Despite the unusually large fresh
man class at Delaware College Uni
versity of Delaware the classes for
the term were all organized without
any delay and the routine work for
the college year started. Some few
freshmen came in during the past
week which brought the total in this
college alone up to about 166. With
the several transfers from other col
| leges there are more than 10 new
students in Delaware College.
The new class at the Women's Col

Last week every student at the WO-
mems College was given a thorough
medical examination under the au-
spices of the State Board of Health
and with the assistance of the mem
bers of the physical education de-
partment of the college and physi-
clans and dentists of Newark and
Wilmington who volunteered their
services.
This examination is required be-
fore any student is allowed to take
part in any physical exercises. Where
any physical defects are found re-
port is made to the parents of the
student so that the family physician
can be called in.
A similar examination is made of
every student at Delaware College
by the military department.
1t has been decided not to open
the new gymnasium at the Women's
College for general use until the
start of the next term in the winter. |
By that time every detail in cOnnec-
ton with the gymnasium will have |
been completed
Every place on the faculty of the |
two colleges has been filled and the |
faces what is expected to |
be the most successful year in every !
respect in it's history. 1t is notice
able that students entering the col
lege from Delaware are better quail
fed each year as the standards of
the high schools are increased.
There is also no doubt that the gen
eral standard of the faculty is also
from time to time as sal
aries are gradually increased in an
effort to get them near the average
