One of the most notable of all
commencements at Delaware Col
lege is that which draws to
close this evening. Early this
morning Commencement D ay
proper-crowds of the friends of
Delaware assembled under the
fine old lindens in honor of the
graduation exercises of the Glass
of 1916. Many familiar faces
were seen in the crowd that
grouped around the speakers
platform in the center of the
wide avenue leading to the old
oratory. Members of the grad
uating class, the faculty and trus-
tees. also students of the Women's
College, occupied seats on the Or
atorv steps, facing the speakers.
The spirit of the newer Della
ware was sounded in the Senior
oration delivered by Edward Will
lam Martin, who spoke on "The
Opportunities and Responsibility
Of the Student" which is given
in full in another column.
Governor Miller was present
and introduced John Bassett
Moore. the speaker of the morn
ing. The Governor said, "Few of
us dealing with questions purely
domestic and national in charac-
ter can have small conception of
the difficulties of those arising
among nations. Their isolation
affects all nations; the adjust
ment must be effected through
the medium of diplomacy and
the principles of international
law. To the graduates of 1916
has come the honor of being ad-
dressed by Americas most fore
most expert; counsel to chief ex-
ecutives, and writer on interna-
tional subjects, an authority rec
ognized b OF h at home and
abroad"
The speaker prefaced his ad-
dress on Educational Crosscur-
rents with the remark, "I am a
native Delawarean and I am glad
to come back to my old home"
He said:
1T is seldom that the progress
of a school is, in brief space o.
time, attended with so many
striking events as have lately
marked the career of Delaware
College. Indeed, but for the fact
that each new act or benefaction,
proceeding from some wise Gre
ative design, has, by distinctly in
creasing the capacity of the in
stitution for future growth and
usefulness, impressively enlarg-
ed the bounds of hope and of
promise, epoch making develop
ments would have become almost
commonplace.
Nevertheless, a native Della
warean need not be classed
among the patriarchs who re-
calls time when the influence of
Delaware College upon the life of
the state was practically negli-
gible. Though nominally the
head of the educational system of

Spirit Of Greater Delaware
Permeates Commencement Exercises
Awarded-- d--MiIitary Ap-

tical education of the industrial
classes in the several pursuits
and professions Of life.' Although
various acts of Congress have
since increased the aid thus ex-
tended, till the amount now re-
celve'l by Delaware College from
national sources is almost eigh-
teen times as great as that de-
rived from the first grart. these
later contributions are to be re-
garded only as amplifcations of
But it is during the past thir-
ty years that the chief develop
ment of Delaware College has
taken place; and of the results of
that development, not the least
important, down to a very recent
day, was the demonstration to
the State and to the public of the
fact that there existed here a
great opportunity for educational
effort. Three years ago, when, bv
amendment of it's charter, the
college became the exclusive
charge of the State, and the State,
conscious of it's new and enlarged
responsibilities, provided for the
establishment of the affiliated
"Women's College of Delaware"
the demonstration may be said to
nave been complete. And then
was witnessed that highly gratifv-
ing manifestation on the part of
the alumni of whole-hearted low
atty, which, in securing an en-
doWment for the administrative
headship of the institution, prov
ed to be but the precursor of the
private munificence that has fur
nlshed the means for providing
the institution with grounds and
with buildings, and particularly
with the hall Of science whose
cornerstone is to be laid TODAY.
we con It nue e therefore to
stand with faces turned towards
the future. For a steadygoing
people, not given to experimental
tlon, the recent pace perhaps has
been rapid. but not alarminglv
so. Too often distrust of change
springs from a settled dislike of
all innovation, while slowness of
growth may be merely a sign of
weakness. The quick advance of
Delaware College to position
among institutions of learning
whose future is matter of GEN
eral interest and concern affords
no ground for apprehension. On
the contrary, it is full of whole
some significance; for it is the
result of coordination of spir-
itual forces in whose vital union
an institution of learning finds
the best assurance of enduring
life and ever increasing useful
ness. Nor. in affirming this to be
the case, do I lose sight of the fact
that a marked feature of the ad-
vance was the provision of equal
educational opportunity for wo-
men. By this act of enlightened
Justice, as the result of which the
Women's College was, to the
lasting honor and credit of the

Kelly Takes
Senior Souls
at Washington

Washington, Sept. 4.-Jack Kelly,
OF the Vesper Boat Club, of Philadel-
mia. who was beaten in the national
regatta, came into his own here at the
annual renewal OF the Middle States
Regatta this afternoon. The Nesper
man, rowing with great snap and VIM,
and slightly better form than he did
at Duluth. urged his craft first over
the line in the senior single SOULS.
Louis Zoha, rowing in the colors of
the Ravenswood Boat Club, of Long
Island City, gave Kell y hard fight
of it, but the latter was just little
too good, and the brawny Bohemian
could not catch him.
The Arundel Boat Club, of Baltimore,
the Penn Barge Club, the Undine and
the Vespcr Rowing clubs, all OF Phil
adelphia, accounted for twelve Of the
sixteen races between them. The Arun-
dels won the senior intermediate and
Junior four-oared races. the Penn
Barge captured the intermediate single
and double, and also the senior doubles
for 40 oarsmen. The Vespers took
care Of the senior singles, the doubles
and the quadruple. while the Undine
won the senior Fights, intermediate
eight and the 40 senior singles, with
Atkinson rowing. The ATLANTA Row
ing Club. of New York, won the junior
double SOULS, and saved the big city
from being blanked.

thousand, gathered yesterday at Mas
peth, L. l., where the New York Gale
DOMAIN Club held its sixtieth annual
games. For the first time. amateur
races were on the programme.
The small and soft track did not
appeal TO the athletes, and the runners
crowded each other in their competi-
ton. j. II. Benish, a Rhode Island
College student, displayed fine brand
of running in capturing the two-mile
event from the 50yard mark. The New
England athlete quickly passed his OPP
ponents, taking the lead at one and a
half miles. to win by twenty yards.
Willie Gordon, the senior champion
of the New York Athletic Club, started
from scratch in the 1,000-yard handicap
run, but the heavy going forced him to
stop early. Arthur Newkirk, a lanky
youth of the Newark Athletic Club,
with a 3S-yard start, proved faster than
Eddie Carney and Walter Powe in a
final sprint.
