By next year we will have gradu ates in forestry and in electro• chemi cal engineering.

We have 1096 students of whom 4 are postgraduates, 120 are seniors, 160 are juniors, 227 are sophomores, 388 are freshmen, 77 are sub-fresh men, 44 are specials and 71 are short course men Dr. Sparks on Athletics. Dr. Sparks was in Washington a few days ago, looking after the in terests of the college in several re spects, and, while there, was inter viewed by a reporter of the Washing ton Post. The following interesting inter view gives some idea of Dr. Sparks' views on athletics. We publish it for the information, and doubtless the enjoyment, of our readers. "From a cub reporter on an Ohio paper to the presidency of a college is the remarkable rise of Dr. Edwin Erie Sparks, who last November was elected to head the State Col lege of Pennsylvania. Dr. Sparks is now professor of American History in the University of Chicago. He worked his way through the Ohio state University while serving as a reporter on the Ohio State Journal, of Columbus, and after graduating from that institution became an in structor there. Then he went to the State College, where he was profes sor of history for five years. "Shortly after I had been chosen for the presidency of State College, one of the young men at the Uni versity of Chicago came to me to congratulate me," said Dr. Sparks last night. "`.l understand,' he said, 'that you are going to leave us to take the presidency of State College.' I told him I was, and then he asked me where State College was, and in telling him I spoke of 'Penn State.' `Oh,' he exclaimed, 'you are going to "Penn State." That's the col lege that licked Cornell last fall. "That shows in a way the spirit of the age," continued Dr. Sparks, "and college presidents and pro fessors recognize it. The time has passed when the student at college spends all his time burning the mid night oil and wears out his health. Athletics are a necessary and im portant part of every well governed American college, and in their way they inculcate that distinctive Ameri can spirit to win which exists not only with relation to sports, but to studies also. The officers of col leges nowadays do not frown upon athletics as some used to, because they appreciate their importance in helping the students in their studies. The desideratum in college life is to make every student enjoy his work, as well as his play, and by giving him an opportunity to excel in ath letics I believe be is better able to enjoy his studies and to excel in them also." The Minstrel Show. A number of entries for places as end men have already been been re ceived, and all those who wish to try for a place are urged to hand in their names as soon as possible to Chair man Mcllveen, or to G. E. Miller or Waha. Due notice will be given as to when the entries close. Two fra ternity chapters have signified their intention of entering specialties in the competition, and other groups of men are gently remined that stung are they who get busy too late.
