Ex-Dean Warnock Saw GrOwth
OE College During His Tenure
"I doubt if the past 30-year period has even been duplicated in
more than a very few American colleges and univer s ities," Arthur
R. Warnock, emeritus dean of men
the past three decades at the Coll
The community of State Co
Dean Warnock has been a resi
dent, and he has played a major
part in its development until his
retirement Sept. 1.
"The growth in size and stature
and the variety of experiences,
vicissitudes, and enjoyable plea
sures for facultyand students
alikd have made this period me
morable' and 'distinctive," the
former dean, who came to the
College in 1919, added in an inter
view. "It will never happen at
Penn , State again, for the boy
has grown up."
Indifferent
"Somehow or other,h he recalls,
"when we came here, people
didn't seem to be having a very
good time. They • weren't snob
bish, just indifferent."
The former dean found there
were many small circles in the
community and he set out to en
large the circles into community- ,
wide affairs. This project pro
vided the inspiration that' led him
into many community enter
prises.
As dean of men, he has had his
fingers in student activities. He
believes that a college student
can do more than anyone ,will
give give him credit for doing, if
given the chance.
Operating on this theory, he
has built the student government
system at the College into what
has become a model for many col
leges. He also has done much for
fraternities, especially in raising
their scholastic standards. ::Dean
Warnock. gained recognition in
national fraternity circles and
currently is educational , adviser
to the National Interfraternity
Council.
Has Moved
Dean Warnock has moved from
his campus home to a comfortable
little cottage bordering 'the Col
lege farms on Puddintown road.
Across the road a small stream
winds its way through a meadow,
while in the distance rises the
legendary • and
. always majestic
Mount Nittany.
The son of an Illinois farmer,
Dean Warnock studied law at the
University of Illinois, was admit
ted to the bar, then deserted the
legal profession to teach English
and serve as assistant to Thomas
Arkle Clark, dean of men at his
alma mater.
==l
While at Illinois he married
the former Geraldine Fouche.
They have two children, Cipt.
Arthur Warnock, now with .the
Ail. Force at Rome, N.Y., and
John. F. Warnock, of State Col
lege.
"When we moved to PennsYl
vania,7 he explains, "we intended
to return to Illinois at the end of
five years. But when the time
came, we didn't even seriously
consider returning."
--
• , He also . feveals that during the
first six months in State College
he regretted his decision to come
helm, •
"It was a tough winter with
100 Sleighing days," 'the former
`dean recalls. "But it was - followed
by a Million-dollar spring and\we
haye . neVer since regretted our
decision to come to Penn State
and these 'beautiful Pennsylvania

Small Fire Occurs
In Water Tunnel
A small fire in stored construc
tion material occured in the new
Navy water tunnel on N. Ather
ton street, at 5:05 p. m. Saturday
and was extinguished by the Al
pha Fire Company before it
caused much damage.
The fire, apparently caused by
a short circuit in an extension
cord, was. discovered on the first
floor of the northwest section in
a pile of cartons of welding rods
and filterS. Little damage was re
ported with merely the cardboard
boxes being burned.
The fire company responded to
the alarm and used water from
the booster tank to extinguish the
blaze. The company. was delayed
in reaching the scene of the fire
by traffia i jams caused by crowds
streaming away from the Villa
nova-Penn State football game.

effort here today to forestall

Colored Flags Give
Local Weather
Forecast
No need now for home weather
forecasting instruments on cam
pus.
One glatlce at the Mineral In
dustries building will give an in
dication of weather conditions 12
hours in advance.
A system of colored flags,
selected to indicate the weather
forecast for this area, was install
ed last year. The flags are flown
from the roof of the "MI" build
ing.
• When a white flag appears,
fair weather is expected. But a
blue and white one foresees rain.
As would be expected, a red
flag indicates warmer conditions,
and blue, a fall in temperature.
A cloudy day is the tale told
when a red, white, and blue strip
ed flag is flown. A red and white
checkerboard sign flying from the
"MI" roof signifies high winds.
