THE OHIO ALUMNUS

Western Reserve Chapter Inaugurates Season With Fine Meeting at University Club

Large Attendance Qratifying to Officers

The Western Reserve chapter of the Alumni Association opened the season for alumni gatherings with its annual dinner-meeting at the Cleveland University Club, on Saturday evening, December 4. Living up to the repu- tation and standards established by past offi- cers over a period of years this year's leaders staged a party which will stand out as one of the finest in the history of such affairs.

As before mentioned, the evening's festivi- ties were enjoyed at the University Club, 3813 Euclid Avenue, where the main dining, a lounge, and a ballroom were at the disposal of the 160 Ohio University guests. As adver- tised in the cleverly composed advance notices of the chapter's committee on arrangements the club had "just the right atmosphere, a bit of savoir faire, a trace of bon vivre, a soupcon of I'esprit de diable — whatever all that means." The selection of the club was heartily endorsed.

A reception at 6:00 o'clock preceded the dinner one half hour later. As to the post- prandial program, the following paragraph lifted, again, from the intriguing letter of invitation will give a hint as to what may have taken place.

"After a delectable dinner (the Chef is reverently spoken of by them as knows), whom shall we have the pleasure of listen- ing to but that mighty Ohio University trio of celebrities — whom, indeed: — Prof. C. N. Mackinnon, Coach "Butch" Grover and Clark E. Williams, Alumni Secretary. This trio will not sing, if we can help it, but they will talk. Prof. Mackinnon will discuss the Rise of Im- morality on the Campus or something almost as good. Coach Grover will give us the in- side explanation of our 1000 "'/r standing at the top of the B. A. A. And Mr. Williams will explain why we haven't had a single copy of The Ohio Alumnus yet this Fall. He prom- ises to bring the new Varsity Song Books along. Also, Samuel L. McCune, our rep- resentative on the University Board of Trus- tees, is preparing a short address which judg- ing from our past experience, won't be hard to take. Altogether this part of the program will be worth coming from all parts of Northern Ohio to hear." Except for the fact that both Prof. Mackinnon and the Alumni

Secretary sidestepped their assigned themes the program was carried out as predicted. Cards, dancing, and general conversation occupied the time until well toward Sunday morning.

The officers under whose supervision the plans for this meeting were made and car- ried out were: President, Dean B. Copeland, '20, A. B. in Com.; Vice-president, Earl Rader, '09, E. E. — 2 yr. ; Secretary, Hazel Cline, '16, A. B. ; and Treasurer, John C. Richards, '12, B. S. in Ed., '13, B. S. B. W. Taylr, '11, B. S., and Carr Liggett, '16, A. B., past presidents of the chapter, were the re- maining members of the committee in charge. The officers elected for the coming year are President, Carl L. Tewksbury, '11, Ph. B. Vice-president, Harry R. Wilson, '17, A. B. Secretary, Elizabeth Herbert, '22, A. B.; and Treasurer, John G. Hibbard, '22, A. B. in Com.

Those present at the meeting were : Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Fletcher, M. S. Bethel, Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Blackstone, Leona E. Clark, Emelyn H. Close, Mr. and Mrs. Dean B. Copeland, Madora and Theora Davis, Wil- liamina Elmer, Uarda Faine, Carrie 0. Feis- ley, J. L. Finnicum, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. God- dard, Mrs. Elizabeth A. Hartinger, Mr. and Mrs. W. F.

THE OHIO ALUMNUS

Michigan Educator Heads Agricultural Association

Professor at Michigan State

Dr, Qreisheimer Qoes Abroad for Physiological Research

High Rank In Profession

Wide prominence in the field of agricul- tural education has come to an Ohio Univer- sity graduate of the class of 1915. The per- son referred to is Branson A. Walpole, head of the department of Vocational Agricultural Education and Supervisor o f Vocational Teacher-Training at Michigan State College (formerly known as Michigan Agricultural College). In recognition of his extensive study and research and of his standing in his profession, he w^as, in November last, elected president of the American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Agricultural Teaching at the meeting of that body in Washington, D. C.

Prof. Walpole has been a member of the Michigan State College faculty since the fall of 1921. For six years, 1915-1921, he was instructor in Agi'iculture in Central High School, Ypsilanti, Mich. Here he was also coach of athletics. Under his tutelage sev- eral men were given the start that carried them to considerable fame in athletic circles. Bernard Kirk, recent All-American football selection ; Bob Brown, University of Michi- gan gridiron captain; and George Haggerty, captain of Michigan's basketball team, were some of his high school proteges.

Besides heading up the national association, Mr. Walpole is assistant supervisor of Voca- tional Agriculture for the state of Michigan, president of the Michigan Vocational Society, and past president of the Michigan Rural Society. He is a member of Sigma Pi (hon- orary biological fraternity), Seminarius Botanicus (honorary botanical fraternity), and the Michigan Academy of Science.

The published vrritings of Prof. Walpole include Teaching Economic Botany in the High Schools, History of Agricultural Edu- cation in Michigan, Flora of Washtenaw County, Mustards of Michigan, Outlines for Teaching of Animal Husbandry in High Schools, and Outlines for Teaching of Crops and Horticulture. As an amateur plant col- lector he has assembled a private collection of over 3,000 species in addition to two col- lections of nearly 2,000 plants each given to the University of Michigan and Michigan State College.

This progressive alumnus is married and has a family of three fine daughters. The Wal- pole home is in East Lansing.

Dr. Esther M. Greisheimer, '14, B. S. in Ed., will sail, Jan. 8, on the S. S. Tuscania from New York for Berlin, Germany. Miss Greisheimer is a member of the medical fac- ulty of the University of Minnesota and is using her sabbatical year's leave for highly specialized research in the Physiological In- stitute in Berlin. The German institute was chosen because in it are to be found certain scientific instruments available only in a very few laboratories elsewhere in the world.

Miss Greisheimer's rise in the field of sci- ence has been marked and well-deserved, com- ing as the result of persistent eifort. In addi- tion to her degree from Ohio University she holds the M. A., Ph. D., and M. D. degrees from other schools. She has done graduate and research work at Tufts College and Clark University in the East and the University of Chicago and the University of Minnesota in the Middle-West. Miss Greisheimer was also an instructor in Physiology at Wellesley Col- lege for one year. She is entitled to wear the keys of four honorary medical organiza- tions and to practice medicine in any state in the union without a state examination. The latter recognition came as the result of suc- cessfully passing an examination lasting nine full days.

On December 31, 1926, Miss Greisheimer entertained a group of her intimate friends of the Ohio University campus days at her home in Chillicothe, Ohio. The six persons attending the reunion were members of a group of nine among- whom a "Round Robin" letter has been regularly circulated for the past twelve years. Three of the group were unable to be present. Those who enjoyed the occasion were: Misses Claire Reynolds; Blanche Shupe, Nellie Shupe, Esther Taylor, Eunice Taylor, and Miss Greisheimer.

During her stay abroad Dr. Greisheimer will be located at the Physiological Institute, Luisenstr 56, Berlin N. W. 6, Germany. She will return to the United States late in July.

University Club

The membership lists of the new Univer- sity Club of Columbus, Ohio, are still open. Ohio University men residing in or near Co- lumbus who are interested in affiliating with the organization should get in touch with the club secretary, Mr. G. T. Landrum, 8 East Broad Street.

THE OHIO ALUMNUS

University Trustees Pass Within Brief Period --Life Term Appointees to Governing Board

Places Not to be Filled

Two university trustees dying within the space of a few hours and a third less than a fortnight later is the rather unusual record of the past month. Mr. C. C. Davidson pass- ed away at his home in Alliance, Ohio, late on the evening of December 7. He was followed at one o'clock the next morning by Hon. Timothy S. Hogan, '95, who suc- cumbed to pernicious anemia at his home in Co- lumbus, Ohio. On Decem- ber the 22nd word was re- ceived of the death, at New Lexington, Ohio, of the third trustee, Mr. Philip M. Cullinan. The three trus- tees were life appointees to the board and according to the reorganization scheme effected by Governor Davis in 1921 their places will not be filled.

Mr. Davidson was the second oldest member of the board in service, his appointment dating back to 1891 during the presidency of Dr. C. W. Super. The honorary degree of Master of arts was con- ferred upon him by Ohio University in 1886. He was superintendent of the public schools of Alliance for nine years and was prominent in the fraternal circles of his city.

Mr. Cullinan died at his home following an illness of approximately a year's duration. He became a member of the board in 1912. He was owner and editor of the New Lexing- ton Herald. He was one of the Ohio man- agers of the Chicago World's Fair.

Mr. Hogan was born June 11, 1864, in Jackson county, Ohio. Prior to the receipt of the Ph. B. degree from Ohio University in 1895 he edited the paper of his home town, Wellston, and presided over the school sys- tem of the town for eight years. While in the public schools he became interested in law. After study at Ohio Northern and Ohio State universities he was admitted to the bar in 1894. He was made a trustee of his Alma Mater bv Governor Cox in 1918.

Hon. Timothy S. Hogan

Although Mr. Hogan was active in Demo- cratic politics in all recent campaigns he made his last race for public office in 1914, when he ran against Warren G. Harding for a seat in the United States Senate. He was a can- didate for congress in 1896, and while he was defeated, he ran far ahead of his ticket. In 1910, after a defeat for the same office two years previously, he was elected Attorney General of Ohio. Two years later he was again elected, this time in- creasing his plurality from 7,000 to 150,000 votes. His service was rendered the state during the last term of Gov. Harmon and the first term of Gov. Cox.

Following his defeat by the late President Harding in the senatorial campaign, Mr. Hogan took up the practice of law in Colum- bus. During his legal career he practiced before all of the various branches of the state courts, the United States district courts, and frequently before the Supreme Court of the United States. At the time of his death three of his children, Charlotte A., J. S., and E. P. Hogan were associated with him in the firm of Hogan, Hogan, Hogan and Hogan.

The picture of Mr. Hogan shown on this page, as many will recognize, was taken fif- teen or twenty years ago.

An editorial in the Ohio State Journal of Dec. 9, says, "Everybody called Timothy S. Hogan, Tim. He was extraordinarily popu- lar. Perhaps no man in Ohio had more per- sonal friends. These friendships he owed primarily, no doubt, to his own big heart, liberal mind, and genial disposition but be- hind these attractive qualities was sterling character."

One and One-Third Millions Requested

The current appropriation period for the tax-supported institutions of Ohio will come to an end June 30, 1927. Between the present moment and the middle of the year the legis- lature will find time to set aside a portion of the income anticipated by the state during the next two years for the use of Ohio University.

Budget makers in a score or more of institutions have been busy estimating their needs and have submitted their requests to the state budget commissioner. These include the wel- fare, penal, and educational institutions. In some quarters modesty in budget construction probably will be no more in evidence this year than in past years. Asking much and receiv- ing little apparently brings no discouragement so that that practice continues from year to year.

Budget builders at Ohio University, however, have nothing in common with those who close their eyes, think of all the money in the world and then go after it. President Bryan's policy, to which he gave enunciation at the time of submitting his first budget and to which he has since adhered, is to estimate the genuine and reasonable needs of the university as accurately as human forethought and study will permit; asking for nothing that the institu- tion cannot properly utilize and assimilate within the allotment period but overlooking none of the demonstrable needs of the school. When departmental estimates are placed upon the desks of Ohio's administrative officers and finally approved nothing is added "just for good measure" or "to round out the figures." A couple of odd digits on the end of a figure are not objectionable to these officers and certainly carry as much weight with legislative com- mittees as a row of ciphers.

Our point is this, an Ohio University budget is a defensible document. All of the money that is needed to care for a normal growth and expansion together with funds for the main- tenance of a qualified faculty and a satisfactory physical plant, is sought — but no more. That the sincerity expressed in the making of the budget has challenged the attention and approbation of the law-makers at Columbus in the past is the testimony of disinterested persons who are in a position to know.

In order to make the ends of future appropriation periods coincide with the close of calendar years the legislature this spring will vote funds for an eighteen month's period beginning July 1, 1927, instead of for a biennium as will be the case thereafter. The budg- ets submitted to this legislature may normally, therefore, be expected to be proportionately less than in past years. For the coming year and a half Ohio University has asked that its request for $1,326,417.50 be approved. With anticipated state revenues estimated at $44,- 000,000 or, with the passage of additional tax-raising measures, $54,000,000, and budget requests already totaling $71,000,000 the use of even the most elementary mathematical processes will suggest the possibility of much paring and cutting in the offices of budget commissioner Brenneman and the legislative committees before the money bills are finally passed. We shall soon know whether or not a careful analysis of needs and an honestly constructed budget will be accorded reciprocal consideration from those whose duty it will be to keep the state's accounts in balance. It is our opinion that Ohio University will have little to fear.

The Board of Trustees

Just a word in explanation of the present make-up of the board of trustees of Ohio University and the plan for future appointments. Many alumni are unaware of a change in the number and the tenure of office of board members which was effected in 1921. Many, therefore, inquire why the places made vacant by the deaths of three trustees are not to be filled by Governor Donahey.

The reorganization which Governor Davis sponsored in 1921 provided for the abolish- ment of the life tenure of office and reduced the membership of the directing board to seven. Seven members were then appointed to hold office for lengths of time varying from one to seven years — one term expiring each year. The old members, having been appointed for

THE OHIO ALUMNUS

life, were retained on the board and will serve out their terms, it being provided that, upon death, their places shall not be filled. The boards of all the state tax-supported educational instiutions were reorganized in the same manner. Now, as in the past, appointments are made by the state executive to be confirmed by the Senate. The usual, though not invari- able, policy pursued by the governors of Ohio has been to confer with the heads of the uni- versities before making appointments to their boards.

The Ohio University board at present is composed of nineteen members with the presi- dent of the university and the governor of the state as ex-officio members. The members, their places of residence and the years of their appointment: R. E. Hamblin, Toledo, 1890; E. J. Jones, Athens, 1893; J. P. Wood, Athens, 1896; T. R. Biddle, Athens, 1900; James E. Kinnison, Jackson, 1906; Fred W. Crow, Pomeroy, 1911; Eli R. Lash, Athens, 1912; E. C. Eikenberry, Camden, 1912; Charles D. Hopkins, Athens, 1915; Herbert R. McVay, Athens, 1915; Arthur C. Johnson, Columbus, 1917; Thomas J. Davis, Cincinnati, 1917; Fred W. Bush, Athens, 1922; Carl D. Sheppard, Akron, 1922; David H. Thomas, Marietta, 1922; Charles W. Cookson, Urbana, 1922; Samuel L. McCune, Cleveland, 1925; Wilson H. McKee, Athens, 1925; and Fred G. Leete, Ironton, 1926. The last seven men were appointed in accordance with the new procedure.

Dr. Elmer Burritt Bryan is president of Ohio's board and Mr. George C. Parks is the secretary-treasurer. The president of the board is, by virtue of his office, chairman of all committees, which are Finance, Teachers and Salaries, Buildings and Grounds, Publicity, University Conference, Library, Extension, Teacher Training, and Auditing.

There are no appointees to the board having the official status of "alumni members" — such as are frequently to be found on the directorates of the endowed and sectarian in- stitutions— but at least twelve members hold degrees from Ohio University thus assuring a genuine interest in the welfare of the school on the part of those chosen to guide its des- tinies.

As Others See You and Us

We continue, this month, a series of excerpts from the address of Dr. William J. New- lin, Amherst College, before the last national conference of Alumni Secretaries.

"You see your customers are a peculiar lot. We all know there are alumni who think of college as an Amusement Park, whose idea of a campus is that of the place "where good fellows get together": whose thoughts — according to Mr. Gavit's recent book on "College" — are first football; second, baseball; third, college pranks and scrapes; fourth, other ath- letics; fifth fraternities; sixth — there is no sixth; whose formula (the article goes on to say) is, "I know my college is the best college because I went to it"; whose philosophy is "Rah! Rah! Rah! for dear old Alma Mater!" To such alumni as these you must carry a message they will understand with great difficulty. These are they who put their education into note- books; then laid their notebooks away with their caps and gowns; and there their education lies, motheaten, with the rest. They have not missed it much; nor have they missed a re- union or a big game since graduation. They know that scholarship is a fine thing*; they saw it once, they even had a nodding acquaintance with the lady; but they travel in another crowd now, and absent acquaintances are soon forgotten. In the case of such as they, you have to sell something invisible, to people who are blind."

"Fortunately, in addition to these who suffer from the results of intellectual infantile paralysis, there is an ever increasing number, who, here or there, in this course or that, with one teacher or another, actually caught a brain-fever, and have never quite recovered from it. These are and will always be your staunchest allies. These will know what you are talking about, without explanation. All alumni will give three cheers for Alma Mater; this latter group will give more ; these are the ones we depend on for sturdier support than cheers. I do not know how many alumni of the former type there are in your particular group: I am sure there are some, aren't there? For them, and for these others who treat their college experience far more soberly, you are the artists who paint their pictures of the college of today. What is your style in art? Are you realists? Romanticists? Impressionists? Car- toonists? Or do you furnish them with a weekly comic strip? I wonder if there is too mucb comic strip! It sells papers, it catches alumni. They do love a good time. "When good fel« lows get together" is always a drawing card. . . ."

Violin Instructor to Leave

To permit Prof. Karl Andrist to continue his violin studies abroad, Ohio University re- leased its instructor in violin from his con- tract on Dec. 1, 1926.

Just before the opening of the university last fall, Prof. Andrist had opened for him an opportunity to study abroad under Jacques Thibaud and Eugene Ysaye and then to make a European debut at the Salle Gaveau in Paris and a New York debut a year later. The chance was one of which he had dreamed ever since 1919 when Rudolph Ganz urged him to prepare for concert work, but which he never expected to realize. He respected his contract with Ohio University, however, and took up his duties as a member of the faculty, hoping to be released as soon as a successor could be found.

Prof. DeForest Ingerham, now of the fac- ulty of Wittenberg College will succeed Mr. Andrist as associate professor of Violin. He will come to Ohio University on February 1. Briefly, Prof. Ingerham, whose professional qualifications will be reviewed in a later num- ber of the Alumbus, is a talented violinist and an experienced orchestral conductor. Prior to his two years' service at Wittenberg- College he had taught privately in Albany, N. Y., and at the Ithaca Conservatory of Music, from which he is an honor graduate. He was for three years a student of Michael Press in Berlin.

Campus Leaders

The young gentleman whose picture is dis- played on the opposite page is Ray Cuttle Donnells. The particular reason for his appearance in this section of the magazine is that he is president of the Men's Union, the highest elective position to be had at the hands of Ohio University men.

Mr. Donnells is a senior in the School of Commerce and hails from Chillicothe, Ohio. His election to the chief office in the men's organization was the culmination of three years of rather widely-spread campus activity. A record of his affiliations and activities reads something like this: Past president of Phi Delta Theta, Phi Mu Alpha, Delta Sigma Pi, Torch, Square and Compass, Commerce Club, past president of Men's Glee Club,

The "On the Campus" picture appearing in the November magazine was that of Miss Marguerite Wick, '27, A. B., of Jackson, Ohio, president of the Women's League. As in the case of the presidency of the Men's Union, Miss Wick's executive position carries with it the highest honor at the bestowal of Ohio's women students. That Miss Wick has quali- fications of undeniable merit may be assumed upon reading the following outline of her campus biography : President, and past social chairman, of Women's League, member of basketball, base ball and track teams of the Women's Athletic Association, Westminster Council, Phi Mu, Y.

Sh! A Bit o' Scandal

Ye editor has long pondered the advisabil- ity of opening his columns to the choice bits of information and reports that occasionally drift his way. Come what may, we're going to give a slightly "yellowish" tone to the magazine this trip.

Up in Cleveland, on December 14, the Fifth City police arrested two young ladies and five men suspected of being New York bandits. One of the girls gave her name as Ruth Meyers and her age as twenty years. And — oh, what a blow — she told the cops that she had been a co-ed at Ohio University in 1925-26. Life in Athens, she said, had be- come very prosaic so she joined another Sheba in Columbus where they lived in a hotel until after the Ohio State - Michigan game. As in Athens, things finally palled on them, according to their story, and they found their way to Cleveland. There they had lived lives of comparative innocence and were greatly shocked to think that they should be accused of anything so unladylike as ban- ditry.

A careful combing of the Registrar's Of- fice, however, failed to reveal the name given above.

Embryonic Editors Convene

That college newspaper men have much to unlearn before being acceptable to their pro- fessional newspaper brethren was the not too- comforting word given the delegates to the meeting of the Ohio College Newspaper As- sociation held at Ohio University, December 3 and 5. F. W. Bush, member of the board of the American Newspaper Publishers As- sociation, added that college journalists ac- quire many erroneous conceptions of tech- nique and news value.

Prof. George Starr Lasher, professor of Journalism, in discussing the college editorial

practically the same route as that pursued by the Ohio girls last year. Their visit through Baltic Europe will permit them more or less extended visits in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Esthonia, Latvia, Lithuania, East Prussia, Poland (to the Russian frontier), Germany, Switzerland, and France. This tour through the countries of the midnight sun is out of the usual line of tourist travel and is one of the most interesting available.

The tour is planned to include sight-seeing and fun, social gaiety and educational oppor- tunities— opportunities for first-hand obser-

gave it as his opinion that the editorials first vation of present conditions and for forming of all should lead students to think, and individual tonnections of interest and value, should not be written with the view of form- Because of the official backing from govern- ing public opinion. He recommended that ments and foreig nuniversities, resulting

affairs of the campus be dis- pensed with frankness and fairness. An editor who leaves h i s chair with no enemies, he declared, prob- ably so because he has not been a good editor.

Europe to be Invaded Again

Largely because of the fine impression made abroad last year by Ohio University's ^Toup of girls traveling un- der the auspices of the In- ternational Student Hospi- tality Association and the travel committee of the Na- tional Student Federation of America, tours for groups of both women and men have been authorized for the university this year by the above organizations in association with the Open Road, Inc., of New York City.

THE FOR- When we read the early rec- MER DAYS ords of the Ohio University and learn that it began opera- tions in 1809 with but three students and no college building until 1817, we are prompted to think that it had an exceptionally humble beginning. Such was not the case. Probably very few of its predecessors were better pro- vided. Some not so well.

The oft-mentioned Log College, cuts of which may be seen in almost any history of Pennsylvania and of New Jersey, had three large windows in front on the second floor, two small ones and a door on the first, and was, of course, built of logs. It was first located on the west side of the Delaware river but later became the nucleus of Princeton University. The log college was first erected in 1727, and is often spoken of as the cradle of the Presbyterian church in America. It had a long and hard struggle, although it was successful in training many ministers of the gospel. So recently as 1875 an alumnus of Princeton told me that its standard was very low. In my college days it was reported that the trustees of Princeton college had passed a resolution that they would select no man to a professorship who had to study his lesson.

For more than fifty years after the forma- tion of Ohio as a state it contained very few preparatory schools; at the beginning of the century, none at all. Students who entered college had no preparation except a knowledge of reading, writing and elementary arithmetic. Moreover, improvement was slow. When I lived in Cincinnati I was acqaintued with a Miss Lathrop who in her day was prominent in the public school affairs of our state. She once told me that shortly before our conver- sation, when she had charge of a county insti- tute a raw youth came to her one day with an English Grammar in his hand in which he had marked a number of passages or difficulties which he requested her to aid him in straight- ening out. After these matters had been disposed of she asked the youth whether he was teaching and where. He replied that he was a professor in the local university. To the further question how many members the faculty consisted of his reply was: "Me and the president." Unfortunately Miss Lathrop did not tell me the name of the "university"' nor give me its location. It may have been

the nucleus of one of the forty-three colleges and "sich" in the Buckeye State. Here is another really true pedagogical story. Per- haps thirty years ago a man came to my office one day with a drama of Sophocles in his hand. He asked me whether I would give him a few lessons on the author; he had been elected professor of Greek in his Alma Mater, but had hardly looked into a Greek book since his graduation and had never read a drama of Sophocles. Later he informed me that he thought he could get along without my services. He is still professor of Greek.

In 1869 when I entered a German univer- sity there was not one institution in this country that provided facilities for post- graduate work. The Johns Hopkins at Balti- more was the first institution of the kind in the United States but it did not get into full operation until several years later. There was no female college, strictly speaking, until after the establishment of Vassar some time after the close of our sectional war. Yet there were in this country a number of female writers of whom Harriet Beecher (Stowe) occupied the first place. Her "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was more widely read than any other book published in this country before or since, either in the original or in translations. There were many so-called Female Seminaries — they were said to be called seminaries because their students did not half learn anything — and seminaries without a prefix attended by both sexes. When in the early sixties I at- tended Union Seminary, at which Dean Edwin Watts Chubb was later also a student, the boys prepared for college and the girls for "life" — or for anything that turned up.

Whatever may be the case with other sub- jects it can be most categorically affirmed that English composition can not be taught except in its elementary phases. The impulse must come from within and develop into a persistent urge. I venture to say that neither Milton, Wordsworth, Macaulay, Carlyle, nor Tenny- son ever received a lesson in English compo- sition; yet they wrote very well. Neither did Thomas Jefferson, Washington Irving, Mark Twain, Booker T. Washington, nor Abraham Lincoln. Only ordinary people need lessons in English composition, which means more than nineteen-twentieths of the population of these United States.

Meet Miss Wray

Dr: Edith Wray

Dr. Edith Wray is another who has lately come among us whom we have no hesitancy in proclaiming a member of the Ohio Univer- sity faculty. Her affiliation dates back to the beginning of the present school year and

her position is that of assist- ant professor of English in the College of Education.

Miss Wray is a native of Indiana, her home being at S h e 1 b yville. Her under- graduate work was done at, and the A. B. degree receiv- ed from De- Pauw Univer- sity. Following graduation she spent the year 1916-1917 at Bryn Mawr College in pursuance of advanced work in English. During the ensuing three years, 1917-1920, she was head of the Eng- lish department of the Shelbyville, Indiana, high school. At the close of this period she enrolled in Stanford University. While com- pleting the work for the Master's degree Miss Wray was also an instructor in the English department of the California school.

The University of Wisconsin was chosen for work on her doctorate. For her efforts in English and French, the Ph. D. degree was conferred upon her in January, 1926.

In addition to her pedagogical experience as a graduate student and in the Shelbyville high school. Dr. Wray was a visiting lecturer in Franklin College, Indiana, during the sum- mer session of 1924. The summer of 1927 will be devoted to travel and study in Eng- land and France.

Dr. Wray is a member of Delta Zeta and Phi Beta Kappa fraternities.

Larry Puts Out a Winner

George F. Gardner, '26, B. S. in Ed., cap- tain of the 1926 varsity football team didn't forget all about football when he received his diploma from Ohio University. As coach of the Laurel, Delaware, high school football team he brought his team through a sectional struggle to victory and on last Thanksgiving day saw his proteges win the state champion- ship.

"Larry" probably has plenty of spare time inasmuch as he sei'ves merely as coach of all sports, high school physical education instruc- tor and supervisor of physical education in the grades.

Eastern Chapters to Meet

Dates for the annual meetings of tht Eastern chapters of the Ohio University Alumni Association have been announced as follows: hiladelphia, Feb. 22; Washington, D. C, Feb. 24; New York, Feb. 26; and Bos- ton, Feb. 28.

Cagers Without Captain Soph Material Promising

Ohio University's basbetball team began practice early in December for the 1926-27 season. Intensive work-outs have been the order of the day since. Very few schedules in the past have been any "tougher" than that to be played this year and stamina will be just as much a prerequisite to success as skill in shooting or agility in covering the floor.

Green and White basketball teams have not fallen below fifth place among twenty con- ference schools during the six years that Coach B. T. Grover has had charge of the indoor sport. Grover's teams have won 91 out of 116 college games. In the 1920 and 1921 sea- sons Ohio University held the conference championship and in 1922 the team finished in second place. Coach Grover, an alumnus of the university, was captain of the basket- ball and football teams in 1918. Following his graduation in 1919, he went to Harvey, Illinois, as a director of athletics. He re- turned to Ohio University the next year to become head coach of basketball and assistant coach of football. The basketball mentor is also the 1926 golf champion of the Athens Country Club and holder of the alumni golf championship cups for the years 1924 and 1925.

The Bobcats are this year without the stel- lar playing of "Charley" Wright and the serv- ices of Walter Muir, captain of the team, who following the death of his mother, was un- able to return to school. Of last year's let- ter men only two, Eisenbrey and "Red" Long- ley, are back. Joe Sayles who showed to advantage two years ago completes the ros- ter of veterans. The team is rounded out, however, by augmentations from last season's yearling string. "Bud" Dubois and Jack Burkholder at the forward positions. Smith at center and Macklin at guard add strength to the team and to the hopes of its followers for a creditable showing in the percentage "colyum." The style of offense this year will distribute the scoring responsibility more even- ly among the five men since play ^vill not be built around an individual performer such as the famous Wright.

Bobcats '^Chaw^^ Redmen; Lose to Ohio State

In the opener of the preliminary training schedule the Bobcat basket tossers ran riot against the comparatively weak Redmen of Rio Grande College on December 11. From the beginning of the game the team, led by Eisenbrey and Burkhlder, scored at will, prac- tically every shot coming as a result of a short passing attack. Rio Grande did not show the same class as last year when the Bobcats had to hustle to nose out a victory. The down- state team seemed lost on the big floor and relied almost entirely on long shots. The final score was Ohio 59 — Rio Grand 11.

Primed and much encouraged by their show- ing against their first opponent the Grover- men paid a visit, on Dec. 15, to Ohio State University where the Buckeyes were met in the huge Coliseum. Determined to make a better showing against the Big Ten team than had Ohio Wesleyan's cagers a few nights before, the Ohio players fought desperately until the final whistle of the game when the scoreboard showed the count to be 38-26 in favor of "State." It was a great game, wit- nessed by 7,000 people, in which the Bobcats looked like a real team.

The Ohioans played the Buckeyes on even terms for the first twelve minutes. Near the end of the half, however, the Scarlet and Gray gradually drew away from Ohio and ended the period with a five point lead. In the sec- ond frame the home team came back strong and scored heavily before the Bobcats got their bearings again.

In speaking of the game a Columbus writer had the following to say, "The contest was more bitterly contested than the score indi- cates. Many times during the first half of the game, the score was tied. Only in the closing minutes of that period were the Bucks able to draw away from the visiting team.

"Even in the second half, with but a few minutes left to play and the score showing them at a marked disadvantage, the Bobcats refused to consider defeat and with fight sel- dom displayed on the Coliseum floor regis- tered four field goals in quick succession." Columbus fans were particularly impressed with the work of Dubois, Longley and Smith.

Mat Men Hope for Second B» A^ A. Championship

With veterans preparing for almost every class, the varsity wrestling squad is going through daily workouts under the watchful eye of Coach Thor Olson. The team is pointed, at the moment, for the match with Ohio State University on Jan. 14. Above all, however, the Bobcat grapplers are intent upon retain- ing the wrestling championship of the B. A. A. which they won last year.

Captain Bill Brubaker and Sereno Shafer are perhaps the outstanding men on the squad. Brubaker is in the 158-lb. class and Shafer in the 145-lb. class. Both are B. A. A. cham- tions at their weights and neither has ever had his shoulders pinned to the mat. Shafer has keen competition this year, however, in Jack Robeson, football captain-elect. Of the fourteen members of the wrestling squad six are regulars on the football team.

Charlie Blythe, Clell Duncan, and Joe Be- gola are fighting to represent Ohio in the light- heavyweight class. Blythe was the regular last year and probably still retains an edge on the position.

Among the "heavies" the Keck brothers — Henry and Pearl — seem to be stirring things up considerably. The smaller of the two weighs 210 pounds while the other weighs in at 250. The larger man was a team member last year but at present seems about to give way to the "little" fellow. Other men active in their efforts to hold or to gain places on the team are: Stocker and Griffith, 115-lb. class; Freddie Breed, B. A. A. Champion, and Glass, 125-lb. class; Roberts and Grant, 135- Ib. class.

The Bobcats will open the season against Ohio State, at Athens, January 14, and will thereafter have an engagement every week

until the B. A. A. tournament which will be held in Ohio Gym, March 4 and 5. Michigan State and West Virginia, in addition to Ohio State, are the non-association foes of the Green and White.

Coach Thor Olson who produces champion- ship teams, is himself the undefeated inter- national middle-weight champion. He is the holder of the Lord Lonsdale gold belt which he won in London in 1912 in competition with 124 contenders for the trophy. Olson re- tired from professional wrestling upon becom- ing coach of the sport at Ohio University. The Bobcat schedule: Jan. 14 — Ohio State at Athens.

21 — Ohio Wesleyan at Athens.

29 — Miami at Oxford.

Bliss Takes a Tumble

The smoke which gathered as a result of the red-hot game with Ohio State University had scarcely settled when the Bobcat team engaged the Bliss College quintet on the varsity floor. The Columbus boys came to Athens, Dec. 15, with a strong team and an impressive record. What had been scheduled for an easy workout following the O. S. U. game proved to be anything but recreation for Ohio. Although the game was won by a comfortable margin, 36-27, victory came only as the result of the snappiest sort of offensive play and a stubborn defense. Grover's team showed better balance in this game than in any played thus far. Five men worked to- gether to bring off the victory.

Freshies Are Qood

"The best squad I have coached since com- ing to Ohio University."

That's the verdict of Coach Zimmer of the freshman basketball team after seeing the first-year men in action for a week follovi?- ing the final cut in the squad. Sixteen men, including some of the best talent in Ohio high schools last year, are members of Zimmer's squad. These men are doing battle with the varsity every night and report has it that there is nothing for them to feel discouraged about.

Those showing to best advantage in the frosh galaxy seem to be: Campbell, Nelson- ville; Weiss, Oberlin; Swackhamer, Laurel- ville; Arnold, Cleveland; Bonnifield, Athens; Briggs, Cleveland; Bramer, Marietta; Trace, Zanesville; Barack, Charleston, W. Va. ; John- son, Ripley, N. Y. ; Singer, Cleveland; Thomas, Bellepoint; and Forrest, Cleveland.

Southerners Cancel

Cancelation "for the convenience of their schedule" was the action taken by the Georgia Tech "Crackers" with regard to the basketball game slated for December 20. Failure of this highly-touted team to appear on the Ohio floor was a disappointment to the Green and White fans.

Golden Anniversary

On Chrismas day, Dec. 25, 1926, Prof. F. S. Coultrap, '75, A. B., and Mrs. Cultrap ob- served their fiftieth wedding anniversary at their home in Long Beach, Calif. Prof. Coul- trap retired from the Ohio University fac- ulty in June, 1924, and since that time has sojourned in California.

John E. Kircher, Civ. Eng.-2 yr., was one of the victims of the head-on crash of two fast traveling Florida trains Vv^hich occurred at Rockmart, Georgia, on Dec. 24. John was at dinner in the dining-car of the northbound train when the trains met. He suffered a terrible shock and a broken rib. It was in this car that eleven people were killed and practically all of the remainder seriously in- jured. John considers himself extremely for- tunate to escape with his life. He was a con- struction engineer in Ft. Lauderdale and was returning to his home in Athens for the holi- days.

1924

Helen Pickrel, A. B., writes the office from P'ort Wayne, Indiana, and, like so many of our correspondents, does not give us a single Inkling of what she is doing to put in her time. But, as Prof. Treudley was wont to say, "Helen is a good girl," so we'll forgive the oversight this time.

Glenora Morgan, Kdgtn.-2 yr., has suc-

ceeded her sister, Miss Gertrude Morgan, as music supervisor at Oak Hill, Ohio.

J. "Mickey" writes in to express delight over the results of the football season and to wish "more power" to the basketball men.

The picture in this column is that of a door- way in the new Harkness memorial dor- mitory on the campus of Yale Univer- sity. The en- trance is in- scribed to Dr Manasseh Cut- ler, one of the f o u n ders of Ohio Univer- sity and a g r a duate of Yale. Above the door are carved these words. "Man- asseh Cutler, Botanist, and one of the Au- thors of the Ordinance of 17 4 3". The snapshot is an evidence of the photographic skill of Robert H. Horn, A. B., in Com., a Harvard student, upon the occasion of a visit to Edwin D. Chubb, Yale student, at the time of the 1926 Yale-Harvard game.

Ted H. Gerken, ex, a former editor of "The Green and White", is now in the New York editorial offices of the Iron Age Publishing- Co.
