<p>These three encoded files were documents found in the box "Penn State Behrend Collection" in the archives of Penn State Behrend. The documents were in individual sleeves within the box, and at their orignal time of creation, were pasted to paper in collage-like form. These documents were composed of images, newspaper clippings, and handwritten captions. Corrections were made during the encoding process to modify the text found on the newspaper clippings, as the text was confined to the space on the page and words were hyphenated at the end of a line, and continued on the line below. In this encoding, the words are not hyphenated, thus they were silently corrected. The purpose behind encoding these 3 documents was to digitally preserve their contents, as they date back to the 1940's during the beginning of the college.</p>

<head>Behrend Farm is Donated To Penn State for Center</head>
<head>GIFTS IS MADE IN MEMORY OF MIL FOUNDER
College to Spend $50,000; Site to Open in Sept.</head>
<p>Acceptance is being announced today by the board of trustees of Pennsylvania State College regarding an outright gift by Mrs. Mary B. Behrend of Glenhill Farm for location here of a center of the college.</p>
<p>Glenhill Farm, a tract of approximately 400 acres and including several buildings, is located in Harborcreek township, two miles south of Wesleyville on the Station rd. The Center is to be opened for freshmen in September for the fall term. </p>
<p>The estate includes the beautiful early Dutch Colonial summer home of the Behrends and has other buildings easily adaptable to college purposes. There is also a large swimming pool which is heated. It will be housed in for year-round use.</p>
<p>Approximately $50,000 is to be expended immediately in remodelling various buildings for college class room use. The large garage is to be converted into a chemical laboratory and the big barn will be remodeled into class rooms and a laboratory. </p>
<p>Possibilities for future expansion of the Center are unlimited, The resident faculty will live in the spacious summer home which will also contain library facilities.</p>
<p>The idea of the establishment of a Center in Erie by Penn State originated about one year ago with J. Elmer Reed, Erie attorney. Plans eventually progressed to the point where the matter was brought before the school board. The latter body refused to grant a request to use Marshall School for the Center. Public interest was stimulated and the Behrend gift followed. </p>
<p>The gift by Mrs. Behrend is in memory of her husband, Ernst R. Behrend, to provide the initial facilities for a Center of Penn State to be known as the Behrend Center. It is meant to be a continuation of the philanthropy and interest in the development of the life of the community so clearly demonstrated by Mr. Behrend in his lifetime.</p>
<p>From the time of his coming to Erie in the late 90's as one of the founders of the Hammermill Paper Co. to the time of his death on Sept. 22, 1940, his interest in the development of the welfare of the city of his adoption was manifest in many ways.</p>
<p>The late Mr. Behrend's interest in the city was manifest in his personal charities, in his connection with the formation and development of the Community Chest, in his position on the board of managers and as president of Hamot hospital, and in his interest in the procuring of appropriations for St. vincent’s hospital. He had always encouraged the development of educational opportunities for young people beyond the public school system.</p>

<head>Driver Held After Auto Hits Truck
2 City Workmen Escape Injury In Collision</head>
<p>A 21-year-old Erie college student is near death in St. Vincent's Hospital today with injuries suffered shortly before 6 a.m. today in a car-truck crash at 21st St. and East Ave. Richard L. McCreary, of RD 2, McKee Rd., is reported suffering from a fractured skull, brain hemorrhage and the loss of the left eye. Police reported doctors held little hope for McCreary's recovery.</p>
<pb n="2" facs="Cimage1.jpg"/>
<p>According to Patrolman Kenneth Robison and William Podbieleski, who investigated, McCreary was a passenger in a car operated by William Short, 20, of 2401 Union Ave., Wesleyville. Both are students at the Behrend Center of the Pennsylvania State College in Erie.</p>

<p>Investigators said a garbage truck owned by the City of Erie was parked on 21st St., between East Ave. and Perry St., while workmen were collecting garbage from homes in that area. Driver of the truck was listed as Stanley Domowicz, 52, of 307 Reed St.</p>
<p>The auto operated by Short was traveling east on 21st St., when it crashed into the left rear of the city truck. Police said the impact was so great that the top was completely torn from the car.</p>
<p>INVESTIGATORS SAID the car was a complete loss, but the truck had only a smashed fender.
McCreary, riding on the right side of the car, was in the direct line of the impact and was pinned. (Continued on Page Two, Col. 4)</p>
