The growtl of the college is due
in large measure to the county and
city clubs which look up prospective
students and care for them on arri
val at the college. These clubs are
dependent I upon an unoccupied
class room is a place of 'meeting.
We need , a Student Building with a num
ber of club rooms.
The Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation, one of the most active or
ganizations in the college has out,
grown and abandoned the room on ,
the fifth floor in Old Main: it must
depend upon the — Old. Chapel and
the Auditorium for - its' assemblies.
Its business must be transacte.d in
two small rooms' in Old Main and"
these must also serve as a , club
room. It "has no place in which to
entertain the 'guests that come at va
rious times to address its , Sunday
meetings. The Young Men's Chrisliail
Association needs a Student Buildinz.
The increasing number of frater
nity houses, each forming a little
ciub,' tends to break the student
body into groups. Tlie men living in
the large dormitories have small
means of coming into contact with , a
fraternity house and consequently
they miss the pleasures i of the club
life of its members. The democrati
spirit of '"Penn State' s heeds a club
open tolall students. Class meet
ings are held 'in the Old Chapel, 'a
room frequently, rendered uncom
fortable in cold weather; secrecy in
