The Alumni Association is one of the'main factors in the orga nization which has been formed to obtain for Penn State the sup port which it deserves from the state. The individuals are the back ground for all movements which may be started by the- college to obtain increased appropriations from the state. They are the ground work upon which the college must build its publicity campaign .if it is to bring the needs of the college before the people of the state, and if all -the alumni are behind the association they will greatly increase the effectiveness of that body and will provide a working unit for the campaign. The events of the past month have shown that the college is very much in need of the active support of every one of its alumni and every one of them must exert a vigorous in fluence m behalf of Penn State if they are to overcome the opposi tion and gain for this institution the recognition which it deserves ' It can not be said too forcefully that the growth of Penn State • depends almost entirely upon the The college, officials - may do all in their power but if the alumni are inactive, the state y will give the college little The college depends upon the people of the state through the legislature and'the governor for-its sup port and the influence of the thousands of alumni of Penn State can have a far greater effect throughout the commonwealth in gain ing for Penn State a higher standing than any other organization. The people will decide the future of Penn State; if they wish a state institution to top the institutions of learning m Pennsylvania rather than have a private institution at the head, they will support the Pennsylvania State College. If they wish a 'strong state university where education is free to the people then they must give Penn State more of the means to reach that goal. Again,we say that the al umni are the people. They are the-ones who decide the future of Penn State. The Alumni Association is an organization for the direction of the power of the'individual members in the most effective manner. It is many-sided, working for our Alma Mater and for the benefit of its members, socially and m every other way. ,The various bran ches in all parts of the country bring the scattered alumni together into a common band. It provides entertainment for its members, and the gatherings of the old Penn State men afford splendid oppor tunities to meet the men with whom they went to college and to re call the old days on the campus. The spirit of the organization is a fraternal one, all are united by a'common bond, the good of Penn State. The members of the graduating class will do well to join hands with the Alumni Association It will keep them in touch with the affairs of the college after they have left Penn State and have gone to make their way in the world It will show them what they can do to aid the college to gain its rightful-place among the educational institutions of the state and of the country. It will make them better Penn State men. The Alumni Association has projects in mind for the material benefit of the college that will require the backing of all the alumni if it is to be a'success. State is'in need of a number ot things, recreation hall, gymnasium, swimming pool, loan funds, and other things without number. The alumni can provide these things and m view of their debt to the college for 'the‘education they have received, undoubtedly will provide some of these -things m token of their appreciation. These-things of course can 'not be put across by a few men, or even by a; considerable number of graduates, but must be backed by all. The Alumni Association has' vision,’ it sees the time when Penn State will be stronger than it is* today, and it is laying its plans. ' • The return of the alumni next Saturday to take part in the re unions and other activities of Commencement Week will be a dem onstration of alumni interest and an inspiration-to the class of 192! to unite with such an organization for their own benefit and for the good of our Alma Mater. A WISE DECISION The action of the faculty in putting, the.responsibility of the Honor System upon the shoulders of the individual instructors seems to be the logical move in view of the opposition of a large number of the student body to the Honor System. If an instructor believes that his class is justified in using an honor system he is privileged to use it and is responsible for its successful- operation. ,If an in structor does not believe m the Honor System and thinks that his class will not enforce,its provisions, ( he can employ the proctor sys tem or any other system of examination which he wishes. This seems to be the best decision which the faculty could make in view of the great number of students and faculty members who do 1 not have faith in the Honor System. nojv, those that'want the system can have it; those that do not want it, are,not compelled to ifr ' r PENNIbTATE COIXESIAM T*" : PLAYERS’FINAL NUMBER READY FOR PRODUCTION The Penn State Players, __ under tho direction ot Mr. Arthur C v CloOtingh, will present "A Thousand Years Ago” in the out-door theatre June tenth.
