Religious Campaign.
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.
Mont Alto Seniors Entertained.
Saturday, Jan. 20, the faculty of
the Forestry Department of Penn
State had the pleasure of entertain

to Forest Academy. In addition to

tion of Dr. Baker, Prof. Lar
son and Mr. Ross. Lunch was had

al good time enjoyed. As the bob-

Mr. Schoff’s Lecture.
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.
