INVENTORY
With the close of school only one month away, the time has
come for a final stock -taking by every student to find out where
lie stands, to discover whether he has spent his time profitably and
mastered his work, and whether he is ready for the final test. The
year is nearly over; all that remains is a short period for the sum
ming up of the semester's learning and a brief preparation for the
inevitable examinations
• The man who has done his appointed task
through the past months has an easy path ahead of him, and need
not be concerned with the approaching tests He has accomplished
the work set before him and may 'rest assured of the permanence of his
knowledge He has done well But the man who has idled his time
has a different road to , travel. He has wasted opportunities that
can not be recalled except by dint of hard work, and his only sal
vation is immediate buckling down to work with a grim determina
tion to win through.
The present season with its fine spring weather and the inviting
out-of-doors, urges us to cast aside our books and get out in the
open. The temptation is great to forget our responsibilities and to
overlook the fact that the school year is fast coming to an end. But
we must remember that the examination period will be with us
amazingly soon when we will be called upon for an accounting. The
satisfaction of work well done will far outweigh the temporary de
sire to leave the task unfinished, and to get away from the respon
sibilities of the class room. Let us stick to the job and finish the
work ahead of us. After that the vacation.
THE EDITORS
As Caesar very aptly put it, the editors came, aiiw, and conquered,.
We enjoyed their visit• and we only hope that they were as pleased
with their trip as we were to have them with us.
~T he college ex
tended itself to - make their visit enjoyable and we are only sorry that
the inclement weather' kept many away ;who might othrevPise have i
attended. As it was, a representative -group of the editors of the
state came to the conference, and we hope they will soon return
to pay us another visit when a greater number may attend.
More conferences of this kind are to be desired. -They serve to
acquaint many influential men who would otherwise never come in
contact with the Pennsylvania State - College, with the work it is
trying to do for the state of Pennsylvania in educating its youth
Our aim is to make Penn State the center of education in the state
and all legitimate means should be used in this endeavor. As we
depend wholly upon the people of the state through their represen
tatives at Harrisburg for our support and the fUlfillment of our aim,
the more friends which we have, the more sure we are of attaining
our end There is an unmistakably friendly atmosphere about State
College which`makes a friend of every visitor and we want more of
the people of the state to come in contact with us and our friendly
spirit Carry the gospel of friendliness with you at all times and
Penn State will reach its goal.
SOPHOMORES AND CUSTOMS
A number of the students of this institution seem to have for
gotten that other classes are subject to customs as well as the
Freshman. It is just as much a violation of our time-honored regu
lations for a Sophomore to go without his coat as it is for a Fresh
man to walk on the grass or to do anything else for which the
Sophomores penalize the first year men. The right of going without
a coat is reserved for upperclassmen and it is a right which must be
respected by the Sophomores. A number of the second year men
have thought that since they were hot required to obey the rules
while playing tennis or other games, that they were also, allowed a
relaxation of the rule while on their way to the courts. This is a mis
taken idea if not a deliberate infraction of the_rules, and must-be
stopped. They are required to wear their coats at all times, except
when actively engaged in some sport. A number of the other rules
as noted below have been broken more or less frequently, and need
a stricter enforcement by the student body. _ -
Every, student,shall salute the President. _
Every student shall give the right-of-way to those in the classes
above him and to the faculty. ,
Smoking shall not be permitted in the classrooms or in any
Freshmen shall attend all class meetings, athletic meetings,
athletic contests, and mass meetings and shall not leave same until
closed by the proper authority unless a reasonable, excuse can be
' When cadet uniforms are worn they must be worn complete and
the coat must always be buttoned.
Freshmen-must speak to all other Freshmen when passing on the
street - or in, the buildings. • ,

yania had an opportunity to witness a

dent Thomas, Dr Sparks, Coach Bez
deb and Mr 7. II Zerby,Chairman of the

foe the ptudent body He then told of
the wonderful grooth of Penn' State
. as all institution of educalon since
1908, the time when Dr Sparks be
e the head of Penn State He 'at
tributed this grim th of the college to
the ability and leadership of Dr E
Sparks whom he then Introduced
In beginning his talk, Dr Sparks said
that the sisiting editors had become
acquainted wide the visible part of
Penn State, the buildings and men.
but not the invisoble—the intangible
something o hick he Interpreted as char
octet For, he said, If e man graduat
es from college without character, he
cannot make asuccess of himself in
the world It is the purpose of Xenn
State to build this character in the
man: to make the man first, then to
make the engineer, agriculturist, busr
nose man or IN by toter _ma) be his pro
fession Dr Simko attributed the
causes of the failure of colege graduat
es to too things first, the unwiling
ness of the man to start at the beton]
of he ladder, and second, to the moon
tingness.of the man to subject himself
to high'r authority or to duty, doing
what he must do and not what ...he
wants to do Them is a great differ
ence, he pointed out, betoeen the man
in college and the college man, the
former letting people know that he id in
college by his bragging and - the latter
shows his education by his work and
the character tt bloh he had usci
ously absoebed hi lo in college ncon 'ln
closing, Dr Sparks said that he hoped
that the editors would always be
'friendly to Penn State - He said that
tha young man he had started out in
