays meeting of the Board
If Trustees at Hotel Dupont will
stand out in College history as a
memorable event. 1t might be said
that every meeting Of the Board
during the past two years has made
history. Delaware has begun an
era Of expansion the breadth and
influence of which has scarcely
been realized by the people Of the
State. The occasion on Monday
was the result Of the interest taken
in the College by Henry B. Thomp-
SON of Wilmington. 1t is not un-
fair to other members of the Board
TO say that Mr.. Thompson is per-
haps the best informed man on Col
Irgc growth and development in the
State. A graduate Of Princeton, a
trustee. he has taken very active
part in Princeton recent expan-
sion. In this work which has re-
cpiyed the commendation Of the
whole college world, Mr.. Thomp-
SON has been prominent in its exc
cutiOn.
Mr. Thompson in presenting the
proposition to the Board on Mon
day said:
1T is evident there is immediate
need for certain buildings at Del
aware College, particularly a build
inc in which the social activities Of
the undergraduates can be center
ed. Also there is crying need for
improved chemical laboratories, but
the trustees have decided that be-
fore any building be proceeded
with. that a complete campus sur
vrv must be made and a study and
decision of the future develop
mrnt of the campus and location Of
buildings must be made
This is in line with the modern
business methods being applied to
College Administration. The sug-
gestion was unanimously accepted
by the Board. Mr.. Thompson stated
that the salary Of such man had
been guaranteed by friends Of the
College whose names are withheld.
Following this the name of Frank
Miles Day was proposed and ac-
cepted. His appointment was made
for one year beginning January l.
1913. This again is most fortun
ate for the College. Mr.. Day is,
without doubt, the leading college
architect in the country. He holds
the position of supervising archi-
trct of Cornell, Johns Hopkins in
their Homewood plan, Princeton,
and Pennsylvania State College
BY this it will be seen that Della.
ware will receive the services Of a
man of national reputation and
experience.

Station Of the Pomeroy Division

Here after looking over the assort-
ment, they went off with five boxes
Of harness.

Effect Of New Marriage Law

The effect of the new Delaware
marriage law, which requires that
couple shall not be married until
4S hours after taking out license,
is shown by the fact that but 1886
marriage licenses have been taken
out in this county this year. In
the last year there were about 1000
marriage licenses issued.

On the eve of the New Year it is
interesting to review the record OF
1914. as it goes down in the local
history of the town Of Newark.
With pleasure we note the realiza-
tion of several Of our most cherish
ed plans: with hopeful expectancy
we look forward to the fulfillment
of better and greater ones.
STREET AND SEWER
Foremost among those things
which stand for progress is the IN
stallation of a modern, first-class
sewer system, which has placed
Newark on the sanitary map or
Delaware. The work was complet-
ed Iby Contractor Jacobs early in
March. and by the twenty-fifth OF
the month, after three weeks oper-
alton. had been accepted by the
Consulting Engineer, 7. Chaikley
Hatton. now of st. Paul, MINI.
The work on the sewer was com
pleted in March, and at the April
meeting. Council adopted motion
70 improve Main street. After the
preliminary examination of bids,
etc. the contract was awarded TO
Thomas Claringbold, who complet-
ed the work late in August. The
new year finds the ambition OF
wears nearing fulfillment, for the
greater portion of the town can
now boast creditable roadways. IT
is hoped that the improvement OF !
East Main, Delaware avenue, ana
Chapel streets will complete the
fair beginning within the coming
