Kenyon College - Reveille Yearbook (Gambier, OH)

ASCENSION HALL you are apt to find one at most any time. More students congregate here than at any other one place, some in class, others cutting philosophy to get their Spanish done as Sam is doing. Activities are varied in Ascension; students put out magazines and books, people give speeches and listen to speeches, raise money and spend money, and just a short look around will show that the place is filled with celebrities.

T CORDON KEITH CHALMERS, A.B. (Brown). M.A. (Oxon.), PhD. (Harvord). ll.D. (Hobart), litt.O. (Rockford and Brown), l.H.D. (Ripon) President This year included for us the tragic morning of February twenty seventh, a date never to be forgotten in the annals of Kenyon. Not even time can entirely heal our loss of the nine who perished then, our friends and fellow students. We feel for their parents and relatives a daily sympathy which comes out of our daily share in the bitterness of their grief. But we shall also remember all our lives the fact that in that common loss we felt ourselves unequivocally united in a common cause. This made itself plain from the moment it was first discovered that Old Kenyon was ablaze, and grew from day to day thereafter in the fine spirit with which the College was able to carry on; in those who had to put forth extra and even heroic efforts; in the patience and good cheer of those who were injured; in the will power of those who, though thoroughly shaken, managed to fulfill somehow the usual daily requirements of their jobs or studies and games. It makes us certain, in the midst of disaster and difficulty so much bigger than we are. of the vast importance of the educational enterprise, not only in Kenyon College, but in this Democracy, and throughout the world.
