PUBLICITY COMMITTEE
ISSUES STATEMENT
THE WORK AS CONDUCTED At DELAWARE
COLLEGE


placed in the papers has been
written by the committee. Wheth-
er this work has impressed favor
ably the authorities of the College
and the people of the state, it is
not, of course, for the committee
to say; we would merely refer
alumni and others who are inter-
ested to the reports of President
Mitchell, which, we take for grant
ed, every graduate of the College
has carefully studied. We are now
preparing to publish a series of
special articles on what Delaware
College has done for the various
professions of teaching, the law,
medicine, engineering, etc. The
first of these articles-on what
Delaware College has done for the
teaching professionals nearly
ready for publication.
Last year, in order to increase
the effectiveness of it's work, the
committee sent questionaires to
! fifty colleges, more or less, similar
in situation and appeal to Della,
ware College, asking for informa-
ton in regard to their methods OF
collecting and getting published
news items of events at their in.
situations. AS a result of the re.
plies, many of which were exceed,
ingly helpful, the work of the com
mittee was thoroughly reorganizeC
on system which we believe com
pares favorably with that in use
at any of the smaller colleges.
The composition of the present
committee and it's methods of col
Letting and preparing news fol

are four faculty membership

resenting each of the three depart
