THE FRONT COVER

The two individuals on the front cover are men who established great records as football coaches and who retired "full of honors" — Bob Zuppke, of Illinois, and Don Peden, of Ohio U. The picture was taken by Ben Martin, '52, at the Peden Farewell Dinner (see page 6).

From the Editor s Desk . . .

THE BEST of good wishes for the coming year to each reader of these lines wherever you are and whatever may be your present pursuits and interests.

If you are not already enjoying an annual income of $5,000 or more, we hope you will soon become one of those "average citizens" for whom President Truman's economists are making such rosy predictions.

But whether 1950 brings greater prosperity or not, we sincerely hope there is a great deal of real happiness in store for you during this kick-oiT year of the new half-century.

FROM ANOTHER editor's desk came the statement reproduced below. Referring to the recent gift to the university by a promi- nent alumnus (see page 5), it was written by Gordon K. Bush, '24, editor and publisher of The Athens Messenger and a trustee of Ohio University, and appeared as an editorial in the local newspaper. It is reprinted by permission of the writer.

l/L/elt oDeServed

The magnificent gift of money to Ohio University by John W. Galbreath should be seen as the result of a lot of good things.

It could be, alone, considered as generosity; or, as a mark of unusual business success; or, as sentiment. It is much more than those things, for it throws the spotlight of acclaim upon the University itself, its administration, its faculty and its future.

The Galbreath gift is a mile post in the development of the new Ohio University under the leadership of President Baker. It is certification that the many improvements which have been brought about in the last five years are outstandingly worthy. It is notice to the world at large that a superior job is being done by the combined efforts of a large staff of specialists in education. It is encouragement of a positive nature for the effort needed to bring about the good things planned for future accomplishment.

State institutions are not often remembered either by wealthy estates or by successful alumni. They are supposed to be able to get along on appropriations of tax-collected monies and the fees paid by students. The thing lacking in that system, good as it be over-all, is that state universities need to do many things necessary for the proper development of ability in young humanity, but which features are not permitted by law to be undertaken with public money.

Gifts to the Ohio University Fund, Inc., as we have often pointed out, make possible a caliber of phis service which has come to have a real meaning in higher education — a richness of intellectual and inspirational leadership carefully appHed so as to nourish ability which might go undeveloped under a routine system.

John Galbreath has understood and encouraged these things at Ohio University under the presidency of John C. Baker, and has previously given bberally to the institution. This gift of $50,000, however, is a mighty practical i:onfirn\atxon that the Ohio University has earned the right to it, and that the future of the University merits his confidence, as well as that of others.

That, it seems to us, is the most important thing for the friends of Ohio University to understand. The educational institution that a capable, successful man knows is doing a good job, is the one it is a pleasure to help.

Your University Today

^y(t rvhsdaae to ^Aru ^rom I resident (I3cii2

umni

As l^iU the second halt of the twentieth century — opens, every organization may well ask itself, what is our contribution to he now and in the years ahead to the preservation of human freedom and the dignity of man? These arc the great issues today. No institution should be more thoughtful in ansv.'enng this question than col- leges and universities. At Ohio University constant at- tention is being given by faculty and administration alike to questions affecting our role in today's world. Answers appear not only in formal course work but also in the spirit that pervades an institution. In this message to alumni I shall outline some of the broad ways in which we hope to meet this challenge.

A thoughtful observer of American universities. Dr. Earl L. Vance, asked the following discerning question in a provocative article about universities:' "Where is there a university characterized throughout by a spirit of friendly two-way respect as between teacher and student, teacher and administrator, administrator and student^"' I believe I can honestly say that we here in Athens have such an institution. The faculty and students are con- sulted and cooperate in important decisions and policies. This cooperation is not among a selected few, but in- cludes a large number of faculty and students. Students serve as full committee members, and their advice and counsel are welcomed. In addition to committee w'ork, a spirit of cooperation pervades faculty and student ranks. All know our objectives and work to achieve them. At Ohio University conditions exist, w-e believe, which per- mit many to learn of the "good life"" by participating daily in it.

A second way in which any university will contribute to a better world is by means of its "tone" or "'character." By ""tone"' I refer to the respect which faculty, students, and administrators have for high-quality work, perstinal character and integrity, human freedom, and respect for others. We are proud of this "tone" at Ohio University and hope it will continue to improve. This applies not only to our thinking about world crise* but also to every- day relationships. Our free society demands strong, in- dependent citizens of integrity. Universities can and must train such men and women.

Universities must also point the way to a better world by indicating to their students the present and future responsibilities of educated men and women. The future (if our country and the world depends not only on educa- tion but also upon the active part which educated men and women take in public affairs. A free society flourishes only where public opinion aggressively supports demo- cratic ideals and respect for the individual. Many temp- tations lure us away from these responsibilities and place security, personal comfort, success, wealth, and achieve- ment ahead of public welfare. Education must stress "what leads to what."

The picture on ihis page was taken when President Baker recently visited the home of Dr. Zenner in Cincinnati. Dr. Zenner, o retired physician, was 97 on May 17, 1949. He is o member o( the Class of 1870 and is the university's oldest living alumnus.

We also hope that Ohio University will make a great contribution to the welfare of all, through you, the alumni. Here, a two-way exchange of informatu>n must exist, just as it does between students and administra- tion or between students and faculty members. Alumni owe much to their university and to society. You are the present leaders- students will be the leaders of the future.

The relationship between American universities and their graduates is close and friendly and is getting closer as the years pass. Any well-established university knows that Its alumni body is one of its greatest assets. The better any university becomes and the better its reputa- tion, the more it means to its alumni. If, on the other hand, alumni fail to make their contribution to a univer- sity or to society, they also hinder and damage the con- tribution of the university. One outstanding character- istic of your university is the friendly rel.itionships which exist between it and its thousands of alumni in all parts of the countr>'. This relationship to be effective, however, must lead to close cooperation and deep interest at all times. Such ccxjperation will be welcomed by all of us in Athens. We want you to play your part in the achieve- ments of your university.

One problem w^hich >'ou face and which we hope to solve in 19^0 is how you can know your university as it is today. An accompanying problem to this one is, how can we inspire all alumni to tell their friends and others about Ohio University and its objectives? Your university today is a medium-sized, high-quality university giving personal education to each student. Its faculty is in- terested in the intellectual, moral, and physical well K:ing of individual students, as well as in their future careers and achievements. The university is prepared as never I efore to give quality instruction in many general and professional fields. Widespread knowledge <if these con- ditions is important to all. Such information will lead the right type student to enroll, will aid us in solving our financial problem, will help in the placement of students, and will help this university make its contribution to the cause of human freedom.

In a Changing World ZJne L^olleae of ^.^rtd and ^clenced

By Dean W, S. Gamertsfelder

The College of Arts and Sciences (called the Liberal Arts College from 1908 to 19.i2) had its beginning with the founding of Ohio University, hence it is the oldest of the seven colleges which now comprise the university. Until 1902, when the State Normal College (now the College of Education) was founded, the College of Arts and Sciences was Ohio University.

Like the earliest American colleges — Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Columbia — it was founded to promote liberal education and to lay a broad foundation for pro- fessional training and for informed and responsible citi- zenship. Emphasis in the beginning was laid upon such studies as Latin, Greek, philosophy, mathematics, history, and the basic natural sciences. Later, when it became clear that American life was to be enriched by the in- fluences of invention, scientific discovery, industry, busi- ness, and scientific agriculture, the curriculum was broad- ened to prepare the student for the fullest possible parti- cipation in the changed life of the state and nation. Then it was that the modern languages were added, also economics, political science, psychology, sociology, and geography, as well as courses in the fine arts and com- merce, and a new impetus was given to such sciences as chemistry, physics, botany, and zoology. More recently, courses in Russian and Portuguese have been added, also astronomy and geology, as well as courses in human relations. In all, the College now comprises sixteen de- partments with four related areas of study.

Education to he liberal today must cope with the facts of a changed and changing world, a world in which peoples of various races, nations, languages and vocational interests intermingle in a human society increasingly

interdependent through improved means of communica- tion, travel, trade, governmental arrangements, and cul- tural exchanges. Effective living in such a world requires flexibility in personal equipment and ability to make quick and informed adjustments to a complex social and physical environment. Yet it is recognized today, as by the founding fathers, that effective living in our time calls for integrity of character and refined emotional tastes. The recent developments in the College have been fourfold. One, in recognition of the importance of oral and written communication, facilities are provided through the Department of English, whereby every stu- dent in the university may acquire the ability to express himself in clear, concise and correct English. To achieve this end, the work in Freshman Composition has been revised, a proficiency test in English is required of all students during the sophomore year, and those who fail the test are advised to take remedial courses or to avail themselves of the services of the English clinic until they pass the test. Two, the physical and biological sciences have been revised in content and method of instruction to take account of recent discoveries and new knowledge, as well as better to prepare students for professional studies. Two one-year general education courses in the natural sciences have been introduced: The Physical World, which takes account of physics, chemistry, geology and astronomy; and The Living World, which presents the basic facts and principles of the biological sciences. Both courses arc designed for students not interested in scientific specialization, but only in a know- ledge of the basic facts, methods and principles in the natural sciences. Three, the social sciences are pointed in content, emphasis, and method of instruction to give the student not only a know- ledge of the origin, history, and meaning of the institutions of our civilization, but to prepare the student for active and intelligent participa- tion in the affairs of our economic, political, and moral life. Throughout these social studies, ac- (Continued on page 13)

John Galbreath Gives $50,000 to University

A gift of $50,000 to the Ohio University Fund, Inc., for Ohio Uni- versity, by John Wilmer Galbreath, "20, a trustee and now vice-chairman of the Board of Trustees of the uni- versity, was announced December ? 1 by President John C. Baker.

Prominent in the real estate busi- ness in Ohio and nationally and head of the John W. Galbreath Company, Columbus, the donor of the largest gift ever inade to Ohio University was graduated with an A.B. degree from Ohio University in 1920.

While the gift is outright, with no specifications tor its use at the present time, except to further the develop- ment of the Ohio University Fund as a perpetual establishment for the general gcxid of the institution, it was made with special reference to the late Helen Mauck Galbreath, '19, Mr. Galbreath 's wife and the daugh- ter of the prominent Mauck family of Gallipolis.

John Galbreath attended Ohio University 1916-20, with an interval spent in a field artillery unit during World War I. He was first appointed a trustee in 1941 and was re-ap- pointed for seven years in 1946. He is a past national president of the Ohio University Alumni Association and in 1940 was awarded the As- scxiation's "Certificate of Merit."

During a varied and active business career, he has been honored with the presidency of the Ohio Real Estate Board and presidency of the National Association of Real Estate Boards. He is a director oi the City National Bank 6? Trust Co., of Columbus, and of the Buckeye Steel Castings Company, and is one of the owners of the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball club. He has served on the State Board of Agriculture, and as a director of the Buckeye State Build- ing €r Loan Co., and is a past inter- national president of the Mercator Club, a service organization.

Prominent as a sportsman, Mr. Galbreath is a former captain of the River Ridge polo team, and for years bred thoroughbred racing stock at his Darby Dan horse farm near Col- umbus. Some of his horses were entered in Kentucky Derbies, Preak- ness Stakes at Pimlico, Md., and at other leading tracks.

Helen Mauck Galbreath was the daughter of Judge Rosct)e J. Mauck, who attended Ohio University in 1 8SS-92 and was awarded an honor- ary MA. degree in 1917. Judge of the common pleas court of Gallia County and on the Fourth Ohio Dis- trict Court of Appeals for 25 years, he served as assistant to Attorney General Wade Ellis, and was long a prominent citizen of Gallipolis.

Gerald Galbreath, "11, 2-yr., is a

brother of the donor. Joan Galbreath Phillips, a daughter, was graduated from the university in 1946. A son, Daniel Galbreath, is now attending Amherst College.

In turning over the investments to President Baker, Mr. Galbreath said: "As I have often told you, one of the happiest periods of my life was spent on the campus of Ohio Uni- versity, and it was there I met Helen Mauck who later became my wife."

University Bids Farewell

2),

on

The university- and Athens gave Don Peden a heart-warming sendoff last month as the man vs,'ho was as- sociated with Ohio University ath- letics for 26 years prepared to retire to his farm in Keota, Iowa.

University officials, teachers, fellow coaches, alumni, and athletes express- ed their esteem and appreciation for the man who has done so much to give Ohio University a sound reputa- tion in the realm of intercollegiate athletics at a four-hour long Peden Farewell Dinner in Lindley Hall, December 15.

Heading the list of some 125 guests was Bob Zuppkc, Peden's mentor when, as an Illinois halfback, he was cutting a memorable swath through the Western Conference in the early 1920"s. Zuppke. now retired, was the principal speaker and paid high tri- bute to his former all-conference pupil. From Illinois came also Burt Ingwerson, line coach, to help honor that school's illustrious alumnus.

President John C. Baker headed the universit>''s speakers. The presi- dent described the retiring athletic director as ""the personification of sanity in athletics."

Other speakers included Head

Football Coach Carroll C. Widdoes,

who, January 1, succeeded Peden as athletic director and director of phy- sical education; Associate Athletic Director William J. "'Dutch" Traut- wein; Dr. Blaine Goldsberry. '14, team physician: Dr. David Reese, Mid-Amencan Conference Commis- sioner; Boyd Chambers, a Peden and Ohio University admirer and Cincin- nati businessman and athletic official; Frit; Howell, Ohio Associated Press sports editor, and Ed Sudnick, Cleve- land senior, president of Varsity O.

Toastmaster was Brandon T. Grover, "19, assistant to the presi- dent, and formerly on the athletic staff with Peden. Dean W. S. Gam- ertsfelder. of the College of Arts and Sciences and the Graduate Col- lege, was chairman of the affair.

The gathering was climaxed with the presentation of gifts to Peden, including a life-membership in the Ohio University Alumni Association.

Peden responded to the tribute heaped upon him by praising others. He praised the "hundreds of kids" he coached here as the "boys who have made my life worth while," adding that he never had coached an Ohio team of which he wasn't proud. He paid tribute to Athens and to the university. He recounted the numer-

ous other jobs he has turned down because ""Athens was a nice place for me to live and a good place to raise my kids." He revealed that after his ""poorest season " the university gave him the biggest raise he ever received.

"That couldn't happen any place but here," said Peden, who spent his entire professional career at Ohio University.

An Appreciation Banquet staged by townsmen followed a few nights later at the Berry Hotel, at which Peden and his long-time colleague ""Dutch" Trautwein were honored.

Characterized as ""spontaneous" by Toastmaster H. C. "Jack" Bobo, "19, the affair was arranged by a commit- tee headed by C. B. Nye.

Other members of the committee included Dr. Goldsberry; R. W. Finstcrwald, "17. former Bobcat foot- ball coach; Dwight H. Rutherford, "26; H. D. Palmer, "lex; Carl H. Ferguson; Richard Banks. '4?; Wal- ter R. Davis, '39; Harper C. Pendry; Erie Bridsewater. Jr., '40; Harry Beckley, "lO; R. H. White. '20x; P. O. Nichols: Paul UUmark; Harold E. Wise. '28, former head football coach: Darrell H. Sams, '21; Jack Sweenev: Prof. Don R. Clippinger; Fred Beckler, '08, 2-yr.: Sol Rosen- berg, '35x, and Sam Altman.

Peden and Trautwein each were given console Stromherg-Carlson tele- \'ision sets by their friends who gathered to honor them.

When there is talk of the Peden regime, it is likely to come quickly to the famous team of "29. Nothing could be more natural. That was a group of willing workers, who always gave everything they had and whose abilities were fashioned by inspired leadership into a great scoring machine. Or it may with equal jus- tice turn to the undefeated team of '.^5, whose record may seem a trifle less glorious only because it came after the team of "29. Second miracles are never quite so impressive as the first. He w-ould be a rash person who ventured to say that the team of '30 was really inferior to that of "29, although one tie score marred an otherwise perfect record.

There are some, though, who will find in Peden"s first team, that of "24, the best demonstration of the quali- ties that have made him a great coach. Its record, four wins and four losses IS not spectacular, and man for man it was probably not the equal in ability ot the great teams of later years, when the fame of Ohio University "s coach- ing staff was attracting more high- grade players. But one game in that year was enough to win permanently the affectionate regard of old Ohio nxners. Let"s turn to the story.

The year before, when Peden was assistant coach, the squad journeyed to Delaware to meet a fine Ohio Wesleyan team. The result was humiliating to us. The score was 40-0 .igainst us and it was evident that it might easily have been double that. At the end of the game the Wesleyan bench was empty, and in the second half the timekeeper let his watch run unchecked. A team with no confi- dence, knowing they lacked the neces- sary weapons, went through the motions of playing football.

The next season practically the same squad, now under Peden. went back to meet the same Ohio Wesley- an squad. No neutral critic would have said we had a chance. It was the last game of the season, and the program of the day. ignoring this 1,'ame, lamented the fact that Ohio Wesleyan and Obcrlin would each

end its season in the Ohio Conference undefeated and would have to share the championship honors.

But while it was practically the same squad that vent from here to Delaware, it was a very different team. It w-as made up of men who believed in themselves and in their team. They believed they knew how to stop that tncky Wesleyan offense, they believed they could bore through the tough defense. To every one else on the field it v.as quite clear that Ohio Wesleyan was the better team. Only to the boys in the green jerseys was the fact unclear. They did not know it, and it would not have been quite safe to have sug- gested it to any of them. From the kick-off they tore in with a magnifi- cent spirit that stopped their op- ponents cold. Before the first quarter ended, we had scored. At the end of the game an utterly demoralired Ohio Wesleyan team, backed up al- most to their own goal line, were fighting, not so much with stime last hope of winning as with desperate determination to keep us from scor- ing again.

The difference between the team of "23 and the one of "24 was not in the personnel of the squads; the differ- ence was Don Peden.

The young coach developed rapid- ly, and the technique improved. But the fundamentals remained un- changed. His teams in baseball and football were well taught on funda- mentals. Physical laziness he would not tolerate; with mental laziness he could be cruel. He never tried to fit a squad to a system. He studied his material and devised systems that would best employ the abilities avail- able. He never employed a ""star"' system. A Peden team was not a little group of prima donnas with a supporting cast. It was always a team.

He studied individual players, so as to apply to each the treatment which would yield the best results. The treatment went beyond the play- ing field and outside the area of sports. Many a boy in the twenty- six years has gone to Peden in need of counseling on personal problems. Al- ways the boy found a sympathetic listener, ready to give the problem careful study and to offer wnse guid- ance.

In those private sessions and in the example which he showed at all times on the field, proving that it is possible to combine a magnificent competitive spirit with the code of the gentleman, Don Peden has been more than a great builder of teams. He has been a builder of men.

A RECORD graduating class is in prospect for 1950 with J41 can- didates currently approved for the February 4 Commencement and 757 applications already reported by Registrar Mahn for June. The latter figure is expected to exceed 800 when all applications are in, compared with 734 in June, 1949.

The February group compares with 256 in February, 1949. Previously, the February high was 148 in 194 J.

The February Commencement speaker will be Howard Mumford Jones, noted author and educator. Dr. Jones has been professor of English at Harvard since 1936 and was dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Harvard in 1943-44.

The February list of 341 candi- dates, 281 men and 60 women, shows 39 from the College of Applied Science, 76 from the College of Arts and Sciences, 119 from the College of Commerce, 62 from the College of Education, 26 from the College of Fine Arts, and 16 from the Gradu- ate College. Of the total, three candidates will receive two-year di- plomas in elective studies from the University College.

"D EGISTRATION PLANS are set -»-^ up for an orderly transition in- to the second half of the 1949-50 academic year, with on-campus and branches enrollment expected to keep the total figure crowding the 6,000 mark.

The record 341 candidates for Feb- ruary graduation will reduce the pre- sent on-campus figure, but Director Albert C. Gubitz expects no re- duction in the present branches en- rollment of 812.

The semester opens on-campus February 6, with counseling, advis- ing, and registration scheduled for that week.

The branches will get off to a slightly earlier start. The director of admissions, registrar, and representa- tives of the treasurer's office and the Veterans Administration, as well as faculty members, will be at Zanesville January 30, Chilhcothe, February 1, and Portsmouth February 3.

WHILE THIS generation is the first to have the means of ending civilization, it is not the first age that has thought it was at the "end of the rope," Dr. Irwin Edman, professor of philosophy at Columbia University, told students and faculty at a recent convocation.

sophy as a way of

gaining a perspective of means and

Dr. Edman also gave the annual lecture on good teaching. Choosing as his topic "The College Teacher as Humanist," the lecturer told Ohio University teachers that all college teachers must be "humanists." He termed teaching an "art of two things — communications and con- tagion," and declared that the college teacher is in a position which carries great possibilities and an equally great challenge.

OHIO UNIVERSITY chapter of Phi Beta Kappa initiated 18 seniors and 5 graduates prior to the Christmas holidays.

Initiated at the Faculty Club, with Dr. Paul Murphy, assistant professor of classical languages, as the guest speaker, were undergraduates Rich- ard Barton, Jefferson; Betty Bascom, Youngstown; Peter Bauer, Cincin- nati; John Bode, Chesterhill; Jean- nette Gescy, Cleveland; Robert Hamill, Youngstown; Paul Henlein, Norwood; Janet Ingerham, Athens; Gilbert Layne, Steubenville; Robert Leonard, Wellston; Harry Logston, East Liverpool; Elizabeth Manwell, Lyndhurst; Lloyd Moore, Magnetic Springs; John Pierce, Carroll; Robert Pierre, Athens; Charles Weise, Bridgeville, Pa.; Richard Wheeler, Cincinnati; Stanley Yates, Cleveland.

Graduates who received their de- grees in June or August, named to the honor group are James Allen, West Alexandria; Charles Leach, Barnesville (now at Ohio State Uni- versity graduate school) ; Richard Sovish, Cleveland (with the Harshaw Chemical Co., Cleveland) ; Paul Ward, Zanesville; Robert Oster- young, Cleveland (now studying at the University of Illinois).

STATE Highway Patrolmen and Athens doctors recently teamed up to save the life of a Cleveland fresh- man.

When admitted to Sheltering Arms Hospital December 5 with a ruptured spleen, following an in- fection, Marie Caputo required special blood transfusions. State Highway Patrolmen, working in re- lays, rushed blood from Columbus to

the hospital, .i Jist.mcc of some 80 miles, in little over an hour. When she was released from the hospital before Christmas, Miss Caputo's con- dition was described as "very tjood."

SPECIFICATIONS and designs )iir the new hand uniforms have been sent to manufacturers for bid- ding, and present plans call for the introduction of the new uniforms when the Symphonic Band gives its annual Spring Concert in April.

Director of Bands Charles E. Gil- bert praised highly the individual and group cooperation, on and off the campus, which has made the new uni- forms possible.

He reported that the record-albums of Ohio University songs have gross- ed over $2,500 and that the sale of the albums, carrying Ohio songs done by the Band and Glee Club, is "still going merrily along."

The Varsity Night Show, staged by the Band and the Fine Arts Council, netted over $1,000, with two-thirds going to the Uniform Fund.

Currently, the Ohio University Fund. Inc., has received from alumni $164 earmarked for the Band Uni- form Fund.

A recent $1,000 contribution from the Board of Athletic Control virtu- ally guaranteed delivery of at least S^ uniforms to outfit the Symphonic Band this spring. Director Gilbert is confident continued sales of the recordings and other sources will pro- vide funds to field a newly-uniformed 105 -piece Marching Band in the fall. Early estimates set $7,000 as the amount needed.

The Symphonic Band will play at the lyiO June Commencement and will also give a special Commence- ment Concert in Commencement Week. Director Gilbert said.

A RARE TIBETAN tapestry, or more exactly, a hanging scroll painting, has been given to the uni- versity by Miss Melvia L. Danielson, .1 former member of the School ot Music faculty.

Miss Danielson, an associate pro- tesst)r of school music, resigned in 1948 after 21 years at Ohio Univer- sity. She now lives in Minneapolis, Minn.

The gift, a Buddhist prayer scroll some 250 years old, was given to Miss Danielson by an American missionary to China. It is believed to be one of the finest examples of this kind of

Fund Awards Winners Report

The eight recipients of the 1949 Ohio University Fund Scholarship Awards reported interesting and profitable experiences from their visits to plants and laboratories in the fields of their major interests made possible by the Fund Awards.

The awards are presented annually to outstanding seniors by the Ohio University Fund, Inc., in the interest of better scholarship at the univer- sity. They were first presented in 1947. The winners are not selected on the basis of high grades alone. In the words of the Committee on Encouragement of Scholarship, which makes the selections from nominations by teachers, "the test of real scholar- ship is the display of intellectual curiosity and an eagerness to go beyond the routine of classroom work."

The 1949 winners were Paul Bashford. Athens; Michael Dodak, Lakewood; Wilmer S. Goff, Steuben- ville: Kathryn Gottshall, Alliance; Eleanor Morgan, Ironton; Robert D. Peel, Newark; Bernard H. Osterhage, Lancaster; Donald H. Schuster, Belle- vue.

Mr. Bashford, now research engi- neer, graphic arts, for the McBee Co. in Athens, visited the R. R. Donnely Printing Co. in Chicago, printers of Time, Life and Fortwne for the Chicago region. Sears and Ward's

catalogues, and numerous major trade journals. Mr. Bashford was a mathe- matics major.

Mr. Dodak, engineering major, and Mr. Schuster, physics, visited the General Electric plant at Syra- cuse, N. Y., and the Bell laboratories at Murray Hill, N. J. Mr. Dodak is now a graduate assistant working on his master's degree at Stanford University. Mr. Schuster, who re- ceived a National Research Council Fellowship, is studying for his doctorate in biophysics at the Univer- sity of Minnesota.

Miss Gottshall and Miss Morgan remained at their alma mater for graduate work. The former, a grad- uate assistant in the School of Drama- tic Art and Speech, used her Fund Award to attend a speech education conference at Pennsylvania State College. At the conference. Miss Gottshall, who is majoring in speech correction, was enabled to participate in lectures and discussions given or led by leading authorities in her field.

Miss Morgan, a graduate assistant in botany, visited the Shaw School of Botany at Washington University in St. Louis. Her tour of the schools laboratories and 75 -acre botanical gardens was personally conducted by the school's Dr. Henry N. Andrews. She also visited the famed St. Louis Zoological Gardens.

Mr. Osterhage and Mr. Peel, with major interests in botany and agricul- ture, respectively, visited the U. S. Department of Agriculture Experi- mental Station at Beltsville, Md. Es- corted by station personnel, they made a three-day tour through all divisions of the station.

Mr. Osterhage is now at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin working toward a Ph.D. in plant pathology, under the guidance of Dr. A. J. Riker, internationally known plant patholo- gist. After graduation, Mr. Peel joined his father and brother in the operation of their large farm near Newark.

Mr. Goff, a photography major, has not completed plans for using his award. He recently joined Art Bean, '49, on the photography staff of The Columbus Dispatch.

which promise to be highly significant in scientific thinking about dementia praecox — the nation's most prevalent type of insanity. The research was conducted in conjunction with Dr. James W. Papez, of Cornell Univer- sity, over a period of three years.

In essence, the researchers found that the disease is caused by abnormal growth within the brain nerve cells. This abnormal growth was found to be protein bodies never before des- cribed in the brain nerve cells of dementia praecox patients. The more protein bodies, the more the patient was deranged. Dr. Bateman said. He described three stages in the destruc- tion of the nerve cells, each stage corresponding to a growth in de- rangement and in the number of pro- tein inclusions.

Discovery that dementia praecox. which accounts for ^2 per cent of all

patients in United States mental hospitals, is not caused by environ- ment or abnormal conditions at birth may revolutionise scientific thinking on the disease. Dr. Bateman said.

Although explaining that their con- clusions must be further tested with additional research. Dr. Bateman said that "we feel definitely that we are advancing in the direction of dis- covering beyond any question certain metabolic changes in the nerve cell which will prove to be causative factors in some of our most common types of mental disease."

The study was made on the first living brain cells ever used in research on dementia praecox. The specimens were obtained from 70 patients on which brain operations were per- formed as curative measures. The pro- tein bodies, brought to light by a (Continued on page 1.^)

First Campus FM in Ohio

WOUI Officially Aired

The first building of the first university in the North- west Territory was the seene of the first licensed broad- cast by a college-operated FM radio station in Ohio December 1 3 when a special program originating from the president's office in Cutler Hall launched regular programming by Ohio University's WOUI.

Featuring the initial official program was a talk by Theodore Streihcrt, president of Station WOR in New York City and vice chairman of the executive hoard of directors of the Mutual Broadcasting System.

Mr. Streibert was a guest of the university for the opening of the station and also guest-lectured several radio classes. He praised highly the university's program in instruction for radio careers and the wt)rk of the radio students.

The new station, hcensed by the Federal Communica' tions Commission for educational purposes, has been undergoing programming tests for several weeks, includ- ing broadcasts of away-from-home football games, home basketball games, and several student-directed and pro- duced programs.

Prof. Vincent Jukes, '.iO, associate professor of dramatic art and speech, was master of ceremonies for the first official program, which included talks by Mr. Streibert. President Baker. Trustee Gordon K. Bush, '24, Dr. Earl C. Seigfred, dean of the College of Fine Arts, Dr. Claude E. Kantner. director of the School of Dra- matic Art and Speech, and William R. Mnich. senior from Cleveland, who is station manager. Professor Jukes is faculty supervisor of the station.

Mr. Sireibert (riliht) and Stuuent.s . praise for university and students

Present equipment and studio facilities are housed in a campus quonset hut, which also houses the univer- sity's wired radio WOUN, but new quarters are planned tor both stations in the new Fine Arts Building now under construction.

The initial broadcast period included segments of various programs to be aired regularly in the future, culminating with a request program from ll.H p.m. to midnight. The regular broadcast schedule will be from noon to 1 p.m. and from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, noon hour on Fridays, and special broadcasts of all home athletic games and other special events. WOUI operates at 8S.1 megacycles.

Both WOUI and the wired WOUN serve as labor- atories for radio students, who carry out all production and directing duties as part of their work, airing short plays, news and sports, requests and many special events. (Continued on page l.i)

SPORTS at Ohio University are in the Christmas Holiday lull as this is written. The big recent de- velopment in the local sports picture is, of course, the retirement of Don C. Peden and the appointment of Carroll C. Widdoes, head football coach since last March, as director of athletics and director of the depart- ment of physical education. The ap- pointment, effective January 1, was announced by President Baker De- cember 16.

Peden retired after 26 years as- sociation with the university as foot- ball coach and director of athletics and physical education.

The Widdoes appointment means that for the first time since early 1947 the athletic director also will be head football coach, a dual post held by Peden from 1937 until his resig- nation as football coach in 1947.

In his first year as coach of the Bobcat gridders, Widdoes marked up four wins, four losses, and one tie.

At a banquet co-honoring himself and W. J. "Dutch" Trautwein last month, Peden paid tribute to his successor with the statement that the university's athletic fortunes are in good hands.

"Dutch " Trautwein, who resigned as head basketball coach several weeks ago on his doctor's orders, will con- tinue as associate director of athletics.

THE BOBCAT basketball story isn't a pleasant one, but neither is it a tale of complete gloom. Barely discernible, perhaps, but there never- theless, rimming the dark cloud pre- sently covering Ohio University cage hopes, is the proverbial silver lining.

The dark cloud — three losses in four starts, as hostilities ceased for the Christmas Holiday.

A 57 to 40 stinging by Marietta's Pioneers started the season. Then, giving their followers a promise of better things to come, the Bobcats gallantly smote the invading Bishops of Ohio Wesleyan 74 to 56. Then a two-day stand in Northeastern Ohio, December 1 7 and 1 9, saw the Bobcats outscored twice, a 52 to 39 loss to the precisionists of Mount Union and a 70 to 57 defeat by Kent State's sharpshooters.

The silver lining — the hope-build- ing factors that don't show in the

scorer's book. In the scorer's book the Bobcats haven't been impressive, but the whole story isn't to be found there. Not showing, for instance, is the terrific try that has been a part of all the Bobcats' efforts so far. Not evidenced by the record is the fact that quite often Coach Jimmy Snyder, '41, has five sophomores on the floor, and always three or four of the first-year varsity men are in the Bobcat Imeup.

The won and lost figures don't show that somewhere in the dozen or so top-notch basketeer prospects of Coach Snyder there is a happy com- bination which observers feel is bound to click in the not-too-distant future.

Their inexperience has been the Bobcats' major weakness to date. They haven't shown the coolness under pressure that is necessary to hold slim leads, coolness that is gained from combat. In their shooting from the floor and from the free-throw line the Bobcats have marked up a respectable percentage of hits.

Coach Snyder, in his initial year as head coach, has substituted liber- ally, with the box score of each game listing ten or more names. It's tough at this point to try to single out any one or two or three individuals as stars of the current squad. Guard Glen Hursey, from Glenford, is showing plenty of promise of living up to the bright basketball future forecast for him. Other sophomo'"cs accounting for that silver-lining men- tioned above are Elwood Sparks,

Long eminent in his field, Dr. Bate- man was named head of the Colum- bus State Hospital in 1937. He was given a leave of absence to become State Commissioner of Mental Dis- eases in 1938.

Explaining that he preferred being "nearer the practical, rather than the administrative, side" of his work, he resigned in 1940 and returned to the hospital position. From 1927 to 1934, he was assistant superintendent and clinical director at the Lxmgview Hospital in Cincinnati.

As an undergraduate at Ohio Uni- versity, Dr. Bateman w'as an assistant to Prof. F. B. Gullum in chemistry. He attended the medical colleges of Cincinnati and Cornell and also taught at Cornell two years. He also did postgraduate work at Northwest- ern University.

FINE ARTS BUILDING

(Continued trom page 11)

A three-story with basement struc- ture, the Fine Arts Building will be of Colonial-style design, including a tower, to fit in with the architectural scheme of recent university construc- tion and renovation. It will front on College St. and be constructed of brick and reinforced concrete.

The basement will house stage equipment, dressing rooms, mechani- cal equipment, and provide quarters for the university's radio stations WOUN, the campus-wide station, and WOUI, the recently launched FM station.

The first floor of the building, with emphasis on the dramatic arts, will provide for a main stage and auditonum, the latter seating 300. Plans also call for a rehearsal stage and a smaller auditonum. The rest of the first fliwr will be used up by a lobby, offices, and classrooms.

On the second floor, the speech de- partment will be provided with speech cubicles for clinical work, re- cording rcx)ms, classrooms, and offices. The upper part of the stages and auditoriums will extend through the second and third floors. The class- rooms and offices scheme will be re- peated on the third floor surrounding the well of the theater.

ARTS AND SCIENCES (Continued from page 4) count is taken of the fact that the democratic way of life as understood in America is being challenged by various "isms," some falsely claim- ing to be the true democracy, and a serious effort is made to develop in the student a sound appreciation of the traditional Amer- ican belief in the worth of the in- dividual, and of liberty and justice for all. Four, in recognition of the fact that the most acute problems of society today exist in the area of human relations — in the family, school, church, industry, labor organ- izations, government, and between races and nations — and that new- knowledge and techniques in human relations are required to resolve these conflicts, several courses in psychology and in the Department of Human Relations have been developed. The case methcxl of instruction h;is been introduced to supplement the usual lecture-discussion procedure.

The College of Arts and Sciences remains today, as in the past, a service college to the entire university. Its courses are open to the students of other colleges, and its students are free to elect courses in other col- leges. Its faculty of 112 members gives instruction in 581 courses to the S>0 students enrolled in the col- lege, as well as to the several thousand students who are enrolled in the other colleges. The Bachelor of Arts degree, first offered in 1815, continues to be the favored degree. The Bache- lor of Science degree has been offered since 1877, and the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry degree has been offered since 1943.

WOUN OFFICIALLY AIRED (Ciintinucd trom p.igc 11) The stations serve the schools of dramatic art and speech, journalism, music, and the department of engi- neering. Dr. D. B. Green of the latter department was in charge of the in- stallation of the $2,000 worth of FM equipment placed in the station last summer.

Instruction in radio was started at Ohio University in 1938, with five students enrolled in a radio play pro- duction class under Professor Jukes. Today there arc 50 students enrolled in the play production class, with 2>S students taking the 11 radio courses now offered by a faculty of five. Radio also offers a major cur- riculum for master degree candidates. In the College of Fine Arts 41 stu-

DANIEL LINDLEY BIOGRAPHY COMES OFF LONDON PRESS

A book of interest to Ohio Uni- versity was recently published by the Epworth Press in London.

"The Life and Times of Daniel Lindley," by Edwin W. Smith, is an interesting and thorough account of an inspirational and full life. The Daniel Lindley the book deals with is, of course, the Daniel Lindley of early Ohio University history, son of Jacob Lindley, who, at the recom- mendation of Rufus Putnam, was named to head the infant university in 1808.

Daniel was graduated from the university in 1824, and in 1860 it conferred upon him, in apt apprecia- tion of an illustrious career of one of its sons, the degree of Doctor of Divinity.

Biographer Smith deals principally with the mature life and times of Daniel Lindley, missionary to South Africa. Even so, the relatively few pages he devotes to the early years and background of his hero must be given more than incidental import- ance. The formative, molding years of Daniel Lindley, years spent in frontier Athens and under the in- fluence of the academic pioneers of the university, must have played their part in determining the complete and admirable Daniel Lindley of maturity.

As a missionary to the natives of South Africa and, for an intenm period, as a pastor to the Boers, he gained an esteem that has been last- ing. Lindley is credited with being the founder of the Dutch Reformed Church in Natal, Orange Free State, and Transvaal. A town in the Orange Free State bears his name. South African Airlines named one of its planes "Daniel Lindley" in line with its policy of christening its ships in honor of great personages of South African histor>'.

Among people who were interested in what he was doing and "were more than anxious to help," the author, an Englishman born in Si^uth Africa, named Prof. Thomas N. Hoover, retired professor of history' at Ohio University, whom he inter- viewed and who gave him material when he visited Athens in 1941.

A copy of the book has been placed in the Edwin Watts Chubb Library by Anna Pearl McVay, '92, of near Athens, a Lindley descendant.

Mrs. Bette Parge Gober, '41, is the club's current president.

Cincinnati Bobcats

The beautiful Rookwood Room of the Hotel Sinton was the scene, Dec- ember 6, of a dinner and reception tor President Baker of the university. Ohio University women of the Cin- cinnati area joined the men of the Bobcat Club for this delightful affair. The toastmaster for the dinner pro- gram was Edward B. Wright, '?S, club president. Among the special guests were T. J. Davis, prominent Cincinnati banker and O.U. trustee, and Mrs. Davis.

Enthusiasm was expressed by the ladies present for a re-establishment of the Ohio University Women's Club that ceased activities during the war years.

President Baker was accompanied bv Dr. Rush Elliott, '24, chairman of Ohio University's department of Zoology.

Conflicting engagements involving Several key members of the group resulted in a relatively small attend- ance of the meeting of Indianapolis alumni on November 1 1 . An Arm- istice Day suspension of mail delivery resulted in failure of a reel of campus movies to arrive in time for program purposes, thus adding to the distress of officers of the Hoosier chapter.

Plans for a get-together on Febru- ary 4, when the Ohio U. Bobcats will be in the Indiana capital for a basketball game with the fast-stepping Butler five, are in the making.

Mrs. Juanita Dillow Compton, '36, is acting president, and Mrs. Betty Ong Jordan, '34, secretary, of the Indianapolisians.
