A Change In accordance with
In Name the usage which has
developed rapidly
within the past two years, we have
decided upon a change in name—to
the "Penn State Collegian." "Penn
State" is but little longer than
"State," and is so much more
definite and expressive that we ad-
vocate its use in all cases where
the official title of the college is too
long and dignified. The arguments
in the question were discussed last
year, and student sentiment seems
to indicate that our familiar title for
the college be from now on, "Penn
New As a definite sign of the
Mon gftrwth in stuo6nt pOpulation,
Cite registration of new men
is always awaited with interest a
the beginning of a college year.
The enrollment noted at the present
time-608, of whom 497 are fresh
men—shows that the steady growth
which has been made at Penn State
in recent years hai been maintained,
and even surpassed this fall. The
goal of 2000 seems fairly within our
grasp during the semester. It is
hoped that the new men will feel
that they are now a vital part of the
college organism, and that they
will fulfill their duty 'by getting the
strong start which means a com
pleted course. Let 1915 be able at
the end of their first year, to add to
the honor of "largest class in col
lege," that of having the greatest
percentage of men stick to the race.
Here's to a strong start, 1915, and
"no flunk outs !"
Business In order to complete the
Managers staff, it will be necessary
to add two men to the
business department of the paper
this fall. Applicants for the po
sition are desired from the present
junior class, and all who send their
names to the business manager will
have an opportunity to compete for
the position
'Football A healthy sign of the
Practice interest which the men of
Penn State take in their
teams is the large attendance at
practice on Old Beaver field. But,
in our presence there, let us not be
come over-zealous and crowd upon
the field. It has always been the
custom to stand no nearer than the
old cinder track, and if each man
will take it upon himself to stay °lf
the immediate playing field, the
work of the teams will be much
easier. Do not make the ccachc.s
lose valuable time by having to
leave the men in order to keep the
field clear. Let us give the teams
all the room they need, and the full
benefit of complete early practice
will be felt later in the season.
Loss of Books During the past
Diminishing year it has been
noted that the loss
of books from the library was less
than for any-year in the immediate
past. On previous occasions a
great mauy of the most popular and
needed reference books and novels
were withdrawn : from the library
and were never returned, mainly
through neglect of the borrowers.
The small number of books lost in
this manner in the past year shows
that the students are beginning to
realize that the loss effects them
more than it does the college, and
they are making every effort to re
turn borrowed books, thus keeping
them in constant circulation. Per
haps the abolition of the one dollar
re-examination fee will still further
reduce the loss. No circulating
library can be a benefit to all the
people unless its books are avail
able to every one. The practice of
returning books to the library as
soon as they are read or When they
are due should be continued and it
should be borne in mind that others
are awaiting their return to the
shelves,
Notes From the Forestry School
Dr. Baker left on the 22nd for
ua.,c•ac r;11, tr. .341-.1 , 4 41-..
National Conservation Congress as
a delegate from Pennsylvania, under
Governor Tener's appointment.
The conference marks a very im
portant step in the fight for the
conservation of national resources.
President Taft gill, in his speech,
outline the national policy in re
gard to this work. While on the
trip Dr. Baker will visit the forest
schools at the University of Minn
esota and the Michigan State Col
lege, and the government Timber
Testing plant at Madison, Wis
consin.
On the 14th and 15th of Sept
embrr, Prof. Clark, upon the invita
tion of the George B. Mauser Mill
company of Treichlers, Pennsyl
vania, visited a cut over tract upon
which reforestation operations are
to be carried on. The tract is near
both Reading and Scranton, and
Mr. Mauser wishes to make a
demonstration planting to show
what can be done by planting up
non-agricultural land to trees. Prof.
Clark will draw up a thorough plan
which will be carried out in the
production of a forest cover.
To take up Professor Ferguson's
work in Mensuration, the depart
ment has secured Mr. R. R. Chaffee,
a graduate of Clark University and
the Harvard Forest School, who
has had considerable exp rience in
the forests of New England and
during the past year and a half has
been a Forest Assistant in Oregon.
His field training has been unusually
strong and should enable him to
carry on the work in Mensuration in
excellent shape.
To meet the demands of the larg
er classes, which are just coming in
as Juniors and Seniors, a new in
structor, Mr. J. B. Berry, who was
graduated two years ago from the
Forest School of the University of
Minnesota has been secured. While
a student, Mr. Berry assisted Pro-

fessor Green in teaching, and for
over a year has been a Forest
Assistant in California. Mr. Berry
will take charge of the course in
Dendrology, assist in the courses in
Silviculture. and give a portion of
his time to the extension of certain
lines of experimental work. With
a teaching staff , of two Yale men,
and the men from Harvaid and
Minnesota, the department will be
stronger in every phase of the work
than it has ever been before.
The Y. M. C. A. Entertainment
Course.
Following its usual custom, the
Young men's Christian Association
of this college will give a series of
entertainments during the winter
months. A number of high class
artists have been secured, and the
performances promise to be as good,
if not better than those enjoyed so*
much in former years.
Beginning in November, the fol
lowing entertainments will be given,
although as vet no definite order

These various companies come to
us with a widespread reputation,
and it would therefore be useless
to dwell upon their excellence.
Every student, especially the fresh
man, should avail himself of the
opportunil y of seeing these excel
ling performances at such a nominal
cost. The cost of a reserved seat
for the entire series is $1.25, for
general admission $l.OO. Tickets
for single performances are also
obtainable.
Conference for Superintendents and
Principals.
The Round Table Conference
of Superintendents and Principals
of central Pennsylvania will hold its
next meeting at the College on Fri
day and Saturday, October 20th
and 21st. This conference meets
semiannually. It has in it some of
the most progressive school men in
the state. Several of its most
active members have held the office
of president of the state teachers
association.
All of its discussions are infor
mal. Great interest is usually mani
fested in these conferences. The
-question under discussion at the
October meeting deals with "Ir
dustrial Training in Public Schools".
All of the sessions are open. Num
bers of the faculty are especially in
vited to attend and to take part in
the discussions.
Superintendent H. H. Baish, of
Altoona, is president of the Con
ference. Dean Weber is chairman
