HINDERING A BROADER EDUCATION
Technical education during recent years has many times been
criticised by advocates of the old, so-called, liberal training be
cause they say that it produces men who lack a broad undeistandinc;
of life and humanity_ They say that men pursuing courses in agri
culture, engineering and kindred arts are, by necessity, forced to
narrow their attention to their own particular specialization, thus
failing to attain the broadncss of mind and development of per
sonality resulting from the study of literature, languages and so
forth.
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.

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.
