From the President hen I arrived at Trinity, I was committed and empowered to ensu re that, in the city our college calls home, Trinity would be an active and responsible citizen and a leader in pursuit of progress. Trinity has always recognized and valued its special place and its responsibility in the life of this city. We know that the long-term vitality of Hartford and Trinity are linked. Our setting in this historic city is a great educational asset, but we recognize that because of perceptions and concerns regarding neighborhood deterioration and safety particularly, our city setting is also a problem for Trinity from a recruitment and admissions point of view . Trinity has been working collaboratively with community groups, institutional partners, and government officials to give form and substance to the vision for neighborhood revitalization which I articulated in my inaugural address last October. We have developed, explored and proposed ideas and have so ught partners who wo uld impl em ent the best ideas in a collaborative effort. In j anuary, the Coll ege announced a comprehensive and collaborative neighborhood revi talization strategy for the area surrounding Trinity's campus. Yo u will read quite a bit about it in this issue of The Reporter and may already have seen or heard mention of it in the media. The strategy reflects an extraordinary coalition among groups that share both a stake in the future of this area and a commitment to its renewal. Trinity's role in this effort has been as champion of change and catalyst for actio n . We have no desire to become a developer, nor do we intend to become a financier. In support of our neighborhood initiative, we have aggressively and successfully sought private partnerships and government funds to leverage the institu tional investment which the College with the strong endorsem ent of the Board of Trustees- is planning to make. The economic impact of these initiatives, on our neighborhood and the city, w ill be profound and long-lasting. While our institutional mission and the responsibility for social engineering do not irltersect, it is entirely appro priate - and indeed necessary - that Trinity be a partner in pursuit of change in Hartford and that we commit resources to support our goals. There is other good news to report. H artford, w ith Trinity College as the educational partner and sponsor, has been selected as the site for the vice presidential debate , to be held in the Hartford Civic Center on October 2. This represents an enormous victory for our city and a wonderful opportunity for Trinity. On the admissions front, I'm excited to report that freshman applications, as of mid-February, were at an all-time high and up 25% relative to last year's to tal applications . While other colleges, including many peer institutions, also have seen increases, preliminary comparative data indicate that Trinity's surge has outpaced the competition by a healthy margin. The College exceeded its year- end goal of being at the halfway mark in our $100 million comprehensive fund-raising campaign. We are particularly grateful for the strong support of so many faithful alumni/ ae. While we are encouraged by the progress to date, we are not resting on our laurels; mu ch hard work remains to be done. The capital campaign w ill protect our ability to attract the best and brightest and most diverse student body possible, and will assure our ability to recruit and retain the very best fac ulty and promote scholarship on our campus. T he College undoubtedly has one of the finest faculties at any American liberal arts coiJ ege. You w ill read about just a few ofTrinity's excellent teachers in this issue. Our faculty strike the righ t balance between teaching and scholarship. They work especially hard and in innovative ways to challenge and inspire students and to connect with their deepest interests and gifts. I hope that, as you read abou t our initiatives and o ur exceiJent teaching, you will share my excitement about Trinity today and the confidence w ith which we are marching forward.

Represents $17 5 Million New Investment in Hartford

Trinity Neighborhood Initiative to Create Community of Learning I

n January Trinity announced a comprehensive neighborhood revitalization initiative for the neighborhoods surrounding the campus . The plan, which represents a $175-million investment in Hartford, w ill generate approximately $100 million in new construction and development and is supported by Fannie Mae, which has earmarked $75 million in new lowrate mortgage financing for people who buy homes in the area. The initiative, w hich will create an infrastru cture for local famili es and link neighborhood institutions in an unprecedented collaboration , is designed to establish the neighborhoods surrounding Trinity as a central hub of educational, health and family support activities. It represents a global neighborhood equation that includes an educational component spanning grades K-12 and a science component focusing on health and technology. Three new schools, a new health and technology center, an early childhood and family resource center, and a boys and girls club are to be established in the target area. The initi ative also calls for the wiring of the neighborhood to connect major institutions and provide residential units access to computer networks and educational resources. "We have formed an extraordinary partnership between major health and educational institutions, the public and private sectors, city, state and federal government, and community and neighborhood groups that share a stake in the future of this area and are committed to its revitalization," said Trinity President Evan S. Dobelle. A key element of the initiative is the development of a new Allied Health

and Technology Center on a vacant site near Trinity's campus. This handson science laboratory will be a collaborative effort involving five institutions in the area: Trinity, Hartford Hospital, the Connecticut C hildren's Medical Center, the Institute of Living, and Connecticut Public Television (CPTV). Trinity and the three medical institutions are partners in the Southside Institutions Neighborhood Alliance (SINA) . The Allied Health and Technology Center will include a hands-on laboratory , major exhibits, exhibit construction and a research division. T he initial focus will be in the areas of health, physiological sciences and sports performance, robotics, biomedical engineering and the Internet/World Wide Web . Home ownership is another key element. "Fannie Mae welcomes the opportunity to supp ort the $75 million housing component of this com- , prehensive targeted neighborhood plan. This maj or step by Trinity, and the commitment of its SINA partners and the City to home ownership in these neighborhoods, is critical to th e revitalization of Hartford," said Robert Kantor, director of the Fannie Mae Hartford Partnership Office . "The effort by Trinity fits neatly w ith our . HouseHartford plan which is based on linking housing to community economic development initiatives." This Fannie Mae commitment represents a second commitment to Hartford in less than a year. "The goal is to stabilize the neighborhoods from within," said Dobelle. "Our focus is on children and education, and the real key is home ownership and families with a vested interest

in the survival of their neighborhoods. This is not about gentrification but rather about the difficult task of community-building, and we will use an approach that is inclusive, not condescending." The three schools encompassed in the plan are a Montessori magnet elementary school, fully funded by an existing state appropriation; a H artford Middle School, fully funded by city bond funds; and a middle and/ or high sch ool science and math resource center. T h e sp ecific program for the latter school and regional resource center is being developed in collaboration with area school superintendents. The Allied Health and Technology Center will be financed with existing public financing (federal, state and municipal) bolstered by an institutional commitment from the SINA partners. Of CPTV's participation in the collaborative effort, Do belle said, "We have an extraordinary opportunity to estabbsh Hartford as the national leader in distance learning for science and mathematics." An example of specific initiatives under discussion is the linking of CPTV channels directly into the new Allied Health and Technology Center, creating a statewide in-school network. According to CPTV President Jerry Franklin, programming would originate at the new center and w ould be distributed to all K-12 schools in the state via CPTV's Knowledge Network. Development plans for thes e synergistic initiatives are focused primarily in the block bounded by Vernon Street, Brownell Avenue, Trinity's campus and the hospitals on Washington Street.

EDITORIALS

A grand exatnple of thinking big he $175 million redevelopment of part of the Frog Hollow neighborhood proposed by Trinity College, Hartford Hospital, the Institute of Living, the Connecticut Children's Medical Center and Connecticut Public Television is a grand example of thinking big. On the drawing board are three new public schools, job guarantees linked to education, a health and technology research facility, an early childhood and family resource center, a boys and girls club, scattered-site public housing and homeownership opportunities. The revitalization would take place in a 15-square-block area surrounding the former Connecticut Transit yard on Vern on Street. It's the kind of innovation that could spell the difference between continued urban decay and revival. And the initiative could help to ensure Trinity's future as one of the pre-eminent liberal arts colleges in America. Its reputation now is that of a good school in a troubled neighborhood. It has affected the college 's competitiveness. This plan would make Trinity's urban location a plus. The area between the campus and CPTV's headquarters and the medical complex to the east is "fast becoming a neighborhood with nothing to lose and that becomes a dangerous neighborhood," Trinity President Evan Dobelle says.

The five institutional partners want to change that, not only in their own self interest, but for the good of everyone who lives or works there. This vision of a reborn, integrated community should be supported by all those who want the city and its renowned institutions to prosper. Putting all the pieces together will be tough. Various components of the plan rely heavily on public funding and a seemingly endless approvals process. Although much of the money is in place, not all is. But the plan put forward by the sponsors - which collectively are called the Southside Institutions Neighborhood Alliance - are achievable, given the right leadership. Money for the $18 million Montessori-style regional elementary magnet school and a $25 million Hartford middle school already has been approved by public agencies. Some $75 million in federal mortgage and home renovation subsidies is virtually guaranteed, as is several million dollars to be contributed by the SINA partners. City and state officials should cooperate in every possible way. This could be one of the best opportunities in years to turn Hartford around. "My attitude is that Hartford is our last name," says Trinity's Mr. Dobelle. That attitude will yield dividends to the college, the other institutions and their host city as well.

Hartford Mayor Mike Peters praised Trinity President E.van Dobel/e as a new leader in Hartford. "As I said at Evan's inauguration in October, 'Go Trinity! Go Hartford!' Now, 90 days later, Evan has stepped to the plate and hit a home run. This is magnificent for the city. The city needs doers."

Hartford Mayor Mike Peters illustrates President Dobelle's point that Hartford is "Trinity's last name."

Governor John G. Rowland: "I'm proud to be governor of a state t hat is home to historic institutions like Trinity that are prepared to step forward to make a difference for our cities." John O'Connell, member of Hartford's City Council, said of the initiative: "It is unprecedented for the nonprofit sector to take this kind of leadership role and put its time, effort and money where its mouth is. This is why I'm prepared to stand by Trinity and a president who knows how to get things done."

Robert Kantor, director of the Fannie Mae Hartford Partnership Office, said: "Fannie Mae welcomes the opportunity to support the $75 million housing component of this comprehensive targeted neighborhood plan. This major step by Trinity, and the commitment of its SINA partners and the City to home ownership in these neighborhoods, is critical to the revitalization of Hartford. The effort by Trinity fits neatly with our HouseHartford plan which is based on linking housing to community economic development initiatives."

In Washington, D.C., Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Assistant Secretary Michael Stegman praised Trinity and its partners. "HUD has been committed to this idea ever since Evan Dobelle first presented it to Secretary Cisneros. We see , Trinity's college partnership as a model for economic development in cities across the country. We are comJose Perez, executive mitted to providing the director of SINA, said: full level of support "President Dobelle has necessary to see the listened to us and project succeed, particuworked with us.

Raymond Evan has taken us from jordan of HUD's Hartan incremental apford office said, "What proach - building one Trinity is doing here with house at a time - to building a community." this project is jumpstarting Hartford."

At a recent press conference on campus, President Dobelle talks with Congresswoman Barbara Kennelly M'71.

1916-1995 George Brinton Cooper, Northam Professor of History emeritus, scholar, and lover of all things British, has been in the thoughts of alumni and colleagues at Trinity since his death in October at age 79. In remembrances offered extemporaneously at an October 28 memorial service, and in tributes ofprose and poetry, son1e accompanying this article, Cooper's inimitable style, his elegant and incisive lectures, his wit and intellect, have been recalled and celebrated. The tributes honor one ofTrinity's best-loved teachers, one whose words and ideals are a precious legacy to former students and friends.

One of Cooper's greatest strengths as a teacher was his skill at drawing accessible historical comparisons and at relating lecture topics to the current social and political context, according to Professor of History Borden Painter '58, a former student and subsequent colleague of Cooper's at Trinity. "He was always able to make current connections without wandering off the topic. I was taking one of his courses in the fall of 1956 and I still remember his remarks about the Soviet invasion of H ungary and

the British and French intervention that triggered the Suez crisis." While he often inspired future historians, Cooper's impact extended to those not predisposed to the study of

Cooper's m emory for names and faces was also legendary. Cooper typically asked the students in his very large courses to sit in the same seats for the first three classes of each semester. After that, he rarely forgot a student's name or fac e-even after a lapse of decades. "He had an enormously retentive m emory," recalls former President James F. English, Jr. Hon. '89. He knew all of his students and he kept up with people. When I traveled with George to alumni events, the alumni were eager to see him. He knew them all by name and had wonderful reminiscences of them." During the 1940s and 1950s, Cooper lived on campus, and, throughout his career, h e spent a remarkable amount of time talking with students. Every day he was in the campus coffee

At the end of my first year I told the head of the history department that I found our ignorance of Canada and Mexico appalling. H e told me to start a course for the next year. I went to the libraries at Harvard, Dartmouth, and the University of New Hampshire to no avail. I called George in desperation. He told me to wait a minute (actually 3-4), and when he returned he outlined to me what I needed to cover in both courses, what texts and supplemental texts to use. He also said he would send some books to help me prepare. I secured a medium size box ofbooks which were most helpful I am still amazed at his knowledge of all history, and so many things.

TEACHING

" Professor Cooper had an enormous formative influence on m e during my sophomore year at Trinity, when I took his celebrated British History course. His lectures - always delivered extemporaneously and with effortless erudition - were equal parts education and entertainment. His two-semester course was the highlight of my year, and to this day remains my favorite course at Trinity. As a result ofhis contagious Anglophilia (and, truth be told, an infatuation I had at the time with Diana Rigg of The Avengers) I decided to take my Junior Year Abroad in England.

During class, I found myself taking notes not on the royal line of succession, but instead transcribing his many pithy asides and bans mots that were peppered throughout his lectures. At some point during the course (probably near finals, to bolster my sagging performance on mid-terms), I collected his quotes into a mimeographed booklet, "The Collected Witticisms and Aphorisms of George Brinton Cooper." [a portion of which is printed with this story] Although it circulated in the underground before classes, it was with som e trepidation that I finally presented it to him. It turned out he was delighted with the tribute, and in fac t asked me to make additional copies to distribute to his colleagues and friends. A quick survey of some of his memorable quotes will indelibly convey what a pleasure it was to

attend his lectures and to learn from him." David Seltzer '7 4 Philadelphia, Pa.

"I was sadden ed to read of the death of George Cooper. ...To me he epitomized the ideal of the college professor. H e could stand before the class and deliver an interesting and comprehensive lecture with passion and without the need for notes. He knew his subject and was able to present the many perspectives of each event. I was totally absorbed each class. There should be more professors like him. H e was a treat." Abby Huntoon '73 Portland, Maine "G eorge Cooper always cared deeply for his students, especially the development of their intellect. 'Books,' Cooper rather hissed one day. 'The only way to learn is through booksss,' as if his stringing out the plural 's' would get us to read more of them. ... Coop er always received among the very best reviews at Trinity from his students . 'Cooper is super!' raved <;me. So I suppose the only thing we can do to appropriately review his life is to remember him and his teaching legacy the way he remembered us: permanently, respectfully, and, yes, even affectionately. Goodbye, Professor Cooper. You continue to live in literally generations of Trinity students." James A. Shapiro '81 Chicago, Ill.

xcellence in teaching on the part of Trinity's faculty has been a hallmark of Trinity College from generation to generation. One of the College's most clistinguished and revered teachers during the first half of the 20th century was Harry Todd Costello, Brownell Professor of Philosophy. Known affectionately as "Butch," Professor Costello taught an estimated 2000 students during his long career at Trinity. His courses in the history of philosophy, social ethics and the history of scientific ideas were popular and highly regarded, but Dr. Costello is perhaps best remembered for his Books for a College Student's Reading, that appeared in five eclitions - the first in 1925, the last in 1958. This extensive annotated guide attempted to survey the best literature in all areas of inquiry considered fundamentally important in broadening the undergraduate's intellectual horizons , and was widely noted for its breadth and diversity. The guide reflected Dr. Costello's boundless reading and served as the foundation for a general reading course. Dr. Costello was born in Richmond, Indiana on November 1, 1885 . Following education in the public schools, he attended Earlham College, receiving his B.A. degree in 1908. He then entered Harvard University's graduate school, which was at that time experiencing a "Golden Age " in the field of philosophy. There Costello studied under such stellar figures as William J ames, Josiah Royce, George Santayana and George Herbert Palmer. After receiving his doctorate from Harvard in 1911 , Dr. Costello went to the University ofParis where he pursued advanced work

with Henri Bergson. He subsequently returned to Harvard as an instructor and assistant to the British philosopher, Bertrand Russell. Then followed teaching positions at Yale (1 914-1915) and at Columbia (19151920), where his department chair w as John Dewey. In 1920 Dr. Costello came to Trinity and served on the faculty until his retirement in 1956. He held visiting professorships at the University of California in 1922 and at H arvard in 1930. Among Dr. Costello's students over the years, 12 became heads of philosophy departments at colleges or universities. A member of several learned soci-

eties, he contributed articles, essays and books to the literature of philosophy. Among his books are A Philosophy of the Real and the Possible (1954), which contains the series of Woodbridge Lectures he delivered at Columbia in 1952, and josiah Royce's Seminar, published posthumously in 1963. For many years he was book editor for the Journal of Philosophy, and as a member of the Faculty Library Committee he brought his broad knowledge ofbooks to the selection process in an advisory capacity. In recognition ofDr. Costello's many accomplishments and his devotion to the world of books, his friends established the Harry Todd Costello Book Fund for the Trinity College Library upon his retirement. Dr. Costello habitually summered in Indiana, but during the academic year he lived in Seabury 22, at that time one of the last faculty apartments to remain in the Long Walk complex. His bachelor quarters have long since been converted to offices, but in the latter years of his life they gave rise to another nickname he enjoyed, "The Sage ofSeabury." It

was there that he quietly passed away on January 25, 1960. Down-to-earth and unassuming, Dr. Costello frequently attended lectures and other activities on campus, including sports events. He was a great fan ofbaseball with an encyclopedic knowledge of teams and statistics. But football also interested him, and he could usually be found in the bleachers at home or away games, w atching the action intently. Former Vice President of the College Albert Holland '34 once recalled that at a Wesleyan-Trinity game in Middletown, Dr. Costello found himself seated behind the parents of one of the Bantams' players. He overheard them observe that they hoped Coach Dan Jessee wouldn't put their son in at the beginning of the ga,me because the boy would be too nervous. Dr. Costello quietly made his way to the Trinity bench and was seen to whisper in the Coach's ear. At the kickoff the boy in question received the ball, fumbled, and the Wesleyan recovery resulted in a touchdown which ultimately cost Trinity the game. Dr. Costello later observed that "Coaches won't listen to philosophers." Dr. Costello was a devoted teacher and intriguing lecturer. An unattributed story serves to demonstrate his style. While lecturing to his class in the history of philosophy, he sought to convey ;the true meaning of the Hindu Brahma by striking the blackboard a vigorous blow with his fist and exclaiming, "This is Brahma!" He then struck the lectern in similar fashion , and also a book, each time proclaiming, "This is Brahma!" As a final demonstration of his point he struck his chest, but did so with such violence that he suffered a prolonged fit of coughing. The class had to be dismissed, now fully .comprehending the meaning of Brahma. Inspired teaching by Dr. Costello, and so many professors at Trinity over the years, gives credence to the College's core mission and vitality to the learning of generations of students.

oanHedrick BY LESLIE VIROSTEK

~an Hedrick's first teaching

experience at Trinity College in 1981 was something of a sink or swim situation. A faculty member had gone on emergency medical leave several weeks into the term. Hedrick came in, new to the cormnunity, using someone else's reading list and teaching someone else's students, and she made it work. A few years later she became coordinator of women's studies, a position that did not exist before her arrival. She is now a highly respected member of the history department and a role model for junior faculty members, director of a flourishing women's studies program, and a popular teacher whose introductory course, many students say, changed their lives. Last April, Hedrick won a Pulitzer Prize for her critical biography of Harriet Beecher Stowe. "She was a locally famous teacher long before she became a famous scholar," says Eugene Leach, chair of the history department. Her students say that whether in a close-knit senior seminar or in a lecture hall of 50 students, Hedrick "makes

you feel she's talking to you." Hedrick is willing to stay 10 or 15 minutes after class to continue a discussion or explain something more fully to a student on the edge of grasping a concept or theory, and the long

lines outside her door during office hours are evidence that students want to talk to her on a wide range of subjects . Accessible, charismatic, an energetic speaker and an active listener, she's been known to turn a large class into a TV talk show format for a day, with one student in the role of the talk show "host," scrambling around the room to take questions and comments from the "audience" while two other students play the "guests" with opposing points of view.

From such a teacher was born a book that spawned great expectations: colleagues, who had watched it develop over 10 long years, read it and were sure it would be nominated for a prize. Students, who had admired their demanding professor-an extremely tough paper graderwanted to see what happened when the standard-bearer's writing was held under the microscope. Reviewed on the front page of the New York Tirnes Book Review, as well as in the 1\lew Yorker magazine, Harriet Beecher Stowe: A Life lived up to everyone's expectations. Hedrick, who earned her bachelor's degree in English from Vassar and her doctorate in American studies from Brown, published her first book in 1982, called Solitary Comrade: Jack London and His Work, which required flying out to California to do research. This first book experience helped determine two things: that Hedrick liked biography as a form, and that the next one would be researched and developed closer to home. In the Stowe Center, Stowe Library and other local resources, H edrick found "a gold mine."

TEACHERS

TEACHING

The wealth of resources available is evident in the thorough and detailed book, but, as Barbara Sicherman, Trinity's William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor in American Institutions and Values, points out, it's not simply an additive work. Hedrick, says Sicherman, brought "intellectual order" to the subject as well as talent as a writer. Sicherman says, "She's taken very complex themes and made them accessible to a broad audience." One of those themes describes the development of American literature, which began as an amateur parlor pastime practiced by many women, to a full-fledged profession practiced by men. Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin was published in 1852 as an immediate national and international best seller. It has been translated into 63 languages. By any standard, says H edrick, it was "one of the world's most influential books." Yet, by the 1860s and 1870s, reviewers, who were male, were already calling it melodramatic and sentimental, anything but "great art." The concept of high culture was just developing, and in the new aesthetic, the moral themes and purposes of women's writing were devalued. H edrick says one thing that drew her to the subj ect was the "great discrepancy between the wonderful reputation that Harriet Beecher Stowe enjoyed in the 19th century and the disrepute in which she was held during the 20th." Hedrick points out that "Women got in on the ground floor of American literature, and I had never read that in any literary history. Women were instrumental in shaping American literature, but I had never

read that." Back w hen Joan Hedrick graduated from her high school in Ohio, where she did most of her growing up, she had achieved the highest grades in her class but was told that she would not be valedictorian. That honor would go to the student whose rank in the class was actually third, but who was the best male student. To have a girl as valedictorian, said the principal, wouldn't "look right." However, after an encounter with Hedrick's mother, whom she describes as a feisty "Irish streetfighter," the principal relented, and H edrick was permitted to take her rightful place. (The girl who should have been salutatorian was not so fortunate. She and her family did not press the issue,

EXCELLENCE

and she was replaced by the boy.) Today it sounds almost like a fictional vignette contrived to demonstrate a feminist's awakening. But that awakening did not happen - at least, not yet. Hedrick says, "What it meant at the time was that my mother was willing to stand up for n1e." The real awakening didn't occur until some years later when Hedrick was teaching at Wesleyan University in the early 1970s. Hedrick says she learned about early brands of feminism from her students. She also read about it in radical literature that was coming out at the time and realized that there was some immediacy to the issues-she herself was struggling with the sometimes conflicting roles of wife, mother of small chil-

dren, graduate student, and later teacher. (These days, Hedrick has her students in the introductory women's studies course write personal narratives about their early memories of being aware of their gender and its consequences.) These real-life experiences and her penchant for interdisciplinary study were some of the qualities that made her a perfect candidate to head a fledgling women's studies program. While Hedrick states that women's studies was very well received at Trinity, she also concedes that it is not unusual for teachers to feel uncomfortable with a new field, about which very little is known. Women's studies, says Hedrick, "does kamikaze runs on all kinds of knowledge." There were some who thought that Hedrick might not be aggressive enough to push the program along. The challenge involved drawing professors from other departments, individuals w ho were grounded in their own respective disciplines, into a cohesive interdisciplinary program. But the same skill that would later enable her to bring many threads-historical context, 19th-century cultural forces, personal relationships, and public personasinto the neatly woven fabric of her prize-winning book, served her well. It's a skill she used, for example, to focus the energies of the Women's Studies Committee, of which she is chair, during its activity planning for the celebration of 25 years of coeducation at Trinity. And it's a skill she uses in the classroom, giving every student's contribution a place in the discussion she's developing. "I took WS 101 (the introductory women's studies course) because of its enor-

EXCELLENT

m ous popularity, which I w ould attribute to Professor Hedrick and her reputation," says Christopher Richards '96, the College's first male women's studies major. (It's a double major, the other being in American studies.) While it is common for men to feel uncomfortable in women's studies courses, and while the subjects are often controversial, Richards says Hedrick's classroom is a comfortable place for students with a variety of perspectives. Robyn Schiffman '97 says Hedrick "listens with her whole body. She makes you feel good about w hat you've said." According to Barbara Sicherman, Hedrick promotes "an inclusive kind of feminism, " and is adept at "making it safe" to disagree. If Hedrick does not expect everyone in the class to agree on issues and perspectives, she does expect something else: that students learn to articulate their b eliefs, and to question the frameworks and basic assumptions they bring into the classroom. Critical thinking and clear writing are of the utmost importance; discourse and dialogue are crucial. As such, the introductory course is a turning point for many students who have never before been given the language or the context in which to discuss gender realities. C olleague Adrienne Fulco, senior lecturer in political science, says, "We share a lot of students. Joan has had an extraordinary influence on these kids." Hedrick assumes her students have intellectual maturity, says Robyn Schiffman, and she has an ability to "capitalize on the learning process. She sees it clicking and takes you to the next level."

ation, wrote her book during summers and sabbaticals and says that the quiet, solitary work of research and writing is a complementary activity to the very public activities of being a teaching professor and program director. "I need both, sh e says." In fact, Joan Hedrick is most admired by her colleagues for not only balancing the two activities judiciously but also achieving such a high degree of excellence in each. H edrick, who is married and has two grown daughters, is on sabbatical for the 199596 academic year and intends to use her tin1e away from teaching to finish the Harriet Beecher Stowe reader she is editing, which will include Uncle Tom 's Cabin in its entirety, some of Stowe's other

pieces relating to slavery, her letters, and an introduction w ritten by Hedrick. Then she hop es to cast about, reading "in an undirected way," until she finds another subject for biography. It is almost impossible to resist looking for similarities between a biographer and his or her subject, but Harriet Beecher Stowe is neither Hedrick's idol, nor her alter ego. After all, Stowe was obliviously careless about dates and places, often putting the wrong dates on letters when she put any date at all. This presented a huge and frustrating " quagmire" to a fastidious researcher like H edrick. However, Hedrick do es admire Harriet Beecher Stowe for her willingness to "back up her beliefs with ap propriate action." Stowe was, for example , an active abolitionist whose most famous book had a profound effect ori the institution of slavery and how it was viewed. (President Lincoln is reputed

to have greeted Stowe for the first time with the words, "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war!") Similarly, ideas and areas of study are not just academic for Hedrick; they are important because they have an effect in the world. "Women's studies as a field does have a political agenda," she says, which includes " making the world open to different perspectives." For Hedrick, who has been an advocate for the homeless in her town and who has involved herself in on-campus issues such as sexual harassment, her work as a professor is perhaps the most important way to put her ideas into action. It means teaching courses that open students' eyes and building a program that incorporates women's studies and other perspectives into the frameworks of all types of disciplines. She says earnestly, " That kind of committed life appeals to me."

Rooting the performing arts in the liberal arts tradition

_ heater and D ance

horeographer Tim Martin '83 counts amo ng his suecesses a piece called "Cybertech," which he originally choreograph ed for a small ensemble of soloists from the American Ballet Theater. The piece is a commentary about the complicated effects of technology on society. Martin, who was the first dance major at Trinity, returned to campus D ecember 9, w hen he and a number of current Trinity students performed a segment of "Cyber- tech" as part of the celebration of 25 years of dance at Trinity. In some ways Martin's interdisciplinary, inelusive, and thought-provoking style of choreograp hy-really a combination of styles from classical ballet to modern dance, to martial arts and pantomime-is a metaphor for all that is good about the T heater and Dance Department at Trinity. The dynamic Department of T heater and Dance combines a distinguished permanent faculty with exciting, often internationally famo us visiting lecturers to provide a full range of innovative interdisciplinary courses in history, theater, and literature; process and performance; design and production; and cross-disciplinary studies. Classes both prepare prospective performers for careers in the arts and enrich the liberal arts experience of non-majors. In addition, the department boasts a unique experimental theater program in New York City and a summer institute in Russia and Bulgaria . All this from a department whose beginnings in the late '60s and

early '70s were admittedly humble. The times were eclectic . Women were being admitted to Trinity as exchange students from other colleges; the open curriculum meant that with few requirements students could learn in various alternative and self-designed studies; and dance and theater were both small programs w ithout full departmental status. Enter Judy Dworin '70, a student from Smith College w ho petitioned to stay at Trinity after her exchange year was up and who ended up being the first woman to graduate from Trinity. Her American studies thesis was a dance per(ormance that was broadcast locally and nationally on public television stations. While she brought a lot of energy to the cause herself, Dworin says she "saw enormous potential" for dance at Trinity. After graduatiop, she became part of the process to make theater and dance a full-fledged and combined department. Now director of the dance program and professor of theater and dance, Dworin recalls there was " a clear mandate fro m the Educationa! Policy Committee to form a true interdisciplinary department, not just a co-existence." Professor Joshua Karter, who is chair of the department and director of the theater component, considers the integration of the disciplines to be a strength. He points out that not only are the roots of all performance arts integrated, but also the most innovative, cutting-edge performance art

today increasingly blends the boundaries of the disciplines. If the department began with a sense of the importance of being actively interdisciplinary, it also grew to have a vision of its role in the greater context of a liberal arts college . For theater/dance maj ors who intend to pursue a career in performance arts, the goal is to make them more whole as artists. Says Karter, "There is a strong emphasis on the historical and cultural perspective." The department's history of theater courses , he says, are among the most academically rigorous at the College. Besides being strongly grounded in the roots of the arts, students benefit from the innovative interdisciplinary courses that link dance and theater with American studies, women 's studies, Asian studies, or philosophy. The Asian dance/drama course, fo r example, examines the formal conventions of selected Asian dance/ drama forms , traces their historical origins, and analyzes their function in contemporary Asian societies. T im Martin believes this broader approach , unavailable at conservatories that focus solely on performance, h elped him to be a better artist and gave him a "broader dance vocab ulary." Background and experience, he suggests, are extremely important in having something to say as an artist. Students majoring in other disciplines find that the department offers unique learning and cognition experiences. Neuroscience major Beth

Fifield '97 says dance and movement courses are a perfect complement to the more " rigid and linear" science disciplines. "From a cellular and psychological level," she says, "I know a lot about the body. " Movement classes are a way of "learning about it from another perspective," and connecting the m ind and the body through linking reading material and discussion topics with movement. The core of permanent faculty members brings a great deal to the department. Dworin, for example, has had her own dance company since 1989, w hich both tours and does residencies and workshops in schools and community centers . Based in Hartford, the Judy Dworin Performance Ensemble is in residence at the College this year. Karter has directed plays in the United States and at the Nikitsky Gates T heater in Moscow, while Professor Arth ur Feinsod is an authority on simple staging techniques , a playwright, and the resident dramaturg for the acclaimed Hartford Stage. Professor Katharine Power specializes in the cross-disciplinary connection between dance and theater and women's studies . "The rich array of adjunct faculty adds a lot of spice," says Karter. Visiting lecturers in the past have included Clive T hompson, a fo rmer soloist with the Alvin Ailey Dance Company, who also returned for the 25th anniversary of dance at Trinity. T his year the African Dance course taught by Visiting Lecturer Abdoulaye Sylla is enormously popular

among theater and dance maj ors and non-majors alike. In addition to the wide range of classes it offers, the Theater and Dance Department maintains a strong presence by sponsoring more than 40 productions each academic year, including faculty- and student-directed dance and theater performances, senior thesis performances, and a variety of offerings from the directing and performance art classes. Not content to be confined to the campus of the College, the Theater and Dance Department offers a variety of offcampus opportunities. The unique Trinity/LaMaMa Performing Arts Program in New

York City is based at LaMaMa, the world-famous center for experimental dance, music, and theater. The program, which has expanded to accept students from other colleges as well as Trinity, is a semester-long immersion in the world of professional performing arts, with an emphasis on the avant-garde. The program includes highlevel professional training, internships with major companies, and attendance at several performances and workshops with professionals each week. Trinity's five-week RussiaBulgaria Summer Theater Institute brings students to the renowned Nikitsky Gates Theater in Moscow, to St. Peters-

burg, and to the National Academy of Dramatic Arts in Sofia, Bulgaria. Besides attending intensive classes, students attend performances and take full advantage of cultural excursiOns. Closer to home, students may participate in internships at the Hartford Stage Company, one of the leading repertory theater groups in the nation, in Dworin's dance ensemble, or in classes and internships at the Hartford Ballet. According to Karter, the sum of experiences offered by the Theater and Dance Department is an effort to train "the whole artist," which means "rounding people out as opposed to chan-

neling them into a narrow path." Tim Martin concurs. The "nurturing environment" at Trinity was "more than just dancing." He gives an example: "The improvisation courses taught me how to live day to day," he says, "and to learn to adapt." Drew Hyland, professor of philosophy, who has "team taught" a course called "Movement, Play, and Philosophy" with faculty from the Theater and Dance Department, offers another perspective on the importance of the department at Trinity: the ancient Greek notion that people can only achieve full humanity through the arts.

Perfecting the power of observation

R iscilla Kehoe hy do infants cry and what makes them stop? How is a fetus affected by prenatal drugs? What happens developmentally if an animal is stressed early on in its life, and how does that affect future behavior? Professor Priscilla Kehoe will never run out of questions. A former intensivecare nurse and a self-described workaholic, Kehoe is director ofTrinity's Neuroscience Program. Widely published, active in psychobiology and neuroscience professional organizations, Kehoe has received a number of major grants to support her work. In the classroom and in the lab, she combines an intensely inquisitive mind with personal warmth and energy. As a nurse in the 1970s, she became very interested in why certain drugs had certain effects but found that no one had any satisfactory answers. "I drive people crazy with my questions," she says, "particularly my husband." With characteristic determination, the mother of two children decided to go back to school and discover the answers herself. Although she briefly considered medical school, she realized that research and teaching were the best way "to use my creative powers." When she joined Trinity's Psychology Department in 1985, her graduate and post. graduate work at Johns Hopkins University prepared her to design and equip Trinity's psychobiology lab, for which she received a grant from the National Science Foundation. At Trinity, Kehoe found there were already stu-

dents interested in her interdisciplinaty field, some of whom were constructing independent majors. In 1989, she worked with colleagues in psychology, biology, chemistry, engineering, and philosophy to develop the Neuroscience Program as a formal major. Now, only a handful of years later, many students choose Trinity because they've heard of the program, and last year there were 19 majors. Philosophy professor Dan Lloyd, who was acting director of the Neuroscience Program during some of the early

years, credits Kehoe with much of the success of the program. "No other liberal arts college has such a sophisticated and developed neuroscience program," he says. "Not even close. And it wouldn't have happened without her." In Kehoe's psychobiology lab, students are urged to grapple with the issue of animals' rights. Kehoe herself engages in "frequent soul-searching" about the issue. In her lab, pain and suffering are limited as much as possible, and the clinical usefulness of a study must be very compelling.

In one study, newborn rats are separated from their mother for an hour every day for a week. Later they are observed as they respond to a drug or environmental stressor. When "challenged" in this way, these animals behave differently from the control group. But what Kehoe really wants to know is whether their "exaggerated response" is a good or a bad thing. Is it a sign of deviance or perhaps a way of coping that will help the animal in some other situation? And how will animals from this paradigm fare on learning and memory tests or on problemsolving tasks? Kehoe's students also do in vivo microdialysis. This involves anesthetizing the rat and surgically placing a probe in its brain. Later, the probe enables researchers to take samples of the neurochemicals that the brain is producing while the animal is walking around and responding to stimuli. Through a process of liquid chromatography, the solution is analyzed, enabling researchers to link neurochemical response-the production of dopamine, for example-with behavior. In other studies, the animals are analyzed in the physics lab for electrophysiology studies. One ofKehoe's students is collaborating with a Canadian scientist to analyze rats' vocalizations using a spectrograph . These types of research opportunities provide Trinity's undergraduates with unprecedented technical experience as well as theoretical knowledge. Many of the dozens of papers Kehoe has presented

Breaking the bonds of present路mindedness and published list Trinity undergraduates as co-authors and collaborators. Kehoe says this exp erience is why Trinity's neuroscience majors have little difficulty landing excellent j obs with drug companies or on significant research projects, or gaining acceptance into topnotch graduate and medical sch ools. O ne explanation for graduates' successes may be simply the power of the example Kehoe sets. Laura Triano '97, a junior who has taken courses with Kehoe and worked for her in the lab both during the school year and in the summer, says, " For me she reinforced the idea that hard work really does pay off." Triano says that another quality that makes Kehoe a great teacher is that she listens and helps students hone in on what really interests them. In this way, says Triano, "she helps you to help yourself." As a head nurse, Kehoe would call student nurses over to a patient and have them observe him or her for ten minutes. "What do you see?" she would prompt them, making them notice every behavioral and physiological aspect to teach the skills of observation. She points out that this kind of teaching is not a whole lot different from what she does with her students today, and it is crucial to good research. Professor Dina Anselmi, a friend and colleague in the psychology department, says that among Kehoe's strengths are her 110-percent commitment to her students and a sense of humor that complements her drive to learn. Most important, says Anselmi, is that "she has an intellectual curiosity that gets transmitted to her students." Says Kehoe, "The best way to learn is to teach. Really good students make yo u work hard."

am el Kassow rofessor James West tells the st01y of a trip he took to Russia in 1979 with friend and Trinity colleague Samuel D . Kassow '66. The two history professors were at the American Embassy in Moscow when Kassow, an expert in Russian, European, and Jewish hist01y, began talking about the prospects for Middle East peace. "Sam started laying out a plan for the West Bank. H e said, 'This is what's going to happen. This is th e only way ."' West was skeptical. It seemed so unlikely that Israel would give up any land. But almost 20 years later, the Israeli-Palestinian peace plan that is now forging ahead is exactly what Kassow described.

The story illustrates Kassow's ability to "use his historical understanding and throw it to the future," West said. "He is one of the most powerful minds I have ever come across." For Sam Kassow, history is more than a collection of dates and events. Jessica Davidson '96, who credits Kassow with "inspiring" her interest in European history, says, "He lives and breathes what he teaches ." The comment is more literal than one might imagine. Born in a displaced persons camp in Germany after World War II, the son of two Holocaust survivors, Kassow's view of the world has been

shaped by major historical events of the 20th century. On personal trips, he has visited a remote village in the former Soviet Union to meet the man who sheltered his mother and aunt from the Nazis. "It was very intense," says Kassow of the experience. A professor whose intellect and knowledge inspire awe in undergraduates, Kassow has earned numerous academic honors, grants, and fellowships, including a Fulbright Scholarship, and is a widely respected writer and lecturer. He received his undergraduate degree from Trinity in 1966 and graduate degrees from the London School of Economics and Princeton University.

Professor Kassow talks with students after Commencement. In recent years h e also h as tau gh t Jewish histo ry at a Moscow university and Russian intellectual history in J eru salem.

TEACHING

Kassow has been teaching at Trinity since 1972, and in 1976 he helped develop the interdisciplinary Guided Studies in Western Civilization program. His main goal as a teacher, he says, is to "get people to see the complexity of historical problems and to understand the moral choices." Kassow admits he has to work hard to understand today's students, who have not been so directly affected by the events that formed his own background, and to overcome generational differences and what he perceives as the "present-mindedness" of many young people. In addition, there is the challenge ofhaving so much material to cover. Kassow believes that students need to learn a lot before they can have an informed discussion. He has developed courses that teach history through literature and culture as a strategy both to get students interested in history and to introduce serious historical questions. "It's a convenient pedagogical tool," says Kassow. Tammy Alfred '96, who took a course with Kassow on literature and social change in the modern Jewish era, found that the reading provided in~ sightful perspectives on such events as the Holocaust. "History and literature went hand in hand," she says.

Bringing history to life Kassow also helps history come to life for many in the Trinity community by participating in alumni colleges and reunion weekends, getting involved with J ewish student groups, and leading student trips to Russia, the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., and Ellis Island. His wife, Lisa, has accompanied him on the student trips and been an active participant in Trinity's Hillel organization.

Beyond Trinity, Kassow teaches in a University of Connecticut master's degree program in Judaic studies and at Beit Midrash, a. Greater Hartford community adult education institution that offers a two-year curriculum in Jewish history. "He's a wonderful role model in the J ewish community," says Linda Stanger, Beit Midrash's administrative director. "He's respected for his intellectual abilities and his ethical standards."

Preserving Yiddish One of the contributions Kassow makes to the Jewish community is his commitm.ent to keeping the Yiddish language alive. It is Kassow's first language . (English, of course, came second, and in the course of his travels and studies, he learn ed to read and/ or speak Russian, Polish, Hebrew, French, and German.) Kassow often lectures both in this country and internationally in Yiddish and has taught courses in Yiddish and English as a visiting professor in Israel and Russia. The author of numerous articles, Kassow has written and co-edited two books on Tsarist Russia. His goals for the future include publishing a book of his essays on Eastern European history as well as books onJewish historiography and urban life in Eastern Europe. He wo uld also like to develop new courses that will continue to engage and inspire students. Despite being in the same field as Kassow, West says, "I have learned from Sam the way a student learns from a professor for the 25 years that I've known him." J essica Davidson, who couldn't wait for her parents to meet her brilliant teacher on Parents' Weekend, says simply, "It is an absolute honor to study with him."

EXCELLENCE

EDUCATING SCIENTISTS FOR THE NATION

• In a recent study conducted by The Institute for Scientific Information (lSI) Trinity ranked as one of the top 16 liberal arts colleges nationwide in numbers of publications in the natural sciences. The lSI study, encompassing the years 1981-1992, looked into the role that undergraduate colleges play in scientific research. In the biomedical sciences, Trinity ranked as one of the top five colleges, and in engineering, as one of the top six colleges in the country . The ISI cited extensive data indicating that small colleges like Trinity provide a "pipeline" of the nation 's future science graduate and doctoral students, educating proportionately far more of the nation's scientists as compared with the comprehensive universities. USING OUR CITY RESOURCES

• Professor of English Milia Riggio and Associate Professor ofTheater Arthur Feinsod have strengthened the links between the award-winning H artford Stage Company and the College . Feinsod is the resident dramaturg, a permanent position, of the HSC , and Riggio is the production dramaturg, in the winter working on HSC's production of Sheridan's play, "The Rivals." Two m embers of the HSC artistic staff taught in the theater and dance deparment this fall , and in the spring the HSC's director of New Play Development, Kim Buell, is team-teaching a course called "Drama Classics Reinterpreted." The course focuses partly on the production of"I Ain't Yo' Uncle," based on "Uncle Tom's Cabin," produced at the HSC in the fall. AfricanAmerican, Latino and Gay adap tations of "Antigone" and "King Lear" are also planned for the course. TALKING TO OUR COMMUNITIES

• Frank Kirkpatrick '64, C harles A. Dana Research Professor and Professor ofReligion, Associate Professor of Philosophy Maurice Wade and Visiting Lecturer in Political Science Edward Clayton have participated recently in the program, "Choices for the 21st Century." The project is sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities , the Connecticut Humanities Council, and the Connecticut Reading Connections Program, in association w ith the Southern Connecticut Library Association. The project brings scholars w ith a gift for pedagogy out of the undergraduate classroom and into public libraries to lead discussions with adults on issues of major importance in a democracy. Discussion topics have included "The Search for Peace in an Age of Conflict," "Global Environmental Problems," and "Immigration Policy in an Unsettled World." In the past, Trinity's scholar participants in the program have been Associate Professor of Religion Ronald Kiener and Professor of History James West.

skewed idea of what it means to be a man.

Many grew up in homes where they received few "atta boys," said Allman. Discipline was probably a means of punishment, not a way to teach children consequences, he said. By watching others commit vier lence, "You can learn to be an abuser," said Sharon Herzberger professor of psvchology at Trinity College in HartfOTd. Conn., Who fuiS studied the issue. "Research on the and culture would suggest that"

Rut Herzberger thinks the jm-

pact of growing up in an ab usive home has been over-emphasized. "A lot of people can become exposed to violence in the family but overcome it," she said. Abusers do tend to think that the man should be dominant in a relationship and that the woman should be submissive, she said. Also, "We know that there are biological factors," Herzberger said. From birth, "we vary in temperament. People who are more temperamental are more likely to take it one more step."

TEACHING ExcELLENCE LETTER FROM A TRINITY PARENT

"I have visited Trinity three times now, and I always come away with an even stronger conviction that it is the best place for my son ... O n Friday, I visited a chemistry class in the afternoon. I am currently a research chemist with DuPont, so my interest naturally lies in this arena. The class was a junior seminar where three students presented synopses of three research papers. I was impressed, not only with the quality of the presentations, but also with the student/faculty interactions. I often: present seminar;s at researcl~ universities, where the student/faculty interactions are very restricted and often limited to one's advisor. At Trinity, it was clear that the students were completely at ease with all of the faculty in the departm.ent, and that student/faculty relationships are not limited to the classroom. During discussions with Professors [Richard] Prigodich and [Henry] DePhillips, I found that students are actively encouraged to engage in research programs at an early stage, some even in the freshman year. This attitude produces scientists who are both at ease in the research laboratory and aware of the importance of excellence in teaching. With the current redefinition of the value accorded to research and teaching in the sciences, these young people will be superbly positioned to choose careers . It is truly exciting to find role models who demonstrate to aspiring chemists that it is possible to be a dedicated teacher and still conduct exciti11.g, innovative, and fundamentally important research. I am quite sure that your other departments are equally talented. .. ."

nJanuary 29, it became official: Hartford was chosen from among 9 finalists and 40 original contenders as one of four sites for 1996 presidential and vice presidential debates. Trinity was one of three original sponsors - and the only educational sponsor- of Hartford' s successful bid to the Presidential Debate Commission in Washington, D.C. The only vice presidential debate will be held on October 2 in the Civic Center; this will be the second in the series of four debates. At a press conference at the Old State House in Hartford, where Hartford's victory was announced by national and state elected officials, President Evan Do b elle joined w ith the corporate sponsors of Hartford's bid - Bank of Boston Connecticut, Phoenix Home Life, and S,NET - to express excitement over the decision. "Trinity College loves being in 'the final four'! This is a great victory for the people of Hartford and a wonderful opportunity to open the wo rld's eyes to the magic of this historic city and all it has to offer. Trinity is privileged to be the educational host," Dobelle told the audience . Trinity will be an active participant in events leading up to the debate and in the debate itself, which organizers say will generate public interest in voter registration and unprecedented educational opportunities for students and all citizens in the State. The event is expected to inj ect a minimum of $1.5 million into the local economy.

Applications reach record high in January

reshman applications this year have been submitted in record numbers. As of mid-February, Trinity had received more than 3800 ap plications for admission to the Class of 2000 - a 25% increase relative to last year's final total of 3054. This figure surpasses the highest singleyear application total in the College's history (3469 in 1986). Vice President for Enrollment Management Christopher Small indicated that while a number of our peer institutions are experiencing increases in thei, number of applications, he is not aware of one that is experiencing the kind of year Trinty is enjoymg. The number of students applying by Early D ecision is also up at Trinity this year: from 197 in 1995 to 244. Of that number, ro ughly 60% were offered admission.

Progress made on campus building plans

he Facilities Planning Committee has selected the firm of The Office of Michael Rosenfeld of Acton, Mass. for the Library expansion and renovation project. Proposals were submitted by three firms in the fall. Technical design work began in January. The demolition and removal of the Alpha Chi Rho fraternity house on Vernon Street has cleared the way for the construction of a new dormitory and social facility. Approved by the Trustees last spring, the project includes an 80-bed dormitory and a 7 ,000-square-foot social center. The structure will complete a new "North Quad" residential complex, which will include High Rise and North Campus dorms. Construction is to begin this spring, with occupancy expected in the fall of 1997.

Search for dean of the faculty moves forward

rofessor of Economics Diane Zannoni, chair of the Dean of Faculty Search Committee, reported to the campus in

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS at Trinity were invited by President and Mrs. Dobelle to come to the President's house for a late afternoon get-together in December. The students liked the event and requested that a second one take place early in the spring semester. The President told the students that the College has plans in motion to increase the number of international students attending Trinity. As part of the new initiative to recruit more aggressively abroad, Assistant Director of Admissions Bernadette Longboy '91 traveled in the fall to Asia, participating in college fair programs at international schools in Japan, Korea, China, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.

The committee had received 179 applications, as of mid-January, and arranged for abo ut 20 candidates to meet with the Search Committee for a short preliminary interview. The committee also was considering a second group of candidates whose files were in the process of becoming completed, several of whom might be invited to meet with the Search Committee. After these meetings, a smaller number will be invited back to campus to meet with faculty, the President, and others. Also serving on the committee are: Dan Blackburn of biology, Ken LloydJones of modern languages, R alph Moyer of chemistry, Jane Nadel-Klein of anthro-

Annual Fund works toward steep goals he 1995-96 Annual Fund ended the first half of the Fund year with a bang, posting strong results for total raised in cash and pledges and cash received. As ofJanuary 20, 1996 , the Fund had $2,168,587 raised, and the College had received $1,459,986 toward the $3 .1 million goal for 1995-96, putting the Fund 7% and 9% ahead oflast year's numbers for that date. Between now and June 30, 1996, when the Fund year ends, much energy w ill be spent by the Annual Fund staff and alumni volunteers on working to achieve the goal. Along with raising $3. 1 they are striving to reach the 50% alumni participation goal, a mark Trinity has never attained. According to Alexandra Ablon, director of annual giving, reaching the 50% goal translates into convincing 7,895 alumni to

support the Annual Fund (which incorporates the Alumni Fund) with a gift before June 30. Achievem.ent of the 50% participatio n goal, she said, would improve the College's standing in the eyes of corporations and foundations who review Trinity's grant proposals. In addition, alumni giving rates are a factor in national rankings of colleges by U.S. News and World Report and others. Last year, the Fund achieved 49% participation by alumni. However, as of January 20, Ablon said, the Fund was behind 1994-95 in gifts and pledge numbers by 1,000. "Once we attain 50 percent this year," Ablon said, "next year's goal will be 51 percent, and the year after (the last year of the Campaign), 52 percent. Classes that attain 52 percent or higher during the course of the campaign years will be noted on a recognition plaque on campus."

SURDNA, Heublein grants help Center for Neighborhoods

he College has received two major grants to support the operations of the Trinity Center for Neighborhoods, which was established in 1995 to work with community groups to revitalize neighborhoods in Hartford and New Britain. The SURDNA Foundation of New 路 York awarded a two-year grant of $125,000 and the Heublein Corporation of Hartford awarded a three-year grant of $100,000 to the Center.

Both grants will support the general operating budget of the project, including community organizing and completion of strategic and fund-raising plans for the four participating neighborhoods in Hartford and New Britain. The grants also will fund research for the master plans, computer networking, staff and leadership training, educational involvement of faculty from Trinity and the University of Connecticut, and development of apprenticeships for minorities interested in working in community organizations. Several neighborhood research projects are already underway.

In the Reporter mail Since the last issue, Lew Walker '38, who wrote a piece in that issue about the deception plan for "Operation Olympic" informed us that the date for the Operation was to have been November 1, 1945 , not November 15 , as was stated in the article. Herbert P. Brust '45, w ho was assigned to the V-12 unit at Trinity, asked for information on an executive officer Paul Brust '45 mentioned in the article on the Navy V-12ers by Paul B. Kincade '46. Herbert Brust does not recall a Paul Brust in the Class of' 45. Kincade, in the meantime, informed the Alumni Office that he was mistaken on the name, Paul Brust. There were several phone calls to the Alumni Office and Reporter editor regarding the identities of the men on the cover of the last issue. Most of the information supplied could not be confirmed. However, Reynolds Onderdonk '76 stopped by in January to say that Robert Bodkin '40 was second from left, and third from left was Richardson Onderdonk '40. As of now, his claim stands. The photo was obtained from the Trinity Archives and bore no caption. Thanks to all for the leads. Virginia Raff '73 wrote to suggest that the identification of Whitney Pomeroy '96 as the first double legacy is not correct. Virginia wrote that her son graduated in 1986, and that both he and one of his classmates were double legacies. She thought that that classmate's mother was also in the Class of '73. Judith Odlum Pomeroy, as a member of the Class of '70, graduated earlier, thus explaining the claim for Whitney. Looks to us like criteria for "legacy" are needed; Trinity has many.

President Dobelle and professors iourney to Asia

t the end of December and in early January, President Dobelle traveled with two faculty members to Taiwan, Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China on a trip designed to raise Trinity's profile in Asia and within the international arena. President Dobelle has committed himself and the College to expanding Trinity's presence and recruiting base beyond the boundaries of the United States. On this trip to Asia, his objectives included mobilizing members of the Trinity community to support recruitment of students from East Asia and galvanizing support for The Trinity College Campaign among members of the Trinity community in that part of the world. Accompanied by Associate Professor of History Michael Lestz '68, President Dobelle met with political leaders in Taiwan, including the former governor of the province of Taiwan who currently is president of the Examination Yuan (the body of government which oversees the Republic of China's civil service). They met with Trinity parent WuJin-Lin Ooe Wu P'99), who is secretary general of the Examination Yuan and who arranged a dinner with a group of influential cultural leaders. While in Taiwan, President Dobelle and Professors Lestz and Assistant Professor of Economics James Wen also visited Trinity's exchange partner, the National Pingtung Teacher's College, where they met with faculty and twelve Taiwanese who are interested in coming to Trinity as part of the exchange program to serve as teaching assistants in Trinity's ongoing language courses. The partnership , which was established last May when National Ping-tung Teacher's College President Fred Ho received an honorary degree at Trinity's Commencement, creates opportunities for recent Trinity graduates to work in Taiwan for a semester or year teaching English . The College's first participant, Sophie Yang '95, departed for Taiwan in February. The highlight of the group's stop in Hong Kong was a dinner with area alumni. Among those who joined President Do belle for dinner were Richard Cleary '85, Jack Slattery '81, Peter Chang '68 and Alvin Khoo '92. T hey were joined

by Emily Ma '97. In Shenzhen, President Dobelle met with the newly appointed president of Shenzhen University, an important new institution that is essentially a university of science and technology. Shenzhen is a special economic zone not far from Hong Kong which w as established by the People's Republic of China (PRC) to take advantage of and piggyback on the economy of Hong Kong. The population of Shenzhen has grown from 4500 people in 1979-80 to

3 million in 1995. The trip was capped with a New Year's Eve party with the F.F. Society, a group of approximately 1000 Chinese educated in the United States at such insitutions as MIT, Harvard, Columbia and Trinity. The Society was formed in 1910 at Trinity. There were over 600 people participating in the festivities on New Year's Eve. Interestingly, the language at all the tables was English.

As director of the Science Alliance Russo will administer all aspects of the Interdisciplinary Science Program (ISP) - the honors program in the sciences- including ISP admissions and recruiting, supervision of student research apprenticeships, and organization of the second-year seminar in public policy. The new organization's headquarters will be the newly designated Trinity College Science Commons in Clement 107. The new organization will serve as a highly visible advocate for science activities on campus, with a charge to expand and improve curricular and extracurricular offerings such such as student symposia, a lecture and discussion series, and a variety of activities related to Trinity's women-in-science initiative. It will also administer the College's tutoring and mentoring programs for science students. Supporting the Alliance will be an advi-

The Science Alliance debuts

aula Russo, associate professor of m athematics , has been appointed director of a five-year pilot project to coordinate and promote the study of the natural sciences at Trinity. The Trinity Science Alliance will help to create a cohesive scientific community that will attract more attention and participation both within and beyond the campus community. "T rinity is an excellent place to study science, but that fact is not well enough know n, either on or off campus," said Dean H enry DePhillips. "Only about 20 percent of recent graduates have majored in natural science, mathematics and engineering. A primary reason for this is the lack of visibility of the excellent curriculum and programs that we offer and the absence of an administrative structure to

sory board of science professionals, including alumni/ae, who w ill advise Trinity on ways to improve its programs.

Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life Planned I n November the College announced the

I establishment of a new Trinity Center

for the Study ofReligion in Public Life. N onsectarian and nonpartisan, the Center will advance knowledge and understanding of the varied roles that religious movements, institutions, and ideas play in the contemporary world. It will support research across a range of disciplines, organize scholarly conferences, sponsor lectures and forums for general audiences, publish "occasional papers " and contribute directly to Trinity's liberal arts curriculum. The Center has secured preliminary funding and the College is seeking a se-

CELEBRATE NEWYEAR'S EVE 1996 IN STYLE AND AWAY FROM HOME! ANNOUNCING A TRINITY ALUMNI COLLEGE IN HONG KONG!

The College is planning an International Studies Symposium, or Alumni College, to be held in Hong Kong during the last few days of December 1996 and early part of January 1997. In June 1997, the Crown Colony of Hong Kong will revert to Chinese sovereignty, after approximately a century and a half of British rule. This exchange of regim e will have important effects on China's relations with its neighbors and will stand as a test case of the PRC's ability to fulfill its legal promises and maintain the energy and social stability of one of East Asia's most vibrant economic miracles. T he T rinity symposium will explore issues related to Hong Kong's future in the realms of politics, economics and cultural affairs. Leading academic, business and political scholars and analysts Will lead discussions and seminars designed to provide symposium participants a rounded overview of key issues

confronting Hong Kong and the region. The symposium will take place in Hong Kong's Grand Hyatt hotel and conference center on the edge ofKowloon Bay. In addition to the discussions and seminars, there will be tours of historic sites, a bus trip to Shenzhen, China for additional discussions to be held at Shenzhen University or some other venue in the city, and an optional trip to Taipei, Taiwan, where a special tour of the Palace Museum is planned. The formal program will conclude with a New Year's party, marking the imminent dismantlement of the Crown Colony and

the opening of a new era for Hong Kong. This exciting Alumni College in Hong Kong is scheduled (subject to confirmation) to take place from December 28, 1996 to January 2, 1997. Participants would have the option of extending their visits on either end of the schedule. Planning is in the preliminary stages. It would be helpful to us if you would indicate your interest in learning more about this symposium by completing the form below and returning it to the address shown. As plans firm up and more detailed material becomes available, we will be sure to forward this information to you for your review.

New 1 Focus in Architecture 1 Offered

newly revised Studio Arts curriculum has been approved by the College as an integrated major, with an optional "Focus in Architecture." The new 17-course major requires work in three fields: Studio Arts, Art History and a third field selected to complement a student's work in Studio Arts. Recognizing that Studio Arts provides a model for artistic practice well-suited to the pursuit of a career in architecture, the major can be modified for students who opt to pursue an 18-course "Focus in Architecture." In their senior year, students pursuing the modified major with the architectural focus must create a body of art which addresses the subject of architecture either thematically or theoretically. According to Director of Studio Arts Robert Kirschbaum, the"Focus in Architecture" requires extensive work in Studio Arts, three , courses in the history of architecture, two courses which deal with cities or urban themes, and a course in architectural drawing currently offered in the Engineering Department.

Culpeper Grant supports use of electronic technology

he Charles E. Culpeper Foundation has awarded the College a $202,208 grant to support a three-year program aimed at helping faculty improve teaching and learning through the expanded use of electronic technology. The grant will support a Center for Technology-Assisted Learning in the Trinity Library, which will work with faculty to introduce media and electronic resources into courses. "While Trinity is far ahead of many peer institutions in this realm, we are only beginning to explore the full pedagogical potential of this new frontier," said Stephen Peterson, College Librarian. "Programs such as those made possible by the Culpep er Foundation will help engage

our faculty in harnessing new resources in teaching and learning." Based in Stamford, Conn., the foundation focuses on issues related to health and education, arts and culture, and administration ofjustice. The grant is the second major gift from the Culpeper Foundation to the College's library. In 1987, a $300,000 grant helped to launch the automation of library cataloging and the creation of the CTW Consortium (Connecticut and Trinity colleges and Wesleyan University).

Extracurricular Students can now dial 11 4FUN"

rinity students looking for "something do tonight" now need look no further than their telephone. Information about campus-wide activities is available to those who dial "4FUN" on any campus phone. Created by the Student Activities Office, the hotline updates callers on weekly varsity athletic games, social events, lectures and off-campus trips. The system operates by an electronic voice mail recording that responds to prompts dialed from a touch-tone phone. Beth Egan, coordinator of Student Activities, created the hotline to publicize events sponsored by her office such as bowling trips, movies and late-night barbeques on Mather Hall's Cave patio. However, as more student groups, including C inestudio, supply information on their events, a more comprehensive list of events will be available on the line. to

Launching sophomores in career exploration

ith the abundance of academic and extracurricular choices available to Trinity students, even the most motivated among them sometimes have trouble making decisions about majors and career plans. This fall, the College's Office of Career Counseling organized a pilot program to help sophomores take the first concrete steps in career exploration. The "Sophomore Starter" program offered 30 second-year students a workshop that blended self-assessment, career research on the World Wide Web and per-

sonal counseling. The workshop furth er encouraged students to make plans for college activities such as internships, study abroad, and community activities. "We want to focus on sophomores because they are on the verge of making decisions about the majors that will shape their junior and senior years," said Rozanne Burt, director of career counseling. The first semester's results were promising, Burt said, and "Sophomore Starter" will become one of the career counseling department's featured activities.

Come to a Roman Reunion: Alumni Get Together in Rome, June 22-30, 1996

oin the excitement as Trinity celebrates 25 years of successful programs in Rome. Michael C ampo, J ohn J ay McCook Professor of Modern Languages Emeritus, launched T rinity's Roman tradition in 1970, with the founding of the firs t undergraduate program that summer. The next year the semester programs got underway. Today, there are nearly 2,000 alumni/ ae ofTrinity's Rome Program, and Trinity operates Italian Elderhostel programs in nine locations throughout Italy, with nearly 4,000 participants each year. Building on these great successes, the College is offering an Alumni College June 22-30, featuring lectures and slide programs on the important ages in Roman history given by faculty from Trinity and the College's R ome campus. They will give guided walking tours and lead short trips where participants can see firsthand the long and rich history of Rome and Italy. Faculty will also be on hand for short informal walks in the evenings and when time permits. W hile the schedule is full, the program offers sufficient free time for participants to explore Rome on their own. Advance information and suggestions for reading will allow individuals to prepare themselves further for a rich and rewarding experience. Participants will stay at a small hotel in double rooms with private bath. Centrally located, the hotel has been used successfully for Trinity's Rome Elderhostel programs. The cost is modest: $2,095 per person, double occupancy, including round-trip airfare, all m eals except for two dinners, hotel accommodations, instruction, museum fees and bus travel. C oordinators for this Alumni College are Professor of History and Director of

MAKING MODERNISM: Picasso and the Creation of the Market for TwentiethCentury Art by Michael C. FitzGerald Farrar, Straus and Giroux, (19 Union Square West, New York, N.Y. 10003) 1995, illustrated, 314 pages, $27 .50

With a wealth of anecdotes and a treasure trove of previously unpublished correspondence , Making Modernism analyzes the career of famed artist Pablo Picasso in a way that changes our view of the artist's studio, the dealer's gallery, museums and even of art itself. Library Jou rnal praised the book as an "engaging, well-written account of the role of the artist in the confluence of the aesthetic and the commercial during the rise of modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries ." A leader of the avant-garde, Picasso adroitly orchestrated the commercial presentation of his work. In so doing, he transformed the art world, serving as a model of success w ith critics, curators, collectors and dealers that other artists sought to emulate. FitzGerald traces the artist's career from his search for a gallery in Paris to the retrospective of his work at the Museum of Modern Art in 1939. Making Modernism "makes for some fascinating reading," said The New York Times. The author is an associate professor of fine arts at Trinity. Previously, he was a principal in the department of Impressio nist and modern art at Christie's. A LIFETIME IN EVERY MOMENT by Joseph F. Littell '4 9

Houghton Mifflin (222 Berkeley St. , Boston, Mass. , 02116) , 1995, 303 pages, $22.95

This warm and candid memoir tells of the author's bewildering childhood, wrenching adolescence, wartime allegiances, fragile loves and personal triumphs. Born to a large missionary family in China, Littell experienced youth in a series of dramatic twists and turns. The memoir includes the author's vivid recollections of his childhood in tumultuous China and idyllic Hawaii, and as an exchange student in Hitler's Germany. He draws on his wartime diary in recounting his combat experiences in the U.S. Army, his capture in the Battle of the Bulge and time spent as a German prisoner of war. Littell shares anecdotes abo ut his student days at Trinity, paying special attention to his music appreciation class taught by the late Clarence Watters. The professor's enthusiasm was so infectious that it sparked Littell's lifelong love of classical music. And , the author writes,"It was in Professor Watters's class that I first learned that fun was not the natural enemy oflearning." After graduating from college, Littell entered the world

of publishing and eventually co-founded McDougal, Littell & Company. The textbook publisher began operation in 1969 with four employees and went on to become a leading educational publisher. A Lifetime in Every Moment is "a charming memoir, full of folksy good humor and exuberant sincerity overall, but particularly affecting when Littell reflects on the complex feelings associated w ith familial relationships," commented the American Library Association.

SELF STUDIES The Psychology of Self and Identity by Karl E. Scheibe '59 Praeger Publishers, Westport, Conn. (203-226-3571, ext. 391) , 1995, 240 pages, $59 .95

In this far-reaching study of the self and personal identity, Scheibe crafts a psychology that does justice to history and philosophy. The author, a professor of psychology at Wesleyan University, draws artfully upon classical theories as well as everyday events to construct a work appealing to researchers and the general reader alike. He examines major historical

perspectives 路on the self and the processes of socialization, memory and identity. Traditional social-scientific theories of the self are integrated with contemporary ideas from the humanities concerning constructed memories and creative self-narratives. Chapters focus on such compelling topics as self-control and the spy, the psychology of national identity and fugitive identity. In discussing "uneasy identity," Scheibe dramatically brings home his point by describing a woman who takes part in a bank robbery and _becomes a fugitive to avoid capture. She successfully invents a new name and identity for herself, developing a new life w ith a loving husband, son and restaurant career. Yet, 23 years after the bank robbery, she confesses to an overwhelming need for relief from "a constant sense of falseness, of a strain of separation from her 'real' family and 'real' self."

M .D . with Julie H ouston Villard Books, N ew York, 1994, 281 pages, $19.95

The pediatrician authors challenge myths and commonly held misconceptions about childre n's health and the food they eat. Their book charts a new course through one of the most issue- charged areas of parenting with a premise described as simple yet m edically sound: If a child is healthy and his or her grow th and development are normal, there's no need to obsess about the food that child eats. Geared for today's changing lifestyles, Let Them Eat Cake! is filled with practical hints and tips about real-w orld food and nutrition including meal plans, m enus and the latest info rmatio n on food safety and preparation. Putting the child's needs first, the authors encourage parents to let their children enjoy the safe and varied experiences - including experimenting with food - that they need in order to thrive. T hey offer reassurances that children 's erratic eating patterns are normal and that " good eating habits" are not fixed for life in early childhood - saying children 's eatmg habits do change .

"This w ork is an important contribution to our understanding of a troubling social ill of our time," said The j ournal of the American M edical Association. The epidemiology for suicide and homicide among American youth is outlined and compared with parallel epidemiology for youth in other countries. C hapters foc using on the more clinical perspective ask: w ho attempts and completes suicide and homicide, and w hat clinical and sociocultural facto rs predispose youths to these behaviors?

by Trinity Authors

Baseball Book of 1994. The book delves into the rich - and largely unexplored until now - history of the Latin American game and players. "Bjarkman has crafted a baseball history that goes beyond the game," said Dugout magazine. He documents baseball from a Latin American angle, starting w ith the ereation of the Professional Baseball League of Cuba in 1878 and culminating in the cultural phenomenon of the annual Caribbean World Series. Though the dismantling of baseball's color barrier in 1947 led to an explosion of Latin talent in the major leagues during the 1950s and '60s , the book shows how Latin players continue to face the burden of negative stereotypes and misconceptions. Bjarkman, a former college professor who goes by the nickname of "Dr. Baseball," h <).s written a number ofbooks on baseball and basketball. SixPointed Diamonds: Baseball and the J ewish Immigrant Experience is due out in 1996.

ON POETRY AND PRAYER The Eighth Morning

This multi-layered work seeks an understanding of the relationship between poetry and prayer that is both concrete and profound. In one section titled "Supposia," the author creates a conference of saints and poets whose words ab~:mt poetry and prayer are juxtaposed in a thought-provoking manner. The poets and saints are seated at a round table and warned against heckling or hurrahs. St. Anthony ofEgypt's statem ent: "We have prayed best

w hen we do not know we have prayed," is followed by poet John Holmes' rejoinder: "A poem is in some unexpected stimulus to long-accumulated emotion and belief. " The author writes other sections of the book in the style ofjournal entries or correspondence with Ralph Waldo Emerson and St. Bede. Fandel is former poetry editor of Commonweal magazine and professor of English at Manhattan College. His other books of poetry include Body of Earth and Bach & A Catbird.

Poet-in-Residence Helps Publisher Celebrate Luis J. Rodriguez, who will be Trinity's poet-in-residence in March, is one reason why Curbstone Press is celebrating two decades of publishing and literary activism. The small Curbstone Press publishes eight to 12 titles a year, with annual revenues that have grown to $500,000. Simon & Schuster's Touchstone paperback division paid $120,000 for reprint rights to Rodriguez's memoir of gang life, Always Running- La Vida Loca: Gang Days in L.A., which Curbstone published in 1993. The New York Times wrote of the book: "Rodriguez's account ofhis coming of age is vivid, raw ... fierce, and fearless ... Here's truth no television set, burning night and day, could ever begin to offer." During his ten-day stay at Trinity as poet-in-residence, Rodriguez w ill give two public readings on campus: on Thursday, March 7, at 8 p.m. in Boyer Auditorium of Life Sciences Center, and on Tuesday, March 12, at 8 p .m. in Boyer Auditorium of Life Sciences Center.

Saundra Kee Borges '81 What's wrong with Keeping cool in the hot seat at city hall â&#x20AC;˘ reumng, anyway? By Bill Kirtz '61

Hi. My name is Bill, and I'm a reunoholic. At an age when five-year gettogethers seem to come every 18 months, you ponder why they're so enjoyable. Is it regression, revision, retreat to a time when everything seemed possible' Maybe there's more. As the years pile up, school, college and grad school reunions disprove the commonly held view that returnees show up only to establish bragging rights. Once-obscure classmates come to rub their achievements in the faces of those who once scorned them, and anyone not a legend in his own mind stays far, far away. But, in fact there's scant preening about how well anybody's done. At 50-something, we've all taken our lumps from life - if not financial, marital; if not marital, paternal; if not .... Reality has made us realize that not only do we not know all the answers, we're unsure of the questions. X number of years off-campus, how do we stack up against each other' Are we winners or losers? Eons ago, we were pretty sure what that meant. We were in the first category, no doubt. It wasn't a question of whether we'd get a job, but which offer we'd take. Grad schooP No alphabet- soup prep courses. You want to go, you go----one place or another. Now, many of our children, not to mention some of our own ranks, are un- or under-employed, adjusting to static or downward economic expectations instead of the rosy future we all arrogantly assumed. In our day, we had time to "find ourselves," drifting from job to job, in and out of training programs, safe in the assurance that when we were ready to settle down in the real world, it would be ready for us. During college years, we had ample time for friendship and no set identity to protect. We weren't anybody; we were working on becoming. On campus again, you can step back into that time machine and reconnect with old pals as if you last saw them Tuesday, not 30 years ago. We can relax and drop the image we put on for the world - the professional face we assume to conduct our "career." Why bother to keep it on ' continued on page 5 6

In recent years, few seats have been hotter than the one occupied by Hartford's city manager. The city's history of political turmoil and, more recently, the stresses of managing a municipality suffering the effects of a long recession and repeated rounds of corporate downsizing, have led to controversy and frequent turnover in the city's top administrative position. But for the past two years the manager's office in Hartford's ornate city hall has been an island of tranquility and purposeful labor. Saundra Kee Borges '81 has brought a rare sense of focus and disciplined professional administration to a city more used to flamboyant confrontations . Kee Borges, who had worked in the office of Hartford's corporation counsel for almost 10 years, was appointed city manager in December 1993 by a divided city council. Most political observers expected her to be an interim appointee, who would guide the city's administration during the search for a permanent manager. But Kee Borges' impartiality, seriousness, and ski ll impressed many of the city's political leaders , and last year she was appointed city manager. She is the first woman to hold the job. "She has done a commendable job, given that she was supposed to be an acting city manager," one Hartford councilman told the Hartford Courant. "She has been real straightforward. She is truly impartial." An impartial professional

Impartiality is supposed to be the ideal of professional city managers, who are charged with managing the operations of a municipality but who leave the policy decisions to elected officials. Several of Kee Borges '

predecessors have had trouble accepting those limitations , but not Borges. "I see my job as making sure the city functions in the way that it is expected to function." Some pundits initially expected that Borges, who is a low-key and quiet person, would falter under the strain of the city's relentless and personality-driven politics, but that hasn't happened. "People find out that I am very strong willed," she said. "There's a difference between a soft-spoken person in terms of the level of voice and a person who doesn't speak up when you need to. I would classify myself as the former, not the latter." Under Kee Borges' management, Hartford's city government has produced a series of impressive improvements, including the city's first tax cur in many years, a series of successful negotiations with labor unions, and the implementation of new, more stringent welfare policies. In recognition of Kee Borges' achievements and contributions to the city's life , in November the Trinity Club of Hartford named her its Person of the Year. Kee Borges' first contact wi th municipal administration came during her Trinity years, when she worked for the City of Hartford's purchasing department during summer vacations.

Since then, she has devoted herself primarily to the practice of municipal law, joining the city's corporation counsel's office im mediately after her graduation from the U ni versi ty of Connecticut Law School in 1984. Making a difference

"It feels good to know that when you make a decision it's going to have some effect on people," said Kee Borges, in explaining why she likes her job. Kee Borges came to Trinity from East Orange, N.J. and majored in psychology. Some of her student activities even presaged her career choice-she worked on the Student Government Organization's budget committee for several years. She was also active in the Trinity Coalition of Blacks, cheerleading and the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. In 1986, Kee Borges married Peter Borges '80, an investment executive. The couple has three young children. Their marriage created an alliance between two growing Trinity families. Kee Borges' brother, Robert Kee is a member of the Class of 1980 and three of Peter Borges' siblings are alumni: Francisco Borges '74, Francesca Borges '82, and Maria Borges Correia '85. Saundra Kee Borges is also a community leader, serving as a member of the board of the Connecticut Legal Aid Soc iety and of the Connecticut Valley Girl Scouts. An active alumna, she serves as a founder and executive vice-president of the Trinity Black Alum ni Association. - Andrew Walsh

The Trinity Club of Chicago enjoyed a busy fall. This season's activities kicked off with a great send off picnic for new students. Hosted by D ede Seeber B oyd '81, the event drew 50 alumni, parents, and new and current students. We had great weather and a great cookout. In October, Scott Saperston '94 once again recruited a tremendous group of phonathon volunteers who had the most successful Chicago phonarhon ever. Bob Kehoe '69 generously provided phones for the group. A few days later, Dana Professor of ' Philosophy Drew Hyland visited Chicago and with the organizational help of Liz McDonald '92, gave a talk based on his course, "Philosophy of Sport," for about 25 alumni and parents. We rounded out the .fall with an incredible turnout of parents and graduates to welcome President Evan Dobelle to the Windy City. The President's talk not only gave our group a great introduction to his philosophy but provided another strong link back to "current events" on campus. Thanks to jim Shapiro '81 for organizing the event.

On August 22, we held our annual reception for incoming freshmen and their parents for not only Fairfield County, but also Westchester County. This resulted in a record-breaking turnout of more than 80 people. This very successful event was hosted by Linda and Kenneth Wiltsek '64, the parents of Brett Wiltsek '99. Karen Isgur '92 from the Alumni Office and our NAA Vice President for Admissions Gwynne MacColl Campbell '77 were once again in attendance and made sure that it was a huge success.

The New Haven Club had a productive fall in 1995, with several well-attended events. In November, one of the highlights was a Coach's Luncheon held at the Graduate Club with Stan Ogrodnik, basketball coach of Trinity's NCAA Final Four team, and his co-captains, Keith Wolff '96 and Troy McKelvin '96. The commentaries and discussion left everyone with an impression of the thrill associated with Final Four action. While Coach Ogrodnik's comments were timely and interesting, many who attended felt the inclusion of current students in this event made it.even more meaningful due to their insights and enthusiasm. Another fall highlight was a cookout luncheon prior to the Hamilton game in October. Other co-sponsors of this event were the Fairfield and New London Clubs. Despite the weather, which drove us into the Smith House, all involved had a good time, and a good meal. The highlight of this event was the chance to meet President Evan Dobelle, who stopped by with his son, Harry, en route to the game. The Club looked forward to a reception January 30 in honor of President Dobelle, and a Long Wharf Theater event scheduled for February.

What's wrong with reuning, anyway?

continued from page 54

56 How are you going to impress someone on whose shoes you once vomited? Why try' So these gettogethers can be an important reality check, letting you bond with those who knew you when and who can spot the mask you might have worn too long to recognize. Reunions can also produce the unexpected bonus of a new friend with a common background. That's because most of us have shed the fraternity identifications that once split the campus into inane subgroups, and because spouses couldn't care less about those Greek letters. Similar interests have replaced old social stratifications, leading to some (dare one say it') networking. Plenty of full-time and free-lancing gigs have been prompted by a chance meeting at Alma Mater. More than sensitive "new age" mannerisms allow former schoolmates to talk frankly and confidentially about parenting dilemmas, financial worries, job problems. Ancient friends aren't into scoring points, perhaps because we've all realized that success is in the eye of the beholder. For some of us, "success" may be travel; for another, money; for a third, a break-even enterprise that lets you be your own boss. Our class was a competitive incubator for a competitive profession,

split about evenly between us wellscrubbed college editors and intimidating gray-beards of 23 or so, with a couple of years of wire service experience under their belts. At graduation, suffering from intense circulation envy, we ranked each other by the size of the papers we joined. Now PR men and professors, correspondents and general managers, we have elbows that are less sharp, and the fellowship is higher. There's less comparison and more recollection of teachers' insistence on high standards. In our case, chats with fellow grads in the same profession can be frank and useful reminders of why we got into the business in the first place, particularly valuable as we face new economic realities. No longer can we expect the average media owner to view journalism as a public trust, to see libel suits and vaguer fears as a cost of doing business. But, does that necessarily mean we should give up? Is there a middle ground? That's something it's easier and safer to ponder with a classmate than with the corporate powers-that-be. Anyway, what's wrong with reuning, with recharging your emotional batteries, with taking advantage of a decades-old support system? Back to the past! It sure beats the

Despite the excitement of the Agassi/Sampras 1995 US Open fi nal, the real enthusiasm was generated by 50 g ung-ho Bantams, exuberant to see each other again at this annual event . Three weeks after the Open, the young and not-so-young alumni welcomed new alum ni ro rown at a fraternity-like bash on the Upper East Side. In mid-October, Bill Tu1'ner '62 enlightened his fellow alumni as to the future of banking over lunch at the Williams Club. Thanks to Scott Cassie '82 for organizing this sellout event as part of the Club 's Business Lunch series . As crisp winds from the North broug ht low temperatures to town this October, so roo did they bring Professor Jack Chatfield '64 to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The capt ivat ing history professor delivered an intriguing lecture characterizing the subjects painted by J ohn Singleton Cop ley that were on exhibit at the time. Thanks toJennifer Tesoro '91 who, through her perseverance and guile, was able to secure a lecture hall at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the event.

A week later, the cultural hunger of Trinity alumni was satiated on a Soho Gallery Walk led by Clay D ebevoise '7 5, a cutting-edge artist whose work was on display in an exciting exhibition featuring the new medi um of computer-generated art. We also met Patrick O'Connell '7 5 who discussed his work on Day W it hout Art , an international demonstration by galleries, m useums, theaters and other arts organizations to mark the loss of lives due to AIDS. In mid-November, many alumni travelled back to Trinity for the Homecoming game. After years of alumni suffering the post-game doldrums/pre-party angst, the New York committee created joy in this heretofore barren period: the first annual Evening Reception. Many thanks to the other area clubs whose contributions were also used to make this party a success. As hectic as the December social schedule was, it hit a high note as 30 alumni were able to en joy the sounds of the Masterwork Chorus performing the "Messiah" at Carnegie Hall. Our thanks to Susan Coleman '83 fo r organi zing such a treat.

T he San Francisco Club's most successful holiday party ever was held on December 9. Over 40 Bay-Area alumni enjoyed kicking off the holiday season in the lovely Pacific Heights home of Maxine Skaggs '95. We were especially happy to entertain Trinity Trustee Michael Michigami '69 and his wife, Sharon, and son ,J ohn Wilson '95. SFers' love of fine food was evident in the hors d 'oeuvres prepared by a number of alums ... no boring chips and dip for us .. .mushroom pate, thai lamb in lettuce bowls, eggplant chutney, etc.! We wandered through the three-story home, adm iring the paintings and collages done by none other than Maxine's uncle and discovered that linda Ronstadt 's SF home is directly behind Maxine's! Special thanks to our hostess , as well as the committee members who put on such a great bash: J ohanna Pitocchelli '82, Dave Grant '91 , Rebecca B urt '92, Andrea M ooney Leavitt '83, Scott Gerien '90, J ay Gangi '86 and Joe Shield '85.

The Trinity Club of Washington kicked off the fall with a gathering at the Old Ebbitt Grill on September 27. Over 25 area alumni and friends attended, including some alumni who have just recently relocated to the Washington area. An enthusias tic, spirited group of 14 alumni helped boost the Alumn i Fund by making calls at the October 23 phonathon hosted by D avid B eers '57 at the law offices of Shea & Gardner. On October 28, the Club held a special tour of the Old Executive Office Building. In November, we welcomed Professor of Politi cal Science Adrienne Fulco to speak the evening of November 2 at the International l aw Institute. Professor Fulco's topic was "The New Republican Majority: Revolt or Revolution." Just before Thanksgiving, young alumni gathered near Dupont Circle for happy hour and pool at Buffalo Billiards. In December, we rang in the holiday season with a gathering at the lighting of the National Christmas Tree followed by a festive cocktail party at the Occidental Grill. Then, on December 17, several alumni attended a wonderful performance of H andel's '.'Messiah" at the Kennedy .Center. Happy N ew Year!

Reporting with sadness the death of ANDY ONDERDONK. Andy was a loyal classmate, and gave much of himself for the benefi t of Trinity and of Trinity Episcopal Church. H e was the retired director of administrative services for the Aetna Life and Casualty Insurance Company. Among his many accomplishments it is to be noted that he was rhe chairman of the Alumni Fund from 1970 to 1972 and that he received the Alumni Medal in 1968. H e was the fourth member of our Class to receive the Eigenbrodt Trophy. He was an indefatigable worker, serving as the treasurer of the Phi Kappa chapter of Alpha Delta from 1956 until his death. H e was the treasurer of Trinity Episcopal Church for 2 1 years, and had also served ori the vestry. He was on the board of the H artford YMCA. He served in the Army duri ng Wo rld War II. At a memorial service at Trinity Episcopal Church, where our trustee THE REV. WILLIAM J. EAKINS '66 is the recror, Andy's many accomplishments were extolled; those concerning Trinity, by JERRY HANSEN '51. Andy was the vice presiden t of our Class. When our Class president, CHUCK KINGSTON, died,

we wanted to promote Andy to president, but he refused, stating that Chuck should be our only president. His counsel and friendship to me will be greatly missed. ELLIOTT MAYO is convalescing in Litchfield, Conn. He and I were roommates in medical school. His wonderful wife, Cindy, has entered into her 90th year. What a landmark' As of this writing, BRYANT GREEN is reported as being seriously ill. We have been friends si nce being fellow Boy Scouts some 70 years ago.

YOUR SECRETARY went all the six-seven miles from Newington to Trinity on the Thursday evening starting the Reunion Weekend 1995, for the Half-Century Dinner and social, and was well rewarded for doing so . The social start with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres was nice, especially since I met the only other member of '36 there, - JOE KELLY, all the way fro m Florida. For some years, J oe's sister, Catherine Seymour, has been a resident of Avery Heights, aretirement home in Hartford. She has osteoporosis, and had suffered a fall lately so Joe had arrived in Hartford the day of the meeting and rook the opportunity to attend. Joe makes a practice of returning at intervals. We are both "townies" from Bulkeley High School and have been friendly from Bulkeley days. At our table for dinner we were joined by HARRY SANDERS '37 and Sabrina. Who should walk in and join us at our table as dinner was being served but our new president, EvanS. Dobelle. Of course, we were delighted, and he proved to be a good dinner companion and a very impressive man. Others at our table were from the staff: Naomi Amos, direccor of facult y g rants and government sponsored programs; and Tracy Tobi n '9 2, assistant director, annual fund. N aomi is also instruccor of piano and American music at the College. She played the accompaniment for the two members of the Class of '96 who sang and performed the entertainment that followed remarks by JERRY BANSEN '51 and President Dobelle.

The ceremony of induction for the 50th anniversary class into the Half-Century Club was omitted, and I sort of missed that. Not much to report about our classmates. It is with regret I have to mention that VIN TRIGG passed away July 14 (see In Memory). He had been residing in Boca Raton and Simsbury, bur didn 't often see us at reunions. Also, I note that LOUIS STEIN has finally joined the Trinity Club of Hartford , and is still holding his own with a tennis racket. He is ranked number one in New England in senior 75 doubles, and number two, in singles. I mentioned before that former Class Agent and Class Secretary, JACK HANNA, has finally retired from the University of Southern Maine, where he has been professor emeritus of English literature. He is now "adjunct" or part time instruccor of English- "frosh comp." and soph "lit. survey." He is now fully retired, but lectures and leads discussions at service clubs, senior residences, and nursing care centers. Those sessions keep him busy, although he still finds time for gardening, mowing, fast walking and slow jogging. I wish YOUR SECRETARY could say the same. My walking has slowed down a lot, but I still mow because holding the mower keeps me vertical and moving. Robert M. Ch r istensen 66 Centerwood Rd. Newington, Conn. 06111 Class Agent: Sherwood H.

The alumni office has received news of the death of :WILSON HAIGHT (see In Mem01路y). The College sends sincere condolences to his family. The Haighrs have been somewhat of a dynasty at Trinity : Bill's father, MONROE, graduated in 1900; his son, DAVID, and his son-in-law, PETER MILFORD, both graduated in 1967; his daughter, Katy Haight Milford, took a class at Trinity as part of her master's degree; and Bill's granddaughter, Rebecca, is a member of the current senior class.

N ot long before his deat h he celebrated the 50th anniversary of his ordination . Also celebrati ng his 50th anniversary in 1995 was BRAD FORD COLT ON '39 . Father Colton was the homilist at the fu neral mass. H e had earlier said that Father Phillips was "a very fine priest -hardworking, energetic, wi th a great sense of humor." Father Vincent Lyddy, who was ordained the same year as Father Phillips, said that "he was always considered intelligent, considerat e, reliable and jovial. H e was truly a churchman; he was truly one who was an inspirati on." I received a telephone call from J OHN CLARKE . John was inquiring about the campaign to set up a memorial to the Trini ty men who died in World War II. H e wanted to make a donation in memo ry of his budd ies who landed with him on Omaha Beach on the first day of the N ormandy invas ion. YOUR SECRETARY and Iva visited Central Europe this year.

The very morning after I had finis hed compiling the notes for the current Reporter, I read in The Washington Post that our classmate, THE REV. CH RISTOPHER LATIMER, had died. I had seen Chris from time to time over the last 20 years . in Washington and had come to know him better than I did in college. He was our valedictorian and continued an intellectual life at the very highest p lane . Details of his life will appear elsewhere in this magazine (see In Memory) . Suffice it to say that his last half dozen years were very arduous. H e k new me when I visited, but couldn 't talk . H e had a spiritual presence, though, that was truly radiant. Ironically, I had just been talking to ERNIE MOSHER about Chris. Ernie remembered sitting next to Chris in English class. Ernie has been in the Washington area for

many years and retired 15 years ago after 38 years at the renowned Goddard Space Research Center. Ernie was an engineer there and still pursues his career in a meaningful fas hion. H e is a volunteer tutor at the Universi ty of Maryland which has a learning center unique among universities in the U .S. Ernie works one-on-one with engineering students who may be having academic problems. The . Mashers have one child, a daughter, living in California, whom they visit. D uring a recent visit to H artford, I saw FOSTER RH INES, who to ld me about at tending the Immortals Dinner this spring. D AN NORTH was there , as was WALLY ANDERSON. O n the sad side, Wally's spouse passed away this summer. Our concern and sympathy to you, Wally. Hearing about D an encouraged me to give him a ring and I was rewarded by a long and entertaining conversation . Dan is another one of the class's numerous people who have gone into journalism . Dan ret ired as edi tor of The Litchfield (Conn.) Enquirer, which he tells me is the oldest weekly in Connecticut. Lots of local news, including no t ices for finding a lost wallaby. Dan served in the Coast Guard, doing everythi ng from lighthousetending to sub-chasing. I asked Dan if he was the guy who always had a pipe' clenched in the side of the

Got a great letter from our exClass President, DON VIERING, enclosing a picture of himself; battery-mate, BILL SCULLY; shortstop, J OE BEIDLER; and a well-known athlete from the Class of '43, swimmer DAVE TYLER. Don reminded me - how could I forget- of Trinity's 1 to 0 win over Yale, with Scully pitching, and Viering catch ing. Got a lette r from our Cape Cod correspondent, FRANC LADNER , who is busy writing articles for magazines, and getting them accepted. As I reported previously in this column, Franc has become a true antiquarian, specializing in toys of the late 19th and early 20th centuries . He also professionally evaluates old books. He just performed that evaluation service for his local li brary's annual book sale: 25,000 books . FRAN K FASI, the indefatigable, is still doing his radio talk show, two hours dai ly. Master of the positive attitude, he's put his latest election defeat behind him. YOURS T R ULY, after cooling his toes in Lake Superior all summer, is off in a few days for Crete and the Aegean.

Past recipients include Mayor Michael Peters, former Lt. Governor The Hon. Eunice Groark, former Governor William O'Neill, and former Trinity President James F. English, Jr. Hon '89. Peelle's citation read, in part: ... When you journeyed from your native Maryland to enter Trinity College, no one could predict that you would adopt Hartford as your own. Though transplanted, you have greatly sustained us with your energy and wisdom. If one were to characterize our Founding Fathers, three careful words would be stated. These same words are the essence of the character of William Ravenel Peel/e. The words: loyalty, dedication and participation. It is these traits that have resulted in your distinguished leadership at Trinity, in industry, and now for such diverse groups as St. Monica's, Camp Courant, the Old State House, the U.S.S. Nautilus, the Women's League Child Development Center, the Watkinson School and this ancient burying ground. With Puritan modesty you do not share the deeds you have done or the honors you have been rightly given. Too few know of your service to our country in World War 11, or that you were awarded a Bronze Star at lwo Jima. Too few know that as chairman of the Committee on Coeducation at Trinity College you opened the doors of that ivied institution to "all qualified undergraduate women." Equally important is that Trinity College in 1977 awarded you the distinguished Eigenbrodt Cup, its highest alumni honor, or that the United Way of the Capital Area named you Man of the Year. And for all your modesty, let the player beware of your prowess and determination on the courts of tennis. So today, we honor you for your old-fashioned principles, for your tireless dedication on our behalf, so that all will understand that you have more than made a difference ...

"The feeling around the College is good now."

Alfred Koeppel '54: The view

n a gray November day, Alfred Koeppel '54 left one campus meeting for another: he was invited to speak to the Trinity faculty at their regular monthly meeting. Entering McCook Auditorium, renovated to great effect during his tenure as chairman of the board of trustees, he carefully took off his emerald green overcoat and hat, neatly adjusted the coat on a chair, and prepared to talk to the assembled 100-plus faculty and administrators. With the scene came a sense of deja vu; Koeppel had come before, wearing the bright green coat on a drab winter's day, to talk earnestly to this group, so vital to the institution. As chairman, he had made several appearances before the faculty, many more than his predecessors, some occasioned by the changes in the presidency. During the critical time before Borden Painter ' 58 became interim president, Koeppel says, he had "a little taste of the college presidency . . . People were calling me and asking me to make decisions. I came up to the faculty meeting and spoke to the entire Trinity community. I think I was successful in letting people know there was nothing to worry about." Now, Koeppel told the faculty, the important issues before President Dobelle and

the trustees are: improvements in Trinity's immediate neighborhood; enhanced campus social life; construction of a student social center and new 80-bed dormitory; reevaluation of the curriculum and, concommitantly, of the size of the faculty; the search to fill five target-of-opportunity positions on the faculty; greater admission selectivity over the next five years to increase both the quality and diversity of the freshman class entering in the fall of the year 2000; more aggressive marketing of the College; implementation of the Strategic Plan; and, the continuing progress toward coeducation of the Greek-letter groups . Clearly, the agenda for the College is ambitious. But, notes Koeppel, the many letters he receives from parents and alumni assure him ofTrinity's bright prospects. "The feeling around the College is good now," he says. "We feel good about ourselves and our future. I know I certainly do. We have a very good man {Evan Dobelle} at the helm who will challenge the status quo and make waves, and that's fine. Because, you know, without waves surfers have nothing to ride on!"

At right in the background, the downtown office building where Koeppel & Koeppel is located, at 26 Broadway.

The decade of Koeppel's trusteeship and past five and one-half years of his leadership have been eventful, years of change for the institution when his discernment and constancy have been welcome. These qualities, and his ability to serve, were apparent from his undergraduate days . Choosing Trinity as his

brother, Bevin '47, had done previously, Alfred found it to be the ideal liberal arts college. While his secondary schooling provided excellent grounding, Trinity gave breadth and depth to his learning and intellect. He completed Brownell Professor of Philosophy Harry Costello's reading survey (and still has the graded papers from

from the chairmanS desk the course), studied with great professors like Gus Andrian '40, Thurman Hood, Hal Dorwart, Norton Downs and Bob Stewart. Serving as the manager for soccer and swimming, he earned several varsity letters, just one shy of the six which rewarded students with a coveted Trinity blanket. He achieved Dean's List, worked on the Tripod and as editor-inchief of the Ivy, and enjoyed membership in his fraternity, Theta Xi . Immediately after graduation, he joined the family business, married, and began studying for his law degree. While he was finishing Brooklyn Law School, he and his wife, Ruth, were starting a fami ly. Their children- Caleb '78, David '80 and Sarah '83 - have followed their father to Trinity and to Koeppel & Koeppel, a firm now specializing in commercial real estate in midtown and downtown Manhattan. Alfred had not been out of Trinity for very long when he became involved in alumni interviewing for admiss ions. For a wh ile he helped in a special program aimed at recruiting scholar-athletes for Trinity. He and Ruth, both art enthusiasts, enjo yed several museum tours planned by the development office. And, he recalls going to the dinner gathering of the New York alumni every year. "I just stayed in touch basically," he says. "I believe in giving back to organizations that have been there for me, whether it's in money or in effort . I was involved in Little League and hockey, when my kids were little . . You only go

past once; you only get one chance. If you miss that chance, you will never have it again. "The same thing is true with institutions. I still give money to my day school annually; I obviously give to Trinity (the Koeppel Student Center on campus is named in honor of Alfred and Bevin}; I still contribute to my children's day school, on whose board I served for a while; and then I give money to each of their prep schools. I feel that these places were there for me and my fami ly, and if you don't support these institutions, within the limits of your ability, then the next generation or two generations out, they won't be there. If they were worthwhile enough for you to use them, they are worthwhile enough to give back.'' He has been a trustee, vice president and honorary trustee of Temple Beth El of Great Neck for over two decades. In his community, he was a director of the United Community Fund of Great Neck, Treasurer of the Village of Kings Point, President of Kings Point Little League and president of his golf club. His commitment of hours to Trini.ty has been egually generous. An enthusiastic fund-raiser for the College, he took an act ive role in the Ford Challenge Campaign and served on the Major Gift Committees of the last two capital campaigns, most recently as vice chairman.

He was also a warm and helpful colleague in facing the m any day-to-day exigencies of college and departmental life. "To his graduate students, he was a wise and thoughtful mentor who demanded and received profound commitment and in return, guided them through their trials as graduate students, then through their selection of postdoctoral sponsor and their fi rst academic position.

Matt, as you all know is EVP of the San Jose Sharks, and is generall y credited as the man behind the most successful new hockey team in the NHL. To accomplish that, Matt used his old consumer products marketing thinking and process to help make the teal and black magic happen. Cong ratulations, Matt. My old pal, ED CIMILLUCA, has recently moved into the same building in Gotham as I'm in, so we have the chance to catch up a little more often than most. But do we do it? We used to see each other more often in Freshman Chapel than we do now. And that wasn't any too frequently. As I write this, I'm planning to be on the campus this Saturday, trying to catch a little of the Williams game prior to attending a pre-inaugural dinner dance for Evan Dobelle . I'll take the liberty and offer Evan the best wishes for a brilliant p residency from all of the Class of '60. I said I'd be brief this time, but don't get used to it.

CLASS REUNION June 6-9, 1996

As this is written, you should be getting calls and letters about our 35th Reunion, June 6-9, 1996 . Class fundra isers and the like assembled at Trinity in the fall to plan the campaign, with hopes that the turnout will be even greater than for the 30th. Meanwhile, the usual suspects (eight, to be exact) assembled for the third annual Big Chill weekend at DALE PEATMAN's Cape Cod estate, with many surviving the road trip to Provincetown. A source discloses that LOU MUTSCHLER's son has married a delightful woman in Dallas. Alas, they are alleged to have met at an institution in Middletown, Conn. whose name is barred from !l1ention 'neath the elms. History note for today: Toledo Mayor CARTY FINKBEINER claims the 17 94 Battle of Fallen Timbers was fought on his路 turf, and that anthropolog ists claiming otherwise just don't dig the truth . And you thought those Norton Downs lectures wouldn't prove useful. RICK BOARDMAN has joined the Newark, N.J. law firm of Crummy, Del Dio, Dolan, Griffinger & Vecchione, which may sound like one of those buddy platoons in World War II movies, but is actually a major player in the health care field . Rick is co unsel to the Crummy corporate department, moving over from a vice-presidency at the pharmaceutical giant , Hoffman-LaRoche. Onward and upward also moves ALAN MANDELL, now president of the Connecticut Society of Certified Public Accountants. RON POLSTEIN writes that he's enjoying his retirement, his four grandch ildren, and the British Columbia Jazz Society. See you all in June.

News from the alumni office: Trinity Engineering Professor DAVID AHLGREN joined 26 business leaders and guests from the College at an October Business and Industry Dinner at the home of President and Mrs. Evan Dobelle. The dinners reacquaint Connecticut

business leaders with the College, its goals and some of the strategic challenges it faces. The dinners also showcase Trinity as a place where the business community might consider hosting its own events. Professor Ahlgren joined United Technologies Corporation Vice President Ken Green at the dinner as part of Trinity's stewardship of UTC's most recent contribution to Trinity, ($300,000 to support the. UTC/Trinity Engineering Initiative). Also from the alumni office: Religion Professor FRANK KIRKPATRICK gave a talk during the ethics portion of the American Academy of Religion's annual meeting in Philadelphia this fall.

President's Leadership Medal goes to George Kellner '64 The following is the text of the citation awarded:

"Tonight we salute a man whose achievements and ideals we admire and seek to emulate. In his youth he experienced hardship and never forgot what that was like . In the topsy-turvy world of finance, he has faced chaotic times calmly and resolutely, handling difficulties as they came his way. He has worked hard to achieve success, bur always remembered to help others. A bottomline, results-oriented person, he has proven time and time again his commitment to Trinity and to our students. He believes in liberal arts education. As a student here, he took advantage of the opportunity to explore widely in the curriculum. A history major, he was a Dean's List student and earned membership in Pi Gamma Mu. He played tennis and was introduced to squash, which became a lifelong passion. After graduating from Columbia Law School, he worked as an attorney before developing an interest in securities. Receiving his M.B.A. from New York University, he worked as a securities analyst, then in arbitrage as senior vice president for Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette , before starting his own firm in 1981. Through the years his involvement in this College has been unwavering, and his support of our students unsurpassed. His gifts are targeted and purposeful. He funds scholarships for Trinity students whose parents are connected with academic or educational enterprises. A program he established brings students from Hungary to study at Trinity. Bur, he also generously commits to needs identified by the College that are not his particular interests. His gift in the last capital campaign enabled us to go forward with plans for a much-needed academic building. And, his generosity continues in the current campaign. His greatest gifts to us are of his time and wisdom. As a trustee, he is an energetic and thoughtful contributor to discussions on the College's plans for the future. His insight informed the efforts of the trustee committee on Greek-letter organizations on campus, and the work of the presidential search committee. He also serves on the trustees' institutional advancement, investment and executive committees, and on The Trinity College Campaign Steering Committee. A true friend of education, he has been a trustee of Milton Academy and the Allen Stevenson School. He also serves on the boards of social service and corporate organizations. This is a man about whom it can be said, 'He truly makes a difference in the world.' For his devotion, his magnanimous spirit, and noble endeavors, we are proud to present the President's Leadership Medal to George A. Kellner, Class of 1964. " Above, at the President's Clubs and Inaugural Dinner in the fall, announcement was made of the presentation of the 1995 President's Leadership Medal to George A. Kellner '64. Because he was not able to attend the dinner, some of the Trinity students receiving Kellner scholarships accepted the medal from President Dobelle on his behalf. Shown at the dinner are: from left to right, front row, Laura Triano '97 from Plantsville, Conn.; and Zsuzsu Laszlo, a Visiting Kellner Scholar from Budapest, Hungary.

In a semifinal game in the last Little League World Series, a kid from the Texas ream slid into home (beating a not-great throw) for the go-ahead run . The kid, on his knees, at the p late, began a celebration ritual, throwing in staccato style, a bunch of body bag-type punches. On the same team, another ki d hit a home run and waved "bye-bye" to the ball as it went over the fence. Both acts made the highlight film, so the kids are happy. It is obvious those two kids, their coaches, and their parents never saw Mickey Mantle play, or if they d1d, learned nothing. Mickey Mantle was the most awesome and thrilling baseball player ever. He was the fastest player from home to first (2 .9 seconds). And he could hit. In one game against the Washington Senators, Mickey Mantle hit two home runs (off knuckleballer Chuck Stobbs), and each flew over 5 50 feet! No one has ever hit a fair ball out of Yankee Stadium, but Mantle came the closest. Batting lefty, Mickey hit a monster home run that- on its way ! -hit the stadium facade 18 inches below the roof line. Yet when Mickey Mantle hit a home run, he didn't wave "byebye," or glower at the pitcher, or run the bases like a dancer from MTV. He just circled the bases, and as he learned from his predecess~r in center field, Joe DiMaggio, who, in turn, had learned from the Babe, modestly doffed his cap to the crowd. Mickey played the game like a kid, and like a kid is supposed to play. He played with guys named Billy and Whitey, Moose, Hank, Yogi, and Casey. He played against guys who came from where RICH RATZAN grew up, named Duke and Peewee and Jackie. It was as if the parents who christened those kids, or the neighborhoods which nicknamed them, already knew the boys were going to be major league baseball players. In the memorable detox scene in "The French Connection," Gene Hackman as Popeye Doyle, tells his French policeman colleague about Mickey Mantle: "The Mick, he could hit a ton." He also had tons of class, and that's why we allowed Mickey Mantle ro become an honorary member of the great Trinity College Class of 1967. Oh, incidentally, in the championship game of the Little League World Series,

Texas lost 17 ro 4. Bye-bye. Talk about class: Dr. Susan Rat zan (wife of Brooklyn native Dr. Richard Ratzan) was, once again, a prime mover in the 1Oth Ann~al J uveni le D iabetes Foundatwn s Walk for the Cure.

CAL WICK has two new dogs, both yellow labs. Cal named the dogs Emma and Dudley. That is so sweet. On less important matters, Cal is ahead of schedule to publish his second book in the field of how companies learn. His first book was a business bestseller.

The news that came over the wire recently about members of our Class show what a wonderfully diverse group it is . Over the summer BURT ADELMAN was appoinred vice pres ident of r}!gularory affairs at Biogen in Cambridge, Mass. The position is one in a series of interesting and p restigious appointmenrs . After graduating from Cornell Medical College, Burt was an instructOr of JUedicine at Harvard Medical School and associate physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston . He has also been a professor of medicine at the Med ical College of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth U ni versi ty. Burt joined Biogen in 1991 as director of medical research. Biogen is a ptlarmaceutical company principally engaged in developing and

manufacturing drugs for human healthcare through genetic engineering. I happen to know that Burt's daughter started Stanford as a freshman this past fall. I imagine others in the Class are beginning to send offspring to college. Any Bantams in the crop' MICHAEL NOBBS reports in from a new address in London. He is the group finance director of Tishman International Companies, which seems to be based in both Los Angeles and London. That makes Hartford a perfect midpoint ... particularly for a Reunion. We missed you at the 20th, so start making reservations for the 25th! TY GELTMAKER writes from the University of South California where he received a Ph.D. in history and currently teaches Italian history and literature in the department of French and Italian. The Ph.D. dissertation, "Masquerade and Sacrifice: Honor in Italy from Unification to World War," dealt with issues of honor and national identity in debates over Italian law, monuments, dueling, suicide, and war at the turn of the century. On another cultural front, JOHN SIMONE stepped down as executive director of the Hartford Ballet last April. I can't help but remember the young man in my Trinity dance class junior year who wore black tights and had a head of curly red hair! That must have been the beginning of an illustrious career that included John's being a founding member of the Hartford Ballet in 1972, as well as a principal dancer. His training came from the Martha Graham and Alvin Ailey schools, as well as the Hartford Ballet. He has lectured and taught master classes throughout the U.S. John rose through the ranks of the Ballet, holding positions such as road manager, administrative director, managing director and finally executive director. His career also included a two-year tenure as general manager of the Cleveland Ballet. We would love to know what you are up to now, John. On Nov. 3 The Hartford Courant contained a front-page article about new evidence supporting the theory of an X-linked genetic basis for male homosexuality. The team of geneticists who have provided this evidence is headed by DEAN HAMER. (Coincidentally, the piece was written by CURT SUPLEE '66 of The Washington Post.) Dean was also mentioned in a piece on recent genetic developments in Science Times and was interviewed on a November 3rd segment of "Morn-

Our oldest son has just completed his freshman year at James Madison University, and our daughter will be a high school freshman in the fall! I have cut back on a host of volunteer commitments to become a part-time associate at Talbots, and to work seasonally at a greenhouse. Would love to hear from any classmates who pass this way!" I was thrilled to receive a letter from a long-lost buddy, GREG ZEC. As Greg states in his opening sentence, "After 22 years, it's time to make a contribution to Class Notes." Greg, his wife, and three daughters have been living "happily" in the Netherlands since 1993 where Greg is affiliated with Merck's Dutch subsidiary. He proudly reports that his daughters, ages eight, 10 and 12, are all attending Dutch schools and were fully fluent after only one and one-half years. Greg's letter also included the following, "Danny Hope you are well. My memory of you is the long, dark locks, glasses and a nice, big smile." Well, Greg, I still have the g lasses and big smile. Greg hopes to see any friends and classmates who are passing through or living in the Netherlands. He also plans on being at the 25th Reunion in 1998.

LISA GILLETTE writes from Pasadena, Calif. where she is a conference services manager for Ritz-Carlton, serving as liaison between the hotel and groups having conferences there. She enjoys being on the "other side" of conferences now, having worked for many years in hotel "operations." Lisa says the Pasadena location brings some exciting events to the "local branch" such as Rose Bowl- and World Cup-related gatherings. "Last summer it was an international crossroads here," she writes . The hotel recently hosted a monthlong television press tour to launch the new t.v. season . Reporters checked into the Ritz-Carlton for a month while the networks came through in three-to-four-day segments, showing off their fall line-ups, complete with actors , producers, directors, etc. What with the networks trying to outdo each other, each night provided much fun and entertainment even for the help, she says. Gillette, who has also worked for the Four Seasons chain, claims her years at the "good old Corner Tap Cafe" prepared her well for her career and helped her secure employment at the top hotel groups. Her guesthouse abode in the foothills of Pasadena comes with coyotes trotting across the front lawn "like the neighbors' dogs." As for domesticated companions, Lisa shares her house with a three-yearold crow named Monty, who hasn't flown since a wing injury in babyhood that didn't heal properly (but he hops like a fiend) and a one-yearold German shepherd named Spencer, whom she retri eved from the local humane society as a birthday present to herself last year. Dog and bird coexist peacefully, most of the time. About a year ago, Lisa, suffering from "mid-thirties meaningless of life syndrome," joined Big Sisters/ Big Brothers and is matched happily with a now nine-year-old Japanese-American girl whom she describes as "beautiful, smart and shy.

Takisg a bite out of the Big Apple

A restaurateur with great style and a big heart

Opening a firstclass restaurant in Manhattan when you 're in your 20s looks a bit risky to the more cowardly among us. But no, says Danny Meyer '80 , who launched the Union Square Cafe in the fall of 1985, when he was 27. You may fail, he says , but the chances for bi g success are better in New York. He oug ht to know. He is the first person ever to have two restaurants chosen for the Zag at Survey of the city's most popular restaurants. The 1996 Guide nam es Meyer's Union Square Cafe #2 an d the Gramercy Tavern, wh ich opened just a year an d a half ago , #1 0.

The Union Square Cafe Cookbook, co-authored with Union Square Cafe chef Michael Romano, last year won the Julia Child Award, presented by t he International Association of Culinary Professionals. Union Square Cafe has won the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence seven times, and was named one of the country's top 25 restaurants in America by Food and Wine magazine. Meyer sends a newsletter to 30,000 Union Square Cafe customers, strives to meet every winemaker whose wine he carries, and gives his staff annual $600 vouchers so that they can see the operation from a customer's perspective. With such painstaking attention to his profession, it is easy to see why Meyer won the first-ever James Beard Outstanding Service Award.

But, working to help poor New Yorkers improve their lot means almost as much as the public recognition to Meyer, a St. Louis native. A national board member of the anti-hunger organization Share Our Strength, and winner of its Humanitarian of the Year Award, Meyer was among those who convinced American Express to sponsor restaurants' anti-hunger efforts. The ads in which he appeared for American Express cast Union Square Cafe in a great light, he says, but, more importantly, helped to focus attention on the problem. In its first two years, the program has raised over five million dollars, through events like Gramercy Tavern's September guest-chef gala dinner, 100 percent of whose proceeds went to Share Our Strength.

Meyer also is on the board of City Harvest in New York, which delivers restaurants' wrapped, leftover food to shelters. And he serves on the business advisory committee of One City Cafe, a not-for-profit restaurant, 40 percent of whose employees are New York's formerly homeless and sheltered. The restaurant gives a 60 percent discount to anyone paying with food stamps. Meyer didn't have a career plan firm ly in hand when he began at Trinity, except "to be attractive to g irls." A political science major, he worked as a Senate intern in Washington and as a volunteer for George McGovern. He was also interested in broadcasting and worked as news director and as a jazz show host at W RTC. H e was t he first freshman ever to do a legislative internship. In addition to broadcasting and politics , at Trinity he pursued a nascent interest in food and wine. He ran for steward of Alpha Delta Phi on the platform of improving the food. One of his favorite memories from a student-taught course in wine is of regular, Sunday evening wine-castings with his roommate and still good friend, Mark Leavitt '80. "When we had finished our homework for the night, we would share a bottle of wine in our room. Bordeaux went quite well with ABC Pizza, if I recall, " he winks. A continuing love affair with Italy began the summer that he was 20, when he was a tour guide in Rome. "I came back and took a lot of Italian my junior year from Dr. Campo. I had taken a course or two from Dr. Gastmann, and a bunch of us convinced Dr. Campo to set up a special international politics program within t he Barbieri program. It was great for me. I

had just spent the previous summer there, showing Americans around Rome. I took people from the Rome Campus out to eat all the time, just as I had when I was a tour guide . By this time, I had developed kind of a second family in Rome. The restaurant owners were always happy to see me because I'd be bringing a lot of business in tow." After graduation he pursued journalism for a while, working at the public television station in Chicago. Then he acccepted a job offer to be the Cook County field coordinator for J ohn Anderson 's p residential campaign . He was thrilled to see his Trinity experiences paying off, but at the end of the campaign, with Anderson getting just seven percent of the vote, he felt burned out. He decided to m ove to New York "to get that out of my system ." H e took a job selling anti-theft devices and became the company's leading salesman in New York. Still searching, he took the law boards. He did well , but knew he didn 't want to be a lawyer. "I just kept being fasci nated by food." A friend in banking,]. Connor Seabrook '80, introduced him to the owner of a New York restaurant, Pesca, who hired him as an assistant manager at $25 0 a week. "I gave up this very lucrative sales job to try to get this restaurant business out of m y system. And I loved it. " Through contacts, he arranged to work in trattorias in Italy and restaurants in France, apprenticing in the kitchen so that he could open his own restaurant. "I thought I was going to be the chef, but over there I learned that I would much prefer to work in the dining room, in m anagement .

"A lot of this formative stuff that was happening during Trinity and the Rome Campus p lays together because being in politics, being in broadcasting and being in the restaurant business all have being on stage in common. You create a space in the restaurant u ntil people like it enough to want to come back. The audience is different every day and that creates a different kind of energy. "Any restaurant needs to provide a transporting experience. Take people off the sidewalk and as soon as they open the door to the restaurant, they should feel like they've just gotten off an airplane some other place and like you've taken them to another ci ty." The bright and pleasing decor of his two restaurants reflects influences from the world over; so do the dishes served. Meyer creates them with chef and partner Michael Romano at Union Square Cafe and chef Tom Colicchio at Gramercy Tavern. "We have an expression that my job is to hum a tune and the chef's job is to play it better than it's ever been played before. I'll say, 'you know when I was buying wines in Alsace, I had chis

amazing dish.' I'll describe it and then together we'll try to determine how transportable that experience is. Usually they can create a dish better than the first time I ever had it. "This is a fascinating business because I can be a wine buyer, a recipe consultant, a service director, an accountant, a p.r. and marketing director, m aitre d'." And, of course, agent for change in the community where he lives. "A lot of my interest in poli ~ i cs has been issue-oriented. Every candidate I ever worked for has had a progressive, social agenda. I took Clyde McKee's urban politics courses, and yo u know, it's tough to be just numb to urban problems . They've always meant a lot to me. I'm not a politician, but politicians aren 't the only people who can effect change or improvement in other people's lives."

"Well, you don't get tO be number 13 for nothing," I said . The newsroom was about 106 degrees that day with our air conditioning on "brown-our" because of a local power shortage due to the extreme temperatures . But CNN seemed pleased just to be away from the livestock barns and "funnel cakes." Naturally I missed the program's airing because the producers gave us the wrong times for broadcasting.

CLASS REUNION June 6-9, 1996

We're coming up on our Fifteenth Year Reunion this June. Fifteen years ago we were 21 or 22 years old. Fifteen years from now we'll be 51 or 52 years old. Let's get together now while we can still recognize each other. Come meet each other's kids, old friends, sit on the Quad under the stars on a soft night in Jun e, eat lobster and corn on the cob, wear those "Hello, my name is ... " tags, rise to wakefulness in a dorm, a little confused as to how old we really are. You'll receive word about the details, but let's all go. Albright College Scholar SIDNIE WHITE CRAWFORD

was the subject of a press release this past August headlined "Albright Scholar Decodes D ead Sea Scrolls." I quote, "Crawford is one of a handful of scholars who have earned such authorization from the Israel Antiquities Authority; she is a member of an elite and learned few permitted to enter the scrollery and handle its priceless contents - fragments of the famous yet mysterious Dead Sea Scrolls. As a member of the international publication team, she applies her expertise in Hebrew script, language, and history in transcribing and analyzing these bits of leather manuscripts which date to around the year 2 B.C." According to White Crawford, the scrolls "help us tO know better the people who surrounded Jesus and where their ideas came from, and they enhance our understanding of modern J uclaism and the roots of this tenacious belief and heritage. They raise questions of canon: What did the Jews think of as sacred I Did they distinguish between these manuscripts and the originals?" Sidnie White Crawford, Ph.D. is assistant professor of religious stud ies, chair of the Albright College faculty. She received her Ph.D . from Harvard Divinity as well as her M.T.S. WILLIAM H. PAINE was elected senior partner at Hale and Dorr, one of the largest general practice law firms in New England. He is a member of the litigation department, and has a general litigation practice with an emphasis on securities matters . DR. BOB ORENSTEIN writes, "I am still in Richmond, reaching med students, residents and fellows at the Medical College of Virginia where I'm an assistant professor of medicine in the divisions of primary care and infectious diseases. This past year I was appointed the director of the HIV/AIDS program at the Richmond VA Medical Center where I coordinate the clinical research studies and primary and consultative care for our veterans with HIV. "In our spare time away from our careers, we're fortunate to be a

If any of you all are in the area, be sure to look us up nor too many Trinity-ires down here below the Mason-Dixon." From NANCY MCCULLOCH FLANAGAN comes a note: "Raising three-year-old twins and working half-time for W. L. Gore & Associates in Delaware has given me just the right balance of adventure and challenge, both at home and at work. I couldn't be happier. I am still playing tennis and reading a lor with the kids. I keep in tOuch with a few classmates - TUCKER ELLINGHAUS, JULIE RENSHAW- PHILIPS and LUCY RODRIGUEZ - and look forward to seeing lo ts of people at Reunion!"

about. You folks actually sent me letters. I'm still finding it hard to believe that all my begging has finally paid off, but just read on and you' ll see! I received a great letter from PHIL ROBERTSON ... talk about interesting stuff! Phil returned to the U.S. in the summer of '94 after spending several years in Thailand. Up until the end of August, Phil was living in Washington, D.C. and working as program officer on international development issues in Southeast Asia.for the AFL-CIO's Asia Institute. Since then, Phil has gone on to begin his pursuit of a master's degree in international relations (focusing on development issues in the Asian regional context) at Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies. While he was still in D.C. , Phil saw quite a few Trinity people including JON KULOK and VICTORIA ARTHAUD, ANN and CHUCK CASPAR!, LIAM O 'SULLIVAN and SUE KLUBIER, PETER EISLER and MIMI HALL, JONATHAN MOORE, and JOHN SHIFFMAN. Phil joked "not all were the Class of '87, but then neither was I when I started Trinity!" EVE STREISAND MARKMAN wrote to me and enclosed an adorable photo of her son, Craig Abraham Markman, born on March 9, 1995 (six pounds, 15 ounces). The cute little guy was decked out in a Trinity t-shirt and match ing sweats! Although Eve was home during the first few months of Craig's life, she is now back at work and very busy. In June 1995 Eve and husband , J eff, took a trip to New Orleans where she ran into classmate, SUSAN HYMAN. Susan, Eve asked me to publicly thank you for all the good advice on what to do and where to eat! Eve also was able to report that ANNE and CHRIS HYLAND have recently had their second child. Aidan Christopher Hyland was born on J une 1, 1995 and weighed six pounds , 13 ounces . Thanks for the news, Eve. DAVE BONOMO was also kind enough to drop me a note. H e has recently joined t he Berwind Financial Group, L.P. in Philadelphia. In his new position, Dave will focus on middle market corporate finance, wit h an emphasis on mergers/acquisitions, private placements, and corporate reorganizations. Another Dave from whom we received a le tter chock full 'o big news was our buddy, DAVE BOONE. Dave is still living and working in Seattle, and recen tly became engaged to his gi rlfriend of several years , H eidi . Congratula-

tions! It sounds like 't hose two have been taking some great trips this summer, including one to Whistler, British Columbia, where he proposed. D ave also said that they've done some great rafting in Oregon, and he has done quite a bit of rock climbing. Another interesting and exciting letter came from PAM SIAFLAS. Pam happily reported her enagement to Phillip Mohr in May in Essex, Conn. They plan to be married next year in Greece. I m et Phillip at Homecoming several years ago, and he is the nicest guy. Congratulations, Pam. Pam and Phillip have been very busy lately ! Pam graduated from Cambridge in England in 1992 and then moved to Hamburg, Germany to work in advertising. Pam is currentl y account director for international accounts with Foote Cone Belding Hamburg. Clients include AT&T, Colgate, and even some Greek companies. Phillip recently finished his law studies, and is working in H amburg as well. Paip has only been back to the States once in the last two years, and has no plans to move back in the near future. Both Pam and Phillip love H amburg, and travel often to London, Paris, Greece, Switzerland, etc. Sounds ro die for, huh ?

Okay, that's it on all the letters I received, but didn 't they provide a bounty of information) Don't stop reading yet ... I still have numerous tidbits of news to report that I've obtained from sources other than written correspondence . I had a long talk with STEVE GERBER one night in May, as he call ed under the guise of a dutiful phone-a-thoner to raise money for Trinity. Steve is currently working as a lawyer at the Philadelphia firm of Cozen & O'Connor. He and his wife live in Bryn Mawr with their two-and-on,e-half year old daughter, Emily, and they are expecting baby number two in September. Steve proved to be a good source of information after I told him I wouldn't give a red cent un less he forked over some good info. So this is what he came up with . KEN JURISH was married in October of '94. He and his wife, Heidi, live in Chicago where Ken is an environmental consultant. AUSTIN KEYES is a fi rst-year law student at Fordham. ROGER ESNARD and his wife, Laurie, have two sons, and Roger is still working for Federated in New York City. LUCIUS PALMER and his wife, MURIEL '85, are expecting their first child.

BRAD BABBITT is working for Robinson & Cole in Hartford. MURPHY, ANDRE JOHN and I got together in July to talk about some fundraising Murphy and I are going to try on behalf of EXCEL, a program which Andre directs. The program goes into some of Boston's inner-city schools and addresses second- and third-graders, teaching them the value of education, staying off d rugs and out of gangs, etc. It is a huge task and Andre is trying to make it all happen on a very limited budget, with only a handful of volUnteers. Andre was able to provide me with some good information. He actually was heading off to JEFF USEWICK's bachelor party. Jeff was to be married sometime this summer. He speaks to TODD NIZOLEK now and then, and Todd was married in June . He is currently Working for Baxter Labs in New Jersey. In June DANNY TIGHE Was elected to junior partner at the Boston law firm, Hale & Dorr.

STEPHEN STEINBERG graduated with a master's of architecture degree from the Universi~y of Buffalo in 1992. He is currently working towards the three years of internship required to qualify for the architecture registration exam (A.R.E.). Instead of settling in with one firm, Stephen is working for multip le firms as an independent consultant (who happens to be an intern architect). He plans to take the A.R.E. in December, which he describes as "a formidab le goal, involving months of preparation ." However, when not hitting the books, Stephen has found Buffalo to be a very lively city with a great night life, and many young people in their 20s and 30s. He welcomes any visitors who may find their way into his neck of the woods . The alumni office sent me a

press release announcing that JEFF CONCEPCION, assistant vice president of CIGNA's northeast Ohio office, was awarded the prestigious Gold Sharp award. This award is given out annually on a national basis from CIGNA's corporate office in Connecticut.

Jeff has been with CIGNA since 1986, and is the youngest-ever recipient of the award. Congratulations, Jeff! Jeff currently resides in Solon, Ohio with his wife, Bridget. As for the VANDERVELDES, all is well. Murphy, Jr. recently turned three and Jack recently turned one. They are pretty wi ld and the fighting is constant. I am from a fami ly of all gi rls so I am not accustomed to the levels of testosterone in my house. Fighting fires, kung-fu fighting, construction work, "playing rough," squashing bugs, ant hunting, etc. are now part of my daily routine with two little boys. We are still in touch with many old Trinity friends. BIZ and PETER VOUDOURIS stayed with us several weekends recently, and brought along their one-year-old, P.J. He is so cute and very well behaved. I see ISABELLE PARSONS LORING and her little gi rl , Eliza, a lot. And we hear frequently from Ingrid Kotch Rowland, JOHN MONTGOMERY, Lisa and Bill Detwiler, and others, from time to t ime.

The time has come again to report on the comings and goings of the Class of 1988. There seem robe lots of life changes for us in our seventh year out of school - Seven Year Itch' As usual, Boston is a hotbed of activity. The most recent addition to the Trinity contingent is Charlotte Isabel Freytag, born July 1, 1995. Parents DON and BECKY JELSMA FREYTAG have actually already packed Charlotte and their belongings and moved back tO Louisville, where Becky is from. Don is still working for Brown Forman Corporation in beverage marketing. JEN BREWSTER threw a goingaway soiree on her roof deck and guests included JOANNE PALANDRO; MATT and GINNY SPAHR KEATOR and their daughter, Carson; ISABELLE PARSONS LORING '87; SUZANNE CURLEY '89; and NAN CAMPBELL BUSSEY '89 . As can be expected, Charlotte is a beautiful little girl who seems to look like Don. LOU O 'BRIEN is working at Noble & Greenough School, teaching history, doing admissions and counseling, and coaching field

hockey, squash and varsity girls' crew, AND running the girls' dorm. She certainly sounds busy. TRACY MCDEVITT was seen wandering around The Westin Hotel, Copley Place rec.e ntly (where I work). She is a lawyer working on the South Shore for an insurance company (I can't remember which-sorry!). Jen Brewster was married to Bret Jordan on Sept. 9, 1995 on Martha's Vineyard. I was sorry to miss the festivities but am sure the day was beautiful. Matt and Ginny Keator have moved into a new home in Wellesley. Matt continues to work for the St. Louis Blues Hockey Club and is organizing a youth hockey tournament this winter in Boston. The annual Trinity Club of Boston Red Sox outing was in August and organized by JOE CATALDO. I saw him, WENDY CARLSON CATALDO, TOM BRODERICK and KEVIN CHARLESTON. Kevin's wife could n't join us because she was nine months' pregnant. No word on the baby yet. It was disappointing not to see more of you! On the same day as J en Brewster's marriage was TARA LICHTENFELS' engagement party to celebrate her upcoming wedding to J effrey Gans. Guests at the celebration were LISA ALVAREZ-CALDERON, CORINNE COPPOLA KRILL and JULIE SHUTT. It was great to catch up with former residents of the Eight-Woman and North Campus. Lisa is happily working at CIGNA in Philadelphia; Corinne is in the Washington, D.C. area; and Julie remains in Bosron, working for Appleseed's, as a buyer. Tara and Jeff are planning tO be married on May 11, 1996 in West Hartford, Conn. AVERY CHAPMAN is practicing as a trial lawyer in both Connecticut and N ew Jersey. Also in Washingron, D.C., KIMBERLY COURSEN was married to Douglas Parker on June 4, 1994. Kim is currently a Ph.D. candidate at Georgerown University and assistant director of research at the Times Mirror Center for the People and the Press. LIAM O'SULLIVAN is also in the nation's capital. He is married ro SUSAN KLUIBER '89 and is completing his master's degree in architecture at the University of Maryland, where he will receive a certificate in historic preservation. Also in Washington are JAMES SIMKINS and his wife, Rhoda. They recently caught up with ALEXIS SPANOS JACKSON while she was visiting the city. She is teaching pre-school in Exeter,

Look around the city for our new cultural medallions and remember, Love Your Landmarks! LIAM O'SULLIVAN '88 (Washington, D.C.) was good enough to update his Class with the news that he completed his master's in arc hitecture at the University of Maryland and topped it off with a certificate in historic preservation.

Some of the folks at the wedding included: MARK ELLER, SETH GOODWIN, MIKE RORICK '88, Cl-IRIS BARGES '88, JAY BLUM '88, and RICH DIFORIO. If we gave out awards to individuals we think are using e-mail to procrastinate, then our grand prize winner would be none other than BOB MARKEE, who got us caught up on lots of classmates. Bob may already be done with his master's thesis. The note that Bob sent us is (slightly edited) below: "''ve been living back in Cleveland, Ohio since September. .. but as a result of moving and playing nursemaid, I am still in the process of fin ishing my master's thesis (or as I like to call it: THAT DAMN THESIS). I just got back from Washington, D.C. where I attended the Memorial Day law school graduation of SETH LIPTON from Catholic University. He's moving to New York where he will be taking the Bar exam in July. Among others, IAN MURPHY '90, JOHN WEBSTER '90 and BEE HUGHES WEBSTER attended the ceremony and party afterward. Ian is currently working for Harper Collins Publishing in New York and John and Bee just had their first baby (Megan Webster) this past February. MIKE VANDERBILT was unable to attend the graduation as he was on vacation in Costa Rica for the week. Mike is living in Alexandria, Va. and will be there at least until April 1996.

She talks daily with Sue Kluiber, who is living in College Park, Md. with her husband, Liam O'Sullivan '88. I e-mail talk with Sue almost daily, but I missed seeing her while I was in the area. "Over the weekend I also had dinner with SANDY BURKE who is continuing working in international relations (specializing in Russian studies) and is considering some job possibilities in Russia.

SEAN DOUGHERTY has been working in public relations (the irony in that is not completely lost on h im) and has recently moved to North Arlington, N.J. and is happy to be saving money and getting more space by getting the hell out of Manhattan. I saw JULIE OVEREYNDER at a New Year's party. She is still living with notyet-graduated '89er DAN CONSOLATORE and they both seem happy even though Dan ,stood me up for lunch while I was in town. I also ran into LISA ABSHIRE, who, I believe, is still living in Milan. "Boston: DOUG MACDONALD is still working on his Ph .D. in pharmacology at Boston University. He recently mentioned that he had decided on his dissertation but when I asked if he could describe it briefly in layman 's terms, he said, "No, not without a couple of hours." He spends a lot of time with DAVE RAVERA (who is an AVP at Putnam Financial) and ROGER WELLINGTON. All three were recently at Trinity fqr the graduation of NICOLLE ANDERSON '95 (IDP) along with Mike Vanderbilt. "H ave I managed to avoid my thesis enough? Hmmm ... one or two more: JULIE LOWRY is living in Plainville, Conn. and working at the Hartford Insurance Company. She says she regularly sees CHRIS DICKINSON, since he is working downstairs from her as a consultant for Arthur Andersen. She also spends a lot of time with JULIE BEMAN. This past February I was visiting ALLISON BROWN in Seattle, Wash. for a week and she mentioned that KATE ROY SULLIVAN and her husband, John, have also just had their first baby this past spring. She also mentioned that NANCY FRIELINGSDORF is currently livi ng in Chicago, Ill. "Wow, this is fun. I've spent a good hour typing (and adding to a future state of carpal tunnel syndrome) and I've go tten absolutely NOTHING done on my thesis. It's days like this that keep me going. If that sounds bad, I hope you realize that time spent on the computer is NOT wasted time since it hones my typing skills to a razor sharp perfection (and besides, I love procrastinating) bur if I actually

leave my desk, I feel guilty, so send ing lots of e-mail is a good compromise.)" -Bob Markee Hope that thesis is finished in time for New Year's Eve 1999! Thanks for the updates, everyone.

I spoke recently to KAREN ISGUR, who is still enjoying her work in the alumni office, and is also taking classes at night. Karen has recently moved to Verno n, and seems very happy. She told me that she recently attended an event in honor of BORDEN PAINTER '58 in Chicago, which was p lan ned by the Class of '92 's LIZ MCDONALD. Karen, together with Paul Cinti, Kat hy Kimball, ANN REUTTER and former Trinity exchange student, Suzanne Braniecki, made up most of BETSY STALLING's wedding party this past July. Your Class Secretary (that's me) unfortunately missed this gala event because it was the weekend before the Bar exam, and by the sounds of it, I really missed a good time. Betsy, who has just begun her third year of law school, was married to Corey Welp in Houston, and I l:Jope she sends in a picture to the Reporter soon! And on that note, I hope that you all drop a line soon and let me know what's new! Note from the alumni office : Karen Isgur was promoted in November to associate director of alumn i relations , working with area clubs and reunion committees. She assumes th e additional responsibility for all special events of the alumni and development offices. Congratulations to her! Also, GARY MCMORRIS and KIFFI MALOSH were among nine panelists addressing 58 black undergraduates at Tri nity in November at the Black Alumni/ae Graduate and Professional School Workshop. Gary, in his fi nal year at Howard University School of Medicine, was a double major in mathematics and chemistry, graduating with honors in chemistry. Kiffi, a recent graduate of the Wayne State University School of Law, majored in economics

"Hello .. .is Larry there? No? What's that I He moved out of the city! Quit his jobl Languishing in prison! But I just talked to him ... last month ." Did this ever happen to you during the long, sticky summer! Normally close friends disappear, or suddenly become impossible to keep in touch with as summer fun took you hither and thither (my parents have a summer place in Thither, and let me tell you, it's not what it used to be). It seems that when the sun comes out and the weather warms up, people flee outdoors and disappear, scattering far and wide in search of fun, and leaving the oppressive city heat and traffic behind, for the weekend or for weeks at a time. Friends who lived next door to me become nothing more than memories for the entire season. Already, as fall sets in, one can sense the social world springs back to life. I have to admit that I have been out of touch a bit myself, but for what it's worth, here is your abbreviated early winter edition of class notes, covering the summer of 1995 (you figure it out), in a nifty, E-Z reference alphabetical format. A is for ASHLYN HILEY, who is managing to survive on her own, after the departure of her "friend" to medical school in New York. Hey, Ashlyn, you're from New York anyway, so it's more convenient, right? B is for barbecues, a prominent part of any well-run summer. One 'cue I attended in Boston's South End at the roc kin' pad of MINNA KIM and SUSIE DYSON included a guest list which would have done a Saturday night in the Washington Room in polyester duds proud: MATT MCCABE, PATRICK MCDONALD, GREG CREAMER, JON NUSBAUM, DAVID RIKER, RACHEL TOTMAN, and a variety of characters from other classes kept the fun going long into the collegiate-feeling evening. C is for career change, as PRASANT SAR eyes a bid for law school or perhaps some sort of academic graduate school, his friends having talked him out of the whole professional wrestling thing. D is for Dante, DAN SCANLAN's new American Eskimo puppy, which is small, white, and

having an interesting time learning the subtle art of proper potty etiquette. E is for the environment, something which we know ANNMARIE FINI cares about . . . She is now working for a chemical company. F is for FERNANDO CACELA, who was spotted at a Johnny Walker Scotch tasting party in New York, admiring the subtle yet complex flavors of free whiskey. Gosh .. .I'd never go to a party like that. Unless they had cigars, as well. G is for Gladiator, as in American, the alter ego of otherwise mild-mannered political science graduate student, WILL MACON, at Washington, D.C.'s American University. H is for hectic, the pace at which NICOLE D'AVIRRO's Ph.D . program in genetics at Tufts pniversity will be moving for the next few years. I is for insane, which would have been a good word to describe JAY AKASIE's idea of finding an apartment in New York over Labor Day weekend. Luckily, he got a place in the dorms to begin his stint at Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, after a summer of intensive training for the rigors of newspaper life at the Nantucket Inquirer and M irror. J is for Jonathan. Just wanted to point that out. (Some things never change ... ) K is for Kape Kod, where I spotted SUSAN OLSEN (everything on track at CitiBank!) at a hip, tented bash on a cool summer night at the waterfront digs of Trinity party regular (but not student), Eileen Ward. Remember having a great time , but that's about it. Perhaps that is for the best. .. L is for Larry, just because. L is also for the library, a place in which Kate Schafer finds herself spending a lot of time, considering she is working toward a master's in library science at the University of Alabama. Susan Olsen recently visited Kate and beau, Kevin "Wevie" Crunch , at Duck, N.C. for a week, and had a restful reunion with her former cellmate and future Miss Twentysomething Alabamian Librarian. M is for marriage, which is what rumor has it has befallen STEVE F. CLUNE . N is for NOONAN, TIM, who writes that he is leaving Union College after two years as residence life coordinator to begin a master's degree at Harvard's Graduate School of Education. 0 is for Oh Captain, my Cap'tain, as our own LEANA SCHUSHEIM has become engaged

to a captain in the U.S. Air Force. Pis for PAM O'KANE FOSTER, who reported that she and CHRIS FOSTER '92 were married April 16 in Massachusetts, and are now living in New Jersey, from which Pam commutes to work at the Rockefeller Foundation. She writes that NICOLE MAUTER is working for Harper Collins Publishers, and got married in August to Jorge Eckhardt. Also , HEDY KLEIN received her master's in public policy from the University of Connecticut. Q is for quadriceps, allegedly some kind of muscle in your body, which undoubtedly could be thoroughly identified and repaired by RACHEL SCHREIER, who has graduated from Hahnemann University with a master's of physical therapy degree, and soon, by ANGELA DENICOLA, who will receive her degree in 1996. R is for reception, which is the event which followed directly the marriage of KIMBERLY FULLER to Paul Sweet at St. Augustine's Church in Hartford. KRISTIN VANTY was asked to be the maid of honor, but was not in vi ted along for the honeymoon to St. Maarten. Kimberly is now an active substitute teacher, pondering a stab at her teaching certificate. S is for Sazarac Grove, the young alumni-operated bar and grill in Cambridge, which hosted a young alumni reception some months ago, at which denizens of the Gallows Hill nation hobnobbed, while the masses stared in awed wonder. BLAIR KELLER lamented the repeal of rent control in the PRC (C not being for China, in this case). HARRY COHEN, CLIVE BARD and a host of other local personalities dotted the festive midsummer occasion. T is for tan, which is a convenient byproduct of CANDY CALON's tenure at medical school in Dominica. U is for uvula, or even U of Connecticut, at which MATT PETERSON has started law school. V is for vehicular homicide someone bet me that I couldn't work that into the class notes. W is for William, the name which falls between THOMAS and REUTER on the aforementioned's birth certificate. Thomas has settled down as a trader for Yamaichi Bank in Geneva, Switzerland, after a suitable post-collegiate stint as a tennis instructor and job-searching in Budapest. X marks the spot. X stands for danger. Two straight lines crossing over in the middle, saying, "Here's the railroad crossing." X has little

NOTES

to do with ALLEN KATZ, who writes that he is, "currently studying the properties of liquid fat while managing the famous Triplets Roumanian Steakhouse in SOHO." Y is for your own cartilage, which is what DAVID RIKER's new employer, Genzyme Tissue Repair, uses to strengthen your knee. David's jobl He gets to convince insurance companies that they ought to pay for the operation, and once in a while gets to hold an actual severed (and bloody!) knee. Z is for Zzzzzzzz, the sound you are most likely making as you snore through this gimmicky little set of class notes. Please don't let this grasping column deter you, but rather let it inspire you; keep in touch with your school and your friends. Call! E-mail! Write (no unabombs, please!)! It is easy to stay in touch, but unfortunately, easier still to let people fade away. The alumni office has learned that: KIMBERLY LOUNDER is a seventh-grade Spanish teacher in the Wallingford, Conn. school system and reports that she "loves it. " JENNIFER SAUNDERS has been appointed the public affairs graduate intern at the Dartmouth News Service. DICK STOCKTON '60 tells us

that JUSTIN MCCARTHY has written three or four pieces that were published in the USAir inflight magazine.

Hello, everyone! I hope that this edition of the R eporter finds everyone happy and healthy. It is early fall as I am writing this, so remember the time gap if some of the news sounds outdated, but that's the way it goes.

Greetings, Class of 1995! I hope you are all doing well. I was so glad to get a chance to visit with many of you this summer. Now let's get down to business!

I am now at the Rollins School of Public Health of Emory University in Atlanta, Ga. I am pursuing my master of public health degree in epidemiology. It is a two-year program. Although it was a bi t strange to know that as I was starting classes, my brother (JOE '97) was back at Trinity, returning to academic life was not so hard . I have learned so much already and I love the master's program. To my surprise, the people in the program are just great . I go to the U .S. Centers for
