The Trinity College Alumni Magazine is published five times yearly: November, January, March, May and July. Second Class postage paid at Hartford, Connecticut.

Josef Albers, eminent painter, lecturer and teacher, will spend five days in April on the Trinity Campus as a visiting lecturer. He will also present an exhibition of his paintings.

Albers' life and career are noteworthy.

Born in Germany in 1888, he studied at The Royal Academy School in Berlin, The School of Applied Arts in Essen and The Art Academy in Munich, and he taught at the celebrated Bauhaus in Weimar. After coming to this country he was head of the Art Department of Black Mountain College in North Carolina. In the 1950's, he was Chairman of the Department of Design at Yale University.

Although he is now retired from teaching and living in New Haven, he is actively painting combinations of magnificent color. Albers' paintings are found at Harvard, the Wadsworth Atheneum, the Whitney, the Guggenheim and the National Gallery; on the West Coast in Portland and Los Angeles, as well as abroad.

At the same time that the Professor will be on campus, he will also have exhibits in Oeveland and South America.

During his stay at Trinity, April 19-22, Professor Albers will deliver three formal lectures on a variety of subjects. His first on Monday evening, April 19, is entitled, ..General Education and Art Education: Possessive or Productive?" He has chosen ..One and One is Three and More" as the title for his Wednesday lecture and Thursday evening he will talk on "Design: A Basic Art Concept."

This series of lectures, informal talks, classroom and seminar discussions, in addition to the exhibition, is the first in a yearly series of such visits by internationally known authorities in various fields to be sponsored by the Trinity College Lecture Committee. Of major importance to this new program will be the publication by the College of the lectures with illustrations of Professor Albers' paintings. It should be an exciting and noteworthy endeavor and will mark a first in Trinity history.

James Lippincott Goodwin Theater Courtesy Hartford Times

Trinity's new theater, located in the Austin Arts Center, will be named in honor of James Lippincott Goodwin of Hartford. Mr. Goodwin, a noted conservationist, has served the College as a Life Trustee and, since 1963, as Trustee Emeritus. In 1963 the College awarded him the honorary degree of doctor of laws.

The Goodwin family has been an important part of Trinity's history ever since James Goodwin, great-grandfather of James Lippincott Goodwin, helped to found the College in 1823. Every succeeding generation of the Goodwin family has been represented on Trinity's Board of Trustees.

Announcing that the new theater will bear Mr. Goodwin's name, President Albert C. Jacobs disclosed that Mr. Goodwin had been the donor in 1960 of the challenge gift of $500,000, to be used for the construction of an arts center. Later Mr. Goodwin gave an additional $350,000 with the provision that this gift be matched from other sources. The estimated cost in 1960 was $1,500,000. As plans expanded, the cost of the building increased to $2,200,000.

Last June the Austin Arts Center was named in memory of A. Everett Austin Jr., founder of Trinity's Department of Fine Arts and, as director of the Wadsworth Atheneum, an internationally known figure in the arts world.

In addition to his generosity to Trinity College, James L. Goodwin is noted for his interest in the conservation of natural resources. In 1964 Mr. Goodwin gave the State of Connecticut, with funds for endowment, property of more than 1, 700 acres known as Pine Acres Farm in Windham County, Connecticut.

In almost a century and a half since James Goodwin helped to establish Trinity College, there has been a continuous line of Goodwins serving the College. Major James Goodwin, James Junius Goodwin and James Lippincott Goodwin served as Life Trustees and each re-

ceived an honorary degree from Trinity. The Rev. Francis Goodwin, like James Junius, a son of Major Goodwin, was also a Life Trustee. His son, James, Class of 1886, was president of Trinity's national alumni association.

The Goodwin Theater in the Center will be used for concerts, plays, and lectures. The noted designer of theaters, Professor George C. Izenour of Yale University, was consultant for the firm of O'Connor and Kilham, architects of the Center. Professor Izenour worked out a plan for alternate seating capacities of 235 and 400, as well as a forestage 11-feet deep which can be raised from the lower floor to stage level by hydraulic power. This arrangement makes it possible to bring stage action close to the audience. Flanked by the side sectors, the forestage can provide the central area of a wrap-around stage when the presentation calls for this style of production. The full stage has a 36 by 22 foot opening and is 32 feet deep. The 56 foot high grid with 26 counter-weighted lines provides for swift scenery changes and suspends the cyclorama. An acoustical shell assures excellent sound projection.

The first performance in the Goodwin Theater will be "The Fantasticks," a joint presentation by the Trinity Jesters and the Glee Club. This production will be one of a series of events planned for the opening of the Austin Arts Center.

President Jacobs, expressing the gratitude of the college community, said: "Many groups, many individuals, and many public service causes have had reason to be grateful for the thoughtful generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Goodwin over the years. Of all these, no institution has benefited more from the Goodwin ideal of service than Trinity College.

"The James Lippincott Goodwin Theater will be an enduring source of inspiration to generations of students to come."

ONE AND ONE IS

"One and one is three and more" and "Gentlemen prefer blondes, or do they?" are provocative statements.

They are statements the noted artist, Josef Albers, likes to make and substantiate.

To Professor Albers, the statement "Gentlemen prefer blondes" is to say that gentlemen can be deceived, and often are, by hues, shades and tints. In his recently published book, The Interaction of Color, blonde magically appears to look like violet and vice versa.

This artist is an internationally acclaimed authority on color who does not read books on color theory but writes them. As he says, his work is not research but search.

One of the major themes of the Professor's color experiments is that color deceives continually and is very unstable, hence the violet blonde. He proves this many times by taking different hues (colors), perhaps a blonde and a violet, and by setting them against chosen backgrounds they appear identical. In reverse, two exactly identical hues can be made to look totally different.

The effects of after-image are explored as well. After staring at the center of a large red circle for a minute, when the shift is made to a white circle, the result is surprising, for the after-image produces the complement of red which is green. "No normal eye is foolproof against color deception," states Albers, and he demonstrates how "one hue plus a second gives three or more," and you are on the way toward a better understanding of that elusive item, color.

2

Cliches are shattered by Albers. For centuries artists have talked about warm and cool colors; the red and oranges warm, the blues and greens cool. This artist can show you cool reds and warm blues, not an easy trick but carried off by his demonstration of the relativity of the hues on selected grounds. He discusses the work of Cezanne, the father of modern art, and shows how the junction of two color areas can be soft or hard, melting or clashing, and for what effect.

Albers' influence has most recently been projected dramatically through the emergence of a group of painters who are called "OP Artists." Life Magazine of December 10, 1964, devoted eight pages to this exciting, sometimes colorful and intriguing art form. "The works of OP artists," states Life, "titillating, pleasing, paining and educating the vision of the viewer, have won snickers and sneers along with bold praises and big prices. But rare is the viewer who does not feel himself on the verge of vertigo as he looks at the swerving lines .... " "The two acknowledged fathers of today's OP," continues Life, "are 76-year old Josef Albers ... and Victor Vasarely . .. Albers began on his single-minded experiments with color illusion when he taught at Germany's Bauhaus in the 1920's. His art, he says, is 'making colors do something they don't do themselves.' In the 1950's, as Chairman of the Art Department at Yale, he trained such future OP-men as Anuszkiewicz and Stanczak."

The invariable question that arises in a discussion of Albers' work is whether these paintings fall in the category of art or science. The after-image effect, tests for color blindness, and various optical illusionistic eyeteasers can belong to both camps. At least since the time of Leonardo da Vinci, art and science have at times worked together; a case in point would be Thomas Eakins, 19th-century American artist. Whether it be one or the other is not really so important, for those who cling to the classical traditions and the Victorian concept of a work of art as being "beautiful things seen beautifully," have at last a contemporary school of art, Optical Art, to which they can turn. There they will find beautiful new color combinations, both pleasing and disquieting optical effects, but, as Warren R. Young said in Life, "The vision of serious artists engaged in disciplined pursuit of the age-old craft of painting is a welcome event." If the abstract-expressionism of a De Kooning or the Pop of Johns causes old standards to crumble, turn now to sheer color and design, delightfully conceived and executed.

"Teaching," says Albers, "is a matter not of method but of heart ... better to give right questions than right answers." The Trinity Campus and Greater Hartford will have the opportunity to listen to and talk with a truly international figure, a dedicated artist and searcher, who has perhaps only begun to show his influence in color perception and combination in a wide variety of areas. Color is all around us, but few ever see it. Professor Albers will open our eyes. His lectures will range from color to education and design.

Ousman Sallah '65

By Robert M. Salter

t<Shifting Sands Lead River Pilot To G am bian D ip lomatic Career"

This headline from Page Three of the February 16th edition of the New York Times suggests a first person success story that would span at least a quarter of a century.

For Trinity senior Ousman Ahmadou Sallah, it has all happened in the unusually brief period of five years.

The first native Gambian to study in the United States, Ousman was the youngest, at 20, to serve the West African nation as a licensed pilot on The Gambia River, the country's namesake. Now, at 25, Sallah will probably be setting another precedent in Itlne when he is expected to receive his diploma in one hand and diplomatic credentials in the other.

Upon graduation Ousman will be the first Gambian to hold a U.S. degree of any kind and the only one who majored in government. The Gambia's Prime Minister, Dr. David K. J awara, who has become a personal friend of Ousman, asked the Trinity senior a few weeks ago if he would represent the new nation in Washington, D.C. "Of course I accepted," said the smiling Sallah, who is still a little overwhelmed at the honor, "but official announcement will have to come from my government."

Ousman was on a two-week leave of absence granted

by Trinity so he could attend the independence ceremonies of February 18 which marked the end of 375 years of British rule of The Gambia.

"And it is The Gambia," smiles Ousman stressing the article which was left in the official name by vote of parliament. The article, explains Ousman, will prevent confusion with Zambia, and it symbolizes the nation's dependence on the river which attracted British traders in the first place and kept The Gambia from becoming part of French Senegal.

The Gambia has a population today of approximately 315,000 and a total area of 4,068 square miles, a little smaller than Connecticut. The nation consists of the capital, Bathurst, on St. Mary's Island at the mouth of The Gambia River, and a strip of land six miles on either side of the river as far as Koina, about 400 miles upriver from Bathurst.

It was on the river in 1959 that Ousman drew the assignment to pilot the rented yacht of retired U.S. foreign service officer, Paul Paddock, who was doing research on Hungry Nations, a book he later wrote with his brother, Bill, which was published last September.

With Mr. Paddock on that trip was Eric Lasher, Trinity '57. Both were immediately impressed by the popularity 4

of the young river pilot who seemed to know just about everybody who lived or worked on either bank of the river. A warm friendship developed and the next fall, on arrangements made by Mr. Paddock, Ousman entered Cornwall Academy in Great Barrington, Mass. A year later, in September, 1961 , he entered Trinity (Alumni Magazine, "Report on Africa," January 1962).

At Trinity Gusman is a popular student and known on the campus for his engaging personality and his ability to "pilot" a soccer ball. He is a favorite at Delta Kappa Epsilon, where he has stayed as a guest since his arrival here. On the soccer field he was a big factor in Trinity's winning the New England Intercollegiate Soccer Championship last Fall.

Even as a busy undergraduate Ousman has been able to serve his tiny nation in many ways. He has been instrumental in bringing over about half of the 25 Gambians now studying in the U.S. and was a founder of the Gambian Students Association of America, an organization he now beads. To help The Gambia's agricultural economy, now heavily dependent on the exporting of peanuts, Ousman had soil flown from the West African nation for testing in the U.S. After consultation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Ousman now thinks soybean can be cultivated and added to the country's exports.

Last October, when Dr. Jawara visited this country, Ousman arranged for a tour of New England and was the Prime Minister's constant companion during a twoday visit to Trinity.

Since that visit Ousman has kept in close contact with Dr. J awara, talking with him frequently by transatlantic phone. He spends most weekends in New York on Gambian business, trips made easier by the fact that he can stay at Eric Lasher's apartment there.

By the time he left Kennedy International Airport

last month with a personal invitation to attend the independence ceremonies, Ousman had prepared a special report for the Prime Minister on sources of aid for newly independent nations. He also had with him greetings and best wishes from Dr. Jacobs and Trinity to Dr. J awara and The Gambia.

While he was in Bathurst the week of February 14, Ousman said he heard Radio Gambia announce that micro-film of rare volumes on the history of The Gambia had been received from the Trinity College Library in Hartford, Connecticut, U.S.A. The ten days he spent in Bathurst are memorable ones for Ousman. He talked with royalty and dignitaries, including the Duke and Duchess of Kent who were representing Queen Elizabeth, who had gathered for the ceremo.nies. "The Duchess is a beautiful and delightful lady," said Ousman, "and they were both so easy to talk to. They asked me many questions about Trinity and my stay in the United States."

The highlights of the week-long celebration were the Tattoo (tribal dancing) and Flag Raising Ceremony in McCarthy Square on the night of February 17 and that historic moment for The Gambia when, at the stroke of midnight (GMT), the horizontal, striped flag of red, blue, green and white was raised for the first time. "They applauded," reports the occupant of VIP seat 62, "there was no riotous demonstration or frantic screaming, just a prolonged applause of approval."

One of the biggest surprises for Ousman was his own popularity. "I was completely taken by the numbers who sought me out and asked me questions. Most wanted to know who killed President Kennedy and why.

He was very popular in The Gambia."

The night before he left The Gambia Ousman was the dinner gues.t of the Prime Minister and it was in Dr. Jawara's unimposing six-room frame house that the Trinity senior was asked if he would entertain an appointment as Ambassador to the United States. "I still find it a little hard to believe," says Ousman, who cautions any interviewer that the official appointment and announcement will have to come from Dr. J awara.

Ousman is now busier than ever carrying out another assignment Dr. J awara gave him over dinner that night.

He was asked to handle all inquiries about The Gambia in this country. One of the first things Ousman did when he arrived back in New York City was to set up an office in the Senegal Mission.

Ousman spent a hectic weekend setting up the administrative channels through which inquiries would be handled. He called Mr. Paddock, spent the evening at Lasher's and was back in the office early Sunday. He made certain the secretaries in the Senegal Mission had been thoroughly briefed, arranged appointments with businessmen interested in investing in The Gambia, and then hurried back to the Trinity campus for his Monday classes.

Trinity's "Mr. Peace Corps," Raymond C. Parrott '53 was back on the campus recently and the current generation of prospective volunteers got a first-hand look at the Corps today.

It was Ray Parrott's first "official" visit to Trinity since he left a comfortable position with a railway company in 1961 to pioneer to the first Corps project in Ghana. (Alumni Magazine, May 1962.) The top-level Corps "staffer" (this distinguishes full-time staff from two-year volunteers) set up a booth for two days in Mather Hall to talk with prospective applicants. Since the Corps began four years ago, 17 Trinity men have become volunteers.

Actually Ray could have sent someone else to make the campus interviews, but he welcomed the opportunity to return to see and talk with old friends, which be did.

Actually, for the past year Parrott's job as director of the National Volunteer Service Programs under Peace Corps Director Sargent Shriver bas been to talk with other governments who are interested in setting up their own type of Peace Corps for service in other countries or within their own borders. Later this year he will be talking to officials in Belgium and Japan.

He told a "Brazilian Day" audience in Mather Hall, gathered to honor 11 student visitors from that South American country, that there are now 11 nations with

6

programs of the U.S. type of Peace Corps and by 1966 he predicted "there will probably be 40,000 volunteers lending a hand around the world. The U.S. Peace Corps, which now has 10,000 volunteers, will have approximately 15,000 working overseas by next October." lie said another 12 nations had indicated an interest in establishing domestic peace corps within their borders.

Brazil is one of these, he added.

Parrott had with him a list of Trinity alumni who are now serving in the Corps or who have completed service. The roster reveals two alumni currently serving in Brazil and a third who spent two years there, a point well taken by the eleven Brazilians visiting the campus that day.

One Trinity alumnus, James E. Platt, B.S. '62, B.S.E.E. '63, wrote to his Trinity engineering professor, August Sapega, and explained that he has been inspecting and supervising the construction of 100 kilometers of lines which will provide electricity for the first time to farmers in the Western part of the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. He wrote "In my free time I teach English at the agricultural school where I live, and I coach a baseball team that is made up of students who are descendants of Japanese immigrants." Platt, who has six-months service remaining, added "I have really enjoyed my Peace Corps experience so far, and I feel it will be invaluable to me in the future."

* Peace Corps service completed t Completed training, believed to be in Nigeria

* * Specific information on training or assignment was not available.

This last point of Platt's is one of the objectives of the corps as envisioned by President Kennedy. Parrott explained it this way to Librarian Donald Engley during a half-hour conversation televised by Connecticut Educational Television (Channel 24): "The volunteers will return from a nation with a better understanding of what is going on there, and we hope they will apply some of these experiences to their chosen profession here." Parrott pointed out that of the 8,000 volunteers sent over during the first three years only 3,500 have completed service and returned to this country. "When we get more volunteers back, including those we are sending over now, then I think we will begin to feel over here the real impact of the Peace Corps."

The conversation with Mr. Engley also brought out several interesting points. Most volunteers are between the ages of 21 and 28 . The minimum age is 18. There is no maximum and Parrott remembers a 72-year-old woman volunteer in Nigeria. He thinks the record is a 74-year old couple who served two years in South America.

On the average one applicant in ten is accepted.

Eighty-five per cent of the volunteers are college graduates. A 12-13 week training program precedes any overseas assignment and it is now possible for a college student to take the training between his junior and senior

year. Overseas assignments can then be made immediately following Commencement. Volunteers do not receive a salary but are given a stipend which varies with the location of service.

The articulate Mr. Parrott, a Trinity Phi Beta Kappa, admitted there had been mistakes. "There was no precedent for such an organization," he said. "Perhaps one of the biggest failures was not getting into the most needed areas right away, but we have programs in these areas now and more are being planned." He explained that the emphasis on teaching as a Peace Corps activity "was accidental." In the first two projects, both in Africa, "The biggest need was for teachers." In the Corps' first project, Parrott supervised 51 volunteer secondary school teachers who taught in 31 different schools in Ghana. There is still a demand from host countries for teachers, but the request for volunteers with other training and skills is increasing.

As the televised conversation was drawing to a close, Mr. Engley turned to Mr. Parrott and asked, "Can we say, as some people have, that a Peace Corps volunteer leaves this country an idealist and returns a realist?"

Mr. Parrott replied, "What I have always said - and it is certainly our hope - they go out idealistic and come back idea-istic."

Blueprint for Alumni Interviewers There was a time when interested persons were concerned because Trinity could not be described as an institution national in scope, influence or, indeed, aspiration.

That time has long since faded into the dim past, but the record will be there in the Trinity College history which now approaches completion under the scholarly pen of Professor Glenn Weaver. There were days when a smaller, perhaps less enlightened and less sophisticated campus viewed with disquiet incursions of people who were different.

Change was less rapid then. Today change is a natural ingredient of the academic life. Apropos is the story President Jacobs told last fall in one of his informal talks with students. It concerned another liberal arts college not Trinity. The mother of an incoming freshman approached the college's president during the freshman week reception for parents of new students. There was a note of anxiety in her voice.

"I am entrusting my only son to you for four years, Doctor," she trilled. "Do you think college will change him?"

"Madam, I certainly hope so," the president replied.

Part of the change that comes with college is achieved when the motivated youth has sought a new setting.

Ousman Sallah, Trinity senior from The Gambia, West Africa, soon to be a major diplomatic representative of his young country that has been created by an ancient people, will tell you he has changed during his years at Trinity. So, of course, has freshman Peter S. C. Chang of Hong Kong; and Chikungwa Mseka, senior pre-medical student from Malawi, East Africa; and Kiau Loi,

8

fifth-year engineering student from Malaysia, to name a few of our adventurous foreign students. And in all cases, they'll report, the changes have been for the good.

And so, similarly, has William C. Danks, freshman from Colorado. Let's call him a typical representative of the young American who seeks out Trinity from far beyond New England's borders. Danks and his group make up 61.1 per cent of Trinity's freshmen, the Class of 1968. The New England contingent constitutes 37.9 per cent. The non-New Englanders are a varied crew- 38.6 per cent from the Middle Atlantic States; 18.2 from Middle and Far West; and 4.3 per cent from the South, a statistic that needs some explanation.

It was Howie Muir, director of admissions, who visited Thomas Jefferson High School in Denver and helped Danks glimpse the advantages of an eastern education for a Rocky Mountain region youth. Bill plans to study law and probably will do so in the excellent law school of the University of Denver. Right now he is learning much outside the classroom he would not have learned at home. He admires the New England countryside, so different from the majestic Rockies he can view from his home in South Denver, but "equally beautiful in a softer, gentler way." Hartford he cherishes for its art and its music, and now he looks forward to three years in Trinity's own Austin Arts Center. And on a campus equidistant from New York and Boston, he will know both great cities and their historic places well before he is graduated from Trinity.

"I came to Trinity because I wanted to know a different part of my country and because I wanted a small college," he said. "Mr. Muir told me I would find here a

Interviewer MacColl'54

challenging curriculum, students from all parts of the country from whom I could learn, and a faculty of distinguished teachers. He was right.

"Freshman Week was good. It made me feel I really belonged. Mr. Holland's lecture on Trinity's traditions made me happy to be a member of the College. But the student-administration relations, so well begun that week, have not been continued quite as I had hoped they would be. We need better communications with faculty and administration. I would like more all-college meetings like the big December meeting. Dean Heath's Wednesday night forums are great; so are the History Department meetings.

"We don't get as much as we should from association with Hartford. I hope we can do things in the Arts Center to bring more Hartford people to the campus.

"We need more school spirit. Why didn't we have a big rally before the soccer game with Dartmouth or the night before the Wesleyan and Amherst basketball games? Why not more interest in student government and more social life centered around the college?

"But Mr. Muir was right. I like it. I'm getting a firstrate liberal arts education. I'm learning from exchanges of ideas with guys from other parts of the country. The next three years will be good. I'm glad I'm here when one gets the feeling that the College is moving ahead building physically, intellectually, every way. I'll tell other Denverites to come here."

Trinity's growing national influence has not happened by chance. The Admissions Office ranges farther than formerly, visiting more schools, talking with more students and counselors, addressing more assemblies.

And that's not the whole story. Trinity alumni throughout the country are doing an increasingly effective job as ambassadors.

One of these, typical in many respects, is Alfred M. C. MacColl '54, of St. Louis. His responsibilities in connection with Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co., leave him little spare time. But as a Middle Westerner, he knows what Trinity can mean to a Middle Westerner. Here's his report: "Trinity, of course, is not well known out here so far from Hartford. It's up to us among the alumni to help

Freshman Danks

develop the image. This we try to do by talking with principals and guidance counselors. When they give us the names of boys who in their opinion can meet the Trinity standards, we make it our business to get in touch with the boys.

"It is our function to encourage preliminary applications for admission, to interview and make detailed reports on all candidates referred to us by the Admissions Office, and to ensure that the most potential of these receive full consideration from the Admissions Committee. Further than that, a most important interviewer's role comes after the candidate has been accepted. The interviewer also receives notification of a boy's acceptance. He must maintain the student's interest in the College so that he will make Trinity his final choice and appear on campus with the new freshman class in September.

"Not many hobbies are more rewarding. One of the best evenings I can recall was the recent Trinity dinner in St. Louis for secondary school principals and guidance officers.

"Purpose of the meeting was to familiarize the group with Trinity. Vice President Albert E . Holland '34 and Jack Waggett '63 , assistant director of admissions, represented the College and several local alumni served as hosts for the occasion. In Greater St. Louis we have the Getlin Scholarship as an inducement to a worthy Missourian who may need financial aid. Across the river, of course, they have the famed Illinois Scholarship program.

"These incentives are a great help, but there must be more in the future. I noted with satisfaction that the current capital campaign for $7,000,000 includes a large sum for new scholarships.

"I'd like to tell my Trinity Alumni colleagues all over the country that this kind of work for the College is the most rewarding pursuit one can find. You find in it an opportunity to repay what you feel you owe to the College. Even more, there is the satisfaction in helping a fine boy of great potential to have the same opportunity you were lucky enough to have. And then there is the fun of watching this boy's progress through his four years at Trinity. There's nothing like it!"

Transition to College Plan

An evaluation of a unique program

By Jacob W . Edwa rds '59

Director of the Summer Term Just seven years ago the notion of affording secondary school students the opportunity of engaging in serious summer study was unique and untried. Even more unusual was the idea of encouraging such students to enroll in a regular college summer school in order to take courses normally available only to college freshmen or sophomores. Today many colleges and universities offer to capable and willing young men and women of high school age a vast array of summer programs, institutes, and workshops.

In the summer of 1958 Trinity introduced to its Summer Term, then under the direction of Dean Robert M. Vogel, the Transition to College Plan; a program that has proven to be a prototype for a significant development in American higher education. The purpose of this essay, however, is not to laud the College's acumen, but rather to examine our unique experience with pre-college students studying in a college environment. During the past seven summers, 535 such students have enrolled in the Trinity's Summer Term. At the time of their admission, most had completed the eleventh grade and a

10

few the twelfth. Their uniformly excellent achievement and enthusiastic response to rigorous academic pressure has far surpassed initial hopes and anticipations.

The present decade has witnessed a rather remarkable change in the nature of college summer sessions. Once regarded as havens for those students who could not stand the rigors of the academic winter and who needed make-up work, many summer schools have now become integral parts of the overall educational goals of their parent institutions. Acceleration, specialization, the scarcity of summer employment, and general economic wellbeing, all have contributed to this shift away from the lower standards inherent in the summer schools of the past. Certainly "make-up students" must be given a chance to redeem themselves, but the fact that such students no longer dominate college summer sessions is an encouraging and exciting trend in higher education.

Trinity's policy of insisting on high academic standards during the summer months is one of the major factors that has contributed to the success of the Transition to College Plan. But what is this Plan? Its underlying purpose is to help bridge the gap (wider for some than for others) between the senior year of secondary school and the freshman year of college. Much attention has been given to this fundamental problem by the schools, but colleges and universities have just as much responsibility, and perhaps more, to complement the effective work being done at the secondary level.

High school juniors and seniors admitted to the Transition to College Plan enroll in the Summer Term at Trinity as if they were college undergraduates. They usually take two courses at the freshman or sophomore level during each or both of the five-week sessions. In order that they receive no special assistance, these boys and girls are not identified as high school students to their instructors, and a special effort is made to keep them in a minority in each course. With their anonymity preserved, the students are exposed to an academic experience that is precisely what they can anticipate at the college of their eventual choice. Finally, the Transition Scholars receive full college credit from Trinity upon successful completion of their courses .

Summer study programs designed to accommodate bright high school students have been criticized for attempting to "push" these youngsters too far, too hard, and too soon. For some boys and girls, such criticism is certainly valid. But experience with the Transition Scholars has clearly shown that many able high school stu-

dents find idleness distasteful and summer vacations very often loom ahead as nothing but three months of boredom. They are impulsively energetic and have a plethora of academic fuel in reserve at the end of the summer.

Most Transition Scholars are genuinely eager to learn.

Some desire to supplement their high school academic programs by taking courses they were unable to include in their schedules during the regular school year. Others, more often girls than boys, seek formal work in such disciplines as psychology, archaeology, and philosophy, which are usually not offered at the secondary level. A few have progressed far enough in a particular field that college-level courses afford the only opportunity for uninterrupted study. And for an even smaller number, the bolstering of college admission credentials influences the decision to undertake formal study during the summer.

The fact that the College grants both qualitative and quantitative credit for work successfully completed by the Transition Scholars is significant in two respects.

First, credit helps assure students that their work is truly on a par with what they will eventually encounter in college. Secondly, a few high school students are aware, or soon become aware, of the possibilities and advantages of earning the bachelor's degree in three years rather than four. Several eastern colleges, including Cornell, Yale, and Trinity have paved the way for scholars to complete graduate work on an accelerated basis. At present, only a limited number of students are enrolled in these programs, but soaring costs and an increasing college population will assuredly make acceleration more inviting.

An evaluation of the academic records of the 535 participants in the Transition to College Plan must necessarily be qualified. The group was admitted only after cautious deliberation between Trinity officials and secondary school guidance counselors. With few exceptions, these boys and girls shared several enviable characteristics: intelligence, diligence, eagerness to follow directions, and a sincere desire to pick the brains of their professors on just about any subject imaginable. Also, for the first time in their educational experience, the students enjoyed an environment in which they bad absolutely nothing to lose. On arriving at Trinity, they possessed some rather astonishing and warped impressions of the "frightening" academic demands that lay ahead.

But for most, the end of the summer came too soon, and they returned to their schools more confident of their abilities to cope with college-level work.

A statistical analysis of the grades achieved by the Transition Scholars reveals some remarkable figures. In the seven years, 535 alumni of the Plan have completed 977 half-year courses. Their achievement in these courses would put most college freshmen to shame.

More than 86% of the grades are above the "D" level, and 18 % fall in the "A" range. For the few students who failed their courses (and less than 4 % of all

grades were below passing) , the summer was by no means a total loss. Hopefully, the jolt they received at Trinity led them to a change in study habits and attitude prior to the time when such grades might be disastrous.

But marks tell only part of the story. Reports about some of the side effects of the Transition Plan are more significant. Many of the participants returned to their schools with a more mature and sophisticated attitude toward learning. Long, quiet hours in the library and seemingly impossible reading assignments impressed upon them their own capacity to handle large quantities of material. They discovered that college professors are generally happy to help those in academic difficulty, but only if initiative for such assistance comes from the student. In addition, they learned through examinations, supplementary reading assignments, and term papers that there is much more to a course than mere rote memorization.

Transition from school to college involves another area that warrants attention. To a very large degree, academic success in college is dictated by a student's ability to cope with the freedom he enjoys outside of the classroom. During the summer sessions, every reasonable effort is made to provide for the high school students, all of whom are urged to reside on campus, an atmosphere free from unnecessary (and unwelcomed) supervision. While the rapid academic pace of the Summer Term does not lend itself to a full extra-curricular program, a few activities such as lectures, plays, dances, and cultural trips are sponsored by the College. The choice is just wide enough to illustrate the importance of choosing outside activities with care and forethought.

A major goal of all colleges is to teach (in the fullest sense of the word) its students to conduct themselves as responsible adults. Good taste and refinement are not direct products of the classroom, but result from the total school and college experience. The Transition to College Plan exposes students of high school age to the many broad and diverse aspects of college life: spontaneous "bull sessions," an academic honor system, lonely but exciting hours of reading, and presumably some ventures one is never likely to hear about. The responsible and mature manner in which the Transition Scholars have accepted this free and "liberal" environment has been most impressive. Of the 535 students, only two have been required to leave Trinity for disciplinary reasons.

The failure of colleges and universities to define precisely their educational goals has led to the accusation that the present generation is being cheated.

Summer study programs similar to the Transition to College Plan provide a partial answer to this charge, for secondary school juniors are given a chance to discover for themselves what higher education is all about. They are indeed pushed hard and far at an "early age," but the bright and well-motivated participants in the Transition Plan at Trinity have reacted to their experience with universal enthusiasm and marked success.

An Undergraduate's Viewpoint

By David Graybill '65 The most popular challenge for any college student is his "identity crisis" - to find a personality within himself and to relate it to something ... anything. It's com~on parl~nce for one to label any mood of perceptiv,e I~trospectwn. ~n "iden~ity crisis." The freshman is particularly sensitive to thts search for himself since the absence of the security of home is vividly acute. It's not uncom~on , in. fact, for the incoming student to spend mor~ time ~dmg out about himself than in strictly academic pursmts. The overriding principle of those first fe~ days is to feel comfortable at "Trin," to get "in" as qmckly as possible. For some students the transition is no effort at all: maybe they didn't wear socks in seconda~y school, either. Others find the adjustment more difficult: they actually might never have been blithering drunk in high school.

But the "no-socks" fad and alcohol are only the veneer of the struggle between the person and the number.

The heart of the crisis is much more piercing than any standard of "coolness" seen on the Long Walk. It has no specific definition; for its nature is not categorical.

It may. come once ... or more; it may last long ... or short; It ~ay be something ... or apparently nothing at all. But Its ~ssence lies in that it transcends any single moment or circumstance of the college student's life. !n their "Moral Revolution on the U.S. Campus" the editors of Newsweek interjected, "Today's campus code may ?e tomorr?w's national morality." Though it may lack m profundity, the truth of the statement cannot be denied. The editors of Newsweek were certainly not alone in voicing their concern, either. After all, where are y~ung people going? Or more significantly, what, if anythmg defines this "campus code?"

College li~e is, above all, an experience with reality.

The real umqueness of the student's life then lies in its individuality, the impossibility of limitu;g its :neaning by any stereotyped definition. No one student typifies

12

another any more than he personifies youth in general.

Each one is himself; his actions and reactions are his own. Any attempt, consequently, to generalize with respect to college life must be conducted with extreme caution.

Yet. the modern day's preoccupation with (psycho) analysis, .clearly purposed to "help" young people with their "problems," has stimulated a wave of articles whi~h probe into this peculiar species of man and try !o discover what motivates him - emotionally and physIcally. Most notable are those articles which appeared last ~ear in Time and Newsweek and, most pitifully, the one m Look, where four years are so brilliantly and succinctly summed up in four pages of print and pictures. Comment on a society whose moral and social sta~dards are constantly changing is well-justified and qmte salutary. The editors of Time and Newsweek l~rg~ly, reflected ~his. The shibboleth of the "Soaring SIXties can certamly never be equated with that of the Victorian or even Jazz Age societies; any effort to do so is necessarily crippled by prejudices - especially if the prese~t social mores are set against a backdrop of t~e Amencan Puritan tradition. That society is permisSive - and not by implication promiscuous - may well be the result of an increasingly complex society with its guarded virtues of freedom "of" and "from" just about eve~ything, its idealized fluidity , its acute sensitivity. A soc~ety, therefore, that cannot change is not really a S}!Ctety.

'Approaches to the problems of growth and expansion which plague our society and which seem most particularly to badger our youth must remain consistent with these changes. As an example, Time, in reference to a moral laxity, purported that the permissiveness of our society no longer recognizes the dogmatic "Stop it's wrong.I" but rather the subtle persuasiveness of an' "Is it I?eaningful?" As reason for this oblique approach, the editors continue: "Most significant of all, the age-old moral injunctions are less readily accepted by the young -partly (or more) because they sense that so many parents don't really believe in them either."

No one can live our lives for us - college student or coal miner. Adolescence, with its growing pains of doubt and confusion, can neither be glossed over nor hurried excessively by the inwosition of the adult standard of a previous generation- and consequently another society.

Any such attempt would stifle its vigor and distort its value for the individual young perspn. Youth is frivolous and rebellious by nature. Young people are without exception as individualistic as they are idealistic; nothing grates more inside of them than to see themselves (or even for someone else to see them) as functions of a machine- as another statistic. . Young people don't need surveys or Gallup polls to ltve; they only need themselves. With a quiet reserve, Newsweek concludes: "The colleges can only present the contemporary facts of life to their undergraduates as candidly as possible and then keep their fingers crossed, hoping that somehow the lesson seeps in. It means taking a chance on their intelligence, but that, after all, is the real nature of education . . .. " ISN'T IT?

Commentary: The New Chemist

By Edward Bobko Associate Professor of Chemistry What is it that is so new about the new chemist? Does he really differ very much from his immediate predecessors? Well, I must admit that in many respects the chemist has not changed very much. If there happens to be one in a crowd you can still trust your nose to find him! Nevertheless, the chemist is a changed man. The new chemist is the product and the producer of a fantastic, all but unbelievable growth of chemical knowledge. During the past decade alone, the fund of chemical knowledge has doubled. We have learned as much chemistry during the past ten years as had been learned in all of the preceding years of recorded history.

To come to the point and to answer my initial question, I say that the new chemist, in contrast to the old, more and more acts like a physicist, talks like a mathematician and thinks that he will be the one that solves some of the basic problems of the biologist. Far-fetched? Let me elaborate.

I say that the new chemist is more and more acting like a physicist because, in the practice of his art, the chemist is increasingly using techniques and instruments originally conceived and developed by physicists. He is no longer primarily a tilter of test tubes. He has become a pusher of buttons and a twister of dials. Infrared and ultraviolet spectrophotometers, gas chromatographs and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers are just a few of the instruments whose use has allowed the chemist to answer questions that, ten or twenty years ago, he would not have dared to ask. The new chemist is still capable of mixing up a witches' brew, but nowadays he seems to prefer to practice black-box magic.

I say that the new chemist is more and more talking like a mathematician because the theories and principles of modern chemistry are to a greater and greater extent being stated in terms of concepts, so abstract as to virtually defy definition by words alone. Only a mathematical formula will do. The very names of these concepts have a mathematical ring - quantum number, acidity function , B-parameter and (that skeleton in the scientist's closet) the "fudge factor." Excluding the lastnamed but including many more, these new constructs of the scientist's imagination, despite their lack of intuitive warmth, have provided the light that has guided the chemist in his unprecedented and spectacular exploration of the unknown.

Small wonder, then, that this brash new chemist, his head stuffed with mathematical symbols, his black boxes at the ready, should in his search for new worlds to conquer, poach upon the preserve of the biologist. And, indeed, with what results! From no field of science have come discoveries as significant, exciting and wondrous as those from the borderland between chemistry and biology, the region known, according to one's bias, as biochemistry or molecular biology. Our knowledge of the nature of proteins, the functions of enzymes and the transmission of heredity has been greatly increased by the labors of the new chemists, about fifteen of whom have, as a consequence, been awarded the Nobel Prize in recent years.

Whatever else may be said about him, the new che1nist, part physicist, part mathematician, part biologist, is certainly a symbol of another phenomenon of our times - the growing

interdependence and unity of the natural sciences.

The nurture of the new chemist demands an appropriate educational philosophy. In this brief article, I will be able to but mention four propositions that are basic to this philosophy. In all honesty I cannot claim them to be as new as the new chemist, however, I believe that they are as applicable to the education of the new scientist in general as to the new chemist in particular.

One - The student who would become a new scientist must be provided with as broad a scientific background as possible. His undergraduate study of the allied sciences and of mathematics should require at least as much of his time as his study of his major itself.

Two - In the curriculum of the new science, the content of each and every science course must be governed by the rule of maximum relevance. That fact, idea or technique that was essential must be replaced by that one that is essential.

Three - In the education of the new scientist, particular emphasis must be placed upon the application of knowledge to solve problems and to discover new knowledge.

Such an emphasis may be achieved by the provision for undergraduate participation in research and by the formulation of examinations that demand of the student not simply a display of his knowledge, but rather, proof of his ability to use knowledge.

Four - By repeated exhortation and by the example of his mentors, the would-be new scientist must be convinced of the necessity and imbued with the desire to pursue a lifetime of learning. For him to do otherwise would be to court disaster.

For, whatever his age, he would soon become an old scientist.

FACULTY PROMOTIONS

Faculty Notes

The recently published Report of The Dean for 1963-1964 reveals that ten members of the Faculty were recipients of grants and fellowships during that academic year. In the Department of Biology, Professors Burger, Galbraith and Van Stone were doing research under grants from the National Institutes of Health. In Chemistry, Professors Bobko and DePhillips were recipients of grants from the National Science Foundation and the Research Corporation, respectively.

In the Department of Physics, Dr. Lindsay held a National Science Foundation Research Grant and Assistant Professor Howard held a Nuclear Science Education Grant.

Professor Dunn held a General Electric Foundation grant in the field of applied economics; Professor Minot worked under a fellowship from the Saxton Memorial Trust for writing; and Professor Herschberger's National Science Foundation Grant was renewed for work in psychology.

Dr. Frederick L. Gwynn, chairman of the Department of English, has been granted a leave of absence for the Trinity Term to continue writing begun during his sabbatical leave in the Christmas Term. He is also serving as a part-time Research Associate for the Modern Language Association in New York City, working on projects connected with improving the teaching of English in schools and colleges.

Professor Gwynn is Secretary-Treasurer of the Association of Departments of English , a national organization of college-university English chairmen.

The publishing firm of Prentice-Hall has recently published the completely revised second edition of The Case for Poetry: A Critical Anthology, which Professor Gwynn edited with R. W. Condee and A. 0 . Lewis. Random House is issuing the Vintage Edition of Faulkner in The University: Class Conferences at The University of Virginia , which Dr. Gwynn edited with J. L. Blotner.

Mr. Charles B. Ferguson, M.A. '59 has been appointed Director of the New Britain (Conn.) Museum of American Art. Mr. Ferguson resigned as Instructor in Fine Arts at Trinity at the end of the Christmas Term. Mr. Ferguson joined the faculty in 1954 as a part-time instructor in studio work and the history of art and was appointed full-time instructor in 1959.

Chaplain Tull

The Rev. Mr. Alan Condie Toll was named Chaplain of the College by the Trinity Trustees at the Board's January meeting. Chaplain Toll began his duties February 1 and also continues as a member of the Department of Religion. He fills the post left vacant when former Chaplain J. Moulton Thomas left to become Priest-in-Charge at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Middlebury, Vt., and to serve as Chaplain to Episcopal students at Middlebury College.

Mr. Tull was graduated from Stanford University in 1955 with the B.A. degree and from General Theological Seminary in 1958, when he took the degree of Bachelor of Sacred Theology. He spent the next three years as vicar in the Episcopal Missionary District of the State of Utah where he also served as Priest-incharge of two missions to the Ute Indians. He returned in 1961 to General Theological Seminary for three years as a Fellow and Tutor in advanced study for the degree of Doctor of Theology.

In a letter to the College Community, President Jacobs said, "As Chaplain of the College, Mr. Tull has been requested by me to give top priority to the recommendation of a program of religious observance in the best interests of the College. I have consistently taken the position that this important matter should await the appointment of the new chaplain. Pending his recommendations and acceptance by the Trustees, the current rule concerning religious observance continues.

"Effective at once, however, including the recent Christmas Term, the requirement of a signed statement in connection with religious observance is abolished."

Eight men from Trinity took part in the annual humanities lecture series of the Conard High School in West Hartford.

Dr. Theodor M. Mauch spoke on "The Judeo-Christian Concept." In the area of Renaissance Man, Dr. Michael Campo '48, Professor John C. E. Taylor and Dr. Clarence H. Barber spoke on literature, art and music.

In the area of Modern Man, Dr. Richard K. Morris '40 spoke on "Basic Concepts" while Dr. Barber spoke on "Trends in Modern Music" and Professor Mitchel Pappas spoke on "Art and The Contemporary Artist."

Dr. M. Curtis Langhorne and Mr. F. Gardiner F. Bridge spoke to the juniors on "The Future is Now" and "College Entrance."

They are Dr. Norton Downs, History; Dr. Robert Lindsay, Physics; Dr. Richard Scheuch, Economics; Dr. James M. VanStone, Biology; and Dr. E . Finlay Whittlesey, Mathematics. Two promotions in rank are already in effect: Dean of Students Dr. Roy Heath to Professor of Psychology; and Dr. Albert L. Gastmann to Assistant Professor of Government.

Dr. Norton Downs, whose academic specialty is medieval history and the crusades, joined the Trinity faculty in 1950.

He is an author and editor in his field, his latest book being Medieval Pageant, Readings in Medieval History, published in 1964.

Professor Downs bad previously taught at his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, where he also earned his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. He is active in the Connecticut Historical Society, the Medieval Academy of America, the American Historical Society and the Cercle Cultural de Royaument, France.

Dr. Downs is a rowing enthusiast and serves as faculty adviser to the Trinity College Rowing Association. He has been a prime activator of the Friends of Trinity Rowing and is a member of the program conunittee of the Rowing Coaches Association of America.

Dr. Albert L. Gashnann first came to Trinity in 1954 as an instructor in Modern Languages. Prior to that he had served from 1950 to 1954 as a teacher and principal of the Abraham Lincoln High School in Lima, Peru.

He left Trinity for two years in 1957 for further research and travel abroad.

In 1961 he was transferred to the Department of Government where he specializes in international politics, international organization and relations particularly in nations whose languages are Spanish, German, French or Dutch.

Dean Roy Heath joined the Trinity Faculty last fall as associate professor of psychology. Prior to coming to Trinity, he had been Director of the Counseling Center at the University of Pittsburgh from 1956 until 1963 when he went to Amherst College as visiting professor of psychology and student counselor. Dr. Health has contributed many articles to professional journals and is the author of The Reasonable Adventurer, a study of the development of a group of students he had counseled at Princeton University.

Dr. Heath is a graduate of Princeton and was a research fellow at the Psychological Clinic Laboratories at The Training School, Vineland, N.J. During World War II he was a U.S. Army psychologist following which he earned the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in 1947 and 1952, respectively, at the University of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Robert Lindsay joined the Department of Physics in 1956. He is a graduate of Brown University and holds the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Rice University. He served as a member of the Thermodynamics Section of the National Bureau of Standards from 19511953 and taught physics at Southern Methodist University from 1953 until

his appointment to Trinity.

In addition to his classroom teaching, be bas been conducting research in antiferromagnetic materials in the Trinity laboratories under grants from the National Science Foundation. He is a contributor to the World Book Encyclopedia and to the American Institute of Physics Handbook.

Dr. Richard Scheuch, an authority on labor relations, was appointed to the Department of Economics in 1950. A graduate with highest honors from Princeton in 1942, he continued his studies there after the war, earning the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in 1948 and 1952.

One of the original Woodrow Wilson Fellows at Princeton, he is now a member of the Foundation's regional selection committee. He was one of the recipients of the Trinity Student Senate Faculty A wards presented for the first time last May by the Senate for "caliber of instruction, academic contributions and for active student-faculty relations."

Professor Scheuch is a member of the Greater Hartford Council on economic education and was appointed to the Connecticut State Commission to study collective bargaining by municipalities. He is a corporator of the Renbrook School and a director of the Symphony Society of Greater Hartford.

Dr. James M. Van Stone, an experimental embryologist, was appointed to the Department of Biology in 1954 soon after receiving his Ph .D. degree from Princeton, where he was a Proctor Fellow. He is a graduate of Wesleyan University and taught at the Peddie School before taking up graduate work at Princeton.

Professor Van Stone has continued his research at Trinity on the relation of nerves to amphibian limb regeneration under grants from th~ National Science Foundation and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. He has bad several papers on this subject published in tbe Journal of Experimental Zoology and the Journal of Morphology .

He is a member of the American Association of Anatomists, the American Society of Zoologists and the Society for the Study of Development and Growth.

Dr. E. Finlay Whittlesey, who joined the Department of Mathematics in 1954, is an authority on topology, a branch of mathematics devoted to the foundations of analysis and geometry. He is a graduate magna cum laude in mathematics from Princeton, where he also earned his M.A. and Ph .D. degrees. He has taught at Pennsylvania State University and at Bates College.

He has also published articles on Finite Surfaces and delivered technical papers before the American Mathematical Society, of which be is also a member. He was awarded a Danforth Foundation Summer Study Grant in 1960 and National Science Post-Doctoral Fellowship in 1962-1963 to continue his research on topological properties and surfaces and three-dimensional manifolds at Princeton.

_geflers To THE EDITORS: . . . Everything in the article ("396 Main Street") was beautifully done script and photographs alike - and has been favorably commented upon by many friends. You were thoroughly understanding in dealing with yo':lr subjec~, and it constitutes a record wh1ch my sister and I will treasure. Thank you for this contribution to our family history and to the story of old Main Street in Hartford.

Anson T. McCook '02 To THE EDITOR: Many thanks for the Alumni Magazine ... containing the McCook Homestead article. It was certainly well done . . . and, needless to say, the McCooks are deserving of recognition.

Arthur W. Leibundgath, Director Antiquarian & Landmarks Society, Inc., of Connecticut To THE EDITOR: Another good issue. (And it's a comfort to see I'm not the only one in the November-in-December category.) ...

Chesley Worthington, Editor Brown Alumni Magazine To THE EDITOR: My compliments to the editors of the Alumni Magazine on "396 Main Street."

I believe that "nostalgia" is the word I should use but the good old, "It takes me back sixty-three years," is better.

My entrance to Trinity was largely by pull and push of my oldest brother, Fred '87. I was not properly prepared but once in I was supposed to stay and be graduated.

My first obstacle was French 2 under "Johnny" McCook . The old "Pirate" frightened bell out of me. If I knew the answer to his questions, I was utterly tongue tied.

After I had taken my final examination in June of my freshman year I timidly asked him for my mark.

"Haight," he said, "Do you expect to take French 3 next year?"

"No, Sir, not if I have passed French 2."

"You passed," he said, and it was no compliment to me the way he said it.

That first year High Meyer '03 got a severe cut over his eye in the Wesleyan game and "Fussy," Dr. J. B. McCook, bandaged him up and told him to come to the office that evening. High needed three stitches taken in that wound, and, as Dr. McCook had an infected finger, he coolly asked me to take them. I did it, under his careful instruction and he wanted me to study medicine.

"Fussy" and Dr. E. Terry Smith cut off one of my tonsils in 1904, and I bled for hours. I was in the nursing home for five days. Almost the first meal I had on being discharged was at 396 Main Street - mostly oyster stew and ice cream which I could swallow.

Every picture in this article is familiar to me, even Miss Frances, and I am glad I conferred on "Johnny" the highest degree in the Haight family - I gave him a pair of partridges.

French 2 was hell but dear old "Johnny" McCook was tops.

The Poetry Center of the College brought the distinguished poet Howard Nemerov of Bennington College to TrinIty. for the first week in March as the 1965 Poet-in-Residence. Mr.. Nemerov was elected February 13 to the National Institute of Arts and Letters, tbis nation's highest honor society of the arts.

During his residency Mr. Nemerov read and discussed his poetry informally in classes and seminars and drew large audiences of faculty, students, and local residents to his two evening lectures and a poetry reading.

Mr. Nemerov's first lecture, "Bottom's Dream, or the Likeness of Poems and Jokes," analogized a poem and a joke in their concern with "doubleness of meaning, like riddles, epigrams, parables and metaphors." A critical resemblance is found in "the problem of the ending," in the "completion" of each and "the silence with which you greet the thing absolutely done." The major difference between the two, said the Poet-in-Residence, is that "a poem is more ambitious than a joke."

"Nemerov reading Nemerov" revealed the poet's skill in the use of irony and satire. He read such poems as "Boom!," "Primer of the Daily Round" and "Absent-Minded Professor." Of the latter he remarked, "Some of you here will remember the absent-minded professor, but when I got to college they were all flying to Wasbington with brief cases."

His last evening at Trinity, Mr. Nemerov lectured on "Tbirteen Ways of Looking at a Skylark," wbich was a consideration of the place of poetry and the poet in society today. Mr. Nemerov told his audience "that you cannot make a living by writing verses, but you can make a quite good living by talking about writing verses." He described poets as "eccentric oddities who on a closer inspection turn out to be eccentric oddities like everyone else." He defined poetry "as an activity resistant to definition . . . or an activity extremely tolerant of definitions, absorbing and transforming these into its own substance just as the Cbinese are said to have digested, during many centuries, whole populations of invaders."

The Experiment in International Living Program brought eleven Brazilian students to Trinity from February 8-21 as part of their United States tour. As guests of the college, the three women and eight men from Sao Paulo, Brazil, were introduced to many aspects of undergraduate life. The women were received as guests in the homes of President Albert C. Jacobs, and Dean Robert M. Vogel, and the boys resided in Trinity dormitories. A major emphasis of their visit was their opportunity to attend a diversity of classes and various college social, cultural and athletic functions.

The College conducted a "Brazilian Day" in honor of the eleven visiting students on February 11, with Raymond C. Parrott '53 as guest speaker. Mr. Parrott, who was graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Trinity, is now special assistant to Sargent Shriver, director of the United States Peace Corps. Mr. Parrott described the Peace Corps and its work and goals, particularly its projects in BraziL Last year, the Corps had 210 volunteers in Brazil, including former Trinity track captain 'Mark Smith '62, who completed two years of service in that country last summer.

Following their Trinity visit, the students traveled to New York City and Washington, D.C., before they departed for Brazil March 7.

Librarian Donald B. Engley and Dr. Richard Morris '40, associate professor of education, presented the Connecticut Education Association with a complete set of Henry Barnard Journals of Education, dating from 1856 to 1880.

Henry Barnard, noted 19th-century American educator, devoted his life to diagnosing and solving the problems of public education. His Journals of Education, which are a series of publications bound annually, contain material which was "collected by travel, correspondence, purchase, and exchange" to deal exclusively with "the History, Discussion, and Statistics of Systems, Institutions and Methods of Education in different countries, with special reference to the condition and wants of our own." Henry Barnard made great contributions to the early days of American public education.

Dr. Morris refers to these contributions as they relate to contemporary issues in education as "the Barnard legacy: that we continue to have faith in the taxsupported public school system; that we recognize in that system a unique American social invention for the preservation and perpetuation of our democratic way of life; that we look upon teaching as one of the great callings of mankind and that we bend every effort to raise it to the full rank of a profession; that we have the vision wbich dares to place in the hands of responsible government, conceived as synonymous with the people themselves, the right and duty to foster universal education at local, state and national levels of administration."

Dr. Robert M. Vogel, Dean of the College, has announced that 220 Trinity stu-

dents, representing 21.5 per cent of the College's 1,021 total enrollment, have been named to the Dean's list for work completed during the Trinity Term.

This new list of " 'B' average or better" students includes 106 seniors, 56 juniors, 31 sophomores, 25 freshman and 2 fifthyear engineering students. Thomas A. Smith '44, Assistant Dean and College Registrar, attributes the predominance of upperclassmen on the list to the fact that "these people are concentrating on their major field of study where the student's interest and motivation are highest."

There appears to be- an interesting correlation between varsity athletics and the Dean's list this year. About one in five of these 220 undergraduates is also a regular player on a successful Trinity athletic squad.

Trinity is pleased to announce that the Byron Spofford Awards will be continued this season. During the past two seasons, Mr. Charles Byron Spofford Jr. '16 has generously donated a series of awards to members of the Trinity College Glee Club and the Trinity Chapel Choir in recognition of outstanding service by undergraduates in these musical organizations and as incentives for further efforts to promote the work of the groups. Awards of $100 and $50 each will be presented to members of the present Glee Club and an award of $50 will be presented to a member of the choir on Honors Day, May 13.

Embassy 1965, which annually brings local clergymen and laymen to Trinity to discuss problems pertinent to the lives of college students, met this year to consider the problem of "Apathy or Idolatry." "Why should a person abandon the comfort of apathy for the dangers of taking a stand?" Students and the stuoent newspaper have both asked this question, concerned by the lack of involvement and commitment and interest in and for contemporary happenings in the college community.

The Embassy program began with a panel discussion designed to clarify or diagnose the problem of student apathy, especially as it relates to J udeo-Christian tradition. Panel members, participating with the chairman, the Rev. Alan C. Toll, Trinity Chaplain, were Lewis Fox, Hartford attorney; Rabbi Simon Noveck of Emmanuel Synagoghe; and Dr. Austin Herschberger, associate professor of psychology at Trinity. Mr. Fox presented the advantages of commitment to social, civic, business and religious groups.

Rabbi Noveck considered commitments established through Biblical tradition. Dr. Herschberger brought apathy and commitment into the realm of psychological insights. Following their presentations, members of the panel exchanged questions and opened the discussion to the audience.

The panel members were joined by local clergymen and they dined with the students in college and fraternity dining halls where they were able to gain a more personal evaluation of student opinions on the Embassy topic.

Saint Stephen's Church in Providence: The History of a New England Tractarian Parish, 1839-1964. By Norman Joseph Catir Jr. B.A. '55, M.A. '62, Trinity (St. Stephen's Church) , 222 pp.

Reviewed by

G. BRINTON THOMPSON

Professor of History

This small, well printed and edited book, made especially by the Crimson Printing Company for St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, is obviously aimed at a select group of readers interested in local church history. Mr. Catir's readable style and good organization combined with his sure grasp of the subject as well as the historical background have made this work enjoyable reading. In addition, the footnote references in the back of the book are complete and excellent.

Tractarianism derives its name from pamphlets published 1833 to 1841 at Oxford University which gave rise to the Oxford Movement, within the Anglican Church, stressing the "High Church" approach. At the beginning, the Tractarian Movement was not a bit popular in Rhode Island, or for that matter in most of the United States, but St. Stephen's bravely stuck to its principles.

Twelve rectors have served the church during the past century and a quarter, some for very brief tenures. On the other hand the Rev. Henry Waterman, D.D., had two terms totalling twenty-eight years and the Rev. George McLellan Fisk's tenure lasted thirty-five years. At times the parish had financial difficulties, but devoted priests and laymen surmounted the problem.

Because of its location, St. Stephen's bas bad strong ties with Brown University which bas, no doubt, proved a benefit to both. One feels reading this work that this church has been well loved by many generations of parishioners. This book alone attests to the pride of the present congregation in the 125 years of St. Stephen's history.

ALUMNI IN THE THEATER A Review by E. NICHOLS Ill Associate Professor of Drama GEORGE

Production of Tiny Alice

By Edward F. Albee '50 Tiny Alice, the newest play of Edward Albee '50, opened on Broadway to bewildered critical reception in late December. On one point there was unanimous agreement: the play is a mystery.

Even Albee, in a pre-opening interview,

admitted, "I'm not sure what it's about, either." Notwithstanding, or perhaps because of its perplexity, Tiny Alice has become Broadway's most discussed play.

The story, in brief, is about Miss Alice, the richest woman in the world, who offers a cardinal of the Catholic Church " I 00 million (dollars, souls or what, we do not learn) a year for 20 years."

Brother Julian, virginal and pious lay secretary to the cardinal, is sent to Miss Alice's gigantic chateau to arrange the details. There Miss Alice seduces, marries and almost at once deserts him. Not, however, before subjecting Julian to a ritualistic trial that ends in his being killed for reasons which he, as well as the audience, fails to comprehend.

In general the critics agree on Albee's superior writing ability : "Mr. Albee has the true dramatists's gift for stage expression in terms of conflict"; "Albee is still the best of our younger playwrights"; "A deep stream of dramatic perception and committed passion flows underground in him, and when it occasionally comes to the surface it irrigates our dry theater the way almost nothing else is doing these days." But they are all of one accord in their view that Albee has failed in his pretensions: " .. . once he bas got us in the middle of the thing, his sense of direction seems to fail him . . .. "; "Albee characteristically exhibits an eventual failure of mind, an inability to infuse his action with thought, and seeks to cover that up by arbitrary fantasy and metaphysical gymnastics"; "[the play's] artistic method is too generalized to wound or even to touch us.

Its pathos is weak, its scorn jejune, its diction lacking in most of its author's flair"; ''The work is certainly very mystifying, full of dark hints and riddling allusions, but since it is also clumsy and contrived, and specious in the extreme, the mystery that interested me most was whether the author was kidding his audience or kidding himself."

The whole production is spectacularly mounted and impeccably acted . And despite the critics' predominantly negative reaction, audiences are not staying away in droves, and the play shows no signs of an early closing.

Match Play

By Lee Kalcheim '60, in N ew Theatre in America (Dell Publishing Co., Inc. ) Following a year at the Yale School of Drama, Lee Kalcbeim '60 moved to New York where be is working to establish himself as a playwright. He organized and directed the Compass Cabaret Improvisational Theatre which attracted favorable notice in Boston . Three of his one-act plays have been produced at the

Village South Theatre by Theatre 65, a producing group giving encouragement through performance of works by promising young playwrights.

One of Kalcheim's plays, Match Play, has just been published in New Theatre in America (Dell Publishing Co., Inc.), edited by Edward Parone '49. Last summer Kalcheim was sent to Hollywood for two months to learn the intricacies of writing for television. While he was there he wrote two scripts for the Alfred Hitchcock TV show. Presently he is in Minneapolis, where he will spend six weeks working with a community group that under a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation is producing one of Kalcheim's three-act plays.

Managing and Directing

Mark Healy '59, after a year at Yale went to New York in the hope of becoming a director. He became stage manager for a highly successful Six Characters in Search of an Author and directed a road company which performed it in Hartford . (For the second performance in Hartford, Healy had to step into the father's role when the actor playing the part injured himself.)

Recently Healy served as assistant to director William Ball in staging Tartuffe at the Lincoln Center Repertory Theatre.

This spring he will be directing the New York City Center Opera in a revival of Benjamin Britten's Midsummer Night's Dream . He will follow this at the McCarter Theatre in Princeton by directing the first U.S. performance of a Handel opera.

When the cold winds blow on the old March snow With a hint of Spring in the air We annually feel, it's time to deal With verse and prose- forswear!

Come June 'twas thirty-eight years ago A little band of us Heard "Doctor 0" say "Hoc tibe diplo" With no great amount of fuss.

We were a sorry lot, 'tis true As we sat there gowned in black But overall- a gallant crew Twas in numbers we were lack.

But back in nineteen twenty-three when first we hit The Hill We were a goodly bunch to see Before the first term's kill.

At New York: Seated- Doug Tansill'61, Steve Lockton '62, Walter Riley '26, and Paul Norman '23

With some of that and some of this A party here and there So very few made Dean Troxwell's list Our ranks were soon quite bare.

There was a favorable response to our letter last November suggesting that future reunions be combined affairs with the Classes of 1945 and 1947. There were over 40 affirmative answers from members of the three classes (plus one negative) and if this many, or more, return to Trinity in June 1966 we should have a fine Twentieth Reunion. A few people suggested that we also invite the Class of 1948, since many veterans graduating with that class had originally started with an earlier one. Your Committee will certainly consider this fine idea as we firm up plans for a combined reunion next year.

It was good to hear from so many to conjure up pleasant memories. AI Grover was uncertain as to which class he belongs, a common complaint of many who attended Trinity during the war.

els of military bureaucracy came a cry from specialist fourth-class lao Rawson.

(B.A., 1961, Trinity College, Conn., English major, took McNulty course in writing for publication.)

Writing from near Stuttgart, West Germany, Ian confesses: "I am now the public information man for the 540th Engineer Group; among other things, I am responsible for perpetrating those hideous releases."

It follows, more or less. For four months at Fort Dix, Ian studied communications, which means learning to lay wire and climb telephone poles. If a man can lay a wire, Army thought goes, be ought to be able to speak through it, and if he can speak, he can write, and so why not. ..

He adds, however, that that be devotes most of his time to photography ( . . . and if he can write, he can publish, and since pictures get published, he ought to be able to . . . ) at which he seems to have become quite accomplished . His work appears regularly in numerous military publications and includes full-page spreads in Stars and Stripes. Ian, with wife Lucy and daughter Nicole, expects to remain in Europe until his discharge in September.

And now, from the sponsor: "Savannah, Ga. - Navy Lieutenant jg., Andrew H. Forrester, son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew H. Forrester of 106 Woodmere Road, West Hartford, Conn., was a member. of one of the first U.S. Navy aircrews to compete in the U.S. Air Force Military Air Transport Service's (MATS) annual Aerial Delivery Cornpetition which ended Friday (November 13) at Hunter AFB, Ga . .. " "Lebanon, Mo. - First Lieutenant Robert M. Rodney Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert M. Rodney of 6 Pheasant Run, DeKalb, Ill., is a member of the U .S. Air Force Military Air Transport Service elements providing strategic airlift services for exercise Gold Fire I in the Ozark Mountains of south-central Missouri .. ."

Compare that to this concise, factpacked, nearly poetic postcard the alumni office received from Dick Gadd: "Graduated Air Force Flying School, Craig AFB, Ala. Feb. 63 . Promoted 1/ Lt. USAF, 10 June 63 . Received regular A.F. commission 30 June 64. Married Miss Anne Coley 11 July 64. Her home was Chicago & Denver. Presently stationed Travis AFB, Calif. Flying trans-Pacific into S.E. Asia, Australia, Japan, etc."

(Lately Dick bas been in training at the USAFSO Tropic Survival School, Albrook AFB, Canal Zone).

Tony Sanders is now out of the service, having given three-plus years to the Navy. He spent a month this winter skiing in Austria and plans to enter business school in the fall but is not sure yet where.

Reports from Chicago via several mouths indicate that Dick Schoadig and John Koretz have become fathers . Dick has joined a law firm there and John is working for Inland Steel.

In Paris there are two members of the class, myself and one who prefers to remain incognito. Incognito is studying at the Sorbonne and writing for a French economic journal. Should any of the class be passing through here, my address, subject to abrupt change, is 55 rue

Tell me about classmates you run into, too, when you write me news.

Bill Lackey is now a member of the New York Stock Exchange with DeCoppet and Doremus, bought a home in Bedford Village, N.Y., and states he "saw Frank Smith over the Christmas holidays. He still has one year left in the Marine Corps. Tried to get my 9-monthold son a date with his one month old girl." Much response, Frank??

Out on the West Coast again, Greg Cavanagh writes he's doing graduate work in history at Stanford. On the side be paints and plays drums with jazz groups "whenever there's any work."

Greg concludes with that famous declaration: ''I'm still single and probably will remain that way for quite awhile!"

Or Ted Hageman (USS Parle, DE - 708, c/ o FPO, N.Y.C.) at present an operations officer - or Larry D'Oench, who is flying turbine helicopters at Pensacola, Fla.

After a honeymoon in Antigua, the Leinbachs have settled into domestic life at 308 East 85th, Apt. 5C in New York City, where Mike is working for International Paper Co. Tragically the same group found themselves together again the following weekend in Maryland for Don Taylor's funeral. They were joined on that sad occasion by John Wardlaw, Perry Rianhart, Ed Casey, Tom Smith, Dave Raymond and Tony Saunders of the Class

of 1961. Fred Neulander performed the service. This group felt as most of us probably do that they would like to do something in memory of Don. To start it going, they have formed the nucleus of a committee, headed by Jack Waggett, which will be taking the steps to see that an appropriate memorial to Don becomes a reality. We should be hearing from them fairly shortly.

On a brighter note, Will Files writes that he and his wife Lyn are enjoying the rustic life in a log cabin, complete with wood stove, on the banks of the mighty Yukon River. A jack-of-all trades, he is teaching English, elemetary music and girls' P.E. at Fort Yukon High School.

It was one of the last days in the area for Dick Ulbrich, who had just finished OCS and was about to leave for duty on the west coast. The way the trend is going, we may have to have our fifth reunion in San Francisco.

A relative newcomer to the Boston area is Gary Millar, who has returned here to join a training program at New England Merchants Bank.

We have learned that Walter Burin~kas has made First Louey, USAF, and is stationed at Apdrews AFB just outside of Washington, D.C.

Rowing at Trinity

By Robert Harron

Rowing is informal at Trinity. It is also extremely active.

As the new term began, the largest squad of oarsmen Trinity has had reported for indoor work on the machines in Memorial Field House. It was cold outside that day, but things warmed up quickly when Coach Dave Spraker, in the pre-workout meeting, disclosed that Rollins College, Winter Park, Fla., had invited two Trinity crews, with substitutes, to be guests there for the spring recess.

Two Henley distance (one mile, 550 yards) races were scheduled in Florida. Trinity rowed Rollins and launched the new season April 1 at Lake Maitland, the Rollins racing water. On April 3, action shifted to Cyprus Gardens. Trinity's opponents there were Purdue, Florida Southern, and Jacksonville Universities.

Even more important than the races, however, was the opportunity to get in some early-season mileage under a good suo and on good water. The trip was scheduled so that no classroom time would be lost.

On the heels of the Florida announcement came additional welcome news. Winslow B. Ayer of West Hartford, president of the "Friends of Trinity Rowing," announced that a handsome contribution of $5,000 from one of the "Friends" had boosted the boat house building fund to $25 ,000. That's enough to justify the start of construction on the Connecticut River site in East Hartford south of the Charter Oak Bridge.

breaking ceremonies are planned for an early-April date.

The house will not be finished, however, for use this season. The crews will continue to row from the remodeled tobacco shed in South Windsor.

The squad traveled to Florida in a chartered bus paid for by private funds. To raise funds the oarsmen have been in a flurry of extra work on and off the campus, turning money earned over to a common fund husbanded by John M. Sartorius '66, of Tenafly, N.J., treasurer of the Trinity College Rowing Association. In mid-February the association held a campus clothing sale in Mather Hall that netted about $475. Seymour Perkins III '65, Plainfield, N.J., is president of the Association; Brewster Perkins '65, his brother, captain, and James Bishop '65, Phoenixville, Pa. , secretary.

Things look good. The varsity will be the most experienced Trinity has had. The freshman turnout included five former preparatory school crew captains.

Rollins College, which has been coached for many years by Dr. U. T . Bradley, professor of history and a former Princeton oarsman, has developed one of the strong small-college rowing establishments in the country. Rowing is a major sport at Rollins. The 1963 rollins varsity went to the final day of racing for the ancient Thames Challenge Cup in the Royal Henley Regatta before losing to the Argosies Boat Club of London.

Thirty-four eights of England, Canada, and the United States were in the field .

Fred Prillaman, an Illinois Scholar from Bloomington, Ill., becomes the tenth student in th e College's history to receive the "Blanket Award" for earning eight varsity letters. Th ey are held by his coaches: Bob Slaughter, three for swimming; Dan Jessee, three for Football: and Karl Kurth , two for track, with one held in abeyance for track this Spring. ' .(

Bantam's-Eye View of Sports The 1964-65 winter sports season saw Trinity records in basketball and swimming topple like the ten pins on the new bowling alleys in Mather Hall.

Junior basketball captain Jim Belfiore, recipient of the Arthur Wadlund "Outstanding Basketball Player" Award and sophomore freestyler, David Tyler, winner of the 1964-65 John Slowik "Outstanding Swimmer" Award were the prime movers in the assault on the college records, but the entire basketball team also got in on the act.

Belfiore changed the record every time he scored a point in the last four games as he set a new single season scoring mark with a final total of 465 points erasing Barry Leghorn's record of 367. Belfiore's average of 24.5 over the 19-game season was also a new mark breaking John Norman's 19.88 pace in the 1959-60 season. It appears now, with a two-season total of 831 points, that Belfiore will be the second 1,000-point man in Trinity basketball history and probably will have little trouble passing Leghorn's career total of 1,066.

Behind Belfiore were sophomore scoring ace Don Overbeck of New Canaan (351 points) and junior Richard Rissell of Sea Girt, N.J. (224 points). The team raced through the season setting five new marks while posting a 12-7 record. The team's total output of 1,693 points and its 89.1 game average are both new highs and the 108 points scored against Coast Guard February 28 was a Field House Record and an all-time high for a Trinity quintet. The team also scored 105 points three times on the road, a high mark for Trinity on an opponent's floor.

Richard Rissell received the Coach's Foul Shooting Trophy hitting on 30 of 35 from the line for a record 85.7 per cent. In the final game of the season he tied a mark of 11 for 11 from the line including six for six in overtime which lifted Trinity past the University of Hartford, 78-73.

A bright footnote to the basketball season is that all the starters except senior Robert Morisse of New York will be back next year and Coach Robie Shults will get some good sophomore talent moving up from Coach Harold Donnelly's 11-5 freshman team. Particularly promising are Robert Gutzman of Salmon, Idaho, (336 points) and 6'4" Roderick Middleton of Eau Gallie, Fla. Duff Tyler, like his father before him (David Tyler Jr. '43) was a one man show for the swimming team and set five college records in his varsity debut. His marks include four freestyle events, for 50-yards, :22.6; 100-yards, :49.6; 200-yards, 1:51.7, and for 500-yards, 5: 28.7. His fifth record came in his first varisty attempt at the 200-yard butterfly. In a grueling race Tyler defeated Wesleyan's highly touted James Van Kennan in the first confrontation of the two small college New England record breakers. Tyler's record performance was 2:13.5.

but it is etched in the memories of his teammates and his coach, Bob Slaughter. The speedster's amazing performance came at the tail end of a meet in which M.I.T. was leading 56-29 with just the 400-yard freestyle remaining. The Engineers got off to a good start and after 300 yards led Trinity by a third of the length of the pool. Tyler was Trinity's anchor man and with nothing to gain Duff turned on the speed, caught the M.I.T. swimmer after three pool lengths and in a final spurt won the relay by a good five feet. In gaining those last eight points for the relay team, the Trinity speedster had pushed himself to a :48.9 for his 100-yards, better than his record for the distance, but it won't show in the record book for it came in a relay.

Perhaps inspired by Tyler's performance, Trinity's relay team of Fred Prillaman of Bloomington, Ill., Charles Lorch of Rockford, Ill., Robert Camp of Akron, Ohio, and Tyler, West Hartford, set a Bantam record the next time out for the 400-yards at 3:36.3.

At the NCAA (College Division) , National Championships, at Illinois State University, Tyler led Trin to 18th place among 53 schools competing. "Duff" placed 6th in the 500 and 100-yard freestyle, and 5th in the 200-yard freestyle. His time of 5: 10.3 in the 500-yard freestyle trials is a New England record. The 400-yard freestyle relay team of Prillaman, Lorch, Bill Roth and Tyler finished 11th.

For his effort in the individual medley another sophomore swimmer, James H. Oliver, Sewickley, Pa., received the Coach's Most Improved Swimming Award.

In squash Renwick S. Mciver Jr., a senior from Bryn Mawr, Pa., won the campus squash championship and with it the Newton C. Brainard Trophy. Junior George E. Andrews of East Grand Rapids, Mich., was awarded the John E. Mason "Most Improved Squash Player" Award.

At the banquet a total of 27 varsity letters were awarded and 23 freshman numerals. For the 1965-66 season Duff Tyler was elected swimming captain, George E. Andrews squash captain and Jim Belfiore was reelected basketball captain, which makes him the second player in thirty years to captain a Trinity quintet twice.

Representatives of the hockey and fencing teams were also present at the awards dinner. The fencers added the 1965 New England tournament trophy to the glimmering awards at the head table. - R.M.S.
