Suddenly the future of the College assumed a much brighter aspect. A goal that could he realized was established. Progressive and aggressive direction brought this about. Now eleven years after President Hetzel crystal- lized this College, a building program is begun that will place Penn State in the position that the voters and taxpayers of Pennsylvania will cherish as the- ed- ucational medium for their children that are worthy of. such attention. Far-sighted governmental dispensation of public mon- ies'has made possible this energetic accomplishment 'of placing Penn State in the scope of life-rays from the blazing sun of intellectual achievement that is burn- ing more brightly each year. The students are grateful for all this. They are im pressed with the College that is to be their alma mater. They realize that there are many things to be done to the College. As the sculptor who first receives his lump of clay, it is their destiny to shape that which they 'have been It is. not the student body alone that should be grate- ful; The citizens of State College have been given a l>oom and a future prosperity that will linger as long .is education is a sound method of preparing the young for the world. It was to create such a flow of money and wealth that the original PWA grant was given Pennsylvania. It was far-sighted thinking that prompt- ed the General State Authority to promote education with some of that money. For the creation of college men and women in Pennsylvania is the safest insur- ance that Pennsylvania has in her struggle to provide her people with opportunities to satisfy her economic and political needs. What sovereignty our government possesses lies in the ability of her voters to think It is with gratitude and an overwhelming awe of the future that we welcome Governor Earle to the campus. He represents the people in this dedication of a greater and more worthy Penn State, The College has had friends in the past who have done their bit toward betterment. The Governor and the State Authority assume kingpin seats in this re- spect today Friends will he necessary when the College faces the future after today’s era of history has been completed. MORE RUILDINGS—MORE WALES Now that nil the hustle and bustle is over in pro- viding more classrooms for more students, serious t hought should he given to furnishing the students with something to supplement “book-lamin’.” Following the movement toward murals throughout Ihe country, Dean Steidle plans murals for the walls of his new Mineral Industries addition, and they ave also being planned for the new Library and the Wo men's Athletic building. Through the Federal Art Project the services of an accomplished mtirnlist could advantageously be obtained at a nominal expense fee, and WPA murals in all the new hui!dings would provide the students with n deep- CAMPUSEER i >*i i ■ i -■ n■ i #r iriviHjfS “^^"****i^* Dedication: On this day in thirty-eight. “Campy" wishes to dedicate To Governor Earle and Prexy gay And guests of honor here today This weekly column, free from “trash," Since only the worthy deserve to crash.

Nittang Pow-wow: In the valley, of the Nittany By the Glennland’s shining waters Stood the education center Stood those pinnacles of learning; Where the farmer and the chemist Learned their tricks of making money. To the valley of the Nittany Came the shovel and the tractor * Came the fifteen thousand workmen; Tore the campus sward asunder, Thoughtless of the hopes for May Day Relentlessly the monsters wreaked Upon the innocents, their vengeance. Helplessly the students watched them, Watched destruction all around them; Wrung their hands and wept their sorrow When paths to classes were denied them. In the year of thirty-eight After months of stern oppression .. 7 ' ; Came great Nittany’s Valley. Congregated for a reason. Hopefully the students joined them, Met in Recreation Tepee. There they saw Chief Heap-Big Hetzel, College President, Chief Hetzel, There, saw Earle, the Great White Fatlipr, From the Susquehanna region. Come from Harrisburg to save them. At last, the students saw the reason, Reason for the rack and ruin, Heard the plans for marvelous structures Saw salvation for their homeland Left. Rec Tepee, a joyous body, Filled with glee and exultation. Observing it arithmetically—if all the bricks to be u c ed in the College building program were placed end to end, they would form a row three inches wide! Beware, you daughters and sons of learning! The shovels and cranes at work on the campus are only adding to the pitfalls of College life.

If they recognized the signs,’'they might do something about it. . “The completion of Frances Ather ton .Hal L-and the Women's Activities Building will-.-bring to the women of “Penri/State many opportunities ilong desired. With such material advan tages provided, there comes a respon sibility .for high thinking and the citizenship .needed in a democracy. The •\vomen'*'of'our College, rising to such a challenge, will achieve an in fluence hitherto impossible. In fact, they may help to direct the new era now dawning at Penn State.” ARTHUR R. WARNOCK Deun Of Men “lyhen we consider that our pres ent eleven. million dollar campus is being increased by six and a half mil lion dollars worth of new.construc tion, we know that something is hap pening that is worth a ceremonial celebration; There is a part in this happy event for all of us.” 11ALPI1 L. WAITS N Dean Of Agriculture “The- .new buildings ought to strengthen-the enrollment, and pro vide much-needed .facilities for gradu ate, work. Far more important, it will relieve over-crowded office con ditions. “It is impossible to do sustained work, especially in research, in such crowdedconditions. Primarily the to the'School of Agriculture-will be in staff efficiency rather than in enrollment;, although, add ed facilities*a^e;expected_ to a.ttrac! • . _t- • ' FRANK C. WHITMORE Bean Of Chemistry and Physics “The Chemistry buildings were far too crowded-for the type of work con ducted in tHefh even before the Chem istry Annexvwent up in flames.

However, wif/le we are eagerly await ing the completion of that building, it will 'little! more than replace the ‘Bull Pen.' I'Our one hope to relieve the over-crowded conditions is that the space allotted us is increased.” If- MARION R. TRABUE Dean Of Education “The addition of a new and mod ern building, will be a great assert, although the new building will lack both; adequate research facilities and class rooms. It will contain only of flees and psychological research lab oratories. “It is difficult to see how the in creased number of buildings will add 'to the genera! student enrollment, since at present there are 6,000 stu dents' in space adequate for 3,500. The new program of buildings should build up the facilities of the College to the present enrollment. It will provide no facilities to take care of additional students in the School of Education.” « HARRY P. HAMMOND Dean. Of Engineering “The erection of the new Electrical Engineering building under the Gen eral State Authority’s .program will relieve a condition of congestion in the Engineering School that has be come well nigh intolerable. Although there are nine buildings of various sizes in the engineering group, these buildings are very seriously over crowded "because the school provides instruction not only for its own stu dents but for the students of almost every other school on the campus. Be side that, the engineering buildings are used for classes by many other departments of the College. “The new Electrical Engineering building embodies all of the best fea tures that could be combined in its design after a prolonged study of the needs of the department and of the best practices employed in other re cent structures. Not only will the building be useful, but it will also b? a strikingly handsome addition to our campus. I feel that it will add ma terially to the effectiveness of the outstanding work-which our depart ment of electrical engineering, under the leadership of Prof. Charles L. Kinsloe, has been doing.” , FRANK D. KERN Dean Of Graduate School “Among numerous recent develop ments here at Penn State, the au thorization of the $5,000,000 building program is outstanding.-- We hail it with the .greatest, delight and satis faction. Those* of'us'who'are charged with; the promotion of- the academic program of the institution feel that we owe a great debt to the adminis .rutive officials of the state and ihe college for these fine building plans. “To them our heartfelt thanks are extended. Many of our limitations of the past years will be removed. We will be.able to press forward our min istry to the state and nation in a way otherwise impossible.” 1 EDWARD STEIDLE Dean Of Mineral Industries “The present building housing the School of Mineral Industries will ben efit by one of the- major, projects in the program which will make avail able to the School additional labora tory facilities and provide for proper housing of the continually expanding museums and art gallery of mineral industrial scenes in Pennsylvania. “The addition to the Mineral In dustries building will provide urgent ly needed laboratory space for under graduate instruction in metallurgy, ceramics, petroleum and natural gas engineering, .fuel technology, geogra- THE CORNER to Building Program phy, geophysics, and the like. Anoth er important consideration is the fact that.it will provide .for facilities for certain laboratory instruction and re search which are not available in the present building." CHARLES \V. STODDART Dean Of Liberal Arts “The new building program, will provide sorely-needed class rooms. At present the class rooms are widely scattered and offices are badly need ed. The new program will include the facilities necessary to the admission of more students. “It will permit the College to grow faster,. therefore in taking new stu dents we should choose and select them more carefully. The ratio of boys to girls, here should decrease since more women will be taken in through the added facilities of Frances Atherton Hall.” ' ‘ " CARL P. SCHOTT Dean Of Phys. Ed and Athletics “The new building program marks! the beginning'of a new- era for the Pennsylvania -State College.
