The growth and development of a college, like th at of other institutions whose aim is to serve the public interest, covers a wide scope and must of necessity take into account many factors. It is easy to point out material progress. Buildings, land, and physical improvements speak for themselves, but a college is not merely campus, laboratories, lecture rooms, shops — a physical plant. The real college is a spirit that energizes — a spirit that permeates faculty, student body, and administrative officers. It is the sum total of its services to youth. It is the cumu- lative effect of great teaching. In a teachers college it is to be measured by improved and enriched opportunities to children to grow in stature of body and mind and soul. This phase of a teachers college can be felt. It is a spiritual fact that cannot be reduced to figures and diagrams. In the last eleven years California has much to show in the way of material advance . Its campus has grown to almost double its former size. A systematic plan to beautify and protect this campus has met with ready response and participation from the student body. New construction has been accompanied by con- stant remodeling of old buildings, improving and increasing fa- cilities for student comfort and convenience. The spiritual side has far outstripped the material. Constant increase of faculty preparation, growth of cooperation in the control of activities and participation of students in all phases of college life have built a tradition of friendliness conspicuous on the campus at California. The religious life has been virile and tolerant. Constant improvement in scholastic standards has been evident. In the way of service to western Pennsylvania, California has been designated to develop the special fields of Industrial Arts and special education. In Industrial Arts and in the psychologi. cal, speech, and reading clinics, California has been a pioneer and the last eleven years have witnessed growth from an insig- nificant beginning to national recognition in at least one of these particulars. California is on the march toward greater accomplishments and greater service. PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE ROBERT M. STEELE

FRESHMAN ORIENTATION Under the instruction of the administration, faculty, and upper classmen, approximately two hundred fifty freshmen were ori- ented into life on the California campus at the beginning of the 1938-39 term. Following the administration of various psychological, apti- tude, and I.Q. tests, the plebes were initiated into the complicated registration procedure. Advancing steadily from post to post each newcomer had his photograph taken; schedule, class cards, and general information sheets filled out; and matriculation fin- ally completed. Orientation classes were conducted to inform freshmen of persons, affairs, and facts pertinent to the development of Cali- fornia, including social functions, campus personalities, and traditions. After fifteen weeks of study a customs test was given, and those passing were eligible to take the California pledge drawn up by the Customs Committee and administered for the first time on Armistice Day. The boys doffed their dinks and received the California badge; the girls discarded their armbands and accepted the charm bracelets bearing the freshman year insignia.
