Exxon Foundation Funds Management Development Study Trinity is one of only 24 colleges and universities in the nation to be selected for a management development and training program funded by the Exxon Education Foundation. It is the only small private college in New England to be included in the program designed to improve the overall functioning of higher education organizations. More than 450 institutions asked to join the project. The program, which has just begun, will be carried out by a non-profit corporation, the Higher Education Management Institute. According to the Institute, the program "will encompass academic, student and business affairs, coordinating their management development and training activities, while focusing on meeting the goals and objectives of the institution as a whole." As one of the pilot institutions, Trinity wilT work with the-Institu te in assessing its needs and in planning the management development and training activities

required. The instructional program for management based on this is scheduled to go into effect next Fall. Although the needs of the colleges will vary, the Institute thinks that the main training activities will be in four areas: institutional goals and objectives and the political, economic and social environment in which the school functions; skills for using modem procedures and techniques of resource acquisition, management, control and decisionmaking; individual and group motivation and decision-making techniques; and in individual skills and interests. President Lockwood said of the program, "We are committed to having a management capability in this institution that will allow us to deliver the best possible educational, research and public service activities in the most effective - way. We-b-eliev e that this program can significantly increase our capability to do this." ¡

TRINITY ALIVE THIS SUMMER! Theatre And Dance Workshops, Chamber Music, Professional Theatre, Carillon Concerts, Film Series To Be Featured

GOOD SKATE ON CAMPUS QUAD lasted for a number of days during January after a hard ice storm coated six inches of snow already on the ground with a solid layer of hockey quality ice. Photograph above appeared in The Hartford Courant.

Major Figures Visit Campus Two prominent authorities were on campus to talk with and to the students early in February. The annual Mead Lecture in political science was delivered by former Ambassador to Japan Edwin 0 . Reischauer. Dr. Reischauer, who has been university professor at Harvard since 1966, has written extensively on U.S. Asian policy and has written detailed studies of the T'ang dynasty in China. The lectures in economics, political science and history are presented through the bequest of George J. Mead, Hon. '37. Nobel Prize winner Sir John C. Eccles,

the Phi Beta Kappa Bicentennial Visiting Scholar, spent several days on campus and delivered two lectures. One, titled "The Brain and Conscious Experience," was designed for the students and general public, and the second talk, "Conscious Memory," was more technical and scientific. His research relates to the problems of communication in the vertebrate nervous system. The first to apply intracellular recording to neurones in the central nervous system, he received the Nobel Prize for his discoveries of the nature of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic action on nerve cells.

For the first time in the eleven-year history of the Austin Arts Center at Trinity College, a resident theatre company will offer a seven-week season of professional theatre, June 14 through July 31, under the artistic direction of Roger Shoemaker, assistant professor of theatre arts. The Summerstage is part of a program backed by the College designed to open the campus to the community, and will be supplemented by the ongoing carillon concerts, the chamber music series and the Trinity Film Society summer series. The Festival, called TRINITY ALIVE, was instigated by Ivan Backer, director of graduate studies and community education, who secured a grant in July 1976 from the Connecticut Commission on the Arts, to study the feasibility of such a program. With a favorable prognosis in hand, the College approved in midDecember. In conjunction With the Festival, aspects of the program college credit workshops will be offered in theatre and dance with George Nichols III, professor of theatre arts and Judy Dworin, assistant professor of dance. On February 1, Nancy Fletcher, former promotion director for the Hartford Civic Center Shops and active volunteer arts publicist, was hired to coordinate the project. She and John Woolley, Technical

Director of the Austin Arts Center, are currently exploring the possibility of children's theatre, Peace Train appearances, dance concerts, art exhibits and recitals. The Trinity-sponsored community programs, Upward Bound and Summer Arts will also be involved with the project. Subscriptions for the summer theatre will be available. For ticket or program information, call527-8062.

Dr. Brown Bequest Totals $500,000 Dr. Karl F. Brown, West Hartford optometrist who died at age 97 on June 21, 1976, has made an unrestricted bequest of $500,000 to the College. Dr. Brown, who was not an alumnus of Trinity, had made other gifts to the College prior to his demise, including the large pair of gates on Broad Street near the Field House which were dedicated in 1973. Dr. Brown was born in Syracuse, N.Y. and lived in the Hartford area for 74 years. He opened his first office in downtown Hartford in 1906 and maintained the business for 45 years.

In A Talk To Parents President Lockwood Answers: Preliminary Model Showing Proposed Library Expansion to Rear Of Present Building.

"Why Can't Education Be As Efficient As General Motors? With the recent release of the Financial Report of the Treasurer of the College for the year 1975-76 it seems appropriate to give wider currency to a portion of the remarks President Lockwood addressed to the parents of Trinity students at the annual parents' dinner late in the fall. The report of Treasurer Robert A. Pedemonti noted that in fiscal1976 "the College completed its sixth consecutive year operating in the black . . . . It is gratifying to note that, as of this writing, our projections for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1977, indicate another successfully balanced year." Dr. Lockwood titled this segment of his talk to parents "Why Can't Education Be As Efficient As General Motors?" His response is below.

Pew Memorial Trust Announces Grant To Aid Major Library Expansion Trinity has been awarded a $100,000 grant by the Pew Memorial Trust to assist in the financing of a major building expansion of the Library. Referring to the gift, President Theodore D. Lockwood said, "Clearly, this grant provides a tremendous impetus to our current Capital Campaign and will be instrumental in funding our Library construction project." Total construction costs for expansion of the Library are estimated at $2,500,000. The Pew Memorial Trust, one of several charitable trusts established by the Pew family of Pennsylvania, was created in 1948 in memory of Joseph N . Pew, founder of Sun Oil Company, and his wife, Mary Anderson Pew.

The major addition to the Library will increase its size by 34,000 square feet and provide, among other things, 250 new seating spaces, shelving for 200,000 more volumes, and an additional 2,650 square feet of work space. President Lockwood said that the Library "has long been regarded as one of the finest , most extensive small college libraries in the country" but that growth of the student body and the increasing size of the book collections has reached the point where an expansion of the present facility is necessary. He noted that new books are being acquired at the rate of 10,000 volumes a year. The total number in the Trinity Library now exceeds 550,000 volumes.

"It is unbecoming to attack a major corporation, but it is irresistible to counter by observing that our charges have not risen as sharply a~ have car prices year by year. Nor do we have to recall recent models! But I will not tarry on that point long enough for anyone to start getting ideas. More seriously, we have always had to contend with the allegation that we never worried about costs and that we are never efficient according to some standard which, in truth, may be as mysterious as the dormitory lottery. "What can we say? First, education is an enterprise whose product is not assembly-line produced, is not designed for obsolescence, and has no fixed price. Those words may carry some comfort, but the trouble is basically that education cannot be compared with industry. Education is labor-intensive as the faculty economists remind me regularly: it is the engagement of older and younger scholars in a process that does not lend itself to efficiency experts, thank goodness. "Second, education is non-profit. That does not mean that we pay no attention to the bottom line. As a matter of fact, Trinity has an almost unique record of running in the black during the recent period when so many institutions showed red ink. Also important is the sustenance supplied by donors. We have long been grateful for the unusual generosity of parents, alumni, and friends of Trinity. Our endowment now provides income annually equal to $1,000 per student and represents nearly $21,000 per student in capital. Another way of looking at the independent sector of higher education, and its contribution to the economy, is to realize that we educate over two million persons at a replacement cost to the taxpayer which President Silber of Boston University calculated at $6 billion annually in operating expenses - plus a potential bill to taxpayers for capital facilities of $18 billion. We are saving the public not only a profit factor; we are saving the taxpayer and parent substantial amounts by our stewardship of past philanthropy. "There is more one can say. If we measure efficiency and cost consciousness by the accuracy with which we forecast budgets and manage money, our record at Trinity is impressive. What company can come within 1% of its projections eighteen months later? We have exercised austerity longer than any profession, and we pass on to the consumer only those increases which are absolutely necessary and which reflect primarily salary increases and price increases imposed on us from outside. The rise in the cost of attending Trinity has been less than the rise in any indice normally used-consumer price index or cost-of-living. "But perhaps most important has been our ability to improve the quality of education during a period of financial readjustment in our entire economy. We have not compressed the metal into thinner layers, or enlarged the hole in the dough-

nut; on the contrary, we have tried to use our dollars to achieve greater effectiveness in fulfilling our academic objectives. And that will continue to be our practice."

Roosa Dr. Roosa, who holds more than 300 patents, is adjunct professor of machine design at Trinity. In 1967 the College awarded him the honorary degree of doctor of science for his original research in diesel fuel injection systems. The Roosa Chair is scheduled for activation early this year and the first incumbent of the professorship will be Dr. Joseph D. Bronzino, professor of engineering at Trinity. Dr. Lockwood said that, in addition to funding the academic chair, the Roosa gift will, for the foreseeable future, provide major support to Trinity's program in biomedical engineering. Eventually, the program could involve other areas of applied science. Trinity's five-year-old program in biomedical engineering is interdisciplinary, involving faculty from engineering, the physical sciences and the life sciences. Students in the program engage in original research and development of technical equipment for use by physicians, hospitals and medical researchers. Recent projects include development of

an electronic device which reliably measures patterns of sleep; development of an implantable device to measure body temperature and heart rate; and development and application of an "eye physiometer" which measures the rate at which radioisotopes are "washed away" from the eye. Commenting on the professorial chair he established, Dr. Roosa said: 'Tve always been impressed by the way Trinity strives to achieve the right balance between knowing and doing. Or, as Dr. Lockwood puts it, 'practical understanding.' I would like to think that this chair in applied science will move the College a bit farther along in that direction ." Some 37 years ago Dr. Roosa originated the Roosa Master Fuel Injection Pump while a young employee of the Greyhound Bus Company in New York City . His invention helped to revolutionize the diesel automotive industry since it provided a more effective diesel fuel pump which i~ widely used on trucks and tractors in the U.S. and on automobiles abroad. Dr. Roosa retired as vice president of research and development at Stanadyne, Inc. in 1969, continuing however to serve that corporation as a research consultant. In addition to serving as adjunct professor of engineering at Trinity, he is busily engaged in his own research facility in West Hartford where, in addition to developing refinements on fuel injection systems, Dr. Roosa is conducting research leading to modifications of the kidney dialysis machine. The new incumbent of the Roosa Chair, Dr. Bronzino, is director of the joint Biomedical Engineering Program of Trinity College and the Hartford Graduate Center. He is co-director of the Clinical Engineering Internship Program at the Hartford and St. Francis Hospitals and is a clinical associate at the University of Connecticut Health Center. Professor Bronzino is also a research associate at the Institute of Living. Bronzino received the bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1959, the M .S. from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School and in 1968 the doctorate from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He is a licensed professional engineer. He joined the faculty in 1968.

Bronzino Ed. Note: We are indebted to Judson M. Rees, director of development, for the following:

The term "Professorial Chair" first appeared in Elizabethan England. In those times, the common people sat on wooden stools, the gentry used cushions on the floor, and even the grandest room in a nobleman's castle could seldom boast more than a single chair. Accordingly, when a man in academic life was raised to the position of "Professor," and his teaching and research were sponsored by some monarch or generous nobleman, he was indeed presented with an actual chair, as a symbol of his elevated status in the world of learning. From the very beginnings of private education, special distinction has also been accorded to the benefactors who sponsored Professorial Chairs. More than 200 years ago, Thomas Hollis, a London merchant, endowed at Harvard the first Professorial Chair in America. Trinity has also respected this scholarly tradition, establishing its first Chair in 1837 in honor of Samuel Seabury, Jr., who- played a leading role in the founding of the College. Since than, eighteen additional Chairs have been created at Trinity, including now the Vernon D. Roosa Professorship of Applied Science.

1977 REUNION DATES

The following dates have been announced for class reunions this year which fall on the weekend of the Williams game. OCTOBER 7, 8, 9 Classes of 1932, 1937, 1942, 1952, 1957, 1962, 1967 and 1972

Kurz, Waterman, Chamberlain Elected To Board of Fellows

Chair of Applied Science Established by Roosa Bronzino Named Incumbent Vernon D. Roosa, noted inventor and industrial designer, has contributed funds to establish a professorial chair of applied science. In announcing the professorship, President Lockwood said: "We are proud to establish this chair in honor of Vernon D . Roosa. It is especially fitting that Dr. Roosa, a distinguished and creative inventor himself, should fund a professorship to encourage practical creativity in others."

OPEN SEMESTER:

''The World On Our Doorstep'' By Jeffrey L. Mandler '77 All colleges in an urban setting have a symbiotic relationship with their environment. A tight interrelationship exists with the city as a whole and with the neighborhoods immediately abutting the campus. Social, cultural and economic strands are intricately interwoven. Trinity is no exception. My experience working within the community strongly suggests that Trinity's ties with the community, while better by far than most city colleges, could be improved by even more cooperation and recognition of our interdependence. One way for students to become active in the Hartford community is to work through the Open Semester Program. This program, operated by Robbins Winslow, dean of educational services, was established to provide work experience for upper class students. Open Semester can be either independent research, study, or an internship with a government or private agency. Although some students participate in the Open Semester in other cities, Hartford provides an excellent atmosphere for the program. As a result of the work done during the Open Semester, students must submit academic material to a faculty advisor in order to attain college credit for their activities. Anyone who has visited Hartford recently cannot fail to notice the changes occurring within the vicinity of Trinity. For example, a degree of urban blight is slowly moving from the Park Street area towards the Trinity community. Some buildings are being deserted or destroyed, and many once stable neighborhoods are undergoing transitional periods. As a consequence, this urban decay is then inevitably experienced on campus as an increase in crime and vandalism. Thus, Trinity cannot remain a refuge from the City of Hartford. The school must become actively involved with its surrounding environment if both the city and the College are to prosper in the future. As a student living off-campus for the past two years, I personally became aware of both the benefits and problems of Hartford. I then sought to utilize my interest in the city and my background gained at Trinity to become involved in the revitalization of our city. I took advantage of the Open Semester in order to help strengthen the bonds between the academic and civic worlds. Consequently, I was later to join the Hartford Architectural Conservancy (HAC) for the fall semester of 1976 under this program. The Hartford Architectural Conservancy is a non-profit organization involved in historic preservation. They attempt to revitalize specific areas by renovating buildings of distinction in that area. In this way they provide tangible examples for other property owners as to the feasibility of renovation. Often HAC also provides the needed impetus to encourage neighborhood stabilization. HAC works in conjunction with the City Planning Department and they are in part, funded by this agency. They first began their efforts three years ago in the south Main Street area of Hartford. It was here that HAC successfully convinced the City of Hartford to renovate the 19th century buildings around Congress Street rather than proceed with the original plans to level almost a three block radius. Although HAC is still deeply involved in the stabilization of the south Main Street area near the Colt Mansion, their activities have also focused recently ~

on the Park Street area of Hartford Trinity's backyard. When I first joined HAC, I was given the rather tedious job of surveying every house in the Park Street area. I would spend entire days walking around the neighborhood with my pencil and paper marking interesting buildings, noticing new landmarks, and detailing buildings of architectural merit. From this constant contact with the community, I was able to begin to understand both the people and some of the immediate problems that the neighborhood was experiencing. At first I was nervous walking up and down streets where groups of men were congregated and where the buildings were burnt down or decaying. Yet, I soon found that most of the people, ranging from the elderly to the children playing football in the street, were interested in my work and were grateful that they were at least receiving some help from the community. From the survey that was taken, I proceeded to work with specialists in the HAC office on proposals for the improvement of Park Street. These people included an architectural historian, an architect, and a draftswoman. We were also in consultation with the City Planning Department, local engineers and builders. After conducting the survey, I delved into the history of the area to uncover the distinct character of the past environment in order to relate it to the present. We then sought to unite the traditional makeup of the area with the current demands for change by formulating a plan that would encourage future stabilization. The conclusions we reached were based on interacting considerations of architectural restoration and economic and social revitalization. It would be difficult to discuss the details of the proposal in this short article. What is important to note, however, is that feasible recommendations are possible and current efforts should continue in both the private and public sectors, so that the Trinity neighborhood can continue to be upgraded and improved. In order to spur the improvement of

Trinity's environment, future actions by students need to be encouraged. The Open Semester is one road available to students who are seeking an alternative from the normal classroom experience. It offers the student both a working and learning experience which unites Trinity's academic atmosphere with the world on our doorstep. Both the student and the community gain from the long term benefits of such a progressive program.

Mandler Jeff Mandler is a history major from Miami whose interest in the Hartford community has grown steadily during his years at Trinity. He has been general manager of the College radio station and currently hosts a talk show titled "Hartford Focus." Jeff plans to stay on in Hartford and pursue a career in community planning.

"Upward Bound" Student Awarded National Scholarship A Hartford "Upward Bound" student at Trinity has been awarded one of a limited number of national schol;lfShips.

New Educational Travel Program Announces First Lecture Trip To Russia With Trinity Faculty Trinity has announced a new program in educational travel designed to provide an in-depth picture of the countries to be visited. The first trip of the series, scheduled to begin on June 5, will be to the Soviet Union. The 22-day visit to Russia will not be a tour in the usual sense. 'We view it as a total educational experience," said Ivan Backer, director of graduate studies and community education at Trinity College. 'Tourists usually skate on the surface without really piercing the facade of a culture. The political and economic structure of Russia are so different from ours that tourists rarely gain insight into its actual meaning." Trinity's program is designed to provide that insight. Before the trip begins, five faculty members who are experts on various aspects of the Soviet Union will conduct lecture-discussions on topics ranging from the patterns of everyday life in Russia to the structure and performance of the Soviet economy. Three faculty members will accompany the group to Russia, participating in seminars and discussions en route. 'The program is not for specialists or professionals," said Backer. "Our trips abroad are for those who want to spend their vacations in a creative way, adding to their understanding of the global society we live in." The major emphases during the trip will be Soviet education and child care; the Soviet economy; Soviet health care; the role and status of Soviet women; and the_role of World War II in determining modem Soviet consciousness. Throughout the tour, seminars and dis- 路 cussions will be held with Soviet workers, executives and officials and experts on the various Soviet cultures, languages and history. Among the cities visited will be Moscow, Bratsk, Irkutsk, Tashkent, Bukhara, Samarkand, Baku, Kiev and Leningrad. Special emphasis will be placed on the differences between family life in Central Asia and in the European portion of the USSR. In Moscow the group will visit the famous art collections from the Tsarist era, as well as the Kremlin's palaces and churches. Three theater performances are scheduled, two in Moscow and one in Leningrad. Giant dams and hydroelectric plants, 400-mile long Lake Baikal (the deepest lake in the world), Bukhara, the oldest city in Central Asia, the summer palace of Peter the Great, all are included in the educational agenda. Also included are visits to health clinics, secondary schools, and factories. Three faculty members who will lecture and accompany the group to Russia are Dr. Robert A. Battis, chairman of the Department of Economics; Dr. Samuel Hendel, Political Science; and Dr. Samuel D. Kassow, History. Pre-travel sessions will also be conducted by Dr. Michael P. Sacks, Sociology; and Dr. James L. West, History. All five are authorities on various aspects of the Soviet Union. The total price of the 22-day tour of the Soviet Union is $2,340. The group is limited to 30 persons. Travel arrangements have been made by the College Office of Community Education in cooperation with the American Express Company. Marendaz Travel Inc. of Hartford is agent for the trip which will depart from Bradley International Airport.

You will be interested to read excerpts from John A. Taylor's (he is director of financial aid at the College) letter about our Class of 1916 memorial scholarship. He writes, "I would like to take this oppo rtunity to thank you on behalf of the College for your continued generous support of our financial aid program . Without gifts such as yours, our ability to extend financial assistance to those unable to afford the full cost of a Trinity education would be greatly diminished . This year's recipients are Francine Kersch '79 of Eastchester, New York, Nancy Barber '77 of Wilton, Connecticut, and Bruce Shea '79 of Quincy, Massachusetts ." As you can see, we are helping two girls and one boy this year. Nothing like this in our day. What a pity. It was through JACK TOWNSEND that I heard about LLOYD MILLER's death . I wish others of you would write as often and as well as Jack. He tells me that he is somewhat plagued with osteoarthritis, so why not write him and tell him to "keep pitchin'" and write some more .

A dearth of news. Your Secretary's daughter, Barbara, was married on September 24 in the Trinity Chapel to Bob Villeeco, and they are now living in Hebron, Connecticut. Only a few 35'ers were visible at the Trin-Wes debacle. Your Secretary chatted with GEORGE (CHAPPlE) WALKER. Also saw SHED McCOOK and gloomed through the 4th quarter with OLLIE JOHNSON. BOB LAU sent in some notes on his life and times. Bob, who seems pretty busy on veterans affairs, is supervisor of education benefits for the New Jersey State Bureau of Veterans Service. He was recently appointed to the Mercer County, New Jersey Educational and Cultural Committee. Bob was also named a member of the New Jersey State Department of American Legion Education-Rehabilitation Committee for '76-'77. Your Secretary has been informed by the College that the WILLIAM HENRY WARNER Scholarship award has been made to Margaret O'Connell '78 of Hamden, Connecticut.

Personal contacts with '37 members have been most infrequent lately - BART WILSON, HARRY SANDERS, and ED LEHAN being the only exceptions. However, two members from 1938 were welcome visitors - BOB BARLOW at the Wesleyan game and JOE ASTMAN, a sudden visitor shortly thereafter. Both were in excellent health and spirits. Your Secretary has now served for two years as educational consultant for Sphere, Inc ., a consortium of 14 independent schools throughout Connecticut which work with underprivileged city youngsters with potential who need academic upgrading. Recently he moved to the above address where he previously spent many pleasant summers. The only drawback is commuting to Hartford almost daily. It's a drag. I know we were all greatly saddened by the recent passing of FRANK HERTEL. This news should strengthen our resolve to make this fall 's 40th reunion a really big gathering of the "Last of the Intellectuals. " More details on this later.

spending the weekend of our reunion moving into their new home in Dover, New Hampshire where he writes they are glad they were able to settle in before winter hit. Another long letter came in recently from TED BARTLETT who continues to keep extremely busy as chief psychologist of Orange Memorial Hospital in Orlando, Florida . Ted also has a small private practice as well. He and his family seem quite pleased with the South, and he writes that they live in a small town set among large and clean lakes in Windermere, Florida. Several months ago there was an article in The New York Times featuring Dr. RICH CARLSON . We can't do justice to either the tenor of the article or some of the attitudes expressed by Rich in a column as short as this, but essentially Rich had committed himself, after finishing medical school, to working primarily with the poor at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx, New York. The article in the Times describes Rich's disillusionment with many of the poor conditions and the lack of attention to medical care which made the hospital a disappointing place for him to work . Editorially, we would like to applaud 路Rich's concern with many of the medical care problems which unfortunately do exist in our country, and we wish him well in his new position at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the North Bronx, New York . We recently saw another interesting newspaper article describing TOM CHAPPELL and the work he's been doing with his own company in Maine. Tom developed and marketed Clear Lake, the first phosphate free detergent in America. Although Clear Lake didn't particularly make it because of the immediate production of other phosphate free detergents by the major companies, Tom's company, Kennebunk Chemical Company, is now the leading seller of "natural" soaps, shampoos, skin lotion, and toothpaste in the country. In addition, we learned from the article that Tom's concern clearly isn't just in the profit margin but that his efforts have gone very forcefully into strengthening the economy of his home state of Maine. His primary product, "Tom's Natural Soap" has been doing well, and we wish Tom continued success . As we look back through past columns, we continue to find that often there are a large number of classmates who have never really been in touch with us since graduation over ten years ago. I think all of us would really enjoy hearing from a lot of you who have been silent and I look forward to hearing from you soon .

During the War he was active in musical recreation direction in this country and in the European Theater of Operations. Upon the completion of hostilities he stayed in France for an academic year to study at the famed Paris Conservatory of Music. Upon his return to this country in 1946, Dr. Barber taught for three years in the music department of Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, attending the Berkshire Music Center choral class of Robert Shaw and the Juilliard School of Music during summers. He next pursued graduate study and teaching at Harvard University, taking the year 1952 abroad for study in France under a U.S. Government grant. While in Paris, Dr. Barber achieved prominence for his work by election to the Societe Francaise de Musicologie, a rare honor for an American musician. He also found time to earn a diploma in organ from the Ecole Normale de Musique and to perform the organ part in the Haydn Society's premiere re-

"PETE" With the death of Clarence H. "Pete" Barber Trinity College lost one of its great characters and an even greater teacher. I knew Pete as a music student and as the President and tenor soloist of the Trinity College Glee Club. I also knew him as a friend. Like many a student I was at first put off by the brilliantly witty and urbane mask that Pete wore with friends and strangers alike. It took me two years, I think, before I really relaxed in his company. By then I had discovered that his mask was a cover-up for an extremely shy, sensitive and generous soul. Pete always seemed to me to be the archetypal Harvard man. He eschewed any sign of faddishness in dress or manner, and he openly mocked faculty members or students who displayed signs of social pretension or the superficial airs of breeding that char11cterized so ll)UCh of Trinity life in the late 1950s. Pete particularly despised the slaphappy hedonism of fraternity life on Vernon Street. Yet, under his direction the Glee Club became a kind of fraternity of its own. The Glee Club consisted mainly of the intellectuals, radicals, social misfits and just plain lovers of singing on the campus. A small number of us were townies. Fewer of us were wealthy. Nonetheless, we had our own form of elitism. During the years I was at Trinity the highest ranking graduating students were all Glee Club members. One year Pete decided that the Phi Beta Kappa members of the Glee Club would compete in the annual Intrafraternity Sing. We performed a Bach cantata conducted by Pete at the harpsichord wearing a white periwig over his bald pate. The Glee Club annual spring tour was undoubtedly the high point of the academic year for all of us. Pete handled these tours with all the flair of a circus ringmaster. One year we even had a real live animal act when a chicken (named, appropriately, "Albert C. Chanticleer" in honurof-the...President) joined us e:n-sta~ for the finale of our program. I remember that no one was more delighted than Pete when, literally on the climactic phrase of the "Trinity Fight Song," the chicken flapped its wings, squawked, and performed a natural function on top of the local rector's grand piano . The most amazing thing about the Glee Club was that the performance of great

music was really the core of our interest. Of course, tours and campus concerts were always leavened with spirituals, folk songs and assorted smoker favorites. But we also performed masterpieces such as the Brahms Requiem, the Faure Requiem, the Haydn Lord Nelson Mass and the War Requiem by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Singing these works with the women's choruses of schools like Vassar, Wellesley, Smith and Connecticut College remain among the very rich musical experiences of my life. I still listen to the recordings of those concerts with pleasure and pride. Pete's conducting style reminded one of nothing so much as an awkward bird flapping its wings in a frantic effort to lift a great unwieldy body skyward. Somehow Pete breathed a personal life into almost every piece of music he touched. Alternately cajoling or threatening (his baleful glare at tremulous tenor entrances is burned indelibly into my memory). Pete coaxed the best out of us and in the process transmitted to us his own love of art at its finest. The kindness of Pete was legendary to those who knew him well. He bought me sheet music and records that I could ill afford and saw to it that my musical, intellectual and cultural horizons were broadened by his personal counsel and example. I used to call upon Pete during visits back to Hartford , my hometown. I don't recall when he gave up the Glee Club directorship, but I feel that he deeply missed the contact with live music-making. I particularly found him embittered by some of the "educational reforms" at Trinity during the sixties . "Imagine, " he once growled, "they want me to teach Nietzsche when they haven't even heard much less studied Wagner." Pete rarely talked about himself as a musician or teacher. He didn't have to: he embodied standards of excellence, Pete's example of rigorous precision, intellectual elegance, excellence, wit r catholicity of taste, human compassion and many more qualities of mind and heart than I can name made a more profound and lasting impression upon me than any teacher I have ever known.

February / March 1977

Only five of Trinity's 13 winter athletic teams began their schedules in the short December portion of the winter season. The beginning of the second semester will bring a heavy slate of action for all sports as Bantam athletes seek to uphold the Trinity tradition in New England and national athletic competition.

TRINITY SPORTS ROUNDUP Senior center Sandy Weedon is the leading scorer through Trinity's first five games, collecting ten points on six goals and four assists. Junior co-captains Hank Finkenstaedt and Tom Lenahan are close behind in the scoring race with nine and eight points respectively. A pleasant surprise has been freshman winger Bob Plumb who has contributed four goals and two assists to the Bantam cause. Ted Walkowicz '79 and Frank Judson '77 have shared the goalkeeper position with comparable success. Walkowicz played extremely well in the Bryant game, making 53 saves. Looking ahead to the remainder of the season the Bantam pucksters find tough competition in New Haven, UConn, Amherst, Babson, and Bryant, but they have the talent and enthusiasm to finish up in fine form .

BASKETBALL

, ALEXANDER WEEDON '77 is top scorer for the Trinity hockey team through the first five games of its 1976-77 schedule. Weedon has scored six goals and handed out four assists for the Bantam skaters.

HOCKEY The hockey team has looked good so far this season, compiling a 3-2 record after less than one-fourth of its 22-game schedule. This early season performance gives Trinity an optimistic feeling about the final record that will come out of this its third varsity season. Coach John Dunham is quite pleased with the way his team has played to date. The Bantam skaters opened their season by beating Assumption 7-5 at the Glastonbury Arena. A solid 8-3 defeat of arch-rival Wesleyan upped the Trinity record to 2-0, but successive losses to Amherst (6-2) and Bryant (5-4 in overtime) marred the undefeated slate. The losses were not a surprise as Amherst and Bryant, a Division II competitor, are powerful teams. The blue-and-gold closed the first segment of its season on a positive note by beating Bentley, five goals to three.

The varsity basketball team heads into the second part of its 20-game schedule with a record of two wins and three losses. The hoopsters opened the season at home with a 60-47 win over MIT. Two nights later Brandeis visited Hartford to take on the Bantams. Trailing by 18 at halftime, Trinity played a strong second half only to fall one point short as the Judges took an 87-86 victory. This disappointing loss lingered in the minds of the Trinity hoopsters as their play was dismal in a 75-62loss to Amherst.

JUNIOR CENTER BRENT CAWEL TI (30) scores an easy two points during this year's Invitational Tourney. Cawelti leads the Bantams in rebounds and is the second leading scorer. gain possession of both tournament assist records. Junior forward Arthur Blake was named to the All-Tourney team. Blake has been the big gun for the 197677 hoopsters, averaging 21.6 points in the first five games. He has been the high point man for the Bantams in each game. Center Brent Cawelti '78 is averaging 14.6 points and 11.6 rebounds per game, while McBride hands out 8.0 assists in each contest. The JV basketball team, under first year head coach Rayfield Perkins '73, has been involved in two games so far, both of them of the "nail biter" variety. An 8786 loss to perennial prep power St. Thomas More Academy was followed up by a 73-70 double overtime win over Amherst. The women's basketball team, in its second varsity season, stands as the only undefeated Trinity team on the strength of its 49-36 win over MIT. Their offensive

punch is provided by junior center Nancy McDermott who was last year's leading scorer with a 19.6 average. The women hoopsters are a young team with eight freshmen and only two seniors. They are on their way to improving upon the 6-5 record of 1975-76.

WRESTLING The only other Trinity team to see action in December was the varsity wrestling squad, who dropped a 40-9 decision to WPI. The team looks stronger than ever this year with excellent leadership from senior co-captains Dave Coratti, who placed fourth in last year's New England tournament, and Rob Friedman, who sat out last year with an injury. With tough competition awaiting them in January and February, the Bantam grapplers may be hurt by their one weakness, a lack of depth in all weight classes.

ARTHUR BLAKE '78 steps the Trinity basketball team with an average of 21.6 points per game. Blake has been the high scorer for Trinity in each of its games. He was named to the AU-Star team for the 1976 Trinity-UHartford Invitational Tournament.

TOM LENAHAN '78 (21) leads the highscoring first line of the Trinity hockey team from his center position. Here Lenahan, a co-captain of the team, moves the puck to begin the Bantam attack.

The 1976 Trinity-UHartford Invitational Tournament took place at the Ferris Athletic Center on December 10 and 11. Trinity lost its opening round game to Wesleyan 67-57, but rebounded in the consolation game to wallop a strong Central Connecticut team, 103-93, to finish third. Hartford, who beat Central 79-78 in the opening round, slipped past Wesleyan 65-62 to take the title for the fifth time in the seven-year history of the tournament. The victory over Central was a big one for the Bantams. It was the first time they played well as a team for the entire 40 minutes and hopefully it will be a positive note on which to build a successful season. Trinity guard Paul McBride '78 collected 12 assists in the Central game and a total of 19 in the tournament to

OUTSIZED AND OUTSCORED, The Trinity women's basketball team had a tough time against Yale. Guards Priscilla Williams '77 (left) and Lanier Drew '80 (43) appear overmatched as they attempt to prevent Yale from moving the ball inside. Final score: Yale 56-Trinity 45.
