The regis tration up to date had been a little below that of last year at the same time, but this VillS accounted for by the large numbir of old men out on conditions. The incoming class numbers about two hundred and fifty Men, considerably less than had been anticipated. President Atherton welcomed the old and new men with his usual felicity and gave the latter some good advice on their future conduct in college. After the exercises, the rest of the day was spent in the usual organization of classes. Looking about for familiar faces, quite a number are found missing. The Senior class numbers about ninety, the Juniors, one hundred and ten, and the Sophomores, one hundred and seventy. Among the faculty nod instruc- tors there, are guile a number of new, faces, We have endeavored Vocational Guidance Tests The Student Advisory .

It is the oldest direct ances tor of the Daily Colle gian, which this year marks its tenth• year of daily publication. The State Collegian was the successor to a campus literary maga zine, the Free Lance. The Lance lived for 17 years on an irregvlar monthly publication schedule. In 1904. however, the staff realized that a monthly could not serve the infor mation needs of 'a rapidly growing College, and abandoned the Lance for a weekly newspaper. It was the first attempt to produce a real news paper at the College. In Sept. 1911, the pap er's name was changed to and the size expanded to the Penn, State Collegian 5 columns: As the Penn State Collegian,, the pa per suffered its only break in continuous pub liaction when war born shortages closed it down for three months in 1918- 19.
