Modest Request Enters
Governor's Budget
Today the Pennsylvania legislature will prob
ably hear Governor James' suggested budget for
the 1941-43 biennium. The .governor has been
asked to include in that budget $5,619,545 for the
maintenance of the Pennsylvania State College.
This is an increase of $1,194,545 over the amount
granted for 1939-41. Even so it brings the annual
appropriation, half the biennial, to only $2,809.-
'772 which is quite a modest sum when compared
with the amounts other states appropriate to their
/and grant college.
Fifth in enrollment among the land grant col
leges of the United States and its possessions last
year, Penn State was 11th in the size of its state
appropriation.
The following table shows briefly the enroll
ments and state appropriations granted the largef
land grant colleges:
1. Univ. of California ..
2. University of Illinois
3. Univ. of Minnesota
4. Louisiana State Univ
5. Ohio State Univ. ....
6. Univ. of Wisconsin
7: Cornell Univ. ....
6.• Michigan State .
9. Univ. of Missouri
10. Purdue Univ. ...
11. Penn State
The figure for Penn State represents a one-year
share or half of the biennial appropriation. The
same applies to the other colleges because most
state legislatures make up their budgets for two
years at a time.
Enrollment statistics, of course, include all types
of' enrollment—graduate- and undergraduate, resi
dent and non-resident, extension and correspond
ence.
Even though it gets the increased appropriation
it has asked. Penn State's annual figure would be
boosted only to $2,809,772 and eighth place'on the
above scale.
In view of all this, the College's request is ex-
tremely modest. Even so Governor James is eic-
pected to propose a figure considerably below the
-request. If he does, we can hope the Legislature
will see fit to increase it.
Note On Commencement
In his commencement address which was en
tirely conventional and within the accepted
mould, "Bull" Durham, the Mr. Chipi of Cornell,
pointed out one thing a lot of college students miss
both while they are in college and after they grad
uate.
"The test of a college," Bull Durham said, "is
not in athletic teams, not its buildings, not its
campus, not the size of its enrollment, not the size
of its endowment, not its administrative officers
and not even—as ,you might think—its faculty.
The test of any college is its product, the graduate
end by what its product does the college must
stand or fall."
New Make-Up
Starting with this issue and for a trial period
only The Daily Collegian is adopting, a completely
streamlined make-uti, dropping column rules from
its page and making other changes to accord with
The Collegian will watch with interest reader
reaction to the present effort to improve the ap
pearance of the paper• and will welcome, as it does
on all other subjects, its readers' considered criti
cisms.
Real Loss
In the departure of its graduate counselor, C.
RUssell Eck, the Collegian is suffering a real loss.
Eck, who was business manager of the old Penn
State Collegian last year, helped give the new
daily a firm organization on which to proceed and
through his untiring work has helped it through
