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.

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. 19 Administration PAUL HENRY FALL Acting Dean HowArp W. JONES Assistant to the President LAWRENCE C, UNDERWOOD Registrar a a 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. 20 a a — & hat Administration MARGUERITE B, KELLER Dean of Women Jessie J.

SS S (o>) ao (LER 25 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? ee RIES Se EO 4 Fc LE id oO +S Neel sate +) Gh sin eae ue ; ys * 0h A i i) CANS ete heed DTT T TBS : Ft ON ee yan wh A Bi fi aie yf APOV An i Ue sb WENA heey, ji fie , , \ : Ai We INR 4 4 }; % AA x ta?

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. ...

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.

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. 57 EpirH SAUM DELIA THOMAS JANE CHRISTMAN HELEN LAWRENCE President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Bowler EpNA REID KATHARINE KELKER ELsigE CROCKETT Miller W est Sophomore VIRGINIA CUSHMAN ANN ZADUNAJSKY Freshman Fire Chief 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. 58 Publications The Advance Bi-Weekly Student Newspaper EpITORIAL STAFF Managing Editor... .. . . . . . » JANE CHRISTMAN ASSISTANT EDITORS A.

Ann Tomasek, ’31, art editor, designed the title page sketch and helped on the flyleaf map. ‘The cartographic sketches of the Vachel Lindsay map at the beginning and end of the book and the subdivision page cartoons are the work 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.

BUNN, Director | : Te 73 fis fal Yt YD JS BY | 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. aes — Sete = Wea vss y i A 3) Ai an id NG hs rUceginty i lie a bin Wey "y ‘; Ths y fr Ae \\ Frit Pi Ee \ .

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. 7% LUNGER CRITES DAVIS BROWN 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. Th KELKER MAGARGEE COLE BAUER PRESTI CROWE TURNER HILLENBRAND HALL 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.

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.

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. FLOOK DERBY RAND W.

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.

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.

Davis 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. Rudy and Baker step out SQUIER GRIFFITHS SMITH PRESTI BEARD 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.

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.

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. 118 Women’s Athletics Pn SLIDER WEI Women’s Athletics of May Day is an annual spring pageant sponsored by the Women’s Athletic As- sociation.
