-Freshmen in Ever since their
Mass Meeting. institution by
President Sparks,
the Wednesday morning mass meet-
ings have served a very important
purpose. No other gatherings
have been so successful in bringing
together the faculty, the classes and
the student organizations in a place
where discussions may be held or
announcements made. To upper
classmen, no plea is needed for at-
lendance at mass meetings; but
there seems to be some misunder-
standing about the matter among
the freshmen. What if it does mean
voluntary attendance on one day
when a cut may be taken? You will
find it worth more, men of 1915,
than the time it takes to attend. It
is the best opportunity' that you
have to become thoroughly acquain
ted with all the student activities,and
with the undertakings of college or
ganizations. Brace up, freshmen,
and make an effort to be present at
every Wednesday morning mass
meeting for the rest of the year.
You are needed, and you need the
meetings.
A Talk on China
On Nov. 21st a joint meeting of
the Cosmopolitan and Civic Clubs
was held in room 114 Main. Tien
Yuen Chang gave an interesting talk
on student life in China. This was
followed by a very instructive lec
ture by Mr. Groff, the State College
representative at Canton Christian
College. The cause of the present
revolution and its probable effect
upon the Chinese people was briefly
discussed. It is to be hoped that
before Mr. Grorf retefns to China,
he may give us a public talk about
the country he knows so well and
about which we know so little.
An important meeting of the Cos
mopolitan Club is to be held Thurs
day evening at 7.30 in room 226
Main. All members are urged to be
present.
Mr. T. C. Pease of the Depart
ment of History and Political
Science is the author of an elabor
ate report, of nearly a hundred
pages, on the Historical Archives
of the State of Illinois, prepared
under the supervision of Professor
Alvord of the University of
Illinois, and appearing in the re
cently issued annual report of the
American Historical Association.
St. Margaret's Guild has the

Pennsylvania State College Itlisi
sion to China
During the recent visits to the
college of Mr. G. W. Groff, Penn
State's representative to China,
several conferences of students
and members of the faculty were
held to consider the desirability of
organizing at this institution a mis
sion to China, to be represented in
the field by Mr. Groff and others
that might be chosen by the direct
ing committee. The final con
ference met in the President's office.
Dr. Sparks presLling, and the meet
ing was well represented by stu
dents, members of the ;acuity,
Young Men's Christian Association
and the Agricultural Society. It
was decided at this conference that
such a mission is highly desirable,
and the general plan of organization
suggested by Mr. Groff was endors
ed and a meeting was called of the
Directing Committee. This com
mittee met November 24, elected
officers and appointed a committee
on organization. The Directing
Committee is composed of the fol
lowing members: Professors A. H.

the faculty of the School of Agri
cultur•; and Frank N. D. Buchman
representing the Young Men's
Christian Association.
The second meeting of the
Directing Committee, held Nov
ember 24, adopted a plan of 01-
ganization and by-laws. This pro
vides that "The object of the Asso
ciation shall be to promote the
growth of Christian character, help
ful fellowship, and aggressive
Christian work among the Chinese
through the medium of agricultural
investigation, education and practice;
to catty on in China, in the field of
horticulture, invcstigat.on that shall
lead to a better understanding of
Chinese Methods of gardening, and
a fuller knowledge of the varieties
of plants that ale grown by the
Chinese; to assist the Canton Chris
tian College in the work of agri
cultural education among the
Chinese; to establish nurseries and
gardens in which to collect and
propagate the best plant types,
both for distribution among the
Chinese and in order to aid the
work of Foreign Exploration; and
to cooperate with other forces at
work for the speedy Christian and
agricultural development of Chine."
The plan of organization also
provides for the following commit
tees in addition to the Directing
Committee: An Executive Com
mittee, Publicity-Finance Commit
tee, Field-work Committee, besides
an Advisory Boatcl of not less than
seven members.
The plan of organization further
states that "The relationship exist
ing between the Trustees of the
Canton Christian College and the
Directing Committee of the Penn
sylvania State College Mission to
China shall be one of mutual help
fulness and cooperation in the field
of agriculture.
The duties of the Representatives
on the Field, their relation to the
general faculty at the Canton Chris
tian College; the expenditure and
handling of all funds, and the own
ership of property shall be covered
in a written agreement between the
Directing Committee and the Board
of Trustees, signed by the President
and by the Secretary of both
bodies."
The officers of the Mission are Prof.
A. H. Espenshade, chairman; L.
H. Dennis, vice-chairman; and Prof.
L. R. Watts. secretary and treasurer.
The Sunday chapel speaker will

"The Hewer"
In connection with the model of
George Gray Barnard's "Hewer"
which stands in the lobby of
the Auditorium, the following
note may be of interest. It
is taken from an article on "Ameri
can Sculptois and Their Work", by
J. Nilson Laurvilc, author of "Criti
cal Essays on Contemporary Ameri
can Artists".
"Like all great mystics,
Barnard is naive in his way of look
ing at and interpreting life, and
something of his intent remains im
plied lather than e:quessod. Ilis
"Hewer" is no everyday stone-cut
ter measuring the number of his
blows, but a man all-absorb
ed with a tigerlike intentness on
shaping to his will the matter in his
hand—he is the blazer of trails, the
symbol of the first man who has
adventured into unknown paths, the
Columbus of the world. He typ
if,es the stone age of every epoch
in man's conquest of the forces of
the universe, which yield with a
hard, flint-like stubbotness to the
human intellect to wrest somewhat
of as p67l7er, to penetrate into its
mystery, Thus on the frontier of
et ery discovery, and marking every
advancing step in the slow march
of progress, you will find the marks
of the hewer. He is a universal
tiguie, bilorging to no land or
A Plea For Hockey
The following communication has
been recek ecl in regard to the ques
tion of a Lockey team.—
Penn St te in a few years, will
undoubtedly take its place among
the Lig universities.
The surest way to lead up to that
is to compete with them in other
branches of sport as well as base
ball and football. There is a much
greater chance of defeating them in
minor sports than in major . accl un
doubtedly there arc many men here
who ale gocd hockey players.
Almost every high school and
prep school has a hockey team and
it seems strange that with all the
spirit here we do not have more
minor sports. Hockey especially
is one of the most exciting, ex.
hilarating and healthful games in
existence. It would be the sim
plest thing in the world, when the
ground gets frozen, to flood the
tennis courts back of the Armory
or the field there and by charging a
few cents for those who wish to
skate on it, it would pay for the
trouble and bring a considerable
revenue into the treasury of the A.
A. or whoever managed the under
taking.
When you consider the good ma
terial here and the value of a game
like hockey it seems a sharee that
Penn State should be one of the
few colleges that do not have
hockey teams, and that this is
owing merely to lack of initiative.
If Penn State spirit hasn't de
generated the student body will
back the idea even if they all do
not skate.
