day, Jan. 19—Prominent in Hor
ticultural Affairs.
Gabriel Hiester, a member of the
Board of Trustees of this college
and one of the most prominent
scientists of agriculture, died at his
home at Estheiton, Friday, Jan. 19,
following a two months’ illness of
pneumonia, aged 62. —The deceased
was one of the foremost horticul

offices of public trust. He was a

~~lege, which office he-was holding-at
at the time of his death, his term
expiring next June.
Following his graduation from
the college in 1868 he engaged in
fruit growing and marketing. He
subsequently gave up marketing
and devoted his energies to fruit
growing, becoming one of the fore
most experts of the country.
Mr. Hiester had been a member
of the State Board of Agriculture
since 1881 and of the Agriculture
society for many years. He had
represented this state at several
agricultural conventions and had al
ways taken a prominent part in
matters pertaining to that line of
work.

Mrs. Anna Mauer Hiester; two
daughters, Mrs. Anna Dutton, of

STATE’S EASY VICTORY.
Penn State Runs up a Score of 41
to 28 Against Mont Alto.
On January 19 the Mont Alto
Academy basketball team lost to
our varsity in a one sided game by
the score of 41 to 27. Neither
Shore nor Hartz were in the game,
but all the other members of the
squad had a chance to play. Al
though Blythe was the only varsity
man in the line-up when the game
was started, it was but a short time
until the other men displayed their
varsity calibre. Park was easily
the best shot on the floor and caged
eleven baskets from the field. Wil
son played his characteristic game
at center, but was relieved by Craig.
Hay did well at foul shooting.
Mont Alto was especially weak in

DEPARTMENT NOTES.
Landscape Gardening—lt is inter
esting to note that out of 197 uni
versities, colleges and technical
schoo’s that have replied to circular
letters recently sent out to deter
mine the extent to which landscape
architecture is being taught, only
nine are offering a complete four
year course. Twenty-one have ele
mentary courses and four are con
templating courses. Penn State is
one of the nine offering a regular
four year course.
Four new subjects have been
added to the present course in
landscape gardening here at Penn
State: (1) Tree Surgery; (2) Mod
em Civic Art; (3) Composition and
Architectural Details; and (4)
Landscape Floriculture. These
new subjects together with in
creased amount of time to be de
voted to the course will make it
one of the strongest in the country.
Engineering The Industrial En
gineering department has received
as a personal gift from Mr. James
Mapes Dodge, President of the
Dodge Manufacturing company, and
tne Chain Link Belt Manufacturing
company, a silent chain diive for
transmitting power from the motor
in the machine shop direct to the
line shafting, thus doing away with
an intermediant counter-shaft. It is
anticipated that there will be a sav
ing in power as well as convenience.
Readings have been taken by the
students with the old arrangement,
and readings will be taken when the
chain drive is installed, so that a
comparison may be made.
