SENIOR MEMORIAL PLANS CONSIDERED Senior Class to Vote Soon on Three Proposed Plans—Wall on College Front Finds Favor. The Senior Metnorinl Commit tee is at the present lime work ing on several schemes which \\ ill be placed before the class for dis cussion and vote in the near fu ture. Of the various projects pro posed thus far three plans have proven worthy of consideration, and have met with some degree of favor w ith the class. These are a memorial wall along the front campus, a semicircular bench treatment in front of Main build ing, and a fire house. The first of these projects is designed to fill a long felt need on our front campus, namely the beautifying and distingushing of our campus front along East Col lege avenue. Jt is proposed to build a low parapet wall reaching from the Allen street entrance to the proposed entrance to the campus directly lo the west of the new Mining Building. This is to be m the shade of the now of maples along College avenue, is to be in the shade of the row of trees, and is to be fronted with a cement walk on the College ave nue side.. It is very probable that this project can be continued to the east of the new entrance and thus extend past the Mining building to McAllister street. it is proposed to grade the campus back of the wall in such a manner that the grass will come to within five or six inches from the top of the wall, thus making the latter in a way a retaining wall, and at the same time afford ing a very attractive break in the campus at that point. The wall can be built in a very attractive way of rough brick capped with cement or brown sandstone to harmonize with the buildings on College avenue. Special treatment will be made at the terminal at Allen street and the new entrance, the wall curv ing back and ending in some spe cial design. The wall as propos ed will be low enough to use as a seat, and can serve the purpose of a gathering place on front cam pus. This projecL seems to fit well with the improvements proposed for this part of the campus, and after the new street is broken through lo the west of the Mining budding, will be all that is neces sary to give the front campus a clear cut and well defined appear ance. It will further provide a walk across to the Mining build ing. and will prevent the cutting of paths over the lront campus. The project as a whole should prove a very permanent class me morial. The second project stated pro vides for a semicircle arrange ment of concrete benches facing the front of Old Main. It is pro posed to thus enclose the portion of the campus between the ter race and the semicircle of trees, the benches being in the shade of these trees. Three entrances will be provided, one at each end of the semicircle and one in the middle. All these entrances will be given some special treatment, and the last mentioned will be marked with a sun dial and will lead to two diagonal paths across The : Pennsylvania : State : College EDWIN ERLE SPARKS, Ph.D., L.L.

The projecl will not only hcuulify tills portion of tile campus, but will provide a gathering place and will afford an enclosure in which benches can be placed on the oc casion of outdoor exercises, or concerts held on Main building terrace. The project of erecting a build ing for the fire appaiatus has not met with as much favor as the first two schemes mentioned. This project provides for a build ing of some appropriate design in brick with possibly stone trim mings, and tile roof. The build ing would be designed to accom modate what fire apparatus is nccessarv for the college and town, and would piobably meas ure 30 feet square. The chief objection to tile plan seems to lie that no good location is avail able. and that such a project would not be sufficiently perman ent for a class memorial. In the College World Dr. A. k.
