Chapel Support
The chapel money has been
supporting the, work of .G. Weid
man-("Daddy") Groff and Richard
Pride at their research station on
Oriental plants in Florida. It was
-hoped then that the two men
would soon return to Lingnam
and the College would again
make contact t her e. Both are
Penn State alumni who were
formerly on the Lingnam staff.
Since it seems improbable that
contact will be made soon, the
committee was chosen to meet
and discuss other suggestions for
use. of the offering.
Three suggestions which will
likely receive consideration are
the establishing of an In te r
national House for graduate stu
dents at the College, both Ameri
can and foreign,, the finding of
another international project like
Penn - State-in-China, an d the
building of a meditation Chapel
at the College.
