“A good name is earned by fan-play, sqiuuc dealing and gooc
spoitsmanslup m the classroom. on the athletic field and in al
other college iclations. We earnestly desire that this spit it maj
become a tiadition at Penn State’*—The Penn Stale Honor Code
GOOD BYE, CULTURE
When one talks of cultuie, one usually thinks of ait, litera
ture, social etiquette and other cultural achievements too nu
merous to mention Howevci, it is evident that this is not the
inteiprctation oi the woid m the wide, open spates of AmcncaV
gioat West The gieat West, whcic men arc men and so art
iicshmen.
It was with a feeling akin to pity that we lead the cditonal
entitled “Cultuie” m the Daily Ncbiaskan, one of our woi thy con
temporaries The editoiial was one ol the cle\crest bits of sar
casm we ha%e read in some time; we wondei whether H L
Mecken is employed by the boaid ot the Nebraskan. The piece
was too good to keep to ourselves, *-o we aie reprinting it m this
is*ue of the COLLEGIAN.
Wc must tise up m aims and u\ out foi help Just to think
that when a freshman weais a sign for violating one ot the col
lege customs, he loses two ounces ot culture. When he has hi?
hair shorn for talking to a gill, he loses a pound, and so on If
we continue with oui college customs, we will ha\e less culture
than Bioadway has clean musical comedies
Many, many years ago, good okl Noah Wcbstei defined cul
ture as follows; “The tiaming, impiovcmcnt and refinement oi
mind and morals.” And we should be willing to stack Penn State’s
mind and morals against those of Nebraska any day. When a
1 reihman emci ges into the sophomore class here, he at least knows
something of college tradition At Nebraska, he piobably wears
and '•mokes Lord Luckyficlds. Cut. of com.se. that’s
the West’s definition of culture.
WHAT’S THE IDEA?
There recently came into this office a pamphlet on “Military
Tiummg m the Schools and Colleges ot United States” which is
being circulated thioughont the countiy. In glancing thiough il
we ran acio.ss the following, printed bc'ow woicl for word:
“Although there is thus no compulsion to maintain compul
sory courses, many school and colleges make their couises com
pulsory, and it sometimes goes hard with the young man who ic
tuses the yoke. Robert Dieflenbacher at Pennsylvania State Col
lege, desiring to be lehcved ot his umfoim and to discontinue mil
ltaiy tiammg, petitioned the unrversity officials to that effect.
They* refused to allow him to be excused; indeed, did not the col
lege catalogue deelaie that ‘every male student oi the Freshman,
Sophomore and special classes is lequned to cm oil for military
instiuction unless he is physically disqualified ’ Mr. Dieffenbach
er was male and physically qualified, but he happened to have a
conscience which objected to mihtaiy pursuits, so he decided he
would have to leave the college of his choice and pursue his edu
cation clseuheic. At last reports he was duly enrolled at Lafay
ette College, whcie mihtaiy training is offered but not required
“But the story docs not end there. At the time when young
Dicftenbachci got into tiouble, Frank I Olmstead, the secietary
of the student blanch of the Y M C. A., at Penn State, invited
speakers to addiess the Y M. C "A. Forum on both sides of the
question of compulsory tiammg. He lelates what happened in a
letter:
“ *Oiu Y M. C. A had both sides of the case presented in our
Foi um, and offered to punt letters on both sides m the Penn State
YM.C. A. Alumni News- Lettci Shortly thereafter, I was call
ed into the office of the college President, and icqucsted not to
mention the Dieffenbacher case again m speech or print I ap
pealed to the Board of Directors, who sustained the President m
his request I le.signcd as a protest against this infringement of
free speech and nrcss, and to sustain the principle of the right
ot the Young Men’s Christian Association and to seek Christian
truth.”
This excerpt has been taken up throughout the nation. Penn
State’s action and the subsequent icmiHs are known This should
imnish food for thought

The following contribution to cul

of Thi Duily Ciihjoi uutr.

Oh Chapel Bull, Oh Chapel Bell,

When haste iexulted from your chimes

And while you ring, I hit tho hay,
While other guvs vour tones compel
To run and curse the Chapel Bell.
And fo 'twill be when I anr gone;

And students still will swear like hell
