The School of Engineering ex
tends a very cordial welcome to
its incoming students of 1949.
'you are entering a strong in
stitution, by' any standard of mea
sure that might be applied, and
believe you have chosen wisely
in selecting ydtir curriculum. You
May have thought of the study of
engineering' as preparation for a
very specific type -of career.
lii a sense that is true. But in
a _broader sense the study of en
gineering, If properly pursued, 1 4
a good preparation for a wide
variety of ocdupptions. This is
sh9wn plainly by the successful
careers of many engineering
gradhates in a great many lines
of Work that are not strictly en
gineering.
One reason' for this is that , the
study of engineering, as of other
• sciences also, requires that degree
of application and thoroughness
which goei a long way to develop
mental capacity.
Another is the fact, less well
appreciated perhaps, .that the en
gineering curriculum is not nar
rowly specialized, but broad both
in purpose and content; At Penn
State, for example, we require as
many credits in English as do the
curricula in Liberal Arts.
It is important for engineering
students to ,realize these broader
aspects. of 'their' education and - ita
objectives; tbo often they are
inclined to think of their college
work as preparation for very
specific fields or types of jobs.
The retraining undergraduate
years that are ahead of you can
be, arid ought to be, the moat
valuable of your lives.:Never be
fore have you had the `same free
dom.of opportUnit4r t 9 prepare for
a future all that you are capable
of achieving, and never again will
- yoii be to the same extent your
own '• hos. "
Penn State is a good place in
which. to do this. It is up to you
to realiZe on the opportunities
for growth that it affords in the
best and the broadest sense- of
that term.

I am very happy to wP42ome
to the campus the new students
in Liberal Arts—freshmen, sopho
more, and transfer students. You
may find the first few days here
berwildering and frustrating; but
in a short time you will have ac
quired a sense of direction and
then you will begin to feel at
home. .
The best advice I can give is
to encourage you to make use of
all the resources of the College.
Make it your business to get to
know your adviser; consult the
other college officials whenever
you feel that they can serve you;
learn to know your way around
the library; take full advantage
of the social and recreational fa
cilities of the institution. '
Don't neglect the chance to be
came acquainted with 'the coun
tryside; Centre County will be at
its best within a few weeks.
Above all remember "that your
first respohsibility is to your
'academic assignments; xlon't per
mite yourselves to be beguiled
