We hope you actually enjoy try
ing new things, or will learn to
enjoy that. Orientation Week can
be fun or frightening; the first
month of college can be an excit
ing adventure or fearsome and
discouraging. Indeed, all of life
can be a satisfying challenge or
a dreaded ordeal, depending up
on one's way of looking at it.
Each day here at the College
you can help invent better ways
to live, better for you and better
for others. But to do •so requires
consistent development of good
humor, far-seeing concern for the
welfare of others as well as your
self, courage to take difficulties
in stride, and a clear sense of
what is valuable to all in this so
ciety. Faculty members will be
glad to think with you on these
things.
This attitude of thoughtful ex
perimentation in new areas can
give you and others much satis
faction this year and later.

aptly named.
The evening is now more than
half over, opportunities for get
ting to know your young lady
have been limited up to this
point, and it's time to plan a
course of action. If you belong to
a fraternity, you're set; if you
have a car, you're set. Otherwise
you will try to crash a booth
in one of the better downtown
eateries and will once again run
into the mob.
The stampede begins about 15
minutes before one o'clock, zero

volume until the crush around
the doorway is impenetrable. At

To all freshman engineers: You
will comprise, in all probability,
the largest freshman ' class th e
School of Engineering has ever
had. This will make' for certain
organizational difficulties for it is
never easy to care for the needs
of a large group when staff and
space are limited. However, I can
assure you that the faculty of the
School of Engineering will do its
best to give you the finest engin
eering education obtainable. Ev
ery staff member is• willing to
help as much as he can and your
adviser should be considered not
only as a counselor but as a per
sonal friend.
There isn't much choice in your
freshman curriculum but, as the
years go on, you will be allowed
to choose the major stem of your
professional training and als o
courses within that stem. Un
doubtedly, you will need advice
and counsel in this doing.
For your part, all you will be
asked to contribute is work—hard
work and lots of_ it. The road to
an engineering degree is not easy,
but the rewards are great. Amer
ica needs engineers as never be
fore, and your opportunity to do
something for yourself and for
your country is a very promising
one.

request you to drop fair damsal
at the doorway—you can't come
in. Had you been a few minutes
earlier the time for your depar
ture would have been announced
by an equally su b t.l e method.
Those flashing lights are not pas
sion, my boy . . . it's just time
to go home. As you murmur your
goodnight amenities surrounded
by myriads of others engaged in
similar activities, a finger will
tap lightly on your noggin. The
tapping finger and flashing lights
are synonymous.
The rat race is over, and it
really was fun, now, wasn't it?
Let's go out next week, what do
you say?

Dear Friends:
This is a word of welcome to
the Pennsylvania State College
and, more particularly, to- the
School of the Liberal Arts.
I sincerely hope you will en
joy your work here; and to help
you adjust easily to College life,
I should like to make a few sug
gestions:
1. Remember that your studies
come first. Extra-curricular activ
ities are fine, and I hope you will
engage in some. But first estab
lish yourself as a student, and
then look around for outside ac
tivities.- Too many students be
come so deeply absorbed in ex
tra-classroom organizations that
they neglect their studies and run
the danger of flunking out of Col
lege.
2. Take full advantage of the
advisory services of the school.
Get to know your adviser and
consult him about your problems
just as soon as these problems
arise. Remember: You are his re
sponsibility and he wants to help
you.•
Sincerely,
Ben Euwema, Dean

that you have elected to seek a

vania State College.

ing, profitable, and enjoyable. We
expect you to share with us your
vigor, enthusiasin, and talents to
the end of making this a still

While Penn State is large in

sible for each student to estab

ships and thus ward off any feel
ing of being lost in a crowd. All
that is needed to accomplish this
is to show an intelligent interest
and respect for other persons and
their activities, and soon there
will be a growth of mutual un
derstanding as a basis for lasting
friendships.
Best wishes to each of you.

Each year we enjoy welcoming
the students of the S c h 00l of
Chemistry and Physics who ate
new to the campus..
The needs of industry and the
armed establishments have em
phasized the shortages of well
trained personnel in the fields of
c hem istr y and physics. The
knowledge that you are training
for professions of importance to
the welfare of the country, and
in which there is a great need for
competent men and woro e n,
should add to your interest and
enthusiasm for the work.
In connection with both . their
teaching and research activities,
the staff of the school is in close
contact with the groups needing
help. This cooperation serves as'
as inspiring influence to student
and staff alike.
We feel sure our mutual inter
ests will make you want. to make
the best possible use of your time
at Penn State.
