to every one interested in the Col

dents in the three departments #
agriculture, arts and science, and

comprises only those who are now
actually reciting; it omits all those
who for any reason left college. Of
these 200, Sc are in agriculture, So
in arts and science, and SO in engi-
neering. Fifty-seven come from
Wilmington, 100 from New Castle,
Kent and Sussex counties, and 43
from outside the state. There are
SO now in the Freshman class. Of
these 20 are in the agricultural

"Refused Notice. Every edi-

For instance, there is a man by the
name of John Blank, who refused
to take his paper out Of the post
office. He did not want it any long
er, and we wondered what was the
matter. Upon investigation of our
subscription book we found that
John was short $3.50. He stopped
the paper as matter Of economy
to us. One evening we went to
church, and John s melodious voice
rang out loud and clear in that soul
stirring song, "Jesus Paid 1t All. "
