GLENVILLE "COLLEG£"7

S!Dce G~ville St&te Nonnal Scllool baa beea made a docree-p>•tirqr in-Oil' there has been a diJr..,._ eDCe of opinion as to its name. On a posteT distribu~ eel by Salem CoiJe.,. it ,.... '\Glenville Col!...,"; local ebeeHTB at the Wesleyan game this !&II yelled "Gie~»­ville CoUeee.'' Let us examine the reason for thia ~'hence in Doml!'ndature tlbat some h'liVe made.

Ia 1872 t1Je Jegialatu"' of Weot Virginia provided for the eataolt.shmeont here of Glenville State Nonnal Sdaool. l'nmtutions of similar nmk and name had been or were created at Huntington, Fairmont, West Uberty, AtheM, UJd Shepherdstown. While all of theM gTant degrees aft •the preeent time, we think that the name of no one of them hu beeon changed to "eoi­lep" by the legislature; Marlball might be 11n ex~­ticm. Until .the body tboot eotal>llohecl tb... ll<>hools e.banges~eir names. they are still normal schools lnd ahoald be called ouch. It is without tile realm of a prealdent's' or facu)ty's authon"ty to ~hanr:e th~ title that the legislature bas dotteed.

Aceordinr: to tho etymolotrY of th, . words"ochools'' and "coUep," tbeTe is IKtle d:iJrereftce in

1 their ma.n­

ing when applied kt institutions of lttaming. "Sehoo:F' hu Latin and Greek Toot. meaning leisur~, or vaea. t.ion from business. Webster says, "In modetn usage· tile word 'school' eompreheonds every place of education u univenity, collece, aeademy, fYOmrnon or private .ebools. etc." "CoUege" co~es hom two Latin words mdlning "tc pther." Of ft Webster. saye, .. An est&~ llahment or ...tUic:e approprilllted to the use of l!tud<!IIIA:o who an acqutrinc the languages and aeienees." But, Weblt.er •xplaina further, "'School' .throu~h p;NRnt uaae iaaa come to mean an institution inferior to 'unfwrnllty' 'eoflege.'" Although Dnivenitie• desfg· ..- tzhriT u "sehools of law'' &nd "COlle,.es

u..-e should a&llition only "college" 10mething wperior to our l})iJrb .sehoola.

.t..en, Glenville &ate Norma! School Ia not • .... ool bolt a eollege.

We objeot, however, to the use of the term "ooD~" lilt pneent. ' The 1930-31 bulletin has "GienviHe State Normal Scbool, A Stote Teachers College,'' and offi­dala 5peak of it as " schooL" Unwieldly as it mtly be, we think that this institution should be .named "Glen· viUe State ~eachers" College." "Teaeben' eoUege" is preferable to "normal callege" for "normal" nueans aceordinr to a tl..xed st!andard. Exeept for the matter of usasre, ~JC:bools of med.idne •nd la'WV: schools might be u well be calJed "normal achools." ' 1Teaohers," we think, should be ueed to distin,guisb it from the /'rdi­tl&l'J' academic coltet:es.

May we aar:r:e•t that those peraona who mast eay .,Glenville College" refrfJin from doing so until t he )egislwt.ure ~as changed the name and meanwhile de. vote them.sel\'lf!S to doint; colle1e :woTk. Until ; hen Gleaville State Nonnsl School. ' •

OPEN SEASON: SCHOOL SPIRIT

It is fall , that open season wheu you.t:hful editorial WTiters b.ke their ipoe'DS in hand, or it is nune tbe:ir Coronas on their laps. and with almost righteous i n,... dipation begin a hunt for sohool !ipirit or the Jack of it. ~ an annual subject, more tha.s probably been wri~ ten 8i)out it and lesa said than ihas been said and -done about the weatlher. Lest we fall too disasterously into the same praetiee, we shall not se.btlle the matter once and for aU; but we do ~hink the fact tha,t school spirit '-s reached a new low, <whether -or not it may be only a bear raid. is worth attention.

The bubble that -0itce. inflated sohool spirit bas burst. Ya!e and Princeton, universities of oltlest traditions, lament through the ~ voices of a few that no one stbends the tbuses; tb:at .sta.dents in too large numbers leave the unhenity towns for week·tnc.b a.nd thatl things a.re not as they used to be. Glenville Not"!Dal Sebool has reached a status similar t.o ~irs. We could give any n~rs of f~ if we deemed it I\eeess.ary, to p:rov~ t.his Dte.ment.

The reasons for this d.eftation are many. Most mo­me.nt:tls, a.nd the only really dangerous one of ell is osimply t:h:tt no o.ne is interested in anything except as it may sen~ to entertain him durin-f aome brief b.alf­laoo:r. No dilrerenc:e how many magistrates buy their bendles in New York, the voters do ~t get angry; no matter to what depths otlie:ia.J corruption may deseen:d in Chicago~ the vote.n are a-pparently more entertain­"" than insolted. Most students may be entertained ~haps br too ea.sily--, bot few ean bec:ome inter· eoted. We do not know the ...uon for this. Better trauportation ud co~~mumicaticm methods tbat enable
