A GLORIOUS HOME-COMING
What a memorable week-end has been this just passed! What a
glorious period m the annals of this college! Penn State has achiev
ed another rung in her climb on the ladder of success. A true Alumni
Home-Coming, it was not only n joyous week-end for the “Old Grads,”
but also for the, many friends of the college and for the present un
dergraduate body From the very beginning of the event until its
culmination, there was a spirit of fellowship, a spirit of love for the
college, a greater spirit of loyalty to Penn State, that was so marked
as to shadow any doubt that had even been entertained in regard to
the success of the affair. When first conceived, the idea was forced
to undergo severe nnalization before it wos decided that such a thing
was possible. Now there is no room for doubt that it will be suc
cessful and greater as the years go by.
Penn State alumni who were able to return for the great event will
ever remember these glorious days at the “Old College.” The success
of the athletic teams, the wonderful propositions made for the better
ment of the college, the great good, words expressed by men high in
the official life of this state, ail tended to place a hnlc of glory about
the entire Home-Coming. The Alumni who were able to return and
those who were not, but whose spirit was with Penn State, arc all to be
congratulated in their part of the event, making it a red letter day in
the history of the college. The COLLEGIAN wishes to express the
.sentiment,of the entire student body and the alumni in general in
commending the alumni present for deciding so favorably'on the
proposition of future Alumni Home-Coming celebrations. They are
assuredly a great thing for the alumni and for Penn State. They
keep the gruduates in closer touch with the college and promote a
continuation of the Penn State spirit which all received in their
undergraduate days. In no other way can the alumni of any college
receive a better conception of what is going on at their Alma Mater and
what is needed that it may ever keep in the front rank of American
colleges, than by coming home. It is our sincere wish that all alumni
might “come home" sometime each college year. There is little doubt
but that it would renew their association with the wonderful spirit and
the ideals the college has always had and will always have, and will
make them better fitted, and at least more jovial-minded to carry on
their work in the world outside of the college atmosphere.
The Alumni Endowment Fund is a feature which should call for
the most hearty support of the graduate students. It presents a plan
whereby each alumnus can return to Penn State approximately what
it cost the college and the state to educate him. No man can have
left this home among the beautiful Nittany Mountains and not have
received some value from his stay here. Now is the time for him to
repay in full for what he gained. The part tins fund con play in
providing Penn State with better and greater facilities for physical
training of her students and for achieving more glory in athletic
circles, has no limit Let it be the fervent hope of every alumnus
and every student as he becomes one of that numbef to be .able tp do
his utmost in aiding the college. The undergraduates have their
chance coming when it will be their time to pass through the portals
into that vast throng of men and women which represents Penn State
in the outside world. NOW is the time for the alumni.
CONGRATULATIONS
The COLLEGIAN wishes to congratulate every member of the foot
ball tenm on the glorious part he played in Inst Saturday’s game. It
was a strenuous work for each man and called for the best that was in
him. The entire contest was a hard clean fight and the best team won.
The old call of Coach Bezdek for "a little better than the best" was
fulfilled in that game. What it cost each player to go through that
contest, and what mental and physical effort he forced himself to pro
duce, is magnified when it is considered that it was done for the
glory of the team and for Penn State. It was another example of the
thing we all love, and a mighty one for the entire student body. Coach
Bezdek is to be congratulated for his work in producing the winning
combination and the student body is also entitled to commendation
for backing the team with the great faith that it did. We may well be
proud of our team because of its achievement, and while we must not
become too over-confident as to the remainder of the season, we must
continue to show the men just os much in future contests as at the
last, that Penn State students are in back of them to stay.
THE NEW “TjRAOK HOUSE”
Another glorious result of Alumni Day was the decision of the
former members of the Vnrsij Club and the letter men in general to
provide a fund which would start the ball rolling for a new home for all
college athletes. There is littlo need in saying more than that such
a home has long been a necessity here, nor should wc say more than
to emphasize the fact that it will be a greatly added feature in the
welfare of athletics at Penn State. It has been launched and the men
who had confidence and far-sightedness enough to begin it deserve the
gratitude and assistance of the entire alumni and undergraduate body.
It is but another beginning for bigger things at Penn State and that
in itself is enough to give it the mosst hearty support *
I Again, the wonderful words expressed by Gbvernor Sprout at the
mass meeting Saturday morning should be sufficient for each man and
woman to determine to aid their Alma Mater. The notice which so many
prominent men in Pennsylvania have lately bestowed upon the college
has given indication that something will be done to make it a greater
factor in the education of the sons and daughters of this common
wealth and that the people arc learning of their state college and what
it can and* should be. As His Excellency, Governor Sproul stated,
"You Must Help.” Thcretorc, let us .put our shoulders to the wheel
and then we may look for results.
