Henry B. Thompson. president Of the
Board of Trustees, made an address,
mapping out the future course OF the
college.
Delaware College. in common with
most institutions OF learning, has had
new problems 20 meet during the past
year, due 10 war conditions" Mr.
Thompson said. Probably the most
serious is the question Of attendance,
for the drift OF the undergraduate
mind is TO serve with the colors. This
Is a natural and most patriotic desire
and one TO be commended, al the same
/ time the longer view must be consid-
cred. The draft is taking care OF our
/ immediate needs and IL seems desirable
/ that students under. draft age should
consider their studies looking 10 a lone
war, for n is from this reservoir Of
| undergraduates that our future officers
/ engineers for shlpbuilding, railroads
etc. are 20 be drawn and n we de
plete this source too early In the game
we are sure 10 impair such futur
service.
There Is one subject IN partlcula
which seems appropriate 20 bring Z
YOUR attention az this time and that Il
education is national and not loca
and II The citizens Of Delaware hope {
! maintain a college founded on thl
idea, they must agree 10 pay the prioe
in other words. we cannot hold pre-
fessors here In competition wit
Michigan. Wisconsin, Harvard and simi
lar institutions. unless we meet in de
gree. the salaries OF those larger insti
tutions.
I "For two years past our faculty hs
been depleted due 90 this cause. ant
for the future we must face a large
| faculty budget II we propose TO holC
/ the type Of man al Delaware that w,
/ know we need In this respect our re-
/ lations with the last legislature were
most fortunate. They were receptive
/ to show 10 the new idea that obtains
at Delaware College and were liberal in
/ their attitude toward all that we asked
/ for. The mistake we made we did not
ask for enough. We did not foresee the
added expenses incident 10 war that we
have been subjected 10 during the past
wear. All our supplies, notably coal,
have advanced beyond figures antici-

/ year with a deficit
"Our policy has been 10 make every
/ citizen Of Delaware feel that he Is 9
partner IN this enterprise. We have
nothing 20 conceal and we have tried
through our treasurer's report, TO make
our financial statement clear TO every
one. and the quality Of the work anc
our methods Of work arc open TO the
Inspection Of every citizen. Under oul
new development. agriculture has beer
given frst place, and with entire JUS
tlce. for ] believe that, due TO our en-
vlronment. agriculture must. Of neces
sitv. occupy the most prominent place
in our educational program, but tn
rapid development Of the river from
industries Of Wilmington has called {
our attention the necessity Of strength
ening our engineering department
There is no reason why. under Deal
! ICullimore's leadership, we cannot FUR
nlsh in part. the necessary men fo
these Wilmington industries that ar
now being drawn from Cornell ste
vens and Massachusetts, Institute o
Technology. and 70 would seem wise
even now. TO begin 10 plan for a large
development for this department. Tn
demand is immediate and impellins
for trained engineering minds as al
rect contribution toward winning th'
war. and Delaware College has an op
nortunity to participate in a larger way
than she Is doing today.
winning the war must be our pro
gram and take first place in our curri
u culum. Today. shipbuildine ordnance
