Agronomy Organization Is-Active
in Promoting Student Ac
tivities on Ag Hill
The Clover Club of Penn State will
hold a meeting. March first for the
Installation of the officers selected at
the last meeting and to plan social
activities for the remaining months.
At si recent meeting the following
officers were elected: President, F. \V.
Wnlp ’23: Vice President. L. 11. l-rfdio
*23; Secretary, D. R. iCunkie ’24;
Treasurer, if. M. Smith '24. These
Dflicers are determined to make the
Hub one of the live wire organizations
on the Hill, and at the next meeting,
when they will he installed, they plan
to start the hall rolling. Sled loads
nnd social meetings are a part of the
program that has been mapped out
thus far.
The Clover Club is an organization
of students'of the Agronomy Depart-.
,wnt of Penn Stale. Under the lead
ership of last year’s officers the mem
bers of the Clover Club, staged a grain
show and grain judging contest, to
ward tin* end of the year. In spite of
the short time given the students, in
which to secure samples of grain for
exhibition, the show and contest were
gralifyltigiy successful, and the Club
intends to repeat the process next
winter, this time giving all prospec
tive participants plenty of opportuni
ty to raise nr procure high class grain.
The ultimate object that the Agrono
my students have in mind is the spon
soring of nn intercollegiate grain
Chow and Judging contest at Penn
State.
This is; a common practice among
many middle-western colleges, and
would lie; a contest' simitar to that
held at . Penn State last fall by the
student* of the Department of Horti
culture.

The existence of the Oivhes.ra a

It was nine years ago that Band

student body and the fact that it was
so heartily received shows that the
students also realize the need for a
