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-

sixth semester arts and letters
major.
Dr. Kart Hoogsteen and Dr. Ed

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
