To throw into relief the life of Hiram
College during the past year is the first
purpose of this book. College is not
an ominous threshold nor an accumula-
tion of tradition, but a colorful and
moving present | It is days filled with
much laughter and some achievement
and a little loneliness! But in all this
there is an awareness of the early ideal-
ism and effort of the school and a sens-
ing of the possibilities for scope and
glamour and purposefulness in the future.

No one could better write about these
things than Vachel Lindsay, a man nur-
tured in the older Hiram, honored by
the present and moved by prospects of
a new day. Mr. Lindsay wrote the
thematic text in these pages especially
for this book. His quotations here
are published for the first time. To light
coming days with memories, to help pre-
serve an atmosphere and to show that
there is magicin Hiram to stirmens blood,
we present Ihe 1932 Spider Web.

The President
Minds or Men
(By Kenneth Irving Brown)
American education is facing today the question, Is it the function of a college to educate
minds or men? In the past it has been the predominant thought that the responsibility of
a college began and ended at the threshold of a college classroom. If local conditions made
dormitory facilities necessary, the college might build dormitories, but its sole obligation was
to see that the students did not wantonly destroy college property or too seriously endanger
their lives.
Many educators today, however, are demanding that the college assume a responsibility
not merely for the awakening of the student’s mind, but indeed for the awakening of the
entire man. Those who speak for this group say education must assist the student to sound
physical, social, moral, and spiritual, as well as mental growth.
Hiram College has for decades taken this second position; its concern is, to be sure, to
train minds, but in addition to offer the students who come to this Hill such an environment
as may contain the fullest opportunities for self-education, for the maturity which will enable
a man or woman to be an intelligent, responsible individual.

Administrative heads for the past year were Professor Paul H. Fall, acting
dean, and Mrs. Marguerite B. Keller, dean cf women. Mr. Fall continued as
chemistry professor, but will engage in research at Williams College next year.
This is the first year at Hiram for Mrs. Keller, who is an Oberlin graduate.
Other members of the administration were Howard W. Jones, assistant to
the president and a Hiram alumnus; Lawrence C. Underwood, registrar, like-
wise serving his Alma Mater; James Woodruff Richardson, secretary and treas-
urer and Miss Jessie J. Smith, librarian. Miss Smith attended Hiram College
and Chautauqua School fer Librarians and conducts a library training class for
student assistants.
Enrollment for the past year was 345 and 337 for the first and second sem-
esters, respectively. An addition to present student aid was the establishment
of four alumni scholarships of one hundred dollars each.
Hiram College is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools and is on the approved list of the Association of American
Universities. The college endowment, increased during the year by the $100,-
000 Wilson bequest, is over one and a fifth millions and the property is worth
$850,000. Hiram has 203 acres of land, worth $32,000, for a lake project and
addition to the campus.

By Vachel Lindsay
| have since 1912 spoken in every university in America,
some of them seven times, and in nearly all the colleges, yet
Hiram looms larger than them all in my eyes, merely because it
is my own, and because one's eighteenth year can never come
again. Yet | dream of a thousand better reasons.
How can | express this affection? | have often asked myself
in vain. By conviction | hold there is only one thing worth doing
for a school; to speak the magic word that will make it an eternal
creative force, and a school no longer. What is that word? Who
will speak it? Some accidental Dante may say it yet.
Hiram stands at the parting of the ways. Will it imitate other
schools of the same size in duller regions, highly certified academic
jails, or will it be the only school on American soil true to its
unique and beautiful Hill? In twenty years will it be a place of
pilgrimage for all the young, eager, creative artists of the world—
or merely a Hill with a mellow unknown tradition? Will it keep
its secret forever, or let it prevail over the world?
A course in literature should make creative writers, (such as)
Harriet Beecher Stowe (and) Willa Cather, or perish. A course
in the drama should make dramatists as surprising as losen or
Shaw, or perish. We need no more of Confucian routine. We
do not need athletes—we need aviators and explorers, men like
Lindbergh and Byrd. We do not want one more graduate in
physics or chemistry. We want Benjamin Franklins and Marconis
and Mme. Curies. We need no more bond salesmen. We want
Johnny Appleseeds and Thoreaus. Edgar Poe is worth more to
the world than all the English departments ever imagined. Who
cares to invite such dreamers to the Hill?

Vachel Lindsay's Hiram Days
(Being excerpts from Mr. Lindsay's notes to O. Hittenrauch)
| entered Hiram as a full freshman September,
1897, and was almost immediately recruited by the
junior class to illustrate their annual. . . . The first
year at Hiram | enjoyed myself immensely and, aside
from illustrating the annual, worked very hard on
writing, chapel orations and Delphic Society orations.
. The reason that | was sent to Hiram was solely
that (President) Zollars was an old and dear friend
of my fathers. . . . Tell the historian who would
record my delicate history that | was chairman of the
freshman yell committee and wrote many temporarily
successful yells. . . . | had endless happy days at
Hiram, and only left because | chose art for my pro-
fession. . . . | was supposed to study medicine under
Doctor Page and couldnt remember a single lesson,
though | greatly admired Doctor Page, a splendid man.
... He “donated” a credit or two for good luck. . . .

. my second year at Hiram, . . . as before, |
enjoyed myself immensely, illustrated the annual and
worked very hard for a place in the oratorical con-
test, training day and night. . . . Also | put in all the
chapel orations | could and wrote a great deal of
poetry, now lost unless some Hiram student has copies
in manuscript. .. . How a Little Girl Sang,’ “The
Foolish Queen of Fairyland’ and ‘The Battle’ were
all written in high school, 1896. ...1| think it was
this year, 1898,| wrote The Songofthe Garden load.”
.. . My second begging trip—from New York City
to Hiram College, the spring of 1908—I carried an
early version of ‘The Litany of Heroes,’’and a pam-
phlet written in 99-'00 in Hiram—‘‘The Last Song
of Lucifer.’ . . . The night before | reached Hiram
on that begging trip, | put up with the good Doc-

By Vachel Lindsay
| studied in the Chicago Art Institute four years, under Chase
and Henri one year in New York, lectured in the Metropolitan
Museum four years, toured the European art galleries. Then |
asked the faculty about ten years after | left Hiram to substitute
my knowledge of art for routine grades so | might get a job as
art teacher somewhere, but they refused to examine me.
| could never get into an oratorical contest, try as | might,
much less win one. Yet! am profoundly grateful for the struggle,
and am now singing in every state in the Union by methods
developed in Hiram.
It seems to me the possibilities for intensely creative life in
music have never been realized in Hiram. Original compositions
should be the supreme objective, and thase in the exact mood of
Hiram Hill. No great cities or great universities can do this, and
unless the American creative genius is expressed in such places
as Hiram, it will remain unexpressed.
There are types of mystical religion that should originate on
Hiram Hill, and not the routine hierarchies of great cities or
Eastern universities. There is always the promise of special
creative force in Hiram, so why not the fulfillment?
If Hiram the beautiful cannot produce verse, it will not
appear anywhere. All Hiram is a poem to me.

Student Government
The student body of Hiram College is self-governing. All students are
members of the Student Assembly, of which the officers for the past year were
president, Charles McEvoy; vice-president, Katharine Kelker and secretary-treas-
urer, Rudolph Damschroder. ‘These officers, who constitute the Student Board,
were nominated by their predecessors and elected by the assembly.
The Student Board, a non-voting freshman representative and three faculty
members form the College Council. This year the class of 1934 elected Don-
ald McCarthy and the faculty was represented by Miss Jessie Jerome and Pro-
fessors J. E. Smith and Ernest G. Walker.
The College Council acts in an advisory capacity for the president of the
college. The organization performs the functions of a senate, but its recommen-
dations are limited to the prerogatives of those to whom they are made.
During the past year the College Council reorganized the method of record- .
ing class absences, helped furnish the recreation rooms and social parlors of the
Administration Building and assisted the president in formulating rules for the
regulation of social clubs. “There have been many minor occasions when the
College Council promoted understanding and co-operation between the admin-
istration and the student body.

Women's Self-Government League
The Women’s Self-Government League exists for the purpose of increasing
the control of the women of the college over the rules and regulations under
which they live. Every girl at her entrance in college becomes a member of the
league and is eligible for election to Central Board, the executive committee of
the organization. Central Board is composed of the president, vice-president and
secretary-treasurer, elected by the whole league; the house chairmen of the wo-
men’s dormitories, elected by their respective halls, and a representative from
each of the underclasses. “The board meets at least once a month to discuss
problems of enforcing or revising the rules. Faculty members are present at
these meetings only at the request of Central Board. The whole organization
is call-d together whenever the president desires.
This year the league has revised the social and recreation rules, seeking at
all times to make regulations as fair, and relationships as friendly as possible
among all the members.
The league provides for a social gathering of all the girls in school at a for-
mal banquet once each year.

of Stuart Cramer, ’34. The lettering is by Bert Box, ’34, who also designed
the feature section and other snapshot panels. Miss Tomasek assisted on the
Hirampage section page layout.
Photography was handled by Anna Lou Peckham, ’32, Dale Underwood,
°33, and Gerould Allyn, ’34. These three staff members co-operated with Har-
eld Wallace, ’32, camera editor, in conducting spring and fall photo contests.
Mr. Underwood did the photography for the sports section and Mr. Allyn
handled feature section snapshots. Frank Adams, ’32, publications editor, as-
sisted in this work.

By Vachel Lindsay
The type of citizens that have sent their children to Hiram
for four generations are the only breed that has yet gendered
anything electrifying or inspiring on American soil.
The very Hiram landscape, as shown in the photographs in
this book, suggests a great school of landscape painting. The
natural amphitheatres out of doors, suggest rich original dramas.
The trees suggest an American architecture, not yet born on
American soil. The quiet retreats suggest the last refuge for
meditation and incubation that great original force may be born,
force that cannot possibly be destroyed by the mechanics of our
routine.
Let not the town be large, remembering
That little Athens was the Muse's home,
That Oxford rules the heart of London still,
That Florence gave the Renaissance to Rome.
To speak of the Creative Sense in general terms gets nowhere.
But let us plainly remember that Hiram is first of all a superb
example of unspoiled Americanism. He who EXPRESSES Hiram
will be an AMERICAN ARTIST. The simplicity, the willingness
to be simple; the outdoors quality and the willingness to be
rural; the religious tradition and the willingness to be devout;
the studious tradition and the willingness to value a book, and
be in earnest; the tradition that it is the business of men to shed
lustre on Hiram, not of Hiram to shed lustre on them; the tradi-
tion that a Hiram student's career is his personal adventure AFTER
college, rather than HIS SUBMISSION TO THE COLLEGE:—
all these make a place where creative artists SHOULD BE BORN,
men fit to conquer the world in their own names.

Alpha Society
The Alpha Society was founded in 1923 for the recognition and promotion
of superior scholarship. Any student with an average peint index of 2.5 or
above for two consecutive semesters is eligible for Alpha membership during the
following semester. About six per cent of the student body are so selected in
June and four and one-half per cent in February. Freshmen are excluded from
the February membership.
Members of the scciety are permitted to take as much class work as possible
but they have no other special advantages. “There is a movement under way to
organize socially, but at present the only social function is an annual banquet
given to the group by the faculty of the college.
The February membership has never exceeded eighteen and the present group
is the first to have more men than women members. At the annual mid-year
schelastic convocation the following members were announced: seniors, Harry
Bucy, Clyde Davis, Kathryn Luse, Owen Morrison and John Stone; juniors,
Rudolph Damschroder, Marjorie Davies, George Dean, Helen Fitting, Ellen
Gibbs, Anna Lou Peckham and Richard Pichon; and sophomores, Hellmuth
Bauer, Erminia Costarella, Wave Shaffer, Walter Waggoner, Vernon Webster
and Beth Wilson.

Pi Kappa Delta
Pi Kappa Delta is a national honorary forensic society. Its purpose, as
stated in its constitution, is “to stimulate progress in and to promote the interests
of intercollegiate oratory, debate and public speaking by encouraging a spirit of
intercollegiate fellowship, of brotherly co-operation and interest, and by con-
ferring upon deserving candidates a badge of distinction, proficiency and honor,
varied and graduated according to merit and achievement.”
Ohio Gamma, the Hiram chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, endeavors to carry out
the purposes of the national society. The student assembly has given to Pi
Kappa Delta full power to act in all forensic matters in the college.
In addition to the regular debate work this year, the organization is con-
ducting a local oratorical contest to select an entrant for the Ohio Peace Ora-
torical Contest.
Officers for the past schocl year were Harold Lunger, president; Carl Hillen-
brand, vice-president and Clyde Davis, secretary-treasurer. In addition to the
officers the members are Professcr Russell G. Bunn, Harold Crites and Russell
Brown.

Alpha Mu Kappa
Alpha Mu Kappa, founded in 1915, is an organization of pre-medic students.
All students majoring in pre-medical subjects and preparing to enter graduate
school are eligible for membership.
At the semi-monthly meetings members and outside speakers present talks on
subjects of interest to the pre-medic student. Group discussion follows and ma-
terial outside the scope of the regular classroom is presented by interested
members.
Alpha Mu Kappa has one sccial function for members and guests each year.
Plans for this and the other activities of the organization were, during the past
year, under the control of Charles Magargee, president ; Carl Hillenbrand, vice-
president and Hellmuth Bauer, secretary-treasurer.
Alumni members of the club are now in graduate schools of medicine, sci-
ence and dentistry. Many of these former members are pursuing further work
on assistantships and fellowships at such institutions as Oberlin, Syracuse, West-
ern Reserve and Ohio State.
Professor J. J. Turner, biology head, sponsors Alpha Mu Kappa.

Colton Club
Colton Club, one of the comparatively new clubs on the campus,
was named for Professor George Colton. He was a professor who, at
different times through a period of more than fifty-five years, taught all
branches of natural science at Hiram College.
The club was organized to fill the need of the students for an or-
ganization providing opportunities for investigating interesting problems
in science which do net arise in regular laboratory work.
The programs consist of papers, experiments and demonstrations
and other things of like interest. Occasionally lectures are given by out-
side speakers who are authorities in their fields.
Colton Club limits its membership to those actively interested in the
various fields of science. Accerdingly, the entrance requirements de-
mand the completion of fifteen hours of science with a minimum of
three semesters in one branch.
Present officers of the club are president, John R. Stone and sec-
retary and treasurer, J. Owen Morrison.

Theta Alpha Phi
Theta Alpha Phi is a national collegiate dramatic fraternity. The Hiram
chapter, Ohio Eta, was founded in December, 1930, and replaced Skylight
Players, former local dramatic organization.
The purpese of Theta Alpha Phi is to create and encourage a student in-
terest in dramatic art. To do this, Ohio Eta has entire management of select-
ing and producing all the Hiram College plays. Each year the local chapter
produces one play with a cast from its membership.
The Northeastern Ohio One-Act Play Contest is sponsored by this organi-
zation. In this competition nearby high schools participate on the Hiram stage
in a series of one-act plays. Scholarships to the college are awarded to the lead-
ing high school actors and actresses and the winning school is given a plaque.
This contest is conducted to promulgate interest in dramatic art among high
school pupils and to enable the college to render a service to the district.
Membership in Theta Alpha Phi is awarded to directors, actors, authors,
technical workers or publicity directors ef student plays.
Officers of the Hiram chapter are president, Professor R. G. Bunn; vice-
president, Donald Noble; secretary, Laurys Norton and treasurer, Dale Under-
wood.

Religious Service Club
The present Religious Service Club has been in existence three years. “The
officers for the past year were Oliver Cowles, president; Alberta Huff, vice-presi-
dent and Florence Alexander, secretary-treasurer.
There has always existed on this campus an association designed to bring
together those students interested in religion. Several years ago there was a vol-
unteer band and a ministerial club. ‘Three years ago the Religious Service Club
was formed among the men with Harold Haugh, now a student at Union Theo-
logical Seminary, as first president. Last year the club was enlarged to include
any women who might care to become members. “The membership is open to all
those expecting to fellow religious work as a profession.
The organization meets on alternate Friday nights to discuss important con-
temporary religious problems. Occasionally an outside speaker is invited to give
an informal talk before the club.
The sponsors cf the group for the past year were President and Mrs. Ken-
neth I. Brown, Doctor and Mrs. L. T. Hites, Professor and Mrs. R. F. David-
son and Reverend and Mrs. Harold Humbert.

Baseball, 1930
Lacking an efficient hurler, the 1930 baseball season was a sorry one for the
Terriers. Seven games were played and, although the Hiram nine made a val-
iant effort, the season ended withcut a single victory to their credit. Four of
these games were played on local soil and three away from home. Hiram scored
a total of 29 runs to 69 for their opponents.
The first four games were dropped to the University of Akron, 9 to 2; to
Baldwin-Wallace College, 11 to 2; to Mount Union College, 13 to 3, and to
Kent State College, 13 to 1. Gordon Crowe, brought in from the outfield and
developed into a pitcher by Coach Nelson Bard, had trouble with his throwing
arm and found it difficult to ease it around into shape. ‘The last three games
of the season, played with Kent State College, Western Reserve University and
the Hiram College Alumni team were lost 8 to 7, 9 to 7 and 8 to 7, respectively.
The varsity baseball letter was awarded to Captain Fred Cramer, Byron
Christman, Gordon Crowe, George Davis, James Garvin, Thomas Hall, Wil-
fred Hall, Kenneth Hansen, Edgar Jenkins and Carl Sponhauer. James Gar-
vin was elected to captain the 1931 team.

Track, 1930
The summary of the 1930 track season shows Hiram somewhat in the red when
it comes to tallying the results. It could hardly have been called a successful year
although there was an increased interest in evidence when compared with the pre-
ceding year.
The Hiram tracksters met Case School and Baldwin-Wallace College on April
26th for the season’s initial meet. Case won this triangular meet with 103% points.
While Baldwin-Wallace was busily engaged in scooping up its total of 41 points the
Terriers sneaked in and went home with 14% points. On May 3rd, Hiram en-
countered Mount Union College at Alliance and was able to amass only 38 tallies to
Mount’s 93. The final meet was held in Hiram on May 17th with Baldwin-Wallace.
This meet was less disastrous than the other two. The final reckoning gave the
Bereans the meet with 72 pcints while the tally sheets showed Hiram with 59 points.

Tennis, 1930
In the 1930 tennis season Hiram College played Case School of Applied Sci-
ence and Mount Union College. In all three matches played, the opponents
were victorious.
Coach ‘Joe’ Smith’s men lost the initial combat to Mount Union by a 4-2
score. “The games were played on the opponent’s courts at Alliance. The local
racqueteers came out on the low end of an identical score when Mount Union
met Hiram on the latter’s courts later in the season.
Case School played here and left with a 4-1 victory over the Hiram court-
men. It was in this match that ‘Art’ Presti and Ralph Beard, playing excel-
lent tennis, walloped their Case opponents in the doubles after Hiram suffered
defeats in the singles matches. Fast playing and good form characterized the
doubles set-to and provided thrills aplenty for the many spectators.
Professor J. E. Smith was tennis coach. ‘The 1930 varsity team was com-
posed of Ralph Beard, Alvin Grifhiths, Arthur Presti and William Squier. Grif-
fith graduated with the class of 1930 and Beard and Presti leave via the cap and
gown route in the spring of °31. Squier has two seasens yet and is counting on
help from the yearling candidates for next year.

Football
When the call was given for freshman football twenty men appeared
for action. In a few weeks, under the tutelage of Coach Herbert C.
Matthews, a speedy squad was whipped into shape. The yearlings were
instructed in the offensive and defensive tactics of the sport by their mentor
and the varsity squad. Against the latter they afforded tough opposition
during practice.
Thirteen of the freshmen candidates were able to stand the grind every
afternoon and were granted the honory award offered by the college athletic
association. The award is a red slip-over sweater with the numerals “34”
in blue chenille. Sweaters were given to Lee Caufheld, Frank Cline, Dale
Corey, Stuart Cramer, Venner Davey, James Dean, Emil Dzurik, Ralph
Epstein, Vito Pasquale, Albert Price, Elwin Saunders, Jack Spencer and
Everett Vine.
Kenneth Keller, ’34, was trainer for the freshman squad and will be
an assistant to the varsity trainer next year.
Vito Pasquale, Cleveland, was elected honorary captain at the com-
pletion of the season. He and his team mates will find several varsity
booths vacant by graduation when they return next September.

Cramer, *34.
The men whe worked out with the varsity in daily practice were
Robert Bergan, Dale Corey, Austin Cowles, Vito Pasquale, William
Stowe and Robert Tilden. ‘These men received numerals and sweaters.
The inter-class aggregation won three games out of five starts and
was composed of Bert Box, Lee Caufheld, Leroy Conklin, Lewis
Crouch, James Harper, Clifford Krueger, Charles Litteria, Max Neid-

The intramural sports program of the
college is under the guidance of Herbert
C. Matthews, director of athletics. A
student board of control assists in the
interclass basketball schedule, the most
important of non-varsity sports. Each
class has a men’s and a women’s team.
The men play an interclass tournament
and an open schedule. In the latter,
varsity cagers exhibit their post-season
wares.
The senior men (top) lost twenty con-
secutive games. “War Horse” Thomp-
son was the team’s triple-threat man—
coach, manager and captain. Active on
the Thundering Herd were “Ichabod”
Dietz, ““What-a-Man” Crowe and “Gal-
loping John” Stone. Hillenbrand did his
usual pivoting for the non-too-courteous
spectators that hung over the balcony rail.
Tennis came into its own this year as
an intramural sport with an interclass
tournament. Here is “Bill” Squier, 732,
in action.

were undisputed leaders in the interclass
basketball tournament. They lost but
one game, that to the sophomores by a
13-7 tally. Until the final fracas, in
which they whipped the seniors, the Reign
was tied with the frosh for first honors.
Adams, with 32 points, was high score
man of. the whole interclass program.
Four out of seven high scorers were of
the Reign. They were Adams, Hale,
Pearce and Goll. Bitner and Adams were

but walked away with the open tourna-

varsity men, Romig, Libby, Davison and
Vincent. Wilson Chaney was coach and
manager. Outstanding on the squad
were Pierce, Wilson and Bill.
At the time of going to press suprem-
acy of the women’s schedule was between
the freshmen and sophomore aggrega-
tions. The frosh set a new style in cage
clothing and presented the best-working
collection. Important’ were Andrews,
Vincent, McLaren, Ford and Hamlin, the
only guard who could hold down the
rampant sophomore forward Boyer. Burr
also starred for 1933.
Below is some action snapped at a
Junior Class practice.
The permanent trophy in the men’s
free-throw contest went to John Reid, 31.
He looped 85 of a hundred tries, better-
ing his last year’s win by ten. Goll,
junior, was runner-up with 78 perfect
circles.
In addition many unorganized intra-
mural sports were engaged in by the stu-
dent body. Hiking, coasting, skating,
skiing, wrestling, apparatus work and
tumbling were the most popular. Par-
ticipation in intramural athletics was
made available to all students and a large
proportion of men and women entered
one or more sports.

of
May Day is an annual spring pageant
sponsored by the Women’s Athletic As-
sociation. Last year the girls wrote and
staged a festival which was directed by
Frances Blake Morris, then director of
physical education for women. The May
Queen, Ruth Hale, was nominated by
the Senior Class and elected by the stu-
dent body. At the top is Miss Hale
being crowned by Mary Dean, Prince
Charming in the pageant.
Girls’ volley ball is offered in the gym
classes. Florence R. Pease, present di-
rector of women’s physical education, has
charge of this sport. The photograph
was taken at one of the upperclass after-
noon games.
The officers of the W. A. A. are (left

Williams, vice-president; Anne Clarke,
secretary, and Polly Henry, president.
With twenty new members this year the
W. A. A. new boasts of 56 actives. Mem-
bership is open to any woman with 100
points secured in first-team volley ball,
basketball or track participation.

Hazel Vance, 731, was the outstanding
archer of the girls’ gym classes. Archery
is an elective sport and counts toward
the thousand points necessary to win nu-
merals in girls’ athletics.. One thousand
five hundred points wins the varsity let-
ter and sweater. Few women attain this
highest award until their senior year.
Such sports as coasting, hiking and swim-
ming are also presented for points.
Two-thirds of the women in college
participate in the intramural sports pro-
gram. Individual competition reaches its
height in the annual free-throw contest
for a medal award.

Perching, or the boy-girl
racket, began way back in the
°80’s and rumor has it that L.
E. Hall, genial professor
emeritus of Latin, named the
sport. You can perch any
place, any time and with any-
one, subject, of course, to Cen-
tral Board, the dean, the
church, the state, which party
is in power, and will thts rain
never let up? Here’s Jerry
Brown and Irene Burlingame
wading in the snow, frixample.

couple steals into chapel for
