EDITORIAL
According to the action taken in
the athletic meeting last week we
are to have a new athletic field be
tween the Beta Theta Pi house and
the Armory. Before going ahead
with its building it would be well to
consider the following state of
affairs. Beaver Field is an excellent
athletic field and for all sport is
about as good as can be constructed.
But is so level that after a rain it
takes days for it to dry out. The
cancelled Johnstown games will dem
onstrate this. To the best of our
knowledge all the first class athletic
fields, baseball particularly, have
some system of underground drain
age, such as brick lining, etc. With
this system installed it would be but
a matter of an hour or so to dry the
field. Now when we build our new
field this matter should by all means
be considered. We [ haven’t any
idea what the expense of such an
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
undertaking would be, but in our
way of thinking, the gate receipts
taken in at athletic events,heretofore
cancelled on account of wet grounds,
would in a short time pay what it
costs.
We don’t know whether or not it
is the intention of the authorities to
to make a path between the east
entrance of the main building and
McAllister Hall but we think such
a one would be a great convenience.
At the same time it would serve to
keep the students from breaking the
“off the grass” rule.

COLLEGE ORBIT,
A remarkable fact in the history
of Dartmouth College football is
that of the thirty-eight games played
during the past four years she has
lost but four. —Ex.
A freshman at Franklin and Mar
shal College shot into a party of
Sophomores who were hazing him.
One of the, men was wounded.
Seventy-five per cent of the students
petitioned the faculty to expell the
man but the latter caused the with
drawal of the Sophomores instead.
Andrew Carnegie is reported as
promising $500,000 to the University
of Virginia provided an equal amount
is raised by others.— Ex.
Dartmouth now offers a course
in the Japanese language.
Chicago University will hereafter
award “C” pins to the “co-eds”
who taxe first place at any athletic
meet, or make one of the first teams.
The Case Tech gives the opirions
of some professional men as to
whether employment with a large
company is more desirable than
with a smaller one. One gentleman
says : ‘ ‘The good man does better
in a small concern, the exceptional
man, in the larger one.
Syracuse University is now out of
debt for the first time in thirty years
as a result of a recent bequest of
sso,ooo.—Ex. 4
