Kent State Normal College The winds whispered it to the dandelion and tall grasses, and they in turn told it to the twigs and branches of the oak. The oak whispered it to the maple and chestnut; and they, as though in anger, rustled their leaves as though sound- ing the signal for the gathering together and preparation of all their forces for a mighty battle. The wind carried upon its bosom an angry sea of protest, now blowing gently as if trying to soothe Normal Hill, now howling and shrieking as though in sympathy. The oak, pine, chestnut, dandelion and honeysuckle vine bent and swayed as the storm launched with all its fury, on a tossing, restless sea. All night long, this wooded hilltop continued to sob and moan aloud that man would dare to interrupt its sleep of a thousand years. But whether it was the wind or by the will of a Higher Power, someway, somehow, when the sun had kissed the dawn to rosy hue, it found this forest primeval, with all the dignity and stateliness of her former glory, ready to bend to the will of man, and ready to off er herself as a sacrifice upon the altar of education that the teachers of the state of Ohio might progress. Thus, today, we see four yellow brick buildings, peeping from beneath the treetops crowning Normal Hill. Instead of the path worn hard by the settlers ' cattle, is a curving driveway, up which the merry chug-chug of the normal bus can be heard as it carries passengers to and fro. Today, K. S. N. is but a babe in its cradle of infancy. Tomorrow, her fame will be spread broadcast; and in future years, when her glory is on the brink of life ' s setting sun, I can see the mighty walls and dome of K. S. N. rise gradually above us, isolated from the rest of the world by the solitude of their surroundings, and standing out against the evening sky as solemn as a vision of antiquity. Slowly the setting sun turns the vast river of leaves of the oaks and elms into a glittering pavement. Through the ruined dome of K. S. N. College, it flings the ruddy glow of a conflagration, tinging it with that soft vermilion blush which only the western sun can bestow upon these buildings of the past. In that golden twilight, the harsh outlines of its walls grow soft and mellow until the many scars inflicted there by time and man are all concealed; and glittering in the saffron west, the dear old K. S. N. looks like a vast mount of gold in which the glory of a golden past lies entombed. K. M. Shafer.
