WELCOME TO OUR PRESIDENT
The COLLEGIAN, in behalf of the student body of Penn State,
wishes to take this opportunity of welioming PFesident,Thomes to
his new cha'ige The arrival of our new President has"been` awaited
with eager anticipation by the entire'Colleie, and his entrance this
afternoon will be the sign far a demonstration in hisThoeor on the
Front Campus. Ever since the annountementlharDr - Thomas had
accepted the presidency, - the college hes been waiting for an opportu
nity to receive and welcome him to his-new duthes, and his arrival
this afternoon will be a time' of renigini,adinng:theyLelAinners of
Penn State The college has felt_the need of an executive since the
retirement of Dr Sparks and 'the tilling of the office by Dr. Thomas
promises much for Penn State.
The College seems bound upon a course of expansion and the
future holds possibilities little dreamed of •years ago. -
-The past ten
years has seen an enormous increaieiiithe reputation and - standing
of this institution and a corresponding increase iri'its'aefulness to
the Commonwealth. Under the leadership r ef`De. Sparlis",'Penn State
grew by leaps' and bounds until now it may be called a truly repre-,
sentative state institution, which, - it the''acipropiiation' now tinder
consideration is granted, will be able to serve the'people even more
fully, and will be on a plane of equality with any other institution
in the state. -
The present time is indeed a momentous:nue in
_the 2history of
the college. Penn State has passed through a period of remarkable
growth, and is 'now at the parting of the ways, waitiing'to decide
whether to progress still further until it is the leading university
in Pennsylvania, or whether it will say 'f;,We hiVe_gline,farenough"
and simply hold the position now attained. - -
-President Thomas is the man 'Who can lead Penn State to higher
'things. He is a builder and his recateuifiliddluburY„shows that, he
is capable of guiding this institution mats upward path. -, He comes
with the best wishes and the ties of' warm. , frien'dship from his as
sociates in Vermont to a field of great possibilities at Ponn:State.
We wish him success and extend,to him our friendship and coopera
tion, ant? our earnest desire is that - every year "of• his Presidency
may be filled with increasing joy and , the'satisfactioin of work well
done.
THE TUG-OF-WAR
The tug-of-war which will be held tomorrow afternoon en—Old
Beaver field promises to be one of the most hotly
,contested pulls
staged since the institution of this class scrap. The rivalry",boteeen
the two lower classes is at top pitch and the winner of 'this:contest
will surely earn the victory, if present'indications bearlany vieight as
to the determination of each side to•win:"Thii'contest is a valuable
custom, providing a safety valve for underclass rivalry, and will no
doubt compel the attendance ,of''every'itudent on - account of the
unusual rivalry existing. ' The enforcement of .the rules and regula.i
tons is in the hands of a committee of, students_ and it is the duty:
of every man to see that the rules are obeyed. Charges of unfair
ness have arisen in the heat of the struggle during past contests,
and if they are to be avoided, every one Must assist the committee
in the strict enforcement of the rules. '
NEW WOMEN'S EDITOR
As a result of the'annual election h4a at this time by, the women
students . of the college, the COLLEGIAN wishes to announnce a
change in the position of Woman's Editor, Miss Doris Browning '23
being the person 'selected by the girls' to represent' then' on the staff
of this publication for the next year ' 'The retiring 'Women's Editor
Miss Helen Field '2l, has served well . and- faithfully ,the 'interests
of the College and the COLLEGIAN' and' it 'is with sincere
that we announce her retirement Miss Browning, who will take up
her new duties immediately, is well qualified ,for her
_position and
will start her new duties with the best wishes •of the students she
represents. -
APPOINTMENT OF CARTOONIST
It is with gi•eat pleasure that we announce at this time the ap
pointment of Donald E. Magill '22 to the position of cartoonist.
This issue marks the appearance-of the first drawinng for the COL
LEGIAN, of this talented young man whose works are. by en means
unfamiliar to Penn State students through the columns of the col
