DELIVERING HIS '"LAST LECTURE," Dr. Robert K. Murray
brews his listeners a cup of the good life.
Murray Says Life
Is 'Cup of Coffee
"Life is a cup of black coffee
—dark, mysterious, aromatic
and deeply satisfying," Dr.
Robert 'K. Murray, associate
professor of American history
said last night.
Murray's lecture, "Cream—No
Sugar," was the first of Mortar'
Board's Last Lecture Series. In
this series each professor is asked
to deliVer his lecture as if it were
the last of his career.
If anything is , added to life,
Murray continued, it should be
only the cream excellence
that is attained by fulfilling
one's potential. Don't add sugar
which• as only fattening and
fiber destroying, he advised.

characterized by excellence, se

STATE COLLEGE, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 25, 1959
By KATIE DAVIS
FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
"Education can and should be
the - most liberating and exhilarat
ing experience of life. It prepares
a person to stay awake mentally,
seek out facts and interpret wise
ly," Murray continued. '"Money,
position and fame never compen
sated for the lack of an educa
tion."
- The world's greatest resource
is the mind and the mind's de
velopment in the H-bomb age
e has become a necessity. -
But, in trying to develop one's
mind, the faculty does not edu
cate a student, Murray said. The
student gives himself an educa
tion. Because of this the student
should take courses for their con
tent and not for grades.
Also the student should forget
the "togetherness" that he has
been taught since elementary
school and concentrate on de
veloping himself individually.
Equalities of opportunities in
school and in life should not
lead to _equalities of rewards,
he said. The important thing in
considering rewards is how well
one has used his abilities. A
system of rewards and punish
ments will always be necessary.
Rewards and punishments are
particularly exemplified in the
academic situation, Murray said.
"To achieve an education I of
fer you hard work, anxiety
competition and .muted satisfac
tion," 'he concluded.
Students Petition in Behalf of Jazz Club
By DENNY MALICE
Jazz' Club President Ronald
Palmer will go into a meeting'
with Dr: Robert Bernreuter
at 10 a.m. today armed with
petitions signed by several
hundred students protesting
the ruling against major club
sponsored Pin' concerts.
Palmer, Theodore - D. Richards
Jr.,. club adviser,, and Peter Dun
can, foriner president, will repre
sent the Jazz Club in the argu
ment to retain sponsorship of all
jazz concerts.
In addition, the meeting will
be attended, by All-Univenity
President Jay Feldstein. George

Doubled Library .
Predicted by 1970
Ralph W. McComb, University librarian, mid yesterday
that he looked forward to a yearly increase of 20,000 books
a year, and that by 1970, the total number of volumes will
have increased to the 1 million mark.
The increasing of the number of volumes from 30,000 to
50,000 in the past year is proof that the Fred Lewis Pattee
Library is doing everything in its
power to give sufficient service
to the students of the University,
McComb said.
He added that plans have been,
laid to extend its service over the
entire state. If the plan is ap
proved and if the Commonwealth
can obtain the funds needed, in
dustry, government and educa
tion throughout Pen li sylvania!
can benefit from its facilities.
Examples of this statewide system
of libraries are the University's
centers and interlibrary loans
presently controlled by the Uni
versity.
Although this state-wide ex
tension is en ultimate step in
the development of the library,
the administrators and person
nel are more concerned at the
present with improving the
campus library.
Directed by Wallace R. Work
master, of the history depart
ment, a special collection on
Pennsylvania , history is being
compiled. The Lewis Pattee col
lection is serving as the basis of
this department. Historical man
uscripts
are being obtained from'
friends and .alumni of the Uni
versity who are interested and
willing to deposit them in the li
brary.
The rare books collection is also
the subject of concentration by
the library. By keeping in touch
with publishing houses and var
ious book agencies, the library
hopes to obtain a stronger col
lection in history of science clas
sics, more first and unique edi
tions of American - writers of lit
erature, a snore complete section
on foreign languages and a larger
selection of early American per
iodicals. The rare books collec
tion is being extended in order to
help those who are interested in
research in these various areas
"With the growth of research
in the field of science, the
problem of keeping up with the
rate of research publication is
arising," said McComb. "Re
search scientists know that they
will not benefit from their re
search unless their findings aro
in print." This has caused many
new journals and divisions of
journals to be printed.
A system called "report litera
ture" is growing which hopes to
fill these demands for publics
-1 tion. It represents separately pro
duced documents which report
to the government or industry the
results of research programs.

the Jazz Club had received "un

against sponsoring major concerts.
It also stated that the club is
in good financial shape and should
be allowed to sponsor future big
concerts for which there is a defi
