The Right Among the customs ot
of Way. Penn State which hate
been upheld in the
past, and which should still main
tain a place in our college life, is
one relating to the right cf way on
the campus walks. As all of the
older men in college know, and as
all new men should know by this
time, precedence is given by every
man to the men of all classes above
his own, and by seniors, as well as
all underclassmen, to members of
the faculty. In the past few weeks
there has been a marked reluctance
on the part of underclassmen, two-
year men, and short course men, to
live up to this rule; and numerous
disputes have been caused by their
refusal to yield the rijht of way.
The question is doubly important
at this time of year because of the
deep snow at the sides of the walks.
It is an inconvenience, of course,for
men in any class to yield the walks
and take to the snow. But when
the men travel in groups from one
building to another there is no oth
er way, possible; and as all rulings
in regard to college customs create
distinctions in favor of upperclass
men it is the duty of underclass
men to afford passage room. First
and second two year men are
ranked as freshmen and sopho
mores, and should act accordingly;
while short course men should fol
low the freshmen in order of pre
cedence. A mere hint, to refresh
our memories in regard to the cus
tom, should be sufficient to stop
further trouble on the walks.
Hospital Benefit.
On March 29 Mr. George C. Wil-
liams will present to the people of
State College one of his interpre
tative recitals, “The Shepherd of
the Hills.” Mr. Williams has had
a wide experience in interpretative
recitals, Shakespearian programs
and Bible readings. The recital is
under the auspices of the Hospital
committee of the Woman’s Club, for
the benefit of the hospital.
The gymnasium work of the wo
men students of the college will be
in charge of Mr. Lewis during this
semester, and will be carried on in
the gymnasium in the Woman's
Building. On account of the lack of
room here, next year probably dur
ing certain hours of certain days,
the armory gymnasium will be
turned over to the young ladies for
their physical education.
Letter From China.
Tl*e following letter has been re
ceived from Mr. F. E. Wilber, Hong
kong, China, rrd will prove of interest
to the students at this college on ac
count of the relation existing between
ihcm and the Y. M. C. A. work in
that country:
“I had t l c good fortune to visit the
Canton Christian College last Satur
day, and I want to write at once to
bark up any efforts that State may oe
making to further the support of that
college. I surely hope that Groff is
planning to return to that college, for
then I suppose there will be no ques
tion but that State will continue to
help on in the work at Canton. But
even should Groff transfer his energies
elsewhere, you will do well to think
twice before you transfer your gifts
elsewhere. Or course, I am suppos
ing that you will continue to give, as
to me it seems as necccsaiy a pait of
Stale’s work to give for foreign work
as it does to e end deputations to Penn
sylvania schools. Also I am suppos
ing that you are not planning some
other work to which you will accord
youi support
* The Carton Christian College im
presses me as being one of ihe most
promising institutions of learning in
.he world I «ay that advisedly. They
ha* e a local on that would be hard
to beat, a splendid site overlooking
inei, plains and distant hills: Can
ton only a few miles away—one of
the biggest c’trs of the world—and
•.he unquestiored business metropolis of
all China They will have little
(rouble m fird!r7 students even when
the government schools begin to offe‘
an adequate education, which will not
be toi some years.
“The Canton trustees have one of
the broaden end lue ; t set of plans you
can imacire, boih for building ard foi
cuiriculum The money that they have
.eccived H-- hc~! r pcnt rot on a large
uurrbci of infeitor buildings to meet
immediate needs (as is so frequently
the case, even in good old Pennsyl
vania) but on splendid concrete, mod
ern halls, built to stand for a century,
arc 1 equipped vwth caiofully chosen
ard fmclv made equipment for teach
ing of all Frds Their physical, me
cl ar’eal ard chemical laboratories ar*
small, but vciy well planned, and well
cquipned foi elementary work.
“And the staff of men that one find*
at the college is an imoressive com
mentary on the carefulness and wis
dom of the busters. Picked men, wel*
adapted for woik, well trained
in our leading universities, and enthusi
astic to a decree.
“I suppo-e that Groff has told you
of the possibilities of development in
agriculture m south China. Not in
intensive cultivation; hard to beat the
Chinse at that: but in extensive work
and more sanitary and cleanly meth
ods If the college should acquire the
land near the river that it hopes to
get, it would make an ideal experiment
station And wouldn’t it be a fine
thing for State to be behind such a
station?
“My own place for work is uncer
tain. At present I am in charge of
the European Y. M. C. A. in Hong
kong, awaiting the arrival of the per
manent secretary in March. After that
time I will proceed somewhere for
further study of the language, tho I
can nothing more definite than some
where. Those victories on the grid
iron caused a large celebration in one
room in Hongkong; so glad the fel
lows got to Penn at last.
“Regards to the men. Believe me,
sincerely your friend and States.
“F. E. Wilber.”
Commencement Speaker.
Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, of
Brooklyn, has accepted the invita
tion to delivtr the Commencement
address here on June 12. Dr.
Hillis is one of the greatest orators
in the country, and the college is
very fortunate in securing him as a
speaker.
The School of Engineering, in co
operation with the State Highway
Department, intends to perform a
series of experiments testing the
strain caused by heavy
passing over earthcovered culvert* 1 ,
and determining what material
should be used in constructing such
culverts.

FOOTBALL SCHEDULE APPROVED
W. and J., Carnegie Tech and Ohio
State Added to Schedule
At a meeting of the Penn State
Athletic Committee held on January
30, the 1912 football card as pre
paied by Manager Kerr was approved.
It will be seen that Colgate, Geneva,
S, Bonaventure, Navy, and Villa
nova have been dropped from the
schedule and the following additions
made:
Washington and Jefferson, Carnegie
Tech, and Ohio State University.
A pleasing feature of the schedule
is the renewing of athletic relations
with Washington and Jefferson Col
lege, and the game with the Red and
Black team will undoubtedly be the
best and most interesting of the home
encourters.
Penn State has met the Washing
ton eleven twice during the past ten
years and was victorious in both games.
Ohio State and Penn State will
meet for the first time in the histories
these two state institutions and the
game bids fair to attract a great deal
of attention in the East and Middle
West. A home game will be arranged
for November 9, but at present noth
ing definite can be said as to who will
be Stale’s opponent on this date.
Princeton' refused to offer State a
date, while games could not be satis
far tcrily arranged with DarthmoutS
and Brown:
Thr scnedule follows:
October 5, Penn State vs. Cranegie
Tech, at State College.
Penn State vs. W. &
J , at State College.
October 19, Penn State vs. Cor
nell, at Ithaca, N. Y.
October 26, Penn State vs. Gettys
brre, at Stale College.
November 2, Pern State vs. Penn,
e. Fhiladflp 1 -*!
November 9, open, at State Col
lege.
November 16, Penn State vs. Ohio
Slite, at Columbus, O.
Not ember 28, Penn State vs. Pitts
burg, at Pittsburg.
WE WONDER
If we are not looking forward
with great interest to the wrestling
meets.
If it is not the duty of each and
every one of us to buy season tick
ets for the interclass basbetball
games.
If, too, directories of the students
in Old Main and in McAllister Hall
would not be highly appreciated.
If every member of the faculty
and every student should not
make an effort to attend the orches
tra concert on Saturday night.
Why we cannot always sing our
Alma Mater with the same spirit as
we sang it on Friday night at the
game.
If, however, we should not try to
get more life into our cheering so
that we shall be prepared for com
ing events.
If we were not extremely for
tunate in having such workers as
Elliott, Wright, Mercer and Mr. and
Mrs. Huston to introduce the Men
and Religion Forward Movement
at Penn State.
How many of us have taken ad
vantage of the many excellent op
portunities offered by this move
ment.
If voluntary contributions at Sun
day chapel exercises will not bring
good results.
If some of us showed perfectly
good spirit toward our wrestlers at
the trials op Saturday afternoon.
