Davis Previews Newspaper
Of Future For LA Series .
The newspaper of tomorrow will
differ from current newspapers in
both form and appearance, accord_
ing to Donald W. Davis, associate
professor of journalism at the Col
lege.
DeliVering the fourth of the
current series of Liberal Arts lec
tures on Tuesday night, Professor
Davis said, "Tomorrow's newspa
pers will be aesthetically more sat
isfying and better, written than to
day's paper: NeWs Will be written
by men especially trained to inter
pret its various phases. In addi
tion, there will be an unprece
dented editorial awareness."
Tracing the development of the
newspaper, Professor Davis show
ed slides of America's earliest
journals. These included the Bos
ton News-Letter, first published in
1704, and the Penn Packet and
Daily Advertiser, America's first
daily newspaper.
The period from 1870 to 1900
was a transitional era from per
sonal journalism to journalism, as
a highly organized enterprise, ac
cording to Professor Davis. This
period brought, the beginning of
the Associated Press, United Press,
women's pages, and comic strips.
After 1900, wire and wireless
photographs were de velope d.
About 1929, political columns and
rotogravure became popular. Me
chanical developments have help
ed newspapermen bring news to
the public faster and more attrac
tively, stated Professor Davis.
• "The newspaper of tomorrow,"
concluded the journalism 'profes
sor, "will become a more intimate
and important part of our lives
than it has ever been before."

What! Where!
See Frosh 'Bible'
"Where is Engineering E? Who
is the Dean of Men? Where is
Frear Lab?"
For years frosh have been leaf
ing through freshman handbooks
for the answers to these questions.
'The "frosh bible;" a required part
of customs, was first published by
the class of 1894 under the spon
sorship of PSCA.
• The 1895 publication had some
30 •pages, listed seven fraternities,
reminded everyone to be "ready at
7:45 a.m. each day, except Sunday,
, with room in order and door un_
locked for inspection," along with
necessary data about the College.
The smallest "bible" was pub
lished in 1900. A new addition was
the football schedule of the season.
In 1903 the handbook carried pic
tures of "Old Main," Chemical En
gineering, and Engineering build
ings.
Class hats of navy blue with
white - class numerals were worn in
1924, only to be prohibited four
years later. The '1930 handbook
stipulated that all frosh must
salute the president of the Col
lege, completely button their
coats, wear black socks, shave off
all beards, and not date within a
three-mile radius of Old Main. No
ticeable in these old handbooks are
the many privileges the frosh were
allowed in dating prior to 1934,
when the "bible" began to look
like the one today's frosh are pull
ing out for inquisitive upperclass
men.
"Where, Oh Where are the Ver
dant Freshmen" was' published
with many other popular campus
songs in the 1939 handbook. The
first white covered handbook came
out in 1943 after 49 years of black
and then blue "bibles."

Work Of Alumnus
Appears In lifer
A Penn Stater made "Life," al
though most students didn't know
it, when the February 19 issue
of that
.magazine contained 4
three-page spread on Hobson Pitt-.
man.
Mr. Pittman, one of the lea<t
ing younger romantic painters, not
only attended the College, but alsO
has been visiting artist at the
summer session for .many year.
One of his paintings, "Spring
Morning," hangs in the second
floor lounge of Old Main.
Born in 1900, Hobson Pittman
spent his childhood in Tarboro,
N. C., where he lived in a ramb.-
ling house with large windows op—
ening on to • a terrace, its high.
ceilinged rooms filled with Vic •
torian furniture. This atmosphere
made an indelible imureSsion ott
the boy for in his paintings he ha;>
always forgotten about the con.
fused, streamlined world of today
and concentrated on the serenb,
Victorian environment he knew .a,;
a child.
Mr. Pittman took his first art
lesson at 12. At the age of 18 be
came North to live with his sister
in Coatesville, Pa., and began
to prepare seriously for an artistic:
career. He studied art and acqi
demic subjects at the Collegi!,
Columbia, and Carnegie Tech.'
After graduation, he worked
for several years with a number
of artists in Woodstock, N. Y., and
in 1928, 1930, and 1935 travelled :to.
Europe observing the work of
great masters.
Since then, he's turned out ;l
number of romantic Victoriau
paintings which are bought up
rapidly and exhibited throughout
the country.
Six weeks of Mr. Pittman';;
summers are spent teaching hero
on campus where he encouraget;
his students to develop their owu
style. In fact, he prefers that they
don't see his work while they'll,
studying with him. Prof. J. Burn
Helms, of the College art depart-.
ment, speaks of him. as "a born
teacher."
