The 1908 La Vie
(By the Editor-in-chief)
It may be of some interest to our
students and patrons to get a gen
eral idea of the nature of the 1908
La: Vie. The Junior class has en
deavored to make this publiz:ation a
portrait of Penn State that will depict
every sphere of its life and sur
roundings. It is dedicated to the
memory of our late President Atherton,
and contains a very interesting
sketch of his life and a condensed
history of the college trom its
earliest beginnings to the present
time. There have been i Aroduced,
as a new feature, portraits and short
sketches of eighteen alumni chosen
as representative of the various de
partments and periods of our col
lege history. This will portray the
accomplishments of our alumni, and
will show the real worth of the train
ing given in the various courses at
Penn State.
All tne re:ular features and cus
toms of the place are included with
all the spice appropriate to appear
in print. Spec:al pains have been
taken to avoid any matter that might
be misconstrued in such a way as to
hurt the college or convey a false
impression of the place. This does
not mean that we have cut out the
funny side. Scores of pages are
full of good natured knocking.
While we have a good word for
every one, there are but few stu
dents and fewer teachers who have
not received special mention. A
number of them have a full page
devoted to their special benefit.
About fifty pages are utilized under
the title "Just for Fun. "
There are a greater number of
artistic masterpieces embodied in
this work tnan in any other college
annual of its type. It includes a
photogravure of Dr. Atherton of
the best type obtainable, a number
of steel engravings, and a variety of
work by our artists and outside
patrons, This work, complete, em-

I AVE you ever noticed the
-- self-possessed bearing of a
man who is well attired ?
With what grace and ease he
moves around ? That's the feeling a
man has when he dons a "Sim" suit.
When a man knows he looks right—he
feels right--for greater things. A
"Sim" will assure his of his "presenta
bility."
It's clothing that embodies the three
great pi inciples, right fit, right style,
right price. You well know-that when
you have a "Sim" suit, you are right.
