"STATE, TO THEE”
Willi this issue of the COLLEGIAN comes the announcement
of a prize song contest. The poem "State, To Thee,” written by
Piofessor Mason Long of the English department, offers an ex
cellent lyiic lor a new and distinctive Penn Statts melody. It is
foi this icason that the COLLEGIAN has offered a small prize
i’ot the musical score, wi ltlen by a student or a member of the
faculty, which is best suited to the product of Professor Lonqr’s
pen.
Because of the short space of time remaining until the close
of the semester, it was thought advisable to extend the contest un
til the last day in July in order that contestants may be able to
lend their best efforts toward the composition. The small prize
is added, not as a monetaiy consideration but rather as a recog
nition of seivice.
The contest is opened not as an experiment, not as a "go-get
ter" gamble in the circulation of The Old Main Bell, but raLher be
cause “State, To Thee" expresses a sentiment, a paidonable piide
which Penn State men feel for their Alma Mater. In view of the
need for a song of this type, a melody which may be hummed in
easy haimony by a group before the open fireplace, we offer this
competition.
TOPICS OF THE DAY
Representatives of the business and editorial staffs of nine
teen of the prominent college newspapers of the East convened
last Friday and Saturday at Dartmouth college for the purpose of
discussing policies for the coming year. Individual problems were
taken into consideration; many items were left in the hands of the
executive boards of the papers with which these ideas were the
weightiest, but a growing tendency was exhibited toward co-op
eration among collegiate journals along certain well-defined lines.
One of the most important problems, one on which numerous
editorials have been written and upon which many more will cen
ter, was that of overemphasis of collegiate football. Complica
tions arising from this so-called overemphasis have evinced them
selves at various institutions, notably Harvard and Dartmouth,
and the mattei of "putting football m its rightful place” was hash
cd over thoughtfully by the delegates of the press.
The sentiment of the gathering was that football had not as
sumed a position of too great importance in the student sense ot
values. The consensus of the men present was that people outside
Iho college and not the students themselves were those guilty of
the overemphasizing TheE I. N. A. went to the‘extent, however,
of opposing intersectional contests per se, that the intersectional
game was one of the main causes of this disproportionate sense of
values and that the creating of sectional champions was not in ac
coi dance with the spirit of true collegiate competition
The association also adopted a resolution supporting the Na
tional Student Federation, an organization recently formed for the
purpose of centralizing student activities and fostering a spirit of
fellowship and co-operation among students throughout the nation
The convention announced that it looked with disfavor upon
any sort of strict censorship or supervision of college newspapers,
adding, however, that both sides of any question must be present
ed thoroughly in the editorial columns before an opinion emanat
ing,from the newspaper itself be justified.
. A resolute stand was taken against all'matters* compulsory,
the chapel situation being ‘subject of condemnation.An
item of discussion was-that of the abolition 'of uWiSQe?sary;_'class
officers, but because of the different systems of government m
force at individual institutions, the matter was dropped.
Throughout the two days of conference, the representatives
exhibited the progressive tactics characteristic of the collegiate
publications of the present day, and this stand was commended by
Piesidenl Hopkins of Dartmouth when he spoke to the men Friday
night The Dartmouth executive stated that college newspapeis
were the forces which helped greatly to mold the character of the
institutions, and that "the radicalism of the college press is the
best obtainable check upon the natural conservatism of college ad
ministrators."
