When Ohio Wesleyan University,
Delaware, Ohio, holds its eighty
fifth commencement exercises on
June 18th, it will graduate student
from Kent county, w. Smith Chism,
of Houston. Although Ohio Wesley
an, a university of 1000 students, is
rated as third among the schools of
it's size in the United States, in
scholarship and athletics Chism is
the only student attending the
school from the State of Delaware.
Prior to his entering Ohio Wesleyan,
Chism attended Milford High School
and later entered Wesley Collegiate
Institute, where he distinguished
himself in athletics, and graduated
with honors in 1927, from the Jun
ior College department. Since en-
tering Ohio Wesleyan, as junior
in 1927, he has made mark for
himself, seldom attained by one in
only two years. Although he has
taken a very active part in college
athletics, he has maintained a high
scholastic standing and will gradu-
ate, in June, with honors. In ad-
dition to this, he is an active mem
ber of the Singers Club of the
school, one of the three musical or
ganizations of mixed voices in col
leges of the United States. The
club has appeared on the concert
stage 55 times this year in five diff
ferent states, and in April spent
two weeks in Washington, D. c.,
where several of it's programs were
broadcasted. Chism has been
awarded the Taylor Fellowship for
1929, from Ohio Wesleyan, which he
will use in graduate work at Har-
ward University and Boston School
of Theology next year. After com
pleting his graduate course of
study, Chism expects to enter the
ministry of the Methodist Episcopal
Church..
