Three temporary engineering buildings
are rising on the Green south of Harter
Hail. Permanent equipment of value will
be placed In these buildings. Much of the
new machinery for the teaching of electri-
cal and mechanical engineering has already
arrived and merely awaits installation.
This needed addition to the facilities for
teaching engineering was made possible
by a generous gift of about $4,000 by
Pierre s. du Point. As there are ITO
students enrolled In engineering the
present session, 1t was impossible to ac-
commodate them in Mechanical Hall.
+. Hence these three temporary structures
for engineering
The following students are helping to
erect these three buildings: ii. f. Zrm-
G. A. Nutter, r. A. Hoey, X. r. Price.
The catalogue for the present session
has just gone to press. 1t has been edited
by DR.. w. o. Sypherd. As the college
turns the fiftieth mule post since its re-
opening after the Civil War, this catalogue
will have historical significance of great
value. II Is expected it will include a
diagram of the development of the col
lege, setting forth the location of the
trecent buildings, arrangements of trees,
and the proposed sites of new buildings.
The area of the campus and Experiment
Farm now embrace about 300 acreu
stretching southwark along Station Road
from the Baltimore & Ohio Railway.
The trustees of Delaware have pre-
sented copies Of the Annual, called tbs
Blue Hen, to the four-year high school
of the State. Professor Berlin of the VII
mington high School and many other
principals have written IN a gratifying
way of the excellence of this publication.
The editor-in-chief was z. Bsyard Carter,
who has received appointment to the
Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford University,
England. MIR. Carter was ably assisted.
by staff of editors. The art work on the
Blue Hen was done by Alexander Blair
and has won commentator by reason of
its variety, suggestiveneSs, taste and time
illness. MIR Blair is a Senior and is the
chairman Of the student committee on
publicity.
The wireless outfit which the du Pont
Co. presented to the college will be IN
