Big Birthday Present
University got a $275,000 birthday
pr:zont.
For the first time in its history the University
has assembled what Harold E. Dickson, pro
fessor of fine arts, believes to be the best works
of the most outstanding artists in Pennsylvania
—another commemoration of the Centennial
Year.
Besides the monetary worth of the 48 paint
ings on exhibition in the art gallery of the
Mineral Industries building, Dr. Dickson said
the showing of this collection stands out as the
leading cultural event of the entire year-long
celebration.
During the next month people will have the
opportunity to view these highly selective
paintings which represent not only the history
of art in Pennsylvania, but characterize a seg
ment of the broad cultural development of the
state.

Last Tuesday in an effort to rectify a long
standing mistake on the part% of the borough
fathers, we called attention to the fact • that
"Frazier" street, named in honor of the Uni
versity's third president, was a misspelling.
We advised the borough council that the
proper spelling of the late president's name was
"Frazer." We were wrong
Mrs. Mary L. Mairs, assistant librarian in
charge of the Penn State collection, has been
kind enough to inform us that the proper spell
ing of the president's name was "Fraser."
We are sincerely sorry to have mislead our
readers on this matter. But our intentions were
good. Now it is up to theborough council to
. .
rectify its mistake.

Now on Display
Thomas Eakins, and Mary Cassett is even more
meaningful as their works appear alongside
those of other natives to weave the story of
Pennsylvania art.
Dr. Dickson said he considers this exhibit to
be the most handsome of the University's birth
day presents—worth over a quarter of a mil
lion dollars, borrowed from as far west as
Kansas City and as far north as Boston. Three
of the paintings were flown from European
showings by the United States Information
Agency for this exhibition.
In addition to the actual showing, each of
the paintings is pictured in a history booklet.,
on sale in the art gallery for $l, prepared
especially for the Centennial year to trace the
earliest American-Pensylvanian art to modern
times. Living artists' works are not included in
the exhibit.
The University's Centennial celebration has
included no finer display. No one should miss it.

Students' Take Ten'
'Sometime last summer a group of students
gathered on campus faced with the herculean
task of writing an original musical , comedy
show. A comparatively short time later, early
in September, tryouts for that show were held,
and it was cast.
Three weeks of intensive rehearsal followed,
during which hardly a critical eye, save those
of students, followed the proceedings. Thurs
day evening at Schwab Auditorium the fruit
of this labor will be realized.
- When Thespians present their musical comedy
review, "Take Ten," they will be 'presenting
a show which was written by students, cast by
students, directed and produced by students,
and will be entirely enacted by students.
Every note of music and every word of -dia
logue delivered on the Schwab stage, together
with the manner in which they are delivered,
will be products of student imagination and
application.
Not many student activities at Penn State
can boast a comparative degree of emancipa
tion from administration direction, nor a com
parative 'degree of deserved independence.
Whether Thespians are overwhelmingly, or
only moderately successful with "Take Ten,"
they certainly deserve commendation for their
ambition in undertaking the task of presenting
such a show every year.

'Murder' Stalks
Faculty Luncheon
With the help of a "staged murder," Dr. Mary L. Willard,
professor of chemistry at the University, showed the Faculty
Luncheon Club .that gathering evidence from eye witnesses
is both difficult and uncertain.
The "murder" occurred yesterday
room of the HetzelUnion"Buildiug. As
introduced • the 'murderer" ran
from the back of the room, shout
ing .and shooting a banana at a
woman sitting at the speaker's
table. The victim - slumped 'for
ward on the table knocking , dish
es to the floor and staining the
table cloth with blood.
When questioned by Dr. 'Wil
lard, none of the witnesses could
agree on the exact time of the
crime or the description of the
murderer. Only a few recognized
the "murder" weapon as being a
banana and no one noticed the
red scarf used for blood.
Dr. Willard stressErd the impor
tance of remembering compara
tively in such cases and said that
comparing the height and weight
of the criminal to someone you
know is much more accurate than
trying to remember his exact ap
pearance.
"Even a hit-run car is better
identified if it is compared to
your neighbor's car than if you
try to remember the exact model,
color and make of the car," she
said.
In showing the important part
that .science plays in solving
crimes, Dr. Willard reviewed the
Robert's case that took place in
the northern part of the state in
1952. The case involved the death
of Mrs. Jonah Roberts, who, ac
cording to her husband, was shot
by two hitch-hikers whom he de
scribed as being about the same
size.
After searching for the men po
lice found two hitch-hikers, but
according to Dr. Willard they
looked like Mutt and Jeff. Other
such conflicting stories from Mr.
Roberts aroused suspicion and a
series of tests was started by the
police with the help of Dr. Wil
lard.

at noon in the dining
the speaker was being
exhibits and ' testing blood, soil,
and powder marks, enough evi
dence was accumulated to accuse
Mr. Roberts of the crime.-
"This was just one of the many
cases where science helped save
a crime," Dr.. Willard said. "Just
like Dick Tracy we usually solve
the crime," she said, "but our
methods are more technical and
employ many scientific practices."
