THE BELL ROPE
A year or two ago there was printed m these
columns a communication the slatting words of
which wei p: “The chapel bell tolled ominously ”
And probdbiy the coi t ect adverb was used. Any
thing which speaks of the hanging swoid is omi
nous, and especially, such a hanging sword as
chapel attendance
But, be that as it may, this is a new sort of
sound we will talk about It is a new sort of bell,
and its reception b> the students must not be om
inous to the eai; it must be pleasing to every
sense. It is “The Old Mam Bell.” And its sound,
although goierned by the quality of the metal, has
anothei governor. And that authority is the
man who tolls the bell—the man who twists the
3*opc about his forearms and rings the big bell
above his head.
The bell will never ling without a bellman.
Without a force to stait the huge inverted bowl
swinging to and away from the clapper, there can
be no sound. Without the contributions of the
student body. “The Old Main Bell,” Penn State’s
pi l/e htci.iry magazine, will clink—not toll—om-,
mously, Penn State will be foiced to lelinquish
the honors gained for this College by the staff
of last yeai’s publication.
Vou who have writing .ability, you who guard
huge stoi es of pregnant experiences, you who soar
in flights of imagination—grasp the bell-rope and
pull—pull l'oi “The Old Mam Bell.”
“GET TO PENN”
On Thursday begins the exodus that has been
a mental picture foi every loyal Penn State man
since the Blue and White gave Penn a scoreless
tiimnnng on FianUm Field two years ago—or,
to go back farther into the distant past—to the
time when Hairy Wilson coveied himself with
glory and Penn with whitewash.
Dow’n unto the haunts of the touted Quakers
goes the'horde of silent Lions, intent on talcing
the “lighting Friends” by surpiise and adminis
tering to them an unexpected chubbing. Into
the stands sunoundmg the huge “Sugar Bowl”
will be packed fifteen thousand voices shouting for
the men from the fool of Mount Nittany.
Pennsylvania, loser to Illinois by a last-quar
tei field goal, has swept all other opposition be
fore it, the rising Red and Blue whirhvmd, swerv
ed just a trifle from its couisc by the towels of
the Hhm, will try to get back into its path of ab
solute terror, to destroy everything it inecU
Penn State, sluggish against the fast-tackling,
swift-running opposition for the last tlnee games,
looks to fighting courage to be the victor over its
age-old livnl. Do you know' that news from Phil
adelphia says “When the Penn-Penn-State series
w'a.. In -iC inaugurated Penn State w’as a mid-week
ultra,, lion lui rennsj Ivama. The Red and Blue,
aftm ga/irnj on the results of Penn Stated games
thus far thiA season, is looking forward to the
same Kind oi entertainment ”
Can Penn State stand for that? No. -Will
that rugged, fighting, loyal eleven of ours stand
foi tliat v Not on your life! That Penn game will
be the fight of our lives! “Get to Penn!” s
YOU’RE INVITED
Monday evening will see the first meeting of
Penn Stale’s Open Forum. This endeavor, the
name of which bespeaks its function, is something
new and vitally interesting to those on this cam
pus, who once m a great w'hile, concern themselves
with thinking.
The topics w’hich are to come up for discus
sion in these meetings are not such things as:
“Whv the Rah-rah Boys do not w'ear garters” or
“Why lined tuxedos never fit.” Far from that.
The questions will be of far greater importance
than these trivial gestures of the mentally ath
letic students (sic!) on this campus. The Penn
State Club has an idea at hand, the virtues of
which outnumber the vices so overwhelmingly
that the proposed Forum should meet jvith the
instant approval, the voluntary attendance and
the unbiased thought of all of us.
What the question is for the fiist meeting to
decide is yet m the aii. lion ever, the speakeis
on the platfoim mil be well veised on the subject,
and will review it in an unprejudiced manner.
Then, we understand, the issue, in the foim of a
resolution, is to be placed before the audience for
a decision.
Whether the decision given m any instance
will result m a change of policy in regard to the
issues under discussion, is yet to be dctei mined
It is piobablc that nothing will be settled, then
again, something big may arise from any session
of the Forum. At any rate, the Foium is the
result of much thought, it will be a sort of clear
ing-house lor student opinion—and it is a pro
gressi\e step in the education of the student body.

“This is indeed a dcploiable condition of mind, —the
disease is pmely mental, you understand, —and by the
fouith year it has become so established that there is
little hope of lecovery foi the ne\t ten oi fifteen years
In about that length of time the disease usually will have
reached its crisis, ard the mental state of the patient
is at its worst The hallucinations of disaster which
weic manifested m the earlier stages ha\e become greatly’
intensified fiom vear to yem, and the slight cxhalntiors of

“Manv prisons, not acquainted with this malady,
would be inclined to take its manifestations seriously, but
the patient’s demonstrations me usually fraught with little
danger to anyone
“At this period also the afflicted peison manifests a
decided tendency toward loss of mental balance, sometimes
approaching near to mama and frenzy, but the victim is
never sufficiently v.olent, (more’s the pity!) to uanant

“Never mind, Smithers, you musn’t see and know too

me, ut the height of the paioxysms the sufferer is likely
to talk much about the destiny of the “Deal Old College”
(tremolo, ngam,) and ninke frequent and blatant refer
ences to hell and the devil, but these are onlv syniptons,
Smitheis, and they should cause no anxiety. The attacks,
wmch occui penodically, as I have said, aic always dis
tressing, though not necessarily alarming, und they have
a tendency to diminish in violence from about the eigh
teenth to the twentieth veai. Stiange as it may seem, the
di.tase quite ftcquently disappears entirely in most col

his own son to college. The connection between the dis

on rcLtnd of complete cure, apparently from this cause.
In the case of a fu». \ ho were most violently afflicted there

stubborn cases are piotly eeitam to yield about the end
of the fourth yeai of the son’s attendance, and diploma day
usually marks the end of the hysteria and the disappear

Then, too, when the fienzy of na
tional prosperity will have spent it
self, the financial pressure will insist
upon a less costly athletic regime;
for some one pays for the present
large intei collegiate spectacle The
physical tiaining will become more
and more an integral part of the col
lage curriculum and not a> machine
by itself. The professional idea,
eventually, will be tossed -over the col
legiate wall; and physical training
courses wall take their place side bv
side with the other subjects headed
by a teacher, not a coach.
3 The third major change which
is, unfortunately, anticipated is the
change of stress from the study of
man himself to that of Ins environ
ment. With the insistence upon con
veniences, upon transportation facil
ities, and upon organizations the col
leges will stress methods and, process
es, laws and piacticos, organization
and statistics, buildings and equip
ment. What the higher institutions
of learning arc likely to forget is that
a'knowledge of facts Is in itself of
little importance except in so fai as
they may be used m making life saf
ci, swectei, better and holier.
4. The cultuinl oi-book-learning
phase of education'has been overem
phasized Good‘as-that-is, it is not
so foi everybody. Too many stud
ents have been forced into too few
gicoves, with a corresponding low
ering of entrance requirements and
giaduation standards A greater ef
fort will be made to determine the
student’s aptitudes, and then to. dir
ect him accordingly. This will re
sult in .a greater differentiation of
couises, in a more definite statement
of college objectives throughout the
countiy, and m a reorganization of
industial framing to meet the vary
ing human capacities and capabilities
In doing this the industrial schools
will too easily foigot that the study
of rocks, the wondeis of electncity,
the laws of stress and strain in archi
tecture ai\d engineering-are quite as
instrumental, if pioperly taught, .in
guiding the mind of youth into rever
ence for humnn kind and for God as
