THE Foot Ball season which has just come to
a close leaves us in a position never before
occupied in the history of our institution.
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.

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-
