by the class or 1915 regarding hazing:
1. To abolish all indiscriminate
hazing for the school year of
1912-13.
2. To inaugurate the custom that
the freshman class, in May of its
freshman year, elect seven men as a
committee to try any man of the
next freshman class who violates
the college customs and to see that
justice be meted out to him.
3. That this committee be elect
ed by popular vote of the class.

the class. Each member of the
class voting for one man and the
required number of men having the
highest number of votes shall be

to be observed as “poster night.”

abolish indiscriminate hazing and
give a square deal to every man.
The committee urges and solicits
the cooperation of every loyal Penn
State man in mikllig ..32132 "Vit.
what it should be and in giving to

McAllister Hall to be Used for Class
Rooms.
The building known as McAllister
Hall was erected by means of bor
rowed money to supply board and
lodgings to students at a time when
there were few houses in the village.
With the increase of accommoda
tions off the campus, patronage of
the Hall has decreased until the in
come from the dining room no long
er meets the expense of maintenance
including interest on the borrowed
money. For this reason, the room
has been cut up into class rooms
which were badly needed and
which will bring an income from
the incidental fees. Unfortunately
the college now has no large room
for social functions and in which to
entertain large number of guests.
Perhaps the erection of a student
club house is bought one step
nearer.

Captain Hall’s Report to the War
Department.
Captain Harrison Hall, who in
spected the battalion in May last,
reported to the War Department at
Washington that the Military De
partment of this college receives
the proper support and that the
college authorities attach consider
able importance to the instruction.
The military spirit, while not pre
dominant, was developed to a con
siderable extent. At inspection,
the general appearance of the
cadets was good although “a num
ber were unshaven and some blous
es were shabby a T 'd torr.”
The inspector tho'ught ‘■he field
service instruction thorough, but
small arms firing insufficient and
confined to gallery practice. He
would not recommend instruction in
artillery practice. The officers
were well qualified and were “ne.>t,
intelligent, and well mannered.”
The general report concludes:
“The Military Department is
organized into a regiment of twelve
companies with the necessary field
staff and band.
There are 860 cadets under in
struction; all were over fifteen years
of age, and 853 were present at in
spection.
The exercises witnessed consisted
of: Regimental review and inspec
tion, battalion drills, company
drills (close and extended order),
outpost and advance guard forma
tions, attack on position.
Drills and ceremonies were well
executed. Principles involved in
Cleaning and Pressing
advance guard and outpost for
mations were well understood by
cadet officers. Average cadets
were not so well informed.
Instruction of officers has includ
ed laying out of outposts on maps,
study of the Battle of Gettysburg,
and simple war game problems.
Rifles and equipment were in ex
cellent conditon, but not cared foi
by cadets nor do cadets use same
equipments at successive drills.
Provision should be made at this
institution for a large Armory fer
range practice and for an annual enjj
campment".
Bequest to Y. M. C. A,
The will of the late" Norman G.
Miller, of Marion, Pa., class of 1904,
contains the following item:
“To The Young Men’s Christian
Association, of the Pennsylvania
State College, Centre County, Penn
sylvania, I bequeath the sum of
eight thousand dollars, to be invest
ed, and the income therefrom to be
usPd to further the work of the
organization.”
Mr. Miller was president of the
association at the time the first
general secretary was hired and was
active in bringing it about and
financing the undertaking. He was
one of its most effective and devot
ed presidents, and has always con
tributed to the annual expenses of
the association and taken a lively
interest in its work.
It is understood from the execut
or that the money will be available
by July, 1913, and steps have al
ready been taken by tne advisory
committee to have papers of in
corporation made out and trustees
appointed.
