Memorial Presented To Groff George Weidman “Daddy” Groff, who for nearly 40 years served Penn State at Lingnan University, Canton, China, was presented a memorial plaque rec ognizing these services in Chapel Sunday morning. _-During most of Groff’s years in China, the Chapel offering was contributed to the agricultural work he was carrying out. This project, known as “Penn State ln-China,” was largely due to the efforts of Ralph Levi Watts, for mer dean of the School of Agri culture, and Groff; When the Communists took ov er the Canton area several years ago and “Daddy” Groff was forced to leave, the funds were first used at his oriental plant experimental station in Florida. It was hoped that he and Richard Pride, his co-worker at Lingnan, could soon return to .China. Last year it was decided to discontin ue the project altogether and find a new use for the Chapel offering. John Henry Frizzell, chaplain emeritus, presented the plaque to Groff. This plaque will hang at Ralph Watts Lodge, the Penn State Christian Association cabin on Tussey Mountain, and anoth er like it may be seen in the PSCA office, 304 Old Main. The inscription on the plaque reads “Ip appreciation of the col laboration of George Weidman Groff and Ralph Levi Watts, dean of Agriculture, the Pennsylvania State College, who from 1907 to 1945 furthered the mission of Penn State-in-China, alumni and friends have contributed funds for Watts Lodge and have erected this tablet. “May the memory of the fruit ful friendship and Christian liv ing of Dean Watts and “Daddy” Groff remain ever fresh here in the vale of old Mount Nittany and to. the uttermost parts of the earth.” !FC Workshop Banquet Tickets on Sale Tickets for the third annual Interfraternity Council Workshop banquet to be held Saturday at the Nittany Lion Inn are on sale at the Student Union desk in Old Main at $3.25 each.

All-College Cabinet should inform the student body of the College policy regarding the sale of meal tickets to students who live off-campus.
