“DADDY*’ GROFF
“East is East and West is West and ne\ci the twain shall
meet.” Pei haps no othei single e\ent has cau c ed more doubt in
the truth of Kipling's classic aphorism among Penn State men
than the visit of “Daddy” Groff and the message which he car
ries to the Nittany Valley fiom the Orient.
Ever since Sir. Groff has earned on the woik of the College
in China, Penn State students have been pioud both of their man
and their outpost of Amcncan thought across the Pacific The
enterprise was woithy in every sense of the word and the tact
that the original spnit which sponsored it has not fallen off din
ing the years was comincingly shown last spung by the agitation
•for an increase in financial aid for. the Canton Christian College
duiing the planning of the Spaiks Memonal. The use of the
funds foi another purpose, also of impeccable worth, was agteed
upon only after the student committee came to an undei standing
that a very substantial increase m Support should be piovidcd
for the Ling Nam institution this year.
The visit of “Daddy” Groff has been paiticulaily oppcilune,
for an active student committee can now decide upon the definite
puipose to which this support will be put All of the pioposcd
plans are far-reaching. It is well, foi whatever the final decision,
there can be no possible doubt that it will meet the uri\ci\«il and
spontaneous lesponse of the student body.
The woik of the Canton Christian College is much moie than
a sign of Penn State’s good will toward China, much moie than
an offering of progressive methods m agriculture and industry,
it is a real bond between two continents, a bond that is proung
mutually valuable both m practical affans and m the mtei change
of the finest developments of two eiviii7atious
ACTION NEEDED
There are few members ot the student bodv who will deny
the tact that the ireshmen arc “getting away with it” It has
been many years since fust-year customs were held m such low
icgiu cl, many jears since the yearlings have pioudly exhibited
gross misconduct and disrespect of upperclassmen The sopho
moies aic lax, the juniors seem mdiffeient, the seniors have
washed their hands of the matter, and the freshmen —the fresh
men arc gloiymg in a new-found fieedom.
The class of 1928 has been responsible for this conduct on the
part of the first-ycai men, for its membeis have failed m the art
of pnmaiy discipline. On Wednesday night, the sophomores dis
played their fust signs of life, and then it was the amlicial icac
tion of a class meeting, not nccessai lly an innate desire to uphold
their tiaditional honor, that urgec] them on. 1
Within the next few days,*l929 will be initiated into the trials
and tabulations ot Stunt Night. When Poster Night was abol
ished four yeais ago, Stunt Night pioved a suitable substitute,
for it iurmshed the sophomores with a means wheieby the first
year men could be taught then place without the u*c of “iough
house” tactics. Many innovations each year ha\c added to the
success of Stunt Night and this year, moie than c\ei before, it
is necessary for the class of 1928 to mtioducc new ideas which
will cairy the fieshmen thiough a safe and sifne, \cl highly m
structne, initiation.
Penn State looks to the sophomoies foi the enfoi cement of
freshmen customs Thus far, they have failed. Stunt Night will
furnish an excellent opportunity for the second-yeai men to
“wash away their sms.”
BOTANICAL EXPEDITION

Piofessoi Oveibolts very efficiently
plated the pail of Daniel Boone, and
while the scouts, Profchsois llill and
Kelly, sttpei intended the collection of
many unusual plant specimens, ho
selected a camping site. To lend at
mosphere to the .situation, the students
and piofesaois decided to tent on the
camp giound.
