State aid denied as Pennsylvania House blocks university funding
Harrisburg June 19. The House defeated a $25,000 appropriation for the University of Pennsylvania and $10,000 grants for St Joseph’s Hospitals in Philadelphia and Reading. The defeat came after a failed bid to calendar a $100,000 State College building appropriation, amid heated exchanges between McClain and Voorhees and clashes over pork-barrel criticism.

Trustees critique Legislature on university funding delay
Provost Harrison and most trustees were away last night and could not comment. Joseph G. Rosengarten lamented the setback, urging more than 25 000 for facilities including a medical building, physical laboratory, gymnasium and dormitories, while noting a prior request of 800 000 was cut to 25 000. Other trustees questioned the influence of politics and quotes about Mr Quay’s responsibility. Richard Wood offered no clear reason for the action.
