tion.
The main purpose of the Byrd Ant
arctic Expedition was to explore and
photograph for scientific purposes un
explored Antarctic regions. It is es
timated that in the two years that
were spent in Little America, 160,000
square miles were surveyed-by aerial
camera. The total, distance flown by
the explorers was about 7,100 miles.
Flew to Paris
Although the most important ac
complishment of the expedition was
the successful flight to the South Pole
and back to the base at Little Amer
ica, a number of oceanographic obser
vations were made between the Ross
Shelf Ice and New Zealand , In addi
tion to the plane which was used to
navigate over the South Pole a
smaller plane was taken for explora
tion purposes.
Admiral Byrd iecently announced
that he would sponsor another expedi
tion to the Antarctic us the near future
with the hope of making more contri
butions to science. In addition to his
South Pole flight, Admiral Byrd was

retary Adrian 0. Morse traced the
College's attitude on this matter over
the past two years in an interview
yesterday
President Hetzel, in speaking be
fore the Association of College Pres
idents of Pennsylvania in Hatusbuig
Friday, commented on the eastward
trend of junior colleges and proposed
the question for joint consideration
by the association members Follow
ing some discussion, forty of the col
, lege presidents Noted as not favoring
junior colleges
"For the past few years, the Col
lege has been approached at various
times by high schools in the State who
desire to have Penn State establish a
Junior college in their school system,"
Mr. Morse said "The matter was an
entirely new one, so investigation was
necessary.
"Research was carried on to deter
li mine the merits of junior colleges in
general and the desirability of hosing
such a project in the cities which had
made ieguests The results of this
research were reported to officials lust
year."

LEWIS RATES GOOD RESEARCH Lli
IN HOLDING, SECURING VALUAB
College Librarian' Belie
Curricular, Cu
"A good research library is one of
the biggest temptations a college can
offer to keep its good professors and
to attract more of high grade to its
staff," Willard P. Lewis, College
librarian, believes.
With this thought in mind, Mr.
Lewis, as the moulder of the Carnegie
library policy, Is placing as much em
piresrs on building an such n research
library us he is on adding to the
shelves books purely of cultural In
terest.
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
