—The morning after election Dr. Atherton an nounced in chapel that General Hastings said he would consider it an honor to have the State Col lege cadets as a special escort at his inauguration in Harrisburg, Jan. 14th. The announcement was received by the students with applause. Hardly a year passes that the battalion does not take part in some military event and the drilling of the cadets is the subject of frequent favorable comment. Upon this occasion there is no reason why it should not surpass all former times, as the new cadets have had more drill this fall than is usually given. . —The annual report of the college is expected to be out in January. The cuts in the last report, taken from photographs of the exterior and in terior of the buildings, and of the college grounds, were satisfactory as far as they went, that it was decided to make the next issue as complete as pos sible in this line, far ahead of its predecessor in every point. As a consequence, photographer Bretz, of Pottsville, has been here for two weeks taking photographs which will give outsiders as good an idea of the college as can be obtained on paper. The report will contain one hundred and fifty illustrations, which will make it a book of in terest as well as information. PERSONALS. Ex-'97. F. T.
