UNDERCLASS RESPONSIBILITY
- -
Since the war began over eight hundred men have left college to
take up military and industrial work. With the enforcement of the
selective draft bill a number of the men from the upper classes will
probably be called to the colors, throwing upon the shoulders of the
undei-classmcn the bulk of the responsibility of discharging the stu
dent body's duty to the college. With the departure of the Seniors,
together a ith a large number of the men and leaders of the present
Junior cliu.s, the duty of not only maintaining the existence of the col
loge during the war but also of preserving its present high standard
of organization, rests largely with the members of the two lower clas
ses Above all things, there must be no need of rehabilitating our col
leges after the war Our institutions of education must be preserved
hem disorganization in order that our civilization may be unimpaired.
Upon each man there rests an individual responsibility The pres
ident of the college has said that the entrance requirements should be
lowered in order that a large number of men may enter the freshman
class next fall. President Wilson has said that college athletics and
student activities should be continued for the purpose of keeping our
young men mentally and physically fit. And finally, Governor Brum
baugh has said in our presence, that when war comes our civilization
decays and returns to barbarity Obviously from the utterances of our
leadei s there is a charge of responsibility resting upon every man who
can return to college nest fall Particularly upon the members of the
lower classes rest the responsibilities of bringing new men to the col
lege; of refraining from ill advised student legislation abolishing col
lage athletics; and of preserving for the Commonwealth after the war
its State College
It aill, indeed, be hard to bear the tediousness and monotony of
routine work while great events arc transpiring without; but it will be
impossible to keep the machinery of the college in working order with
out the cooperation of a large and hard working student body. It
should, therefore, be seriously borne in mind by the men ineligible to
conscription that the leaders of the state and nation are charging them
with the duty of conserving and guarding the intellectual resources of
the nation Let there be no evasion of the duty of keeping together
the student body, the faculty and spirit of the Pennsylvania State Col
lege
Dut mg the past few months THE COLLEGIAN has received many
!cams touching on various subjects that the writers feel worthy of
bringing to the attention of the Penn State student body. With few
exceptions these letters have come without the signature of the writer
and when such is the case, they are practically useless for the purpose
tor which they are intended An anoymous letter sent to a newspaper
bears no more weight than a similar communication sent to an individ
ual We cannot honor nor print such communications. As an evi
dence of good faith on the part of the writer, we must insist that his
name be attached, although, by request, a name may be omitted if the
article is used for publication.
Many letters have come to this office bearing only the time-worn
phrase of "A Student" for a signature They have shown great care
in prepai anon, and dwell upon interesting subjects, but in most cases
it is impossible to use them for publication—or even comment in our
news and editorial columns This is simply because of the fact that the
writers have not assured us of their good faith by attaching their
names and addresses. We take great pleasure in receiving communica
tions from the students and faculty members, and would like to urge
a more general use of the privilege that we extend to all.
A kw weeks ago a call was issued through the columns of this
newspaper for voluntary contributions towards the erection of a suit
able Penn State memorial in St Albert's church, Duncannon, a church
that has been dedicated to the memory of a loyal and true Penn State
alumnus, Albert L. Dorwart 'l6. The answer to this call has been al
most negligible. The cause thus far has been miserably supported, to
say the least The movement is indeed a most noble one, and Is de
serving of a far greater response than has been given it. Contribu
tions, no matter how small, may be left at the Y. M. C A office.
THE COLLEGIAN takes pleasure in announcing thnt arrangements
have been completed whereby a special "news service" through a bul
letin bo'rd in its office window will be maintained for the benefit of
the stud-it body From day to day, news items of interest to the stu
dPnts wel be posted there in advance of publication of the newspaper.
sorvice will be maintained as another mark achieved by THE
COLLEGIAN in its earnest endeavor to best serve the students at
all times and in the best posible way.
The suggestion that n mnmoth letter "S" be set in concrete on the
Onee,of Old Mount Nitany is n very good one, and is worthy of con
sitiratie, by the coming classes at Penn State There can be no doubt
tlmt sue' monument would add a certain impressiveness to the tradi
tions nn'i memories of the college and its surroundings. However, the
finencin— of such n movement at Penn State would be a grave problem,
and nn iinnossibiliy under existing conditions. It may be many years
ra.• An.:11...1..0:41: a plan can really be looked upon as a reality.
