Each Grade Mark.

On Wednesday morning. Dr. Armstrong announced in chapel that the
Lock Haven State Teachers College
had been given an " A " rating by the
American Association of Teachers
Colleges. This is the highest possible
rating to be given to a Teachers College and when we consider that the
classification is made on a comparative basis with the other Teachers
Colleges all over the United States,
we realize the magnitude of this
honor.
Dr. Minnick Inspects College.
Dr. Armstrong stated that Dr. Minnick, v.'ho was 1 visitor at c"T Collers
last fall, had been called here to
classify our College. He brought with
him a long and detailed report which
had been previously submitted by the
College to the American Association
of Teachers Colleges. This report
was a guide for his inspection and
he checked on all the items which
were contained in the report, which
included every possible phase of condition affecting Teacher Training for
public schools.
Entrance Requirements High.
The first requirement of a Teachers College is that it be a four-year
institution which grants degrees.
This requirement having been satisfied. Dr. Minnick began to analyze
the College from every possible angle.
He took into consideration the college entrance requirements and as no
one is admitted to our College without being a first class high school
graduate, this was very much in our
favor. Next, the students' grades
were cheeked and the standard for
graduation considered. The preparation of the Faculty was also included
in the complete report that Dr. Minnick submitted to the Committee of

A new system of scholarship ratings and honor points has been adopted at Lock Haven S. T. C. in order to
raise the standards of scholarship and
maintain the high standing which this
college has always enjoyed. The new
system will go into effect September
2, 1930. In brief it is as follows:
Scholarship Ratings.

cards and on the students' permanent
records will be indicated by letters
according to the following marking
scheme:

80 per cent, to 89 per cent.
C. Average accomplishment—70
per cent, to 79 per cent.
D.
Inferior accomplishment—60

E . Failure, requiring repetition
of course.
I.

work is incomplete but may be
brought to passing standard
by complying with conditions
prescribed by the instructor in
charge of the course.
A mark of "Incomplete" in any
course must be made up and the passing grade recorded in the office NOT
LATER than the middle of the following semester, otherwise the mark
of incomplete will be marked as

NEW TRAINING SCHOOL NEARLY COMPLETED

THREE STUDENTS CHOSEN AS
NEV/ TRAINING SCHOOL TO BE
COMMENCEMENT SPEAKERS
READY FOR SUMMER SESSION

The award of highest honors in the
graduating class has recently been
made with the announcement of the
names of the three student speakers
for the college commencement exercises of May, 1930. These awards
are made entirely on the basis of
scholarship standing throughout the
work done in the entire course. One
-:tudent, from the graduates, is chosen from each main field of work in
tho curricula offered by the college,
to represent his particular group on
the comniencement program.
Elizabeth Kittleberger has been
;'hosen as the highest ranking Senior
of the Group I two-year course. Miss
Kittleberger, whose excellent voice
has made her musical talent well
known in many college activities, is
president of the Y. W. C. A. She is
a graduate of Curwensville High
School. As representative of the
Group II two-year class, Marion
Puckey is awarded truly deserved
honors as a flne student, who came to
Lock Haven two years ago as a graduate of Altoona High.
Samuel Long, who will appear as
speaker from the College Group,
graduated from Williamsport High
School. His varied interests and abilities leave a record of personality
prominent upon L. H. T. C. campus
from the time of his entrance upon
his college course. Mr. Long holds
the presidency of the Y. M. C. A. and

students, alumni and other persons
interested in our College will be glad
to learn that work on the new Training School building is progressing so
"iiidly that it is altogether probable
Uiat it will be ready for use at the
time of the opening of the Summer
Session, June 16.
This beautiful and strictly modern
building will, when completed, have
cost approximately $200,000.00 and
is equipped with the most complete
and up-to-date heating and ventilating system available. The ventilation is so constructed that fresh air
fiom outside, will be heated and forced into the rooms.
Special Observation Room.
A number of interesting and convenient features are included in the
class room arrangements. For instance, a speeial demonstration room
in whieh the rows of seats are arranged in ascending order, has been
provided. This will eliminate much
of the congestion that is likely to take
place with a large number of observers in a regular class room. Also,
each class room has been provided
with an adjoining office or conference
room for the supervisor, and a special room for teaching retarded pupils.
This attractive new building, added to our already beautiful campus,
will make Lock Haven one of the
most beautiful and well equipped
Teachers Colleges in the state.

The feeling of being rated as an
" A " student in a course is something
to be proud of, especially when there
are a few hundred or more other students almost as good.
The world
looks bright and prosperous and a
feeling of conquering anything is acquired.
That same sensation has come over
this college as it has been recently
announced that the Lock Haven State
Teachers College was given an "A"
rating by the American Association
of Teachers Colleges. Hundreds of
Teachers Colleges all over the United
States were examined and rated and
Lock Haven was found to be in the
highest group.
All people in any way connected
with this college are proud of the rating and with the new improvements
on the campus it looks as though
there is a great future in store. Even
this year the enrollment has increased immensely and under the new ruling that no one will be admitted without being a graduate of a first class
high school, it will be proven that the
highest type of students will attend.
Graduation
brings
excitement,
thrills, presents and sorrow and to a
few people it brings a great honor.
That honor, is having the highest
scholastic standing of your group.
There is nothing else that could be
given to take the place of this privilege, the granting of which means

In order that a student may be eligible for graduation from any curriculum, the total number of quality
points attained must equal or exceed
the total number of semester hours
of credit accepted for graduation.
This means that in Groups I and II,
where 68 semester hours of work are
required, a total of at least 68 quality
points must be earned by the candidate before he will be graduated. In
the four-year college course where
136 semester hours of work are required, a total of at least 136 quality
points must be earned for graduation.
If a student has, at the end of any
semester, earned less than one half
as many quality points as he is taking semester hours of work, he is asked to withdraw from the college and
may not be reinstated until at least
one semester has elapsed. The fol.owing hypothetical cases will illustrate this. Students 1, 2, 3 and 4

COLLEGE TIMES
DR. PIKE COMMENCES HIS
ANNUAL SERIES OF LECTURES
On Wednesday, March 26, at 3:20,
Dr. Pike, noted psychologist from
Danville, delivered the first of a series of most interesting psychology
lectures.
Dr. Pike's first discussion was on
the unconscious mind, a matter of
much discussion and divided opinion
on the part of psychologists. In a
most interesting manner he gave us
to understand that the mind had a
definite structural foundation, whose
history was not made in one or two
hundred years, but is the cultural development of man for five hundred
thousand years.
Compares Mind to Page.
Dr. Pike does not like to think of
the human brain as a blank paper, as
some psychologists do, but rather like
a leaf of a book, under which are
pages, black with indelible markings,
which are the product of man's development through five hundred thousand years. These characteristics and
tendencies
like
self-preservation,
adaptation, sex, religious and social
instincts are the background for the
child's development into worthwhile
men and women. Conflict between
these instinctive tendencies creates
desires, some of which must be repressed.
Repression of these desires is not
last in mental machines, but is pushed back into unconsciousness, which
is often the cause of mental disease.
Dr. Pike illustrated this fact, in the
case of the woman, who when marrying at the age of nineteen, gave up
her faith and consented to not rearing her children in that faith. However, there came the time in her life
of which Dr. Pike spoke, when the repressed practice of her Catholic faith
preyed on her mind and almost resulted in the ruination of her life.
Psycho-Analytical Field.
The Psycho-analytical field with
which Dr. Pike is very familiar, is
frequently discussed by persons who
may be well-informed, but who certainly are not capable of imparting
the knowledge—particularly the discussion of sex topies. The publishing
of bad, cheap literature, dwelling on
this topic fall into the hands of young
people poisoning their minds, creating desires for the lower ideals.
Dr. Pike illustrated the presence of
this literature by the fact that while
on a train, he found five copies of a
book, which was refused publication
in England and France, and had finally been censored by the United
States—in the possession of young
women who were literally devouring
it.
The idea that repression of sexual
desires is probably the cause of many
mental diseases, is proved false by
the investigation and reports at State
hospitals. Hence in order to make
our lives worthwhile these tendencies
and instincts of ours must be sublimated—that is, they must be converted from lower levels to the high level which benefits humanity.
This
may be illustrated in the case of curiosity, which on the low level leads
to "back yard gossip" and when sublimated may result in the production
of a scientist. Dr. Pike closed his ad-
