PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE, STATE COLLEGE, CENTRE COUNTY The Foundation. The Pennsylvania State College, located adjacent to the borough of State College, Centre County, was established and is now maintained by the joint action of the Federal Government and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Chartered by an Act of the State Legislature approved February 22, 1855, as the "Farmers' High School, it served a small but useful purpose until the adoption of the so-called "Land Grant Act" of Congress in 1862, which offered to each State and Territory a portion of the public lands for the maintenance of an institu tion of higher learning, provided the State would furnish the necessary buildings and a portion of the equipment. and teacher training. The agricultural extension service was established in 1907 and the first There county agents were sent out in 1912. are now county agents in 64 of the 67 counties of the State. The engineering extension division, started in 1907, was made a department of the engineering school in 1921, at which The time it had more than 7,000 students. mining extension work, given in cooperation with the State Department of Public Instruction and the State Department of Mines, enrolled almost 2,000 students in 1924-25. A feature of the college extension service is also found in the numerous Courses offered to citizens monwealth. correspondence of the ComCorrespondence courses are offered in agriculture, engineering, education, industrial In home economics and mining. en1924-1925 more than 8,500 students were rolled in correspondence courses. The Pennsylvania Legislature accepted this offer by an education, Act approved April 1, 1863, and pledged the faith of the State to carry the same into effect. Under this agreement the college became the Pennsylvania unit in a chain of State institutions of higher education, one being located in each state of the Union. In 1874 the name was changed and it has since been known as "The Pennsylvania State College." The Morrill Act. According to the provisions of the Morrill Act of 1862, the college is required to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics. This is to be done in such manner as the State Legislature may prescribe, "in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life." this broad foundation, the Pennsylvania State College is supported by public taxation through biennial appropriations of varying amounts made by the Legislature; and by permanent appropriations made by Congress for instructional and experimental purposes and varying amounts for agricultural extension purposes. Upon The Pennsylvania State College is coeducational and there are now almost 400 women students enrolled, the majority of them in the department of home economics. Lack of classroom and dormitory facilities prevents the enrollment of a greater number of women. Extension Service. The college maintains extension work in agriculture, engineering, mining, general education, As part of its service to the State, the college maintains experiment stations in agriculture, engineering, and mining, and the investigational work is published in the form of bulletins which are sent free upon request to citizens of the Commonwealth. In 1887 the State accepted the provisions of the Congressional Act for the establishment of an agricultural experiment station as a branch of the State College, and provided a building for that purpose. An Institute of Animal Nutrition was organized as a separate department of the agricultural school in 1907. Since that time the Institute has conducted much valuable research It now houses the only animal respiration caloriand experimental work in the field of nutrition. meter in the world. A Summer Session was established in 1910 and the summer enrollment for 1924 was nearly 2,000. The majority of those taking summer work are Pennsylvania school teachers, for whose benefit many special courses are arranged. Two new schools have recently been established, a Graduate School in 1922, and a School of Education in 1923. Land and Buildings. The college property, including about 1,825 acres of land and 50 buildings, is valued at more than $4,000,000. About 300 acres are appropriated for campus purposes and the remainder is devoted to agricultural experiments and the maintenance of college livestock; this stock is also used for experimental purposes. The principal buildings erected by appropriations made by the Legislature are: The Engineering buildings, the Agricultural buildings, the Chemistry buildings, the Mining buildings, the Liberal Arts building, the Home Economics building, the Armory, and Watts Hall, a dormitory for men. From private benefactions have been constructed the Carnegie Library, the Schwab Auditorium and Varsity Hall, another men's dormitory. An intercollegiate athletic field of 18 acres and an intra-mural field of 80 acres supply unusual playground facilities, and under the mass athletic system in vogue at the college, almost every student takes part in some form of athletic exercise. Schools, Departments, and Curricula.
