Entered at State College Post Office as second class matter LAST year a new feature was added to our college life, a lecture course. Financially it was not as much of, a success as was ex pected, and it looked as if the LANCE would be afraid to venture on another one this year. This however is a mistake. Profiting by last year's les sons, we. intend to furnish a course that cannot fail to be popular.

We have excel lent material here, plenty of it, and there is no reason why we should not turn out a winning team. Mr. Hoskins, to whom we owe so much of our success in the last two years in all branches of athletics, is going to do his best to earn that cup, and, if the boys respond to his calls for men, the No. 4.
