It is said by those familiar with the Ume business of the country that Dr. Frear has done as much as any other we in the development of that Industry. Dr. William Frear. Pennsylvania and lime, are the three names Intimately fltiVad in the minds of all persons fam iliar with the agriculture of the eastern United States, according to the "Agri cultural Lime News Bulletin," the offi cial publication of the National Lime Association. Speaking of Dr. Frear the bulletin soys further: "His work will stand os one of the •monuments to the. Intelligent practice -of liming soil for improvement." the medium of Professor J. Zyf. -White, of the - Agronomy Dept, ■the leading lime firms of the state and those.that do business in the state have become greatly Interested in the pro -posal to erect the memorial dormitory. He has also interested fertilizer, people in the proposition, and it is entirely probable that these people will in time unite their forces and build a hand some structure In honor of the greatest soil chemist the state has ever known. The proposition has been received favorably by the leaders of .the National Lime Association and the National Ag ricultural Limestone Association. They T have taken their share of the project In their own hands and In the near fu ture some favorable report is expected la the possibUiy of its being made a success. The fertilizer people are of the same relative opinion, though this phase may take more time to complete. The lime people are calling special meetings of the officials to consider thr proposition and the ways and means for securing the necessary funds. The general campaign is progressing steadily. The success of the special group of faculty canvassers sent to counties last week was such that plans are being made to send similar groups to other counties where hdp Is needed In stirring up interest in the campaign. Dean C. W. Stoddart.took a group to Berks county last Monday and with the cooperation of the local alumni organi sation they expect to give that county a good start towards raising its quota.

C. games last Wednesday, with whom he competed at the Millro9e games a week ago. Earl Eby, Chicago A. C. star who took second place at the Millrose meet, finished third at Newark, while Sidney Leslie, of New York A. C. was second. Captain Kauff man finished third in the 70-yard high hurdles. The first to cross the finish tine in this event was Carl Christier son, unattached, who showed wonder ful form, his time for the event being 9 and 2-5 seconds. KaufTman was first in his heat, run before the finals, doing the distance In 9 and 3-5 seconds. The name of the second man to finish the hurdles had not been ascertained nt time of writing. Christlerson likewise won his first heat in 9 and 3-5 seconds. Helffrich’s time was l minute. 17 and 2-5 seconds. The 600-yard event was run over the one-tenth mile boards, and both the dash nnd the hurdles were run with smooth shoes. Practice for Coming Meets Attention is called to the,fact that the Meadowbrook A. C. meet* which is erroneously scheduled on the sports folder for tomorrow does Hot take place untti after the indoor ates which will occur about March third. The next events for the Nit tany track team are the New York Ath letic Club contest, and the Johns Hop kins games at Baltimore, February twenty-fourth. Coach Cartmell hopes to enter a two-mile relay team in these meets, and will hold trials soon. Helffrich will probably participate in a special event, and it is also likely that he will run on the relay team. If hurdle events are scheduled, there is a prob ability that "Nate" Cartmell will send Captain Kauffman also. Frosh Bonners Prepare The Penn State yearling runners are preparing to enter a medley relay In one or more of the coming ’games, and Coach Cartmell Is doing his best to de velop a medley team that will fill the bill.

Period Set Aside by Student Council for Fostering of Penn State Spirit Plans for the devotion of one week to • the revival and fostering of Pefnn State spirit were discussed at the last meeting of the Student Council. It was formally passed that February nineteenth to twenty-fourth be set aside for this cause. At this meeting suggestions as to the best methods of preparing for its observance were submitted. The Stu dent Council suggested -that all classes hold meetings within the very near future to discuss this matter, and .that all honor societies, fraternities, and other campus organizations take up the subject with a view to developing it and making some* preparation for Its enactment. ' The idea of having each class stage some unique stunt on the campus dur ing Penn State Spirit Week met with instant approval. It would require some work to prepare a stunt., which would be symbolic of Penn State and its true spirit, but, with cooperation, it con be accomplished. It was also suggested that the question of spirit be further revived by having the stu dents of english write themes ion "Psnn State Spirit”. Thla, mum. STATE COLLEGE. PA..

This will bo the' farthest south that the team has ever gone to play baseball, and is an- ideal trip with which to start the sepson. Owing to limited space In the pinii* lon, there is no opportunity for batting! or running, and practice is confined to; pitching, catching, ani throwing.

This exhibit is con sidered one of the beat cxatnploa of urt brought to Penn'State, the work of Holbein being unequaled in his manner of character portrayal. These drawings, done in chalk, were made by Holbein about 1530. He was employed by Henry VIII to make por traits of of the court at that time. The chalk drawings were done as a preliminary to the porrait work. The outstanding feature of this col lection is the way in which Holbein has brought out the characters of his subjects with the least amount of linos on the paper. One can cover the entire upper porlon of the drawing's head and still be able to read the char acter in the chin and mouth, which are of the fewest number of lines pos sible. Another collection of interest in the gajlcry is that of O. G*. Wales, a Penn sylvanian. who has painted many landscapes typical of Pennsylvania. These landscapes include country scenes with shaded streams, u pond bordering on the edge of the field, old fashioned flower gardens, scenes of summer and autumn. One of the best pictures is that of a moonlit bay, with : a sailing vessel nt anchor. Other pictures show views of for eign countries, especially street scenes, with their shops, old houses and quaint people. AH of these works are done in oil.

M. C. A. and the Department of Music. The singers have agreed to stop over at Penn Sate for a one night engagement on their transcon tinental tour of this winter, and their concert promises to be one of the most attractive offered thus far this year by the ’Y" course. Miss Hays’ position as one of Amer ica’s most popular coloratura artists is secure and the reputation which she has built up with her group of assist ants ranks them as one of the fore most in Now York. While most of the work of the organization has been done in and around that city, repeat ed calls for concerts in the western cities have made Miss Hays partic ularly well-known in the west. While iu* accurate program of the concert which is to be presented to morrow night lias been received, it will probably Ik* of the same nature as those given on similar platforms i throughout the east. Costumed ex cerpts from many of the old favorite operas such as "Faust*'. "Kigoletto". "Carmen", "11 Trovaiore". ami "Mar tha". will feature the program, with n generous »sprinkling •of special..sel ections from famous cantatas ami ora torios included in the concert. In all of tiie operatic scenes, the Mary Adel Singers have endeavored to make them musically and artistically cor rect and the applause which they have received in previous concerts has shown how well they have succeeded. The Mary Adel Hays Opera Singers comprise Mary Adel Hays, the colora tura soprano who leads the .group; Miss Katharine Richards, contralto; Mr. Claude• Schell.'tenor;’ "Mr. John Walnman, baritone; and Miss Huelaii Clark, pianist and flutist. ; The' entire organization has-been .with *Miss -‘Hays during past seusons sp .that .the.-group is not an experiment in any sense-of the word.

Although not complete It' is rapidly taking form and now may be viewed as something tan gible to be looked upon with pride. The building is being constructed with fire-pfroof brick and is supported throughout with steel and cement. The two wings of the building, one on either end, add greatly to the size of the building. It will contain ev erything in the line of conveniences and adaptability for Its intended use. It has been the expressed wish about the campus that the new build ing be ready for occupancy by.the close of this semester. According to j Information gained from reliable sources' it' is plausible to exjiect its completion about the first of June. This will permit tho bousing of many summer school students if such ac tion is authorized by the College.
