A Tradition MIKE 0mm ight from the start, La Vie created a special niche for itself in the Univer- sity community. The first editorial board of seven men and one women intended their class publication to be by the students, for the students. The greeting inside the front cover chal- lenged succeeding classes to continue the custom. Not one of them could have fore- seen how large their project would grow. As it grew in popularity and size, La Vie formed a tradition as the history book of Penn State. Through photos and copy, The Life of the University was forever preserved for alumni to relive and share with their children.

As a part of the University, these customs and achievements served to strengthen our ties and our devotion to our Alma Mater.
