EDITORIAL.
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.
