With these and other academ ic ideals pressing upon him. tho stud ,itil seeks to eliminate ail that is un necessary and all that is profitless, in older that he may accomplish the ser ious task which college education means. "Il is a curious proof of tho power of these academic ideals that most of our Collettes have been obliged to es tablish compulsory forms of physical exercise in order to prevout our young men from neglecting their bodies, and yet those who sire wise and tvho look nt life in retrospect realize that the Ikhl.v may J»*t in* sacriiiced without ul timately weakening tint lmsis upon which mental activity rests, and that at least a moderate amount of lime given to tho perfection of the body is a direct aid in the cultivation and strengthening’ of the mind. ••(ino problem in all tho vast and httr- 1 ried preparation of the Into war ipre- 1 sented Itself with peculiar force, the selection and training of olliccrs. in ordered series of ranks its organization reaches down from the supreme com mander to lily private.

They must be men whoso characters command res pect. whoso minds and bodies are dis ciplined. and wiio In the hour of em ergency can grasp the details of com plex situations and make accurate dec isions lu tho interest of the safety and success of those entrusted to their care. The training of otllcers is there fore based upon a more careful sel ection and a more prolonged discipline titan is nsiuircd for tho larger group of men who make up the rani* of hie of tile forces. Tho ollleor must know more* than his men and his knowledge must ho usaldo knowledge, knowledge acquired by experience ami habit. In answer to tho belief that the H. O. T. C. Is an attempt to foster a military spirit among younger Amer icans, Secretary linker asserts that M \Vo are not seeking'to encourage a military spirit by Introducing element ary military training into colleges.. In deed, thoso who know most about war nro those who most earnestly seek to avoid It—only tho ignorant or tho wicked could light-heartedly seek to embark their nation in war under mod ern conditions—but wo are seeking by the establishment of tho' Reserve Ofll cers’ Training Corps to give a great body of young men a basis upon which il Penn State Billiard Parlor | Welcomes You Candy “When it Happens We Have It” Come down and get a pho tograph of every student activity and keep a photo graphic record of your col lege days Tt, A DENN QTATE ine r H oTo oh op Electrical Supplies Everything Electrical We Aim to Please and Give You Service TELL US YOUR WANTS AND TROUBLES : : : ELECTRIC SUPPLY CO. j 123 FRAZIER STREET 8 |(\m bo huiV. r:ii>;icUy for rommruitf .imll ! : should Ji national emiTK •m-y i their service." 1 “The Yl.

"The reactions of tho II O. T.

The ollleers at these schools ami t*olU*ges have opportunities far heyoml those whielt come to ollleers <>f initial rank whit troops. They have 10-avy responsibilities of an adminis trative amt executive character. They a;.: railed upon to adjust themselves to other intetv is and to exereiso tact, ; diplomacy, ami authority to a degree that does not route normally to re'gl nt;i ■:. 1 ofilecrs with troops in time of \ peace. in their association with the : faculty rju-mhers they are brought into 'close rojil.Ht wiih men of culture amt ; high education, and association which I can not hut prove stimulation.

The seientille and lab oratory facilities provided at the in ! sLitutions, particularly in the engineer land technical departments, utter an op -1 portunity for tin* development of ittl : liro\ed methods of instruction. Tho ■ units of the different arms in the in i siUuthm an* placed in positions of ! relative comparison with another, in i the o.ves of the faculty and students, ‘and this unconsciously stimulates the respective oiihvrs to improve ami en rich thi-Jr courses. In the large land grant institutions, where the enrollment is upwards of i.f»iHt students and where there are four or more different units, the senior ollleers duties are more clif fj.-ii.’i ,»f successful fuliillmeul than would he tlx* case were lx* eommandlltg an Army brigade in time of peace. Of ficers of conspicuous ability and of high military accomplishments are needed to effectively devetope ami dir ect such military departments. It is worthy of note that the coeduca tional system of education at many of tinlnstitutions affords opportunity for famifi trlzing the future leaders of women voters with the benefits of mil itary training. Secretary Halter went on to explain that there was likewise a great need of traned men to till the commissioned ranks in tho lower grades. He says "Jt is expected that the principal source of such procurement In the future will he found in the U. O. T.. C. Tho year ITJii is the first in which an appreci able number of students has completed the advanced course and the requisite Cigars | . 5 Tobacco number of ramps to make them elig ible for commlsslns In the. Reserve Corps. “It Is thought thfit probably R.OOft represents the maximum JJgure which the R. O. T. C. may be upxocted to an nually provide. Assuming that the usefulness of those so commissioned will on tho average continue for about ten years. It becomes evident that this rate of production must he constant ly maintained. The R .0. T. C. has only been In .active operation about three years, and ns yet not enough students have completed the prescribed course to provide reserve ollleers In any number approximate the above figure. It is hoped to obtain this year about three hundred. This number will materially increase each year until the* maximum figure is reached. “Recent legislation definitely fixes tho status of ollleers of Reservo Corps and It is thought that a considerable number ofthu 1920 graduates will apply for ami ho granted commissions. In dune. 1920, 952 students completed the advanced course, and of these, 453 are considered eligible for commissions. “Tiie R. O. T. C. while in the third year of its existence, lias enjoyed so ex cellent a year this last that in the future it can Iml increase in its bene ficial seopo. It lias increased in favor with hath students and the education al authorities. A high standard of tudent esprit and morale has develop- cd in many institutions and constant efforts are made to support and in crease this spirit wherever the units are in operation. •‘lt is required that every student who outers the R. c.>. T. C. he subjected to a rigid physical examination am! this has resulted In many cases in ro- •aling physical defects of which the student was either Ignorant, or to which lie had remained indifferent. The early correction of such defects and the appreciation of their seriousness lias thus been nude possible. At IVtui State, as it is at many other institutions where military training is compulsory the first two years, the work with tho upperclassmen is purely voluntary. Over one hundred students took up the advanced R. O. T. C. work last year and aiuut thirty profited by tho summer wimp at Camp Devons, Massachusetts, In regards to those who cease training after the first two years. Secretary Linker says: "A young man who completes hut two years training Is not qualified to re ceive commission and although his ex perience should constitute something of an asset to the country for nntionai defense, it is. nevertheless, not a ful- fillment of tho purpose of the R. O. T. C. The course or the student through tho U. O. T.

O. T. C. curriculum which elicits probably tho greatest degree of interest from the students themselves and from the gen eral public, is that connected with sum mer training vamps. For the Americ an man and hoy there is something fas cinating in tlie Idea of going under canvas: of getting away for a while from the softer side ami of getting Into tlx* elemental atmosphere of our life, it is inspiring evidence of our national hardiness and a state of mind deserving of the most sympathetic con sideration. This desire for contact with the great out-of-doors lends it self most effectively to the needs of the broader military training, possible to accomplish only when those to he Instructed can he separated from the distracting fntcrcstts of every day af fairs and placed in an environment cal culated to bring their mental and phy sical energies to hear upon the busi ness in hand to the desirable degree." “It is fundamentally important that the students of the military arts and sciences shall actually live tho life of tlx* soldier, partake of his hardships, and get to know his problems and their solutions, in order that there may he formed in tho students' minds a cor rect attitude toward these tilings and a lively conception of duty and a sense of comradeship which are Die elements that cement tlx* members of.a military body ami make it strong. “The results attained have given ample reason for the belief that the system is fundamentally sound as a peace time measure for tlic training ami procurement of prospective per sonnel for tlx- Ollleers Reserve Corps. The U. O. T. C. at the I’ennsylvnnia State College Is. therefore, part of a nation-wide activity. Students from this institution who enter the Reserve, with commissions as ollleers, will find themselves members of a company gathered from all over the nation who stand ready and are trained to serve should an emergency arise. In addl- Don to that, they will find that some- thing has been added by this training' to their general equipment. The mind j often takes Us color from the habits ] of tlx* body; skill of finger*, deftness of j touch, speed in running, strength ofj amts, are all qualities upon which the mind learns to rely and from which! it acquires characteristics in Us own operations. The experience of the groat colleges hi this country which have maintained K. O. T. C. units shows that the men who participate in the mili tary activities are most successful as students, perhaps because a disciplined mind and a more confident intellectual operation. Is tlx* natural accompani ment of a diseiplnlcd body. “As the years go by. and the list of Reserve ollleers Increases, we see one of our national problems being an swered. The. ollleers will ho ready should the emergency come. Mean while. the men who constitute that safeguarding force will he pressing on in their various business activities, vir ile, vigorous, and strengthened by the , discipline and experience which their training for the national service will have added to their education.
