M. C. A. Course. The second number of the Y. M C. A. course will be presented next Saturday evening by Montaville Flowers, when this remarkable en- tainer will give interpretations from Dickens. Mr. Flowers is widely known as a character impersonator and dramatic reader., Wherever he has given his impersonations he has 'met with most popular favor. In the career of every man who wins public recognition, there comes a time when general interest and value attaches to his , work. Montaville Flowers has reached that point. He is no longer an experi ment. He is one of the , finest pro ducts of the Lyceum, and destined to remain one of its prominent figures. The solid, worthy founda tions upon which his success is built is as broadly acknowledged as _that success itself, which is universal. Montaville Flowers is engaged in portraying the great drama' of hu man life, as embodied by the finest geniuses of the nice in novels and plays. It may be said nothing trivial enters into his work, and yet every line_ of it is of popular in terest. All who have heard .him exclaim that the man and the occur pation are an exact fit. You would, not call' his work a lecture, yet you , get all the criticism and elucidation of a lecture out of it; nor a reading, though you hear the exa`tt words of the ,author greatly- read, nor is it acting alone, though the characters live and move before you, while you forget the,man himself. But it is all these arts made into a new art, and IT,opyht to perfection. "I do lint want my audience to think of . me, cr see me, but to think of my story and see the characters in it," said Mr. Flowers. "Dickens had a mission when he Wrote this story, and I have the same mission when I read it, and that is true of all my recitals. Ido not want this to be an entertainment only, but an hour and a half with real life. As , Beecher said, 'The real benefactors of mankind are the men and women who can lift their fellow beings into the realm of their best selves, who make them fthget their corn and bank accounts, and bid them - feast at being's banquet.' The great lecturer does this, the great novelist 'does this, the great poet does this, and the great reader does this. The moments they bring to us mark the high tides in our mental and emo tional life, and give us impetus and courage to go on cheerfully with the humdrum of daily duties. I hope the audience will not expect too much, but I want them in the humor ,to receive and enjoy. It will not be what I shall do that will please them,but v,hat they will think and fed as toe story and the char acters suggest to them thoughts that breath and words that burn. We shall go through this stoi y together with old Scrooge, the skinflint, and liob Crotchet, the faittiful clerk, who scale: te call his soul his own, Fled, Scrooge's nephem, whose laughtci was so contagious; liny whose pathetic his toi y everyone will lone forever, and all the ghosts and all the men and women, good and bad, that make up this great masterpiece, And when it is over, if I succeed and my audience succeeds, we shall have turned a piece of literature into real life, and have lived in the realm of the ideal, and gained frbm it good to help, and love to do in the prosier moments of the life before us• We are sorry to say that the at tendance at the Dudley Buck con cert, the lust number of the course, was very poor and every fellow should make a point to get tickets right away for the remaining num bers. The price of a course ticket is certainly not too high and the course is the best that the Associa tion has ever arranged. Wake up, fellows, and spend these four even ings in some good, wholesome pleasure, You will never regret having done so. Then, too, the Young Men's Christian Association is worthy of your support. Do your duty by buying a ticket, Some Facts About the Freshmen The 484 freshmen were prepared for college in 276 different schools, 200 public high schools and 76 pri vate preparatory schools.

VW STITM COLLPOTAN STATE-PITT RETURNS Gamc Will be Reprodued by Plays in the Old Chapel The foot-ball returns committee has made arrangement foi a private wire between Pittsburg and State College to. get the returns of the game 'this afternoon. The electric score-board in the Old Chapel will accurately show the action of the play in detail and the plays will be announced as they are received over the wire. The Old Chapel has been secured on application to the president with the understanding that the privilege will not be abused by the students, and if we want the building for a similar purpose at some future time, it is necessary that we take proper care of it. In order to be informed of the sdenes on Forbes field just prior to the game, it will be essential to be in the Chapel not later than 2.3 e p. m. Students who secured a serial ticket for both the Penn and Pitt games will be admitted on'the Pitt Coupon others will be charged twenty cents admission fee. Come early if you are particularly anxious to sit down as the seating capacity of the build ing is limited and the attendance will undoubtedly be very large. Mr. Clifford's Lecture Was Very In structive and Interesting. The lecture on NeW Orleans de livered by Mr. Clifford, a professor in the Boys' High School of Phila delphia, in the Auditorium last Sat urday evening was indeed most in teresting and exceptionally instruct ive. Mr. Clifford has spent much time in studying the historical, geographical and commercial fea tures , of our southern metropolis, New Orleans. His slides gave one a clear idea of the magnitude of the, commerce carried on by this south ern city, and the improvements which have in comparatively recent years revolutionzed her trading facilities. The Auditorium was well filled and the large audience greatly enjoyed the lecture. On Saturday morning Mr Clifford addressed the Junior Foresters at the Forestry Building. During Mr. Pinchot's administration of the For est Service he ' called upon 'Mr. Clifford to aid him - in promoting the study of forestry 'in our public schools and Mr. Clifford has been associated with the Forest Service in this capacity for several years. He also spent several summers on the National Forests in the west and as a- result he says , that he can crushingly disprove the common belief that forestry is a cinch. His lecture contained good, sound, wholesome advice and all who had the privelege of hearing him could not help from being greatly impres sed by the truth and sincerity of his remarks. Civic Club An interesting meeting of the Civic Club took place in the Engi neering Building on Friday last the talk by Van Buskiik 'll on "Results of Recent Elections in the States" was quite interesting. The talk by Professor E. A. Cottrell on the "Keystone Patty Convention" was throughly enjoyed In a very amiable manner he told of the pro ceedings of the Keystone Party con vention at which he was an eye wit ness. A lively discussion among the members of the club on present day politics closed the meeting. Harry \V.

KLINE South Allen street Lettcr to the Collegian. Gentlemen What is the matter with the Asso ciated Press correspondent at State College that we cannot get the re sults of the 'football games in the western Sunday papers ? All the large colleges and 'quite a number of the small eastern colleges have their football scores in the western papers but State College is never mentioned unless it happens to play with a large college. There is some thing radically wrong at State or else someone is not very prompt about sending in the results of the games. Please see if the Collegian cannot' aggitate some remedy and by so doing have the college better adv et tisement. New Course to be Given in School' of Mines.
