News Editor this issue 'Member of Eastern Intercollegiate "Newspaper Association FRIDAY, DECEMBER I-I, 1923 PROFESSOR WILLARD It is with a feeling of heart-felt sympathy for friends in bereave ment and a sense of almost personal loss that the COLLEGiAN wishes to add its sentiment to the many expressions of regret and sorrow occasioned by the death of Joseph Moody Willard, Professor of Mathematics at The Pennsylvania State College and administra tive Head of his Department for thirty consecutive years. The passing of Professor Willard, a moulder of men as well as a learned teacher of mathematics, is a blow to the college and to the country. But he has left a heritage to the institution which he loved by his life of unselfish devotion to the principles of loyalty and fi delity, by his untiring labors in the field of moral and spiritual excel lence, and by his influence on the lives of thousands of Penn State men who have enjoyed, at one time or other, the privilege of personal association with this Nittany pioneer. LET THERE BE LIGHT The question of lighting and illumination is of fundamental and vital importance in connection with the successful operation of any industrial establishment or concern. Of no less importance is it when considered from the viewpoint of the college undergraduate who is required to do much reading and writing in pursuit of scho lastic attainments. Daylight is, of course, the natural and most effective method of illumination. But the situation of class rooms and lecture halls does not always permit of sufficient lighting by this means. In such instances, artificial methods of illumination are resorted to and find popular favor in •the form of the electric lamp. And it is with . this form of illumination—not the kind, but the quantity and distri bution that fault is oft-times found. Some class rooms are equipped with such meager illuminating facilities, arranged with much apparent lack of scientific distribution of light, that severe eye-strain is necessitated in order to see the most legible blackboard writing front the rear of the room. It is not long before those individuals who arc unfortunate enough to have their names begin with last letters of the alphabet, accompan ied with a usual consequent seat assignment in the rear of the room, find their vision materially impaired and glasses becomes a necessary part of their physiognomy. Inadequate and defective lighting is entirely opposed to the laws of sanitation and effective output. Where poor lighting condi tions prevail, students can not be expected to do standard class room work. Intelligent and scientific illumination, preventing excessive glare and eyestrain, is essential to the health and efficiency of col lege undergraduates. AND TO ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS At last-. the day has arrived, a day anticipated by freshman and senior alike' with a righteous amount of pleasure, a day which marks the beginning of a holiday recess of more than a fortnight's duration. It is time to put dull text books away and rejoice. For the undergraduates at Penn State have earned the right to forget all class-room worries and campus cares and go home to a merry Christ- But all of the merriment must not be confined to the individual alone. Mother and Dad are deserving of a joyful yuletide; so is Penn State. An obligation is imposed upon each undergraduate going home for the holiday recess to do his bit toward bringing Christnras cheer to the hearts of his parents 'and his Alma Mater. The two million dollar campaign is still a live issue at Penn State and much can he done toward the final realization of its purpose by intelligent boost ing in the old home town. But it must be kept in mind that boosting is not bragging. Fresh men, going home for the first time after a three months' sojourn at college, are prohe to impress upon their friends and casual observers the fact that they are Penn State men. Unfortunately, this impression is not always favorable, especially when effected in a boastful man ner. It is a case of the institution •reflecting glory on the individual rather than the individual bringing honor to the college by conduct ing himself at all times as a man in the highest and truest sense of the word. Penn State has a reputation of which she is justly proud. Too often undergraduates are inclined to do things, unthinkingly it is true, which reflect more or less discredit upon the institution. At this critical stage in the history of the college, in its struggle to be come a great state university, much harm could be done by thought less students in creating a. wrong impression of the type of men in attendance at the institution. But the event of a holiday recess is not a time for too much serious thought. It is an occasion for rejoicing, for making merry in a wholesome sort of way. And may the COLLEGIAN, on the eve of this well-deserved vacation, wish to its friends and 'readers a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Editor-In-Chia .Managing Editor .Managing Editor 11. S.
