Alumni Can Expect 'Changes;
5000 to Arrive on Campus
By DOTTIE BENNETT
When approximately 5000 alum
ni arrive on campus today and
tomorrow for the 34th annual
Homecoming, they will find, as
the fraternity lawn display theme
indicates, “There’s been- some
changes made.” . .
The 1 most important change
since last year’s Homecoming is
that Penn State is now, a Univer
sity, marking the fourth . name
change in its history.-. "•
In 1855, when the charter was
granted, Penn State was known
as The Farmers’ High School of
Pennsylvania. In. 1862 "President
Lincoln signed the Morrill Land
Grant Act, and the Farmers’ High
School became the Agricultural
College of Pennsylvania.
The next name change was to
the Pennsylvania State College,
which was again changed last No
vember to Pennsylvania State
University.
Homecoming alumni will also
find the town in the midst of a
controversy over whether of not
the name State College shall be

changed to Mt. Nittany. Of the
three groups involved in this con
troversy, one favors the name
change, a second group feels that
the name State College is satis
factory, while a third hopes to
change the name to something
other than Mt. Nittany. The issue
will be decided at the Nov. 2 elec
tion.
In the past the community has
been known as Boalsburg, Farm
ers’ High School, Agricultural Col
lege, and State College.
There have also been changes
in the campus since last Home
coming. The Hetzel Union Build
ing is now nearing completion
and an ice skating rink and a nu
clear reactor are being built in
the Nittany dormitory. area. The
rink will probably open about
Nov. 15, and the reactor is sched
uled for completion in December.
Two building names have
changed also. What was formerly
Horticulture building, is now
known as Weaver Hall, and the
West Dorm Lounge is Waring

Army Chaplain
Speaks Tonight
Lt. Colonel Alexander J. Tur
ner, chaplain and executive offi
cer of the Chaplain Board, Fort
Slocum, N.Y., will speak to the
Inter-Varsity Christian Fellow
ship at 7:30 tonight in 405 Old
Main.
Turner served 33 months in
Aleutian Islands campaigns and
in Alaska during World War 11.
He was discharged 1945 to con
tinue graduate work toward a
doctor’s degree.
In 1947 he entered the regular
Army. He was assigned to the
staff and faculty of the Army
Language School, Presidio of
Monterey, Calif.
After a tour of duty in the Far
East, Turner returned to the U.S.
and completed work on his doc
torate thesis. Several leading
seminaries are now using the
thesis in connection with courses
of study for prospective chaplains
which were originated in 1951.
Turner will also give a talk
about his experiences in Korea
and Japan and show slides at a
picnic sponsored by the Inter-
Varsity after the football game
tomorrow at the home of Frank

morrow, alumni may notice the
latest innovation in freshmen cus
toms. Blue dinks have now re
placed the green ribbons and
dinks, and the black bow ties are
no longer worn.
Just as there’ have been many
changes on campus, Homecoming
Day itself has changed. Originally
it was known as Pennsylvania
Day, on the theory that since
Perm State is a state supported
institution, a day should be set
aside to honor the state.
On Pennsylvania Day alumni
usually inspected the campus and
buildings in the morning. In the
afternoon there was a football
game between the freshmen and
sophomores and a cider party was
held in the evening.
‘Gradually the alumni decided
to make Pennsylvania Day into
Homecoming Day and in 1920 it
was changed.
One thing, however, has re
mained fairly certain through the
years. No matter how nice the
weather appears,, it’s wise to take
an umbrella. It will probably
rain.
