to recently issued state-
Advertize ments by which ap-
parently the rai
road company's idea was to an
tagonize the feeling between the
faculty and the student body and
by doing so increase the number of
persons taking advantage of their
special train service. The student
body appreciates the fact that
special trains were run between
semesters, but the attack on the
faculty is regarded as a joke as the
total stock owned in the Transporta
tion Company by all the faculty
members is less than 10 per cent.
Professor C. R. Orton
Professor C. R. Orton, a graduate
of Vermont University in 1909, has
taken charge of the Botany Depart
ment to succeed the late Dr. W. A.
Buckhout. Professor Orton has
had experience with the Department
of Agriculture of the United States
Government and the state experi
ment stations of• Vermont and Indi
ana.
Prof. Orton has made Plant Path
ology his special study and along
that line of work will devote himself
both in the classroom and' iri the
Experiment Station. He is also an
authority of note on forest diseases.
Prof. Orton has had a wide and
varied experience, and this coupled
with the zeal and enthusiasm that
he shows for his work, stamps him
as a man who will doubtless add
strength to our Botany Department.
Resolutions of Condolence
Whereas, it has pleased God in
His infinite wisdom to call from
this life the father of our classmate
Lawrence H. Smith, be it resolved
that we, the class of 1915 of The
Pennsylvania State College, extend
our deepest sympathy to our class
mate and his relatives in their be
reavement.
Furthermore, let it be resolved
that these resolutions be entered
upon the minutes of the class and
published in the Penn State Col
legian.
And furthermore, let it be resolv
ed that a letter of condolence be
sent to the family.

Y. M. C. A. SERVICE
CAMPAIGN BEGINS
Some of the Most Noted Reformers
of the Country Here—Meetings
Are Well Attended by the Stu
dents—" Service" Means to You
What ?
The social service campaign
which was so ably begun by Frank
Higgens, Jane Addams, and Clifford
Roe, has now reached the acme of
activity. During the first part of
this week many men of distinction
entered State College, bent upon
delivering a message to the college
man. No college man today can
give any reasonable excuse for ig
norance on the great social, civic
and political problems which come
before us. This is especially true
of a Penn State man who is gener
ally favored by coming into touch
with men and women who are the
leaders of these movements. The
coming of these men is an event of
importance to him, and no right
thinking college man can lightly re
gard their message. Every student
also has an opportunity of talking
with these men in person and he
owes it to himself to take advan
tage of the privilege of talking
about the things that are most
worth while. For six hours each
day during the service campaign,
the leaders will be• glad -to see stu
dents privately, and •to •talk over
with them perplexing problems.
Some of the following Tr :rque
. ere and will be actively engaged in
lecturing and conference work:J. C.
McCracken, head of the Medical
School at Canton, a famous athlete
at Penn, and for four years presi
dent of his class; Arthur Howe,
captain of a Yale football team and
general secretary of all the prepara
tory Y. M. C. A. organizations of
the country; Vance McCormick,
former mayor of Harrisburg and a
Yale athlete, who will present
Child's Welfare Work; Graham
Taylor, editor of the Survey, presi
dent of the Chicago School of Civ
ics and Philanthropy and founder
and head warden of the Chicago
Commons.
Such men as Colton, Mott and
Neale will also be with us, and as
each man makes a speciality of a
certain branch of social service,
much useful information may be
imbibed.
this campaign will be one of the
most unique and one of the largest
of its kind in the country. Many
active men besides those named
will be here and will be ready to
give their entire attention to the
conference work. On the whole
this subject does not confine itself
to any particular creed, as it is merely
an endeavor to serve humanity and
an active incentive to pave the way
for better and more far-reaching
social conditions in this country.
It cannot be denied that such an
endeavor is one of the most noble
inspirations that a human being can
have. It is for this reason that the
college man, being especially
adapted, should interest himself in
this sort of work. No matter what
his future vocation may be, he will
always be in the position to per
form some service for those who
are beneath him and for those who
lack the proper social and moral
environments.

A Misunderstaiiding
The Y. M. C. A. is the one stu
dent organization which a man may
join and be a member of, with or
without money. Lack of funds
never prevents a man from joining.
The annual dues are $1.50 for those
men who are able to pay, and the
money is all used in work which
goes directly for the general good
of the men in college. When a
man joins the association he is con
sidered a member until he presents
a written resignation. This is an
old custom which is followed by
most of the prominent college asso
ciations of the country and which
has been a written rule of this asso
ciation for the past two years. It
has been the policy of the associa
tion to send all members a state
ment once a year. No statements
are ever sent to men whose applica
tions for membership are not filed
i n the office.
Positions on the Student Council
The following motion is to be
passed upon by a majority vote of
the members present at a meeting
of the two upper classes:
"An!amendment to article three of
the Constitution of the Student
Council, in order that the two lower
classes may be represented as fol
lows: sophomore and freshman
class presidents and one member
selected at large from the sopho
more class."
All material for the second issue
of "Froth" must be in the hands of
the Editor not later than February
12th. Elections will be held before
the next issue, so all candidates
should submit their manuscripts or
drawings before the above date to
be considered in the elections.
Material should be mailed to the'
Editor or left in the "Froth" room,
473 Main.
