Early Collegian Edit
From an editorial in the Penn
State Collegian 1913: "Social dis
sipation should be, and, we hope,
is less of a problem at Penn State
because of the location of the
college in the free, open country,
remote from metropolitan influ
ence, and conducive to the best
that is in man."

McKeesport Centet
Nearing Completion
A new $140,000 building under construction at the Mc-
Keesport Center will - be occupied by January.
Last week workers began plastering the building, which
was begun last Spring.
- It has a plan almost identical to the York Center, which
was occupied for the first time
this fall
Both centers have two story
brick buildings, with the floor
plan for the McKeesport Building
including four class rooms, two
electrical laboratories, two draft
ing rooms, a cafeteria, lounge,
library, and offices.
Dimensions Given
The McKeesport building is 51
feet wide and 91 feet long and has
a one story lounge which is 21
feet wide and 51 feet long.
Faced by a larger demand for
enrollment than it could house in
the rooms it was using in an ele
mentary school, the University
was considering giving up the
McKeesport Center.
New Site Donated
However, a group of citizens'
in the city formed a committee
to secure a new location. Their
search wa s finally successful
when William L. Buck, realtor,
gave the University a four and
one-half acre tract of land worth
560,000 in the Renzie Hauzen
Park area of McKeesport.
The city is also building a new
street into the center, which will
be called University Drive.
Rent will be paid under a lease
.purchase agreement, which will
enable the University to own the
building.
Serves Nine Counties
The center serves a nine county
area in southwestern Pennsyl
.vania which includes Allegheny
'County and the City of Pittsburgh.

Froth Circulation Staff

' gree program, with 141 enrolled in' The Froth circulation staff will
