A combined dramatic and musical per-
formance will be given by the students
of Delaware College sometime this
spring, probably in May. The program
will consist Of two one-act plays and a
concert by the Mandolin Club.
BORDER BOYS MUSTERED OUT
The Delaware Students with all the
other men from the border were mus
tered out from Fort dupont on Thurs
day, February Is. After thorough
examination of their physical condition
and the condition of their equipment,
the discharge papers were given out.
On account of lack of time the men
were not payed off and were, on that
account held over until Friday morning.
The men are heartily welcomed at the
college and the students are delighted
to know that Wilson O'Daniel, Clarence
Brewer, of fredericksburg, Md, and
Hugh Downing of Dover, are going to
spend the remainder Of this term in re-
viewing and taking elective courses at
the college.
ADDRESSES ARTS AND SCIENCE CLUB
On February IL, Dean Cullimore, of
the Engineering Department delivered
lecture to the members of the Arts
& Science Club on the subject, "The
Ideals of an Engineers Education"
In general, Professor Cullimore said
that the aim of education is service.
AS applied to an engineer there are six
requirements to accomplish this end:
(D character, (2) judgment, (3) eff
cheney, (N knowledge of fundamentals,
(5) technique. AS the speaker ex-
pressed it, "the engineer must be a
man first and then an engineer" To
accomplish this end man must have
very broad education. Under present
conditions, however, engineers usually
put all of their time on the technique of
engineering and scarcely give thought
to studies in the Arts & Science course.
On the other hand Arts & Science stu
dents stick to closely to their course
and avoid some of the courses in engi-
neering which it would be profitable for
them to take. For example, courses in
Economics, Literature, etc., would be
very valuable to an engineer. Time,
however, prevents the college from
offering such courses to engineers in the
four year course. Several colleges
have attempted to remedy this condi-
ton by giving post graduate work,
but at Delaware" most students have
only four years to spend in college.
This fact makes the problem very diff
cult to solve; but with the cooperation
of the facilities in the two departments
much can be done to better the present
conditions.
