An increased proportion of the Freshmen are taking the Engineering courses. There are 11 entering the Civil Engineering course, 9 entering the Electrical Engineering course, and 2 the Mechanical Engineering course.
The whole number of students will probably reach 110.
It has been demonstrated that there is at least one very important advantage in attending a college the size of Delaware College, as it affords opportunities for individual instruction that are not to be had at some of the larger institutions. The instructors at Delaware College give as much individual instruction as possible. and the thoroughness of the work is now manifesting itself, as it has advertised the institution to an extent that is now known as one of the standard colleges of the country.
