"MOO.NSHOOTER" ...

JAmerican Education) 1958 Alumni magazine editors have long felt their failure to relate the true story of American higher education in all its aspects. We have felt frustrated in any attempt as individual editors to portray the vast scope of education which, now more than ever, is in a state of flux.

Fourteen editors of some of the outstanding alumni magazines in the country have joined forces to focus on the problems of American Education, 1958. These men, all members of the American Alumni Council in which Trinity has membership, have received the encouragement and help of many other editors across the country.

After a year of work and planning the editors have "put their project to bed." Moonshooter, as it has been so aptly named, will be off the press and will appear as a special section in the April issue of this mag;tzine. This special supplement is the first cooperative effort to tell the story of American higher education in a dramatic and panoramic way.

In 32 pages of pictures and text, the supplement will present the immense diversity of higher education in its variety of objectives, its problems, its restlessness, and its new approaches.

The text has been written by outstanding men and one of the country's leading photographers, Erich Hartmann of Magnum, has taken the pictures . The supplement will appear in more than 150 alumni magazines whose combined circulation is 1,300,000.

Letters to the Editor Dear Sir: Congratulations to editors on new Bulletin! Much more interesting and readable than old one. Easier to file away tl1an old, bulky newspaper. Also enjoy Alumni notes, Class news ( et al.) included in one magazine ...

Gus STEWART '50 Dear Sir: I have just been glancing tluough the last number of the Bulletin. The thought occurs to me that I ought to tell .. . the editorial board how much I enjoy receiving each issue. 'Tis a grand little publication-one of which the College may well be proud. You are all doing a splendid job. Your publication need offer no apologies to any college or university ...

Cordially, c. H . PELTON '05 Dear Sir: I invariably find that a reading of the Trinity College Bulletin affords me an opportunity for acquiring in an enjoyable manner, interesting information about cuiTent developments at Trinity. My recent reading of the January 1958 issue proved to be no exception.

Indeed I was more than mildly in-

terested to observe that a new edition of Professor Costello's Booklist had appeared. From my first acquaintance with that publication during my student days at Trinity, I have remained convinced that that Booklist stands in a class by itself.

The occasion for this present note is to enlist your good advices in advising me as to where and at what cost I might obtain a copy of this 1958 Fifth Edition of the Trinity College Booklist entitled "Books for a College Student's Reading," edited by Harry T . Costello, Professor Emeritus.

Sincerely, FREDERICK w. READ JR. '29

Booklist-$1.50 from Trinity College Public Relations Office.-Ed. The Editorial Board appreciates the many fine comments it has received concerning the new Bulletin. We print here excerpts from three recent letters.

As stated in the November issue, the Bulletin is yours. We hope that you will be prompted to contribute to this column your comments concerning articles printed in these pages, as well as your constructive criticism of the magazine.-ED.

''Doctor . . • to those yet unborn"

By Thomas Cook Brown '15

When passenger trains steamed into John Blair Barnwell's home town, Selma, Alabama, they seldom were more than three cars long. This meant that they could stand in the railway station without projecting beyond the platform.

But it was in the middle of a downtown street that John Bamwell alighted from the last car of the longest train he ever had seen when he anived at iagara Falls, N.Y., to enter DeVeaux School in September, 1909.

Immediately a cabby seized John with one hand and John's suitcase with the other and hustled him into one of the horse-drawn hacks lying in wait for tomists. In a foghorn voice the cabby enquired: "Where to? Had yom breakfast?"

To DeVeaux School, John told him, and he hadn't his breakfast.

"Giddap!" snapped the driver and before he could say "Whoa!" his horse stopped at the nearest saloon.

Mter ministering to the needs af the cabby who apparently was on a liquid diet, tl1e bartender fixed eggs and coffee for John and then did a bit of telephoning. Presently a genial gentleman in clericals walked into the saloon. The Rev. Philip Wheeler Mosher, rector of St. Peter's Chmch, Niagara Falls, and boon companion of the Rev. William Stanley Barrows (Trinity '84) head master of DeVeaux, proceeded to escort to school the youngest son of the Right Rev. Robert Woodward Barnwell (Trinity '72), late Bishop of Alabama.

Rising to the rank of Captain of Field Artillery in the Regular Army at the age of 22, John fought in France and served in the Army of Occupation in Germany. He was offered a permanent commission after ilie war, but declined.

We shall not digress to speculate on what effect this decision subsequently may have had on the military history of World War II; but we can give a sketchy idea of its effect on the history of American medicine.

Returning to civilian life in 1919, John entered the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. According to the leading article in a recent issue of ilie U. of P. Medical Bulletin, "his classmates remember him for his popularity and the effortlessness with which he twned out good work."

Effortless or not, the work was good enough to attract the attention of the noted Dr. A. N. Richards and to win the Mary Ellis Bell Prize for outstanding undergraduate medical research.

After receiving his degree of M.D. in 1923, John served as an intern at the Pennsylvania Hospital, 1923-25; as a research insbuctor, working with Dr. Richards in the Pennsylvania School of Medicine, 1925-26, and as resident and instructor, Trudeau School of Tuberculosis, Saranac Lake, 1926-28.

Degree in absentia Thus, at the age of 14, John Blair Barnwell was welcomed to the first Northern phase of his education by the driver of a horse-drawn cab, a bartender and a Doctor of Divinity.

There is no record of a comparable turnout in his honor when he entered Trinity fom years later. He had to be content with the customm·y fraternity rushing committee awaiting the ew York, ew Haven & Hartford train.

At Trinity, John managed the track team, served on the Tripod staff and was president of the Class of 1917 in his senior yem·. But this is not a chronicle of his college years.

Seekers after details can consult the Alumni Office files, the St. Anthony Hall archives or such records as may be available of the late and great Soapy Babbitt's Greek classes.

In his sophomore year, eitl1er in a moment of nostalgia for his military school days or because of his liking for horses, John enlisted in Troop B of the Connecticut National Guard cavalry. In June, 1916, at the end of his junior year, his college coursa was interrupted by service on the Mexican border; and, in April, 1917, it was terminated by decl4: ration of a state of war between the United States arid Germany. He received his B.A. degree in absentia while in service.

((As you see fit" In 1928 the University of Michigan Medical School offered Dr. Barnwell a place on its faculty and an "opportunity to set up the ideal tuberculosis unit as you see fit."

For 18 years, as associate professor of medicine and physician-in-charge of the University Hospital tuberculosis unit, he headed a great teaching center at which many leading tuberculosis specialists received their training.

into a single team that won for John Barnwell the Trudeau Medal in 1950."

The citation accompanying this award by the ational Tuberculosis Association noted his accomplishments "as a clinician, an administrator, an inspiring leader and teacher, a supporter of research and a great humanitarian who, in ~pite of his achievements and his fame, is a most humble ·individual."

In June, 1952, the year of his 35th Trinity reunion, John Barnwell was invited to make the Class Day address-just 80 years after his father had delivered the Class Day oration for the graduates of 1872. At the 1953 Commencement, his College awarded John the degree of Doctor of Science honoris causa.

In March, 1956, he was appointed assistant chief medical director of the Veterans Administration and put in charge of research and education. Under his direction, VA medical research has been expanded about 40 per cent in little more than a year, with approximately 6,000 projects under way in 173 hospitals and a large number of affiliated medical schools. These projects include basic research studies and clinical field trials in a number of new areas.

The frame of mind in which John Barnwell approaches his complex tasks and heavy responsibilities is revealed in a paper on "Research and Education in the Medical World Today" which he read before a professional society in New York last Summer. In this he described "science or the search for truth" as "the most universal of all religions, knowing no barriers, national or racial" and as "akin to religion in the faith of the searcher."

Perhaps an even more illuminating glimpse of the spirit that has animated this son of Trinity College in a life work dedicated to the service of humanity can be found in another address which he made in Philadelphia last Spring: "My duties , first, last and always, are to my patient, whether that patient was, as formerly, immediately under my care or, as of now, remotely under the influence of my office. My duty as a physician, however, is not limited to this patient today but to this patient's children and his children's children, even those yet unborn."

Of John Bamwell's work at Ann Arbor the Pennsylvania Medical Bulletin says: "His scholarly and critical analyses of his patients, in which he gave meticulous attention to detail and was uncompromising in his insistence on the welfare of the patient, left a deep impression on those who worked with him and was the foundation on which was to rest his later work. During the years at Michigan, Dr. Barnwell worked closely with Dr. John Alexander, the outstanding thoracic .· surgeon. Together they ran what has been described as_ '· the 'prize teaching program for tuberculosis in the entire country.'"

When Gen. Omar N. Bradley reorganized the Veterans Administration in 1946, with Gen. Paul Hawley as his chief medical director, John Barnwell was put in charge of all VA tuberculosis hospitals, which then had 9,000 patients, about equally divided between World War I and World War II veterans. In four years the number of patients increased to about 16,000 and the number of physicians from 165 to 600. Under Dr. Barnwell's direction as chief of the tuberculosis division and as chairman of a VA-Army-Navy committee, clinical research into new drugs-notably streptomycin-was carried on with brilliant success, and care and treatment of tuberculosis reached a level in VA hospitals unequalled elsewhere in the world.

John characteristically gave the lion's share of the credit for the clinical field trials of streptomycin and other drugs to his colleague, Dr. Arthur Walker. Here again the U. of P. Medical Bulletin throws an illuminating sidelight on John Barnwell and his works: "Although he claimed that his achievements were due to a 'community of workers', it was he who was responsible for seeking and securing the help of friends and associates and it was his personal leadership that held the community together ... Arthur Walker was the rigid, exacting scientist ... Barnwell was brilliant but practical and more inclined to allow for the human element. He drew from Walker and his other associates the best they had, merely by his quiet warmth and his expectation of receiving the best ... It was this ability to weld people of many types and backgrounds

Poetry and Education

By Samuel F. Morse Having had a modest amount of experience with poets in school-and not only people who would like to be poets-1 sometimes wonder that they survive at all. But then, school is a place where the poet can read and, if he keeps his eyes open, can see about as much as he can in any other environment. It all depends on the poet. Furthermore, as W. H .

Auden has pointed out, school is often the place where the poet discovers his first and most critical audience, and where he gets his most severe and useful criticism. But the criticism comes not so often from tl1e teacher as from the poet's contemporaries; if he can survive the body blows of his friends who are up to similar projects, he has probably made the kind of start from which he will almost certainly never recover. If he really gets his momentum , he will not turn back.

Trinity is not noted for her poets, but Art is long and life is short, and in time the odds will be on the side of the

In a wise and witty inb·oduction to a recent anthology of The New Poets of England and America, Robert Frost links up poetry, maturity, education and the colleges in his own special way, and comes to the conclusion that the tension between the links has to be just right if the poeb·y is to prove strong enough to keep the chain from breaking.

He does not say very much about the relation between poetry and school, although the story goes that he began to write poems himself because one day when he came into a classroom he saw a poem that the teacher had written on the blackboard and said to himself, "I can do that." It turned out to be not "that" precisely; and of course that is what counts. The danger of making Siamese twins of poetry and school, Frost implies, is that school all too often wants to go in one direction and poetry wants to go in another.

The argument ends or can end in a draw; or else poetry gives in.

Fandel has concentrated his poetic energy in a clearly defined genre; his poems are marked by a meticulous attention to detail and structure. In the early work, Gerard Manley Hopkins is an obvious but happy influence. The later poems are freer and bolder, but nevertheless extremely carefully made. The best of them are somewhat too long to quote here, and they do not lend themselves to cutting.

Although it does not give an altogether accurate image of his finest work, then, "Is Had, Is Gone" seems to me an early poem of real skill:

poets. There was, in the earliest days, a clergyman from Salem, Massachusetts, who filled several notebooks with verses of a very odd sort and put together two or three books of his own making illustrated with drawings as odd as his verses. But these are curiosa, not poetry. And there have been in every generation of Trinity graduates, men who have written verse. The real poets, however, are of much more recent vintage. Some of them got their start in ·the Trinity Review; perhaps among the contributors to the current issues are one or two who will keep at it long enough to find an aucUence.

Among recent graduates, Duncan Stephenson, Bryan Bunch, and John Hall in the class of '57 have already discovered a way of looking at the world which is their own.

Hall and Bunch achieved their greatest fame on campus as two of the authors of Never Do Today, the musical comedy that made local history last spring. Both are to appear in Riverside Poet1·y No. 3, the annual anthology of college verse which draws its contributors from all over the country and for which the judges have been some of America's most distinguished poets. Stephenson's best work is to be found in the pages of the Trinity Review; but he is certain to be heard from before long.

The trees have lost their shade, The branches now Are weighted under unforsaking snow, And under all is summer laid Away. Land's longer etching Is dwindled, is Eradicated, and kind synthesis Of months, like the gull fetching His portion of the air, Is had, is gone.

And fwther now than days or miles is dawn, Delineating what the treetops wear.

Oblique Relation

Hyam Plutzik, who was graduated from Trinity in 1932, waited until 1949 to publish Aspects of Proteus. The book contained "Death at The Purple Rim.," which had won for its author the Yale University Prize in 1941. By almost common consent, this long blank-verse narrative of a Russian immigrant who killed a woodchuck in his garden, was the best thing in the volume. Leaner, tougher, and less literary than most of his other poems, "Death at The Purple Rim." carries itself well. William Rose Benet found it "a remarkable piece of work ..." with "humor as well as the tragic sense." Here is the key passage of the poem , the shooting of the woodchuck:

John Fandel '48 and Edward Parone '49 have written and published more than these younger men. Parone contributes now and then to The New Yorker, and as one would expect, his poems are marked by a crispness of observation and preciseness of detail. If his output is to be measured at all by the munber of his appearances, it is not great; but quantity bears only the most oblique relation to quality in any case. What Parone will do with poetry remains to be seen. Meanwhile, his quality may be suggested by two stanzas from "Home in Summer," which appeared in The ew Yorker in August 1955: 0

And the loud report-and the infinitesimal moment When shattered and startled nature hung in suspense (Time and my prey, and I and heaven and earth).

And he leaped up, and the crash of his heavy form I heard in the tall grass, but I could not see him.

Then with fear that the bullet had missed I jumped to the ground; Down the incline I slid and with long strides Hurdled the road and over the brook leaped sure . ..

The trees were heavier then, and hung lower; The streets were always just-tarred and sanded; Slow ice wagons creaked, and rusty mowers Hacked the lawns; morning clocks turned emptierhanded Into noon. ..

The poplars sparkled brighter tin-foil green; In the heat, trees of heaven let down More stars, and, longer than we have ever seen Them since, shadows of their endless arms Touched the meadows.

And a noise at my feet Made me leap back and aroused my heart to thunder.

And I heard in the tall grass an agonized tl1reshing, The groan of an inarticulate throat, the rattle Of death that had come through my hand. And my breath shortened.

And I pressed the weapon closer, closer to meAn evil thing whose only prop is his evil.

\iVell and carefully made, such poetry seems to owe something to the example of such writers as Richard Wilbur and Howard Moss. It suggests rather than delineates the scene; its irony is gentle rather than dramatic.

John Fandel, who is a little older than Parone, and who was graduated from Trinity in 1948, published his first group of poems, The Seasons' Difference, in a handsome format even before he finished college. A second pamphlet, Thorough Many Soils, appeared in 1950 under the auspices of the Bard Review , while he was a member of the faculty of otre Dame. Since then, his poems have been published in a good many magazines, most notably in Commonweal.

Most recently he received a notable award from the Poetry Society of America for his lyric, "The Bee." Like Parone, • © 1955 T h e N ew Yorker

At best, these samplings of the work of three Trinity poets can do no more than call attention to what ought to be an obvious fact: that the college and the poets at least get along. Whether the college is beholden to the poets or whether the poets are beholden to the college probably does not matter in the long nm. But Trinity is likely to be proud of some of her poets; and it may be that she will be _proudest of some whose names have not even been men' tioned here. There are, I think, some comers from among the ranks. All they need is time.

COMPETITION FOR ALL Physical Fitness and the 1.- M. Program

by Karl Kurth "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is, as an adage, more true today than ever before.

Consider the words of philosopher William James: "Even if the day ever dawns in which muscular vigor will not be needed for fighting the old heavy battle with nature, it will always be needed to furnish background for sanity, serenity and cheerfulness in life, to give moral elasticity to our dispositions, to round off the wiry edge of our fretfulness, and to make us good-humored and easy to approach."

The steadily increasing stress of constant mental pressures on our students in institutions of higher learning makes most, if not all, of these attributes highly desirable.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, aware of the prevailing pattern of sedentary habits and its inevitable end result of low physical fitness, established the President's Council on Youth Fitness and the President's Citizens Advisory Committee on Fitness of American Youth. These organizations are charged with the responsibility of establishing methods designed to improve the fitness of the youth of the nation.

The impact of these organizations has aheady been felt on the collegiate level where many institutions are re-appraising their intercollegiate, intramural, and required physical education programs.

Trinity College accepted the challenge this fall by inaugurating a new physical fitness program. This includes a testing procedure, developmental classes, and increased emphasis on physical conditioning in the intramural and required programs.

It is interesting to note that intercollegiate athletics are actually an evolution of intramural participation. There was intramural athletic competition on the Trinity campus before our students ever took part in any intercollegiate contest. During the latter part of the 19th century intercollegiate athletics gained nation-wide popularity as a direct result of the college intramural activities expanding from "within the walk" to competition between different institutions. At Trinity we provide opportunity for competitive participation at either level.

Approximately three-fifths of the students at Trinity are currently enjoying voluntary participation in the intramural program. All students who are not members of varsity teams are eligible. For scheduling purposes the entire student body is divided into intramural units . These organizations consist of fraternities, clubs, and freshman dormitory units.

There are two eight team leagues. Round robin and elimination schedules are played within the leagues in the following sports: tennis, touch football, volleyball, basketball, squash racquets, wrestling, swimming, table tennis, softball, track and field, and golf. At the completion of the scheduled contests, the first, second and third place teams in each league play off for final standings in each sport. Points are then awarded the organization toward the intramural Alumni Trophy-representing excellence in intramural competition.

50 points for being there The philosophy of "participation for the many" is fundamental in the intramural program. This is evidenced by the relative number of points awarded for proficiency compared to participation. An organization fielding a team for every scheduled contest in one sport is credited with 50 points while the team winning that activity is awarded 20 points for first place. For example, if team A wins all 7 of their touch football games and goes on to defeat the first place team in the other league they would be awarded 50 participation points in addition to 20 for first place. Team B may lose all 7 of their games but will receive 50 participation points if they play all scheduled contests. The premium is placed upon student participation. Curt Young, intramural manager of DKE, admits its lack of participation was the main reason for their failure to be a top contender in the race for the Alumni Trophy. "We have been right up there in the three major sports but fall off when it comes to the remainder of the activities," he said.

A casual passerby strolling through the campus on a fall afternoon would be very likely to find the Trinity athletic fields and courts a beehive of activity. With one quick glance at the tennis courts he would conclude instantly the singles and doubles matches were not between members of the Bantam varsity tennis team. This conclusion, however, would not be influenced in any way by the competitive spirit of the players. Judging by tl1eir effort and seriousness alone he might well think he was viewing preliminary rounds at a Davis Cup tournament. However, he would realize it was informal by1. The varied assortment of inappropriate attire-from dress bermuda shorts to well bleached marine fatigues.

2. The remarkable spread of somatotypes of human physique-from short and round to tall and slender.

3. The wide range of tennis ability-from reasonably proficient to remarkably inefficient.

If his vision were to continue eastward down the path

by Memorial Field House he would undoubtedly see Trinity's varsity and freshman football and soccer teams practicing industriously. In the background to the north three

separate intramural touch football games would be in progress with groups of enthusiastic spectators cheering on the sidelines. At these games he would witness athletic competition as hard fought and, in many instances, as closely contested as a typical intercollegiate football game.

The contests are fought with pride and determination. If either team were to complete a forward pass or score a touchdown there would be an obvious display of approval by their rooters on the sidelines. Many times during the game these cheers would be heard across the campus.

If by chance one of these contests were the final game between Psi Upsilon and Alpha Delta Phi, the cheers would be continuous throughout the contest. Prior to this game both teams had played each other three times to scoreless ties. The final game again was tie score with 20 seconds left to play and Alpha Delta Phi on Psi Upsilon's 2 yard line. On the last play of the game the gun went off and Alpha Delt failed to score. However, there was a penalty on the play against Psi U. This gave Alpha Delt another play and they went into the end zone to win the national league pennant after the game was over.

"There is more interest in the intramural program at Trinity than in any other inter-fraternity competition," Jay Elsas, Sigma Nu intramural director said. He continued, "This program contributes more to fraternity spirit than any other activity. It provides wholesome use of leisure since in addition to contributing so much to college and fraternity morale." He added proudly, "we have 100%participation in the program at Sigma u with all 39 brothers taking part."

Paul Hersh, manager of the defending intramural champions, Delta Phi, admits that organization is one of the prime factors in achieving the "Trophy of Trophies." "We require our pledges to practice daily until the season is under way. We know the abilities of our brothers and plan our rosters accordingly." Paul admitted, "Some of our men are more conscientious than others. A new pre-medical pledge who hadn't played too much touch football found out research pays off. Soon after he knew he was going to be on the house touch football team he visited the library and studied all the football books available. He wound up our leading scorer on this year's squad."

Alpha Delta Phi's manager, Phil McNairy, who incidentally has played varsity football at Trinity, is emphatic about the value of intramurals. He states, "Men who are active and contribute through intramural participation are also the ones who are active in other college and fraternity affairs. Although we did have 100% participation-44 men - I do not believe the number of men in the house is the major factor in intramural success. It is the house spirit which counts."

The preceding comments were made shortly after the fall season at which time the year-long intra-mural program is in its infancy. Assuming this year will not be an exception, the keen rivalry between the fraternities, clubs, and freshman units will gradually build up through the winter activities and come to a climax during the spring. The student intramural managers will then be able to evaluate the athletic ability of their membership, the effectiveness of their methods, and the quality of their fraternity spirit.

Unique Reunion In 25 short years the Trinity Chapel has succeeded in becoming much more than a building to many thousands of people.

It was early admired for its architectural beauty, and is continually cited as the finest piece of Gothic architecture in the cow1by But for 25 graduating classes it has been so ve1y much more: a focal point of the important experiences 路 of collegiate days.

It has weaved a singular spell, as well, over men who, with their sweat and brains and brawn, brought this structure into being. For 25 years they have re turned as a group, for a few hours, to admire their work, inspect the changes, and chiefly to reminisce. On Dec. 14 they met to celebrate their Silver Anniversary.

The Chapel Builders love to talk about their work and the little incidents that happened during construction. Their pride is always evident. The story is told, for example, of one Chapel Builder who was ill and bedded down in Hartford Hospital. From his room he could see the Chapel, and when a visitor was commiserating with him on his plight, he replied by pointing out the window and saying, "See that Chapel-l helped build that."

In celebration of its Silver An niversary the Chapel

Builders Alumni Association voted unanimously to give a gift to the Chapel, and contributions have been coming in to the committee which will meet again shortly to decide upon some special gift for the Chapel.

Yet another committee was appointed to gather as much as possible of the lore and history of the period of construction and in particular the many interesting stories about the late President Ogilby.

When the Chapel was being erected, the workers met with Dr. Ogilby each Monday morning in the Crypt Chapel for moments of quiet prayer before going to their tasks.

When they return now to their creation, they again meet in tl1e Crypt Chapel and repeat the prayer which graced their earlier work.

Following this brief service the men gathered in the Cloister to pay tribute to their fellow workers who have passed on.

The group then adjourned to Hamlin Dining Hall for the banquet. Principal speaker was President Jacobs, who told the men that "it is a signal privilege to welcome you to this 25th Annual Dinner in your honor. The meaningful service in the Crypt Chapel and in the Cloisters as well as this dinner are highlights of the College year, events to which we always look forward with the greatest enthusiasm.

"Tonight on behalf of the College for which you have done so much , as well as personally, I once more pay great and heartfelt tribute to you. The wonderful Chapel which vou erected with such love, care and skill is the more beautiful, the more noble, because you gave your hearts and your souls to it. They will always live in this splendid edifice for the worship of God Almighty, and, as such, will continue to inspire generations on generations of Trinity men. 'A thing of beauty is a joy forever.'

"My friends, it is my fervent prayer that we may for years to come be privileged together to attend these dinners."

"FOUR CLASSES OF FOOLS'' being a concise and therefore inadequate profile of a great man, Professor H. M. Dadourian, who has recently entered with undiminished vigor his eightieth year.

By Alonzo G. Grace

Jr.

'49

Many of us who finished om undergraduate work between, say, 1920 and 1952 could, after no more than hasty glance at the title of this too feeble tribute, place himself in Class IV and weave out of his own Trinity past a small part of the great whole clotl1 that is Dadomian. These few pages are little more than one man's view of a fin e teacher and a splendid intellect as he appears to him; the whole cloth can never be fully assembled, nor even if it were, could the varied fabric be properly appreciated.

The classes of the late nineteen fifties and of the sixties and beyond will, of course, know Professor Dadourian.

They will, some of them, know him personally as a vibrant man active in civic and college affairs; tl1ey will, more of them, know him indirectly as a source of intellectual excitement for their professors; they will, nearly all of them , know him as a living legend, an integral part of Trinity's history. But these young men will not know him as a teacher, and, hence, their knowledge and understanding and appreciation of this man and of what he means to our college will be secondhand, incomplete, unfull.

Similarly, although certain of the alumni who anteceded Mr. Dadourian at Trinity have come to know him well, the students who left before 1920 did not have the experience (which was not tmiversally pleasant ) of studying mathematics or physics under his stem tutorship. Those of this earlier period who did not know (or who do not know, if such there be ) Mr. Dadourian would do well to salute again the diplomas which, had fate sent us this strong man some few years earlier, might not have been theirs. In any case, the tenuous limits, 1920-1952, are set because Professor Dadourian's influence is most strongly felt by the men who were undergraduates during his tenure, and more particularly by his students.

War on math -

college catalogue and discovered or re-discovered tl1at the faculty in one of its mystical moods some years earlier had left a rather substantial loophole in the mathematics requirement. Arts students could, said the loophole, providing they were not contemplating honors at graduation, make certain substitutions for the mathematics requirement upon suitably demonstrating their inability to pass the first semester of the freshman mathematics course. In these new days when mathematics is becoming more widely understood and used by masters of disciplines beyond the physical sciences, there is little doubt iliat a certain number of those who demonstrated their inabilities have present day regrets.

But it seemed like a good idea at the time. The TripoJ claimed that 80 per cent of those in the course failed, but this estimate was somewhat high. It was very exciting for a time. Professor Dadourian re-emphasized his faith in the value of mathematical training to the educated man . The faculty agreed, in general, and the loophole was eliminated.

Students were no longer required to take mathematics; they were required to pass it, a full year's course. The Tripod took another look at the sun, and nobody read the catalogue again for a long time.

a loophole!

Whatever else may be said of him , Professor Dadourian can never be rightfully accused of making large groups of students unconb路ollably happy or even, to be quite honest, less than mildly ala1med over the prospect of a year's work in mathematics under his singular direction. That this was as true near the end of his long teaching career, as it undoubtedly was at the beginning, was rather clearly demonsb路ated during the Chrisbnas term of the academic year 1948-49.

The class of 1952 (which turned out to be an extremely good one) had arrived on campus prepared to study "the liberal arts" so that they might comer the Market gracefully, philosophically. Because of the condition of the sun spots that year the Tripod was waging its periodic war against mathematics and editorializing in defense of "men who feel that they are serving time for a crime that they didn't commit."

About this time, too, some imaginative forty-niner whose name will remain forever unknown managed to read the

Perkins in that department until he was appointed Seabury Professor of Mathematics and atural Philosophy in 1923.

He is best known to alumni, of course, as the chief dispenser of a package of logic and terror known as Mathematics 1 ab, the freshman analytic geometry and calculus course. It is not so well known, however, that although he held the chair in mathematics for nearly thirty years, he was , is, and nearly always has been a physicist and is clearly listed as such in the many directories which include him. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and his name has been starred in the editions of American Men of Science since 1921 as one of the American physicists "whose work is supposed to be most important." Professor Dadourian was one of the early appreciators of Einstein, and, by the time he reached our campus, he was well versed in the ideas of special and the then new general relativity. To later day studen ts we remark that at this time many capable physicists and mathematicians were bewildered by and skeptical of these new ideas.

Dadomian's Phvsics 3 ab was physics. It was classical mechanics using tools no more advanced than the mathematics of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and by no means all of this mathematics. The student was supposed to have mastered, more or less, the ideas and techniques he was exposed to in his first two years at Trinity. Further, he was supposed to know some little bit of physics. That was all. No new mathematical ideas were introduced in the comse. o methods so powerful that they might obscure physical ideas. Mathematics was used as a tool to the understanding of physical principles and physical principles were reduced, in large part, to a single principle, together with an angular cotmterpart and a certain number of experimental facts. The principle is called "The Action Principle" and virtually the entire comse was devoted .to the fuller understanding of this principle by solving problems with the aid of it. There were very few numerical problems, and numbers, when they appeared at all, were not substituted for general numbers until suitable discussion of the physics of the problem had been completed.

of Search

Haroutune M. Dadourian was born in Everek, Asia Minor, on December 5, 1878. He came to this cow1b:y in the fall of 1900 and, three days after his arrival, entered the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale University. Yale granted him three degrees, the last of which, the Ph.D. in Physics, was conferred in 1906. From 1903 to 1905 he was Loomis Fellow in Physics at the Yale Graduate School, and the following year he was appointed Assistant in Physics at the Sheffield Scientific School. (Of the abilities of the young Dadomian it is perhaps sufficient to note that he once retJ·ieved an examination which he had written and later had a part of it published with virtually no changes.) He stayed on at Yale, serving on the faculties of both the Sheffield Scientific School and the Graduate School until1917 when he took a position as Aeronautical Engineer with the United States Signal Corps. While with the Signal Corps he was engaged in research and development in the area of sou~d­ ranging. That is, in tJ·ying to find workable mathematical and physical ways to determine the position of an object (of a gun, for example ) from sound information alone. His conb·ibutions while with the Signal Corps were significant.

Much of the work done during that period is fundamental to the more complex modern problems of the theory of search.

It was dming his years at Yale that he formulated his rather definite ideas on analytical mechanics and, in 1913, he published a textbook on this subj~ct. The sec~nd e~i~ion of this book appeared in 1915 and this and the third ed1tion, revised , of Dadomian's Analyt-ical Mechanics were known (although often not well enough) to Class IV fools at Trinity for three decades.

It is for this work, his still not widely enough recognized contributions to the simplification of mechanics, that Professor Dadourian is remembered by that small band of souls who over the years found themselves, for reasons diverse but always outwardly rational, enrolled in Physics 3 ab.

This course, with Mr. Dadourian, was the best course I have ever had , anywhere. 0 What follows here are some minor reflections as to the great value of the course, and an account of one or two particularly vivid incidents. For those of you who beat a fast path away from analytical mechani~s to the more numerical and definitely less challenging applied mechanics and always wondered how Physic~ 3 ab came out let me tell you.

Arithmetic through Calculus*

If the author were more important, he would italicize this statement. (Author's Note)

Can you translate?

The idea of a step by step approach was sb·essed, and, whenever it was possible, a figme was drawn to aid in the translation of an English statement to a mathematical statement. After establishing what the question was, the problem was solved and discussed in great detail. It was examined from the standpoint of dimensionality, (did we have an expression in which we were equating feet and pounds?) and it was examined in its limiting cases . .(A ball filled with water, starting from rest and rolling down an inclined plane should be nothing more than a falling body if the plane were made vertical. If the plane were horizontal the ball should not roll at all. If the plane were made perfectly smooth, the ball would slide and the expression should reduce to a simpler problem already discussed.) It was made apparent, by example, that ( 1) one could learn a great deal about nature from the detailed and general examination of relatively simple problems, and ( 2) there were ways, short of experiment, in which one could find out that he was wrong. The matter of being right was another thing.

Anotl1er thing which Dadourian taught us is that one is rarely stuck on a problem. Rather he is stuck on only a part . of it, and often when one finds the part of the problem 1 • which is really b"oubling him, he finds that he is not really stuck at all. However, we do not mean to say that these things were all immediately apparent to every student who sat at the feet of this stern master. Nor, even if they were, would the problems have been much easier. The problems which Professor Dadourian assigned were tough problems and he was tougher.

I remember one day we came into his lecture room and, as a class, got stuck on one problem after another at the blackboard. Dadourian barked an order and we sat down (this is one thing we did well because at this point in the term there were plenty of seats). He then began in a quiet way to describe another method of education, that in which the college does not collect tuition from the student. Rather the student pays the instructor directly. Mr. Dadourian, becoming somewhat intense, said that if we were operating under such a system and "If you people came to me I would say, 'Take your money and go home'." We knew he meant it, but we also knew he meant all of us and that anyway we would be, if we finished his course, the best of whatever we wanted to be. He had told us that, too. "If you are going to be lawyers, this course will help to make you good lawyers. If you become doctors-," and, finally, "If you become safe crackers, you will be good safe crackers." That none of Professor Dadourian's students has ever been caught cracking a safe we submit as evidence of the truth of the above remark.

1

Mr. Dadourian's mechanics book is written so that it is the rule rather than the exception that the problems are interdependent. That is, the book is so well designed that one can not claim to have read it until he has worked the problems. Dadourian leaves as exercises many results which less formidable authors would include in the text, and usually these results are set forth in a series of problems in such a way that each problem is dependent upon one or more earlier problems. Yet, Professor Dadourian always insisted that the student be able to explain in simple English just what the problem was that he was working on no matter what had gone on before. Now, one of the lads in Physics 3 ab the year I took it (and who shall be unnamed here ) invariably, whenever we went to the blackboard, was called upon to solve a problem which was dependent at least one step back. At the command, "Explain Your Problem", he woUld begin: "Well, in the previous problem . . ."

"There is no previous probleml"-hesitation"Well-in the one before this."

"Sit down."

And we would then hear a lecture on this aspect of problem solving-on the importance of being able to describe in simple terms just what the question is. I don't think that very many of us have forgotten Mr. Dadourian's talks on this subject. His words are perhaps even more meaningful today when, in part because of recent developments in machine computation, many formally unsolvable problems in areas of social as well as physical science can be solved or partially solved if they can be stated accurately in terms which are simple enough to permit mathematical translation.

Mr. Dadourian's educational ideas and contributions have by no means been confined to higher education.

He is, in fact, very much interested in the problems in elementary and secondary education in this country. He was by far the most articulate of the panel on two recent radio discussions of some of these problems. His comments were precise and meaningful and it was clear, I believe, to the greater part of the audience that not only was his understanding of the problems of public education sound, but that he had thought about these problems for a long time and has practical answers to some of our current difficulties.

A man of Professor Dadourian's breadth obviously defies classification but it is worth noting that he is no traditionalist. He is for change, but always within the framework of the'.broad principles of freedom and excellence which he understands so well.

That Professor Dadourian is a brilliant scholar and researcher as well as a fine teacher is well known but perhaps the magnitude of his efforts would bear mention. He published results of his work on radio-active tl1oriurn in 1905 when this work was truly fundamental. During the period following World War I he did original work in the study of soft X rays and wrote widely on many other technical subjects. He has published about fifty papers in various technical journals and, in addition to his mechanics book, he is the author of an excellent trigonometry text, and of a small widely used book entitled "How to Study, How to Solve" in which he explains by essay and example his very successful approach to problem solving. His calculus text was used for many years at Trinity and he is now revising it to meet the current demand for 2-year elementary mathematics texts. He is also continuing to work on a simplification of his Analytical Mechanics. In addition to all of this, Mr. Dadourian is the author of several brochures, and of numerous articles on educational, social, economic and political questions. He is active in many local and national organizations and has been president, at one time or another, of many of these groups. Each of these many activities might justly be the subject of a full blown article.

In all of these efforts and others he is supported by his handsome wife, the striking Ruth M. Dadourian, who is a person in her own right, quite as active and outspoken on important public issues as her husband.

Not a monkey -

a gorilla!

His abilities as an experimentalist as well as a strong theorist are illusb·ated by his work of the past half century and more lightly by a story told by Professor Costello about a time many years ago when he and Professor Dadourian were driving along in a touring car which the latter owned at the time. The car began to shake and shimmy quite violently and Mr. Dadourian got out, took what Mr. Costello calls a gorilla wrench (too large for a monkey wrench) , and disappeared under the front end of the vehicle. He got behind the wheel again, but the car still behaved rather badly and the repair process was repeated, again to little avail. Finally, after a third disappearance, Mr. Dadourian returned to his place in the driver's seat and said "I think if we go fast enough, it will go sb·aight." Apparently it did, although I am not sure that Professor Costello went through with the test.

Mr. Dadourian's conb·ibutions to his students' intellectual betterment are, like Mr. Einstein's universe, finite but unbounded. All of us who studied under him, I am sure, have had the experience of seeing something more clearly years after we left the classroom because it was Dadourian who pounded it home. One simply does not stop learning from him upon leaving his presence. The image is there, and with the image are the ideas. I can remember now his looking at me in his classroom in Boardman Hall (looking at all of us, really) and saying that "iliere are four classes of fools: there are fools; there are damn fools; there are goddamn fools and .then," he would say, "there is you."

Perhaps as long as we realize that we are, at best, Class IV fools there is some hope. The hope, I somehow feel, though, burns brightest in those Class IV fools who, in retrospect, actually understand what H. M. Dadourian was talking about.

Radio Trinity Dedicated to Public Service

T echnicat director Gene Corcoran (in booth) signals Paul Campion he's "on the air."

purchased from WELl in New Haven for $1,400; the tuning of a frequency monitor, finally done in California at a cost of over $300; and the revamping of the station's quarters for the new FM set up.

Sometimes, when you hear them relate their problems, you wonder why they bother. The answer is a simple and sb路aightforward one: "It's fun."

Generally, participation on WRTC isn't considered a "proving ground" for those boys interested in professional radio. As a matter of fact, very few of the boys chose radio as a career. Healy is one of the exceptions. Last year he was an announcer with WTIC-FM atter previous service with WHIM in Providence, and after graduation in 1959 he hopes to enter the field on a full time basis.

But for most of the others, the experience of WRTC "gives them an opportunity to enjoy the fascination of radio, both from ilie technical and production points of view, without 'giving themselves' to it," Healy said.

Student interest in the station runs high, and although auditions are held for announcers, a ''real attempt is made to find a place for all the others."

On the executive board with Healy are Steve Kellogg, a Buffalo, N.Y., jtmior, who is vice president and program manager; Eugene Corcoran, Chicago senior, technical director; Paul Campion, Hartford junior, chief announcer; and George Truscott, Buffalo junior, music director.

At the present time the station is seriously short of experienced help, with about 10 men having the job of training the inexperienced freshmen and sophomores. But as the experienced staff increases, WRTC-FM hopes to offer more and more provocative programming: lectures, concerts, debates and other events, live from the College.

WRTC-FM has also offered its facilities to all the public service organizations in the Greater Hartford area. "This is not just for announcements," Healy said, "but for full length programs as well, if such programs are considered of sufficient interest to the College and the community."

The sports fan will not be forgotten, either. WRTC-FM plans to broadcast a portion of the home basketball games, and, next fall, selected football contests. 路 Healy also pointed out that, although the boys did most of the actual work of preparing WRTC-FM for its debut, much credit for the progress must go to Dr. Robert F. Kingsbury, the faculty adviser, and Samuel Edsall '49, an 'engineer with WNBC-TV, who has donated a great many hours of devoted service.

Remember the call letters: WRTC-FM. And remember the spot-89.3 on your FM dial. Listen to "The Voice of Trinity College."

The "Voice of Trinity College" has returned to the air after 20 months of silence.

The first embryonic squeak to issue from the new station in January was the culmination of months of hard work for a small but determined group of students. But the new commodity, by necessity, is radically different from Trinity radio of old.

First of all, it is WRTC-FM, at 89.3 on your FM dial.

Why FM? Up to March, 1955, Trinity housed a highly successful commercial AM station. But after a second warning from the FCC, the station was forced by the College to cease operations for broadcasting beyond its limits. Ostensibly resb路icted to the can1pus, WRTC-AM was picked up easily in Springfield, and more than one Trinity student returning from a weekend in Boston "rode the signal" all the way to the campus.

Thus Trinity's new voice is, by order of the FCC, a noncommercial, educational station, devoting most of its time to music. "But music chosen by a selective hand," says station manager Mark Healy, a Providence, R.I., junior.

W e take this to mean that the two r's-rock 'n roll-will be infrequently heard. 路 Another difference between the old and the new is the missing clack of a teletype, along with a stacatto report of the world's latest news. The new budget, said Healy, cannot quite absorb tl1e rental fee of a teletype machine from one of the wire services, as it has in the past.

The time schedule is different, too. During these first weeks of broadcasting, WRTC-FM is on the air from 3 p .m. to midnight. Later this will be increased to a noon to 1 a.m . schedule, with a distant goal of 7 to 1 a.m.

One of the biggest problems of the student venture, which seeks and receives little help outside its own membership, is money. After the station left the air in March, 1955, the students on campus interested in radio immediately set to work investigating ways and means of returning to the air '1egally." FM, used successfully at many other schools and colleges, seemed to be the answer.

By the Fall of 1956 the group had made definite progress, and negotiations with the FCC were underway. A $1,500 grant from the Student Senate was made to the station, but this sum was expended in the purchase of new equipment. Another $1 ,500 grant for the current year was made, but Healy indicated that additional funds would l?e needed once the station is on a full broadcasting schedule.

Some of the problems which had to be tackled by the boys, and which occupied a good deal of their summer vacation time, were the acquisition of an FM transmitter, finally

"Today's ceremony is taking place with the backdrop of a dramatic national atmosphere of crisis, a .situation which has our citizens aroused as they have not been for years. How timely is Trinity's current move to improve her engineering facilities, and, with that, her ability to educate engineers, within the framework of the liberal arts. In recent years, prior to the launching of Sputniks I and II, we were concerned when we heard of the Soviet advances in scientific and engineering fields. It was always, however, a matter of quantity-the Russia ns each year were graduating so many thousand more scientists and engineers than we. The thought that they might be better than, or even equal to ours, was never suggested. In fact, we were confident that our superior quality would easily offset the Soviet numbers. And, furthermore, if the competition were to be a matter of sheer numbers, it was difficult to see how a comparatively small liberal arts college with a modest department

"With quality havi ng become of such transcendent importance in our training of scientists and engineers, the modest operations of our department of engineering thereby attain a new significance. We know that we have much to offer from the standpoint of quality. From our earliest days quality has been the keynote of our educational program, and the splendid extension we are dedicating adds greatly to the quality of the facilities for the training of youth in our department of engineering. No longer do we have to argue the superiority of the engineer who has been trained at Trinity, who has mastered the background of his profession within the framework of the liberal arts.

"Industry has become convinced that the scientist or engineer must not be just a specialist in the fie ld of his concern, of his chosen endeavor, a narrow-minded, warped, anti-social person, but one who though a specialist in a particular fie ld has a mind that can operate in many fields, a person who has a balance of perspective between his own specialty and the efforts of all humanity; who has an ethical approach to that specialty and to that totality. One of the greatest scientists of any age, the late Dr. Albert Einstein, has made the point with crystal clarity: 'It is not enough to teach a

of engineering could be a factor of any real importance in the race for survival.

"What a profound change has taken place in our thinking since Sputniks I and II! Seldom do we hear any more about the numbers of scientists and engineers by which we are being outstripped. Instead, the burning question is whether Russia is now developing or will in the future develop more competent scientists than we. Our nation's basic concern currently is with the quality and not the quantity of such personnel. In this connection, I mention the recent widelypublicized suggestion that one of our leading scientists, barred for security reasons from classified government work, have his security clearance restored, simply because we could not afford to be without his services. The availability of the services of one individual scientist is thus an item of major importance, because of the unique quality of those services. '

man a specialty. Through it he may become a useful machine, but not a harmoniously developed personality. It is essential that the student acquire an understanding of and a lively feeling for values. He must acquire a vivid sense of the beautiful and the morally good . .. he must learn to understand the motives of human beings, their illusions and their sufferings, in order to acquire a proper relationship to fellow men and to the community.' This 'proper relationship' is the goal of sound education in the liberal arts, the education we seek to give our engineers.

"We realize fully the urgency of the nation's present need. Trinity is in a unique position to make a signal contribution toward the fulfillment of that need. With this new and splendid addition to our engineering plant, we will make an even more effective contribution. We thank you, Karl, from the bottom of our hearts."

Dedication Held Jan. 25 For Hallden Lab Addition A small group of men, joined by a bond of great interest in the welfare and future of Trinity, met in the Hallden Laboratory Saturday, Jan. 25, for the ribbon cutting which officially opened its latest addition.

Karl W. Hallden '09, with shears in hand, did the honors, with the Rt. Rev. Walter H. Gray, Episcopal Bishop of Connecticut; President Jacobs; and Hallden Professor of Engineering Harold]. Lockwood also taking part in the dedicatory service. Dean Arthur H. Hughes served as master of ceremonies.

At 12:45 p.m. Mr. Hallden stepped forward to the entrance of the addition, fingered the ribbon and snipped the fabric opening still another era in the study of engineering at Trinity.

Mr. Hallden has also established numerous scholarships in engineering and other fields, endowed the Hallden Professorship, and aided the College in innumerable other ways, most recent of which was his $100,000 gift to the Program of Progress to name the game room of the proposed Student Center.

Three elements

In his brief remarks Mr. Hallden spoke of the laboratory as being composed of three things: ''This building; the interior equipment which is used to teach students the use of natural laws for the benefit of mankind; and a teaching staff. We are fortunate to have here at Trinity a teaching staff of the highest calibre." In addressing the President he said, "We shall continue to work toward perfection in these three areas. This building now is yours to incorporate and dovetail into our liberal arts college to strengthen the arts of applied science."

In accepting the addition on behalf of the College, President Jacobs made significant reference to Trinity's concern with the sciences today: " ... we are deeply grateful to our wonderful friend whose unprecedented and ever increasing generosity has made this day possible, Karl W . Hallden '09, M.S. '48, and D.Sc. '55, honoris causa.

"I wonder, Karl, when due to your earlier benefactions the original Hallden Engineering Laboratory was erected in 1946, whether by the wildest stretch of your imagination you visualized what would be happening to that laboratory in the brief span of 12 years.

That new laboratory certainly was the last word in an engineering facility for a liberal arts college.

"But as subsequent events have proved, those who decided on this location where geography would not exert a restraining influence should need for further expansion be demonstrated, must have had almost divine guidance. Both in 1953, when the first major extension was added, and today, the wisdom of the selection of this original site has been clearly demonstrated. With the Hallden Engineering Laboratory having had during its relatively brief life such a dynamic history, I would not at this time attempt to peer into the future. I only say that as I look southward from here, our geography has not yet started to fence us in.

7 Alumni Speak At "Career Day" Alumni of Trinity played an important part in the Career Day held on the campus Jan. 28.

From 9:15 a.m. until 5 o'clock seniors listened to and asked questions of outstanding men in 12 leading professions, "men who voiced the cons as well as the pros of their respective livelihoods," said John F. Butler '33, who arranged the important event for the seniors.

In all, 19 men spoke to the seniors, and of these seven were alumni of the College.

Dr. Edwin N. Nilson '3 7, project engineer for Prate and Whitney Aircraft and formerly on the Trinity faculty, spoke on "Mathematics and Physics in Industry"; William K. Paynter ' 3 7, director of advertising for Connecticut General Life Insura~ce Co.; Robert L. Sind '55, account executive with Anderson & Cairns, Inc., New York; and Donn D. Wright '51, public relations assistant for Emhart Mfg. Co., all spoke on various phases of advertising.

The law as a profession was discussed by Edward ]. Butler '50 of the New Britain Trust Co. In the teaching field Appleton H. Seaverns, who received his masters from Trinity in 1950, spoke on preparatory school education. He is headmaster of Suffield Academy.

The other alumnus participating was Dr. William ]. Lahey '38, speaking on "The Medical Profession." He is director of Medical Education at St. Francis Hospital.

Seniors consider Career Day one of the most important dates on their calendar.

Along with hearing about a number of other professions, the students had the opportunity to learn the fundamentals involved in a successful interview.

Panelists for the popular "Preparation for Ir_J.terviews" session were Carlton M. Barlow, d1rector of personnel development, General D ynamics Corp.; Dudley Darling, personnel manager of Time, Inc.; and Gwynne Prosser, personnel director of Young & Rubicam, Inc. The seniors and guests enjoyed a luncheon given by President Jacobs in Goodwin Lounge.

Campus Chest Sets Record Trinity's annual Campus Chest Drive, geared to help four organizations, has reponed a record-breaking total of $4,800 collected on campus.

Trinity's 10 fraternities contributed a total of 1,965, headed by Delta Kappa Epsilon with an average of over $10 per member. The freshmen gave $780, and also won the "Ugly Man" contest by recording the greatest number of votes for their candidate, William G. Noonan of Wallingford.

Votes cost ten cents apiece, and the affair contributed 900 to the total.

The organizations which will benefit from the drive are the Student Hospital Ward in Hyderabad, India; the Trinity Foreign Student Fund; the National Scholarship Fund for Negro Students; and the Hartford Association for Retarded Children.

Tuition Rise Places Fee On "More R ealistic Basis" Tuition at Trinity College will be $1 ,050.00 per year beginning in September of 1958. The announcement that the Trustees on Saturday, January 25th, had authorized this increase was made by President Albert C. Jacobs to a meeting of the Faculty on Jan. 27.

"The increase of $250 above the present tuition figure is one step in the establishment of college fees on a more realistic basis, approximating to a greater extent what it actually costs the college to educate a student," said Dr. Jacobs in making the announcement. "Further increases are inevitable in the years to come if we are to continue to maintain high educational standards and to provide a type of instruction which 路seeks the maximum development of each individual student." Trinity is one of a number of New England colleges and universities to announce a tuition increase for the coming year.

The desire to improve salaries and perquisites in order to arcract and to retain the finest teachers and scholars as well as the ever-increasing cost of goods and services are the main factors in the current upswing in tuition rates.

"Experience at Trinity," said Dr. Jacobs, "shows that tuition fees barely cover half of what it costs the college to educate a student, excluding, of course, expenditures for room, board, books, etc. Thus, every student, regardless of his means, is in effect receiving during his college career scholarship aid totalling several thousand dollars. This has been possible not only because of benefactions made by friends of Trinity but also because of inadequate college salaries.

"In spite of this increase," Dr. Jacobs emphasized, "no student should be deterred by financial consideration from applying for admission to nor from continuing his studies at Trinity. Our program of financial aid-for which additional funds are being made available-scholarships, loans and bursary employment, is designed to make available a Trinity education for outstanding students with the will to help themselves."

"The General Fee of $ 100 which combines and replaces all other fees and which includes health insurance for our students remains unchanged. In spite of increased costs in the operation of our dormitories and in providing meals, the charges for room and board are not being altered at this time," Dr. Jacobs reported.

Exhibits Sho w Sub Deve lopment and Pietro Annigoni Paintings Two interesting exhibits have been on display in the Trinity library in recent months. The noted Anglo-Italian artist Pietro Annigoni attended a reception in December while a number of his pictures were being shown. Later, an exhibit concerning the U. S. Navy's first submarine-the路 "U.S.S. Holland"- was on display.

Mr. Annigoni came to Trinity as the guest of the Cesare Barbieri Italian Club.

Long a controversial figure as well as a controversial artist, he has most recently received public arcention for his portrait of England's Princess Margaret, and, earlier, for his portraits of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth.

Born in Milan in 1910, he studied at the Academy in Florence, but is chiefly selftaught. He maintains residences in London and Florence, and occupies himself with his portraiture and the instruction of five apprentices. In the classical tradition, he instructs these enthusiasts1"Without fee, feeling he must "make this contribution."

Away from the:E:anvas, Annigoni jumped into the headlines in October when he was handed a two-month, two-day jail sentence for portraying the Town Council of Florence as "fools and clowns" at a public meeting.

This was in reference to the council's desire to ship a group of Italian master's paintings to this country. While under the official cens1;1re of the local government, Annigoni received the Gold Medal of the International Columbus Association for his artistic achievements.

13

The submarine exhibit was drawn from the private papers, letters, plans, maps, photographs, books and newspaper clippings of Dr. Richard K. Morris, assistant professor of education. The engineer in charge of constructing the U.S.S. Holland was Dr. Morris' grandfather, while the inventor, John P. Holland, was distantly related to Trinity's vice president, Albert E. Holland.

A feature of the display was a scale model of the original boat, loaned to Trinity by the Submarine Library of the Electric Boat Co., Groton.

The original sub was 54 feet, with a speed of eight knots. It was the first underwater vessel ever launched, hitting the ways in 1897. Engineer Morris, a graduate of Stevens Institute, was also an inventor of buckets, dredges, hoists, and loading devices for ships.

Jessee, Cooper, Smellie Full Professors; Candelet and Morse Appointed Associates Announcement of the promotion of five faculty members, three to full professorships, came recently from President Jacobs.

The new full professors are Dr. George B. Cooper, history; Daniel E. Jessee, physical education; and Dr. Robert H. Smellie Jr. '42, chemistry.

Promoted to the associate rank were Dr. John E. Candelet, economics; and Dr. Samuel F. Morse, English. The five have a combined total of 71 years of service to Trinity.

Keeping track of the numerous activities of John Dando, assistant professor of English, is rapidily becoming a full-time job.

Mr. Dando recently went on the air over WCBS, New York, presenting a "Backgrounds of Literature" program to an estimated three million people. Similar to his popular and still continuing show, "Behind the Pages" (Sundays 1 :15 P .M.) over WTIC, "Backgrounds of Literature" (Sundays 8:30 A .M.) opened with several weeks devoted to the Bible.

Earlier, in September to be exact, Mr. Dando made his TV debut with his own show, "What in the World?" over WTICTV, (Fridays 9:30 P.M.) Channel Three .

A panel program conducted to benefit numerous charities, "What in the World ?" features John Schereschewsky, headmaster of the Rumsey School; Jonni Bennett, traveler and fashion expert; Prof. James Egan of Trinity; and Charles Cunningham, director of the Wadsworth Atheneum, as panelists, and Mr. Dando as moderator.

Mr. Dando still found time to join the American Association of School Administrators for their annual convention in St. Louis Feb. 22, and spoke of "Literature, the Voice of the Times" on a program with James B. Conant, president emeritus of Harvard.

In his "spare time" Mr. Dando is busy preparing the New England Forensic Conference, to be held April 11 and 12. Mr. Dando was elected president of the group last year.

Five seniors have been elected to the Beta Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary society.

Announcement of the selections came from Dr. Blanchard W . Means, secretary of the Connecticut Chapter. The five were initiated into the society prior to the Moore Greek Lecture Dec. 5.

Those chosen were Borden W. Painter Jr., of Stamford; Robert W . Back, Wheaton, Ill.; Charles Blumstein, Philadelphia; Remington E. Rose, Rutherford, N.J.; and D avid A. Smith, Pocomoke City, Md. These men qualified for Phi Beta Kappa by maintaining an average of at least 89 during their first seven semesters at Trinity.

In addition, they have shown the personal attributes of good character and leadership required for admittance, according to Dr. Means. All have been active in undergraduate affairs.

Psychologists Certified In accordance with the recently passed Connecticut Certified Psychologists Law, the three men who comprise the Trinity psychology department have been certified by the State.

The law, an act 路"regulating the use of the title 'psychologist' ", states in part that " no person shall hold himself out to be a psychologist ... without a certificate issued by the board of examiners of psychologists."

The three who have been certified at Trinity are Dr. Andrew H. Souerwine, Dr. 0. W . Lacy, and Dr. Robert D . Meade.

To obtain certification the three had to complete satisfactorily the examination given by the State board of examiners.

Brinnin Poetry Lecture} Excellent Concert Heard The Trinity Lecture and Entertainment Committee, headed by Dr. Michael R. Campo of the romance languages department, has brought outstanding cultural events to the College in recent months and promises more of the same before June.

Several highlights of the season have been a lecture by noted poet and author John Malcolm Brinnin on "Poetry Now: From Soho to San Francisco"; and a concert of Elizabethan music for voice, lute and viola da gamba featuring internationally respected musicians.

Mr. Brinnin, who may be recalled for the book which raised such a stir in literary circles, Dylan Thomas in America, captivated his audience with his poetic insights.

An assistant professor of English at the University of Connecticut, he received in 1956 the Gold Medal of the American Poetry Society for "Distinguished Services to Poetry." His books of verse include The Garden is Political, The Lincoln Lyrics, No Arch, No Triumph, and The Sorrows of Cold Stone.

The concert of Elizabethan music featured Helen Boatwright, soprano; Joseph Iadone, lutist; and John Riley, viola da gamba.

All have distinguished themselves in their fields, and the critics and audience alike gave enthusiastic response to their efforts at Trinity. Dr. Clarence Barber of the music department was instrumental in planning this program. Other outstanding events have been planned.

Coming from Yale in the weeks ahead will be Dr. Henry Margenau, professor of physics and natural philosophy; Prof. Guelfo Frulla of the romance languages department; Reeves Morrison, project engineer with Pratt and Whitney Corp.; and tentatively, Prof. Erich Noth of the University of Oklahoma, who is editor of the Books Abroad Journal.

The Cesare Barbieri Italian Club, becoming one of the most active groups on campus, hopes to present in February Prof. Filippo Donini, the cultural attache from Italy to the U.S. The group is also directly sponsor• ing the appearance of Prof. Frulla from Yale.

Hoehling Writes on Civil War A Whisper of Eternity-The Mystery of Edith Cavell, by A. A. Hoehling (Trinity '36). Yoseloff, Inc. 191 pp. $3.95.

Reviewed by D. G. Brinton Thompson This book will give many older readers a feeling of nostalgia. It brings back the days when the military execution of a woman could shock most of the world. On October 12, 1915, at Brussels, the Germans shot Edith Cavell, a devoted English trained nurse, who, by her own admission, had helped Allied soldiers escape from Belgium. Her execution was rushed, and no consideration, apparently, was given to her care of German wounded.

In view of the then current standards of conduct the German occupation authorities in Brussels behaved very badly, and very stupidly.

Nowadays international morality has sunk so low that the fact that she was given a trial in open court and was treated decently after her arrest would be considered all that could reasonably be expected, and her execution would be taken for granted. However, at the time, her execution did cause a great wave of indignation in America and did stiffen the will to carry on in Great Britain and the Dominions.

The "mystery" concerns the ques-

tions of why Edith Cavell Confessed without pressure, an dalso why Brand Whitlock the American Ambassador to Belgium, and then in charge of British affairs, did not follow the case more closely. Edith Cavell all her life, she was fifty when she was shot, had been a fine example of a high principled, self reliant, capable British spinster, and she probably would rather have faced death than persist in evasion and lies. As far as the conduct of Brand Whitlock is concerned, I fear he simply did not grasp the seriousness of the situation until the eleventh and a half hour. Then, only a few hours before the time set for execution, the Secretary of the Legation, Hugh Gibson did all that could be done, but it was too late.

The whole mood of the book is of the past which will please many readers but may confuse others. For those who wish to read of a somber and not unimportant event of World War I this is a good account which, while it starts slowly, gathers suspense as the story unfolds.

Trinity's First TV Series A series of six television shows, featuring Trinity students and faculty, is being produced by the ad hoc radio and television committee for local station WHCT-TV, Channel 18.

The program will be seen on consecutive Sundays beginning March 2, at 3 :30 p.m.

Pew End Honors Annie Lyman Judge Cyril B. Judge '10 of Newport, R.I., has given the College a beautiful new pew end, in memory of his wife, the late Annie Lyman Judge.

The 63rd carved pew end to enter the Chapel, it was dedicated at the 11 o'clock Sunday service on Jan. 5.

The pew end was designed by John C. E. Taylor, chairman of the Trinity fine arts department, with the carving by Irvin Dressel of C. H. Dresser & Sons.

The finial of the pew end represents St. George slaying the dragon. This has reference to St. George's School in Newport, where Mr. Judge taught from 1910 to 1927 before going on to Harvard University.

In the panel the Judge coat of arms is at the top; below this is the tower of Trinity Church, Newport, with which Mr. Judge has been associated for many years.

Beneath the church tower is the figure of General Warren at Bunker Hill. The general was one of Mrs. Judge's ancestOrs. The seated figure on the arm rest represents Jeremiah Dummer, who was a colonial silversmith, and who also was one of Mrs. Judge's ancestors.

Mr. Judge is one of Newport's leading citizens. After serving as an instructor at Harvard from 1929 to 1935, he turned to writing and research work. He has written three books, edit~d another, and published

...

numerous articles in such publications as "Speculum", "Harvard Studies and Notes in Philology", "Leeds Studies in English", and "U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings".

After receiving his B.A. degree from Trinity, Mr. Judge continued his studies at Harvard, receiving his M.A. in 1920 and his Ph.D. degree in 1931. He also studied for a year in Oxford University, England.

Varsiry Squash Club Sets Pace For Lagging Cold Weathe..r 路Teams I

Trinity athletic stock has skidded sharply.

The basketball team remains winless, having lost their firs t five and 22 of the last 23; the swimmers are not living up to expectations; and only one bright spot appears on the scene.

Basketball

82-74 and giving the Ephmeo a real scare.

Wesleyan edged past Trinity, 58-53, in the next co ntest, which many observers also felt could have go ne to the Bantams, strictly on the basis of comparative team talents. In their last effort before the exam layoff, Trinity was soundly buffed by Tufts, 81-50.

The problems have been manifold, and finding a good working unit is probably as big as any. Scoring punch to date has come from senior Art Polsteio, who was not even on the squad last year. Art has hit for 60 points and a 12-point-per-game average.

Soph Jack Foster has netted 45 for a 9 point average, while junior Brendan Shea is in the third spot with 41 points for an 8.2 average. The team average is 59.8 to the opponents 70.6.

Part of the story is told here. Captain Jack McGowan, who as a sophomore and junior established himself as one of the hottest scorers in Trinity history, currently is limping along on a 4.5 per-game average with a net of 18 in five ballgames. Compare this to his 19.9 record-breaking average as a sophomore, and his 17.7 effort last year, and it becomes obvious that a real scoring threat has been at least temporarily bottled up.

Big things were also expected of junior Ed Anderson, Trio's tallest player at 6 6", both in the scoring and rebound departments. He hit for over 20 in the last five ballgames of the '56-'57 campaign, and pumped in 27 against Brown. But to date his average is an anemic 7.2, and he has grabbed only six rebounds per game.

Perhaps the long layoff-from Jan. 11 to Jan. 31-will bring a regrouping of the Trinity forces for the games ahead. But one third of the battle is over, and from here on the schedule gets tougher with each game. Remaining are such comparative giants as Amherst, Bowdoin, Colby, the University of Massachusetts, and Union.

In basketball, new coach Jay McWilliams, subbing for Ray Oosting who has been on sabbatical leave, has tried every combination possible with his small squad in the hopes of finding a winning five. Thus far his efforts have been fruitless.

Last year Trinity was notorious for its sloppy second-half play, literally handing a number of games to its opponents. Unfortunately this habit has prevailed to a large extent. Trinity should have won at least two and possibly three of its five games to date.

In the opener a mediocre M.I.T. team hustled the Bantams off the floor, winning 71-65-and five of the Engineers' points came with but two minutes left to play. In the second contest Worcester Tech, as shorthanded as Trinity, forced the contest into overtime then had little trouble winning, 61-5 7.

Trinity played its finest game of the season against a good Williams team, and played an exceptionally fine second half, closing a big halftime gap before losing

We mentioned earlier that the swimmers are not living up to expectations. This is not to imply that they are not meeting with considerable success, but perhaps you will recall that prior to the opener a good deal of loud whispering, in these columns and elsewhere, hinted that this might be the season when the splashers would chalk up Trio's first undefeated campaign. To date they are 2-2.

The swimmers opened with a squeaker victory over Tufts, then dunked Worcester Tech., 53-31. Bowdoin broke the string with a 49-37 victory, and Springfield followed by edging the Bantams. Coach Bob Slaughter is not depressed, however. He expected top-flight competition from both the latter teams, and indicated that a few tough ones remain on the schedule. He mentioned that particularly fine performances have been rurned in to date from the co-captains, Larry Muench and Jim O'Reilly, and soph Bob Morgan.

Squash

The spot? Dan Jessee's varsity squash outfit, which now stands 3- 1 with impressive victories over Fordham, 7-0; Brown, 4-1; and Wesleyan, 6-3. Williams inflicted the only loss, 6-3.

When one remembers that Trinity has never had a winning season in squash, the great improvement in the club, which was 4-6 last year, becomes apparent. Another marker is the fact that captain Bernie Moran, a New York City junior, played in the number one spot last year and now fi nds himself in the number seven slot.

The upsurge is being led by a couple of red-hot sophomores and the fine play of a junior. The junior, Pete Dunning of Philadelphia, is undefeated to date, while Jerry Farnsworth of Andover, Mass., and Bill Sykes of Bryn Mawr, Pa., have set a torrid pace for their teammates. Sykes is playing in the number o ne spot.

Jessee, noted for his conservatism, says this group "may become the best team we've ever had if I can keep them all together."

Balance is essential in squash, he notes, and the loss of one of the top-ranking players can upset the whole team as all are forced to move up one posicion.

If Dan is successful in keeping his group intact, then he's willing to do a rare thing for him : predict victory over Pittsburgh on Feb. 6 and over Amherst on Feb. 8. Both are home matches. Dan feels that Yale and Army will probably have too much for his boys, although "they'll really know they've been in a match."

Soccer Laurels for Three Three Trinity soccer players have been named to the first team of the 195 7 Intercollegiate Soccer League selections.

The honor went to William W. Lukens, a junior from Gladwyne, Pa., center half; Brendan Shea, Manchester junior, inside right forward; and C. Jon Widing, junior from Newtown Sq., Pa., inside left forward .

Although Trinity was knocked from the national championship perch which it woo with a perfect season last year, the past season showed the hooters still strong on the winning side of the ledger with a 5-2-1 record. The freshmen compiled a brilliant record under new coach Bob Shults, being the only official Trinity team to go through the fall sports schedule without a loss.

Trin 83, Clark 77 A strong team effort erased an eight point half-time lead to give the Bantams a hard-earned and well-deserved initial victory of the year.

All Jive Trin starters hit for double numbers, paced by senior Art Polstein with 16.

Outstanding play came also from a number of sophs, most especially Jack Foster, shown above outjumping the Clark defense for an important two points. Standing by for the rebound that didn't come is Ed Anderson (No. 31), with an unidenti fied Trio player in the melee. This was Trio's second victory in last 24 starts.

"The Mighty Hud" The cover picture and story on the football exploits of the Rev. ]ames 117. (Jimmie) Lord '98 in the first ism e of The Bulletin has elicited a good deal of alumni interest in other figures who ha·ve attained national recognition while performing on the athletic field for Trinity. One such individual was Th eodore (Ted) C. Hudson '14, who starred in both football and track while an undergraduate. After learning a bit of "Hud's" many feats , we asked Sports Historian Robert S. Morris '16 to give us a closer look at this figure who achieved such heights fo r Trinity . Mr . Hudson is now a successful salesman living in Washington , D .C.-Ed.

by Robert S. Morris '16 Out of the Paul Bunyan country of Minnesota there carne co the Trinity campus in the fall of 1910 another young demigod who " core up trees by the roots and scatcered his opponents on the gridiron like chaff."

Now, nearly five decades later, as the lase thwunk of leather against leather has echoed across Trinity Field and the compilers of All-America elevens have come co grips with their consciences, chis 200 pound fullback will be recalled by old-timers as an outstanding candidate of his day for national recognition.

The reputation that preceded Theodore ( Ted ) C. Hudson from Shattuck School was chat of a linesplitting thunderbolt whose prowess had catapulted his schoolboy teams to an impressive string of championships.

Arriving on the Trinity campus, "Hud" discovered that he had enrolled in one of the country's smallest colleges ( 225) with a football squad so microscopic that frequently one side of the varsity line had co be pitted against the other for practice.

Actually the four Trinity reams on which "Hud" played averaged only twelve lettermen. However, the Bantam was not disposed to coddle a sense of inferiority, and consequently tangled regularly with such formidable foes as Army, Brown, Colgate and New York University in company with her ancient, traditional rivals. Against such competition it is highly significant that "Hud's" four teams lost but six games out of 33 and amassed a coral of 543 points to the opponents' 140.

"Hud's" debut at Trinity was most inauspicious, for he was sidelined in his first encounter with a severely wrenched ankle. It was the first injury the young giant had ever sustained. When he did rerurn to the wars two weeks later it was at a cackle position, where he could the better continue co nurse his ailing tendon.

There he led a relatively inconspicuous existence although his agility and aggressiveness were frequently noted. But a budding opportunity for stardom was presented in the closing game with Army, when he replaced the team's injured fullback and "raged against the enemy like Samson among the Philistines."

It was during Trinity's first undefeated season, in 1911, that Trinity and "Hud" skyrocketed to national fame . Week after week he chilled enemy hearts as he "ripped opposing lines to shreds and thundered around the ends like a runaway locomotive."

At season's end he was the choice for AllAmerica distinction of nearly every critic in the East who had discovered his "powerful line plunging, tremendous strength and speed, as well as his remarkable defensive play which gave strength co Trinity's light ( 171 pounds on average ) line."

Walter Camp extolled "Hud's" virtues as

Track Whiz, Too

Before closing this account of Trinity's "greatest football hero under the modern rules," reference should be made to his prowess as a track athlete. In effect, "Hud" was a one man crack team . Despite his great weight he ran the 100-yard dash, as well as both hurdles, threw the hammer, put the shoe, tossed the discus, and leaped in the broad jump. In many dual meets he entered and placed in six events. His best single day was in the Wesleyan meet of his senior year when he took first place in the low hurdles, hammer throw and broad jump, second in the high hurdles and discus, and third in the shot put. He might also have entered the 100-yard dash, had it seemed advisable. During his four years "Hud" was high scorer in every dual meet except one meeting with Wesleyan in which he was disqualified from the hammerthrow due to a misunderstanding concerning the number of trial and final throws.

In four seasons he scored 18 2 out of the total 586% · points amassed by the team as a whole. He broke the college discus record four times during his college career, che hammer record four times and tied (believe it or not) the college record in the low hurdles. He took second place in the low hurdles his senior year in the New England Intercollegiates to the astonishment of all sportswriters and contestants who had never seen so large a man compete so successfully in that event.

those of "the greatest ground-gainer in the East," but when the chips went down, he named Dalton of Navy to the fullback position in his first All-America lineup, reserving the honorable mention spot for "Hud." The Father of Football was seemingly unable to rise above his prejudiced judgment of small college heroes, for eight of his 1911 team were from the ranks of Yale, Harvard and Princeton.

"Hud's" scar continued to ascend during the succeeding two years and perhaps its zenith was reached in the last game of his career when he contributed immeasurably to the shattering of a superb, highly-favored Wesleyan eleven with a display of fighting spirit and stamina (he was twice knocked unconscious) unequaled in the annals of Trinity football.

A§§OCKATION NOTE§ Executive Committee Proposes Changes The executive committee of the Trinity Alumni Association voted at its January 24th meeting to invite the three Alumni Trustees and the presidents of all area alumni associations to future executive committee meetings.

Barclay Shaw '35, president of the Trinity Alumni Association, said it was the unanimous opinion of the executive committee that tllis move would "improve the coordination of all alumni activities, allowing tl1e left hand to know what tl1e right hand was doing."

The committee also voted to recommend an amendm ent to the constitution at tl1e annual meeting of the association June 7th pertaining to the nominating committee. George C. Capen ' 10, chairman of tllis committee, reported that the present system of electing five new m en to the committee each year could b e improved upon by making it a six-member committee with two new men a year elected for three-year terms, leaving four hold-overs each year. Mr. Capen pointed out that under tllis system the considerations of one year's committee would not be duplicated by the succeeding group.

William R. Peelle '44 proposed a manpower survey of Trinity alumni for the purpose of compiling a list of those willing and able to serve on committees and do other work for the college. It was the opinion of the executive committee that

$100,000 Goal For Alumni Fund Announced by Title, Shaw Melvin W. Title '18, chairman of the Alumni Fund, and Barclay Shaw '35, president of the National Alumni Association, have announced a goal of $100,000 for tlle 1957-1958 Alumni Fund.

Tllis amount has been approved by tlle executive comnlittee of tlle Alumni Association and by the Alumni Fund steering committee.

"This is a challenging goal," Mr. Title said, "but it is a realistic figure and can be met, if Trinity alumni will continue to support tlleir College as they have in the past. In the last ten years we have raised our sights from $18,000 to $100,000. This is a record matched by few, if any, colleges of Trinity's size."

In speaking of the purposes of tlle campaign, Mr. Shaw added, "$75,000 of tlle total will be used to continue the support given by alumni in previous years for faculty and scholarships. The remaining $25,000 will be used to help tlle College to start a long-range program in such areas as adequate faculty salary scales, opportunities for promotion comparable to those at any oilier college in tlle country, increased opportunities for research, attendance at professional association meetings, and sabbatical leaves.

"Trinity needs $200,000 additional annual income to do all tllese things properly. We alumni by our support of tlle Alumni Fund will be assisting the College to take tlle first big step towards this allimportant goal."

Mr. Title announced the appointment of H erbert R. Bland '40 as vice-chairman of tlle Alumni Fund. Mr. Bland, a partner i11 R. C. Knox & Co., Hartford, is also a member of the Board of Fellows at tlle College. As an undergraduate he was secretary-treasurer of his class, business manager of The Tripod, manager of the track team, and a member of Alpha Chi Rho. During World War II h e served in the Air Force. Since tlle war he has been very active in community and college affairs. H e was tlle Greater Hartford Alumni General Gifts Chairman for the Program of Progress.

RobertS. Morris 100 Pearl St., Hartford The Rev. JACK TOWNSE D is cele-

brating the completion ~£ 10 years in the Panama Canal Zone. He became archdeacon of Colombia in 1947, visiting the scattered congregations of th e South Am erican republic; he later took charge of St. Andrew's, Cocoli, and entered into the many-sided work of the Canal Zone.

He wrote recently: "In the mission field nothing is easy . . . An ordination is a great event here."

Word reached us just before Christmas of the passing of FRA K ACHATZ. The secretary and Mrs. Morris enjoyed a pleasant afternoon visit with Frank and his family two years ago while passing tluough Bradenton, Florida.

Among the interesting Christmas cards received tlus season were those of JACK TOW SE D from the Canal Zone and JIM ENGLISH. As always, Jack's was unique and I presume newsy to those who speak Spanish. But we could, and did, appreciate his Christmas Carol. Jim's contained a family portrait complete with six grandchildren and two dogs. Can any of the Class beat Jim's record?

RICHARD S. BARTHELMESS, one of tlus country's finest actors in an era now passed, continues to reap awards for his stirring performances of the '20's and '30's.

The below is excerpted from the October, 1957 issue of Image, a journal of photography and motion pictures published by the George Eastman House.

In the editorial: On the evening of Oct. 26 at Rochester, N.Y., the George Eastman House will wel-

come and honor with the "George" awards living stars, directors and cameramen of the motion picture world of 1926-1930.

These 20 artists . .. will be winners of the Second Festival of Film Artists for the most distingttished and outstanding contributions to the art of motion pictures of this period. The Festival is sponsored by the George Eastman House, whose special motion picture mission is to collect, preserve, study and evaluate the important films of the past and their makers.

And the inside story has this to say of Richard Barthelmess, one of the wiimers: Ronald Colman, Richard Barthelmess, Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd were all among the winners of the 1915-1925 Festival held in November of 1955. All four have been elect ed again for a repeated citation this year.

Richard Barthelmess achieved a whole row of successes among the seventeen leading roles he completed over these five years. "The Patent L eather Kid" (1927) was an impressive war story: "The Little Sh epherd of Kingdom Come" (1928) was a poignant reminder of his most memorable role-that of Tol'able David. Critics and the public were both pleased by "W eary River" (1929) and a pre-depression depression story, "Young Now heres" (1929). In 1930 Barthelmess returned tn plartin!Z a Chinese for "Son of the Gods."

"The Dawn Patrol" (1930) was praised hy veterans of the Lafayette Escadrille as the best motion picture ever made about {lyPrs in World War I; a rare tribute to the rP-ally versatile and solid acting abil·ity of Richard Barthelmess.

The Rev. OTEY BERKELEY h as recently retired as rector of St. Columba's Church in Detroit, due to ill h ealth. He and Mrs. Berkeley are now making their home at 400 Sandwich Rd., Plymouth, Mass.

He is joining the Adams, Blanchette and Evans law fum at 266 York Street in New Haven. We also wish to thank you for the very "nautical" Christmas card, Paul.

Since your secretary had heard from no one else since early December, he decided to journey across the river to the Princeton Club, for the annual fall meeting of the New York Alumni Association, in the hopes of assimilating a bit of "gossip" for this starving colwnn. Unfortunately, however, our snowbound auto teamed-up with an equally-trammeled P.R.R. locomotive, to very effectively defer our eventual arrival until the post-dinner movie hour! The . result was we only glimpsed MIMI MARQUET, the "budding" young executive of the aforementioned transportation ( ? ) organization, who (quite understandably) made for the door in a style remarkably reminiscent of the broken-field runner he "was" in the never-to-be-forgotten Fall of I934!

DON HEYEL, our class "gift" to Kaiser Aluminum, Inc., was another who somehow escaped us in the semi-darkness, but we did ultimately manage a glass of cheer and some "chit-chat" with our own "Mr. Alumnus", BARC SHAW. If I missed mentioning anyone else who might have been present, mayhap it will provide stimulus for a letter or two in this direction, so we could have more to report on in the next Bulletin? In the meanwhile, I am busying myself with my campaign for re-election to the local board of education, as well as with the area chairmanship for the state March-ofDimes Ball program committee.

Our ever-present relative, Uncle Sam, is still in1luencing the lives of many of the class. Most of the boys have been scattered around and about our own country, but others have acquired APO addresses; and it is hard to know their exact location.

FRANK SOLOMITA has an APO Seattle number and TOM BRETT has his mail forwarded through APO New York. PAUL HINES is Hying out of Forbes Air Base in Kansas and JACK ISSELHARDT is in Topeka. TOM LIVINGSTON and FRANK LENTZ are in California; Tom is stationed in Coronado and Frank is near Costa Mesa. First Lieutenant DICK KOPP is stationed in Kittery, Maine-that's a good place for the Winter!

The weaker members of the group are still dropping like Hies. They say two words too many, "I do."

When in Philadelphia, I talked to CHUCK EBERLE who informed me that Frederick Rommel Eberle was born just a few months ago. Chas. is going great guns at Pennsylvania Medical School and on week-ends plays in a combo called the "Infumary Five." His cool talents on the saxophone help keep the house stocked with Pabulum. I received a card from BILL and Helen GLADWIN and they said their little Lee Anne looks just like her papa, chubby. They are now located in Great Falls, Montana. DICK ROYSTON, PHIL CRAIG, DICK JOY, and DAVE ROBERTS have all reached the "proud papa plateau"-next, the middleage spread.

Just recently I bought a wonderful machine to play records and am getting a big kick out of hearing RONNIE MOSS on Hi-Fi. His Bell recording of "Almost Paradise" is a nne start of what looks to be a very promising career. Ron, singing with Fred Waring, toured Florida for a short while and then appeared on T.V. on the "Club Oasis" show.

ED YEOMANS says he is glad to get out of the Army and throughly enjoys teaching high school mathematics. DICK BLYE is studying for his Ph.D. in endocrinology at Rutgers, and RIAL OGDEN is getting "brain washed" at the Hartford Law School.

DICK ZAMPIELLO is now engaged in plant layout engineering for Westinghouse in Bridgeport. "Zamp" said he saw BURT PRICE, HANK SCHEI BURG, and FRANK LUBY at WARREN GELMA 's wedding to the former Miss Joan Mack last December 29.

Some of the boys have shuffied around a bit, especially those in the service. JOE REINEMAN was transferred from Texas to MacDill AFB in Florida. Oink! BOB LAIRD is now stationed on Resolution Island, 200 miles South of the Arctic Circle. IRV MEISSELMAN is a traffic officer at Goose AFB in Labrador. PAUL NEAL is now in Philadelphia and FRANK LUBY is located in nearby Allentown. ED ANTOS is stationed in Alexandria, Louisiana, and JIM FYFE is in Tallahassee, Florida.

DAVE DIMLING has become quite a celebrity since becoming the son-in-law of Neil McElroy, Defense Secretary. The January 13 issu-e of "Time" has a picture of McElroy's family, and Dave takes part in the intimate group.

William N. Pierce, Jr. 18 Alexander Avenue Waterbury, Connecticut ''The Lemonsqueezers" Hi!

DICK HALL and his wife, Sue, are in Stephenville, Newfoundland. Harvey is assigned to the Air Control and Warning Squadron. The Hall's report much snow and cold weather.
