Kenyon College - Reveille Yearbook (Gambier, OH)

Page 20 text:

Kenyon College, upon entering into its one-hundred- thirty-ninth academic year, assumed a new external face- giuing Alma Mater an image of progress, but yet not al- tering radically the lnstitution's inherent dignity nor dis- tracting from its high purposes. The Philip R. Mather Chemistry Building was dedi- cated in June, 1962. The new million dollar library was completed in late summer and dedicated to the honor of Kenyon's late President and distinguished educator, Gor- don Keith Chalmers. The year was memorable also for the many promin- ent figures-literati, academicians, and entertainers-who illuminated the Gambier scene. Also signs of a new spirit seemed to be detected a- mong the student body, as evidenced by the enthusiastic service rendered in the bookmofuing, the increased hours devoted to study accruing through the facilities of the new library, and the campus controversies concerning self-study and Kenyon's sense of purpose. 3? x ' 1- Bl Q.

IN MEMORIAM The Editors deem it fitting and proper that Kenyon College, the home of lit- erary excellence as seen in the Kenyon Review and the honored recipient of a visit by the magnanimous American Poet Laureate only a few short weeks ago, should pay its heart-felt respect and sympathy to the memory of Robert Frost. The man and his works have been favorably appraised by gentlemen so much more capable than ourselves, that it would only be famous and vainly presump- tuous, on our part, to add to the record by attempting a eulogy on these fair pages. Let us take comfort that, although he had promised to visit with us again and further enrich our experience, he has been called to a better life and now dwells with Our Father in Heaven. Nevertheless, his poetry shall belong to the Ages. - l CONTENTS FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATION 32-33 SENIORS 52-53 FRATERNITIES 74-75 ACTIVITIES 98-99 ATHLETICS I I6-I 17 ADVERTISING 136-137
