your room did you know that there are two stuffed cranes which have been abandoned behind the stair case in packer hall these two birds have been standing quietly in the darkened corner for nearly a quarter of a century it seems that these cranes were a part of a collection given to the university many years ago of this collection professors of biology se lected those specimens best suited for their work and left the re mainder to be stored in the base ment of packer hall thus two cranes unwanted by the department finally found their way to packer hall but in transit they were lost stolen or strayed away from the rest of the group since 1917 these two lonely birds have made their home in an old showcase which has lacked glass for years formerly of white plu mage the cranes have taken on a dusty gray coat one of the birds is leaning against the wall as if tiring of its position throughout the years very few persons in the uni versity have ever seen these birds and only three or four know any thing about them why they are there and what they are doing there alone and not on exhibition these cranes stand waiting for a final transfer to the basement but they seem to have been forgotten long ago and now nobody cares whether or not these birds are ever brought out into the light of day lehigh university will become a repository during the coming year for sample yearbooks of
