Sanders A. Frye Doctor of Engineering

Sanders A. Frye has shared his unique talents with Otterbein College and the Westerville community for thirty years. His varied creative interests and abilities are reflected in the physical plant of this institution and in his noteworthy inventions and collections.

"Sandy" Frye was born in Milo, Ohio, in Franklin County and attended college at nearby Ohio State University, where he earned a degree in civil engineering. His early employment experience with the Northwestern, New York Central and Pennsylvania railroads helped him develop a fascination and love for anything that involved railroads.

His interest in construction work took him to the West Virginia Road Commission and then to the L. L. LeVeque Company of Columbus, where he supervised the construction of schools, industrial buildings, commercial and apartment buildings. During

this time he directed construction of Olentangy Village in Columbus, one of the first post-World War II "complete communities . "

In 1947, he came to Otterbein College as its business manager, a post he held until 1965. During this period, significant physical growth was recorded under Mr. Frye's leadership Barlow Hall, the Alumni Stadium, the Library addition to Towers Hall, the Observatory and Planetarium additions to the Science Building, Clements, Hanby, Mayne, Scott, Sanders, Garst , Engle and Davis residence halls, the Heating Plant, the Campus Center and Cowan Hall.

Sanders Frye's activities were not limited to the campus. During this same period of time, he served as a member of Westerville City Council, the Westerville Charter Commission and the Westerville Library Board

Several of his ingenious constructions and exhibits have added to the special flavor of celebrations in Westerville : an old-fashioned trolley car for the city's Sesquicentennial, a model of Independence Hall for the Bicentennial, a children's train and a working calliope for the Fourth of July Parade .

His ingenuity was perhaps climaxed by his patented invention of the automatic pin spotter, now manufactured and marketed as an intrinsic feature of one of the nation's largest leisure-time activities, bowling. His published articles about Otterbein's then-innovative heating system brought the college recognition in 1956, long before energy was a matter of national concern. His lovely, restored home adjacent to the campus contains his extensive collections of rai Iroad lanterns and model trains.

Sanders Frye's interests, however, are not just in buildings and trains. His deep interest in young people has been reflected throughout his career. Otterbein students beyond number have been treated to his hospitality and thoughtful advice

For his outstanding service to Otterbein College during its period of greatest growth, for his continuing contributions to his community and for his abiding concern for young people, Otterbein College is proud to honor the skillful hands and creative mind of Sanders Admiral Frye with the degree Doctor of Engineering.

John Alan Smith, M.D. Doctor of Humanities

In 1963 the Council for Health and Welfare Service of the United Church of Christ presented a plaque to Dr and Mrs. John Alan Smith in conjunction with the American Protestant Hospital Association. The award was given "in grateful recognition of faithfulness and proficiency in the ministry of diakonia, having offered not only a significant personal witness but the quality of leadership that inspires others to pursue the same exalted goals."

John Smith received the B . A . and B . S. degrees cum laude from Otterbein College, the Master of Divinity from United Theological Seminary , and the M.D. from The Ohio State University For thirty years he served as missionary physician and medical director of Ryder Hospital in Humacao , Puerto Rico, bringing Christian compassion with healing to thousands, through hospital services and outpatient clinics and to rural patients in inaccessible areas.

He was named a Distinguished Alumnus of Otterbein in 1964, received the Medico del Ano at Ryder Hospital in 1975, and special awards from the United Evangelical Church of Puerto Rico and from the Evangelical Council of Puerto Rico . The College of Medicine of The Ohio State University presented him its Achievement Award in September , 1976 .

Doctor Smith saw Ryder Hospital grow in size, technology and service from a staff of two with 35 beds to a modern facility with a medical staff of 35 and well-equipped medical, bacteriological and X-ray laboratories, a blood bank, new operating rooms and a pharmacy three times the size of the former facility. The new outpatient facilities make adequate care possible for the hundreds of Humacao district patients who come in a steady stream by foot, horseback, bicycle, car and jeep

The war against such diseases as malaria, tuberculosis and typhoid and the continuing problems of parasites and malnutrition have occupied Doctor Smith and his associates through the years, and new methods and new facilities were matched by his compassionate love for the people of the area. Total integration of "public" and "private" facilities and the development of ambulatory care for less critically ill patients have provided means by which thousands of underprivileged Puerto Ricans have received health care equal to that of their neighbors.

Born in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, the son of the late Dr. John Franklin Smith , '10, and his wife, Katharine Barnes Smith, '01, John came in early boyhood to live in Westerville, where his father was a member of the faculty of Otterbein College. All four Smith children are graduates of Otterbein .

Doctor Smith and his wife, the former Virginia Norris, Otterbein graduate in the class of 1936, now live in Newport, Tennessee, where he is an appointee of the National Health Service Corps, serving as staff physician of Cocke County Memorial Hospital. Dr. and Mrs. Smith have three sons: John David, a graduate student in architecture; Howard Alan, a senior in medical school ; and Dwight Hamilton, an ornithologist with the Department of Agriculture in Puerto Rico.

For his remarkable service to humanity as a physician, Christian missionary, leader, honored alumnus, Otterbein College is proud to present the degree of Doctor of Humanities to John Alan Smith, M.D
