Freshman Autograph Collector
Carries. 'Jinx' to Many Signers
Two days before his death in 1932,
Sir Thomas Lipton, famous British
yachtsman and grand uld contender
for the American cup, sat down and
signed his autograph for Richard C.
Walton '3B. It was, most probably,
the last autograph granted by Sir
Thomas.
Three (lays before Knute Recline of
Notre Dame football fame was killed
In the wreck of a passenger plane in
1932, he sent Walton his autograph.
Others whose autographs Walton re
ceived within a short time of their
death—within a month to be exact--
were John Philip Sousa, America's
March King; William Howard Taft,
President of the United States, and
Supreme Court Justice; and Edward
Buk, philanthropist and publisher.
Ths doubtful record has not in
jured Walton's autograph collecting
reputation, although the Lipton case
received several comments in metro
politan newspapers. The more than
one hundred autographs which make
.up his collection include all the Su
preme Court Justices now seated but
Benjamin N. Cartlozo and Willis Van
DeVenter; President Franklin a
Roosevelt and ex-President Calvin
Coolidge and his wife; Edward M.
Stanton, secretary of war in Lincoln's
cabinet, which autograph was pre
sented to him; twelve authors, in
cluding John Galsworthy and Octa
vos Roy Cohen, six cinema actors
and Kathryn Cornell of stage fame,
and Felix Von Lackner whose daring
exploits on the high seas in a sail
boat during the World War still make

Annett, contest chairman, has an-.

225, Engineering D.
The Casa Loma orchestra holds the
record for appearances at college and
university functions. Presenting new
ideas in band organization as well as
in new arrangements of dance
rhythms, the orchestra has made or
iginality the keynote of its popular
ity.
Decorations for the Prom will fol
low an oriental motif. Colored hang
ing lights will blend with hangings
to produce an eastern scene. Scenery
will be erected by a Philadelphia sce
nic design company, which has fur
nished sets for several previous
dances here.
Hunter To Give First
Of Priestley Lectures
The first lecture in the ninth an
nual' PrieHtley:LeeturcSelles milt-be'
given in the Chemistry 'Amphitheatre
Monday night at 7:30 o'clock. The
tat:lc of the lecture is -"Reactions An
the Liquid State,? and will deal with
various types of furnaces and the re
fining of alloys.
Prof. Matthew A. Hunter, profes
sor of
,electrochemistry and head of
the department of physics and elec
trical engineering at Rensselaer Poly
technic Institute, will be the speaker.
The lectures have become one of the
most important technical events on
the campus and have won wide rec
ognition through their quality and the.,
names of the speakers.
The series is but a part of the
Penn State memorial to Joseph
Priestley whose old home in North
umberland Was bought by alumni of
the department of chemistry and pre
served, along with many Priestley
relics which are housed in a museum
erected near the home. The faculty
inaugurated the lecture series in 1026
as their part of the memorial. The
series was taken over financially by
Phi Lambda Upsilon, honorary chem
ical society, in 1931.
interesting reading.
Walton, in telling of his collecting,
laughed over the habit of Dan Beard,
Chief of the Boy Scouts of America,
who signs his autograph always on
a pamphlet advertising his books.
Kathryn Hepburn sent her picture,
but seemingly forgot to autograph it,
while ex-President Hoover will not
send out autographs. Thomas A. Ed
ison found his time intruded upon
by autograph seekers and had cards
printed stating that due to his weak
physical condition and the need to
concentrate all his efforts on inven
ions, it was impossible to use any en
ergy in obliging the numerous auto
graph seekers. ,
Besides Europeans already mention-
Honed, Walton's collection contains
the signature of Sir Malcolm Camp
bell, holder of the world automobile
speed record; Dino Grandi, Italian
statesman; James Stephens, Irish
poet who lectured here recently; and
Lloyd George, Prime Minister of Eng
land during the World War.
The blind Helen Keller; the "grand
old man of the Supreme Court," Ol
iver Wendell Holmes; the cold-blood
ed Richard E. Byrd; the superior
statesman, Elihu Root; the presiden
tial aspirant, Alfred E. Smith; the
captain of two of the ill-fated dirig
ibles, the Akron and Shenandoah,
Charles E. Rosendahl; the Pennsylva
nia political boss, Boise Penrose; the
Pennsylvania income tax victim, An
drew Mellon; the vice-president, John
N. Garner; and the master of literary
vituperation, Henry L. Mencken, have
all contributed to Walton's collection:
