TRINITY REPORTER VOLUME 2 NUMBER 8
Annual Giving In Final Phase; Still Lagging The number of contributors to the Annual Fund continues to surpass last year at a comparable stage in the campaign (April 18) but the total dollar amount is less. As the 1971-72 drive enters the final phase, $97,613 still must be raised if the $425,000 goal is to be met by the June 30 deadline. The Alumni Fund stands at $1 77,857$72,143 short of the $250,000 goal. In mid-April last year, $198,832 had been raised from 1,502 contributors. The April 18 report from the Development Office indicates gifts and pledges from 1,799 alumni which represents an approximate 20% participation. The Parents Fund, with 417 contributors, has reached $58,817 $26,183 short of the $85,000 goal. Last year at the same period, $67,146 had been raised from 401 contributors. The other three segments of the Annual Fund have exceeded last year's results in both dollars and number of contributors. In two of the areas, the 1971-72 goals have been exceeded. The Friends of Trinity Fund stands at $19,589 (goal: $15,000) with 51 contributors, Foundations (non-corporate) have contributed $18,700 (goal: $15,000). Business and Industry Associates have raised $52,424 (last year at the same time the amount raised was $47,478) against a goal of $60,000. Anniversary Club members (gifts of $150 to $999) number 349 as compared with 308 last year; Founders Society members (gifts of $1 ,000 or more) stand at 58 as compared with 63 last year. In all categories, there have been 2,350 gifts and pledges compared with 1,987 in the same period last year.
APRIL, 1972
TRINITY COLLEGE, HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT
COMMENCEMENT Sunday, May 28
Students Raise Money to Aid Vtctims of War Antiwar sentiments which flared up on major campuses across the · nation following the resumption of · U.S. bombing raids in North Vietnam were expressed on the Trinity Campus in the form of a "non-coercive" student strike April 21 and in an organized program to create public pressure against the war. The campus became the base of operations of the Connecticut Regional Coordinating Committee made up of students from Trinity, the University of Hartford, Wesleyan, the University of Connecticut, Yale and Connecticut College. The committee planned a peace rally May 4 in Hartford's Bushnell Park. The students also raised money to place an advertisement in The Hartford Courant, expressing concern over the war, and were collecting money to donate to the American Friends Service Committee which assists victims of the conflict. Other plans included a lobby movement in Washington, a letter-writing campaign, a canvass of alumni, prominent community leaders and the community at large, and a "speakers bureau" to address community organizations.

Other Costs Held Down
Tuition Increases $200
NEW OFFICERS OF THE TRINITY COLLEGE PARENTS ASSOCIATION are, from left, Bruce N. Bensley, vice president; Mrs. Norris L. O'Neill, secretary; and Robert K. Mooney, president. They were elected April 22 at a meeting of the Association's directors, and will serve during the 1972-73 academic year. Mooney, president of Hartford Despatch, lives in West Hartford and has two sons at the College: Edward, a sophomore; and Christopher, a freshman. Mrs. O'Neill, who also resides in West Hartford, has a qaughter, Megan, in the junior class. Bensley, vice president of Goldman, Sachs & Co., New York City, lives in Morristown, N.J.' His daughter, Lisbeth, is a sophomore at the College, and a son, Bruce, is a freshman. The next general meeting of the Trinity Parents Association will be held during the weekend of No.vember 3-4.
The College will increase its tuition by $200 this fall, bringing the total tuition cost to $2,700 for the 1972-73 academic year, according to an announcement from President Lockwood. Tuition is the only area of College expenses which is being increased, Dr. Lockwood said. Other College fees, such as dormitory rent, board, general fee and student activities fees, are being held at current levels. Noting that Trinity intends "to hold down the rate of increase in expen$eS to students," Dr. Lockwood observed that even though tuition will be $2,700 next year, "the total increase to students will be two-thirds or less of the rise scheduled for many colleges and universities of ·comparable quality in this part of' the country." The tuition increase is part of an $8.46 million budget approved by the Trustees. The budget is up 4.3-1 -peiC.e~r
$350,100 over the current year's $8.11 million budget. The small increase, the president said, "realizes our hope to restrict the dollar rise of the budget to an amount not exceeding that which inflation and the growth of the Gross National Product make reasonable at this time in our economy." Dr. Lockwood indicated that "most of the tuition increase will go into instruction, and into maintenance and Text of Budget Message, Pages 4 and 5
renovation of our physical plant. Our salary increases will be less than five percent, a figure below many increases authorized by the Wage Board, and within the guidelines recommended by Washington," he said. (see BUDGET, page 2)

CHAPEL BUILDERS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION MEMBERS gathered for the 39th annual meeting April 15. With the exception of a short recital by Professor Clarence Watters on the new Chapel organ, the program for the evening was much the same as it has been since the Association was·formed by the late President Remsen B. Ogilby-a service in the Crypt Chapel, a prayer in the Cloisters for those Chapel Builders who died in the past year and whose names have been carved on th~ wall, and the traditional turkey dinner in Hamlin Hall. As usual, the speeches were short and there was much reminiscing of the days when the Trinity landmark was under construction. .Thirteen members of the Association-masons, carpenters, and other tradesmen-were present for the 1972 meeting: left to right (front row) Flaminio Bassano, Avind Beck, Carlo Magno, Elmer Borgeson, Rocco Rinaldi, Antonio Zullo, Luigi Longon; (back row) Frank Vozzola, Anthony Longon '48 (son of Luigi), Angelo Daglio, Howard Bent, Peter Moretti, Herbert Mather and President Lockwood.

3 Seniors Win Rockefellers Three Trinity seniors have been awarded Rockefeller fellowships, which provide a trial year in seminary for people considering the possibility of ordination in a Protestant ministry. The three are among 44 students nationwide to receive the fellowships offered annually by The Fund for Theological Education, Inc., of Princton, N). . They were selected from 600 aP.pli.cants: · ·· c' • : _ -' The Trinity 'students ' are Gregory P. Sammons, Steven W. Wilcox, and Robert T. Robinson. The one-year awards are intended to be "trial year" fellowships, during which the student seeks to determine whether the ministry ought to be his vocation. The fellowships are awarded to those who otherwise would not consider going to graduate theological school. Sammons, son of Mr. and Mrs. James
E. Sammons of Pittsfield, Mass., is an English inajor, and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa this year. He has served as a member of the College Chapel Committee, and was Verger of the Chapel this year. For three years he held the George F. Baker scholarship. Wilcox, a religion major, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert B. Wilcox of Winne~ka, Illinois. He was active this year in cross-country 'and the· swimming team. Robinson, an English maJor, i~ ' th~ son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Robinson of Salisbury, Conn. This year he played varsity soccer and hockey. He was a member of Cerberus. According to Dr. John A. Gettier, chairman of the Department of,Religion, Trinity ndminated six candidat~s for the award this year. Three of th'em were religion majors, the remainder coming from other depar~~ents. "-
The budget increase also includes some non-repetitive items such as a new viewbook for prospective students, and improvements to the telephone switchboard, among others. Other features of the budget include a provision for recitals on the new Chapel organ, a $19,000 increase in se'(urity expenses,. more _mone'y 'allocated to tli.e Library for equipment, books ,and periodicals and new light fixtures; a 7.8 percent increase in the athletics budget to cover increased costs and funds for women's sports, and $67,000 for repairs. Recently, Trinity has managed to maintain a balanced budget despite forces which have driven other institutions into deficit. After a deficit in 1970, Trinity recovered with a balanced budget in 1971, and will break even again this year. The 1972-73 budget is also balanced, Dr. Lockwood said. The budget, Dr. Lockwood said, was formulated under three major constraints: to keep the budget balanced; to hold down increasing costs to the student; and to withstand cost increases which are beyond the control of the College, such as utilities, maintenance costs, and the effects of inflation. The larger objectives behind the budget, he continued, are "to preserve the value-orientation of a liberal arts college; to reassess our educational programs and commitments, and to maintain a ·dual commitment to individual needs and institutional standards." "In the period since World War II, Trinity has responded to new challenges with a flexibility appropriate to an institution about to celebrate the 150th anniversary of its founding. Out of its traditional strengths, it has sought to meet the consequences of the shifts in society's expectations. We have developed
a new curriculum; we have become coeducational; we have ·confronted new economic conditions forthrightly and we have opened the College to minorities. We have become sufficiently innovative to claim a role in setting the pace for future change in higher education," Dr. Lockvmod sai!f. . · ' "Our goal for the seventies is to assure that Trinity is one of the dozen truly great smaller liberal arts colleges in this country," he continued. To this end, he said, "We look ahead with a greater measure of security than most other private institutions."

group is pressing for passage of the Case-Church amendment to the foreign aid authorization, which would cut off funding for the war. Many of the proposals came out of II workshops held during the strike April 21. Classes were held as usual that day, and while there was no accurate figure on the number of students who participated, some esti,mates went as high as 25 percent. The workshops, led by students, faculty and administrators, included such topics as ''Social Influences and the War: How to Change People's Minds;" "Voters Reactions· to StudenfStrikes,~' "Political · Action in Hartford," "Why the Bombing and What to Do?" and "Political Protest and Religion."
In informing the College of Mr. Engley's resignation, President Lockwood said Trinity "has profited immeasurably from Professor Engley's wise counsel and his judicious handling of the Library." Yale, he observed, "has been quite aware of the excellent stewardship Professor Engley has provided Trinity during the last 23 years." Blum

Balan.ced 1972-73 ·Budget Reflectr The following is a statement by President Lockwood on the College's budget for 1972-73, which was approved by the Board of Trustees on April 8. The establishment of our budget for the 1972-73 fiscal year has been at once a painful and a prod,uctive task. A painful task because, in order to keep the budget balanced, we have been forced to deny some worthwhile and reasonable requests while acceding to others. But productive because budget-making forces us ·to sharp~n our focus on Tripity's educational mission. Before turning to a discussion of next year's budget, therefore, I should like to comment on certain general problems confronting not only Trinity but all of higher education. During the past few years there has been the sharpest rel).ppr~isal we nave ever experfenceo. Alan 'Pir~i: presid~rit c)f· the Carnegie Corporation, recently observed: "There is a growing body of responsible·, well-informed people, both on and off the campus, who believe the time has come for substantial changes in higher education. Among these people there is now a questioning of once sacrosanct practices, a new willingness to experiment, a new irite.rest in the needs-of sttidents, "and a new "concern for tfiose w~o hav~ been .deni~((a~~e~s '(o higher' education or have not been reached by the conventional system." In the period since World War II Trinity has responded to new challenges with a flexibility appropriate to an .institution about to celebrate its !50th anniversary. Out of its traditional strengths it has sought to meet the consequences of the shifts in society's expectations. We have developed a new ,

The rapid transformation of the world order and the concomitant strains in American society and i,n the economy pose serious problems for atr~ of us. Colleges· and -universitie~· c·an' · no~ longer' · assum·e that they iinpart' t'O ··st'uderits" durable --knowledge and skills.·Maripower · · needs alone are in constant flux. The educated individual must now be able to foresee future problems, to prepare himself again and again to meet those · problems, and to find · the requisite· resources. And students rightly ·expect more; namely, they want to . senSe the· applicabil-ity of learning to themselves-their morality, their aspirations, their awareness . of the ever-changing world in which they live~ In such an uncertain situation, . the individual's sole hope for constancy lies in his scheme of values. Here Trinity and other liperal arts institutions must play a leadmg role. We want the undergraduate to hav_e the opportunity to become intellectually engaged in consideration of broad· questions relating to the human conditions as well as of defined bodies of knowfedge. We believe in liberal learning, the freeing of the mind and spirit so that the individual may beco~e · aware of the
cultivation of our present assets. It demands the assessment of our present offerings-both as to appropriateness and quality-to which I referred earlier. It presupposes a continuous effort to improve our teaching, a project to which we shall dedicate special energy in .the coming year. And it presumes a readiness to accept further changes which developments in society and in higher education make mandatory. The ·:futute is by no means certain, but we look ahead with a greater measure of security than most other private institutions. We clearly recognize our financial condition ' as well as our educational challenges. We know that we must continue to justify the investment others make in our programs and facilities. And we know that what we offer must be first-rate. The 1972-73 Budget: General Considerations It is best to consider first the inevitable constraints under which we operate. Foremost among these is the need to balance the budget. Although we have warned in earlier annual reports against creating an educational "deficit" in preventing financial imbalances, nevertheless, the temper of the times demands that. higher education exercise "fiscal prudence." Indeed, a precondition for successful fund-raising today is solid evidence that an institution can manage its resources in such a way as to insure its continued solvency. From my many conversations with prospective donors and with corporations and foundations I have learned that many people hesitate to make substantial gifts to a college if there is a good reason to believe that the funds will . be.. diSsipated in. a. ·vain .effort; to preserve the financial integrity of the institution. A second constraint operating upon . colleges is the need to hold down the-rate of increase in expenses to the student.
VGoa,lfor.!h~· 70's '
"
Our goal for the seventies is to assure that Triniti is one of the dozen truly great smaller liberal arts colleges in. this country. That requires an assiduous
There are two basic reasons for this caution. First, private higher education. in general faces a crisis vis-a-vis public colleges and universities. Over the years enrollments· in private institutions have fallen relative to those in state-supported institutions where students can obtain an education at considerably less cost. Twenty years ago 50 per cent of the students in college attended independent institutions. Today this figure is less than 25 per cent. While many private colleges are experiencing an absolute decline in enrollments and cannot fill their classes, fortunately Trinity has not had this experience .. But we must remain alert to this danger. Second, we are quite sensitive to the total cost of an undergraduate education and wish to do everything possible to keep that cost within reasonable reach of a large number of talented individuals. We recognize the need to be efficient, to hold down prices, if we are to have a sound economy. Unhappily a third constraint under .> which we operate makes this goal difficult to attain,. Many of the costs are outside our control. For example, the rising costs of fuel, electricity, and other utility services affect u.s like any consumer. General maintenance costs continue to climb. That great parasit~, inflation, saps our strength just as fiercely as it does everyone else's. The rest of the budgetary increases are explained by the ·fact that education, like most service industries, is labor intensive. Personnel costs remairr .the single most important item of expense. To attract and to hold competent persons requires salary increases and we are . not as compe.titive 1.a:s we ,would .like . to).; be.;.-To . freeze salaries would simply make,it more difficult to maintain, or to improve, the quality of the faculty and staff. Therefore, we have continued our program of annual merit raises.

., place, and the problem, of values in the contemporary world. In short, we must make the world a more tolerable place for human b-eings to live and all that we do at Trinity should bear on the great humanistic concerns of our age. It follows that we must continue to assess o'ur educational commitments in light of the value-orientation of a Trinity education and within the limits of our financfal capabilities. Trinity currently offers a wide range of opportunities sb that each student may genuinely learn to take responsibility for his lifetime of education. For some that range is too generous; for ·others it is insufficiently broad. Heeding this difference in opinions, we must systematically assess the appropriateness of what we offer. To that end we have already reviewed programs in athletics, the arts, and the sciences. . We shall continue this reappraisal in other areas of our curriculum. Finally, we must guard against the casual comfort of dealing with larger enrollments. Although Trinity has grown considerably, we still intend to remain attentive to individual differences in backgrounds and interest. That philosophy has been prominent in the development of new. pro_gr~ms like the Alternate Degree-Program and the Intensive Study Program, just as it was with the 1969 Curriculum Revision. But just as a Trinity education accommodates individuality, so a Trinity degree must represent educational quality and rigor. I have been heartened by the concern for high standards and hope that we shall apply that concern to all our activities as administrators, faculty, and students.

Your Secretary and his wife spent the month of March in Florida, and the Bahamas.

There are more of our vintage in Florida, and others moving down regularly it seems. Olga and I are not ready for it, at least not yet; we have too many interests up here that we would hate to give up at our youthful age. Recently FRANK CRONIN '25 succumbed to the sunny skies of Florida and moved to 1111 North Riverside Dr., Fairbanks No. Apt. 301, Pompano Beach, Fla. 33062. "Becky" loves his golf and no doubt will be easily recognized on the club course at Pompano daily. Dr. JULIUS WEINER, '25, has also moved south to 2773 So. Ocean Blvd., Apt. 214E, Palm Beach, Fla. 33480. (Your secretary drove right past his apartment recently-had I received the notice of his move sooner, I would have talked with him.) Another classmate who has gone to the warm climate is Tom Harris, Jr. '25 who moved to 3199 South Ocean Dr., Hallandale, Fla. 33009 last fall. Another classmate, one who has moved but still hanging on up here in the North is Romaine Chapman, whose new address is i 70 Edwards Rd., Cheshire, Conn. 06410; same town tho. The spring is fast coming on and with it the crew season. Trinity looks forward to another I good crew year.

Barclay who had just moved to Mount Kisco, New York died in his home on February 20, 1972. We will miss him at reunions and college affairs as Trinity will miss his leadership and deep interest.

Spring Sports Results
Varsity Tennis Strong Varsity Tennis (2-0) Coach Roy Dath's team is off to a flying start this spring defeating Amherst (5-4) and Williams ( 6-3) in its first two outings. Number one Gary Mescon, a senior from Newton, Mass., and senior captain Dick Palmer (Wethersfield, Conn.), who is currently playing number two, have been outstanding for the Bants in both matches. Dath also had praise for number five, sophomore Jonathan Emery, the number one player for last spring's frosh team, and junior Jeff Harris who has won both of his singles matches, playing at number three. Varsity Baseball (0-2) The Bantams came north off a six-day, eight-game trip to the St. Petersburg/Clearwater, Florida area only to drop their first two decisions to Amherst (12-3) and Colby (7-I). Trin came up against some strong opposition in the southland with three of its games against the Philadelphia Phillies rookie farm team. In the opener on April 2 the Bantams were shutout 9-0 by three Phillie hurlers. An indication of improvement during the week was that the varsity played that same team six days later, losing by a much closer I 0-9 score. The team's only victory (they finished with a I-S-2 mark) came against St. Petersburg Junior College by a 7-4 score. The Bamtams · had lost a 6-I decision to St. Pete's two days before but
the latter game dropped the hosts record to 4I-Il. In their first game in the north, Trin held a precarious 3-2 lead over a good Amherst team through the first seven innings. Then the roof fell in-I 0 hits, two walks, and an error-and the Bants ended up on the short end of a 12-3 score. T.rin's only other game so far in a cold and wet spring was a 7-1 loss to Colby College in Hartford. The game was scheduled to be the first of two seven inning tilts but the second was cancelled because of poor weather. Varsity Lacrosse (0-2) The varsity lacrosse team is another team off to a bad start losing to Middlebury 13-3 and Holy Cross 9-8. With the graduation of a large number of seniors last June, including All-American defenseman Bill Prevost, the squad is taking its lumps early in the season while fielding a young and inexperienced team. The Holy Cross game found the Bants down 9-7 with but a few moments left in the game. Junior midfielder Rick Johansen, pumped in his third goal of the game with only 30 seconds left to bring the team one goal away from overtime. As the last ten seconds of the game were spent, sophomore attackman John Westermann intercepted_the ball to the side of the untended Crusader nets but his pass to the crease found no takers as time ran out.
THIRTY YEARS AGO the Trinity baseball team had a pitcher named Bill Scully (left) and a catcher named Don Viering (right). Early in April, the two were on hand in Florida to give advice to. two current Trinity baseball players-a pitcher named Bill Scully '74 (second from left) and a former catcher now playing first base named Don Viering '72 (second from right). The "senior" battery mates wound up their athletic careers at Trin in 1942 with a 10-inning 1-0 win over Yale.

NEAR THE FINISH LINE-Mariett;1 College (left) leads the Trinity heavyweights by a boat length (although the camera angle would indicate otherwise) to capture the Mason-Downs Cup April rs on the Connecticut River.
Marietta Captures Mason-Downs Cup For the first time since I967, the Mason-Downs Cup is leaving Trinity for foreign soil. The Bantam heavyweight crew fell to a powerful Marietta College of Ohio combine on April I5 in tne featured event of the Ninth Annual Mason-Downs Cup Regatta held ori the Connecticut River in East Hartford. Colleges represented in the regatta this year were host school Trinity, Amherst, C.W. Post and Marietta. Trin's varsity heavyweight crew for the regatta was composed of coxswain Win Redmond who hails from Washington, D.C., and oarsmen Doug Lake (Dedham, Mass.) at stroke, John White (Rockton, Ill.) at No. 7, Dave Brown (Chagrin Falls, Ohio) at No. 6, Malcolm Poole (Portland, Maine) at No. 5, Tim Stevens (Hamden, Conn.) at No. 4, Curtis Jordan (Phienix City, Alabama) at No. 3, captain Bob Lawrence (Westwood, Mass.) at No. 2, and Davia Livingston of Nahant, Mass. in the bow. The Mason-Downs Cup race featured a matchup between two crews who have done very well in national competition in the last few years. The Marietta crew took two national championships on the freshman and JV heavyweight level at the Dad Vail Regatta last May, finishing only one point behind rrational team champion St. Joseph's College. The Bantams have been New England team champions for the last two years. Last spring, Trin took fifth place in the Dad Vail, won the American Henley on Lake George and placed second in the prestigious Ladies Plate event at the Royal Henley Regatta in England. Rowing upstream agaiJ!st a rough and swift running Connecticut River, the three varsity crews-Amherst, Marietta and Trinity-rowed the first third of the two thousand meter course without a clearcut leader. At the I ,000 meter mark the Lord Jeff crew began to fade and the contest settled into a two-way battle. The two shells raced evenly for another five hundred meters but a closing sprint by the Pioneers proved too much for Trin.
The winning time was 6: 11 with Trinity trailing by about a length at 6:14.5 and the Amherst crew at 6:31. Marietta swept the JV and Frosh heavyweight races as well as the Lightweight competition. Trin's only victory of the day came in an open race for fours with coxswain. A freshman boat of coxswain Raymond Albo (New York City) and oarsmen Ridgley Evers (Atherton, California), John Fennerty (Schenectady, N.Y.), Tom Goldberg (Clayton, Missouri) and Jeff Monaghan (Medfield, Mass.) defeated a Trin freshman lightweight four by 4.7 seconds over a three-quarter mile course with the Amherst entrant trailing by over a minute. Although the regatta was not a successful one for the Bantams, the crew's performance cannot be classified as a poor one. The Marietta crew was fortunate enough to spend two weeks training in sunny Florida away from the ice floes and logs et. al. which come down the Connecticut in the spring thaw. The Mason-Downs cup was the season opener for Trinity while it was the sixth regatta for the Pioneers. Finally, Marietta undisputably had a fine crew-one that was bolstered by two national champions of a year · ago. The two squads will probably have a rematch in mid-May at th~ Dad VaU Regatta.
