Steigner j Miriam B. Lister Business Manager Jforetoorb We send this book aiming you, realizing that it probably contains mistakes. But we have done our best — therefore, we offer no apologies. We have not endeavored to produce a work distinguished for its artistic merit ; our purpose has been to prepare for you a compilation of pictures and records which shall be of some definite service to you in years to come. The late beginning of the fall term, the discon- tinuance of Assembly during the process of redecorating the auditorium, and the apathy of many in the matter j{ furnishing us with their photographs, have been obstacles difficult to surmount. The first two were, ot course, unavoidable; the last was entirely unnecessary. To those who, either actively or passively, have hindered us in our work, and who have made our task far more arduous than it should have been, we extend complete forgiveness. To those who have helped us by their co- operation and words of encouragement, we are grateful to a degree inexpressible in words. We are glad to have served you. We have tried to serve you well. If. at some future time, beneath the evening lamp, by some quiet fireside, these pages bring to you memories of those friends and events from which Time has .separated you — such is Time ' s way! — our labors shall have been fully justified. 7 ' h ret + TNWT-ewaa tKable of Contents Page Campus 11 Faculty 17 Senior Degree Class 37 Senior Diploma Class 45 Degree Undergraduates 69 Juniors 83 Organizations 97 Fraternities 113 Athletics 117 Happenings 129 Chestnut Burr Staff 136 Jokes and Advertisements 13 Four CH4b6TNWT-6Waa VLo Greater Hent tate toe betricate all tfcat map be of toort!) in ttiis bolumc W.

IVINS, Chairman Four Year Course Committee. It is a matter of great importance to the friends of Kent State to learn that one ot last year ' s graduates, Lauramarie VVegmau, who secured her B.S. in Education, has just been granted her admission card to the graduate school of the University ot Chicago. This admission is granted without any condition in the way of an ex- amination, work to be made up, or a probationary period. Her splendid record at Kent State was appreciated by the University ot Chicago officials. Her admission to the graduate school of Chicago is a deserved recognition. It also places Kent State in a splendid position among the colleges of the country that are now granting the B.S. Degree in Education. The graduates of the four year course are making a success in the high schools. Many are occupying good positions as school superintendents, principals of elementary schools, principals of high schools, as well as teachers of high school subjects. The demand for high school teachers in Ohio is greater than the supply. This state is required annually to secure hundreds of high school teachers from other states. The demand is still increasing because junior high school principals are now requir- ing teachers of the 7th, 8th, and 9th grades to have degrees. It is only a question of time until junior high schools will be classified by the State Department of Education the same as senior high schools are at the present time. When one studies the list of graduates of the two year course at Kent State, he is impressed with the large number of excellent teachers who should be working on the third and fourth year of the college course, if these graduates who now have 96 term hours or 24 credits, would secure a total of 192 term hours they could receive the B.S. Degree in Education. This would mean 96 term hours of work in addition to what they already have, which can be taken in any quarter of the school year. In other words, all the work a two year graduate already has recorded, will count on the four year course. Many of Kent State ' s two year graduates are now working on the four year course. During the summer of 1922, 46 were so registered. During the summer of 1923, 276 were working on the degree. These figures indicate the tendency. A much larger number will take degree work during the summer of 1924 than in 1923. Between one-fourth and one-third of the present enrollments at Kent State are in the four year course. Almost the entire freshman class who entered the college depart- ment October 1, 1923, are planning to take four years of straight college work. A small percentage of these will have their programs so arranged each term that it will be possible, if they find it necessary, for them to secure sufficient normal work the first two years to obtain the normal diploma and begin teaching at that time. The final plan of those in the four year course who take the diploma in two years will be to return later for the third and fourth year of the degree course. A degree student must have a major containing at least 36 term hours in one depart- ment and a minor of 24 term hours in another department. If the major is in the department of Education, then the student must take two minors. The required Education which was taken to secure the Elementary Certificate is counted in making up the requirement for the high school certificate. The degree student in addition to completing the major and minor requirement, and the educational work for the high school certificate, must also secure 12 term hours in the Social Science Group, 12 term hours in the English Group, 12 term hours in the Science Group and 12 term hours in the Industrial and Fine Arts Group. After com- pleting all these requirements a student still has opportunity to take additional courses in any department he desires to make the total 192 term hours. The Senior class taking the four year course this year will be the largest in the school ' s history. Students desiring further information concerning the four year course should write to the college at once. If any person has an official transcript of credits from another college, it should be sent to us, after which we will inform the student what additional work is required for the B.S. Degree from Kent State. Credit slips should not be sent in any case as the college is required to have the official transcript signed by the Regis- trar to give an official rating.

It is the first organization of its kind in our college, as its membership is drawn from both the student body and the faculty. The Council meets twice a month to con- sider ways of co-ordinating and guiding the activities of the student body, and to initiate new forms of activity on the campus. On March twentieth, the Council was presented by Dr. McGilvrey to the college, at a regular assembly. Each member of the Council spoke on some one phase of work to be undertaken. The new organization ought to prove of great value in promoting a Greater Kent State. Ninety-eight NWT-6WRR Tweedie Deming Andrews K. Thompson Daugherty Warren Hahn Gibson Woodard tEfje Somen ' s! league This is the one college society to which every woman in Kent State belongs. The League arranges for one all-college dance each term, and for a tea dance after each registration during the college year. The tea dances are in connection with the Big Sister organization, which the League has in charge, and has this year reorganized. The League gives the reception and dance in honor of the college guests at Home Coming. Besides the social events, the League puts on a definite number ot assembly programs during the year, ' one of them being the Arbor Day pro- gram, with the planting of a tree by the League on the campus. It also holds itself responsible for certain parts of the Campus Night program. The League has only one policy — the greatest service possible to all the women ot the college, and the building up of a stronger college spirit. Ninety-nine H S w : ■ ■s 1 ;:. ' _____ __ 0;u ' Hundred TNWT-eWRa Etc Mtris Union of ent £ tate Organization has come to he the keynote of the twentieth century. Political candidates intrench themselves behind the bulwarks of organiza- tion — Parties. Business men have augmented their powers for the accumula- tion of the world ' s goods by the most intensive, as well as extensive organiza- tions — companies and corporations. Last, but not least, student leaders have become aware of the infinite possibilities for the advancement of Kent State athletics and a greater college spirit, which are inherent in a co-ordination of functioning units. Truly this suffices to show that the handing together of Kent State men, who are willing to give themselves to great tasks which are facing our school today, is in accord with the trend of the times. Every man who enrolls in the college automatically becomes a member of the Men ' s Union. Although it is not bound together by any written constitution or other document, this group is held together by a singleness of purpose, which finds expression in its slogan: A Better and Greater Kent State College.

In its early years it was a four-page weekly published by the English 12 classes and printed in the College printing room. On stated occasions only did it assume a larger size. As the years passed, the paper ceased to be a four-page weekly and became a twenty-four page booklet, published about every six weeks. These publications are of such immensity that the work no longer is done in the College printing room, but is taken care of by outside publishing houses. In 1922-1923 each number had a characteristic cover design appropriate for each of the several occasions, but in the present year a plain standard cover has been adopted. The expense of publishing ' The Kentonian is met partly by its sub- scription price and partly by the student activity fund. The subscription price, however, has been greatly reduced since the earliest publications o. the paper. Originally a subscription cost $1.50 per year. Today one may receive the entire year ' s publication for 50c. In its early days the paper circulated only among the students of the College. Today it is sent far and wide to members of our Alumni. Approxi- mately two thousand copies of The Greater Kent State number were dis- tributed. This resume gives one the historical background of our College paper which is now a regular publication of our institution. It is contributed to by bur entire student body, arranged by the present members of th . staff, and printed by the Schueneman Printing Company of Akron, Ohio. The Kentonian Staff Editor-in-Cliief E.

Ctje Hent College Press The Kent College Press is a publication that speeds up by subtle sarcasm and naive witticisms the slow and stagnant inertia of dying ambitions moving sluggishly in the college student. The college press is a medium whereby the necessary facts in regard to modern life are delicately filtered through the brains of all classes — the ignorant and illiterate along with the heady and the wise. Being a forerunner of a college of Journalism its greatness and im- portance can not be overestimated. It is the medium through which the student mav express himself in a free and easy manner that springs from the heart. t is distinctly a student publication and its most valid claim for recogni- tion is the Red Flame.

It is under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. that the Christmas Carol singing has been conducted for the last two years. Much interest has been shown in working for the Caney Creek Com- munity Center, at Pippapass, Kentucky. Several boxes were sent there for Christmas. Kent State sent several representatives to the Y Conference at Lake Erie College, Painsville, Ohio, in April, 1923. Miss Marie Young and Miss Eloise Chamberlain were sent to the Y. W. C. A. Sectional Conference at Eaglesmere, Pennsylvania, in June, 1923. Miss Laura Richardson and Miss Nina Chapman attended the W Conference at Wooster College, March, 1924. Of special interest to all members is the Candle Light Service in March, when the officers for the new year are installed.

OFF-CAMPUS GIRLS 0uv Womtn i£ tubentg The women students of Kent State are diversified and unified in their several organizations. Each woman is a member of one of the lesser groups, according to where she lives during her college course. If she lives in one of the dormitories, then she is a member of the Lowry group or the Moulton group. If she lives at home, or rooms in a private family in Kent, then she is a member of the Off Campus group. Each one of these groups is thoroughly organized, and arranges for a certain definite number of activities, chieflv social. Naturally the women students make most of their friendships within the lesser groups to which they may belong. There are. however, abundant opportunities for all the women students to meet those outside these smaller groups. In their class rooms, on the athletic teams, in the Y. W. C. A., in the college assemblies, and at the all college parties, women meet and know those who do not live in their own residence groups. Furthermore, there is an organization of all the women of the college — the Women ' s League. Every woman automatically becomes a member of this society when she registers in the college. It is through this League that the Big Sister organization is being developed in Kent State. A few intimate friends, well chosen, are. indeed, a priceless boon in any young woman ' s life; but a wide acquaintance with many young women is in itself most educative. ( Ipportunities for enriching one ' s life in both these ways are open to the women students of Kent Stale.

Where do the various committees go for posters, or for advice on decora- tions? The art classes are always ready to do their bit in making dances and entertainments successful through their advertising abilities. We have our good times together. Our visits to the art museums are always enjoyable. Our visit to the Cleveland art museum proved doubly entertaining through the generous efforts of Mr. Howard of the Cleveland School of Education. He was a very interesting guide; the pictures took on new meaning through his interpretation. Our picnics are happy affairs. The lunches are especially tasty when packed in the baskets which we have made and decorated with our own hands. One Hundred Eight CH J ome economics The department of Home Economics of Kent State is truly living up to its standard in the economizing of material, time, and talent. People are at last realizing the value of a course in this department. Besides the Special students training in the subject; fully two-thirds of the graduates of the other departments have elected courses in Hume Economics during the past year. A guest at one of the luncheons given by the .n ' irls of the department finds the girls not only capable of serving a well-planned meal, hut also well versed in the art of receiving and entertaining. The clothing exhibit and reception at Homecoming showed the results achieved in the work of the department. One afternoon in April, the girls of the Home Economics Department, under the direction of .Miss Xixson. gave a combination bridge-party and dance. The proceeds of the affair were handed over to the Chestnut Burr- without any solicitation whatever on the part of the staff. Such deeds as this spring from that spirit of co-operation and unselfish- ness for which Kent State ' is striving. The Chestnut Burr gladly tenders the Home Economics Department this slight recognition. One llmii rr-d Nine Special Jflusic H tut ent£ The Music Department was fortunate in having an exceptionally large and strong class of special students this year. The classes are growing and each year shows a decided increase in both numbers and quality. The work in piano and voice has been unusually good and the students of the group have made the music of the Assembly programs both pleasing and entertaining. The combined classes have sung at Assembly and have furnished music for the Baccalaureate program and for the Music programs of the Music- Department. Voice and piano recitals in class have been interesting features of the class work. Seniors: — Mary Helen Squires, Rosetta O ' Connor, Ruth Hunter, Katlierine Chan- man, Thelma Proehl, Sonia Gold.

One Hundred Ten (green Stockings Green Stockings, given April fourth under the auspices of the annual board, is a clever English comedy. The heroine, tired of being patronized, invents a lover for herself. But, so strange are the workings of Fate, the very man whom Celia thinks she has invented, actually exists.

Lister One llunJri-tl Eleven department of Extension By Lester S. Ivins, Director The Extension Department of Kent State College was organized very soon after the establishment of the college. The regular instructors began teaching college subjects in the field before the buildings were completed on the campus. This plan very quickly built up a large and efficient Department of Extension. Few colleges in the country have given teachers in service better opportunities to gain professional credit than has Kent State. Superintendents of Schools attribute a large part of the professional spirit of teachers who teach in Northeastern Ohio to the extension work which has been provided by the institution at Kent. These Superintendents point out the fact that summer school work alone is not sufficient. They say teach- ers do better when pursuing a regular course of study while teaching. This last winter the Department of Extension established a Bureau of Lecture Service. Many of the regular faculty members have consented to accept speaking engagements in Kent territory. The Department is prepared to mail to any interested person a list of the names of the faculty members and the subjects upon which they are willing to speak. The purpose of Kent State from the beginning, has been to offer every possible opportunity for educational advancement to teachers in the field. If a group applies for an extension center during the late summer quarter or very early in September, the institution makes an effort to send an in- structor to this center. If a sufficient number cannot be secured, those in- terested are informed they can secure work through the Home Study Depart- ment. The regular instructors who are full time extension men are at present Prof. S. A. Harbourt and Prof. D. W. Pearce. Both of these men are very competent instructors and capable of giving high class work to persons interested in extension. We suggest that persons who are interested in ex- tension work to secure credits for the diploma or for the degree during the coming school year call at the office at Kent State, or write the college or the Director for full information.

You and 1 come here day after day and we see each other, and see our instructors, but, unless we are here at Home Coming time, we see but few of the alumni. Thus it is only natural that we should get the idea that the alumni of our college are almost an unknown quantity. Just because we do not see them, however, does not prove that there is no such body. Let me prove to you that there is a great body of Kent State College alumni, and that it is a most influential factor. Since this college was established in 1913, it has graduated 1,623 students. These are the alumni proper of our college — the real graduates of Kent State. Besides these there is that multitude of students, totaling almost 20,003 ' , who have been enrolled here at some time or other but have not yet completed their courses. These are also sometimes called the alumni. Nearly all these people are at work in the field of education, — those who have graduated and those who still look forward to that honor. They are showing to the state of Ohio, and to other states of the Union, what Kent State College really is. The public judges an institution by its representatives. Kent State stands or falls, lives or dies, by the type of teacher it sends out. These teachers gain new ideas through experience and are able to criticize the methods and policies of this college and to offer suggestions for its improve- ment. In the past the alumni of our college have not been as active as the alumni of some other colleges, especially of private and religious institutions. This may be due to the fact that our alumni members have not been called upon for financial support, or it may be because they have felt that they had no agency within the college, through which they could operate. We want them to feel that here is a medium through which their wishes and sugges- tions may be made known. Soon you, too, will be alumni. We want you to feel that here is always a council and that through it you may be in close touch with the college. Come back often and feel free to write to the council at any time. For here is a long needed organization in which faculty, alumni and student body will find a medium through which their wishes may materialize. This council can become great only in so far as it is used. We firmly believe it has within its pow ers and possibilities the making: of that some- thins - to which we all look forward with eagerness — A GREATER KENT STATE. By MABEL C. BERNS.

Action of the Board is subject at all times to the approval of the President.

It is the one game which seems to have a general appeal to the student body and it is in this sport that the Blue and Gold has written the most cherished pages of its athletic history. While the season of 1923 was not a complete success in respect to games won and lost, the squad was the largest in history and competition for posi- tions on the first nine was very keen. Early season practice was hampered somewhat by the improvements made on Rockwell Field, but the team finally struck its stride and closed the schedule with a very creditable showing. Coach Paul G. Chandler directed the play of the team mi the diamond while Elmer P. Steigner attended to the managerial duties. One Ilitm ret Twenty One Hundred Twenty-two Jfootball Victory is not essential to success! Hannibal, une of history ' s greatest military leaders, never achieved victory, but his heroic efforts earned him an enviable place in the Hall of Success. This is by way of introducing the 1923 football season at Kent State, the record of which shows no victories, but a season which may well be con- sidered the most successful in school history. There are many reasons why Kent State was not victorious on the grid- iron during the past year. The squad was small and without experience. The starting of school one month later than usual prevented the all-important conditioning period. The team that was coached to start the season was early riddled by injuries and withdrawals. Light and inexperienced, the Blue and Gold was forced to meet on the gridiron some of the most formidable elevens in the Ohio Conference. Please don ' t misinterpret: thi s is not written as a defense — the 1923 Kent State football team needs no defense. Whatever may have been Coach Harsh ' s contributions in his first year at the helm of Kent State football, there is no gainsaying that the greatest was FIGHT. Bruised, battered and beaten, Kent State ' s gallant warriors of the moleskin never relinquished that FIGHT ' ' and they were battling in the last minute of the last game with a spirit that augurs nothing but victory in the future. The Silver Foxes of 1923 gave to their school its first touchdown, but they also gave something infinitely more than that. They created a fighting spirit that will live — an undying determination that will make the football record at Kent State in the future a thing of joy. All hail the season of 1923 which witnessed the birth of an unconquerable spirit! Honor the players of 1923 and enshrine them in memory ' s treasure- house !

When the clarion call to conquest was sent forth last fall by coach Harsh, fifteen basketballers answered — three letter-men and a dozen other aspirants. Using the three letter-men as a nucleus, the coach built up a strong, lithe basketball squad of ten. Howard Evans joined the forces late in the season, increasing the number of letter-men to four, and incidentally strengthening the team by an additional forward. Early in the season, the K men on the squad selected Glenn Francis captain for 1924. In previous seasons most of the games were played out of town, but this year the majority of them were played on the home floor. The usual line- up was: Evans, Rogers or Peterka in the forward positions, Peterka or Rogers, center, with Schroeder and Feely as guards, — replacements were made with Jennings, Brown and Youngen. All games on the regular schedule — for the most part with Ohio Con- ference teams — were well played. The high-lights of the season were the defeat of our old rival, West Virginia, and the annexation of the City Cham- One Hundred Twenty-six pionship. In the games for the championship, our boys defeated the PerfeC ' tion Dairies. 35 to 23, Davey Institute 34 to 14 and again 13 to 9. None of this year ' s team will he graduated in June. This fact un- doubtedly will make the Kent State five doubly strong next year. f)e jgext g tep Now and then someone expresses regret that Kent is not like some other college or university in this, that or some other particular. One will say, for example. Look at such a college! or Why can ' t we be like Rah Rah University? or Where are our traditions? Just to please such individuals suppose we do look. Pick that fine old university at Miami for example. We do find a finished college. — but do not forget that Miami is 130 years old, more or less, while Kent is in the earl} ' teens, just a kid among colleges. Look in other directions, if you like, and you will find colleges with more traditions, better plants, more organization in Athletics, etc. ; but a gain remember that fourteen years ago what is now Kent State College was a wooded hillside where woodchucks sunned them- selves on pleasant days and cattle grazed without interruption. Remember that Kent has grown from a mere idea to one of the greatest of the teachers colleges in these few years. With 1924 a new epoch in the glorious history of our college is to start. A new gymnasium, second to none in Ohio, will be ready for use and a new course — four years in Physical Training and Health Education leading to a degree — will be offered. A special faculty will be employed for this course and eventually a group of several hundred students will be enrolled. If these things do not stir your imagination it is very likely you are not blessed with such a thing and. if this be the case, it perhaps would be well for you to follow the trail of Rip Van Winkle and sleep twenty years. When you come back and look at Kent State you will find one of the great schools of the Nation; but. instead of saying with pride My Kent State. you will be counted among those spectators who lacked faith. On? llumlrrtl Twenty-seven 3ntramural gttjleticg Believing that athletics for the many is far superior to athletics for the few, Kent State, during the past year, has carried out an extensive intra- mural program. Under the supervision of Frank N. Harsh, new director of Physical Edu- cation for Men, the following schedule of sports has been used: Autumn- football, speedball, cross-country, indoor baseball and basketball ; Winter — basketball, foul shooting, indoor track and volley ball ; Spring — recreation ball, baseball, horse-shoe pitching, tennis and outdoor track. Other sports such as bowling, boxing and wrestling were included in the original program, but had to be eliminated because of inadequate gym- nasium facilities and the lack of funds to cover the cost of instruction. In order to intensify interest in this work, Director Harsh provided friend- ly rivalry by dividing the men of the school into two groups — Renters and Staters. Pascjual Carlozzi was elected to lead the Renters while Paul Spang- ler was chosen to captain the Staters. The Renters were victorious in speedball but the Staters won the tug- of-war contest and also finished first in football and indoor baseball. Honors were divided in the cross country run. Despite the handicaps incident to organization and the insufficiency of gymnasium space, the Department of Physical Education for Men has made a remarkable record during its first year. During the past year more than eighty-five per cent of the men students enrolled in school have taken part in some kind of athletic sports. With a new gymnasium the future development of this important phase of college activities is aglow with promise.

One Hundred Thirty-three tgt) £igf)t£iof 1924 VALENTINE PARTY The Off Campus Club gave a Valentine Party February ninth in the Music Room in Moulton Hall. The unique feature of the party was the grand march which occurred in the middle of the dance. It was led by two Valentines. The reception line consisted of Miss Verder, Mr. and Mrs. Stopher, Mr. and Mrs. Manchester and Miss Neva Williams. COLONIAL PARTY The most picturesque party of the year was the annual Colonial Party given by the Y. W. C- A. on February sixteenth. Colonial furniture was placed around the Music Room and there were lavender and yellow decora- tions. During intermission eight girls in colonial costume danced the minuet. A grand march, in which those who were in costume participated, followed. The prize for the best costume was given to Miss Naomi Hyland. Prof, and Mrs. Ivins came garbed as George and Martha Washington. Mrs. Bourne, Miss Meyer and Miss Verder were also in costume, and with Miss Marie Young and Miss Marjorie Andrews, made up a charming receiving line. BRIDGE TEA Since some people were tired of always having parties at night, the Annual Board decided to have a little different kind of party. They gave a Bridge Tea in the Music Room at Moulton Hall from three to five February twenty-fifth. Financially it was not so wonderful, but those who came had a lovely time and voted that we have more such parties. GINGHAM PARTY On March seventh the Juniors entertained us at a Gingham Party. All girls came gowned in gingham or ligh t frocks, escorted by gentlemen wear- ing blue shirts and bow ties. Dancing and cards furnished entertainment. Mr. and Mrs. Miller and Miss Verder were patron and patronesses. ' One Hundred Thirty-lour LOWRY SPRING FROLIQUE It was too bad that everyone could not attend the Spring Frolique the Lowry Hall (iirls gave. They surely know how to stage a peppy affair. The party was given Friday, the twenty-eighth of March. A part of Miss Ger- trude Kreiselman ' s ( Irchestra from Akron furnished superb music for dancing. Guests of the Hall were Miss Smith, and Mr. and Mrs. Byrne. Miss Yerdei and Miss Trefethen were patronesses. MOULTON HALL PARTY It was a pleasing sight that greeted those who attended the second Moulton Hall Party given March 8. The spirit of St. Patrick ' s Day was prevalent. Mrs. Bourne, Miss Smith and Miss Harriet Wingerd formed the receiving line. Seventy couples danced to snappy music. Games were pro- vided for those who did not dance. The frivolity was interrupted to form a grand march. Confetti and serpentine were given to all and the room was transformed into an entangled mass. The dancing continued until eleven i clock. COLLEGE SECTION STAGES REAL PARTY Amid a setting of ferns, the student body of Kent State danced to the bewitching strains of LeMeyer ' s ( hxhestra. The program of the evening was delightfully varied. .Miss Ruth Hunter sang two selections and Josephine Woodward gave two solo dances of unusual appeal. The receiving line was composed of Mr. and Mrs. Ivins, Mr. and Mrs. Stopher, and Carlan Elliott.

Official publications indicate that the enrollment has increased more than 900 per cent in the last decade. The college was established in 1912 and was one of the first in Ohio to carry on extension work in professional subjects throughout northeast Ohio. J. E. McGilvrey instituted extension work when he be- came president of Kent State College. He also worked out with his assistants a very splendid home study department, which gives service to students who have been in residence and who have made good records. Kent College stands for progress. It graduates more than 350 per year. It has a four-year course leading to degree of B. S. in Education well established. Among the many other advantages the college has a splendid rural de- partment, and the teachers have opportunity to observe and practice in sixteen consolidated rural schools in the county in which the college is located. The institution has also in- augurated a great idea in travel in connection with the summer quarter term. Students can register, go to the N. E. A., see the city iif Washington and other eastern cities, travel through New England, return to Kent and take up the regular summer quarter work. There were 3,740 students in attendance at the school last summer. Summer catalogs are now being issued and can be secured by addressing tile Summer College Director, Kent State College, Kent, i hio.
