Member of luLrtullcgiuto Newspaper Association THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1920 News Editor for this issue EDDY AND PENN STATE Penn State should feel mighty pioud tnat bherwood Eddy is com ing in March. Proud, for several reasons; first, that this busy man wnen sparing time to work in only one college should come to Penn State, tor Sherwood Eddy is to do no student work except at Penn State; second, that Penn State as Sherwood Eddy knew it in 1915 was strong enough in every respect to warrant a return; lastly, that the opportunity tor introspection mid self-inventory is to be guided by a man of such inspiring personality and Christian vision as Sher wood Eddy Frank Buchman, one of the tnen outstanding as a leader among the Y. M. C A. secretaries of Penn State, used to speak of a "passion tor souls". Sherwood Eddy has this passion, not in a passive sense, but as an active, virile part of life His life shines forth with the radiance of the Master of Men. His appeal is not intended to be emotional and in the majority of cases is not. His appeal, however, is based on sound logic gathered unto himself in his wide experience. Can we afford not to carefully consider his message? Many people are prone to say that there is nothing to Christianity. How many of that kind have actually given It n trial 5 We cannot decide anything without a trial. Surely there can no harm come to any of us in being open-minded and receptive, and it may be that we will be a little better Let us eacli one resolve that we will give the message of Sherwood Eddy senous consideration. Such u resolve involves-only self and a bit of thinking will do us nil good. Penn State is indeed fortunate to have Sherwood Eddy here again. MAGAZINE CLIPPING AGAIN Some few students have again attracted public attention by their unutterable selfishness in going to the library and clipping articles indiscriminately there, both from current magazines and those on file. Apparently these individuals do not think that they are destroying property that cannot be replaced and which students in future years may wish to use. In this connection, a few quotations from an editorial in the COLLEGIAN last spring regarding the same subject is worthy of be ing read again: "For decades past, faculty and undergraduates have had all the privileges of the library, and could use the bound periodicals, etc.. whenever they so desired In future years, faculty and students will continue to exercise the privilege of using the library It is unfair, to say the least, that these coming college men and women should be deprived of rights that wc now possess It is difficult to describe the feelings of one, who wishing to look up a reference, finds that the article sought has been clipped by some selfish student who has preceded him—one who hus looked out only for his own interests, thinking only of the few minutes he would save by clipping instead of copying the desired information —one who has absolutely no regard for the rights and privileges of others—one who has not been big enough to look beyond his own small sphere—and one who possesses selfishness to the maximum degrsc. It is indeed hard to discover in what class of criminals such individuals should be placed." It should be borne in mind that any one so destroying property makes himself liable to prosecution by law Section 325 of the penal code of Pennsylvania rends as follows: "If any person shall,, unlawfully or maliciously, destroy or dam age anything kept for the purpose of art, science, or literature, or as an object of curiosity, in any museum, gallery, cabinet, library, or other repository, such person shall be guility of a misdemeanor, and being found guilty thereof, shall be rendered liable to pay a fine, not exceeding $5OO, and to undergo an imprisonment, not exceeding six months". Another serious matter pertaining to the library is the fact that students arc taking books without signing up for them—in other words they arc stealing thorn and are placing themselves in a class with thieves. Without doubt, the fault m both cases mentioned above, lies with only a few students. Their action may be done thoughtlessly or it may be done wilfully. In cither case, it is up to every student to keep his eyes open, and to stop any magazine clipping or book pur loining which may be done in his view. Will you do it? The COLLEGIAN is %ery glad indeed to welcome back to State College the chief executive of Penn State. Every student in col lege was delighted to hear that Dr Sparks had again returned to the President’s Office and to know that his condition is so much improved. Dr. Sparks has been absent from his official duties for some ten months and during that pci iod has spent much of his time m complete relaxation and we find him now m better physical and mental condition than for some years past. A word of commendation is due Dean Pond for the excellent way in which he transacted the business of the President’s Office m Dr. Sparks' absence and for his willingness at nil times to meet the students and help them with their difficulties and problems . Be sides having the duties of the dean of the School of Natural Science he dispatched the duties and business of the office in which he was acting in a most creditable way and so excellent was his adminis tration of the many details which arose every day that Dr. Sparks remarked upon his return to the office that "even the of the drawers in my desk are in the same order as at the time I left.” The action of those present at the boxing meet last Saturday evening is worthy of the highest commendation. The new intercol legiate rule, calling for silence while the bouts arc in progress was lived up to in splendid manner, made possible only through the thorough cooperation of all. Without doubt, Penn State is going to live up to the new rule in all the intercollegiate meets which are to come. .——Editor —AiwLstunt Editor ....—Sanlor Associate Editor —————Woman’ll Editor —————Business Manager —Advertising and Circulation Manngor K.
