Although at death's door the latter part of May and June, he rallied, only to weaken again and breathe his last on the 24th of July. What he has done for State is well known and appreciated, and need not be mentioned further. The stand ing of the College is a fitting wit ness. In spite of the constant and un tiring efforts of the Trustees, no one has yet been secured to succeed Dr. Atherton. In order that the College may have an executive to guide its affairs, General James A. Beaver, President of the Board of Trustees, has accepted the Presidency tempo rarily at the request of the Board, and has entered into the work of the office with his well-known enthusiasm and vigor. In spite of the many inconveniences and difficulties oc casioned by the change in the ad ministration, the present college year bids fair to be a prosperous one un der the capable leadership of Gen. THE STATE COLLEGIAN Beaver and Dr. Welsh, who has left Bloomsburg State Normal to accept the Vice-Presidency of the College. With the opening of a new college year we are glad to greet our old friends and also our new ones. Many faces with which we were so familiar have not reappeared for the further pursuit of knowledge, but a new army has arisen to take their places. The merits and demerits of the new men are as yet unknown ; however, the opportunity will soon be given for demonstrating their worthiness to be called State men. Freshmen, be careful of your Alma Mater! Be sure to preserve- her honor and dignity, and uphold her present high standing among the educational institutions of the day. It is the bearing of the student body that determines the success or fail ure of any college. To all State men, particularly the Freshmen, we wish to make Our selves known. It is in the interest of State men that the "Collegian" is published, and from such must its support be expected. Whether the paper is successful or not is a matter for your judgment and considera tion ; at any rate, it cannot be with out your support. When you come to college you expect a college pa per of college news. If you will be consistent, you must support it, not merely financially but in the way of news contributions. A well support ed publication brings you and your college more honor than a poorly supported one. The editors and managers are giv ing considerable time in the interest of the "Collegian," and they expect you to do your share. Show your true college spirit and subscribe. But don't stop there. If yow have news of interest to the undergradu ates or alumni let us have it ; it will be greatly appreciated. Owing to the press of other work, S. H. Yorks, 'O7, has tendered his resignation to the " Collegian board. F. K. Brewster, 'O7, who has been on the Editorial staff since the or ganization of the paper will assume at once the position vacated by rr. Yorks. ,t,... All subscriptions may be paid t? ,, Mr. Brewster.or to any of his.lassisi , 1907 La Vie The best "State" annual that has ever been offered to the alumni, students, professors and friends . of the College, is the present La. Vie : To enumerate all its good points or to• speak of the many andvaried . changes over former annuals . Would occupy too much space, and take up time that you could profitably and enjoyably spend in perusing its pages. It is distinctly a College publication, and repeating the words of Gen. Beaver in his speech at the Y.M.C.A. reception, "it is entitled to your support." You are riot a true "State" man unless it is found in your library. Copies of the book can be purchased at the ' Co-op. Just the thing for a present to your best friend. Mail orders will be promptly attended to if addt . essed to the Manager of the 1907 La Vie. Notice As it is out of the question for the management to see every student personally within the next few 'days in order to get subscriptions; al students will be considered as sub scribers to the " Collegian " unless written notice is sent to the mana ger. All men, old and new will re ceive the first issue free. The price for one year is $1.50 or $1.25 if paid on or before October 31.. Please send in your subscription early. The "Collegian" room, 323 Main, will be open every Monday evening from 7.00 to 8.00 p. m. to receive subscriptions.
