dation' and the District Y. M. C. A.
held meetings at the college and they
will' be followed by others. A
large delegation from the State
Grangers convention recently spent
a day at the college. The Lutheran
denomination is building a commo
dious church building in the village,
while the Methodists and Presby
terians contemplate replacing their
present structures with larger and
more worthy edifices. The Episco
palians have purchased a lot on
which to erect a parish house, and
the Catholics, who have recently
had a priest appointed to this parish,
will no doubt soon erect a mission.
The New Athletic Field.
There is perhaps nothing being
watched with so much interest by
the students and alumni, as the new
athletic field, which is almost com
pleted. The fifteen thousand dol
lars which were appropriated by the
state is well nigh spent and soon we
shall have one of the greatest fields
in the country.
The track, according to the
best authority, will be the fastest in
the country. It is a quarter mile
oval with a two hundred and twenty
yafd straightaway. The bed con
sists of a four inch layer of heavy
stone, four inches of two-and-a-half
stone thoroughly rolled, two inches
of three-quarter inch stone, all cov
ered with six inches of engine sparks.
The last mentioned material was
kiridly donated by the Pennsylvania
Railroad and is the finest that can
beobtained.
It is expected that a permanent
swimming pool and bath house
will be ready for use by Com
mencement. This building will be
made of concrete and will contain
eighteen bathrooms and five show
ers. The ground for an athletic
cage may be broken about Com
mencement time.
The new field will consist of the
varsity field proper, in which base
ball, track, football and lacrosse will
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
Manager Postlethwaite
have special accommodations; and
eight acres at the other end which
will be devoted to the student body
as a play ground.
