Ituildinc. State Col. lere Pa TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1929 "THE CHAMPION: MR. PENN STATE" There arc two ways to celebrate a notable victory The one is by a lousing, over-enthusiastic demonstration, and the other is by accepting the final result as a foregone conclusion. It is significant that Penn State chose the less-demonstrative any after tier boxers had shown matkel superiority over het rivals and her guests during the sixth annual intercollegiate boxing tournament. A Penn Stale victory was not unexpected, but a decidedly ono-sided ti oniph was unexpected. t l P, Contrary to predictions, the Navy champions torte nothing more, nor less, than runners-up after the semi final round of the thrilling spectacle. Navy's last oppm tunity to retain the thrice-won title was practically lost Satin day afternoon when Steve Hamas, The ➢tan of the Hour, hammeied into submission Moon Chapple, heavy- weight hope of the Alidshipmen. Julia Epstein made victoly certain m the first bout that night. Captain Ante Wolf! and Steve Hauts turned the meet into a rout by add mg two mole clowns to the Penn State collection. To the championship tinnvirate, the COLLEGIAN ex tends its congratulations; to Coach Leo Houck, its hand; and to the entire team, its many thanks. The Penn State team, to a man, was a potential title-holder Two sons went down fighting in the finals, two others, in the semi finals. The defeated lost only to the champions. A more pelted showing is next to impossible. One other congratulatory wold, this to the student spectators But one or two outbursts marred the week end. The closeness of the struggle and the tensity of the battle justified this release of pent-up emotions. More over, the COLLEGIAN is proud of the officials who daected the big show in such an able manner. Visitors to the Col lege acme impressed, we believe, not only by our boxes, but by all that is Penn State, by all Penn State that is revealed on such a week-end. In conclusion, the COLLEGIAN confirms its pre-tourn, silent belief that ueek-end visitors, whether competitors in the ring as not, tome given all they sought. All but the tiophy symbolic of the championship. That ... The Champion • Mr. Penn State Evidently Harvard has all the brains Invitations amnia(' by officials of that institution to Yale, Piinceton, and Erimbridge'university, England, to participate in Hie annual inteicollegiate brain contest which Harvard won last yeas, were not accepted. Several schools in the southern part of New York hnue united in offering courses at a nominal fee to all com muters who role on the Pacific Electric railway. In oiler to impiovo Ins mind the student who commutes from- n on Ag lu ll to another immediately following in Old Mining building might v,elcome such an innovation But if such a system wale adopted the Penn State commuters might go the way of the railway passengers who advanced so rapidly in wisdom and wealth that they graduated from the commuters' class and left the train empty. EDUCATION AND EARNING POWER If one were to place faith in a statement made recently by Di. Harold F. Clink, professor of education at Columbia univelsity, then the college student would profit immeas urably by stowing all text books in the attic and grabbing the nearest rack and shovel. In a report on the economic effects of education he insists not only that persons ,who are earning high wages would be receiving them without the help of education, but that college training often de creases the actual raining power of the individual. 4.1 bleak prospect for any student, to be sure. But a ray of hope shines forth, following the deluge of disapprobation thnt Dr. Clark's statement has brought down upon him. Only a few days after the report appeal ed, one of his own univelsity colleagues, Dr. William C. Bagley, cruse to voles loud disapproval. Education is largely responsible for American prosperity, the latter asserts. The more persons can be sent to school the better off the country will be, he said, predicting that in the near future the great bulk of work will bo of a "professorial type." And now, Harvey S. Firestone and other leading industualists of the country hove lined up beside Dr. Bag ley in opposing Dr. Clark's views. Strange to say Dr. Clash has attracted no exponents to his cause; apparently he stands alone! Judging from the numerous howls of protest one must assald the verdict of the controversy to the opponents and not to Dr. Clark. The consensus of opinion would seem to provo that a person still gains ma terially Dom a college education. _President _VI -President "A college education is likely to make a man too pensive and hesitant for the task of money-making ashen doting and courage are prime necessities," Dr. Clark de elates in his report. The only justification for such an assertion lies in the supposition that Dr. Clark speaks fmm his milisidual ex perience, which could be only too meagre for a sweeping statement including all college graduates. One hesitates to believe that four years of study in college decrease any inherent initiatise at aptitude for risk-taking. No one can deny that collegiate training broadens the scope of knowledge of any student. In addition, if a nelson were naturally fitted for a cettain inofession, how could Mullet education take assay this ability? With his ',valet per spective of life would it not be logical to assume that the student faces the problem of money-making mote fear lessly than his brother who never traveled beyond the grades' , If he does not, then the college as an_instdution has not justifiable reason for being. However, one can feel certain that no cause for ninon exists, since such on army of dissenters has mobilized to wago an all-inclusis e war on Dr. Clark's disturbing report But after all has not Dr. Clark imputed too low a motive to the thousands of students now in American col leges and universities! Do all of these students attend their chosen institution solely for the pm pose of enhancing their chances of amassing a million dollars? If such were the undolying season, one critic objects, would not the student have stepped directly into the industrial or busi ness worlds following graduation from high school, or even before that time? One wonders. "Representative Tilson urges Yale to install course in practical politics"—Headline. Just ono case whale Penn State already Inas a decided advantage The 50 co-eds enrolled at the Unilersity of Detroit were forbidden to converse with any of 2,000 male students on the campus by a recent decree of President John P McNichols. If they caused but half the commotion that the female section of the student than that sits ducctly behind the speaker in Sunday chapel here, these is justifiable season for the edict. ANOTHER MAN'S GOAL At infrequent intervals during the life of any man there comes a noteworthy day The day may be notable foi any one of many reasons. The reasons range from election to high positions in high school and college rank., to such events in later life as business achievement, liege, or possibly the only son. Saturday seas one of those days in Alb° Wolf's college career. By successfully de fending his boxing title against Paul Moret, Navy finalist in the middleweight division, Saturday night, the Lion captain brought to a close one of the most brilliant college boxing careen on record. As a matter of fact, Alhe's mark of twenty-eight vic tories without a defeat is believed to be without precedent, and thole is no boxer in intercollegiate circles now who can approach his enviable record. Allie has donned the gloves for Penn State fel the last time; it is said that he has definitely abandoned the ring to turn his attention and athletic prowess to baseball alone. His ambition is one day to reach the major leagues. In Ins fight for that goal the cou.scratx ,wishes' 4int luck It compliments hint on his achievement; and, 'as ta parting word, it points to his brilliant record as the Acme of perfection, and as a mark for college boxers of the pre sent and future to shoot at 41. 4 (41 ' STARK 13119.S.EMARPER3 Haberdashers Individuality - ""7" TO OFFER ITS CUSTOMERS TIIAT WHICH DISTINGUISHES THEM FROM THE ORDINARY IS THE EFFORT OF THIS ESTAB LISHMENT NEXT TO THE MOVIES trMl PENN &TAM COLLEGIAN 1 ~ • , ("HE [0% ; 9 7- LIONS bla (ssl, 123,, • DAtitti,, 11.," ••• ) Success!
