Human resources are the great
est wealth of any country. The de
velopment and conservation of
human resources is the primary
function of th e Pennsylvania
State College under the terms of
the organic Land-Grant - Act. On
this basis the faculty of the School
of Mineral Industries ex t ends
greetings to the members of the
current freshman class with the
hope that each member will ap
preciate that the roots of human
progress are in education, educa
tion true to man and country.
Our citizenry must compre
hend the cold, fundamental, eco
nomic truth that the ability to
create wealth depends upon pri
mary wealth; that only primary
wealth can insure our economy,
liquidation of our debts, national
solvency, national security. .A.nd
minerals furnish a major part of
all primary wealth, 67 per cent
in the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania.
It is now generally understood
that minerals have power to cause
hostilities, control war strategy,
bring victory, dictate peace trea
ties; and in large measure, pre
serve lasting peace.
The mineral arts and sciences
have crystallized under three or
ganic units: earth sciences, min
eral engineering, and mineral
technology.
The earth sciences are concern
ed with those divisions of nat
ural science which relate specif
ienlly to the earth, its origin, con
stitution, and evolution. The term
earth sciences is a direct transla
tion of "geo-ology."
Mineral engineering is concern
ed with extracting minerals from
the earth and preparing them for
use. In other words, it is the
means by which mineral matter,
including mineral fuels, is made
available to man.
Mineral technology is the ap
plied systematic knowledge of
primary methods of processing
and treating mineral matter and
directing its industrial utilization.
It is. concerned with those indus
trial arts and sciences which in
volve the transformation of min
eral fuels into energy and the
conversion- of minerals of all
classes into raw materials of in
dustry or finished articles of com
merce.,

Alma Mater.
You have come to college to

you must be sure to weigh values.
Play and enjoy your creation but,
with your playing, do not forget,
do not forget the purpose for
which you came.
Students are urged to make full
use of all available facilities and
take part in athletic activities
offered on the campus. The in
creased competitive spirit among
students in recent years has
shown up in the development of
these students morally as well as
physically, and it is our firm hope
that this spirit may continue and
develop further to the betterment
of the students, the College, and
our nation.

The School of Education con
gratulates and welcomes those
who now become its new mem
bers. We hope that you will en
joy your stay with us and that
you will be able to complete suc
cessfully the preparation for pro
fessional service you are_ begin
ning this week.
You who were admitted to the
school should realize that hun
dreds of others who wanted to en
ter were not admitted. They were
not rejected because they were
less worthy or less able than you.
Neither the faculty, nor the ad
ministration, nor the trustees of
the College wished to reject them,
but lack of facilities and staff
made it necessary to limit the
number of students accepted.
_ We shall do our best to provide
you with the guidance and in
struction you need. We hope you
will be able to obtain maximum
benefits from your membership
in our school.
