LARGE FRESHMAN
CLASS AT U. OF D.
approximately Two Hundred Stud
ents Have Enrolled To Date At
Delaware University.
few FROM OUTSIDE STATES
The Number Who Will Enter From
Outside Delaware This Year
Smaller Than Usual.

Entrance classes at Delaware Col
lege and the Women's College of the
University of Delaware promise to be
even larger than last year. At Della
ware College 81 Freshmen have been
enrolled to date according to figures
| just given out by Dean George E. Dut-
ton and 78 new students have already
been enrolled at the Women's College.
This would indicate a Freshman class
at Delaware College of over 100 and
! between 80 and 100 at the Women's
/ College.
Registration day for Freshmen will
be Friday, September 21, from $3.50 to
II o'clock, standard time. Those who
register after this date will be subject
to fine for late registration. Dean
DuttOn urges that all students intend
ing to enter the University this fall
should send in their application and
credits at once so they may be passed
on by the committee on admission of
the faculty.
Dean Dutton makes the statement
that the enrolment at Delaware Col
lege of new students at the present
time is larger than it was at this time
last year. The applications and credits
Of all the 81 enrolled have been ap-
proved. 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
admission. There is always percent
age of the Freshmen who do not reg
lister until the final day so it would
seem safe to predict that the Fresh
men at Delaware College will be con-
siderable over 100.
Of the 81 now enrolled at Delaware
College nearly half of them or, to be
exact, SO, 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
total 40 of the 81 have enrolled for the
arts and science course; SO for engi-
neering; for agriculture, and have
not specified the course they will take.
Convocation exercises will be held
at the University at o'clock Friday
afternoon, 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, Sep
tember 20. This is a classification ex-
animation to determine what section
a student is best qualified for. A diplO-
ma from State high school is sufi-
cient to secure the entrance into the
to the applicant providing
be has the Is units required for en-
trance.
Re-examinations for students hav-
ing conditions will be held September
L8, 10 and 20.

Of the 78 new students registered at
he Women's College just half of them
II SO, have enrolled for the two year
eacher training course. The last leg
stature provided for 60 scholarships
or this course but the State Board of
Education has not awarded all of the
to date. 1t is expected
hat most of the 80 already enrolled
will receive these scholarships.

ry dormitory at the Women's College
rovided by the Delaware School Aux
liary. 1t will be completed by the time
ollege opens and will care for 21 stu
