Jennings, pastor of the First church of Germantown. In the afternoon at four o'clock there was an organ recital, dedicating the new $6,000 pipe organ presented the college by the class of 1914. The class day exercises, track meet and the Junior oratorical contest occupied the time on Monday. Tuesday was really alumni day, asthe old Grads had something doing most of the time, One of the interesting fea- tures was a reunion of the class of "64. Of the fourteen members of the class still living eleven were present at the re- union, and one of the professers of that time joined with then. One member of the class who lives in Minnesota started east but was detained by a cyclone and could not get here. Another important thing the alumni did was to start a movement for the erection of a fifty-thousand dollar social hall as a memorial to Gen. James A. Beaver. The hall will be planned asa place for holding student meetings with rooms for the accommodation of mem- bers of the alumni association when they visit the College. : At the annual business meeting of the alumni the following trustees were elect- ed: H. Walton Mitchell, Pittsburgh; J. F. Shields, Philadelphia, and James L. Hamill, Columbus, Ohio. The delegates re-elected the following trustees: W. H. Patterson, of Clearfield; Vance C. Mc- Cormick, Harrisburg, and Charles M. Swabb, of Bethlehem. They also elected L. T. McFadden, of Crawford county, vice president of the Pennsylvania Bank- ers association, a trustee for one year to fill out the unexpired term of the late General James A. Beaver, and R. E. Pet- tibone, of Wilkes-Barre, general man- ager of the Delaware and Hudson coal | interests, a trustee to serve during the { unexpired term of the late J. T. Ailman. The trustees organized by electing H. Walton Mitchell president, a position filled by Gen. Beaver for sixteen years. The commencement exercises proper were held on Wednesday morning and the main feature was the commencement address by Governor John K. Tener. The Governor took as his subject “The Penn State Ideal,” and he gave the students a good, sound, practical talk. He told them that now that they had been edu- cated by the State they were to start out in life with the determination of doing everything possible for the betterment of conditions within the Commonwealth, whether it be political, economic, social or in the world of labor. In thus doing they would reflect honor upon their Al- ma Mater, and the money appropriated by the State for the upbuilding and up- keep of State College would not have been spent in vain. He also urged them to keep in touch with the College and by their influence assist in keeping up its good work. The Governor stated that he was glad that he had had the oppor- tunity during the past three years and a half to materially aid the College and that in the future he would do anything it was possible for him to do for its ad- vancement. The valedictory for the Senior class was delivered by James Wheaton Car- penter, following which came the confer- ring of degrees and awarding of prizes. The special military award was given to Gerald Robison Butz, of State College; Frederick Charles Dose, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Edward Nixon Sullivan, of Cyn- wyd. The John W. White scholarship, $400, was awarded to Miles Horst, and the fif- ty dollar medal to Mildred Emma Ride.

Some people may think that the work of a county com- missioner is a “cinch” but if they will ask Mr. Noll or any other citizen who has undertaken, and tried to perform the duties of the position, they will discover that they have cultivated a decidedly wrong impression of the work that is to be done, and the ease with which the af- fairs of the public can be attended to. ——FTree train leaves Bellefonte 10:30 the mornings of the 19th and 20th, for the big lot sale. ——On Tuesday afternoon Mervin S.

Merv was looking to one side instead of straight ahead and to avoid running into the fence made ashort turn while the car was going at a good clip. The result was it overturned and the five men were ditched. Fortunately none of them were injured worth men- tioning but practically all the trimmings on the body of the car were smashed.

BADLY BURNED IN GASOLINE EXPLO- SION.—Ernest Struble, a son of Mr. and { Mrs. Clayton Struble, and who is a stu- | dent at State College, was badly burned | in a gasoline explosion on Tuesday even- ing of last week. Young Struble was ' cleaning his motorcycle in a room in the : Struble home, using gasoline as a clean- ‘er. It was after dark and he was using ' a lantern to furnish light. The fumes of "the gasoline eventually caught fire from ‘the lantern and an explosion followed. | Struble’s clothes caught fire and it was ' owing to the fact that the family were "all at home and their prompt action in smothering the flames that the young ' man was not burned to death. Asit was ! his hair was badly burned, his face and | hands blistered and his breast and stom- ach badly seared from his burning cloth- ing. Fortunately his burns did not prove fatal, though he has suffered considera- ble agony and is still swathed in cotton and confined to the house. Gp mm, NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —MTrs.
