DELAWARE COLLEGE Continued lished as a department of the College. A farm of 217 acres, lyving a mile south of the College, has been bought. It is most attractively situatsd and furnishes execellent means for practical instruction in Agriculture. At the last session an appropriation of $10,000 payvable in two installments of $5,000 each, was made for the care of the College property and for the sup- port of its work along sueh lines as are otherwise unprovided for. $10,000 was also appropriated for buildings on the College farm. The College buildings are heated by steam and lighted by electricity and are supplied with water by the town water works. A considerable part of the rear eampus is occupied as an athletic field and affords exeellent facilities for out-door sports and games. Tuition is free to all students from the State of Delaware, so that the College constitutes a part of our system of free public instruction. She places within reach of the young 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 is laid out upon broad lines, and the culture of liberal learning and the practical usefulness of the applied sciences are equally em- phasized in her scheme of education. While, in pursuance of the special aims of her organization, stress is laid upon those departments which build up good citizenship and useful manhood, 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.

CHARLES BROWN LORE LATE FRESIDENT OF THE SG0ARD OF TRUSTEES OF CELAWAME COLLESE From The Star, Wilmington, Del The late Chief Justice Lore had so long been a familiar figure in the public life of this State that one ean hardly realize that he is gone. In the nature of things his activities had abated somewhat of recent years, but the moral influence he exerted in the community has not abated in any sense. Indeed his death has strengthened that influence by focusing public atten- tion more intently upon the kind of man he was and the sort of life he lead. Evervone has something good to say of the dead, but here is a case where the epitaph and the truth are in harmony. Judge Lore's most striking quality was his democracy. He was a man of the people, by the people, and for the people. But he was no demagogue, seeking popular favor by appealing te popular prejudice. He could and did resist public sentiment when he thought public sentiment was wrong, but fortunately he did not often need to oppose the popular will. He had an abiding faith in the good sense and integrity of the average man, and all the acts of his life, and especially of his public life, were the fruits of that faith. Mr. Lore was honored by the State of Delaware in many ways, but he gave to it in return full measure of honor in faithful and valuable service. The places he occupied materially in life will be filled by others, but the places he occupied in the hearts of the people will remain vacant.
