THURSDAY, FEB. 8. 1912 The Right Among the customs ot of Way. Penn State which hate been upheld in the past, and which should still main tain a place in our college life, is one relating to the right cf way on the campus walks. As all of the older men in college know, and as all new men should know by this time, precedence is given by every man to the men of all classes above his own, and by seniors, as well as all underclassmen, to members of the faculty. In the past few weeks there has been a marked reluctance on the part of underclassmen, two- year men, and short course men, to live up to this rule; and numerous disputes have been caused by their refusal to yield the rijht of way. The question is doubly important at this time of year because of the deep snow at the sides of the walks. It is an inconvenience, of course,for men in any class to yield the walks and take to the snow. But when the men travel in groups from one building to another there is no oth er way, possible; and as all rulings in regard to college customs create distinctions in favor of upperclass men it is the duty of underclass men to afford passage room. First and second two year men are ranked as freshmen and sopho mores, and should act accordingly; while short course men should fol low the freshmen in order of pre cedence. A mere hint, to refresh our memories in regard to the cus tom, should be sufficient to stop further trouble on the walks. Hospital Benefit. On March 29 Mr. George C. Wil- liams will present to the people of State College one of his interpre tative recitals, “The Shepherd of the Hills.” Mr. Williams has had a wide experience in interpretative recitals, Shakespearian programs and Bible readings. The recital is under the auspices of the Hospital committee of the Woman’s Club, for the benefit of the hospital. The gymnasium work of the wo men students of the college will be in charge of Mr. Lewis during this semester, and will be carried on in the gymnasium in the Woman's Building. On account of the lack of room here, next year probably dur ing certain hours of certain days, the armory gymnasium will be turned over to the young ladies for their physical education. Letter From China. Tl*e following letter has been re ceived from Mr. F. E. Wilber, Hong kong, China, rrd will prove of interest to the students at this college on ac count of the relation existing between ihcm and the Y. M. C. A. work in that country: “I had t l c good fortune to visit the Canton Christian College last Satur day, and I want to write at once to bark up any efforts that State may oe making to further the support of that college. I surely hope that Groff is planning to return to that college, for then I suppose there will be no ques tion but that State will continue to help on in the work at Canton. But even should Groff transfer his energies elsewhere, you will do well to think twice before you transfer your gifts elsewhere. Or course, I am suppos ing that you will continue to give, as to me it seems as necccsaiy a pait of Stale’s work to give for foreign work as it does to e end deputations to Penn sylvania schools. Also I am suppos ing that you are not planning some other work to which you will accord youi support * The Carton Christian College im presses me as being one of ihe most promising institutions of learning in .he world I «ay that advisedly. They ha* e a local on that would be hard to beat, a splendid site overlooking inei, plains and distant hills: Can ton only a few miles away—one of the biggest c’trs of the world—and •.he unquestiored business metropolis of all China They will have little (rouble m fird!r7 students even when the government schools begin to offe‘ an adequate education, which will not be toi some years. “The Canton trustees have one of the broaden end lue ; t set of plans you can imacire, boih for building ard foi cuiriculum The money that they have .eccived H-- hc~! r pcnt rot on a large uurrbci of infeitor buildings to meet immediate needs (as is so frequently the case, even in good old Pennsyl vania) but on splendid concrete, mod ern halls, built to stand for a century, arc 1 equipped vwth caiofully chosen ard fmclv made equipment for teach ing of all Frds Their physical, me cl ar’eal ard chemical laboratories ar* small, but vciy well planned, and well cquipned foi elementary work. “And the staff of men that one find* at the college is an imoressive com mentary on the carefulness and wis dom of the busters. Picked men, wel* adapted for woik, well trained in our leading universities, and enthusi astic to a decree. “I suppo-e that Groff has told you of the possibilities of development in agriculture m south China. Not in intensive cultivation; hard to beat the Chinse at that: but in extensive work and more sanitary and cleanly meth ods If the college should acquire the land near the river that it hopes to get, it would make an ideal experiment station And wouldn’t it be a fine thing for State to be behind such a station? “My own place for work is uncer tain. At present I am in charge of the European Y. M. C. A. in Hong kong, awaiting the arrival of the per manent secretary in March. After that time I will proceed somewhere for further study of the language, tho I can nothing more definite than some where. Those victories on the grid iron caused a large celebration in one room in Hongkong; so glad the fel lows got to Penn at last. “Regards to the men. Believe me, sincerely your friend and States. “F. E. Wilber.” Commencement Speaker. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, of Brooklyn, has accepted the invita tion to delivtr the Commencement address here on June 12. Dr. Hillis is one of the greatest orators in the country, and the college is very fortunate in securing him as a speaker. The School of Engineering, in co operation with the State Highway Department, intends to perform a series of experiments testing the strain caused by heavy passing over earthcovered culvert* 1 , and determining what material should be used in constructing such culverts.

H. E. Shore 'l3 ) J. L. McCreary 'l2 \ STUDENT AGENTS L. A. Davis 'l2 ) FOOTBALL SCHEDULE APPROVED W. and J., Carnegie Tech and Ohio State Added to Schedule At a meeting of the Penn State Athletic Committee held on January 30, the 1912 football card as pre paied by Manager Kerr was approved. It will be seen that Colgate, Geneva, S, Bonaventure, Navy, and Villa nova have been dropped from the schedule and the following additions made: Washington and Jefferson, Carnegie Tech, and Ohio State University. A pleasing feature of the schedule is the renewing of athletic relations with Washington and Jefferson Col lege, and the game with the Red and Black team will undoubtedly be the best and most interesting of the home encourters. Penn State has met the Washing ton eleven twice during the past ten years and was victorious in both games. Ohio State and Penn State will meet for the first time in the histories these two state institutions and the game bids fair to attract a great deal of attention in the East and Middle West. A home game will be arranged for November 9, but at present noth ing definite can be said as to who will be Stale’s opponent on this date. Princeton' refused to offer State a date, while games could not be satis far tcrily arranged with DarthmoutS and Brown: Thr scnedule follows: October 5, Penn State vs. Cranegie Tech, at State College. Penn State vs. W. & J , at State College. October 19, Penn State vs. Cor nell, at Ithaca, N. Y. October 26, Penn State vs. Gettys brre, at Stale College. November 2, Pern State vs. Penn, e.

WE WONDER If we are not looking forward with great interest to the wrestling meets. If it is not the duty of each and every one of us to buy season tick ets for the interclass basbetball games. If, too, directories of the students in Old Main and in McAllister Hall would not be highly appreciated. If every member of the faculty and every student should not make an effort to attend the orches tra concert on Saturday night. Why we cannot always sing our Alma Mater with the same spirit as we sang it on Friday night at the game. If, however, we should not try to get more life into our cheering so that we shall be prepared for com ing events. If we were not extremely for tunate in having such workers as Elliott, Wright, Mercer and Mr. and Mrs. Huston to introduce the Men and Religion Forward Movement at Penn State. How many of us have taken ad vantage of the many excellent op portunities offered by this move ment. If voluntary contributions at Sun day chapel exercises will not bring good results. If some of us showed perfectly good spirit toward our wrestlers at the trials op Saturday afternoon. Tho Student's Laundry We carry a full lino of Students’ Supplies Bellefonte Central Railroad F. H.
