The new plant, which is planned to meet the college needs for heat and light for the next thirty-five years, will be built in the modified Georgian style, similar to the new Recreation hall and other recently erected college build- ings. It will be 120 feet square and 60 feet high with a 150-foot stack. The present power plant is to be retained as a testing laboratory for the School of Engineering.

As the sun returns in the east, so let our patience be renewed with plans for the use of the new Pennsyl- vania State Forest School which has resulted from the merging by. legisla- tive action of the Mount Alto and State College forestry instructional facilities. Freshman foresters are to spend the first year and summer camp at Mount Alto and then complete their course at State College, where they will be given opportunity to specialize as professional foresters, as lumber industry or wood utilization specialists or for private forestry work. A two-year course for forest rangers and forest guards, to be given at Mount Alto, is provided for those not prepared to enter the four-year course. Senior foresters will spend their last two months at developing a working plan of the State forests in that sec- tion. Speaking of Investments— If more people believed their bank- ers and fewer believed their barbers there would be less trouble over the family savings.—American Magazine. In response to popular demand the Pennsylvania State College has re- organized the two-year course in agri- culture to permit wider choice and broader training. Agronomy, animal husbandry, dairy manufacture, dairy production, flori- culture, ornamental horticulture, fruit growing, vegetable gardening and poul- try will be offered as options when college opens September 25. In an‘ attractive illustrated booklet prepared for prospective student, the college reports that many opportuni- ties await young men and women who complete the two-year course. Among the ositions filled by those who have taken the course in former years many are operating their own farms, others are employed as farm managers, dairy and livestock herdsmen, super- visors of dairy herd improvement as- sqciations, fieldmen for dairy councils and milk companies, hatchery opera- tors, creamery, ice cream and milk plant managers and salesmen for feed and farm machinery concerns. .
