THE FRESHMAN CAMPAIGN
sa t Is , titsble -fact, attracting the attention of the leas
hbservnis that state educational demands are increasin:
year by year. It is likewise incontestable that the state legislatur
-has failed, and is failing, to provide sufficient funds to meat then
demands expressed in the growing list of applicants for admission 1
Pennsylvania's land grant institution. This situation, carefully stud
ied and analyzed, was responsible for the conviction that Penn Stat
is the logical, and should be the recognized, head of the educations
system of the commonwealth. And this conviction, in turn, was re
.sponsible for the subsequent inauguration of a great two milliot
dollar campaign, the proceeds of which would be devoted to the erec
tion of those buildings that would serve the health and welfare o
'the undergraduates.
And in serving the undergraduates in this most important phas
of their college existence, it was felt that they should be given at
opportunity to lend material aid in making possible the ultimate rca'
ization of this proposed building program. The result was a studen
drive with a goal of one hundred thousand dollars as an issue of th
major campaign. Each undergraduate was asked to subscribe on
hundred dollars before a certain date set for soliciting outside ai

And it will remain forever n bright spot. in the history of the .insti
tujion that they were not found -wanting.
'This college year, when Penn State opened her portals to th
seekers of higher education, noticeable changes - were seen in the Ni
tany family. Many familiar faces were missing, gone- out into th
world with the distinctive stamp -of Penn State men upon out,
Bu
the family was recompensed in full so far as quantity is concernet
.And it is soon to find out whether or not the quality is up to Penn Stat
standards. For the eleven hundred odd newcomers who were admit
ted •to the institution this fall are newcomers no longer. They at
now well•established members of -the great Nitteny clan. And as sue
they deserve an opportunity to help share its burdens.
All preliminary arrangements for making possible the new stu
dents' participation in the college emergency building fund have beet
completed. The goal has been set at one hundred percent participr
tion. The aid of both men and women students will be solicited. Tit
men's division will get under way with a mass meeting for all nee
students to be held in the Auditorium on Monday evening, whe:
the project will be outlined in detail. And it is important that all firs
year students be in attendance at that meeting.
It is hardly necessary to point out the fact that it is this year':
freshman class that will reap the most material benefits fiom th
realization of the purpose of the campaign. Undergraduates may b
:educed to enlist their financial aid for this reason, but it should no
be the prime mover in influencing student participation. Each an
every Penn Sttate undergraduate if he has in any way sensed the spit
it upon which the institution is founded, must feel the desire an
realize the need of doing something for his college. And here is a:

Truly, it is a,supreme test of the loyalty of Penn State's non

even as their older brothers and sisters proved themselves eque
to it.
UNPLEASANT THOUGHTS
'Vncri'inn is aver. The serious side of college life once more prr
s its Ir T"rn! evominotions for this semester are but two week!
n It is - n unricasant thought, to be sure, but there is
-no use dodg
inr it. The issue must be faced, and the sooner the pleasure-seeker o'
yesterday becomes the student of today, the better it will he for both
undergraduates and instructors.
Dreaming about the good times nt home is a much more enjoy.
able occupation than thinking about the hard times ahead. But, un
fortunately, it is not generally recognized as the best method to bc
employed in an effort to remain in college. With the semester examin
ations so near at hand it behooves each and every student to think
seriously of - the trying ordeal that faces him--to think now, not after
it is over. Best possible use should be made of the remaining twc
weeks in an effort to get the most out of the daily recitations and in
preparation for the final tests. It must be remembered that a spurt
at Übe end oft-times places a runner in the lead.
About this time last year, an important change was made in the
examination schedule. Tests were reduced in length from four to
two hours in order to provide for more than two examinations in one
day. The work of the semester was condensed to a great degree and
more importance was attached to the daily recitation. The length of
the examination was reduced proportionately with the reduction of
time. And the change was generally conceded to be n decided im
provement. It represents a forward step in the educational policy of
the institution in keeping with the sentiment throughout the country,
fast becoming a prevailing one, which questions the benefits derived
from final examinations.
It is to be hoped titat•this semester's examinations will be conduct
ed along similar lines. For if a student is hurried he does not give his
best work and the test fails to show his true worth. The human element
is always one .to •be considered.
