OUR FORESTERS Sadness lies deep in the hearts of Penn State students and friends because of the request made by Governor Pinchot to the Board of Trustees of the college that the work of the Forestry Department be transferred to Mont Alto A breaking up of the campus family is threatened as the parents have been asked to send one of their child ren away to a foreign institution. There is little wonder that the college is proud of its Forestry De partment and that it mourns the threatened loss Since the beginning of the course in 1906, a noteworthy growth in popularity has attended the work of the Department The course of instruction has been so developed as to include, at the present time, a thorough instruction in the principles of the profession and a general training in Liberal Arts, Science, Agriculture _and Engineering, thus, the Penn State Forestry graduate has acquired a modern education as it is conceived by the foremost educators of the day This training has not been gamed without conscientous applica tion on the part of both the student and the instructor The student had previously chosen Penn State as furnishing the course he desires The instructor, although underpaid, had the courage of their convic tion that the Penn State course more nearly approached the ideal and that they were serving the Commonwealth best advantage in building up this course and in preparing men to the best of their.abil lty During the course, the forestry student is given ample opportun ity m outdoor work, each vacation being spent in the woods of the state forests Before graduation, a large project, including a working plan, must be completed in the south This is practically the same work that is done in the Yale Forestry School and in those of other states. The ninety-four students in the course here at the college are enrolled in one of the four courses; Lumbering, Forestry, City For estry, or Wood Utilization Besides this, forestry is taught to stud ents in the Agricultural School and to summer session students The nature studies, as given by Professor Green, are marked by a large attendance from all schools. The'men in the course deserve no little consideration in review of the proposed change Together with the acquisition of this prac cal and theoretical training, they are given the privilege of participa tion in the general life of a large institution. Proof that Penn State has graduated forestry students well equipped to solve technical and general problems is shown in the success that has attended their post graduate work What a blow this proposed change will be to the forestry students already in college and those in the state who anticipate matriculation in such a course* Members of the three lower classes in the Forestry Department cannot continue their course, unless they resume study in some other school These men must leave the state and enter a course in some other institution; Pennsylvania will have no such course These men will be lost to the state as will those other pros pective students in the Commonwealth who have not yet matriculated Being averse to the limitations in the way of a broad education that the change would impose, they will be forced to seek instruction in some other state forestry school The already low rank of the state m comparison with other states as regards Education will not be rais ed unless the proposal is altered, but rather it is probable that every interest in the state will feel the effects of such a radical step Governor Pinchot is moved by a praiseworthy motive in advocat ing a change There is a duplication of expense and this is unnecess ary However, we suggest a more efficient way of accomplishing this end. Since it is shown by statistics that Penn State trains a forester at an average cost per student to the state per year at one hundred thirty dollars less than does Mont Alto, why not move Mont Alto to Penn State Being the smaller school, this can be done more easily a merger thus accomplished without such a revolutionary change as proposed Granted that Mont Alto posesses peculiar advantages in outdoor work, why not let it be retained for that purpose only and let the students at Mont Alto be offered those far greater privileges ob- tamable at Penn State 0 There seems to be sound judgment'involved in the solution out lined above There is wisdom in merging the two institutions in the interest of economy and efficiency. Penn State is well equipped to furnish the theoretical instruction required to a larger number than is Mont Alto Penn State is by far the larger institution and bears-a closer relationship to the state for it was created and maintained by the state Mont Alto is possesed with excellent facilities for outdoor work and these could well be utilized for practical work as a part of a state university forestry course It is hoped that the trustees will consider all phases of the case carefully before making a decision which will mean so much at this critical time in the history of the institution. The Governor as a member of the .Board of Trustees and as the Executive of the State, is asked to weigh carefully the two courses open to action and to recog nize the wisdom which is contained in the mode of procedure which we suggest. Capitol Hill is entrusted with the future of-Penn State and we ask that it fulfill that trust ARTHUR RUGH Penn State has the honor to be a host this week-end to Mr. Arthur Rugh who comes to the campus for the purpose of holding a series of four meetings under the auspices of the Y M. C. A. Following in the footsteps of Sherwood Eddy and J Stitt Wilson, he will bring to the attention of the college students those matters which are of all im portance. "The Pennsylvania Dutchman,” as Mr Rugh sometimes calls him self, comes well recommended by the work he has accomplished.

Colvin way through Wittenberg College where he was a member of the col lege glee club, President of the college Y. M, C* A.," member of the varsity basketball and baseball teams, and a captain of the nine in his senior year He then became affiliated with the “Y” movement and gradually increased the scope of his work until he became National Student Secretary for China. Hugh comes to Penn State with a message so .vital and important that the student cannot afford to miss one of these meetings His de livery and presentation of subject matter is so interesting that the rapt attention of his audience is almost always insured. 1 An opportunity such ns this comes once during the college year and can be considered a worthy event. The sensation that he created at Silver Bay last sum mer influenced the local “Y” to fnvitc him to Penn-State A crowded Auditorium should greet the appearance of Mr. Rugh at all of the four meetings. The talks that he will deliver con cern the college men of today and the issues involved cannot be dodged This is evidenced by the fact that such meetings are being held on both coasts .Wilson is at Oregon and Rugh at Penn State. It remains for the student to take advantage of the experience and the advice which these world figures offer. - - j Campus Gossip Puns lire unforgivable, but It is i J fact that you will Rugh It 1£ you do mu heir Arthur Rugh toda> And s mi will thank u*.

To me. naturally, one of the most interesting phases of oui development has been this agricultural wfark in which we are so vially.'interested I think it is clear to all Penn State people that the Chinese have assumed special leadership In this field and we have organized our College of Agrlcul tuie under a Chinese Board of Man agement Last year was -our first year under this new organization.
