It matters not that Rachel Taylor was not under the Jurisdic tion of the College when the crime was committed; it is not now a question of: did a student do it? Why couldn't she have taken a taxi or have her friends meet her at the Lus station? Tlfese are questions for an irretrievable dead past But the fact remains that Rachel Taylor was a Penn State co-ed Thousands of screaming headlines have informed the country of that fact. , IT MUST BE EVIDENT to all students that in the face of these conditions, there are duties to perform—duties vital and mandato' y to the best interests of the College. Penn State to the people of this and other Commonwealths must be more than just matters of research, leas lung and football victories over Pitt. There aie those intangible entities which must be included, entities without which the College would he a home without a floor: character and reputation. We as students are convinced that in dividually and as a group we possess those capacities which will enable us to enter the struggle of life adequately prepared. But as a group we are not quite so proud of our reputations. "Oh, did you say you were from PENN STATE?" are mysterious little words we have all so complacently listened to This is no essay on morality. But the overwhelming task which confronts the students of Penn State is one which the murder of Rachel Taylor makes manifest. ly clear. The outside world must be con vinced that there is such a thing as a Penn State morality. It must he convinced that it is and always will be a safe educational refuge for its sons and daughters. The task will take years. The blight of such an abnormal thing as murder is not too easily erased. The world has a way of overlooking the banal normalities of in tellectual achievements for events which appeal more directly to the innate love - for the abnormal and sensational. The next few years will tell. Can the students of Penn State meet the challenge? Words at this time are of no avail to Mr. and Mrs. Percy Taylor of Wildwood, New Jersey. The Collegian joins in their be reavement and expresses the hope that the salve of Time will heal quickly. There must always be more promising horizons than those created by the decaying Past. 'ln the meantime, Penn State will at tempt to prove that the death of Rachel Taylor was not Wholly in vain.—E .R.
