Correspondence with Henry W. Shoemaker, 1914-1915.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/33319066

Richard Ernesti, head of the Dept. of Fine and Industrial Arts, Pennsylvania State College, corresponds with Henry W. Shoemaker about adopting an "emblem" for the school to be called Chief Nittany and requests historical information. Shoemaker replies that Mt. Nittany was named for an Indian maiden (not chief) and recounts the legend. Ernesti instead paints Chief Woapalanee (Bald Eagle) for the proposed "emblem" but Shoemaker suggests that Chief Lappowinzo would be more appropriate.
