Turner Stump Music by Dwight Steere Fiom the beauty land Ohio comes an universal praise, lis the song of Alma Mater that her sons and daughters raise, ' lis a Hail to Kent State College, on the Cuyahoga shore. Shouted by the loving thousands as they sing it o ' er and o ' er. Chorus: Had to Thee, our Alma Mater. ) ' how beautiful thou art, High enthroned upon the hilltop. Reigning over ev ' ry heart. From the hilltop Kent State College, gating on her portal wide, Sees the coming generations as they throng to seek her side. Seek her side to win her blessing, throng her gates to bear her name. Leave her gates to sing her praises; go afar to spread her fame. Chorus: Prolod To the Students This ' Annual has been edited with the hope of presenting in an orderly fashion the students, faculty, administra- tion and activities of the year. It is hoped that in future years this book will bring memor- ies of the school year as it actually was. o The Senior Class of 1932 Presents the 1932 Chestnut Burr ♦♦♦ Act I The Setting Campus Views Act II ----- The Directors Administration Act III The Cast All Classes Act IV - The Action College Activities Act V ----- - The Patrons Advertisers SETTIIKr w i i i Administration Building Science Hall Merrill Hall Rockwell Library William A.

Dean oj Men Dean YerJer In September one of the questions most frequently put to Freshmen is — Where are you from? In June, we put the question to Seniors this way — Where are you going? Where ever you go. graduates of Kent State, remember you are going to show the communities where you dwell what Kent State has been able to produce. In a most vital way you are Kent State. In the end, every college is judged by its alumni. By far the largest, and possibly the most important part of the college is beyond the campus, out in the counties of Ohio and beyond — beyond at points as far separated as southern Florida and the Philippines. Every graduation is a time of strengthening the stakes and lengthening the cords of Alma Mater. Graduates of 1 ( H2. as you go out, you carry our best wishes for success, and for happiness that conies from devoted service in whatever lines of work you find your vocations Dean Manchester This is a greeting from the Men of Kent State College to the faculty, alumni, and student body. It is also an expression of optimistic faith in the future of the institu- tion and a pledge of enthusiastic support for all activities and programs designed to pro- mote the welfare of the college. We are proud to claim membership in the great family of Kentonians, confident that with the passing years our college will grow and prosper We are sure that Kent will always keep the door of opportunity open to those seeking knowledge and inspiration and always exert a powerful influence upon the life of the community. The college is growing and with its growth comes increasing opportunities tor the college students, faculty, and the college itself to expand its sphere ol activity and influence. Kent is rapidly moving to the front. Heads of Departments 3HN L.

I I CI B F. Renkeri J cqst President ' s Message to the Seniors My Dear Young Friends: You are about to leave Kent State College, some of you with a bachelor ' s degree and all of you with a diploma. Already you are wondering what next year has in store for you, and whether your educa- tion will have for you an immediate cash value. And because I know what is in your mind. 1 am writing this brief message to you. There is not one of you who is not equipped to till some position for which you were not even eligible for consideration when you entered Kent. The position however, may not be open. Many of you will have to wait for it, — some, a year, others perhaps more. Has your education, therefore, been in vain? Surely not. Suppose you had not gone to college. What would you be doing now, — and next year, and later? While you wait for your chance, look within. Is your life any richer because of what you got here from teachers, books and fellow- students? Are your interests multiplied, your pleasures refined, your sympathies quickened, your capacities for useful service developed, your ambitions aroused, your standards of personal and civic conduct higher now than when you came? If so. these other things. — position, salary, opportunity and promotion will be added unto you in due time. In the meantime you already have the best the college had to give.

Faculty members lead the march and seniors followed. Following the procession, a program was given in honor of the lather of our country. Dr. A. S. Roberts was in charge of the program. Junior-Senior Prom WilN Gymnasium was the scene of the annual Junior-Senior Prom held on Friday, April Sth. Ample decorations made the gym attractive and created an atmosphere which enabled the students to enjoy the dance. This affair is now among the annual events of the college and is considered the high spot of the college social calendar. Attrac- tive leather programs, which can he preserved as memories of college days, and excellent music blended themselves to the suc- cess of the prom. As customary, the dance was formal.

This number was far greater than ever before during a regular school term quarter. Again in the winter term the enrollment set a high mark, le aching the 12S0 mark. Kent State ' s new Liberal Arts college along with the many courses offered in the field of education has attracted large num- bers of students during the past few years. With the present rate of increasing enrollment, it appears as though the student body may soon reach the proportions of the larger colleges of the state.

Kent State Becomes a Member of the Ohio College ' Association Kent State College has been granted membership in the Ohio College Associa- tion. This action resulted after a thorough inspection of the school by officials of this group. Membership has come about through the recent inauguration of the Liberal Arts college here and the high standard of work which is being offered here. The Association grew out of a group of former Liberal Arts colleges of religions de- nominations. Admittance to this selected circle is a real asset to Kent Slate. Membership is granted only to schools which pass the rigid requirements sel down by the organ- ization. I his is a real boost lor Kent State and shows the rapid progress ami rise ol the college. This pases the way lor the athletic teams ' lull membership in the ( )hio ( inference. Summer School Two full terms of school are offered students during (lie summer sessions. The first term lasts for a period of six weeks, while the second extends over the period of five weeks. Many of the regular school year students take advantage of this period to earn extra credit hours and to assist them in com- pleting their courses within a shorter period. The remainder of the enrollment consists of students who are out in the field teaching or in other lines of work. They return for higher degrees or to help round out a personal education. There are two graduations during the summer. One is at the end of the first school term in June, the other comes at the con- clusion of the second term in August.

CLCTIOI) Tournaments Wills gymnasium has proved to be a real asset to Kent State during the years of its existence here. It not only supplies ample room for the college sports, but also, on account of its ample ac- commodations, has attracted many tournaments. The annual county class B tournaments in basketball are held in the gym every spring, followed by the district tourney in the same class and then the sectional meet. The winners of the latter play for the state championship at Columbus. During the past year, the state inter-collegiate wrestling championships were held in Wills gym.

At the first class for candidates, fifty men answer- ed. Coach Wagoner conducted a series of hard work- outs, tests, and trials before selecting three teams with which to go through the season. In training the men for the season. Wagoner was assisted by Joe Begala, head wrestling and tennis coach. Wagoner worked with the backfield men, while Begala trained the linemen. Charles Cocky Kilbourne. former outstanding Flash athlete, coached the Frosh and sent his crew against the varsity in numerous scrimmages. He was aided by Ted Sapp, also a former all-around Kent star. .Minus the services of Kilbourne, Stejskal, Barry and Sapp, the local mentors were confronted with the problem of filling a gap in the line and finding a new backfield. This was the situation when the untested and untried Blue and Gold eleven took the field against the Yeomen at Oberlin. Two men, both making their debut as regulars on their respective teams were the luminaries in the tilt. Barry, the Congregationalists backfield ace, worked behind a line composed of veterans, including four DI5UR.O HALFBACK lettermen. Wall Taylor, on the other hand had to work behind a green front wall, depending on breaks and the hope thai t In- line would hold long enough for him to cleai his pass or gel away a punt. During the last period of t Ik encounter, played under a broiling sun, the Flashes unleashed .1 passing attack ih.it resulted in a touchdown and the resull was 12-6 ictorj for I (berlin. MIGRATION DAY I he second week of the reign of King Pigskin, brought thf annual Migration da) game at Buchtel licld with Akron. Kent entered the game as the under- dog hut it was only the insatiable Zipper jinx thai gave the Blairmen a 12-0 decision. The first half of the .name took place in mid-field and ended with a scoreless tie. However, in the third canto, old man jinx ' made his appearance and a pair of Akron touchdowns. Mericola lost a punt in the sun while standing on his own 10 sard strip. The hall bounced and struck his helmet and was recovered by a Zipper man who carried it across tot the first tally. The play was a very unusual one and the sudden jump of Akron into the lead caused the local aggrega- tion to crumble momentarily and permitted the Akron- ites to tally another.

An- other parade toward the Akron goal posts was started soon after the kickoff but ended when Taylor ' s pass was intercepted on the hosts ' 25 yard marker. MT. I NION CAME Mount Union entertained Coach Wagoner ' s pro- teges at Alliance in the third game. Pre-winter snow and rain turned the Hartshorne stadium into a veritable quagmire. The continual storm was of little help to the lighting facilities and the heavy Purple were at home in the sea of mud. Coach Thorpe ' s combine scored two touchdowns in the first quarter and one in each of the following two, being held scoreless in the final session. Only one of the touchdowns came as a result of straight football, the other three followed blocked punts. Kent threatened at the start of the third quarter with a march of three successive first downs brought the oval to the opponent ' s 28 yard line. The final score was 2 5-0. A week ' s layoff seemed to be of little benefit to the Colden Plashes. Baldwin-Wallace buried the local eleven under a 31-0 score after an evenly played first quarter. One hundred sixtee Tin- break came when raylor, as safety man dropped .1 Yellow Jackel punl on the 18, from where il carried over as the first of three markers in the second quarter, and one in each of the remaining t Deke Vbbotl broke a a) cm 50 and 65 yard runs in the lasl session. However the Bereans quickl) ended these spurts toward their goal line by intercepting I a) lor ' s passes.

Capital elected to receive and returned the ball with a punt. The Blue and Gold started a parade of four first downs and Abbott plunged over for the touch- down and Taylor converted with a drop kick. In the second session the visitors held their ground and Kenl failed to register. In the thud quarter I av lor scored two markers on runs from outside the 55 yard line. During this period Capita] made lis second first down of the tilt. MBUOUCH c I yWEWCOU QUAfcTCO- Oru- I1u11.li ' K TAri-OI During the final canto.

DEFEAT OE OTTERBEIN The second home appearance brought the powerful Otterbein aggregation with a record of one defeat in six starts. However. Abbott, Taylor and Co. took the field with their old reputation of record spoilers in mint 1 and emerged with the second victory of the year, 6-0. Late in the second quarter. Housely blocked an Otterbein punt and Dunlavv covered the ball back of the goal line to treat the faithful who braved the cold and rain to another win. The remainder of the fracas was a punting duel wherein the Flash combine had the edge. The 20 yard line was the nearest that the Westerville outfit could come to the Blue and Gold posts. Gear made the longest gain in the sea of mud when he broke through for 21 yards. A scrappy Hiram college team helped the Wagoner- Begala, Inc. to close the season with a victory on the home field. Playing the Flashes to a standstill in all but the second canto when the locals pushed over the lone score.

STIIAHL G-UAO.D Season Summary Only three years in the history of basketball at Kent rivaled the season just completed. These were 1916, 1017. and 1921. The reason for the poor showing was due to lack of material. This year scholastic difficulties confronted the Golden Flashes, as well as serious injuries. Heidelberg won a close one in the opening encounter and the strong Muskingum quintet was downed by Wagoner ' s combine, before the issuing of grade. Being forced to build a new combine around Hall — who was forced out of play shortly after- wards by an injurs ' — Coach Wagoner rounded his team into a promising five, even though no other victories were recorded. Mount Union was the first team to meet the ruined Flashes on the Alliance court. The cham- pions encountered little difficulty in taking a t2- c ) decision. Coach Wagoner had a chance to see how his quintet worked on the defense in the Akron game in Wills gym. The score see-sawed back and forth listlessly and the Zippers finally won, 21- IS. Another game on the local hardwood v. as featured by a low score with Hiram, 26-16. The next two tilts were on foreign territory, the former taking a 43-19 victory while the con- ference runnersup administered the severest wal- loping of the season the next night. 65-15. THE CHAMPS HERE Local cage followers were treated to a class) exhibition of basketball the following week when the .Mount Union aggregation made their annual visit. The Blue and Cold combine provided One hundred twentj plent) Hi List opposition for the visitors although the score shows little indication, following a lasl half rush by the Purple, [ he final total was 52-25 Three more games were played awaj from home and each showed an improving Golden Flash five. Baldwin-Wallace won, 52-18; Western Re- serve, 50-23; while the last .u Hiram almosl re- sulted in a victory for the Wagonerites, J2-30. Baldwin-Wallace opened the home stand o) four appearances In rallying in the second session in m out, J3-24. Gintert, Carl and Co. opened up in the Otterbein encounter forcing the Prohibi- tionists to a 57-39 result. Coach Boles ' big ' Berthas ' from Wooster shelled out a 50-37 score in a nicely played feud. After leading at the half, the Flashes crumbled and lost their last chance to win, and kenvon eked oul a JO-26 decision before a large counts tournament crowd. Gintert, a sophomore, led the team in playing time. Of the ten lettermen. only two were not members of the second year class, they being Nicholson, junior, and Hall, senior.

Opening with an easy victory over the Akron Zippers, 36 l 2 to 1 4, the Golden Flashes next traveled to Columbus and lost to Ohio State, 23-}. Case School of Applied Science furnished the opposition for the third meet. The score of 10-14 indicates the fact that the match was not decided until the final bout. With the score at 1 l-a.ll, l.ukens surprised a large home crowd by pinning his opponent, and Shelly finessed a time victory to Case. With llissner and Secrist on the hospital list, Ohio U. won from the Kentites, 25-13. The feature of the meet was the fall victory over the champion Stanley, by Straub. Fenn college ' s matmen were defeated in the curtain raiser to the Wooster cage tilt, 26-8. A number of men left their sick beds to travel to Cleveland where the Reserve Red Cats had to use all they had to win 20-10. Fresh from a tie with West Virginia Wesleyan, which hail trounced Kent ' s opponent of the previous week, Wavnesburg took a 21-11 defeat from the Begala- men, in the Pennsylvania hills. Kent placed five men in the finals of the Ohio Inter-collegiate Wrestling championships in the Wills gymnasium. Miller, Baker, Dunlavy, Lukens and Shelly all lost by referee ' s decisions on the last night. Reserve and Ohio U. tied for the team championship. Bagala will have a number of the lettermen back for next year ' s squad. A powerful crew of freshman wrestlers have been working out daily and promises to make competition keen for those aspiring for the 1933 varsity. A heavy schedule, including Carnegie Tech, Washington and Jefferson, and others has been lined up for next year.

The cinder-pounders dropped three successive meets to Hiram, Akron and Baldwin-Wallace. Kilbourne and Moore placed on the pole-vault event in the Big Six track meet. Blue and Gold men also participated in the Ohio Relays at the Buckeye stadium at Columbus. Coach .Merle Wagoner ' s crew of horse-hide chasers suffered a similar fate on the diamond. Of the eight games booked the Golden Flashes came out of but one tilt on the long end of the score. Baldwin-Wallace came to the Rockwell diamond with a clear record of seven victories, for the spring home-coming attraction, but failed to do anything with the slants of the veteran, Mose Hall. Hall was the moundsman for the majority of the encounters while Leggett relieved him, when necessary. Gatchell, Baker. Shelly and Taylor took the leading positions of the Kent batting averages.

K : t HAROI I) R l ' i | s Editor The Kenl Staler, college weekly newspaper, now completing its si th year of existence, has in the past year made many improvements that are expected to place it even higher in state collegiate journalistic circles than last year, when it was adjudged the third best paper in the state. Honors were also won in national contests. In addition to internal improvements the paper has functioned efficiently as a laboratory ground for students of the college journalism classes. Classes in headline writing, makeup and advanced reporting, in addition to that in elemen- tary reporting, have done valuable practical work on The Stater. During the year the stall averaged about 50 members, in all departments. Social events were held and the staff, with the assistance of Professors Griebling and Engleman, played host to the fall convention of the Ohio College Newspaper Association. 1 he paper was also represented at the spring convention at Witten- berg.

The theme chosen is one which represents scenes very familiar to every Kent Stater and should help, during the years to come, bring back vivid memories ol Kent State. In arranging the hook two factors- -lust, to follow the customary procedure for publication, of this type and second, to keep in line with the theme of the book as much as possible— were given prime consideration. The registrar ' s records were consulted in placing students in their respective class groups and for the spelling of names. The winter te rm standing of the students hem; taken for classification in this book. Even with these precautions, errors of classification and spelling will undoubt- ably resull in Mime cases. The editors hope that the number of such cases will be at a minimum.

DRAMA One hundred ninety-o s 123 V ?AV College Theatre The Kent State College Theatre, since its inception a year ago, has grown tremendously. The total membership this year has exceeded 130, which is a worthy expression of the interest that has been aroused in dramatics at the college. Professor E. Turner Stump, director, supervises the College Theatre and draws upon its membership for his play casts and technical staffs. The student manager presides over the theatre meetings, appoints the department heads and sees that the various departments function. He also prepares and files the records of indi- vidual as well as organization activities. Under the departmental system, into which The College Theatre is divided, seven major productions, The Melting Pot , Icebound . Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs , Cock Robin , Craig ' s Wife , The Cradle Song , and The Wooden Kimono have been successfully presented before capacity audiences. One huii, lie. I nineti -two Debate Progresses Rapidly Kent State ' s debating teams have made rapid progress in their forensic activities, during this school year. The teams have participated in some twenty- five debates, winning over sixty per cent of the contests. A conference of Ohio College Debating teams was entered and inter-collegiate debates held. Schools met in the conference and otherwise included: Capital. Otterbein, Bluff ton, Akron I ' .. Mount Union, Baldwin-Wallace, Miami. Ypsilanti, and others. The first radion debate in the history of the college was held with Fairmounl State Teachers college of West Virginia.
