The Ohio State University in expressing its mere gratitude to the state of Ohio would be under- stating its manifest indebtedness. The University ' s progress in all fields and its very existence has been dependent upon the will of the people, legis- lators, and governors through these many years. The high development of Ohio ' s commerce, indus- try, and at nculture has been reflected in the op- portunities for study at Ohio State. Cultural and humane influences in the State have given rise to curricula in social sciences, medicine, and arts. Nevertheless, the Ohio State University is only a part of the State ' s great educational system which includes nearly five thousand elementary and sec- ondary scln)ols and fifty-four colleges and uni- versities. In one hundred and fifty years Ohio has built itself from a savage wilderness into a great state, not only through its rich mineral resources, fertile soil, and extensive waterways, but also through the wealth of mental ability of its people. The Uni- -ersity has been repaying the State with a constant stream of people enriched with knowledge, thus helping Ohio attain a higher place in the leader- ship of the nation and of the world.

Complicated schedule cards and numerous applications, countless shopping trips, fabulous tales of college spun at summer rush parties, fond farewells to the high school gang — all are behind Nancy Siegel now as she moves into exciting confusion at Baker. First Things First 150 Student Leaders show how it ' s done Things had changed more than a little since the first group of freshmen were orientated here 79 years ago. This time there were about 4,000 more frosh and 2,800 more instructors. Faculty members used lecture tables instead of carpenter ' s benches and this time no construction wofkers wandered inadvertently through classrooms carrying mortar, lumber, or blueprints. And Orientation Week had also evolved considerably since the time the Board of Trustees set aside S5000 in 1927 for the first Orientation Week program. Now there were 150 trained student leaders with scarlet and gray badges to greet and direct puzzled new Ohio Staters. Now there were faculty staff members with best wishes and measured advice on their lips. Now there was a speech in the stadium from the President of the University. Now there were tests, tests, tests to ascertain all sorts of proficiencies and improficiencies. The fraternities had their own special hello to give that week, and give it they did, as Greek after Greek sized up rushee after rushee. There was the usual amount of frosh who were confused, misguided, and lost. But eventually all that were intended to get orientated, got orientated. Stu- dent Director Keith Welborn and Faculty Co-ordinator Bill Guthrie had done a tremendous job extending a warm welcome to OSU freshmen.
