Delaware State University students and faculty members joined other land-grant colleges around the nation in the 1890 Day Wellness Walk program Thursday. Money raised from the walk will help establish the Justin S. Morrill Memorial Scholarship fund for DSU students. The university is celebrating the 125th anniversary of the 1890 Morrill Act that helped it to be established one year later.
