GOD'S COUNTRY.

Bv H. AUGUSTUS MILLER, JR., '08.

Is it here? Is it there? Is it down by the sea? Is it high where the condor s;wings?

Is it out on the plain where the red sand burns 'fo bletnish the hearts of kings?

Is it out on the crags where the paltn-trees bend, And the sea is a crystal deep ?

Is it there where the cold, lean cedars droop At the hand of the northern sweep?

Is it up where the ice-pack groans and heaves And the Arctic sun lies lotN?

Is it down where the green corn gently blows And the cool, green ri ve!'s flow ?

It is here ! It is there ! It is down in the South, In the North, and the East, and the West;

For every land is the land of God To the ones that love it best.

M< )N(; tht· 111auy aq.,!·tlnH·uts which have been presented in favor

of a collt·ge edu 'at ion there is on which appeals very strongly

to unselfish int rests. It is that a liberal tr:aining cuahles

ideal citizen shall not only be fcuniliar with National affairs as they are, but he should know what they ought to be. He should be able to criticise and to suggest itnprovetnents. He should have and be able to express thoughts, ideas and opinions. This is the crowning virtue of a statesman. The ideal citizen must be a theoretical poli­tJctan. For this purpose, a college education, or its equivalent, is not only beneficial but altnost necessary. As a theoretical politician, the student, with titne and opportunity to frequent the best libraries of the land, with facilities and encouragetnents to study the languages, tnanners, cnstotn~, governrnent and lives of tPe great political lead­ers of the nations in the past, has a decided ad vantage over his less forttt11ate fello\\'tnen. 'fheoretical politics is his particular field.

1'h is field is in need of I abut ers ; for it is as broad and pro1mising uow as it ever has been in the past. In spite of our materialistic tt=>ndencies, warfare is still being waged in the realm of though. Such current tertns as Anarcbistn, Socialistn, and Individualisn1, indicate the necessity for abstract thinking. Federalists and anti-Federalists advocates of a strong Federal governntent aud advocates of a weak l·'ederal governtnent. Hatnilton and Jefferson, are still pitted against each other.

In order to n1ake this point clearer, let us make it rnore con­crete. Take, for exatnple, the acts of the Fifty-ninth Congress. It is a well-known fact that laws passed by this body, such as the Pure I~"ood I~ill, the Inter-State Connt1erce Act and the Railroad Rate Bill, point to the stead) encroaclunent of the central power. Now, there are son1e tlnnkers who ardently ap

1 rove oi this principle, who have

a profound fetith in the infallibility of Federal supervision. Of this cla~s of thinkers, the present Chief Executi\e and Secretary Root, who a few tnonths ag-o discussed Centralizing tendencies in an address before the Pennsylvania Society of .r\ew York, are no inconspicuous representatives. < )n the other hand, there are those who equally dis­approve oi the extension of Federal power, who are champions of State rights and individual initiative, and who hold as their time honored creed that the governtnent which governs best governs least. Justice Potter, ot the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, . who has pub­licly opposed Secretary Root's plea for Central Government, stands out as a very strong type ot this latter school of reasoners. His views are that the Bureaucratic methods of Russia are not to be tolerated here, that State's rights must be maintained if the Rep1lblic

is tc) endure, aud that self-goveruuteut can only he carried on by pco­

Fixation Of Nitrogen. By HERBERT W. RIDOELV, '07.

ONE OF THE most important subjects in the chentical world is the production of nitrogen. This element is probably tnore important than any other, since its _use is very largely

distributed, being used to drive bullets, in the ·form of gun powder; to explode our mines, as dynan1ite and guncotten ; to dissolve metals, as nitric acid, etc.

Nitrogen may be looked upon under two conditions, ''free" and ''fixed"; nitrogen being "fixed" when it is united with other ele­tuents ; and "free" when it exists as nitrogen of the air. Many at­teutpts have ht:en tnade to transform in large quantities, the free and useless, to the fixed and useful kiud. This problem is one of im­tllense itnportance to the whole world, and to every human being; as it is a question of solution of the problen1 or starvation.

We are constantly consundng nitrogen in our bodies, and we tnust restore it by eating it in the form of animal food or vegetable products. But plants and animals depend upo:! the soil for all of their nitrogen ; the ~oil having obtained it from the lightning of the st1r111s and frotll slo\\· transfortnations of the nitrifying organisms. 1·his nitrogen of the soil, which is fast being utilized, bas to be re­placed, and the replacing of this nitrogen is the great question. Practically the only \vay is frotn the production of Chili saltpetre, since thP product of fertilizer (ammonium sulphate) is a by-product of the tnanufacture c,f coke in a limited quantity, being about soo, ooo tons, worth a bon t $2o,ooo,ooo.

The consutnption of Chili saltpetre atnounted to about 68,500 tons in 1870 and gradually increasin~· to 1,57 3,ooo tons in 1905. This quantity in 1905 sold for $27,131,500. It has been estimated that the supply which occurs native over q narrow strip of land be­tween the Andes at d the coast of South America, will be exhausted within 1wenty years. About the year 1925, there will be no more nitre, and a year or two after that, a famine will be upon the land. This is surely true if the present conditions continue.

Why should these conditions continue, with an inexhaustible supply of nitrogen in the air-237,000 tons of it upon evety seven

6 DELAWARE COLLEGE REVIEW

acres of land? The world detnands that this free nitrogen should be "fixed." This quantity of nitr9gen itself is enough to take the place of the 1,57 J,ooo tons of saltpetre which were utilized last year.

Of the amount yielded in 1900, one fourth of all the nitrogen cotnpounds was used for industrial purposes, and three fourths for the n1anuf.-tctnre of fertilizers, used for .agricultural purposes.

In order to oxidize ·he nit~ogen of the air a very high tetnpera­ture is required. It is also intportant to know the proper tetnpera­ture of this oxidation, sine~ the cost increases with the tetnperature. 'fhis point is rather uncertain, since the tent perature of the union is very close indeed to the ten1perature of dissoci~tion.

Professor I\ ernst n1ade a ntunher of experitnents on the fixation of nitrogen. On one, he passed air into an inidiutn globe, and heat­ed it by means of an electric furnace until eqnilibriutn was outainerl. After reaching the cquilibriun1 (that is after the conc.ent1ation of nitrogen bas reached the tnaxin1nm corresponding to this tetnpera­ture) it is necessary that the gaseous tnixtnre, for the reason 2bo\e stated, be cooled suddenly before another eq n i 1 i bri un1 takes place . . To produce this quick cooling, N ernst passed the gas ft 0111 the hot globe thro a capillary tube. Professor Nernst states that it is prGcti­ca11y in1possiple with any of the pre~ent tnethods to obtain nitrogen with tnore than 3 rx ' owing to the fact that it cannot be cooled quickly enough. There are two conditions which tnnst be sati~fied; heating to an equilibriutn, then cooling as quickly as possible.

Two Norwegian scientists, M. Bickland and Eyde, claint to be able to cotnpete with the natnral sourcesofnitratesand theatntnonintn sulphate which is obtained frotn a by-product of the coke oven gases. Their success is evidently due to the cheap water povJer in Nor\\ray. The process used by these men is to have a series of ovens. Each oven has two eleLtrodes, with a high pressure flatning arc between them, which is moved about by a powerful tnagnet in such a way as to obtain the maximum atnount of oxidation. 'fhe results obtained in this way gave 110 grams of nitric acid perK. W. H. According­to Hooper the maximun1 an1ount available. was I 57 gratns per K. W. H.

Many other attempts have been made to obtain the nitrogen from the air by the electric arc. Bradley and Lovejay conducted .ex­periments at Niagara Falls, in a large sparking chant her, which con-

DELAWARE COLI~EGE REVIEW 7

sists of a large cyljndrica1 tnetal box provided with vertical rows of cont2ct points inside of the cbatuber, each'· being connected to the postive tertn ina] of a dynatno, generating 8,ooo volts. In the centre js a shaft having negative contact~ in the fortn of rods, each connect­ed to the negative tertninal of the dynatno. In the revolution of this cylinder the positive tertninals fortn a contact with their respec­tive negative tertninals, and produce a spark. Each spark burns a stnall portion of the incon1ing air into oxide of nitrogen. This cyl­~nder is revol,·ed at the rate of about soo R. P. M., fortning about

400,000 arcs per tn1nnte. 'fhe result is that ahout two per cent. of the outgoing air is converted into oxides, which are caught by ab­sorbing towers ot water~ thus fortning nitric acid.

Frotn data we find that nitric acid tnay be obtained fron1 the air anrl water, both of which are inexhaustible, at a cost of about two and one half cents per pound. It finds a ready tnarket at about five and one half cents per pounrl, . which is surely enough 111argin to I

tuake it prDfit.able.

Professor Frank found by long experitnenting, that calcium car- · hirle reacted at a red _heat with the attnospheric nitrogen by the equation Ca C2-1-2 ~ - -Ca CK 2-I-C fortning carbon:and calciun1 cyna­

tll ide. He finally discovered . that. calciutn cynatnide heated with· high pre~sure steatn, .passed into 1itne stone and anunonia. : He ob­served that by spreading it in tnoist air sotne of the atnmonia was

evolved. It has been proved by test that weight for \\'eight the nitrogen

which it contains is better than the atntnonia -produced fl'om the coke oven gases, . and is equally as good as saltpetre. · The exact n1echanistn of its action is still to be detertnined, but for agricultural purposes it ranks . high with the present . methods of ·obtaining atn­

lllOllttnn.

Thus .far with all the ~ree nitrogen present, there are very .few, if any, processes which tnay be called a success, in converting this free nitrogen into the fixed ; altho tnany atten1pts have been made in the past ten years. . Some compan.tes claim to have made a suc­cess, but they are· very few indeed. But undoubtedly within the twenty years in which - ~· e may work before. the Chili saltpetre is .ex- . haus.ted, a successful method will be discovered for obtaining it.

Dr. Ross. A Story In Three Parts

PART III

By JOSEPH H. PERKINS, '07.

T HINKING the n1an had been evading arrest, a policeman ran toward him; and, failing to receive answers to bts questions, decided to take him to the jail to await the result of an inves­

tigation. The doctor, weak and dazed, tnade no objections, until, just within the station-house door, he stopped, drew himself erect and, in the hurt tone he knew an innocent man would use, said :

"What outrage is this? May I not-not"·-then an idea came to him, "run for a train without being taken in for a thief?" He be­came more excited and spoke in a ntanner tnore ernphatic than sincerity and truth require: "1 tell you, I'n1 not guilty of-of any­thing! Im-" here he suddenly stopped speaking; his fratne trent­bled and his ey~s stared wildly with fear. \Vith a whine of recogni· tion, the dog, that had so incited his fear several years before and which was now the station's pet, catne toward hitn, its eyes now green, now gray, now balls of fire in the light of the sun.

"Back ! Back !'' he cried in fear, raising his trentbling h~nds before his eyes and crouching behind the officer. "Take it a\vay !­Take it away, I say! The eyes !-You fiends! to tortnent tne with the very eyes of my fathe .. !''

Wi h this sudden outburst, his strength left hitn ann, having been placed in a chair, tnotionless he sat there, his figure litnp and his chin resting upon his breast. '1 he officers took the dog frotn the rootn and then watched the old man, who retnained silent. None of the officers knew aught of hirn ; sotne thought he was detnented and all eagerly looked toward hiln with expectation.

But be sat there, evidently in a stupor, unable to speak or n1ove, his thoughts rushing on itnpetuously. At first he tried to think to what extent he had comtnitted hitnself, both by speech and bv actions. He was thinkiug of some plan by which he tnight explain his actions, when his thoughts w .!re broken by a question, which, in his abnormal tnental state, he had o ;erlooked: ''How n1uch do these people know?" For a titne this stupified him ; then for the first time,

DELAWARE COLLEGE REVIEW 9

there came to him the idea of confessing his crime and, acting on the itnpulse, he spoke passionately and desperately:

" lVIy life bas been worse than a hell ; my future bids fair to be no better-even worse. For, already, my brain-tny mind is not what it used to be." 01.1tside the whine of the dog was heard and the doctor wildly eyed the door. ''Keep that-that thing aut of here ! I will confess all. For perhaps then with all fear ot detection taken away, I shall have a few days, less horrible than those of the last ten years have been, before !-before you kill me."

"You wtsh to make a confession ?"-asked the chief officer. "Yes-qutck !''-replied the doctor, as if he feared he would

change his tnind. A stenographer came forward and the officer said : "We are

ready." "I atn Dr. Ross, alias Dr. William~," said the doctor, and if he

had expected this statetnent to be tnet with great surprise or with an) sign of recognition he was rlisappointed. It was evident that the police know nothing of his crime.

''Well ?''-said the chief, non-comrnittantly. "Tell us all." Then, his dark eyes flashing and his arms gesticulating wildly,

the doctor, at first deliberately, and then quickly and excitedly, told \v i th, one exception, every detail of his crime: He did not say that the tnan he killed \Vas his father. When he catne to that part of his c0nfession he concluded not to tnentton that fact, since to do so '' onld not strengthen his story and, by increasing the officers' dis­] ike for hitn, would tnake the rest of his life in the prison tnore dif­ficult to live. Indifference to public opinion ts not a characteristic of a guilty conscience.

* * * * * * * * * He felt relieved-tnuch better than he had felt at any time since

the crime, when, after he had made his confession, he sat alone absently watching the spot of sunlight slowly travel up his cell wall and then disappear for the day. I~ut he did not philosophize-did not consider whether or not circumstances-fate had been kind to hitn. His muddled n1ind could grasp little more than that his life of horror would soon be ended ; and that he would no longer be tor­mented by the fear of detection.

When night came, almost with tears, he begged the keeper to place a light in his cell ; but in vain. The re6ulations of the prison

IO DELAWARE COLLEGE REVIEW

were not to be disregarded. To increase the doctor's fear, added to the darkness, there can1e up a thunderstorn1 in the early hours of the night. The vivid flashes of lightening and the fierce rutnbling of the thnnder aroused his fear to such an extent that, cowering in_ one corner of the cell, he shriekerl out in tnortal terror, calling down upon now the thunder, now the lightening, and now the God of Creation, a thousand curses. Frenzied with fear, he was not quieted until a bright light was placed in his cell. Then his fears subsided and, finally, he slept.

It was a week after this, when the chief of police catne to his cell :

"We have been working on your case fur the past week, endeav­oring to authenticate your confession. In the first place, we found that the house in which J'Olt sa/tf you killed that tnan-"

"I dtd ki11 the 111an"-corrected the doctor, childishly. "-- was burned to the ground the night yon said you cotntnitterl

the critne,' continued the offi~er. "We also learned that the little girl, who, you said, saw you enter the hott.;e that n~ght, dierl sev­eral da)S later of exposure. We found no record of the finding of any distnetnbered body in the river.'' Then tne officers closely watched the prisoner as he deliberately n1ade this last statetnent : '~And finally, the body of the olrl n1an, \Vht> rootned next to you, \Vas found in the ashes of the fire. Ot contse~ this body was so greatly burne,I that it conld not be identified; but there \Vas no one unac­counted for but this old tnan and you are.-See !"

This ne\VS stunned the doctor. For a titn ~ he could not grasp it significence. Then slowl) it dawned upon hitn that his word­his story was being doubted; and he arose, tretubling all over with ang r, his etnaciated fist tightly clenched, aucl cried hoarsly:

"\tVhat! What do you tnean, sir, that you donbt nty 'Nord . .:\1 nrderer I atn, but I do not lie ! 'fhe noble blood of an honorable fatnily surges-"

uconte-cotne" interrupted the chief, soothingly, "I have not aid I doubted your word. I was only telling you what we had

1 arned. Perhaps you can tell us sotnething that. will throw tnore 1 igh t on the case.'

But the old tnan was not to be thns soothed. He had a rlitn notion \vhich becatne brighter and brighter, that his \Vord was being doubted. He had cotnrnitted the nturder· that he kne\v was true and

DELAWARE COI~LEGE REVIEW II

he had given thetn all the facts. It seetned, therefore, itnpossible to hitn that they should not be able to prove the truth of his statements.

"Yes you do-you call rne a liar !-You, who profess to deal out justice, call me a liar-!, who am of an honorable family-"

''Conte-corne n1an !" "Keep your hands off me, sir! It is you who have lied. You

have con1e to n1e with a bunch of lies ! Do you think I am crazy to believe such things. I tell you I am sane-sane, sir-do you hear tne !" he raged tnadly. '~You must not leave this cell until you protnise to look into my case-to believe me!" and he rushed toward the door. Bnt the officer succeeded in getting out. The dt.ctor tore at the door in a fit of frenzy; then dropped litnply on his little bench and cried, nervously, his fingers tearing thru his dis­hevelerl, sno\vy locks. He could not comprehend what it all meant; he had only t\vo clear-cut thoughts: he had n1urdered his father and his confession ~ras not believed.

With pit) , the officer looked at the bent, emaciated figure and then passed down the corridor.

H\t\Te11, what luck?" he was asked by a subordinate. "You founrl hitn sane as I prP-dicted, did you not?"

"No-No; he's clear gone-out of his he!-1.d. After I told him what we had learned, I had a deuce of a titne getting out. He at­tacked tne acd when I held his arms be bit tne-see! We'll send hint to the asylutn tomorrow."

"He certainly did act like he was crazy when he catne here; but ~ir, thtre was an unmistakeable note of truth and honesty in his Yo1ce when he n1ade that confession. Of course we know his story is a fake but-well, if his story is nc 't true, he certainly believes it 1s. Sure it is a queer case, sir."

''He's craz) en ough now and I found that be's been a little off for several Years. I found that he was-as be said-Dr. Ross and

J

that, by neg-lect, he practically killed-or was, at least, rt.sponsible for the death of a patient. This misfortune, causing the loss of his practice, and that fire, I think, are responsible for his demented state. The tnen with whom be worked in the laboratory, say he acted queerly." The officers passed out of the building.

The most of that night the doctor raved and broke out in fierce denunciations of the police, of the law, of justice, of fate and of him­self. And the next morning, so weak was he that, with little diffi-

culty, h --- was taken to the as) hun. There, after n1any tnonths, he

regained his reason-at least enough to realize that his violent out­

bursts would not gain credance for his story (to be believed was now

his one idea ; and that if he was to be heard he n1nst get out of the

asy1utn and approach the people quietly. So the ~pastnodic out-

DELAvVARE COLLEGE REVIEW IJ

th~m. The chief of police had g·iven his opL1ion, telling \vhy the doctor's story could not be true. That night they got the old tnan to tell the story again, and when he catne to the part where he spoke of throwing the body i 11 to the streatn, sotneone asked :

"But-but doctor they found his body in the ashes after tht fire, didn't they?"

The old 1nan was noaplussed for a tnotnen t. Then he tried to conviuce then1 that it "'·as not true ; but to no avail. His hearers contended that th~ body had been found.

1'hey \vere looking for sport-for entertainment. The doctor becan1e tnad at1d finally refused to go on with the story. He went over to a dark corner of the big bar-room, away frotn the people and the onl) light iu the rootn, which was an open fireplace. There he sat all the evening trying to think. He knew the body found was not that of the tnan he rr1urdered, bnt how would he convince then1. Con~i~<. ring this he sat there in silence, never answering the jeers of victory tnade by the people. For ·several days he held aloof frotu e\·eryborly and then one evening, when they were again gathered in the tavern, he titnidly can1e forward.

LL·rhere vvas sotnething the ntatter with my head the other night, gentletnan, and, therefcre, I failed to answer your question concern­ing the body found in the ashes," he spoke enthusiastically; evident­ly he had thought of sotnething. "I now retnember that on the night I n1urdered that tnrtn the tn )On . w&s full, and, as I looked out of tny windo"r' I saw a tratnp enter the yard and into the cellar of the house-don't you see? 1 hat was the tnan who was burned to death!

Ha, ~Ha-Don't yon see?'' '\\"" ou're a cleYer story teller, doc," said a b~ stander, winking his

eyes, ~·isely. "v\-"hat-what, sir. I tell you its true," be retorted hotly, and

then as 1he) continued to disbelieve hitn, tears catne into his eyes, and it1cited both by his in1agination and by desperation, he added de­tail after ,letail to his description of the tnan, who he claitned to have seen enter tbe cellar: "f retnetnber distinctly-very distinctly, how he "'as dressed. He \\'Ore a brown derby hat, a black coat, a red tie and one of his shoes-thP left 0ne-was torn on the side." All that e\'ening and for many days aftervvard, he talked about this tna:1, "·ith the result that he convinced only hitnself that he had seen hitn.

detnolishing the sleigh and throwing out the occupants. One of the

ladies was able to arise but the other, pale and evidently lifeless,

laid upon the snow. The doctor involuntarily went to her ide,

and the natives were surprised to hear hitn giving orders with per­

cision and a voice of cotntnand that won obedience. Suddenly he

had become the doctor of twenty years ago ; and, for the first titne in

tnauy years, he forgot his troubles as he worked over this girl. But

the tax upon his strength was too tnuch, for, when he had finished

doctoring the girl, he fell insensible. And when, at tne hotel, he

was revi,·ed, he had no recollection of having adtninistered to the

girl. Sonte had thought that the event would serve to cure his in­

sanity ; but they \\·ere disappointed, for on the very nex~ day he was

telli11g his stor~· as u ·,ual. On the afternoon following the accident,

the father of the girl, who was hurt, an influential tnan in that part

of the state, called at the hotel and, after thanking the doctor, offered hiut tnoney for his services. ~fbis the doctor refused; but, as was his

custt)tn \Vhen a str,tnger catne to the hotel, he led the father of the

girl to a distant corner of the room and there in a low, confidential

Yoice said : '~If you say T aided your daughter yesterday, of cout'se I did.

I~ut sir, to be truthful--1nd I'tn always truthful-I do not retnetnber

it. I guess tny tnetnory is bad on S3tne things. A~d, sir, if you

\vish to do &nything for tne, please lis'en to the story I have to tell

you. \~on \Vi 11 find it unusual, sir, yes, \Vonderfu 1, bn t sir, it is true

-belie,·e tne, it is true.' He plEaded pitifully. "And, sir, when

you ha \·e heard it-it what I di<l fo r you yeste~day is worth the

trouble-\vill you please in\·estigate tny story and have the truth pub-·

lished in the papers so that these people may know that I have

spoken the truth?' The tnan had many titnes heard the story indtrectly but he lis­

tened intently. And altho he did not believe it, in recognition of

the doctor's \York he detertnined to tnake a conscientious investiga­

tion o f the case. Before leaving he pro~ised to do so. 1'he doctor,

glad at heart, then begau praising this man and waiting to hear the

in \·est iga tion. T\"ro ~~;eeks passed but he heard nothing. J)isappointtnent was

beginning to appear on his face aud it was only the encouraging

Editorial. A COMPLAINT.

Our attention, for sonte titne pa3t, has been called to the fact that here at Delaware we suffer a great lack of college songs and moreover our Altna lVIater is frequently abused. It tnatters little where we are-in room gatherings, at athletic contests, in catnpus assemblies-sooner or later someone starts up the Alma Mater, re­gardless of time and place, and the grand old tune is often profaned and certainly abused. The Aln1a Mater should be respected and loved, should be sung only at critical ntotnents to turn defeat into victory and to inspire the students to courage and to arouse all their latent powers and ability. If this were the case many a game might be won that otherwise would be lost. Every player, no matter how fatigued and discouraged, would thrill to the occasion, would put forth superhutnan strength, would arouse everv effort, when he would bear the strains of the Alma Mater sung by the student-body.

22 DELA \V ARE COI.4LEGE REVIEW

is unfortunately true that the great majority of day-students are in­tellectual leeches, who suck the blood of education for four years and then, bloated and crammed, fall off to further their ov;n selfish tneans and to forget or injure the college. As a general rule they show no interest 1n college affairs., they fortn no binding friendships with the boarders at the college, aud rarely stir then1selves to add anything to the college life.

In this satne connection Lelaware needs two things-tnore pre­paratory school tnen and n1ore n1en frotn other states. For, in the first case, a man cotning from a good preparatory school kno\vs what school spirit is, kno\vs what is the love for an institution of learning. In the second case the tnen from other states, paying cold cash for what state students get free, will inject a far d ifferent spirit into the college than now exists.

We deem it unfortunate that the lack of unity and college sririt should be so pronounced as to deserve tnention in the college paper. But since such an exposition seems necessary \Ve trust that a speedy expurgation of the faults will be tnade in the near futurt. Be assured that the REVIE\V will be as ready to applaud the comn1on good as it is to denounce the bad, and is ready to adv~nce refortn or aid the fal­tering steps of right to the fullest extent of its po\ver.

Athletics. Edited By LESTER E. VOSS, 07 .

A LTHOUGH there are no visible outside signs of sprtng, but rather a very disagreeable wintry appearance on all sides, the remains of the 1ast Jan nary sno';v still with us, yet the ac­

tivity in athletic circles, especially in track and bctseb2_ll indicates, clearly, that the season is fast approaching. For when the baseball men and track men get busy indoors and begin to count the days be­fore they will be able to get down to outdoor work, then it is a sure sign that this season is fast approaching.

1'hat is just now the existing stat_e of affairs. So far as existing circunHitances \vill permit, the baseball candidates are doing fairly good work,. and frotn all indications, will soon round into the usual good forn1. The men from last year's teatn, Capt. Taylor, Cullen, Pappern1an, Adkins, Josephs, Kin1ble, are all in very good fortn,

DELA vV ARE COLLEGE REVIEW 23

while the new men who have appeared, besides several from the re­serves frotn last year, give protnise of making things lively tn the race for position.

Several new 1nen ha ,.e appeared in track uniforn1 and are fast developing. Atnong the new men who show up best are Warring­ton, Robinson, Horn, Williatns, Hudson, and Corkran, while of last ) ear's tean1, Collins, Bald win, Buckmaster, Prouse, and Capt. Voss, are all out.

BASKET B~t\LL. After a very successful period the basket ball season is drawing

to a close. Only t\VO tnore games will be played, the closing game to be played vvith lVIuhlenbutg College, on Friday, March rs, on theJ hotne floor. Owing to some misunderstanding we were compelled to cancel our gatne with Albright College on February 22, while on lVIarch 2, our gan1e with Rutgers was cancelled by the latter, no reason whatever being assigned.

On February 16 the Millersville team paid us a visit, and were defeated by a score of 36-6. This victory for Delaware partly oblit­erated the stain of defeat we met on the lVIillersville floor some time ago, as that was the only garne lost that should cause a feeling of shatne. Of course sorne excuse could he given, but not to straighten n1atters out fully. But on February I6, when everything was £0

much one-sided, was plainly shown the superiority of the Delaware teatn, the gatne being almost devoid of interest, the home team scoring ahnost at will. ~fhe line-up was as follows:

Exchange Notes. Edited By GUSTAVE A. PAPPERMAN, '09.

We have noticed, recently, that a number of our College papers, ,vhich come to us, boast of a large list of exchanges. And while it is true that con~iderable time is spent in criticising them, yet we feel that a certai.n plan could be adopted by each individual exchange editor, that would lessen his work to a certain degree. Since so many of our exchange editors are complaining about tin1e, I would sug­gest, that in~tead of pt'rusing their whole list of exchanges, that they take up a dozen or !'O each month, thereby getting over their whole list during the year. Surely by this plan much time could be saved, and without a doubt, better results would follow. For it an exchange colutnn has a criticistn on a hal[ a dozen papers each issue, it is doiug exceedingly well.

We notice that son1e considerable space in the exchauge column is occupied by jokes with most of \vhich, we are more or less familiar. While \Ve are not adverse to reading a few good jokes, yet we can hardly sanction the use of a whole exchange colutnn to this alone. We find that exchanges frotn some of the University papers are even guilty of this act. We hope that in the future this ntay be elimi­nated to son1e degree.

The State Collegian. This paper has been criticised a great deal, for the enthusiatn which the business managers have shown to­ward the paper. We hope, however, that the staff of literary editors would strive to rnake their paper n1ore interesting. We seldotn find an essay or a story in the Collegian. Jokes seem to be prohibited, and an exchange colutnn would be an extravagance.

We ·would like to see the Collegian intprove, surely the paper does not represent the institution frotn which it is sent.
