EDITORIAL.
With the Bucknell game only
abOut three weeks off, it is not too
early to make plans for entertaining
the students who will undoubtedly
accompany the visiting team on
their trip here. One thing is certain:
our visitors should not be charged
seventy-five cents for transportation
from Lemont. Why can not arrange
ments be made to bring them up
from the Pennsylvania station for
nothing? Any courtesy which we
can show them will be appreciated,
ana will help to promote better feel
ing between the two institutions.
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
The Collegian is glad at any time
to publish news concerning the woi k
of the various county clubs We
believe that a great deal can be ac•
complished throughout the state by
the clubs in the work of promoting
the interests of the College. Jusc
now the clubs are ti ying to induce
as many men as possible to go home
for the election During the holiday
season many dinners will be held
throughout the state and men will
doubtless be influenced to come
here next year. Aside from the
good which may come in such ways
as we have suggested, there is a
pleasure in coming together occa
sionally with the men from our
home county.
At the last meeting of the Col
legian board, Dale R. Mason 'll,
and C. F. Preston, 'll, were elected
to the editorial and the business
staff, respectively, of the paper.
The former has had charge of the
athletic department of the paper for
several issues, and the latter has
assisted the business staff for about
the same length of time. Both are
therefore familiar with the work.
We are glad to place their names
upon the list of editors, and feel
that the paper is strengthened by
their election.
We notice in looking over the
papers from other colleges, many
songs and yells that are written to
be used at football games. State
used to have new songs every year.
Why can we not have them this
year? The Collegian is anxious to
help in bringing out new songs, and
if anyone can write a song for the
Bucknell game which is worth bring-
ing to the attention of the student
b pdy, we shall be glad to publish it
Great Activity in Real Estate.
The growth of the College, espea.:
ially dui ing the past year, has
caused great activity in real estate
transactions, and prOperty valued
have increased rapidly within the
last few months. Among recent
large deals has been the purchase of
the Andrews farm, adjoining State
College, by Prof. 1. L. Foster and
J. Laird Holmes. The land will * be
laid out in building. lots. The
Hamilton farm, which lies just out:-
siae. of town has also been plotted
and lots are being sold. The Fosfell
farms southeast of town are beiri
sold off rapidly.
Action has been begun to include
several of these additions in the
borough, and it will probably not be
long before Greater State College
will be a reality.
Resolutions.
Whereas Almighty God, in his
infinite wisdom, has seen fit to call
to Himselt the soul of the father of
our friend and classmate, William
Fuhs, be it therefore
Resolvcd, that we extend our
heartfelt sympathy to his family in
their bereavement; and be it further
Resolved, that a copy of these
resolutions be published in the State
Collegian.
