THURSDAY, OC T. 1, 1908 EDITORIAL We wish that we might empha_ size more strongly the necessity of a strong delegation at the Wilkes- IL.'z..-rre game on Saturday. At the rate v.hich has been obtained from the aiiroad, the trip can be made at a very reasonable cost. If any mem ber of the team is asked as to the inspiration which comes from the singing cheers of a strong band of "rioters," the sentiment will be un- anicnous. Many a victory has been v,on by the support of the loyal State men along the side lines, and if the team can receive such support in this game the prospects are good for a victory in this, the first im portant contest of the season. In another column will be found the Calendar, a schedule of events for the next ten days. Societies, clubs, and all college organizations THE STATE COLLEGIAN are asked to help us in making this as complete as possible. This feature of the paper will be con tinued permanently throughout the Trustees Elected. In June six members of the Board of Trustees of the College were elected for the term of three years each : H. Walton Mitchell, Esq., of Pittsburg, James L. Hamill, Esq., of Columbus, Ohio, John Franklin Shields, Esq., of Philadel phia, constituting the Alumni mem bers; Colonel John A. Woodward, of Howard, Pa., was re-elected by the delegates of the county agricul tural societies; also the Hon. Charles M. Schwab, the donor of the Audi torium, who has from time to time aided the College financially in other ways. The Hon. Charles W. Stone, of Warren, Pa., who served the College many years as Trustee, declined a re-election and in his stead Mr. William H. Patterson, of Clearfield, Pa., was chosen. Mr. Patterson has long identified him self with the commercial and indus trial interests of the state, and is a prominent lawyer in Clearfield. He has a son in this institution, Ray mond Lynn Patterson, of the class of 1910. The Hon. Vance McCor mick of Harrisburg, a graduate of Yale, who is closely identified with the agricultural interests of the state, was also elected to membership in the Board. Free Delivery Probable It is not unlikely that State Col lege will have free delivery by Jan uary 1 of the coming year. The 'requirement for such delivery is that a town or city must have ten thous and inhabitants or that the annual post office receipts must be ten thousand dollars or more. In this case the latter requirement has been fulfilled, since the receipts of the local office are more than the amount named. Before the post office authotitiii will take up the - Matter, all, the streets must be named, the names must be posted at the street corners, and the buildings numbered. The borough authorities have taken these matters in hand, and most of th 4. houses have been numbered. The street names will he posted within a short time, and the poit office de partment will then be notified that everything is ready for, the installa tion of the new service. It is not likely that the free de livery can be begun before January, but it is hoped that it will be no later than that date. An Important Change. Some complaint has been made that under the present system one man can hold two or even more scholarships at the same time. This complaint led to the action taken recently by the executive council which makes it impossible, for a student to hold more than one scholarship. This action pies into effect September 1999,. and after that time a student holding one scholarship and winning another will have to choose between them which he wishes to hold. This applies to senatorial appointments also. If the holder of one of these accepts another scholarship, he must give up permanently his senatorial appoint ment. Y. M. C. A. Visitors.
