The collection comes to Penn State from Middletown, Conn., where it was displayed at the Wes- leyan University centennary, and from there it will be sent to Colum- bia University, where it will be shown in January. The Parrish Carrolliana is the largest in the United States, accord- ing to Willard P. Lewis, the Penn State librarian. It includes more than 300 items among which are early and recent editions of Car- roll's stories in seven languages and several editions in shorthand. It is| interesting to note that a Chinese | censor recently barred “Alice in| Wonderland.” Grounds for the act were that the story represented ani- mals as talking. Other items in the collection are! Carroll's mathematical works, pa-| The aim of the organization is to include in its membership all those who are interested in the advance- ment of music; those who are mu- sic lovers; those who feel the need of a different kind of entertainment. The group present at the meeting will constitute a general and execu- tive committee. They will open membership on or about December 15th. To be- come a member of the League it will be necessary to purchase a sea- son ticket for the group of con- certs to be presented. It is plan- ned to present, during this first season, a series of three concerts. The price of a membership will be $4.00 for adults and $2.00 for chil- dren. It has long been the desire of many residents of Bellefonte to have an opportunity to attend a series of concerts given by talented artists. That such a series should be a matter of civic pride is an un- disputed fact. Bellefonte has al- Carroll lore is on exhibition in the “WAYS enjoyed a reputation for being an artistic and cultural centre, but of late has fallen far short of this reputation. Many communities smaller than Bellefonte support a series of concerts each year. Sure- ly there are enough lovers of good music in this community to give their support to the movement now on foot. Through the radio many people have learned to know and enjoy the finest type of music, but it is much more of a pleasure to hear that same music in the more intimate realm of the concert stage. It will be the aim of the League to present to the people of Belle- fonte and vicinity concerts by a group of the younger artists who are already gaining national recog- | nition. Such concerts certainly should appeal to everybody in any phase of the cultural life of this community.
