THE OLD SPIRIT
The mass meeting Inst Wednesday evening was indicative of what
Penn State requires throughout the entire year. It was the time for
student gathering in force, and for demonstration of student spirit
and zeal for the institution. It gave indication of the true feeling of
Penn State men and women toward those who have faithfully served
the college. It showed the newer students what the great meaning and
feeling is that underlies the success of student activities and enter
prises at this college
Let us have more of these evening mass meetings. Lcjt us have one
a week if it is possible The present critical situation of the football
season is a good example of this need. The men on the team and the
scrubs who work that these men may be better and more fit to play
on the varsity, alt need the moral support which can only be given
by a student body that is heart and soul in back of them. Penn State
men have always been true to the ideals of the college and with their
characteristic big-heartedness have given their support to those who
needed it most. Let us not fail in this present need. Every man on
that team ncedsthc backing of the student body. At the games, in the
classroom, on the street, give the men that look, that word, that feel
ing that means everything to them, that knowledge that you are back
of them, that will jnake this season and this college year even greater |
than ever bpfore. Students must forget All-American possibilities.
They must realize that the season is yet young and that the men are,
yet in the molding stage. They must realize that the team is not the
same as was the one at the end of last season. They must realize that
the really hard part of the schedule is yet to come, and that the men.
must be encouraged in their work if they are to do their best. Penn
State men have never failed to give their support. Give it now and
give it freely and give it with your whole heart. Back up the team.
After giving several weeks notice, the COLLEGIAN, at a gathering
last Wednesday evening, received ten applicants from the Freshman
class for positions on the editorial staff. A call had been issued for
both Sophomores and Freshmen and as a result, ten men reported,
none of them belonging to the seconc) year (lass. The result has
been very disappointing. Out of classes as large ns these two, cer
tninly more men should be found who have some natural ability or
at least some inclination toward newspaper work, even if it is but for
the duration of their cotlegc course. Surely there are more men in
the first year class who have inclinations toward that type of work.
The clnss is one which has been picked from the very best men in
high schools and preparatory schools throughout the state, and there
should be more who desire positions on the staff. The ten men who
have reported are a credit to the class. Is it possible that the Fresh
man class has but ten men who arc desirous of trying their abilities 9
Are there no Sophomores who have enough confidence in themselves
to be candidates for this work. Another chance will be given those
who were unable to be present at the last meeting. Next Wednesday
evening, another meeting will be held at the COLLEGIAN office at
seven thirty o’clock. Let us sincerely hope that at this time the
numbers will be greatly swelled.
There is only one way for the COLLEGIAN to become a first class
newspaper and a daily, which is the goal, and that is by receiving men
who arc desirous of undertaking the work. It is not an easy work
and is one which requires constant pegging away. But there are men
in the underclasses who are capable of doing the work. Where is
their spirit? Let us see a manifestation of it at the next meeting.
The COLLEGIAN wishes to congratulate the student body on the
excellent manner in which it supported the campaign for more funds
to support Penn State’s missionary in China. The work has been a
great one and “Daddy” Groff is to be honored for the great sacrifices
he has made of self, the denial he has placed on himself and the
willing way in which he carried on the Christian work in foreign
lands. He has been a great factor in the building up of the Canton
Christian College and is educating and relieving the primitative condi
tions of the people of the district in which he has worked. He has
done a worthy work with Penn State in back of him. Penn State
should be proud of him and proud to have been the indirect cause
of all this betterment. Those who have not yet filled in their pledge
blank should do so at once and have the great consolation rest upon
their minds and hearts that they arc having a part in this great work.
Penn State should have a student county club representing every
county in the state, from which students are attending this college.
Several of our largest counties are without active organizations here
and the students from these counties should get together and organ
ize one or reorganize the old one and make it a live wire club. There
is a great work for the county clubs both at Penn State and at home
and it should be every Penn State man and woman’s special duty to
see that they do their utmost for the collegt. The COLLEGIAN
feels sure that those who have the love of Penn State 'at heart will
arise and make these organizations worth while. Educate the people
of the state to the work of the Pennsylvania State College! It is
surprising how little the people know of this wonderful place. It is
your duty to inform them of all things pertaining the college. Get
busy, county club members. It's for Penn State.

WORK BY STUDENT POET
IN COLLEGE ANTHOLOGY
Awarded Place in Yearly Publica
tion Representing Best Work of
Many Students.
When tho anthology of college poetry
for 1020 comes from tips press. Penn
Stato will bo represented In It with a
poem b> J. Cordon Amend, entitled.
"To My Mother."
Each year the Stratford Publishing
Company of Boston, Mass., publishes
a book entitled "The Poets of iho Fu
ture " Tho selections In this \olumo
are ones which have been chosen from
a ■vast material sent from tho various
American" colleges In competition. In
pievloun Issues the work of Harvard
and Yale men has figured prominently,
some of It worthy of favorabto com
ment. Last- year, on nccount of war
conditions, tho book was not published
and this Ihhuo will contain a choice
selection of literary works contributed
since the laat publication. It wHI
Lome from the press next month and
will undoubtedly I>o the cause of much
comment in college literary' circles.
Mr. Amend ism graduate student In
the college this year, and Is pie|KU -
tng for the degree of Master of Arts
In tho English Department. Ills poem
follows'
To My Mother
The groat, wise man sat very still
And looked down at the world—
Confusion —chaos—every
Pigmies meie of empires strong
Wheie manikins do hold tho throng
Of nations In their grasp
"Futilo world." the wise Man said
And turned his head
As if to hide the Hlghtloss picture that
it made—
. And then ho thought—as to himself —
'•But In tho wisdom of our God
That world was mado
So somewhere, dwelling In all that
labyrinth of life.
Is something that Is In itself of beauty
—lore
And is apart from nil tho Idlo strife.
And so tho wise Man left tho Heaven
Gates ajar
And Journeyed earthward—many days
and far—
Into tho "Ways of Man
To find that thing of beauty—love .
That dwelled npnrt therein.
Long, long days and endless nights
Ho searched tho world from zone to
zone
I And then returning In Ills grasp
With throe things to Ills throne —
Three things Just —from all tho world
His searching price to pay—
A baby's smile—a Mother's love—
And the sunslilno of a summer’s day
Three treasures Just—from all the
world—
Ho looked nt them again
His priceless treasures three—
And lo' tho threatening clouds of rain
Had. stolon all the sunshine from his
day—
And the baby's smile had faded to n
frown—
Two trensuroH gone—
The Mother's love nlonc was left to
crown.
With tho ono thing earthly In his grasp
Tho fruits ofrall his pains
■Ho wallted-'i %V tho Oates njar—
Thu world was not In vain.
