,ne affection Of the State, as evidenced
by collections Of paintings, statuary
and history
The Library, occupying 50 conspicu-
Gus a site, should be amply large to
provide for the future growth OF, these
two colleges for century or more. We
can have several dormltories, but the
structural plan for the development Of
the Colleges makes provision FOR only
one Library.
Campaign for Funds.
with the increased number Of stu
dents, the College faced in September
the necessity Of having some additional
t.tchers, or raising the salaries Of the
present staff 20 enable them to live, and
and 10 help out IN engineering. To
meet this situation three conferences OF
citizens were held in Wilmington, and
it was decided TO appoint a committee
to raise 100000 TO tide the Colleges
over 70. two years, until permanent en-
d0Wmcnt could be secured TO provide
for the growth Of the institution. The
response TO this appeal has brought IN

be raised the sum Of 500, ,722s0 The
thanks OF every friend Of education is
due 10 the men and women who sprang
10 the help Of the College In this way
al time Of need as we'll as 10 the Com
mlttees, which worked SO unselilshly
FOR this cause. These committees were
as follows:

in this canvass the moral gains have
been even more significant than the
generous financial support. The Col

pansion.
Lectures IN Summer school
There was carried out In the Summer
School series Of lectures by eminent
mon and women through the kindness
OF the Service Citizens Of Delaware that
enriched the whOle-session and made II
memorable. Dr. Joseph II. Odell took a
personal interest in securing for the
College many Of these speakers, and
the inspiration Of their messages Is
felt today by thousands Of children IN
the schools Of the state
"The success Of this course demon
strates the noble use which a Lecture
Foundation at the College could fulnn
If such a Foundation should be estab-
lished. there could be delivered each
year series Of lectures by men emf
nent in their various fields Such lee
lures should furnish a forum for the
interpretation OF science, history, art,
government, md literature that would
form a permanent contribution 10 the
thought and scholarship OF America.
Financial ReparL
"The Financial Report for i9is-i9
marks an epoch In the business affairs
OF the College, and / wish 10 record
my gratitude 10 all Of those who had
a share in putting our finances in al
most 1nal order, especially to Mr..
Arthur G. Wilkinson. The value Of
such a report, clear, full, and inter-
pretative. will be appreciated by all Of
the people and viii serve as a model Of
excellence in many different spheres.
Every fact ia the finances Of the College |
Is laid open for the inspection Of the |
citizens by this report. The regular |
publication from year TO year OF so
plain a statement as 20 what use is |
made Of every dollar granted TO the !
College by the legislature or given by |
iar-seeing men and women will breed |
confidence and moral support
Conduct of Chapel by Mr.. Moore.
"Thc chapel exercises the present |
session have taken on new life and in
ieresi. under the direction Of Or. J. r. |
Moore. An orchestra was organized
by Dr. c. f. Miller, into which the stu
dents entered enthusiastically, under
the leadership Of Mr.. George Madden
4 cannot speak too highly OF the
spirit OF loyalty and cooperation that
has marked both the student body and
the faculty during the present session. !
The change from the excitement and |
confusion Of the war period Is that |
from darkness to daylight 10 Is a |
pleasure to add that practically all col |
leges seem TO have experienced this /
same happy change. As our students |
sprang TO arms at the call Of their /
country, so with the return Of peace
they have taken up the same spirit
OF earnestness' the task Of training
themselves for the larges, usefulness
in life.
"The willingness Of the faculty TO
give and take, their readiness 10 serve,
and their eageruess TO advance the
College IN every way, has been evi-
denced by the work Of the Publicity
Committee in the campaign for funds,
by the establishment Of the Faculty |
Club. and by the reinforcement given
to an student activities that make for
higher scholarships and a sounder col
lege life. The Faculty Club. which
has been beautifully furnished through
The kindness OF Mr.. II. Rodney sharp,
is the means Of heading up all OF these
cooperative influences i'm the college |
by intensifying fellowship.
