A TREWE AND CONCVSE HISTORIC of KEN YOU COLLEGE --- 1952 1824 He was the first ’Kenyon Man’; and he still rubs up against everyone who, dwelling upon the Hill, shares in the life of the college and of the place. . . . Smythe Dudley and Alice Chase, living in Cornish, New Hampshire, had their fourteenth child on the fourteenth of December, 1775. Dudley, addicted to sententious poetry, named his child Philander. Philander grew up as a farmer, backwoodsman and pioneer. In 1795 he graduated from primitive Dartmouth College. While there, a Prayer Book fell into his hands, and, thoroughly im- pressed, he decided to enter the Episcopal ministry. After sundry wanderings about the country, in 1817 Chase came to Ohio and settled at Worthington. Because of the lack of Episcopal clergy he traveled a great deal through the newly settled territory and was eventually selected as the first bishop of the Ohio Diocese. As bishop, he saw the Church neglected and in dire need of sup- port. He was in an extremely depressed frame of mind when suddenly a door opened from which an overwhelming flood of light poured in. He would apply to England for assistance and especially for money to found a seminary of the Church in Ohio. Bishop Chase was a very imposing figure. His height of more than six feet caused Doctor Sparrow to say of him: I tho't as my eye fell upon him he was the most majestic man I had ever seen. He filled the whole door.” Chase might have appeared like a huge, lumbering backwoodsman, but his bearing and his man- ners were those of a gentleman. His motto was “Jehova Jireh — God will provide. His faith drove him to the most strenuous labours. Bishop Chase, discouraged from the project by his friends but determined, nevertheless, sailed from New York on October first the packet ship Orbit. Arriving in London after a stormy pas- sage. Chase found that Bishop Hobart had arrived earlier than he and had circulated letters and pamphlets among the people of influence, condemning Chase's mission as not being authorized 2 One of tho oarliost examples of Collegiate Gothic in America To fight off the bugs, hot sun, and tho dust of tho stone-cutting the workmen found that three tumblers of whiskey helped. either by the Protestant Episcopal Church or the diocesan conven- tion of Ohio. Chase had one hope: Henry Clay's letter to Lord Gambier of the British Admiralty. Gambier had received a letter from Hobart which had produced “an unpleasant effect on his mind” towards an Ohio seminary. Chase expended all his energy, knowing that he must demonstrate the soundness and justice and the purity of his motives.” Lord Gambier was impressed by the facts and referred Chase to Reverend Josiah Pratt, head of the great Church Missionary Society. Now, Pratt had been thoroughly resolved against Chase's proposal by Hobart's pamphlet and letters. However, a letter from Lord Bexley forced him to receive Chase with a modicum of civility. He finally was convinced that the Ohio seminary was a worthy cause and prepared a propaganda pamphlet and a list of potential subscribers. 3 These interior sketches of Old Seventy-four show just how primitivo life in Gambier must have been during the 1820's and 30's. It was a temporary building erected by the Bishop to house the school and chapel. The abovo picture shows the Faculty Bonch. which was ab- ducted many times by discontented students. This is an interior view of tho schoolroom and the chapel. 4 George Wharton Marriott visited Chase out of curiosity one day at his lodging. This was a fortunate meeting, for Marriott was of the High Church party, and Chase’s previous acquain- tances had been made exclusively among Evangelical or Low Church men. Through Marriott, Chase met such influential beneficiaries as Doctor George Gaskin, canon of Ely, and Lord Kenyon. Chase travelled through northern England visiting private homes and conucting a quiet crusade. He impressed everyone immensely with his size, his good looks and with the fervour of his piety. His crusade was a complete success. Lord Kenyon’s daughter Margaret erected a log cabin shrine to Philander in an “Ohio garden” out of her devotion to the impressive cleric. Bishop Hobart's attacks had ceased and he even proposed a re- conciliation. Money was pouring in in liberal amounts from admiring benefactors—from Lady Rosse, from Hannah More and from Sir Thomas and Lady Ackland. The Bishop from Ohio longed for America, and with sad adieux he left for New York on July twenty-eighth, 1824, after a full, successful year. At the annual convention of the Diocese of Ohio at Chillicothe on November third, 1824, a constitution of the new seminary was drafted. It incorporated assurances that there would be no schism in “the peace and unity of the Church. The orthodoxy and loyalty to the Protestant Episcopal Church was left up to the jurisdiction and judgment of the General Convention and the Bishop. There has never been any questioning of the orthodoxy and loyalty of the seminary to this day. The College finally evolved as Kenyon College on December twenty-ninth, 1824 at Chase's farm in Worthington. It boasted of a library, a faculty, a board of trustees and one student, whose name was Hunter. The College has survived and proceeded with its work through turmoil and chaos from that day without lapse. The institution at Worthington was not to remain on this site for very long. Offers came from Zanesville, Franklinton, Chillicothe and Cincinnati. Chase, however, had made up his mind that Kenyon would not be a city college” because “the students are exposed to the temptations of those who find it to the interest or malicious pleasure to seduce them from studies into vice and dissipation.” Nor would he place it in a village. There was only one alternative: to take to the woods.” 5 It was the pride of the country side . The mansion was built by Bishop Mcllvaino for his residence in 1833. It still remains in slightly dilapidated condition. Its muddy waters border the Hill on the West. Titanic in the non-exrstant in the dry months of the summer. spring, practically • ... iHimml It was a bright summer morning (July 22, 1825) that a party of gentlemen started from Mount Vernon with Bishop Chase for the purpose of exploring the country eastward of and adjacent to this city. (Letter of Henry Curtis) Chase found on the property of William Hogg a suitable site. On top of a hill of tangled underbrush, snakes and fallen trees, he exclaimed merely, “This will do.” The 8000-acre tract was bought for 18,000 dollars. Squatters, v ith no right to property, had settled and raised corn. Below the Bishop's mill was a dis- tillery which was the social artery of the settlement: every path in the underbrush led, like the spokes of a wheel, directly to the still. The work of clearing began. An excavation was made for a permanent college building; a well was dug; temporary log dwellings were built. The Harcourt Parish was established in Gambier in 1827, named for Sir Harcourt Lees, a generous con- tributor. The cornerstone of Old Kenyon was laid on the ninth of June, 1827. The work on the building had begun, but was en- dangered by a country-wide custom of imbibing three glasses of whiskey a day to forget the bugs, hot sun, and the dust of stone cutting.” Chase delivered a sermon to the workmen that so moved them that some wept, some even forgot the daily por- tion of liquor. Work went on, with construction of temporary housing, granaries, a kitchen, stable, schoolhouse and chapel. The v ilderness seemed insurmountable, and domestic and skilled labour was nearly impossible to procure. The 10,000 dollars Chase had collected on a trip East was now gone. He turned to the Congress for a tract of land which he might sell. Regardless of pressure applied by many friends, including his brother Dudley Chase, senator from Vermont, the bill was shelved until the next year. It took many small gifts to allow the work to proceed. The Bishop said that he was like “Elijah in the wilderness, with all my daily wants supplied by the hand of mercy.” The first years in Gambier were raucous and colourful, with the natural overtones of early nineteenth century life. Freshmen were kept in constant misery by upperclassmen putting squeal- ing pigs in their beds, pouring water on them and other such pranks. The Bishop was becoming extremely discontent with Kenyon College after the failure of Congress to pass his application and the treachery of Reverend G. M. West. West had been sent to 7 England to raise additional funds. He not only failed to raise any kind of money, however, but he even turned on Chase and dis- credited him among influential people in England and America. A third disappointment was the schism between Chase as presi- dent of the institution and the faculty. Chase was a weary Titan whose incessant labours and hopes had been thwarted again and again. He began to become narrow and dictatorial; he was a highly industrious man in his own right and could not quite understand why everyone around him should not follow his example. Professors were told in no uncertain terms where to live and even what they could eat. The professors found Chase a master rather than a leader. They attempted to limit his au- thority through the board of trustees. This action Chase took as a plot to drive him from Gambier. After the diocesan convention in Mount Vernon on the ninth of September, 1831, Chase wander- ed back to his residence in the west end of the Old Kenyon base- ment and wrote his letter of resignation. On the thirty-first of October, 1832, Charles Pettit Mcllvaine was consecrated the second Bishop of Ohio and thus President of Kenyon College. He was a very young man, and a highly « «030 in..

The College was in serious financial straits when he began his term of office. Travelling to New York Mc- Ilvaine raised 28,500 dollars. The east and west wings were added to the building, not as the architect Bullfinch had designed it, but in a modified form. The Bishop built himself a beautiful mansion, Mcllviane Hall, which was the pride of the countryside. A period of expansion ensued, and Rosse Hall, begun by Chase, was redesigned and completed in the rough. A large red brick building was erected for a boy's school—Milnor Hall—one of the finest in the country. The isolation of Gambier was a little too overbearing for ambitious Mcllvaine, who acquired a residence in Cleveland in 1838. Mcllvaine was much like Chase, in that he was dictatorial and narrow in his handling of the faculty. He lost the backing of the board of trustees as Chase had, but fought staunchly and won them over. A resolution in 1840 of the board of trustees carried out the directions of the convention and “destroyed the old Kenyon College and its faculty. A whole new institution was formed with Mcllvaine's approval. A close friend of Bishop Mcllvaine, David Bates Douglass, a former officer at West Point, became the third President of the College after not a little pressure applied by the good Bishop. Being a civil engineer and a rigid disciplinarian, Douglass cleaned up the College buildings and the dilapidated state of the grounds. The reformation was clearly evident when rickety sheds and “Old Seventy-four were demolished and the gates and the Path were constructed. The rite of matriculation was instituted at this time. However, Douglass was not in reality President. Amid student “rebellions and an investigation pro- mulgated by his supposed friend, Bishop Mcllvaine, Douglass declared the presidency vacant. Reverend Sherlock Bronson, a member of the board of trustees, became President in 1845. Under Bronson the first five years, 1840-45, wore uneventful. The discipline of students was rather strict. If a pack of cards were found in the room or if the College bell v ere ringing after 10 p.m. the student was immediately dismissed from the College. The College again found itself over ten thousand dollars in debt. The salaries of professors v ere cut sharply, and great economies were practiced. Rosse Hall and Old Kenyon were in desperate need of repair. The only alternative was to sell the South Section. There was a bitter controversy over Chase's 9 Rutherford B.

Criticised severely for his divorce from ethical reason, this sensitive man resigned in 1850. Lorin Andrews became President after a short term by Thomas Mather Smith. The students gave him a warm welcome by illuminating Old Kenyon. His term is marked by the expansion of the College to an enrollment of two hundred and thirty stu- dents. The subsequent construction of Ascension Hall and im- provements of Bexley, built in 1833, and Old Kenyon were neces- sitated by the overflow’ of students. The College began to specu- late its small surplus money into dream railways such as the Delaware and Cochocton, Springfield and Loudonville Railroad. The only prerequisite for help from Kenyon seemed to be a stop at Gambier, no matter where the road led. In December, 1855, there appeared the first issue of a unique publication, the Reveille, the third of its kind in the United States. It was a newspaper of four eighteen-by-ten inch pages with an editorial for freshmen “commending virtue and industry to their susceptible young souls. The Collegian appeared in 1856, its main purpose being literary. Greek letter fraternities were introduced to 19th century Kenyon. The Lambda chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon was established in 1852. Theta Delta Chi appeared in 1853 and disappeared in 1861. Alpha Delta Phi entered the life of the Hill in 1858, at the same time as the local chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Singing came into vogue in the fifties with the introduction of German university songs. Fraternities, in spirit of comradeship, developed their own sentimental ballads which rang out under the maples on Path generation after generation. The patriotism of the College community was clearly ex- pressed during the Civil War. President Andrews was the first in Ohio, reputedly, to offer his services as a soldier in the growing Union army. The southern contingent left the Hill for the Con- federate army quietly without perturbation or ill-feeling. Blankets and warm clothing were collected to keep the soldiers warm. Andrews returned to Gambier in 1861 to die. The term of James Kent Stone as President was marked by a theological outburst. The President, in strongly evangelical Gambier, leaned towards Tractarianism. He resigned after being made a fool of by the valedectorian at Commencement in 1867. 11 It was built during the thirties in an era of active building . Its lirat occupant wa3 Professor Sparrow. Bexley Hall was built to house seminarians in 1833. It is be- coming inadequate to house Bexleyitcs, who are growing in number. 12 Later he became president of Hobart College and one year later joined the Roman Catholic Church. As a result of the Schism the enrollment of the College dropped to a scant fifty students. Eli Tappan was elected President in 1868 and was noted for his durability. The Church of the Holy Spirit was com- pleted in 1871 at the phenomenal cost of 42,000 dollars. Living in Gambier at the resignation of President Tappan was the Reverend William Budd Bodine a man who had been making himself useful in both the seminary and the College. He was resourceful and indefatigable. Determined to raise the tiny en- rollment of the College, he set out on an endless campaign of fund-raising and hopeful attraction of students. The number fluctuated but fell to thirty-three in 1890 at the outset of Bodine's resignation. Rutherford Birchard Hayes v as nominated for the Republican candidate for President of the United States in 1874, and was elected. His several short visits with cannons firing and flags waving brought Kenyon's name into the headlines. In an effort to build up the enrollment of the College Milnor Hall set out on a campaign for students. They were thoroughly successful, as the enrollment jumped to one hundred thirty-four in 1891. Drill and a general military atmosphere was introduced into Milnor Hall around 1885, the name was changed to Kenyon Military Academy. The College, however, did not grow along with the academy. Harcourt Seminary for Young Women was conceived in 1887. Bodine was successful in altering the constitution of the College so that Bexley and Kenyon were under one president. Athletics, inter-collegiate and intra-mural, came into being during this p eriod. Boating, px lo, lacrosse, ride to the hounds, were all tried. Baseball came into being and in 1896 its recent history v as described by the Collegian as almost a continuous line of defeats. October 1881 saw organized football instituted. Kenyon in 1891 played Granville, lost 18-0, and then played O.S.U. and won. Franklin Peirce was elected President in March of 1896. He was inaugurated with great gusto by the student body by the explosion of firecrackers, by bonfires and by speeches that showed student approval. His was a term of great expansion. In 1901, Marcus Hanna, Cleveland p olititian of dubious background, donated a dormitory to compensate for the overflow of men in overcrowded Old Kenyon. It was fondly dubbed the Politicians' 13 Barracks.'' Tho Stephens Stack Room was built onto Hubbard Hall in 1901. In 1905 Old Kenyon was renovated. In 1911 Crom- well Cottage, as well as an imposing faculty residence, were built as a gift from Mr. William Cromwell of New York. En- dowment grew quickly. Andrew Carnegie, learning that Edwin M. Stanton was a Kenyon alumnus, gave 50,000 dollars. The enrollment was down to sixty-five in 1896 and then, through steady improvement of facilities and athletic teams, it slowly rose. Unfortunately, in 1905 a fraternity pledge was killed by an unscheduled locomotive. The story remained a mystery, but grew and was given nation-wide publicity. The enrollment subsequently dropped and the injury was felt for ten years. Student self-government was introduced in 1895 with tho Kenyon College Senate. Dramatics made an appearance on the campus with a showing of The Doctor in 1904 by the Puff and Powder Club. In 1898, Kenyon, not greatly stirred by the Spanish-American war, lost but five or six students.

It was locatod diroctly in front of tho prosont Church of tho Holy Spirit. 14 It was begun by Bishop Chase in the Gothic stylo, rosombling Old Kenyon; includod wore plans for a great tower . Finished in the rough by Bishop Mcllvaino, it was redosignod to include Ionian columns of sizable propor- tions. The Great War of 1914 saw a Kenyon Ambulance” on the battlefields of France. Patriotism moved the student body as it had done during Civil War days. Drill exercises were practiced. A great flag flew night and day from the College pole and prac- tice at the rifle range under Professor Reeves became increasing- ly popular. In the fall of 1918 the Students Army Training Corps was established at Kenyon. The S.A.T.C. became extremely un- popular even after being replaced by the R.O.T.C., because anti-militaristic sentiment had swept the country after the sign- ing of the armistice. Leonard Hall was constructed in haste to be completed in time for the centennial celebration in 1924. Kenyon, in its own small way, dashed headlong into the era of Stuz Bearcats, yellow- 15 slickers, home-brewed gin and flappers. The College cemetery became an excellent place to hide contraband spirits. The quick flash of prosperity also affected Gambier: a chauffeur wasn t an unusual sight. The era was climaxed by the construction of monumental Peirce Hall and Chase tower as a new commons building. The very opulent appearance of the edifice reflects the character of the age. The 30's brought little change in the enrollment, but Kenyon came back to earth and saw less quick money. Benjamin Shaffer, donated two badly needed conveniences to Kenyon, the Speech Building and the Swimming Pool. These were constructed at a bare minimum of expense in 1935. In 1937 Dr. Peirce resigned his position to go into retirement and a well-earned rest. He was replaced by Gordon Keith Chalmers, a young, ambitious scholar who was, at the time, president of the Rockford College in Illinois. Life on the Hill was moderately uneventful until 1941. The country again entered a great war such as no one had seen before. The draft took most men in a very swift time. The enrollment dropped and the school found itself without a student body. President Chalmers met the situation by obtaining an army unit to occupy the school. The army meteorological unit was housed in Old Kenyon and Leonard Hall. The war ended in 1945. Vets returned en masse with the highest enrollment in history—600. After the night of the Sopho- more Shipwreck February 26, 1949 the sparks from a smouldering fireplace caught onto debris in an old sealed flue. Within an hour the middle section of Old Kenyon was an inferno. Nine students lost their lives to make the greatest tragedy in Kenyon's history. Now, with Old Kenyon restored, the tragedy is a bitter memory for seniors, for underclassmen a legend. 16 IN MEMORIAM DON C. WHEATON 1882 - 1951 17 FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATION Gordon K. Chalmers Brown, Oxford, Harvard PRESIDENT A Message From the President Men of this year's graduating class were freshmen when Old Kenyon was destroyed; 1952 is the lest class to know by experience that passage of Kenyon history—the grim loss, the sorrow, and the common determination in the hearts of all Kenyon men, distant and nearby, old and young, to rebuild the building where and as it was. Completion of Old Kenyon by the effort of more than twelve hundred people is surely one of the major accomplishments of the past tour years. These years we shall remember also for a hundred occasions cf amuse- ment, intellectual stimulus, and victory—the teams that were remarkable, the remarkable things said and done publicly and in private. May this book, designed to jog and support the memory, bring back to those who have written it or are quoted or pictured in it the hours and days in Kenyon that have been truly worthy, joyous, and fruitful.

For years the Council has been a sounding-board of the nine fraternities on the Hill while also carrying out major projects of student life. The largest task the Council is faced with each year is the setting up and enforcement of the rushing rules. Each May, the Pan-Hellenic Council spon- sors a Fraternity Singing Con- test, with the winner being awarded a loving cup. Lett to Right: Thomas. R. L . Johnson. A B., Peabody. Gvandofe. Ob Wtllitt .

An honorary group of eleven seniors and one junior, the Society took advantage of its right to meet with the President and the Faculty Council at dinner meetings and discuss topics such as compulsory chapel. The results •were relayed informally to the student body. Credit for the unusually success- ful blood bank drive is due the Society members, who arranged the distribu- tion and collection of donor cards. Sell- ing concert tickets, showing visiting groups around the campus, ushering in the chapel, and just looking pompous on the right occasions fulfilled the rest of the member's obligations.

Vernon, joint concerts with Lake Erie College for Women ana We stern College for Women at Oxford, Ohio, the Christmas concert in the Chapel, a number of aDpearances in Mt. Vernon churches, and a concert in the Great Hall kept this group busy. The antici- pation of joint concerts with women's groups brought an influx of certain no- torious characters into the group, but there were no casualties. If they ac- complished nothing else, the Singers at least managed to keep the lounge piano maniacs from getting at the piano during their rehearsal times 65 STUDENT COUNCIL According to the constitution of the student government, the Student Coun- cil is theoretically the most powerful student organization on the Hill. With legislative, judicial, as well as execu- tive duties, the Council is responsible to both the student body and the facu- lty and administration. To the students it is responsible for maintaining, sup- porting, and supervising all organized student activity, as well as for insuring each student the right of a fair trial; to the administration and faculty the Council is responsible for maintaining order and dscipline on the campus. At times they succeed. PHI BETA KAPPA Phi Beta Kappa, the first secret fra- ternity in the country, is now secret only at Kenyon College. Elected in much of the tradition that was an in- tegral part of the first Phi Beta meet- ings, members on the Hill are obligated to nothing but being scholarly. A few of the undergraduate members dis- prove the old wives' tale that study and alcohol do not mix, most of them forget to wear their keys. As brothers in t h e local chapter, undergraduates count Messrs. Chalmers, Salomon, Mill- er, Cahall, Coffin, Cummings, Fink, Finkbeiner, Radin, Ransom, Sutcliffe, Tiinberlake and Titus. 66 The power of the press has never been very much in evidence at Kenyon. Among the 500 people accumulated here, the extracurricular newspaper or magazine assumes that status of an enlarged church bulletin rather than of a miniature daily paper or national weekly. Such a situation, of course, HIKA practically eliminates any news that is newsworthy or any comment that in- vites thought. Its advantages lie in the closeness of editors and readers: if a publication fails to satisfy, its edi- tors have nothing to hide behind. Left to Right: Smart S p i « v a c k . E.

SOCIAL COMMITTEE The Social Committee spent one- fourth of its time answering foolish questions, one-fourth of its time looking for cheap orchestras, and the remain- ing one-half of its time looking for each other at meeting time.

A great deal of local support has been gain- ed by the presentation of able speakers and by conducting interesting and intelligent dis- cussions, The local club has also sent delegations to numer- ous conventions throughout the year. The IRC s membership reach- ed a new height this year, in part due to the Ohio Interna- tional Relations Club Confer- ence, held on the Hill under the auspices of the local club. The Conference was highly fortu- nate in having Dr. Hans J. Morgenthau for its principal speaker. The chapter has received hearty support from its faculty adviser. Professor English.

However with the approving nod of the Student Council, the staff waded neck - deep into conferences, signed microscopically worded contracts, and generally accustomed itself to editorial headaches. The winter months were bleak in- deed as the REVEILLE packed up and left for the east coast. Fortunately the Business Manager raised the morale by passing the one-thousand dollar mark in advertising pledges. The edi- torial staff missed the fall cocktail parties and began to apply themselves to the rigours of writing copy. The much belated spring saw the REVEILLE put to bed with the bright- est hopes for and early delivery to the Hill. THE COLLEGIAN The COLLEGIAN is, not unlike most publications at Kenyon, too deficient of funds to finish normal publication. This deficiency, fortunately, is not at all indicative of the pioneering spirit of the staff, for there hasn't been a finer college newspaper in a decade here on the Hill. Under the capable guidance of Dave Lobdell, the first two or three issues of the COLLEGIAN presented a challenge for all succeeding editors. It was a very intelligent and unique handling of limited material. This paper was de- signed to fit the needs and desires of the Kenyon Man. v ho finds himself in a close, critically-minded environment. Perhaps, at last, the dubious posi- tion of the COLLEGIAN has gained the distinctive and highly illusive qual- ity of interesting the Kenyon student. Lclt to Right: Turshon. Ehret. Beniamin.

It was beautifully planned and costumed, and the introduc- tion of Gambier children in the parts of the elves was unique as well as pleasant. THE PAST YEAR During the past year the Kenyon Drama- tic Club has produced three plays on the Kenyon stage. Departing senior Gil Bryan produced the first, William Shakespear's Midsummer Night's Dream, which starred Gil Bryan, Ron Petti, Bob Hubbard, Frank LeFever, Jim House, and Lou Everstine. The winter play, Winterset, by Maxwell Ander- son, v as produced by Bob Levy and featur- ed Lou Everstine, Mort Segal, Lee Sutton, Ed Koran, Paul Wolfe, and Bill Lee. The final production of the Dramatic Club was Play- boy of the Western World, an Irish comedy by James Synge, produced by Jack Williams and starring Bob Miller, Harvey Rabbin, and Ed Doctorow. Officers for next year are Jack Williams, producer; Frank LeFever, assistant producer; Mort Segal, stage manager; John Horswell, production manager, and Ron Smith, busi- ness manager. By popular demand of the student body “Winterset was produced in February. It was not quite as popular after the performance. The play itself was a poor choice; the acting deplor- able and the scenery hastily put to- gether. It was, however, a valiant at- tempt. IMATICS THETA NU EPSILON T.N.E., provocative nucleus of the bibulous many on the Kenyon campus, is net a fraternal organization rankled by the usual ritualistic voodoo, but sim- ply the occasional assembly of a fer- vent little band of gentlemen from all corners under one. not to mystical ban- ner. The present band of ' actives is a group weak in number but powerful in their determination to see that the feats of the old school do net die. Time and circumstance heve cut a merciless swath in the ranks ol T.N.E., forcing such infamous regulars as Biff Daley and Dickie Cummings to aban- don the Thinking Committee. Operating under a policy of encou- raging live programs, as opposed to programs of recorded music, WKCG has presented this year probably the most varied program fare in its history. A substantial appropriation from the Student Assembly first in the station s history—has aided materially in this development. Although the staff of announcers and engineers is comparatively small, the station has been in daily operation including Saturdays and Sundays. Key personnel are Bill Gray, chief announc- er, Mel Plotinsky, program director, and Dave Ryeburn, chief engineer; they are aided and abetted by a host of others, all of whom have contributed largely to the success of the station. 72 W.

The first event, its annual in- ter-fraternity speech contest, was won by the Beta's and DP s. The group also arranged an assembly which featured the Kenyon debate squad, and conducted an individual events speech tournament. At present it is planning a student-faculty debate over WKCG. T.K.A. has been at Kenyon since 1936. Its faculty members are President Chalmers. Dr. Titus, Dr. Coffin, Dr. Sutcliffe, and Mr. McGowan. Herb Meyers, debate coach, serves as adviser. SENIOR DEBATE Under the direction of Herb Myers, Kenyon's forensic program this year was the most active and successful of several seasons. The Varsity debate team, composed of Bob Ashby, Bob Bennett, Jim Kennedy, and Roger Swigert, attended a direct clash tour- nament at Wooster, where they placed first; the Men's State Tournament at Capital, where they won six and lost six; and the National Tau Kappa Alpha Conference at Case, at which the team made a credible showing while Ashby and Swigert placed among the lead- ing extemporaneous speakers. The freshman debate squad, consisting of Allen Gibbs, Bob Greenberger, John Niemann, and Roger Swigert, attended a Novice Tournament at Western Re- serve, at which they tied for first. The intra-squad debate before the College assembly, a debate before the Kiwanis Club in Mt. Vernon by Ashby and Swigert, the inter-fraternity speaking contest, a faculty-student forum, and the individual events contests were other forensic activities. It was a good year for speech on the Hill. ATHLETICS FOOTBALL The football team this year labored in the shadow of the 1950 undefeated season, but they labored admirably. The close of sea- son found Coach Henderson's eleven with a good Kenyon record for any year: three wins against three defeats. The only problem with which Coach Henderson did not have to cope was that of athletic scandals which were sweeping many of the other colleges. The 1951 Kenyon eleven was clean living if not always potent. With the striped grass still warm from the first contest, at Wooster, Coach Henderson found himself clipped of his powerful back- field by the demon injury. Both Chuck Cof- fey, an outstanding ground gainer through the line, and Stan Jackson, the pride of the break away runners, were carried to the sidelines before the final whistle blew, beg- ging Wooster to accept an 18 to 13 victory Injuries cut the offensive potential in half Despite the effective passing of querte: back Dorn Cabriele and the iron man tactics of Don Murphy, the Lords could not retort to the point grabbing Wooster Scots and so bowed out of the opening game. A little patching put a new team up against Otterbein the following Saturday with happier results, a Kenyon victory 21 to 7. Sturdy line men Marsh, Nichols, Glasser. Capt.

Chuck Coffey was able to make only intermittent dashes into the game but led by Cabriele's sneaky handoffs his yardage piled up. Murphy's limp got worse and worse. The long trip to Geneva, New York and Hobart proved fatal lor the rainpaging pur- ple and white, but not before the Lords had made the Red arch rivals desperate for every point. At the half it looked as if the Lord gridmen might successfully squelch the Hobart hopes for the second straight year. The score stood, Kenyon 14, Hobart 12. The last half proved too exhaustive for the Lord eleven, however, and Hobart, marching the length of the field from their own two-yard line on one occasion, took advantage of Purple huffing and puffing to tally twice and secure a 26 to 14 victory. The Purple and White made its second comeback of the SI season by severely trouncing a Capitol eleven on Capitol's home field, 34 to 27. The Henderson men concentrated solely on the offensive attack and easily managed to outscore the hap- hazard Capitol team. Coffey, Mio, and Marsh grabbed scoring honors v ith their individual goal line efforts, but the outstand- ing play recorded for the afternoon was that of the team as a whole. In no other game did the eleven work so well together or score so many points as a result of their uniform efforts. Homecoming provided a rare scene, some- thing more resembling the Ice Follies than a November Saturday afternoon football game. The snow stood inches deep on Ben- son field and the skies offered no promise of sunshine. Snow told on the efficiency of both Kenyon and Hamilton, for the best part ol the sixty-minute tilt was spent pick- ing up each other's fumbles. The trades back and forth were pretty even throughout the first half, Cabriele scoring on a quarterback sneak and Hugh McGowan scoring on a pretty pass from the stubby fingered man un- der center, and Hamilton returning the same number of tallies. Again the Lord contin- gent fell short in the scoring column in the last half, and the final totals found Runyon limping at the short end of a 26 to 12 defeat. The Kenyon surge made its third come- back of the season's play by overwhelming a strong Hiram squad 32 to 21. The half score had found Kenyon bewildered by a point grabbing Hiram's 12 to 0 lead. For once during the season Kenyon was able to turn the tables in the last half and v ith thirty two points at the v histle proved they could give their all right down to the final minutes. The season as a v hole more than satis- fied both coaches Henderson and Stiles and the Kenyon fans. V e shall regret losing many an outstanding letterman this year, veterans of both the last two year's success- ful campaigns. Graduating are Captain Bill Ranney, guard. Grant Cooke, an out- standing tackle and line backer who was sidelined by injuries most of the season. Stan Jackson, fleet-foot halfback. Bob Mc- Owen, tackle, Tim Ryan, quarterback, and John VerNooy, glue fingered end. The Ken- yon Lords will also be victim of a serious loss in the head coach Dave Henderson v ill not be returning as the Kenyon mentor next year. There are high hopes, hov ever, in the sophomore strength, McGowan, Mc- Alister, Glaser, Hayden, and Marsh, and freshman Evans, Moore, Briggs, and Wall- ace plus the veteran wisdom of Dorn Cab- riele and Ron Fraley that there exists the po- tential v hereby Kenyon may continue its winning v avs. 77 SOCCER The soccer team this year, under able coach Franklin Miller, booted and bounded their way through six rugged contests to come up with an admirable record of three wins and three defects. Making a terrifying practice of coming from behind to win, the fancy-foot men trimmed the Ohio State Buckeyes twice, 3 to 1 and 4 to 3, adding to these victories a shut out 2 to 0 win over Western Reserve. The team lost a heart breaker to the old enemy Oberlin when, hav- ing led at the half, the wind and snow prov- ed too much for the Kenyon endurance and the hooters fell at the short end of a 5 to 2 tally. In much the same fashion the Miller- men let Earlham college slip out in front in an overtime. Outstanding on the squad this year were those men who at the close of the regular season participated in the Olympic tryouts held here on the Kenyon campus. Butch Aulenbach, Bill Camp, Si Axtell, Tookie Cole, Bo Mohr, Willy Ferguson, Joe Pavlo- vich and Jerry Ellsworth all made a fine showing and spoke well for Coach Millers guidance. The team this year loses three veteran powermen via the Graduation route, Jerry Ellsworth, one of the highest scorers. Si Axtell and Bill Camp. To make up for the losses Coach Miller is counting on such younger soccer aspirants as Dave Cummings, Bill Smart and Fred Burrell to fill in first team openings next year and to keep soccer interest strong at Kenyon. v ‘VR™Jf‘iiger' I™1 F ?o!

Kenyon's own frog men came through the winter season with a very respectable record, coming out even in the won and lost columns with live victories against as many defeats In the Annual Ohio Conference Championships at the end of the regular season Kenyon's record was commendable, placing second out of the six teams entered in the meet with fifty-five points and aveng- ing many of the individual setbacks which had been suffered in previous encounters with these schools. Co-Captains Herb Ullmann and George Christ led the swimmers into the high scor ing this past season Ullmann himself cap- ping all honors with a lofty total of 117 points hung up during the season and with at least one pool record set in the fifty yard dash. Next in line for cheers, A1 Eastman, veteran 220 yard and 440 yard freestyler, who ran up a total of 111 points. John Brad- field, a freshman paddler who provided the veteran squad with some unexpected but most valuable assistance, prided himself upon a total of 72 points. Little Dave Heck who can be seen nowhere but always ends up somewhere racked up a fine score of 36, Dave Smith, Denny Hoeffler, Dick Tollman, and Bob Ausman balancing out the power averaging about 20 points apiece. Much is to be said for Coach Pat Pasini who took the sv immers under his own wing when there was no name swimming coach to be had. With so many undergrads hav- ing benefited from Pat's training program this season we may well look forward to bigger and better records next year. We shall, however, heartily miss the grand div- ing and sprinting of Herb Ullmann and the expert backstroke of George Christ, the only graduating members of the team this year. Both Herbie and George have distinguished themselves as leaders of Kenyon Swimming for the past three years.

Willie Reade, and Don Marsh. Dick Eller, who merited a purple K during his fresh- man 1951 season, was unable to participate this year owing to an unfortunate lec in- jury. First year man Chad Vogt did an admirable job filling high scoring Dick Eller's place, but nevertheless, Ellers loss seriously depleted the team s prospects from the beginning of the season. In the words of coach Dave Henderson, A good team but seriously lacking that very basic factor in modern college basketball, height.

The bottom fell out of coach Henderson s offense and defense. The best retort that the Lord five were able to muster to the series of successive defeats which followed on the heels of the opening con- tests was a 75 to 70 upset victory over Capi- tol. This Capitol win, which turned out to be the third and last for the Kenyon contingent, was doubly satisfying, however, for not only were the Caps” highly favored to overwhelm the limping Kenyon five but also were making a bid for the Conference cham- pionship which the Lord victory permanently dampened. Throughout the season the team continued to show progress and improve- 80 BASKETBALL SEASON CHAD VOGT LOOKING FOR THAT HOOP. ment as evidence by the narrow margins by which many of the Lord opponents edged out victories. In mid season two successive blows to the team's potential left Coach Henderson reeling. Gene Mio transferred from Kenyon, and Chad Vogt was temporar- ily lost to the team as the result of a scholas- tic entangle. Tov ard the end of the sea- son a lot of sparkling play was turned in by individual members of the team. V ill Reade, Ron Fraley, and Don Marsh all continued to distinguish themselves in the high scoring columns while 5'7 Jack Gammon promoted himself to the regular lineup by adding to the team s offense and defense the spark and fire of a man twice his size. While reserve strength was not equal to the need much promise of better things to come was evidenced in the play of both Barry Cahill and Mike Brandriss. Coach WILLIE READE STRAINS. MIO IS HESITANT.

At this point Dave Henderson has sta tioned hirnself in the field house and only smiles when one or another of the student body bumps his head coming in the door We can only hope with him that next years freshman class will provide several of the long and lanky variety to boost to a better record the seven returning lettermen, Fraley, VerNooy, Brandriss, Marsh, Gammon, Cahill, and Vogt, three juniors and four sophomores respectively.

THE 1952 LACROSSE Kenyon College's Lacrosse team has started ofl its season on the same right foot as have the other spring sports In two pre-season games the men v ith the gutted sticks came up against some of the toughest competition they ever hope to meet, losing a rough and tumble encounter v ith a pro- fessional like Washington and Lee team. 14 to 3 but coming from behind at a later date to give a University of Delaware pow- erhouse a run for their lives with a 7 to 7 tie. The experience gained from these pre- season contests proved fruitful, for with the opening gun of Ohio Conference play the Kenyon stockmen ran backwards and for- wards over Denison and Ohio State teams with wins recorded at 14 to 3 and 13 to 3 respectively. This year's Lacrosse team is ably led by Co-Captains Si Axtell and Irwin Abrahams The team has the advantage of being man- ned mostly by lettermen or by freshmen who have shown remarkable talent in picking up the old Indian tricks.

The teletypes batter on into the night. Kenyon Nine Grabs Conference Lead With Triple Victories. Just cause for wonder, es- pecially if one should search back through the baseball records for anything porten- tous of a winning season. But, no wonder. Coach Pat Pasini has looked up from the usual gloom of the dugout to find finally, and much to his surprise, nine men playing baseball in the orthodox fashion in which nine men are supposed to play baseball. This has seldom happened in previous years. This winning Kenyon team is the re- sult of a perfect balance of the old regulars and several new, rookie players working together. Among the veteran ball players are Hugh McGowan behind the plate, Ron Fraley skittering about first base, Captain Dick Thomas careening between second and third, and Mike Hayden roaring on third base. Dick Promin is becoming fairly well acquainted with the right field grass. Bob Forsyth with left field when he is not hurling mush balls out on the mound. The real boost to the veteran squad has been in the persons of bonus rookies Dom Cabriele, Phil Pitney and Bill Williams brought up from the tutelage of the Kenyon farm system to bring fire to the second base, center field, and pitching positions, respectively.

Grooves, Ryan. T„ Ryan. R. R.. Harrison. R S.. Goldborg. McMasters, H. L. Warner. Jr., coach. Kenyon tennis teams in the past have gained wide renown for their ability to over- whelm their opponents from large and small schools alike. This year's team should be no disappointment to the good record. Led by Captain Ronny Ryan, who last season fell only to the incomparable Tony Trabert, the tennis team has high hopes this year of spin- ning dizzily to another season undefeated in Conference play. No graduations having weakened last year's lineup, the tennis team is favored this year with being well acquain- ted with each other's play and with the sa- gacious strategy of Coach Lanny Warner. Veteran netmen under Captain Ryan, Tildon McMasters, Jack Goldberg, Tim Ryan, Dick Harrison, and Bill Greaves, have been furth- er assisted toward accomplishing their win- ning ways by a new and powerful addition to the ranks, Barry Cahill. To date, the tennis team has lived up to expectations by leveling off the University of Akron and Denison without a loss in either single or double matches. U n - doubtedly the toughest prospects which loom in the future for the racketeers will be the Kalamazoo, Michigan and the old enemy Oberlin. Kenyon court fans look forward to the season's close with hopes that the team may repeat last year's clean sweep of the Ohio Conference finals.

Much is owed to him and his officers who, with the East Wing Association and the undergraduate members of the Chapter, worked cooperatively for the advancement and prestige of the Fraternity. Alpha Delta Phi put its best foot forward during rushing period last fall and was reward- ed with the addition of an excellent group of pledges. The bleak winter months were bright- ened a bit by the very succesful Faculty Christmas Party in December and the gift of some beautiful pieces of furniture for our lounge by the alumni in January and February. Spring activities included the formal initiation, a softball game and party here with the Miami Chapter as guest, and Commencement celebrations. Freshmen through seniors will remember this as a good year. ALPHA DELTA PHI OFFICERS President A. M. GRIGGS Vice-President R G. GERKEN Secrotary P. A. CHALBERG Treasurer I. C.

In scholarship, Psi U has moved from near the bottom to a place among the top four groups on the Hill. Meanwhile the Division has placed lettermen on the Soccer, Football, Tennis and Lacrosse teams. A great deal of work has been dene on the physical quarters of the Chapter Through gracious gifts and cooperation of the Alumni we have been able to completely refurnish the recond floor, while adding a television set to the Campbell-Meeker Room. The Active mem- bers have also constructed a recreation room in the before unused basement room of North Leonard. The Iota, however, has not been completely serious all year, for its members have found time to be quite active socially. Many good parties during the year have both strted and ended in the Division, and in general, the Brothers have had a very enjoyable year. PSI UPSILON OFFICERS Preudoat V. L GUANDOLO 1st.

In the Fall of year the many waifs upon our intramural football team compiled an uninterrupted string of victories to win the intramural Trophy. Pledge Robert First further bloated the chapter's pride by bringing the Hoag Trophy for Sportsmanship. The termina- tion of the rushing period found Beta Alpha enlightened by fourteen upstanding pledges. The chapter, numbering forty strong, started off at a fast pace with the October Homecoming, succeeding in capping all honors with our 'Ode to Intoxication’ homecoming display. Weeks later found the chapter starting to limp immediately following a rousing Dance Weekend. With Winter and the Faculty Cocktail party the chapter found itself approaching the holidays definitely on its knees. The semester closed in February with small prayers in quiet corners to the gods who made A s, B s and C s. Beta Alpha began the second semester with new vigor. Headlining the events in the first half of the Spring term was the Beta Roundup. Eeta Alpha played host to five chap- ters out of District Twelve on the Kenyon campus, entertaining the visiting firemen with a round of activities culminating in a rather vociferous orgy on Saturday night. A good time was had by all. Spring vacation beckoned many Beta Alphians to the sunnier shores of Florida. The last six or seven v eeks in the spring are always ones of glad hilarity for the South Leonard girls. The Sun Club meets everyday on the lawn. The lawn parties follow suit. The more vigorous may be seen attempting to dent that mollified spherical dov n on the intramural softball field. And as the sun sinks slowly in the west, final exams, we must pause to extend our thanks to two Beta Alpphians of the higher order, Dick Thomas and Benny Agler, for their devoted efforts to keep us all within the bounds of law and order throughout the year. 91 DELTA TAU DELTA As June approaches and the seniors prepare to graduate it seems natural to look back over the year past and forward to the one ahead. Since last September the Delts have done all sorts of things. Bill Ranney captained the football team last fall while Si Axtell led the soccer team. In spring sports Si was co-captain of the lacrosse squad and Ron Ryan cap- tained Kenyon's conference-champ tennis team. Jerry Ellsworth and Wayne Cody showed off their theatrical talents in A Midsummer Night's Dream” and Winterset, Tillie McMasters took over the editorship of the Collegian in February, and Bob Roth served as chairman of the Student Council Committee for the Revision of the Constitution . Norman Nichol spent the second semester at the American Uni- versity in V ashington under the Washington Semester Plan. The wedding bells rang out and three Delts answered the call. Bert Craig, Si Axtell and Dick McPherson each took the fatal step. When June 9 rolls around eight seniors will leave us, to return, we hope, as alumni. Their absence from parties and bull sessions, from chow and movies will be strongly felt by the remaining Delts. The big thing now for the rest of us is next year. We will feel the loss of those who graduated but will be relying on our new initiates to fill the gap. We expect the '52-'$3 year to be another big one for the residents from Middle Leonard.

In intramurals Sigma Pi took a big step forward with good records in most sports and a couple of trophies to hide. To this we might add the fact that several men lettered in varsity sports. The Alumni Homecoming in the Spring is a succesful first for us, bringing back alumni from all over the country each April. We can't complain about the results of the year's operations. We've had a fine pledge class, several men taking their places as leaders about the Hill, and fine social life from start to finish. SIGMA PI OFFICERS Prosidont J. A. HALL Vico-Presldent D. K.

PHI KAPPA SIGMA North Henna began the school year rather slowly and unspectacularly both scholas- tically and intramurally. but as the months passed, we showed some signs of improvement in these two fields, thanks to the help of some fifteen men pledged in the fall. In athletics we were represented by Bently ana Hall in football; Reade, Hall, and Turner in basketball; Heck in swimming; and Murphy, Little 3ear Aulenbach, and Bently in lacrosse. With Will Reade and Ron Hobbs leading the way with seven first places between them. The Phi Kaps won the intramural track meet by a substantial margin. Academically, George Lanning, North Hanna's first novelist, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Art Johnson, who was married during spring vacation, served as president this past year, while Tom McCarthy and Nick Oancea held that all-important position of social chairman and were responsible for successfully maintaining Phi Kappa Sigma's social position on campus. 94 t- Fir t Row: Carey.

The year started off with rushing amid a volley of parties They were very successful and helped net Delta Phi a fine group of men. Homecoming, with its usual assortment of balding and reminiscing alumni, found most of the festivities indoors including general thawing parties because of the prematurely blustery winter weather. The pledge-active party in December was the usual success. Pledge .ed Mayer kept circling the room muttering something about personal dignity. Needless to say everyone was in the holiday spirit. The winter brought exams and an unusual calm over the division. Bridge was temporar- ily suspended, and some offered up silent prayears to the gods of the A. B, and C s, while others temporarily moved to Mather Hall Spring brought the softball enthusiasts out on the diamond. We have hopes for a good season. Under the tutelege of Prex Gayley, Delta Phi can seriously say that 1951-52 has been cr.e of improvement and achievement. DELTA PHI OFFICERS Prosiacr.t O G GAYLEY Viee-Prostdent T RYAN Secretary I.

Scholastic activ- ties, athletics, campus activities, rushing, and hell-raising were the chief fields of endeavor for the residents of South Hanna. In other words, all phases of life at Kenyon were enjoyed by the Archons. Scholastically, the fraternity remained on top, winning the Scholarship Cup and the Freshman Cup as well. Neidhardt and Hagan were elected to Phi Beta Kappa, while Bennett was initiated into Tau Kappa Alpha, national honorary forensic society. On the athletic field participating in varsity sports were Pavlovich, Fedele, Ferguson, Rhodes, Schrier, and Thomas. Neidhardt v as president of the Student Council, and Pavlovich was president of the Junior class. Chappelear, Roy, and Waters sang with the choir and the Kenyon Singers. Geeslin played in the band, and Ryeburn kept WKCG on the air. Rushing increased the fraternity's number by ten. The return of Doug Waters, a founding father, the occasional visits of alumni, and any excuse for a party kept the division's social life rollicking. ARCHON OFFICERS President I. P.

The division maintained its usual high scholastic average, although this position was often jepordized by the Middle Kenyon Seven, High Eall and other worthy time consumers. Both Dance Weekends were quite successful, and many parties were held over vocifer- ous objections of the treasurer. The high spot of the intermural seasons was softball at which the Mu Kap squad did admirably. This commencement will see twelve seniors leave the hallowed halls, enter life in khaki or blue serge. We wish them well. B. Ausman S. Benjamin M. Bolts H. Coburn R. Collin N. Crome J. Dalie E. Doctorow R. Figg C. Fuller MEMBERS G. Geasey J. Gellens R. Gillis J. Goldberg W. Goldhurst W. Gray H.

TURSHEN 97 I I THE CALENDER OF THE YEAl SEPTEMBER The year's crop of fuzzies, resplendent in gaudy ties and fawn - coloured sandals, came on the Hill on September 13, confident in their hearts that after the rigours of Excelsior High, Kenyon could show them nothing that they couldn't master. The gaudiness and the sandals were to be dis- carded for sedate stripes and white bucks, the neophyte confidence to be transformed into a sense of awe for all that Excelsior High had never dreamed of teaching them. They were, as far as we can judge, no different horn any crop of fuzzies that has come on the Hill for the past five years . . . Freshman Week, with speeches from Dean 3ailey, starting his fifth year as general practitioner to the ills of Kenyon men, and from the great and near-great of the ad- ministration and upperclass student body, with tours, examinations .movies, confer- ences and registration, ended abruptly with the arrival of the confident upper-classes on September 18, The campus was no longer planned for and seen through freshman eyes The Great Hall came alive with the noise of men at home ; the food was no longer leisurely served or leisurely eaten or even digested; new terms were shouted out, harsh and foreign to the attentive freshman ears: the Bobbseys —“Black Death —''P 38”— The Rock —“Fawncey -—harsh and foreign, indeed, but all to become, soon, a meaningful and integral part of life at Ken- yon . . . Classes began on the nineteenth. Dr. Cahall turned over his yellowing notes and destroyed the Roman Empire for the 36th consecutive year; Dr. Ashford terrified his 500th freshman with the admonition You’re an ahss, and you'll take a double F”; Sam Cummings took up smoking his chalk and v riting with his cigarette once more, and again Stu McGowan warded off potential threats to his classroom monologue by advising that it all depends on whose ox is being gored. . . . After the first week of classes, students all but gave up the ghost and began populating the local pub, the faculty found solace in the Faculty Club and in committee meetings. Griping began again, intensified this year by the Admini- strations demand that the student body go to assembly to improve their minds and to Church to purge their souls. Even in these first few days of school, all upperclassmen were sure that a reign of tyranny had started . . . Rushing and its attendant in- vidiousness began, and freshman again saw Kenyon men and Kenyon fraternities as they never were or will be. Luckily, few were de- ceived but the rushers . . . And so began the 128th College year—quietly, traditionally, and, with everyone s future mutually uncer- tain, even a bit fearfully. • TERRIFYING HIS 500th FRESHMAN” EMPHASIZING EXTRACURRICULA PLACID GAMBIER. BEFORE THE MONSOONS REMEMBER WHEN FATS PEIRCE . . . Y‘ THE CLOCK WAS STOPPED THE WHOLE WEEK END OCTOBER October on the Hill was a month teeming, if placid Kenyon can be said to teem, with all the activity people look for and expect in a well-balanced liberal arts college. We played our first games of football and soc- cer hard and well, if not consistently suc- cessful}'. we danced in Hall”; we listened with discerning and critical ear to lectures on India, on the British elections, on con- temporary German militarism, and on Ja- pan, delivered by a handful of our ov n and other scholars . . . On the nineteenth and twentieth the College, personified by Dr. Chalmers, was host to a Conference on Free Inquiry in the Modern World and Its Dependence on Christianity. Many of the students, frightened by the title, avoided the sessions of the Conference like the plague, assured that Dr. Chalmers could handle the whole thing nicely by himself. He did. Following addresses by Amos Niven Wilder of Chicago, Dr. Salomon, and Douglas Bush of Harvard, Dr. Chalmers concluded the sessions with an admirably acute analysis of the subject matter of the whole confer- ence. As the scholarly guests left the cam- pus refreshed, we hoped, by what they had heard, the College pounced once again on its comparatively trivial curricula and extra- curricula . . . The Collegian, in its first issues of the year, found much to be disgruntled about, printing its sentiments of question- able taste in a new, tabloid form . . . The • SHARING BEER AND SMOKE AND CHATTER' Senior Society elected new members, and busied itself in finding something to be busy about, settling finally on soliciting blood for the Blood Bank, ushering, and discussing Trustee-made rules with an ada- mant faculty . . . Students, perplexed by not seeing the familiar faces of Professors Chalmers, Sutcliffe, and Transue, learned that they had been granted leaves of ab- sence, and, a month late, they turned to give unofficial greeting to their replace- ments for the year: to Howie Babb, whom some of us remembered as a recent under- graduate, to John Atlee and his bicycle, to Dan Finkbeincr, Phi Beta mathematician ... Rusing ended on October 12, and with few exceptions, each fraternity settled down to pay its rushing bills, confident that it had won the best pledge class on the Hill. It looked that way to us, too . . . Hopes and fears began rising about an R.O.T.C. unit for Kenyon and the prospect of the future Kenyon without such a unit was a gnawing ache in the hearts of those who cared . . . Students griped about the food, about the weather, and especially about the Admini- stration's efforts to enforce its rules. The term Bailey's Prep was born . . . Unhappi- ly, October had also to witness the death of Financial Vice President Don C. Wheaton. Mr. Wheaton was not an obtrusive man, and few undergraduates knew him person- ally; yet everyone knew of him, and those who had reflected felt better because he was at Kenyon doing what he was. He is sincerely missed. HANDLING THE WHOLE THING NICELY BY HIMSELF.' NOVEMBER November was busy. Alumni returned in droves for Homecoming on the third, and watched their team fight, but ultimately be defeated in the bitter fall winds. They watched the game together as Kenyon men, and then adjourned to the parlours of their own divisions, where they inquired, cen- sured and praised as fraternity men. Where their strongest ties and loyalties lay, only they could tell. Pledges heard for the first time the countless “you remember stories of “Fats Peirce, “Sheenie Manning and, of course, the “Fawnce. They shared with their future brothers the beer and smoke and chatter, and retired assured that their new allegiance encompassed far more than they had imagined . . Academic regalia was in TERPSICHORE AND DIONYSUS IN COMPETITION evidence for the third time of the year on the sixth, Founders' Day, v hen 109 of last year's freshmen entered forever the ranks of Kenyon alumni in the rite of Matricula tion. Although no one seemed properly stirred, the ceremony was impressive On the ninth and tenth Bexley burst forth from its quiet austerity to play host to a Conference on the Ministry, which was not- ed by the undergraduates only because of the prodigious number of backward collars and clerical greys “in Hall. Bishops Hobson and Burroughs were among the speakers at the five sessions of the Conference . . . Other speakers during the month included Profes- sor Titus and Atlee, discussing informally wage and price controls. Professor Atlee alone, on an Asian's view of Russia, and Congressman Jackson Betts '26 . . . The Ken- yon Film Society began its new season with a showing of Rudolph Valentino in 'The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Per- haps a flicker or two of forgotten fascination surged up in the hearts of the star's some- time female fans, but to the undergraduates the whole performance seemed pretty con- trived . . . While football and soccer games continued to be well played and good sport, the record of wins for both was not im- pressive . . . After two months of waiting and anticipation, the Fall Dance and its at- tendant gaiety finally arrived; and for the first time in years the undergraduates seem- ed as interested in the works of Terpsichore as they always have been in those of Dionysus. Howdie Gorman and Bob Sidnell played for the Friday and Saturday dances, respectively V ith the regal entertaining of the divisions and the presence of women on the campus adding a refreshing and re- assuring note, the week-end was, all in all, a happy one. Even Headmaster Bailey seemed pleased . . . Thanksgiving came and went almost unnoticed by those who did not live close enouah to get home for the day, although the Chard-Kimball's Thanks- giving dinner wes a banquet in every sense of the word ... Jim Michael came up at the end of the month with another tastefully planned and brilliantly executed staging of Shakespeare, this time A Midsummer Night's Dream. The staging, the costumes and a company of Gambier children dressed as elves made the evening a pleasant one. The actors were helpful, too ... To close the month, Bexley, by now in the conference meed, played host once again to the Fall Rural Lectures. Among the topics discussed in this series was one which, we think, must have been added to the agenda at the last minute by someone who had seen and heard too many conferences and knew what this one, too, was bound to accomplish. Guardedly but honestly, the topic was en- titled A Partial Solution to Some Problems. We could not help being struck by the sharp contrast between this academic reserve and Franklin Miller's bold assembly speech earlier in the month, which purported tc explain “The Origins of the Universe' —in thirty minutes. BISHOP AND MRS. TUCKER SAY . . . FAREWELL DECEMBER In December the International Relations Club, inspired by the wave ol conferences that had been running rampant on the Hill, decided that it would have its own. Com- bining small discussion groups with major addresses by Martha Black of the State Department and Hans Morgenthau of Chi cago, the Club even found time for what they quaintly termed a social and dance'' . . . The Film Society's second production was a fairly entertaining series of documen- tary films, including The Land, The Riv- er, and Easter Island . . . The College Choir, joined by the voices of women from Mount Vernon and Gambier, presented a program of Christmas music early in the month in the College chapel; later they, in turn, joined with the Community Chorus of Mount Vernon to present The Messiah” in Mount Vernon. Paul Schwartz's capable direction made both programs a happy in- troduction to the Christmas season . . . Stu McGowan got in a conference of his own, when he welcomed the Ohio Athletic Con- ference to the Hill on the celebration of that organization's fiftieth anniversary . . . Mit- tens, scarfs, dolls and even a doll house re- plete with furniture were put up for sale at the annual Christmas Bazaar at the Book Shop on the fourth. The lunch of skimpy tea sandwiches designed f o r feminine palates, caused hungry professors, dragged to the Bazaar against their will, to stampede the Village Inn in search of man-sized ham- burgers and coffee, but otherwise nothing went amiss . . . Basketball and swimming began, and with their arrival the College let go, with reluctance, the last few vestiges of the warm fall . . . Louis Bromfield put in a plug for agriculture and chemistry at one of r ■ GONE WERE THE LAST VESTIGES OF THE WARM FALL. the College assemblies, and Kenyon turned to airing its own views and its own profes- sors on two programs: Kenyon College on the Air and This is Kenyon Calling, emanating from Mount Vernon's new FM station . . . The annual Children's Christmas Party, though diligently planned for and generously contributed to, had to be post- poned because of an epidemic of chicken pox at the Children's Home. Kenyon's loss was the greater, for while the children's part of the festivity was sent over to them, we had to do without the sparkling eyes and the childishly hysterical expressions of joy which come to be a real part of our own Christmas . . . After a week's tussle with down tests and after much griping about not being able to cut the last-minute classes before vacation (for which they were paying about two dollars each), the company of undergraduate scholars left the Hill on Sat- urday, the fifteenth, as though pursued by a swarm of locusts. 105 JANUARY Classes resumed, unhappily, on the third of January. With palates accustomed to lavish holiday foods and minds and bodies relaxed by res: and freedom from scholas- tica, Kenyon men turned with disdain to the New Year's version of Mystery Meat'’ and the Allegory of the cave . . . Sam Cummings was back from Florida with his face tanned the shade of old leather; and at least two students returned with wives, continuing the marital wave that has been plaguing Dr. Ashford ever since ... Dr. Thornton spoke on the signifiance of the Lysenko controversy to Orthodoxy and Science, and Paul H. Gore- Booth, of the British Information Services, spoke informally alter coffee on a quiet Saturday night . . . Two bits of information were released from different offices about money: one. from Ed Camp, advised that the Commons fee would be raised fifteen dollars; the other, from Secretary Bob Brown, acknowledged the receipt, by the College of $128,500 since October. The form- er announcement received the major share cf attention . . . Bored, weary and anxious over the coming semester examinations, an alarming number of undergraduates an- nounced that they had had enough and were transferring to greener field. Critics of the administration were quick to lay the whole blame for low morale on Chalmers, Bailey and Company; they were almost disappointed, too, when all but four or five of the recalcitrants showed up for registra- tion in February . . . Million Dollar Legs, starring W. C. Fields, the Film Society's third presentation, seemed the only ap- propriate one to date, and it was v elcomed heartily . . . Mezzo-Soprano Marie Sirame- link Kraft sang a varied and colourful pro- gram for the first concert of the year, on the seventeenth . . . Classes ended on the nine- teenth, at which time unbroken books were removed from piles of miscellany, course spoilers were cajoled and threatened into parting with the notes they had so diligently accumulated during the semester, and even the proudest humbled themselves by being seen in the library. Study began in earnest; the local pub felt the pressure first and hard- est .. . The strain was over on the thirty- first, when three-quarters of the campus jubilantly left for a few precious days in the outer regions. Those who remained had their own celebration, and tried to be just as jubilant. From all appearances, they suc- ceeded admirably. DEMONSTRATING AGAINST THE WORLD' FEBRUARY 1 Stu McGowan came out of hibernation on February fourth to run uninterested stu- dents through the registration mill; his staff frantically stamped, sorted, questioned, and tried to look as important as their chief . . . New to the sparse curriculum were courses in theatre, offered by fim Michael, and in European philosophy, offered by visiting Wilfred Desen, taking Phil Rice's place for the semester. New to the College were eight new freshmen and transfer students ... On three successive Fridays during the month, Tau Kappa Alpha presented its an- nual contests in extemporary speaking, in- terpretive reading, and oratory. The Dra- matic Club's rather shabbily executed and unevenly acted performances of Winterset were put to shame by the cinematic offer- ings of the month: by the D'Oyly Carte in “The Mikado. Howard and Hiller in Pyg- malion,” and the Orson Welles saga. The Magnificent Ambersons. The experimen- tal and avant 'grade' films (or so the posters put it) the Film Society unearthed for their fourth presentation, including whir- ring mechanica and eyeball slashing, could hardly be considered as entertainment at all . . . Professors Braibanti and English ex- pressed their views on governmental cor- ruption and local conservatives, respective- ly, in assembly, and measured up admirably with ar.y of the outside speakers the College imported. . . The College danced, informally, on the ninth, and Bexley, more pretentious, had a Mardi Gras on the twenty-third . . . Phi Beta Kappa came out of its academic seclusion and into the public eye for the first time of the year by announcing, far ahead of the customary Honors Day, and in and off-hand manner, the names of the new undergraduates elected to its membership. The Chapter met for dinner and listened res- pectfully to the Phi Beta Kappa lecture: Don Colin H. Roberts of St. John's, Oxford, jumping around in this field of papyrology. . . . February saw an alarming number of the local manifestation known as “Peep Nights. The origin of this fairly savage rit- ual has never been explained to us, but we like to think of them as a vociferous demon- strations against the College, against the world, against life itself, prompted by a sub- conscious wish for a return to carefree, pre- kindergarten days. And, watching the par- ticipants, we often feel that they are actually realizing that subconscious wish, somewhat like religious fanatics getting the spirit ... The month closed v ith a variously success- ful concert by the Lake Erie College Choir, assisted by the Kenyon Singers. The pro- ximity of college men and women on the same platform made a pleasant evening. 107 MARCH March, above all else, brought the happy news that the College was to have an Air Force unit of R O.T.C, The admissions de- partment looked noticeably relieved, and undergraduates began seeing more of their President on the Hill. The immediate future of Kenyon College looked considerably brighter, and there was a general feeling of gratitude towards Dr. Chalmers for all that he had done to secure the unit, al- though few knew what a burden the job had been on him . . . The sophomore class pre- sented its annual extravaganza on the first of the month, this year in the form of a Eeaux Arts Ball. Relying on a multiplicity of costumes for much of its colour, the dance was widely attended and widely enjoyed . . . The Honors Day Convocation, with its at- tendant academic regalia, hymns, awards and applause, was on the fourth. Dr. Felix Morley, Washington Correspondent f o r Barron's Weekly, bewailed the prevalence of moral degradation, and seemed to make a point. . . Basketball and swimming, dying the natural death of the seasons, were re- placed by a vigorous lacrosse team and a baseball team made especially devoted by the promise of spring training in Florida .. . The Film Society closed its spotty season with the v ild west and Marlene Dietrich at their untamed best in Destry Rides Again, with drawling Jimmy Stewart tossed in as a bonus. Together they made a most en- joyable evening ... It was perhaps the anticipation of a presidential election, or the rising influence of the political science department, or simply a lack of imagination, but at any rate the Hill was quite overrun with lecturing Congressmen during the year. Two spoke to the assembly during the month: Patrick J. Hillings of California and Frazier Reams of Ohio's ninth district. Neith- er address was particularly notable, but Representative Hillings' youthful eagerness might have served as a mild inspiration to achievement . . . Other speakers ran ram- pant, too, lecturing on such diversified topics as church and state, differentiation, and pictures in the Louvre . . . Pressed with the awesome task of policy making, one of the fraternities played host to a horde of the fraternal cousins on one of the week ends of the month. Chard-Kimball and Com- pany provided a regal, if expensive ban- THE CHAPTER ITSELF SUPPLIED . . . ENORMOUS IDENTIFICATION BADGES” quet, and the chapter itself provided beer, music and enormous identification badges . . . Again buckling down to a last-minute stint with the rigours of formal education, undergraduates plowed through a week of down tests and then left for a too-short spring vacation. Jimmy Ryan's and the Bilt- more were sadly neglected during this vaca- tion, most of the self-styled cosmopolites choosing Florida as their brie: playground They returned, dusky and happy, wilh their less fortunate but better rested colleagues, on the twenty-sixth, to a Gambier still un- touched by the customary signs of spring. A MULTIPLICITY OF COSTUMES 108 APRIL In April the Park came to life again. When the trees on Middle Path burst forth their first buds, the sullen and the dejected alike took on new hope and new will; seniors saw on the budding campus not a few things, perhaps for the first time, that they felt they would soon miss. To everyone, the sight of verdance, for so long but a fond memory, made the dreary, wet winter seem almost worth waiting through ... As the third con- cert of the year, Frederic Balazs, violinist, performed works by Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, assisted by Paul Schwartz at the piano ... A score of high school principals and superintendents v ere guests of the Col- lege on the weekend of the fifth for a School and College Conference. Discussion ses- sions were rampant, including one with selected undergraduates. The whole thing gave every indication of becoming and an- nual affair . . . The Senior Society-sponsored Blood Bank was held on the seventh, with the College community coming through ad- mirably to top the quota. Even the faint- hearted felt proud that they had done their part, and looked condescendingly on the more faint hearted, who had stayed away . . . President Chalmers, Bayers Norton and two students discussed, over the air, the question of whether Kenyon did or should give athletic scholarships . . . Paul Radin talked of evolving a prose epic and Warren Babb, of the University of Louisville, dis- cussed classical devices in modern music. 3oth talks were well received by the custo- mary lecture audience . . . The films of the month proved to be equally as good as any the Film Society had presented under their banner. A French Volpone v as cunning- ly acted, and Charles Laughton tracked mercilessly through an English “Les Miser- ables” . . . D. Elton Trueblood, Earlham Col- lege philosopher, delivered the seventeenth series of Easter Lectures in a stentorian and • EVEN THE FAINT-HEARTED FELT PROUD A SENTORIAN AND COMPELLING VOICE 'TOP-NOTCH ACTING THROUGHOUT THE CAST compelling voice and made many friends . . . The Bexley Chowder and Marching Soc- iety met for luncheon with Dr. Chalmers and caused not a little speculation about its probable function in Kenyon society . . . There was an informal dance on the nine- teenth . . . TheDramatic Club's final produc- tion, Playboy of the Western World, was, fittingly, probably their best presentation of the year, with top-notch acting throughout the cast ... A host of high school seniors flooded the campus for the now inevitably annual pre-freshman day and were enter- tained quietly and rather artificially at a reception and smoker We thought that they v ere a rather impressive group, and we thought, too, that in them the future of under- graduate Kenyon would be safe, and strong. BEXLEY HALL After seeking advice and the candid expression of opinion on the part of some of the wisest and the best of that church, as to the propriety and ex- pediency of the effort, I ventured to solicit donations in money for the erec- tion of a new building at the seat of our Theological Seminary . . Having received his cordial, though modest, assent, the cdiface will be denominated Eexley Hall.” —Letter of Bishop Mcllvaine, 1834 111 THE ELOQUENCE OF ITS OFFSPRING The seminarian s life is undeniably dif- ferent from the college gallant. He realizes this when he enters the seminary. A great deal of his time is spent in prayer and study: classes begin at nine in the morning and end at ten to five, just prior to chapel. There are myriad projects and duties that the Bexley man performs. They are almost in- surmountable. The Bexley Missionary So- And so the Theological school was sepa- rated from Kenyon College through the good bishop's astuteness and proficiency at solici- ting funds from the sympathetic English. Bexley still remains at the other end of the Hill in a separate edifice and since 1828 has been prepring men for the pastoral mini- stry. Its enrollment has risen from forty-six in 1833 to fifty-five in 1952.

They also find time to visit and to preach at the State Hospital and the Avalon T.B. Sanatorium and to give what consolation they can. Bexley, like Kenyon College, governs it- self through a body, the Bexley Society. The Society naturally cooperates with the Dean in administrative functions. The social committee provides relaxation and entertainment and thus a little variety is added to the seminarian's rigourous daily routine. There is a time and a place to for- get the teachings of the day and throw aside the ecclesastical vestments for a little hand- ball in front of the Hall or a beer or two at the local pub. This year Bexley had three picnics, a Halloween and Christmas party, and a dance. The Bexleyite remains aware of the back- ground that he has received on the Hill at the tiny seminary, whether an alumnus or a student. Bexley’s unknown priceless qual- ity, perhaps attributable to its intimate size, its unpreter.tiousness, its unformality,, can be seen reflected in the composure and elo- quence of its offspring.

The 1952 REVEILLE Acknowledges The fine photographic v ork done by Sam Chambliss, whom we sorely missed second semester. Sam left for Newark, N.J. where he is employed by an engineering firm. ♦ The obliging attitude of Seymour Weisman who took over the photography of the REVEILLE second semester. His work showed a great deal of imagina- tion and thought. The aid of D. M. Garverick gladly gave to the REVEILLE when in need of group shot or an informal in a hurry. The unending help of Mrs. Fink and Mrs. Sutton n the Publicity Office in supplying the REVEILLE with everything from ancient zinc cuts to a pair of well-guarded shears The council and guidance ol Mr. J. Oldham, a representative of Jahn and Ollier Engraving Co., who followed the gradual progress of the REVEILLE to the last page. The stern hand and advice of Doan Frank E. Bailey who kept us in check during moments of irrationality. 129 You’d wait a long time for this daily train to pass! livery day this nation's cross country gas pipe lines deliver about 19 billion cubic feet of natural gas. That is equivalent in heat energy to a coal wain 20 thousand cars long! Imagine! This gives you an idea of how our industry and homes depend on gas . . . and on its amazing network of coast-to-coast pipe lines that today comprise one of America’s major fuel distribution systems. Still, we're not delivering nearly enough gas to do all the important jobs for which this low-cost fuel is so critically needed. Recognizing this, the men who head up America’s over-all pattern of defense production are clearing the way for expanded pipe line facilities—new lines, increased capacities, and the additional power needed to push the fuel from the producing fields to wherever it will do the most good! Ever since the start of the gas industry, Cooper- Bessemer has specialized in building the huge gas en- gines that power the hundreds of pipe line compressor stations. Today we’re building them at a greater rate than ever before . . . better than ever before because of the new ideas constantly being worked out and applied by one of America’s oldest engine builders.
