NEWARK. Sept. 2s.-1he Delaware
College Extension work in the way OF
lectures by members of the faculty
which was inaugur~ ted last year was
such great success that the work will
be continued this year ON a much larger
scale. The purpose of the work and all
the details are explained in an interest
ing bulletin entitled "lf you can't como
TO Delaware College, Delaware College
will come to you,' which has been pre-
pared by DR.. T.. v Vaughn, chairman OF
the extension. and which has just been
published
The bulletin in describing the work
says: The function oi q State college is
to meet the educational needs of the
people in all feasible ways The services
of the faculty and the resources of IL
braries and laboratories should be made
available not merely for the young peo-
pie who come to the campus, but for the
larger constituency in the communities
throughout the stat. It is recognized
today that the college and the people
should be in the closest touch. Della
ware College wishes to meet its oblga
tions TO the fullest extent, and therefore
proposes the following plans for eNten-
sion work during the year i9l5-l9l6.
Lectures.
at must be borne in mind that the
extension work Of the college is primar-
ily educational and does not pretend to
establish a mere entertainment bureau.
While the work maintains the ideals and
standards OF the college it is believed
that the lectures offered by the faculty
will appeal TO all classes and that they
will fiji the need for sound but interest
ing discussions of problems along the
various lines Of work represented. Some
of these lectures are illustrated with
lantern slides lrom the list of topics
outlined below. it is easy for schools,
churches. oranges. CT clubs, to arrange
for a single lecture or for a series OF
lectures running through the winter
months. Last year one hundred and
twenty-five lectures were called for.
It should be remembered, however.
that no person is engaged solely for ex-
tension work and that whatever the fac
ulty does in this way is done because Of
a desire TO forward the interests of the
.ollege and of the State. As the first
duty is to the regular classes at the
college. each member of the faculty can
deliver only a limited number of extern
sion lectures each month. But the col
lege will do all in its power to meet the
wishes of the various communities, and
requests for lectures will be honored in
the order in which tney are received.
Extension Centers.
During the present year the college
expects to ,tablsh a limited number
If extension centers for regular and sys-
lematic work under direction of mem
bers Of the faculty. Work done in these
eenters will be given credit towards grad
nation ANY person interested in form
ing such e center should write at once
TO the chairman of the College Extension
in regard TO the details of this plan.
Correspondence Study.
"While the college is at the head OF
the public schools system and offers a
higher education to all, many persons,
unfortunately. are unable to avail them
selves of this opportunity. Such per-
sons. however. have claim upon the
State for educational opportunities. Cor
respondence study seems TO meet their
requirements by Offering effective indi-
vidual instruction. which may be pur-
sued in the home. AZ present the com
mittee is unable 10 offer work, but hopes
20 announce definite plans in the near
future interested persons will aid ma
terially by writing the extension com.
mittee.
Essay and Oratorical Contest.
each wear it is proposed to hold
essay and oratorical contests at Della.
