THK 1921 RKVKILLK Foreword You know, this is a strange thing, this college annual business. Kach year another milestone is laid along the road of the college’s prog- ress; the college grows older, but her men arc always the same age— always about twenty years old. Ponce dc Leon sought in the wrong place for his fountain of youth, lie dreamed of its beauty and joy. and here is an actual record of it for one year. It never grows older, and vet it is always changing: reflecting the sunshine and the shadows of the times; gay and carefree in times of case and peace; earnest and deter- mined in time of trouble, but always hopeful, always looking into the future, always enjoying life with the insatiable appetite of youth and strength. The Class of 1921 is giving you its contribution. It has tried to give you a year at Kenyon, a broad picture from several points of view. If anything here brings a smile to your lips now. or a warm, pleasant glow of satisfaction and happy recollections at some future time when you take this book from your shelf, then all its effort has been worth while. Drink deeply now, and often i:i the future.

Philander Chase The first t Kenyon s goodly race Was that great man. Philander Chase: He climbed the Hill, and said a prayer. And founded Kenyon College there. He dug up stones, he chopped down trees. He sailed across the stormy seas. And begged at every noble’s door. And also that of Hannah More. 1'he King, the Queen, the lords, the earls. They gave their crowns, they gave their pearls I’ntil Philander had enough. And hurried homeward with the stuff. He built the college, built the dam. He milked the cows, he smoked the ham. He taught the classes, rang the bell. And spanked the naughty freshmen well. And thus he worked with all his might lor Kenyon College day and night: And Kenyon’s heart still holds a place ()f love for old Philander Chase.
