"It is rarely that one has an appor-
tunity TO begin at the foundation and
rear superstructure upon ideals.
Such rare privilege is that Of the
Woman's College of Delaware, whose
dedication and the installation OF
whose dean has called us together
today. In considering what shall be
the future of this college we must
define to ourselves with clearness and
with exactncss what shall be the
ideals by which its policy shall be
determined The first question to
ask ourselves is what kind OF young
women shall this college try to
graduate? First and foremost she
must be trained and disciplined on
the intellectual side She must
recognize scholarship and foster its
interests wherever she may find them.
She must be trained 20 have high
minded standards TO have a hnes
strong body. and to have the social
point of view. She must be keenly
aware Of her obligation and relation
10 the social group in which she may
find herself. she must be courteous,
well-mannered and reverent. she must
possess certain large virtues-such as
tolerance and patience In other
words, this college shall try to pro-
duce young women of intellectual and

How shall these ideals be accom-
plishedl BY acquiring a faculty who
shall be teachers and Investigators
who shall preserve the arts. letters and
pure sciences who shall build vocation.
al work only on sound foundations OF
mental training and discipline. There
must be department of physical edu

whether they have children of THEN

children Of other women. There mus

CARNATIONS which teach social rcspon

presented to the Women's College by
American Flag Council Jr. O. L. A. NJ.
ut the dedication this afternoon, said:
81 assure YOU that il is indeed an
/. honor to be selected 70 receive this flag
=. from your council. Il is fitting coin
/, cidence that American Flag Council
=, should present Old Glory to this
women's college. for as you all no
y doubt know, within site of this place is
, the historic spot, at Cooch's BrHlge
= where in l777 the American flag was

IL GAS we look at the flag today, with
its forty-eight stars, each symbolic of a

Of the vicissitudes which our country ex-
ny perienced and passed through in up
ne wards ia century and a quarter, we
IS cannot help from feeling a just pride
81 in knowing that it stands for a united

ne are most grateful that at this time they
o. are at peace among themselves and at
ol peace with every nation in the world"

Ie nations at peace with each other. Con-
lie tinuing, he said:
X "But let ms not talk of war-rather
= let us talk of peace. Womankind can
r and should implant in the minds and
o hearts of the men of this nation the
s utter wantonness and futility of war.
!, For is It not always the woman who
chiefly suffers from the eject of warl
! For no doubt every hero who is made
