New College Library Will Provide
For Future Needs, Lewis Reveals
Careful preparation with a view to
the future of Penn’ State is the policy
to be pursued in compiling plans for a
new library building, according to
Willard P. Lewis, College librarian.
“One of the greatest mistakes _made
in tho erection of college and univer
sity library structures in recent years
has been the. failure of the builders
to provide for future development of
tho. institution, which necessitates a
corresponding expansion of library
facilities,” said Mr. Lewis.. “Plans
how under formation for a new Col
lego library will provide for future as
well as present needs.”
.A study of the library'requirements
of tho College covering the subjects of
faculty and. student needs, curricula
and course demands, and collections
of library, books and material is now
under way; and will.be 'considered by
each of the four committees assigned
to the librarian said; Dean
Charles-W. Stoddart of the School of
Liberal Art 3, and William S. Hoffman,
College registrar,' are cooperating in
compiling this preliminary data.'
Seven fundamental aims will be con
sidered by tho committees in planning
for a new building, according to Mr.
Lewis. Fundamentally the groups will
plan for.a structure which.will serve
the entire faculty and' student body,
with a secondary purpose of serving
ihe community' of State College and
the entire State.’

tistic and cultural interests of the fac
ulty and students by means of recre
ational reading rooms, exhibitions of
books, prints and art objects, and the
safe keeping of book and manuscript
treasures, are listed as other aims of
the new building.
' “It.is our belief that a careful prep
aration-for a new.building is just as
important at the present time as is
the raising of funds necessary for its
erection,” Mir. Lewis explained. “When
we have completed satisfactory plans,
we will be in a position to seek suit
able financial arrangements.”
Potato Barrel
Emptied at Each
Mac Hall Dinner
Imagine eating a barrel of potatoes
at one' meal! -Sounds gluttonous, but
that’s what the co-eds do each time
they sit down to dinner at McAllister
hall,. Mrs. Edith M. Johnson, super
visor'of the commons,' has revealed.
Twenty gallons of coffee disappear
each night, and every day twenty
four loaves of bread, each as long as
an average person’s arm, go the way
of • all dough.. Every time canned
vegetables appear on the table, it
means there are 'three crates less of
said greens -in the store room.
'' Ice cream is by far the most popu
lar dessert with • tapioca - pudding at
the tail end of the list. Lettuce is
absolutely the bane of the co-ed’s ex
istence, and that’s where the fifty
waiters and kitchen workers go them
one better. The stronger sex relishes
its vitamin J A according to Mrs. John
son. •
.' The girls must find it hard to climb
out of bed in the morning, for there
aro. rarely more than 170 out to
breakfast as contrasted with the 350
who bring their appetites to luncheon.

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
Around
The
Corner
“Education is emancipation from
herd opinion, self mastery, capacity
for self-criticism, suspended judg
ment, and urbanity,” writes Everett
Dean Martin in his book The Meaning
of a Liberal Education. Those few who
are enrolled in our colleges for edu
cational purposes often wonder.to
what end they are striving; when con
fronted with a definition of education,
there is somo basis for entertaining a
skeptical attitude toward our present
system of mass-education, with its
traditions, barriers, and curriculum
requirements.
A. J. Nock, in his book The Theory
of Educatifm in the United. States, says
this concerning intelligence: “The
person of intelligence is the one who
always tends to ‘see things as’ they
arc,* the one who never permits his
view of things to be directed by con
vention, by the hope of advantage, or
by irrational- or arbitrary authoritari
anism. He allows the current of his
consciousness to flow in perfect free
dom over any object that may be pre
sented to it, uncontrolled by preju
dice, prepossession, or formulae.”
Is -there anyone who could be so
brazen as to say that our present the
ory of education is conducive to these
ends? If education and the develop
ment of intelligence is the end and
aim of a college career, then our pres
ent system, with its organization and
mass theories, is a hopeless failure.—
