Paterno Contributions

Being a student at Penn State you are almost immediately thrust into creating writings and projects that require research. I'm studying to get a bachelors of architecture degree and from the get go we had to research historical documents and the web for  buildings that inspire our designs as well as historical buildings we have to replicate. Using Penn State's tremendous resources like the Paterno-Patee library helps me discover the information I need to get my projects done right. Our library at Penn State would not have nearly as much content and wealth of knowledge without Joe Paterno. Paterno donated thousands of dollars to the library, of whom it was named, and gave the library a plethora of print resources ranging on all sorts of topics. The Penn State library is one of the most important resources available to students. We should all be grateful for his contributions for without them obtaining information would be made much more difficult. Despite what's happened within the last year Paterno should not be tarnished because of the scandal but should be remembered by all his contributions to knowledge and our football program.
