Commemorating the Sesquicentennial, "The Green Adventure," a pageant written for the anniversary by Charles Allen Smart, will be presented several times this year. Students will handle all the acting, backstage duties and technical parts to the production.

The school also boasts a three-year-old Student Health Center. This building centers the College's medical services, and has room for forty to fifty bed patients. The state has purchased modern facilities, and unlike most small colleges there are enough physicians to handle all the patients.

Athletically, Ohio supports varsity teams in almost every sport, while on he intra-mural side students compete in 17 sports. A ten hole golf course is currently under construction, and the intramural plan will be expanded on its completion.

Relaxed Standards

Most students have plenty of time for athletics, because the scholastic standards are made more flexible because of the state-support. The governor of Ohio spends a great deal of money to send these young people to college, and he does not intend to see them flunk out. A student goes on warning only if he gets a D average. If his marks go up to D plus, he comes off warning. If they go below, he may conceivably be asked to leave the school.
