Now, 125 years later, one main campus and twenty-two Com monwealth campuses are celebrating the founding of PSU. Dr. William David, Highacres Campus Director, has been selected as the chairman of the committee that is chiefly respon sible for coordinating anniver sary activities at all campuses for the entire 'BO year. The Arts Festival, Art Panel dedication, Commencement exercises, and the Juliano Award (which recognizes the Penn Stater of the year) have been the main highlights that this campus has participated in thus far. The dedication of the front entrance was also planned as part of the 125th anniversary, but because of budget problems, it will not take place until next year.
