NEWARK, June 13.-In her adj

Delaware yesterday afternoon Pro-
fessor Amy L. Reed, OF Vassar Col

Commencement" She explained her
title by saying that everyone. OF
course, understood the literal mean
ing Of the word. an occasion on
which the student ceased TO be in
the apprentice stage and com
menced" life with a new equipment
of maturity but that the meaning
she meant to emphasize was the
symbolic meaning. There are
reasons why. she said at just this
time in our social history. COM
mencements are especially import
ant and particularly commence
ments for women. They are as
great an occasion she said in the
intellectual life as the sacraments
of the church are in the religious
life.
Professor Reed took her audience
back over a hundred years to show
the impression that American women
at that time made on foreign trav-
elers to show how the ideals for
women have changed in recent
years Her education then was never
serious or continuous but this false
ideal had been changed. Womens
colleges and the colleges and uni
versities that admit women as
students. she said have had an i'm
mense part in bringing about this
These colleges
have demonstrated that a woman
can study and keep we'll; that she
can do lot more physical work
than she was formerly supposed TO
be able TO do; that her waist
measure ought to be some two in
ches larger than the fashionable
circumference in 1865 or even in
1885: that she can undertake a
liberal education without spelling

motherhood; that married or un-

Reed is important because II marks

One OF the most notable events
held in Port Penn in many years was
the celebration, last Saturday, by Mr.
and Mrs John II. Yearsley, Of their
golden wedding anniversary. It was
attended by many friends and ad-
mirers OF the happy pair.
The celebration originally had
been set for June 2, the correct date
Of the anniversary OF their marriage
a half-century ago, but a death in
the immediate family caused a post
ponement until Saturday.
Comparatively few residents OF
Port Penn still remain who knew
Mrs. Yearsley when, as Miss Sue
Lofland. Of Milton. Del, she became
the bride OF Mr.. Yearsley. Among
these few, however. are Samuel
Eaton, E. j. Zacheis. T. F. Eaton,
Frank Johnson. William Yearsley,
Miss NJ. d. Eaton. Mrs. G. p Moore,
william Fisher and, finally. r.
Young, who was the only surviving
colored man who greeted the bridal
pair fifty years ago.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Yearsley are
enjoying health. They were show
cred with gifts by relatives and ad-
miring friends. Among the presents
was a purse Of $50 in gold from the
family and friends.
Mr.. Yearsley was born IN the
house he now occupies. Children OF
the couple are: Rufus s. Yearsley
Delaware City; Frank B. Ysarsley,
Edward Yearsley, Mrs. T. d. Collins,
all residents Of Port Penn and Miss
Cora Yearsley, who resides with her
parents.
