Last Sunday morning was set aside as a memorial service in honor of our late president Dr. George W. Atherton. The Auditorium was crowded with visitors, the most con spicuous of whom were G. A. R. members who occupied the first few rows. After the usual opening service Rev. G. M. Whitenack de livered a memorial sermon. The Glee Club then creditably rendered an anthem. Dr. Gill gave a short sketch of Dr. Atherton's character as only one could who had been in close relationship with him. Gen- eral Beaver made a brief but el oquent address on sacrifice as it characterized that life whole tene -nent lies beside the auditorium. The audience joined in a hymn, aft er which Messrs. Brewster and Simon of the classes of 'O7 and 'O9 respectively touched in well chosen remarks on the life and character of our former President. The pro gram was concluded with a few words by Dr. Welsh and the sing ing of America by the congregation.

Student Conferences The attention of State College men is called to the Summer Con ferences for students that are avail able to the men of this college. The older and better known of these two is the Northfield Con ference, held at East Northfield, Massachusetts, June 28—July 7, and attended by men from the col leges in the eastern states and Cana dian provinces. The other con ference will be held at Niagara-on the- Lake, Ontario, Canada, June 14-23, and is for men in the states from Western Pennsylvania to Illi nois, and from Kentucky to On tario. The programs for these con ferences include such speakers as John R. Mott, Robert E. Speer, Bishops McDowell and Lawrence, C. S. Cooper, P. B. Meyer, of Eng land, and many others. of prom inence and eloquence. The after noons are entirely given over to athletics, and the baseball and tennis tournaments, the swimming and walking give the most delightful op portunities for the best of sport. These conferences are the most democratic and cosmopolitan of col lege gatherings, and the experience of one of them is a feature of a complete college course that one can hardly afford to miss. In the pleasures of congenial fellowship, out door life, athletic sport, newly formed friendships, and inspiring, manly comradeship with the best men in the American and Canadian col leges, these conferences are unique. Professor Reber will give a dance to the Senior engineers in McAllister Hall on Friday evening.
