EDITORIAL.
The Collegian extends hearty
greetings "to our new President. We
Velieve that a college without a chief
executive is like a ship without a
rudder. The wonderful work
ac
complished by President Atherton
can only be appreciated fully when
it has been viewed through the vista
of years. Beginning as he did with
practically no equipment or means
at his disposal, and against almost
ih'urrnountable difficulties, he laid
Elie safe foundations for an institu
tion of learning in whose future we
lia've absolute faith
- When President Atherton was
called from us, only one man seemed
fitted at that time to carry- on the
work so well begun. General
IHE STATE COLLEGIAN
Beaver, at a great sacrifice, gave his
time and his energy to the advance
ment of the interests of the College.
President Sparks comes to us with
the ideals and the enthusiasm of a
young man, and , ith great possi
bilities before him in the develop
ment of this young institution. To
him as our President we wish to
pledge our support and the support
or every loyal State man. The co
operation of every student is essen
tial in the upbuilding of our College.
Every man can help so energetically
that he will have no time to waste in
unnecessary criticism or fault find
ing. Our President has able and
competent assistants, but no number
of assistants can do for him and for
the College just what the stuaent
body can do. As loyal sons of
Pennsylvania State, therefore, let us
work in harmony for the future of
our College, and for the advance
ment of her interests.
A most commendable custom has
been inaugurated by the President's
office, that of sending to The Col
legian, immediately after each meet
ing of the Council of Administration,
a brief of the transactions of that
body in as far as they concern the
faculty or the students. The object
of this plan is to furnish to the
members of our college community
an accurate report of the work of
the Council as it affects our common
welfare.
On Saturday there is scheduled a
game with Bucknell which should
prove to be one of the most interest
ing of the season. Three weeks ago
Bucknell appeared 1,0 strong on
Beaver Field, prepared to cheer
their team on to victory, We can
show our loyalty to our baseball
and tennis teams in no better way
than by accompanying them on
Saturday. Not only wi:l we see a
stirring contest, but we will be af
forded the opportunity to associate
with )they college men.
Everybody out for Bucknell!
The New Engineering Publication.
Within the next week the new
publication "The Engineer" is ex
pected from the printers. This is a
90 page illustrated engineering jour
nal, touching on matters of interest
to students, to graduates, and to
practicing engineers. The first issue
of the new publication has a three
fold object: first, to give to out
siders who are not familiar with
what is being done in the school, a
fair notion of some of the facilities
at hand and of the development of
the work; second, to print some
papers of the students' showing"-in
vestigations now tinder Wii;;" - iiid
third, by means of carefully gathered
facts and by technical papers, to
give evidence that the training in
this College is worthy - cif 'wider
recognition' than it has received 'in
Pennsylvania. It 'will be under
stood, therefore, that the central
aim of this issue is - to' giVe a' - brdad
ccnception of the work and aim of
the School of Engineering.
Copies will be sent td alumni, to
prospective studentg,' and' tO ''prorri
inent engineers. Each student'-of
the School of Engineering can ob
tain a copy upon application to the
business manager, K. H. Marsh,
'O9. Additional copies can be ob
tained for 25 cents each, the regular
price being 50 cents. .
