THE CAMPAIGN WORK
Y. N. C. A. Campaign dfas Eulelons
Mkt on Studepis.
"DAD" ELLIOTT IS GREAT LEADER
Auditorium Crowded Every night
Throughout the Week By Men
Anxious to Hear the Teachings of
This Strong Character. Colley e
Already Feels Influence His Spirit
Has Left Here.
At no time in the history of thi
institution was these a mote wide
spread interest taken in a Y M C
A. campaign as was made manifeq
last week by the aid\ al of "Dad"
Elliott and his strong cohort of ic
ligious workers. The sputtual and
moral uplift of the student body
that would naturally follow such a
mostement cannot be bate' exem
plified than by the sincere religious
atmosphere that has been petvachng
the college since the start of the
campaign and which no doubt will
leave its influence for some yea'is to
come.
The work of "Dad': Elliott. the
former football star of Northwestern
University, in giving the campaign
the impetus that it has received. is
worthy of not a little piaises. Many
have failed where "Dad" has suc
ceeded. The _influence alone tnat
he wields can be readily seen by the
numbers he is able to bring out af
ter they once heard him. At 'every
meeting held in the Auditorium 'ful
ly twelve hundred students in-, col
lege were on hand to listen to the
messages that this man of marvelous
personality had to bung to them.
Straight from the shoulder, he never
faltered in expressing his beliefs On
subjects that confront the young
man, especially the college man, in
every day walks of life. Only men
who have had wide experiences in
the world and who know men, aie
capable of dealing with affairs of
such import that require the careful
consideration of the men who wish
down in their hearts to lead a better
Christian life. Ever ready to make
clear any doubtful question that
might enter the mind, of to give ad
vice to those who so desire it is the
willingness with which this bi oad
minded man of strong character
helps his fellow men.
Some of the subjects that "Dad"
lectured on during the campaign
and which were 'forcibly brought
home were, "Men of Chaiactet,"
"College Quittcis," "Some Facts
College Men Must Face," "The
Three Fundamental Reasons Why
lam a Christian," and '"lhe Pace
that Wins."
- J W. Pontius and R. S. Shade
who were here to assist in giving
personal interviews to men, brought
many to the realization of the fact
that they were not livin 2 - a steady,
satisfactory life. The entue time of
Elliott, Pontius, and Shade, together
with Jos E Platt, Di. Hutchins of
Oberlin, Rev. Scl-aeffer, Mr. and
Mrs. Huston of Coatesville, N. 'CI
Oliver, and W. Coe.leting of
l3ucknell University was taken up
by this work. Many availed
themselves of the opportunity
were well rewarded
In addition to the icgulai e‘ening
meeting led by "Dad" ' hal ott, vai -
ious group arid ptayet m - ctinL.'s were
held thuoughoat the town and col
lege so that all could cleme Some
benefit horn the campaign. The
untiring efforts of Secretary Frank
Buchman and his assistants "Tom"
nollet and Buck in making this
campaign a success show the ster
hng woith of these men in this form
ol college activity which is an ab
solute necessity for the advance
me rt of the college and its students.
cnti.e campaign committee con
sisting of many business men and
students did wonderfully well in
sot nding the men together and in
advertising the meetings.
Thls campaign that has only be
gu will continue for some time un
der the direction-of the local Y. M.•
C. A The prayer meetings held
du mg_ the week have been an in
centive foi the men to continue in the
goad cause actively, so that higher
things may be expected of them in
the future and that they may strive
foi helm and nobler icl6.als to the
be.,t of then abil.ty.
Glee and Mandolin Clubs.
Under the iebrganization and
combination of the Glee and Man
dolin clubs of- Penn State college,
the following men have been elected
to office. TiCasuier, W. Cottrell,
faculty, manage!, James Clack 1911,
Asst. manager:, Ghcen, 1912, and
Duncan, 1912
Glee club leadei, Alex Giay.
Mandolin club leader, Westerman
Mr. Clack has secured the set vices
of a professional , leaclei to duect
both the Glee , and the Mandolin
clubs. Mr. James Gibbs has con
sented to coach foi the remainder
of the year, at a sacrifice to his own
work, on account of the meat po's
siblities for a good club. He held
trials here eatlier in the year and
was delighted with the quality of
the voices, and the possibilities fat
a good club.
A trip has been partly arranged,
and will be taken about April Ist.
after the concert at College.
Thcic is not the least doubt in
the minds of all Penn State men
but that we could have as good
a club as Princeton of other col
leges, which have the same number
of students.
There is no doub., that in the
past years our musical clues have
been fat below that standard.
The manvement is advancing no
small amount of money to establish
the clubs on a better basis, and the
