The baseball team in making its record number of victories is Fast earning a place in the diamond history of Penn State. The games played have not been easy games but have been contested with some of the strongest teams procurable, and many have been won in the closing minutes of the game or else in extra periods. The ball team is making a wonderful record that will be long remembered and if they are able to preserve a clean slate in the remaining struggles they will have a strong claim for intercollegiate honors. At this time the team demands the strongest backing possible. They left on the annual eastern trip with a loyal student body behind them and with everyone hoping for success. It came in answer to their hopes and the Blue and White aggregation is still undefeated. The couch now has before him a difficult program. The men'are rapidly ap proaching the end of the season and a let-down may be desired after a long period of trainings The men on the team have earned the admiration of the entire student body and the college is solidly be hind them in working for a defeatless season. We wish them good luck! . YOUR DIPLOMA Few people doubt the value of college training. The man or woman who successfully completes a college course is always in de mand. The success of the college graduate is not so much due to the opportunities which come to him because he is a college graduate, but lie is usually successful because he is able to take advantage of his opportunities when they present themselves. For this of course there is a reason. The college student acquires during his four yearss of college work not only the technique of his chosen profession, but a broad outlook on life —a certain point of view which the average in dividual who does not attend college requires a-'much longer period of time to attain. Your diploma. What does it mean to you? What significance has it other than a mere certificate to show that you have completed the work required in the curriculus? We believe that it means more than this. We believe that the college man who regards his diploma as something more than a stepping stone to a good job is the man who is getting the most out of his college career. Universities and colleges are rated as “good," “fair," or “poor/’ graduate by the standing of the institution of which he is a graduate, and there is a decided tendency to judge the efficiency of the college And for this there is some justification. Various factors determine the standing of a college, chief among which are its financial support, its faculty, and its student body. It is not enough to have been A student. Any book-worm can do that. An average of 90 is no sure criterion of a real college man. The man who most deserves his diploma is the man who has successfully passed in his studies, who at all times has conducted himself in a man ner fitting a gentleman, and who has taken an active part in the af fairs of the student body. Athletics, student publications, and the social life of a student body are equally as important as scholastic work. Take an active part in all these things! Don’t grow lop-sided! Don’t leave it to the’other fellow! Do your part! EARN YOUR DIPLOMA!—From the University Review'. "We wonder how many of the student body are acquainted with the natural beauties that surround the college here in this wonderful setting which we have in the mountains in the center of the state. There are many places of great interest and scenic charm right at our door thep that are comparable with many of the beauty spots of which commonwealths no more fortunate boast in no uncertain terms. We venture to say that a large proportion of the men and women of Penn State have never been at Penn’s Cave or the other unique and delightful points of great beauty within a short radius* of the schoool, that can be easily reached in one afternoon. There is no need to go far from home to see as many scenes of natural charm as can be comprehended in a life time. Let us take the slogan “See America First and begin by “Seeing Pennsylvania First”. a w • « r » u , ♦ m »■*■ I News From Other Colleges | f |J,il ti I I I I . . .T rnn.NKM^—The largest Cornell A - f mmil convention In the history of the' University was held at Cleveland May 1.l and 14.

With several illustrations from the Bible, he emphasised the fact that one human life is of little Importance unless it is utilize to the best advantage. “We Americans need to tie free from the suggestion of our own importance", he said. "It is foolish fo * man to spend al) his life for himself because his only chance Is in foregoing h s selfish motives and supporting the vi al issues of humanity and of God. He should do right for the sake of right at d serve God for his sake and not for the reputation ac-, quired thereby. (So it should he with all the virtues hut Americans are too commercial, too (epicurean. Christian ity is not a profit and loss proposition in any manner whatsoever. It is a he roism, an Idealism. Self-sacrifice is the principle on which Christianity is bas ed. It may proi tote uiul exalt a mun or take his life with little thanks, but It will give him n soul, for lie will nev er find joy in lllfe until ho takes God and his principles to heart and into his life. | CHINESE STUDENTS HOLD CONFERENCE WITH ADVISOR Last Thursday afternoon the Chinese Btudents of the college held a confer ence with Mr. F W.
