COLLEGE YEAR BEGINS
Faculty and Students Ready for Work

Examinations have been held at
the dual colleges of Delaware,
every day this week. Since early
Monday morning the hacks and
express vans have been loaded to
their capacity, bringing students
and faculty to the old college
town in readiness for the opening
of the institutions tomorrow,
when regular classes begin at 8.15
a. m.
The first faculty meeting was
held last Monday, with forty in at
tendance. The daily classes, dur
ing the year, it was announced at
this meeting, will convene at 8.l5,
giving thirty extra minutes as a
greater convenience to the faculty
members teaching in the two col
leges. "The prospect for students
is excellent" President Mitchell
declared this morning, although
it is too early to make a definite
statement as to the enrolment of
the college,"
The returning students find
many changes to greet them after
summers absence. In the pile
of brick and debris on the cam
pus, skirted by workmen's shacks,
there is little to suggest the old
dormitory. All the laboratories
have been moved to the old Jones
and Elliott properties, the book
store to the Donnell property, the
library to the former Post build
ing. From an open stretch along
Main street, between the ole
Jones and the Maxwell properties
one catches a glimpse of the rising
walls of Wolf Hall, and the wide
sweep of the Boulevard. Board
ing houses, with the disappear
ance of the old landmarks, arr
temporarily scarce, the groul
having scattered farther eas
along Main street. Delaware mate
rally, is in transition. A spirit o
progress, which it is good to fee
pervades everywhere.
In the classrooms, the student
will find a number of new instrue
tors, most of whom fill position
newly created this college year

his nomination would almost certainly
he made on the third ballot
Many of the hughes supporters were
even more optimistic and said they
thought that before the result of the
second ballot was announced the drift
would be apparent to all delegates and
there would be enough changes of
votes to bring a nomination on the
second ballot
The Hughes mana gers expect Ariz-
ona, second on the roll of States, to
yield to New York so Governor Whit
man may place Justice Hughes in
nomination. At one time it was said
Alabama would yield to New York. but
it developed that the delegation was
divided between two or more candi-
dates, and having no candidate to of
fer, would pass when the state was
called.
! When the Hughes tide became ap-
parent late Tonight many inquiries We're
made Of those who are supposed to
speak for him as to whether his accept
! ance in case of nomination, would be in
any sense contingent upon a third party
! nomination by the proGressives. The
answer was that such a contingency
would in no wise be taken into considera-
tion by Mr. Hughes.
MOOSE WILL NOMINATE COLONEL.
| 1t seems practically certain that the

that they have no course other han to

plan to occupy the entire afternoon seS
