1895-] In order to raise the standard of a journal in a technical insti tution like ours, where the curriculum is arranged so as to require a maximum amount of work from the average student, the editors should be given credit for editorial work. The college curriculum provides a course in English, and it is from this that the editor can best afford to make his subtraction. The editor strives to make the college worthily represented through its student organ, and in view of this, is it anything more than right to ask the faculty to allow time spent in this effort to count for a certain number of hours of required work ? Decidedly, No ! Boston University allows the editor-in-chief to count for seven hours of his course per week and that of his assistant for two hours. There are many reasons why the faculty of State College should adopt this excellent plan. Every right-minded student will agree that he should pay up the small assessment recently levied on the members by the Ath letic Association. He will further agree that at such a season as this, “ when time is money ” with the association, he should not wait to be coaxed for it, but rather hunt up the manager and pay him cheerfully. Beyond a doubt you have more time than he. State students are not peculiar in this, but a little consideration for the collectors would save them much annoyance and valuable time. In an excellent article on this subject the F. and M. College Student says: ‘ ‘ Every college wishes to maintain its standing in athletics with other colleges, but in these days it is folly to sup pose that the athletic department can support itself. The financial assistance is necessary.” Let us all respond promptly, so that the big meet may not be hahdicapped by lack of ready funds now. It is not a question of willingness, but of promptness, with us. Exceedingly gratifying were the reports of the excellent treatment and hearty good-will shown our ball team in their recent game with Lehigh at Bethlehem. After some years of sep aration, with more or less dissatisfaction on both sides, it speaks well for Lehigh's hospitality to thus receive us, and we hope we may show our appreciation by giving her as hearty a welcome to State at some future time. In most unfavorable contrast to Lehigh’s sportsmanlike reception was Lafayette’s decidedly ungeutlemanly Editorial.
