Success has met our efforts on every hand, and our hope that we might stand second in Pennsylvania has been realized. Although we should not allow our interest in the training of our team for next year to drop, we must not forget that there are other interests in the College which claim a part of our attention, and to which we should devote some of our spare mo ments. STATE COLLEGE, PA., DECEMBER, 1892, D. W. Gross, ’93 11. P. Downs R, ’94, Loo, A year or two ago, through the energy and taste of several of our students, since graduated, we were able to organize a Glee and Banjo club which afforded a pleasant entertainment for many of the neighboring cities and towns, as well as for our own students. The tours taken by the club were successful in every sense of the word, and the fact that for the last two years no Glee and Banjo club has existed here is due only to a want of energy and “get up" in the men, who if organized and drilled could produce results worthy of the name of the Penn sylvania State College. * * * NOW that outside sports are rendered impossi ble, why not divide the time at our dispos al between the Gymnasium and music room, and devote a part of our long evenings to the pro duction of a musical organization which will great ly benefit the individual members as well as afford pleasing entertainment to our fellows ? * , * * EACH student should constitute himself a com mittee of one to attend regularly, and con sistently, to our midwinter sports. To say nothing of what each one has at stake personally, we have a position to maintain, having stood third in the May meet at Philadelphia last year, the first of our representation in the Pennsylvania Inte- Collegiate Association. This position has never before been reached by any college in the first year of its membership. There is only laziness and indifference that can prevent our standing higher this year. Let each man put himself into the best condition possible, not only for his own health and happiness, but so we may have the largest possible number of can- No. 6.
