State Vol. 111, No 11 Pennsylvania Day Blessed with splendid weather, and graced by the presence of an unusually large number of visitors and guests of the College, this year's Pennsylvania Day was the most successful one in the history of the institution. The observance of the day was begun by public exercises in the Auditorium at 10:30 a,m., presided over by President Beaver. The platform was well filled with invited guests, most of them State officials and members of tha Legislature, and the entire faculty, in caps and gowns.

Mr. Simpson made a very inter esting and instructive address on the technical schools of Pennsylvania and the value of a technical training. Miss Mac Knight made a strong plea for better facilities for training the girls of the State in domestic science, and showed how the State College was the proper place to furnish such a training.

The work of Dr. Godcharles and the officials was especially commend able, and it was a clean, enjoyable game all through.

Henry made one yard, Hirsh man 3 and McCleary punted 30 yards, the ball falling out of bounds. Failing to gain, Ernst kicked quick- Continued on page 3
