ducting Bible discussion groups, through the medium of Fraternities, *jvaek mi.*» to cv-mii .Martin nn .w\v That

and needs only the heartiest cooperation of the student body to bring
about great cnanges on the campus. Too many men lose what little i ■
Bible teaching they received under home influences when they conic to- .

This Bible discussion plan is therefore a very good one. It gives piikoikds aitkii m:w ' ( h

well received and many groups formed, there is no doubt but that*mmmitntivu work on the subject. i
considerable good to the members will result. At least high hopes are; . ; ——
entertained that such will' be the case. No person cap expect to getj
good out of such a discussion group unless he enters into the discus-i
sions with a whole-hearted desire for betterment. There is no doubt
but that a better spirit will be found on the campus because of these j
groups. Men will feel more lenient to their fellows when they learn
how to receive their various peculiarities. Men 'will leave off their lit
tlenesses, and the selfish desires they work out on others will.cease.
Penn State needs the Bible discussion groups and will benefit greatly
thereby. Student cooperation is necessary and should be given
because the entire project is meant entirely for student betterment.

WHAT THE R. O. T. C. MEANS
That many men at Penn State do not realize what benefits the to
be derived from the R. O. T. C. has been demonstrated by the fact that
hardly ten percent of the members of the Junior class have entered
their names in the advance course offered hpre. There is little need;
for anyone to go into detail regarding the various benefits present-j
ed, because the larger facts about this branch of service convince:
one that it is an ideal way for/the average college student to aid;
himself in many ways while pursuing his college course. # j
Ever since the summer camp idea was initiated in 1913, Penn:
State men have been represented in various summer camps. It is
with great pride that the COLLEGIAN calls attention to the fact
that in these camps no matter what the size of the representation,
Penn State men were found among the most active and those mention
ed for highest honors both in military and athletic achievements. The
delegations have increased each year and next summer an even
larger number than ever is looked For. Penn State men are coming
their zeal and enthusiasm in this work has been second to none in the
to realize the benefits to be obtained throuugh the R. 0. T. C., and
entire gatherings at these camps.
Every junior who can do so should avail himself of this splendid I
opportunity for personal betterment. It is a duty»full of promise
of good to the country and to the individual. It provides the stu
dent with a type of training which is meant to build up his physical
and mental capabilities. It gives him considerable remuneration for
the small amount of work done. It provides him with clothing, any
portion of which is replaceable when it has been worn out. Certainly
the small effort he makes is overbalanced by the return. , Penn
State’s R. O. T.. C. stands as the second largest in this country.
Penn State men can and should place this branch of her activities at
the very top. They can and should avail themselves of the oppor
tunity to go into life not only with a Penn State training in profes
sions, but also with a high grade type of Penn State training in
military science and tactics. Thus they fit themselves for any emer
gency which may arise in the future.
During the past week the college experimental orchard has been
the scene of a number of nightly raids by parties in quest of apples.
Because of this fact the experiment'station is at a great handicap in
compiling its records of the amount of fruit gathered from the
various trees in the orchard. For those students who do not know
the purpose of this orchard, some explanation is necessary. The
plot was laid out a number of years ago with the express purpose in
mind of obtaining experimental data on the varieties of apples grow
ing there. "Each year this data has been accumulating and in order
to obtain maximum results, the data must be accurate. .Each apple
that is produced is weighed and accounted for. The students can thus
very easily understand that when apples are taken away, especially in
as large amounts as has been the case, that this data cannot possibly
jvar by .stiM. nts ot tlu' JVnnsyl-
It is nothing more or loss than stealing; a continued theft of college
i:,' siu.j. iu.s Aiumns ami property. In a court it would go hard with a man convicted of steal
ing another's property. Here the college can do nothing but trust to
: the student’s honor. Let us hope that in the future there need be no
K.jitor more occasions for reproofs such as these.

KREMLIN is the citadel of Moscow. The walls
of the triangular enclosure were built in the year .that
Columbus discovered America. Much of the history* of
Russia—a dark tale of intrigue, mystery and bloodshed—
was enacted in the Kremlin buildings.
The present Great Palace dates back only to Napoleon's
day, for his soldiers burned the old palace. There are two
Otis Automatic Push Button Elevators in the Great Palace,
‘i nerc is another Otis Elevator in the Nicholas Palace.
This i* eienifieant of the world-wide scope of Otis activi
ties. Friw the first crude hydraulic elevators to the mod
ern miracle of automatic vertical transportation, Otis has
led the wav and even now is. continually developing new
ana methods and machinery.

ninth: Hoffer. fifteenth and Davis,
eighteenth. This same team will leave
early In October to take part in the
larger judging contest at the National
