The Cosmopolitan Club Active.
Friday evening April 4th., the
Cosmopolitan Club presented the
Greek National Night. The pro
gram was very illuminating and
afforded much enjoyment to the
audience.
Mr. Pavlides, a Greek native of
Asia Minor, spoke on the social and
political development of Greece.
He recounted the struggle that the
nation has undergone in its efforts
to free itself from Turkish dominat-
Mr. Sofianso, a native of Greece,
very vividly related the part Greece
is taking in the present Balkan War.
He blamed the Turk for the back
wardness of these small nations and
prophesied a period of regenera
tion at hand.
Mr. Pavlides, after translating
several verses of the Greek national
song rendered the patriotic hymn
which was very much appreciated
by all those present.
Mrs. Gardner very ably presented
the last number of the program.
She told the story of Homer's cele
brated poem, The Odyssey. The
wanderings of Ulysses, after the
seige of Troy, were clearly and
forcefully depicted. This is the
second time that Mrs. Gardner has
taken part in a Cosmopolitan Club
program, and the interest shown on
these occasions is clearly demon
strated by the appreciative audience
present -at these meetings.
Mr. Schwartz, Vice-President of
the club presided at this affair.
This entertainment was one of a
series of national nights, which the
Cosmopolitan Club has been pre
senting to the public. The main
purpose of these meetings is to
bring the American public face to
face with the foreign student and to
give each a chance to study the
other at first hand. Mr. Edwin D.
Mead, the great American peace
advocate, in a recent address in
Chicago on "America as a World
Power" referred to the Cosmo
politan Clubs as "the greatest
hopes in modern education". This
fact can only be realized when one
knows the extent of these organi
tions. There are chapters existing
in all the higher institutions of
learning of the world. embracing all
nationalities and all spoken lan
guages. It is a movement for de
mocracy and toleration.
It is to be hoped that the student
body will take advantage of the op
portunity which these meetings af
ford, to learn the point of view of
men wbo come from other lands.
Mr. Kelsey's Lecture Pleases Large
Audience
Mr. Albert Kelsey, F. A. I. A.,
delivered an illustrated lecture on
the architecture of Yucatan and
Mexico, in the Auditorium, Satur
day evening, April sth. Mr. Kelsey
is well-known to those interested in
architecture at Penn State, as he
has delivered two previous lectures
before the students of architecture
here. He himself is an architect of
national reputation, and in collab
oration with Professor Craig, a well
known New York engineer, recently
drew up the winning plans for the
construction of the Pan-American
Union building at Washington, D. C.
In his talk Saturday evening. Mr.
Kelsey told of his journey to
Yucatan, Vera Cruz and Mexico ,
City, touching swiftly on the ap-
pearance, customs and points of
interest in each section. He then
drew a contrast between the older
architecture of Mexico, and our
own.
The latter' part of the lecture was
taken up by views and explantations
of the Pan-American Union build
ing, which embodies many of the
impressions, of the industrial con
ditions, as well as the artistic
tendencies, of the Latin-American
countries, gained by Mr. Kelsey
during his trip. From his inter
pretation of the statuary and friezes
shown on the slides, it was seen to
be a true work of art and admirably
adapted to its purpose of represent
ing all "the Americans". The lect
urer ended with an appeal to the
American people to think more of
representing themselves in their
architecture. Coming from such
a source, this should prove a
valuable hint to some of our future
architects who heard it.
The lecture was well attended,
the students of architecture and
landscape-gardening being espe
cially numerous and attentive. The
lantern slides were very clear, and
served to make the speaktr's ex
planations and descriptions doubly
vivid. Anecdotes and tales of ad
venture added to the enjoyment of
the audience. And it is therefore
with pleasure that we learn that at
least one other lecture of this series
will be represented here by Mr.
Kelsey during the course of the
spring.
La Crosse Inaugurated
La Crosse, one of the most popu
lar games played by the Eastern
colleges, is about to be started at
Penn State. As the demand for
more lines of athletic activity in
creases owing to the rapid growth
of our institution, La Crosse for
many reasons seems to be worthy
of first consideration.
Few students here know much
about the game so all candidates
who desire to try out for this sport
will be started on an equal footing.
This affords an excellent oppor
tunity for a man, new at the game,
to come out and by conscientious
work to make the Varsity team, for
one has been promised us by the
Athletic Association next year,
providing the interest and efforts
shown by the candidates sanction
it. This game is popular in all col
leges where played and there is
absolutely no reason why it should
not become so here.
The men who have taken the
initative and upon whom all the
work thus far has fallen are Har
rower 'l3 and Farley 'l6. Both are
men of practical experience in the
game and competent of handling it.
Regular practice will begin Thurs
day at 4:30 p. m. on New Beaver
Field. Men who drill at this
period can be transferred to a morn
ing section by special arrangement.
Orders for sticks may be left at the
Graduate Manager's office in Main
Building. The price is $3.50.
Mrs. Sparks obtained two dona
tions for the proposed college hos
pital while in Pittsburgh last week.
One was given by Mr. J. D. Callery,
a trustee of the college, and anoth
er by Mr. Charles H. McKee, of the
class of 1873. An entertainment
given by the committee of the State
College Woman's Club recently
cleared $BO for the same purpose.
