ductiveness but of imperfect dis
tribution. Who knows this better
than the Delaware fruitgrower,
who appreciates that it is not only
the size of his crop NUT his mar
keting facilities that make the sue
cess Of his work? The problem of
the distribution of knowledge is
just as difficult of solution today
as the problems of the distribution
of material products
1.-TWO and one-half millions in
art-loving Paris have never been
inside the Louvre. Four millions
in book-making New York have
never been inside the wonderful
city library. The Women's Col
lege of Delaware is forming a new
and needed distributing station.
We are glad for every time that
the word college is upon your
lips, knowing that it is familiarity
with it's meaning that will make
the young people who hear it anx-
ious to be members of some college.
Some years ago in the plains of
Illinois a little boy studied a ge-
ography that had picture of Har-
ward College in it. 1t was a poor
little picture but every time he
looked at it he said: Some day ]
shall go to Harvard College,
When he was ready for college,
however, it chanced that he went
to Yale. Today in the office of that
college graduate, DR.. Sage, the
secretary of the General Educa-
tional Board, there is more in
formation about educational insti-
tutions than in any other one place
in the country, and certainly nc
one is doing more to send young
people where they can prepare for
efficiency in life than he. Now
the important thing was not
whether he should go to Harvard
or to Yale, but the great decision
was the one he made when he was
little fellow studying his geogra
nhy lesson, that he would go to col
lege. Thus the very presence Of I
new college in Delaware may stim
ulate interest in all college work.

Happy is the State that it has
had for one scholastic year equip
ment, teachers and students, each
reasonable in quantity. The ex-
pertinent is already a success, and
all doubts have been dispelled.
Here we have a State College for
Women affiliated with a State Col
lege for Men Already the need of
it has been demonstrated, and the
cost of it justified. A sound,
wholesome and enduring founda.
tion for future success and devel-
opment has been laid. In settling
the policies, adopting plans and
methods, and creating a proper
scholastic and disciplinary atmos
phere, those who have guided the
infant steps of this child of educa-
ti0n have been wise and capable.
1t was no easy task to do it right.
II is a notable achievement, that
already the attitude of the men Of
the older institutions towards the
women of the younger one is that
of chivalrous older brothers to-
wards younger sisters. That pre-
cious thing must be made an en-
during tradition, kept sacred by
the manhood of Delaware College.
As the big older brothers at the
other end of the new campus grow
in prosperity. numbers and results,
this young sister will go forward,
the two moving in harmony and
generous rivalry.
This healthy child having
started it's life so happily, and it's
proper development being so safe
ly assured, it is fit that the first
anniversary of its birth should be
celebrated. So we are gathered
here today to join in Fluctuations
upon past triumphs and prophecies
of future achievements
