since it was the only building,
all 69 members of that first
class and the entire faculty of
three professors lived and at
tended classes in it. The "cam
pus" was nothing but a bleak
hillside decorated only by piles
of debris left from the construc
tion. State College did not exist,
and the closest post office was
located at Boalsburg.
Thick, heavy doors had been
placed at the entrance to each
row of student rooms so that they
could be locked in the. evenings to
prevent the students from escap
ing their studies for lighter pur
suits. This practice, however, was
never enforced, since some par
ents objected that their sons
would be roasted alive if there
Orientation
Unit Members

Ruth Jo hns on and Richard
Friedman, student members of
the Orientation Week committee,
have writtea the following 'mes
sage welcoming new students:
To the Class of '62:
Welcome to Penn State! A long
awaited moment has arrived
you are now college students.
This week that lies before you
will be one of many new exper
iences, of enlightenment and ad
justment. Everything has been i
planned for you, and with only;
you in mind. Take advantage of
it.
There is a lot that you can
learn about your new home, and
many people want to help you.
All of us associated with Orienta
tion Week are at your service.
Your counselors have been spe
cially chosen from the most ac
tive and best-informed students
on campus. Please feel free to
look us up and inquire about
anything at any time. We are
here to help you. ,
Again, welcome to our college
community, and the best of luck
throughout this week and all
your college days.
A call for reporters will be
issued in The Collegian at a
later time.
Published Tuesday through
Saturday mornings, the regu
lar 8-page tabloid is divided
this way: Four pages to local

AP news, one page to editorial
comment (including Bibler and
Peanuts) and two pages to
sports news and columns.
The three departments of
the business staff are adver

were a fire. Only one curriculum
was offered, and each student was
required to work three hours
each day on the farm connected
with the school. There were no
laboratories, and the library con
sisted of a handful of useless and
outdated books donated by in
terested citizens.
In these 100 years, .P en n
State has grown into one of the
largest universities in the coun
try. Your class numbers al
most 3500 young men and wom
en, and the original faculty of
three professors has grown to
a staff of 1700. You can select
your field of study from among
the almost 70 separate curricula
offered through 10 different col
leges. Old Main, a replacement
of the original building, is but
one of about 150 major build
ings located on one of the most
beautiful campuses in the coun
try.
There are, you see, many dif
ferences. But there are also im
portant similarities. We still have,
as you will notice, unsightly piles
of debris from new construction,
the price we must pay for expand
ing the educational opportunity
in Pennsylvania.
We still worry about students
using their time wisely, but yet
we do not resort to locked doors
or other forced means to achieve
this result. One hundred years
ago, Penn State was operating at
maximum capacity with its 69
students, just as it is today with

its student body of approximately
14,000.
Most important of all, Penn
State stands today, as it did then,
as a pioneer in a new and dynamic
type of education—an education
designed to prepare young men
and women for vital roles in the
life of our country as mothers
and fathers, as citizens of the
Commonwealth and of the na
tion, and as members of a profes
sion. You are the inheriters of a
tradition formed by an unbroken
succession of 100 Penn State
classes.
According to this tradition,
your years at Penn Stale will
be a period of intense, exciting
personal experience. It will be
a time for exploring, for dis
covering, for sifting and com
paring that which is known
and that which is thought by
man. It will be a time in which
to develop a love of truth, a
moral conviction that knowl
edge is requisite to freedom,
and an intellectual conviction
that education and scholarship
are requisite to progress.
Yours will be the privilege and
the responsibility of carrying this
tradition into Penn State's second
century. In this way, you share
a spiritual bond with those 69
young men who ploughed through
the mud up the hill to Old Main
to start their classes in February
1859.
Good luck and best wishes to
all of you.
