The atmosphere that set this university apart from many others wasnit due to our academic programs or our athletic teams-although these were certainly a significant part. The factor most responsible was much simpler, much ,more basic-our people. The meld of different faces and personalities of students, faculty, and administration formed, in Penn State, a much greater whole. From our grass roots beginnings as a farmers high school, the traditional values of responsibility, coop- eration, and involvement have been instilled in each graduate. Our values are what have us to the position of a nationally respected educational institution and started our graduates on paths to greater accomplishments. Our people are willing to take matters into their own hands when they feel a change is necessary. When something needs to be done, they'll pursue their goals with unequalled spirit. Characterized by this attitude, Penn State is continually growing, building and changing, and renewing its commitment to the traditions that have formed thebackbone of this uni- versity. -jb
