'ENGINEERING LOVES MEDICINE'
President Lockwood chats with Jon Reynolds '59
POW Returns to Trin On Friday, March 16, Air Force Major Jon A. Reynolds '59 saw the Trinity Campus for the first time in nine years. It was a quiet, but real homecoming for Reynolds, who had been held for the last seven years as a prisoner in North Vietnam. A pilot, Reynolds was shot down near Hanoi in November of 1965. He was among the first group ofPOWs released in early February. He didn't want any fanfare on his return to Hartford, he said, but just intended "to slip in and out of town." He had called a few fraternity brothers from Alpha Chi Rho, and they held a semi-private reunion over beers at Phil's on Zion Street, where he was also interviewed by a Tripod reporter, (a coed). He said he intended to tour the campus on Saturday, when things would
be quiet, but did take the opportunity to meet President Lockwood, who had sent a telegraph to him on word of his release. He told the President he had last been on campus in 1964, some two years before he was captured. Then they talked about the many changes that had taken place at Trinity in the interval. Reynolds said the prisoners had virtually no knowledge of what was going on in the United States while they were captive. Even knowledge of the moon shots was kept from them, he said. He told President Lockwood he intends to stay in the Air Force. He now has credit for 13 years service, and will go back on active duty soon. Among the fraternity brothers who met with Reynolds that afternoon were Brian Nelson, Jack Adams, Bob Brian, Ray Loven, and Joe Krawski, all members of the Class of 1959.

Dr. EDWARD W. SLOAN III, associate professor of history, visited an eighth grade English class at Bloomfield (Conn.) Junior High School in January. His visit was made possible through the Capital Region Education Council's Innovative Valley Education program. The program is designed to augment career education programs in eight of the Farmington River Valley towns. Sloan told students what it's like to be an historian and, more specifically, a biographer. The students, who are currently studying biographies, learned from Sloan that biographers have to know how to write - and that is where the English class enters into the picture.
DISTINGUISHED TEACHER - Robert W.

Virgil Thomson Here for Week To Open Powell Lecture Series Virgil Thomson, the Pulitzer Prize winning American composer, author and music critic, inaugurated the Powell lectures in music, a series of talks and musical programs at Trinity. Thomson was in residence at the College the week of March 5. On March 6 the world-famous composer lectured on "Words and Music," and, on March 11, conducted his Missa Pro Defunctis (Requiem Mass) written in 1960 in the College Chapel sung by the College Concert Chorus with an orchestra of Trinity and Hartt students. The remainder of the program also included Thomson works conducted by Jonathan Reilly, instructor of music and director of the Trinity Chorus. During the week Thomson conducted daily seminars in orchestration and contemporary music for music majors. The now 76-year-old composer visited Trinity in 1967 and 1968. He has strong ties with Hartford. His opera, "Four Saints in Three Acts," had its first performance here in 1934 when the composer was only 37 years old. The opera inaugurated the opening of the Avery Wing of the Wadsworth Atheneum, catapulting the composer from a little-known name to one of prominence. The opera was one of the opening events planned by the late A. Everett Austin, Jr., then director of the Atheneum and organizer and faculty member of the Trinity Fine Arts Department, for whom the Austin Arts Center is named. Thomson's appearance was the first in a series of events made possible through the generosity of Mrs. Charles F. Powell of Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. The second event in the series was the appearance April 9 of Dr. John F. Ohl, Chairman of Music at Northwestern University. His topic was "Bach in the Twentieth Century."

Students Develop New Tools For Doctors (Continued from Page 1)
"automatic sleep state scorer," which is an electronic device that can reliably measure patterns of sleep. Initiated in 1969 by George Minukas '69 and Alan Clearwaters '70, the project is currently being carried on by James Stufflebeam '72 and James Campbell, an RPI student. Working with Dr. Bronzino and Dr. Charles Stroebel, director of the Experimental Psychophysiology Laboratories of the Institute of Living, the students are developing equipment to identify and record the physiological changes which take place during sleep. This electronic system will eventually be used to study biologic "time clocks" as well as certain aspects of mental illness. One of the drawbacks of the study is that the operator of the sleepwatching machine has to stay awake to monitor it- a condition which the researchers are trying to eliminate. Eventually, the machine will be reliable enough so that it will not need to be monitored during use. Some results of the study were presented by Clearwaters at the 23rd Annual Conference of Engineers in Medicine and Biology, held in 1970 in Washington, D.C. Another ongoing project, concerned with biotelemetry, has involved six undergraduates in an attempt to develop minute implantable units which would monitor body temperature and heart rate

Solis '74; Robert Howard, an RPI student; David Bono '74; John Coyne '73 ; and David K.iarsis '72. To date they have produced several telemetry units which function properly; however
their ultimate objectives are to miniaturize these units and to develop quantitative measures of these physiological events which can be correlated to indices of schizophrenia. The results of this biotelemetry project have been accepted for presentation at the New England Conference of Biomedical Engineering, April 19-20, at the University of Vermont. In 1970 a way to measure the rate at which radioisotopes are "washed out" from the eye was initiated by Martin Tong '72 and continued by Anthony Jenney '73 , working with Dr. Bronzino, Dr. Charles Miller, Associate Professor of Physics, and Dr. James O'Rourke of the University of Connecticut Medical School. This information would help in determining whether any restriction of blood flow to the eye exists, thereby providing the physician with a valid diagnostic tool. Some completed projects include development of a special technique for using x-rays (called tomography) to find orthopaedic problems in children; a new way to separate white blood cells from red cells; a "time capsule" medication which would diffuse a drug into the eye over an extended period of time , and the analysis of electroencephalographs to reflect drug effects on the brain. In recognition of their interest in the College, Dr. Stroebel and Dr. O'Rourke were among four research professionals named Adjunct Professors at Trinity this year. The posts were created to give faculty status to the professionals at non-academic institutions who have been allowing Trinity undergraduate and graduate students to work with them on research projects. Dr. Bronzino says the program illustrates that engineering is "an applied art, in this case the art of applying technology to the biosphere" - the world of living systems. He says it is easier for an engineer to learn about the problems involved in particular environments, such as the environment of life sciences, than it would be for an environmental specialist, like a physician, to become an engineer. Team approaches to research are proving more and more successful, Dr. Bronzino stresses, and the engineer is proving himself a valuable member of a research team. There are different levels at which the bioengineer involves himself, Dr. Bronzino says, and each requires a different outlook and training.

On one level, the bioengineer can be a Dr. Bronzino has acted as the catalyst "problem solver," using his expertise to for these projects, matching Trinity answer specific questions raised by a students' interests with the needs of researchers in the area, to get the projects doctor or other life scientists.

Prof Williams 'Retires' to a School in Kenya By Joyce C. Willis The Hartford Times When Prof. Ralph Williams of West Hartford taught in a Quaker mission school in Kenya, East Africa, four years ago, he liked the people and the area so much, he decided to go back, he says, "before I was too decrepit to enjoy it." This summer the Trinity College English professor will begin three years of missionary work in a school in the Western province of the country near Kisumu. The linguist and authority on 18th century English literature said he decided to spend a year's sabbatical, at half pay, in Kenya in 1969-1970 because, "I wanted to go some place where I could learn a different language. I also thought of Africa because I had a student from there. He was a Quaker and he talked a lot about the country and its climate. While he was there, Dr. Williams learned Oluluyia, the regional language, and subsequently wrote a paper on the subject. The Friends United Meeting Board on Missions had done a lot of missionary work in Kenya, and since the early days of evangelists, had acquired a prize area for its work, he said. "Early evangelists divided the country and agreed not to compete with each other outside the areas they had," Dr. Williams explained. "The land the Quakers got was to become what is known as the White Highland, the richest, most fertile and flourishing area of the country."
Professor Ralph Williams in his office in Seabury Hall
While he was there on sabbatical, Dr. Williams worked in a Quaker mission school called the Friends Bible Institute, where he taught English to 15 young men studying to become evangelists. Dr. Williams doesn't know yet if he will return to the Friends Bible Institute
or teach in a vocational school. "In Kenya, the parents have to pay for elementary and secondary education. Then, if the student qualifies, he can go on to college which is free. The government pays for it," he said.
The vocational schools are necessary he said, noting, "The largest single unemployed group in Kenya is the high school graduates. This is because in high school they were given a formal English education, with emphasis on things like
WATSON AWARDS
Two Win Traveling Fellowships James W. Allison III, and Michael J. Gross, both seniors at the College, have been selected to receive $6,000 fellowships from the Thomas J . Watson Foundation of Providence, Rhode Island. The two Trinity students are among 70 seniors at 34 top colleges and universities to win the annual fellowships, which provide a year of independent, post-graduate travel and study abroad. The fellowships are presented by the foundation, a charitable trust established by the late Mrs. Thomas J. Watson Sr., in memory of her husband, founder of International Business Machines Corporation. Allison, a theatre arts major from Wilmington, Del., will travel to Europe to study children's theatre. He plans to work in children's theatre in England and France, and also visit children's theatres in Austria, Italy, Rumania and Russia. Allison spent part of his junior year at Trinity at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center in Waterford, Conn. In addition, he has taught improvisation in one of Hartford's public high schools, and has run a children's drama program for the Department of Parks and Recreation. He is a member. of St. Anthony Hall Fraternity. Gross, a philosophy major from
Allison Cranford, N.J., will use his fellowship to do research for a novel about a draft resister. He expects to go to Toronto, London, and Stockholm, to study the communities of American exiles. Gross has been active on two literary magazines, the Trinity Review and Collage, and is a member of the Trinity Poetry Center. His short story, "Geronimo," won first prize in the Trinity Alumnus Prose Fiction competition in 1971. In
Gross addition, he was a participant in the 1972 Breadloaf Writer's Conference in Vermont last summer. The Watson Fellows were chosen from among graduating seniors nominated by participating colleges. They were selected by the Foundation primarily on the basis of their potential for creative leadership in their field of interest, although academic records and extra-curricular activities were also taken into account.
Shakespeare and no real training for work. ''The Quakers have begun an intermediate college, beyond secondary school, to try to give the students professional training in areas where jobs are available. The school offers one and two year courses in stenography, secretarial skills, nursing, carpentry, masonry, electrical engineering, and business administration. "Often these high school graduates are older than Americans, because they don't have to start school at six-years-old," said Dr. Williams. "Some start at 10, and often, because they have to pay for their education, schooling is interrupted until the family saves up the money to send them back to school." He noted that in most elementary grades, the cost was 140 shillings, or about $20 per term. There are three terms in each school year. He explained this unusual education policy. "Most African countries cannot afford to give free education for the younger students. Yet they need highly educated, qualified people, so they will send them to colleges and universities free." The professor says he found the young Africans anxious to learn and eager to get into business areas. "The Asians have a stronghold on business and banking in these East African countries and the native Africans haven't had a chance to show what they can do in operating businesses." The American Quaker organization, Partners for Productivity, lends funds to African businessmen, he said. The low cost of living and climate are two other conditions that drew Professor Williams to East Africa. "When I was on sabbatical for a full year on half pay, I actually saved money," he said. "When I went on sabbatical beef tenderloin here was $2.75 a pound. In Kenya the same tenderloin was 27 cents per pound." The climate, he says, is almost perfect. "Most of East Africa is about a mile above sea level. It would be hot during the day, but at night the temperature went down into the 60s. During the time I was there, there were only four days when the sun didn't shine in the morning." The country has two rainy seasons. This time of year - it's summer in Kenya - brings 12 hours of gentle steady showers that begin at 1 p.m. and continue to early morning. July and August are dry, and in September, the short rains begin. "The rains may begin at 1 p.m. and continue to 6 p.m., then it clears up. A half hour after it stops raining, the humidity disappears. During 'winter' in Kenya, the temperature goes down to a 'chilly' 55 degrees." After three years, Professor Williams will be given a furlough. He says he doesn't know yet whether he'll return. "You don't find people staying as long as they used to, like 30 or <+U years," he noted. "Many people feel after three years they've fulfilled their obligation; and if they have young children they bring them back to the United States to be educated." "Some people ask why I don't sell my house. I don't want to burn my bridges behind me. If I decide to come back, I'll have a house to come back to," he said. "I will keep an open mind about the next few years." But he quipped, "I may find that with inflation and my pension, I may have to live in Kenya."

Gifts Campaign At 78% of Goal The April 2 report of the 1972-73 Annual Giving Campaign indicates gifts and pledges at 78% of the $475,000 goal. To date, 2,528 donors have contributed $368,397. Reports of the five categories of the Campaign are as follows: • Alumni Fund- $207,605 - 75% of the $275,000 goal • Parents Fund - $86,970- 92% of the $95,000 goal • Business & Industry Associates $50,621 -78% of the $65,000 goal • Friends of Trinity Fund - $14,351 48% of the $30,000 goal • Foundations (non-corporate) $8,850- 89% of the $10,000 goal Judson M. Rees, director of development, said, "Although we have made great strides so far and the response has been encouraging, we still have more than $100,000 to raise - and - we only have about two and a half months before the campaign ends. "This will be the critical period," Rees added, "and it is our hope that those who have not yet supported the Annual Giving effort will consider the importance of contributing now. "The drive officially ends," he said, "on June 30. However, we are still hopeful that the goal will be reached by May 16, the !50th anniversary of the founding of the College. It would be a most appropriate date on which to announce successful completion of the campaign."

(continued from page I) internal relations. It was agreed, therefore, that the College should not presume to alter familial patterns of cooperation but rather should be ready, when feasible, to provide information when requested to do so by the student in a manner which suited the requirements of the family." Two other practices at the College were endorsed by the Trinity College Council in their recommendations · concerning the new age of majority. Smith reported that the Council, anticipating "certain situations in which a student might, because of his majority status, object to communication between College officers and his parents or guardian," sent the following recommendation to President Lockwood: That it be understood that whenever the Dean for Community Life, or the Vice President, or the President has reason to believe that a student's health or welfare is seriously at stake or that a student may commit an act which could be harmful to himself or others, that officer may inform parents or the guardian and request whatever assistance he believes necessary. Another recommendation from the TCC was that President Lockwood reaffirm and continue the present policy of requiring evidence of family need when a student applies for financial aid. The Council's intent was to prevent students from claiming they were "emancipated" from their families, and then seeking to be excepted from the usual obligation to provide evidence of family need for financial assistance. Smith said that such students, in the Council's view, "should not be exempt from the requirement, ... for the result of such exceptions would be to divert aid funds from the needy family and student to students who were able, with family assistance, comfortably to meet their educational expenses."

Your secretary just returned from the Aetna World Cup Tennis Tournament at the George M. Ferris Center at Trinity, USA versus Australia as you know. What a thrill! Wish you all were there. The tournament will be held at Trinity once more, I'm told by Aetna. Thereafter, in the big new Hartford Coliseum, holding 9,000 people or more. Imagine such an international sports event held at Trinity in the old Alumni Hall where we all first showed up on campus, some 60 years ago. This brings me to the point. We have all been approached, by our Special Gifts Chairman, GEORGE H. M. ROUNTREE, Class of '40, for the College's 150th year anniversary drive. I hope those of us who have not yet done our best will please do so for old Trinity's 150th. Don't forget the "matching gift" offer from your former companies even though you are retired. Some companies will match your gifts, even so. I hope to see you all at least at the "Immortals" Dinner in May.
