a; no early hour. fresh as we still
«re from first four strenuous
dirs in the Cathedral citbs of North
ern France. In this palace. as I have
already said in tlu-s*- letters, is housed
•h? largest colleeiion of art in the
•rarH- To it we went hack, again and
ipin. seeing not very much that jyas
M x to us. hut visiting and revisiting
the rooms where were old favorites of
years. Since the ‘War there has
i«en a very gre.it re-arrangement of
tfc* treasures of the I>»uvre. This is
*#pedally true of the pictures, witji
tie exception of the manufactory that
!s’usually spoken of as the Kubens’
Collection. Not all the exhibits are
ret tack in place; hut enough are
tiere to bewilder any ordinary mortal:
and great progress has been made in
the replacement since my last visit
of thirteen months before. Certain
rooms of statuary are now much rich
er In treasures than ever before the
World War; and I have wondered
many times since leaving Paris where
all those newer pieces had been found.
Neither of us had visited Fontaine
bleau, and we were thcrfore counting
oach on the day we should devote to
that historic spot and the drive we
should take in the forest attached to
the Chateau —the largest in France.
It was to lie an adventure, from first
to last for there was little real in
formation that one cpuld get' from
sost of the tourist offices in Paris,
(unless we went in one of their con
veyances). as to how Fontainebleau
could be seen at a modest cost. But I
know from experiences about the
Louvre the previous year that there
would lie charabancs in which to “do”
the Forest, ami at a reasonable price;
and we therefore started forth from
the Gare de Lyon in Paris at 8:40 one
coming, quite like Abraham when he
left Ur of the Chaldees, not quite
knowing whither we went; hut quite
ftding that we were on the way to
the Promised I .and. At 9:45 we left
the train at the station of Fontaine-
Keau, a distance of a mile and a half
from the Chateau :ls the bird would
fly, but distance of almost one hund
red miles ns we made it in the chara
binc we found awaiting us.
There were really two charabancs
awaiting us: one would have given us
* “short'' ride of perhaps some thirty
miles of the forest, while the other]
offered a much longer ride with all'
the wonders of the forest added, and
hnch at Hnrlitzon! —with—a fact of
which we had not dreamed—Montigity
thrown in. Of .Montignv we had nev
er heard; yet Montignv proved to be
the climax of the day. As the sequel
showed, we wisely chose -the longer
drive,—much on the theory of Amanda
M#ans in “The I lousier School Mas
feF of "gittin’ a plintv while vou’re
otUnT*
Rret we were driven to the Tour
fkrrecourt named after the gentle
who had spent most of his life
fortune in exploring the forest—
0a a commanding height from which
we had a view for almost forty miles
wound. Thence we were driven for
®wy miles, through long stretches of
often over wastes of desert
tnd rock, until wo came to a sort of
pocket in the hills. Here we dismount
ed. preparatory to making our climb
« half a mile or more through very
Ktturesque rocks to the Give of the

Liberal Arts Building. It is ne
cessary that everyone be pres
ent at each of these mectngs
which are held at 6:45 p. m.
ther aside, since I began this letter I
have chanced to look out of our fifth
story window, out over the Piazza Es
quiliuo, when lo! from behind one of the
domes of .Santa .Maria Muggioto slowly
came into sight our llrst Italian Zep
jdin. Stately and noiselessly site lloat
ed in the air. until at last she turned
and disappeared behind some tower or,
oilier. From Brigand's cave to Zep
plins! Ztpplins and Brigands’ Caves!
'Tis a glorious world in which we live!
From tiie Cave of Robbers we des
cended by a much steelier and shorter
route to our charabanc, ami were off
through oilier stretches of forest to!
Barbizon—Uie artist's Paradises Here!
we laid two hours for luncheon, which |
two hours we improved by tramps j
both before and after lunch. Barhizon
is a long, uorrow town with some very!
ordinary and some other very attract-1
ive houses, with a ijuaim little chapel,
with houses that were once the homes
of the artists Kouseau and .Millet, of
Diaz. Ziern, and liarye. Near the
••hapel we discovered the most friendly
Persian cat we have met in our wan
derings. She understood our Ameri
e.mese perfectly when we told her
what a beautiful cat she was, she was,
and, 1 think, might have been willing
t«* accompany us had we been sailing
for America the next day.
After luncheon under the trees, we
wandered off to see the boulder on
which lias been placed a medallion of
Rousseau and Millet in lias-relief, a
very heauMfiU ami very effective mon
ument to. then* memory. And then we
were off for many other miles of for
est. with a stop now and then, the plan
being to reach the Chateau of Fon
tainebleau at Just live o’clock. 1 re
trail that we stopped by u little lake
that we felt Rousseau must have
painted. At smother time we drove
by a unique piece of forest, in which
the trees, for the mast part, were in
clumps of two or three or four; but I
was too much taken up with the un
usualness and the beauty of the
stretch to notice the variety of the
tree, which it is quite as likely as not
l would not havo been able to name,
if I had thought about the matter*
The forest of Fontainebleau has
many charms, not tho least*of which
is Its patches of such different kinds
of woods. There were beech forots
and oak forests, long stretches of trees
with mistletoe clinging to them, and
others with ivy concealing their trunks;
there wore bits of wood with the un
dergrowth all cleared away; and oth
ers in which it made veritable thickets.
Along about four we began to tire,
and to wish that the Chateau were
near instead of an hour off. Then we
left the forest for a while to drive a
dozen miles, perhaps, through open
country, coming at last to a little
town of whose name up to that mo
ment we had never heard—Montlgny.
Here we were taken by the chauffeur
to the middle of the single bridge that
spans the little river that flows through
the town. But he did not need to bid
us to look up the stream; for there
before us, almost at our feet, was the
most lovely framed picture we had
seen in all that fair land. On our right,
as we looked, were siutety trees; on
the left were other trees, not so high
but graceful and beautiful: and ho-
I tween was the little French town
climbing up the hillside, from the riv
er's brink, and crowned sit the top with
a little church of perfect proportions.
In the nearer distance was the swift
ly flowing stream. It is hardly wise
to use superlatives of any French
seem* —you are so sure to. need them
again, the next day or the next week.
But here itefore us was a town unique
ly framed, glimpse of which was
worth all the cost of our hundred-mile
drive.
The palace of Fontainebleau we duly
entered as the clock was striking five.
Built at different periods, though most
ly by Francis I and Henry IV, and
covering a great (leal of ground, It is
disapiminting In its exterior liccnuse
of its low height. "Tis hut two stories
high. Rut what it lacks in height it
makes up in the gorgeousness of its
interior and of its furnishings. It was
i the favorite residence of the First Na
poleon: and the apartment of that em
peror and those of Marie Antoinette,
together with much of their furniture
and many other things of historic in
terest. are shown to the visitor. Rut
we. I fear, had been almost sated with
sight-seeing since morning; with our
Brigands’ Caves and unique stretches
of forest and Montlgny, we had but a
moderate amount of enthusiasm left
for the centuries of history that were
stored up in the sumptuous rooms of
the Chateau, and even less for the
beautiful grounds outside, in which we
strolled for a little while.
With not enough timo left us to
dine, wo had a lunch out of doors and
ample time for the purchnse of pic
tures of the scenes of the day. Some
thing after eight we took train for
Baris, and by 9:30 were again Jn our
our room at the Palais Roy Al.

ROLAND MORRIS TALKS
ON AMERICAN COLLEGE
Former Ambassador to Japan Is
Interested in Campaign for
' Greater Penn State
Roland S. Morris, former Ambassa
dor to Japan during the year 1917
visited Penn State last Tuesday after
noon. During his brief stay he gave
a short talk to students and faculty
members in Old Chapel In which he
discussed the present growth of the
American college.
President Thomas welcomed Mr.
Morris to State College, and expressed
ills regret that an earlier notification
of ills arrival could not be made to the
entire student body,,. .In his remarks
the ambassador. Uilil of. a similar entn
paign which was ;Lecture'by J»lB-ijV/n
university, Prineet. —— . larger,in
stitution sufih Tts -L-v*?f iff conducted
at Penn State.''
He spoke of the greater number of
'men who are seeking college educa
tion. and the need for a wholehearted
interest to be shown by the present
student body and the alumni. Coming
from Philadelphia, whore, he said, “a
great interest is being manifested in
this struggle for a greater Penn State”
there is a vivid example*of the fight
for education. The same conditions
exist at The University of Pennsylvan
ia and are also prominent at Columbia
University in New York City.
"In the effort which the University
of Pennsylvania is making to take care
of the great number of men who are
attending that institution, there is al
so a great burden placed upon its
supporters, and these young men and
alumni must go forth with no thought
of personal or individual gain. The
upward growth- of 'any college must
bring forth a sense of public service
to he rendered by the individual.’’
Aside from a few words of greeting
to the students of Penn State he said:
“Agricultural education in Japan has
advanced very extensively, in some
respects in advance of us. It was
started wholly by Americans who, fif
ty years ago. went to establish the
first agricultural coltege there, and
to Introduce and vary the products of
tho Japanese Empire.
"It was the Americans who taught
the Japanese the advanced methods
of handling the silk worm, which Is
now one of the largest Industries that
Japan lias. This Industry draws ap
proximately thirty millions of dol
lars annually front the Uuited States,
and is used by Japan largely in the
purchase of cotton from our southern
states.
••This Incident has its lesson.” Am
bassador Morris said, “for If you go
out to create other helpful conditions
it works like ’casting bread upon the
waters’, it comes back to you.”
COLLEGE HAS PERMANENT
PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE
Circumstances havo called for a per
manent fire fighting organization in
State College, and, accordingly, tho
College now has enrolled as firemen a
number of- its regular employes. Tho
hazard of fire during the vacation
periods has made this imperative.
These newly installed firemen are
at work in conjunction with the stu
dent volunteer fire fighters who have,
in the past, demonstrated their will
ingness to combat the flames.
Last year there were enrolled sixty
or seventy students in the volunteer
corps, but all of these men were not
available at all times. The need of
equipment with which to successfully
fight si large lire is lacking at the pres
ent time. One drawback is that the
present apparatus is of too narrow a
gauge to permit rapid conveyance to
the scene of the fire.
The outlook for additional equip
ment consisting of a mounted pumper
and chemical and hose wagons is very
promising. This equipment may come
in the form of a presentation to the
College by a manufacturing concern.
STATE INDUSTRIES MAKE
MANY GIFTS TO ENGINEERS
The apparatus of the Engineering
Department has recently been aug
mented by gifts from many concerns
of the state. Among these gifts is an
assembled rear axle for an automobile
from the Sheldon Axle and Spring
Company of Wilkes-Barre. Accom
panying this gift there were also four
Springs which bring out the difference
in spring construction os used in dif
ferent makes of cars.
From the Zenith Carburetor Com
pany there was received a sectional
model of one of the latest types of
carburetor. The York Manufacturing
Company has presented to the college
a standard, double cylinder ammonia
compressor. This machine, which was
prepared by Mr. Thomas Shipley, the
General Manager of the company is
so set up that all working parts can
bo seen. The actions of the pistons
and valves may be observed and stud
ied when the compressor la being run
by a motor. ■

The schedule which is to he used this
year will be iMisted on the bulletin
board In the gymnasium and will also
appeur in a future issue of the COL
LEGIAN. certain games not having

DAIRY HUSBANDRY CLUB
PLANS ACTIVE SEASON
The Dairy Husbandry Club is plan
ning to hold several meetings (luring
the second semester. Although defi
nite plans have not been made, they
have decided to hold the first meeting
early in February, at which time Mr.
Coliee will give a short lecture on
dairying; illustrated by moving pic
tures of the Pettq State and other
, large herds in the state. Mr. Cohee is
a member of the Philadelphia Inter-
state Dairy Council and an authority
on this subject. It has also been plan
ned to have prominent men, in both the
production of milk and tho manufac
ture of dairy products, such sis ice
cream ami butter, speak at these meet
ings. Tho number of meetings de
pends upon how many speakers can be
secured. These men will present the
poKslbiiites in this line of work, and
also give such criticism as will ho of
benefit to the young man.
Tito Club aims to provide a small
fund to send judging teams to the
leading shows. Last fall a team was
scut to the Springfield Stock Show,
but the lack of funds did not warrant
tho sending of a team to the Inter
national Stock Show at Chicago. A
smnii amount of money was raised on
Pennsylvania Day, but it was insuffi
cient to meet tho expenses. This
spring they are planning to havo
stands at various places on the cam
pus on Father's Day and on Memorial
Day.

DISTANCE MEN FINISH
A MEDIOCRE SEASON
Prospects Are Bright for a Strong
Cross Country Squad
in 1923
With the Intercofiegiates at Van
Cortlandt Park In t-Vew York last Nov
ember, Penn State finished the cross
country season of 1922—a season
marked neither by extraordinarily good
running nor by unusually poor distance
work. At the end of the 1922 season,
the Lion lost Coach ••Bill’’ Martin who
had sojourned in the Xittany valley
since 1913, with the exception of his
service in the war. and acquired
“Niito” Cartmell from West Virginia,
as coach of track and cross country
squads. Cartmell arrived at Penn
Statu this week and has already be
gun to prepare for the coming season
of track. By his good nature, his
likable personality and his worth as a
coach. "Nate" has already begun to
establish himself firmly in the good
will of his proteges.
The first meet entered by Penn State
last fail was the Intercollegiate Invi
tation meet tit Syracuse. This con
test was won by Columbia, while the
Mon came in fourth.
On Pennsylvania Day. the Plaid
runners Journeyed to the Xittany val
ley from Pittsburgh, to match their
skill against the Blue and White in
the annual Dual Meet. In this en
counter the Lion came off victorious,
while on the same day the Penn State
frosh won the Junior Cross Country
Race in Altoona, acquiring the Uon's
Club trophy and outstripping even the
varsity runners from Pitt.
.. Both the varsity and freshmen
teams entered the Intercolleglates in
Xew York on the twenty- seventh of
Xovomher. Although the varsity fail
ed to rank any higher than ninth at
(he finish of the race, the yearlings
won the special intercollegiate race for
freshmen, Shipley, of Penn State be
ing first to finish. The members of
! the freshmen team received medals.
On account of tho high quality of
the 1926 cross country runners, Coach
Cartmell should have little trouble in
turning out a squad of distance men
of unusually high calibre for the 1923
season. Among others who expect to
compete for berths on tho cross coun
try team next fall are Shipley ’26,
Barkeley '26, Oldfield '26, Chandres
'26, Batchelor ‘26, Arm '26, Rathbun
*26. Guyer *26, Loy ‘25, Decker ‘24
Horton '25 (Captain-elect). Hamilton
‘24 and Wendler '24.
In the recent Merchants' Meet.
Shipley won the time prize, while
Fisher won first and Markle won sec
ond. The contest was an amateur
handicap meet, and it is to bo noted
that the second string men w*ere de
cidedly the winners, and many who
had faited to win numerals last fall
captured prizes in the handicap meet.
Tho affair was engineered by Mana
ger T. S. Goyne ’24 and Captain S. C.
Enek '24. whio prizes were donated
by the merchants of the town, as fol
lows: Xittany Theatre, fifteen com
plimentary tickets: “Co-op''. Duofold

THE LETTER BOX
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT
IMPERSONATES FRESHMAN
With a swagger that was not at all
becoming to a typical college fresh
man one of the local high school stu
dents posed as a freshman last Sat
urday evening. With arctics wide
open, coat unbuttoned and the celes
tial dink at a rakish angle he saun
tered into the movies. Every college
custom was broken when he was later
seen with a member of the fairer sex.
This sham was brought to an intol
erable climax when he started to smoke
a cigarette on co-op.
When questioned by members of the
upper classes he made no remon
strance as to his actions, but simply
stated that he was so performing in
order to win a quarter bet! He was
quickly given to understand that he j
must remove the sacred dink, and to
make himself scarce.
This young man has received ample
publicity as a result of his conduct,
and has been so chiddcd front' various
sources that ho now realizes the mis
take that he made. Without doubt he
will be well remembered if ever he
enters the freshman class of the col
lege.
DR. SPARKS LECTURES
ON “DANIEL WEBSTER”
Former Prexy Gives Keen Insight
Into Life and Work of
Great American
In the first of the scries of lectures
of the Liberal Arts Lecture Course
given last Tuesday evening in Old
Chapel. Dr. E. E. Sparks spoke in his
usual interesting manner on “Daniel
Webster". As everyone knows. Dr.
Sparks is a speaker of no little abil
ity nnd he again proved the fact be
fore a large audience Tuesday even
ing.
Bringing in throughout his iccturo
choice bits of humor and many well
chosen illustrations, Dr. Sparks
stressed the point that Daniel Web
stor was one of our great Americans.
He was by profession a lawyer, but
more, a great statesman, and a defend
er of the Constitution of the United
States. As a boy, Webster was sickly
and in general ill-health, but as he
grew Into manhood he developed a
magnificent figure, overtowering the
average man. In his earlior days he
was unable to attend school due to
sickness. He gradually built himself
up into a powerful physique however,
and later graduated from Dartmouth
College. He then began the practice
of law and was very successful al
though he had no idea of business af
fairs. With wonderful ability to pick
up knowledge he assimilated every
thing he touched. Webster was a born
leader with n high moral standard.
Said Dr. Sparks, “Daniel Webster
was magnificently endowed". In the
first place he had a beautiful form?
face and figure: In the second place,
an exceptional memory; and in the

third place, a keen imagination: not
ordinary imagination, but that which
touches up the little things which con
stitute life.
But Webster was destined to higher
things than the life of an attorney.
If It had not been for this great states
man. Hayne's speech in the Senate
would have lived forever: but U was
ovcrstiadowed by Webster’s. From this
time on Webster was looked upon as
the preserver of the Union, although
a little later he mado his memorable
; speech in Congress on this subject, he
lost, perhaps unjustly, more or less of
his great popularity. In signifying his
Intention to vote for the Fugitive Stave
I-aw. he showed great foresight and
loyalty to his country although it
could not be appreciated at the time.
In the last presidential campaign
before the Civil War. Webster ran for
the presidency but before the time of
election approached he passed into th»-
Great Beyond and is now revered nnd
honored as «?no of the greatest of
Americans.
S7OOO PLEDGED TO “Y” IN
RECENT COLLEGE DRIVE
The Penn State Y. M. C. A. express
es great satisfaction over the results
of the recent drive for funds to car
ry on the work of the organization.
Over four thousand dollars was given
in cash, and pledges for about thirty
two hundred dollars, making a total of
over seven thousand dollars.
Immediately after the close of the
drive a check for one thousand dol
lars Wits sent to the New York head
quarters for work in Russin. As the
pledges are paid the money will be dis
tributed pro rata as estimated on a
