Library Holds Exhibit Of Priestly Writings 'An exhibit of books and pictures of' Joseph Priestley, the discoverer of oxygen, is being held in Room K of the College library from February 5 to February 28.

Priestley, who ,was recognized 'in the field of science chiefly for his dis cOvery of oxygen, had his definite ideas about church and political mat ters of his day. Fee:ing against his non-conformist writings lead to' the ransacking of his home.and church in 1791 which were known as the Birm- - ingham Riots. He fled to America in 1794, settled, in Nortliumberland; and died there in 1809. The display will include some of his early writings and treatsies on scientific .matters pertaining. to the discoverY, of oxygen. Priestley' also wrote many other types of books, in cluding grammars, biographical and historical charts, and dissertations on education.. Among the exhibit artic les are some controversial writings of Priestley and the famous paniphle teer, Peter Porcupine. A group of chemists met .in North *umberland in 1874 to celebrate the centennial of the discovery of oxygen. Here they . organized the American Chemical Society, encouraged by, the vigorous writings of the man. Many of these first editions are'included in the exhibit.

To straighten out the mat ter somewhat, here's what is believed to be the true 'story of how it all originated,. as revealed by the man ager of Riley and Farley, as well as ethal- authorities. Hodgson, while a student here, was Member of the Penn State Owls Trio. ' Ho ..was a singer and enter tainer; and made. his ..appearance on various. campus programs. While here, he. began to. compose whatim called "The Orange Song." After graduating. he joined the orchestra of Ernie Palmquist, with whom he completed the song. Pahnquist agrees that they wrote the composition and says it is almost unchanged in its present form. Hodgson explains how he demon strated pushing "this valve down" on an old battered mellowphone. He says the "hoe; ho, ho" idea was the -result of his trying to sing with his.mouth tilled with oranges.

She brought them with her to New York, and one day she taught them to Mike Riley and Ed Farley, while they were /recording at the Decen Studios. Farley and Riley laid the lyrics aside and probably would have for gotten about them had it not been for a cocktail-befuddled girl, at • the Onyx Club in New York.
