Centennial Watts Guided Early Fortunes A practical farmer, who was also a lawyer, judge and busi nessman, stands foremost among the eany supporters of the .100- year-old University. For 20 years Frederick Watts of Carlisle took an active part in guiding the fortunes of the young institution he had done so much to establish. His service began Jan. 21, 1851, when he chairmaned a meeting of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society, which passed a resolution urging that instruction in agriculture be in troduced into the Common wealth’s educational system. Recommends Convention Two years later, when the So ciety named a committee to study the advisability of estab lishing an agricultural school, Watts became its chairman. That committee recommended a con vention be held in Harrisburg, March 8, 1853, “to adopt meas ures for the establishment of an agricultural institution to be styled the Farmers’ High School of Pennsylvania, with a model farm attached thereto.’’ \t the convention, Watts was made chairman of a committee to develop plans for the school and draft a bill for submission to the legislature for chartering the institution. This the legisla ture dirt in 1854. Revisions proved necessary in the first charter, however. A sec- THE DAfLY COUEGIAN. STATE COILEGE.

Saddish Day— Aristophanes Lost, Mongrel Found Something suspicious is going on in the animal world in State College. Aristophanes has disap peared. Aristophanes, or Ari for short, is an orange-eyed, white and or ange spotted cat, which is the property of Rose Ann Brooks, an instructor in sociology. Coupled with Afi’s disappear ance, was the arrival of a strang er on campus. A black mongrel dog, who apparently knows his way around, has put in a sudden and dramatic appearance. The dog, seemingly a slick operator, moved in on a Spring Week com mittee meeting Thursday night, and toured Sparks and Carnegie buildings yesterday. Exactly what all this means is a complete mystery unless . . . Is the long heralded revolt of “Animalism" about to get under way right here? Scholarship Established For Senior Ag Student The Ralston Purina Company has established a $5OO scholarship at the University. Beginning next September, the Ralston Purina Scholarship will be awarded annually to a senior in the College of Agriculture. It will be awarded on the basis of leadership, character, citizenship, sincerity of purpose in the field of agriculture, and financial need. The recipient must be in the up per one-fourth of his class, ond act, passed in 1855, was in large part Watt’s handiwork. Governor James Pollock ap proved this bill Feb. 22, 1855, the official founding date of the University. The J new act provided for 13 trustees, of which Watts was one, and he was subsequently elected first president of the Board of Trustees. As such, he was per haps the school’s chief spokes man before the legislature and throughout the State. He helped select the site for the institution. When funds were needed, he contributed $lOOO from his own pocket. His interest was so great that he even de signed a bam for the school’s model farm. When the Land Grant Act of 1862 was passed, allocating the revenues from the sale of public lands to educational institutions, Watts took a hand in getting the Pennsylvania legislature to ac cept the terms of the Act. He was also prominent in the suc cessful efforts to have the Uni versity designated as its sole beneficiary within the State. Many Activities Despite his many activities on behalf of the school, Watts still managed to find time tor his ex tensive law practice, was presi dent of the Cumberland valley Railroad which he had helped organize, and in Carlisle headed a company he formed for the erection and operation of a gas Church Head Talks In Chapel Tomorrow The Rev.
