That ' s How It Was At Kent In 1952 . . . The modem world brings sci- ence within the reach of all. A little bit of tradition supplanted by a great deal of modernness, sums up the characteristics of a young, growing school . . . Kent State University. Dr. Roberts of the history department, his bulldog and his ships are remembered by many as symbolic of Kent, while the art gallery in the new modern practical arts building provides the contrast of modernness. Staler sponsored Rowboat Regatta is another of the traditions which, along with Campus Day. Homecom- ing and table hopping in the Hub. offsets the scientific, modern approach of McGilvery hall science courses. This fine balance between tradition and modernness provides a healthful atmosphere for a rapid growth. Plenty of aches and pains . . . but the Kent f egatta is traditional. A weather-beaten, ' rockbound coast line, interpreted by a true artist, occupies the attention of two Kent students. Ed DeTomaso and Mary Lou Maple stop and look at one of the exhibits shown in the art gallery. Military history . . . something which affects our generation in a practical sense is a favorite of Dr. Roberts of the history department. This man, with his bulldog and his model ships, has become a tradition of Kent. Photo by Ed Cliney
