God give us men ! Men who never shamed their mothers, Men who never fail their brothers, True, however false are others, Give us men, I say again: God give us men ! William Chalmers Colvert It is for the development of true, strong Christian character, and for the greater advancement of men, that the nation-wide Men and Re ligion Forward Movement has been instituted. To college men, in par ticular, as the coming leaders of the nation, the appeal goes forth to take a strong stand for good, and to interest themselves heart-deep in the work of uplift. Penn State in recent years has gained an enviable reputation for her work along moral and religious lines, and during this week we are receiving the oppor- tunity to take our part in a cam paign which is reaching to all parts of the world. Among over twenty men who will visit the college and address our meetings before the week is con cluded, are many prominent work ers from all over the country. Gradu ates fiom our own college, men like “Dad” Elliot and Charles L. Hus- ton —strong, earnest men, all of them, have come to help us do our part in this great work. It is our opportunity. Let us grasp it.to the fullest extent. No excuse should prevent any man of the student body from doing his share. We should all meet together for the spread of the Gospel, for the ad vancement of the nation, and for the building of a greater Penn State. Freshmen As a further step Act on Hazing towards the abol- Question. ishment of hazing, the freshman class, at a recent meeting attended by almost 500 took unanimous action against all indiscriminate hazing, and at the same time put themselves on record as being opposed to all such acts committed against first year men. The plans which the present fresh- man class have under way to accom plish its purpose have not yet been entirely formulated, and only after ratification by the Student Council will they go into effect. It is pro posed to have the rulings go into force next fall so that the present freshmen will not be benefited by tneir own arrangements, but on the other hand, will be responsible for the carrying out of schemes'of their own making when they are sopho mores. The manner in which the freshman class is taking up the hazing question and dealing with it impartially, gaining nothing by it themselves, and depriving them selves of the right to haze indis criminately, shows tl e attitude of their number towards such prac tices. Sophomore features, such as “Poster Night,” etc., will still be observed, but their prime object in view—that of abolishing unneces sary hazing —will be attained if such a thing be possible. Church Dedication Exercises. Rev. William Frazer McDowell, a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church, who is one of the most able and popular speakers at present day student assemblies will be in State College on March 3. On that date Bishop McDowell will dedicate the beautiful Methodist Episcopal church which has been in course of construction for the past two years. The church is being paid for jointly by the congregation of the village and the Methodist Episcopalians of the State. The Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the denomination also have made a very liberal contribution. This building is designed to furnish adequate accommodations and church privileges to students of the denomination and of other churches not represented in the village, while students of all denominations will be welcome at the services. Penn State students will be inter ested to know that a number of pews are being installed by indi viduals, Epworth Leagues and churches of various parts of the state for the use of students from those communities. Also that the Manual Estey pipe organ which is given jointly by Mr. Andrew Car negie and friends of Dr. Gill, is to be a memorial to the beloved chap lain of the college.

On Saturday evening, Jan. 20 Mr. Wilfred H. Schoff, Secretary of the Commercial Museum of Phila delphia, in his lecture on “South American Countries on the Pacific”, gave to his audience both by slide and discourse, the actual conditions prevailing in these somewhat obscure localities. Most persons pride themselves in a certain know ledge of commercial geography, but many of those who heard the lecture will probably concede that their eyts were opened to facts of which they had been ignorant. Mr. Schoff illustrated both the advantages and the disadvantages of location, climate, and environ ments, lo which such countries as Panama, Chili, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia are subjected. His x ariety of slides clearly brought out the points discussed, although their projection was somewhat impaired by dust on the lantern lense —which we respectfully suggest, needs cleaning. We call attention to the fact that during the latter part of the lecture, several people made a very loud and disturbing exit, which to say the least, was not showing courtesy to the lecturer. The lecture was extremely inter esting, and if it was a type of “The Free Lecture Course", we are promised a treat for the future. Wrestling. The preliminary trials in wrest ling for the Cornell contest at Ithaca in February will be held Sat urday afternoon Febuary 3 at 3 o'clock. The first rounds will be held February 6 at 7:30 o’clock and the finals February 8 after the varsity basketball game. The annual football dance will be given in McAllister Hall on the evening of February 12. In years past the dance given by the letter men of Penn State has been one of the social events of the year. This year there will probably be sixty couples in attendance, including all letter men, varsity squad, subs who took the Pittsburgh trip, and “S. W. T.” men. Begin the New Year right. Pay your Y. M.
