RECORD CLASS AT DELAWARE
125 Girls Apply To Enter WOmen's
College ard 100 at Mems College

With prospects of joint entering |

arrangements are being made for the
reopening of the University of Della

indications are that both Delaware
College and the WOmen's College will
have the largest Freshmen class in
the history of the University. Dean
George +. Dutton, reports that from
80 to 100 Freshmen have made APP
plications for entrance to Delaware
College. AS there are always large

Freshman class in this college may
/ reach 1875 or more. Dean Winifred j.
Robinson, of the Women's. College
who recently returned from trip to
France is busy with the plans for re-
opening that college. Dean Robinson
reports that 125 young women have
already enrolled for the Freshman
class and that waiting list has been
established as it will be impossible to
care for many more than that num-
Der of first year girls in addition to
the other students. With a Fresh
man class of 1875 it would make a to-
tai enrolment at the Women's College
of about 275. OF the 125 new stu
dents about 60 will take the two-year
teacher training course the state pro-
viding scholarships for that number
The Women'S College will again be
over-crowded especially as to dOrml-
tory room and the dining hall. Bids
