PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
Fellow Alumnus:
O f course Class Day, Alumni Reunion, and Commencement are
things of the past but their memories linger with us— and they
are pleasant ones. The weather man made a comprise with -us
by giving us a pleasant, bright, clear day for Class Day and
Alumni Exercises,..'but he resigned the reins (this pun was really
unintentional) to ;|upiterhRhivius on Sunday night and Monday
morning. Consequently Baccalaureate Services and Commence­
ment were anything but dry.
The Class Day program was unusually good; ailj: the speakers
spoke clearly and distinctly so that the '.|||rge out-of-doors
assemblage had no difficulty in hearing them. W e have had larger
turnouts at the Alumni Reunion, but what the group lacked in
numbers it made up in enthusiasm. O f course the program was
preceded by the proce§|ion. Forty-three classes were represented.
The addresses were exceptionally good, short, humorous and to
the point. Some of the class reunions were wellSatbfinded, but
taken as a whole, the attendance at these functions; w a p not
nearly as large as usual.
• Many of the Alumni expressed the opinion that thE| large
attendance,,of Alumni on Home Coming Day and the various
impromptu reunions that featured that event led to a falling off in

2

T he T eachers C ollege H erald

attendance at the June exercises. JgjjNs’ssifelj they are correct in their
judgment, but we cannot help expressing the hope that the falling
off in attendance at the June exercises may be but temporary
and that next year may witnep^one .o;f the largest gatherings
in the history of the Alumni. The ¿{tendance on Home Coming
Day last fall was most gratifying and the massed Alumni
testified their devotion to their Alma Matée in no uncertain
tones. But Home Coming Day cannot take the place of Alumni
Day with its;' Class Reunions and its get-to-gether spirit. Let us
all plan for a big Alumni Day in 1929.
The Summer Se|||on of six weeks is now well under way— and
we are agreeably suprised at the number enrolled.
W e had every reason to anticipate a falling off in attendance.
The fact that no high school graduates without teaching experience
can isfecur^ certificates Jly ’ attending thj® Summer Session cut off
at least one hundred and fifty from our registration. Then, too,
nineg| per c e á | o f the teachers in our service area hold Standard,
.Normal or College certificates.
To our surprise, our attendance isfbnly seventeen below that
of.j^ R ^ jfear. ït | j| | most gratifying to®note ; that the large
en||llment is due to the presence o f so many of the graduate's,
of the two and three year courses: who have begun work on the
four year coursé|j|: The increased enrollment of this group oyer
that :of last year is almost seventy-five per cent and it is more
than double that of two years ago.
In a previous issue of the Herald, we noted the improvements and
additions to our plant that will' be; made as- speedily as possible
after the conclusion of the Summer Session. These involve
the complete renovation of the kitchen and its equipment with
thoroughly modern cooking equipment, the erection of an
extension to the Women’s Dormitory with fire., tower, lavatories,
rl|É frootns, R-ítc- ThÉ| change will make it possible for usv td
provide rooming accommodations: Tor eighteen more students:;
W e expect to ¿secure’ the additional land necessary for the
location of the library and recitation" hall. W ork will undoubtedly
be started upon thisfjbuilding within the next year.
¿ ’Jjot only '¡igè we able to record these -évidences .of material
prosperity but we are glad to record the presence of an increasingly
fine student body. p T h e four year course with its collegiate degree
appeals to a large body of young men and women.
Our graduates in thisjcourse had no difficulty inlilecuring
excellent positions in Junior and Senior High Schools. W e shall
continue to offer the tw ^ yearg courses as it meets a necessary
need in the elementary schools.
A t thisgwriting we have rooms; itf our dormijh.ries for fewer
than twenty additional students. One of the interesting features
of our enrollment is the increased attendance of men. W e shall

3 ™ 8 T eachers C ollege H erald

provide rooms in private homes located near the college for the
students that we cannot accomodate in our campus dormitories*
W e appreciate the splendid .support that you fellow members of
the' Alumni have given your Alma Mater. W e bespeak your
continued cooperation in making our work still more effective.
Fraternally yours, ...
E zra L eh m an , ’89.

IT WAS FORTY YEARS AGO
( This is the fourth article that has appeared in the columns of
the Herald under the abmie caption. Theyf&tobeg number will
contain a fifth, which will deal with the experience of the student
teacher in the Model S'chhol.ffjl
Forty years ago the “organization craze” had not struck normal
schools— or indeed any other scholastic institutions. W e had not
heard the phrase “ extra-curricular activities” and if it had reached
our eafs we would not have understood its meaning. There
were no dramatic, arts, and crafts, country life, debating, mathe­
matics or similar clubs. The two literary societies engrossed
the attention of the students and incidentally of the faculty. A s
the number of students at no time exceeded three hundred, it was
possible for a student to know fairly intimately every other student.
There were no moving pictures, automobile rides, no football
or basketball games—-or indeed any extra-curricular distractions
other than the literary societies. So they were the-“ Big Show”
features of school life,
W e have'spoken in an earlier number o f the Herald of the
canvassing; for members by the adherents of the white and blue
ribboners, of the verbal attacks made upon the qualities of the
programs of the opposing societies, o f theHuestion whether the
girls- of Normal were or were not better looking than those of
Philo and whether the boys, of Philo were ort were not more
intelligent than those of Normal. (It is interesting to note that
forty years ago general intelligence on the part of members of
an organization seemed to be a desirable asset.)
In this paper we ar&TesS concerned with those rivalries than
with the type of programs presented by the societies. A s we
write, we have before us a number of the programs of both
organizations. If imitation be the sinceresjl form of flattery,
both societies flattered each other, for the programs resemble
each other as: closely as. two- peas in a pod.
The acme of perfection had in the judgement of the program
committees, evidently been attained for there was little variety
and practically no change in the type of programs presented
from week to week, fflhis is a sample program of both organiza-

tions “ Calling to order by the President, Reading of Minutes
by Secretary, Music by the Glee Club,; Referred Questions—
“ What are the Seven Wonders of the W orld?” “ Who Closed
every speech with the expression, ‘Carthage must bepdêstroyed- ?” '
(Possibly these were the forerunners of “ Ask me another” ),
Recitation (or “ essay” or “ reading” ) by-HH Piano Solo by— ,
Debate, “ Resolved, that the assassination of Juiius Caesar was
justifiable” or “Resolved, that thé South haf| a right to secede
from the Union” or “ Resolved, that Grant was an abler general
than Lee.” There were usually two affirmative , and two négative
debaters. The judges, ¿three in number, were chosen from the
student body arid cast their ballots at the close of the debate
without corisultation.
Then followed" “ General Debate” and if this feature of the
program was .’‘‘dispensed with” it was regarded as a sign of “lack
of interest in the work of the Society.” Sometimes, these debates
were really -spirited and though the arguments advanced would
cause a good natured smile to-day, it must not be forgotten that
many a man (and woman) prominentSSbusiness or professional
life bears testimony to the value of this training, haphazzard
though it was.
ï® h e n followed music by the willing, if not highly trained, Glee
Club. But now came the most interesting part of the program,
“ Miscellaneous Business;”« For here it was that new riames were
proposed for membership and a worker would rise and announce:
“ I take great pleasure in proposing the name of Mary Jackson
as a true and active memberpf (Normal or Philo) Literary Society
and ask that she be accepted as !'§uch.” . And no one was ever
rejected for a roundQof applause bore testimony to; the fact that
the motion had passed unanimously.
“ Critic’s Remarks” were usually m oreljaudatory than critical
for the critic usually commended wherever possible. Criticisms
were usually confined to aÿ’statement, that ‘‘the recitation would
probably have- been improved if the speaker had been able to
put more time to its .preparation.” “ General Criticisms” were
frequently omitted, but occasionally some récalcitrant member of
the society used the opportunity to castigate verbally the “powers
that be (or w ere)” in the- Society. A t times, such criticisms were
really constructive and exerted a beneficial influence in toning
up and improving the work of the Society. With adjournment
there was a rush on the part of the boys to town for the
regulations required that all students be in their rooms when the
“ten-ten” & ,ë ll rang. Old graduates delight to recount their
experiences in coming up the fire escapes after all lights were
out and the teacher-proctor fiiad made his rounds.
A s we l|dk 'back over the programs of the literary societies,■we realize how crude much o f the work was, but many men and

women still recall th C lh rifflo f their iftrst experience in hearing
the sound of their own voices, years ago, in the big chapel,
“the little Chapel” and the “ Model School.”

CLASS DAY EXERCISES
Saturday, June 2, 9 :45 A .S p lig
Nature was kind to the graduates and their friends for a
more delightful day could not have been found for out-door
exercises than was Saturday, June 2. The sun, was warm enough
to take all the dampness out qf the air and a fine breeze
prevented the day from being too hot for comfort.
To the music of the College 'Band, directed by the student
leader, Qeorge Light, the two, three, and four year classes
marched to the platform erected on the south side of the campus.
Just at this point we’ll let the New’s-ChronicLe of Shippensburg
tell the story:
The Commencement f e e r c i s e s of the Shippensburg State
Teachers College opened on Saturday morning, june 2, with the
Class Day program. This program was presented on the campus
and was one Of the most entertaining Class DayJjin the history
of the school., Monroe Gobrecht of Hanover, president of the
four year clas|| presided,j while Miss Anna Burkin® Milroy,
occupied the secretary’s chair. It was the fifty-fifth annual affair
o f the'school.
The College Band, which led the students across the campus
and which played two numberslSuring the program, wall conducted
by the student conductor, George Light o f Millersburg. Other
music was furnished by a women’s quartette.
Addresses were made by William Stover, Waynesboro, the
president of the' three year group and by Miss Ruth . Ebersole,
Hummelsto|Vn, president of the tw d jy ea r group, i t f . Stover
spoke forcefully on You Have It-^Usejjptt,” his main points
being:. Every man should ^succeed ; if he fails he doeflso only
because he does -not use the talents that have been given him.
Miss Ebersole talkedgm “The Educational Value of Athletics,”
she urged the importance of athletics in the form ative'stage of
citizenship. Rogér Mówery, Quincy, in the Clafs Oration “ Going
F orw ard^ chosé as the three essentials to progress’' vision,
enthusiasm and cheerfulness. .Miss Mildred Basehore, Mifflintown’

in the life of each class group. The Last W ill and Testament
o f the Class of 1928, in which the graduating group disposed
o f their mdst valued?$i|sfessions, was read by MÍ;s| Mary Heiges,
Y ork; Miss Heiges displayed a pleasing combination of humor
and' seriousness-, Harold Gottshall, Harrisburg, in behalf of the

Following the class song the audience moved to the portion of
the campus before Lehman Hall, where Miss McFarland, Everett,
planted the Chjjlf; Ivy and delivered in a most forceful manner;;
the “ Ivy Oration.’L The program concluded with the singing of
the Alma Mater.

ALUMNI PROCESSION AND RALLY
Saturday, June 2, 1:30 P. M.
There have been larger Alumni procesfsions than that which
fell, in line behind the College Band at 1 ¡30, but if the procession
lacked numbers, it did n o lfkck enthusiasm. Though many classes
were not represented by large numbers," the actual number of
classes in line was larger than usual.
The'Rally was unusually'good. It is no disparagement of those
who have spoken on previous occasions to say that the speeches
this year were the best that have been heard by an Alumni
audiehce for years. They were p o rt, “p ep p fl’ humorous,P and
enthusiastic. Space does not permit comment on the individual
numbers of the program, but all the speakers proved themselves
masters and deserved the applause that they received.
The program was as »follows:
President’s AddresIBFrank Lehman, M.D., ’98, Bristol, Pa.
Address of Welcome— Ezra Hehman, ’89, Shippensburg, Pa.
Address— Roy M. Taylor, ’03, Shippensburg, Pa.
Address— Earl H. Schaeffer, ’08, Camp Hill, Pa.
Address— Jo Hays. T8, State College, Pa.
Report of Executive Committee.
Alma Mater
A t the. conclusion' o f his address, JMr. Schaeffer, after reading
a series of resolutions passed by his, class): pledging their earnest
and most enthusiastic ¡¡support to Principle Lehman and the
faculty, announced that his class had doubled the sum previously
set apart by his. c la p af|a yearly prize to 'the student having the
highest average at graduation.
The Executive Committee nominated the following officers for
the ensuing y e a r : President, Lenus A . Carl, M. D., ’99, Newport,
Pa.; Vice-President, Supt. Ralph Jacoby, ’09, Carlisle, Pa.;
Secretary, M rs, Mulford Stough, -07, Catlisle, P a l Treasurer,
Hon. Quinn T. Mickey;- ’83, Shi||jbensburg, Pa. They were
unanimously elected. The class of ’28 was admitted to member'
ship in the organization.

BASEBALL GAME
jfefSaturday, June 2, 4:00 P. M.
The game this year was between the hard-hitting Juniata Y . M.
C. A. team well known in railroad circles and the local college
nine. A s the college season had ended two weeks previously, the
locals were Out of practice and two of the regular members Of
the team were not available.
For the first six innings it seemed likely that our boys would
experience their first defeat of the season on the home grounds.
Sands, the leftShandedBuniata pitcher, had.' a delivery that our
boys were unableMtò solve and though Taylor was pitching a
splendid game, the breaks had been with the visitors and the
score stood 4-2. in their favor— and there seemed little doubt as
to the1 result. But those who left E ó r dinner or to catch the
evening trains missed a reahjseventh..inning rally for our boys
solved Sand’s delivery in that inning and pushed across four
runs. T o show that this performance was not an accident, they
added seven more in the eighth. A s the Juniata team went out in
order in thè iast three innings, the score was 13-4 in favor of the
locals. It was a big day for Bob Luse as he had four hits out
of four times at bat. Gotwa.lt came next with three hits— one a
three bagger stretched into a home run. Taylor held the Juniata
men to five hits.

ALUMNI PLAY
Saturday, June 2, 8«©o P. M-.
W e are again indebted“ to the News-Chronicle this time for
its account of the Alumni Play.
Play Presented
“ The Patsy,” B arry Conner’s three act comedy, was the play
presented by Shippensburg State Teachers College students before
the student and alumni .bodies on Saturday evening, June 2.
Equal honor might., be given to Miss ’Pauline Workman, Miss
Isabelle. ¡Rider and Harold. Gottshall. Miss Workman,, as the
tearful and quarrelsome Mrs. Harrington, did an exceptional fine
bit oji". acting. Miss Rider made., a particularly charming and
appealing Patricia Harrington and Mr. Gottshall played a Tony
Anderson that made Patricia’s five years of devotion to her here
entirely convincing. Monroe Gobrecht, Miss Virginia Davis and
John Serif also deserve special notice forftheilfi; acting. Mr.
Gobrecht combined the bluster, the humor and the fineness of Mr.
Harrington in a manner rather more convincing that interpreta-

tions of the Harrington Qfferedfefy more experienced actors. ^ Miss
David as Grace Harrington yielded to the actress’ temptation to
soften her presentation; interpreting a character without charm
was a new role for Miss; Davis as she carried it through with, credit.
Mr. Serff played Billy Calwcll as an impetuous, charming youth
ready to dash into matrimony with Grace w ithout' the slighest
notion of the .Mags the game held for him. The minor parts- of
Sadie Buchanan, Francis Patrick O’Flaherty and “ Trip” Busty
playe’d by Miss Mary Heiges, Augustus Dewalt and Stanley Gibbs,
were all done with a nautralness and care for detail that assured
the success.,of the

BACCALAUREATE SERVICES
Sunday, June 3, 8:00 P. M.
Never were more impressive baccalaureate Services held in the
Auditorium than were those of Sunday evening, June 3. A heavy
thunder storm precedecjgthe opening and it is, likely that many
who Would otherwise haveiSbeen present were deterred from
coming. But the Auditorium was, filled a half hourkbefore eight
o’clock.
The,class led by Principal Lehman, Dr. Bagnell and the ministers
of the town marched in to the slow solemnly impressive Gregorian
processional hymn “Integer V itae” which was chanted by the
students.
V-VThe program was as follow s:
Processional Hymn— “ Integer Vitae”— Senior Class .
Invocation— Rev, T. Me. Polk
Doxology— (Congregation, standing)
Chorus— “Were.. You There”—^Ifegro Spiritual arranged by

Dr. Bagnell’s sermon was« a masterpiece of exposition and
oratory. His theme was “ Personality in the World of .Tomorrow.”
The rostrum was deeply banked with cut flowers and potted plants.
The "Setting thus*produced was beautiful and effective.

COMMENCEMENT
.Monday,.Ju.ne’.;^,9 ¡30 A. M.
A pouring rain ushereipin Monday, June 4, and there was no
let up Jas the hour for the Commencement exercibb§|approached.
The parents and friends of the graduates, however, filled the
Chapel to overflowing. Promptly at 9 ¡30 thejiprocession moved
with the faculty in academic robe and hood leading. The gradu­
ating class occupied seats on the rostrum. A fter the invocation
by Rev. W . W . Barkley a chorus sang “A Hope Carol.” Mr.
Charles Fitz of Waynesboro, an honor studenf of the two year
class, in a delightfully whimsical essay pointed out the necessity
of “hobbies” for schobl teachers and suggested various possible
“ hobbies or avocations, if you prefer parade terms.'’’ "
W illiam 'Stover also of Waynesboro was the next speaker, an
honor student of the three year class. His subject was “The
Rouble Advance.”;.*,1 He developed the theme* Ihat there must be
progress along ethical as well as material lines in both national
and individual life.
William Dubbs o f Shippensburg rendered a fine piano solo and
Miss Mary Heilman of Shippensburg, honor student in the four
year .class, gave two well-chosen readings, “The Falconer of
God” and “A. Farewell.”
The last of the literary numbers-was an honor essay by Janet
L ew is!o f Goatesville, a graduate of the two year group. Her
subgdt w « M o w i » g the'C row d .” She stressed the present
need of leadership. I f America is to continue, to progress; her
leaders must; possess initiative, self-reliance and courage.
A fter another chorus, “ M oon b eam s,from Victor Herbert; Dr.
Lehman delivered the Commencement Address. His theme was
“ Testing and Measuring.”
He spoke as follows:
Members of the Graduating Classes, Ladies and Gentlemen:
For the fifteenth time it isj;my. privilege to Address the young
men and women of this institution on the occasion of their
graduation. In the years, that have passed I chose for my themes
matters that seemed pertinentEgven important, but as .1 fe’ok back
over those addresS6|^I realize how trite— how outworn, the senti­
ments therein expressed would sound today. Even assuming that
there was at least a fair degree of ^Sincerity. and a modicum of
truth in what w a | then . averted, I shall be the first to .admit

T he T eachers C ollege H erald

ii

that these themes would not now challenge the attention of men
and women in general or of the members ofithe graduating class
in particular. The poet was right when 'he,; sang: “Time makes
ancient good uncouth; They must upward; still and; onward Who
would keep abreast th||truth.”
My prSflem then was t^ fin d a theme that' would deal, with
modern conditions as these young men and women will find them
in a very modern world:-— A world that in spite (A its S ta y o r
Thompson’s and other shibboleth making politicians, is .seeking to
know th^f truth and ;tl|| realize that a liberal education means
freedom from supersititiohp ignorance and prejudice. . These
graduates are trained for a specific job. It will not.be theirs to
go into the marts o f trade and direct!; the m &em ents o f the
world’s bti'siness and commerce, and yet they will be expected to
train the generation whose business! it will be to manage the
nation^finances.
• ¿They will not go into the "shops, the mines, >or the fields and
fabricate, delve or toil that latent energy may become potential,
and yet it will be theirs so to direct the natural abilities of the
boys and girls that they may become skilled artisans and laborers.
They will not for the most part'rspeak through t h | 'y | | ! | o r
from the pulpit on civic 'and moral questions and ^ 5 they will
control the men and women o f the fourth epate and thosefwho
will Stahls as guardians of our moral andffijjigious life at a time
when nerve energy is most easily directed into habife} of ©ought
and conduct. But the world for which these men and women will
train its¿citizenry §§:•riot the world with |$pch the faculties; o f our
schools and collegdli .are best acquainted— the past generat||n;
nor is itgiexcept to a minor extent, that in which these young
men and womefif w ill-live during the nejkt. twenty y ea r|S § p | fe
instead, that era that stretffheJp|st *§ little Heyond their p tep n t
horizon1: they'w ill, we trust, enter into-¿and enjoy it, be able to
adapt themselves to its' new and changed demands,; but the utmost
that can be granted to those of us who have parsed life’s meridian
is a Pisgah like view of . ip a s the shadows gro w , longer"fgward
the western ..horizon.
My f r i e h t l K l have no desire to indulge iff high flown stjphomoricflariguage on this oceasiOfifiand g | I return to my .'first cast
thought— W hat theme ;canJB |elect that :£j;n an occasion such as
this will challenge these men and women of the- graduating classes,
to -fr keener analysis of their problems as they ¿take up their
life yvprk and what can I p a y to yp.Uy their |j|arent% jand friends
that may make this last half hour of their college life not entirely
valueless ?
While looking about for a theme, I happened upon a magazine
article plP. Commander Byrd in which he tried; to answerBhe
questions as to the. qualifications that he sought in the men whom

12

T he T aechers C ollege H erald

he selected for his antarctic expedition. He: set forth clearly the
characteristics that make for success in the dash into the unknown,
life— challenging regions of the world.
Just about the same ¿time I was privileged to be one of a group
fortunate enough to hear a great captain of industry speak his
mind freely- on the qualities that he and others. of his ilk are
seeking for ih the great manufacturing field that he represents.
He' said in substance, “ I am beginning to feel fed up on ‘efficiency.’
W e are in danger of making it a mechanized system of cost
production, sales distribution, and overhead costs; of- mechaniz­
ing men and women in our employ as well as the machines they
operate. W e have been concerned with dividends and we have
lost sight of the human equation. I am now looking for men
and women with vision and imagination. Vision that will see
a five day|> even a four day week in bur industrial | lf e within
the next ten years and with imagination that will enable them
to put themselves into the places of the operatives, to know in
advance how the non-working hours will’1’be spent,— to realize that
the short week raises a tremendous new social problem,— Industry
cannot shrug its shoulders and murmur, “That is not our concern.^
The speaker did not challenge as he might have with perfect
propriety the greatest economic solvent of the age, the public
schools— and yes— the private, the parochial schools, the colleges,
the universities' of America and ask “ W hat are you doing to
meet the changing economic situations that confront us?”
George Meredith has spoken of a character in one of his novels
“ Who could feel the winds-; of March before they blew.” It is
not difficult to understand that there are three types of men and
women everywhere in every trade and profession. The first class,,
the great majority recognize the winds of March only after
they have blown. These'jive in the past, their thought in religion,
in politics, in business^ in education, in everything is determined
by the past; Their religious beliefs, church membership, attitude
oil moral and political questions are determined by those held by
their parents and grandparents. Truth is a sealed volume to them.
Wej* smile good humorecily at a report of men in the Tennessee
Mountain's who are still voting for Andrew Jackson for President
or who have | | t heard of the great W orld W ar. But are there
not some of us who are. voting for men who bear the label of
Jackson— or Lincoln— simply because they bear those labels!/ I§
it not also possible that though we have heard of the W orld W ar
we have failed to learn its lessons, to realize th a t. whether we
will or not, we are not isolated, free from alliances with, the rest
of the world. In an age of aeroplanes, cables, radio, w ith ‘ our
position as creditor nation to the world, we still quote George
Washington’s farewell address and pride ourselves on being “ One
hundred percent Americans”— whatever that may mean today.

The second class are those who realizf||that the winds of March
are blowing after they have begun to blow- But in reality we arc
often confused- by the rush of the w ind^ w e do' not know from
what quarters it comes, why it is blowing, nor .what it signifies.
Thé only thing we are really sure of is that it is March, not
December or June. W e know that we are in a changed wàld.Youth is not what it . once was. W e’ll agree that for the: most
part the young men and women of this and hundreds of other
graduating classes in our colleges areKrreverent and daring,—
challenging established beliefs and shibboleths; inquisitive, anxious
to taste the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil :
— to know life through active participation in it.
' But we are not all agreed as to whether youth is to be condemned
or éommendeteïor these changed attitudes. W e are not all sure
whether the new freedom and daring are signs of a newer and
better World: or whether they are the miasmatic heat flashes of a
putrid and morally decadent civilization. I f we 'assume thatdfhe
signs-Of the times are bad for Sound morality and the future Of therace we do not know whether to blame the young people them­
selves, or to charge the fault to their parents.
There remains the smallest group, those who have studied
history not as. the record of past- events, but as the key to a
changing world; who have studied psychology, wot as a means of
classifying the varying phases of mental life, but as an explanation
o f human conduct, under the stimulus of passion, desire, or ideals.
These men and Women believe that it is possiblê-^yes, necessary—
.for history to repeat itself, but they know that conditions at no.time in the history of the world will be exactly the same. They
know that as economic conditions change there, will be inevitable
changes in social life. These changes will mean a changed
emphasis on certain facts, in life, on subjects to be studied in
schools, in attitudes toward social questions, toward the value of
seemingly well established social institutions. The family, the
church, state and national Constitutions will b e . scrutinized with
jealous care by those who can feel the "winds of March before
they begin to blow and who will have no occasion to feel alarmed
when the storm comes no matter hôw strong the gale.
My friends, I have no wish to try to speak in parables. I am
anxious to put a few very 'practical questions to these young
people, and I have, tried at I fear almost wearisome length to
present a background before you and them so that the,;,few
challenges I am about to put to them may , stand out the more
distinctly.
I.
have tried to stress the fact that the big thing in life today
from both the social and the economic standpoint is to be pre­
pared for the job that lies ahead— and that no standardized method

o f preparation: no matter how efficient it may have been in the
past is likely to meet modern needs.
Theite men and women have completed'Jfwo, three, and four
year courses. Splrey will receive certificates and diplomas: indicat­
ing that they are, qualified to teach primary, intermediate; or rural
grades, or in flunior or Senior High Schools. They “have been
tested and measured t6f>ascertain their fitness for the Hob they
are seeking and yet we realize that all will not be alikensuccessful
in their chosen fields. Some, we trust, will pass speedily to the
head pj: the j ’column and*':will in. -due time receive a -.captain’s
commission. Time will speedily point out with unerring finger
those, w ho'are destined to command and as certainly, those who
w ill, fail! W'e havefistressed so much in th'esS days the. vaipe of
marked natural ability ;.jghat educators are raising the question
whether any young man or woman with arti'Intelligence Quotient
of.- less than no' should be admitted to our schools and college's:
This is not the time nor the place to discuss the value of natural
ability tejtspas a determining factor in the admission of students
for we are not yet fu.lly:f agreed as to what factp|s|?Should be
considered in making up a students Intelligence Quotient but there
are certain elements that will make Tpr Shccess or failure ,in the
special hne&ypi endeavor.
You, my young friends b f ;, the graduating classes, have a
definitely assigned job ahead of you. ¿fortunately for you, the
world at .‘l arge has .:ch’ai%|fflits point of view as to the nature of
this task. Originally the work to be done was very simple: to
instruct boys and girls so that they might be able to read, to
write: arift to cipher: to read ¿so; that the Bible and the church
catechism could be mastered: to write so as to make/One’s thoughts
known to those who were remote and to do such sums in Arithmetic
as might .enable the head of the family to make certain necessary
computations in buying and selling. Other subjects. were added
¿blithe ffipuis||-df '-study as a real or supposed need; Arose. The
pastor or the sexton —or in many cases the' precentor, or church
musician, wasgSalled upon to give this instruction in connection
with the church catechism.
When church and school were separated the idea was almost
universally prevalent that the only qualifications necessary for
teaching was knowledge of subject matter H in d in many casBjfphe
knowledge of subjeg matter required was so elementary that it
Was little if any in advance of that required.,of the pupil to be
taught. Many a boy and girl attempted to teach American History,
Arithmetic, GeographyjSand other branches without any other
knowledge than that contained in the textbook used in the school.
That day is past—4 iut it is only in the Yery remote pastn|;|or there
is ndfipne within the ¡sound of my voice of even adolescent age
wholdocs not remember it. A few years ago We stressed four

years of high school training as a pre-requisite from the, academic
side with at least eight semester hours of professional preparation
and now in September of this'-year the; State will require the
completion of a four year-high school course and at least two
additional years of profesional training including gtudent
teaching in the public schools under skilled supervision.
W e have gone far within the past ten -years. How far can be
perceived only when we look back to 1918. Then a student in
the eighth grade could legally teach in the public schools without
one hour of professional study or preparation. Now >six # | ¡ ¡ ¡
of preparation beyond the eighth grade. ' Have we gjkie. too■ ,far
or too fast ? The question can be answered only when we compare
our own progress with that of othertístate.s. -We are Second; in
wealth and population among the states of the^uátion. New Y ork
leads us slightly but that state now requires the completion of a
three year professional course in advaif||||of the four year high
school academic requirement. New Jersey, our ..sister state,
requires the .same Qualifications thatpwe.' require, but. pays her
teachers approximately $200.00 more a year for the same;;,Service
under a system of supervision that is a challenge to-our-.own Slate.
A s a result, Pennsylvania loSgsiyearly large numbers o f our Aest
teachels* to New Jersey,*'who have; served their apprentice period
here and are now qualified .tffirender their best service.
The New England states equal, us in scholast|| and professional
requirements, but they have in a d d iS n a -selective system that
requires that, a student shall rank in the upper hal-ti and in one
state in the upper third I l f his class: before! he can h | admitted:
to training for teaching.
But from the far west conics the most advanced demand, Cali­
fornia’s, new re quiremerilMs graduation from a four yeafi course,
with Baccalaureate degree from a teachers college for any position
in the publfc schools with post graduate "Work |®f one year for

be enforced in S u r own State. In fact the tren||teMinevitable,
the more progressive communities1 are-i already asking ffór the
■ four year graduate not only in the Junior and'Senior High Schools
but in the elementary grades' as well.
With these requirements wiwjlpme universally the adoptBn Of.
the single salary schedule, whereby every teacher will be paid the
same salary— as every ,other teacher with, equal successful exper­
ience and academic and professional training. In other words,
we shall pay the high grade primary teacher the|same salary that
we pay the high|§chool instructor '‘With the same qualifications.
When we realize that' in the very nature of things,: a l'ifge

majority o í the children in our public schools will never pass
beyond the. sixth grade, we should recognize how important it is
that the teachers in the lower grades |||ji outstanding men and
women, with broad vision, great sympathy and the finest teaching
ability. Not until we make teaching in the elementary grades
just as attractive financially and socially to the finest young women
of America as we now make it to those in the upper grades, w ill
we give equal educationaiBopportunity tij. ;.th||j children of the
Commonwealth, ñor will; we be able to feel the winds of March
before they blow- in our political and economic life.
Our educational advance has; not .¡been accomplished without
a corresponding increase in cost. W e frankly,.accept the challenge
put to us in a widely circulated pamphlet entitled “ Sanctified
Squander” in which the;'attempt is 1made to. show that money is
being squandered on our public schools, ®|| i s .not our purpose
to deal with the half truths and the misrepresentations in this
and other publications,:' the purpose of which is to prevent
educational opportunity being given at public expense to rich
and poor á|jke. The .children vgf those, who- are. concerned with
these publications will not suffer. Their parents are able to send
them to expensive preparatory schools and colleges, but the children
o f the nine-tenths|%( our people are those who would suffer if
school and college- opportunities at public expense were denied,
them. Let us scrutinize with jealous, care alLvfhe overhead
expenses of our educational system. Let us. see to it that our
tax assessments are fair and equitable, that the cost o f collecting
tax¡¡! be ais low as pcjssible, but let us remember that more
important than even our splendid highway system are the public
schools o f the State,
I f wjKwould economize where shall we begin? Shall we cut
off educationaligpportunity from the,physically defective) the blind,
the deaf and dumb, the maimed?
from the mentally deficient?
A chorus o f
woulffl greet the attempt— for sound business
as welLasl philanthropiC;|9pnsideration demands that these be given
all therfiéducatio.n possible so as to. make them self-supporting
citizens instead of paupers and wards of the Commonwealth.
Shall we deny the best in our educational system to the children
of our farmers and inhabitants of the villages and small towns ?
Shall we make rural life still less attractive and add to the.unrest
and discontent that now is manifest among these men and women
who constitute, the. backbone o f Our civilization? Too long have
the children .of our rural ¡ sections— the deseendents of the finest
blood in our State, played the part of Cinderella in our educational
life. W e must -give these children the same educational opportun­
ity, including Vocational High Schools at their doors, that we
give the children of the foreign immigrant.
Shall we depri ve the 'children of our cities and towns of the

But we are told, by some that': they are not opposed-to the present
organization/iff ■ ■ our'tchool system, but they do oppose the policy
of the State in providing, free tuition to students|in post high
school institutions, . This is- a big question^ It involves the

A n il now, my friends, T have tried t'P. show briefly how big the
job is that lies ahead offlthesë young pefple and soÇÎ^turn to
them in your presence with these final Words o f counsel and
advice.
Young men and women of the graduating classes of 1928: you
are assembled here for the last time as'organized classes. Some of
you will be graduated in the two, Offers in the three and a small
group in the four year classes. But it matters not in what group
vou belong, you are about to be marshalled into the world’s
service and the test to which you will be subjected is this “ A re
you able to do a man’s work or a woman’s 'work in your chosen
field
: ¡ A fter you have taken you place the world will not accept the
fact that some of you have ¡¡¡ad but two years of training as a
reason for your failure tb measure up to the requirement|§of
your position. 'Y o u may urge youth, lack of experience or
vigorous health, but these will be regarded as unfortunate admis­
sions o f weakness if you are forced to plead them as an explanation
for partial or completé failure. Y our communities will "say to
you, “W e are. trusting you With the education and guidance of
pur boys and girls and we have . a right to expect you to be
qualified for your job.” Now I know, that you will make many
mistakes for you will meet unexpected difficulties, and problems
for which no previous training, no matter“ ;H|w long continued,
can adequately prepare you. I wish that you might all be'
■fortunate enough to begin your work under the guidance of an
experienced professionally .trained, sympathetic superintendent or
supervisor, to whom you could go for counsel and encouragement,
j know What such help Would mean to you, how much better

i8

T he T eachers C ollege. H erald

your teaching would be from every point o f mew. So I congratu­
late those of you who have already secured or who may yet secure
positions under such tutelage.
But I knowBhat many of you must begin the job alone, out
among the hills on Rocky Knob or Pine Barrens or other
similarly weirnamed,|©ne-room rural schools; for probably the
first time; , in the history of Pennsylvania there are more than
enough teachers with standard qualifications to fill every position
within its larders* if the applicants1:could be distributed properly.
■ 'Vi wish I could speak to those of you who will fill these positions,
two weeks or three weeks after you have begun your work in
September, as I have the opportunity of speaking to you now. I
know that what I am about to say would mean more— much more
to you then than it can po||ibly mean now. The best that I can
ask. is that yoii. will then, remember this hour. ¡¡SThe novelty of
your position will haye worn off, the lonelinesg’ of the job will
haveEntered into your being, you will have been tried as to your
ability to discipline if your school is large, and if it is small the
backwardness, the lack: of school spirit’, the failure of your first
well, meant effort to interest the people of your community will
have been bornS?h.ome to you. You- will mis-s the social life to
which you have been accustomed— and you may make a social
blunder that will prevent your recognition by those whose help
and encouragement you need.
: ThisSis. the time when yqff- will pass, especially i f . you are a
womaff; through one of the Gethsemane’s S l say it reverently)
of your life. But if you win and ,come out master of yourself—
‘‘Captain of your unconquerable spul.’f ?i Y o u too',;shall bear the
crown— invinctus.
In that hour I am anxious that you shall see very straight, that
you shall realize how large is your job, whether you have seven,
eight or ten or twenty or thirty pupils. You are their teacher,
their director, in loco parentis Yes, but larger even than that;— ■
you havfitraining, opportunity, vision that may have been denied
t|t the^®arents. Will);you feel the j o y l l f mastery? W ill you
enter into, the'lives, of these boys and girlsS-into the homes of
the. parentsBinto the community— no matter how dead and
insensate.-those may seem to be? W ill you sink yourself into the
■ community and so gain richer, more abundant life# for yourself ?
I f youbstand this test and measurement,; you ^effluafified four
■ any job that lies,.ahead of you.
Time, m yiypung friends, will not permit of. my, ,gging into
further analysis of the positions that will open to you. You will
all be tested from three points: of view.
..ffirst ,:SSfchola.stically. You must know what you are expected
to teach. ¿This means that you must continue to be students during
you r entire life time. Them Pgtor ipr the lawyer who ceases to

study, to keep himself informed on new discoveries in medicine
or new judicial 'decisionsjgand new layys. would speedily become
a back number. You will just as certainl-flpg ready for the -.scrap
heap if», you cease/ tp; grow in everything pertaining 'td1 your
profession.
"Secondly:— Professionally, You must keep abreastffihe times.
You must realize that the curriculum is not a dead, static thing, but
.Something to be->revised and changed to meet changing. ;|:pcial
conditions. You must know how to teach, but every B in d copyist
of devices may meet temporarily that requirement/ but you must
know why you teach a subject in one way to the frith grade and
still another way to the eighth. You must know not 'only the
hiStory of education, but its philosophy^its reason-,for ibemgSas
well. You must grow professionally.
Thirdly :—-You must have common -sense, pfacticaMdealiSm, in
meeting the problems of a work-a-day world. The men and
women, the fathers, and mothers of your pupils are for the most
part concerned in making a . livin g:— they have houses, "food, and
clothing to provide for their children: they have never had time;
or opportunity to plan for the. enjoyment of-their leisure, hours.
For them a holiday means the gratification of some physical desire.
You have go m e into their children’3 live|:>;to instruct them in
subject matter, to help them choose the occupationbor profession
for which they a rch est fitted, to open a wider horizon to them
so that they may understand and enjoy their moral and artistic
inheritance. You must have the confidence of parents and children
if you are. to lead them along these paths. It is.at this point that
the need for a combination of common Sense and idealism arises.
Our young people are natural iconoclasts rather than conservators,
of the ideals of the past. They are ready p t .scrap the. teachings/
of the past with all its conventions and moral codes. Here
is where common; sense isH he greatest need on the part of the'
teacher. She must be conservative in dress and behavior, as. long
as such attitude implies no comnwiill with the truth. It may
be morally right for you young women to smoke cigarettes,, to
frequent road houses, to use slangy— not to say profane .language,
but I want to say with all the strength at my commandslthat the
woman teacher who avails herself ofgsuch opportunity isv/a fool
and unfit to hold a position|lwhere example, is-' ten times/Saa
important as precept.
You men and women may not accept the religious, beliefs that
are preached from the pulpits in your communities but until you are
prepared to offer a substitute for the decalogue that will make life
better and happier, common,isense wiljfgdictate that you do not
try to weaken the beli|||§of those; w h « s lill find it a .source of
strength and power. I am absolutely opposed to any law that
wiM prevent a teacher from teaching .what he believgsito be a

great truth whether in physical or social science, but I am just
as much opposed to any young man or woman being allowed to
use his position in the public schools for the purpose of tearing
down what the ages have built up.
. There are those who delight to designate themselves as the
intelligensia whose criticism is directed against what they design­
ate as the “ bourgeons— main street” tendencies of American life,
with its admitted admiration of public men like President
Coolidge, Governor Smith, Herbert Hoover, because their thinking
is very much along old-fashioned: lines— who find nothing but
anathema in the professions of Rotary, Kiwanis and other service
Clubs. One of the most brilliant of this group of critics has had
Occasion topament the timidity of teachers, and their tendency to
conform to the ideals of the community. W hat would this.i and
ot-her critics have ? Those whom they criticise have made a decent
lijë respectable, they hâve reared countless homes for the poor,
atidpthe down trodden, for orphans; for the blind, and the
maimed. This nation has stood forth among the nations of the
world.! W ill you young men and women hesitate on which ..side
you will ¡Serve?
. L ife calls to you to-day. Yours is. thee inheritance'of the ages.
The mistakes of the teachers and civilizations- of the past are
before you for your avoidance. A ll their contributions that have
made the world better are yours. Teachers, ancient and modern,
hold up the torch for your guidance«, And let us not forget that
towering high above others, pointing the way out of W orld
Wars, and conflagrations, toward the day when, nations shall know
one another as members! of one common family.
“When the war drum throbs no longer
And the battle flags are furled,
In the Parliament of Man, the Federation of the World,” Stands
for your guidance, and inspiration the great Teacher, who taught
as never man taught— Jesus of Nazareth.”
A t the conclusion of the address Dr. Heiges, Dean
the
College, presented twelve graduates in the four year course. The
degree dfjpachelor of Science was conferred upon them. Thirtythree graduates in the three year course were next presented and
received the diploma in that course. The last group to be pre-i

This Commencement marks the graduation of the last three year
class. Hereafter' students will be graduated in only the two and the
four year classes. The growth of the four year course has been
one of the outstanding features of the last few yea'rs. •

ATTENDANCE OF ALUMNI AT THE SUMMER
SESSION
The most gratifying feature of the present summer school is
the large enrollment of graduates of .the two and three year
courses. Practically all of these have enrolled in the four year
course:— the majority in the B. S. course that fits for teaching
in Junior and Senior H igh Schools, but a considerable number
are taking the work for the B. S. course in Elementary Education.
There is a growing need for supervisors and principals of school
buildings in our larger towns.
The demand: for graduates of the four year course is far; in
advance of the supply. Superintendents and Boards of Directors
have come to realize that the best training that can be given a
teacher is that covered by the four year or the advanced two year
curriculums.
During the next summer sessions the courses will be so arranged
as to fit in with the work already taken by students for the
completion of the B. S, courses,1

HOME COMING DAY, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3
(For members of the even numbered year classes)
Home-Coming Day has^corne to be one Ôf thé big features of
our College life. Last year more than seven hundred graduates,
their wives' and husbands crowded into the Main Dining Room
and overflowed into the ànbexefçand ëv.en found places on arm
chairs in the hall. It Was a most enthusiastic gathering, but the
College authorities reluctantly admitted that because of physical
limitations it would be necessary hereafter to divide the Alumni
into two. divisions, those who were graduated in the even' numbered
years.: :and.those who were graduated in the odd yéars, Éfn this
Waÿ it will be possible for us- to entertain, all of the Alumni; in a
period of two years. A s announced at the banquet last year the
even year classes beginning ' with 1874 and including the clapjjof
.4928 will be invited this;' year. Next year the odd numbered
clashes will have their turn. O f course if any of our Alumni of
the odd numbered classes are fortunate enough to have married
a member of an even year class, he (or she) is “ in luck” for that
will mean opportunity to attend the banquet; every year.
O f course all Alumni will be welcome to the football game, but,
because of lack of, accommodation, the dinner this year will be
limited to graduates of the even numbered year classes, their

husbands and wives* (or a member of the Senior class in a four
year high school). To these we say, “ Get ready for a good time.”
Don't, forget the date. Saturday, November 3, and the program—
the football game with California State Normal at 2 o’clock and
the big dinner at 6 o’clock.

“FIRST CALL” TO CLASS OF ’89
To the members of the class of ’89 :
It may seem a. far cry to next Commencement, but the months
have a fashion of passing quicklye-%Rijd, ere we know it, 1929 and
the end of the college year will be here.
W e were, the largest class graduated from old. Kormal when we
received our diplomas almost forty years ago, even though we
numbered only" forty-two. Time has dealt rather kindly with us
as only thréërtof our number, Bennie V.ydfloub : Flora Sefton
Reading, and J.ohn Myers, have answered the last roll call.
W e have reason to be proud of the record of our claisg Though
this is not the time -nor place to recount, our individual and
collective triumph!/ we may at least sound the first call of “ Get
together, Class of ’89” for a reunion that will make all previous
forty-year reunions sink into the background (even the celebrated
forty-year reunion of the class..of ’86) and that will: set the high
water mark for years to come.
Let us keep in mind four things :
1. I f we want to have a real reunion, we must begin now to plan’
for it.
2. Let’s make it a hundred percent reunion by bringing back
every living member of the cla s|f^
3. .Let’s first make the arrangements for ourselves (and husband
or wife) and then get in touch with the other boys and girls of
the class whom we knew intimately forty years ago and see to
it that they are here.
4. Finally remember that Commencement comes early next
year. The date for our reunion will be Saturday, May 25. Let’s
mark it down in red ink and say that means “ I’m going to attend
the biggest and best forty-year class reunion ever held at Shippensburg,”
.^.'^Fraternally,

and secretary, Miss Romaine Nell, of Pittsburgh, were re-elected
for the ensuing year. p T h e president acted as toastmaster for the
evening. A delicious banquet was served to about fifty alumni
and guests.
W e were especially delighted to have with us Dr. Heigefcj. Dean
of the College, as our guest of honor. In his own inimitable style,
the doctor impressed upon; ug-ithe |§iignity and importance of our
high calling and. our responsibilities to our Alma Mater. He gave
us the most welcome news that the qld school|i|Lsobn J|| have a
much needed addition, a science building. For each one of those
present he had an ■ interésgíng reminiscence, a kindly wish or a
personal friendly greeting.
Ónfe ofitpur guestspof particular interest to all alumni, w as Mr.
Clyde Barnhart, noted star of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

^Department of Economics, at W . and J. College, Washington, Pa.,.;
anÍL'.'Mr. W . A . G. Linn ’oi.
A fter a most touching discussion by the president on the subject
“ High Finance”, the group turned to the lighter entertainment of
the evening.
Mr. Matthias had secured an excellent orchestra which furnished
“peppy” dance music.. Thpn there were cards for those whose
brains.'; worked better than their feet. Last, but Liar from least,
■ everyone preseui-fgt'horoughly enjoyed the clever little Misses
Schaub who entertained with vocal musiq||and dancing, and
characterizatidns.
A t a late hour the crowd wended their way homeward, happily
promising their presence at the next meeting.

REUNION CLASS OF 1898
The thirtieth reunion of this class waiplk very successful, and
pleasing affair. Owing to the failure to send out notices until
quite a late date, many of the class who would have otherwise
been present were unable to be on hand. A large attendance was
the only thing to be desired- for in every other way the occasion
was a pleasant onel About twenty m em ger|K :T h e .cla || were
present with a number of friends and children of various members.
Owing to the rather sm ||l attendance no: bU sin ej was undertaken.
A dinner was arranged and held at the Ft. Morris Hotel, Shippensburg, at 4 :30 P. M. ' .Twenty-seven persons attended this dinner
;S r . John -G. Benedict acted- as toastmaster and responses, were
made by every member of- the cla||i||resen t, telling::}®: his or her
whereabouts and what: each was doing. A t six o’clock go.qd|byes
were said and the members of the class, of 1898 returned to their
homes after deciding to return in ten years and make the fortieth
reunion a much larger affair.

REUNION CLASS OF 1918
Twenty-eight members I l f the class, husbands and friends-, and
the Class Deans, M iss'A lice Huber and D r.H $ :. Heiges enjoyed

at Parnell Tavern, Friday evening, June 1.
Following the banquet Mr. Wentz presided as toastm gter and
called upon the class deans to address the group. Both responded;
letters from absent members were;«read by Mr. W entz and Miss
Rolar and the following members of th e .class responded to Mr.
W entz’/ ' requests. Mr/T Edna Spath O ’Dell who •' preferred - to
sing her speech. Chester “ Chet” Myers .and Jo Hays.
A few moments of silence was the tribute payed by the class
to the members of those who have passed beyond, H arry Taylor,
Harley Surface, Grace FurgeSOn, Guy Snader and Sarah Smith.
A fter the banque|/members of the orchestra from the College
furnilhed dance music for tl^ e - who enjoyed dancing, and many

ALUMNI PERSONALS
’78 W e are glad to publish the following letter from Mr.
Hunter written to be read on Alumni Day in case any of his
class should be here. It so happened that none of the class of
’78 who; are living yvere able to get here, but we know they will
be interested in reading the letter.
O f the old class of 1878 that graduated on July 4, 1878. There
were eighteen of us. Now, according to the record, their remain
but seven for sure, as it is known that nine have “gone on before”
and two are not to be found.
makes me feel somewhat lone­
some as only very few, if any, wjll have a fiftieth reunion in
Room 29a on June 1st and 2nd. No doubt that all of us that are
left have “ silver threads among the gold” and some are altogether
entirely gray but it makes us all feel young again when we think
of those happy days, and extremely busy ones too, spent at the
old- C. V . S- N. S. W e hope that all of us may be allowed to
have a reunion in the “ Sweet by and by.”
There are many things that I would like much to say and many
questions tha|;I;would like to ask but time will not permit. Hoping
for the continued prosperity of our Alma Mater and with kind
regards for old time friends that may possibly remember me in
the years of long agcjp«remain,
V ery truly yours,
