Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to unlabeled page 3 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio] Introduction Long before the first pioneers came, Indian tribes had established a camp in Delaware on the trail lead- ing from the lower Scioto valley northward to the Sandusky Bay area. A variety of medicinal springs may have been a factor in their se- lection. One of these springs is still productive on the Ohio Wesleyan campus. In 1808, a division of Franklin County created Delaware County. The city was founded the same year. It immediately became the county seat, and because it is almost at the geographical center of the State of Ohio, and because then, as is true to- day, it was situated conveniently on some of the main thoroughfares of the state, it was seriously considered for the state capitol before Columbus was selected. In the early 1800's Delaware was one of the most popular health re- sorts in what was known as the "west." Its Mansion House Hotel with its sulphur spring was, in fact, pictured on Staffordshire plates from England. During the War of 1812, Delaware served as the headquarters for Gen- eral Harrison. But the city's great- est historical distinction probably stems from the fact that it is the birthplace of our nation's 19th Pres- ident, Rutherford B. Hayes. Many relics of the city's past may be seen at the Delaware County Historical Society Museum at 157 East William Street. For more than a century, Delaware has been one of the outstanding cul- tural centers of the state because it is the home of Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity.

It is nationally known as the home of Ohio Wesleyan University and the site of the "Little Brown Jug" Grand Circuit harness racing classic event held annually each September. A city of over 15,000 population, modern Delaware is a combination of industrial, cultural, and agricultural influences. Its location, midway be- tween Cleveland and Cincinnati, and its proximity to Columbus, together with the presence of the university, have been some of the chief factors in the city's growth. The transpor- tation facilities afforded by two rail- roads, four major U.S. highways, in- clusing easy access to the Interstate highways, and the local municipal air- port have assisted greatly in the de- velopment of Delaware industry. Tree shaded streets, with an inter- mingling of old and new homes and pride of ownership, describe the city's residential areas. Many people who are employed in Columbus and neigh- [photo] boring areas choose to live in Dela- ware. Due to its convenient central Ohio location as well as in the mid- western United States, a great many sales representatives call Delaware home. A modern up-to-date school system affords fine educational opportuni- ties. Modern retail stores offer a wide variety of merchandise. Diversified industry, numerous re- tail and service establishments and many miscellaneous places of employ- ment provide a wide range of job op- portunities. Delaware is operated under an effi- cient city manager/council form of government. Tax dollars are spent wisely. Many city improvements have been completed and others are underway. An expressway facili- tates through traffic. A comprehen- sive city master plan is being up- dated. The Delaware reservoir pro- vides the city with an adequate water supply well into the future. A coun- ty wide water system is under devel- opment. A modern hospital staffed by a corp of fine physicians and surgeons offers the latest in medical care. Situated in Delaware County are three large dams and their reservoirs with two more in the construction and planning stage. Boating and fish- ing abound on all sides. Golf needs are fulfilled by a country club and numerous private and public courses. A full-time recreation program is maintained by the city. Ohio Wesleyan offers the towns- people concerts, plays, and noted speakers. Community and college sports attract many fans. All of the cultural advantages of the Columbus area are just minutes away. One of the finest summer stock theatres in the midwest is located only 12 miles south of the city.

Be- ing a small city, Delaware has many fine homes in the suburban-rural area with acreage. These are priced from $18,000 to $35,000, depending on the age of the home, size, location, and the amount of acreage. Real estate here has maintained its value over the years, as pride of ownership is excellent. Insurance All areas of Delaware County are protected by well-trained, well- equipped fire departments. A num- ber of these departments also main- tain emergency vehicles with person- nel trained in first aid procedures. The City of Delaware enjoys a class 5 fire rate by the Ohio Rating Bur- eau. The department is also recog- nized as being one of the better trained in the state. The department carries on an ex- tensive fire training program in all industrial plants in the city as well as a safety program within the school. Delaware County is rated territory 39 which allows its residents the most reasonable automobile rate available in Ohio. Communications Local radio stations include WDLR, WRFD, WSLN-FM and WBBY-FM. All Columbus metropolitan radio, three network television stations and one UHF Station, WOSU, operated by Ohio State University, offer excellent reception.

Description An account of the resource [page 25] [corresponds to unlabeled page 25 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio] Agriculture Agriculture is important to the economy of this county. The 1964 United States Census of Agriculture states that there were 1286 farms covering 206,861 acres. This repre- sents 73 percent of the county area. In 1968, the total cash sales of farm produce were $14,801,000. Dairy products, soy beans and grains are the leading sources of in- come. Other major products include cattle and hogs. Lesser products in- clude poultry, sheep and wool, horses, honey, oats, hay, popcorn, vegetables and fruits. The various soils of Delaware County are composed of residues from three glaciers. The most recent was the Wisconsin Glacier of about 20,000 years ago. Soils formed by glacial drift are productive and re- spond to good management. The trend in Delaware County is follow- ing the national trend toward fewer, larger, and more mechanized farms. Specialization is in effect as the coun- ty is located near areas of population expansion. This provides desirable marketing facilities for all farm pro- ducts. Agriculture education and informa- tion is made available to all interest- ed residents of the county by the ex tension workers and vocational teach- ers in all county and city schools. There are eighty 4-H Clubs in the county and city with departments of Future Farmers and Future Home- makers. Climate The climate of the county is contin- ental, characterized by moderately warm summers and cold though usu- ally not severe winters. The mois- ture is well distributed throughout the year. The mean annual precipi- tation is 36.76 inches with 17.32 inch- es from May thru September. The summer seasson has 70% sunny days. An average year has 101 clear days, 118 partly cloudy and 146 cloudy days. The average mean tempera- tures are 28 degrees in January and 73 degrees in July.

Description An account of the resource [page 4] [corresponds to unlabeled page 4 of Kilbourne Bicentennial Day Program] Kilbourne History In this age of plenty, it is somewhat difficult to realize what straits the pioneers were subjected to in their everyday living. They often had to pay 60 cents a pound for coffee and when cash was short, parched corn or burnt potatoes served as a substitute. Calico was 40 and 50 cents a yard, and if the wife and daughters were able to obtain one calico dress a year, they deemed themselves fortunate. Sugar was manufactured from their own "camps" and when sold brought from 4 to 6 cents a pound. Those who raised wheat sold what was not used at home at a market in Zanesville for 37 to 50 cents a bushel. They eventually found a better market at Sandusky, where the wheat was sold for $1.00 a bushel. But with the building of the railroads the markets were brought closer to their homes. RAILROADS The township had the benefit of one railroad--Cleveland, Co- lumbus, Cincinnati plus Indianapolis or Bee Line, which passes through the western part of the township. It was the first railroad built through Delaware County and was of considerable benefit to the country by bringing the best markets closer to Leonardsburg. A railroad bed was built in the township by the Springfield, Mt. Vernon and Pittsburg R.R. Co., but was never completed. It was to be known as the "Black Diamond" Railroad. According to reports, parts of the old road bed can still be seen on different farms in the township, and the abutments for the railroad on Alum Creek are still standing. Leonardsburg or Eden Station, which was located six miles north of Delaware and laid out by S. G. Caulkins, was called Leonardsburg, for A. Leonard, the first merchant. He also built a grain warehouse and was the first Postmaster. He was succeeded a few years later in the Post Office Department by A. R. Livingston. BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS The village of Eden was surveyed and land laid out by Isaac Eaton, for the proprietors Isaac Leonard and Daniel Thurston, who owned the land. The location of an eligible site for the village was chosen at the crossing of the road running east and west and one running north and south along the creek. A log cabin built by John Finley was the first house and the first frame dwelling was built by Wm. Williams. This type of archi- tecture caused quite a stir in the community and soon the little town could boast of several frame buildings. Many houses are still standing including the first cabin. Joseph Leonard was the first merchant in Eden. In 1838 Williams and Loofbourrow opened a store and created competition. In 1830 Ezekiel Longwell built a sawmill on Alum Creek within the limits of the village. Lumber had been rather scarce before the building of this Title A name given to the resource Kilbourne Bicentennial Day Program (p. 4) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/e134959a260e0ac4e477e7487989177a.jpg 612778e55e30e2dfb4c7d52c5ed96f89 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Later Longwell's mill was repaired by William K. Thrall who also built a grist mill in connection with it. About 1830 a blacksmith shop was opened by C. Thrall. It was 21 years after the first settlement before there was a post- office in the township. In 1838 the Government commissioned Kilbourne Thrall as postmaster and called the office Kilbourne. A little later a tavern was opened by Seymour Scott, the first in the village. S. Scott carried on a spinning and carding factory in the community. A blacksmith ship stood on land across from the Reggie Langford property; also, one was situated on the property across from the Methodist Church. Hattie Elmore and Grace Marie Bell ran a restaurant which was located across from Schirtzinger's grocery and behind the old Parish House. A boarding house was located in the home where Helen Conger formerly lived. Ray Blain and Wes Ott owned a saw mill. A funeral home run by Ed Wilcox was formerly located where the Methodist parsonage is located. A grocery operated by Jim Myers and later Gene Richardson was located where Reeder's store and the postoffice is now located. Jim and Bob Leonard owned a grocery store for several years, and it was taken over by Bob Leonard and operated for many years until finally the doors were closed in 1969. This store was located on Route 521 in Kilbourne. It was formerly owned by Smith and Butters. A tile factory was located in Kingston Township on State Route 521 at about the old Shively place. The barn can still be seen from the road. A creamery was operated in Eden for many years until the advent of modern milking handling caused its closing. It stood behind the old K. P. hall. Don Scott, Haywood Neville and Russell Waldron operated a garage for many years and it continued in operation until about 1973 when Russell Waldron retired and the garage was sold. Two doctors who served the community were: Dr. Stickney and Dr. H.C.Crane. Both were old fashioned practitioners. Dr. Stickney lived in the house which now belonds to Thurman Trimble: while Dr. Crane lived in the former Frank Link home. Perhaps of the two doctors, Dr. Crane has remained the best remembered of the two, perhaps because of his fiery personality. He was a remarkable man in many ways and also a very well educated man. He practiced for 46 years and died in 1947. After his death, a tombstone was erected over his grave on which was enscribed the words as follows: "A book wise wight, a shining light right well he could have been. But missed the mark, alas, the dark about him has closed in." This memorial to Dr. Crane was spearheaded by the Knights of Pythias in Kilbourne, and the money raised by asking $1.00 per person to help pay for the monument and inscription. Kilbourne has changed a lot since the days of its founding.

Description An account of the resource [page 6] [corresponds to unlabeled page 6 of Kilbourne Bicentennial Day Program] The businesses which once flourished here have vanished, except a grocery store, and Kilbourne has become mostly residential. The old iron bridge on Howard Road was replaced by an iron bridge; later a new and higher bridge replaced this because of Alum Creek Resevoir. There is only one church left now in Kilbourne, the Kilbourne United Methodist Church on Route 521. The old Presbyterian Church was closed and is now a meeting place for the Knights of Pythias Lodge, while the old K. P. Building is now privately owned. Roads in the township have been greatly improved and gone are the horse and buggy which used to bring the people to town or to church on a quiet Sunday. These have been replaced by the automobile and motorcycle. Some feel that this is progress, and yet others wonder in these days of shortages and soaring prices, if the old days in Kilbourne were perhaps better.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to unlabeled page 7 of Kilbourne Bicentennial Day Program] THE HISTORY OF BROWN TOWNSHIP SCHOOL The township's early schools were of the crudest type; for the buildings were small one-roomed houses, built of logs with a great fire place at one side. As these schools were few and far between, many hardships were endured by the pupils, such as walking several miles over bad roads through woods and fields in all kinds of weather. TEN DISTRICTS IN BROWN TOWNSHIP The Leonardsburg School This school was identified as No. 11. This was a frame building which stood on the west side of the village on an alley running south from the main street. This building was preceded by two earlier ones. This building is now the second story of a little barn on Mrs. Bert Potter's place. The last teacher here was Nellie Mc Creary. The Elm Valley School This was a frame building, now gone, that stood at the northeast corner of old Rt. 42 and the Reed Road, just across from Everett Griffith's place. This was District 9. The last teacher there was Carrie Lewis in 1915-16. The Brushwood School This school building, down only a few years, stood at the northwest corner where the township road intercepts State Rt. 521 at Glenn T. Sheets' place. No. 3 district was composed predominently of Irish families and traditionally had an Irish Catholic teacher. Big Run School A brick building,still standing on the west side of the Bowtown Road just south of Walter Humes' place, and owned by him. This was preceded by a frame building. The brick building was built in 1877 by Thomas Humes at a cost of $547. The brick for this building, and for the house occupied by our honored guest tonight, were burned in a field up the road just a few hundred feet. School was held in this District 2 right up until centralization. The last teacher was Stella Keller. Westover School This brick building stood on the north side of Rt. 36-37 on the lot where Kenneth Nutt's house is being remodeled. On the records this was District 4, but was known to many as the English School. The last teacher in 1915-16 was Rose Reinard. This building was sold and razed shortly after it went out of use. Occassionally Berlin Township pupils attended here. Roanoke School This frame building stood about 2 miles south of Kilbourne on the west side of County Road 10 on the corner of Altea Yarhouse's farm where it joins the farm of Howard Heinlen. There was a maximum of eight families in District 7, so for many years the enrollment was too small to warrant hiring a teacher and pupils were transported, many Title A name given to the resource Kilbourne Bicentennial Day Program (p. 7) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/7979bc819689478c242634ded358ab2d.jpg 9301cb42c0ce5de1fd5ee504b4bc0bf6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The frame of the building was moved and for 50 years has been a part of a farm storage building on the Walter Humes farm. Bowers School Located on lower Hogback road and identified as District 8, this frame building has been incorporated into the residence of Tom Jones. No school had been held in this district for several years prior to centralization, probably not later than 1910. Reed School Located east of Kilbourne on County Rd. 65, south of the road, almost opposite the telephone exchange building. This district was No. 5 and had enough pupils for a school only part of the time. This frame building, long ago removed, was used as late as 1905-06, perhaps a little later. McMaster School A frame building is still standing and in use for farm storage on the north side of the road between the old McMaster premises and the Giehl farm. It was not in use for several years before centralization. This was known as "No. 1" district. Built in 1874, Ben and Lyman McMaster lent money at 8% to finish the building. Eden Special School This was District No. 6 until 1875. On the financial records under date of February 16, 1875, is written "Sub-District No. 6 having been set apart and constituted a "Village District" by the Law of 1873 and complied with requirements of said law, the township treasurer drew no funds for said district". Apparently under this law a district became more self-growing, having not only their own directors but their own clerk and treasurer, the funds being allocated to them directly from the county auditor. This district was "Special" anyway because it had the most pupils, had two one-room buildings and two teachers some of the time. High school level subjects were offered to the more advanced students at times. Most of you remember the old storage shed west of this building that was smaller and older of the Eden Special buildings. The newer and better building is now owned by Mr. Herrell (used by Ray Blain for a store for a long time). When in use they were located on the big lot just west of the Presbyterian Church. Joint Districts (White Kingston Township: Township Line School) Located on the east side of 3B's & K Road on Lester Waldron farm. This brick building is still standing. Both Brown and Kingston Township pupils attended. Financial records show that the Brown Township Board regularly paid tuition to the Kingston Township Board for their pupils. Even after the Brown children came to the new centralized school, this school was maintained. In 1950 Brown School consolidated with Ashley and formed Elm Valley. The last class graduated in 1963.

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to unlabeled page 9 of Kilbourne Bicentennial Day Program] In 1962, Elm Valley was consolidated with Radnor and Scioto Valley and formed the Buckeye Valley Schools. In 1964 the first class was graduated from Buckeye Valley. Centralization among schools is a nation-wide movement and is constantly being adopted in new localities. What it means to every boy and girl in Brown Township can readily be seen in the difference between conditions today and several years ago. Our school has sur- mounted many difficulties since opening, but is now going strong and asks the hearty cooperation of every person young or old within its reach. The centralization movement in Brown Township was probably boosted most by Mr. E. E. Ray, District Superintendent. Upon February second, ninteen fifteen, the Township voted on the adoption of the movement and also the appropriation of a certain sum of money for the construction of a suitable building. The result of the election showed a majority of about fifteen or twenty votes in favor of the issue together with an appropriation of thirty-five thousand dollars. In May, 1916, the Board of Education composed of Mr. A. U. Humes, Mr. Joseph Wornstaff, Mr. Fred Plunket, Mr. Charles Sheets, and Mr. Howard Cowgill laid the plans for the proposed building. To these men belong the credit of the construction of this splendid building, which is the pride of every Brown Township man, woman and child. The Messrs. Cahill and Armstrong a Cleveland firm, were engaged as architects. Owing to difficulties of transportation and other causes the building was not completed until March 17, 1917. The school sessions were temporarily opened in September 1916, in the two rooms owned by Mr. Homer Feasel, and the Knights of Pythias Hall, also the township hall and the two old school buildings, with the expectation that our new building would be finished about the first of November. However our anticipation failed to materialize, and not until March 17, 1917 did we find ourselves located in our present home, which is the first fireproof school building in Delaware County.

Description An account of the resource EARLY TOWNSHIP HISTORY The history attaching to this subdivision of Delaware County really begins about 1804 with the discovery of salt in the vicinity, although the first permanent settlement within the present boundaries of the township extends back no farther back than 1817. Brown Township is a division of the county that is replete with historical interest. Originally it occupies the central portion of the county, and and later the north central portion lying in range 18, and by United States survey is township 5. It is bounded on the north by Oxford Township, the east by Kingston, on the south by Berlin, on the west by Delaware and Troy and is (in area) a full township. When Brown Township was organized cannot be determined. The area was entered by settlers as early as 1809 but the first permanent settlement came along eight years later. In those days townships were created by a county commissioner's court, and the records for the years between 1822 and 1831 have been lost or destroyed. It is believed the township was set up between, 1822 and 1816. But all that is known is that it was not a township before 1822, and was one in 1831. The first man known to have lived within the boundaries was Erastus Bowe who came here with his wife and two children from Vermont around 1809. A settlement was made in the extreme southwest corner. He built a cabin and called his place Bowetown, though it was never laid out as a town, or populated except by Bowe and his family. He remained here but a short time, soon moving to Delaware. Daniel G. Thurston is recognized as the first permanent settler in Brown Township, moving from Berlin Township (which at that time was Berkshire Township). He had settled in that region with his family upon his arrival in the county in 1810 from Clinton New York. His settlement was located on the Delaware Sunbury Pike. He worked in a grist mill near his home until he moved into Brown Township seven years later, where he had to start his pioneer life over again. He soon had logs cut for a cabin. A few days later the cabin was raised, the clapboards placed on for a covering, and a floor added to the building. His new home was located on the "salt section," as it was then called. Shortly after his locating Mr. Gorham moved in, but after a business failure left and was lost sight of. Isaac Eaton erected a cabin a little north of Mr. Thurston's. Iasaac Eaton and Isaac Thurston were for several years the only settlers in the present limits of Brown Township. The children of Daniel Thurston were Harriet, who first married Dr. Monroe, and after his death, Dr. John Loofbourrow. Mary married Israel Wood. Joseph married in 1826 a daughter of B. F. Loofbourrow. Elizabeth married Ralph Longwell. Sarah first married Lyman Thrall, and after his death, Andrew Thrall a brother. Phoebe married William K. Thrall. Norton married a Miss Jones.

Samuel married and had eight children, and Barbara married William Livingston. The total number in the family as of 1880 was 287. SALT RESERVATION Among the attractions which brought the first permanent settler to the township was the salt lick, which was discovered in the northeast quarter of the area by United States survey agents. The salt lick was well known to the Indians in the area, and supplied their needs for years before the white man entered the territory. A reservation was made by the United States of 4,000 acres and deeded to the State of Ohio for Educational purposes. It was called the Salt Reservation. Some years later, perhaps 1804 or 1805 Dr. John Loofburrow moved into what is now Berkshire Township. He was from Virginia and located on what afterward became the Eckelberry farm. After a short time he sold out and moved to the Durham farm, lying just east of Alum Creek on the Delaware Sunbury Pike. Here he lived and practiced his profession for many years. He had with him his old faithful man "Friday" Oko Richey. When Dr. Loofburrow learned from some friendly Indians where they obtained their salt with his servant and a few of the Indians, he made a visit to the locality, which he found only about five miles to the north, and just "up creek" from his own settlement. He and Oko procured large iron kettles, built furnaces and commenced the manufacturing of salt. Al- though a very slow process, they produced sufficient quantities to partial- ly supply the inhabitants, and thus, very soon became noted salt merchants. After some twelve years, this salt business was investigated by other parties who thought they saw and enterprise of untold wealth. In 1817 Daniel G. Thurston, who had come to Berlin Township from Clinton, New York, moved into Brown Township. He became interested in the salt lick with two partners, James Eaton and Steven Gorham. The men went to Columbus, and succeeded in securing from the state a contract, leasing to them 1,000 acres of land adjacent to the 300 around the salt reservation for a term of twelve years. The provisions of this contract with the state were, that the contrac- tors should bore to the depth of at least 200 feet, unless salt water in paying quantities was sooner reached. They were to leave the well tubed with good copper tubing at the expiration of their lease. Loof- burrow now withdrew from the business, and soon after moved to Wisconsin. The contractors at once commenced boring for salt, and west to a depth of 480 feet failing to find even salt water in paying quan- tities. They then notified the state authorities, who in turn reported to Congress, and that August body ordered the salt reservation to be surveyed and sold. In November of 1826 lots of 100 acres each were sold to the highest bidder.

Harlow, Charles Cowgill, John Kensill and others with such influx of immigration the township was rapidly settled. BROWN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN KILBOURNE On December 31, 1966 the Brown Presbyterian Church in Kilbourne reached the end of its long history. The last worship services were held on Christmas Day. It had been without a resident minister for nearly 20 years. Ministers designated as stated supply have served the congregation in the past two decades. There were 60 members on the rolls when the church closed. Brown Presbyterian Church was organized in March 1831 at the home of Daniel G. Thurston, a pioneer settler in Brown Township. The first minister of the church was Ahab Jenks who came to Ohio in 1820 and was a supply minister for the church for 16 years. Services were held in a log house about half a mile north of Kilbourne on land now owned by Henry Sheets. Nearly 200 persons participated in a three-day centennial cele- bration in 1931. After extensive improvements were made to the building in 1943, through the generous gift of an annonymous donor, a re- dedication service was held in October 1944. More improvements were made in later years. The question of slavery at one time divided the congregation, but the two groups were later reunited. Much of the dissension cen- n tered around the fact that Samuel Walker, one of the elders of the Brown Presbyterian Church, was the conductor for the Underground Railroad. The slaves were picked up in Africa, Orange Township, and taken to Benidict's station in Morrow County. Among slaves who were hidden in Walker's haymow, was George Harris of Uncle Tom's Cabin fame. With the closing of this church, an era of common Christian effort spanning several generations of people and over 135 years of time, ended. Some of the descendents of early members who are still living in or near the Kilbourne area are: the George Sheets family, the Harold Sheets family, Francis Kunze, Ronald Coyner, Howard Cleland, Louise Sheets (of Sunbury), Albert Stegner, Lester Waldron and Richard Leonard. One of the later ministers in the church was Rev. James Ver- burg, now deceased. Although he did not reside in Kilbourne, he was a well-remembered and well-liked figure in the community.

Description An account of the resource [page 13] [corresponds to unlabeled page 13 of Kilbourne Bicentennial Day Program] HISTORY OF THE KILBOURNE (EDEN) METHODIST CHURCH The Methodist Church of Kilbourne was organized in 1828 at the home of Daniel G. Thurston, who lived in the village. There were seven charter members: Mr. Thurston and wife, his son Joseph and his wife, a daughter, Mrs. Phoebe Thrall, and Mr. and Mrs. Zenas Leonard. This group held their first meetings in different homes and it is presumed that they were conducted by circuit riders. The first church building was erected from lumber furnished by George Leonard. It is believed that the first pastor after the church was built was Rev. William Godman. This same preacher was in charge of the circuit, which probably included a number of churches, and probably included Cheshire. It was assumed that he was a student at Ohio Wesleyan, which was organized the same year the church was built. Records indicate that Jake Petit was the carpenter for the church. In 1858 the front of the church was built by David Hodgden, with lumber again furnished by George Leonard. The small rooms built on the front of the church were erected during the pastorate of C. R. Edgington in 1907. Much of the upkeep of the church for the past 50 years had been in the hands of the Ladies Aid Society of the church. For 35 years the Ladies Aid Society met in the homes of the members. Dues were ten cents a quarter. In 1935 the society purchased a house in which the Elmore family had lived for many years, to serve as a Parish House. Maud Pugh Norris was responsible for the idea of purchasing the house--she was president of the society at that time. In later years the name of the Ladies Aid was changed to the Women's Society of Christian Service, and in 1972 the name became the Kil- bourne United Methodist Women. In 1942, on July 5th, a special service was held commemorating the building of the first church. Mrs. Charles Humes was the chairman of the committee. At this service 100 Hymnals were dedicated. Many of these hymnals were bought by members and former members and friends in loving memory of departed family members and friends. Mr. Mason of Columbus, who was pastor between 1910 and 1914, was present along with Rev. John Pfahler, the pastor. As O. D. hough was prominent in the building of the church, it was though fitting that Dr. Rollin H. Walker of Ohio Wesleyan University, and a grandson of Mr. Hough, should preach the memorial sermon. A Communion ser- vice was also held. After a basket dinner served at the parish house, a brief history of the church was read by Mrs. Harry Jumper, and Mr. Mason talked about his experiences here thirty years ago. After this Mrs. Charles Humes read a list of the preachers who had served the Methodist Church in Kilbourne since 1890. They were as follows: The first pastor, as previously mentioned, was Rev. William Godman. A. J. Lyone served the church for two years after his gradu- ation from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1854, and later became presi- dent Elder of the Mansfield District. He had many warm friends in Title A name given to the resource Kilbourne Bicentennial Day Program (p. 13) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/e9f4cedbcfaaab829cfcfdd08613f005.jpg 87b10aa11f033ab5069e19a9c272aed7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It is known that a man by the name of Bainum was pastor in 1860 and there were two preachers in the 1870's by the names of Bell and Pollock. In the '80s there was a minister named T. H. D. Harold, and there was also an Ohio Wesleyan student named Patterson, followed by Mr. Ruddick. In 1890 the church was served by student pastors such as Strother, C. C. Kennedy, and George W. Gross, who graduating from Ohio Wesleyan in 1894, be- came a missionary in China for the church and afterwards was named Bishop of the church in China. He was followed by L. E. Lingell, who later went to India as a missionary. The next minister was O. L. Gris- wold. Mr. McClellan followed him, then in 1900 C. W. Kennedy came to us and served two years. He was followed by James E. Koonz; then came J. A. Currier. In the fall of 1906 at student named J. J. Neighbor was appointed. After six weeks, he became ill with typhoid fever and Ohio Wesleyan author- ities sent him to his home in the east. In December of that year, Robert C. Edgington became the pastor and served until after his graduation in 1908. Then F. T. Cartwright served part of a year, fol- lowed by Perry S. Neldon. Rev. Charles Mason served the church for four years, from 1910 to 1914; for the next five years H. H. Crimm served. Then for two years Rev. E. G. Crowin was the minister; Mr. Flenner was here for a year; H. T. Daugharty for one year and George Raines for two years. Then came A. F. Felts. Rev. W. M. Brackney, who was a member of the Ohio Conference, moved to Delaware and served the church from 1929 to 1932. After him came William Dun- ning, who was the first resident pastor in the parsonage. He served for four years. In 1936 Rev. George Langford was assigned to Kilbourne, and served nearly five years. Rev. Langford, now disceased, will long be remembered in the community for his devoted work in the community and church. The next minister was John Pfahler, who served in 1941 until he was called into the army. Professor Albert Suthers of Ohio Wesleyan also filled the pulpit. N. E. Davis worked here during the summer months. Then Maurice Kidder was appointed to the charge, and in June the Conference appointed Rev. Howard Lee associate pastor. He and his wife lived in the parsonage at Kilbourne. Rev. Kidder also was associated with Ohio Wesleyan University and was the Religious Education Director for the Y.M.C.A. Ministers following Rev. Kidder were: Robert Fichter, a pro- fessor at Ohio Wesleyan, from 1949-1951; John Strout, from 1951- 1953; the Rev. O. E. Haueter for the years 1953-1956, and Rev Howard Velzey, 1956-1958, a student at Ohio Wesleyan. Rev. Velzey compiled a history of the Kilbourne Methodist Church. Many facts and infor- mation about the church would never have been available except for him. During the later years of the church, an extension of the history of the church was compiled by John S. Humes, and the church is much indebted to him for this.

Velzey, was a student at Ohio State, Charles DeVillbliss, 1958-1959, followed by Dwight Burkam, a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan who served in the pulpit during the years 1959-1961. Next came David Shoots, 1961-1963, who was the first minister to serve the church while enrolled at the new Methodist Theological School at Stratford. Rev. James Kane assumed his duties in 1963. He is a well-remembered figure in the community and served until 1967. Gary Smith was assigned to the Kilbourne Church in 1967. He was attending the Theological School and served the church unil 1969. The next two ministers were: Harold Roberson, from 1969-1971, and Ken Baillis, from 1971-June 1975. The present minister is James Law- ley, who assumed his duties as minister of the church in 1975. In 1964 the Methodists began to feel the need for a larger and more efficient church building. On October 12th of that year a com- mittee was appointed at the official board meeting to survey the mem- bers regarding some kind of building program. Response indicated that a new building was favored by a large majority and building plans were then presented to the members. Following this, a site for the new church was chosen and the present brick church was built, facing State Route 521 in Kilbourne. This was later landscaped, and presents an attractive picture. Many members of the church and interested persons were instrumental in helping furnish the church. Bernhard Gephart, although not a member of the church, offered to plan and install the heating system; much inside carpentry work was done by William E. Sheets, and electrical and plumbing work was done by Walter Humes, Sr. and Robert Wells. All of these men furnished their time and tal- ents free of charge, charging only the wholesale cost of material. On October 23, 1966, the new church was consecrated. District Superintendent Henderson was present for the ceremonies, marking the achievements of the past and pointing to the tasks of the future for the Methodist Church in the Kilbourne community. When the new Methodist Church was built, the need for the old building, which had served the community for so many generations, was gone. It was torn down, together with the old Parish House, and the space thus gained in now used as a parking lot for the new church. The bell from the tower of the old church that had rung out for so many years calling people to worship, was moved to the site of the new church, along with the bell which had been removed from the old Presbyterian Church. The Presbyterian bell, being smaller, was mounted and stands in front of the new church. Many descendants of the original founders and early members of the Methodist Church are living in the Kilbourne or Brown Town- ship area today. Some of them are: the Thurstons, Leonards, Hattens, Sheets, Humes, Jumpers, Flemings, Roofs and many more.

There are no computer equipped sorting machinery no copying machines in the lobby; some hardly have any lobby! But these small offices are grass-root community centers very close to the people. Stepping into a small town Post Office is like taking a step backward into a period of time when life moved at a slower pace. The furnishings reflect a picture of the rural past. The people are accommodating. Many of the small town Post Offices are more than just a place to buy stamps and money orders and pick up mail. They seem to specialize in "extra" services that you could never get in city post offices. This is especially true with the Kilbourne Post Office. In 1837 the government commissioned C. M. Thrall postmaster at the village of Eden and called the office Kilbourne. Before that, residents received their mail at Berkshire and Delaware. The office was opened 21 years after the first settlement in the Township.Kilbourne has had 19 post- masters in 129 years. The most recent postmaster, Clayton Reeder, served 36 years and retiring May 1, 1976. During most of his term as postmaster he opened and operated a general store along with the post office. To many residents the post office served as place to keep up on the local gossip while waiting for the mail to arrive and be sorted. Many sporting events, world and state problems, were solved to the liking of those waiting for mail delivery. Clayton's wife, Loma, helped sort mail and wait on customers in the store. Since sellign the store business, the post office has been moved to the front of the building and the old combination lock boxes replaced with key boxes. A touch of old style post office still exists, as many of the local residents still gather to visit and solve the problems of the day while waiting for the mail to arrive or be sorted. For many of the Kilbourne residents, the post office represents the last remaining landmark of Old Eden (Kilbourne) and holds fond memories of their childhood life in the Village.

Zanesville, Chillicothe, and Millwood were too far away, so they turned to the power in our own streams. Big Walnut, Alum Creek, Olentangy, Whetstone, and Scioto were used. Leatherwood Run, Turkey Creek, Big Run, Sugar Run, Horseshoe Run, Bokes Creek, Mill Creek, Fulton's Creek, Sugar Creek, Culver's Run, Spencer's Run, Ducan's Run and Rattlesnake Creek--all of these streams had one or more mills along their banks and the smaller of these streams were not to be despised as far as power was concerned. Every mill in the county could have told us many stories of the trails and hard labor that brought them into existence and kept them going. Some of these stories would be romantic. More would be tragic. Down by the Old Mill Stream doesn't mention the day the dam started to leak and the workmen rushed in, sometimes in deep cold water trying to forestall a big break. Nor does it record that of two men in a boat, attempting to "shoot the dam" at Cole's Mills during high water, only one survived; nor that Mr. Cole himself, while superintending repairs, fell into the vortex of the leak and was spewed out below against a sunken tree top with sufficient force to dislocate an arm. On the other hand, things could not always have been so rough. At one place the road leading to a ford and the mill that stood by it was known as "Lover's Lane." Maybe that old mill could grind out a song. The saw and grist mill in Kilbourne (Eden) stood on the creek bank just north of the bridge. It was rebuilt and enlarged by William Kilbourne Thrall in 1832. An Atlas shows it was owned by Abbot and Barnes in 1866. The dam substructure was revealed when the new bridge was built in 1959-1960. A saw mill near the mouth of Longwell Run, just above the old Terrell covered bridge, was replaced after the flood of 1959. There was a saw and grist mill where Delaware-Sunbury Road crossed Alum Creek near by a dangerous ford. It was built by Alexander Hall in 1808. After 1810 it was operated by Daniel G. Thurston. It was often used to grind corn for the Indians. Another saw and grist mill was located on Big Run, on the east side of Old State Road, near Berlin Township House on the property of J. Eaton.

There were two very small telephone companies, namely the Citizen and the Mutual. The Citizen switchboard was operated by Iola Ebenhack and Bessie Luke Blain. Ray Blain was the proprietor of the Citizen Company, and Ella and Jim Myers of the Mutual Company. The territory south of what is now State Route 521 was tended by Ray Blain, and that north of 521, by Jim Myers. If a long distance call was to be made, one company would relay it to the other and the distance of fifteen or twenty miles would be covered provided that the line could be wrested from two gossiping persons. In those days party lines had a maximum of ten families on one line. Much sharing was the necessity of the day. These two businesses of communication thrived from about the years 1910-1923. After 1923 larger corporate companies formed, and began to take over the small privately owned companies. Since then, many companies have merged with General Telephone Company, eliminating private owners. The Kilbourne Mutual Company was governed by a constitution and by-laws, some of which are listed below. Section 4 The capital stock of said company shall be share of $25.00 per subscriber to be paid in as directed by executive board, and invested in telephone lines and equipment. Article VIII No person will be allowed to take down receivers for the purpose of listening to conversation or messages. Article X Subscribers will not be allowed to become more than three months in arrears for their current bill. It is easy to see that changes in rules and regulations have taken place since the day of the privately owned telephone company! FIRST GRANGE HALL IN OHIO Kilbourne is believed to be the site of the first Grange Hall built in Ohio. It was erected at Kilbourne in 1874 by Josiah and I. N. Humes for use by Flora Grange which had been organized on January 12, 1874. The building is now the Brown Township hall, and is used by Kilbourne Grange. Grange historians say that there are no records in the offices of the Ohio State Grange to show that there was any other Grange hall built prior to 1874. Kilbourne Grange (formerly Berlin) first met in a Baptist Church near Ft. Cheshire. Later, meetings were held in a building built by the Grange at Berlin Station with the store below and a Grange Hall above. The Grange was reorganized in the little red schoolhouse near T. R. Smith's home on Sunbury Road. After the center of membership shifted to Brown Township the Grange met in the township hall. In 1948 the name was changed from Berlin to Kilbourne to avoid confusion in names and localities.

Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to unlabled page 3 of Delaware Welcomes You] WITH A RICH HERITAGE: [photo] Birthplace of Rutherford B. Hayes Long before the first pioneers came, Indian tribes had established a camp here on the trail leading from the lower Scioto valley northward to the Sandusky Bay area. It is believed that a variety of medicinal springs may have been a factor in their selecting this as a campsite.(One of these springs is still productive on the Ohio Wesleyan University campus.) The City of Delaware was founded in 1808, the same year that Delaware County was formed by dividing Franklin County. It immediately be- came the county seat, and because it is almost at the geographical center of the State of Ohio, and because then, as is true today, it was situated conveniently on some of the main thoroughfares of the state, is was seriously considered for the site of the State Capitol before the City of Colum- bus was selected. In the early 1800's Delaware was one of the most popular health resorts in what was then known as the "west." Its Mansion House Hotel with its sulphur springs were, in fact, pictured on Staffordshire plates from England. During the War of 1812, Delaware served as the headquarters for General Harrison. But the city's greatest historical distinction probably stems from the fact that it is the birthplace of our nation's 19th President, Rutherford B. Hayes. Many relics of the city's past may be seen at the Delaware County Historical Society Museum at 157 East William Street.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to unlabeled page 5 of Delaware Welcomes You] For more than a century, Delaware has been one of the oustanding cultural centers in the state because it is the home of Ohio Wesleyan University. Founded in 1842 by Methodist pioneers who believed that the highest type of academic train- ing and the building of Christian character go hand in hand, the University has an annual en- rollment of approximately 2,000 students, almost an equal number of men and women, who come from homes in Ohio's 88 counties, and in most of the other states of the nation, the District of Col- umbia, Hawaii and several foreign countries. Along with its usual contributions to the com- munity in art, music, dramatics, and athletics, the University is a "bright light" which draws numerous celebrities - leaders in art, science, government, and other walks in life - to the com- munity. The Ohio Wesleyan Library is open to all and serves residents of the city and county. The Perkins Observatory, largest observatory this side of Mississippi, is located just three miles south of Delaware. It is open to the public from 4 to 5 p.m. daily. Ohio Wesleyan has many historic spots on its main campus, including the Sulphur Spring, the Mansion House Hotel, and a monument mark- ing the former site of the Barber Tavern which served as General Harrison's headquarters in the War of 1812. Legend has it that it was at the Sulphur Spring that President Rutherford B. Hayes proposed to his bride-to-be, Lucy Webb, one of Ohio Wesleyan's first coeds. The Mansion House was built in 1833 in the boom period of President Jackson to accommodate the stream of tourists and health seekers. The first building to be occu- pied by the University, today it is known as Elliott Hall and houses offices and classrooms. The University is now engaged in a building program which already has seen construction of two new residence halls for men and the Phillips Building at the right and is looking forward to a Science Center, a Communications building and others.

Two parking areas have been provided by the city to make it easier for you to shop and park near the business section. The last ten years have seen a steady indus- trial growth in Delaware and its environs. The chief reasons for this have been the many advan- tages we have been able to offer industries which are looking for a city the size of Delaware in which to locate. Our rail transportation reaches out in all directions. Many trucking companies also cover Delaware with their nationwide services. Four U.S. highways cross or are adjacent to Delaware. We are near enough to a metropolis - Columbus - to enjoy the advantages which such a city can offer. With regard to utilities we are served by one of the major electric power companies, an excel- lent natural gas supply and an abundance of good water. Our telephone exchange is new and has all the latest dial operated equipment. Our climate is sufficiently varied, offering us the four seasons, warm summers and mild winters with enough rainfall and long growing season which makes our surrounding agricultu- ral countryside a rich and prosperous one.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to unlabeled page 7 of Delaware Welcomes You] PROGRESSIVE IN INDUSTRY: [photo] Sunray Stove Company Approximately two-fifths of the 9,600 Dela- ware County residents working in 1940 were farming. About one-tenth held factory jobs. Employment in plants within the county climbed to a monthly average of 1,900 by 1945 and is 2000 today. Principal products manufactured in the area include thermostatic controls, truck bodies and cranes, gas ranges, screw-machine products, hydraulic controls, instant coffee, canvas products and chemical specialties and brick. The labor situation is good. Most of our in- dustrial labor is local, above average in intelli- gence and skill, from which you can draw without importing an undesirable class of workmen. Besides being an ideal location for new in- dustries, Delaware offers every opportunity for expansion of existing industries, as is witnessed by the present expansion of Sunray Stove Company (see above) and the Denison Engineering Company.

There is an elementary school in each of the geogra- phical districts of the community - East, West, North, Northwest, and South. Willis Senior and Junior High School is centrally located on West William Street. Delaware also has one parochial elementary and high school. CHURCHES - The community is well served by 19 churches of many different denominations and they provide numerous outlets for religious and social needs. LIBRARIES - The Ohio Wesleyan library, of more than 180 thousand volumes, is open to all local residents and, in addition, the city-owned Carnegie Free Library in downtown Delaware serves both city and county residents. MUSEUM - The Delaware County Historical Society recently opened its museum at 157 East William Street. HOSPITAL - The Jane M. Case Hospital, set in a grove of oak and maple trees, west of the city, has just been remodeled and expanded and has a 103 patient capacity. It has both a medical and an osteopathic section. NEWSPAPER - During the past 136 years, Dela- ware and the surrounding marketing area have been served by The Delaware Gazette, a daily newspaper with a circulation of almost 6,000. Located in its modern publishing house, The Gazette carries United Press wire service and serves as an ideal advertising medium.

Season and family memberships are available. During the colder months Ohio Wesleyan permits many local organizations to use its newly completed indoor pool in the Pfei- ffer Natatorium on the campus. FISHING AND HUNTING - Fishermen don't have to go far beyond the city limits to make their catches. Since the Delaware Flood con- trol Dam gates were closed 3 miles north of the city a few years ago, Delaware has had its own lake which is stocked periodically. The Scioto River, in the western part of the county about 7 miles out of Delaware city also offers good fishing. Boats may be rented at both loca- tions, but all motors must be licensed. Much of the area surrounding Delaware is rich with game for hunters. One of the favorite spots, though, is the hunting area near the Delaware Dam which is maintained by the Conservation Department. BOATING - Sail Boating is a popular sport on the Scioto River. Other small crafts are per- mitted there, too. Many city residents perfer boating on the reservoir north of the Delaware Dam where private boats may be docked for a reasonable rental. Water skiing is becoming an increasingly popular sport at the reservoir. TENNIS - Ohio Wesleyan University maintains a dozen tennis courts on its East and West cam- puses. These are made available to local resi- dents during the summer when the students are away. GOLF - Several golf courses are within easy driving distance of the city, but most local re- sidents hold membership at the Delaware Country Club, just three miles south of town. It is a good nine-hole course. PICNICKING - Two parks within the city limits, Mingo and Blue Limestone, have picnic facilities. Many residents drive to the Delaware Reservoir area's picnic developments and others head west to the Scioto River's east bank. Holiday Hill, west of town, is the scene of many company and community picnics and dinners the year round and offers square and folk dancing. SPECTATOR SPORTS - Besides their enthusi- astic support of Willis High School teams, local residents enjoy watching Ohio Wesleyan's "Bat- tling Bishops" in action in intercollegiate com- petition - football, basketball, cross country and track, soccer, baseball, tennis and sailing.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to unlabeled page 5 of Beeghly Library] The design of the L. A. Beeghly Library provides for access to knowl- edge. Its four floors, representing an area of 105,000 square feet, are spacious and open, but careful placement of bookshelves and furniture creates small, well-delineated study areas on each floor. Each study area contains the books needed by a specific academic discipline in addition to adequate study carrells and lounge facili- ties to accommodate students using that particular section of the library. For example, one large study area located on the third floor is designed to house the many books associated in the broadest sense with the humanities. A student working in the general disci- pline of the humanities can go to the open stacks in this area to find the books he needs and then return to adjacent tables or carrells to do his studying or research. Similar study areas are spaced throughout the library. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, the openness of Beeghly Library gives the building a flexibility which will keep it functional for years to come. Column spacing in the library's stacks permits them to be turned in any required direction. Thus, individual study areas can be made larger or smaller as a changing academic pro- gram or new library servicing techniques might dictate. Air conditioned throughout, Beeghly Library houses more than a third of a million volumes (books, periodicals, and pamphlets) as well as microcards, microfilm, microprint, and other instructional media.

The building's covered entry, landscaped ter- race, and paved plaza were designed as part of a pedestrian mall to be construc- ted on University Avenue when the two campuses are eventually joined. The brick, limestone, and granite used for the library's exterior were chosen be- cause of their visual relationship with the exterior materials of existing build- ings: red brick on the Residential Cam- pus, and stone on the East Campus. Ohio Wesleyan gratefully recognizes the cooperation it received from the people of Delaware in securing the site for Beeghly Library, and extends special thanks to Mr. Jack Florance and Mr. Harry Humes for serving as co-chairmen of a Delaware Citizens' Committee.

The year will be historically significant in unique measure as the year in which beautiful L. A. Beeghly was placed in service. I venture to suggest that no other university of our kind and size in America will have a more prideful addition to its educational facilities this year. The library represents a giant step into the future. There is enclosed a dedicatory brochure which pictures and describes the library. Such a publication can only hint at educational dimensions inherent in a building of this kind, with its wonderful facilities for independent study and its extensive audio and visual equipment. I invite you -- indeed, I urge you -- to visit the campus soon to see at first hand the beauty and the promise of this handsome campus addition. An outpouring of generosity by the principal donor, together with a similar degree of devotion from many alumni and friends of the University, have made this library possible. On behalf of all of us, and especially on behalf of the students today and the thousands to come, I wish to express heartfelt gratitude. May you visit us soon! Sincerely, Elden T.

To those acquainted merely with Ohio Wesleyan's achievements, a statement of her handicaps doubtless comes as a surprise. The unusual prominence of her graduates, and her position of leadership in the church, in education and in national life have been attained as the result of great sacrifice, and through operating far above what could rightfully be expected from her faculty and equipment. IT COSTS SOMETHING TO HAVE UNIVERSITIES, BUT IT COSTS INFINITELY MORE NOT TO HAVE THEM.

In doing this great work she has rendered an immeasurable service to society. In making men and women, the University loses money; therefore, she must depend upon society to discharge her obligations by providing funds sufficient to enlarge her service as an educator and character moulder to a constantly increasing number of young men and women. Ohio Wesleyan's situation today might be likened to that of the fifteen-year-old boy who has suddenly attained the growth and size of a man. He has outgrown his clothes, they are giving way at the elbows and knees; and must immediately be replaced by larger ones.

The Trustees of Ohio Wesleyan are not presenting to friends and the public, a hasty, extemporaneous and vague scheme, but after long, careful study, are pleased to offer the Ohio Wesleyan Development Program, which represents actual needs of the University, that have grown out of the much enlarged student body, and out of greatly changed social, economic and educational conditions. No one respon- sive to the claims of Christian education will fail to find in this plan one or more specific purposes calling for his or her full support. 7 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.9) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/96f03397a938455a8c673e5a87f07465.jpg 358e47b2bd221b6caf54bdb5d8dd4cc3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

TO realize the $8,000,000 Development fund, Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity naturally depends upon the active financial support of the following groups. This is because every one in every group either has already received, or is now receiving, benefits from this old and fine Christian University greater in amount than the sum of money we shall suggest as a minimum to be subscribed. 1 Trustees. 2 Alumni and former students. 3 Faculty. 4 Student Body and Parents of Students. 5 Citizens of Delaware County. 6 Members of the Methodist Church; every one of whom has a vital Those who will personal interest in keeping this Fountain of Methodism flowing. Give and Get 7 Business men whose future business success depends upon the trained leadership of men and women such as Ohio Wesleyan pro- duces. 8 Friends of the University who appreciate the world's need of Chris- tian education. 9 Rockefeller Foundation--General Education Board has already pledged support to Ohio Wesleyan's Development Program. Cost of Educating a Student at Ohio Wesleyan [bar graph] $165.00 Average income per student from tuition fees for College year 1921-1922 based on actual attendance of 1623 students. $330.00 Average expenditure per stu- dent in college year 1921-1922 based on attendance of 1623 students. This is actual cost per student to the university including interest on invest- ment at only 5% and annual depreciation of 2 1/2% on build- ings. 9 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.11) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/0b3d74373f0751d9d6429efb097422ce.jpg 1139c15e06b6b8d2bc528c5e0c14b865 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 12] [corresponds to page 10 in OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] BUILD YOURSELF A LIVING MONUMENT What These Figures Mean THE actual cost of educating a student at Ohio Wesleyan in 1921-1922 was, therefore, $330.00, of which the student paid about half, or $165.00. That means an operating deficit of $165.00 per student per year;--a total of $268,000.00, for the year 1921-1922 with an attend- ance of 1623 (which must be provided for by endowment). On this basis every student who takes the regular four-year course is entitled to feel that he or she owes the University $660.00 the day the diplomas are given out. To further increase students' fees would hinder the very purpose of this institution of higher learning which is to give the student with little or no means, as well as the well-to-do and rich, a chance for proper education. Therefore, the only alternative is to build an endowment fund with an income sufficient to cover the annual operating deficit. Making Men But Losing Money NO college or University charges students as much as it costs to give them their schooling. They no more seek to make money than do our public schools:--the public schools make up their income from taxes, while the University always has made up its deficiency, and doubtless always will, from endowment fund income. Few people realize the great difference between the annual cost of educating a student and the amount that he pays to the University. Alumni, present students and parents of students have no conception of the investment that Ohio Wesleyan makes each year in her boys and girls, for which no charge can be made. 10 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.12) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/36677edc620ecd3eca309a38a709f769.jpg 3f0b8cc5da39f419d023fd229aa824ba Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In order that alumni may clearly visualize the investment made in them, the following table has been compiled to show the cost of edu- cating a student for four years compared with the income from that student. The computation has been made on the basis of 5 year periods ex- tending back twenty-five years. All figures were compiled by W. D.

Such an investment pays perpetual dividends to you and yours and to society in general. A University such as Ohio Wesleyan is in the forefront of all objects for this type of investment, because it is a source of benevolence, as well as power. In assisting Ohio Wesleyan at this critical time, you are providing for the education of all those who, according to statistics, will improve their chances of acquiring future wealth, and who, through the inspiration of their Alma Mater will most probably devote a part of it to many worthy causes. What Interest Shall I Draw From An Investment In Ohio Wesleyan? A PROPER question, and one that should be answered to your satisfaction, in this inspiring message from William F. Anderson, Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church: "The most noteworthy thing about Ohio Wesleyan University is its output of men and women for practical leadership in the various de- partments of human activity. 'By their fruits ye shall know them' is a standard of measurement which comes to us upon the highest authority. Adjudged by this standard the old college at Delaware stands in the very first rank. Her ideals have gone out through all the earth and other men and women to the end of the world." 12 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.14) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/e5a6ca9d4445deece5637027ab688ac1.jpg d8ef591ba061b13e4148d4a9b4737210 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 15] [corresponds to page 13 in OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY An Underpaid Faculty--A Dangerous Condition A UNIVERSITY is as strong as its faculty. By training the minds of the young men and women of today, University professors are moulding the future of the Nation. It is a square deal that these men shall assume the great responsibility for National character moulding, yet be paid salaries that scarcely equal the pay of iron moulders in our foundries? We ask of the modern professor the exercise of the highest human attributes--conscience, high thinking, a devotion to high ideals, learn- ing, constructive talents, and the genius to teach and train the future leaders of the Nation. His value to the world is incomparable and yet he is often condemned to scarcity or even poverty, while his students go out to rewards only limited by ability and effort. Herbert Hoover declares that: "there is nothing our people should so generally resent as the fact that their sons and daughters are to receive the basic formation of their character and intelligence at so great a sacrifice as is now being imposed on those upon whom we must depend to create our whole national character." In attempting to attract the best type of instruction talent to the University and to uphold the traditionally high standards of education, Ohio Wesleyan like other denominational colleges, is in direct com- petition with industry which offers such high salaries to able men. Even though older professors, through long association with the University, their keen interest in the work and their loyalty to the cause of higher education, remain at great sacrifice to themselves and families, yet the call of business is making serious inroads upon the ranks of the younger generation of university teachers. 13 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.15) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/7d56eac8a2b06c852313b8bec38b3bce.jpg 0201ee2357da15a352ae907170a4a2f0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 16] [corresponds to page 9 in OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] BUILD YOURSELF A LIVING MONUMENT Is This Good American Justice? THERE has recently been much discussion regarding the "living wage." Whatever it is, we can safely say that some university professors are not getting it. Unless a professor has an independent income, or earns some money by writing and other activities outside of his University work, he often has to travel a rough road financially. Note well, that the average annual salary of the members of the Ohio Wesleyan faculty is $2286.00, a wage of about $7.00 per day. On the other hand, consider those carpenters, bricklayers, plasterers and other craftsmen whose period of preparation is only a fractional part of the years required to become a good professor, and yet who receive $10.00 for an eight-hour day. The $4,000,000 instruction endowment will enable the trustees of Ohio Wesleyan to increase the average annual income of her teaching force from $2286 to $3075. This university must be more generously supported by men of affairs with conscience and broad foresight. Not as a matter of charity or giving but as a broad business enterprise that will help Christian edu- cation win the race against world disaster. An Instruction Endowment: The Only Way Out An endowment of $4,000,000 safely invested will net the University about $200,000 annually, no more than enough to: (a) Insure the faculty a living wage. (b) Hold the good professors at Ohio Wesleyan. (c) Permit Ohio Wesleyan to meet the competition of industry and other Universities, and thereby hold her own in attracting the highest type of instruction talent. (d) Permit additions to the teaching force constantly demanded by increased attend- ance. 14 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.16) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/de76d5ffffecc698522bcde40d36937c.jpg 28c79e6a21b09e88a22151f336cd38f9 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 17] [corresponds to page 15 in OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY Shall Wesleyan's Doors Be Barred to Students of Moderate Means? IN "The Bonnie Brier Bush," the schoolmaster says to Drumsheugh: "Ye think that a'm asking a great thing when I plead for a few notes to give a puir laddie a college education. I tell ye, man, a'm honoring ye and givin' ye the fairest chance ye'll ever hae o'winning wealth." To further increase students' fees would defeat the basic purpose of this institution to do the greatest educational good to the greatest number. The doors of Ohio Wesleyan have been doors of oppor- tunity to the sort of people the world needs most;--many of these men and women of extremely moderate means who see in Christian education a big and precious thing--a chance to render the highest service to the world. A Debt That Maturity Owes to Youth OHIO Wesleyan should not become a select school for sons and daughters of the rich. This would be contrary to the high pur- poses of her founders by limiting higher education to a fortunate few. The request for a scholarship endowment of $400,000 is extremely modest and when invested at 5% will bring an annual return of only $20,000. Yet that $20,000 will make it possible for scores of wealthy young men and women to develop from youths of promise into men and women of prominence. 15 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.17) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a0aecb8f053f4b6a82a218035cd92a12.jpg 5ae0eaf9436b9ce69b59ee38c1a6fe12 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

However, great care must be exercised that this work shall not develop into undue drudgery or interfere with the students' scholastic standing. The University authorities must establish a proper balance between scholarship assistance and self support. They take pains always, since the number whom they can help in this way is limited, to afford scholarship aid to those who help themselves. In asking for scholarship endowment Ohio Wesleyan is proud to record the following figures to show what her ambiticus under-graduates are ac- tually doing to help themselves.

The Uni- versity asks you to provide scholarship endowments (in your own name if you wish) that will produce $20,000 per year or only 8% of what the students do for themselves. We must not forget that these young people who made these earnings were all the time carrying their full college work, and thus earned this money in spare time only. Without keeping this in mind their real industry and energy cannot be ap- preciated. 16 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.18) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/1a758502218973a60622333d87c530aa.jpg c3ab35a06e277a1b046ae4ffa434c14a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This is an object that should strongly appeal to every thoughtful per- son:--These National Character Moulders often spend a lifetime of service at salaries that barely permit them to obtain the necessities of life, let alone, enjoy any of the luxuries. These devotees to the cause of higher education seldom have an opportunity to save enough money for the "rainy day." By serving as teacher, guide and friend to thousands of students they are raising the seed corn of the world, but are getting little or none of the harvest. Society demands 100% efficiency from University professors; there- fore society should provide funds that will permit the pay- ment of living in- comes during the long years of service and insure reasonable re- tirement allowances for declining years of unemployment. 17 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.19) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/713a22901a96e8fb3d4a0c56ee346a97.jpg 7d797e6b3cef0b1e12d981c928da2b5e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

With its present capacity in buildings, the University could instruct, without in- convenience and crowding, between 1000 and 1200 stu- dents. Imagine then, the cramped conditions under which the school is now operating with an enrollment of 1650 students. Sixteen new buildings are absolutely necessary. 1. To properly care for the present excess of students over physical capacity. 2. To provide additional capacity for increased attendance during the next ten years. 3. To relieve the present crowded and intolerable conditions. These new buildings will permit the segregation, the proper organiza- tion and administration of groups of related departments, with library reading rooms, class rooms, departmental offices and conference rooms. Even with its policy of carefully selecting all new students, and its aim at quality rather than quantity in its student body, Ohio Wesleyan cannot refuse additional students and thereby shirk the responsibility that is today thrown upon all institutions of higher learning. Ohio Wesleyan must have the capacity to take care of the increasing number who desire her particular type of Christian education.

ELLIOTT HALL The present physics and engineering building was built in 1833 as "The Mansion House" to accommodate tourists and seekers after health. It was the building in which Ohio Wesleyan was started in 1842. Its Century of Service entitles it to a place in the Hall of Relics. It should immediately give way to a modern building arranged and equipped for the Engineering Sciences. STURGES HALL This is the Chemistry Building which has rendered generations of service, so that it is no longer good business to spend money repairing it. Our continued use of it is criticized by state authorities, who fully agree with us that it ought to be replaced as soon as possible by a modern building designed for this particular use. Religion and Missions Building, $100,000 The fact that Ohio Wesleyan has sent out more missionaries and has furnished more theological students than any other American Co-edu- cational school, is sufficient justification for her request for funds to construct a building for courses in religion and missions. To continue to be the recruiting station for Methodist leaders and to meet the increasing demands for the Church upon the University, Ohio Wesleyan must have additional facilities to carry on this impor- tant branch of her work. Political Science and Sociology, $150,000 (Business Administration Building) The demands upon her well organized department of business ad- ministration by industries who want young men trained in modern business methods, has automatically increased the number of stu- dents entering the University for this course. This department is already taxed to the limit and to continue to operate efficiently should be provided with a building and equipment of its own. 22 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.23) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/51f12f5b5591756d8d319055255433c9.jpg db2f8eed980b297ddd6766423ef86a09 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The function of this department is exceedingly practical and val- uable, and gives Ohio Wesleyan students unusual training in the art of public speech. It has taught them to "think on their feet" and "stick to their text," qualities so necessary in moulding public senti- ment and in attaining moral and social leadership. Recitation Hall, $150,000 Will provide well arranged, quiet class room space and will relieve present congestion. At the present time parts of the library, and all available space about the University are used for recitation work, much of it being poorly arranged and not thoroughly heated and ventilated. A recitation building will greatly assist the faculty in scheduling classes and will insure a more uniform meeting place for various classes than is now possible. Model Educational Unit, $100,000 During her eighty years of public service Ohio Wesleyan has given the world thousands of men and women taught to teach. To fill the actual demand from schools, colleges and universities for more and better teachers, she needs this building for the proper training of those preparing for teaching as a life work. This building will permit the development of a practice high school for the practical training of teachers. Ohio Wesleyan is conceded to be doing effective work in this line even with present restricted facilites, but can do much better work if her handicaps are removed. Heat, Light and Power Plant, $100,000 A building necessary to supply the University with its own heat, light and power. The construction of this building will be a measure of economy, as the saving that it will effect in these items will even- tually pay for the investment. A winter day spent in University Hall and Gray Chapel would con- vince anyone of the necessity for an improved heating and lighting system. Seventeen furnaces are now necessary to heat this one building, and the lighting is twenty years behind modern developments. 23 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.24) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/4fbf3997761245c69f9f010c33efd421.jpg f4ec70715f0c915334ea98428ba1ae77 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This building will accommo- date about 250 girls in addition to the 300 now housed in Monnett. [image of Watson Hall] WATSON HALL Women's Building, $200,000 Watson Hall will be the social center for the women attending Ohio Wesleyan. It will accommodate the Y.W.C.A., the two literary societies, the Women's Student Government Association, and many other organizations that engender a democratic good-will and hearti- ness among the girls, and create an enduring class and College Spirit. 24 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.25) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a171e78785287b0c8ede2e6a8abf44b3.jpg b6c9411e157666c4fda05d7d7da355ca Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 26] [corresponds to page 25 in OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY Men's Commons Building, $250,000 The Men's Commons is needed as a social center, to provide offices for the different undergraduate organizations, and a gathering place for students and faculty in their free hours, under wholesome environ- ment. It will provide a central eating place for men and thus insure hygienic conditions in the preparation and serving of food. Men's Dormitories A--$150,000 and B--$150,000 To care for the proper housing of students now scattered in private houses about town. By bringing students together into larger groups these buildings will preserve and increase the spirit of democracy and friendship which is one of the finest experiences of college life. Campus Extension and Improvement, $150,000 The addition of sixteen new buildings necessitates campus changes, extensions and considerable landscaping and planting. Women's Athletic Field Entirely aside from these campus improvements, is the necessity for a girls' athletic field and locker-house. At the present time the girls must use Edwards Gymnasium and the Boys' Athletic Field, which is a mile from their home at Monnett. Added to this inconvenience is the difficulty in arranging Gymna- sium classes and field games so that schedules between girls and boys will not conflict. The University now owns 14 acres adjoining Monnett Campus which will be converted into a Women's Athletic Field for Tennis, Hockey, Field Sports and other Athletic activities. Intra-Mural Field In a body of nearly 2000 young people, those who keep up their physical condition, and gratify their natural impulse for activity, by taking part in sports, are many. There are so many that the main Athletic Field cannot accommodate them, in view of it belonging more properly to the various contests with visiting teams from other insti- tutions. The intra-mural field is for our own student body. To encourage mass rather than individual athletic training the Uni- versity has many intra-mural contests in all branches of sports between its classes, fraternities and clubs. An intra-mural field must be pro- vided to avoid conflicting dates on the main athletic field and to obviate the necessity of constantly using the Ohio State Guards Armory. 25 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.26) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/93c1095646da522b2a779fec72130e3a.jpg 2809ff089c213214b6108105c4a5128a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 27] [corresponds to page 26 in OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] BUILD YOURSELF A LIVING MONUMENT How Much Should I Give? THIS is a question that comes to the minds of hundreds of Ohio Wesleyan Alumni and friends. The same question has had to be answered by hundreds of thousands of men and women who have helped support American Universities for the past hundred years. Although some will want to give more and others will be obliged to and should give less, we believe the fol- lowing "Expectance" table will help many persons in determining the least they should invest in Ohio Wesleyan: Amount per year for five years if your income is: $ 5,000 and under...............2% 5,000-$10,000.................2%-3% 10,000- 15,000.................3%-4% 15,000- 25,000.................4% 25,000- 50,000....................5% 50,000-100,000....................7% 100,000 and over..................10% Income Tax Deduction The United States Government through the Federal Income Tax Law recognizes that educa- tional institutions must be supported by public and private gifts. It is therefore permissible for a donor to deduct his gift to such an instit- ution up to 15% of his income. If the gift be paid over a period of years, the amount each year may be deducted from the taxable income of that year. The following table shows how a gift to Ohio Wesleyan may reduce the Federal Income Tax of the donor. Net A Gift to Will reduce Taxable O.W.U. donor's Income in cash of income tax $ 10,000 $1,500 $135.00 15,000 2,250 257.50 20,000 3,000 410.00 25,000 3,750 640.00 50,000 7,500 2,145.00 75,000 11,250 4,522.50 100,000 15,000 7,760.00 200,000 30,000 17,100.00 500,000 75,000 43,500.00 1,000,000 150,000 87,000.00 Your happiness and satisfaction will be increased ten-fold if you will invest in a corner stone instead of a tomb stone. The monuments in the cemeteries of Ohio cost more than enough to generously endow all the Universities in the State. Think this over and then obey the impulse. Among the alumni and friends of our University are those who pay $250 or more for a year's golf or pay as much as $1,000 for a Country Club membership; without think- ing that the good old school at Del- aware gives a year's education for less than the former item, and re- ceives less than the latter for a four- year's course. 26 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.27) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/389a4f34fe04ab085ca675210f993d47.jpg 382cc8d4c400321fc5f1aa48ab7d8721 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

John W. Hoffman, President "At Ohio Wesleyan the constant concern is that impulse and idea, thought and skill, culture and character shall ever serve the noblest ends of Christ in his matchless zeal to establish the Kingdom of God on earth. With a passionate determination every fact, every truth, every facility is organized in the noble effort to make the world Christian." Woodrow Wilson "Scholarship has usually been more fruitful when associated with religion, and scholarship has never, so far as I can recall, been associated with any religion except that of Jesus Christ." W. F. King "Properly to plant and nourish a Christian col- lege is one of the highest privileges of Christian men and women. There is no soil so productive as mind, and no seed so fruitful as ideas. He who wishes to do the greatest possible good, and for the longest possible time, should nourish the fountains of learning, and help thirsting youth to the water." Warren G. Harding "Christian education is essential to Christian citizenship and right civic leadership." 29 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.30) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/3e190a0d82bf03c56deacdc982a0e203.jpg 284fa356ec5971492b45451e021325a6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Herbert Spencer "To educate the reason without educating the desire is like placing a repeating rifle in the hands of a savage." James J. Hill "The Christian college is the hope of Amer- ica--character is essential to statesmanship, and these colleges are vital factors in the develop- ment of sterling characters." Professor Thompson of Ohio State University "I am in no way untrue to state institutions when I say that in our day a boy might become a bachelor or master in almost any one of the best of them, and be as ignorant to the Bible, the moral and spiritual truth which it represents and the fundamental principles of religion, their nature and value to society, as if he had been educated in a non-Christian country. Who is to supply this lack if not the Christian college?" Eliot "Exclude religion from education and you have no foundation upon which to build moral char- acter." Emerson "Characteris higher than intellect; a great soul will be strong to live as well as to think." 30 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.31) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/501a6f402526efa750c4a101f05fc17b.jpg 24ee072c34861f393934483e81283d94 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Bishop McDowell "A half century ago Christian education moulded the mind of the boy and girl--today it makes the mind of the nation." Roger W. Babson "The need of the hour is not more factories or materials, not more railroads or steamships, not more armies or more navies, but rather more edu- cation based on the plain teaching of Jesus. "We are willing to give our property and even our lives when our country calls in time of war. Yet the call of Christian education is today of even greater importance than was ever the call of the army or the navy. I say this because we shall probably never live to see America attacked from without, but we may at any time see our best institutions attacked from within. "I am not offering Christian education as a pro- tector of property, because nearly all the great progressive and liberal movements of history have been born in the hearts of Christian educators. I do, however, insist that the safety of our sons and daughters as they go out on the streets this very night is due to the influence of the preachers rather than to the influence of the policemen and lawmakers. Yes, the safety of our nation, includ- ing all groups, depends on Christian education." 31 Title A name given to the resource Build Yourself a Living Monument (p.32) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/1ddafcb0fcfd0b8e1715c98465a194c4.jpg 3a6f7b02c903449af82de82bbe2c513a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 35] [corresponds to page 34 of OWU Build Yourself a Living Monument] BUILD YOURSELF A LIVING MONUMENT What Shall I Endow? NEXT to endowing a University or a department of the university, the most important and equally immortal thing that a man can do is to endow a chair. There are departments and professorships in the colleges of the old English Universities that have perpetuated the names of their founders for hundreds of years. The wise way is to endow a department or a chair but not to specify the study. Leave that to be designated by the Trustees from time to time in future years. No man can foretell the relative demands fifty years from now in the many branches of education, and such professor- ships, like the universities themselves, live forever. How Can I Make My Pledge? ON the next page is a facsimile reproduction of the Pledge Card adopted by the Board of Trustees for use in the Ohio Wesleyan Development Program. It is designed to cover the needs of most givers and at the same time so simplify the contract that the Treasurer's office can easily keep an accurate record of each contract. The total amount of each donor's subscription should be written on the first dotted line within the body of the contract.

Coming from a neighboring city as I do, I feel almost a personal interest in the growing fortunes and influence of Ohio Wesleyan. It has always been an Ohio institution in which those of us in neighboring counties felt a very especial pride, and I know something of the splendid con- tribution which the University has made to men eminent in the professional, religious and political life of the republic. Fortunately located, with a splendid record already made, I can well believe that the friends of Ohio Wesleyan will take exceptional interest in making an outstanding success of the large program which you have in mind. Please be assured of my more than cordial good wishes. Very truly yours, [signature of Warren Harding] Prof. John T. Marshman, Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, Ohio.

As a colleague concerned with the art of Shakespeare from a contemporary, literary point of view, I have looked forward each year to the last week in April when, in commemoration of Shakespeare's birthday, the Wesleyan Players would interpret anew one of the tragedies or histories or comedies. For many hundreds of students these productions have led to a permanent interest in Shakespearean drama. Clarence Hunter's achievement is an enviable one indeed.

He came to our faculty just when I was leaving the college as a graduate. Since that im- portant year 1920, I have known of Professor Hunter's contribution to the University as an in- structor, as a coach in dramatics and as an au- thority in Shakespeare. He has not only labored diligently within the college itself, but has brought us prestige from without. Since becom- ing a Trustee, I have been even more aware of his good works. It gives me great pleasure to wish Clarence and Mrs. Hunter many years of useful and re- warding retirement. Ohio Wesleyan is proud to have had thirty-nine years of such devoted service. C. B. Mills Chairman of the Board IN TRIBUTE This year we pay special tribute to R. Clar- ence Hunter whose sensitive and understanding interpretation of Shakespeare has enriched the lives of so many of us over the years. His record of 37 annual Shakespeare plays is impressive in itself; but Professor Hunter has consistently sought and achieved the highest quality in all his dramatic productions. His con- tribution over nearly ten college generations, both in the classroom and in the cultural life of the greater University community, is certainly con- sistent with the highest ideals of the teaching profession.

ANDERSON CLOTHING Our twenty years of serving Professor Hunter have been most enjoyable. LEE'S BOOK STORE AS YOU LIKE IT -- THE FIRST SHAKESPEAREAN PRODUCTION AT OHIO WESLEYAN "In any consideration of the development of the drama at Ohio Wesleyan University between the years 1903 and 1913 the chief factor to be considered is the work and influence of Professor Robert Irving Fulton, at that time the Dean of the School of Oratory. Professor Fulton loved the drama, especially Shakespeare, and it was his ambition to pre- sent great plays at the University. This ambition, however, controverted the idea dominant in the Methodist Church in those days, to wit, that the theatre was a thing of evil and that it should not be tolerated in a Methodist institution. Pro- fessor Fulton was a persistent individual. He was not easily discouraged and in spite of opposition he worked unceasing- ly to attain his end. It was at Commencement time, June 21, 1905, that Professor Fulton decided the time had come for the presentation of a Shakespearean play, and to get way from the atmosphere of the theatre which was taboo, he decided to have an open- air performance. The play selected was AS YOU LIKE IT and for the part of Rosalind a well known reader and elo- cutionist named Katherine Eggleston Junkermann was invited to be the guest star. John T. Marshman, 1 then a gradu- ate student, was cast as Touchstone, and to my surprise I was given the part of Orlando. Since I was only a sophomore this was taken to be an evidence of favoritism on the part of Professor Fulton. The site selected for the forest of Arden was a hillside in what was then known as Merrick Glen, on the Barnes property, at about the point where Stuyvesant Hall stands today. We had a distinguished audience the afternoon of the play, seated on the hillside facing our open-air stage. The first act went off very well, and then--disaster! The windows of heaven were opened and the water fell upon the earth. Later on some of Professor Fulton's opponents on the faculty expressed the opinion that it was a judgement of heaven on our wicked play. Players and spectators alike ran for shelter but before we reached the house we were soaked to the skin. Professor Fulton was a bit discouraged by this setback, but not at all dismayed and the following afternoon we ventured again into the forest. This time the weather was perfect and the play was a great success." By Charles Milton Newcomb* 1 John T. Marshman became the head of the speech department in 1920. * Charles Newcomb was head of dramatics at OWU from 1916 to 1920. Congratulations to Professor Hunter FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF DELAWARE Member of the F.D.I.C.

Description An account of the resource [page 8] [corresponds to unlabeled page 8 of As You Like It program] Greetings from Friends So at last it has come to this--the final Shakespeare play that you direct as a member of the faculty! Plays and speech class will go on next year, but it will seem a bit strange not to have you around the campus too. You have been a stalwart member of the faculty and we remember the part that you have played in faculty af- fairs. It has been just about the easiest thing in the world to give enthusiastic sup- port to the college dramatic program. You have provided good entertainment and a varied fare (even though Shakespeare is your favorite playwright). You have pro- vided real enrichment to college and community life. As you begin your retirement, your faculty colleagues wish you a long and happy vacation when you and your wife will have unhurried freedom to enjoy many things. One of these will surely be a connoisseur's delight in play-going. Have a good time, both of you. George Crowl, President of A.A.U.P., O.W.U. Chapter It is a distinct pleasure to add to this special program a few words of sincere ap- preciation to Mr. Hunter from Theta Alpha Phi. Not only has Mr. Hunter kept the Ohio Alpha Chapter among the most outstanding in the fraternity, but he has con- tributed richly to the organization as a whole, both in his many years of service as a national officer, and in the help and guidance he has given so generously to the chapters in this region. Associated with Theta Alpha Phi almost since its inception, Mr. Hunt- er represents in a high degree as a person, and in his teaching, the ideas and ideals in theatre this group attempts to propagate. We are proud to claim him as a member, and to extend our fondest good wishes for the future. F. Lee Miesle, Regional Director, Region II, Theta Alpha Phi Theta Alpha Phi, national honorary dramatics fraternity, wishes to honor Professor Clarence Hunter on the occasion of his retirement. The progress of theatre at Ohio Wesleyan is founded upon the precepts he has engendered here. He can proudly take his place among the outstanding teachers and directors of the non-professional theatre of our country who have brought into fine force a Renaissance in the theatre. Hun- dreds of students form a great immortality for him. He taught them well and inspired them to create and appreciate good drama. His method was ever stimulating. He is one of those rare teachers who can in performance demonstrate the art he teaches. Also he has been an influence in the national scene having served with distinction as the national president of Theta Alpha Phi. We, the members of Theta Alpha Phi, extend hearty congratulations to Clarence Hunter and hope sincerely that in retirement he will continue his connection with his colleagues, students, and friends throughout the world. R. W. Masters, National Secretary-Treasurer, Theta Alpha Phi There are many missionaries among us. Most are easily identified. A few are not. Clarence Hunter is not. For nearly four decades he has quietly and devoutly served the interests of and taught drama to college students. Their excellence and their works carry a far greater tribute to this man than mere written or spoken words. It seems more than fitting that the conclusion of this great teacher's second act should have been written by one of the world's greatest playwrights, Shakespeare. This final production, therefore, shall be a capstone to the columnar teaching career of this man who has done so much for so many. To those of us who have followed Clarence Hunter in the Presi- dency of Theta Alpha Phi, we find the way challenging. It is our hope that when our second act curtain comes, we will be able to look forward to the third act with the same confidence. We pray that we will be able to feel a measure of the same pride of ser- vice and accomplishment of the past while anticipating the future. Thank you, Clarence Hunter. We can only try. Good luck and may God bless you. Sam M. Marks, National President, Theta Alpha Phi TRAGIC NIGHT in the career of Professor Hunter was February 24, 1934, when the City Opera House was completely destroyed by fire. This was the first theater used by Ohio Wesleyan dramatists. Professor Newcomb recalled that "there was a decided 'air' about this old 'Opry House.' This was due to the fact that the fire department stable was located on the first floor." After the fire, Ohio Wesleyan turned to the Delaware public schools to pro- vide theater arrangements in Willis High Auditorium. The University, in spite of the fact that it has had an outstanding program in dramatics, has never had a theater of its own. Professor Hunter has worked hard and long toward this end, and his many friends have hoped it could be realized be- fore his retirement.

Description An account of the resource [page 4] [corresponds to unlabeled page 4 in OWU Choir Program] About Ohio Wesleyan Located in Delaware near the geographical center of the State of Ohio, Ohio Wesleyan University has for over one hundred years occupied a distinguished place among the educational institutions of the United States. It was established in 1842 by the Methodist Church. Since its founding the Methodists have continued to maintain great interest in it, and to give financial aid to its program. The men and women of the faculty, of high character and academic training, are, first of all, good teachers. The University, which is fully accredited by the Association of American Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the National Association of Schools of Music, is regarded by graduate and professional schools as supplying a fine prepara- tion for their work. The following degrees are conferred: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Fine Arts, and Master of Arts. In the music area, majors are offered in piano, voice, organ, school music (choral and instrumental), and in an orchestral or band instrument, theory, or church music. The Department of Music is located in Sanborn Hall, a building of some seventy- five rooms. Here we find a recital hall, class rooms, rehearsal rooms for music organi- zations, practice studios, teaching studios, and the music library. The library houses, in addition to books, recordings, and orchestral, band and choral scores. The Department is organized to give instruction, not only to those majoring in music, but also to those interested in music as an avocation. The fields of study include piano, organ, violin, cello, woodwind and brass instruments, percussion, theory, compo- sition, history, and literature and appreciation of music. The music staff are gifted specialists who are performers as well as fine teachers. The instruction is geared to professional standards with a view to training majors to take an active part in the music life of their generation as performers, private teachers, college instructors, school music supervisors, church organists and ministers of music, arrangers, and conduc- tors. Choral performance has been an important activity at Ohio Wesleyan since the establishment of the Music Department in 1877. With the upsurge in choral singing in the colleges of America following the First World War, the Ohio Wesleyan Choir was founded, becoming a group dedicated to the development of a singing technique and style capable of performing the great choral masterpieces, both secular and sacred, from the Renaissance to contemporary times. Recently a distinguished New York composer and critic writing in the AMERICAN ORGANIST called it "one of America's finest stu- dent choirs." Several contemporary composers have dedicated compositions to it, and the group has given premier performances of other contemporary works as well. The Choir has made forty-seven annual tours which have taken it into all parts of the United States and Canada. This is the Choir's second trip abroad.

Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to unlabeled page 3 of A Hundred Years] Foreword The world crisis of today presents a challenge unrivalled in the annals of history. Creative and constructive Christian leadership is the most vital need of every nation. Colleges such as Ohio Wesleyan University have ever met such chal- lenges and must meet them even more effectively today and tomorrow. Ohio Wesleyan University completes the first century of service in 1942. The record of these years is unique in the quality and extensiveness of leadership produced. Proud of the heritage of the past and realizing the needs of today, Ohio Wesleyan leaders are designing a forward movement for the univer- sity. The second hundred years must be greater than the first. Young men and young women of dynamic personality and moral character must be trained to serve their age. Early pioneers of faith, sacrifice, courage and devotion made possible the founding of Ohio Wesleyan. Investments of time, talents and re- sources now will preserve foundations already laid and build for tomorrow.

BEGINNINGS "There is no Methodist College in Ohio. There is no state in the country which has more need for such a college." This challenge was read to the North Ohio Conference in September, 1840. Little more than a year later, under the leadership of the Reverend Adam Poe, the Methodist pastor in Delaware, one hundred and seventy-two towns- people had subscribed $9,000 which which to launch such a college. The Man- sion House, an inn which stood near a white sulphur spring, was purchased. A special charter for the founding of a university was granted by the Ohio State Legislature on March 7, 1842. The Preamble reads: "The Ohio and North Ohio Methodist Conferences are determined upon establishing an extensive university ... to the support of which they are pledged to use their utmost efforts ... this university is forever to be conducted on the most liberal prin- ciples, accessible to all religious denominations ..." Twenty-nine students enrolled in the new college for the first term. Although this was only about one-fourth as many students as had been expected, although the first four instructors waited long periods for their pay, never a doubt arose in the minds of those Christian pioneers that the school would succeed. They knew before undertaking the venture that it would mean sacrifice, but they were not daunted. The full measure of their dreams could be realized only in the establishment of a Christian college. Keenly aware of this need, they were willing to give much of the little which they possessed to see Ohio Wesleyan grow.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to unlabeled page 7 in A Hundred Years] Our Heritage GROWTH THROUGH SACRIFICE A circuit rider sold his horse and walked that he might make a contribution to the college. A president sold his home to provide the initial gift for a fund with which to build a chapel. Year by year loyal students and alumni made contributions; believers in education with a Christian emphasis built their lives into each new structure. As the student body increased, a larger chapel was needed, and Gray Chapel was given by David S. Gray as a memorial to his father. To meet another great need of the institution, Charles Elihu Slocum started the fund for the library that bears his name. The Monnett family contributed to the building of Monnett Hall; Anna Sanborn Clason gave money toward the building of Sanborn Hall; and the Edwards family contributed to the gymnasium. Professor Hiram Perkins, together with his wife and sister, gave the savings of a life time for the building and endowing of Perkins Observatory. The gift of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Edgar made possible the acquisition of Edgar Hall. The Selby brothers, Pearl, Mark, Homer and Roger, as a memorial to their father, Mr. George Selby, contributed funds for the erection of Selby Stadium. The newest building on the campus is Stuyvesant Hall, the beautiful home of freshman women. This was the generous gift of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stuyvesant. After the death of Mr. Stuyvesant, Mrs. Stuyvesant, in memory of her hus- band, installed the carillon tower with its beautifully toned chimes.

Description An account of the resource [page 8] [corresponds to unlabeled page 8 in A Hundred Years] The names mentioned here are of those whose gifts are represented in build- ings. Many, many others have contributed generously. But money has not been the only important contribution to this university; if that were so, Ohio Wesleyan would be only brick and wool and stone, not the living spirit that holds the love and loyalty of thousands of men and women. Lives have been given as freely as money. Long years of devoted service in the classroom have been chiefly rewarded by the affection of students and the knowledge that it was all a part of the building of the Kingdom of God, not only in Delaware, but around the world. The roster of those who have thus nobly served is too long to be printed here, for countless are the people who have become a part of the growth of Ohio Wesleyan University, projecting their influence into thousands of young lives-- into the future of America. ALUMNI ACHIEVEMENT Throughout these first one hundred years, Ohio Wesleyan University has been recognized for the excellence of its scholastic achievement and its conse- crated Christian living. Its leaders have consistently realized that the highest type of academic training and the building of Christian character cann, and should, go hand in hand. Ohio Wesleyan has contributed eminent leadership to every important field of endeavor in American life. In law, politics, medicine, journalism, art, music, and in international relations, its graduates have distinguished themselves. Those trained in the sciences have helped to make every-day life more comfort- able, more safe, more worth living. Others have gone forth to teach in the nation's schools and colleges, per- petuating the best within themselves in the lives of those whom they taught. A distinguished group has served the church in a notable way, as bishops, min- isters, and lay leaders. Still others have become missionaries, spreading the gospel of Christ to the far ends of the earth. Many have written articles and books that have inspired and influenced our thinking.

They are young people of good character, proven ability, and serious in their desire to acquire an education where the emphasis is on Christian char- acter-building as well as intellectual and physical development. There are one hundred and twenty-five men and women on the teaching and administrative staff. These leaders of today's students are consecrated to the Christian ideal and have been carefully chosen because of proficiency in their respective fields and their interest in personalized education with a Christian emphasis. Ohio Wesleyan University is fully accredited by all rating bodies, Founda- tions and graduate schools of America. A chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary society, was established on the Delaware campus in 1907. Beginning with one building -- the Old Mansion House, now Elliott Hall, Ohio Wesleyan has acquired buildings and grounds imposing in appearance and great in value. The university is now housed in seventeen buildings on three campuses. Property of various kinds has been added to the holdings through the years, so that today the assets of Ohio Wesleyan have a book value of $7,439,000.... And so Ohio Wesleyan has continued to grow, to influence, and to serve, throughout its first one hundred years. The needs of yesterday have been met. Now comes tomorrow -- with greater needs and greater opportunities.

Dr. Burgstahler served prominent pastorates of the Methodist Church most acceptably before being called to the presidency of Cornell College, Mount Vernon, Iowa. During his twelve years (1927-1939) as president of Cornell College, the institution enjoyed outstanding prosperity, the endowment was substantially increased, new buildings were erected and many of the older build- ings reconditioned, and its educational program greatly advanced. He is widely known as a leading educator, administrator, and public speaker. His presidency bespeaks a new and better day for Ohio Wesleyan.

Description An account of the resource [page 12] [corresponds to unlabeled page 12 in A Hundred Years] PRESIDENT BURGSTAHLER'S MESSAGE What does the world need most in this catastrophic hour? Fear, confusion, and insecurity harass the minds of men the world around. The imperative for the world today and tomorrow is Christian statesmen-- high-minded men and women who have character, who are moved by Christian motives to serve, who believe that God is at the helm, that human personality is sacred and that ultimately Christian ideals and standards will abide in the world. Ohio Wesleyan has a century prepared such men. Its record of alumni leadership in the world is amazing. Its contribution of such leadership tomorrow will be even greater because of superior educational standards and techniques. This education will be purposed to inspire young men and women to live nobly, sacrificially, and creatively for their age. Future facilities, as those of the past, will be selected for their thorough scholastic abilities, proven teaching qualities, and their definite interest in personalizing education. The new century of Ohio Wesleyan must be greater than the last if we are to fulfill the hopes and dreams of those noble men who laid its foundations. This will require greater income, freeing the university of debt, reconditioning buildings, adding new equipment, building a dormitory for men, and in general improving the financial structure of the university. We who believe in Christ-centered education will build with vision as great, and sacrifice as vicarious and daring, as did our forebears. The investments of money and self now will insure the preparing of world leaders who will preserve the hard won standards of today's life and will help build the world of tomorrow according to the program of the Master of menn. Permit me to express my deep appreciation to all who have cooperated so loyally in the past. With God's help, we together, will begin the new century with assurance of increasing success. H. J.

Description An account of the resource [page 13] [corresponds to unlabeled page 13 in A Hundred Years] "...And Our Dreams" TOMORROW The American people face new opportunities and new responsibilities. On many sides the democratic, and even the Christian way of life is being chal- lenged. If the spiritual ideals of our nation are to persist, they must be given new support and greater encouragement. Our educational institutions must continue to pursue the truth, to cherish the good, and to teach young people to live happy, worthwhile lives. The world's greatest need is for really Christian education, the kind of education for which Ohio Wesleyan has stood for one hundred years; the kind of education we want to give in a better way to more young men and women in the days and years to come. Just as Ohio Wesleyan has produced great leaders in the past, so must it produce even greater leaders in the future. The courage and daring of the pioneer must be made to live again. During the first hundred years those who had faith in the development of a greater Ohio Wesleyan, brought that faith to fulfillment by a sacrificial spirit and unselfish generosity. There is a need that men and women today have the same kind of faith and determination that Ohio Wesleyan may continue to go forward.

Description An account of the resource [page 16] [corresponds to unlabeled page 16 in A Hundred Years] And Our Dreams THE CENTENNIAL FUND Alumni and other friends of Ohio Wesleyan have agreed that the Centennial Anniversary is an appropriate time to register anew their devotion and their faith, and to make a furthur investment in the future of the university. At the threshold of its second century, they are resolved that it shall have the material means to carry on its work in the finest possible way. As an embodiment of their good will and confidence, they have determined to establish a centennial fund of a million dollars minimum. The program is already under way. The announcement of the plan brought a challenge-gift of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars; other substantial gifts followed. The spirit of generosity and of sacrifice still endures. By the united efforts of friends of the college, the goal set will be accomplished. Loyalty and devotion will not fail. With the minimum sum of one million dollars added to the present assets, the financial status of the university will be strengthened greatly. This rep- resents the beginning of the forward program of the university for the new century. LEADERS OF THE MOVEMENT To provide a centennial celebration worthy of the university, and to see that all friends and alumni have an opportunity to help make the Centennial Fund of a minimum of one million dollars a glorious reality, careful plans have been made. Dr. William Frederick Bigelow, alumnus and trustee, has been chosen as Centennial Fund Chairman. Cooperating with him as financial counsellor and executive director of the movement is Dr. J. Wesley Miller. The Centennial Fund is endorsed by the North-East Ohio and Ohio Con- ferences of the Methodist Church. Bishop H. Lester Smith of the Cincinnati Area is serving as chairman of the church division of the campaign.

Description An account of the resource [page 20] [corresponds to unlabeled page 20 in A Hundred Years] And Our Dreams THE CHALLENGE The ancient prophet has said, "Without vision, the people perish." Ohio Wesleyan leaders and friends have vision. They also have faith. Their vision and faith will bring the realization of the Centennial Fund, which means the financial strengthening of the structure and program of the university. With all working together this can be accomplished. The worth-whileness of the Ohio Wesleyan program is evidenced by the character of its students -- those of yesterday, those of today, and (can we doubt it?) those of tomorrow, for whom we would build now. Look into the faces of the two students pictured on the opposite page. In the faces of these students are both the revelation and the promise of the greatness of Ohio Wesleyan. To help maintain the Ohio Wesleyan type of Christian education for such as these is the privilege and the opportunity of every alumnus and friend of the institution. Success is the campaign for the Centennial Fund of a minimum of one million dollars will be insurance that Ohio Wesleyan's second century of service to young men and women will be even greater than that of the first century. Devotion, sacrifice, and daring just now will bring rich dividends in the future. Will you meet the challenge?
