Junior Prom, and Soph Hop, as well as of many Student Union and College Was Known As Farmer’s High School in 1863 (Continued from pane one) erton, had been found, destined to serve nearly a quarter of a century. He received an institution of one, building, Old Main, completed in December, ISC3, a massive but for bidding structure, with a dark, almost prison-like interior, a student body so depleted in numbers that it scarce ly exceeded the faculty, and with a reputation and name over the State (however unjust) of an educational failure and not entitled to the pro ceeds of the Land Grant. With rare determination and in sight, he placed the work of the in stitution squarely upon its charter, won the people of the Commonwealth to its support, found in Governor James A. Beaver, a life-long friend of the College, a tower of strength and enthusiasm. A revamping of Old Main was be gun, over-crowded departments began their exodus to new buildings. The schools were organized in 389 G, dor mitories were erected, a University Inn, and the first buildings by pri vate donors, the Carnegie Library and Schwab Auditorium. Agriculture began its modern development with a building program and expansion of facilities under the aegis of The Al lied Agricultural Societies in 1S)00.

Liberal studies were strengthened, departments of physical ; ..education, forestry, home economics, the calori meter and research activities were established, a Summer School and Farmers’ Institutes fostered.. . Dr. Atherton left the institution firmly established in the hearts of the people of the Commonwealth as the crown of the free public,, school system, an institution of nearly one thousand students, thirty buildings, nineteen four-year courses, and (with surprisingly few omissions) all the major lines of development of a mod ern State university, at least in em bryo. Thus the College groped its way during the first quarter century. It “found itself” under President Ather ton. during the second quarter cen tury. Its rapid development has come during the third quarter century, and peculiarly so in the last five years. President Sparks, Thomas and Ilot zel arc three different types of'execu tives. Under Dr. Sparks the student body grew almost phenomenally, popularizing and extension activities were greatly increased, the Summer School established on a new basis in 1010. Comprehensive building plans were outlined, and genuine additions to the plant made. More adequate support was provided in which the active cooperation of Governor Toner should be noted. President Sparks bore a huge bur den during the Great War—a burden which sapped his strength to the breaking point, leading to his retire ment in 1020. Dr. Sparks handed over to President John Marlin Thom- nish the rhythm for local affairs. Hugo Be/.dek (inset) is head of the School of Physical Education and Athletics, which has headquar ters in the building. 6-^gD* ...> RICHARD K.
