Is v, In majestic Athens, those masterful thinkers — Socrates, Plato and Aristotle — unshackled the human intellect and gave the world the principle of individual freedom, the thought and philosophy underlying the entire structure of Western Civilization. Outlined against the sky, overlooking Athens, stands the Acropolis, with its mellow-golden marble Parthenon, temple of the Goddess Athena. With its massive grace, perfect symmetry and proportion — simplicity without rigidity, imposing grandeur without heaviness — it represents the highest pinnacle of attainment in the human aspiration toward the beautiful. The Acropolis and the Parthenon are the ancient monument to Truth and Beauty and a symbol of Western Culture. On top of the hill here at Denison stands Swasey Chapel — our symbol and inspiration. The urove 45 I |4cademia, scene of those ageless disci Off the streets, out of the shops, Socrates took the youth. He led them to the Grove e$ who seek the ultimate truths. of Academia. There he aroused in them a love of truth and virtue. In warm sea- so ns our students are led outdoors to ex- plore freely the world of ideas. 5 The Greeks had an intense feeling for processes and beauties of nature. On Denison ' s campus we are alert to the change of seasons. We watch with pagan enthusiasm the flutter of an autumn leaf, the first snowflake, the robins ' return. Joan Hill riiigtoii, Pat Higgins.

So, our professors guide us in oin paths to knowledge. In learning, progress is made not by finding the answers hut by progressively clarifying the questions. Mr. Mahood, English Literature. Greek Youth of today mingle in Denison society Modern Greeks have a wide variety of activities — dialectic discussions, ritual teas, sacrificial ban- quets and slave duty! Is it true that contemporary Greek youths have much more fun? 10 Greece had Spartan warriors, Denison has mil- itant Betas, Wingless Angels, barbaric freshmen, and a small but all-pervasive police force. And whether a victory or a loss, spoils will go to all — A toast to Bacchus with mugs held high.

The annual Mother ' s Day program held in Liv- ingstone Gymnasium, after songs and dances, was climaxed by the crowning of the May Queen, Miss Gretchen Lighthizer. The festivities con- tinued with banquets for the mothers held at the sorority and fraternity houses. The annual inter- fraternity song contest completed Saturday ' s ac- tivities. Sunday morning a special chapel service for the parents at Swasey Chapel completed the weekend celebration. Denison heralds the arrival of spring and its delights William O. Douglas, Justice of Supreme Court Mr. Justice William O. Douglas of the U. S. Supreme Court was convocation speaker for the 14th annual Charles Felix Burke Memorial lec- ture in Swasey Chapel May 7. He spoke on Com- munism vs. Democracy in Asia. We are making the same mistakes with Red China that your fathers made with Russia, he told his audience. He said that China is using slave labor to build its industries and will soon be the third largest industrial nation in the world. However, it will not be powerful because the population is increasing so fast that the people ' s standard of living will be low, he warned. Prob- lems of China will continue to ferment and will be the greatest for us and for Russia, he added. The United States is way behind in the ideological conflict with communism. As we pre- fabricate a house, the Communisfs prefabricate a society, sending into underdeveloped areas teams of teachers, engineers, and experts in every field to set up a society. They have used the press in ways we haven ' t dreamed of. They make available a wide variety of books at inexpensive prices. Ex- cept in the larger cities where there is a U. S. In- formation Agency library, people in the back country of Asia have no books to give them the ideals of democracy, the speaker stated. He urged students to prepare to become teach- ers in these countries to work- with the children who would become the prime ministers. He cited the Peace Corps as the symb ol of what the United States can do. , addresses Convocation 23 College is coffee between classes touchdown passes cram exams studies buddies hard work home work slow work no vork things to do point of view THE UNIVERSITY Contents Faculty pages 25-51 Administration .... pages 52-57 Classes pages 58-80 Dr. Downs lectures to his freshman English class.

His professional competence as an historian was known not only by his immediate colleagues, but also throughout the profession. His intuitive artistry as a master teacher Avas a thing of beauty. To sit in his class- room was not simply to take a course in the cur- riculum. It was to have an experience that form- er students still recall with delight and appreci- ation. We had confidence in him. He was not simply a man of high intelligence, but he was a wise man. There is a profound difference, and few persons that I have known had the kind of wisdom in so many different situations that he possessed. We had great respect for him, but it went beyond that. We loved him. Because he was incapable of pettiness, we could be sure of him. We could trust him always. We loved him for these quali- ties uniquely possessed by him in super-abund- ance. We loved him, too, for his impish wit. We would often chuckle and laugh, but more often than not we would wake up later with the realization that his wonderful humor was a sub- tle way of making a point of significance. Yes, we had profound respect and great love for him. Our abiding thought is a deep sense of gratitude for his life and what it has meant to us as individuals, to the college, and to the village. May his unseen presence continue to walk through our memories in college halls and village streets. Our hearts are filled with our sorrow for his untimely passing. Let us thank God that we had him for so long. Excerpts from the remarks of A.

Student ' Faculty Executive Council Functioning as the primary link of communication and understanding between student government and faculty administration, the Student-Faculty Executive Council serves its purpose well. All the problems and innovations facing Denison University are carefully considered and acted upon during the bi-weekly meetings.

This legislative body is composed of three represent- atives from each sorority, fraternity, the unaffili- ated men ' s and the unaffiliated women ' s organi- zations. Senate carries out the purpose of our student government, which is to insure an in- creasing degree of self-government for all Denison students and to provide for cooperation with the faculty and the administration in the function- ing of the Denison Campus Government Associ- ation. The newly installed Senate officers conduct a meeting.

The Denison Interfraternity Council is a repre- sentative body of fraternity men which discusses problems and formulates policy concerning the fraternity system. The Council helps to main- tain friendly relationships between the fratern- ities and the administration as well as coordinat- ing rush programs and interfraternity affairs. Junior Advisers Incoming freshmen women were met this year by twelve junior advisers and the men by twenty- two JAs and six head residents. These students, all carefully selected from numerous applications, give both assistance and friendship to their fresh- man advisees. Living with the freshmen, the JAs are more aware of the problems students face in their first year in college, and they are better able to cope with these problems when they first arise.

Although it prints typical news items and import- ant announcements, this paper has also become a sounding-board for the many diverse opinions which inevitably appear when a controversial topic is introduced on the campus. In following a policy of non-partisanship, The Denisonian allows both sides of a question to be expressed. Besides presenting this intellectual appearance, this publication keeps a running account of the various social events and pinnings. In order to allow more people to participate in the manage- ment of a newspaper, two teams of editors were appointed for each semester this year. Another change of policy involved the abolishment of co- editorships. This was designed to institute a more unified and distinct chain of command. The Denisonian is not new to this campus as it was first founded in 1857 as a literary newspaper. First Semester Editors: Arvilla Brewer, Tom Mc Combs, Phil Behr.

We probably all have, but how many of us have been able to leply with the correct answer? Many a rushee has undoubtedly been given various defi- nitions of the - vord. Adytum means a place for hidden and mysterious things. It has been said that the Greeks had a word for it — we borrowed a word of theirs — Adytum — and have used it, with all it signifies to each of us, for the last eighty years.

Nick ' s off to the races against Centre. Three times winner The 1961 edition of the Big Red will be re- membered as the team that never gave up. Even though six out of nine games were lost, it must be remembered that three of the six losses occur- red in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter. Proof of the team ' s ability was seen at the end of the season when three players: Al Slicker; Co- Captain Bill McCormack; and Bruce Levinsky were awarded All-Ohio Conference honors. The outstanding player awards included: Co-Captain Brent Osborn, most valuable player and most efficient offensive back; John Parrish, most effi- cient defensive back; Stan Kondracki, most effici- ent defensive lineman; Al Slicker, most efficient offensive lineman; and Bill Mobley, most im- proved player. The most efficient and most im- proved honors are the coveted Mike Gregory awards. Steve Mehalic and John Parrish have been named to Co-Captain the 1962 Big Red football team which, from all indications, has great potential for a winning season. 124 Osborn ' s off for another Big Red score against Oberlin.

LACROSSE Coach Rix N. Yard ' s stickmen turned in a fine ten wins and one loss record which was good enough to enable the Big Red to capture first place in the Mid- West Lacrosse Association for the second straight year.

The fine team was captained by Brent Osborn who was also recipient of the most valuable player award. Leading scor- ers were Osborn, Sandy Campbell, Chuck O ' Con- nell, Bruce McClintock, and Jay Swett, most im- proved. Bill White was high in the assist de- partment. The defense was bolstered by Jim Crum, best defenseman award, Bruce Levinsky, and goalie Dick Handel. Placed on the All Mid- West first team were Brent Osborn, Jay Swett, Bill White, Bruce McClintock, and Jim Crum.

Ohio Conference Nfcchilist Captain AVilliam Pultz. OHIO CONFERENCE GOLF CHAMPIONS When Coach Hube Foster ' s golf team brought the Ohio Conference trophy back to Denison University by upsetting defending champion Uni- versity of Akron, it came as a pleasant note but small surprise to local sports fans. Ever since he became coach of the Big Red golfers in 1954, Foster ' s teams have had a habit of winning. This year his top four men carded a record-shattering 607 over the 36-hole championships at Marietta Country club, lowering the tournament set by Foster ' s 1960 champions by four strokes. Big Red Captain Bill Pultz was conference medalist with a 71-72 — 143 over the par 71 course. Teammate Spike Gall took runner-up medalist honors with 72-74 — 146. The other Denison cards read 83- 73 - 156 for Pete Stocker and 82-80 - 162 for Ron Morgan. Denison also took the tourney in 1956, giving Foster his first of four titles in nine years. His team has never finished lower than fourth, placing second once, third three times, and fourth once. In regular-season play, Foster ' s squad rolled up a 12-1-1 record this year, bring- ing his nine-year totals to 98 wins, 21 losses, and three ties.
