Wednesday, February 11, 1914 We wonder if any Why Did any one else ever re- He Flunk ? ceives so much criti- cism as does the col- lege professor immediately after examinations. Following is a cor- rect version of a conversation heard in the local post office Mr. A. “Hello there, how did you make out in the German exam. yesterday ?’’ Mr. B. “Don't talk German to me today. Do you see that ? That means he gave me another E. and I worked hard for him too. I don’t see why we fellows have to take so much of that stuff, we’ll never use it anyhow. I’ll admit that I can’t get that grammar into my head, but I did all the transla tion and the passage at sight was a cinch. I thought I hit that hard. I am glad it isn’t Carbons though.” “So far the conversation. Not many hours before overhearing this conversation, the “professor” had been struggling with a problem something like this, which, by the way, is translation : “A peasant during the nite his beautifuiest horse had stollen out of the stable. He made a journey five days long on one Horse to buy another. But see -he found under the for sale horses at the market, besides his horse. He grasps it quickly by the bridal (this is trans lated into good English lit. it means he knew it by the brand) and shouted highly: this horse is mein. For three days he was stollen from me. Then the man who had the horse for sail said very peeviously: you are misten (probably intended for .mistaken,’’) my dear friend, I have the horse alredy over a year. This is not your animal. It looks only similar (lit. it looks out of only one eye.) Then the farmer quickly hid (closed or looked into) the horses eyes and cried: Now if you indeed have had the steed so long, tell me in which eye he is blind.” But there is still hope. Goethe "Wer immer strebend sich bemuht, Den konnen wir erlosen.” Owing to the appar- Accidents ent inability of the Will State Center Electric Happen Company to furnish heat, light and other necessities during the fore part of the week, and to the resulting sus pension of activity in the Nittany Printing and Publishing Company’s offices, the Collegian is forced to appear later this week. The great “Eddy- Successsful fication” Campaign is Campaign over, and there can be no doubtas to the act ual good which it has accomplished. The very presence among us of such men as Sherwood Eddy and his associates, and the mere know ledge of what they have accom plished in the past, are sufficient guarantees of the principles which they stand for and which they advocate for others. The immedi ate results of the campaign may be seen in the new attitude of many men; if there are some who remain practically uninfluenced, certainly the events of the past week have made everyone think; and this compulsory thinking and reasoning out the problems of life are, to many, the ultimate proofs of the success of such a religious cam- Several times during A the past month falls of Suggestion snow melting and then freezing over have in troduced a condition which has been a source of annoyance to per sons who are forced to use the walks about the campus in that it has greatly retarded their progress in going to and from classes. An other element which has been intro duced and which is much more serious is that of danger from fall ing and perhaps sustaining serious injury. In view of these facts, may we not suggest and urge that either some effort be made to have the snow removed from these uneven pathways or that sand or ashes be scattered over those places where ice has formed. Alumni Associations Thriving The President of the College and the Secretary of the Alumni Asso ciation have almost completed the list of alumni reunions planned for this winter. Thus far they have attended gatherings of Penn State men at Boston, New York, Baltimore, Buffalo, Pitts burgh, Clevel and, Chicago, and Minneapolis. They have yet to visit Altoona, Harrisburg, Philadel phia and Schenectady. At every meeting, although those present represented classes ranging from the ’6o’s to ’l3, there was the same loyalty, enthusiasm and interest in everything pertaining to the institu tion. College songs and college yells showed that lung power does not diminish after graduation. Buffalo had thirty-five present out of foi ty-three Penn State men residing in the vicinity. Chicage had sixty-two present and was honored by the President Judson of the University of Chicago. New York had as guests H. W, Mitchell, ’9O, and J. F. Shields, ’92, Trustees of the College, and R. W. William son, ’93, President of the General Alumni Association. Boston will THE PENN STATE. COLLEGIAN Distinctively Individual To turn out high grade laundry work is a fine art. To make the linen “live" and have that neat, smooth finish so much .desired by the man who cares, is a secret gained only by careful study and painstaking care. We give you absolutely the best grade of work to be had. YOUR WORK IS DONE THE MODERN WAY “WE KNOW HOW.” ALL COLLARS TURNED BY HAND TlneHigh. Standard Laundry hold her dinner next year on the evening aftes the Harvard game and will include the members of the football team. Baltimore and Cleveland furnished an innovation in the presence of ladies at their dinners. Pittsburgh outdid herself in numbers and enthusiasm. The support of the Alumni is a valuable asset to any colle re, and Penn State is rapidly crystallizing a sentiment equal to that of the older colleges. The geographical dis tribution of the dinners ranging from East to West shows how widely the Alumni are scattered and in what numbers they are gathered about prominent points. Steps will be taken in the near future for a nation —wide reunion on the PacilJc slope in 1915 in con nection with the Exposition at San Francisco. La Crosse. There will be a meeting of the La Crosse association Saturday. Watch the bulletin board for the time and place. WHO MADE THE DEMAND FOR OUR COUGH TABLETS? The answer is easy.
