THURSDAY, JAN. 12, 1911
THE CAM- It is indeed gratify,
PAIGN ing to note that in the
cause of Christianity,
such men as Elliott, Huston, Pon
tius and others hive given a week
of their praiseworthy work to the
students and residents at State Col
lege• Without any doubt, the many
talks given by these men last week
were the most instructive, forcefu
and eloquent ever known in the
history of Penn State.
A campaign for the ,betterment
and uplifting' of the underlying prin
ciples of untarnished life. Such
was the thethe of these men, and
any college community_ must indeed
deeply feel the wonderful signifi
cance of the teachings of their self
explanatory doctrine. Of para
mount importance is this religious
work in every phase . of
. human life
in the world, and it i; natural that it
must be primarily accepted by the
college grqup where higher educa
tion is the predorginaeng theme.
The campaign, as , a successful
factor in explaining the realization
of the true meaning of the college
man's obligation to society, was far
reaching in its success and was di
vulged so intelligently that but few
doubts linger in the minds of the
Penn State men who heard the
talks. with regard to what the move
ment means.
Every_ topic in the broad area
covered was brought out with such
exactitude that its power was im
pelling. The character of "Dad"
Elliott, who led the campaign is
one that imprints indelibly on the
minds of those who have had the
privilege of hearing him, and the
impressions he left on Penn State
men are wonderful beyond compari
son.
The whole week was one that
meant untold betterment for a
cleaner college and the Penn State
Collegian wishes through its columns
to offer its staunchest support and
co-operation for all movements
similarly praiseworthy.
Prof. Harding Lectures.
On Dec. 14th Prof. L. A. Hard 2
ing gave a talk bef or the Engineers
clubs of Altoona on the Design of
a Blower heating system for factory
and shop buildings. Every feature
of the design was taken up in a
clean logical manner and their ap
plication was illustrated by means
of a heating problem, so that the
subject was thoroughly covered.
The method of testing fans and
calculating the heater and ducts
losses were made clear by means of
a small fair heater and system of
ducts, which had been arranged f,or
the lecture.
GENERAL LEGISLATIVE PLAN
A Brief Outline of the Necessities
of This Institution for the Next
Two Years.
Until the state places the finances
I of its state college on the basis of a
permanent income as has been done
in fifteen states of the Union, the
college must present its cause
biennially to the General Assembly.
Each year the situation becomes
more critical because of the ex
traordinary growth in the number of
students. Two years ago, the Leg
islature provided freely for the
maintenance of the college but gave
no new buildings. Since that time
the number of students has grown
from 1200 to more than 1600. In
order to continue the labor of giv
ing a practical education free of
tuition to this number of boys and
girls of Pennsylvania, ample pro
vision must be made at the coming
session along three lines:
' 1.. A sum for the maintenance
and equipment. Owing to the in
creased numbers this must be con
siderably larger than that granted
two years ago.
2. A new Horticultural building
and an addition to the Engineering
building. 'There are now more than
600 students in Agriculture and over
650 in Engineering; they have out
grown the present quarters; a
Chemistry building and a Mining
building are absolutely indispens
able if the number of students is not
to be limited.
3. The re-allowance of a sum to
meet an old deficiency incurred
through lack of sufficient income.
This was allowed at the last session
of the Legislature but was vetoed for
lack of state funds. The deficiency
has not been increased one dollar
meanwhile except for interest. The
obligation should be discharged and
the interest saved to the state.
Aside from these three items, a
movement is being fostered largely
outside the college to ask a special
appropriation for carrying the
benefits of the college, especially of
the Experiment Stations, directly to
the people of the state through an
Extension department.
The obligation of the state to
carry out its contract with the
Federal Government in supporting
this college is not questioned; the
unique work this college is doing
for the industrial classes of the state
is well known; it remains only to
justify the proposed expenditure
along the above lines. Relying
upon its record, the college solicits
the aid of every friend of higher
education in following up this legis
lative plan.
The Personal Characteristics of an
Engineer.
What are they? An ability to
work; a forgetting of self; intiative,
a clear mind alert to small details as
well as large problems; a clean
heart which does not gamble with
abilities; energy properly harnessed
and applied; these with many oth
ers, are the characteristics which
make successful engineers. Mr. C.
L. Huston, Vice President and Man
ager of the Lukens Iron Co., of
Coatesville, Pa., is an engineer who
lives and works according to these
principles. His talk on Saturday
morning before the engineers in the
old chapel on the above subject was
too good to miss and was highly
appreciated by those who were for
tunate enough to be there, Mr.
Huston stated that never in the
history of the world were there such
great opportunities for achievement
open to the engineer as at present.
Harrisburg Club Smoker.
An informal smoker and business
meeting of the Harrisburg club will
be held in Engineering building at
630 p. m on Friday evening Jan.
13th. All members are earnestly
requested to be present,

the Rescue apparatus, and of meth
ods of fiat aid work, to the students
of the School of Mines and other
interested persons.
In the evening public lectures,ard
demonstrations were given • in the
Au litorium by Mr. Enzian and his

Seniors Lose to the Juniors.
The second game of the interclass
series prior to vacation was won by
the Juniors 19-17. The battle was
close throughout; the final score be
ing in doubt until Alkens
, hot a
goal in the last minute of play de
ciding the game in favor of the
Juniors. The Seniors really should
have won the game for they had
many chances to score both from
the floor 'and on fouls. The
feature of the game was the work
of O'Neill who succeeded in getting
six goals from the floor. Armsby
'ald James also put up a good game.
