CoMMENCEMENT AT THE PENNSYLVA-
NIA STATE COLLEGE. — If the board of
trustees bad had the weather mode to order
week for the forty-eighth annual com-
mencement of The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege than shat fiom last Friday evening
until Wednesday of this week. The only
rain was on Monday and while is disar-
ranged the program for that day to a cer-
tain extent it had the effect of cooling the
atmosphere so that Tuesday and Wednes-
day were ideal days. And the commence-
ment itsell was ondoubtedly the largess
and most interesting ever held. By far the
largest number of old students were back
to visit their alma mater, a fact which
shows the deep interest they all feel in the
wellare of the college, while over three
hundred house guests occupied the various
fraternity houses and rooms in MoAllister
ball during the week. Of course the daily
attendance from Bellefonteand surrounding
towns was also quite large. Naturally the
formal insaguration of Dr. Edwin Erle
Sparks, as president of the college, was one
of the features that added interest to the
commencement exercises, but aside from
that the program was varied enough to
keep everybody present on the move.
While she commencement proper did not
begin until Sunday as a preliminary the
Pharsonians, she college minstrels, gave an
entertainment in the aoditorinm on Fri-
day evening. Saturday afternoon the ball
came between State and W. U. P. was
close and exciting enough to keep the in-
terest at the top votch and States finish
with a 1 to 0 score in the ninth inning was
naturally bailed with delighs by the large
crowd present. The concert in the even-
ing by the combined musical clubs of the
college aud she little play, "On the Inside,”
by the Sopbomore class afforded pleasing
entertainment to the visitors.
The commencement proper began on
Sunday morning with the preaching of the
baccalaureate sermon in the auditorium by
Rev. Jobn Knox McClurkin, of Shadyside
United Preshyterian church, Pittsburg.
The reverend gentleman preached a most
interesting and instructive sermon from the
text, “Friend, go up Higher.” In keeping
with the Sabbath day the cadet band gave
a sacred concert on the front campus in the
afternoon and one in the anditorinm in the
evening while an oven air Y. M. C. A.
meeting was held at six o'clock.
The rain on Monday cut out the Soph-
omore—Freshman base ball game, the re-
view of the corps of cadets and the Senior
class exercises on the campus, but the
track meet with W. U. P. was held despite
the rain. Ibn this State was an easy viotor,
scoring 80 points to Wap’s 24. The Junior
oratorical contest Monday evening drew a
large audience to the auditorium. There®
were six ocoutestants, Andrew A. Berland,
Herbert H. Acheson, Domiugo Panain,
Warren E. Hoffman, William C. Weaver
and Karl H. Marsh. The judges awarded
the Barlow fifty dollar prize to Mr. Marsh
and the College oratorical prize of twenty-
five dollars to Mr. Pavain. The Philo-
chorean reception followed the Juniors’
contest,
Tuesday was u big day so far as attend.
presence of old students. Class reunions
were a feature and is was a noteworthy
fact that every class from 1861 was repre-
sented with the exception of about eight
or ten. The address of Prof. A. A. Brene-
man, of New York, on “Dr. Evan Pugh’
before the Phi Kappa Phi fiaternity, Tues-
day morning, was listened so with close
attention and much appreciated by all who
heard ie,
Taesday afternoon the delegates met
and elected the following trustees : Charles
M. Schwab, Col. John A. Woodward,
Vaace T. McCormick, of Harrisharg, and
William H. Patterson, of Clearfield, the
two latter new men on she board. With
the cadet hand concert, the alumni parade
and field events and the Sophmore—Fresh-
man baseball game there were enough out.
door events Tuesday afternoon to keep the
hig orowd fully occupied. Tuesday even-
ing The Thespians gave their prasentation
of “The Toastmaster,’”’ after which han-
dreds attended tha annual alumni reception.
In addition there were dances at many of
the fraternity houses so that social gayesy
reigued supreme antil an early hour in
the morning.
One very pleasing announcement was
made on Taesday ty the board of trustees
in effect that word had heen received from
the commission baving the matter in
charge that State bad been placed on the
list of colleges entitled to share in the
Carnegie pensioners retirement fond, and
that Prof. I. Thornton Osmond, dean of
the school of mathematics and physics, hat
been named as the first of State's faculty
to share iu its benefits. Naturally this
was exceedingly good news to all, as it
was feared State would never be recognized
by beiug placed on the list.
While every day of commencement was
a big day Wednesday was undoubtedly the
day of greatest interest, hecause it marked
not only she graduation of the class of one
hundred and twenty-seven young men but
also the formal inauguration of Dr. Edwina
Erle Sparks, as president of the college.
Every available space in the new aunditor-
inm was taken when the exercises opened
at 9 45 o'clock in the morning. Alter the
invocation by Dr. Benjamin Gill there
were four addresses of weloome. William
Benjamin Geise, '08, delivered the address
for the student body; Richard W. Wil.
liamson, '93, for the alumni; Dr. William
A. Buckhout, "68, for the faculty,and Gen.
James A. Beaver for the board of trustees.
Dr. Sparks responded briefly and after
music hy the orchestra the new presidens
‘was formally introduced and made his
fssue of the WarcaMAN.,
inaugural and commencement address. In
part he spoke a« follows:

At the conclusion of his address the new
president was applauded so vociferonsly as
to leave no doubs in the minde of anyone
bow warmly he was already regarded by
the student body.
The valedictory for the Senior class was
delivered by William Francis H. Wentzel,
after which the degrees were conferred and
prizes and commissions awarded. Before
the moining’s meeting was brought to a
olose Mrs. George W. Atherton presented
to the college a large sepia portrait of her
late husband, Dr. George W. Atherton,
former president of the coliege, which will
be hung in a conspicuous place in the new
library. H. Walton Mitchell, of Pitts-
burg, on behalf of the alamni asscoiation,
presented to Gen. James A. Beaver, the
retiring acting president, a replica of St.
Gauden’s ““The Paritan,”’ in bronze. The
statue stands almost four feet high on a
pedestal of verde antique marble and isa
beautiful work of art. Gen. Beaver was
very much affected at this mark of appre-
ciation and acoepted the gilt iu a speech
fraught with intense feeling.
The inauguration exercises were com-
pleted in the afternoon with another meet-
ig in the anditorinm. Among the emi-
nent educators present were Dr. McCormick,
of the Western University of Pennsyl
vania ; Dr. Edward Reed, of Dickinson,
and Rev. C. T. Aiken, of Susquehanna
University. The addresses in the afternoon
were delivered by Dr. Alexander Crombie
Humphreys, president of Stevens Institute of
Technology, Hohoken, N. J., and Dr. Panl
Shorey, head of the department of Greek,
University of Chicago. This gathering
closed the exercises of the week, and all
who attended could not help but admis
that they were unusually suocessfal.
At 3:30 o'clock State’s bali teaws lined
up for the last time against the alomni avd
as evidence that the old players still know
the game they held the 'Varsity down to
the close score of 2 to 1. After the game
the members of the team got together and
unanimously elected ‘‘Hefl”’ Hirshman,
first baseman, captain of the team for 1909.
From five to six o'clock in the afternoon
an informal reception was tendered the
commencement guests by Dr. and Mrs,
Sparks, at their residence, and the Jouviors’
farewell reception to the Seniors in the
evening wound ap the weeks exercises.
The graduatiog class numbered one
bundred and twenty seven, and among
them were the following from Centre coun-
ty : Joseph Samuel Knapper, Philipsburg ;
Frederick William Heckel, State College ;
Harry Seel Stanton, Philipshurg ; Broce
Swoll Gramley, Spring Mills ; William
Thomas Dunn, State College ; John
Thompson Henry, Martha Farvace ; George
Gibbs Jones, Osceola Mills ; George Harry
Wion and Stanley Burnside Valentine,
Belletonte, and Balser Weber, Howard.
In the above Stanton was one of the
first honor men and Wion and Knapper
took second honors. John Lieb Darst was
one of the winners of the trustees’ Fresh-
man scholarships, valued at eighty-five
dollars each.
According to the annual report, there
are enrolled 1147 students, 5050 in corres-
pondenoce courses, while ten years ago State
bad bat 345 students. The faculty pum-
bers 114. It was announced that a new
department had been created hy the hoard
of trustees. It is the phrsical culture
course, and will be under the charge of
“Pop’’ Golden, the football coach. Again,
State finds further room for congratulation
in the thought shat the new agricultural
school will bave eighty Freshmen enlisted
for the coming year and bas a rosy outlook
tor the following year.
