Troanovitch was nothing nun e than a symbol of this turbulent period j in Penn State history.

Tioanovitch attempted to the best of his ability to purge the College of outworn and useless institutions, he fought for the right of students to express themselves on issues which affected them both as "students and as cam- ens of the Commonwealth. He was the studelit Voice in ' a maddening era of change The Collegian had no loom, has no room, for partisan pussyfoots who seek shelter in a middle course.
