EDITORIAL
With the beginning of the spring
session, a new edtorial board as
sumes control of the Collegian.
We waive the thread-bare custom
and ceremony of offering an apology
for our humble beginning and ask
ing that all mistakes be forgiven,
but will try to get down to business.
It will be our endeavor to give the
students a newsy paper so that they
may keep in touch with all the gen
eral happenings of the college.
How about it State men ? Let us
wake up right here and get some
real downright college spirit and en
thusiasm sifting through our dia
phrams. Last week down at An
napolis our Varsity nine played the
“middies,” and swatted them 11 to
1. Were the Navy’s men silent
and downcast throughout this one
sided contest ? Not a bit of it, me
boys, but, on the contrary, our fel
lows report that repeatedly through
out each succeeding inning came the
Navy’s thundering cheers, perfect
in measure and volume. Even when
the score stood 8 to zip in Penn
State’sfayor, the uninitiated onlooker
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
would have guessed that it was the
Midshipmen, and not State's men,
who were winning. This is the
spirit that will make us all feel
young again when we think it over
thirty years from now. So let us
get busy, State, and support our
Varsity nine, for we have surely just
reason to be proud of it at all
times. To-day (Thursday) our
first home game will be played, and
the opportunity is here for us to in
augurate the real “State” spirit.
Now remember, no crowding onto
the playing field, no personal re
marks directed at the visiting play
ers, but all State men bunched solid
ly, and cheering in downright
earnestness, also generously remem
bering the visitors when a good play
is made. Never has any State base
ball team inaugurated its season so
successfully as 1905’s nine under
Captain Ray, and “the team” needs
encouragement from every student
to insure victory in the future.
Perhaps we are knockers. At
least many say we are. However,
we care not what they call us if our
knocks do any good. Have you
ever gone into the library after dark ?
You probably have. You will recol
lect that it was with many misgivings
that you approached the steps of
the building. And you didn't find the
door knob in a hurry. Verily, a
thirty-two candle-power lamp would
save a multitude of shins.
Packard, the Humorist.
The last number on the Y. M. C.
A. Course will be given Saturday
evening, April 22nd. This entertain
ment promises to be one of the best on
the course. Packard is an all around
“funny man.” He does cartoon
work, sings comic songs, and plays
on the piano, in addition to his regu
lar work as an humorist. On account
of the lateness of the date the enter
tainment will be given at the popular
prices of twenty-five and thirty-five
cents. Watch for the posters and
circulars and remember the date,
April 22nd.
Benefit for the Bellefonte
Hospital.
A musical recital will be given in
the Bellefonte Court House on April
25th, for the benefit of the Hos
pital. A number of musical artists
have been secured from out of town
although most of them are already
well known in this locality. Miss
Edna Bradfield, violinist who has
studied under that master of violin
technique, Gustav Hiele, comes
from Philadelphia. Her playing is
marked by great warmth and singing
quality of tone as well as a musical
temperament that appeals to the
most inartistic as well as the most
musical of her audience. She will
be accompanied by Miss Helen
Frame, soprano of Constantin von
Sternberg’s conservatory of Phila
delphia, one of the best known so
pranos of the city. Miss Margery
Knowles, contralto of Richmond,
Va., will also sing and Dr. L. B.
Woodcock, baritone, and Mr.
George Brandon, pianist, both form
erly of Bellefonte, have been secured
for the occasion. This will be an
opportunity to hear good music as
well as to support a worthy cause
and should receive the generous
patronage of the people of this com
munity. If a sufficient number go
from State College arrangements
may be made for a special train.
Further particulars will be given
next week.
Miss Atherton Entertains.
On Friday evening last, Miss
Atherton entertained the members
of the various College musical
organizations at her home. A music
al guessing contest, selections by the
Glee and Mandolin Clubs and a solo
by Saunders, were some of the fea
tures that made this enjoyable even
ing pass only too quickly.
Sweet little Emily Rose,
Was tired and about to repose;
But her brother, named Clare,
Put a tack in the chair —and
