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. __
