"T lAT THEY SHALL NOT HAVE DIED IN VAIN"
In the January number of "The Penn State Alumni Quarterly"
appear the names and photographs of twenty more Penn State men
who have been killed in action and the names of some twenty-two
additional who have been seriously injured. That we should forget
these men and the part they played in building Penn State to the
points where she now finds herself would be to fail to fulfill one of
'our deepest obligations. In the rush and hurry of bringing con
ditions back to.a peace basis we are prone to find ourselves think
ing too much in the future and not enough of the deeds of bravery
"over there" both of the Penn State men who have died and of those
who were ready to die had the call been given.
The COLLEGIAN thinks it proper that some fitting memorial
should be erected to these State men who have made the Supreme
sacrifice and those who have had their college work interrupted and
have only now been called back to pursue their studies on a peace
basis. Some memorial will surely be erected and we have only to de
cide just what shape such a memorial should take in order that it
may mean the most to the students and faculty of Penn State, and
embody the principles for which the men whom it commemorates
fought and died.
For years, the faculty, students, and friends of the college have
felt that one of Penn State's greatest needs was a social center
where all the members of the college family could gather and discuss.
on a truly human basis, student problems and problems which affect
the material and spiritual well-being of the college. It is a building
erected with this idea in mind and equipped so that it could carry out
that purpose that the COLLEGIAN suggests should be raised as a
memoriel to Penn State's sons who "went west" in -the great battle
for democracy. To fulfill the ideals for which a memorial stands, it
should be artistic, should render service, should be erected by the co
operation of all the members of the college, and should be designed
to render some defidite service. Such a memorial as is here suggested
would fulfill all these requirements.
We feel that such a building should have a large social ball
where the members of the faculty and the students could meet on the
the same basis; and where all-college dances and class dances could
be held. It should have rooms for the Student Governing bodies,
editorial rooms for the college publications, a banquet hall where
"get-together" affairs could be held and ample kitchen facilities
should also be one of the requirements. Does Penn State need any
thing more than just such a building which would be a union for
college activities?
'At the University of Michigan, this plan was adopted and a splen
did building, "The Michigan Union," was erected, costing in the neigh
borhood of 51,000,000. The funds for the erection of this structure
were furnished by the students, faculty, alumni, and friends of the
college. In this case the alumni furnished the bulk of the funds.
realizing that nothing better could be erected which would add to
the service which the urfiversty is rendering the state. Penn State
would need nothing so elaborate to meet the requirements here.
In the erection
_of such a building, the old adage of "killing
two birds with one stone" would be fulfilled. Not only would a fitting
memorial to Penn State's heroes be erected, but one of Penn State's
greatest needs would be realized. And to make it truly a Penn
State affair, we feel that the alumni of the college would be willing to
co-operate to make this Project a success while friends of the college
who have lost sons would surely lend a hand in financing such a
proposition. True to the ideals that were set forth in the "Get-To
gether Campaign" of last spring, we would suggest that a memorial
of this sort be brought about to commemorate the lives of those men
of Penn State who will never come back from the struggle, who ha
paid the supreme sacrifice, and to whom we and the nation owe a
debt which we will never be able to repay.
TO IMPROVE THE CAMPUS
In the hustle and bustle of our college work and the small
state of chaos which is the result of the S. A. T. C. regime, we are
apt to overlook such a minor matter as the sightliness and beauty of
our campus and college grounds. And yet, we believe that with but
a little care, a great change could be brought about and that the
appearance of the college could be improved greatly.
For example, our heat.tiful and artistic memorial gateway has
been defaced for some time by unsightly signs which tend to tell
the passer-by that we are having "business as usual." But why, is
it necessary to advertise that fact any longer? Any one who sees the
students wandering to and from classes would certainly know that
the college is running. Moreover, why should it be necessary to ad
vertise a thing when no one who knew Penn State would expect' any
thing else?
Another matter is the question of our various bulletins boards.
Several years ago, in order to save the trees and to help keep the
grounds front being literally covered with nondescript signs, the col
lege went to the trouble to put up neat bulletin boards at the junc
ture of the more important walks about the campus, while this year,
additional boards are to be found on the Co-op corner, where stu
dent and college notices can be placed.
It is true that the bulletin boards are being used for their right
ful purpose, but are they being used to their best advantage? Take
the board on the Co-op corner for an example. There are so many
different notices on the board at the present time that it is next to
impossible to read them unless you have plenty of spare time on
your hands. There are notices posted on that board which applied
to happenings before the Christmas holidays and yet they have never
been removed. There are other notices which are hardly legible
and which have been penciled up with additional remarks And notices.
The result is a low degree of efficiency.
Why not take a little pride in the appearance of our bulletin
boards, which arc undoubtedly a part of the college? Why not type
write all notices which are to be posted? Why not see that your
notice is taken down when it is of no further use? Why not elim
inate entirely notices which affect but a few students—at least from
our sidewalks? These are all points worth considering and the
COLLEGIAN believes that they will tend to improve the appearance
of our college campus.
'The Hazing Tribunal has proven that it is quite on the job and
ready for business, but it behooves every Sophomore and upper
elr.ssman to see that the college and class customs are observed. Last
year. Student Council added a custom for the Freshmen which pro
s ided that each Freshman shall speak to every other Freshman when
passing in the halls and on the street. Thus far we have failed to
observe any inclination on the part of those concerned to live up
to this rule, and it would be well for the Sophomores particularly
to see that it is enforced.

tically every man offered his services
to Uncle Sam immediately after grad
uation, and was in the army serving
either at home or overseas until the
end of the war. Many entered otters'
training schools and in the majority of
cases received commissions. A perma
nent record in kept of each graduate at
the •Alumni Office, but the following
list may he somewhat inaccurate, as
many of the men have been discharged
from the army, but have not yet given
notice of their present address and oc
