The scene of Brady ' s leap in his flight from the Indians seems incredulous now. UVJL UK L O iav cMaaaW m % Somewhere among these reeds and lily pads Brady hid from the Indians for hours and hours after his 85-mile life-or-death race from Sandusky to Kent. Curtain up! The scene is set in the rolling hills of Ohio, on the banks of the Cuyahoga river, in the shade of lovely trees, on a grant of land — this is Kent, and, there is more. Imagination! Glamour! Memories! Hope! Confidence! Did Evangeline go across our campus? Pro- fessor Packard drew a map and said, Could be. Did Captain Brady run through the campus woods when escaping the Indians? A look at the map and one might say Could be. Did the fairies dance back of Moulton Hall last June? Shorty found the fairy ring of toad stools. Well? Did a flying saucer hover over the drill field in Au- gust? Two strollers in Lilac Lane saw something. Did our winners at the Olympic games win be- cause they heard the echo of a Kent cheer? Did our men in service fight better because of their memories of campus scenes? Was Deacon Buctle tempted to cuss just a bit when he was stuck in the mud? Oh, no! Did the fraternity pledge, who spent the night in the cem- etery, make a few resolutions? No doubt! And what about books, plays, songs, pictures, ma- chines, inventions? Genius? The spark? The flash? Can it be that the heritage from the past, the environment of the present and the vision of the future motivate and stimulate? By all means yes! Because this is Kent! 10
