NOT “ QOLLERGIZED." Col. Fortaey Declares the Basiness at State College Is Not Becoming * Qol. legized.” The letter from Col. D. F. Fortney needs no explanation, and it will gO far toward correcting a false impres- sion that the business interests at Btate College are being largely absorb- ed by College professors. The Reporter will make but one statement, and it is this : It is not the originator of the misstatement. Col, Fortney’s letter, dated, Bellefoute, August 8th, follows : “In your valued paper of August the 6th, at the bottom of the second column of the last page You have a local with reference to business at Btate College, in which you state that it * is be’ coming very much collegized,” and give as an illustration of this alleged fact among other things, that the water plant is being constructed to furnish the Pennsylvafia State College with water, and that members of the faculty are large- ly interested in the venture—that the faculty or individual members of it own the State College Times, hotel, ete. As a matter of fact no member of the faculty or any one having any official con- nection or relation with the College owns a share of stock In the proposed new water company, The plant is owned exclusively and entirely by the College corporation : not a single professol or &ny one having any relations with the College officially or othorwise has any ownership in the College Times : but on the other hand it is own. ed exclusively by an outsid r. There is but one professor that has any interest in the hotel, and his interest is less than one-gighteenth of the whole, While this inadvertent misstatement on your part does not allege anything actually wrong or immoral, it does convey a false impression which may be used by strangers or enemies of the Insti. tution to Its disadvantage. I write all the more freely to you knowing that you are a good friend of the College and anxious to have its welfar promoted and that you would be only too glad to rectily an Inadvertent misstatement.’ —————————— Veteran Club Plenle.
