State lost in a speedy contest
with Colgate at Hamilton Saturday, Feb, 14, by a score of 67 to
29.
Good form and plenty of
"pep." were displayed by both
sides.
The Purple and Gold
showed decided improvement in
comparison with their first game
with the Maroon and White.
For the first' live minutes the
teams were tied, and the Colgate
lads found it necessary to travel at
top speed before they could draw
away from 'the State live. At the
end of the first half the score
stood ,31 to 17 in favor of the
former.
In the second period Colgate
had several fresh players in her
line up, and they were able to score
more points, making (he final score
67 to 31 in their favor.
For State, Cassavant and Springmaun did the scoring, the former
making seven field baskets and the
latter scoring five field and live
foul goals. The rest of the team
gave them fine support.
The Colgate five divided their
scoring pretty evenly between all
the players, but Stcffcn led his
'I'.'im males, scoring eight field
baskets.

surely showed the College what
the sophomore class can do. The
committee in charge — Augusta

Persons,

— deserves great credit. The outline of the stunt was as follows:
Frances Stilson, as representative
of the Stunt Committee, was first
seen endeavoring to find some plan
for sophomore day. To aid her a
lady and gentleman of Colonial
clays appeared on the stage. They
came in commemoration of Washington's birthday, The parts were
taken by Sybil Balme and Leland
Foster, The minuet they danced
was well received.
Following them came Ctipid with
bow and arrows.

appeared at her command. After
a very pretty dance they asked to
become Stale College girls. Their
desire was granted and they departed to be transformed, At this

PROMINENT ALBANY
TEACHER DEAD
Professor Edward Futterer Suecubs to Sudden Illness
Albany lost one of its finest and
best known citizens in the death of
Professor Edward Futtercr, Wednesday, Feb. 11, after an illness of
a few hours.
Professor Futtercr was well
known to Albanians, having been
director of music in the Albany
public schools since 1886, and he
was held in high esteem by the
many people who came in contact
with him, Many of Albany's present musicians owe much to the
earnest endeavors, made, in their
school days, by Mr. Futtercr. His
kindliness and geniality won for
him the love of the school children
of Albany.
The deceased is survived by his
wife, Mrs. Anna T. Casey Futtercr,
three sons, Edward, Jr., J.
Spenslcy, Frederick G., and one
daughter, Miss Agnes E. Futterer.
The
" News"
extends
the
sineerest sympathy of the faculty
and the student body of State College to Miss Futterer and her family in their sad bereavement.

A REPLY
With reference to last week's
"Just Criticism" we make this
statement:
It was undoubtedly
too severe In its criticism of the
attention given' the Dramatics and
Art Association's production. Several photographs were published
previous to the performance and a
very good write-up followed.
The write-ups of junior weekend were undeniably poor, This
has been accounted for by the
regular reporter being ill on that
date. ' Profuscness of routine affairs is acknowledged, but wc feel
that when things do really happen
here they should be written up as
such.
Our first live defeats in
basketball were played up" and not
a word of our first victory mentioned. A very good account of
the Manhattan game followed.
We cannot dictate the policy of
news gathering of any paper except our own, but we do feel that
if regular reporters become ill, as
in the case of the reception, prom
and Pharmacy game, capable substitutes should be employed to
cover such affairs. Last year a
student reporter covered our field
and satisfaction ensued.
We might suggest to Albany's
newspapers in general that students of State College like to be
regarded as such in academic,
social and athletic circles. We are
students in a college, a pedagogical
institution. We are proud of our
profession or we shouldn't be here,
but we are still undergraduates and
would like our immediate environment to realize this fact.
" We don't mean to criticize unjustly, but we do want fair treatment."
NEWMAN NEWS
Newman club extends its heartfelt sympathy to Miss Futterer at
this time of her sad bereavement.
The club, in a body, visited Miss
Futtercr's home Friday evening,
February 13, where prayers were
offered, led by Father Dunney.
WASHINGTON, LINCOLN*
AND THE TEACHER
This is the great Inspirational
month of the year, the month in
which the birthdays of two of our
greatest American leaders come.
It is the time when a great many
students are prone to let their
thoughts wander from the pages of
their textbooks and picture themselves in terms of Washington and
Lincoln, It is, therefore, lilting at
this time that we should devote a
little space to the appreciation of
these men.
We have a proud feeling that
there is not otic student who does
not know the lives of Washington
and Lincoln forwards and backwards, Wc do not doubt but there
are many who could tell just why
these men were worthy of honor in
a more pleasing manner than we
can. And so we hesitate about saying more; and yet there is a message which these two national
heroes arc sending through the
years to that group of workers in
which State College is especially
interested. Iii our meager way we
shall try to interpret the bearing of
that message upon the present day
problem of underpaid teachers.
The problem is a vital one, With
the advance in the prices of necessities there has been a decided advance in the wages of everyone except the teacher. The result is that
while attractive salaries are being
paid in other fields, the educator
must worry along with a pay envelope barely large enough to keep
him from starvation. What shall
wc do? Shall wc continue to study
for teachers when after a slmrt apprenticeship we \ might secure a
much more lucrative position in the
industrial world? In New York
city a great many of the teachers
arc resigning. "The Evening Sun '•'•for February 13 in an editorial entitled "The Teacher Retires," referring to the retirement of Dr.
Edgar Fahs Smith from his post as
Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, says: "When the self-forgetting teacher retires permanently,
the world will shut up shop for
awhile as has happened once or
twice in history."
But what do Washington and
Lincoln have to say? Washington
gives us an example of supreme
self-sacrifice when he took the position of Commander-in-Chief of the
American Army without pay, and
helped to finance the Revolution
out of his own pocket at the risk of
becoming ruined. If you would do
something noble (and what is
more noble than combating ignorance?) it can usually be accomplished only through self-denial.
This docs not mean that the pedagogue should necessarily teach
without pay or that he should not ]
ask for more pay; but simply that,
if he is fitted for his work and '
likes it, he should not forsake it
though it is not at present very
remunerative. As for Lincoln, his
message may be summed up by
one quotation, " H e sticks through
thick and thin; T admire such a
man."

To the Editor of the News:
With the opening of the second
semester there came a distinct
change in the attendance rules and
regulations. It is not our purpose
to criticize these regulations, but
we feel that they will work an incalculable harm to the college unless modified in one particular.
This realization was brought
home to us not a long time ago
when we asked if these regulations
made an exception of athletes engaged in carrying on an approved
college schedule of out of town

nor, Frances Keeks and Helen
Walsh.
Then came Lindy and Rastus to
suggest the birthday of Lincoln,
the great emancipator. Catharine
Drury and Isadore Bfeslau represented these colored folks, After
the valentines returned as college
girls, Cupid was very sad, but this
sorrow was soon changed to gladness when she was asked to be
class mascot and was given a cap
and gown. The stunt ended with
the singing of Alma Mater by
everyone.
All those who took part are to
be complimented upon the cleverness and ability which were displayed in the dialogues, songs and
dances.
Previous to the stunt voting for
the " Pedagogue " took place, Ballots were cast for the most popular
faculty and student, the biggest
grind, the laziest faculty and student, the nerviest, the most eccentric, and the most conceited students,
DR. HASTINGS
Continued from page 1
the conservative who stands pat
for things as they are, and second,
the radical, the reformer, The
first term most certainly does not
apply to Ibaneis, the second does.
But again, there are two types of
radicals, One would tear down,
destroy, sweep away abuses, but
he, has nothing to suggest with
which to fill the void he creates.
It is to this type that Ibanez apparently belongs.
We find no
justification for admitting him to
the higher order of critics, who,
while they still tear clown, yet lay
the plans, at least, for a better,
nobler structure than that which
they destroy.
The charges so often brought to
bear against Ibanez — charges of
brutal realism, of lack of reticence,
of poor art—these Dr, Hastings
treated at length in connection
with his discussion of " T h e Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse." He
spoke of the old Greek tragedies,
which, though noted for their depiction of bloodshed and cruelty,
still never allowed scenes of this
kind to actually occur before the
audience, but insisted that they
take place off the stage. Dr. Hastings quoted from Hazlilt as an example of the accepted standard of
art which holds that there are
some scenes before which "the
veil should be drawn," Certainly
Ibanez offends most seriously any
who hold this opinion and cling to
the doctrine of " good manners " in
art.
In concluding Dr. Hastings discussed the answer which Ibanez
gives to the question, " Where so
much has been destroyed by war
what remains to which mankind
may cling?" He finds the author's
answer in the closing pages of
" T h e Four Horsemen," — in that
scene among the graves with the
old couple grieving for their dead
son and with their daughter, ignoring their grief, absorbed in
thoughts of her own life and that
of her husband. _ Loyalty, then,
and the physical instincts, — these
things, according to Ibanez, are
the ones that endure.
In keeping with the Spanish atmosphere of the meeting a costume dance was given under the
auspices of the Spanish Club.
Those who took part were: Ellen
Donohue, Florence Bohn, Peggy
Van Ness, - Madeline Cummings,
Harriet Woolsey and Alice Brown,
The meeting closed with a vocal
solo in Spanish by Florence

POLITICAL SCIENCE
Continued from page 1
Benjamin Sclnvadelson expressed
their views in open session. Dean
Horner then talked informally on
what the Political Science Club
might do for State College. The
substance of his talk was this:
"Cultivate the judicial temperament; bow to the will of the majority; dignify the calling of the
teacher."
A business meeting was held
after the discussion, Mr, Hubbard,
Richard O'Brien, Marian Moore,
Helen Leitzell and Hazel Lee were
accepted as members of the club.
It was voted that the club meet on
Monday evening in alternate
weeks, It was agreed that the
member should pay fifty cents each
to cover the expense of publishing
a half page picture and half page
write up in the " Pedagogue.1'
DcWd Halstcadj Lovisa Vedder
and Earl Matticc were chosen as
a committee to take charge of preparing the publication. An amendment to the constitution was
passed as follows: "All members
who fail to be present at three consecutive meetings shall be suspended automatically. Upon satisfactory explanation of absences
within one month after suspension
they may be reinstated at the discretion of the president."
