WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1918 News Editor For This Issue "WIN THE WAR DAY" AT PENN STATE A splendid opportunity for Penn State students to show alle giance to the country and at the same time honor former students and graduates in arms, will be presented on Saturday, April 6, the first anniversary of the declaration of war with Germany. There will be a Nation wide celebration on that day and in all colleges some observation of the event will take place. It is to be known as the" National Win the War Day." Possibilities for a great celebration at Penn State are fine, and we would urge immediate preparation for such an occasion. While it is not advisable to declare a holiday for such an observance, we could gather for an hour on that day, and run throtigh a short pro gram. Hundreds of undergraduates are in the service today, men who otherwise would have been with us now. To these men alone we could give a fitting remembrance and let them know that those who are still here are standing back of them. A public reading of Penn State's "Honor Roll" could be the basis-of such a celebration, and a few short and appropriate addresses could be made covering National and college affairs Plans for the National observance have been worked out by the National Committee of Patriotic Societies, and their news service sends the following extract from a statement sent to the heads of National Patriotic officials, and to college presidents: . _ . "At the beginning of our second' year in the great war it is fitting that we have a National consecration to the task remaining before us. Because of numerous workless days during the past winter it is not advisable that the occasion should be made a holiday, but in every factory, store, mine, school and on every farm there should be a brief period during the dy where everyone who is loyal to the flag should stand up and be counted. Flags should everywhere be un furled At twelve o'clock noon factory whistles and church bells should send forth a volume of sound that will reach Berlin. Every band in the country will then play the 'Star Spangled Banner' while people stand at attention. In the evening in the churches, halls and theatres the people can gather for meetings of inspiration. Regi mentS of the National Army may parade in cities near the canton ments. "The 'winter of our discontent' with its coalless days and con gested railroad and other minor annoyances is past. The spring with its promise of abundant crops and increased industrial production is here. Now is the time for America's Home Army to mobilize and thus bring courage to our boys in the trenches and cantonments, and de pression to our enemies. Let Germany feel that this is a popular war in America. The effect of having the nation a unit in Patriotic thought on this day cannot be overestimated. It will bring renewed courage and hope to our brave Allies. "In every college there should be special patriotic exercises at which messages from students and alumni in the Nation's service may be read, instruction as to how every college student can do his part to win the war can be given and a pledge of allegiance to the flag and to the cause of the war repeated by all. The colleges of America have responded nobly to the call to arms. On April 6th faculties and students should let their brothers in the field know that they are with them in spirit and in effort." DO A BIT FOR PENN STATE The time is here when every student has a chance to "do his bit" for Penn State. A little effo'rt now in the right direction will count a great deal in building up the college fur next year by encouraging preparatory school students to enroll in the Freshman class next fall. Just as the army needs men and money to fight its cause, so does Penn State need new material next fall •to maintain her high standards. Hundreds of preparatory school boys in all parts of the state are beginning to think of college, and scores of them have as yet made no selection. A word or two about Penn State to that old chum back in high school will do much towards getting him here next September. Write to him today, telling him why Penn State is the best college in the state; have a copy of the catalog mailed to him; send the COL LEGIANS to the school library for the balance of the year, and in every way possible help Penn State to maintain her former high standards. Next year will doubtless be a critical one for the college unless an unusually large number of Freshmen are registered. The present student body and alumni must assume the greatest part of the burden in filling the, new class to capacity. The older men have been called away by the score, and their places must be filled. It will take but a few minutes of your time to do this duty for your college;_ let the general slogan be—" One New Man for Penn State`_ Who will say that the Penn State "spirit" has been lacking during the past few weeks? Given birth in an unprecedented "get-together" campaign of three days, the idea of "stick-together" has been nursed in careful hands and is now a healthy, lusty infant whose future should be guaranteed with capitalized Success. When the "get-together" idea was first broached by its originator, there were those who at once ridiculed its very thought; but since it was carried through to success, and its later possibilities were develop ed, there is a different story to tell. The provisions whereby a chance is given for the students to assemble every week have shown that the "stick-together" plan is a desirable one, and one to be followed out, not only during the balance of this year, but during the coming years as well. However, there are certain precautions that should be gravely considered by the students at all times, and undue liberties should not be assumed. But let the good work continue! FeNwship and good comrade ship are the biggest things to be secured fOin college life. We look forward to many pleasing gatherings duriag .„ the rest of the college year, and trust that much good will result frotu them.

METZGER 'l5, I, PENN STATE COLLEGIAN PROFESSOR GARVER SPEAKS ON SCIENCE For such a general topic as that with which he dealt, Professor Garver, for want of a better title for his talk last night in the Tuesday Evening Lecture Course, called it "Some Aspects of Scientific Theories." Early in his talk, Professor Garver pointed out the varied and almost un limited field of human endeavor em braced in the term Science In an effort to make the subject more comprehen sive the Professor defined s- the term Science as "All that body of rationalized knowledge and comprehention of Na ture, including man and his activities, that enables us to adjust ourselves to our envn•oment, or to modify it by the application of our knowledge mid ex perience to the conditions mound us." Following . the delli»bon was an ex planation of what constitutes a scien tific method of investigation, and the Possibility of applying these methods of study and investigation to soetalogi cal and ethical research. Professor Garver brought forth that in our study of Sociology, we cannot lose sight of the fact that we have a Moral Law, the existence of which has been pi oved by actual experiment. While it is admitted that the Moral Law is a great facto• in the reducing of social ills to a minimum, Science applied to these ills would undoubtedly furthor minimize them. Experiment has show n that this fostering of the Moral Law is in accordance with the highest religious aspirations of man kind. Another point which the Pi ofessor emphasized was that Science is itself a phase of evolution later facts are based 'upon previous discoveries and proved hypotheses. In enlarging this thought, Pa ofessor CLu•ver showed his audience in what a logical and legal manner Democracy became the heir of Evolution. Appled to present-day con ditions, this means that Democracy is the only hope of any nation, and the nations of the wot Id must ultimately adopt the in ternatwhal relationship of Brothet hood of Nations.
