THE COLLEGIAN
Letters To Editor
Dear Editor
Last Sunday evening at Blairs
ville, a woman with baby in arms
boarded the Pittsburgh to State
College bus on which nearly
every seat was occupied by a
Penn State student, most of them
men. Although they had. chival
rously made room for a coed or
two earlier, they let this woman
stand.
True, she was older than they,
and married, and minus a front
tooth. But she was obviously a
woman of chai’acter and sweet
ness, and despecately in need of
a seat.
Few of the students were cal
lous, thoughtless 18 - year - old
freshmen. Most were the more
mature, husky, well-dressed, en
gineering type of ex-service man.
It was still early evening and
conversation was normally lively
with engineering and social talk,
before she boarded. But the bus
suddenly went quiet and the men
pretended to be asleep, peeking
up at her only when she was look
ing the other way. After ten
minutes, an older person in the
rear of the bus finally came to
her rescue, but only after the
students around her had fully in
dicated their intentions to stay
seated.
I could not help recalling a
conversation with a Chicago of
ficial of the meat packing indus
try, who said that many indus
trialists of his acquaintance had
told him they get their top qual
ity "engineers from> Penn State. No
wonder! They get plenty of rest,
and permit no interference with
single-minded pursuit of their
professional competence. The
deans and faculties should be
mighty proud of their young
worldbeaters.
Dear Miss Bell:
Thank you so very much for
so promptly publishing my letter
concerning the “March of Dimes.”
It was especially good of you to
give front page space.
I was sorry to hear that the
campus campaign was not more
successful and only hope that the
local need is mot' greater than the
available funds. All of '‘us polios”
send our appreciation for your
help.

Marriage Course Astounds
Visiting French Bachelor
Monsieur Andre Mandel, a 'Parisian on his first visit to State Col
lege. has a recent copy of an American magazine tucked away in his
“bagages.” He’s taking it back to Paris as proof that American boys
and girls have to be taught how to get married.
On the Liberty ship which brought M. Mandel to America, the
Frenchman told a fellow-passenger that he intended to visit his friend
Dr. Paul H. Schweitzer, profes
sor of engineering rerearch at the
College. The other traveler, an
American woman, replied, “You
shouldn’t go to State College to
see an engineering professor—you
should see Dr. Adams, the man
who teaches about love and mar
riage.”
BACHELOR MAKES OUT
The amazed Parisian then took
a look at the magazine which
contained an article by Dr. A
•dams and a test for marriage suc
cess in which a score of nine was
considered good, six fair, and be
low five hopeless, “And I,” de
clared M. Mandel, a confirmed
bachelor, “got ten out of ten!”
The French engineer is taking
his copy of the magazine back to
Pai-is with him, because he says
his countrymen would never be
lieve! him if he told them Ameri
cans needed a course in that sub
ject
M. Mandel, formerly vico-pre
sident of the Society of Automo
tive Engineers in France, is visit
ing the United States as a repre
sentative of the French govern
ment to study American meth
ods of production in his field. He
is hoping to return with ideas for
helping France get back on her
feet in the postwar years.
Dr. Schweitzer and M. Mandel
met in Paris ten years ago, at
which time the Parisian promised
his American friend he would vis
it him on his first trip to this
country. From their correspond
ence, M. Mandel had gotten the
impression that the College was
purely a technical and engineering
school. Therefore he was doubl*
surprised to hear about Dr. A
dams, and also to hear the reports
of Philadelphia friends about the
College’s School of Agriculture,
and about the. nearby fish hatch-

eries, which interest him greatly.
The visiting Frenchman, who is
.enthusiastic about America, is
anxious to see some of State Col
lege’s social life.
