Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1917-02-07

Inc modern method is to study
carefully all future needs, and to
anticipate the size and location of
buildings suited to meet those
needs, to coordinate architectural
~ all departments and to arrange
them as a practical, convenient
and attractive group.
such group plan for Delaware
college, it is believed, has been
evolved. While making the best
use of land owned by the college,
and requiring but small amount
to be added, it provides for the
probable growth through MANY
years of the various activities of
the institution. Instruction and
experiment, gardening and agricul-
ture, military drill, recreation and
athletics, and accommodation for
residence have been considered.
There is convenient access to each
building, and easy communication
between all. Each building has a
favorable exposure and the best
natural lighting. That there is
economy of heating and superin-
tendence in such a plan is obvious,
as we'll as that each building is
insured for all time against any
encroachment upon it's open and
attractive surroundings.
The main buildings are to be
placed about cross-shaped space
of level turf known, according to
Delawarean tradition, as "The
Green" 1t is here that the build
ing most urgently needed, Wolf
Hall, for the department of agri-
culture, is now being erected.
Opposite Wolf Hall an equally
large space has been reserved for
the great building for engineer
ing, which is already needed. At
the southern end of The Green
will be placed the College Library,
on each side of which, in SYM
metrical arrangement, are to be
,, Recitation Halls and the Admin
istration Building, while two other
buildings, the use of which has
not yet been determined, serve to
,, give balance and symmetry to
this cross axis of The Green as
