Member of Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1925 ANOTHER LOSS With the announcement that the College Chaplain. Dr Fraser Metzger, has resigned hit, post to accept the position of Dean of Men at Rutgcis university, Penn State icccives another telling blow. But four months ago, President Thomas east a bombshell into collegiate ciicles when he announced his lesignation hcio to take ovei the reins at Rutgeis. and once again the New Jersey institution gains another man who, by his fairness and squaie ncss, had won foi himself a place irt the heart of the student body. After caicful consideration, however, one cannot blame the Chaplain for his action. Human nature has so ordained man that he shall always be on the look-out for something better, and the opportunities that Dr. Metzgei will leceive at Rutgers aie by fai greater than Penn State could hope to offer for ycais to come Then again, the Chaplain and Dr. Thomas have been bosom friends foi ycais and it is only natuiai that the foimer should accept a position which would enable him to continue this asso ciation. When Piesident Thomas lesigned last June, many \entuicd the opinion that with him would go Chaplain Metzger, but the fallacy of this guess is obvious. Pci haps Dr. Metzgei knew that he could go to Rutgers with President Thomas at that time, but desned to remain at Penn State and make a success of Freshman Week, of which committee he was chairman. If sach wcie the case, it typifies the true spint of the man Coming here two ycais ago, Dr. Metzgei scon made himself a power for good on the campus. His never-failing devotion to his “boys and gills” and his ever-ieady sense of humor made him a real confidant; one who was to ti list and be ti usted. It is doubt ful if e\er befoie m the history of Penn State thcie has been a man who won the student body so completely to lus side m the shoit space of two jears as did Chaplain Metzger. Nor did the Chaplain fail to appieciate the type oi student with w’hicli he was associated. In an intciview yeslciday, Di. Metzger said: “I am leaving Penn State with a \ciy fine appreci ation of the type of men and women who make up the peisonnel of the faculty and student body. • I believe that Penn State has a lcmarkable future befoie it the chaiactor of men and w’omen on this campus is such as to give the best possible assur ance foi the futuie of the College.” Just two years ago, Di. Fraser Metzger aimed at Penn State, detei mined to make it a better place foi Ins being here Soon he will leave. Additional lines about his face and a head completely giay bear evidence of two ycais of service, two years spent not in vain. Dr. Met/ger takes with him the good wishes of the entne faculty and student bodies; lie leaves a vacancy that cannot easily be filled. Again, Penn State’s loss is Rutgers’ gain. FOOLISH LIKE A FOX In the October issue of The Forum, Frank Bohn states that college piofessors should leceive a salary of fiom thirty to fifty thousand dollars a year. The entne teaching profession, and pei haps a few others, will stand up and laud Mr Bohn to the skies Othcis will scoin the idea and greet it with cries of “foolish,” “crazy,” and “absuid.” But then, we aie told ot certain indi viduals who once came to scoff and lemaincd to pi also. Perhaps histoiy will repeat itself. The tiuth and sincerity of Mr. Bohn’s argument cannot be domed. lie tells us about the gcncious and well-meaning gentle men who give millions of dollais annually to found a now uni versity or develop a small college into a huge university, and then goes on to say, “How much better it w oukl bo to devote all maior gifts for a decade to the incicasc of salaiies’ The fault lies not only with the donois. Most of om university picsidents and boauls of trustees are afflicted by om Amcncan cra/.c for mere size. A few million dollais moie means moic buildings, more students, and moie teachers, not better teaching by teacheis who hre paid sufficient salaries and allowed more time for study and loisuie.” Even the love of education and study, the dcsiie to teach and be taught cannot icsist the onslaught ol an emptv poeketbook Statistics show that John D Rockefeller has dnated §575,000,000 to educational institutions Undoubtedly, the gi eater pait of this sum is to be found repicsentcd m more buildings and moie beau tiful campuses. How much better it would have been had this money been utilized accoidmg to Mr. Bohn’s suggestion. Amcu can people are fooling themselves—the sooner they learn to pay the piper, the better. UP TO 392 S That the freshmen are in for a jcai of stnct discipline has been manifest about the campus by the actions of the class of 1923 during the past week. Many proposed upi ismgs were readily squelched by the sophomores, while unsuspecting ycai lings who happened in the vicinity of Co-op became well aware of the vigi lance of last year’s freshmen. In the fervor of disciplining 1929, however, the sophomoics should not forget that they, too, have customs to which they should adhere. Last year marked the first time in manv decades that the sophomores did not stage their annual parade mound the giidiion at the opening football encounter of the season. The custom is practically as old as football itself at Penn State, and the student body looks to 1928 to stage a revival this Satur day. __ arHE Editoi-in-Chicf Assistant Editor Managing Eililor Associate Fditor Associate Editor Associate Editor W P.
