For fu Pennsylvania Day. Nearly' every college has a day set apart for_ some special celebra tion. In institutions which have been established through the gen erosity of one man, there is usually a "Founder's Day." The Pennsyl vania State College, established by the joint agencies of the national government and the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, has set aside a day in the early autumn to be known as "Pennsylvania Day." it has been celebrated for the past ten years, and has come to be an occasion of large note throughout the state. It has brought together some of the foremost people of the state and has brought out some masterful ad dresses. Last year the principal address was given by Governor Stuart upon the occasion of the dedication of the agricultural build ings. This year there is no building to dedicate, but the celebration of Pennsylvania Day, November 20th, is being arranged in a most attrac tive manner. It is especially de sired to have as large an inspection of the college and its work as pos sible by the people of the state and their representatives in the General Assembly, so that the work actually being Ohne here may become widely known, 4 ' To this end, the various county clubs will be asked to urge their representatives and senators to come to the college on Pennsylvania Day. In addition to the program of THE STATE COLLEGIAN tbk, THE FREE EDUCATION OF BOTH SEXES THE REGISTRAR, State Col set addresses in the auditorium, there will be a review of the college regi ment, and it is' hoped to have either the Governor of the state or the Adjutant General act as reviewing officer; also, it is possible that the freshman sophomore football game will be played on this day Every student is urged to contribute all within his power toward making November 20 one of the greatest days in the history of the institution.
