In Reviewing Rec<
New Hampshi
The fact that Dr. "Ralph Dorn Hct-i
fed Is‘to take the presidency of Penn
State has created considerable com
ment throughout the states most def
initely affected by his action. New
Hampshire papers and journals in
neighboring states make much of the
loss of that'State university in con
gratulating Pennsylvania, while col
umnists of the latter state are loud
In proclaiming a new era for Penn
sylvania State College.
In an editorial entitled "A Lass to
New Hampshire,” the Boston Tram
ertpt goes into great detail concern
ing the work of Dr Hetzel at New
Hampshire and the difficulties which
he met and overcame when he took
his former position with that institu
tion nine years ago. .president Hct
rel, the editorial goes on, looked be
yond the interest of the university to
matters of community Welfare and
accordingly the institution gained
much favor among the citizens and
the government of the state
The New Hampshire College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts grew
to be New Hampshire university un
der his care and was put on a defi
nitely firm basis by its undertakings
for the common good Dr Hetzel
made provision that this university
should not be hindered in its growth
by a lack of sufficient state appro
priations.
The closost friends of Dr. Hetzel be
lieved his program to be impossible
When ho drew up an initial outline
of. activities on his appointment at
New. Hampshire. However, in spite
of great odds, he achieved his pur
pose'and went far beyond the duty
that was expected of him.
The' Transcript finishes this col
umn-long editorial 1 by granting Dr
Hetzel apt' excuse for his resignation

much wider ’ field ‘ in'" Pennsylvania.
New Hampshire is one of the, small
states and therefore the university
fs limited in its growth. However,
New Hampshire realizes that it has
had'the benefit of nine years of Dr.
Hetzel’s best work.
. Leading papers in Harrisburg,
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh have
written editorials acclaiming this aus
picious event in the history of Penn
State. In these journals, too, atten
tion is called to the work of Di. Het
fcel in his former position and veiy
favorable prophecies are made in the
future.

Library Activities
Greatly Increased
Since First Founded
“General Beaver, I hand you this
key. Take it, sir, from one who loves
Pennsylvania, who loves the State
College of Pennsylvania, who loves
the people of the United States and
who would serve them nil well.”
Thus spoke Andrew J. Carnegie on
November eighteenth, 1904, as he for
mally presented the Carnegie Library
to Penn State through Geneinl Beav
er, president of the Boaid of Trustees.
Seven Hundred Students
Penn State at that lime boasted
seven hundred students The library
was much the same as we see it now—
n white stone, tlucc story building.
Tho building itself has changed but
little. The activities, however, have
increased immensely. At the end of
the 1925-2 G term, the library con
tained 91, 937 volumes. Of this num
ber 54,837 books wore loaned to 3,387
students. In addition to this 11,625
