COMMITTEE CONSIDERS
COLLEGE PRESIDENT
Many Applicants Reported
No Names Announced

The new president of Delaware
College is of vital interest, not only
to the College and its friends, but
to every citizen in the State. 1t is
of vital interest, not only to those
directly interested in educational
work throughout the State, but to
every home. For Delaware College
is not only to stand at the head of
the educational system but is des-
tined to WELD an influence Of much
larger sphere than mere class room
work.
No expression Of opinion relative
to the matter has come from the
Committee. All sorts Of rumors
are atioat but to date absolutely no
information has been given out.
The following is clipped from
last nights Every Evening.
The committee Of trustees Of Del
aware College appointed to consid-
er the selection of a president for
the college to succeed DR.. George A..
Harter, who resigned in order to
devote his entire attention to his
PROFESSIONAL duties, met on Satur-
day at the office of John Biggs, a
member Of the committee, in this
city. The members Of the commit
tee comprise Henry B. Thompson,
Henry Ridgely, Charles G. Curtis,
John Biggs, Watson B. Harrington
S. H. Messick and Charles B.
Evans. This was not the first
meeting the committee has held.
The committee has had under
consideration about 60 names. The
majority of them were not appli-
cants. By the process Of elimina-
ton the committee has reduced the
number to seven whose names they
are now considering. The commit
tee does not know that any of these
seven persons whose names are be-
ing considered would accept the
place if it is offered them but has
no reason to believe that they
I would decline it. All Of them re-
side outside Of the State Of Della
ware. Their names could not be
learned.

noon. denomination had been urg-
ed upon Edward L. Richards and
Robert S. Gallaher, and until the
time of the opening Of the polls it
was not generally known that there
would be any opposition to their
reelection. The new candidates,
Andrew L. Fisher and James NJ.
Pennington, it is understood, were
backed by those opposing the kim
dergarten and commercial depart
ments as features Of the school.
The Present administration was en-
dorsed by the reelection of Messrs.
Richards and Gallaher. Many vot-
ers believing the election to be an
uncontested one, failed to visit the
polls, only 102 persnos voting dur
ing the afternoon. The vote was as
follows:
Robert Gallaher, 60; Edward L.
Richards, 80; James M. Penning-
ton 43; Andrew L. Fisher, Al.
Seven votes, early in the election,
We're cast for George Murray, ow-
ing to the idea of several voters that
it was necessary to elect on the
Board, one member residing out of
town. This detail Of the law, how
ever is covered by the membership
of Harvey Hoffecker, whose resi-
dence is outside of the limits Of

New College Buildings
Complete By August

Mrs. A. D.. Warner and Mrs.
Elizabeth G. Robinson of Will
mington visited the Affiliated Col
lege site yesterday, and consulted
with Mr.. Hough relative to photo
graphs Of the interior Of the build
ings, to be used in the college bull
letin to be published within short
time. Work is progressing rap
idly on the buildings. The third
floor joists were being laid today on
Residence Hall, and it is believed
by the contractor this building will
be rooted in by the first Of June.
Work on Science Hall will reach
the same stage within week s time
Iron stairways are now being erect
ed. While work on the buildings
from the outside may seem rather
slow, Mr.. Hough has so planned
that many departments are under
way at one time. Those in charge
say there is no doubt whatever in
their minds, that Residence Hall
will be complete, ready for the fur
nishers by August fifteenth. Quot
ing a member Of the commission,
"'There is absolutely no doubt both
buildings will be complete and
ready for occupancy by the first Of
the school year. "

Musical Comedy Presented
By Local Talent

Rehearsals are progressing for
theatricals to be given by members
Of the Sophomore class, Delaware
College, under the direction of Mrs.
NJ. Jane Murray, in the Newark
Opera House, on Friday evening,
May s. Leading parts in the first,
a farce -comedy-The Blessed Baby
will be taken by Miss Katharine
Bowen and Mr.. Howard Foster.
The big feature Of the evening will
be the musical comedy, "The Wors-
ted Man, the leading part to be
taken by Mrs. Murray, whose beau
tiful contralto voice will lead in the
songs and choruses. 1t may be
trite, but it is none the less true,
when we say that Mrs. Murray
needs no introduction to Newark
audience. While a resident in this
locality for only a few years, she
has entered enthusiastically into
the life Of the community, and al
ways has been ready to lend help
ing hand in any undertaking, es-
pecially when planned to foster the
young peoples cause. Recognizing
her past experience and local sue
cesses, the coming comedies are pre-
dicted great success.
In "The Worsted Man" all the
characters, except Mrs. Murray's
part, will be portrayed by college
boys, leading parts being taken by
Campbell, Thomas, Mather, Pepper
Morrison, Brayshaw, Edgar, Tay-
lor, Adams, and Ramsey.
The play is interspersed with
bright catchy music, sure to call
forth the enthusiasm Of the aud
ience.
Delaware College Orchestra will
figure largely on the program.
Proceeds will be added to fund
for the publication of the College
yearbook, "The Blue Hen, " which
will appear early in 1915.

MUSIC TO APP. ..r
PEAL TO EVERYONE
Last Community Meeting On
May Eleventh

The last Of the series of Com,
munity Meetings given in the High
School Building during the winter,
promises to be Of unusual interest.
Dean Robinson Of the new Won
ems College Of Delaware will be
present and talk informally ABOUT
the plans for the new college. The
larger part of the evening will be
taken up with a recital by Mrs.
Charles G. Robinson, Of Claymont,
Delaware.
Mrs. Robinson is chairman of the
Music Committee of the Delaware
State Federation Of Women s Clubs
and has undertaken during the past
winter a campaign to develop the
appreciation of good music, as con-
trasted with the cheap, trashy jim
giles Of the day.
There exists in our musical liter
ature an undreamed Of wealth Of
tone poems, lyrics, and piano mood
pictures perfectly possible to a
player Of the most modest preten-
sions. These conform to the basic
principles of good music, and are
yet so simple and melodic, so in
telligible, and so varied, as to ap-
peal to even the class of listeners
who frankly attest their non-com-
prehension of music. Music is an
active factor in our lives, and it is
a duty to direct the taste toward
the best. A low standard in lnusic
should not be tolerated anymore
than trashy literature or vulgar
chromos. A few years ago we
might have deplored the tawdry
vulgarity Of some of the popular
songs, but they were harmless as
dew, as compared with many that
food the market today. The new
type Of dancing which prevails in
society may be traced to the I'M
conscious influence Of the music,
with it's alluring rhyme and rhythm
which we have allowed to become
the popular music Of today. A
mental nausea seizes one when look
ing through the list Of best sellers
as displayed in the large stores
where music is sold.
The only remedy for this declin-
ing musical taste is found in Mrs.
Robinson's plan to Eight bad
music with good music" Many
people regard programs of the es-
tablished "classics in somewhat
the same light that a child might
look upon an afternoon with
Browning. "It is too complex, +"
is their unconscious impression.
Mrs. Robinson believes a person
may be convinced that such an
idea is wrong one, by listening to
program of carefully selected
modern writings. She has consent
ed to present this delightful argu-
ment to the people Of Newark at the
Community Meeting on May elev-
enth. The selections have been
made with view of appealing to
both the masculine and feminine
mind, and cordial invitation is
extended to everyone, to enjoy the
rare opportunity offered to us. Mrs
Robinson adds charm to her recitals
by giving the story and the local
setting to the pieces which she plays

Delaware College
Extension Work

On Friday afternoon, April "a,
DR.. E. V. Vaughn Of Delaware Col
lege gave his lecture on "Some Cur
ious Facts in Delaware History"
before the Parent Teachers Asso-
citation Of Harrington, Delaware.
This lecture is one of the series of
Extension Lectures recently plan
ned by the College. The same lee
ture will be given Friday evening,
May l, at Delaware City. In addi-
ton to these, the following lectures
have been arranged:
Professor G. A. Short, "Water
and Its Purifcation,' at Lewes,
May 5; Professor G. A. McCue,
Across the Painted Desert at
Odessa, May 6; Professor E. L.
Smith, Napoleon Bonaparte," at
dupont High School, Wilmington,
May 13; DR.. e. V. Vaughn, Cur

High School, April 20, and "Our
Town." at Lewes, June 2; Profes-
sor A. e. Grantham, "Eugenics, or
Race Development" at Lewes,
May 10. ....
The College Extension Commit
tee is well Pleased at the interest
shown throughout the State in this
new phase Of college work. A num-
Der Of series, of probably five lee
lures each, are being arranged for
next winter. The papers of the
state have also spoken very favor
ably of this new undertaking. The
following quotation is part of an
editorial which appeared in the
Wilmington Morning News of
April 2S.
Delaware College Going to the
People,
"The offers of members of the
Delaware College faculty to lecture
IN towns has met with a cordial re-
sponse, and already sevral address
es are scheduled. There is no bet
ter way Of bringing the college in
to closer touch with the people. AS
has been said, if the people do not
come to the college it should go to
them, and that is what is being ac-
complished by the extension system.
The professors become acquaint-
ed with the people and the latter
have their thoughts turned toward
the good being done at Newark.
The natural outcome should be an
increase in the number of students
at Delaware College.
Delaware College needs to be
placed conspicuously before the
people for it is entering upon new
era. Not only may improvements
be expected in the college proper
because of the increasing of its fa-
cllltles and because a new president
who will have a fire ehand, is to be
secured, but a college for women is
to be opend which will educate the
daughters of the State at low ex-
!pense.
The time is ripe for the manifes-
latlon OF a more sympathetic inter-
&est among the people in the educa-
tlonal plant at Newark, and moth
nng could be more encouraging than
1ne prompt acceptance Of the offers
pt the professors to lecture"

maeist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for few days
