Very few Southerners had anything left by that time, and the majority had even less. The Mitchells belonged to the majority. All of which is to say that the subject of this sketch, had he tried, could not have found a more unfavorable time and develop an all-consuming passion for an education. For schools were scarce then in that neck of the woods, and though tuition fees were pitifully small, measured by present-day standards, they were far beyond the reach of poverty stricken people. Qnmequrmh. hun- dreds of white children born at that time were practi- cally doomed to illiteracy, and thar certainly would have been the fate of our subject but for his indomit- able will and his ceaseless craving for Inmm;, Hp.uf does not permit a detailed account of the years of heroic and finally triumphant struggle for his soul's l ?'??5'.' '-h THE BLUE HE! desire. were comparable to those of Lincoln, and to th1s gay furnish the inspirational material for chapel talks and commencement addresses at his alma mater, Georgetown College, Ky. Others have helped Georgetown College with material benefactions, Eut the life and labors there of Samuel Chiles Mitchell first as student and later as instrucror will always be that Institution's greatest herirage. After receiving his M.A. degree in 1888, he was elected Professor of History and Greek at Mississippi College, where he taught with such marked success that at the end of twa years his alma mater invited him to return as Professor of Latin. This same year, Jlune 30, 1891,he marrned Miss Alice Vlrgmm Brc:adus. daughter of John Emadus, the South's most eminent Bapust theologian and minister, Four years later he was called to tEI chair of Latin ar Richmond College, Va. In 1898 he received the Ph.D. degree in History from the University of Chicago, and hence- forth taught that subject ar Richmond College. Though often invited to chairs in other institutions, and sev- eral times to the presidency of a college, he remained at the above institution until 1908, with the excep- tion of a vear's leave of absence at Brown University. It is noteworthy that he lectured here with such thought-provoking and interest-compelling power that his students presented him with a silver loving cup as a token of their esteem and love. Some instructors,we fear far too many, lose sight of their students in their engrossment in the sub- ject they teach; Dr. Mitchell is pre-eminent among those true teachers who use their subjects as instru- ments for laying hold on their students' souls, for moulding them and stimulating them to put forth their best energies and become the largest- mlnded and biggest-hearted men and women for themselves and their communities, Dr. Mitchell always clearly per- ceived that Latin and Greek and History and all the subjects of the curriculum, and all the instructors and laborarories and libraries and grounds and buildings exist for the pupils, and not the pupils for them. His love for his pupils was paternal, and his faith in them boundless and sublime. Many of them are to be found today in the different sections of the country holding high positions in the various occupations and professions who would most certainly be living on lower and less influential planes but for the initial and rsistent personal urge and inspiration they derived fPE om him. And this factthey now gratefully and lov- ingly acknuwled?lzl as if by prearrangement, by eall- ing themselves Mitchell men' But not only was he an exceptiunal teacher, he was also an exceptionally public-spirited citizen,a combination all too rare even when less highly devel- oped. He was not a scholar in politics; he was a scholar in civies. He initiated many movements for the public welfare in Virginia, and lent a valuable assistance to many more. Every cause that meant increased prosperity and progress found in him an enthusiastic and able champion. He made constant use of both press and platform to bring about the educarional, social, and economic reforms that were needed, and to him as much as to any one person Virginia owes her great renaissance. He suggested the .!'amesmwn Exposition, was President of the Anti- Saloon League of Virginia, member of the Richmond School Board, the Co-operative Educational Associa- tion, and is still member of the Southern Educational Board, trustee of the Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute, Richmond College, Union University, Rich- mond Woman's College, member of the Jeannes Fund, advisory member of the Unmiversity Commis- sion on Southern Race Questions. Neither his study nor the classroom, neither campus nor city or State could confine his interests and activities. He saw the close interrelation and interdependence of the smaller and larger units of the social tissue, and pitched his thoughts on the high plang of humanity and civiliza- tion, without regard to section, creed, color, or condi- tion. A man of vision, of clear understanding and l:rar:tic:l.l reason, he may, without fear of Exagferatinn y e called one of America's foremost educationa men., In 1908 he accepted the presidency of the Univer- sity of South Carolina. The impress he made upon this State in the four vears he labored in it is perhaps best and most briefly described in the following e'fi- torial of the Columbia State, June 14, 1913: It is the simple truth that rarely if ever has a man come to South Carolina from another State and made for himself in so short a time a place in the affections of the people comparable with that which Dr. Mitchell occupies. Nor has any man in so short a ime done nearly so great a work. Everywhere in South Carolina Dr. Mitchell has travelled, mingled with the people and spoken directly to them. A sound States- scholar, a brilliant speaker, a man of great heart and sympathy, he rapidly won the confidence of people of every kind and class. His talents were always at command of every good movement in the public inter- est, secular as well as religious and educarional, and his going is to Columbia and to the State the loss of a strong citizen as well as a devoted teacher. + + NMever was the institution nearer to the people than it is today, never was it so firmly intrenched mn popu- lar esteem and never was its future brighter or surer of success than now, and that excellent condition is in great degree to be attributed to Dr. Mitchell's unselfish, untiring and far-seeing endeavors. From the very first his aim was not only to bring the voung people of the State to the University, bur to take the Unmiversity out to the people and make it serve them in every possible way. It was not to be a cloistered institution teaching antiquated subjects that had no bearing upon present-day life conditions and problems; it was to become instead a central power house working day and night to send light and energy to the remotest corners of the State. Every agency for improvement and development, for uplift and reform was invited and encouraged to draw freely upon its resources and energies. In the four years of his administration the enrollment increased from 285 to more than 500, an unparalleled growth that sur- prised and delighted the ?riendx of education every- where. In 1913 he was prevailed upon to return to Richmond and accept the presideney of the two medi- cal schools located there, in which position he was able to render a timely and most needed service to the cause of medical education in Virginig and the South, with his spiritual force, and tens of thousands ape This important work succ:essful:li:, completed, he nextc ennobled because of the ideals he presented, the vear accepted the presidency of the Delaware State thoughts he awaEcncd. and rhe feelings he enkindled Colle e, which naltlun he now hulds n l:htll' minds and hearts. ieEned ristian gentleman, inspiring teacher, He stimulated the best in all he met, and released educational staresman, democratic executive, idealist, the unused energies of men, directing them always to philanthropist,these words do not flatter; they fail the upbuilding of the State. rather in strength adequarely to express the saintly Josian Mogrse, and et social and dynamic character of their subject.

Just as in this spring season the trees are bursting with sap, so Delaware College is chock full of vital forces that will issue in expansion on a splendid scale. Such a flowering forth ofpeduta- tional energies in Delaware will be rFuc to a singular convergence of agencies that have been at work since 1767, when the P?ew:lrk Academy was founded. Into the initial religious impulse of thar colonial time has flowed successively the educational purposes of the State, of the Nation and of generous citizens. Tte strength of Delaware College lies in the com- pactness of its organization and in the comprehensive- DELAWARE COLLEGE IN THE SERVICE OF THE NATION ness of its courses. 1t is an educational unit, and yet it offers instruction to both men and women in a rich variety of courses, such as Arts and Science, Agricul- ture, Engineering, Home Economics, and Teacher- Training. While through its alumni it has made a substantial contribution to the National life, Delaware College stands today on the eve of a great era. It is destined to give effect to the ideals of the State in the service of the Nation and of humanity. The measure of usefulness of the modern college 'is not only its ability to teach, but its willingness to serve, Samuier Cunes MiTcHELL.

The exercises were divided into two parts. The inauguration of the President took place on the cam- pus of Delaware College at eleven o'clock in the morn- ing. Chancellor Charles M. Curtis presided. After he had made the opening address and the Right Rev- erend F. . Kinsman, Bishop of Delaware, had deliv- ered the mvocation, addresses were made by Honor- able George W. Marshall, M.D., for the Trustees; ex-President George A. Harter, Ph.D., for the Faculry; dege Victor B. Woolley, LL.I., for the Alumni; and enry Ridgely, Esq., for the State Board of Education. The exercises of the morning closed with the formal installation of President Mitchell, and his response. The dedication of the Women's College buildings and the installation of Dean Robinson took place on the campus of the Women's College at two o'clock in the afternoon. Governor Charles R. Miller presided. After the cornerstone had been laid by The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Delaware incimt Free and Accepted Masons, Reverend George Edward Reed, .1, read a passage from the Secriptures and offered prayver. The keys of the buildings were then presented by the contractors to Governor Miller, who in turn presented keys and buildings to the Board of Trustees through their representative, Honorable E. C. Johnson. Immediately following the dedication of the buildings and their acceptance by the Board of Trustees, Winifred J. Rebinson, Ph.ID., was installed as Dean by President Mitchell. In her response, Dean Robinsn stated the ideals and the policy of the new institution. Gifts to the College were next acknowledged by Mrs. A. ID. Warner, The formal exercises of the afternoon were closed with an address by Mrs. Lois Kimball Matthews, Ph.D., Dean of Women at the University of Wisconsin. At the close of the formal exercises, American Flag Council No. 28, Junior Order United American Mechanics, of Newark, presented an American flag to the Women's College. The presentation address was made by Reverend Alfred Brooks, and the flag was accepted by Honorable Chauncey P. Holcomb. lhe benediction was pronounced by Reverend Francis H. Moore. m THE INSTALLATION OF THE PRESIDENT Cuartes M. CurTis, Chancellor of Delaware N behalf of the Board of Trustees of Dela- ware College, and in its name, 1 hereby install you, Samuel Chiles Mitchell, Ph.D., as Pres- ident of Delaware College, and bestow on you all the rights and powers of the office and impose on you all its duties and responsibilities. In token whereof I give into your hands the keys of the Colleges, a sym- bol of your responsibility to keep watch that none enter here unprepared, or depart hence unhrred. 1 also deliver to you the Charter and by-laws of the corporation, the source of your authority and your guide in the use of it. Having full confidence that your powers will be exercised with wisdom, courage, and patience, and your duties performed with fidelity, zeal, and efficiency, and pledging you the support, loyalty, and co-operation of the Trustees, the Fac- ulty, the Alumni, and the students, we look forward hopefully to a realization of the high aims entertained for the upbuilding of this institution of learning for the young men and women of the State of Delaware. BLUE HEN S INAUGURAL ADDRESS STRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF DELAWARE COLLEGE SamuieL Curires Miteneir, Ph.D. Mr. Chancellor, Ladies and Gentlemen: HESE words of welcome and encouragement move me deeply. The weight of responsibility in accepting the keys of Delaware College is more than I could bear, had 1 not these assurances of the hearty co-operation of Faculty, Trustees, and Alumni in working out the senious tasks before us, We have histened, my friends, to a series of signally able addresses, and the keynote of all of these has been to interpret the constructive purrlposes of the State in terms GF education and service. I am glad that these ntlemen have shown that this institution is a growth, ne of our distinguished guests is fond of repeating the maxim, Mothing great as great begins. It may be truly said of the founders of Delaware College that they builded better than they knew. Structurally the College embodies the ideal for an institution of this kind in an American commonwealth. This appears from many points of view. The College 1s fortunate in its location in a beautiful region of farm country, made easily aceessible by two trunk lines of railway. The community of Newark by reason of irs culture and character furnishes an admirable setting for a College which is to inspire youth with ideals of growth and of service through truth and freedom. lts situation on the Mid-Atlantic seaboard has many advantages as regards temperate climate and inher- ited traditions of refinement and achievement. Placed virtually on the Masen and Dixon Line, Delaware 1s nntinnaf in spirit and scope, able to interpret aright what is best in the North and what is best in the South in helping to make the American mind. The bases of the College are laid on granite in that it is a State institution buttressed by Federal funds and now beginning to receive the generous support of its alumni and the friends of education. Thus, whereas its ownership and control are single, centering whally in the State of Delaware, the support of the College is three-fold, representing a union of the resources of the State, the Marion, and endowment. An analysis of these three resources of income is encouraging. When Delaware College was reopened in 1870, the income from the Federal Government was less than $5.000. Today, the total income from the Nation is $85,000, and this amount will increase for the next seven years at the rate of $1,281. 5o gratifyving have been the resules of this investment in educavion along agn- cultural and scientific lines by the National Govern- ment that we may confidently expect this sum to grow from decade to decade. The financial history of the College shows thar the State of Delaware has put its shoulder to the wheel. At frst the appropriations by the Legislature were intermittent; now they are continuous and inereas- ing. The establishment of the Women's College at an outlay of $150,000 by the very Legislature which honors us with its presence ac this time 15 an infalh- ble proof that the State has embraced this institu- tion in its affections and hopes. Equally significant is the fact that public-spirited men and women both among the Alumni and the friends of education are giving gcnerously of their means to strengthen the College in its noble work of training citizens in a dcmotmy The gift of the Joe Frazer Athletic Field, one of the most beaurtiful in America, marked an epoch in the life of the Col- lege. The effores in behalf of the Alumni Endowment are indicative not only of the growing usefulness of the College, but also of sound statesmanship among its triends in seeking to achieve the higher purposes of the commonwealth through education. The spinit of CD-tJPtrdtlUl'l on the part of various civie Grganlzallnns in the building of the Women's College only confirms the belief that the two colleges are destined to enjoy the increasing support of the people of the State, Delaware stands alone in concentrating all of its agencies for higher education at one point. The advantages of this plan both as regards economy and efficiency are apparent. Such concentration, how- ever, implies outreach to every part of the State. The unification of educational agencies at Mewark will mean little unless there is effective co-operation on the part of the College with all the forces in the life of the State making for progress. Happily the spirit of co-operation has been a signal feature in the recent growth of the College. Witness the manifold activities of the Department of Agriculture. Just now it 15 plac- ing in each of the three counties a competent man who will seek to enrich rural life. Very soon a capable woman will likewise undertake similar extension work in home economics. The lectures, bulleting, and exten- sp THE BLUE HEN sion courses which the Faculty are carrying forward, all go to show that the soul of the College 1s service, elaware College will fail in its mission unless as a result of its activities every acre of ground in the State ields a richer harvest, unless all breeds of stock on the g,arm are improved, unless the varied industries are quickened with new initiative and power, unless the life of the home is sweetened, unless all the schools are srrcnithcned. and unless the churches and all the agen- cies that make for a sound social and moral life are re- inforced. The influence of the College should tend to string with energy the arm of every worker and impart a noble idealism to the thought of every citizen. In fine, the task of an American college is to make publicists. When men and women have public-mindedness, all re- forms accomplish themselves through growth and self- renewal of social agencies. The Amencan college has faith in the force of an idea. It truses in truch wich all ies subtle potency and lasting power. ldeas alone endure. Early one morning 1 climbed to the height of the tower of the Milan Cathedral in order to get :Et majestic view of the Alps spread out in semi-circle, just as the peaks were lighted up by the rays of the rising sun. Here was the pyramid form of the Matterhorn. There was the white bosom of Mont Blanc. While I stood transfigured by this vision, I heard beside me the tapping of a mason's tools. When I turned and asked him what he was do- ing, he said he was fitting a piece of marble tracery into a niche,according to the plans of the archirect. Dead the architect was, hundreds of years ago, and vet here in the rwentieth century 1 was beholding his idea embodied in marble by the hands of that workman. This is a tense moment in the history of mankind. We can almost hear the crash of the cannon-balls as they fall upon doomed Antwerp, and the fate of that ancient city is only a symbol of the martyred nation of Belgium. The events that are now taking place in Europe, while they fill our hearts with anguisg, empha- size as never heg-;re the moral mission of America. We have cherished hitherto the freedom of our nation and its independent role in the affairs of mankind. This path outlined by Washington has brought Amer- ica to a moral prestige unique in the annals of mankind. So big with import is this fact that it furnishes occa- sion for solemn thought rather than national compla- ceney. Once I had the pleasure of worshipping in St. Giles in Edinburg, Scotland. My mind was wholly taken up with the historic scenes centering in that ancient edifice. Yonder was the table upon which the fathers signed the Covenant. Memories of John Knox erowded thick upon me. The venerable minister devoted a large portion of his prayer to our country, concluding with this ringing sentence: God grant that America, as she is eminent in position, so may she ever continue to be in moral power. That peti- tion voices the most fervent hopes of vour hearts. America is not so many millions of square miles. All the great states have been territorially small. Witness Palestine, Greece, Switzerland, Holland, England. America is not so many millions of population. No, it is none of these. America is rather a tremendous idea in process of realization. This idea involves equality of opportunity for all, the worth of the average man, a deeper sense of human brotherhood, and a passionate desire to promote peace among the nations of the earth. In the presence of such a rask facing our coun- try, the College must energize all the moral forees in the life of America. It must temper the mind of yvouth with seriousness as regards responsibility, and with sympathy as regards the progress of the race, I had the pleasure once of hearing Joseph Chamber- lain address a vast meeting in the Litnyal Albert Hall in London, in the interest of greater solidarity for the British Empire. Behind him on the platform sat more than two hundred members of Parliament, and oppo- site the speaker's stand was a streamer with this legend upon it: Learn to Think Imperially. Re- cent events which fill with anguish the heart of man enjoin upon American vouth concern for a wider solid- zrity-tg:r brotherhood of man: Learn to Think Internationally, Viewing. then, the past of Delaware College and encouraged by all the forces of growth in the past, we may well beg that Heaven's benediction shall be upon all of those who have borne the burden and heat of the day, who have fostered this child of the common- wealth for the noble career of service that stretches out before it. Especially upon the Alumni, Trustees. Faculty, and above all upon Dr. George A, Harter, as leader and inspirer of the College and of the people of this State to give full effect to personality through training, may we invoke the blessing of an all-wise Providence, who planted this institution, that He may guide it into ever-expanding fields of truth, freedom, and service. THE BLUE HEN EEE Y ADDRESS ACCEPTING THE BUILDINGS WOMEN'S COLLEGE OF DELAWARE Evererr C. Jounson, Member of the Board of Trustees CCASIONS such as this offer striking proof that dreams do come true. Steeped in the practical complexities of this work-a-day world, we men are forced to admit that the Ideals of yesterday are the Realities of today. Boasted conservatism in its self- satisfaction fails too oft to sense the needs and demands of these quick changing times. This decade's Ideal, be- ing here today projected into a living Idea, brings its lesson of regret for our lack of foresight. 1t forces, how- ever, an appreciation of our responsibility, and, tremb- ling with its possibilities, we see a civic duty, strongly im- posed. Those who sensed the need, and with an initiative made possible this day, may well feel proud of a master achievement. The Women's College of Delaware is no longer a dream; its need, no longer a theory; its advisa- bility, no longer a question. Itisa beautiful, iving fact. And of this fact, vital in its import, the State has a right to be proud only in the realization that it has rendered simple justice to that part of its people in whose keeping rests most largely the destiny oPBclawart,s tomorrow, Success in recent events attending the entering class and today's enthusiasm, cause us to lay aside regrets for our past neglect and urge us to strongly resolve that chis Institution shall so claim our thought and attention that we may honor well the task imposed. We acknowledge today the demand, and accept the opportunity for public service. The State has builded wisely and well. You, Gen- tlemen of the Assembly, whose vote made this justice possible, m:lly feel already just pride in yvour wisdom, Your act will have a social and economic effect in every community in the State. You, the Governor of Dela- ware, to whom came the honor of fxing the official signature to the bill, have by this act and similar acts, stamped already wvour administration as The Educational Advance. X;rm ladies who presented this Ideal, and caused execution of this event, may well wear your laurels. Mothers' dreams are the true things in life after all. You, Members of the Commis- sion, into whose hands fell the exacting details, have right reason to be proud of this construction. Yours was a difficult task. With the divergent sentiment, the interested criticism of the State upon you, your success 15 no small compliment. Your administration of public funds is worthy of emulation. El he State Institution is typically American, For- tunes of birth or circumstanee, creeds old and of a newer day, are favored here with equal opportunity. The girl from the farm is welcomed with the girl of cultured social position. The State Institution furnishes not a finishing school for the drawing room of life, but a preparation for living that life wherever circumstances may dictate. '1Fhe Institution is now a fact. To the members of the Board of Trustees comes the duty of carrying the thoughts upon which it is founded into practice. Those of you who have made this day possible must transfer the idea to other hands with a sense of regret, You well have reason to question the wisdom of your successors in their administration of the work you have begun. While we as Trustees a Preciate the opportunity, we realize that its res'mnsill:tlitics are of no mean proportions. To take up the thread of your thought and realize a social service to the Srate will require study and insight worthy of our best energy. To be a member of suci a Board of Trustees and wor- thy of the name is no empty honor. To keep ever in mind irs state-wide scope and interest, requires a breadth of view that absorbs the tone of the educa- tional world. To assist in moulding the policy of administration, to select those men and women who are to teach within these halls, challenges more than ordinary thought. Toso catch the trend of the times as by our serviee to make an impress on the future life of the State answers sufficiently for the ambition of any man. This is no idle task. We realize that the State will warch our every act. Y ou must realize, too, that although you are placing the administration in our hands, vour advice is needed. Your work, although nobly conceived is not yet done. Success has not been attained but only made possible. The Delaware College for Women is today yours in fact as well as in theory, We must expect a continuance of vour loval interest and practical aid. With that our success makes for happier homes, nobler women, betrer citizenship, truer service. By virtue of the invitation of your Commission, 1, as a member of the Board of Trustees, with appre- ciation, accept these buildings. Dedicared o Truch, I believe 1 speak for the Board when I pledge such ser- vice as shall finish the work here so nobly begun. May this Institution, serving the future mothers of Dela- ware, be the lengthening shadow of our betrer selves. ACKNOWLEDCMENT OF COLLEGE GIFTS Mgrs. A. D. WarNER, Member of College Commission N acknowledging College gifts today you must permit me to express the deepest grdtltude for the gifts of good spirit, of personal service, of C0-0 eration, t:f beneficient blessings, for all have been vital factors in forwarding this splendid achievement of the Women's College. A leal in our history records the day when Dr. Harter some four years ago addressed the New Century Club in Wilmington and advocated the cause of Higher Education for the Women of Delaware in an affiliated college similar to Radcliffe and the Women's College in Brown University. Later, Miss Mather, president of the Delaware Association of College Women, proposed that a college for the voung women of Delaware become a definite object of work for the women, and rcsulutmm serting forch the plans were adopted. This suggestion met with prompt and hearty response and the fire once kindled quickly spread through the Federated Clubs, It was also endorsed by the Women's Christian Temperance Unions and the Delaware Suffrage Associations. Soon afterward the State Board of Education and the State Grange became loyal adherents and these were the men and women who gathered together and unfurled the banner for The $aE'nnw:n .hz College. During the presidency of the Srare Federation of Clubs of Mrs. John C. Robinson and also of the present incumbent, Mrs. 5. J. Reynolds, educational In Wilmington rallies have been held over the State. Professors Hayward, Twitmyer and Berlin, and Mr. E. C. Johnson spoke in earnest advocacy of the pro- ject. In Lewes the State fai:dl'l.g!: devoted a special session to the calle?;e discussion, at which Governor Pennewill, Mr. G. B. Hynson, and Mr. Coale, with club representatives, spoke in its interests. Later, a memorable day was held in Dover when Governor Miller honored us by his presence and earnestly said, 1 hope before my administration is over thar Dela- ware will provide a college for 1ts young women. His wishes have been realized, the dream has come true, and all honor to our Governor for his loyaley and noble services in this high cause as President of our Women's College Commission. Inclanwm.nr1 1913, the Board of Trustees of Dela- ware ullege made provision in their new charter for the Women's College and the State Board of Educa- tion drafred the Women's College Bill; so we are grateful o buth bodies fur such assistance and also for the services rendered in securing the enactment of the Bill by Dr. Marshall, President pro tempore of the Senate, and Mr, Holcomb, Speaker of the House. We acknowledge, ton, the presence of Miss Lida Stokes King, Dean of Women in Brown University, who gave an able address before the Delaware Assem- bly at our hearing on March 17, when our cherished Bill was in peril. Then on the night of March 19, when the clouds of doubt surrounded us on account of financial reasons, three friends, Dr. Twitmyer, Pro- fessor Hayward, and Mr. E. C. Johnson, stood faith- fully by. On March 20 the College Bill finally Easscd the Senate, and on March 31 the Governor made it a wEEEEE-E72 THLE BILUL HEN e law with this little pen. Mrs. Wamer exhibited the n used by Governor Miller in signing the Bill On $ne 16, 1913, we broke ground with this spade Mrs. arner exhibited the spade. presented by Mr. 5. . Wright and Dr. Twitmyer read appropnately from Proverbs. So we have the aFen to symbolize right thinking, the spade for right doing, and the Bible for righteousness. Such are the eternal rocks upon which we are built. Hence we acknowledge gratefully this splendid gift to the womanhood of the State and con- gratulate the last Assembly on this noble and enduring monument it has reared. For Fiving Opportunities in education liberally and wisely shall be as bread cast upon the waters: it shall return afrer many days. The world moves by heart throbs, says Emer- son, and this realization of the Women's College has stirred many hearts in an ever widening circle. The munificent bequest of Dr. Twitmyer has already been acknowledged by our Governor; so 1 will only add a word of appreciation. The Delaware Association of College Women, the Wilmington High School Alum- nae, and the State Federation of Women's Clubs have each given a scholarship of $100. The scholarships have been accepted by three students. Room fur- nishings have been presented by the Newark, Middle- town, MNew Castle, Laurel, Seaford, Dover, and Georgetown Clubs, New Castle County, Kent Counry and Sussex County Women's Christian Temperance Unions, and the Delaware Suffrage Associations. The Browsing Room was presented by Misses Mather and Smythe, the Vassar Eulle e Room, guest room, and pictures by Mrs. E. Tatnall Warner, the Infirmary by Mr. and Mrs. William P.

Veritably the Women's College may be called. the House of Gifts and it shall become an everlasting Power House from which shall radiate light, culture, and true progress from which life shall flow more abundantly. In closing I must add a personal word of apprecia- tion of the splendid efforts of my associates in the Women's College Commission,Governor Miller, Dr. Marshall, Mr. Holcomb, Mr. Wright, and Professor Hayward and Dr. Twitmyer, our late comrade, who LUE HEN oY after valiant duty fell by the wayside. All have per- formed high and worthy service and sincere gratitude is due them. Also to the men who have laid the foundation stones, who have cemented the bricks and driven the nails, all honor to them for their integrity of workmanship and their steady industry. If obsta- cles came in our way, that was but natural in the course of human events; it was for us to rise above them, to mount the step higher and artain the supreme end. This has been achieved, citizens of the State; behold here stands for the vears to come that which we dedi- cate, with the blessings of God, your Women's College of Delaware.

The actions of these youths were very ungentlemanly, and we soon washed our hands of themwith the college hose. For several days afrer our arrival we were greatly bothered by the above mentioned pests, but hnally we settled down to work. Perhaps the three things that especially distinguish a class are size, athletic ability, nndpla.et but not least, a willingness to do for their Alma Marer, The class of 1918 is by far the largest class that ever entered Old Delaware, For various reasons, we have lost about twenty of our number, and our total at the present time will reach eighty-five. Be- cause of our vast majority, the Sophs have found that it is to their advantage to keep hands off and with the exception of an eccasional shower we have been little molested. The athletic ability of the eighteen class is one of its greatest assets. The fact that all Delaware Varsity teams, with the exception of basketball, had Freshmen l THE BLUE HEN Es representatives goes to prove this facr. We might also say that the results of our class gpames would add strength to our above mentioned statement. The 6-0 defeat of the Sophs football team caused great joy. in the Freshman camp. This victory was fol- lowed closely by others, among which were the class basketball game; the Indoor Class Meet, and the Inter-Class gI'r;u:Ic Meer. In regard to our scholastic standing, our inate modesty refrains us from speaking. The professors are hetter acquainted with trnis topic, or at least that is what some of us think, than we ourselves are. It would not be amiss, however, to say that some of our ambitious members copped several of the choice prizes. Mitch, the orator of our class, deserves honorable mention for capturing two firsts , The first general assembly of our class was held a few days previous to the rush. To repeat all thar was said and done at this meeting would be impossible At the close of the said assembly, however, Ernie Wilson had been elected to lead we green Freshies for the first vear. Chet Smith, M. Mitchell and THE BLUE HEN BSE Bus Bowen were the other chosen executives. Under this leadership we have greatly pmli'ered. Probably the brightest feature of our Freshman ear was our class banquet. This was some feed. lEhe get together spirit at this affair was enough to make the famous class of '96 envious. A week before the fnals Ernie sounded last call for the Freshmen. All responded with a will. Howard Bratton, a stalwart youth of six feer, was selected as a suitable man to lead our attack upon the coming Freshies . We do not mean this to intimi- date our prospective voungsters, bur merely as a warning. Historias, CLASS ROLL ALperson, Jouw HartzeLL, Wilmington, Del., A. S.

Aided by the solicitous mem- bers of the class of 1913, they arrayed themselves for the opening brush wicth those second vear Fresh- men the Sophomore Class. Twas but a brush indeed; for there on the hallowed rostrum of the Ora- tory we outboxed and outwrestled the Sophs in nearly every bout. Ask 'em. nd thus began our college careers. As time went on, we grew to feel more a part of Old Delaware. In scholarship we were up to the average; in athletics we held our own. One nightbut why rub it in! If you wish to know the story, first make out vour last will and testament, then ask some quiet-looking member of the Class of 1916 to tell you about that big 17 which grinned down at him from the Soph poster that morning when he retired at 4 2. m. Yes, we lost the football game and the basketball game to the Sophs. By way of diversion, however, we won the baseball game from our natural enemies. But the Seniors overawed us, and won the college champion- ship, Our Freshman Relay Team surprised every one by winning the relay of the Inter-Class Meet and breaking the college record for the event. In Febru- ary we held our Freshman Banquet at the Hotel Du Pont in Wilmington. About twenty-five men were on hand to partake of the Du Pont's best and discuss class and college affairs. It was indeed a swell affair and served admirably to strengrhen the organi- zation of the Class of 17. When college opened in September, 1914, the class numbered twenty-eight. Seventeen of our first-year eompanions had dropped out and six new men had joined us, With these twenty-eight men we endeavored to teach the Freshmen how to sing and make stump speeches; how to salure members of the upper classes; and how a red and green cap could be most becomingly worn. Furthermore, we felt it our dury to impress upon these uncouth lads the fact that black or gray ! neckwear and hosiery are much more refined than those vulgar, flashy creations imported from down hum , and that smoking on the campus is for such youngsters, a nasty, filthy habit, Thus did we strive nobly to elevate to a higher plane those eighty-two irresponsible Freshmen, It is with regret thar we do here chronicle the fact that owing to the intervention of the gods in behalf of the Fresh we failed to win the class rush, the class football and basketball games, and the indoor meet. In the class baseball game, however, our natural prowess asserted itsell and we won hands down. VYErSgE THE BLUE HEN Efg L And now two vears of college life have sped by, We have met and overcome difficulties in the class- room and on the athletic field.

However, three years am three yearsin other words, it's been a long, long way to Tipperary. And now to che subject before the Duma. Hazo Barton or any other chronicler of ancient events will tell you that Seprember 11, 1912, was an epoch mak- ing date in the IEisl:ury of Delaware. You know there comes a tide in the affairs of men, which if taken at the flood leads to marriageours led to college. Fifry strong, the flower of Delaware, Maryland, Selbyville, Dagsfg:um. Northeast and Charlestown and vicinity, we hegan the assault on Old Delaware's ramparts, This number also included a few foreigners, a fellow from New York and one or two from ?hiladeiphia. Right away we were led to the slaughter. Doc Sypherd's room was the place where we enacted our first Nathan Hale an entrance examination in English Comp . We shall never forget our first impression of dear old Doc. He looked to us like a cross between an English Lord and a French Noble- man of the Bourbon period. We have often waon- dered what was missing in Doc's makeupthar is, besides his hair. It must have been a wrist watch. But all in all, Doc was our best friend. Though he has slashed many a theme to our sorrow he has impressed upon us the necessity of good English and should we fail to derive benefit from all of our other courses we shall at least be fortified with a knowledge of English as it should be spoke . After Doc reduced our ranks about 2097, the Spartans remaining took up the burden of making the ch:lnss of 1916 the worthy rival of the famous class of '96. QOur Freshman year was a long series of victories. In fact we won everything but a box of cigars ar the Firemen's Carnival. Then along with June and mar- riages came the fnals. Some of our number fin- ished while others fell by the wayside. And what rare fellows were among the alsos. Larry Rigney, Hirshman, Joe Horty and many mare left us never to return. On you, our weaker brothers, in dreaming of times gone hy, we turn our thoughts, hoping that in the battle of life the sterling qualities thar you displayed in our midst have enabled you to make your mark. As Henry James would say, Our Sophomore Year was truly victorious. Instead of doing unto others as was atiempted to be done to you , we treated ! i v Vv ESEEpa THE BILUE HEN the Freshmen as human beings should be treated. Incidentally we showed our superiotity in athletics. The play given by our class entitled The Worsted Man was our crowning social success of the year. It was this play that brought to light such Terpsi- chorean Stars as Beef Eamsey. limmy Bray- shaw and Soapy Morrison. As is generally the case in the course of human events, our Sophomore year was followed by the unior year, This was the year of years. OQur unior ' Prom will never be forgotten. In fact, several of us still owe three dollars. In a way it was ludicrous too. For instance, Jim Brayshaw smoked a cigarette. Jim , the boy who began his college career in short trousers and who, unafraid of the temp- tations of the world, was boldly led by the hand of his mother into Recitation Hall. Yes, and Jimmy will even get a vote some day even if the bill was recently defeated in New Jersey, And now we have started our last quarter. Our ranks look as if they had been sh:-ul:ere3 by a volley of shrapnel. However, what we lack in numbers we make up in curiosities. For instance, Barnum never had a team compared to the Giraffe Twins , Newton and Wills. If either ever gets a black eye he will look like a needle. Every time Newton puts one foot up, somebody takes him for a stork. And then there is Beef Ramsey. He is solid from his shoulders up. Never shall we forget the night of our Freshman Banquet when Beef walked into the DuPont Cafe and ordered an ice cream with a straw, That straw broke the camel's back. While dealing with curiosities, it is no more than fitcting that a word be said concerning our own dear John Wesley Jones. He is an addition, not a natural growth. If Johnnie's body was built in proportion to his ideas, he would make Hercules look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Then there's Little Willie Martin. Doc Vaughnhe with the jokes so old that they are new againsaid that cutside of his own repertoire he considered only two things funny in his whole life. One is Charley Chaplin and the other 15 Little Willie . As a good fellow, Willie is a fine violin player. And now with apologies to the Profs and Curiosities mentioned, all is said and done. Time will soon ring the gong to announce the fall of the curtain on our college careers. Some of us will go forth and die a natural death,others of us will just pet married. Some few will climb the golden ladder and eat Fame's golden apples. On these, in future times will we, the mediocre, bestow the laurel wreath of victory. Life is just what we make it. God has given us the opportunities. It is up to us to sink or swim, We have tasted of the good things in life; as et we have put nothing back into the world which as been so good to us. Now the die is cast. Respon- sibilities are to be thrust upon us. Let us shoulder them. Don't make excuses, make good. Let us emblazon the name of the class of 1916 not only in the annals of Old Delaware but also in the history of the world's work, The stuff is in us, and vou can never beat a man who will not be beaten.

After a fair tnal, however, we realized that we could describe him by the use of his favorite remark, Well, I guess you've got the stulf. He has been a hard worker in all of his studies, a fact which accounts for his capruring the mathematics prize in his Sophomore vear. It was through the effort of Blummie and a brainy Sophomore that STifs unapproachable svstem of chemistry symbols was doped out, He s alsn some electrician. The Licutenant realized this ability and raised him from private unassigned to Sergeant of the Signal Caorps, a position which requires some skill in being able to look wise and buzz around. Our class owes him a generous vore of thanks for the electric light effect at the Junior Prom.

The country has a serong faseination for him and he was seen down around Kennedy- ville quite often this summer looking over the farms for his special line of farm fruit called chickens. Since College reopened, however, his interest in the feathered flock takes him no further down Depor Boad than the Women's Col- lege. Connie is one of the famous roughneck Civil Six of the 1916 class.

Mr. Evrror-in-Cuier:When you asked me to write a history of the notable doings of the Honorable Class of 1915, you stipulated that my essay should be interesting and readable. Fie upon thee, uncultured engineer! No one but a Hun, a Goth, a Vandal would have suggested such a thing. Know, then, that when humor, pathos, or any other human element finds its way into a history, the work becomes degraded and sinzs to the level of mere literature. The writing is no longer a history: it is a legend or tradivion. It becomes the fit prev of school-boy critics and other birds of carrion. Fair History must not be defiled by the touch of the Magdalene, Literature. Have we, the enlightened, spent four years at the feet of Dr. X and not learned tEar. History, the story of the strivings, the aspirations, the passions of humanity must be told in a stilted, passionless, dry-as-dust style? To under- stand the mighty deeds ::-fya freedom-loving Wallace, we must dissect him, nor sympathize with him. All authars' tricks to arouse our sympathies and interest must be vigorously combarted.

And thou, fair goddess, Dr. X, who sittest enthroned on an iceberg, guide my feeble pen! Let me not be as this publican is! May my essay be as uninteresting and unreadable as all true history should be! Cuarrer L Being a Formal Iniroduetion, Designed to Give Coher- ence, Thereby Winning the Approval of Dr. 8. I can have no better opening than a quotation from an eminent fellow-historian. All gall is divided into three parts. Herr Breitkopf, the famous German black-smith has tabulated the divisions of gall as follows: GALL Owned by BREL i i ms i e lesa of 1894 PREGR s w i ety ettt oo Mk oF 1914 Division The second chapter of this work will treat of the coming of the Honorable Class of 1915 to the college, and will show how they overcame the owners of the second part of gall. The third chnr-liter will deal with the titanic struggles berween the Honorable and the owners of the tgitd part of gall. The fourth chapter shall show the decline and fall of the Honorable. The baneful influence of the owners of the first part of gall has been manifest throughout our history, They have pre-empted our proper title of Famous and have even presumed to instruct us. We shall say no more about these first gallish people lest we be censored., Cuarrer 11 Showing How a Band of Mighty Men Came to These Classic Shades, In the early autumn of the year 1911, a brilliant group of men assembled in Newark. They had come from the farthest borders of our broad state. By that infallible instinct that enables one gentleman to recognize another as a kindred soul, they speedily became one united body. They next organized them- selves as the Honorable Class of 1915. The aborig- ines had never before seen such superior men. Through the motley rabble of primeval savages and much to their amusement strode a Prince of the House of Nassau. His majesty later took residence in Poverty Row. Others of the blond invaders were L-, the descendant of lrish Kings, the Viking Walter Fair- hair, the Dutch Agitator Herman, several incipient parsons, many hormy-handed sons of toil, two navi- ators of the briny Brandywine, sundry Smiths and oneses, a married man, and myself. Such talent, such brilliance, wrtue and wvalor, Gentle Reader, are not often found in so small a group of men. What wonder that the natives became envious! Before our heroes had settled themselves in the strange land, they were aroused by the aggressions of the Class of 1914, This class was a tribe of pre- historic savages noted for their ferocity and mean dispositions. Of them suffice it to say that they possessed the second part of the gall referred to in Chapter 1, Paragraph 1, Sentence 2. Taking advan- tage of our simple cunEdlng natures, they sold us chapel seats, hooks we didn't want, wardrobes, ancient uni- forms, radiators, and other arocles of acttire, Angered by these outrages, we declared war. Then came Armageddon, e defeated the hosts of '14 in the Clnssalush. The battle of the Foothall Field resulted in a draw. The enemy defeated us at Basketball and Baseball. In return we routed them at the Indoor Meet and at Track. Thus the war ended slightly in our favor. We then magnanimously signed a treaty of perpetual peace. In the arts of peace we also prospered. We per- formed with dignity the humble duties of freshmen. After the midyear examinations several of our heroes at the request of the faculty folded their tents like the Arabs and silently stole away. The purifying process thus left us the elite of the elite, double-distilled perfection. Abour this time we showed our devotion to the flesh-pots of Egypt by holding a thearre-parey and banquet in Wilmington. This incident is given to prove thar although we were all honorable men, we could yet unbend and take pleasure in the simple and childish pastimes of college men. The Aggies had taken up their four-years' tussle with real-estate; the engineers had begin to be civil or uncivil, according to whether they had Robby or not; and the Arts and Science men were already picking cinch courses. S0 ended the first period of the life of the Honor- ables. We had firmly established ourselves in the Promised Land and had waged successful war. THE BLUE HEN EESEsS Cuarrer II1. Containing An Account of the Fearful Struggle with the Gallant Hosts of 1916, The next period of our national life was distin- guished by aggressive warfare. At the outset of the vear 1912-1913, we were called upon to reduce a new and arrogant race, the Class of 1916. This tribe had come to our shores and threatened to exterminate us. The Class of 1916 were the owners of the third parr of the gall referred to in Chapter 1, Paragraph 1, Sentence 2. Their waspish dispositions were roused by our innocent pranks, our bargain sales of ward- robes, bath-robes, microbes, and the dainty little bathing suits used by those who would swim in the pool. 5T N.:y were not content to buy but insisted on seizing our natural rights by force of arms. We there- fore declared war. We opened the campaign with a victory at the Class Rush. The enemy retaliated with a crushing defeat on the Football Field. We rallied and hurled them back at the Indoor Meet. Our ammunition Fail- ing us, they triumphed at Basketball We almost retrieved ourselves on the Track, but were decisively beaten at Baseball. This battle concluded hostilities. We signed a treaty with them and became, as befits the conquered, enthusiasts for peate at any price. This period closes the era of our war-like glory. Although we were not annihilated as a military nation, we, as honorable men. were too proud to fight . 108 Crarter IV, Relating the Decline and Fall of the Honorable and Concluding Thir History, The final term, 1913-1915, comprises our junior and senior years. It includes our political decadence and death. That we had passed our zenith was shown by the fact that our eHE:rts at war were merely short- winded sorties. We no longer competed for the dominion of the college, Our history, however, was like that of all great nations, in that its period of political decadence was alse one of great literary and artistic activicy. What a ialax of artists, scientists, captains-of-industry, and other thirigs we produced. One of the Honorables, a mathematician without a peer, actually solved one of Robby's problems. The other engineers, civil and uncivil, immediately became green with envy and took out their spite on Robby. All the old, moss- covered jokes of ancient times were resurrected and hurled mercilessly at the head of the unoffending Robby. This circumstance gave birth to that type of literature known as Engineer's Satire, a clumsy, crude, barbaric brand of humor suited only to engi- neering intelligence, The Aggies gradually abandoned their interest in real estate and took up the study of chickens and drama. Their histrionic gambols are well-known. Their effores in c'hir:ken-stugy we leave to the imagi- nation of the reader. The Arts and Science men spent their time trying to show everybody how much they E: $ BEek THE were learning. To the Honorable belongs the credit of having introduced the chewing of tobacco. We forced severer methods of discipline in the battalion, We almost introduced the Honor System. We bearded Dr. X in his den. We induced Rhodes to shave. We produced the largest Company E the college has ever known. But why continue, If you will not by this time admit our claims to glory you never will. By the end of our senior year, even this literary and scientific glory had decayed. We felt old and worn. A new and stronger people had usurped our places in BLUE Then came our death-blow. The odious clack of fernale tongues resounded in our academic calm. We could do nothing in the face of this new terror excepr graduate. PROLEGOMENA Being an appreciation of this work.

And now a second class has begun its college life there. It is with an equal degree of pleasure that we accord these pages of the Blue Hen to these two classes. There seems to be a misunderstanding upon the part of some people thronghout the stare about the relation which -exists between the Women's College of Delaware and Delaware College. Some think that co-education is in practice. Such is not the case. The young ladies are located in separate and distinet buildings, have a campus and an athletic field of their own at fully half a mile's distance from the men's college. On Friday evening of each week the voung men are permitted to call ar the Women's College and are entertained in the reception rooms of Resi- dence Hall, the faculty of the college acting as fhap-em-ns.

These Agures speak for themselves and show the rapid scrides this course 15 making. . This increase n students is making necessary larger class rooms and ment. Two large green houses, which are used for cxperimental and student work, have been erected ar the rear of the campus. The college herd is increasing in number and value. The begin- ning of the herd was made in the fall of 1910 after the completion of the barn on the farm purchased in 1907 for the use of the college and experiment station. Since the beginning of the herd $10,000.00 has heen invested in Guernsevs and Guernseys amounting to 7,727.50 have been sold. At the present time there are in the herd Afty-Four head of Guernseys including twenty-five cows, twenty- one heifers, three herd bulls and five bull calves. These fifev-four head represent an investment of $2,372.50 or an average of $43.93 more equipe 151 HEN head, and are worth at the present time abour $5,000,00, hiz shows that o man can borrow monev oo invest in high grade stock and soon clear up the indebredness if he is a stock man 2nd knows cattle, In tEr lersey herd $1,225.00 has -been investod, and 81,870.00 worth of Jersevs sold, At che pFescnt time there are seven Jersevs in the herd including three young cows and four heifers. There has bwn 85,800,000 invested in horses, and sales have heen made amounting ro $4,70000. The farm now has nige head of horses comprising two Hackneys and seven Percherons, Farm sales from fruit amount vearly o beoween $3,000.00 and $3.500.00. Farm sales from live stock, fruie, erc., amount yearly to between S10,000000 and $15,000.00 so thar the college farm has been an mmportant factor in the success of the Agriculrural Depare- ment. - i Credin is due largely to the keen, forceful and energetic person- ality and the perseverance and courage of Prof, H, Hayward, dean of the I',l.gl'll'.'l.l'l,lllll1 department and director of the Experiment Sration, The Agnicultural Exvension work of the college is supported by a Federal appropriation known as the Smith-Lever fund., supplemented by Brate appropriations.

This paper, The Delaware Farmer, made its initial appearance in January, 1914, It has been and is the only agricultural paper published on the Peninsula. Articles are written by the professors and students and are both practical and applicable to Delaware conditions.

The 1913 team was composed of J. W. Houston, 15, W. B. Seward, 16, and L. G. Mul- holland, 16; and the 1914 team of A. G. Gibney, '15, J. H. Hopkins, Jr., 17, and G. Q. Smith, 16. Mul- holland, of the 1913 team, took the second sweep- stakes prize, winning the $400.00 De Laval Scholar- ship. l-fe was second high man in Guernseys. Smith, of the 1914 team, was second high man in judging Ayrshires. Mr. Paul Emerson, who graduated in Agriculture in 1914 and who received his Masters degree from Delaware College in 1915, received a research fellow- ship in Soil Bacteriology for the year 1915-16 at lowa State College, Ames, lowa. Mr. W. I. Brockson of the class of 19135 also secured a research fellowship in the Department of Agronomy at lowa State College. The fact that these two grad- uates from the Agricultural Department of Delaware College were awarded these scholarships by this insti- tution which holds a place in the front rank of the state colleges in this country stows that Delaware College graduates can successfully compete with the graduates of larger institutions.

S o o P AL e EOOmOS ATHLETICS BOOKN 1V TEIEE:QE$J THE BLUE HEN a7 ATHLETICS UR medern idea is thar athletics in some form are abso- lutely essential to the development of both mind and body. Hencein all large colleges and universities, athletics form an important branch in the education of the student. Delaware College 1s by no means behind the times and every effort has been mnse to provide for the education of the students in this respect. We are the proud possessors of a large, beautiful and up-to-date athletic helcp and a well equipped gymnasium, We are indebted for our athletic field to the kindness and generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Eben B. Frazer and their son, Mr. J. Stanley Frazer of the class of '04, who donated the field as a memorial to their son and brother, Joseph H. Frazer who was raduated from the college in 1903 and who died recently in FIsnnliw:'m while pursuing his duties as a civil engineer. 4 The field is one of the largest in the East and consists of a football field, baseball diamoni running track, jumping pits and tennis courts. The 229 vard straight-away and the fact that the foothall playing field, the baseball diamond, the jumping pits and the tennis courts are distinct from one another are features of the athletic held. The gymnasium is large and affords ample means for indoor orts. In the basement of the gymnasium are the lockers, Eum:r baths and a swimming pool. Coaci Wu. J. McAvoy Nearly every student takes part in some branch of sport and even those who do not participate in athletics are mmELllcd to take a course in physical training. This course is under the super- vision of Wm. . McAvoy, our able and thoroughly capable physi- cal director and athletic coach. THE BLUE HEN B THE ATHLETIC COUNCIL YT HE first step taken by the faculty, alumni and students of Delaware College toward the rais- ing of the athletic standard was the formin of an athletic couneil. This couneil is composed o seven members, two of whom are members of the fac- ulty, two from the alumm and three from the studenrt bhody. For the scholastic vear of 1915-16 the mem- bers representing the faculty are Professors E. L. Smith and C. A. McCue. The president of the Alumni Association has appointed Dr. Walter H. Steel, '95, and Norris N. Wright, 11. The members from the student body are Gerald P. Doherty, of the Senior Class, Leroy B. Steele, of the Junior Class, and Donald P. Horsey, of the Soghomure Class. The ofhicers of the council are President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasures and General Manager. The council has direct charge of athletics ar Del- aware College and the care of Frazer Field. The General Manager arranges all athletic contests and takes charge of all property of the Athletic Associa- tion.

No matrer if Delaware was hopelessly behind, Hirsh was still fighting and plugging away. SUMMARY OF THE SEASON Manager, A, F. WALKER. Captain, A. C. Huston Coach, W. J.

SEASON OF 1913 In our Sophomore vear, our class had Groff, Foster, Vandergrift, Pepper, Taylar, Doherty, Crothers and Handy on the Varsity. Of these men, Groff, Foster, Pcpfl:u:r; Taylor and Handy made their letter. he team this year was light as in the preceding year but it was a fast, hard-hghting team and had a fairly successful season. Haverford beat us, 7-0, because they had a berter and heavier team, P. M. C. held us to a scoreless tie but their playing as well as their showing during the remainder of the season proved them a worthy foe. We defeated Temple, 28 to 0. All of our 28 points were made in the last 10 minutes. The team's play- ing was ragged and the final score should have been twice as large. After tying Catholic University 0-0, in Washington, the team journeyed to Hoboken and met defear at the hands of Stevens Institute, 14-0. The following week Washingron College won from us by the score of 13-0. Miserable tackling and defen- sive work lost the game for Delaware, Mt 5t. Mary's was the next team on the schedule. They expected to win by a 400 score, but the old Delaware Spirit was pre-eminent and we won by the score of 20-13. In the last game of the season we bucked up against Dickinson with the mighty Dunn and the wiry Gold- stein and lost 35-7. It was a hard fought game, and the work of the Blue and Gold againse such odds was won- derful. The fact that we scored a touchdown gave us almost as much satisfaction as a victory over some other opponent.

On the offense Handy, Taylor and Huston played the best games. On the defense, Huston, Cann, Carswell and Foster were a tower of strength to the team, Handy's show- ing, however, was such that Vic was easily the logical man for Captain and he was elected to All that position for the 1914 season. SEASON OF 1914 The season of 1914 was a successful one, our team winning seven of the nine games played. Our class had five men on the Varsity team, ga tain Handy, Crothers, Tavlor, Newton and Groff. All of these men made their 1 and they also figured in every vicrory, The scores of the games played were: Lafalyette, 41. Baltimore Poly. Institute, 6. Baltimore City College, 0.

Nevertheless the team pur up a plucky hght and gained much eredit for their showing. lLafaverte had a veteran team and had the advantage of several weeks of practice. This pame was the only defeat of the season. Baltimore lg'uly- technic, Baltimore City College and Temple Univer- sity proved soft pickings to our warriors. Pennsyl- vania Military College proved as usual a hard nur to crack bute they were unable to withstand the fierce attack of the Delaware team. The game with Stevens at Hoboken resulted in a tie, Although neither ream scored, Delaware clearly outplayed her opponents ar all stages of the game and had the breaks favored us we would have gained another victory. Catholic Uni- versity was the next vicum and though they expected an easy victory. our team outfought and outplayed them in every part of the game. The game with Western Maryland was easily the most exciting home ame of the season. There was verjy; litele to pick me either team and it was not until the referee's hinal whistle that the victory was assured. Western Mary- land proved to have both good players and good spores- men. There was not a decision of the referee or umpire disputed. We closed the season on Thanksgiving Day with the Carlisle Indian Reserves and found licele trouble in piling up a big score on the tricky Indians. THE PLAYERS POSITION AGE V. H.

The SEASON OF 1913 T tl'.IE' beginning of the season, our ream started off composed of Captain Sawdon, Rigney, first loss to the team was Rigney. Just as he was play- i g m his best form, he was revired from the game because his studies required most of his time. Soon after the team was going smoothly again, with Lacklen taking Rigney's place, Hirshman had w lay off for a few weeks with an injured foot. A new man, Thomas, was put in this place and flled it very creditably, but his lack of weight was a serious hand- icap. Although Rigney was out of a number of games he was the larpest scorer for Delaware; Lacklen was second, and Thomas third. During the latrer pare of the season several new men, including Doherty, Me- o R i Neal, Wills and Hill were put into the game. These . men -Shliwt'd the making of good plavers but lacked P experience.

Home SFASON CF 1914 The second half of this season was much better than the first half and the team deserved much credit for the fine skowing made in the last few games. Caprain Weimer played a hard game for Dela- ware all of the season. His floor work was exception- ally good while his shooting improved wonderfully during the last few games. Cann and Doherty proved to be two of the hest guards that ever plaved on a Delaware baskecball team. Their team work was wonderful throughout the season. Lacklen, H. Horsey and Wills all played a good game. Horsey was probably the fastest man of the trio, but his lack of weight was a great handicap. Thomas, Brockson, Geoghegan, T. Wilson, Bounds, Jones and Dean all worked Fard for the Scrubs. In a threc-pame series with the Newark High Schosl, Scholastic Champions, the scrubs won two of the three Home The hrst Varsity game of the season was with Susquehanna University, This team was a new one on our schedule. They were a bunch of clean players and true sportsmen. Superior weight told and Dela- ware went down to defeat. CQur second game resulted in a defear at the hands of Drexel Institute. Cur inability ro shoot fouls was the direct cause of the loss of this game.. We were victorious in the third game against Tem- ple University. The game was fast and only a spurt in the last few minutes brought Delaware the victory, Washington College defeated us twice, once at Chestertown and again at Newark, The team next took a three day trip to New York City to play Prart Insviture and St Euhn's College. Pratt was easily the strongest team we mer all season and we suffered defeat ar their court. The St. John's game was more closely contested. Ar the end of the game both teams were tied and an extra period of five minutes had to be played. Delaware had three chances to score in the extra period but fell down on easy shots and lost the game on a foul. The next game was with the strong Wilmington Y. M. C. A, team. The Wilmington hoys led at the close of the first half, but Delaware forged ahead in the second half and won out by a pood margin, The University of Pennsylvania Scrubs met defeat at our hands in a game in which our team showed its true worth. We closed the season with an easy victory over Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, 183 SEASON OF 1915 Although we started out with a veteran team, we lost our opening game to Temple by a one-sided score. Baltimore Polytechnic was our second opponent and they proved easy. Swarthmore handed us our second defeat in a game which showed the weak points in our team work and caused a shakeup in the team. Too much Prom was the cause of our defeat ar the hands of 5t. John's of Annapolis. Delaware looked like win- ners throughout the game but a couple of spectacular goals in the last few minutes of play snatched the vic- tory out of our hands. Our second victory was won over New York University Law School. The New Yorkers were soft and we had lictle trouble in defeat- ing them, We played Drexel on a strange court, strange in size, shape, appearance and in many other ways., We artribute our defeat to this fact and not to Drexel's superiority. Qur victory by a one-sided sCore over lgrexel on our own foor proved that such was the case. On our New York trip, we lost to Cres- cent Athletic Club and New York Ei i.' College. The game with Crescent was well plaved although we owe our defeat to our inability to locate the basker. In the game with City College, we were unable to stand the fast pace set by the ?Nh:w Yorkers and lost by a good margin. The team ended the season in a blaze of glory, winning three of the last four games, We defeated Drexel and then tackled the strong Susque- hanna fve. This game was a hard fought contest from start to finish and at the final whistle we were three points to the good. Our next game was with Washington College at Chestertown. We easily out- plaved Washington in the first half and were ahead when the half ended. Washington overcame our lead in the second half and at the end of the game we had the short end of the score. We wound up the season with Washington on our own floor and we again out- layed them. this time throughout the entire game. E:'h: seore plainly showed the relative merits of the two teams. Three men on the Varsity team were members of the 1916 class, Weimer, Wills and Doherty. Weimer proved a splendid player and his floor work was a valuable asset to the team. Wills playved a great game at center and made a wonderful record for shooting fouls. Connie was off form in this respect at the first of the season, bur his work in the last few games was directly responsi- ble for Delaware's victories over Drexel, Susquehanna and Washington, Doherty, the other member of the 1916 Class, and Captain Cann made a strong pair of guards and their defensive work was largely instrumental in keeping down the opponents scores. H. Horsey, Weimer's running marte ar forward, made up for his lack of weight in speed and proved invaluable to the team by reason of l:is excellent floor work and shooting, The scrub team comprised D. Horsey, Bounds, Bowen, Downing, Brockson, E. Wilson, Thomas and T. Wilson. The scrubs lost the series with Newark High School and then showed their class by defeating an all star team picked from the high schools of Wil- mington, SCORES SEASON OF 1914 SEASON OF 1915 Delaware, 14, Susuqehanna, 26.

We were especially pleased with our victories over two of our old rivals, 5t. John's College of Annapolis and Wzshinftun College. This was tgiu: first time we had defeated either team in any branch of sport for several vears. Both games were exciting and well played. It took seventeen innings to decide the game with St. John's. Our other victories were over Balumore Polytech- nic Institute, Rock Hill, Haverford B. B. C., Temple, Western Maryvland and the Alumni. We lost to Drexel, Swarthmore and Johns Hop- kins. The Drexel game proved a farce. Drexel fulrj,r expected defear but Delaware seemed determined to hand them the game and by tallul':$I advantage of Del- aware's misplays and by timely out victors. The Swarthmore game was well playved up to the eighth inning, wkten Delaware blew up and Swarth- more gathered four runs. It took 11 innings to decide the game with Johns Hopkins. Hopkins had a stron team but Delaware played a scrappy game and wit Hoch's splendid twirling deserved to win. Misplays at critical rimes spelled defear for Delaware, however, as Hopkins was quick to take advantage of every miscue on Delaware's part. Anctler feature of the season was the Alumm game. This was the first Alumni game in several sea- sons and it was due to the zealous efforts of several would be come-backs among the alumni that the game was revived. As there is always a large number iteing, they came of the alumni back during commencement week, it is a splendid means of again arousing their interest in athletics by having a IEaII game. fVE sincerely hope that the Alumni game will always be a part of the rogram for commencement week in the future. The old timers lost to the Varsity, but not, however, until they had shown faint traces of the old training they had received ar Delaware, qi'he team lined up with Lind, 14, third base Houchin, 13, left field Ward, '12, center field Beck, '13, second base Cann, 09, right field Taylor, 12, shortstop Actix, 12, right feld The scores of the games played durning the season: Delaware, 9; Baltimore Polytechnic, 3.

Doherty lead the team in hitting and Hoch was the mainstay in the hox. Wallace whao plaved on the 1913 team was Hoch's running mate in the box and he pitched great ball, Geoghegan, pitcher on the 1912-13-14 teams, covered hrst base and did it Huston, '14, catcher olls, 13, pitcher dgar, 10, first base 19 in grand style. Hop's timely hicting also figured largely in Delaware's victories. . Horsey, a Fresh- man, took Fidance's place ar second and made a decided impression by his clear fielding. Doherty covered shortstop and was captain of the team. Although he got a bad start in the feld, he settled down and his hitting and base running largely offset his fielding, Fidance was moved from semng to fill the hole ar third base and Mike, all around ball player that he is, more than made good. Mike's timely hictin scored many a run for Delaware. H. Horsey ans Gray proved to be efficient men in the outhield. Hor- sey was Delaware's one best bet in the outfield during the 1914 season and he duplicated his playing of that vear last season. Gray's hitting was a valuable asset to the team's offensive strength, while his fielding was of the dead sure variery. 'Daniel started our handicapped by having a responsible job to fll. Hus- 'been th ton had been the Varsity backstop four years and his graduation left a hig hole in the team. However, Mike came across and his hitting and pegging to bases stamped him as a reliable caccher, DeLaware CoLLece vs. St. Joun's oF AnNnNAPoLls May 26, 1915. 17 Innings The longest and one of the most exciting games ever played on the Delaware College field was thar between Delaware and 5t. John's College of Annapolis. The game went 17 innings before Delaware finally scored the only run of the game. 'Daniel was the man of the hour, cracking out a two bagger in the seventeenth and later scoring the winning tally, Neither pitcher gave a base on balls, while Hoch allowed but five hits in the seventeen innings. The game was replete with exciting plays, men being on the bases in nearly every inning and only hair-raising catches and stops prevented them from scoring. Both reams fielded exceptionally well, only three errors being charged to both teams, two against Delaware and one against 5t. John's. The score; 5.

Manning, '15, breaking the college record for the high jump and G. 0. Smith, 16, breaking the record for the broad jump. The season consisted of two dual meets, one with Gettysburg at Gettysburg and the other with Temple Umiversity at Newark, while the relay team ran in the Penn Relays. The best our team could do in the Penn Relays was to make third place. Maryland Agricultural College won in 3-39; Elminus was second, Delaware, third, and Albright, fourth. The team was composed of Crockett. Steele, Manning and Marshall. G. O. Smith, who equalled the Delaware record I . for the 100 yards, was entered in the inrer-collegiare IP Swimi, Carrain 1915 100 yard event but he failed to place.

The batcle field boys carried off first and second places in the pole vault, broad jump and shot put, and aided by the wonderful running of Bostock in the sprints, they won the meet 57 1o 42, Bostock, who holds the Middle Atlantic States A. A. U. record for the 100 and 220 i:ard dashes, defeated G. O. Smith, the Delaware lyer in both events, winning the hundred in 9 4-5 seconds. Manning of Delaware ran a good race in the hundred butr was beaten by a few feet. he mile run was sensational. Alec Crothers, the Blue and Gold football star allowed Storey of Gettys- burg to lead the feld for the first three laps and then passed him on the last lap and won in 5 minutes and 1-5 seconds. Another feature of the meet was the sensational hurdling of Dave Crocketr of Delaware. Crockert captured both hurdle events, breaking the Delaware record in each case. In the 120 yard high hurdles, he breasted the tape in 17 seconds, beating the former record of 18 3-5 seconds held by Archie Dean, cap- tain of last year's team. Crockett broke the record held by Dean in the low hurdles, taking the event in 26 3-3 seconds, 1 1-5 seconds better than the former record. G. O.

THE BLUE HEN CLASS BASKETBALL E are justly proud of the fact that our class has W wuon the Inter-Class Basketball championship for three successive years. In our Freshman year we defeated the Sophs, 2313, and the Juniors defeated the Seniors, 16-15. We defeated the Juniors for the championship, 32-2, the Juniors getting only two foul goals. In our Sophomore year we defeated the Freshmen, 19-6, and the Juniors bear the Seniors, 20-10. We defeated the Juniors for the championship by the score of 22-16. This game was the fastest class game played during our time in college. With the score tied at 16 all , Connie Wills scored three feld goals in as many minutes, thereby putting the game on ice. In our Junior vear we defeated the Seniors, 20-14, and the Freshmen defeated the Sophomores, 20-4. In the final game for the championship we easily trimmed the Freshmen by the score of 17-4.

He started a bat- ting rally in the second inning with a two-base drive, and in the third inning with the bases full he cleaned up with a triple.

Nevertheless we gathered together nine uniforms of bright and varied colors and soon found nine world's champs to fll them. The Seniors did not even have a look in '. When they did manage to hit the ball, Connie Wills and h s umiform of many colors scared them away from first. A few of the bolder ones managed to reach first and even tried to steal second, bur Soapy Morrison's ste ling southpaw moved them down in short order. On the other hand, what our mighty club swingers did to the hooks and bends of Shorty Alderson is too sad to relate. When the Seniors' outfielders started running and the Juniors started their mara- thon around the bases, it looked more like a track meet than a baseball game. It took seven innings to prove to the Seniors LIEat they were beaten and at the end of that time, out of wind and out of spirit, they decided that they had had enough. 3 The score by innings: un.jnr5 g L R e e S P it GO S T O S SR L Sentous LB G i s s ol A0 e BaczeriesBounds and Moriison, Alderson, Montgomery and Cann.

Tt was an exciting exhibition and as in all athi::m COn- tests between these classes, the old-time pep was predominant. The meet consisted of a high jump, shot put, tug- of-war, three wrestling matches and three boxin bouts. Coach McAavoy and Professor E. Smit were in charge of the affair. Professor C. A. Short acted as referee for the wrestling matches, while Dr. Blake gave the denslun on the boxing bouts. In the high jump, Manning, 15, cleared rhc bar at five feet. Gibney, 15, W 1s, 16, Bye, 16 and Horty, 16, tied for second p!acc at four feer ten inches. Kelly 15, won the shot put easily, putting the 16 Ib. shot a distance of 32 feer. Hirshman, '16, was second, and Foster, '16, third. The first wrestling match was the lightweight berween Loomis, '15, and Taylor, 16. This match was won by Loomis. The middleweight wrestling match was won by Emerson, '15, over Crothers, '16, In the heavyweight match Grieves, 15, won over Pepper, 16. The boxing houts were the real life of the meet. In the 'ightwclght bout, Dawson, 16, won over Little, '15. The mtddlewmght bout was a draw hetween Cann, 15, and Rigney, 16. The most interesting bout of the evening was the heav,y'we:ght boxing between Kelly, '15, and Hirshman, 16. We had never seen Hirsh box but we knew that Mike Kelly was no slouch. WMNevertheless, we all had cnnEdenr:t in our man and he did not disappoint us. Hirsh entered the contest with a broken nose, an injury received for the second or third time during the season in the annual class fa-mball game about several days pre- vious. Hirsh was game, however, and entered for his class Wllhngly Although outweighed twenty pounds, Hirsh was the aggressor throughout and knocked Kelly down in both the third and fourth rounds, easily gaining a decision. We won the tug- -of-war by default but lost the meet to the Sophs , 29 to 23. INDOOR MEET1914 We were more successful in the indoor meet as Sophs and easily defeated the Freshies by the score of 25 to 15, winning two wrestling matches, two hoxing bouts and the tug-of-war. ' In the high jump, Wills, 16, lost to Marshall, 17, who cleared the bar at 5 feet. Gus Graham, who hails from Charlestown, the garden spot of Cecil County which county according to Graham and Crothers is three-fourths of Maryland, put Mason, 17, on his back twice, as gently as the cir- cumstances would permit, and then modestly declared that if he had hacrn pint of Charlestown l?l'ard cider he could have thrown Mason and the mat both out the window, YAlec Crothers, of Northeast, Cecil County, Maryland, L. 5. A., not to be outdone by Graham and in order to have something to tell the folks when he P THE 100 AHD THE 2:0 DASH went home for the holidays, then threw Pete Me- Dowell, 17, and won the middleweight match. In the heavyweight match, Pepper, '16, lost to Wilson, 17. The boxing bouts were exciting and well foughet. Bonwill, our reErresentativc in the lightweight bourt, lost to Fidance, 17. G. O. Smith, 16, showed class in the middleweight bout and easily outpointed O'Daniel, 17. Weimer, '16, won the decision over Naylor, 17, in the heavyweight bout. We finished up a big night by winning the tug-of- war and incidentally winning the meet. Our team composed of Crothers, Weimer, Doherty, Foster, Morrison, Graham and Pepper, had the Freshman team composed of Wilson, Fidance, Na';:lur. Marshall, Mason, McDowell and Beauchamp half oot of the gyvmnasium door when time was called. The less we say of our class track team the better, True it is that we have turned out several gmd track men, two of whom, G. O. Smith and Alec Crothers, have captained 'Varsity track teams, but it is rather unfortunare that, with a class otherwise athletically inclined, we have been unable to arouse any enthusiasm in class track. Since we entered college there have been held two inter-class track meets, one June, 1914, and the other in June, 1915. The class of 1916 failed to carry off the honors in either although we finished second in 1914, the Seniors winning out by a few points. o T g g . Cam, i .-J 1-.' '1 b i 'F '-nl;'.l. . -.ilqg .l.,.

It was a prom long to be remembered by the class of 16. It may have come and gone in the minds of others, who considz'er a dance a dance and nothing more, but to us it was one of those red-letter, coronation-day expenences of our lives, We came up to the gymnasium door and the decorations were the first to incite admiration and approval. How pleasing they looked with only a few lights burning here and there. Congratulations upon the effect were already rippling among the guests and by the time the grandymarch started these ripples had grown into a contented buzz of conversation. The march started and the whole canopy over the foor blazed into light. Exclamations of 1t's gorgeous, The best I've seen at any Prom and How did you do it? were heard. But these were swallowed up by a new object for praise. Soapy Morrison and Crothers had begun to dis- tribute the programs, and these met with the same . I HE Prom? Ah, yes! as 1 fill my pipe and sink degree of popularity that had been accorded the decor- ations. iheg were of black seal leather with Junior Prom, 1916 stamped in gold on the cover. The ladies program contained a card case on the left and a small mirror cecupied one-half of the space on the right. Wehave been at a loss to know just what use the other compartment on this side served. The men's program consisted of a card case on the left and a memorandum pad on the right. Then, you know, we tried to group the guests into the figure 16 so that a picture could be taken. Foster wanted it for the Blue Henbut the excitement was too great. The programs were flled, the music started, and the dance was on. Who cared for a picture then? I'll wager not even Foster himself. And so we danced, light-hearted, contented, and as happy as kings, on into the wee small hours of the moming. Then group by group or two by two we left the floor, humming the ' Good-night Ladies tune which the orchestra was softly playing. The last couple reached the door, the music stopped and our Prom had entered the realm of Delaware History. 4 J DANCES 'lmmduc'tl:rry-fjn: Step0h, My Love. One SrepThe Mississippi Cabarer. .

The 1916 baseball team vompletely ctushed the hopes of the sophisticated baseball team of the unlucky 1915 class this afternoon to the tune of 23 to 0. The victory was not much of a surprise to the followers of the 1916 team, because of their untiring efforts in practice to get working in clockwise order. When Cap- tain Graham led his team out on the field it could casily be seen that they were in the pink of condition. Grraham, being captain, naturally want- el to pitch but after a conference with his catcher Morrigon he went out to center field and put the speed king, Bounds, in the box, In the first three mnings both teams went out in apple pie onder, But in the fourth inping the 1916 clsan-up squad found Shorty Aldersons breakers and the ballon started to. ascend.

Weird Sounds Heard in Dorms. Delaware College, May 10, 2 A, M.- The people, living in the immediate vicin- ity of Delaware College, were awakened out of their snorings and snoozings at an early hour this morning by weird sounds, heard coming from the college property. A few arose and armed themselves while others hid ander the bed or called up the police, Soon a crowd of about thirty des- petate citizens headed by the brave police force marched up the path toward the Diormitorics, As they drew nearer to the tuilding, cold chills ran up and down the spines of these brave patriots, atl the sound It was like the dying groans of a high pitched voice of A woman., Then they wended their way to the back of the Dorms and here came the moans of a decp hass voice of a man. At this the heraic band tiptoed up the front steps of the Dormes and ca- tipusly opened the door. The unearthly sounds were distinetly heard in the Ora- tory. Armed to the tecth and with guns drawn they threw open the deor of the Oratory, There with his head upon his shoulders stood Yip Groff sawing on the old bass vial, - SPORT UNENOWN TO HER.
