In explaining his policy, Mr. Lewis shows how top equal functions be long to a college binary. The one has to do with auppottmg the cur riculum and promoting research. It fills the gaps between the students' studies and provides the maer a! for original wotk in extending the bounds of knowledge The second function of n library is solely to provide works for gencial Lultute reading, in the GLEE CLUB BEGINS CONCERT TOUR OF STATE ON MONDAY To Enter Intercollegiate Contest In Philadelphia Thursday At Music Academy WILL COMPETE WITH 7 PENNSYLVANIA SCHOOLS Director Grant Selects 31 for Harrisburg,'Elkins Park, Ardmore Recitals With the annual intmcollegiate contest at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia as a climax, th-. 2 Penn State Glee club will open a four-day concert,tout of the State Monday, ap pearing at Harrisburg in its fast en gagement, Following the initial conceit, the gleemen will sing at Elkins Park Tuesday night and at Ardmore the following night The club mill take part in the State inteicollegiate con test Thursday, se,king to regain the title which was lost to Lafayette List year Scion other Pennsylvania colleges mill compete in the Philadelphia con cert, this numbet including Lafayette, Franklin and Marshall, Juniata, West Chester State Teachers' College, Mot. avian, HayedOrd and the University of Pennsylvania.
