Member of IntermUegiate Newspaper Association WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 1921 A SUCCESSFUL YEAR ENDING; A BRIGHT ONE AHEAD The Pennsylvania State College is now bringing to a close one of the most successful years in its history, a year marked by higher at tainments in all its branches of activities. The scholastic standing is at least up to the average, while the class which is to leave us m a few days is one of tne largest which has ever been graduated by this institution. On the athletic field, our victories are known by an ever, increasing circle of friends and enthusiasts,, and the teams have outdone themselves to heap laurels at the feet of their Alma Mater. The debaters have just ended a highly successful season, and the publications have also made remarkable progress in then ettorts lor the honor of Penn State. The class of 1921 which is now about to depart includes in its make-up, men which, it seems, Penn State can ill afford to lose, men who have led the student body in scholarship, athletic prowe&a, and as the heads of our various student organizations ihey have done well, and their Alma Mater is proud ot their achievements. We know that they will be as successful in the world as they have been while at Penn State. The college has been indeed-fortunate''‘m s its athletic contests throughout the year. In football, wrestling, basketball, boxing, track, and finally in baseball, Penn State has made a most rematt&%hle record. The teams have commanded the respect of all opponents are none that can say that Penn- State is not superior in any spJN* We owe much of our victories to our Director of Athletics, Hugo Bez dek, the man who has put Penn State on the athletic map for good The future holds out for ,us even brighter prospdets, and.although the year just'about to. end seems to be-without. ecnifll in Jill l~jij ft i*j‘iV??i F ' l - "" a'.rosy outfooft: ' THe academic requirements-foi the incoming men require them to be a little above the average in scholastic standing and the scholarship ot the college will probably De materially raised. With a far larger number of applicants than can be admitted, there is no reason why Penn Statte should not have a choice group ot new men this fall. On the gridiron, diamond, cinder path, cage and ring, our future is painted in bright hues, if no untoward-event mars our predictions Irue there are veterans of three seasons which will not be on tiic teams next year, but the substitutes have shown remarkable promise and all in all Penn State can look forward to no gloomy season. Our student government underwent a severe readjustment with the semi-departure of the Honor System. It is too early to say what the outcome will be; whether the Honor System will gradually tall into disuse and the proctor system come into use, or whether tne Honor System will again be established. The coming year will decide Ihe elections are to be held one year from now and at,that time, the student body and the faculty will be allowed to voice their opin ions. 11 the proctor system is carried out quietly and .effectively with no suggestion of offensive suspicions on the part of the proctor and with a spirit of cooperation on the part of the student body, a will undoubtedly become firmly rooted. On other hand it the student body is restive under a proctor system and shows its ability to make the Honor System work efficiently, then it will certainly be again installed. This is probably the most serious internal problem which the college will have to face nev.t year, and it deserves "the serious thought of the best minds of the institution. The work of the various student government organizations, has been effectively, if unostentiously done. The questions which at fect the student body have been disposed of, and several new cus toms instituted. Father’s Day, which was started m Student Coun cil this year and which met with much success, was probably the most important addition made for a long time in our calendar. It brought a great many fathers to State College for the week-end where they became a little better acquainted with Penn State and the life which their sons lead here. The student body was so well pleased with the new**occasion that the day is now permanently set for every year on the first Saturday in May. With all, problems which will demand considerations, our pros pects are ol the brightest for the coming season. We have a shoi t vacation before us in which to prepare ourselves for earnest work in the fall and we will come back equipped for the winter’s woTk. In this time from June until September preach the gospel of Penn State throughout the commonwealth! Tell the people of the state what this college is; impress upon them that this is a state institution and that we depend upon them for our support. If Penn State had been granted a larger appropriation, more of the youth of the state might have had an opportunity of matriculating here for the coming term. But under the present grant, the college can only maintain its pre sent force The failure to realize the expectations in the matter of appropriations has no doubt been a blow to the hopes of some of our most enthusiastic supporters, but we are not dismayed. There are now two years ahead of us in whioh we can conduct our educational campaign to tell* the Pennsylvanians about their state college and make another effort to obtain an increased appropriation so that the col lege can launch its proposed plans of expansion. . This is one of the biggest things which the student body can do for its Alma Mater. All in all, the year just ending shows what P«nn State can do, and forecasts what is in store for us in the future. We have an un usual opportunity ahead of us to make'l92l-1922 a record breaking year m the annals of Penn State and all signs point to the realization of the prospects, “¥” ACTIVITIES ENJOY , SUCCESSFUL SEMESTERS Wilson Scries and Follow-up For* i 1 ums Popular—New Board Elect* | ed for Coming: Year !
