mantown to the Link Belt Engine Works. On Saturday they
visited the R. D. Wood Co.’s works at Camden. Here they were
treated very well, and given dinner at the company’s expense. In
the afternoon everybody went to Franklin Field to witness the
game, and took seats among the numerous alumni present. It was
not all tramping around seeing plants and machine shops for the
boys, as they took in*the. theatres in the evenings. The best plays
that they saw were “The Prince of Pilsen” and “The Wizard of
Oz.” After the theatres the boys generally wandered around to
see how a great city lives during the wee sma’ hours of the night.
Withal it was a very pleasant and profitable trip.
—Promptly on the ringing of the church bell on Wednesday
evening, October 14th, the Freshmen brought their cider on the
campus, nearly opposite the post office. The Sophomores, expect
ing it, were out in body in an incredibly short time. The Fresh
men failed to provide themselves with means of opening the
barrel, consequently were unable to pass out cider to the Juniors.
The barrel was finally rolled away from the tree and the cider
spilled. After more than an hour’s hard fighting, the Sophomores
won the “scrap,” the Freshmen having been unable to give any
cider to the Juniors.
Several men were injured, one of them quite seriously. This
man is getting along well, and it is hoped will be all right soon.
The Freshmen fought bravely, and only thfough the oversight
of having no hammer, lost the fight.
—After a great deal of hard work on the part of Professors
Willard and Foster, the Young Men’s Christian Association, in
whose interests they were working, finally succeeded in employing
a permanent secretary in the person of Mr. J. R. Woodcock. Mr.
Woodcock, who was formerly of Bcllefonte, is a graduate of
Princeton, and is at present pastor of the Methodist church at
Procter. He hopes to take up the work at once. He is a very effi
cient man, and we know he will work hard for the Association.
We wish him Godspeed.
