Kenyon College - Reveille Yearbook (Gambier, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 220 of the 1964 volume:

f i i e i Yearbooks are conservative publications: It Is their role to pre- sent faithfully a segment of time and to preserve it for future rem iniscenses. The first Reveille was simply a listing of class and as- sociation memberships; later volumes included written accounts of the groups and eventually pictures were added. The form as we know it evolved slowly and REVEILLE 64 has been content to continue the traditional arrangement. Several changes, however, have been made to make the book more effective. We have returned to the practice of listing the faculty by department and the fraternities bv age, and we have moved senior information into an enlarged and diversified advertising section. Moreover, we have relied to a greater extent on photography and design and have consciously shortened or omitted a great deal of printed copy. These changes, we hope, have made REVEILLE 64 more attractive, more realistic, and more useful. In response to a rapidly changing Kenyon (and one whose traditions have been at times neglected by the administration) the staff has tried to Indicate the worth of'the old Kenyon in a pictorial history of the College. It has been printed separately for alumni and friends and has been included as the second portion of this book. Our brief history started as a modest twenty page section and has grown painfully to its present proportions. We were encouraged by the initial enthusiasm which greeted our idea, but subsequently disappointed by a lack of sustained support. 1 Dusty Path, as we have called our little history, does not pretend to be definitive, only accurate. It is our hope that it will entertain the reader, encourage interest In the history of the institution, and at least partially capture the spirit of Kenyon College. One man encouraged us constantly; it is with great regret that we note his passing. It was he who introduced us as freshmen to the history of Kenyon College; and he made us recognize the value of preserving that College s traditions. He taught English and American Literature with singular dedication: Always he strived to make better men of the boys who came to Gambler. During his eighteen years on the Hill, he continually reminded us of the value of decorum; the College's history and traditions he never forgot. Dennie himself became a tradition here. We mourn the passing of many traditions this year at Kenyon College, and especially that of Denham Sutcliffe to whose memory this volume is dedicated. photography by Peter G. Jessup and William R.

JR Security Officer SENIORS r - In 1963 the Knights of the Key found their wunder- kinder in the English department, where both had been posturing as students of literature. Ever since his reluctant arrival from Anniston, Alabama (that's in the Deep South) Mr. Perry Carlton Lentz, a very- late romantic, had been brooding over man's fate, as seen from West Wing. Mr. P. Frederick Kluge retired after two years of venomous reviews and outrageous editorials to nest In Norton Hall amidst a whirlpool of coffee-grounds, cigar butts, cheese-cartons, and potted plants. One is forced to speculate about the entrance requirements of a society which admitted two such contrary natures; for beyond silly academic averages and vague literary notions, these Initiates had only their suffering in common. 4 BK 'If you could fire any five faculty mem- bers, who would they lx ? This question, asked of the Senior Society by Dean Haywood at the group's first meeting, set the tone for future exchanges of ideas and opinions between the Society and college administrators. Leaving special studies and paperwork to campus committees, the Society preferred to discuss camous issues with Haywood and President I.uno in a more informal atmos- phere of mutual trust and respect. Members of the Senior Society art-chosen for their leadership in scholarship, extra- curricular activities or athletics—usually a combination of these. They act both as representatives of student opinion and so- called 'elder statesmen whose opinions have been formed during three years of active participation in campus life. Although the Society'smcmberscan point to no concrete symbol of achievement, it is possible that their talks with high school seniors on Pre-Freshman weekend induced at least a few of them to choose Kenyon. No one knows how many administrative decisions, if any, were influenced by the opinions of the Senior Society. But then no one knows how many Senior Society opinions were influenced by those of the administration. S MV'Situt) Hrt . Kill . Camper. Wajr. Hvioo.SckmU. SENIOR SOCIETY 24 John A.

Twenty-one if you count Ilattendorf, who, despite Capron and Philander Chase, is still somehow alive. They took a gaggle of Louisville boys and some face men and a host of Dracula-grinning. sweating hoys to drool into their suits and run pledge duties and compose songs, learning despite occasional protests and petitions and minute tempests the ritualistic steps toward unity. Hoys who have yet to learn the peculiar kaleidescopic pleasures of freshman year and the first snowfall, boys unbroken yet by the claustrophobia of gray walls and sophomore winter. Lambda may even go back into intramural athletics. Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered weak and weary over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, suddenly there came a tapping, as of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. Only a sophomore wants to go drinking, only this and nothing more. (E.A. Poe) Sophomores who drink like sophomores and talk inanely and continually in front of the reverential TV set, also like sophomores, and even yes, in the old Dcke sopho- more tradition, get suspended. And who break rush rules with abandon and even take seniors seriously in all of their jaded suspicion and paranoia. Who somehow have learned all there is to know about the College and will readily lecture upon it. Only sophomores, and nothing more. Our freshman year's a mem'ry, gone too our sophomore, and soon our friends and brothers will mourn us here no more. ( Kenyon Song) The Juniors, who again started the year by hearing how '64 messed up rush on the class of '65, who returned almost to a man with cars (giving DKE a car for every 1.3 actives), and who oddly found soulmates and solace among seniors and sophomores; people to room with and their measure of long-denied acceptance. At last the juniors found the racetrack to run their race full well upon. Sing a song of grad school, bottle full of rye, and our dozen seniors who now must pass or die (cry}sigh?deny?). (Nursery rhyme, M. (loose) Seniors who have watched bemused and slightly puzzled as their fraternity trans- formed itself in four years into something big and respectable, and with a chance of lasting until the fifth reunion ofthclrclass. Seniors clinging with emotion and nostalgia to the Gothic, leprous stone walls and old fraternity rituals, or seniors swearing their relief at getting out of this place. Hut all of them prating endlessly of how things used to Ik and shuddering at the skeletal face of next year: aspirations and engagements, scholarships and the draft, the sudden harsh criteria of life-outside, never really ex- pected or foreseen. Seniors who arc determinedly last of the old order, or hopefully the leaders of the new way, or maybe both. Hear the Lion roar! 42 1 UmUt . Anita AT. o . - Todd. � � r. C. KxUi. 1 Iko� . W RrtM.

Benny and Hare hosted all the bull's eye parties: Benny was rejuvenated with a new affability (coincidental with his new office), while Ronny was as sheepish and as lovable as ever. Jackson with philosophical res- ignation, maintained the box-watching tradition, passively accepting the greatness thrust on Claggett in swimming. Collins, as head football coach, drove a hitherto unequalcd squad to a new romp over the Beta's squad. They'll always remember Pool after the football season, wincing upon hearing the song Xairc. Down on the first floor. Spaniel McClIl and Abes rallied their MG's, while Abes competed with the shedding of his reindeer skin. Banks and Ruff continued another idyllic year with their Scandinavian beauties, much to the agony of the pledges. Smith, goading on Chentow's social consciousness, was out- raged by calls from Erics. Erie von Sell- weppe and Sodomstrom (sic) finally sub- mitted to the A.D. image. Watkins followed closely other outstanding freshman swimmers, living up to the A.D. ideal of studied sophistication. Only with the arrival of the caricaturist did they all realize the iUustrable, all-too-human qualities of Our Gang.’ Rising from its ashes, gathering them together and throwing them in the faces of the Big Ten, the Sacred Owl was to all appearances rejuvenated, larger and stronger (by eleven novices) than ever, and the subterraneans trembled as Psl U. grew, sensing the threat of repossession and knowing well the impossibility of peaceful co- existence. Despite outward appearances of general camaraderie and brotherly love, feeling ran high and dissenters were few. Ix.-d by a cagey conservative trained in a better school of not so long ago, our active minority struggled against the forces of evil, but their voices were drowned out by the adenoidal blcatings of the masses, and the Obstreperous Five, Pied Pipers with electric guitars, finally made it Into Campbell-Meeker, charming vermin from the other parts of Hamlin. Faces old and new included an exile from The Old Days, hoping that his career as a hand ball had been forgotten. Zanders, winner, hands down and glasses up, of the Courtly Lover of the Year award; Schulz, still crafty, always laughing(and why not?); a surfer-turned- artist whose complexes phased none; Cocks, grumbling, remembering dte days of Bolingbrokc; the novice vaudeville team wdiosc repertory extended from embarrassment to boredom. Llms, In love again, at last; It peti! R.B., who proved Big Brother wasn’t always watching; Big Brother, who discovered that someone still was; Boynton, threat- ening violcncc-as soon as the library closes; all under the watchful eye of our beloved, imperturbable Brother Jim, immaculate in dinner Jacket. So went the year, and Schulz was the one who summed it up best: 'Ain’t no big thing. Events of Beta Alpha's eighty-eighth year on the little knoll in Knox County were at once typical and unique. The old problems were still there, as were the old joys, but a new spirit seemed to permeate the handling of both. This was true not only of the first semester administration headed by IFC President Joel Kcllman. but was as well true of the succeeding government under Paul Zuydhock. To define the new attitude is not easy. Certainly a new gung-ho- ness was part of the attitude, but a new appreciation of the necessity of social life was present as well. Evidence of the new fraternity spirit could be found in a larger emphasis on fraternity singing, and pledge instruction, and in an academic program for pledges with some organization and teeth in it. There was also a continuation of the harshening of altitude toward destructive acts that had taken place in the last few years. The new awareness of social life was symbolized for many by the emergence of the treasurer, for three years a bastion of con- servatism and gentllle.se, as a leader of the party set. Both the first and second floors formed off-weekend party societies, specializing in Hairy Buffaloes, and the basement provided us a memorable Svnccrus Caller. Any explication of the revival of South Ironard Hall as a famous party center would Ik incomplete, even incorrect, if it did not reemphasize that the party spirit was revived sans purpose of pure destruction and oh-what-the-hell. Perhaps respon- sibility had begun to penetrate the Ohio woods. There are several possible reasons for the shift in Beta attitude. The character of the membership had changed somewhat by virtue of graduation and attrition. Beta Alpha was still a jock house, but with the most valuable player of the soccer team, the high scorer on the lacrosse team, and the captain of the football team in honors, there was an awareness that athleticism Is not necessarily anti- Intcllcctualism. Further, the Beta President of the Student Council, the Beta President of the IFC, the two Beta members of the Campus Senate—all these people were in direct contact with the administration and Its problems, and their respectful awareness of these problems communicated itself in some degree to the fraternity. Perhaps, too, there was a sour-grapes aspect of this turn to responsibility: Beta Alpha no longer dominated the varsity and intramural scene. For instance, the intramural football team lost its first game in four years. One more possible cause of the new atmosphere was the smaller size ofthc year's fraternity, which naturallyled to the question- ing of past practices. What did this new atmosphere augur for Beta Alpha's future? First, we may see a more intellectual Beta in the future. Second, we shall almost undoubtedly sec a continuation of the athletic ori- entation of past Betas. Third, we shall quite possibly sec a social pattern in which Individual responsibility allows more activities. And fourth, if we do sec Betas formed In the above mold, we shall certainly sec them maintaining the same leadership as a fraternity and as individuals that has always characterized them. Regret� over the loss of the noble 'solid core’ gave way to new hope as Delta Tau Delta pledged a 'stimulating pledge class of 18. The returning European schooled libertines graced Middle Ixronard Malls, the now international folk singer strummed an even finer tunc, the koala was caged, and George boasted of having outdone the 'marine every step of the way. Finishing their last football season, the ‘senior society resumed their activities, complemented by the Go H’ society, formed of Delt underclassmen. Their newly learned vocabulary: ’As you were’ and ’RICH T echoed through the narrow halls. Willie served as a sit-in for our ’absolute’ Kerr, while Woodle and ’the big I’ lamanted that they couldn't have been away for as many weekends for the same reason. The pending marriage of Ed Tooling and l.ittlc Elgin spurred the spurned of 317 to similar intent. Organization being one of the virtues of their fraternity, new administrative capacities were created: Sec. of Health, Education and Welfare, Burke; Public Relations, ’Beer Bottle’ Sant, Sec. of Defense, 'quick-draw Simply ; Sec. of War, ’Hair-Trigger’Wentworth; Adviser on Golorado Relations, Mr. l.ittlc; Sec. of the Interior, McElroy; Foreign Relations, Thomas, Tide,’and Kerr; International Cultural Exchange Head, Steve Newcomer; Plebeian Pledge Program, White and Visscr; Censorship Advisors of FCC, Reid, Newcomb, and Hilton; Civil Rights, Way; Medicare Board, Dave Schmid; Economic Advisor, Bones’; Redcoat Dell Czars of the Chow House, Schmid and Harrison; and Head of the American Biological Survey, Mike Phillips.

Take which you please—you can never have both, Hast Division simply overflowed with truth day and night. There was very little repose in the year 1963.

L. visits to Western, the multi-digital picking of an aspiring Hob Dylan, the midnight honky-tonk from Scwlcklcy. trips to Newark, 16 pledges, the usual share of ditched dates and casually acquired ones, and the vocifer- ous visits from seniors who strayed off campus, Sigma Pi had truth coming out its ears. The crowning destruction of natural peace and order was the decision of Camper and Black to look at the books once again instead of Collegian copy and skin mags, but the tradition of the over- burdened literati was carried on quite admirably by the new editor and megalomaniac Long, who was thwarted in his strivings lor grandeur only by the more Intense megalomania ol Ills stall and o! his associate editor, Yogelcr. Moffat became a confirmed and rather successful member of the Leonard Hall floating Canasta society and, on the side, helped flower-boy Schrim make a profit from pansies. Adair was made a trustee of the Sunset Club. King, along with his side-kick Barb, lost a game of chicken to two old ladies, while Scheids chased the girls and got fat. Bondo ruled with an iron fist while remaining celibate in his fourth-floor hermitage. IiCventon chased Queens from Pittsburgh but could not always keep them after the catch, and Carr outdid K.B. Browning with his voluminous love letters. Jarrett actually quit puffing Marlboros for basketball, while Jake watched in dismay, blowing smoke rings at his roommate's gasping face. Royalty decided to shave this year, and Hackworth got pinned. Levitt and Wasserman pro- jected a fine off-campus image by flaunting their Catalina and Sting Kay; Kooistra misguided the freshmen unfortunate enough to be in his wing. Amiable and Carnes spent their spare time making bars and whales. Burch, having built a beautiful body (he used to be built lousy), made it smell nice with Canoe. Hamilton and Rogge fought hard for the preservation of an intellectual elite within the ranks. Rcinicker carried on ad- mirably his running battle with lea legumes directed to the west, and Kirk wrestled with brothers and girls, as well as with other wrestlers. East Division was so full of truth In 1963 that the fraternity cumulative average could have dropped an entire point. Brothers of Theta began the year with renewed confidence. Coining from last position on the Mill scholastically, the ‘Skulls claimed fourth place. Instrumental In this upward movement was Theta's sophomore class, finishing their freshman year with the highest pledge-class average on the Mill. I'hl Kappa Sigma continued to provide leaders for various campus activities: T I-aBaugh, Co-Captain of the Ix rd's Swimming Team, led the Phi Kap contingent which once again provided the nucleus of the swimming team. Gullion moved out in the backstroke, while T and Big John Miller, the Wonder Boy, shared the honors In breaststroke. Kelly and Lara, the ‘boys in blue, added military spirit to activities around North Manna. Pledges Robinson, Wallace and Spohr joined the grease paint set, while the rest of the class got their mortarboards early by helping to build a new fraternity barbecue on the patio. The Skulls, by tradition a singing fraternity, had members in all the campus choral groups: ‘Lefty Steyaart and Tom Clarke added their golden tones to the Chapel Choir, while Casper and Gazlay sang in the Kenyon Singers. Retiring the Interfraternity Singing Cup In the spring of 1963, the chapter continued the Middle Path singdowns on Tuesday nights and worked to retain the singing in Commons on Sunday. A look at some Phi Kap personalities showed that diversity was again the key- word at Theta: Atkinson moved ofT campus this year leaving a void filled only by Ulrich the I-esser. Billy 'the Kid’ finished the season early, bagging seven squirrels and a D-Phi. While Reynolds and Xakov continued to grind on the books, Brogan golfed-ofP all spring. Graduating senior Kip Barksdale passed along his many business enterprises to up-and-coming capitalists. John Park proved a dedicated and active member of his pledge class, while his wife Suzy was a charming addition to the fraternity. With the budding leaves of spring, the grind of finals, and the frenzy of graduation. Theta bid good-bye to its departing seniors and closed the annals on another year. 54 1964 saw the rise of a group of aspiring young Hng the hallowed halls of Delta Phi. The old band of healthy cynics had all departed. Thespians am on the hal halls of Delta Phi. and Delta Phi had taken on a more worldly, or perhaps lunar, aspect. The night of the big show has arrived. The great one-eyed deus ex machina flickered from the corner of the lounge. The distinguished audience contained such note-worthies as Middle Hanna's bearded sage, attendet! by his boy-wonder. Several gassed old ladies had come down for the performance, as well as 14 glassy-eyed freshmen who sat down in the front row. An urgent expectancy held the audience in their scats; all seemed not to know what the evening would present, but most agreed that it would be a miracle if it were a morality play. Then, with the screaming of VWs, the cast of characters arrived with shouts of 'Show Timer The first act began with the appearance of several visceral viscounts attended by a miscreant monte- bank. Some critics ran from the room yelling 'immoral, obscene T as they hustled the ladies into their pads. The MC, who doubled as the heavy, was replaced by some hip kid as a new straight man—and the show went on. The remaining acts included a bio major trying to balance some books, and an MH Jock looking for Ambrosia. But, by this time, the drama had turned Into a farce. The entire cast headed off into the sunset, while others stum bled hack to more scholastic endeavors. Overall, these histrionics were viewed with mixed emotions, some fearing that this action on the boards would put the fraternity on the rocks. 57 Asked to write a piece for public consumption, the archetypal Archon looked long and hard at his beloved fraternity, and noticed an evolutionary trend. 'What Is our world coming to? Those young fellows have ab- solutely no respect for tradition. They simply have no feeling for those elements which underlie and make possible change In (he world. Why do they persist in wearing gaudy tics, for example? (There never used to l e a zoo in this building.) And this clowning in the fraternity picture. The only sort of political action you see among them is that they play those old Hitler records (now isn't that pa- thetic). 1 tell you, it’s existentialism that's swept over South Hanna: there's no commitment to traditional values, only a self-defeating fatalism. Why, not one underclassman (but all the seniors) was at the first Kenyon Symposium. And Dance Weekend—it could have been any lounge anywhere. What do they talk about now? It's the baseball team, (he basketball team, and on week-nights they play cards in the lounge, when they're not tossing pillows. They read Motor Trend and Playboy, not Montaigne or l’lato. The only phi- losopher one sees Is Nietzsche the pup, who isn't even house-broken. 'Well, at least not all of the old guard has left yet—although what remains Is sometimes a battered remnant. Perhaps we may yet in- culcate in the young some values, an understanding of the dynamics of existence. If they can lx- taught the rules of the education-game and the game of life, they will live well, for they arc Archons. But at least an old-timer can be proud of his class. It controls the film and graphic arts, the radio station, social life, the Kenyon Singers, the College Shop, cards, and billiards. Supported by grants and fellowships, they arc preparing for careers in the fine arts and the humanities, in medicine and law, even in science. And all have learned from Kenyon the maxim, ‘The Liberal Arts Kducation is a nice education. 'IxKiking to the future, wc hud envisioned a select society of in- dividuals. Of course, it Is possible that our vision was prompted by a pledge class exclusive beyond our fondest dreams. But then, on one wild evening, the membership waited in ambush on Middle Path, and quadrupled the size of our entering class. Yes. the place has a new look. No longer a smirk on those young faces; there’s a smile there now. It's no longer fashionable to stir the masses to action; live and let live, they say. Alas, I'm afraid we've seen the last of the social misfits who lit the spark that made South Hanna flame. I remember our talk with our brother Archon who made good. His Faustian Weltanschauung focussed sharply on the ol' frat, he told of the invasion of the 'nice guy' Into the formerly unbcfouled halls of South Hanna. Have the evils of our conformist society finally proved too strong even for this last bastion of inner direction? Brothers of the star, revert! The philosophical tradition of our found- ing fathers awaits your acceptance. In September, yes, the original chapter of Alpha Lambda Omega made its triumphant return to the box (television). Short-lived 'twas their joy, how- ever. Hearing the sad but true tabulation of scho- lastic standings, they trooped back to the lounge, Sware renewed esthetic endeavours, and switched from Bugs Bunny to East Side West Side. Sonic of the members took up lighter intellectual tasks. Lodlsh struggled with ‘Parliamentary Pro- cedure Can Be Fun or Scream Along With Me. Gold produced his Life of the indigent hitchikcr between Chicago and Gambler. Bourne became a statistic himself, buying a second car. Humphreys turned tail and tried isolationism off campus. Honbo and Case worried over suiTcring-thru-doubt and struggling-for-awarcness, with Wees questioning the worth in either. Kronenberg commented highly on disappearing warts and pimples, and roommate Paul practiced elocution, repeating ahbaahba . Me- Swiney and Madorsky tested effects of gold dust on the opposite sex, but DeLorcnzo just tested the opposite sex. Hill smiled. Hoorn 106 became an experiment on Living with Electricity ; room 205 experimented with existing. Wcssel contemplated Houser, illuminating the moon. Schwartz contemplated opening his mouth; Bedell contemplated. Cortclll explored Cincinnati and his Italian heritage as Grand Cocklail-Concoctcr Campbell mumbled of the intoxicating effect of that devil- water Coke. Pine tried to better racial relations between colleges, and Foote, after enticing 12 pledges into the fraternal funhousc, bettered homogeneity amongst the brothers. Ciarraputo?

Joe Chccsey Moore returned to preside from his third floor suite, but his usually unpcrturbablccountenanccshowed signs of anguish as he discovered that four of his compatriots had gone prematurely into the wide world. Undaunted, Gooch took up his role as Treasure?, And Howe played the role of elder statesman, strumminghisguitar and playing Joan Baez records all the while. Kentucky Colonel Glogower, assisted by F. Burton Dibble, Jr., led the group through six wild October parties. 'Bladder' Kaltcnbach lost his reputation as chief-balloon-tosser-and- Pccp-baiter, choosing this year to maintain the dignified position of Secretary and student (occasionally taking time out to win a few hands of poker across the hall, always cleaning out Wclty and Smith). Though the Fink chose to slum it with the sophomores on the north side of the hall, the rest of the Juniors, led by Mike Underwood of College Bowl fame, Glogs, the Blads— and Wachlsm with Jeff Arnold and Sam Orr down on the first floor—held down the south side of Old Kenyon. The sophomores, unencumbered by Kenyon lethargy, put together a football squad which cop|K-d fourth place in the intramurals. Zerbi hit Welly and Smith for the TD's, while 'Bwuse' Blidncr preferred the indoor sport, hopping on Fink's cycle for frequent trips to Granville. Bellinger returned, and seven neophytes entered the fold. It was a usual year, with MKA still remaining 'primarily a social organization. ACTIVITIES ■ CAMPUS GOVERNMENT In May, 1963, the institution of the Campus Government introduced to Kenyon a new way of handling non- academic affairs, and a chief instrument of that government is the Campus Senate. The Senate is described in the Constitution as 'the principal legislative body of the Campus Government con- cerning extra-curricular matters. Its mem tiers represent the undergrad- uates. the teaching faculty, and the officers of the College, some of them being elected and some appointed. During this first year of its ex- istence, the Senate had a constantly crowded agenda; almost without ex- ception. it met every Wednesday after- noon to deal with the questions pre- sented to it. Can Commencement be made a better occasion? What are some principal causes of attrition of the student body and can something be done about them? How can we improve the social life of the College? What about care and maintenance of dormitories? Undergraduates visited the Senate to lobby or to offer In- formation; officers of administration came by invitation to help them under- stand problems and procedures. If the value of the Senate Is mea- sured only by the amount of legis- lation it has produced, then it is a nearly worthless body. But if the Senate is valued as a forum in which every kind of Interest and almost every shade of opinion finds expression, then it must be highly esteemed. It promises to bring about better mutualunderstandingand more harmonious cooperation among all the elements of the College than have been enjoyed for some time. Mi D� UbJ. Wo IV.� Mood� .

'to formulate and express officially student's views concerning afTairs of the College; Christopher Scott presided over a Council that began the year by declining membership in the National Student Association and creatinganew dining hall committee to formally communicate students' opinion to their food service. Other questions were not settled so ex- pediently: the Dean's suspension of freshman hazing, the location and design of the new upperclass dormitory, and unequal representation in Council were problems that prompted long and heated discussion at its meetings. The solution of the latter two exemplify Council's responsibility ’to initiate specific proposals which will promote the welfare of the College, its student body, and its organizations. Under Council were several groups whose work was also significant: the most important of these was the Interfraternity Committee, which served as the clearest collective voice of fraternity opinion on campus. As an integral part of Kenyon's Campus Govern- ment, Student Council was a forum for student opinion, a link in the community's vital communication, and a positive force for the improvement of life on the Hill. • rook� .

Providing a source of eager workers, the Society was instrumental in impressing freshmen on Kenyon Day, guiding lost alumni during the 1963 Commencement, initiating thefreshmento the ways of Kenyon during Orientation, preparingan Invaluable Student Handbook, and giving the orphans a Merry Christmas with its always-rewarding party for the Knox County Children's Home. Dtbmu Smut, Nt Ctelk. S .VMftfertrf Vo «.� 1964 proved to be a mildly revolutionary year for the Kenyon Debate Team: the per- ennially nagging problems of budget and trans- portation were somewhat eased, and the fresh- man class miraculously produced several well qualified candidates for varsity positions.These factors combined to produce a memorable fall season highlighted by a good standing at Chicago in October and a tournament win in Charleston, West Virginia, in November. A full calendar of winter and spring tournaments raised hopes that the new generation of de- baters might at last begin to bring Kenyon success commensurate with the sums lavished on Its team. DEBATE SOCIETY KENYON CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP Kmon CJtnmn .. Mr Hrab rr. M C« na. C bl . IW«r. lou. Cottar ha AW Mi W Can. Dkkna Kenyon Christian Fellowship organized and carried out three series of lectures tills year. The Fall Series consisted of two lectures given by the College Chaplain, the Rev. Richard Hettlingcr, on 'Sex and the Single Student; attended by record crowds; the lecture dealt with some religious mis- conceptions about sex, with the Kinsey reports, and with the theories contained in the paperback book section's sex manuals. Professors Raymond English and Franklin Miller spoke at the Winter Series on the subject of 'Nuclear Power and Responsibility, both stating their own views and discussing those of the other speaker. Their talks were followed by that of Dean John Bennett, of the Union Theological Seminary, New York, who dealt with a primarily Christian ap- proach to the arms problem. Karly in February, Leslie Paul arrived at Kenyon as a guest of the College for the second semester. Mr. Paul, originator of the term 'Angry Young Man, prominent layman, and broadcaster in his native England, delivered the Spring Series, dealing with the problem of the young intellectual in today's world. In addition, Professor Denis Baly gave an in- formal lecture in December on The Social Signi- ficance of the Detective Story,’ and study groups met throughout the year to discuss questions of Biblical significance. 69 PREMEDICAL CLUB Kenyon's Prcmcdlcal Club continued Its activities as in previous years. In November the club sponsored a lecturer from the University of Cincinnati, and other speakers appeared throughout the year to answer questions about various schools and fields of interest. Newsletters were planned by the vigorous new ad- ministration and hopes were high for expanding the club's scope. A lack of membership, however, was still the largest deterrent to increased activity.

Vernon Kiwanis Club, Circle K opened several new avenues to civic aid: the club assisted the admissions office, the alumni ofTlcc, and the bloodmobilc program; and members also spent two hours a week with the patients of the Knox County State Hospital.

Seeing the new interest, many of the old guard members began coming to meetings again, and Professor Robert Baker had to be enlisted to share the Job of advisor with Professor F.dward Har- vey. By October the club had begun work on several projects: the principal one was the importation to Kenyon of several important guest speakers. On the Hill, Dr. Baker drew a full house with his lecture on 'Why 1 am a Democrat,’ articles began appearing in the Collegian, and a radio show was planned. One acute problem which the club en- countered was Its lack of an articulate political rival on campus. It was thus im- possible to have intramural debates or to conduct editorial battles In print. KENYON YOUNG DEMOCRATS KENYON YOUNG REPUBLICANS 71 REVEILLE 64 Led by John Schofield, whose mollo might well have been semper tyrannis, the staff of REVEILLE 64 has strived to pro- duce the definitive college yearbook and to capture with trad- itional dignity that hidden spirit which is Kenyon. Its accom- plishment was the product of a few overworked men: Bergh, Goldsmith. Procter, and Webster displayed imagination and taste in their respective sections; Ferguson managed the funds which Hornstein brought in from advertisers. A freshman naively offered his camera and a bit of his lime, and ended up as Staff Photographer and Assistant to the Kditor. His other boss was Peter Jessup, who as Photography Kditor slaved over camera and enlarger to grind out the book's three-hundred-or-so essential pictures. It was not their attempt to make it look significantly different from other yearbooks, nor to scream ‘bigger and better. Numerous internal changes made this annual morccomprehcnslblc while keeping the same external framework and appearance: only nice clean quiet pages, ninety-six of them charting the course of Kenyon's history from Philander Chase to date. In all, the staff tried to provide a good likeness of the College, and one which would make sense when, years later, its readers look back to the lll In REVEILLE 64. 72 TUKr , mC tbtu J It Klik. Hiwi,Clir. Mulo� . Vogdrf. Loo (B.ir The Kenyon Collegian experienced a renaissance this year. Ending the tradition of flambuoyance and exaggera- tion, the editors spoke softly (In public) and carried no sticks. They sought to fulfill their duties as newspaper men: dispensing news, covering events and presenting features. The strident and hyperbolic editorials were eli- minated, and in their place the paper strove to promote without provoking. THE KENYON COLLEGIAN HIKA Iu 1964. The Kenyon Review celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary and John Crowe Ransom'sseventy-flfth birthday; The Kenyon Collegian published a special supplement honor- ing both the Review and Mr. Ransom;and Reveille, Kenyon's oldest publication, included all three in a special book length pictorial history of the College. Hika was lucky to publish an issue. Faced with the difficulty of extracting imaginative and creative literature from the Kenyon student body, editor Webster had to concentrate on his magazine's problems rather than praise for other's accomplishments. The result of his and the other editors' efforts was not yet a superlative magazine, but a vastly improved one. The ironic juxta- position on campus of the best literary journal in the country and one of the worst undergraduate magazines in the world was partially eliminated by a renovation of Hika. If it hadn't time to lavish praise on itself or others, it had at least begun to merit serious consideration. Hika started to grow up. HiU «lUn. U .iu. Ina. r� 4nv .

Although hampered at first by the College's nec- essarily strict firearms restrictions, the club finally managed permission, and under the practiced eye of Campus Security Officer Cass improved their sharpshooting in the hanger under NRA safe prac- tices for a fifty-foot range. PISTOL CLUB ARNOLD AIR SOCIETY Arnold Air Society is an honorary service organization of AFROTC cadets. Its primary pro- ject this year was the sponsorship of a swimming program for the handicapped children of the Mount Vernon area; the children's weekly visits to Shaeficr Pool proved ex- tremely therapeutic and entertain- ing. The Red Cross Blood Drive found willingassistantsanddonors in its ranks. As usual, the Society sponsored Its ever popular annual Military Ball at Winter Week End. a much needed relief for January doldrums. In conjunction with the Air Force and the Civil Air Patrol, it worked to promote the missions of AFROTC and USAF. AntUAf S xM UftMgS- M Voj. U,u«uo«. R«.rv. J 0 H«k •onk. Ska., K« . Ure. T CUrk� .

B«d« Beginning with a small group of twenty men in 1962, Professor Frank I .end rim increased the membership of the Chapel Choir to Its 1964 complement of sixty. Disproving the axiom that quality varies Inversely with quantity, Lend rim molded his unwieldy group Into a tightly-knit and highly- polished choir. Not only did their voices contribute signifi- cantly to the College's worship sen-ices, but also took singing tours to St. Stephen's in Columbus and Trinity Cathedral in Cleveland. On campus, Vivaldi's Gloria and Niozart's Missa Brevis in FMajor were performed for the Advent and Lenten concerts; Ford Tucker and Gerry Clarke provided strong baritone and tenor solos. In 1964, the choir became firmly established as a positive contribution to spiritual life at Kenyon. 76 KENYON SINGERS Under the direction of Frank T. Lend rim, the Kenyon Singers not only increased its membership to nearly sixty but also presented a series of con- certs which more than doubled the number of per- formances of past years. In addition to the trad- itional exchange weekend concerts with the Western College Choir and annual participation in the Advent and lenten concerts on campus, the Singers gave concerts in the Knox County area and a January concert at Lake Erie College. The high- light of the year was its four day concert tour during spring vacation: on tour the glee club per- formed for high school and social organizations in the Mansfield, Detroit, and Cleveland areas. The Singers also became a member of the Inter- collegiate Musical Council, an organization of male choruses and glee clubs whose main purpose is to promote and inspire leadership in academic circles in the field of male singing, and to develop concern for high standards of music repertoire and performance. 77 Kenyon's Dramatic Club is not an hon- orary organization; Instead it draws its membership from only the most active workers in the theater: those who have proved themselves by long hours of work. It was organized to produce plays for Ken- yon audiences and this year's three plays were: Brecht's Galileo, Ibsen's Rosmer- sholm, and Farquhar's Beaux' Stralegem. Two other projects undertaken by the club were the sponsorship of the seventh Inter- division Play Contest and an intercollegiate play festival. Dmm� CM W«Wr. Uc� t. C n. Bto... rufco. WflM. r Mu� .

After extending their losing streak to eleven games over a period of two years, the Loras rebounded with decisive upset victories over Ml. Union and Hiram. Riding on a series winning streak of 13, Ml. Union was handed a sound set-back, 34- 22, by a varied attack of power running and pin-point passing. With the 'taste of victory' still present, the Lords took the measure of Hiram in the'Toilet Bowl in a humiliat- ing 52-30 rout. The closing of the season ended the collegiate careers of six seniors. At quarterback, Mike Wood was one of the top twenty passers in the nation by NCAA small college ratings. He was All-Conference second team and established seventeen school records in his four years. Twine received Honorable Mention All-Conference honors as fullback, and was also one of the leading punters in the league. Barrv JenU, Jeff Way, Huble Hicks, and Terry Murbach were ail defensive stand- outs for the Lords. Co-captains Wood and Jentz were in- spirational leaders, keeping the team fired-up all season. Although next year's squad will miss the services of these senior standouts, the return of leading pass receivers Bill Sweeney, John Rutter, and Ken Klug (Honorable-Mention All-Conference); backs Charles Williams, and Doug Morse; and linemen Bill Brown, Aaron Burke, Myron Harrison, Jim Williams and Paul Zuydhoek will compose the nucleus of the 1964 Kenyon Lords football team. 82 FOOTBALL if C Ilum .

KMlB4M.lt lita SOCCER Three-seven records arc not transccndcntly good ones: but, since in the pantheon of athletics there must be a niche dedicated to sheer dogged cfTort, the 1963 Kenyon soccer season was in no way disgraceful, and in many ways suc- cessful. The returning soccermen were faced with a tough schedule filled with vengeance-hungry rivals, and Coach Hob Harrison and Co-captains Dave Kearney and Bob Dovitz worked hard to whip the team into shape. The season began under the lights at Fenn, with a delirious victory in the Harrison style— rockhard defense and scrambling offense which took advantage of the breaks to a 3-0 score. But then came the long fall: losses to Wilmington and Akron, Ohio State's heartbreaking win at Homecoming, followed by Ohio U and Obcrlin victories riddled the Lords. Then came the change: Coach Harrison knelt on the edge of the field before the team and laid it on the line—too little spirit, loo little self-confidence. Chastened, the Lord first team sat on the bench while the'bandits'started the game against Wooster, Jeff Boynton providing both goals for a 2-0 win, Hiram followed, and again the «audits'started: with Senior Perry Lentz and Junior John Cuff taking a goal apiece to pace a 4-1 win. Wesleyan, the best team in the conference was next. Bark Koemcr gave the Lords an early 1-0 lead, and superb defensive work by seniors Kcllman and Brooks, freshman Bob Patrick and goalie Dave Kearney shut out the Bishops for three long quarters until Wesleyan punched across three scores to take a nerve-wringing game. The Lords hosted Denison at home and came closer than ever to felling the Big Red but typical Kenyon luck’ prevailed and a lluke Denison goal was the only tally of the afternoon. But it was the way to go out; the seniors in the persons of Joel Kcllman. Second team A11-Conference and MVP of the year, Dave Kearney, All-Conference Goalie, Harris, Rocmcr, Brooks, and Korfmann were superb—boys for the most part with no prior soccer experience. And promise for the future was evident with fine performances from Juniors like Marty Ccasar, Sophomores like JclT Boynton, Mike Dyslan, and Lee Bowman; Freshmen like Craig Jackson and Jerry Miller With leadership in the hands of the ubiquitous Dovltz and reliable Bill Lcrchcn, the future looked bright.

Wesleyan 86 Handicapped by the loss of Dave Schmid, co-captain and last year's MVP, and a lack of rebounding power, the Lord roundballers finished twelfth in the conference. The only game the Lords played at full strength was against Wooster, sole conqueror of Wittenberg and Wesleyan. With Dave Schmid and John Lynn back in the line-up, the Inspired cagers trampled Wooster 79-58, then, after a re-in- jury to Schmid, managed only one win the remainder of the season. Randy Livingston, named this year's MVP, captained the team, and led in rebounds, free throws shot and made, and field goal percentage. He was a second team All-Conference selection. Junior Ken Klug and Sophomore Brian Farnev led the scorers on the team. Next year the Lords will again lack height, but, despite the loss of graduating Dave Schmid, Randy Livingston, and A1 Pettibone, may be a surprise to the OAC.

Conference Champion� For the eleventh consecutive year, the Kenyon tankers won the Ohio Conference swimming championship. The outlook for retaining the top slot looked bleak when the luster of the usual winning seasons was tarnished by the first loss in eleven years of a conference dual meet and the OC Relays. Nevertheless, the Lords rallied in true championship form to maintain their strangle hold on the Ohio Conference Crown. The careers of five senior swimmers ended with the thrill of victory. Perry Kelly saw his final butterfly event. Nick Harris left the diving board for the last time. Dave Cullion, Conference Champion in the backstroke, and a member of the victorious Medley Relay, provided his last first place for the I.ords. Co-captain Mike Clagget, this year’s OC champion in the 500 yard freestyle, as well as anchor man of the championship Medley Relay team, provided many of the much needed points as well as suspense and excitement in his ‘come from behind victories throughout the dual meet season. Co-captain Tom LaBaugh, a Conference champion of the past two years, was the team 'work horse.’ While Jockeying between the Individual Medley, Freestyle, Butter- fly and Breastroke events, T also generated spirit and enthusiasm which helped pave the road to victory. The performances of those who will form the nucleus of the 1965 Lord tankers. Juniors Jim Young and John Miller, Sophomores Ed Telling and Charlie Evans, and Freshmen Tim Holder, Ted Arnold, and Dean Powell, give promise that it may be twelve. The Mermen’s success must be credited in great part to the accurate and respected tutoring of Tom Edwards, ’the finest coach to be found anywhere 89 Kenyon 21 Athland 13 13 Adrian 18 3 Demvon 29 15 Obtrito 11 17 Oltrrbrln 15 13 Muiklngum 19 14 Wittenberg 18 14 0.

The five and seven record was good, but the real success goes deeper. In only three matches could Kenyon have been considered as out of the running. The first half of the season was filled with disappointment as the team lost five of seven matches. With the late arrival of Senior Terry M urbach at heavyweight, the tables were turned and Kenyon won three of Its last five, the margin of difference being the heavyweight match. Terry's dual match record was 4-0-1. Outstanding performances were again turned in by the team's two veteran Juniors, Captain Kick Wortman (157) and Dick Ray (167), both ended with identical 10-3 records. Sophomore Norm Hartzel finished the season with a 6-6 record. Bill Judson became this year's winningest sophomore with a 7-5 mark. Freshman Jerry Hafer (137) closed with a 4-6 record. Fellow freshmen Nate Levin, Mike Ulrcy, and Jim Rattray, men with no previous wrestling ex- perience. helped fill vacant weight classes on the team. The second senior member of the team, Eric Summerville, finished his four years of wrestling at Kenyon by winning his last two matches. Though the season ended on a sour note with Kenyon failing to place In the Conference Championship, the loss of only two seniors coupled with the valuable experience gained by returning under classmen means that the team can look forward to a winning season next year and a shot at the Conference title. It was a balanced well-conditioned tennis team that began the 1964 season with more than a slight chance of winning the conference championship. Senior George Callaghan, capt- ain and I963's most valuable player, sought to improve on last year's second place effort at first singles. Junior Dave Thomas retained his second singles position, combined with Calaghan to form the same doubles team which took runner- up laurels in 1963's Ohio Conference Championships, and appeared to be much improved. A casual freshman, Bill Konrad, batted with sophomore Dick Cantinc for the third singles spot and then teamed with him in doubles. Senior ’push-shot artist Dick Schcidcnhclm and Improved sophomore Dusty Wees rounded out thestarting line-up. A good turnout of freshmen—Leigh Allen, Dave Brad- ford, Ted Carlson, and Larry Schmidlapp—provided enough depth to allow Kenyon the chance of matching or bettering such perennial powers as Denison, Wittenberg, and Ohio Wesleyan.

The main problems facing Coach Falkcn- stlne at the beginning of the season were how to bolster the pitching staff and beef-up the batting order. Looking to Junior John Lynn for the ’big man, he tried to teach him to throw a curve as well as he docs a quip. Hours with Iron Mike improved the whole squad's batting ability. Aside from Lynn, the rest of the pitching staff was composed of Senior Hank Pool, Sophomores Mike Dyslln, Bob Sch- wartz, and knuckle-bailer John Rutter, and Freshman Howard Levy. Taking advantage of their slugging power. Pool and Rutter doubled as outfielders. 92 BASEBALL The infield was the most solid part of the team. Dave Carter competed with Paul Crawley for the third-base Job, with Crawley occasionally filling in in the outfield. Ken Klug moved from second to short to make room for Bill Diehl, last year's most promising freshman, at the keystone spot. Smooth fielding Senior Dave Kearney anchored the right side of the infield. Two experienced catchers, Alex McNamara and Jim Kaplan alternated calling signals be- hind the plate. Captain Hubert Hicks, a fixture in center field since his freshman year, provided most of the punch of the Lord's attack The rest of the usually fluid outfield was composed of Gene Little and Lou Martone. 93 An only slightly embellished nucleus of the indoor track team moved outdoors following Spring Vacation, hopeful that they might fare better on the cinders under the auspicious Cambier sun. Plagued by the absence at several meets of one or more of the eight primary scorers, the boys emerged victorious from only one of five Indoor meets. Outdoors the thinclads had more depth and picked up some of the seconds and thirds they missed during (he winter. Senior co-captain Steve Wallis in the shotput and junior co- captain Boh Bales In the distance events set their teammates fine examples by setting varsity records. Sophomore 440 man John Schweppc and versatile freshman Bob Patrick in the highjump also performed in record style. GOLF Expected to be one of the best in recent years, the Lord golf team relied heavily on its experience and depth in Conference competition. Returning letlcrmcn John Rensinger, George McElroy, Bob I-cgg, Bill Brogan, and Perry Hudson were hard pressed to retain their starting positions by freshmen Wade Bosley, John Davidson, Craig Jackson and Mike Wise. Coach A.J. Lave's team even hoped for an Improve- nent of last year's fourth place finish in the Conference Tournament. The loss of stalwart Seniors, Captain John Bensinger and George McElroy will definitely be felt, but the return of the rest of the Icltcrmcn and Most Valuable Player Bob Ixgg presaged an even finer season next year. G r«M« JxkMO. Btvft . Wlw. BotVy. Uve IIUMa. Lnnto , L. Rookie lacrosse coach Bill Hess brings an outstanding knowledge of the sport to Kenyon. A former All-American and national scoring champion at Penn State, Hess has played and coached in the nation'slacrossccapital, Baltimore. Co-captain Tom Bond, All-Midwest honorable mention last season, maintains the defense with veterans Chris Scott and Paul Zuydhock. In his only healthy season, two years ago, co-captain Charlie Verdcry landed an All-American berth. He and Bark Rocmcr make a formidable midfield pair, which will be joined by one of the talented corps competing for the starting position. Leading the attack on opponents' goalies is last season's conference scoring champion and winner of second team All- Conference honors, Bill Hylton. The imposing figure of Jim Williams should inspire confidence in the untried contenders for starting status. Perhaps such a strong team can make itcasy on the several Inexperienced men vying to be goalie. Coach Hess has said, ’There is no team that will step out on the field superior to us personnel-wise except one, and for Denison we'll Just have to pull out a few of the stops.’ 97 1 ------------------------------------------------ HOCKEY CLUB ! Continuing tradition, the Hockey team managed to win the usual game against Ohio Northern while dropping all the rest. However, die influx of several eager freshmen and the invaluable assistance of player-coach John Knepper re- sulted in a more serious approach to hockey with the em- phasis on improvement. This attitude was reflected In one goal losses to OSU and Western Reserve. Co-captains Ron Barret and Jim Foster led the scoring with five goals apiece, while ace freshman center Jerry Miller rammed in four. Dick Reese and Bob Sykes each managed a goal In losing efforts to avoid the ignominy of a shut- out this season. Craig Jackson, freshman goalie, set an As- sociation record with 72 saves In one game. Returning defenseman Jeff Wentworth was reinforced by Larry Schmid- lapp and Blair Ferguson. Dave Carter and Bob Vockrodt also bolstered the defense while freshmen Bill Seymour, Mike Weaber, Bob Davidson, and Phil Cerny turned in creditable performances. While skating proficiency, continues as the obstacle to better hockey, the return of all but senior Ron Barret means a bright future for the Kenyon Hockey Club. Ktny— Hottn CU Mr. K Cmj.Biini. imm.

Comprised of students in good standing who have earned at least two varsity letters in the same sport, the Klan has the resources of those young men who consider athletic as well as academic pursuits important to the building of the individual. Sup- porting and furthering the athletic activities of the College is the primary concern of the Klan: an Admissions Committee was formed through which Klan members have been able to help their local alumni associations interest the good student and athlete in Ken- yon. Klan activities also included vend- ing concessions at games, in the dorm- itories, and at the Commencement tent. 99 ET CETERA The Kenyon College Bookshop The People’s Bank Gambler Ohio J.

He knew a need existed for an Kpiscopal men's college in the central Ohio region, and he felt that he was the man to he the founder of this institution. While searching the Ohio countryside for a possible site for the new school, he rode his horse to the top of a hill which commanded an inspiring view of the Knox County countryside. Im- mediately he knew that this was the spot for his school. And so, Kenyon College was born because of the inspired—and inspiring —work of Bishop Chase. Kenyon College has continued to grow in scholastic excel- lence through the years and to graduate well-rounded young men in the true liberal arts tradition. The central Ohio area was starting to boom. .Small factories springing up in the area needed iron castings for com- ponents of equipment they were building. Two forward-looking young brothers, Charles and Klias Cooper, could see the need for these castings and built a primitive cupola to be used for melting iron. A single horse was utilized as the power for oper- ating the cupola blower. It's a long time since that horse took its first circular steps to power the original cupola blower — more than 130 years — and Cooper-Bessemer is still considered to be a leader in its industry. Cooper-Bessemer furnishes world industry with power and compression needs. Products built by Cooper-Bessemer include highly sophisticated diesel and gas engines, com- pressors, gas turbines automatic controls. wo (j pa b ScdJ tc b vc .... c dvucMfsj idUte.........

Reveille, Kenyon's oldest continuous publication, is presented annually by the Junior Class. It is financed in part by student funds administered by the College's Student Council, and generally super- vised by the Publications Board of the Kenyon College Campus Government. W.D. Llndstrom served as faculty adviser to the Editor. Assisting the Editor in assembling copy and scheduling pictures for several sections of REVEILLE 64 were: Robin Goldsmith (seniors), Barry Bergh (fraternities), Kip Proctor (activities), and Hank Web- ster (sports). A great deal of the descriptive prose for this book was drafted by representatives of the groups described. The final manu- script was prepared by Jean Danforth, Gertrude Fesler, Mary Ann Kohler, Beverly Speck, and Marjorie Henshaw. Business affairs of REVEILLE 64 were supervised by its Business Manager Blair Ferguson. Alan Hornstcin wasinchargcof advertising and Bill Schnall, circulation. Harvey Fernbach, Michael O'Brien,and Michael Sivltz carried out the other duties of a business staff. Photography Editor Peter Jessup took a majority of the pictures for the book and supervised the work of Gary Kaltcnbach, James Kropa, and Rick Huston In die dark room; he is also to be credited for bearing the inconvenience and difficulties of sharing a College room with the Editor throughout the year of production. Assisting Mr. Jessup was William R. Dye who as the staff’s most promising freshmen recruit served as Staff Photographer and Assistant to the Editor. The book was designed and edited by John E. Schofield. REVEILLE 64 has been set in Baskervfllc and Cranjon Roman and printed on 90 offset dull enamel by Consolidated Graphic Arts (Canton, Ohio) on the 25 x 38 offset Miehle Press. Bound in blind-embossed leather-grain hard covers: 650 copies. Cfy $ 1964 hy Knr v CtUIrgt Walking down Middle Path is itself an excursion into Kenyon's history: the names of buildings, streets, and houses along the way remind one of the men who founded and shaped the College. Their history is one which has not been forgotten. President Bodinc randomly collected documents concerning the College and published them in 1890 in The Kenyon Book. Professor George Franklin Smythc wrote a thorough history of the College for its centennial in 1924, and Professor Richard Salomon has published a number of articles on Bishop Chase and the early Church in Ohio. Yet the study of Kenyon’s history is not complete; there is much to be done and much to be learned. What we present here is neither a scholarly nor a complete study of the College's one hundred forty years. We have collected some fragments from Kenyon's history; we have chosen them for their historical and pictorial quality and interest. Little of what we have gathered here is new to the historian; but it is our hope that this little book may entertain the reader, encourage interest in the history of the institution, and at least partially capture the spirit of Kenyon College.

In the Puritan village of Cornish. New Hampshire. Chase, after a short period of missionary work became rector at Poughkeepsie, New Orleans, and Hartford; he is said to have conducted the first Protestant service In the city of New Orleans. This miniature was made around 1815. While a student at Dartmouth. Class of 1796, Chase came upon the Book of Common Prayer and decided to enter the Kplscop.il ministry. Bishop Hobart of New York, one of the consecrators of Chase as the first Bishop of Ohio In 1819. was in later years one of the opponents to Chase and to his founding a seminary in the West. 4 Salmon P. Chaw. Secretary of the Treasury under Lincoln and Chief Justice of the United Stales, was a student at Worthington College under his unde and guardian. Bishop Chase. My Dear Father’said he,'something has been told me this day by Mr. Morse as we were riding thro' the wild wood together, which seems to cheer, and elevate me above all my pains and troubles.’ 'What can that be, my son? ’As much as we scent forgotten while here sacrificing our sub- stance, time and health in this arduous and seemingly hopeless task of building up the Church of God without a supply of labourers; yet there are those In the world who have heard of our distresses and pity us; and they're found in Old England. ’Whence learn you this my son’ said I. ’Mr. Morse as I was saying toldmche had Just seen a number of the Philadelphia Recorder, a religious Newspaper in which was an Philander Chaw.

At the finishing of tills sentence which he had pronounced very leisurely from the difficulty of breathing and speaking, a thought struck me as if when in darkness a ray from Heaven had beamed on my eyes with an overwhelming brilliancy. Til go to England’ said I raising myself from the bed ’I'll to England for assistance. ’What can you be saying?’ said my son. ’I mean as I say’ said I, and my words will be verified. We'll have a school for the education of ministers yet and those who have already pitied our sufferings and tolls will help to found it.’ - The conception of the idea to found a school as told in Chase's rhetorical style almost a year after the event.

My plan as I sent it you, written in haste from my mind without long premeditation was as you no doubt sec very imperfect; but I still am of the opinion that one draws up in its spirit will be the best thing I can do.

In order to determine on it anil put it in a decent form present it to Lord Gambler in case of a favourable reception. Do therefore forward meyour opinion and strictures as soon as may be. The Right Rev. Bishop of New York has seen fit to publish circulate, I believe very widely, a new edition of his objections agt. my application to the British publick accompanied with additional remarks. What effect these may have more than the former publication I am not able to say.

Chatc't associairat Worthington and Cincinnati Colleges, was the first professor In Kenyon College; he Uter lead the opposition to the Hithop's auenipis to establlsli a TairUrchiat In- stitution In which the faculty would have no rights. Sketch by Bishop Chase. 1825. Sometime In May of this year (1825), Mr. Sparrow came and took our studies in charge—the same who had taught some years previously in the Worthington Academy. Mr. Sparrow proved to be a very exacting teacher, and yet it was easier to prepare, and I felt happier in preparing, for his recitations than for those of any other teacher. Mr. S. was not long the sole teacher. Soon after, a Mr. McMillan was engaged as tutor, or grammar school instructor, and left Professor Sparrow with Latin, Greek, and Mathematics. Students were now coining inconsiderable numbers. By the end of this ycar( 1825), there were twenty-five. To accommodate so many, the Bishop erected several log buildings in the spacious grounds about his residence. The farm consisted of 160 acres. It lay on both sides of the State road from Columbus to Sandusky and Cleveland. From Columbus it was eight miles. The buildings erected were four in number, one for a dining hall, about sixty by twenty-five feet, adjacent to the kitchen; another, somewhat larger, for a school-room, chapel, etc. The other two were of smaller size, and were for student's rooms. All these buildings were of unhewed logs covered with ’clap-boards’, and these were held in place by logs laid across each course. A farm house some distance off across a field was also brought Into requisition. It had been erected by Bishop Chase in 1817, and occupied by his family while his permanent dwelling was being built. At the first, when the students were few in number, say from ten to fifteen, wc took our meals at the Bishop's table, Mrs. Chase presiding. The Bishop was much away, but when at home our mealtime was greatly enlivened by his amusing stories and narration of events which his varied experience furnished. Afterwards, the long dining hall, with two tables extending nearly its whole length, was requisite for the Increased number of hungry boys. At one time it was thought that the College would find its location on Alum Creek, about twelve miles north, or a little east of north, ofColumb.us. Mrs. Betsey Reed, of Zanesville, had offered to give a tract of fine land of one thousand acres In that locality. The Bishop had the land surveyed, and seemed much pleased with it as a suitable scat for the institution. He invited all the people from adjacent villages and settlements to come with their teams and hclpclear oil a beautiful slope of the grounds overworking the river—Alum Creek. They came in large numbers, and soon made a clearing of eight or ten acres. People generally thought that there the College would have its seat. But before the Convention of 1826 met, as it did at Columbus In June of that year, this expectation had been superseded by the purchase (conditional) of eight thousand acres in Knox County, and it became a foregone conclusion that the Institution should go thither. —Extract from a memoir by Erastus Burr.

From the site upon which It Is intended to erect the buildings, elevated about two hundred feet above the surrounding land a beautiful prospect Is presented, extending several miles in ever)' di- rection. No situation in all the west, could be selected more free from the ordinary causes of disease, or affording a better security for health. It Is of easy access in every direction. The distance to Sandusky upon Lake Krlc is one hundred miles to which place a stage coach runs constantly from Mount Vernon. ... The steam boats upon Lake Krlc in their trips to and from Buffalo and Detroit touch constantly at Sandusky. In the other direction it is ninety miles to Steubenville on the Ohio and one hundred and thirty to Pittsburgh. ... The great National road ... and the canal now constructing, which is designed to connect the waters of Lake Erie with the Ohio River, will both pass within about twenty-five or thirty miles of the college. — Philadelphia Recorder 9 December 1826. I 1 The Bishop and myself proceeded alone to mount the hill. The side was thickly set with an undergrowth of oak bushes, frequently interlaced with rambling grape vines. We struggled through these tangles on our horses until about half way up the hill, when the Bishop, becoming discouraged with that mode of proceeding, pro- posed that we should take it afoot. We dismounted and hitched our horses, and then proceeded as well as we could until we emerged on the top of the hill. The heavy timber that had once covered the crown of the hill, had principally, many years before, been prostrated by a storm, or otherwise destroyed, so that, excepting a more stunted growth of brush than that we had Just come through, the plain on the top was comparatively open and free from obstruction to the view. Passing a little northward. the whole panorama of the beautiful valleys that lay at our feet, the undulating line and varying surface of the distant hills, eastward, southward, and westward, with the windings of the river, all were brought into view, and presented a scene and landscape of unsurpassed loveliness and beauty. It certainly so appeared to me then, and so it seemed to strike our good Bishop. Standing upon the trunk of an old fallen oak, and permitting his eye to pass round the horizon and take in the whole prospect, he expressed his delight and satisfaction in the brief but significant exclamation: 'Well, this will doT — 1 Utter from Henry Curtis to the editors of the Collegian 18 April 18.59. a ' i 2 Bishop Chase lo Adam Hodgson oi Liverpool. 20 January 1826.

The first College Account book, the 'log book was tutted to keep a record of the timber cot for the construction of Old Kenyon. The upper page lists live pieces of lumber cut at the College Mill from the timber listed on the second page. The Mill was an Im- portant pan of the Bishop's attempt to create a self-sustaining community. I will now describe this place. The site has been removed more than 30 miles from the spot mentioned in the Bishop's letter to Lord Kenyon. The College now stands upon a beautiful hill a few hundred yards north of Owl Creek and 6 miles cast of Mount Vernon. From the top of the college is an extensive view of many miles, but nothing is seen except the almost interminable forests of the country, which extend for hundreds of miles every side. The trees arc most majestic. The wild animals arc numerous; there are three kinds of bears, 2 of which arc very fierce; there are likewise many wolves. The rattlesnakes are innumerable. The Bishop tells me that the workmen have killed great quantities, and there are six hanging up in this room, which were killed a few days ago. Nobody is afraid of them. There arc also wild boars, deer, and wild turklcs; pigeons innumerable. No town of any kind is built here as yet, and the college will not be habitable before next summer. There arc only a few wooden buildings erected for the use of the Bishop, professors, and students. There arc both a school and a college with about 50 students. The Bishop's Palace consists of a few logs laid together and roofed with shingles. The Bishop is a most delightful man, by birth an American and native of Vermont. He has Just sold his little farm to procure money to pay the workmen. Mrs.Chase is a delightful and wonderful womanabout35ycarsold. The Bishop is scarcely 60, and without a single grey hair. The college will be a fine building 170 feet long with a tall steeple. The terms will not exceed 80 pounds at the utmost during (he whole time I remain in the college, viz until I am 21. when, the Bishop says, I may take orders. Food is so cheap that we live quite luxuriously. The students arc never employed in manual labour, indeed all is much the same as at an English college. The school boys have no bounds but range the forest at liberty. Few however venture far off, for fear of losing themselves, in which case they might be starved. Prayers are held 7 times a day, and on Sunday the young men meet and pray in the evening, and afterwards one of them preaches ex tempore for an hour on a given chapter in the Bible. They do this in turns, and they instituted the meeting of their own accord, and not thro' the suggestions of the Bishop. They have also instituted a society of arts and sciences. A fine printing-press with types has just arrived and the Bishop has been so kind asto send fora journeyman printer to teach printing to some of the senior collegians Including myself. Everything here is harmony and good order, bcnevolenccand piety. Indeed I think if happlnesscan exist in this world Ucxlsts here. The good Bishop himself tells me that he considers it an apt type of a future world. It is impossible to sec the students, both collegians and school- boys, without admiration; tho as free as the wild deer they live together in the greatest love and peace. Here is no fighting, no quarreling, no swearing. Yet they are natives of many parts of the world,—a Hindoo, a Creek, several French, a few Welsh and Irish, but for the most part American. I am the only Englishman. The Bishop (whom I love more every hour) took me round his domain. He has had 8000 acres of forest, of which lie has brought 800 into cultivation. He shewed me his sawmill, which lie has erected from his own design; also his Indian corn mill, and wheat mill, which he has erected upon Owl Creek from his own plans. He shewed me a place in the forest where the church is to be erected. It will be large enough to hold 1000 persons. A cucumber tree stands where the Communion Table will stand; a sumach tree supplies the place of the future font, and a stately sycamore holds the place of the steeple. —Henry Caswall to his father Gambier, 5 October 1828. (Caswall was the first English student in the College; he wrote several books, in later life, on the American Church.) 15 TUB STA It l.

This institution, Mr. Newell thinks to be a good one, considering its age. He got most of his information respecting It from a student who went from here, there and from President Chace, himself, who was a native of Cornish a town adjoining this. It has been founded about 5 or 6 years, has a pretty large fund; has 3 or 4 professors from Europe; all the officers are Episcopal but liberal in their sentiments; has a very good Theological library but not a very large one, as yet, on other subjects. The land for some distance around has been purchased by the proprietors of the College who will not sell it to any or allow any lo settle upon It but people of steady habits and good morals. Board, washing, lodging, lights and fuel are found for$l per week. I don't know it is with regard to clothing; books, of course, would come high. Mr. Newell designs to write soon to some one there with whom heisacqualntcd and accrtain more fully, what the situation, prospects etc. arc there. But perhaps you will think no more of [it ] but if you should, I will inform you further with respect to it as soon as I learn. As respects Dartmouth, as far as I can learn and observe, if any regard is to be had lo society or as respects society, il Is not preferable to many other colleges. It Is not very pleasantly situated or generally liked by those who have gone from K.U. Academy as regards anything else but instruction. Should my friends feel unable to assist me. I think I must go to Canaan or some other Western College, as the pro- bability of my being able to help myself thru would be greater there than here. —E.S.

I go on Monday [ 12 September I witl Mrs. Russell's land 32 miles from this. P. Chase. Suffice It to say, Ohio was my first love and Kenyon College was my first bom. The mother of mine offspring played the Harlot with traitors; and my child, my first begotten child, is now likely to perish. ‘Father of Mercies, Is it Indeed so?’ And ’Is there no balm in Gilead?1 Is there no redeeming of my darling from this untimely death? ’Arise Oh God! Let thine enemies be scattered.’ Maintain thine own cause. I-et the blood of the murdered Parent be washed away by the timely repentance of his murderers and let not his own sins be visited on this child of his affection. Grant this for Christ's sake. Amen. My dear Mucnschcr, there Is no way left but to do now what ought to have been done many years ago, for the Convention of Ohio to confess their sins as publicly as they committed them. They murdered me, an innocent man. Alleging publicly on their journals for Justi- fication a principle which they afterwards repudiated. Let them pass appropriate resolutions setting forth the fact and confessing the wrong they did me. Let them do this with as much eagerness to do right as they manifested In plunging the steel into my bosom. And then, and not till then, they may lift up their heads among their brethren. Then and not till then would the aged founder of Kenyon College once more buckle on his armour and go forth to contend with the forces of covetousness and bring Into the coffers of Kenyon College the needful to save her from ruin. —Bishop Chase to The Rev.

The Drunkard'� Tree appeared 3 August 1830. 20 I During the year 1832, sectional differ- ences sprang up, and increased to such an extent as to become extremely unpleasant. The number of students from northern and southern States was nearly equal, and a continual struggle for predominance was maintained. No one was admitted to mem- bership who would not unequivocally 'de- fine his position, and a system of'pairing' was observed, by which the same relative numerical strength was continually retained. Recourse was had to almost every means, in order to gain votes. A meeting was held at the room of a sick member, to secure his assistance upon an important question; and once in a case of most urgent necessity, a member was sent for, and came from Martinsburg; and another from about seven miles north. Contentions and difficulties in- creased until union was no longer tolerable, and separation was determined upon and effected. The property was amicably and equitably divided, S.A. BRONSON, since President of Kenyon College, and A.T. BOWIE, 'tossed up' a dollar for the name. Tradition says that JENIFER, seeing them return, inferred the result from their count- enances, and exclaimed, 'The Yankees have won it, The Yankees have won it.'

Before the next day's sun has reached its meridian, the sycamores, from a light cheerful green, have changed to a golden yellow—the maples have pul on a rich livery of orange and scarlet—the dog-wood has assumed a varied crimson—the deep green of the elm Is succeeded by a russet yellow—the red and black oaks have taken the colors indicated by their respective names, and the horse-chesnut, or ‘Buckeye,’ is of a brilliant brown cinnabar. We will now turn to the engraving. It is a study of trees, made on the name of Owl Creek. Ohio, a few miles below Kenyon College. The sycamores, or plane-trees, in the view, arc of gigantic growth, measuring not less than eight feet in diameter. The two dog-wood trees have also attained their largest size. The stream Is represented shallow, but In spring-time, when the winter's snow is dissolving, attended with heavy rains, it will overflow Its banks, and inundate the rich bottom-lands in its passage, giving the additional fertility for which they are known throughout the state. It Is a fine Autumnal afternoon, and if my reader will accompany me, we will wander along its shores, skipping from rock to rock, or picking our way among rounded moss covered stones, and occasionally walking leisurely over a fine gravelly strand, which we find always on the eddying side. Ix-t us climb (his rugged bank, and now that we arc above we see more perfectly the mirrored picture. How beautiful it is! Now we will cross through the woods and emerge again three miles below— we are no longer enveloped in the tangled mass of underwood which grows along the margin of (he stream. Here, on this prostrate tree, let us rest awhile, and meditate on the weary pilgrimage this little stream at our feet must perform before it mingles with the ocean. Thus, for fifty miles, it continues its obscure and modest course, under Its own but humble name of Owl Creek. Then, having formed a junction with the Mohiccon, it is known as White Woman's Creek for fifty miles further, when It enters the Muskingum. Now, enlarged into an ample volume, it rolls onward for ninety miles, to Marrietta, where it unites itself with the Ohio. Forming a part of this beautiful and majestic river, it winds gracefully but proudly along for eight hundred miles, until it glides into the turbid and overwhelming tide of the Mississippi; and then has eleven hundred miles of Journeying to make before it empties Itself Into the Gulf of Mexico; making altogether a pilgrimage of upwards of two thousand miles!

In the 1860's, the Kokosing was the scene of great boating activity. Reveille for 1865 lists sev- eral boat clubs, among them were The Kenyon Flotilla, the Occidental Boat Club, and the Kccwaydcn Boat Club. Each club had a dif- ferent uniform, and boat design. In a uniform consisting of blue shirts, white caps, and red belts, one team manned the eight oars of Its forty-six foot cedar shell. Interest lagged in boating until 1877 when the 'Kokosing Boat Club' was organized. Mr. Kll- bournc, the proprietor of the Col- lege Hotel, bought several skiffs and rented them out to his lodgers. In 1886, and again In 1890, sev- eral students made themselves canoes and paddled to Cincinnati via the Kokosing, Walhonding. Muskinghum, and Ohio Rivers. The five hundred mile trip took nineteen days. With the interest In the national Creek-letter fraternities that arose in the mid eighteen-fifties, a number of shortlived, local fraternities were established. In 1858 the Kokosing Tribe was organized and adopted as Its motto the phrase Wdahoalecn Aninshilhillsisak. The motto, which is said to mean in the Delaware Algonquin lan- guage, ‘I love chickens, inspired the group for eighteen years. Groups were organized for almost every purpose. There was a Shakesperian Club, a Microscopical Club,thcChaseCricketClub,the Snap Dragon Club, the Ascension Serenading Club, the Kenyon Wicket Club, and something called the Kxploring Expedition. 1-ambda of Delia Kappa Kptllon, founded 1853.

This, with an anxiety all through the country about the relations with our gov't coming out of the Trent affair, makes it a most interesting anxious time for me to be in England. Before that affair, the feeling of the great body of the nation was decidedly with the Union against the rebellion. At present, until the question of the release of the captured men is decided, that feeling Is checked, but not changed ... 1 firmly believe that if the Trent affair be amically settled, there will be no interference with us in favor of the South. They really do not want the cotton except for the employment of labourers .... The deep and wide feeling of the nation is that of stormy aversion to a war with us about the Trent affair, hope that it may be amicably adjusted ... They look upon the Trent matter as an insult to their flag, a breach of neutral rights, etc ... Parliament will be called on Jan. 7 to consider the question of war that if there be no surrender of prisoners then war will be declared .... Shall we sacrifice the wholccauscofthe gov't against rebellion for the sake of retaining two such men avoiding such wounds to our honor as would be inflicted by yielding where our cause is weak and our defense is an inconsistency ...? —Bishop Mcllvaine to Bishop Bedell.

These hells cause a blight in their vicinity; they drive people off the street for they cannot talk on the streets without Interruption, and they depreciate the valucofpropcrty, all these effects they produce within a radius. They are bad enough in the day lime, producing discomfort and injury to health, interrupting conversation. Interfering With business, and when alone, and all quiet around one's sell, horridly distracting to any consecutive thought and study. Thus day and night, we have these things to endure. But at night when all Is still and quiet about the house, and the atmosphere moist, then it is, that pernicious effects produced, is beyond diabolism. Not a nook or retreat, about my home and premises, but is filled with the sound waves and reverberations every fifteen minutes. I ask. Is this right? Is It just? Is it the spirit ofChristlanity? ... What suppose you is their effect at night? Oh, horrors! We retire In dread; we moan in sleep as they partially arouse overtaxed nature. They awaken the gentle sleep, and hour after hour is passed in vain efforts to get used to the thumps, as they fall on the system.

After a complete Survey of the field they unanimously elected Pro- fessor Wni. F. Peirce, at present occupying the chair of Philosophy and History, to the position of pre- sident ... Professor Peirce was to arrive at 2:40 the next morning. The whole student body stayed up to greet him. A surrey was provided with a long rope attached In front along which 60 to 70 stu- dents arranged themselves. When at last the train came in, it was greeted with the prolonged blasts of tin horns and the sharp reports of cannon crackers. Hardly had the astonished Professor stepped from the train when he was hurried Into the carriage awaiting him. At that moment a rocket streamed up from the observatory on the tower of Ascension Hall, shooting far over the valley, leaving a vanish- ing arch of fire and bursting high in the air. The procession started at a run, the road being illumi- nated by volleys of Roman candles on all sides.

You see, when I was 12 years old, the great football event, the annual gridiron classic, was the final game of the season between Ohio State and the powerful Kenyon eleven. The Ohio State-Kenyon game had to make up in color and side show for what it lacked in quality. It sometimes wasn’t as good as the East-North game, particularly in the days of Fat Henry of East and Tart Sapp of North(ah,whatanamewas there, gents!). The Kenyon classic was always held on Thanksgiving Day. Everyone got in his surrey or Thomas Fiver and drove to Ohio Field in a Jovial mood, lull of Madeira, turkey, and mince pic. The color scheme itself was worth driving north to see: Pumpkins and corn and dahlias, hedge apples and scarlet and grey banners and a big turkey cock dyed a deep purple. Perhaps it was this strutting mascot (hat riled thcOhio State rooters. Anyway, the Kenyon game usually ended in a free-for-all. The menfolks would climb out of the stands, or the surrey, or the auto, and swarm onto the field yelling for Cambier blood, while the womenfolk stayed behind, throwing hedge apples at everything purple that dared show its head or wattles. I remember a light that broke out one Thanksgiving twilight in the front vestibule of an east bound Oak St. car between a State- rooter and a Kenyon fan. The motorman stopped the car (around I.atta A ve., I believe) and put the two men off. Col dang it, said the motorman, ’football fights should be fought north of Buttles Ave. People out East here have something better to think aboutT He didn’t make clear what that was. In pointing for the Kenyon game in those dear dull days, Ohio State faced such formidable opposition as Otterbein, Wittenberg, Denison, and Wooster. 'Why don’t those big Ohio State bullies take on colleges their own size, Aunt Abigail Schwartzbaugh asked me once. I hey do, I told her. 'They take on Michigan once a year. And they did, too, although perhaps you would rather discuss some- thing more pleasant. —James Thurber, Hon. '50, by permission, Columbus Dispatch Magazine. Kenyon Forever.

'Head of the Faintly,' a Kenyon Dramatic Club production In Rosse Hall, June 1895. One Freshman Was Captured By Sophs. The Rush Regan At Five O' clock And Lasted Fifteen Min- utes. The Score Was 16 To 14 In Favor Of The Sopho- mores. The honest kind of a cane rush was pulled offal Kenyon college at five o'clock Friday afternoon, between tbe mem- bers of the freshmen and sophomore classes. In the parlance of the ring, It was a case of hammer and tongs from start to finish, and this morning a score of muscular young stalwarts are sore In every Joint. Throughout the day there was considerable excitement over the attempts of both sides: to steal men from the opposi- tion. The sophomores did succeed In corralling a fresh- man and spirited him safely away, but he escaped and returned In time to Join his mates In the rush. Another venturesome freshman se- cured a buggy and drovedan- gerously near the head- quarters of the sophomores. He finally became so bold that he became reckless and scarcely before hcknewlt.was surrounded by sophomores. He managed to exape and reached hiscomradcs In safety- only after he had puthlshorx on a dead run. The freshmen remained to- gether all day, for the sopho- mores were very much a la Boer in their tactics and had a surprise party for every freshman that wandered away from the fold. At noon the entire freshman class went (o dinner together at the Kenyon houx. and after dinner went Immediately to Bexley hall, where they remained until three o'clock. At that hour President Peirce appeared and presented them with the official cane. Tlx next two hours were spent in practicing, and at five o'clock the freshmen marched downthccentcr p«h. The freshmen were under command of Charles Aves, of Norwalk, and were met at the library building by the sopho- mores under the command of Captain Muter, of Youngs- town. The sophomores were drawn up in two wedges and as the freshmen hove In fight- ing distance, they were greeted with a sally of flour and eggs. The struggle that followed for the next fifteen minutes was a fierce one. The referees were all upper classmen, and thdr hands were kept full looking out for unfair tactics, but none were dlxovercd. When lime was called It was dlxovercd that the sophomores had six- teen hands upon thecane.and the freshman had fourteen hands, the contest thus being awarded to the sophomores. In the evening the sopho- mores built a huge bonfire In front of Old Kenyon and celebrated thdr victory In an appropriate manner.

McOuuhcon on the from pauc of (he Chicago Sunday Tribune, 5 November 1905. On the evening of Saturday, the twenty-eighth of October (1905). several fraternities held Initiations. It was customary with most of them to appoint lor each initiate some lonely spot where he must go and await In silence and solitude the arrival of the men who should take him to the chapter house. Stuart I,. Pierson, a freshman, was told to wait at the eastern end of the railroad bridge, near the fool of the hill. No train regularly passed there during the time that he must wait; but on this night a locomotive came from Brink Haven, going to Mount Vernon, and in some unexplained way Pierson was run over by it and killed. The engineer and fireman saw nothing on the track, and did not know of the accident until they reached Mount Vernon. When the fraternity men came tocall Pierson they found his dead body. This terrible death has remained a mystery. The boy's being on the track has never been adequately accounted for. The most satisfactory hypothesis is based on the fact that young Pierson was a very sound sleeper, and had been awake nearly all the previous night, waiting for his father's arrival from Cincinnati. He may have seated himself on an abutment of the bridge, and in the darkness and stillness of the night may have fallen asleep. Suddenly half-wakened by the sharp whistle of (he locomotive as it approached the bridge,and blinded by the glare of the headlight, he may have sprung up and—his mind being In a daze—may have started to run, and may have stumbled across the track and fallen. This explanation fits every fact that is known, and every probability. But the ex- planation that was immediately spread all over the world was that Pierson had been tied to the track to frighten him ... Newspapers in America and In foreign lands continued for months to speak of it; some eminent preachers told of it in their sermons; parents declared that never should their sons be sent to a college where It was the custom to lie freshmen to the railway track. The enrollment at Kenyon immediately fell off, and went lower year by year, and not until ten years had gone by did It fully recover. — C.F. Smytht 60 Row Hall decorated for a dance.

This Is a date to be remembered for a thousand years. News came this morning that Germany has surrendered to the Allies: the Kaiser has abdicated and fled into Holland: the Great War Is over. At one o'clock the Kenyon students and the people of Gambler Hill gathered in front of the Campus Gate, where President Peirce made an address, standing in an automobile. Then a parade was organized; first, the Kenyon students, with their bugles and drums, marching very soldicr-likc after their two months military training: then the village officials; then the Harcourt girls in red-white and blue costume, headed by Uncle Sain and the Goddess of Liberty: then the public school children, carrying an American flag so large that it required several boys to manage it: last, the people of the village, the two Miss Whites, the professors with their wives, and everybody, young and old. In such order we marched up the road to Bexley Hall, and then down the Middle Path to the college. At Bexley Hall this evening we had a special service, reading the Kpiphany sentences, with the 121st, the 124th. and the 125th Psalms, giving Thanks for Victory, and singing appropriate hymns. Down at Old Kenyon the students, who have been in training for the army during the past several months, were expressing their consternation at the news of peace. However, they built a large bonfire in which they burned the Kaiser in effigy—the last act of an elaborate court martial. Then they danced a snake-dance around the great blaze, listened to an address by the President, sang college songs, and finished with the Kenyon HikaT — Canon O.E.

The mystery of education eludes all description, but one fact is revealed by comparisons: given an alert young person, it will make a world ofdifference who teaches him. Anyone who Is responsible for choosing teachers,and who perhaps in a small way influences their work, senses how effective are his own ideas about the end of the whole endeavor of teaching and learning. You cannot be party to fixing a school budget or selecting college trustees or outlining legislative appropriations without observing all down the line—through the decisions of college president, school superintendent, dean, chairman of department, and instructor—the direct bearing of a single guiding idea upon what school or college will do to the student. What should that single guiding idea be? What does the subtle and complex enterprise called education really intend to achieve? The child starts off with his new red book on a strap, and formal learning has begun. To what end? ... To meet the present challenge not simply todcmocracy, but to its ethical basis, it is necessary for education to execute a reversal of thinking analogous to the changes in literary and political thinking occasioned by the war. In sum, these changes amount to an abandonment of the disintegrated or sentimental liberalism of the pacifist and appeasement era, and the adoption of an ethical liberalism based on critical knowledge of the nature of Individual man. Only if taught with such ends in view may young Americans achieve a reasoned, as distinguished from a dogmatic, affirmation of the value of the Individual and his responsibility. The knowledge which makes possible this affirmation should stand at the center of common education In order (hat we may maintain our conception of what free government truly is and in order to equip us for the greatness, both personal and national, which is demanded of us by the times. Our central aim ought to be the understanding of man, his nature, and his place. ’There arc two laws discrete Not reconciled,— Law for man. and law for thing; The last builds town and fleet, But it runs wild.

The ghost had been seen by living men. but there was no memory or documentation of the fireplaces. The oldest recollections of the building, before central heating, were of wood stoves. Four huge chimneys rose through the center section of the building. Middle Kenyon. A fireplace was built in the first floor parlor, into one of those chimneys. Last Saturday night (February 27, 1949) the Middle Kenyon Students, non-fraternity men, had a fire in the fireplace. About 9 o'clock it had burned down to cinders. Someoncdumpedsomewastcpaperinit.lt burned in a quick flame and subsided. About 10 o'clock the students began going to bed. Others came in later in the evening, following a dance on the campus .... Watchman Bill Emerson walked into the east door of Middle Kenyon, walked through the parlor, saw the last few students still sitting around ... The last four students who were awake left the parlor at 3:45. By 4 A..NL everyone was in bed. The watchman con- tinued through Hanna and Mather. He punched his clock at 4:10 in Mather Hall, came out on the Middle Path, and looked back toward Old Kenyon. The center hallway was in flames .... Sheets of flame, smoke, and hot gasses spread with explosive rapidity through the cast and center halls on the second and third floors. None of the survivors mentioned flames in their rooms when they awoke. Most of the second and third floor men went to their doors, opened them a crack, felt the blast of heat, smoke, or flame and slammed them shut. Then they went for their windows .... Of the 23 boys on the third floor of Middle Kenyon, seven are dead, five arc in the hospital. Six of the seven dead never got out of the building at all. Two boys Jumped from the second floor, failed to clear the building, and suffered skull fractures. Both died .... Students who had worked as volunteer orderlies In Mercy Hospital, professors who had stayed up for two nights met their classes at 8 o'clock Monday morning. —Mews release to Time magazine, 5 March, 1949. 82 The deep reality of liberty is so much more complex than tu 'cops and robbers' guise, that one must find other metaphors to describe it. Those of you who have sailed small boats are familiar with the tension which was achieved, with the invention of fore-and- aft rigging, between the motion of the wind and the Inertia of the water, a resolution of forces so complex, using keel, hull, and rudder against the water and the weather and the leeward side of the sails against the water, and the weather and the leeward side of the sails against wind, so Ingeniously that a finely balanced boat will move forward almost anywhere—nearly straight Into the wind itself. The final resistance which determines the boat's direction, and therefore whether it will move and where, is the rudder. The weight of this your whole strength to pull the boat around, and even on her course the best of sailing boats in a blow will 'take a lot of rudder. You hold her on the course by main strength. She is boiling along, bouncing high on every wave, the crest only breaking over her foredeck, and a wake of white satin marking the green sea astern. The ship is alive. She is free, as she w-ill be, doing what she came into the world to do. She is going. Inside herself she is taut. The keel is rigid .... The sails are strain- ing full ... the stays, which hold the mast in position, are all taut with such a weight of air that if one of them snaps the mast is almost sure to snap as well. The tiller and rudder nearly pull them- selves out of your hand. What will happen if you let go the tiller? The boat will stop. She will swing, round head to the wind, all the sails will rattle and snap, the rudder and tiller will slosh back and forth, and the ship a minute ago free and going is in irons.' One definition of freedom would say that now is the time she is free. Nothing holds her—at least internally. She is free to go-where she likes? No, where the sea and the wind like, which is on the rocks, and there she goes in no time. But this is freedom. There have been no restraints. Everything on that ship is now loose and relaxed ... The ship Is no longer taut .... She appears within herself to be free from everything; but she soon pays the price of freedom from, which is shipwreck. ... [The fact is) she is really not free but in irons ... confined, Jailed, manacled, a slave. When she was free, she was taut within herself, and, being free, she had the upper hand of both wind and water, working her will against them. Now, if the taut ship ... is a symbol of freedom, you can t very well say freedom arid ... freedom and order, freedom and law. freedom and responsibility. Freedom is a single thing-the whole state of the ship. There arc oppositions of forces and contradictions within her—all these arc necessary to the ship's freedom. Here is no question of freedom against law. The law is within freedom-lt makes freedom possible ... The antithesis to freedom Is not here some other good things such as order or law or responsibility. The antithesis to the freedom of the ship is its denial. It is to be in irons. —Cordon Keith Chalmers, January 1956 a msiinv� AT MNX-N «■ «� •' T II L Freedom Tire IJi-,1 and Pr.KtKe of Ordered Liberty m the Tu cutitt l Cent my IASAYS BY HAUL G.

It has an enrollment of 500 men. Russell Kirk, distinguished critic of higher education in America, rates Kenyon first among men's colleges. The recent death of Gordon Keith Chalmers, Its president, was a great blow to the college. Chal- mers was a humanist, a disciple of Harvard's Irving Babbitt. Kenyon emphasizes humanistic studies, but docs not ncglcci natural science. From 1936 to 1950 science doctorates were earned by 21 Kenyon graduates. The Kenyon Review, organ of the movement called the New Criticism, Is highly respected in literary circles. Knapp and Greenbaum rated Kenyon 15th among all American educational Institutions, with an index of 22.4 scholars per 1,000 graduates. 85 — Chicago Tribune. 2 June 1957. i t k Actual buildings, even the Chalmers Memorial Library, addition to Peirce Hall, the new McBride Field, and the George Gund Hall, obscure many internal changes at Kenyon which began with the administration of F. F.dward Lund. Since coming to Kenyon College in 1957, President Lund initiated and supported a more active lecture and concert series. Average student enrollment increased from 492 to 617 (toward an immediate goal of 750) while faculty expansion kept pace with significant expansion beyond the sciences and humanities, in Classics, Music, Art, and more recently Religion. College En- trance Examination Board averages for the freshman class rose from verbal 536, math 548 to verbal 615, math 634. Faculty salaries Increased from an average of $4,780 to $7,812; also fringe benefits and a substantial improvement in faculty housing. Understandably, the most tangible basis for Kenyon's future in the years ahead rests equally with an administration seldom content with the status quo, and a young, vigorous faculty courageous enough in the recent Self-Study to Introduce many vital changes in the Instructional program and curriculum.
