First Ohio State graduate to become gov- ernor of Ohio — that ' s John W. Bricker. Ohio State was proud of him during his university days when he was a campus leader, holding the presidency of the YMCA, membership in Sphinx and Delta Chi Fraternity and numerous other campus organizations. He was catcher on the baseball team and an outstanding debater. In the University law school he also made a notable name for himself. Ohio State is even more proud of him now that he has achieved state recognition as governor and national rec- ognition, too. Whispers of a possible presiden- tial candidacy within the next decade are being heard. John W. Bricker — smiling, genial, and a leader of men — The Makio salutes you! You ' re the kind of alumnus the University is proud to call its own. ,CKt« dmicah. OU r e W 1 X

TO EX-PRESIDENT RIGUTMIRE.... Ohio State University misses Dr. George W. Rightmire, the kindly man who guided it as president for twelve years until his retirement last year. Nearly half a century Dr. Rightmire was closely associated with the University, as student, dean, and president. The first Ohio State graduate to become president of his alma mater, Dr. Rightmire made the Un iversity a model of its kind, saw it grow, and heard the acclaim of the country. Alumni have erected a monument in the little village of Center Fur- nace, Lawrence County, Ohio, at the birthplace of Dr. Rightmire. He has a larger, finer monu- ment, however, in the hearts of all Ohio Staters who have had the great good fortune to be associated with the tall, smiling man. He spent this year in Europe, where history-changing has been frequent, but The Makio knows Dr. Right- mire ' s heart will always with the University. And he knows our hearts are always with him. i-
