MINE RESCUE STATION
Believed to be the First Mine Res_
cue Station Established by a
School of Mines in the United
States. Event Inaugurated on
Dec. 5, 1910.
There was opened at The Penn
sylvania State College School of
Mines on the evening of Dec. 5,
1910, what is believed to be the first
Mine Rescue Station to be establish
ed in the United States by a School.
of Mines. This station has been
established for the purpose of giv
ing instruction in the use of Mine
Rescue apparatus to the students of
the School of Mines, and to other
persons interested.
The station is equipped with two
Draeger Oxygen Rescue helmets
with all accessory apparatus, one
Draeger Pulmoter for causing artifi
cial respiration, safety electric
lights, and safety lamps. Other
equipment will 'be added as rapidly
as possible.
There is a large , "smoke room"
built gas-tight, in which noxious
and unbreathable gases may be
liberated, ‘ and in which the men may
be trained in the, use of the helmets
in such atmosphere.
In the smoke room there has been
constructed a large wooden 'struc
ture representing a full sized portion
of a Mine Entry with an overcast
and students are trained to
enter this with . the helmets;
and working in the noxious atmo
sphere, to build brick stopping, to
climb through the overcast carrying
loads, and to do other such work as
would have to be done by a rescue
party. On the night of the opening,
the "smoke room" was filled with
the fumes of burning sulghur, fol
lowed by nitrous oxide, the smoke
becoming so dense that the electric
lights carried by men in the room
could not be 'seen t a distance of
six inches. The room is provided
with glass doors and windows which
permit the interior to be observed
from the outside.
The opening of the Station was
conducted under the .auspices of
the Engineering Society of the
School of Mines, and consisted of
of an illustrated lecture on Mine
Rescue Work and Apparatus, by a
Prof. W. M. Weigel, followed by a
demonstration of the Pulmoter, and
of the Rescue helmets in the Smoke
room by Mr. G. T. Halkeman, a
representative of the Draeger Ox
ygen Apparatus company, assisted
by members of the Society. ,
•It is the intention of the School
of Mines to extend the work by con
structing unde grlund mine work- ,
ings, with ventilation from mine
fans, in which the apparatus can be
used under actual mining conditions.
It is hoped that the School will
be able to obtain the services of
some man trained at one of the U,
S. Bureau of Mines Rescue stations
to take charge of its Station and to
give instruction in the use of the ap
partus, and in First Aid Work.
Both of these subjects are of the
greatest importance, and it is felt
that all students ' from the School
should be thorough y trained , in
them.
Great interest is being taken in
this work, and it is believed that
this rescue station will be of great
service to the student of the School
of Mines and to the mining indus
try of the State of Pennsylvania.
Debating a College Affair
Until this year the college debat
ing teams have been managed by
the literary society, but from the
present time, they will be gr'verned
by the Debating council, a body
which will be composed of one
faculty member, two . seniors, two
juniors, one sophomore and one
freshman. ..,
All of the men who will compose
this council have been chosen with
the exception of the freshman repre
sentation, and this member should
be appointed immediately by the
president of the class.
The appointed men are: G. F.
Zook, faculty member, H. R. Mof
fitt, 'll, M: Smith, 'll, H. S.
Adams, 'l2, R. DeCharms, Jr., 'l2,
and R. E. Atkinson, 'l3.
The men in charge of debating
have felt that the debating teams
represent our college as well as any
athletic team, and therefore have
taken steps to make debating a real
college affair by organizing a special
body, composed of men in all the
classes to have charge of debating.
The debating council held its first
meeting on Tut sday evening Dec.
'l3, 'lO.
Professors Frizzell, Zook and
Cottrell will coach the teams.
The following men will represent
State in debating this year.

TTIE ST tl TE COLLM IN
STATE MEN AT LEHIGH
P. H. Johnson and T. W. Piollet
Make Strong Addresses Before
Lehigh Men.
The weekly Y. M. C. A. meeting
held in Drown Hall, on Sunday
evt ning, was led by Knox, 'l2, and
was the best attended meeting this
year.
After the customary opening of
the meeting, 9 quartet composed of
Schall, 'll, Staab, 'l4, Fuller, 'l2,
and Terwilliger, 'l2, rendered the
vdcal selection, "Sweet and Low,"
very creditably. ,
The speakers of the evening were
Messrs. Johnson and Piollet, both
of Penn State College. Both men
have,been star foot-ball players for
Penn State, and consequently much
interest was shown in them by the
students. ,
After being introduced by Knox,
Mr. Johnson spoke briefly on the
Y. M. C. A. work at State College.
He stated that, although the Y. M.
C. A. is comparatively young there,
still a keen interest is taken in it
by the student body. The town at
which the college is located is
small, having a population of or:1Y
about 1700, so that the town has
little or no attraction for the stu
dents who therefore have more
time to 'give to Y. M. C. A. work.
This interest which the men take in
the work shows itself in the form
of a good influence of men on the
newcomers to ,'college. In closing,
Mr. Johnson urged the men to try
to mike their interest in .the Y. M.
C. A. practical in every day life
about college by helping men in va
rious ways.
The next speaker was _Mr. Piol
let,, who is a graudate of Mercers
burg and has spent three years at
Cornell. The subject of his brief
talk was "Development of Charac
ter." In a little preliminary talk,
Mr. Piollet gave ' a , very interesting
account of " his thfee years at Cor
nell. After Mr. Piollet's entrance
at State College he became inter
ested in the college Y M. C. A.,
and has been an earnest worker In
that organization ever since. He
also reminded those present, espe
cially the older ones, that the spirit
of Y. "M. C. A. work need not end
at graduation, but that much good
can be
, done after leaving college
by influencing others in the right
direction. From Brown and White,
December 20, 1910.
