FRESHMAN RECEPTION
Hearty Reception to Class of 1918.
Large Attendance.
The Y. M. C. A. reception to the
class of 1918 held on last Friday
evening was the first large social
event of the college year, in which
practically all the college partici
pated. l'he reception was held on
the front campus and lasted from
7:30 to 9:30. The campus was
beautifully lighted by 150 Japanese
lanterns. Over the walk leading
from the street to Main building a
large arch was arranged bearing the
words “Welcome 1918”. As the
members of the student body pass
ed through they were presented to
Dr. Sparks by Vigor Cranston,
president of the college Y. M. C. A.
The hand of good fellowship was
extended by all the old men to the
men who are here for the first time
and a jolly good time was had by
all. The college Glee Club was on
hand to furnish music for the occa
sion. The Girl's Chorus also render
ed several much appreciated selec
tions. Messrs. Gillespie and Hall
were much applauded in their min
strel performances. Refreshment
booths, distributed at various
points around the campus, were in
charge of faculty ladies, who were
assisted by members of the Young
Men’s and Young Women’s associa
tions.
An effort was made to make all
the new men feel at home and co
convey to them some ot the loyal
Penn State spirit. The reception
was well planned and showed a
marked improvement over recep
tions of past years. Instead of a
somewhat boisterous spirit prevail
ing there was present a refined
atmosphere. This again shows the
remarkable influence of the Y. M.
C. A. upon the life at Penn State.
Forum Literary Society.
The Forum Literary Society is an
organization composed of men who
have banded themselves together
for the better developing of their
powers of expression The mem
bership is open to men from any
department of the school; it may
be secured by application signed
by three members of the society.
Meetings are held each Tuesday
evening at 7 o'clock in room K of
the Carnegie Library.
It is the aim of the society to
develop the literary side of the edu
cation of its members, chiefly along
the line of public speaking, debat
ing and original thought. During
the past the membership has been
limited on account of the smallness
of the room, but with the comple
tion of the new Liberal Aits Build
ing a larger hall will be secured
which will enable the membership
to be increased. New men with
literary ability are especially urged
to try out for this society. Inform
ation in regard to membership may
be secured from any member or by
attending any regular meeting of
the society.

been regularly appointed to the
Student Tribunal will adjudge all

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
Y. M. C. A. ENTERTAINMENTS
One of the Finest Courses in Years
Will be Furnished This Year.
The entertainment committee of
the Y. M. C. A. has arranged for
one of the finest courses ever held
at the Pennsylvania State College.
In past years, all old students know
the entertainments arranged for by
Y. M. C, A. have furnished a few
nights diversion during the long
winter evenings. Although some
what isolated, the men of State
have an excellent opportunity
through these courses to hear the
best things in music and literature.
Being in a technical school, the
men often have a tendency to
neglect the cultural and more
strictly refined side of their nature.
It is with the purpose of making up
this deficiency that these entertain
ment courses are offered.
The first of the series of enter
tainments will be held on Novem
ber 7ch, when the Marcus A. Keller
man Company will be here. This
company is largely a musical
organization. Mr. Kellerman, the
leader of the company is himself a
great singer, and has been employ
ed by the Edison Phonograph com
pany where his voice has been
reproduced on their records.
On November 21st, a fine even
ing is assured to all who attend.
Mr. Ralph Bingham, a humorist of
note, will be the leading figure on
the program. This will be the first
appearance of Mr. Bingham before
State College audience. He comes
to us highly recommended, and
should command a large audience.
Dr. Edward A. Steiner, a cele
brated lecturer, will be here on
December 12tb. Dr. Steiner is a
Russian, and is said to be one of
the best men on the platform in our
country today.
The date of the fourth entertain
ment has been set for January 9th.
On this evening the Kellog-Haines
Singing Party will occupy the stage.
This in a large company which can
be depended upon to furnish an en
joyable program.
The last of the five entertain
ments will be given on March 20th.
This will be probably by the best
one of the course. On this evening,
the Killernery Girls with Rita Rich
as leader, will be here. Their num
bers are made up almost entirely of
Scottish Songs. Coming with the
reputation of an excellent company,
the Killernery Girls will doubtless
be greeted by an large audience.
The five entertainments have all
been scheduled tnrough the Rid!
path-Brockway Lyceum Bureau.
The committee are to be congratu
lated upon their success in securing
such a splendid course of lectures
and entertainments.
An advanced ticket sale will be
begun within the next few weeks.
The Collegian will also publish a
detailed description of the enter
tainments as they appear from time
to time. In the meantime, anyone
who desires any further information
about the course, may communicate
with the members of the entertain
ment committee.
The committee is as follows
John D. Gold, chairman, W. R.
Stewart, J. E. Hannum, G. Jeffrey,
J. D. Zink, R. Greenland, and C. W
McDonald.
