FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1922
TWO ANNIVERSARIES
Tomorrow, the college will observe two anniversaries; one of them,
Pennsylvania Day, concerns the college and commonwealth, and the
other. Armistice Day, will be celebrated the world over. Anniversar
ies are in a way, arbitrary affairs. Cold logic seems to dictate that
they be observed in commemoration of some past event of an historical
nature. But in the affairs of mankind, cold logic ofttimes needs the
backing of warm sentiment. And it is warm sentiment which makes
these two anniversaries so noteworthy. Anniversaries are needed to
make people think in a purposeful way about the same thing at the
same time.
Pennsylvania Day is an old tradition of Penn State that posesses
that warm sentiment. Penn State recognizes and celebrates Pennsyl
vania Day in a fashion similar to that in which other instituitons com
memorate Founder's Day. Its observance serves as a mark of recog
nition to the citizens of Pennsylvania who have made the present in
stitution possible.
Years ago, before the pressure of public affairs became as urgent
as it is today, it was the custom of the entire legislature of the com
monwealth to visit the college in a body once a year. The day of the
visit was set apart for the purpose of showing the people of the state
and their representatives something of the work which the college is
trying to accomplish. At present, it is no longer possible to have all
of our legislators present on Pennsylvania Day—in fact, the Board of
Trustees has found it necessary to confine Pennsylvania Day to cam
pus and student activities rather than an occasion for the entertain
ment of the public in general. Nevertheless, Pennsylvania Day of this
year will find thousands of visitors on hand for the celebration of the
holiday. In fact, it is quite likely that Penn State will entertain a
record breaking crowd tomorrow. It is therefore a pleasure to know
that, due to the efforts of the various departments of the School of
Engineering, the Dairy Husbandry Department of the School of Agri
culture, the Military Department and many other organizations, visit
ors will be given the opportunity of seeing something of the work of
Penn State.
How far more appropriate can be the celebration of Pennsylvania
Day be made, when Armistice Day is observed at the same time. Penn
State is proud of her sons, especially those who fought and died for
their country. Surely no man ever died more nobly than the man who
is being honored in tomorrow’s celebration of the fourth anniversary
of the signing of the Armistice. Fitting exercises by'the American
Legion and the Rehabilitation Club in connection with the Pennsyl
vania Day program will mark the observance of the day here at the
college. Throughout the world, people will pause to indulge in silent
thanks to God for the valor of The Glorious Dead. Large numbers
will think in a purposeful way about the same thing at the same time
and will be reminded of the supreme need of justice in the relations
of men and nations.
Each succeeding November brings us another anniversary of
Pennsylvania Day and we are glad to note the progress which Penn
State is making during the interval from one anniversary to another.
Each succeeding November will bring us another anniversary of Arm
istice Day and we are glad to note the forward march of civilization.
AN APPRECIATION
Only a few years ago there came to Penn State a man who was a
total stranger to the student body, to the alumni, and to the institution.
Now that same personage is, perhaps, the most popular on the campus
and his name is being heralded daily in all sections of the country as
a coach who stands above all others. To Penn State he is known as
Hugo Bezdek, enthusiastic supporter of all projects that will benefit
the college, a coach without equal, and a true friend of the student. To
the world, he is known as a producer of winning teams. Surely this
is a reputation worthy of the man whom we know.
It is commonly acknowledged that an American collegiate student
body is the most critical of any group. It is a difficult attainment to
secure approval in its eyes, which is accomplished only after many
notable and sanctioned accomplishments.
Coach Bezdek has won for himself a prominent place in the regard
of each Penn State man. He has been entrusted with the faith of sev
eral thousands who are ever willing to support him. Why can this
man claim so much? Since coming to college, “Bez” has shown on many
occasions that he is one who can produce; every plan that he has spon
sored has succeeded. Always he has done all in his power for the wel
fare of the students whose friendship he wanted to win. His teachings
have been those of a man who is fearless in proclaiming what is right.
He has maintained zealously the high ideals of clean sportsmanship in
Penn State athletics. He has been an ardent supporter of the admin
istration, ever willing to do all in his power for the betterment of the
institution. More than any other man, he has carried the name of
Penn State to all sections of the country and has been instrumental
in placing the college in the position that it holds today.
They still remember in Seattle, in Boston, in New York in Phila
delphia, and in Pittsburgh the work of his teams of past years Char
acterized by a tenacious fighting spirit and clean cut playing, his teams
have made history. At Penn State, he began to create victorious teams
as soon as he took charge and has never yet failed. Although beset bv
disappointments that would cause others to give up in despair “Bez”
d . o lf dly W aT in l d 3t hi l ,aSk and h ? s almost accomplished the
impossible. What other coach would have bucked circumstances as
he has this year and yet produced a team that could hold and gain on
a combination as heavy and as strong as the Navy team?
The alumni can rest assured that as long as Bezdek remains under
wl? w*n‘l ardS of ~ h e ? lu ? and White, there is a coach at Penn State
who will keep the institution on a par with the best.

For twelve years as President oC the
Pennsylvania State College. I saw with;
no small concern the number of its stu
dents increase from nine hundred to
three thousand and the facilities for
giving them an all-’rouml training not
increasing .in the same proportion. The
state appropriations supplied to a cer
tain degree the necessary class-rooms,
laboratories, and shops for the student:
hut did not take care of ills eating and
sleeping uuarters, of his needs in time
of sickness, of his training in the social
usages and customs of life, and especial
ly of his religious ami ethical training.
_ R. B. Colvin
To supply these essentials of life at
Penn State is the object of the present
call that Is being made upon the college
alumni and people of the stato. The
success of the effort to raise an emer
gency building fund of two million dol
lars will enable the college of the people
to supply a well-rounded training to the
ambitious and worthy hoys and girls
of the Commonwealth. That Is why I
want to see it succeed.
BOTANISTS TO STUDY

STUDENTS WARNED OF
SCARLET FEVER CASES
Health Service Reports Number of
Cases Discovered and Ex
plains Precautions
A, number of _ eases of scarlet fever
have been reported by the College
Health Service, and Dr. J. P. Ritenour
takes this opportunity to warn the stu
dent body of the danger of the disease.
The Pennsylvania Department of
Health sends forth the following men
tion:
“Scarlet fever is a highly contagious
disease but not all persons are highly
susceptible to it. Failure to contract the
disease when intimately exposed to it
unforunutely does not give the assur
ante that one may not develop it on a
similar occasion.
“It is essential that each case of scar
let fever be isolated at the earliest pos
sible stage of the disease and that oth
er members of the household are kept
away from the patient until the physi
cian pronounces him recovered. It is
just as important to quarantine mild
types of scarlet fever as the severe
forms for they are almost equally con
tagious. The fact that many mild cases
escape detection and quarantine ac
counts largely for the j>ervalcnee of the
' disease."
Scarlet fever is caused by an uniden
tified microorganism which is readily
transferred from the sick to other per-
sons. Tim disease develops in from
three to seven days after exposure to
the infection. Scarlet fever begins sud
denly. usually with vomiting and a fev
er. After about twenty-four hours the
skin breaks out with a red eruption be
ginning in the throat and on the chest.
Tlte eruption in the throat causes it to
be sore and the tongue to be red like ti
strawberry.
The principal diagnostic marks are
sudden onset of fever with vomiting and
sore throat, followed in a few hours by
a red eruption on the skin. The scarlet
fever germs themselves may be so viru
lent that they produce death. They may
produce.poisons which often cause kid
ney diseases. The severe complications
of the disease are usually due to strep
tococci that grow on the special germs
of scarlet fever. Tho streptcocci often
produce earache, running ears, mastoid
disease, enlarge dglumls, and abscesses
of the neck.
Although there is no reason to pro
claim an epidemic of scarlet fever In
State College it behooves tho students to
be on the lookout for these symptoms.
Uvea use of the necessary quarantine
which follows the contraction of this
disease it is par.ifiilarly desirable that
it be kept within control. The Health
Service is endeavoring 10 detect these
first cases ami i-a.h • them, thereby
preventing a ser! -u.- spread of the dis-
