be nation wide. The Transcript trusts
this ambition win aim at achieving
quality rather than quantity in its aca-
demic output. Indeed, we would view
II as a misfortune rather than bles-
sing were Delaware College to be able
in the future to rival the larger colleges 1
whose student body mounts up into the
thousands.
We should rather see the college at
tain a national reputation for the su-
perior excellence of its teaching than
get a great name because of its prince
ly endowments or of its great numbers.
The moral force born at Rugby under
the wise rule of an Arnold, became
real national influence that helped
mould all England. Thus too mayaDela-
ware College prove a school of mafnliness
and patriotism that will help make our
finest product American gentlemen.
We Venture suggestion whereby
the College can speedily get repute
which will bring it many students-en-
dow a chair in Spanish and the study of
the South American countries which use
it
Among the many notable rsuts
which will follow in the wake of this
colossal European war, are certain eco
nomic and trade changes, which if our
country be wise and active will rebound
greatly to its advantage.
One of these economic changes is the
shifting of the South American trade
which once almost wholly European, is
now within the grasp of the UniteC
States-nay, is fairly entreating to b'
taken over by it.
The richest lmmedlate foreign melt
for the exploitation of our banking
systems and of our commerce AM
manufactures, is these Spanish speak
ing peoples numbering about 40, OOO OOO
Thus, counting Mexico with its 10000,
900, &C, 900, 600 of inhabitants using tn
Spanish language are a rich prize fo
future commercial and financial cor
quest with the odds greatly in ou
country's favor-for they lie at OF
very doors.
Both Mexico and these states {
South America are rich in natural Re
sources, and their people are awakel
ing to the needs of the goth centul
civilization. Once the prey of endle'
revolutions they now all, except wretcl
ed Mexico, have settled government
and are eagerly seeking the peacef
development of their trade, commerc
mining and agriculture. Mexico W
also soon awake to a higher destin
chastened by the severe schooling of
mad follies of strife.
We'believe highly advantages caree
are opening before our young busine
men who have thoro knowledge
the Spanish language, and of the cl
toms, tastes, and needs of all the
South American countries using it
If, therefore, Delaware College "
emphasize the study of Spanish, i
parting not merely the usual linguis
smatter acquired i'll colleges, but r
ability to read, write, speak and und
stand this, beautiful speech of Cervan
and Lope de Vega, it will thus at OF
in this important respect rise to a co
manding Importance among our learr
institutions. The Transcript hopes
friends and officials of the College '
give this suggestion the serious att
tion its Importance merits.
