IN DEFENSE OF FOOTBALI
As the king of college sports, football receives more post-sea
con publicity than any other branch of athletics. Unfortunately,
all of Hits publicity is not favorable to the gridiron gaine.
Intercollegiate competition, as it exists today, has its opponents
who believe that the entire system of college athletics is detrimental
to the physical development of the average college student. These
:elf-appointed critics, as a rule, select football on which to vent their
dis•tpproval because of the prominent place that the game occupies in
the eyes of the general public.
Not a little of this unfavorable criticism has been directed
proinst the financial side of football Huge stadiums, receipts and
attendance figures that run into hundreds of thousands of dollars have
I..illed forth a protest from the lodges of the gridiron guise. Whole
ale "commercialization" of the sport is their charge.
And to the casual observer their statements are anfply just:-
lied The spect : iele of ten thousand students intently watching a
iamb:ill game is a common one Surely too much emphasis is placed
upon the doings of the eleven undergraduates who represent them on
the barred field.
But the defenders of modern football have an argument that
i< irrefutable. Those crowded stadiums may resemble the Coli
seum in the days'of ancient Rome but they bring in a rich financial
return to the colleges And, in addition to bearing the brunt of sup
porting the minor branches of athletics, this revenue from football
provides necessary facilities for extensive programs of intra-mural
sports
Perhaps there is no better e•ample of a college that has reaped
a rich financial retain from football than Penn State. For a number
rut yeais the college has been on a "starvation diet" of appropria
tions for the construction of needed buildings Inadequate as are
the facilities for physical education at this institution at the pres
ent time, it is safe to assume that athletics, both intercollegiate
and intra-mural, would have been in much worse straits had it
not been for the financial support that has been derived from
football.
the annual financial statement, issued recently by the Athletic
Association, offers striking proof that this assumption is correct.
During the 1922.23 season, football, with a fat surplus of more than
fifty-nine thousand dollars, was the only sport at Penn State that
showed a profit And this surplus has enabled the athletic authorities
to make a gift of twenty-one thousand dollars toward the construction
of the new Varsity Hall, to purchase land valued at eleven thousand
dollars for the college golf course, to construct new stands and play
ing grounds on New Beaver Field and lastly to pledge one hundred
thousand dollars to the construction of a new physical education
building.
Whatever arguments the critics of modern football may advance,
they must be remarkably strong ones to overcome the benefits that
will be derived by Penn State students from the facilities for physic
al education that will be provided from these funds Let larger sta
diums be built , Let attendance figures soar to the hundred thousand
mart. , To Penn State it will mean an increased revenue and an op
portunity to provide adequate facilities for the physical education of
her students.

Word comes that President Thomas has recently announced the
creation of a new department at Penn State. It is to be known as the
department of Ceramic Engineering and is to function under .the
School of Mines It is but one more forwardstep in the general pro
giant of expansion for the Nittany institution.
Pennsylvania, with nearly one thousand separate clay working
industries employing over twelve thousand wage earners, stands sec
ond of all state in the value of its yearly output of clay products. Yet,
young men of the commonwealth desiring to make this industry the
basis for their life work have always been required to go outside the
state for higher education in the tine of their chosen procession. But
such will be the case no longer.'
\Vali the beginning of the second semester, Penn State will he in
a position to offer n four year training course for ceramic engi
neers. And assurance is given that men desirous of training for
this important work will have the best instruction available. J. B.
Shaw, recently appointed head of the new. department, with
fifteen years experience in the field of ceramic enginebring,
is the man entrusted with the future development of this branch at
Penn State.
Central Pennsylvania provides special, advantages for instruc
tion in this work by the near location of many clay products plants
It is a source of satisfaction to friends of Penn State that this
institution should be the first to the commonwealth to provide
means for higher education in such an ,important industry of the
state.

Prxr. new architecture transcends detail and expresses
.L the component solids of the great buildings of today
and tomorrow. Gigantic profiles are reared against the
sky—true expression of structural facts has now come
into its own in architectural design, linking architect and
engineer ever more closely together.
Certainly modem invention—modem engineering skill
.; and organization, will prove more than equal to the
demands of the architecture of the future
