LETTERS Mixed R eactions To the Editor: In your sum mer issue, I particularly appreciated Mal Salter's coverage of the Royal Henley Regatta (though not downgrading the lemon squeezer saga and other news). Though clearly biased, in deference to biased a lumni hearts, the report poi nts out the significance of Trinity's participation and the magnitude of the crews' achievements there. When the Salter Report booklet is available, I would appreciate information on obtaining a copy. EDWARD J . MOSHER '64 To the Editor: I happened to note your two-paragraph summation of Ward Just's three-part series in the Washington Post about Trinity. This mention of Mr. Just's series follows mention of I.) the New York Daily News' lip-smacki ng treatment of an exchange progra m with Vassar; 2.) a Ladies H om e Journal piece about coeds living with males in dormitories, and 3.) a wholly routine photograph of Mr. Nixon presenting an award to a blind Trinity graduate. What kind of nonsense is this? I don 't agree with everything Mr. Just said in those articles. Hell , I don't agree with everything anybody says. But these were serious articles. They raised serious, substantial questions. The rest of the magazine bears out Mr. Just's contentionthat Trinity is in very serious trouble. So you say that Post reade r were "exposed to comments" about Trinity. Exposed to what? Wh at did he say? To hell with that. It couldn't have been of consequence because, you continue, he only spent 2V2 days on campus. When was the last time a professional journalist from a major publication spent 2!12 days on campus? For writing a thesis, 2\l:z days of research may not be much. For writing an article for the Washington Post- or for the Trinity A /umni Magazine - it may be quite sufficient. You obviously have a singular journalistic standard: Only the good news is fit to print. Perhaps that's simplistic. Better, perhaps: We'll print our own bad news. JAMES M. P ERRY '50 To the Editor: Just a note to compliment you on a splendid issue of the Alumni magazine. Beginning with the striking cover and moving through the contents, it is one of the best Trinity has ever had. I cannot help but note that it is somewhat belated to label an issue received on October 16th as the summer issue. Don't you think the timeliness would have been enhanced by labeling it the Fall issue? DONALD R. R EY OLDS '51 Improving Reunions To the Editor: Now is really the first opportunity that I have bad to write about Reunion Weekend. The student workers did talk about the weekend, so what I tell you represents either my own. opinion (and tastes, too!) or my synthesis of what others observed. First perhaps I shall present a college senior's views. Today more than ever "life is real, life is earnest." One valid criticism my parents
make of our generation is that we are too serious and too hum o rless. And I think that they are right. But simply, that is the way we a re, and it is, I think, understandable. My generation feels, moreover, very few ties to their colleges. We do not sing "Neath the Elms" or "Lord Jeffrey Amherst." We criticize, rather than enthuse about our schools. It is, in short, difficult for us to identify especially with what might formerly have been "the good ole college days." Our college days are marked by sit-ins, confrontations, crisis, and take-over. For us then, as alumni , and this is my main point, a back-slapping. remember-the-old-times weekend is old fashioned . Personally, I would look for more intellectuality in the Reunion Weekend. Both myself, and I think my friends, are bred too sophisticatedly for a marching parade to the Field House. Our strong ties at Trinity have been with our friends most of all, to be sure, but also with the Hartford Stage Company and the Hartford Symphony, for example. I would be especially eager to come back for a reunion with my wife if I thought I could join up with some old friends, or other couples, and go to the theatre for an evening. Perhaps a party and dinner with my class beforehand. What I most would not want to come back for is a lot of drinking, coupled with people and activities I do not care for. So, the problem is, as I see it, two-fold. Firstly, how can the interests of the older alumni be reconciled with the interests of the younger alumni? Both groups have had a different college experience. Secondly, how can the weekend ( regardless of the divergent interests) be made more appealing for all? They are really the same problem . And there is. I think, a single answer. Before I give you that, however, let me include some of the remarks made by some of my fellow workers. Many of them felt that there was really too much drinking. They felt that that was mainly due to the fact that either there was nothing much else to do or that the "fun" was contrived. The party in the Washington Room , for example, was really only a second-rate show with greasy potato chips and punch that was too sweet. Several of my friends summarized the point by observing th at people seemed driven to drink. Maybe or maybe not that is true. There ought, I think , to be a much wider and more constant spectrum of events. The activities of this past reunion were, I think, in a way all of the same kind . There was what I call a "rotarian" similarity about them. That is not good or bad , but certainly in a given class there are many different kinds of people. Probably the Seabury parties and the parade ought to remain if enough people like them . But there must be enough different activities to appeal to others. Not only would a greater variety of activities attract more people from each class, but many more recent alumni, too. It should be possible to maintain the " rotarian" appeal as well as to create a greater aura of sophistication. Although I do realize some of the inherent, perhaps unsolvable, problems of a weekend in the fall during the football season, I think such a reunion weekend would be excellent indeed. The game on Saturday would offer a good focus for
the weekend and is an event of wide appeal. Perhaps many more alumni would come back for the day to see the game, whereas now they do not return at all. I hope that my remark have been helpful and that they will serve to promote more di scussion about changes in the Reunion. I do, after all, have something at stake here myself. Before long, I, too, shall be an alumnus. Scorr M. DoNAHU E '70 During the /96 9 R eunion, Mr. Dona/we was in charge of th e student workers who assisted in va rious capacities.

CURRICULUM INNOVATION
An Evaluation of Freshman Seminars By J. RONALD SPENCER '64 Instructor in History Seminars are the aristocrats of the college curriculum. Small, intimate, devoted to an intensive examination of the subject matter, productive of a close intellectual rapport among students and between student and teacher- these are the characteristics which cause a majority of students and faculty alike to regard the seminar as the most invigorating framework in which learning and teaching can occur. Yet in keeping with the often invidious distinction made between upper- and lower-classmen, seminars have traditionally been reserved for juniors and seniors. With the opening of Christmas Term, 1969, however, Trinity decisively broke the traditional pattern as it enrolled some 358 of 375 incoming freshmen in special seminars tailored to match their academic needs and interests. A part of the new curriculum which the faculty adopted last spring, the freshman seminar seeks to perform a number of vitally important tasks. In fact, some of the program's warmest supporters think it may hold the key to the overall success or failure of the new curriculum . Even if that view proves to be exaggerated, it is clear that the freshman seminar is one of the three or four provisions in the new curriculum with the largest potential for improving the quality of undergraduate education at the College. The joint student-faculty Curriculum Revision Committee suggested what is perhaps the freshman seminar's most vital task when it stated in a report last November: One of the great problems faced by any college is that of convincing incoming freshmen , by our course offerings and methods of teaching, that hard work is worth the trouble . .. . Most of the students we get are bright and a good percentage are very bright. But they can turn dull very fast . . . . We will always lose some people, for reasons unrelated to curricular design, but we do have an obligation to save as many as we can, at least in respect to their intellectual promise. To accomplish this, we have to start early, and with fundam entals. As an entering freshman , a student must be made to see what it is to think. Most students think they know how to think , but few of them do know. Thinking is hard work and most people avoid it with great ingenuity. Two things seem to be necessary to bring this miracle to pass! the student must be engaged in material he thinks is of im]. Ronald Spencer '64 joined th e Trinity fa culty in September 1968 as an instructor in history following two years as an instructor at Brooklyn College of th e City Uni versity of N ew Y ork .

parlance and interest to him, and he must be made to express himself in writing or in some other medium more appropriate to the given content. In this way, we can insist that a student express his thoughts with clarity, coherence, and precision. There's the crux of the matter: to get students to think "with clarity, coherence and precision;" to wean them from the vacuous mental gestures which too often pass for thought in the secondary schools and which, sad to say, many of them carry to the platform the day they receive their B.A.'s. Of course the problem is as old as pedagogy itself, and the Curriculum Revision Committee was wise to acknowledge that it will never be entirely solved. But there is reason to hope that the freshman seminar will make a sizable dent in the problem. At a minimum, the seminars insure that one-fourth of the freshman 's in-class time will be spent in a class small enough that the professor will be able to keep a close eye on his academic development and to make a detailed evaluation of his intellectual strengths and weaknesses. And with enough intellectual poking and prodding from a shrewd instructor, it is probable that the student will emerge with a better disciplined mind than has been the case in the large lecture courses to which freshmen are normally consigned. Closely related to this mind-sharpening function of the freshman seminar is the question of how to pique the incoming student's curiosity about academic subjects. Or, to put it in currently fashionable educational jargon, this is the problem of "relevance" - a problem over which we academics spill more ink and lose more sleep than any other. The Curriculum Revision Committee's solution is to permit the freshmen in each seminar to select the subject matter for themselves. Presumably they know best what interests them and will work hardest on topics of their own choosing. The student is freed , therefore, from the rigid paternalism of much secondary and undergraduate education, whereby it is predetermined what the student will learn and how he will learn it. . And simultaneously the student is deprived of the old "this-subjectjust-doesn't-interest-me" excuse for sluggish work. Accordingly, the freshman seminars are labeled "selfstructuring," and the College informs each incoming student that he and his fellow seminar members will enjoy virtually carte blanche in selecting topics for study. In practice, most seminar instructors have observed this self-denying ordinance, and hence you may find a physicist conducting a seminar in demography, or a professor of modern languages leading a seminar in American ethnic history, or an African historian presiding over a discussion of educational theory. A minority of seminar
leaders have preferred, however, to select the topic themselves (but far enough in advance so that any freshman who objects can opt for a different seminar), or at least to prescribe a broad subject area within which the students must find their topic. The seminar instructor who offers his students carte blanche of course runs the risk of finding himself saddled with a topic in which he has little interest and/or competence. Initial experience with the program suggests, however, that this risk is more theoretical than actual, for instructors are scarcely devoid of influence when the final decision on topics is made. (Associate Professor of Philosophy Richard T. Lee's experience in a pilot freshman seminar last year has already become something of a legend among those of us giving seminars this year. After due deliberation on their own, his students decided they were most interested in the cinema, and they proposed that the seminar make a film or two . Yet by subtle arts of persuasion- Dr. Lee hasn't divulged all of the details, but presumably they would do honor to a Talleyrand- he convinced the students that what they really wanted to study was the philosophy of education, a subject, as it happened , in which Dr. Lee is professionally interested. Nor should such feats of pedagogic manipulation be condemned out of hand, for by nearly all accounts Dr. Lee's stud ents found educational philosophy to be at least as stimulating a topic as the film.) A third vital task assigned to the freshman semi nar involves academic advising, with each instructor acting as the adviser for all members of his seminar until they come under the wing of the department in which they will major. In the past, advising freshmen on curricular matters tended to be somewhat perfunctory. This stemmed less from faculty indifference than from the nature of the beast. With basic degree requirements fixed for all students there was relatively little room for curricular maneuver during the freshman and even sophomore years, and thus there wasn't much advice that one could give about course selection. More often than not, the adviser found himself limited to such essentially mechanical tasks as signing registration forms , pointing out (somewhat testily!) that the student had scheduled two courses which met at the same hour, informing the advisee whether he could defer his natural science requirement until next year, etc. But the advising picture changed drastically when as a part of the new curriculum, the faculty abolished all basic degree requirements. (Not even the freshman seminar is absolutely required , although the College Bulletin states that freshmen are "expected" to take a seminar.) Henceforth , the primary responsibility for constructing a balanced academic program rests with the student. This scheme makes sense since it accommodates the differing needs and interests of individual students far better than the most thoughtful set of degree requirements ever could . But it also places a premium on good advising. If the student is to enjoy virtually total curricular freedom, the faculty is obligated to provide the type of informed advice that will help the student use his freedom wisely. The success of a non-coercive advising system hinges on two inter-related factors. On the one hand, the adviser must develop an intimate knowledge of the student's
strengths and weaknesses, his needs and goals; on the other, the advisee must get to know his adviser well enough to develop some confidence in his ability and judgment. The Curriculum R evision Committee concluded that the freshman seminar provided the best framework in which such mutual knowledge and trust could grow, since adviser and advisee would be seeing one another regularly and under circumstances which are far more revealing than if they met only sporadically outside of the classroom. Getting students to think intelligently, arousing their curiosity and enthusiasm for academic subjects, providing them with sound curricular advice- this is the rather tall order which the freshman seminar has taken on. A multitude of special programs at this and other colleges have set the same lofty goals, only to prove disappointing when put into practice. What chance is there that the freshman seminar will succeed? As I write, the term is still too new to permit a definite answer. But there are 路some grounds for cautious optimism. The most encouraging indicator at this point is the outcome of the eight pilot sem inars which the College offered last year to a handpicked group of 50 freshmen . Some problems did develop, to be sure. Several instructors encountered difficulty, for example, in sustaining over the long haul, student enthusiasm for the seminar topic, even though the students themselves had chosen it. Should that problem persist on a large scale this year. the faculty may we11 have to re-think one of the basic premises of the program. In general, however, instructors who gave the pilot seminars agreed that their achievements outweighed their failures . Periodic written reports submitted by the professors involved were studded with such comments as these: "to date curiosity and interest in the seminar have been generally high ;" "although the topic [the relevance of modern religion] is not one I would have chosen, it is evident the students are using this seminar to help them make some important decisions in their lives;" "the students dominate the discussion, which is usually frank and lively ;" "a strong spirit of mutual help and criticism ... exists in the group;" and "the sem in ar has surpr ised me-T have actually learned something from it." Casual conversations with several of this year's seminar instructors tend to confirm these impressions, although most of those involved (freshmen as weiJ as faculty) are maintaining a wait-and-see attitude. Such caution is probably well advised. Certainly a number of problems have cropped up during the first six weeks of the term, and they may necessitate some operational adjustments before next September. A number of instructors complain, for instance, that there's not enough time during freshman week to develop the close rapport with students which good advising requires. And in some cases, the courses which the advisee, in conjunction with his adviser, selects turn out to be already closed by heavy upper-class enrollments. In addition, a number of significant questions remain unresolved. How can the putative benefits of the freshman seminar be conferred on the handful of students who decide not to enroll in the program? Or, if the seminars succeed, should they be required of all incom-
3
ing students? What happens to the occasional student who finds himself stuck in a seminar whose topic doesn't interest him? Should all of the seminars be completely open-ended when it comes to selection of topics, should all of them list a predetermined subject area or should we keep the present mixed system? If the faculty trusts freshmen to decide for themselves what subject matter they will study, should it take the next step of giving them a sizable voice in how they are graded in the seminar? (I'm trying this latter approach in my own seminar, but it is too early to know how well it will work.) Fortunately, none of these questions and problems appears to be unsolvable. The careful and continuing scrutiny to which the faculty will subject the program should pinpoint any serious flaws and suggest remedies. Meanwhile, it has already become evident that the seminar program can provide significant help to the Admissions Office in its search for future freshman classes. In fact, one of the originators of the freshman seminar idea was Associate Director of Admissions Thomas B. McKune '64, who first proposed it over three years ago in a memorandum to the Dean of the College.
At the time he thought that a special seminar program might help to attract to Trinity more of the first-rate applicants who are accepted here but decide to go elsewhere. Now that such a program is in effect, Mr. McKune is convinced it will be one of the biggest "selling points" the College has as it competes with other institutions for th e favor of highly qualified applicants. One suspects that Mr. McKune is probably right. The more innovative secondary schools are already offering their students increased seminar work, and such students are understandably loath to return to the lecture-course pattern when they enroll at college. By the same token, many students who attend secondary schools with a more traditional curriculum expect college to offer something decisively new, and it can be terribly disillusioning for them to find a freshman program that consists of only more of the same old thing. On these quite practical grounds, then, the freshman seminar would seem to justify itself. If, in addition, the seminar can successfully perform its three vital academic tasks, Trinity might for once find its curriculum being imitated by other institutions rather than imitating them.
BOOK REVIEW Vicksburg; 47 Days of Seige By A. A. Hoehling '36 Army Times Publishing Co. 1969 386 pages ; $9 .95
R eviewed by N. TEDESCO, M.A. '69
WILLIAM
lt ended on the high bluffs overlooking the twisting bends of the Mississippi , at a place called Vicksburg. It had begun a year before when a genera l named Grant captured two small outposts called Fort Henry and Donelson. The "Vicksburg cam paign," however, began in earnest when Grant assumed com ma nd of the Department of the Tennessee a nd as the President's steadfast confidence grew in this "stubborn fighter." so too did Grant's reputation as an independent commander. The army's objectives were defined as the ope ning of the Mississip pi to Union transportation and the con equent splitting of the Confederacy. H a lleck , Gra nt's immediate commander in the Western theater, unwittingly gave this 'fighter' the green
4
light when he advised him to, "fight the enemy when you please." Vicksburg was the capstone in the Union's strategic penetrat ion of the Confederacy; the campaign brought fame to Gra nt a nd helped restore a lustre to a faded army career. But this is not the story of generals and soldiers; Mr. Hoehling record s a grim documenta ry of fort y-seve n days of seige warfare which came very close to being a state of total war inasmuch as it involved the entire Vicksburg citizenry a well as the military forces of both sides. Obviously and meticulously drawn from primary sources almost exclusively, this is the story of the eige as largely seen through the eyes of the people who shuddered and ra n before the terrible firestorm of Union artillery which ringed the city like a n ever tightening noose. Organized as a daily chronicle of events, drawing heavily upon contemporary letters, diaries, and notes, the author provides a thread of unity with his brief connective passages. It's a story of the inhabitants' continual terror th at had no ending, th at lasted both day and night, of a city verging on starvation, of a people reduced to living on the rats which seem to follow in the wake of
catastrophe, of a daily routine that moved from the debris of wrecked homes into a shadow world of caves in a hope of protection from the Union shells. The guns that pounded Vicksburg were hardl y selective as the violence touched all ages and social levels - man, beast, women, and children were the indiscriminate victims. It's not a pleasa nt story, but then not much of war ever is. The nightm are at Vicksburg ended abruptly, as it began, although not because its people had give n up - hope perhaps, but not their spirit. It's a recurring theme in history as in lite rature ; that so mehow man can and does manage to find an inner st rength to enable him to endure unbelievable hardships a nd terror. This is an uncommonly fascinating sto ry, perhaps not in the factual context, but vis a vis, the people of Vicksburg who had to endure the seige with rem a rk ably little complaint. The fall of Vicksburg set the stage for the emergence of Grant as the Unions' most determined commander; Lincoln then could say. "the father of waters flows unvexed to the ea." Coupled with the events at Gettysburg at the same time, the Confederate tide had begun its ebb.
11-MONTH ORDEAL
One Pueblo Crewman Tells His Story
F. Carl Schumacher Jr. '65
On January 23, 1968, the U.S.S. Pueblo was attacked and boarded by North Korean forces off the port of W onsan. One sailor was killed; several others were wounded. The 82 surviving crewmen were taken to W onsan and from. there by bus and train to a dismal, four-story, rectangular building on the outskirts of Pyongyang, the North Korean capital. They called this improvised prison the "Barn." Throughout their harrowing, 11-month stay in communist captivity, the men of the Pueblo were subjected to severe mental and physical torture. Most of them. behaved admirably. The names of Cm.dr. Lloyd M. ("Pete") Bucher, the ship's captain, and Lt. Stephen R . Harris, the intelligence officer, are already familiar to most Americans. But 路the names and exploits of those who shared their captivity - men whose actions and attitudes befuddled the North Koreans, maintained morale and guided their colleagues through a grim period- are hardly known at all. By common consent of their fellow crewmen, some of these men stood out above others during captivity. They included Lt. (j.g.) Carl "Skip" Schumacher of St. Louis, the ship's operations officer, who had studied religion at Trinity College, Connecticut, and was planning to become a minister; Quartermaster First Class Charles Law, a 10-year veteran who considered himself the best navigator in the fleet; Communications Technician Third Class Earl Kisler, a sports car and surfing fanatic; Marine Sgt. Robert J. Chicca, one of two men on. the ship who spoke Korean; and Radioman Second Class Lee Roy Hayes, a quiet youth from. Ohio who had been. deeply involved in conservative politics back home. Recently these five lesser-known. heroes talked into a tape recorder about their 11 months' imprisonmentand how it affected them.. Here is what they remember:
Thus began the report by author Trevor Armbrister entitled "Five Pueblo Crewmen Tell Their Own Story" that appeared in the October 1969 issue of True Magazine.

U.S.S. Pueblo
The first thing I saw in the Barn was that the window in my room had been nailed shut and the guards had stretched a curtain between the double panes. The woodslat floors were dirty and warped . There were no pictures on the walls, which seemed to be quite thick. My radiator was broken and the room was freezing cold - ice formed in a cup of water on the table. There was a 15-watt light bulb hanging from the ceiling. The guards kept it on day and night and it drove me crazy. I could hear what sounded like other people getting beaten up. The door was closed, but there were cracks in it. The guards would peek through them and, every half hour or so, fling open the door and stomp through. They punched me and kicked me until all the atrocity stories I had ever heard came back in vivid detail. They interrogated me solidly for about a week , wanting me to sign a "confession" of my "crimes." Each time they seemed to know more about me and the ship's mission. They told me that the captain had already confessed and I knew that sooner or later they would bust me, too. I kept asking myself, "What's the difference in being broken on the first day or the 200th?" Finally I said, "Okay, I'll sign." I convinced myself the document was worthless, meaningless and wouldn't be believed by the U.S. at all. Besides, it wasn't a question of giving them classified information. It was a matter of admitting to information they already had. But I knew the North Koreans wouldn't be satisfied with this confession alone. They'd be after me again and again, torture me more and more. It really came down to a question of suicide. Cashing in the chips6

that was the only way out. I put my head in a bucket of water, but I couldn't keep it there. I wondered if I had had a pistol whether or not I'd use it.
* * * The first time I saw the captain or even knew the other officers were alive was on February 13 when "Super-C," the colonel in charge of the camp, called us together for a press conference. That was the conference where we first used the "Hawaiian good luck sign." They began to photograph us and I extended my middle finger in the universal sign of derision, and some of the others did the same. Throughout the detention period, whenever they'd grind a camera on us, we'd make various gestures. After February 13, I had almost daily contact with the captain. One time, all the officers were sitting together and the captain passed his ring with a note to [Chief Warrant Officer] Gene Lacy. Then he passed another note down to me. He said he considered himself personally responsible for the death of Duane Hodges. The note didn't mention suicide; it was just one of those "I don't think I'm ever going to get out of here" things. He wanted me to see Rose, his wife, and to tell his two sons never to underestimate the value of a good education. I figured he was thinking of cashing in the chips, so I wrote him back and said, "Don't do it. I tried it and it didn't work." At the time, I thought things looked pretty good for us. They'd staged the press conference and they'd had us write a "final" letter of apology to the North Korean government and I figured they needed this document to
clear it with their own people if they were going to let us go. The fact that Super-C wasn't in charge of the letter indicated to me that he had something more important to do. He was probably down at Panmunjom. Then Super-C reappeared and rewrote the letter. We signed it and nothing happened . There were a lot of false starts like that.
* * * Super-C had talked to the captain and the executive officer, Lieutenant [Edward] Murphy, and then he talked to me. He said he sympathized with my position. He said I was very young and he hated to see me get off to such a wrong start in life. I said, "Yeah." I figured he was trying to make an end run on me- some kind of brainwashing appeal. On March 4 a duty officer came into my room and said, "Roll up your mattress." All our belongings had to be wrapped in sheets for "airing" outside. I knew something was up. That night, they blindfolded us and drove us in buses to this second camp a few miles away. The barracks was grayish-white and it was newer and larger than the Barn. There weren't any fences around the compound. There weren't any bars or curtains on the windows and I could see mountains in the distance. * * * As soon as we arrived at the second place, an officer we called The Habitability Colonel said, "You must have a plant to keep your room beautiful." I managed to kill three of these plants by tying knots in their vines. So one day they brought back a different plant. It was two or three feet tall with long, rubbery leaves and it was full of bugs and flies. I worked on it and in three or four days it started to wither. They said, " Put water on it; put water on it," so I really drowned it. Then I went after the bugs and flies with a towel and managed to knock off the leaves. I really chopped it apart. The first of the purges began a few weeks later. The guards said we were insincere, disobeying the Rules of Life. They came around to the rooms with notes in their hands indicating who was to be beaten, for how long and what physical appearance the man was to have when it was over.
* * * The captain was having trouble with his leg; he'd lost feeling in it. The Korean doctor put him on a schedule of shots and said he'd get the last one on June 15. That was a bad sign. Things just looked worse and worse and there were no optimistic signs at all. We bad to keep our minds occupied or else we'd really be in bad shape. I wrote a 13-line sonnet and called it "The Captain's Lament. " It began, "Instead of victory, sorrow is our lot; Trapped by the pirates of the running snot." I built an imaginary $56,000 home and was just about to move in when the captain reminded me of the high property taxes. Almost every night, the captain and I played chess or bridge. We started a language class; some of the guys knew Japanese, Russian , German and Spanish. We passed math problems back and forth and made up crossword puzzles.
The idea for the escape committee first came up over a meal in the wardroom one night. The captain put me in charge, with Lieut. j.g. Tim Harris and Gene Lacy as my assistants. We figured the odds against successful escape were about 1,000 to one. Still, we didn't want to be planning to spring one or two men and then find out that someone else was just about to sneak out the other end of the building. There had to be coordination. At the same time, we figured there was a real danger if too many people knew about the committee. So we decided not to tell everyone what we were doing.
* * * Within the rooms there were some disciplinary problems. The thing we worried most about was somebody losing his cool completely, but these were mostly just personality clashes. Charles Ayling drove the guys in his room batty talking about streetcars, subways and urban transit. One of them took a swing at him. Chicca, Hammond and Crandell were always going at it on religion. They threw water buckets at each other and they'd come to me with the most picayune theological questions. One afternoon, Super-C called me into his office. On his desk was the 13-line poem I'd written several months before. He said, "We know your true feelings . If I release this paper to the guards, they will kill you." He figured I was encouraging the crew to put messages in letters home and he was after me to say who had done what. I said I didn't know what he was talking about.
* * * I was beginning to have my doubts about escape. It wasn't like being in a war where you knew you'd be there until it ended. The more we learned about North Korea, the more our chances of making it seemed hopeless. Those who felt the U.S. could do something to get us out were in favor of waiting. I didn't know what I should do. In May and June I'd say, "Screw it, I'm going." In August I said nope. The Koreans staged another press conference and this just reinforced my feeling about how this thing was going to turn out. I thought, "They've got their films , they've got their letters. What else do they need?" I advised Chicca to cool it for a while, and the captain backed me up.

They felt that every finger gesture, every statement had been ordered by the captain. They even suspected chess games and crossword puzzles. I wrote a confession - 70 pages that didn't say anything. I was feeding them my senior year college thesis on interpersonal relationships- the duplicity of my own nature. It must have taken them a' week to translate it. None of us wanted to do what we sometimes bad to do over there. It became a question of what we could do in the form of resistance. The captain was the first one to hit on all the subtleties and doubletalk. A lesser man might have spent th e time wondering what was going to happen to him, but the captain had enough sense to know that the most important thing was to keep the crew alive and in good spirits so if the day ever came, he'd be able to walk out of there with 81 other men. 7
PROFILE
Bob Harnish: Innkeeper Extraordinaire He went up to Killington to rent a place for weekend-skiing and instead , the following week, bought what is today the most outstanding ski lodge and the only one rated "Excellent" in the Vermont area by the AAA. That's the Sheridan Whiteside story of Bob Harnish '59, who with his wife, the former Breda O'Keefe, developed the lodge into a highly popular and prosperous resort business before he turned 30. Actually, Bob admits, it didn't even take him a week to decide to buy Summit Lodge. What took a week was the financing.
That was in 1964, when Bob had been out of College for only five years, three of which were spent in the Air Force and one in law school. Although the decision to buy the Summit was a unilateral one (Breda was in New York shopping that fateful weekend), there have been few times since that the Harnishes have operated as anything but a team, each contributing to the success of their venture. Today they spend nearly 100 percent of their time wrapped up in the Summit, running it in every way, from selecting the wines for the wine list (Bob's pleasure) to making quiche L orraine (Breda's specialty) for Sunday brunch . The rest of the time, they 're mingling with guests, who can number as many as 140 on a peak weekend; answering questions about how such a young couple got involved in such a business ; overseeing the activities of some 40 employees, promoting the lodge as an all-year-round resort and as a conference site for sales executive groups. Their busy schedule- and they are on-call 24 hours a day- doesn't leave them much free time. They manage to do some entertaining and some traveling. The latter turns out to be a busman 's holiday which they spend seeing

what other resorts are doing and what ideas they can use. It is a busy, demanding life but one they obviously thrive on. With no experience as innkeepers, it was on-the-job training from the start. When they acquired the Summit, it was geared primarily to winter business. An early project was to broaden the appeal. This they accomplished by the addition of a swimming pool , two tennis courts and a variety of lawn games. Breda's "green thumb" is evident in the landscaping that abounds with begonias, dahlias and roses. Bob is convinced that plans for a golf course and a lake development by the corporation that operates the overall Killington resort area will eventually help balance out the summer and winter seasons. During the winter season -which lasts from November until April - the Killington area is one of the most popular, fastest-growing, highly-publicized ski facilities in the east. Will the Summit expand to meet the increasing demands for accommodations? Already doubled in size since they purchased it, the Harnishes say, no, it is the right size now to assure the kind of warm hospitality and service they pride themselves on . But that answer doesn't quite satisfy the ambitious Harnishes. Last year they purchased a motel about a mile from the Summit and will continue to be alert to other possibilities, which currently include the sales management of a nearby group of "town house"-style condominiums. But the Summit will always be their first concern and the accommodations and atmosphere reflect their good taste. Guest rooms are large, comfortable and attractively furnished . There are no telephones, no television sets and no room keys. All in an effort, says Bob, to give guests a real change from the typical commercial hotel or motel. The social rooms and dining areas are
furnished with antiques (Breda is big on auctions) and bits of Americana. The food at the Summit, too, is something special and the menus are seasoned with gourmet touches to please discriminating guests. In contrast to the Early American style of the lodge itself is the Harnish apartment. Evidence of Breda's interest in functional modern: the Barcelona chair designed by Mies van der Rohe; a lucite-and-stainless steel table lamp; a Dansk ice bucket. Relating to her Irish ancestry: Waterford crystal and Beleek coffee service. And proof of her craftsmanship: a shaggy rya rug with a modern Scandinavian pattern she is weaving. The apartment is actually a suite in the lodge, consisting of a living area, bedroom and dressing room . The bookshelves which divide the living area from the dressing room indicate Bob's interest in cabinetry. They were designed by him as were the charming rustic furnishings in the newer guest rooms. A history major at the University of Oregon, Breda says, as it turned out, she should have attended an interior decorating school. Reflecting on his own college days, Bob says he should have majored in English instead of political science and then gone on to take business management courses. Someday in the future, Bob says, he hopes to concentrate on management, rather than the day-by-day operational side of the business. Then , says Breda, they will move from their apartment to a house of their own, all modern and stainless steel. It will be somewhere in the woods with a beautiful view, a stream and some Herefords. Eleven miles east of Rutland (or 18 miles west of Woodstock) on US 4, turn into Route 100 (at Bill 's Country Store) and continue for about 路 two miles toward Killington Peak. Turn left into the Summit driveway, park and head for the entrance. There, a very large six-year-old St. Bernard named Daisy will open her sleepy eyes and thump her tail in greeting. You quickly ense the air of relaxation at Summit Lodge, thanks to Bob Harnish, Trinity '59 , and his charming wife, Breda, who somewhere along the line caught the flavor of Vermont hospitality and, with remarkable insight and perception , have become inn keepers extraordinaire.
Summit Lodge has year-round appeal.
Bob and Breda Harnish- and Daisy- greet guests in this attractive foyer.

Newest addition to the campus: The George M. Ferris Athletic Center. At left is the physical education building; center, locker rooms, equipment and training rooms; at right, the gymnasium-auditorium that provides basketball and indoor tennis facilities, and has a seating capacity of over 3,000 .
Ferris Athletic Center Dedicated • June 22, 1965. First announcement was made of the $2.2 million Ford Challenge Grant which included in its purposes the erection of a new athletic center. • April 19, 1967. It was announced that the projected center would be named in honor of George M. Ferris, Class of 1916, longtime trustee of the College and a dedicated alumnus. • June 27, 1967. Fire destroyed Alumni Hall where almost one-half of the physical education and intramural programs were conducted, and brought an urgent plea to the Trustees from then-President A /bert C. Jacobs to advance construction timing of the new Center. • March 1968. Construction began and the College community watched as the George M. Ferris Athletic Center took shape. At noon on Saturday, October 11 , 1969, about 150 persons, responding to an invitation to attend the cornerstone laying and dedication ceremonies of the George M. Ferris Athletic Center, gathered at the entranceway to the new facility. The ceremonies were short but the appreciations expressed to the chief donor were sincere. "We are extremely grateful to Mr. George M. Ferris," President Lockwood said, "for the interest and support which he has so long provided Trinity College. Fiftythree years ago, when he graduated, our facilities for physical education and intercollegiate athletics were, I think safe to say, limited. Thanks to his generosity we now have as versatile an athletic center as any college in the country. 10
"Although fortunately Trinity is incapable of professionalized athletics and uninterested in becoming a farm team, we do believe in the agreeableness and worth of athletics. We believe that artistry takes many forms and that agility, both intellectual and physical, still rightfully commands praise. In such facilities as these surely both the young man and young woman- not to mention the rest of us - can complement their other endeavors with physical well-being, and they can heighten their extracurricular talents. "Within this community, we are proud to have these opportunities, so essential if future graduates are to serve their fellowmen fully. We are grateful to all who have contributed and particularly to you Mr. Ferris, for making these opportunities possible." Lyman B. Brainerd '30, chairman of the Board of Trustees expressed similar appreciation: "It was with great interest and enthusiasm that the Trustees, several years ago, gave their approval for the construction of this Center, made possible by the generosity of our fellow Trustee, Mr. George M. Ferris. This Center, being dedicated today, provides greatly improved facilities for carrying on what has been the purpose of a Trinity education: to prepare the individual for a rewarding and constructive life enriched with interests and abilities beyond the boundaries of his vocation. "The construction of the George M. Ferris Athletic Center is evidence of the conviction held by the Trustees that a properly supervised physical education program and sports activities, both of an intercollegiate and intramural nature, are requisites for the full development of the individual. Evidence of this is found in the fact that
many of the present members of the Board were members of Trinity athletic teams during their undergraduate days. There is no group associated with the College more intent in following the fortunes of Trinity teams. We rejoice in victory and are understanding in defeat! "As Trustees, we express our deep appreciation to our colleague, Mr. Ferris, and know that Trinity's future will be greatly enhanced by the splendid facilities provided by the Ferris Athletic Center." Mr. Ferris, a track and baseball man during his college days and a recipient of the Eigenbrodt Trophy, acknowledged the words of appreciation with typical modesty. He thanked Dr. Albert C. Jacobs, president emeritus, who was present for the ceremony, the Trustees, members of the Athletic Advisory Committee and all who had contributed "to make this the best of small college athletic centers and one worthy of this College. I will not forget Trinity College," continued Mr. Ferris, "it has certainly not forgotten me." In closing, Mr. Ferris read a Sanskrit poem which the late actor Ronald Colman used at the close of an episode of "The Halls of Ivy," a television program of several years ago that depicted the life of a college president. (Editor's note: The opening and closing scenes for "The Halls of Ivy" were filmed at Trinity College, a suggestion made to Mr. Colman by Richard Barthlemess '17.)
The physical education building contains 6,500 square feet of Tartan covered flooring, permitting use of the space for intramural basketball, volleyball, fencing and tennis, and for physical education classes and free activity. The third unit, located at the center of the complex, houses on the top floor, locker rooms, an equipment room with laundry, and a training room. The first floor contains a wrestling room , special exercise room, and a crew room including a four-man rowing tank provided by the Friends of Trinity Rowing. All of these rooms will be available for physical education classes as well as varsity and freshman teams. Offices for the physical education faculty and coaches are located on either side of the connector between the main gymnasium and the locker rooms. A tie with the past has not been forgotten. In the entranceway leading to the main foyer is a bricked area with a bronze plaque set in the center. Sentimentally, the bronze plaque reads: "These bricks and cornerstone are from Alumni Hall, Trinity's first gymnasium, built in 1887, which stood for 80 years on the northeast side of the Chapel until destroyed by fire June 27, 1967."
Look to this day .. . For it is Life, In its brief course Lie all the realities of your existenceThe bliss of growthThe glory of actionThe splendor of beauty. For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision; But today- well lived Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to This Day! The dream that had begun years ago became a reality and the $2 1/z million complex officially became a part of the physical education plant, now one of the most complete athletic centers on a small college campus. Both attractive and functional , the three new buildings of the Center architecturally complement Trowbridge Memorial Pool (1932) and the Memorial Field House ( 1948) and are connected by enclosed ramps. The gymnasium-auditorium , located at the west end of Trowbridge, contains varsity and freshman basketball courts, and three tennis courts for pre-season practice and exhibitions. The floor is covered with Tartan, a relatively new "perfect surface. " Retractable bleachers have a seating capacity of 2,300 and additional seating of 1,000 can be provided on the floor itself, making it an ideal location for indoor commencements, convocations and other special events. (Editor's note: First use of the building was on Sunday, October 12, the day following the dedication, when some 2,000 gathered to hear a concert by folksinger Pete Seeger.)

Trinity College Athletic Director 2069 Trinity College Athletic Director 1969
I hope that nothing will be lost in the translation of this letter to the universal language which probably will have been adopted some time ago. You may have to find a linguist on the faculty whose specialty is archaic (20th century) English. Many people would consider this note to you presump-
tuous on my part, for there is a growing and knowledgeable segment of socity which believes that man, through his reckless and uncontrolled destruction of the earth's natural resources, will not be on this planet in 2069. Although there may be just reason for this point of view, the very fact that you are reading this Jetter proves their concerns unwarranted. I do, however, hope that they have cleared up the smog problem in Los Angeles by now. On the eve of our third football game in this centennial year of intercollegiate football, many things are running through my mind. Though it is history to you, our present student body is a concerned group of young men and- for the first time in Trinity"s history- women. We have seen student activism on our campuses in proportions and in intensity never before witnessed in this country. Students are, to say the least, discouraged with the apparent lack of ability of their predecessors to solve many of society's major ills. Some believe God to be dead, and he is not; we are involved in a war in Viet Nam, where many think we should not be; we have many Americans starving, and they should not be; and we have bitter confrontations between our black and white citizens, which only serve to tear us further apart. I trust by now you have solved the problems of war. malnutrition and civil rights. Last year on the home front at Trinity we witnessed a student demonstration where Trustees were physically imprisoned in the Trustees' Room. This student action- virtually unheard of before- was the result of poor communication and impatience. They thought the Trustees were unwilling to discuss their demands for increased scholarship aid for black students. We see more requests by students and some faculty for a larger undergraduate voice in the affairs of the College. Many of us feel this concern to be healthy, provided the integrity and stability of the institution is not jeopardized. There are others. however, who feel that these upheavals are not motivated in good faith by well-intentioned students but by those who seek to destroy their bitter enemy, "The Establishment." I personally am confident that Trinity will survive. Regarding our intercollegiate athletic program, I am more than ever convinced that the competitive sports program contributes more to the total development of our young men than any other single activity. We have many faculty who support this view. It seems that only those who have not participated disagree. Sincerely believing in this, our staff has been committed to encouraging maximum participation. For example. last year with an enrollment of approximately 1.300 men we had 600 report as candidates for intercollegiate teams. with 500 completing the season. This year some 33 different teams will represent Trinity on the athletic field. No matter what one's feelings are, this is a most impressive statistic. With this kind of interest in athletics, and our conviction as to the value of participation, I cannot help but be optimistic about the caliber and substance of present and future Trinity men. By the time you read this, they will have helped solve the aforementioned problems. One of my real regrets, however. is that we are unable to provide this kind of athletic experience to our whole stu-
dent body. If only we could encourage every man to participate on just one athletic team for even just one season! I know this will never come about- and perhaps it is better there is that much difference among us. In a similar vein. we have some concern about our new physical education program. This year we implemented a new curriculum, presented to and passed by the faculty last spring. Briefly, we have eliminated all requirements for graduation except those of the major and a total of 36 course credits. With this change, physical education, formerly a two-year requirement, also becomes elective, but, for the first time in Trinity's history, carries academic credit. We have not yet had enough experience with this to pass judgment. At present we have mixed feelings. On the positive side, our staff reports a completely different attitude exhibited by students in the vanous classes; they are much more attentive and show more interest. This offers the kind of learning situation more closely akin to our intercollegiate program, one in which the students are there because they want to be. On the negative side, we realize those who need it most will, in all probability. not be reached. I wonder if we are fulfilling our responsibility when in the years directly ahead some of our graduates will not be able to swim, will probably never understand how it feels to be in a condition of even minimal physical fitness, nor will they have the skills and ability to participate in even one leisure-time recreational sport. Our technological advances are proceeding at such a rapid pace that our physiological adaptations seem jo be falling further and further behind. We are being forced into a sedentary life. Man, to function efficiently, still has the physiological needs which were required for survival such a short time ago. I cannot help but think of some oft-repeated advice our present football coach emeritus, Dan Jessee, used to give his teams: "Let's not outsmart ourselves.'' In still another vein, I cannot help but wonder what the character of your program is, and what problems and concerns you face. (Surely you must have some!) If it is true that our knowledge has doubled in the past ten years, it is extremely difficult to envision what will happen in the next hundred. Less than 66 years have elapsed between December 1903 when the Wright Brothers were the first to fly (a distance of 120 feet) and I 969 when two astronauts first landed on the moon. Should our knowledge and technology advance at a pace similar to that of the past decade, you might well be preparing for the Inter-Planetary Olympic Games. A more likely occurrence, however, will be for Trinity to consistently exceed her traditional geographical limitations and have on your intercollegiate schedule teams from all over the country, as well as around the globe. I hope the problems of the athletic director are not in direct proportion to the distance travelled by your teams; and I trust all the headaches of scheduling and logistics will be easily solved by the computer- which undoubtedly has capabilities we in this era cannot imagine. When you read this letter, please look carefully at those in attendance. With the advance of medical science in the field of major organ transplants, I may be reading it over your shoulder.

The closets were too small! There were no sink stoppers! Where were the ironing boards? And so on ... and on . . .

Of the 48 transfer students, who came with credentials from 30 colleges, 17 entered as sophomores, 28 as juniors, three as seniors. They wasted little time in being assimilated. They joined the concert choir, th e band, the Student Speakers' Bureau, the Tripod. They were elected to the Senate, became Junior Advisors, cheer leaders and members of Cerberus.

BIRTHDAY
Centennial For The Bishop
November J1, 1969 marked the IOOth anniversary of the dedication of the statue of Bishop Thomas Church Brownell, founder and first president of the College. Originally erected on the Old Campus, the statue was relocated in 1872 to City (now Bushnell) Park when the College property was sold to make way for the Connecticut State Capitol Building and was finally placed in its present location in 1878. Generations of Trinity men have viewed The Bishop with a certain degree of reverence but nonetheless, over the years, have found the edifice a natural rallying point and one ideally suited to adornment. This account of the dedication a century ago is reprinted from the November 15, 1869 issue of The Trinity Tablet, Vol. JJ, No. IV. THE UNVEILING OF THE BROWNELL STATUE. BISHOP BROWNELL- THE DONOR- THE STATUE- THE SITUATIONPREPARATIONS- THE DAY- THE VISITORS- THE ORDER OF EXERCISES- THE CEREMONY.
The much-talked-of, long-expected statue of BISHOP BROWNELL, has at length been erected. Full two years have elapsed since the model was first shaped at Rome, and various have been the rumors concerning the final disposition of the bronze figure . But all conjectures are now at an end , and our campus has received additional ornamentation in the presence of this image of the first President of the college. BISHOP BROWNELL, Whom this statue so faithfully represents, is justly regarded as the founder of Trinity College. To his untiring exertions and earnest zeal alone is due its existence as an institution of learning. The project of an Episcopal college in this country was started several years before the illustrious man entered
16
upon his sacred office; but so decided an opposition arose that the idea was for a time abandoned. The good Bishop revived the project, worked long and strenuously in its behalf, and succeeded at length in his endeavor. On the 16th of May, 1823, the college was founded, and he was elected to the presidential chair. This position he filled with great ability for a few years, when his Episcopal duties demanded his undivided attention and forced him to resign . His name is inseparably woven into the history of the college, and will pass into oblivion only when Trinity has ceased to exist. THE DONOR. Mr. Gordon W. Burnham, of New York, to whose munificence the college and the city owe this splendid memorial , is the son-in-law of the deceased Bishop. His original intention was to erect the statue in Cedar Hill cemetery, but considering the intimate connection between the bishop and the college, and the consequent peculiar fitness of the college grounds as a location for the statue, he presented it to Trinity. THE STATUE Was designed in Rome by lves, the sculptor, and was cast in Munich by Ferdinand Miller, at an expense of nearly twenty thousand dollars. It is of hollow bronze, eleven feet in height, and is a most exquisite piece of workmanship. It represents the Bishop in full canonicals, his left hand clasping to his breast the Book of Common Prayer, and his right arm extended in the act of pronouncing the benediction. Everything about it is perfect: the folds of the gown, the stole, the veining of the hands, the clear and delicately cut features, and above all the mild and kindly expression of the venerable face. The benefits to be derived from this magnificent work of art belong not simply to the college. The city like-
wise will have a part in them. The pedestal is built of Quincy granite, and consists of nine separate blocks. The base or lowest block weighs upwards of seventeen tons. The fifth from the foundation is an immense cube having Corinthun columns carved at its corners. On the front of the stone beneath it, are the following words in raised and polished letters: PRESENTED BY
GORDON W. BURNHAM. A. D. MDCCCLXIX.
The whole structure is shaped somewhat like an altar, and cost over seven thousand dollars. Underneath is a solid foundation of masonry, seven feet in depth and ten feet square. THE SITUATION
of the statue can hardly be surpassed. It stands upon the campus some distance in the rear of Brownell Hall, and overlooks the park. It faces north and can be seen in numerous directions. As the depot is just beyond the park, those who enter the city or pass through it in the cars may receive the benefit of a full view of the colossal figure. PREPARATIONS.
At the beginning of the present term the site of the statue was surveyed and marked out. Soon afterwards the ground was broken and work commenced in earnest. The frequency of rain hindered rapid progress so that the ceremony of unveiling was much delayed. The foundations extended but three and a half feet beneath the original surface, and the ground in the immediate vicinity was graded up to the base of the pedestal, thus forming a gracefully sloping mound. The faculty intend next spring to grade entirely this part of the campus. No derrick of sufficient height and power to elevate the granite blocks could be obtained, and one was improvised for the purpose. The raising and setting of the separate parts of the pedestal was a severe and laborious task, the lowest block occupying nearly six days in being placed in position. The pedestal was made by Mr. J. G. Batterson of this city, who also superintended the erection of the statue. THE DAY.
Thursday Nov. II th , at 2 p.m ., was the time finally fixed upon for the unveiling of the statue. The morning dawned bright and pleasant, and the absence of clouds in the sky promised a moderately warm day. But by noon a cold northerly wind set in, which brought up several large clouds, and reminded one of the lateness of the season. Slight flurries of snow occurred at intervals during the afternoon, and constant motion was requisite to keep the feet warm. Still the weather was fair for November, and ought not to have disappointed any one. THE VISITORS.
A large number of citizens of both sexes and of all ages had assembled at the spot by the time appointed for the unveiling. Several hacks and other carriages were drawn up on the road just outside the grounds, containing those who desired an elevated and comfortable position for viewing the exercises. Besides the faculty and students, a number of the alumni were here to witness the ceremonies. Among the distinguished personages present were Bishops Williams (the Chancellor) , Potter, Neely, and Clark, Ex-Governors Cleveland and Hawley, Gov. Jewell , Gordon W. Burnham, Esq, Rev. Dr. Bushnell of this city, and Rev. Dr. Haight, of Trinity Church, New York.
THE ORDER OF EXERCISES
was as follows: 1. PROCESSION OF THE TRUSTEES, PROFESSORS, STUDENTS AND
ALUMNI. 2. PRAYERS, by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Neely, of Maine. 3. THE UNVEILING OF THE STATUE, by Mrs. Gordon W. Burnham. Music: "Auld Lang Syne," by the Band. 4. ADDRESS AND READING OF THE LETTER OF PRESENTATION, by the Hon. C. F. Cleveland. 5. REPLY, by Rev. Dr. Jackson, President of the College. Music: "Jubilate," by the Students. 6. ADDRESS, by Bishop Williams. Music: by the Band. 7. ADDRESS, by Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island. Music: 103d Hymn, by the Students and Band. 8. ADDRESS, by General J. R. Hawley. Music: by the Band. 9. ADDRESS, by Bishop Potter, of New York . DoXOLOGY: Students and Band. BENEDICTION.
Programmes with the above order were distributed among the audience previous to the commencement of the exercises. THE CEREMONY.
Promptly at 2 o'clock, the students, professors, alumni, and trustees assembled in Seabury Hall, and a procession was formed under the direction of Mr. George E. Elwell, of the class of '70, college marshal, and Messrs. P. S. Bryant and R. F. Bixby, also of '70, assistant marshals. In the procession were likewise the donor, the speakers, and several other celebrities. The bishops were dressed in full canonicals, the faculty and marshals had gowns, and they all wore Oxford caps. From the chapel the procession marched to the statue, the students arranged in inverse order of classes and the others behind, singing the 202d hymn. Upon the platform which had been erected on the east side of the statue, the bishops, the faculty, the invited guests, and the friends of the late Bishop, were furnished with seats, while the students and alumni disposed themselves at its base. The exercises were opened with prayers offered by Bishop Neely of Maine. The statue was covered with a veil of white cloth to which were attached two cords. These were now handed to Mrs. Burnham, the daughter of the late Bishop, who by pulling gently removed the covering, and the statue stood revealed in all its beauty and grandeur. A murmur of admiration ran through the assembled multitude. Mrs. Brownell , now aged eighty two years, had been conveyed in a carriage to the grounds, and remained until after the unveiling, but her feeble health obliged her to leave before the conclusion of the exercises. At the moment of unveiling, Colt's Band played "Auld Lang Syne," which added greatly to the impressiveness of the ceremony. Ex-Governor C. F. Cleveland was then introduced and made a brief address, referring to the pleasantness of such an occasion, and complimenting Mr. Burnham's liberality and good taste. He proceeded to read the Letter of Presentation from Mr. Burnham, which formally announced his gift, and expressed the value and esteem with which the college ought always to regard the statue. President Jackson responded, thanking Mr. Burnham warmly for his generous gift, and declaring that it would be held in honor and veneration by all who would ever be connected with this institution. After the singing of the "Jubilate," Bishop Williams, of this diocese, delivered an historical address. He spoke in feeling terms of the life of his venerated predecessor and of
17
the gratitude due him from Trinity College. He traced the history of this institution, showed how intimately associated with it the Bishop had been, and dwelt upon his tireless, unceasing endeavors, and his diligent labors for its establishment, and his final success. He followed him through his immediate connection with it and his never ending care for it after his resignation as President. He mentioned the recalling of old memories by the present occasion, declared that he now spoke simply as a son of our Alma Mater, and closed with an earnest prayer for the future success and welfare of the college. The band followed with a somewhat inappropriate selection , and Bishop Clark then delivered an address. He spoke of the propriety of erecting statues to the memory of great and good men, and deprecated the employment of unskillful artists for such objects. He declared that well made statues keep the faces and memories of their originals fresh in our minds and thus exert a powerful moral influence over our lives. He extolled the fine situation of the present image, and explained the peculiar fitness of the ground for its location. He referred kindly to the widow of the late Bishop, now well advanced in years, and concluded with a description and eulogy of the life and character of him whose statue had been just unveiled. The students next sang the I 03d Hymn to the tune of Old Hundred, the band playing the accompaniment, after which Gen. J. R. Hawley commenced his remarks. He spoke of the
history and adva nce of education in New England, and said that this bronze figure served not only as a memorial of the late Bi shop, but also of education. He declared that wealth received no such lasting testimonials, but that these were the rewards of greatness of heart and mind. He affirmed that the true purpose of life was to live not for ourselves, but for God and our country; bade the students to be constantly mindful of the motto of their college, and desired the future prosperity of the institution which announced its ultimate object in the words "Pro ecclesia et patria." After a selection by the band, Bishop Potter delivered an add ress. He spoke in behalf of the faculty of which he was a member when the late Bishop occupied the Presidential chair. He brought forward man y pleasing recollections of the deceased, mentioned several of his own experiences here, remarked upon the changes since that time, and prayed that the memory of the founder of the college might never be forgotten. After the singi ng of the doxology, Bishop Williams closed the exercises by pronouncing the benediction. Th e sculpture of Chauncey B. l ves (1810-1894) can be found in a number of major museums and public institutions. The Brownell statue was his first important work in bronze. James G. Batterson, whose firm built the pedestal, was also founder and first president (1864) of the Travelers In surance Co.

BEHIND THE SCENES
Activities of the Board of Fellows Three Saturdays each year, a group of twelve Trinity alumni meets at the College to discuss and report on matters of significance to the College, its students, faculty, and administration. These meetings represent only the tip of the iceberg of the total work of Trinity's Board of Fellows. The Board of Fellows has existed for over one hundred years - off and on- as a part of the Trinity College Corporation. Yet few know what the role and function of the board is. And indeed that role has changed during the past few years as the board has played a more active- if largely invisible- part in the conduct of College affairs. Basically, the board has served as an arm of the trustees, aiding the trustees in the formulation of policies for the College by conducting depth studies in areas of vital concern, and reporting the results of these studies together with recommendations for action by the trustees. With one exception, none of these reports and recommendations has been made public, or made available to anyone .except the administration and trustees of the College. A listing of the subjects studied and reported upon will give an idea of the contribution of the board during the past few years: 1. The role of Trinity College during the next ten to twenty years (Alumni Magazine, Fall 1966 and Winter 1967 issues); 2. A report and commentary on faculty policies, including faculty compensation; 3. Financial aid to students; 4. Interinstitutional cooperation among colleges and universities; 5. Social aspects of undergraduate life at Trinity College. The Board of Fellows, at the suggestion of the trustees and the administration, selects one or two areas for study each year, and assigns a committee the responsibility of doing the work required to present a report and make recommendations to the trustees. Even a cursory look at the subjects studied to date indicates the amount of research required to meet this responsibility. All of this work is done, individually and collectively, by the members of the board on their own time, and utilizing their own resources. Significant contributions to past studies have been made by students, members of the faculty and administration at Trinity and other colleges and universities, government officials, and others whose knowledge related to the particular subject of study.
What kind of men serve on the board? How are they chosen, and by whom? What experience or expertise do they bring to their work? Members of the Board of Fellows serve a three year term, and may be asked to serve an additional three years. Six "Senior Fellows" are elected by the trustees; six "Junior Fellows" by the alumni. Current members of the board are (date indicated expiration of term) : Senior Fellows Dr. Charles E. Jacobson, Jr. '31 172 East Center Street, Manchester, Conn. Reid L. Shaw '52 1206 Ruffner Road, Schenectady, New York Gerald J. Hansen, Jr. '51 1139 Norsam Road, Gladwyne, Penna. Dr. Edwin N. Nilson '37 Kenmore Road , Bloomfield, Conn. Douglas G.

O'Hara '55 University of Conn., Avery Point, Groton, Conn. 1972 William M. Polk '62 34 Green Ave. , Lawrenceville, New Jersey Like all former Boards of Fellows, these members bring to their assignment a variety of experience and a blend of interests and skills gained in careers in business, education and the professions. The board is currently discussing its future role to determine whether contributions above and beyond the current "study-report-recommend" effort might better enable it to serve the College community. Could the board, for example, become more directly involved in day-to-day campus affairs at Trinity? How could the board operate to facilitate greater communication between College and alumni, and greater alumni involvement with the College? Answers to these and other questions concerning its future role will be developed during the coming months, and will be reported to students and alumni. Only one thing is clear. The members of the board intend to keep both alumni and students better informed concerning the activities of the group, and to actively solicit ideas and suggestions from all quarters as to how the interests of Trinity may best be advanced in the years to come. 19
SPORTS SCENE In and around Baltimore one can see fading bumper stickers which read, "The Year of the Bird." Trinity alumni in the area should have sent some of those stickers to Hartford, for it was the year of the Bird here- James (Jay) "The Bird" Bernardoni, that is. While Trinity's football Bantams had their wings clipped this season (3-4-1) "Bird" Bernardoni soared to new heights setting numerous passing records for the Blue and Gold and shattering regional and national marks. He started the year as Trinity's only entry in the NCAA centennial record book for having the nation's

20
most accurate passing performance in a single game, 93.3 % . He ended the year rewriting the Trinity passing record book and topping the published New England College Division Record for total offense in a career with 3,575 yards. For the record , Bernardoni established these Trinity standards: Most yards gained total offense in career, 3,575; most yards passing career, 3,574 (right!- his career total yards rushing was one yard); most passes attempted in career ( 506) and most completed ( 315); and best accuracy for one season, 63.1 % (1969) and best accuracy for a career, 62.2 % (3 years). He also shares the single season mark for passing, 1 ,382 yards, with Rich Rissell '66. It was a year for records. The team also participated in breaking a national mark by coming from behind in the last seven seconds to tie RPI, 43-43 , to establish the highest scoring tie game in the history of the collegiate game. When Coach Don Miller was asked for a comment after that 43-43 donnybrook, he said with a little grin: "I guess we need more offense." The next week his team delivered , scoring a 44-34 victory over Colby. A week later the Bantams won their sixth straight Parents Day game by downing PMC Colleges, 35-14. This brought the team even on the season, 2-2-1. The early season losses were to Williams, 20-10, and Bates, 26-21. A hard fought 27-14 victory over Coast Guard produced a moment of optimism for a winning season which was dashed the following Saturday when Amherst prevailed, 35-7. Wesleyan came onto Jessee Field for the finale sporting an unblemished record and seeking its first undefeated season in 21 years. But the "Bird," who had been hurt in the fourth period against Amherst, and his Bantam teammates had their feathers up for this one. The Cardinals suddenly found themselves battling for their lives and with two minutes gone in the third period Wesleyan was trailing, 18-6. But the Red and Black fought back, drove for one score and, after stopping a Trinity drive, returned an attempted field goal attempt 68 yards to set up the winning tally. The Cardinals then had to hang on the rest of the way, beating off a strong Trinity attack in the closing seconds. Unfortunately, the "Bird," who completed 22 of 32 in the game, couldn't connect on fourth down with seven seconds remaining. It is to Trinity's credit that the team went for the win rather than attempt a field goal for a tie. In post-game statements, Wesleyan 's personable coach, Don Russell , had high praise for the Bantams performance. "They played a great game," said Russell, "and beating Trinity means more to us than winning the Little Three Title." Bernardoni was invited to the Boston Sportswriters annual dinner to receive the New England College Division passing title. To his coach, the 5'8" quarterback did more than set passing records. "He was an excellent captain, a fine leader. The team had confidence in him and so did his coaches." It was indeed the "Year of the Bird," but in Hartford, not Baltimore.
While many records were broken during the past football season, there was one that was set 20 years ago that finally got into the book. This fall the New England Sports Information Directors Association (NESIDA) published its first New England Intercollegiate Record Book.
Bill Vibert '52 with sons Todd and Mark.
The published record for most points kicked after touchdown was 26 for a season and 40 for a career. "Whoops," said the Coast Guard Academy, "we had a man who kicked 70." When this report hit the press Bill Vibert '52 "kicked," and rightly so, he had booted 87 through the uprights during the point-productive Trinity years of 1949-1951. Also Vibert's 34 in 1949 is a record high. And in one game against Middlebury in that year, the 5'9" 160-pound placekicker put nine out of ten through the goal posts.
The former Trinity kicker, who is now a family man, the father of three and chairman of the humanities department at Westledge School in Simsbury, credits the high scoring Trinity teams of 1949-1951 (they won 21 and lost 3 and tallied 818 points during the period) and his coach Dan Jessee for his kicking success. "It seemed I was always back there kicking," said Vibert, recalling those golden years, "and I was lucky to have a coach like Dan who gave me a big lift in my sophomore year by letting me stay on the squad after having a mild case of polio." Vibert's left leg had been affected in the summer of his freshman year but he got stronger as time passed. A grateful Vibert responded and helped Trinity to an undefeated 1949 season by kicking a record 34 placements including the one that made the difference in a 7-6 victory over Wesleyan. Vibert added 27 extra points in his junior year and 26 more in his senior year and had recovered strength in his leg sufficiently to quarterback the team during his last two seasons. In those days, tape was commonly used by the kicker and holder to mark the spot for the try for an extra point. Vibert and his holders, quarterback Ed Ludorff and later Al Magnoli, used a hockey puck with tape on one side. "It made a handy reference point," recalls Vi bert. And now the handy NESIDA record book includes Vibert- most kicks after touchdown, game, season and career. And while we are on the subject of kicking, sophomore Quentin Keith didn't have a bad season this year, completing 23 of 25 attempts including his first 20 without a miss. Unlike Vibert, Keith is a soccer styled kicker, approaching the ball from an angle. But like Vibert, the sophomore from Bethesda, Md ., had suffered an illness which restricted contact. Like Jessee did for Vi bert, Coach Miller found a place on the squad for Keith, and as was the case in 1949, the 1969 kicker responded gratefully by splitting the uprights.

Clarence Penn continues to augment the collection of records which he has built for Trinity's Library over the past 15 or more years. The College is indeed grateful for his loyal interest. Your Secretary's name was noted in the August 23 issue of the New Britain H erald. Ken Saunders in his column, "Speaking of Sports," mentioned me as an outstanding pole vaulter 'Neath the Elms. Heavens, I had forgotten!

Walcott Chapin is commiSSioner of cemeteries in Williamstown, Vt. He figures this is one of the better ways to keep out of them. If you can't lick 'em, take 'em over. Like the astronauts, Vertrees Young collects rocks. He hoped to give his rich and varied collection to Trinity, but the College doesn't give enough instruction in geology to put it to full use, so the collection is going to Tulane. Dal Squire, after much search, has found a retirement home in La Mesa, Calif., that he really likes. He wouldn't live anywhere but Southern California, of course, of course. What do our Florida classmates think of that? Dal never married, " because" he says, " the girls have been too smart to have him." He implies a phenomenal improvement in one-half the human race. The Alumni Directory seems never to have recorded the D.D. degree Hobart College awarded Sam Edsall in 1943 . In the academic world, to which we all belong, willy-nilly, these things are important, and Sam should not have Jet his modesty bide the honor. It honors us, too. Your new Secretary did not write the note appeari ng under his name in the Summer Alumni Magazine about Bert Smith. He still doesn't know any more about The Bertram L. Smith Scholarship Fund than that it has a letterhead. Besides the five class members named above, your secretary, since assuming the office in June, by mid-October has heard from Reuel Stratton, Mose Usher, Nick Zipkin, Ted Cowles, John Barns - ten out of 31 living whose addresses are known. That's a wonderful proportion, and the secretary is deeply grateful. The Class's sympathy goes to Ron Kinney on the death of his son of the Class of 1941.

October ll will go down in George Ferris' history book as one of the outstanding occasions of his life, especially in respect to his association with his College. On that day the George M. Ferris Athletic Center was dedicated in recognition of his substantial contribution to the $2,500,000 Center. It is a three-building complex containing a gym auditorium to seat 2,500, a physical education building for women as well as men, and a multi-purpose building. Later in the afternoon Trinity and RPI each scored 43 points to establish a national college record for the highest scoring tie-game in football's 100-year history. Rod Pierce reports his removal to Fairport, N.Y., where he and Mrs. Rod have joined their so n, a professor at Bexley Hall , which had moved to Fairport from Gambier, Ohio. Rod's domicile is "de-
25
lightfully located at the top of a low hill with a wide view in all directions. Five acres. One-half hour east of Rochester." Widows of many Men of '16 have been infected with the loyalty of their former husbands. Your Secretary would cite again the particular loyalty of Mrs. "Walpole" Meyer, who has been contributing $1,000 a year for several years to the 1916 Memorial Scholarship Fund. These contributions will continue until a total of $10,000 has been contributed. Mrs. Frank Achatz has also been sending the College $500.00 a year to be used to enlarge the corpus of our Scholarship Fund. The most recent contribution comes from Mrs. Ray Hansen as an expression of her husband's interest and loyalty to the College. Another expression of a widow's loyalty to her husband's College came since the last issue of the Alumni Magazine from Mrs. Russ Johnston. Having heard that your Secretary was knee-deep in the preparation of a Chronology of the College, she sent many pages of notes which Russ had transcribed during the years immediately following our graduation.

Clinton B. F . Brill RFD #1 Box 228D Tallahassee, Fla. 32301 Your Secretary wishes to correct and augment the notes on our Fiftieth Reunion published in the last issue of the Trinity Alumni Magazine . Eighteen of the 26 living members attended one or more of the scheduled events. I inadvertently omitted the names of Art Grayson and Ernie Kallinicb from the roster of those attending. Ed Armstrong reported that he drives a Lincoln Continental that is eight years old and that he would not trade it for one of the present models even money. Ed retired last year from the Union & New Haven Trust Co., where he spent most of his business life, the last 20 as head of the trust department. He continues active as a member of the board of directors, vice chairman of the board, and chairm an of the trust committee, with an office in the Bank. The Union & New Haven Trust Co., merged on October I with the Fairfield County Trust Co., forming the third largest bank in Connecticut. Ham Barber reports that he spent his entire business life with the Travelers Insurance Co., from which he retired a few years ago. Ham has homes in Bellair Beach, Windsor and a summer cottage in New Hampshire. Louis Antupit continues to maintain his home in Hartford but has succumbed to the sun in Florida where he spends winters. Art Grayson and Ed Jessen both spent their business careers in the insurance field
26
from which they are now retired. Art lives in Hartford while Ed has succumbed to the charms of Cape Cod, where he lives in Osterville. Ed invites classmates who visit the Cape to visit him for a nostalgic reminiscence party. Vin Potter also spent his active business years in the insurance field with The tEtna Life Insurance Co. lrv Partridge spent his life with the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Co., until his retirement a few years ago. He was active in community affairs in Wethersfield, serving on the school board, among other things, and rose to be one of the most prominent and influential Masons in Connecticut. Ernie Kallinicb is the only one of us who spent his life in the advertising world. He retired after years as an advertising manager. He lives on Pinckney Street in Boston. Stan Leeke is another of our group who enjoys the winters in Florida, at Treasure Island, where he and Ham Barber get together each spring to see a few ball games. After completing a course in physical education at Columbia University, Stan spent most of his life as athletic director and coach for the schools of Hampton, Conn., where he still maintains his main residence. "Doc" Nirenstein has spent his life practicing law. For some years he was on the staff of Judge Philip McCook and was intimately associated with him and many other leading members of the bar in New York. He lives in Pauling where he is a neighbor of his friend , Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. Herb Pressey is the only Episcopal clergyman left in our ranks. He has had a varied career, spending much of his life with the armed services which brought assignments with different units in many different localities under conditions seldom encountered by a man of his calling. He is now retired and lives in Cumberland Center, Maine. Ben Silverberg has a big advantage over most of us. Having spent his life being a real estate broker, he is now retired, but continues his interest with certain clients. He maintains an office which he can use when the spirit moves him, makes some money out of it and keeps himself from getting bored. He works on Main Street in Hartford. Ev Skau came from his iob as director of the Southern Regional Research Laboratory of the U.S., Department of Agriculture, in New Orlea ns, with his wife. She impressed all with her facility in remembering na mes and faces of Ev's classmates and all the events and situations concerning the Class and Trinity College, much of which was new to her. Ev has written many reports on his researches in numerous problems of agriculture in the south and still has a stack of projects under way. He and Jack Williams are by far the most prolific authors in our Class. Sam Traub is retired like most of us. He spent his life in merchandising sales and lives on Chester Street in Ha rtford . Henry Valentine has spent his life in municipal service in numerous capacities, much of it in West Hartford , where he has lived for years. He retired after years as director of assessments for the town. He did not tell us how he performed that office so as to satisfy the municipality authorities and at the same time maintain such a large circle of friends. Dick Wise came from his home at Babylon, Long Island, where he is still active in newspaper work. He is one of the few of us not at least partially retired.
Ed Scbortmann wrote from his home in Cranston, Rhode Island, of his regret that his health would preclude him from traveling to Hartford for the Reunion. Except for a brief interruption in 1920, Ed worked for the American Woolen Co., from 1919 to 1938, when the company liquidated. He did purchasing, processing and inventory control. Since that time, Ed has worked in his father-in-law's dairy so as to remain in Cranston. Since 1966, he has been semi-retired, though he still keeps payroll and tax records, working at home. Austin King could not get away from Ames, Iowa, where he lives because of some last minute legal commitments he could not postpone. After being graduated from Harvard Law School in 1922, Austin was admitted to the Connecticut Bar and practiced in New Haven for six years after which he became an attorney with the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co. After 18 years at the home office in Newark, N.J., he was moved, first to Crawfordsville, Indiana and then to Ames. He was retired in 1962, but has continued a small private practice which keeps him active. Jack Williams was also unable to get to Ha rtford, but wrote of his regret at not returning to Trinity to complete his undergraduate work after the interruption of World War I in 1917. In 1921, he became a teach ing assistant in physical chemistry at the University of Wisconsin. He continued at that University until he was retired a nd made emeritus professor of chemistry in 1968. He received his Ph.D. in physical chemistry in 1925 when he was an instructor, was made professor in 1938 and continued to teach at the same time he was engaged in extensive research projects, especially in the field of physical chemistry of biopolymers. He was in the forefront of those who used the newly developed ultracentrifuge in such studies. Like Ev Skau he wrote scores of papers, reporting on his work. He was one of those who collaborated in writing Experimental Physical Chemistry, a standard work in the field, the seventh edition of which is soon to be published by McGraw-Hill. He has held fellowships from the National Academy of SciencesNational Research Council and similar bodies. He was prominent among those who. during the years of World War IT, evolved a process for large scale production of antibody-rich protein preparations which is still in use in many countries. Ed Armstrong reported that the last news from Sam Jarvis was that he was quite ill and had been for some time. Your Secretary reported that he had spent ten years on active duty with the army in two World Wars which is pretty much for an amateur. He wound up as colonel in the corps of engineers with the Ninth U.S. Army in Germany. After the war, he became a partner in a firm of consulting engineers and for the last 15 years, before retiring in 1966, he was either managing partner or president of his firm. During this period, their volume of contracts to design modern high speed divided grade separated highways was extremely la rge. Your Secretary urges that you advise him of yo ur activities whether it be fishing in the Gulf of Mexico or completing a research project or writing a report or taki ng a trip to some other part of the country or abroad seeing or hearing news about a classmate. The fact that we may have no more formal reunions should not
thinking of you during one of New Hampshire's blizzards. Have a ball, Mimi. Our 35th reunion coming up in 1970 will be on September 25, 26 and 27 . This is the double 35 so let's make it big! Paul Adams left a new mailing address of Steward and Kissel, 25 Broad Street, New York, N .Y . Horace Barnard IV- Star Route 2, P.O Box 31 at Port Townsend, Washington. Doctor Tony Paddon, after spending years up north in the Labrador country, is residing in England at 18 Woodland Drive, Hove, Sussex.

He was driving alone from Wellesley to Lancaster, N .H., to visit his sister when his car apparently swerved off the road. He was thrown out and suffered a fractured neck, shoulder, arm and leg. Bert is making good progress and hopes to be released from St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Brighton, Mass., in late November and to return to Wellesley College. Your Secretary had a fine letter from Doug Gay who is still successfully managing Brookview Farms, Pine Grove, Ky. 40470. Doug's life-long business partner, Guthrie Bell, died June 11 with the result Doug is having his fill of many management responsibilities. Doug reports a new granddaughter- Lucy Wood who arrived last May. Our congratulations to Fred Basbour who was elected to the Hartford Board of Education.

News of the Class of 1936 remains sparse. Alumni really enjoy reading about their classmates. Why not drop me a note today? Stew Ogilvy writes of his new position as executive director of the Hugh Moore Fund, a philanthropic foundation whose ultimate aim is the promotion of world peace. Thus, he is now engaged in two causes that for many years he had devoted most of his spa re time to- world federa l government a nd conservation. His new address is Hugh Moore Fund, 60 East 42nd Street, New York, New York, 10017, phone number 986-6469.

The Stew Ogilvys '36 at Homecoming game with Wesleyan. Larry Sinclair nicely settled in Honolulu, Hawaii. Now a grandparent, his first daughter giving birth to a son. He visited recently with Hank Littell's son, Reid, and daughter-in-Jaw. The 1970 Reunion will be September 25, 26, and 27. At that time the Classes of 1935 and 1936 are scheduled to reune together. The alumni executive committee and national officers voted on this date rather than selecting commencement weekend which coincides with Memorial Day weekend, or returning to an empty campus the following week end. Our deepest sympathy goes to the family of Dr. Phil Spelman who died October 13 in Plymouth , Mass. - (see "In Memory") Sherwood Raymond has been appointed director of development of the Norwalk, Conn., hospital. He joined the hospital's staff in March, 1968, as associate director of development, and prior to th at had been executive director of the United Funds of Norwalk, Wilton, Westport and Weston , Conn. He lives in Wilton.
Dr. Jacob Hurewitz addressed the Hartford Chapter of Hadassah, September 16, on "The Arab-Israel Dispute- The Latest Thing." He has been teaching at Columbia University since 1950.

Like so many these days, the Grecos are full of news about their children: son, Barry, is a captain in the Air Force stationed on Okinawa, while daughter Susan, who just graduated from the University of Virginia, is now in training with the Red Cross for eventual duty in the Far East. Says Joe, ''I'm proud of the fact that these kids, who like so many more than we realize, are old-fashioned enough to serve their country willingly." AI Haskell has now entered public service as the business manager for the Health Department, City of Cincinnati. AI writes that he is looking forward to the next class reunion and hopes to see everyone then. Bill Hull goes square dancing every Thursday night and even when it conflicts with important meetings of regional school board members on topics like "Drugs, Alcohol, Discipline." Needless to say, Bill is still a dedicated member of the Newington Board of Education even if he does avoid certain topics. Bill reports he is still spending his summers at Guilford and has taken up sunfish racing. For the uninitiated, it is very small sailboat racing to which Your Secretary is also a devotee. Bart Wilson launched his daughter Sally in marriage late in October. Bart says father held up reasonably well and that among the distinguished guests was Bill Haight. Your secretary's daughter, Betsy, a junior in Hartwick College, is spending the year at the Unive rsity of Mexico, Mexico City, and enjoying every minute of it. Changes of address: Cmdr. Melvin R.

Some five years ago, Robert F. Altmaier, nephew of the late 1st Lt. Charles H. Le Fevre, wondered why his uncle's name had not been placed among the 13,000 Delaware and New Jersey hon-
ored dead at the Delaware Memorial Bridge Plaza. Charles Le Fevre, a native of Philadelphia, moved to Seaford, Del., to work for the Du Pont Co. after graduating from Trinity. He enlisted in Wilmington, January 12, 1942, and commanded a B17F flying out of Kimbolton, England, as part of the 525th Bomb Squadron. On his last mission to Bremen on November 29, 1943, his plane was shot down off the coast of Holland and he was buried in grave 329 in Helio Cemetery. Later, Lt. Le Fevre's remains were removed to Margraten, the only American cemetery in the Netherlands, and Allmaier found a picture of the headstone's inscription which read : -Charles H. Le Fevre ... Delaware Nov. 29, 1943. Then Altmaier learned that his uncle had enlisted as an aviation cadet, but when he became an officer his serial number was changed and he gave his mother's address in Drexel Hill , Pa. , as next of kin. But the Army uses the address at time of first enlistment to record a veteran's state status. The Delaware Bridge authorities verified all the. facts, and last May 14, Lt. Charles H. Le Fevre's name was added.

The host and hostess for this year's Cape Cod Luncheon, on August 18, were Jock a nd Edie Kiley. The luncheon was cheduled for the Kiley Cottage a t Osterville, but the large turnout dictated a transfer to the Wiano Yacht Club. If there had been a prize for the class with the best attend ance it would have been won by 1941 , which had five representatives present. Our genial host had just returned from cruising in his ketch off the southwest coast of Ireland, surely as good a way as a ny to kill time during the summer. The Kileys were full of praise for the beauties of the Emerald Isle. I had thought th at Jack Ewing might have been able to give me news of his appointment to a federal post, now that Republicanism is ruling in Washington. But, a contemporary Cincinnatus, he is returning to the New Jersey General Assem bl y. After nine years of teaching at Ohio State University, AI Randall decided in favor of the private practice of medicine,
29
and moved to Centerville, on Cape Cod. The climate is congenial enough, since they only had two inches of snow last winter while nearby Boston was trying to cope with two feet. But Gloria Randall seemed to feel that the warmth of the climate hadn't penetrated the hearts of some of the Cape Codders. Joe Russo couldn't make the luncheon, but he was represented by his wife, Rosemary, and his father and mother, always the most loyal of Trinity supporters. Joe and Rosemary are house-hunting, since their home in Bloomfield is being absorbed into the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company complex. We had our usual good luck with the weather, and the luncheon was a huge success. Honored guests were President Lockwood and President Emeritus Jacobs, the latter being heard to complain about the unexpected popularity of Chappaquiddick Island as a tourist attraction. Bert Rolland, a usual fixture at the luncheon, was still in the hospital recovering from the serious injuries suffered in his automobile accident. But we were glad to hear that he is embarking on convalescence with his usual courage and cheerfulness. Don Day has been promoted to director, work measurement, in the Comptroller's Department of the ..拢tna Life and Casualty Company. Ray Thomsen was confined to the hospital this summer with a recurrence of ulcers (possibly dating back to the term he served as Class Agent). But at last reports he was his usual healthy and cheery self.

After eight years of faithful service, Chuck Hazen has asked to be relieved of the duty as class secretary. When John Mason, alumni secretary, asked me if I would be willing to take over, I realized that it was about time for me to take a more active pa rt in 1946's activities. As our 25th reunion approaches, I hope that more of 1946 will feel the same way. Keep those cards and letters coming. I need your help. Dr. Tom Walker is medical officer of the 1st Litchfield, Conn., Artillery Company, a fun organization which actually competes on target ranges with its ancient cannon.

Merritt Johnquest has been promoted to vice president/creative director at the Cleveland advertising agency of Fuller & Smith & Ross. He also heads up the company's radio and television department. I watched the Trinity-Williams game at Williamstown earlier this year while my oldest son, Paul , who entered the freshman class at Williams this year, cheered from the opposite side of the field. Needless to say, he was more pleased than I was about the outcome of the game. I also have seen the Colby and R.P.I. games. The Trinity offense is exciting to
watch and it is unfortunate that the defense does not perform at the same level. The female cheerleaders, however, do add some zest to the proceedings. Please send in some inform atio n about yourselves. This column is becoming an exercise in creative writing and taxing my imagination .

I am please to report that the campus is surviving during a period of rapid and important changes. We have a new curriculum, an enlarged student body- nearly 1400 now - and, yes, women! We have some 140 coeds this year. As a matter of fact, I think we are doing better than mere survival, and as an "insider" I can say that the campus is full of life and more exciting than ever. Don't miss any opportunity you may have to visit and catch up on the latest changes at old Trin.

After seven years of silence, we have recently heard from Alan Lippitt. After graduation in 1963, Alan attended the Faculte de Medecine at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. Eventually he transferred to New York Medical College where he received his M.D. Currently he is training as an orthopedic surgeon at the Hospital for Joint Diseases. Alan is married to the former Ellen Wesser of West Hartford and they have a new little girl, Karen Jean. Another of our medical men, Brian Odium, who has just finished his military service as a dentist at Munson Army
Hospital in Kansas, has settled down in West Hartford, where he will be joining his father in the gene ral practice of dentistry at 7 South Main Street. Another of our doctors, Ed Flynn, recently completed a record-setting two weeks existence in a chamber which simulates the pressure of living 600 feet below water as a part of a joint U .S. Navy/ Duke University experiment. In the pressure chamber with Ed, who is a naval lieutenant, were four navy divers. The experiment was intended to determine the amount of work such divers could be expected to perform at the 600-foot depth. Kim Waterhouse, our 1959-1960 ROTC cadet-of-the-year, has apparently opted for an air force career and is doing very well. After a tour as a navigator in Southeast Asia where he was awarded six Air Medals for reconnaissance flights over enemy territory, he spent the last year at pilot school in Amarillo, Texas. While at pilot school he was head of his section and, at graduation, received an additional award for his outstanding performance . Kim is presently at Altus AFB in Oklahoma learning to fly the L-147, which he will be flying out of McGuire AFB in New Jersey after January 20. It will be great fun to welcome Kim back to the east. Congratulations are in order for Kim Dickson who was recently appointed actuary at Connecticut Mutual where he bas been since graduation. Kim has been a fellow of the Society of Actuaries since 1967. Another major promotion was Hunter Marvel who has just been named business manager of Ladies Home Journal. Another of our number, Gary Knisely, is also making significant career progress in the publishing field. Gary has recently been transferred to Chicago by Time, Inc. and appointed regional sales manager for Life International. Wandering minstrel, Ed Trickett, has resurfaced in the east once again. He is now in New Haven where he is an assistant professor of psychology at Yale. Another classmate who seems to have been out of touch for some time is Tim MacGrandle, who is now living at 108 Park Avenue in Maywood, N.J., with his wife, Patricia, three year old son, David, and a new daughter, Karen Lee who was born on September 2. Tim is presently laboratory manager of the Girder Chemical Division of U.S.M. Corporation. I understand that John Lamphear, who, as you recall, is doing doctoral work in African Studies at the University of London, has been awarded a $10,000 Ford Foundation grant for the field research for his thesis. However, because of the variances of international politics he has had some difficulty in securing the necessary visas. Thanks to a Paper Industry Convention junket several of us were able to spend a little time with Mike Leinbach when he was in New York last month. Inspired by the news in the last Alumni Maga zine of Bill Howland's success in New Jersey Republican politics, Mike Masius was kind enough to drop me a note summarizing some of his recent activity. After graduation from New York Law School about one and a half years ago, he joined the City's Housing and Development Administration. For some time he has been politically active, working on and directing various campaigns including a portion of Senator Kennedy's ill-
Marine Captain Thomas D. Reese Jr., '61, received the Alumni Association's "Achievement in Life Award" at the Homecoming lunch eon, November 15. Wounded in Vietnam and a holder of the Silver Star medal, Reese is the sixth alumnus to receive the Association's award, presented to a winner of the varsity "T" who has distinguished himself in life since leaving the campus. He was commissioned by the U.S. Marines following graduation . On September 6, 1967, he commanded Company B, First Battalion, Fifth Marine Regiment which was engaged in battle in Vietnam. During the fight, platoons of his company became separated. He maneuvered through enemy fire to defend his company and establish a defensive perimeter. While removing a Marine from enemy fire he was seriously wounded. H e moved the Marine to safety and returned to his forward position until his condition forced his own evacuation. At the time he was wounded Reese had five days remaining in his tour of Vietnam. His appearance at the College was only a brief reprieve from continued surgery at Bethesda Naval Hospital. He has been hospitalized for the most part since being wounded. Major R eese (left) is shown with John L. Bonee '43, president of the National Alumni Association, and Mrs . Reese who holds the award.
fated presidential bid. Mike is a V.P. of the Lexington Avenue Democratic Club, which by the way supported Lindsey in the recent election. Mike is also a county committeeman from his assembly district and was a delegate to the 1969 New York County Judicial Convention. As for the future, if present pl ans materialize, some of us may have an opportunity to vote for Mike for the New York State Legislature in 1970. Best of luck, Mike. Just to show that his life is n!)t I 00% politics, he has found time to become engaged to Kathryn Kohn, a lovely girl from West Hartford a nd Smith '68. Chad Minifie, his wife Liz, and their new daughter have recently moved from New York to Portland, Oregon, where Chad is the senior assistant minister at Trinity Episcopal Church. Another Minister on the move is Mike Schulenberg who, after ordination in June in Red Wing, Minnesota, has taken a position as assistant minister of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Flint, Michigan. According to Mike he "loves it." Mike also reports that they have a spare bedroom in their house ( 4110 Sterling Street) and would welcome a visit from any of us. From Flint that's probably a pretty safe offer. Thanks anyway, Mike. Hope some day to be able to take you up on your hospitality. Tom Berger writes he enjoys teaching and research in mathematics at the U. of Minnesota. Tom lives at 10670 Holly-
wood Blvd., Coon Rapids, Minn. 55433. Bob Dickson has been promoted to actuary for Connecticut Mutual Life. A. Haemmerli hopes to earn his Ph.D. by this June from Fletcher at Tufts.

Co. Dr. John Ogden won a $500 first prize for some special research he did on "a-bunch-of-medical-terms" for the Heart Association. Which brings us to Dr. Tim路 othy H. Crawford who, after six years in medical school and untold thousands of dollars, has decided to become a movie critic when his hitch is up in the navy. CPT Danny Stramiello was awarded the Bronze Star for action in Southeast Asia. Gary McQuaid continues to demonstrate the astute judgment and creative insight that made him brand manager for Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in approving our recently completed commercial for his product. The same might be said for Malcolm Barlow, '60, on the recent Contac commercial. Carl Sommer is leaving the air force to join Hughes Aircraft Co. in Fullerton, California. Peter Kingler is a legislative assistant to Congressman Ashley of Ohio. Bruce Pavlech is similarly involved as he faces up to modern urban problems from his home in the Philadelphia suburbs.
