News Editor this Issue WHAT DO WE SEEK? "Our college system before long is likely to see revision. It is clear that tens of thousands of mediocre young people ought not to be kept in institutions up to twenty-two years of age merely to go to foot ball games, join clubs, and indulge in the over-rated past-time of mak ing acquaintances. They are often less fit for productive life at twenty-two than they were at eighteen. They ought not to be carried along so far unless they seek something worth having." The above article, appearing recently in a prominent magazine, presents a problem. Our interest, as students, lies only in the last sentence. What do we seek? An education, of course. No graduate has ever regretted going to college, but how often have we heard him say, "If 1 had it to do over again I should do differently." All of which behooves us to take a personal inventory and discover, what we are seeking. The undergraduate places altogether too high a value on ingen uousness and resourcefulness. He puts off the evil day by saying, "There is plenty of time. I'll manage somehow or other when the time comes for action.” He is proud of his ability to meet emergen cies; hence be does not plan and take precautions that emergencies may not arise. It is easy to drift through college, taking traditional, con ventional studies that others take, following the lines of least resist ance, electing snap courses. Lack of definite purpose is one of the most pernicious habits of human beings. It is hard mental work to plan, to consider, to study, to analyze, in short, to think. It is easier to await the knock of oppor tunity than to study her ways and then go out and capture her. She treads paths which may be known; she has a schedule which may be learned; she may thus be met as certainly as by appointment. Those who await her knock at the door may'be far from where she passes. Nowadays, an education is fraught with few sacrifices on the part of the student; many are in college merely upon the insistence of their parents and the inducement of their friends. Since we are here, all of us should realize our sublime opportunity. We must arouse our selves to the vital importance of ideals, of a clear, definite purpose based upon accurate knowledge and sound judgment—common sense. We need to acquire the habit of searching out what is the burden of the world’s wisdom and opinion in reference to the main issues of life. We need to develop the habit of questioning and examining accepted beliefs, whether of common knowledge, or in science, business, morals or other fields. Trie student should work out for himself tentative standards of economic, moral, and spiritual values; he should learn to heed the use of time and resources; to define his attitude toward in dustry and social life, toward the live issues of the day, and toward life itself. When we have matriculated in the great school of exper ience we shall find that the only difference between genius and dunce, millionaire and tramp, is a willingness to pay the price. "The fault, dear Brutus," says Cassius, "is not in-our stars, but in ourselves that we are underlings.” AN ADVANCE NOTICE TO DAD It is time to resurrect the old stereotype, "Eight more days until vacation.” If Easter has an astounding capacity for furnishing joy to the heart of the average man, then this faculty must surely be raised to the nth power in determining its worth to the college student, for in addition to bringing him the ordinary joys of the Easter season, it affords him the opportunity of making use of a breathing period—a chance to get that "second wind” which is so essential to the successful completion of the semester’s work. During the last two years Penn State students have been setting aside ten or fifteen minutes of their Easter vacation for the purpose of extending Dad the invitation to visit the college at the time of the annual observance of Fathers’ Day. Elsie, Jane ,and Elizabeth, may not like this infringement on their rights to all of your time, but never theless, Dad needs an advance notice, and even a month and a half is not too much time for his consideration of the matter. Most Dads are busy men and it may take considerable planning on their part to get away for the week-end which is set aside in their honor on the Penn State calendar. Fathers’ Day was established at this institution two years ago. The success with which the affair met in both observances warranted its establishment as a permanent social event of the college year. It gives Dad a chance to see the college at work and at play, to see the purpose to which his money is being put, and to get better acquainted with his son and daughter. By all means, see that Dad gets here for Fathers’ Day. Give him sufficient advance notice by informing him at Easter time of the in tentions of the college and invite him to participate in the joys of May fifth. Editorials which criticize a certain element of the student body for its careless actions are not popular but we consider them a necessary evil. To continually heap unpleasant epithets upon violators of var ious customs and rules of conduct seems to be an indoor sport at which all ambitious young editors must become proficient. Strange as it may seem, it is not our nature to criticize continually, yet conditions about the college are often such that we, of the pen-pushing clan, are forced to go out muckraking. Ye ed is an idealist who has his Utopia and he is apt to defame all those who cross his path. The present cause for our editorial wrath is the annual problem of the green sward and the unsightly paths connected with it. Since the snow has disappeared and the ground has absorbed some of the excess moisture, students have yielded to the temptation of taking short-cuts across the campus. The result, as usual, is the appearance of a faint outline of a path which promises to become more deeply fixed as spring advances. The barbarian who crosses the grass now leaves the rude imprint of his shoes upon the tender green. Our campus has enough unsightly ruins and near Tuins and we cannot afford to destroy any thing which has potential beauty. Granting that the members of the three upper classes have the pri vilege of walking on the grass we ask them to use their discretion. Why should it be necessary for us to have to warn against the flagrant abuse of a right? SUCCESS TO THE WRESTLERS At this time we desire to extend our best wishes to the members of the wrestling team for their successful participation in the intercol legiate contest at Ithaca over the week-end. The final and most gruel ling test of the season faces the Penn State matmen as they are about to meet the pick of the wrestlers from rival eastern colleges and uni versities. Our veteran team has thus far passed through a successful season and judging from the ability and skill shown in past meets we confidently expect big things of it in the coming struggle.

It would be inter esting to know how many who aro , “wondering what to do next year” have investigated the opportunities for work in the developing countries of tho world. China, India, and South Amer ica are developing particularly fast and | offer unparalleled opportunities for ser [ vice to the world through helping to guide these nations to strong and heal thy maturity. If they arc left to devel op alone they may he a menace to the world. Our opportunity is in helping develop the future leaders. There are needs for men and women who have hid thorough training in various lines of work. For example. Robert College of Constantinople is look ing for a man to teach General Science and Physical Geography, and another :o teach workshop work in tho engin eering school. The American Universi ty of Beirut, Syria, wants a Civil En gineering graduate to teach Drawing and Descriptive Goomotry. Besides these specific calls, various church hoards have funds available to send men and women of the highest calibre to all parts of the world. The calls of I the various boards, summarized, include '9O men and women for educational work, Including agriculturists, physical directors. English teachers, Modern Language teachers, general scientists, domestic scientists, school superinten- I dents and princljKils. stenographers, [etc: 540 general missionaries for evan- I gcllstic work, and 239 men and women trained in medicine. The average per son does not reallzo that the Held is so broad 03 this. A field that includes so much is well worth Investigating. The privilege of helping some of our loss fortunate brothers to grow Is the great- est work in tho world, and the oppor tunities overseas are tremendous. A COLLEGIAN READER Penn Statesmen VANE L. HENRY W History repeats itself, it is sold, and n record of athletics at Penn Slate shows that the remarkable success of the Nittany teams In the last three years is but a repetition of two similar periods In 1911-1912 and 1905-1908. From 1905 to 1908 there was a notable group of men who by their feats on the track and football field lifted Penn State from athletic 1 mediocrity to a place among the leading colleges at that time. One of the most prominent of these men j was V. L. Henry, a great football play ler and a greater track man, whose | achievements on the cinder path have never been equaled at this college. Henry entered Penn State Just twen ty years ago and began at once to tako part in athletics, devoting the fall to football and the spring to track. I His progress in both of these sports was rapid. In his sophomore year he became a member of the varsity track team and the following season devel oped into a fast and dependable sprin- I ter. Henry's junior year was featured by a long and hard fight for supremacy on the cinder path with R. B. Arnold, captain of the track team and a sprin- I tor of great ability. The competition between the two men was keen and with Arnold setting a pace that broke I the college record In the ”440" that year, Henry developed rapidly into & steady sprinter. Henry was elected captain of the track team in bis senior year and led his teammates through a successful season. Lafayette was defeated in a dual meet and at the Penn Relays the Nittany track squad made a strong I showing. In all of these meets Henry led the field in the sprint events, but during Commencement Week in a dual I meet with Pitt, tho Nittany sprinter, { running his last race for Penn State, rose to his greatest heights. In the hundred yard dash, Henry was off with 1 tho crack of the starter's gun and nine and three-fifths seconds later broke the . tape, smashing the college record and I unofficially tleing the world's record for that event. Later In the meet Henry I equaled the college mark set by Arnold l the year before in the by run- WRKSLEYS THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN nlnff the dJatoaco in flfty-one and two- j fifths seconds.

SINETY.EIOIIT CENTS FOR A MAN for nt any ™ omo " t >’ olnt3 mn J 1,0 ,nl , Hi-fi that will spell victory or defeat. ' (The Dally Texan) A leading scientist lias ascertained' the exact ingredients of a man. After dissecting, analyzing and weighing tlfe ; component parts and materials of the. body, the scientist has discovered that i these ingredients, ns such, are worth the total sum of ninety-eight conts. Each man contains, so he declared, the following: fat enough for seven bars of soap; iron enough for a medium sized nail.; sugar enough to All a shaker; Hmo enough to whitewash a chicken coop: phosphorous enough to mnkc 2200 matches; magnesium enough for a dose of magnesia; potassium onough to explode a toy cannon; and sulphur enough to rid a dog of fleas. If the market is unusually high, a dollar might he realized from the entire col lection. Individuals who are prone to value everything in terms of physical and material measurements and values will do well to ponder on the analysis of the scientist. It is true that the estimate does not include the “use value’* or tho intangible value of tho entire collection of ingredients when functioning ns a well adjusted machine —as a human body. But Is it not true, howover, that many people fail to realize the real val ue of perfect co-ordination of their phy sical forces' or dissipate their ability and power to create and serve, or even destroy the proper functioning of the body through vices or lack of care? Likewise the scientist does not in* elude the value of the intellect or the Importance of the spiritual nature In the makeup of man. There may seem to be a grave omission in the calcula tion; yet many Individuals arc doing the identical thing, when they disre gard the tremendous value of a trained and educated .mind or overlook the spiritual aido of their being. A man who fails to preserve and u tilizo his ability to produce and serve, who neglects to train his mind for pro ductive work, who disregards the im portance of hi.s spiritual nature, is, af ter all. worth Just the markot value of the ingredients of which he is com posed—about ninety-eight cents. If a purchaser should bo particular about the sources of his mnterinls, he might even protest that this sum is too high for some men.

Y. These companies produce sulphite end soda pulp, paper, caustic aoda, chlorine, heavp adds and salts, sugar, coke,gas, steel, ammonia, benzol, etc. The more Important operations of Chemical Engineering, as typified by the abetfe processes, are studied tystematkally by means of tests and expert* mental tfork on full scale plant apparatus. One of the objects of this work is to fix in the mind of the student the principles of Chemical Engineer* ing And to correlate these principles with practice. The sJork Is non-remunerative and is Independent of control by the plant management, and therefore the whole ' ettention of the student h directed to the study of Chemical .Engineering. Th« total number edmitted to the school is limited and the students, studying and experimenting in small groups,' receive individual instruction. Before admission to the School of Chemical Engineering Practice, all students must have adequate preparation in chemistry and engineering. The able student can complete die requirements for the Master ef Science degree in one and one*half yean. At the present time, thirty -one colleges and universities ere represented among the men attending the School of Chemical Engineering Practice end these men comprise over one*half the enrollment.

Such a trif ling detail ns the Intercollegiate Cham rfonshlp depended on the outcome of that oncounter. Both teams were even ly matched but In the second half Yale nrted and with only three minutes to play, waa leading by a score of 19 ■to 16. Then Cornell got the bad and af ;t two mV\utes of oxciting and Hpec ta:ulnr playing, eagcd a field goal that narrowed Yale's lead to a single point.! With but a few seconds to play the Blue and White team got the tap off vn! before Cornell could secure the ball the game was over. Connell lost the championship this season by a hair. Of the three other dofeats that the Ithacans suffered, only one, at the hands of the weak Universi ty of Pennsylvania quintet was by a large margin. Yale earlier In the sea son downed Cornell by a single field goal and Columbia dropped a winning tally through the basket Just os the whistle ended the game.

The links game should meet with great success for Interest is rap idly Increasing among the students and the tournnment will have the ob vious advantage that the matches can '.<> staged at any time.

CHARLEY PADDOCK Track fans who were counting on seeing Charley Paddock burn up the eastern tracks in the Intercollegiate* this spring, have been disappointed again. At a recent meeting of the I. C. A. A. A. A. the application of the Uni versity of Southern California for ad mission to the Association was shelved for another year on tho grounds that sufficient information was not avail able as to the eligibility rules of the Pacific coast university. Accordingly the world-famous sprinter will not be able to show his heels to such eastern i stars as Leconey of Lafayette and Le } vor of Pennsylvania. Paddock has been asked, however, to compete In an international track meet that will be hold in Paris next May. This meet will be the largest of its kind evor staged and will have the college championship of the world as its stake. Twenty nations have already entered and will be represented at the meet. THE WRESTLING INTERCOLLEG -IATES With the annual intorcolleglate wrestling tournament but a few days off, Penn State. Cornell, and Columbia appear to bo the logical contenders for he crown. Of these three teams, the Cornell aggregation *is favored to re peat its last year’s victory for it has al ready defeated Columbia by the close score of 13 to 11 and the Xlttany team by a more decisive score.
