THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. 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.
