SIXTEEN STRAIGHT!
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”.

“I count not my life here unto my-!
self," was the text of President Thom
as who spoke ut (Sunday chapel. 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

It will give him n soul, for lie will nev

tures made known to them by means
of Hawaiian fortune telling curds. On
the porch wns a booth in which one
might have his character read by an
