„FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1944 Cornerstone Of Old Main Contains College History 111 VP By RICHARD SCHLEGEL ' Penn State's own "time capsule" —a little less elaborate and ex tensive than •the fatned history coffer that was buried at the New York World's• • Fair—is located eight or nine feet above the ground at the southdast corner of Old .Main. UnknoWn to most of the under grads, this so-called time caputle May be better recognized if .re ferred to as the Old Main corner stone, which was laid in mid winter, Anuary 4, 1930. „Measuring 27 inches long, 12 inches high and 16 inches wide, the cornerstone contains 66 ar ticles to delight the heart of an listorian 150 years from now. Catalogues of the College at its important stages: th 4 first , issued for the Farmers' High School, the Agricultural College of Pennsyl vania and 'far the Pennsylvania State College were included to gether with copies of the charter, legislation and court decrees af fecting the institution. Among the literary masterpieces included in this ,collegiate crypt are the Student Directory, issues 'of th'e Collegian, Froth, Old Main ,Bell, Penn State Farmer and Penn State Engineer. A history of the original Old Main and a graphic story of its rebuilding as told in pictures and newspapers brought the picture of the College up to date. Other photographs also make up a large• part of the historic but unexhibited collection. Pictures of John S. Fisher, then the governor of-. Pennsylvania, President Ralph D. Hetzel, and prominent. student government leaders in 1929 are only a few of the many that are, buried in the cornerstone. This stone formed the , basis of recon struction after the original Old' Main . had .been judged no longer Useful. The oddity angle. of the collec tion centers' about two coins—one dated 1857 to - represent the be ginning of the original. Old Main and the other *dated 1929 to mark the beginning of rebuilding.
