ATHLETICS IN INSTITUTIONS
On Tuesday, November %, Dean E.
L. Smith delivered Chapel talk to the
students on athletic Activities in
Educational Institutions. After re-
viewing the different forms of sport in
dulged in by men of affairs, the speaker
considered whether it was true THAT
far too large percentage of the stu
dents In our American educational in
stitutions and those of foreign lands as
well have no interest in anything that
tends to take them out of DOORS
Dean Smith said in part: Admitting
the value of the highly developed sys-
tenn in vogue in our American institu-
tions today for the production espe-
cially trained athletes, and not wishing
even in the slightest degree to detract
from the good work now being done by
the departments of physical education
in systematizing the various forms of
exercise in our colleges and universities.
/ believe we must go still further and
evolve some efficient method to induce
those of our students who are not in
terested to participation in outdoor
sport for its own sake. In other words
our educational institutions collectively
are not reaching their maximum eff
cheney if they are not doing something
for the physical welfare of the great
number it is possible to reach"
JERSEY BULL PRESENTED TO COLLEGE
Delaware College received as a gift
from Mr. Charles NJ. Lea of Devou,
Pa, a Jersey bull, Raleigh's Oxford
Boy 1O6933 This animal which is three
years of age, carries a combination of
the best blood lines found in the high
producing Jersey families in this coun-
try. He is grandson of Mable's Ra-
leigh and Oxford's You'll Do, both of
which bulls have made their mark in
Jersey history in the United States
Raleigh's Oxford Boy will head the
Jerseys in the Delaware College herd
and several females will probably be
added to the herd to be mated with
him. He was bred in the herd of Mr..
c. l. Hudson of East Norwich r. | 1t
is hoped that Delaware Jersey breeders
will take advantage of the presence of
this excellent individual in the college
herd.
