"HELp WIN THE WAR" SAYS PRESIDENT
THOMPSON
Following the address 10y MIR Taft,
Henry r. Thompson. president of the
board Of trustees made an address, map
ping out the future course Of the college.
Winning the war. be said, must tie our
program and take first place m our cur
ric1ilum' lie advocated strengthening
the engineering department. Delaware
! College, IN common with mpat lnsti-
tutiona Of learning be said, has had
new problems to meet during the past
year, due 10 war conditions Probably
the most serious il the question Of attend
ancc for tho drift of The undergraduate
mind ~ 10 serve with the coIors. This Is
n natural and most patriotic desire and
one to be commended; al the same tune
the longer view must b. considered. The
draft is taking care Of our immediate
needs and II seems desirable that students
under draft age should consider their
studies looking to a long war, tor ~ n
from this reservoir ~ undergraduates ha'
our future officers. engineers for shlpbuld-
ing, railroads etc arc to be- drawn, and
II we depletc his source too early ~ the
game, we are sure 20 impair such future
service This unrest in the undergraduate
mind for seryicc has probably been offset
by more Serious view on thor part
Study has n real value and there has been
concentration and condensation Of
thought on the college work. There is one
subject IN particular which seems appro-
pirate to bring IN your attention a. TINS
time and that IS education IS national and
not local and If he citizens of Delaware
hopn 10 maintain a college founded on this
idea they must agree 10 pay the price, ~
other words. We cannot hold professors
here IN competition with Michigan, Wis
consin Harvard and similar nstitu-
ons. unless we meet IN degree tho sala~
RES Of those larger institutions For two
years past our faculty has bcen depicted
due 10 this cauae and for the future we
must face larger faculty budget, II we
propose 10 hold the type of man at Della
ware that we know VIZ need In thus re-
spect orr relations with tho iast Legs
lattlrc were most fortunate. They wore
receptive ~ the new idea that obtains
Mt Delaware College and were liberal in
their attitude toward al that we asked
for The mistake we made We did not
ask for enough We did not foresee the
added expense incident - var that We
have hcen subjected - during The past
year All our supplies, notably ooal, have
advanced beyond figures anticipated The
result IS We will end our year with def

citizen IL Delaware feel that he Is part
ner in this enterprise We have nothing "
conceal and we have tired through orr
treasurer4 report TO make Our financial
statement clear to every one, and the
quality 81 the work and our methods Of
work are open to the inspection of every
citizen nder our new development
agriculture has been given first place and
with entire Justice Tor ! believe that, due
to Our environment, agriculture must 81
necessity occupy the most prominent
place IN our educational program tut the
rapid development ~ the river front IN
dnstries Of Wilmington has called 20 our
attention the necessity Of strengthening
our engineering department There IL no
reason why. under Dean Culimore's
leadership We cannot furnish IL part the
necessary men for these Wilmington IN
dustneS that are now Icing drawn from
Cornell Stevens and Massachusetts In
stItute Of Technology. and It would seem
wise even now 70 begin to plan ior larger
development for his department. The
demand IS immediate and Impelhng Tor
trained engineering minds IS a direct
contribution toward winning the war and
Delaware College has an opportunity 20
participate in j larger way han she IS
dong today.
We cannot zee clearly the end Of the
war: much IS obscure but we know the
end No American believes barbarIsTn Will
triumph over civilization. From our child
hood DAYS We have been taught 20 say
Thy vii be done on earth as it IS in
heaven. G. rist message 70 the world
was World-governed by love, by mercy,
by justice, Germany message S a world
controlled by relentless force, With all It's
factors Of cruelty, murder and rapine, a
world governed by a lying diplomacy, by
broken treaties, by a shameless contempt
for all things honorable. We have lived
for three years with closed eyes Today
ne see clearly. We know the issue and
We shall meet it. We have taken up the
gage Of battle, never to lay 1t down until
We see a world governed by liberty, peace
and righteousness.
