Opening of Mysterious Chest
Reveals Class of '95 Souvenirs
By GAY SNODGRASS
The mystery of Pandora's box,
so well-known in Greek mythol
ogy, was not solved happily when
Pandora loosed all the human ills
on the world as she lifted the lid;
but the mystery of another box, a
hand-carved chest in Pattee Li
brary. has been solved without
mishap.
The chest, carved by a member
of the class of 1895 of the Penn
sylvania State College, may be
opened only by a member of the
class of '95. The contents of the
mysterious chest were revealed
Tuesday when George B. Snyder,
class secretary and a resident of
State College, opened the wooden
box containing class momentos,
old publications, and pictures of
the campus and class personali
ties.
The chest was carved by Ralph
Fitch Martin in commemoration
of the class's 40th anniversary and
1935 reunion. The intricately
carved chest is covered with the
names of the 36 members of the
class; as each member dies, a cross
is carved after his name.
The first verse of the class
hymn is carved on the lid of the
chest. The tune of the hymn was
used by Fred Lewis Pattee when
he wrote the words of our present
alma mater.
Among the articles in the chest
are autographed parasols in class
colors of pink and olive green
used at the 1935 re•inion. and a
fragment of the flag the class as

An interesting, if somewhat
humorous, picture of life at Penn

the first one was put out by the

of the class and was elected to
that post again when the class was
reorganized four years ago. He

Nittany Dormitory Fire
Causes $5O Damage
A fire in a Nittany area dormi
tory Tuesday afternoon caused
damage estimated at $5O to the
property of Donald Do w den,
fourth semester journalism ma
jor. .
The fire was believed to have
originated in a table model radio
which Dowden said he had not
used for some time. Also dam
aged were a clock and a typewrit
er. The fire was discovered by
two students passing by the win
dow.
ing position in the Pittsburgh
public schools.
The class of 1895 is planning
its 60th anniversary reunion next
year. With 36 members, it was
the largest class to graduate from
Penn State up to 1895. The class
founded the Centennial Student
Aid Fund to help needy students
at the University, and its funds
now total about $2OOO.
The chest is on exhibit in the
newly opened exhibit room on
the fourth floor of Pattee Library.
This room is an extension of the
Penn State Room, which is - now
used as a reference room for the
University's history.
