EDITORIAL
Instead of the regular issues for
next week and the week following,
the two will be combined and a
special Commencement number will
appear on the Saturday preceding
Commencement. We expect to
have excellent cuts of all the athletic
teams, with an interesting summary
of the year's work. The final issue
will be by far the best of the year.
"0 class spirit thou art a jewel."
If the attendance at the Freshman-
Sophomore debate last Saturday
evening is an indication of the spirit
existing in the two lower classes,
then class loyalty is a jewel indeed.
For weeks the eight men who had
been chosen to represent the classes
had worked hard and faithfully.
IHE STATh COLLEGIAN
When the presiding officer called
the house to order, fifty Sopho
mores,oi in round numbers one-third
of the class. were present ; the
Freshmen numbered about one hun
dred, or considerably less than half
of the class.
The moral is obvious. We can
not afford to weaken our class spirit
and our college spirit by failing to
support the men who represent us in
inter-class contests. True college
loyalty cannot exist without class
loyalty, and the men who stayed at
home to "grind" or to "loaf" last
Saturday evening made a serious
mistake. Think it over.
A pleasing sign of the new order
of things is the closer relationship
between faculty and students as in
dicated by the fact that there has
been this year more social contact
between these two parts of our col
lege community than ever before.
Numerous entertainments have been
tendered to various parts of the stu
dent body by individuals or groups
of faculty members, chief of which
has been the Cotillion Club reception
to the Senior class. All of these af
fairs have been greatly appreciated
and have done much toward bring
ing about that mutual understanding
and co-operation which should
characterize every institution of
higher learning.
The first serious attempt to solve
one of the most important questions
before the student body was taken
by .the adoption of an honor system
by the Senior and Junior Electricals.
In the discussion of this question
which took place in these columns
earlier in the year a marked differ
ence of opinion was manifested as to
the desirability of adopting such a
system, although it seems to be
generally agreed that some change
from the pi esent method was need
ed. The system as adopted is a
strong one and its working will be
watched with great interest by both
frit:nds and foes of the honor sys
tem. Whatever may be the out
come, the faculty and students of
the Electrical department are. to be
commended for their efforts to solve
a problem of importance to the en
tire institution.

The Lafayette Meet
Saturday's meet with Lafayette
on Beaver field proved to be quite
interesting. In spite of the cold
weather and rain, a large crowd saw
State win by the score of 56 to 48.
The track was in fine shape and
several exciting finishes were made,
but it was too cold for vet y fast
time. Ogilvie and Hirshtiaan were
two new men to win their. "S,"
while Lee and Chalmers broke their
own records in the high jump and
