A Penn State student was shot dead in Philadelphia late Monday afternoon nearby Temple University, according to a report from NBC Philadelphia.

The 23-year-old student, whose name has not yet been released, was sitting on the stoop of his girlfriend’s house with her and a couple other friends around 5:00 p.m. yesterday when a man walked up and asked for keys to the student’s red Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle. When the student refused, he was shot three times in the chest and face with a revolver.

Penn State and the Process of Life

To paraphrase Mark Twain: The reports of higher education’s death have been an exaggeration. American universities produce more research and relevant knowledge for the world at large than any other institutions I know of.
