POST-ELECTION PRAYER
TUESDAY nay Elrction Day in Penncylva
Voters tin oughout the entire state marched to
polling Jinni hs and alerted .1 Republican adminis
tration beaded by gripeilot Con, 1 Judge Ai Lhor
11 Janie,
With the election of Judge James and the 11.1-
[oration of the Republican iegime in this, state,
th Dntocratic Patty which catapulted to powet in
the Democtatic Patty which catapulted to pnwel to
of office Defeated, among others, vete Democrat
ie Govei not Gem ge 11 Mule and Centre County's
Demociatic Senator Edmai d Jackson Thompson—
two men who have done mote for this College and
I'm education in the state as a whole in the last
yearsinto than anyone done dining the past
'evenly years
For, not since Governor Andrew Gregg Cur ,
tin accepted the Morrill Land-Grant College
Act on April 1, 1863, has there been a state ad
ministration mole cognizant of the educational
needs of this state, more willing to drive ahead
and Improve the educational facilities regard
less of the handicaps that befell them
FOR TWENTY-FIVE years after the accept
ance of thetllorttll Act, this College foundered
on the bunk of oblivion—mauled by conflicting
political interests thioughout the state, desper
ately pressed to hold on to its land grant
As the nineteenth century ebbed t o
‘ its close,
the College remained housed in single huildincf ,
—Old Main—a massive, forbidding structure with
a mison-like rater MI The student body was so
depleted it :caleely outnumbered the faculty Thtp,
forsaken by state administrations that came and
went milli the wind, the College•stond—unjustly
branded as an educational Witte
Theri, the Dark Ages began to clear away as
pi [vale funds came to the rescue. While con
servative Republicans sat in the State House, a
private donor built Carnegie Library at this
state institution While conservative Republi
cans Eat in the State House, a private donor
Wilt Schwab Auditorium at this state institu-
ticn While conservative Republicans sat on
the State House, the Allied Agricultui al Some
' ties launched the modern development of agri
culture here with a vast building program and
consequent expansion of existing facilities
Not until the :second administration of Repub
lican Covet not Pattison did the state tui n its
eyes upon thi n s College Foi eseeing the vast po
tentialities of this institution, Governor Pattiso'i
set off the ~ pai k which led to a phenomenal boost
in student enrollment, to a grcat increase in popu
lanzing and extension activities, to the establish
ment of the Summei School
THEN ONCE AGAIN came the Dark Ages,
snapped finally by the singular success of Presi
dent Ralph D lietzel in convincing the state ad
nunistiation of the needs of this institution, need,
which bad to be answered before the College could
hope to answer the increasing demands that were
being made upon it
Under enlightened Republican, administration,,
the College surged forward. Within a compara
tively slant time, it had added to its facilitie,
Recreation Hall, Engineming Building, Mineral
Indust' ms, Mem and Orange Dormitories, Lib
mai Ai ts and CM mistiy units, Power PI t it, Bat
uy
But again as the pendulum swept the other
way, the state administration tightened its
rwst strings, balked at continuing this pro
cressive expansion, prompted the College to go
on a financial diet—a diet that saw the Col
lege's facilities lag farther and 'father behind
studdnt•demands
Yet, because inaction leads only to: reaction,
this, too, was destined to end and in 1934—while
a libeial ie 4 awakenink" was.sweepin3 the nation—
the,fletriosratie Party rode into iitteli , lthsfinV - ern
Earle
CHECKED AT FIRST by .1 Republican Sen
ate, the Earle administration was.unable to whip
thiough its program as easily and as effectively
us it had hoped to do Two years later, however,
the break came as the Democrats moved into full
coati of of the State Legpilatuze,
In the too years that have followed, this Col
lege has on the uhole received adequate mainten
ince appioiniations It has under construction
now the greatest building program in its histiny
with chances of getting an additional 2 1 / 2 to five
million &Deis for still greater expansion of facil
ities It has in sight the increase of student en
rollment by some 3,000 within the next three years
It has had a long-range program of expansion, in
volving apprnvimately 10 millions of dollars, de
finitely outlined It has seen a drive started by
the Governor himself to change the College's rank
ing to university Yet the champion of most of this
has been Senator Thompson.
Whatever else may be said about the Earle
administration and about Senator Thompson in
particular—about their good points and bad,
about their political theories and political be
liefs—the Collegian believes that one of the
greatest contributions they have made in the
past four years is the fact that they have
served to bring to the people of this state a
more clear picture of Its woeful lack of educa
tional .facilities. And once having done so, they
not only devised .a constructive program go
remedy these ills but went out and idid some
thing about them.
It is in vies of these facts, therefore, that the
Collegian hopes Setvently 'that in January—and
in the four years to follow—Governor James and
Sonata' A. H. Letzler will see their way clear to
follow this progressive path, not to turn back
from it, to continue this improvement and ex
pansion of educational facilities, not to curtail
it.
For in the future of our educational system rests
