New  School  Year  Sees 
A  Record  Enrollment 

President  Bryan  Defends  Study  of  the 
Past;  Enumerates  Objectives 


WHEN,  on  September  28,  the  enrollment  at  Ohio 
University  went  over  the  2,')')0  mark,  a  new  at- 
tendanee  record  was  set  at  the  "oldest  university  in  the 
Northwest  Territory."  Final  registration  figures  were 
2,62?,  or  75  more  than  last  year. 

Students  from  all  corners  of  Ohio  and  from  twenty- 
six  other  states  have  come  to  the  campus  to  make  an  in- 
crease possible  at  a  time  when  almost  all  of  the  major 
schools  in  the  state,  including  the  other  state  universities, 
have  reported  decreases  m  varying  degrees. 

For  the  second  time  New  York  state  has  surpassed 
Pennsylvania  in  the  matter  of  student  contributions,  the 
enrollment  from  the  Empire  state  jumping  from  147  last 
year  to  192  this  fall.  Pennsylvania  is  represented  by  11 1 
students,  while  85  West  Virginians  are  enrolled.  Cuya- 
hoga County  with  186  students,  as  usual,  heads  the  list 
of  Ohio  counties,  excepting  the  home  county  of  Athens. 
Other  large  contributors  are:  Scioto,  66;  Mahoning,  55; 
Washington,  55;  and  Fairfield,  54. 


In  addressing  the  opening  convocation  of  the  school 
year — his  twelfth  at  Ohio  University  and  his  twenty- 
seventh  as  a  university  administrator — President  Elmer 
Burritt  Bryan  defended  the  study  of  the  "past"  in  edu- 
cation, while  enumerating  the  objectives  of  a  sound  edu- 
cational program. 

"By  studying  what  people  have  discovered,  thought, 
and  done,  we  may  adequately  prepare  for  the  world  to- 
wards which  we  are  headed  by  developing  the  ability  to 
think  accurately  and  effectively  in  a  vast  variety  of  fields 
and  at  the  same  time  develop  a  love  for  this  kind  of 
thinking,"  Doctor  Bryan  summari::ed  as  he  concluded  his 
address. 

"Students  direct  most  of  their  attention  and  thought 
toward  the  past,"  he  stated.  "They  are  studying  what 
other  people  have  thought,  and  what  other  people  have 
done.  Generally  speaking,  what  people  in  the  past  have 
discovered  constitutes  studies  in  pure,  physical,  and  biolog- 
ical sciences;  what  people  have  thought  in  the  past  con- 
stitutes studies  in  philosophy  and  other  speculative  fields; 
what  people  have  done  in  the  past  constitutes  studies  in 
the  varied  fields  of  history. 

"Because  students  are  under  the  necessity  of  looking 
to  the  past  for  so  much  of  their  materials  of  study,  it  is 
often  charged  by  the  public,  as  well  as  by  educational 
leaders,  that  we  are  looking  too  much  to  the  past  and  not 
enough  to  the  present  and  to  the  future. 

"It  IS  maintained  by  them  that  students  in  the  schools 
and  universities  should  have  their  minds  directed  more 
fully  toward  the  future  in  which  they  will  live  and  par- 
ticipate.    On  the  surface,  this  seems  a  wise  saying.  How- 


President  Elmer  Burritt  Bry.xn 

ever,  it  would  be  idle  to  hold  that  students  should  be  pre- 
paring today  to  articulate  successfully  in  the  new  and 
undiscovered  world  of  tomorrow  for  the  simple  reason 
that  no  one  knows  what  the  world  of  tomorrow  will  be. 

"If  such  a  plan  had  been  undertaken  fifty  years  ago," 
said  President  Bryan,  "we  should  probably  have  more 
mal-adjustments  today  than  we  have.  No  educational 
theory  and  no  public  critic  could  have  guessed  fifty  years 
ago  the  character  of  the  adjustments  that  would  be  de- 
sirable today.  No  one  had  thought  of  the  country  being 
spanned  with  hard  roads;  no  one  had  thought  of  the 
automobile,  the  radio,  the  victrola,  wireless,  and  of  the 
flying  machine,  etc. 

"It  IS  difficult  to  prepare  for  a  future  day  about  which 
we  know  so  little.  Nevertheless,  it  is  desirable  that  stu- 
dents of  today  should  be  prepared  not  only  to  usher  in  a 
better  future,  but  also  be  qualified  to  participate  in  it. 
Happily,  we  are  not  limited  in  our  choice  either  of  looking 
wholly  or  mostly  to  the  past,  or  of  preparing  to  make 
definite  adjustments  to  the  future  about  which  we  know 
so  little.  We  should  be  able  to  do  a  better  thing  than 
either  or  both  of  these. 

"By  studying  what  people  have  discovered,  thought, 
and  done,  we  may  adequately  prepare  for  the  world  to- 
wards which  we  are  headed  by  developing  the  ability  to 
think  accurately  and  effectively  in  a  vast  variety  of  fields 
and  at  the  same  time  develop  a  love  for  this  kind  of 
thinking.     We  will  in  the  course  of  these  studies  become 


THE      OHIO      A  L  U  M  N 1 1 


familiar  to  a  greater  or  less  degree  with  a  wide  variety  of 
information. 

"Knowing  that  the  discoveries  of  the  past  have  been 
made  hy  people,  the  thoughts  of  the  past  are  the  thinking 
of  people;  and  the  doings  of  the  past  are  the  activities  of 
people,  there  is  a  very  decided  likelihood  that  we  will  be- 
come interested  in  people;  and  having  lived  with  people 
in  institutions  and  in  smaller  groups,  we  will  have  become 
interested  in  the  organization  of  people  into  effective 
groups  of  living  and  will  have  attained  a  certain  degree 
of  skill  in  group  adjustments.  We  have  then  an  objective 
for  the  University. 

"The  University  should  offer  opportunity  whereby 
students  may  learn  to  think  clearly  and  comprehensively 
in  a  vast  variety  of  fields;  may  through  wise  guidance  and 
encouragement  fall  in  love  with  this  kind  of  thinking: 
may  possess  bodies  of  knowledge  about  which  they  may 
think;  may  have  developed  a  profound  interest  in  people: 
and  may  have  developed  an  interest  and  skill  in  the 
organization  of  people  looking  towards  the  highest  degree 
of  happiness  and  usefulness." 

President  Bryan  was  the  commencement  speaker  at 
Ohio  State  University  in  June  when  1,500  degrees  were 
awarded  by  Ohio  University's  sister  institution.

OCTOBER,        1  9  ?  2 


Venerable  Bishop  Passes; 
To  Be  Buried  in  Arlington 

Dr.  W.  H.  Scott,  Former  President  of  Ohio 
University,  Becomes  Oldest  Living  Graduate 


BISHOP  Earl  Cranston,  '61,  until 
his  deiith,  Ohio  University's  old- 
est livmg  alumnus,  and  dean  of  hish- 
ops  in  the  Methodist  Episcopal 
Church,  passed  away  quietly  at  his 
country  home,  "Penmaen,"  near  New 
Richmond,  on  the  Ohio  River  not  far 
from  Cincinnati,  Aug.  18,  19?2. 

Bishop  Cranston  was  not  only 
senior  member  of  Methodism's  bish- 
ops but  was  likewise  one  of  the 
church's  most  renowned  leaders.  At 
the  time  of  his  death,  at  the  age  of 
92,  he  was  leading  a  movement  to  re- 
unite his  church  with  the  Methodist 
Episcopal  Church,  South. 

The  venerable  churcliman  was  born 
in  Athens,  June  27,  1840.  He  was 
ordained  m  1867  and  spent  49  years 
actively  in  the  ministry,  both  in  the 
United  States  and  abroad.  He  was 
elevated  to  the  bishopric  in  1896  and 
was  retired  in  1916  at  the  age  of  Ti. 
He  was  the  last  surviving  of  three 
Ohio  University  schoolmates,  born  in 
Athens,  who  later  became  bishops. 
The  other  two  were  Bishop  David  H. 
Moore,  '60,  and  Bishop  Charles  C. 
McCabe. 


Dr.  W.  H.  Sc.dit,  ■(.2 


Degrees  awarded  Bishop  Cranston 
v^'cre  Bachelor  of  Arts,  1861;  Master 
ol  Arts,  1866;  and  Doctor  of  Laws 
(honorary),  1896,  all  by  Ohio  Uni- 
versity, and  Doctor  of  Divinity,  by 
Allegheny  College,  in  1882. 

Following  service  in  the  Civil  War, 
during  which  he  won  the  rank  of  cap- 
tain, he  entered  the  ministry  and 
served  pastorates  at  Marietta,  Ports- 
mouth, and  Cincinnati,  Ohio;  Win- 
ona, Minn.,  Jacksonville,  111.,  Evans- 
ville,  Ind.,  and  Denver,  Colo.  His 
Episcopal  residences  were  in  Portland, 
Ore.;  Washington,  D.  C;  and  in 
China. 

The  advance  toward  the  reunion  of 
Methodism  was  his  greatest  work,  and 
although  he  died  with  his  ambition 
unrealized,  he  helped  build  a  strong 
foundation  upon  which  the  two 
branches,  separated  in  1845^,  are 
gradually  getting  together.  In  his 
book,  "Breaking  Down  the  Wall,"  he 
wrote : 

"Divided  Methodism  must  become 
.  .  .  ashamed  of  its  present  way  of 
living.  ...  It  sounds  like  a  con- 
fession of  judgment  at  the  bar  of  pub- 
He  opinion  for  the  using  of  millions  of 
consecrated  money  to  perpetuate  di- 
visions which  are  without  justifica- 
tion." 

Bishop  Cranston's  widow,  Mrs. 
Lucie  Parker  Cranston,  was  his  third 
mate.  Mrs.  Martha  Behan  Cranston, 
the  first,  and  Mrs.  Laura  Martin 
Cranston,  the  second,  are  both  dead. 
There  are  four  children,  all  living;  a 
son.  Earl  M.  Cranston,  an  attorney 
of  Denver,  Colo.,  and  three  daughters, 
Ethel,  Ruth,  and  Margaret  Cranston. 

It  was  the  aged  prelate's  request 
that  his  body  be  temporarily  interred 
beneath  a  favorite  buckeye  tree  in 
the  frcnt  yard  of  his  home,  to  be 
taken  later  to  Arlington  National 
Cemetery  in  Washington.  This  re- 
quest has  been  complied  with  and  on 
October  20,  the  remains  of  the  last  of 
Ohio  University's  bishops  will  find  a 
final    resting   place   beneath    the   hal- 


BiSHOP  E.\RL  Cranston,  '61 

lowed     soil     of     heautitul     Arlington 
cemetery. 

Dr.  William  Henry  Scott,  '62,  of 
Columbus,  upon  whom,  with  Bishop 
Cranston's  passing,  fell  the  mantle  of 
alumni  seniority,  has  written  the  fol- 
lowing tribute  to  his  friend  and 
schoolmate : 

"The  recent  death  of  Bishop  Crans- 
ton removed  the  oldest  and  most  dis- 
tinguished alumnus  of  the  University. 
He  was  born  about  a  mile  west  of 
Athens  and  almost  within  hearing  of 
the  university  bells.     .     .     . 

"In  April,  1861,  when  the  Civil 
War  broke  out,  Cranston  was  a 
member  of  the  senior  class,  but  he  was 
one  of  the  first  to  enlist.  Nevertheless, 
he  was  graduated  two  months  later 
with  the  first  honors.     .     .    . 

"Not  since  the  death  of  Thomas 
Ewing  (Class  of  1815)  in  1871  has 
the  University  lost  from  the  roll  of  its 
living  alumni  one  whose  name  was  so 
widely  and  so  honorably  known,  and 
whose  public  service  will  be  of  such 
enduring  value." 

Doctor  Scott,  from  1872  to  188.^ 
president  of  Ohio  University,  and  for 
the  following  twelve  years,  president 
of  Ohio  State  University,  was  an 
honored  guest  at  the  Ohio  University 
commencement  last  June,  even  as 
Bishop  Cranston  had  been  the  pre- 
vious year. 

Born  in  184l\  on  September  14, 
Doctor  Scott  has  recently  observed  his 
ninety-second  birthday.  He  is  active 
physically  and  as  keen  mentally  as 
many  men  thirty  years  his  junior.

and  Mr.  Noble  C.  Shilt,  "21. 
secretary-treasurer. 

The  program  was  concluded 
by  the  showing  of  motion  pic- 
tures of  the  Ohio  Universit)' 
campus  and  of  the  football 
team. 


Early  Friday  morning  the  Bobcat 
squad  was  met  upon  its  arrival  at  the 
Washington  Union  Station  by  an 
alumni  committee.  After  breakfast, 
the  boys  were  taken  on  a  four-hour 
sightseeing  tour,  as  guests  of  the 
alumni  chapter,  which  was  climaxed 
by  a  visit  to  the  White  House  and  a 
picture  with  President  Hoover.  Be- 
sides the  professional  Washington 
guide,  the  team  was  accompanied  by 
Captain  Goettge,  who  is  a  White 
House  Aide. 

Motion  pictures  of  the  squad  were 
taken  at  the  Tomb  of  the  Unknown 
Soldier  in  Arlington  Cemetery,  the 
Lincoln  Memorial,  Washington  Mon- 
ument, the  steps  of  the  Capitol,  and 
at  the  White  House.  In  addition  to 
these  places,  the  team  visited  "Em- 
bassy Row,"  Rock  Creek  Park,  and 
the  Smithsonian  Institute,  where  the 
Lindbergh  plane  was  perhaps  of  great- 
est interest.  Time  did  not  permit  a 
visit  to  Mount  Vernon. 

The  high  point  of  the  tour  was,  of 
course,  the  visit  to  the  White  House 
and  being  photographed  with  the 
nation's  chief  executive.  The  group, 
under  escort  of  Captain  Goettge  and 
of  "Ike""  Hoover,  the  latter,  for  forty 
years  White  House  chief  usher,  was 
conducted    through    the    East    Room, 


the  Red,  Green,  and  Blue  Parlors,  and 
the  State  Dining  Room.  Following 
this,  they  went  to  the  White  House 
lawn  where,  with  President  Hoover, 
they  faced  a  battery  of  newspaper 
cameras. 

In  a  White  House  reception  to  the 
American  Bar  Association  the  night 
previous.  President  Hoover's  hand  was 
cut  by  the  ring  of  one  of  the  lady 
guests.  When  he  appeared  to  greet 
the  Bobcats  his  hand  was  taped  and 
notice  was  given  by  an  executive  sec- 
retary that  there  would  be  no  hand- 
shaking. 

In  spite  of  this,  however.  President 
Hoover  shook  hands  with  Athletic 
Director  O.  C.  Bird,  Coaches  Peden 
and  Trautwein,  Commissioner  Foster, 
and  Captain  Goettge.  A  cordial  nod 
was  given  in  acknowledgement  of  the 
presentation  of  George  Collins  as 
acting  captain. 

During  the  taking  of  the  pictures 
President  Hoover  remarked  to  Coach 
Peden  that  he  had  once  managed  a 
Stanford  University  football  team. 
Prior  to  the  departure  he  wished  the 
coaches  and  squad  good  luck  in  the 
game.

Class  of  1932  Is  Largest  Group 
Ever  To  Leave  Campus 

Prof.  Frank  B.  Gullum^    07,  Elected  To  Head 
Ohio  Alumni  Association  For  Coming  Year 


THE  JUNE  section  of  the  largest 
senior  class  in  Ohio  University's 
history  was  graduated  with  impressive 
commencement  exercises  in  Alumni 
Memorial  Auditorium  on  the  sixth 
day  of  the  month  of  roses. 

The  academic  procession  of  gradu- 
ates and  faculty  members  in  caps  and 
robes  marched  through  the  campus 
along  the  lane  overshadowed  by  the 
inspiringly  beautiful  McGuffey  Elms, 
led  by  Prof.  T.  N.  Hoover,  'Of,  mar- 
shal of  the  day.  President  Elmer  Bur- 
ritt  Bryan  of  Ohio  University,  and 
President  William  Lowe  Bryan  (no 
relation)  of  Indiana  University,  the 
commencement  speaker. 

The  three  graduating  groups  consti- 
tuting the  Class  of  19.'i2 — February, 
June,  and  August — totaled  428  mem- 
bers, with  the  June  section  having  the 
greatest  number,  290.  In  addition  to 
the  428  recipients  of  baccalaureate 
degrees,  there  were  214  students  who 
received  diplomas  for  successfully 
completing  two-year  courses. 

In  addressing  the  June  seniors,  the 
Indiana  president  pointed  out  that 
"We  have  had  marvelous  success  in 
dealing  with  nature.  .  .  .  We  have 
had  far  less  success  in  dealing  with 
human  nature. 

We  have  with  us  now 
starvation,  war,  and  a  school  of 
writers  who  are  trying  to  break  down 
faith  in  everything,  contending  that 
life  is  utterly  futile  and  worthless." 

After  pointing  to  great  men  in  his- 
tory who  have  given  up  life  as  not 
being  worth  the  living,  and  citing 
others  who  were  willing  to  brave  all 
hardships,  President  Bryan  concluded, 
"there  are  those  who  have  faith  and 
live  in  the  way  of  Jesus  Christ,  never 
quitting  the  struggle  of  progress  in 
human  relationships." 

Honorary  degrees  were  conferred 
upon  Dr.  Ernest  Brown  Skinner,  '88, 
professor  of  Mathematics,  University 
of  Wisconsin,  and  the  commencement 
speaker,  Dr.  W.  L.  Bryan.  The 
former  was  presented  by  Dean  T.  C. 
McCracken  for  the  degree  of  Doctor 


of  Science.  Dean  E.  W.  Chubb  pre 
sented  Doctor  Bryan  for  the  degree 
of  Doctor  of  Humane  Letters. 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  Ohio 
University  Alumni  Association  was 
held  m  Alumni  Memorial  Auditorium 
just  prior  to  the  Commencement  Pic- 
nic on  Saturday  afternoon,  June  ">. 
Dr.  Josephus  T.  Ullon,  '98,  German- 
town,  Philadelphia  physician,  associa- 
tion president  for  the  past  year,  was 
in  the  chair  and  opened  the  session 
with  an  appropriate  greeting. 

After  musical  contributions  by  Miss 
Louise  Lorents,  '32,  and  the  presenta- 
tion of  formal  reports,  an  election  of 
leaders  for  the  ensuing  year  was  held. 

The  report  of  the  Nominating 
Committee,  headed  by  Miss  Amy 
Weihr,  '02,  was  accepted  and  its  rec- 
ommendations were  adopted  by  the 
election  of  the  following:  Prof.  Frank 
B.  Gullum,  '07,  Athens,  president; 
Rev.  Dr.  Adam  J.  Hawk,  '79,  New- 
ark, vice  president;  Clark  E.  Wil- 
liams, '21,  Athens,  secretary;  and 
Prof.  W.  H.  Fenzel,  '18,  Athens, 
treasurer. 

The  executive  committee  is  com- 
posed of  the  outgoing  president.  Doc- 
tor Ullom,  and  two  members  elected, 
who  were  Miss  Florence  Miesse,  '12, 
2-yr.,  Chillicothe,  and  Miss  Elisabeth 
Gardner,  '26,  Proctorville. 

The  new  president  is  a  member  of 
the  Ohio  University  faculty  in  the 
department  of  Chemistry  and  a  one- 
time star  twirler  on  the  varsity  base- 
ball team.  For  a  year  following 
graduation  he  was  an  instructor  at 
Ohio  University.  The  next  year  he 
was  associated  with  the  Rock  Island 
Railroad,  in  Chicago,  in  the  capacity 
of  analytical  chemist.  In  1909-10  he 
taught  science  courses  in  the  high 
school  at  Chillicothe.  From  1910  to 
1918  he  was  head  of  the  Science  de- 
partment of  East  High  School  in 
Columbus. 

Since  1918,  with  the  exception 
of  the  period  of  leave  granted  for 
graduate  work  at  Ohio  State  Univer- 
sity, from  which  he  received  the  M. 


Pre.sident  F.  B.  Gullum,  '07

Outdoor  Athletics,  and  thereafter  as 
a  teacher  of  Chemistry.  He  has  held 
the  rank  of  associate  professor  since 
1924. 

In  1912  President  Gullum  married 
Miss  Eva  Mitchell,  '11,  of  Point 
Pleasant,  W.  Va.  The  two  Gullum 
children,  Robert  and  Betty,  are  stu- 
dents in  Ohio  University,  the  former 
being  a  junior  and  the  latter  a  fresh- 
man. 

Vice  President  Hawk  is  a  retired 
minister  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal 
Church.  He  has  served  pastorates  in 
Wellston,  Gallipolis,  ZanesviUe,  Mari- 
etta, Columbus,  and  Newark.  In  1882 
he  received  the  M.  A.  degree  at  Ohio 
University  and  in  1904  he  was 
awarded  the  honorary  D.  D.  degree, 
also  by  his  alma  mater.  Doctor 
Hawk's  home  is  in  Newark. 

The  secretary  and  treasurer  were 
reelected  and  have  held  office  for 
several  years  past. 

The  new  members  of  the  Executive 
Committee,  Miss  Miesse  and  Miss 
Gardner,  are  interested  followers  of 
events  at  Ohio  University  and  active 
in  alumni  affairs.  Miss  Miesse  is  a

THE      OHIO      ALUMNUS 


From  the  Editor  to  You

THE  secretary-editor  desires  to  acknowledge  in  these 
columns  the  highly  effective  and  worthwhile  work 
that  some  of  his  fellow  alumni  have  done  for  their  alma 
mater  in  recent  months. 

In  spite  of  hopeful  signs  for  an  upturn  in  public 
morale  and  an  improvement  in  personal  finances,  the 
schools  of  the  country  were  threatened  this  fall  by  the 
double-headed  danger  of  a  decrease  in  revenue  and  a  fall- 
ing off  in  attendance.  The  latter,  of  course,  always  con- 
tributes to  the  former  because  the  institutions  are  depend- 
ent for  income,  to  a  greater  or  lesser  extent,  upon  the 
tuition  and  registration  fees.  The  situation  was  this,  that 
if  it  were  to  come  about  that  Ohio~Xrniversity  should 
suffer  a  considerable  drop  in  attendance,  a  dismissal  of 
members  of  the  faculty  and  the  adoption  of  other  measures 
seriously  impairing  the  functions  of  the  school  would 
likely  be  unavoidable. 

In  order  to  combat  these  possibilities  and  also  to 
realize  as  fully  as  might  be  upon  the  indications  of  inter- 
est that  had  been  exhibited  in  Ohio  University  by  high 
school  graduates  and  others,  a  large  number  of  alumni 
were  asked  to  get  in  personal  touch  with  the  inquirers  in 
their  vicinities  and  to  do  what  they  legitimately  could  to 
interest  them  in  their  school.  These  alumni  were  asked 
to  state  that  as  graduates  of  the  university  they  would  be 
happy  to  give  information  or  advice,  if  it  were  desired, 
concerning  any  matters  in  which  the  prospective  students 
might  be  interested.  Coaxing  or  efforts  at  proselyting 
were  especially  warned  against,  it  being  the  thought  that 
a  mere  expression  of  friendly  interest  would  in  itself  be  a 
valuable  contact  for  the  university. 

The  announcement  appearing  elsewhere  in  the  maga- 
zine that  Ohio  University  has  not  only  held  her  own  this 
-  fall  but  has  made  an  appreciable  gain  _in  attendance,  is 
proof  that  those  called  upon  for  a  donation  of  time  and 
effort  in  alma  mater's  behalf  were  not  unresponsive. 
While  the  contacting  enterprise  in  which  the  aid  of 
alumni  was  enlisted  was  only  a  part  of  the  intensive  and 
comprehensive  effort  organized  during  the  summer,  it  was 
a  very  important  part,  and  for  its  successful  achievement 
all  participating  may  warrantably  be  proud.  Reports 
from  over  the  nation  indicate  that  only  a  very  few  of 
the  universities  of  the  size  of  Ohio  University,  or  larger, 
have  been  able  to  show  attendance  gains  this  fall,  such 
schools  as  the  University  of  Illinois,  Ohio  State  University, 
and  the  University  of  Wisconsin  being  among  the  large 
number  to  report  losses. 

It  is  to  a  somewhat  smaller  group  that  the  writer, 
secondly,  wants  to  express  appreciation — the  members  of 
the  Washington  alumni  chapter.  This  group,  not  large 
as  our  chapter  organizations  go,  was  responsible  for  stag- 
ing the  great  dinner  and  rally  in  the  national  capital  on 
the  eve  of  the  Navy-Ohio  game  at  Annapolis,  and  for  the 
splendid  entertainment  provided  for  the  members  of  the 
football  squad  during  their  stay  in  the  city. 

The  promotion  of  the  dinner  and  trip  cost  the  mem- 
bers of  the  chapter  much  in  time,  effort,  and  money,  but 
these  alumni,  too,  may  feel  justly  satisfied  with  the  results 


of  their  labors.  The  reunion  dinner  was  a  genuine  suc- 
cess, while  the  sightseeing  trip  was  one  of  continuous 
thrills  to  the  men  of  the  gridiron  team  and  an  experience 
never  to  be  forgotten  by  them. 


NOVEMBER  fifth  has  been  chosen  as  the  19.^2  Home- 
coming Day  at  Ohio  University  and  for  the  events 
of  the  occasion  hundreds  of  alumni  are  expected  to  wend 
their  eager  ways  back  to  the  valley  of  the  Hock-Hocking 
and  to  the  campus  of  their  alma  mater.  A  program  of 
excellent  entertainment  has  been  planned,  the  feature  of 
which  will  naturally  be  the  football  game  between  Wit- 
tenberg and  Ohio. 

Better  than  any  lorinal  program  of  activities,  how- 
ever, will  be  the  opportunities  for  the  renewing  of 
acquaintanceships  and  the  revelings  in  the  haunts  and 
scenes  of  other  days.  Come  back  and  experience  the 
tonic  effect  of  a  view  of  Ohio's  beautiful  campus  or  a 
brief  stroll  through  the  hospital  grounds,  both  places  now 
at  the  zenith  of  their  autumn  loveliness.  And  then  there's 
the  new  bridge.  Only  a  minor  attraction,  to  be  sure,  but 
you'll  want  to  sec  it. 


THE  proposal  that  administration  of  the  appropriations 
made  to  state-supported  institutions  be  taken  from 
the  hands  of  the  boards  of  trustees  of  the  institutions  and 
placed  in  the  control  of  the  Ohio  Legislature  was  rejected 
— and  properly  so — by  the  recent  special  session  of  the 
Legislature  after  a  concerted  attack  was  made  upon  the 
measure  by  the  presidents  of  the  state  colleges  and  uni- 
versities. The  proposal  was  a  "joker"  inserted  into  the 
state  economy  bill  and,  to  the  credit  of  a  great  many  right- 
minded  legislators  supporting  the  bill,  the  objectionable 
clause  was  immediately  disavowed  upon  its  being  called 
to  their  attention. 

Who  is  there  in  a  log-rolling,  politically-motivated 
legislative  body  qualified  to  say  what  various  individuals 
are  worth  to  the  state's  educational  enterprises?  Under 
the  law  the  presidents  and  trustees  of  these  schools  are 
responsible  for  such  decisions  and  their  functions  should 
not  be  disturbed. 

Under  the  present  system,  the  Legislature  appropri- 
ates in  a  lump  sum  the  amount  of  money  which  it  de- 
cides is  required  for  each  institution.  This  is  done  once 
for  each  biennium  by  the  Legislature  of  the  same  two- 
year  period  for  which  the  appropriation  is  made.  This 
lump  sum  is  administered  by  the  board  of  trustees  of  each 
institution,  which  sets  the  salaries  of  its  own  employes. 
Under  the  new  proposal,  the  Legislature  would  have  de- 
termined the  salaries  of  the  university  professors  and 
maintenance  forces  as  it  sets  the  wages  of  statutory 
officers. 

After  the  Legislature  has  appropriated  the  lump 
sum  for  the  biennium  the  governor  alone  has  the  power 
to  cut  the  appropriation.  This  right  has  been  exercised 
twice  by  Governor  White  in  the  present  two-year 
period  when  he  made  his  horizontal  cuts  to  meet  lowered 
state  income.

ATHENS'  new  South  Bridge  was 
CDinplctcd  and  opened  early  in 
September.  It  is  a  beautiful  and  sub- 
stantial structure,  replacing  an  old 
iron  bridge  condemned  none  too  soon. 
Crowds  attending  football  games  and 
other  contests  at  Ohio  Stadium  will 
no  longer  fear  to  negotiate  the  cross- 
ing of  the  Hocking  River. 


Both  the  hymn  and  the  march  were 
enthusiastically  received  by  the  stu- 
dent body. 


The  night  and  Saturday  work  was 
inaugurated  last  year  and  is  a  separate 
feature  from  work  of  the  longer-es- 
tablished group  extension  and  corre- 
-spondence  study  divisions. 


SCHOLARSHIPS  were  awarded 
by  Ohio  University  this  fall  to 
fourteen  students.  Six  of  the  awards 
were  made  to  entering  freshmen,  one 
to  the  highest  ranking  member  of 
each  of  the  three 
upper  classes,  four 
as  the  Columbia 
Downing  Award, 
and  the  French  ex- 
change scholarship. 

The  freshmen 
and  upperclass 
awards  cover  term 
fees  to  the  extent 
of  $80  per  year. 
The  Columbia 
Downing  Award 
of  $600  was  this 
year  divided  into 
four  sums  and 
given  to  sopho 
more  boys  under 
the  terms  of  the 
bequest. 

The  visiting 
French  student  is 
Mile.  T  h  e  r  e  s  e 
Purtschet,  a  native  of  Tunis,  where 
her  father  is  director  of  a  men's 
school.  The  exchange  award  entitles 
the  receiver  to  free  tuition,  board,  and 
lodging. 


YC  )UTH  is  not  always  served.  Dean 
Edwin  Watts  Chubb  in  June 
won  the  annual  Men's  Faculty  Club 
golf  championship  at  the  Athens 
Country  Club  by  decisively  defeating 
Dr.  R.  L.  Morton,  '13,  in  a  36-hole 
final  match,  five  up  and  four  to  play. 
The  champion  won  his  way  to  the 
final  round  by  defeating  Prof.  George 
E.  McLaughlin,  '17;  Registrar  F.  B. 
Dilley,  and  Prof.  T.  N.  Hoover,  'O"?. 


ANEW  department  of  Speech, 
under  the  direction  of  Prof.  W. 
H.  Cooper,  has  been  formed  at  Ohio 
University.  The  work  of  the  de- 
partment will  embrace  dramatics,  de- 
bate, and  public  speaking.  Courses 
in  speech  for  talking  motion  pictures 
and  radio  will  be  offered  later.  As- 
sociated with  Professor  Cooper  will  be 
Lorin  C.  Staats, 
'26,  as  assistant 
professor  of  Pub- 
lic Speaking,  and 
Vincent  Jukes,  '30, 
as  instructor  in 
Dramatic  Produc- 
tion. 

Prof.  Harold 
Evans,  who  was 
head  of  the  Dra- 
matics department 
known  as  The 
Playshop,  has  re- 
signed to  resume 
study  in  his  field. 


O' 


As  its  part  in  observing  National 
College  Song  Week,  Oct.  3-10, 
Ohio  University  learned  and  sang  a 
new  university  hymn,  the  words  of 
which  are  ascribed  to  "Anonymous," 
while  the  music  has  been  adapted,  by 
Prof.  C.  C.  Robinson,  from  a  Brahms 
sonata. 

Another  fine  contribution  to  cam- 
pus music  was  made  on  Oct.  19,  when 
the  100-piece  Ohio  University  Band, 
under  its  director.  Prof.  Curtis  Jans- 
sen,  presented  the  stirring  "March  of 
the  Fighting  Bobcats." 


The  New  South  Bridge  Over  The  Hockinc.  River 


ALTHOUGH  the  university  en- 
rollment shows  a  gain  over  last 
year,  a  decided  drop  in  the  number  of 
men  and  women  pledged  to  fraterni- 
ties and  sororities  is  reported  this  fall. 
A  decrease  of  ninety  in  the  ranks  of 
the  men  has  been  noted,  while  an  even 
greater  loss,  110,  has  been  sustained 
by  the  women's  organizations.  Hard 
times  seems  to  be  the  explanation. 


N  June  20, 
St,  the  de- 
gree of  Docteur 
d"  Universite  was 
conferred  upon 
Miss  Mary  T. 
Noss  by  the  University  of  Paris,  more 
popularly  known  as  The  Sorbonne. 
Miss  Noss,  professor  of  French  at 
Ohio  University,  was  graduated  with 
highest  honors,  having  made  one  of 
the  most  brilliant  records  ever  estab- 
lished by  an  American  in  this  famous 
French  institution.  She  was  on  leave 
from  faculty  duties  last  year. 


ENROLLMENT  in  the  eighteen 
night  and  Saturday  classes  has 
reached  a  total  of  2^  students,  ac- 
cording to  Dr.  S.  H.  Bing,  Extension 
Study  director.  Resident  credit  is 
given  to  students  who  meet  the  uni- 
versity entrance  requirements,  while 
those  not  desiring  university  credit 
may  register  as  auditors,  or  "listeners." 


TWO  hundred  fifty  new  volumes, 
costing  approximately  $1,200, 
have  recently  been  added  to  the  Ed- 
win Watts  Chubb  Library.  A  list 
of  titles  shows  that  the  books  were 
selected  for  almost  every  field  of  the 
university  curriculum.  The  present 
size  of  the  library  collection  is  81,477 
volumes.  There  is  stack  and  shelf 
room  for  250,000  books. 


THE      OHIO      ALUMNUS 


Fighting  Bobcats  Sink  Navy  as  Prelim 
To  Battle  for  Another  Buckeye  Title 


By  C.  D.  DENSMORE,  '32 


SPORTS  columns  in  this  initial  Ohio  Alumnus  for  1932 
deserve  to  be  dedicated  to  eastern  alumni  who  played 
no  little  part  in  Ohio  University's  14-0  scuttling  of  the 
Navy  at  Annapolis,  Oct.  I'i. 

Each  month  following  the  announcement  in  19.il  of 
the  scheduled  battle,  eastern  alumni  had  made  plans  for 
the  Bobcat's  first  long  trek  since  1921.  Football  fans 
studied  the  performances  of  each  team  and  offered  up  a 
silent  prayer  that  their  alma  mater  would  win.  The 
support  of  Ohio  graduates  in  the  east  was  commendable, 
the  hospitality  of  Washington  alumni  will  be  remembered 
for  a  long  time,  and  Coach  Peden's  pack  of  Bobcats  did 
the  rest. 

Just  as  the  Athenians  of  old  destroyed  the  ships  of 
the  Persians  and  drove  the  enemy  sailors  into  the  sea, 
so  did  Ohio's  band  of  warriors  meet  the  Tars  and  leave 
the  Navy  sunk.  Harold  Brown,  Henry  Corradini,  and 
Leonard  Sadosky,  led  the  crew  which  won  the  Battle  of 
Annapolis.  Though  Ohio's  backfield  and  line  played 
superb  football,  the  Middies  helped  by  fumbling  away 
their  gains. 

Taking  advantage  of  Navy  mistakes,  Ohio  maneu- 
vered for  touchdowns  in  the  second  and  fourth  periods. 
Though  Navy  showed  an  edge  of  9-6  in  first  downs,  they 
never  seriously  threatened  the  Bobcat  goal.  Only  once 
during  each  half  was  Navy  able  to  invade  Ohio  territory. 
Both  of  these  advances  came  as  results  of  passes — one 
good  for  28  yards  and  the  other  for  4i. 

Ohio  took  the  vaunted  pass  attack  of  the  Middies 
and  littcrally  jammed  it  down  their  throats.  The  turn 
cf  the  battle  came  in  the  middle  of  the  second  period 
when  Eldon  Armbrust  made  a  beautiful  run-back  of 
Chung-Hoon's  punt  for  IS  yards.  From  Navy's  46-yard 
marker.  Brown  tcssed  a  spiral  to  Armbrust  on  the  10-yard 


line  and  then  the  hard-running  back  ripped  through 
center  for  five  yards.  Following  a  penalty  for  delaying 
the  game,  Brown  threw  a  short  pass  to  Corradini  on  the 
one-foot  line.     On  the  next  play  Matty  Fehn  scored. 

The  Sailors  started  the  third  period  as  if  they  were 
going  places.  But  their  spurt  was  not  long,  and  the  Bob- 
cats again  became  the  aggressors  to  hold  the  ball  in  Navy's 
territory  as  the  period  ended.  Later,  a  lateral  pass,  Sa- 
dosky to  Brown,  on  the  2  5 -yard  stripe  started  Ohio  to- 
ward a  score.  After  Brown  received  the  ball,  he  retreated 
slowly  for  nearly  1 2  yards.  The  Tars  evaded  three  pro- 
tecting linemen  to  find  Brown  fading  back  with  deliberate- 
ness  behind  a  strong  box  of  secondary  blockers.  Sud- 
denly, the  Ohio  passer  heaved  a  bullet-like  pass  over  the 
goal  line  to  Joe  Sintic. 

Now  Joe  did  not  have  an  easy  time  in  catching  that 
pass.  A  Navy  player  stood  on  either  side  of  "The  Bull" 
and  forced  him  to  leap  into  the  air.  This  play,  devised  by 
Coach  Don  Peden  the  week  before,  amazed  Navy  players 
and  supporters  and  thrilled  the  most  seasoned  sports 
writers  in  the  press  box. 

Seemingly  showing  an  improvement  in  obtaining  the 
extra  point,  Armbrust  drop-kicked  the  first  marker  and 
Sintic  kicked  from  placement  for  the  second  additional 
point.  Alertness  and  the  dogged  fighting  spirit  of  the 
Bobcats  choked  every  Navy  rally  and  made  the  Ohioans 
master  at  almost  every  turn. 

The  victory  of  the  Bobcats,  receiving  elaborate  at- 
tention among  eastern  sports  writers,  definitely  placed 
Ohio  in  national  football  limelight.  But  the  Bobcats  have 
a  harder  road  ahead  of  them  with  four  formidable  Buck- 
eye conference  teams  waiting  to  interrupt  their  march  to- 
ward a  fourth  consecutive  championship. 

History  repeated  itself  in  the  first  real  test  of  strength

for  the  1932  aggregation  when  Indiana  scored  a  7-6  vic- 
tory over  Ohio  University.  The  Bobcat  performance  was 
somewhat  better  than  in  1931,  however,  as  they  held  the 
upperhand  for  more  than  half  of  the  encounter.  The 
Green  and  White  team  was  forced  to  defend  its  own  goal 
throughout  the  first  half,  but  after  the  rest  period  entered 
the  fray  with  a  spirit  that  enabled  them  to  push  over  a 
score  before  the  period  was  four  minutes  old. 

Joe  Sintic  paved  the  way  for  the  counter  when  he 
recovered  a  fumble  by  Saluski  on  the  Hoosier  20-yard 
line.  Harold  Brown  hit  the  line  for  a  yard  and  then 
tossed  a  pass  to  Sadosky  on  Indiana's  8-yard  mark.  Sa- 
dosky  hit  the  Indiana  forward  wall  twice  to  carry  the  ball 
over  the  goal  line. 

For  the  remainder  of  the  halt,  Ohio  drove  the  ball 
toward  the  Indiana  goal,  but  was  unable  to  carry  the  pig- 
skin across.  Following  the  unimpressive  showing  against 
Rio  Grande  the  week  previous,  the  creditable  battle  with 
Indiana  tended  to  boost  Ohio's  football  stock.  Despite  a 
continual  flow  of  fresh  men  by  Coach  Hayes,  the  Hoosiers 
could  do  little  better  than  hold  the  rushes  of  the  Bobcat 
backs. 

The  Ohio  line  established  itself  in  this  encounter  as 
one  of  the  most  formidable  in  years.  Blocking  and  pass- 
ing, both  believed  to  be  woefully  weak,  had  improved  im- 
mensely. Power  and  speed  for  utilization  in  future  games 
were  seen  in  the  work  of  Leonard  Sadosky,  Eldon  Arm- 
brust,  and  Joe  Sintic  in  this  encounter. 

The  weak  eleven  from  Rio  Grande  College,  offering 
little  resistance,  succumbed  19-0  in  the  opening  game. 
Coaches  and  fans  were  greatly  disappointed  with  the  af- 
fair as  faults  were  glaringly  evident  in  nearly  every  play. 
One  thrill  of  the  contest  came  when  Armhrust,  playing 
his  first  intercollegiate  football,  scampered  72  yards  for 
a  touchdown.  He  also  accounted  for  another  touchdown 
as  did  Matty  Fehn,  while  Alex  Banko,  sophomore,  was 
credited  with  the  lone  point  made  after  touchdown. 

Almost  every  player  on  the  Ohio  squad  was  given  a 
chance  in  the  third  game  of  the  season  when  Franklin 
College  of  Indiana  proved  considerably  weaker  than  ex- 
pected. With  the  first  string  men  in  the  encounter  for 
only  five  minutes,  the  Bobcats  had  scored  20  points  in  the 
first  quarter.  Two  first  downs  and  few  chances  to  get 
beyond  midfield  was  the  best  the  Baptists  could  claim  for 
the  afternoon. 

Franklin  was  unable  to  make  much  gain  through  the 
line  and  was  content  to  stay  on  the  defense  for  most  of 


the  game.  Their  defense  was  strong  at  times,  repulsing 
several  Ohio  scoring  threats.  Though  Ohio  fans  received 
little  "kick"  from  the  Franklin  fray,  the  showing  of 
Indiana  in  holding  and  outplaying  the  highly-touted  Ohio 
State  eleven  to  a  7-7  tie  created  con.siderable  enthusiasm 
that  day. 

Ohio  meets  a  formidable  foe  in  the  Miami  Redskins 
Oct.  22.  Following  this  contest  a  home  stay  of  three 
games  is  ahead  of  the  Bobcats.  Georgetown,  newcomer 
to  the  Athens  stadium,  will  oppose  the  Pedenmen  Oct.  29. 
The  Wittenberg  Lutherans  follow  on  Nov.  5  as  the  grid- 
iron attraction  for  Homecoming.  Dads  will  be  honored 
the  following  Saturday,  Nov.  12,  with  the  Cincinnati 
Bearcats  furnishing  the  opposition  in  the  entertainment 
feature.  Closing  the  season,  the  Green  and  White  team, 
supported  by  a  trainload  of  rooters  and  the  large  Ohio 
University  band  ,will  battle  Ohio  Wesleyan  at  Delaware. 


IT  APPEARS  that  Ohio  University's  football  future  is 
not  in  serious  and  immediate  danger  since  Freshman 
Coach  William  Herbert  has  the  best  yearling  squad  that 
has  reported  here  for  many  years.  Herbert  has  one  team 
of  frosh  that  averages  almost  190  pounds  and  another  that 
is  only  about  10  pounds  lighter.  The  group  has  been 
working  against  the  varsity  this  season  and  has  made  it 
exceedingly  difficult  for  the  older  men  to  have  their  an- 
nual romp  at  the  Frosh 's  expense.  With  the  cream  of 
the  scholastic  crop  and  several  fine  gridders  who  saw  action 
in  other  schools  before  transferring,  it  looks  as  though 
Herbert  will  be  able  to  pass  on  as  fine  a  lot  of  varsity 
timber  as  has  ever  greeted  Messrs.  Peden  and  Trautwein. 


THOUGH  the  1932  Olympic  games  are  almost  for- 
gotten, the  occasion  is  not  too  old  to  speak  of  Ohio 
University's  share  in  the  international  event.  Kermit 
Blosser,  '32,  end  on  the  varsity  eleven  and  national  inter- 
collegiate wrestling  champion,  and  Arch  Keller,  '34,  one 
of  Coach  Olson's  mainstays,  were  eliminated  in  the  final 
rounds  of  the  Olympic  tryouts  at  Columbus  last  July. 
In  winning  their  way  to  the  last  stages,  the  two  Ohio 
grapplers  defeated  some  of  the  nation's  best. 

Last  May,  m  face  of  the  strongest  opposition,  Blosser 
fought  his  way  to  the  national  intercollegiate  title  in  the 
191 -pound  class  at  Bloomington,  Ind.  Keller  and  Joe 
Sintic,  in  addition  to  Blosser,  represented  Ohio  at  the  in- 
tercollegiates.  Blosser  is  now  coaching  at  Glouster,  Ohio.

THE      OHIO      ALUMNUS 


Judge  Jones 


Thomas  A.  Jones,  Jurist  on 

Supreme  Court,  Is  Ohio  Man 

Judge  Thomas  A.  Jones,  "81,  of 
Jackson,  is  a  candidate  for  reelection, 
November  8,  to  a  place  on  the  bench 
of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  State  of 
Ohio.  Judge 
Jones  IS  the  only 
Ohioan  who  has 
held  membership 
in  the  state's  high 
court  in  recent 
years. 

He  received 
the  A.  B.  degree 
in  1881  and  the 
M.  A.  degree  in 
1903.  In  1919 
the  honorary  de- 
gree of  Doctor  of 
Laws  was  conferred  upon  him  by  his 
alma  mater. 

In  1886,  Judge  Jones  married  Miss 
Grace  V.  Hoyt,  an  Athens  girl  and  a 
student  in  the  University.  The  cere- 
mony was  performed  by  Rev.  Dr.  W. 
H.  Scott,  "62,  former  president  of 
Ohio  University.  The  jurist  and  his 
wife  have  four  children,  all  living,  two 
of  whom  Grace  Hoyt  and  Tom — at- 
tended their  father's  school.  Tom 
was  a  member  of  an  Ohio  football 
squad  and  later  was  captain  of  a  grid- 
iron team  at  Ohio  State  University. 

While  in  college  Judge  Jones  was  a 
member  of  the  Athenian  Literary  So- 
ciety and  represented  the  university, 
as  orator,  in  an  intercollegiate  contest. 
Before  being  elevated  to  the  Supreme 
Court  he  served  on  the  Fourth  Dis- 
trict Court  of  Appeals.  His  integrity 
and  judicial  ability  are  generally  rec- 
ognized by  the  bench  and  bar  of  the 
State. 


Death  Comes  to  a  Nationally 
Prominent  Educator  in  Omaha 

Dr.  John  H.  Beveridge,  "97,  for 
fifteen  years  superintendent  of  public 
schools  m  Omaha,  Nebraska,  died  in 
an  Omaha  hospital  October  12,  as  the 
result  of  an  acute  bronchial  infection 
followed  by  a  heart  ailment.  He  is 
survived  by  a  daughter  and  a  son. 

In  addition  to  the  degree  of  Bach- 
elor of  Pedagogy,  Mr.  Beveridge  re- 
ceived the  Master  of  Arts  degree  (in 
course)  at  Ohio  University  in  1915. 
The  honorary  degree  of  Doctor  of 
Pedagogy  was  conferred  upon  him  by 
his  alma  mater  in  1917.  He  was 
elected  to  alumni  membership  in  Ohio 


University's  chapter  of  Phi  Beta  Kap- 
pa in  1929. 

Doctor  Beveridge  was  a  former 
president  of  the  Iowa  State  Teachers 
Association,  the  Nebraska  State 
Teachers  Association,  and  the  Depart- 
ment of  Superintendence  of  the  Na- 
tional Education  Association.  He  was 
a  member  of  the  National  Committee 
of  the  Boy  Scouts  of  America.  As  a 
lecturer  he  had  been  on  the  summer 
school  faculties  of  a  number  of  uni- 
versities, among  which  were  Chicago, 
Columbia,  Nebraska  State,  and  Iowa 
State.  In  1923  he  was  seriously  con- 
sidered for  the  position  of  superin- 
tendent of  schools  in  San  Francisco.

group  had  as  its  headquarters  Ban- 
croft Hall,  home  of  the  Midshipmen 
and  largest  dormitory  in  the  world. 
After  a  reception  by  Naval  Academy 
officials  and  the  Navy  team,  the  Bob- 
cats attended  a  theater  party  given  by 
an  Annapolis  theater-owner. 

More  than  five  hundred  tickets 
were  sold  for  seats  in  the  Ohio  sec- 
tion at  Farragut  Field.  That  these 
seats  were  filled  with  loyal  and  voci- 
ferous Bobcat  followers  is  attested  by 
a  member  of  the  team  who  declared 
that  the  Ohio  cheering  seemed  much 
louder  to  him  than  that  coming  from 
the  1,800  Midshipmen. 

The  Navy  goat,  '"Bill,"  although 
washed  and  dressed  up  for  the  oc- 
casion, was  both  visually  and  olfac- 
torily  in  evidence — which  is  proof 
that  a  goat  just  can't  help  being  a 
goat.  Or  can  he?  At  any  rate, 
"Bill  "  was  calmly  oblivious  to  the 
much  advertised  fact  that  there  are 
some  things  that  not  even  one's  best 
friends  will  tell  about.

This  distinguished  educator  has  a

Modern  youth,  so  oft  the  recipient  of 
caustic  criticism,  is  no  worse  than  its 
predecessors — possibly  no  better,  but 
certainly  no  worse.  That,  in  brief,  is 
the  opinion  of  one  whose  intimate  as- 
sociation with  many  thousands  of  col- 
lege students  has  afforded  him  ample 
opportunity  to  observe  and  to  appraise 
young  men  and  young  women. 


Surgeons  Wield  Scalpels  on 
Grads  During  Summer  Months 

Have  you  had  your  operation  yet? 
No?  Then  you're  not  in  the  swim. 
The  following  Ohioans  have  been  hos- 
pitalized at  some  time  or  other  during 
the  past  summer.  The  operations 
ranged  in  seriousness  from  the  com- 
paratively minor  to  the  extremely 
major  varieties,  with  the  appendec- 
tomies predominating. 

The  victims:  Mrs.  Richard  Mc- 
Kinstry  (Mary  Poston,  '23);  Kathryn 
Wilson,  '32;  Mrs.  Harry  Young 
(Florence  Hickman,  '31x);  Mrs. 
Gwynn  Sanders  (Helen  Kittle,  "29,

E.  Jewett,  '18;  Floride  Sprague,  '31; 
Mrs.  Norman  Lefler  (Esther  Harris, 
'32x);  Mrs.  Rolland  S.  Jones  (Eleanor 
Brown,  '28x) ;  Alexander  Root,  '13; 
and  Dr.  W.  B.  Bentley  and  Prof. 
Victor  D.  Hill,  faculty  members. 


Class  oF  1932  Is  Largest 

(Continued  from  page  7) 

The  Commencement  Picnic,  attend- 
ed by  1,100  graduates,  seniors,  faculty 
members,  and  University  friends  was, 
as  usual,  the  reunion  high  light  of  the 
three-day  program. 

For  the  annual  Commencement 
Play  was  substituted  this  year  an  un- 
satisfactory performance  of  "Ex- 
posures of  1932,"  a  revue  type  of 
show.  It  is  anticipated  that  next  year 
a  return  will  be  made  to  the  high  level 
of  past  commencement  plays  when 
Shakespeare's  Hamlet  will  be  a  Play- 
shop  presentation. 

George  E.  Mills,  "27,  and  Miss 
Harriett  Rogers,  member  of  the 
Women's  Physical  Education  faculty 
who  resigned  in  June,  were  winners, 
respectively,  in  the  Alumni  and 
Alumnae  Golf  Tournaments.  Mills 
won  with  a  low  net  score  of  65.  Miss 
Rogers  turned  in  a  low  net  of  79. 
Both  winners  were  awarded  handsome 
silver  cups  to  be  retained  for  one  year. 

Graduation  exercises  for  the  Au- 
gust division  of  the  1932  class  were 
held  August  12,  with  Dr.  Charles 
McKenny,  president  of  the  Ypsilanti 
(Mich.)  State  Teachers  College,  as 
the  commencement  speaker.  At  this 
time  102  four-year  degrees  were 
awarded  and  an  even  one  hundred 
two-year  diplomas  were  granted. 

Lucille  Naylor,  "3  2,  Lima  teacher,  who 
was  granted  a  leave  of  absence  to  complete 
her  university  work,  was  graduated  in 
August   "with  highest  honor."

Here  and  There  Among  the  Alumni 


Ovid  M.  McMillion,  '30,  who  teaches 
ill  die  "farthest  north  high  school  in  North 
America,"  at  Fairbanks,  Alaska,  has  re- 
ported a  most  interesting  stmimer  vacation. 
In  a  letter  to  the  Alumni  Office  he  says, 
"I  completed  my  vacation  by  purchasing  a 
fourteen-foot  rowboat  and,  in  company 
with  another  fellow,  made  the  7()0-milc 
trip  from  Dawson  to  Tanana,  drilting 
within  the  arctic  circle  and  out  again, 
visiting  Indian  villages  and  trading  posts 
en  route.  Moose,  caribou,  bear,  ducks, 
and  geese  were  very  plentiful."  Prior  to 
the  boat  trip  "Mac"  went  to  the  head- 
waters of  the  Tanana  River  with  an  old 
prospector.  But  alas,  reports  this  farthest 
north  alumnus,  no  bright,  shiny  nuggets 
were  discovered. 

Dr.  Walter  L.  Crui.sc,  "23,  Zanesvillc, 
sailed  Sept.  25,  aboard  the  S.  S.  Europa, 
for  Vienna  and  Budapest  where  he  plans 
to  pursue  post  graduate  work  in  surgery, 
devoting  from  six  months  to  a  year  to  the 
course.  Upon  completion  of  his  work  he 
will  return  to  the  practice  of  his  profession 
in  Zanesville  where  he  has  been  located 
for  the  last  seven  years. 

Charles  Greenbaum,  '32,  a  Pre-Law  stLi-

time  received  the  A.  B.  degree  from  Ohio 
University  under  the  arrangement  permit- 
ting Pre-Law  and  Pre-Medical  students  to 
receive  degrees  following  three  years  ol 
work  at  Ohio  University  and  the  satisfac- 
tory completion  of  the  first  year  in  a  pro- 
fessional school.  Charlie  has  been  as-

the  latter's  mother.  Doctor  Wilcox  has 
shown  promise  of  a  very  successful  career 
in  medicine  and  his  friends  are  hoping  for 
an  early  recovery  from  an  ailment  which 
has  baffled  experts  at  diagnosis. 

Lyston  Fultz,  '27,  a  teacher  in  the

The  resignation  of  Helen  Dorst,  '28,  as 
instructor  in  Home  Economics  in  the 
Middleport  High  School  was  followed  by 
the  selection  of  Lena  Mae  Pels,  '2.'i,  to 
till  the  vacancy  created.  Miss  Pels  has 
had  several  years  teaching  experience  in 
Bellaire  and   Cleveland   schools.
