State Feature Event
' Plans for renewing the State cham
pionship interscholastic track and
field meet Amid spring, and tying up
with it an interscholastic golf and
tennis tournament, involving about
1,000 high school athletes, were
launched Saturday at a meeting of
the track committee of the Pennsyl
vania Interscholastic Athletic associ
ation.
The entire tournament will be un
derwritten by the College and will be
held here on May 25. The track meet
was abandoned two years ago be
cause of the expense involved. The
tennis and golf championships are
new this year. Additional plans to
hold a state championship swimming
meet an this date were abandoned
because "the date is too late in the
•
swimming season."
24 Events, 2 Classes
The cream of the state's schoolboy
athletes-816 of them—will 'assemble
in the Nittany Lions' backyard for
the track and field championships.
Two of the best seen in each event
will be sent here from each of the
state's' twelve districts. There are
thirteen events in Class ,A and eleven
in Class B.
The College, since . it is subsidizing
the meet, will name the officials and
supply medals and trophies. Gold,
silver and bronze medals will be
awarded the relay teams winning in
each ars& Class A will hold a mile
relay, while the distance will be a half

Science, Religion
Alike, Hart Says
Tells of Tests Proving Mental
Telepathy, Clairvoyance
Made by Scientist.
"Religions have to do with, the es
tablishing of creative relations be
tween man and same God. Since sci
ence attempts to establish just such
relations between man and the world
about him, 'we may say that science
is a religion and that reality is its
God."
This was the idea advanced by Dr.
Hornell Hart, professor of social eth
ics at Hartford Theological Seminary,
Hartford, Conn., speaking for the
first time in chapel Sunday morning.
In , comparing science to religion,
the speaker pointed out that each has
its priesthood, its martyrs, and its
prophets and iconoclasts, Most reli
gions, Dr. Hart continued, have an
incarnate 'God; with science the in
carnation of reality is Truth.
Quotes Psychology Book
"Religions tend to
,ossify,and die,"
he said, "unless' new, prophets appear
apd, challenge - , the . dogma that , .the
priesthood;
,has,! spt—u p..
deterted
or shattered..,: , 'Me, same. danger. is
preSent in science. .Certain dogmatic
scientistatodapmefitse to believe that
I:mirth:Mg exists unless they cam prove
that it' does."
' Ai an exitinple. of this, 'the' speaker
cited is 'recently published book' by
Dr. J.B. Rhine, associate professor
of psychology siCDuke University, en
titled "Extra-Sensory ' Perceptions."
In it the author proves by scientific
tests that mind can work upon mind
at a distance. If these theories are
correct, Dr. Hart believes that the
last defeat wilt be suffered by the
mechanists.
"Religion," the speaker said in con
clusion, "can be built upon the state
ment, 'We will follow the Truth
wherever it takes us.' Upon such a
platform religion and science can
unite and move into a new type of
world."
In an interview following his ad
dress, Dr. Hart explained some de
tails regarding the experiments of
Dr. Rhine. ' t More than 90,000 experi
ments were made in which certain
subjects guessed the identity of cards.
These were placed face down on a
table in one case and pictured in the
mind of a 'sender' in the other. In
every case ..the percentage guessed
correctly was 'much higher than the

With this query Froth answers in

In a full-page article parodying

back at the !'stultifying attitude" of
a Lampoon editorial, that asked anent
the Harlow appointment, "Where is

scores the Crimson for its "sheltered
ignorance and contempt" of Penn

"the colleges of somewhat shady

An exhibit of stamps from all over
the world opened Friday in the ex

the Carnegie library and will con

The exhibit, which is open to the pub
lic every day from 2 until 10 o'clock,
is sponsored by the local organiza
tion of stamp collectors 'and includes
show pieces from many faculty col
lections.
Local interest is added to the'exhib
it by a group of "first-flight covers,"
as they are called by collectors. They
are envelopes carried on the 'first
flight made by the air mail service
from Bellefonte .and have since be
come rareties. They are included in
a set of first-day and first-flight cov
ers exhibited by Prof. Thomas W. Ma
son, of the department of chemistry.
Unusual exhibits are the stampless
letters, carried by mail before post
age stamps were issued in the United
States; a copy of the first postage
stamp in the world, issued by Great
Britain in 1840; and a 'copy ,of the
first United States stamp, issued in

Because of the fact that the action
in "Counsellor-at-Law," next produc

place in the two offices of George Si

quick changes of set from the outer

could be made. Under the system to
be used, only half of the stage will
be in play at one time.

Some of tfie finest examples of the
art of stamp making, according to
