| The Armory | |
| On the current site of the Willard building from 1892
to 1964 stood the Armory, which symbolized Penn State's Land-Grant Act
commitment to offer military training as part the nation's tradition of the
citizen soldier. Before World War I, participation in the cadet corps was
mandatory for all male undergraduates. The Armory was used for physical
education, varsity athletics, and social events. Designed by architect
Frederick Olds, its Richardsonian romanesque architecture made it a campus
landmark. |
