PAGE EIGHT Birthday (Continued from first page) senhower said he hoped the Uni versity would merit another reso lution of this kind 100 years from now. Adrian O. Morse, provost and toastmaster, read a congratula tory' telegram, addressed to Dr. Eisenhower from his brother, Dwight D. Eisenhower, president of the United States. The premiere of the Centennial motion picture and guided tours conducted by members of hat so cieties concluded the program. Prexy's Speech President Eisenhower empha sized the part that Land-Grant educational institutions and the University play in the world to day and will play in the future. “Reflection is especially signifi cant in the life of a land-grant university for the spiritual and material well-being of our nation has been tremendously depend ent upon the successful function ing of these uniquely American institutions,” he saidt Jeffersonian Ideal President Eisenhower briefly re viewed the history of the land grant educational institutions, re ferring to use of the Jeffersonian concept of education “for the many.” Mentioning a shortcoming of college and universities, that of the trend toward specialization at the expense of the humanities, President Eisenhower said that it is on these humanities that the basic character of a civilization depends.

The University is trying, he said, to define with some exact ness both the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of its fu ture tasks. Quantitatively, the University will have about 18,- 500 students on campus and more than 3000 others at extension cen ters, he said. These university graduates will be needed, he pointec out, since manpower ex perts estimate that tne nation will have multiple job opportuni ties in years ahead in some 2000 areas of specialization. Speaking qualitatively, he said that the educational institutions must prepare their programs in an effort to combat communism. Questions which must be an swered, he said are: 1. Is each course of study help ing the student achieve the basis of understanding in all the broad fields of knowledge? Communication Skills 2. Do°s the educational program develop each student’s skills of communication? 3. Does the total educational program foster in each student the capacity for sound judgment? 4. Does every student gain from campus life an abiding commit ment to the principles of democ racy? 5. Is the University helping stu dents to think in global as well as local and national terms? 6.1 s the Univeristy helping each THE DAILY COLLEGIAN.

Is the University alert to the needs of adult education in the form o- the extension program that it may change with the times? In welcoming the guests to the University and to the Birthday Party, he said that there was one fact which typified the “Penn State spirit.” That was that pres ent generations of students—who made the Hetzel Union Building possible with a special fee im posed at their own request— wished the HUB to memorialize a man they had never met, but who guided the University to new heights in his 21 years as presi dent. Leader's Speech Governor George M. Leader said he intends to make greater use of the deep resources of hu man intelligence and experience the University “cpn so justifially boast.” “I look upon the University, first of all, as a source of person nel. Already I have brought from this cool academic atmosphere to the hurly-burly of Harrisburg Professor Maurice K. Goddard and Dr. William L. Henning as cabinet members, and Dr. Harold Alderfer as a valued and trusted advisor on the administration of the affairs of the State,” he said. “I acknowledge humbly,” Lead er said, “all that the Pennsylvania State University has done in the on a splendid Over a hundred years, Penn State has grown to be the largest college in the Commonwealth, and one of America’s outstanding institutions of learning. It is with pleasure that we salute such accomplishment, and with pride that we mention our own part in the physical progress of the University. The stadium at Beaver Field began as a Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Deck Grandstand seating 2400 persons in 1934-since then, through the adaptability of our unit section design, it has been enlarged to a capacity of 30,000 seats. We con structed the Navy Water Tunnel, requiring most exacting fabrication, and built the all-steel swimming pool in the Women’s Recreation Building. At present we have under contract a Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Elevated Tank of 750,000-gallon capacity for the University, which will provide de pendable, modem water storage for increased service requirements.

Judge James Milholland, presi dent of the Board of Trustees, reviewed the history of the Uni versity. In the .University’s 100 years, he said, 53,000 degrees have been granted, the original faculty of four has grown to about 2000 and the statewide campus totals 9000 acres. All-University President, Jesse Arnelle told the guests that more important than the age of the University was the quality of men and women who have gone out from the institution and who have given it th‘. paramount place among educational institutions of the world. Here then, he said, is the significance of the University’s 100 years. Also extending greetings were: CLASSIFIEDS FOR SALE 1949 CHRYSLER SARATOGA 4-door sedan.
