Inquries have oftentimes been made as to why there is not an in firmary at State. This is a question which the Collegian is unable to an swer and will not attempt to do so. The fact remains: we need some such place and we need it badly. There is no suitable place to care for under graduates who become seriously ill. They are at present taken to the home of Dr. Robison, where they cannot be cared for as they should be. Other colleges find an infirmary indispensable, but State seems to find it dispensable. This is really a matter that should be given some attention, and not dropped as a pass ing thought. The number of stu dents at State demands that the Trus tees of the institution make some provision for those who fall sick, Let the matter work itself into the thoughts of those who have at heart the interests of the college, and let it bring forth some fruit ! Now that the Thespians have com- THE STATE COLLEGIAN pleted'their trips and are lying back until Commencement, a few words of commendation and encourage ment are in order. This year's pro duction is acknowledged . by compe tent critics to be the best play that has been presented for some years. In view of the fact that the Thespi ans have lately degenerated, State's undergrades hail this regeneration with a feeling of gladness, because the dramatic art should flourish here if it can prosper elsewhere. This year's cast has shown this possibility, and there is no reason why the Com mencement production should not be the best we have yet seen. In the absence of the Pharsonians this year, the Thespians ought to receive better support and it is up to the members of the cast to put on a good show. This is a field that State should develop, and she can do it. Nothing can foster the work better than earnest, whole-hearted application and co-operation to pro duce a play that is worthy of the college. In a word to the alumni, we sug gest that they help along the organi zation, and assist the management in procuring good engagements, where State men can see each other and meet a few of the undergraduates. The Reserves Still Winning. The Reserve nine under Captain Dodge added another victory to its big list by defeating Juniata College at Huntingdon last Satur ay, 12 to 5. McGee was on the slab for the Re serves, and struck out twelve Juniata batsmen, making victory certain from the start. Captain Dodge and his men have now chalked up four victories and no defeats, thus ap pearing the strongest second State team for some time. The whole line up is working together nicely and makes the Varsity hustle at every point. Lock Haven Normal has cancelled, but Manager Morgan will probably secure several other good attractions. COLLEGE NOTES. J. H. Lytle, 'O5, is with old col lege friends for a short time. Elwell Funk, Lehigh 'O5, visited Harry Jacobs of the College last week.

The Freshmen are smoking on the campus, thereby breaking one of our oldest college customs. Cut it out ! Last Thursday evening the- Co tillion Club held its- regular dance in McAllister Hall. It was well at tended and enjoyed by all. The new green leaves and grass form a pleasant addition to the campus. It reminds one of the ap proach of examinations and Com mencement. Dr. H. F. Stecker last week at tended the meeting of the American Mathematical Society held in New York City under the auspices of Columbia University. Out in Portland, Oregon, some fellow searched the Bible from cov er to cover to find justification for the football player. He reported the following as a result : "They rush with one accord.
