Mr. W o o l l c o t t will give " E n c h a n t e d

the modern theater. T h i s review, in
book form, has been described by
G. P. Putnam and Sons, the publishes, as a " book about the stage and its
varied associations, its gossip, and its
ureal figures. A love for the theater
and a love of good living and lively
'rieuds colors every page." A l e x a n d e r
Woollcott is also a u t h o r of m a n y

this country, England, and France,
and has m a n y friends a m o n g the principal d r a m a t i c a u t h o r s and

Upon his verdict
the fate of m a n y a new play depends.

ATHLETICS AT STATE
Dr. Ferry's interesting lecture, deliverer! in Assembly last week, made
it apparent to those who were in
doubt that scholarship, and not
athletics or social events, should hold
the lirst place in college life. The lecture, seasoned with jests and personal
anecdotes, contained many philosophical generalizations drawn by a man
whose actual life-experiences had furnished data, Albany High School,
State College, and Milne High School
were all fort una ta enough to bear Dr.
Ferry, and many attended both lectures delivered in the auditorium.
Hitherto State College has had a
tendency to imder-estimate athletics,
rather than over-estimate them, as Dr.
Ferry implied was the case in many
colleges. Possibly this under-estimate
was due to a realization of our own
inferiority along the athletic line.
However, this year, under Coach
Baker's skillful management, the basketball team has won numerous home
victories, with its last game, played
Saturday night, as no exception. The
team has been rewarded by a dinner
given by the coach, as a result of Saturday night's victory Such loyalty and
labor on the part of the coach and the
team should certainly be appreciated
by the college at large. A baseball
season will open in the spring. It
should be our pleasure, and it certainly
is our duty, to lie on band at every
baseball game to cheer the team. In
this way at least we cm show our
appreciation of the successful winter
athletic season.
CANTERBURY CLUB NEWS
The candy sale held recently by
Canterbury Club netted them a profit
of about seven dollars.
The Canterbury Club will hold
communion at St. Andrew's next
Sunday.
Miss Martha Billiard of New
Jersey, will address the club March

LENTEN SEASON
Ash Wednesday, February 25, began the Lenten season, the period of
forty days before Easter which commemorates the trial, conviction, and
crucifixion of Christ. Observance of
the period is practiced to a greater or
lesser degree throughout all Christian
countries, and at no previous lime has
it been more universal than it is now.
Each individual directs for himself his
form of devotion and praise, It may
be a more frequent and regular church
attendance, or abstinence from customary indulgence. What are the
effects of such observance? Earnest
thought of the meaning of the Lenten
season makes more evident real unify
of all denominations of the Christian
religion. Among the tangible results
—a higher standard of citizenship
may be listed. Citizenship, like all
moral and spiritual qualities, begins
with the individual. The moral status
of a city depends upon those qualities, moral and spiritual, of ils citizens; thus the influence of the individual is effective to a far greater
scope, state, nation, and the world.
A united people aroused by the direction of ils hearts eradicates existing wrong when sponsored by serious
thought. This period of increased religious activity cannot but have a
beneficial Influence on the siudehl
body of any college.

EARTHQUAKES AND EXAMS
Earthquakes produce a peculiar reaction hi all who experience them.
A feeling of fear, uncertain expectancy, and dread floods the heart. A
bewildering surge of emotion is experienced. Did you ever think how
much an earthquake is like an examination? We have passed through
both of these experiences recently.
To those who were not prepared', each
seemed a calamity. These fears and
forebodings are mere shadowy forms
which have now sunk to oblivion.
We should always be prepared for
earthquakes and—examinations. Let
us not wait until the opportunity for
study is passed and our examinations
are upon us. Each morning let us
arise with the thought that we are to
pass through a skirmish. Let us arm
ourselves with a shield of determination through which no dart of discouragement can enter, and let our
keen swords of application and study
pierce every lesson, so that when the
day is done we may rest in the assurance of a victory won, and a large
step taken in the direction of winning the battle of Education. With
this altitude in our daily li.'e we need
no longer fear examinations.
We
will be prepared.

I S C O N S I N U, long in (he forefront of slate educational iuslilutions and now in search of a new president, is being slowly starved to death by
the state authorities who control its
purse strings, according to charges of
some of its faculty. Meanwhile the
Wisconsin legislature is appropriating
millions for disposing of tubercular cows
and for other purposes which the
scholastics see as far less important than
maintenance of the big state Institution
for the education of its youth. Something like a parallel to this may he found
in New York State. As I'resident I'.ru
bacher showed in his annual report, the
state spends five and one-half times a..
much money to educate a student of vet
erinary medicine as a school teacher,
and three and one-half times as nui.h
to train a forestry student as a student
of education.
Preceding
legislatures
have been niggardly in their appropriations and near-sighted in their conception of the college's actual needs. To
the present legislature the question is
