Member of Eastern lnlereolleglute >euvp.iper Assort ition FRIDAY. JUNE 5, 1925 THE WORRY EVIL There are just two periods during the academic year when the average student worries over his books—the weeks immediately pic ceding final examinations in February and June. At vanous other intervals he may think seriously about his couiscs, but generally it takes the thought oi exams to make him actually wony The sit uation is unfortunate. The very word worry suggests fear and J helplessness, two tilings which are hardly compatible with the clear mental cffecicncy so es sential in the preparation for hnals. It is quite possible that the average student does actually fear them, feels helpless before the ex ams for which he may justly feel himself unprepared If this be the case, he is all the more mistaken in allowing hunseli to worry about them, tor it is then onlv upon his clear'rcasomng and cool acquisition of the essential points that his success can rest. • It is indeed unfortunate that those who most need complete con trol oi their faculties are the first to succumb to the worrv evil Wor ry is a weakness, an unconscious excuse for stalling that has an es pecial appeal to the naturally weak student Once indulged, it is a wrench thrown into the mental machinery, a wrench that effectually prevents any effort at energetic concentration. liffcciency becomes an impossibility; instead of attempting to master a subject and make an acceptable grade in the final, the student shrinks back with per spiration on his bcow and fear chilling his spine, to gaze helplessly at an apparently hopeless task ■ E\en for the ordinarily brilliant student, worry often proves a dangerous maladv, everyone is tamihar with the man who does con sistently good work in class bur who "loses his head”—worries—in his blue-book quizzes and fails miserably. 1 If they are to make a creditable showing in the finals next week, those students who are prone to the worrying habit would do well to employ every eftort of will to curb it, for to indulge is disastrous HUMAN PROFESSORS Down in Princeton. New Jersey, there is a professor of English who, to use the slang of the modern undergraduate, is a “bear at put ting across" lectures Sons of the Tiger inform us that at the close of each of his lectures, he is greeted with a thunderous round of ap plause, a custom that has grown with the institution, not simply for the sake of making it a custom but because his messages invariably merit the appreciative manner m which they are received This applause may rightfully be interpreted as a genuine ex pression of gratitude from several hundred undergraduates who arc more than willing to honor a professor who has made a sincere effort to be human as well as instructive Although such a phenomenon is unheard of at Penn State, it is generally known that there arc <i few instructors here Who give the impression that they are favoring one wuh their presence, and sen cl students away at the end ot the term with a dislike for the subjects which thev teach Several reasons for this visible attitude on the part of certain instructors are to be found in the answers to a questionnaire which was distributed among the seniors of Harvard university One man wrote: "As I understand it, the promotion of professors and their increases in salary depend nor on their ability to teach men or to in spire them to work, but upon their ability to turn out at stated inter vals a book upon some subject pertaining to their field of research Because of this system there is a double temptation tor piofessors to neglect their students, because it is more interesting to write books and it is also their best means of winning n larger salary. "The result is that the student, as a human being, is almost en tirely neglected ..I believe that a professor should be first a teacher and then a writer” Another said. "I found gieat scholars trying to be teachers and failing, while outside, in tutoring schools, great teachers, who did not have time to be scholars, were succeeding ihere were notable exceptions, blit this was the rule.” Says the Harvard Crimson on this subject* "Most professors, even in the most elementary courses, presuppose on the part of their students, an interest which does not exist. For that reason, they feel that they are fulfilling their duties if they relate facts, in no matter how cold and dreary a manner” Any course in College may be made interesting, and failure of the professor to accomplish this implies the opposite to success Relating facts in a clear and concise manner has never given any professor a place of esteem and respect in the hcai ts of his students. 'lhe instructor must also be a master in the art ol being human—even if it hurts. WELCOME NEWS The decision of the College committee on Commencement to stage the 1925 graduation exercises out-doors will undoubtedly meet with the whole-hearted approval of the entire student body. In the past, only a small number of those visitors and undergraduates who wished to attend the exercises could be accommodated, and a limited attendance was necessary. , In many of the leading colleges and universities of the country, Commencement exercises have been staged out-doors for years, and in addition to securing a larger attendance, the ceremonies have been more impressive It is estimated that twenty-dne hundred persons may be accomodated comfortably under the new system, in comparison with the fourteen-hundred seating capacity of the Auditorium.
