    Beaver Field.
It is with pained surprise that our
Alumni noted in a recent issue of
The Collegian that no decision has
as yet been reached as to whether
or not State's splendid new ath
letic field is to be called Beaver
Field. Throughout all the history
of our College, two magnificent men
stand pre-eminent as leading spirits
and guides for the scores of stout
hearts that have wrought for the
welfare of Old State, Dr. Atherton
and General Beaver!
For two decades the men who
have carried our College colors to
victory have loved the name of
Beaver field, and today, the mention
of the name brings to the mind of
every Penn State man—alumnus or
undergraduate—the heroic figure of
our good old General, a friend to
every son of State. To think of
such a friend as he, is an inspira
tion to higher, better things.
Let us by all means commemor
ate the life long work of Dr. Ather
ton is some fitting manner; likewise
let us not forget General Beaver by
permitting any change in the name
of our athletic field. It will truly
be a great field, and worthy of a
great name, and no name is worthier,
more honored, more respected, and
more beloved, than that borne by
General James A. Beaver.
The Collegian suggests that the
names East Field and West Field
may be applied to the new fields.
Of what significance are such
names as these? And to come
squarely to the point, why is any
change of name suggested at all?
Surely State's alumni and under
graduate; should have some voice
in the naming of their athletic field,
and if this question were put to vote
in the student body and among the
alumni, the good old name of Beaver
Field will unanimously be preserved.
