Unsigned editorials are writhe kr the OP* Still Growing Penn State's growth is still continuing, as the official inauguration of its eighth undergraduate school, Home Economics, testifies. That the establishment of the new school was far from unwarranted is shown by the diversity of its educational offerings, and the breadth of its fields of study. This wide range of interest is revealed by the imposing list of the School's departments, which includes child development and family relation ships, clothing and textiles. Foods and nutrition, home economics education, home management, housing and art; and hotel and institutional administration. Additionally, there are the divisions of home management, family economics, housing and home equipment; and home art in the department of home management, housing and art, as well as the divisions of commercial consumer services and home community relationships. The Board of Trustees is to be commended for authorizing this progressive move, and congratu lations are in order for Dean Grace Henderson and the administrative officials who organized the new school. But it is to be fervently hoped that we don't stop here, that the flood of progress be permitted to continue, reaching out into ever-widening realms of academic interest. Even now a need exists for at least two more new schools. Courses in the arts, for instance, are scattered through many departments in several schools. In addition to the arts curricula in Liberal Arts, architecture and art history come under the School of Engineering. The combination of all such courses into a School of Fine Arts would be another forward move. Still another essential addition would be a School of Business.

The gift should be something of value which is needed on the campus and which is not readily obtainable with the funds that are currently available. It was with a great deal of alarm that I read in a recent Daily Collegian, "... the biggest part of the fund should go into a single gift so that it would be known as the gift of the class of '49." It makes me shudder to think that the class of '49 might be egotistical enough to choose a gift that would merely render lip service to our school. Would it not be far better to contribute our seven thousand odd dollars to a fund for a student press, for example, and sacrifice our "class of '49 publicity" for a weapon which can carve out a better school and a better nation? —Charles S. Phelan. '49. • As Collegian news editor, Mr. White's in terest in the student press should be obvious. The intent of his remark was that the fund would be more useful in one place, whether or not the class of '49 received exclusive credit, than dissipated among several causes.
