THE CRUCIAL TEST
The final examination period for thii semester is on. Students
will be occupied daily with work that closes their effort for the firsf
half of this year The outcome of every examination period since
the institution of the Honor System has been the detection and ex
pulsion of several students while others received minor penalties.
This result has not only been noted at Penn State. Other institu
tions have had like results Consequently it has often been a mat
ter of serious discussion as to whether or not the Honor System
really was a success anywhere and whether or not it is the best
system to pursue. 'I he best we can hope for this semi-annual period
at this institution is that each student will consider the matter from
every angle possible and give his whole-hearted support in aiding
in carrying out the system
The Honor System at this college has really been on test since
its inception. It still remains on test. If conditions continue such
as the Honor Committee met after the final examinations last June,
it will be wise to consider a change of policy. We certainly cannot
allow a continuance of such wholesale infractions as we have had.
The result of this period of examinations will have a vital influence
on molding opinion for or against the system
The COLLEGIAN and the Honor Committee have for years
stood hand in hand in trying to make for a stronger and more ef
ficient system, as well as in placing the matter before the student
body so that they should be fully informed as to its every detail.
There can be no reply that the students have not been educated suf
ficiently in regards to the system. Again, the majority of men and
women who come to college are from homes that are the best in the
country. Most of these homes are Christian homes and in all or
them, whether Christian or not, the idea of honesty and faith and
truth is given a great emphasis.
When one considers that the child receives these ideas .in its
very first training, that as it grows older they become more fixed
and in many cases even become ideals, it is hard to believe that this
child, when it enters college, will succumb at some time to the very
opposite beliefs from those that it has always had placed before it.
Life is so great, so large, fraught with so many varying phases that
it is without question that the average person must see and realize
the two different ways to proceed, and that he endeavor to follow
the right one, that which leads to and carries with it the very ideals
which he received from early childood.
Of course all persons do not hold to these ideals. That is
only too evident by example of the numerous eases of failures and
penal convictions of men and women in the world outside of this
college sphere. Unfortunate is it that the eases do not remain
without the sphere. But since we have them we must treat them
and the best way is for each conscientious student to do his part
when his test comes, and also to bear an influence on those students
who are weak, who fear that they may succumb no matter how sin
cerely opposed to it they feel, and those who naturally have an in
clination to be dishonest.
To these students who have cheated in past quizzes and have
not been detected and those who intend to cheat or are tempted to
cheat in the future or those who are weak and fear the temptation,
we say that no man or woman can honestly succeed in life, can hope
for the respect and' admiration of his fellows, can follow the teach
ings of Christ, and crib in his examinations.
What do father and mother mean to you? What does the
comradeship and friendship of college men mean to you? What
does self-respect, honor, love of the truth, Justice, hope for the fu
ture mean to you? Can you afford to fall down in such a test as
this?
You are molding your future life Yotir standards arc being
colored and you will later unfurl them. Will they be clean?
THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Penn State's Alumni , Association, at one time but a very small
organization, representative of but a few of the graduates and for
mer students, has during the past six years made such rapid strides
in its organization and work that at present it is a very vital link
between the college and these former Penn Staters and their var
ious groups. The Alumni Association is without questiqn the one
organization of men and women who have passed through the por
tals of this institution which can, when united, do big things for
the college The interest which has arisen during the past few
years has been indicative of the meaning and importance which Penn
State men and women attach to association with their Alma Mater.
Penn State means Just as much to them now its it did in former years.
Their association has helped them to keep in more intimate touch
with her and in this work much praise must be extended to the of-'
ficers of the association ns well as to all enrolled in its membership.
Those students who graduate from Penn State at the close of
this semester should by all means affiliate themselves with the Al
umni Association. The opportunities for velationship with the col
lege after they leave here for the various parts of the world where
their work will take them are such that the real Penn State man and
woman will not wish to lose them. Many men will be prone to let
the matter drop until some future date, but it will be wisest if they
will attend to it immediately. This fact is emphasized by the num
ber of letters received by officials and students of the college from
"old grads" in whose memory will always linger the interesting
items of their college days. You will wish to hear of the college
as soon as you leave. Take this opportunity to be an active alumnus.
In addition to these opportunities individually, there is a great
work for the college among the peoples of the state. The meeting
of representatives of the Alumni at the college last Saturday after
noon was indicative of the interest being taken and the plans for
work yet to be done for the college. Therein lies further chance
for service to the college, the state mid students yet to come to your
Alma Mater. Join the Penn State Alumni Association.

Edison Did During the War." Write
for it, if you can't call. ,

business and went to sea, hoW Edison's

submarines.
The bulletin tells many other things
Edison did while Chairman of the Naval
Consulting Board. lt explains how
Edison kept the price of his phonograph
at bed rock during an era of high costs
and soaring prices. Since 1914 the New

15%—and. part of this is war tax.
