Built in 1936, this tower supplys the University with over 350 million gallons of water each year. The tower, situated in the Nit tany Lion woods, is often mistak en for an observatory, for it is 105 feet in height and 50 feet in diameter, and greatly resembles the den of an astronomer. More than 2000 tons of water are supported by 12 steel columns enclosed in this concrete cylinder. This water tonnage, equal to about 487,000 gallons, is obtained from Mussers Gap and from numerous wells. Approximately 63 million gallons flow by gravity from the Gap, and the other 288 million are pumped from the wells. The only water tank on the campus, it is the main source for all the water used by the Uni versity. The tank is also used as a reserve for the borough of State College. The University has a cross connection with the borough water system, so that if the Uni versity's supply is low it can use that of the borough, and vice versa. Tf anythino hapr^n to the TTniv::— pipin g or pumping system the tank could Tait is Reserve Champion John Tait, fifth semester animal husbandry major, won the Re serve Grand Champion award. In obtaining this recognition he also won champion showman of the sheep division with the Hamp shire ewe which he -displayqd. In the horse class, Eileen Gib ble, fourth .semester zoology ma jor, won the champion fitter award, while Kenneth Lanan, fifth semester poultry husbandry major, received the ribbon for champion showman.

Gallons Tower also be used for a reserve until the breakdown is fixed. The tower not only is the home of the University water supply, but it also is used by the Penn State football team. On the first floor of the tower are located the gridders shower rooms and dress ing rooms. The tower is also-used by the Fencing Club for its prac tices. At other times the tower is completely deserted, except for the caretakers. The tower is one of Penn State's most outstanding landmarks. Along with many other historical buildings and monuments the water tower is the object of much speculation, especially on the part of the freshmen. Most new stu dents confuse the tower with the Naval Water Tunnel, located at the far end of the Golf course. With the exception of these questions, the water tower goes completely unnoticed. At night the silhouette of its massive form can be seen clearly against the brightness of the sky. It seems to be a forgotten building, but how wrong this statement is, for as long as Penn State University will be an institute here the Water Tower will be regarded as one of its • most precious and historical landmarks.
