For catalogue, bulletins, announcements, etc., address THE REGISTRAR, State College, Pennsylvania Is it Worth While ? To make a crib for the examina tion is surrendering to a sneaking, cowardly or crooked thought of one’s self; when self confidence and steadiness are needed. It is a mental crutch which makes a moral cripple. If used it is dangerous. If not used it is damning. It is to class one’s self with the negligent and stupid instead of the true and self reliant. If discovered it brings immeasurable disappointment and suffering at home. It is a great evil at State College, and a personal victory over the inclination will De a victory for the college, and a pleasant recollection and inspiration after graduation. Purity, honesty, unselfishness, and love require that no aid be either given or received. Charles Dickens says, “There is nothing so strong and safe in the emergencies of life as the simple truth”. Eagles Mere. The summer conference ac Ea gles Mere in June will afford a ten days consideration of some life problems and will in addition fur nish a good vacation for college men after examination time- These conferences are nicely balanced and the whole afternoon is given to re creation. The Intercollegiate stunt day is one of the most unique things in American college life. For those who feel that they cannot meet-the expenses which are $lB.OO exclusive of car fare, there is op portunity for self help at the Con ference by waiting on tables, and assisting in the administration. There is a Conference Loan Fund from which any student is at liberty to loan money and which is to be paid back at the convenience of the borrower. Chairman L. P. Lindsay will furnish particulars. The students by observing a few of the following precautions would be of great assistance to the Land scape Gardening Department, which is trying to prepare the campus for Commencement Week : Don’t throw papers out of the dormitory windows. Don’t throw papers on the cam pus. Don’t throw tobacco cans or refuse of any kind on the campus. Don’t cut across the grass, keep on the walks. Don’t neglect the campus in any .way whatsoever, but do your share in maintaining the pride of Penn The Junior Prom. Trial programs and invitations can be secured from E. R. Stewart for the Junior Prom after today. Be cause of the fact that the drawing for booths will take place on the Armory floor Saturday evening at 7:30, all crowds .not having made application for booths should do so at once.

Re member that your representative should be at the Armory, Saturday evening, 7:30. Alumni Entertained, Mr. W. F. Strouse 'B7 entertained eight Penn State alumni and their wives and friends at his home in Baltimore, May 17. Why Not Investigate the merits of that great Western company, the Royal Union Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Des Moines, lowa ? Investigation will show, you that the security given to the policy-holders is unexcelled, and the attractive rate of in terest secured on the investments, made exclusively in the West, is a guarantee of good dividends. Investigate and make money. No trouble to show specimen policies, no importunity. College Boys, Attention! Young men often say to me, “What good will a life insurance policy do me if I die ?”. Bless your heart, tell me of anything that will do you any good if you die. But it will do others good. It will help to reimburse that mother or father, if you die, who scratched and saved to put you through college. And if you live and keep up tne pay ments to maturity, I can tell you of policies that will not only piotect those you love or to whom you may be indebted for funds to complete your course, but will pay you back personally at maturity all you put in or more. Do you know that after you have paid one full annual prem ium in my company, should you become totally and permanently dis abled and unable to earn money, your policy will become a jully paid policy for the face of it ? The latest wrinkle in life insurance. Let me tell you about this —also many other things that will surely interest you—and make you money. INew/ York Life Ins. Co. WE WONDER. If we are not badly in need of several more tennis courts. Whether all the seniors attend Sunday chapel exercises. If we ought not stand during the rendition of our national anthem at concerts as well as at other occasions. Whether the band is not highly appreciated at ball games by all of us. Whether track is a joke at Penn State this spring, as has been claimed in years past. Engineering Club Room Account for Year 1911-12. Balance on hand May 24, 1911, $4.07. Received June 9, C. E.
