pDipMhC As these words are written fairly I niLnl/J definite election returns indicate that Thomas J. Herbert will become the next governor of Ohio, succeeding Frank J. Lausche.

Ohio University alumni have been pleased with the sincere interest taken in higher educa- tion by Governor Lausche, an interest that has worked in equal fashion to the advantage of their alma mater and to that of the other tax-supported universities of the state.

No less a friend of higher education will be the new governor, Mr. Herbert. Two sisters and a niece of the governor-elect hold degrees from Ohio University, while a second niece was in attendance here for two years. It is not for a minute expected that these ties will mean favored treatment for Ohio University or that university authorities will presume to ask for special con- sideration on account of them. We may feel assured, however, that a man who is college trained, himself, and the members of whose family have enjoyed state-provided educational opportunities, will give a sympathetic hearing to all reasonable requests that are directed to him by the state universities.

niWp -Not W/iat You Give, But That YOU '^' ' '- Give" is the slogan that appears at the top of a printed appeal currently being made to alumni for contributions to the Ohio University Fund, Inc. After pointing out what the gifts will mean and how the Fund directors will use them the folder ends with the statement of a belief that givers will experience a "real feeling of satis- faction" out of helping to create a "greater" Ohio Uni- =^^=:^= versity. To all of which the editor adds his personal word of endorsement.

SHAME

In a general let- ter sent out to alumni last month over the name of the Alumni Secre- tary some of the things that Ohio University is doing and has done in behalf of war veterans were mentioned. Mentioned Vi'ith pride, inci- dentally.

Imagine the secretary's surprise, therefore, to receive the following letter from an alumna in the Eastern part of the country. The lady graduated quite a number of years ago, and, from her at- titude, it can easily be guessed that she had no sons

in the armed forces. The letter is reproduced in its entirety.

Dear Sir:

1 have your letter of October 10th and 1 am writing to say that it leaves me quite unmoved. This hectic sending of a group of people to college after a war means that a lot will ge give^i an education at the expense of many li\e myself who are already finding taxes unbearable, and who will not be an asset to the country b:it should be returning to farms and indiistrv.

There is one of these postwar educational mills set up where I hear comments of fol\s who can observe the students . They are vulgar, untidv m their habits and insolent m their manners.

Until the colleges can prove they are turn- ing out a fme charactered human product I am not interested in a!di7-ig general appeals.

Very truly yours.

As reported in previous issues of The Alumnus the veteran -students are among the finest of our campus citizens here at Ohio Uni- versity. Official records show that the all-veteran scholastic average last year was higher than the all-university average, and members of the fac- ulty have frequently declared that the veterans are among their most courteous, cooperative, and earnest students. From what we have read and heard it would seem that the facts are the same in colleges and universities generally. Sure, there are a few loafers and ne'er-do-wells among the veterans. But who can't re- member classmates of prewar days to whom the terms could be applied with equal validity.

By Ralph Stone Smith Director of Publicity. Ohio University

TF THE Rev. Dr. Manassch Cutler, J- one of CA\\o University's founders, eould return to the campus today he would no doubt he pleased Vi'ith the restoration, now under way, ot the building named in his honor.

Cutler Hall, the oldest college edi- fice in the Northwest Territory, will be restored to its early American style of architecture at a cost of $147,000, more than eight tmies the original cost of the building.

When It was built in 1816, the whole structure cost but $17,806, and Benjamin Corp of Marietta was paid only six dollars for serving as assistant architect.

The exterior of the 1. ^0-year-old hall will be restored to its original appearance and dimensions, as de- signed in 1812 by General Rufus Putnam, another of the college's founders and a Revolutionary War hero. Even the roof gable will be lowered to its first position, having been raised approximately three feet when the building was remodeled in 1882.

Renovation of Cutler Hall, con- demned ten years ago for classroom use, has been planned for several years. Legislation appropriating funds for the project was passed during the general assembly at Columbus in the spring and the Civilian Production

Administration granted approval ot the work in May.

The interior of the building will be completely revamped, with re- enforccd concrete floors replacing the wooden ones, and new windows, dtx)rs, and an elevator being added. Up-to-date heating, lighting and plumbing wnW be installed.

The plan for a university to be built on land purchased in 1787 was said to have been a favorite with Dr. Cutler, and he prepared with great care the charter which gave the first-born college of the West its start.

A physician and botanist as well as a minister. Dr. Cutler was the first person to examine the flora of New England extensively, classifying over .■^00 plants. In 1795 he was offered a commission as judge of the Supreme Court of the Ohio Territory, which he declined.

President John C. Baker has indi- cated that the two objectives in re- modeling Cutler Hall are to restore it as nearly as possible to its original exterior appearance and to provide offices for the president and adminis- trative officers and several seminar classrooms.

Administrative officers formerly lo- cated in Cutler Hall have been forced to vacate during the restoration per- iod, expected to last well into the

GENER.\L DWIGHT DaVID EISEN- HOWER received the American Alumni Council's second annual Award of Merit during an impressive ceremony at Amherst College on July 11.

The presentation of the award, an illuminated scroll in a red morocco cover, was made by Dr. J. Maryon Saunders, president of the Council and alumni secretary of the Univer- sity of North Carolina.

President Saunders" address and General Eisenhower's formal accept- ance were both broadcast by the National Broadcasting Company.

"Today is a happy occasion for the American Alumni Council," Presi- dent Saunders said. "In this national organisation are some 500 alumni association executives, alumni maga- zine editors, and alumni fund directors. We are gathered together in time of peace to present an award won in time of war.

"More than 18 months ago, the colleges and universities of this country were invited to make nomi- nations for the Council's annual Award of Merit. Announcement of the award specified that the alumnus- of-the-year must have achieved emi- nence in his or her chosen field of endeavor, must have made worthy contribution beyond the demands of his own profession, and must have evidenced a concern for the spiritual and moral welfare of his community.

"A year ago the recipient for 194i was chosen. The actual ceremony of presentation was delayed because the man selected was then engaged in operations overseas. He has graciously and courteously come here today as our guest, thus honoring by his pres- ence the more than seven and a half million living former students of American colleges and universities.

"It is my privilege now, on behalf of the American Alumni Council, to present to General of the Armies Dwight D. Eisenhower, graduate in 191 > of the United States Military Academy, the American Alumni Council Award of Merit."

Acceptance of Award

In his acceptance address. General Eisenhower said, in part :

"There is for me an understandable pride in the privilege of representing

before this distinguished body those millions of fighting men to whom your generous expressions really ap- ply. Yet the services for which I am being so signally commended by the American Alumni Council involved circumstances which we are determ- ined shall never re-appear upon this earth.

"Toil, sacrifice, and death had once again to provide a shield for democ- racy against the murderous assault of dictatorships reaching for world do- main. War, in unprecedented scope and destructiveness, swept over great portions of the earth's productive centers, leaving in its wake broken

The American Alumni Council is made up of alumni secretaries, magazine editors, and fund directors of 364 American and Cana- dian colleges and universities.

The 31st National Conference of the A.A.C. was held at Amherst, Mass., July 10- 13. One of the highlights of the conference was the presentation to General of the Armies Dwight D. Eisenhower, Chief of Staff, U. S. Army, of the Council's Award of Merit for 1945 and his acceptance of it.

Shown in the picture of the presentation (see opposite page) are one of the two major generals who accompanied the army head. General Eisenhower, President Saund- ers, and Kenney L. Ford, alumni secretary at Kansas State College.

General Eisenhower is the second recipient of the Award of Merit. The 1944 award went to Madame Chiang Kai-shek, a grad- uate of Wclleslcy College. The presentation was made in Chicago to Dr. Wei Tao-mlng, Chinese ambassador to the United States, and accepted by the Chinese first lady in a response by shortwave from Chungking.

economies, governmental chaos, and starving millions.

"Conflagration brings the need for clearing away wreckage before con- structive work can begin anew. Our own country is now engaged in this process both at home and abroad. Here we are reconverting industry from the demands of war to those of peace . . . Abroad, we, with other nations, arc engaged in rescuing the persecuted, feeding the hungry, re- establishing order and encouraging peoples to adopt democratic process- es ... I firmly believe that an in- dispensable factor in the problem :s

an awareness by every American that he, personally, and the democracy of which he is a part, are living in a decade of test before the world."

General Eisenhower called upon the American people to understand the necessity for a substantial Army to perform the duties of occupation in Germany and Japan. Nothing, he said, would encourage recalcitrance or open rebellion in occupied terri- tories so much as an indication of American weakness.

The General also emphasized the importance of absorbing into the country's productive life the millions of men and women who served in the armed forces.

"Just as the military developed the leadership to utilize these qualities of our youth in battle," he said, "so now must you, and others like you, pro- duce the pattern of leadership that will best employ them in peace."

General Eisenhower said that it was his firm conviction that peace and tranquility could not come to one nation unless it was achieved by all, that every nation was neighbor to all mankind. He said that we must not only have teamwork at home, we must have international teamwork.

Our nation, he said, is the greatest product of democracy, and it must be to all men "a shining example of what democracy can accomplish — a worthy champion of right and justice and freedom throughout the world."

"Every cooperate effort in the com- munity, the nation, the world," he concluded, "demands sacrifice of some sort from every individual. But patriotism is the expression of the will to sacrifice. In the school and home and church, in every agency concerned with the training of youth, stress must be laid on the develop- ment and amplification of this virtue, so that cooperation, possible only where a common bond unites men, may become the watchword of our social, economic and national life.

"Here is the great task for every man who by training or occupation finds himself in a position of leader- ship. To help produce, foster, and sustain this unity of purpose and action — to promote clear understand- ing of the relationships between this domestic unity and the future peace of the world — are, I submit, tasks peculiarly appropriate to Alumni

THE EISENHOWER CITATION

This award is made liv (lie duly constituted re[)resemation of more than seven and a half miUuni gradu- ates and former students of Ameri- can iniii'<f«ities and colleges m thankful dpprecmtioii for the noble service he has so consf)icuoiisl\ rend- ered to his country and to the liberty- loving nations of the world bv lead- ing the armies of free men to t'lctorv, for emancipation of the enslaved; and for the raising of a foundation upon which nations may build an inter- national instrument for the preserva- tion of peace.

He has wielded his great authority with Imnulitv; lie has demonstrated his profound faith m democracy bv the confidence which he has placed in a free press; he has earned the admir- ation of a gratefid nation through his chivalrous spirit in accepting honor solely as the representative of those who fought luider his command.

We salute General Dwight David Eisenhower as a victorious soldier; we revere him as a truly great American.

Associations. As in all mass effort.-, leadership is an essential ingredient; leadership in all walks of life, in every type of activity. No other is better suited to its exacting and im- portant requirements than the gradu- ate of the American college. There can be no worthier purpose nor any more glowing reward than an entire world — peaceful, tranquil, pros- perous! The alternative will not v.ait, the time to attack is now."

Informal Remarks

Following the reading of his tormal acceptance. General Eisenhower de- lighted his audience by putting down the prepared address, grinning tl> famous Eisenhower grin, and saying

"Now rd like to talk to von people."

He prefaced his informal remarks by saying that the funny thing about a war is that after it is won it looks so easy.

He explained th.it it isn't reason able to criticize a military leader long after a battle has been won or lost The factors which must be considered by a military commander in making grave and immediate decisions on the field of battle cannot possibly be weighed with the proper perspective after the war is over. Many of the fac*'irs which seem obvious even to the 'ayman are based on informatitm

not available to a military leader when his vital decision must be made.

He illustrated his point with Gen- eral Robert E. Lee's decision which brought about Pickett's charge in the Battle of Gettysburg — a military ca- t.istrophe which has never been justi- fied by students of military strategy, and yet. General Lee is recognized by all military authorities as one of the world's greatest generals.

General Eisenhower talked about his ideas of the purposes of educa- tion— saying, in part, that although it has been proved on dramatic occasions like Pearl Harbor that the American people can be united by fear and anger, they need to be edu- cated for unity resulting from more constructive promptings than fear.

He urged colleges in America to sponsor the study of other govern- ments so that we can supplant fear with understanding. By acquainting its students with the workings of other governments and other nations, knowledge will be substituted for fear and suspicion. This, he said, would be a gigantic step toward the alxilition of wa.T. He asserted that, regardless of whether nuclear fission weapons and bacteriological warfare would be used, the world cannot stand another war.

General Eisenhower asked his aud- ience if there were any questions. President Saunders responded by ask- ing the General to give some of the background information regarding the events which led up to his momentous decision to initiate the Normand\- in- vasion.

General Ike replied that it was often the apparently minor decisions

of war that were hardest to make. He said that actually the decision to cross the Channel was easy because most of the important factors were known. He pointed out that the North African invasion contained the greater number of unknown factors and was, therefore, the most haz- ardous undertaking of the war.

The General credited two Scotch meteorologists with really making the grave decision which was to send our armies into France. These men, he said, kept the expedition from head- ing into a spell of terrible weather even though the skies over England were sunny. Later, they gave the go-ahead signal in almost stormy weather because they had spotted in the area of the Azores the promise of thirty-six hours of clearness. General Eisenhower said that German meteor- ologists had missed the "good spot" in the Azores and had informed the German high command that no im- mediate invasion could be expected after June 4.

Tells Story On Self

To A. AC. officers at the speakers table the famous general, with typical self-effacement and evident glee, told this story.

At the Abilene, Kansas, Victory Celebration, given shortly after his triumphant return from Europe, he had the great pleasure of seeing his mother as well as his four successful brothers. At the reception a reporter made this somewhat trite remark to Mother Eisenhower: "Well, Mrs. Eisenhower, aren't you proud of your son^" And she replied: "Which one? "

WHEN an appropriation made by the Campus Affairs Com- mittee for the "Migration Day" trip of the Ohio University Band to Dela- ware on November 2 proved to be in- adequate for meals for the 127 bands- men (see cut), band officers initiated a drive to secure the needed funds. An appeal to Athens alumni, mer- chants, and organizations soon netted enough to cover the likely deficit. Just how much the band con- tributed to the Bobcats' smashing 49-7 victory ov- er Wesleyan's "Battling Bishops" cannot be esti- mated, but the fact that the players tooted and thumped on full stomachs undoubtedly means that there was extra vim, vigor. and inspiration in their music.

OHIO UNIVERSITY women not affiliated with Greek-letter sororities now have an organization of their own — the Womens Independent Association. The aims of the new organization are to promote the general welfare and well being of independent women on the campus and to provide an ade- quate recreational, social and educa- tional program. President of the W.I.A. is Rosanne Talley, Chilli- cothe. a senior, while Mrs. Henri S. Rigo (Dorothy McClure, "42), dietitian at the Men's Dorm, is adviser for the organization.

IS nothing wrong with Ohio schools that money can't cure," Walton B. Bliss, executive secretary of the Ohio Edu- cation Association, told 2,000 South- eastern Ohio Education Association members at their annual fall meeting in Alumni Memorial Auditorium on October 2i. He pointed out that ^i.OOO teachers in Ohio are still op- erating on certificates and that their failure to secure degrees is attribut- able to low salaries. The average sal- ary for grade school teachers in 11 southeastern Ohio counties is $1300 per year, and the average for high schixil teachers, $1770. Dean Emeri- tus Thomas C. McCracken was presi- dent of the S.O.E.A. and presided over the opening session. The new president is N. B. Potts, assistant superintendent of the Scioto County schools. W. A.

lumhvis ill September, Dean Ev>in R. Collins ot the College ot' Edueation Jeelared that "the basic skills and knowledge the armed forces seek are best taught in our schools," and that edue.ition is .m alternative to peace- time military conscription. Admitting that there arc certain "deficiencies" in the public school program which the services have pointed out. Dean Collins urged social and financial sup- port to remedy them. Physical fit- ness, basic technical knowledge and skills, adaptibility to group living, and orientation in world citiiCnship are four of the main objectives the armed forces have sought for the year of inilit.iry training, the Ohio dean ex- plained. "We believe training and education in each of these fields can better be given in schools than in the services, and we think that this educa- tion is the proper business of any school to give to its students,"' Dean Collins emphasized.

PLANS HAVE been completed for the reorganization of the Pershing Rifles, national honorary society for ROTC cadets taking the basic course. The local organization became in- active during the war.

OHIO L'NIVERSITYS veterans have their targets fi.xed and their eyes glued to them. In other words they know why they came to the campus and what they want out of their stay here. A survey recently completed by Veterans Co-ord:nator

Victor Whitehouse reveals that six out of seven of the 3112 former service men have definite educational and vocati(;nal objectives. This is all the more remarkable because nearly two-thirds of them are freshmen. A spot check of the 2477 non-veteran students showed that less than three out of four in that group had chosen a career. The figures include both the on-campus enrollment and the stu- dents in the three branches. More than half, 17i2, of the Ohio Uni- versity veterans saw combat duty. Of the total number of service men, 1212 were in the Army, 1082 in the Navy, Sfn in the Army Air Corps, 12.> in the Marine Corps, and .^4 in the Coast Guard. The women veterans include 1^- WAVE'S and 6 WAC's.

FOLLOWING months of agitation for changes in the plan of student government on the campus the Stu- dent Council has adopted an amend- ment to its constitution providing for the election of the council president and vice president. The Student Council is composed of representa- tives of the major student organiza- tions of the campus, among them, Women's League, Men's Union, Panhellenic Council, Interfraternity Council, Women's Recreation Associ- ation. YWCA, Varsity O, Veterans Club, Independents' Association, and Campus Religious Council. At pres- ent the president of the Women's League serves as chairman the first semester and the president of the Men's Union Planning Board serves as chairman the second semester ot each year. The council operates un- der a constitution of its own which has been approved by the Campus

Affairs Committee. It has the dele- gated authority to consider, promote, and put into effect all projects which pertain to student activities at the Student Center and on the campus- at-large.

Applications for the Student Council presidency will be received in the offices of the dean ot men and the dean of women until November 8. Candidates must be juniors, have a 2.0 scholastic average, and have shown leadership qualities in campus activities. A nominating board of three faculty members, three senior men, and three senior women will weigh the merits of the candidates and announce the list of those eligible to run for the office. The nominat- ing board is made up of the follow- ing: Dr. James R. Patrick, Prof. C. N. Mackinnon, and Dr. Eileen Phil- lips (faculty representatives): and Ollie Tedrow, Betty Smart, Mary Lou Hagerman, Desmond Cook, Robert Regula, and William Benson (senior representatives).

BASKETBALL GAMES and oth- er important events taking place in the Men's Gym will soon be car- ried over Ohio University's Radio Station WOUB to all of the uni- versity dormitories and later to the temporary housing quarters for vet- erans on the lower campus. A new feature of the radio station is the early morning "Wake-Up Show" from 7:.^0 to 8:.iO a.m. The show includes a five-minute newscast at eight o'clock. About every three min- utes, the time of day is given, along with interesting sidelights on Athens and Ohio University. The "comics" are also dramatized during the show.

ON THE second of July I was awarded the Commenda. a rather high Itahan decoration, which is he- stowed hy the King on Italians and foreigners who are considered as benefactors of the Italian nation. I believe that the head of the Cara- binieri (Italian Military Police) here at Pisa, a friend of mine, was largely responsible in my receiving the award. He knew my deep interest in the culture, especially the ancient culture, of this country and my good will to- wards the citizens in whatever part of Italy I have been stationed. My case could have been documented, had he known, with the record of assist- ance I had given the Royal Family when the Italian and Swiss border was closed and it was necessary for some members of the family to pass from Montreu.x in Switzerland, where they had found refuge during the War, into Italy, or vice versa, from Italy into Switzerland. I had also facilitated the passage of relief sup- plies into Italy from charitable organi- zations in Switzerland, when a strict, hidebound interpretation of the regu- lations of border control could have excluded this relief for the starving people of Milan.

It may seem a little strange that I received this award after the abdica- tion of the King. This is the way it happened. The request for the con-

Hugh H. Davis, '32, who^"^ connection with the Army's Counter Intelligence Corps in Pisa. Italy, has recently been changed from a military to a civilian status, has written interestingly to home folks of his exper- iences in the Italian city. Excerpts from one of his letters are here reproduced.

Before entering the Army Mr. Davis had been an instructor in classical languages at Ohio University and he had taught in the department of classics at the University of Cincinnati. War services prevented comple- tion of work for a Ph. D. degree at the lat- ter institution.

ferring of the honor upon me was made some weeks before the election, but the papers were held up by reason of the necessary approval of Allied Force Headquarters which must ap- prove such an honor before it can be conferred on an American citizen.

When said approval was granted, the Ministry of the Royal Family sent the decoration to Pisa and I received it from the hands of an ofEcial of the Ministry at Pisa and in the presence of the Colonel of the Carahinieri. My decoration was probably one of the last granted by the King before he left Italy. Now that the monarchy was voted out there will be no more avi'ards of this type, but those who already possess them are free to wear them and use the title Commendatore. It is the third grade in the knighthood instituted by the King of Italy in 1868.

With regard to the King's abdica- tion, it must be remembered that the votes for the Republic were very, very few more than those for the Monarchy. (In fact, some authorities even maintain that the Monarchy had more votes.) The fact remains that the votes were about evenly divided. Many persons, who originally were in favor of a Republic, went over to the side of the Monarchy thinking the Monarchy the best guarantee for a stable government here in Italy. Un- doubtedly, the House of Savoy made many mistakes, but it was the old King who finally forced Mussolini to resign as head of the government. Then, too, the new King, Umberto II, had shown himself a good ruler both as Lieutenant-General of the Realm and as King for the short period after abdication of his father and before the elections. Umberto II is said to have been anti-fascist during the time Mussolini was at the head of the government.

The Sunday before last I partici- pated in the inauguration of the Ex- position of the Pisan Sculpture of the 14th Century. Pisa was the cradle of Italian art, being famous long before the Renaissance began at Florence. Through my eiforts the American Consul from Florence graced the occasion with his presence and prom- ised to see that the Exposition should receive adequate publicity in the U.S.A. The Exposition is a very important event in the world of art as well as a symbol of the initiative of the people here to rebuild and commence life anew after the fearful

Hugh H. Davis

destruction this city received during the War (after several disastrous air raids, both Allied and German. The front was here for a period of 4'i days) .

The building that houses the Expo- sition IS a very ancient one that has been rehabilitated in the last several months, and is ideal for the exhibiting of the works of art, which fortunately were removed to a safe place during the War. They now make a tri- umphal entry as it were, once again into the city that gave them birth. I had a place of honor among the civic and military authorities in the front row of seats facing the speakers.

Among the personages I met that day was the venerable Archbishop of Pisa, who IS almost 80 years old. He is especially beloved by the people for the reason that he alone remained with them in the city when the Fascist authorities deserted their posts of duty when the air raids were worst and conflicting armies were closing in on the city. After the ceremonies I was one of a very lim- ited group of persons present at a dinner given by the Director of the Monuments and Works of Art in this part of Italy. In the interval after the ceremonies and before the dinner, I invited the consul to rest awhile at our house. He willingly accepted the invitation. He told us of some rather interesting adventures that befell him before and during the war here in Italy. The consul is a Kansan, and at one time was a pro- fessor of economics at the University of Wichita.

THE WAR DEl'ARTMENT h.i> ,ipprt>vcd the expansion of O\\\o University"* ROTC by the addition of Air Corps and Quartermaster Corps eourses.

The two-year elementary and two- year advaneed programs were started this fall, supplementins; the pre- viously titfered Infantry training.

Students were permitted to elect work in any of the three branches of the service, limited only by quotas. The Air Corps led with .'^5 advanced student enrollees, followed by the In- fantry with 19 cadets and nine in the Quartermaster Corps.

Appro.ximately 29.i freshmen are taking the elementary course, re- quired in cases of no previou? mili- tary training.

Upon graduation and ctimpletion of the advanced course, students will be commissioned as Army Reserve second lieutenants if 21 years of age.

World War II veterans were al- lowed to enroll in the advanced work if they had had at least one year of <ictive duty. Ex-servicemen with six months of service were permitted to enter the second year of elementary study. Regular college credit is be- ing granted.

Advanced students are paid a sub- sistence allowance of approximately S20 a month. All ROTC students are furnished unitorms which need he worn only at drill and special events, said Col. Ray E. Cavenee, USA, professor of military science and tactics.

Cadets will get work in their specialised fields at summer camps of six to eight weeks duration at the end of the first year of advanced study.

The ROTC unit, always graded "excellent" in the 12 years it has been en the Ohio University campus, has enrolled World War II veterans ever since the war was over, provfng that not all ex-servicemen are "fed up" with the Army. In fact, all of the 65 advanced students are veterans.

With the expansion of the ROTC. additional officer and non-commis- sioned personnel were assigned to duty here. Col. Cavenee now has three officers and five enlisted men on duty in the university's military de- partment and is expecting three more officers and four enlisted men.

Officers currently assigned are Capt. Mark Treat, Air Corps; Capt.

John E. Lynch, Infantry; and Eirst L:eut. J;imes Skinner, Quartermaster Corps. Non-commissioned officers in- clude Master Sergeant Francis M. Petro, Infantry; Master Sergeant Wil Hawkins, Quartermaster Corps; and Technical Sergeants A. G. McMil- lon, Harold Dutton. and Varney W. Kelly, Air Corps.

Shown in the picture are : (seated left to right) Capt. Treat, Col. Cav- enee, and Capt. Lynch; (standing) Lieut. Skinner.

Subjects offered to advanced In- fantry students include courses in communications, gunnery, motors and transportation, tactics, the military team and troop movements.

Special Air ROTC subjects which may be taught in the second year ad- vanced course are aircraft mainten- ance, armament, weather and com- munications, administration, statistical control, supply and transportation.

Work in the College of Commerce will be given students in the Quarter- mastar Corps. Subjects include ad- ministration of civilian personnel, classification i)f supplies, station and depot supply, and property and ac- countability.

Orientation flying will be offered to Air ROTC students who can qualify in their senior year. After commissioning as ground officers they

will be given a high priority, if so desired, to go to an Army flying school to earn a pair of silver wings.

President John C. Baker, highly pleased that the War Department had seen fit to expand Ohio Uni- versity's ROTC, said he thought "the main objective of this far-reaching program is to provide the Army with a steady flow of college trained offi' cers. It is my understanding that future AAF reserve officers and a large portion of its regulars are ex- pected to come from this program."'

Col. Cavenee, who on June 22 re- lieved Maj. Raymond Lee as PMStrT, is a veteran of .>0 years service in the Regular Army. During World War II he served as commander of the 136th Infantry Regiment in the South Pacific, seeing service on New Guinea, and in the West Indies and the Philippines.

Added in July was Capt. John E. Lynch, a graduate of Indiana Uni- versity, where he was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army Re- serve. He went on active duty in July. 1940. From Jan., 1942, to Aug., 194^. Capt. Lynch served overseas in England, Icehmd, Ireland, France, Germany and the Rhineland with the 10th Infantry, 2nd Battalion.

their headquarters in the structure, which was first known as the College Edifice, then the Center College, be- cause it was, and still is, located in the center of the campus.

Not only was Cutler Hall the first college building in the Northwest Territory, but Ohio University was also the first land-grant college in the United States, and the first institution for higher learning in all that part ot North America from Pennsylvania to the Pacific Ocean and from the Ohio River to the Arctic Ocean.

General Putnam, a man who never went to college, nor even to school, was responsible for these "firsts." One of the first men in the United States to urge Congress to set aside lands for the support of education, he was foremost in the movement at the end of the Revolutionary War to have the vast tracts of the public domain surveyed and settled.

The result was the Ordinance ot 1787, in which Congress provided for the township system of survey .uid the granting of land for the purpose of education. In 1787 the Ohio Company of Associates, organized by Putnam, was ready to purchase land. A proposition for the purchase of land made by General Samuel H. Parsons was referred to a committee of five members of Congress, which recommended that four townships of land be set aside for the University.

When Manasseh Cutler followed General Parsons as agent of the Ohio Company of Associates in 1787 he succeeded in making a contract with Congress for the purchase of a large tract of land in what is now South- eastern Ohio.

In this contract as authorized on July 27, 1787. Congress reserved two complete townships of land for the purpose of a University to be located in the center of the purchase.

But It was not until 179i that Putnam, with his surveying crew, rowed down the Ohio and up the Hocking River and located the Uni- versity townships, 8 and 9, in range 14. Late in 1799 he laid out the town of Athens and the campus for the University.

Interested in having a model charter, Putnam consulted Cutler, who replied that there was no college charter in America suitable for the University. He made several recom- mendations, however, including the

suggestion of "American University" for the name of the college.

The General Assembly of the Northwest Territory passed an act on Jan. 9, 1802, incorporating many of Cutler's suggestions, but named the school the "American Western Uni- versity." Little was done under the act, for Ohio soon afterwards became a state, and, on Feb. 18, 1804, the General Assembly passed a law gen- erally considered the charter of Ohio University and changing the name of the institution to "Ohio University."

General Rufus Putnam

In .1 report of Nov. 16, ISSi, President Charles W. Super, for whom a building on the Ohio Uni- versity campus also was named, wnjte: "The record shows that in the space of 70 years, that is, from 181.=) to 188^, the trustees conferred 489 regular and 75 honorary degrees. That of B.A. was conferred 280 times; of B.S., 65 times; of B.Ph,, five times; and of A.M., 2J9 times. The honorary degree of A.M. was conferred 45 times, that of D.D. 16 times, and that of LL.D. seven times."

Thus not only would General Putnam (who hoped some day to see the university enroll as many as 500 students) be pleased with the restor- ation of the College Edifice when it is completed, but he would be even more pleased with the remarkable record of growth made by Ohio Uni- versity. For, from an opening-day student body of three men, the col- lege has grown until its enrollment this fall is nearly 5,800.

Highly successful in every respect but one — the outcome of the football game — was Ohio University's 1946 Homecoming Day observed on Oc- tober 26.

The game attendance of well over 12,000 persons was an all-time high, while longtime observers of the local scene were unanimous in their belief that there had never been such a crowd on Court Street as greeted the Saturday morning Float Parade.

Led by the Ohio University Band and participated in, also, by the Ath- ens High School Band, the entries of 18 campus organizations — mostly fra- ternities and sororities — made up the longest and probably best parade in Homecoming history.

In the women's division the float

NINETEEN years ago Ohio Uni- versity's Homecoming was mar- red hy a 28-0 trouncing at the hands of the Wittenberg Lutherans.

Ever since 1927 the Bobcats had been able to preserve their record ot winning all Homecoming games -that IS, until they met Miami University Oct, 26.

That Saturday afternoon the span was broken when the Redskins de- feated Ohio U. by 23-14 at Ohio Stadium, playing before a record- breaking crowd of 12,2.>6 students. alumni, and fans.

It was the second loss in a row for Coach Don C. Peden's pigskin pro- teges as the University of Cincinnati had won the week before by 19-0.

However, the Bobcats had opened their iOth football season by taking three in a row. winning from Mur- ray. Ky., State 27-7, downing West- ern Michigan College 2i-7 at Kala- mazoo, and easily taking the measure of Muskingum College by .^8-0.

Four games remained. Ohio Wes- leyan was to be met at Delaware Nov. 2, Baldwin-Wallace College was to play at Athens Nov. 9. The University of Dayton was set to in- vade the Bobcats" lair on Nov. 16

for a Dad's Day fray. The Ohio U. eleven's last game of the season was scheduled with Xavier University in Cincinnati on Nov. 2.V

Miami, rated as the favorite by most sports writers, entered the fray with a slight disadvantage as to games won and lost in the long series. Since 1908 the traditional rivals had tangled 22 times, the Bt)bcats winning 12 games and losing 10.

But the Redskins, with a smooth running ground attack interspersed with a barrage of aerials, had to come from behind to win in the last quarter. Miami scored two touch- downs and a field goal in the final period after Ohio U. led at the half by 14-6.

Dick Hodona, hard-charging Cleve- land fullback, scored Ohio's first touchdown midway in the second quarter, plunging over left tackle from the 2 - yard line. The TD culmin;ited a 6^ - yard drive. Ed Sudnick, another Cleveland back, came in to placekick the extra point. Score: Ohio U. 7, Miami 0.

Miami then put the ball in play on Its own .i7 after receiving the kickoff. On the first play from scrimmage. Quarterback Jack Robinson passed to Halfback Paul Shoults for a touch- down. The aerial and run were good for 6.1 yards. Tom Cole's attempted placement was blocked. Score: Ohio U. 7. Miami 6.

Quarterback King Brady ot Yakima. Wash., who had sparked the Bobcats all season, made his team's second touchdown when he went around right end, cut to his left, and went over standing up from 27 yards out. Sudnick's kick was good. Score; Ohm 14. Miami 6.

The third period was scoreless, al- though Ohio carried to Miami's 7- yard stripe only to lose the ball on downs. fj

Early in the fourth quarter. End Hal Paul of the Oxford eleven jjlbck- ed Brady's punt and recovered it on the Ohio ■«9.'>. Robiiigon set up a touchdown ny passing 17 yards to Halfback Ara Parseghian which put the ball on the i-yard line. Fullback Wayne Gibson plunged over. Colo's kick was good. Score: Ohio 14, Miami l."^.

A few minutes later Miami got

possession of the ball on its own 44 after returning a punt. Two running plays and a pass put the ball on the Ohio 7-yard line. A second pass was incomplete. Cole then dropped back to the 14-yard marker and place kicked a field goal. Score: Miami 16, Ohio 14.

Ohio U.'s first fumble of the game occurred late in the final stanza and led to Miami's third and last TD. Brady, attempting to pass while be- ing rushed on his own goal line, fumbled and Paul recovered inches behind the goal line stripe. The Bob- cats had been put in a hole by a I > -yard penalty which set them back to their own 7. Cole kicked the e.xtra point. Score: Miami 23, Ohio U. 14.

THE University of Cincinnati erased the Bobcats from the ranks of the four undefeated state elevens by downing them 19-0 at Nippert Stadium under the lights Oct. 19. The game, the Bearcats" Homecoming fray, was the roughest of the season and caused injuries to Quarterback Brady early in the first period. Chns Stefan of Dayton took over the signal calling and was a standout for Ohio University.

Scoring in every quarter, Ohio University easily trounced Mus- kingum College at Athens Oct. 12 by .■^S-O. The game was played on a soggy field. The Bobcats outplayed the Muskics in every department of the game, piling up 1 ^ first downs and .>72 yards net from scrimmage.

DESPITE the toughest schedule :n 14 many seasons, Ohio University's I ^ 1946-47 basketball team "should win ^' most of its games."

Known throughout the Middle ^

West for consistently putting strong 1 1 cage teams on the floor, Coach W. J. I ^ (Dutch) Trautu'ein says the Bobcats '^ will have a ""good team and we should 21 have a good year." However, he 24 hedged that statement a bit by add- ing that the going would be tougher 1 this year as Ohio U. opens collegiate ^ athletic competition in the new Mid- ^ American Athletic Conference. i^

The veteran mentor has scheduled 1 7 2 J games, including a round robin }} with loop members. They are the 28 always-tough Butler University, the University of Cincinnati, Western 3

Reserve University, and Wayne Uni- versity. ^^

In addition he has slated frays with the powerful University of Kentucky and with two of Ohio's best college quintets, Akron Uni- University and Bowling Green Uni- versity.

The Green and White won 1 "^ games in 20 starts last season, run- ning up 1086 points against 924. Sparked by Bob "Fiss" Miller, sen- sational forward who played his final game last spring, the Bobcats scored an average of 54 points per game.

Plugging the hole left by Miller is one of Coach Trautwein's headaches as he lays plans for the com- ing campaign. Termed one of Ohio U.'s all-time great forwards. Miller re- turned to the squad after serving in the Army, hav- ing been a member of the outstanding 1941 team that lost to Long Island University in the finals of the National Invitational Tournament at Madison Square Garden.

Trautwein, in his eighth year as head coach of the Bobcats, has eight letter- men around which to build a winning quintet. From a turnout of nearly 200 candidates, the squad was pruned to 30 men the

Another good cageman seeking a starting berth is Russ Gregg of Ash- ville. A sophomore, he played for- ward and guard last year as a fresh- man.

Bill Dickey, six-foot-three and a half inch center from Lancaster, is out for the pivot spot again. He is a neat ball handler.

Bob Brandle is a senior from Chilli- cothe who played a steady game at guard last year and is out for his third cage letter at that post.

Harry Lamb, Lancaster sophomore, is seeking to hold down a guard po- sition. He played in a number of games last spring.

Harry Gordon of Cleveland, who lettered in 1941-42, has returned af- ter a hitch for his Uncle Sam and is out for forward or guard.

It is not K^nerally known that one of Ohio University's most distinguished and scholarly graduates of the mid-19th cen- tury was a colored man, Joseph Carter CoRBiN, A.M. "56. Mr. Corbin was born in Chillicothe in 1838, came to Ohio University in 1850 at the age of 17, and three years later received the A.B. degree. In later years the Ph.D. degree was con- ferred upon him by a Baptist college in the South. After graduation he taught school in Louisville, Ky. During the Civil War he edited and published The Colored Citizen in Cincinnati. At the end of the war he went to Arkansas where he was elected state superintendent of public in- struction. At the conclusion of his term of office he moved to Missouri where he taught for two years m Lincoln Institute in Jefferson City. Returning to Arkansas he accepted the presidency of Branch Normal College which he headed for 30 years. He read Greek, Latin, German. French, Spanish, and Hebrew fluently. and as a scholar in mathematics con- tributed to leading mathematical journals. He served as president of the State Color- ed Teachers' Association, and one o. h s fellow educators, a white man, compared him favorably with Horace Mann, the great New England educator. He was described in a Bulletin of the U. S. Bu- reau of Education as one of the greatest colored men of his state as well as one of the leading educators. In a day when freemasonry was widely practiced by mem- bers of the colored race. Dr. Corbin was a 33rd degree Mason, a grand commander of Knights Templar, a grand master of Arkansas Masons, and was for 26 years secretary of the grand lodge in his state. He died Jan 9, 1911, in Pine Bluff.

One of the very real pleasures in the life of an alumni secretary is to meet the sons and daughters of alumni when they come to the campus following in the foot- steps of their mothers and dads. This year the number of these "legacies" has in- creased to an all-time high. An effort will be made at an early date to secure a group picture of these sons and daughters. Although they are not "second genera- tion students," Patricia and Jean Brown, twins from Cincinnati, came to the Alumni Office the other day bearing a note of introduction from their neighbor and very good friend. Dr. Philip Zen- NER, Ohio University's oldest living alumnus. Included in Dr. Zenner's note was the information that the attractive young ladies are great-great grand nieces of John Brown, the hero of Harper's Ferry. Although he graduated from Ohio University more than 76 years ago and is now past 94 years of age, Dr. Zenner, a physician and neurologist, goes daily to his office in downtown Cincinnati where he meets some of his old friends and patients.

1897

It is an unusual week that does not bring an invitation to Ohio University to send an official representative to an inaug- uration, a centennial celebration, or some

other special event at an American col- lege or university. Since college presidents are frequently too busy to accept these invitations personally and travel funds are too limited to permit of visitations to dis- tant points, alumni in the vicinities of the inviting schools are sometmes asked to represent their universities. On October 17 Prof. John H. Atkinson (see picture), Ames, Iowa, represented his alma mater at the centennial celebration held by Grinnell College at Grinnell. Iowa.

From correspondence and personal obser- vation, however, the Alumni Secretary knows that there were very literally thousands of grads and former students back for the day. The official total of paid admissions at the football game was 12,236, a figure never before reached at Ohio Stadium.

foreword by the well-known comedian, Danny Kaye. Of the artist-cartoonist the publisher writes: "Her pen-point is fine and penetrates deeply. On the surface her drawings are clever, but closer examina- tion reveals a brilliant sense of social con- sciousness and awareness of her neighbors as she considers Love, Art, People, and general Confusion. I Do All The Wor\ Around Here has whimsicality, cynicism, gayety, and a little cruelty too. Above all, it has wit and talent." Continuing, the

publisher states that "Danny Kaye's poetic foreword provides the perfect foil tur Miss Eakin's sardonic humor. She, in turn, insists that he is one of her car- toons come to life. This Mr. Kaye vio- lently denies, stating that 'ol human kind- ness she has no milk." He claims he has been heckled into hack-writing, but we have an idea that he secretly enjoyed do- ing it."
