WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1919 News Editor For This Issue__ WHERE DO YOU PUT PENN STATE? There have been written reams of definitions of "college spirit," "love of college," and many such kindred phrases, many of them being couched in flowery language and poetic expression, and yet, have they really reached the heart of the term they sought to define. Are they not merely superficial expressions, evolved by theorists, rather than living creeds of practical men , We believe that such is the case We have often wondered just what Penn State means to the majority of the undergraduates. Last year a contest was held to ascertain the best definition of "Penn State Spirit" and many good definitions were turned in. And undoubtedly, they did define "Penn State Sun it" as well ns it will ever be defined in words or phrases, for we believe that the real Penn State Spirit can not be defined It must be lived. Where do you put Penn State" , Ask yourself that question and answer it honestly and fairly. Where have you placed Penn State in your actions while in college, for it is in actions, not words, that this must be Judged. Have you placed your fraternity ahead of the col lege, or have you worked for yourself ahead of everything else? Be honest, have you' A cei tam Pcnn State man was once asked•the question that stands at the head of this column and his answer is one that we be lieve should be the creed of every loyal Penn State man. He said, "Boys, remember this. 'Your college should always come first, your fraternity next and yourself last. If you live up to thiethen you have rc idled the ideal Penn State Spirit, for love of college is shown only in actions, not in loud words." And it is with the hope that these words will be taken as the personal creed of every reader, that the COLLEGIAN uses them here. Put yOui college first. When you are playing on n team, forget your self and give all you have to old Penn State. When you are out for some other line of activity, try not to consider merely the honor that may fall to you, but by to do what you can to advance the interests ;of—) our-Alnta-Aater, -When eoii do this, there is a much deeper sense of gratification than accrues from all of the personal honors you may attain. Put Penn State first and yourself last—that should be the slogan of every Penn State man and the goal of every act. WHERE DO YOU PUT PENN STATE' BRING THEM BACK Last week we were told that many former students had returned to college with the opening of the second semester and more have been arriving every day, until the total is now close to three hundred. Can you imagine what this means to an institution?„ Can you im agine what it means to Penn State' It is these old men, many of them in the Senior and Junior classes, who have been missed at Penn State for the last year or two and vie arc more titan glad to see them return. With a college where student government plays such a prominent port as it does here, the responsibility for preserving the good name and the tra ditions of the college rests largely with the men of the upper classes. The nosence of the greater part of these classes was seriously' felt last tall when the Juniors and Seniors were out-numbered about sn to one For 'that reason, we are glad to see these old men re turning to their Alma Meter , But there is still another reason for which we are glad to wel come them back, and that is because they have ')‘en broad-mined enough to see that they need the college as much its the college needs them. They ate going to grasp the opportunity to finish their course and become graduates of the best college in the country Would that more of these "old boys"—the most of them real men now, for they have been through a hard school during the past two years—were coming back! Can we not do our part in bringing them back to old Penn State? We can certainly help Write to them, urge them, con% them, send them news of the old college and see if we can not yet many of them back next fall The college needs them, but stilt more do they need the college. AS TO CHEATING Whcit a man clients on an examination or quiz, who is the sufferer? Is it the instructor, as so many would seem to think? It most assuredly is not, for the grade of an individual man means little or miming to his instructor, whether it is acquired honestly or other wise. Is the man himself the one injured by cribbing? Emphatically yes! He is starting a habit that will stick to him during the balance of his life, and in the big things of life, one cannot afford to cheat for he will always be found out. But let us look at it from still another view-point. How about the men who try to be honest and play the game fair? Arc they not really the chief all? We think they are, for the dis honest act of one man in a class is a reflection upon the class as n whole Then why should those honest men be content to sit idly by and let another man with no sense of honor, smear their record by cheating. It shouldn't be necessary for one man to report another for dishonesty in a quiz—the entire class should run the guilty man cut of the college. Think it over.

It appeared to the that It would be a. good thing for the present Senior clear; to -take up and duplicate, and I therefore wish that you would place this matter before the students, especially the Scalers, through the me dium of the "Letter Box." All students who were at Penn State last year will remember the great non com that attended "Csarney's" Circus, which was probably along the same gen eral line as the feature above referred to, and personally I can see no reason for not endeavoring to duplicate It. If it could not be pulled off at any other time, It may be feasible to have it rts part of the Commencement Exercises Naturally, it would not be necessary to have It entirely a production of the Senior class alone, but I feel that it should be mainly their work, with, pos sibly. some assistance from talent from the other classes If this matter meals the approval of the student body, I could suggest that Student Council or tho Senior class ap point a committee of students to ar range an affair of thin kind, with tho assistance of ,Mr Doner of the Y.: If. C A., which I feel suro will be willingly given Hoping to see some action in thin mat ter within the near future, I will sign myself Sincerely Sours, - A Senior.
