President's Message THIS PAST YEAR has brought about tremen~ dous strides in Trinity's reconversion from V~12 to civilian students. We are proud of our faculty and the splendid job they did often in new fields - for the Navy. And we Trinity men will always remember with great satisfaction that our Alma Mater played an important role in the development of many young naval officers from the Navy V~12 unit. Much of my time has been spent building up our faculty and administrative staffs. It is obvious that by expanding next September to eight hundred students - 50% above our pre~war enrollment we must increase our staff of teachers. This is easier said than done because of the shortage of good men; yet it is with much pride that we have announced the appointments of sixteen men, although we still have some to go in Eco~ nomics and in Philosophy. An account of each of them has appeared in this and other issues of the Alumni News 路under the Faculty columns. Lieutenant~Commander Walter McCloud returns to us as Assistant Dean after three years in the Navy, and Albert E. Holland will be Director of Admissions and Ad visor to the Freshman Class. I regret to say that as yet we have not found a College Chaplain, but it is my hope that there will be some good news concerning this important post soon. As most of you know ground has been broken for the new engineering laboratory given by Karl W. Hallden, '09, and also rapid progress is being made on the lower
campus mall between the Bishop and Broad Street. Incidentally it did my heart good at Commencement to hear so many comments by the returning alumni on the fine condi~ tion of the College buildings and grounds. The 1946 Summer School has started for ten weeks with an enrollment of 450 of which three hundred are our own students and one hundred and fifty are people from Hartford. Our enrollment next fall will be about eight hundred, or two hundred and fifty more than ever before in our history. By having a " night shift" of the regular College, we plan to run classes up until 9 :20 in the evening to take care of this large enrollment. The freshmen class will number about 235. May I take this opportunity to thank all of you who have so generously given to the Alumni Fund. Your response is most heart~ ening. And to all alumni I repeat again "Keep talking Trinity" for you are the College's best ambassadors of good will. T
Commencement AMID A PERFECT june setting, the one hundred and twentieth Trinity College Com~ mencement was held June 14~17. Fifty~two bachelors', ten masters' , and six honorary degrees were conferred by President Funston in the traditional Latin ceremony. It is interesting to note that thirty~one of the seniors are veterans. On Friday, June 14th, the annual Faculty~ Alumni dinner was revived with nearly one hundred attending. The fraternities held their usual reunion meetings with each

Feldman, Valedictorian, and Walter B. W. Wilson, Salutatorian, to membership in the society. Professor Morse S. Allen was reelected President. Dr. Jerome P. Webster, ' 10, of New York City was awarded at the annual alumni meeting, the Eigenbrodt Cup as Trinity's outstanding alumnus of the year. His well known work in plastic surgery, and his con, tinued efforts in behalf of his Alma Mater make this presentation richly deserved.
After the Alumni luncheon at which over four hundred were present, the Hartford alumni nosed out New York at softball, 12 to 11, before a large crowd. The Presi, dent's reception and various reunion dinners concluded the day's activities. Major General Luther Deck Miller, Chief of the Army Chaplains, delivered the Bac, calaureate Address at the Open Air Memorial Service in front of Northam Towers. The Governor's Foot Guard Band provided music. Professor Perkins read the Lesson, and President Funston read the honor roll of the sixty,two Trinity men who lost their lives in World War II.

Trinity College Reading Course IN 1925 Trinity College instituted a course in which students made their own choice of books to read, from a list of over a thousand, and wrote their reactions in a report on each book. A pamphlet containing the book list, with annotations to assist the choice, was published in the same year as a College Bulletin, since revised in 1928 and 1940. This attracted a good deal of attention at the time, and not merely 路 from Trinity alumni. Copies were called for from such places as Calcutta, Peking, andJohannesburg, and it was widely commented on, as by Nature in England, and particularly by the Publisher's Weekly in the United States. It was used in very many libraries of the smaller colleges, and better known elsewhere than by some of us at Trinity. The first idea was to give students, who often complained that they were forced to put aside the reading they wanted to do in order to get up assignments in courses, a real chance to count good reading as itself a part of a college education. Also the annotations directed students to subjects and books they had never even heard about before, often to their considerable pleasure and profit. Undoubtedly there was some faking, but mostly students did the work conscientiously, and the self-guidance feature was itself a way of establishing good habits, in spite of frequent floundering . The need to react by a written report was complained of, as taking away the joy of spontaneous reading, but reading without reacting gives little educational profit. In the more famous John Erskine course at Columbia College, from which grew the Saint John's College Hundred Books plan, every one of a select group were to read the same books, one masterpiece a week, a rather dizzy pace, and they discussed it together in a so-called "colloquium," guided by two professors jointly. Neither this nor the Trinity plan gets everybody reading spontaneously perhaps nothing could. The Trinity plan is founded on the assumption that self-education is the only education that really lasts. Doubtless many who took the course have disregarded the opportunities for obtaining expert advice, and have picked their books by the attractiveness of the cover, or the temporary notoriety of some particular writer. Others have thought they could read at any time, so why take a course

for it, when there were serious things to be done in college? Yet experience shows that many of these latter were really incapable, without some practice, of the self-guidance which the course requires. They were letting their professors feed the material to them, and handing the same back in the examination blue books, with the result, as Dean Briggs once said, that "a professor reading examination papers is like a dog eating sausages - getting back his own substance in mutilated form. " The Trinity List of Books for a College Student's Reading does not contain, of course, more than a convenient selection of the best and most readable books. For instance, the Phaidon Press art books, a superb series, are not quite suitable for such report. Douglas Freeman's Lee and Lee's Lieutenants, or Arthur Schlesinger's Age of jackson, are able biographies, but long and detailed, though some students have read with great profit similar biographies, such as Sandburg's Lincoln, the War Years, or Beveridge's john Marshall, or Cushing's Osler, in spite of their length. It has even happened that a single book has changed a student's whole plan of life. On the other hand, some students have merely read the obvious choices, and chalked up one course credit, and have not realized what they were missing. Let us try a sample of the Reading Course recommendations, as they actually come up. Let us suppose a fairly mature mind comes with the question: "Can you put me in contact with at least some of the things that are going on in the world?" Even thus limited, this is a large order. For the political situation, one would have to recommend a composite picture from a number of books, each inadequate in itself. Perhaps he might be started on a straight textbook like Frank Benns, Europe since 1914 m its 6th edition, 1945. If he wanted a book on American ideals, he might try Commager and Nevins, The Heritage of America. Perhaps it turns out that he wants to understand better some special topic, let us say, China. We could recommend a short history, like that by Luther Goodrich, but it would be better to recommend something that would give the spirit of China, Nora Wain, House of Exile, or Pierre Payne, Forever China, or even a novel like Lin Yu Tang, Moment in Pekin. If his first interest turned toward science, he might be started off with Sir James Jeans, The Universe Around Us, in the 4th rewritten edition of 1944, or Sir William Dampier, A Shorter History of Science, 1944. If his interest turned in the direction of the remoter origins of our civil-

ization, he might try R. W. Livingstone, Pageant of Greece, or Edwyn Bevin's little Home University Library book, Christianity. Or he might even go back into anthropology, with Ruth Benedict, Patterns of Culture. Perhaps again he might have a curiosity about the arts, let us say music, and find a new realization of their importance in P au l Lang, Music in Western Civilization. Or he might be tempted to future varied reading by a selection of entertaining writings, like Clifton Fadiman's wide,ranging Reading I've Liked. These are all books of high excellence, yet few readers would know where to turn among them, without ,the guidance such as the Trinity College Reading Course provides.

Alumni Activities MosT OF TRINITY's local Alumni Associa, tions have been rejuvenated since y,J Day. President Funston and Tom Wadlow went to Rochester, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Chicago last May. They have also visited New Haven, New York, Philadelphia, Wash, ington, Springfield, Waterbury, Boston and Hartford. Dan Webster's annual Spring Frolic was most successful despite the rai], road strike. The Hartford Alumni Association has been completely reorganized by its new head, Ham Barber. Their second meeting this Spring was just as successful as last Winter's. Dr. Naylor's protege from gay Paree set the boys in the aisles with his stories. The Hart, ford Scholarship Committee has again been active under the direction of Nelson Shepard .
The Alumni Fund under Tom Wadlow has
•
reached an all time high with 1,167 alumni contributing $36,470. This has made possible many improvements on the campus - the most prominent being the grading and draining of the lower campus which long has been an eyesore.
New Director of Admissions ALBERT E. HoLLAND of Riverdale, New York, has been appointed Director of Ad, missions and Advisor to the Freshman Class. He succeeds Dean Frederick C. Copeland who is returning to Williams. Graduating from Brooklyn Preparatory School in 1930, Mr. Holland entered Trinity with the class of 1934. He was manager of the Jesters, on the Tripod staff, and a member of Delta Psi fraternity. Forced to leave college in 1933 due to family illness, he studied in Berlin from 1935 to 1939 at the German¡ Institute for Business Cycle Re, search, and also worked for Brown Harriman Co. as assistant to the managlrtg director. When war broke out he returned to New York to work on a survey of American aviation financing. In 1941 he went to Manila with the North Negros Sugar Co. From January, 1942, to February, 1945, he was interned in Santo Tomas concentra, tion camp. Returning to this country a year ago, he re,entered Trinity in September. He was elected president of the Political Science Club; member of the Interfraternity Council; and member of the College Senate. He graduated this June with honors in History and in Modern Languages. Mr. Holland is married to the former Dorita Frances Robinson of Greenwich, Conn. They have two children, Albert, Jr., and Dorita.

Wilde wisely added the word "uninten~ tionally." Undoubtedly many undergrad~ uates have 路been pained by their marks in Physics, but it was a just and salutary pain. "Of the Jarvis Laboratory?" Yes, the largest part of his life has been devoted to imparting his knowledge to those who are now alumni. That he has twice been called upon to serve as Acting President is some measure of the esteem the College has had for him, but that was much less important than the hard and solid work which he did, day after day, in his laboratories and lecture room for each generation of Trinity men since 1902. But how little "the Jarvis Physics Labor~ a tory" has bounded his interests! To list them would be to make a catalogue, and "The Catalogue of Henry A.

Sports IN SPITE OF A rather small enrollment of approximately 375 students, the Athletic Advisory Council voted to engage in as many contests as possible to keep Trinity's name in the intercollegiate sports world and to build material for the banner sports year which is anticipated beginning next fall. Varsity schedules were arranged in baseball, track and tennis and informal competition was also held in golf and sailing. The baseball team, captained by Alec Dubovick, enjoyed a record of 6 victories in 7 contests. The season was unusual in that no less than 5 games had to be cancelled because of rain. Victories were scored over Wesleyan, Springfield, Massachusetts State, Bates, Worcester Tech and Amherst. The lone defeat was in the second game with Wesleyan which held 10 innings before a Wesleyan home run broke up a tight pitchers' battle between Wesleyan's Dixie Howell and Trinity's ace, Joe Julavits. Dick Wiesenfluh, who formerly performed on the Varsity tennis team, led the squad in hitting.

The track team was not a well balanced unit, lacking good candidates in several events, particularly the distance runs. In spite of this, however, the team defeated Massachusetts State College and held Middle~ bury and Union to very close scores. The only one~sided defeat was at the hands of Wesleyan which had an unusually strong array of track talent. The Trinity team placed fourth with 2072 points in the Eastern Intercollegiates, due mainly to the fine work of Captain Peter Torrey, Parker Carleton and Myron Shafer. Shafer distinguished himself during the season by setting a new Trinity College discus throw record of 131 ' 97:;(". In dual meet competition, Peter Torrey was outstanding, scoring 77 points and an additional 10 points in the Eastern Intercollegiate meet. Mr. George Abbe was appointed coach of the Varsity tennis team on a seasonal basis. The team enjoyed an excellent record, win~ ning from Amherst, Coast Guard, Springfield and Worcester Tech, while losing to a strong Wesleyan racquet squad. Captain Moor was Trinity's No. 1 man in singles competition. His doubles team mate was Frank Borden. FALL PROSPECTS Trinity, like all other colleges, is looking ahead to a fine sports season beginning next fall. College enrollment of day students numbering about 550 plus about 250 evening school students will give the coaches a much larger enrollment to select from than any previous year in the history of the College. Several returning servicemen who have had previous college athletic experience (mainly former Trinity athletes) will be on the squads. Dan Jessee and Joe Clarke are optimistic about football prospects, although they real~ ize that all colleges will be much stronger than in normal years. A schedule of six football games has been arranged. The opponents listed are Bates, Hobart and Norwich University to be played at Trinity Field and Middlebury, Williams and Wes~ leyan to be played away. Two new men have been added to the staff of the Physical Education Department. Mr. Bruce Munro will coach the Varsity soccer team. Bruce, a graduate of Springfield College, was chosen on the mythical All New England College Soccer Team for two years and in his senior year was named on the All American mythical team. While studying for his Master's degree at Spring~ field, he coached the Freshman soccer team and the Varsity lacrosse team.

The other man who will be added to the Physical Education staff is well known to many Trinity alumni. Joe Beidler of the class of 1941, Trinity letterman in football, basketball and baseball, will assist Dan Jesse in both football and baseball. He will probably also coach the Junior Varsity teams in these sports. During this past year, Joe has been studying at Columbia for his Master's degree, maj oring in Physical Edu~ cation.

Odell Shepard AFfER twenty-nine years of teaching at Trinity, Odell Shepard has resigned the James J. Goodwin Professorship of English Literature. During that time he was a Pulitzer Prize winner and he achieved high political office. He leaves behind many students duly appreciative of what he had to offer. As a testimony to his widespread fame, Professor Shepard has been honored with Doctor's degrees from Northwestern, Wesleyan and Boston Universities. He had held a Guggenheim award for foreign study and has been the Huntington Library international research fellow. A list of his books is most imposing: Shakespeare Questions an Outline for the study of the Leading Plays; A Lonely Flute; Bliss Carman, a Study of his Poetry; The Harvest of a Quiet Eye; The joys of Forgetting; The Lore. of the Unicorn; Thy Rod and Thy Creel; Pedlar's Progress, the Life of Bronson Alcott; and Connecticut Past and Present. The lives of many of Odell Shepard's students have been inspired by his intellectual honesty and his infectious idealism.

All will remember his informal classes, his disapproval of final examinations and, most of all, his powers of expression. Of course no one could teach many years at Trinity without personal incidents of interest. There was the time Dr. Shepard went to his study for a moment's relaxation between classes. An undergraduate with dark circles beneath his eyes appeared at the door to deliver his assignment just as Professor Shepard was sipping a cool glass of milk. "My, but that looks good sir," said the stude.n t. "It is," Dr. Shepard replied, "but, I fear, not strong enough for your taste." One night Dr. Shepard was reading Poe's Annabel Lee to a mixed class in extension. The stage was set for a dramatic performance - lights out, everybody still and quiet, and Mrs. Shepard in the back row. It was indeed a dramatic reading as proven by the inspired silence which followed. Suddenly a young female voice blurted out, "What's tomorrow's assignment, Professor?" Dr. Shepard turned on the lights, walked slowly to the front of the class and said, as only he could say it, "Gentlemen and ladies - every cathedral must have its gargoyle." And so, as he leaves our elm-shaded Campus for his new home in Waterford, Connecticut, we think of him as a teacher with very human qualities.

Fred Copeland THE RESIGNATION from Trinity College of Dr. Frederick C. Copeland brings to an end his six-year career on the hill. This July he will take up his duties as Assistant Professor of Biology and Director of Admissions at Williams College, from which he was graduated in 1935. His work at Trinity as Instructor in Biology, Director of Admissions, and Dean of Freshmen will supply an excellent background for his work at Williams. In bidding farewell to Fred Copeland, Trinity takes leave of one whose part in the College's life has been far more important than his three titles would indicate, for the Copeland family has become a very real part of the College. Dr. and Mrs. Copeland, their children, "Rickie" and " Win", (plus cocker Jay) are frequently seen on campus. " Cal, " as Mrs. Copeland is known among her friends, has planned swimming parties, dances, and picnics for the undergraduates, and especially for the V-12 students when the Navy unit was here. Fred's most conspicuous duties have been those of showing Trinity to prospective students, a great many of whom, he has signed up for the College. A familiar sight is that of our tall, fair-haired Director of Admissions strolling across the campus with
ALUMNI
NEWS
a sub-freshman and perhaps the sub-freshman's parents. Just what Fred says to these people as he takes them around has never been fully disclosed, but it must be good. As Dean of Freshmen, Fred has not had the time to take from his admissions and teaching work to do this job as thoroughly as he would wish. He has, however, straightened out many a perplexed freshman. His naturalJy cordial manner inspires confidence in even the timidest first-year bosom, and freshmen have been known to stand in line in the crowded admissions office for his valued counsel. Finally we give you Doctor Copeland, Instructor in Biology. Not only is Fred a good teacher, he is a popular teacher. The two do not necessarily go together. His interest in his subject is not confined to the classroom, for he has brought at least one lecturer to the ColJege to address the Faculty and their wives. (This must be a record of some sort!) At any rate, Dr. Copeland is a good biologist who knows his subject and can interest others in it. We are sorry to take leave of the Copelands. A gap hard to fill will be left in Trinity's life. In their new career at Williams we wish them the best of success and good fortune. T
Gustav Adolf Kleene WoRD has just been received of the death of Dr. Gustav Adolf Kleene, retired Professor of Economics, who served as a member of the College Faculty from 1903 until 1938. He passed away in his seventy-eighth year at his summer home in Rockland, Maine on July 10. Dr. Kleene was born in Peoria, Illinois. He studied at the Universities of Michigan, Berlin , Tuebingen, Columbia, and Pennsylvania where he received his Ph.D. in 1896. He started his teaching career at the Saginaw High School, Saginaw, Michigan. Later he taught at the University of Michigan and Swarthmore Coiiege before coming to Trinity. Dr. Kleene was a member of the American Economic Association, the Royal Economic Association, Phi Beta Kappa, and the Twentieth Century and Get-Together Clubs of Hartford.
