Song Book Arrived, The song book has at last arrived and from reports is receiving a very favorable reception. Within its cov ers are nearly a hundred recognized college songs, thirteen of which aie distinctively State songs. Some of these havebeen composed especially for thisbook wh'le many of the older songs have been rearranged advan tageously. The college medley ap pears with its music for the first lime. The book is well bound in a blue stiff cover containing the words "Penn State Song Book” with a picture of the willow and Old Mam. The book is dedicated to Dr. Gill. Miss Helen Atherton and J. B. Wyckoff, ’OB, are the compilers and deserve great credit for the pains and labor they have spent on it. It is a much needed article the want of which had been felt for many years. The book compares very favorably with those published by the large universities and certain ly is in keeping with the unusual growth of affairs at State. The book sells at a dollar per copy which just about covers the publishing expense. Every State man should have one of these books if he want to keep up with the dic tates of college spirit. We would suggest giving her one for an Easter present. The Agricultural Banquet, Last Thursday evening the agri cultural students held their’ annual banquet in McAllister Hall. There were about one hundred present, in c’uding the instruc'ors of the depart ment with their wives, the regular four year students in agriculture,and also those who are taking short courses in that department. Vice ■President Buckhout acted as toast master. All the instructors and W. H. Wolff, ’O6, responded to appro priate toasts. It was proposed and agreed that a business meeting should be held Monday evening .in THE STATE COLLEGIAN the Botanical building for the pur pose of organizing a permanent agri culture society. After the banquet there was some music and then pro gressive games were played until twelve o’clock. The following resolution concern ing the Adams’ Agricultural Ex periment Station Appropriation Bill was unanimously adopted: "The Agiicul ural Faculty and students of The Pennsylvania State College, assembled at their annual banquet, extend to the-Hon. H. C. Adams their congratulations upon the unanimous passage by the House of Representatives of his bill in creasing the national appropriation to the Agricultural Experiment Sta tions, and express their high appre ciation of his tireless efforts for the promotion of agricultural advance-, ment.” Y.M.C.A. Notes Not a man of the four hundred students who heard H. E. Dodge last Sunday evening regrets the time spent then in the Old Chapel.. Such a clear friendly, plain, business-like talk to young men on the evils that beset them,and the inevitable results that follow, has not been heard in State College in a long time. After the meeting, which lasted an hour and a- half, hundreds of fellows pressed to the platform to grasp Mr. Dodge by the hand. At the earnest solicitation of many of the students Mr. Dodge stayed over on Monday and in the evening gave a similar talk on "Chains that Bind.” The Old Chapel was more crowded than on the previous evening. Mr. Dodge, who is General Secre tary of the Y M.C.A. at Warren, Pennsylvania,has delivered addresses to young men throughout the east, and is remarkable for his power of convincing and for his sympathy with the problems of young men. State’s delegation started for the Nashville Conference -on Tuesday, and will be gone one week. On Sunday evening, March 11, some things about this convention will be heard from those who are attending the Association meeting. Stag Dance. The "stag” dance held in Mc- Allister Hall Saturday evening was an unusually successful one. Fully three hundred fellows turned out to enjoy themselves with dancing which lasted from 8 to 11 o’clock. The band, which has been increased by about ten men, played exceptionally well, many new selections as well as some of the old "stand by’s” being given. Between dances the fellows formed in groups and made the hall resound with their songs.
