At that time Dr. Lewis P. Bush was President of the Board, and George G. Evans, already a veteran in the service of the College, having been elected a member of the Board in 1856, was its Secretary. Mr. Hayes at once entered into the duties of his trust with characteristic zeal and intelligence and soon occupied a position of great influence in the counsels of the Board. From early boyhood he had revealed those traits of character that go to make up his personality and had exhibited a broad minded sympathy with every movement that looks towards the upbuilding of his fellow man. It was natural that he should early be entrusted with the working out of some of w wwa o D the difficult problems that confronted the Board of Trustees in the management of the affairs of the College. He was made Viee-President of the Board upon the election of Chief Justice Lore to succeed in the Presidency made vacant by the death of Dr. Bush. He has served on all the most im- portant committees of the Board, both permanent and spe- cial, in many cases as chairman, and has been most active in pushing all measures that promise the betterment of the College. By the force of his character and the wisdom of his counsels he has been enabled to fix the impress of his life upon the workings of the College and to determine its de- velopment upon broad and lasting foundations. Mr. Hayes thus describes his first connection with the College and his subsequent interest in the institution. In 1832 and 1833, then a lad of 16 years, he was a student of Newark Acad- emy under the rectorship of the Rev. A. K. Russell. As I remember, Newark College was built in 1833. I do not recall any formal ceremonies at its founding, such as laying the corner-stone, ete., but have a distinct recollection of the open trenches for the foundations; in fact while I was playing around them with other boys and making inquiries of the man in charge of the masonry, he handed me a brick and showed me where to place it in the corner of one of the trenches, saying that it would not be removed and that I could say I laid the first brick in the College building. I have often thought of this incident and it may have been one reason, though less important than many others, for the ac- tive interest I have always felt in the suecess of the College. Of the early struggles of the College while it was suffer- ing from the lack of students and resources, he says: At this time the attendance was small and the Trustees found great difficulty, with the small in- come at their command, to pay the necessary ex- penses. The salaries of professors were meager and the utmost economy was used in maintaining the College buildings. The Legislature was ap- pealed to for aid but at first responded very re- luctantly. It seemed to be hard to convinee the law makers that the College, as a State institution, ap- pealed strongly to their liberality and of right claimed justly their support; and that State pride should inspire them to deal generously by it in mak- ing appropriations. I took part in every movement of the kind, using my best efforts and all the influ- ence I could bring to bear in its behalf. As the number of students increased it was found abso- lutely necessary to have larger and better accom- modations. By a strenuous effort, including a visit to the College by the Legislature, the want of a larger building was made so apparent that a bill was passed giving the College an appropriation for the erection of Reeitation Hall 1890-92. Since then appropriations have been granted for enlarg- ing and remodeling the old Dormitory building and for workshops and a large gymnasium. In all pro- gressive matters in relation to improvements and to educational ingtruction I have taken an active part and as the chairman of the Committee on In- struction and Discipline and as a member of other important committees have for many years devoted a good deal of attention to the affairs of this insti- tution as well as to other subjects of general edu- cation. Mr. Hayes proceeds to tell of other activities in which he has been engaged for the education of the public: l was for sixteen years President of the Dover Library and by a personal vizit to the See- retary of the United States Treasury, obtained per- mission for the Library to use the fine suite of rooms on the second floor of the Post Office Build- ing at Dover. A few years ago the stockholders of this library transferred their stock gratuitously to the Dover Town Library, which now enjoys the free use of their books and other privileges. I de- clined an election to the Presidency, but was soon afterwards appointed by Governor Hunn a mem- ber of the State Library Commission and accepted the Presidency of the Board. T have taken an active interest in agriculture and was made corresponding secretary of the first State Agricultural Society in 1849, and continued to act in that capacity for more than thirty years, in the meantime making monthly reports on the condition of crops to the U. 8. Department of Agri- culture and maintaining a large correspondence with other agricultural institutions and progress- ive farmers. My report of the State Board of Ag- riculture of 1888-89, the first published, was es- teemed of general interest and highly valued by the farmers. The volume contains about five hun- 10 dred pages. The State paid for the printing and binding of thiz work, but was at no expense in compiling or editing the report. Such is one side of this useful life. No attempt has been made to represent him in his manysidedness, as a suc- cessful man of affairs, as an active citizen, or as a warm friend ever ready with advice and help for his neighbors. It iz enough to say that to know him is an inspiration to nobler thoughts and better deeds. Bold and fearless against wrong in any of its protean forme, yvet, with a gentleness almost womanly, he has led the way through many a trying hour, and in vietory with equal poise and centering, gave assurance that all the issues are worthy of the struggle. Safe in leadership, wise in counsel, and sane in purpose, he is truly and reverently the grand old man of the Board of the Trustees. 11 1SS S S S S e A e O o N offering this book to the publie, we wish to say that we have earnestly endeavored to portray undergraduate life at the College both in a seri- olis and in a frivolous aspect. It has required a great deal of work to publish this annual, im- perfect as it may seem in many details, and we sincerely hope that it will meet with vour favor. The board has realized from the beginning that it is incapable of producing such a book as it would desire; still, since the proposition was put before us we accepted it heartily, and now you have the results. The board wishes to thank the members of the faculty and stu- dent body for their kind assistance. If after reading this book vou find that it is not up to your expectations, try to . imagine a few of the ohstacles which we have had to deal with, of which not the least troublesome was the time taken necessarily from regular college work and devoted to its preparation.

Newark is connected with Philadelphia, Wilmington, Bal- timore and Washington by the Penn- sylvania, and Baltimore and Ohio Railroads, and there are few points in Delaware or in the Peninsular counties of Maryland distant from the village more than a few hours by rail. The region about Newark is one of the most healthful and beautiful on the Atlantic slope. The site of the College, near the center of the town, is one of unusual charm. The village has a supply of excellent water and is lighted by electricity. Delaware College was chartered in 1833 by Act of the Delaware Legislature, and the doors of the College were firat opened to students in May of the following year. The College had been doing for a quarter of a century an import- ant work, not only for Delaware, but as well for neighboring parts of Pennsylvania and Maryland, when by a succession of misfortunes she was forced in the spring of 1859 to close her doors. Eleven vears later the College was resuscitated, having meanwhile been designated by Act of the Delaware Legisla- ture as beneficiary under the Aect of Congress apportioning to each of the several States large areas of public lands to form the basis of endowments for colleges especially de- voted to the teaching of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts, and Military Tactics. This Act of Congress, commonly known as the Morrill Bill, from its originator, Senator Morrill of Vermont, declares that the colleges made bene- ficlary under its provisions shall have as their leading ob- ject, without excluding other scientific and classical studies and including Military Tacties, to teach such branches of learning as are related to Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life. In consideration of the designa- tion and establishment of Delaware College as the institu- tion to be provided by the State of Delaware in accordance i with the provisions of the Act of Congress in question, a joint and equal interest in the grounds, buildings, libraries and vested funds of the College proper was conveyed to the State of Delaware, and equal representation upon the Board of Trustees was given the State, The Board of Trustees consists of fifteen members, rep- resenting the original Board, and fifteen members on the part of the State appointed by the Governor, five from each of the three counties. The Governor of the State and the President of the College are members ex-officio. In 1888, by Act of the Delaware Legislature, the Dela- ware College Agricultural Experiment Station was estab- lished as a department of the College under the provisions of an Act of Congress approved March 2, 1887, commonly known as the Hatch Bill, appropriating $15,000 annually for the purpose of acquiring and diffusing among the people of the United States useful and praectical information on the subjects connected with agriculture and to promote seientifie investigation and experiment respecting the prin- ciples and applications of Agricultural Science under direc- tion of the college or colleges established in each of the States and Territories in accordance with the provisions of the Morrill Bill. The Adams Bill, approved March 16, 1906, appro- priating $5,000 for the first year and increasing this amount by $2,000 a year until it eventually reaches $15,000, makes possible the still further expansion of the work of the Ex- periment Station along lines set down by the law for the de- velopment of Agricultural Seience by means of research and experiment. Delaware College is beneficiary also under a further Act of Congress, known as the New Morrill Bill, approved August 20, 1890, which appropriated for the year then cur- rent $15,000 to each State for the Land Grant Colleges and provided for the inerease of the appropriation by $1,000 each year until it should reach $25,000 a year. Delaware College receives annually four-fifths of this appropriation, one-fifth, in accordance with the provisions of the bill, being applied to the maintenance and support of the College at Dover for the education of colored students. This Act was supplemented by the passage of the Nel- son Bill, approved March 4, 1907, providing for an appro- priation of $5,000 for the year ending June 30, 1908, and a subsequent annual increase in appropriation of $56,000 until it reaches $25,000, thus making an annual income of $50- 000 from the national government. Delaware College will 19 receive four-fifths of this amount annually, the rest going to the college for the colored race at Dover. The appropriations provided for in this Act are to be applied to instruction in Agriculture, the Mechanic Arts, the English Language and the various branches of mathe- matical, physical, natural and economiec sciences with special reference to their applications in the industries of life, am:l to the facilities for such instruction. THE GYMNMASLITIM Stimulated by the increased income provided by these recent Acts, Delaware College has, within the past few years, enlarged her corps of instructors and greatly in- creased her equipment of apparatus and appliances, so that she iz now vastly better enabled than ever before in her whole history to perform her appointed duty, 20 The buildings of the College, situated in an ample and beautiful campus, shaded by trees as old as the institution itself, consist of the recently improved Dormitory, a large brick structure originally the sole College building for all purposes and still occupied, not only for lodgings, but alzo for laboratories, the old library, the literary societies and recitation rooms; Recitation Hall, a handsome brick build- ing erected by the State in 1891; the wood-working and machine shop, where are housed machinery and apparatus for a thorough practical course of instruction in the me- chanic arts; the Gymnasium, which is admirably fitted for its purpose. : The Experiment Station, which contains the offices, 1i- braries and laboratories of the station workers, occupies a building on the College grounds. The station hasg also a green-house, with laboratory adjoining, in the rear campus, and several buildings used for storage and other purposes in the conduct of the various lines of experimental work. The Legislature of 1903 appropriated $15,000, payable in two eqgual annual installments, and the workshopa have been greatly enlarged and are now entirely adeguate for the present needs of the College. The first floor is equipped with wood-working and iron-working machinery and on the sec- ond floor are found large drafting-rooms and laboratories. The sum of $25,000 appropriated by the Delaware Leg- islature in the year 1901 for rebuilding and repairs at Dela- ware College, was expended mainly in repairing and enlarg- ing the dormitory. The building was replastered through- out, and the floors were made secure by the introduction of new timbers. The sleeping rooms were made comfortable and attractive, and the Oratory was remodeled and redeco- 21 rated so that it is now one of the handsomest auditoriums in the State. New fronts, corresponding in style with the Doric portico of the main entrance, were placed on the wings, and at right angles to the wings and parallel to the main structure were built three-story extensions. These im- provements have increased the number of sleeping rooms, and furnished handsome apartments for recitation rooms and laboratories. The appropriation of $15,000 which was made by the Legislature of Delaware over a year ago has been applied to the building of a Drill Hall and Gymnasium. In the base- ment of the building will be found shower baths, plunge baths and lockers for the use of the students. Provision has been made for a swimming pool, which we hope will soon be completed. The main floor will serve as a drill hall and gymnasium, At the last sesgion of the Legislature of Delaware a hill was passed authorizing a commission to apply twenty thous- and dollars to the purchase and equipment of a farm to be managed and conducted by the Board of Trustees of Dela- ware College at Newark, for experimental purposes in pro- viding efficient instruction in Agriculture and in conducting investigations and original research in connection with the Experiment Station established as a department of the Col- lege. A farm of 217 acres, lying a mile south of the Col- lege, has been bought. It is most attractively situated and furnishes excellent means for practical instruction in Agri- culture. The College buildings are heated by steam and lighted by electricity and are supplied with water by the town water works. 22 A considerable part of the rear campus is occupied as an athletic field, which affords excellent facilities for out- door sports and games. Tuition iz free to all students from the State of Dela- ware, so that the College eonstitutes a part of our system of free public instruction. She places within reach of the yvoung men of the State a thorough collegiate training with no other cost than that of living and the provision of neces- sary books and a few inconsiderable fees to cover expenses incurred by the institution. Her work iz laid out upon broad lines, and the eulture of liberal learning and the prac- tical usefulness of the applied sciences are equally empha- sized in her scheme of education. While, in pursuance of the special aims of her organization, stress is laid upon those de- partments which build up good citizenship and useful man- hood, the place so wisely provided in the foundation of the Land Grant Colleges is given to the refining graces and amenities of the older learning. 23 CORPORATION BOARD OF TRUSTEES., Hiz Excellency, GOVERNOR PRESTON LEA, ex-officio, GEQ.

Evans had been so long and so honorably connected with the management of Delaware College as a member of the Board of Trustees that the tidings of his death came with a distinet shock to everyone when it was announced at the opening of the College in 1904 that he had just passed away. He had been identified with the College for so many years in its struggles and growth that it was hard to realize that he was no more. He was born June 1, 1815, and died September 16, 1904, having lived and worked all but a few years in early man- hood hard by the shades of the old campus. During his early vears he served as a clerk to a merchant in Baltimore and there learned the principles and the habits which make for success in commercial enterprises. He returned to New- ark and at once entered upon a career of prosperity char- acterized by honest and straightforward dealing. He knew the struggles of the College and, in 1856, when he was elec- ted a member of the Governing Board, he became its Secre- tary. In a few years afterwards the College was closed, owing to the unsettled condition along the border due to the approaching conflict of the North and South. He was very active in having the College reorganized after the close of the war, and was largely instrumental in having it made beneficiary of the Land Script Act of 1862 by virtue of which it was enabled to offer richer courses of study than ever be- fore in its history. He was chosen Treasurer of the Board of Trustees in 1870 and held the joint offices of Secretary and Treasurer until 1896, when, feeling the infirmities of his vears, he asked to be relieved from the arduous duties of the dual position. His son. Charles B, Evans, Esq., was elected Secretary and Treasurer of the Board and still holds the position which he and his father have so long ably filled. Mr, Evans up to the last occupied a place on the Com- mittee on Instruction and Discipline and the Prudential Committee, and, besides these permanent committees, served on numerous special committees that were appointed from time to time as the affairs of the College demanded them. Mr. Evans brought into the Board of Trustees ripe business training and energetic habits which, combined with a mas- terful personality, won the confidence of his fellows and en- abled him to guide and direct the affairs of the institution to the end he aimed at. By his astuteness and uprightness, by his probity and fearlessness he managed the affairs of the College in times when everything looked discouraging and brought it safely into its present condition of enlarged prop- erty and wide usefulness. He displayed the same indomi- table energy in the work of the institution he so much loved as he used in his private business and out of the wealth of his wisdom he gave his best. He was a kind father, an active citizen and a good neighbor. His memory will be ever cherished as the Nestor of the Board of Trustees of Delaware College. MR. JAMES HOSSINGER On June 20th, 1882, four members were elected to the old College Board. Of these Dr. Peter D. Keyser, of Phila- delphia, died in the spring of 1897, while Mr. Hayes and Dr. Kollock are still serving the College with the vigor of their matured powers. Death claimed the fourth when, after a short illness following a prolonged period of wealness, Mr. James Hos- ginger laid down the burden of his busy life, December 3, 1906, Born May 14, 1838, in the neighborhood of Newark, he was prepared for College at the Newark Academy, and in the fall of 1852 he entered the Freshman class of this insti- tution. In due time he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, having completed the studies of the Classi- cal course with much eredit to himself and to his teachers. A very companionable man, he made many warm friend- zhips while at College, and he treasured them to the last. Immediately upon graduation he entered upon the ae- tive duties of life and became very much interested in scien- tific and practical agriculture. After suecessfully managing his farms for years he retired from actively carrying on their operations and in 1887 he came to Newark to live, not losing however his fondness for out-door life. He conducted, among other enterprizses, the agency for the Chester County 29 ME. JAMBES HOSSTNGRRE. Mutual Insurance Company and served as Director of the National Bank of Newark, of which institution he was the President some vears before his death. In 1881 he was elected a Trustee of the Newark Academy and was the Sec- retary and Treasurer of the Board from that time until his death. As a member of the College Board he was Chairman of the Agricultural Committee for a number of years and a member of the Prudential Committee and the Committee on Instruction and Discipline. He there showed his fine sense of the needs of the College and his good judgment in direct- ing its operations along lines of safety and sanity. He was a warm-hearted friend, a good citizen, a loving husband and father. As a loyal son, he gave of his best to Delaware College, 81 Almni Assoriation RARAARNRNARARNARA E: D HBARHE, B0 v i e e President J08.

Dr. Harter was born near Leitersburg, Washington County, Maryland, November 7, 1853, He received his early education in the county schools and the Normal School at Lebanon, Ohio. In the fall of 1874 he entered the Fresh- man class at St. John's College and was graduated in 1878. Immediately after graduation he was made Assistant Pro- fessor of Latin and Mathematies. During the ecollegiate vear, 1878-1879, he pursued a graduate course in early Eng- lish, ete., with Dr, Garrett and Dr. Hopkins, and in mathe- matics with Professor Johnson. From St. John's Mr. Har- ter received also the degrees of M. A, and Ph. D. In 1880 he was elected Principal of the Hagerstown High School at Hagerstown, Maryland, where he labored successfully for five wvears. In 1885 he was elected to the chair of Mathe- maties and Modern Languages in Delaware College. From 1888 till 1896 he was Professor of Mathematics and Physics. On the rezignation of Dr. Raub in 1896 he was called to the Presidency. During his incumbency of twelve years the College has had a very satisfactory growth. It is owing in a large measure to his wise administration that our State Col- lege holds its present position of honor, dignity and great usefulness. a4 THE FACULTY 9 Lyyd THEODORE R. WOLF, M.

Whether this history of the only elass of the twentieth cen- tury is a good one, it is for you to judge, but anyway it will be a brief story. Our tale starts with thirty-eight freshmen at Delaware Caollege in the fall of 1904, Up to this time we had never heard of one another, but when the trouble-seeking Sophs were turned loose on us the first morning of college, let me whisper to you we were not long in getting acquainted. We were not at all anxious either to break that old saying, Birds of a feather flock together, for we soon found out that there was safety in numbers, Our first deed worthy of mention was the defeat of the Sophs in the annual class rush. But this vietory did not make us conceited, because we realized that we were Fresh- men, and tried to do only things worthy of Freshmen. We elected Charles R. Brown president for the first term, and he filled the office with the dignity of a Senior. We soon became very enthusiastic about foot-hall, as all Freshmen are. Although we could furnish but two players, J. Frank Baldwin and J. Baker Taylor, for the Varsity, yet the fine work done by our men on the serub cannot be too highly commended. After doing our best for the Varsity team, we tried to stand alone and defeat the Sophs, but after forty minutes of hard play we were beaten by the honorable score of 6 to O. We came back the second term well versed in college duty and life, especially the life. Homer W. Collins was elected president for the rest of the year. Our next branch of athletics was track work. Here we were able to furnish two runners, J. Frank Baldwin and Homer W. Collins, out of the four to represent 0ld Delaware at the Penn meet. Our Freshman baseball men were out working early in the spring, and before the season was over our team had played many snappy games. We bluffed the Sophomore delegation, and supplied a third baseman for the Varsity in the person of J. Baker Taylor. We won the an- nual meet at commencement time, an honor which has never before or since been won by a Freshman class at Delaware. Baldwin, Collins, Sibley, Ward and Newman were the chief participants. But we would have you know that we were not only strong in athletics, but in other college work as well. Clar- ence Killen not only represented us in the inter-society de- bate, but alzo reeceived honorable mention from the judges. Then again we furnished an abundance of good material to the literary societies. We returned in September, 1905, with twenty-six jolly Sophomores, joined by four mew students., Of eourse the first thing to do was to get busy and defeat the Freshmen, which we did in quick order. Then we tried to teach them a few things, and since they were a very apt class, they soon caught on and were not at all troublesome the rest of the year. We chose William Draper as president, and being a quiet fellow, he was just the man for the place during our troublesome Sophomore year. We elected Taylor captain of our class foot ball team and trimmed the Freshmen to the tune of 11 to 0. We had many men on the Varsity foot ball team this year who were a great help in winning so many Fames, We elected Taylor eaptain of our class foot ball team and trimmed the Freshmen to the tune of 11 to 0. We had many men on the Varsity foot ball team this year who were a great help in winning 80 many games, The whaole class was getting along finely in their studies and everyone was doing good work, until Dr. Wolf got busy and flunked our entire class in chemistry. But the way we went after that re-exam satisfied him that we knew just as much about it as any other class he had passed. One of the great accomplishments this year was to win the class championghip in base ball. This entitled us to have our numerals put on the cup offered by the faculty, which honor every class strives for four years to gain. The greatest pleasure of this year, however, was the end of it, because our Sophomore year was worriment all the way through. If we had had the Freshmen only to contend with 131 we would have been all right, but the '07 class was still sore at the way we had trimmed them, and were constantly hutting in, making it very dizagreeable, since we had to keep Juniors as well as Freshmen in line. We came back the following fall proud to be upper class- men. J. Baker Taylor was chosen president for the year. After doing our best for the foot ball team we proceeded to make plans for our one great object of the year, our Ju- nior Prom. The dance came off in February and was a great success. We had by this time reached a literary period and Harry A. Miller, Jr., flooded the college paper with stories and poetry. This year we made a great fight for the annual track meet, but lost out by a few points. The com- mencement danee with all its aplendor marked the end of our happy and prosperous year. Then for the last fall we came back to Old Delaware to take up our college work. We had reached the position of Seniors. We were only nineteen strong, comparatively few but very select, according to the way the faculty had cut our number down from forty-two. We elected J. Earl Newman president. With our men as captaing and managers we endeavored to raise the athletic standard of the college, which we have done with a marked success, as we now have athletic rela- tion with the leading colleges in the North as well as in the South. Thus we see that the elass of 1908 has always been com- posed of loyal members, each interested in all class affairs, and actively favoring any movement for the benefit of Old Delaware.

THE CLASS OF 10404, -2 19 : HE expectations which were raised on Sep- tember 18, 1905, by the formation of a new body, the class of 1909, have to the present time been more than realized. The fighting spirit, displayed that day in the face of great odds, has stayed with us and has been responsible for many a win- out against even more formidable combinations than the 1908 aggregation. On that day we were overwhelmed by superior numbers but our spirit remained unbroken and made itself felt later, when in a wild, reckless flight of imagination, the Sophomoeres thought to secure a snapshot of MelIntyre, cased for shipment in a barrel like so0 many hundredweight of freight. But that picture failed to de- velop and the grass is just now beginning to grow again on the front campus where we gently made known our wishes in the matter. Realizing the ineffectiveness of conspicuously painting up numerals, and then being obliged just as ignominiously Tl to obliterate all traces of such artistic efforts, we decided to depart from a worn-out, featureless custom and to institute something new, which succeeding classes, however, contrary to our hopes, have failed through lack of ability or courage to imitate, Aecordingly on November 13 a public sale of the individual members of the class of 1908 was advertised to take place two days later. The hand bills set forth in glow- ing tribute the rare specimens to be auctioned off, but de- spite the fact that they found their way broadcast over the State from Wilmington to Seaford, the sale did not take place owing to the absence of bidders. But unlike the nu- merals of ather classes, the 1909 posters remained in a posi- tion to command attention until removed by hands other than ours. Guiding us through all of it were our class of- ficers, Fat Wingett, President; Kid Josephs, Vice-Presi- dent; and Dutch Keppel, Secretary. As we became accustomed to the routine of life at Del- aware and began to look around us for means of distinguish- ing ourselves, it became apparent that we had the right sort of material, both on the athletic field and in the many fields which offer opportunity for a display of mental capabilities. Josephs, Papperman and Wingett made places on the foot ball team and later Robin was elected captain of the basket ball team, an honor very seldom conferred on a Freshman. When the base ball season came around, 1909 was repregented in the first game by five men, two of whom failed to make good. In the ranks of debaters our bright, particular star was Hamilton, who justified his title as the champion debater of the College by defeating Warrington in a special contest for the supremacy. In addition to Hamil- ton, Wingett and Papperman secured places on the society debating teams and won prizes in debate and oratory. T8 In social activities we were also foremost. On January 26, 1906, the entire class oceupied box seats at Dock's, and later in the evening enjoved the honor of being the first Freshman class at Delaware to hold a banquet. It occurred at a most propitious time, immediately following an English exam of Doc Dawson's, lasting from 8.45 a. m. to 12.45 p. m., and to say that we enjoyed ourselves after such an or- deal is stating the fact very modestly. The fact that the ma- jority of us were later to receive flunks for that very exam did not dampen our ardor a particle. Perhaps the fear of such an outcome even added to our keen relish of the menu. Both succeeding Freshmen classes have held banguets ahout the same time of the year and the custom seems to be per- manently instituted. On the whole we were well-represent- ed in all branches of college activities and it must have been apparent to the Faculty and the other classes that we, as a majority, were not in college simply for our health. When we reconvened in September, 1906, several mem- bers were absent. Hamilton, Raymond and Horrigan had left college and a few others had decided with a little per- suasion from the Faculty, to cast their lots with the class of 1910. But to balance things up we received three new men, MacSorley, Hap Ward and Harp MecGarvey, who have proved very valuable additions to the class. The first act of our official career was to elect officers for the yvear. Jimmie Adking was chosen President, Brook Jackson, Vice-Presi- dent, and as Keppel had proved to be a very good extorter of class dues, he was retained as Secretary and Treasurer. A large Freshman class kept us busy for a while and ineci- dentally threatened to exhaust the town water supply. And athletics claimed our attention again. In the annual Fresh- man-Sophomore game we were victorious, winning the game T on a field of mud. MecGarvey proved to be an all-around athlete, making the serub foot ball team, the Varsity basket ball and 'Varsity base ball team easily, and Ward showed . folks that he could play basket ball. When the base ball season came around we made use of our material and won the college championship, which performance we hope to repeat this year. In the inter-class field meet the 1909 relay team was victorious, and Prouse, the captain, won first place in the mile and half-mile, clipping five seconds off the record for the latter and winning a medal. Returning in September, 1907, it seemed strange to us to be merely spectators of the class-rush, and I suspect that more than one of us was itching to shed his coat and wade into it. However we restrained our warlike impulses and contented ourselves with showing Sophomores to the new men to turn over or separating two Freshmen pressing each other fiercely for the greater glory of their class. Early in October the class election was held and Palmer was made President; Dyke Stewart, Vice-President; McIn- tire, Treasurer ; and Watts, Secretary. Up to date this year we have had to content ourselves with the basket ball championship, easily secured from the FFreshmen, two representatives in the intercollegiate debate with Rutgers, namely, Prouse and Papperman, and two Var- gity captains, Adkins, base ball, and Prouse, track. In reviewing our career which is drawing rapidly to a close, it is not vainglorious to say that the class of 1909 has amply justified its existence and fully proved its usefulness in the eyes both of the Faculty and of the other classes, and if our efforts have not always achieved the success we strove for, let it be ascribed to faults of execution rather than to Td any lack of spirit or loyalty. One motive has ever urged us onthe welfare and upbuilding of 0ld Delaware, and if we have failed it iz owing to no fault of the heart. HISTORIAN. RICHARD FLAMITDON A LMER. Che lass of 1909, Mticers.

But Brigham, as he s enlled, from the rela- tlom which his name bears to the Mormon by that name, ean stand rough hogse pretty well. For s he not one of the big chiefs of the Red Men? Has he not passed many nights around the campfive of some warm lodge room? But whither you class him with the Mormons or the Indians, he certainly combines a characterlatic which s eommon with both. namely. that of shrewdnesa. Brigham can cul more recitations and get excused for his cuts with less trouble than nny man in eollege. Hig favorite excuse, at least the one he glves to Robby ls. that he has a0 much trouble with his head. Young has a good reputation in mathematice and If he can keep it up will certainly make good In his pro- fession. We certainly give him our heartlest wishes for suceess when he enters upon his work.

WE ARE THE SONS OF THE OLD BLUE HEN DELAWARE, DELAWARE, NINETEEN TEN. 108 EPTEMEER nineteen hundred and six saw forty- eight young men from Delaware, Maryland and the District of Columbia, assembled as Freshmen on the campus at Old Delaware. Upon leaving home I was told that I would meet here representatives from some of the best families of our little Diamond State, and I was not disappointed. Not only in this class did I meet fellows who were to become life-long friends, but in the other classes as well I met boys who have become college chums. Our reception here was in accordance with the univer- sal law governing the reception of Freshmen. By our su- perior numbers we were able to whip our oppressors in class seraps. In all class games we lost out by the closest mar- ging during our first year. Although we were not repre- sented in the 'Varsity Foot Ball Team of 1906 we supplied a large number of scrub men, doing what we could in that way. We were in the same position in basket ball. Two men made the Varsity Base Ball Team in our Freshman year and a number of others helped on the scrub team. Two Freshmen broke records at the inter-class athletic contest in June; Edgar, high jump, and Eliason, hammer throw. Returning to College in September, 1907, I noticed that a number of familiar faces were missing., Among them were fellows who in only one year had won the friendship of all their fellow students. Among those who dropped out were: Porter, Bell, Rossell, Plumley, Montgomery and others just as popular. Beside the empty chairs in the class rooms these fellows left, they also made gaps in the athletic teams and in the orchestra. The class of 1911, entering in September, 1907, was the largest elass ever enrolled at Delaware, and by their su- perior numbers, easily overwhelmed us in the class scrap. Re-organizing in our Sophomore year we elected Oliver G. Hudson President of the class, to sueceed John W. Alden, who had been President during our Freshman year. Several new men entered the Sophomore class last fall, offsetting somewhat the losses we had sustained. HISTORIAN. 107 Members of the Class of 1910 JOHN WILEY ALDEN, 2 E .............Wilmington, Del.

NINETEEN ELEVEN., 117 HEN college opened on the morning of Septem- ber the twelfth, 1907, there assembled in the chapel hall the largest Freshman class ever en- rolled at Old Delaware. Between sixty-five and seventy manly-looking fellows seated them- selves in the Freshman pews and took part in the morning exercises. This imposing scene seemed to take all of the courage from the Sophomores, whose chief thoughts were about the class fight. They had, indeed, good cause for fear, for no sooner were the Freshmen outzide of chapel than they began to prepare for the reception of their renowned rivals. The class fight began; the result was at once evident. In a very short time every Sophomore was struggling on the 118 ground, and at the end of fifteen minutes, each one was lying contentedly on hiz back, held down by a Freshman, while geveral 1911 men stood idly around watching the sport. The Sophs were completely subdued. They did not again dare to make an open assault upon the Freshmen, but sought re- venge by imposing upon two or three at a time. The Fresh- men were little disturbed by these maneuvers, since they had proved that, with a fair chance, they were much su- perior to these arrogant second year men. Having thus shown their physieal ability, the object of the Freshmen, now, was to prove to the faculty and upper classmen that they had brains as well as muscle. This they did to everyone's satisfaction. It required only a few weeks to thoroughly convinee everyhbody connected with the college that the class of 1911 had men capable of mastering the work in every department. Continued study, however, became somewhat monoto- nous to the Freshmen, and they planned to have a little rec- reation at the expense of the Sophomores. Late one evening, three or four Freshmen journeyed down town, obtained a can of white paint, and in a short time had literally painted the town with their class numerals. This seemed to irritate the Sophs very much, as their whole class turned out on the following night and endeavored to blot out the numerals. Their attempt, however, was only partially successful. The next work of the class was the election of its offi- cers, This election was held at a time when the fellows wers still strangers to one another and of course could not judge the men for whom they voted. Time has proved, however, that had the class waited until the end of the year they could not have chosen better men for the positions. Frank D. Wil- 119 son was elected President to succeed P. Wainer, the Presi- dent pro tem. J. G. Stewart was chosen Vice-President and C. H. Coale, Becretary and Treasurer. The manner in which these men have filled their positions reflects credit, not only upon themselves, but also upon their class and their college. As time passed, the annual interest in foot ball became apparent around eollege. Soon after the opening of the sea- zon the Freshmen went out to meet their rivals, the Sophs, on the gridiron. The prevalent opinion was that the Sopho- maores, on account of their experience and superior weight, would have no trouble in piling up a very large score. The result was very different from what had been expected. Throughout the game the Freshmen showed themselves su- perior in everything except weight. This one quality, how- ever, proved to be a great advantage to the Sophs and, at the last moment, by continued line plunges, they succeeded in zeoring one touchdown. The game thus ended five to noth- ing in favor of the Sophomores, but it was considered by all a great victory for the Freshmen. The Freshmen had thus far followed the precedent laid down by previous classes. They had won the elass fight, painted their numerals, and lost their foot ball game by the closest score of any Freshman class for several years. They were now prepared to do a little bit more. On Wednesday, December the eighteenth, the Fresh- man-Sophomore basket ball game was played. The Sophs had here hoped to obtain revenge for their poor showing in foot ball, but they were sadly dizsappointed. Hagner, the Freshman captain, had been giving his men a little secret practice and had them in fine shape. Soon after the game began the Frezshmen secured a lead by eight points. This so 120 astonished the Sophomores that they forgot all that they had ever known about basket ball. The Freshmen retained their lead and won the game by a score of twenty to fourteen. This score would have been greatly increased but for the fact that several of the Freshmen subs were given a chance in the last half. This victory convinced the Sophomores that it was use- less to struggle longer against their superiors, and the riv- alry between the two classes ceased. Interest in athletics was now replaced by thoughts of the mid-vear examinations. The Freshmen again settled down to hard study and, consequently, with one or two ex- ceptions, the entire class passed very satisfactory examina- tions. Immediately following the exams, the greatest event in the history of the class occurred. This was the banquet. On Friday evening, February the seventh, at eight thirty, the class entered the Garrick Theatre at Wilmington and occupied the four front rows of seats. The theatre was deco- rated with 1911 pennants, while several of the performers wore blue and gold costumes. After the play the members of the class proceeded to the Clayton House where an elab- orate eleven course dinner awaited them. They disposed of as much of this as was possible and then spent a few of the morning hours in giving toasts to the college, the faculty and the different classes. The many needs of the college were also discussed and the class pledged its support in aiding to supply them. A noticeable feature of the whole affair was the lack of ungentlemanly conduct which usually prevails on such ocecasions. The banguet also aroused a class spirit which will exist long after the class of 1911 has left 0ld Delaware. Another noteworthy fact concerning the class is that it has been represented in all of Delaware's inter-collegiate contests. Bratton, Stewart and Edwards oceupied positions on the 'Varsity Foot Ball Team. Hagner was one of the five men awarded D's for basket ball. Wilson, Winner and Kidd are members of the track team. Knowles and Ennis were in the debate with Rutgers. The base ball team has not yet been choszen, but the outlook is very promising for the Freshmen. McDaniel, Marshall, Dunn and Edwards have shown up well in practice and have a good chance for their respective positions, The class of 1911 has, thus, had a most successful his- tory, and one of which every Freshman has good reason to be proud. Its present standing is very commendable. It is enjoy- ing a popularity greater than that accorded to any Fresh- man class for many years. Nearly one-half of its members are already connected with the different fraternities. The class is also doing good work in the Y. M. C. A., and it has several regular contributors to the college paper. In other words, the men of the Freshman class are showing by their actions that they place the welfare of their class and college above their own private interests. The future of this exceptional class we dare not predict. Whether or not it will continue its successful career, time only can tell. Of these facts, however, we are perfectly sure, that during the next three years it will be ever willing and anxious to fight the battles of the college and when it shall be compelled to sever its personal relations with dear 0ld 122 Delawara, it will fight the true battles of life in a manner which will bring honor to its own name and to that of its Alma Mater.

This fact appears the more striking when we contrast it with the good work of last yvear's team., The team of '06 went through the entire sea- son with but one defeat, and that was in the last game; and furthermore, up until that time their goal line had not been crossed. Of that team we lost just eight out of the eleven regular players,namely, Wyatt, left end; Lawson, left tackle; Stine, left guard; Mes- sick, right guard; Voss, right tackle; Cann, right end; Wright, quarter back, and Taylor, half back. We had Papperman, center, Bald- win, half back. and Kelly, full back, as a nucleus around which to build this year's team. The men who made the Varsity for the first time this yvear were: Rothrock, end, who searcely weighed enough to keep him- self firmly on the ground; Adkins, sub-tackle on last year's team; Bratton, whose bulk alone justified his holding a job; Edwards, a Freshman, who had played four years on Wilmington High; Robin, sub, from last year; and Bratton, '11, who knew enough to hold his job no matter where he learned it. : The one respect in which we were strong was in the matter of coaches. 1 may safely say that no-6ther college in the country of the same size as Delaware was so well BALDWIN, CAPT - KELLEY, '8, ' equipped with expert assistance. Our head coach, E. Pratt King, is a good foothall player and did great work consider- ing the material he had to work with. Mr. King played four years at Mercersburg, one year at Chicago, three years at Purdue, and one season at Massilon, Ohio, as a professional. Lucien Green represented the Alumni in the coaching corps, and Lieut. Stayer represented the Faculty. The schedule as arranged by Manager Newman was the heaviest we have had in years, but its strenuousness was materially decreased by the fact that several teams cancelled, and that fre- quently so late that we could not substitute an- other team, The first call for players was well answered, and for the first few evenings of practice we had from thirty-five to forty-five men in uniform: but this enthusiasm did not survive the hard work which Coach King mapped out for the candidates, and as the days went by the squad gradually de- creased in size until it was with difficulty that a scrub team could be made up to oppose the Var- sity. Several times both Coaches, King and Green, went before the student body and pave them short talks, hoping to get out the best ma- terial in college ; but their efforts seemed to result merely in getting out enough men for a few days, at the end of which time the same thing had to be repeated. The Williamson game was our first and it showed how hope- lessly weak we were. We lost on a fluke, but most of the students formed their estimate of the team from this game and held it throughout the season. Williamson was the lightest team on our schedule and we should have beaten 154 them despite the fact that they outweighed us. This game caused the blowing up of several of our high school phe- noms and took the heart out of both the players and the student body. Our next game, at Haverford, brought about a com- plete reversal in our form, it was the second best exhibi- tion the team made during the season. Haverford was as strong as Rutzers or Western Maryland., The fact that our boys played great ball in this contest iz witnessged by the number of crippled men they brought back, Several new men were tried out in this game, and two, Stewart and Lyndall, made very creditable showings. Stewart had three ribs fractured, and this injury laid him up for the re- mainder of the season; and Lyndall had a little trouble with the powers that be, and he came out no more. After this game our hopes, which had been deadened by the Williamson contest, again took a boost and started to soar. As is usually the case the higher you fly the harder the drop. This proved to be the ease in this particular instance. Western Maryland was out next opponent, and the way thoze fellows treated us was shameful, to say the least. The boys started out well and for a PAPPERMAN, CAPT.-ELECT. short time it looked as if it would be an interest- ing contest, but as soon as Delaware lost the ball the team seemed to go up. Western Maryland trotted through the line and around the ends and outplayed Delaware during the remainder of the contest. The team did not recover from the effects of this defeat until the last game, and during the week previous to the Rutgers game they practiced in a me- chanical way despite the efforts of the coaches. The Rut- gers game was a repetition of that at Western Maryland, only we were defeated by a larger score. Rutgers was out for vengeance, as we had beaten them on their own grounds the previous season. If revenge iz sweet, the boys from New Brunswick certainly took away their share of it. Dela- ware received the ball on the kick-off and started down the field in their old-time style. They carried the ball to with- in Rutgers' five-yard line. Here Rutgers held and took the ball. Their first play was a forward pass and it worked well. In two more line-ups they carried the ball across the line, and after that it was only a question as to how large the score would he. Qur next game was with F, M., and this time we made a somewhat better showing, Several new men were tried out by Coach King and two of these showed up finely. They were Stewart and Lyndall, but misfortune again camped on our trail, for Stewart had three ribs fractured and was put out for the remainder of the season, and Lyn- dall withdrew from the squad the following week. The fol- lowing Saturday we played Johns Hopkins at Baltimore and made the best showing of the season. The score was 0 to 0, but that does not show how near Delaware came to win- ning, as we lost the ball three separate times inside our op- ponents five-yvard line. On Thanksgiving Day we were to have played Wash- ington College on our field, but they, like Stevens, cancelled at such a late date that we could not secure another team. As a whole the football season was a failure; but the out- look for next season is of the brightest character and we can therefore hope to retrieve our lost reputation. STATISTICS. DATE.

Wimington Star. Yesterday the boys from Delaware State journeyed to Haverford to try conclusions with the team representing Haverford College. The football squad under Coach King and accompanied by quite a number of rooters from among the student body occupied a special ear on No. 34. The game was marked by the great frequency with which the forward pass and onside kick were attempted, and it served to em- phasize the necessity of thorough drill along these lines. Haverford outweighed Delaware fifteen pounds per man as they came upon the field, but owing to Delaware's speed this 157 added weight did not give the Quakers as much advantage as might be expected. Delaware won the toss and Captain Baldwin elected to defend the south goal with the wind at his back. Haverford had the kick-off. Edwards, for Haver- ford, booted the ball out of bounds at Delaware's 15 yard line on the first attempt and he received a second trial. This time he kicked to Kelley, whowas downed on his own 20 yard line, having advanced the ball from the goal line. On the first serimmage Delaware lost possession of the ball through a fumble by Berry. Haverford tried Bard around right end for a long run but Robin downed him for a loss of two yards. Bard was again called upon and he carried the ball around Edwards for a gain of five yards. Haverford then tried a goal from placement which was blocked by Papperman, Rothrock falling on the pigskin. At this stage of the game Delaware took a decided spurt and it seemed for a moment as if they could not be stopped. Kelley gained twelve yards on two tries through center. Lyndall circled left end for a fifteen yard gain. Doane gained eight yvards on two trials through the left side of the line. Captain Baldwin was thrown for a loss of five yards on the next play, but Kelley by a twelve yard plunge through the opposing line regained it. A forward pass was then pulled off by Robin, Kelley re- covering the ball on Haverford's forty vard line. Lyndall and Kelley made thedistance in two plays and an on-side kick was attempted. The pass was poor and Baldwin attempted to run it out and was thrown for a loss of eight yards. From here until the end of the game Delaware's work was entire- ly defensive. Haverford scored two touchdowns, both of which came in the second half, one after Baldwin's try at a field goal had been blocked, and another on a fumbled kick. The Blue and Gold team put up one of their strongest games 158 but seemed to be laboring under an attack of stage fright or some similar disease, because their attack lacked that vigor and dash requisite for successful team work.

One of the most closely contested games of football seen in this vicinity for several seasons was pulled off at Oriole Park vesterday afternoon when Johns Hopking and Dela- ware State played for fifty minutes without erossing each other's goal line. These two teams have met annually for the last twenty years and at present they are tied in the number of games won. Seven out of the twenty contests have been tied, so this shows how closely matched the teams 159 have been. Last year Delaware won by a score of 5 to 0, but Hopkins expected an easy victory over the light team sent down to represent the Gold and Blue this season. The field was in poor condition, as the rains of the last few days had made it soggy and very slippery. This faect favored Hopkins, as they had a slightly heavier team, The game was called at 3 o'clock, and Captain Baldwin took the kick-off. Ward kicked to Bradbury on Hopkins' three yard line and the big full back carried the ball fifteen vards before he was downed by Rothreck. Hallman then made the distance in two tries around right end. Thompson tried a forward pass but Josephs zecured the ball. Dela- ware tried on the second serimmage the old style on-side kick but lost the ball. This time Hopkins started up the field in earnest and by a series of end runs, line bucks and short, quick forward passes carried the ball to Delaware's twenty yard line, Here they were held and Jones dropped back for a try at a field goal. He failed and Ward punted from Dela- ware's twenty-five yard line. Bradbury received the kick and carried the ball to the middle of the field hefore being downed by Baldwin. Bradbury tried a line plunge but was down for a loss by Papperman, who broke through the line and caught him before his interference had formed. Hop- kins kicked on the next down and Baldwin by fine dodging and running carried the pigskin to the center of the field. Here Delaware tried their first forward pass, Robin to Kelly, and they made thirty yards. By straight football the Blue and Gold carried the ball to Hopkins' five yard line. Here Josephs fumbled and Hartley fell on the ball for Hop- kins. The home boys kicked on the first serimmage but Kelley blocked. Rothrock missed a flying dive for the ball behind the Red and Black's goal line and Ziegler recovered 1640 it for Hopkins. Bradbury then punted from the twenty-five yard line to Kelley, who was downed on his own fifty vard line. After several scrimmages time was called. The first half was over and neither team had scored. Second half. Bradbury kicked to Josephs who was downed by Hartley without a gain. Kelley was given the ball on a delayed pass and ran through the whole Hopkins team for a sixty vard gain, but the ball was brought back to the middle of the field, as he had stepped outside the bound- ary in dodging Thompson. Here Josephs fumbled on the second down and Zeigler fell on the ball. Hopkins made the distance twice in succession and carried the ball to Dela- ware's thirty-five yard line when the Blue and Gold held them for downs. Delaware then started down the field and by steady playing, using the old style and a few forward passes, carried the ball to Hopkins' one yard line. Here Baldwin was thrown for a loss and on the next play Josephs passed badly and Hopkins secured the ball. Bradbury im- mediately punted out of danger and after this the ball moved back and forward near the center of the field, both teams being unable to gain consistently. Line-up: HOPKING. DELAWARE.

Review of the Season q T was with real honest pride that the students watched J the progress of the baseball team. Before the season started we heard great talk of what would happen as soon as the sun should come out warm and the field should dry. We heard promises of great success on the Southern tripand we waited. The sun did not come out and the field would not dry off, and it was but a week before Easter holidays that our team could get any practice whatsoever, The talk of re- peated victories on the Southern trip became fainter and fainter, and doubts and fears instead were circulating from mouth to mouth. Then the boys went South. They played well and our hopes went up. They came home and great was the praise of them and the appreciation of their work. Through the athletic column of the daily papers we had followed the teams of Cornell, La- fayette and other eolleges down South, We noticed that North Carolina A. M. was the winning college in the South. They defeated Cornell, they defeated Lafayette, and we defeated them. Uni- versity of North Carolina defeated Cornell, and we defeated University of North Carolina. Have r we not a right to feel proud? On our return home our first game was with Rock Hill College whom we defeated by a score of 4 to 1. On the following Friday April 19 we left to play two games; one with Western Maryland, and one with Mount St. Mary's, both of which we won with ease, Next we lost to Maryland Agrieultural College, followed by a 168 fifteen inning tie game with Albright. Several of our men were injured in the last two games and we were defeated by Lebanon Valley by a score of 10 to 7. The remainder of the season proved to us that our team was of the right sort. We defeated Maryland Agricultural College 7 to 0, and lost to Villa Nova, the strongest college team in the country, by a score of b to 6. The remainder of the season proved to us - that our team was of the right sort. We de- feated Maryland Agricultural College 7 to 0, and lost to Villa Nova, the strongest college team in the country, by a score of 5 to 6. The outlook for the season of 1908 is excep- tionally bright and we hope that it will be an improvement even on last year's season. The candidates are showing up finely under Coach Vie Willis of the Pitttsburg Nationals and we expect to be extraordinarily strong in the pitch- ing department this season. The team is prac- tically the same as last year, Cullen, the first baseman, being the only ma nwho did not re- turn to college. Before this publication went to press we had defeated the Wilmington team of the Tri-State ADKINS, CAPT. 6, League by a score of 6 to 5, which spealis well indeed, for the Tri-3tate is one of the fastest minor leagues n in the country. Our team outplayed the Wilmington club at nearly every stage of the game, runs being put across the slate with a regularity that caused the Tri-State aggrega- tion te sit up and take notice. 169 QO A7 7 SO 772 Date.

Review of the Season ONSIDERING the entire season from an impartial viewpoint one must admit that we have had a success- ful season. Although there was no lack of candidates for the team, there was to a certain extent a scareity of good - material. After the first six or seven men were selected the - remainder were fair but not up to the standard. The schedule, though not long, was the hardest in the history of the college and the manner in which the team performed will confirm the first state- ment in this review. The first game with Mary- land showed us that our team was fast, but lacked endurance, although the Maryland team was away below par and was not fit to test thoroughly the capabilities of our team. The Swarthmore game was where the lack of endurance again came into evidence, but nevertheless the Quakers realized that they had a tough proposition and played their very best. The game at Rutgers, which was played on Friday evening of the week of the mid-year's, was our first real triumph. The team was fatigued mentally and physically when it arrived at New Brunswick; but remembering how Rutgers had put it on us in foot ball, they proceeded to play as if they meant business, and in a few minutes had defeated the New Jersey collegians. The game with Millersville proved an easy victory; but at Swarthmore the team lost their nerve in the second half and allowed themselves to be run away with. Pennsylvania State came along with the toughest proposition of the year and though we lost we feel that we died hard, for they had a NEWMAN, CAPT. 178 team that would be hard to beat. Rutgers on our floor proved a pudding and Delaware seored almost at will. When the team left for a short trip into Pennsylvania Cap- tain Newman was left behind and Hagner was suffering from a disloecated thumb. The first game with Millersville was a defeat for us. This was followed by another from Pennsylvania State which was of the worst kind. The best showing made by the team on the trip was against Buck- nell's strong team: but alas, those giants defeated us. The work of all the men was excellent, that of Captain Newman and Hagner the Freshman being especially good, as they never lacked the staying qualities. However, considering that we had neither trainer nor coach we succeeded as well as any one could hope for. - Penn State, 26 Delaware, 19. From the Review. On February 13th we lost to Penn State in one of the most bitterly contested games ever seen on the local floor. Penn State is usually considered on a par with the Big Five, and the way our boys showed up against them was certainly a welcome sight. The game opened up in a lively manner and in a few minutes State had netted three goals. Right here they stopped for a time, and Delaware started in. Our team-work at this stage of the game was of the finest order and in a few minutes we had piled up ten points. During the remainder of the half it was nip and tuck, with the score at the end of the half 1312, in favor of Delaware. State entered the second half with two new men'in their line-up, and the freshness of the latter, coupled with the better physical condition of the State boys, gave them the 179 victory. They knew, however, that they were playing bas- ket-ball at all stages of the contest, and had we been as fortunate in having able substitutes to replace our tired players, results, perchance, might have been different.

On the evening of February 15, just two days after the gruelling contest with Penn State, we took a fall out of Rut- gers. The boys from New Brunswick came down here with their best and despite the fact that we had defeated them in their own back yard earlier in the season, we were confident that they would give us a dose of our own medicine, The contest, however, was too one-sided to be interesting and al- though both teams played fast, their efforts were marred by too much fouling. Delaware seemed dead for the first few minutes of play, and Rutgers piled up seven points before we started. When we did get going it did not take us long to eateh up and we were soon in the lead with a safe margin, The first half was a nice contest, with Delaware just a little bit to the good, both in shooting and floor work, and when 1580 the whistle blew the score stood, Delaware, 28 ; Rutgers, 16. In the zecond half Delaware plainly showed her superiority over the boys from New Brunswick, and literally ran away from them. The Rutgers team, towards the cloze of the half, went completely up in the air and never came down un- til after the whistle blew. The final score would no doubt have been larger but Captain Newman sent in several of the subs in order not to overwork the regulars, as they had had a hard week of it. Line-up: RUTGERS.

Because of the small interest taken in track work it is hard to tell what possibilities lie undeveloped in many of our students. We are generally foreed to review our season, if we may call it such, from a standpoint of relay team work rather from that of track work in its broader sense. In 1907, however, we were glad to find a new interest in the track work, which found expression in the Inter-class Meet, June 22d. Be- cause of unfortunate and unavoidable circumstances there was no such meet in 1906. Therefore the interest in 1907 was greatly inereased over that of previous years. The track men of the four classes got down to hard training and steady work., The result was that no less than six college records were broken. On the day of the meet com- ing during commencement week, a large crowd was gath- ered to see the sports, and from the way that records were 188 tumbled about we believe that the spectators could not have been disappointed. Aside from the good work done at the meet, possibly the greatest result of it was the enthusiasm which was awak- ened among the students. While as yet we have not at- tempted dual track work with other colleges, yet we believe that this will soon come and only a year or two will elapse, we hope, before track will begin to gain the interest of the students as strongly as have base ball, foot ball and basket ball. Even now we can note a change in the general feeling and indications point toward a very suecessful season in 1908. Delaware will, of course, enter a team in the Penn- sylvania meet, and June 16th is the date set for our inter- class sports. 158 19008 RELAY TEAM ELIASON BHEAKING COLLEGE RECORD HAMMER THROW Inter-Class Track and Field Meet ALUMNI TROPHY, 1907 HELD AT Huber Field June Eighteenth TRACK EVENTS.

Oh, blond and freckled youth, We're wondering all the while, If Sussex county does contain Another of your style. O Doctor Rowan Mr. Bacon, what were the conditions of travel in the time of Charlemagne?' Bacon- Travel was very dangerous, Doctor ; the roads were much infested with pirates. S B oo First Student entering his neighbor's room What course are you taking? Second Student putting down his pen 0h, I'm a special. Firast Student- Special? You must be taking up a good many studies. I am studying Ethics, Psychology, Logie, Greek, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Chemistry, Astronomy, and Geologytwenty-six periods in all, but I do not have to work half as hard as you do. Why, for the last three nights I've heard you moving around until 2 A. M., and during the day vou seem to be cramming, cram- ming, always. What are you taking, anyway 7 Second Student wearilyOh, I'm taking only His- tory and English under Doctor Sypherd.

Rewrite carefully. B 5 a Prospective Delaware Student Tt is easy to get into Delaware, isn't it ? Junior with five flunks- It is easy to get into any kind of trouble, sonny. 8 8 a AN INCIDENT THAT HAFPENED TO HARP. While skating this winter McGarvey had quite an ex- citing time. He was doing some faney stunts, as he sup- posed, all by himself on a corner of the creek. As he was about to make one of his faney turns a lady with consider- able avoirdupois struck him and Mae sprawled all over the ice. The lady had just passed over Mac when she saw some other skaters coming near her. And so she yvelled, Look out! look out, there! Just at that time Mac recovered, and looking up, said, For heaven's sake, are you coming back again 1 oS o After Kimble, '08, had made a thorough analysis of an unknown in chem. lab. he returned his answer in this way : Prof. Tiffany, Well, Kimble, what did you find? Oh, Professor, it was only a blamed chunk of tombstone CaC0?, o OB B QUESTION. Some one asked Papperman, '09, in chem. lab. if he was soluble in agua regia. His response was ves, but that the questioner was not soluble in alcohol. Who asked the ques- tion? 254 SophI am a literary headlight. Junior-You mean a light-headed literary-ite. G Dr. Harter in Physics Mr. Korngold, what is work 7 Korngold, '10 1 don't know, sir. GO R If failures on earth were successes hereafter, what a cinch Freudie's Elec and Mag would be on the soft side of Paradise. o oo Dr. Wolf, to Horn, '10, who was seuffling his feet in chemistryWell, Horn, what are you doing, dancing the hornpipe? P. 8. This is a eapital joke for Doe. S B 8 Prof. Smith Well, Mr. Baldwin, for what is this style of dynamo principally used? Baldwin, '08 To generate electricity. 205 1909 Gravevard 909 It was midnight, dark and dreary, and I, tired, weak and WedLry, Waved the mystic shade of Morpheus from the black Plutonian shore; Long ago this search I'd started for the graves of Cur Departed, But alas, my course apart led from my clnssmates gone befare, Gone perhaps for ever more. Soen I pasaed the broad-arched gateway, and through studicus path went straightway- Many epitaphs there scanning cut on monument and shrine; Verse and metre unpoetie, some were tender and pathetic, Others cold, unsympathetic, making chills skate o'er my spine, And my eyes to fill with brina, Great was my astonishment, seecing on a monument The statue of an athlete which T knew was MeGiarvey. And these words were there for reading: Ed MeGarvey, Poor Ed, When first you reached the place, You were a perfect saint, Id, You nanght Lud done of late, Of poker soom you learned, Ed, Of Behlitz, and Blue Ribbon, too, And when a start you got, Ed, There was no hope for you. 256 For Eddie, great tears sobbing, while my heart was beating, throbbing, Then I read an another slab: Here lies Hap Ward, Lanky or Legs as you like; For the wicked world Having no love He just went up to one above. Hap, too, has he gone under? Ahl so decreased our number; But upon the gravestone yonder is the name of Brigham Young. And T read, stepping up nearer: Alag! Brigham Young lies here, His demise came just last year, Much too small was our eullaqe For that head so full of knowledge. Next T notice meath an oak tres an old urn which used to be over in me- chanical cellar; now it bore this apita bz This urn contains that ehronie grin And sallow smile of Mare Robin. No coffin found to hold his feet, His corpse lies here wound in a sheet. Just within a shady bower, beautiful with fern and flower, We had stepped, and there four tombstones bore these names oft seen be- fore: 4limmie Adkins, Willie Wingett, Jones and J. K. Rothrock. Poor Jimmie Adkina eyes got sore, Detective he could be no more, The other shadows over there Will wash his face and comb his hair, Consigned to this easket of cedar Reelines the eorpse of Willie Wingett, the loafer, His delight was the fair dame, Pigakin nrhem and poker game. Short will be his stay below, Baing too tough for Mephisto, In this grave both deep and wide SFreudy and Jones lie side by side. With E. E. they had a scuffle, And were both lost in the shuffle. With sorrow and anguish we lenrned, J. R. Rothrock his toes had upturned. Old Niek with a sigh 2857 Tock him out to get dry, And declared him too fresh to be burned, Watts was a pleasant lad, his domise indeed was sad. C. E. Watts lost his tongue, And in elasses was unstrung, He loved Latin less than maiden, The furnaee is still his Adien. But of Liz Qibbs this stone suys something, Isane Gibbs, our modest dude, With jovial smile and merry mood, His lifle has elosad In enlm repose, College to him was servitude, MacSorley, Gus Papperman and Duteh Keppel next I notice behind the briers on three tombstones in a row: J Mac MacSorley, o book hater, Electricity said avaunt. He, to n large city, went to eater In a cheap hash restaurant. Gustav Adolph Papperman With all his weighfa any killer, In his room he had a horse, But never in exams of course, Here lie the bonea of Charles Kep, - On his departure many wep, Math was his Jomah, but a rep Regard for thee hath never slep; Peace to thy ashes, dear old Kep, Kicking two more slabs from a nook, I then read this of Prouse and Brook: Howard Frouse was our preacher, With Doc Rowan for his teacher, When temptations are so nigh us, What a blessing that the pious Die young. Brook Jackson became quite a sport; Got into devilment of every sort, When the MeC girls he went to court, He was sent home notice short. 258 'Weath a mighty willow tree, Parrish and Josephs I did see; Ome is engaged in picking stones, and the other sawing bones, Parrish, Parrish, when you left Of a mighty scrapper we were bereft. To a warmer climate you have gone The Batanic robe to don. Walter Willoughby Josephs, You were a fake. When classes came you had headache; We fear we'll quake That you will bake When Nick his elaim Comes round to take, . Then around me I did gaze, when these tombstones recalled those gome by days: Robert Carawell in forty one died; Alas! for Military he did love. In math he bluffed, and to Robbie sighed; The graphic method isn't used above. William Leslie Cramer is planted here, He grew lazier year by year. Whither he did we know not where; He is either in heaven or else down there. Here lieth Richard Palmer, the ladies' man, He died after he was tin eanned. But Dick was a jolly fellow, And never possessed a streak of yellow. Henry Vandyke was a lazy cuss And was always ready for a fuss When the ladies he called to see, He always spoke well of I, C. Behold Tom Tinney who was so falr, Tall and skinny, with auburn hair, OF cigarettes he was an expert maker Until he was ready for the undertaker. 2549 I must not forget to mention the last that attracted my attention: Melntire was of the manliest beauty, Hig heart was kind and soft; Faithful below he did his duty, But now he has gone aloft, As I these epitapha ended, I was st onee offended, For a yell from all the class was blended Caused by Satan, who the fire attended. Upon close inspection I found a unamimous objection, For Batan bad just put in another load of coal, Chis Page is Respectiully Dedicated to the Grinds. 261 Dur Trouhles HAT are those grass-colored objects moving across the eampus?' Oh, those are Fresh- men. Why do they stay in the paths?' They are afraid of being cut down by the lawn-mower. What do they come here for? This is cer- tainly not a foundling asylum.? Because their parents desire that men should be made of them. There is no other college like Delaware to do this. Such was the drift of conversation in the beginning of the fall term. We immediately took charge of the infants and since then have carefully trained them, so that in a few vears the desire of their parents may be realized. Believing firmly that godliness comes first and then cleanliness, we led them to the chapel in the morning, and then bathed them throughout the day, Early to bed was also a rule which it seemed necessary to adopt. Therefore, promptly at 8 P. M. these little ones were put in their cradles. But the kids are improving, and if the supply of milk and castoria does not run out we may expect something of them vet. In our efforts as child nurses we have been greatly handicapped by the want of a nursery. In the near future we trust that Doe will build one near the dormitories. 262 Remarks Heard About the Book and Board Knockers Bet it won't be fit to look at. Wingett ain't working. Adkins seems to be asleep at the switch. Harp McGarvey seems to be the busiest man on the Board. I'l1 bet those fellows run their book in the hole so d-n far that it will take thermn their entire Senior year to get out. Wingett is not a capable man. o o o Pleasant to Hear From our Friends. Well, from all appearances it is going to be a good publication. STf those fellows stay on the job there is no reason in the world why they won't come out even. e 5 Only a Freshman He had all the dignity, Airs and benignity Seniors or Juniors enjoy; But it all flickered out When a girl snickered out: My, what a cute little boy.
