Penn• State Musical Club Con.
The concert by the Penn State
Musical Club in the Auditorium last
Saturday drew merited praises from an
enthusiastic audience. From first to
last the whole program was an excell
ent one, both in choice and rendition,
and the appreciated hearers encored
every number.
The concert was substituted this
year for the Pharsonians which has
hitherto been the Saturday night at
traction of Commencement week.
The old minstrel show was forgotten in
the enthusiastic reception tendered the
Orchestra and Glee Olub. One step
forwa4 has been taken in placing the
more refined music before Commence
ment guests and omitting the old horse
play of the Pharsonions.
Especially good were the selections
by the Glee Club, "Winter Song" and
the laughable "Mrs. Winslow's Sooth
ing Syrup," and those by the Orches
tra "It Happened in Nordland," and
"Higgledy Piggledy."
R. P. Farrington, 'O6, rendered
"The Rosary" with splendid expres
sion, as a violin solo, and responded to
an encore with "Sing Me to Sleep."
The club has shown its ability and sure
ly will be supported by the student
Indy in the future.

THE STATE COLLEGIAN
Annual Meeting of the Phi
Kappa Phi.*
The meeting for inititation into the
, K. , 1) fraternity was held• yesterday at
8.30 a.m. in the Engineering Building.
The two honorary elections of the year
were D. L. Patterson, State, '95, and
Dean Frank L. Graves of the Univer
sity of Missouri. At the public meet
ing held at 10.30 Dr. Graves addressed
the meeting on the subject "Our Debt
to President Eliot." The college
orchestra furnished music on this oc
casion. The members elected from
the class of 1906 are :
R. M. Caswell, A. W. Deuel, R. P.
Farrington, A. L. Ferver, C. D. Flick
inger, T. F. Foltz, G. C. Glenn, J. C.

The 1907 La Vie is a little late in
making its appearance but it is a good
. one. A great many clever and original
features have been added this year by
the staff, which has worked earestly to
produce a volume better in every •re
spect than its predecessors. That
they have succeeded seems evident
from the way in which orders have
been received.
One of the chief attractions is a
characteristic sketch of each member
of the Junior class, which with the
other sketches and cuts make the
copy an interesting one pictorially from
cover to cover.
Band Concert
On Sunday evening of the close of
the Y.M.C.A. meeting the college
band gave an open air sacred concert
on the campus. The music was in
spiring and very enjoyable, but the
coming of a shower caused the con
cert to be cut short. Another concert
is expected during the week.
