Hove You Ever
Heard of Bundling
(From page ane.)
. “About four years ago I was
skirmishing through the attic of the
Fulton House—an attic about nine-
ty feet long and filled with a vari-
ety of exhibits, left by long line of
proprietors—when I came across a
sign which puzzled me. It was an
age-yellowed card in the sort of
ornamental frame affected in South-
ern Pennsylvania a hundred years
ago, and this is what is said:
BUNDLING
BY HOTEL GUESTS
PROHIBITED
As they say in Allentown, “it
wondered me,” but I was unable to
find even an old-timer who knew
what it meant. I thought it might
refer to baggage arrangements, or
something of that sort. Had 1
looked in the dictionary I should
have known the meaning - immedi-
ately. “But I didn’t think of Mr.
Webster, This week, however, I
to see a book printed pri-
vately by the Aurand Pregs, of
Harrisburg, and at last I knew the
reason for the ancient. warning. I
spent two or three hours in the at-
tic today, looking for it, without
success. I understand there is a
gentleman in town who knows
where it went; and tomorrow he
will be home,
The title of the 'Aurand-printed
volume is ‘“‘Bundling’, ‘And More
About Bundling’.” It deals with a
practice declared to be existent to-
day in some sections of Pennsylvan-
ja, although considered long since
abandoned; and existing, too, it is
said, in Vermont and Connecticut,
in Ireland, Wales and certain parts
of England. The volume is, first a
reprint of a book printed over half
a century ago in which “Bundling”
is roundly condemned; and, second,
some thoughts on the subject by A.
M. Aurand, Jr., Harrisburg. When
I say I never heard of “bundling”
until a short time ago I tell the
truth, but it occurs to me that few
other persons know about it.
What is “bundling?” Let Mr.
Webster himself tell:
“To sleep or lie, as lovers, on the
game bed without undressing.”
Through that section of Pennsyl-
vania inhabited by those kown as
“Pennsylvania Germans” the pecul-
liar habit of primitive peoples; and
mont. Perhaps the first
men, in the very dawn of history,
when regardless of ties of affinity
or concanguinity, men, women and
children huddled together in the
darkness, and slept. It continued
through the thousands of years. It
was prevalent among simple savages
who wore not even a breach clout,
but who—though there were no an-
atomical secrets in the tribe—were
moral without knowing it. ‘Doubt-
the hereafter ..for those who are
moral without knowing it. Such re-
wards seem te: be held in store only
the pleasures of being bad. In Am-
erica bundling began when log huts
became too small to accomodate
with separate sleeping apartments
the family and its visitors; and it
reached its pinnacle when in Berks,
Lancaster and Lebanon counties,
Pennsylvania and their lovers “bun-
dled” with the full knowledge of
parents who saw no wrong in the
practice. It is recorded - that occa-
sionally there were mis-steps, but
not often—compared with the ex-
tent of the observance,
So you will understand why I am
curious over what become of the
“No Bundling” sign which once
must have ornamented this ancient
hotel. Perhaps it hung on the wall
in the room where the teamsters
bantered the proprietor, or in the
bar-room immediately in the rear.
Or perhaps it hung in the old hall,
where wayfarers saw it on their
journeys to their rooms. The oldest
resident knows nothing about it—
never heard of “bundling”—al-
though he is so old that he was
standing on the steps of the Fulton
House the morning of June 30,
1863, when Confederate and Union
soldiers had their memorable skirm-
ish in front of the hotel. The warn-
ing sign was even then in the attic,
perhaps. But did “it greet the
eves of William Henry Harrison
when he stayed overnight at the
Fulton House in January of 1841, a
month before he became President
of the United States, and three
months before he died? And did he
know what it meant?
A gentleman #o whom 1 talked
concerning the ancient custom gave
it as his opinion that bundling was
possible among people with unstable
jar practice of bundling was com- |
mon enough some years after the |
Civil War; and a wayfarer on the|
porch of this hotel today told me |
that in less than four hours drive |
from MecConnellsburg he can show |

curs in 1928, and the residents of |

said they were. 1 suggested he
meant “unmoral.” He said only
cappers and those whose morals
are oblique differentiate between
“Immoral” and unmoral.” But
Mr. Webster does. “Un-moral,” he
says, does not involve immorality,
but indicates the absence of moral

Like the old-time religion, it was
good enough for their forefathers,
and it’s geod enough for them.
Doubtless there are readers of
this column who imagine the Aun-
yand book is'a comtribution to the
pronogrephie literature of this de-
cadent age, but they are mistaken.
It is a historical account of a pecu-
on, is to act contrary to conscience
or morality. So I side with Mr.
Webster. And I side against the
gentleman who questioned the mor-
als of the old-timers—or of the pre-

bundlers subjected themselves to

than which there is no other—but

College makes necessary the daily
use of a variety of attics, base-
ments and storerooms for student
classes and research lajoratories,
it is pointed out by college officials
in telling why the proposed §8,-
000,000 bond issue for college
buildings should be approved by
voters at the coming general elec-
tion on November 6.
Insistent public demand for ser-
vice by the college, coupled with
inadequate building appropriations,
is' the reagon for the crowded con-
ditions that could be relieved in
the passage of the bond issue, a
statement issued by the college
this week declares.
Penn State’s student body has
grown five times as fast as the
building space since 1905. In
that year there were about 800
students who comfortably filled the
available buildings. Now there
are over 4000 students, an in-
crease of 546 percent, who must
be crowded with a correspondingly
increased faculty into a physical
plant that has increased only 120
percent since 1905.
Even in newer buildings at the
college, classrooms and laborator-
ies are used by one third to one-
half more students than the num-
ber for which they were designed.
The same crowded conditions exist
in offices and libraries,- Thous-
ands of dollars worth of valuable
equipment must be kept in a num-
ber of frame buildings erectes
twenty to thirty years ago as
“temporary” quarters when the
college was experiencing its first
“growing pains.” The major work
of nine academic departments is
conducted in these buildings which
need immediate replacement.
the majority of them withstood it.
And were better for it. In the old-
en days there were saloons on every
corner there were men who boasted
they had never taken a .drink in
their lives, and were proud ef it.
But these men were entitled to far
less credit than those who drank
their share and became teetotalers.
So with the bundlers.
I imagine bundlers are roundly
condemned by a great many readers
of this column, by this time. Please
understand this: These old-time
sleepers were practically clothed.
Perhaps the word “practically” is
mis-used; at least they were almost
entirely clothed. So are occupants
of the automobile parked in the
dark, the occupants on the swing
on the dark corner of the porch,
the lovers on the davenport in the
dimly lighted living reom. What's
the difference? One is 1928; the
other is mot. Or is there really
bundling today? The celumn would
really like to know. Is it true,

The best time of the year to in-

and begin laying early in the month

have a young, vigorous queen. In
