THE HANDCLASP MEANINGFUL
Freshman Week, an institution founded in 1925 to impart a
sort of pre-natal education to the newcomers, starts today. For
mer Chaplain Metzger, once chan man of the directing committee,
said of this period “Freshman Week is intended to place the en
tire College at the fieshman’s service one week before the actual
College year begins, so that he may become acquainted with the
conditions under which he is to work for four years, and not be
forced into that acquaintance through mere chance or accident.”
It is in this “welcome-plus-seivicc” attitude that Freshman Week
accomplishes its purpose.
For se\enty-one yeais agone the streets of State College have
been filled with students greeting filends; friends who were made
the year or yeais before, and friends who were to be boon com
,peers in yeais to come. This year, as in others, sees the same
friendly spirit pervading the campus, but there are many among
us who are as yet quite unacquainted. To these freshmen-to-be,
to the men who are embaiking upon an eventful four-year journey
we extend the hand of fellowship for a handclasp which betokens
our gieat esteem and willing fiiendship.
FRATERNITIES AND FRESHMEN
Although the lestrictions placed on rushing by the Inter
fraternity Council favor the fraternities in the element of time,
there are many opportunities for individual organizations to dis
regard the regulations and pledge new men before the season has
its official conception. Freshman Week will be but two days old
when lushing is permitted,,and after another penod of only two
days, pledge buttons may be used on acceptable mshees. In other
words, any fraternity which is guilty of the least infraction of
such lenient rules should be made to feel the sting of the Council’s
punishing lash—and as severe a sting as may be reasonably ap
plied.
There may be violations of the rushing laws. Any such act
should be immediately reported to the Council for investigation.
Befoie the violation, however, the would-be offenders would do
well to consider the effects—sentence not only by the College au
thorities and the Inteifrateinity Council, but also by the fresh
men themselves.
D. A. Anderson Elected
President Kent College
After more than nine yeais of sei
uce as head of the department of

five hundred Kent college was es
tablished ns a state institution in 1912
and is one of the two colleges for
teacbeis maintained by the State of

Dr. Anderson began his teaching
career m the imal schools of lowa.
Aftei several years of this woik he

of Norway and of the icsenrch woik,

System of Norway ”

Omega Epsilon fiatermties.
In answei to the queiy ns to why
he had chosen educational and psy
chological teaching as a field of life
woik, Di. Anderson said “I believe
that it offers the most effective field
of seiwco In it there is a bettci
oppoitunity for real living, in that it
is one of the newer holds of study
associated with educational woik. It
is second to none m the held of social
service.”
Raised Standards
When Di. Anderson came to Penn
State in 1917, the department of
which lie has been head was one of
the minor divisions of the School of
Libeial Aits. Through the nine
years that have elapsed he has done
much to raise the standards of and
cicatc an enviable reputation for the
work that is being done It is com
parable to those of the best of educa
tional institutions.
Di Andeison has been for seveial
yeais chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Academic Standards and
chairman of the Curriculum Com
mittee in the Graduate School. Ho
was a leader of the movement which
finnlly resulted in the adoption of the
present honor-point system for grad
ing at Penn State.
