THREE FROM SUSSEX ON COMMITTEE ON
CONSTITUTION AND APPOINTMENTS.

Sussex county is represented Dy
three members on the committee on
Constitution and Appointments, elect
ed by a mass meeting of the students
of the Delaware College Summer
School last week, held to form a Stu
dent Self-GOvernment Association. The
Committee consists of Miss Hattie

May Jones of Harrington, secretary;
Miss Edith Kelly, Seaford; Mrs. Maud
Reynolds, Clayton; Miss Alberta Wa
pies and Miss Namah Lank, Lewes;
Miss Marguerite Jackson, Harrington;
and Miss Addie Williams, Clayton.
This committee is framing a constitu-
tiOn which is adapted to the needs of
a student body much larger than that
of last summer, and which will pro-
vide for the government of the stu
dents by their own officers.
Miss Rich, dean of the Summer
School, in an interview regarding the
self-gOvernment scheme, said that the
object of the faculty is to impress up
on the students the fact that the Sum
mer School is their own. The faculty
are acting in an advisory capacity
during the period of organization, but
will take their hands off as soon as the
student appointments are ratified and
the student officers are ready to as
sumo responsibility Under the Stu
dent Council, or other general govern
ing organ, there will be local commit
tee from each of the dormitory groups
which will lay down the rules and plan
the social events that concern only
that group.
The second week of the session finds
the regular work in full swing and
the teachers catching the infectious
inspiration which results from the
great events occurring in the educa-
tional life of the State, such as the du-
Pont donation for the building of
school houses, which was first an
nounced from the platform of the
Summer School as being the educa-
tional center OF the State; from this
outlook, as well as from the
contact with distinguished visitors
whom the new program is bringing
