not. The boy who is thinking of
coming to Delaware is interested
in all her doings. He wants,
among other things, to know her
football score. And if he can't
discover it (when he can find the
score of nearly every other col
lege), he will begin to wonder.
And. altho wonder makes for
curiosity, and curiosity opens the
way for culture, and culture and
Delaware College are synonymous,
his is not the right kind of wond-
err; for it may end in his going
somewhere else.

pose is this: that every year a SEN

some easyness Of pen, and an in
curing eye about the campus. Let

to assume his considering it 9
solemn duty to see that every bit
of college gossip gets into the
papers. He should send in &C
counts of every thing that hap
pens: athletic contests of every
kind, dances. fraternity parties,
lectures, concerts, and, last but
not least, all scholastic honors
He must remember that the par
ents of boys already going to Del
aware are interested in all her
doings. Interest leads gradually
to enthusiasm, and enthusiasm is
infectious. 1t must be his pur-
pose during his whole senior year
to do all in his power to make the
people of this state enthusiastic
about their college.
And that should not be a diff
cult task. Here is the state of Del
