It's the New Place on Campus to Hang O ut, Read, and Be Read To

The Gallows Hill Bookstore Opens

SOME OF THE PEOPLE who worked to establish Gallows Hill Bookstore gather at the store. From left to right are Professor ofEconomics Diane Zannoni, Dean of Students David Winer, Director of Mather Hall Anne Gushee and Assistant Professor of Theater Arthur Feinsod. Others included Associate Academic DeanJ. Ronald Spencer '64, Business Manager and Budget Director Alan Sauer, Director of Facilities Planning and Managementjohn Woolley, Julienne Coe '92, and jonathan Trevisan ' 93. BY MARTHA DAVIDSON

ust a few weeks after the Gallows Hill Bookstore first opened its doors for business in September, it was well on the way to becoming a popular campus hang-out. Located in a 4,000-square-foot area at the front of the Hall den building, Gallows Hill Bookstore bears little resemblance to its former use as the campus computing lab . Now, instead of undergraduates working at computer

terminals, one might find a couple of students sitting crosslegged on the floor perusing magazines or a faculty member stopping in to check the "N ew and Noteworthy" section . Scanning the many attractively arranged bookshelves, one might spot Associate Professor of English Hugh Ogden's new book of poetry, Looki11g for History; Assistant Professor of History Cheryl Greenberg's Or Does It Explode? Black Harlem in the Great Depression; the late choreographer Martha

Graham's autobiography Blood Memory; Peter W. Huber's Galileo's Revenge:]unk Science in the Courtroom; or a children's book by William Joyce, A Day with Wilbur R obinson. Rich in the classic works ofliterature, university press titles and serious trade books, the store managed by Bames & Noble, Inc. carries up to 15 ,000 titles and aims to attract serious readers from the Hartford area. Open weekdays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on weekends from 12 noon to 5 p.m., the store a!-

ready has received traffic from visitors coming on campus for events and exhibitions at the Austin Arts Center or to see movies at Cinestudio. In addition, Gallows Hill has hosted book signings for visiting and campus authors, receptions for various campus groups and story-telling sessions for children from the nearby Trinity College Community Child Center, Inc. President Tom Gerety said the new Gallows Hill Bookstore will enliven not only the Trinity campus but the city as well. "We are committed to making sure that this new venture succeeds and that it becomes an asset to the College, to our immediate neighborhood and to Hartford," Gerety said. "Every day, they're getting faculty, administrators and staff members, people off the street- and more students than anyone. It's a wonderful place to be, to talk about books while browsing," said Anne Gushee, director of Mather Hall, special events and calendar, who chairs an ad hoc bookstore committee. ''I'm thrilled with the progress we've made and our wonderful collection. There's a lot of contagiousness in the enthusiasm about the new bookstore," added Gushee, whose mother, Elizabeth Pratt Meier, gave a 19th-century French Regency cabinet to the College for a display case in the bookstore. The store's overall design provides a pleasant backdrop for the main attraction - the books in oak cases - and invites contemplative browsing. The walls are mainly brick, accented by subtle wallpaper. Big leather armchairs flank display tables; a cushioned loveseat is in one corner. Swag curtains in a muted print of green, pink and gold soften the borders of the long expanse of windows. A grandfather clock stands in the lobby and the enormous glassfronted cabinet displaying featured books fills up one niche . Artwork , including a semi- abstract oil painting of a camel driver rendered by the late Beatrice Irene Gal, hangs on the walls. Gal was the mother of Larry Gal, who is the general manager of both Gallows Hill Bookstore and the textbook store (previously managed by Follett College Store Corp.) in Mather Hall. The children's room has a low table and tot-sized chairs, puffY beanbag seats

in pink and green, stuffed animals on the windowsill and a Winnie-the-Pooh poster. An eclectic assortment of music, usually recorded but sometimes live, enhances the ambience. A few examples: the Beatles' Revolver album; spooky music from classic movies and television shows for Halloween; and Assistant Professor of Music Douglas Johnson playing the harpsichord at a late afternoon reception. "It's a very attractive bookstore. The presentation is very enticing; you want to handle the books - which is what you're supposed to do in a bookstore," said Milli Silvestri, director of the Trinity College Poetry Center. Silvestri also praised the staff's efficiency in arranging book signings for authors. Associate Academic Dean J. Ronald Spencer '64, another bookstore committee member, commented in October that he'd been spending a "good share of his weekly allowance" at the Gallows Hill Bookstore. "They're not up to the full number of titles that they anticipate having, but it looks like a very promising beginning. I've been enormously im-

pressed thus far," Spencer said, noting that he'd encountered several alumni who seemed delighted with this addition to the College's facilities . In October, the bookstore was still in the forn1ative stage; the staff was adding new titles and considering the many suggestions for additions and changes offered by interested patrons. "Four to five months from opening is when we'll have the look of the store we want," said store manager David Givens, who previously was the trade department manager at Johns Hopkins University's bookstore. Overall, Givens said, the campus and general public have been supportive. "The most common reaction I get is 'Hartford really needs a bookstore like this.' We've been doing much better in revenues than we'd anticipated," he said. "We're getting very good support from the students. They browse longer before they buy - but they do buy." At least one faculty member has put the bookstore's special order service to the test. When a special project came up unexpectedly, Associate Professor of Modern Languages Andrea Bianchini needed to get her hands quickly on a number ofbooks to do

research about Christopher Columbus. She turned to the Gallows Hill Bookstore staff for help. "They were really very kind and willing to collaborate and to go to the extra effort," she said later. Because some of the books Bianchini sought had just been published, the bookstore staffhad to make special arrangements to get the books airn1ailed directly from the various publishers. Within 24 hours, the first part of her order had arrived. Within 48 hours, she was able to pick up the rest. And, when she's not in a hurry, Bianchini finds that the shop is a "very nice place to browse." Professor of Economics Diane Zannoni is a member of the bookstore committee as well as the faculty representative to the bookstore and a fun of bookstores in general. She too expressed appreciation for the responsiveness and creativity demonstrated by the Gallows Hill staff. "We don't have many places on campus where faculty can meet in a leisurely way. There, you wind up talking about books with people you don't ordinarily see," Zannoni added. " It's fun because I've talked to students about selecting books - and they've given me ideas." Two years ago, Assistant Professor of Theater and Dance Arthur Feinsod described himself in a letter to President Gerety as "an inveterate bookstore mole who has been frustrated in Hartford after having lived or studied in Berkeley, Cambridge and Greenwich Village from 1969 to when I came here." Shortly thereafter, he was among a group who had a discussion with the President about the bookstore situation that eventually led to the new arrangement with Barnes & Noble, Inc. Feinsod said recently that he hopes the new bookstore will be "an intellectual and arristic magnet for the community." He also hopes that the store will be able to grow and add sections for classic videos and high quality used books, and to serve as a setting for play readings or jazz music. When Laura Ingrassia '95, a freshman from Brooklyn, N.Y., heard that the bookstore was asking for volunteers to read stories to children who attend

ALON(; THE \X'Al.K

Strollers parked outside the door are a sure sign that it's storytelling time inside the shop.

4 the Trinity College Community Child Center, Inc., she responded immediately. "It seemed interesting. I've always worked with kids and I missed that," Ingrassia said. One afternoon, she spent about a half hour reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar and other books to a dozen three-to-five-year-olds. "They were really fun," she said. Robert Palter, who is Charles A. Dana Professor of History of Science emeritus, is fond of dropping in at the bookstore to check out the latest books and periodicals. He, too, did a stint as storyteller there. When the teacher brought in five two-year-olds looking a bit sleepy because they'd just awakened from their nap, Palter admits he was a mite concerned about how the children would take to his efforts. " I needn't have worried. They were totally riveted. That's what I loved," said Palter, who read, among other tales, one of theÂˇ children's favorites, Where the Wild Things Are. Helene Figueroa, the Center's director, said the staff and children also enjoy the story-telling arrangement. "It was really nice to have someone new read the stories. It captures the children's attention," she said. "The bookstore staff and

readers have made it a cozy experience." Both the bookstore staff and Hobart Professor of Classics John C. Williams were pleased at the outcome of a reception held at the store for the Classical Association of Connecticut. The Association held a symposium on campus for 120 high school teachers ofLatin, art history and social studies in late September. At Gushee's suggestion, Williams invited participants to have refreshments afterwards at Gallows Hill Bookstore. So many people attended and bought books that the classics section was practically sold out, Williams said. o

New Admissions Program Eases Move to College

â&#x20AC;˘ The Office of Admissions has launched Horizons - a series of free college information workshops for local students, parents, guidance counselors and others involved in education. "Horizons is designed to teach people about the college process in general," explained Karen L. Mapp, associate director of admissions, who is coordinating

the year-long program with Sara R. Lawson, assistant director of admissions. "Though Horizons will be held on the Trinity campus, the program involves people from a variety of other educational institutions. By inviting students to campus, we hope they'll feel more at ease about the college environment," Mapp said. "We want to increase the number of Hartford youngsters who will consider going to college. Through Horizons, we hope to show the range of options available in higher education and demonstrate the long-term importance of education in people's lives," she said. The first workshop in September featured a guest speaker from The College Board and attracted a crowd of interested high school guidance counselors, she reported. At November's workshop, the focus will be on making the transition from high school to college. Current undergraduates from Hartford and admissions representatives from different local colleges will talk about ways that high school students can prepare for the college experience. This program will be offered for junior and senior high school students and their parents in English, with Spanish translation available. The following month, financial aid officers from local colleges and universities are slated to give an in-depth financial aid workshop. This program also will be aimed at students who are juniors and seniors in high school and their parents. At a spring workshop, the emphasis will be on strategies that parents can use while their children are in middle school and high school to increase their post-high school options. To wrap up the series in May, individuals working in area agencies' educational programs will be invited to meet with members of the Trinity College faculty, admissions staff and community relations department to discuss the past, present and future relationship between the College and the agency programs. Joseph Constantine, coordinator of guidance and dropout prevention for Hartford Public Schools, said the guidance counselors and special program counselors who attended the first workshop in September enjoyed it. "It was just a very well done program. The counselors were talking about it for a number of days afterwards,"Constantine said. o

Volunteer Leaders Honored, and Educated, in Campus Conference from around the counA lumni try participated in the 1991

Volunteer Leadership Conference on campus September 13- 14. Sponsored by the alumni and development offices in co..Uunction with the National Alumni Association Executive Committee, the conference served to update alumni volunteers on campus issues and concerns and provided workshops designed to help alumni become more effective in their work for Trinity. A highlight of the weekend was the "Hall of Fame" dinner, when President Tom Gerety presented awards to alumni for their outstanding work in area clubs, admissions and fund raising. Two volunteer leaders - David A. Raymond '63, president of the NAA, and Scott W. Reynolds '63, chairman of the annual fund were thanked for their service as their terms ended in September. They have been succeeded by Robert E. Kehoe '69 and Charles H. McGill '63, respectively.

Athletics Facilities Get a Face-lift •••••••••• •••••

Trinity's current ambitious project to improve the College athletic facilities, including the addition of state-of-the-art squash courts, a new pool, outdoor track, and a hardwood basketball floor, is scheduled to be completed by the start of the new year, according to Athletic Director Richard Hazelton. The o utdoor track was finished last October, allowing Trinity's track team to compete on a six-lane, all-weather, 400-mcter track. The track widens to eigh t lanes in th e straight- aways; some additional features include a steeplechase pit, pole-vault and longjump runways, and a special field event surface located behind the end zone closest to the game clock. In addition to benefitting members of the track team, the improved track provides students, facu lty, and alumni an alternative to running on sidewalks and roads. In Unit A of Ferris Athletic Center the composition rubber surface has been pulled up and replaced with the new hardwood court for the 19911992 basketball season . Trinity's brand new squash complex, finished this past sunm1er, showcases seven intercollegiate and three international courts. Trinity now has 16 courts in all and offers one of the top facilities in the country. The courts' back walls arc made of durable glass, and there is a pyramid structured seating area at center court for 200 spectators. The courts were initiated in Oc-

T he new courts are built on the second level of Ferris Athletic Center above the courtyard . The courtyard lying below the squash courts is the new home of Coach Chet McPhee's swimmjng teams. The eightlane, 37-m eter pool with a movable bulkhead will be equipped with an automatic tinung system and two diving boards, a one-meter and a three-meter board, with a diving depth of 14 feet, six inches. Construction on the pool is scheduled to be completed in early January in time for the Bantams' trurd home meet against Wesleyan on January 21 . The work in Ferris Athletic Center comes nearly two years after the construction of a new weight room, trajning room, women's locker room, and two crew tanks, all aimed at placing Trinity's facilities on a par with other

coll eges in the New England Small College Athletic Conference. o

Annual Fund Seeks To Raise $2.3 Million

•••••••••••••••••• With a new volunteer committee in place and donor participation at an alltime high, the leaders of the Annual Fund have set out to raise $2.3 million from 8,400 donors by June 30, 1992. To meet this challenge, the four components of the annual fund have set the following goals: Alunmi Fund, $1.8 million from 7,300 donors; Parents' Fund , $225,000 from 875 donors; Friends' Fund, $40,000 from 150 donors; Corporations and Foundations, $235,000 from 75 donors. "Last year o ur volunteers did a great job of increasing participation in annual support," said Constance C. French, director of annual giving. "To reach our goals this year, we will not only need to raise the number of donors, but also we must increase the number of gifts at the leadership leveL"

Over the past sunm1er, a new volunteer committee was fonned to help formulate and implement Annual Fund strategy, and to assist in soliciting leadership gifts. C hairs of the va rious arms of the Annual Fund include: Robert E. Brickley '67, Annual Fund; Charles H. McGill Ill '63, A lumni Fund; Carol Cimilluca, Parents' Fund; Thomas Lips, Friwds ' Fund; Phillip T. Davidson '48, Corporation & Fo11ndation; and Jeffrey H. Seibert '79, National Alumni Phonathon . To assist McGill with the Alumni Fund, w hich is the largest component of annual giving, a number of volunteers have been named to chair the following groups: Gladys Macdonough M'81, Master's; Nina Diefenbach '80, 80s, '90s and IDP; Peter Lawrence '71, '70s; Paul Lazay '61, '60s; David Edwards '51, '50s; and Mike Bassford '39, Half Century Cl11b. A Chair for the '40s is still to be named. The fall campaign is well underway. Student callers spent a week calling non-reunion classes of the 1980s in

October and raised over $30,000. Also, several alumni phonathons have been conducted throughout the fall , highlighted by C lub Challenges between alumni callers in various cities. Current competitions include: Baltimore vs. Washington, D.C.; Boston vs. Philadelphia; New York vs. Chicago vs. Hartford; and San Francisco vs. Los Angeles vs. San Diego. Results of th ese contests will be announced in the next R eporter. Alumni Fund Chairman Charles McGill '63 will host the Trustee Leadership Phonathon at Dun & Bradsteet in N ovember. Participants, who include trustees and leadership donors, will be calling alumni and parents for gifts of $1,000 and up. French expressed optimism about meeting this year's goals. "With our new organization in place and a high level of enthusiasm at every level, I am confident that we will continue our record-breaking pace of previous years," she said. o

"MARK TWAIN'S Hartford Connections," the inaugural exhibition of the Mark Twain Memorial Program at Trinity CoUege, is on display at the Watkinson Library through Friday,Jan. 31. The show focuses on three themes in Mark Twain's life as it related to Hartford: his home circle, business ventures and literary interests.

Strategic Planning Process

Supporu Teaching at Trinity Bv

R o tl ERTA j ENCKES

A lively engagement between professors and students characterizes a Trinity education. Here, Dr. Judith Moran of mathematics meets with students before an exam to go over problems.

Trinity has a commitment to ideal teaching: as conversation between teacher and student. This devotion to teaching in the traditional, classical way makes Trinity a part of a small family of schools that are now more distinctive than 100 years ago, because most colleges and universities today cannot sustain this ideal in teaching. Their focus is on research and graduate programs, not on undergraduate teaching.

his is one major conclusion of the first phase of the Strategic Plannjng process, the College's current rigorous self- examination. The recognition of the central place of teaching and learning at Trinity, and the suggestion of innovative approaches to strengthen that mission, are key accomplishments of the process to date, according to President Tom Gerety. "For me there is tremendous continuity in the conclusions of this report. Trinity's aspiration for a w holeness in the educational experience, the institution's devotion to teaching and learning and to the integration of research into teaching are all discussed here. " I believe our traditions are very good: our liberal arts tradition, our commitment to teaching, our sense of balance in the mix of traditionalism and innovation. They're workable; they fit; and they're good traditions, that will help us prosper over the long run," he said. The strategic planning study, begun

last February at the request of the board of trustees, aims to address major decisions such as these facing Trinity today and into the 21st century. The questions being addressed go to the heart路 of institutional affairs: How can Trinity position itself in the next several years to meet the challenges ahead? What are the College's strengths and how can they be enhanced? and, What are the weaknesses and how can they be overcome? To begin to deal with these questions, the 26-member steering committee offaculty, administrators and students drafted a mission statement for the College and identified five key areas of life at Trinity that had to be examined. Subcommittees were appointed to study these areas: teachjng, social environment, residential and non-academic life, perceptions of Trinity, and urban location. Working throughout the spring semester, the subcommittees drafted their conclusions in reports which are now being reviewed by the board of trustees, standing committees of the

faculty, employee representatives on campus, and student organizations. Each of those groups has been given a specific set of questions to consider in reading the reports before submitting its responses 'to the steering committee. The Board will hold a special threeday retreat this month to discuss the reports and their conclusions. ''I'm very pleased with the Strategic Planning efforts to date," President Gerety said. "We have engage路i:l the entire campus in the process - faculty, students, staff and administration. Together we have generated some excellent ideas. "One theme that has emerged from all of the deliberations so far is the need to reconceive the role of the student in College life. The importance of students' gaining a sense of responsibility for themselves and growing in maturity during their years at Trinity is stated throughout this report. We've seen that notion of progression obtain in the curriculum: The student comes in with a very broad range of interests, begins to narrow them and becomes more expert, so that by senior year he or she may be working in collaboration with a professor on research, for example. "We are a residential college, a concept that incorporates an aspiration that education be quite whole. That growth that we see on the intellectual side must have a complement on the social side in the acceptance of the obligations and challenges, along with the enjoyments, of social and residential life. Students must grow in responsibility for their own affairs and come to see the creativity, the joys and the discipline that come with extracurricular activities and with making choices. These are highly important goals of the collegiate experience. "Also emerging is the theme of restoring to Mather Hall a sense of centrality in students' lives, and in particular trying to pull the social center of the campus away from Vernon Street and back to Mather. Last spring, activist members of the student body and student government asked for that, and we tried to arrange for more student office space in Mather in response. We're looking at events' scheduling to make sure that student concerns come first. We've certainly been trying to make this a livelier village: the new Gallows Hill Bookstore and Jeffry

Walker's tremendous efforts in the Austin Arts Center have brought more vitality and urbanity to the campus, which is always an ideal. "Our resources are strong- the library is one example. The College is an efficient, well-run organization. Precisely because it is a very well-run place, our choices are not radical and dramatic ones. " I have said that this may be the most important task I will undertake as president, in terms of the choices that we will have to make, and the consequences those decisions will have for many years. Now, nine months into this study, I feel even more convinced that planning is an ongoing process." Karen E. Osborne, vice president for college advancement and steering committee member, agreed. "We did a fine job during the first phase of Strategic Planning," she said. "Many, many great ideas emerged from the subcommittees' work on teaching, on the city, on the College's image, on the social and residential life. But, we realized as we worked on it this summer that we really need to do another year of planning. "First, we need to engage more of the Trinity community in the discussion. Because so much of the planning effort took place in May, June and July, there was not enough input from the faculty governance committees. The steering committee has posed specific questions for them to consider this year, tied directly to their jurisdiction in governance. Second is the issue of fraternity and sorority life that the trustees are examining. It doesn't make sense to design a residential and social plan for the next ten years without waiting for the outcome of the trustees' study. Finally, we saw the need to do longrange fiscal projections, based on our capacity to raise money, our capacity to make money on the endowment, and the projections for admissions . A realistic, comprehensive Strategic Plan is not going to be complete without those projections. Before the reports could go any further, these three key steps had to be taken," she said. Results are already being seen from the work of the subcommittees, however. Although many of their proposals involve long-term efforts and had budgetary implications, some were clearly achievable in the next academic year

or two, according to President Gerety. Those being implemented in this academic year or the next include many related to teaching and learning goals. First, the faculty's Curriculum Committee and department chairs have been asked by Dean Cohn to study the proper roles and functions of undergraduate teaching assistants within the context ofTrinity's educational goals. The Committee and Chairs will recommend effective training procedures for teaching asssistants, with a goal of launching an experimental program in 1992-93. "Grass roots" faculty workshops on pedagogy will continue to be encouraged. The orientation program for new faculty, launched two years ago, will continue to be supported by Dean Cohn's office. Trinity's expectations of students were noted as key in teaching and learning. To improve the intellectual climate on campus by increasing those expectations and setting uniforn1 standards, the faculty Academic Affairs Com.nuttee is reviewing honor codes at other institutions, in order to formulate and perhaps implement a code of acadenuc conduct for Trinity students. Such a code would reflect the belief that academic honesty and integrity are essential to excellence in teaching and learning. Faculty department chairs and the Faculty Conference have been asked to

exanune and make reconm1endations concerning the effectiveness of Trinity's grading system and classroom requirements in tern1s of rigor and of students' responsibility for their own learning. The use of the College Library for teaching and learning is also being studied. Dean Cohn and Librarian Stephen Peterson will begin a process of determining what additional resources, if any, are needed for acquisitions and space. Also in this academic year, new technologies for enhancing classroom teaching will be examined and discussed. Recommendations will be made by Peterson, Cohn, and the Director of the Computing Center, John Langeland. Three key proposals, put forward in the Strategic Planning process, will be implemented this year to help improve student social life on campus. A study will be undertaken of space allocation in Mather Hall, wirn a concerted effort being made to provide greater use of tl1e space for students. Secondly, Dean of Students David Winer will be working with the Student Government Association to review our policies on alcohol and parties on campus. Finally, over me long term, the College will provide more space for the arts, so that offerings by the an departments and Arts Center will heighten the intellectual life at Trinity through their many educationally imbued social activities.

"Some of these ideas come right out of Strategic Planning," said Dean of the Faculty Jan Cohn, "some were already underway, and some were at the fringe of underway. The faculty's Educational Planning Committee, for example, has always been aware of the need to do more longrange planning on staffing, on where we might add faculty if we grew, on the competition for resources between standard departments and innovative programs, and, even tougher, how you balance these different claims if there is no growth. But, the EPC is typically overwhelmed with regular business. Last spring the EPC's chairman sent a questionnaire to all faculty, asking just these questions. So, that happens to fit perfectly into the Strategic Planning committee's request for responses from a faculty conmuttee on the larger scale questions of what kind of academic configuration we imagine for ourselves, five or ten years from now. "In this office questions of guidelines for teaching assistants, improvements to the freshman year experience, and finding ways to continue encouraging innovative faculty workshops have been in the air for some time. These are really fine examples of individuals' brainstornung about what Trinity might do to be better, while at the same time another group of faculty, adnunistrators and students focused on strategic planning has crafted a set of decision- making criteria that fall into the same areas. As a result, it's hard to identify decisively the single source of any particular idea. I find that very encouraging. It means that these ideas pem1eate the COn1111Unity." The final reports of the Strategic Planning subcommittees are expected to be completed at the end of the 1991-92 acadenuc year, with implementation proceeeding according to target dates outlined in the Plan. â&#x20AC;˘

This highly readable book chronicles th e collapse in 1985 of th e International Tin Council - at 900 million British pounds (nearly $2 billion), one of the biggest ever commercial defaults. Six years later, few know what happened as a result of this collapse and the five years oflegal proceedings and negotiations wlllch led to a settlement in 1990. N ow, author Kestenbaum, the representative of th e creditor companies in th e negotiations with the IT C, tells his story. Through TI1e Tin Men th e reader learns how an original idea for an intergovernmental commodity price stabilization plan turned into a ni ghtmare and finally a disaster. But, have the lessons of the tin crisis been learned, asks Kestenbaum. Even today, he notes, attempts are being made to fru strate a most basic principle of economics- the law of supply and demand. He points to two other areas of impending crisis- the Common Agricultural Policy of the EEC and the savings and loan banking failures in the U .S. Many parallels exist between these present- day supporr schemes and the workings of the Tin Coun cil. The book, th erefo re, has a very relevant message for economists, bankers, conunodity traders, lawyers, governments and international agencies. R alph Kestenbaum is president of Gerald Metals, S.A.

Its approach is fresh, its subject matter compellin g, and its level of scholarship high ," writes David M . Bethea of th e Universi ty ofW isconsin-M adison. By the early 1900s, say the writers in this book, new elites resulting fro m Russia's political, social, and economic transformation encountered problems of cultu ral o rientation and political allegiance. In exami ning how these issues we re addressed, the book's essayists trace the relati onship berween social change, and especially th e rise of an urban Russia, and the attempt to fi nd new patterns of social identi ty to defi ne and unite "middling" groups in Russian society. The book's writers try to describe these emergent social classes of educated Russia as th eir members saw them. A clismrbing conclusion from the book for contemporary architects of Soviet society is th e evidence of strong intragroup jealousies, traditi onal loyalties, and geographical and ethnic clifferences that intensifie d in this period. In the sea rch fo r a " usable past" now underway in th e U .S.S.R ., the example of prerevolutionary Russia described here serves as a ca utionary tale.

MOSCOW'S VANISHED BOURGEOISIE The search for a usable past in post-Soviet Russia

he Second Russian Revolution of August 1991, and the disintegrative forces it set in motion for the Soviet Union and the Communist order, have opened the way for independence among the peoples of the periphery and democratization of political life in the Russian heartland. But, deep and serious problems remain. While the political institutions of the totalitarian past collapsed with breathtaking speed after the abortive coup, the economic legacy of the socialist system remains deeply entrenched in Russian life. The nation's new leadership understands that ifRussia's economy is to be revived and brought into conformity with the democratic political culture now taking shape, a rapid and total transformation in the direction of private property and free markets will be necessary. Yet for many Russians this is an alanning prospect, one which conjures images of economic exploitation and foreign domination . In the long run, economic reform may prove to be considerably more difficult and daunting than

political democratization. The extraordinary nature of these changes has awakened among Russians a search for historical precedents. In the topsy-turvy world of post-Marxist, postSoviet Russia, the effort to construct a "usable past" has taken on both significance and urgency. As a nation emerges from the memory-hole that was Soviet historiography, clear knowledge of the Russia that existed before the Bolshevik Revolution has become a much-soughtafter corrunodity. Unfortunately, political history gives Russia's new leadership little guidance on how to construct a democratic order. The political culture of Russia for centuries consisted only of wild oscillations between autocracy and anarchy, with no middle way between these two extremes. It was only in the brief and chaotic period before the First World War that the Russian people were given the opportunity to explore democratic alternatives to absolutism. This period has recently become the object of intense historical scrutiny, and we at Trinity have made a

contribution to this effort. Samuel Kassow and I have recently edited a collaborative volume, entitled Between Tsar and People, which explores the tentative flowering of open and pluralistic institutions in Russia between 1900 and 1914. Precedents for the future are equally sparse in Russian economic history. The economy was long dominated by the power of the autocratic state, and thus the past provides only tantalizing glimpses of the evolution of an indigenous capitalistic culture. It was only in the period of Russia's first democratic experiment that elements of a competitive free-market system began to appear. Along with this fledgling private economy came entrepreneurial personalities who bear a striking resemblance to the American "captains of industry" of the same era. For generations their names were unknown in Russia. But now, after 70 years of suppression and vilification, these first home-grown industrialists have become objects of curiosity as the search for historical roots of Russian capitalism intensifies.

In a society dominated by agrarian institutions, leisured landed elites and socialistically inclined intellectuals, the merchant and manufacturer were excluded from polite society, and relegated to the "dark realm" of the counting house and the workshop. All this began to change in the first years of this century. For one thing, Russian industry had come of age despite all obstacles, and the private wealth it generated nurtured large and highly visible entrepreneurial families like the R.iabushinskys. For another, the autocracy was weakened by the revolution of 1905, and was compelled to undertake Russia's first perestroika: the introduction of quasi-parliamentary institutions, the Stolypin land refonns , which began to transfonn peasants into fa m1ers, and the emancipation of capitalistic industrial development. With a detennination bom of religious persecution and social discrimination, Pavel Riabushinsky entered the turbulent world of revolutionary Russia with the defiant slogan, "the merchant is on the move!" He organized the liberal Progressist Party in 1912, through which he demanded "a place in the sun " for Russia's emergent industrial bourgeoisie. He championed "the ideology of the creators of material value," and asserted that the country could be saved from backwardness and foreign domination only when the "psychology of the bourgeois" became accepted. R.iabushinsky was confident that the age of the "Russian bourgeoisie" was about to dawn, and predicted that the entrepreneur would soon replace the aristocrat, the bureaucrat and the intellectual as the chief architect of a sovereign, free and capitalist "Great Russia." All this, of course, was not to be. As in centuries past, Russian history agai n took its revenge on those who championed the individual over the community, the private over the collective. The Revolution swept away the indusrrialists along wiili the aristocrats, and set

in motion the anti-capitalist socialist experiment just now coming to an end. I went to Moscow in the early summer with the modest intention to clear up some fine points of archival work. But it turned out mat conditions there, and the imperatives that they present for historians, left precious little time for archives and documents. I was greeted by my counterparts at the Institute of History with a translation of my work, and a request that they be pemlitted to publish it in their joumal, History of the USSR . Even more wmerving, my Russian colleagues invited me to appear on television in c01m ection with a series currendy being aired entitled, "A Cycle of Russian Entrepreneurs." Within three days of my arrival I found myself staring into the red

light of a television camera whose potential audience nwnbered over 100 million people. I conveyed as best I could my knowledge ofR.iabushinsky, his efforts to develop private industry, his contribution to Russian national culture, his detemlination to build a strong entrepreneurial class, and his vision of a capitalist "Great Russia. " M y unease before the camera was heightened by the fact mat capitalistic words still sound strange in Russian. But as I struggled with the unfamiliar grammar of this long-unused language, I realized that this subject was considered truly important not merely as historical research, but as part of the contemporary debate over Russia's future. When I was a graduate student in

Downtown Moscow, 1880s, left, and above, a contemporary street scene. It is the recent appearance of many foreign firms in Russia that has fueled interest in the indigenous capitalist culture of the pre-revolutionary past.

Moscow some 20 years ago, I was assigned to the "Department of Capitalism" in the history faculty of Moscow University. I remember being stmck by the ring of historical finality in that tide, as if capitalism were something akin to the Age of the Dinosaurs. Now everything is turned upside down. This time I experienced that same sense of historical mpture as I listened to Russian media commentators speaking disrnissively of "the Period of Communism" in their country's past. What comes after the "Period of Communism," however, still remains an open question. The fate of democracy, free markets and private entrepreneurship in post-Marxist Russia is far from certain. As the country moves unsteadily toward

Even the casual visitor can see in Moscow today the feverish activity of Russia's emergent small-scale entrepreneurs, from the cooperative shops and artists on Arhat Street to the pomograpic booksellers in the metro ("Sex in the Lives of Men," "Sex in China"). With the collapse of the state economy, prices are astronomical and severe shortages loom as never before. In this tense and confused atmosphere, the denizens of the Soviet "second economy" are emerging as d1e new Russian capitalists. They wear Reeboks and blue jeans, and demand premium prices for goods and services otherwise unavailable. Literally everything is for sale (for dollars), and the pace of economic activity sometimes borders on the frenetic . In the basement office of the joint-venture company that handled my visa registration (for a substantial sum in hard currency), I heard the language of Russian capitalism come back to life, shouted into phones on all sides: "Broker!" "Diler!" "Kontrakt!" "lmidzh!" "In vestitsiia!" 路Later, as I listened to friends complain bitterly about rampant profiteering, speculative hoarding and the rise of business mafias, I realized that the cycle of

history had come full circle. Private entrepreneurship in Russia today begins at the beginning; its rules have to be leamed or be invented all over again, and they have to gain acceptance among a hard-pressed populace long accustomed to socialist guarantees against risk and hardship. To their credit, Moscow's businessmen rallied early and decisively to the defense of democracy during the August coup. Understanding the fa te of private enterprise was also o n the line, they participated in the eve nts in small but significant ways. The fledgling Moscow Commodity Excha nge shut down at the first word of the coup , not out of cau tion , but as a warning to the plotters that access to th e private economy could be denied them. The exchange also placed its phones and fax machines at th e disposal of Yeltsin, disseminating his decrees over the entire republic. Moscow businessmen sent trucks with cement and sand to help build barricades at Y eltsin's headquarters. And the most visible symbol of popular resistance, the 300-meter-long white, red and blue Russian republic flag carried through the streets of Moscow by the defiant crowds, was donated by a local entrepreneur. Yet in the longer run, democracy and free markets may prove to be irreconcilable in the new Russia. Given the freedom to choose, the Russian people might well reject capit.Llism as they have so often in the past. With public acceptance of a more open economy still uncertain, the behavior of the entrepreneurs often compounds the problem. What most Russians now confront is a primitive fom1 of small-time private enterprise. The new biz nesmeny have burrowed into every comer of the economy, and they sometimes seem motivated by nothing higher than an acquisitive and predatory, petty-bourgeois ethos. Private shopkeepers charge high prices, but they are often as surly with their customers as the notoriously mde salesgirls in state stores. The attractive models hired to adorn the cars in a spanking new Toyota showroom, draped over cars that only speculators can afford, wear the same bored, jaded look per-

tidal wave of popular resentment against the burzhoi and the world of individualism and private property they represented. In the end, all that creativity and philanthropy did not help the industrialists when the patience of the people ran out. Russian capitalism, even under the leadership of the Riabushinskys and people like them, never gained sufficient style by public acceptance to guarantee its survival in a crisis. Now once again abuses and extravagances characteristic of early capitalism, and popular reaction against them, are everywhere evident. Capitalism may not be the only economic alternative to emerge from under the rubble of socialism. The ultimate balance of forces will depend in large part on the willingness of the present generation to accept the dislocations and inequities which will have to be endured to establish a market economy. If the free-market transformation of Russia is to succeed, extensive importation of foreign methods and models will be unavoidable. But this makes all the more intense the search for indigenous precedents for what is happening now. Can Russia become both capitalistic and free without losing its distinct cultural identity, its much-vaunted "soul"? Old Believer Riabushinsky thought it could, and now after 70 years, people seem anxious to hear what he had to say. History does not repeat itself, but the past can be given new life and new meaning by subsequent events. The lost world of the Moscow bourgeoisie is being resurrected today by people who believe in free institutions and free markets. They see that world not as an antiquarian curiosity, but as a kind of historical template for the future they hope to build in a democratic and free Russia. â&#x20AC;˘

GIBBON'S MASTERPIECE Why students still read The D ecline and Fall if the R oman Empire BY

H. McKIM

n May 6, 1788, his London friends gave Ed ward Gibbon (1737-1794) a birthday party to mark the attainment of his 51st year and also to celebrate the publication on that day of the final volumes of The Decline and Fall cif the Roman Empire. This monumental work, running to more than 2,750 pages in the edition I possess, is probably the greatest his-

STEELE

tory written in the 18th century and, indeed, one of the greatest of any era. Since 1788 the practice of history writing has entered a golden age. Many multi-volume works have appeared, yet none of them has maintained its place with either the general public or the historical profession to the same degree as Gibbon's history. What explains the continued attraction of readers to the

GIBBON'S MASTERPIECE

Decline and Fall? Part of the reason may lie in Gibbon's style, for the work is an undoubted literary masterpiece. Its prose has been characterized as imitating the intonations of ordinary discourse, and Gibbon tells us in his Memoirs that he never committed a paragraph to paper until he had rehearsed it orally. In his composition he took great pains to follow the teachings of the masters of Latin rhetoric: Cicero and Quintillian. His long sentences,(and none of Gibbon's sentences is really short,) are carefully arranged in balanced clauses. A taste for artful parallelism is visible even in his short phrases where words are often grouped in pairs, a doubling that less skillful writers imitate at their peril. Gibbon's habitual result is majestic and smooth flowing. His sentences gather their effects gradually and discharge them just as gradually. The aim sought is an almost Miltonian grandeur. Yet such a smooth, slow, symmetrical style runs the risk of being ponderous. Gibbon guarded against this possibility in a variety of ways; variations of tempo and short pithy clauses are two of his most used methods. In addition he attempted to vary his tone. Many sentences are charged with irony, witticisms and outright jokes. A single illustration of these devices in operation will have to suffice: his famous description of the deposition of the anti-pope John XXIII by the Council of Constance (1415), Of the three popes, John the Twenty-third was the first victim: he fled and was brought back a prisoner: the most scandalous charges were suppressed; the vicar of Christ was only accused of piracy, murder, rape, sodomy, and incest; and after subscribing to his own condemnation, he expiated in prison the imprudence of trusting his person to a free city beyond the Alps. Modern historians weighed down with

the obligation to be "scientifically objective" usually renounce such verbal techniques, and when they employ humor, as AJ.P. Taylor was wont to do, they can earn the condemnation of their peers. ...___,,_,,.,,uuu lived in an age before history became l;u;gely an academic pursuit and thus labored under no such disadvantage. Yet I cannot escape the impression that the externalities of Gibbon's style do not entirely suffice to explain his longterm appeal. Students today do find him ponderous, and they are often put offby the irony which seems too cool and seems to put too great a distance between the reader and the events being described. But Gibbon as a writer has many other gifts particularly advantageous to a historian that may help explain his appeal. H e achieves that fine balance between detail and generality that we all seek in our writing but seldom find. He is a master in particular of the telling example, a brief episode that sums up and gives point to some general theme he is attempting to develop. Gibbon is a master, too, of describing geographical settings. When he describes an arn1y on campaign, it is almost always possible to follow exactly where the army is going and what kind of country it is in. (He was helped to develop this skill by his active service as a militia officer.) To give his writings their sense of place, Gibbon, who lived a largely sedentary life in London and Lausanne, took infinite pains to master travellers' accounts of distant lands he had never seen. In this he was the beneficiary of the vast European travel literature that had developed since the era of the Great Discoveries. His handling of geography helps provide a concreteness of detail in his narrative and thus avoids that vague abstractness that makes a soporific out of so much historical writing. Does Gibbon's perennial appeal also derive from the content of his work: his

handling of the record, his interpretations? Given the great strides in the methodological side of history that have occurred since his day, it is probably inevitable on many specific points that Gibbon, the gentleman-amateur, does not come up to today's professional standards. For instance, his attempt to create a continuous narrative about the emperors in the first three volumes (down to A.D . 476) led him to impose on the record a coherence that the primary written sources do not sustain. More generally, his sense of psychology is cramped by the static views of the ancients (and the 18th century); like other historians of his time his grasp of economic and social phenomena is rudimentary; he is given to a crude geographical determinism; and finally, despite his critical and skeptical spirit, he is too willing, for the sake of a good story, to repeat malicious gossip he finds in his sources. Yet despite these inevitable and quaint obsolescences, his overall historical judgments remain impressive. He seems to have anticipated or invented many of the commonly held judgments on the course and meaning of the past that can still be found in Western culture; many of the contentions of the Decline and Fall are still part of most historians' conventional wisdom. In addition to his overall judgments Gibbon is famous for his asides, and his footnotes (especially for those who read Latin) are a delight. His remarks on religion are not, as is usually thought, all hostile; they are often insightful. His comments on Roman law, architecture, the state of the coinage, and the general outlines of culture are always stimulating. Gibbon's canny choice of a topic on which to write history also explains his appeal. He decided to recount the fate of Rome only after rejecting a number of other topics, and he aimed to win favor with that sophisticated general readership that had already acclaimed the histories of William Robertson and David Hurne

istoriography literally means the "writing ofhistory. " As a formal subject it includes the history of historical writing, the methods used in historical study and the ideas or philosophies that motivate and inform historical study. History 300, Historiography, is now a required course for the history major. Each year we offer three or four sections, each taught by a different member ofthe department. What faculty and students have found is that the course opens new perspectives on how historians go about their task, and the perils, pitfalls and controversies that surround historical inquiry. Our majors emerge better able to study history on a more sophisticated level that allows them to understand more critically the material in all their history courses. It makes historical study more interesting and, yes, more fun! Hot debates are not uncommon in historiography classes. History, after all, is shaped by our own interests and our own backgrounds. Public debate and controversy surround us: Was Columbus a blessing or disaster? What should we do with the SOOth anniversary of the "discovery ofAmerica"? What history should our children learn in school-the emergence of a Westem tradition or the many traditions of our society? Was the American frontier the shaping force in American history or an unmitigated disaster for nature and native Ameri-

cans? How will the collapse ofcommunism influence our understanding of the last century and a half? Historiography invites us to read the influential historians of the past and the present. Professor Steele offers a concise and lucid commentary on Edward Gibbon's classic, Tht Dtclint and Fall oftht Roman Empire, fondly or otherwise remembered by many grads from the days of required History 101. Gibbon wrote during the Enlightenment when a more rational and critical attitude of mind began to inform historical study. In the next generation, what Professor Steele refers to as a "golden age" ofhistorical writing began. In the 19th century a self-consciously "scientific" history emerged with Leopold von Ranke and the Germans in the lead. It coincided with a vastly expanded, middle-class, reading public in the Victorian era with books by the likes of Macaulay on the best-seller lists. For me, the most basic lesson emerging from the formal study of historiography is that we cannot keep our hands off history. Regardless of our training or lack thereof as historians, or even whether we think we have any interest in history, we do, in fact, care about how the past is viewed. And if you don' t believe it, just try discussing Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal, the war in Vietnam, the Holocaust, or " Dances with Wolves" at a dinner party without getting into an argument!

GIBBON'S MASTERPIECE

(known to some as a philosopher); in this he was successful. In the late 1770s the ÂŁill of the Roman Empire had both topical and perennial interest. His readers were undoubtedly struck by certain parallels with the decline and fall of another empire, that ofBritish North America. (Gibbon himself sat in Parliament for most of the 1770s and supported Lord North's efforts to put down the colonists.) Gibbon and the class for which he wrote were steeped in the Latin classics. Since the Renaissance, educated Westem Europeans have identified (probably overly identified) the sources of their society in Classical Antiquity. Given this identification, poetic melancholy and philosophic reverie about the fall of Rome always seemed to pose this question about the "ÂŁill of civilization:" if it happened once, why not again? Against this haunting anxiety, Gibbon offered extended and perhaps too sanguine reassurance in his first three volumes. Despite beginning his history (for purposes of a dramatic opening) with the "happy" second century of the "five good emperors," Gibbon makes clear that the seeds of decline were planted earlier. The civil society of the Republic was fatally undermined after the civil wars of the first century B.C. by the not-so-hidden dictatorship of Augustus. Henceforward, as the tyranny of the emperors grew, the empire had an ever more difficult time commanding the willing energies of its inhabitants even as the external challenge increased. Moreover, the growth of Christianity spread an ethos which encouraged the population to look elsewhere than the empire for its salvation. These fatal conditions, Gibbon believed, would not be repeated in modem times where the virtues of limited government are increasingly recognized, technology gives every sign of "solving the barbarian problem," and modem science has consigned religion to its "rightful" place of private belief Thus the message of the first three vol-

umes; their popularity was instant. Compared with the simple pieties of the first three volumes (all published by 1781), the last are filled with complexities. Students of Gibbon have sometimes professed disappointment with them. It has been postulated that the historian was the prisoner of his own metaphor of decline and fall that made him look upon medieval culture as decadent. In any case, many see Gibbon as out of sympathy with what he deemed the priest-ridden Byzantine continuation of the empire. He is also less at ease with Greek sources ofByzantine history than with Latin. As if anticipating these criticisms, Gibbon tells us that in treating the thousand years after A.D. 476, he followed the advice of the

Abbe de Mably and gave less space to the Byzantines and more to "peoples if~reater significance. " This resulting change of emphasis alters, in my reading, the main theme of the Decline and Fall. The central thread is no longer the fall of civil society which in any case was thoroughly dead by A.D . 476. Instead, the work now becomes an examination of what Gibbon sees as the millennia! clash between "western civilization" and "non-Western" peoples. The geographical horizon of the history is accordingly expanded from the relatively cozy confines of the Roman Empire, even as the empire contracts to limits equivalent to "a small German principality." Events throughout the greater

parts of Europe and Asia and a substantial part of Africa are cove~ed . Gibbon's history becomes truly audacious not merely in its temporal but in its spatial scope. Nor is this greater breadth purchased at any great sacrifice in depth ; it serves to remind us of the possibilities in history writing that beckoned the resolute generalist. before specialization took hold of the historical profession ; there is little to equal it until our own time haltingly began once again to tum to the challenge of writing global history. What did Gibbon know of and how did he evaluate this larger scene that had gradually been revealed to Europeans since the Renaissance? Of China he generally approved its social stability, noting that the illustrious family of Confucius was still honored, but given the nature of what he deemed Chinese despotism he doubted whether " true philosophy" could ever be practiced there. The complexities of Indian culn1re lay largely beyond his ken despite his possession of a translation of the Baghavad Cita by his friend Sir William jones. The Buddha he knew only as the "idol Fo" from j esuit accounts of China. (Detailed knowledge of Buddhism did not develop in Europe until the 19tl1 century.) H e saw black Africans as racially inferior to Europeans and Asians: Ethiopia was incapable of advancing civilization on its own. When it was deprived of regular contact wim the M editerranean at the end of antiquity it "almost" reverted to savagery. But these areas were all treated peripherally; by fa r me greatest part of his remarks were devoted to the steppe peoples and to Islam . Islam, that dangerous rival of the Occident, has always furnished something of a test for the fair-mindedness of W estem historians. In some ways Gibbon passed this test. He found much to admire in the career of Mohammad whose religion seemed to accord with the tenets of 18th-century Deism. While naturally deploring the "excesses of Muslim fanaticism," he reminds his readers that Islam had created a "civil society" from the

eastem end of the M editerranean to the furthest reaches oflndia. Subsequently when considering Islamic culture rather than religion, he reversed hin1Self, however; Islam in fact had only created the "semblance" of civil society. Gibbon produced his masterpiece at a time when European scholars had already gathered an impressive amount of material about the extra-European world but bifore the European takeover of Asia and Africa had properly begun. He was thus advantageously placed to help formulate European attitudes toward extra-European peoples at a critical moment in history. H e chose to find these peoples culturally (or racially) inferior to the "one true civilization," that of the west. A more sensitive, generous (and accurate) understanding on his part of the accomplishments of non-European peoples would have resulted in a different interpretation of the past, one less given to an emphasis on confrontation and more on what the various sections of humankind have come to owe each other. It would be a great irony if in concluding this account of Gibbon's ironic Decline and Fall we did not take note of the ironies that run through his own historical vision . Since he asserted the inferiority of non-W estem peoples, why did he consider it necessary to include so much about them in his history? His own biography gives us something of a clue. As a child who lost his mother early and was largely neglected by his fa ther, Gibbon was lefi: to his own amusements, which consisted largely of wide and unsystematic reading. Two of his favorite books were Pope's Homer and the Arabiart Nights. "I swallowed with the same voracious appetite the descriptions of India and China, of Mexico and Peru ...Before I was sixteen I had exhausted all that could be leam ed in English of the Arabs and Persians, the Tartars [Mongols] and the Turks, ... " This unfettered freedom finally ended when his fa ther took him in hand. H e was sent to schools where he compared his lot as

similar to that of the subject of an oriental despot and to an unsatisfactory stint at Oxford. Subsequently his father sent him to Lausanne to cure him of a " ruinous" flirtation with Catholicism and forbade his marriage to a Swiss woman , the only woman with whom he would ever entertain matrimonial aspirations. In short, Gibbon was "civilized" into the very model of an English gentleman, howbeit of the non-fox-hunting variety. In later life Gibbon gave l.ittle sign of openly resenting any of this treatment. It is possible to see, however, me later sections of the Declirte and Fall in which he devoted so much space to non-European peoples as a kind of "revenge of the repressed. " The Arabs, Persians, Turks, and Mongols were all formidable peoples who had rejected assimilation to "civilization;" in comparison the barbarian German tribes who eventually accepted W estem culture appeared almost genial. Thus, for Gibbon, the vitality and liveliness of his sections on non-European peoples seem to represent a kind oflefthanded indulgence of the forbidden fruits of adolescence, and it may be possible to say of hin1, to paraphrase William Blake's dictum on Milton , that he was of tl1e non-European party without even knowing it. It is also possible to believe that the psychological resonance of these large sections on non-European peoples explain some of the appeal for Gibbon's perennial readership. The temptation of the forbidden, the thrill of standing guard, at least in imagination, upon the "ramparts of civilization," the exhilaration of encountering the Other, all confusedly mingle to help The Decline and Fall if the R oman Empire work an almost magical spell. â&#x20AC;˘

n a warm October morning Dana Professor of Philosophy Drew A. Hyland checks the overhead proj ector in th e auditorium at Quirk Middle School in Hartford's N orth End. As he makes his fin al preparations for the day's lecture , about 100 seventh- and eighth-graders stream into the room , carrying brightly colored knapsac ks and the telltale unscarred notebooks of a new school yea r. The room sings with energy: a cacophony of squeakin g seats and teenage chatter that makes silence seem unlikely. H yland is ready to start, but th e restless students continu e to fidget. A handful of them are white; most are black or Hispani c. Quirk teacher Lee Callahan attempts to quiet them by explaining their homework assignment. They open th eir notebooks as he introduces Hyland . "Yesterday, you had a seminar on Epictetus," th e awa rd-winning Trinity teacher begi ns. " What do you think th e main idea was?" Several hands pop up from the sea of bright orange chairs. " You don 't need a lot of things to be happy," a boy calls out from th e bac k row. They arc on the right trac k. " And what does Epictctus think yo u should concern yourself with?" Hyland as ks. The answcr -"self-control"-ripples thro ugh his yo ung audience. " Right," H yland says approvingly. " If things are not in yo ur control, yo u shouldn ' t concern yo urself with them . Don 't get angry about th em. Don 't get all hysteri cal and scream and yell. Concern yo urself o nly with w hat is in your own power to acco mplish. " Only minutes have passed, but H yland has co mpletely captured the

students' attentio n. When he stops to write something for th em on the overhead projector, there is no chatter; th ere is no squeaking. " Drew has a real tal en t for relatin g to the kids," says R obert Kremer, guidance counselo r for students in th e C lassica l Magnet Program . Hyland 's lecture is just one of Trinity's contributions to th e program , a project of the Hartford Public School system. In the C lassical M agnet Program , w hich this yea r celebrates its tenth ann iversary, some 300 middle and high school students explore the works of ancient philosophers and scientists in a quest to think logically, critically, and creatively. The college preparatory curriculum includes such subjects as philosophy, logic, anatomy, and astronomy. Students study the works of Plato, Aristotle , Shakespeare, Virgil, Galileo , and Mac hiavelli. Hartford's C lassical Magnet Program

was the first of only a dozen such programs now in operation throughout the United States, says Robert Keefe, coordinator of th e project. Created in 1982, the program originally was intended for students with the least promise for academic success. After the first year, however, the program was redesigned to accommodate a cross-section of ability levels. About 20 percent of current parti cipants could be in an honors program, says Keefe. Others are potentially good students who do not perform as they should in a traditional classroom . All have applied for admission to the middle school program at Quirk or the high school program at H artford Public. One measure of th e program 's success is the number of Classical Magnet graduates who attend college . In general , at least 85 percent of Classical Magnet students continue th eir education at the college level. About 55 percent of Hartford Publi c High School graduates go to college. H yland, who in 1990 won Trinity's bi ennial Brown ell Pri ze for excellence in teaching, has worked with the C lassical M agnet Program since its in ception . In th e beginning, the program was an " integrationist's dream ," he says, with th e participating students evenl y divided among blac ks, Hispanics, and whites. Today the H artford student body is overwhelmingly Hispani c and blac k. At least a dozen Trinity fac ul ty members in such disciplines as philosophy , mathematics, religion , history, American studies, classics, English , and modern languages participate in th e C lassical Magnet Program .

The Trinity admissions offi ce also plays a maj or rol e, giving high school juniors and seni ors advice on how to apply to coll ege. Members of the admissions

staff bring the students to campus for mock interviews, wh ether or not they are applying to Trini ty. Yet anoth er contributio n the College makes is hosting a yea r-end banquet on campus for C lassical Magnet students and th eir parents. At that dinner, the Trinity Prize for the best creati ve writing is awa rded to a high school and to a middle school student. H yland established th e pri ze a few yea rs ago , returning money he received from the C ollege for participating in the program. At least one o fhi s T rini ty coUeagues- J o hn Georges - has followed suit, and some o f the public school teachers have do nated funds fo r a second pri ze. " I beli eve we have a civic respo nsibility," H yland says of his work w ith C lassical Magnet. "W e o ught to make a contributio n -one that uses our

abiliti es . I'm committed to public education."

itting in a circle one morning last spring, Hartford Public High School teacher Pat Russell 's philosophy students prepare to discuss Physics Book II , C hapter 3, by Aristotle. Their conversati on about the purpose of existence begins slowly, th e lo ng silences punctuated by an occasional question from the teacher. N eith er Russell nor these high school senio rs seem disturbed by the quiet. Eventually, a yo ung woman dressed in shorts and an Irish knit sweater makes a comm ent th at sparks an exchange . " Everyo ne has his own reason for being here," says Leticia, her classmates listening attentively. "There arc lots of reasons. Everyo ne has his own."

" If you don't have a purpose, does that mean there is no reason for yo ur being?" interj ects the teacher. " Or might th ere be some purpose yo u don 't see?" The conversation accelerates . A softspoken girl suggests that all humans have a purpose . She is challenged by a student who asks about th e individual.. " So me individuals haven't figured out th eir purpose," th e girl says, defending her po int . "Or they might not care because everything in life hasn't gone so good fo r them . Th ey might not care . " "D oesn 't everybody create their own purpose in life?" th e outspoken Keisha asks the class . " I did in mine. I set goals. You have to create goals and evolve from your goals." R obert asserts that there is a difference between human purpose and individual purpose . H e suggests that people fall bac k on their basic human purpose when th ey lose sight of the individual purpose they create for themselves . With his classmates, he explores wh ether it is possible to recognize a purpose even if confined to a concentration camp , w hether parents impose a purpose on th eir children, w hether people w ho are mentally ill have a purpose. From time to time the teacher makes a comment, suggesting a direction for a conversation that is being steered by the students. "They've learned how to conduct a discussio n," Russell says proudly. "There's no rudeness. Everybody gets a chance to say something. " The students become different as they learn the semi nar tecbnique," she adds, explaining that middle school seminars are often chao tic. " They talk with o ne another instead o f over one another and are more refl ective." "This sort of thing is so unique," says coordinato r Keefe. "The students are so concern ed abo ut being respectful to one another. "

At first there was only the quiet, swirling, mists. No one or thing to worry or care about, just the calm , peaceful , mists. She knew it would not last but still she wondered if it would really be so bad just to give up? To - simply end it all here. No ...that was the one option she did not have. Her father had sacrificed too much for her and Jark and it had cost him his life. So she slowly pulled out of her deep sleep and then assumed her real shape. "Very stiff" she murmured and stretched her arms and legs to get out the kinks. Then she looked at her surroundings and gasped. She had arrived late last night and had begun to sleep immediately; even before she had taken her real form . But now she saw the devastation surrounding her. The war had ended just weeks ago and all she knew and loved had been destroyed. This area was empty aside from beast and outlanders, and in her opinion there was little difference. Suddenly her line of thought was broken as the raging sound of a trapped animal caught at her. She scurried over the rubble and down a once beautifu l street. She rounded a corner and saw a small group of armed outlanders trying to get at some large animal that was fighting with its back to the wall. Then , in an effort to escape, it moved out of the shadows for a moment and dodged away into the more open space . Ewyn gasped , "A malzrak!" She had heard of such a creature before but had thought them a myth until now.

Each week all students in the program, from seventh through 12th grade, spend one class period simultaneously discussing a common reading. Teachers in the program discuss the same text as the students in their own weekly seminar. "Seminar is so much fun," Russell says. "It's so invigorating for me to be able to talk. I've always looked at it as a treat. It's not a meeting at all, but a real discussion." The seminars also are popular with students. "Seminars keep everyone involved," says Tyrone . "Everyone has a chance to participate." Keisha is quick to add her approval. "It's not a lot of fun looking at the back of other people's heads," she says of the traditional classroom setup. The non- traditional curriculum also appeals to students. In the middle school, students have classes in logic, philosophy, rhetoric, anatomy, and astronomy. At the high school, they read Oedipus Rex and Antigone, as well as works by Ibsen and Chekhov. "The things they're being asked to read they wouldn't usually read at that time," Keefe says. "We make the assumption that they can deal with them." Keefe admits that the program sacrifices some content to process, but students do just as well as, and often better than, mainstream students on the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the Metropolitan Achievement Test, and Connecticut Mastery Test. "The feedback we get from students is that college is not as difficult for them as it is for others," Keefe says. "The mere fact that they know Trinity professors, that they've been on a college campus a couple of times a year, and that it's not their first time in lectures seems to make a difference ." That difference is sometimes an acquired

taste for students. Keisha enrolled in the Classical Magnet Program as a seventh- grader but left the program after two years because she refused to take a third year of Latin. "I came back because there is a difference," Keisha says, recalling how she "begged" to be readmitted to the program. "I guess I'm here because I want more than what the average student gets from the mainstream curriculum." Tyrone offers an example. "Literature is not just reading and saying who said what," he says. "We look at different aspects: archetypes, symbolism. If it comes back up again later, you still have something." "In the mainstream, I felt like teachers were saying, 'This is what you have to do and that's it,"' says Leticia. "I didn't really learn that much. The things you learn in here stay with you the rest of your life. It's mind mapping."

n a balmy spring day at Hartford's Quirk Middle School, teacher Callahan asks a class of seventh graders to define a syllogism. The students oblige and soon are deep in a discussion of major and minor premises and explanations of the universal affirmative and the particular negative. Their understanding oflogic would undoubtedly baffie many a college student. "This is a tremendous language discipline," Callahan says over lunch in the school cafeteria. "If they never take anything else from the class into an argument, they at least take an increased use of the language. Logic prepares one for arguments much the way a drill team prepares for battle. When the time comes, your mind will be ready." Callahan is in his eighth year as a teacher in the Classical Magnet Program. For 12 years before that he taught European history and humanities at a Catholic high school in Hartford. When offered an opportunity to develop a philosophy curriculum for the Classical Magnet Program, he eagerly accepted the challenge. "The idea tickled me," Callahan recalls. "I never thought of myself as a

straight history teacher anyway. The thing I liked most about history is that it revolves around ideas, and I value ideas . In the mainstream, ideas are undervalued. People are looking for immediate practical dividends, and ideas lose out. "These kids are just starting to think about right and wrong," Callahan continues. "Particularly in the case of city kids, many of them never hear anyone talking about right and wrong. It's easier to get them interested in philosophy than history because it starts with the self" Learning about himself was important to Tyrone. "Without Classical Magnet, I would be where the majority of my street friends are," he says. "I was brought up to stay away from street trouble, but it was tempting. I had to get serious. I had to start thinking about what I would do when my parents aren't there any more. "Classical Magnet helped me to focus," he continues. "It helped me express more of what I felt. I discovered myself in philosophy." "There's a lot more to learning than reading, writing, and arithmetic," adds Keisha. "I learned a lot about myself Most of the teachers I've encountered in Classical Magnet have taken an interest in me. " Keisha talks about the encouragement she received from Russell to enter a recitation contest-which she won. Her success not only kindled an interest in acting, it bolstered her selfconfidence. "I feel like teachers are not just making sure that I got the work done," she says. "They seem to care who Keisha is and not just the student. It makes a big difference to me. "I'm the first one to go to college in my family ," Keisha says. "All my role models graduated from high school and ended up working at McDonald's . When I came into Classical Magnet, I kept hearing about college, and I said, 'What's this college thing anyway?' In the mainstream, I didn't hear much about college. I don't want to be in the projects the rest of my life. I do want more out oflife than just a high school diploma." â&#x20AC;˘

The scene. Trinity had the ball on the Williams' five-yard line with the Ephrnen clinging to a 27-24lead with one, yes, one second on the game clock. Actually, the scoreboard clock read 00:00 because it had run out after fullback Julian Craig '94 had been tackled at the five-yard line, but referee Kevin McGurk ruled that one second remained in the game. So, the Williams' team and fans were chased off the field for a final play with the game and the streak on the line. Trinity declined to tie the game with a field goal and went for the win. "No field goals in mind, you don't even have to ask that question," said Trinity's quarterback James Lane '92. After suggesting a play the Bantams ordinarily employ for two-point conversions to Head Coach Don Miller, Lane came onto the field, which was lined with Williams and Trinity fans eager to burst onto the field after the outcome of this play. Lane took the snap and rolled to his right. He pulled up, pump faked, and sofi:ly tossed

a five-yard touchdown pass to halfback John Mullaney '93 giving Trinity a 30-27 win and a 3-0 record. "It certainly was not a called play, that's for sure," said Mullaney. " It was a simple flanker bend out, but the guy was on me so I ducked behind him." Lane, who stood for what seemed to be an eternity waiting for Mullaney to break free , never felt the pressure of the moment or the Williams' pass rush. "I wasn't nervous, not at all, I was confident," explains Lane, who was named the week's recipient of the Coca Cola Gold Helmet Award for his play. The award is given to the athlete who had the most outstanding performance in New England in Division III . Trinity opened the scoring 14:47 seconds into the first quarter on an impressive 14-play drive that provided a glimpse of how James Lane's right shoulder was destined to lead Trinity to victory on this overcast afternoon. Lane was six of six on the 52-yard drive which culminated with an eight-yard touchdown pass to split-

end Mike Giardi '93. Trinity took its next possession 71 yards down to the Williams' 22-yard line where a 39-yard field goal attempt by Ted O 'Connor '92 went wide to the right. Williams countered with a scoring strike of its own to tie the game at 7-7 when the Eph's quarterback Dan Dwyer hit tight end Matt Moynahan for a six-yard touchdown with 2:26 remaining in the first half Even though the two teams went into the half tied at 7-7 , the Bantams dodged a bullet as a Lane interception set up a 37-yard field goal attempt by Williams that fell short. The Ephmenjumped out to a 14-7 lead halfway through the third quarter when Dwyer launched a 52-yard touchdown pass to speedster Andre Burrell . While Williams' offense struck quickly, Trinity marched downfield behind its offensive line, or "R anchHogs," as they call themselves. Whenever the Bantams are looking to run the ball , they refer to it as "going to the ranch." On the Bantams' next possession , Lane took Trinity

to the ranch, throwing only five passes as the backfield trio of Craig, Mullaney, and Mike Wallace '93 galloped its way inside the Williams' 20-yard line. Trinity was forced to settle for a 27-yard field goal by O'Connor. The field goal was bittersweet for the Bantams because on the play prior to O'Connor's threepointer, Giardi appeared to be pushed from behind before the arrival of the ball. In the fourth quarter, the action became fast and furious. Trinity took over the ball on its own 17-yard line after a Williams punt with 13:15 to play. The Bantams "went to the ranch" once again as they pounded their way to the Williams' 35-yard line, keeping the ball on the ground for ten of the 11 plays. Lane ran an option to the right on the 12th play, and opting to keep the ball, he cut back upfield and into the end zon ~ for a 17-14 lead with 7:06 left on the clock. Williams rebounded to take a 20-17 lead with 2:47 left in the contest when Dwyer rolled to his right and dove into the end zone for a two-yard touchdown score. Williams missed the point after. Here's where the fireworks started. In joe Montana fashion, Lane, who was 19 of 33 for 239 yards, ran the Bantams'tworrninute offense to perfection. After a touchback on the kickoff, Lane moved the Bantams into scoring position in just five plays. On a first-and-ten situation, Lane dropped back to throw, and throw he did. Shunning the short routes, Lane aired it out down the right sideline looking for a streaking Wallace. Wallace battled a Williams defender for the ball, and in winning the ball, Wallace appeared to win the game for Trinity. "I just wanted it more than he did, I guess," said Wallace. "He hit it first, and then I tipped it, and then I grabbed it with my right arm." Wallace achieved all this while falling backwards into the end zone on a dead run. While Wallace's catch put the Bantams up by a 24-20 margin, Trinity was not out of the woods yet, as the officials called a penalty on the Bantams for coming onto the field, enabling Williams to

return the ball to Trinity's 46-yard line. One play later, Williams led 27-24 as Dwyer hit Burrell with another longdistance scoring strike. JeffDevanney '93 fielded ensuing Williams' kickoff, went up the right side, and tossed the ball back to Shaun Kirby '95. After picking it up off the ground, Kirby reversed his direction and was tackled at Trinity's 48-yard line. With 28 seconds left, Lane came out to work his magic one more time. The senior signalcaller quickly tossed two passes to Giardi of 16 and 17 yards, which brought Trinity to the Williams' 20-yard line, setting up the pass to Craig and the winning toss to Mullaney. After the game, an extremely happy Don Miller summed up his 131st win. "I think it's the best game I've ever seen or been associated with. James had a super game. Those two drives at the end were spectacular. It was one of the most beautiful jobs of calling the right plays at the right time by any quarterback."

Field Hockey (7-1) After suffering a 4-1 defeat to Elms College in the season opener, Trinity has picked up where it left off last season, winning its next seven games. Sparking Trinity's offense, which is averaging close to four goals a game, are top scorers Lindsey Davison '94, Braxton jones '94, and Lexi Rice '93. Davison has two hat tricks on the year, including one in a 5-0 win over Williams, the defending ECAC Champions. Ashley Graves '93 has been sharp between the pipes for Trinity, posting a 1.12 goals against average. The squad's chances of making a return trip to the ECAC playoffS are good, even though they will be tested with matches against Wesleyan, Clark and Bates in the final week of action.

Women 's Soccer (5-3-1) The story thus far for the women's soccer team has been the exploits of striker Sally Thayer '92. As expected, Thayer has rewritten Trinity's record book. In her first game, she scored a hat trick and has not slowed down since, leading the team with seven goals and one assist. She now holds the records for most goals (33), assists (15), and points in a career (81). Karen Orczyk '84 held the old marks. The team will need to finish with a flourish to earn an ECAC bid this season. In the final weeks of play, a pivotal match with a talented Tufts team may be the deciding factor in the Bantams' playoffi aspirations.

Men's Soccer (3-2-2) The men's squad is right in the thick of the playoff hunt at the halfway mark of the 1991 season. THE POWERFUL SHOT ofLexi Rice '92 is one of the main reasons for Trinity's current winning streak.

A one goal defeat to Coast Guard and an overtime loss to Quinnipiac are the only blemishes on their record. Offensively, seniors Matt Evans, Peter Alegi, and John Twichell have scored three goals each to lead the team. In goal,JeffWard '92 has been the key performer for Trinity's defense. Against Williams, he helped earn Trinity a 1-1 tie with 20 saves, several of which were spectacular. With soccer powers such as Tufts, AIC, Connecticut College, and Wesleyan remaining, the Bantams have a challenging portion of their schedule to go as they try to earn a playoff spot.

Women 's Tennis (2-5-1)

After finishing third at the New England Championships last season, the tennis team has fallen on tough times, as a combination of injuries and tough opponents have slowed the Bantams early this season. Anita Shin '94, who has been one of Trinity's injured players, leads the team in wins with four, along with Laura Hubbard '93 and Kristen Scholhamer '94. In doubles competition, Stephanie Voros '92 and Hubbard have won four of their seven doubles matches to pace Trinity. The team will have three matches to tune up before they travel up to Amherst for another run at New England's finest tennis teams.

Cross Country The women's squad is off to one of the program's best seasons ever as the team captured two first-places and two second- place finishes in its first four races. Sarah Stuckey '95 has emerged as the fastest Bantam, winning the Vassar and Amherst lnvitationals. The other top finishers for Trinity have been Alexis Colby '95, Debby Gammons '93, Carrie Pike '93, and Claire Summers '92. While on paper it appeared the men might be in trouble in the 1991 campaign, they have come on strong to finish in the top five of three of their first four races. Steve Harding '94, Andy Pottenger '92 and a pair of freshmen, Chris Bride and Schuyler Havens have been the team's top runners.

TIM YATES '94 has provided the Bantams with a dimension of exceptional speed in the midfield this fall .

Women's Volleyball (4-7) With only two home matches scheduled this season, Trinity's most traveled team jumped out to a 2-0 start at the Clark Invitational by defeating Clark and Williams before losing their next five matches. The squad rebounded in the Rhode Island College Tournament, winning two of four matches as Trinity got solid performances from Leslie Remington '94 and Mary Birkel '93. Birkel, the team leader in kills, and her teammates are looking to finish the regular season on a positive note as they gear up for the NESCACs at Wesleyan. â&#x20AC;˘

In an effort to span the globe, to bring you the constant variety of sports that our alumni pursue, this issue we will focus on three Trinity alumni who have experienced the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat in various levels of post-graduate competition. Basketball forward jon Moorhouse '88 and rower Cristine Smith '91 savored international experiences while quarterback Todd Levine '90 returned home to play. These former Trinity standouts continue to compete in their favorite sports. Trinity's newest medal owner in the sport of crew is Cristine Smith. As a member of the United States lightweight crew without a coxswain, Smith rowed to a Bronze Medal finish at the World Championships in Vienna last August. The process of qualifying for the United States boat was extremely difficult, and Smith's quest really began at Trinity. She was a three-year letter winner for crew coach Norm Graf, and it was Graf who encouraged her to try out for the United States National Team. She was invited to the U .S.A. Rowing Association Pre-Elite Camp, which is the first stage of tryouts for the national crew. The invitations are given out only to those athletes who have strong recommendations and have posted impressive numbers in the weight lifting and ergometer tests. Smith enjoyed a strong camp, and moved to the Nationals at Indianapolis, Indiana, and then to Groton, Connecticut, where she won her seat in the national boat for the World Championships. Recendy, Smith has taken some time off away from the docks to enjoy the sights and sounds of Europe, something she did not have time to do before the Championships. On the other side of the English Channel, former basketball star Jon Moorhouse, a member of three ECAC Championship teams at Trinity, was honing his skills playing for Annadale, (Northern Ireland), a team in the Irish National Basketball League. Moorhouse, who remains three classes shy of his Trinity degree, has spent the past two seasons working toward mak-

ing a career out of his basketball talents. In Ireland, the level ofbasketball is at the Division II level. The Irish players ppssess Division III skills, but combined with the one professional allowed each team, usually an American forward/ center, the games are comparable to Division II. Moorhouse could handle the basketball end of his job, but the whole Irish situation posed different problems for the Connecticut native. "It took a little getting used to," explained Moorhouse about the armed soldiers patrolling the Belfast streets. "We had one member of our team who was a police officer for the Royal Ulster Constabulary, and he couldn't play any games held in Ireland because our team feared for his life." The league, which is made up of16 teams throughout the Emerald Isle, and the sport of basketball itself are becoming more popular in Ireland, especially when two rival towns compete. "When the Irish teams came up for a big game," said Moorhouse, "we really packed 'em in, but they never stayed the night in Belfast, regardless of how long the trip back was." Moorhouse returned stateside this year and last week the 6'9" forward traveled to Seattle for a weekend tryout with the Seattle Chinook in an attempt to keep his professional dream alive. "We had two days to prove ourselves," said Moorhouse. "There were about 30 players. We'd practice drills all morning and scrimmage in the afternoon." The practices were grueling and a new, challenging experience for Moorhouse, but maybe the most interesting portion of the weekend was dinner that evening with the other players. "Everyone was. my height or taller," explained Moorhouse. "It was definitely one of the few times that's happened to me in my life." Moorhouse did not win a spot on the Chinook roster, but has already packed his bags for another tryout in the CBA. Levine has no professional aspirations, but rather just wants to continue to play the game of football after enjoying such an incredible senior season at Trinity. A starter only in his senior campaign, Levine led the Bantams to a 7-1 record in 1989, the only loss coming against Williams, and posted the third highest passing total in a season ever at Trinity. Levine threw for

1,866 yards, which is second only to Joe Shield's totals for the 1983 and 1984 seasons, and established a new mark for touchdown passes in a season with 23. After graduation in 1990, Levine still longed to throw the pigskin deep. He joined the Middleboro Cobras of the Eastern Football League, a ten-team league that has squads in Massachusetts, Maine and Rhode Island. "It's fun," said Levine. "I missed the competition. I figured it was better than flag football, but it's not the commitment of full-time football like at Trinity." After two full seasons in the league, Levine has found a niche in this league while holding down a full-time job. "Our players are dealing with real lives," explained Levine. "We only practice two nights a week. " Locally, the fan support ranges from 300 to 500 spectators for these Saturday evening games. Levine has not decided how long he will play, but he hopes to be back in the huddle next season. "I'm on the low end of the age scale. You don't go over the hill at age thirty. We have a lot of older guys out here in great shape."

While it's certainly not the same brand of football he played at Trinity, Levine still manages to incorporate some of Trinity's "multiflex" offense into his Cobra attack. "It's funny. We ran the same play that James (Lane) used against Williams in a regular season game against the defending champions, and we won the game with it." The talent ranges from Division I to Division II[ in quality, and Levine doesn't know of any other Bantams currently playing in the league, although he did try to convince former Trinity wide receiver Don Fronzaglia '88 to play for his team. "I almost had him, but then his wife had a baby, and that was the end of that," quipped Levine. Like Levine, those of us in the College administration cannot keep track of all alumni who are continuing to compete for gold, cash, or fun, but we encourage them to keep in touch with news of their accomplishments.

Vietnam Joumey T hank you, thank you, thank you. "Vietnam journey" was a terrific article, especially for its flattering portrayal of Alan Farrell '66, the veteran as an intelligent, witty, literate, sane man of substantial accomplishments. I had almost given up on ever finding such a portrayal of a Vietnam veteran anywhere in the media. I'm proud of my alma mater for swimming against the left-wing tide and publishing such a balanced article. More of the same please! David Clayton Carrad '65 U.S. Army '66-'69; Vietnam '68-'69 P.S.

The New Academic Building Y our Spring 1991 issue carried a cover picture and many glowing words about the new Mathematics, Computing & Engineering Center. This is not to cry over spilled milk, but I think the building is the ugliest on campus, even uglier than the old "Physics Building" which it replaced. In the Architectural Commentary, much is made ofthe resemblance to the Mark Twain house. Poor old Mark would have a good chuckle ifhe knew this monstrosity was being compared to his intentionally grotesque residence. No doubt the building is functional and convenient within. But WHY must architects always try to erect monuments to themselves? Trinity's architectural style is basically "gothic." Why try "Twainic" or anything new? Why destroy the original "Long Walk" concept, or even tinker with the original architect Burges' magnificent plan of "four quadrangles"? Those are exclusively Trinity's! This buildingjust does not fit. No wonder "People who don't know the building are struck by its appearance"STRUCKDEAD Yours for keeping our campus beautiful! Pm1l W. Adams '35

Trinity Clubs around the country have had a busy sununer. The Trinity Club of Boston has been the busiest, sponsoring four events since the last issue of the Reporter. Boston held its annual Red Sox Baseball Outing on June 18. 150 alumni/ae and friends attended the game and the reception at the Oian1ond Club. Thanks go to Bryant McBride '88, Erica Lewis '87 and Tom DiBenedetto ' 71 for organizing this very successful evening at the ball park. On August 7, Lizzie Hardman '88 and Alyce Robimon '88 organized Boston's annual summer cruise. Of the colleges participating in the cruise, Trinity had the best turnout with over 60 young alumni. The sailors enjoyed a magnificent view of the sunset over the Boston skyline as they cruised around Boston Harbor. Just one week later, Macey Russell '80 sponsored a picnic for Boston-area freshmen and their families. Admissions representatives and several young alumni were on hand to answer questions. Boston's sununer came to an end on September 10 at the College Lecture Series, organized by Susan Angelastro '80. Peter Garrunons, ESPN baseball commentator and a Boston Globe columnist, shared his thoughts on "Baseball in 1991." The Trinity Club of Hartford hosted its ninth annual Carillon Concert Cookout on August 14. Hartford freshmen joined alumni/aeon the Quad while Daniel Kehoe '78 performed on the carillon. Concerned about the new income tax, over 25 Trinity alumni/ae and staff attended the College Luncheon Series on October 3. In her speech entitled "State Budgeting and Fiscal Responsibility," Lieutenant Governor Eunice S. Groark outlined the steps taken by the Weicker administration which have led to the new income tax. Groark strongly supported the tax, emphasizing that no other budget proposal would effectively finance the services provided by the state. The Trinity Club of Fairfield County held two events this summer. On July 21, Fred Tobin '57 organized a summer boat party. On this enjoyable Sunday evening, Trinity alumni/ae cruised the waters while mingling with alumni/ae from other colleges. Later in the sununer, Gwynn Campbell '77 and Fred Tobin joined efforts and organized a reception for incoming freshmen. The Trinity Club of Providence

celebrated the end of sununer with a happy hour on September 5. Alumni/ae gathered after work at a local watering hole, thanks to the organizational efforts ofJohn DeCesare '87. The Trinity Club of Chicago held its annual Freshman Sendoff Picnic at the home ofjolm Ellwood '65. Club Vice Presidents Jane Melvin Mattoon '84 and Steve Musicant '85 worked hard at organizing the picnic. On September 19, several colleges united in a "Celebration of Beer" at the Goose Island Brewery. Trinity had a good showing of15 young alumni.

BRYANT GREEN and Betsy are looking forward to their 50th wedding anniversary celebration in Hawaii in December. I see ANDY ONDERDONK frequently. We are fellow parishioners at Trinity Church in Hartford and our rector, THE REV. WILLIAM EAKINS '66, is also a Trinity graduate. His father also is a Trinity graduate. Andy has been the devoted church treasurer for many years; just one of his many volunteer activities. The Class of'34 scholarship recipient this year is Karen Flannery '94 who has found her interest to be in the area ofintemational relations. She is enjoying her Trinity experience very much. Please send news. Even if you feel that it is not important, your classmates are interested and I am more than willing to act as a clearing house. Class Agent: John E. Kelly

With much sadness, we report the death of JOHN AMPORT around Easter time. Jack had been battling cancer for several years. Details of his death are Jacking. We also deeply regret the death of GARDNER L. BOOTHE, JR. in Florida. Here, too, details are lacking. Although retired for several years, LUKE KELLAM still spends three or four days a week preparing for another Chesapeake Tunnel Bridge, paralleling the existing one. ART and Mary HAZENBUSH are currently on a cruise from Newark to Copenhagen, Oslo, Bergen, the coast of Norway, Shetland and Orkney Islands, Edinburgh and home. BERT BASKERVILLE is home from Florida and went to the Reunion, but saw no '35ers. TONY CACASE, a retired teacher since '68, spends May to September in Old Saybrook, Conn. and the rest of the year in Florida, living the good life. BILL WETHERILL and wife, Lee, live quietly in Chesterton, Md. He

works three days a week for a news agency covering all municipal activities. PEARCE and Eileen ALEXANDER spent much of the winter in Hawaii, enjoying the good climate. HENRY and Vera SAMPERS have completed their move to Ft. Lauderdale and an extensive motor trip through the Southwest to California. CLARENCE DERRICK has "retired" after 54 years of teaching and is nowediting500familydocumentsfrom the 19th century. DUANE FLAHERTY and his wife are taking it easy. In August, they will move to a new address : 3811 Somerset Dr., Apt. 203, Prairie Village, Kan. 66208-5178. (Editor's note: After receiving BILL WALKER's report, we were notified by JOHN KELLY '34 that Bill died on Aug. 23.

The 55th Reunion last June took place with only seven men of '36 pre sent: LOU STEIN, SAL PIACENTE, ED DUZAK, ROGER MOTTEN, FRANK MANION, JACK HANNA and myself. We all, with Pris Christensen and Doris Motten, attended the Half Century Club reception and dinner. When GATCH GEARE, our president until 1986, sent his regrets, he recommended that there be "a little back room electioneering prior to any Class meeting" in an attempt to decide on new Class officers. The best we could do was to hold a sort of Class meeting right in the dining room after the dinner, as that was the only time all were present. No one would accept an office, except the incumbents. We missed BERT MORE . Doubtless, you will read his obituary in this issue (see In Memory ). His wife, Betty, sent us a note of regret about their inability to attend, as Bert was in critical condition at that time, having suffered a massive heart attack. JOE KELLY ofBoynton Beach, Fla. sent regrets, saying that his planned trip north had been delayed because of radiology treatments for prostate cancer. We missed Joe, who has been one of the frequent attendees at reunions. I hope that the treatment is as successful as it has been for several of my associates here in Newington. BERT SCULL sent a note from his home in Sarasota asking details of'36 plans for the 55th. After telling him of our reunion prospects at that time, I heard nothing more, and I assume he decided that he would await a more comprehensive gathering of the Class, as he did not appear. In the Class parade, we had the Mottens , the Christensens, and Ed Duzak, who is using a cane these days, and did not follow and attend the alumni annual meeting that took place afterwards. Priscilla and I took a tour of the campus that morning and we

become more and more impressed by Trinity College every time we visit the campus. Highlights for us were our visits with Jack Hanna and the time we spent with Roger and Doris Motten. Class Agent: Dr. John G. Hanna

ED and Betty COLTON celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on June 22 at their daughter's ranch in central New Mexico with their two sons, eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Ed had a severe heart attack last October, but is back to his volunteer work in the emergency department of Tucson Medical Center, Arizona's second largest hospital. Despite his heart problems, Ed has been doing volunteer work for over 12 years. A photo of our 50th Reunion appeared in the summer 1991 Reporter. On a sad note - BILL HULL informed me that KINGSLEY FRENCH has passed away. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family. In attendance at the Trinity Half Century Club dinner held on June 13 were FRAN and Betty FERRUCCI, HARRY and Subby SANDERS, and YOUR SECRETARY. Also sitting at our table were ROGER and Doris MOTTEN '36 (of Deltona, Fla.) and Constance French of the Trinity development office. We had a wonderful time. PAUL LAUS writes that he is just looking for a pass to the Promised Land. MICKEY KOBROSKY is staying in shape by exercising frequently. He spends the winter in Florida since being retired from medical practice. He still misses the good old days at Trinity. Your Secretary was indeed fortunate to again play in the Ben Hogan Connecticut Open Pro-Am held at the Yale Golf Course on July 3. My son, Gary, is a Hogan sales representative.

MIKE BASSFORD wrote me that the Class turnout for our 52nd Reunion was good; five Class members and their wives returned, including Mike and Beth, ED and Mary SMITH, JACK and Helen WILCOX, DICK and Ruth LEGGETT, and BOB and Kate MUIR. Mike and Beth were joined by their son, ANDY '76. Family weddings conflicted with our being able to attend. Next year is a definite for Carolyn and me. I received an interesting report from JACK FOLLANSBEE. I quote, "While we were on our way to China and Japan we ran into DEXTER ANDERSON '37 and his wife while we were having dinner at the Sheraton Hong Kong. We hadn't seen each other since college days. Another small world item ... While staying at Hoahine Hotel in French Polynesia we noticed about a dozen yachts in the harbor. We chatted with an attractive student who was a crew member. She told us there was a Trinity student and alumnus aboard one of three yachts. It brought to my mind the old saying we used to sing at the Psi U house- "A smart Trinity man" which ended with "now Trinity is the gem of the ocean." Good to hear from you all , but we need more news updates. I'm planning to send a few selected letters to some holdbacks for our next issue. All is well with Carolyn and me. Our daughter, Carol, has started a business called SLEUTH & Company. They offer a twilight mystery tour of Boston. If traveling to Boston, join her as they journey through the timeless and twilit streets of Boston's history. We are returning to Vero Beach in November and planning to s tay through May of1992. If you come that way, look us up路 we are in the phone book. Happy times to all. Just received word that DAN CRUSON's wife, Brenda, died this past June. We are sorry to hear that, Dan. Both of Dan's and Brenda's sons, DANIEL III '67 and PIETER '71, as well as their daughter-in-law, KATHY DONAGHEY CRUSON '74, are Trin alumni . Don, all of us of'39 extend our sympathy to you.

ED BURNHAM, GUS and Peggy ANDRIAN , DICK ONDERDONK, YOUR SECRETARY and his guest, Audrey Lindner, attended the Half Century Club dinner during the June Reunion. We wished that there were more of us, but we felt right at home with our many friends of the Class of '41 and ofother years. Dick followed up by a brief note to me in which he expresses it best: "It's fun!" DICK MORRIS writes, "Alice and I

broke loose from an extended period of confinement and dared to take a trip to the Southwest. I smothered pride, often consenting to a wheelchair with路 out which I would have inconvenienced others and have missed much of the beauty that I saw. After a pleasant stay in Dallas with my late Anne's brother, we flew on to Tucson. Talked with ED COLTON '37 and reminisced about professors and students we had known at Trinity. Saguaro and prickly pear cacti were in bloom. Visited Kitt Peak Observatories, 7,000 feet high, where Shirley Jones, former Trinity professor of astronomy, once worked. Went on to Phoenix and north to the canyon country: Oak Creek, Grand (grand enough to bring tears to my eyes), and into Utah to Zion, Cedar Breaks (over9,000feet), toBryc~ur favorite, Glenn at the base of Lake Powell, Meteor Crater and the Petrified Forest, returning to Phoenix via Salt River Canyon. Tested my Trinity teaching of anthropology in Walnut Canyon and Wupatki. The beauty and grandeur were overwhelming: images destined to stay with me until I die. In Dallas, on the return trip, we chanced upon Jane Goodall of "chimpanzee fame ." A delightful conversation ensued. We both hold the Joseph Wood Krutch Medal of the Humane Society of the U .S. To my living classmates: dare anything, you're never too old, and it's never too late! Gus Andrian writes, "Peggy and I spent a delightful two-and-a-halfweeks in Spain this summer, visiting friends in Mallorca and later in Madrid with BERT SCHADER '56, and his family. Our hosts on the island live in a villa outside of Palma, the capital, with swimming pool and other amenities not too hard to take. We were able to visit and enjoy many of the small, picturesque villages with lovely beaches that dot the eastern coastline and others equally beautiful throughout the mountain ranges of the West Coast. The British poet Robert Graves found one of these tiny villages so irresistible that he spent more than the second half ofhislife there. Mallorca is also a sailor's paradise: an indelible impression is that of thousands of masts rising into the sky. In Madrid, we enjoyed a huge picnic-celebration of the Fourth of July sponsored by the American Club of Madrid, with hot dogs, hamburgers, corn and the rest. Except for the heat, Madrid was as culturally stimulating as ever. All in all, it was a great trip." Your Reporter meets TOM and Doris MCLAUGHLIN frequently at AARP luncheons.

(I received a very nice note from Estelle, asking me to thank the Class for the invitation to the Reunion.) Some Class members sent their regrets. LARRY MARSHALL said that he was having leg problems. JACK EWING said, "One of my godchildren is getting married, so will not make it. Best to all." CHARLIE COOK wrote that "I had thought I would be able to be there some of the time but, alas, I cannot. Have a wonderful reunion." In his note BILL VAN WYCK brought us up to date on his activities .! have come out of retirement to re-enter the active ministry and have a good deal going on with my new responsibilities. Blessings and good wishes for our 50th." JOHNLAMENTsaidthat"lhadlooked forward to seeing all of you at our 50th Reunion. Unfortunately I am fighting prostate cancer which will necessitate staying home. My best wishes to all for a wonderful reunion, and a healthy happy New Year. P .S. Perhaps JOHN SPANGLER will send me a note." BILL SEED MAN sent a long, newsy letter. "Was looking forward to attending. But on June 10 I am having a hip operation at Hartford Hospital. Since I will still be in the hospital at the time, the reunion is out. Hope you have a great time. After 20 years as a games supervisor at Harvey's Casino at Lake Tahoe I returned to East Hartford to live with my widowed sister. My daughter, Sharon, is a special education teacher in Cromwell. My daughter, Kim, is at Letterman General Hospital on the Presidio in San Francisco getting her master's degree in speech therapy. My son, Bill, a three time AllAmerican, in 1987 won a national boxing championship for Central Connecticut State University. He is a welfare worker for the State of Connecticut. I am fully enjoying the golden years." STAN ENO writes that "It is with deep and heart-felt regret that I will not be able to attend my 50th Reunion as I will be in Kansas City, Mo. on business the nature of which requires my presence. My best wishes are sent to all of my many classmates who are fortunate to be able to attend. Have fun and be sure that '41 puts on a good show." The Reunion proceedings began Thursday noon with a reception and

luncheon at Koeppel Student Center on Vernon Street. We heard a talk by PETER KNAPP '65 , the College archivist, who described the evolution of the Trinity campus from the Long Walk to its present state. The development has roughly preserved the original concept of three quadrangles, although only the central one is in the Gothic style. Perhaps the most moving part of the Reunion was the memorial service on Thursday afternoon for our deceased classmates. It was held in the Chapel of the Perfect Friendship, with the afternoon sun streaming through the stained glass windows . As the officiant read the roster of the dead, a series of once familiar faces passed before my mind's eye. All the faces were youthful , in contrast to those of the elderly men who listened in pensive silence. In the evening we were inducted into the Half Century Club at a reception and dinner.An unexpected feature was an award to YOUR SECRETARY for my work as Class Secretary. While I appreciated the warmth and generosity which prompted it, I can say that I have already been amply compensated by the opportunity to keep in touch with my classmates. At Friday morning's Class meeting, all present Class officers were reelected: Lou Buck as president, Don Day as class agent and Frank Kelly as secretary. In addition, Dick Blaisdell was elected to the newly-created post of vice president. Don announced the final figure for our Reunion Fund Drive. It was $19 short of $33,500. The 19 sports attending the meeting ponied up $1 each to bring us to an even $33,500. Our 50th year class was given special status in the alumni parade to the athletic center. We marched directly behind the brass band, between cheering crowds. I felt as though we were in a Roman triumph (although on sober reflection I had to admit that what was being applauded was only our longevity). To embellish our turnout Ed (Edward) Smith provided one of his collection of antique automobiles, which presently numbers 16. It was a 1930 air-cooled Franklin which looked as though it had just rolled out of the showroom. It was complete with a rumble seat which was occupied during the parade by Rosemary Russo and Cully Roberts. (I wonder whether we arethelastclasstoknowwhatarumble seat is?) We had hoped that at the annual meeting of the alumni association we might collar the prize for the alumnus traveling the longest distance, since Phil Parvus had come from South Mrica. But Phil had to leave for home, and a spoilsport from another class came from Tokyo. The a! fresco luncheon which followed was very pleasant. We enjoyed the company of Joe Russo, Jr., DAN RUSSO, and their lovely wives. During the luncheon I noticed that Ed Smith's Franklin was a continuing center of interest among all classes. It was used as the background for innumerable photos, many with President Tom Gerety. At our banquet on Saturday night, Dick Blaisdell and Your Secretary received plaques for our work on the Profile Book. Actually, Dick was the

one who deserved the credit, since without him the book would not have appeared. He said that it had been a unique experience, since he had read his way through four years of Trinity Tripods, reliving the past. He had capped his services to the Reunion by procuring photostatic copies of"Neath the Elms" to help those of us who didn't remember every word of all four stanzas. Dick Barnes led us in a stirring rendition, and a very enjoyable Reunion was over. In a letter to the College, PAUL HOYLEN wrote that he has been in ill health lately. We hope that Paul's health and that of all our other ailing classmates will soon improve, and that they will be ready and able to attend our 55th Reunion . Moe Borstein reports continuing delight with his first granddaughter. Ivan Bennett has added listing in Who's Who in The World to his previous inclusion in Who's Who in America and Who's Who in the Midwest.

Class Agent: Donald J. Day John R. Barber 4316ChambersLakeDr. Lacey, Wash. 98608-3176 By the time this edition of your favorite collegiate magazine is in hand, our 50th Reunion will be but slightly over a half-year away! Please set aside any thoughts or plans to be anywhere but the Trinity campus from June 1114, 1992. Those of you who made the 45th in 1987 remember what a great treat it was - and surely you noticed the extreme and deserved V.l.P. treatment the College then accorded the golden boys of'37! So, while the big bash next June will hopefully not be our Last Hurrah, YOUR presence will help make our FIFTIETH the greatest of all. Sure, some of us are old coots now, but bring the cane, wheelchair or golf clubs, the little lady, and let's celebrate, reminisce, boast, apologize or whatever. I know you'll find it worthwhile to see what we've become in extreme maturity. Personally, I've especially enjoyed past reunions by getting to know and appreciate many fellows only dimly recalled from campus days. So YOUR REPORTER can hardly wait for this one, even though Honolulu's Mayor FRANK FASI will beat me out for the "Came the Farthest" award! As if it weren't prestigious enough just to belong to the organization, THOMAS H. TAMONEY, Esq. received special kudos last May from the Hartford Rotary Club. Loyal alumnus and lawyer JOHN BONEE, Esq. '43 thoughtfully provided me with the text ofhis presentation making Tom a Paul Harris Fellow, the Club's top honor. It took John a full page to list all this classmate's accomplishments. Mentioning Tom's 40 years oflaw practice in estates and taxes, the presentation also credits the Trinity Jesters dramatic club with honing Tom's histrionic ability at the Bar and at the rostrum. Further insight to his character is suggested by this presentation quote: "... all of his (four) children make a special effort to speak with their fa-

ther on a weekly basis regardless of where they may be in the world." Tom, you are indeed a counselor's counselor! RICHARD K. MADISON, now retired in Murray Hill, N.J. , finds that computers help exercise and continue his Trinity-honed brain power. He and Caroline each have personal Macintoshes for utility and fun . Dick has enjoyed world travel over the years. When pressed, he named New Zealand as his favorite overseas destination. The Madisons have a daughter who's a successful dermatologist. KENNETH ALBRECHT will soon be losing his status as one of only two alleged non-septuagenarians remaining on the Class of 1942's roll. Ken won't attain Threescore and Ten status until January of our reunion year, 1992. This youthful and vigorous alumnus settled in East Texas some years back. As of report date , he was in town (Broaddus, Texas) getting a truck tire. Another Good Old Boy in the Lone Star State is GEORGES. ADAMS, JR. Retired to Amarillo from the insurance field since 1983, George helps keep old age at bay with plenty of swimming and walking. He did admit that a touch of arthritis has interfered with his golf game. Vacationing in Scottsdale, Ariz. last year, he was happy to see and talk to THE REV. HENRY B. GETZ, another Sun Belt retiree. Reached at home in Milton, Mass. , BEECHER M. BEATY continues to live the good life. Mac is a country clubber, and still devoted to the worthy pastime of golf. A fine (and sunny!) summer outdoor barbecue was sponsored by the College's presumably most remote alumni group, the Trinity Club of Seattle. Genial DAVE MCGAW '49 was again the host this year. An interesting cross-section of undergrads, a subfreshman , youthful grads and old grads was on hand (Your Reporter being the most ancient). Toweringoverthegroup andclaimingstatusasourC!assyoungster was JOHN JONES of Seattle, whose 70th birthday is slated for February 1992. Among John's past and present interests are acting, writing and singing. He reminded me that long ago, as choristers in Trinity's 21man chapel choir, he, Hank Getz and I helped "bring back Bach" under the tutelage of talented , demanding Clarence Watters as organist/director. Are there other' 42ers who were in the Glee Club or choir? I'm also looking to borrow a copy of the yearbook (I uy ) from our senior year. Can anyone oblige? Recently received news from the alumni office: A May 2, 1991 Hartford Courant article lists the names of a group of retired jurists and describes their involvement in the state's alternative resolution program. Among these retirees is former Appellate Court Judge GEORGE D. STOUGHTON. JOHN SWIFI' and his wife continue to live in Islamabad, Pakistan where John works for the U.S. Agency for International Development. They expect to be in Pakistan until the end of 1992, but fully intend to be back in the U.S. in time for his 50th Reunion.

JACK MCLAUGHLIN lives in Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico which Jack describes as having about the best climate one will find any place in the world. He is about 5,000 feet above sea level where the sun shines almost every day, but the weather is neither hot nor humid. It rains only at night. There is no pollution. Jack spent most of his business career with the American International Insurance Company as a representative in the Philippine Islands. He is now enjoying his retirement. ED GILBERT writes that he and his wife, Nancy, have been in Salt Lake City, Utah for the past 20 years. He adds that nothing very exciting has happened, that he retired from the Eimac Division ofVarian Associates in 1982 and that he has enjoyed rather a relaxed life ever since. HARRY HULTINE writes that he is still working in a lumberyard at the age of70; adding, "Our first grandson arrived on our 38th wedding anniversary." RANDY SHARP writes as follows: "We are still retired and living in Naples, Fla. Stop by and bring your bathing suit. The latch-string is always out." AL STAFFORD writes, "The last of our 10 children will have been married byJune30ofthisyear.JohnB.Stafford is president of Accu-Foundations, a construction company."

DR. HARRY BALFE II will retire next year as a professor at Montclair (N.J.) State College in Upper Montclair, but will stay as an adjunct professor. While still fully active professionally, Harry has been active outside the classroom, including work on behalf of Trinity. Between September 1990 and May 1991, Harry attended four college fairs at area high schools on behalf of our alma mater. He informs us that some 400 of these are held all over the country. Those of you who would like to represent Trinity at some of these should contact Mary Whalen at the College admissions office. Back to Harry, on Feb. 9-10, 1991, he was a judge at the eastern regionals oftheannualPhilipC.Jessupinternational Law Moot Court competition. This event, at which 31 nations competed at the University of Pennsylvania , was sponsored by the International Law Student Association and the American Society of International Law. In the fall of 1990, Harry was in Providence, R.I. to read a paper and lead a panel discussion before the New England Political Science Association. DR. WELLS FARNSWORTH is retiring again. He originally retired in

1980 from the Veteran's Administration and the State University of New York in Buffalo. Now, after eight years as professor and chairman of biochemistry and three additional years as professor of biochemistry at Chicago CollegeofOsteopathicMedicine, Wells is returning to the laboratory as adjunct professor of urology at Northwestern University School ofMedicine in Chicago. Wells' view on medical education is appearing this fall in The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association in an article titled "Shouldn't Physicians be Doctors." His hypothesis , which he calls "unconventional," on the mode of androgen action on the prostate, is appearing in both Membrane Biochemistry (written for biophysicists) and The Prostate (written for urologists and endocrinologists), also this fall. Wells' book, The Prostate as an En路 docrine Gland, is coedited by Richard Ahlin and published by the CRC Press. Dr. Peter Ofner of Tufts University, in reviewing the book, said that it was well received. YOUR SECRETARY got together recently with another Trinity man, JOSEPHMOLINARI '48,inRowayton, Conn. Joining us were World War II buddies, Douglas Bora and Michael Seely, and our wives. The four guys served in the same Company G, 335th Infantry Regiment, 84th Division, during the Battle of the Bulge, among other actions. REX GREEN '46, who also matriculated at Trinity, served with us and was killed during fighting in the Siegfried Line in Germany. We just learned that '44 classmate JOHN C. REID died recently. Our condolences to his family . Staying active during retirement in Lions Club charities, Your Secretary and wife, Josephine, continue working in the Rhode Island Lions Children's Cancer Fund. Josephine is now a director of the Newport Lions Club and was named Lion of the Year in the Club. We both received awards for service this past year from then-International President William L. "Bill" Biggs. Returning to Wells Farnsworth for a moment, he writes, "Your report on LARRYROBERTSintheSpring(1991) issue of the Trinity Reporter inspired me to share my latest news with you." Your Secretary hopes that some of this news also inspires more such newsy letters from the rest ofyou guys. Keep in touch. By the time you read this in the Reporter all the news will be in on the 1990-91AlumniDrive.AsofearlyJune, we were within three of our donorparticipation goal of 44 (the Class year number) and less than a thousand dollars short of the fund goal of $8,500. I hope we made it. Not a bad record for a non-reunion year. Thank you for your generosity. Remember, fellow classmates, that our 50th Reunion is less than three years away. Let's try for as close to 100 percent attendance as possible. Our 40th and 45th were great. I'm sure the 50th will be even better.

Since you old retirees rarely send in news, you'll have to put up with my doings. YOUR SECRETARY attended his second WWII reunion of the U .S. Naval Armed Guard. For those uninformed, we were the unsung heroes of WWII, the Navy gun crews on merchant ships that delivered you safely abroad and kept the supplies coming to you so that you could win the War andgetall the glory. Now it's your turn to pay us back. Our meeting was held in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, and at Pier 5 stands the ugly duckling, the SS John W. Brown, one of the 2,700 Liberty Ships that sailed through subinfested waters to keep you guys in the War. Private donations (not one tax dollar) have put this ship in working order and paid for all its WWII guns so that it is exactly as it was during the Big War so those on the East Coast can

be reminded for generations to come the important part our merchant marine and their Navy gun crews played in winning the War. A similar Liberty Ship is on the West Coast and sails out of San Francisco. I was pleased to see that FRANK LAMBERT has become a life member of this Project Liberty Ship. Perhaps other '49ers would like to join Frank and me and keep this WWII memorial in ship shape. Drop me a line. Meanwhile, two more of our classmates say they have retired. RAY TRIBELHORN retired from Pratt & Whitney last April, and he and Cynthia are now fully motivated to finish their "log cabin" at Georgetown Lake in Montana. HARRY BRACKEN retired from McGill after 25 years and divides his time between New York and the Netherlands where he is an adjunct member of the philosophy department at the University of Groningen and engaged in research. That doesn't sound like retirement to me, Harry. How about changed careers? An article in the May 10, 1991Hartford Courant describes EDWARD RICHARDSON's uncovering of a "forgotten arboretum." When JACK HALE '70, executive director of the Knox Parks Foundation, wanted to know which trees in the city's Elizabeth Park were especially valuable, Ed volunteered to take on the task of finding out. In the Park's more than 90 acres, he has discovered 110 varieties oftrees, some of them highly unusual, including 17 that apparently are the largest of their kind in the state. Sorry, that's it. We'll just keep moving closer to the front of the magazine and before you know it, we'll join the half-century group.

An impressive 25 percent of the

Class of '51 showed up for the 40th Reunion and spent a bright and boozy weekend swapping lies and showing off pictures of the grandchildren. In general it seemed a particularly fit and sassy group, now on the safe side ofmidlife crisis and a little grayer than 40 years ago, but otherwise remarkably unchanged. Retiring Class President LOU RADEN informed us in his farewell address that statistically our class was doing very well in terms of the actuarial tables (maybe because ours was the first age group to get the no-smoking message in time). After a hard fought but generally honest political campaign, southpaw FRED KIRSCHNER was elected the new Class President. (Most Americans have to settle for only one left-handed president, but we get two.) TIM CUTTING and ALEC SIMPSON were elected vice presidents for the East and West coasts, respectively, (presumably the vice presidential duties are so onerous we have to split the burden). The above listed was elected secretary simply because he wasn't paying attention. An amazing number (it seems to me) of the returning classmates have already retired and.are enjoying their leisure in marvelously creative endeavors. The most popular option seems to be starting your own business, so maybe they aren't all that different from us poor grunts still chained to the

Zealand; JOHN SAUMS, who retired (in 1989) from the purchasing department at the University of Connecticut; and ARTHUR ROCHE, who has setup "Interplanetary Headquarters" for his new company in Longwood, Fla. Warner Behley has taken early retirement, but is doing part-time consulting for Hagglunds Denison. When he wrote, he and Shirley were looking forward to the birthoftheirfirstgrandchild in the summer. John Klingler notes, "My first great experience was being graduated from Trinity. My second greater experience was teaching young people in Simsbury. My third and greatest experience is using the facilities of the alumni of Trinity and still tutoring young people in Simsbury." Last May, Bob Richmond enjoyed two weeks of hiking in England with members ofthe Wilmington (Del.) Trail Club. BOB BARROWS '37 and his wife, Hannah, were part of the group, also. The campus looks fabulous-more like a small town than a college-and is well worth a visit. Be sure to bring some open-mouthed wonder so you can really appreciate it. Any and all news, as well as complaints and mean-spirited gossip will be gratefully accepted by YOUR CLASS SECRETARY. Class Agent: David F. Edwards

Amid the hurly-burly, the Class remembered to deliver a fat check for $72,000 to the Alumni Fund, a new record for 40th reunions, and a distinct feather in the cap for those merry men who worked so hard to winkle the money out of us. (We should all of us feel proud, no kidding.) In adclition to the members of the Class already mentioned, others who showed up for the fun and games included (in order of their arrival): WAYNE LOVELAND, JOHN BURBANK, HOLLIS BURKE, MAC JACOBY, EDWARD D.

Reunion weekend last June was a great success, by all measurement. Over 50 classmates came back, and many had good tales to tell. The weather was fine and the College gets better and better at reunions. The highlight, for me, was the presentation of our Class Gift (other than the $64,306 record-breaking gift and 61 percent total involvement) - the bronze Ban-

tam rooster. This proud bird now resides in Smith Alumni House, and perfectly typifies the spirit ofTrinity, and our Class. Among those who attended: BERT SCHADER looked great, attended with his wife and son, MARK '90. His custom, fine art framing business is doing well, growing each year as the word spreads. CHARLIE STICKA came only for the clam/lobster bake Friday night, but had to leave to celebrate his 35th wedding anniversary out of the Hartford area. JOHN LIMPITLAW, starting his third year at Yale Divinity School, described for me his first sermon. This all happened at Christ's Church in Easton, Conn.JohnwasinvitedbyDONBURR, the rector of that church, to give the Sunday sermon. He clidn't tell me what his theme was, but his wife, Susan, said it was a great success. John took a semester's leave to work on the cliocesan capital fund-raising campaign for Camp Washington and a new conference center. Don Burr, John told me, went on to the General Theological Seminary in New York after graduation and was ordained in the Episcopal Church in 1959. He served several churches in the East, and also went into business on the side. He was employed by the Howe Furniture Company in Norwalk, Conn. until 1990, when he retired from business and became a "roving priest" for his diocese. Roving priests serve as interim ministers for parishes who are searching for a new, permanent minister. He presently serves the Easton, Conn. church, and gave John his maiden moment in the pulpit. Another minister at Reunion was BILL ZITO, minister of the Congregational Church in Watertown, Conn. He also preached at the Chapel service on Reunion weekend. JAY SIVITZ still practices medicine and spends his spare time scuba diving in waters near his home in Florida. RODNEY SMITH now lives in San Francisco and sells "earthquake" insurance. Good spot. BILL EASTBURN was awarded an alumni medal at Reunion for his distinctive work in law and social work in Buck's County, Pa. NED MONTGOMERY was awarded the coveted Eigenbrodt Trophy, the College's highest honor for lifetime work, in finance at the Mellon Bank, and in service to the College. CARL (BUNNY) MEISTER was at Reunion and told me that his two sons, Jay and Billy, came in first and second in the last Maryland Hunt-Cup Steeplechase race. ROBERT BRIGGAMAN has become chairman of the department of dermatology, North Carolina Hospitals in Chapel Hill, N.C. He celebrated his 30th wedding anniversary last year, with his wife, Irene Taluckie. They have two children, both out of college and working. DAVE GINNS writes that his daughter, Debbie, recently graduated from Pepperdine Law School, and that another daughter, Randi, is soon to be married. LAURENCE SMITH, who lives in Denver, recently published a book called The Nature ofHuman Feelings.

JOHN TULK writes that he runs the Dakota County Social Services organization in Apple Valley, Minn. RON BOSS sent a note to say he has three grandchildren, and is neither fat nor bald! And no reunion would be complete without GERRY PAULEY. He is as funny as ever, and, with PETER LUQUER, ran a brilliant fund-raising campaign.

I want to thank all of my classmates and the numerous other alumni for their encouragement an d support during the recent election. I consider myself very fortunate, and will serve as an alumni representative and advocate on the Board of Trustees. Please note my new mailing address above ; my dance card has changed some. I received a delightful note from DAVE ELLIOTT written high above the Caribbean en route from Caracas to Amsterdam to protect Procter & Gamble's interest at the World Free Trade Conference, among other places. He reports that his wife is fine , but wishes that he would travel less. His daughter is now a sales executive, and his son may be headed to law school. He promises to interrupt his travel long enough to come back to the Reunion and will bring his own soap. Word is in from BILL MORRISON from Palo Alto, Calif. that sales of his first book , The Pre-Negotiation Planning Book, continue to be very strong. He is writing another book for the publishers in the very near future, and now has seven grandchildren. JOHN WOODWARD writes that his daughter, Carolyn Grant,justmade John a grandfather for the first time; his son, Henry, is working on his Ph.D. at the University ofTexas; and his son, Gordon, is entering his junior year at Harvard. JOHN PARNUM, now retired, is proud to announce that his daughter, Laura, will be entering Trinity in September 1991, Class of'95, and hopes to add strength to Trinity's cross country and track team. After 31 years in the advertising depar tment of Merck, Sharp & Dohme Pharmaceuticals, John is taking early retirement including writing a book on snakes and motion pictures entitled, "The Slithering Screen." Hope to see you at the reunion, John, but leave the snakes at home. JIM KENEFICK writes that he still lives in Guilford, Conn. and practices law in New Haven; that his oldest daughter is now a practicing attorney inN ew Haven; and that his middle son is a Connecticut state trooper. I can just envision the situation where Jim is arrested by h is son, represented by his daughter and the outcome is a hung jury. Seriously, Jim, tell your son what a wonderful guy I am and that I

GEORGE ENEPEKIDES and his wife, Pappee, journeyed to the States last June to enroll his children in summer school. Daughter,Anna (17), went to Harvard, andson,John (15), went to Northfield Mount Hermon. They planned to spend a day in Hartford, mainly to visit Trinity.

Ubi orci sunt? Where the hell are they? Well , one of our brilliant classmates, DAVID E. BELMONT, is still utilizing that great mind of his by translating from Greek, "For Stage of Sophocles! King Oedipus." This opus was ready for stage readings in April. Next year, there will be a full stage production. Dave has undertaken this work in the memory of Prof. J .A. Notopoulos. JON A. REYNOLDS retired from the U.S. Air Force on Oct. 1, 1990 after serving this country for nearly 31 years. He has joined United Engineers & Constructors as a vice president for international operations in Philadelphia, Pa. His responsibilities include the operation of Chemical Munitions Destruction Facility at Johnston Atoll in the South Pacific. LEIGHTON H. (HOWDY) MCILVAINE is now living at 1 Ridgeview Ave., Greenwich , Conn. 06830. He married Karin Rose on April 27, 1991 aboard The Enticer in the waters off Greenwich. The marriage ceremony was performed by a member of the clergy, not the captain of The Enticer. His daughter, Carter,attended the bride as maid ofhonor, and his son , Reed, was his father's best man.

- - , Richard W. Stockton 121 Whittredge Rd. Summit, N.J . 07901 Here we go again! About a month

ago, I thought ahead and began to make some calls for these notes. All of my notes were in order when I was visited by my old frien d, procrastination. So, while I will still make the deadline of July 26, I am paying the price by having to do hard labor during the most severe heat wave in two decades. So, full of promises on our next series of notes, let me share with you some of the information that I have been able to gather in the last several weeks. The near Croix de Guerre award goes uncontested to STEVE LAZARUS. A few months ago, Steve was just minding his business when he received a cordial invitation from the United States government. It seems that word of his medical proficiency had spread to Washington and his talents were requested to be made available in Saudi Arabia. Steve actually was sent on his way, but fortunately went no further than WestPoint and Walter Reed Hospital. We're proud of you, Steve, and we're happy that you are home safe and sound again. Steve and his bride, Helen , of two-and-a-half decades or so can be found from time to time in the bucolic Hartford oasis called Trinity visiting either Bill '93 or Sasha '94. JERRY FARNSWORTH reports that he is working "all the time." Jerry is the owner of a Comprehensive Business Services outlet, a franchise company that provides bookkeeping, tax and consulting services. As you may know, Jerry is a C.P.A. and has worked in this area since Trinity. My bureau chief in Philadelphia, BOB JOHNSON, reports th at all is well with him and his family. He also reports that MICKEY LLOYD is having an exceptionally busy summer commuting to and from Pittsburgh as he has assumed the additional du ties of running a Pittsburgh-based subsidiary of the Philadelphia Contributionship. Mickey's home life has kept him busy ... LISA '88 recently tied the knot in August and TED '94 is playing varsity tennis in his sophomore year. That's not too shabby. Bobby further tells me that DAVE GOLAS will be a frequent Trinity visitor- as he has been for the past 30 years-as Dave, Jr. '92 will be playing his final year of football at Trinity. Dave's younger brother, John, a high school senior, may follow suit next year. BARRY ROYDEN writes from Buenos Aires where he has lived for the past three years. He, Brenda, and, ifl counted correctly, their four daughters have all enjoyed the South American experience. Well, some of you may recall that Barry was the deserving recipient of the proud papa award at our 25th as h e was able to show off the youngest child. That was Michelle, at the time about two years old. Well, it seems that this old rooster knows how to say "I love you" in more languages than most of us as Michelle was joined by Suzanne a couple ofyears later, and yep, you guessed it, Barry and Brenda had yet another little Royden. This time it is a boy,Jonathan Barry, who is now one-and-a-half. How's his jump shot, Barry? How about that, sports fans ... four great girls and finally J .B.! You know, Barry, Trinity is now co-ed and can accept your young ladies, too.

Amy, Barry and Brenda's first born, is entering Harvard Law this fall , and Lisa just graduated from college and is hard at work looking for her first job. NEIL COOGAN tells us that he has become a granddad for the second time ...and we're so young stilL He's still talking about taking the en tire family to Hawaii for Christmas. The trouble with a vacation like that is a) it's tough to beat it the next year, and b) you're spoiling it for the rest of us. Neil has been with The Travelers for his entire career with t he exception of a couple of years spent at Hamilton Standard. Neil sees LOU IS GERUNDO frequently as they are fellow employees at The Travelers. JACK WARDELL can't be too busy as a dentist these days. He reports that his handicap has moved to a miserly four. That's not even funny. Jack and his business are doingjust fine . He and his wife recently returned from a threeweek camping trip out West that included a tour of the Grand Canyon. He further reports that his youngest child - his only boy - weighs 220 pounds and holds several weight-lifting world records. Now wait a minute! Or should I say, weight a minute! In a brief conversation with JOHN BASSETT, he tells me that he has just been named to be the chair of Colorado State Peer Review Organization for dentistry. Having served on a hospital board, I can tell you that this is quite an honor and is offered only to the best in the business. Way to go, Bass! By now, you've all been reading about the newest expansion team in theNHL, the San Jose Sharks. Ifyou've been reading carefully, you know that MATT LEVINE is running the show out there. More to the point, he's having entirely too much fun for a man his age. Matt and I talked at length the other day and he filled me in on all the details. Basically, while doing some consulting for the Bund family ofMinneapolis, former owners of the North Stars, the idea of a start-up team in San Jose developed. One thing led to another and Matt wound up being the Main Man. The Sharks will play their first two years at the Cow Palace in San Francisco while their own rink is being built in San Jose. Matt tells me that the first few years are already sold out and this looks like a barnburning success. What a super way to keep from growing old-we envy you, Matt. I'll even bet any takers that the Sharks win Lord Stanley's Cup before my beloved, but snakebitten Rangers. And to stick with the sports thing for just a little bit longer-and you won't believe this ... KENNY LYONS, our Iron Man, has just competed in, and more to the point, completed participating in The Empire State Games. Now, ifyou'renotamemberofthejock cognoscenti, the Empire State Games aren't entered into lightly ... even the Masters categories. Anyway, our hero not only entered, but finished . All kidding aside, this is one heck of an achievement. Ken swam three events, the 50 and 100 freestyle and the 50 backstroke. He won the bronze in both freestyle events and the silver in the backstroke. Not only does Kenny have to be in sensational shape, but the inner guy has got to be feeling pretty

fantastic as well. An all-star Bantam bow to you, Kenny, my boy. You're making this 53-year-old feel pretty good. Think I'll get up and crack a brewsky in your honor. Judy, Ken's wife, continues as executive director of a major not-for-profit fund-raising organization in Albany. And, there's more ...Kenny and Judy's daughter, Elisabeth (Connecticut College '85 and Georgetown Law '88), is getting married (past tense when you read this) to Doug Mangel (another attorney). They are both in private practice and are living in Washington, D.C. CHARLIE MACKALL and I talk from time to time. His real estate business continues to be a recipient of Northeastus Paraluxus. It's a tough disease and a lot of our organizations seem to have a rather severe case of it...mine certainly does. Keep your head down, Charlie, we're about to turn the corner. MAL BARLOW may be the hardest Trin man to get a hold of in our class. He continues in his job as international director of government affairs for Smith Kline French and travels about half of the time. (Those must be the times that I always call him.) On the semi-serious side, his job sounds terrific. He spends a good deal of time in South Africa and is a willing and knowledgeable source on that region's highly complex socio-economic system. Not surprisingly, Mal tells apartheid stories that aren't exactly like those we read and hear about on national media. Mal's son sounds like his dad ... he graduated from Trinity a couple ofyears ago and is now working at the U.S. Treasury. KARL KOENIG writes that he has continued to develop his skills in fme art photography and has successfully translated his passion into published and even sold work. Karl's Triffity daughter (LISA '84), is a news producer for ABC in the Moscow bureau; her twin (?), Lynn (Colgate '84), is about to make Karl a grandfather; and Karl's son, Nathan (Harvard '88), is getting his law degree at Berkeley. The family toddler, Julia (Colgate '94), hasn't made her professional plans known yet. I think that Karl has just earned a great big "attaboy." Nice job, Karl. JOHN WINANS writes from Grosse Pointe and tells us that he joined Dean Witter in September '90 after what I remember as a long association with Pro-Bache, a.k.a. Prudential Securities. CHARLIE BRIDLEY has moved back to California after leaving it seven years ago. He is the logistics manager at Lockheed Missiles & Space Co. and is working on Lockheed's significant portion of Space Station Freedom. Daughter, Cathy, is now a junior at West Texas State. Earlier this summer, I was wandering around my front yard in 'Sconset (Nantucket) when MIKE and Barbara VARBALOW drove by. Now there's a guy who looks prosperous! Mike has a very successful law practice in Moorestown, N.J. but manages to spend a lot more time than should be allowable "on the isle." Owning one's own plane helps just a little. Mike looked great and we told a couple of Trinity stories. My own good news is that I actually

have an employed child. Sallie (HobartWilliam Smith '89) is teaching fourth grade at Kent Place School in Summit. RICK '91 may be employed by the time you read this. At this writing, he is sending out scores of C. V.s. And maybe the most exciting news to me is that our youngest, Bob '94, has transferred to Trinity and is a sophomore. That's neat-more super times in Hartford, more games-and perhaps even an occasional cocktail with old and dear friends. Please write and let me or the College know how you are doing. I wish you all good health and lots of happiness. Hope to see you "on the walk." Class Agents: John D. LaMothe, Jr. Raymond J. Beech

Bill Kirtz 26Wyman St. Waban, Mass. 02168 Where to begin? Our 30th Reunion was people, award and event-packed enough to boggle YOUR HUMBLE SCRIBE's never-strong mind, but here goes. More than 60 classmates, plus a goodly assortment of spouses and friends assembled to greet familiar faces and to welcome a few who hadn't been 'Neath the Elms for a couple of decades. Prominent among the latter group was BOB (Stranski) WOODWARD, who, tanned, fit and Addidas-clad, regaled us with stories of his progress from corporate America to the Berkeley counter-culture to his present perch as freelance writer-photographer for such magazines as Trilogy and Snow Country. Based in Bend, Ore. , Bob has helped NBC and USA Today with Olympics coverage and has just published a Sports Illustrated book on mountain biking. In a post-Reunion note, Bob assures us that he'll be present at our 40th (What about the 35th? Doesn't that come first?) and makes the excellent point that our Class had "some terrific ladies present and some very lucky lads to be associated with them. A bumper crop." Among Bob's dapper fellow St. Anthony Hailers were the safari-jacketed ARCHIE THOMSON, along with KIT ILLICK, GUY DOVE and JOE HUMPHREYS. There was talk, but no sight, of JEFF HUDSON; we're putting him on the project list for the 35th. All of us were pleased and proud to be on hand to inaugurate our major gift: the beautiful THOMAS D. REESE Dining Room in Smith House. Tom's widow, Candy, and one of their three daughters, Courtenay, were there to hear Tom Gerety speak of Tom's wellremembered dedication to his Class and College. Courtenay, a Wellesley graduate, has left a Boston TV berth to attend Columbia Journalism School. After much Reunion muttering about how young some of our classmates look, and what part of their soul they might have sold to the Devil to maintain themselves in such fashion, we've decided to give Dorians (named after that Wesleyan grad whose face stayed unlined while his portrait reflected the real him) to Class President

GEORGE LYNCH, who, with trustee and contribution-extractor extraordinaire DOUG TANSILL, won the doubles tennis competition; NEIL NICHOLS, who captured the threemile fun run, and the distinctly nongrandfatherly KEN CROMWELL, who won golf honors. Another much-tooyoung-looking grampa is PETER KREISEL, who got little of the credit he deserves for inspiring such a recordbreaking Class gift. Anyone else who feels he qualifies for this recognition may submit hair transplant and postliposuction pictures for consideration. It seems that every other one of us has an offspring with a Trinity connection. From the 1991 graduating Class alone came DICK DRUCKMAN's (Dick is the new strategic planning v.p. for Bristol-Myers Squibb)second Phi Beta Kappa Triffity child , STEVEN; RED RAMSEY's son , JOHN; Peter Kreisel's step-son , ALEX BLUM, an outstanding rower; DICK SCHNADIG's son, IAN; MIKE KAUFF's son , RUSSELL; and Doug Tansill ' s daughter , PEYTON. Many of these young people路 were on hand for the clambake and other events, as was trustee and Pulitzer Prize-nominee PETER KILBORN, whose son, DAVID, is Class ofl990; and JOE COLEN's step-daughter, Jennifer Leach '92. Non-Trinity grads in 1991 include BRAD KETCHUM's daughter, Amy (Hollins College). Brad reports that his youngest, Simeon, may be in the Trinity Class of2000. PHIL LOVELL, now general manager of the San Jose, Calif. office of Turner Construction Co., notes that his daughter, Alison, is a new Barnard College graduate. RICK PHELPS' son , Gus, a Kent School graduate, entered Trinity in the fall. Also moving into the college ranks are ANDY FORRESTER's daughter , Holly , Loomis-Chaffee/ Hamilton; BOB MARVEL's son, Jackson , Brooks/Bates; and my son, Jake Hooker, Milton/Dartmouth. WARREN SIMMONS' daughter, Rollin, has entered the Milton pipeline, as a seventh grader. And FRANK MORSE says his son, Peter, fmishing up at a country day school in Connecticut, may be interested in Trinity for '92. Reunion snapshots : DICK FORREST garnering yet another award for '61, for traveling the longest distance (Tokyo)... DICK GADD, retired from the Air Force, dropping Ollie North's name but, despite JOHN HENRY's skillful questioning, shrugging off a recent report in The Nation that he's still involved in sending weapons to Central America ... KERRY FITZPATRICK clinching his re-election as class v.p. by retiring at 10 Friday night (he said he'd been up late Thursday! ) ... VINNIE STEMPIEN agreeing to serve with Peter as class agent. News received in the alumni office: ANDREW CANTOR is president of the Montgomery Bar Association for 1991. Last April, PAUL DEVENDI'ITIS spoke on neo-Nazism at the University of Toledo (Ohio) and Adelphi University. LastMay,NEALHAYNlE'sdaughter, Betty, graduated in the honors program from St. Mary's College of Maryland.

LEONARD SWATKIEWICZhas become the vice president of sales/marketing at Muellermist Co. in Broadview, Ill. He's currently living in Lake Burrington Shores, Ill. Class Agents: Peter Kreisel Vincent R. Stempien The Rev. Arthur F. "Skip" McNulty Calvary Church 315 Shady Ave. Pittsburgh, Pa. 15206 The only news that I received this quarter has been from DON PINE who reported that he and FRANK CUMMINGS enjoyed talking about college and medical school days at their 25th reunion of the Class of 1966 from the University of Virginia School of Medicine. The reunion was held in Charlottesville in May. Don lives in Minneapolis. Speaking of reunions, can you believe that our 30th Reunion is just around the corner? Block out the time now to attend! Iknowthatallofus who attended our 25th are looking forward to returning. A good time was had by all! Please send me some news when you have a minute. Class Agents: Thomas F. Bundy, Jr. Judson M. Robert G. Alexander Creighton 117 Lincoln Rd. Lincoln,Mass.01773 STAN MARCUSS dropped me a note in June to Jet us know that his daughter, Elena, who has just graduated from the National Cathedral School, is breaking tradition to begin Duke University this fall. CHARLIE MCGILL's family is summering in Nantucket while he signs up to be Trinity's next alumni fund chairman! Congratulations, Charlie, and we, as usual, stand behind you to make the 1991-92 Trinity campaign the best ever.

Charlie follows SCOTT REYNOLDS' footsteps in this position. ln chatting with Scott about his experience, he said, in his own quiet way, that it "wasn't too great a year." However, the record shows that the campaign, just past, yielded record participation and dollar amounts. Congratulations, Scott. What's next? Summer at the Jersey Shore! Scott did tell me that he conversed with his Montclair neighbor, DICK CHANG, who is slugging it out with a tight budget for the National Episcopal Church this year-means Jess travel for Dick. But the real news is that Dick and Dee's second daughter, Hanna, is now a plebe cadet at the U.S. Military Academy. She graduated from Montclair High this year where she excelled in tennis. JOHN PITCAIRN and I spoke since my mention of his name in the last Reporter issue. He and Robin are well and in Dallas. John is sales manager

for HMC Software which is a maker of software packages for the health and fitness industry. Johnny is enjoying this job greatly since it is related to something that he enjoys doing: keeping fit. Those of you who were at our 25th remember that he looked the part from the movie, "Cocoon." The day I talked with him , he was doing a triathlon and he recently qualified in Pittsburgh to run in the Boston Marathon next year. SAM FOSTER reports that he and J .L. are watching their outflow until the economy in Massachusetts gets better. Hard times have kept orthodontics at the bottom of the priority list for many of his patients, as you might guess. MIKE SCHULENBERG mentioned that his name may be in the ring again for a bishop's spot. This time it's San Diego. I believe that, despite the overwhelming attraction that Red Wing has for Mike, his call to duty might just push him to it, if called. On Saturday evening, July 13, SAM WINNER stumbled into a restaurant in nearby Carlsbad, Calif. and was greeted, very much to his surprise, by 100+ of his friends who wanted to get a jump on his 50th year (his actual b'day was July 30). Sam's partner, a good friend, and wife, Julie Korsmeyer, put the affair together. Son, Austin, daughter, Mo, and granddaughter, Maureen, were there to cheer, too. Elizabeth and I were also participants in this surprise. After a wonderful dinner, a winner roast took place, to the delight of all , including a now silverhaired Sam who took all the jest in mucho macho mellow fashion. BOB BOND sent a quiet note to the "Long Walk" to tell us that his son , Chris, is scheduled to enroll in this year's freshman class, and listed his current phone numbers as: 415-8391786 (0 ); 415-547-1596 (H ). Bob, how about a louder one to tell us what you and the rest of your family are up to in the city-by-the-sea. In a note received in the alumni office THOMAS FRASER writes that Fraser Dante Ltd. continues to sell classic cars "that guys love." Also sent to the alumni office is the news that KEN SOUTHWORTH has opened his own office for the general practice oflaw. I hope you will consider being unselfish and let your classmates know what's currently relevant in your lifeor whatever, by dropping me a note even before you re-cycle this edition of the Trinity alumni magazine. Please forward your thoughts on to me at either my home: 117 Lincoln Rd., Lincoln, Mass. 01773, or my office: Metropolitan Fiber Systems, One Tower Lane, Suite 1600, Oakbrook Terrace, Ill. 60181.

Two classmates have news to share with us for this issue. YOUR SECRETARY talked recently with BEN BARBER. Ben is now project director for the Washington-based Refugee Policy Group which provides consultative services and policy analysis on the plight of refugees world-wide. Ben has just returned from Cambodia and is completing a report on repatriation of Cambodian refugees. The RPG will soon be assessing the U.N.'s response to refugees and displaced persons. Ben continues to cover the nation's capital for the London Observer and the Melbourne Sunday Age. His older daughter will be graduating from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale and his older son will be entering prep school in the fall. Ben reports, as well, that his wife is now in nursing school. Also from Washington , LARRY BORY writes that his older daughter, Martha, completed her junior year at the University of Geneva. The entire family met her in London during spring break and they visited Trinity College, Oxford. In March , Larry was promoted to senior legislative counsel for the American Consulting Engineers Council. That's all for now and remember to keep me posted on news of note.

Joseph A. Hourihan, Esq. 18 Tumble Brook Cir. Somers, Conn. 06071

YOUR NEW CLASS SECRETARY greets you and solicits all information, rumor, dirt or whatall which you wish to share with us about yourselves, your families or fellow classmates. We thank TOM "GRUNDY" HART for his fine efforts the last several years, and we will try to live up to his high standards (or his low fictional standards, as the case may be). It was hard to believe that we were outofTrinity for 25 years, but after our Reunion, ft is official. It was great fun for all who were able to attend part or all of our Reunion Weekend. The festivities started on Thursday evening with a dinner buffet cruise on the Connecticut River. The returning alumni came from far and near: SANDY EVARTS, Reno's resident psychologist; RICK RISSEL, the Bay area's only pedia t ric dentist ; LINDSAY DORRIER, Virginia'sDemocratickingmaker (he vows to make this country bi-lingual- English and drawl); SANDY MASON from the catacombs of the libraries of Michigan; BILL EAKINS, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church in

Hartford, from whence we learn through The Hartford Courant that Bill has been very active with the (k)naves, the church's unique theater group which has knaves performing in the nave of the church; DENNIS DIX and TONY BOUGERE from Avon (Tony spent all night looking for the "dancing girls" whom he met on his last cruise - a salmon fishing trip in BostonHarbor);Trinity'sownRANDY LEE;YaleandTrinity'sBOBSTEPTO; TIM MCNALLY and others who kept the boat's 4'x 4' bar area well crowded. The next day brought an opportunity to play one of the top 20 public golf courses in the Hartford area- (the 21st has been reconverted to a cow pasture) -picturesque Goodwin Park. Your incoming Secretary was to have played with BILL SCHWEITZER, but he was a no-show, some excuse connected with baseball expansion and his job as attorney to the American League - this guy even put me on hold to talk with some guy named Bobby Brown- Brown, you would have thought he could have come up with a more inventive name! I did play with old teammates Rick Risse! and JIM BELFIORE, and it was the only time I ever took more shots than those two guys. TOM BEERS won, but rumor has it that MASON ROSS can still beat him. Friday evening brought more fun and returnees, including HENRY HEFFNER, Tim McNally, BILL KUNKELMAN, JOHNMARTINEAU, GEORGE LARSON, TOBY HALL and DWAIN STONE. FORD BARRETT also snuck in with a police escort something about his job with the U.S. Comptroller making him a wee bit unwelcome in downtown Hartford. BRIAN GRIMES and CHARLIE BARRINGER showed up, but refused to reveal an address from whence either had come. Surprisingly, neither did JIM SHEPARD; even more surprisingly GEORGE BIRD, WILSON BRAUN and Tom Hart did reveal addresses (albeit, probably fake). JOE MOORE made a special point of telling everyone his idyllic home setting, inviting all to visit, and then refusing to give out an address or telephone number. DAVE PEAKE and his family spent most of the time shopping. Dave was showing off his recently-acquired AARP card. It was interesting to chat with LLOYD SIGMAN about practicing law in the Smokies; and also to see VIC SCHOEN and RICH KREZEL in non-adversarial roles. George Larson, DAVE TRACHTENBERG, NICK HARRIS , MALCOLM MARSHALL and JOHN SNYDER also partook of the evening's festivities . BILL BRACHMAN arrived fresh from the Bills' championship, and 100 college basketball games the last winter, only to proceed to run all weekend. MIKE DAWES arrived, his usual quiet, shy, introverted self! TOM CHAPPELL brought the newest in health-found snacks to all of the tents- pine needles in a goosenberry sauce. WALT SIEGEL and DAVE CHARLESWORTH provided the "Medusa" surveillance, only to turn the task over to ANDY WHITTEMORE on Saturday night. Once a spook, always a spook! Saturday morning brought hangovers and a Class meeting - and the combination produced our new Class

officers: BOB POWELL as president and Mike Dawes and George Bird as reunion co-chairpersons for our 30th. We would be remiss if we did not thank our outgoing co-chairmen for a job well done - Rick Risse! and Randy Lee. The Reunion parade culminated in the alumni awards ceremony at the Ferris Athletic Center. We were all proud as our classmates stepped forward to receive their well-deserved awards: Bill Schweitzer - an Alumni Award for Excellence. Bill's contributions to Trinity, including his current term as trustee, have been ongoing and this award could not have gone to a more deserving party; Tom Chappell - the Gary McQuaid Award. Tom's business success is obvious and everpresent. Yet he has changed his lifestyle only in an introspective manner, recently receiving his doctorate from Harvard Divinity School, but still remaining Tom Chappell - or "Tom of Maine!" It was good to see DON KRAUT and JOE HODGSON, both of whose paths I had directly and indirectly crossed in the last few years, as well as FRANK VINCENT and his wife, JOAN '86 - a Trinity grad through the Individualized Degree Program. Additional local attendees included TONY YABLONSKI, LEE NOLAN and KEN GEREMIA. The neighboring states contributed SCOTT PLUMB, ALEX MORROW,COLINSTUDDSandBILL ROOS. Amherst, New Hampshire returned both ROD VAN SCIVER and SCOTT SUTHERLAND - is the town big enough for both? The New Jersey contingent included LARRY HENRIQUES, SANDY LENHART and MARTY GALL, youthful appearance, dark hair and all. BOB BAKER returned soundingjustlikeJ.R. Ewing, while CHRIS DUNHAM sported the "Great Gatsby" slicked-turn hair style. Our resident Russian expert SAM KASSOW showed deference to his elders, which unfortunately included all the rest of our class. My apologies to 路any returning classmate I have overlooked - not an easy task to decipher the penmanship! On the non-reunion front we learn that JON OCKO is continuing to teach Chinese history at NCSU and Chinese law at Duke University. He reports that son, Matt (Yale '90), is working in the Silica Valley, while Peter is attending Northwestern, and Aggie's working as editor of NCSU's office of international programs' newsletter. PETER PERHONIS reports that he has received a grant to study Plato's Republic at Agnes Scott College in Atlanta. He also reports that his adaptation of a Yugoslavian play called "Stakeout-at Godots" premiered in Washington in April. The play is about what Godot was doing the day everyone was waiting for him! Peter, if legitimate, congratulations; if a put-on, still congratulations. RAY EGAN sent word of his assumption of the new position of executive vice president of the Bristol-Myers Squibb pharmaceutical and nutritional group . We have also heard from GEORGE "The Chief' ANDREWS, who reports that his daughter, Susie, will be married on Aug. 10, 1991 to Tucker Carlson '92. His daughter, Molly, is a member of the Class of '92 at Trinity.

Lil and he are loving St. Andrew's School and Florida. Now if we could only hear from some of our more illustrious missing slumni: CAPTAIN BEN TRIBKEN, Smith College's favorite MIKE MOONVES, BOB DUNN a .k.a. N.D .T .B.F., our famous musician CRAIG DOERGE, STEVE BORNEMANN (is he running the globe?), TOM SEDDON and ARNIE SCHWARTZMAN. Please keep those cards and letters coming!

CIB88 Agent: Robert F. Powell, Jr. Jeffrey Fox Fox & Company, Inc. 34DaleRd. Avon, Conn. 06001 Gentlemen: start your Reunion diets now! Please join your friends and classmates for sll or any part of our 25th Reunion, June 11-14,1992. !twill be a great time, as already many of the Class of '67 have said they were coming. What do Elisabeth Brickley, Christina Davison, Lindsay Davison, Jeffrey Davis, Damian Fox, Catherine Hubbard, Lindsey Miller, Jennifer O'Neal , Alexandra Rice and Jim Woodfin have in common? They are sll students at Trinity (Classes '92-'95), and are sll children of members of the great Class of '67. The fathers, respectively, but not respectfully, are BOB BRICKLEY, JOHN DAVISON , GEORGEDAVIS, YOURLOYALSECRETARY, SEELEY HUBBARD, BOB MILLER, JOHN O'NEAL, NEIL RICE and JOHN LOEB. What do the fathers have in common? Tuition trauma! RICK LUDWIG is flying again. He's been appointed Commander, Carrier Air Wing 15. Naturally, the Navy assumes we know where that is, because in their 14-page announcement, lauding the exploits of our dear Rick, they never mention the place. Unless you know where NAS Miramar's Hangar three is. At any rate, Captain Ludwig (which is just shy of Admiral) is the Navy's choice. Wiggie has received the Legion of Merit, two meritorious service medals, 19 air medals, three Navy commendation medals in combat, and scores ofothermedsls. RickandNancee Ann live in Escondido, Calif. They have a terrific son, Eric. Rick and JIM OLIVER occasionally hoist a few, and both are coming to the Reunion. NICK EDWARDS has added a student to the Trinity potential pool. He is the father ofCharles Nicholas Edwards IV. (That makes Nick a Charles, it appears.) Nick is still teaching transcendental meditation, as he has for the last 18 years. Nick and his family live in Stamford, Conn. If you need to reduce the stress of paying college tuitions, call Nick at 203-327-2517. JESSE BREWER is an associate professor at the University of British Columbia. He is teaching physics, which eliminates most of his classmates as potential students. The Brewers just bought a new house in Vancouver, which they love. 1f Jesse

comes to the Reunion, as he has in the past, he will be vying for the "traveling the farthest" award. If you need to know about the matter of things, give Jess a csll at 604-228-1077. SCOTT MORELAND is also in the baby race (along with Nick Edwards, JACK CURTIS and ALEX LEVI). His wife, Patty, recently gave us Robert Scott (see Births). Scott and his family are living in Cairo, Egypt, working on a project with the Ministry of Education. Scott is a senior economist for the "Research Triangle Institute of North Carolina, which sponsors the project. If Scott comes to the Reunion, it will be to beat Brewer for who travels the farthest. If you are worried about the interest rates on the loans to pay college tuitions, csll Scott at 1-800-Pyramid. GIL CAMPBELL was recently promoted to second vice president and unit head of The Travelers Insurance Co.'s securities department. (Gil is in charge of investments, not the night watchman.) In addition to his secular activities, Gil is now bishop of the Hartford First Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Gil also has the world's longest business card. If you need help with your soul, call Gil at 203-651-0284, or if you need a tip on the stock market, csll him at 203-954-4861. Gil, you are coming to the Reunion, correct? BOB EBINGER continues to protect and preserve. He was recently elected president of the Highland Park Heritage Trust. He is also a board member of the Historical Society of Southem Califomia. We'll get more gossip on Bob for future columns. BILL ROTH, Sue and their three terrific kids are all coming to the Reunion. Bill says he is not gray yet, but only his hairdresser knows. As previously reported, Bill still teaches history at Culver Academy. For those of you who are still stumped on the Magna Carta, csll Bill at 219-842-2370. Bill's on the Reunion Committee, so you may hear from him. Bob Brickley, CLU, CHFC, MAA, BA, was recently published in the GAMA News Jourrwl. One of the editorial comments on Bob tells us he is past president of the Conn. GAMA, a three-time NMA and one-time MAA qualifier. This is worse than figuring out what the Army says about JOHN RAY, or what the Navy says about Ludwig. Bob's article, "Turbulent Times? ... Try Better Balance," was excellent. And the picture they used from the Trinity yearbook was also good. Bob and family are coming to the Reunion. If you are under insured, thinking about retirement, or need financial planning to pay college bills, call Bob at 404-252-3469. We can't give the nod to JACK and Helen CURTIS yet as the newest parents in the Class of '67. (We haven't heard from Alex Levi yet, who is in the running.) But the Curtis family has been enriched by Katherine Grace Curtis (great name), who weighed in at 7lbs. 10 oz. Jack has already begun teaching Katherine the nuances of fine varietal wine making. Leaming how to do LBOs is around nursery-school time. Jack and Helen hope they can make the Reunion. Call them at 1-800Cable Car.

I Headliner I Peter Brinckerhoff '70 of Santa Monica, Cali[ was among the team of television directors who won the 1991 Daytime Emrny Award for best directing. He received the award for his work on NBC's daytime drama "Santa Barbara." After graduating from Trinity College with a B.A. in art history, he went on to earn an M .S.in broadcasting from Boston University's College of Communications in 1972. Since then, he explains, he has worked his way through "the maze of television production" on both the east and west coasts. He has been a full-time director since about 1983, w orking on such soap operas as "Guiding Light," "As the World Turns," "All My C hildren" and "Loving." He also has done commercials and video work for cable television. While working on soap operas was not the future he'd envisioned when he was a student, he says, "It's a nice way to make a living ... I'd like to get to feature films eventually but the road is circuitous."

Grant Supports Gottsch in Study of Eye Disorder

r. John D . Gottsch '72, associate professor of ophthalmology at the Johns H opkins Wilmer Eye Institute, has received a $245,000 grant from Johnson & Johnson to support an investigation of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), the leacling cause ofblindn ess in Americans older than 60. Of the 20 basic research grant recipients in 1991, Gottsch is the only ophthalmologist. If his research proves fruitful, it may lead to beneficial preventative therapy. T he grant supports his project, "Eye Damage from Light and Blood," and will enable him to expand his research into how certain substances in the blood absorb light, forming toxic products called free raclicals that can damage the retina. More than 100,000 Americans have AMD and nearly 16,000 new cases are reported each year. AMD occurs when the macula - the part of the eye's retina used for fine vision such as that needed to read or sew - deteriorates. With the exception oflaser treatment for a minority of people with AMD , th ere is no meclical cure or surgical treatment that can prevent the vision loss or restore sight. Gottsch will explore the connection between free raclical formation and AMD to determine the specific wave lengths of light involved in the phenomena. If this research is successful, preventative therapy such as spectacles, contact lenses or intraocular lenses may be used to filter

the appropriate wavelengths of light. Gottsch is the author of over 40 peer-reviewed articles and serves as a consultant to more than 10 organizations inclucling the American Academy of O phthalmology. After receivin g his B.A. degree from T ri nity, Gottsch earned an M.A. degree from the U niversi ty of South Florida. H e received his meclical degree from the U niversity of South Alabama in 1980 and completed his meclical internship there. H e served his residency in ophthalmology at the Cullen Eye Institute, Baylor College of Meclicine in H ouston. Among the awards he has received is the C ullen Eye Institute Goar Award for research. H e completed a fellowship in cornea and external clisease at W ilmer in 1984, became an assistant professor in 1985 and was appointed associate professor in 1991. In adclition to his responsibilities at Wilmer, Gottsch has served as the chief of ophthalmology of the Wyman Park H ealth Systems based in Baltimore, Md. The grant, awarded through the Focused Giving Program ofJohnson & Johnson, was presented to Gottsch in May at th e Wilmer Institute in Baltimore, Md. Supporting basic research in health care and meclicine, the award program's aim is to promote relationships between university research scientists and those at Johnson & Johnson while opening doors to scientific development.

CAREER CON'IROL:AN OWNER'S MANUAL "What prompted six Wall Street women to leave the corporate nest and start a munidpal bond brokerage? Some say sexism; they call it control. Bv

HOPE LAMBERT

Lambert is a business writer based in New York and author of the book True Creed: What Really Happened irr the Battle for RJR Nabisco. Q uit a job that pays six figures and most people wou ld say you've made a big mistake. Tell them you left to start a company in a fiercely competitive field where profit margins are low and they'd probably add that you need your head examined. Maybe so, but that didn't stop six women with high- level jobs at prestigious Wall Street firms from resigning (in 1990) to start Artemis Capital Group, Inc. , a New York company that specializes in financing municipal bonds. What made the move so surprising was that these women weren't disgruntled corporate cogs or the victims of a shake-up. Each was highly regarded by her employer and left on good terms. Aimee Brown ('74), Deborah Buresh , Roberta Connolly, Phylis Esposito and Robin Wiessmann were vice presidents in various departments at the investment-banking firm of Goldman Sachs & Co. Sandra Alworth was a vice president and municipal bond sales specialist at Citibank. So why did they resign? At first, many in the press suspected sexism, especially after The New York

T11is article is reprimed with permissior1jrom Working Woman magaz ine. Copyright漏 1990by WWT Part11ership .

Times published a story in January on Goldman Sachs's internal problems and its failure to promote women. It's also no secret that in the world of corporate finance, men dominate the upper ranks and few women ever reach the level of partner, a position awarded yearly to o nl y a handful of employees. T he annual salary of a partner can soar into the mi.llions, and the number of executive perks is considerable. At Goldman Sachs, an otherwise enlightened employer, there's just one female partner out of 128. But the women of Artemis deny that sexism or the failure to make partner at Goldman Sachs had anything to do with their leaving. Fearful that the press would jump to conclusions and tum their resignations into a discrimination issue, they hired a public relations firm to set the record straight. They say their decision stemmed from a desire to seize control of their professional lives at a critical point in their careers. "Goldman Sachs was by no means a sweatshop," Connolly says. "The problem was we didn't own Goldman, and when you don 't own a company, you don 't have much say in its direction or your destiny." For now, Artemis's future is promising. The business of financing municipal bonds - the securities that cities sell to raise money for bridges, roads and other infrastructure projects - is expected to increase from $120 billion in 1989 to $140 billion by the mid- 1990s. In addition, many municipal governments have created special "brackets" to give minority- and women-owned enterprises a break. California, the largest single bond issuer after the federal government, has a five percent quota for women-owned "muni" companies. Although there are about 15 such firms in the U .S., Artemis is one of the only full-service operations.

Artemis plans to take of these breaks, but the point out that they don't special treatment to succeed. body does business with me cause I'm a woman," Alworth says. "They do business with because they trust me and I what I'm doing. But if there is advantage that we get because we're women, hell, we've paid our dues." Alworth, for one, started as a secretary when her parents said that any family college funds reserved for her brother. helped pay for her un<aergrduu<lll education, which took six yem night school. "Do you want to know how many letters I've typed?" she asks. The idea for Artemis first up over dinner in October 1 Esposito, 39, and Alworth, 42, who had worked together at Citibank, started by talking the growing muni-bond But the conversation soon to personal frustrations at work. Alworth said she was toying 路 the idea of starting her own but first needed a finance team. Esposito suggested Brown, Buresh, and Wiessmann, all 37, Connolly, 40, and herself.

Brown's Brilliant Career Had Roots at Trinity Alworth agreed to the team, and Esposito recruited her co-workers at Goldman Sachs. For the next three months the group met after hours, putting together a business plan. They hired a lawyer and an accountant and hunted for office space. Connolly came up with the name Artemis, after the Greek virgin goddess of the hunt. When everyone gave notice on Jan. 22, the Goldman Sachs women expected the worst. It's common practice for Wall Street firms to give employees an hour to clear out after they resign. But the women were in such good standing that Goldman Sachs allowed them to stay for three weeks until they moved into their new quarters. "We were very careful about making this move ethically," Brown says. "That's why we put things in motion so quickly. When you provide a service, image is very important. With so many of us leaving at once, we wanted a clean reputation with our clients and Goldman." Freedom, however, costs money. The women had to put up $225,000 each from their personal funds to start Artemis. They even turned down an investment offer from Goldman Sachs, opting instead to accept a $700,000 loan from the firm and retain control of their company. So far, Artemis has racked up an impressive record. The firm has participated in more than 30 deals, including a $500 million generalobligation issue for the state of Califomia, a $250 million issue for New York City Equipment and an $898 million issue for the New York State Dormitory Authority. A typical day at Artemis begins at 7:30 a.m. and ends in the early evening or later, if a proposal is in the works. "I used to work 50 to 55 hours at Goldman," Brown notes. "Now it's more like 65 hours." Longer weeks, however, do not mean higher incomes. Alworth says their salaries are

lower now than they were at their last jobs. Three of the women Buresh, Wiessmann and Brown - are married, while the others say they are involved in long-term relationships. "Everyone's family and friends understand our hours," Alworth says. "We've been in the business a long time. I think what's tough is that we're usually tired when we come home during the week." At work, to avoid the problems of a hierarchy, all of the women have equal status as principals and can perform each other's jobs if necessary. For example, when Alworth isn't busy with the endless paperwork that keeps Artemis in compliance with the regulations of the National Association of Securities Dealers, she might be selling bonds or managing the office's clerical workers. She recently needed four days to attend a wedding, and the other principals covered for her. "As owners, we know we can come and go as we please," Connolly says, "and sometimes we do. But the reality is it's hard work." Like any aggressive firm , Artemis is expanding. Brown manages the new San Francisco office while Esposito, Wiessmann, Buresh and Connolly crisscross the country meeting with bond issuers. There are also no glass ceilings at Artemis, the principals say, even for men. Their first hire was Richard T itus, 52, who had worked for A)worth at Citibank and was brought on in February to sell bonds. Other men will follow. Of the 100 resumes the company has received so far for a variety of positions, 75 were from men in senior positions at larger firms. " In all honesty, it's a lot more work than I anticipated," Brown says. "But the personal growth and knowledge I have about forming a company has been great. Everything has its priceeven control."

In the year since Worlring Woman published its article about Artemis Capital Group, Inc., the investment banking finn specializing in municipal services bas grown substantially and established an impressive track record. The Artemis staff, now at 18, includes 13 women and five men; eleven percent are minorities. The finn offers the full spectrum of services, including the structuring, trading and sales of municipal securities and financial advisory services to municipal issuers. In September 1990, Worlring Woman reported that Artemis bad participated in 30 deals; by mid-October of1991, the number bad jumped to 270 deals for a par amount of over $73 billion. In its first 20 months of operation, the firm bad received 115 appointments to manage deals and bad completed 82 of these for a par amount of $25 billion. This performance bas enabled the finn to rank 19th in the industry league tables. Artemis's liability position- the amount of securities that the company takes for risk - also bad increased. "Our goal bas been to develop long-term relationships with our clients and develop more meaningful roles in structuring and marketing issues," said Aimee S. Brown '74, a co-founding principal of Artemis Capital Group. "We do qualify as a minority finn, but our clients have hired us for our banking expertise and also for our abilities to distribute tax-exempt securities nationwide. "It's been particularly gratifying to come back to Connecticut and do business with the state," Brown said. "Frank Borges (Connecticut state treasurer and Class of'74 member) bas been very instrumental in providing opportunities for emerging firms like Artemis." Brown came to Trinity in 1970, during the second year of coeducation when "they were just putting the letters 'W-0' in front of'MEN' on the bathroom doors." Her undergraduate experience, she said, helped show her how to get along in a male-dominated industry and generally prepared her well for graduate school. Being among the first women to enter traditionally male institutions developed into a pattern for Brown after she graduated from Trinity with a bachelor's degree in urban studies. She went on to attend Northwestern University's Graduate School of Management (now the Kellogg School) where she earned a master's degree in management. There, too, she entered the school in its second year of coeducation. After graduating, Brown sailed into more uncharted territory when she was hired by the Wall Street finn Goldman Sachs & Co. "I was the first professional woman in the department and went through that process of integrating women into the mainstream," said Brown, who worked at Goldman Sachs for over 14 years. "Now, I'm in the process of trying to integrate a women-owned and managed company into the mainstream of the investment banking community." Experiences such as these have taught Brown about "having to make your own way because there aren't societal norms set up for you in terms of achievement." When she was at Trinity, there were very few female role models for the young women undergraduates, Brown recalled. "But the few women professors were close to our age and we could see that we could ac.h ieve professional success ... There was some mentoring." Associate Professor of Economics Andrew J. Gold also was inOuential as a mentor to Brown, guiding her interest in urban studies. As an undergraduate, she undertook an internship with the Capitol Region Council of Governments. "At Trinity, I was exposed to the public sector. My interest in this area bas continued to expand and I've utilized my experience in private industry to benefit the public good." - Martha Davidson

so often at the myriad of IPO luncheons around Beantown. Together with Fran, Pete plays for the Hockey North American amateur team which (as of May) was gunning for the national title they almost won three years ago. Now for the big question. Did you guys win? Will Pete or Fran write us to let us know? Does anyone care? Tune in for the winter issue to find out! An update from SCOTT SMITH informs us that he is completing an M.A. degree in educational administration at Teachers' College, Columbia. More of note to me is that Scott is a relative neighbor of mine and I didn't even know it. He is director of development at the Dwight-Englewood School in my town of Englewood, N.J. And just to show you that when you least expect it you run into a fellow Trinity grad, who should I pass on 52nd and 5th Ave. in NYC one fine July morning, but ROBIN BODELL. Robin, who is vice president in the corporate trust group at First Chicago, was late so we didn't have much time to talk, but all seems well and I'll have more to tell in the next issue next time we meet. More random updates: NELSON PERRY writes of a job change in the not-so-booming field of real estate. In February, Nelsonjoined DeWolfe New England Real Estate in Natick, Mass. If I read this correctly, Nelson won the President's Club Award for his 1990 sales achievements. My only comment is you must be some salesperson to receive this award for 1990 from DeWolfe when you just started on 2/91. I guess you'll just have to write again, Nelson , to clarify this one.

Call it the changing of the guard or the passing of an era, but during our recent Reunion, CHARLIE STEWART retired as class secretary and I agreed to inherit the post (or did KAREN JEFFERS just catch me in a weak moment when I was not yet accustomed to the humidity?). I've got a tough act to follow , given Charlie's sense ofhumor, but I'm ready to give it a try. Now I just need you all to send me plenty of information and it'll be a breeze. Our 15th Reunion has come and gone and I thought we all looked "mahvelous." Congratulations to ROBIE PORTER and Karen Jeffers, class presidents, for organizing #15 and to GERRY LA PLANTE and DON ROMANIK, class agents, for leading us to a class gift that exceeded the goal.

Thanks for all your time and effort. It was a great weekend and over the course ofthe three days, approximately 75 members of our class made an appearance. Trinity needn't worry about future enrollment if Saturday afternoon was an indication. During lunch, the Class of'76 tent served as shade for several dozen adorable babies and toddlers while all the old folks stood out in the sun grinning over which little ones belonged to whom and comparing notes on sunblock SPF factors. A lot different from our Quad activities 15 years ago. I'm afraid Gregg and I had to leave before dinner on Saturday, but we ended up spending seven hours at Bradley waiting for thunderstorms to clear outofO'Hare. They never did; we ended up at the Bradley Sheraton overnight, and could have been at dinner. Moral? Don't book flights with us. Anyway, it was great to see everyone and hopefully, even more of us will turn out in 1996 for #20. The mailbox had lots of news for me. The moving van arrived for several classmates, like ROBERT COLE who lives in Hamden, Conn. and is the associate director and administrator of the Connecticut Mental Health Center at Yale in New Haven . He reports he just received his master's in human service administration from Antioch University and was elected president of the Connecticut Council of Community Mental Health Centers. SUSAN CURTIS wrote that she and husband, David Heald, moved to Maine where they're sharing the position of rector of St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church in Yarmouth . Small world, because CHARLIE POOLE '77 is a member of the congregation. DAN LINCOLN reported a move to Bernardsville, N.J ., while TERESA BLAKE MILLER and her family are back living in Lawrenceville, N.J . after two years in England. Her boys are now eight months and four years ... and speaking with English accents? MIKE O'BRIEN (a fellow veteran of junior year on the second floor of Jones) and family also just returned from living in England and are now in NYC . Mike and Julie celebrated son Christopher's first birthday in April with MARK KUPFERBERG '77 and family in attendance. From the looks of things at Reunion, Mike and Julie are enjoying being back in the colonies again. We had our share of job changes, too. MIKE ROY wrote "in 1987 I stopped practicing law in a Hartford law firm . I am now a full-time 'house manager' for my wife, Gail, and two children, Willie and Pam." Maybe Mike's got the right idea? CHARLES ANDREWS has gone international, having been appointed managing director of Manufacturers Hanover's Swedish subsidiary. Enjoy the sunshine now, Charles; it's a long winter. If it's food you're after, LOUISE PELLETIER is the owner of "Cafe Louise," a full-service catering business in Eugene, Ore., and teaches French, Mexican and otherethnidgourmet cooking. Do you make house calls in L.A.?

In

financial circles, class agent and money man Gerry La Plante was just appointed business manager at Suffield Academy and BOB PETERSON路 now is the senior vice president with the Mutual Benefit Financial Service Company.

Jim is working for military sealift command as a third mate and served as a crewman in the Persian Gulf on the hospital ship, Comfort. He's in Baltimore now, but aiming to return to Norfolk and a new ship and hopes to sit for the second mate exam next year. This column's prize for travel tales goes to PETER HUMPHREY, CHRIS JENNINGS , TOM SHULTZ and GREG MADDING '78 who were heliskiing in the Bugaboos in British Columbia in April. Wasn't there an avalanche in the Bugaboos this past season? Fellow southern Californian, LINDA GESUALDI, writes that she's still enjoying teaching math at Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach and is spending the summer on the Connecticut shore. (There's a first L.A. beachdwellers go to Connecticut for sand and surf! Well, it is less crowded in Connecticut. ) AMY KRAVITZ SCHILLER is finishing a master's in curriculum and instruction at UConn and teaching reading/ social studies in grades four to eight at the Hebrew Academy of Greater Hartford in Bloomfield. Proving that the years are flying by, her oldest son, Matthew, had his bar mitzvah last May. CHRIS HARRIS reports that he has been the director of the Chartwell School for dyslexic children for the last three years and that he and family enjoy central California wine country living. Who wouldn't? Last, but not least , ANDY BASSFORD just finished a tour with recording artists Toots and the Maytals (I hope I got that spelling), including an appearance with the Neville Bros. at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Watch for Andy's guest column on reggae guitar in August's Guitar Player Magazine. DR. AMY GOLDEN writes, "In addition to working in a general dentistry practice, I teach veterinary dentistry at Animal Medical Center in New York City, University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School and at National Veterinary dentistry meetings. I also have a veterinary dental consulting business and have written several articles on the subject." That's all the news fit to print. Please send those cards and letters for next time or I'll have to make things up or repeatsome ofCharlie'soldcolumns. I look forward to hearing from you. Class Agent: Gerald F.

Happy anniversary. In case it's slipped our collective memory, this fall makes it 10 years since we arrived at Trinity as freshmen. Ten. Hardly seems possible. To prove to yourself that we really aren't getting that old, see if you can answer this piece offreshman year trivia: what song was #1 on the Billboard chart on Sunday, Aug. 30, 1981, the day we unpacked our cars and met each other? Think about it; I'll answer it later on. Well, it appears that "wedding fever" is subsiding a bit for us, although I can still report a few newcomers to the Mr. and Mrs. Club. As far as I can tell, CATHYDION was the last to join, marrying Tom Ed diem on June 29 (my birthday, but that's irrelevant). Cathy has since relocated to Appleton, Wis., although her activities in America's Dairyland are not known. ALISON BERLINGER also got married- to David Holland- (see Weddings) and moved to Atlanta. Taking her cue from Cathy,Aiison also avoided any mention of her occupation in Hotlanta. RICH SHAPIRO married Cheryl Mata in March (see Weddings) and after a honeymoon in Bora Bora (how exotic!), he and his bride settled in the San Francisco area, where Rich was selected as chief resident in internal medicine at Stanford . Say "ahhhhh ."

KATIE YORK rounds out our newlywed contingent this quarter. Actually, Katie resurfaced on Trinity's alumni rolls after a hiatus of several years, and reports that she is now Katie Johnson of Franklin, Tenn. (Do you detect a pattern here? Four weddings, four relocations, to the far-flung corners of the country ... Curious, isn't it?) Katie is presently working on her doctorate in clinical and developmental psychology at Vanderbilt, and says she's been married for almost two years. No kids yet for Katie, but she does own a Dalmatian named Bartholomew. JOE and LORI DAVIS SHIELD have also packed up the apartment and headed west. The Shields are now in San Francisco, where Joe just started "a great job" (in Lori's words) at Schenley Industries as a district manager. Joe's new company is owned by Guiness, so start consuming his line of "refreshments," namelyGuiness, Harp, Bass Ale, Gordon's, Moet , Tanguerey ... hiccup. You get the idea. Lori writes that she's job hunting for a position in the media department of an ad agency. JEFF PILGRIM has bucked this trend toward geographic diversity by accepting a position as assistant director of admissions at WillistonNorthampton School, his alma mater. He'll be living in the dorms (ohjoy) and helping coach basketball. Similarly, ERICA THURMAN MERRILL has left Columbia's admissions office to become associate director of college counseling at Horace Mann School, where she'll also teach history to the little buggers. On the flip side of Erica's new career, I've just been promoted to associate director of admissions at Connecticut College. That sounds good, but it means my paperwork has tripled. So Erica, if you have any Conn College wannabes, give me a call. ORLANDO GONZALEZ finished his M.A. in translation and is now working in the international exchange office at the University of Puerto Rico. He says if anybody needs to translate a book into Spanish, he can do it. Maybe SUSAN CLARK should give him a ring. She's now in the creative department for Meredith Publishing in New York, which she says is a magazine publisher that prints "anything with a 'Home' in the title." How cozy. So Sue, if you need to change "home" to "casa" to reach some new markets, you know where to look for help. Keeping with this international angle for a little longer, MURIEL CASTADOT is working for First Interstate Bank International doing marketing for their trade financing department in New York. ANGELO LOPRESTI is also in New York, continuing his legal career at Herzog, Calamari & Gleason. A few blocks up Park Avenue from Angelo's office, DANIELLE D'ANGELO has just started as public relations manager for the New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants. Doesn't that sound like fun! Actually, Danielle says that it is, "despite the boring name." I stand corrected, with apologies to the CPAs in our ranks. Not far from Manhattan , DR. ROB MORAN has started his third year as a resident in psychiatry at the New York Hospital's Westchester division

in White Plains. Rob reports that he's enjoying it very much. MARK LEE has launched a solo legal practice in Waterbury, Conn. He says it's a general practice with an emphasis on litigation. KAREN REFALVY laments that she has moved again, but her new abode does not merit our sympathy: she's in Hermosa Beach, Calif., with an ocean view from Palos Verde to Malibu. AB they say, life's a beach. Karen hopes to start grad school soon, most likely at UCLA. In the meantime, she'd like MELISSA BROWN to call her. TIM WHITEHOUSE is also in domestic transition, although he's not sure ifhe'll head towards New York or Seattle. Right now he's based in Ohio, having just completed a degree in industrial design at R.l.S.D. He spent the summer in Vermont, building production furniture in a small woodshop and setting a 100-year-old barn on a new foundation . Sounds like an episode from "This Old House." Finally, JOHN MUNTEAN reports in from Chicago that he received an M.S. and a Ph.D. in chemistry last year from the University of Chicago. Dr. Muntean married Susan Synnestvedt, a violinist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, in 1989. KAREN OLIVER has relocated to Columbia, S .C. She notes she's "finally left Portland, Maine for a warmer climate and graduate school." In case you're all scratching your heads re my trivia quiz: "Endless Love" by Diana Ross and Lionel Ritchie was #1 back in 1981. Did you remember? Thought not. I hate that song, anyway. Bye for now.

Hello, '86ers, and welcome to the second leg of our journey as Trinity alumni, as we head toward our TENTH REUNION. The Fifth Reunion was so much fun, I'm ready for more! Just think, only 25 of these columns until then ... The Class of '86 (Sigill Coli Trin Sane) officially survived its First Reunion weekend, and was unquestionably the liveliest class in attendance. Good thing the Class of '81 retired from the hospitality tent early enough so we could "borrow" their untapped beverage supply! However, there seems to be an inverse relationship between class "spirit" and attendance at class meetings. For the 117 reunioners who did not attend the Saturday morning meeting-as well as those who were unable to join us for The WeekendKIM CROWLEY has accepted the title of class president for the next five years. TOM DUNN-QUAYLE, as V.P., is planning for her overthrow, and, as class secretary, I will be penning (or computing, as it were) this report until our next reunion in 1996! With 146 classmates in attendance, we had a great turnout. JOE GRIMM

Absent from the picture are Carolyn Fox '88, Greg Valenti '88, Martha Erskine '85, Tim Whitehouse '85. was presented the award for traveling the farthest (all the way from San Francisco), though MARK GLANCEY, JILL HAGBERG, ED HACKETT and SCOTT"Stormin Norman" MACCOLL also flew in from the "Best" Coast for the occasion. KATIE COOK deserves special merit for leaving the paradise of Jackson, Wyo. to commune with a different sort of wildlife! JENNIFERZ\'DNEYpresented the check from our class, a gift totaling $20,836, an all-time record for Fifth Year Reunion classes. Give yourselves a hand! Jennifer will continue as class agent, along with DOREEN RICE BUTLER, while Scott MacColl and I have taken early retirement. We all thank you for your help in making our record gift possible! And a big thank you to MARILYN WEISS, MARGARET FIGUEROA and JOHN BARTON for putting together a fabulous Reunion.

They are planning a 1993 wedding (wouldn't want to rush it!). The Class of '86 has a seemingly insatiable appetite for education (or at leastfortheextradiplomaon the wall)! TOMZOUBEKgraduatedinMaywith a master's in archaeological studies from Yale, and spent the summer on a dig in Maine. JOSLIN HUBBARD was presented her M.B.A. from the Darden School at UVA, where she proudly served as social chairman (is this a surprise to any of us? ). JOHN SENALDI is off to Harvard Business School this fall, so we can all ask him for a job in a few years.

Howdy fellow '89ers. Before I start, I feel that there should be an explanation as to why the news in the Reporter is late. When you send me a note as to your endeavors and whereabouts, please do not expect it to be in the next Reporter. It will most likely be in the following issue. The production schedule dictates an early deadline for a secretary's news. Therefore, this letter which I am writing in July, will appear in the fall issue. Well , Class, I just finished my second year of law school. A tough year, but it was one that I was able to conquer. I'm working for a small law firm in New York City and am writing an endless amount ofmotions to the courts and memos to the attorney. A life of a young law student is tough. I am living with JASON MANSKE . Jason was recently promoted to be an officeratJ.P. Morgan in New York and is hoping to get an appointment to the corporate board. Dream on , buddy. Living with us this summer is MANUEL CUEVAS '87, who is taking a break from Harvard Business School. On the other side of town, YANI KWEE, DEIRDRE IVES and KATHY ELLIS are still sharing an apartment and working on Wall Street They are still those happy bachelorettes. Recently, I received a letter from KATE DILLION. In an amusing article she clipped for me from the Smithsonian Magazine she advised me to create an imaginary '89er who is exploring the world and living our fantasies. Thanks, Kate, but somehow, as an upcoming attorney-to-be, it would be unethical to create facts. Besides, I would have to do more work by creating the fantasies, just so you might indulge. Kate told me thatJEN WEISSMAN is enjoying her job at Boston University, working with students in the hotel and food management school. Kate also mentioned that CATHY CARPINO will be going into her third year at Tulane Law School this fall, and BOB MARKEE and MIKE VANDERBILT are living it up on the Upper East Side. In a second letter from ALLISON BROWN, two in one semester, she enthusiastically informed me that she will be going to Thailand in October of this year to teach English. Her letter also reported that KATIE ROY received her master's in psychology from Boston College. She bas decided to pursue her doctorate now. The third and fmalletter I received from you apathetic '89ers is from MICHELLE MCETTRICK Michelle is now in Seattle working as an account coordinator for the Seattle office of McCann-Erickson Advertising. She is having the best of times ather job. In her lovely letter, she reports that she is

now living with NANCY CUDLIPP. They had a wild and crazy housewarming party. In attendance was MIKE RILEY. Michelle also reports that she and JUSTINE DIVETT were at the new home of RIDGE CROMWELL. Ridge has an amazing houseboat and works for a food bank. Justine is working at a media-buying company in downtown Seattle. Michelle is quite the socialite and ran into DAVE HSIAO and TIM PANOS at a party- they are rooming together in San Francisco. Michelle reports that MARIANNE MCLAREN has finished her training program at Kidder Peabody. She also reports that SUE KINZ will be going to graduate school in Pennsylvania, and thatCARLABRINI will be graduating by summer's end from the University of Rhode Island. In Michelle's conclusion, she mentioned several rumors that should not be mentioned until confirmed. Sorry, Michelle, but if you can confirm them, write me again and thanks for your lovely letter. MARYANNE O'DONNELL is living with JEN MURPHY in Brighton, Mass. and pursuing her Ph.D. in biochemistry at Boston College. JULIE H. OVEREYNDER is still working for Legal Aid in South Bronx ... oh ... what a bleeding heart ... yes, I am a snobby law student.

(Please note the new address.) Since my last article in the summer, some more of you have written to me, and I really appreciate your efforts. But some of you keep complaining that you are not in the alumni magazine - well, here is your big chance to be famous! All you have to do is write me a quick note, call me or even fax me something. Then everyone will know what you've been up to. It's getting really tough to write these articles when you guys don't keep in touch. I'm not that creative. Well , now that we've got that squared away, here's the latest gossip from Bean town, which is, of course, where I start, because that's where I live .

The Doolittle Gift: An Investment in Trinity's Future Earlier this year Dr. Howard Doolittle '31, a pioneer in the field of nuclear physics, and his wife, Phyllis, decided to honor Trinity with a significant gift. It was an idea they had been considering for some time. Through a gift vehicle called a "Charitable Gift Annuity," funded by cash and securities, they were able to accomplish all their objectives, including: • create the Ida Doolittle Scholarship in honor of his mother; • realize increased income from some of their investments; • take an immediate tax deduction in the year of the gift; • protect their estate from inheritance taxes; • recognize and reward Trinity College for its role in their lives. When asked what prompted them to make this gift, Mrs. Doolittle responded immediately that they felt they owed it to the College. Dr. Doolittle; his twin brother, H. James, Class of '31; and their older brother, Oswin, Class of '28, all had received scholarship aid at Trinity. Their mother, Ida, had wanted to attend college, but had never had the opportunity. She went to work so that her children could receive a college education. "Nothing should be closed to the inquisitive mind," she said. The Doolittles share this conviction. There are many students in Hartford who could benefit from their gift, they say. A pioneer in the field of nuclear physics, Dr. Doolittle taught physics at Trinity before beginning a distinguished career in industry. He contributed to landmark discoveries in radar, modulation and image intensifiers before his retirement as vice president and chief engineer for Raytheon in Stamford. Mrs. Doolittle received her degree from Barnard College and for a time taught "Boston's best and most able" high school graduates to build radios. The Doolittles have made their gift to Trinity to help with financial

1955. From 1915 to 1940, he was a member of the Columbia Law School faculty. During that time, he also wrote law books and built a private law practice. 1n 1947 he became a Federal judge in the Southern District of New York. He held that position for more than three decades and achieved lasting fame for his handling of the trial of 11 Communist leaders in the 1940s. The trial ended in a conviction for allll, a decision which was later upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1951, he succeeded Learned Hand, who retired from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In that job, he dismissed an antitrust case against 17 leading investment banking concerns, in an opinion which became a textbook on investment banking. In the 1960s and '70s, he was recognized as a champion offree speech and free press. He leaves two sons, Harold, ofDelray Beach , Fla , and Standish, of Morristown, N.J .; six grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren. HARRY REASONER, HON. 1977 Harry Reasoner of Westport, Conn.

died of cardiac arrest on Aug. 6, 1991. He was 68. Born in Dakota City, Iowa, he took courses at Stanford and the University of Minnesota, receiving his B.A. degree from the latter in 1989. Before being drafted into the Army, he worked as a reporter for The Minnesota Times in the early '40s. He returned to the Times in 1946, where he became the drama critic. He later worked in public relations and at television stations in Minneapolis before joining CBS News in 1956. After working as a radio reporter and commentator, he became co-host of CBS' TV morning show, "Calendar." He then took on other assignments at CBS News, notably as narrator of "CBS Reports" and as an anchor of CBS' election-night coverage, through much of the 1960s. In 1969, he became a correspondent for the TV show, "60 Minutes." He signed a contract with ABC in 1970 and co-anchored the network's evening news. In addition, he had his own show, "The Reasoner Report," for eight years. In 1978, he rejoined "60 Minutes" which subsequently achieved enormous success, attributable, many believe, to Reasoner's presence. One of network television's preeminent newsmen for three decades,

aid, but also because they feel that Trinity is a sound investment. They point to the College's balanced budget for more than 20 years, adding that they have confidence in Trinity's management of money given in trust. Perhaps their most important reason for the gift is a simple one: They get pleasure from having done it, they say. Through their generous gift, the Doolittles have contributed to the well-being of future Trinity students, but also to a brighter future for higher education in general. There are few actions one can take that yield such positive returns. If your goals include: • an increase in your current income, • current tax relief, • the protection of your estate for your heirs, and • the ability to make a significant gift to Trinity,
