SMITHS LOYAL
To ALMA MATER
Subscribe 100 Per Cent to
College 100000 En-
dowment Fund
MRS. T. w. WILSON
RETURNS THANKS

Mrs. Thomas w. Wilson, chairman OF
Delaware for the si.0OO,0OO fund for
Smith College, announced today that
the Smith Alumnae OF Delaware had
subscribed 100 per cent TO the fund
Aside from the raising Of the $4,000
900. Smith College is desirous and
eager and proud Of having its grad
yates, 1900 strong, loyal and true In
their support OF the college.
Smith College considers this loyalty
an asset Of the greatest value and feels
that II there l. such spirit and loyalty
70 the college in its Alumnae, si00OO0O
or indeed, any amount Of money that
the college needs and that It's support
ers see that 10 needs, will be realized.
1T has been O great pleasure" Mrs.
Wilson said today"to work among
the Smith alumnae OF Delaware. At
the meetings OF the Central Committee
In Philadelphia and New York, plans
were discussed about convincing and
urging alumnae OF the college to con
tribute TO the fund Mrs. Wilson said
these discussions are OF no value or
use in our local work as the alumnac
in Delaware knows the need OF the col
lege from the literature which has
been sent out and II is simply a ques-
ton Of how much each one can pos
sibly give that the Delaware Smith
graduate asks OF herself and then finds
out from the chairman the conditions
OF payment, etc, requested by the col
lege. To work with an alHm1ae as
loyal and as understanding as this has,
indeed. been an honor and a privilege"
said Mrs Wilson.
When Smith College was founded in
1873 II had an enrolment Of fourteen |
students. II now has 20fi.
In this very FIRST class OF "a girls TO
graduate from Smith College In 1879 |
there was a girl from Delaware, Miss |
Mollie Adkins. Of Milford. Miss Adkins is |
now Mrs. r. NJ. Brown, and is living in !
doing secretarial work In
the very splendid Y. w. c. A. OF that
city. Mrs Brown sent a generous
contr button TO the Smith College fund
ard in letter TO Mrs. Thomas w. vii
son stated that she hoped TO return TO
Delaware In the near future, as she
says. "Dalaware IS becoming very in
teeesiing 10 me on account OF the fer
ment that Is going on there in ideas
important TO the good OF the State"
10 was a very great responsibility to
start college for women i5 years |
ago. There was much opposition TO /
the idea Of higher education for women. |
There was much prejudice against it. 1
li was suggested that it would make (
women less feminine and that n might .
undermine iheir health. President !
Seeley. who was the nrst president Of
smith College. and is today The dearly
beloved president emeritus OF the col
lege, can relate many amusing Incl
dents Of the pioneer work Of college
life for women
