State Coil Vol. IV, No 1 1 Basketball. Penn State opened her basketball season last Saturday evening by de feating Wyoming Seminary by the score of 40 to 11. Although Capt. 'Dußarry and his men clearly out played their opponents, lack of ef fective team work was very much in evidence in the White and Blue five. The visitors were not as strong as in former years but they played with plenty of fight and pluck. "Jim my" Funston led his teammates with his neat floor work and shot some pretty goals.

Lowrie, of New York City, who prepared the outline for the development of the college campus, has been re ceived. It is a beautiful, small quarto pamphet, with lithographs of the outline of the plan, a topograph ical map and a fine colored perspec tive, together with cuts of the library and engineering buildings as they are to be and a glimpse or two of campus views. The letter press is a fine specimen of printing and gives a detailed description of the plan of the campus and of future develop ment along the lines projected. This work was done, with the consent of the Board of Trustees, under the general direction and at the expense of James Lyon Hamill, Esq., of the class of 'BO, who is al so a member of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Hamill's . benefac tions to the college have been numerous and of a practical sort. He has never done anything, how ever, which will be productive of better results than this most im portant and interesting work which has just been completed. The general plan having been adopted by the Board of Trustees, is being already put into execution, by the grading and preparation of the new athletic grounds. Some of the temporary buildings, now in course of erection, and those which are contemplated have been planned so as not to interfere in any way with the permanent structures which are to follow. The plan, as will be noticed, in cludes a great recitation hall upon the site of the present botanical building, which will be in keeping Price Five Cents
