'Walking
Predicted
The main campus will be a "walking campus"—like those of most other Univer
sities—before 1970.
The Long-Range Development Studies, which suggest construction of approximate
ly as many buildings as now exist at the University, calls for less parking space in central
. ,
campus than now exists.
• The studies also foresee peripheral par king and campus road improvements to help
solve the 'University's long-stand
ing traffic problem.
Students and faculty members
may be allowed to park in the
central campus area only under
special exceptions. Pollock Road
may be closed to regular traffic.
Many of the streets that now
serve as roadways and parking
areas may be only service drives,
One of the major changes in
the campus traffic situation will
be construction of a Route 322
by-pass around State College.
According to tentative plans,
the by-pass would be constructed
to run north and south at the ex
treme east end of campus.
An "inner loop" would traverse
the campus from College Avenue
at the home management houses
to Park Avenue, and would be
extended farther north past the
dairy barns.
As part of the plan, Entrance
Road no longer would connect
with College Avenue, eliminating
some traffic through the Nittany
area.
The football stadium would
be relocated between the "inner
loop" and the 322 by-pass. Uni
versity officials said this would
be an area where sufficient
parking facilities could be main
tained and where traffic could
move into and out of the area
without becoming tied up in
Stale College and campus traf
fic movement.
Major parking areas which may
be eliminated from the main cam
pus area because buildings may
be constructed on the site include:
Part of the west parking lot
near Recreation Building; the area
immediately west of Electrical
Engineering Building; the area
west of the president's mansion;
the area next to the library; part
of the area behind Grange Hall.
Some additional parking space
h tentatively planned for part
of the area where Beaver Field
now is located.
Major traffic, changes, may • in
clude extension of Curtin Road
from Burrowes Road to North
Atherton Street; construction of a
drive connecting Curtin and Pol
lock Roads, to run between Whit
more and Frear Laboratories; con
struction of a drive between the
end of McAllister Street and Pol
lock Road.

$l2
To
Expand
By PAT EVANS
Collegian Personnel Director
More than- $l2 million may
have been spent by 1970 on
construction at the Univer
!say's 12 centers and campuses
to keep them in step with the
;main campus expansion pro
gram.
About $10.5 million of the $12.-
379 million total would go to
!ward classroom' buildings and
laboratories. These will be fi
nanced, according to present
,plans, by a revolving building
fund supplemented by gifts and
grants.
Nearly $2 million would be
spent to erect student union
buildings and any other general
buildings planned. The student
; activities buildings would be paid
'off gradually by student union
fees.
Figures and statistics for the
,expansion of centers and campus
;es are taken from 4 i,-, report sub
mitted Jan. 1, 1958, by the Ad
lministrative Committee on Long-
IRange Development.
lExpansion will be in student
enrollment as well as in physical
facilities. The projected off-camp
us enrollment for 1970 is 10,000
'students, with half candidates for
, a bachelor's degree and half for
'an Associate degree (a two year
,program.) This estimated total en
'rollment includes Mont Alto For
estry! School as well as the centers
land campuses.
The following proposals were
offered by the development com
mittee as possible modifications
in the program:
• Increasing , the number of
centers (and., campuses) offering
the two-year associate degree pro
gram.
• Increasing the number offer
ing the two-year baccalaureate
curricula.
• Broadening the scope of the
two-year centers (and campuses)
in the more heavily populated
areas of the Commonwealth to
include three and four-year cur
ridula, thus in effect transforming
certain centers (and campuses)
into major branches of the Uni
versity.
The committee also proposed,
in looking to strengthened quali
ty of off-campus faculties, that
"systematic consideration" be giv
en to the possibilities of:
• Rotating some faculty mem
bers between the main campus
and the centers (and campuses.)
• Providing research oppor
tunities for faculties at centers
(and campuses.)
• Offering graduate programs
at some centers (and campuses.)
Following are figures on the en
rollment at each of the Univers
ity's centers and campuses. The
first figure is the total enrollment
in the fall semester of 1955; the
I second figure is the projected en

instruction program and informal
instruction.
In 1955 there were 15,045 per
sons participating in these gen
eral activities. The projected total
for 1979 is 64,497.
The University also provides a

100-Year Expansion
Campus Now Has 140 Buildings
By DON CASCIATO
The present physical plant I
started with an Incomplete
five story building and has h
expanded to include more
than 140 major structures in a I
little over a hundred years.
Many of these buildings made
their appearance in just the!
past 30 years. More than 30 of
the 55 major campus buildings
went up during the administra
tion of Ralph Dorn Hetzel.
When he took office as Univer
sity president in 1927, the grounds
and buildings were valued at
$3,700,000; at his death in 1947
they were valued at $26,423,000.
The physical expansion has
been marked by cycles or, boom
periods. Typical of this trend is
the physical growth that took
place from 1928 to 1932, involv•
inj about $5,500,000.
At this time the Nittany Lion
Inn was built and Old Main was
rebuilt. The original Old Main
was started in 1859, measuring
240 feet in length, 80 feet in-av
erage breadth, and five full stor
ies in height. Construction was
hatnPered due to the' civil war,
so the building, was not com-
I pleted until 1863.
It housed all the students, and
included a chapel, library, lecture
and recitation rooms, laboratories
and an infirmary. The only thing
not included was quarters for
livestock.
Recreation Building, the infirm
ary, sheep barn, veterans hospital,
Sackett ißuilding, Grange resi
dence hall, Buckhout laboratory,
Mineral Industries Building; were
built and the Power Plant was
remodeled for the Petroleum Tie
fining Laboratory in this expan
sion period.
Building lagged for a few
years in the depths of the de
pression, as enrollment de
creased. But in 1937 and' 1938
building perked up and Ather

ing, Burrowes Building, Pattee
Library, Frear Laboratory,
Electrical Enginering Building,
Agriculture / Building, and Ty
son Building were constructed.

at Penn State meant accelerated
courses, and many temporary fa
cilities. The armistice meant peace

offi c e s, laboratories, recrea
tional areas and storehouses were
pressed into emergency service.
Temporary housing facilities such
as Pollock Circle dorms were
bought by the University at the
time from the Army.
In 1948 the veteran education
boom subsided and the Univer
sity was able to embark on a ma
jor long-range building program
to meet anticipated enrollment
increases of the postwar period
Thus Hamilton, Thompson,
McKee, Simmons and McElwain
Residence Halls were construct
ed to meet the anticipated in
crease in students. Also built at
i l l
the-time were the Mineral Sci
ences Building, the Plant In
dustries Building and Wi lard
Hall. An Ordnance Rese rch
Laboratory, begun during the
war, was finished at this ime.
Added later was Gar ield
Thomas Water Tunnel.
In 1950, Milton Eisenhow(
sumed the reigns as Univ,
president and the expansion
gram, begun in 1946, was
tinued..

At this'time the $3,000,001 Het
zel Union Building was built.
The Helen Eakin Eisen ower
Chapel, Whitmore Laboratory, a
Chemistry Stores Buildi g, a

were erected.

I'Law School
Seen As
IPossibility
The University May have a
law school sometime after
1971.
Buildings for a law school—
on the present golf course—
are included in the Long-Range
Development Studies, with pro
posed construction date set at
"1971 and beyond."
No plans are included in the
studies for either of two other
long-time dreams of University
administrators a mecical school
and a veterinary school.
Persons connected with the
University have discussed pos
sibilities of establishing th e
three schools "since Pocahontas
was a papoose." according to C.
S. Wyand, vice president for
development.
Wyand said there is no certain
ty that even the law school will
be established someday. He said
construction of buildings to house
the school and hiring of necessary
personnel depend on the Univer
sity's getting sufficient funds—as
is the case with all the other pro
posals included in the studies.
But Wyand also said that a
medical school and a veterinary
school also conceivably could be
established so m eda y, although
they are not included in the long
range studies.
He described the studies as a
long-range plan showing the min
imum that the University must
expand its present operations to
'try to meet the growing demand
for education in Pennsylvania.
As such, he said, it charts al
most no new functions for the
University. A graduate of the
University's pre-law major of
the arts and letters curriculum
may attend any one of six law
! schools in Pennsylvania alone,
the closest of which is at Dick
inson College at Carlisle.
Other law schools in the state
;are at the Universities of Penn
sylvania, Pittsburgh, Duquesne,
Temple and Villanova.
1 The pre-medicine curriculum
was established sometime be
fore 1928. A reason that has
been given• for not establish
ing a medical school is the lack
of a sufficient number of large
hospitals in the area.
The pre-veterina&'curriculum
was established in 1929. Some
state agricultural leaders have
sought a veterinary school to
combat what they call a lack of
•aterinarians trained in the treat
ment of large animals.
Salmon Resigns
Arch Position
F. Cuthbert Salmon, associate
professor of architecture, has re
signed to accept a position as pro
fessor and head of the School of
Architecture and Applied • Arts
at the Oklahoma State Univer
sity, Stillwater, Okla.
He will begin his new duties
in February.
His wife, Mrs. Christine Sal
mon, associate professor of hous
ing and home art and chairman
of the division of home art in the
College of Home Economics, also
has submitted her resignation.
Both, practicing architects, Mr.
and Mrs. Salmon joined the Uni
versity faculty in 1947.
Penn State has the world's
largest water tunnel, the Garfield
Thomas Memorial Water Tunnel.
The test chamber is 14 feet long,
4 feet in diameter. It was dedi
