The Y. M. C. A. Reception.
Following its usual custom, the
Y. M. C. A. of this college tendered
a reception to the incoming fresh
men last Friday evening. As the
class of 1916 had assumed such a
magnitude, and as the number of
the guests promised to be so
large, the grounds before the
Ladies’ Cottage were prepared to
serve as a natural reception parlor.
The illumination was accomplished
by chains of electric lights and
Japanese lanterns which were sus
pended between trees. Guests were
received by President and Mrs.
Sparks, Mr. Buchman, and Mr. R.
E. Atkinson.
New acquaintanceship was pro
gressing rapidly when the Penn
State musical organizations added
even more harmony to the gather
ing. The Glee Club, under the
direction of Mr. Clarence Robinson,
very admirably sang: —The Sword
of Ferrara, Bullard; Outcasts, Rob
inson; The Alma Mater, arranged by
Mr. C. Robinson.
The Band entertained its hearers
nth: —The American Medly, and A
■pring Maid Pot-pourri.
In reference to refreshments the
V. M. C. A. committee has institut
ed a novel way of serving them.
Those in charge were situated on
the porch of the cottage from
where they very deftly filled cones
-rfloq, mr} HiUrl K tJ ted
them to the waiting pnpu'ace be
low.
The entire reception may be
characterized as having been a
pleasant success, a congenial at
mosphere having prevailed through
out. New acquaintances were
made, and old ones repaired.
New National Fraternities,
On Friday Oct. 11th, 1912, the
Theta Psi Fraternity will be duly
installed as the Lambda Chapter
of the national fraternity of Phi
Kappa Psi. The national organi
zation will be represented by its
President, of Los Angeles, Cal.,
who will act as installing officer,
assisted by the Executive Council
and Professor J. H. Frizzell, of the
English Department of Pennsyl
vania State College.
The Alpha Kappa Delta Frater
nity has also been granted a chapter
by the national fraternity of Delta
Tau Delta which will be installed in
he near future.
Our Office Hours,
The Penn State Collegian will be
distributed to all new men or men
who did not secure a copy by mail
at C. W. Smith’s store,Allen Street,
Thursday and Friday evenings from
six until eight o’clock. No charge
is made for the first copy. As you
will want to subscribe, for your con
venience subscriptions may be paid
on either of these evenings at the
above mentioned place. Get the
first issue and keep up with your

Dr. Stecker Attends Important
Meetings.
Dr. Stecker spent the summer
vacation in Paris attending Mathe
matical lectures. The latter part
of August, he went to Cambridge,
England, to take part in the sessions
of the International Congress of
Mathematicians, which is held every
four years. Membership in this
congress isa rare honor.
The McCleary Fund,
As is generally known, “Bull”
McCleary, who had been expected
to return to the college to assist
Coach Hollenback, has accepted
the position of Director of Athletics
at the Missouri School of Mines,
Rolla, Mo. Dick Harlow, T 2, and
tackle on the 1909, TO and ’ll
teams has been chosen as Mc-
Cleary’s successor.
In the matter of compensation
for McCleary the Athletic Associa
tion was able to offer only $300.00.
To meet the salary of $lOOO.OO ask
ed by McCleary for his services,
the student Dody voted to raise a
fund of $700.00. While the col
lection of the fund was in progress
last spring, the news was received
that “Bull” had accepted a good
proposition at Missouri and con
sequently the collection of the fund
ceased with a total amount collect
ed of $465.55.
When the possibility of Harlow’s
filling McCleary’s place became
known many contributors to the
McCleary fund offered to transfer
their contributions to Harlow.
While it is assumed that all contrij
butors are willing to do the same
thing it is desirable that definite
knowledge of this be secured at
once.
The Athletic Association will pay
Harlow from it’s own funds the
$300.00 offered to McCleary. With
the McCleary fund it would make
Harlow’s compensation total-$765.-
55, which figure is over $250.00 less
than an offer received by Harlow to
serve as Director of Athletics in a
western school but which was re
jected that he might return to be of
service to his Alma Mater.
The fund is now held in trust by
the Graduate Manager. After Oct.
it will be assumed that all contribu
tors not heard from to the contrary
by that date desire their con
tributions diverted to Harlow and
the balance the fund will be credited
to Harlow’s coaching account.

The following is presented as an
amendment to the constitution of
of the Athletic Association.

BY THE WAY
The Student Board of Columbia
University recommended that the
class of 1914 as a whole be deprived
of all its social functions during its
Junior year. The Sophomore class
after a recent festivity had formed a
parade and entered the halls of the
Barnard Dormitories. It was at
first thought advisable to expel] the
whole class, but finally it was
deemed best to impose a penalty.
At the University of Illinois not
one of the twenty students who had
the lowest averages in their studies
was connected with any student
activity.
At the University of Nebrask out
of thirty-eight Seniors elected to
Phi Beta Kappa, thirty-one were
women.
The Junior Class of Lafayette
College recently took a stand
against the system of treating. This
custom has been abolished at sev
eral prominent institutions, among
which are Cornell, Michigan, and
Princeton.
The committee in charge of the
“Prom” at Williams College has
placed the ban on the “Turkey
Trot”, “Grizzly Bear”, “Bunny
Hug”, and other wild cat dances.
A partial canvass of the Cornell
undergraduates indicates that 65
pei cent of the student body are in
favor of “dry” banquets and smok
ers for college activities.
Columbia is planning a system
by which a scholarship standard is
necessary for entrance into frater
nities.
Wireless communication is about
to be established between Michigan,
Michigan State, and Ohio State.
At Dartmouth students whose
grades are above 95 may “cut”
classes as often as they wish with
out any penalty.
Season Athletic Privileges.
The constitution of the Athletic
Association provides classes of
membership in addition to the stud
ent membership for the benefit of
the Alumni and former students
the college and members of the
Faculty. The following section is
extracted from the constitution.
“Any male member of the Alum
ni of the college may become an
active member at any time by pay
ing the regular dues to the Treasur
er and having his name recorded by
the Secretary”.
“Associate membership shall
consist of all former members of
this Association; also members of
the Faculty and corps of instruc
tors who have paid the same ath
letic fees as required of active
members”.
“Both active and associate mem
bers shall attend the meetings and
have equal rights to the floor but
the vote shall be confined to
the active members.”
i [One feature of the associate
membership as applied to classes
of the constitution quoted above is
that it entitles the member to ad
mission to all the a'hletic contests
held on the home grounds under
the auspices of the Athletic Asso
ciation.
The annual dues of the Athletic
Association are $6.00. At this rate
there is a considerable saving over
the price of tickets sold for indi
vidual contests. Anyone desiring
to take advantage of this member-

Dr. Daniel F. Luby.
Penn State is fortunate in secur
ing the services of Dr. Daniel F.
Luby as football trainer for our
varsity team. Dr. Luby graduated
from Penn Medical, was resident
physician at the Bellevue Hospital,
N. Y., and the hospital for crippled
children at New York. Besides
being a valuable trainer, Dr.
Luby has had valuable athletic ex
perience himself, having played on
the Pmn varsity, won a record at
Mercersburg in the hammer throw
and having been a track athlete.
Mass Meetings.
Wednesday morning will be giv
en over for the present to the mass
meeting of the three upper classes
instead of the devotional exercises.
Since important college matters are
likely to be voted upon at any
meeting, a large attendance is de
sirable.
“Collegian.” to the Alumni
The “Collegian” will be mailed to
the members ot the classes of 1911,
and 1912 for two weeks. If no
recognition is given of the desire
for subscriptions, the following
copies will be discontinued.
