Enthusiastic Gathering of Alumni. Quite a large gathering of visiting alumni and ex-students spent Satur day evening, October 12th, at the residence of Dean Jackson in talk ing over the football game of the afternoon and renewing recollections r of college days: " At the request of ..a number of men, President Sparks spoke at some length upon the past accomplishments and future plans of the college. He was followed by Mr. Ray Smith who took up the various alumni projects under way. Under the inspiration of these talks, the gathering resolved itself more or less into a committee on Penn State Promotion. Dean Jackson /sent out a general invitation intend ed for all visiting alumni with the result that between forty and fifty of the old men were present, repre senting classes ranging from 1878 to ,1912. The gathering undoubtedly added materially to the sum total of Penn State enthusiasm and good spirit. • / Resolutions of Condolence. ’Whereas God in his infinite wis dom has seen fit to remove from 'our midst one of our classmates, David Jefferson Horning, be it re solved,; that we, the class of 1914 of the''Pennsylvania State College, ex tend, our sincere sympathy to his family and relatives in their bereave ment. And furthermore, be it resolved that this resolution be entered upon the- minutes of the class and published in the Penn State Colleg ian. And furthermore, be it resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent the family. ■ Committee: C. Edward Lyon, Clarence D. Gibbs and Paul P. Suiter. Faculty Notes. ' Dean Holmes gives a series of ad dresses at the Lebanon County In stitute this week. . Dr. and Mrs. Armsby arrived at ,‘Bremenheban on October first, and are_nowin Berlin. They will next go to Bomm where Dr. Armsby will make a study of the Calorimeter at that place. German Play Trials. In another article in this paper it was announced that the Deutscher Verein would probably stage “Alt Heidelberg" in German. The play has not yet been quite definitely decided upon but tentative trials will be held very soon. The cast comprises nineteen list ed characters, including three ladies. Besides this there are a number of supernumerary parts and several openings for singers and guitarists. A wide variety of individual quali ties of character will be needed and therefore an opportunity will be given to a maximum number of fel lows to find the particular niches in the cast to which they are best adapted. Characters will be chosen for distinctness of pronunciation, accent, expression, ease of manner, other personal traits, etc. This play will be a big and diffi cult one and cannot be produced without abundant support. All, especially freshmen, who are able to pronounce German reason ably well are urged to turn out for trials. Time and place for trials will be chalked on walks and in buildings. “Cousin Kate” On Saturday, October 26, in the Auditorium, the Y. M. C. A. of the college will produce, by special ar rangement with Mr. Charles Froh man, the Modern English comedy, “Cousin Kate”, by Mr. Hubert Davies. The popularity of this play has been masked on both the English and the American stage. It was the charm of “Cousin Kate” that won a place in the hearts of the American theatre-going public for Miss Ethel Barrymore. The play, as written by Mr. Davies, presents a fascinating phase of modern society,_and abounds in scintillating wit and humorous situations. The Misses Ancona,Williams,Guth rie, Heuer, and the Messrs. Hughes, Deering, and Lincoln will appear in the several parts. Rehearsals have begun, and a finished product is assured under the direction of Mr. C. L. Downing, who for the last four years has so successfully stag ed The Penn State Thespian pro ductions. New Engine, The Detroit Engine Works will send a three horse power stationary engine to the Mechanical Engineer ing department. The engine is equipped with a carburetter for us ing both gasoline and kerosene, and intended for use of the students in the School of Agriculture who take the course in the mechanical labora tory known as Experimental Engi neering 9, or farm machinery. This type of engine is suitable particular ly for service on farms, and on country estates. WE WONDER. Not, but firmly believe that Penn State will win “The Other Six” football games. If Director Robinson’s good work is not highly appreciated. If Cornell, Penn, Ohio Stale, and Pitt noticed the W. and J.-Penn State score. How many fellows are saving their odd dollars to enable them to attend the Penn and Pitt games. What the freshmen will discuss next semester in the absence of our own “Swamp.” Deutscher Verein Meeting. A meeting of the German society, known as the Deutscher Verein, open to the public, will be held in the Old Chapel Friday night at 7:30. This is the second of a series of meetings which will usually be held on alternate Fridays. The idea is to entertain all who attend,to foster an interest and to instruct in things German, and finally, aim to bring into pleasant social contact those who are interested in German literature’ customs, and character. A speaking knowledge of German is not necessary in order that one may appreciate any of the society’s programs, yet German songs a r always a feature of the evening and a German number on the literary program is common. Eligibility to to take German 3 constitutes eligibility for membership in the society. If prospective members will kindly h-nd their names to one of the following men, they will con fer a favor upon the society's offic ers and will place themselves in line for the society’s first large social event of the year, which will likely take place soon: Rosen, T 3, 431 McAllister Hall; Moffit, ’l5, 428 Main Bldg. Some of the society’s activities during the year will be the or ganization of an orchestra and “studentenchor”br glee-club,and the presentation of a German play, which will probably, be “Alt Heidelberg”. ’ ' 7“' As regards the,.orchestra and student choir, all who care to try out for either can arrange to do so by consulting any of the members mentioned above. However small a man’s musical ability may be, the leader of either orchestra or student choir will gladly give him a thorough and fair tryout. Alumni Association of New York The regular fall meeting of the Alumni Association of New York will be held Saturday evening, Oc tober 26th, at 6:30 p. m., in Keen’s English Chop House, 70 West Thir ty-Sixth Street. In addition to the annual election of officers and oth er important business, plans will be discussed for organizing a delega tion to the State-Penn game in Phil adelphia on November 2nd. It is quite likely that a reception and re union to the team will be held in Philadelphia before or after the game, full details of which will be announced at the meeting. The question of a State game in New York City in 1913 will also be discussed at the meeting. Advantageous arrangements have been made with Keen’s English Chop House, so that each member may order his own dinner as desir ed, on the “Dutch treat plan”. There will be no additional expense. If you cannot come in time for the dinner we shall look for you later. Plenty of good fellowship and Penn State spirit, will be on tap all the evening. Contractors Are Busy. The contractors on the college sewage disposal plant have begun work on all the units. Trenching for the sewer has been started, as well as excavation for the tank screen chamber, siphon chamber, disinfecting house, secondary sedi mentation tanks, and sludge bed. Harry W.
