THE "S" CONTROVERSY
Opinion seems to be rapidly dividing on the question of con
structing an "S" of living evergreen trees on the slope of Mt Nittany.
A short time ago scarcely a word of disapproval of the project was
heard but recently there has arisen a slow but steady stream of
protest. Ls: Li.jAtet
Was the first thought upon the matter too hasty and has later
contemplation revealed objectionable disadvantages, or is the protest
tne inevitable accompaniment of every forward steps This question
is answered according to the views of the individual. If he is an
Lnrritisiastic supporter of the "S", he believes that it should, be built
iegardlesstof protest. If he is one of those who have come to the
conclusion that the "S" will mar the natural beauty of our scenery and
will not be representative of Penn State, he opposes the movement
Among the opponents of the "S" are numbered men, who, during
their years of service to the college, have shown their loyalty to Penn
State and their interest in student movements They are men whose
opinions have weight and deserve the most thorough consideration
before any opposing action is taken.
On the other hand, the cooperation offered by several depart
ments of the college in drawing up and developing the plans for the
"S" would indicate that a considerable portion of the faculty is will
ing to back the placing of the letter.
Somewhere in this maze of conflicting opinions lies the solution
"I he proponents of the "S"'saythat Other notable editCOtonal - inst:
tutions, especially in the western part of the country, have similar
insignia or letters built of stone and concrete. They are placed high
upon the side of some imposing prominence and make an impressive
sjmbol of the institution. They say that in foreign countries strik
ing and effective use has been made of similar arrangements of trees
of two or more colors They say that Penn State may well follow the
e \ ample of these other schools and that the letter will serve to attract
much favorable comment.
the opponents of the movement answer these arguments by as
serting that the letter will be nothing but a cheap advertisement and
indeed a desecration of nature They plead for the preservation of
the natural beauty of our surroundings and liken the planting of a
hugh "S" upon the green slope of Mt Nittany to the placing of a
"Is" by the University of Buffalo over Niagara Falls. Fancy might
even picture the planting of an enormous "G" by Georgetown Uni
seisity on the dome of the National Capitol. This latter comparison
is of course far fetched but it serves to illustrate the fact that the
opponents of the "S" consider the letter on Mt. Nittany to be a cheap ,
auvettisement, marring the beauty of our landscape instead of being
a worthy symbol of Penn State.
One forceful argument against the "S" is the greater need for
things right on the campus The opponents of the "S" state that the
money required to purchase, transport, plant, and care for the trees
iequiied in the "S" high up on the side of a mountain could be used
rs greater advantage for the construction of much-needed buildings
or other improvements.
1 he movement was inaugurated in the Senior Class and given
substantial financial assistance by the Rehabilitation Club so that at
pi esent there are available funds for starting the work But before
any actual steps are taken we believe that the entire college should
be consulted and even alumni opinion invited This is a project
which concerns the entire institution and no action should be taken
without the approval of all.
The project should he thoroughly explained by capable author
ittes to all the classes and their approval secured together with that
of the resident college authorities and the Board of Trustees, before
any construction is done It would also be well to secure from, the
Atumni Association an expression of its opinion But whatever the
decision, let it be made with the greatest good for Penn State always
in mind.
