MANY ALUMNI
PLAN RETURN TO
OLD DELAWARE
Promise College Stunts and
Other Features of
Interest

An Alumni reunion of the kind that
the poet had in mind when he penned
the lines, HAS any old fellow got
mixed with the boys?" is planned for
the first to be celebrated at the Uni
versity of Delaware. Enthusiastic re-
sponses have been received from great
numbers of the cold grads" who have
been asked to cooperate in making
this notable reunion.
1t is rumored that the Wilmington
Chapter, recently organized, will pull
off some stunts of their college days.
William M. Francis has entire charge
of the arrangement for the attendance
of the Wilmington Chapter and is
chairman of the entertainment COM
mittee. This fact in the light Of
Francis reputation for putting things
across, is sufficient guarantee that a
promised sensation will result in a
satisfying realization. J. D. Truxton,
of the New York Alumni Chapter, has
sent a glowing report of what may
be expected of the "Chicks" from that
little old burg; while the Philadelphia
Chapter threatens to belle the repu-
tation of that staid and somnolent
city. Much may therefore be expect
ed from the Quaker City delegation.
To the Wilmington delegation ma
turally the largest of the visiting
chapters, the alumni look for guild
ance in their support of University
policies. Their large membership and
their direct relationship through pro-
pinquity makes them to great extent
acknowledged leaders in alumni mat
tiers. This infant organization with
true Delaware spirit and loyalty has
fully justified the confidence thus
placed in them.
University President to be Only
Speaker
DR.. Walter Hullihen has been in.

In order to give him ample opportun,

other activities, no other speaker ha:
been provided. =
In furtherance of this arrange
ment, the fraternities have consented
to postpone their reunions one hour
The president will thus have ampl,
opportunity to present his plans ant
the Alumni will have sufficient time t.
discuss the part their organizatio,

The business meeting will be hel,

SELMA RoSELEA ALLEN


Mr.. J.. L. Allen and Mrs. Rosetta
Ghyta Allen mourn the loes of their
daughter, Selena Rosetta Allen, aged
four years, four months and twenty
four days.
Little Selena's life had been one of
unusual tribulation, due to an in
jury sustained at birth, which affect
ed her nervous system, interfering
in a marked degree with the proper
digestion of food.
The first year and a half, her little
life hung in balance; her digestive
organs being unable to assimilate the
most carefully selected diet.
Her last illness was the result of
an attack of acute Indigestion, fol-
lowed by breaking down of the ner-
vous system.
And then came the end-peacefuI.
sweet and apparently painless, at one
thirty o'clock Sunday morning, Feb.
18th, little Selena Allen terminated
her short, tempestuous voyage. SOL
we'd the great mystery, and passed
on over into the spirit-land beyond /;
mourned by her parents and friends,
but, remembered for a gentleness and
sweetness of disposition, as she
mingled with children at play, or ap-
pealingly sought the affection OF those
she loved; the recollection Of which
remains like the odor of a beautiful
flower, beaming with fragrance, yet
too frail to withstand the inclemen-
cies of this world.
