AILMAN - Ri'fi'n'nn'l,iln'rlriim th has been observed that students achieving a place on the honor roll and members of the faculty who receive promotions are those frequently seen in the library hall and reading rooms. The new College Library, one of the finest buildings on the campus and one of the most beautiful buildings in the United States, is conveniently located and available to everyone. It is supplemented by branch libraries and reading rooms con- taining technical subject matter collections. Recreational reading is also furnished through especially selected shelves of books called the Headlight Collection and located in the new building adjacent to the Circulation desk. Small collections of recreational reading material are also main- tained in appropriate dormitory buildings. A Student Library Committee functions and has worked successfully on a number of projects including a student examination file. The library is of course committed to play an active part in the college war program. It serves as a key center for the dis- tribution of civilian defense materials in the collections of ma- terials relating to our Allies. The Reference Room contains a 16-drawer vertical file of our war books and pamphlets ar- ranged alphabetically for ready reference. The Branch Li- braries also have special collections and exhibits relating to their special curriculum.

DUNCAN The Graduate School at Penn State was es- tablished twenty years ago. It did not come into existence because of demands from within the institution, but as a response to the needs of mankind. Human progress and development called for such an agency. The professions, in- dustries, and government cannot developeei- ther in war or peace-without research and leadership. Graduate study is the best prepara- tion for all these important walks of life. The F. D. KERN Graduate School program is most essential, then, Rfor the development of those Who should learn and transmit to others the lessons of the past and the hopes of the future.n
