GIFT TO DELLA.
WARE COLLEGE
Valuable Addition To Library

Through the generosity of the
family of the late DR.. A. N. Raub,
formerly president of Delaware
College, the College library has re-
ceived about three hundred vol
umes, many of them interesting
and valuable. These volumes treat
of variety of subjects, but most
Of them have to do with English
literature. They will make an i'm
portant addition to the books now
available to students Of English in
the College. One of the most in
teresting of the collection is a study
by a former professor Of English
in Delaware College, S. S. Halde-
man, entitled "Analytic Ortho-
graphy: An Investigation of the
Sounds Of the Voice, and Their AL
phabetical Notation" Professor
Haldeman was one of the strongest
men that have ever belonged to the
College faculty. Among the socie-
ties Of whcih he was a member are
The American Philosophical Socie-
ty; The Natural History Society
of Nuremberg; The Imperial Eco
nomic Society Of st. Petersburg /;
The American Ethnologicol Socie-
ty. This study took the Trevelyan
prize, offered by Sir Walter G.
Trevalyan and competed for by the
leading scholars Of the world. The
date is 1860.
The new Women IS College of
Delaware also received from DR..
Raub's collection about one hun
dred and fifty volumes.

Formal Opening Of
Women's College

Although regular class work will
begin at the New Women's Col
lege on September Is, by which
time both Residence Hall and Reel
tation Hall will be completed, the
formal opening will take place
probably during the second week
in October. President Mitchell and
Dean Robinson are at work on
plans for this formal opening, and
these plans will be announced some
time during the early part OF Sep
tember. Although under the same
management practically as Della
ware College and receiving instruc-
ton from the same professors to a
great degree, the Women's College
will be entirely separate from the
college for men in every way; the
two colleges will be merely afiliat-
ed and not co-educational.

NEW LODGE ORGANIZED
Receives Banner For Good
Work

The International Order of Good
Templars, Lodge No. 239, Newark,
has been organized for several
months, and has been quietly and
effectively at work. The lodge was
organized mainly through the ef-
forts Of James I. Brown, who has
been in the work for a number Of
years. The membership to date is
about forty with other applica-
tions on file. A representation from
the local lodge recently visited
Westtown, attending the District
Lodge and returning with the ban
ner for having made the best show
ing in the past quarter of any
lodge represented.
The Newark Lodge was visited
recently by Mr.. Ellwood Nichols,
G.. G.. II. of Hamorton, Pa, and Mr..
Edward Coleman, Jr., Grand Sec
retary Of Philadelphia, who install
led the officers of the present quar-
ter and assisted in the initiation of

Large Class Expected
At Delaware College

All indications point to the larg-
est entering class that Delaware
College has ever had. Twenty can
didates for entrance took the ex-
aminations in June and about six
others took work in the Summer
School that would fit them for en-
trance. In addition to these appli-
cants, about fifteen others have
written TO the Entrance Commit
tee in regard to entrance require
ments. Judging from the number
of applications received by the
middle Of August in preceding
years, this ought to mean an enter
ing class of from eighty to ninety
at least. The largest class to enter
the College up 10 the present time
was the class Of 1915, which num-
bered seventy-four. The number
of applicants for admission to the
Women's College is also increasing
almost daily, and it is expected
that the class will comprise between
forty and fifty girls when the Col
lege opens in September.

Preparation For The
Opening OF College

During the past two weeks Sup
erintendent Of Grounds and Build
ings Lee Rose has had a corps Of
men at work getting both building
and grounds into condition for the
opening of the next collegiate year.
Recitation Hall has been thorough
ly cleaned and the floors have been
oiled. The walls of the library
have been done over in buff and sets
of shelves have been placed in the
room formerly used as storage
room for periodicals. These shelves
will do a great deal toward reliev-
ing the congested condition of the
reading room. The interior Of the
Dormitory has been improved and
the Dining Room has been calso-
mined and repainted. The grad
ing about the Greenhouse and
Power Plant has been completed
and partially sodded, and in the
spring grass seed will be sown. The
football field has been put into per-
feet order and the goal posts erect
ed; the whole field is now covered
with heavy sod. The swimming
pool in the gymnasium has been
but will not be filled until

From A Players Standpoint

from n Tlayer StandpOlnt
Now that the pennant has been
made secure by the Newark T1i-
County League base ball team, the
fans Of Newark should indeed fell
proud that they have a team that
has made such a record as the local
nine has. No team in the league
demonstrated that they had any,
thing on Newark in any depart
ment of the game, from mascot to
pitcher.
Yet a few of the local fans,
who propose to be faithful follow
ers OF the team, make some remarks
during and after game that
would discourage any ball player.
eff you can't boost don't knock. T"
When a player goes out on the
field and trys to do his level best,
but happens to make a little slip,
then he might as well quit for the
day, according to some remarks
that have been overheard from the
grandstand. A few Of the really
faithful followers of the team tell
you you shouldn mind those re-
marks, but let them get out there
themselves and try it if they think
you can let them pass unnoiced. '-''
Almost every base ball team has
signals Of some kind. If batter
gives signal to a base runner that
he is going to hit the next ball, then
it is the duty of the batter to at
least hit at the ball, no matter
where it is. If he misses, the cred
it should go to the opposing pitch
er and not discredit to the batter.
Therefore when some crouch from
the stand shouts, "Ah, what are we
hittin at those kind for?", or
"Can't ye see when they're overY"
or something similar, when a bat
ter hits at wide one after giving
a signal, then the joke is on the
one who roasts the player.
The local team has just such sig
nails, and many games have been
won this season by using them. But
when it works it is unnoticed by
the crowd that a signal has been
used. When it fails, it is bone
head and the one who failed should
be taken out, according to some
people.
Just stop and think for a minute
which would make you feel better
if you were playing in an import
ant game. Near the first of the
game you have a bad error or strike
out with the bases loaded. Some
one yells, "Take him out, " He's
rotten,' or could you play better
if some one shouted, "That's all
right, old boy, you III get it the next
time"g When it is the former you
feel like quitting. When it is the
latter you feel like praying for an
other chance like you just had. I
speak from experience because
one time played ball with the New
ark team and / now attend every
game.
Of course it is all right to guy
the visiting team and no visiting
team minds kidding if it is Of the
right kind. But few of the New
ark fans go beyond kidding. Per-
,onal and insulting remarks are
getting to be very common with
some Of local fans.
Now that the team has cinched
the pennant, turn out in full force
10 their remaining games. Cheer
and congratulate them and if they
nave an off day and the game is a
slow one, don't say so. Think
what you please only keep it to
yourself unless it is something
good. Speak well Of all of the
players. You can afford to over
COX all mistakes now, and watch
for the old flag to float on Delaware
avneue next season.
