THE CAMPUS
Spring is the time when we are
anxious to have everything about
us harmonious and beautiful. Tt
is the season of the year when we
are in a hurry to get all our work
done in the shortest possible time
so that we can enjoy the pleasures
of life with a free conscience. Also
in spring the rain and the melting
snow make the ground soft and
muddy, and it yields der the
lightest hurrying foot. All of which
insinuates to State College students
that they must keep their unhal-
lowed feet from our campus while
it is in this impre: able state.

A FABLE BY AESOP. JR.
Once upon a time in the land of
long ago there was a young maiden
who was much beloved by her par-

of the time wien she should leave
them; so they, when the other
young maidens’ and young men
called to her, said, “Pray remain at
home.” And she did’ remain at
home and know not the young men
and maidens,
But the time came one day when
she was sent forth to a far kingdom
and there there were many young
men and maidens. Now when the
festival time came, the young maid-
cn was filled with great dread for
she knew not of a companion for
the great festival day, And
wrote a message to her own king-
dom for a companion at the festival,
but the young men reasoned in their
heart d, “We knew her not;

Wheretipon the maiden in her
trouble besceched the other, young
maidens to. find a companion for
her at the festival, But the other
young maidens looked upon her dis-
dainfully and said among. them:
selves, “The young men would be
displeased at us for she knows not
the way of a festival.” So when
the festival day came, the young
maiden drew near to the festival

when she came to the judgment
