'President Heteel'' communica
tion follows: -
"Accept my sincere Congrati

peculiar virtue of not growing
old with the passlng of the
years. The policy. and personnel
change with .e very twelfth
month so that in truth the COL
LEGIAN is only one .year old,
but, has had that experience
thirty times—in many respects '
an enviable peculiarity and one
that should preserye its virtue
while it constantly• renews its
vigor. May, we enjoy countless
years of its. constructive ser
vice!"
—Deana Comment on Activity

Dean‘of,itlen-Arthui.k.R.::-Waritock,
commenting.- on the -.worth. of the
COLLEGIAN, said "What.' a thrilling.
change 'the COLLEGIAN has seen and
reported in. its past, thirty years!
Imagine what it may see in the next
thirty! May it continue to be cap
able, alert, and useful!"
Said Dean Charlotte E. Ray, in
complimenting the COLLEGIAN, "I con
gratulate COLLEGIAN on its recent
editorials, 'its program of lecturing
the' important things of College life,
and its consistent effort to direct
student thought to the making of a
better College and a better 'world.
May the editors have the satisfaction
of realizing that a good college pub
lication is a pOwerful teacher."
-Dean Robert L. Sackett, of the
School of Engineering,' believes that
the function of the paper is "To give
the most important news;- to keep
alive the spirit of inquiry; to interp
ret live issues in its editorials; to
provide a vehicle for student expres
sion; .to review books. plays, music,
art, athletics;, to be decent and - fair.
The COLLEGIAN does' rather well these
essentials to good College news pur-
Veying.. More success to you."

Publication Organized by 5 Men
To 'Keep Us in the Rank
• Of Colleges' in 1901
Founded in 1904 as a three
column weekly news pamphlet,
the COLLEGIAN goes to 'press
today a seven column semi
weekly newspaper—celebrating
the growth of thirty years.
Originally printed to fill the
need, for a campus news-dis
penser upon the death of the
`Free Lance,' a semi-literary
publication that in its last years
appeared' at odd intervals, the
STATE COLLEGIAN, as it was
called, quickly grew to eight, ten,
and twelve pages.
3 Special Issues Published
Five men were instrumental' in or
ganizing and publishing the first issue
of the naper when they realized, as is
pointed out in the first editorial, that
a successor to the Free Loner must
be found "to lo:ep us in the rank of
colleges." Editors of the publication
were W. B. Hoke 'O5, Alex Hart jr.
'O5, T. F. Foltz 'O6, and F. H. Brew
ster 'O7, listed in that order upon the
masthead, while W. C. • Hackathorne,
'O6 Was business manager. .
During the-first year of 'ifs pliblica . -
tion. the paper carried nothing that
could be distinguished by the:name of
headlines. Most issues were eight
pages, measuring eight and one-half
by eleven
. and one-half inches, and
divided into three columns to the page.
During the first year, the format was
not changed at all, exo2pt that three
issues, Pennsylvania Day,- December
1, Lincoln Day, February 16, and the
Commencement number, June 13, were
bound in heavy paper covers.
Paper Enlarged In 1909
The first two cover's carried the
seal of the College in the center of
the front cover and it has remained
on the paper ever since, with the ex
ception of the last issue of 1904-05,
and the first five numbers 'the next
year.
Although the paper remained in
pamphlet form, the cardboard paper
cover was abandoned with the first
issue of 1909-10. With the abandon

COPY PREPARED IN
STUDENTS' ROOMS
First POper Written in Lodgings or
Prof. John IL FrizzellNow
Located in Old Main
From dingy little rooms and cubby
holes scattered around the town and
the campus to a modern well-lighted
and well-equipped room on the third
floor of Old Main runs the seen_ of
the center of journalistic activities
of the campus—the COLLEGIAN news
and editorial rooms.
Written hurriedly, hastily, first in
he room of Prof. John IL Frizzell, of
he public speaking • division, and
later in the students' room in the
'old' Old Main, and printed on a
small press in the Nittuny Printing
company building, the first papers
were little more than 'glorified'
pamphlets. But it was Penn State's
first authentic collegiate newspaper.
After the construction of the new
printing building on the site of the
former one, the editorial and business
staffs of the Paper had their offices
in two ten-by-ten rooms in the build
ing, inadequately lighted and poorly
equipped. In these quarters they con
tinued publication of the COLLEGIAN
until Old Main was reconstructed.
Through interested friends on the
faculty, provision was made in the
plans of ..the new administration
building to house, and thereby to
give final official recognition.to the•
COLLEGIAN. This inaugurates the
fourth year in which COLLEGIAN staffs
have labored to give the College com
plete local news coverage from its
location in'Old Main.
