PENNSYLVANIA Penn State Room Keeps 'Treasures' By BARBARA GREENWALD Books aren't the only treasures in the Pattee Library. An ornately-carved memory chest, belonging to the Class of 1895, lies high up in the Penn State room on the fourth floor. A peek inside the chest reveals a smaller locked chest ' with these words, "This chest is to be opened only by a member of the Class of 1895." The chest, carved by the late Ralph Fitch Martin,' a member of the Class of '95, is decorated with the name of each class mem ber, and enclosing the names, is a border of pinnate leaves. 1 The class hymn, • whose tune later became part of our Alma Mater, is carved on the front of the chest. Martin presented the chest to the University In 1935, in honor of the fortieth anniversary of his class. The chest, however, is only one of the historical pieces to be found in the room. The newest souvenir of Penn State history is one of , the hard wood seats from Schwab Auditor ium which was in use from 1903 to 1957. Other items date even further back. A registrar's desk, used in Old Main from 1895 to 1928 stands in one corner. The old fashioned desk reaches a height of about five feet. Occupying another corner of the room is an egg-shaped table and five chairs from the adminis trative period of President Ath erton, who served as the Univer sitv's seventh president from 1882 to 1906. Fred Lewis Pattee, who was a University professor from 1894 to 1928 and for whom the Library is named, is also represented in the room. His bookcase and desk. With its wrinkled-leather top, stand empty along the wall.
