Alum College Offers
Summer Courses
To graduating seniors, who have been complaining about
the "isolated" campus for four years, the idea of spending a
vacation here must seem absurd.
Yet since 1959, several hundred alumni have spent all
or part of their summer vacations at the University attending
the Alumni College. Cyril F. Hager, is the director of

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."

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!"
