Lapse Of Years.

After lapse of more than 80
years, Miss Rebecca Churchman, of
Elsmere, Del, has completed her
education at the Women's College
affiliated with Delaware College
which she started there when it was
co-educational institution. She will
be awarded degree of bachelor of
science in education- by the trustees
next week. Delaware College was
conducted as a co-educational insti-
tuition until about 1885. Trustees
then decided to make it college for
men only, Miss Churchman had
been a student two years in the col
lege when this action was taken.
For number of years afterward
she taught school at Elsmere, and
was principal part of that time.
Two years ago the Women's College
was established. Miss Churchman
took advantage of the opportunity
of finishing her education and get
ting a degree. On learning how she
had been deprived OF the chance to
get a degree more than 80 years ago
the academic council decided to give
her credit for the two years she
studied back in the SOs.-Ex.

WEST NOTTINGHAM ACADEMY.
Commencement Exercises Held
Improvements To Be Made
Courses. Added.

y
The 176th Annual Commencement
of West Nottingham Academy was
held in the West Nottingham Pres
byterian church at o'clock on
Thursday, June 8th. The grad
uating addresses by William Basil
Reynolds, Philip Albert Foster
David Lawrence Glack1n and Maude
Mearns Reynolds did credit both to
themselves and the institution
They were fresh, clean-cut and well
delivered.
Two excellent addresses were de-
livered by Justice Stanton ]. Peelle,
Retired Chief Justice of the u. S.
Court of Claims and President of
the Board of Trustees of the Acad-
emy, and Rev. Paul r. Hickok,
Pastor of the Metropolitan Presby-
terian church, Washington, D.. c.,
also trustee Of the Academy. The
former went into the history of our
American school system, emphasiz-
ing the part our schools have played
in the formation and establishing
of American ideals. The latter
dwelt on the fact that the world
today is not asking of young men
and women, what courses they have
taken and where they graduated,
but what they can do. Little
grains of powder, little daubs of
paint, make girls face look like
what it amt" The world demands
the stamp of reality.
During the summer many i'm
provements are to be made including
a complete renovation of the Dorm
itory, improvement OF the heating
system and the installment of new
and up-to-date water and sewage
system at the Academy. An active
campaign is to be started immedi-
ately to raise funds for new COM
bined administration building and
boys dormitory.
A thorough business course is
being added. And the College
Board of the Presbyterian Church
has given an extra appropriation for
the distinct and definite purpose of
having the English Bible taught in
thorough and systematic way. Three
extra teachers have been added to
the staff. The teaching of agricul-
ture is to find large and important
place in the curriculum.
The Alumni and friends of the
institution have every reason to
look forward to a steady and pro-
gressive development of the school
under the wise guidance of the
Synod of Baltimore.
Music for the commencement was
furnished by the Rising Sun Orches-
ira and thoroughly enjoyed by all.
The dinner was furnished by the
ladies of West Nottingham Presby-
terian church, and was an excellent
example of how thoroughly they
accomplish anything they set out to
do AS one of the speakers suggest
ed it was a banquet rather than a
dinner.
