mal years the Pennsylvania State Ag
imultutal society had been consider

called the "farm teller' program of
that period Chemists and others
v.ere discovering things about farm
plants, their growth, habits, diseases
and insect pests. Agricultural lead
ers, with an eye peeled to the datums
of the industry, also had an ear to
the ground on the then existing con
ditions. Boys fortunate eonugh to go
to college were mostly studying law,
medicine and for the ministry. No at
tention was being paid to agriculture
and industry.
About the time that the State Aga

was Frederick Watts, of Carlisle, who

latme of 1857 gave 550,000 foe a

Celebrated for his proof of he as

Evan Pugh became the first president
of the institution in 1859 The next
legislature approprinted $49,000 for
the completion of Old Main. It was
under Do. Pugh's bile administtation
of four years that the institution laid
, the foundation as a leader in agrienl-
1 tural education and research, and his
vision is partly iesponsible for the
founding of the land grant colleges,
one in each state.
It was about the time that the State
Agricultural society was incoming to
establish the new school that agticul
oral and industrial leaders were active
in Washington. The demand for a
different type of higher education re
sulted in the passage of the Murrill
Land Grant College Act of Congress
which was signed by Abraham Lin
coln on Judy 2, 1862 It provided lot
the establishment of institutions of
highei learning, where it was speci
fied that "the leading object shall be
to promote the liberal and practical
education of the industrial classes in
the several pursuits and mofesions of
life" On April 1 of the next }ear
the Pennsylvania legislature passed
an act declaring "the Morrill Act 15'

TO SENIORS
A FTER the years of college then there comes
1 - 1- to many men the most trying period
of their careers. What place does the v?orld
have for them? For what niche has their train
rug best suited them? Where do they fit?
It is to these seniors who have not yet fully
decided on their future that this advertisement
is addressed.
The S. S. Kresge Company has an opportunity
for college men who are ambitious enough and
capable enough to reach the top—yet who are
willing to start at the bottom. These men we
train to be store managers and to occupy other
executive positions—well paid positions involv
ing a share in the Kresge profits. The men
selected are given intensive preparation for their
future executive positions, they are instructed
in every detail of store management and they
are advanced as rapidly as they become familiar
with the Kresge policy and the Kresge methods
of merchandising. The work is not easy but the
reward is not small—an executive position in
the Kresge organization which operates 510
stores with an annual volume of business dose
to $150,000,000.
If a career such as those described here appeals
to you, write our Personnel Department and a
Kresge representative will be sent to give you a
personal interview.
