INFIRMARY FOR DELAWARE
COLLEGE IS RECOMMENDED

agreed to handle the business affairs
of this fund. A permanent committee
consisting of certain officials of the
college and the president of the
alumni association. have been placed
in charge of the administration of the
student loan fund. To Mr.. Marvel
and TO the friends who have cooper
ated with him in rendering timely as
sistance to students in the dual col
leges Of Delaware. our gratitude is
due BY means OF this fund. which
may be counted upon to grow steadily
through the years, the door to a
larger life Of service will be opened
to many a worthy man and woman.
"A signal proof OF this spirit was
the fact that our donor, OF his own
accord, put into the treasury of the
college on January 10. 100000 for
buildings, which it was understood
would be paid in installments. as the
work advanced. BY this generous act
the college gets the accruing interest
upon this sum. which will make in
itself a substantial addition 20 the
funds available for the proposed
buildings.
Need OF an Infirmary.
IAN inhrmary is needed not only 10
care for the sick, but also by timely
attention TO prevent illness on the
part Of our students Fortunately
among the properties recently ac-
quired by the college the Stoll house
is admirably adapted for this purpose.
The equipment would require a COM
paratiyely small sum. while the sal
airy of a trained nurse and the main
tenance Of the infrmary could be
borne. at least in part, by a small
fee charged each student. Such an
infrmary fee would mean a saving to
practically every student
I'm view Of the fact that it is plan
ned to lay the cornerstone Of the
science building at commencement,

u Winifred J. Robinson, as Dean. Th'
Womens College has justified tn
u most sanguine expectations OF thl
y many friends who championed Id
