We earnestly desire that this spirit become a tradition at Penn State TO THE TRACKIVIEN Penn State's track team meets Pittsburgh on New Beaver Field tomorrow. The occasion means more than battle with an old rival; it means the home-coming of the greatest track team that the Blue and White has mer had Since Nate Cartmell has assumed the coach's position, Penn 'State track athletics base gone forward at a rapid pace. Last Saturday came the climax. Penn State finished sec and only to Stanford in the Intercollegiate cham pionships at Philadelphia . It is no more than justice to congratulate the men that have made Penn State's track team the most formidable in the east, and to Coach Cartmell, to the three champions, Al, Bates, Marian Ide, and Bill 'Cos, to Bartholomew, Mathias and Filkins, to Captain Stewart and his athletes, the entire student body extends its congratulations We will cheer and honor them tomorrow and forever THE JUNIOR MARSHALS When proud fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers. relatives and friends gather at the Com mencement exercises on the front campus on Tues day, June fourteenth, they will be conducted to their seats by any one of ten men chosen trom the Junior class who have been honored with appointments as Junior marshals, The ten marshals, selected by the president of Student Council as men who will be prominent in campus affairs nest year, will be the inaugurators of a new precedent At many colleges and univer sities throughout the country where the system is now in vogue, it is annually proving its merits The custom is simply a tribute by the graduating class to ten Juniors who have been recognized for some form of campus activity At the coming Commence ment ceremonies, the ten men` of the class of .1928 will blaze the way for'the 411Mb:hop/of:the brandrix custom of Junior marshals 'With each phisirrg4 , ear, the new custom will grow, becoming more, and more, enriched in tradition "SEE!

Already the alert students have discovered tendencies, significant and disturbing, among professors whom they have grown accustomed to regard as irreproachably staid, that make one revise original opinions. Most disquiet. ing among the new movements of the professors is the undercurrent of hatred (toward final examina tions) that daily becomes more perceptible. The professors are no longer enthusiastic about final examinations In fact some of them have even gone so far as to give a quiz, sometimes two quizzes, the week before the finals, and then benevolently dis pense with the final examination. Obviously this is unfair It places the other professors in a had light. It spoils the show It kills that lively interest which students have been led to expect from the climax of the term's work. Even among the under classmen it is spoken of as a dirty trick. The worst of it is that if it keeps up final ex aminations will disappear, quietly and without sus picion of a ripple. But we are afraid it won't keep up. Sooner or later finals will be restored to their former position, and then Heaven help us! For we believe that the present system of final examinations has, with its originators, become tan assumed,'as far as circumstances have permitted, an aggressive and antagonistic attitude toward all that is as poisonous and useless as are the systems of gradings now in use. For years the COLLEGIAN has argued bitterly for a new test•tment of edileation• if we must have finals, ler us have ,tricter entiance requirements And what has happened is history nothing has evci happened. rho SIM:1[1011 is indeed a sad one, calling as it does for copious tears, gnashing of teeth, and at times various and rather violent excoriation, %erg mg. it is lamentable to admit, on murder. . And who gets the, blame for it' , The professors. his is an even sadder case. but often. unfortunately, Vie facts bear it out What student among us has es caped from the clutch of those tremendous individ uals who under the pretext of instruction, stuff up the channels of vouth with their pedantic sewage and close forever the stream of youth's romantic gallantry , Some young men rebel, but the majority arc lost, irrevocably, and arc doomed to continue into life with that listless philosophy which only a petrified, professoric mind is capable of producing. And at the end of four years we are released with a good natured smile and diploma and all the bles sings that infallible final examinations can give ; we are released—from what. From a brewery of edu cation, from an institute where learning is a keg of beer, where the professor is the spigot, and where the student is the stein.

But that's just spat happened last week—the object was tama-filled roads and CY:, weapon was no other than the typewriter that aids in the placing of thoughts in this column When our nose and eyes informed us that ir regularly•surfaced roads were bathed in a covering of flesh, pungent tar, we were about to proclaim that the "tar-babies" were slightly tardy in the mat ter of repairing the roads Because more visitors, in the next ten days, will journey osei the highways that run around and through the campus than has been the case since Alumni Homecoming last fall, it seemed slightly foolish to apply the taryia at this late date Timely rains. however, served to mash away all elements of the oil that had combined to be come a nuisance and the greatness of the "blunder" I diminished Later on it was learned that last year the roads were oiled exactly three days belore Commencement. This fact changed what had been thought to be a blunder into a sire move Even at that, however, the ideal time would seem to be about the first part of May for the repairing and oiling of campus roads The Bullosopher's Chair 1 "I got a genuine thrill yesteid,iy, Smithers, when I sass a two-cent stamped envelope addressed in this m^ii nei• 'To The Editois of the Collegian and the Ulm of the Bullosopher's Chair.'
