Class of 1888

Upon his return to Pennsylvania State College from his sabbatical year, spent as visiting lecturer at the University of Illinois, and in order to mark the thirtieth anniversary of his connection with the College, Dr. Fred Lewis Pattee was given, on September 27, the unexampled honor of a testimonial dinner by his colleagues upon the faculty. The Perm StateCollegian upon this occasion spoke of Professor Pattee as "the man who has probably had more to do with the cultural training of Penn State than any other individual for the past thirty years."

The only soil of Dr. H. R. Watkins, Eustace

Virgil, died a heroic death on September 14 at Monterey, Cal. He was a first-class private in the U. S. Field Artillery. When a crude oil tank had been struck by lightning, young Watkins volunteered to man a fire hose against an adjoining tank. The tank exploded and Watkins perished. His career had already won the encomiums of his superior officers, who had commended him for entrance to West Point.
