B Hastings, 'OB, married Mi. s Ima Spicer at Wellsboro on Septem ber 9. They will reside in Philadel phia where Mr. Hastings has se cured a good position. Myron Creese, 'O5, was married on September 16 at Union City to Miss Jean Baker. Mr. Creese is Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Maryland Agricultural college. The current number of the Journal of Science has a review of several new books in electricity written by Geo. C. Shaad, 'OO who s now Assistant Professor of Elec• trical Engineering at the Massachu setts Institute of Technology. In the recent powder mill explo sion at Barksdale, Wis., F. T. Beers THE STATE COLLEGIAN '9B received serious cuts and bruises. He is recovering and will soon be able to be out. Two other State graduates are employed at the same factory, Wishart, '95 and Woodside, 'OB, but so far as has been learned, neither was hurt. H. A. Kuhn, '96 has recently in vented a machine ‘• hich is claimed will revolutionize the coal mining in dustry. The machine digs and loads coal at the rate of one ton a minute and is now used extensively in all the mines of the Pittsburg and Westmoreland Coal Company of which Mr. Kuhn is president. R. W. Krise, 'OB, writes from Gary, Indiana, where he is in the engineering department of the In diana Steel Co. It will be remem bered that this company is building the largest single steel plant in the world. The plant when completed will consist of sixteen blast furnaces, four open hearth furnaces each five hundred feet long, a five million dollar electric power station, and the other equipment necessary for a plant of that size. The Old Willow. The willow tree on the Main walk which is so thoroughly identified with State College and . which has appeared in many photographs and cuts, was planted by Mr. Waring, Superintendent of the Farmers' Hign School, about 1858. A lane led from the main wagon road, now College avenue, up into the grounds at the head of which was a gate and near the gate the willow was planted. On the other side of the tree was a stile over which one entered the en closure about Old Main. The ground about the tree was low and children skated on the ice formed on the water collected in the hollow in the winter. When the depression was filled.the grading made the tree appear as if it had two trunks since the earth was filled up above the first forks. It is to be hoped that the havoc wrought on the tree by the storm Monday will not cause it to decay, since State would not be State to the Alumni if the old wil low were missing. Steps will prob able be taken to preserve it as long as even a portion of it grows, as has been done for the old elm on Cam bridge Common, under which Wash ington took command of the Ameri can forces in 1775. In order to determine a question which has long been uncertain as to the control which the College authorities propose to exercise over the fraternity houses built upon the Campus, the Executive Committe at a meeting during the summer adopted the following resolution : That the College "Retains dis ciplinary power over individual stu dents and fraternity houses, whether located on or off the campus, in so far as may be necessary to protect the good name and the good order of the institution."
