SEPTEMBER 10, 1923 WELCOME TO PENN STATE With the opening of a new college year and the enrollment of a new college class, many unfamiliar faces appear on the campus in ever increasing numbers To these newcomers, members of the Class of 1927, about to start the struggle of four years of collegiate existence, Penn State bids a hearty welcome Fortunate, indeed, are these young people, admitted to an institu tion which must yearly turn away, for lack of accommodations, hun dreds of prospective students clamoring eagerly at its portals. Twice fortunate are they to be admitted at a time when Penn State awaits and is, indeed, started upon an era of expansion which will probably be remembered by unusual growth and added recognition throughout the country Such is the setting as the freshman dons his cap of green and steps forth into the limelight But there remains to be spoken a word of friendly advice which should be taken in the spirit of good fellow ship in which it is given. Probably the most inspiring thing about the Nittany institution is its atmosphere of friendliness and brotherly regard which paves the way for and insures the perpetuation of that wonderful Penn State spirit. It is a standard to be lived up to by each and every incoming class, a standard set by the revered founders of the college, a standard worthy of men. And it is to be approached only by a whole-hearted observance of and regard for Penn State's customs and traditions. It is an inspiration to all first year men and women. One other point might well be mentioned at this time for the guid ance of Penn State's new sons and daughters. It is a question of more personal interest, a question of purpose. A college education is un questionably a thing of infinite value, but it does not, in itself, fit a man or woman for productive life unless it is coupled ind linkedovith a definite aim in life. Lack of definite purpose is one of the most pernicious habits of human beings. It is easy to drift through college, taking traditional, conventional studies that others take, following the lines of least re sistance. But where does it lead° No graduate has ever regretted going to college but many have regretted taking courses for which they were not fitted. It is a matter for serious thought and consideration. Take heed, freshman A personal inventory at the start might save a world of trouble at the finish. Let each newcomer discover, before it is too late, just what he is seeking. IT IS WELL The chapel question, one of Penn State's livest issues, has been solved. The method of solution takes on the form of a compromise. A student petition for the abolition of the then existing form of com pulsory chapel, drawn up by the members of Student Council in the spring and sponsored by a general prevailing feeling about the camp us, was brought to the attention of the Board of Trustees and Council of Administration at their annual spring conclave and was immediate ly rejected. But it was rejected only in part. Awakened to the urgent necessity of some action being taken, and withal the justness of the student appeal, the college trustees accepted a plan proposed by the president of the college, and authorized the filling of a post left vacant for the past eight years, the post of col lege chaplain. It was a step taken wisely and marked the solution of a troublesome problem. Compulsory chapel will still be maintained, but Penn State stud ents have the assurance that it will be a different kind of compulsory chapel. Under the guidance of the new college chaplain, The Rev. Dr. Fraser Metzger, a national figure in religious, civic, political and we fare life, it is promised that daily chapel exercises will take on a differ ent aspect and be a benefit to those in attendance. Penn State men need no reminder that the new chaplain, an ad visor and "daddy" to the students, will be supported earnestly and sin cerely. Pent-up feeling, voiced in the spring and merited by then ex isting conditions, will have no place on the Manny campus this fall. The whole-hearted assurance of Penn State's president has been given that the appointment of a college chaplain is the best solution of the chapel question. All loyal Penn Staters will abide by the decision. "PREXY" AND PENN STATE "Penn State is the greatest educational opportunity in America." So said Dr. John M. Thomas when he made his debut in this commun ity a little over two years ago as the newly-appointed president of the Pennsylvania State College. And so says "Prexy" Thomas today as he stands firmly by his convictions formed at that time and maintained through two tumultuous years in office, a man loved by his friends, feared by his enemies, and honored and respected by both. Despite unexpectedly heavy cuts in legislative appropriations and many discouraging reverses, he has kept gamely on, fighting his way through obstacles of a forbidding nature which would have stopped less fearless and determined men ere half begun. And he is still fighting, fighting for Penn State. The recent Pinchot cut of $BOO,OOO has failed to uproot his opinion about the Nittany institution. The wheels of progressive and intelligent effort for a greater Penn State once started in operation are not to be stopped until the goal is gained. "Prexy" means to see it through. Thinking Penn State students and alumni are warm in their ap preciation of what he has done and is now doing. It is for those un thinking ones in every community that this reminder is written. A silent worker, he seeks results, not praise. But tribute must be paid MIEETE Editor-to-Chid Amiga:lt Editor Manning Editor :longing Editor H. $ Morris, '25 W. L. Pratt, '2. , Miss 22 R.
