BULLETIN
Governor Pinchot signed the
Penn State $4,000,000 bill for main
tenance late Friday afternoon, al
though he cut the additional $814,-
781 for building alterations to
$120,000, making the total sum ap
propriated $4,120,000.
Passed unanimously by both
houses of the Legislature, a bill
appropriating $4)844,781 to the
College for general maintenance
during the next two years is
now pending action of Governor
Gifford Pinchot. The bill is
nearly a million dollars more
than the usual maintenance ap
propriation.
Four million dollars of the sum is
planned for maintenance of all the
schools and departments, including
instruction, research, and extension
work. The remainder is an additional
amount for the erection of now build
ings, and the enlargement, improve
ment, or alteration of existing build
ings. The increase will also be used
for building equipment and furnish
ings, and the necessary extension of
electric, water stream and sewage
servied lines, if,* in -the judgment of
the trustees such improvements are
warranted.
Governor Pinchot vetoed on
Wednesday a bill providing the Col
lege with $20,000 for experimentation
and rcseaich with tobacco The Gov
ernor apparently wanted this sum to
be included as part of the regular
maintenance

Students on Bob Sleds Enrolled for J
Pioneer Summer Classes in 1859
Although Penn State’s Summer
Session no a distinct college period
is only twenty-two years old today,
the first students to enroll at the
College in 1859 wet 9 summer stu
dents, and the present classes are no
more than a reversion to old customs
The sixty-nine students who nrnv
ed at Penn State on bob-sled* as the
first freshman class in February, 1869
would scarcely have termed them
selves summer students, yet they fill
ed the role as well as the 3600 regis
trants expected today.
For six years after the beginning
of Penn State as a Farmer’s High
School, the school term cxtendec
from February until December. In
18G6 n two*term college year was in
augurated, with semesters from
February 28 until July 18, and from
that date until December 5
Gradually the vacation between
terms was lengthened, until for the
first time in 1875 a recess similar to
that of today was given. With the
cycle of years, courses have been ‘

SUMMER PLAYERS
TO HOLD TRYOUTS
Trials Scheduled for Tomorrow
Night—Will Present ‘The
Haunted House*
A mystery play, "The Haunted
House’’ by Owen Davis will be the
production to be presented by the
Summer Session Players July 22 un
der the direction of Frank S. Neus
baum, associate director of the Penn
State Players. 1
Preliminary tryouts for the mys
tery drama for both mpn'and women
students will be held from 7 until 9
[ o’clock tomorrow night in the Little
Theatre, 5 Old Main According to
Mr Ncusbaum no previous acting ex
perience is necessary, and there are
some particularly good parts in "The
j Haunted House” for male characters.
{ To Exhibit Stagecraft Work
Owen Davis, author of more than
300 Broadway shows, is now in Hol
lywood writing original screen stor
ies. His son is following in his fa
ther’s footsteps and at present is un
dertaking journalistic work in con
j ncction with the theatre “The Dono-
I van Affair,” another Davis play, was
produced by the Players for their
Mothir’s Day performance last
•month
One act plays -vill probably be
enacted by Summer Session dramatic
classes eaily'in August, and m con
junction with this program, stage
ciaft work accomplished by students
during the term will piobably be
placed on exhibition Previous sum
mer plays produced by the Players
are “Meet the Wife” and "Mr. Laz
arus ”
the College now runs almost the en
tire year.
The similarity between summer stu
dents seventy-five years ago and those
of today ceases with the fact that
both attended classes during July,
however. In those early days students
rose at 5 o'clock each morning, and
began their study or work before G
o’clock. Their school lasted until 6
o’clock at night, and all lights were
out before 10 o’clock.
Old Main housed the entire college
in 1869, being gradually built and
enlarged by the students themselves,
who divided their time between class
work and mnnual labor in the fields
and around the buildings The reason
for a school year extending over the
summer was found m the outdoor
work originally required.
Until 188 G, dormitories, classrooms
and administrative offices alike were
contained in the one structure In
that building for mechanical
arts was built, and shortly uftcr other
structures appeared to care for the
I rapidly expanding College.
