yet uproariously funny, that it was a genuine pleas

—On Friday evening, Jan. 27th, Ex-senator
Eckley B. Coxe, President•of the Society of Amer
ican Mechanics, delivered in the chapel a lecture,
the subject of which was "Do not." It was fun
of sound advice to aspiring engineers, which the
speaker cleverly made applicable to young men in
general. Mr. Coxe possesses that engaging style
of delivery, and pleasant manner of relating anec •
dotes of his early experience, which at- once capti
vates an audience. Throughout, his discourse was
able, witty, and to the point. It showed well the
result of his wide experience.
Mr. Coxe has made a thorough study of practi
cal mining, both in this country, and in Germany,
France, and England. He is the owner of exten
sive coal mines in the Lehigh region of this State.
As an author he is well known in the engineering
world, having written one of the most thorough
treatises on the preparation of anthracite coal for
the market that has ever been published. He has
also translated several works of the German engi -
neer, Weisbach. In 1879, he founded an indus-
trial school at Drif ton, where his largest colleries
are located. Upon the subject of technical educa
tion he has written quite extensively.
We hope we may have the pleasure of hearing
Ex-senator Coxe again.
—The Pennsylvania School Journal for Decem
ber, 1892, contains an excellent editorial on our col
lege, which clearlydefines the position that the in
stitution holds. The writer, after describing its
early history, expresses regret that "a Pennsylva
nia institution of learning of so great merit and
usefulness is comparatively unknown in Pennsyl
vania," and tells of his astonishment upon learn
ing of the present status of State College. "It
came upon us," he says, "samewhat as did its vig
orous foot-ball team into the arena of the State
League, (conquering and to conquer;) which team
by the way, we heard welcomed home with hearty
cheers from the victory that gave them second
place in the foot-ball field, and encouraged their
challenge to the college holding first place for a
