MISS AGNES E. FUTTERER
Our readers will be interested in an account of the
career of our new Dean who
assumed his duties on July 1,
and who extends a word of
greeting to the students in another column. Mr. Harlan
lloyt Homer was born on a
farm in southern Iowa on May
4, 1S7H. II is early education
was received in I he public
schools of Iowa, lie was later
graduated from an Illinois high
school and from the University
of Illinois with the degree of A,

of Illinois for two years after
graduation, and then became
secretary to the I'resident of

Instructor of English
Those AVIIO have been here in
former years need no introduction to Miss Futterer. We are
always polite to newcomers,
however, therefore, the following:
After graduating from the.
Albany High School in 1912,
Miss Futterer spent four very
successful years with us —
years in which she did as much
for the college as the college
did Hot' her. She was always
especially prominent wherever
her skill in writing, singing' or
acting was needed. She was
class reporter her second year,
president of Promethean her
third year and editor of the
Echo her fourth. She took part
in'the operetta and Te Echo
play each year. Many of us
can remember her wonderful
work in " T h e Servant in the
Mouse " and in "Macbeth".
She comes here now, particularly well equipped for her
work having studied both
winter and summer at 'Columbia and at the American
Academy of Dramatic Art. We
hope that she is as glad to come
bade as we are to have her.

TO THE STUDENTS:
I have been asked by the editor of the " News" to say a
word of greeting in these columns to the students of the
College. All summer long I
have been conscious that my
mere paper acquaintance with
you is very inadequate. The.
records of upper classmen and
the credentials of new students
have been much in my mind in
recent weeks. The immediate
prospect of making the personal acquaintance of every
student is doublv gratifying to
me at this time. People are
more interesting than records
and personal interviews more
satisfactory than correspondence. I have found pleasure
and interest during the summer
in the paper approach to the
work before me, but I am glad
the college year is opening and
you are coming. Empty college halls, I must confess, do
not much inspire me.
I am quite serious in the desire to know personally and to
be of some possible service to
every student in the College.
I shall be much in need of your
help in realizing that ambition.
I shall plan to be in my office
every week-day morning except Saturday from 10 to T2
o'clock, and shall be happy to
see students at other hours by
anointment, We enter upon a
year which is inevitably to lie
of great moment in the history
of our country ami of the
world, We can all do our
" bit ", in part at least, by making the year's college work
thoroughly productive,
With kindly greetings and
very best wishes to all, I am
Cordially and sincerely
yours,
Harlan Hoyt Horner.

A WORD OF WELCOME
There are no moments of our life which bring more happiness
than those spent with friends, in forming new friendships or in
renewing of old ones. For this reason the opening days of
College are milestones in a student's life never to be forgotten.
The warmth and sincerity of the welcomes fills one with air inexplicable joy, which can be gained nowhere else.
At this time the " N e w s " claims a share in the "rejoicing"
and extends to the Faculty and to each and every student a most
hearty welcome. We have assembled here tinder circumstances
which are entirely different than those marking other semesters.
With our country at war, it is quite natural that the educational
institutions should be the first to be affected. State College,
however, continues on its way, increasing its educational service
to meet the new demands with the noble aim of increasing the
student's availability for national service. 'Phis should be your
aim also.
At no time has the college student body distinguished itself
as in this recent great military undertaking. There was a call
for leaders and no class of people responded more magnificently
than the college man. His success has been remarkable.
Moreover, there is another field of service for many of us who
are too young or otherwise disqualified for military Work. The
college classroom work is not useless and unavailing; it has not
ceased to be of value and of interest. In it there is service which
will be of infinite value in the future. " T h e college man .must
be the protector of idealism through the dark days of war and
in the period which will ensue after peace is declared." This —
his share — will be an important factor in solving the problem of
democracy.
So with the word of greeting goes the ardent hope that every
student will persue his work eagerly and follow his ideals so
that he will be well fitted to respond to the call of his country
when needed.
OUR HONOR ROLL
There is an honor roll in this paper, on which are the names
of those men from our College who have dedicated their lives to
the service of their country. Are we going to do the same?
Most of us feel that we cannot go on living our plain, common,
everyday lives while those we love are " somewhere in France."
We feel that we must suspend our usual labors, give up our
little happinesses, and do something heroic — as they are doing
over there. Hut there are different kinds of heroism, and ours
must be another kind.
We must live normal, healthful, happy lives, if we would
serve the nation, The time may come when vvc feel that life
holds for us no more real joy-—then we must live and be happy
deliberately.
The men at the front deserve a place on the nation's honor
roll for their bravery. They must be brave, " for there is much
to dare." Shall we deserve a place on that same roll of honor
for our strength? We must be strong, "for there is much to
suffer."
the stage of infancy and is now stepping out for greater things,
Though it is safe to say the " News " is quite healthy, it still
needs your support.

SOME OF THE ORGANIZATIONS AT STATE
COLLEGE
Myskania.
One of the most, important
steps in the development of
student spirit and power in
his institution was the organization, March, 1917, of a Student Council.
The purpose of the Council
is to serve as a means of communication between the student and the faculty, and to
represent the opinion of the
student body.
The Council is an honorary
body composed of Seniors who
have won places of prominence in scholarship and student activities, and who have a
capacity for leadership.
The first Student Council
which was appointed by the
faculty consisted of Kolin
Hager, Mildred
Lawrence.
Edith
Wallace,
Margaret
Christ, Willard Pearsall, Stanley G. Fitzgerald, Edward L.
Long, Edith E. Rose, Emma
H. Gray, Marion M. Payne,
Guy V. P»ruce.
This Council, as will all subsequent councils, had scats
upon the platform at student
assemblies; governed interclass contests, other than
athletics; administered the
rules governing the various
.competitions for officers; administered the college customs; and made recommendations to the student assembly.
On Moving-up Day the second
Student Council was chosen.
Five members were appointed
by the faculty and five by the
outgoing council. After the
customary Moving-up Day
exercises in the Auditorium,
the members of the Class of
191 (S filed across the stage passing before the members of
Myskania. One by one the
members were chosen and they
took their places on the platform. Those who were selected from the Junior Class
