WELCOME ALUMNI AND VISITORS
The COLLEGIAN, in behalf of the students and faculty, extends
to every Penn State alumnus, every person who has ever been to
State College and every visitor here for the first time, a most hearty
welcome. One of Penn State’s great days it to be this Saturday. You
are here for a part in it and from wherever you come and whatever
your aifiliations may be, Penn State greets you and bids you join in
this celebration of the Home-Coming Alumni
To the alumni and former students who return, we have but to say,
this is your college, your former home, the place where you received
your first inceptions of what college life means. Much will be new
to the eye of those who have not returned for some years. The col
lege has grown with leaps and bounds and many students have pass
ed through its portals, but the old Penn State spirit is still here; the
old love for the college under Nttany’s vale is still prevalent and will
be as long as the college stands. “Proxy” while retired from the ac
tive duties of his office, is still here and the salute you were wont to
give him of former years is still one of Penn State s cherished cus
toms. Wo are proud that you arc returning to renew your acquaint
ances with the college. We arc proud that since your day Penn State
has ever maintained the high standard it had when you left and that
the future bids fair to making your college the greatest in the coun
try In this work you can have a great part. You, by being organ
ized, can impress on the peoples of your ioccalitics the work this col
lege is doing for the state and country and the neep that is present
to carry this work to higher planes of efficiency. You can help Penn
State As loyal students this is a privileged duty and we know that
you will do it.
To the many visitors who will be m our midst during this week end
to partake of the numerous events scheduled, we also desire to say
that this is THE State College of Pennsylvania and that it is the
college of the people of the state The people therefore are greatly
.interested in its welfare* We invite you to partake of the joys of
fered here over the week end, the wonderful benefits to be secured
for peace of body, mind and soul in these wonderful Nittany hills,
and nsk you to carry your message to the peoples of the State.
PENN STATE SPIRIT EXEMPLIFIED
At Penn State we have always felt proud of our wonderful college
spirit and have always been certain that it is one of the great factors
in the building up and in some cases the molding of student lives
for service to the world after college days. This belief has in no wise
been lessened. On the contrary, two splendid examples slant be
fore us It is the spirit which has been shown all year by the Captain
of the football team, Harold Hess, and that which has been so greatly
exhibited by Clarence Beck, the star lineman. Changed, at the beg
inning of the season, from a backfield position to a place on the line,
Hess went to his work wit an acquiescence that was remarkable. The
same was true of Beck when he was shifted to a post on the line.
This change did not come about because the men desired to play on
the line. On the contrary, both are essentially backfield men and
like to play there It was through Coach Bezdek's agencies that these
changes came Bczdek saw Beck’s place on the line Inst year as well as
this year. He felt the need and Beck soon realized that the team
needed him at that place and went to his task with the sme alacrity
which was characteristic of the spirit shown by the Blue and White
captain this year There were large gaps to be filled on the line and
Hess saw that for the team’s good he should endeavor to fill the post
with credit and said nothing of the sacrifice which it was costing him
to make the change.
That there was sacrifice on the part of these men in making the
changes there can be no doubt. No backfield man likes to play the
line. All hopes of performing in a stellar role in back of the line
had to be given up. Many would perhaps question why they should
have done it. There is but one answer. It was for Penn State. For
the good of the team and for the greatest glory of the Blue and White,
they gave up their personal hopes and took the ositions asked them.
However, in this new post Hess has been imprqving steadily and will
be one of the greatest assets on the Nittany line this year. Beck
proved himself to be as great a lineman as he was n backfield man
and his work has been the crowning feature of the Lion’s line. Yet,
it matters little what glory they win for thcmsevles at their posts
throughout he season, the fact that they made the changes and made
them williqgly and for the good of the team, personifies Penn State
spirit. That is where the real glory lies. . •
The spirit of self-sacrifice is a splendid example to Penn State
students, especially to the newer men. Through this medium they
may learn the true meaning of the works of many of the students
of this college and to look upon their work as of such character as to
benefiting to the college alone. Personal glory is a trait which few
should strive for, unless it carries with it a desire for the good and
glory of others. The mere fact that a man may make the team or some
other organization representative of Penn State is nothing when com
pared to the fact that in making it he did it for the good of the
organiation and the college Freshmen should bear this in mind
when entering activities. Work for the good of all while working for
your own good and in that way you make for a better all as well as
a better self.
A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR
Penn State is indeed fortunate in having for a major participant in
the Alumni Day events and principal speaker at the Alumni smoker in
the Armory Saturday evening, so noted a personage as the Governor
of the State of Pennsylvania. The COLLEGIAN is united with the
student body in extending Governor William C. Sproul and Mrs.
Sprout a rfiost hearty welcome to Penn State. Wc hope that the dis
tinguished guests shall enjoy themselves with us in this great cele
bration and favor us more often with their presence. Penn State as
ns well ns the people of this state, is back of the Governor in all his
enterprises for making this state the greatest in the Union and knows
that the state’s chief executive is the man who is most desirous of
placing the state and its .educational institutions on a higher plane.
Because a number of students threw peanut and chestnut hulls on
the floor in the vicinity of their scats at the mass meeting held in the
nuditirium last Friday evening, the Athletic Association experienced
some difficulty in .obtaining that hall for the mass meeting of this
week. However, permission was granted at length and it is the earn
est request of the Association that the students be more careful in
their conduct at the meetings. In most cases the acts have been done
unconsciously, at least those who were relieving themselves of the
hulls gave no thought of the dirt they were making or the trouble
which would be experienced in cleaning the Auditorium. The COL
LEGIAN feels that this little warning will be sufficient to cease all
such actions at* once The students will realize that no more work
should be made for others than necessary and inasmuch as this is es
sentially not necessary, the practice should be stopped.

The Fastest Growing Store in State College
Some of the alumni returning for
alumni day ■will recall when our store
occupied only a.few square yards of our
present quarters. In 1914 we made a
very small beginning, starting with only
a few agricultural books. At this time
the present owner was a Junior in col
lege, taking care of the business during
vacant hours during the day.
The need was so great for a real' Stu
dent Supply Store that we decided to
continue the business on a much larger
scale after-graduation in 1915.
Our present business is very small in
comparison with the business we are
planning for the future in order to serve
the needs of a student body numbering
10,000--rand it’s only a few years until
the student body will reach that number.
Watch us grow as the college grows.
