Andrew Carnegie, who' acted as godfather to •numerous educational institu tions, including Penn State,.either • refutes - the rule or is' the excep tion to .it. To him Penn State owes Carnegie Hall which was originally the library. It the student of today 'could travel backward in time to the Penn State of 1904, he would find a college so different as to be almost unrecognizable. To Mr. Carnegie the changes which had occurred since he had last visited were quite amazing. In his speech of . presentation November 18, 1904, he said: • "It is 20 years since I was here and I feel like Rip Van Winkle after he had slept 20 years. This `High School for Farmers,' I find now has 19 courses embracing all ,subjects of human knowledge. Twenty years ago I found 170 stuOents here and now I find be tween 700 and 800 and the cry i `still they come'." Mr. Carnegie's answer to the request for a library was not the first time he had come to the aid of the . college. He had asked to be allowed to furnish money for a brass band when the students desired one and no appropriation was forthcoming. He also presented the Stevens facsimiles. Not the least of his charities was a special fund which he made available to President Atherton for those students ,who could not complete college with out some financial support. Those who received money from this funds never knew that they were indebted to Andrew Carnegie. The conception of Penn State as one of the pioneers in the re form of education characterized the'. steel magnate's outlook on the College. After emphasizing that Cambridge and Oxford had found it necessary to drop Greek from their curricula, he pointed out that Penn State stressed Amer ican history and literature before embarking on the study of for eign cultures. He added: "We are face to face with the new demands of the age and I congratulate the state college that it appreciates the fact and that it is not to be left behind." The trustees of the College were not unappreciative pf the iavur which Andrew CrneisFie ••:. .....,:.4:•.::.:;1', ; ... .... ~......:,,......ni;..?•.:•• ~•'••• .*•••••'•?' i•'.: ;•,. .• .....,..........: 777. 5.'..;::.•?.'•:•:•,''_....v , .'••• ••' ~..;.'.'„.:•4 (:..:: -..?.•••• •'' ..._ ~.. . :', ..... f•.:: — ..•.:.. . .

Leet, cOm- mending officer of the Army Air Forces unit at the College, has been assigned to the Army Air Field at Bainbridge, Ga. He left State College Tuesday. Major Leet, who assumed com mand a year ago, remained for several weeks after the departure of the last. Air Corps quintile to help settle the unit's affairs. He does not report to Bain bridge until August 1 and in the meantime will vacation with his family in Kenosha, Wis. had done them when he endow ed the new library. They sent resolutions engraved on parch ment in • permanent form, enroll ed in the College colors which stood for purity, truth, and cour age. The students, not to be out done, presented Mrs. Carnegie with a loving cup. When he presented the key of the library to the chairman of the board, Mr. Carnegie summed up his feeling for public service: "General Beaver, I hand you this key. Take it, sir, from one who loves State College, who loves the people of the United States and who would serve them well." The College library which now contains over 200,000 volumes is a tribute to Mr. Carnegie's love of learning. In 1940 the library was moved to a new building which could better house the journalism, music, and military science departments. Mr. Carnegie would not mind that the building which he gave had outgrown its original pur-. pose. From his attitude towards education in general and Penn State in particular, one. senses that he should rejoice that the college has grown instead of de teriorating. Tribunal Functions Again To the delight of freshmen, Tribunal has not been function ing for a week. Van Lundy who now heads the organization ex plains that the neglect was caus ed by delays in installing new of ficers. He warns that the axe, in the form of postal cards asking violators to report, will fall heav ily on freshman necks in the fu ture. The Lion party wishes to thank all voters for their help during the last election. F="wzygnmrri War News Analyzed By JAMES E. GILLESPIE Professor of History Doubtless the most sensational events in the foreign news this paast week were the domestic cri ses in Germany and in Japan as portents of more serious events to come. On Thursday July 20 a plot instigated by high ranking army officers resulted in the explosion of a bomb within six feet of Hit ler while he was attending a con ference •at military headquarters with thirteen Of his highest rank ing advisers. Although . Der Fu ehrer escaped virtually unscathed, a number of officers were severely wounded and one was killed. According to Swiss and Swedish reports there were likewise muti nies in the naval personnel at Kiel and the desertion of two army di visions in East Prussia., Both Al fred Rosenberg and . Doctor Ley referred to the disturbances as a Fifth Front indicating that the af fair was more than one of sporadic nature. Nazi Leaders Realize Dangers The urgent, if not frantic, ap peals of the Nazi leaders to the people and the army, as well as the stern and energetic measures to scotch any internal opposition and make good a firmer grip on the country point to their reali zation of the danger confronting them. Apparently tkiey have at least for the moment succeeded in their endeavor to control the situation. Many of the highest of ficers of the Junker class have been arrested, an indeterminate number have been shot and annY control is now said to. be 'Com pletely in . Nazi hands. In future as a sign of submis sion and loyalty all military men must give the Nazi.instead of the customary military salute. Still greater restrictions and demands have been imposed on the people from whom little was to be feared anyway because of the dread power of the Gestapo and the fact that the able-bodied manpower had so largely been drafted into the army. Himmler however, has been given still more police pow er amounting to absolute control over the lives of all Germans. Goering with Goebbels as dep uty, has been entrusted with the task of squeezing the German manpower barrel to the bottom and of imposing even greater sac rifices. It is thought that the attempted revolt of the generals was insti gated both by hatred of the Nazi regime and by realization of the futility of continuing the war. Hitler's insistance in holding ter ritory in France and the Eastern Front instead of a withdrawal to the homeland or its environs was contrary to his generals' advice and evidently was constantly bringing fresh disaster. Stubborn Fighting Ahead However, one should not as both Churchhill and Eden warn, jump to the conclusion that a speedy collapse is assured. Much hard, stubborn fighting doubtless lies ahead. The recent events may however, be regarded as "the first rumble of impending col lapse" That the German people and army will now know that in the opinion of the highest military authorities the war is lost will .in- (Continued on Page Three) Bill Wintersteen Ghana?

SNP AT Keelers Oakum Theatrelmd' ding FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1944 WAVE Travel Unit To Enlist Recruits Traveling the country in an ef fort to hit the 1,000 a week mark, a WAVES Traveling -Board will be stationed at the Nittany Lion Inn August 4 and 5, in order to enlist recruits from this area. During the visit of the Travel ing Board WAVE interviewers, Navy medical persprmel and oth ers will 'be ready to give inter views, conduct the physical and mental examinations, and to assist in the enlistment procedure. In this way it will be possible to complete the entire procedure at once, remedying the former situa tion of having recruits travel to 'Philadelphia to complete the en listment process. Women enlisting from this area, it was pointed out, will probably be assigned their basic training at Hunter College in New York. In addition, those women enlisting during the visit of the Traveling Board will be sworn-in in the same class and will therefore start their Navy training with friends froni home. • In announcing the appearance of the hoard here, Captain Patter , son', in charge of WAVE procure ment in this Naval district, said, "There is a real need for more and more WAVES. It is certainly no .secret that victorY in any war goes to the aide which has the greatest reserve POwer. The\enemy in this - -war . is losing,ground on every front ,hecauSe he has used up his reserve strength. "/i'l this country the reserve of strength is our 'womanpower. As a vital part of our reserve foree the WAVES are making an im portant and vital direct contribti tion to victory. We need 40,0gg more of them and we need them at once. We urge all eligible girls to join." All applicants are urged to be on hand early in the day to insure time enough for completion of the entire 'enlistme,nt procedure. They are requested to bring a birth certificate, baptismal certificate, or other evidence •of citizenship with them.
