UP-to-date record of every.altiMfius on file. EDITO. Through the , efforts of Dean Jacksopastarthas been made to ward , permanently providing for a doubly felt want in the School of Engineering. So greatly crowded has the 'Engineering Building been during tills college year that almost every room is in constant use, even the - iikirary being pressd into service as a recitation room. This state of affairs.Jeft no place where students 'IHE STATE COLLEGIAN might gather between periods or during vacant hours to read or mingle together socially. This fact, together with the expressed wish of alumni on a visit to their Alma Mater that some place be provided where they might - neet the students of the present day, has led to the setting aside of Room 11, formerly occupied by the Mechanical Museum, as a social parlor. The room has been partly furnished by college but to be of any great serv ice it must be specially equipped for its intended use. With this end in view, Prof. Jackson has ap pealed to a number of engineering graduates for the necessary funds. When enough money has been se cured the room will be dedicated as "The Engineering Alumni and Stu dents Social Parlor." Once fur nished, the room can be maintained by student contributions. To those who realize the pressing need for such a room the project should appeal so strongly that the neces sary funds will be promptly forth coming. A statement sent out from Buck nell University and very widely cir culated by the newspapers of the state a - few days ago referred to the passage of a resolution by the Exe cutive Board of the Bucknell Ath letic Association agreeing to accede to the "request" of the Faculty Committee of the Penna. State Col lege for a resumption of athletic re lations between the two institutions. The Collegian has been assured by the Faculty Committee that it has never "requested" a resumption of athletic relations with Bucknell, al though it has frequently expressed its willingness to do its part toward renewing , such yelations . if ..suita . p le regulations could be Tade,, and, l l:aS for years shown friendliness toward Bucknell. Since the student. bodies .• . - , - .1.-It2i of both Bucknell and State have gone on record as favoring closer re lations and the faculty. committees • ,;,. •: • .c. on both sides are known to hol r d the same attitude, it is only a question -: of time before some definite under standing will be wOrke'd out. Mean while, any talk 9f galmes in .the near future may be considered premature. The recent epidemic _of appendi citis, one case of arhiCh - pro - ;iedldial and another 'very seriou.s, bnngs up once more the question of a college physician. In - many - - Other - r.'institu tions each student is charged a small - - . = "...,-, -- , ..2 fee every year, the Lund thus created being used to employ a competent and experienced PhYsiCian and to maintain a small hospital.. The necessity for students ,in the, z ,las,t, , stage of some acute disease to lay unattended in - their rooms or take long journeys to a hospital. is there by avoided and much suffering pre vented, not to mention loss, of life. The rapid growth. of the , college has greatly increased the chance for illness and some relief from ,preseat t 1 ..C•-t.4 conditions is imperatively demanded. l • ~,• !‘ In view of recent occurrences such action should no longer be delayed.
