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.

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. —The new buildings are rapidly going up. The dairy building College Miscellany.
