THE CENTER'S GREATEST NEED: New and Modern Buildings VOL. X No. 1 TO THE STUDENT BODY OF THE It is with great ' !satisfaction, that I welcome to the Hazleto Undergraduate Center the large class of students who will begi their sophomore year's work and the incoming group of 22 freshmen who will be getting their first taste of college life the Center. The new students will find, I believe, that the excellent Cl operation of the faculty members and administrative heads, plug the enthusiasm of the student body, will make this thirteentl academic year of the Center most successful in the history o] the college. A spirit of progressiveness has been prevalent at the Cent, since the foundation of this branch of The Pennsylvania Sta . College in 1934. It is to be, hoped that the incoming freshme) add to this spirit. True, we are handicapped by our lack of spaci. but I have every reasons to believe that new and modern build. ings will house 'the Hazleton Undergraduate Center within ; very few years. When that time comes every student of th, Center, past and present, will be able to say : "These new build• ings are here because of my efforts". I take pleasure in welcoming to the Center the nine ne faculty members who swell our staff to thirty teachers, th largest number in the history of the college. To the new teachers and students I say: "Good luck and may your stay be a pleasant one."
