Wednesday, April 29, 1914
During the summer o£
Summer 1913, two experimental
Camp military encampments
for the instruction of
college and university students were
established under the auspic
es o£ the War Department. So
great a success were these and so
great the benefits derived therefrom,
that four such camps are to be
established this summer: One at
Ashville, S. C., July 6th to Aug.
7th; one at Burlington, Vt., same
date; one at Ludington. Mich,,
same date; and One at Monterey,
Cal., June 26th to July 31st. This
scheme has the indorsement of the
foremost educators of the land,
among whom may be mentioned
President Wilson; Ex-President
Taft; and the following College and
University Presidents: Drs. Hib
ben, Princton; Lowell, Harvard;
Hadley, Yale; Hutchens, Mich.;
Drinker, Lehigh; and the President
of our own college.
The object of these camps is
two-fold. In the first place, to
give college men a short course in
military field training so as to bet
ter fit them for their country’s use
in case of military necessity. (The
skies are not altogether clear at
present either.) In the second
place, to give these men a taste of
the active, healthful, outdoor life of
a military camp, which must prove
a permanent benefit to the student
besides the broadening influences
from association with students from
other institutions.
‘‘The student is certain to in
crease his business efficiency and
hence the economic value through
the habits thus acquired of discip
line, obedience, self-control, order
and command, and study of or-
ganization and administration as ex
emplified in first-class modern
armies.”
The nation will be benefited by the
fostering of a patriotic spirit, with
out which it would lose its virility
and decay, and by increasing its
military reserve with a class of
educated men from among whom a
large proportion of the volunteer
commissioned officers would have
to be drawn in time of war.
This is an opportunity for a
wholesome, healthful, useful vaca
tion at a very moderate cost. The
expenses are as follows:
Transportation: The railroad
fare to and from the place of the
Board: $3.50 per week, or $17.50
for the entire period of five weeks.
Clothing: A suit of field uni
form, at a cost of $5 to $lO.
The government will furnish,
gratis, cots, blankets, tantage, cook
ing outfits, a complete infantry out
fit, for each man, including rifle,
bayonet, canteen, shelter tent half,
poles and pins, haversack, pack
carrier, mess kit, knife, spoon and
cup. Also medical care.
Instruction will be given in
tactics, including rear guards,
advance guards, patrols, outposts
and combats; military map making
and road sketching; target practice
with service rifle and ammunition;
and marching, camping, tent pitch
ing, making and breaking camps,
field cooking, camp sanitation, first
aid to the injured, and personal
hygiene. Informal talks will be
given on field fortifications, mili
tary bridge building, use of ex
plosives, demolitions; installation
and use of field telephones, buz
zers, and radiotelegraphic appara
tus and other work done by the
Signal Corps in the field; military
policy of the country; and the
present scheme for the organiza
tion of the land and naval forces of
the United States.
“To each student who success-
fully completes the prescribed
course of instruction a certificate
will be issued and his name kept on
file in the War Department, with
such remarks as to his degree of
efficiency and recommendations as
to his fitness for future command
as may be made by the officers in
charge.”
“In return for the opportunities
thus afforded students are expected
to pursue earnestly the course
prescribed.” The course will be
work, not play. As far as prac
ticable the work will be confined to
the morning, leaving the afternoon
and evening at the disposal of the
student, with due regard to proper
supervision.
A proposed honor sys-
Give It tern for all departments of
a Trial this institution will be
formally presented to the
student body assembled in mass
meeting very soon- At this meet
ing there must be present at least
two-thirds of all the male students
of the college for its adoption or
rejection.
The Collegian has urged the
adoption of this system in previous
issues, and it would seem unneces
sary to repeat the arguments which
it has advanced; but we do feel
warranted in making one last appeal
to the better judgment of every
man to whom this will be presented
to vote without prejudice and with
a desire to do that which will aid
most in the future development of
Penn State.
The system as proposed provides
for its repeal should it fail to work
out successfully. With all to gain
and nothing to lose, why not give it
a trial. This is the only real test
of its practicability and its desira
bility or undesirability may then be
established without a question of
doubt.

al Arts society was held last Friday

al resolutions were brought up and
laid on the table, and it was

Building, Friday evening. May 8.

PRINCIPALS’ CONFERENCE
Forty Representatives Expected
to Attend,
With 38 principals, representing
the leading high, preparatory and
normal schools of the state, the
fifth annual principals’ conference
will be held at the college Friday,
May 1. The object of the confer
ence is to bring together the leaders
of educational institutions in the
state and discuss modern problems
relative to the school and pupils, at
the same time bringing these men
in a closer touch with the college.
In this way their interest in Penn
State will be raised and the aim to
make this institution the leading
college of the state will be further
ed.
The program for the day consists
of a luncheon served by the
Domestic Science department,
Woman’s Building, at 12:15; review
of regiment of college cadets, Bea
ver Field, at 1:00; interscholastic
meet, Beaver Field, at 1:30; first
conference, Auditorium, at 4:00;
dinner served at President’s resi
dence, West Campus, at 6:00; and
the second conference, Auditorium,
at 8:00. The meetings will be
under the direction of Dr. S. E.
Weber, professor of education, and
will be informal.
In the College World
Dr. J. D. Moffat has resigned as
president of W. and J. It is rumor
ed that ex-President Roosevelt will
be offered the position when he
returns from South America.
Allegheny recently staged the
Bingville Bugle Bazaar, a produc
tion in five acts, dramatized from
the Bingviile Bugle section of the
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Oberlin is to have a $25,000
pipe organ for their chapel.
The sophomores at Pitt had an
Easter festival last week and pre
sented several egg shampoos gratis
to their younger brethern. The
occasion was the 1917 class picture.
A committee of the National
Collegiate Athletic association
recommends several rules for adop
tion by all colleges in regard to col
lege baseball games. The purpose
of the mles is to do away with all
ungentlemanly and discourteous
conduct at games.
The numerals on the W. and J.
junior hats are said to be as big as
“the route signal on a Pittsburg
trolley car”. No such comment on
Penn State’s 1916 bonnets.
Penn is endeavoring to secure an
inter-ftatemity agreement that no
rushing of freshmen shall take
place during the first semester.
