A LITERARY SOCIETY
Plans Are on Foot for the Establish
ment of a Literary Society at
Penn State
•If there is anything lacking in
our student activities, it is in
literary matters. 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.

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.
