In the recent powder mill explo
sion at Barksdale, Wis., F. T. Beers
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
'9B received serious cuts and
bruises. He is recovering and will
soon be able to be out. Two other
State graduates are employed at the
same factory, Wishart, '95 and
Woodside, 'OB, but so far as has
been learned, neither was hurt.
H. A. Kuhn, '96 has recently in
vented a machine ‘• hich is claimed
will revolutionize the coal mining in
dustry. The machine digs and
loads coal at the rate of one ton a
minute and is now used extensively
in all the mines of the Pittsburg and
Westmoreland Coal Company of
which Mr. Kuhn is president.
R. W. Krise, 'OB, writes from
Gary, Indiana, where he is in the
engineering department of the In
diana Steel Co. It will be remem
bered that this company is building
the largest single steel plant in the
world. The plant when completed
will consist of sixteen blast furnaces,
four open hearth furnaces each five
hundred feet long, a five million
dollar electric power station, and the
other equipment necessary for a
plant of that size.
The Old Willow.
The willow tree on the Main walk
which is so thoroughly identified
with State College and . which has
appeared in many photographs and
cuts, was planted by Mr. Waring,
Superintendent of the Farmers'
Hign School, about 1858. A lane
led from the main wagon road, now
College avenue, up into the grounds
at the head of which was a gate and
near the gate the willow was planted.
On the other side of the tree was a
stile over which one entered the en
closure about Old Main. The
ground about the tree was low and
children skated on the ice formed
on the water collected in the hollow
in the winter. When the depression
was filled.the grading made the tree
appear as if it had two trunks since
the earth was filled up above the
first forks. It is to be hoped that
the havoc wrought on the tree by
the storm Monday will not cause it
to decay, since State would not be
State to the Alumni if the old wil
low were missing. Steps will prob
able be taken to preserve it as long
as even a portion of it grows, as has
been done for the old elm on Cam
bridge Common, under which Wash
ington took command of the Ameri
can forces in 1775.
In order to determine a question
which has long been uncertain as to
the control which the College
authorities propose to exercise over
the fraternity houses built upon the
Campus, the Executive Committe
at a meeting during the summer
adopted the following resolution :
That the College "Retains dis
ciplinary power over individual stu
dents and fraternity houses, whether
located on or off the campus, in so
far as may be necessary to protect
the good name and the good order
of the institution."
