Term.-RegistratiOn Growing
According to advance reports from
Dean George E. DuttOn, University
of Delaware, more than 200 freshmen
will likely be enrolled in this years
class. Eighty-seven have already
been admitted to Delaware College
and seventy-eight at the Women's
College. Registration for freshmen
will be Friday, September 21, from
$50 a. m. to II o'clock, standard time
Those who fail to register at that
time will be fined for hardness. The
application and credits Of all the 81
mentioned have been approved. In
addition there are about 10 applicants
for admission to Delaware College
whose credits have not as yet been
passed on by the committee on ad-
mission. There are always a fairly
good percentage of the freshmen who
do not register until the final day so
it would seem safe to predict that the
freshmen class at Delaware College
will be considerable over 100. Of the
81 now enrolled at Delaware College
nearly half of them or to be exact 36
are Wilmington boys. There are 16
from rural New Castle County, IA
from Kent, Is from Sussex and only
6 from out of the State. Of the to-
tai 40 of the 81 have enrolled for the
arts and science course, 38 for engi-
neering, for agriculture and have
not specified the course they will take.
Convocation exercises will be held at
the University 8 o'clock Friday after
noon, September 81. The exercises
will be held on the campus in front
of Old College if the weather is clear
and if raining, inside The speaker
will be announced later. Entrance
examinations in English and French
for high school graduates will be held
Thursday afternoon, September 90.
Re-examinations for students having
conditions will be held September Is,
10 and 20. Dean DuttOn has been in
charge of the registration work at
Delaware College and is acting presi-
dent in the absence of DR.. Walter
Hullihen, president, who is in Europe.
DR.. Hullihen is expected back early
next month. Miss Gertrude c. Sturg-
es, secretary to Dean Winifred and
Miss Edwina Long, assistant to the
business administrator, are in charge
of the registration at the Women's
College in Dean Robinson's absence
Dean Robinson is also in Europe but
is expected to be at the college By
September or 8. OF the 78 new
students registered at the Women
College just half of them or 80 havt
enrolled for the two year teaching
training course. The last Legislature
provided for 60 scholarships for thi
twO-year course but the State Boar
, of Education has not awarded all o
the scholarships to date. 1t is eX
{ pected that most of the 80 alread
? | enrolled will receive these scholar
; ships. Work is progressing on tn
1 temporary dormitOry at the Women
College provided by the DelawaT
a School Auxiliary. 1t will be con
0 pleted by the time college opens an
h will care for p students. Had M
t the Delaware School Auxiliary com
d to the aid of the college at least 2
e young women students would probal
f ly have been turned away because
y lack of dormitory room. This is IL
= second time the Auxiliary has con
s to the aid of the college in this r
