THE CRISIS PAST
Happenings during the past week will go down as being some of
the most important and far-reaching in the history of Penn State. That
the student body has been on the verge of probable disorganization,
and lies now passed the crisis with definite plans for the completion of
the year, even though greatly reduced in numbers, brings home to us
the important fact that we must now do everything in our power to
fight oft the excitement and discontent that has pervaded the campus
for so many weeks. The leading thought that was brought out by
President Sparks in his message to the studerit body last Wednesday
night—that we must now have patience—should now be our by-word
and guiding thought for the coming events.
Almost one-third of the entire student body has now departed
from the campus to take up the various lines of patriotic service for
the government. With their daily departure in the last few weeks, the
others have been placed in a very difficult position Very little study
ing ha% been done; little benefit has been derived from the college
work; a period of unrest and discontent has surged about us that will
be most difficult. to throw off. Yet right now is the time for all of
those remaining to make a supreme effort to come back to as nearly
normal condition as possible. The crisis is presumably past; no more
will be able to enter the training camps; the Penn State hospital unit
has been nobly recruited to double capacity; and what little time is left
in the college year makes it hardly worth while for more students to
leave foi industrial patriotic service. So far as a general response to
service is concerned, Penn State is apparently through. Then it de
mains for all of us to do our share in an attempt to reestablish normal
conditions
The Council of Administration in reconsidering its action on the
abolition of final examinations, has graciously contributed an immense
share in attaining this end. This action has not only tended to keep
more students in college for the balance of the year, thereby assisting
materially in further preparing college men for the aftermath of the
great wai, but it will allow an additional week for beneficial instruction
which we hope might be along military lines. Other colleges are see
ing the necessity of this action, and the fact that Penn State is known
as one of the leaders of the movement speaks well for her standing.

"CONGRATULATIONS"
The men who have backed debating during the past few years
are to be congratulated upon their untiring efforts to win for Penn
State recognition in national college debating circles. The granting
of a charter in the national forensic society, Delta Sigma Rho, to Penn
State is a step in advance for the college that is to be considered as a
mark of the highest achievement.
"Everything comes to him who will but wait"—and work. Penn
State in the matter of debating, has been waiting and working for a
good ninny years. It took hard, consistent work on the part of many
Penn State debaters to win the championship trophy in the Pennsylva
nia Debating League for the years 1013-1016, but that is only one
symbol of their united efforts. We will look forward to a great ad
vancement along debating lines at this college, for with membership
in this national society of college debaters, greater recognition will
come to Penn State teams; better contests can be guaranteed and it
should be an incentive for better attendance at 'varsity debates.
It is a big day for Penn State when a thousand-dollar painting
makes its appearance as a gift to the college. That is what has hap
pened. A great, roomy, out-of-doors-breathing picture of Pennsylva
nia's blue hills hangs in the college Museum-Gallery and puts Penn
State on an equal footing with many a more prosperous institution in
the Commonwealth. Artist Setter, of Pittsburgh, is the donor, And
much gratitude to him will be the feeling of those who love the art
enrichment of the College.
