PENNSYLVANIA DAY.
On Friday Pennsylvania Day will be celebrated in commemo
ration of the founding of Penn State over sixty years ago. This
day which is set apart each year has the significance of Founder's
Day in many colleges and it is fitting that it should be called Penn
sylvania Day because of the fact that the institution was founded
by the commonwealth itself. Every celebration of this event has
disclosed a bigger and greater Penn State and this year the same
fact is apparent. It is interesting and worth while to review the
continuing increase in enrollment and the steady rise of better
student customs, ideals and morals.
The celebration on Friday is, next to Commencement, the
most important college event of the year. Penn State is glad to
have the honor of entertaining the governor and his staff and the
numerous state officials and other friends of the college who will
be our guests. The college authorities are doing everything pos
sible to make the day even more successful than past Pennsylva
nia Days and it is for the student body to co-operate and show
to the hundreds of visitors the meaning of Penn State ideals and
hospitality. The general assembly on Friday morning in the audi
torium should be largely attended for this reason and because the
t.rogram arranged will be of interest to every student.
WHAT DOES PENN STATE NEED MOST?
Two weeks ago the Collegian announced its intention of pr.nt
ing contributed articles on the subject, "What is the Greatest Need
of Penn State?" The project was entered into primarily as a
means of bettering conditions about the College and for this rea
son the attitude of those to whom the original notice was ad
dressed has been awaited with deep interest. The prize for the
nest article on this subject, offered by the President of the Collage
within the last week, is sufficient indication of the manner in
which the college authorities regard the project. It is now s,m
ply a question of students, faculty, and alumni taking their stand
in the matter.
There are perhaps but few questions which in themselves of
fer greater opportunities for improving conditions at Penn State
than that which has to do with the direct needs of the College.
The s• bject may be viewed from any one of three standpoints—
the moral, material, or intellectual—and through these topics the
i ange of discussion becomes almost unlimited.
As regards the material needs of Penn State many are almost
self evident. As examples may be taken the question of a college
social hall, a natatorium, or any one of the almost innumeraole
needs that make themselves evident from time to time. The moral
needs of the College might well be concerned in the question of
securing a different type of chapel speakers, in the extension of
the honor system idea to all college activities, and discussions of
a like nature. In taking up the intellectual needs discussion might
center around such subjects as that of grad* practicum work on
a piece-work basis rather than on the time-work basis now in use,
as that of scheduling all practicum periods in the afternoon and
all recitation periods in the morning, and so on ad infinitum.
These few illustrations but serve to show the wide range of
thought that may be the means of securing new improvements for
the College and of correcting certain conditions that now pass un
notict d in the daily routine of the college work.
However, when all is said and done, the project is more or
less of an experiment and its final success or failure will depend
very largely upon the degree of interest shown by those who de
sire to do their share in bringing about a large and better Penn
State.
PROPER RESPECT FOR TRUSTEES
Students of Penn State, we are not Democrats, we are not
Republicans, but we trust that we are fair, broad-minded Ameri
can citizens As a college publication it is not our purpose to up
hold any one political party, but we believe it is the duty of every
true Penn State man to stand for fair play under all circumstances.
When a trustee of the college is hooted and jeered by a thoughtless
group of students, there is somewhere a lack of true college spirit.
Such an incident, however, occurred last Saturday evening at the
political celebration. In times past men of different political af
filiations have spoken to student gatherings and those who heard
were fair-minded enough to give the spokesman an opportunity to
speak without being rudely interrupted. It would seem that col
lege-trained men should at least be courteous enough to show
Proper respect for a member of the Board of Trustees, even though
it be at a time of great political excitement. What has been done
cannot be undone, but certainly a repetition of the affair of Satur
day evening ought not to occur in the future. Thoughtless stu
dent, if you do not have respect for a man's political opinions, the
least you can possibly do is to show a due regard for the position
he occupies in the administration of the college.
We are glad to note the activity on the part of the Civic Club
in regard to securing the franchise for college students) A need
for such legislation was discussed in The Collegian last week and
we hope that the Civic Club, which has taken up the matter, will
continue its efforts with a view towards giving the college student
his full rights as a citizen. The club will do a good work if in
any way it can foster legislation which will put an "absent vote: s"
clause in the election laws of the state.
