THE PRESIDENT'S PAGE Dear Friends of Otterbein: In its 100th year, Otterbein College has its largest enrollment to date. There are 871 fulbtime students; total attendance will rise above 1000. Chapel services are being held in the United Brethren Church, and the large sanctuary is filled to capacity. This unprecedented attendance at Otterbein is part of the “educational bulge” which is common on college and university campuses just now. It is estimated that three million students will matriculate this year in American schools of higher education, which is more than twice the normal pre-war average. The unusual increase in college and university enrollments is attributed to five causes: (1) the return of veterans whose educational careers were delayed by the war; (2) economic prosperity which enables more families to send nonweteran sons and daughters to college; (3) a clearer reali2;ation that college training is of tremendous value in preparing Dr. J. Gordon Howard, '22 for leadership; (4) the increasing demand for Sixteenth President of Otterbein college trained men on the part of business and industry; (5) the pressure of labor unions and other college, and current funds must be used unduly to groups to keep young people off the labor market as meet the demand. To complicate the picture, just long as possible. at the time when income from college endowment is most needed, interest rates are exceedingly low.

Honors bring responsibilities and I and my capable associates, Mrs. William Bale and Mrs. Ralph Smith, gladly accept the responsibility of bringing to you this Centennial year the story of Otterbein’s achievements over the century, her plans for a glorious celebration and her outlook for what promises to be an even greater future.

Weic ome Homecomers — Homecoming this year will be the biggest and most important in the history of Otterbein. It is the climactic year in the life of the college and every Otterbein person who can possibly make it will be here to celebrate with his friends. Those who were in Service have been dreaming of this Homecoming for a long time. There will be nearly nine hundred students to greet you. More men are out for football this year than the total male enrollment two years ago. There can be no doubt that we will have the most beautiful queen, the most elaborate parade, the best football game, the biggest bull sessions, and the classiest play. The Homecoming ox roast will be an interesting innovation. On behalf of the Alumni Council I want to welcome you to the day’s festivities. Louis A. Weinland, '30 —Louis A. Weinland President, Alumni Council

The Keys to the City —

Here at Westerville, Ohio, and Otterbein College are things that you just cannot put down in writing, or in pictures. Especially does this seem true at “Fall Homecoming.” There is the blaze of fall colors, the decorated Fraternity Houses, the painted streets with footsteps, twenty feet long leading down College Avenue to the Ad Building. Then there is the Homecoming football game with Albion, the crowii' ing of the Homecoming Queen, the luncheons, the parties, the many meetings of old friends. Forming a stage and background for all of the above-mentioned activities is the Village of Westerville. We as its citizens are indeed proud of Otterbein College and we assure you that we will do everything in our power to make you feel at home here during Homecoming week end. All we ask is that you avail yourself of the opportunity to visit again with us. The keys of the “quiet peaceful village” are yours. Make use of them November Howard W. Elliott, '15 the 9th, 1946.

Homecoming Queens — Past and Present

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

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

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

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