DELAWARE COLLEGE

On Monday, February 8. Prof. Short
talked at the chapel exercises at Della
ware College on the general subject of
the best attitude of old students
toward new students at the College.
After telling about the IF orts
being put forth by trustees, faculty and
alumni toward the recent rapid expan-
sion of the college, he explained what
he considered to be the function of the
students in the development of greater
and better Delaware College. He said
that every student in the College must
feel that he is in large measure re-
sponsible, through his conduct at college
and away from college, for the respect
which his alma mater is held throughout
the state. He emphasized the fact
that the practice of hap hazing, which
once flourished at Delaware, is now con-
sidered disgraceful and that no true
Delaware College student will stand for
hazing in any form.
On Tuesday, January 9, Prof. Merrill
Smith addressed the students on some
remarkable work done recently in the
writing OF great deal in very small
spaces by man named Webb. This
man, said the speaker, wrote the entire
Lords Prayer on a piece of glass SO
small that on the same scale twenty
Bibles could be written within a space
an inch square. "It is easy to conceive
declared Prof. Smith, that the memo
ries of an entire life time might be
written on the surface of the average
brains.
On Wednesday, /, Prof. Srager ex-
planned some of advantages of the small
college over the large one. The three
main reasons for his opinion were Q)
that in small college every student
can be prominent in something, (2) that
that the relations between that the
faculty and students are closer, and (3)
that the attitude Of the graduate of q
college Is more likely to mean success
than is the attitude of the large college
or University.
AWARDED FOOTBALLS AND SWEATERS

Council, the following men members OF
the Varsity football team were awarded
