Ladies Cottage Rules The regulations enforced in the Main Building and McAllister Hall are familiar to all, but the rules which govern the residents at the Ladies Cottage may be of interest and are now made public for the first time.

Professor Louis E. ?eber, Dean of the School of Engineering, has announced his resignation from the college faculty and his intention to enter a new field of labor at the University of Wisconsin. the resignation of Professor Re ber from our Engineering Depart ment leaves a place that will be hard to fill. His whole life has been spent here a State College, first as a student, and finally as Dean of the School of Engineering and head of the Mechanical Depattment. He designed ann supervised the con struction of the present engineering building, and has drawn up the DEAN L. E. REBER plans for the extensive additions to be made soon. Prof. Reber is recognized as an expert and an authority on engineer ing work. He was in charge of the Mining exhibit at the World's Fair in 1893. At St. Louis in 1904 he received a special medal for his work and original design in the installation of the Pennsylvania Minint exhibit. His work here will be finished this fall, and as soon as he can get away he will take up his new duties at the University of Wisconsin. At Wisconsin he will have an executive position as head of a cor respondence course in engineering. This departure has never been attempted by any other college, but has been discussed many times. Its success at Wisconsin will mean adop tion by other colleges and eventually an important part of tneir instruction. Prof. Reber is given full charge of the department, beginning imme diately with its organization. Every thing being under his direction, he will be responsible for the success of the new course. The president of Wisconsin University has spent much time in consideration of capable men for the position, and believes his institution fortunate in securing Prof. Reber From our standpoint, the loss to State will be keenly felt Before he leaves, further mention will be made of the great work which he has ac complished here. New Men in the Engineering De partment. This year college with 36 new faces in the faculty of which num ber 15 are in the Engineering De partment. Two changes are made also in the work of the Department. The Geometrical and Mechanical Drawing of the freshman year are combined with Descriptive Geometry under the head of Engineering Drawing and are in charge of Prof. Victor V. Wilson. The Applied Mechanics from the Civil Engineer ing course and the Elementary Me chanics from the Mechanical course are combined with Materials of Con s tru c :ion and Testing Materials under the head of the Department of Mechanics and Materials of Con s ruction. This department is in charge of Prof. Chas. E. Paul. Professor Wilson attended the common schools of Philadelphia and the School of Industrial Art at Philadelphia, from which Miss Rediter also graduated. He took a course in art training for two years and was in business for himself for five years in New York City. He is also a graduate in Mechanical En gineering from Cornell, and was in structor in Drawing there from 1893 to 1903. From 1903 to 1904 he was on the instructing force of
