EDITORIAL
With this issue the new board
takes control of the Collegian. We
shall endeavor to continue the policy
of the retiring board and make an
effort to place the Collegian in a
position that will be a credit to the
institution.
Spring fever is a common afflic
tion in the student body at present.
It is a germ disease, apparently,
caught from the air, or weather, and
is known to have afflicted Faculty
as well as students. Only they do
not recognize its potency, except as
applied to themselves (the Faculty),
and consequently we have to bear
the brunt of the work, for, when a
Prof. doesn't care to hold a recita
tion he "springs a quiz." The
disease cannot be treated by ordi
nary methods. Even liberal doses
of sundaes at the drug store fail to
produce results, and the dopiness,
the dazed feelings, and the don't-

care-what-happens condition of the
simple student are subjects of daily
conversation, provided one is not
too tired to converse. We sleep
through chapel, morning recitations,
and afternoon practicums,but are al
ways awake when the word comes,
"Class excused." We'll sleep
throughout the spring term, and
then suddenly wake up to find ex
aminations upon us. Well, college
life i 3 most pleasant now, and what
enjoyment there is in it, we wish
to find,for all too soon, Commence
ment speakers will be droning about
"the hard, hard life in the cold, cold
world," and in truth, "sufficient unto
the day is the evil thereof."
To the students of the Leland
Stanford, Jr. University, the stu-.
dents of Penn State extend their
most earnest and heartfelt sympa
thy.
COLLEGE NOTES
Charles Aull, '92, was a recent
visitor at the college.
According to the custom the
seniors were excused from daily
chapel last Tuesday for the balance
of the year.
The freshman caps are here.
They are a pleasing green in color,
and although they are not striking,
they are characteristic enough to
distinguish the wearer.
The Literary and T.M.W. Clubs
of the local M. E. church will hold
a unique contest Friday evening in
which twenty prominent ladies and
gentlemen will take part. The affair
will be in the store room next to the
post office and all students are in
vited.
Kraenzein, the famous Pennsyl
vania sprinter and broad-jumper
has taken charge of the Wisconsin
track team as coach.
Senior Banquet
Tomorrow evening (Friday) the
Seniors will gather around the
festive board at Nittany Inn where
they will for the last time give the
inner as well as outer man a chance
to show himself. Heckathorne will
act as toastmaster and will call
on about half a dozen men for
spouts.
Previous to this year all class
banquets have been held cut of
town but the facilities of the new
Inn makes it a very appropriate
and covenient place for the upper
class banquets.

Mr. H. H. Stoek, editor of
"Mines and Minerals," of Scranton,
and formerly connected with the
