.—The University Inn has had a change in management, A. L. Westcott, the former proprie tor, having been succeeded by Mrs. G. L. Clark, of Pittsburg. —The Freshmen rushed prepdom Friday night, the 28th of September, the fracas taking place on the entrance steps to the preparatory department. After twenty minutes of fighting, but before vic tory had perched on the banner of either side, the troops appeared on the scene and hostilities were discontinued. —On the afternoon of Wednesday the loth of October, the battalion went to Bellefonte, in or der to take part in the funeral procession of Ex- Gov. Curtin. Two thousand men were in line, including many different military organizations. State had the honor of bringing up the rear, and the cadets' marching was the equal, if not superior—to any along the whole line. On August 17th a dance was given at Ridley Park, Pa., by the college men of Delaware and Chester counties. Its success was due mainly to the efforts of A. D. McDade '93, U. of Pa. and J. F. Shields '92, and A. F. Damon '94, of Penna. State. P. S. C. was represented by G. S. Demming '9O, F. N. Weidner '9l, J. F. Shields '92, A. F. Damon '94, Kremer '94, R. F. Kelker Jr. '96 and L. L. Johnson, Ex-'96. During the inter mission the State boys gave their college yell with a vigor that quite surprised the other col legians present. —The latest addition to the Engineering build gin is the new triple expansion Corliss engine, built by A. P. Allis & Co., of Milwaukee, Wis. This is the third engine of this type built by the com pany, the other two being at Cornell University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Richmond, at Richmond Va. Nov. 5. University of Virginia, at Charlotts ville, Va. Nov. 17. Franklin and Marshall at Lancaster Nov. 29. Pittsburg . Athletic club at Pittsburg This would appear to be an excellent schedule did we not know that several of the dates have been cancelled already by the opposing team. It is strange that, while State goes around seeking whom she may devour and willing to play any worthy opponent who will keep a date with her, very few of the colleges care to do so. Such is the penalty of greatness, but we can afford to rest a little while upon our laurels, acknowledging, as we do so, only four superiors on the football field, the four great universities.
