The college itself is prepared, within the limits of the recent state appropriation, to serve as large a student body as has ever assembled within its gat es. It is doing its best with the money provided by the Legislature lor tlie next two years and the advantage to which the sum is being spent in educating the men and women of the state will no doubt prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Penn State is the institution that should be made preeminent in higher educational circles of the Stale'of Pennsylvania and of the United States. rile student body is returning from the holidays with a new deter mination to make the most of the opportunities afforded here for getting an education. The business depression felt this summer in nearly all parts of the country has demonstrated that a man must be well equipped if he is to survive. In the slack period all needless ex pense is stopped, stall's.are reduced and the weak branches are cut oil. it has been impressed upon more than one student that success is not easily bought. The man who has prepared himself to the utmost, who nas made the best of his opportunities in the class room .and out, and who did his work well 110 matter how trivial the task, was the man who Kept his position when others were being discharged. A lesson that is not easily forgotten has been impressed upon many students during this past .summer, and a determination to completely master the college One of the finest customs of Penn State is the student ruling that every freshman must speak to every other freshman when they meet on the street or in any of the college buildings. It serves to cultivate a spirit of comradeship among the first year men and thereby promot es class spirit. The new men are impressed by the friendly greeting, and the simple “hello" does more than anything else to drive home to them that they now belong to the Army of Penn State students. Even though previously unacquainted with those who address them, the freshmen are made to feel at home immediately by it. He feels that others are interested in him enough to speak to him and he sees that Penn State is the place for men who are wide awake, who are interested in their fellows and who believe in the spirit of friendliness, is the place for men who are wide awake, who are interested in their icllowb, and who believe in the spirit of friendliness. lhc degree to which this admirable custom is carried out at the beginning of me semester will largely determine the success which it will meet mis year. It must get a good start or else languish. The upperclasbineit and particularly the sophomores are responsible lor tne observance of life rules and the best way they can enforce this regula tion is by carrying it out themselves. Not only see that tnc freshmen speak, but send them a cheery “hello” yourself! lhc compulsory wearing of name tags by the new men at the op ening of school is a custom that has not been tried at Penn State, at least, not in recent years. However it is in force in other colleges and is very well thought of, as a means of acquainting the new students with each other. The decision of Student Council last spring to institute the cus tom here was well considered. It will greatly supplement the “hello" custom is properly carried out, and since it has proven its worth to outer colleges, we want it here. The style of the tag and the manner in which it must be worn, as given in another column, should be strictly enforced..
