Schwab, was the first build ing ever presented to the University, then the Penn sylvania State College, uncondi tionally by a private citizen. It was dedicated on June 16, 1903, during Commencement exer cises. The building was not com pleted but work was advanced Jfar enough to allow use of it for all Commencement Week exer cises. Schwab was an industrialist and philanthropist. Among the positions he held in industry were chairman of the board of di rectors for Bethlehem Steel and president of the American Iron and Steel Institute. He was on the College Board of Trustees from 1902 to 1932. Mr. and Mrs. Schwab decided the College should have a bet ter auditorium when they at tended Commencement exer cises in June 1902. The exer cises were held in the Chapel of "old" Old Main, which was the largest place of assembly on campus. Since the College was growing so rapidly, this room was insufficient for daily use and was altogether inade quate for the accomodation of ADLERS, IN WHITE AND COLORS, FOR MEW AND WOMEN, AVAILABLE AT KAUN'S HURS SCHLOW'S PERSIA'S JACK HARPER’S LEVINE'S : guests on public occasions. The Schwabs offered to carry ,out the plan of enlargement [which had been prepared; how jever. after further thought, they [decided that such a measure I would furnish only temporary land insufficient relief and so they 'decided upon the erection of an entirely new building to cost about $lOO,OOO. When plans had been prepared, however, it was found that the building would cost $155,000, but Schwab agreed to stand for the additional expenditures. George Parson, landscape ar chitect of Central Park in New York, suggested the location. The auditorium is in the class ical style and is 84 by 120 feel. When it was built it seated ap proximately 1310 people. The foundation and entrance are of New England granite. The su perstructure is of grey brick with terra-cotta trimmings. The building was considered a fire hazard as it was, so in Sep tember 1947 the last few rows of seats were removed to provide FOR SALE 1920 Model T Ford Touring. Good running condition.
