Open Letters The STATE COLLEGIAN invites letters, but the publication of a communication does not necessarily imply the endorsement of the sentiments contained therein. As a guaran tee of good faith, the writer's name must be signed, but will not be printed if so desired. A Suggestion For a year or more the question of new bleachers for Beaver Field has been hanging fire in the meet ings of the Athletic Association. At Cornell, Princeton, and other colleges famous for their spirited cheering, the practice is to mass the entire Freshman class in a section of the bleachers, and keep them cheering constantly, led by cheer leaders chosen from their own class. Why cannot we erect bleachers adjacent to the grandstand, where the old bleachers stood, and make it a custom that all Freshmen take these seats during foot ball games and other athletic contests? Last Saturday a week the cheering was pretty fair, but not within 100 percent of the real State spirit. Let us repeat what we have said be fore in the "Collegian " that each succeeding year State's teams will be just as good, but not one iota better, except when the spirit mani fested by the student body in creases. It is college spirit that has made State's teams in the past, and, we sincerely hope, will make them greater than ever in the future. Every man on our foot ball squad is working like a Trojan every after noon out on Beaver Field, and it is the positive duty of every man in our student ranks to help whenever he can. For it is "Our Varsity," win or lose, and there are none better nywhere on Earth. Signed—A Student. To the students of State College: The State College La Vie, al though a production of the Junior class, is representative of a college year of all classes.

We hereby solicit your kind co-operation in making an interesting and valuable Annual for this college year. W. F. H. Wentzel A New Chemical Journal In the library of the Department of Chemistry is now to be found a new periodical, which is of inter est to students of State, if for no other reason than that so many State College chemists are connected with its publication. It is the Journal of the American Leather Chemists Association and is now about closing the first year of its existence. W. H. Teas, '97, is the editor and a past president of the association; C. W. Norris is the vice-president ,while J. H. Yo cum and E. J. Haley are members of the council. Among the con tributors and other experts who fig ure in its production are Chas. Eachus, J. V. R. Evans, T. J. Mosser, W. A. Fox, M. S. McDow ell, and possibly some others whom we may have overlooked. In fact, we calculate that something like forty per cent. of the activity of this new association owes its existence to State College influence and in spiration. We are glad to welcome this new contribution to chemical literature, to congratulate its editors on their very successful occupation of a large and important field, and to hope that their Journal may long continue to thrive COTRELL & LEONARD to the American Colleges and Universities Class Contracts a Specialty.
