OBSERVE INITIAL
SCHOLARSHIP DAY
Elections For First Semester Are
Announced By Various Campus
Organizations
FORMER DEAN OF MEN
IS PRINCIPAL, SPEAKER
Tlie flr?t S' ho:a.-hii. D:iy in the his
tory ot the P«wnylV!in!.T Sttue i:»]lcge
oi observed las: Wodn-*lay. Octoher
ttventv-fifth. The purpose of such an
occasion, which in the future tvill pike
place every semester, is ttvo-folil: llrst.
to give just ree■•gnstion to those stu
dents who have attained high standing
in scholarship. and to raise the
scholastic standing of the college In
general.
The day was appropriately celebrated
by a meeting which was held in the
evening, in the Auditorium, at seven
thirty oVloi k at which time marksman
ship and scholarship medals were pre
sented and scin»!a:>hi|> and h*.n<.r soci
ety elections announced. The address
of the evening was delivered by Dr.
Arthur Holni'-s. former IVan of .Men.
at present professor at the University
of Pennsylvania.
The opening nmnher «>f the program
was an organ selection by .Mrs. H. W.
Grant entitled “Chant de Printemps”.
Following this was the presentation of
marksmanship medals by Major M. D.
Welty of the .Military Department.
These medals were awarded to members
of the rille team which last year made
such an enviable record in the inter
collegiate world that the College has
received challenges for matches from
near# every institution of reasonable
standing in the country* Recipients of
the Louise Carnegie and the John W.
White scholarships were then an
nounced by Professor Frank D. Gardner
of the Department of Agronomy. An
nouncements of honor society elections
were also made by the respective presi
dents of these organizations and honor
society and scholarship medals were
awarded.
Followed by another organ selection
entitled “Benediction Xtiptiale", Dr.
Arthur Holmes delivered the Scholar
ship Day address, choosing for his sub
ject “Education". Ho congratulated the
College on its observance of such a cele
bration as Scholarship Day, saying that
few Institutions of learning fully ap
preciate and recognise, on the surface,
the value of high scholarship. Any
thing, said Dr. Holmes, that causes the
student to value high standing is fine
indeed. The observance of this day
ought to he continued and enlarged
upon.
Education, Dr. Holmes said, is so
growing and changing that it Is difficult
to define. The word education applies
first to a process nnd,second, to a pro
duct. The whole thing is a habit. This
being the case, where do we get cul
ture? True, it is forgotten but can be
brought back, even though jazz, present
day dancing, and much that is modern
in the common sense, works against it.
In conclusion he said, “Young men,
cultivate your souls, your minds, and
your bodies. Keep yourselves clean and
strong and don’t waste your time. Lat
er on, when old age takes hold on you
it will be splendid to live in nil your
glory. That will have been culture."
J. C. WHITE TELLS OF
WORK AND NECESSITY
OF LAYMEN IN WORLD
Pointing out some of the things which
he himself, a layman, has done, J.
Campbell White answered the question
in the title of his own speech “Does the
World Need a Layman—and for What?”
This eminent speaker came to State
College under the auspices of the Stu
dent Fellowship for Lifo Sendee In the
Y. M. C. A. to speak at the Tuesday
Night Lecture.
ifr. White has a humorous and
pleasing style, yet a forceful one. Ho
pointed out that through his own ex
perience U has been proven that a
toyman may do a great number of
tldngn. a layman with foreign exper
ience can aid a church in arranging
and increasing its foreign missions, and
work out principles in regard to mis
sions. Showing that being a common
toyman is no drawback to a man it
Wight be pointed out that Mr. White
|b himself the vice president of a col
lege for the training of ministers.
Mr. JVhite lias had considerable ex
perience In India and was a very in
teresting talker on the subject of Ind
ton customs. One of tho interesting
Points that he brought out was that
there are 331,000.000 Indian gods, one
for each man, woman, and child in In
dia. Also he pointed out. there are more
'■Wages in India than there have been
«ays since Christ. Practically all of the
Indians are illiterate, and this means
practically one half of the world.

AG. ENROLLMENT BETTER
THAN IN OTHER COLLEGES
In speaking before tho Extension ;
Conference last Friday evening, Dean!
Watts made a statement contrary to;
tile general opinion that Penn .State is;
having a greater decrease in enrollment
than other colleges. He presented fig
ures showing that the college has been!
holding its own belter than niosi col-i
leges in the four year courses in Agri* j
culture. Among the states suffering u ;
greater decrease than Pennsylvania are 1
lowa, Illinois ami Kansas. California
with Pennsylvania, lias held the enroll-'
nient well, while Texas is the only:
sttue showing a substantial increase. !
The demand for well trained Agricul
turists is greater today than it was ten
years ago. and even though the num
ber of students taking courses in Agri
culture hits decreased slightly, there
has never been known a year when the
graduates have been so quickly placed
in positions of responsibility, as they
were last year.
Tlie attention of the School of Agri
culture is now being turned to the
Short Courses which will open January
fourth, 1923 and close March third,
1923, giving those who are not in a pos
ition to take longer courses an eight
weeks period of training that will more
properly fit them for management of
farms or farm work. Most of these
Short Course men return to their homes
and rank among the most substantial
farmers In their communi
ties. Last year there were one hun
dred thirty men who touk advantage of
the Short Courses and one hundred
fifty are expected to enroll this year.
Dean Watts feels that getting the
boys and girls of Pennsylvania inter
ested in the application of scientific j
principles of farming is so Important 1
that a Student Enrollment Committee:
has been working during tho past year!
in an effort to show how the School ot
Agriculture functions In training men;
and women to go out as leaders In agri
cultural work. Professor A. A. ltor--
land is chairman of the committee and'
Professor L, W. Morley is the repre-'
sentative of the Extension Department
in this work.
TOPIANS FOSTER PLAN.
FOR LARGE ARBORETUM
The development of the land around
Centra Furnace, lying between the old
and new roads, into an arboretum is
being advocated by the Topian Club.
This Club composed of Landscape Ar
chitects, and if the College Administra
tion approves of the plan they are
ready to go ahead and work it <)Jt.
They believe that the nurserymen of
Pennsylvania will contribute plants for
this purpose and the present plans are
to make this an arboretum of forestry,
botany, horticulture, and landscape gar
dening. When this is materialized it
will make a most attractive entrance
to State College.
lOWA UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

BYRON G. HARLAN
ENTERTAINER TO AID
GIRLS’ CAMPAIGN FUND
Byron G. Harlan, Comedian, With
Company of Three Will Be
Here November Fourth
In an effort to assist in the raising ivf
the (’.iris' Endowment Fund for tlie
Pennsylvania State CMlcge, a company
of entertainers headed by Byron O.
Harlan, an Ameriean comedian ami ten
or of considerable stage repute, has
been sccpred to appear in the Auditor
ium on Saturday evening. November
fourth. The entertainment has been
arranged by a joint eomtnltlee repre
senting tlie Girls’ Endowment Fund
ami the committee on Student Fellow
ship for Christian Life Service of the
Penn State Y. M. C. A. Proceeds de
rived from tlie performance will be
used in tile Endowment Fund Drive
which tlie eo-eds of this institution are
enthusiastically conducting at the pres
ent time.
Hymn G. Harlan Is a familiar veteran
comedian of the Ameriean stage, and it
will he a hearty welcome that he re
ceives when lie steps from the wings in
the Auditorium for the first time. In
company with tho famous Collins, he
has been the creator of numerous phon
ograph records. His “rube” songs, ne
gro dialect songs. “Cousin Caruso” Ital
ian comics, and his famous duets with
Collins have made him one of the na
tion’s most noted entertainers of the
present day.
Harlan has a pleasant personality and
a superior voice. He is a gloom chaser,
versatile and original in his methods.
The style of entertainment that he fur
nishes Is irresistably funny. I-lis Ital
ian ballads are classics and he imperson
ates each character that is injected into
his songs.
Harlan brings with him a company of
talented artists. Miss Beth Hamilton
is an American violinist who always
arouses enthusiasm from critics and
audiences. Her training has been with
tiie most eminent masters of America
and Europe. She always roaches her
audience .with the first draw of her
how. Armstrong 'The Man of Mystery”
one of the most versatile, refined and
original entertainers is an evening’s en
tertainment in himself and must be
seen and heard to be fully appreciated.
Magic is an art that sometimes in
structs. often amuses and always enter
tains. Miss Mabel H. Loomis is the pi
anist and accompanist and although
equipped with the technique of a vir
tuoso, she uses it only ns a means of
expressing; this she combines with a
musical touch and artistic temperament
in such a way as to make piano play
ing an art. Miss Loomis also ronders
a number of delightful vocal selections.
I'KXN STATE TRAINING OLUH
TO RE-ORGANIZE THIS YEAR
The P.enn Stale Training Club com
posed of students who attended tho
Military Camp any .summer, intend to
organize again this year, and carry on
the work of the club as was done in
former years. This club is organized
to arouse and maintain tho interest of
the students in this branch ot military
work. It is composed of Juniors and
seniors who have passed their basic
work at the summer camp.

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
REPLACEMENT OF DAIRY
HERD AIM OF BREEDERS
Fifteen First-Class Animals Have
Already Arrived at Penn State
Cattle Bams
The general movement on the part
of the dairy cattle breeders ot. the
State to present to the Pennsylvania
State College choice animals of the
various dairy breeds is now making
rapid progress. This movement was
started by the breeders themselves in
order to replace the herd which was
swept uwuy by disease in 1913-1916.
The Institution has never been able Jo
finance the replacement of the herd,
and the breeders recognizing the im
portance of the need of animals for
student judging purposes, have come
to the rescue.
Those animals that have already been
received at the college dairy barns or
are soon to ai rive are as follows:
Lycoming Breeders Choice, a fine
three year old Holstein cow presented
by the Lycoming County Holstein
Breeders Association.
Weller Farm Yankee Beauty, the
beautiful little Holstein heifer present
ed by E. H. Woiler & Son; of Warren.
Pa.
Sir Roberts Rotnona Belle, an un
usually fine Ayrshire type heifer that
was presented by the Masonic Homes
of Elizabethtown.
Two fine Jersey heifers have come
from Susquehanna County, one from
Ball Brothers, of Birchardville, and the
other from S. C. Birchard, also of Jiir- 1
••hardville.
L. B. Carter, Titusville, is sending
one of his best bred Jersey heifers in
northwestern Pennsylvania, -
L. S. Klough, of Warren, Pennsylvan
ia a beautiful Ayrshire heifer.
Charles Moore, of Garland, Warren
County is sending a handsome Hol
stein cow.
The dairymen of Bradford County
are presenting one Jersey and one Hol
stein.
Tho Allegheny County Holstein
Breeders Association, at their Annual
Field Day, on October 17th presented
a fine Holstein heifer, selected from the
herd of the County Home. She is a
daughter of May Echo Sylvia, the
World’s record Holstein cow for milk
production in seven days. Her pro
duction was 1,005 pounds of milk in
seven days.
Simon Stahlman ami J. P. McCrack
en, of Jefferson County are each con
signing a well bred Holstein to the
college herd.
The Chester County Holstein Breed
ers Association expect to present a
Holstein cow on October 2Sth at their
annual Field Day. Two other Chester
County breeders, Mr. Hugh Moore and
Mr. M. L. Jones, are each presenting a
Holstein heifer from their own herds.
The Guernsey and Ayrshire breeders
In Chester County are also planning to
send representative animals.
Tho great interest taken by the dairy
cattle breeders of tho State tn filling
the empty stanchions at the College
dairy ham speaks well for the future
of the herd at the Institution. The an
imals practically all come from accred
ited herds, so thtft the college will not
need to forfeit its accredited herd cer
tificate. Every effort is being made
to - keep the - college - herd - free
from disease.

PLAYERS TO CARRY
ON EXTENSION WORK
Penn State Dramatists Seek to
Aid Secondary Schools in
Producing Plays
In line with the aim of the Penn
sylvania State College to serve tho
needs nf the state, one of the college’s
dramatic organizations, the Penn State
Players, hits organized a bureau of in
formation. Drama today plays a highly
important part in education, but in
many high schools the proper equip
ment and material is not available.
The Penn State Players desire to till
this need.
The Players have been presenting
plays at State College for many years,
.producing dramas of Shaw, Shakes
peare, France, Yeats, Barker. Wilde,
Parker, and other famous dramatists.
During the past two seasons, in re
sponse to demands from organizations
throughout the state, they began pre
senting plays in. other communities as
well. A portable theatre Is now part
of their equipment. This portable
stage consists of a frame and hangings
which can he erected in any hall or
theatre, large or small.
Tho Penn Slate Players have gone
even farther in their attempts to be
helpful. Realizing the difficulty in
choosing the proper vehicle for amateur
production, they have issued a pamph
let listing plays of all kinds for a!)
occasions. Copies of all the plays in the
list are kept on file and may be ob
tained for reading purposes by any
resident of the state. This service is
free except for a small fee to cover the
mailing expense.
To Publish Bulletins
During the coming season, the Ex
tension Department will issue a series
of bulletins on the choice of 21 ptay and
all tlie subsequent problems; such ns,
costumes, lighting, scenery, and re
hearsals. One bulletin will be devoted
to the different kinds of make-up, with
suggestions for the simplest make-tip
R>x, and hints on making up the vari
ous characters. Another bulletin will
contain a list of plays suitable to the
grades, ami suggestions regarding their
production.
