Member of Intercollegiate Newspaper Association FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1921 News editor this issue BOXING AND PENN STATE The boxing season at Penn State that has just ended has been the most successful one that the college has yet enjoyed. True, ii is but the second season in which the college has upheld the sport on an intercollegiate scale, but that fact alone makes it all the mon a decided success Right here we wish to say that Coach "Dick" Harlow and his boxers deserve a very great amount of credit ana honor for the wonderful record that they have given Penn State this season. Ever since boxing was conducted on any scale at all at this college, "Dick" Harlow has been one of the foemost men in its uplift and his efforts have finally resulted in placing the beloveu name of our Alma Mater higher in the sport realm of the country. The splendid relationship that existed between coach and men and the wonderful spirit that marked the whole work of the boxers this season is another true example of what we want more at Penn State—truer types of college spirit Several splendid examples of sportsmanship and love of the college presented themselves durin6 the season, when upperclassmen, with hearts full of love for the sport resigned themselves to the non-participation in some of to ...pouts so that the plans of the coach might better be carried out. Per sonal resignation, when for the benefit of the whole, is a rare virtue, and such cases deserve the honor and admiration of the entire student body. Penn State's boxers were gentlemen of the sport every minute they were in the ring and the high name of the college, in sportsman ship, as well as many other things, has received another boost We look over the past season with a great deal of satisfaction and because of that anticipate a future that will be brighter still and that will place boxing and Penn State higher in the scale among du_ colleges of this country. • CHOOSING AN OCCUPATION Penn State women students have been very active in obtaining for themselves a period when they can hear men and women of na tional and international reputation in their various professions and works on matters that concern to a very great degree the future work of the women themselves. They have demonstrated that they, at least, have an interest in what the various pursuits open to women mean to the world at large and what opportunities present themselves as inducements for college women to enter these professions as life works. They have succeeded in having many noted personages come to the college next week and have thereby prepared themselves fora guidance that can but be beneficial to them Without question vocational guidance should touch every stu dent. Every man and woman should 'really know what each course of study ultimately leads to and what its possibilities and responsi bilities are. Such explanations should come from persons whose knowledge is not only theoretical, but essentially practical and which has been derived by close contact with that profession in its relation ship with the work of the world. Vocational guidance should also be applied to men students. It is indeed unfortunate that the plan was taken up by the men students at a time too /ate for it to meter laze, but hopes are held that next year the men of the college may also have such a conference, when men of national reputation, who have made a success in their certain line will come to Penn State and speak of the phases of their work Too many students come to college with no definite end in view. There is too much changing of courses, a shifting about that is often detrimental to the student Imaginative hopes, that often have . a false start, cause many of these changes and a man will enter on a new course of study with but a very hazy idea'as to what it really will bring him In this day of advanced learning and highly trained members of professions, it is of prime importance to the man that he know what he desires to do, and that he remains with his work to an ultimate conclusion A wavering course will never bring one anywhere. The number of men who complete a course of study and then enter upon a work that is absolutely unlike that which they pre pared for, is too great, and while circumstances often prohibit a man from entering his chosen field immediately after graduation, he should take such matters into consideratimi at an earlier date and shape him self accordingly. The meetings next Week will, it is expected, give students a clearer insight into numerous professions They will not give everyone the secret to success They , are, however, a step in the right direction—a lead to the time when men at Penn State shall also hear men in professional life and learn more of the professions they have chosen The conferences, while intended primarily for the women stu dents of the college, will also be open to the men and the programs include a number of interesting subjects that will be of equal im portance to the men The COLLEGIAN urges that as many attend as possibly can do so. It will be well worth their while. STUDENT URGES HONOR SYSTEM BE RETAINED Declares That Abolition of Sw tern Would Mean Disgrace for Every Penn State Student- -.AsoOdom Editor _\V ti Lolnbach .21 To the Editor or The COLLEGIAN In a recent issue of tour poser you punt a letter from Professor W D Ciochett condemning the wesent Hon or System in this college and udirocat. log Its abolishment. He goes further and says that. "If you put the Honor System out of this College, then you do not put out honor" It is on this last point that I totals to take Issue nith Professor Crockett I pant him that the present Hanoi System is n dismal failure in that it only applies at infrequent intervals and does not apply to any thing but formal qui=e9 Under the present system it is true that there are men, if they may be called such, who go through their college life pith one standard of honor betneen periods of eNaminaUons and one entirely different at examination times It is this mos who personifies the failure of the system to create or rather to foster honor, for honor cannot be created It either °Nista or it does not. At its very roots the opposition to the system is based on this fact for if ne believe them, it Is a fact The °PP. - titles to the ElhhOr System rightly OP noses that system which will permit of a double standard of honor and as such a system the present Honor Sys tem must go. No one, not even an ar dent supporter of the present Honor System can fall to tee the crushing power of their argument which is re lentlessly forcing the Honor System Into depredation. Tho opposers of the system -reason so far faultlessly then spoil their ar gument by saying "Throw the, 'useless thing 0.n . 0 . .), toe do not nant it with us Wo lota no honor by Lotting rid of It" Cut men and women of Penn _State. should we throw It [May without try- I=l D It.
