When reviewing the enrollment historical records

It appears Penn State has always been 3 to 4 times the size of tech. Tech really didn’t fulfill its mission of being a large land grant university until the 60s or 70s when significant growth occurred. In 1970 it appears VTs enrollment was about 11,000 and Penn State was 35,000.

Was that the way Penn State did it back in the 70s though? The 35k you
