GREETINGS
The presentation
of this little
handbook
to our students,
and to our freshmen
In
particular,
is but another
method
of extending
greetings
tc you.
The
college

begins the first year of the last quarter
S

a century with much promise.
less to say that the entering

It is needclass will

contribute
much to this first year of this
quarter
of our century
of experience
as
an
institution
for
the
preparation
of
teachers.
On April
23 the college
observed
the seventy-fifth
year of its existence.
At that time the wonderful
traditions and the remarkable
contributions
of
Edinboro
to the life
of our state
were
exemplified.
Our
students
today
ar\"
therefore,
the inheritors
of this wonderful tradition.
This
little
handbook
must
not be reas a book of rules,
instructions,
and '.Dont's".
Rather,
it Is a guide
for
the new students
and a reminder
to our
upper
classmen.
Edinboro
prides
itself
that It has few rules and regulations,
but
that
what
the students
themselves
and
the administration
have agreed upon shall
be honestly
and conscientously
observed.
The student
body through
its committee
has set up certain
standards
for the stuc1ent body.
I have every reason to believe
that
each standard
set up is reasonable
and aimed at the general
welfare
of students, faeulty,
and community.
After
all,
what we are is often
illustrated
by wh:lt
we do.
May I urge
all of our students
that we so advertise
the college
that the
Impressions
we make may
Induce other..
to come to Edinboro.
A good reputatlo"
not only for fine scholastic
work,
but for
the fine
lady-like
and
gentlemanly
behavior
at all times on the campus
and off
the campus
will
mean much
to any In'stltutlon,
In greeting
the students,
may I not only
welcome
them,
but may I also hope fo:.
each and every one of them health,
happlness,
and succes8 In all their
work
for
the year 1936-:J7.

INTRAMURAL

ATHLETICS

The
main
objectives
for
Intramural
athletics
are group spirit,
social
contact,
and above all better
health.
This year at Edlnboro
we hope to (:onduct a program
of intramural
competitive
sportH which
will
Include
touch
football,
soccer,
tennis,
volley
ball,
mush
ball,
baHketball,
and archery.
This should
offer every student
In school an opportunltx
to compete.
Edlnboro
realizes
the importance
of inter-collegiate
athletics
in the college,
l'ut
It also realizes
the vital
need of properly
supervised
physical
education
for
all
rather
than
a high
degree
of training
for a few.
The more
proficient
an Individual
becomes in a sport the greater
enjoyment
he will derive
from it.
This interest
will
become permanent
and will continue
long
ycars
after
his college
days are past.
I would
urge all students
to join their
groups
with
a spirit
of determination
to
make the sports
an enjoyable
and worthwhile endeavor.

Director of Men's Athletic!!
