If an indefatigable statistician wished to invade a novel field of research, he might calculate Just how many times a chain of words taken from all the speeches of welcome directed at the class of 1932 at Penn State between today and the opening day of college would circumambulate old Mount Nittany. Speeches of welcome, besides being interesting by comparison, are extremely necessary Someone besides fraternity salesmen and hometown friends must greet the newcomers officially, hand out the key to the college and campus—for a few days—and express the cordiality of Penn State. Someone must venture a bit of fatherly advice and make a predic tion or two concerning the future of the class of 1932 If we may, we'd like to be the first to salute you, fortunate freshmen. Fortunate, we say, because you are only beginning the happy adventure which some of us shall be ending too soon; lucky because you are matriculating at one of the most democratic and fas cinating colleges in the country; because you are about to learn of obedience, college spirit, friendship and fraternity as you never have learned of them before. Those of us who were born too soon onvy you who are about to make history for old Penn State during the early years of her new era of success, ac complishment and prosperity The new gymnasium, dormitories, infirmary, engineering buildings and the handsome proposed student union are all for your future use and convenience Welcome, fortunate freshmen—and good luck FOR FRESHMEN ONLY The freshmen are here And from now on, words of advice will resound in classrooms, litter the street corners and flutter faintly into eager, believing cars There will be organized advice, well spoken and elo quently delivered, there will be "official" advice and informal advice and secret advice All sorts of advice Even our fooli4hcontemnioraries, the Frog'. moguls,. have sensed grovityrbt- , idviCe v kiVing such an extent that theyhave offered the first counsel in a serious manner Even-the Collegian joins ,the ranks of sages long enough to comment on what ale perhaps the three most outstanding problems of the incoming and inexperienced freshmen, namely, fra ternities, customs and traditions and contacts When a prospective pledge is being rushed by two or more fraternities, his troubles begin. He has been ti eated so hospitably by each group that he fears to make his final decision. He is stumped, perplexed. Knowing that the best years of his early life are to be spent among the men of his choice, the freshman should select his associates Judiciously. That a fraternity possesses an array of high sounding campus offices should be of little import. Consider men, character and personality first Fraternities are not purposed to acquire a shelf of shining trophies or to intrigue men of athletic prowess, even though in many cases such a degrading tendency is apparent. There is a much higher, a more noble purpose. Con sider it carefully. Customs, hampering as they maY seem, are really beneficial as you will discover in due time. True enough, they are often petty, silly and inconvenient, but they help teach the yearling a lesson that he will grow to value, the lesson of obedience. Every man, no matter how great, how powerful, must learn obed ience to some one. Secondly, the little green dink and funereal socks and tie and contagious "Hello" will bind the class of 1932 with the common ties of companionship, hospitality and respect, a triumvirate essential to real friendship. Generally speaking, Penn State traditions are fine and admirable, really inspiring to the man with an iota of imagination There are deplorable tradi tions, too, resulting from unfair criticism and the yearly utterances of constant fools. Traditionally R. 0 T. C. and the co-eds are regarded generally dis dainfully. Yet there is no real argument for such an attitude It simply exists because the narrow views are accepted annually by the newcomers without any care of thought, without any extensive reasoning. The correction of such an impression would be a noble cause for which the present freshman class could work. Liven motes...ors ana instructors and department 'tk.r,ls are condemned by unthinking students who i know rho accused ekampli.s merely as they were de scribed, year, two years ago and years and years 'back instead of as the men they really are. Never accept an opinion of either a professor or student ' qui you have made a personal and careful investiga tion. Otten you will discover that the unpopular ifigure has more admirable qualities than have been 'credited hint. President Vice-President Tr ensurer Contacts, associations with men and activities, deserse thorough considei ation by the freshmen 'You should realize early the future value of them and gather facts about character, types, habits and the value of friendship It is even advisable to I undei take sonic extra-curricular activity, something to develop initiative, personality and perseverance, something to stimulate an additional interest in Penn 'State, something to bind you closer to this institu tion of your choice. Editor-in-Chief ______Assistant Editor _.___ Managing Editor Associate Edam Newspapers have not announced it Historians !are not recording it Students are not celebrating it Yet there is little doubt that Penn State, despite the apparent indifference of he: constituents, is un ceremoniously passing into a new era—an era of prosperity, advancement, growth, success Handi capped to sonic extent by lack of finances, this insti -1 tution has pushed itself to the fore among America' , " great colleges by her invaluable girt to national edu !cation, by her services to this state mid many others nd by her e',tensive research work Every yeni, thousands of people benefit directly and indirectly by Penn State service Farmers, el gineers and their concerns, chemists and men of every industry receive some aid, be it great or small, from Penn State "I lie recipients have been grateful. ,They have realized the value of this college, they have found an interest in her and her advancement, they have sensed the new era. If, when the $8,000.000 bond issue for equipment and general improvements at Penn State warts the approval of voters in the November election, the thousands chance to remember past favors and there fore cast their votes favorable, there will be little question of the success of the issue and Penn State will merge into the newest of new eras, into the greatest of great eras.
