DR.. Hullihen, president of the Uni
versity, in his report joins with sew
eral committees of the board in
| recommending the establishing of
pasteurizing plant at the College
Farm for the furnishing of milk for
consumption at the University only,
and not in any way for commercial
purposes. These recommendations
will no doubt be carried out under the
direction of the board and the plant
established. DR.. Hullihen's report
which also goes into details as to the
library pIoJecI lolioWS'
"The Committee on Agriculture,
the Committee on Finance, and the
Executive Committee have recon-
mended 10th eBoard a plan for es-
tablishing a small pasteurizing plant
at the College Farm. The plant will
be used only for the pasteurizing of
the milk of the farm and for instruc-
tional purposes in the School of Ag-
riculture. The cost of operation and
amortization of the cost of establish
ment will be borne by the college
commons in both colleges which will
pay two cents more per quart for
the milk supplied by the farm.
"The prevalence of typhoid fever
in Newark during the past few
months, which is said by the local
health authorities to have been traced
to milk, has made the pasteurizaing
Of the farm milk seem advisable, not
because there is any reason to believe
that the farm milk is likely at any
time to become contaminated but in
order to- assure parents that every
possible precaution is taken by the
University to prevent sickness
through conditions over which it has
control.
at is a matter of congratulation
that while there have been eight or
nine cases of typhoid and many more
of scarlet fever in Newark this win
ter, up to this time there has been
no case Of either disease in the stu
dent body of the University.
"The committee on finance and the
executive committee have recommend
ed to the board that campaign for
funds for the erection and mainten-
ance of new library be authorized
but that the Inauguration of such a
campaign be postponed until economic
conditions are better. The need of a
library adequate for the size of the
present student body and faculty, and
for the kind of study and research
which are an essential part of every
modern college or university, cannot
be too strongly urged. Without
vastly better library than we now
have we may well despair of the fu-
ture fthis institution. 1t can never
do the work that it should do, it can
never hope to give the service to COM
munity, State and nation, without an
adequate library, which it could give
with one. 1t cannot hope to attain
ture of this institution. 1t can never
it ought to occupy nor the usefulness,
of which it is capable, unless it be
given the tools indispensable to scho-
arship.
"The plan for campaign should,
therefore be pushed forward with the
utmost energy and enthusiasm, SO
that it may be possible to launch the
undertaking whenever in the judp-
ment of the board it may seem ad
visable to do so.
"Without giving in detail the plan
as elaborated up to this time by the
committee on buildings and grounds,
it will perhaps be well that the board
announce at this time it's intention to
launch such campaign and to ask
the people of Delaware to make the
new library the States memorial to
all citizens of Delaware who lost their
lives in the great war. The Cover.
nor of the State, the State Superin-
tendent of Public instruction, and
other prominent officials and citizens
have endorsed the idea"
