As much as was available of the things worth while has been incorporated in this volume, so that, in years to come, when the hand of Fate has scattered us afar, we may be able once more to obtain realistic glimpses of the joyful days spent with our Alma Mater. Only Time, that venerable symbol of Eternity, can tell how suc- cessful the effort to preserve these memories in this annual has been. kU N k €eNTENT« Views A dminist ration Classes Activities Hall of Fame Oreelis College Life Athletics Mud J V J n w T Wt „, ,s l ff i  fyff yyTy ff  tffTfw D E D 1 C 1 X recognition of the inspiring service and successful endeavor which he has so generously rendered to this institution, the Senior Class of 1929 wholeheartedly dedicates this number of the Chestnut Burr to President James O.

That this was an epoch- mak ing event in the history of Kent State cannot be denied. It is now our duty to uphold the trust that the people of Ohio have placed in our hands, and to make our school one of the best in the state. Let us forget the word normal when we talk of our school, and instead make the word college ring out as though we were proud of our institution. Public attention has been focused upon us, and much is expected of us. How are we going to meet the challenge? , Jkm 1. A A A V V 4. . % N V N V ' Sf Views Bi¥?:f -5.

When teachers and texts content themselves with the elimination of bunk, they do a real service to the cause of Truth. But when youth is duped and deceived into thinking that men long acclaimed as great were wholly cheap and vulgar, void of purpose opportunists, only then historic criticism over-leaps itself, and the latter state may be worse than the former. It may at least be questioned whether social progress is furthered more by our Menckens than by our Weems. Literature has assumed new forms and new aims, characteristic of the times in which we live. It paints marvelous pictures today, many of them beautiful, many of them sordid, most of them realistic. Nothing is too vulgar and mean, little too sensual, for the printed page of a magazine or book because they collectively portray life as it can be found. But this is not literature. At best it is only one type of literature. There are other types. Who can say that Lowell and Longfellow and Burns, Milton, Tennyson and Browning and Shakespeare will not live in spite of their obvious attempts to preach to us — nay, more, because they succeeded in doing it, when poems and books full of sex but without a soul will have been forgotten. Paul Whiteman is the exponent of one type of music. It has its place. I do not condemn it. But it is not the whole of music, nor even the best of it. Sokoloff in Cleveland and Damrosch in New York are helping to popularize another type that will live and minister to the best emotions of the human heart when jazz has been stilled forever. Now what I have said about history, biography, literature and music has been said to emphasize one point. To my mind it is a most important one. There is an aspect of each of these subjects, a method of approach to it or an interpretation of it, that can be used to magnify and vivify the students respect for fundamentals in life — spirituality, patriotism, idealism, culture, refinement. Our plea is for teach- ing that integrates, there is too much that disintegrates. When science teaching destroys the essential in a student ' s religion, it becomes a disintegrating force. When our history is debunked to the point that youth is made cynical in its attitude; towards our most dearly bought institutions, and their founders, his- torical criticism has become their enemy. When literature is taught so that the student no longer aspires to hitch his wagon to a star because his eyes are fixed upon the mud and filth about his feet, teaching needs a new objective, and school- room courses in literature need a renaissance. A teacher ' s college must be ad- ministered and courses taught so that its graduates go out into the profession of their choice with a great desire to communicate their vision of life as a unity to children and youth who do not have it. Facts of life, if we recognize them as such, are easy to teach. Their meanings, their hidden implications, their bearing upon eternal verities, are matters of greater concern. Knowledge has to become wisdom to be dynamic and it is at this point that our greatest responsibility is to be found in a school that is authorized to prepare young men and women to teach Ohio ' s children. Jmmlf Page twenty-three i Chestnut Burr of ' 29 ] DEAX OF MEN Raymond E. Manchester, A. B., M. A. The greatest task confronting any edu- cational institution is that of attempting to devise some method of handling the so- called intangibles. How may we find out the point of view a student may take toward any given proposition, how are attitudes to be class- ified, what are moods and how may we change them, how may we measure growth in responsibility, what is the effect of inspiration — These are the types of questions we are interested in and are attempting to answer in this office, and since our success cannot be measured in terms of standardized tests, our only way of checking results will be through a study of new points of view, attitudes, new moods, new growths in re- sponsibility and new ideals. So you see we are back where we started and perhaps that is where we should remain. DEAN OF WOMEN Blanche A. Verder College Memories Kent Staters of 1929, as you leave us this summer you will carry away certain assets accumulated during your years at college. What an array of these there will be; knowledge, (some wisdom, too, we hope), skills, college togs, etc., together with the diplomas — and then the photo- graphs and friendships and memories. Thus e(]uipped you go back to your home towns to show the friends and neighbors Kent State ' s finished product. Of all these assets, memories will endure the longest, for even friendships will fade into memories; and of all these assets memories will give the highest returns in satisfaction. May nothing ever rob you of the colorful memories, the joyous mem- in-ies, the winsome memories, even the sobering memories, and the sacred mem- ories of the years you are concluding as undergraduates. As year follows year, and you find the outline of this or that mental picture becoming a bit hazy, come home to revive your most precious assets — memories. Page twetiiy-four I Chestnut Burr of ' 29 DEPARTIMENT OF ART Nina S. Humphrey Tlie Beauty Lover ' a Creed I believe in Beauty as the manifestation of Triumphant life. I believe in looking for Beauty every- where; watching for it, searching for it in the great and in the small, in the commonplace and in the unusual things of this wonderful world. I bel ieve in working for beauty always ; planning for it, trying for it in the making of all that has to be made, and in the doing of all that has to be done. I believe in living the Beautiful life; a life in the right relation to the lives of others and in harmony with the eternally unfolding life of God. This Dresentaticn of creed bv Dr. Henry Turner Bailey must happily expresses the use of Beauty in the practical activities of every day. It has been the inspiration in the work of the department, and the enthusiasm of the students in accepting the creed is evidence that they too are searchers for Beauty. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE J. T. Johnson, A. B. In the long period of time covering social development. Agriculture was among the earliest vocations which was clearly defined. The intimate relation between continued existence and the food s upply of people establishes a permanent and basic interest. While the food-getting activities are es- sential to satisfy human needs, the voca- tion provides abundant opportunities to grow and mature in the higher levels of social and spiritual attainment. Agriculture is more than a vocation dealing with materials; it is a way of living. Agriculture as a vocation, because the daily activities are closely associated with nature, provides a body of experience of sound educational value. In viewing the subject of agriculture as a study of a mode of life economic values would obscure edu- cational values. Since human aspirations transcend human needs, the subject of agriculture is emphasized as a means of education. J H t J M U V WTy ¥ i ryV r i w w w T Page tiventy-flve I Chestnut Burr of ' 29 DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY Harry A. Cunningham, B. S., M. A. Biologists are continually adding to our knowledge and understanding of the many (iitferent aspects of life. This new knowl- edge is available for use in our biology courses. It is the purpose of the depart- ment to keep all courses up-to-date by the use of this new material as it appears. There have been many important investi- gations relative to the teaching of Biology in the grades, in the high schools and in the colleges. These investigations afford a wealth of new information, sufficient to revolutionize current practice, in the se- lection and organization of subject matter, in methods of instruction and of testing results. In the organization of our courses, we are striving to advance in accord with general educational progress that has marked the last few years. We are en- deavoring to apply the large body of scientific data, which is now available to the many questions relating to the Biology curriculum and to the technique of instruc- tion in Biology. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND PSYCHOLOGY D. W. Pearce, A. B., M. A. The general attitude of the department of Education and Psychology of Kent State College might be most appropriately designated as eclectic and we hope well- balanced. For some time attention has been specifically directed to the improve- ment of organization and integration of professional courses for teachers. Un- warranted duplication and over-lapping in the work of this department has been re- duced to a minimum. No longer will any- one be tempted to say, If you have had one course you have had them all. At- tention has also been given to the matter of sequence in courses and it is believed that the order set down will aid materially in producing a cumulative effect which cannot be procured by a haphazard order. The selection of content material and the method of presentation aim to produce growth in philosophical concepts and to increase knowledge of the learning process. Pag ' , twenty-six [ Chestnut Burr of ' 29 11 DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH Edgar Packard, A. B. The Department of English in any in- stitution of learning faces a task of tre- mendous proportions. The great body of literature which has accumulated through the centuries necessitates a careful se- lection to get material best suited for stu- dents; the wide diversity in the types of literature requires as wide a diversity of methods in presentation; and the yet un- solved problem of the most effective teach- ing of the mother tongue demands constant thought and experimentation. In an in- situation preparing teachers for our public schools, the task of the English Depart- ment is to advance the student to a point considerably beyond that which he reached in his high school English, and to equip him with methods of teaching the subject effectively. Professor Satterfield returned to the department after a year spent in Columbia University. Miss Ada Hyatt has come into the department from the Train- ing school. Mr. Alfred Hill has charge of Journalism. THE FRENCH DEPARTMENT Belle Rowlen, A. B., M. A. Whatsoever things are lovely in the literature, science, music or art of other nations, these things we would know and appreciate. Our French Department offers an opportunity for progress towards such an ideal. Its courses will take one beyond the humdrum of everyday life and afford new interests either as a vocation, an avocation or a hobby. Even within the limits of the requirements for a minor it is possible to form some acquaintance with those beyond the sea and to enter into an appreciation of their ways of thinking and living. It has been said that every man has two countries, his own and France. Why? What does the expression mean? We can help you to find the answer. At least it is here that ways are opened by which one can venture forth to find for himself some of the lovely things of La Belle France. f a U U F n i y!r T J yy F F n Page twenty-seven 11 Chestnut Burr of ' 29 Jf r3EPART:,IEXT OF GEOGRAPHY AXD GEOLOGY David Olson, M. Sc, A. B. How big- is your world? How far does your imagination soar? How deep does your understanding penetrate? To what extent is your mind unshackled from superstition and pre.nidice? The answer to these and many questions like them are functions of your geographic study and reading. Even to know where the places one reads of are, what is their climate and how they are peopled, is something; but in its wider meaning, as the science, which aims at the explanation of the adjustment of man to his surroundings, there is no problem in past history or of present politics and economics which cannot be elucidated by the applications of the princi- ples of geography. DEPARTMENT OF HF:ALTH AXD PHY SICAL EDUCATIOX A. 0. DeWeese, a. B., M. D. The Department of Health and Physical Education of Kent State College is organ- ized upon the assumption that an abund- ance of radiating health and physical well- being is of more importance to the class- room teacher than to an individual in any other profession. In order to be of the greatest service possible to the prospective teacher in attaining this ideal the department offers the following services: 1. Physical and health examination on entrance with medical advice and con- sultation as to how the student might im- prove liis physical and health condition. 2. Regular and systematic exercise two days a week in the gymnasium and (me (lay in the swimming pool. These exercises insofar as possible are adajjted so as to train the student to not only Ivjlp himself but others v.honi he might teacli in hi.-, professional career. .3. Special courses for teachers in Healtli and Physical Training. y ' tPW tV t v v ' LT I ' ai-f litrvtii-rifihl I Chestnut Burr of ' 29 I HISTORY AND SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT A. Sellew Roberts, A. B., M. A., Ph. D. The History and Social Science Depart- ment has a two-fold aim. On the one hand it attempts to give to the prospective his- tory teacher that sound and thoroug ' h grasp of the subject matter involved with- out which success as a history teacher is impossible. But on the other hand the department aims to help the general stu- dent to the cultural background which will enable him to live a well-rounded life and make him a more useful citizen. Through the medium of history the student learns to know the great writers of the past, to become acquainted with the great thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle and Descartes, and to watch the growth of science from Archimedes through Roger Bacon to the wonders of the present. Through history and its sister sciences, government, soci- ology and economics, the student watches the whole stream of human progress from the pyramids to the present and cannot help being the richer and the better equipped for his life work thereby. DEPARTAIENT OF HOME ECONOMICS Elsie M. Maxwell, B. S., M. A. The year 1928-1929 has been a busy one for the Home Economics Department. At the beginning of tWe year the thirteen upper classwomen extended a cordial wel- come to a new department instructor and to twenty students who (elected the subject as their major interest. Home Economics Majors formed the nucleus of enrollment for most of the courses given throughout the year. How- ever, the interest shown in the various courses by 97 girls from other depart- ments of the college were gratifying. The intelligence and the enthusiasm displayed by these girls in studying problems of home life in thte light of scientific, eco- nomic and sociological principles should give encouragement to those who are skeptical regarding the future welfare of the Am erican home. j WVrw J n n F n . y Paae twentv-nine I Chestnut Burr of ' 29 J summer school students with the at South school. THE KIXDERGARTEN-PRIMARY DEPARTMENT G. Hazel Swan, B. S. It has been possible this yeai ' to give several courses not previously given in Kindergarten-Primary. We are looking forward another year to offering the stu- tlents still further help. On the thirteenth of February a Kinder- garten-Primary club was organized with twenty five members. One of the aims of this year is to send two delegates to the International Kindergarten convention, meeting in New York from April twenty- ninth to May third. The privilege of stu- dent attendance at the international meet- ing is a recent move made by that oi-gani- zation. An activity of this year for which much appreciation has been expressed to the ■ department was the co-operation of the city schools in their summer playground work THE LIBRARY Margaret Dunbar, B. L.. B. L. S. On June 14, 1913, the Library of Kent State College began its existence in Merrill Hall in the room now occupied by the Otf- Campus Women ' s club and one room opening off this for the stack. For three years our library remained in this location while the Administration building was under construction, and had grown to be a Library which necessitated four standard size floor stacks. It then moved to the room in the Administration building where the Library has made its home for twelve yeairs. We moved in literally on the ground floor for the build- ing was unfinished. Through all the years of pioneering, this first year was the hardest, but the vision was always before us and the Library grew. It is still before us with the first unit of the David Ladd Rockwell building standing ir symbolic of the place of the Library in the school the center of the campus. V % T [ Chestnut Burr of ' 29 I DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC Florence A. Sublette, B. S., M. A. The Department of Music Education at Kent State college is organized to serve a two-fold purpose. All students who ex- pect to teach in the elementary grades are required to take two courses in the de- partment. These courses aim to acquaint the prospective teacher with the problems to be encountered in teaching music in the class-room and give practical experience in handling these problems. Besides courses offered for grade teachers there are courses that may be elected by students who are interested in specializing in music, by those who seek music as a recreational activity, or by those who enter the de- partment to gain a contact with music for the cultural background it affords and for the fullness it adds to life. The department is gradually growing. It is a fondly cherished dream that shortly Kent State may offer a four year course for the preparation of Music Supervisors. MANUAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT C. S. Van Deusen, M. E. It might have been well if when this department was opened in 1913 it had been placed on wheels. It certainly has been moved about, enough to justify it. In 1913 the entire department occupied room 102, Merrill Hall, in which there was then equipment for ten pupils to work at bench woodwork and for twelve to work at mech- anical drawing. To this same room the enlarged bench woodworking equipment was again moved about a year ago, after resting in Science Hall one year and in the Power Plant eleven years. The Blechanical Drawing and Printing equipments have returned again to their original building — Merrill Hall, after occu- pying rooms in three other buildings — Science Hall, Power House and Lowry Hall. The space occupied by the department has been reduced for the present but the department is carrying on to meet the increasing demand for teachers of manual training. in an effort JUdfA f yy y f F FTn 9¥ fPf i y r FIFn Page thirty-one i Chestnut Burr of ' 29 jr DKPARTIMEXT OF PHYSICAL SCIEXCES C. F. RuMOLD, A. B., LL. D. The Department of Physical Sciences at Kent State College offers in regular courses 102 hours in Chemistry and 30 term hours in Physics. In addition special courses arranged for students who have the neces- sary preparation for profitably pursuing the work. Students who are worl;ing off pre-medical or engineering requirements here find exactly the work they need. The earlier courses are presented with emphasis on the method of teaching these funda- mental sciences. It is intended to give in these courses the training in the presenta- tion of the facts and principles which will equip one for successfull.v teaching these sciences in the high schools. Those stu- dents who are looking forward to careers in the applied sciences will find in the more advanced courses work equivalent to similar courses in the colleges and universities. Laboratory facilities are unexcelled and much emphasis is given to individual laboratory work. THE REGISTRAR John L. Blair, A. B., M. A. In accordance with the policy that the office of the Registrar should become a bureau of information about the student body and its activities, complete new equip- ment has been provided and a totally changed system of organization is being introduced. The equipment permits Wv. accumulation of a vast body of data con- cerning the college in its various aspects. and the system of organization, when in full operation, will permit the quick reference to the data on the part of all persons concerned with problems of the colllege. Much has already been completed and more is now in progress, toward the at- tainment of the desired goal. Another year should stee the organization in prac- tically full operation, and it is the hope and expectation that new goals will then be sighted, the attainment of which will still further increase the function of the office as a service agency for faculty and administrators. WxV T N TT V [ Chestnut Burr of ' 29 ][ TRAIXIXG SCHOOL A. L. Hee?., a. B., M. a., Ph. D. The Training School is now housed in the new William A. Cluff Training School building. This provides ample space for all of the training school activities. Only a part of the new equipment has arrived. When the remainder is purchased and in- stalled, all of the household arts and the industrial arts classes of the training school will be held in the Training School building. The school is also being equipped with a radio. Loud speakers will be placed in the music room, the study hall, and the auditorium. There will be a large and a small moving picture machine in the auditorium. One room will be set aside and equipped with a projection lantern and an opaque projector. A complete set of Keystone views will be added. Some splendid works of art will adorn the walls of the classrooms and corridors. As a whole, the Training School will be well equipped. All are looking forward to its completion. DEPARTMENT OF TEACHER-PLACE- MENT AND EXTRA-AIURAL ACTFVTTIES Emmet Stopher, A. B., A. M. The Department of Teacher-Placement and Extra-Mural Activities was organ- izied in Septemer, 1927. One of its chief duties is to assist in the placement of teach- ers. It undertakes to keep in touch with all graduates and with many former stu- dents. To a large extent it feels responsi- ble for the continued advancement of teachers in the field and for their pro- motion. To assist in their continued growth, extension classes and correspond- ence work have been organized. One in- structor spends nearly half of his time visiting or supervising recent graduates. Important phases of its work, so far very little developed, are the promotion of conference and round table discussions in the field, the rental of films and slides to schools, organization of traveling librarises, furnishing of lectures, commencement speakers, and entertainers.

The Senior class of iyi!U is busy these days saying good-bye to its many friends and professors whose memories and in- spirations will linger long after graduation. The Senior class, which was organized at the beginning of the school year, elected Walter Jantz to act as president. During the year the class has enjoyed many social funcions, including a formal dance and banquet. One great event of Senior days was the participation in the inauguration of President James O. Engleman. Many other reminiscences of college days will remain in the minds of members of the class of 1929 after they leave Kent State. We are proud, as Seniors, to say that our College has been granted by legislature the authority to give the Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees. We hope that in the future Kent State will grow and become one of the leading educational institutions in America. y T wv N l Chestnut Burr of ' 29 ][ ' JLA A. A A A JAAllAkkkA Marian D.

Pres., Betty Francis; Suc ' y, Eva Evans; Treas., Helen Eastwood. The Junior class of ' 29 has had a year of progress which has prepared it for that grand finale of college life, the Senior year. The group was organized in the Fall term and elected its officers early in the year. Those chosen to guide the destinies of the class were: Pres., Herbert F. Kelley; V. Pres., Betty Francis; Secretary, Eva Evans; Treas., Helen Eastwood. Much of the success of the class activities of the year can be attributed to the three members of the faculty who so generously aided in all class endeavor. Those chosen advisers were Mrs. Bernice Setzer, Prof. D. W. Pearce and Prof. C. F. Rumold. Besides being active within itself, the class contributed liberally to many college functions. In athletics it was represented by several men of sterling ability. Lewis Hall, who was varsity center on the basketball squad, proved to be high point scorer when the totals were made. In intra-mural men ' s athletics the class was outstanding. having won two of the three meets held during the school year. v Ak MMNk. k tPW Wf TW f tWV ttt iv Page seventy-two Chestnut Burr of ' 29 I Fidelia Farnum, Kent Ohio Alpha Sigma Alpha Off Campus Women ' s Club Women ' s League Herbert Kelley, Ne wLex ngton O Sigma Tau Gamn a Pres. of Junior Degree Class Rosamunde Ifen ' s Quartet Charles Hollstein, Kunkle, C Sigma Tau Gamma Bowling Green Esther Scheetz, Hudson, Pres. of French Club Social Science Club W.

Pres., Lester Sabin; Ti ' eas., Lillian Flower; Sec ' y. Marian Flower Real progress and accomplishment marked the history of the Sophomore Degree class during the college year of 1928-1929. Organization of the group took place in the Fall term, Clarence Tabler being chosen president, Lester Sabin, vice-pres- ident, Marian Flower, secretary, and Lillian Flower, treasurer. Under the administra- tion of these capable officers class affairs were ably directed. Participating liberally in every branch of college activities, the class of 1931 distinguished itself above all in debating. The entire varsity squad was composed of Sophomores. They are: Eldon Scoutten, Phil Barry and James Holm. The class also had its representatives in athletics. Among numerous others, Charles Kilbourne was one of the outstanding backfield men on the gridiron squad. His excellent passing and line plunging was one of the features of the team. Arthur Stejskal. halfback, though not playing regularly because of injuries, scintillated brilliantly, especially in the Akron game. In basketball, Kilbourne again proved to be a star, while Gordon Kelso played a flashy game at forward. Both have earned their second letter in this sport. Xext year greater achievement is being anticipated by all members of the class. With the coming of its Junior year, will come the feeling that the end of college work is at last in sight, and with this inspiration in mind, efforts to do well will be re- doubled.

Mary Snyder; V. Pres., Betty Tiefel; Treas., Janet Wagner Numerous well-attended meetings were held by the Senior Diploma class this year. Important matters were discussed, and, following the election of officers. action was taken on those problems with which the class was confronted. Committees were announced by the class president, the following being se- lected for the various duties: Social Committee, Helen Patrick; Gift Committee, Florence Sohnlein; Class Day Committee, Grace Sutherin. The class sponsored a mask ball and later in the year a surprise party was given. Several other social events are being planned at the present time. Important and interesting pointers on the application for jobs were given to the class by Prof. E. C. Stopher, Director of Extra-mural activities and Teacher Placement. After some discussion, leather folders for the diplomas were chosen, the colors selected being blue and gold. This is the first year Kent State College will give the diplomas in this way. Desiring to carry out into the world the ideas of their Alma Mater, the Diploma Seniors of 1929 leave the school proud of their accomplishments and hoping to carry on their work in a manner that will be creditable both to themselves and to their school. k V Page sevi-nty-six i Chestnut Burr of ' 29 ][ Olwen Lloyd Ruth Eleanor Truog Ce2.ia Arnoff Bessie Levy Elizabeth Tiefel Sara Beeger Bertha Anderson Aline Briggs Garnet Alder Lidia Gibbs Bertha Roberts Julia Forbush Eleanor Macpherson Mary Salfsman Rosalie Sipos Margaret Klose t m v j i i UU U V T Tf W rWr y W Vr F T Page seventy-seven I Chestnut Burr of ' 29 ] Pauline Krahl Grace Kline Eleanor Hankamer Margarite Shumaker Lillian Karp Idabelle Stauffer Gladys Daryman Elrie Arnettte Maisie Tollafield Alice E.

Pres., Louis FuKg ; Sec Treas., Gilbert Lawrence Catherine Conroy; The Freshmen Degree class came together this fall wholly inexperienced in the new life which was before it. However it did not take long to become accustomed to our new environment, and we soon were rubbing shoulders comfortably, and calling each other by our first names. Xot long after the beginning of the year the class was organized and officers elected. Those chosen were: Elmer Redmond, president, Louis Fogg, vice-president; Catherine Conroy, secretary; and Gilbert Lawrence, treasurer. We took an active part in the many activities of the campus. Some of our members won their spurs in athletics; others chose a more scholastic role and made shining records upon their grade cards. We followed the precedent established last year by accepting the challange of the Sophomores to an inter-class debate. We have entered actively into fraternity and sorority life and various other social functions. However, as full as this year has been, we look forward to three still more eventful ones. These expectations are augmented by the fact that our entry into this institution took place in an especially auspicious year. y y v I Chestnut Burr of ' 29 I Alberta Mclhvain Suzanne Sanford David liauKhman Pauline Phillips Mildred Foster Ruth Kisthardt Winona Rednor Albert Bills Lillian Swaney Grace Conroy Virginia Johnstone Leah Snodsrass Geneva Brand Nellie Davis Maxine Chain Alice Chacey Marian C.

The League has sponsored many activities during the last three quarters which have greatly enhanced college life, many of which are coming to be periodical functions, and are looked forward to as an integral part of the school program. These activities include the Big and Little Sister Teas, a reception and dance for new students, the New Years ball, the Sunset dances, an Arbor Day program, and the Father ' s and Mother ' s Week-end. The Women ' s League was organized with the objects in view to foster a spirit of unity among the women students, promote a feeling of loyalty toward the col- lege, and provide a method whereby the spiritual, physical, and mental standards of women of the college could be aimed and held at a high degree. The constant growth and increasing popularity and influence of the organization testify as to what degree it has been successful. Since the day of its conception it has prospered and grown to occupy the position on the campus which it now holds. The officers who have guided the organization during the year 1928-1929 are as follows: President, Ruth Eleanor Truog, Vice-President, Lillian Swaney, Secre- tary. Olwen Lloyd, and Treasurer, Margaret Jamieson. To their efficient and capable work is due the success which has attended the functions of the Women ' s League this year. j t j j U y!

The council prepared questionnaires which were distributed among the students to find their reactions to certain problems. In the Fall cjuarter, the Council took ch arge of an assembly period and discussed there such important topics as the Point System, Freshmen Green, and Comi)ulsory Assembly. The Council also sponsored a peppy song contest. m x W I Chestnut Burr of ' 29 I OFF-CAMPUS WOMEN ' S CLUB This organization, composed of girls living off-campus, is one of the oldest and most active in the college. Its purpose is to give its members the same opportunity for social contact and college spirit as is enjoyed by the girls who room in the dormitories. The club room in Merrill Hall affords a place of rest and recreation immediately available on the campus for the members. During the year the Off-Campus Women ' s club has taken an active part in the social activities of Kent State. Early in the fall a Harvest dance was given for the benefit of all college students. The annual Pep entertainment composed of various college talent, was held in February in the auditorium. Besides acts of various sorts, a short one act play entitled Spreading the News was presented. The home-coming banquet and a spring dance completed the college social program. A Freshmen-week party for Freshmen off-campus girls and a Christmas party in the club room were affairs limited to club members. Officers of the winter quarter were: president, Betty Hamilton; vice-president, Betty Francis; secretary, Lillian Flower; treasurer, Virginia Bundy, and representa- tive to the Women ' s League, Jean Stadler.

The policy of the club in previous years has been to have programs made up of talks given by prominent speakers. At the beginning of this year, with John Lockett as president, a plan was arranged in the form of a project which has been discussed in sequence at the various meetings. An Ideal Government was the general sub- ject. Discussions on What Form Shall Our Government Take, What is the Aim of Our Government, Why Have Education and What Shall Be Done with Those Who Are Unable to Contribute to the Welfare of the State, received heated arguments pro and con by the enthusiastic groups which gathered at the meetings. The club is entirely sponsored by the student body. It meets monthly and meetings are preceded by a dinner at Lowry Hall. m v v w N Tv r aye one hundred fourteeTi i Chestnut Burr of ' 29 ] FREXCH CLUB One of the earliest evidences of the sentiment in malcing Kent State a Liberal Arts College was manifested when the first language club appeared — Le Cercle Francais. This organization which was established in 1927 offers an opportunity for French students and others who have had some concern with the language to meet for the purpose of promoting intellectual advancement, sociability, good fellowship and development of culture in the French language. The club meets the second and fourth Thursdays of the month, at which time various programs lead toward the advancement of the purpose of Le Cercle. These outlines of entertainment have constituted talks concerning French life, French games, and French songs. As part of the club ' s activities this last quarter the members have prepared a short French play and have studied in sequence the story of Roland, a hero in French mythology. A membership of fifteen, nine being charter members, is now boasted by the club. The national colors of France, blue, white and red, were chosen as the colors for the club, the fleur-de-lis as the flower. Esther Scheetz, president of the organization this year, has done much toward the continuance of the successful work which was begun in 1927 with Helen East- wood as the head. The other officers, as well as Miss Edith Belle Rowlen, the adviser, have co- operated efficiently, so that Le Circle Francais can be true to its motto: Marchons, marchons, nous pouvons arriver.

Wr r FFf Page one hundred fifteen I Chestnut Burr of ' 29 ] CHEMICAL ESSAY CONTEST Nine chemistry students this year participated in the sixth national chemistry essay contest for normal colleges, sponsored by Mr. Francis Garvin of New York. The contest is open to all students of teacher training institutions, there being six subjects with three prizes given for each subject. They are: Relations of Chem- istry to Agriculture; Relations of Chemistry to the Enrichment of Life; Relations of Chemistry to National Defense: Relations of Chemistry to Industry; Relations of Chemistry to Medicine and The Relations of Chemistry to the Home. Inspired and aided by Prof. C. F. Rumold, these students wrote acceptable essays which were sent in to headquarters. At the time that this annual went to press, the winners for this year had not yet been announced. Last year, however, John Urban, then a freshman, won a second prize of .f300 for his paper on Chemistry and its Relations to Agriculture. To encourage the research work of this type among the students, Prof. Rumold is giving two term hours credit to all those who write acceptable essays. Not only does work of this type bring honor to the school, but the student who writes derives a large amount of satisfaction regardless of whether he wins or not, from the acquiring of much useful information which otherwise would not be uncovered. y x W W V I Chestnut Burr of ' 29 1 HOME ECONOMICS C ' Ll ' li To promote a friendly unity of girls in the department of Home Economics; to establish a more professional attitude toward both teaching and home-making; to keep in touch with the current topics of the Home Economics world: these are the objectives of the club. Officers of the club are: Mary Priddy, president; Eva Evans, vice-president; Winifred Stone, secretary: Sara Bartlett, treasurer. Miss Elsie ] Iaxwell was chosen adviser. A calendar of activities includes: Founder ' 3 Day tea; Home Economics luncheon in honor of Miss Dorothy E. Shank of Cleveland; educational trip to Akron; food demonstrations by a representative from a large food company; and a dress pageant for assembly, showing the dresses from 1850 to 1929. The group also took complete charge of table service at the reception held for President James O. Engleman. The club sold refreshments at all the basketball games and had charge of the eats at the county tournaments. All profits were turned into the Boston fund, since the club plans to send two delegates to the national convention to be held in Tune. J r ' J J M £ f V y y W Pr n i n y WTrF n Page one hundred sevenieerl Chestnut Burr of ' 29 ] DEBATIXC; TEAM In keeping with progressive inter-collegiate policy of Kent State college, a varsity debating team was organized last fall under the tutelage of Prof. Edgar Packard, head of the English Department, for the purpose of establishing forensic relations with neighboring schools. Faithful practice was held during the year, and one debate with Hiram college was held under the auspices of the Ravenna Rotary club, the question at issue being the regular Ohio Conference proposition: Resolved, that the Jury System Should be Abolished. ] Iuch practical experience was gleaned by the Kent team from this event. With the exception of John Rice, alternative, the entire squad was composed of sophomores. They were: Eldon Scoutten, James Holm and Phil Barry. Because of this fact, much faith is being put into the team for next year, since it is expected that all of these will return to continue their work here. Using this year ' s experience as a basis for further action, it may be possible to have a more active team next year than has heretofore been considered advisable. T WxV V T xTT TV t ' age one hundred eighteen I Chestnut Burr of ' 29 I r iEX ' s uxiox Since the date of its founding, the Men ' s Union has taken an active part in the various college affairs. Founded with the purpose of promoting a feeling of unity and integrity among men, and to foster a spirit of devotion and loyalty toward the college while at the same time providing a clean social atmosphere, the organization has steadily worked toward these ends, growing in influence and ability all the while. Each year it presents an active program of events which are more and more coming to be an invaluable part of college life. The last annual Men ' s Union banquet, held this year at the Franklin hotel in February, drew a majority of enthusiastic men students. The main speaker was President James O. Engleman, whose talk was highly appreciated. Other affairs sponsored by the Union this year included a dance in November and a dinner dance in j lay. Officers for this year are: Lowell Masters, Charles Paulus, Dan Stratton, Robert Hall and Dean R. E. Manchester, faculty adviser. One of the dearest hopes of the men of the college is about to materialize due to the action of the Union. A Men ' s Union room, long advocated and much desired, has at last been definitely promised by President Engleman. This is perhaps the most significant piece of work achieved by the Union this year. jl T ' .M U j U T WPr V VrWr n WP y . T Page one hundred nirieieerl I Chestnut Burr of ' 29 ]f IMEX ' S CHORUS The members of this group usually number about twenty-five. The men of the chorus, combined with the Women ' s Glee Club, form the group known as the Kent State Ensemble Singers. Besides appearing on assembly programs these men furnished the chorus of guards and chorus of shepherds for the production of Rosa- munde in December, and in March presented before the Women ' s Faculty Club a musical burlesque entitled Hamlet, Hamlet, Where Have You Been? This group also furnishes all men soloists and the chorus of dragoon guards for the opera, Patience, staged by the Music Department in May. Four numbers on the musical program of the Physical Education pagent were presented by the Men ' s Chorus. V V v Page one hundred twenty Chestnut Burr of ' 29 I WOMEN ' S GLEE CLUB The Women ' s Chorus is open to anyone who can sing. From this group, rang- ing in number from forty to ninety, are picked the voices that make up the Women ' s Glee Club. The personnel changes from quarter to quarter, but it is upon this group of selected singers that the responsibility for all special chorus work is placed. The Glee club formed the girls ' chorus in the Schubert operetta, Rosamunde; furnished special numbers for the pagent staged by the Department of Physical Education in April; and supplied all women soloists and the twenty love-sick maidens for the opera, Patience, produced by the Music Department in May. The above picture is the glee club for the winter quarter.

It numbers twenty to twenty-five musicians. It is appearing at college functions more and more frequently, and is taking an increasingly definite position in student activities at Kent College. It has furnished music for several programs. It has had three other major appearances this year. Augmented slightly by musicians froni the city of Kent, it furnished the accompani- ment to Schubert ' s Rosamunde, given by the Music Department under the direction of Miss Florence Sublette in December. Unassisted, it accompanied the Music Department ' s next production, Gilbert and Sullivan ' s opera, Patience, given in May. For the impressive inaugural and dedication programs in March, the orchestra furnished a two-hour program for the reception to President Engleman. The orchestra was under the direction of Miss Florence Sublette for the fall term, and under Mr. Dwight Steere for the remainder of the year. yy L xV V R xx TV f ' age one hundred tiienly-ti i Chestnut Burr of ' 29 I KEXr STATE BAND Making its first appearance of the year in an early football game last Fall, the best band Kent State has ever had functioned actively throughout the year. Color- fully clothed in the new blue and gold caps and capes, much was done by the band to liven up appearances in athletic contests. Organized through the efforts of Miss Florence A. Sublette, head of the Music Department, rehearsals were held regularly in the music room. Under the direction ai George Emerson, and with Herbert Kelley as drum major, many long hours were spent in practice, but the achievements made the effort worth-while. Although this year ' s band was relatively small in size, the basis was laid for a strong group for next year. It is hoped that with the beginning which has been made this year, it will be possible to have a larger and stronger band in the future. f Page on hundred twenty-three [ Chestnut Burr of ' 29 ] ■ROSAMUNDE In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the death of Franz Schubert, famous composer, the Alusic Department of the college presented one of his well- known pastorial operas, Rosamunde. It was given on Tuesday, December 11, in the college auditorium. The entire production was given and supervised by students and members of the faculty. Madge George played the title role with poise and charm, while Orlo Stroup, who was leading man. proved himself capable of his part. Other leading roles were well rendered by Ruth Geib, Rena Gilson, Alice Elgin, Lowell Masters, Herbert Kelley and Charles Paulus. Xon-vocal actors in the cast were: Jay Harriman, Alfred Hill and Elmer Earley. Ballet numbers between acts were given by members of the Physical Education Department under the competent direction of Miss Edith Ball. Mrs. Bernice Setzer and the Art Department arranged the scenery. The plot of the opera itself was interesting and excellently revealed. Many compliments were tendered to Miss Florence A. Sublette, head of the Music De- partment, for her fine work as director of the production.

Amone the outstandinc marks of its progress are the following: The chanee in size from a five-column to a six-column paper, thus increasing the space devoted to news by more than one hundred percent, which made possible a much more thorough coverage of the news field. The establishment of a departmentalized paper with general news on the front page, features on page two. society on page three, and sports on page four. The change in publication date from Tuesday to Friday morning. Under the old routine the paper was printed on Sunday so news of events happening between Sunday and Tuesday could be written only in a haphazard manner. Under the new arrangement news occuring as late as two hours before the paper is distributed frequently makes its appearance in the columns of the Kent Stater. Already a charter member of the Ohio College Newspaper Association, the Kent Stater took another step forward when it became a i barter member of the National Scholastic Press Association on January 1, 1929, and in so doing allied itself with more than 1400 scholastic newspapers of leading colleges and universities throughout the United States. Another step of progress was the acquisition of a spacious office which is gradually being equipped. This is located in Merrill Hall. Room 105. The Kent Stater has, perhaps, the largest circulation of any college newspaper in Ohio because of another progressive step taken in 1928-29. It is sent to nearly 1500 alumni every week besides being distributed to every student and faculty member of the college. The total circulation is 2250. j t u y W F r i n J W ▼ Tf j Page one hundred twenty-seven i Chestnut Burr of ' 29 W CHI PI HONORARY JOURNALISTIC The Chi Pi Honorary Journalistic fraternity was organized in 1927 with the stated purpose of bringing editors of the various college publications in closer touch with each other, and to further the journalistic work of the College. Students who have made outstanding contributions to the literary work of the College are elected to membership by the active members of the fraternity each year. Rarely does a student with less than junior standing receive a bid to member- ship. k definite program of activities is being sponsored by the organization and will probably go into effect next year.

It is com- posed of members who are completing either a major or a minor course in Physical Education. There are now twenty-five members in the group. The organization has two objectives — professional, the discussion of the fields of Physical Education and mutual assistance in the college and the field; the other is social acquaintanceship and contact through good times. Two meetings are held each term, one being professional and the other social. The Physical Education club was organized in February, 1929. The following were elected to office: President, Mary McGillivray; Vice-President, Willard Fisher; Secretary and Treasurer, Lucille Hendricks. The advisers of the club are: Mrs. Marie Apple, Miss Edith Ball, Mr. George Altmann and Dr. A. O, Deweese. M V MU U ' V!PF yT .

The first all-college function was the informal reception given Dr. James O. Engleman the first Friday night of the term. He had assumed his new duties as president just a few days before. The first opportunity given the student body to meet him was at the first assembly when the auditorium was filled to overflowing with students who attended to hear his initial address. At the first faculty meeting called by President Engleman, he made a statement including ten points which he said would govern his administration at Kent State. Democracy of administration was the key note. The third week was marked by the annual Men ' s Union rally. More than one hundred and twenty-five students, faculty members and townspeople attended. A spirit of confident expectation for Kent State ' s future was voiced by student and faculty speakers. Dr. Engleman gave the principal talk of the banquet and won for himself the affectionate title of Prexy by the friendly attitude shown. All-college entertainment course numbers included a two day visit by Frederick Ward, noted Shakesperian actor, during which he delivered four addresses; the appearance of Edmund Vance Cooke, the Poet Laureate of Children, at an assembly lecture during which he read many of his own poems; the second presentation of The Tailor Alade Man, Home Coming Play; and an interesting lecture by Captain Kilroy Harris, Australian, who told a large audience of his native country. Another County Night, gala event of the summer sessions, passed into history as one of the most outstanding in the records of the College. An audience which packed the auditorium to capacity witnessed the stunt competition among twelve counties and saw Mahoning County emerge victorious. Portage and Ash- tabula Counties tied for second place. Other counties represented were: Columbiana, Summit, Lorain, Geauga, Cuyahoga, Stark, Trumbull, and Tuscarawas. After stunting the traditional lantern parade around the campus formed. The line of march ended in Wills gymnasium where a c ' rowd of seven hundred couples closed the festivities of the night with a dance which ended at 12 o ' clock. Graduation marked the end of the first six weeks term when President Engleman presided at a Kent State College graduation exercise for the first time. The grad- uating classes presented as a class gift a sum of money to be used as a nucleus for a fund with which to erect a College Memorial Gate. The graduating classes of the second summer term added to the Memorial Gate fund begun by the other classes. A frantic search was made during the first two weeks of the second term for another student to make an enrollment of eight hundred which would have seemed so many more than the seven hundred and ninety-nine actually enrolled. A new organization, the Women ' s Athletic Association, laid the foundation for a strenuous year of activity during ' 28 and ' 29 when it elected officers before the end of the summer term. Other summer activities included a series of tea talks, county picnics, Off Campus Women ' s Club activities, Women ' s League activities, trips to Cleveland and neighboring cities, fraternity and sorority function, all-college dances, step singing, Men ' s Union mixers, etc. j t r MU J u u y!

Shown above is just one instance of the help given by other departments. It is the stage setting for the second act of The Tailor Made Man, 1928 Home Coming play. This setting and the other two used in the play were planned and executed by the Art Department with the aid of the Manual Training Department. This is only one instance in many in which this spirit of helpfulness and co- operation has made for a successful production. Other instances may be cited as follows: The production of the operetta, Rosamunde, for which the Art Department designed and executed several sets of scenery with the aid of the Manual Training Department. In this production nearly a hundred costumes were made by the cast with the aid of the Home Economics Department. The Physical Education Department ' s masque, The Conflict, given in April 1929, was produced with the aid of the Departments of Art, Home Economics, Manual Training and other departments.

The ceremonies began on Friday morning, March 22, with the dedication of the new David Ladd Rockwell Library. The building was presented to the school by Judge David Ladd Rockwell, and it was accepted by Dr. Engleman. Miss Margaret Dunbar, Librarian, welcomed visitors, and responses were made by Julien S. Fowler, of Oberlin College, and Alice S. Tyler, of Western Reserve University. In the afternoon of the same day, the inauguration took place. Judge Rockwell presided, while several notable educators congratulated the President and extended greetings to the school. The chief speaker of the occasion was Governor Nlyers Y. Cooper, who prophesied for Kent State College a successful future, and announced, amidst great applause, that he would sign the Emmons-Hanna bill which had been approved by the Legislature, making Kent State a Liberal Arts College and permitting the Board of Trustees to grant both the Bachelor of Science and the Bachelor of , rts degrees. Other speakers of the afternoon were: President H. B. Williams, of Bowling Green College, Kent ' s sister institution, who told of the co-operation and good-will that existed between the two schools. Then President Robert E. Vinson, of Western Reserve University, extended felicitations to Kent State, saying that although Kent and Western Reserve would be in competition with each other since the passage of the Emmons-Hanna bill, he felt that it would be both necessary and advisable to co-operate. Miss May Prentice, Professor of Education, extended greetings from the faculty, and Mrs. Ruth A. Damon, of the Department of Reading and Public Speak- ing at Wellesley college, extended greetings from the alumni body. Following this. President Engleman delivered his inaugural address. In the evening a formal reception was held for President Engleman in Lowry Hall. Dr. Thomas W. Gosling, Head of the Akron city schools, acted as toastmaster. On Saturday morning, March 23, the William A. Cluff Training School was dedicated. The building was presented by Henry H. Helter, a member of the Board of Trustees, and was accepted by Dr. Amos L. Heer. Dr. William C. Bagley, nationally known educational authority from Columbia University, was the main speaker. At the Training School luncheon held Saturday noon, O. E. Pore, Superin- tendent of Ravenna city schools, presided as toastmaster. The entire array of events gave the citizenry of the state an opportunity to witness the fine work which is being conducted at Kent State College. The programs were broadcast through the courtesy of station WFJC, so that it was available to those who were interested but were unable to attend. President Engleman was congratulated on his excellent work in building up the school, and he received the good wishes of his colleagues in the field of education. Greater accomplishments will arise from his work, and the future of Kent State College seems assured. i M a j j jy M ¥w r n W Wr ywWr PffPr Page one hundred thirty-seven I Chestnut Burr of ' 29 ][ $k Prexy ' s Home LowRY Through the Trees Page one hundred thirty-eight Chestnut Burr of ' 29 u y Wr P r I F n n F y i WPr Page one hundred thirty-nine I Chestnut Burr of ' 29 ] I ' age one hundred forty Hall of Fame Page oiie hundred forty-one il Chestnut Burr of ' 29 ] MOST POPULAR MA1 Herbert Kelley PaOe one hundred fiirty-tira Chestnut Burr of ' 29 MOST POPULAR GIRL I ' AULINE KrAHL Page one hundred forty-three Chestnut Burr ol ' 29 BEST ATHLETE Claude Grabeb y ' ' UUMU yM ML i xx r k WI t fVWr k Page one hundred forty-four Chestnut Burr of ' 29 PEPPIEST GIRL Agnes Quinlan Page fve hundred forty-five Chestnut Burr of ' 29 BEST MAN STUDENT V.WL RUCKMAN Page one hnftdr forty-six Chestnut Burr of ' 29 BEST WOMAN STUDENT Eleanor Stone Page one hundred forty-seven 9..

His pleasant person- ality has made him a very popular person on the campus. But besides being pleasant he is an extremely capable coach. Since ' 2. ' 5, Coach Wagoner has been gradually building up material until this year he has produced the finest and most greatly feared teams Kent ever turned out. In this, his fourth year at Kent, Wagoner ' s teams turned the tables on many of their previous victors and threw a fear of Kent into the rest. As a result of this year ' s playing, Old Kent State will be a highly respected rival on the schedule of any team. |y|A V T [ Chestnut Burr of ' 29 I Back Row- -Kelso . msT., Sickn nan.

The season ' s playing con- sisted of eight games, with only two defeats, and in one of them the impossible actually happened. Remarkable improvement was shown over the previous year. Last year ' s team won one game, tied one and lost five, but it was a great defensive team. Total scores show opponents with 79 points and Kent 25. The Flashes this year practically reversed the previous season ' s record. Page one hundred seventy-eight I Chestnut Burr of ' 29 ]f Ralph Spangler Tackle Jimmie Menough Halfback ' illard Fisher End Not discouraged because of last year ' s record of only one win, but feeling rather elated because of their great defense, another game was added to the schedule, stronger opponents picked, and the Old Fight carried Kent through with a glorious record. Total for the season shows four games won, two tied and two lost. Carrying over their great defensive game from the year before, the Flashes added a remarkable line offense, and waded and swam through a most successful season, with a total of 89 points to opponents 32. Page one hundred seventy-nine l Chestnut Burr of ' 29 Jh Claude (iraljL ' r Guard Arthur Stejaskal Halfback The Akron game was the greatest disappointment of the whole season. They couldn ' t beat Kent, but they did even though Kent earned fifteen first downs to three for Akron. .Another peculiar phase of the Akron game was that the sun shone throughout the da)-. The rest of the games were played either in driving rains or on gridirons like quagmires. A curious feature of the season was the three cornered tie which resulted when Kent played a scoreless tie with Defiance and held Bowling Green 6 to 6. Bowling Green and Defiance also tied, but Bowling Green was one of the few undefeated teams of the cnuntrv. Kent fans drew their own conclusions. • • X. . i i rf C ' ' J ■ Mfh - K P S B H V V W L Page one hundred eighty l Chestnut Burr of ' 29 I Sherman Crow Guard Frank Curtiss End Clarence Hinkle Guard The Flashes forgot the meaning of Armistice Day and trimmed Indiana Normal for the first time in history. The game was played during a rain that fell in sheets, and spectators melted away before the game was over. Only a few exceptionally brave and loyal boosters saw the game to the finish. The most regrettable feature of the whole season was that only two home games were played, and both were played in driving rain. However, the fact that the Flashes played six games on foreign soil only adds more glory to the team. May Kent have many more teams as fine as this one.

The team won four times as many games as in the previous season and lost only half as many. In 1927-1928, three games were won by the Kent team, and thirteen lost. Although display- ing good defensive playing con- sistently, the team of that year lacked the scoring punch so vital to a winning team, and scored only 390 points against 509 for opponents. This year, however, the Flashes totaled 515 points to opponent ' s 516. Eleven games were won and seven lost. f ' ftf e nve hnvdrcd eighty-four I Chestnut Burr of ' 29 I The Flashes revenged two of their defeats later in the season, which left only five teams victors over Kent. Mount Union, Ohio Conference champions this year, was the only team able to defeat Kent twice. A losing streak of four games in one week marred the middle of the season. But the records show two of these games revenged and also a win- ning streak of five consecutive games. The Flashes played two more games than in the previous sea- son and won from five Ohio Con- ference teams. In the nine games with Conference teams the Flashes outscored their opponents in total points.

This is the team that the Flashes get most enjoyment in trimming, and this years defeat was the sec- ond in three years at the hands of Kent. Last year the two rivals did not meet. The old fight was on display at all times and opponents are view- ing Kent with a wary eye. Since the prospects for next year are excellent, no difficulty has been met with in arranging high-class schedules for future teams.

Two matches were held, each with Western Reserve, and honors were divided, Kent grapplers winning one matc ' i and Reserve the other. The grunters entered six matches this year and won four of them. They also entered the State meet at Cleveland, and every man who entered, placed. Two of them succeeded in winning second places, and five men captured third places. Prospects for next year are excellent, and the matmen are well on the road to making wrestling a major sport at Kent. Spectators of these matches strained on their seats as much as the men on the mat. The fight the boys put into their matches infected the students present and made them feel the joy of victory or the pangs of defeat as much as the men on the team. y W x WV Page one hundred ninety-four I Chestnut Burr of ' 29 ] nEN ' 5 INTRfinURd flTHCETIC5 .Ct I IXTRA-: IURAL ATHLETICS A small but strong beginning was made toward establishing a system of intra- mural athletics at Kent State during the year. Under the direction of Prof. George J. Altman and the Department of Physical Education three intra-class athletic events have already been staged and a fourth one is being planned. The Junior class is at present leading in the race for the victory trophy to be awarded the winning class at the end of the year. This trophy will be awarded by the Department of Physical Education. yi j uj t ju u T F w i n j W n i W Page one hundred ninety-five Chestnut Burr of ' 29 ] The combination of Stratton and Strawman, both Juniors, placing first and second respect iveh- in the cross-country run in the fall gave the Juniors an advantage from the start. The next event, a gymnasium meet, was won by the Seniors to tie with the Juniors for first place. The Juniors, however, broke the tie and again went into first place when they walked away with honors in the intra-class swimming meet held in the College pool. k tW N .

The organization made its grand opening of the year in the fall term with a picnic to which all the women of the college were invited. The event was held in the college woods, and about three hundred were present. An interesting and varied program was presented to the members of the group throughout the year. Activities typical of the season were ardently participated in, in addition to which other events were given. There were four dancing clubs, and one swimming club. Several important all-college functions were held under the auspices of the organization. A swimming meet, a play night, a track meet and a gym meet were some of the more important events. A circus held in the gym provided entertain- ment of a new type. At the present time plans are being made for an intercollegiate play day, to which ten colleges are being invited. It is hoped that representatives from neighboring institutions will come here to help make the project a success. Nothing of the kind has ever been done at Kent before, and therefore the event will be watched with interest.
