The rapidity with which the tags were taken by the students and al umni showed conclusively that tho student body and the alumni were de termined to send a laVgo delegation and that the Penn State spirit is as strong as over at the instltntion Tho tags were placed on sale at one-thirty and after ono hour the sale was lifted because all of the tags had disappear ed. The amount of total sales was approximately four hundred sixty dol lars which Is large enough to send an aggregation of forty pieces A minimum aid of four hundred dollars was asked by the old timers but this was oversubscribed by the generosity of' the donors' who gave from one cent to ten dollar donations for the cause Another reason for the success of the drive was the cheerful ness of all concerned, including stud ent body, alumni, and "visitors to the college The co-educaUonal students vveie asked to gather In the donations and the measure of their success can not be disputed Everyone they met came forth with a grin due to the an ticipation of the showing that the Penn State student band would make when it.matched on the gridiron on October twenty ninth.

Ferry, president of Hamilton College, delivered an exceed ingly interesting and inspiring sermon before the visitors and students who attended chapel last Sunday. . Dr Ferry is nationally famous Jn educa tional circles, and during his term as dean in one of tho schools of the col lege of which he is now president, ho was known by the students as ‘‘the square-deal dean " The subject of Dr Ferry's address was “The Symmetrical Life,” and his text taken from the Book of Revela tion was “And the length and tho brodth and tho height of it are equal.” After a short preliminary reflection on the Rovclator’S love of mathematical eq uality order, the speaker then stated that a man's life, If It bo lived to its full and proper extont, has throe dimensions —length, breadth, and height ' “Length iB typified, not by number of years, but by personal development gained mainly through Education which begins *at birth and should end only with death," said Dr Ferry Ho then wont on to show how education has developed in America and to laud the present tendency of tho American poople to send their children to college and thus prepare them for life But this does not necessarily assure strong chaructei in the college graduate, nor does a college education assure success in life Something necessary The second dimension of a full life, namely, breadth, is fulfilled In being, unscltish, kind, and thoughtful of oth ers That this also is being emphasis ed by the nations and individuals of the world now more than it over was, Is demonstrated in the relief of starv ing nations by their more fortunate nclghbois "Not narrowness, but but breadth, is characteristic of the people today,” says Dr Ferry The importance of the third dimen sion—height, has been emphasized throughout ages bv all kinds of people everywhere He also brought to the attention of his hearers the present lack of earnest and enthustlostlc men In uoth pulpit and pow and tho disap pearance from colleges of today of tho many praycr-mcotings, Bible classes, and so forth, wlilch a£ one time were so prevalent in schools all ovor tho country. But this does not mean that religion has disappeared from tho col lege man's life as Is shown by tho fact that practical • religion manifested in truth, honesty, and kindred virtue is t much more abundant now than ever before However, there is danger that this attitude towards religion may, in time, lead tho college student to be liovo that a book on ethics can take tho third dimension more than olthcr Jesus emphasized tho Importance of the place of God in his life. of the other two when ho said, “Sock ye first tho Kingdom of Heaven, and all'things shall bo added unto you” PARMI NOUS ELECTIONS R.

W Thatcher, director of tho ,Ne\w JXorlcJ Agrlritit'iral „ Experiment Station at- Geneva, "addressed"the 'con ference 'of the School of Agriculture last Thursday, on the subject ‘ The Outlook For Agricultural Research " Dr. Thatcher was formerly head of tho Agricultural Chemistry department of the Washington State College at Pullman, Washington, and afterwards of the* Division of Agricultural Bio- Chemistry at the University of Minne sota, finally being made Dean and Director of this Division During his four years spent In this latter capacity, he established an enviable roputation os a research organizer which led to his appointment as head of tho Genova station This latter post is one of the most sought-after and cherished posi tions of its kind In this country, since the Genova station is one of tho old est and best Agricultural Research stations in the United States The research woikers at this post do no teaching or graduato work whatever, their entire time being devoted to pure Agricultural research. Not only is Dr Thatcher widely known os a research organizer and director, but he Is na tionally famous as an author of books pertaining to dlscoveiies In Agricul tural Research, and as an expert cer eal investigator, his wheat investiga tions. being especially famous In his address on “The Outlook for Agricultural Research,” Dr Thatcher mentioned the tremendous part which the lesults of new discoveries played Jn the late war, and tho new impetus and enthusiasm which research men had loeeivod from the practical bene fits from theii woik, that had become •suddenly manifest All this, he said, seemed to bo particularly true of re search In Agriculture Now, however, the expected renaissance in Agricul tural Research seems to have been temporality thwarted by tho business depression and by the general clamor against incieused expenditure of pub lic funds for any purpose, stated tho speaker, who also went on to deolnrc that he considers this condition to be only temporary. Dean Thatcher also brought out that it is a self-evident fact that tho source of agricultural knowledge'is careful scientific investigation of tho laws of nature The research station helps in this with Its scientific Investigations and the farmer with his practical ex perience The great need and utmost importance of this agricultural research was clearly recognized by the earlier leaders in Agriculture, and thus it has come about that In most of tho states there are two agencies, or units, of tho Land-Grant Colleges whltih are poten tial sources for agricultural research work; these are tho experiment sta tion and the graduato school. Dr. Thatcher then discussed tho re sults obtained In Agricultural Research stations as compared with thoso found by Graduato Schools and brought out tho fnct that, after tho present financial depression.

Another Important change was in relation to the referee AH schools will be required to send a list of re ferees to the association office for ap-. provul so that all arbitrators must be picked from this list. The association has also decided to publish a rule book this year and send it to all the schools The business which was of most im portance to tho Penn State Students was tho declslou to hold the Intercol legiates at Lehigh this yeai.
