A QUESTION OF REPUTATION
WHILE THE MURDERER OF RACH
EL TAYLOR remains a mystei y, the name
Penn State has assumed a new meaning
for horrified millions
Through no - fault Of its own, the College
during the past seven days has received
more derogatory publicity that dming any
period in its history. 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.
