A large size map of Pennsylvania has been prepared by the Indus trial Engineering department show ing the distribution of industrial education throughout the state. This map will serve as a very com prehensive basis for future work showing,as it does, what schools act as feeders to the Industrial Engi neering department of the college. Mr. Ralph W. Pope of Elizabeth, N. J., honorary Secretary of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, was in State College on Tuesday, October 22nd, and in the afternoon addressed the local branch of the A. I. E. E. on the subject Personal Element.” The initial meeting of The Archi tects Club was held on Friday even ing, October 25th. About 25 men were out, and from the enthusiasm that prevailed it is evident that this new club will be a lively factor in the social life of the college. The first part of the evening was caken up with talks by Dean Jackson, and other faculty members, Professor R. I. Webber presided. The quar tette rendered a song written specially for the occasion by Mr. Karcher and Mr. Robinson. After refreshments a Round Table was held in which many of the men ex pressed their ideas as how best the work of the organization may be carried on. Four mechanical engineering stud entsratrd’four electrical - effgtaeerffig students will run a series of tests on the Milton, Pa., turbo-generating station of the Northumberland Gas & Electric Co. Mr. M. G. Stratton, General Manager, was in State Col lege on Saturday,last, to confer with the Mechanical, and Electrical De partments about the tests. J. M. Spangler, 1911, is Maintain er of Signals on the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, at Rochester, N. Y. Mr. Albert Kelsey, an architect of Philadelphia, designer of the Pan American Building at Washington, D. C., and of the First Presbyterian Church, State College, spoke to a good sized gathering on ‘‘Architec ture and Landscape Accessories” last Saturday evening. His lecture was in the nature of chalk talk. This lecture was the first of a series that Mr. Kelsey will give here dur ing the coming year. They will be illustrated by lantern slides. Sunday’s Concert, The cadet band, under the lead ership of W. A. Moyer, gave its first concert of the year in the Audi torium last Sunday evening.. The selections were varied and the pro gram, besides being well balanced, was exceedingly well rendered. Though the organization has lost by graduation a number of its mem bers, among whom was the student leader of last year, its new members and leader have shown themselves easily capable of keeping up the old standard. A pleasing feature of the program was a sacred solo sung by Mr. C. C. Robinson. The student body has always shown great interest in the cadet band and greatly appreciates its efforts. This is no more than right yet it seems hardly appropriate 'to accord vociferous applause to a concert given on Sunday evening, and moreover, it is hardly necessary for the band to respond to an en core under such circumstances.

When the two classes, impatient and eager for the strife, lined up around the barrel, it seemed as though every man was there. At the signal shot the 1916 men beat their opponents to the barrel, but the sophomores had about 30 men up around it, before the freshmen had recovered from the first im- During the first part of the scrap the men on top were chiefly sopho mores; but by degrees their ad- versaries managed to bring their eminent shoulder trotters into play.
