A DAY FOR FATHERS
With the beginning of the Easter recess only a few hours away,
each student begins to think of those things-far removed from college
life and it is but natural to forget anything but that of the present.
However, the date of May twentieth should not be placed in this cate
gory for it stands out as a time when Penn State will enjoy one of the
biggest of its yearly events. At that time it is hoped that at least one
thousand or more fathers will Journey to the college to partake of
Nittany hospitality.
This date has been set aside . by Penn State to provide an opportu
nity when the Dads may visit the college to get a true insight into the
actual operation of their college, when they may go to classes with
their sons to see the realities of recitations, when they may feel the
wholesome Penn State spirit and experience the Joys of a typical mass
meeting or of an athletic contest. This will be the day of all days for
the fathers and'anyone who must be absent will truly be unfortunate.
It is highly probable that the second annual observance of
Father's Day will be successful, especially if the arrangements of the
committee may be used as a basis for prediction. A mass meeting is
to be staged, characterized by a special program, of distinctive feat
ures, a varsity baseball game with Carnegie Tech will be played;
a smoker is to be held in the Armory and this should prove to be the
essence of good fellowship and sociability between father and son.
All these should insure a banner observance that will eclipse last
year's event.
The change in the date that was authorized by Student Council
last week was made in order that President Thomas - might be able to
meet the fathers In fact, he has requested that he be given a chance
to talk before the Dads on Penn State and its connection with the
commonwealth. At the time of the date first set, he must be in New
York and he was unable to arrange his calendar to — meet these con
ditions. The short business meeting that he is going to hold in the
morning will be one of the main features of the week-end and will
probably be attended by all of the visitors. Many, of the fathers have
been hoping for a chance to meet President Thomas and the action
of Student Council will be appreciated by
_ I.Nothmg seenis eto have beeniomitted in preparing for ' this great
diiy, but this does not necessarily mean that success is guaranteed the
undertaking. There is an unknown quantity that enters into this
complex human equation and it must be considered, since it is all
important in an instance of this kind. Will the student body volun
teer
their whole-hearted cooperation in the task of persuading their
lathers to visit Penn State? Will they remember that Penn-State is
depending upon them for this cooperation and will they take advent-i i
of Easter vacation to fulfill their dutyo' The way in which these
questions are answered will determine the ultimate result of all the
preparations that have been made. It is absolutely the duty of each
student to enlist his endeavors to insure a large number of guests
for May twentieth. Now is the time to ask Dad if he will come. With
each student's part clearly defined, there ought to be no hesitation in
starting the campaign for the biggest and best Father's Day that the
college has ever enjoyed.
PREXY'S BIRTHDAY
As a Penn State man, President Thomas will, be one year old
next Saturday , In behalf of the multitude of his friends enrolled as
students and faculty members, of the college, we offer him
our sincere congratulations and wish him success in future years
The love of a student body and the respect of_a commonwealth and
nation is his. -
The relations between the President and the friends of the college
have been growing steadily since he came to State College last April
and these are now characterized by a strength, an understanding, and
a loyalty that generally comes only after a much longer period of
companionship. The college is not only in as healthy a condition as it
was when he took the helm, but many dangerous shoals have been
safely passed and all are preparing for the open sea beyond. -Soon a
gigantic effort is to be made to impress upon the voters of the state
the right of Penn State to become'a great state university. Soon a
program is to be started that will breathe out over Pennsylvania
facts that will command consideration of the state university idea.
Soon President Thomas will be in the midst of a campaign of his own
making and of his own conception, a campaign that will be the great
est one ever undertaken by the Nittany institution.
In the short span of one year, President Thomas has labored un
ceasingly for Penn State. His every thought has been for the college
and its students. He has carried the message of Penn State to all
corners of the commonwealth. And what is probably of greater im
portance, he has gained for himself a warm regard from every one
of his students.
Perhaps, in the life of the average college student, there is not a
more joyful time than vacation time. About one week previous to the
date of departure, the faces of those friends at home begin to
loom up out of the textbook which ends in a reverie. As the day
approaches, all thoughts of college recede in importance and give rise
to those foreign to all college relations. This exuberance might be
explained in the saying, "glad to go and glad to get back".
However, there is one detail in this condition that should be
brought to the attention of the student body at this time: No matter
how glad we are "to get back", we ought not let the joy carry us to
that point where a grand mob rush is started for the waiting busses
as soon as the various trains stop at Lemont and Bellefonte. In a
co-educational institution, it is well to modify this rush so that the
girl students are at least given an equal chance to gain a bus seat
The manner in which the girl students of the college have been
treated on returning at the close of.previous vacations has led to all
manner of experiments and all have failed to some degree. Another
is to be tried this time. Authorities' are trying to make arrangements
whereby certain busses will be 'reserved for the exclusive use of the
girls, and the men students are asked to wait till the girls have been
accommodated before they appropriate these conveyances for their
own use.
