Religious, athle tic, social, and departmental activit ies seem to be firmly established, and yet, literary activities, the very ground on which we associate the best universities and colleges, seem to have played no part in our stud ent affairs. To know that in a college of almost two-thousand students,there is no distinct literary organization, is very humiliating. The Debating Council has taken up this mattar and submits the fol lowing plans for the establishment of such a society: Object of the society—edu cational and social. Educational—to consist in de bates, trials, lectures, readings, discussions, publication of a monthly. Social—to consist in musical and other activities which will aim to promote a spirit of good fellow ship. Name of the society—The Forum, Meetings—to be held every Mon day evening. Membership—The society shall be open to any student of the Pennsylvania State College, in structors of the college to be eligi ble for honorary membership. Membership to be recognized by the awarding of a certificate upon graduation, and an insignia in the form of an lonic column. Duties of Members—Each mem ber to be assigned to a group. Groups to consist of ten members under the leadership of a chair man. Each group to make up the programs of four successive meet ings; each member in the group taking an equal share in the pro grams. Failure of a member to present the assigned part shall re sult in a fine and in case of continu ed voluntary failure ,to result in im peachment from membership. Role of attendance to be taken at every meeting; members to be fined for absence. Candidates for membership to present their names to Professor Frizzell, E. S. Ross, or H. R. The first meeting will be held this Wednesday evening, April 2, in Room K, Library, at 7:30 p. m. COLLEGE NOTES. Captain James P. Robinson of `the General Staff, Washington, D.

ENGINEERING NOTES Professor P. B. Brenneman has for about two years been in charge of the investigation being carried on by the Engineering Experiment Station upon the effect of heat treatment of steel. Professor Brenneman has been able to increase the life of the cutting edge of tool steels very considerably by the use of his methods. He has up to the present time collected such an amount of valuable data that he will shortly submit material for a bulletin. On last Saturday night Dean Jackson addressed a body of engi neers in Harrisburg. Among other subjects, he discussed the bills for vocational education and the licensing of engineers, which are now being considered by the legislature. Through the intercession of Pro fessor Kinsloe and Mr. Turnock the Electro Chemical Depart ment has just received as a gift from the Thos. A. Edison Co., Inc., of Orange. N. J., eight different types and sizes of primary cells such as are used for railway sig naling, telegraph and . telephone work, and similar service. These cells will be used for lecture work and demonstrating. In addi tion the National Carbon Company has given the department a number of gravity cells, Fuller Cells, and Leclanche cells of different kinds, as well as many types of dry bat teries, and fifty dry cells for test ing purposes. The Engineering Experimental Station will begin tests soon on the new fuel "Gesene" for which so much is claimed. The tests that the station has recently been con ducting on carbureters have been run on a Jacobson engine; and as the Jacobson Engine Company and the Cornplanter Refining Company (makers of "Gasene" by the Taylor process) are closely identified. Both companies are anxious that the first tests to be made of the new fuel shall be made at this col lege. Professors Moyer and Cal derwood are in direct charge of this work. Professor Diemer recently attend ed a meeting of the National Metal Trades Association held in Chica go, and addressed the meeting briefly, taking part later in a general discussion on the subject of In dustrial Vocational Education.
