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. These books and pic
tures are-taken for the most part
from the Priestly Museum at North
umberland, property of the College.
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.

Hodgson '32 Revealed as Real
Author of Popular Swing Song
Who really started the music going
"'round . and around" is a question
that has been the subject 'of many
student arguments lately. The publi
cation 'of, pictures of Edward Farley
and Michael Riley as the authors of
the song hit that every swing man
in the country's been playing; and the
article published in the January 7
issue of the Collegian stating that
"The Music Goes !Round and Around"
was written by George "Red" Hodg
son, who - was graaudted here in 1932,
has provided grounds for much con
troversy. 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. It is said that
one of his favorite hobbies was eat
ing oranges while entertaining.

ics .to a one night in Chicago.
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. Riley was using
a' three-valve horn as a gag and one
evening a girl, sitting at one of. the
front tables, asked him .how the horn
worked and if he could get any mu
sic out of it.. Riley at once thought
of the lyrics the . girl from Chicago
had taught him and while, the orch
estra played, he explained to the little
lady. .
The, following day, after
,finishing
their work it the Decea Studios, Ri
ley., and ; Farley sat down to write
some music to these words. While
they were doing this, 'Jack, Kelm,
esidont of Decca. Records, overheard
them and asked them to make a rec

record went on the market: The song

realized they had a hit and during
