DEAN STODDART
' SHOWS PURPOSE
OF L. A. COURSE
Says Liberal Arts Work Trains

Life's Finer Things
SPEAKS BEFORE SCHOOL -
OF EDUCATION PARLEY
Simms Value of Cultivating
Avocation in Addition to•
Daily Occupation
A Liberal As is edu ation can be
combined to give not only, a timing
in occupation based on Leberal Arts
subjects alone but also a teaming in
an appreciation of the fine things of
lift as well, mess the atatad belief of
Dean Charles W Stoddm t, of - the
School of Likeial Arts, in an address
to members of the faculty of the
Seinxil of Education iecently
Dean Stoddart explained that the
question at the root of the discussion
on Liberal , Aits work had been clear
ly stated by one autholity when he
asked, "Is liberal education a iefuge
hem the world or is it a means of
enabling one to cope on bettei terms
with the practical life" The Dean
expressel the opinion that it can be
both
L. A. Course Aids Many
"A Liberal Arts course," he con-
Lindell, "helps students to prepare
themselves for law, a 'writing career,
public sere ice, religious occupations,
for .business, for an it tithe career
and for scholaiship as, evidenced by
college teaching and research.
"The fundamental training which
all Liberal Arts students should have
is, in the first place, a fund of gen
eral information in history, physical
science, philosophy, biology, govern
ment, mathematics, foreign language,
economics, literature and art Second
ly, he should be provided-with a suffi
cient knowledge of the English lan
guage to speak and write it correct
ly. Thirdly, a course indicative of
a hobby of an interest quite distinct
from one's daily occupation should
be taught. In the fourth place," con
tinued Dean Stoddart, "lie should be
provided with a training in cleat
thinking Lastly, a knowledge of the
dam ence betucen right and 'wrong,
honesty in all dealings with other
people, should be taught"
The Liberal Arts head, continuing,
declared that nt Penn State the course
m his department has the usual three
functions,—extension, - research and
teaching. By means of the extension
course offered to teachers, help no
groin to people in the state in drama,
music, journalism and economics In
research, members of the faculty are
engaged in productive wink in liteia
tut°, history, economics and mathe
matics- In regard to teaching, he be
lieve% that students are not only given
training in their profession but in
some mensal° subjects other than
technical ones are taught which will
bo of help outside their professions
"What we aio trying to do," Dean
Stoddart concluded, "is to enable stu
dents to get something out of life be
sides then occupation for themselves,
and to give something out of life be
sides their occupation for others "

Fencing Coach Offers
Prize to Best Duelist
Competition will begin next week
among the members of the fencing
team to determine the winner of a
pair of foilS to be presented by Coach
Paul 11. Schweitzer to the most skill
ful duelist on the squad.
The team of twenty-five men, seven
of whom constitute the varsity team
practices twice .a,week in the Armory
and holds informal workouts at var
ious times. Since the introduction of
fencing to Penn State, its sponsors
have been attempting to secure its
official recognition as a minor sport.
A petition to this end is now in the
hands of the athletic board and will
probably be placed before the student
body soon. Attempts are also being
made to obtain permission for the
scheduling of interclass fencing
meets.

Some Uncertainty Present
These elements ale indeed reassur
nn, in their comprehensiveness, but
there are some offsetting elements of
an uncertain character, at Rest. The
following may be noted: (1) the ad
visability of the continuation of the
"Cheap money" policy adopted in 1927
by the Federal Reserve System and
by the Treasury of the United States.
Authm dies differ on this question;
the Harvard School is for its continu
ation and Professor B 3,1 Anderson,
Economist of the Chase National
Bank of New lock city is opposed
The policy was inaugurated for the
purpose of aiding in the rehabilita
tion of European financial structures
and the facilitation of foreign trade.
The incidental developments here

likely prove a crucial test for our re

may effect the state of business in the
new year are: (a) the prospect and
eventual transfer of the German re
putations in September, (b) the ap

elan Determines Prosperity
Of course, the future is always
clouded in umartairity, yet it is grat
ifying to malice that, with our under
standing of the process of human
events, -man more than ever is pre
determining his own state of pros
perity. Human well-being today as
far more a matter of forethought than
it is a matter of chance. This Is true
of the nation and of the intiumdual.
America, in 1928, shall begin to see
the fruits of a new theory of pros
perity promulgated in 1927. The 'issue
of the great aar left our country in

Journalistic Classes Rank
Thirteenth in Enrollment
Among Nation's Colleges
Journalism classes at Penn State
now rank thirteenth in enrollment in
a list of more than two hundred co.
loges and universities in the United
States offering a similar coulee, ac
cording to a statement issued recently
lay Professor William P. Gibbons,
director of the course. Their arc now
over two hundred enrollments each
year. This number, ho states, repre
sents three times the number of stu
dents enrolled In Journalism in any
other college or university in the
state.
The rapid growth of newspaper
courses on the campus Professor Gib
bons attributes to the increasing pop
ularity of journalism as a profession
for college men and women through
out the country. More than ten thou
sand college men, he adds, are now
gat. have nothing in common: Out
foreign business weakened and out
profits declined, in spite of our pile
of gold In 1927 our nation seemed to
reverse its policy to the extent that
there is a tacit acknowledgment of
the necessity for the rehabilitation of
Batoro financially to maintain or in
crease Ammican prosperity. The
policy of easy money followed Tins
degree of international cooperation is
encouraging to say the least The
theory is that prosperous buyers are
the first essential to the prosperity
of the sellers
Competition the Konote
It is probably true also that mithin
the domestic market our theory of
prosperity for 1928 is that a very
high degree of competition is the
soundest economic policy for busi
ness. At any rate, conditions are so
set up for the new year that since..
will depend far snore on the degree
cf the efficiency of the brain and mus
cle Rosser actually expended than upon
any other factors, least of all upon
chance That being so, 1928 will be
a good yeur for college men entering
business. The presence of keen com
petition in business forces business
executives to turn to our colleges for
thcroughly trained men of high Main
content The appeal is beginning to
be made already, faculties ate watch
ing ,men uncles their charge to sift
but those who mill qualify. Fore
thought lather than chance is the
acknowledged basis of prosperity for
men as men as nations in 1928.
