DR.. Hullihen referred to the librar,

campaign as follows:
az do not need to tell either stu
dents or faculty of the need of a libra
ry building. The sad, dilapidated, in
adequate old building staring you in
the face as you sit there is a mute,
inglorious witness to the fact that |
speaks louder than words. l do not |
need to tell you that many of the
books you need are not to be found
there-that those that can be found |
there are difficult to read in badly |
lighted, poorly ventilated, crowded
ROOM"
DIR. Hullihen said 500 volumes were
stored in the basement of Recitation
Hall because of lack of space.
81 do not need to speak to you of
the joy and pride we shall feel in
having on our campus modern, well
equipped library erected as a me-
mortal to sons of Delaware who laid
down their lives in the great war"
he added. "But ! do want to impress
upon students and faculty the impor
lance of our college campaign. We
must all throw ourselves with the ut
most enthusiasm into this work-the
greatest undertaking by students and
alumni in the history Of the institu-
ton and the most important event
since the splendid gift of Walter Hall,
Wolf Hall and the adjacent campus
to the University. We must subscribe
as generously as our means will per-
NIT for a campaign is to precede the
general state wide campaign-for the
sake of it's effect upon persons out
side the University Committee. The
University drive is the keystone in the
arch of this great enterprise"
Henry B. Thompson, president of
the Board of Trustees, who is also a
member of the Board of Trustees of
Princeton University, introduced Pres
ident Hibben, of Princeton. He said
he had been trying for some time to
get DR.. Hibben here to see what Della
ware is doing along educational lines.
i DR.. Hibben in his Introductory re-
marks commended the work Mr..
Thompson is doing for education as
member of the boards of two uni
versities. He quoted the following
inscription in a great library in Chi
ago: He is not dead who giveth to
knowledge" as something for the
students to remember. DR.. Hibben
was complimentary in his remarks
T. relative to the local University and
said he believed the development of
the University in recent years is the
beginning of the Development of
greater things for the future. Co.
E operation of the students, faculty and
all concerned, he said, is necessary
to get all out of education possible.
DR.. Hibben discussed the develop
= ing of intellectual vigor, and with
that character. Speaking to the stu
dents he said: "Your success depends
on your own exertions. 1t depends
on continuous work throughout your
entire course"
! He urged students to broaden their
G education. Learn something more
:, than the slavish following of techni-
y calities, he said, and equalize their
c training. He. told them that they
+ would not only be known after they
leave college for their particular pro-
-, lession but would be known as men
and women, and what kind of men
!, and women will be more important
+ than what profession or vocation they
r follow.
= Seek to the heart of things, get to
r the bottom of things, the speaker adj
t vised. The vigor of intellect, he said
S should be extended into all fields of
e knowledge. He urged that the stu
Il dents should cultivate other interests
+ and sympathies in addition to then
: vocation and, in cultivating intellec,
tual vigor force of character should
be considered. In concluding DR.. Hib.
: ben spoke of the responsibilities OF
the young men and women of today
as to the future, the years of peace
he said, the years of testing and pos.
sfbly the years Of war.

DR.. Hibben, and was the signal fol
prolonged applause.
