One of the goals of American higher education should be to so direct the complete development of our students that they may finish college equipped for their places in society as socially, physically, intellectually, and spiritually healthy men and wo men.

'lt seems now that the day is coming when we are to see', the results of the earnest endeavors of many former and present members of the student body who saw the importance of such a building, and the pant it would play in our campus life. The most difficult obstacles have been hurdled and the groundwork has been laid for the recreational center that may foe destined to be the pride of the campus. A greater part of the enormous amount of capital needed; for its erection will come from a forth coming campaign to be conducted among State’s 35,000 alumni. It is believed that the undergrad uates will want to take part no matter how meager their contri butions may be. , To watch the progress of such a building would be an inspira tion, to take an active part in its planning and conduction would stimulate the pride of any Penn Stater.
