WEDNESDAY, FEB. 26, 1913 The past few Behavior in months, the Auditorium. ing the presenta- tion of various entertainments and lectures, certain factions of the student audience have indulged in practices which can hardly receive commendation. It is a known fact that the com- mencement of a performance is gov erned usually by the timely arrival of the audience. If the patrons are tardy in coming, the performance begins so much later. It was how- ever the practice during recent events, for the students to start a system of applause, which savored more of an audience of expectant youngsters, than one composed of so-called intellectual college men. Another factor to be considered in this discussion, is the arrival of late patrons, and the untimely leav ing of others. There is one re quisite, which should be observed at all times in a public function, and that concerns itself with showing courtesy to those who perform. Nothing is more annoying than to have disturbances just after the en tertainment or lecture has begun, and to have a commotion just be fore it is concluded. Men who have come in late, have slammed the doors, and they have walked down the aisles, as though they were marching in a military review. If a person, anxious to attend a public function, for some reason or other is late, he should at least make it his duty to enter and find a seat as quietly as possible—not as though he were marching in a pa rade, but rather as though he were entering his home at two o'clock in the morning. There is really no excuse for per sons leaving before the conclusion of a lecture. If you cannot afford to stay for the evening, then do not attend at all, because by leaving early you discommode your neigh bors, and at the same time you disturb the lecturers or performers. There is one qualification which should be exemplified in a college man above everything else, and that is courtesy, and good-breeding. These are probably more noticeable in behavior in public, than at any other place. It would be well if the Auditorium audience would bear this in mind, and thus allow the Penn State student to betoken a man, possessed of tact, courtesy, and good-breeding. BY THE WAY The University of Wisconsin now has two daily publications, one of which appears each morning, the other in the evening. The University of Pittsburgh is considering the advisability of adopting the honor system; but they will not content themselves with any half-way plan, so a committee has been chosen to investigate the honor system of other colleges. It is claimed that the students of Harvard spend annually about $lOO,OOO for tobacco, $75,000 for drinks, and about $200,000 for, theatres, suppers and taxis. Five young Chinese students have arrived in this country for the purpose of studying in American schools and colleges. All five are at present in Washington, D. C., but two will soon enter Yale and the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology. The remaining three will prepare themselves for college en trance examinations. Interesting statistics on the awarding of the Yale letter since 1852 have been compiled. Only one man has won his letter in base ball, football, track, and crew, while thirteen men have attained it in three sports during this period. Only three men have won their let ter in football and track, while only one man has accomplished the feat in crew and baseball in the same year. As a rule the records show that in the years in which the best results were obtained by the teams, the fewest letters were awarded. Professor Migge, of Stanford University, has discovered a method of killing the microbes which prey upon human hair roots. He can make two hairs grow where none grew before. He has also discovered a poison which will cause rats to die outside their hole and has invented a process for making buttermilk in powder form. Of whatever importance these latter discoveries are, we will not attempt to predict, but in regard to the first—what a blessing for those learned college professors. By the way, it will also revolutionize the shampoo and wig industry. At a Yale Prom held recently, dancing was kept up until 11 a. m. This beats all records for "long dis tance" proms at Yale. Grade Reports All grades that have been sent in to the Registrar's Office for first semester subjects have now been recorded, and students' grade re ports are now ready for distribu tion. All seniors, juniors, sophomores and special students (including those in the two-year course) may obtain their grade reports by calling at the office of their respective deans. Freshmen may obtain their grade reports by calling at the Registrar's Office. No grade reports will be sent to students by mail. School of Mines Notes. D. T. Dilz, secretary of the Bituminous Coal Mining Institutes of the Y. M. C. A., lectured in the Old Chapel, Tuesday evening, Feb ruary 18th on "Mine Accidents and Their Prevention". The lecture was illustrated by over 100 slides showing how care lessness brought about disaster and then the proper way to do the same thing without endangering life. Recent numbers of Coal Age contain a series of articles by Dr. W. R. Crane on the Bering River Coalfields of Alaska.
