Haller The School of Chemistry and Physics welcomes to the campus its members who have spent their first year with the cooperating colleges. We believe that those of you who have made successful records so far can expect to con tinue those records here. While the great scientific advances of the past few years may require more diligence in your academic efforts, they also have multipied greatly the opportunities in your chosen fields. We all hope that you will better the good records of vour predecessors. —George L. Haller, Dean School of Chemistry & Physics Buildings Are 1 6% Complete Three camtius building prelects being carried nut under the Com "■’omvealth’s poct-war construc- tion program have reached an average of about Jfi ner cent of completion, Harry O. Mevner, re oresenting the Pennsylvania De- Dartment of Property and Sup plies on the projects, said yester day. The Plant Industries building, on Shortlidge road near Curtin, is 20 per cent completed. The class room building, to be named Will ard Hall in memory of the late J M. Willard, head of mathematics from 1894 to 1923, is nearly 15 per cent built. The Mineral Sciences building, at the corner of Pollock road and Burroughs street, is 12 per cent built. Work on this project was briefly delayed when unexpected rock formations were encounter ed early this summer. Tardiness of steel shipments added to the delay, but with the arrival of steel expected this week, erection will resume normal speed, Mr. Meyner said. He added that all three build- ings should be enclosed by Dec ember 1, and that he foresees no difficulty in meeting the sched uled completion date of May 12, 1949. The three-story Plant Indus tries building will house the de partments of horticulture and agronomy, including appropriate laboratories, classrooms, and of fices. Planned classroom capacity of Willard Hall is 1500 students, in addition to office space for the registrar, bursar, and college examiner. A pneumatic tube sys tem will provide communication with Old Main. This red brick, U-shaped structure eventually will be expanded southward parallel to the Mall. Similarly, the Mineral Sciences building will be capable of ex pansion southward along Bur rowes road. The first unit, of red brick with limestone trim, will resemble the Mineral Industries building in design. It will accom odate an enlarged mineral indus tries experiment station as well FLORAL GARDENS WELCOMES ALL THE NEW STUDENTS TO OUR BEAUTIFUL PENN STATE CAMPUS WOODRING'S Education Marlon R. Trabuo Welcome to The Pennsylvania State College! We hope that you will enjoy and benefit by the op portunities available to you here. Please bear in mind that the College is attempting to serve as large a proportion as it possibly can of the young people who want to come here. All of us real ize that the ideal conditions needed for best educational re sults cannot be provided for all the large numbers of students now in attendance. That would reouire more classrooms, labora tories. offices, and living quarters than are now available. What vou get out of your work here will depend upon what you nut into it. If you have what it takes to make good against strong competition and under crowded conditions, vour efforts can be very profitable. On the other hand, if you are looking for someone else to do your work for vou. this is not the college you should attend. Faculty members in the School of Education are alwavs glad to help those students who are trving sincerely to improve themselves. We are interested in your success, and we shall do everything we can to assist you in its achievement®. —Marlon R.
