In an attempt to find a solution to the problem of how more funds
can be secured each year for appropriations by the Senior class in
the erection of an acceptable memorial, one plan has come to us that
seems to possess great merit It is a well known fact that this me
morial fund each year consists of the remainder of the student dam
age deposit fund, and since it is purely a student fund, established for
the protection of the college whose interests we are all so vitally con
cerned with, why could not this fund come under student supervis
ion,'
There are many points in favor of a movement of this kind. The
benefits .15 we see them, would be of sufficient magnitude to warrant
student control of this student fund The moral effect or such a
pi oceedive is in itself of so great importance that the idea cannot well
be missal up entirely, and we would recommend that an investigation
of the ads isability of such a movement be taken up by the student
goNerning bodies without delay
In p ist it has been very evident that the student body at large
has bee', entirely too thoughtless with respect to its attitude towards
the case of college property. The result has been needless damage
inflicted upon college property to the extent of hundreds of dollars
cinch tc it If these matters were to be brought at least in part under
student supervision, we feel that the responsibility so placed upon the
individual student would be of no little aid in materially reducing this
great e %pens° There is no doubt that the damage fund is in reality a
student fund Several years ago the college catalog in mentioning it,
brought out this point in the statement that the remainder of the fund
at tile cad of the year was to be disposed of at the will of the students.
This Iris in later years been reconstructed so as to read that "any re
mainder is to be disposed of by the Senior class at the end of each
academic ',ear
In sugg_sting &want supervision for the disposal of this fund we
desire in no way to detract from the efficiency with which the fund
has been so well handled in the past by the college purchasing agent's
But we do believe that a student representation to go over all
college chums as well as those made by townspeople, on, the damage
fund would go a great distance in gaining more respect for college
property on the part of the student body than has been evident in the
past. Finance committees of thC various classes, or their chairmen
combined. and under the direction of the inter-class treasurer, could
keep a clink on the larger claims, conduct investigations where or
ganized ensues have maliciously destroyed student and college property
and in other ways, by direct student influence keep the expenditures
from the damage fund down to the lowest possible minimum, and
thereby s cured more suitable remainder for the erection of a respec
table Senior class memorial, a beneficial gift to the college.
SHALL HONOR SYSTEM FAIL?
An imi.stigation of the success of the honor system in American
colleges. conducted by Pi ofessor H. E Burton of Dartmouth College,
reveals the startling ta.t i hit the system has generally proved unsatis
factory. Ihe failure of the system has been attributed mainly to the
absence of r ul. s which regal. cs students to report cheating and to the
existence of rules which pro% ide pardon or light penalty for a first of
fense In the opinion of Professor Burton, "A system that tolerates
the first offence or allows it to go with a warning or a reprimand is
liable to become a dishonor system " At Princeton, where the honor
system is centrally considered to be a success, the penalty for the first
offence is %Apulsion and the system includes class quizzes. Ass result
of his inssstigations, Professor Burton finally concludes that he is in
clined to believe regarding the honor system "it ministers to a mis
taken ,en.ativeness, endangers the authenticity of the college degree
and impo,s on the conscientious student a duty he is better off with
out"
Now all this applies to Penn State in that there is in our honor sys
tem a clause which says that an offended shall first be quietly informed
of his detection and on second offence shall be reported to the Honor
Committee As has been shown in a previous issue of the Collegian,
this clause provides n loophole for the unscrupulous student who
cheats in an examination. This undesirable clause alone constitutes
the exile which has caused the failure of the honor system in some
nineteen American colleges, and if the Penn State student body wishes
to safcgtvird "the authenticity of the college degree" it should im
mediately take such steps as are necessary to strike from the honor
system rules the clause which provides a warning for the first offence

WRESTLING A. MAJOR SPORT
Editor the Penn State Collegian,
MOM
Today, in• hto Philadelphia North
American, I road that the Intercollegiate
Wrestling. Association ad granted right
ful recognition to Penn State, and had
admitted our Alma Hater to member
ship
I predict, for our wrestling team. the
Intercollegelate Championship of 1917-
1918, and I believe It now becomes, the
duty and privilege of Penn State to ad
mit the wrestling association to the
major Athletic Association.
If to above suggestions scold bo
adopted, It would result In greater In
terest, and, If possible, a greater team.
Why not give to our undefeated wrest
ling team and all future teams • tho
'varsity 19919916 "9", In wrestling? I
hope tat•y our paper may start such a
movement, and that the students may
act favorably upon this suggestion.
Let up pay all honor to the greatest
wrestling team In the land, and also
honor Coach Lewis.
With beet wishes to the Penn State
Collegian Hoard, I am,
Very truly yours,
Robt. Scott Kitt.
