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. He
spent the early,part of his life on a farm in Clarion county, worked his

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. - -

the development of basketball at Penn
State Foi a number of years, “Dutch”
has been devoting.most of ills tim«
during the fall to tho freshman football

During the winter It has been his cus

At the end of his undergraduate cai

Then came a period of four years dur

at developing basketball at Penn State,
until "Dutch" returned to State Col

The growth of this .college has been

think I would call It a Kingdom college
with tho very broadest world service

founded it and w<ho are now here
working in it and for it.
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. We now
