Dickinson College
Gets Handsome Gift

A gift of 100000 to Dickinson
College for its development pro-
gram has been made by DR.. c.
Scott Althouse, Reading, Pa, presi-
dent of the Althouse Chemical
Company and Dickinson trustee.
1t is the largest gift to the 1874
year-old college by an individual
in his lifetime.
Dr. William W. Edel, Dickinson
president, said the gift was speci-
fed for a new science building to
cost 100000. He said the college
will seek to match DR.. Althouse's
contribution with support from
alumni, industry and other sources.
Ground will be broken next June.
The donor is widely known tex
tile researcher and industrialist
who has made other gifts to Dick
inson. In 1851, DIR. Althouse en-
dowed a professorship in the de-
partment of chemistry which the
college named for him in recogni-
tion of his achievements in the
textile industry.
The new building will house the
chemistry department and perhaps
other science departments, said
George Shuman, Jr., financial vice
president and development direc-
tor 1t will be the second new
structure in a program authorized
by the trustees in 1854 calling for
three buildings. A 100000 dormi-
tory, the first of the structures
was opened a year ago. The third
will be a student activities-audi-
torium building, said Shuman.

captain in 1881. He became super
intendent of what was then the
County highway police, serving in
that office until the system was
changed.
In 1888, Mr.. Leach ran for the
General Assembly from the First
Representative District and won,
taking a seat in the 1889 session.
After this session he became tax
collector for the Southern District
of Wilmington in December, 1912,
was appointed by City Council to
the office OF superintendent of the
city incinerator
During these years Mr.. Leach
was active in the Second Ward and
became chairman of the wards Re-
publican Committee. In 1949 he was
elected by City Council to the office
of delinquent license collector, a
job he continues to hold. From the
craftsmanship of the Second Ward,
Mr.. Leach moved on to a similar
position in the Ninth Ward. In De-
cember, 1916, he was elected city
chairman, and approximately eight
years later, in May, 1854, he was
elected county chairman.
A broad knowledge of politics,
an easy disposition, and a bow to-
ward the liberal elements of the
Republican Party have marked Mr..
Leach's rise. Among Republican
leaders he has, perhaps, the widest
friendship in the ranks of organized
labor. AS Levy Court commission
er he has acted consistently to
benefit labor in the letting of con-
tracts. He has been firm about the
need for a state labor department
and was bitter when the 1858 Gen
eraI Assembly, with Republican
majorities in both houses, refused
to create such an agency.
County and city employees have
found Mr.. Leach on their side in
moves for increased compensation.
During his years in the Levy Court
he helped to develop a job evalua-
tion schedule carrying higher pay
and recognizing skills.
