From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are eight colleges and universities in Delaware. These institutions include two research universities, one master's university, one baccalaureate college, two associate's colleges, and two special-focus institutions. Five of Delaware's post-secondary institutions are private and three are public. Delaware's oldest post-secondary institution is the University of Delaware (Memorial Hall pictured), which was chartered by the Delaware General Assembly as a degree-granting college in 1833. The University of Delaware is also the state's largest institution of higher learning in terms of enrollment. Delaware has two land-grant universities: Delaware State University and the University of Delaware. The state does not have a medical school, but the Delaware Institute of Medical Education and Research reserves spaces for Delaware students at two medical schools in Philadelphia. (Full list...)

Flugelhorn

The flugelhorn is a brass instrument which is usually pitched in B. It resembles a trumpet, with a tube of the same length but a wider, conical bore. A type of valved bugle, the flugelhorn was developed in Germany from a traditional English valveless bugle, with the first version sold by Heinrich Stölzel in Berlin in 1828.
