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. The
Commencement committee is to be commended on its action
