lacking at Penn State all these
years.
'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.
