MOVING UPWARD
After a long, eventful nine month's period of work, the latter part
of which has been somewhat disorganized by long-to-be-remembered
and unexpected happenings, the time has come at last when the Fresh
man swaggers across the grass with his hands in his pockets; the Soph
omore, contless, enjoys the freedom of the front campus; the Junior
bares his head to the spring sunshine; and the Senior dons his cap and
gown and visions the dim and distant future, trying to catch a glimpse
of the things that it holds in store for him. We have reached the part
ing of the ways and will devote the next few days in fittingly ushering
the "Dear Old Senior" out into the "wide, wide world".
"Commencement" It is really the very beginning of life's strug
gle for those who are soon to receive their degrees. We are wont to be
lieve too trequently that exercises such as we will witness within a few
days merely signify the end of the rough road. But in reality it is just
the beginning Hard work may have characterized the existence of
these Penn State graduates in the past four years, but it is nothing
compa,cd to the duties that now confront them The leap from the ca
pacity of an obedient deck-hand to first mate, or skipper, is a long one„
but we venture the belief that Penn State men will prove most efficient
in handling their barks on the sea of life.
The preliminary ravages of war have already thinned the ranks of
the Nineteen Seventeen graduate body, but the spirit of the occasion
we arc sure lies with the absent numbers. And to them in their great
sacrifice for their country are extended the best wishes of their class
and college mates for unlimited success and honor, both for themselves
and for Old Penn State
The coming events of the graduation season not only mark the
beginning of a new life for the Seniors, but they also mark the advent
of a new dignity and responsibility to be placed on the shoulders of the
undergraduates The burden is such a one as has never before been
vested in a Penn State undergraduate body, and the immediate future
of the college rests largely upon the manner in which they carry out
their duties.
In bidding farewell to the men of Nineteen Seventeen, we believe
we voice the sentiment ofithe remaining classes when we say that our
associations with them in the past have been most enjoyable and bene
betel. True, little differences arose in the earlier days, but they came
as a matter of course and only served the better to bind us together
in the spirit of Penn State. We, of the undergraduate body have de
' ived great benefits front your advice and counsel, and wish you every
success as you now depart from your Alma Mater.
PREPARATION OF COLLEGE MEN
The effect of the war to date upon college life, and particularly
college athletics, has been to show decisively that the American college
man is in great need of an organized system of physical development.
With the outbreak of the war many colleges abandoned intercollegiate
athletic competitions and attempted to fill in the gap with intramural
activities In this they failed utterly, simply because of the fact that
their previous physical development had not been trained along lines
that would bring more than the few select men of the 'varsity teams
into their competitions
Although intercollegiate athletics were not abandoned at Penn
State, one can readily see the position the college would be placed in
if she had done so, and we can even imagine the state of affairs that
will exist next fall should many more of the football men be taken into
government service. There would naturally be a call for every student
to get out and try for places on the various teams There is a question
as to whether such a call would bring out any good, or even, fair, ma
terial, because there is no opportunity offered the average student of
mediocre ability in the present day college life to fit him for any kind
of strenuous effort demanded in the average athletic contest.
The question of a "new physical education" forms the text of a
lengthy article on "College Athletics as Related to National Prepared
ness," which appears in the latest issue of the "Penn State Alumni
Quarterly " It is written by Major Palmer E. Pierce, U. S. A , and was
read before a meeting of the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
In brief, the article recommends a more thorough and wide-spread ap
plication of physical training for college men The author would have
it made compulsory for every college man to take a definite amount of
out door training in athletics and sports. He would encourage phys
ical education under proper supervision; the formulation of good rules
of play for games and sports, and the development of the amateur
spirit. Aside from the military training and the stuffy gymnasium
drill, the average Penn State student receives no physical training or
chance to develop an athletic hobby of any kind We believe that the
institution of a wider scope of athletic training within the college
would be of great benefit to the students, and look forward to the
time when the college will be able to build the proposed playground on
the west campus where organized development can be held and in
which e‘.:ll the poorest of players will be encouragdd to enter with
satisfaction. The benefits to be derived from such a system would
work wonders for intercollegiate athletics.
TO THE ALUMNI
A hearty welcome to the Alumni!
The keys of the campus are yours, many of the big "doings" are
for your benefit alone; many of we students will be here to entertain
you; so "get in the swim", have as good a time as possible. Your num
bers are greatly reduced this year; so are ours. But where there's a
will there's a way; even a small crowd of Penn State Alumni and stu
dents is capable of absorbing an extra large amount of the Commence
ment time spirit, and making this occasion one that will be long re
membered.
We take this opportunity for congratulating the Penn State Alum
ni upon the excellent work that they have done during the past year,
especially through their "Penn State Booster CampaignA By this wide
spread movement, the Alumni Association has placed in the hands of
thousands of influential men throughout the state information in the
shape of the "Booster Book", of which most of them were entirely un
aware. Through the efforts of the association, the needs of Penn State
have been brought to the attention of thousands who had never known
that such a college existed. They have induced the newspapers to take
up the message of the Booster Book and practically every citizen of the
state is now aware of the fact that Penn State is really "on the map."
Members of the association have dug down into their own pockets to
finance this big undertaking and they have been well repaid for their
efforts. Much of the success of the movement is due to the untiring
work of Ray H. Smith 'O5, secretary of the Alumni Association. .
"Credit where credit is due"—and there is no little credit due
"Bill" Wood for the success he has attained this year in his work with
the men of the Two Year Agricultural school. His efforts have been
stamped with the seal of success from the very start, and very deserv
ing success at that.

Penn State's Honor System might well be applied to the use of the
books and magazines in the Carnegie Library. Every book that has
been borrowed by students during this year, officially or otherwise,
should be returned to its shelf today, so that the stacks might be com
plete for the summer school work and the opening of college next fall.
Many books and magazines hove been reported missing, taken away
without permission. This is an unpardonable offense Set your con
science straight by returning that book today.
