WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1913
Track has for
some time been a
Development major sport at Penn
State, and our track
teams have always passed through
more or less successful seasons
However, the development in this
branch of athletics has been especi
ially noticeable during the last few
This year a good dual meet
schedule was opened by the defeat
of Virginia, the southern cham
pion; and last Saturday's victory
over the Indians may be looked
upon with a great deal of pride.
Several other track meets occurred
thce=tr - day; - notably - thc Yale-
Harvard, Penn-Cornell, Princeton-
Columbia and Middle States meets.
Penn State records for the day
compare very favorably with those
made by the athletes of the larger
universities, though the latter con-
tested on tracks which were, per
haps, somewhat faster.
Armsby's leap of six feet one
inch was by far the best perform-
ance of the day: Hammitt's time of
sixteen seconds in the low hurdles
was beaten only by Harvard, the dif
ference being one and a fifth sec
onds; White's hundred yard record
was reduced only a fifth of a sec
ond by Cornell, and Piner's two
twenty dash beaten two fifths by
Penn's Olympic sprinter; with these
exceptions the Penn State fliers
would have outdistanced any col
leges in these events. In the longer
runs the time in other meets was
usually faster than in the State-In
dian events, but the difference was
not unusually great in any. Our
showing at Carlisle is simply one
of many indications of the develop
ment of track athletes at Penn
State with the aid of excellent
equipment and coaching.
It may be said that
Discretion there is opportunity for
discretion in every
thing, even in the simple act of
posting a notice on any of our con
venient bulletin boards. It is hard
ly fair or reasonable for a college
organization, important or unim
portant, religious or otherwise, to
tack up a huge card board in such
a way as to cover smaller signs of
such important nature as lists of
nominees for class offices—the lat
ter being restored to public view
and consideration only by the fore
thought of an indignant bystander.
If more room is needed fora post
er, it is a comparatively simple
matter to make this room by
arranging smaller unoccupied
places; buc it seems to be rather
weighty "evidence" of importance
to assume the right of precedence
over all others.
AGRICULTURAL NOTES
The Student Gardens on the Col
lege Farm are attracting much at
tention. Students may be seen at
work on these plots at almost any
hour of the day. The work is ex
ceedingly valuable to students tak
ing the course in Vegetable Gard
ening and particularly to those who
have lived in cities and, therefore,
have had not farm experience.
Farm Superintendent C. L. Good
ling has been making some very
interesting and valuable demonstra
tions with lime and fertilizers on the
College Farms. Applications of a
small quantity of lime alone to
clover on the Spring Creek Farm
have given most marked results.
All students in the School of Agri
culture should see these demonstra
tions on meadow and pasture lands
before returning to their home com
munities for the summer vacation.
Professor M. S. McDowell, Head
of the Department of Agricultural
Extension, will accompany a party
of prominent educators to the Uni
versity of Wisconsin this week to
study the extension work of that
institution.
A Report
The following is an extract from
an article in a recent number of the
Journal of the Engineers' Society
of Pennsylvania.
"A repOrt, which seems to be
well founs:led, is to the effect that
Professor John Price Jackson, Dean
of the School of Engineering at the
Pennsylvania State college, has
been asked to head the proposed
State Department of Labor and In
dustry. This fact, in itself, means
that the ability and integrity of an
eminent engineer are recognized by
those at the head of the state gov
erment, as well as by those who
have come into personal and pro
fessional contact with him. That,
if he accept this public trust, he
will administer the affairs of his
department in the most efficient
and progressive manner, can no
more be doubted than that he wil
grace the office."
Thespian Organization
The members of the Thespian
club have elected the following
officers for next year:—president,
S. J. Keister 'l4; secretary, M. C.
Liebensberger 15; treasurer, J. E.
Freeman 'l4; manager, H. G.
Shupe 'l4; adx ertising manager, C.
S. Van Reed 'l4; assistant mana
gers, C. B. Dowd 'l5 and R. H.
Wilson 'l5.
The board of faculty directors
will be the same for next year, con
sisting of Professors Pattee, Frizzell
and Stoddard. Prof. J. S. Crandell
will continue to hold the office of
general treasurer.
Students and faculty of the
School of Engineering recently had
the privelege of listening to an
address by Mr. John Calder, Presi
dent of the International Motor Co.,
formerly the General Manager of
the Cadillac Motor Car Co., and al
so of the Remington Typewriter Co.
His addresses were on the subject
of "Business Organization".
Mr. Ernest J. Hall, a member of
the present senior class in Alle
gheny College, has been appointed
Fellow in English for the ensuing
year.

ENGINEERING NOTES
Two large carburetors have been
built by the Mechanical Engineer
ing Department to test the
effect of spraying kerosene into the
air entering the carburetors. The
operation of the Franklin engine
(using kerosene for fuel)has been
improved by the introduction of
Deppe's spiral mixers in the mani
fold at each cylindei..
The apparatus set up by the
senior electrical engineers Fuhr
mann, Grabe and Dosch, and later
modified by Reese and Rabell, of
the senior mechanical engineers, for
depositing solid particles from flue
gases by electrostatic treatment has
given results that indicate that with
suitable arrangement of electrodes
and proper size of rectifiers the
abatement of the smoke nuisance
may become a commercial possi
bility.
The Engineering Experiment
Station is running daily tests with
an apparatus for determining the
distribution of pressures on earth
covered culverts, and the results of
the tests so far have been excellent.
The pressures used have only
amounted to a few hundred pounds
per square foot, but in the next few
months a larger and more sub
stantial machine of the same gen
eral design will be built capable of
taking care of pressures up to six
thousand pounds per square foot.
Locker Keys!
Gymnasium locker keys, if re
turned before commencement week,
will redeem the one dollar deposit,
or, if lost and reported to Director
Lewis before that time, one-half of
the deposit will be returned. The
entire deposit will be lost on all
keys not turned in at the director's
office, or reported lost, before June
9, 1913. .
