COLLEGE TRIBUNAL
New Governing, Body Thoroughly
Organized and in Action.
As a result of the action taken
by the student body last year in
regards to the interpretation and en
forcement of the college customs,
the College Tribunal was organized
and started this fall. It meets
every Wednesday evening at 7
o'clock in room 121 Main Building
Ito hear all cases brought before it
and try all men accused of breaking
the college customs. So far this
year it has held four meetings
two of which were solely for the
-purpose of going over and in
terpretating the college customs laid
down by the Student Council. The
other two were open to all cases
which might come before it and
on one of these nights it met in
vain for no cases were presented.
Now when such a period as this
exists we know that something is
wrong. The system is mighty good
and if worked out as intended
would improve existing conditions
around . college considerably.
I.Without a doubt the college cus
toms as published in the last issue
of the Collegian are constantly be
ing ox er stepped by someone and
these are the very men the tribunal
,is looking for. When no cases are
brought before it, it either shows
that the students have reached an
advanced stage of perfection or
what is nearer the truth, they are
not back of the new idea. Without
a doubt if the fellows would stand
rin back of the Tribunal as they
should it would be most effective.
The trials are carried on in a dig
nified manner before only the Tri
bunal and such witnesses as are
necessary either to speak for or
'against the defendant. Every man
is given a square deal and all are
treated alike regardless of who or
what they are. The charges are
presented before them in such a
way that they are made to feel the
°importance of the occasion. The
president makes it plain and trys to
impress upon the defendants that
they are to obey the college cus
toms, and charges brought against
them the second time will be
dealt with very severely. The case
is thrashed over thoroughly in the
absence of the defendant and wit
nesses and they are either acquitted
or turned over to the sophomores
with suggestions of punishment.
1 In order to have a meeting, a
quorum of each class represented is
necessary. The members are de
voting much time and energy to it
and it is the duty of each student
to get out and back up the Tribunal
as it should be backed up. In this
way and only in this way will it be
a real success.
When will Babe's palace be fin

Faculty Bibliography
Prof. Fred Lewis Pattee, head
of the Department of Eng
lish, is again before the public eye
in literary affairs. His poem, "The
Man of the West," appearing in
"Poet Lore" of July - August, is de
scribed as a wonderful bit of com
position.
Dr. Arthur Holmes, Dean of the
General Faculty, is the author of an
article entitled "How a Psychologi
cal Clinic Can Help a Special
Class", published in the latest
issue of the Psychological Clinic,
a publication of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania. The arti
cle deals with the necessity of
school clinics to recommend treat
ment for physically defective chil
dren, many of whom should be sent
to special institutions for treatment;
the fact is brought out that neglect
of this often causes a total lack of
ability of self-support in the case
of abnormal children, a condition
which in many cases could have
been prevented.
Another book by Dr. Holmes,
"When to Send for the Doctor",
has been published recently. It is
characterized as "the most useful
thing of its kind in existence".
Penn State men will be especially
glad to hear that Dean Holmes'
work, "Principles of Character
Making", has just been placed in
the Carnegie Library. It is "a text
book on applied psychology, with
psychology in its modernized form
applied to the most vital function
of the home, the school, the indi
vidual and the nation." It gives
the subject of child training and
character building from the
genetic point of view. The book
contains much of the material
which made up the series of intense
ly interesting psychological lectures
which Dean Holmes delivered last
year.
Y. M. C. A. Convention
The Student Volunteers of the
Y. M. C. A. will hold their greatest
convention in Kansas City during
the Christmas holidays. There will
be at least five thousand delegates
in attendance from all the colleges
and universities in the country.
The convention, which is held once
every four years, met last in
Rochester, New York, and State
had a splendid representation there,
including President Sparks and
some of the best known students of
the college at the time.
The President in the West
President Sparks last week gave
addresses before the Minnesota
Educational Association at Min
neapolis and at the University of
Minnesota. He speaks next month
before the South Dakota Teachers'
Association at Sioux Falls and will
fill a week's lecture engagements
for the Extension Division of the
University of Wisconsin.
