factory.
The - Allentown Center's only
building was purchased .;by •the
University in 1949 and at that
time bad a history as a cigar -fac

cal courses 'in engineering were
given by University faculty mem

creditnritil this building was pur
chased and. 'an associate degree

and colleges in the area, Camp
