There is a magical story about the history of Pennsylvania State University. One is called Nit ta nee Indian Girl, her boyfriend is a brave soldier, called Lion's Paw. In a tribal battle, the lion's paw was sacrificed. Sad Nitani walked into Tassey Mountain and Vulture To bury in the Brave Valley between the Bald Eagle Mountain. One night, when Nitani put the last bit of earth on the grave, it suddenly became stormy. The local Indians were surprised to find that Nitani had disappeared. Then, the tomb of the lion's paw suddenly began to rise, and finally a mountain peak was formed in the middle of the Valley of the Warriors. Since then, the Indian residents in the valley have lived very quietly. It is said that there is one religious assembly held on Double Ninth Festival Take eleven warriors to drive out all evil forces that disturb peace. In order to commemorate the warriors and girls, the residents named the mountain and the valley on the left after Nittany. That one lion It is called the Nitani Lion. A long time later, a European scholar named Evan Pugh came here Nittany Valley After hearing the story of the Indian, he decided to build a school here to let the lion's courage guard knowledge and belief, so Pennsylvania State University was established here, and the Nitani lion was the mascot of the school.

Shortly after his death, in 1909, the school set up the College of Engineering according to its wishes. This is the first engineering college in the United States, so it is regarded as the birthplace of American engineering.

The last purpose of the school is scientific research, which develops relatively slowly. From the 1930s to the 1950s, engineering gradually overtook agriculture as the first subject of the school.

When I read in the library at 11:00 in the middle of the night, I sometimes feel lonely. It's not easy to find someone to talk to. In addition, in terms of schoolwork, because the way teachers teach and test is different from that in China, they will feel very hard at the beginning. How to accept setbacks, make persistent efforts and strengthen psychological construction They are all necessary abilities on the way to study.
