Fall Registration Plan
Announced by Williams
Registration procedure for the fall semester will be the
same as they were this semester, except a change in the alpha
betical registration of students, Dean of Admissions C. O.
Williams said yesterday.
Students whose names fall between Lan and Ode will reg
ister first, on Wednesday morning, September 14. Students
must register for themselves. Pen
alties will be imposed on any stu
dents breaking registration rules
by having someone else register
for them, Williams said.
Undergraduate and graduate
students will begin registering in
Recreation Hall on Wednesday,
September 14, and will finish the
afternoon of Friday, September 16.
Special students will register Sat
urday morning.
In following the same rules and
procedure that have been used
previous semesters, Williams said
that no exceptions '"hatsoever
will be made in the planned regis
tration schedule Students must
register at their allotted times.
Otherwise, they will be required
to pay $1 for the privilege of reg
istering late, he said.
In order to facilitate registering
on time, Williams suggested that
all students return to the Univer
sity at least 24 hours before their
scheduled registration time. Dur
ing this day, students must obtain
their official registration forms,
signed by their advisers.
Another prerequisite of regis
tration is the payment of fees.
Bursar David C. Hogan said that
forms for paying fees will be sent
to all students early in August.
For the first time, self-addressed
envelopes will be enclosed to
make payment easier.
Fees may be paid directly to the
bursar’s office before actual reg
istration, Hogan said.
Following is the alphabeticaTly
arranged registration schedule:
Lam-Ode, Wednesday morning.
Odf-Sme, Wednesday morning.
Smf-Z, Thursday morning.
A-Coy, Thursday afternoon.
Coz-Ghj, Friday morning.
Grp-Lam, Friday afternoon.
The fall timetable, listing all
courses and their hours will be

release this semester, Williams
said.
However, a reminder sheet con
taining the alphabetical schedule
win be sent along with the offi
cial student transcripts to aU stu
dents at the end of this semester,
Williams said.
Graduate students must have

Graduate School as well as that
of their adviser. Special students

Centennial...
Sparks Welcomed
By Eager Students
“Watch for the Sparks” was the students’ spontaneous
and light-hearted welcome for Dr. Edwin Earle Sparks, who
began his duties as President May 11, 1908.
Two days after President Sparks’ arrival on campus, each
school of the College was represented with a float portraying
its activities, but perhaps the one
that most caught the public fancy
was that of the engineers. It
carried hot-air engines belching
fire and smoke under a big sign:
“Watch for the Sparks.”
The sign was a forecast of the
future, for in the years that fol
lowed, those who “watched for
the sparks” could find them in
the ideas of the new President
for improving the College and
expanding its services.
President Sparks’ arrival mark
ed a reparture in the relation
ship between the President and
his students. With the advent of
Dr. Sparks, the president of the
College became “prexy” to all the
students
'Poor Boy' Story
Like most of his seven prede
cessors as president of the Col
lege, President Sparks’ story was
that of the poor boy who worked
his way through school and col
lege. But unlike most of them he
seemed to have taken himself less
seriously and to be less inclined
to expressing himself in moral
platitudes.
He was reportedly expelled
from the strict Ohio Wesleyan
University, either for smoking or
for his part in a banned May Day
parade poking fun at the school’s
administration.
President Sparks attended high
school in London, Ohio, and in
the fall of 1879 he entered Ohio
Weslyan University. After a year
he transferred to Ohio State Uni
versity and earned his tuition and
living expenses reporting news
for the Ohio State Journal and
working pj a hook store.
Becomes Principal
In 1890, President Sparks was
invited by President George W.
Atherton of the University to be
come principal of the school’s
preparatory department.
In a statement of his educa
tional policy President Sparks
demanded that the College be
kept before the people. He per
sonally did more than his share
in carrying the College to the
people.

SATURDAY. MAY 14. 1955
Probably President Sparks*
greatest achievement in extend
ing the services of the College
beyond the borders of the cam
pus was his building up of the
extension division.
Another aspect of the broaden
ing service of the College was the
establishment of the first sum
mer session in 1910. The first sum
mer session had an enrollment
of 146 students; at the end of
President Sparks’ tenure, the en
rollment had grown to 1045.
Dr. Sparks, however, was not
one to sacrifice scholastic stand
ards for numbers'. One of his fa
vorite jokes was, “Let us make
scholarship one of the major col
lege sports,” but he seriously
held to a statement in his initial
outline of policy that “additional
numbers of students, without a
fixed standard of scholarship, are
no permanent value educational
ly.”
During World War I, President
Sparks’ efforts to put all the Col
lege’s facilities to the services of
the nation during the war were
a severe strain. He suffered a
nervous breakdown, and the
Board of Trustees granted him a
year’s leave of absence. At the
end of two months, Dr. Sparks
decided that he could not resume
the duties of heading the insti
tution. The board accepted his
resignation in January 1920. He
was asked to remain on campus
as a lecturer on American history.
Correction
Last night Ronald Griffes, pre*
ident of Alpha Chi Rho, said thst
he did not know where a student
who had stolen articles from hjis
fraternity had become intoxicat
ed before the thefts occurred.
Griffes further stated that aAy
stories to the contrary were ru
mors.
It was incorrectly reported in
yesterday’s Daily Collegian that
Griffes thought the same student
had become inebriated at Alpha
Chi Sigma.
