The Trinity Alumni Magazine is published four times yearly : Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer.

Second Class postage paid at Hartford, Connecticut 06106.

Looking Ahead As readers of this magazine know, the 1966 Lecturer-in-Residence at Trinity last Spring was Constantinos Doxiadis, probably the most highly regarded practitioner of city planning and urban renewal in the world.

It was disclosed by President Jacobs, as this magazine went to the printer, that Trinity, with the cooperation of the Hartford Hospital and the Institute of Living, will soon begin a study looking toward possible sponsorship of an urban renewal program in Hartford's South End area which the institutions share as neighbors.

The firm of Doxiadis Associates, Inc., which has headquarters in Athens, offices in a dozen countries and operations in 30 or more, has been engaged to examine and report on the feasibility of such an undertaking.

"The three participating institutions have long and distinguished records of public service in Hartford,'' said Dr. Jacobs, "and it is now their hope to play a significant role in the revitalization of the city as the core of a rapidly developing metropolitan area.

"They hope to help their neighborhood become an exemplary place in which to live and work," he said.

In the United States the Doxiadis organization has been responsible for urban planning and renewal projects in many major cities, including Detroit, Louisville, Cincinnati, Washington and Philadelphia. In the latter city the $400,000,000 Eastwick urban renewal program covers 2,500 acres.

Dr. Doxiadis has been a visiting lecturer at the University of Chicago, Harvard, Yale, Princeton and M.I.T. as well as Trinity. His programs have included planning and redevelopment projects in Greece, Iraq, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, and the creation of Islamabad, new capital of Pakistan. Trained in Greece and Germany in architecture and civil engineering, he blends the philosophical concept of the scholar with the expertise of the technologist.

"Thus it is particularly appropriate," said Dr. Jacobs, "that the Doxiadis organization be asked to study the possible future relationships of our three neighboring institutions to their community.

"In the study, each of the institutions will attempt to look forward at least 25 years," Dr. Jacobs added. "The objective will be a continuing increase in effective service, as well as the enhancement of the future of our immediate community."

REFLECTIONS ...

As a college campus should be, Trinity's campus was a lively and articulate place as summer approached.

There was, for example, the outdoor "read-in" sponsored by a group known as "Students for a Democratic Society" to protest American policy and participation in VietNam. The event, on a sunny afternoon in Funston Court, drew an audience which the Courant estimated at about 150. The young people and a sprinkling of faculty members heard a group of writers, poets, scholars and a former Broadway stage star. Most of them had appeared earlier in the series of similar meetings at Harvard, Columbia and other eastern schools. They read their own works or the works of others. The theme, of course, was the affliction of war - in particular the war in Viet Nam. Susan Sontag, critic and novelist, provided the keynote. She said she had come "to bear witness to our sorrow and anxiety and revulsion at the American war in Viet Nam." General Sherman said it more briefly in his observation that "War is Hell."

Agreeing or not with our national effort to find a solution to the incredibly complex puzzle of VietNam, one left the meeting with a feeling of satisfaction that dissent, earnestly expressed, remains a basic American tenet.

The so-called "draft exams" found several hundred Trinity students in Krieble Auditorium or the Field House poring over what they termed rather dull true-orfalse questions. There was little stir. A few earnest dissenters waited outside with placards. One placard read: "We want draft beer, not draft exams." The protesters called the draft system "inequitable," asserting that "it helps a social elite based on intelligence to escape the draft, thus discriminating against those unable to get to college and to seek deferment." But many who took the exam emerged calling it a waste of time. They termed it a test that a high school freshman should polish off easily.

Dr. Jacobs, asked for his opinion, told a UPI reporter that "I agree with many of my academic colleagues that the present Selective Service policy can be improved and may with benefit be restudied." He added that "we must recognize the importance of a continuing flow of young people who are given no cause for cynicism and whose desire to contribute to our society as best they can remains unimpaired."

-----

Summer brought another outdoor reading, this a unique presentation of T. S. Eliot's long poem, "Four Quartets." Arranged for four voices, soprano, alto, tenor and bass, it was staged in the early-evening shadows, with the Chapel's South Cloister the background. Professor James Gardner, increasingly known for his work on Eliot, had done an arrangement that constituted in a sense a new art form. Professor John Dando, Chaplain Tull, Amelia Silvestri, whom Hartford theater goers

know well, and Betty Paine, of the Austin Arts Center staff, provided the voices. Then a fifth voice was heard reading the section of the poem known as the "lyric sermon." It was the voice of President Jacobs.

Somehow it seemed that even more than in other years a feeling for the humanism that underpins the liberal education marked Commencement. There was the traditional camaraderie of the luncheons and dinners and reunions leading to Sunday. Sunday came in sunny and pleasant. The academic robes and hoods of many colors blended strangely with the campus greenery. The inspiration of Bishop Dean's baccalaureate sermon moved a senior trustee to ask that the address be reprinted in a booklet at his expense and mailed to the graduates as a memento. In his Commencement address, Mr. Vance, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, asked the men of 1966 to accept their heritage as "a commitment to the aspirations of mankind." The ten who received honorary degrees were men whose careers attest to that commitment. For one of them, Albert E. Holland '34, this was a leave-taking, his last campus observance before departure to become the president of a sister liberal arts college.

There was quick but thoughtful applause when Dr. Jacobs in his charge to the seniors noted that "man reaches for the moon in his spacecraft while still unable to reach across the conference table for the hand clasp of understanding among peoples." And there was applause again, this time emotional, when Peter Duran of Stamford, coming to the platform guided by Dusty, his seeing-eye dog and constant companion, was asked to remain for a moment as Dr. Jacobs read a brief citation noting the service of the four-footed aide through Peter's Trinity years.

Soon it was over with the singing of "Neath the Elms." A member of the 50-year anniversary class, walking slowly away, said he could not remember a Commencement more notable.

Trinity increasingly becomes an institution national in scope with students from all but three or four states and alumni in every state and many foreign countries. But the College continues also to be a Hartford institution, aware of its responsibility to the city of its birth.

So it was with interest that local alumni read recently that Dr. C. Duncan Yetman, Trinity '40, had been appointed principal of Hartford Public High School. He will be the third Trinity alumnus currently in top administrative posts in Hartford's three public high schools.

Frederick T. Bashour, Bulkeley High principal, is Trinity '34. Ezra Melrose, Weaver High principal, is on the roll of the Class of 1933. He was a recipient June 4 of the Alumni Medal for Excellence.

REUNION

At precisely 11:28 A.M. on Friday, June 3, Rollin M. Ranson '21, Windsor, Conn., was the first alumnus to register for the varied activities of the 1966 Reunion Weekend. He was closely followed by Lloyd E. Smith '23, Racine, Wis., and, over the next day and a half, by some five hundred others who came from near and far to represent dozens of classes.

It was to be a weekend of greeting old friends, of reminiscing, of investigating the changes that have taken place in the campus since the last visit, of attending seminars and meetings, of gathering in small groups, and just talking. For perhaps the last time, the alumni would meet with members of the Senior Class as next year the Reunion Weekend will be scheduled for the week following graduation.

1:00 P.M.

The first formal event of the afternoon, an Alumni Reading Program Seminar, was a panel discussion on "Democracy and Foreign Policy." Mr. G. William Benz, instructor in government, acted as chairman. A second seminar- "Rebuilding the Cities" -was conducted by Professor Theodore R. Blakeslee II. Guest speaker was Mr. E. F. R. Horner, manager, regional development department, Greater Hartford Chamber of Commerce.

2:00P.M.

A highlight of Friday afternoon was the first of a two-game weekend baseball series with Wesleyan. Robert E. Brickley '67 made it three in a row against the Cardinals by pitching a strong six-hitter for a 5-2 win.

It was his sixth victory of the season.

3:00P.M.

In the meantime, the Board of Fellows and the National Alumni Executive Committee were convening in separate deliberations. Several of their decisions would be made known at the annual Alumni Meeting on Saturday.

4:30P.M.

Final event of the afternoon was the first panel of the Alumni Symposium. It was titled "Man's Past (Animal Origin and Evolution)" and Dr. Charles E. Jacobson '31 served as chairman. Panelists included Dr. J. Wendell Burger, J. Pierpont Morgan professor of biology, Dr. M. Curtis Langhorne, professor of psychology, and Dr. Richard K. Morris '40, associate professor of education.

6:00P.M.

Then it was the traditional beer and clams at the Field House, followed by a buffet dinner.

The activities of the evening included a reading by Professor John Dando and, for the more adventuresome, dancing to Dixieland music in Hamlin. Of course the reunion headquarters were in full swing and remained so until the small hours.

On the platform at the Alumni Symposium: Professor Burger; Chairman Jacobson; Professor Langhorne; Professor Morris; and a group of friends.

The Class of 1906 was represented by Victor E. Rehr (left), and Frederick C. Hinkel Jr.

10 :00 A.M.

On Saturday morning, the Memorial Service in the Chapel honored the sixty-four alumni who had died during the previous twelve months. Participating in the service were the Rev. Roderic Pierce '16, the Venerable Lewis B. Sheen '41, and the Rev. Alan C. Tull, chaplain of the College.

10:30 A.M.

At mid-morning, the second Alumni Symposium"The Young Man - His Aspirations and Motivations Today" - was held in the Krieble Auditorium. The discussion was headed by Chairman Hugh S. Campbell '32 and assisted by panelists Dr. Richard Scheuch, professor of economics, Dr. Karl E. Scheibe '59, assistant professor of psychology at Wesleyan, William M. Polk '62, a graduate student at Union Theological Seminary, and E. Kingdon Hurlock Jr., a member of the Senior Class.

11:45 A.M.

Shortly before noon, reunion classes were evacuated from headquarters rooms, once again in the same boisterous state of the previous evening. With reluctance, costumed alumni and wives posed in front of Jarvis for their formal class photos.

Noon

As the clock in the tower of Downes Memorial struck the hour of noon, the marching music began and Parade Marshal Robert S. Morris '16, led the trek from the Bishop to the Field House. As usual it was colorful, noisy, and enjoyed by marchers and spectators alike. There were banners, signs, funny hats, blazers, and three antique cars, lent for the occasion by Edward A. Smith '44, which huffed and puffed their way along the precarious route.

12:30 P.M.

Following the buffet luncheon, the Annual Meeting of the Alumni Association was called to order by Alumni President Seymour E. Smith '34. First order of business was the presentation of citations to retiring-Professors Ray Oosting and Louis H. Naylor, in recognition of their combined eighty-five years as members of the Trinity faculty. A special award was presented to Albert E. Holland, vice president of the College, and presidentelect of Hobart and Williams Smith Colleges.

Alumni prizes were awarded . . . to the Class of 1916, the Board of Fellows Bowl ... and the Jerome Kohn Award for the best class attendance ... to William G. Oliver Jr. '41 from Buenos Aires, the award for traveling the farthest ... to Victor F. Morgan '99, the prize for the oldest alumnus present ... to the Boston Alumni Association, the Capen Trophy, for being judged the best all-around alumni area association.

Robert Toland '44, chairman of the Board of Fellows, then read the citation for the recipient of the Eigenbrodt Trophy, the highest honor the alumni can bestow upon a fellow-alumnus. Citing his contributions to College and community, Mr. Toland presented the coveted award to Melvin W. Title '18.

Lyman B. Brainerd '30, vice president of the Board of Trustees, presented to Dr. Jacobs the four winners of the Alumni Medal of Excellence. The medals and accompanying citations were given by the President to Ezra Melrose '33, Harold W. Messer '26, R~ymond C. Parrott '53 and Lloyd E. Smith '23.

Baccalaureate At the Baccalaureate Service, Sunday, June 5, the sermon was delivered by The Right Reverend Ralph S. Dean, D.D., Bishop of Cariboo, Canada, and Executive Officer of The Anglican Communion .

. . . As I reflect on my own university life, I am struck by the fact that the process was uncommonly like that experience by a group of young men, who nearly 2000 years ago, associated themselves with a teacher of the day. Whatever Jesus Christ was eventually to. be seen to be- Son of God, Saviour of the World, etc.,- even his enemies from the very beginning regarded him as a teacher. Thus, when we call his first friends disciples, we are being strictly accurate. The word "disciple" means "learner" and that is what the first disciples were. The relationship between a good teacher and respective student can clearly be seen in that early group. It is a relationship which alone validates a proper educational process - that of challenge and response. The aim and goal is not indoctrination, but education; not imposing from without, but drawing out from within; not brainwashing, but mind-stirring ....

Throughout your time here, then, if you have profited from it at all, .you have been involved in that dialectical exercise which forever keeps you at full stretch. So were the disciples of Jesus Christ. And for them, as for us, it was a terrifying experience. They had pre-suppositions - he upset them. They had a neatly rounded grasp of what they thought was the Divine purpose - he contradicted it; "It was said to you of old time, but I say unto you ..."etc. They had hopes for the future- be altered them out of all recognition. At every level, there was challenge and they bad to make response or withdraw from the course. And have you noticed bow the curriculum which Our Lord followed with his disciples wasuncannily like a developing university course. His first contact with them was like first-year Arts- general, unspecific, foundational, such as would be of value for anyone at all. This is the pattern of the early part of Our Lord's teaching ministry. There are general discourses to the multitudes, like the Sermon on the Mount.

There were general ethics to large classes, and a kind of exam at the end of it, and not all the multitude passed.

After the mysterious words near the beginning of His ministry about true life consisting in eating the flesh and drinking the blood of the Son of Man - "From that time on, many of his disciples withdrew and no longer went about with him. So Jesus asked the Twelve, 'Do you also want to leave me?' Simon Peter answered him, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? Your words are words of eternal life. We have faith, and we know that you are the Holy One of God.' " There had been a challenge, you see, and only some bad been able to make response.

It is with them that Our Lord now directly concerns

himself. The others were what we used to call in Canada "Christmas graduates."

So from now on, there are smaller classes. Just like second, third and fourth-year Arts. And because this is the case, the pattern of the second part of Our Lord's ministry is different too. No multitudes now, only a little group. No sensational miracles now, only solid teaching.

No more general ethics now, but tremendous challenges as to what Christian discipleship really involves. And then comes the final exam - and there is only one question and there are no options: "When He came to the territory of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples, 'Who do men say that the Son of Man is?' They answered, 'Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, others Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.' 'And you' be asked, 'who do you say I am?' Simon Peter answered: 'You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God.' " I want you to consider the claims of the Man who spoke like that and the challenge He represents. Remember, He claimed to be THE Way, THE Truth, THE Life. Not one way among many, but the only Way. Not a bit of the truth, or himself as merely true, but the incarnation, the embodying of all Truth. Not a way of life, but the only Life, in the light of which anything else is mere existence. What a challenge this is! What response will you make?

If what He says is true, then all the truth you have learned in the university leads to Him, runs up into Him never away from Him. And involvement in truth, therefore, involves you inevitably with Him : if what He says is true. And so this is the challenge: Did He speak the truth or not? If he did, then you have no option but to throw in your lot with Him and with the Church - the whole Church which is His Body. For, as one scholar said recently, "In His Church Christ offers a uew life of communion with God and in God and it is within this context that He brings new wishes to the mind and new power to the will."

But suppose Christ did not tell the truth. Suppose He was not what He claimed to be. What then? Then you have to spurn Him utterly and completely as a liar, a deceiver, a blasphemer and a megalomaniac. Don't you see . . . the one thing you cannot do is to dither about¡in the middle. You cannot be content - the logic of the matter won't let you - with any nonsense about His merely being a good man. If what He said and claimed was not true, then He is not a good man but an ump.itigated liar. He claimed to be the way of God and the 9

incarnation of the truth. If He was not, He was not a good man but the world's most terrible deceiver. As the old Latin Father said "Aut Deus, aut non bonus."

Either He is God, or He is not good.

In the confrontation with truth- any kind of truthyou are inevitably confronted with Christ. You can either cast your life at His feet - that life with your new honours, your new potential and new possibility - and live in His service, or you must denounce Him and fight against Him. That is the challenge and there must be a response. Neutrality is utterly impossible- intellectually, academically, morally or practically.

Let me put it in another light. There came a day when Jesus stood in the presence of a minor civil servant, the Procurator of Judaea, called Pontius Pilate. It was an occasion when the judge became the judged and the accused the silent accuser. In vain, the earthly judge seeks to evade his responsibility and turns to the mob for answer: "What then shall I do with Jesus which is

called Christ?" They all said "Crucify Him." He said "What evil hath he done?" But they shouted the more"Crucify Him, crucify Him." And though Pilate took water and washed his hands, there isn't enough water in the world to wash away his responsibility. But you see the logiG of the crowd, even if Pilate did not. If you will not follow Him, you have to crucify Him. If you will not serve IV.m, you have to destroy Him. This is the challenge ... the choice of responsibility is yours. It is only fair to tell you that the nagging uncertainty, the nameless fear, the unaccountable despair that grips all our hearts, will never cease till we have made a decision.

Let the blind old poet, George Matheson, have the last word: 0 Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee; I lay in dust life's glory dead, And from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be.

For Faith and Courage-Commendation The story of Peter S. Duran, Trinity '66, of Stamford, Conn., created more than usual interest among news writers of Hartford and elsewhere at Commencement time. The evidence ranged from a page-one piece in The New York Times of June 6 to a lengthy, illustrated, and extremely readable feature by Paul Hodge in the June issue of Connecticut Life.

Peter Duran is the student who, sightless since early boyhood, was graduated near the top of his class as a math major. Now he plans to head for Michigan-Oakland University as a teaching assistant and for work toward the M.A. in Mathematics. The Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin is the subsequent goal he has set for himself.

He'll make it, too.

"And why not?" asked a classmate who, with 20-20 eyesight, says he had difficulty seeing some of the complex problems that failed to awe Duran. "Why shouldn't lie make it? Ever since he came to Trinity he has consistently accomplished what he set out to do.'' The classmate added: "And when you tackle some of the questions raised in a course such as 'Logic and Foundations of Mathematics,' you are not kidding around."

Duran has no misgivings with regard to a teaching career. As a junior he lectured twice to a junior colloquium.

During the past year, he worked in "help sessions," tossing the lifeline to less adept students who were threshing about in the rough seas of indeterminate forms, differential equations and double integrals, although they hit a curve ball well and can sight a pretty girl at 200 yards. Once at the blackboard, or armed with pencil and paper, Duran finds no problem in setting down the Iangauge of equations and symbols.

As you might guess, Duran is¡ interested in public education for the sightless young person. Because school officials of his home community did not share his views

10

on the educational potential of youngsters thus handicapped, his early years of study were by private instruction at home.

"I was bored silly," he told Mr. Hodge. "I was treated as though I were retarded.''

On his own, young Pe~er ordered "talking books"records - supplied by "Recordings for the Blind.•: The books he listened to included Origin of the Species; Dr. Einstein and the University; Man, Apes and Morons.

His home-instructor concluded he was, after all, ready for school instruction and persuaded the officials to enroll him in the eighth grade. Peter, enjoying life, asking no favors, laughing at odds, planning always for the future, has been driving ahead ever since.

And now about Dusty, the guide dog, Duran's constant companion in the Trinity years With poise and dignity, dedicated to the job at hand, Dusty has walked the campus at Duran's side. On Commencement Day, Dusty was at his side as the graduating senior received his diploma.

Then, to the surprise of all but a few, Duran was asked to remain for a moment as President Jacobs read a brief commendation written for the four-footed aide.

If you were there, ypp need no description of the moment. If you were not there, adequate description is impossible. Let's note only that it was an emotionally moving moment.

The commendation read: "I admit you, faithful dog Dusty, as an honorary member of our society." The audience, which had been asked before the program began to refrain from applause until the end, broke the rule.

But the considerable clamor did not jar the guide dog.

With customary calm, Dusty steered the newest Trinity alumnus to the platform steps and back to the section of seniors.

COMMENCEMENT At the 140th Commencement Exercises, Sunday, June 5, one hundred and seventy-six seniors received Bachelor of Arts degrees and fifty-six, Bachelor of Science degrees. Seventy-four Master's degrees were awarded. . The Commencement Address was delivered by the Honorable Cyrus R. Vance, Deputy Secretary of Defense.

. . . The peace and beauty of this lovely campus is not - unhappily - a universal symbol of the state of our contemporary world.

"Peace," said St. Thomas Aquinas, "is the tranquillity of order.''

Unfortunately, there is neither much tranquility, nor much order in our world. It is complex and tangled in its relationships, and strained in its tensions.

And it is beset by a litany of problems: There is the awesome presence of nuclear weapons: a somber hint of holocaust that hangs permanently as the backdrop to the tragedy of man's hostility.

There is the whole web of complexities that flow from the struggle for civil rights: a struggle that oscillates between ¡the rational and the emotional, and sums up in itself all those frailties of human prejudice. In a senseless chain of reaction, one bigotry begets another bigotry; and one blindness, another blindness.

There is the volcanic emergence of new nations around the world: some coming to term in violence; others born peacefully, but faced with severe pains of growth.

There is the problem of hunger hanging over half the human race; the grim certainty of disease; the paralysis of human poverty, that saps ambition and drains away hope.

There are the disheartening statistics of educational deprivation; the fact that after some six thousand years of civilization, six out of every ten human beings alive today cannot even read, much less enjoy the full fruits of learning.

There are all these problems - and more.

None is easily solved. None will simply fade away.

None- out of any inner necessity- will cure itself.

Modem man, then, looks out on a world that is marred and pock-marked with old problems- and constantly plagued by new ones.

What is man to do in this situation? . . .

Some fundamental issues must be dealt with ultimately at the summit of authority, where the Congress and the Executive Branch have both the mandate and the means to cope with them.

But most problems are not solved merely by passing a law, or signing an executive order. Most problems involve people at every level of government - national,

state, and local - and at every level of corporate and private society.

Civil rights is a classic illustration of this. Racial justice requires wise legislation, and equitable enforcement of the law; but no one can pretend that bigotry can be eliminated with the scratch of a pen, or the passing of a sentence.

Bigotry must be rooted out from its ultimate habitat; the human heart and mind. The government can assist in this process but ultimately each citizen -in his own milieu - must see to it that he himself renders to others the justice and respect that are their due.

Not everyone can be an activist in every cause. But every private citizen can have a public conscience. Every private citizen can be concerned with the basic issues of his time, and must take those steps he can to seek responsible solutions.

The two key words, it seems to me, are concern and responsibility.

If the individual is concerned, if the individual is responsible, what can he do?

He can, first, make himself aware that a specific problem exists. He can identify it. He can, with study and work and thought, determine for himself what issue is before him - and not accept the definition of another man .. . .

It need not be a public stand, although it can be. It need not be a stand that leads you to participation in an active movement, although it can be. But it must be your own stand, representative of your own thinking and your own conclusion ....

Now, what we have said of the individual- and his need to meet the major issues in a concerned and r~ sponsible way - is true of the nation as well.

11

Just as an individual cannot withdraw from the issues that confront him, so neither can a nation.

Just as an individual cannot deal with difficulties in isolation, so neither can a nation.

And just as an individual is strengthened by facing problems responsibly within the larger community of individuals, so too a nation is strengthened by facing problems responsibly within the larger community of nations.

Now the United States- as a nation -has a heritage of facing problems directly and openly, and dealing with them on the basis of fundamental principles.

That can be seen best by exploring the manner in which we dealt with the most important problem that any nation can face: our birth and independence.

The men meeting in Philadelphia in 177 6 were revolutionaries. But they were revolutionaries acting with concern and responsibility.

They explored every alternative. They weighed every risk. They measured every consequence.

They thought the problem through to its conclusion.

They took their stand.

And they acted upon that stand.

They made a forthright and assertive Declaration.

There was no mistaking their meaning. With directness and dedication, they confronted the problems of the subordination of proud and able men to a distant and unreasonable power. They met the overriding problem head-on. They were totally committed in mind, in heart, and in principle.

They were aware of the risks.

The dangers were clear.

But so was the challenge.

The hardship was great.

But so was the reward.

This is our heritage: commitment to the aspirations of mankind.

It is not trite to repeat these fundamental principles that all men are created equal, that all men are endowed with inalienable rights, that all men have a right to life and to liberty and to the pursuit of happiness.

Upon these truths we must base our course, as individuals and as a nation.

It is not an easy course today.

It will not be an easy course tomorrow.

It is never easy to stand for principle. But it is always worth the risk.

Today, as in the past, reality is rough-edged. It is abrasive, and the comers are sharp - and it is thorny to the touch.

The simpler thing is to avert one's eyes from it; to wish and even to pray that it will go away; to hope blindly that it is not there at all.

But that is not our heritage.

I urge you today to heed that heritage.

I urge you to identify the issues, to grapple with them, and to commit yourself to their solution.

The choices are clear : confrontation and commitment? Or indifference and indecision?

There are, then, things to be done by all of you. What you must do is do them. If you accept this challenge to be a private citizen with a public conscience, as Emerson said, above all be "Brave men who work while others sleep, Who dare while others shy . .. "Your reward will be the fulfillment of self and the greatness of your country.

President's Charge to the Class of 1966 Gentlemen of 1966. To each of you I extend sincere congratulations on the achievement your presence here represents. This day marks for you the successful conclusion of a significant period of your lives. It is the end of a beginning - a beginning that I trust has been a stirring experience in growth - growth in intellect, growth in resolve, growth in moral and physical sinew.

In your years under these towering¡ elms that shade you now, dedicated scholars have drawn deeply on their knowledge, their skills, their energies and their wisdom to serve you in the noblest calling known to man - that of teaching.

I need not remind you that teaching at Trinity encompasses vastly more than the accumulation of facts.

Your professors have not attempted to make you only repositories of information. The computer, that marvelous product of man's technological genius, will be available to you as a tool as you take up your life endeavors. But the computer, so intricate and so swift in the assembling of data, will remain always a machine, without spirit, without soul, without humor. The computer can provide the materials on which your decision may be based. But the computer can never make that decision for you. Only man, with mind and intellect responsive to his spirit, his resolution, his reasoning and his emotion, is equipped to guide the course of man. And when man so guides his course in the interest of his fellow man and in his own enlightened self-interest, he may be said to have acquired a measure of wisdom. But only then.

It is toward the ways of reason and wisdom that your teachers have attempted to direct you in your years on this campus.

More than has been true of any prior generation, you have come into a world in which the exercise of wisdom is fraught with profound difficulty. Never before have events moved with the bewildering speed we know today as instant communication brings the upheaval of half a world away to our living room. True indeed is the observation of the distinguished anthropologist, Dr. Margaret Mead, that "no man dies in the world in which he was born.''

Literally, the world you now confront is an explosive world.

There is the explosion of the military weapon, with repercussions felt on our doorsteps, on our college campuses, in virtually every walk of life. Leaders of our troubled nation grope for solutions they believe will serve the cause of freedom and justice. It is a time for debate and for honest dissent, ever basic in our Amer-

ican philosophy. And for the young man on the threshold of a career, it is indeed a time of trial.

There is the explosion of knowledge- in the sciences, the social sciences, the earth sciences; in the conquest of outer space, in man's knowledge of himself. It is an expansion almost frenetic, that makes our day the most dynamic mankind has known. To cite only one area of advance, that of the healing arts, it was stated recently by an authority on medical education that the achievements of the past three decades in medical research have been more important than the cumulative discoveries of all previous recorded history.

There is the population explosion, a grim illustration of which is provided by Professor Roger Revelle, who holds the Richard Saltonstall Chair of Population Policy at Harvard, and Director there of the Center for Population Studies. He points out that "Hundreds of thousands of years were required to produce by 1850 A.D. a living population of one billion people. The second billion took 75 years more, from 1850 to 1925, but only another 35 years, until 1960, were required for the third billion. The fourth billion will be here by 1980, and the fifth by 1990. Unless drastic changes in birth or death rates occur, the population increase between now and the year 2000 will be larger than the entire present population of the earth."

And there is the explosion, this one so long overdue in our land, in the recognition of every man's right to all the privileges and all the obligations of full membership in the community, regardless of race or color. A new ingredient, missing much longer than reasons of history and tradition can justify, is being introduced into the compound of the American formula.

But this explosion, clearly a beneficent, though belated, demonstration of the conscience of society, continues to be the cause of anachronistic controversy and strife in parts of our country and in some lands abroad.

My generation, which so signally has failed, calls upon you and your graduating colleagues across the land to help in turning the tide. Man's wisdom, man's ability to control hj.s own destiny, have not increased in a manner commensurate with man's talents in the acquisition of knowledge and in the application of his skills. Man reaches for the moon in his spacecraft while still unable to reach across the conference table for the hand clasp of understanding among nations and groups.

We honor this weekend members of the Trinity Class of 1916, celebrating their 50th anniversary. A halfcentury ago they joined an alumni body of 1,975 members. Today, that alumni roster is 12,996- men of science, education, commerce, the professions, church and public affairs, whose careers provide a striking evaluation of the Trinity experience. Froio this day on, yours is the responsibility to join them in the struggle against the forces of evil. Guard and cherish the values with which I trust Trinity has helped to endow you.

Doing so, each in your own way, you will play your part in the march of mankind toward what must be its ultimate goal of peace and understanding among all peoples.

May God bless each of you in this noble quest.

MEDUSA Of all undergraduate societies in Trinity, honorary or otherwise, the men of Medusa assume what are by far the most rigorous responsibilities. The College Handbook states that Medusa "has the function of upholding the traditions of the College as well as the discipline. To be tapped for Medusa is the greatest honor a Trinity undergraduate can attain."

In the latter area, that of discipline, there comes, fortunately infrequently, the moment when the collective opinion of Medusa .~aries in degree from that of established college administration. When that happens, patience, forbearance, understanding are called for on the part of both Medusa and college officials - and are invariably forthcoming.

The experience of many years indicates that the plan works':' It works because Medusa selections are almost always wise. The membership of the past year- George E. Andrews, David C. Charlesworth, Joseph A. Hourihan, Walter W. Siegel, Robert B. Stepto, John M. True and Anthony D. Whittemore- eminently proved the point.

The incoming Medusa members, tapped in colorful ceremony in the early-evening setting of the quadrangle, promise similarly high standards. No strangers to the Dean's List, active in campus affairs, leaders in athletics and in the classroom, they are in the Medusa tradition.

Here is the seven-man rosterfor 1966-67: John D. Craft, Perrysburg, Ohio; Steven V. Eliot, New York City; Edward B. Hutton, Duxbury, Mass.; Lynn M. Kirkby, Perrysburg, Ohio; Alexander H. Levi, Lutherville, Md.; John R. O'Neal, Naperville, Ill., and Morton E. Salomon, Jamaica, N.Y.

Class of 1916 When the Class of 1916 was graduated, it listed 60 members. Trinity had a facu1ty of 29 and student body of about 250. All but four of the surviving '16-ers came back to the campus in June for their golden anniversary.

In the Commencement Parade and in their Jarvis 7 headquarters they presented one of the weekend's highlights.

The 1916-ers, of course, were not the most venerable people around. Leading all the others in his honorable years was sprightly Victor Morgan, '99 B.S., '02 M.S., of Madison, Conn.

The five decades since they left the Long Walk have been no breeze, the 1916 men conceded. They have been turbu1ent, exciting, incredible, exhilarating and sometimes discouraging if one tries to make some sense of history's pattern. These men have been through two world wars, the Korean conflict, the Roaring Twenties, a major depression, and now the dismal VietNam muddle.

A song-and-dance man named George M. Cohan was writing "Goodbye Broadway, Hello France" before they had much more than settled into their new work after graduation. The flying machine was a new contraption.

Robert Morris remembers standing on the rocks across Summit Street to watch a single-motored biplane with no cockpit, but with pilot astride a bicycle seat, fly over on a student flight from Newington to the old ball park on Wethersfield Avenue.

"Now they are shooting pictures of the moon to choose spots where it will be nice to land," he said. The career records of the class in varied fields such as architecture, medicine, business and finance, law, government service, farming, the church, education and the arts provide substantial proof the 1916 men have not been idle bystanders in their half-century.

This was a many-sided clan in college, foreshadowing what would prove to be remarkable versatility in the years to follow. As seniors the class provided 10 of 14 letter men that gave Captain Fred Castator's '15 football forces it unbeaten records. Trinity defeated Amherst, Wesleyan .and Williams among others, and played a scoreless tie with the Brown University team that represented the East in the Rose Bowl at the season's end.

In other sports, in the musical clubs and college choir, in Medusa and the Senate, in Jesters, Tripod and the Debating Club, the class had leaders. Six won Phi Beta Kappa keys. The late Edward Abbe Niles was a Rhodes Scholar.

The Niles career illustrated well the many-sided quality of the class. He became a distinguished lawyer, member of the New York firm of Cadwalader, Wickersham and Taft. A tennis enthusiast in college, he continued his interest, both as competitor and official. He became an authority on jazz music and collaborated with W. C.

Handy, "Father of the Blues," in The Blues: An Anthology, published in 1926. It is a classic. He arranged the American publication of works of E. R. Eddison, thus "discovering" that writer for this country. People of many walks of life mourned when he died in 1963 while umpiring a tournament tennis match at Forest Hills.

Dr. Ernest Cau1field, now retired and living in Old Lyme, Connecticut, combined a love of history and proficiency in writing with his great abilities in medicine.

Alfred Harding has contributed much to the American theater as a writer, journalist and chiefly as a leading official of Actors Equity Association. The Rev. James F. English, holder of several academic degrees and an honorary D.D. from Trinity, is also credited with the unlikely distinction of having invented the "Red Tailed Green Dragon" wet fly. The Berkman Music Room in the Alfred C. Fuller Music Center of the University of Hartford will remind new generations of students there of the career of Samuel Berkman, Trinity '16, long dean and now dean emeritus in the Julius Hartt School of Music.

Three members of the class have served the college as trustees. One is Robert O'Connor who, as a distinguished architect, has left his mark on notable buildings from New York and Hartford to Tokyo, where he helped to build International Christian University. Another is Robert S. Morris, indefatigable alumnus, historian of Trinity athletics and public-spirited citizen, who divides his time almost equally between Trinity and his considerable investment business. A third is George M. Ferris, important Washington financier, founder of Trinity's George M. Ferris Lectureship and chairman of the steering committee for the new athletics center.

How has college life changed? Let Mr. Morris answer that. He sees more of the campus than most of his classmates.

"We worked hard, but I know most students work hard now," he said. "The records prove the excellence of today's undergraduate work. On the campus we had to entertain ourselves more than today's student. Radio and TV had not invaded our lives, nor had the automobile appreciably. Perhaps a break for us. We sang more. We sang at table. The cup for interfraternity singing competion was a big thing.

"Formal in those days meant white tie and tails, not tux. The proms were events of dignity. Students' mothers and faculty wives were patronesses. There was no stick in the punch. A smart guy put some rum in the punch one night. We tracked him down and made him regret it.

We danced the two-step, one-step, the waltz. Varsity training rules, enforced by fraternity brothers, were simple - no smoking, no drinking, early to bed and keep up in your studies.

"Perhaps our relationship with the faculty was closer than today. Our respect for facu1ty and discipline was more apparent, perhaps not more real. Maybe today's student is too sophisticated to show his true feelings.

But don't get the idea we were softies. Interclass strife was rougher than anything the boys know today. Perhaps it is just as well that the clashes, the warfare of Bloody Monday, and the St. Patrick's Day rush have disappeared with the sophistication of the new generations."

BOOKS

John F. Kennedy on Education

By William T. O'Hara '55 (Teachers College Press, Columbia University, New York) 1966. $2.95 paperback.

Reviewed by Thomas A. Smith '44 Assistant Dean of the University of Connecticut Law School, William O'Hara has long been a spokesman for education, as has his reviewer Thomas A. Smith, Associate Dean of Trinity College, who has served on the Board of Education in West Hartford for the past three years.

William O'Hara's John F. K ennedy on Education is a collection of excerpts from the late President's speeches, articles, and messages on the subject of education. It is a useful and important volume for anyone concerned wlth the development of the Kennedy career and political philosophy, and it provides a very valuable means of understanding the causes for the tremendous.increase in Federal activity in education and for the increase in Federal acceptance of responsibility in educational affairs in the United States.

In a helpful and well-informed introduction, Mr. O'Hara writes, "The late President felt compelled to play the role of educator to the American people."

The conviction with which he played that role and his many sound reasons for choosing it are well documented. As Congressman, as Senator, and as President, John Kennedy made it his business to discover what the basic needs and weaknesses of American education were. He had the breadth and imagination to understand how the improvement of education could affect the individual, the common good, and the national destiny. He had the skill necessary to devise and to stimulate effective legislation, and, finally, he was, in the face of difficult opposition, able to convince others that what he sought to achieve was urgently necessary.

Congressman John Brademas, Indiana, wrote the Foreword to John F. K ennedy on Education. His comments on Mr. O'Hara draw attention to the fact that he was Counsel to the special Subcommittee on Education of the House Education and Labor Committee during 1962 and 1963.

This experience not only qualified Mr. O'Hara especially well for the work of compiling and editing his book, but also lends real authority to the useful introduction and to the comments which precede each selection in it.

Mr. O'Hara has divided his book into four segments, the first three covering Kennedy's career in Congress and in the Senate (1947-1960), the Presidential Cam-

16

paign (1960), and the Presidential Years (1961-1963), the fourth on the Peace Corps. The special pleasure of reading through the excerpts in the first three sections is to trace the development of Kennedy's thoughts on the role of the Federal Gove=ent in education and to appreciate the immense knowledge of education which Kennedy acquired as his career unfolded and which he brought to the Presidency with him. By the time he had begun his Presidential campaign, Kennedy's program was well prepared, and he made education a major issue in the 1960 contest. In 1963, he presented to Congress one of the broadest and most ambitious educational programs ever conceived, an omnibus bill of six titles providing for the expansion of opportunities for individuals in higher education, for the expansion and improvement in higher education, for the improvement of educational quality, for strengthening elementary and secondary education, for the expansion and improvement of vocational and special education, and for the expansion of continuing education.

This program marked one of the high achievements in Kennedy's Presidency.

The ultimate acceptance of most of the programs by the Eighty-eighth Congress marked also the acceptance of a new concept of Federal responsibility for the quality of and opportunities for education in the Nation. As Mr. O'Hara tells us in his introduction, "It is impossible at this time to assess John F . Kennedy's total contribution to American education. It is safe to assume that the broad dimensions of his ideas will affect the role of the President of the United States as an educator. He placed a major emphasis on education and its improvement- a memorable legacy to this generation, and to all future generations."

Without doubt the major significance of Mr. O'Hara's work is the insight and knowledge it provides of the man and of the circumstances which led to a higher level of Federal activity in education, but at the same time it provides the reader with a full opportunity to read Kennedy's thoughts on a variety of subjects rela.ted to the development of his main concern.

A number of selections deal with the education of politicians and of citizens and with the very special need for diversity and quality of educational opportunities in a democratic state. Several deal with his reasons for opposing the National Defense Education Act provision for a loyalty oath. Each of these gives evidence of what Mr. O'Hara calls his "unique rapport with students and scholars."

"When communicating," Mr. O'Hara writes, "he did not limit the dialogue merely to education but covered every aspect of life in our times .. . he often indicated what ideas he wanted the students and teachers to consider, ponder, and act on." One cannot help but specu-

!att: that Kenne~y's influence directly and mdrrectly has g1ven to the academic community a much greater sense of its relevance and direction in an active and changing democratic state.

Kennedy's Peace Corps program, its effect upon developing our own youth and upon developing a new type of American leadership in the world, was also a most significant achievement, and the fourth section of John F. Kennedy on Education is devoted to it.

In Kennedy's statements on the need for such a program, one sees at its best the qualities of idealism and imagination which attracted so many American youths to the New Frontier, but, even more important, the Peace Corps experience, from its inception to the present, gives, as Kennedy had known it would, evidence of the willingness of the numbers of Americans, not only young men and women, to respond to the need for public service.

THE FACULTY WRITES The Trinity Tripod of May 17, 1966, published the following article by Donald G . Martin '68, which shows the wide range of publishing by members of Trinity's faculty.

In the Department of Religion, Dr. Albert Rabil Jr. has in proof stage "Merleau-Ponty: Existentialist of the Socialist World," a book centering on the works of this important figure and dealing with existentialism and phenomenology in postwar France.

Dr. F . Woodbridge Constant of the Department of Physics is revising a draft of a book directed at college-level students.

Dr. Albert J. Howard Jr. published six articles in 1965 dealing with research in nuclear physics. At a meeting of the Physical Society, Dr. Robert Lindsay reported on his work in the general area of magnetic properties of materials. He expects a paper to come out of his work in the near future. Dr. Charles Miller is planning to publish within the next year a paper on some theoretical calculations he is making on the modes of operation of lasars.

In the Philosophy Department, Dr. Richard T. Lee is working on a paper, "Whitehead and Ethical Cognitivism," which incorporates new material with some rewriting of his doctoral dissertation. From his study of ethical systems

and from his teaching of ethics, Dr. Blanchard W. Means has evolved a critical way of life which he is now writing in book form. Dr. Howard DeLong is working on a project in symbolic logic for use in his classroom and eventually for publication.

Associate Professor of Engineering Theodore R. Blakeslee Jr. is working on a textbook which will include elements of nomography, elementary numerical methods, presentation of numerical data and numerical results by curves and charts, and derivation of empirical equations.

The Department of Mathematics has several men working on books and articles: Dr. Don Mattson has a paper appearing in Journal de Math ematique: Dr. Stephen P. Hoffman Jr. has written a text entitled "Advanced Calculus" designed for use by college juniors; Associate Professor Robert C. Stewart is working on a course for mathematics which could be understood and enjoyed by students in the humanities; Dr. Mario J. Poliferno is working on a calculus textbook; Dr. Walter J. Klimczak is studying regions of absolute convergence in a complex plane of a series of characteristic functions of a second order differential operator.

Dr. Donald D . Hook of the Department of Modem Languages has completed three-quarters of a transformational grammar of German, which approaches the learning of the language through syntax.

Dr. Robert P. Waterman is translating a critical study by a French authority on a modern poet, Henri Michauz.

In the Department of Biology, Dr. J. Wendell Burger has three papers in press, two dealing with electrolyte equilibrium in sharks and the other with the liver function in sharks. Dr. Frank M. Child

ill has several manuscripts in progress,

most of which deal with studies in the development of cilia and flagella in protozoa. Dr. James M. Van Stone plans to continue his research on problems associated with the ability of animals to regenerate limbs. A paper by Dr. Donald B. Galbraith, ''The Agouti Pigment Pattern of the Mouse," appeared in the February 1964 issue of the Journal of Experimental Zoology. His next paper will deal with the relationship between gene activity and the influence of cellular environment upon genetic control of pigmentation.

Dr. Steven J. Cool of the Department of Psychology is reworking his doctoral dissertation, a beginning investigation into aspects of visual perception, for publication in a psychology journal.

A book by Assistant Professor of Government Albert L. Gastmann on the present political situation in Curacao and Dutch Guiana will be published in the fall of 1966 by the Caribbean Institute of the University of Puerto Rico. Assistant Professor of Government Clyde D. McKee published articles on municipalities in the Connecticut State Journal, April, 1966, and is working on the revision of his doctoral dissertation, which is a study of the relationship of the council-manager form of local government to national political parties.

Both Professor John C. E. Taylor and Associate Professor Mitchel N. Pappas of the Department of the Arts have work being exhibited at the New Britain Museum. The exhibition is being sponsored by the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts and the Connecticut Water Color Society.

In yet another medium, Dr. Clarence Watters, professor of music, recently gave recitals of work by Dupres in New York City.

On to Graduate Work Student evaluation of the courses they study and the teachers with whom they study has come to be an interesting undergraduate activity in liberal arts colleges.

Trinity students, indeed, were pioneers in the device in 1962, and they are doing it again, with a report being readied for next Fall. The effectiveness of the stunt, of course, depends on the manner in which it is regarded by the student, and his effort to keep it from becoming a popularity contest. Trinity's survey is being carried on with commendable seriousness and will be awaited with interest.

There is another kind of evaluation of courses and teachers. John Butler, '33, Trinity's director of Placement, is busy gathering the materials for it this summer, as he does every summer.

This evaluation consists of the records he gathers on fellowships awarded, graduate school acceptances, business opportunities accepted, reports of performances.

As this is written, the data are far from complete on the Class of '66.

The sample, however, is sufficient to indicate that in this year in which the education editors assert that graduate school admissions are considerably more difficult than in any previous year, Trinity '66 is

hitting the academic target.

Richard Carlson- Noble Leadership Fellowship Grant for four years in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University. Carlson is also engaged this summer in the Hartford Hospital Fellowship program.

CAMPUS

N0 T ES Three hundred community leaders paid tribute to Albert E. Holland '34 at a dinner June¡ 13 at the Hartford Hilton in Hartford. The testimonial honored Mr. Holland for his contributions to many civic and charitable causes. Chairman of the event was Mr. William P. Gwinn, president, United Aircraft Corporation.

James E. Bent '28 was toastmaster.

Speakers included Dr. Jacobs; Mr. Henry S. Beers '18, chairman, board of directors; Symphony Society of Greater Hartford; Mr. Richard B. Haskell, president, Greater Hartford Community Chest; and Mr. James C. Turner, executive director, Greater Hartford Community Chest.

Harry K. Knapp '50, assistant director of development since he joined the administration in January 1965, has been named associate director of that office.

A native of New York City, Mr. Knapp attended St. Paul's School before entering Trinity. He served the College as a class agent for five years and was a member of the alumni fund steering committee in 1962. In 1963-64 be was national chairman of the alumni fund.

Mr. Knapp was formerly an investment analyst for the /Etna Insurance Company and, before returning to Trinity, was associated with G. H. Walker & Company as a registered representative.

N. Robbins Winslow '57, former curate of St. John's Episcopal Church in Passaic, New Jersey, has been appointed assistant director of development.

A native of Akron, Ohio, Mr. Winslow was a history major at Trinity and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. After two years in the Army as a history and mathematics instructor at the Army Education Center, Fort Bragg, he attended Episcopal Theological School and received his S.B.T. degree in 1963.

Mr. Winslow will be primarily concerned with the preparation of proposals to government, foundations and individuals.

Douglas L. Frost, '59, associate director of development, has been named vice president for development at the Maryland Institute, College of Art, in Baltimore. His appointment is effective August 15.

At Trinity, Mr. Frost has conducted the annual fund drives which have received national recognition for outstanding performance by the American Alumni Council. He has been engaged in capital fund-raising campaigns and other phases of development work.

Active in community affairs, Mr. Frost worked with a committee of students, faculty and administration in 1962 to commute the death sentence of Benjamin Reid who had been convicted of firstdegree murder. He is vice president of Connecticut Half Way House, an institution that provides a transitional period for past offenders.

Mr. Frost has published poetry and is currently preparing a manuscript on artistic response to the Spanish Civil War. In addition to his Trinity B.A. degree, he holds a Master's degree from Yale and bas studied at Northwestern and the University of Hartford Art School.

Professor Alexander A. Mackimmie Jr., chairman of the education. department, was recipient of a citation at the annual meeting on June 15 of the Greater Hartford Chapter of the National Conference of Christians and Jews. In part, the citation read: "For outstanding contributions promoting the cause of good

will and understanding among all the people of our nation ... thereby fostering amity, justice and cooperation among Protestants, Catholics and Jews ... helping to eliminate intergroup prejudices ... bringing us nearer the goal of the Brotherhood of Man under the Fatherhood of God." Earlier in the month, Professor Mackimmie delivered the address at the induction ceremonies of new members of the National Honor Society chapter at the Windham High School, Willimantic, Connecticut, where he served as principal from 1948 to 1951. The chapter at the school is named in his honor.

Over ninety Episcopal faculty, administrators and clergymen attended the 17th Annual Conference in Theology for College and University Faculty conducted on the campus June 16-21. The conference was sponsored by the College and University Division of the National Executive Council of the Episcopal Church and the Commissions for College Work in the First, Second and Third Provinces. It is the thirteenth year that Trinity has hosted the conference.

On a bright and cheerful Sunday in late May, over 450 cars, with small triangular pennants fluttering from their antennas, overflowed the College parking facilities. Trinity was the first stop on a Mystery Tour of Connecticut, sponsored by the Hartford AAA, and nearly 2000 people, many visiting the campus for the first time, were escorted by student guides as they viewed the Chapel, the Long Walk, the Austin Arts Center and other points of interest.

Dr. Glenn Weaver, associate professor of history, received an award as "outstanding teacher in the field of American history in a Connecticut secondary school or college" from the Connecticut Chapter of the National Society, Daughters and Founders and Patriots of America, Inc. Baird Hastings, lecturer in music, conducted the Mozart Festival Orchestra in its seventh season at a concert at The Rockefeller University, New York.

Free public tours of the campus will again be conducted every Sunday during the summer. They will begin at the Chapel at 2, 3 and 4:00 P. M. Tour guides will be Edward J. Mullarkey '67 and Keith M. Miles '68.

A record number of graduate and undergraduate students enrolled the weekend of June 25 for the first of two fiveweek sessions of the Summer Term. Over 650 students registered for the first session and more than 425 are expected to enroll in the second session.

Approximately 140 of the students will be attending Trinity while still in high school as part of the Transition to College Plan, which has served as a model for similar programs at other colleges.

The college is offering 112 courses in the two sessions in both undergraduate and graduate fields. Twenty-eight of the 79 Summer Term faculty will be visiting from colleges across the country.

More than 350 registered for track and field events at the Diocesan Field Day and Acolytes' Festival held on the campus June 11. The Rt. Rev. John H. Esquirol, Suffragan Bishop of Connecticut was honorary chairman.

The faculty has approved an experimental ''pass-fail" system to be launched next fall for juniors and seniors who wish to elect courses outside their major fields.

At the end of the course, the student would be given either a "pass" or a "fail" instead of the usual letter grade. If the student passes, he will receive quantitative credit towards his Bachelor's degree.

The effect of the system will be to encourage students to attempt courses in areas other than their majors without being overly concerned about the consequences of possible low grades.

The program for the 36th Annual Trinity College-Greater Hartford High School Track and Field Meet was dedicated to Ray Oosting, professor emeritus of physical .education. A similar honor was bestowed upon Karl Kurth Jr., professor of physical education 1md director of athletics, with dedication of the program at the 45th Annual Eastern Intercollegiate College Athletic Association Track and Field Championships, marking his fourteen years as secretary of the association.

Friends of Dr. Louis H. Naylor, colleagues on the faculty, members of the administration and former students who traveled from as far away as Durham, North Carolina, crowded Hamlin Dining Hall on an evening in late June to pay tribute to the man who has served the College since 1923. He is retiring as professor emeritus.

Professor Gustave W. Andrian '40 acted as master of ceremonies. Dr. Jacobs, Seymour E. Smith '34, James D. Casson '64 and Dr. Andrian reminisced about the guest of honor and related, with nostalgia, the serious and humorous events that have been associated with him. As a memento of the occasion, Dr. Naylor was presented with a painting of the Chapel, the work of Professor Mitchel N. Pappas.

Varsity Baseball Squad

SPORTS SCENE Hustle and desire! Those are the two words that best describe what sparked the varsity baseball team to a winning 9-5 performance. Hustle and desire, plus. a pitcher named Brickley, plus an infield t~~t executed ~ts assignments with almost flawless preclSlon, plus h1ts when they were needed.

The pre-season prediction was not particul~ly promising and the 4-8-1 record of last year was still ~emem­ bered. With nine lettermen from the 1965 vars1ty and seven freshmen numeral winners forming the nucleus, Coach Dan Jessee viewed his thirtieth season as baseball mentor on The Hill with some well-founded skepticism.

It started off as a give-and-take season but, by early May, it seemed certain that a winning year was ~. t~e making. The team trounced Amherst 9-0 aft~r an Imtlal loss to Springfield, went two-for-two agamst Coast Guard, two-for-three against Wesleyan, the Little Three Champs, and registered other wins over Tufts, A.I.C., W.P.I. and M.I.T. In addition to the Springfield loss, decisions were dropped to Colby, Bowdoin and Williams.

Righthander pitcher Robert Brickley '67 compiled a 6-2 record finished the season with a creditable 1.83 ERA and ~as an effective hitter. In recognition of his overall performance, he was presented the Dan Webster Most Valuable Player Award.

Lefthander John Greaney '67 fashioned a 3-3 pitching record including a brilliant one-hitter against A.I.C. Infi~lder Michael Hickey '67 led in the batting department with a .362 average, which earned him the John Sweet Batting Award.

Although it is difficult to single out o~her perform~~s in a season that relied for its success on nme men playmg as a coordinated unit, special mention should be made of

20

the clutch-hitting of Robert Ochs '66 (.308 average) and the identical .286 hitting records of co-captains Joseph Hourihan '66 and Michael Moonves '66. The latter also took fielding honors with a .981 average and, on several occasions, received mention in the local press for his "scintillating" performance at shortstop.

* * *

Entering his fifteenth year as head track coach with a record of 56-35-3, Karl Kurth and his charges compiled another winning season in outdoor competition. The squad ran, jumped and hurdled to wins over Union, Vermont, Coast Guard, Amherst and W.P.I. and lost only to Middlebury.

Four new records were set during the regular season.

Donald Macinnes '67 set a new mark in the pole vault with the bar set at 12' 6% ".In the half-mile event, Theodore Zillmer '68 posted a 1:56.1. In the triple jump, a new record of 44' 5~" was accomplished by Pierre Schwarr '68. Jesse Brewer '67, named next year's captain, lowered his ewn mark of :55 in the 440-yard intermediate hurdles to :53.8.

The Bantams placed second out of thirteen teams to compete in the Eastern Intercollegiate Track Championships won by Central Connecticut who hosted the annual event. Brewer and Schwarr captured one and two gold medals, respectively.

Douglas Morrill '68, who participated in a number of events in dual events during the season, was awarded the RobertS. Morris Track Trophy.

from last year's squads, posted a 5-9 record, scoring wins over Nichols, W.P.I., Tufts, Holy Cross and M.I.T. Contests were dropped to Amherst, Union and Wesleyan.

Captain and goalie Kingdon Hurlock was recipient of the John Francis Boyer Lacrosse Award, given each year to the outstanding player. He was also one of forty-six players selected to participate in the annual North-South game in his hometown of Baltimore.

For some Trinity undergraduates, Spring Vacation meant Florida, Nassau, Bermuda, or a relaxing visit home.

For members of the crew, it was a different story. The first daily practice session started at seven a.m. sharp and the second, at four in the afternoon. At neither time was the sun any comfort against the brisk breeze that rufHed the icy waters of the Connecticut River, penetrated the sweat suits and nipped the ears.

But Trinity's oarsmen were determined. They now represent an official sport of the College after five years as a club activity. Art Gilcreast, Trinity's first official rowing coach, was equally determined.

The result of this determination on the part of all concerned was a successful season for the varsity, junior varsity and freshmen crews.

In the first meeting of the year, Trinity was host to Amherst and C. W. Post College. Amherst overcame an early Trinity lead and won the varsity race over the 2,000-meter course by two-thirds of a length. The Bantam crews captured both the jayvee and freshmen events.

Trinity varsity and jayvee crews finished one-two against A.I.C. on April 20. In a second race, the freshmen defeated Springfield Technical High School.

In the third annual Mason-Downs Cup Regatta on April 23, the Trinity varsity captured the cup race in rough water with a length victory over Marist and Wesleyan. St. John's finished fourth. The Trinity junior

varsity won their event and the frosh trailed the winner, Marist, by three-quarters of a length.

The following weekend at Poughkeepsie, Trinity became the first college in the history of the Marist College President's Cup Regatta to sweep victories in all three races. In the heavyweight contest, Trinity crossed the line two lengths ahead of Marist. St. John's finished third, followed by Iona. It was the third win for the jayvee boat in this event and the freshmen crew repeated last year's victory.

On May 7 the crews attended the Rusty Callow Regatta at Worcester. The junior varsity and freshmen, defending champions, won their respective races. The varsity shell trailed in fifth position behind Amherst, Wesleyan, U. Mass and Marist.

During the weekend of May 14, the crews participated in the Dad Vail Regatta, the small-college classic, in Philadelphia. The varsity qualified with the fastest time recorded by any of the 23 varsity eights, winning the opening heat over George Washington, LaSalle, Rollins, Wayne State and Marist. On the final day, Marietta scored a clean sweep. In the varsity final, Trinity finished fifth and, in the junior varsity event, the Trinity shell was third.

The oarsmen ended the season in a dual regatta with Northeastern on the Charles River in Boston on May 21.

Favored Northeastern captured the three events.

At the annual dinner of the Friends of Trinity Rowing, Jonathan Ocko '66, stroke of the junior varsity, was presented with the Torch Award, given annually to the crewman who has done the most to foster and perpetuate rowing at Trinity.

Richard Charney '66, as the most improved oarsman and iri recognition of his spirit of cooperation, was recipient of the Hartford Barge Club Rowing Trophy. John Ingram, outstanding member of the freshmen crew, received the David 0. Wicks Jr. Rowing Prize. * * * Under the watchful eye of Coach Roy Dath, the varsity tennis team rolled to seven straight with victories over Springfield, Rhode Island, W.P.I., Union, Holy Cross, M.I.T. and Wesleyan. In the season's final, Army handed the team its lone defeat. Sophomore James Behrend was winner of the Craig Most Improved Player Award. * * * The varsity golf team, coached for the first time by Robie Shults, recorded an 8-2 season and a tie for ninth in the New Englands at Portland. John Sjoholm '67, winner of the varsity golf-team tournament, received the Wyckoff Award and Richard Stultz '67, the Pappas Most Valuable Player Award. * * * During the academic year 1965-66, Trinity varsity athletes, participating in twelve sports, recorded the best win-loss performance in fifteen years. They competed in 118 contests, winning 80 and losing 3 8 for an average of 67.8%, two percentage points shy of the 1950-51 record. The freshmen did not fare as well, winning 41 contests and losing 49 for a 45.6% average.

"All in all it was a nice way to end my career at Trinity," said retiring director of athletics Ray Oosting.

Memorild Day and Commencement time bring thoughts of yesteryear. To most Trinity alumni, the members of the classes of the first decade of this century must seem to be denizens of distant days, yet they were the very much alive Trinity scholars and athletes of those years. When the Class of 1905 was in college, then with a student body of about 200, we had more than a nodding acquaintance with the classes of 1902, '03, '04, '06, '07 and '08. So the members of these classes and perhaps others, as well as the '05ers, would like to recall the following members of 1905 as seniors: Edwin Baker, Roger Blakeslee, Bill Bulkley, Harry Boyd, "Scrappy" Burrows, Carroll Campbell, Edmund Carr, Charles Clement, Eddie Duffee, Bob Ewing, Mal Farrow, Jim George, Charles Gostenhoffer, Jarvis Harriman, Carlos Jones, Phil Kennedy, Fred Meredith, Ham Pelton, Kinney Remsen, Charles Rhodes, Bill Roberts, Walter Sherwood, Bill Stedman and Pete Welles.

There were other "sometime' members whose names and faces may be recalled.

Today the ranks have thinned to sixBulkley, Campbell, Carr. Your Secretary, Harriman ¡and Stedman.

With 85% of our living members present, our 50th Reunion was a memorable event in our adult lives as Trinity alumni. It was a thrill to win the attendance plaque and the Board of Fellows bowl, but our cup ran over at the Reunion banquet when the keynote became "Ecce quam bonum quamque jucundum habitare fratres in unum." Your Secretary is still basking in the warmth of your kindness and generosity so evidenced by your much-appreciated gift.

It was significant that Cliff Perkins traveled from California to attend; Jack Townsend from Texas; Hoppie Spofford from Florida; and Charlie Plummer from the Midwest. For Tiny Elder, Warren Hale and Rod Pierce it was their first Class Reunion.

Dean Bob Vogel's address was most informative and timely.

Your Secretary apologizes for a lapse which left unread letters of appreciation from several recipients of our Memorial Scholarships.

Now let's begin to plan for our 75th.

The Reunion number of The Bulletin delved so deeply into your lives that there is little current news to relate. However, Sam Berkman was signally honored in May by the alumni, trustees and faculty of Hartt College of Music, University of Hartford. Not only was the annual Alumni Concert dedicated to him for his 45 years of service to the college, but he was also the recipient of the Alumnus of the Year citation. In September he will assume a new role of dean emeritus in residence.

In May, the Southbury (Conn.) Training School dedicated a building to trustee Bob Morris.

Warren "Weary" Creamer retired June 30 after 44 years with the Connecticut State Highway Department. He was in charge of the country's first superhighway -the Merrit Parkway- which he still considers the most beautiful in the world. He also was in charge of some of the building of the Connecticut Turnpike.

Over the years he has held positions as highway designer, director of engineering and construction, principal technical highway engineer, and chief engineer (from 1951 to 1959). He retired as director of staff services for the department. He has won many honors and awards and is

also the author of a book of poetry, A Roadmender's Rhymes, published some years ago.

We wish you, Weary, a long and happy retirement.

Dr. Nicholas Butler writes: "In 1957, I retired after practicing Radiology in Hartford for 30 years. I was on the staffs of St. Francis Hospital, Bristol Hospital and the Institute of Living.

A thousand thanks to our efficient reunion committee that put on a wonderful 40th, June 3 and 4. This same "team" has been unanimously reelected into office.

They are: Reunion Chairman Ken Stuer; Class Committeemen, Joe Hubbard and Dick Ford; Class Agent, Norm Pitcher; Class Treasurer, Harold Messer; and Class Secretary, Your Faithful Servant.

We are most grateful to Joe Hubbard for the fine pre-reunion letters. They must have taken a tremendous time to prepare, but they were most welcome.

We all had a wonderful time. "Seven Trins" for the fine team of Bill and Dollie Walsh ail the way from Mexico; ,Jimmy and Betty Burr from Grand Rapids, Mich.; Dave and Olga Loeffler from Cleveland; Frank Pryor, all the way from San Diego; Marty Coletta and his new bride who flew from Forida for the occasion.

We were glad to have Professor Ray Oosting and his wife, Betty, with us for the Class Dinner at the Hartford Golf Club, and we are delighted Ray is now an honorary member of 2T6.

Everyone agreed it was a most successful gathering and we look forward to 1971. May those who were unable to return last June be able to be with us then.

The Rev. Charlie Whiston, Professor of Theology at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific, conducted a retreat June 24-26 at Adelynrood, South Byfield, Mass. We missed you, Charlie, at our 40th. We were also sorry that Paul and Miriam Parsons were unable to come to Reunion, and we hope he makes a rapid recovery from his heart condition.

Your Secretary's fourth annual attempt at Class doggerel which appeared in the spring issue of Alumni Mag created a ripple which came ashore in Fullerton, Calif., resulting in a most interesting letter, with enclosures, from Mark Kerridge. The retired Navy captain received considerable publicity by donating his 1,000 book coiiection on fresh water angling to California State Coilege at Fullerton. Mark reveals that summer plans .call for fishing expeditions to Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Utah, ending up in September in Oregon for steelhead. Happy landings, Mark, let us know how you make out. With his assurance that he plans to be at Coli Trin Sane next June for our 40th, it should be

hard for others living much nearer to find a plausible excuse for not being on hand to enjoy the 1927 festivities that Andy Forrester is planning.

Missed Commencement last June at Trin but had the pleasure of seeing my daughter get her BA degree cum laude in psychology in torrid Maine 94-degree weather.

Ail classmates should steel themselves for the receipt of letters from Chairman Andy relating to Reunion next June. You can depend on him to have things weii in hand. Can he depend upon you?

The 35th Reunion has come and gone, leaving us with warm memories of old ties renewed. The highlight was the Saturday evening buffet at the Jacobson's in Manchester, after which hospitable treatment there was spirited reminiscing, harmonious and spontaneous singing, and fairly sedate story-telling. The goodnight handshaking was warm and sincere.

About twenty percent of our class (if we count seven wives as members!) came to our festivities. Among those gathering at HQ in Jarvis 14 or later at the buffet, were Charlie and Dorothy Jacobson, Lew and Kay Giffin, Dent Hall, Tom

At Commencement: Mrs. John Mason, Sandy Mason '66 and John Mason '34

Hughes (whose son is Trin '68), George and Miriam Mackie, Harvey Mathiasen, Cliff and Arline Morse, Sheldon Roots (who flew in from¡ Mackinac Island, Mich.), Jim and Dorothy Tobin, Paul and Ruth Twaddle, Bob and Marjorie Waterman and Herb Wilkinson.

Additions to the "grandfather" department: Lew Giffin now has three grandchildren; Harvey Dann is a prospective member (his daughter was married May 21st!).

Ezra Diman, in addition to revealing he is a "grandfather," sent a long letter of regrets at his reunion absence, explaining that he was going to be crossing the Pacific on a freighter, from Manila to San Francisco, on his way to a year's study in England. Before he left Manila, Ezra reports, the water shortage was so severe that he was reduced to bathing in a bucket. After ten air crossings of the Pacific he looked forward to that "slow boat" from China (Hongkong).

Public and academic recognition division: Laurie Scaife, long the bishop of Western New York, was given the Distinguished Citizen's Achievement Award

by Canisius College on April 18; he was cited for his interest in fostering relations between the Anglican, Orthodox, Eastern and Old Catholic Churches. Also, at Kenyon College's Commencement on May 30, Laurie was granted an honorary D.C.L degree for his leadership in "civic, education, church and ecumenical affairs." He adds this honor to degrees granted him by King's College in Halifax and the Russian Theological Seminary in Paris.

Charlie Jacobson has had a busy spring.

In May he was awarded the "Mr. Success" citation by Hartford's Radio Station WCCC for service to his profession; his being president of the Hartford County Medical Association may help to explain this. He has also been chairman of die 1966 Trinity College Reunion Committee, as we know, and chairman of the weekend's seminar on "Man, Past and Present," as well as 1931's reunion leader.

Our collective and individual gratitude go to him.

Dr. and Mrs. Blanchard Means; Dr. Louis Naylor; Professor and Mrs. Ray Oosting; Professor and Mrs. Sterling Smith; Professor Odell Shepard and his son, Willard; and Professor and Mrs. Clarence Watters.

Dr. Shepard gave the main speech and likened Bert to an arrow being shot across the Hudson. In reply, Bert pointed out that he was too plump to be an arrow and also noted that it took him a long time to receive his Bachelor's degree.

The Class presented Bert with a silver tray with 54 signatures enscribed on it.

All of '34 wish Bert and Mary all the best as they take up their new duties at Hobart this July. We salute them for a job well done, and know that bright days lie ahead for Hobart.

Shed McCook reports that he and helpmate Anne spent an enjoyable two weeks stay in Bermuda. Shed visited the Terry McBray's and found Terry in fine fettle. Terry is enjoying improved health and, of course, sends his best to his '35 classmates.

Howard Trask has a change of address from Hays, Kan., to Beatrice, Neb. All I know is that's a town not a woman.

Tom Hagarty was spotted in the cafeteria of the Hartford Federal Building with his nose in a law brief preparatory to a conference with a Federal judge. Talk about your ivory towers.

Because Your Secretary's one ond only heiress was in the commencement activities at MacDuffie School, yours truly was forced to curtail his annual attendance at Trinity. Unfortunately, even a call to old reliable ODie (Brunch) Johnson did not bring a spate of news re returning '35ers.

However, Ollie has a message for the class sentimentalists who fondly remember the Hotel Heublein Rathskeller (no, not rat celler). The Heublein is now only a memory- ground down by the crunching clamshells of progress. Ollie has preserved for posterity (and future reunions) the hotel sign and the wooden carvings in the tap room. Memorabilia or dusty debris, it all depends on your memories.

Ollie has been elected president of the Printing Industry Association of Conn. and Western Mass.

Trinity bound is Denny Farnell's boy, Alan, who is reported to be a good football player and a scholar. Your Secretary's daughter is going to Briarcliff College which, it is rumored, has social ties with Trinity.

Congratulations to Dr. Jim Hanaghan on his April 11 marriage to the former Marion Brazel. Jim and Marion are living at 24 Northfield Rd., West Hartford, along with their three dogs. Jim states emphatically that 24 Northfield is not a kennel.

Last (and I guess not least) Your Secretary will rieed more help in the future. At long last, I am accepting a promotion which will require a move to North Andover, Mass. As Chief Classification at the Internal Revenue Service Center I will be in charge of manpower utilization.

Your help is needed in getting information about YOU and your family. I would appreciate very much getting bits of news from and about '35ers as we hurtle through this space age.

Robert M. Christensen 66 Centerwood Rd. Newington, Conn. 06111

With our 30th Reunion a thing of the past, we can pass along to others some of the information gleaned from it.

There were 25 at the class dinner at the City Club of Hartford, but only 15 alumni. It was nice to have the female complement and Dr. Louis Naylor wa¡s a delight to the group both in his short talk of old and new Trin and in his spirited and amiable conversation with all; but it would have been nice to have seen some more alumni, especially those located in and around Hartford.

The nominating committee thought

At Reunion: Vic Bonander '36, Mrs . Bonander, Robert Christensen '36 and Mrs. Christensen Stew Ogilvy's work for the class over the years should be recognized and, as a result, Stew was elected president of the class succeeding John Geare who has always been president previously and bas conscientiously performed his duties as such. Other officers are Bob Christensen, secretary; Vic Bonander, treasurer; and executive committee members AI Dexter, Brooks Roberts and Herb More. No change was made with respect to the Class Agent, who is Steve Jennings.

Bert Scull sent his regrets. We've learned that Bert was on the panel of the Central Sale-Management Seminar of the National Association of Music Merchants held at the Sheraton-O'Hare in Des Plaines in April.

Herb More, who attended Reunion with his wife, Genevieve, is now vice president of Kliegl Bros. and is directly and primarily concerned with the lighting for color TV broadcasting.

Don Burke has written of a harrowing experience to his family when a cogwheel train on which they were riding in the Italian Alps jumped the track resulting in four deaths and many injuries. The Burkes suffered variously: Don lost parts of two fingers and had gashes on head and legs, wife Helena suffered a back injury, and son Patrick, a severe head injury.

Don says there are residuals, including lack of feeling in his surgically corrected fingers and back troubles for Helena, but they are getting along. They hope London will be their permanent home - newest address 19 Wynnstay Gardens, Allen St., London W.8- and that a new business venture wiii afford more stability than the previous roving magazine assignments.

Kapp Clark had to skip the Reunion at the last minute due to a business trip to London.

Bob McKee sent best wishes to the Reunion from Los Angeles where he resides with wife and two teen-age daughters. Bob recently attended an alumni gathering at the International Airport Hotel there. Dr. Jacobs was present.

Syd Grant, Archbishop of Missions, Diocese of Newark, also sent best wishes to the Reunion. Syd couldn't make it but reports much personal Trinity activity.

Syd is an alumni interviewer and has a son Charles of Trinity '64, whose marriage he performed a year ago. Another son is in his third year of college. Both are in or aiming for the teaching profession. Syd, himself, has been the representative of his Diocese to the Department of Research and Development

of the New Jersey Council of Churches and also a consultant in Christian Urban Renewal. It's good to know that such a solid, sensible and broadminded fellow as Syd bas an opportunity to exert his influence in such a controversial area.

Mike has served for four years on the Wethersfield Zoning Board of Appeals and is currently president of the Hartford Chapter of Connecticut Credit Union League. However, with his three boys now growing up, Mike found it possible to relax from Little League duties this past spring.

Joe Greco's oldest boy, Barry, was graduated from Trinity this past June. He also received his commission from the ROTC and will be joining the Air Force soon- a "chip off the old block." Joe's daughter, Susan, will be a junior at St. Joseph College this fall.

Ray Patton's daughter, Lyn, who will be a senior this fall at the Oxford School for Girls, had a most enjoyable trip to Spain this past spring.

Jim Broughel, who is lawsuit supervisor at the Hartford Insurance Group, reports almost a complete lack of political activity the past few years. Jim's oldest daughter, Brenda, a teacher in Simsbury, is being married in August. A second daughter, Sheila, will enter her junior year at Vassar this fall, while another daughter, Andrea, will enter the Hartford College for Women as a freshman. Jim reports that his son, a freshman at Loomis, is studying certain elements of math equivalent to the theoretical math taken during the sophomore year at Trinity, those many years ago.

Bill Hull's son, Larry, received a Master's degree in physics this past June from Northeastern and will be employed at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.

Rumors have it that Jim Egan, who reneged completely at wearing a toga at our 25th Reunion, has now promised to "show" at the 30th regardless of the costume. Enthusiasm certainly is running high as '37 approaches the 30th. Committees will be formed soon to plan the reunion festivities.

Frank A. Kelly Jr. 21 Forest Dr. Newington, Conn. 06111

The 25th Reunion drew a large turnout.

At one point or another in the proceedings, the following classmates made an appearance (most of them with their wives): Ken Adams, Dick Blaisdell, Moe Borstein, Bob Broatch, Louis Buck, Jim Caffrey, Pete Callaghan, John Carpenter, Joe Clapis, John Clarke, Frank Clow, Ed Conway, Jack Crockett, Don Day, Roy Gilley, Gene Hungerford, Ed Hurwitz, Dick Insley, Alden Johnson, Frank Kelly, Ken Kelly, Ted Knurek, Doc Lane, Joe Lavieri, Tom Malley, Irwin Mancall, George Merwin, Frank Mulcahy, Dick Nolf, Bill Oliver, Culley Roberts, Joe Russo, Bill Seedman, Phil Sehl, Lew Sheen, the two Ed Smiths, Phil Smith, Jim Spencer, Ray Thomsen, Red Tyler, Don Walsh and Bill Wiley. The occasion was a huge success, thanks mainly to Chairman Lou Buck and his co-workers: Ray Thomsen, Ed Smith and Don Day. Special tribute should be paid Joan Thomsen who served as treasurer pro tem and is undoubtedly a strong factor in her husband's recognized high standing in the reunion field.

On Friday evening, before and long after the buffet supper at the Field House, there was a get-together at Jarvis 28.

What with gooq liquor and good fellowship we enjoyed a very pleasant evening.

In the mild June night the Long Walk, festively decorated with colored lights, didn't seem to have changed much over the years. Neither did the Class of '41.

The next morning the Hartford Courant, in what could only be regarded as a gratuitous slur, mentioned "portly men in white skimmers saying: '1941.'" I don't know who they were talking about. As far as the rest of us could see the white skimmers were worn by a youthful looking group of lads to whom maturity had only lent a touch of distinction.

On Saturday morning our class was undoubtedly outstanding in the alumni parade to the Field House, thanks to Ed Smith who drew on his collection of antique automobiles for the occasion. As the result of the combined efforts of the Smith family the cars gleamed in the sunshine and their -engines purred like kittens as they made the trip to the Field House without a single fatality. There's no doubt that Ralph Nader is right-they don't make automobiles the way they used to.

At the Saturday luncheon the class gained one award when Bill Oliver of Buenos Aires got the prize given to the alumnus coming the longest distance, and we shared some reflected glory when Vic Morgan, '99, an adopted son of 1941 for the week-end, was proclaimed the oldest alumnus present.

In the evening there was a cocktail party given by Irwin Mancall, whose generosity was toasted by his grateful classmates. It was followed by a dinner dance in Hamlin Dining Hall. To say grace we engaged the professional services of Archdeacon Lew Sheen, the Class's ranking clergyman. The roast beef dinner which followed was excellent.

Evidently the Hamlin cuisine has picked up considerably since our student days.

The music for the dancing which followed was provided by a really swinging combo which had been discovered by Don Day. Their efforts were supplemented on occasion by Dick Insley who displayed a good deal of talent as a vocalist and by· a close harmony group composed of Dick Barnes, Gene Hungerford, Lew Sheen and Dick Blaisdell, reinforced at strategic intervals by Dick Insley, Bob Broatch, Ray Thomsen, Joe Clapis and Roy Gilley. In any comment on the dancing John Carpenter should be singled out for special mention. Carp arrived on crutches, due to some difficulty with an Achilles' tendon. But he was an inspiration to his classmates as he hopped through a dance on one leg.

All in all it was a fine weekend, and it seems too bad that we have to wait five years for another like it.

Phil Sehl, a former Mayor of Wethersfield, was presented the "Man of the Year" award of the Wethersfield Business Men's and Civic Association at their annual on May 20.

Ken Adams is president of the Choral Club of Hartford which is now celebrating its 60th season. He invites all alumni who are interested in choral work and would like to join the Club to get in touch with him at his home at 205 Broad Street, Wethersfield. His telephone number is 529-2270.

Elected on the fifth ballot the Rev. Mr. Hall was a surprise choice as he is not known within the state, and on his own admission knows only half a dozen rectors in that diocese.

Assuming he will receive the necessary consents from the other Episcopal bishops in the United States, the Rev. Mr. Hall will assist the present bishop, the Rt. Rev. Robert F. Gibson '28, and will automatically succeed him.

The Rev. Mr. Hall prepared for Trinity at Shady Side Academy, Pittsburgh, Pa. At Trinity he majored in history and was a member of Pi Gamma Mu. He was elected president of the Seabury Society and the Political Science Club and also served in the College Senate. He is a member of Delta Phi fraternity.

After serving in the U.S. Army from 1943 to 1946, he enrolled at the Episcopal Theological School and received the B.D. in 1949. For the next nine years he was associated with Trinity Church, Huntington, W. Va., serving as assistant rector, ·associate rector and rector. In 1958 he was called to St. Chrysostom's in Chicago as rector.

The Rev. Mr. Hall has been chairman of the Examining Chaplains Committee in West Virginia as well as a member of the Standing Committee and a Deputy to the 1955 General Convention of the Episcopal Church. He is a Fellow of the College of Preachers, Washington, D.C.; a Watson Fellow, Bexley Hall, Kenyon College; and a director of the Episcopal Charities Foundation in Chicago. This spring he received an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Seabury Western Seminary of Evanston, lll. He is a director of Scholarships for lllinois Residents.

Our Twentieth Reunion, jointly cele· brated with the Classes of 1945 and 1947, was a huge success with lots of spirit generated throughout the weekend. Among those present from '46 were Cliff Botway, Paul Deutsch, John Ferrante, Dr. Bill Hart, Sig Kaufmann, Dick KeUy, Leo Rosen, Rev. Bill StudweU, Bill Weaver and Your Secretary, all except one accompanied by their better halves.

Fifty-six people attended our Class Dinner on Saturday evening at which Professor Jim Notopoulos was our honored guest and speaker. Nostalgia filled the room as he recalled some of the great faculty names of our undergraduate days.

We were then given some insight into campus life today among the faculty and students. Dr. Jacobs provided a pleasant surprise when he dropped by to give greetings from the College.

A quick poll of those present indicated 100% support of future joint reunions with our friends from '45 and '47. Even the Class of '44 has expressed some interest in joining us when we next meet five years hence.

We learn of the marriage of Dr. Louis Feldman and his resultant change of address to 230 W. 108th St. in New York City. Louis continues as professor of classics at Yeshiva University and also as a prolific author .and lecturer.

The combined Twentieth Reunion with the Classes of 1945, 1946 and 1947 was a success.

The total turnout of the loyal alumni of these three classes totaled 29 in all.

This may not seem like an overwhelming number, but I can attest to the fact that this was far greater than we had previously experienced. We participated in the Friday night activities, the Saturday parade, the alumni luncheon and the class dinner.

Friday evening the new official reunion beret with a triangular patch containing the numerals for the three classes was displayed for the first time. They were well received and added a touch of unity to the proceedings.

Saturday night we were very fortunate to have Professor James Notopoulos as our guest speaker. He delivered a very entertaining and enjoyable talk.

The committee for the Reunion was ably headed by Chuck Hazen '46. Drew Milligan represented 1945 very enthusiastically and also obtained the facilities of the City Club for our dinner. Dick Kelly '46 was in charge of the on-campus activity room and liquid refreshments for Friday evening. Leo Rosen '46 supplied us with colorful signs for the parade.

Your Secretary collected the money for the functions. When Professor Notopoulos heard of my duties he commented that there is an old Greek proverb, "When a hand is stuck into the honey jar, it is difficut not to have some of it stick when the hand is removed." With that in mind, I will have to have a fairly careful audit carried out.

Those attending the reunion activities from our class are as follows: John Daly, Robert Jennings, Paul Gates, Victor Polce, Paul Kingston, Melvin Rosen, Franklin Eichacker, George Wicks, and William Thomsen.

All who attended the reunion had a wonderful time. Those who did not were dearly missed.

Now a word from Your Secretary. As you can see, it's easy enough to keep up with address changes. If it were possible to think of a few more ways to say the same thing, I would include even more, the guys who simply move down the block or across town. Still, no matter how facile I might be at writing about addresses, it's pretty empty stuff. What the other fellows want to know is what you're doing. We'll soon be in the 25th reunion category. Lets hear something about the eighteen years already past.

Send me the "stuff'' and I'll see that it gets into our Class Notes.

We pass along the following poem entitled "Temerence" by John Fandel: I traced in the stone a vein, A river in the rain, A forest in grain.

For those of you who missed our lOth Reunion, I will try to give a brief recap of quite a weekend. Some of the events I have been forbidden to publish in this august magazine and other events remain some~hat hazy after a long Friday night reunion party. In all seriousness, those of us who did return had a great weekend and only wish that more of you had returned. On Friday night most of us went to the Field House for the clambake and then returned to Jarvis 39 to continue the evening's activities. Some had such an excellent time that night that they were no~. seen for the remainder of the weekend. Those who survived scored another outstanding success by soundly defeating the "young punks" of the Class of 1961 in softball. The stars of the game, far too numerous to mention in this limited space, deserve the "deep appreciation" of all those who were physically unable to play -either through their duties as guards and samplers of the beer keg or those who could not make it back to Trinity.

We should, however, mention our brilliant coach, Jerry Pauley, a left-handed third baseman named Ken Swanson, and some "Windy" batter who shut his eyes and was credited with a home run which was scored as a balk and three errors which won the game. Ron Warren will claim for the next five years that he is still the homerun king of the Class of 1956. For those of you who missed the Reunion, but can return for our 15th, I am sure that Ron's memory of his exploits on Saturday will have lost nothing. Saturday night we had 28 classmates and 25 wives at our dinner. We were also very pleased to have Mitch and Billie Pappas, Frank and Mary Marchese and Don and Joan Miller from the faculty present. Late Saturday night we were in unanimous agreement that our lOth Reunion had been a great time, and we only hope that more of you will make the effort to return for our 15th.

The following people attended reunion: Don McAllister- a dentist in Bristol Conn.; Dick Jewett- vice president and sales manager of Hyper Humus Co. in Newton, N.J.; Art Jarvis- was working as associate administrator of the Morrisania Hospital in New York City and is now director of Medicare and Hospital Licensure for the State of Connecticut.

Dave Ginns writes that he is now in the Army at Reynolds Army Hospital, Ft. Sill, Okla. Previously he had been practicing internal medicine and cardiology in Long Beach, Calif. He is married and has two little girls. Because of his Army commitment, he could not make Reunion but hopes to be back for our 15th.

Larry Smith attended Clark University where he received his M.A. (1958) and Ph.D. (1963). After serving in the AF, he is now in private practice in clinical psychology in San Antonio, Tex., working primarily with children. He is a consultant to the Protestant Children's Home and runs a clinic for students at Our Lady of the Lake College. In November, 1965, he was elected to the Texas Board of Psychological Examiners. During Larry's stay in the AF, he was responsible for screening and selection of the 1963 group of astronauts. David Scott was one of the first of that group to go into space. Larry is married and has six girls and one boy.

Still Running ...

For an estimated 99.9% of the alumni, sprinting for the 7:28 is just about enough track workout.

Not so for Robert G. Scharf '58, a construction cost accountant and resident of Chevy Chase, Md. Bob, a member of the Baltimore Olympic Club, is the ranking American marathon runner and jogs up to 170 miles a week to keep in trim. His trophy case is proof that the rigorous routine has had its rewards.

During the past year he ... finished seventh in the National AA U six-mile event at San Diego ... broke the National AAU 10,000-meter record ... set a new National AAU record for a two-hour run on a ~-mile track, covering 22* miles, 191 yards and broke the 20-mile American mark by eight minutes . .. won the Cherry Tree Marathon in New York City, defeating eight-time U.S. Marathon Champion, John Kelley ... and, in the same week (a record in itself), won the D.C. Marathon in Washington ... finished eighth in the famed Boston Marathon ... was second in the National AAU Marathon in Yonkers ... and he is still running!

During his undergraduate days, Bob was captain of cross country, and, as a member of the track team, set new marks in both the one-mile and two-mile events his senior year.

Frank, how did the primary come out??

Some recent specialized training at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, prepared Arky for his new job piloting the Air Force's latest model jet transport, the C-141 Starlifter.

And here is an interesting story about our distance runner, Bob Scharf, which appeared in the Washington Post but made it all the way to the New Yorker: "To keep in competitive trim, marathon runner Scharf runs up to 170 hours a week on the streets, in parks, on high school fields, anywhere and everywhere, morning, noon and night." Sounds like a mighty full week, Bob! Frank Thorpe is now with the Northwestern National Bank of Minneapolis as an assistant trust officer. He is on the lookout for Trio alumni in Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Iowa and Wisconsin. Members of the Class of 58, where are you?

Speaking of pacing, Howie Mayo is traveling regularly from Washington, D.C., to the West Coast and back again in his capacity as a lawyer for the Federal Maritime Commission. Should you be on Cape Cod this summer, be sure to stop by Mayo's Duck Farm in East Orleans. It's a place you shouldn't miss and won't forget.

Lloyd McC. Costley 219 Third NE Washington, D.C. 20002

The 1960 Advisor Program is near completion. The diamond has been cut; alia jacta est. I received 100 cards from the Class, over one-third chose to participate - an outstanding show of hands, I would say. I should have it organized in the proper form, so that I can drop it off at the College, enroute to a Boston wedding in late August. In any event, you should receive some young Trinmen over Thanksgiving and Christmas recess. Thank you for your help; I think this will be an enjoyable experience.

Del A. Shilkret Trinity College, Hartford, Conn. 06106

The fifth reunion held over Commencement weekend was a great success. Approximately 40 members of the class put

in an appearance at one or more of the events. Many thanks should be extended to Chairman George Lynch and his committee of Bob Bell, Bruce Coleman, Chris Gilson, Alex Guild, Spike Gummere and George Pare.

Saturday evening cocktails were served in the lounge of Jones Hall (New Dorm to most of us) which prompted one member of the class to comment, "Well we finally found a use for this place." After dinner in Mather Hall (the Student Center), the results of the elections for Class Representative to the Alumni Council, Class Chairman and Class Secretary were announced. The results were: George Lynch- Alumni Council, Roger MacMil¡ Ian - Class Chairman, and Del Shilkret, - Class Secretary. The latter will manage Mather Hall 'Neath the Elms as of July.

The lounge of Jones Hall was active until the early hours of the morning.

George Tattersfield told stories about the rug business; Tony Sanders told anyone who would listen how to play shortstop in softball; and Cliff Bernstein and Bill Scully just told stories.

The only disappointing news of the weekend was the softball game with the Class of 1956. Despite slick play in the field, the 1961 contingent led by Chris Gilson, Tom Reese, Frank Gulotta, Gordon Ramsey, .Joe Colen, -et al could not stop a bottom of the ninth home run over Vinnie Stempien's outstretched glove to break an 11-all tie. .Jack Angel, Mac Weiner, Mike Kauff, Dale Peatman, Warren Simmons, Bob McCammon and Bill Sullivan led the cheering section.

W. James Tozer Jr. Apt. 4N, 516 East 78th St. New York, N .Y. 10021

This season's crop of new graduates includes Hunter Marvel who received his M.B.A. from Columbia and has taken an esoteric position in the market research group at Fortune here in New York. Pete Densen and his Harvard M.B.A. are also here in New York where they have joined the newly-formed management consulting staff of Lybrand, Ross Brothers and Montgomery. He reports that his area of responsibility will be financial and that he will be on the road some 30% of the time. Dan Moore, also sporting a new Harvard M.B .A., is going with Standard Oil of Ohio as the junior man on their six-man mergers and acquisitions group.

Naturally, he and Marge will be living just outside of Cleveland. Congratulations, Dan! As one who seriously considered the petroleum, I can vouch for the real honor and opportunity embodied in this new job.

Don Hersey, who has been teaching English at Wethersfield High School at the same time that he has been working toward a Master's degree in education at the University of Hartford, has finally qualified for the latter degree and has celebrated by buying a house in South Windsor for his growing family.

Our seminarians are beginning to reach the stage where they are now going forth into the world. Ken Aldrich has been ordained and is now the curate at Holy Trinity Church in Collingswood, N.J. Chad Minifie was graduated from Episcopal Theological Seminary and will be associated with St. Thomas Church here in New York. He has recently been honored by second place and commensurately rewarded by a $150 prize in an essay contest sponsored by the Evangelical Education Society. Dick Chang, who was recently ordained out in California, was back at the College for Reunion. He claimed it was on his way to a conference in Canada which he will be attending before returning to be a curate in an Episcopal church in Hawaii. Two other reunion weekend returnees from California were Kevin Gebhard and Stan Hoerr.

Stan, who is between semesters at Seminary, is going to be in Cleveland for the summer where he will run a day camp.

Stan is also deeply involved in editing a new Seminarian Journal, which has been a minor success. Speaking of success, Fred Neulander has been elected president of the student body at Hebrew Union Seminary. In addition, he has taken on the responsibilties of full-time rabbi at Temple Beth Am in York Town Heights in Westchester, although he still has a year of Seminary to go.

38

This should be the year that we start cranking out lawyers, but to date they have been very lax in informing me of their plans. Tony Rodgers and Vic Keen apparently made the grade at H.L.S. Like a good Harvard man, Vic is wending his way toward Washington where he hopes to land a tax-type job. Apparently the credit restraint program torpedoed his European plans. Tim Lenicheck was graduated from the University of Wisconsin and has gravitated back to Milwaukee where he will be doing estate planning for Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance. Tim, don't forget to funnel a few estates to Trinity.

It seems as if our classmates are returning to school as rapidly as they leave.

Ted Scull is leaving Holland American Lines to study African Affairs at Columbia University. Mike Leinback has thrown in the paper towel at International Paper and will join our increasing numbers on the West Coast where he will work for his M.B.A. at Stanford. Charlie Dietrich, while still keeping his position on the faculty at the Westminster School, is enrolling at Wesleyan in a new multisummer program leading to a Masters of Arts and Liberal Studies. It all sounds a bit lofty to the holder of a mundane M.B.A. Two additional members of our class who have been in preparatory education have made moves this year: Dudley Clark has moved to the Garland School in Chester, N .J., and Howie Emsley has joined the faculty at the Marvelwood School in Cornwall, Conn. Dick Brittain has received his Master of Arts degree from Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. Even with those of us permanently employed there has been an element of movement. Bill Niles, who is with Ted Bates, has been transferred to the media group which handles the Colgate account.

Gary Knisely reports that after a culturally and cerebrally debilitating six months in Cleveland he is being transferred back to New York where he will be in advertising sales at Time International. Bob Ebersold is a district agent for tEtna in Hartford although he is still living in East Hartford. Tom Halloran is a purchasing officer for the Hartford Board of Education and is living with other unnamed Trinity alums in what has been described as a wild bachelor household in Hartford. A somewhat more traditional home is in Windsor Locks where Pete Landerman lives with his wife and two children. It should be a model household since Pete is professionally employed as a marriage counselor with the Family Service Society in Hartford.

In the banking fraternity, progress is being posted by Ted Raff who is to be appointed assistant manager of the Wethersfield Avenue Branch of the Hartford National Bank on August first. Here at F .N.C.B . Dick Field has transferred from the national division to the metropolitan division. I would suspect that the incongruity of a new bride and the heavy travel required in the national division had something to do with the change. Your Secretary has made a somewhat parallel move and I am now permanently attached to First National City Overseas Investment Corporation, a wholly-owned and largely subservient Edge Act subsidiary of

At Spring Frolic: Thomas Calabrese '63

F.N.C.B. The inference is that we will now be semi-permanent residents of New York.

In case any of you have reached the stage of substantial balances and are seeking to "put them to work," AI Holland, with Frances I. duPont, and Pete Lindberg, with Paine, Webber, Jackson and Curtis, are both registered reps and are fully equipped to separate you from your money. On the topic of that all too familiar separation, Bob Knox has now diversified and is prepared to ,get you coming or going. As of the first of the month, he will be supplementing his income as a fund raiser for the American Cancer Society in Manhattan by taking over an old bar called Barrymore's at York and 76th. The plans are to degild it a bit and rename it the Sand Box. Do drop in.

John Watson has demonstrated the obvious advantage of the enlisted-man approach to the armed services by getting out. He is now living in New Rochelle where he is employed as the assistant plant manager of Guest-Pac Corporation. They are in the seemingly profitable business of taking large amounts of small units of branded products for free and packaging them for resale to institutions which will then give them away. If you need ten thousand bars of hotel-size soap, just drop John aline.

The military is still monopolizing the energies of a large number of our classmates. To the best of my knowledge Walter Burinskas, who is now a first lieutenant, is the only member of our class actually in Vietnam. Needless to say, any mail any of you feel moved to generate would be greatly appreciated: FU3133612, 366th Field Maint. Sq., APO San Francisco. Maybe he can make advance reservations at Disneyland-East for those of you who will be following.

George Gulllano and Bill Reese are both flying B-52s for SAC out of Westover AFB. Dave Post is a first lieutenant and is stationed in England. Mal Graham is at St. Albans AFB in Vermont where he and his wife Jill will be for the next year until his hitch is up. Although he is somewhat involved in vestry work for the Episcopal church, they are really looking forward to next year and the possibility of returning to graduate business school.

Kim Waterhouse writes of the joys of survival training at Fairchild AFB in Washington. By August he will be using his navigator's wings out of Yokota AFB in Japan. He is being assigned to a reconnaissance group so classified that he does not even know what they do. Hope you like Shanghai, Kim. Just remember the Gary Powers lesson. On the topic of classified, John Wardlaw has received a promotion but due to his position with OSI his new rank is classified.

Just to prove that there can be glamour even in Amarillo, Texas, First Lieutenant Tom Smith has taken on a bride. He is lucky on another count: his assignment, which is in the rehabilitation of Air Force personnel who have been court martialed, allows him to utilize a part of the training he received while earning his Master's degree in psychology at Tufts.

Bob "Thunderball" Bond has recently returned from Spain where his aquatic skills were used in the recovery of the lost NATO H-bomb. He is a Lt., jg, explosive ordnance disposal diver, and is stationed at Charleston, S.C. In closing, let me make my usual plea for a little feedback from you members of the Class. It's a bit difficult to yield a crop if one must continue cultivating the same fields.

We welcome Park Benjamin and Mat MacPherson out of uniform into "civies," Park from the Coast Guard into Lazard Freres in New York and Mal from the Leathernecks into Time-Life somewhere.

A feature story run in the Hartford Times on May eighteenth told of a "block box" developed by Harvey Silverman that inspired his VW with "unexpected power" to pass another car at 75 mph on a hill rolling around a curve into a tunnel. For his creativity (over against his daring), he was awarded five hundred dollars by Karl Hallden '09, a supporter of Trinity's engineering program.

NECROLOGY 1900 Moses J. Brines, retired professor of psychology and public speaking at Rutgers University from 1933 to 1958, died April 1 in Coral Gables, Fla. He leaves his wife, the former Miss Judith Evans; a daughter, Mrs. Judith B. Wallace; and two sons, Dr. John K. and William S. Born August 23 , 1877, in Westerly, R.I., a son of the late John Brines and Mary Kinkade, he prepared for college at Westerly High School. At Trinity he was a member of the Glee Club, the College quartet and Jesters for four years, being the leader of the former. As a freshman he was elected class president and as a junior to Medusa. His fraternity was the Phi Psi Chapter of Alpha Chi Rho. For many years Mr. Brines was a professional singer. Before going to Rutgers University where he played an active role in starting the Graduate School of Banking, he was industrial secretary of the Massachusetts and Rhode Island YMCA's and director of the Whitinsville, Mass., Community Center. In 1934 he received the degree of Master of Arts from New York University.

After his retirement from Rutgers, Mr. Brines spent his summers in West Harwich, Mass., on Cape Cod and has wintered at Coral Gables. He was devoted to his Alma Mater and many alumni will recall his faithful attendance at reunions and his joy in leading the singing of college songs. - J.A.M. MOSES JAMES BRINES,
