  1. I am thinking that Penn State College might be Penn State University now...It is right out in the middle of the center of the state. It was founded there so everyone would have to travel the same distance.

  2. That's my assumption too.

    What I haven't figured out is Phi Tau. I have not found any references to it being at Penn State.

  3. The Pennsylvania State College was renamed Pennsylvania State University in 1953. Before I bounced one too many tuition checks and got the old heave ho, I was a student at PSU. While there, I was told that it was founded as a state farmer's high school and it was sighted in Centre County because there was a lot of cheap farm land there in a fairly flat, well watered valley. Never cared enough to verify the story.

  4. The only thing I remember about Penn State is my mother talking about going there in the fall for football games back in the 1930s. It always sounded somehow wonderful.

  5. It still in out in the middle of farmland PA. Now there is an interstate going from Altona to I 80, just east of Lockhaven. It is a beautiful campus. The old country roads too forever, now it is a quick but uninteresting ride.
