WHY SCHOLARSHIP
Great colleges and unive.sitics, gicat to the outside woild.
have tallcn by the wayside because they lacked, m an othci wise
inn ioundation, a nccessaiv .stone—the scholaislnp ideal Penn
Stale. 1 i rot lost sight of this ideal, and will honor those men
who hu\e achieved success scholastically at the semi-annual
Scholuship Day exercises which will be observed m the Atuh
toiium Thuisdaj morning.
A season ot athletic and social activities such as that com
puting the autiynn months in the Nittanv Valley bi mgs a maiked
tendency to give scholarship a second place, each student piori
lsmg himselt that he will get down to work "after while.”
Weekly we bow to the slnine of physical attainment to do homage
to an athlete or team, forgetting tor the moment the othci side
of the scale. We would not discourage the support of teams end
playeis, such is an integial pait ot the college spmt Rut aftei
«'ll, gnehron days soon pass, and then is not the framing which
the nnnd has received far more important
Many men who have made the venture toll us that the trained
mind niles above all else Encouiagcment is the best of incent
ives and lealizmg this, the honor iiatcimtics and societies have
designated Scholarship Day as a tune to do honor to those who
have won distinction in piactical lines, in the aits, and m the
sciences Scholarship is vital to the student of today, the man
of tomonow But likewise is scholaislnp vital to the Penn Stale
ot toclav, the university of tomonow
With an engineering school known throughout the country,
“(•bools of arts and sciences which are l.ipidly making names foi
themselves and a school of agricultuie winch tanks with the best.
Penn State is striding towards the leahzation of hei vision. But
without the ideal of scholarship m the minds of Nittanv under
giaduales, the chief stone is lacking ftom the foundation for a
gicat university Let Penn State men and women acknowledge
true values on Thursday
LIFE AND AMBITIONS
Theie was once an architect, a builder of magnificent struc
tuies. whose one ambition m ltle was to meet an edifice that would
live thousands of yeais aftei lie had passed away and stand as an
otei nul monument to his great genius He lived m a land of
dreams, diearning day after day ol the time when his ambition
would be leali/ed. But he dreamed too diligently and befoie hi.
gioat building was begun, the architect was calicd to another
woilX
Anothei aielulccl, possessing not half of the genius of the
formei one, lived Cor today. Every one of his buildings was caie
fully planned so that each would stand as a fitting memoual to
one vvhose ambitions vveie entombed in each accomplishment
He did not plan foi one great building, but cho ,e to make evciv
one of his structuies embody an ideal Today beautiful build
ings in every country of the world stand as a monument to this
aichitect. while the dreamer—nobody icmembers
Ambitions are to be encomaged but one should not center his
entie life about a single hope—life is 100 short toi that Men
and women have planned to become noted lawyers, doctor-, finan
cial s, educatois, social workeis and whatnot, but after many at
tempts which met with reverses, thev have been bioad-minded
enough to change then views and embark upon fields which
P*omised more letuins Men who live then whole lives about
one single ideal arc in effect mental cowards, foi they aie admit
ting an unfoigivable weakness.
Colleges and univeisities find many men of this typo. A high
school student believes he is destined to become a great engineci,
end makes application to the engineering school of a college
Adm ttance follows, and he embaiks upon the gieat advonline
Ptofes-ois and mstructois mfoim him aftei the hist tow months
that lie lacks the necessaiy technical qualities ot an engineer, but!
he refuses to listen By dogged studying, he manages to get l
through and receive a diploma Ultimate lcsult. The woild ie-'
ceivcs another half-iate engmeei, and is picbably cheated of a
great financial wizard or physician. :
Vocational guidance has helped to a certain extent, but the
final choice does and always will rest with the mail himself If
student changes courses at the end ot the first oi second year
if js not a sign of mental weakness. On the contrary, it is un
doub'edly a sign of superior intellectuality. Don’t stand as a
pit tul example of one who wants a single thing, thinks ho can
get it. can’t get it, and succeeds admirably in failing to get it
HATS OFF TO SYRACUSE
The Orange attained a double victory on Satui day. It emerged
on the long end ot the scores m football and hospitality The
Lions, fighting with their backs to the wall against a team that
has not had its goal line crossed this season, bowed to the su
penoi playing of the Syiacusans It was a scintillating triumph
on the guduon, but a much greater victoiy was scoied in the
game of “feel at home”.
Never hcfoic m the history of the Nittanv institution hao
speh a coidtal welcome boon extended to Penn State men on ior
cign soil. “Welcome” signs from every building on the campus
greeted the Blue and White followers, and the Hill entertained
loyally over the entire week-end Such evidences of genuine
hospitality cannot help but increase the gieat spirit of friendli
ne-s that already exists between those two institutions. Through
Ihe COLLEGIAN, Penn State thanks Syracuse. May the rela
tions between the two rivals ever be thus.
