Btolr County Laat Chance of Getting

Blair county was very nearly sele-
*ted ia 1866 as the site for the Peon*
sylvania State College which is celebrating tbe 76th anniversary of its
founding on October 28, 24 and 26.
The college ia now a "growing sea*
cern" of 4800 students and 600 em*
ployes turning over several mllion
dollars a year an "industry" of whieh
say community in the State might bs
proud.
Amoung the   nine   counties   from
which substantial offers were received by the trustees to locate   the college in their-communities, that   from
Blair almost persuaded them to locate the college there. The offer   from
Centre Coanty was finally selected Ss
'combining the most essential advan-
ages of soil, heahhfulness, and.can.
atity," after all of the site* offered
ad been examined carefully.
Judge James Miles of Erie County
;de the first offer, 200 acres of land
Girod   Township, situated   about
ghteen miles   west of   the dty   of
Irie and along the lake front.   Genii Irvin offered 200 acrea in   Cen-
County, which wseaccepted even-
ally, together   with an   option   on
0 adjoining acres. ESias Baker of*
ed 200 acre* In Blair Coanty end
citizens of th* county offered   to I
rchase an additional 200 acrea   to I

nty at a nominal priee, George A.
ard made a similar offer of   600

^     '*",***-*%*'
 made by TJTW.   Senator   Simon
Cameron who pledged the coanty to
raise $10,000 to purchase a farm
near Harrisburg, and offered to lead
the subscription list with f 1000 him*
eelf.
When the committee was ready to
report on the offers, the  citizens   ef
Centre   and    Huntingdon    Counties
pledged  $10,000   additional   if   the
college were located in their respective counties. Blair County promptly
duplicated tite   offer for   their   ait*
near Altoona, but individuals in Centre Coanty pledged additional amoun-
ta which   brought   the   entire   offer
' from the coanty   to sboat   $25,000,
' approximately a   quarter of   the a-'
I mount estimated as required to fonnd
tbe college, and the   Farmers   High
1 school , now the Pennsylvania State
College, was located   in the   Nittany
Valley.
The site selection was   made   at a
meeting of tite first board of trustees
held st Harrisbu™ on September 14,!
[ 1855, seven months after the legislator* provided a charter for   a   farm
I'school with the backing of ths Penn-
sylvania Agriculture  Society. Judge
Fredrick Watts,   for 80 years   presi-
j dent of th* Cumberland Valley Railroad, was th* first trustee president.
