CONGRATULATIONS!
The COLLEGIAN, Tor the student body, wishes to congratulate
the members of the varsity football team, the other members of the
squad and the coaching staff, for their wonderful work during the put
uridiron season. It was a long hard schedule which faced them at the
beginning of the school year and it was only with patient, “"dy'PS
determination that it was completed. That the year was successful
cannot be denied. The Blue and White men got off to a rather late
start but when they gradually had gathered the required momentum,
they were unbeatable combination. Not only was the squad group
of mu capable of carrying the name of Penn State to higher levels
but they were men whose work was characterized by that for which
this eoUege is noted, Penn State spirit. Sacrifices, trials, discourage
ments all came their way, were met and passed on. Penn State grit
rnd fikht won out and it is because of their great determination and
desire S to place her high among the colleges of this c ° untr y
honor them. In like fashion do we extend our regard to those men
who opposed them in practice, and who made it possible for the
to he what it was All honor to the scrubs. Theirs was a
hard lot, but they did their duty cheerfully, without a protest and with
the knowledge that it also was for Penn State. And then, in bade of
them all were the coaches, those men whose every hour was full of
concern for the men and with plans for bettering them so that they
would be better able to serve the college in their various capacities.
Loyalty emanated from all, coach and player, loyalty built up of the
choicest of ideals and dreams for the alma mater and her children.
They arc Penn State’s very own and are honored and will be remember
ed not only for'whnt they have done, but for the spirit m which it
was done.
FIRST IN A GOOD CAUSE
and Bonds for the benefit of the Pennsylvania Tuberculosis
Society. -This was in advance of Tuberculosis Day m the public
schools of the state, which is set for this Friday and Tuberculosis Sun
day in the churches on December fifth. In former years the little red
stamp has parried its message of health and good cheer wherevtr the
mails travel. It has been but a trifle for each one to affix to his
letters and packages this stamp of<fcealth; yet-this trifle has played its
part m restoring health and preventing contagion to hundreds and
thousands.
That there is great need for the prevention of this disease is n
fact patent to all. The war has greatty increased the number ofj
cases. Ninety-two thousand men, according to the New York Times, i
were found unfit for military service because of this disease;, nearly;
fifty per cent, more than were killed overseas. Yet, during the same;
time, 150,000 men, women and children dic'd in America with tubercul
osis. This disease, so treacherous and deadly, has ended for man}
what might have been a life of worth’and service to the nation.
The little red stamp with the laughing boy on the. shoulders of
“Santa Claus," bearing fhc message, “A Happy Christmas and a
Healthy New Year," will help to preserve human lives and will through
the education of public opinion put tuberculosis into the class of dis
eases almost unknown to the white race. It becomes almost a habit
with college men to receive much and give little. It has been a part
of our training to be good receivers. We pay about one-fifth of what
our education costs. Therefore it becomes us to seek continually
for opportunities to repay to society at least a part of what t)as been
given to us. The'Christmas stamps and bonds afford us another i
opportunity. It is but a little matter to affix these stamps to ourj
mail. Yet that trifle, if kept up faithfully by all of us until the New
Year, will help swell a fund which will be a power for good to the
commonwealth and the nation. Let us do our part.
THE GROWING FUND
Penn State students and alumni can well look Forward with pride
and pleasure to the erection of a new track house in the near future.
The wonderful impetus given this project last week at the Alumni
Smoker before the Thanksgiving Day contest is .the cause for much
rejoicing The matter lines up with other booms for a bigger, better
Penn State. Everyone knows the status of conditions financial and
otherwise at Penn State and it is gratifying to note how more and
more students and nlumni are realizing that they should play an active
part in this change for the better. It is a worthy project, that of in*
creasing the facilities of any college, and we may well point to this
as an example of what may be done later on with other projects, equal
ly as necessary to the college’s welfare and which, we hope will be
accepted by future Penn State men and women ns their’s to solve.

“Prexy” Tells Life

tho state. Vcrj Jlttlo Is known regard
ing tho education of the woman who
wns to become Mrs. Adams, but John
Quincy Adams received an excellent
education through tho aid of his fath
er. He traveled through Europe with
his father for two or threo years and
at tho age of fourteen becamo secretary
to tho American Ambassador to Russia.
Two >ears later he acted os secretary

the United States, graduated from Har

lawy or for a fow years, and finally was
appointed Minister to Spain by- Wash

In 1797 ho was sent to England to

What Is* Air'?
JRE 1891 every chemist thought he Imew what: airis. “A
lcchanicnl mixture of moisture, mtiogen and oxygen, with
:cs of hydrogen and carbon dioxide.” he would explain,
s so much oxygen and nitrogen in a given sample that he
itermmed the amount of oxygen present and assumed the
nitrogen.
reat English chemist, Lord' Rayleigh, found that the nitro
led from the air was never so pure as that obtained from
spound like ammonia*, What was the “impurity”? In
ton with another prominent chemist. Sir William Ramsay,'
covered in an entirely new gas—“argon.” Later came the
of other rare gases m the atmosphere. The air we breathe
ibout a dozen gases and g&SLous compounds.
study of the air is an example of research in pure science,
and Ramsay had-no practical end m view —merely the dis
' new facta. •
A'few years ago the Research Laboratories'of the General Electric
Company began to study the destruction of filaments m exhausted
lamps in order to ascertain how this happened. It was a purely
scientific undertaking.. It was found that the 1 filament evaporated
—boiled away, like scmuchwater.
Pressure'will check boiling or evaporation., If'the pressure within
a boiler is very high, it' will take more heat than ordinarily to boil the
water. Would a gas under pressure prevent filaments from boiling
away? If so, what gas? It must be a gas that will' not combine
chemically with the filament; The filament would bum in oxygen;
hydrogen woulcl conduct the heat away too rapidly. Nitrogen is a
useful gas in this case. It' does form a few compounds, however.-
Better still is argon. It forms no compounds at all.
Thus the modern, efficient, gas-filled lamp appeared, and so argon,
which seemed* the most useless* gas* in the world, found a practical
application. ' • s
Discover'new facts, and their practical application will take care
of itself.
'And the discovery, of new facts' is the primary purpose of the
Research of the General Electric Company.
Sometimes years must elapse before the practical'opplication of a
discovery becomes apparent, as in the case of argon; sometimes a
practical application' follows from the mere answering of a “theoret
ical”'question) as in the cose of a gas-filled lamp. But no substantial
progress can be made unless research is conducted'for'the purpose of
discovering-new’ facts.
