HOMECOMING IS SET FORFEBe 24
Closer Contact With Central Office Is Aim
Large Crowd Expected For Game With Dayton U.
By virtue of the action at the Bus:ness Session of the General A lum ni Association in June, Dr. P . H. Kilbourne appointed a committee to canvass th e situation and divide om· territor y in to Districts in order to promote, if possible, a closer con tact with the central office. The committee composed of Mrs. Ralph Smith, Prof. L. A. Weinland, Prof. J . S. E ng le, and Mrs. E . L. Porter spent considerable time in forming districts, and in selecting a leader in each district who w ill be contact man or woma n for the central office. Owin g to our limited knowledge of conditions in some sections, some of t he districts have hat! tu be ch;,.ngcd an d in all probability some others wi ll a lso be altered for topographical and geographical reasons. We only ask that you be as patient as possible with us. T he cooperation and response from the selected leaders has been a source of great joy to us, as so many have answered our request with words w hich mean, "You can count on me!" T hese leaders are n ot to take the places of the r egular officers of groups w hich ar e now functionin g, but are to assist these officers in any way possible. Organized groups, of course, are only possible in sections in which t h ere are a con siderable number of a lumni living. These groups may or may not correspond to the districts as planned. In most cases it would seem best if t hey coincided. A ll the details of the p lan have not been fu lly worked out, but it is our hope that it will grow into a n organization by which th e sec( Continued On Page Three.)
Of the 400 or 500 Alumni and friends who yelled with glee last year as they saw an invincible Otterbein basketball team clearly outclass the U niversity of Dayton team ab out 250 or more should be makin,g .preparation to- trek to the campus, February 24, w hen the two teams take the floor for a return game. Otterbein has lost two All~Ohio Conference men in Sam Andrews and Barney Francis a s wdl as that stalwart guard Paui Maibach but w ith some mighty good material coming up from the lower classes the team should give a good account of itself. It would •be too much to exp ect such a season as I~ , t vea r when the team wnn 12 victories ~vithout a defeat in a tough schedule. However the spirit is high and th e games will be worth anybody's time. Last year's team was the final result, no doubt, of the new Alumni gymnasium. This building has not only g iven us better teams but has become the center of interest for all male students in a year ro und program. This building is the 1busiest place on the campus as the splendid P hysical Education program for 1boys is carried out during the year. Professor R. F. Martin, head of Physical •Education, deserves m u ch credit for h aving developed such a strong course and for the enthusiasm which he has instilled into th e work of the young m en. Nine ty-five p ercent of the men in college are engaged in some kind of physical development through regular teams or intramura l competition. The youn-g ladies are equally as well taken care of in the gymnasium which was beautifully refitted for them in the Association building. Miss Elizabeth M. Garland is the efficient Director and while ther·e is no intercollegiate competition, the g irls are (Continued On Page Two.)
OTTERBEIN SCi:ENCE DEPT. IS WELL KNOWN About one out o-f ten in thi s year's freshm an class is enrolled in the premedic course. It is becoming more increasingly common for students who expect to fol low m edicine a s a profession to take their pre-medic course in some school other than the professional school. This leaves them fre e a t the end of the preparatory course to choose more car efully the m edical co-liege w hich they wish to attend. Otter bein's Scien ce Department under the direction of Dr. L. A . Weinland, Dr. E . W. E. Schear a nd Profe ssors Hanawalt, Esselstyn and McCloy h as become recog nized as one of the best in Ohio and is drawing students from all over the country. The splendid science building with its generous individual equipment g ives our science students a splendid opportunity to ~et the best.
JOSIAH P LANDIS URILLA H . GUITNER At the commencement in 1929 the Association authorized the awarding of a cane to be known as the Alumni Cane to th e oldest graduate, by class. The first recipient of the Cane was Mrs. Benjam111 H.. Hanby of Redondo Beach, Calif., a member o-f the firs t graduating class, 1857. At the time of her death the cane was passed on to Miss Urilla Hortense Guitner, Washington, D. C. of the class of 1865. Miss Guitn er died July 25, 1933. Our r ecords show that there are two living members of t he class of 1869, Mrs. D. D. DeLong of Los Angeles and Dr. J . P. Landi s o-f Dayton. As Mrs. DeLong will be 88 in Janu·ary, 1934, and as Dr. Landis was 90 years young on October 27, 1933, the Alumni Council awarded the Cane to Dr. Landis. Dr. Landis, in spite of his years, does not need a cane, being still straight and stalwart. He has con sented to keep it as a symbol of respect and homage from his fellow a lumni. A formal presentation will be arranged at some time during thi s winter in the city of Dayton.
EDU. CONFERENCE JO
BE HE'LD ON CAMPUS Janua r y second and third another Educational Conference will be h eld at Otterbein. Those participating will be the general church of-ficers, the conference superintendents, the Directors of Religious E ducation, and delegates from each of the conferences composing the Otterbein territory. These conferences in the past have contributed much to a better understanding o.f the problems of Education as they are related to the college.
J osiah Pen nabeck cr Landi s, A . B., Otterbein 1869, was born in Brickersv ille, Pa. He received hi s A . M. degree from Otterbein in 1872, D. D. from the same college in 1882, and his P h. D. degree from Woos te r in 1839. He was a student in both the \ Vestern Theological Seminary a nd Lane Semi nary, '69-'7 1. Pastor Summit Station U . B .

He assisted in Editorial work of the U. B . S unday School Literature fo r nine years, and served as president of t he O hio Sunday School U ni on 1884-1886. Dr. L andis is and always has been a loyal Otterbe n man, returning at freque n t intervals to en joy the reunion with his classmates of other days. Being of a fin e literary temperament, his productions wh en he returned to Philamathea, his college litera r y society, often took the form of poetry . The Alumni take notice of his long a nd useful life and wish him m an y more years in which to enj oy the evening of a useful life. From the Religious T elescope. "Dr. J. P. Landis, for more than SO years a professo·r in Bonebrake Theological Seminary, was retired from active work in the class room at the m eeting of the board of trtistees in May, 1932, and was given the r elation of Professor Emeritus." " Dr. Landis will h ave many calls for pulpit and platform service, and will devot e much of his time to research work in the fi elds in whch he is especially interested."

ALUMNI START NEW PLAN Continued From Page One retary can keep in closer touch with events in every section of the country. In section s too sparsely settled by alumni, no leaders have been mentioned. Scattered as we are around the world, it is difficult to feel that we are a part of one great organization"Tlie Alumni Body of Otterbein. " Great credit is due in certain sections for the splendid sp1nt which has carried on the local groups. These have been an inspiration and a source of joy to the executives of the General Association. One thing is lacking to make this better, and that is a closer relation to the Association as a whole. If this is not reco-gnized, the Genera l Alumni As sociation is of small value and is hampered in the work which it can do. In some colleges and in all service organizations, dues in the local organization include an amount to be forwarded to the parent organization . vVe are not ready to say that this is the best thing for us, but we do say that for the general good, reports of meetings and the work carried on should be sent regularly to the general office. These reports will be incentives to other local group s and to those not in groups to carry on more earnestly . Again we wish to publicly thank those who have consented to help us keep in touch with the alumni the world around. A paragraph in the letter sent to district leaders reads as follows: "We hope by this plan to: I. Secure a stronger and better functioning organization; 2. Maintain a closer contact with the the central office; 3. Build and nurture a better understanding and sympathetic attitude among the alumni; 4. Secure more universal support for the general association; 5. Keep Otterbein constantly before the minds of our people. If this can be accomplished, eventually there will be a greater return to the districts in the possibility of more students and increased interest among the Alumni in the plans and poli cies, both of the Association and the College."

YOUR CO-OPERATION IS NEEDED Heartened as we have been by replies to our plea for cooperation by responses from B oston to Berkeley, and from Michigan to Miami, yet we must continue to ask those who h ave n·o t done so to enroll in the Association. Many loyal alumni put the fee for Association membership in their yearly budgets and are always prompt in remittance. There are some who are not int erested, perhaps, but in most cases it is just negligence. They really expect to get in with their part of the expense, but keep forgetting or putting it off until the opportunity has passed. To publish a paper such as this and mail out 2,000 copies costs a considerable sum of money. Yet we believe without this contact , poor as it may be, that the interest of the alumni in the activities of the college would suffer a decided slump. Are you willing to give four cents, a postage stamp and a third, per week to support the activities of the A ssociaion which has for its object the promotion of the best interests of O tterbein? A live, active Association can do much. It is YOUR Association. Your pledge, check, or cash will help. ALUMNI SECRET ARY
