again. The result of these years
of study abroad was Scottish Man
of Feeling, published in 1931. His
other leave of absence came last year
when Dr, Tommy, the recipient of a |
Rockefeller grant for that year, fin-
ished writing his book on the folk-
lore of New York state, Body, Boots,
and Britches,
In his years of teaching here, Dr.
‘Thompson has tried to combine lit-
erature with history and music,—"to
cut across departmental lines,” as he
says, “a thing which many of the
faculty do.” His favorite course 1s
American folk literature, where the
students do original research work.
He has used a great deal of this
student research material in writ-
ing his latest book. “In a way,
says Dr. Tommy, “Body, Boots,
and Britches is a State college
book.”
Not only does this course teach
students how to do original research
work, but also teaches them how to
get acquainted with their own sec-
tion of the country.

Kelly to Induct
Student Leaders
For Association
Assembly to Feature Report
On Student Finances;
Smith Will Speak
Mr. E. L. Cooper, Treasurer of
Finance Board, will report today in
assembly on the financial status of
State College for the present fiscal
year. Lloyd Kelly, retiring Student
Association president, will install
his successor, Merrill Walrath, and
other officers for the 1940-41 term,
Ralph Tibbetts, '42, vice-president,
and Don Vanas, '43, secretary.
“We wish to offer the thanks of
the Student Association to Louise
Hessney, '40, capable editor of the
Directory, which was issued earlier
this year than ever before,” Kelly
commented, “We also want to thank
Mr. Cooper who took over the big
job of association treasurer when
Mr. Hidley became ill last Decem-
ber.”
Property Inventory
Stanley Smith, '41, will give the
first perpetual inventory of all prop-
erty owned by organizations receiv-
ing support through the Student
Association. As planned, this inven-
tory will be checked once a year. At
the end of the year, the depreciation
on the items is computed and the
new value listed. The revised list of
student property will then be pre-|
sented the Student Association.
Records on File
The records show a description,
identifying number, and disposition
of any articles that are sold, de-
stroyed, or discarded during the year.
A duplicate record will be maintain-
ed in Finance Board files. The
sociation thus has an accurate mov
ing record of its property, and in- ‘41
dividual leaders will be held respon-
sible. If this report is not ready for
the meeting today, it will be posted
on the bulletin board as soon as the
organizations complete their inven-
tory reports.
Tn addition, Kelly makes the sug-
gestion that the Student Association
should at least consider the advisa-
bility of using advertisements as the
basis of paying for next ye 's di-
rectory. The plan this year of sell:
ing the directory to the students ha:
proved successful. Under the new
provision, competition for adverti
ments among the college publications
will be unnecessarily increased,
The rite and dignity that accom-
panies the tapping of a new
kania returned to Page hall for
few fleeting moments last Friday
In an unprecedentedly eamlined
ceremony, Myskania chose its suc-
cessor,
Frank Kluge opened the proceed
ings. An expectant hush fell ovei
the auditorium as he moved around
the aisles in long, easy strides and
tapped Roy McCreary. In rapid or-
der Kluge was succeeded by Wilson,
Kelly, Howe, Kowalsky, Sullivan,
Trainor, Simmons, Freedman, and
Baird who tapped Murray, Smith,
Kusak, Agne, Walrath, Dower, Mil-
ler, Haller, and Beers pectively.
After Baird had returned with
Beers, Kluge stepped out again. The
tension in the auditorium which had
relaxed suddenly increased, only
to ebb again Kluge circled the
stage and returned to his place
At no time did the emony re-
semble the excruciatingly dreary
procedure of the year before. At
its conclusion, ten happy juniors
stood upon the stage. Their joy
contrasted sharply with the osten-
sible passivity of the tappers. Only
a half smile now and they betrayed
the fact that the rite was as emo- |;
tional to the tappers as to the tap-
id,
PeThe ten new members of Mys-
kania and their school activities in
ore of thelr tapping, are as fol-
lows:

Retrospection Reveals Renovations, Innovations
Another year has almost passed

Teap out into the great unknown—
the time has come for retrospec-
tion and digestion of the contents
of the year,
State has seen many things in
the last few months, both great and
small; both novel and traditional.
The traditional we know; the in-
novations we should remember , . . H
The yeor is first memorable ra

bacher. We sailed into a new “five-
year sea” with a cargo of freshmen
to be delivered into that far-off
land of t A. degree, They are

The budget cut which we so ar-
dently fought last year came into
lay, and we experienced retrench-
ing on all sides. The merger of the
Bcho and Lion into the Statesman
has become a reality, with the pub-
Heation of our new magazine. We
can now judge the success of this
experiment,
Early in the year, a new spirit
of political and parliamentary re-
form seized the student body which
renulted in (1) much bickering in
assembly with frequent references
to Roberts’ Rules of Order, (2) a
new voting system, (3) investiga-
tion of organized activity, (4) a new
note in campaign speeches, and (5)
a two-day stand by Murray as par-
Namentarian.
In another phase, this year has
brought other changes in the realm
of student living. With an eye to
enli shtenment of the student body,
Stewart Smith, '40, instigated a vic-
and public address system,
original idea of news broad-
throughout the day has not
materialized, and there has been dis-
satisfaction with the dance music
in the Commons. Perhaps next year
will see a better and more effective
system.
The spring has seen developments
which are also looking upward,
First of all came the confirmation
of the rumor that a new Commons
will be provided next year in Husted

Hall, dedicated to the Iate Dr. Bru-
bacher, Already we have seen the
renovating spirit manifest itself in
the painting of the interior of Hust-
ed.
Recent activity on the campus by
the janitorial staff gave us the
benches left to us by the class of '39,
and a sparkling new drinking foun-
tain at the door to the Commons.
Thus State College has progressed
in the realm of student government
and student affairs with corres-
ponding changes in both curriculum
and in buildings. We have not
gone far enough, perhaps, but next
year... well, let’s wait and see.
