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.

Editor, COLLI3GIAN,
State Co'logo, Pa
CITE=
After rending In last v,eek'S Issue of
the COLLEGIAN concerning rho Senior
Week, I was much impressed with its
Potentialities. 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.

State College has been peculiarly fort

parties, etc. Among these might be
mentioned Hamilton's woods at the end
of Hamilton's Irmo, Fosters floods at
the end of Nlttany, and Fairmount aven
ues, and the college campus Is always
open for any out door gathering the
students may wish to hold.
Each of these places •is easily nee..-

rights of the places have been respected
But. there is no doubt that they could
