Things About Ourselves,
The college issues a semi momth
ly bulletin which is sent to various
newspapers of the state, and in the
current issues we vote the following
items which may be of general
interest to students.
Poultry fanciers Ton the farms of
this State are to be assisted in im
proving their flocks by the Pennsyl
vania State college, according to a
recent announcement made by
M. C. Kilpatrick, head of the poul
try department at the institution.
He said that blooded cockerels
grown at the college farms would
be sold at cost through the various
county farm bureaus.
Defending the modern college
student, Dr. E. E. Sparks, president
of the Pennsylvania State college,
in a recent address at the Central
Y. M. C. A., in Philadelphia, said
there never was a time when clean
living prevailed as largely among
college men as at present. In his
opinion athletics have set a stand
ard for taking care of the body; for
demonstrating that the wages of sin
is, death.
The most approved methods of
scientific crop and animal raising
will be expounded to Western
Pennsylvania farmers by a corps of
experts from the Pennsylvania
State college at the Monongahela
House, Pittsburgh, on February 23,
24 and 25. There will be 19
lectures upon whatever topics are
involved in lessening the cost of liv
ing or increasing the net return from
farms. The care of fruit trees, the
cultivation of alfalfa, the breeding
of beef, chickens and swine, the
the sale of produce, along Iwith
many kindred will all be
discussed.
The Band Concert.
The Cadet band will give its
first conceri of the new term in the
auditorium, next Sunday evening
at eight o’clock. Band master
Thompson has been making the
men work nights and the program
following will show the results of
their labors. The Varsity quartete
is to render one number, and Aus
tin’s ability to entertain will be
once more in evidence. The
program:
March, dedicated to W. O.
Thompson and Cadet Band, by C.
H. Berheim; Overture, "Fest"; Var
sity Quartet, Selected; (a)
“Angel’s Serenade”, Obligati, F. R.
Morey, T 7 (b) "Simple Aveu”,
Saxophone, J. E. Morrow, T 6;
selection, “Adele”; reading, Select
ed, L. R. Austin; waltz’ "Beautiful”
Blue Danube"; suite, “Americana”;
"The Star Spangled Banner”.
The audience is requested to rise
and sing the first stanza of the
“Star Spangled Banner”, when that
number is played.
We Wonder
When the fire company is going
to get its red shirts.
Who has charge of the doors of
the Auditorium when a big crowd
is on hand.
Why Babe had such a crowd Fri
day night.
What the faculty thinks about
the honor system.
When the townspeople will bail
out their sidewelks.
When the construction of a
cement walk to Ag hill will be
begun.
Why the Glee club needs a bene-
Registrar’s Notice
All students having re-examina
tions on Wednesday afternoon,
which conflict with their classes,
seould secure permits far enough
in advance to enable them to be
excused from class work. The
Registrar’s office will be closed on
Saturday afternoon.
Lehigh Wrestlers Next
Captain Lamb and his wrestlers
will meet Lehigh university next
Monday, Washington’s birthday, at
South Bethlehem. Wrestling at
Lehigh is quite as popular as it is
at Penn State and a fine meet
should result.
Lamb's opponent will be Pons
who weighs 260 pounds and who
was fast enough to play football.
He has won both of his bouts this
year, throwing his Navy opponent
in two minutes.
The 175 pound man is their
heavyweight of last year, Good.
Captain Sawtelle will be Yerger’s
opponent and Lehigh considers him
to be her best. He wrestled but
little last year due to a broken arm.
He played end on the football team
this year.
The other weights of the team
are well balanced. Kirkhoff, 115
pounds, and Martin, 125 pounds,
are veterans and the other two men
have much experience.
The team defeated Columbia
winning all except one bout but
they lost four bouts out of se\ en to
the Navy. In view of this record,
the team should return Tuesday
with another victory, but every
bout will be well fought especially
those of Long and Kirkhoff, Saw
telle and Yerger and Lamb and
Pons.
On Tuesday evening, February
23, there will be a meeting in the
Old Chapel, of all members of the
Y. M. C. A. The purpose of this
meefing will be to discuss sugges
tions for extending and improving
the work of the association. All
members are asked to be present,
and to bring along any criticism or
suggestion which they may have
regarding the welfare of the asso
ciation. The nature of this meet
ing is an invocation, and if suc
cessful, it will be followed by
others.
Syracuse university is consti act
ing a new $250,000 forestry build
ing and a $lOO,OOO law building.
