TO THE STUDENTS OF VENANGO CAMPUS: — Your Venango Campus is not yet old enough to be a sage among colleges, but for five years now it has been gradually developing a composite character and personality, and it shall continue to do so. Just as each single individual has a character and personality, so likewise does each college have these. They should be such, that attending college should be similar for you to the experience of sitting at the feet of a verv ' great man — one who embodies much of the accumulated knowledge, wisdom, and ethics of his time. The elements, tangible and intangible, such as objectives, standards, traditions, moral influences, scholarship, and the like, accumulate and amalgamate year after year to represent the college as a living entity and thus become a part of the attend ing-student ' s heart and mind for the rest of his life. Just as the college affects you, you likewise affect the college, — for the kind of students you are while here, and the kind of alumni you become as you leave Venango Campus to complete your edu- cation elsewhere, will, in the final analysis, be the true measure of your college. As a student at Venango Campus, you have an obligation to both yourself and to your college — briefly, that obligation is to grow in wisdom and in favor with God and man. so that your friends and vour college will be better because of having known you. ' U t- DR. MORGAN, Administrative Head Venaneo Campus

VENANGO CAMPUS of Clarion State College is located on a beautiful sixty-two acre wooded tract at the end of West First Street in Oil City, Pennsylvania. In addition to its inspiring skyline of tall, stately trees, the site has its own natural lake which nestles at the foot of a heavily wooded slope near the entrance to the campus. Within full view of the new classroom building is the Allegheny River whose historic waters once joined Forts Venango and Pitt as they now connect Pennsylvania ' s famous Oil Fields and the world ' s greatest Iron and Steel Center at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Venango Campus opened its doors as a Community College — a branch campus of Clarion State College— on September 10, 1961, to 135 students. The fifth year of operation enrolled 400 students to the Venango Campus. IT ■I ' f ■ r. r r r r ir r r r »«c ' v-- .sfi v C
