State Vol. IV, No 6 Will You Be There? Are you going to Wiliamsport on Saturday to see the Dickinson game? This game has always been a main feature in State's football contests and there is no reason w,hy the us ual spirit should be lacking this year. We have been fortunate in winning from our old rival, Dickinson, for the last three years, chiefly because our teams have had the support of a host of loyal rooters. It would be a dreary prospect for our team to run out on the field on Saturday without the sound of "Alma Mater" echoing across the field from the throats of at least 500 followers of the White and Blue. Dickinson has been planning for this game for weeks because of the fact that to defeat Penn State would mean everlasting glory in Carlisle and a black spot on our already successful season. We urge every man who can pos sibly do so to attend this game, for the outcome will be a determining factor of the result of the Penn game next week. If 300 W. and J. students could travel all the way to Princeton to see their team defeated, surely 500 State men can go to Wil liamsport to witness a signal victory over Dickinson. Will you go? The Toothpick-Tumbler Game Candidates for positions on the Toothpick and Tumbler teams should hand their names to the managers of the respective teams, G. P. Searight, 'OB, of the Tumblers, and E. C.

The game will be played on November 16, the date on which the 'Varsity plays at Annapolis. STATE COLLEGE, PA., OCTOBER 31, 1907 Chemist Feed Last Thursday evening in the Nit tany Laboratory the junior and senior chemists, aided by several experienced scientists, performed some intricate experiments on the gastric analysis of the carbon com pounds. After the announcement that no "below grades" would be given out, that no one would have to "get ten of 'em," and that the ex tent of liquids or solvents per man was limited to five liters, the acetylene lights were turned on, and each man arose and recited Avoga dro's Law. Conditions of tem perature and pressure being normal, the proceedure was as follows: Consomme, filtered through bone Mustard Oils 5 7 Saccaharose Pickles Glycerol Palmitate (solid, odorless.)

Dean Reber, who goes to the University of Wisconsin as Director of EN tension, will enter upon his new work soon after the first of Novem ber. The University of Wisconsin has been a forerunner in the establish ment of extensio 1 study, both by lectures and by correspondence, but the work which Prof. Reber takes up will inaugurate important new de velopments, whereby the University will extend a helping hand to every citizen of the state. All departments, of study in the institution will be en, listed in the work of carrying their benefits to the people in their homes, thus affording the highest education possible at a minimum cost. In the past, extension work has been to a large degree limited to cultural or general studies ; the new work will offer technical instruction to men cf every class,grade, and pro fession. An important departure from old methods permits the student to ac cumulate credits toward a university degree, minimum residence of two years being required before gradua tion. For the assistance of the student who must continue to earn his living while he pursues his studies, the period of required resi dence may be selected during the summer months or ii► other intervals of short duration. Such a provision necessarily im plies the closest possible coordina tion between the work as it is pre sented at the University and the same studies taken away from it. For this reason, at present the men engaged in the extension teach ing will be drawn from members or
