THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1906 EDITORIAL • With examinations in full sway, the average student lays aside all other things in the week's incessant grind. The time has come when the instructor will find out what the student has learned under his teach ing. The fruits of the year's work are to be tested. Has the year 1905-06 been spent profitably ? There are two ways in which the question is considered ; the in structor uses one, the student. the other. The former gauges your ad vancement by means of marks in a blue book. the latter goes further. You have assocciated intimately with eight hundred men from every part of the great State of Pennsylva nia. You have come into contact with men of different temperaments and'men of different stations in life. All these fact Ors have combined to effect your life for better or worse. The benefits of a college education go further than recitations and ex- THE STATE COLLEGIAN aminations. The effect of all as sociations, must be considered when summing up the results of the year. In another place in this issue ap pears the advertisement of a concert to be given by the Penn State Musical Club. This club, consist ing of the orchestra and Glee club, was organized last fall, and at that time an extensive trip was planned. Unfortunately, the trip never took place but the fellows have neverthe less kept up the organization and continued their rehearsals. Now, if there is one line of work in which this college should be strong it is in college musical work and it seems strange that a permanent Glee and Mandolin Club was not organized years ago. Last year was about the first successful 'year. and after the concert in Johnstown, the Johns town critics said that " State " had given a better concert than any col lege club that had ever played there. This was a high compliment as nearly all the Pennsylvania college clubs have played in that city. The men at the head of this movement have already laid plans for.next year, and they hope to take at least a week's trip at Christmas and again at Easter. Such a thing can be successful only when thoroughly supported by the student body and it is sincerely hoped that that body will show its interest and appreciation by turn ing out en masse on Saturday even ing. A large number of subscriptions to the Collegian have not yet been paid. It is requested that those who are back will please see the Managers before the end of Com mencement. Prompt attention to this matter will be appreciated. —Don't fail to get the Commence ment issue of the Collegian. Better than ever ! Place your order now. The "Summer Baseball" Ques. The following clipping from the Philadelphia "Press" indicates very clearly the attitude of Brown Uni versity on the "summer-ball prob lem: "Providence, R. 1., June I,—The Athletic Committee yesterday made the following recommendations to be acted upon at a meeting of the un dergraduates : "That there be no restriction on Summer ball playing except on teams under the national agreement and in the Tri-State League. • 'That inter-collegiate rules are to hold in track, tennis and golf and that permission be required for play ing any sport outside during the col lege season. The meeting of the undergraduates will be held in the near future." These ideas are clear enough and fair enough to deserve adoption by every college throughout the country. Professor Gill Honored Professor Gill has been invited by the President of Wesleyan Uni versity in Middletown, Connecticut, to make an address and distribute the prizes at the coming Commence ment of his Alma Mater. There are some twenty or thirty of these, running up in value to several hundred dollars. Sacred Concert to be Omitted Owing to the serious. and pro tracted illness at her home, Miss Atherton has found it necessary, much to her regret, to give up the Sacred Concert which was scheduled for the evening of Baccalaurate Sun day. ' Kicklets. The Athletic sports during Com mencement week will draw many visitors to Beaver Field and a clean stand is always more attractive than a dirty one.
