HISTORY OF T H E
COLLEGE
Last June State College celebrated the seventy-fifth year of its
foundation. Following is a condensed history of the institution:
From Europe the normal school
system reached America. It came
directly from Prussia to the United
States thru the efforts of Rev.
Charles Brooks of Massachusetts.
In 1C39 Massachusetts founded at
Lexington, her first normal school.
A few years later New York established her first at Albany.
New York did not act hastily
in this matter. The founding of
the normal school had been advocated by state and comity superintendents; it had been brought to
the homes of people by the District
School Journal. Horace Mann and
Henry Barnard had spoken for it.
Finally, it reached the legislature
in the form of a bill, presented in
1843 by Calvin T. Hulburd of St.
Lawrence county. This bill was
successfully carried thru by his
efforts and those of Michael Hoffman of Herkimer county. The
school was to be an experiment for
five years. For its support during
that time the sum of $10,000 was
to be paid annually from the literature fund. The supervision and
government of the school were to
be conducted by the superintendent
of common schools and the Regents of the University. The following executive committee was at
once appointed:
Col. Samuel
Young, Rev. Alonzo Potter, Hon.
Gideon Hawley, Francis Dwight
and Rev. Win. 11.'Campbell.
Soon the committee was organized and the work distributed
among its members.
Gideon
Hawley secured from the city of
Albany the lease of a building, together with $500, to help put the
property in order. Frances Dwight
visited the school at Lexington, to
learn of its organization and equipment. Dr. Potter went to Massachusettcs, empowered to engage a

ARE COLLEGE DAYS
BEST DAYS?
Our friends, who are a great deal
older than we are, tell us our college days are the best clays of our
lives. We think that perhaps they
are right, for thejy have lived longer
than we have, but we cannot really
believe that their statements arc
quite true. We argue that the
future — the dim, far-off time when
all our dreams are to be realized,
so we hope — must hold more for
us than the present does.
Whether our college days arc
our best days, or whether they arc
only foundation stones upon which
we plan to build a wonderful future,
the necessity of getting the most
out of them is just the same. At
college we learn to understand and
to appreciate, to some extent at
least, things that were before only
names to us. Wc find that It is
really the fair play spirit that
makes athletics worth while. But
aside from these things — the ones
wc usually stress too much — if wc
make even one or two real friends
while wc arc in college, we have
done a great deal towards making
our life there successful. For,
after all, is it not our friends that
do so much to make things pleasant
for us, in school and after wards?
To have friends, one must be a
friend, of course. This implies our
need of sympathy, consideration;
and kindly interest for our friends'
welfare, if we all tried to cultivate
these qualities, what a spirit of
friendliness would pervade our college. Do you think that anyone
would ever mourn because there
was too friendly a spirit here? We
are friendly — but let's be even
more so,
THE DAILY PAPER
Did you ever think of our various bulletin boards as comprising
a daily college newspaper in which
each board represents a page or
section?
The topics of general interest to
all students are written upon the
lirst page which may be read upon
entering the front door. Club and
class meetings are announced with
big headlines. News telegraphed
from the business office announcing the arrival of scholarship
money, or from the college doctor,
summoning some to appear for examination, or from the dean, news
of this type from our college notorizes may be read on the first
page.
The crime column is found on
the second sheet. Fortunately, this
is very short, consisting only of
the freshman penalty list, published
by the sophomores.
On the page of social activities
wc read of the coming prom,
soiree, or party.
The latest opportunities for employment are listed also on one of
the first pages. This section is
very popular with the seniors.
Everybody in college reads at least
these pages.
Then if you did not have time
to read your paper at home before
coming to school you may find current events upon the history bulletin board. An interesting editorial column is also conducted
here.
If you are interested in science
and invention, you may read on the
physics and chemistry bulletin
boards of the wireless station recently set up in the science building or of the " Harmone."
Religious activities are pttblished through the Y. W. C. A. and
Newman Club bulletin boards.
The sport section posts news
about
basketball games, gym
frolics, W. A, A. hikes, and swimming.
On the advertising page we have
the "Lost and Found" section, the
section where the Co-op Book
Store announces its latest books,
and a section where the cafeteria
lists its menu.
To you who have not been accustomed to reading our bulletin
boards we say wake up lo the opportunity of getting acquainted
with every phase of college activity in this way.

LARGE DEMAND
FOR COMMERCIAL
TEACHERS
The demand for college (rained
commercial teachers has never been
greater than at present. To-day
there arc 704 high school commercial position!, in 207 different
public schools in L!IC State outside
of New York City. These positions offer salaries ranging Irom
$1,100 to $3,500 according to training and experience. That school
authorities are anxious to obtain
college graduates for commercial
(caching positions is reflected in
the calls that have come to State
College for such instructors. Of
(hose in this year's class who have
commercial teaching positions for
next year the lowest is $1,200 and
the higihest $1,800.
The new continuation school law
passed by the Legislature last year
will be an important factor in increasing this demand for commercial teachers, It is estimated that
by 1925 when the law will be in
full operation, 300,000 boys and
girls of ages 14, 15, 16 and \1 years
will be enrolled in the part-time
school. Of this 300,000 at least
25% or 75,000 will be commercial
students. Add this 75,000 to the
50,000 now enrolled in one or more
coirancrcial subjects in the all-clay
public schools, and one gets sonic
conception of dlie tremendous opportunity that is developing for
the commercial teacher in the
future.
AFTER VACATION
Now that our brief vacation has
come and gone we arc once more
settled down to our college work.
However, with the yet distant, but
inevitable final examinations in the
backs of our minds, there is danger
that some of us arc going to be too
settled. It is true that there is always plenty to be done and social
affairs should not detract too much
from the accomplishment of the
fundamental purpose of our presence here. Nevertheless, there is
one tiling for which we should —
we must take time. That is outof-doors recreation.
One may
think that no urging is necessary
on this point, but many arc the people who are within doors at their
books when the most beautiful
hiking weather is waiting to be enjoyed. This is just the best season
of the year, Choose your way of
making the most of it! Remember,
the busiest people have time for
lots of things, and (hose assignments will go twice as fast after
you have breathed in a copious
amount of fine, fresh oxygen.

garden, It carries one far away
from this work-a-day world, yet succeeds in keeping its readers close
to its people that have the appeal
of realism softened by the gentle
charm that is Barrie's.
The play is laid in the period of
the Napoleonic wars and is written about two women, Miss Susan
and Miss Phoebe, whose standards
of ideal womanliness fill most of
their thoughts. Miss Susan, the
elder by ten years, is the understanding heart to whom Phoebe
confides her love for the dashing
Valentine Brown, When he goes
away to the wars, all unsuspecting
that the little ladies had expected
him to offer himself to Phoebe,
they decide to hide this as well as
the fact that they have lost the half
of the income which had been invested at his instigation. When
the dashing Captain Brown comes
back after an absence of ten years,
he is surprised to find his flowergarden girl an old, care-worn
teacher. But Phoebe has kept her
wedding dress, the gift of Susan,
and at times she dressed in it to
make a fairy picture of the girl of
the flower garden.
Now, she
masquerades in it as Miss Libby, a
niece of Phoebe's. By her modern
airs and graces, she is such a contrast to the captain's picture of
Phoebe as a girl that he cannot
but love the tired, but womanly,
teacher. The soldier sees through
the scheme and when all explanations are made, Phoebe finds she
docs not hate him at all but that
she still loves him.
" Quality Street " is the type of
play that Miss Futtercr docs exceptionally well — perhaps It is because her voice has in it the same
sort of charm that Barrie's plays
have, or perhaps it is because she
is so natural, so unaffected in all
her work. Her reading was enjoyed by all, and students, faculty, and our outside friends join
with the " Knickerbocker Press"
in saying Miss Futtercr has added
another success to her long list of
achievements in dramatic reading.
MAY MUSIC FESTIVAL
In May will occur the first Annual Spring Concert of the
Women's Chorus of State College. Dr. Thompson, head of the
music department, will conduct and
Dr. Candlyn, a composer of note
and assistant in the department,
will be at the piano. The concert
promises not only to be particularly
worth while but most unusual.
Numbers by such composers as
Grieg, Gounod, Tschaikowsky, and
others of like rank will be sung.
We all know what the chorus
can do, having heard them sing before the Albany Alumni, at the
Hamilton Concert, and twice before the student body in chapel.
Each of these four minor appearances has demonstrated to us the
remarkable progress the chorus is
making along the lines of tone,
quality and technique.
The chorus is rapidly pushing
State forward musically. Let us

Who Was Moseley?
H
E was a young Oxford man, only twenty-seven when he
was killed at Gallipoli. Up to his time, man had never
seen the inside of an atom. He turned the X-rays on
matter—not figuratively but literally—and made them disclose
the skeleton of an atom just as certainly as a surgeon makes
them reveal the positions of the bones of the body. Moseley proved that all atoms are built up of the same kind of matter.
He saw, too, just why an atom of copper is different from an
atom of gold.
Atoms are built up of electrons. Each atom consists of a
nucleus, a kind of sun, with a certain number of electrons grouped
about it, like planets. Moseley actually counted the number of
electrons of all the metals from aluminum to gold.
When you discover what gold is made of or a new fact about
electricity, you open up new possibilities for the use of gold or
electricity. For that reason the Research Laboratories of the
General Electric Company are as much concerned with the
" h o w " of things—atoms and electrons, for instance—as they are
with mere applications of the electric current.
Hence Moseley's work has been continued in the Research
Laboratories, with the result .nat more has been learned about
matter. How does water frjeze? What is lead? Why are lead,
iron, gold and tungsten malleable? Such questions can be answered more definitely now than ten years ago. And because they
can be answered it is possible to make more rapid progress in
illumination, in X-ray photography, in wireless telegraphy, and
in electrical engineering as a whole.
There would have been no coal-tar industry without the vast
amount of research conducted in organic chemistry, and no
electro-chemical industry without such work as Sir Humphrey
Davey's purely scientific study of an electric current's effect on
caustic potash and caustic ssoda. Sooner or later research in pure
science always enriches the world with discoveries that can be
practically applied. For these reasons the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company devote so much time to
the study of purely scientific problems.

MEN'S ATHLETICS
Basketball :
State faced a difficult problem at the opening of the basketball season.
Six of last year's squad had graduated and it was necessary to choose
a squad from new material. This task of coaching a team which would
give us a majority of victories fell to one man who has made himself solid
with all State.
The Coach
Francis B. Snavely has by his work with the Purple Quintet built up a
reputation as a first class college coach. Whose strenuous work lasted
from the first call in November until the last whistle blew on the
St. Stephen's game. His success is well shown in the record of his men
on the court.
Captain Hathorn
" Shorty " has completed his second year as a varsity basketball player,
and the confidence which State had in him when she chose him to lead
the team this year has not been misplaced. At the pivot position he has
tapped the ball almost at will to his team-mates. " Shorty " plays a hard
and conservative game. It will be a hard task to fill his place next year.
Manager
The spirit with which Manager Bliss went at his task of securing
games early in the year was assurance alone that a good schedule would
be prepared, and the tentative schedule was already nearing completion
at the end of last year. The schedule consisted of thirteen games of
which six were played at home. Many of our old rivals were included
as Colgate, Union, St. Lawrence and CTarkson, and relations were opened
in addition with several new institutions, as a result of Manager Bliss'
efforts. Much praise is due to the Manager for the ability he showed
and the time and effort he devoted to this work. He was aided by
Assistant Manager Linck and Scrub Managers, MacFarlane, Putman and
Scott.
Cauavant
Ted is another man who has played his last game for State and whose
place will be hard to fill next year. In the two years which he has played
with the varsity he has made a wonderful record. To him goes the
honor of leading the team in scoring.
Johnson
To " J a c k " goes the honor of being the most aggressive player on the
team. He has played an article of basketball which has been a joy to
all followers of the Purple. How he kept State in the running by his
clever floor work will not be forgotten. He and his running mate,
Cassavant, tied in the number of field baskets for the season. We predict a good season for State with " J a c k " as captain.
Polt
" Dutch " is another man who has donned his suit for the last time
at State. He has played three years at guard and is one of the most
dependable in the East. He has a way of getting the ball and passing
it to the right man at the right moment that has made him one of
the best back-court men developed at State.
Baker
" J a k i e " is one more senior of this year's squad that will be missed
next year. After an injury that kept out him out of basketball last year
and the early games this year, he broke into the game and fairly burned
up the floor with his speed in bringing the ball down the court, and
remember how he held St. Lawrence's star on their court?
Dobris
Here, is one of the new men of the varsity who put up an excellent
exhibition of back-court work this season. His handling of the ball has
helped the State quintet get their bearings and go on to victory. We
hope he decides to come back next year.
Sherlock
" J o e " is one more senior Who has played his last game as a member
of the varsity. While his position is regularly guard he filled in at
center and forward and played a cool, conservative game wherever
placed.
Linck
Next year we predict that State will have a playing manager. Besides
performing all the duties of assistant manager he broke into three games
and played a fine brand of basketball.
Sherley
_ Here is a frosh whom we know will make good at State. This year
he captained the reserves and took part in three varsity games.
The Reserves
We owe much to these men who gave their time to help the varsity
get into shape. Especially do the seniors of this squad deserve our
thanks as they will not be able to make their letter in future years
as most of the others. They playet' a schedule this year meeting the
« • / • I. Reserves in two games, St Joseph's Academy in two games, and
Milne High School, The squad consisted of Sherley, Linck, Strain,
Donohue, Rcilly, T. Cassavant, Baldwin, Grey, Putnam and MacFarlane.

OUTLOOK FOR NEXT
YEAR'S BASKETBALL
SEASON
More Extensive Schedules Planned
The basketball team for the
year '21~'22 will lose, through
graduation, several of its star players. The loss of Cassavant, Polt,
Baker and Hathorn will quite
break up the old varsity. Coach
Suavely, however, has fine prospects for Linck, '22, Baldwin, '22,
Riley, '23, Shcrlcy, '24 and John
Cassavant, '24, to nil these vacancies. The scrub team has played
in unusually good form this year
and is expected to put forth a winning team next year for State,
The basketball management is
planning a large schedule of games
for next season, including a trip
through the western part of the
state to play Hobart, University of
Buffalo, University of Rochester,
and Niagara. It is quite possible
also that a big game will be staged
at the Armory with Colgate, Yale,
Dartmouth or Cornell.
Several
other colleges, not formerly on our
schedule, as Williams, Hamilton,
Alfred, Trinity, and Worcester
Tech., may also be included in next
season's plans.

GIRL'S ATHLETICS
WOMEN'S ATHLETICS
ASSOCIATION
exhilarating effects of that best of
sports —tennis. There arc several
good courts in the park as well as
ours right here on the campus.
The future of girls' athletics in
State College depends greatly on
the incoming classes for the next
two years. In recent years, athletics
have won a place of more or less
prominence among the girls, but
since the physical education department is being taken from the college all the more interest should be
centered in the major sport, basketball, and the girls' athletics in general.
At present athletics are directed
by the Woman's Athletic Association. The Association is supported
by nominal dues and an appropriation from the student tax fund,
The biggest feature of girls' athletics is an interclass basketball
tournament held during the winter
months on the indoor court. Two
classes arc played between each two
classes, totalling twelve games.
The winning class receives championship honors.
With the close of the basketball
season the teams are glad to announce the champion team this year,
the senior team. For the second
time the team of '21 arc proud to
hold this honor. It is very unusual
for a senior team to win the championship because for lack of interest, spirit or players in its last year,
the team falls down. The seniors
should be highly commended for the
spirit that they have kept for their
team, class, and college, They have
had regular practice weekly, with
practically every member of the
squad present each time. All six
games played by the senior team
were won with the best sportsmanship that could possibly be shown.
Letters are awarded members of
the champion team and numerals to
all those who have played three full
or seven half games. There is a
great deal of rivalry between the
classes over the teams they put forward.
The line-up of this year's teams is
as follows:
W. A. A. officers this year are:
Lela Cackener, '22. president; Winifred Darling, '21, vice-president;
Beulah Cunningham, '21, secretary;
Alida Curry, '22, treasurer; Pauline

SKATING
The park lake and our hockey
rink on the campus furnish excellent
places for skating. This year the
girls who were majors and minors
in physical education were also
taught the rudiments of ice hockey.
If the ice had lasted longer probably
a girls' team would have been
started.
TENNIS
" Merrily we walk along, o'er the
rocky roads!
Merrily we sing State songs, when
we ride in loads! "
Every year W. A, A. holds two
big hikes to Indian Ladder and several smaller hikes around Albany.
These hikes are taken on Saturday
afternoons, but on the Indian Ladder hike a crowd camp out over
night and what a jolly time they do
have! Ask some who went. Several loadsful of girls, with lunch
boxes and cameras start off in big
trucks. Disembarking after a very
jiggly ride, in these same trucks,
everyone takes excellent care that
the freshmen arc loaded to the gunwales with skirts and cameras and
last but not least the lunch boxes,
The older members of the party,
mostly seniors, jog slowly up the
trail, but the underclassmen run,
each trying to out-climb the other.
Tt is the underclassmen, too, who
pursue the trails at breakneck speed
to the horror of the seniors who
wish to gaze at the familiar places
for perhaps the last time, At even,
we descend the mountain tired and
dirty, but happy and content.
All out, ye who would make your
college days rich in experiences
and jolly times. Come, and hike
in the spring when young folks'
fancies lightly turn toward out-ofdoors.

CLASS RIVALRY
Class rivalry has been expressed
in one way by class stunts, Each
class tries to out-do the previous
class in putting on the Annual
Chapel Stunts,
On Novcmlicr 19 the seniors
started the series of stunts by presenting theirs. It consisted of a
series of scenes representing the
chief holidays of the year. They
depicted very effectively
New
Year's, St. Valentine's Day, May
Day, Fourth of July, First Vacation Days, Midsummer's Day, the
First School Day, Hallowe'en,
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Among the features were: Baker,
as the fisher-boy in "The First Vacation Day"; Gertrude Burns, as
Statute of Liberty in "The Fourth
of July," and several clever dances,
as the dance of the witches on
broomsticks and jack-o'-lantern in
" Hallowe'en,"
The
performance
was
well
worked oiu under the leadership
of Amy Clublcy, chairman, and
each scene received a great deal
of applause,
Oil March 4th the class of '23
did "some stunting" in their
" Closc-tip of Inauguration," an
original play composed by Dorothy
Dangremond.
Four appropriate
scenes showing periods in the life
of the "man
of
the
day" were portrayed Ii3r clever actors and actresses.
In the first scene we were transported lo the nominating convention. No one would deny that the
"green derby" and the "lapel
bouquc'ts " of the delegates had a
momentous influence on the convention. A modern air was created
in the session by the presence of a
"feminine rosebud." Cox and his
one adherent made an impression,
but Harding's man was the hit.
The convention atoned for its pasit
evils by preserving the ancient refinement of the Greek style o,f voting.
In the second scene we were acquainted with the joys of a presidential campaign. Even "Delia"
began to pity the harassed Harding.
However, the president's
problems are all solved when he accepts Mary O'Callahan as secretary of state,
In the third scene President and
Mrs. Harding are enjoying their
vacation at Palm Beach. We feel
sure that the "solicitous wife" will
prevent the President from too
strenuous appliance to cither golf
or federal affairs, However, he has
a relapse upon hearing from the
paper that his caddie for the past
weeks was found out to be Cox,
who (in a crazy frenzy) had resorted to caddying for his rival
candidate.
Inauguration Day was depicted
in the final scene. The band, the
cabinet, dignified as well as undignified friends, the old maid, and the
lease and even Delia were all there.
TON-, though mentally deranged,
did his share by selling "extras."
During the parade the wife of the
President, as befitting one of her importance, was drawn about by
coach and four. The judge so impressed Harding that he not only
kissed the " Bible," but read his
favorite passages, The inaugural
sneech was voted a great success,
but the. crowd could say with Harding, "Darned if I know, do you?"
The stunt made a decided hit,

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
MYSKANIA
SORORITIES AND
FRATERNITIES
One of the most important steps
in the development of student
spirit and power was the organization in March, 1917, of a student
council.
The purpose of the council is to
serve as a means of communication
between the students and the faculty. It is an honorary body, composed of not more than twelve nor
less than ten senior members who
have won places of prominence in
scholarship, athletics or other college activities, and who have capacity for leadership, Three of the
members are elected by secret ballot
in student assembly. This provision became effective for the first
time last year.
The president of the senior class
becomes a member ex-officio, if lie
is not one before election to the
class presidency.
Some of the duties and privileges
of the student council arc: To have
seats upon the platform at student
assemblies; to govern inter-class
contests, other than athletic; to administer the rules governing the
various competitions for offices; to
administer the college customs; to
control fraternity and sorority practices; to call the freshman class
meeting for electing officers; to govern all class elections; and to make
recommendations to the student assembly.
The 1921 members are: Katherine
Ball, Alida Ballagh, Reginald
Bruce, Theodore Cassavant, Mary
Grahn, Maurice Hathorn, Harriet
Holmes, Hugo Polt, Marjorie Potter, Florence E. Stanbro, William
Strain, Katherine Wansboro, and
Mary Whish.
State College has seven sororities
and three fraternities for the promotion of good fellowship and
friendship. They contribute to the
social life of the college; the sororities by holding an "annual intersorority tea, an intersorority party,
an intersorority ball In the spring,
and individual sorority dances, and
the fraternities by holding annual
dances.
The sororities furnish
something of dormitory life, since
all but one maintain houses. The
fraternities gave up their houses
during the war. However, one is
now maintained on the campus.
Membership to the sororities is
by invitation and is restricted by a
certain scholarship standard established by Intersorority Council.
The names of the sororities and
fraternities, together with their
presidents* dates of founding and
the locations of the Houses, are as
follows:
Delta Omega, 1890; president,

1917 for the purpose of preserving
to the Episcopalians in State College those principals and doctrines
for which the Episcopal Church
has stood through the ages. The
three-fold purpose of the club, that
of Spirituality, Service and Sociability, has been most carefully
worked out by an executive committee under the guidance of the
Rev. Frank Creighton, club advisor,
This year Canterbury was officially recognized as a unit of the
National Student Council of the
Episcopal Church on April 18 by
a personal visitation of the Rev.
Paul Micou, national president,
The club will be represented for
the first time at the annual collegi-
SPANISH CLUB
CHEMISTRY CLUB
The Chemistry Club was founded
December 13, 1912, its purpose being to promote the spirit of chemical research. It is now the oldest
existing club in college and constantly adding to its activities.
Last year it essayed to publish a
paper, "The Harmone," which
proved so successful that it has
been _ enthusiastically continued.
Chemical literature of every type,
serious or funny, is published, to
the extent of four or five times a
year in this paper,
The club itself holds its regular
meetings the second Friday afternoon and the last Wednesday evening of every month, At these
meetings reports arc made on current magazines, and papers are
submitted by the members. The
papers this year have been: "Uses
of Waste," "The Concentration of
the Hydrogen Ion," "Artificial Flavorings," and "Antiseptics," and
two illustrated talks on " Sugars "
and " Birds." But more popular
even than these formal meetings
are the informal ones held in the
spring and fall, the spring being the
time of the " Chem Club Picnic,"
and the fall, that of the big initiation and dance.
At this initiation those people arc
taken into the club who are taking
advanced chemistry courses and desire to join and those who though
still unadvanced who are willing to
present a paper before the club as a
token of their desire and ability to
join.
A special event staged hy the
club this year is the "All Chem
Mystery for Alchemistry," a big
chemical show and dance. The

educate our taste for recreation,
The sort of thing that a person
likes to do for pleasure signifies the
nature of his ideals. Music Club
wants to help develop in the students of State the appreciation of
good music literature, and dramatics.
To join the club a student must
pay twenty-five cents and signify
his willingness to take part in the
meetings if possible.

THE COLLEGE
ORCHESTRA
The College Orchestra was

junior class of '21 was instrumental
in this act, having appropriated
money for this purpose.
Dr. Thompson, a professor in the
English Department and choirmaster and organist at the Firs't
Presbyterian Church of the city, was
director of the orchestra. After
practicing regularly every week the
orchestra favored us with music
on Moving-up Day and at the
Dramatics and Art play in June,
Everyone was very much satisfied
with it and encouraged those who
played to keep up with t'heir good
work.

because the faculty and upperclassmen are so anxious to make the

THE COLLEGE
CAFETERIA
One of the largest unci most important parts ol State t ollege is
tne Milne High School, which is
housed on the third Moor uf the
main building, This school is a
model practice school in which
seniors of the college do practice
teaching fur at least one seiiics'ler.
The model school gives a twoyear Junior High School course,
followed by a regular four-year
Kegents High School course, The
faculty of the school consists
its principal, John M, Sayles, seven
critics or supervisors of practice
teaching— Miss Charlotte Loeb,
Miss Elizabeth Shaver, Miss Lydia
Johnson, Miss Helen Kelso, Miss
Bessie Harris and Mr. lulw. Long

Physical

methods in leaching are appfi
with great success.
The standard of iVIIIne High
School is very high. Each year a
number of State scholarships given
to Albany County are won by ils
graduates, in competition with
those of several large high schools
in the county. Oral credit is given
to the school, and the English department is certified, so that credit
is given 'to each student for literature read, and he is required to
answer only the grammar and composition divisions of the Regents'
examinations.
In addition to giving seniors an
opportunity for doing practical
work in the teaching profession
before leaving college, the school
offers a splendid opportunity for
making up entrance conditions, 11

From a Student's Point of View
VVhile the college lunch room is
maintained as a field for student
practice, lunch' room planning,
cooking, serving and accounting
in the Home Economies Department, it has also as its purpose the
accommodation of the faculty and
student body of State College,
This is done by serving regularly,
live days a week, a noon-day luncheon, Laboratory products from
the class in foods arc from time to
time used as a supply to the menu,
thus furnishing a practical outlet
for the class work. Combined with
this, are the efficient services of
the regular lunch room force which
result in appetizing and reasonably
priced products. Everyone must
have noticed the attention that has
been paid in regard to the attractiveness of the room itself which
is well arranged and lighted,
blowers add to 'llie air of hospitality and welcome that pervades,
Our lunch room is an index to
the principles for which the Home

DRAMATICS A N D ART
ASSOCIATION
COLLEGE HONORS
The regulations governing the
system of College Honors appear in
the college catalogue and read as
follows:
"The faculty shall designate for
honors each year those students of
the senior class completing the requirements for graduation who
have maintained a notably high
standing in their studies.
" Method of Designation. In determining the number of students
to be designated for honors, the
registrar shall compute the standing of each eligible candidate by
counting four points for every
semester hour in which he receives
credit with a grade of A, three
points for B, two for C, and one
for D; and shall then divide the
total number of points thus secured
by the total number of semester
hours included in the calculation.
Only those candidates who attain
an average standing upon this basis
of at least .159 shall be designated
for honors.
"Announcement. The names of
all honor students, in alphabetical
order, shall be printed upon the
commencement program and in the
college catalogue each year."
Fearful Struggle
They were discussing llie war.
" I suppose 'this is the most fearful
struggle the world has ever seen,"
said the traveling salesman.
"Oh, I don't know," replied the
postmaster, " I once saw two Jew
burglars trying to take money from
a Scotchman."
MOVING-UP DAY
Moving-Up Day is our biggest
annual "All College" Day which
occurs sometime in May. The entire day is given over to the
festivities,
First come the more formal
events in the chapel. Dr. Brubachcr officiates and our entire faculty are seated upon the platform.
At this time a representative from
each
class
speaks — sometimes
formally,
sometimes
otherwise.
Then occur the Moving-Up process
when each class takes the seats
formerly assigned to the preceding
one, the seniors taking those vacated
by the freshmen —- for they are new
and young in a world by themselves.
During this impressive
ceremony I he Moving-Up Day song
is sung.
Next in occurrence is the presenting of pins to the new senior
" N e w s " editors in recognition of
their services. This will become
traditional, the '21 editors having
been the first to receive these pins.
By far the most important event
is when the members of the new
Myskania are announced for the
first time. The old Myskania, one
at a time, descend from their seats
of honor on the platform, march to
the place where 'the selected junior
sits announces the name; pins on
him the purple and gold ribbon, and
leads him to his position upon the
platform.
The seniors then lead the way to
the chapel siteps, forming an aisle
through
which
the
following
classes pass, each class as soon as
it passes through, forming the aisle
along the walk. The old and new
Myskania then pass through the
aisle and lead the way to the planting of the ivy. A feature of last
year's program was the planting of
several itrecs upon the campus, Dr.
Richardson officiating in the dedication ceremony,
Class stunts close the morning activities,
In the afternoon the college walk
to Ridgefield Park for the sports.
There is considerable rivalry in
these contests, and this assures a
truly exciting afternoon. The baseball game closes these events.
In the evening all assemble on
the front steps of the college for
the biggest college sing of the year.
Class song contests arc a special
feature, a prize being awarded the
winning class, Following this a
dance is held on the terrace.
The Dramatics and Art Association was founded in 1919 for the
purpose, of arousing a greater interest in dramatics and the line arts
and of giving the students more
advantages in both these fields.
The payment of the student tax
automatically makes each student a
member of the Association. Thus
it includes practically the entire
student body and insures to evcr3rone an equal share in the benefits
derived, The Association is financed
by an appropriation from the student tax fund.
The control of the organization
rests with the_ Dramatics and Art
Council of nine members, three
faculty members and two students
from each of the upper classes.
The council elects its own officers
and transacts all the business of the
Association.
The events put forth by the
Dramatics and Art Association this
year have attracted much attention,
The big feature was John Drinkwater's lecture here on February 8.
The four one-act plays presented
just before mid-years were of unusual interest. Just a few weeks
ago Miss Futterer read in the college auditorium " Quality Street,"
by James M. Barrie. Every one enjoyed the traveling art exhibition
of copies of some of the paintings
by noted artists. The annual New
York trip was arranged to include
some of the best plays of the season. In addition places of interest
throughout the city were visited.
Preparation is now being made for
the long play to be given in June,
Due to the fact that so much of
the Association's fund has been
used for dramatic purposes, the. art
side of the Association is planning
to save its energies until next year
when art will be emphasized.
Two men were discussing us to
what Noah did to pass away the
time on board the Ark. " I guess
he did a good deal of fishing,'' suggested the ardent angler.
But someone is always ready
with a wet blanket. "He couldn't
do much fishing with only two
worms," was the retort,

1916, when the Class of 1918 presented as its stunt an allegory,
the object of which was to show
the advantages of the introduction
into college life of a weekly newspaper. This idea happily coincided
with a plan of Dr. Brubacher's, and
as a result the president of 1918,
Alfred E. Dedicke, was authorized
to publish a college weekly. The
first issue of the " News " was published October 4, 1916.
With
autumn, 1917, came a great change,
when the financial worries of the
paper were vanished with the appearance of the student tax,
The following constitution was
adopted by Myskania:
1. The "State College News" is
the weekly newspaper of the college, devoted to the publication of
announcements, the record of college events, and the discussion of
college interests.
a. The publication of the " News "
shall be in control of a board of
editors, composed of an editor-inchief, a managing editor, a business
manager, a subscription manager,
two assistant business managers,
associate editors, and reporters.
b, The editors shall be selected
by a competition open to all members of the -college,
c, Those students who are competing for editorial appointments
shall be designated
Reporters."
Until appointed editors, they shall
have no vote in determining the
conduct of the paper.
d. The competition shall be conducted as follows:
1, Students of all classes may
offer themselves as candidates by
submitting their names to the
pins, erasers and stamps to stationery, memory books, pennants and
banners. The stock is continually
being enlarged until wc sometimes
•wonder into what sort of a department store our little shop is going

last fall, more or less as an experiment, but within two weeks it had
so well proved its need and worth
that wc knew that it had come to
stay, and now wc wonder how we
ever got along without it through
all these years.
editor-in-chief early in the first
semester of each year. A request
for candidates will be printed at
that time in the " News,"
2. Candidates will then be assigned to do specified work; those
who wish to compete for business
managership under the direction of
the business manager, and the
others under the direction of the
managing editor.
3. In May of each year at least
five of the- sophomores will be
chosen, on a strict basis of merit,
to permanent positions as associate
editors — provided, however, that at
no time shall the board contain
more than five seniors, six juniors,
four sophomores, and four freshmen.
4. .From the associate editors,
who are members of the junior
class, the editor-in-chief, the managing editor, the business manager,
and the subscription manager will
be chosen each year by vote of the
editorial board.
5. From the associate editors,
who are members of the sophomore
class, the assistant business managers will be chosen in May of each
year by a similar vote.
6. Choice in each case will be determined by the records of service
for the paper.
7. Records of service rendered bv
each individual of their staff will
be kept each year by the editor-inchief, the managing editor, and the
business manager, according to a
system of points which they together shall determine.
8. These records will be preserved by the board from year to
year.
e. The editor-in-chief shall have

f. The managing editor shall have
general supervision of the "makeUp " of the paper, shall direct the
associate editors and the reporters,
plan and assign the work of each
week, and be responsible for the
printing and proof-reading,

managers and those reporters assigned to him by the managing

The " Quarterly" is State College's literary publication. As is
suggested by the name, it comes
out four times during the college
year. Last fall this paper had a
hard fight for its life, but lit came
out victorious. The " Quarterly "
is an addition to the college and
brings here many good exchanges
from other colleges.
The constitution for the "Quarterly" is based purely upon competition and is as follows:

report this to the board at their
annual election in the spring of each
year, with his nominations of new
members based upon this record.
From this list of nominations the
editors shall make their elections.
4. Election to the business managership shall be determined bv the
board of editors, but the business
manager shall nominate for the
position the students who have
offered themselves as candidates
for the position and have assisted
the business manager most efficiently in conducting the finances
of the paper. When no such candidate has presented himself, election

board of editors.
5. The editor-in-chief shall have

FRESHMAN ADVISORS
'
i
One of the recent State College
institutions which deserves especial
praise is the freshman advisor system. This is an arrangement by
which the youngest class in the
college is divided into small groups,
and a member of the faculty is assigned to each group as a special
guardian. This faculty member
acts as a big brother or sister, as
the case may be, and he carefully
considers the welfare of his group
and answers any question or
straightens out any difficulty which
may arise in any branch of college
activity. The advantages of such
an arrangement can readily be seen.
The freshman is made to feel more
at home. He no longer feels like
an outcast, and he has someone on
whom he can depend in case of any
unforeseen trouble.
And the best part about the advisor system is that it has worked.
It is not one of those beautiful
theories that don't amount to anything. In this year's class there
is only one freshman who has not
made the acquaintance of his advisor.
Sigma Nu Kappa Chapter House
SIGMA NU KAPPA
Sigma Nu Kappa is the oldes't
fraternity in State College. Since
its founding in 1913 it has been active in promulgating college spirit
find good fellowship amongst the
men. The alumni of the fraternity
number about 75. About two-thirds
are teaching in colleges and secondary schools throughout the United
States.
During the war practically every
member joined the service, and as a
result Sigma Nu Kappa was at low
ebb during that period. Soon after
the war, however, some of the old
members returned and with new
ones added, the fraternity again began to llourisli. This year the active members undertook the con-
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The Alumni Association of State
College has been very active this
year. Besides the general association we now have four branch associations, the New York City,
Utica, Albany, and Western Associations, the Western branch having been organized this year.
The purpose of the Association
is to make some connection between
State College graduates and their
Alma Mater and to help the college
in any way that it can.
The Alumni Association has
erected in the rotunda a memorial
tablet in honor of the State College
men who lost their lives in the
great war. They were able to do
this through the individual subscriptions of the Alumni. This year
a very excellent "Alumni Quarterly " has been published which has
proved successful in every way. A
geographical file is now being made
of ail State College Alumni, in
which they are classified according
to states and counties. This is in
addition to files according to classes
and alphabetically. Every State
College graduate should become a
member of the Association nearest
him and a subscriber to the "Alumni
Quarterly," which, besides containing many interesting articles, gives
much State College news and forms
a strong connection with college
students and alumni. From the
class of 1921, at least 100 names
should be added to the list of members of the Association.

HOME ECONOMIES
DEPARTMENT
The Home Economics Department was established at State College in September, 1910. As first
given the course was completed in
one year. Since then it lias been
expanded and improved, now covering four years and granting a
Bachelor of Science degree.
The course in clothing includes
plain sewing, dressmaking, textiles,
handiwork, millinery, costume design and history of costume, house
planning and decoration. These
subjects are closely correlated with
the art department.
The courses given in foods consist of selection, preparation and
service of food, microbiology dietetics and nutrition. This work is
correlated with the science department.
This year several new courses
have been given for students who
are not majoring in Home Economics, and have proved very popular and successful.
The Practice House is operated
in connection with the department.
Here the senior students live for
two months, one month each semester, They organize and conduct all
the household activities under the
supervision of one of the teachers
of the department.
The college cafeteria is another
part of the Home Economics equipment. It provides a practical outlet
for cookery class products and
gives practice in lunch room management, at the same time furnishing good and economical meals for
college students.
The dressmaking shop on Central
Avenue is used as a laboratory for
the dressmaking and costume designing classes. It is well equipped
with foot and power machines, cutting and work tables and a fitting
room. All types of work are done
for children and adults, from alteration and reconstruction to the construction of new garments.
About a fifteen-minute walk
across the park from college is the
II. E. dormitory, Syddum Hall,
housing twenty-five ^ girls.
The
house is under the direct supervision of the department, one of the
faculty living with the girls as house
mother. This dormitory was the
first to be set up in connection with
college and has proved a decided
success,
Although the purpose of the department is to train teachers, it
places its graduates in many other
fields of work, Many graduates
have been successful in laboratory
and hospital work, cafeteria and
lunch room management, and designing and dress-shop work.

CLOTHING
DEMONSTRATION
A demonstration of clothing construction for children was given in
the window of W. M. Whitney &
Co, on Saturday, April 2, from 2 to
5 p. m. The aim was to show
simple and suitable clothing designed to give style and satisfaction and to save time, energy and
money in construction,
The demonstration was in two
parts. The cutting was done to
emphasize saving of niatcrial and
time. The second part included
principles of machine work and finishing. The dresses, aprons and
hats worn by the little girls were
made by the State College students
who did the demonstrating, The
students were members of the
clothing department, The children,
Betty Tcmpany, Ann Graff, Fredcrick Graff, were brought from
Schenectady by Miss Ann Tempany, of State College, to be the
models for the occasion, Both the
students and cildrcn did their parts
excellently, and made the window
demonstration a success.
The event at W. M. Whitney &
Co. was the culmination of an interesting study of clothing design,
given under the direction of Miss
Grace P. Gillett, head of the home
economics department, and Miss
Anna Randolph Keim, instructor.
At first, a visit was made to the Albany Orphan Asylum where, thru
the cooperation of Mr. Breeze, the
students met the children, and selected different types for which to
plan dresses. A trip to the Whitney store, as a class group, gave the
opportunity to choose wisely the
materials and accessories for these
garments, which the store furnished. At every step, the busy
mother and homemaker was considered, and in the construction
short cuts, without loss of wearing
satisfaction, vvere used. The garments are to be given to the Albany Orphan Asylum.
Such a plan as this is used to advantage by colleges and merchants
in large cities, that thru the cooperation of the merchant, the students specializing in the clothing
subjects in home economics may
have a realization of the real problems of the homemaker. In their
specialiation, the hope is to make
clothing design and construction an
interesting and easier part of the
home duties. To get in touch with
the points involved, it is necessary
for the student to know and work
for real children, considering the attractive and practical type of garment.
The senior students at
State College for Teachers vvere
given this opportunity thru the assistance of Mr. Whitney and Mr,
Breeze. The value of the use of
such educational principles was
satisfactorily demonstrated to the
public on Saturday.
COMMERCIAL
DEPARTMENT
To the yonng man or woman
looking forward to teaching as their
life work, the commercial department in pur college offers unusual
opportunities. Since its organization about seven years ago, the demand for its graduates has greatly
exceeded the supply. Secondary
school principals and superintendents are constaitly asking for college trained commercial teachers,
with the result that many of the
most lucrative positions in the high
schools of the state are to be had
by teachers qualifying in this field
of education.
The course in Commercial Education consists of elementary and

advanced accounting, commercial
geography, commercial law, elementary
statistics,
economics,
money and banking, stenography,
and typewriting. Pupils completing this course are able not only
to teach, but arc qualified to hold
positions in commercial and secretarial work in the business office.
The courses in accounting are designed to prepare for courses that
qualify for examinations in the field
of higher accountancy.
In addition to the regular college
work, ample opportunity is offered
for practical application of business principles in the business office of the college and the Milne
High School. The work in the
busines office is most helpful, as
actual office conditions and problems arc met with and solved. In
the Milne High School, classes in
bookkeeping, typewriting, and stenography
afford
the practice
teacher the necessary experience in
teaching commercial subjects.
ART DEPARTMENT
The Art Department of State
College has been very active during the past year. Its influence has
been felt about college in many
ways. One of the biggest things
which it has done for us this year
was to help bring the excellent art
exhibit here which everyone enjoyed so much a few weeks ago.
The trip ito New York this year
took place at the beginning of the
spring vacation, when a study was
made of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art and many other places of
artistic interest.
The courses given in this department include The History of
Ancient and Medieval Art and Art
Appreciation. These are open to all
students and form a valuable supplement to any course. Classes arc
given in design and representation,
and in the use of pencil sketching,
pen and ink, charcoal and watercoloring. These classes have been
of the greatest benefit to the college, for dozens of posters have
been made for various happenings
in college and most of the Pedagogue cuts have been made by art
students. The art department is
therefore considered one of vital
importance, not only to those
within it, but also to the entire college.

" One Thousand Years A g o "
To Be Played — Charming Chinese Drama by Percy
MacKaye
Here is something more to look
forward to along with Moving-Up
Day and examinations. May 26
the Dramatics and Art Association presents the Dramatics class
in " One Thousand Years Ago,"
by Percy MacKaye. The play is a
charming story of ancient China_—
" Ohina where all the world lies
a-drcam, and the place of our
dreams is eternal." Under the able
direction of Miss Agnes Futtercr,
the cast has been chosen and rehearsals arc already well under
way. The role of Turandottc, the
Chinese princess, will be taken by
Marjorie Potter and those who saw
her sympathetic interpretation of
the While Faced Girl in the "Will
o' tlic Wisp" will look forward to
seeing her work in the atmosphere
of China and dreams. The part
of her lover, Coly, Prince of Asbrakan, will be taken by Margaret
Kirtland whose ability and force of
feeling in dramatic work is well
known to the student body. The
part of Cappocomico, leader of the
band of Italian players who wander
thru China, will be handled by
Miss Helen Leonard. Miss Leonard
is a newcomer to State College
dramatics but has had extensive experience in productions in Vassar
College, Her characterization^ of
Capocomico is distinct and pleasing.

TRIUMPHS OVER
ST. STEPHEN'S
.State opened the baseball season
yesterday by scoring an 8-7 win
over St. Stephen's, " J a c k " Johnson pitched effective ball in spite
of the moist weather, and allowed
only ten scattered hits, while State
nicked Caldwell and Wolfert for
eleven safe ones. Six^ times the
St. Stephen's lads whiffed, when
Jack cut iloose some real stuff, and
eight times the valiant sluggers for
State retired on strikes.
The game started between showers with State in the field. St.
Stephen squeezed otic man across
the home plate in that first inning.
After that both sides drew blanks
until the last of the fourth, when
McClucr singled to right, went to
second on a passed ball, and
crossed the plate for State's first
tally on Dobris' 'hit. Dobris followed over with the second and
after a long struggle State let two
more die on base. St, Stephen's
came back with one, on a passed
ball, and State came back after
some more. Ted Cassavant reached
first safely, and landed on third
when Bliss slammed the ball for
two, McClucr came up with horseshoes in his pocket, went to strike
at one, slipped, threw the bat at it,
and when the melee was over stood
on the second sack while Cassic
and Bliss counted one: each. State
kept after the pill until three more
had tallied, then gave way to St.
Stephen's. Nothing loath the Annandale lads got next to Jack and
the score read 7-4 when State came
in and scored her last one. In the
seventh St. Stephen's worked three
men across, while State was
blanked, hi the eighth neither side
counted, hut in their half of the
ninth, St. Stephen's flew the danger
signal with a man on second and
third and only one out. Jack settled down and struck out one big
boy. The next one popped up in
front of the plate and iVfcCluer and
Johnson ran together. The ball
dropped, but Johnson dove for it,
made an impossible throw and
caught St. Stephen's asleep at third,
and it was all over.

BASEBALL PANS —
ATTENTION!
State won her first game Saturday, but the team's pleasure at winning was considerably dampened,
not so much by the intermittent
showers as by the realization that
the visiting team had more loyal
fans with them than turned out for
State. We grant that the weather
was sufficiently uncertain to justify
grave doubts as to the probability
of the game being played, yet it
would seem that it were no more
difficult or laborious for the fans to
turn out than it was for the players
to get into togs and brave the
weather. So wfiat must the visiting
team have thought of the spirit at
State College? To the handful of
loyal fans who were at the game
we arc grateful, for they saved us
the ignominy of having to announce
that State College was playing.
Even so, the question is still stinging in our cars, Where are your
banners, your yells, yotir crazy mob
of fans, that arc evidence indisputable of a real
spirit of loyalty to
college and1 the team?

In the .meantime, do you realize
what our men arc doing? Usually
rushing to Bcverwyck Park or the
Albany High gym, practicing hard
for two or three hours, not eating
until eight o'clock, and spending a
considerable amount of their time
studying so that they can retain the
privilege of defending State College.
Unromantic, perhaps, but good,
hard work, and deserving of our
loyal support. Did it ever occur to
you, oh, foolish virgins, that fortytwo men do more to make this a
real college than five hundred girls?
Athletics are having a struggle
at State College. Shall we let them
starve to death from lack of support—or lend them a hand and a
voice? The boys aren't ashamed
that they're playing for a bunch of
girl rooters, so long as these girls
are sincere and loyal. Our aim at
all times is the same—'the glory of
State College, Girls, show yourselves to be good sports, and be
manly!

Don't let She heading, "baseball
fans," keep you from reading the
above editorial. W e think it's a
good one for all of us, especially
for us "girls." Do you think it's a
bit unfair or unjust that the boys
should ask us for our support?
"Of course not," you'll say; and
that's just the point — you'll say
and never get beyond the saying,
Why is it that girls are such
enormously big " talkers " and such
unbelievably small "doers"? We
stand around in attractive ginghamed groups, and "collcgiately "
express our desire for State College
to grow in size and magnificence,
and then, just to show that we
know all about "colleges and
things," we throw in little asides
about the Deks and the D U's,
Union (although we generally
choose one farther away — it's
safer) and the other colleges, as far
as we can remember their names.
Sometimes we vaguely wonder why
we grovv so slowly, but we usually
give it up. It's quite an unfathomable question.
