Looking To The Future
October 4, 1916 found a war-torn Europe
entering a third year of struggle with a militant Germany triumphant on all fighting
fronts attempting to strike a final blow which
would end the conflagration victoriously. That
date found a nervous, uneasy United States
preparing to select a president, maneuvering
to keep itself out of armed conflict, attempting to enlarge its armed forces, and slowly
converting its peacetime industry into wartime readiness.
On October 4, 1916 appeared Volume 1,
Number 1 of the NEWS. The newspaper
came to a student body whose membership
was decreasing as its members dropped out
to enter industry and the armed forces. It
came to a student population whose interests
fluctuated between classwork and war news.
The paper was read by a State College student body which looked to the future with
uncertainty.
Under such conditions was the NEWS born
and under such conditions does the NEWS
celebrate its silver anniversary tomorrow—
exactly twenty-five years after the appearance of the first issue. Once again we find a
student body war conscious, decreasing in
enrollment, and distressed by a war-torn
Europe.
Surprisingly enough, the comparison between the student body of twenty-five years
ago and today does not stop with the prevalent frame of mind. During those war years
of struggle and uncertainty, State College
history shows that students made the greatest gains and progress in the evolution of
student organizations. The student association developed into one of the most liberal
organizations of its type, Myskania was organized, the NEWS became one of the few
college newspapers granted freedom from
faculty censorship of material published, and
numerous other organizations were founded
to fulfill needs of a leading teachers' college.
The growth of the NEWS itself is indicative of the trend through those years. It
weathered the storm of depression years,
expanded during boom times, tided over criticisms from numerous sources and raised
itself to the position of leader in student
activity, molder of student opinion, pacer of
student progress, champion for student causes, historian of State College. It has been instrumental in creating a better impression
of the college amongst the general public.
State College's student body stands again
in the midst of uncertainty and opportunity.
It must distinguish between privileges and
rights and must accept the responsibilities of
each. Like the NEWS, the student body is
celebrating another birthday but has not as
yet attained its full maturity. A Student
Union, a College Quadrangle, a college athletic field, education for the care of present
facilities, reorganization of present activities
and procedures,—the future possibilities are
limitless. Much is yet to be done!

far as it is able. For this week, we'll
concentrate on Professor Lang, new
member of the English Department.
Professor Varley Lang has come
to us after serving three years as
instructor at John Hopkins. He became a professor through the process of elimination, since he first
started as an engineer.
"I don't approve of hobbies," he
says a bit defiantly, though he admits to a fondness for writing poetry and short stories. He likes Albany very much, as well as State.
"I'm not used to so many skirts—
that's nice," he confesses shyly, and
mentions that his bad habit of addressing classes as "Gentlemen"
will soon be overcome.
However, Professor Lang seems to
feel that his great-grandfather
makes better copy than himself,
and it must be admitted that StepLoe Demerit Hut is worthy of any
writer's attention. Steptoe Demerit
Hut, yes, that Is his name, was a
Virginian, suh, and a hard-drlnkin'
man. He also owned a very notable
horse. When Mr. Hut had finished
an evening of tippling, he climbed
on his horse, and thought no more.
The horse then proceeded directly
to the ancestral plantation, up tho
front stops of the house, into tho
parlor, and stopped In front of
the sofa, at which point Mr. Hut
climbed off and wont to sleep, and
the horse returned to the stable.
Would that thero wore more of Unit
mighty breed I Mr. Hut had another
claim to fame In that he never
worked a day In his life, even after
tho Civil War left him only a truckload of Confederate bank-notes.
Professor Lang is justly proud of
his great-grandfather, but It should
be mentioned that for so young a
man the degree of Doctor of Philosophy is something to be proud of.
However, the Professor makes light
of this accomplishment, and merely
starts talking about Steptoe Demerit
Hut again . . .
we can predict
confidently that State College won't
take Professor Lang and his accomplishments as lightly.
— R o y SommersLife at State is shifting rapidly
into second gear. By Thanksgiving
things ought to be fairly under motion. By Christmas students will be
getting down to brass tacks. By New
Year's they'll be turning over new
leaves, and during the last few
weeks of January we may even see
a bit of stooging.
Meanwhile—the

is Activities Day. Once again our
fete-fettered Prosh will find themselves crushed to our collective bosom as the splendors of our extracurricular program are unrolled before their enraptured gaze. An organization for every need—an activity for every talent—a club for
every interest—State College has

State College Chess Team today I
Enjoy the thrills of a player In all
the comfort of a spectator. State
boasts no football team, but we do
have chess.
I recall a .stirring little poem on
this .subject. It's an ancient little
ditty handed down through generations of State College chessmen,
Wo called it the "Alma Check-Mater," and as near us I remember It
ran something like this:
Oh let's cheer for the Chessmen —
They're giving their all
In this nerve-wracking, brain-taxing,
Sedent'ry brawl.
Every eye to a board
Is transfixed in u stare;
Not a player but sits
On the edge of his chair.
There's a spectator murmuring,
"This game's too slow."
It's a lie I I Someone moved
Just ton minutes ago.
Now we view with alarm
An impending disaster;
The white king has termites;
They'll have to play faster,
Oh let's cheer for the Chessmen.
An oxcollent c h o r d Let us cheer for the Chessmen,
But please—not too loud I
In the second term of Franklin, the king of the land,
a father sent one of his daughters in search of the
Higher Education.
And he took her to his bosom and he spake thus unto
her; My daughter, thou hast reached the time when
thou must leave the home of thy fathers.
Thou leavest that thou might enrich thy mind; go
thou, and sit at the feet of thy teachers to hear their
words; nor waste thy time in frivolous pursuits.
And so it came to pass that she left the house of her
father and the side of her mother; and she traveled
far and long; and she came unto the Institution of
Higher Knowledge.
She spake unto the students that had been there
before her, and she said: I am come to sit at the feet
of those who teach; lead me among them for I am
eager to start.
And they said: Come with us; we shall lead you.
And she went among them; but they took her not
unto the feet of the teachers and the dispensers of
wisdom, but they brought her first to learn of the
Social Life; and she was dismayed.
Thou shalt not divert me from my true purpose, she
spake unto them; and she left the livers of the Social
Life.
Now it was the custom in those days for the neophytes of learning to attach themselves unto one of
the many tribes of Hellenes who made their homes
there; and so that each might attach himself to the
right group, the members of the tribes made mighty
and unceasing efforts.
And this newly-arrived daughter was possessed of
both beauty and a capacity for knowledge; and the
daughters of the Hellenes gathered around her in
mighty numbers, and each of them spake unto her,
saying:
Entreat me not to leave thee, for whither thou goest,
I shall go; and thy friends shall be my friends; and
my tribe shall be thy tribe; and no rival tribe shall
part us, even unto death.
But the daughter listened not unto them, but she
rose saying: I look for the dispensers of wisdom; entreat me not to stay with thee, nor follow after me;
And so saying, she left to seek the feet of the dispensers of wisdom.
Now it came to pass that the young men of the
land heard of her plenteous beauty; and they came
in numbers as multitudinous as the creatures of the
air and the land and the sea; and they spake unto
her, saying; thy wish shall be our command, and thy
desire our task; give us but thy presence and thy smile.
But she frowned upon them and she said: Begone,
for I seek the teachers that I may listen to them; I
see that there is no wisdom to be found here; for
here there is nought but pleasure.
And the young men went away in droves; and they
wrote her down in their books as a drip.
And, unhindered, she went down unto the dispensers
of wisdom, and she sat at their feet.
And four springs followed each other; and at the
end of that time, the gowned graybeards came to her
and spake, saying: Upon receipt of five talents, we
will deliver unto you a parchment testifying that you
have assimilated all the knowledge which hath been
afforded you.
And she paid the five talents; and she took the
parchment; and bearing it in her hand, she traveled
the road to the home of her fathers' fathers.
And her father spake unto her, saying:
Tell me, my daughter, what hast thou learned?
And the daughter began lengthily and accurately to
recount the many things which had entered into her
mind; but they fell upon the ears of her father and
filled thorn with boredom.
And the father listened long; and then his patience
overcame him; and he spake unto her, saying:
My daughter, these things are to be found in any
book; what hast thou learned that is not on the
printed page?
And the daughter was silent.
And a great grief fell on the old man; and walling,
he beat his head upon the walls, crying:
Oh unfortunate man, thou hast erred; thou hast
made thy daughter a parrot; yea, know thee that now
she is not a woman, for she has neither the grace nor
the charm nor the talents nor the wiles of a woman;
she hath but tho words of a book.
And he wailed disconsolately; but his daughter saw
him not, for she was busying herself reciting the things
she had learned that they might be fresh in her mind,
and not fade away from disuse.
Moral: More Is learned out of books than from them,
F l f i t N i f h t e n — Some of the members of Oberlin College's freshman class look
for their belongings after their first ordeal by the sophomores. Shoes and pajamas first
cast away on the athletic field were laterreturned well knotted for freshman scrutiny
in the M e n s Building lobby.

HENDERSON
iK
October 4, 1916 found a war-torn Europe
entering a third year of struggle with a milit a n t Germany t r i u m p h a n t on all fighting
fronts a t t e m p t i n g to strike a final blow which
would end the conflagration victoriously. T h a t
date found a nervous, uneasy United S t a t e s
preparing to select a president, maneuvering
to keep itself out of armed conflict, a t t e m p t ing to enlarge its armed forces, and slowly
converting its peacetime industry into wartime readiness.
On October 4, 1916 appeared Volume 1,
Number 1 of the N E W S . The newspaper
came to a student body whose membership
was decreasing as its members dropped out
to enter industry and the armed forces. It
came to a student population whose interests
fluctuated between classwork and war news.
The paper was read by a State College student body which looked to the future with
uncertainty.
Under such conditions was the N E W S born
and under such conditions does the N E W S
celebrate its silver anniversary tomorrow—
exactly twenty-five years after the appearance of the first issue. Once again we find a
student body war conscious, decreasing in
enrollment, and distressed by a war-torn
Europe.
Surprisingly enough, the comparison between the student body of twenty-five y e a r s I
ago and today does not stop with the prevalent frame of mind. During those war years |
of struggle and uncertainty, S t a t e College!

To study, collect, band, and observe the habits of strange southern birds, members of
the Cornell University — Carleton College Ornithological Expedition invaded the
heart of the Mexican mountain country, a bird paradise south of the Tropic of Lancer.
For three months Dr. George M . Sutton of Cornell, Dr. O . S. Pettingill, Jr., Carleton
College, and students Robert Lea and Dwain Warner conducted their survey, cut o»
from the world except for weekly trips to the little town of El Monte for food and mail.
Each member of the expedition helped in the general collection and preparation of bird AWWCM Cunuow
specimens, and in addition, pursued a project of his own.
T h e y ' r e S o u n d tp M a k e a n Impression — These pretty Washington State College Kappa Delts believe that one way to interest
Cledges is to have a spic-and-span house. Betty Pierce, Janet Oswalt,
ois Zimmerman, and Maedeane Kelly shine up the stair rail
Bad f t Coach Confers W H h T o a m W o t * — Under the Harry Stuhldreher modification of
the Notre Dame system, the quarterback is boss of the team, so the former pilot of the famous

Midway in orientation week the whirl of sorority rush
activities began. Lorajean had "rushes" from three of
the eight sororities at the outset, by week's end was on
virtually all the lists.
Blind dates are part and parcel of the first week on
campus. Here she says goodnight at the door of the
Women's Residence Hall which will be her home
for some time.
Lora/ean decided that she would like to be pledged to the
oldest sorority on the campus, Alpha. When she found she
had been accepted she made merry in the favorite campus
hangout with her future sisters.
There still remained the formality of getting into college. After signing her,
name to nearly a score of blanks and filling out repetitious data for nearly an
hour, Lorajean stands in line with others of the 500 new students.

Famous Piano Team
State College Music Association
will present Fray and Bragiotti, internationally famous duo pianists, in
the auditorium of Albany High
School on Wednesday, October 15.
The team was formed eleven years
ago in Paris with the purpose of interpreting all types of music
through the medium of two pianos.
In spite of their classical training in the French Conservatory,
they have a deep respect for swingmusic and point out that popular
music may be the foundation of the
great symphonies of tomorrow.
They were among the first musicians to bring humor into the concert hall by their Yankee Doodle
Variations which is a take-off on
the styles of great masters.
The entire program will consist of
original transcriptions ranging from
Bach and Wagner to George Gershwin.
Tickets may be obtained in exchange for student tax. A table will
be set up in front of the girls' locker
room for that purpose.

Wolner Now Principal
STATE COLLEGE N E W S —
The committee on publishing a weekly newspaper respectfully
submits to you this, the first issue of the STATE COLLEGE NEWS, opening thus, we believe, a new chapter in the history of State College.
To the many who have been entirely unaware of the coming of this
journal and to those who do not clearly understand its mission we
direct this message.
This great United States of ours was once a small nation. With
a steadily increasing population the boundaries of civilization were
gradually extended, until at last the Republic reached from ocean
to ocean. But the growth of the nation presented a possible danger,
a danger that was threatening the very life of our contry—the
danger of a crumbling nationalism, the danger of a growing sectionalism,the clanger, therefore, of a country divided, of a nation falling
apart.
Then, almost at the crisis, in the march of progress came influences that revolutionized the whole political and economic status
of the Republic. The rails of the railroads and the wires of the
telegraph and telephone were stretched across the fields, the hills,
and the rivers of the land, from the East to the West, from the
North to the South. These bands of metal bound together the
extremes of the country, one with the other, making the hetrogeneity, into which the nation had grown, a solid unit. These
modern agencies of communication brought the millions of our
country into direct touch with one another—made the whole nation
a single political and industrial family.
This great State College of ours was once a small College. With
a steadily increasing number of students, courses and activities were
gradually extended, until today the boundaries of the student-life
inclose stretches from the Chemistry Club to the Promethean
Literary society, from the athletic field to the auditorium, from the
library to the gymnasium, from the senior to the freshman and so
on, from one extreme to the other, touching upon scores of independent groups, each with a different interest and none visibly connected with another. The close observer must discover now the
presence of that same threatening danger in our student-life which
history shows to have once existed in the United States—a decided
trend toward sectionalism and away from centralization. We have
by no means reached a crisis, but there is a great need for some
means by which there can be brought to bear upon our student body
a similar influence to that which is being exerted upon the nation
by the railroads, the telegraph and the telephone. There has
arisen a need for a means of bringing each extreme of our student
life into direct touch with the other, of making this hetrogeneity
into which we have grown a solid unit, a single collegiate family.
What better means than a newspaper, such as the STATE COLLEGE
NKWS to achieve the desired results?
In it will be pictured with insistent regularity and in installments
quickly following one another, the history of each unit of our college
life. In its columns you will feel the pulse beat of the student body.
It will be as a mirror standing at an angle into which a body peering
will not see his own, but rather the image of another.
Thus do we launch this journal on its course, with every confidence
that it fills a long felt want and that its policy:
To make each faction of our student organization know and appreciate all others, to uphold the maintenance of fraternal regard
and friendly rivalry among all, to work for cooperation between
all sections and for the solidification of the now separately wasted
energies in the promotion of a real, distinct, and enthusiastic spirit
of loyalty to State College, will in time do much toward placing the
record of our achievements outside of the classroom on a plane in
keeping with our standing as America's leading teachers college.
(Signed) The Committee of the Class of 1918, on Publishing a
W e e k l y College Newspaper, Alfred E. Dedicke, Chairman
Charter Staff
Member Tells
Story of NEWS
"The present members of the staff
of the STATE COLLEGE NEWS have it
pretty easy compared to the way the
members of the first staff had It."
These were the words spoken at an
interview with Mrs. Amos Prescott,
175 Whitehall Road, Albany. Mrs.
Prescott is the former Lillian Magilton, '18, staff member of the first
NEWS.
The idea of a State College newspaper was born on Moving-Up Day,
May 4, 1916. At this time, in their
class stunt, the class of 1918 presented an allegorical charade called
"A Student's Dream." Written by
Alfred Dedicke, '18, the play expressed the idea that the perfect venture would be the creation of a college newspaper. Dr. Abram Brubacher, then President of the college, was very much impressed with
the skit and called Dedicke the next
day. Dr. Brubacher said that he had
also considered the creation of a
newspaper and that he was willing
to help Dedicke undertake it.
At that time there was no student
tax, and the main problem facing
the students was a financial one.
Dedicke, together with Miss Magilton, found that the cost of one issue would be approximately $38.
At a class meeting on June 2,
which Dr. Brubacher attended, a
committee was appointed with Dedicke as chairman for the purpose
of issuing a newspaper.
The
name

COLLEGE
NEWS
was chosen principally because of its
briefness, and the first issue a p peared on Friday, October 4, 1916.
The venture was financed with
the sale of subscriptions which sold
for $1.50 a year. Advertisements
were not solicited for the first few
issues. Dr. Harry W. Hastings was
of great assistance from the start
as an advLsor; and instead of the
large, spacious office which the
NEWS now occupies, the small room
beneath the steps in Draper (now
used as a mimeograph room) was
used.
Mrs. Prescott visited the new offices of the NEWS recently and was
favorably impressed by what she
saw: the enlarged offices, the organization, and issues of the NEWS.

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3,1941
State Campus Expands to Accompany Continuous Enrollment Growth
Original Buildings Include
Draper, Hutted, Hawley;
Others Additions Since '27
In 1916 they had a State College,
but they didn't have Page or Richardson or Milne, SCT then consisted only of Draper which housed the
administration offices, the library,
and classrooms; Husted, the science
building; and Hawley, the auditorium and gymnasium. The college
enrollment grew and by 1916, the
auditorium was crammed every
week—there was no library for
"studying"—a schedule of empty
classrooms was published and students spent their free periods in
one of these.
Extensive Planning: in 1919
In 1919 the planning of three new
buildings began. They stood completed in 1927, A faculty committee
suggested naming the new science
and home economics hall, Richardson, the practice school, Milne,
and the auditorium with gymnasium
beneath Page. In 1929, the first class
day program was held in Page Hall.
