I. C. Finance Committee, Student
Board Sanction Signing of •
Five-Year Contract
LEASING COST SET AT.
$1.75 FOR EACH OUTFIT
Agreement Result of Intensive
Investigation of Costs
By Special Group
A reduction of seventy-five cents a
person in the rental fee for caps and
gowns was effected through a five
year contract sanctioned by Student
Board and the Inter-class Finance
committee. The rental cost was set
at $1.75 per outfit.
The garments will be furnished by
' Cottrell and Leonard, an academic
costume company of Philadelphia.
The contract with the company was
signed by John T. Ryan jr. '34, presi
dent of Student Board, Jacob R.
Stark '3I, chairman of the Inter-class
Finance committee, and Neil M. Flem
ing, graduate member of the commit
tee.
$1.75 Quoted As Minimum
The agreement was the result of
-an intensive investigation of rental
costs by a 'student committee. In
1932 the•rental fee was $2.55, while
lust year the cost was $2.25 a perium.
The reduction was made possible by'
the elimination of the regular sales
man's commission, with all the ar
rangements I•eing made directly with
the company.
Under the conditions of the present :
N. -11. A. code of fair competition, the
price ofsl.7s,quoted in the contract

tract specifies, however, that the Col
lege will receive full benefit in the
event that the minimum price is low
ered in this State.
. According to the agreement, a Teg
ular sales commission of fifteen per
cent will be paid to the student coin-
Mittee who will serve as agents. The
duties of the committee will include
the taking of orders,, measurements,
distribution, and other matters which
must be handled locally.
'This commission will amount to
twenty-six cents per outfit, and will
be paid directly by the company out
of the $1.75 paid by the students,"
Ryan explained. "The commission
was decided upon in an effort to pro
vide a fair and equitable payment for
the services rendered by The commit
tee in handl:rig the garments for the
company."
TSCHAN DISCUSSES
ART OF BERNWARD
Third L. A. Lecturer Says Eleventh
Century Churchman Preached
Gospel Through Art Work
"Instead of preaching, Bernward,
Bishop of Ilildesheim church during
the eleventh century, relied upon his
art to get his message to the people."
Dr. Francis J. Tschan, professor in
the department of history, said in an
illustrated Liberal Arts lecture given
in the Home Economics aduituriunt
Tuesday night.
'Bmmw•ard made his entire church
into an intricate nit, work. lie cast
much of his work in bronze, and was
the first person to ever cast a door
in bronze relief, Dr: Tschan pointed
out. lie said that the bishop tried
to get three things into his pictures;
simplicity, action, and an educational
theme.
His outstanding piece of work was
a bronze door eighteen feet high,
with reliefs of Biblical scenes. Dr.
Tschun interpreted these reliefS as
lessons which the bishop wanted to
get to his people. He said that the
door was 'placed in the vestibule og
ed not pass. These pictures were. to
the church, beyond which sinners dm
remind these sinners with the grave
ness of their wrong-doings and show
, ed them the way to gain atonement.
Dr. Francis M. Swartz, professor
in the department of Mineralogy, will
give the fourth Liberal Arts lecture
on "Fossils, the Footsteps of Crea
tion." In his speech he will discuss
the vast changes in the geography
of land and sea as illustrated by the
character and occurrence of the fos
sil remains in the ancient rocks of
the State College region.
