The Master Builder
'Penn State’s passing -parade of students may
have changed their ideas about Penn State, may
• have altered their perspective about College life,
"but one impression has remained constant. 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

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

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
What Lands The Jobs? '
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.
