Bulletin
President's Page To Trinity Alumni: By this time we are well into the one hundred twenty-ninth academic year of the College. In a few more days, half of the 1951 football season will have gone by, the Sophomore Hop will have been held or thrown ( annually, the proper verb becomes apparent only in retrospect ), and even the hardiest of our undergraduates will have formed the conclusion that the climate of Hartford in late October calls for clothing a little more substantial than summer sports jackets. Text books have all been purchased, R.O.T.C. uniforms have come or are arriving, no more changing of courses is permitted and classes have thus settled down to something like a normal routine, and Dean Clarke's very commendable social program for the Freshmen has shown the Class of 1955 the road to N'ohhampton. The fraternities have chosen their pledges, and both groups are justifiably happy about the results. For reasons that evade my comprehension, students still ride in automobiles from the houses on Vernon Street to the Chapel and to classes. In short, the old order has not changed so very much since the days of many of you. There is, however, one distinctive aspect of the fall of 1951 which all of you, if you come here, would perceive and, I am sure, regret. We do not have enough dormitory space. There are 922 undergraduates registered at the College this year, 614 of whom are in residence on the campus. Perhaps it is true that we have not yet reached but are only approaching the point where the overcrowding becomes a serious, not to say, critical problem. Certainly we are getting closer to that point from year to year at far too rapid a rate. Consider, for instance, that to maintain the optimum size of our student body we shall have tO enroll 250 freshmen next year in the Class of 1956 and that only 121 beds will be released when the present Seniors are graduated. You will agree with me, I think, that the acquiring of more dormitory space is a paramount need at Trinity. Then, too, the perennial needs of a college, dollars and boys, exist in the middle of the century just as they did at its beginning and as they will exist at its end. Faculty salaries, despite increases during the summer which in themselves oblige us to call on you for your help in the Alumni Fund, are by no means what one might call handsome. Rising costs and a fixed income tell an old srory and one that does not have a humorous side for those of us who wish to preserve the values of privately controlled education. At the same time, I see much from day to day at Trinity that pleases me and of which we can all be proud. We have a fine, alert Faculty and a well-planned curriculum. The student body will compare favorably with any that you remember from your time on the Hillrop. Ted Thomas and the College Senate under his presidency, to single out one group, are providing stuqent leadership of a high caliber. We all like what we have seen of the new Freshman class which is rapidly being assimilated and which, I have no doubt, will give a good account of itself as the years go by. Finally, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the good wishes that so many of you have sent to me for my stint as Acting President. You know, history shows that an interrex has at least a fifty-fifty chance of doing a good job. I promise you that I shall do everything in my power to advance the welfare of Trinity College. In return, I bespeak your continued support and cooperation for whatever interregnum ensues until President Funston's successor has been chosen. ARTHUR H . HUGHES

NUMBER 8 ( November, 1951 )
Hughes Is Named Acting President; Brainard, Chairman of Board; Moses, Treasurer For the second time Dean Arthur H. Hughes has accepted the office of Acting President and will serve until President Funston's successor has been chosen. The trustee committee to select a new president consisting of A. Northey Jones, '17 , chairman; Newton C. Brainard, H. '46; lyman B. Brainerd, '30; Martin W. Clement, '01; Harold l. Smith, '23; James B. Webber, Jr., '34 and Dr. Jerome P. Webster, '10, have held three meetings and although progress has been made it appears that it will be some time before the committee will be in a position to recommend a successor. At the Trustees' October meeting, the Board elected Newton C. Brainard chairman and G. Keith Funston, '32, a life trustee. A. Henry Moses, '28, was named Treasurer and J. Kenneth Robertson was appointed Comptroller. Dean Hughes joined the faculty in 1935 as an instructor in German. He was promoted to Assistant Professor in 1938 and became Dean in 1941. When the late President Remsen B. Ogilby died in August 1943, Dean Hughes held the office of Acting President until President Funston was released from the Navy in the fall of 1945. Dean Hughes was also promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of German in 1944 and the following year to Professor of Modern languages. He has done extensive research and writing on nineteenth century German literature. A member of the committee on institutions of higher education of the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, he is also chairman of the committee on accreditation of the Connecticut Council on Higher Education. Mr. Brainard is the senior member of the Board of Trustees having been elected thirty years ago. A trusted friend and counselor to both President Ogilby and President Funston, he has always been a tower of strength and has never failed to give unstintingly of his advice and

time. He is a member of the Executive Committee, the Grounds and Buildings Committee, the Memorials Committee and the Joint Committee on Educational Policy. President Funston served as an ex-officio member of the Board of Trustees while at College the past six years. He left the Hilltop on September 7 to assume the presidency of the New York Stock Exchange and is living at Vineyard lane, Greenwich, Conn. His election to the Board fills the vacancy created by the death of the late William G. Mather, '77. Mr. Moses, vice president and cashier of the .lEma life Affiliated Companies, undertook the treasureship on a voluntary basis in his capacity as a trustee following the resignation of Joseph W. Getzendanner, Jr., to become assistant comptroller of the National City Bank of Cleveland. The actual operation of the college's business affairs will be under the direction of Comptroller J. Kenneth Robertson. A graduate of Yale, he received his Master of Business Administration degree from Harvard Business School in 1932. Since 1943 he has been business manager of Taft School.

Chapel Is Play Scene Next spring the Jesters plan to produce "Murder in the Cathedral" by T. S. Eliot in the College Chapel, and "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde for the weekend of the Senior Prom. An amplifying system for music and sound effects is being built and it is hoped that a portable switchboard can be constructed to facilitate the lighting of the shows in Alumni Hall. The Jesters will also welcome any contributions of modern or old costumes, materials, drapes, properties or furni~ 路to augment their small collection. There is almost nothing which cannot, at one time or another, be used in a play! Please contact James S. Stanley, '52, President, or Mr. George Nichols, Faculty Advisor.
Debaters Active The Atheneum Society, under the direction of John Wynne, '52, President, and Mr. John D ando, Faculty Advisor, plans another active season with many intra-dub debates for Freshmen and new members and outside competition against Georgetown, Bucknell, and Rutgers.
The Function of the Alumni Office by William R. Peelle, '44 Alumni are assuming such an ever greater importance in American colleges that you will want to know how the alumni office at Trinity is operated. Undoubtedly the most important single phase of the work is rhe keeping of accurate records. Certainly the most troublesome aspect of this work is keeping addresses up to dare. Without accurate addresses of all its alumni, an alumni office might as well nor exist. Knowing who the alumni are does little good if one cannot communicate with them. The alumni body at Trinity runs just under five thousand now, and our records over the past few years indicate that somewhere between twelve and fifteen hundred change address each year. It seems impossible, and yet it is true. We have set up special methods of tracing alumni when we learn that they have left one address, but we have not been informed of the new one. This tracing system has proven so effective that on any general mailing to alumni we show only a one to three percent error. This requires constant attention, however, and takes considerable time. Each alumnus has a folder filed by class, and into this folder goes any information which the college receives about the individual. Autobiographical data is requested of each alumnus at regular intervals, so that we may keep our records up to dare. A second phase of the alumni office work has been the organization of various alumni groups and liaison with other groups. The alumni in 1948 adopted a constitution for the Alumni Association of the college, which provided for a strong Executive Committee of alumni to oversee the program of the Alumni Association from year to year. This office has worked closely with that group in organizing the Alumni Fund. Mr. John Butler who also helped in this program is now the Executive Secretary of the Fund. The alumni office has been re-
sponsible for carrying our the plans for June reunions under the guidance of an alumni committee. This has been in line with the policy of the Executive Committee. They have brought alumni into the planning stage of many of their programs, and rhe alumni secretary has acted as a secretary to the various committees rather than a director. The advice and counsel of alumni is always sought for it is only by having the alumni active and interested in the operation of the college that this work can be effective. Other results of this have been the strengthening of local associations, new local associations, establishment of alumni interviewing programs in various areas, and the holding of Sub-Freshman dinners in larger cities. Probably the individual alumnus is most interested in knowing what goes on at the college. This phase of rhe work is done by all of the members of the faculty and administration at the college and certainly cannot be claimed solely by the alumni office. However, the alumni office does try to coordinate these efforts so that the flow of mail particularly will be distributed evenly during the year. In addition to the Alumni News, President's report, and other regular publications which are sent to all alumni, we try to write alumni on matters of personal note to them, William R . Peelle, '44, has been appointed Alumni Secretary succeeding Albert E. Holland, '3 4. He will also continue his work as Assistant Secretary of Admissions. Bill left College in 1942 to join the Coast Guard for a three year stint in the South Pacific. He survived the sinking of hi s ship in a ryphoon off Okinawa in October, 194 5, and was discharged with the rank of lieutenant, j.g. Returning to Triniry in February, 1946, he completed his degree requirements a year later, and has been on the college staff since then .

so that they will realize that the college takes a very real interest in them. It has often been said that a college is interested in irs alumni only when it wants them to give money. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Certainly, that is a consideration, because a college is not a business and cannot make profits and build up surpluses-but a college is judged by the men the faculty moulds-irs alumni, their contributions to all of humanity, to business and professional life and to their community. No college could long survive if the alumni were nor successful after they left the college, and if they did not retain rheir interest in the college. It would be ideal if the college could keep up wirh the progress of each and every alumnus, but with the number nearly five thousand today, it is virtually an impossible task. One factor which should aid materially in this endeavor is the recent formation of the Class Secretaries Association. This group can perform a real service in keeping the college informed about the career of each alumnus, and of organizing each class so that the members are in closer touch with one another. There is one field which we at Trinity have not adequately covered as yet, though some progress has been made along these lines since the war. That is the preparation of the under raduate for his role as an alumnus. If all bur the most recent graduates will think back ro their years as undergraduates, I am sure they will recall that little or nothing was done to tell them of how they could retain their active interest in the college after graduation. Many alumni of course retained a natural interest and were most willing to help, bur were not aware of local associations and of the various ways in which they could express this interest. We are trying now starting with freshmen week to tell rhe students something about this work. In the spring of Contimted on next page

Admissions-Alumni Trips Planned
College Receives Two Scholarships; Bequest
Bert Holland and Bill Peelle are again making visits this fall and winter to midwestern, Eastern seaboard and New England Schools in order to interview prospective applicants for the Class of 1956. Bert left Hartford on November 4 for seven weeks and will stop in twenty-two cities to call at seventyeight schools and to speak at ten Alumni meetings. The week of January 14 Bert will be calling at schools in the New York City area and starting February 4 he will be in central New Jersey for ten days. H is assistant, Bill Peelle, will visit thirty-five New England schools this fall, and after the first of the year visit Washington and Philadelphia. Bert plans to spend a week in Chicago commencing November 16 and will have many interviews with Illinois Scholarship applicants
as well as meeting with the Chicago Alumni Association on Monday, November 19. Prior to this visit he will have been in Rochester, Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo and Detroit calling at schools and speaking at Alumni Meetings. After leaving Chicago on November 25, Bert will address Alumni Meetings in Milwaukee on the 26th ; Minneapolis on the 28th and in St. Louis on the 30th. In December be will stop in Springfield, Mattoon, Decatur, Champaign, Bloomington, Peoria, Galesburg, Rock Island, Rockford, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh with an Alumni Meeting in the latter city on December 18. In January, Bert will be making calls in the New York City area from the 14th to the 22 nd, and from February 4th to the 13th he will be traveling in Northern New Jersey.
the senior year the President gives a dinner for all seniors, at which time the president of the Alumni Association and the Chairman of rhe Alumni Fund talk to the seniors. This helps, bur a program which follows the student through each of his four years must be developed. Another aid has been the sub fresh man lunches and dinners given by the local Associations. Here the freshman meets alumni and learns before he ever gets to college that there is an association in his home town. Another program along these lines would be an alumni dinner during Christmas vacation ro whid1 all of the undergraduates and their fathers were invited. The importance of this undergraduate program cannot be over-emphasized. I believe it is one of the most powerful means we have of telling these men about the role of the alumnus. Are we overlooking anything? Perhaps you can help us. We are always open ro suggestions. It is only with your combined efforts and help that we will make the status of the alumnus a pleasant, informed, and helpful one.
Eleven Appointed Faculty Members
Two scholarships given by Mrs. Karl W. Hallden of Thomaston, Conn., and Mr. Ralph Kolodney of Hartford and a bequest by the !are William Tyler Olcott, '96, have recently been received by the College. Mrs. Hallden's scholarship is for graduates of Thomaston High School while Mr. Kolodney's will be awarded to an outstanding man from the Hartford area. The first recipient is Ronald E. McGowan of West Hartford, a graduate of William Hall High School. By the terms of Mr. Olcott's will his bequest will be used ro establish the William Tyler Olcott Endowment Fund, the income from which is to be used to promote interest in the observational branch of astronomical work in the College.

Hughes Commends Students 1n Annual Report "I commend most sincerely our student body of 1950-51 for a courageous performance under fire," states Dean Arthur H. Hughes in his annual report for the past academic year. "Who could have blamed the average college student if he had succumbed tO the temptation tO end his studies in a splurge of gaiety and girls? Why not eat, drink, and be merry? No matter what college deans and faculty advisers might say, his fate in the immediate future was apparently tO be determined by the fortunes of our arms up and down the Korean peninsula. Very little in the way of encouragement was tO be found in the daily from-page reports by and about Selective Service. Quo V adis was the question in a young man's mind, and the answer was likely to be an outlandish and oriental place-name." "In the face of such incertitude, our students acquitted themselves very well indeed. There was no hysteria here, no extreme pessimism. The academic record was much better chan usual and there was considerable evidence of seriousness of purpose to be noted in the campus life of our undergraduates. The uncertainties of last year continue to exist and tO beset the young man who seeks to begin and complete a college education, but I shall feel reassured and optimistic about the future careers of our incoming students if they react as bravely and sanely as did the undergraduates for the year just ended. "After having soared in 1949-50 to the highest point ( 77.4) ever recorded at the College, the average grade of the student body was inevitably and understandably destined to decline toward its normal level even if international affairs had not had an adverse effect on the morale of our undergraduates. I am pleased and in retrospect somewhat surprised to be able to report that the decline was but a small one (76.6) and that the academic performance of Trinity students was one of the best on record for the post-war years. "It is particularly gratifying to
note that the average grade of fraternity men was higher than the figure for the College as a whole. That had never happened before the academic year 1949-50 and now it has happened for two years running. It can hardly be an unrelated and fortuitous coincidence that our plan for deferred rushing was instituted by the Interfraternity Council just two years ago. Tau Alpha, for the second successive year, was the winner of the Fraternity Scholarship Cup with an 80.8 average while the other houses were ranked as follows : Commons Club; Alpha Chi Rho; Sigma Nu; Delta Phi; Theta Xi; Psi Upsilon ; Alpha Delta Phi; Delta Psi ; and Delta Kappa Epsilon. "There were 107 men who obtained Dean's List average of 85 % or better in February and 111 in June. The corresponding figures in 1949-50 were 126 and 133. During the academic year we lost 74 students, whereas the number had been only 39 in 1949-50. Twentythree men were required to withdraw as compared to 17 a year ago while 72 were placed on probation as compared to 55 in 1949-50. "Economics• retained for the fifth successive year its position as our most popular major subject and fluctuations were otherwise minor
6
for the most part and without significance. Three years ago, however, there were twice as many Engineering majors as we had last year, and the sizeable drop has been due largely tO the deliberate policy adopted by Engineering educational associations for the purpose of discouraging large enrollments in that area. It is tO be hoped that the serious problems growing out of the nation's rearmament program will serve tO focus attention once more on the importance of preprofessional training in Engineering. "We can take pride that the average number of students in the 246 sections of the 143 courses offered in the Christmas Term was 17.3. This is the lowest point yet achieved by us in post-war years. Undoubtedly, we were in a position tO give a considerable amount of individualized instruction and personal attention to our students. "During the year the Curriculum Committee and the Faculty approved the adding of three new half-courses (Problems of American Security; Gems and Gem Minerals; and Psychology of Personality) tO the course of study. Two half-courses (Statistical Methods and Procedures in Research; and Numerical Mathematical Analysis) were similarly added to the Evening School program. The History major requirements were revised and a few small changes were made in the degree requirements. Considerable thought was devoted to the College curriculum by our entire faculty, however, since each department was requested to audit its course offerings on a form prepared and circulated by the Curriculum Committee. The result has been a most useful and enlightening compendium of well-weighed and integrated information regarding the function within a department of each of our College courses and also the particular value of each course in a liberal arts curriculum. We have also received and recorded the departmental recommendations that constitute a unified plan for the curtailment of course offerings
if some future national emergency should force us to have recourse to such drastic measures. "The rapid growth percentagewise in the size of our resident student body poses a serious problem that calls for immediate attention. Despite the substantial increase in the dormitory facilities of the College during recent years it is patent that still further accommodations will have to be provided in the near future and very probably we shall be confronted by an e:nergency when we enroll the freshman Class that will enter Trinity in September, 1952. I am convinced that it is in the best interests of the College to retain our present proportions of resident stuC.:tnts, bur we must have more dormirory space in order to do so. Very few, if any, of the current requirements of the College transcend in importance our need for a new dormitory. This past year 443 boys lived in the dormitories and 90 in the fraternity houses. "By adding a substantial appropriation to the endowed funds already available, the College provided $59,696 in scholarship awards last year as compared with $37,519 in 1949-50. However, there were 245 applicants for College scholarships, an increase of 50 over the number in the preceding year. We were able to make grants to 158 students, which is to say that we could help 65 % of the men who filed applications. The comparable figure in 1949-50 was 60 % . The continuing need for sizeable appropriations over and above our income from endowed funds is apparent when one realizes that an increase of 50 % in the amount that we awarded in scholarship aid enabled us to raise by only 5% the proportion of applicants receiving grants. Through the efforts of alumni chapters in Hartford, New York, Philadelphia and Waterbury an additional sum of $4,525 was made available in the form of grants in aid." In conclusion, Dean Hughes points out that there was an urgent and impelling incentive for the students to put forth their best efforts last year, for one's standing
Endow ed Income and Gift Increases Balance Budget Despite Fee Drop In his final report as Treasurer, Joseph W. Getzendanner, Jr., states that the College has closed its books with an excess of income over expense of $4,259 for the fiscal year of 1950-51 ending June 30. Mr. Getzendanner is resigning as treasurer and comptroller to become assistant comptroller of the National City Bank of Cleveland. He came to Trinity in January, 1946, as comptroller succeeding Roger R. Eastman, '24, and in April 1947 he was elected treasurer when the late Owen Morgan, '06, resigned the position. Mr. Getzendanner reports that tuition and fee income declined by $48,000 due to smaller enrollments, but this was offset by a $43,000 increase in investment income and an $11,000 increase in gift income, including the Alumni Fund. Total income was $1,235,735 which is an increase of $8,500 over last year. Rising costs brought the total expenses and appropriations to $1,231,476 or an increase of $8,700 over the preceding year. Instruction and scholarships were the two items of expense showing a marked increase over 1949-50. Increased salaries, annuity and social security taxes, and a provision for sabbatical leave resulted in an increase of $39,000 in Instruction to make it 48.6 % of total Educational and General Expense. Scholarships increased from $38,路 500 tO $61,000.
in the draft was to be determined at least in part by one's standing in college. At the same time, that influence was counterbalanced for many young men by the sapping of morale that was a result of the international situation and an abnormal uncertainty with regard to the immediate future. Under the circumstances, the academic record of 1950-51 represents a commendable achievement and calls for congratulations to our student body.

On January 1, 1951, the College began participation in the Federal Social Security Program. This was added to the exisring faculty and non-academic retirement plans and will be of considerable help in providing more adequate retirement allowances. The total cost of the combined pension and group insurance plans now amounts to $40,000 per year. Construction for the new library began last November and it is scheduled for completion next February at a total cost estimated at $1,210,000. The funds for the building have been provided from the Old Dominion Foundation Gift of $817,000; the George N. Hamlin bequest of $345,000; and other gifts and interest of $48,000. The addition of the new library raised the question of the safe operation of the central heating plant. A survey showed it was essential to add a third boiler and auxiliary equipment to the heating plant building. This project was completed in October at the approximate cost of $160,000 and is being financed by a $58,000 charge to the reserves for rehabilitation, annuity payments, veterans' tuition pending audit, and group life insurance which are no longer needed for their original purpose, a $27,000 allocation to the new library building, a $40,000 capital improvement charge to this year's operations, and -,;he balance to be paid by an additional bank loan. Endowment funds increased by $344,000 during the year, including $189,000 in gifts and bequests, $149,000 in profits on the sale of securities, and $4,000 transferred from the 125th Anniversary Development Program. The rate of return on consolidated investments was 5.28 % on book and 4.42 % on market value. Bank loans stood at $114,000 at the end of the year as against $13 7,000 last year, and government bond collateral of $13 5,000 is posted against these loans.
Dan Jessee Produces Another Speedy Eleven Paced by fleet-footed Al Magnoli and powerful Hum DelMastro, Captain Bill Goralski's forty-five man squad rolled towards another successful season with vicrories over Dickinson, Hobart, Colby and Middlebury. The speedy Hilltoppets were outplayed in the second game, however, when the undefeated Cadets of New London's Coast Guard Academy turned back the Blue and Gold with a wellearned 27-19 vicrory. The Cadets' hard charging team scored two touchdowns in the second quarter and held off the aroused Bantams in the final period. This year's team is one of the speediest ever to wear the Blue and Gold. Despite a wave of injuries to Captain Goralski, Tom DePatie, Art French, John Wentworth, Bill Lauffer and Harold Wynkoop the attack has never failed to lose any of its dazzle and explosiveness, particularly in the early moments of the Colby and Middlebury games. Determined to rack up the first win over the Colby Mules, Magnoli and DelMastro each scored a touchdown in the first two minutes, and against Middlebury's Panthers the same players and Castellani each made a touchdown before the first seven minutes. When the squad reported to Dan Jessee and his assistant, Art Christ, early in September, the quarterback position was the big question mark. Brilliant field general and ace passer, Eddie Ludorf, had graduated and the draft had taken Bernie Lawlor and Sam Nakaso to other fields. Dan turned to Bill Vibert, dexterous punter and drop kicker, and George Smith, a rugged end. Bill has shown steady improvement and at mid-season had passed for 428 yards more than any Connecticut player. Incidentally, he has made 96 conversions after touchdowns in his four years of play. The line has been bolstered by the return of rangy Dick Aiken, who caught the winning pass against Wesleyan two years ago. And Dick still knows how to punt. Red Ratcliffe is capably filling last year's Captain Whitey Oberg's

center posmon while veterans Bernie Bogoslofski, Eddie Kulas, Dave Smith, John Wentworth, Dave Simmons and Chuck McElwee have been rowers of strength in the line. Sophomore tackles Ed Palmer and Paul Arcari, and guard Bill Crenson have come along fast. In the season's opener against Dickinson College, a new opponent from Carlisle, Penn., Captain Bill Goralski took the opening kickoff
The Tripod says "As we look at all these miserable incidents which are occurring in colleges all over the country today, we realize how lucky 路we are to be at Trinity. Watching a football game at Trinity Field, or a basketball game at Memorial Field House, we get a strong feeling of pride at the fact that, as a friend from Long Island University rold us, 'There's no money in betting on Trinity games.' 'Not enough interest,' he called it. Well, the kind of interest the games at Bradley and LIU and CCNY received we at Trinity would rather nor have. Sports on the hillrop are clean, and that's the way we hope they stay."

on his four yard line and behind some fine blocking went all the way for a rouchdown. The visirors had a rugged line, but never could get their offense rolling until they scored late in the fourth period. In the meanwhile, Goralski had scored again, AI Magnoli sped 70 yards for another, and Hum DelMastro accounted for the fourth touchdown to make the final score Trinity 27-Dickinson 7. In the second game, Coast Guard dominated much of the play in a very hard fought struggle. Two Trinity fumbles permitted the Cadets ro score twice in the second quarter. The team also lost their star captain, Bill Goralski, with a shoulder injury, and his substitute, Tom DePatie, who received a deep spike wound in his leg. Both teams scored twice in the third period with Aiken and Magnoli leading the Blue and Gold offense. Vibert climaxed an 86 yard drive in the last quarter for the Bantam's final score. The Cadets turned back a final Hilltopper drive deep in their own territory as the game endedCoast Guard 27 Trinity 19. With Bill Goralski on the bench, Al Magnoli scored twice as Hobart fell 26-0. Bill Vibert mixed his plays well as Trin ground out nearly 300 yards in rushing. Chuck McElwee and George Smith each made a timely pass interception while Hum DelMastro's powerful rushes continually split the Hobart line. Trio's offense rolled swiftly against C lby as the team pushed over four touchdowns in the first quarter and two more in the second period for a 41-0 vicrory. DelMastro, who scored twice, displayed one of the most brilliant rushing streaks ever seen on Trinity Field averaging 19.3 yards on the six occasions he carried the ball. Bill Goralski showed his old speed also, but was hurt late in the first period after making a touchdown. Al Magnoli made a fine forty yard run for a score while Dick Aiken caught two passes for touchdowns. The Blue and Gold line completely bottled the Colby attack which only once threatened to tally.
Blinding speed and explosive power outclassed Middlebury as the Panthers fell 42- 19. DelMastro scored three times and Magnoli twice, as once again these speedsters dominated d1e play. The visitors produced two brilliant touchdown runs of 85 yards each and never gave up as they went 65 yards. for their final score in the fourth penod. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL The thirty-five men yearling squad has developed rapidly under Coach Fred Booth's tutelage. The team lacks depth in the line but has several able backfield candidates. Oddly enough there was no player who had had any experience at quarterback. In the opening game powerful Cheshire ran wild in the second half for a 37-6 win after the Blue and Gold held the visitors well in check for two periods. Frank Solomita played well both on offense and defense, and scored the team's only points in the second quarter. Against Wesleyan the team clearly outplayed the Cardinals in the first half, but fell before their arch rivals 13-7. Early in the first quarter Lou Magelaner fell on a Wesleyan fumble and six plays later scored a touchdown with Frank Lentz kicking the point. The Cardinals came back with a forty-four yard pass to score in t?e sec~nd quarter while in the third penod speedy little Bill Gordon swept the Blue and Gold end for a brilliant thirty-eight yard touchdown dash .. The yearlings broke into the wm column by defeating Monson Academy 20-6. Solomita, Ed Lindenmeyer and John Burton each made a touchdown. "Hoor" Nicholson, '52, varsity tackle last year but now on the injury list, has been assisting Fred Booth with the line. Don Valz at center; John Prentice and Bob Thomas at guard; Frank Lentz, Cliff Thatcher and Bill Rhodes at cackle have all come along well. Fred Booth has been forced to shift Lou Magelaner from end to quarterback on the offense. Ed Coburn, Dave Dimling and Ed Lindenmeyer are the leading end prospects with the latter showing much promise on the offense.
Soccer Team Takes Mid-Season Lead in New England Booters League Led by Co-Captains Fin Schaef of Philadelphia and Putty Scott of West Hartford, the team opened irs eight game schedule with convincing wins over Worcester Tech ( 4-1 ), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (3-1), Tufts ( 4-1 ), and the University of Massachusetts (1-0). Despite the graduation of "All New England" Co-Captai n Core Nelson, Ted Laurerwasser, Co-Captain Ralph Marshall, Lou Raden and Cliff Stark, the addition of ten sophomores up from 1950's undefeated freshman ream has given the squad a tremendous lift. One of these second year men, Neil Mutschler of Rochester, N . Y., has an excellent knowledge of the game which he put into effect by racking up five goals in the first three games. Cautious Lloyd McDonald, now in his second year of coaching on the Hillrop, admits that he has a better balanced team than last year's. "We have more depth on the bench even though we lack experience in some positions," says the former All-American player. "If the team will continue to work rogether, ir
will develop rapidly and Yale, Alnherst and Wesleyan will all be in for a tussle." Veteran halfbacks Bob Almquist and Dick Hunter have been consistently playing well. Hunter was our last season with a broken arm, and fractured a toe early this fall. Dick Marshall, brother of Ralph, last year's Co-Captain, has shown much improvement in his play at center halfback while another sophomore, Dave McKenzie at left fullback has been very aggressive and alert. Coach McDonald shifted Maury Fremont-Smith from right wing co center for the Tufts game and he led the attack as well as scoring rwo goals. Against MassachusettS he banged in the game's only goal. Paul Kennedy, last year's freshman center, has replaced him at wing. The freshman team appears to have an extremely strong forward line with Bill Booth, George Lunt, and Dick Doyston showing much ability. The squad turned back M.I.T. 6-1 and played a powerful Choate team to an overtime 3-3 tie.

On Campus The greatest number of young men in college history traveled the Long Walk toward first classes as 922 students enrolled for the 129th year of the College. That the college was larger, not smaller, than a year ago resulted from admission of a Freshman class of 290, accepted last spring when it seemed that at least 200 upperclassmen would be drafted. As the Tripod philosophized, "the unfortunate situation is indeed nobody's fault. None of our administrators have been lucky enough to be crystal ball gazers by profession or avocation." Simultaneously, Trinity's successful effort to enlarge the percentage of resident students reached a full cycle of four classes, resulting. in overcrowding of campus l!vmg quarters. The big Jarvis suites were doubled up tO four and .five men each. There were extra bunks even in some of the minimum spaced rooms of new Elton Hall. And seven unlucky sophomores who failed to make room requests last spring slept in the kitchen of the new college-owned Commons Club House, 118 Vernon Street, for the first two weeks. But it was a different srory in the classroom. The student-faculty ratio has slipped by less than a point. It stands at one teacher to twelve students. The average size of a section is still at a highly commendable "less than twenty" figure although the Dean's office has been too busy to figure the exact average. Thanks tO a general faculty raise given in anticipation of an increased 1952 Alumni Fund, the classes are still taught by some of the nation's finest t~achers. But the administration is still worried about where tO get the money for further increases which will probably have
to be given to keep the Faculty quality up. As the skeleton of the new Library was closed in with brick and brownstone, and the steel girders for the roof were lifted into place by a huge crane, students and faculty alike looked forward eagerly to the tremendous increase in scholarly opportunity which it will offer. Their enthusiasm seemed tO affect research in old Williams Memorial where a senior professor remarked that he had "never before seen so much activity in the Library." There were other indications that '5 1-'52 would be a memorable year. The Freshman Class of 1955 organized a "Beanie Binge" class dance on the first Saturday night of the year. By the third week, they had traveled seventy strong on their first intercollegiate party at Smith. Date books were filling for the .five major social weekends of the year. The student radio station, WRTC, opened the year in newly redecorated studios in the basement of Cook dormitOry. Their library of more than 5,000 records has been newly catalogued in a triple-refer· ence set of revolving files, and the staff started production on a series of half-hour radio plays and on a Saturday afternoon could be heard four miles away in Newington "loud and clear" with play by play accounts of Trinity football games. The Tripod received a Monday evening deadline from Alumnus Ollie Johnson's ('35) Bond Press for their fortieth year of continuous printing there. The Ivy photOgrapher arrived on campus tO take Senior portraits and campus scenes. The Jesters were in production on H aines' "Command Decision" for presentation November 8-13. Newly affiliated with the ROTC
10
and smartly outfitted in Air Force uniforms, the Band outshowed every previous halftime effort. Reviewing the delayed rushing plan, the Interfraternity Council found that, for the second succes· sive year, the all-fraternity scho· lastic average stOod higher than the College average. Almost everybody was happy when the ten fraternities pledged 131 sophomores and eleven upperclassmen, the largest pledge class in college history. These 131 were pledged from a group of 141 sophomores who had expressed a desire to join a fraternity. The Brownell Club for independents started off the year by pledging thirty-five men and be· gan work on conversion of the Campus Cottage basement for ad· ditional clubrooms supplementing their first floor quarters. VisitOrs to the campus included a group of twenty-one Frenchmen on an American tOur, happily escorted by Louis Naylor, and the Red Cross Mobile Blood Bank which collected 201 pints for Korean and domestic use from students, faculty, and staff. The Faculty unanimously granted permission for the over five hundred man Air Force unit tO march in Hartford's Armistice Day parade. With well over half of the student body enrolled for Air Science there is a decidedly military atmosphere in the quadrangle on Monday afternoon drill periods. Yes, it looks like a big year on the Hillrop-one of opportunity for 922 young men.
New Officers Named
D onald B. Eng ley, left, associate li· brarian for the past two years, has succeeded D r. Arthur Adams as Librarian. A graduate of Amherst and Columbia's Library School, he is president-elect of the Connecticut Library Association. ]. Kenneth Robertson , right, succeeds Joseph W. Getzendanner, Jr., as Comprroller. See page 3.
Faculty Profiles F. WOODBRIDGE CONSTANT When Dr. Henry A. Perkins retired in June 1946 after forty-three years of faithful teaching as well as serving twice as acting President, the Faculty lost one of its most brilliant scholars and able teachers. Dr. Perkins' teaching was known throughout the country and hundreds of students could never forget the unfailing courteous gentlemanly qualities of the beloved Jarvis Professor of Physics. The following September Dr. F. Woodbridge Constant of Duke University came to succeed him. His background of study-undergraduate, Princeton, Phi Beta Kappa, B.S. 1925; graduate, Sloan and Loomis Fellow, Yale, Ph.D. 1928; and National Research Fellow at California Institute of Technology, 1928-1930; plus eleven years of teaching at Duke University with the rank of InstructOr, Assistant Professor and Associate Professor made him eminently qualified co be in charge of Jarvis Physics LaboratOry. One might think chat such an extensive scholastic background would make a man one-sided in his leaning towards "heat, light and sound." But the visitOr co Dr. Constant's office is immediately impressed by the kindly professor's keen wit and ready smile. An enthusiastic mountain climber, he loves the outdoors and particularly relishes the opportunity co take his wife, Betty, and nine year boy, Freddy, on camping trips. During the recent war Dr. Constant was an Official Investigator and Research Physicist for the O.S.R.D. for which he received a certificate of merit. A Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, he was instrumental in bringing ~igma Pi Sigma, national physics honor society, co the campus two years ago. Dr. Constant was extremely active while at Duke in Sigma Xi being
Secretary, Vice President and President of the chapter there. Dr. Constant has published several articles in the Physical Review, and is an authority on magnetics and magnetism. He is a popular lecturer-his ropic "Peacetime Applications of Aromic Energy" with demonstrations has gained wide interest. Last spring Dr. Constant and Larry Barrett, '51, constructed a small teaching cyclotron which is a machine that produces a stream of fast moving protons, or deuterons. He points out that universities with their multimillion dollar and multimillion volt cyclotrons have done most of the dramatic research work, but there are many holes in our knowledge of nuclear physics and we may be able co fill some of them in. With his spmt of pioneering, with his scholarly background, and with his many sterling qualities, the Physics Department is indeed in strong and able hands. JOHN DANDO The Faculty has had many able new Instructors join its ranks recently. One of them, John D ando of Rawdon, Canada, brings co the English Department considerable experience in the teaching of contemporary literature and speech. He also brings to the campus a vast knowledge of radio techniques, having his own program on Montreal Station CKVL "Great Men of Letters" a weekly half-hour talk on outstanding figures in British, American and European Literature.
11
This program is now in its fifth year, and is produced by transcription when Mr. Dando is on the Hilltop. Another side of this affable, pipe smoking, bachelor instructor is his acting ability, for he has taken leading roles wid1 the Montreal Shakespeare Society and the Montreal Repertory Theatre. In 1947 be played the leading role in the latter's production of "Amphitryon '38" which won the Canadian Drama Festi~al award as the best play in Enghsh that year. He also directs plays, having been in charge of a series of Elizabethan productions while instructing at McGill University. Born in Stafford, England, during World War I, Mr. Dando came to Canada at the age of six and graduated from McGill in 1938. He taught English and French at his Alrna Mater; became director of Drama and Speech at West Hill High School, Montreal in 1940路 and then returned to McGill a~ Lecturer in English while studying for his master's degree. In 1948 he received a Fellowship to continue his work for the doctorate at Columbia. It is easy to see that radio is Mr. Dando's great delight. Besides his "~rear Men of Letters" program, illS CBS series of Bible Stories was a 1949 award winner in the annual Ohio State University Exhibition of Educational Programs. And last April 8 he began his series "Behind the Pages" every Sunday afternoon at 1:15 over Station WTIC. This program 1f ves the listener an opportunity co hear not only critical reviews of great literature but also the literature itself. Mention muse be made chat Mr. Dando has also a reputation as a writer. His "Builders of a Nation" -the biographies of seven Canadian statesmen-has had its second printing. Mr. Dando also finds time co advise the Atheneum Society, the venerable debating organization. Already a marked increase in this student activity has been seen. May this versatile young man long continue to spread his knowledge 'Neath the Elms.
George C. Capen, '10 Heads Alumni Fund
A Message to All Trinity Men by George C. Capen Chairman, 1952 Alumni Fund
For $ 50,000 Hugh S. Campbell, '32, President of the National Alumni AsSOC!auon, has announced that George C. Capen, '10, will head the 1952 Alumni Fund campaign. A former National Alumni President, member of the Board of Fellows, and Alumnus Trustee, Mr. Capen is well known to hundreds of Trinity men for his unflagging interest in the College's welfare ever since his undergraduate days. George Malcolm-Smith, '25, will be the Fund Vice Chairman; Sidney H . Whipple, '20, Chairman of Special Gifts; and L. Barton Wilson, III, '3 7, Chairman of Promotion. This year the Fund will open in November. The earlier opening has been requested by alumni who believe many would like to take advantage of year-end giving and who feel that more contributions can be secured over a longer period of time. The goal is $50,000, an increase of $15,000 over last year's fund. The Campaign Committee will ask for increased gifts from past contributors and for a larger percentage of participation from the 4,800 alumni. The annual Class Agent's Dinner was held on October 26 in Hamlin Dining Hall and was well attended. Alex W. Creedon, '09, presided and introduced Hugh Campbell, George Capen, Robert P. Waterman, '31, and President Hughes who stressed the importance of the Fund in relation ro increased faculty salaries. Chuck Kingsron, '34, presented the Class of 1934 Trophy for the third successive year to Bob Morris, '16, as outstanding Class Agent for the year. This class made an excellent record in the amount given as well as in the percentage of givers to the '51 fund .
Because our goal of $50,000 is needed ro pay for salary increases voted to the faculty and staff on September 1, 1951, it is most important that the 1952 Alumni Ftmd go over the top. No one can question the fact that faculty salaries are out of line-not just out of line with analogous professions-but out of line with just plain ordinary expenses of living. If Trinity is to continue to compete, academically and on other collegiate levels, with her sister New England institutions, then more money must be raised for faculty salaries. The goal is $50,000, an increase of $15,000 over last year's. This is an appreciable increase, bur I know that Trinity men consider the faculty to be the heart of the college and the goal should, therefore, be over-subscribed. I feel sure that Trinity alumni will give generously to support the men who taught them, and to insure the continued high quality of a Trinity education for the students of today and tomorrow.
The Class of 1950 And the Burgess Plan Two years ago, Thomas Burgess, Jr., '32, concerned about the small number of contributors to the Alumni Fund and the lack of continuity in giving, suggested a plan to the Alumni Fund Committee to be used with graduating classes. Under this plan, seniors are asked by their Class Agent Committee to sign a 10-year voluntary pledge to give a dollar for each year out of college to each annual Alumni Fund. The class of 1950 Committee during their senior year obtained pledges from 190 of their 200 members in college. Last year, 179 of these men contributed. The 58.3 % shown on the final report, therefore, needs explanation. Following graduation, the official number of the class was increased to over 300 to include students who had attended Trinity for a short period and left for various reasons. Therefore, the figure of 58.3 % is not indicative of the fine job of the Class of ' 50 under the leadership of Jay Geiger and the following committee: Richard K. Avitabile, Raymond
12
M. Beirne, Robert M. Blum, Robert L. Compton, Douglas Donald, Jr., Wardwell G. Hadley, John F. H ardwick, Justin S. Maccarone, Francis J. Mullane, Donald E. Sheahan, Andrew N . Shepard, Frank W. Sherman, and James C. Vanloon. The Class of '51 adopted the same plan this spring and signed up nearly 100 % of their class who were in college prior to graduation. The '51 Committee is headed up by William H. Vanlanen, and the following members: D avid M. Blair, Byard P. Bridge, Harry H. Browne, 'fimorhy R. Cutting, Norman J. Elmes, Jr., Thomas F. Ferguson, John J. Kane, Jr., John F. Klingler, Maurice H. Martel, D . Michael Mitchell, W. Howie Muir, II. , Armando T. Ricci, Jr., and Arthur F. Roche.
Air Force Enrolls 514 Lt. Col. Phillip Hallam reports that 514 undergraduates have enrolled in the Air ROTC Unit this fall. The Monday afternoon drills by the Bishop give the campus a decided military flavour.

Mr. Toastmaster, Dean Hughes, Gentlemen of Trinity College: As your President, I convey to you the warm greeting of the officers and Executive Committee of the Alumni Association. I want to tell you how personally heartening it is to see the kind response we have here tonight on the part of so many loyal and devoted Trinity men. It is the best evidence of that old precept that when you have a big job to do, get a bunch of busy men to do it! I am going to speak to you tonight on the subject: The Importance of the '52 Fund to Trinity and its Alumni. The most important undertaking of the Alumni Association is the conduct of the Annual Alumni Fund Cam-
paign. This year we have a new goal, an objective which I am certain will commend itself to you and through you to our Alumni. It represents both a challenge and an opportunity-a challenge which I am sure you will accept and an opportunity which I am sure our Alumni will welcome. Briefly, we have set our sights on raising a fund of X dollars-! repeat X dollars-earmarked for college salaries. Now why is this fund of importance to Trinity and particularly to its Alumni? Its importance lies in the fact that in the academic world-just as in the business world-the law of competition operates-and money attracts talent. Certain! y American business is talent conscious and talent hungry! All of you who are familiar with large business organizations know how much importance is attached to the subject of managerial talent and manpower. Does it ever occur to you that the greatest single asset of all the corporations of the land doesn't even appear in their balance sheets-their manpower! Many of you are familiar with the story told by Andrew Carnegie. He said, "Take away my mines, my ships, my mills, take away all that I have, and leave me my men-and I'll have it all back in a year!" Certainly big government is talent conscious and talent hungry! I am not speaking of elective political office here, but of staff positions in the multitudinous governmental agencies which, whether we like them or not, are nevertheless part of today's American scene and are all competitors for talent. Both big business and big government are today competing with the colleges for academic talent. How about the economic status of college personnel? College Faculty members comprise one of the great professional classes of our society. You are familiar with their salary ranges as shown in Keith's latest report. How do they compare with the other professions? I hold in my hand a card showing the results of a survey conducted by the United States Department
of Commerce with the assistance of the American Medical Association: in 1949, the average gross earnings of physicians was $19,710, and the net was $11,744; in 1948, the average net earnings for salaried and independent practicing attorneys was $8,315. I would be the first to admit that teaching is often a labor of love and that monetary considerations alone do not always attract and hold men in the profession, but the inescapable fact remains that in today's economic climate the lot of the academician is not as comfortable as we all would wish. I will not belabor the point further. Enough has been said, I think, to indicate the disparity between the incomes enjoyed by these groups and the personnel of our colleges. The problem of adequate rewards for the Faculty and Staff of our American colleges is an acute problem in our society. Indeed, Irving Olds of United States Steel has pointed out to business its social obligation to support our educational institutions, and I will venture the prediction that the day will come, if indeed it is not already at hand, when American business in growing numbers will acknowledge and accept a greater share of that responsibility. The Alumni of Trinity College have a 'deep and abiding interest in the reputation of their Alma Mater, and a chief contributor to that reputation is the quality and calibre of its Faculty and Staff. WE WANT TO INSURE THAT TRINITY CONTINUES TO BE ABLE TO ATTRACT AND TO KEEP ITS FAIR SHARE OF AVAILABLE TALENT, TEACHING AND ADMINISTRATIVE, AND WE MUST BE PREPARED TO DO WHATEVER NEEDS BE DONE TO THAT END. Now the drive we are launching tonight is no panacea. It is merely a step in the right direction-an earnest of the Alumni's interest and desire to keep our college strong.
I am going to ask each of you to turn back in your mind for a moment to the first day you set foot on Trinity's campusa verdant, green, young freshman. Ask yourselves, "What did it look like and why did I come here?" In my own case, coming here in 1928, you entered by a roadway off Vernon Street that led by the President's house and old Alumni Hall. There was no Chapel, no Ogilby Hall, no Trowbridge Memorial, no Cook, Hamlin, Woodward, Hallden, Goodwin, Elton, no chemistry building, no field house, and no new library. There was a distinguished Faculty whose members were acknowledged as scholars by their peers at home and abroad. They shed their lustre upon the college, and Trinity was a beacon-light of learning throughout the land. It was a college in the sense of the old definition that a college consists of a student on a log with Mark Hopkins on the other end. Today we have through the efforts and devotion of many men, a magnificent physical plant and still, thank God, an able, illustrious, and loyal Faculty. The buildings, in which we all may take great and justifiable pride, will stand for generations, but if the spirit of learning ever leaves them, for whatever cause, they will be but so much echoing stone and space, empty of life and meaning. That spirit of learning :which is Trinity's reason for being is entrusted to all of us, but most especially to the Faculty who are its traditional guardians and servants. One of our most important roles as Alumni should be to help make their place economically secure. Gentlemen, the Executive Committee of your Alumni Association has given the trustees a commitment to raise $50,000 for this purpose. That is our challenge, our opportunity, and our collective responsibility!
Final Report of the 1951 Alumni Fund by Harmon T. Barber '19, Chairman The 1951 Alumni Fund was a success. There were more contribucors, representing a greater proportion of total alumni, who gave substantially more in total than in previous years. The figures below will illustrate the progress made by the Alumni Fund since the Alumni Association assumed administration of this important function three years ago: No. of Alumni Percent T otal Amottnt Contributors of T otal Alttmni of Fztnd 862 21.0 19,689.92 1949 26.6 1178 1950 30,956.42 1594 33.4 1951 36,995.73 A few comments on these results : There were 620 new alumni contributors this year, but 204 of those who contributed last year did nor respond in 1951, thus leaving a ner increase of 416. Had we retained the 204 lost, we could have shown a 50 % increase in the number of alumni contributors. Here lies a challenge for future years. An outstanding feature of the year was the contribution made on behalf of future alumni, i.e., gifts from parents of present students. This support is a demonstration of the confidence and faith which parents have in Triniry. Ler's hope that this enthusiasm will be transmitted to the sons. The work of the Class Agents deserves commendation. Because of their efforts, the statement may be made that not a single Triniry alumnus failed co contribute to the 1951 Alumni Fund because he was not aware of our ambitions or has not been asked to participate. It is co be expected that greater accomplishments by the Alumni Fund will be realized in the years to come. George Capen, '10, will serve as Chairman of the Alumni Fund Committee for the next year. The worthiness of the purpose of the 1952 Fund-co maintain a superior faculry at Triniry--deserves your cooperation and support.

Last year, m the third year of the reorganized Alumni Fund under the National Alumni Association, it was decided to try to stimulate in the alumni an awareness of the importance of continuous giving. This was done by noting on the contributors acknowledgement card, "Third Year Contributor," where such individuals had contributed m '49, '5 0 and '5 1. Although there are many alumni who contributed to Trinity for many previous years the Committee decided to set the starting point for reorganizing regular giving at the 1949 date. The names of the men who have shown continuous loyalry by regular giving are set in italics 1n this list.

In 1912 Mr. Hartford persuaded his father and elder brother, George, to let him open a store that did not use charge accounts, delivery service and telephone orders. The elder Mr. Hartford agreed and the new store opened near the A & P's most profitable store in Jersey City. Although the new venture had no name, in six months it drove the bigger one out of business . Within two years Mr . Hartford opened 1,600 stores modelled after the successful Jersey City experiment, and the great A & P chain grew to over 15,000 stores in 1930. At that time supermarkets of rival firms were springing up and Mr. Hartford entered this field with vigor. For every new A & P supermarket built six of the old-type scores were closed, but the sales volume grew until last year it was over three billion dollars. Mr. Hartford,-路was also keenly interested in the manufacturing, processing and wholesaling of foods. He built factories to make preserves, candies and pastries for his stores. The American Coffee Company which bought directly from South American growers was Mr. Hartford's enterprise. In 1937 Trinity awarded Mr. Hartford an honorary Master of Arts degree. He was an honorary trustee of Presbyterian Hospital, New York City, and was a director of Chrysler Corporation; the Guaranty Trust Company; the Prudential Insurance Company; the Long Island Railroad and the New Haven Railroad. His older brother, George, is Mr. Hartford's only close survivor. His wife, the former Miss Pauline Corwin of Middletown, New York, died in 1949.
