Is it Worth While ?
To make a crib for the examina
tion is surrendering to a sneaking,
cowardly or crooked thought of
one’s self; when self confidence and
steadiness are needed. It is a
mental crutch which makes a moral
cripple. If used it is dangerous.
If not used it is damning. It is to
class one’s self with the negligent
and stupid instead of the true and
self reliant. If discovered it brings
immeasurable disappointment and
suffering at home. It is a great
evil at State College, and a personal
victory over the inclination will De a
victory for the college, and a
pleasant recollection and inspiration
after graduation. Purity, honesty,
unselfishness, and love require that
no aid be either given or received.
Charles Dickens says, “There is
nothing so strong and safe in the
emergencies of life as the simple
truth”.
Eagles Mere.
The summer conference ac Ea
gles Mere in June will afford a ten
days consideration of some life
problems and will in addition fur
nish a good vacation for college
men after examination time- These
conferences are nicely balanced and
the whole afternoon is given to re
creation. The Intercollegiate stunt
day is one of the most unique
things in American college life.
For those who feel that they cannot
meet-the expenses which are $lB.OO
exclusive of car fare, there is op
portunity for self help at the Con
ference by waiting on tables, and
assisting in the administration.
There is a Conference Loan Fund
from which any student is at liberty
to loan money and which is to be
paid back at the convenience of the
borrower. Chairman L. P. Lindsay
will furnish particulars.
The students by observing a few
of the following precautions would
be of great assistance to the Land
scape Gardening Department, which
is trying to prepare the campus for
Commencement Week :
Don’t throw papers out of the
dormitory windows.
Don’t throw papers on the cam
pus. Don’t throw tobacco cans or
refuse of any kind on the campus.
Don’t cut across the grass, keep
on the walks.
Don’t neglect the campus in any
.way whatsoever, but do your share
in maintaining the pride of Penn
The Junior Prom.
Trial programs and invitations can
be secured from E. R. Stewart for
the Junior Prom after today. Be
cause of the fact that the drawing
for booths will take place on the
Armory floor Saturday evening at
7:30, all crowds .not having made
application for booths should do so
at once. The exact number of
couples that can be guaranteed is
desired. Ample space will be
reserved for those not connected
with any organized crowds. Re
member that your representative
should be at the Armory, Saturday
evening, 7:30.
Alumni Entertained,
Mr. W. F. Strouse 'B7 entertained
eight Penn State alumni and their
wives and friends at his home in
Baltimore, May 17.
Why Not
Investigate the merits of that great Western company, the
Royal Union Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Des Moines,
lowa ? Investigation will show, you that the security given to
the policy-holders is unexcelled, and the attractive rate of in
terest secured on the investments, made exclusively in the
West, is a guarantee of good dividends. Investigate and make
money. No trouble to show specimen policies, no importunity.
College Boys, Attention!
Young men often say to me, “What good will a life insurance
policy do me if I die ?”. Bless your heart, tell me of anything that will
do you any good if you die. But it will do others good. It will help
to reimburse that mother or father, if you die, who scratched and saved
to put you through college. And if you live and keep up tne pay
ments to maturity, I can tell you of policies that will not only piotect
those you love or to whom you may be indebted for funds to complete
your course, but will pay you back personally at maturity all you put in
or more. Do you know that after you have paid one full annual prem
ium in my company, should you become totally and permanently dis
abled and unable to earn money, your policy will become a jully paid
policy for the face of it ? The latest wrinkle in life insurance. Let me
tell you about this —also many other things that will surely interest
you—and make you money.
INew/ York Life Ins. Co.
WE WONDER.
If we are not badly in need of
several more tennis courts.
Whether all the seniors attend
Sunday chapel exercises.
If we ought not stand during the
rendition of our national anthem at
concerts as well as at other
occasions.
Whether the band is not highly
appreciated at ball games by all of
us.
Whether track is a joke at Penn
State this spring, as has been
claimed in years past.
