Recreation Hall, center of activi
ties and life at I’emt Stale, is also
the location of the three major class
dances each year: Senior Hall.

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.
Engineering owes its first adequate
housing to Governor Pattison who
became a warm friend of Penn State
duripg his second administration,!

tions in his vetoes of the bills of 1883
and 18S5.
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.
