THE Y. M. C. A. RECEPTION.
One of the regular features of the opening week of Col
lege is the Y. M. C. A. reception to the whole College, and
especially to the new students. Its object is to bring the
old and new men together in social intercourse, to create in
every man a spirit of friendly helpfulness to every other man
and to show to students, new and old, that along with the
physical and mental development of College life there should
go a moral development.
The speakers of the evening were Rev. Mr. Noble and
Rev. Mr. Denniston, of State College, Rev. Mr. Brown, of
Bellefonte, Secretary Gamel, of the Bellefonte Y. M. C. A.,
Rev. Mr. Aikens, of Pine Grove Mills, and Professor Gill, of
State. General Beaver was invited but was unabie to be
present. The Cadet Band added greatly to the evening’s
entertainment. After refreshments the more than four hun
dred guests departed apparently well pleased with the first
spcial event of the college year.
