Begun For
SackettWing
Workmen are landscaping an
area along the lower Mall—to the
interest of a daily crowd of side
walk superintendents—in prepar
ation for construction of a new
wing on Sackett Building and
construction of the new engineer
ing building.
Among the trees being removed
by the landscaping division are
some very old trees, one planted
before the University was found
ed, according to Walter W. Train
er, superintendent of landscaping.
Trainer said workmen are re
moving a red oak tree between
the Petroleum Refining Labora
tory, now being dismantled, and
the Frazier Street entrance to
the Mall. This tree, .he said, is
believed to be about 100 years old.
The landscapi,g which is draw
ing the most attention from on
lookers is on the north side of
Sackett Building, where a Japa
nese zelkova tree, a walnut tree
and several catalpa trees are be
ing removed. The zelkova tree,
Trainer said, was planted about
1875, and the catalpa trees in
1865 r
Trainer said trees located be
tween the sidewalk and West Col
lege Avenues and those along the
Mall, inside the-campus gate, will
not be affected by the construc
tion.

Shadow Campus Machines
With the opening of the Industrial Exposition at the
Hetzel Union Building today, thousands of students will
wonder at the marvels of the machine age, while other fine
specimens of machines all across campus will be clicking their
hearts out—virtually forgotten.
Some students, especially sen
iors, are vividly aware of the
nresence of the tabulating ma
chines in Old Main. After finals
they will be forced to wait un
til the machines process their
records and feed the results to
another machine which, al
though fingerless, can give the
well-known-thumbs up sig n,
signifying a passing and grad
uating student.
One of the machines in the
newest of these installations is
actually a duplicate of that now
famous card sorter of "The $64,-
000 Question."
Run by Computation Services,
the new machines located on the
first floor of Boucke Building may
be used only for research and in
struction. Five machines present
ly make up the unit, although
three additional machines are ex
pected next week.
Another machine in the unit,
an electronic calculator, can
multiply, square, divide and
square again. It is used when
a third machine which only
adds is not sufficient to solve
the problem.
The new machines will be used
to supplement the present set-up.
An interpretator and a collator
will supplement the card sorter
in arranging cards for further
processing. The third addition is
a gang punch which can trans
form sets of facts from two sepa
rate cards onto a single card.
The penstac machine, an elec
tronic tape-using brain, is lo
cated in Electrical Engineering

History Prof Presents
Paper About Samurai
Dr. Harry D. Harootunian, in
structor in history, has presented
a paper dealing with the dissolu
tion of the Samurai as a class in
Japan during the 1870's and 1880's,
at the annual meeting of the As

Goethe's Mementoes
Displayed in Library
The German writer Goethe not only wrote Faust and
other works of literature—he did wash drawings.
And like men of less distinguished accomplishment, on
occasion he gave flowers to a woman.
Remnants of these varied activities are found in the dis-
play cases in the Pattee Library.
The exhibit, which is part of a
display on German culture, in
cludes a program from the pro
duction of one of his plays, a spe
cial edition of that play and sev
eral of his personal letters.
Another case shows the work
of one of his translators, Bayard
Taylor. There is an edition of
Goethe's "Faust," translated by
Taylor and autographed by the
translator.
Taylor was the United States
minister to Germany in 1878. The
display includes his special en
voy's passport and a letter grant
ing him audience with the Ger
man crown prince.
Pennsylvania "D u t c h" dialect
lierature occupies two cases. The
literature consists of a grammar
book, a play, poetry and anec
dotes.
Children should learn German
at an early age, according to a
newspaper article in one of the
display cases. Colorful picture
books, much like first grade read
ing texts, are used for this task.
Other portions of the display in
clude copies of work and corres
pondence from the Austrian poet
Hugo von Hofmannsthal, pictures
of German language opera pro
ductions and German periodicals
and pamphlets on literature.
Out of the German vein, but
also shown with the periodicals,
are a letter by Thornton Wilder,
writings by Wilder on James
Joyce and an original manuscript
by the French poet St.-J. Perse.
