C. N. Brumm and C. A. Snyder, Esq., 'B9. Over 350 guests were present. E. B. Farr, ex-1903, has entered the Law School of the University of Pennsylvania. A debating 1 club, with twenty-two members, has been organized at State within the last few weeks. The purpose of the organization is to have a series of debates with one or two other colleges in our class. An invitation to join a debating union comprising Dickinson, Lafayette, Franklin and Marshal and State has been received and accepted. There is no reason why the honor of the college should not be upheld in this branch of intercollegisite contests as well as in athletics, and the movement should receive the support of every loyal State man. Next term will be marked by the inauguration of a new order of things in the department of physical training. Last year, physical training lapsed into a state of decline, but now everything indicates that this departmet is to be made what it should—a source of benefit to the students, and a credit to the college. Orders have been placed for over three hundred dollars’ worth of apparatus, with which to equip the armory as a gymnasium, and the old apparatus is to be repaired. Men are at work in the basement of the armory cementing a por tion of it, preparatory to the placing of baths. There \yill be eleven showers, and four sponge baths. A regular system of gymnasium exercise will be estab lished and Sub-Freshmen, Freshmen, and Sophomores will be required to take this exercise two hours per week. , It will be positively required of all those who take gymnasium ex ercise to provide themselves with rubber soled shoes a.nd some kind of a gymnasium suit. With a regular system of physical training established, COLLEGE NOTES.
