THE NEW LEADER
Penn State hear's with joy and appreciation the announcement
that a new president for the college has been chosen. After long
months of waiting, of performing the dtittes of the office, and of
searching for the man who is best fitted to carry on the work that
through the past twelve years has so ably been built up by Dr Sparks,
the Board of Trustees has selected the president of Middlebury Col
lege, Vermont, Dr. John Martin Thomas.
The college is glad, very glad that Dr. Thomas has consented
to take hold of the work here and it is with much hope in the future
that all, faculty, alumni and students look forward to the arrival of
the new leader. Penn State, beloved by all who have known her,
must go forward The college must becOme THE college of the
state, primarily an institution that is the peopleS'. Until that is
accomplished, we have fallen short Of our task, no matter what our
position, whether legislator or embryo citizen
Hopes for the future may well be high Dr. Thoinas has, through
his twelve years of service at the helm of Middlebury College, built
that institution from one of the smallest in Vermont to one of the
most influential and important. The educational world knows him
as a "builder". His ability both in educational and business au.
ministration has made him the outstanding choice for the post ne

fairs outside of the work of his office at Middlebury College, but is
prominent throughout the state as is testified by his being a delegate
at the last Republican National Convention.
Penn State needs just such a man. The work that has been
done by Dr. Sparks in the past, the institution which has been built
so rapidly since 1908, has reached such a . size as ,to command very
diligently the services of a man with far reaching 'ideas and possi,
bilities for service. We feel that in Dr ThOmas Penn State has the
man who can magnify the power and importance of the college and
who will "carry the college of the state to the people of the state"
with ever increasing significence to them as the years go by
The Department of Music of the college is deserving of high
commendation for their part in bringing to the students and faculty
such a noted musician as, was heard last Sunday afternoon in the
Auditorium. It is music of this type, as it is with literature, science
and art of the highest worth, that makes for a broadening influence
in men and women We should strive to avail ourselves more of
such opportunities College days, after all, are short, and after
life a very serious problem What we get out of. these four short
years will have a mighty influence on our work hereafter. It is a
good plan to get all you can and the best you can out of all that is
presented
The COLLEGIAN again wishes to call attention to the fact that
this evening candidates will be received for the editorial staff of this
publication. Without further ado about the "whys and wherefores"
of work of this nature, it may be stated that only men who really are
interested, who are willing to work and obtain something that will
be of material value to them at some later time, need' apply. The
future status of the paper and its relation to the students to come is
always determined by the men who , begin at the bottom of the ladder
and through merit, and merit alone, win out. , As, our hopes and
prayers for Penn State's success go out, we place with them the stu
dent publication and trust to the younger men of the college that
they take their responsibility and realize upon it, not only for them
selves but for the college.

Just as he has apparently finished an
act, he performs another just as per

also performs twice as many teats as
the average magician. His talk Is in
