Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to unlabeled page 3 of A Hundred Years] Foreword The world crisis of today presents a challenge unrivalled in the annals of history. Creative and constructive Christian leadership is the most vital need of every nation. Colleges such as Ohio Wesleyan University have ever met such chal- lenges and must meet them even more effectively today and tomorrow. Ohio Wesleyan University completes the first century of service in 1942. The record of these years is unique in the quality and extensiveness of leadership produced. Proud of the heritage of the past and realizing the needs of today, Ohio Wesleyan leaders are designing a forward movement for the univer- sity. The second hundred years must be greater than the first. Young men and young women of dynamic personality and moral character must be trained to serve their age. Early pioneers of faith, sacrifice, courage and devotion made possible the founding of Ohio Wesleyan. Investments of time, talents and re- sources now will preserve foundations already laid and build for tomorrow.

BEGINNINGS "There is no Methodist College in Ohio. There is no state in the country which has more need for such a college." This challenge was read to the North Ohio Conference in September, 1840. Little more than a year later, under the leadership of the Reverend Adam Poe, the Methodist pastor in Delaware, one hundred and seventy-two towns- people had subscribed $9,000 which which to launch such a college. The Man- sion House, an inn which stood near a white sulphur spring, was purchased. A special charter for the founding of a university was granted by the Ohio State Legislature on March 7, 1842. The Preamble reads: "The Ohio and North Ohio Methodist Conferences are determined upon establishing an extensive university ... to the support of which they are pledged to use their utmost efforts ... this university is forever to be conducted on the most liberal prin- ciples, accessible to all religious denominations ..." Twenty-nine students enrolled in the new college for the first term. Although this was only about one-fourth as many students as had been expected, although the first four instructors waited long periods for their pay, never a doubt arose in the minds of those Christian pioneers that the school would succeed. They knew before undertaking the venture that it would mean sacrifice, but they were not daunted. The full measure of their dreams could be realized only in the establishment of a Christian college. Keenly aware of this need, they were willing to give much of the little which they possessed to see Ohio Wesleyan grow.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to unlabeled page 7 in A Hundred Years] Our Heritage GROWTH THROUGH SACRIFICE A circuit rider sold his horse and walked that he might make a contribution to the college. A president sold his home to provide the initial gift for a fund with which to build a chapel. Year by year loyal students and alumni made contributions; believers in education with a Christian emphasis built their lives into each new structure. As the student body increased, a larger chapel was needed, and Gray Chapel was given by David S. Gray as a memorial to his father. To meet another great need of the institution, Charles Elihu Slocum started the fund for the library that bears his name. The Monnett family contributed to the building of Monnett Hall; Anna Sanborn Clason gave money toward the building of Sanborn Hall; and the Edwards family contributed to the gymnasium. Professor Hiram Perkins, together with his wife and sister, gave the savings of a life time for the building and endowing of Perkins Observatory. The gift of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Edgar made possible the acquisition of Edgar Hall. The Selby brothers, Pearl, Mark, Homer and Roger, as a memorial to their father, Mr. George Selby, contributed funds for the erection of Selby Stadium. The newest building on the campus is Stuyvesant Hall, the beautiful home of freshman women. This was the generous gift of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stuyvesant. After the death of Mr. Stuyvesant, Mrs. Stuyvesant, in memory of her hus- band, installed the carillon tower with its beautifully toned chimes.

Description An account of the resource [page 8] [corresponds to unlabeled page 8 in A Hundred Years] The names mentioned here are of those whose gifts are represented in build- ings. Many, many others have contributed generously. But money has not been the only important contribution to this university; if that were so, Ohio Wesleyan would be only brick and wool and stone, not the living spirit that holds the love and loyalty of thousands of men and women. Lives have been given as freely as money. Long years of devoted service in the classroom have been chiefly rewarded by the affection of students and the knowledge that it was all a part of the building of the Kingdom of God, not only in Delaware, but around the world. The roster of those who have thus nobly served is too long to be printed here, for countless are the people who have become a part of the growth of Ohio Wesleyan University, projecting their influence into thousands of young lives-- into the future of America. ALUMNI ACHIEVEMENT Throughout these first one hundred years, Ohio Wesleyan University has been recognized for the excellence of its scholastic achievement and its conse- crated Christian living. Its leaders have consistently realized that the highest type of academic training and the building of Christian character cann, and should, go hand in hand. Ohio Wesleyan has contributed eminent leadership to every important field of endeavor in American life. In law, politics, medicine, journalism, art, music, and in international relations, its graduates have distinguished themselves. Those trained in the sciences have helped to make every-day life more comfort- able, more safe, more worth living. Others have gone forth to teach in the nation's schools and colleges, per- petuating the best within themselves in the lives of those whom they taught. A distinguished group has served the church in a notable way, as bishops, min- isters, and lay leaders. Still others have become missionaries, spreading the gospel of Christ to the far ends of the earth. Many have written articles and books that have inspired and influenced our thinking.

They are young people of good character, proven ability, and serious in their desire to acquire an education where the emphasis is on Christian char- acter-building as well as intellectual and physical development. There are one hundred and twenty-five men and women on the teaching and administrative staff. These leaders of today's students are consecrated to the Christian ideal and have been carefully chosen because of proficiency in their respective fields and their interest in personalized education with a Christian emphasis. Ohio Wesleyan University is fully accredited by all rating bodies, Founda- tions and graduate schools of America. A chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary society, was established on the Delaware campus in 1907. Beginning with one building -- the Old Mansion House, now Elliott Hall, Ohio Wesleyan has acquired buildings and grounds imposing in appearance and great in value. The university is now housed in seventeen buildings on three campuses. Property of various kinds has been added to the holdings through the years, so that today the assets of Ohio Wesleyan have a book value of $7,439,000.... And so Ohio Wesleyan has continued to grow, to influence, and to serve, throughout its first one hundred years. The needs of yesterday have been met. Now comes tomorrow -- with greater needs and greater opportunities.

Dr. Burgstahler served prominent pastorates of the Methodist Church most acceptably before being called to the presidency of Cornell College, Mount Vernon, Iowa. During his twelve years (1927-1939) as president of Cornell College, the institution enjoyed outstanding prosperity, the endowment was substantially increased, new buildings were erected and many of the older build- ings reconditioned, and its educational program greatly advanced. He is widely known as a leading educator, administrator, and public speaker. His presidency bespeaks a new and better day for Ohio Wesleyan.

Description An account of the resource [page 12] [corresponds to unlabeled page 12 in A Hundred Years] PRESIDENT BURGSTAHLER'S MESSAGE What does the world need most in this catastrophic hour? Fear, confusion, and insecurity harass the minds of men the world around. The imperative for the world today and tomorrow is Christian statesmen-- high-minded men and women who have character, who are moved by Christian motives to serve, who believe that God is at the helm, that human personality is sacred and that ultimately Christian ideals and standards will abide in the world. Ohio Wesleyan has a century prepared such men. Its record of alumni leadership in the world is amazing. Its contribution of such leadership tomorrow will be even greater because of superior educational standards and techniques. This education will be purposed to inspire young men and women to live nobly, sacrificially, and creatively for their age. Future facilities, as those of the past, will be selected for their thorough scholastic abilities, proven teaching qualities, and their definite interest in personalizing education. The new century of Ohio Wesleyan must be greater than the last if we are to fulfill the hopes and dreams of those noble men who laid its foundations. This will require greater income, freeing the university of debt, reconditioning buildings, adding new equipment, building a dormitory for men, and in general improving the financial structure of the university. We who believe in Christ-centered education will build with vision as great, and sacrifice as vicarious and daring, as did our forebears. The investments of money and self now will insure the preparing of world leaders who will preserve the hard won standards of today's life and will help build the world of tomorrow according to the program of the Master of menn. Permit me to express my deep appreciation to all who have cooperated so loyally in the past. With God's help, we together, will begin the new century with assurance of increasing success. H. J.

On many sides the democratic, and even the Christian way of life is being chal- lenged. If the spiritual ideals of our nation are to persist, they must be given new support and greater encouragement. Our educational institutions must continue to pursue the truth, to cherish the good, and to teach young people to live happy, worthwhile lives. The world's greatest need is for really Christian education, the kind of education for which Ohio Wesleyan has stood for one hundred years; the kind of education we want to give in a better way to more young men and women in the days and years to come. Just as Ohio Wesleyan has produced great leaders in the past, so must it produce even greater leaders in the future. The courage and daring of the pioneer must be made to live again. During the first hundred years those who had faith in the development of a greater Ohio Wesleyan, brought that faith to fulfillment by a sacrificial spirit and unselfish generosity. There is a need that men and women today have the same kind of faith and determination that Ohio Wesleyan may continue to go forward.

At the threshold of its second century, they are resolved that it shall have the material means to carry on its work in the finest possible way. As an embodiment of their good will and confidence, they have determined to establish a centennial fund of a million dollars minimum. The program is already under way. The announcement of the plan brought a challenge-gift of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars; other substantial gifts followed. The spirit of generosity and of sacrifice still endures. By the united efforts of friends of the college, the goal set will be accomplished. Loyalty and devotion will not fail. With the minimum sum of one million dollars added to the present assets, the financial status of the university will be strengthened greatly. This rep- resents the beginning of the forward program of the university for the new century. LEADERS OF THE MOVEMENT To provide a centennial celebration worthy of the university, and to see that all friends and alumni have an opportunity to help make the Centennial Fund of a minimum of one million dollars a glorious reality, careful plans have been made. Dr. William Frederick Bigelow, alumnus and trustee, has been chosen as Centennial Fund Chairman. Cooperating with him as financial counsellor and executive director of the movement is Dr. J. Wesley Miller. The Centennial Fund is endorsed by the North-East Ohio and Ohio Con- ferences of the Methodist Church. Bishop H. Lester Smith of the Cincinnati Area is serving as chairman of the church division of the campaign.

Ohio Wesleyan leaders and friends have vision. They also have faith. Their vision and faith will bring the realization of the Centennial Fund, which means the financial strengthening of the structure and program of the university. With all working together this can be accomplished. The worth-whileness of the Ohio Wesleyan program is evidenced by the character of its students -- those of yesterday, those of today, and (can we doubt it?) those of tomorrow, for whom we would build now. Look into the faces of the two students pictured on the opposite page. In the faces of these students are both the revelation and the promise of the greatness of Ohio Wesleyan. To help maintain the Ohio Wesleyan type of Christian education for such as these is the privilege and the opportunity of every alumnus and friend of the institution. Success is the campaign for the Centennial Fund of a minimum of one million dollars will be insurance that Ohio Wesleyan's second century of service to young men and women will be even greater than that of the first century. Devotion, sacrifice, and daring just now will bring rich dividends in the future. Will you meet the challenge?

Description An account of the resource [page 6] [corresponds to page 2 of OWU "A Fountain of Good in the World" 1922] Ohio Wesleyan The Founding of Ohio Wesleyan OHIO Wesleyan University was founded in 1842 under the patronage of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1841 Charles Elliott, Joseph M. Trimble and W. P. Strickland drove from Urbana, Ohio to Delaware, Ohio, to look at the grounds and hotel building which the citizens of the latter place had offered to the Methodist Church for college purposes. When the three preachers returned to the seat of the Methodist conference, only one of them had enough money with which to pay for the carriage in which they made the journey; and Dr. Trimble made the first contribution to the University by paying the expenses of that historical visit. Dr. Elliott's speech portraying the possibili- ties of a college for Ohio Methodism awak- ened great enthusiasm and led the conference to accept the gift of the citizens of Delaware and to undertake to launch a university upon faith. Pioneer Days IN 1842 Delaware was a village of 900 in- habitants, away from the lines of travel and commerce. There were no railroads in the state and but few good pikes. In bad weather it took the tri-weekly stage a whole day to plow its way hither from Columbus. There were no street lights and on dark nights pedestrians had to carry lanterns.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to page 3 of OWU "A Fountain of Good in the World" 1922] A Child of Faith Columbus, now the closest large city, was a straggling town of western type, with a population of 6048, while Cleveland, now the nation's fifth city, could just muster 6070. Mansion House and Sulphur Spring at Delaware OHIO Wesleyan owes its location, if not its establishment, to the famous White Sulphur Spring in Delaware. In order to accomodate tourists and seekers after health, two enterprising citizens in 1833 erected a fine hotel on a spacious lot embrac- ing the spring. This hotel soon became known to the citizens of Delaware and to tourists as the Mansion House. On account of the sparsely settled state and the difficulties of traveling, it seemed advisable in 1841 to give up the idea of establishing a western watering-place. The spring property being thus brought into the market, it was suggested by Rev. Adam Poe, the Methodist Pastor in Dela- ware, that the citizens should purchase it and offer it as a site for a Methodist college. This sug- gestion led to the establishment of a great univer- sity. 3 Title A name given to the resource Ohio Wesleyan University: A Fountain of Good in the World (p. 7) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/900bcc534e8aa462cfebc087333dcfd2.jpg 2da1157509be06d167ff8500916caa8a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Education supplemented with Character Building has been the unswerving aim and ideal of the University for all these years. That impress has been left upon the minds of more than 30,000 young men and women since 1842. In addition to mental training every youth entering the Univer- sity has his spiritual, physical and social welfare carefully guarded and developed. Ohio Wesleyan's gift to civilization is a group of strong upstanding, God-fearing men and women--youths trained intellec- tually, inbred with a high moral sense and equipped physically to meet the demands of life.

Its practice is to prepare men and women for the responsibility of citizen-ship that they may fill with credit any post to which they may be called and master with facility any problem with which they are confronted. Instead of directing the minds of its students into narrow, techni- cal pursuits, Ohio Wesleyan provides a liberal education that frees the mind of the limitation of special interests and makes it alert, wide ranging and resourceful. Such training fits men and women to deal with the difficult and un- expected problems of life and business and instills into them many things that a strictly professional training will not. For example: (a) Open mind, (b) Judicial Temper, (c) Resourcefulness in sum- moning related facts, (d) Breadth of Appreciation, (e) Orderly ar- rangement of facts and thoughts, (f) Clear presentation in good English.

Description An account of the resource [page 11] [corresponds to page 7 of OWU "A Fountain of Good in the World" 1922] the Responsibilities of Tomorrow Cultural Training as a Foundation WITH broad cultural training as a foundation, men will become better engineers, better business men, better teachers, lawyers, doctors, ministers, farmers and citizens, than they who cramp the first development of the mind in narrow, technical pursuits. A broad viewpoint once acquired, will last a lifetime. If a man wants to be an engineer, by all means, let him get a liberal arts training, in whole or in part before taking up the technicalities. By so doing, he will think more clearly, write more accurately and speak more convincingly. This will enable him to get his proposition before the public in better form and take and keep for himself the place in the community to which his training entitles him. To keep abreast of the times, Ohio Wesleyan has supplemented the cultural studies, such as the Classics, Literature, Philosophy and the Languages with the Arts and Sciences demanded by conditions of modern civilization. The following list outlines the Departments of Instruction and College Courses that constitute the University: Business Administra- Sciences Social Sciences tion Botany--8 courses Economics--7 courses Education Physics--9 courses History-- 33 courses English Engineering--11 Political Science-- 10 Foreign Languages courses courses Mathematics and As- Geology--12 Sociology--17 courses tronomy courses Home Economics--10 Philosophy and Psy- Zoology--8 courses courses chology Chemistry-- 21 School of Music Physical Education courses School of Fine Arts Religion School of Oratory [photo] Sturges Hall--A Chemistry Building where many students have labored to help solve the mysteries of science. 7 Title A name given to the resource Ohio Wesleyan University: A Fountain of Good in the World (p. 11) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/5f37e51cad3e9865122bebb8eab67bcc.jpg 5d64d492f16eb592eb7a3ee9c2cec165 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 12] [corresponds to page 8 of OWU "A Fountain of Good in the World" 1922] Preparation for Life Character Building at Ohio Wesleyan PREPARATION of young men and women for life as well as occupation has been a steadfast policy of Ohio Wesleyan since 1842. She has always recognized and met the great responsibility that rests upon a University in directing its students through the four critical and formative years of life. Ohio Wesleyan has so con- sistently taught straight living as well as straight thinking that she has often been called "The Character Moulder." Personal Contact Between Faculty and Students REALIZING the powerful influence that a professor exerts upon the life of his students, the University has always fostered close paternal contact between faculty and undergraduates. That policy necessarily carries with it smaller classes and an aim to give the same grade of instruction to freshmen and sophomores as to juniors and seniors: A quality rather than a quantity production. Daily Chapel DAILY Chapel service is an important and unique part of student life at Ohio Wesleyan. Two things stand out clearly in this dis- tinctive exercise:--it encourages fellowship, solidarity and a demo- cratic spirit.

Description An account of the resource [page 13] [corresponds to page 9 of OWU "A Fountain of Good in the World" 1922] As well as Occupation This is one time at which all students congregate. As they throng through the corridors before and after the Chapel Service, there is a wholesomeness and frankness that is created by reason of this daily mingling together. In the second place, the ideal thing is put before them continuously and in the highest form. Even though attendance is compulsory, the atmosphere is devotional and the pre- sentation of the ideal things of life is made in such a simple and superior way as to meet the approval of all types of minds. Other Religious Activities ALTHOUGH attendance is voluntary, the great interest that students take in other religious activities reflects the intense moral earnestness of these young people--The best professors in the University lead the Sunday Bible School Classes for students. The effort is to find and effectively interpret the Scriptures in their prac- tical bearing upon every day life. The Consecration Services, held twice a year; Consultation with students on religious and life problems; The Merrick Lectures on Experimental and Practical Religion; The Y.M.C.A.; The Y.W.C. A.; The Student Volunteer Band composed of students who are preparing for service in the mission field, are all making a mighty impress upon the minds of Ohio Wesleyan's young people.

During the past eighty years, the University has given to civilization more than 30,000 young men and women equipped physically for lives of strenuous work--an army of Doers as well as Thinkers. Physical Education THE University Course, Gymnasium work and athletics are all part of the Department of Physical Education. The University Course prepares men and women to teach athletics, gymnastics and playground activities in Colleges, High Schools, Y.M. C.A.'s, Y.W.C.A.'s, and many other fields of physical endeavor. Ohio Wesleyan has the best equipment in Ohio for this class of work, and its graduates are able to compete with Physical Directors trained in specialized schools. [photo] Edwards Gymnasium.

The aim of the Department is to bring the entire student body to a high standard of physical fitness rather than the development of a few stars. Physical defects are cured, muscles are co-ordinated and students are taught the value of recreation. Boys and girls are taught health habits that prove invaluable in after life. The head of this department is ably assisted by capable leaders for gymnasium classes and well known coaches for the several branches of athletics. An opportunity for all students to participate in some branch of athlet- ics, compulsory gymnasium work, periodical physical examination of students, supervision of student living conditions, consultation with Director of Physical Education (a Physician) are several of the many ways in which Ohio Wesleyan guards the physical welfare of its students.

Description An account of the resource [page 16] [corresponds to page 12 of OWU "A Fountain of Good in the World" 1922] A Student Today Helping the Student Find Himself TO prevent the groping and floundering that often follows the sudden transition from student life to the responsibilities of business life, Ohio Wesleyan has adopted a definite policy of vocational guidance. The Dean or Professor with whom the student has been so closely associated during the most important years of life preparation, exerts a powerful influence in shaping the future of the student. The Professor during this formative period plays the important role of Teacher, Guide and Friend. This personal contact is the saving grace of college life and a powerful inspiration for the future. Consultation with Deans and Professors for vocational guidance is supplemented with business lectures to undergraduates by Ohio Wesleyan Alumni and other prominent business men brought to Delaware for that purpose. Added to these helps, the University conducts psychological examinations to determine the mental aptitude of its students. Ohio Wesleyan gives studied attention to the mind, the heart, the body, and the future of every student within her walls--a well balanced train- ing that develops youths of promise into men and women of prominence.

In Ohio Wesleyan we insist on skill in instruction, enthusiasm for culture, devotion to learning, the pursuit of scholarship. We do not forget that comradeship of life in class and on campus, and intimacy of contact be- tween student and professor are indispensable. The final problem with Ohio Wesleyan is a human one--scholars of high moral purpose, minds trained to perceive the great religious values, personality that is consecrated to the making of a better world. At Ohio Wesleyan we insist that every instructor shall aim not only at the development of high intellectual life and well balanced technical skill, but also the realization of the most intelligent Christian ideal for every student."

Description An account of the resource [page 18] [corresponds to page 14 of OWU "A Fountain of Good in the World" 1922] Student Life THE city of Delaware is comparatively small with a population of nine thousand, and is largely dominated by the University life. The clean, healthful atmosphere in which Ohio Wesleyan students live is that created by themselves and would be impossible if the University were located in a large city. THe lack of diverting influences engenders a democratic good-will and heartiness among the students and creates an enduring class and college Spirit. At Ohio Wesleyan there is a right balance between the delightful social life of the Campus, the activities and amusements that go hand in hand with youth, and the seriousness of the student's work. To develop individuality, executive ability and self- reliance, the University encourages many student activities outside the regular cur- riculum--Student Government, Athletics, College Publications and various societies, Clubs and organizations. Student Government and Honor Court AN organization of the student body for self-government has been formed which expresses its will through a Student Council in matters affecting the general student interests. The Student Council has legislative functions while the Honor Court is the judicial body which attends to all violations of the Honor Code. Self-government by the women of the University is accomplished through the Women's Student Government Association. It has legislative and executive power in matters pertaining to decorum, exercise, and social life. The positive and constructive end which the University seeks to attain in its college government is to impress its spirit and ideals upon the young men and women who enter its halls, and to constitute them a self-governing body.

Description An account of the resource [page 19] [corresponds to page 15 of OWU "A Fountain of Good in the World" 1922] And Activities Athletics THE aim of the department of physical education to make the entire student body physically fit rather than to develop a few star athletes, has increased rather than decreased, Ohio Wesleyan's prowess in all branches of athletics. While many schools, by special effort, have been able to develop one or two branches of sports to a high standard, Ohio Wesleyan's policy has permitted her to put into the field, year after year, strong teams in all major and minor sports--football, basketball and track, tennis, gymnasium team and swimming team. To furthur encourage mass rather than individual athletic training the University has many intra-mural contests in all branches of sports between its classes, fraternities and clubs. An Enviable Record IT is interesting to know that in 1892 Ohio Wesleyan participated in and won the first intercollegiate football game played in Ohio, the first college soccer game in Ohio in 1914 and the first Ohio intercollegiate swimming match in 1917. Ohio Wesleyan has won four State Football Championships and three in Basketball. Besides winning the state relay championship three times in four years, she holds the state record in two events. Ohio High School Basketball Tournament at Delaware BELIEVING that clean sports breed American victories for the future through the training in judgment and avoidance of blunders that they give to participants, Ohio Wesleyan each year conducts the Ohio High School Basketball Tournament in her spacious gymnasium. In fourteen years this event has grown from 6 High School teams to 160 Teams and state-wide interest has increased proportionately.

Fraternities, Clubs and Organizations for All ABOUT half of the men in the student body belong to the thirteen National Greek letter fraternities, while others belong to the Commons Club and the Ohio Wesleyan Union. Each of these organizations has its own house where its members live during the four years of college life. Democracy is the keynote of the success of fraternity life at Ohio Wesleyan and membership is valued more for association and companionship than as a social distinction. There are special organizations for different Departments of Instruction--Science Clubs, the English Writer's Club, The Histrionic Club, The Philosophical Club, The Alliance Francais, The Spanish Club, The Oxford Club for prospective ministers, etc; also four honorary fraternities organized to keep up the standards of oratory, gym- nastics, journalism and music. Ohio Wesleyan is one of 89 leading American Colleges that has been granted a Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Each year at Recognition Chapel, the last chapel service of the year, undergraduates, alumni and friends listen breathlessly to hear the names of those who, by excellence in scholarship, have won the right to wear the key of this most ancient of fraternities.

Description An account of the resource [page 21] [corresponds to page 17 of OWU "A Fountain of Good in the World" 1922] Ohio Wesleyan in National Life THE country looks to its Universities and Colleges to produce men trained for leadership--not only industrial, but moral, social and physi- cal leadership. For 80 years Ohio Wesleyan has contributed to the Country and the World this well balanced trained leadership. Thirty thousand of her sons and daughters have inscribed the name "Ohio Wesleyan" high on the re- cord of professional, commercial, industrial and spiritual accomplishments. Ohio Wesleyan's unswerving purpose is to graduate young men and women of light and leading, of good character and impassioned devotion to high ideals--graduates who have the ability to serve, as well as the will to serve. Ohio Wesleyan's Contribution to Public Education RUSKIN says: "There is only one cure for public distress and that is public education." To provide public edu- cation, schools, colleges and universities need more and better teachers. During its 80 years of public service Ohio Wes- leyan has given the world thousands of men and women taught to teach. She has provided thirty College and University Presidents to such well known schools as Penn. State, Uni- versity of Kentucky, Univer- sity of Nevada, Armour In- stitute, De Pauw, Miami, Ohio Northern, Iowa Wes- leyan, Kansas Wesleyan and others equally well known. This educational influence has extended to many for- eign countries; one conspicu- ous example being Peking University, China, where President Hiram H. Lowry, '67 has exerted a powerful influence for good in the Far East. Over 400 Ohio Wesleyan Alumni are deans or Pro- fessors in Colleges and Uni- versities; upwards of 200 are High School Principals and more than 1200 are teachers in grade and high schools.

Description An account of the resource [page 22] [corresponds to page 18 of OWU "A Fountain of Good in the World" 1922] Ohio Wesleyan Ohio Wesleyan's Contribution to the Church IN Methodism, Ohio Wesleyan is aptly called "The Mother of Bishops." After Luccock and McCabe, great men whose light still shines undimmed, come Bishops Anderson, Hoss, Hughes, McConnell, McDowell and Thirkfield. Three of her Presidents, Thompson, Bashford and Welch, have been elevated to the episcopacy. For many years the late Bishop Bashford directed all Methodist missionary work in China, while Ex-President Welch is now Bishop of Korea and Japan. John R. Mott says that Ohio Wesleyan has sent out more missionaries than any other American co-educational school, yet only one-fifth of her students are preparing for religious work. The number of theological students fur- nished by the college is not surpassed by any other school. The University has given the Church upwards of one thousand ministers of the Gospel; three hundred Foreign Missionaries and hundreds of trained workers to the Y. M.C.A., Y.W.C.A., and other religious organizations. These Christian characters have made the name of America blessed in the far corners of the Earth through the message of human sympathy they bore and the lives of service they lived. Ohio Wesleyan in Political and Official Life OHIO Wesleyan has admirably met the ever present demand for virile, upstanding, God-fearing men in public life. As Senator from Indiana and Vice-President of the United States, the late Charles Warren Fairbanks, class of 1872, was an exemplar of the Ohio Wesleyan tradition of straight thinking and straight living--qualities so neces- sary in steering our Nation through its great crises into normal, well ordered life. Ohio Wesleyan has the creditable record of providing such distinguished men as Herrick, Pattison and Foraker to serve a total of five terms as Chief Executive of Ohio; in addition to Governors for six other states--Hamilton of Illinois, Elbert of Colorado, Atkinson of West Virginia, Hoyt of Wyoming, Cosgrove of Washington and Steele, the first Governor of Okla- homa. At least a dozen of the alumni have been elected to the United States Senate and House of Representatives, while many more have rendered distinguished ser- vice as Ambassadors, Minis- ters and Consuls in the foreign service.

Ohio Wesleyan Prominent in Many Lines of Endeavor OHIO Wesleyan Alumni have not only distinguished themselves in Education, Religion and Politics, but they have an enviable record of accomplishments in the fields of Business, Law, Journalism, Medicine and other Professions. Even an incomplete analysis of Wesleyan Alumni indicates 1485 successfully engaged in business enterprises such as Manufacturing, Banking, Engineering and Con- struction; 721 in Medicine and 209 in Agriculture. Space will not permit an enumeration in the hundreds who have reached the top of the ladder in these several fields of endeavor. In addition to 404 alumni engaged in the practice of Law, Ohio Wesleyan has supplied her own state with two Attorney-Generals and a Chief Justice; the United States with a Judge of the Supreme Court of Appeals; Idaho with a Chief Justice of Supreme Court, Colorado and Indiana with Judges of the Supreme Court. Besides the 228 in Government Service, 60 alumni are serving as Public Lecturers, Singers, Dramatists and Ac- tors. Of the 200 in Journalism, several are editors of Christian Advocates; Dr. George Gould of the Medical Journal; E. J. Wheeler, Editor of Current Opinion; W. F. Bigelow, Editor of Good Housekeeping; Stella V. Roderick, formerly Associate Editor of Everybody's, now Editor of The Woman Citizen; Edward Keen is Manager of the United Press for Europe and Melville E. Stone is inter- nationally known as President of the Associated Press. In the invention of the telephone, one of the greatest contributions to modern progress, Prof. A. E. Dolbear, class of 1866, is generally assigned a place as co-inventor with Alexander Graham Bell. In the development of X-Ray Photography, now so necessary in diagnosis and surgery, H. Clyde Snook, class of 1900, has played a most important part. No record of alumni accomplishments would be com- plete without including the name and good works of Frank Wakeley Gunsaulus, class of 1875. In his dual role as Pastor of the Central Con- gregational Church of Chi- cago and the founder and President of the Armour In- stitute, Chicago, he qualifies as one of Ohio Wesleyan's distinguished men in both religious and educational work. In Charles E. Jefferson, Pastor of Broadway Taber- nacle, New York City, the Congregational Church has fallen heir to another noted alumnus.

It is a complete school of Musical Culture and Learning. Its scope has been enlarged to meet the needs of a growing institution and the increasing importance of music in education. The school is organized to serve two types of students--those who expect to make music their vocation, and those seeking to broaden their general culture. The Course covers theoretical and applied music in both instrument and voice. In all musical work thoroughness of preparation rather than superficial brilliance is encouraged. With musical traditions and accomplishments extending back over 45 years--with a hundred students pursuing the full course in music and two hundred twenty-five taking music in some form or another, is it any won- der that the spirit of music permeates the entire student body. On the campus, in the fraternities, at the games or wherever young folks assemble, Ohio Wesleyan music is ever present and in demand.

This Glee Club in competition with the Clubs of Harvard, Yale and Princeton, was selected by the United States Government for a trip to Panama Canal Zone last summer. The Choral Club, a similar organization among the women, gives an annual concert in Gray Chapel. The varsity male quartet makes long tours and during the summer has been booked by Chautau- qua Circuits. The Ohio Wesleyan Band of 40 pieces is known throughout the state and is especially prominent at games played in Delaware and at neighboring colleges.

Wesleyan won. This was Harvard's first appearance on an Ohio debating floor, and the state- ment is typical of the esteem in which Ohio Wesleyan debating teams have been held for many years. During the past year she has won all ten debates in which her team has participated; sometimes on one side of the question and sometimes on the other; against leading colleges and univer- sities from Harvard, champions of the east, to Occidental, Los Angeles, champions of the west. Ohio Wesleyan's students have always received unusual training in the art of public speech. They are taught to "think on their feet," and "stick to their text." The univer- sity has insisted that its graduates shall be able to express themselves clearly, convinc- ingly and logically; a sincere effort is made to develop in every student the power of persuasive expression. The value of Debate and Oratory in the student's life work is admirably expressed by President Hoffman in the following words: "To be able to think quickly, to organize one's materials hurriedly to meet the state- ment of an opponent, to perceive clearly the fallacy of a conclusion, this is indispensible in high achievement. This quality of mind translated in statesmanship, in business, in medicine, in practical life means everywhere genius and honor and success. At Ohio Wesleyan we constantly strive to prepare citizens who are competent to make the best public sentiment, who are wise in moral and social leadership, whose poise of mind and soul is equal to any emergency. No department contributes more to this important purpose than our well-organized and splendidly equipped department of Oratory.

When it was founded in 1842, the co-education of the sexes in the higher schools of learning was practically unknown. Even at that early day the advancing sentiment of the Country was bringing women more and more prominently, not only into social life, but into public and responsible positions in the educational, religious, profes- sional and secular fields of labor. To meet this demand for higher educa- tion for daughters as well as sons, the Ohio Wesleyan Female College was established in Delaware in 1853. However, the debate for and against University Co-education continued for many years, so it was not until 1877 that Ohio Wesleyan Female College became part of Ohio Wesleyan University, and mixed classes were established. Today Ohio Wesleyan's attendance of 1600 students is equally divided between men and women.

Its halls are hung with prints of the World's great pictures, and contain many of the University's trophies and Art Treasures. It accommodates the Y.W.C.A., the Library, many class rooms and the two literary society halls, decorated in artistic style. A charter member of the oldest society was Miss Lucy Webb, the first student in the old Female Academy, and later the wife of President Ruther- ford B. Hayes.

Anderson, Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church "By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them" "THE most noteworthy thing about Ohio Wesleyan University is its output of men and women for practical leadership in the various departments of human activity. "By their fruits ye shall know them" is a standard of measurement which comes to us upon the highest authority. Adjudged by this standard the old college at Delaware stands in the very first rank. her ideals have gone out through all the earth and her men and women to the end of the world. Her sons and daughters have won the highest distinction in the classics, in science, in philosophy, in literature, in the various professions, in business, in statesmanship, in the Christian ministry and in all forms of social, philanthropic and missionary propa- ganda. To know the facts is to stand in admiration and wonderment at the human product of this institution. I suspect that one of the chief reasons to be given in explanation of the remarkable success which has attended those who have been trained here is to be found in the emphasis which has ever been placed upon the cultivation of vital religion in the program of the University. The institution itself is a monument to the spirit of sacrifice which has characterized its progenitors and builders from the beginning. This is really the birthright of Ohio Wesleyan University which has made it what it is and which is to be cherished now and through all the future years with unwavering and ever increasing appreciation. Such institutions are all too few even in America. An investment in Ohio Wesleyan University is an investment for scholarship, for truth, for broad culture, for human progress, for world betterment, for the Kingdom of God in America and to the ends of the earth."

JONES ASSISTANT TO PRESIDENT PRESIDENT BOARD OF TRUSTEES OHIO WESLEYAN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Here's the Book You've Been Looking For --- "A Fountain of Good in the World" This book has been written to acquaint friends of Ohio Wesleyan with the important work that this Christian University is doing, and especially to remind alumni and former students of the fine traditions, the remarkable accomplishments, the ideals and aims of their Alma Mater. The folders that you have received, the consistent newspaper advertising that has been carried in Ohio papers and this book are several forms of dignified advertising that your University is employing to revivify in the minds of alumni that good old "Wesleyan spirit" that means so much to all of us. This educational advertising serves as a foundation for the active work that is now in progress on the Ohio Wesleyan Development Program. As this great task calls for the active support and cooperation of all alumni and former students, the University feels it desirable that everyone should have before him a clear up-to-date picture of the great school for which he is to GIVE AND GET. You will receive, at an early date, other literature specifi- cally covering the Development Program. Sincerely yours, C. E. Hine OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY~DELAWARE, O.

Description An account of the resource [page 2] [corresponds to page 2 of Remembering OWU Sketchbook] It has been my habit over the years, to take a sketchbook wherever I go. I was encouraged by Miss Getz, an art professor at Ohio Wesleyan University. These drawings of Ohio Wesleyan and the town of Delaware span the years from 1966 to 2016. The earliest one was done when I was a student, and the others, during visits over the intervening years. The 2016 sketches were drawn when I attended my 50th college reunion.

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to page 11 of Souvenir of Forty Years] THE REUNION The appropriate preface to this souvenir book of the Ohio Wesleyan class of 1871, is the story of the '71 Reunion, which was held in Delaware, June 13, 1911. Of the original class (both of the O.W.U. and the O.W. F.C.) numbering sixty-eight, twenty-eight have died. The forty surviving members are scattered over the United States, with two in South America. We had sixteen members of the class at Delaware, and four of them brought their wives, making a '71 company of twenty. Those who were present were Mrs. Ella Downs Twitchell, Mrs. Helen Pease Merriam, Miss Delia Paine, Miss Mary Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Nye, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Woolley, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Lane, D. J. Smith, E. H. Jewitt, J. M. Wilson, C. E. Jones, W. M. Day, L. C. Black, W. P. Mc- Laughlin, and W. D. Cherington. Room No. 5 in the University Hall was the appointed place for our headquarters. Here we spent much of the day Tuesday, meeting each other, and meeting our old friends of other classes, who called to see us. An in- teresting exhibit of the earlier and later pictures of the members of our class was suspended in a paper frame that reached around the room. Our table was filled with old programs and souvenirs of our college days. At noon we found ourselves happily together at the '71 table of the great Alumni banquet, where John G. Woolley, of our class, presided and spoke as toastmaster, and William P. McLaughlin delivered one of the addresses. Both of them reflected much honor upon the class they represented. It was very interesting to meet each other, for a number of us had not met for forty years, and so great had been the changes that we did not know each other. Our '71 Reunion proper began at four o'clock. John G. Woolley was elected president, and W. D. Cherington secretary. The roll of the class was called, those present responding with the hearty freedom of the family circle; and those absent being reported by letter or verbally. We deeply regretted that many of our class could not be present. We had not program of speeches, but just the hearty good time that members of the family circle would have, after long years of separation. In the midst of our happiness, we were pained to hear of the many members of our class who have passed forever beyond the reach of earthly reunions. At five o'clock we adjourned to have a reunion picture taken on the front steps of University Hall. This picture appears in the opening pages of this book. At six o'clock we met in the parlors of the English Lutheran Church, where the ladies of that church served us a class banquet, that we shall re- member with pleasure for years to come. After the banquet we renewed the roll call, and tarried together until a late hour. The members of the class present unanimously passed the motion to publish a Fortieth Anniversary Book, and appointed W. D. Cherington as the editor, and L. C. Black, W. C. Nye, J. A. Smith and C. E. Jones as the publication committee. Fifteen members present generously subscribed ten dollars each, to start the fund for the publication of the book. We certainly all felt that we had spent a happy day together, and that in communion with those whom we had loved in our early life, we had re- newed our youth. 11 Title A name given to the resource The Souvenir of Forty Years (p. 9) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a0deb9a9e7236205c8fe27222568da12.jpg ec6f4a829711c5c3797ba97704d08787 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 10] [corresponds to page 12 of Souvenir of Forty Years] THE EDITORIAL STATEMENT Two score years ago, and for a long period earlier and later, it was the custom in the Ohio Wesleyan University, for each Junior class to issue a college publication, under such a name as the class might select. These an- nual Junior records, under a variety of names, were the forerunners of the College "Bijou," which has apparently come to stay. The Junior record of the class of 1870 was known as "The Chain." There appeared our University circles in 1910 a beautiful book, under the editor- ship of Mr. J. A. Jackson, entitled "The Chain of Forty Links." The book, published by the class of '70, has been such a delight to us all, that it gave us an inspiration for a book of like character from our class, which we earnestly trust may in turn have some influence to help the University that we all love. The Junior record of our class of 1871, passed into history as "The Souvenir." This brief historical record of the members of our class since graduation, re- ceives its name by inheritance, as "The Souvenir of Forty Years." By the appointment of the members of our class who were present at our reunion in commencement week of 1911, it has fallen to our lot to prepare the fortieth anniversary book of the class of '71. We are indebted to Mr. J. A. Jackson for many kindnesses that have helped us in this enterprise; to Dr. W. W. Davies, for much valuable information; to the University Regis- trar, for giving us access to the Alumni records; and to the University Treas- urer, for the loan of many valuable cuts of the buildings. These pages will give the present day roll of our class, with the correct present addresses of our living members, and with the addresses of the nearest relatives of our deceased members, in so far as we have been able to secure them. The reunion of our class in 1911, on the occasion of our fortieth anni- versary, was a most interesting and delightful event that is briefly told in these pages. But while this book had its birth in "The Reunion," the burden of its message reaches far beyond a single "Red Letter Reunion Day." It is definitely "The Souvenir of Forty Years" of the real life history of sixty- eight men and women who went our from the University in 1871, to belt the world 'round with their influence, and to encompass immortality itself with their living presence. Must we make defense of this book against the charge that it has a large grave-yard department in it? Not until some one shall arise who can set to music the real life story of an equal number of men and women, through a like period, without a single minor note of death to mar the "hallelujah chorus" of two score years of life. Are any of our beloved classmates grieved because the delightful life- stories which they kindly sent us, do not appear in full in these pages? This volume already exceeds the original limitations marked out for it; and it would have required a volume double its size, to have written the full history of all the events worthy of record in our noble class. Were any of the members of the class of '71 oppressed by being driven to the art galleries against their will, to meet the expectations of this book? In the coming years their children, and their children's children, will arise to call this humble editor blessed, because in many instances he confessedly 12 Title A name given to the resource The Souvenir of Forty Years (p. 10) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/bb473a016759dda4e5af4cd1191b6eda.jpg 33038338bd737e0ab2fa5507d5b433fe Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 11] [corresponds to page 13 of Souvenir of Forty Years] coerced them to place an order for the only shadows of themselves the world has seen since their graduation day. And after all, is "The Souvenir of Forty Years" only an enterprise of extravagance, without any mission? We venture the prophecy that the little offering we have made, once in a life-time, to make this little souvenir book possible, will bring as large a measure of blessing to our lives, and to the lives of others, as any offering that we have ever made, in these two score busy years. And so, under the commission of the class of '71, and greatly encouraged by their hearty co-operation, we have sought to gather the histories and the pictures of the royal men and women, who made up the diploma procession of the Ohio Wesleyan University in 1871. Sixty-eight strong we went out into the world, and through the long years since, our paths have crossed all continents and all oceans. Twenty-eight of our number have already completed the post-graduate work of earth, and have gone to receive their immortal parchments, in the great Commencement day of their eternal life. Our surviving members are living in many distant states and countries, and it has required the search ligth of the marvelous postal system of the twen- tieth century, to find them all. Pity the limitations of an editor, whose office is the growth of a night, and who is suddenly dispatched on the impossible errand of gathering the histories and the shadows of more than three score men and women, widely separated by distance and death. And know this: that however incom- plete the work may be, it has been wrought in the ardent love of the old college days, and is offered as a sincere contribution to the literature of our lives.

ALBRIGHT *RUBY J. ALBRIGHT was the youngest of all the "Boys of '71." His home was in Delaware. After his graduation he went to Europe, where he spent eighteen months in special study in Halle University. Returning to Delaware, he spent quite a time in the study of law. June 14, 1876, he was joined in marriage with Miss Adah Adams, who was a member of the O.W. F.C. class of '73. They lived for a time in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he practiced law. Returning to Delaware, he took up the work of the law there. He then moved to Selma, Ohio, where he engaged in teaching, and where his wife died March 10, 1879. Their only child is a daughter, Estella Mar- garet, whose home is in Delaware, with her maternal grandmother. After his wife's death he returned to his law work in Delaware, and later was Super- intendent of the Public Schools in Gambier, Ohio. He died at his mother's home in Delaware, July 31, 1885. Failing eyesight compelled him to give up his law practice and his teaching. The early death of his beloved wife and of others near to him, and his blindness, made our dear classmate's life full of discouragement. The entire Albright family to which he belonged, so well and favorably known in University circles, have all passed to the great beyond. THOMAS C. ANDERSON began the study of law at Portsmouth, Ohio, in December, 1872, and was admitted to the Bar in 1874. In January, 1875, he formed a law partnership, that brought him at once into a large practice. Since his graduation, he has spent his life in Portsmouth, where he is still engaged in the practice of law. In recent years, he has been actively engaged also in real estate enterprises. September 21, 1876 he was joined in marriage with Miss Ida Frances Cole, of Portsmouth. They have seven children, all living, Clifford B., Bessie L. Frederick, Martha Kate Jordan, Lollie L., Charles L., Mary E., and Hayward M. They have also three surviving grand-children, two having died in infancy.

Her homes throughout their married life were in the cities of the state to which her husband was appointed as a minister in the Ohio Con- ference. It falls to the lot of the partner of her life to write the following historical note in her memory: We had a happy life-union, covering a period of thirty-one years. November 25, 1905, from our home in Lancaster, Ohio, she crossed over to God's better country. We have had four children. The eldest and youngest were daughters, bearing the names of Eva and Minnie. God claimed them both for heaven in their infancy. Our two sons, Frank and Fred, are both graduates of the Ohio Wesleyan. Frank also graduated from Harvard University, and has been for nine years as teacher of English in the University High School of the University of Chicago. Fred graduated from the normal school of the Ohio University in 1911, and is about to enter upon the work of teaching. Our united tribute to the wife and mother of our household, is that her memory is forever sacred in our home, and in all the churches where she lived and labored. We are living in the holy evening twilight of her beautiful life, with the full assurance that we shall meet her in God's new and radiant morning. [photos] LEWIS C. BLACK LEWIC C. BLACK sends us the following statement of his life: "After graduation in 1871, I was appointed to a clerkship in the Depart- ment of the Interior at Washington, D.C. The faculty of Ohio Wes- leyan University had been offered the opportunity of nominating two mem- bers of the graduating class of 1871 to clerkships in the office of General James H. Baker, then Commissioner of Pensions. The Faculty nominated Mr. John G. Woolley and myself. I accepted and went to Washington; Mr. Woolley declined. While at Washington I matriculated in the Columbia Law College, and graduated thereform in 1873. Columbia Law College has consolidated with, and is a part of, the George Washington University, of Washington, D.C.

This partnership continued, with an intermission while Mr. Foraker was Gov- ernor of Ohio, until 1893. I married Abbie L. Lounsbury, a member of the graduating class of Mon- nett Hall, of 1870. Two children were born to us, Margaret Eleanor and Robert Lounsbury. My wife died on the twenty-eighth anniversary of our wedding, October 23, 1906.

The college records show that on the date of June 4, 1873, she was joined in marriage with Mr. Homer S. Mouser, who was a member of the Ohio Wesleyan class of 1867. Mr. Mouser was for sev- eral years Superintendent of Public Instruction for Shelby County, Illinois; and later an attorney at law, with his later and present residence at Huron, S. Dakota.

While I cannot be with you in the bodily form, my spirit ego will most assuredly hover near.

Campbell, was born in Ripley, Brown County, Ohio, March 9, 1854. After being graduated from college, she taught in the Delaware city schools, finally becoming the Principal of the East Building, until her growing deafness compelled her to give up the work in the year 1876. She was an earnest Christian from early childhood, and at this time was active in all departments of church work, being also church organist. On January 8, 1880, she was married to Mr. Charles M. Edwards, of Cin- cinnati, Ohio. Three daughters were born to them: Antoinette Campbell (Mrs. W. D. Thomson), Catherine Lefavre (deceased), and Mary Joe (Mrs. E. L. Main).

CELLAR *THOMAS J. CELLAR was born in 1827, in Delaware County, Ohio, was reared on the farm, and was largely self educated. He graduated from Ohio Wesleyan in 1871, and received the degree of A.M. in 1874. He was prob- ably the oldest member of his class, being forty-four years of age at his grad- uation. Long before he entered Ohio Wesleyan, he had taught Latin for three years in Kenyon College, had been Principal of the Mount Pleasant Academy at Kingston, Ohio, and had served his country in the Civil War, being a member of the 145th O.V.I. He was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Marion in 1866, and was pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Marseilles, Ohio. During his pastorate at Marseilles, he finished his course at Ohio Wesleyan. In 1873 he became pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Forest, Ohio, where he remained for eighteen years. He then served as pastor, successively, the churches of Rador, Radnor Township, and Prospect, where he had his last work, and where he died May 25, 1904. He was married December 28, 1859, to Eliza Harter, of Delaware County, who is still living. Six children were born to them, one son dying in child- hood. The children living are: G. A. Cellar, Supt. of Telegraph of Penn. Lines at Pittsburg; Mrs. R. M. Horn, of Prospect; Miss Elnora Cellar, of Prospect, (to whom we are indebted for our information concerning his life); Miss Martha Cellar, a trained nurse in Toledo; and Miss Anna P.

In response to our request for her history, Miss Chamberlain writes: "You want to know what I have been doing? Not much of a record, but here it is, summed up: When we first came to Kansas, I taught two terms in a [photos] MARY E. CHAMBERLAIN country school--genuine pioneering; then one year in the Eureka schools: then I was offered a position in the Humboldt schools where I taught for sixteen years. I was county superintendent for two years. After my father's death, which was the one great sorrow of my life, I was bookkeeper in a store. For several years I have devoted all my time to giving lessons in china and water color painting, and to doing order work. I am happy in my home, my friends and my work, and feel that in many ways I have been greatly blessed. I hold Delaware and the Ohio Wesleyan in great affection, for the influence and inspiration received there, have been great factors in my life. *FLETCHER B. CHERINGTON joined the Upper Iowa Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in September, 1871, and was pastor in Iowa for one year. In the fall of 1872 he was joined in marriage with Miss Carrie Reed, who was for many years the beloved partner of his life, both in India and in America. By this marriage he had four sons: Reed, now pastor of a Congregational church in California; Paul, Assistant Professor in the Col- lege of Commerce, in Harvard University; William, a business man in Los Angeles; and Howard, deceased. Returning now, in our story of his life, to the time of his marriage, it should be recorded that October 23, 1872, he and his wife sailed from New York for India, where he was a missionary, being stationed at Setapore. After four years, the rapidly failing health of his wife necessitated his return to this country, where for a number of years, he was pastor of leading churches in Kansas and Iowa.

Later he was Presi- dent of Puget Sound University, and pastor of churches in Tacoma, Spokane, San Francisco and Los Angeles. He was an eloquent preacher, beloved in the churches. A few years after his return to America his wife died. In 1888 he was joined in marriage with Mrs. Sue Durbin, a teacher in the University of Southern California, with whom he lived most hapily during the last twenty years of his life, who was his strong helper in the work on the Pacific coast.

Since his retirement he had lived in a little surburban home, where to use his own words, he "camped on the border-land of Heaven." While thus waiting at the crossing between the worlds, he sent this message to the Min- isterial Association at Los Angeles: "Tell the brethren it is more than resig- nation; it is peace, perfect peace." WILLIAM D. CHERINGTON is charged with the preparation of this book, and must be permitted to tell his personal story in the first person. In the autumn of 1871 I entered Drew Theological Seminary, where I graduated, with the degree of B.D., in May, 1873. During most of this time I served a church as a student pastor, and thus made my way through the theological school. In september, 1873, I joined the Ohio Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which I have been an active member ever since. Sep- tember 24, 1874, I was joined in marriage with Miss Mary G. Barnes, of Dela- ware, a member of the class of '71. The record of our family will be found in this book, under her name.

In the following September they removed to Defiance, Ohio, where he was the successful Superintendent of the Public Schools for three years. During this time he preached frequently where opportunity of- fered, believing that the ministry was his life-work. During one summer he filled the pulpit at Defiance, made vacant by the removal of the pastor to the west. In 1874 he joined the Central Ohio Conference of the Methodist Epis- copal Church, and was pastor of the following charges: Florida, Pioneer and Perrysburg. His ministry was very short, but was signally successful in revivals, and in adding strength to the churches. He died of typhoid fever at Perrysburg, Ohio, December 1, 1878. Shortly after his death, great revivals swept over the churches where he had labored as pastor, and these revivals were believed by the people to have been the fruits of his earnest ministry, and with the deep impression that his early death made upon the churches. His wife survives him, and is living in Columbus, Ohio.

Hope the reunion will be a success." In response to our further appeal to him to expand his history, he wrote the following: "I have nothing to add to my biography. 'My days have been passed as a tale that is told'--each much like its predecessor. While there is variety in the cases tried by a lawyer, even yet it becomes monotonous. Each im- portant trial possesses consuming interest until its end; and then the dust of forgetfulness covers the files, and matters of less moment claim the maximum of attention.

I have spent the last forty years in spelling out these life lessons, and I must say that there are some lessons that I am not able to spell yet.

Have married here, and spent nearly forty years of steady work here in my business, which is real estate and loans. About 1880, I established a State Bank, but after some ten years sold my interest in it, and continued business alone as a matter of preference.

He was with us at the reunion, in such vigor of body and such heartiness of brotherly spirit that it was a delight to meet him. Since the reunion he has written us: "The day spent at Delaware was a record-breaker with me. I never enjoyed a better day." ALICE KENNEDY was a member of the O.W.F.C. class of 1871.

October 16, 1878, I was married to Mr. F. H. Whitehead, of Indianapolis, Indiana.

In 1892, we came to the farm in Delaware County, where we still reside. Our little family of seven children, five daughters and two sons, came to bless our union. Two of them, a son and a daughter, have been called to the great beyond; and one daughter is an invalid and helpless, and I am her sole nurse, and never leave her.

In the fall of 1871 he entered the Central Ohio Conference, and has filled many of its leading appointments. After completing his Conference course of study, he studied under Professor William Rainey Harper, and later re- ceived the degree of Ph. B.

In the recent great revival at Defiance she was instrumental in bringing nearly half a hundred souls to Christ. Six children have been born to them. All are living but the second son. a bright young lawyer. The oldest son is a Cincinnati dentist. The third son is an electrical engineer in Washington, D.C. The youngest son is in the last year of the high school at home. The oldest daughter is a teacher of pipe-organ and piano in the Ohio Northern. The second is Mrs. Clyde J. Hull, of Fostoria, Ohio. These are all active Christians. Dr. Lance, during the last thirty years, has written many important ar- ticles for the church papers, in discussion of great church questions. He has also been a writer for the secular and scientific press. He is a charter trustee of the Ohio Northern University, president of the Board of Trustees of his own Conference, and has represented his Conference in the General Confer- ence. He was deeply disappointed that a very important meeting of the church prevented him from being at the Reunion, and he expresses his ardent love for "the whole '71 bunch." EUGENE LANE gives the following summary of his life: "One of the first events of my life after my graduation, was the develop- ment, or rather culmination of a romance that had been pursued under the eyes of my classmates--and others--for six months.

PAINE contributes to our '71 book the following story of her life: "When I first began to think seriously of coming to the fortieth reunion of my class, I felt like a scarred veteran returning from the wars, but, as soon as my feet really pressed the soil of my Alma Mater and I saw the old fa- miliar faces once more, I felt like a school girl again, more even than on the day when I held my diploma in my hand; for I was one who left the halls of my Alma Mater broken in health, destined to struggle through years of ill health and discouragement, until I learned to obey Nature's laws and to apply them to every day life. For many years I made my home in a sani- tarium, because I could not live anywhere else. Fortunately there were times when I could make excursions to the various cities of the United States, thus keeping in touch with art, music, and the drama, and most of all with the bonhommie of the life of the world. Experience is a hard teacher, but many of the severe trials of life, if rightly met, prove to be blessings in disguise; and now the clouds of doubt and discouragement are passing away, and the silver lining appears to me in the shpae of a health that is based more upon self knowledge and mental poise than upon physical vigor. We must first learn to help ourselves before we can learn to help others, and while my life has not been as full of physical activities as those of most of you, my sym- pathies have been broadened by my experiences, and I have done what good I could do in passing. What does it matter where our lot has been cast, if only 54 Title A name given to the resource The Souvenir of Forty Years (p. 52) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/348ff3cd7e232c9ee0f96606dbdf624f.jpg 70196f29f5eebae4907c5c26e296ee76 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The next two or three years were spent in Greenfield, Ohio, as superintendent of the public schools. He was married in 1874 to Miss Fannie Allen, of Greenfield, who died a year later. In 1878 he became a member of the bar and located at Jackson, Ohio. In the same year he was elected to the Ohio legislature and was re- elected in 1880. In 1879 he was married to Miss Cornelia Dickason, of Jackson, who survives him. The later years of his life were spent upon the family estate at Hamden, Ohio, where he died September 20, 1883, at the age of thirty-nine. He left two children, a daughter, now Mrs. Edward Newell, of Bristol, Indiana, and a son, James B. Paine, Jr., who resides with his mother at Jack- son, Ohio. James B. Paine was one of the intellectually strong men of our class. As a member of the House of Representatives, he was stalwart for temperance and righteousness.

Dr. Warner graduated from the Ohio Wesleyan University in 1871, from Drew Theological Seminary in 1873 and later from a medical college, the University of the City of New York. He became a minister in the Newark Conference of New Jersey, and in the North Ohio Conference, and occupied several charges until 1887, when he became a professor of English Literature in Baldwin University, of Berea, Ohio. He later became president of that institution, occupying that position until 1899, when he resigned and took post-graduate work at the Philadelphia Polyclinic. "In 1902 he moved to Cleveland, and the same year was elected a mem- ber of the Ohio State Senate, serving a term of two years. He then resumed the practice of medicine in Cleveland. "In 1976 Dr. Warner married Mabel DeWitt, daughter of a physician of Harmony, New Jersey. To them were born two children, Faith and Carl. The daughter married R. B.

We present the following address on "The Spring," delivered by John G. Woolley of '71, at the Alumni Banquet, June 13, 1911: "Passing through Delaware on the train some time ago, with my senti- mental spectacles fixed on the changed but still familiar sky line where the University buildings seemed to be conferring, with portentious eaves ad- vanced, among the naked branches of the campus grove--like a petrified Faculty meeting; I heard one boy ask another, in the seat just back of mine, 'Say, what is the O.W.U.?' The answer fell with a thud of barbarian brev- ity and finality: 'Aw, it's nothing but a spring." Whereupon, straightway, I forgot the architecture and, without preju- dice, the Faculty, with all the visible grandeur and solemnity appertaining, and let the lead-line run through the fingers of my memory. And sure enough, it gave no sign of anything substantial underlying the famous institution, until it splashed into the spring and gave back a faint, far-away, sulphuretted hydrogen atmosphere that justified the young cynic's irreverent summary, dispelled the odor of old midnight oil and set me saying to my diplomaed and degreed self-consciousness: 'He's right; it's a spring.' And I reckon that if we old gray-beards and young men and women who sit around these tables, could now and here detach ourselves from the arte- riosclerosis of ancient conversations and the plaster bandages of present af- fectations, and concentrate our liberated minds upon a personal definition of the noble foundation in whose name we were christened in the family of let- ters, and at whose beheset we have assembled here today, our simple, honest thoughts would discover us to be naive and adventurous Ponce De Leons, following through the storm and shine of strenuous years the sense of water softly dripping from the brim of a low, marble basin into a shallow rivulet, that glides away without a sound, as befits the survitor of our greatness. "From every coign of unaffected contemplation, the careless caricature appears to have a core of solid characterization. And the meaning of this anniversary, in both its lighter and its graver harmonies, from the initial ac- tion of the committee down to these culminating moments of affectionate communion, can be expressed most simply and most perfectly by the oldest and friendliest college salutation that any of us can remember, 'Come on, let's go to the spring.' "This fascinating pile, considered part by part, or in its splendid total, was always and is yet the spring, and other appertaining epiphanies. For all the glorious eloquence of Bishop Thomson, the snow-capped loftiness of Doctor Merrick, the tropical luxurience of Doctor McCabe, the deadly certi- tude of Professor Williams, the blood-curdling gentleness of Professor Per- kins, the terrible smile of Professor Whitlock, the immanent, and (God for- give me) inopportune ubiquity of Mrs. Donelson; for all the works of faith of the great church concerned, and all the labors of love, and lesser matters, in the student body, just a spring. No fountain playing in duress of pipes or engines or hydraulic rams, nor any mere emblem of moral, mental, or mar- ital beginnings, but a pool where cosmic reservoirs of the oxygen and hydro- gen of vitality, culture, character and power utter themselves to refresh and enrich the seeded acreage of youthful life.

"That was an astonishing stroke of prophetic scholarship in Isaiah, to open his great exhortation into higher lines of thought and action with the univented chemical symbol for water, 'Ho, every one that thirsteth.' And all the cumulative analogies in vegetable, animal, intellectual and spiritual evolution tend to corroborate the suggestion that we were and are in the true order of progress in beginning, continuing and ending our college courses at the spring. Events, too, are thoroughly and rapidly bringing general social and political reinforcements to the idea. As a nation drinketh, so it is, from liver to imagination. The call of the Ohio Wesleyan University has always been directed sub- stantially, like that of the eloquent old Hebrew, to 'every one that thirsteth.' A desire for the more abundant life was always her fundamental requirement. The entrance examinations were not severe. The conditions of promotion were never hard. But ever the lines have fallen in very unpleasant places for the youth whom our Faculty found wanting in a healthy thirst for the living well of worthy development. "There may have been great changes here, as elsewhere, since my time. But many of us are witnesses that up to '71--whatever may have happened afterward in the evolutionary variation and distribution of pedagogic species, or as we may say, freaks, our Alma Mater has never felt constrained to apol- ogize for her existence to the Doctors of Philosophy whose methods are so scientifically thin and hollow-ground as to make the vulgar work of meeting classes a condescension and a bore. "We should no doubt have been the better for some better laboratories, in our day, for more training in the use of the library, for more liberty to differ from our preceptors about the tariff and divine fore-knowledge. In a word, we might have been gaited better for speed on the road we were to travel. But, after all, the great thing was that we should get a sense of the road itself. To bring us on sturdily in the great relay race of vital philoso- phy, through the garden of Epicurus to the hut of Epicetus, then on through the Academy of Plato and the Lyceum of Aristotle to the cross of Christ, was the almost fierce concern of our great mother. Among the colleges of our time, this was one of the great schools of the orientation. Many a boy entered upon his journey-work through the doors of this machine-shop with a kit that was none too good. But not one struck the road without a chance of knowing well the lay of the land and the points of the compass. "The primary doctrine of Aristotle, that a conquering man must first of all grasp the social and religious bigness of the sceme of life, was never held more nakedly or tenaciously than it was in this University. And the fruits in justification of the philosophy were never grown in relatively greater measure than in the personnel of our alumni. I do not brag. I exclude my- self from the generalization, but I speak the simple truth in saying, that if possibly on analysis, we might rank below the highest in specialized and fa- mous scholarship, yet in the staple, stable vision and ability, without which mere learning is 'wood, hay and stubble,' our mother is one of the Cornelias 71 Title A name given to the resource The Souvenir of Forty Years (p. 69) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/7d497493f160f484046cb61d648503fe.jpg 8876ae76e3c2f5aa590dc2d5a443513c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"So, my head would speak, and more, to you, at length if there were time. Now let my heart alone conclude. The sentiments aroused in me by this reunion are not born of the event. They have run steadily in my blood these forty years. My life has been busy and stormy, and our ways have been wide apart. But I have loved this fellowship and wished for it through everything. During the last year especially, in the place of my work beyond the sea, I have felt that I simply must come up with you today. I am too thankful for mere words that it was possible. The security of long life seems better for it. And I seem able to look forward to some June day in 1921 (when I shall be in double import in the seventy-one class), when I shall say to a beautiful gray old lady at my side: 'Come, deer, let's go to the spring.'" 72 Title A name given to the resource The Souvenir of Forty Years (p. 70) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/67b6aaa79af78d56b1926bfbb00fdd8e.jpg 868f51e4681030c6766ad1d845329bef Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Millard F. Warner was the historian of our O.W.U. class. We reprint here the following interesting exhibit, concerning the men of the class at the time of our graduation. This does not include three of our men who grad- uated with the class, but were not actively with us in our college life. We regret also that it does not include our O.W.F.C. members. A like exhibit for them would be full of interest. But we presume that our his- torian, in that early day, had not the courage to undertake that part of the work.

Beeghly Library provides for access to knowl- edge. Its four floors, representing an area of 105,000 square feet, are spacious and open, but careful placement of bookshelves and furniture creates small, well-delineated study areas on each floor. Each study area contains the books needed by a specific academic discipline in addition to adequate study carrells and lounge facili- ties to accommodate students using that particular section of the library. For example, one large study area located on the third floor is designed to house the many books associated in the broadest sense with the humanities. A student working in the general disci- pline of the humanities can go to the open stacks in this area to find the books he needs and then return to adjacent tables or carrells to do his studying or research. Similar study areas are spaced throughout the library. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, the openness of Beeghly Library gives the building a flexibility which will keep it functional for years to come. Column spacing in the library's stacks permits them to be turned in any required direction. Thus, individual study areas can be made larger or smaller as a changing academic pro- gram or new library servicing techniques might dictate. Air conditioned throughout, Beeghly Library houses more than a third of a million volumes (books, periodicals, and pamphlets) as well as microcards, microfilm, microprint, and other instructional media. In addition, the library serves as a depository for Federal government documents. The total cost of Beeghly Library, including furnishings, was $2,110,668. Title A name given to the resource L. A.

Description An account of the resource [page 10] [corresponds to unlabeled page 10 of Beeghly Library] [half of map of OWU campus; the next page contains the other half of the map] Beeghly Library, located on University Avenue, realized the initiation of a plan to unite Ohio Wesleyan's Residential Campus with its East Campus. The building's covered entry, landscaped ter- race, and paved plaza were designed as part of a pedestrian mall to be construc- ted on University Avenue when the two campuses are eventually joined. The brick, limestone, and granite used for the library's exterior were chosen be- cause of their visual relationship with the exterior materials of existing build- ings: red brick on the Residential Cam- pus, and stone on the East Campus. Ohio Wesleyan gratefully recognizes the cooperation it received from the people of Delaware in securing the site for Beeghly Library, and extends special thanks to Mr. Jack Florance and Mr. Harry Humes for serving as co-chairmen of a Delaware Citizens' Committee.

The year will be historically significant in unique measure as the year in which beautiful L. A. Beeghly was placed in service. I venture to suggest that no other university of our kind and size in America will have a more prideful addition to its educational facilities this year. The library represents a giant step into the future. There is enclosed a dedicatory brochure which pictures and describes the library. Such a publication can only hint at educational dimensions inherent in a building of this kind, with its wonderful facilities for independent study and its extensive audio and visual equipment. I invite you -- indeed, I urge you -- to visit the campus soon to see at first hand the beauty and the promise of this handsome campus addition. An outpouring of generosity by the principal donor, together with a similar degree of devotion from many alumni and friends of the University, have made this library possible. On behalf of all of us, and especially on behalf of the students today and the thousands to come, I wish to express heartfelt gratitude. May you visit us soon! Sincerely, Elden T.

The college graduates in the United States throughout her history have averaged one to seven hundred and fifty of the adult male popu- lation. And yet from this small fraction of our people have come thirty-two per cent of all our Congressmen, forty-six per cent of our Senators, sixty-five per cent of the Presidents, and seventy-three per cent of the Judges of the Supreme Court. Putting this striking fact in another form, college training has increased the young American's possibilities of reaching the House of Representatives three hundred and fifty-two times; of reaching the Senate five hundred and thirty- nine times; of reaching the Presidency thirteen hundred and ninety-two times; and of reaching the Supreme Court of the United States, two thousand and twenty-seven times. Examining in a similar manner the fifteen thousand one hundred Who's Who and forty-two Americans whose names appear in the Encyclopedia of American Biography as having reached eminence throughout our history, President Thwing finds that a college education has multiplied the possibilities of young men reaching fame four hundred and three fold. Examining the college record of the six thousand and twenty-nine Americans whose names appear in Who's Who in America, we find that a college educa- tion increases the possibilities of young men reaching success today one thousand and forty-three fold.

The larger advantages of college-bred young men today are due to the improvements in modern education, and also to the fact that while the ratio named above holds good of our entire history as a nation, nevertheless the ratio of college graduates has been rapidly increasing during the last quarter of a century until they now number one in ninety-one of men twenty-one years of age and over. 2 Title A name given to the resource Bulletin of Ohio Wesleyan University (p. 4) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b4c4679bc26e3c7a147bf15c576ea813.jpg 3394920a8c871263197f453162840c41 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to page 3 of OWU Bulletin 1901] Not more striking, but perhaps more surprising is the fact that a similar study of the educational advantages of the known millionaires in the United States shows that the college graduates have furnished four hundred and forty times as many men of wealth as their numbers entitle them to. In other words, if a young man is aiming only at material success, the discipline of a college gives him four hundred and forty times as many possibilities of becoming rich as his untrained brother enjoys. To summarize the In the Hall of external advantages of a higher education in a sentence we may say that a college education increases a Fame. young American's possibilities of winning influence and gaining distinction as an author, teacher, preacher, physician, lawyer, statesman, business man, inventor, reformer, from three hundred and fifty to two thousand fold. But these are only the advantages which can be measured by wordly standards. How immeasur- able are the advantages of an education to the man himself! One's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. Education, as the word implies, means the development of all one's faculties to the highest power. It aims at character, as well as scholarship. It insures the highest preparation for life on one's own part, and for service for his family, his country, and his God. The difference between barbarism and civilization is the difference between a life of the sense and a life of faith. The barbarian lives from hand to mouth; the civilized man treats the harvest of today as the seed-corn for tomorrow. So the heedless and indifferent young people of our land are living chiefly for a good time today; those who are seeking education are preparing themselves for the services and the blessedness of the morrow and of the new century now begun. Young people of America who take themselves at all seriously will not fritter away their oppor- An Open Door. tunities.

Long before the University was dreamed of, Delaware was noted for beauty and for health. The rolling ground, the mild climate and the healing waters made this spot the headquarters for rest and recreation of the Delaware Indians after they had been driven from their eastern home. The first white settlers soon learned that the fame of the sulphur springs rested not on Indian legend but on established facts. The famous White Sulphur Spring on the College Campus is only one among many of the springs within easy distance. The spring abounds in romantic associations, one of the most interesting of which is the fact that at this spot young Rutherford B. Hayes first met Lucy Webb, the first girl admitted to the College classes. Delaware, originally known only as a watering-place but now far-famed as a college town, is grown Location. to a city of eight thousand inhabitants. It is located twenty-three miles north of COlumbus, very near to the exact geographical center of the state. Three railroads--two divisions of the Big Four (Cleveland to Cincinnati, and Springfield to Delaware), the Hocking Valley, and the Sandusky Short Line, besides an inter-urban trolley line now being built from Columbus through Delaware to Marion--make it easy of access from every direction; while electric cars and lights, the new system of heating buildings and residences by a central hot-water plant, the modern sewer system now being constructed, shady streets, good schools, churches, and beautiful homes make it an almost ideal dwelling place. The College grounds embrace the fine rolling Campus in the heart of the city, the beautiful Mon- Campus and nett Campus in the west end, and the picturesque Observatory Park and Merrick Glen, forty-three Buildings. acres in all. 5 Title A name given to the resource Bulletin of Ohio Wesleyan University (p. 7) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/f6025021088f79aaf2753a4d27863bb2.jpg 56aa9471e406165ee13e623b9b904b0e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Twenty-two thousand students have been in attendance since 1844. The rapid recent growth of the University is shown by the fact that more students completed courses and received degrees from 1889-00 inclusive than during the preceding forty-six years. The University, including the College of Physicians and Surgeons, has conferred degrees upon 4,263 persons. Her graduates include over one thousand physicians, over five hundred ministers and more than one hundred missionaries, some three hundred and fifty lawyers, fifty editors, two hundred college presidents and professors, nearly four hundred teachers in the public schools, and over fifteen hundred persons engaged in various business occupations or in home duties.

The same is undoubtedly true, in a measure, of some American universities. But statisticians tell us that, while of all the young men of America only one in twenty is a Christian, yet of the college young men one in three is a Christian. And in institutions like the Ohio Wesleyan, where religion is given its rightful preeminence, the Christian young men outnumber all others more than four to one. 26 Title A name given to the resource Bulletin of Ohio Wesleyan University (p. 28) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/8a0da61386ba7a2f1560838caf02c25c.jpg 3bb04c42b4c1e3276a1d346b987a4ccc Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We need scarcely add that the University requires every student who enters her portals to bring a certificate of good character, and also, if he comes from another college, a letter of honorable dismissal; and she reserves the right to terminate her relations with a student at any time, when the authorities are convinced that his influence is harmful to other students, or that his continuance is unprofitable to himself.

The profound religiousness of men is evidenced in nothing more emphatically than in the fact that vital godliness is more prevalent among the educated than among the illiterate; and in the additional fact that in the University the ordinary means of grace, including the daily worship in Gray Chapel and the weekly church services and the montly lectures by the President and the annual revival meetings, beginning with the Day of Prayer for colleges, are not sufficient to satisfy the demand. The University has been obliged to offer elective courses in the Bible, both in English and in the original languages. And in addition the students, of their own accord, have organized classes for special study of the Bible; class prayer-meet- ings are held; and the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. both are maintained in vigorious condition, with a paid Y.M.C.A. secretary supported by the students and faculty and devoting his whole time to the work of the Association. The religious life is the normal life, and if all but a small minority pf the gradutes of the University are professing Christians it is due to normal influences and conditions. 28 Title A name given to the resource Bulletin of Ohio Wesleyan University (p. 30) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/731c4d874164afd8a8c6ed9c8991b757.jpg e5242ddbbc2bce3704b5c3d116fa58ad Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

When these blanks are properly filled, they afford a better knowledge of the student's acquirements than examinations can reveal. Hence such certificates are accepted in lieu of examinations, so far as the work in quantity and quality corresponds with the work required for admission. Advance work brought from another college is accepted in the same manner, so far as it is satisfactory to the professor in charge of the department in which such work is offered.

Prospective teachers will recognize in this new course one more advantage added to those which they already enjoy in being brought into daily contact with instructors who have reached eminence in the teacher's profession and whose examples are an incalculable help and inspiration. Moreover, all the studies pursued by candi- dates seeking preparation for teaching are credited on the books of the University, and at any later date these credits can be counted toward a degree, if the teachers should decide to complete a college course. Hundreds of young people who came to the University for a later course of study, not dream- ing that a degree was within their reach, have found themselves by unexpected opportunities or else by gradual achievements able to complete a college course and thus to fit themselves for lofty service in their chosen profession. 4. SPECIALIZATION. The offer of so many electives is an encouragement to specialization. And we owe it to young people to remind them that all educators advise against haste in entering upon technical or professional studies and insist upon a preliminary course in the so-called liberal arts. Indeed, the technical and professional schools are discouraging more and more the admission to their courses of any except college graduates. Following this consensus of opinion and our own convictions born of experience, we have not made preparation for that superficial education which results from excessive specialization. We insist that the graduates of the University lay broad and deep foundations of general culture. Upon the other hand we recognize the desire of students, who have decided upon their professions, to select studies which will advance them in their preparation for life. Again, elective courses enable students who have not yet selected their future work to secure, along with their general culture, special training in those subjects for which they have tastes and talents. Hence in the three courses open to our students, and in the relative amounts of prescribed and elective work fixed upon, we have tried to 37 Title A name given to the resource Bulletin of Ohio Wesleyan University (p. 39) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/ad2f8a5deaedefbe56ca339c51cb39df.jpg 8b076bc703f3b30d6886e71337f9629a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Academic Department. JOHN H. GROVE, A.M., Principal. A person fifteen years old, of good moral char- acter, and with sufficient knowledge to enter the classes organized, will be admitted to the Aca- demic Department. In admitting students, the Princiapl learns by personal questions, but without formal examination, what preparation the candidate is seeking and what studies he can profitably pursue, and assigns him to classes accordingly. The Principal reserves the right of ad- vancing the pupil or of placing him in lower classes, as his recitations reveal his needs.

Besides, young people doing their preparatory work at Delaware, enjoy many advantages of the University, associate with classmates moving toward the same goal, and feel the inspiration of college life. III. The School of Business. LYCURGUS L. HUDSON, A.M., Principal. The School of Business affords and excellent training for a practical career, and also opportunities for business training upon the part of those who are completing the college courses. It embraces courses in Bookkeeping, Banking and Business Practice, Commercial Law, Commercial Arithmetic, Stenography, Typewriting and Correspondence, Penmanship and Telegraphy. The course of study is equal to that offered by any modern business college, and the student in addition enjoys all the advan- tages of the University. This department has had a remarkedly rapid growth under its present efficient Principal and his able corps of five assistants. Many students are here securing rapid prepara- tion at small expense for successful business careers; while professional students are securing that practical training which will insure them the respect and co-operation of successful business men. The department is open throughout the year and students can enter it at any time. For special catalogue address the Principal. IV. The School of Oratory. ROBERT I. FULTON, A.M., Dean.

The schools seeks attainments rather than numbers. It confers degrees only upon college graduates, thus maintaining a standard equal to the highest professional schools, a standard not maintained by any other school of oratory in the land. It aims to fit its pupils for the large and increasing demand for cultivated teachers of oratory in schools and colleges; and to prepare ministers, lecturers, elocutionists and lawyers for greater influence and usefulness in the higher walks of life. The instruction is given by principles which are applied from the first lesson, thus making the student's work practical throughout. All attempts to make form take the place of fact, and art the place of truth, are discouraged. The exercises are prescribed for the purpose of freeing nature's avenues of expression and of enabling the student to present with clearness and grace and power the convictions which he holds. The enrolment [sic] in the School of Oratory for the present college year will include more than two hundred separate students. The rapid growth of the school is due to the reputation of the Dean and the excellence of the teachers employed to assist him in his work and to the very reasonable charges for tuition in this school, supported in part by endowments, as compared with the ordinary schools of elocution which are supported entirely by the fees of the students. This is the first school of oratory established in connection with a great university demanding the completion of a college course of study by all of its graduates, and thus taking an established rank as a real professional school.

The students in the school have an opportunity for broadening their technical training by literary culture and thus securing for themselves a recognized position in the world of letters. Full courses are offered in voice, upon the organ, the piano, the violin and all wind instruments. In addition to such technical training thorough courses in Theory, Harmony, and the History of Music are offered. Among the advantages of the school are the privilege of membership in the Choral Society, open to competent students; the privilege of participa- tion in Commencement Concerts given by the Choral Society and by eminent artists; practice in ensemble playing; the privilege of attending weekly lectures in musical esthetics, recitals by advanced pupils, concerts given by the members of the Faculty of the School of Music and chamber and solo concerts given by distinguished artists from abroad. These privileges, with the use of the reading- rooms and the libraries of the University and participation in University life, add peculiar attractions to the study of this noble art in the School of Music in the Ohio Wesleyan University.

It marks a most important advance in the evolution of the University. We need only explain that the College of Physicians and Surgeons is located at Cleveland rather than Delaware because of the necessity for large clinical advantages which can be adequately supplied only in a great city. The students of our Medical Department have extraordinary advantages in that while they share in the clinics of the City Hospital, the Faculty of the College of Physicians and Surgeons own and control the Cleveland General Hopsital, so that the students of our College enjoy exclusive use of its clinics. More than eight hundred patients were treated in ward in the General Hospital in 1900, besides more than eight thousand cases in the Free Daily Dispensary. There were also twenty-seven students in the Training-School for Nurses. The combined clinics of the two hospitals are unsurpassed by any other medical college in the country, and bring yearly additions to the senior class from other medical schools in Ohio and even from medical schools in Michigan, New York, and Philadelphia. The Faculty of the College of Physicians and Surgeons is composed of nearly fifty of the leading physicians in Cleveland, some of whom, although young, have established a national reputation by their researches. No physician is kept in the faculty simply upon his great reputation either as a practi- tioner or as an investigator; but every member of the Faculty attends conscientiously to his duties as an instructor and comes in personal contact with the students in their personal investigations under his directions.

The information given here is intended to indicate only in outline the various scales of expenditure of students. For the benefit of young men and young women who desire fuller details, the University has recently issued two leaflets entitled "What it Costs a Young Man at Ohio Wesleyan University" and "Expenses at Monnett Hall." These cover almost every point of inquiry. The former is of value to persons who are concerned about the matter of self-support. Either leaflet will be mailed on request. Honor Gradu- Any young man, or young woman, who completes the course of study in the community in which ates from he or she resides, and is designated by the Principal of the High School or the Superintendent of High Schools. Schools as the first honor student in the graduating class, is entitled to a Free Scholarship in the Ohio Wesleyan University during his college course. This Honor Scholarship is granted to only one graduate each year of each school applying for it. If the High School offers two or more courses of study, the Principal selects the honor graduate from the course which offers the best preparation for entrance to college. The Free Scholarship covers the tuition for the entire four years' course at college, but does not cover the incidental or laboratory fees. The printed form, officially signed, will be forwarded at once on application to the President.

The Ohio Wesleyan University possesses property in build- ings, grounds, endowment funds, etc., valued at $1,- 357,000; its professors are paid in part by the income of the endowment. Every student attending the University enjoys his full share of all benevolent contributions which have been made to it. It is conducted not for the purpose of making money, but to dispense the benefactions of generous donors. The total tuition, incidental and laboratory fees paid by the students meet scarcely more than one-third of the total expenses of the University each year. Hence for every dollar which a student pays in fees the University places nearly two dollars by the side of it and expends the three dollars for the benefit of the student. It is no disparagement to private schools to say that they cannot offer their students the advantages which an institution endowed as is the Ohio Wesleyan affords. 50 Title A name given to the resource Bulletin of Ohio Wesleyan University (p. 52) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/20246cdaccae58b8e0586ffefb8f9051.jpg a9ad84e6d4b184ba338947e4f2b9cca0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 53] [corresponds to unlabeled page 51 of OWU Bulletin 1901] It is somewhat difficult to estimate the expenses of a young person in college, because the cost of Necessary living varies with the habits, tastes and financial ability of people. To a large number of students, the Expenses. cost of an education is not a matter of consideration; they have parents or friends who are more than willing to pay the bills, if they will only do the work. To a larger number, the question of cost is a more serious problem; for their parents or friends are unable to pay more than a portion of the expense, and they must supplement their limited income with earnings from day to day or during vacations. To very many others, the most serious problem is that of expense; they are without income or assistance from parents or friends, and are wholly dependent upon their own endeavors. To this self-dependent class have belonged hosts of men and women whose names are among the immortals--Ralph Waldo Emerson who blacked the boots of the President of Harvard College, and Martin Luther who sang in the streets for pay. The cost of living in Delaware is not high; it is much less than in a city. Indeed, one of the Item by Item. advantages of residence in Delaware is that it is within thirty-five minutes of Columbus by any one of three railway routes, with a trolley line projected, and at the same time retired enough for quiet study and wholesome recreation and fullness of life at a reasonable expense. Some conception of the total expense of the University, aside from the cost of clothing and traveling, may be formed by the follow- ing itemized estimates: Incidental fee, per term . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$8.00 to $12.00 Scholarship, per term . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.33 to 5.00 Table board in private family, per week . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 to 3.00 Table board in club, per week . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.75 to 2.50 Self board, per week . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.00 to 1.25 Furnished rooms for two persons, each person per week . . . . .50 to 1.25 51 Title A name given to the resource Bulletin of Ohio Wesleyan University (p. 53) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/19f34c8db859e18b7b4dd28a681a11f5.jpg b9edc96077b4e1fc5980a42cc2385097 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Measurement It is vastly better to attend any school where there are earnest teachers and ambitious pupils of Values. struggling for an education than to remain unfitted for the work of the twentieth century. But there are varying values in education as there are varying values in clothing or lands. The lowest priced goods are seldom the cheapest. To determine the value of institutions of learning, compare the original cost of an education with the value of the advantages offered by each. The chief cost of an education is not in the money which one pays for tuition, but in the value of the time spent at the college. You have only one youth in which to secure preparation for a lifetime of service to the world. Can you afford therefore, for the sake of a slight difference in tuition, to spend your golden years of preparation in a college destitute of the equipments necessary for educational work, and lacking in funds with which to command the ablest teachers, when a slight increase in expenditures will secure the enjoyment of all the advantages which come from more than a million dollars in buildings and equip- ments and endowments? 52 Title A name given to the resource Bulletin of Ohio Wesleyan University (p. 54) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/f372a27e127e903eaaf8be60a001811a.jpg c0d9709e807143ed13f8db1373324669 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Three of our students recently completed graduate courses at Yale, where they were brought into competition with graduates from the leading colleges in the land. Yet two of our three graduates secured special recognition based upon scholar- ship. Seven of our graduates were enrolled in Harvard recently, four of whom secured special recognition for their scholarship. Five of our graduates have recently studied at Johns Hopkins in competition with three hundred graduates from the leading colleges of the land. Three of them won fellowships of $500 each offered to the twenty best students in the University. Five of our graduates completed the theological course in the Boston University recently in a class of forty-six. Our five representatives secured two of the four honors awarded on graduation day. The Theological School of Boston University and Drew Theological Seminary have recently established fellowships for foreign study. Our graduates have won nearly half of these fellowships, although they number less than one- tenth of the students in these schools.

Too much is at stake to allow options to the capricious incompetence of novices. The Higher Education will lead off in the future as it has in the past whenever the race has fronted a crisis. The Higher Education achieved th conquest of England under William of Normandy, and became a godsend to the English people. It was the Higher Education that unified the English in the fourteenth century, when Wyclif and Chaucer taught England her tongue of melodious energy with which to order the march of later ages. The Higher Education swung Germany out from the sinister paternalism of the papacy into the free activities of adult life. The same power lifted Scotland up among the princes of thought. Not otherwise was it when the Oxford students of the last century helped God turn a corner in human history.

You will not fail to apply the true criterion of power when you think of Athens, which may be covered with the finger tip, or of Judea, the tiny fulcrum upon which a divine lever was laid for the uplift of whole ages, for Pericles and Plato still eye the world from the little city of Greece, and David and his Greater Son still calm the world's tumults from the mountain town between the river and the sea.

Description An account of the resource [page 4] [corresponds to unlabeled page 4 in OWU Choir Program] About Ohio Wesleyan Located in Delaware near the geographical center of the State of Ohio, Ohio Wesleyan University has for over one hundred years occupied a distinguished place among the educational institutions of the United States. It was established in 1842 by the Methodist Church. Since its founding the Methodists have continued to maintain great interest in it, and to give financial aid to its program. The men and women of the faculty, of high character and academic training, are, first of all, good teachers. The University, which is fully accredited by the Association of American Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the National Association of Schools of Music, is regarded by graduate and professional schools as supplying a fine prepara- tion for their work. The following degrees are conferred: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Fine Arts, and Master of Arts. In the music area, majors are offered in piano, voice, organ, school music (choral and instrumental), and in an orchestral or band instrument, theory, or church music. The Department of Music is located in Sanborn Hall, a building of some seventy- five rooms. Here we find a recital hall, class rooms, rehearsal rooms for music organi- zations, practice studios, teaching studios, and the music library. The library houses, in addition to books, recordings, and orchestral, band and choral scores. The Department is organized to give instruction, not only to those majoring in music, but also to those interested in music as an avocation. The fields of study include piano, organ, violin, cello, woodwind and brass instruments, percussion, theory, compo- sition, history, and literature and appreciation of music. The music staff are gifted specialists who are performers as well as fine teachers. The instruction is geared to professional standards with a view to training majors to take an active part in the music life of their generation as performers, private teachers, college instructors, school music supervisors, church organists and ministers of music, arrangers, and conduc- tors. Choral performance has been an important activity at Ohio Wesleyan since the establishment of the Music Department in 1877. With the upsurge in choral singing in the colleges of America following the First World War, the Ohio Wesleyan Choir was founded, becoming a group dedicated to the development of a singing technique and style capable of performing the great choral masterpieces, both secular and sacred, from the Renaissance to contemporary times. Recently a distinguished New York composer and critic writing in the AMERICAN ORGANIST called it "one of America's finest stu- dent choirs." Several contemporary composers have dedicated compositions to it, and the group has given premier performances of other contemporary works as well. The Choir has made forty-seven annual tours which have taken it into all parts of the United States and Canada. This is the Choir's second trip abroad.

To those acquainted merely with Ohio Wesleyan's achievements, a statement of her handicaps doubtless comes as a surprise. The unusual prominence of her graduates, and her position of leadership in the church, in education and in national life have been attained as the result of great sacrifice, and through operating far above what could rightfully be expected from her faculty and equipment. IT COSTS SOMETHING TO HAVE UNIVERSITIES, BUT IT COSTS INFINITELY MORE NOT TO HAVE THEM.

In doing this great work she has rendered an immeasurable service to society. In making men and women, the University loses money; therefore, she must depend upon society to discharge her obligations by providing funds sufficient to enlarge her service as an educator and character moulder to a constantly increasing number of young men and women. Ohio Wesleyan's situation today might be likened to that of the fifteen-year-old boy who has suddenly attained the growth and size of a man. He has outgrown his clothes, they are giving way at the elbows and knees; and must immediately be replaced by larger ones. Ohio Wesleyan is rapidly outgrowing her facility, her buildings, her campus, and all of her facilities are seriously overtaxed. 6 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.8) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a7fc6d3bf6a9bd8520dd4d5516e48a60.jpg ecf391bc06a08c45477dc6307b483d07 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 12] [corresponds to page 10 in OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] BUILD YOURSELF A LIVING MONUMENT What These Figures Mean THE actual cost of educating a student at Ohio Wesleyan in 1921-1922 was, therefore, $330.00, of which the student paid about half, or $165.00. That means an operating deficit of $165.00 per student per year;--a total of $268,000.00, for the year 1921-1922 with an attend- ance of 1623 (which must be provided for by endowment). On this basis every student who takes the regular four-year course is entitled to feel that he or she owes the University $660.00 the day the diplomas are given out. To further increase students' fees would hinder the very purpose of this institution of higher learning which is to give the student with little or no means, as well as the well-to-do and rich, a chance for proper education. Therefore, the only alternative is to build an endowment fund with an income sufficient to cover the annual operating deficit. Making Men But Losing Money NO college or University charges students as much as it costs to give them their schooling. They no more seek to make money than do our public schools:--the public schools make up their income from taxes, while the University always has made up its deficiency, and doubtless always will, from endowment fund income. Few people realize the great difference between the annual cost of educating a student and the amount that he pays to the University. Alumni, present students and parents of students have no conception of the investment that Ohio Wesleyan makes each year in her boys and girls, for which no charge can be made. 10 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.12) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/36677edc620ecd3eca309a38a709f769.jpg 3f0b8cc5da39f419d023fd229aa824ba Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Such an investment pays perpetual dividends to you and yours and to society in general. A University such as Ohio Wesleyan is in the forefront of all objects for this type of investment, because it is a source of benevolence, as well as power.

What Interest Shall I Draw From An Investment In Ohio Wesleyan? A PROPER question, and one that should be answered to your satisfaction, in this inspiring message from William F. Anderson, Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church: "The most noteworthy thing about Ohio Wesleyan University is its output of men and women for practical leadership in the various de- partments of human activity. 'By their fruits ye shall know them' is a standard of measurement which comes to us upon the highest authority. Adjudged by this standard the old college at Delaware stands in the very first rank.

By training the minds of the young men and women of today, University professors are moulding the future of the Nation. It is a square deal that these men shall assume the great responsibility for National character moulding, yet be paid salaries that scarcely equal the pay of iron moulders in our foundries? We ask of the modern professor the exercise of the highest human attributes--conscience, high thinking, a devotion to high ideals, learn- ing, constructive talents, and the genius to teach and train the future leaders of the Nation. His value to the world is incomparable and yet he is often condemned to scarcity or even poverty, while his students go out to rewards only limited by ability and effort. Herbert Hoover declares that: "there is nothing our people should so generally resent as the fact that their sons and daughters are to receive the basic formation of their character and intelligence at so great a sacrifice as is now being imposed on those upon whom we must depend to create our whole national character." In attempting to attract the best type of instruction talent to the University and to uphold the traditionally high standards of education, Ohio Wesleyan like other denominational colleges, is in direct com- petition with industry which offers such high salaries to able men. Even though older professors, through long association with the University, their keen interest in the work and their loyalty to the cause of higher education, remain at great sacrifice to themselves and families, yet the call of business is making serious inroads upon the ranks of the younger generation of university teachers. 13 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.15) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/7d56eac8a2b06c852313b8bec38b3bce.jpg 0201ee2357da15a352ae907170a4a2f0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 16] [corresponds to page 9 in OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] BUILD YOURSELF A LIVING MONUMENT Is This Good American Justice? THERE has recently been much discussion regarding the "living wage." Whatever it is, we can safely say that some university professors are not getting it. Unless a professor has an independent income, or earns some money by writing and other activities outside of his University work, he often has to travel a rough road financially. Note well, that the average annual salary of the members of the Ohio Wesleyan faculty is $2286.00, a wage of about $7.00 per day. On the other hand, consider those carpenters, bricklayers, plasterers and other craftsmen whose period of preparation is only a fractional part of the years required to become a good professor, and yet who receive $10.00 for an eight-hour day. The $4,000,000 instruction endowment will enable the trustees of Ohio Wesleyan to increase the average annual income of her teaching force from $2286 to $3075. This university must be more generously supported by men of affairs with conscience and broad foresight. Not as a matter of charity or giving but as a broad business enterprise that will help Christian edu- cation win the race against world disaster. An Instruction Endowment: The Only Way Out An endowment of $4,000,000 safely invested will net the University about $200,000 annually, no more than enough to: (a) Insure the faculty a living wage.

Description An account of the resource [page 17] [corresponds to page 15 in OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY Shall Wesleyan's Doors Be Barred to Students of Moderate Means? IN "The Bonnie Brier Bush," the schoolmaster says to Drumsheugh: "Ye think that a'm asking a great thing when I plead for a few notes to give a puir laddie a college education. I tell ye, man, a'm honoring ye and givin' ye the fairest chance ye'll ever hae o'winning wealth." To further increase students' fees would defeat the basic purpose of this institution to do the greatest educational good to the greatest number. The doors of Ohio Wesleyan have been doors of oppor- tunity to the sort of people the world needs most;--many of these men and women of extremely moderate means who see in Christian education a big and precious thing--a chance to render the highest service to the world. A Debt That Maturity Owes to Youth OHIO Wesleyan should not become a select school for sons and daughters of the rich. This would be contrary to the high pur- poses of her founders by limiting higher education to a fortunate few. The request for a scholarship endowment of $400,000 is extremely modest and when invested at 5% will bring an annual return of only $20,000. Yet that $20,000 will make it possible for scores of wealthy young men and women to develop from youths of promise into men and women of prominence. 15 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.17) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a0aecb8f053f4b6a82a218035cd92a12.jpg 5ae0eaf9436b9ce69b59ee38c1a6fe12 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 18] [corresponds to page 16 in OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] BUILD YOURSELF A LIVING MONUMENT Helping Those Who Help Themselves THE UNIVERSITY through its Y.M.C.A. and other agencies obtains employment for many students who must partially earn their way through college. However, great care must be exercised that this work shall not develop into undue drudgery or interfere with the students' scholastic standing. The University authorities must establish a proper balance between scholarship assistance and self support. They take pains always, since the number whom they can help in this way is limited, to afford scholarship aid to those who help themselves. In asking for scholarship endowment Ohio Wesleyan is proud to record the following figures to show what her ambiticus under-graduates are ac- tually doing to help themselves. Self-Support--Student Body 1920-21 Questionnaires returned 1188 out of 1470: 445 working during the School Year, earning . . . . $79,288 688 working during the Summer, earning . . . . . . . 170,254 ________ Total . . . . . . . $249,542 In a word, Ohio Wesleyan students help educate themselves to the extent of over a quarter million dollars a year. The Uni- versity asks you to provide scholarship endowments (in your own name if you wish) that will produce $20,000 per year or only 8% of what the students do for themselves. We must not forget that these young people who made these earnings were all the time carrying their full college work, and thus earned this money in spare time only. Without keeping this in mind their real industry and energy cannot be ap- preciated. 16 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.18) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/1a758502218973a60622333d87c530aa.jpg c3ab35a06e277a1b046ae4ffa434c14a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 19] [corresponds to page 17 in OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY A Debt That Society Owes Maturity THE pensions item of $300,000 in the Ohio Wesleyan Development Program will, when safely invested, insure an annual income of perhaps $15,000 to be used as a pension fund for retired professors. This is an object that should strongly appeal to every thoughtful per- son:--These National Character Moulders often spend a lifetime of service at salaries that barely permit them to obtain the necessities of life, let alone, enjoy any of the luxuries. These devotees to the cause of higher education seldom have an opportunity to save enough money for the "rainy day." By serving as teacher, guide and friend to thousands of students they are raising the seed corn of the world, but are getting little or none of the harvest. Society demands 100% efficiency from University professors; there- fore society should provide funds that will permit the pay- ment of living in- comes during the long years of service and insure reasonable re- tirement allowances for declining years of unemployment. 17 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.19) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/713a22901a96e8fb3d4a0c56ee346a97.jpg 7d797e6b3cef0b1e12d981c928da2b5e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 20] [corresponds to page 18 in OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] BUILD YOURSELF A LIVING MONUMENT Why Ohio Wesleyan Needs 16 New Buildings OHIO WESLEYAN has outgrown her faculty, her buildings, her campus, and all of her facilities are seriously overtaxed. With its present capacity in buildings, the University could instruct, without in- convenience and crowding, between 1000 and 1200 stu- dents. Imagine then, the cramped conditions under which the school is now operating with an enrollment of 1650 students. Sixteen new buildings are absolutely necessary. 1. To properly care for the present excess of students over physical capacity. 2. To provide additional capacity for increased attendance during the next ten years. 3. To relieve the present crowded and intolerable conditions. These new buildings will permit the segregation, the proper organiza- tion and administration of groups of related departments, with library reading rooms, class rooms, departmental offices and conference rooms. Even with its policy of carefully selecting all new students, and its aim at quality rather than quantity in its student body, Ohio Wesleyan cannot refuse additional students and thereby shirk the responsibility that is today thrown upon all institutions of higher learning. Ohio Wesleyan must have the capacity to take care of the increasing number who desire her particular type of Christian education.

Description An account of the resource [page 23] [corresponds to page 22 in OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] BUILD YOURSELF A LIVING MONUMENT New Chemistry Building, $250,000, and New Physics Building, $200,000 To be constructed in order that the University may keep abreast of modern times in the instruction given in these two sciences which underlie so much of modern industry. ELLIOTT HALL The present physics and engineering building was built in 1833 as "The Mansion House" to accommodate tourists and seekers after health. It was the building in which Ohio Wesleyan was started in 1842. Its Century of Service entitles it to a place in the Hall of Relics. It should immediately give way to a modern building arranged and equipped for the Engineering Sciences. STURGES HALL This is the Chemistry Building which has rendered generations of service, so that it is no longer good business to spend money repairing it. Our continued use of it is criticized by state authorities, who fully agree with us that it ought to be replaced as soon as possible by a modern building designed for this particular use. Religion and Missions Building, $100,000 The fact that Ohio Wesleyan has sent out more missionaries and has furnished more theological students than any other American Co-edu- cational school, is sufficient justification for her request for funds to construct a building for courses in religion and missions. To continue to be the recruiting station for Methodist leaders and to meet the increasing demands for the Church upon the University, Ohio Wesleyan must have additional facilities to carry on this impor- tant branch of her work. Political Science and Sociology, $150,000 (Business Administration Building) The demands upon her well organized department of business ad- ministration by industries who want young men trained in modern business methods, has automatically increased the number of stu- dents entering the University for this course. This department is already taxed to the limit and to continue to operate efficiently should be provided with a building and equipment of its own. 22 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.23) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/51f12f5b5591756d8d319055255433c9.jpg db2f8eed980b297ddd6766423ef86a09 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 24] [corresponds to page 23 in OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY Oratory Building, $100,000 This building wtih its stage and small auditorium will permit Ohio Wesleyan's Department of Oratory to carry on its great work in ora- tory, parliamentary law, argumentation and debate, extempore speak- ing, play production, and its many other useful activities. The function of this department is exceedingly practical and val- uable, and gives Ohio Wesleyan students unusual training in the art of public speech. It has taught them to "think on their feet" and "stick to their text," qualities so necessary in moulding public senti- ment and in attaining moral and social leadership. Recitation Hall, $150,000 Will provide well arranged, quiet class room space and will relieve present congestion. At the present time parts of the library, and all available space about the University are used for recitation work, much of it being poorly arranged and not thoroughly heated and ventilated. A recitation building will greatly assist the faculty in scheduling classes and will insure a more uniform meeting place for various classes than is now possible. Model Educational Unit, $100,000 During her eighty years of public service Ohio Wesleyan has given the world thousands of men and women taught to teach. To fill the actual demand from schools, colleges and universities for more and better teachers, she needs this building for the proper training of those preparing for teaching as a life work. This building will permit the development of a practice high school for the practical training of teachers. Ohio Wesleyan is conceded to be doing effective work in this line even with present restricted facilites, but can do much better work if her handicaps are removed. Heat, Light and Power Plant, $100,000 A building necessary to supply the University with its own heat, light and power. The construction of this building will be a measure of economy, as the saving that it will effect in these items will even- tually pay for the investment. A winter day spent in University Hall and Gray Chapel would con- vince anyone of the necessity for an improved heating and lighting system. Seventeen furnaces are now necessary to heat this one building, and the lighting is twenty years behind modern developments. 23 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.24) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/4fbf3997761245c69f9f010c33efd421.jpg f4ec70715f0c915334ea98428ba1ae77 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 26] [corresponds to page 25 in OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY Men's Commons Building, $250,000 The Men's Commons is needed as a social center, to provide offices for the different undergraduate organizations, and a gathering place for students and faculty in their free hours, under wholesome environ- ment. It will provide a central eating place for men and thus insure hygienic conditions in the preparation and serving of food. Men's Dormitories A--$150,000 and B--$150,000 To care for the proper housing of students now scattered in private houses about town. By bringing students together into larger groups these buildings will preserve and increase the spirit of democracy and friendship which is one of the finest experiences of college life. Campus Extension and Improvement, $150,000 The addition of sixteen new buildings necessitates campus changes, extensions and considerable landscaping and planting. Women's Athletic Field Entirely aside from these campus improvements, is the necessity for a girls' athletic field and locker-house. At the present time the girls must use Edwards Gymnasium and the Boys' Athletic Field, which is a mile from their home at Monnett. Added to this inconvenience is the difficulty in arranging Gymna- sium classes and field games so that schedules between girls and boys will not conflict. The University now owns 14 acres adjoining Monnett Campus which will be converted into a Women's Athletic Field for Tennis, Hockey, Field Sports and other Athletic activities. Intra-Mural Field In a body of nearly 2000 young people, those who keep up their physical condition, and gratify their natural impulse for activity, by taking part in sports, are many. There are so many that the main Athletic Field cannot accommodate them, in view of it belonging more properly to the various contests with visiting teams from other insti- tutions. The intra-mural field is for our own student body. To encourage mass rather than individual athletic training the Uni- versity has many intra-mural contests in all branches of sports between its classes, fraternities and clubs. An intra-mural field must be pro- vided to avoid conflicting dates on the main athletic field and to obviate the necessity of constantly using the Ohio State Guards Armory. 25 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.26) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/93c1095646da522b2a779fec72130e3a.jpg 2809ff089c213214b6108105c4a5128a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 27] [corresponds to page 26 in OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] BUILD YOURSELF A LIVING MONUMENT How Much Should I Give? THIS is a question that comes to the minds of hundreds of Ohio Wesleyan Alumni and friends. The same question has had to be answered by hundreds of thousands of men and women who have helped support American Universities for the past hundred years. Although some will want to give more and others will be obliged to and should give less, we believe the fol- lowing "Expectance" table will help many persons in determining the least they should invest in Ohio Wesleyan: Amount per year for five years if your income is: $ 5,000 and under...............2% 5,000-$10,000.................2%-3% 10,000- 15,000.................3%-4% 15,000- 25,000.................4% 25,000- 50,000....................5% 50,000-100,000....................7% 100,000 and over..................10% Income Tax Deduction The United States Government through the Federal Income Tax Law recognizes that educa- tional institutions must be supported by public and private gifts. It is therefore permissible for a donor to deduct his gift to such an instit- ution up to 15% of his income. If the gift be paid over a period of years, the amount each year may be deducted from the taxable income of that year. The following table shows how a gift to Ohio Wesleyan may reduce the Federal Income Tax of the donor. Net A Gift to Will reduce Taxable O.W.U. donor's Income in cash of income tax $ 10,000 $1,500 $135.00 15,000 2,250 257.50 20,000 3,000 410.00 25,000 3,750 640.00 50,000 7,500 2,145.00 75,000 11,250 4,522.50 100,000 15,000 7,760.00 200,000 30,000 17,100.00 500,000 75,000 43,500.00 1,000,000 150,000 87,000.00 Your happiness and satisfaction will be increased ten-fold if you will invest in a corner stone instead of a tomb stone. The monuments in the cemeteries of Ohio cost more than enough to generously endow all the Universities in the State. Think this over and then obey the impulse. Among the alumni and friends of our University are those who pay $250 or more for a year's golf or pay as much as $1,000 for a Country Club membership; without think- ing that the good old school at Del- aware gives a year's education for less than the former item, and re- ceives less than the latter for a four- year's course. 26 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.27) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/389a4f34fe04ab085ca675210f993d47.jpg 382cc8d4c400321fc5f1aa48ab7d8721 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

John W. Hoffman, President "At Ohio Wesleyan the constant concern is that impulse and idea, thought and skill, culture and character shall ever serve the noblest ends of Christ in his matchless zeal to establish the Kingdom of God on earth. With a passionate determination every fact, every truth, every facility is organized in the noble effort to make the world Christian." Woodrow Wilson "Scholarship has usually been more fruitful when associated with religion, and scholarship has never, so far as I can recall, been associated with any religion except that of Jesus Christ." W. F. King "Properly to plant and nourish a Christian col- lege is one of the highest privileges of Christian men and women. There is no soil so productive as mind, and no seed so fruitful as ideas. He who wishes to do the greatest possible good, and for the longest possible time, should nourish the fountains of learning, and help thirsting youth to the water." Warren G.

Herbert Spencer "To educate the reason without educating the desire is like placing a repeating rifle in the hands of a savage." James J. Hill "The Christian college is the hope of Amer- ica--character is essential to statesmanship, and these colleges are vital factors in the develop- ment of sterling characters." Professor Thompson of Ohio State University "I am in no way untrue to state institutions when I say that in our day a boy might become a bachelor or master in almost any one of the best of them, and be as ignorant to the Bible, the moral and spiritual truth which it represents and the fundamental principles of religion, their nature and value to society, as if he had been educated in a non-Christian country. Who is to supply this lack if not the Christian college?" Eliot "Exclude religion from education and you have no foundation upon which to build moral char- acter."

Bishop McDowell "A half century ago Christian education moulded the mind of the boy and girl--today it makes the mind of the nation." Roger W. Babson "The need of the hour is not more factories or materials, not more railroads or steamships, not more armies or more navies, but rather more edu- cation based on the plain teaching of Jesus. "We are willing to give our property and even our lives when our country calls in time of war. Yet the call of Christian education is today of even greater importance than was ever the call of the army or the navy. I say this because we shall probably never live to see America attacked from without, but we may at any time see our best institutions attacked from within. "I am not offering Christian education as a pro- tector of property, because nearly all the great progressive and liberal movements of history have been born in the hearts of Christian educators. I do, however, insist that the safety of our sons and daughters as they go out on the streets this very night is due to the influence of the preachers rather than to the influence of the policemen and lawmakers. Yes, the safety of our nation, includ- ing all groups, depends on Christian education." 31 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.32) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/1ddafcb0fcfd0b8e1715c98465a194c4.jpg 3a6f7b02c903449af82de82bbe2c513a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 35] [corresponds to page 34 of OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] BUILD YOURSELF A LIVING MONUMENT What Shall I Endow? NEXT to endowing a University or a department of the university, the most important and equally immortal thing that a man can do is to endow a chair. There are departments and professorships in the colleges of the old English Universities that have perpetuated the names of their founders for hundreds of years. The wise way is to endow a department or a chair but not to specify the study. Leave that to be designated by the Trustees from time to time in future years. No man can foretell the relative demands fifty years from now in the many branches of education, and such professor- ships, like the universities themselves, live forever. How Can I Make My Pledge? ON the next page is a facsimile reproduction of the Pledge Card adopted by the Board of Trustees for use in the Ohio Wesleyan Development Program. It is designed to cover the needs of most givers and at the same time so simplify the contract that the Treasurer's office can easily keep an accurate record of each contract. The total amount of each donor's subscription should be written on the first dotted line within the body of the contract.

As a colleague concerned with the art of Shakespeare from a contemporary, literary point of view, I have looked forward each year to the last week in April when, in commemoration of Shakespeare's birthday, the Wesleyan Players would interpret anew one of the tragedies or histories or comedies. For many hundreds of students these productions have led to a permanent interest in Shakespearean drama. Clarence Hunter's achievement is an enviable one indeed.

He came to our faculty just when I was leaving the college as a graduate. Since that im- portant year 1920, I have known of Professor Hunter's contribution to the University as an in- structor, as a coach in dramatics and as an au- thority in Shakespeare. He has not only labored diligently within the college itself, but has brought us prestige from without. Since becom- ing a Trustee, I have been even more aware of his good works. It gives me great pleasure to wish Clarence and Mrs. Hunter many years of useful and re- warding retirement. Ohio Wesleyan is proud to have had thirty-nine years of such devoted service. C. B. Mills Chairman of the Board IN TRIBUTE This year we pay special tribute to R. Clar- ence Hunter whose sensitive and understanding interpretation of Shakespeare has enriched the lives of so many of us over the years. His record of 37 annual Shakespeare plays is impressive in itself; but Professor Hunter has consistently sought and achieved the highest quality in all his dramatic productions. His con- tribution over nearly ten college generations, both in the classroom and in the cultural life of the greater University community, is certainly con- sistent with the highest ideals of the teaching profession.

ANDERSON CLOTHING Our twenty years of serving Professor Hunter have been most enjoyable. LEE'S BOOK STORE AS YOU LIKE IT -- THE FIRST SHAKESPEAREAN PRODUCTION AT OHIO WESLEYAN "In any consideration of the development of the drama at Ohio Wesleyan University between the years 1903 and 1913 the chief factor to be considered is the work and influence of Professor Robert Irving Fulton, at that time the Dean of the School of Oratory. Professor Fulton loved the drama, especially Shakespeare, and it was his ambition to pre- sent great plays at the University. This ambition, however, controverted the idea dominant in the Methodist Church in those days, to wit, that the theatre was a thing of evil and that it should not be tolerated in a Methodist institution. Pro- fessor Fulton was a persistent individual. He was not easily discouraged and in spite of opposition he worked unceasing- ly to attain his end. It was at Commencement time, June 21, 1905, that Professor Fulton decided the time had come for the presentation of a Shakespearean play, and to get way from the atmosphere of the theatre which was taboo, he decided to have an open- air performance. The play selected was AS YOU LIKE IT and for the part of Rosalind a well known reader and elo- cutionist named Katherine Eggleston Junkermann was invited to be the guest star. John T. Marshman, 1 then a gradu- ate student, was cast as Touchstone, and to my surprise I was given the part of Orlando. Since I was only a sophomore this was taken to be an evidence of favoritism on the part of Professor Fulton. The site selected for the forest of Arden was a hillside in what was then known as Merrick Glen, on the Barnes property, at about the point where Stuyvesant Hall stands today. We had a distinguished audience the afternoon of the play, seated on the hillside facing our open-air stage. The first act went off very well, and then--disaster! The windows of heaven were opened and the water fell upon the earth. Later on some of Professor Fulton's opponents on the faculty expressed the opinion that it was a judgement of heaven on our wicked play. Players and spectators alike ran for shelter but before we reached the house we were soaked to the skin. Professor Fulton was a bit discouraged by this setback, but not at all dismayed and the following afternoon we ventured again into the forest. This time the weather was perfect and the play was a great success." By Charles Milton Newcomb* 1 John T. Marshman became the head of the speech department in 1920. * Charles Newcomb was head of dramatics at OWU from 1916 to 1920. Congratulations to Professor Hunter FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF DELAWARE Member of the F.D.I.C. Due to the difference in our dates of birth we never found it possible to be contemporary with William (Shakespeare, that is) so we did the next best thing and lived next door to Clarence (Hunter, that is) and a fine neighbor he was.

Description An account of the resource [page 8] [corresponds to unlabeled page 8 of As You Like It program] Greetings from Friends So at last it has come to this--the final Shakespeare play that you direct as a member of the faculty! Plays and speech class will go on next year, but it will seem a bit strange not to have you around the campus too. You have been a stalwart member of the faculty and we remember the part that you have played in faculty af- fairs. It has been just about the easiest thing in the world to give enthusiastic sup- port to the college dramatic program. You have provided good entertainment and a varied fare (even though Shakespeare is your favorite playwright). You have pro- vided real enrichment to college and community life. As you begin your retirement, your faculty colleagues wish you a long and happy vacation when you and your wife will have unhurried freedom to enjoy many things. One of these will surely be a connoisseur's delight in play-going. Have a good time, both of you. George Crowl, President of A.A.U.P., O.W.U. Chapter It is a distinct pleasure to add to this special program a few words of sincere ap- preciation to Mr. Hunter from Theta Alpha Phi. Not only has Mr. Hunter kept the Ohio Alpha Chapter among the most outstanding in the fraternity, but he has con- tributed richly to the organization as a whole, both in his many years of service as a national officer, and in the help and guidance he has given so generously to the chapters in this region. Associated with Theta Alpha Phi almost since its inception, Mr. Hunt- er represents in a high degree as a person, and in his teaching, the ideas and ideals in theatre this group attempts to propagate. We are proud to claim him as a member, and to extend our fondest good wishes for the future. F. Lee Miesle, Regional Director, Region II, Theta Alpha Phi Theta Alpha Phi, national honorary dramatics fraternity, wishes to honor Professor Clarence Hunter on the occasion of his retirement. The progress of theatre at Ohio Wesleyan is founded upon the precepts he has engendered here. He can proudly take his place among the outstanding teachers and directors of the non-professional theatre of our country who have brought into fine force a Renaissance in the theatre. Hun- dreds of students form a great immortality for him. He taught them well and inspired them to create and appreciate good drama. His method was ever stimulating. He is one of those rare teachers who can in performance demonstrate the art he teaches. Also he has been an influence in the national scene having served with distinction as the national president of Theta Alpha Phi. We, the members of Theta Alpha Phi, extend hearty congratulations to Clarence Hunter and hope sincerely that in retirement he will continue his connection with his colleagues, students, and friends throughout the world. R. W. Masters, National Secretary-Treasurer, Theta Alpha Phi There are many missionaries among us. Most are easily identified. A few are not. Clarence Hunter is not. For nearly four decades he has quietly and devoutly served the interests of and taught drama to college students. Their excellence and their works carry a far greater tribute to this man than mere written or spoken words. It seems more than fitting that the conclusion of this great teacher's second act should have been written by one of the world's greatest playwrights, Shakespeare. This final production, therefore, shall be a capstone to the columnar teaching career of this man who has done so much for so many. To those of us who have followed Clarence Hunter in the Presi- dency of Theta Alpha Phi, we find the way challenging. It is our hope that when our second act curtain comes, we will be able to look forward to the third act with the same confidence. We pray that we will be able to feel a measure of the same pride of ser- vice and accomplishment of the past while anticipating the future. Thank you, Clarence Hunter. We can only try. Good luck and may God bless you. Sam M. Marks, National President, Theta Alpha Phi TRAGIC NIGHT in the career of Professor Hunter was February 24, 1934, when the City Opera House was completely destroyed by fire. This was the first theater used by Ohio Wesleyan dramatists. Professor Newcomb recalled that "there was a decided 'air' about this old 'Opry House.' This was due to the fact that the fire department stable was located on the first floor." After the fire, Ohio Wesleyan turned to the Delaware public schools to pro- vide theater arrangements in Willis High Auditorium. The University, in spite of the fact that it has had an outstanding program in dramatics, has never had a theater of its own. Professor Hunter has worked hard and long toward this end, and his many friends have hoped it could be realized be- fore his retirement.
