    A New Course Proposed.
Professor Diemer, in a paper read
before the Mechanical Engineering
society at its last meeting made a
suggestion as to the establishment of
what would constitute a new de
parture in education. He spoke of
the need of men qualified to solve
the problem of cheaper production
of commercial pi °ducts and pointed
out the lack of any suitable course
of study for the training of the
"production engineer." Neither the
accountant nor the engineer of the
present day has an education broad
enough to enable him to deal with
the problem in all its phases. What
is needed is a course of study which
shall combine both technical and
business branches and Prof. Diemer
has mapped out a tentative course
along these lines.
Senior Class Meeting.
At a largely attended meeting of
the senior class held last Thursday
evening, several matters of general
interest were discussed. The pro
posal of the committee in regard to
the establishment of a class fund net
with unfavorable consideration. The
class will undoubtedly establish a
fund, but it has not yet decided to
what extent and in what manner.
Tne committee in charge will make
a further report.
It was voted to hold a reunion in
1918 and a committee on permanent
organization was appointed. The
banquet will be held in Bellefonte on
Friday evening, March 20. The
valedictory honor was awarded to
W. F. H. Wentzel. This year there
will be no other commencement
speakers chosen from the class.
