—The exhibit of P. S. C. for the World’s Fair
is rapidly assuming shape. ' A great number of
wing frames will be arranged on posts giving a

of pupils will be submitted by the departments of
Physics, Electrotechnics and Chemistry. The
flora of this region will be shown by the depart

Among the possibilities is a relief map of the
grounds, showing the contour of the campus, loca
tion of the buildings, etc. However the most
extensive and-exact portion of the display, will be
the photographs. These are selected with a view
of giving the most correct and definite idea of the
institution, its surroundings and its workings.
Thedifferentbuildings, panoramas of the grounds,
military, athletic grounds, and gymnasium inter

es at practicums, different military drills, field
athletics and interiors will be exhibited by small

The display will be with the other colleges and
the public schools. These were to be in the Lib

it is likely that a spec f al building will be erected
for the Educational exhibit.
State’s team defeats its rival 18 to o. One of
the most exciting games of foot ball ever witness
ed here, was played oh Beaver field at Ihe College
on Saturday afternoon Nov., 12th. This game
has been the subject of conversation especially
among foot-ball enthusiasts, ever since the term
opened. Our being defeated last year by Buck
nell so aroused our students that nothing except
that which they witnessed last Saturday, “Buck
nell’s being hopelessly defeated,” could console
them. The game was well advertised in the sur
rounding towns, the result of which was a good
representation from all over the State.
