STATE COLLEGE:: PENNSYLVANIA By POLLY DRANOY A total of 68 district Alumni Clubs chartered by the Alum ni Association are scattered throughout the nation accord ing to the latest listing of the clubs in the "Alumni News." The clubs seek to bring together Penn Staters both to serve their own interests and to benefit the school, according to Mary Neilly managing editor of the "Alumni News," They also sponsor individual scholarships and awards for University students, she added. The individual clubs have an average of two meetings a year. Features of these meetings are speeches given by faculty mem bers or administration officials, Mrs. Neilly said. She added that some of the larger clubs sponsor concerts by the Blue Band or glee club for local entertainment. Most of the alumni clubs do not have membership dues or fees, Mrs. Neilly said, although, she continued ; some of them do charge a modest fee for participation in , club activities. Mrs. Neilly said that any func tion sponsored by the club must be paid for by the admission fee, club funds are rarely used for this purpose. Some of the clubs publish periodical newsletters or bulle tins for reading by club mem bers. Any publication sponsored by an individual alumni club is printed on campus after the ma terial is forwarded by the club officers, Mrs. Neilly said. All of the clubs, while chartered by the Alumni Association which is headquartered on campus, are governed locally, Mrs. Neilly said. ,Most of the clubs are in Penn sylvania. However there are 26 out-of-state clubs scattered from southern California to Boston, Massachusetts, One of the clubs is located in Puerto Rico. The list of clubs is published on the back cover of each issue of the "Alum ni News." Physics Department Gets $3,000 Research Grant The Department of Physics has received a $3,000 grant-in-aid from the Chemstrand Research Center, Inc., of the Chemstrand Corporation, Durham, N.C., in continued support of research in high polymer physics. The research is under the direc tion of Dr. John A. Sauer, profes sor and head of the Department of Physics. The grant has been awarded for the third consecutive year. Roy to Attend Colloquium Dr: Rustum Roy, professor of 'geochemistry has been invited by the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique of the French Gov ernment to attend one of its inter national colloquia this summer. The colloquium will be held in Paris from July 3-7 and will be concerned with the topic, "Syn thesis and Genesis of Clays." Walker Role of By DR. ERIC A. WALKER In my charge to the graduates at commencement last June, I outlined what seemed to me to be the fundamental relationship be tween an alumnus and the insti tution from which he was gradu ated. "The degrees you have re ceived," I told those graduates, "certify to the world at large that you are now alumni of the Penn sylvania State University. This ceremony does not mark the severance of your ties with the University. It marks. rather. the beginning of your full par ticipation as members of the Penn State family. "The University consists not en tirely of the faculty, nor of the campus and the buildings on it, not even of the students who are in residence at any one time. It consists of all these, but it also consists of all who have entered the University and then gone forth frbm her as centers of her influence and as promoters of her spirit. "As with those who have gone forth before you, you are now a part of Penn State, and she is a part of you. Wherever you work, there the University will be at work. Whatever • you do, Penn State will be reflected in your ac complishments, in your successes, and in your triumphs. "Wherever you make your homes, you will be Penn State to your neighbors, friends and fellow workers. Through the very lives you lead, as well as through your continued inter est in and devotion to your ALMA MATER, you will be cre ating an image of Penn State. "As you leave the University to take your places in the world of affairs, I strongly urge you to continue your active association with Penn State through the Al umni Association. Both you and the University will continue to profit from the mutual guidance, support, and help that you can give each other. Good luck and best wishes!" Steel Firm Gives Grant For Metal Research The Crucible Steel Company of America has allocated the Univer sity a one-year grant of $6350 to support research in the depart ment of metallurgy on "Forma tion and Mechanical Properties of Low-Temperature Transforma tion Products in Alloy Steels."
