EDUCATION WORTH WHILE
"Is education worth all the study,
worry, and work that it is costing
me?." The dejected freshman may.
Well ask this question. Years ago, a
girl was considered educated if. she
had finished Grammar School. Wasn't
she trained well enough? Wasn't she
as successful in life as many of our
college graduates of to-day? At first
thought wc might say "yes," but if we
really think far enough, wc will come
to the conclusion that she lacked very
much. One can learn just for the sake
of knowing.
This is selfishness.
One can learn because it is required
of him. This is indifference, But the
one who learns that he may help
others to get a better appreciation and
fuller knowledge of the life worth
while, is grasping the real object of
his existence. A teacher has the opportunity to do this. A girl who goes
to State College prepares herself to
come in contact with, and to help
mould countless young minds, thus
adopting for her motto "Sapicntia non
sua sed docendi causa."
We often hear men and women say
that their lives have been greatly influenced by a former teacher. That

A memorable concert rendered even

given by Ossip Gabrilowitsch under
the auspices of the Music Association
in Chancellor's Hall, Friday evening,
December 12,
Thci famous pianist captivated the
entire house by his masterly rendition
of a program which included numbers
from .Handel, Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, and his own compositions. Preliminary to each of several
selections, his comments on the works
of the great masters and their interpretation were instructive as well as
thoroughly enjoyable.
The entire program was characterized by the strength and brilliancy of
Gabrilowitsch's technical perfection
and by the beauty of his interpretation.
The Beethoven sonata, Op. 27, No. 2,
was given superbly and proved to be
one of the most popular numbers.
The Chopin ballade, nocturne, and

STORY OF STATE
Part 2
Yesterday, eighty years ago, State
College opened its doors to New York
State's students. Yesterday, in 1844,
its first class matriculated. How this
and other early classes lived and
worked is an important phase of the
mass of facts surrounding the college's
history.
It will be remembered from last
week's article that after years of agitation New York had voted a normal
school and what preparations for its
beginning had been made. When the
day came for opening exercises, De-'
cember 18, 1844, twenty-nine students
were there. Most of them were from
the Hudson and Mohawk valleys but
some came from farther away. Up
State street they came to what is now
Van Vcchten Hall and on the third
floor where Beaumann's Dancing
Academy is to-day they discovered
their school and their principal, David
Page, and the little faculty. They met
the first board of trustees and they
attended the opening "exercises."
Principal Page made a speech and
Colonel
Young
made
another.
Colonel Young, who was president of
the trustees, said that he believed that
nobody there realized how much the
occasion signified and that few would
attempt to say to what heights the
school would grow.
That same day, for they wasted no
time, the first classes were begun.
The twenty-nine pupils, forebears of
