CENTENNIAL .1847-1947 100 YEARS OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

the

This is the year for which we have been looking with such keen anticipation — the Centennial year. This is the year when each of us will want to renew our faith in Otterbein and in the ideals for which she has stood for a century. This is the year for us to shuffle off any attitude of indifference which we may now possess and pledge anew our support and loyalty to our alma mater as she begins her second century. Great and glorious has been her past. Ours is a rich heritage. Every alumnus has ample reason to be justly proud of Otterbein College, for she stands

THE

today along with the best of Christian liberal arts colleges. Her standing and prestige are shared with everyone who has entered her sacred halls or trod her campus walks. Upon each she has endeavored to leave a benediction of her rich spirit and time' honored traditions. •

Today she faces the future with confidence because her strength is the strength of her hundreds of sons and daughters and her prosperity is in their hands. Today she looks over her huge family and with justifiable pride says “It is well; Tm satisfied; They are mine.”

THE PRESIDENT'S PAGE Dear Friends of Otterbein: In its 100th year, Otterbein College has its largest enrollment to date. There are 871 fulbtime students; total attendance will rise above 1000. Chapel services are being held in the United Brethren Church, and the large sanctuary is filled to capacity. This unprecedented attendance at Otterbein is part of the “educational bulge” which is common on college and university campuses just now. It is estimated that three million students will matriculate this year in American schools of higher education, which is more than twice the normal pre-war average. The unusual increase in college and university enrollments is attributed to five causes: (1) the return of veterans whose educational careers were delayed by the war; (2) economic prosperity which enables more families to send nonweteran sons and daughters to college; (3) a clearer reali2;ation that college training is of tremendous value in preparing for leadership; (4) the increasing demand for college trained men on the part of business and industry; (5) the pressure of labor unions and other groups to keep young people off the labor market as long as possible. College authorities are glad to serve as many students as possible, of course, but there are certain sobering factors to keep in mind. First, unless great care is exercised encyclopedic knowledge and academic drilling will take the place of real education. Oversized classes and crowded schedules will hinder the operation of many factors which are necessary for education at its best. Education is expected to produce character and culture, as well as stimulate intellectual attainment, and for such results there should be close contact between teacher and student and purposeful leisure to assimilate and evaluate classroom experiences. In the second place, the large influx of students places a severe strain on college finances. When Otterbein’s enrollment reaches 800, income from endowment is insufficient to fulfill the needs of the

Excerpts

from

the

Address

“Education, in itself considered, is either right or wrong, and those engaged in promoting it are, so far as this work is concerned, doing right or they are doing wrong. If it is wrong, then it is the duty of the Church to exert her influence against it, not only by withdrawing her support, but by enjoining upon her members to separate themselves from it and by instructing her ministers in the sacred desk to raise their voices against it and not to cease their opposition until it shall have been driven

Dr. J. Gordon Howard, '22 Sixteenth President of Otterbein

college, and current funds must be used unduly to meet the demand. To complicate the picture, just at the time when income from college endowment is most needed, interest rates are exceedingly low. It is imperative that the Centennial Campaign be pushed vigorously and every possible dollar sub' scribed and paid. Anything short of the goal will be crippling. There always will be problems, and we can be glad for problems of growth and progress rather than of shrinkage and retreat. Furthermore we are confident of the friendship and cooperation of the finest constituency a college ever had. Homecoming this year, November 9, celebrat' ing our 100th year, will be a grand and glad occasion. The “welcome” sign will be conspicuous. Grads and their friends will find students and faculty ready for a big “Hello!” Homecoming this Centennial year should be the best ever. Plan now to be on hand for plenty of fun and fellowhip. —J. GORDON HOWARD

from the earth. If it is right, then it is the duty of the Church to engage in it so far as she is able. . . . “Today we commence our efforts and oh, let us labor and pray that it be not a feeble effort. Let us be united and concentrate our efforts. Let us feel as though we had a work to do in common with our sister churches— one which involves the interests of the American people, and let us ask the blessing of Him who holds the destinies of nations in His hands upon our labors, and success will crown our efforts.”—William R. Griffith, Principal

PORTRAIT OF TWO GREAT EARLY LEADERS PHILLIP WILLIAM OHERBEIN

LEWIS DAVIS

When the leaders of the Scioto Conference were seeking for a name for their new institution they finally decided to name it after the founder of the denomination, Phillip William Otterhein. Otterbein came to America from Germany in 1752 as a missionary of the Reformed Church. He preached in eastern Pennsylvania against the lifeless formality of the church of that day. Societies of converts sprang up. He had no intention of start' ing a new denomination but by 1780 there were so many of these societies that representatives met and organized the Church of the United Brethren in Christ. This new denomination was the first American'born church. Whereas the birthplace of the church was in the east, missionaries came west at an early date. Four years after the admission of Ohio into the union the first United Brethren society west of the Ohio River was organized by Andrew Zeller near Germantown, Ohio.

“Founder of Otterbein College” and “Father of Education in the United Brethren Church”— such are the titles and marks of distinction of Rev. Lewis Davis. Lewis Davis, a native of Virginia, had only eighteen months of formal education before becom' ing a minister in the United Brethren church in 1838. By diligent study he became one of the outstanding preachers in the Scioto Conference. Dr. Davis pleaded for the purchase of Blendon Seminary and became one of the first three trustees of Otterbein College. He served as the first financial agent while Principal Griffith headed the academic work. In 1850 Dr. Davis became the president and served until 1857 when he was elected a bishop of the church. After three years he was rc'elected president of the college and served from I860' 1871, the trying Civil War period. Dr. Davis was not only the president and responsible for the financial affairs of the college but he was also professor of mental and moral science. One of President Davis’ greatest contributions was the raising of $60,000.00 in endowment im' mediately following the Civil War and the raising of $35,000.00 for the erection of the present administration building.

UNITED BRETHREN CHURCH TO MERGE WITH THE EVANGELICAL CHURCH

After nearly a century and a half of organized endeavor the United Brethren church is to merge with the Evangelical Church, a denomination born about the same time and place and under similar circumstances. All obstacles toward organic union have been overcome and the union is to be officially consum' mated on November 16th at John' stown, Pennsylvania, where the uniting general conference is to be held. The ceremonies on that oc' casion will be the climax of sixteen years of intensive study and co' operation on the part of both denominations. The name of the new de' nomination will be the Evangelical United Brethren Church which will then be a denomination of approximately 750,000 members. At the present time, the United Brethren Church main' tains five colleges and one seminary and the Evangelical Church main' tains three colleges and two semi' n;iries. Our colleges are Otterbein at Westerville; Lebanon Valley at Annville, Pennsylvania; Indiana Central at Indianapolis, Indiana; York at York, Nebraska; and Shenandoah at Dayton, Virginia. The Evangelical colleges are Ab bright at Reading, Pennsylvania; North Central at Naperville, Illi' nois; and Western Union at Le' Mars, Iowa.

It was August 31, 1847. The stage driver was proud of his horses and determined that one of these time he would make the trip from Columbus to Westerville in an hour and a half. Today, however, two young ladies were passengers and he felt obliged to drive more care^ fully than usual. The dust was inches thick and rose in clouds about the “hack,” no matter how slowly he drove. He was glad the State Road had been cordu' royed for, although even that could not keep down the dust, it would be possible now for the stage to make the trip in winter without being mired down at every low place in the road. ___ _

ARRIVAL AT WESTERVILLE________

After a short stop at Blendon Corners to pick up passengers from the east, he assisted the young ladies to their places and started on again. It was not far now to Westerville. Soon they passed Bishop’s Lane (now Walnut Street) which ran east to Walnut Creek. They could hear the frogs croaking in the pond on the west side of the road where the new sawmill stood. Finally they clattered across the white bridge over the little stream which found its source in the swamp and emptied into the pond south of the sawmill. More than the usual group were gathered in front of the store to see the stage arrive. There was great excitement in Westerville today, for the two young ladies in the coach were to be students at Otterbein University, scheduled to open the following day. Miss C. Murray, teacher in the Female De^ partment of the new school, met the new students at the door of the brick dormitory which was to be their home. She escorted them to their room where all was in readiness for their coming. New feather beds were piled high and new quilts covered their bed. Every lamp chimney was shining clean and the iron stove had been polished to shiny blackness in anticipation of the winter days to come. The young ladies considered themselves very fortunate to be permitted to enter this place of higher learning, for it was one of only two colleges in America open to women students. OPENING DAY

Eight students were present for the opening chapel service at 9:00 the next day, September 1, 1847. They gathered with the people of Wester^ ville and a few United Brethren who had journeyed to Westerville for the occasion because of their deep interest in establishing an institution of higher learning “for the benefit of the Church and all mankind.” Principal William R. Griffith delivered a stir' ring address on the opening day. There were also

portions of Scripture read and fervent prayers offered for the blessing and guidance of God in the new enterprise, that it might prove a blessing to the church and “promote the glory of God.” BLENDON SEMINARY

Westerville was a town of scarcely more than a dozen families when Otterbein opened her do<3rs for the first time. In 1838 Matthew and Peter Westervelt had donated 27 acres for the establish' ment of Blendon Young Men’s Seminary. Eight acres were used for the main campus and the balance was plotted to be sold as town lots. Two buildings were erected, the first a twO'Storey frame building 44 feet by 26 feet, containing a chapel, a library room, three recitation rooms, and a bell cupola. More ambitious was the three^storey brick dormitory structure, which was 66 feet long and 28 wide. Blendon Young Men’s Seminary had a short existence, for the founding of Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware in 1842 withdrew the support of the Methodists of the territory and the school was closed in 1845 burdened with a debt of $1,300. It was by assuming this debt that the United Brethren were given the property and the right to establish thereon the institution of higher learning later known as Otterbein College. "OnERBEIN UNIVERSITY"

The founders of Otterbein were completely inexperienced in educational matters, but their earnestness of purpose compensated for their lack of knowledge. Rev. Lewis Davis, first president of Otterbein and called the “father of higher education in the United Brethren Church,” later told of the naming of the institution. “Otterbein University of Ohio was suggested. We thought of college. We did not just know the difference between a college and a university. We thought, somehow, that a university meant more than a college; so we took it all in and called it Otterbein University.” The name was changed to “Otterbein College” in 1917. The stage coach which had brought the first students to Otterbein made regular trips every second day to Columbus. It was not until three years later that the first “iron horse” made its appearance in Columbus, and gas light was a new and wonderful discovery that the cracker^barrel philosophers in the general store declared would “never last.” It was not until a quarter of a century later that Westerville could boast of street lights. A pioneer town on the border of the W^est, an eight'acre tract of land with two buildings, two teachers opening a “University” for the eight students who came that first day — such was the humble beginning of Otterbein College.

The Editor Speakin g— It is a great privilege to be editor of an alumni magazine in a year like this. This honor comes to but few people. Honors bring responsibilities and I and my capable associates, Mrs. William Bale and Mrs. Ralph Smith, gladly accept the responsibility of bringing to you this Centennial year the story of Otterbein’s achievements over the century, her plans for a glorious celebration and her outlook for what promises to be an even greater future. Let us suggest that you keep the four issues of TOWERS this year for they will be your Centennial souvenir publications. There is a possibility that the June issue will be enlarged and made a special Centennial number, but you will want to keep all issues this anniversary year.

Wade S. Miller Director, Centennial Program

Our alumni office is here to serve you. Please, therefore, do not hesitate to call upon us during this year for any favors we can render. When you come to the campus this year, as I am sure you will, drop in our office for a little chat and sign the new big Centennial register. -Wade S. Miller

Weic ome Homecomers —

Louis A. Weinland, '30 President, Alumni Council

Homecoming this year will be the biggest and most important in the history of Otterbein. It is the climactic year in the life of the college and every Otterbein person who can possibly make it will be here to celebrate with his friends. Those who were in Service have been dreaming of this Homecoming for a long time. There will be nearly nine hundred students to greet you. More men are out for football this year than the total male enrollment two years ago. There can be no doubt that we will have the most beautiful queen, the most elaborate parade, the best football game, the biggest bull sessions, and the classiest play. The Homecoming ox roast will be an interesting innovation. On behalf of the Alumni Council I want to welcome you to the day’s festivities. —Louis A. Weinland

The Keys to the City —

Howard W. Elliott, '15 Mayor, City of Westerville

Here at Westerville, Ohio, and Otterbein College are things that you just cannot put down in writing, or in pictures. Especially does this seem true at “Fall Homecoming.” There is the blaze of fall colors, the decorated Fraternity Houses, the painted streets with footsteps, twenty feet long leading down College Avenue to the Ad Building. Then there is the Homecoming football game with Albion, the crowii' ing of the Homecoming Queen, the luncheons, the parties, the many meetings of old friends. Forming a stage and background for all of the above-mentioned activities is the Village of Westerville. We as its citizens are indeed proud of Otterbein College and we assure you that we will do everything in our power to make you feel at home here during Homecoming week end. All we ask is that you avail yourself of the opportunity to visit again with us. The keys of the “quiet peaceful village” are yours. Make use of them November the 9th, 1946. —Howard W, Elliott

ALL ROADS LEAD TO WESTERVILLE IN 1946-47 Three Major Celebrations Planned CENTENNIAL HOMECOMING. NOVEMBER 9 The first great event of the Centennial year will be the Homecoming celebration on November 9. The day starts with the crowning of the Queen in the Alumni Gymnasium at 9:30 A.M. This ceremony will be fob lowed by a historical parade, “One Hundred Years at Otterbein College,” which will form at the Gymnasium and cover the main streets of Westerville.

the Church'Related Liberal Arts College in the Conflict between Nationalism and Internationalism.” Speakers for this special occasion will be announced in the next issue of your Towers.

CENTENNIAL COMMENCEMENT, JUNE 5-9

Ample time has been reserved for sorority and fra' ternity luncheons at 12:15, with no other event scheduled until time for the football game with Albion at 2:15. Lunch will be served at the United Brethren Church also during that time.

The year will reach its highest peak for alumni in the Commencement celebration next June. Beginning on Thursday evening, June 5, with the first performance of a historical drama depicting significant episodes in the his' tory of Otterbein, the period of celebrat'on will extend through the Centennial Conmencement on Monday, June 9.

A Homecoming innovation which hearkens back to the days of the founding fathers is the Ox Roast after the football game. This event will be held on the West Campus and in the Alumni Gym, where an informal program will be held under the leadership of “The Inquir' ing Reporter.” Students, alumni and friends will join in a good old'fashioned get'together. You’ll see every' body there!

The program on Friday will include Open House in all departments of the college, historical exhibits showing the growth of the college program in its many phases, the senior class day program, a revival of Open Sessions in the four Literary Societies, and Open House in the sor' orities and fraternities.

CENTENNIAL FOUNDERS' DAY. APRIL 25 and 26 The second event in the Centennial celebration will be the two'day conference to be held on April 25 and 26 in commemoration of the date of the first trustees’ meet' ing on April 26, 1847. The program of the first day will be of especial in' terest to church leaders, the second to educators. The theme of the conference will be “The Responsibility of

SOUVENIR PLATES Here is a bit of Otterbein to keep as a reminder of the great days of this year. Made of the red clay of Otter' bein’s campus, these plates are hand fashioned and hand decorated by Graylor Studio and are on sale by the Westerville A.A.U.W. The price is $2.50. Mrs. J. Russell Norris, 49 West Main Street, Westerville, will take your order. The plates are approxi' mately 7V2 inches in diameter and come in three color combinations: (1) the color of the natural clay as it shows through the transparent glaze, with white lettering, (2) white back' ground with the natural clay lettering, and (3) white background with blue lettering.

Exhibits and conducted tours of the campus will be continued on Saturday morning. Athletic events and a tea by the Westerville Otterbein Woman's Club for all campus visitors will feature the afternoon’s program, with class reunions being held at the Alumni Banquet in the evening, followed by the second performance of the Cen' tennial drama. Sunday, June 8, will be devoted to the Baccalaureate ' service, a tea given by President and Mrs. Howard for all campus guests, musical programs, and a World Wide Ser' vice Program by the YMCA and YWCA. Centennial Commencement will be held at 10:00 on Monday, June 9.

Homecoming Queens — Past and Present It is probable that from the second year of Otterbein’s existence, former students “came home’’ to the campus to meet their friends at certain times in the year. No doubt these gatherings first took place at the commencement season. We are not sure just when the first fall Homecoming was held, but we find records of Homecomings from the time the first Tan and Cardinal was printed in 1917. Old timers will no doubt tell us that they were held long before that. The Homecoming in 1921 was a significant one, for it was the year of the Diamond Jubilee. Elaborate four^page invitations were sent out, a program befitting the occasion was presented, and a welcoming committee was on hand to meet all visitors at the trolley.

From her Majesfy — Greetings to all Alumni and friends: I wish to welcome you to this, our biggest and best

A football game has always been a feature of the fall Homecoming celebrations, but it was not until 1933 that a queen was elected to reign over the festivities. She was Miss Marjorie Bowser, a sophomore. Thus was a tradition inaugurated. Marjorie was succeeded by her sister Louise the following year.

Homecoming. There will be the largest crowd in Otterbein’s history here this Centennial Year, and we want you to come and enjoy the activities of the day with us. We, the student body, have been looking forward to this Home' coming with much anticipation. Now since that day is approaching, we want our friends to share these festivities with us.

I \now you will not want to miss this eventful

day, which will remain in your memory for years to come. Barbara Bone Marjorie Bowser Goddard, '36

The first Homecoming queen is now Mrs. James Goddard, wife of a doctor in Mt. Victory, Ohio, and the mother of three children. Louise is now Mrs. Denton Elliott. She recently resigned her position as secretary to the dean of women at Ohio State University to accompany her husband to Plattsburg, New York, where he will teach at Champlain College.

Football in

1947

With the largest football squad in Otterbein s history Coaches George Novotny and Red” Bailey expect to put on the field every Saturday a team which will more than hold its own against competitors of its class. The Tan and Cardinal eleven got off to a good start by holding a strong West Virginia University team to a 13'7 score. Otterbein was supposed to be a breather for the Mountaineers but only a touchdown in the last few min' utes saved them from a tie score. At any rate Otterbein gained a “moral victory.” The game with Detroit Tech proved to be a field day for the Novotny'Bailey Head Football Coach coached team as it ran up a 57'0 score. The score might have been much higher had not the second and third teams played most of the second half. At this early date no conference titles are predicted for six more games remain and anything can happen when Otterbein plays such teams as Denison Heidelberg, or Capital. On the other hand the Cardinals are not conceding that there is a better team on their schedule and each will be taken in succession. Win draw, or lose, you will see a great, hard hitting, fast charging team any time yoii see the boys in action. GEORGE NOVOTNY

The Homecoming opponent will be Albion, the team which was one of the toughest opponents played last year. A good game is assured—and there will be no waiting for admission as last year. The game will be played on the high school field We still need to sell 407 seats to make the stadium project a reality but we are confident that all will be sold in the near future.

1890

Athletics proper began at Otterbein in the fall of 1889. Robert E. Spear, Princeton scholar and athlete, visited the college and explained the game of football. Most of the boys caught the “fever" and determined to be represented on the gridiron. But they had no football! A stu dent, Ernest S. Barnard, succeeded in raising $4.00 with which the first foot ball was purchased. Two games were played in 1890 and both games were lost. These defeats stirred up the Otterbein students who sent to Dayton and hired a Mr. A. L.

During his four years as a student “Rev" Barnard did more for athletics than any other man at Otterbein. He did not play much but he was a close student of the game and of the rules. Most of the time he officiated at football and baseball games. In 1895, the year following his graduation, “Rev " was appointed coach and sports took on new life. Otterbein again defeated Ohio State and won from Ohio Wesleyan, Ohio Medical, and U. S. A. Barracks in Columbus. The team lost to Kenyon and in the last game played at Dayton against Denison. The game was called on account of darkness with Otterbein on the Denison three-yard line with the score tied. Sports, too, had humble beginnings at Otterbein.

1593 STADIUM SEATS SOLD

THAT INCOME TAX AGAIN!

Construction Delayed

Give Up To Tour IS Per Cent

In sixty days another calendar year will come to a close and you will have to reckon with the income tax man. Have you given to worthy causes up to 15% of your income? The law allows you to claim that much as legitimate deductions. Consider a gift to Otterbein before the year’s end. That provision was made so that benevolent'minded individuals might help worthy institutions with money which is tax free. Consult a lawyer or tax expert if you are not sure how the law operates.

Although permission was secured from the Civilian Production Administration to build the stadium, construction had to be delayed due to lack of funds. The trustees have learned the hard way that no construction should be started until the money is in hand. To date slightly over three fourths of the funds required are available and it is hoped that the balance can be raised in the next few months so that construction can begin early next spring and the Memorial Stadium completed for use next fall. If the money can be raised in time, perhaps the corner stone laying ceremonies can be conducted as a part of the Centennial celebration next June. With the large student body a stadium is all the more necessary. It has been necessary to play all home games this year on the high school field in order to have adequate seating.

LIBRARY GIFTS Seventy'three men and women have joined the Century Club — the group making possible the new Centennial library. Many of the seventy^three have given their gifts in memory of friends or loved ones and this is a most worthy way to perpetuate their memory. Others have given in honor or in appreciation of some friend or friends. In several instances members of families have combined their gifts to make up the one thousand dollars. In many cases individuals have divided their payments over several years claiming income tax deductions each year. Pledges will still be accepted on this basis although this is the Centennial year. Can we yet find twenty'seven men and women among our alumni and former students who will join the Century Club?

This is an earnest appeal that all those who have not yet bought a seat do so before the end of this year. Frankly, the number contributing has been somewhat disappointing. It was felt that every alumnus and former student could with but little sacrifice buy at least one seat. On the contrary less than half have done so. The project is so worthy and the asking is so small. Aren’t there 407 more alumni who will contribute $20.00 each during this Centennial year? All gilts count on the Memorial Stadium and as Centennial contributions.

The Architect's Conception of Barlow Hall We present here for the first time the architect's conception of what the new Barlow Hall will look like. It will be remembered that Mr. Shauck E. Barlow left $240,000 in his will for Otterbein and the trustees have earmarked that fund for a new dormitory for women and a new dining hall adequate to accommodate our largest alumni dinners. Barlow Hall will be built on the lot directly east of Cochran and will be connected in the way shown in the drawing. The dining hall will not be in the dormitory but will be connected to and extend south from the new dormitory. The new additions will be modern in every respect and will furnish much needed facilities. Cochran is also to be renovated as soon as possible. How soon construction can begin has not been decided. At present materials are not available and when they are on the market the costs may be prohibitive.
