A CHANGE OF HEART
The mass meetng of Seniors and Juniors last Sunday afternoon
developed a wonderful change in the sentiment of the student body
in regard to the Thanksgiving vacation and the Inaugural recess
Previous to the meeting, the prevading thought on the campus was
that if the students were not granted the usual Thanksgiving vacation
they would take advantage of the Inaugural recess to go home .They
felt that if they were not given the opportunity to go home at Thanks
gving time, that they were justified in leaving during the Inaugural
celebration, regardless of the success of that affair. The mass meeting
however brought the real Penn State spirit to the fore. The students
there recognized the fact that they must unanimously support the
Inauguration of President Thomas and strive to make it a wonderful
success whether the Thanksgiving vacation is granted or not. They
saw that the honor of Penn State demands that they be here and do
their utmost to make this Inauguration the biggest and best celebra
tion which Penn State has ever attempted.
The purpose of the mass meeting was not to discuss* the relative
merits and demerits of a Thanksgiving vacation, and the resolution
which was passed did not say that the student body had changed its
mind in regard to the holiday We still believe that a Thanksgiving
vacation from Wednesday noon to Monday morning is justified How
ever the big thing is that the student body showed that it would not
-allow the_decision concerning Thanksgiving to interfere with the suc
cess of the Inaugural Whether the three days are granted or not,
we will abide by the decision, as every loyal Penn State man must do.
We have faith and confidence in our President and we believe that his
decision will be the best for Penn State under the circumstances.
It is indeed unfortunate for us that the two holiday periods be
came associated the way they did Prior to the mass meeting the atti
tude of many of the students was practically a threat They virtually
said “If you don’t give us a Thanksgiving vacation, we will not par
ticipate in the Inauguration.” Under these circumstances, the request
had to be refused
We are glad to note now however that these students have lost
their Bolshevik ideas and are now content to allow the proper authori
ties to run the college. The mass meeting showed that the Penn State
spirit is still here It showed that the student body wants to go at
least half way and wishes to cooperate to the extent of its ability. The
resoluton withdrawing the petition for the Thanksgiving vacation re
lieves Doctor Thomas of the unpleasant task of refusing the request
and yet leaves the matter so that it can be presented again when the
circumstances are mpre favorable.
The stand taken by the mass meeting with regard to the Inaugura
tion is the best indication of the real Penn State spirit for several years
The student body realizes that it will be the most spectacular event
which has ever come to Penn State They see that the name of Penn
State is involved and that the Inauguration is vital to the entire stu
dent body, that it is an occasion which comes but once in a life time
and which must be put across in great style if the many visitors are to
go home satisfied with those few days
