Member of Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association Notts Editor this issue FRIDAY, .JANUARY 22, 1926 TO BE OR NOT TO BE It is tvith no small amount ot enthusiasm that the COL LEGIAN is privileged to mfoim the Penn State student body ttilh today's issue ot the Commencement Piogiam for 1926, as pioposed bv the Committee on Commencement Piograra and ac cepted by the College Senate The program is not the lesult ol an instant’s hesitation; it lepiesents the leseaich and dehbera lion oi months. The piogram for 1926 should icconcile two groups, one that desires June to be a time foi social festivities exclusively, the other that believes Commencement should be a strictly academic uffan. To predict success foi this year’s piogiam would be lolly, only the entire student body, seniois, juniors, sophomores and liC'-hnion alike, can make such a prediction, for it lests entiiely with them A two-day fiatermty paitv is scheduled for Friday and Sat uulay. It the undeiclassmen wish to do their Share in tearing down what promises to be a real tradition,' they can lemain at Penn State after they arc supposed to have left tor their homes There is haully a way in which a check-up could be made. But it they will give tnc* College their heartiest co-operation m the tw’o oi tluec days that they aie here, and turn the campus over to the upperclassmen and their parents, the ughtful owneis at that time of year*, they will be doing what is expected of them It lemains then foi each fiateimty to cxeit eveiy effort to ace that their houses aie given over entirely to paients, alumni, seniors, juniors and guests after the academic piogiam gets under way. The Administration has done its shaie m coming half way with the student body m general, and the fraternity gioup in particular It remains for this latter faction to come the other hall ol the way m bridging a gap that has existed for two ycais The answer to “Is the 1926 Commencement to be oi not to be a success?” iests with the undergraduates IT IS REPORTED A Penn State somoi is enrolled in file Libelal Arts school. Jake his classmates, he must submit book lepoits every so often One night, sitting at his dt»*k with book befoie him and pencil in hand, he remarks, “Thrs is a great book. I wish I could lead it. but I must make a lepoit on it toi Pipfessoi X.” lie is only one of many It is the policy ot almost eveiy faculty member in the School of Lrboial Aits to require book lepoits on collateral reading. Unless he wishes to go on taking the course indefinitely, yeai after jeai. the under graduate must comply and he turns in ex cellent repotts—almost always without leading the books He lots down topic sentences, which he types neatly and presents in a mamlla toldci. to his seemingly unsuspecting instructor as a caiefully thought-out digest The work is done, to the outward satisfaction ot both paitics—to the piofit of ncithci To abolish outside work for Liberal Aits students would be a death blow to tlic effectiveness of the cuinculum. Yet the book lepoit system as it stands can find its only raison d'ctie m the iact th.it it piovides a means ot keeping tire library collection dusted. It is v orse than a waste ot time —earnest students have learned to regai d simply waste of time as inevitable—it is actu ally haimful For a possibly leceptrve void m the students fund ot knowledge, it substitutes a disorderly collection of mechanic ally transplanted half-truths and quarter-facts of minus signifi cance. The void is filled with a hasty, blurred hodge-podge; it finds the mos distasteful and is no longci receptive. It is mu opinion that if a student reads and really assimil ates one book, the feeling ot self-satisfaction and a natural cur iosity will uige him to consume completely the next and the next It may be a ladical and unwarranted assumption, but we believe 1 hat the geneinhty of students, particularly at Penn State come to college not to spend their substance m riotous living but to learn To the lew that do not come to learn, the college owes only a pass-out slip and a couitcous but firm adieu. However, the suggestion that the undergraduate be placed on his honor in regard to outside work will be i eceived by the inthctois ot book reports with cynical grins. It the Liberal Aits laculty desnes to do a real service for the undergraduates of the School, let them assign each r ending, with no report, but possibly with a ten-minute quiz made out especially for each book The students v. ould then have a strong incentive to read and understand the book assigned. They would even be en couraged to further reading. Moreover, the change would be an upward pull, slight but significant, in lifting the College out of its present role as a fpreo pump station.
