The La Vie, which is to be published by Mat thews, Northrup & Co., of Buffalo, N. Y., went to press on March 23rd. The Staff expect to place it in the hands of subscribers on or before May 3oth. At a recent meeting of the Athletic Association, J. Frank Shields, originator of the Pennsylvania Inter-Collegiate Foot Ball Association, was elect ed to represent this college on the Executive Committee of the above association. Three members of the Senior Class in the Civ il Engineering course have taken conjointly as the subject of their graduation thesis "A gravity sup• ply of water for State College." They propose to bring the water across the valley from shingle town Gap. Accordirg to the usual custom the class of '94 hoisted their flag on the Armory tower on Satur day, March 2 tst. No rush followed, since the Sophomores had been placed in such a position by the ruling of the Faculty, that class action was an impossibility. Louis Alves De Oliveira, Jr., of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, has entered college. He has been but three months in this country, so he will devote his time to acquiring our language until the opening of the fall session when he will regularly enter the course in civil engineering. The following speakers took part in the Fourth Public Rhetorical Exhibition held in the college chapel on Wednesday evening, March 18th. Read, Stephenson, McKee and Misses Shaffer and Meek of '92, John Furst, Gross, and McDonnell of '93, Brewer, Kirk, White, Pyne and Waite and Miss Sawyer of '94. Both the Washingtion and Cresson Societies have added to their membership several of our Co-Eds during the term. We are pleased to see this tendency on the part of the ladies arid are sure that not only will they receive benefit from the literary work, but that they will add greatly to the life and vigor of the societies. THE FREE LANCE. Yocum, '9l, as manager of the base ball team, is arranging dates for games with several colleges. It is not probable, however, that we will have many games on our home diamond. During vacation a number of the students who remained about the college put up a tennis court in the drill hall of the College Armory. It made an excellent place to practice the game and afford ed a very good means of passing the time for those men who spent their vacation here. While out on horse-back during vacation (ac companied by a lady) Kintner, '93, was thrown violently from the spirited animal which he was riding. Falling into a soft and muddy portion of the road, together with his presence of mind in clinging to the reins while flying through the air, saved him, fortunately, from sustaining any bodily injury. The second college assembly of the year will be held in the Armory on the 2 4th of April, under the auspices of the Senior class. The music will be furnished, as usual, by Stopper and Fiske's or chestra of Williamsport. It is to be hoped that more of the students will attend the coming As sembly than have in the past and thus aid the class of '9l in making it both a social and a finan cial success. The following is the standing of the Triangle Whist Club as regards rubber points for their series of games played during the past term : Name. Points. Downing, . McLean, . Prof. Reber, . Read, . .
