RED CROSS SEALS
Christmas is coming' You have your list of presents made out
and of couise you have got to remember the folks at home, and the
girl, and the whole range ol friends And whac then 9 Do you count
your duty as being completed 9 Here’s a new one—thougn maybe you
have touched on it before—how about helping to give a permanent
present to about two million people—a present of health? That is
the number they estimate that ruocrculosis has in its power.
Helping out is as simple as the easiest part of sending your girl
a i e tt e r buying a stamp. The National' Tuberculosis Association
uses these happy Christmas,and Healthy New Year’Seals as its only
method of raising money. You buy from one cent’s worth to twenty
five dollars’ worth according to your ability and your idea of the
Christmas spirit. Stick them on your letters and help someone whose
joys have been clouded by tuberculosis
The Tuberculosis Association of Pennsylvania has succeeded in
cutting the tuberculosis death rate one third in fifteen years, assuring
you that your money goes into capable hands. Buy your limit and
then talk it up The cost is small, the result great!
THE LIBRARY SITUATION
v -t l {n response'to-a-yccer.t-editorial this column on the
condition of the Library, the following statements are made by Dr. E.
W. Runkle, the Librarian oi the College, in order to clear any misunder
standings that the student body may have and to explain the condi
tions under which the Library staff is working.
Ist. The honor system in the use of the library was adopted in
1904 when the new building was opened The student body was small,
and the library was small, then the system worked well. But the hon
or system has broken down in this college as well as elsewhere. This
fact is apparent, lt needsno comment.
2nd The growth of rhe student body, the increase in books, and
the cramped condition of our stacks all made necessary a change to the
Call System. Access to stacks has been withdrawn, therefore, not to
curtail privileges but to widen opportunities This is in line with the
experience and practice of the best college libraries. A recent study
made shows that practice and expert opinion agree that when a library
reaches eighty to one hundred thousand volumes, the open stack will
not work. A few large libraries in colleges with small student bodies
have the open shelves, a few small libraries with large student bodies
have, but no large libraries with large student bodies have unrestricted
access to stacks Changes always involve adjustment, alterations in
our habits, but the greatest good to the greatest number amply justifies
them The catalogue, not the shelves, is the real source of information
on what any library contains and to learn to use it is the key to the use
of all other libraries. “Browsing” m the library has something to be
said in its lavor, but usually "browsing” is an evidence of the lack of
defimtncss of aim and purpose.
3rd. As to avoidable delay m serving the needs of the student
body, that is the vital point in your suggestion. We work under a
considciable handicap in that the smallness of our stack makes it
necessary to shelve books far removed from the desk An enlarged
stack which is an imperative necessity will doubtless soon be provided
But handicaps arc no excuse, only incentives, to better service. The
library has no special “system” to maintain, except the system that is
essential to the widest service and usefulness.- Suggestions for im
provement are welcome from all sources, and the staff bespeaks your
hearty cooperation in making the library what it should be, the work
shop of those who use its facilities The college has outgrown h
time when the library is a general stud/* room wherein disciplinary
oversight is necessary. It has become the place of earnest work. Vo
need to measure up to University standards in the use of the library n
less than in other lines of work.
The chief student complaint has been of the delay in securing
desired books. Formerly a student had free access to the stacks and
could immcdiatcy obtain the book if it was on the shelves, but now
that the stacks arc closed a request must be made at the desk and a
librarian goes for the book.
There is ample justification for the closing of the stacks, as the
above statements show. However, the student complaint is of the
attendent delay which has arisen through this system, and their desire
is that something be done to remedy the situation. The Library
authorities are doing all they can to correct this delay, and Dr. Runkle
believes that the longer the system is in effect and the more familiar
the student body becomes with it, the Better it will work. There is
also some readjustment necessary when changes are made and some
friction accompanies all progress The student body may be assured
that the Library is working tor the greatest good for the greatest
number.

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
YEAST EXPERT SPEAKS
BEFORE LIEBIG SOCIETY
Dr. R. E. Lee of Fleishman Yeast
Co. Tells of Research Work
in Bio-Chemistry
Dr.r R. E. Lee, rwho'Us director of
the Research Department of the Fliefi
chnlan—Yeaaf- Company, and- whoso
specialty is Bio-Chemistry, was cn
tertalncd'at a dinner lost Monday night
under tho’ausplcos of the Liebig Chem’ s ’
leal Society of Penn State and by in
vitation of Dr -R "A Dutcher, -head
of, the Department of Agricultural
Chomlstry.' Tho -4 dinner was attended
by twenty-three representatives of the*
Schools of Agriculture and Natural
Science.* Af tor’-the, dinner Dr. Leo
gave an Informal talk on "subjects re
lating to yeast »and-Its manufacture
Among! other ‘ . subjects, ’Dr 1 , Lee
touched on what tho'research labor
atory of the Yeast Company is accrnn
pliflhing:and!.g4vo*an'ldoa'o£ the vari
ous' .that'often
arise and which call for quick solving
by the chemists'of the ‘company.
In connection with tho late devel-
he spoke
particularly of tho work of chemists
in' reference.*to* thcNroraorkablo dis
coveries 'recently**made In" Investiga
tions of 'yfca’flt'.reactions "Among other
discoveries lately^made' along the lino
of yeast fermentation was tho fact
that the latter is seemingly only a sur
face reaction,'-Instead of taking place
all through -the'llquld undergoing ■fer-
as u was * formerly‘thought.
An 'experiment* that was’also 'of great
importance was 1 carried- 1 out by placing
an 101 l ‘emulaion'-'on sterilized kaolin
The' experimenters-' were very much
surprised'to find this reaction between
the * kaolin and -oil emulsion yielding
the same end-products os aro produc
ed in ' yeast ‘ fermentation, oven
giving* the 'precipitin’* test ’Thus, re
actiohi,lformerly'thought- to be char
octoristib of ’-yeast 'only were brought
about 1 -between'substances entirely for-
eign ‘nnd*’unrelated to that organism
Without' l doubt , ’*tfi3s' -discovery, will
prove-to be the'openlng of a new ter-
ritory for'research chemists along bio
logical chemistry Untie
The FUeschm&n ‘ Company has ad
opted the policy*of'placing 1 a consid
erable - amount! of its research work in
charge of several institutions of higher
learning whose/chemistry"laboratories
are of a-high degree of efficiency. Fel
lowships -already-'bavoi been granted
to Yaler University-of' Chicago,- Illin
