By KARYL DUCHACEK

glaved with "Evan Pugh" in
youthfully ii regular lettering is a
pi tied feature in the exhibit which,

The exhibit, manged by the
staff of the Penn State Room, con-,
taxis highlights in the life of Evan
Pugh, who became the last pres-:
ident of the Univei say just 100
yeais ago.
Described in a travel permit as,
tall with gray-brown eyes and
biown beard, Pugh gave up what
pt onnsed to be a notable career
in scientific research to apply his
educational talents to the newly
chat ter ed Fanners' High School.
Despite international recogni
tion and the opportunity to con•
tinue work in chemistry in Eng
land, late in 1859 at the age of
31, Evan Pugh assumed his
duties as president.
He was actually a one-man ad-:

professor of agricultural chemis
ti 3r, chemistry, geology and min
eralogy. He paid $5OO annually
from his $l5OO salary to help
maintain chemistry laboratories.
Various displays in the exhibit
describe Evan Pugh's life as a
Quaker boy in Chester County,
,university student in Europe, as a
pioneer in education, a teacher,
:administrator and a key figure in
the promotion of the Land Grant
Act
A physical and mental giant,
during his five years at the Uni
versity, he persuaded the legis
lature to complete Old Main
and to designate the Agricul
tural College of Pennsylvania
as the state's single beneficiary
of the Land Grant Act, which
he helped frame and get through
both Congress and the State
Legislature. Graduate study
was begun here in 1862 because
of his reputation.
Included in the exhibit is a let
ter to Hugh N. McAllister, one of
the original trustees. In it Pugh
mentions that he had planned to
walk to Bellefonte to consult
with him on rules for the school,
but had been prevented by poor
weather.
Pugh's attention to every de
tail is indicated in a letter con
reining the design of the dome
for Old Main, in which he sug
gests an arrow rather than a Ceres
atop the dome
Also displayed is a chart of the
report presented by Evan Pugh
to the Royal Society of London
in 1860. It was this report that
brought him international recog
nition, leading to the offer to be
come the first president of the
University, and offers from Wash
ington to become chief chemist
of the new U S. Department of
Agriculture.

Kenneth L. Holderman, coor
dinator for commonwealth cam
puses, headed a committee which

on technical institute education.
The report, "The Technical In
stitute in America," is the work
of the Technical Institute Division
of the American Society for En
gineering Education.

DIARY OF A COED
MONDAY: Prof. Pomfritt sprang quiz in English lit this
morning. If Shakespeare didn't write Canterbury Talcs I'm a
dead duck . . . Lunch at the house—turkey hash. Question:
how can we have turkey hash when we never had turkey? ...
Smoked a Mailboro after lunch. I dig those better makin's
the most! . . . Played bridge with sorors in afternoon. When
game was over, my partner stabbed me several times with
hatpin. Must learn weak club bid ... Dinner at house—lamb
hash. Question: how can we have lamb hash When we never had
lamb? ... Smoked a Marlboro after dinner. What filter! What
flavor! What pack or box! ... Chapter meeting at night. Motion
made to abolish capital punishment for pledges. Motion de
feated... Smoked more Marlboros. Quell/ joie! And so to bed.
TUESDAY: Faculty tea at the house. Spilled pot of oolong
on Dean of Women. She very surly. Offered her a Marlboro.
Still surly. Offered skin graft. No help . . . Dinner at Eozy
'Campus Rafe-24 hamburgers. But no dessert. Have to watch
aistline . . And so to bed.
WEDNESDAY: Got our marks in English lit quiz. Lucky
for me Shakespeare wrote Canterbury Tales! . . Afternoon date
with Ralph Feldspar. Purely platonic. Ralph wanted to con
sult me about love trouble he's having with his girl Nymphet
Calloway. I assured him things would get better. Ralph said
he certainly hopes so because last four times he called on
Nymphet, she dumped vacuum cleaner bag on him ... Smoked
several Marlboros. Wonderful cigarette. No confusion about
which end to light. Saves loads of time ... Dinner at house—
bread. That's all; just bread . . . And so to bed.
TIEURSDAY: Three packages from home—laundry, cookies,
records. So hungry I ate all three ... Quiz in American history.
If Millard Fillmore didn't invent cotton gin, I'm in big trouble
. .. Dinner at house. Big excitement—Nymphet Calloway an
nounced her engagement to Ralph Feldspar. While sorors
flocked around to congratulate Nymphet, I ate everybody's
side meat ... Then smoked Marlboro. Oh, what a piece of work
is Marlboro' And so to bed.
I t ,
'me lazi ofiliii
FRIDAY: Got our marks in American history quiz. Was
shattered to learn that Millard Fillmore did not invent cotton
gin. He «rote Canterbury Talcs . . . How very odd! ... Lunch
at the house—bread hash .. Marlboro after lunch. Great smoke.
Must send valentine to manufacturers . . . Spent entire after
noon getting dressed for date tonight with Norman Twonkey.
Norman is dall, dark, loaded—a perfect doll! Only thing wrong
is he never tells a girl where he's going to take her. So I put
on a bathing suit, on top of that an evening gown, and on top
of that a tmoii suit. Thus I was ready for a splash party, a dance,
or a toboggan slide . .So what do you think happened? He
entered me in a steeplechase, that's what! ... Would have taken
first prize easily if I hadn't pulled up lame in Me last furlong
... And so to bed. C 1059
Yes, the college life is a busy one and you may be having
trouble choosing the cigarette that's right for you. Here's
a handy guide: For filter plus flavor—Marlboro. For flavor
without filter—Philip Morris. For filter plus flavor plus cool
ness—Alpine . . . All made by the sponsors of this column.
