SONS OF DELAWARE
ENJOY ANNUAL
SPRING OUTING
(Cointinued from Page y

To show their appreciation OF
the excellent service rendered. by
the ladies, the Sons of Delaware
expressed their desire to make up
a purse for whatever cause should
be suggested by them. 1t was
voted to give this fund to the New
Century Club, and the purse of
nearly $100 made a substantial
addition to the treasury.
Dean McCleanahan Raps Bonus
Plan
Dean Howard McClenahan of
Princeton university was the
principal speaker at the banquet.
He called attention to the fact
that his mother was born in
Smyrna and that his father attend
ed Delaware College when that in
stitution was in it's infancy. He
related briefly the proud history
of the state and paid eloquent tri-
butte to the American soldier. In
a mastery analysis of the present
unrest and the necessity of apply
ing to the problem of read5ust-
ment, the lessons learned from
the war, he raped the bonus plan
for soldiers and scored in no un-
certain terms the officers who are
encouraging the men in the move
ment. 1t is an insult, to the men,
he said, to suggest that the paltry
sum of 500 or $500 will repay
them for the service rendered us
in the great conflict. The scheme,
he declared, is being used as 6.
political football to get the votes
of the service men.
In conclusion he urged the need
of making this country place of
equal opportunity. "The matter
of equal ability is in the hands of
the Almighty" Unselfishness and
a mutual attempt to understand
each other, but most of all "a re-
vival of the true religion-and be.
lief in Almighty God," are the
things most needed to settle the
so-called unrest.
Governor Lauds Work Of Della
wareanS
Govor,7.r Iownson,. was LIE
first speaker. He extended hear.
ty invitation to Delaware's Sons
to come back home any time they
desire. A special invitation tc
ones own freside is never neces
sary. He paid a high tribute tc
Pierre S. DUPONT for what he has
done and is now doing for the
schools of the state and for Della
ware College. He lauded alst
General T. Coleman dupont fol
what he has done in the interes-
of good roads. He jokingly re
marked that he recently though
he would take a trip to Chicago
but because he was born in Mary
land, a majority of the people Of
Sussex county did not care to sent
him.
DR.. Mitchell in a few remarks
said the visit of fthe Delaware Son'
had always been an inspiration tt
everyone at the college. He. sait
while he will soon leave the stat'
his sympathies and affections viii
abide here. He referred to th'
comprehensive plans for the devel
opment of Delaware College ant
said he was sure they would b.
carried out.
DR.. w. Owen Sypherd, Dea,
Winifred J. Robinson, and Rev. W
E. P. Haas of Philadelphia wer
among others who made few re
marks. The latter said what i
needed most at this time is tn
kind of religion that one can tax
to their office and their busines
wherever it might be with them.
