Announcements: Today we had a guest
speaker on Penn State history
Lecture notes:
PENN STATE: THE HISTORY AND
EVOLUTION~
- Old Main- once completed it housed
everything....it was the only building. It housed the
students, faculty, classrooms, library, museum, dining
halls, etc...
- Old Main was patterned after the
Nassau Hall in Princeton
- In 1882, George Atherton became the
president of Penn State and remained the president until
1906
- Engineering turned to be the fate
of the college around--75% of all students were majoring
in engineering
- Botany building was built and
completed with the size of Old Main
- There were 3 different building
periods: (1) Old Main (2) Romanesque -we are now
concerned about how to lay these buildings out (3)
Modernized
- Penn State got a lot of buildings
in the mid 1930's due to the depression and public works
projects
