Gutenberg Celebration
Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach showin~ his first edition of the Bay Psalm Book to Dr. Ogilby and three lineal descendants of the :.1en who prepared it. Left to right: Dr. Rosenbach, President Ogilby, William G. Mather, Professor Herbert Weld and John Eliot.
One of the most important days in the history of Trinity College was November 3rd when a special 路service was held in the Chapel to commemorate the SOOth anniversary of printing. With ritual befitting the occasion, che service was conducted from original copies of the Gutenberg Bible and the Bay Psalm Book. It was a fitting climax to the series of nation-wide celebrations which began last January at Columbia University. Following President Ogilby's invocation, Dr. :\. S. W. Rosenbach presented a copy of the Bay Psalm Book to Mr. William G . Mather, a lineal descendant of Richard Mather its editor and chief compiler. Mr. Mather then gave the Book to Dr. Ogilby who began the ceremony of lining out the verses half a stanza at a time. The process of alternate lining and singing continued thoroughout the First Psalm. The first volume of the Gutenberg Bible, with a fanfare of trumpets, was brought from the Sacristy to the hancel and down to the Lectern. Professor Edward K. Rand of Harvard read from
its pages. During the removal of the volume a hymn was sung from Day's Psalter of 1562. Then Professor Charles G. Osgood of Princeton read from the second volume of the Bible. Mr. Richardson Wright '10, who gave the address of the day, spoke on the history of books, their aesthetic qualities and their significance in character building. Seated near the choir stalls were William G. Mather of Cleveland, Professor Herbert Weld of Cornell and John Eliot of Clinton, Connecticut, descendants of the co-authors of the Bay Psalm Book. This book and the two volumes of the Gutenberg Bible were lent to the College for the occasion by Dr. Rosenbach and Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan respectively. l\.Jargaret B. Stillwell, curator of the Annmary Brown Memorial in Providence wrote in the New York Herald Tribune that such an experience as she had at this service was one of those rare times when "those who are present at a ceremony realize even as it progresses that history is in process of being made." 3

Trinity College Ambulance
Louis Schuler
Professor Perkins
The students of the College, under the informal leadership of William G. Wendell, Instructor in French, are endeavoring to raise in various ways the sum of $1350.00 for an ambulance to be given to the British American Ambulance Corps which has already equipped over 250 of these vehicles. The cost of the ambulance is $1050.00 with full equipment. The additional $300.00 is to be placed at the disposal of the British Red Cross to keep it in the field one year. In the case of an ambulance coming from one group of donors, a plaque is attached to it showing it is a single gift. With the approval of the Senate a campaign was started by which contributors buttons were sold to undergraduates and faculty members for one dollar each. In addition Mark Rainsford '41 an artist of considerable talent, has undertaken to make portrait sketches of crayon or charcoal which are sold to the sitters at moderate pricesten to twenty-five dollars - considering how admirable are both the likeness and the technique. (See reproductions above.) The fund has been further augmented by the proceeds of two concerts: an Organ Recital by Joseph Bonnet, famous French organist; and a Theremin and Organ Recital by Madame Lucie Rosen and Prof. Clarence Watters.
The fund is now approaching $800 and it is hoped that the balance can be raised from proceeds from the Jesters' play. They are presenting Ten Nights in a Barroom at the Avery Memorial Tuesday Dec. 17 and Thursday Dec. 19 at 8:15. The Senate has underwritten the expense of the performance so that every dollar received from the sale of tickets will go to the Ambulance Fund. Alumni will find this an evening of full enjoyment as well as one devoted to a noble cause. Trinity College Jesters Hartford, Connecticut.

Judge Buffington's Address Dedication of Truby Pew End We have gathered on the Trinity College Campus at this commencement season when joy reigns supreme - joy of the assembled friends of graduating men over the accomplishments of their collegiate courses and hope for the future of these young folks who leave these quiet, educational surroundings and enter on the busy sphere of life's work. But I venture the thought that there is a minor strain in every university and college commencement season in the Country, for in each of them there are some students who have passed the River of Death in the midst of their collegiate course. Such was the fact with reference to Joseph l\1osgrove Truby, in memory of whom this beautiful pew-end is now dedicated. Young Truby came from my home town, a small community where he was known by all his fellow townsmen. His successful course at school, his industry, his modesty, his unusual ability, his kindly ways and his friendship had commended themselves to the town folk. He entered Trinity in the Fall of 1879 and his friends looked forward with great pride to what they felt ~路ould be his accomplishments in collegiate life. He at once attracted the attention of Dr. "Sammie" Hart, the then professor of Latin, and it almost seems as though he had really adopted young Truby as his son. In point of fact, ''Sammie" Hart had no children of his own, and his great heart went out to, and made a son of, every Trinity man. I always felt that he had it in mind to teach young Truby his much loved Latin tongue and that Dr. Hart hoped in time to make him his successor. But the boy was stricken down with a mortal disease that in a few days, indeed in a few hours, ended his life. Last year when it was suggested to one of his aunts that the College would be pleased if she would place a memorial pew-end in this glorious chapel, she at once signified her pleasure in doing so. And so it came about that sixty-odd years after his death, the memory of this brilliant young student was perpetuated in this beautiful JWw-end whi ch is now unveiled, but which his aunt did not live to see.
The artist carver has happily seized on a real picture in oak which will perpetuate the story of the death, during hi college course, of a student which. as I have said, occurs in hundreds of instutitions of learning all over the Country. The major figure, as you will observe, is the student seated at a desk with an open book before him . On the right side of the desk stands an hourglass whose sands are nearly run, and on the left a candle burned to the socket but all unknown to the student. Before him, in heraldic armor, stands the inexorable Angel of Death with outstretched wings, who lays his hands on the student, typifying his early death . In the finial above with outstretched wings, is the eagle, signifying eternity. At the base is a figure of St. Acca, the patron of British learning, who was a contemporary and friend of the Venerable Bede. It is a touching thing that in this memorial this young student is now remembered after these manyeven more than three score-years. ORGAN RECITALS
On October 10, M. Joseph Bonnet of Paris, recognized as one of the two greatest living organists in the world, played a brilliant recital before a large audience of students and Hartford music lovers. On the four Monday evenings in November the following organists played: Grover J. Oberle, New York; Harold Fried ell, New York, Paul Callaway, Washington, and Luther Noss, Yale University. \VOOUWARD

Campus Notes THE FRESHM AN C LASS
DEFENSE PROGRAMS
The Class of 1944 is the first Freshman Class in years to have a numerical balance in favor of resident students. This happy situation was made possible through the generosity of those Trinity Alumni and friends who contributed to the new dormitories, Goodwin and Woodward.
Trinity is doing its part in connection with the ·National Defense Program. At a meeting of the student body September 20 Dr. Ogilby outlined Trinity's plans to correlate college training with the national program of defense. He said that it would be an important step if all co~lege studdents would obtain drivers' licenses so as to be better prepared in the event they are called for military service to drive army automobiles or tanks.
The following members of the class are sons of Alumni: Edward W. Dexter Richard H . MacGuyer Reuel F. Stratton Stewart S. Barthlemess Peter A. Sage Charles J. Harriman, Jr.
At the same meeting the President spoke of the courses at the. college which would be offered in army sanitation, radio communication and similar engineering subjects, as well as ground school and flying courses.
Freshmen have been pledged to fraternities as follows : Delta Psi - 15 Alpha Chi Rho - 9 Alpha Delta Phi - 8 Sigma Nu - 15 Delta Kappa Epsilon - 12 Psi Upsilon- 16 Delta Phi - 5 • Alpha Tau Kappa - 2 Commons Club - 9
To give the student a better knowledge of the need for integration in all fields for national defense, a series of talks on various aspects of defense was arranged. These talks are given by experts Tuesday evenings. To date the speakers and their subjects have been: Colonel Clarence W. Seymour on "Mechanized Warfare"; Mr. H . A. Stevens and Mr. Carlton Nelson '39 of Colt's Patent Fire Arms Mfg. Company, Inc. on "The Manufacture of Machine Guns."; Commander Robert H . Barnes USN of the U. S. Submarine Base in New London on "The Development of the Submarine"; Mr. Philip B. Gale, President of the Standard Screw Machine Company, on "Fuses"; Mr. S. B. Williams, editor of the Electrical World, on "Power in National Defense"; Mr .H. B. Dill, special agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation·, on "Protection Against Subversive Activities."
With keen competition Samuel B. Corliss of Central High School, Philadelphia, won the Converse Schola rship of $500. The class in general shows average scholastic ability. The Freshman football squad of forty swept through the season undefeated with twenty-four men playing in games. They defeated Wesleyan 27-6, Suffield 12-0, Amherst 19- 0. The Suffield and Amherst teams had been undefeated. When Dr. Jaquith was appointed Dean of Freshman last spring he immediately made provision for the enlargement of the Board of Counsellors to cover all Freshman whether or not they show signs of needing special guidance. The Board of Freshmen Advisers, as it is now called, consists of thirteen members of the faculty who take on the average fourteen men each for weekly conferences. Problems regarding schedules, extra-curricular activities, living and study conditions, and methods and hours of study are thoroughly discussed . Dr. William Helmbold , Chairman of the Committee on Registration in Course, and Coach Daniel Jessee, representing the Physical Education Department, meet with the Advisers for consultation .
In addition to this a course is being offered by Professor Doolittle as Civil Engineering 1, which fulfills the requirements for the Civil Aeronautics Authority as a course in ground flying. They meet part of the time with Professor Doolittle at the College and the rest of the time at Brainard Field where the eleven who have passed their medical examination fly as members of the Civil Aeronautical Association. 8

NAUGATUCK VALLEY
Through the efficient.services of George Mackie, '31 a summary of Dr. Jaquith's talk on Albania was sent out over A. P. wires and consequently printed in many newspapers.
President Bertram Bailey called a meeting of the Naugatuck Valley Association for November 13th at the Hotel Elton in Waterbury.
According to the A.P. dispatch, Dr. Jaquith said "Nobody but a fool, unless he were under severe pressure or unless he expected to conduct a successful blitzkrieg in a week's time, would start a campaign agains. Greece from Albania in mid-October."
Brief talks were given by Mr. John P. Elton on the good old days, by Freshman Coach Ralph Erickson on the undefeated team, by Coach Joe Clarke on scouting, and by Alumni Secretary Tom Wadlow on a proposed plan for regional scholarships. There were moving pictures of several recent games.
Recounting experiences as a former director of Near East Relief, he went on to say the winter in the mountainous region on the AlbanianGreek frontier was considerably more severe than in northern New England, making the mountains virtually impassable from November to early March. He said, too, that the prowess of the Greek Army had been very much under estimated and predicted that it would prove "very annoying to the Italians for some time to come."
Although a few regulars were unable to attend, there was a happy little gathering full of the best Trinity spirit. The following braved the stormy night: John P. Elton '88 Arthur Lake '08 Karl W. Hallden '09 Harold T. Slattery '11 Bertram B. Bailey '15 Nathan M. Pierpont '16 Paul E. Fenton '17 Ellery A. Wilcox '17

Professor Odell Shepard, Lieutenant-Governor elect, was the principal speaker. He spoke very effectively on the benefits of organized sport and strong rivalry. Dr. Ogilby and jack Blott, Wesleyan football coach, also spoke, and a few Alumni and members of the press were called on for a few words. There were moving pictures of recent games shown to the ninety-nine who attended the meeting. It is. believed that the tribute paid Mr. Blott the night before the game between two old rivals was without precedent . jack, as he is called even by Trinity men, has been one of the most popular of rival coaches.

Letters in Guatemala City except cinemas and restaurants where one may dance while eating. This is a refreshing contrast with the brawling cantinas of Panama. There were no bull-fights or cock-fights, which one would except in LatinAmerican countries. Sunday morning we drove some two hundred miles to the sacred Mayan city of Chichecastenango on a broad, winding road, whose every curve provided a separate thrill, negotiated at extreme speed by our taciturn Indian driver. Many ravines dropped sheer from the road for hundreds of feet. Along the road trudged hundreds of Indians at their habitual dog-trot. Many were cargadores, travelling endless miles under burdens of pottery, tile, vegetables, fruits, and miscellaneous sundries that frequently nearly concealed the bearer. Each tribe has a distinct hand woven costume of great beauty much on the order of the clan plaids of Scotland. Indian shacks and fincas dotted the hillsides. Some maize was growing on nearly vertical slopes. Indian trails ran in straight lines regardless of depression or -elevadon. Water is scarce and obtained in jars or ollas from commul)ity wells. The females, large and small, carry these jars balanced gracefully on their heads. At the wells it is not unusual to see people filling jars, laundering, bathing, a nd animals drinking. We arrived at Chichecastenango shortly before noon and wandered thru the great out-door market of nearly 10,000 assorted Indians, selling every product native to the country. In some cases sales were so small that corn and beans were counted by the piece. The Indians were worshipping at the Church, using a profusion of incense and flowers. Many of them inched their way, prone, to the altar and all were chanting in a monotone. We then drove to lovely Lake Atitian, where blue waters rest in a bowl of volcanic hills. On the lake, reached only by boat, arc several primitive villages. From Atitlan we returned to Antigua, which we had passed thru in the early morning. This was once one of the largest cities in .\merica. It was destroyed by earthquake and abandoned for Guatemala City, as a capital. The latter has since suffered an even worse earthquake itself. In Antigua are the ruins of dozens of religious edifices, very massive and often covering from ten to twenty acres of ground. Needless to say, they are of magnificent architecture. We arrived back in Guatemala City shortly after dark. Our car cost the four of us $20.00 for the entire day. Monday, 48 hours after leaving the Canal Zone, we took off for home, stopping at Managua. Here we made a thorough inspection of the military academy and saw the spot where Sandino met his end by gangster assassination. He was eliminated by met~ods used so effectively in New York and Chicago. Managua is hot, dirty and unprogressive. We landed without incident about four P.M. at France Field, having travelled 2000 miles by plane and 400 miles by auto and seen much of six countries in three days. Best regards to President Ogilby and my Trinity friends.

14th In£. Fort Wm. Davis, C.Z. 18 Oct., 1940. I note the Trinity football games in the New York Times some two weeks after they occur. Have just read of the victory over Vermont. :\pparently you arc headed for a successful season. Bravo! I am under orders to report to the 9th Division, Fort Bragg, ·.C., landing at Charleston, S.C., about Nov., 24. Previous orders to California and to Albany, N.Y. were revoked. Am still doing engineering work, including liaison work with the Third Set Of Locks. We arc fn•quently amused about the various allusions to the Canal in l'.S. publications and the frequent misinformation conveyed. To us the Canal becomes a routine and humdrum matter of work and responsibility. We see ships of all nations, by dozens and hundreds. Occasionally there is somethin g of unusual interest such a:s the Byrd Expedition, warships, refugee ships, prizes of war, dry docks or Chinese junks. So far there . is no apparent decrease in British shipping. The same boats adhere to their regular schedules. . I made an a non-stop flight to Guatemala City. by B-18 bomber in April. We passed over the six Central American republics and flew lOOO miles in six hours. (The Pan-American clipper flies the round trip from Miami in the hours of daylight of a single day.) We flew across Gatun Lake and generall.y up the Pacific coast. It was all intensely interesting. We passed oyer Lake Managua and the volcanic chain of icaragua and Salvador, commencing with Mt. M~mbotombo. We flew low and circled the erupting vents of active volcanoes observing their craters and molten discharge. Vast areas of jungle are scarred by the lava and hot debris and gasses. Mt. Tellico was the most active. Just before crossing the Gulf of Fonseca to Salvador was beautiful Mt. Caseguina with a cobalt lake thousands of feet down in its interior. We spent some time circling low and marvelling at this inaccessible gem of nature. The ceiling was high near Guatemala City. Mts. Amatitlan, Acatenango and Fuego, all approaching 13,000 feet were obscured, except for their peaks, which sat like islands on the white fleeces of the cloud platform. We finally found a hole and dove thru to a perfect landing at the splendid Guatemala airport. Guatemala is a lovely country with a magnificent, modern capital and an average temperature in the low 70s. It was necessary to wear a top-coat in the early morning. There are wide modern streets, numerous magnificent buildings, and a swarming population which is mainly Indian. Indians in tribal costume are everywhere. Soldiers also abound. The country is nearly 100% Indian. The natives are very industrious and their handwork, particularly textiles, is artistic and fascinating. Flowers were abundant. We purchased armfuls of roses, carnations and gladiolas for twenty-five cents. There is no night life
Sincerely, Charles T. Senay, Lt. Co., 14th In£.
