EDITORIAL
Once more have our debating
teams gone out to meet their rivals,
and, we regret to say, to be defeated
Since only one team could win, we
trust that in both cases the victory
went to the better team. Only a
word remains to be said on the sub-
ject of last week's debates. Do not
forget that the men who represented
our college on these teams worked
hard and faithfully to bring victory
to State. Instead of putting on a
track or a baseball suit and getting
outdoors for brisk practice, they
went to the library; and most of us
know what perseverance and con
centration and self-control are nec-
essary in the preparation of ade
bate. So let us give them the
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
praise that is justly theirs, with the
hope that next year's contests will
crown their efforts with victory.
All honor to the debaters!

C. L. Gilson, 'O6, has been made

The New Agricultural Building.
It seems quite probable that the
present Legislature will appropriate
the necessary funds for the com
pletion of the new Agricultural
building. As soon as the money is
available, steps will be taken to rush
the remainder of the work, and if
possible, the building will be pu: in
use next fall. This stately structure,
of Italian style, will be, when com
pleted, one of the best equipped
buildings in the country devoted to
instruction in agriculture.
The basement of the north wing
will contain a combustion laboratory
and a room for the study of animal
nutrition. On the floor above there
is to be a large assembly hall, and
over that a i oom for agricultural
chemistry. The central part of the
building, from the basement up,
will be divided into offices, libraries,
and lecture rooms. The south wing
will furnish room for stock judging
and agricultural engineering in the
basement, agronomy, lecture rooms,
and a museum on the first floor,
and correspondence work on the
second. The Dairy building in the
rear will be connected with and
made a part of the main structure.
With these excellent facilities, State
will be able to carry on this phase
of its work with a thoroughness not
excelled by any similar institution.

Hog the seat by sitting in the
middle of it. If anybody has the
nerve to try to sit witn you, hand
them an onion
Don't expect the conductor to
apologize when he walks on your
feet. You have no business having
your feet with you.
If the conductor overlooks your
fare, report the matter to the
company. Some conductors have
no sense of honesty.
It is impolite to tell the man in
front of you that there is a bedbug
on his collar.
