CLARENCE WATTERS, Hor,orary O~ganist of the College, at the console of the new Chapel organ.

1, 000 Attend Recitals Inaugurating New Organ More than 1,000 people-invited guests, Hartford residents and members of the College community-came to Trinity to hear Clarence Watters play two recitals inaugurating the new organ in the Chapel.

More than 350 attended the invitation-only recital and reception on January 21 and nearly 700 packed the Chapel for the public performance the following night.

There were standing ovations on both evenings, and reviewers gave high praise to both the artist and the instrument.

Theodore H. Parker, critic for The Coutant, credited Mr. Watters with a "brilliant performance," and described the organ as "splendid." Mrs. Dorothy Stowe, writing in The Hartford Times, called the recital an "auspicious beginning for a fine organ which will inevitably become a mainstay of the community."

Mr. Watters, she said, "played with great style and unfailing good taste." She observed that for him, the recitals were a "crowning moment in a life devoted to the organ and to music at Trinity."

Warren V. Tanghe '70, writing in the Tripod, described the organ as "an important contribution to the cultural life of the nation," and praised Mr. Watters' role in designing it and demonstrating ' it to be "a viable instrument for a wide variety of musical styles."

The organ is a gift of the late Mrs. Newton C. Brainard in memory of her husband, a trustee of the College for 41 years. A private service of dedication was held in the Chapel on January 15.

The organ has 4,720 pipes in 78 ranks, three manuals and 65 stops. Located under the Rose Window in the Nave of the Chapel, if is one of the largest organs in Connecticut.

It can be described as "Neo-Classic," a 20th-Century organ which employs the best principles of the past three centuries of organ-building. The instrument was built by Austin Organs, Inc. of Hartford, at a cost of $150,000.

Clarence Watters, Honorary Organist of the College, was consultant on the design of the organ. He was head of Trinity's Music Department from 1932 until his retirement in 196 7. In 1968 and 1970 he was visiting professor of organ at Yale University.

For his program he chose works of Bach, Reger, Widor, Franck and Dupre, as well as one of his own compositions.

Future events in the Chapel will include a recital March 12 by John Holtz, Chairman of the Organ and Liturgjcal Music Department, Hartt College of Music; a concert for choir and organ March 17 and 18; by the Trinity Concert Choir; a recital April 17· by McNeil Robinson, organist of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, New York City; "The Bloomsbury Mass" on April 18, by the Choir of the Church of the University of London, and music for pipe organ and rock instruments May 2, with Larry King, organist of Trinity Church, New York City, and the "Outer Space" band of Trinity College.

CAMPUS .· NOTES The Trinity College Library has joined several other area libraries, including. those of the Am'erican Antiquarian Society, Amherst, Dartmouth, Mount Holyoke, Wesleyan and Williams in the sponsorship of a scholarly bibliography of New England history. Dr. GLENN WEAVER, associate professor pf history, a member of the Committee; says that publication is expected by 1975. The compilation of local history will consist of an accurate listing of printed works dealing with the history of New England as a whole as weU as the six individual states which comprise the region.

Dr. JEROME P. WEBSTER '10, trustee emeritus and the first president of the Trinity College Library Associates, was honored at the annual dinner meeting of the Friends of the Columbia University Libraries. He received their Citation for Distinguished Service for having established and maintained at the University the Jeroine P. Webster Library of Plastic Surgery, the largest collection -of its type in the world. The collection consists of 5,000 books, including many rare first editions. Dr. Webster has recently retired as president of the trustees of the Watkinson Library and H. BACON COLLAMORE of West Hartford has been elected to take his place. Dr. Webster has served as a Watkinson Library trustee since the 'transfer of the library to Trinity in 1952. Mr. Collamore, long a benefactor of the libraries, has been a trustee of 1he Watkinson Library since 1948 and played an important role in its relocation.

The persistence of occupational segregation by sex was the topic of a paper by FRANCINE B. WEISSKOFF, instructor in economics, entitled "Women's Place in the Labor Market," presented at the American Economics Association Coiwel).tiJ;Hi~in N~w .Orleans. ·one of the major conclusions of the paper was that 'the division of the labor market into predominantly female and predominantly male .occupational categories is the major obstacle to the attainment of economic equality for women.

BUDGET -'· . (from page 1) up $704,852 from 1970. However, Robertson said; "Total operating income increased $960,158, the result primarily of an increased . tuition rate, fee and student body but contributions of $232,176 from the Alumni Fund and $79,356 from the Parents Fund, were still required to assure the balanced .operating result."

In his annual report to the Trustees, Robertson recalled that during the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1970, Trinity operated with "the largest deficit in its history," $320,473 and observed that the 1971 budget was balanced after it was "redesigned and reordered to encourage cost control and to avoid waste."

Foilowing the "traumatic experience" of the 1970 deficit, Robertson said it was "with quite understandable satisfaction" that he reported the 1971 balance,- and "further, that our budget projections for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1972 are similarly balanced."

President Lockwood said that·to retain public confidence, it is important for Trinity "to demonstrate that we are prepared to use our present resources as effectively as possible and to show that we must be prepared to liye w~th~ our means." ·.

Commenting on the financial crunch faced by U.S. ~oll~ges, many of which are running deficits, Lockwood said that "In the long run, we've got to slow down the rise in costs and, if possible, ·reduce the unit cost of education. That should be one of the prime goals 6f educators in the United States. To allow 'more of the same at higher cqst' is both naive and irresponsible," he concluded.

A new book "Pre-Professionals and the Theory and Practice of Public Administration," coauthored by CLYDE D. McKEE, JR. and SANDRA BILOON, M.A. '71, is the result of a research project conducted under a Connecticut Research Commission grant. The study examines the problems created by employment of the disadvantaged as pre-professionals in public service, and formulates guidelines to assist administrators in dealing with these problems. Dr. McKee, associate professor of political science, was the project planner and director, and Mrs. Biloon, personnel administrator in the Employment Security Division of the Connecticut Labor Department, was principal author and investigator.

*** CHANGEZ SULTAN, a senior psychology major from Pakistan, who entered Trinity as a Strawbridge Scholar, was selected by the Connecticut Poeti:y Circuit as one of the "Four Connecticut Student. Poets" to go on tour at area colleges in February. The four students were selected following competitions held at colleges thr'oughou t the state last fall by a committee which included John ' Malcolm Brinnin, Louis 'coxe, Richard Eberhart, David Ferry, William Meredith, James Merrill and Richard Wilbur. A grant from the Connecticut Commission on the Arts will cover traveling expenses. ·

The policy of bringing artists-in-residence to the campus will be continued. This semester, Alfonso Figueroa, a choreographer and soloist with the Boston Ballet ,C<?mpany .~ will teach jazz dance; .James Clouser; a member · of t'he faculty at Connecticut College whose choreographic credits include _the Metropolitan Opera, the Alberta Ballet and the Manitoba Theater Center, will instruct students in ballet; and Mel Wong, a member of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company and·recipient of the New York State Council on the Arts Choreography Award for 1971, will teach modern dance.

NEW. REUNION PLAN .

The Executive Committee of the Alumni Association has . voted to reverse its 196~ decision concerning reunions: At that ti~e, the plan adopted scheduJed reunions fo'r classes which had been contemporaries during : unqergraduate days. · Beginning · this fall, the . traditional plan that was in . effect prior to 1966 will be followed.

The 1972 Reunion is scheduled for the weekend of November 10-12 and the following classes will have formal reunions: 1917, 1922, 1932,1937,1942,1952, 1962and \9()7, .·

GIVING (from page 1) approxunately $6,000 less than last year at this time.

The amount- raised to date represents 60% of the $425,000 goal. The drive ends June 30. . , · In the only reversal of the overall trend, the Friends of Trinity Fund has exceeded its goal '($15,000), reporting gifts and pledges of $15,205. This compares with $4,898 raised in the same period last year. .

TREKKING IN NEPAL-With the Himal Chuli range as background, Presid¢nt Lockwood pauses during the 25-day trek he and Mrs. Lockwood recently took in Nepal.

New Fund Memorializes Cancer Victim's Courage A 1967 graduate of Marblehead High School, who received his bachelor · of science degree posthumously from Trinity last May has been memorialized at the College by the establishment of a scholarship fund to aid disadvantaged students.

Charles Zachary Greenbaum, who died on May 21, 1971, learned in the spring of 1970 that he had cancer. That ·rail, he was at Trinity, continuing his studies with a display of bravery, courage and sheer willpower which, according to those who knew him, has rarely been seen. Few "knew the seriousness of his illness. No favors or leniency was asked. He was determined to complete his academic work on the same terms as his classmates.

On Commencement Day, May 30, 1971, Charles Greenbaum earned a bachelor of science degree in physics. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. N. Robert Greenbaum of 7 May Street, Marblehead, accepted the degree in his name.

The· first gift of $1 ,000 to the Charles Greenbaum Memorial Fund was made by Mr. and Mrs. Greenbaum. The projected goal of. the Fund is $10,000, which as endowment would yield income to provide an annual scholarship grant for a disadvantaged student. Each year the that $146,776 of the $250,000 goal has been raised as compared with $162,032 last ,year. On the bright side, the number of alumni contributors has reached I ,248, an increase of 22%. In addition, 18.2% · are new donors .. · In the Parents Fund, 320 contributors have pledged $46,777 toward a goal of $85,000. In the comparable period last year, 242 parents had contributed $50,603.

In the Business & Industry category, 43 firms have pledged $35,619 toward a $60,000 goal. Last year in the same period, $40,777 had been raised from 36' companies.

To date, support from Foundations is reported at $11 ,000.

Anniversary Club members (gifts of $150 to $999) number 292 as compared with 249 last year. Fifty-two donors have qualified for membership in the Founders Society (gifts of $1 ,000 or more), a slight increase over the previou~ year.

Last year's successful Annual Giving Campaign-the first coordinated effort in the history of Trinity fund-raising-resulted in more than $400,000 in gifts and pledges. Both the Alumni Fund and Parents Fund set new dollar records with $242,838 and $84,628 respectively.

College would name the recipient a Greenbaum Scholar.

The Fund is primarily the result of a suggestion made by Dr. Robert Lindsay, professor of physics at Trinity and the late student's advisor. Dr. Lindsay said that "Chuck' Greenbaum was a warm and friendly individual who always put concern for others ahead of his own feelings. 'Chuck' had a great talent for science and he undoubtedly would have gone on to make significant contributions. He faced his illness with a courage and determination which were an inspiration for all of us. It was a race against time to complete his academic studies but his will never weakened. It is highly appropriate for Trinity College permanently to recognize the values revealed to us bY Charles Greenbaum by establishing this scholarship in his honor."· Dr. Lindsay, chairman of the Fund, reports a heartening response has already been received from friends and relatives of Mr. Greenbaum as well as from the Trinity community. Students, faculty or friends who wish to make a contribution in memory of Charles Greenbaum may direct it to Professor Lindsay or the Development Office.

New Trial Policy ofi Aid

To Help

10

During Leave

Ten Trinity students receiving financial aid from the College will be able to use , their scholarship money to pay for study at other institutions, under a trial program to start this fall.

The liberal new policy will allow the students to receive financial aid while on Academic Leave of Absence from Trinity, during which they would be doing approved academic work in another college or university, or participating in a study abroad program sponsored by another institution.

Trinity has long encouraged students to take advantage of programs elsewhere which were not available at the College and which could be ·counted· toward ;;t Trinity degree.

Stu?ents on fmancial aid, however,

were permitted to study only at certain other institutions which have a formal exchange program with Trinity. Financial aid was not available to students on Academic Leave.

Since study at any school outside the exchange system requires a Leave of Absence, students in financial aid were effectively barred from this kind of experience , according to Robbins Winslow, dean for educational services, "because the obstacles to meeting their financial need from extra-Trinity sources · are usually insurmountable."

The trial program, which makes possible a more diversified education for students on financial aid, will be reviewed at the end of the 1972-73 academic year.

VIN and Dr. MARY POTTER departed Houston last June 11 for their animal sojourn in Europe. This time they visited eight countries, making their longest stops in Italy and Switzerland. They were enchanted by the Bavarian Alps, visited Garmisch, Oberammergau, Rudesheim and then went down the Rhein after which they went to Paris and England. In August they went to New England to Cape Ann and East Northfield, Massachusetts, and then Fenwick, Westbrook, and Canterbury in Connecticut. While at Fenwick, Vin sailed Long Island Sound in his son's boat that sleeps six. That is a far cry from the Butterfly Class boat Vin sailed in summers when he was an undergraduate at Trinity. A visit to Vin's daughter in Virginia ended that trip. Then in Novemller, they joined friends on a trip to . old Mexico which was successful and with delightful weather much like summer in New England.

Again I'm grief-stricken. I have a letter before me dated December 16, 1971 sent by LEIGHTON SMITH '69 telling me of the passing of another illustrious Trinity man and classmate, LLOYD SMITH, his father, on December 13, 1971 after a short illness.

Lloyd was a literary light. An English scholar and publisher. A very generous contributor to the alumni fund and one ol/ the great men of our class. A severe loss to all of us. Lloyd's bookbinding hobby was at its peak and very much appreciated by institutional libraries all over the U.S.A. It is sad to think that his latest creation, "Old Stuff," must now try to carry on without the benefit of his genius, talent and charming wit.
