The administrative Functions of Bowling Green State College are divided into four parts. The clerical work is done by the Business and Registrar's Offices, under the direction of Mr. Jordan and Mr. Perry, respectively. No student will forget the penciled signature, "Gertrude Brod" on his registration receipt, nor will he forget the charming courtesy of Mr. Perry as he turns to your problem of schedule or chapel assignment; nor does anyone leave the registrar's office without an increased measure of good will inspired by the ^iendly cheerfulness of Miss Leedom who is ever ready to go an extra mile to find that mislaid blank or last semester's registration card. The courtesy and ease that characterize these two offices, together with the efficiency of their work, leave a decidedly pleasing and refresh¬ ing impression upon those who come in contact with them. The second administrative division is that of the two colleges. The College of Edu¬ cation is conducted under the able supervision and personal enthusiasm of Dean Clyde W. C. Jordan Hissong, to whom no small measure of credit is due for the character and ability of the graduates from Bowling Green. The College of Liberal Arts, created by legislative act in 1930 offers to Bowling Green students the advantages of a broad liberal training intended to make their lives richer and fuller in meaning and values; this college is under the leadership of Dean James R. Overman. The third administrative division, that of personal supervision and social planning, is constructively carried on by Dr. James R. Overman, Dean of Men, and Mrs. Maude F. Sharpe, Dean of Women. Dean Sharpe had the misfortune to suffer ill health during the eaHy part of the second semester, but her guiding function was assumed and well performed by the self-governing Women's League. Dean Sharpe builds the social calendar and directs the social activities of the college, and here again, she leaves much to the student Social Committee, thus fostering self-dependence and self-direction on the part of the student body so far as possible. Dean Overman also is well fitted to his office of personal guidance.

President H. B. Williams, in his capacity as president, supervises and coordinates the functions of these three administrative divisions into one harmonious whole, and to his deep interest in young people and his enthusiasm for educational opportunities for them, is due, again, in no small measure, the fine reputation and vigorous progress which this college enjoys.

13 "Read not to contradict and confute, nor believe and take for granted,—but to weigh and consider", deeply graven across the front of our Library, expresses the fundamental meaning of the College of Liberal Arts. Written by the Renais¬ sance philosopher, Francis Bacon, this quotation embodies the spirit of the re-awakened intellectual freedom which liberated men from the blind surrender to superstitions and destructive customs to which they had been subjected. The function of a liberal education, as restated through the centuries has been to develop within the individual the ability to weigh and consider that which surrounds him, that he may establish a point of view about which to correlate the many phenomena of his life. In this sense, he acquires a measure of personal power and mastery as he becomes oriented with respect to the forces and relationships composing his environment; and as his conduct grows more meaningful, he becomes in a truer sense an intelligently moral and social being. The era of narrow specialization is waning and THE
college students are again commencing to appreciate VALUE OF A the value of a liberal education. Several reasons LIBERAL account for this change. A recent study of engineering EDUCATION graduates shows that sixty per cent are doing admini¬
strative work by the time they are forty, and that they complain that their technical training does not fit them to meet the larger problems of executive work. Leaders in other professions are also urging the necessity of a
broader study of the psychological, social, scientific and economic factors underlying the technical work, so that the individual may be equipped to grow in his profession and to meet the changing problems which it presents.
Another reason for the increasing interest in liberal
education is the growing complexity of our society.
For years we have been improving the physical con¬ ditions under which we live, and our success in this has resulted in a world with new and rapidly changing problems. Since these problems are economic, social, psychological and scientific, the wise student seeks an understanding of the fundamental principles in each of these fields, and the ability to apply them to new and unforeseen conditions.
Finally the modern student desires a liberal educa¬ tion because he wants a richer life. Since he will probably have considerable leisure in the world in which he will live, he is taking courses in literature,
music, art, drama and other subjects which will help him to get more happiness out of living, and prevent his becoming a bore to himself end others.

THE NEW FREEDOM "Since the day of the pioneer the meaning of liberty has deepened. But it has not ceased to be a fundamental demand of the human spirit, a fundamental necessity for the life of the soul, and the day is at hand when it shall be realized on this consecrated soil,—A New Freedom, a Liberty widened and deepened to match the broadened life of man in modern America, restoring to him in very truth the control of his government, throwing wide all gates of lawful enterprise, unfet¬ tering his energies, and warming the generous impulses of his heart—a process of release, emancipation, and inspiration, full of a breath of life as sweet and whole¬ some as the airs that filled the sails of the caravels of Columbus, and gave the promise and boast of magnificent Opportunity in which America dare not fail." —WOODROW WILSON FACULTY
Teaching is universal in its application. Every TEACHING individual serves in some capacity as a leader and, hence, as a teacher. Such moments carry their peculiar AS A N challenge. The individual who resolves to devote his life to a determined attempt to modify behavior in ADVENTURE more desirable directions accepts the greater challenge. He must not approach his chosen task without the equipment which will enable him to follow his adventure to a successful completion. The teacher's work shop is never the same. His laboratory material, the human organism, is the most fascinating in the world. This human material, moving constantly in a new direction, calls forth all the ingenu¬ ity of the teacher to influence that direction. This challenge of the untried way, the thrilling adventure into an unknown intellectual world, makes the real teacher approach each new day with enhanced joy and anticipation. To make his adventure most worthwhile to himself and to others, the teacher needs a background of psychology, an intelligent appreciation of principles underlying the effective modification of behavior, and a dominating philosophic concept of education. Pro¬ fessional courses meeting these needs send the teacher to the classroom better fitted to do his work and to enjoy it, for he is able to see something of the why of a child's activities and desires. Professional preparation in the narrow sense is not enough. Glimpses into various subject matter fields widen intellectual horizons. A more intense applica¬ tion in fields of major interest is fundamental in promoting Dr. Clyde Hissong professional growth and satisfaction. Experiences of Dean of the College of Education this type, usually referred to as academic training, are taken for granted as a necessary part of preparation for the teaching adventure. The individual who takes with him a scientific attitude in his study of human behavior, an enriched background of academic training, a continuous effort to extend his own knowledge, a desire to give his best to the learner, familiarity with innumerable prob¬ lems involved in social living, and a sense of social responsibility, will go zealously forward to the end of his adventure.

26 FACULTY The Training School is organized and operated to serve a THE large number of students in the College of Education in a variety of ways. Its primary functions are pretty clearly indicated by its title. Its aim in the first place is to be a good school for the FUNCTIONS pupils who are enrolled in it. In common with all other units of the complex public school organization the Training School OF THE must directly or indirectly contribute to the better education of children. TRAINING For students in elementary education the Training School undertakes to render a number of services. In the first place it is SCHOOL a laboratory in which the art of teaching is demonstrated. College classes in a number of professional courses make systematic observations of teaching procedures in the various grades as a requirement of the course. The purpose of the demonstration teaching is not to maintain a specially devised educational show for public exhibition but to operate a working model of a prac¬ tical public school. The school also offers students opportunities for testing their natural aptitude for working with children. Students often find themselves better suited to teaching either older or younger children than those whom they thought they preferred before having any direct experience. Some students in fact find them¬ selves unsuited to the requirements of teaching while many gain from their experience in practice teaching a professional enthus¬ iasm which far exceeds their expectations. Another service of the Training School is to provide oppor¬ tunity to learn under close supervision many skills which by the unguided process of trial and error would be learned only at a very costly price to the professional spirit of the teacher and at an even greater cost to the efficiency of learning on the part of the pupils. There are many definitely learnable skills and abilities in teaching in spite of whatever credence may be placed in the statement that teachers are born, not made. The practice teaching is conducted with a view of promoting the learning of such skills and abilities. In addition to providing opportunities for practice teaching to students in elementary education, the Training School offers facilities for practical experience to many students who specialize in particular fields such as physical education and music. Students majoring in physical education, both men and women, carry on a daily program of training in their field with the children of the Training School. They also conduct special features of play such as Saturday morning hikes and after school games and contests. Students specializing in music find in the Training School extensive opportunity for teaching the regular daily program in singing and for special programs in aopreciation and in other phases of instruction in music. During the past year a special class in instruments has developed into a beginning band of fifteen pieces. Since all members of the band are now enrolled in the fourth and fifth grades, it is expected that in the course of one or two years the Training School will have a boys' and girls' band which will be a source of pride not only to the Training School but to the Music Department as well. Finally may be mentioned the earnest attempt on the part of the Training School staff to maintain a forward-looking position in the selection and organization of materials of instruction and in applying the science of education to procedures in teaching. The Training School then may be thought of as a unit of the College of Education closely integrated with a number of its functions. It is the hope of the Training School staff that all students who come into direct contact with its operations in any way may gain from that experience a clearer insight into the nature of educational processes, some definite impetus toward maturing a fine skill in teaching, and an enduring enthusiasm for rendering the highest possible type of educational service to the children of Ohio. The teachers of the Training School also hope that experience in their department may have contributed in some measure to the loyalty which graduates feel for their college. DR. HOPPES Dr. W. C.

During this period the student teacher prepares a syllabus of the subject matter which will be taught during the semester preparatory to the construc¬ tion of lesson plans.

29 ELEMENTARY CRITIC TEACHERS
From the word critic one often implies the meaning of finding fault, hence a critic teacher is pictured as one placed in a position for the sole purpose of picking out defects in teaching pro¬ cedures employed by students. Is this the conception student teachers have, students who have worked under FT -? teachers employed in the elementary field of this college? Far from it! Instead they look upon her as a guide and consolation when confronted with the trials of a school-room teacher. Around the campus the remark, "How I wish I could teach as well as does my critic", is often heard. So not only does she serve as a guide and companion, but also, through her explicit example of teaching, she auto¬ matically sets up a standard, a goal, toward which students constantly strive. What more can we ask of any instructor? And where can we find any better qualified for the purpose than these? SENIOR CLASS

The crux of the situation lies in stand¬ ards, in individual standards of indi¬ vidual attainment, forming in their accumulative result a group attitude. A life bound and controlled by a narrow, concentrated driving force, constantly propelling all efforts and energy toward "the worldly hope men set their hearts upon" will find its end.

38 THE ORANGE AND BROWN
Home of aspiring souls, Our College stands On fertile plains where once roamed Indian bands; Where gorgeous sunsets tint the bending sky; Where pioneers strong in dust now lie: Keep thou the flame enkindled at their shrine Our hearts in beauty to entwine.
Above unfurled, Our Standard staunch and true, Orange where the glow of sunset fades to blue, Brown for the faith of youth in Country dear
Who gather in thy halls each year, Seeking thy truth to aid in fortune s quest Calmly distilling what is best.
Who yet can sing thy honor and thy praise? Whose pen can write? whose voice in triumph raise?
Wisdom and culture, purity of aim— What future glories crown thy name! The thousands come and gone will honor thee
With thee in faith the years will be.
Teach us, State College, to be loyal and brave, To search for truth and ne'er to be Time's slave,- To set a light in this dark age of doubt, Put ignorance and fear to rout: Live on and on, unshackled and unblamed, Honored, and cherished and acclaimed.

A TREE'S CHANT
A bright white road and a hot, piercing sun Dazed me,- stung me—so I called my trip done. The shadow of an old tree, laughing with fun Asked me to rest; I was easily won. It murmured this tale of religion: Slow, pagan chant ng Numbing and haunting. Deadening and stealing The very fury from Hell, As the Black Man howled in worship! Rolling and swaying, thump-thumping and crying, Jumping and howling, wild eyes flying, Shiny black bodies, screaming . . . defying And great waves of dampness rising . . . rising To the angry, greedy, red drying sun. Slow pagan chanting. Numbing and haunting, Deadening and stealing The very fury from Hell, As the Black Man howled in worship! Shiny black bodies gleaming with sweat, Vivid red tongues with frenzied froth wet— But the cool, green trees laughed— Are laughing yet As the Black Man howls in worship Slow pagan chanting, Numbing and haunting, Deadening and stealing The very fury from Hell, As the Black Man howled in worship!

SOPHOMORE DEGREE CLASS
One of the largest and most active organized groups of the college is the Sophomore Degree Class. Under the able leadership of the class officials, Leo Copeland, Yvonne Steffani, and Lucille Wickham, the legislative and other duties of the class have been transacted. To these repre¬ sentatives, for their complete and efficient handling of the administrative end of the class's business, is due a large part of the credit for the high standing of the class. Among the hopeful graduates of '36 we find developing in fine style, an unusually large number of future Bowling Green stars and aces. Already a number have distinguished themselves as being worthy of commendation for brilliant and outstanding play and have won laurels in inter-college athletic competition. In the literary, musical, commercial, arts, and other depart¬ ments, this group is represented by students who are con¬ tinually demonstrating their unusual skill and are instrumental to a certain extent in sponsoring events which will add more fame to their Alma Mater. One of the most delightful events of the social year was the Sophomore Prom, a semi-formal affair, which provided superb entertainment for those collegiates who spend their week-ends in Bowling Green. Ardent and hopeful enthusiasm for the success of the college organizations, for the publication of the college paper and yearbook, for the wealth of association obtained Lucile Wickham . Vice-President through fraternity and sorority relationships are apparent Leo Copeland President from the willing and hearty co-operation displayed by the members of the class.

The feat is all the more noteworthy when we realize that this was our first yecr in big time competition.
The record of this year added to the record of nine wins and five losses for last year gives Bowling Green State its two best successive years in basket¬ ball. Then, too, many of the defeats were close decisions in which overtime periods were necessary to decide the issue. In such close games it is the breaks that favor one team or the other and it was Bowling Green State's misfortune to be en the short end of the scores. BASK ET BALL

Addi¬ tional squad members who are expected to return include Hartman, Albon, Wilson, George, Copeland, Barnes, and McColloch coupled with some excellent Freshman prospects give reason to believe that Bowling Green State will have another fine team next year.

While experience is of some advantage to a track man earnest effort and conscientious training are far more important and if adhered to are certain to pay large dividends. Our success on the track this season must come from the latter.
We are fortunate indeed to have one of the outstanding distance men of the state in LeRoy Phillips. McCrory and Gaeth are also good in this department. B. G. S.

Mr. Brown, a trustee of Bowling Green State has established a recognized tradition in the institution which^ has come to be known as the Brown Award".
Following the season for each major sport, a banquet is held in honor of the varsity men who have represented our institution in that particular branch of athletics. At this time the lettermen vote for the one player whom they believe to be the most valuable man to the team in question. The individual winning the award must have an athletic spirit, be a good "all around fellow," and a leader in his field of athletic activity. The one selected has his name inscribed upon a bronze plaque which rests in the school's trophy case.
This traditional honor has continued to increase in popularity with the years and has a most favorable stimulating effect upon each and every participant in major sports for it is deemed as an honor worth striving for.

Much is expected of them next year. Fry, in spite of his small stature was a good shot and high scorer of the team. Other outstanding men on the team were Jones, Feustermaker, Collins, Brown, Belding and Ihnat. Everyone of these boys improved rapidly as the season progressed and all should make it difficult "for the lettermen who will return next year to hold their regular jobs.
113 WOMEN'S ATHLETICS
The physical education class is called, attendance checked, brief instructions given to group leaders, questions answered—and the class goes into action. It is a busy scene.
In the outdoor season, one group goes to the playing field where games using all the big muscles of the body in running, throwing, batting, dodging, and kicking, bring that quickened heart beat, deepened breathing and general stimulation of all the body functions which spells Health. Other groups on the tennis courts and archery range learn skills which should give healthful pleasure in many of those leisure hours which sociologists say are here to stay.
The winter season has its varied activities. Everyone dances. To dance is to take part in the folk customs of other lands, to understand and appreciate music, to release emotions in a wholesome way. Everyone learns how to play some of Arnerica s popular leisure time games—bowling, shuffle board, table tennis and badminton. The gymnasium is full of motion but not commotion. A spirit of socia¬ bility and frequent merry laughter attests to the wholesome relaxation so essential to mental health in these days of stress and strain.
The physical education lesson is made a part of each individual, worked into the very fiber of her being. It may be the neuromuscular coordination necessary to send the arrow into the bull's eye, the self control needed to be courteous and generous to a rival player, the intellectual alertness essential in making the best play according to the game situation, or the qualities of leadership required to organize an activity and get it under way in the shortest possible time. Whatever it may be, it is something thought about and then carried into action- "We learn best by doing."
114 W. A . A . OFFICERS IONE BLESSING President ELIZABETH FROST Vice-President LINDA DILL Secretary WINIFRED STONER Treasurer The purpose of the Women's Athletic Association is not merely to encourage athletic activity among the college women but to develop in them those high moral and spiritual qualities which result from the best type of Physical Education. Com¬ radeship, good sportsmanship, health, honesty, reliability, and honor figure in the W. A. A. code. The Association strives to provide suitable athletic activity for every college girl. Its motto is "A game for every girl, and every girl in a game." To carry out this principle the yearly program is arranged to include sports of many types. Hockey, soccer, archery, tennis, hiking, volleyball, basketball, baseball, individual sports, and track and field sports kept the members active throughout the past year. The activities of the W. A. A. are not confined entirely to sports. Under the leadership of their officers the members entertained at Sports Suppers and Roasts, sponsored the Kick-Off Dance given for the Football Team at the end of the season, and the dance-recital given by the Women's Physical Education Department. Play- day, held in the spring, was the last event of a successful year. Miss Shaw and Miss Hartman, faculty advisers of the organization, ably direct its activities. The W. A. A. enjoyed an extremely successful program of sports this year. The directors of the various sports were Genevieve Swain, tennis,- Mary Karschner, archery,- Dorothy Zieg, soccer; Ruth Andrews, hockey,- Helen Defray, hiking and volleyball; Mary Silva, basketball,- Wanda DeMongeot, baseball; Ann Rimelspach, track and field; and Marie Waterman, Individual Sports. In the fall season hockey and soccer teams competed for the honor of holding first place in those sports. The teams having the lowest standing in hockey and soccer gave the Fall Sports Supper for the victors and other W. A. A. members. Archery and tennis tournaments figured in both the fall and spring sports programs. Throughout the winter basketball, volleyball, and individual sports held sway. Two basketball leagues were organized, one the first semester, the other in the second semester. The Pirates won the highest standing in the first league, the Midgets in the second league. The season ended with a game between the two champion teams in which the Midgets were victorious. The volleyball program was unusually successful this year. The participants deserve special credit for their work. Individual sports included shuffle board, bowling, badminton, table- tennis, deck tennis, and ring tennis. The spring season brought in an interesting program of baseball games, track and field events, hiking, archery, and tennis activities. All these sports were in¬ cluded in the annual spring Play Day.
