—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.
