EDITORIAL
During the first part of next week,
the Federation of Pennsylvania Wo
men will hold its annual meeting at
State College. We now have an
other excellent opportunity to assist
General Beaver in his efforts to
place State before the attention of
Pennsylvanians as a college that has
men within its walls, men worthy to
be called Pennsylvanians. These
delegates will come from every part
of the State and represent the wo
men who are sending their sons to
college. We want a good share of
these sons, and the way to get them
is to make evident the fact that
State is an institution for men, who
are going to succeed in their respec
tive professions. The battalion at
Harrisburg last Thursday was a cred
it to the College ; let every student
now show that he is a State man.
Y.M.C.A. Notes.
The Tuesday evening meetings
will be held at 6.30 p.m. hereafter,
instead of at 6.15. The Sunday
meetings will continue to be held at
6.15 until further notice.
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
The Entertainment Course
The Y. M. C. A. entertainment
course for the coming year has
been completed as follows :
Saturday, Nov. 3, The Temple
Quartet.
Friday, Nov. 30, The Dunbar
Company.
Friday, Dec. 14, Dr. MacDowell.
Saturday, Jan. 12, Alton Pack
ard.
Saturday. Feb. 23, Leland Pow
ers.
The Temple Quartet is a Boston
organization that has been on the
platform for a large number of
years, and has won an enviable repu-,
tation for itself. It is said to be
better than the Lotus Glee Club,
which gave such an excellent con
cert last fall. A lover of good mu
sic will hardly want to miss this
number.
The Dunbars form one of the
leading entertainment companies in
the country. They are bell-ringers,
a male-quartet, a string quartet and
carry a very fine violoncellist. They
have appeared very frequently — in
the East, filling 192 engagements
during the last season. They are
very enthusiastically recommended
by a large number of Pennsylvania
cities, including Philadelphia, Wil
liamsport, Pittsburg, Reading,
Johnstown and many others.
Dr. E. B. MacDowell gives an
illustrated lecture on the Panama
Canal, his illustrations comprising
over five hundred slides and fifteen
moving pictures. His lecture is in
no way technical, and gives in a very
interesting form a large amount of
valuable information of which many
are ignorant. Engineers please
take notice !
Just ask an upper classman about
Alton Packard. He is better than
ever, more entertaining, versatile.
and original. Everything on his
program is new. He alone is worth
the price of the course ticket.
Recommended from Portland,
Maine, to Portland, Oregon
"I w ould walk ten miles to hear
Leland Powers," said a member of
the Faculty. When you have heard
him you'll make it thirty miles.
Mr. Powers is the finest reader and
impersonator on the platform to-day,
and the committee deems itself for
tunate in being able to book him,
so crowded is his list of engage
ments. We have recommendations
from ten different colleges.
His program has not yet been se
lected from his list of fourteen, but
whatever it is, it will be one of the
greatest treats ever offered to a
State College audience.
No "fakes" on this course. All
the companies are known and will
stand strictly on their merits.
Prices for course tickets ; $1.50 ;
for reserved seat course tickets ;
$1 75. Reserved seat tickets only
will be sold at the Co-op. Other
tickets obtainable from the canvas
sers or at Room 273, Main.
The admission to each single en
tertainment will be thirty-five cents,
reserved seat, fifteen cents extra.
The Mechanical Engineering So
cie::y at Nittany Inn.
The.first banquet of the Mechani
cal Engineering Society, held after
the wrestling match one week ago
last Friday evening, aroused a lively
interest. It brought together former
members and laid before the new
men plans for the meetings to be held
this year. With P P. Partridge as
toastmaster, wit and wisdom flowed
freely. The speakers were Mr.
Howard, President of the Society,
Mr. Gerhard, speaking for the
Juniors, Messrs. Wentzell, Leitzell,
Rittenhouse and Lindemuth. Each
had something to say worth hearing
and said it in a vein of good humor,
which left a fraternal feeling among
the members of the society. The
plans for weekly . meetings, .as out
lined, are intended to bring out more
discussion on timely engineering
subjects than could be accomplished
under the former arrangement.
