Today, I walked the Avenue And, rising high against the sky, The Towers of Otterbein Came into view.

It minded me of other days, When in my youth I spent long hours Beneath those Towers, Those Towers of Otterbein.

They still are mine, those red brick walls. Those dear old halls; But most of all, Those Towers of Otterbein.

former Methodist missionaries who had served in Burma. Pictured on this page is one example of African tribal art from Sierra Leone, which is now a part of the collection of Otterbein College. This Bundu mask and others were assembled at Otterbein many years ago by Professor Emeritus E. W. E. Schear, '07, for their eth­ nological significance. From the turn of the century when such works were recognized by Picasso, Braque, Gris and other masters of modern art for their artistic worth, interest in African tribal art has been steadily increasing. Otterbein has elected to develop the nucleus of the African tribal art collection which Professor Schear began.

We would be happy to talk with you member schools. The program being developed during about it. the past three years has several thrusts. In one program, Earl Hassenpflug the most immediate solution \was the hiring of European Chairman, Art Department art historians for circuit teaching in their own special areas. A longer range program is the development of proc- tored courses. These courses utilizing tapes, slides, films and original art works offer a wealth of material which students study, for the most part independently, at their own pace. The teacher’s time is freed from routine teach­ ing, enabling him to concentrate on developing a rich multi-media introductory program and discussion ses­ sions in which the interests of the group are explored. The first such course offered was in meso-American art. The second, being developed at present and to be taught in the Spring of 1970, is in African tribal art. To prepare this course one faculty member from each school was given a Kress grant in the summer of 1969. The group has been involved in individual study and seminar sessions. Earl Hassenpflug, chairman of the art department at Otterbein, utilized his grant to travel to New York, West Africa, Paris and London. Each stop afforded the opportunity to study major museum collec­ tions of African art and to make some purchases. The faculty participants in the study are now combining their efforts in organizing the course. A third thrust of the Kress Foundation grant is the development of a museum collection with a focus on one specific area in each of the schools. Sharing the collec­ tions between the schools will provide a rich variety of original study material for students in all five colleges. Denison University has led with the development of a magnificent collection of Burmese art assembled dur­ ing the past five years, largely as a result of gifts from Yoruba mask from Nigeria, purchased In 1969 6 1969-1970 Prod aimed as Science Year

Charles Kuralt Re-Visits Otterbein Charles Kuralt and his roving team from CBS TV network paid a second visit to Westerville within the past two years — this time to discuss apples! The newsmen visited Dr. Robert Price to quiz the Otterbein professor about the legendary Johnny Appleseed (1774-1845) and his historic appleseed plantings. Kuralt has been using Dr. Price's book, Johnny Appleseed: Man and Myth, as a guide in his assignment on the man. The Johnny Appleseed segment will be shown soon on CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite (6:30-7:00 p.m.). The CBS team originally drove their motor-bus into Westerville in 1967 to film the career-story of 87-year-old Dr. J. F. Smith, professor emeritus of speech. A poignant post script to the “Prof. Smith Story” occurred when the CBS team revisited the professor — this time at the Westerville Convalescent Center, where he is seriously ill.

19 Communications Committee Makes Recommendations

A second committee appointed by the Board of Trustees during the past spotlight on spouts year is one to improve communica­ tions between alumni and the cam­ pus community. One of the recommendations being made by this committee at the next Otterbein Wins Opener and Stagg Trophy meeting of the trustees is for an in­ crease in the frequency of publica­ tions for alumni, to include a news­ letter several times a year to supple­ ment the quarterly TOWERS bulletin. A second recommendation is for the inclusion in TOWERS of a column or page devoted to answering ques­ tions posed by alumni on news of the campus, procedures for admis­ sions, long-range plans of the ad­ ministration, and other items on which alumni would like more in­ formation. This recommendation was imple­ mented in the Spring Issue of TOW­ ERS with the page entitled ‘Tell It Otterbein’s tri-captains accepted the Old Hat Trophy from Frank Enterline, Like It Is.” An invitation was given president of the Sunbury, Pennsylvania, Kiwanis Club, following the Cardinals’ at that time to alumni to write their 28-27 opening game victory over Susquehanna University at Selinsgrove.

20 It Was a Great Reunion

If we counted correctly, more peo­ ple attended the 1969 Alumni Lunch­ eon than in any previous year. Re­ union classes more than filled the big dining room of the Campus Cen­ ter, and some Very Important People had to be seated in the auxiliary rooms — but what a great time was had by all!

Yes, it rained, and some of us got very wet crossing the parking lot to the Hirsch Health Center for the CLASS OF 1909 — Grace Mumma Dick, Clara Worstell DeLong, Harvey McFarren, Mary dedication. All the class pictures had Sechrist Fries. to be taken inside, and you will notice that the classes of 1929 and 1949 had to pose twice to get everyone in the picture.
