It is with a deep feeling of regret that we call attention to the fact that some petty thieving has been going on about college, and for that mat- ter some thieving that can not be called petty. In the cases that have been reported the blame does not necessarily rest upon a member of the student body. Others besides the students are allowed in the gym nasium, and such unfortunate af fairs as have come to light in the last few days go to prove that such should not be the case. If a stu dent is responsible for the disap pearance of other fellows' money, he can surely count on being found out if he persists in his dishonesty. We wish to call attention to the concert to be given Monday evening by the New York Grand Concert THE STATE COLLEGIAN Company. Judging from all re ports the concert will be a real musical treat, and the cause for which it is to be given is one that should appeal to every student. We need new hymn books in chapel and we should all do our snare to wards getting them by attending the concert Monday night. Carnegie Publications. Our library is fortunate in being one of the limited number of the greater libraries of the world which receive gratuitously the publications of the Carnegie Institution of Wash ington. These works are very valu able studies along many different lines, and as the editions are limited to 1,000 copies or less, they are difficult to obtain. Nearly a hundred volumes have been published by the Institution, and these are on the shelves in the library. There is a volume on American Fossil Cycads by G. R. Wieland, State '93. Othei titles are "Research in China," "A Guide to the Archives at Washing ton," "A Respiration Calorimeter," "Report of the California Earth quake Commission," "The Old Yellow Book, The Source of Brown ing's Ring and Book," "The Hand book of Learned Societies in the United States," "Researches on the Performance of the Screw Prop eller," and "High Steam Pressures and Locomotive Service." The Press Club. Gentlemen The letter which appeared in a re cent issue suggesting a Press Club at State, is one well worth considering, and I sincerely hope that every undergraduate will feel it his duty to see that the papers throughout the country get the scores of our games. Our records are such that every State man can feel proud of the work done by the fellows for the Blue and White on the athletic field, and everyone should know of the success that State is having. 'I here is no berter way to advertise a college than to bring it continually before the public in the daily press. I live in the third largest city in Pennsylvania, and never, unless State plays a big team, do the pap ers have the score. There are doz ens of fellows that go to college from here each year, and I regret to say that very few go to State. Get together, fellows, and do not let Lafayette, Lehigh, and Dickinson get the march on you. Such a move will please the alumni, be a great advertisement for our college, and be a grand step in the right direction. Building Operations on the Move. A source of comment by the Pennsylvania Day visitors was the activity in real estate operations since the celebration of a year ago. During the last twelve months forty two houses have been erected, and from present indications the next year will witness a growth even greater. The Leathers Brothers have secured the Hamilton and Foster farms,and are disposing of the lots rapidly. Other plots have been laid out, and streets and walks are being constructed as rapidly as pos sible. With the present large num ber of students and high rents, there is probably not a better property investment in the state. A Reception. On Monday night the Brotherhood of St. Andrew assisted by the Epis copal ladies of the college gave a re ception to the Episcopal students at the house of Dr. and Mrs. Pond. The object of the occasion was to bring the students together and give them an opportunity to meet each other. Delicious refreshments were served by the ladies of the mission.
