They have silently saluted, as they passed, the student’s friend, “Prexy” President Ralph D. Hetzel. President Hetzel has not become a legend to l.iis students; he has not inspired funny stories or serious anecdotes. He has not created a cloak of tradition about his shoulders which would liken Lain ito the familiar “Mr. Chips.” He has gone further. The Prexy has mixed his deeds with cement— strong, sturdy concrete. He he.s built a network of academic buildings on- campus which will stand as physical monuments, rather than verbal Our President seeks no recognition as a mod ern “Mr. Chips.” He wouldn’t fit into this color ful academic role. The Prhxy has no flowing -command of words, no oratorical gifts, no flash of professorial splendor. He has a knack for get ting things done by doing them with little or no •display of effort. Let’s look at his 15 years of guiding Penn {State's destiny. He has developed 60. per cent of the campus plant and buildings. The buildings •ire the power plant, service building, rebuilding pld Main, Infirmary, Buckhp.ut laboratory, Dairy - building, Sheep. b,am, fylain Engineering, Pond laboratory, Recreation- Hall, hfprth and Centra,! Mineral Industries, Ifome Economics, •Atherton Hall, White Hall, Jordan Hall, Gi'ange Dormitory, Poultry, Agricultural Engineering, Forestry, Frear laboratory, Nevv Physics, Educa tion, Library, Electrical Engineering, Nittany Lion Inn, Water Tower, and the remodeling of New _ Beaver Field. • This is the. work of a man of deeds, not words. When he came to Penn State, he sensed oppor tunity for a real fight. He rolled up his sleeves, and spit on his hands. The state was not prop erly appreciative of Penn State’s place in its pro gram, but the Prexy changed that. He has turned down many positions for more pay, easier work, in order to trail-blazte. Presi dent Hetzel threw his energies into developing our agricultural and other extension work; he fostered interest in"our Mineral Industries School; 9ie has coordinated many College activities into state-wide programs. He has sold Penn State to sceptical legislators. “President Hetzel thinks about Penn State 24 ■hours a day,” was one observation made by a College official. When he takes a walk, he strolls around the campus, drops into the Col legian office, visits the /agricultural plant, goes up to Recreation Hall. He plays golf, but his score is indicative of his excus'e to get someplace to think something over in peace. Our Prexy reflects the personality of Penn State. His sincerity toward student government has allowed us to establish the most liberal and self-controlled student legislative group in any college or university. He will listen to any complaint. Because he is conscientious, painstaking in details, he uses his Council of Administration more than most presi dents. He lies no feeling of self-satisfaction when work is completed or some big project is achieved; he sees and envisions something more important, more vital to his College’s needs. He has perception. What do we see is our Prexy? We see this. We See a man who asks nothing except loyalty, gives more than he asks. We see a man who en joys himself best when he is at work, when he'is planning, hoping, striving. We see no spectacu lar sleeve-roller; we see*'man beloved by all his fellow administrators because he risks, re spects their advice, and is willing to work twice .<s hard as he requires others to work. Wo see a man who looks into the future, grasps ill. n of endeavor, molds his clay, build* his ICO-v ! .'in* onl’. in the present, hut the futur'. , Fred Clever _ Richard B. IfcNaul Sally L.

' t Scholurship Plus Cliaractei Scholarship and character are the qualities most sought in college graduates by American employers, Investors Syndicate of Minneapolis reports after a national survey 'of graduates’ job prospects. What do you know? What are you? What can you do? Whom do you know? Employers are querying job applicants, in about that order. Schools list qualities sought as follows, in order named: scholarship, character, adaptability, cam pus popularity, personality, athletic prowess, ability, alertness, extra-curricular activities and dependability. Industrialists fa,ced -with lal'ge orders that must be delivered on time, the. survey report, observe?, are stressing production rather than distribution. They are'more interested in "WHAT a job appli cant knows than WHOM he knows. Scholarship emphasis proves this, point. Scholarship,- men tioned 375 times, or 23.3 per cent of -an. aggregate of 1,610 mentions, is listed three times as often as either personality or campus popularity, about four and a half times as often as athletic prowess, and more them nine times as often as extra-curri cular activities. Character, although in the aggregate not men tioned as many times as scholarship, was placed first more times than all other qualificationscom bined. Adaptability ranked second more times than all other qualities. Dissenting slightly from the scholarship em phasis, C. G. Grifi'en, assistant dean of men, Georgia Tech, said that “personality and adapt ability seem to be playing a more important part in the selection of men than heretofore, though high scholarship still carries great weight. James P. Kerr, professor of business, North Central college, Naperville, 111-, noted trends to ward “more specific training and more winning personality." Leo P. lyibby, cjean of guidance, Ventura, Calif., Junior College, observed that “an unparalleled einphasis by employers is being placed upon the peed for adaptability, of employes, tp pew working conditions- Employers belittle the notion fh.at high academic qb.ility assures a ‘ corresponding, ability in work adjustment.”- Campus activities and all -around abilities elicited many- comments. S. S. Von Roeder, regis trar, University of .S.gp Antonio, Texas,. felt that there “seems to, be. an increasing demand for grad uates who have shown by their application, tp school work, and participation in constructive, campus activities that they are capable, energetic, and efficient in whatever they undertake.” The best graduates,/ according to J. R. McAnelly, di rector of placement, Northern State Teachers col lege, Aberdeen, S. D., get several chances for posi tions while the mediocre are picked for inferior positions when the good ones are gone.
