HeA;f:e.
.Pollock 10 which housed coeds early last fall semester was nick
named. 17, but Devil's Den and the Bright Angel probably
never, have occurred to anyone recently as names for dormitories.
Back in 1903, two temporary buildings were put up west of the
Armory to house male students. Gen. James A. Beaver, former gov-
ernor of Pennsylvania, had just
returned from a western trip and
:brought with him some "gung
.ho" (as most of us would probably
'dub 'it) nathes. Bright Angel and
Devil's Den were his particiular
favdrites.
A_ few - years later both dormi
tories were, chopped in half. No
one quite 'certain what hap
pen Ted to Devil's Den (no' relation
to' the Snack Bar), but one-half
of Bright Angel was reconverted
into a forestry shed. Photographs
reveal the Forestry Building much
as it is today; with a small wooden
wing attached to it.
- The 'other half lost the name of
Bright Angel completely, being
more- mysteriously dubbed the
Pest House, Penn State's first in
firinary for contageous" diseases.
It was located approximately in
the middle of Beaver Field.
The 'inain 'health service was
set- up in the home of the Dean
of the School of Mines, located in

Eventually the Pest House was

Khayarn Expressed
Decay in Rubaiyar
The college student of today gets it from all sides. Prohibitionists
denounce him for being alcoholic—philosophers silently brood about
his materialism—ascetics point a thin-veined finger at him for being
pleasure-seeking—and missionaries invoke the wrath of God upon
him for his anti-Christianity.
They all agree upon one thing,
however—that he is a product of
a diseased 20th Century. At no
other time in the history of the
world, these critics rave, has man
been in such a state of moral
•
decay.
Arid yet an 11th Century poet
scientist expressed these same
traits of "decay" in a now-famous
book of verses. Omar Khayam, in
his "Rubaiyat" rejected Logic for
Wine when he wrote:
"For 'ls' and 'ls-Not' though
with Rule and Line
And 'Up-And-Down by Logic
I define,
Of all that one should care to
fathom, I
Was never deep in anything but
—Wine."
Khayam was born in Persia
near the end of -the 11th Century:
A promising student in schodl, he
became a close friend of the fu
ture Vizier - to the sultan. The two
made a pact - to share any fortune
the other might acquire.
When Khayam's school friend
became Vizier, Khayam asked
only for a small pension so he
could devote his life to study.
Although Khayam soon became
famous throughout Persia as a
scientist and man of knowledge,
he found no truth either in knowl
edge or religion. In the words of
Edward Fitzgerald, whose trans
lation of the "Rubaiyat" is con
sidered by many to surpass the or
iginal, Khayam failed to find "any
Providence but Destiny, and any
- World but This."
The disillusioned man of knowl
edge came to the conclusion that
sensual pleasure is the only worth
while purpose of life philo
sophical musings are only tire
some blind allies.
No matter what he did, Khayam
could not shake off his conviction
that the hand of Fate was re
lentlessly guiding his steps.
The anguish Khayam experi
enced in arriving at his rather
hopeless beliefs, however con
vinced he was of their truth, is
revealed in these lines near the
end of the "`Rubaiyat:"
"Ah Love! could you and I with
Him conspire
To grasp this sorry Scheme of
Things entire,
Would not we shatter it to bits
—and then
Re-mould it n ear e r to the
Heart's Desire!"
