On the the .lone-Lindzey report and other surveys and ratings, Penn State was ranked number one in the nation in the doctoral pro- gram in Physical Education. graduate pro- gram in Art Education and the undergrad- uate program in Architectual Engineering. Other programs ranked within the uTop loll by one survey or another were the undergrad- uate programs in Engineering Mechanics. Engineering Science, Nuclear Engineering and Environmental Engineering. If there is a conclusion to be drawn, it is that Penn State does harbor many pockets of excellence. The countless changes that took place in 1984 have only strengthened our University and enhanced its excellence. As a student body, we have become closer because we had to face these changes together. As individuals, we have become more aware of our uniqueness in the entire University com- Davc Ollclt munity. When we leave Penn State, we will take with us a greater sense of who we are, and leave behind the makings of what we may become. The Renaissance of Penn State was not merely a change-over of tangible entities- new calendars and new administrators. It meant more than the addition ofa new build- ing or the renovation of an old one. Most importantly it was a renewal of spirit which took place each day. When the streets are empty but for the street cleaners and even Old Main is silent, the town and campus drifts into restful sleep. When the sun rises over Mount Nittany each morning, Penn State wakes refreshed and renewed, and looks confidently into the future. -Kim Kubitsa eJudy Jansen Renaissance l5
