u 9TH Delaware College and the women's College OF
- Delaware are beckonlns to the young men and the
young women Of commonwealth and the surrounding
country TO go to them for higher education
The invitations should accepted because there never
has been time in world history when higher education
counted for much in the of success In life as
does today.
There is no valid why each Of the colleges
should not have enrolment OF at least students
There is no valid reason why the city Of Wilmington
rural New Castle county and Kent and Sussex counties
should not rush their young and young women to
Newark next fall
There IS valid reason why the two institutions
should not draw heavily upon the young manhood and
the young Of the nearby sections OF Mary
land, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
With an eflclent and popular. man like Dr. samuel
Chies Mitchell at the head OF Delaware Colleges with an
efficient and popular like Miss winlfred j. Rob-
inson at the head Of the Womens College OF Delaware
with the almost boundess generosity OF dupont
and the liberal educational policy Of the state giving
ample Of the future of the two colleges in the
matter OF grounds, buildings and equipment with the
scholastic and athletic records Of the institutions good in
all respects, it is only right and proper that drive be
made for heavy enrolment
That drive should be made Systematically and ener-
seucally In every community in which there is high
scnooi or young man or young woman who has the
educaton that Is prerequisite Of college enrolment
But all this drive work should not be put upon presi
ocnb Mtcheh and Dean Robinson. Neither should il be

IT Is Their duty to 90 to Newark to labor unremtnel
TO educate the parents OF young men afl vo,ng

possible for their children to go there
Now is the time to begin such a drive n sbo,,a
be kept until city and state and the nearby terri

women who eligible for entrance to the colleges in
Newark Those boy students defraying the expense
