Revision of B.A. Requirements Begins Facultf Reconsideration of Curriculum Faculty committees are midway in a reappraisal of the entire College curriculum in a broad survey of educational policy led by President Funston.

Inspection of general education requirements for the B.A . degree which wa completed last June, resulted in revision of the mathematics and foreign language requirements.

An "e cape clause" by which many studer.ts formerly avoided the study of mathematics was eliminated and all students are now required to pass a course in analytical geometry and elementary calculus. The mathematics requirement is intended to develop each student's ability to analyze and deal with abstractions.

In reconsidering the place of foreign language study in college work. the Faculty decided to require a minimum of two years of secondary school language credits of all candidates for admission, to place freshmen in language proficiency sections by testing, and to require each student to pa s one college course in a foreign language beyond the elementary course. The elementary course may be skipped by students who pass the proficiency test at entrance.

The new requirement will bring each student to proficiency in the use of a foreign language as a tool. The Faculty will recommend, but it is droppir.g its requirement, that students continue study in an additional year of foreign language reading.

Also abolished are regulations which obliged students who elected a modern language rather than Greek and Latin to take extra courses in linguistics and classical civilization.

The Faculty consideration of general education requirements for the B.A. degree involved rein spection of curricular measures to guide students toward six objectives: 1. Power to analyze and ability to deal with abstractions. 2. Effective expression in writing and speaking. 3. Establishment of high standards of value. 4. Understanding of scientific methods and appreciation of the large part science plays in the modern world. 5.

Knowledge of organization of modern society, (human relations). 6. Appreciation of our cultural heritage.

The revised requirements for general education reduce the prescribed course schedule from 60 semester hours to 48. All general education requirements will be finished in the freshman and sophomore years, leaving upperclassmen free to concentrate on a major study and electives.

Course requirements, in addition to mathematics and a foreign language, now include: a year of English composition, reading and speak-

ing; a survey course of Western European History; a laboratory course in biology, chemistry, geology or physics; a course in English or foreign literature; a half year each in philosophy or religion and creative arts; and two half years in cultural heritage courses such as Latin, Greek, Cia sica! Civilization, history of art, world literature, ancient history, or history of ph ilosophy.

Trinity is traditionally committed to a curriculum of liberal education in the arts and sciences which attempt moral as well as intellectual development, training for leadership and citizenship, and building a fouc.dation for happy and fruitful personal lives. The four year college course is directed toward an acquaintance with the most important fields of human achievement, developing certain traits and habits, and discovering and preparing broadly for the general fields of endeavor in which each studer.t will earn his living. according to President Funston.

The Faculty in 1944 published the "Report of the Committee on the B.A. Degree", one of the first wartime soul-searchings among American colleges, which preceded the widespread re-definition of college aims during the post-war period, of which the Harvard Report became the best known.

Since 1944, the College has been experimenting with the interior content of its required course in preparation for the general reconsideration of curricular requirements now underway.

Faculty committees have started work on reconsideration of general requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree ar.d on requirements for major studios. The reappraisal of the curriculum is scheduled for completion next spring. The new regulations are not retroactive but apply to ..... the new freshman class.

Butler Requests Job Leads John F . Butler, Director of Placement, reports that he is now in process of interviewing 230 seniors. Thirty-two men will graduate in Februa ry. From present indications, it appears that the competition for jobs for these men is going to be keener this year, Mr. Butler said, and he appeals to alumni to provide information about employment leads.

Brief biographies of the job-seeking seniors are now being compiled. Mr. Butler will send this listing to any alumnus who believes he might be of help to enior thi year.

Engineering in a Liberal Arts College

By Harold J. Lockwood , Professor of Engineering l\Iany still ask the question: "Isn't Engineering new at Trinity?'' A large group of alumni know that Engineering has been taught at Trinity for a great many years. HoweYer, with the construction of the Laboratory, given by Karl Hallden.

'09, of Thomaston, Connecticut, a new impetu was given the Department, and for the past few year , a large number of men have either majored in Engineering or taken the Pre-Engineering Course.

The present enrollment in Engineering requires two full-time and two part-time faculty members.

Mr. John Perrin, retired Standards Engineer for Pratt and Whitney, has charge of Mechanical Drawing. His recent article in "Machine Design" has received world-wide attention . Bruce Onderdonk, '37, a practicing engineer in Hartford, again handle the Surveying course. Mr. Nichola F. Pedersen, former chief engineer for Hanovia Chemical and Manufacturing Company, Newark . J., was appointed to the rank of A sistant Professor a year ago. All members of the department still practice their professions as consultants. The department also has the ervices of a very capable mechanic, Mr. Frank Lopez, who spent many year at Pratt and Whitney as a supervisor.

Trinity does not offer a curriculum leading to a degree in Engineering, but students may elect either the Pre-Engineering Course or the Engineering Major, both leading to the Bachelor of Science degree. The engineering courses and labor~t~ry work empha ize fundamentals. A few spectahzed and advanced courses are also offered.

TI:e Pre-Medical Course at Trinity has always enJoyed an excellent record, and it is hoped that the Pre-Engineering Course may merit a similar reputation.

Several years ago Rens elaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy, New York, and Trinity College entered into an agreement, whereby students who complete the three year Pre-Engineering course at Trinity may then enter R.P.I., and in two years at the most. complete a professional engineering course. At the end of the first year at R.P.I., a Trinity degree is granted if all the Tt路inity requirements f?r the B.S. degree have been met. Upon completion of the course at R .P.I., the student is eligible for the R.P.I. bachelor's degree in the professional field elected. Even after graduating from Trinity a man may till enter R.P.I. and no doubt complete the engineering degree requirement in one year. Many students enter other engineering schools although there is no definite ar-

rangement as in the ca e of R.P.I. It is perfectly possible to do so, but becomes more of an individual problem, and for the past few years the engineering schools have been forced to curtail the number of transfers.

As a vocation, engineering is a profe sion and involves to a greater or les er degree the characteristics of a cience, an art, and a business. It is. therefore, appropriate that engineering training should start in a Liberal Arts College where the stud~nt may take many subjects other than engineenng, and thus overcome the criticism that the Engineer is biased and narrow-minded knows only his slide-rule and owns a couple ~f handbooks. \Ve try to stres the four instrumentalities of En!!ineering :-Method, Materials, Money and Men. Emphasizing Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and the fundamental engineering courses gives the Method or the science of calculating- forces . pressures. capacities of machines, etc. Materials include a knowledge not only of primary materials but of their derivatives. The propertie of these materials must also be known . Money is a fundamental of all enl!ineering work, for the first question is always whether to undertake a project or ~1ot. depen~mg: upon costs.

The engineer must be a~le to handle men intelligently and to get along with them. Because graduate engineer direct larg-e groups of men as well as working- with colleagues and superiors in an organization, encouragement is given to the student engineer's club, which has done a very o-ood iob of ~raining men for cooperation and l~adership dunng the past few years.

Three Alumni Associations Start Funds for Scholarships

Campus Station WRTC Becomes Major Activity

The Trustees have authorized the Hartford, New York and Philadelphia Alumni Associations to provide scholarships for undergraduates, subject to the concurrence of the Faculty's Scholarship Committee. The average amount of the grants this year is 225.00.

Dean Hughes has repeatedly stressed the urgent need of building up the cholarship funds from the $40,000 now available to double this figure in order to provide partial financial aid for a third of the students in college. Hi estimate is based on the percentages and amounts of scholarship given in pre-\\路ar years and the increa e in size of the student body and college costs.

Hartford Alumni are rai ing money for their scholarship fund by alumni contributions, by a benefit "Annual Parade" of Barber Shop Quartets at Bushnell l\1emorial the night of the We leyan game, and through the newly-formed Century Club who e numbers will give 100 annually.

Nelson A. Shepard, '21, has been elected president of the Century Club. Lyman B. Brainerd, '30, is vice-president and Donald J. Viering, '42, is secretary-trea urer. The Trustees are J. Ronald Regnier, '30; Cyril Cole, '29; Robert S. Morris, '16; and Gustave P. Nord trom, '29. Other charter members are James E. Bent, '28; Paul W. Adams, '35; Francis S. Murphy, Hon. '48; Nils A. C. Anderson, '25; John R. Cook, Jr., '10; Clifford L. ~1orse, '31; and Frederick P. Woolley, '16.

In New YorK: Harvey Dann, '31, is heading the alumni committee while in Philadelphia Robert A Gilbert, '38, is in charge.

By Robert W . Bacon, '51 The Radio Voice of Trinity College was fir t transmitted from Jarvis 4 in February of 1947.

Since that time, \VRTC has grown to four studios and offices in Cook Dormitory, a well equipped technician's workshop, and a staff of fifty-six . It is regarded as an influential student organization.

The station broadcasts :Monday through Friday with a variety of programs designed e pecially for college listening. Preparation and production of programs is directed by one of the most efficient collegiate radio taffs in New England. Every detail is managed just as it would be in a large commercial station. All broadcasting conforms to the Rules and Regulations of the Federal Communications Commission.

The staff of Radio Trinity is composed of students majoring in a number of courses. Twentyfive percent are pre-med, fifteen percent are prelaw, while only ten percent are actually planning on entering the radio field. The experience gained from radio training is invaluable to any man. In the past two years several Trinity g raduates have been placed in excellent radio and television positions. It is our belief that the future will see many additional men so placed.

Financially, WRTC is supported by a college subsidy and advertising revenue which never seems quite large enough to meet our needs. There are a number of items which we are not able to purchase, principally classical records. Our classical music programs have always met with great favor and, in order for them to continue, it is necessary for us to increase our library.

Our plans for the coming year cover a broad field. On November 19, we are preparing to broadca t a play-by-play description f the TrinityTufts football game from Medford, Mass. Later this year we intend to commemorate special occasions such as Chri tmas and Ea ter with appropriate dramatizations. Also we are scheduling broadca ts of basketball and baseball games in so far as it is financially possible for us to do so. Of course, we shall continue our service to the College by recording important events and furnishing recorded music for college-sponsored dances.

The further progress and resultant success of \iVRTC depends largely on the interest of both undergraduates an~ graduates. The undergraduates are the managmg force of the organization but, in future years, the graduates should be th~ motivation behind the management. Here is an organ ization of which any Trinity alumnu can be ' justly proud.

poses and universal values so that with a class concept of human dignity as well as social ethics each may do his part in building a better world.

We still continue to receive Vvar Assets equipment at very low cost, and have added a great many items in the last year. Much of this equipment is new and will serve the department for a good many years. Mr. Hallden recently gave the department a new motor-generator set, which is now being installed.

One of the features of the Laboratory is the fact that much of the equipment is mounted on movable benches or tables. An experiment may be set up where there is room to operate and after the experiment is performed the equipment may be returned to storage space. A lthough supplied by power from the city system, we are completely independent electrically because of the four Diesel generating sets now operating. The machine shop is quite complete and in many instances we can help the college maintenance crews by making repairs and new parts.

College Balances Books for 1948-49 Treasurer Joseph V/. Getzendanner, Jr., reports that the College has balanced its books with $861 surplus of income over expenses for the fiscal year 1948-49. "The Alumni Fund of $18,000 as of June 30 was of ine timable value in producing this result," Mr. Getzenndanner said. "Total income shrank by $34,000 from last year to $1,094,954 because of decreased enrollment in extension and summer schools and the total expense had to be reduced proportionately to keep the budget in balance."

Total as ets of the College passed the ten million dollar mark during the year as nearly a million dollars in new capital improvements and endowment from the 125th Anniversary Development Fund was added to the books. Memorial Field House, with equipment, was capitalized at $454,000 and E lton Hall, with equipment, was valued at $379,000.

The rate of return on consolidated endowment funds was 5.15 % this year as against 5.02 % last year. The invested income of $230,274 was about one quarter of the total income of the College.

Total endowment funds increased by $203,000 during the year, of which $ 129,000 was received by gift or bequest other than through the Development Program and $74,000 was transferred from the Development Program. Gifts and bequests received during the year other than the Development and Alumni Fund amounted to $153,624.

Accounting for the Athletic Association was incorporated into the College accounting system at the beginning of the year, and last November 1, the operation of the Hamlin Dining Hall was turned over to an outside food management concern which has performed very satisfactorily to date, making it possible for the College to break even on the dining hall operation for the first time in three years and to reduce charges to students by seven and one half percent.

The College has $375,000 on hand for construction of new library facilities, use of which is awaiting court decision on transferring of the Watkinson Library to the campus.

The major repair and improvement projects finished during the year are: completion of a 190 car parking area behind Hallden Laboratory and the conversion of the former parking lot behind Hamlin Dining Hall into grass campus with walks to E lton and Boardman Halls; the renovation of 90-92 Vernon Street apartment house; resurfacing of four clay tennis courts and the erection of an electric football scoreboard; alteration of Alumni Hall to provide space for the Jesters to perform plays on campus; the retreading of worn-out tairways in Jarvis and Seabury Halls, the hanging of new fire-doors and the major replastering in the basement of Northam Towers and Jarvis Hall, and the adoption of a seven-year plan to replace old dormitory furniture.

Admissions Secretary on Midwestern Trip Albert E. Holland, secretary of admissions, will be making an extended trip to the Middle West starting in November. He will visit schools and interview applicants for admission. In addition , he hopes to meet with Trinity Alumni in each city with special meetings planned for those cities where there is no alumr.i association at present: Minneapoli s, Milwaukee and St. Louis. His trip schedule is as fo llows: Nov. 14-17, Chicago, Drake Hotel; 17, Rockford, Ill.; 18 Milwaukee, cj o George Rountree, 824 E . State Street, Milwaukee; 19-20.

Alumni who know of outstanding car:didates for admission are urged to have them get in touch with Bert. This year there are twenty boys from the Middle West in the Freshman Class and fortynine others in the three upper classe . Mo t of these boys came to Trinity because alumni talked to them about the College.

The following schools will be visited: Chicago area-Oak Park High School, LeGrange High School, Francis Parker School.

forced him to quit his position and return to his home in Charlottesville, Virginia, to recuperate.

Mr. Gibson tried several jobs-farming, selling, teaching-before becoming a sistant personnel manager of the Canada Dry Ginger Ale Company.

And then with a promising business career looming ahead of him, Mr. Gibson cleciclecl to enter the ministry and enrolled as a student at the Alexandria Seminary.

"I had received a strong conviction that my place was in the Church and that only through it could I live and serve unselfishly," he said.

After graduation in 1942 he hoped for a parish, but the Bishop a keel him to tay on at the seminary as assistar.t professor of church history. Four years later the National Council of the Episcopal Church called him to be liaison officer in Mexico and to reorganize the seminary there. Because of difficulties with the government authorities of Mexico, who did not welcome foreign Protestant clergy, the Reverend !lr. Gib on never actually took this post.

In 1947 he was called by the University of the South at Sewanee, Ter:nessee, to become Dean of the Theological School and Professor of History.

Jesters Stage First Campus Play In Arena Style Production The Jesters played on campus for the first time since the early 1930's on October 28 when they opened a four night stand of FYench Without Tears in Alumni Hall. This was the first play of their 1949-50 season, to be followed in March by A Bell for Adana and in May by Twelfth Night.

The plays have been brought back to the campus so that they will be more easily available to the student body. The lower gym of Alumni Hall has been provided with exits, fire doors, and exit lighting to make it again safe fo~audiences. The seating capacity i limited to 120. • As the lower gym is still a "gym", the plays have been presented without benefit of the facilities of the conventional theater. The Jesters have utilized what is known as "arena stagir:g." The action of the plays takes place on the floor level of the audience in an area enclosed by a horseshoe of three rows of seats.

The Jesters have no desire to confine themselves forever to this type of presentation, but the method has offered one important advantage. No one in the audiet.ce can be more than thirty feet from any actor. As a result the audience has found that they are "taken into the play" more completely than under the customary conditions. The experience is an interesting one for both the audience and the actors.

The Reverend Robert Fisher Gibson, Jr., '28, Dean of the Theological eminary of the University of the South, was consecrated. Suffragan Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia at Immanuel Chapel at the Virginia Theological Seminary, Alexandria, on September 8.

Bishop Gibson's father and the Reverend James A. Mitchell, '15, were Attending Presbyters and more than 120 Bishops, Ministers, and Laymen marched in the procession to the historic chapel.

Those in College with Bob Gibson will remember his many undergraduate activities: football, track, Jesters, Ivy, Tripod, Political Science Club and Junior Prom Committee. In his sophomore and junior years he was chosen class secretary, and the Jester elected him President. He was also a member of the Freshman Rules Committee, the Sophomore Dining Club and the Varsity Club.

After graduating in 1928 he sailed for the Philippines as a missionary teacher at the Brent School where he taught mathematics and history.

Resigning his position the following year Mr. Gibson tackled various jobs in the East Indies before becoming publicity manager for General Motors in Java. An attack of amoebic dysentery

The goal for the coming year will be $30,000.

The Campaign Committee is counting on a large number of contributing alumni in order to reach this objective by June 30. The importance of the Alumni Fund to the College cannot be minimized.

As President Funston pointed out in his June report to the alumni, in order for Trinity to meet its annual operating expenses, it must have the support of many alumni.

The 1949 Fund raised $19,689.92 with 848 alumni participating. In addition, 943 alumni were still paying on pledges to the 125th Anniversary Development Program.

The annual Class Agents' Dinner, attended by approximately 50 Class Agents and Alumni Fund committee members, was held at Hamlin Dining Hall on November 11, the night before the Wesleyan game. Shed McCook presided, and the meeting started off with a fine performance by the Trinity Pipes. Talks by John Reitemeyer, President of the Alumni Association, and President Funston on the great need of alumni support for Trinity followed.

'Crows' Win Scholarship Cup Alpha Chi Rho narrowly defeated the defenders, Delta Phi, to win possession of the Fraternity Scholarship Cu]J for one year.

The all College average was 75.9 and the all Fraternity average 74.0.

The Alumni Fund Trophy was presented by Chuck Kingston, '34, whose class last June gave the large trophy cup to be awarded annually to the outstanding class agent of the year. Chuck presented the trophy to this year's winner, Bob Mot-ri '16. This class made an out tanding record of 98 percentage participation in the 1948-49 Alumni Fund.

Sophomores Spark Fall Sports Teams Dan Jessee welcomed Captain Roger Hall's forty-five man squad last September with the observation, "We may be a little short on experience, but, with the speed and the fight I know the boys have, we should have a good season. I like the squad this year very much. They have hustle and their spirit is really wonderful, and that, as you know, is very important." The coach's predictions were certainly accurate.

Dan was particularly pleased with the twentyseven sophomore members from last year's unbeaten freshmen team. Their speed and power were felt as many of them earned regular positions. Besides Captain Hall, burly 195 pound fullback, the only 1948 lettermen who held starting berths on the 1949 team were Eddie Ludorf, quarter-back, and passer; Jack Corcoran, speedy halfback; Whitey Oberg, center; Jim McDonnell, guard, and Bill Pitkin, end.

The backfield is one of the best in several years with sophomore flashes Bill Goralski, Sam Nakaso, Bernie Lawlor, Tom DePatie, Art French, Bill Gannon, Tom Head, Bill Vibert, AI Magnoli and transfer Bat Castellani, all working well in combination with lettermen Hall, Corcoran, Ludorf, Bob Barrows and Jim Pickett.

The line is light but full of scrap. At center veteran Whitey Oberg and sophomore John Wentworth are both playing well. Dan has two experienced guards in Jim McDonnell and Bill Trousdale, while sophomores Don Rathbone and Dick Ahern are able replacements.

The graduation of last year's co-captains Joe Ponsalle and Mitch Holmgren left two big holes at tackle. Dan moved Dick DePaolis from guard and with letterman Frank Sherman and sophomores Ed Kulas and Hoot Nicholson, the position has been well handled, as all these boys weigh around 190, and have plenty of ability.

Lanky Bill Pitkin, sophomores Dick Aiken and Larry Hutnick, and junior, Dick Garrison have done a most creditable job at the ends.

In the opening game against Williams before a crowd of 4,000 the Hilltoppers really rolled in the second half as they swept the Ephmen for the fourth successive year. At half time we led 14-13 as our line had trouble solving the Williams plays.

Bill Goralski ripped off a beautiful 41 yard touchdown sprint and Captain Hall bucked over the other score. Ferri of the visitors made two brilliant touchdown dashes and only Bill Vibert's educated toe gave the Blue and Gold its one point lead.

After the intermission Al Magnoli took charge with two touchdowns, and in the last period Dick Ahern blocked a Williams punt which Dick Gat-rison scooped up for a 39-yard scoring sprint.

The team routed Norwich 71-0 with Bob Bar-

rows scoring four touchdowns and Captain Hall two. The following week Hobart was swamped 42-0 as the Blue and Gold quickly racked up five touchdowns in the first half. Jim Pickett, 155 pound scatback, scored twice with two brilliant runs-one a 58 yard dash around end. Tom DePatie, who also tips the beam at 155 pounds, raced 45 yards for another score.

SOCCER The squad has balance this fall with eleven lettermen from last year's team and ten numeral winners from the 1948 Freshmen team. Captain Bob Wood, Jay Geiger, 1948 Captain, and the Nelson brothers, Cort and Nick should be four of the outstanding hooters of New England. The Nelsons received honorable mention on the 1948 All-American team and along with Geiger were named to the All New England squad last season.

Coach Harold Shetter has stressed the offense with team work on the theory that the Blue and Gold can outscore the more conservative type of play his team will come up against. Besides Captain Wood, Geiger and the Nelsons, he has counted on lettermen Hank Goodyear, Jim Brainerd, Ralph Marshall and Bill Howell, along with sophomores Dick Hunter, Ted Lauterwasser and Dave Hatfield to make up the starting eleven. Don Wolford, Newt Leo and Cliff Stark have also seen plenty of action.

In its first two games the team easily took the measure of Worcester Tech 6-0 and then nosed out M.I.T. 3-2 in the final minutes when Newt Leo, just off the injury list, headed in the winning goal. Tufts was defeated 2-0, and Jim Brainerd, 'SO, booted in the only goal as the Blues and Gold won over Yale for the first time.

Coast Guard, Colby Replace Worcester Tech and Norwich

FRESHMEN FOOTBALL Coach Fred Booth does not have the overall depth in this year's freshmen squad that he had last fall. His first team has given a good account of themselves and the reserves should improve as the season progresses. The line is lighter than last year's undefeated seven while several of the backs have shown standout possibilities. "Ike" Woolley '16, Major Folan of Air ROTC, and Whitey Kunkiewicz, ineligible for varsity ball, have been helping Coach Booth prepare for Springfield, Amherst, Cheshire and Wesleyan.

The leading players are : center, Bill Wills and Noble Richards; guards, John Barnes, Bruce Smith, Knud Woodford, and Steve Plum; tackles, Bern Bogoslofski, Don Petit, Morgan Taylor and Fritz Heller; ends, Bill Lauffer, John Adams, Ed Garretson and George Whitaker; backs, Dave Seeber, Roger St. Pierre, Umberto Del Maestro, Dick Nissi, Gene Binda, Red Miller, Wally Novak and Wink Wynkoop.

In the opening game the Springfield freshmen scored on a 10 yard pass play in second quarter to win a 6-0 decision.

Ray Oosting, Director of Athletics, has announced that Coast Guard and Colby will replace Norwich and Worcester Tech on the football schedule next fall. Williams has dropped us from their schedule in order to return Princeton to its slate, so Trinity will play a seven game schedule with Wesleyan, Amherst, Middlebury, Hobart and Tufts being the other rivals. Coast Guard, Hobart, Tufts and Amherst will be home games. In 1951 Dickinson College, one of the stronger small college elevens in Pennsylvania, will be added plus the seven other teams.

Since the war Trinity has outclassed Norwich in four games, and has defeated Worcester twice.

Incidentally, the Worcester series was started in 1888, and shows 30 wins for Trinity and 13 for Worcester.

and Balkan minonttes, va rying from one community to the next, and of ten between individuals. It can hardly be said that he is a matur"! blend of these elements. They pull him every which way, and his only recourse is to insist that he be taken as an individual.

On top of this has been "superimposed", as so.me think. the culture of Ancient Athens. Thus the educatiOnal system and the strong pride of patriotism (which does not signify unity, however) insist that every Greek bo.y and girl go ing to secondary schocl shall . be steeped 111 the arts language and philosophy of Class1c Greece. In addition' a formal modern language is tauJht in these schools.

Con'sequently, the secondary school pupil has . studied three languages of hi s native land: cla ss ~ cal, punst, an.d demoti c Greek. No wonder he shrugs h1s shoulders; 1t is surprisin g he does not stutter!

Actually the Greek mind is quick, although someti~es ove rly fa cile, judged by Western standa rd s ... ot hav1~1g experienced th e cultural f orces of western rehgwns, soc1al thought. and economi c de':elopment until fairly rece.nt times the Greek tends to JUdge the end product on 1ts prese;1t merits, while bewildered at the cerebral machinati ons wh ich produced it.

The Western World has accepted many of its blessin gs and curses in the course of time, with few backward glances. The "p rog ressiv~" orrranization of the individual the business, the soc1al group, the commumty. the state and even beyond, still goes forward. The Greek ( not to mention others) has not experienced the background of much of this development, and thu s unde~­ stands little of the methods involved. Consequently, senous problems questioning the very concepts of "Democracy" are ::t t issne.

Modern Greece

By Lawrence Newhall, '39 EDITOR 's NoTE. Lawrence J. Newhall, '39, recently retu.rned from Atlt.cns w he re he taught at tile Amc1·ican Uuiversity.

Greece is a country of seven million-odd people with the political and economic strength strongly central_ized in Athens and Piraeus, which today have a combmed population of approximately one and one half millions.

War time destruction, material and moral, was severe, and the Government, with American assistance, ha not yet been able to repair former inadequate facilities of communication and comm ~ rce, let alone to expan d th em.

There seem to be two main reasons for this, supported by innumerable factors rooted in ancient and modern histor y, education (or the lack of it), poverty of natural resources, geographical position, and climate. . . .

T he first principal fa cto r is the pre ent guenlla activity. This varies in strength and meth od from day to day, and place to place. At one time it is a small raiding party of a handful of bandits, with the tactics and stealth of th e American Indian tribes o f former days. At another time it may be a b and of one or two hundred men, employin; the same or more advance methods. A~ other times it is a larger force, variously and more ltberally equ ipped, which sacks good sized towns, and stands against considerable units of the Nat ional Army.

These groups draw arm , supplies, recruits and expert advice and orders from north of the Iron Curtain. They destroy villages and crops, and carry off women and children to serve th em and become indoct rinated. Then they fear to return to the fields and vill ages of a shifting "_Jo Man's Land," because of repri sals by both sides.

The apparent strategy is to drive eve ryone into one camp or the other, and then to harass the government troops and supporters into eco nomi c and moral collapse.

Thus the peasant retreats to the village, from thence with the villager to the town, f rom there to the city.

Crops animals, personal belonginJs and often family memb~rs are scattered to the winds, and northern cities like Salonika are faced with thousands of refugees and the disrupting problems of un employme nt, housing, san itation, food, and a demorali zed citizenry. This on top of presently inadequate normal facilities and war des tructi on.

The second principal factor is the Greek. H e is an individual, and from the poo rest peasant to the wealthiest Athenian, he will never let you forget it. Raciall y and culturally he is a tremendous mixture of East and vVest
