The administration is again indebted to the Alumni for help to enable Seniors to clear their indebtedness and graduate, by loans from the Alumni Fund. Although a few of the men granted such loans are delinquent, our experience in this field compares favorably with that of other colleges.

I close this report with a request to the Alumni of Trinity College to take up a task begun by your older brothers sixty years ago. The other day I inspected in the Old North Cemetery the grave. of Professor Jim, the first janitor of Trinity College. The inscription on his tombstone reads as follows: Faithful Over a Few Things IN MEMORY OF JAMES WILLIAMS BORN AUGUST 3, 1788 DIED MAY 20, 1878 FOR MORE THAN FORTY YEARS JANITOR OF TRINITY COLLEGE Erected by the Alumni This tombstone was cut out of Portland Brownstone, which has been found a very serviceable stone provided it is laid on its natural bed. When, however, a s1ab of it is set upright, it begins to flake off and crack. In the case of this tombstone to Professor Jim, a large split has appeared, and we are afraid that the frost and ice of another winter may complete the disintegration of the stone.

Accordingly, I am asking of Trinity College to put up a new stone to the memory of James Williams, the first of a group of loyal servants to this College.

It is estimated that the cost of a permanent granite stone will be $150. If we do this job well, no future alumni group will have to do it again.

Report Of The Alumni Secretary June 17, During the college yeqr 1938-1939 there have been 13 active Alumni Asso- 路 ciations: Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Hartford, Naugatuck Valley, New Haven, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Providence, Rochester, Springfield, and Washington. Five of these associations were either revived or created this year.

In every case it was agreed that the meetings were worth while from the viewpoint of the Alumni and from the viewpoint of the College. A number of prospective students were interested in the College as a result of Alumni meetings. In this aspect the Rochester Association led all the others.

College publicity has been carried on as usual with the help of George Smith, an undergraduate, who has had charge of this work. In addition there has been a series of radio program made possible through the cooperation of the Faculty and undergraduates. During the first half of the college year these programs were presented three times a week for 15 minutes in the evening, and later were presented every Sunday evening from 8 to 9 always over station WTHT. Three Alumni Issues of the Tripod have been sent to all Alumni, and late in May we published a trial number of the Trinity College Alumni News. Because there have been many complimentary notes praising our first attempt to establish an alumni magazine, the Alumni Fund Council has voted to have the Alumm News printed in three issues next year, the first to reach all Trinity men shortly before the Wesleyan Football Game.

Some time ago we stated that by 1939 the Alumni Fund should have 500 donors.

It is therefore a pleasure to announce that we have received contributions from 539 Alumni for the Fund, nearly 100 more than last year's record of 444路 5

1939 Major FrankL. Wilcox, 'So, Mr. Lawson Purdy, '84, and Colonel W. E. A. Bulkeley, 'go again have perfect records as Class Agents. Their initiative has been a fine example as proven by the fact that the Rev. Herman L. Lonsdale, '86 and the Rev. Wiiliam A. Beardsley, '87 have also led their classes to one hundred percent records this year. So many Class Agents have shown vast improvement this season that it is impossible to give them all the praise they deserve at this time. In the fall, however, complete statistics regarding the Alumni Fund will be sent to all Alumni.

In 1937-38 there were five Alumni who gave $100 each to the Fund. In spite of the fact that two of these were unable to give so generously again this year, there are seven one hundred dollar donors to the 1938-39 Fund.

The Class of 1913 Memorial Gateway has given other classes interest in carrying out special projects in cooperation with the Alumni Fund. The Class of 1918 has already started planning for a twenty-fifth reunion gift, and two other classes have recently sought information regarding special projects. It is also appropriate to mention at this time that Robert S. Morris, '16 has recently donated a beautiful silver cup for interfraternity singing contests, and that James Porteus, 'I I has turned over to the Alumni Endowment Fund a paid up insurance policy, both as individual projects through the Alumni Fund. There are twelve Alumni who have been given credit as contributors because they are paying annual premiums on insurance policies in favor of the College, and in addition the Class of '38, looking far ahead, has just made its second annual payment on an insurance policy in view of making a substantial gift to the College at their twenty-fifth reunion.

Comtnencement Speaker there would be a war, Dr. Benes did not say directly, but he did say that the democracies must be prepared to fight for their ideals as they had fought for them many times before. No doubt was left in the minds of the listeners as to Dr. Benes' main purpose in life. He said that he stood behind democracy, would always stand behind democracy and defend it to the end of his life. In closing, Dr. Benes said that he believed democracy would triumph over dictatorship, and soon there would again be a new period of freedom and independence for his country, Czechoslovakia.

The usual commencement crowd was augmented greatly by a large number of Dr. Benes' countrymen in their native costume. After giving his address to the graduating class, Dr. Benes spoke in his native tongue from the outdoor pulpit, giving his countryinen encouraging words about the future of Czechoslovakia.

Dr. Edouard Benes, former President of Czechoslovakia, and present professor at the University of Chicago, delivered the open air address at the I 13th Commencement on June I 8, I 939 in front of Northam Towers. Dr. Benes made his address timely by describing the history of the group of states of which Czechoslovakia was a small part. His predictions of the future of Europe were very general. He said that soon a stand would have to be made to save the world from totalitarianism because Europe could no longer continue in its present state of chaos which was draining its energies.

Dr. Benes believes that after this crisis is over, whether it be war or peace, a new and better organization would be set up in Europe along the lines of a federal Europe. According to this famous statesman, a new League of Nations will be set up, one which will be much better than the present League. Whether or not

Football Prospects Bright

jESSEE

MuGFORD

KRAMER

RIHL

Coaches Jessee and Clarke are well pleased with the small but powerful squad which returned for practice September 11. Dan Jessee plans to have two backfields to share the burden of the offense. There will also be a capable substitute for every lineman thus making it possible to relieve the first string men without appreciably weakening the team.

Dan Jessee states that the cooperation of the Alumni is an important factor in the building of a successful team. He is especially pleased with the flood lights which will enable him to hold practice beyond 5 o'clock during late fall afternoons.

Losses by graduation in June were comparatively few: Captain J. Alexander, end; G. V. Hamilton, center; P. Harris and J. Wilcox, guards; E. Morris and A. Driggs, backs.

There is now keen competition for every position and it is likely that the starting lineup cannot be picked until a Jay or two before the opening game.

RYAN

CLARKE

The following are sure to see action during the season: Centers- Jack Carey, Captain, and Frank Fasi. GuardsDick Lindner and Stan Alexander, both lettermen, will be pressed hard for their positions by AI Will (Captain of the Freshman team last year), Jacy, and Wallace. Tackles - Three lettermen, Dimling, Mills, and Thomsen; Ciardi, an experienced reserve; and Viering, one of the strongholds of the undefeated Freshman team last year. Ends- Kelly and Hopkins, lettermen; Randall, who saw a good deal of service last year, is likely to forge his way in to the opening line-up; Biedler and Hanley. BackfieldOf the four lettermen, Rihl, Ryan, Knurek, and Walsh, the first two are the only ones who are likely to be in the opening line-up. Former Freshman stars, Mugford, Kramer, and Fresher may do most of the ball carrying. Mugford showed much ability as a broken field runner last year on the Frc hman team, while Kramer excelled in blocking and line plunging.

News From The Campus The Trustees of Trinity College announced in June the election of Jerome P. Webster, '10 as Alumni Trustee for a period of three years. At the same time announcement was made of the reappointment of Robert Morris, '16 as Senior Fellow; and the appointment of A. Henry Moses, '28, as Senior Fellow, both for a three year term .

According to the will of the late Albert Church Hamlin, '87, filed for probate in Pasadena, Calif., on May 23, 1939, Trinity College will receive $so,ooo. The bequest will be made after the death of his widow, Eva S. Hamlin. Other bequests include $10,000 to the National Honorary Fraternity of Phi Beta Kappa, $10,000 to the Phi Kappa Chapter of Alpha Delta Phi at Trinity, and $20,000 to Keuka College, Keuka, N.Y., to . establish a scholarship in Mrs. Hamlin's memory.

Mr. Hamlin had a special interest in Trinity college as shown by his many generous gifts including a donation of $1 ,ooo for the Beckwith Memorial Window in the College Chapel. Mr. Hamlin died in Pasadena on May 17, after a four months illness. Besides his widow, he left his brother, George N. Hamlin, '91.

This year's Freshman class will be one of the largest in the history of the college, with about 190 students. Of these, approximately 106 will live at the college, and 84 will be day students. Two were forced to drop out because of the European situation. One of the boys is an Austrian who had been at school in Japan. He came across the Pacific, but upon reaching Vancouver, B.C., he found that no :r:nore visas were being issued to Germans for the U.S. The other was a Swiss who wrote to say that because of the trouble abroad, he found it impossible to come to school at Trinity this year. The Class of '43 includes men from eighteen states.

During the summer months much work has been going on in the dormitories, on the campus itself, and on college property in general. One of the hardest jobs undertaken was that of replacing the old wooden stairway in Northam Towers with a new steel and cement, completely fire-proof stairway. The top floor rooms in Middle Jarvis . and Middle Seabury have been partitioned off to make one double and two single rooms. The boys in Jarvis and Seabury will probably be elated over the fact that when they turn the hot water on to take a shower, they will get hot water. All the old pipes have been taken out and new ones put in under the cellar floors. An old custom regarding these pipes made it necessary to re;. move sixty-three years' accumulation of old pipe, which amounted to about ten tons of pipe worth $30 to the junk man.

Continuing last year's work of insulating rooms, the rrien put rock wool in the first two sections of Jarvis in the top flo~r rooms. In the varsity shower room n Alumni Hall old piping has been replac d to permit better circulation, and the whole room has been painted white. The new Varsity practice football field was given a covering of one hundred cubic yards of peat moss, making the field (according to football players and coach Jesse) "just like a feather bed". Much new furniture has been purchased, including: new chairs for the Economics Room; steel desks, beds, and bureaus, which will be used in the new Senior Dorm and on campus. For the first time in the history of the college, the basement corridor in Boardman Hall has been painted, much to the satisfaction of Prof. Bissonnette.

In the swimming pool building:, the filters, with their 300 cu. ft. of sand and gravel, were completely reconditioned for the first time. The north organic lab in the new Chemistry building was painted.

NEw PHI Psi CHAPTER HousE oF ALPHA CHI RHo

The Phi Psi Chapter of Alpha Chi Rho purchased the Buell house at I 14 Vernon Street for use as a resident chapter house. The new piace will accommodate sixteen men. The alumni have donated their services, physical, mental, and financial, toward this new enterprise. Sydney D. Pinney, '18, Alumni Treasurer of the fraternity, was the head of the committee that did the work for the buying and furnishing of the house.

All the masonry and copmg on the Northam Towers were painted, a very costly undertaking. The dining hall was the recipient of one dozen new folding banquet tables.

The College recently purchased the property at the corner of Vernon and Summit Streets. At present th'is land will be used by the Geology Department for the study of rock formations.

The old Alpha Chi lplo house at 84 Vernon Street is to be used as a Senior Dormitory by the College. The house will be used as a dorm for about fifteen men and a professor, Mr. Norbert Coe, formerly of Amherst, who will be an Assistant in the English Department. It was necessary for the College to take over this property because of the large number of resident students this year .

Arthur Lynn Westphal of Wayne, Ill., formerly of Hartford, Conn., general Sales Manager of Ditto Inc.. manufacturers of duplicating machines, died July 5, 1939 at the Damariscotta Hospital, Damariscotta, Maine. Mr. Westphal was president of the Chicago Trinity Alumni Association.
