Editor, State Collegian, Dear Sir —I wish to report three Alumni reunions of recent date,which demonstrate that the grand "Old State" spirit is just as rampart out in the cactus deserts of Arizona and New Mexico and among the moun tain peaks of Colorado, , as it is under the shadow of "Old Main„ itself. Having just returned from a months' trip through the southwest, I was indeed happy to meet Penn State men at Chicago, Trinidad, Albuquerque, Deming, Raton Pass, Clifton and Bisbee, At Trinidad, Colorado, on Jan. 7 an enthusiastic Penn State meeting was held by the following.—" Mike" Dodge 'o6„"Tommy" Thompson 'O7, "Pier" Caruthers 'OB, "Fats" Stout ex 'O6, "Joe" Mason 'O7, and Charlie Stout of Altoona. A week previously on New Year's day an equally joyous session was held at Clifton, Arizona, with a Chinese cook officiating at the banquet board. Those prenent were "Irish" Mcllveen 'O7, "Neff" Hirshman 'lO, Harry Leidich 'lO and Joe Mason ,07'—While other colleges were al so represented as follov s,-- Earle D. Mason, West Virginia 'O7; Dean K Mason, Pitt 'O5; D. M. Williams, Cornell '9B; 0. D Heck, Missouri School of Mines 'O2, S. Merift Yale 'ex 'lO, G. Hutchin, Georgia '08; E. V. Horton, Varideibilt 'O6, and others. At Deming, New Mexico, while sitting in the Harvey Hotel between trains, I was surprised to be greeted by a big cow punches from a nearby ranch, who proved to be Hayes ex 'OB, and another "State" reunion was the result. With heartiest wishes for a successful 1911 to our College and the , Collegian, I re main, Most Sincerely yours, Joe Mason 'O7, Min ing Engineei. Of Interest to Ag. Students. Dr, Borstell, head of the United States bureau of soils, will give an illustrated talk before the society on Monday evening next. After the regular meeting, State Master, W. T. Creasy, will deliver an ad dress, under the auspices of the c9unty - gtange, the agricultural stu dents and all others interested.

THE KATHERINE RIDGEWAY CO. The 'Last of the Y. M. C A. Course Entertainments Both Amtismg and Interesting The last of the season's entertain ments given in the, Y. M. C. A. icourse was presented on Satui clay evening, in the Auditoilum, by the Katheiine Ridgeway Concert com pany. The program for the even ing consisted of musical selections and recitations which were all heartily received by the audience and most enthusiastically applauded. Several of the recitations which made rionouncecl hits were "Read ing the Morning Newspapers", "Raising a Baby Scientifically" and selections in the native brogue of old Erin. Not only has Miss Ridge way mastered the art of deliver.ng comical and pave recitations well, but all of her gestures have been carefully studied out to, produce the proper effects. This was shown quite vividly in a recitation in which she set f , .rth the trials and tribula tions of a woman monopolizing a Pullman car dressing room. The program was pleasing in that it v‘as so varied, the recitations be ing interspersed with greatly ap preciated musical selections which were all exceptionally well rendered. It is with much regret that the students saw the last of the Y. M. C. A. entertainments leave Penn State, The entire course has been both en tertaining acid instructive and we, to whom good entertainments rarely come (Ruing the college year, unite in hoping that next year's series of entertainments will be as interesting and as well attended. -- - --- LIBRARY NOTES The admission of Penn State to membership in the In tercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletics gives added interest to the follow ling note. The Library has just received, ' through the courtesy of the Inter collegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America, a set of three books, depicting in text and photo graphs the last three annual track and field meets of the association The first boo'c has for its subjett the inteicollegiate championships of 1908 which were held on Franklin field of the University of Pennsyl vania, The second volume heats in the same way the 34th annual meet ing at Soldiers' field, Halyard uni versity, 1909, and the third volume deals with the 35th annual meeting at Philadelphia in 1910 These books are unusually well illustrated with photographs show ing all the events, most of them be ing action pictures. In each book the photographs ,are ac companied with a full textual and statistical description of the meet. In fact the 'books contain for each year a complete record of every performer, including all who were eliminated in the preliminary tiials The same detail is extended to the' first and second annual cross country runs which were held at ' Princeton. in November, 1908, and at Boston in 1909. ' Another feature of gicat value is the compilation of a serof statistics showing every point winner and his performance for every meet from 1876, the date of the association's organization, to the present These statistics were, secutecl after long search by the. edam and ale foun iv rio (Alm book Edwaid R Bushnell, of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, edited the books foi , the association. The committee on publication consists of Gustavus T Kdby, Columbia; 'Thornton Getlish, Harvard, and Roineyn Belly, Cornell. These volumes may be found in the case for special !coding, at the Library desk. Indoor Athletics The first of the series of indoor track contests, held under the di rection of the Athletic department, will take place on 'Thursday of this week. The work is entirely new here, but great Jesuits are expected in getting the men in shape for the spring hack season. Owing to the press of examinations, interest in the meets has not been as strong as it should be, and the number of en tries iS small. This should not pre vent large numbers from participat ing however, since entries will be received on the night of the con tests. Six medals have been offer ed as prizes, and these will be an added incentive to the sport. The events will take place on the follow ing dates. 1. Standing Broad Jump, Feb. 2. 2. 35 Yard Dash, Feb.. r. 3. Spi ing Broad JL.np for Height, Feb. 13. 4. 35 Yard Hurdles (low)-2 hurdles, Feb. 20. L 5.

Be,ides the indoor track contests, wrestling practice is also keeping the Armory busy. Manager Ne . - dig has been making excellent progress with his wrestling candi dates, and all who desire to try, shoald come out os soon as possi ble. There never weie so many candidates loran athletic team, and we need the' best matetial in the col lege to go through the heavy sched ule which is ahead of out wrestlers this year. The New Englanders Organize. Not booty but service is the spurt that seems to pi"evail at the Penn State College. Everybody in any way connected with the institution has put aside the idea of gain, and 'is working for the welfare of the col lege in general. The only way to accomplish results in a work of this kind is through the systematic and Organized efforts of numbeis. or some time past, neatly every mem bet of this great student body has been represented in some organiza tion, such as the various county, city and state clubs, through which he is enabled to act and to produce results However, there has been a little element of students here, who owing to then residence ate not eligible to any of the above men tioned clubs. These students have long felt the need of some form of organization to incicasc then effi ciency and to further the interests of Penn State in all of its activities. The result is the organization of the' Penn State Nev.' England Club, with every state in Iciew Itaiglancl repre sented in its membership ex cept Vermont and Rhode Island 1 tarry - \\( .
