To the strains of the Processional March played by 路 the First Company, Governor's Foot Guard Band, the largest class in Trinity history wound its way down the Long Walk for the last time as undergraduates. Waiting for them under the outstretched arm of Bishop Brownell was an overflow audience of about 4,000 well-wishers. When the ceremony was over Trinity had acquired 458 alumni with bachelor's degrees and 70 with master's degrees. Seven persons were awarded honorary degrees. In his charge to the senior class, President Lockwood said in part, "We all look ahead with uncertainty. Yet, whatever our positions, we know that we want to create a world of our own making, received but not precast. We hope that somehow we may make a mark on the world we inherited . . . . We are linked with one another; we define our humanity by both our contemplation and our action. I have only this simple message: do it your own way, but do it humanely .... " The College awarded honorary degrees to Mary Ellen Avery, M.D., professor of pediatrics at Harvard University; 路 Ostrom Enders, retired Hartford business executi~e and civic leader of Avon, Conn.; Harry J. Gray, chief executive officer, president and chairman of United Technologies; Frank S. Jones, professor of urban affairs at Massachusetts Institute of Technology; The Right Reverend RobertS. Kerr '40, Episcopal Bishop of Vermont; Robert B. O'Connor '16, architect and consultant; and W. Anthony Paddon, M.D. '35, director of Grenfell Association Northern Medical Services of Labrador. This year's graduates came from 32 states plus Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia and four foreign countries. The class included the largest number of women to graduate since the College went coeducational in 1969. The Bachelor of Arts degree was
awarded to 358 students and the Bachelor of Science degree to 100. Valedictorian was Stephen J. Poole of Wilmington, Del., a biology major, Phi Beta Kappa, Holland Scholar and honorary H.E. Russell Fellow, who also received honors in general scholarship and departmental honors in biology. Susan Anne McGill of Glastonbury, Conn. was Salutatorian. A biochemistry major, Phi Beta Kappa, W.H. Russell Fellow, Holland Scholar and Krieble Scholar, she also received honors in general scholarship and departmental honors in chemistry.
President Lockwood Thirteen other students received Honors in general scholarship. They are Donald C. Baur of Meriden, Conn., also with honors in history; Phyllis K. Roberts of White Plains, N.Y. ; Michele E. Veseskis of Hartford, also with honors in English; Timothy A. Cross of East Sandwich, Mass., also with honors in chemistry; Thomas E.

In the interim she worked for the Lung Association for two years and in 1975 was appointed by Connecticut's Governor Ella Grasso to the Nuclear Power Evaluation Council whose report on atomic safety regulations is due next February. Alexander Lepak, Jr. of Windsor graduated with one of the largest number of majors on record. Lepak, a former "Green Beret" and professional musician, majored in physics, mathematics and chemistry for the B.S. degree. Leanne Garofolo of Wethersfield, Conn. made graduation a family affair. She has three brothers, all of whom are Trinity graduates. Her father, Alfred Garofolo, a retired Hartford police captain, is Trinity's director of campus security and is also taking courses at the College. Two women whose children are also atter.tding Trinity received degrees.

As the '75-'76 academic year drew to an end, the college community was unexpectedly and abruptly faced with a problem for which, in the nature of things, there is no one perfect solution. The affair began with an expression of racist and sexist sentiments on the campus and, within a few weeks, was the subject of news articles and editorials throughout the country. Editorial opinion mainly supported the stand taken by President Lockwood, who had moved quickly to curb further occurrences; some, however, urged caution fearing that the constitutional right of free speech could be jeopardized. The controversial affair began innocently enough as a student-sponsored "Joke Night" held on campus 路in early April and attended by about 250 students. What occurred is summarized in a letter reporting on the event written by Dr. Robert Lindsay, professor of physics and chairman of Trinity's Special Council on Minority Students, and vice president Thomas A. Smith. President Lockwood had asked the Council to prepare a report with recommendations. "On April 22 the Council met with members of the Student Government Association, members of Mather Board of Governors, some of whom were present at the April 9 Joke Night, and with a member of the faculty and an administrator who were also present during a part of the evening. We listened to approximately two hours of accounts of what had taken place at Joke Night, and there is no question in the minds of the Council's members but that the event was outrageously offensive to blacks and to women. "It offended as well against any standard of taste and conduct which ought to prevail among well-educated adults. That the nature of what was said and applauded on the occasion might easily have led _to violence was clear. That it did not can only be said now to have been a matter of accident and the self-control of some of those who were members of the groups being abused. "We consider the event to have been a moral outrage . . . . What is most incredible and dismaying is that an audience of over 250 Trinity undergraduates apparently participated in and enjoyed a program which was characterized by obscene and abusive verbal assaults upon the race and sex of fellow human beings .... " Similar reactions quickly followed from other campus quarters. Writing to the Special Council in his role as chairman of the Trinity Faculty Conference, Dr. J. Bard McNulty said, "We do not wish to anticipate your findings, but it is our hope that you will leave no doubt in anyone's mind about the opposition of the Faculty Conference to expressions of gross racism and gross sexism under the guise of community entertainment .... " Students, too, reacted with a flurry of indignant letters condemning the underlying attitudes expressed and the Mather Board of Governors publicly apologized. After studying the recommendations of the Special Council on Minority Students, Lockwood responded with a number of forthright steps. He censured the officers of the Student
Government Association, the chairman of the Mather Board of Governors and the chairman of the MBOG Small Group Activity Committee for their failure to exercise appropriate precautions and judgment. He tightened controls on future events held by the MBOG Small Group Activity Committee. He also set the wheels in motion to cl.arify and codify the College's position. The College Affairs Committee and appropriate College officers were asked to consider preparing regulations to adopt "so that language or conduct which is abusive and intended to demean one because of one's race, ethnic origins, religion or sex be clearly identified as an offense which would normally merit suspension from the College." The officers of the Student Government Association were asked to review at the beginning of each academic year the obligations all student organizations should be aware of to assure that those organizations are free of discrimination . Lockwood also asked that SGA take precautions to assure that organization members will not use College funds or facilities for abusive purposes. Finally, he promised to work with the vice president and dean of students to clarify the "manner in which officers of the College and others should respond to such situations in the future so that such episodes will not recur or, if begun, will terminate quickly." In a published reply to a Hartford Courant editorial cautioning the College against any abridgement of the right 路 of free speech, Lockwood summed up Trinity's position. H e said, in part, "We wished to draw attention to the insensitivity which so路 easily foments intolerance, injustice, and, in many instances, violence. We concluded that it was time to remind the Trinity community that abusive language is unacceptable. In issuing that blunt reminder it was not our intention to inhibit free debate; rather, it was to provide thoughts and to heighten awareness - to make clear that there are certain standards of public conduct and one of these is basic respect for the dignity of others. "In stating a judgment and in calling for the consideration of explicit guidelines, it is possible to appear as having over.reacted . The suggestion of penalties sought to underscore the need for some appropriate action as the only approach which held any promise of raising the tone of this college community. The faculty-student-administration committee to which I directed this request will consider whether we can, or should, draft guidelines about such behavior. We are driven back to the problem of how, in a society that properly cherishes individual freedom, we try also to assure people of the right to be treated with respect and dignity. Any such effort risks the simplistic reply of authoritarianism, as one writer noted. That skirts the issue of trying to find a proper balance between competing rights. Surely we shall not achieve a higher level of morality in the daily struggle to improve man's lot if we fail to insist on respect for the dignity of others at the same time that we protect the right of free expression."

New Assignments Announced In April the College announced adjustments in administrative assignments to meet more effectively foreseeable needs. J. Ronald Spencer '64, dean of students, has been appointed dean of studies. John S. Waggett '63, a former Trinity administrator, will return as assistant dean of the faculty and advisor to the freshman class. Gerald J. Hansen '51, director of alumni relations, has been named .director of alumni and external affairs. Thomas Lips, director of external relations, has been appointed director of institutional affairs.

He was appointed dean for community life in 1971 and three years later was named dean of students. A part-time Hartford newspaper reporter during his undergraduate years, Spencer served as a lecturer in history at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York from 1966 to 1968. Spencer ~ill work with faculty on academic programs, assist in the clarification of academic objectives, oversee aspects of the curriculum and relate student perspectives to existing and proposed programs.

Prior to joining Trinity in 1975, he had been an executive in the textile industry, serving as president and member of the board of directors of Mary Jane, Inc. An active alumnus, in recognition of his services to the College he was presented a 150th Anniversary Award in 1973.

Francisco, was appointed assistant to President Lockwood in 1973 and director of external relations in 1975. A 1966 graduate of Dartmouth College, Lips earned the J.D. degree from Harvard Law School in 1969. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, the American Bar Association, the State Bar of California, and the San Francisco Bar Association. Lips' new title is more appropriate to his current range of duties which include development work, affirmative action and legal counsel.
Graduate Studies Adds M.A. Option In a poll of 273 Trinity students taken last fall, 195 or about 70 percent stated they were taking courses "for personal satisfaction and intellectual growth." This and similar soundings in the Greater Hartford area by the Graduate Studies Office has led to the development of a new Masters Degree program to be offered next September for the first time . The advanced degree program is designed to fill a need not satisfied by current offerings. The specific need in this instance was for a Master of Arts degree which would allow students to design their own programs from several traditional disciplines within the liberal arts area rather than concentrate their work in a single department. The new program is part of a planned broadening of the graduate program by Graduate Studies Office director Ivan Backer. The program formulated by the Graduate Studies Committee would lead to a Master of Liberal Arts degree. It provides, in a sense, a third option to the two now available. It is not viewed as a way-station toward the Ph.D. The program is for students who "continue their education to further their intellectual development rather than to gain professional advancement . . . " and who "welcome more flexible curricular options to meet their interests." The mechanics will be spellt:d out in the catalog now being assembled: "To be accepted as a candidate each student must submit to the Graduate Studies Committee a statement of his/her proposed program of study. When the Graduate Studies Committee approves the student's proposal it will also assign

a faculty advisor in planning his/her academic program. Quite apart from its academic virtues, the new program has another aspect which commends it highly in a period of fiscal stringency. Only courses already offered will be included in the program. No new courses will be offered and therefore no extra expense to the College is expected.
Trinity in Action Trinity's three-day "back-to-school" program held in April for a group of alumni and parents was officially titled 'Trinity in Action." When the program had ended, the consensus was that "action" should be interpreted literally. In an attempt to learn the problems, catch the spirit and the mood of today' s campus, the alumni and parents visited classes, lectures and laboratories. They conferred with younger faculty members and renewed friendships while trading impressions with professors who had taught them during their years on campus. Conferences with students and briefings by the administration completed the formal agenda. Evenings were spent getting acquainted with newer members of the faculty and administration and viewing student art and sculpture exhibits and attending a "dialog in art" performance. 'Trinity in Action" was begun experimentally in 1974 but all the signs point to its becoming another Trinity tradition. This year participants arrived from ten states from Maine to Florida. Said one alumnus, "It helps to bridge the gap between what I think I remember and what is actually going on today on campus."
Alumni Trustee Named James A. Van 路 Sant '52 was named Alumni Trustee after the closest election in memory on May 22. Alumni trustees serve for six years on the Board representing the entire alumni body. They also work closely with the Alumni Executive Committee on affairs of alumni concern. After leaving Trinity, Van Sant attended the University of London and later Washington University in St. Louis where he received his M.A. in 1957 and taught in the English department from 1956 to 1958. In 1965 he graduated from the Harvard Business School Advanced Management Program. Van Sant joined General Steel Industries, Inc. of St. Louis in 1964 as director of public relations and advertising after serving from 1958 to 1964 as executive vice president of Lemoin Skinner, Jr. Public Relations, Inc. He then became successively vice president, executive vice president and president of General Steel Industries, Inc. When Van Sant was named "man of the year" in 1975, rather than respond with a speech at the presentation ceremony held at William Woods College in Fulton, Missouri, he sponsored a recital by concert pianist Eugene List. His restraint was rewarded by an editorial in the Detroit News which said, "Van Sant had the decency, graciousness, good sense and taste - class, if you will - to resist the temptation ... "

Gift Establishes Economics Chair Trinity has received a gift of $750,000 from Shelby Cullom Davis, financier, philanthropist and former U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland. The gift will establish an endowed professorship and related programs of internships and seminars in the field of American business and economic enterprise. The gift brings to $8.5 million the total of contributions to Trinity's current $12 million fundraising campaign announced in January 1975. The Shelby Cullom Davis Professorship of American Business and Economic Enterprise is the 18th named professorship at Trinity. The distinguished chairs began in 1837 with the Hobart Professorship and the Seabury Professorship of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy. Earlier this year George M. Ferris '16 established the George M. Ferris Professorship of Corporation Finance and Investments. The new professorship will augment the curriculum at the College in studies of the economic theory, practice and history of the American business system. An unusual feature of this professorship is the inclusion of programs for students to learn firsthand about American business through onsite internships with business and industrial firms. In addition, seminars will bring students, faculty and representatives from business together for study and discussion of substantive issues in business and education. These opportunities are usually available only to students in graduate school.

Fall Tour Abroad Slated for Alumni After Russia, Spain and England, what's next? For the Alumni Office, the answer this year is Italy with a focus on the fabled cities of Rome, Florence and Venice. The nine-day tour for Trinity Alumni begins at Hartford's Bradley International Airport on October 5 with a return date of October 13. Accompanying alumni will be Professor Michael R. Campo, chairman of Trinity's Department of Modern Languages and director of the Cesare Barbieri Center, who promises, among other diversions, to introduce all courageous volunteers to aspects of Roman night life seldom seen by less fortunate tourists. Campo will be the escort on a tour of Trinity's Barbieri Center / Rome Campus. For the flight to Rome, passengers will board a chartered PanAm Boeing 707 jet at Bradley in the evening, arriving in Rome the next day in time for a welcome wine and cheese party at the Beverly Hills Hotel. After three nights in Rome, with days filled with sightseeing at St. Peter's, the Pantheon, the Spanish Steps and, of course, the Trevi Fountain and afternoons free to pursue individual interests, alumni will leave by motorcoach for Florence. In Florence two nights will be spent at the Hotel Plaza or Anglo. As in Rome, professional guides will escort the group through the historic city . Some of the high points: The Duomo, the Bell Tower, the Academy of the .Arts with Michelangelo's famous "David." Again, about half of each day will be free for personal activities. The motor coach with bi-lingual hostesses will then roll through Bologna

and Verona to Venice where alumni will step into a motor launch for a short ride through the famed canals to the Hotel Excelsior des Bains. Two days of sightseeing such landmarks as the Doges' Palace and St. Mark's Square, with pigeons guaranteed, will follow, capped by an arrivederci dinner. Then, after breakfast at the hotel the next
morning, alumni will board the plane at the Venice airport for the return trip to the U.S.A. and reality. Alumni who have not received the notice of the Italy caper sent out in May by the Alumni Office should call Jerry Hansen at 203-527-3151 or write him at the campus in care of the Alumni Office.

I wish more of you lads would write and tell me what you are up to so we can pass it on to our classmates. Incidentally, I almost forgot, if you have not done so already, get aboard the Campaign for Trinity Values and also make your regular annual gift as well. The "DUKE" is doing good work in this regard and we are all happy this department is in able hands. (Editor's Note: Your good Class Secretary received the first Bantam Award on May 7 from the Athletic Department - see the sports page of this issue.)

Since NED KENDALL's letter on the ambidextrous Middlebury pitcher, EDWARD CRAM has added his memories of a vivid baseball game Trinity played against the Connecticut Aggies as they were known in those days. Eddy played second base at this game in Storrs, Connecticut. Relations between the teams were not too friendly. The Aggies had a big burly pitcher who was cross-eyed and could fire the ball. He beaned FREDDY BOWDIDGE '23, our right fielder, who fell to the turf and played no more that day. I came to bat in the next inning and was pretty nervous, for when you looked at this pitcher, not sure if he could see the Rlate or the batter, his pitches sailed behind you, above you or wherever. Our team was glad to get out of Storrs after that encounter. If you ever batted against a cross-eyed pitcher who could -fire the ball, it isn't fun. Eddy played 67 games at Trinity, and last year came up for the Amherst and Wesleyan football games and the alumni reunion. His address is Imperial Court, Apt. 8G, 1433 South Belcher Road, Clearwater, Florida 33516. I imagine Dr. BOB REYNOLDS remembers this game - he was pitching in that period.

He was leaving shortly for the training camps down South. Olga and I saw DAVE HADLOW, TONY TRAINER and Mary Louise Trainer at several of this winter's basketball games. Trinity had a wonderful season, 15-6, and a number of the games we saw went right down to the wire. A short while back Dave and Tony were here for cocktails and lunch at our home prior

The Knights were seated around the oak Round Table, their pewter mugs of mead held on high to welcome the addition of the family crest of recently knighted Sir STANLEY BELL to those coat-of-arms already adorning the walls of the cathedral-ceilinged banquet hall.

It hurts to have to report a further reduction in our class membership. Belatedly learned of the passing of BOB HILDEBRAND last New Year's Eve after a long illness. I'm sure the few of us left of 1927 will feel the loss of a good friend and classmate and will want to extend our deepest sympathy to his wife and family. A note from FRANCIS CONOVER says he finally retired for good last June 15 after working seven years beyond his retirement at age 65, this last time due to a bad case of arthritis in a hip joint which tied him down for six weeks.

. For a change I have some news for you. Several months ago while on a business trip to the Midwest, I stopped off in St. Louis to attend a conference and had the pleasure of being met at the airport and having a drink with RICH RATZAN. He and hi~wife, . Susan, both physicians, are doing residencies at Jewish and Children's Hospitals, respectively. However, they plan to return to the East in a year when they're through with their programs. More news about the doctors in our class: DAVID INWOOD recently called to say hello and let me. know that he would shortly be starting a residency in psychiatry at Downc state Medical Center in New York. David graduated from the Medical School in Guadalajara, Mexico, from where JIM PURDY also graduated. In contrast to David, however, Jim enjoys the country and speaks fluent Spanish. Consequently, he decided to stay on in Mexico, beginning a specialty at the Nephrology Institute in Mexico City. David also informed me that PAUL SCHEINBERG would be married in Norfolk, Virginia on April 4 and then would return with his wife to begin a residency in pneumenology (a specialization in lung diseases). Congratulations to you, Paul, and best wishes for much happiness. Congratulations are also in order to RAY GRAVES, who was recently appointed to the institutional review board at the Lafayette Clinic in Detroit. Between his many conferences, appointments and trial .dates, Ray serves on this board which has the responsibility of reviewing the recommendations for human experimentation under the guidelines and regulations recently established by HEW and the State Department of Mental Health. According to Ray, a recent law suit in Wayne County Circuit Court brought public attention to plans and proposals for psychosur- ·
gery, alteration of. human behavior, and experimentation on human subjects as some of the means of treating antisocial and/or criminal conduct. Furthermore, as Ray pointed out, this is one of the few projects in the country of this kind and he hopes to structure 'its program to insure that the individual rights of the person studied will be protected. I also received a rather nice, lengthy letter from JIM O'CONNOR. I like it so much that I think I'll just quote it directly: "''ve been meaning to write to 'Class Notes' for some time but always seemed to throw out the Reporter before I wrote down your address (I kept remembering that it had a 1f2 in it but that's really not a lot of help). So, now that JACK CURTIS has managed to write, I feel obligated and, having just found your address, (I did write it down once, but then I lost it for a few months), here I go. "Presently - i.e., since leaving Trinity (except for two years in the Army in Alaska), I'm in New York City. I'm marketing director for a small, but prosperous (knock on wood) direct mail business supply firm. After all these years, I'm finally beginning to think of myself as a real, native New Yorker and not a visitor. I know that there are a few others from our class in the City, but the only person I've seen very recently is GEORGE WANTY ...:... and that was at a Trinity dinner here. George is working for the First Boston Corporation, doing what I'm not sure. "Last September I traveled down to Philadelphia for DAN HADEN's wedding, and there saw and stayed with JOHN LOEB and his wife, Eva, who is in med school. NATE RATH was there also -he's now out in Waterloo, Iowa, his home town, working for an architecture firm. By the way, Dan Haden is now living in Searsmont, Maine (near Camden) and is also an architect." My thanks to you, Jim, for your helpful news. How about some more guilty souls out there writing a letter to me and filling us all in on what our classmates are up to. STEWART BARNS wrote to the College that he is now in Milton, Massachusetts and his office is at the Church of the Holy Spirit at Mattapan Square, Boston, Massachusetts. We also received a card from Massachusetts · from WILL ROSENBAUM (what's your new address, Will?). Will bought a new "old" house built in 1770 and has started his own Town and 'Country Animal Hospital practice. In addition, he keeps busy with nursery gardening - there's a greenhouse on his property. But the most important news is that Will has become engaged to Jodie Susan Shindler. Congratulations to you, Will. One final note - While up in San Francisco on a recent business trip, I ran across RICK STULTZ at the San Francisco airport. He was waiting to pick up his wife who was herself on business in L.A. It appears that Rick has a rather idyllic situation up there, living in Palo Alto and having a short two-block walk to his office with Hare, Brewer & Kelly·, a real estate brokerage and investment firm. Rick and I talked briefly about our respective work and it may turn out that we'll work together on a particular development where Rick's company will provide the site and I'll do the developing. One final, final note from CHARLIE KURZ. Charlie was here on business recently and we almost made it out East together on the same plane. Charlie was returning to Philadelphia and I was going to Washington to attend a conference. Unfortunately, I missed the plane and had to wait for a later flight. Nevertheless, he would like to remind you that the Alumni Fund Campaign is drawing to a close. If you haven't yet contributed, no matter what amount, please try to do so as soon as possible so that our class can reach its goal in this Bicentennial year. Again, please keep the cards, letters and telephone calls coming in.

Anyway, send along some news to the above address or to the Alumni Office, and have a festive Bicentennial summer.

Trinity Crews Go To Henley Four Trinity crews will cap off a highly successful '76 season by crossing the Atlantic during late June in preparation for the 137th runoff of England's Henley Royal Regatta, July 1-4, on the Thames River. Leading the Britain-bound Bantam oarsmen will be Trinity's varsity heavyweight boat, which amassed a fine 10-3 regular season record and
placed second in a field of 29 of the nation's top heavyweight eights at the Dad Vail Regatta in Philadelphia on MayS. It will be the fourth time in eight years that a Trinity heavyweight crew has rowed for Henley's Ladies Challenge Plate. Trinity boats have made it to the finals of this competition in two of their three previous trips.
Johnson and freshman Eric Matthews garnered rankings of fourth and sixth respectively. The Bantams combined their efforts tallying a total of 26 team points at Amherst to finish ahead of 22 of the 28 participating schools. Trinity's efforts were highlighted by the doubles play of Jim Rice and Eric Matthews who made it to the finals before they were edged by a pair from Dartmouth. The varsity split its final two regular season contests. After suffering a disappointing loss at the hands of Army (8-1), the Bants closed out the year with a highly successful effort against Wesleyan (8-1). Sophomore Andrew Vermilye finished the year with the squad's best individual record at 10-1, while Jim Solomon and Jim Rice were close behind with 9-2 marks. Charlie Johnson, Eric Matthews and Tim Jenkins each posted strong 8-3 individual season records.
Ephmen edged Trinity 2-0, but Steve Carlow's 85 pitches proved too much for Coast Guard as the Cadets managed only one hit and one walk off the senior pitching ace to give Trinity a 3-0 victory. Trinity split successive twinbills with Bowdoin, U. Hartford, and Tufts en route to winning seven of its final eleven outings. The Bantams dropped their opening games to Bowdoin 9-0, U. Hartford 5-1 and Tufts 5-0, but came back to win the second game of each doubleheader, defeating Bowdoin 2-1, U. Hartford 10-8 and Tufts 3-1.

Steve Carlow ended the year as the team's leading pitcher with six wins, one save and one loss. Junior Jim McGrath proved to be the workhorse of the Bantams' pitching staff and wound up the year with a strong 5-5 mark.
TENNIS The varsity tennis team established itself as one of the top New England powers in 1976 and, with only one graduating senior, next year's squad, led by tri-captains--elect Charlie Johnson, Jim Rice and Tim Jenkins, should have few problems in maintaining that stature. The Bantams finished the '76 season with a solid 8-3 record and emerged from the New England Championships tied with Brandeis for fifth place honors behind Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth and Tufts. Trinity began the year with successive victories over U. Hartford (9-0), Conn. College (9-0) and Rhode Island (8-1) before dropping its first match of the year against a strong Yale team (7-2).

Throughout the second period Trinity matched Yale goal for goal, but a tally by Bantam Cackie Bostwick in the game's closing minutes was disallowed, leaving Trinity on the short end of the stick as the battle ended at 9-8 in favor of Yale.
