THURSDAY, MAR. 21, 1912
The men in college
“Froth” and more especially
those in the lower classes
are not giving “Froth” the support
it deserves. From any standpoint
adopted there seems to be no good
reason why our support is withheld.
Assuming merely a financial view of
the matter, one must admit that the
magazine is worth the price. Be
cause of its humorous attitude in re
gard to the funny things in college
life, and its witty portrayal of Penn
State doings in particular, “Froth”
can well hold its own with similar
publications in general, and with
those of other colleges. The aigu
ment for the support of one’s col
lege publications from the stand-
point of college spirit and college
duty is an old one, but nevertheless
just as sound and applicable as
ever. The Froth Board is contin
ually handicapped by a lack of
funds, and assert that proper sup
port would enable [them to improve
the paper greatly.
In regard to the issue which re-
cently appeared, sentiment has ap
proved it and placed it upon a
plane equal to that of the preced
ing copies. In a large measure we
concur in this opinion and extend
congratulation and praise to the
board for work well done. But we
feel that in the use of the frontis
piece, “Froth” has possibly over
stepped slightly the niceties of col-
lege convention. On no account
should the paper use its influence to
ridicule any worthy college affair,
and the impression given by the
page mentioned tends, in our
opinion, to that effect. Its use may
not have been intended to produce
that result, and was probably the
fruit of thoughtlessness. But in a
publication of the nature of "Froth"
great care must, always be main
tained in order to prevent “knock
ing” and undeserved ridicule. We
hope that our brother editois will
see our view of the matter, and will
use the “hammer" always with
thoughtful swing.
It is then, the work of every man
in college which alone can make
our college “funny paper” a com
plete success. Solid support and
healthy criticism in plenty, and the
Forth Board will do the rest. We
have no doubt of their ability to
show Penn State, under those con
ditions, the best magazine of its
kind that is printed in any institu
tion.
Baseball The baseball sched-
Schedules. ules which are being
distributed at the Tog
gery shop are in a very neat and
useful form. The management of
the store deserves commendation
for supplying us with a schedule
card so convenient and complete.
Letter From Dr. Sparks.
The following letter from Presi
dent Sparks was mailed at Gibralta,
March 2nd:
On board R. M. S, “Adriatic”
February 21, 1912
We are in the staterooms which
are to be our homes for the next
three weeks and find that good
friends have remembered us in lav
ish kindness. The rooms look like
a fruit store, a confectioner’s and a
green house, with a bookstore as a
side line. I have long wanted to lie
on a bed of roses; now with the first
rough sea, I bid fair to see my
dream realized. When the mail
clerk handed us a bundle of mail
that would have done credit to the
average daily receipts of the Agri
cultural Experiment Station, he re
marked “Well, you people must
have plenty of friends”. That is
true and loyal ones, too, to bid us
“God-speed” in a steamer letter.
It is impossible to thank individ
ually, trustees, students, fraternities,
Bible classes, and friends who so
kindly remembered our sailing day;
but we appreciate most heartily
their thoughtfulness. We shall
see many • interesting sights
but none more dear to remem
brance than the thousand and
more loyal fellows assembled at
the college gates to give a farewell
cheer to the departing ones. We
shall hear all kinds of music but none
more acceptable than the “Alma
Mater” sung by those fellows as
sembled. This is the view, and
this the sound which lingers in
memory as I write.
Here’s a cheer for thee,Penn State,
The bugle is sounding, the cry
“Visitors ashore" is heard, the
great whistle blows, the gangways
are hauled ashore, the tugs begin to
chug under the stem, and we are off
for the many thousand miles of
water we shall traverse during the
next three weeks. I hope to send
in this message from Sandy Hook.
Our bodies are here; our thoughts
remain behind.
School of Mines Extension Work.

eral years, The School of Mines is

lecture tour has been arranged
covering the principal mining cen
ters in Western Pennsylvania, and
beginning on Monday March 25.

in Mines”. Dean Crane has prepar
ed quite an interesting series of
mechanical slides for illustrating the
lectures.

lecture tour from Monday March
25 until Saturday April 6 and will
probably speak at: —
Greensburg, Irwin, Ellsworth,
Brownsville, Uniontown, Scottdale,
Calumet, Ernest, Punxsutawney>
South Fork, and Portage.
