Valentine, both a student and teacher
at Stale College, who gave her life
in service. Dr. Brubachcr spoke of
her desire to help in the war. " There
is no niie in our family lo go," she
had sairl, " a n d 1 feel that I can do
something."
Dr. Richardson as a close friend
and associate id' Miss Valentine, told
of her pure, noble, and inspiring life.
She had formerly gone in Vlhany
.Vormal School as a student. Later
to obtain her degree she went to
Vassar, where she was distinguished
by her spirit of friendship, her wit,
humor and keen desire fur knowledge, There she won the love and
admiration of the students, faculty
and trustees. " H e r wit," said Dr.

especially in
honor of the Class of 1923. The entire student body and the women of

After graduating from
Vassar,
Miss Valentine returned lo State
College, where she look a number of

decided to join the service.
She went first lo Plymouth, England, where she spent many months

Surely the sun shines for G. A. A.!
In spile of the dreary looking day,
two bus loads of G. A. A.'s rolled
away from Stale College at 12:45.
By 2:00 o'clock the bunch was just
starting up the mountain full of vim
and pep—• with the sun shining as if
it bad never intended to do otherwise.
Mountain climbing took about an
hour and a half of lime and five hundred puffs of enerev. It's merely incidental ihat not a person had remembered the " e a t s , " hut there were
plenty of willing freshmen to trot
obediently down the mountain to
bring the " doggies " up to sec the big
bonfire someone had built. The "eats"
disappeared in record time, and, rumors have it, in record-breaking
quantities.
One bus left at 5:30, soon after the
banquet, but many of the hikers
stayed until 7:00. Even the weary
seven o'clockers had enough energy
to sing and cheer all the way home—
and G. A. A. can cheer. Much of
the fun was due to (he jolly chaperones, Dr. Douglass, Miss Card, and
Miss Scotland, and G. A. A.'s lively
president, Harriet Woolsey, '20.

Professor Herbert M. Douglass,
head of Industrial Education Department, has returned from the West,
where he was called by the death of
his brother-in-law.
Before be returned
Fast, Professor
Douglass
spent some lime at the Dunwoody
Inslilule al Minneapolis, Minn., and
the Stout Institute at Menominee,
Wisconsin.
Dunwoody Institute is a vocational
school which was established about
three years ago by a man named
Dunwoody, and was by him heavily
endowed.
It is now under the direct ion of Dr. C, A. I'rosser, a leading figure in vocational education in
I he United Stales. The registration
al the inslilule totals approximately
live hundred.
Plans are already
under way lo erect three more buildings in anticipation of a larger enrolment.
The school gives instruction in machine-shop practice, automobile repair— this was an exceedingly large
class, Professor Douglass reported —
carpentry, cabinet making, printing,
electrical work, .sheet metal work,
plumbing, commercial photography,
and baking. During the war Dunwoody Institute trained seven thousand soldiers and sailors.
Stout Institute is supported entirely
by the Slate of Wisconsin.
It is
unique in that it docs just I wo things
— it trains teacher.0, of home economics and teachers of industrial
subjects.
The equipment of this
college is splendid. T h e Dome Economics Building is double the space
of our entire Science Building, and
connected with it is an auditorium
thai will seal eight hundred people.
This auditorium is lilted out with a
stage similar to those in modern
tin aires, and a complete motion
picture outfit.
Both
departments
have a splendid gymnasium with upto-date swimming pools.
Professor
Douglass especially emphasized the
thoroughness with which the Industrial Department is equipped, l i e
found there a carpenter shop in
which could be built a small onefamily house which could later be
moved out through movable walls.
T h e city high school is attached
to the main building and there they
find difficulty not in getting the students to elect work in the two departments of the college, but in obtaining enough practice teachers to
accommodate the students.

ARE W E W A K I N G UP?
In last week's " News " an article
called "We Are Waking Up" was
published. We may lie —along certain lines, but so far, developments
in some other directions are absolutely lacking. Take, for instance,
the matter of our blanket tax, Of
course, we realize the delay necessary in the election of our new Finance Board, but it is now a week
since the members were elected and
no developments have as yet been
evinced. Nothing can be carried on
without money, and the expenses of
college activities are secured thru the
Hoard of Finance. No request for
budgets . has been received; therefore we suppose nothing has as yet
been done towards calculating the
amount of the tax.
Another line in which activity is
at a standstill is underclassmen
rivalry. Where are the caps and buttons that belong to the restless
Frosh? Why are the members of
'23 allowed to break every rule in
the " Bible" and escape with no
chastisement whatsoever? A little
more pep, please, '22!
The one branch in which we all
seem to be making most headway is
that of studying. Very good, Eddie,
but' that is taken for granted. We
would-be school teachers must necessarily delve into pedagogical depths
regularly, but we must also revive
our' Jagging mentalities just as regularly with social affairs. What lias
happened to our former lunch-period
dansants? And is it a new rule that
even on Friday nights our gym must
be darkened at 10:30 o'clock instead
of the former half-hour later?
Please, everybody out to maintain
our standard of equality of work and
play, and let's go — in every direction I
This issue of the " N e w s " might
lie called the revival number. We
hope every member of the faculty
and student body will " hit the trail"
and stay hit.
NO EXCUSE
From now on there will be absolutely no cause for every student not
knowing his Alma Mater, With the
current issue of the "News" is a
supplement, slightly smaller than a
page of the College Song Book, on
which is printed the new tune, "Try
it on your piano " and learn it and the
three verses that go with it.
" PEP "
i Yes, it's an old, old subject; but,
since there is no one who has too
much "pep," and Economics 4
teaches us that " suggestion is
powerful in proportion to its mass
or volume." we venture to add this
modest bit to what has already
been said.
We hope you will not make the
mistake of thinking that we consider State College lacking in
"peii." She, as a College, and her
students, as classes and individuals,
have shown abundance of it. And
where much has been done, more
can be doiic,_ but satisfaction is a
dangerous thing. We must not be
entirely satisfied.
State College has grown in spite
of cramped quarters and inadequate equipment. Last year she
put a winning basketball team on
the floor, and competed in the
Inter-collegiate track meet, although she had only forty men and
no basketball court or a track of
her own. There's " p e p ! " But
with a little mure of the same vim
.'Hid punch she can force stubborn
executives to grant her more room,
and she can register enough men
so thai she will be recognized in
all sports.
And as for I be classes, '20 has
always set a good pace. This year
she can show us how to leach, so
that, when she is gone, '21, cannot
help bill follow her brilliant example.
And '21's slogan has always
been:
"Full of life, full of pep,
Nineteen Twenty-one, you bet!' 1
She is going to show us what
big sisters can do for the Frosh
and how a From should be conducted,
'22 has been a good class, but
this year, as Dr. Painter would
say, the odds are against her. She
will need to lie "on her toes" all
the time in order to keep Minerva
from being desecrated and the
campus from being trampled down.
And now, '23, vvc are hardly acquainted with you, but we feel sure
that in spite of your numerals you
will be here after mid-years, and
that you will keep the Sophs
worrying all the while.
So much for the classes, but it
is for the individual that we really
wrote this. VVc cannot analyze all
the students in college to sec if
they have " pep," but we can ask
questions. Are you going out for
athletics? Arc you helping run
things in your class, or are you
" too busy "? _ Are you taking part
in college activities, or dn you let
some one else do it? Maybe in days
gone past you have taken part in all
three, but because you have won no
official title, you feel discouraged.
If so, you should read this verse
from Grace G. Bostwick's poem, entitled " P e p " :
" Sand and grit in a concrete
base —
That's pep!
Friendly smile on an honest face —
That's pep!
The spirit that
helps when
another's down,
That knows how to scatter the
blackest frown,
That loves its neighbors, and loves
its town —
That's pep! "
—'21,
DID IT DIE?
During a discussion among a
number of uppcrclassmen recently,
the subject of "Promethean" was
brought up. ft is only among
uppcrclassmen that such a subject
can be discussed, for Promethean
seems to have just faded out of
existence some time during the
past two years. Fond memories of
jolly meetings of this literary and
music society arc still cherished.
These meetings were held on alternate Thursday evenings in the
auditorium, and the programs presented furnished attraction for a
large majority of the students in
college. Both faculty and students
took part, and the initiation of new
members always afforded a great
amount of fun.
Of course, we have Music Club
now which, in a way, takes the
place of Promethean, but we believe there is room and need for
both. A field in which Slate College has had no part in recent
years is that of debating. Cannot
Promethean be revived to its old
extent and vigor, and be broadened
so as to include active debating
teams?
There must at present be many
members of the old Promethean
in college. They should form the
nucleus of a new organization, and
should start active campaigns
early. Let's hear from them!
With as much talent as we have
here in literary and musical lines
a live program should never be
wanting. Think over the matter
of inter-class, and possible intercollegiate debates, and express
your opinion " via " the " News,"

NEWMAN
CLUB
Sunday morning an important
meeting of the Newman Council was
held at the home of Father Dunney,
on Western Avenue. Plans for the
coining year were discussed and
will be voted upon al the firsl meeting of this society. The proposed
plans concern a formal reception
and initiation of the Freshmen members, the date of which, though not
definitely settled, will probably be
late in October. Before this time the
councilors of Newman will endeavor
to sec personally each Freshman intending to become a member of this
club. Plans arc under consideration
for the club to receive Communion
in a body on Sunday, October IP, and
afterwards breakfast at the Cafeteria.
A more definite announcement will
be made later. However, keep the
date open, for every Newmanite will
have an excellent opportunity to
meet the new members of the club,
at this time. October 16 the men
of the club will have a smoker at
Father Dunney's residence, 454
Western Avenue.
Wednesday, October 8, a meeting
of all the present members of Newman was held al: 4 o'clock in room
211.
Show your spirit ! Get in line,
be a Newmanite! This club must
have every member back of it, every
member out for every meeting, every
member out for every social affair.
The plans for the meetings this year
promise to be most interesting, and
the social affairs arc to be numerous
and real.
We \vant_ you, Freshmen! Be
ready to join when the councilors
come around. We arc going to have
pep this year and lots of it. Don't
stand on the side lines. Join the
game, or rather, the club. But it
Jakes spirit to play this game, that
is,_ to be a real Newmanite, so join
with that intention and keep in the
front ranks. You will always be indebtcded to the club for the benefit
and fun you get out of it, but go in
for it strong, and we'll call it square.
Join, Freshmen! " P E P " is the
abbreviation for Newman this year.
Be peppy.

After receiving' favorable
word from the Society, Miss Mayhew was required to go to Clinton,
N, Y., to interview a Mrs. Chase,
wife of one of the Hamilton College
professors, in order that Airs. Chase
might make a report to the Society
on the personality of the applicant.
Two weeks later, a telegram came
instructing Miss Mayhcw to go to ilie
French Commission in Washington,
D. C, to^ receive her appointment and
further instructions. Later she was
notified to sail for France October
11 with the other candidates.
The school thai Miss Mayhcw will
enter will be a Lyccc, bul in what
part of France, she docs not know.
She will probably be required to
study Latin, mathematics, music,
French literature and history. The
Lycces of France, though very much
like boarding schools, are under
government control.
The purpose of the Society for
American Fellowships in French
Universities is three-fold: First, to
perpetuate through a body of university students the friendship that
exists between France and the United
States; secondly, to develop a better
appreciation of the contributions of
French Universities to science and
learning; and thirdly, lo offer for
open competition among the graduates of American colleges and others
with experience in the technical fields
opportunities for advanced study in
the French Universities.
The Society was organized last
spring, and it was decided In launch
the plan at once, partly in order to
enable the selected candidates lo enter
upon their studies at the beginning of
the forthcoming academic year,
partly lo meet the wishes of some of
the French educational authorities
who are cooperating in the plan, even
though the lime for securing the
desired publicity was not adequate.
The first awards were made in Seplemher, bul in future it is intended
thai applications shall be made before
January first of each year and to
announce the awards in the following
