It was noticed by
Advertisement one of our New
York alumni that
in a prominent play now being pre
sented in his city, in which one
scene is profusely decorated with
college flags and pennants, the Blue
and White of Penn State was not to
be seen. Acting upon his sugges
tion, steps have been taken by some
o! the men in college to present the
management with a pennant, with
the request that it be used in the
play. The act seems to us to be a
piece of legitimate advertising which
should help to make the name of the
college better known throughout
the country. By its unobtrusive
presence, the pennant will serve to
keep our name in a place with the
other big eastern institutions, and
will prhaps also gladden the eyes
of any of our alumni who may
chance to see it. If more work
could be carried on toward the
purpose of publicity, the alumni
might soon find more Penn State
news in the papers. When the edi
tors appreciate the fact that our,col-
lege is not of minor importance, and
that there are men who demand
news of her. they will give us the
space in their publications that we
de,erve.
The Old A pleasing step toward
Willow the preservation of col-
lege history and custom
is the action taken by the men of
the Landscape Gardening course in
prolonging the life of the Old Wil
low. The tree has stood as the
guardian of the campus since the
earliest days of our history, and oc-
cupies a prominent place in the
memory of every man who has
been connected with Old Penn
State. The present commendable
effort toward keeping it intact in its
old place, therefore, receives the
praise and appreciation not only of
the undergraduate body, but also of
every one of Penn State's loyal
Local Civil Engineering Project.
Last year a good deal of trouble
was experienced because of faults
in the sewage system of the college.
To remedy the overf!owing of the
long used sink hole, an extension of
the system has been constructed,
leading to another cess pool.
The advisability of erecting a
permanent disposal plant has also
been discussed, and a number of
preliminary surveys have been
made.
Freshman Receptions
There was once a stu lent, who in
graduating -said that he had never
had the pleasure of having been in
vited into a home in this college.
This was an occurence which the
ladies said should not happen again
and in consequence, in the past
year, the entire Freshman class was
invited, in groups of from ten to
twelve, to the houses of the faculty
and other people of the town. The
object of these receptions was to
get acquainted with the new men, to
promote their getting to know each
other, and essentially to give them
a little home life.
The splendid undertaking, which
was advanced with such enthusiasm
last year, will be repeatea this year.
The Committee of Ladies requests
the Freshmen to group themselves
in parties of from ten to twelve
rren, and to put their names, to
gether with their addresses, in the
La Vie box near the Engineering
Building. A few men in each section
are earnestly requested to start one
of these lists and to see that it is
filled out and deposited in the box.
The ladies hope to have invited
every Freshman by Christmas.
Every new man should take advant
age of this exceptional opportunity.
He is doubly assured that he is wel
come, and that his visit will be
appreciated.
New Equipment for Highway Dept
The machines for use in the new
course in Highway Engineering
have now been received by the Col
lege and in the list are included the
following: The Page Impact Ma
chine, for testing the toughness of
rock; a Ball mill for grinding rock
samples the grinding action
of the steel shot reducing the lock
samples to a stiff dough in which
condition it is ready to be molded
into briquettes; a Briquette machine
for molding the rock dust speci
mens; the Page Impact machine for
testing the cementing value of
rocks, the number of blows neces
sary to destroy the resilience of the
briquette is taken to be the cement
ing value of the material, a Deval
Type Abrasion machine, in which
the rock to be tested is placed and
revolved ten thousand times, when
tle percentage of material vt orn off
is determined; a Diamond Core drill
for preparing rock cores to be used
in the Hardness machine Worry
t /pe) which grinds the cylindrical
rock core so that the coefficient of
hardness may be calculated, a Dia
mond saw for cutting rock sections;
and a Grinding lap, used for pre
parink rock sections for micro

We might say a great deal about the quality of, our work, but to see the work itself—the beautif,jl, clean, savory
white appearance of the linen—will do more towards winning your patronage than all we could say in a day's
time. We turn collars by hand—no cracked corners. We sew on buttons. We mend your sucks.

The Cosmopolitan Club
If any one doubt the accessibility
of State College let him visit the
Cosmopolitan club. He will not
only he convinced that our College
is accessible from all parts of the
globe but he will learn that its repu
tation is world wide. At the first
"Conference of the Nations" or the
regular meeting of the Cosmopoli
tan Club on Monday night, men
from all climes, of all colors, of
different creeds and beliefs were
recommended for membership.
Men from China, Turkey, Persia,
Russia, Austria, Norway, Sweden,
Switzerland, England, Cuba, Porto
Rico, and Argentine Republic come
to us to learn and as a matter of
fair exchange can teach us some
things of their own countries. Our
ideas of foreign people are often
misleading and only on first hand
I information such as we can get by
contact with these men, can our
i thought bg set aright.
I The national organization which
has chapters in all the leading col-
I leges of this country, is affiliated
with the Corda Fratres the organiza
tion of European Universities.
This makes the Cosmoplitan move
meat of international scope, all
working with the same end in mind,
that is for the common understand
ing of the human brothe•hood of
I men.
The feast of the nations which is
expected to come off Friday,even
ing in the Engineering Club room
promises to be one grand opening
for work during the ensuing year.
Meetings will be held at regular
intervals, and one or more phases of
a foreign people will be discussed.
