THE STATE COLLEGIAN
I have noted with interest the dis
cussion in the Collegian with regard
to summer baseball, and it seems to
me that this college should take an
active interest in stamping out any
trace of professionalism in our
athletics. We have been conduct
ing our athletics in as clean a man
ner as most colleges, if not more so.
and we should endeavor now, since
we have such a large student body,
to remove any trace of professional
ism by voting against any summer
baseball which offers money to our
players.
It may be urged that we have no
right to deprive a baseball man of a
means of getting a college education
simply because he plays on his col
lege team and must not play for
money on any team during the sum
mer. To play professional ball,
however, must lay his college open
to suspicion, and since no taint of
professionalism is allowed in other
branches of athletics such as foot
ball and track, there is no reason
why baseball should be made an ex
ception.

Victor's Venetian Band.
The fifth and last entertainment
of the Association course will be
given on Friday evening March 6,
at 8 o'clock in the Auditorium. It
will consist of a band concert by
Victor's Venetian Band. That this
band deserves the high reputation
that it possesses is evinced by the
very large number of important en
gagements that it has filled, such as
a summer in the White City Park,
at Cleveland, one in Olympic Park,
at Newark, N. J., and a complete
circuit with Hammerstein. They
play both classic and popular music,
and the concert will prove a treat to
all music lovers of whatever taste.
Our Auditorium is an ideal building
for a band concert and it is safe to
predict that the concert on Friday
evening will be the one of the most
popular entertainments that ever
came to State College.
The Mark Hopkins Lecture.
A pleasing and instructive lecture
on "Mark Hopkins, Man and Edu
cator" was heard by a fair sized au
dience in the Auditorium on Satur
day evening. The subject was
treated by Hon. Charles W. Store
as it only could be by one clos6br
associated with Dr. Hopkins. ' •
