BLUE HEN Published by the Class of 1919 of Delaware College Junior Year TO MR. PIERRE S. du PONT who, through his enthusiastic interest in higher education and his generosity, has made possible a greater and better Delaware College, this book is dedicated by the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen FOREWORD T this ecritieal stage of the present world war, when the prevailing national spirit ealls for the subordination of superfluity, needlessness, and waste, to conservation, gelf-denial and constructive patriotism, the publication of a college year book, upon first thought, appears somewhat in- consistent. It iz the purpose of the Class of 1919, however, to overcome this apparent inconsisteney by placing before the reader the two motives which stimulated the desire to issue this annual. They are: 1 to make a concrete record of Delaware College in the first year of its new life, and 2 TO SHOW WHAT A TYPI- CAL COLLEGE OF THIS COUNTRY IS CONTRIBUTING TOWARD THE WELFARE OF THE NATION IN THE PRES- ENT CRISIS. It is not without misgivings that the staff has undertaken to convert the Blue Hen from a biennial to an annual publication. Of the original twelve members of the board only six remain. J. P. Truss, the original editor; M. W. Plam, art editor, and F. H. Tyson, T. R. Booth and W. 8. Fitzpatrick, of the editorial staff, have answered the call to arms. The work has been rendered all the more arduous for those who have remained, becausze of the general unrest arising from the suppressed excitement which is now so prevalent in every phase of active life. We trust, how- ever, that we have, in some degree at least, fulfilled our original purpose, and would ask that the reader pass judgment upon the departures of this book from conventional standards in the light of the serious purpose which we have throughout endeavored to adhere to. The class is particularly indebted to those who have given their assistance in publishing the book under such trying condi- tions. Among those we would mention Professors Dutton and Greenfield for their kindly suggestions and eriticisms, Mr, A, Blair for his liberal contributions in art work, and The Star Pub- lishing Company for its hearty co-operation and efficient work- manship. Truth and Fancy, working side by side, Reveal the jowrney on that fairy tide Of eollege life at Delaware in youth, That, in our silvered age, forsooth, We'd send our barlk back o'er the dreary sea To shores of Joy where Sorrow eowld not be, The campus and Old College Hall, Our friends, the war, and then the call That sent those friends out where Life's breakers roar Write, Truth and Fancy, as you never wrote before.

SAMUEL CHILES MITCHELL During this critical war-time period, when discourage- ment and uncertainty are tending to depress the student, there is no one whose optimistie influence and whole-hearted interest is more keenly felt and appreciated than is that of our President, Dr. 8. C. Mitchell. The intellectual, spiritual and material growth of the college under his able leadership is merely indicative of the worthy acecomplishmentz and higher ideals toward which his altruistic efforts have been di- rected. Any movement for the welfare of the institution or the individual betterment of the student he has endorsed with enthusiasm, He has ever been quick to cateh the student's point of view, and in the years to come his name will be loy- ally gpoken by every son of Old Delaware, EDWARD LAURENCE SMITH Dean Bmith was born on March 18, 1677, at Newsrk.

Edwin P. Pendleton, U, 8. A., Rtd., the commandant of the college battalion, succeeded Captain Hoey, who was called into war service at the end of the last spring term. Since he has taken over the instructorship of the military department, Col. Pendleton has succeeded nobly in retaining and strengthening the efficiency of the corps, and was instrumental in mak- ing possible the Reserved Officers Training Corps, which was established in September. In addition to gaining the respect and admiration of the en- tire college, he has, in spite of his brief residence in Newark, taken a keen interest in municipal affairs. Colonel Pendleton has made a remarkable record during his active ser- vice, which extended from 1879, the date of his graduation from West Point, to 1914, the time of his retirement. Within this period he served as Second Lieutenant and as First Lieutenant in the Twenty-third U, S, In- fantry ; as Captain in the Spanish-American War, and in Indian Territory; as Major and Lieutenant Colonel in the Twenty-third U. 8. Infantry; and as Colonel in the Twenty-sixth and First Infantry. Military Progress HE value of military training in the colleges of the United States, as a T necessary adjunct of preparedness, either in times of war or peace, can be no more keenly emphasized than by the prevailing conditions of today. Not only does it contribute profoundly to the systematic military discipline, as is required of all men in times of need, but it also teaches the principles of leadership, obedience, and responsibility, which are of para- mount importance to the well-rounded man, In accordance with the act of Congress, September 20, 1916, the govern- ment has established a unit of the Senior Division of the Reserve Officers Training Corps at this college. This unit consists of a battalion of three companies with student officers, and is directed by Colonel E, P. Pendleton, U. 8. A, Retired. Colonel Pendleton is ably assisted by Sergeant John Fra- zer, U. 8. A. Under the prescribed course of intensive training the students are being competently fitted for positions as Reserve Officers. The primary object of this course is to qualify by systematic and stand- ard methods of training the students of this institution for reserve officers. The system of instruction by the War Department presents to these stu- dents a standardized measure of that military training which is necessary in order to prepare them to perform intelligently the duties of commis- gioned officers in the military forces of the United States, and it enables them to be thus trained with the least practicable interference with their civil careers. This year the course is elective for Juniors and Seniors, but compul- gsory for under-class men. Each student receives a government allowance for uniforms, while in addition to this the upper-class men receive a com- mutation of subsistence. Those electing the course for four years agree to attend two summer training camps of six weeks duration, and when once undertaken the work becomes a pre-requisite for graduation. The appointment of cadet officers and non-commissioned officers for this unit of the Reserve Officers Training Corps are made from the upper classes as far as possible. It is the intention to give the students in the ad- vanced course the benefit of an opportunity of training in a responsible, rather than in a subordinate position, and also to permit those in charge to Compang B determine an individual's proficiency at different periods of the practical part of the course. In addition to the required three hours drill per week, the Juniors and Seniors taking the course devote two hours per week to classroom work on military problems, Acecording to latest developments Delaware will send its contingent to summer camp on or about June 1, this being the first camp which stu- dents from this institution have had the opportunity of attending since the establishment of the unit here, Military training has been a requirement at Delaware College for the past thirty years, and evidences of its conerete value ean be no more clearly shown than by the following extract from the Review : Evidence of the share which Delaware College i3 contributing to the nation in this great world war was brought out in bold relief hy Dean E. Laurence Smith's statistical report, delivered in chapel on Monday, March 4th. Although somewhat incomplete in places, the report as a whole shows that Delaware iz proportionately in the foreground of American colleges for services rendered, and that even at this early stage has made a record of which every alumnus and student may well be proud. The honor roll which has been increasing rapidly now contains the names of 159 men, of which 32 are undergraduates who abandoned their college course to enlist or accept commissions. The remaining 127 include graduates and those who attended but did not complete their course, Ac- cording to Dean Smith's investigation the men on the honor roll represent practieally every class since 1900. Of these men 65 were engineers, 60 arts and science, and 34 agricultural students, Of the 159 men there are 15 concerning whom the dean could not secure any definite information. The disposition of the remainder by branch of service is as follows: Infantry, 53; Artillery, 19; Aviation, 19;: 1J. 8. En- gineers, 10; Navy, 10; Naval Reserves, 10; Medical Corps, 10; Cavalry, 4; Marine Corps, 3; Quartermaster Corps, 2; Ordinance Department, 3; Y. DML C. A., 1; making a total of 144 which have been accounted for, By rank, Delaware men held the following positions: Under this head my information is complete for only 85 men. Colonel, 1; Major, 4 ; Captain, 16. The percentage of men holding commissions of Captain or above is al- pe e wAhn u - Companyg C most 25 per cent. 1st Lieutenant, 16; 2nd Lieutenant, 21 ; thus 58 out of 85, or almost 70 per cent, for whom the information is complete, hold a com- mission. Sergeant, 9; Corporal, 7. The above paragraph containg statements which are most significant to everyone connected with the college. To have T0 per cent of the men ac- counted for, as holding commissions in the United States Army, is no small accomplishment, and Dean Smith goes on record as being willing to place the record of Delaware College, with that of any other institution of the same size, type, and standard. As to serviee in the Navy, Dean Smith has secured the following in- formation: Lieutenant Commander, 2; Midshipmen, 1; Gunner on Battle- ship Delaware, 1; Quartermaster, 1; Surgeon, 2; Paymaster, 1. So far as I have been able to discover, 19 men are now actually in for- eign service and I do not doubt that several others have recently been sent over, specific information, however, has not reached me. The Staff The Ambulance Delaware College Ambulance Corps On Thursday, October 4. 1917, Delaware College was presented with a modern automobile ambulance by the Delaware Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Elaborate exercises were held in Wolf Hall in honor of the event, with Dr. 8. C. Miichell preziding. The presentation speech was made by Mrs, Edward Moody, chairman of the Ambulance Com- mittee, of the Delaware Chapter. Mr. Josiah Marvel made the speech of acceptance on behalf of the college. Short speeches were also made by Dr. 8. C. Mitchell, Mrs. George C. Hall, Regent of the Chapter; Dean E. Lau- rence Smith, representing the faculty, and H, P, Cleaver, representing the atudent body. The Delaware Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution became interested in the project through the efforts of Dean E. Laurence Smith and some of the students. It was originally intended by the Dela- ware Chapter to present an ambulance to the Delaware Regiment, but when it was found that this was impossible, it was decided to give it to Delaware College, The ambulance presented to the college is modern in every respect, he- ing of the same type as that used by the Government and the Red Cross. It was manufactured by the White Ambulance Company. The ambulance is manned by a corps of students, and is subject to call in emergency cases, within a distance of one hundred miles of Newark., In case their services should be needed, members of the corps together with the ambulance are prepared to answer the call of the Government for service anywhere. The members of the original ambulance corps were: H. P. Cleaver, K. R. Bowen, Paul Lovett, Arthur Chillas, and R. D. Herdman. The corps receive instruction from Dr. Walter Steel and Miss Beck of the Delaware College Infirmary, in first aid and in hospital work. Already some of the members of the original corps are in war work, and in more than one in- stance their preliminary instruction has proved of material aid in their sue- cess, Considerable service has already been rendered to the community by the ambulance in emergency cases and in the Red Cross work. The presentation of the ambulance brings home to us the seripusness of the work which we have to perform. Delaware accepts with the gift of the ambulance, the great responsibility that it carries with it It symbol- izes the spirit of service during this present war. Through the efforts of the noble women of the Delaware Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the service of the college is now extended throughout the State and even farther if need be. This gift makes a big step in the development of a bigger and broader and better Delaware, There has been appointed as a permanent committee to supervise the ambulance work, a representative of the Daughters of the American Revo- lution; Dean E. Laurence Smith, Dean A. L. Cullimore, representing the faculty; H. P, Cleaver, representing the student body ; and Louis Klee, rep- resenting the manufacturer.

BSUMWALT A Senior Class History The class of '18 blew in on the campus at Delaware on September 15, 1914. We were the largest class that ever entered Delaware up to that time, having one hundred and seven members. Oececasional showers from the Sophs did not trouble us in the least, as we cleaned them up with the iire hose at the first of the year, We also serubbed the ground with them in the class rush, in football, in baseball, in track, in basketball, and in the indoor meet. The 19158 basketball team was the college champion in 1915 and 1916. Our Freshman banquet set the pace for all similar occasions. As a witness of our superiority over the children of the 1919 elass one may still see the rope on the college smokestack which held a 1918 banner until the elements took the banner away. That was the beginning of our movement to go high in life. In the same year we completely outelassed the Freshmen in the rush and in basketball and baseball. Four yvears have passed almost too swiftly, The time which we looked forward to as almost an age, has seemed but a few davs. We have acquired much knowledge, we have found hundreds of friends, and we have lost many of our classmates. Our number has dwindled from one hundred and seven to thirty-two, We have been interested witnesses of nearly all of the changes which the college has undergone during the recent unequalled prog- ress, We have seen some fifteen instructors come and go; we have beheld the establishment of the Honor System, the rejuvenation of Old College Hall, and the erection of Wolf Hall and Harter Hall, the new dormitories: and we have seen the acquisition of a new eampus which is larger than the one upon which we entered in 1914. We have watched the growth of the college from one hundred and fifty to two hundred and thirty-seven stu- dents, and we have carefully kept an eyve upon the splendid progress of our sisters of the W. C. D. who will graduate with us this vear. We have boeen suecessful in track, the class having two record holders. We have heen very well represented on all of the varsity teams and in all of the college societies. We are now almost upon the eve of our graduation. It is with the greatest interest that we look forward to our advent into the great struggle of life. Many of us will be in service this summer among our comrades who are already there. The thought of our departure is overshadowed by the necessity of breaking the relations which we have formed in our sojourn here, and the breaking of the ties to the old eollege which we love so dearly. We go out into the world as humbly as we entered college, fully realiz- ing our duty and knowing that there is yet much to be learned. We hate to leave, but upon our departure we praise the beloved college for that which it has given usknowledge and a fuller understanding of life.

MARSTON S B A MiCHAEL W. PLAM U e e e P GEORGE W. HEARNE Junior Class History I emerged from the lobby in the Amsterdam Theater at the conelusion of the evening performance one evening in the year 1918. Az turned to enter the elevator, 1 was jostled forcibly by someone who immediately turned to ask my pardon. As he glanced into my face a smile of recognition passed over his countenance, and extending his hand he exclaimed, Well, if it isn't Lou Plam. It was Pete Syler. I haven't seen you since I left Newark in 1915. What has happened since then at the old place? What happened to our class? Tell me all about it, were some of the questions he showered upon me. Before altempting to reply, we entered the elevator and ascended to the roof-garden. Here we procured a table in a sheltered nook, and, over our demi-tasse and Havana cigars, I unfolded the events which had befallen our class since he had left. Well, Pete, I suppose you recollect the day we assembled on the cam- pus one hundred and fifteen strong, eager for the new life and the struggles it might bring us. Do vou remember the elass fights we used to have under the leadership of Herb Weldon, our class president? That certainly was a great year for old '19. We won the class football game and a fair majority of the rest of the class contests. We were also not backward in social events, holding a elass banquet and a theatre party. In the spring we estab- lished a new custom by holding a class smoker, at which we elected W, S, Fitzpatrick president for the coming year, and made plans for the reception of the 'freshies.' We returned in the fall, dwindled in numbers but not in spirit. This spirit was manifested in a smoker at which we instituted another custom by deciding to publish a Blue Hen, thus making it an annual publication in- stead of a biennial. Our sophomote year saw a new era at Old Delaware, many new buildings looming up on the campus. In athleties this vear our class accomplished the remarkahble feat of battling the freshmen to a score- less tie in the football game, this being the first time in five years the fresh- men did not defeat the second year men. Having pleasant recollections of our freshman banquet, we held another class banquet and theatre party, thus instituting another custom. In the midst of these pleasures a dark cloud in the shape of international diplomatic complexities loomed upon the horizon. As a result many of the 19 men left college early to work on the farms, in industrial plants, and the yvear ended in confusion. As we returned to the campus in the fall of 1917, many changes greeted our eves. A new spirit animated the whole eollege community owing to the strenuous war times. The class of 1919 had dwindled to about forty-five members. Bill Stewart was elected class president. The vear was un- eventful, except for the Junior Promenade, which was given in 0ld Col- lege Hall. The hall was beautifully decorated and the dance was a great success. After returning from the Christmas recess, four prominent mem- bers of our class departed from our midst, going to an officers' training gchool. At present the prevailing spirit of the class is one of grim determi- nation to stride forward in the fields of learning and to do all in its power to aid the ecaunse of liberty and justice. As I concluded, Syler arose and grasping my hand across the table said, Although I was a member of the class of '19 but a short time, I am cer- tainly proud of the fellows whom I knew there, and of their achievements. Good night, Lou. HISTORIAN, RAaYMOND BUEHM AKER, 2 N Arts and Science Delaware City, Delaware Class Football 15, '16, Capfain Closs Baseball 17, Serub Foothall 17.

WoopwARD OLCOTT History--Class of 1920 In its infant year the Class of 1920 compared well with any other Freshman Class that ever existed at Delaware. In fact, the writer believes that 1920 was the beat Freshman Class that Delaware has ever had, and naturally, because he iz a member of that elass. And let him speakwhat class can boast such scholarship, such individual brilliancy, such prowess in class athletics, such contributions of varsity ma- terial in all branches of sport, as the Class of 19207 What other class can say that its numerals repose snugly under the glate roof of Harter Hall, our first real dormitory? These are not all the honors that ean be claimed for 1920. There are others even more glorious, When the class reassembled in the fall of 1917 to assume its duties, the ranks were great- ly depleted, old Mars had reaped his harvest. I will not tabulate here the names of our heroes. Their names are written with fire. Their company is steadily increasing. As a Sophomore Class it can be said in common par- lance that 1920 is shot to pieces, But let me hasten to say that I refer only to numbers. The sturdiness of the pres- ent class is undeniable; its members will loyally uphold the honor of Delaware and steadfastly cherish the remem- brance of their departed classmates, For vears to come there will ever be those fond classmates in every walk of life, who will never relinquish the dearest memories of their lives and who will always uphold the standard of their beloved Dela- xtla.l.,edfl gs0 7y srowoydog 305 ,m,nm.wm....

YOUNG Freshman Class History Upon the 18th and 19th of September the Freshman Class, singly and in groups, assembled at Newark. The first night was spent in pleasing the Sophs, but on the second night the tide of battle turned. One soph ven- tured out, and returned with his spirits considerably dampened. He won't DARE do it again. There was a scrap at the K. A. House, and not a Freshman was on the hottom rather an unprecedented incident, Later in the wee sma' hours of the morning, the Sophs, crawling from their holes, showed their powers of prognostication ! by forecasting in white num- hers on Main street, the Freshman score in the annual football game. On October 15 we toiled all day bringing wood from far and near for the bonfire to celebrate the football vietory over Haverford. And there was some wood there, too! On the night before the Dickinson game, we passed through town and the W. C. D, arrayed in many elaborate and grotesque costumes. We received round after round of vociferous applause, as spee- tators gazed with open mouths at the evidences of our ingenuity and sim- FED T UDWYRALT plicity. Three well earned prizes went to a team consisting of Horty, Ger- man, Frederick, and Young, H. Alexander and W, H, Foulk. The annual Fresh-Soph track meet, which was a mere preliminary to the football game, was featured by the mervelous finish in the half-mile made by Fairy Johnson. Incidentally, several promising men for the varsity track team were uncovered, On Thursday, December 6, we everlastingly buried the Sophs in foot- ball, 20 to 0. Never hefore has a Soph team suffered such a decisive defeat from the hands of the Freshman team. The entire '21 team played a fine game, H. Alexander, Spaid, Young and Captain Lord execelling. In sports, 1921 has furnished many good men, In football there were Tonkin, a regular find ; MeCaughn, Foulk, Vita, Roach, Lord and Young. In basketball we find among 1921, Alexander, Lord, Wilson, Aikens, and others. We have laughed at Doc Vaughn's jokes; we have clearly under- stood 7 Doc Rawlins' explanations: we have fasted at the Commons; still we are progressing rapidly in our pursuit of knowledge. We have held several smokers, and have come to know one another well. Our spirit is good; we are here resolved to make an enviable name for 1921 and 0ld Delaware. THE CUB.

STANW00OD BAUMGARTNER, Coach I, Stanwood Baumgartner, our director of athletics, came to Delaware last fall to take charge of the football team. His value was soon discovered and he was asked to become the di- rector of all athleties at the college. Coach Baumgartner is a graduate of the University of Chicago, where he was very active in athletics, having played on the wvarsity football, basketball, and baseball teams. After leaving college, he played professional baseball with the Philadelphia Club of the National League for two seasons, participating in one world's series. In spite of his brief directorship, his cheerful grin, his good-natured disposition, and his unabating insistence upon results have gained for him the personal admiration and friendship of every student in college.

It was a hard fought battle with neither team scoring until the final quarter, but our conzistency proved fatal to the Sophs, and we deserved to win, Bim Aker and Heine Marston were the mainstays, and scored the two touchdowns which gave us the right to take off our freshman caps. When we became Sophs it was quite evident that we must win again. Spurred on by memories of the 1915 conquest, we went upon the gridiron with a do or die spirit. We fought hard and the result was a scoreless tie. It was a game filled with exciting moments, brilliant dashes, hard smashes, punts galore,but no scores. It would not be unfair, we think, to say that in football the class of 1919 showed the stuff. Buaskethall In basketball our class has not been so successful as in other branches of sport. Our fresh team first met the old Soph enemy, and they cap- tured the game 20-9, Undoubtedly the better team won, and the Sophs cap- tured the inter-class title. Next year the game against the Freshmen was a bitter fight and the result was in doubt until the last whistle blew,the firat year men winning 17-14. Spex Craig was our shining light, but the whole team played well, In our Junior vear under the new system of a six pame series, we were successful in tieing the Sophs and Seniors for second place, Track The class of 1919 showed its heels to the other classes in our freshman year, and hung up 52 points, with the Sophs running second. This inter- class meet brought out our stars who are now in the college team, and gave promise of greater things to come. This is evidenced by the records which have been smashed by the athletes of 1919, Our Sophomore track team was handicapped by the loss of a number of good men, and in 1917 we finished third in the annual interclass meet. We maintained our reputation for a good relay team, however, and won that event in fast time. Baszeball In baseball our efforts were not particularly well rewarded. The Freshies let out in the initial contest and trimmed us; score 10-6. The game was marked by the heavy slugging of both teams, in which the first year men excelled. In our SBophomore year much of cur most promising material was lost through the war call, and again we met defeat. Our rivals, the Freshmen had a crack organization, and not only defeated us to the tune of 13-1, but won the interclass series with ease. M. PLAM MARSTON AKER CANTWELL L.

CAmTER, '20 Circulation Advertizers Dairy Judging Team The Dairy Judging team of Delaware College won fifth place in the Students' Judging Contest at the National Dairy Show, which was held at Columbus, Ohio, October 19, 1917. The team was composed of F. L. O'Rourke, who ranked seventh among the contestants, F. C. Penuel, who ranked tenth, and F. B. Martenis, who ranked twenty-eighth. The high standing of the members of the Delaware team iz all the more creditable when it is considered that it had had comparatively little practice and ex- perience as compared with what the men of the larger universities with whom they were competing had had. This is the first time that Delaware has ever ranked among the leaders, and the first time it has ever zecured second place among the states east of the Mississippi River.

THE ADVANTAGES OF AN EDUCATION Two tramps, sitting by the roadside at dusk, were indulging in an imaginary game of poker, in which pebbles played the part of the lucre. One of them was a downfallen college graduate; the other just an ordinary tramp, named Pat, Said the latter, I'll just bet you a thousand dollars as an opener. The college graduate replied, I raise you a million, Make it a billion, said Pat. Raize you a hundred billion. Two hundred billion, said Pat. Seventeen gquadrillion. Pat seratched his head for a minute. Then he said, Take the pot, vou educated son-of-a-gun.

ADVICE TO FRESHMEN By Prof. Hazo Barton Serub Faculty '46 Upon arriving at college be sure and dazzle the upper classmen by weird tales of your activities in high school and vour home town. After getting on this familiar footing with the upper classmen, shun their advice and ignore them for the rest of the year. Cut across the grass, wear loud haberdashery, and try to cause as much disturbance on the eampus as you can. Get in touch with the coach and confidentially admit to him vour abil- ity in the various sports. Buy your smokes, if you smoke your own, at Billy Hayes' cigar store and get your name in the paper. Further, broaden your town acquaintances by starting a charge account in Doc Rhodes' drug store. By doing this you can kill two birds with one stone. For there you will meet Mr. Plumley and thus become well versed in all town gossip. Don't waste your time studying. Never miss the serial picture at the Opera House. Don't write your own themes because you can have a zood one written for less than a dollar. Don't worry about examinations. your personality will pull you through. Cause disturbances in all your classes so yvour name will be brought up in the faculty meetings. This will make you a known character among the pedagogues. To make your debut in the social life of the institution cultivate the acguaintance of such broad and handsome men as Fairy Johnson, Shorty Vogler, Van Dyke, etc. By strictly adhering to these rules you will become the idol of the campus in no time and your name will be a by-word among students for years to come. I. M. Wise, Do you remember George? Good morning, George! Good mawnin, Mr. wrib-er-gegege-ku-er-be-turing-wee-sow-le-ger.

THE BOARD Delaware College And The Present Crisis In these days when only the efficient man can be tolerated in any position of responsibility, there is an increasing demand for the college graduate. He is needed to help win the war, both in the field and behind the lines. Upon him depend, in a large meagure, the present safety and the future growth of our country, Already, an astonishingly large percentage of the officers of our Army and Navy are college men. For the college man himself this is a time of rare opportunity, and after the war his opportunities will be greater rather than less. Much re- construction work will have to be done; the learned professions will demand more men than ever before; the land must be made to yield as it has never yielded in the past. The courses in Arts and Science, Engineering, and Agriculture at Delaware College are peculiarly fitted to prepare the graduates of our high schools to meet the demand for trained men. With its large and able Faculty, its modern buildings, its adequate equip- ment, and its unexcelled athletic facilities, the College is the logical choice of the young man who desires to fit himself to H meet and solve the problems of life which are sure to arise as a rezult of the unusual National conditions incident to the war ' and to the period of reconstruction that will follow it. 1 e X . e 1 PONT AMERICAN INDUSTRIES ARE OWNED AND OPERATED BY E.l.duPontde Nemours Co. and Associated Companies GENERAL OFFICES Du Pont Building, Wilmington, Del.

In many plants it is nsed as an insulator ; in other places it is used wholly for mechanical parts; and in a large number of in- dustries it is to be found in the product manufactured. A noteworthy faet that should interest students, alumni and faenlty of the Delaware State College is that this State is the world s center for the manufacture of vuleanized fibre, VUL-COT Fibre is n higher development of vuleanized cotton fbrea hard, tough, horn-like materinl of great strength andl durability.
