May you ever grow in grace as well as strength of character; in wisdom and understanding not less than in knowledge of books; in love for children and in good will for all men and women whom you may reach even with your influence; in desire that shall equal your capacity to serve; and in health and vigor of body and mind, such that with length of days given unto you, service still be a source of supreme satisfaction to you, as it is to the College that helped to equip and inspire you for it.

DEAN OF MEN— MATHEMATICS The history of mathematics shows an in- teresting series of changes from the time it was strictly utihtarian through the period when it was chiefly, A handmaiden of Theology , to its present return to utili- tarian uses. Living, as we do, in an age of machines we find an increasing demand for courses stressing fact information and study of cer- tain and logical conclusions from accepted assumptions. It is reasonable to find, there- fore, that in our modern educational system mathematics holds an important place. At present we offer a wide variety of courses to meet the needs of those majoring in our various departments. These range from methods for presenting fundamental number ideas to children in the Kindergar- ten to the highly technical courses for those looking forward to the scientific vocations. DEAN OF WOMEN Graduates of 1931 — For you we trust college has been no finishing school , but a place of real beginnings. If the opening of college meant the opening of your mind, if you have continued to welcome new truth, and ever to open your heart wider to friendship and your soul to the inflowing spirit, if the horizon of your entire being has widened, then for you college has been a successful adventure. Now as you leave the campus to enter into the unknown fu- ture, may you accept Robert Browning ' s challenge to greet the unseen with a cheer. hlow leaving all behind, facing to the dawn- ing, Sons of dear Kent State, welcoming the morning, Seekers of Light, go forth! Heirs to the wisdom treasured through the ages. E ' er scanning wisdom ' s hook, searching thru the pages. Seekers of Truth, go forth! So college days well done, moved by noble vision, Our commonwealth to serve, this shall he your mission. Seekers of Light and Truth. 20 i:5i«t! Ml C. S. an Deuses. M.E. J. I ' . Johnson, A.B. MANUAL IRAINMNG DEPAR IMENT The aim of manusl training is to develop thru actual participation in hand vori . me- chanical intelligence m all pupils, irrespec- tive of their future ocations. The above statement of the aim of man- ual training is the guide for this depart- ment. All grade room and rural teachers should take work in this department. They are the ones who should gi e an increasing amount of this work in the schools of the state and they should be prepared to use it in motivating other lines of school work. The demand still exceeds the supply for men who can teach mechanical drawing, wootlwork. metalwork, printing, simple me- chanics, fiber cord work, etc., and the de- partment aims to give a good preparation for such positions. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 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 supply of people establishes a permanent and basic interest. While the food getting acti ities are es- sential to satisfs ' human needs the vocation provdies abundant opportunities to grow and mature in the higher le els of social and spiritual attainment. .Agriculture is more than a vocation dealing with ma- terials, it is a way of living. •Agriculture as a ocation because the daily activities are clearly associated, with nature provides a body of experience of sound educational value. In iewing the subject of agriculture as a stud) ' of a moile of life economic values would obscure edu- cational values. Since human aspirations transcend human needs the subject of agri- culture is emphasized as means of education. 21 f f ' 0ftBK m Bh BL ' 1 A. Sellew Roberts, A.B., M.A., Ph.D. Edgar . ' . Packard, M. A. DEPARTMENT OF HiSTOR ■ AND SOCIAL SCIENCE The Department of History and Social Science has a two-fold aim. On the one hand it attempts to give to the prospective history teacher that sound and thorough grasp of the subject matter involved without which success as a history teacher is impos- sible. But on the other hand the depart- ment aims to help the general student to the cultural background which will enaible 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 ac- quainted 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, sociology and econo- mics, 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. THE ENGLISH DEPARTiMENT The year 1930-1931 has been made out- standing in our English department by the addition of new teachers, new courses and a much larger enrollment. Professor Sat- terfield has been absent on a year ' s leave of absence while working on his doctorate at Columbia. Buryl F. Engleman has substi- tuted for him. Mr. Engleman has also had charge of the Kent Stater. He has been assisted by the Editor, Harold Jones, and they have greatly improved that publica- tion. Professor Stump has been added to take care of the speech subjects. The col- lege, under his tutelage, has been able to place high in inter-collegiate debating. Pro- fessor Bross has been added to assist Pro- fessor Pake with the Freshman work. Dr. Burner of the History department has had one class in English throughout the year and Miss Mays has had charge of the sub- freshman classes. 22 Nina S. Humphrey D. W. PhARCb. A.M. DEPARTMENT OP ART The art needs of the Child, the Communit ' and the State as given by the .Art Director of a neighboring state offers us a clear ob- jective for the work of the .Art Department. First — .-Xll need sense training and a fine discrimination in the selection, the purchase, and the use of manufactured articles for the person and the home. These may be de- scribed as 10IJ% needs. Second — The community needs citizens who desire attracti e homes, beautiful ards, parks, plasgrounds, school buildings, mu- seums, monuments, and all that contributes to civic beauty and civic pride. Third — The merchant needs salespeople with fine taste and sound aesthetic judgment, beautiful show windows, and attractive ad- vertising, for these will sell the goods . Fourth — The manufacturer of te.xtiles, wall paper, carpets, rugs, furniture, potter ' . glass, silverware, jevvelr , lighting fixtures, and art metal products requires designers and artis- tic craftsmen who will make these products ever more beautiful and attractive. Fifth — The printing industrs ' requires il- lustrators, designers of book and magazine covers, artistic magazines and poster adver- tising, and attractive labels for toilet prep- arations, food containers, etc. Sixth — The State requires painters, sculp- tors, architects, and museum directors. It requires teachers and supervisors of art for its elementarv and secondary schools, for its colleges and universities. DEPARTMENT OP EDUCATION AND PSYCHOLOGY The Department of Education and Psy- chology is striving diligentlv to base its psychology firmly upon modern conceptions of biology. If it can succeed reasonably well in this, notable contributions mav be made to the profession of teacning through the discovery and formulation of principles upon which methods of sound teaching pro- cedure may be based. In our basic courses in Principles of Education cognizance is taken of the changing needs of an industrial and economic civilization. The resulting conception of the aim of education is not, therefore, some antiquated view long since discarded, but one fitted to present progress. In our courses in Organization and Man- agement the attempt is made to put our students abreast of the times in motiern theory, yet by no means, to leave them in a wilderness of ologies and isms ' , As far as possible we desire that our students shall go out to their fields of labor with a real- ization of the tasks to be done, and a prac- ticality that shall enable thciii to accom- plish them successfullv. 23 Edith Belle Rowlen, A.M. David Olson, M.Sc, A.B. FRENCH DEPARTMENT What have been the findings of the Mod- ern Foreign Language Study? To stress greatly the advisability of having the em- phasis in teaching placed upon training stu- dents to read as soon as possible. To ugre this necessity even more in case the language is begun in college. Since the work of the French Department is planned to conform to these principles, it is possible very early in the course for students to begin to appreciate the spirit of France by seeing for themselves how na- tional traits, characteristics and problems are viewed by some of the literary geniuses of that country. Further progress increases the number of these points of interest and comparison. Time honored and modern writings open up new fields and interpreta- tions of history, literature, science, art and travel. So one may dwell at home, but li e be ond the seas. DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY How big is your world? How far does your imagination soar? How deep does your understanding penetrate? To what ex- tent is your mind unshackled from super- stition and prejudice? The answer to these and manv questions like them are functions of your geographic study and reading. Even to know where the places one reads of are, what their climate is and how they are peo- pled, is something: but in its wider mean- ing, as the science which aims at the ex- planation 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 applica- tions of the principles of geographw 24 A. O. DeWeese, iM.D. Bektiia L. NixsoN, M.A, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND PllNSICAL EDUCATION The Student Health Service of Kent State College is organized upon the three follow- ing assumptions: 1. That educationalls ' it is now generally recognized that Health is a fundamental fac- tor in training and preparation for citizen- ship since the health of the bo ' and girl materiall ' determines endurance, disposition and attitude, and endurance, disposition and attitude itally alTect happiness and effi- ciency. 2. That in the training and preparation for citizenship the school is as much respon- sible for the preser ation and protection of the child ' s health and de elopment of his ph ' sical efiicienc ' and well-being as it is in the guidance and training of his mental attainments. 3. That an abundance of radiating health and physical well-being is of more import- ance to the class room teacher than in an intlividual in any other profession, since an example in well-being is an incentive of greatest importance in Health Education, anil an unhealth ' teacher cannot be in com- plete sympathy with the attitude and dis- position of live, healthy, out-door-minded bo s and girls. DEPARTMENT OV- IIO.ME ECONOMICS The students welcomed the return of Bertha L. Nixson last year, head of the de- partment, who had been absent on a ear ' s leave which included study at Columbia and a summer ' s travel and study in Europe. .Miss Nona Isabel Jordan is the clothing specialist. She is a graduate of Drake Uni- ersity and Columbia. While the primar ' purpose of the depart- ment is the training of teachers of home economics we are anxious to serve the ever increasing numbers of general students who are becoming more and more interested in the various phases of home economics. Sev- eral new courses have been introduced and a new minor for the general students has been added to the curriculum. Through the efforts of the students in the department the administration has sponsor- ed a practice house for the major and minor students of home economics. Six students ami a faculty representative enjo ' the com- forts of home along with its responsibilities. 25 Florence M. Sublette, B.S., A.M. A. L. Heer, a. M. A., Ph.D. DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC EDUCATION Since September, 1927, there has been much expansion in this department. Two full- time instructors, one in the College and one in the Training School, aided by part-time instructors in piano and voice, formed the staff of 1927. September, 1928, saw the ad- dition of one instructor, Mr. Steere; and with September, 1929, came two more. Miss Littlejohn and Mr. Metcalf. The present staff is composed of five full-time instructors and a part-time instructor in voice. One room was used by the department in 1927. Since then we have grown until four rooms are necessary to provide for our activities. With new teachers and new equipment has come the opportunity to offer not oni a major and a minor in the department but to take our places alongside some of our sister colleges in offering a four-year degree course in Music Education. In this one year more than a dozen students have enrolled in the department for these advanced courses. We realize that with this growth come new responsibilities. May we ever do more to make music a vital part in the life of this community, and through teachers who are keenly alive, may reach the hearts of chil- dren and thus have a widespread influence throughout all of north-eastern Ohio. TRAINING SCHOOL The training department at present is re- sponsible for the courses in observation and in practice teaching. It is the purpose of the course in observation to integrate the various principles taught in psychology, classroom-management, and methods, and give them meaning by observing teaching and learning. It also aims to give the pros- pective teacher an opportunity to use these principles in analyzing teaching and learn- ing in the class room as a prsparation for actual teaching. It is here that the prospec- tive teacher attempts to apply principles in actual teaching and learning situations. Here the teacher is directed in acquiring those class room procedures which are ef- fective in teaching. Not all of the practice teaching is being done in the campus training school. At present the elementary schools in the City of Kent and the Franklin Township schools are being used for practice teaching. This year a supervisor has been added to the training school faculty who supervises the practice teaching done in off campus schools. 26 C. F. RuMOLD. A.B., LL.B. G. I Iazei. Swan, B.S. DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL SCIENCES The Department of Physical Sciences at Kent State College offers in regular courses 102 term hours in Chemistry and 3U term hours in Ph. sics. In addition special courses are arranged for students who have the necessary preparation for profitably pur- suing the work. Students who are working 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 fundamen- tal sciences. It is intended to gi e in these courses the training in the presentation of the facts and principles which will equip one for successfull ' teaching these sciences in the high schools. Those students who are looking forward to careers in the applied sciences will find in the more advanced courses work tqui alent to similar courses in the colleges and universities. Eaboratory facilities are unexcelled and much emphasis is given to individual laboratory work. KINDERGARTEN-PR I. 1AR DEPARTMENT It is ery gratifying to announce that the Kindergarten-Primar ' Department now has twenty-two students registered for three and four year work. All of these students are acti ' e members of the Kindergarten-Primary Club which was organized in February, 192 ' ). Ihe aim of this group is to help in ever ' a pos- sible the Nurser - - Kindergarten - Primary causes or the work with oung children. The club has a number of interesting plans for the ' ear to render ser ice. This student club is a branch of Ihe In- te ' lational Kindergarten I nion and is one ol ' few student branches belonging to the international body. Last May the club sent two delegates to the international meetings at Rochester, New ' ork. This year it is sending one to Memphis, Tennessee. It is the hope of the department that an- other instructor ma - be added soon so that all the courses of the department nia ' be given to keep this fine, earnest group of twenty-two young women. 27 Margaret Dunbar, B.L. H. A. Cunningham, B.S., M.A. THE LIBRARY- During the last week of August, 1929, the library of Kent State College was moved from the Administration Building where it had had its home for twelve years to the new David Ladd Rockwell Building which had been especially designed and built to house it and to provide a pleasant place in which it might be used. The buildmg has proved well fitted to the purpose for which it was planned and dedicated; its beauty is a joy to every stu- dent; its proportions, colors, ample light, heat, ventilation, and noiseless floors unob- trusively give comfort and pleasure to everyone who uses it. The library, now numbering over forty thousand volumes, is growing to meet the new requirements of the College and with adequate appropriations which will be made from time to time will be able to meet the needs of students in all courses and to sup- ply also recreational reading. DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY There are many big themes in biology; one of which is the Behavior of Organ- isms . Human education, since it deals with ways and means of modifying the be- havior of conscious human beings, is really one subdivision of biology. Every one should be interested in making a superior adjust- ment to his environment; in adjusting his environment to himself; and in understand- ing, and influencing, at times the behavior of others. The prospective teacher is immediately in- terested in biology as a fundamental aid in the solution of classroom behavior problems and as an introduction to such subjects as hygiene, nature study, physical education, psychology, and child study. Biology is prevocational to such other occupations as agriculture, dentistry, medicine, forestry, etc., because these occupations are based upon fundamental laws and principles of biology. 28 J. E. MAubE, M.A., D.C.L. Emmf.t Stopher, A.B., A.M. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND FINANCE I he modern business world is based upon a money economy. As our country becomes more industrialized, business forges ahead more and more as a distinctive field. In fact business is showing signs of becoming a profession. To meet these new conditions scientific training is mandatory. The old apprenticeship system required too much. It was inefficient in that it lacked standard- ization which is necessar ' in modern mass production. .Again, the old education was largel. ' cul- tural. It was for the gentleman. Today one must commercialize his educ.ition. In other words it must make him a lising. Then it is imperative that one be specificallx qualified to do something well. For these reasons a commercial education should receive the serious attention of every young man and voung woman in choosing their life work, it maj ' be used in the pro- fession of teaching or in a business career. In either case a college training in business is a gilt-edge investment and opens up limit- less opportunities professionally anti finan- cially. DEPARTMENT OF TEACHER-PLACEMENT AND E.XTRA-MURAL ACTI ITIl-S The activities of this depiirtment may be classed as: 1. Teacher-Placement 2. Super ision of recent graduates in the field 3. Directing home stud department 4. .Arranging for extension class centers r .Alumni activities (V Field relations During the spring and summer terms, a er ' large part of the time is given to a sur- vey of teaching needs and a study of the qualifications of candidates. .Ml members of the present graduating class are urged to enroll with the Teacher-Placement Bureau. Its advice and help is available also to for- mer graduates and undergraduates. An elTort is made to make a continuous check-up on graduates. It is hoped that the college will be able to publish a directory of all gradiiates some time next ear. 29 Mkri.e Wagoner, B.S. in Agr. HEAD COACH I believe that the year 1931 will go down in the athletic history of Kent State College as the one of greatest achievement. While our teams have made a creditable showing in competition, our greatest achievement has undoubtedly come through the efforts of the Athletic Committee in obtaining a mem- bership in the Ohio Athletic Conference of Colleges. Early in October, 1929, Dr. De Weese and Mr. Davey attended a meeting of this conference and presented our case, v.ith the result that we as a College were granted the customary probationary mem- bership of one year, after which we automa- tically became a member in full standing. This Conference is composed of n group of Colleges such as Akron, Mt. Union, Hiram, Oberlin, and other leading Colleges of the state, which have organized for the advance- ment of the type and quality of intercolleg- iate athletics in the State of Ohio. This means that for the first time in its history Kent State College has an athletic eligi- bility rule, the one year residence rule, and, above all, competes with other Colleges in this district and state on an equal footing. 30 MR.

The College Theatre With the arri ' al of Professor E. Turner Stump, certain students interested in dramatics banded together and with the en- dorsement of Alpha Psi Omega, the national honorars ' dramatic fraternity, appointed Eldon Scoutten to present a petition to the president asking the establishment of a college theatre. The petition was favorabl ' received and the theatre was founded with o er one hundred and (ift - charter members. Tak- ing the advantage of the excellent facilities offered in the new college stage the group produced the Melting Pot amid great acclamation and approval. This marks the first step in a truly democratic group of dra- matic players. The successes of the group in future ears lies entirely in the hands of the students who are left. The senior class of 1 )31 trusts that they will not fail to carry the good work on to its utmost completion. 09 Blinded by the light that glared. They stood in little groups mid stared.

Wagoner Of the several things of w hich Kent State may justly be proud is the fact that a man such as Coach Wagoner is at the helm of the athletic ship. With unwavering courage, keen insight into human problems and a firm resolve to put our athletics on a higher plane, he has endeared himself to every student in this college. Assistant Coach Joe Begala Coach Begala has made himself felt in more ways than one, and (2oach Wagoner is to be complimented upon securing such a man as an assistant. Begala ' s wrestling teams ha ' e won state anil national recognition, and he is responsible fcir the splendid show- ing of the football line tluring the past two }ears. 97 If Arlein Brown Lcis Scott Ruth Wacar Cheerlead ers Kent State has never had a real live cheering section. Now and then a few patriotic students will gather about one of the above and emit a few attempts at cheering. Cheering may help the team and again it may not. The fact remains, however, that whether or not it aids the team, it is a great satisfaction to the cheerleaders to hear a hearty response to their eiforts. Of course the best sort of cheering and that which encourages the teams most, is not the mechanical yells directed by a convulsive auto- maton, but a real spontaneous outburst which is not given at the plea of the cheerleader but at the instigation of one ' s emotion. The cheerleaders are a hardworking crew and their assignment is not easily filled. Hence they deserve our full support. 98 i I Iarley Seiss William Edmiston Robert Blvthe Manasers ' I lie underdog at an athletic contest al va ' s gets a big hand and lots of encouragement. But the real underdog is unknown to the audience. Who is it that toils long after the team has gone home, in cleaning up the rooms which they ha e used? Who is it that runs his legs oflf at the commands of exeryone from the president to the janitor? It is not the coach. It is the poor, toil- ing manager. Theirs is the only true part in the game. They don ' t play for public applause. Thev don ' t get paid. Now anil then the - get a letter. The - work just as hard as the team. The}- wi rk longer.

Union 18 Kent State 6 — Akron 12 Kent State — Case 6 Kent State 0— Ashland Kent State 6 — Hiram Kent State 26 — Capitol Kent State 13 — Defiance 6 Summarizing the season does not result in such a poor conclusion when one considers the calibre of the teams which our varsit) ' met — and conquered. Last year was the first season in which Kent played as a member of the Ohio Conference, it is one of which to be proud. The Golden Flashes of last year were the finest group that this college has ever produced. Mt. L ' nion. fresh from a defeat at the hands of O. S. U. experienced great diffi- cultv in downing the fighting team from Kent. Akron found an unexpected tartar in our team and won only after two freak runs on the part of their one-man team. Case of Cle ' eland which had been romping through opponents in an easy stvle, was hard pushed to beat our men b ' one touchdown. Ashland trounced thirteen Ohio teams but could not even score on us. Capitol U was rounding out an undefeated season when Kent stepped in and ruined an otherwise perfect home-coming day by scoring a real victory to the tune of 26-0. Hiram offered little resistance and were it not for the oozy field we would have beaten them -et more severely. Defiance met us for our home-coming game and they were repulsed, 13-6. Three wins, as many losses and one tie gives us the respectable average of .500 for the season with a total of 57 points scored against 42 of the opposition. The speedy backfield stars including, Cocky Kilbourne. Art Stejskal, Deke Abbott, Phil Barry and Bill Disbro, made more first downs than the opposition in every game but two. The defensive power of the team was a big asset. The five center men on the line have been characterized as the best in Ohio. They were K. Ta lor, Fannelly, jMerrell, Sapp and Shelle -. The group of ends played no small part in the success of the team. Stellar performances were turned in b ' Housely, W. Taylor. Hager- don. Hall and Hicksted. Four stars are lost by graduation: Kilbourne, Sapp, Stejskal and Barr -. Kilbourne is one of the best fullbacks in the country. Sapp is material for an all- Ohio selection. Stejskal wrought havoc with all opponents lines and is one of the greatest line-plungers in the state. Barry was a seasonal find and in one game gained an average of seven yards every time he carried the ball. Prospects for another season are bright an how. The freshman squad, coached b - Lennie Brickman, has a wealth of material and should produce some future stars. Gear, Kinnev, Stahl, Heber, Johnson and llissner showed up well in the scrimmages against the varsit -. An impressive schedule has been arranged for next season and we ma ' well be optimistic. 103 Art Stejskal North Olmstead, O.; Senior; Halfback; Weight 180. The Powerhouse oj the Kent Attack.

He has brought our teams from something to be laughed at. up to a position where, todaw they are kno n and feared on every campus in the state. Kent State is no longer a normal school. We are a college, a full-fledged men ' s college. As such we deserve to be represented b ' first class teams. And we have those teams. But those teams cannot be forthcoming unless changes be made to suit the growth of the school. Wagoner needs a staff. He needs his full time available for his duties as coach. He neeiis untrammeled authorit ' in his (iekl. 1 le needs a ' ailable Iiolm ' s in the g.vm. lie needs LESS meddling on the part of certain facult ' and townspeople.

The ' trimmed Muskingum., Marietta, Hiram and Case. Those four teams represent the cream of the Ohio Confer- ence. Then the ' went into a slump and fell to Akron. Mt. Lnion and several others. The fault was not with Coach Wagoner. A man who is allowed the grand total of four and five hours of weekl ' practice and who can turn out a team such as Kent has. is a man to be retained and treasured. I le has ideals high enough to place Kent al the top but when his time is de ' oted to tasks in other (.lepartments his ideals have to suffer. Gi ' e Wagoner a fair chance ani.1 then let ' s sec his team per- form. E en now he gives a .500 average.

Baseball as a college sport is a relic of antiquity. Despite the lack of interest Wag has produced some good teams in past years. 118 I I ' I Wrestling Although it is Kent ' s oungest arsit_ ' sport, wrestling is also one of its most popular. This is due to the calibre of the teams which we are putting out. Two state champions last ear and three this ear ga e us national notice. Stejskal, Dunla e ' and Alenough came thru this ear. So far this season the team has downetl .Miami, Case and .Akron, the latter b - a score of 40-0. The - ha e lost to Ohio U. ani.1 to Ohio State B. Coach Begala is to be complimented on his team and Chaplain . rt Stejskal, the state Champ of last ear, is to be confjratulaled upon the splentlid style in which he leads his men. 119 If Men s Intramural Sports Intramural sports were first introduced at Kent last year when competition was held among the three fraternities and the independent men. The sports are under the direction of Professor George J. Altmann, of the physical education depart- ment. During each quarter of the school year various tournaments are held and the winners of each are awarded a certificate and points towards the year ' s trophy. Spring, 1930 The contests held were in tennis, in which the Delta Phi Sigma men took first place and in Indoor Baseball in which the Kappa Mu Kappa took first place. At the recognition banquet the first year ' s trophy was awarded to and became the permanent possession of the Delta Phi Sigma Fraternity. New trophies will be offered each year and will be awarded to the team which has compiled the greatest number of points during the year. 120 Fall, 1930 With the opening of the fall term came the opening of new competition and the following tourne_ s produced the following winners: Cross-Country Run — I ndependents X ' olley Ball — Independents Horse Shoes — Delta Phi Sigma Winter, 1931 The acti ' ities of the winter term included basketball, handball, a g m meet anil a swimming meet. .At the time this book went to press the Kappa .Mu Kappa men had won first place in the basketball ames: Delta Phi Sigma had taken hand- ball ani.1 the sv.im meet, while the Independents took the gym meet. The purpose of intramural sports is to give to the mediocre pla er an oppor- tunit to indulge in healths ' endea or and. to develop fellowship among the men of the college. ' arsit - men are barreil from competition in the various sports and strict rules of eligibility are upheld. 121 122 123 r f Women ' s Athletic Association The Kent branch of the National Women ' s Athletic Associa- tion was organized in May, 1928, for the purpose of furthering the national motto, Play for Plaj ' s Sake . The association is now in its third year of activity at Kent. .Any woman student is eligible to membership after she has earned fifty points in sports sponsored by the W. A. A. All the members are divided into two teams, the Yanks and the Rebels. This furthers the competitive spirit. Sports in which the associations participate are as follows: soccer, basefootball, basketball, volleyball, baseball, horse shoes, bowling, paddle ten- nis, handball, clogging, archery, tennis, swimming and track meets, The groups sponsor several all-college functions. The high mark of each year is the annual Circus. The association deserves credit for the splendid way in which it is achieving its goal of Play for Play ' s Sake . 124 Varsity K Club After a period of comparative inactivity the club was reorgan- ized this year and has been fairly active to date. The members are those who have won their varsity K in competition at Kent. The se ' eiai coaches are also members. One of the prime purposes of the club is to pre ' ent the wearing of other than college letters and to create fellowship among the athletes at the college. Officers of the club are as follows. President, Frank Mc- Caslin: Nice-Presidents. Arthur Stejskal and Ted Sapp: Treasurer. Walter Taxior, anel Secretar ' , Harland Sickman. 125 ACTIVITIES : k: x: -7- zr 126 128 129 Collese Social Committee The college social committee is made up of several facult ' members and one student member from each of the four classes and from each of the several representative groups on the campus. It is the policy of the social committee to legislate and provide for all social functions which are in any waj ' connected with the college. It has been the policy in the past to require all organizations wishing to hold or to sponsor a social function to signify such at the proper place and to take the neces- sary steps toward receiving permission from the committee. During the past year several worthy changes have taken place. These have given greater liberty to the college students. This is a state school and as such should not be taunted v,ith the fears and scruples of a religious school. It is the policy of the social committee to overcome as fast as possible, the few remaining and antiquated scruples of some of the older members of the faculty. 130 Womcn s League President ------- Helen MacCurdy Vice-President ----- Harriette Crawford Secretary --.... Margaret Porter Treasurer ------ Pauline Serrett The omen ' s League is much like the Men ' s Union in that it auto- maticall - includes all women in school. The league sponsors several social functions such as the Big and Little Sister T ' eas, the New Year ' s Bali and the Sunset Dances. The women of the facult - are included as honorar - members. 131 Men s Union CHAIRMEN Charles Dunn ------ Delta Phi Sigma DwiGHT Myers ----- Sigma Tau Gamma Louis Fogg ------ Kappa Mu Kappa Harry Rutter ------ Independents The Men ' s Union automatically includes in its membership all the men in the college, both on the faculty and in the student body. It sponsors annual events including the New Year ' s Ball and other all- college functions. The aim and the hope of the group is to advance good will and fellowship among the men of the college. 132 Kent State Council Membership in the Council is composed of one representati e from each men ' s organization. The Pan-Hellenic Association, The Women ' s League, The OlT Campus Women, and the Dormitory Women. The Dean of Women and the Dean of i len are the ad isors of the group and work with the members in all matters. Many activities were sponsored b - the Council during the year. n assemble at which the Freshmen were received by the upper classes, was under their direction. This is a valuable custom and it is hoped that it will be preserved as an annual function. Class elections were under the direction of the Council, as was the Red Cross dri ' e for this -ear. 7 he Council meets once a month to discuss problems arising from student activities and to solve them in so far as it is in its power to do so. Kent State Council through acquisition of more power each year is becoming an important organization on the campus. Its progress is to be commended, for student go ' ernment is a sign of a growing institu- tion. 133 And he answered. What ' s the use Of this bragging up aiul dowu? 134 135 The Chestnut Burr StaFf The staff of the Chestnut Burr has endeavored to produce the best book in the history of the college. It is for the students to decide. The book was Eldon F. Scoutten, Ed.tor produced two months earlier than ever before and over 1000 copies were sold. This alone is something of which to be proud. The book is the product of the students of the college. Certain grievances there are because of the difference of opinion among the college faculty as to just how the book should be edited. Certain selfish individuals evidently wish to make the Burr a product of their departments. It is actually a product of the student body. The work throughout, wherever feasible, has been done by students. We have ac- cepted the bitterness dished up to us and bourne the slanders piled upon us with the sustaining philosophy that, after all, this is life. The outcome of it all is this book. We hope you will like it. 136 Staff Members James N. Holm Business Manager Editorial: Arthur Hommei.

Edited by Harold Jones and supervised by Buryl Engleman, it represents the Harold R. Jones, Editor highest type of collegiate journalism. It provides a weekly mirror to the events of the campus. With its non-par- tisan policy, its freedom from fraternity and sorority politics and its modern out- look, it is truly a paper of which to be proud.

The band, under the direction of Mr. Roy D. Metcalf made its first appearance in foreign fields at the Capitol foot- ball game. Its appearance there as well as at all home games was a step forward of which the college should be proud. To know that supporters are behind them away from home as well as at home, is a great inspiration to the college teams. Financial difllculties kept them from attending other games abroad. It is hoped that such trouble will not appear in coming years. 142 «s«s? Orchestra The College Orchestra under the direction of Professor Roy D. Metcalf is one of the fine things at Kent. Offering a credit to those interested, it produces the appreciation of line music, and turns out a creditable production whenexer it performs. It has been used at several dramatic productions. 143 Glee Clubs When one stops to count the various things which the students of Kent State are doing, one immediately thinks of the glee clubs. These clubs are composed of anyone in the college who may wish to avail himself of the opportunity to indulge in food for the aesthetic senses and at the same time gain college credit. Both groups are under the direction of the jMusic Department and are supervised by Miss McCiafflin. The various concerts which they have produced and the various re- citals which they have given in chapel are proof enough of the fme work which they are doing. Officers for the year are ; President ------- George War.man Secretar y-T reasurer - - . - Arthur Peebles Librarian -------- Forest Hawk 144 Our New Theatre This spring mari ed tiie opening and dedication of our new and re- modeled theatre and auditorium. The stage as it now stands is the largest college stage and the most completely equipped in the state of Ohio. There are onl - two other stages in the colleges of the nation which are greater than ours. One is at ' ale and the other is at the University of Michigan. The equipment which has been installed on and in our stage is of the finest. The equipment and the stage itself is an exact duplicate of the stage of the Playhouse in Cleveland. The senior class of Kent State College has been interested in such a development for the last four ears. Now that we have it, even though that class can never enjoy it, that class is grateful to the administration and to the State of Ohio that thev ha e given to our students, such an unusual opportunity as is represented in the new college theatre. 145 Fresh woodbines climb and interlace.

Curtains, rugs and other fu rnishings were pur- chased for the house with money earned. The Practice House also serves as a club house where many social gatherings are held. The activities of the club are varied. Open house was held during freshman week. Its residents have entertained many members of the facult ' .

The official name of the club is Le Cercle . 150 The OFf Campus Women ' s Club This organization is composed of women of tiie college who are living oflF the campus, and it is one of the oldest and most active groups in the college.

The fraternity which has over ninety active chapters, or casts as they are called, presents at least one play every year. The production of Dust of the Road , under the direc- tion of Professor E. Turner Stump, was one of the high spots of the college _ ' ear. The local cast is headed b ' James Holm while the National Direc- tor and founder is E. Turner Stump, of Kent. At present the fraternity boasts a membership of over one hundred persons, thirty of which are members of the active and pledge chapters. 152 Physical Education Club The Ph}sical Education Club of Kent State College was organized in the fall quarter of 1928.

At the first business meeting the following officers were elected: President ------- Victor Moore Vice-President ----- Catherine Conroy Secretary-Treasurer ----- Luella King The advisors are: George Altmann and Miss Ruth Bass. The club sponsors two functions each term: one a social, the other a business meeting. The first social meeting of tiie jear 1930-1931 was a banquet at Hotel Franklin. Mr. Rowe, of the Cleveland schools, addressed the seventy members present. Plans for the winter and spring quarters include outdoor social meetings in addition to the business meetings. M 153 The Kindersarten-Primary Club This club, organized in 1929, is composed of students who are major- ing in Kindergarten-Primary work. The club is a branch of the national organization called the Association of Childhood Education. At present the club has an active roll of seventy-five members. It takes a large part in the charity and educational work of the college and of the city. The officers of the club are: President ------- Elizabeth Ludt Vice-President ----- Olive Bumphrey Treasurer ------ Margaret Carroll Corresponding Secretary - - - Lena Heidelberg Recording Secretary - - - - Lucille Truscott Faculty Advisor ------- Miss Swan 154 Independent Men s Club The membership of this club is drawn indiscriminately from the men who have not become afTiliated with any fraternal order. The club members participate in intra-mural activities with the men from the three fraternities. The club has certain social functions periodi- cally and last year issued a challenge to the fraternities to meet them in euchre, chess, ping pong and other games. The membership is not binding and the members are at liberty to drop out at any time if a chance to join a fraternity should arise. President - - - - - ' - - Wilfred Slater Vice-President . . . . . Arthur Tumpach Secretary-Treasurer . - - - Walter Shammo Faculty Advisor ------ Mr. Harbourt 155 y. w. c. A. This group which is a branch of the national organization, initiated one hundred and twenty-seven members last fall at a very impressive service. Various picnics and social functions are sponsored each year. Charity plays a big part in the activities of the group, The regular meetings are conducted every week at 312 Merrill. The group sends certain delegates to the state convention each year. The officers of the club are: President - - - - - -.-- Ruth Lytle Secretary - - - - - - - Eleanor Stone Treasurer - - - - - Dorothy McClelland Faculty Advisor ------ Dean Verder 156 y. M. C. A. With a marked increase in membership, the Y. M. C. A. began its second jear as a student organization of the college in the fall of 1930. Regular weeklj- meetings were held in Merrill Hall on Wednesday even- ings. The following members were elected and installed in ofTice: President ------- Walter Shammo Vice-President ----- Franklin W ' illl ms Secretary ------- Clayton Alden Treasurer ------ Arthur Tumpach Council Representative - - - George McCague Publicity Chairman - - - - John McFarland Faculty Advisor - - - Professor Edward Pake The Y. .M. C A. has a physical, mental, social, and spiritual aspect to its functions. The physical side is evidenced in meetings in the g ' mnasium. The club has suppers, roasts, and parties for its mem- bers. In its live, up-to-date discussions, a medium for developing ideas and thoughts is furnished. Finally in every way, the members try to build up characters of strong moral and spiritual fibre. Every man who attends the college, is eligible to join the Kent State Y. M. C. A. 157 The blows of my hammer Ring in the earthquake. 158 159 If Men s Debate All worth while institutions start with a small and not always suc- cessful beginning. Kent State entered intercollegiate debate circles in 1929 when three members of the present Senior class took part in a debate with Hiram College. This beginning was unsuccessful as far as immediate victory was concerned, but it was successful in that it created interest in the forensic art and showed possibilities of development. in 1929-1930 Kent State debate teams under the direction of Pro- fessor Pake, took part in four intercollegiate debates. This year, as a member of the Northern Ohio Debate League and under the coaching of Professor E. T. Stump, debating has progressed rapidly. Due to the fact that our team was the only team in the state able to defeat the Akron University team, which later won the State championship, it is hoped that we will be admitted to the Ohio Con- ference next season. The squad this year is composed of James Holm, Eldon Scoutten, Phi! Barry, Ralph McGinnis, Robert Blythe, and Thomas Carothers. 160 i The Women ' s Debate Squad This year, under the direction of Professor E. Turner Stump, the college sponsored the first girls ' debate team in its history. Answering the call earlv in the year, the members prepared speeches and argu- ments on the subject of State Alethcine. Debates were held with .Akron l. ' niversity. Hiram and .Mt. L ' nion. .All were no-decision contests. The squad is as follows: Susan Bare, Louise Hamilton, 1-ois Scott. Anne Conrai.1, and the coach, Professor Stump. 161 Oratory This year was the first that Kent State College ever sent a represen- tative to the state contest in oratory. Early in March several students tried out for the privilege of representing the school and Eldon Scoutten was selected to compete at Alliance. The subject of the oration was Peace . Those competing for the local championship Vvere: James Holm, Ralph McGinnis, Phil Barry and Eldon Scoutten. 162 Chi Pi The Chi F i fraternity of Kent State College is an honorary one maile up of members elected b ' the acti e chapter, after such members ha e done meritorious work in the field of journalism and its se eral phases. The group is di ided into four divisions; the printer ' s devils, the cub reporters, the star reporters and the editors. The members are awarded the arious degrees as their work merits. The present chapter is composed of the Editor of the Kent Stater, Harold Jones: the Editor of the Chestnut Burr, Eldon Scoutten; the Business Manager of the Chestnut Burr. James Molm, and the oldest reporter from a standpoint of service on the paper, Arthur Peebles. The group once boasted a membership of thirtw Professor Pack- ard is the facult - ad isor and Professor Buryl Engleman is an honor- ar ' member.

The various organizations will doubtless find much to criticise. The vari- ous departments will find much upon which to base unfavorable agita- tion. No group will feel that it has been given due consideration and respect. But all this is of little import. The book was planned to apportion the pages as they deserve ap- portionment: not with the view of favoring one group or one class, but with the idea of presenting the campus life in its true proportions. The editors hope that in future years, the various factions of the college v ill withhold selfish motives and strive to assist in the pro- duction of a truh ' good book. f EATLCES x: :7 ' y -y 186 AXINt MOORE- 188 189 190 H Huv - — V A 9 _ 1 HLtANORSrONt d BfcST STUDENT 191 192 iSS!«S5 193 CO -ltlDX 194 WINTER Hits The CAMPUS 195 196 GANIPIUS CIW IPAGTIEIPS l 197 198 199 College Calendar SEPTEMBER 26th — Freshman register and take entrance tests. 27th — Formal registration for freshman.

Seniors Experts have estimated that if all the ballot box stuffers in the world were allowed to vote in one election and that if all the crooked election judges in the world were allowed to judge the results of that election, that in all probability the election would be crooked. Certain activities and events which occurred last fall would put to shame all the comparatively amateur crooks in the world. Here ' s how it happened: The senior class held their election. 56 votes were cast. A checkup at the registrar ' s ofTice show- ed but 48 seniors. A counter check at the next election showed two sopho- mores, four juniors and two high school students, masquerading as sen- iors. One had got himself elected to an office. Two others were voting in all four classes on the campus. The rest were just plain amateur crooks.

T T is our hope that through your contacts with them and - ' - your residence in Kent, the home of the Davey Institute of Tree Surgery, you have gained a greater appreciation of the beauty of trees, and the importance of the Tree Sur- geon ' s work. AS an educational institution concerned with the dis- semination of knowledge which will make for the extension of such an appreciation among the American people, we invite you as teachers to make use of the findings of our research department in teaching your students of the enemies of trees and their control, and related subjects.

Dr. James O. Engleman is not presi- dent of Kent State Colleae. No person has ever graduated from this college. The Kent Stater, which was estab- lished in 1927, carries volume V , which means that it has been publish- ed five years. During the World War there were only 18 men enrolled at Kent and dur- ing the Civil War there were none. There are fifteen fraternities at Kent State College. The faculty of the college includes but seventeen professors. Representatives from five groups competed in the intramural wrestling meet, last spring. The Delta Phi Sigma fraternity won the yearly trophy in intramural sports last year, although they did not win as many events as the Kappa Mu Kappa boys. There never was any Kent State Normal School. It is possible to walk from any building on the campus, to any other building, without going outside. Mr. Johnson was once Dean of Men of this school. At one time during 1930 there were more men enrolled at this school than women. Kent State College had no fullback during all of last fall ' s football games. Jim Shelly won his first inter-col- legiate wrestling match before he was a member of the Kent team. The yearly snowfall is greater at Kent than anywhere in Greenland. The Kent State campus is warmer at all times of the year, than the south- ernmost part of Africa. George Washington never attended this school. Art Stesjkal has never been thrown in a wrestling match. 210 KENT NATIONAL BANK The Bank of Courtesy to College Students $ Checking Accounts Solicited 4% Paid on Savings Safety Deposit Boxes For Rent $ 4 Percent and Safety HELL WEEK M ' stomach is empty, m - belly is flat. . . .

Kent ' s backfield men are called quarterback, blocking half back and two wing; backs. Dr. Engleman was installed and in- augurated as president of Kent State Normal College. A college graduates its students but the students are graduated and do not graduate. Shelly wrestled against Ohio State as a freshman and threw his opponent, although he was not a member of the Kent team. Webster defines fraternities as stu- dent organizations and therefore the sororities are included. The heads of the departments are professors. The rest are classed as as- sistants. In addition to the regular groups competing, two men, through an error, v ere allowed to wrestle who were un- affiliated. The Delta Phi Sigma teams took enough second places to score highest in the end. This college was formerly called Kent State Normal College. The Kent Stater was preceded by the Spotlight and dates from its estab- lishment. When the football team reported for fall training, one week before school opened, the men were allowed to reg- ister early and did so.
