of the state and nation. His influence on State College has been very great, for he served his alma mater as a member of its board of trustees, as secretary of its executive committee, and as friend and counsellor for many years. At the time of his death he was a member of the Board of trustees and of the Executive Committee of the New University, which includes State College.

"Good citizenship and how to promote it among the youth of our great State was a passion with him, and his major concern for the instruction at State College was that the young men attending this institution should have an exalted conception of the ideals of a good citizen. He founded the Elder P. D. Gold Citizenship Medal, in memory of his father, that the best civic ideals might be held up continually before the student body of this institution. This award has been made annually for many years to the best all-round citizen among the students of State College, and the donor was always present when the award, was made and showed real interest and keen satisfaction at the fine qualities of citizenship portrayed and at the interest the students exhibited.

"It is impossible to estimate the influence of his life and ideals on the student body of this institution. State College mourns his untimely passing."
