Ralph’s future in the balance. Meanwhile, the Royal Simla
Club plays host to an important royal guest: the Maharaja,
and his mysterious mistress.

Past the bell tower of Old Main, beyond the halls
of academia, and outside the venerated field of
Beaver Stadium, the legends of blue and white
are gathered to tell their stories. At the Penn
State All-Sports Museum, visitors see
firsthand the athletic history and heritage of one
of the greatest universities in the nation. As visitors
explore the Museum they encounter the inspirational
stories of men’s and women’s sports achievements through a variety of interactive exhibits
and dramatic visuals. The Penn State All-Sports Museum is a proud supporter of WPSU and
Unrivaled: The Penn State Football Story. www.gopsusports.com/museum
