The claims of these advocates of the older educational ideas may or may not be true; but certain it is that the friendship of literature is a thing that should be cultivated by every man at. tending college. It is true that an acquaintance with the good things of literature is a source of much pleasure and profit to its possessor after college days arc over. Thus at Penn State, the student body has repeatedly been earn estly urged to show a more active interest in matters of literary importance The lifelong profits and pleasures of literary appre ciation have been described again sod again by both members* of the faculty and visiting speakers and neve• has a dissenting voice been raised against their arguments. We heartily believe *hat the benefits of the literary society, debating club and literature study should be sei.ured by every stu dent and we commence the men of the faculty for their interest in our literary welfare. But, there arc in this college certain pe culiar conditions which make active literary efforts almost an im possibility for a large mass of the students. We find when com paring the curriculum and practices of our school of engineering with those of othcr institutions, that the students here are required to spend a greater number of hours in the classroom than is re quired in many other technical colleges. Also, the majority of our laboratory courses require elaborately prepared reports. Most of these reports are, by necessity, prepared outside the class-room and they take much of the student's time available for outside literary work. In addition, many of these reports are returned for correc tion and revision, thus taking more and more of the student's leisure. Besides, we have many lecture courses requiring copious, neatly kept records which must be composed from hurriedly writ ten notes taken during the lectures. The many reports, note-books and heavy schedules required by this institution arc undoubtedly of great value in the prepara tion for a surcesgful professional career, but certain disadvantages, already pointed out, result from the requirement of too much spe cialized work from the students. To offset these disadvantages resulting from heavy schedules and outside required work, several technical schools of national reputation have tried to lessen the student's duties so that more leisure could be secured for the pur suit of literary activities. Tuhs we find that at Rensalaer Poly technical institute, that all laboratory reports arc made at the end of the laboratory period and the student is relieved of the duty of preparing a long, painstaking report. Although the students of Rensalacr are required to work in the class-room and laboratory about eight hours each day they arc free almost every evening from the preparation of lessons and long reports of work done in the lab oratory. At Lehigh University we find that each Wednesday af teroon is granted as a half holiday and many other means have been adopted to keep down the range of the student's requirements in order that a more active interest may be taken in things outside of the required studies. Throughout the country there has been noticed a marked endeavor to lessen the duties of technical stu dents Some colleges have even instituted five and sp. years courses in order that the men may have the opportunity for a more fully rounded education. We have no formal remedy for the conditions that exist here at present to offer, but we recommend the matter of crowded sched ules and tedious elaborate laboratory reports to the serious con sideration of the general faculty A MCVING-UP DAY When the old class scraps were abolished by the action of the student body last year it was apparent that substitutes should be adopted which would not involve the objectionable featiires of the former scraps. After urging the adoption of the tug-of-war as one substitute The Collegian further recommended that one day be set apart during the spring term so that classes could participate in various activities which would be arranged for that day. The event would correspond to the Spring Day or Field Day of several large colleges or it could be aM. wing-up Day, as we suggested. A suit able date just prior to the senior examinations could be easily de cided upon. The day would bring all classes togethc: in a huge mass meet ing and general gathering. It would give more prominence to the several interclass athletic contests and other spring events, each of which is held at a different time and which usually incite little in terest. The day would mark the moving-up of the three lower classes. The Juniors would become Seniors, the Sophomores Jun iors and the Freshmen would ascend from their lowly position. If the general principle of such an event is agreed upon, the details can easily be worked out by a committee for the purpose. As part of the program there could be a varsity baseball game. a class-scrap such as the Tug-of-War, and two or three interclass athletic contests. At a big open-air mass meeting announcement could be made of elections of class officers and honorary society elections as well as the awarding of varsity insignia. The fresh man stunt could also be at.nounced and other events of interest could also be arranged for this occasion. There are many reasons why such a day should be made a part of the regular college year and because of these and the gen erally favorable comment on the proposal last year we would urge that the Student Council take the matter under consideration. Be cause of the usual long time necessary for the adoption of new legislation and new customs, we suggest that action be taken as In vim ^ ---- ency, it seems that atten tion should be called to the singing of the Alma Mater at the close of football games. Instead of being sung by a united student body as an expression of loyalty to the college and to the team, the Al ma Mater of late has been rendered amid a general scramble toward exits from the bleachers and grandstand, with the result that it has become a sort of unwelcome finale to an afternoon's entertainment. That such a condition should exist is without doubt most un fortunate. The custom of singing the Alma Mater at the close of each game has long been handed down as one of the finest repre sentations of the real Penn State spirit. Year after year, in vic tory and defeat, the custom has beed observed with a dignity that places it among the best of the traditions associated with the col lege. 'Editor-In-Chief Anslxtant Editor bunlot AtIYOI.I3LO It is therefore in an appeal to student sentiment, and not in the carping spirit of criticism, that mention is made of the de cline which now marks one of our time-honored customs The Is sue ASCU is clear, and upon each one of us individually must rest the responsibility of deciding whether or not the renditions of the Alma Matcr shall be in keeping with the true Penn State, her tra ditions,..and her ideals. Last year, at no little expense, the college provided a number of adequate bulletin boards about the campus for the benefit of the student body They were placed with the hope of doing away with the unsightly side-walk, step and even building defacing that has been going on for years by those who feel inclined to take an easy course in displaying their various announcements. With these adequate provisions for such purposes, it is shameful, the manner in which the campus walks have been chalked up with un important notices. The columns of The Collegian are always open to the student body for such announcements, and we see plenty of vacant space on the various bulletin boards. CAPT.
