PAGE EIGHT Pugh Memorial Exhibit On Display at Library To commemorate the 90th anniversary of the arrival of the first students at the College on February 15. 1859, the Library has ar ranged the Evan Pugh Memorial Exhibit, now on display in the foyer of the building. The exhibit, which will continue through July 15. was arranged bv Mrs. Abbie H. Cromer, curator for the Penn State Room, assisted by Marjorie R. Powers, assistant in the Penn State Room, and numerous staff and faculty per sonnel at the College. “One of the purposes of the exhibit is to point out the rich heritage of the past, the fine traditions, and the high scholastic ideals upon which the College of today is built,” Mrs. Cromer explains. Leading Scientist In viewing items in the exhibit, it becomes immediately apparent that Dr. Evan Pugh was one of the leading scientists of his day, and while students of today think of the Farmer’s High School as a “hick school” in the Pennsyl vania woods, Dr. Pugh establish ed a firm foundation for Penn State. Pugh came to the College in 1859 after spending six years studying in Europe. Death in 1864 at the age of 36 terminated his career as President of the Col lege. One case of exhibits is devoted to his early life, showing his passport to Europe, notebooks kept there, and his doctor’s dis sertation written in long hand. Another deals with his relatives with the outstanding scientists of the day. Farm Diary The farm diary includes a record of the first student ar rivals, laying of the first stones for the Old Main Building, and records of student labor details. Another case portrays some of the problems met by Dr. Pugh, many of them revealed in cor respondence with Hugh N. Mc- Allister, Beliefonte attorney who was one of the founders of the College and a trustee. Here also is a letter from Dr. Pugh, refus ing the position of chief chemist of the United States. Dr. Pugh writes—“l am resolv ed to stay with our College while God gives me strength to per form by duties there, whatever may be the pecuniary induce ments or prospects of honor else where. It is my duty and destiny to do so and I shall seek honors in the path of duty and of destiny rather than at Washington.” A glimpse of student life is furnished by another section of the exhibit while scholastic stand ards are displayed in another. This case includes a copy of the certificate awarded the first grad uates in lieu of a diploma. Dr. Pugh had been unsuccessful in obtaining diplomas for the first graduates in 1861. Biographical sketches in an other case reveal the character of Dr. Pugh while another part of the exhibit relates to the year of his death—lB64. Letters de scribing his accident which re sulted in a fracture of the arm are displayed. Following the ac cident, he was taken ill with fever and died on April 29, 1864. Scientific instrument and ma terials used by Dr. Pugh in his research and charts used before the Royal Society of England when Dr. Pugh presented his classical experimentation on the assimilability of free nitrogen al so are displayed.

THE SUMMER COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA College Names Ag Vice-Dean Dr. Russell B. Dickerson, for merly assistant professor of agri cultural education at the Col lege, has been named vice-dean and director of resident instruc tion in the School of Agriculture, James Milholland, acting presi dent of the College, said.

Men's Dorms Report Unclaimed Checks The post offices at Jordan Hall and ftittany dorms reported yes terday that they have received many veterans checks which re main unclaimed and for which they have no addressed envelopes or forwarding addresses. Some of the checks are for one day and some are monthly checks. The post office staff requests that any former residents of these dorm units who are attending Summer Sessions stop by the post offices and claim their checks. In some cases the checks were re turned to the VA office at 112 Old Main and may be picked up at that office.

Crazed With Hale Crazed by his hatred for the world, Joe wins the match, kil ling his opponent. Lorna realizes her mistake in marrying Moody, and sets out with Joe to build their lives anew. With personal victory for the pair in sight, the play ends tragically. As Joe, Ambandos displays great emotional power, so great, in fact, that he more than half frightens his audience by his change from an enthusiastic youngster to a “killer” fighter. Both in gesture and vocal in tonation Ambandos conveys Joe’s frustration with fine dramatic insight, remarkable when one considers that he is best remem bered on campus for his comic role in Players’ “Sound of Hunt ing” some time ago. Miss Toll Miss Toll, switching character completely from her role in the recently closed “Voice of the Turtle,” portrays Lorna’s inde cision with ease, her struggles with society and morals closely parallelling Joe’s. Perhaps the most sympathetic portrayal of the production is that of Edward McCoy as Jos’s father. Unable to comprehend his son’s attitude toward mankind, he tries to thwart impending megalomania by directing his son’s energies back to music. At tired in a realistic Italian accent and an even more realistic cos tume, McCoy lives his pathetic role with depth and restraint. Credit goes to Paget for in tuitive direction, and to Tech nician Walt Eckley for improvis ing a set which, although it en tails some neck-craning by parts of the audience, adapts itself well to the situations.
