President's Message To Alumni One happy evidence of our stability as an educational institution is apparent through your alumni organization. A year ago, when the need for a new dormitory was acute, the Trustees turned to the Alumni for help, and got it.

The new dormitory, compact and well planned, will please you, particularly the Common Room.

James L. Goodwin, a Trustee of the College, and his brother Philip have given for this room a French marble fireplace and the oak paneling from their father's house in New York, just torn down this year. It uplifts the entire building.

Then too, the many alumni meetings I attend during the year are a healthy index of your interest in your Alma Mater. Your Alumni Secretary, active and efficient, is building up your Alumni Fund, and with the aid of some of you is doing a remarkable task in placing our young graduates as they leave Hartford.

So it is with a feeling with some assurance that we begin what may be a hard year. We cannot predict what is in store for our country or our college, but we are ready. At the present writing no definite plan for national defense has been put before us by the Army or the National Government, but we are making such provisions as we can. We are organizing two units of students who will learn to fly this fall, with a ground school at the College and training in flying at Brainard Field. We have also applied for a Naval R. 0. T. C. unit to be established on the campus. More far-reaching perhaps are our plans for letting our students realize what they can do under conditions of mechanized warfare in terms of manufacture and supply of munitions or by studying two-way radio and other necessary adjuncts of combat and defense.

Beyond all that, we shall carry on as usual.

In times like these we should reconsecrate ourselves to study, to prize highly and to defend the ideals of civilization now so bitterly attacked elsewhere in this world. You who owe so much to Trinity for implanting in you those ideals of beauty, goodness, truth, and freedom must share with us here on the campus our endeavor to maintain in a changing world those eternal ideals.

The gathering of the Alumni in the Auditorium last June at Commencement time, which happened to be close the of the twentieth year since I became your president, gave me an opportunity to report to you in detail as to the financial status of Trinity. I tried then to express and will repeat now my appreciation of the help given by the Alumni in strengthening the resources of the College through the raising of the Centennial Fund eventeen years ago. Since that time the administration of your college has been able to balance the budget year after year, making possible normal growth in the number of students and useful increase in the extent of the plant. While it has been a pleasure to me, as I know it has been to you, to see our student body develop . in quantity and quality and to note that each one of our new buildings has a perfection that is all its own, it should be a still greater source of joy to realize that the College, in spite of depressions and hurricanes, has steadily paid its bills, increased the size of the Faculty, made no cuts in salaries and more than doubled its endowments. For the part many of you have played in this, I thank you. As I said to you last June, would that the United States during those twenty years between war and war had likewise set its financial house in order.

Commencement

GovERNOR BALDWIN AT THE OPEN AIR SERVICE A new feature of the last Commencement was the Alumni parade which followed the Alumni Luncheon. Original plans called for a grand march around the campus with an eventual stop at the Bishop for an Alumni Sing (another innovation). An ill-timed cloudburst threatened to knock these well-laid plans into a cocked hat, but Trinity spirit was not to be dampened even though the line of march had to be curtailed.

Aided and abetted by the Governor's Foot Guard Band, returning alumni lined up in the order of classes and, with banners flying, did some fancy stepping and puddle jumping up and down the college walk.

Nor was the Sing rained out. Enthusiastic vocalists had not had the barnacles removed from old but willing vocal chords for nothing. A good-

ly number gathered in the Dining Hall about the newly elected alumni president who perspiringly led them through the long list of Trinity songs and old favoi ites. Sufficient enthusiasm was generated to insure the continuation of the Sing as a regular Commencement feature.

By the time the repertoire of songs had been exhausted and tired voices were ready, though unwilling, to call a halt, out popped the sun!

There followed a general exodus to the south end of the campus where the stage was set for those annual classics known as the Alumni Soft-Ball games. Mike Connor's Hartfordians took Bill Buchanan's New Yorkers into camp to the accompaniment of the usual heckling and cries of "ringer", thereby regaining the handsomly decorated objet d'art which has become such a cov4

The return this year to the University Club for the Class of 1823 D:nner met with much favor. The friendly, informal atmosphere seemed to enhance the spirit of good-fellowship that was very much in evidence. "Mose" Brines, 1900, unearthed his latent talent as a male chorus conductor and spark-plugged the gathering through an endless number of old songs until the early morning hours. From now on he'll have a steady job at Commencement Dinners.

eted prize. Trustee Dan Web ter proved to be the fastest base runner despite his gray hairs but the scorers are still trying to Jearn how Raymond ( lats) Abbey of Worcester and Albert (Smitty) Smith of St. Paul, both stars of the Trinity team of 1910, slipped into the New York lineup. In Act I I the classes of 1925 and 1930 came to grips in a contest, the outcome of which is still in doubt according to the 1925 men, all of which would imply that 1930 probably did win.

CoLONEL W. E. A. BuLKELEY '90

SYDNEY D. PIN EY, '18

While celebrating his fiftieth reunion last June, Colonel Bulkeley was appointed Trustee of Trinity College.

A graduate of Hartford High School, Colonel Bulkeley entered Trinity in 1886 where he distinguished himself in many activities, especially track. Shortly after graduation he became affiliated with the Aetna Life Insurance Company.

Colonel Bu!keley is now Vice President and Auditor of this ompany as well as Auditor of the Aetna Casualty and Surety Co., Automobile Insurance Co., and Standard Fire Insurance Co. He is a Trustee of the Mechanics Saving Bank, President of the Cedar Hill Cemetery, a Director of Kellogg and Bulkeley Co., and a Director of Rourke-Eno Paper Co. He belongs to the Epsilon Chapter of Delta Psi.

Having served faithfully as Alumni Trustee for three years, Mr. Pinney was reelected to that office last June. He is often seen on Campus and is known to many of the undergraduates.

After his Junior year at College, Mr. Pinney joined many of his classmates by enlisting.

Having served as a Private in the Machine Gun Battalion, he returned for his degree in 1920.

Since then Mr. Pinney has been with the Travelers Insurance Company where he is Associate Actuary, Casualty Department. He has been Vice President of the Casualty Actuarial Society and has had a number of papers published in connection with this work.

Mr. Pinney is a member of the Phi Psi Chapter of Alpha Chi Rho. His father, Howard A. Pinney is a graduate of the Class of 1887.

FIFTIETH REUNION OF I 890 The Class of I890, at it's Fiftieth Reunion, enjoyed a full and varied week-end. Saturday morning, June IS, the Reverend Thomas A. Conover presided at the Requiem for the departed members of the Class. The Reverend George W. Sargent, William Pressey, Guy W. Miner, and Henry H. Barber assisted at the nine o'clock morning prayer.

The beautiful I890 Memorial Gate was unveiled at 4:30 Saturday afternoon with appropriate speeches by Dr. Ogilby, R. McClelland Brady and Colonel Bulkeley.

Saturday evening the reunion dinner was held in the home of Col. W. E. A. Bulkeley. The Misses McCook (sisters of Dr. John B. McCook) entertained the Class with a light supper Sunday afternoon and presented the College with a beautiful banner to replace the class of I890 banner which was destroyed in a fire some time ago.

Members of the Class were invited on a cruise aboard Col. Bulkeley's yacht Amadis, but unfortunately there was not time for this event.

The A madis appropriately flies a blue and gold owner's pennant.

The entire Class of I890 helped make possible the presentation of the gate.

EIGENBRODT CuP The Honorable Lawson Purdy, I884, was the fifth alumnus to win the Eigenbrodt Cup. The award was made at the annual Alumni Meeting last June, before a large gathering in the Chemistry building auditorium.

Having received his A.B. in I884 and his M .A. in I887, Mr. Purdy began a long and full career of public service in New York City. After graduating from the New York Law School in 1898 he was soon admitted to the Bar. He has been Secretary of the ew York Tax Reform Association, Presid~nt of the Department of Taxes and Assessments, Vice Chairman of the Committee ot Building Districts and Restrictions, General Director of the Charity Organization Association, President of the National Conference on City Planning, President of the National Municipal League, President of the Russell Sage Foundation, President of the National Information Bureau, Secretary of the Committee to Revise Tenement Houses Law, Chairman of the Multiple Dwelling Law Committee, and Chairman of the Emergency Work and Relief Administration in New York City.

WILLIAM G. WENDELL (Faculty)

COLONEL "MIKE" CONNOR

ScHOOL OF ExPERIENCE

ELIOT WARD

Dr. Fred Carpenter of Long Island still maintained that a good physician can cure most of the human ills if a man is only intelligent enough and sick enough to counsel with his doctor. He was reassuring as to potential freshman for the future as he had frequently had to stay awake nights registering birth certificates.

The class of 1915 made a distinctive contriuution to the intellectual as well as the social grandeur of Commencement weekend. The School of Experience inaugurated four years ago passed the usual scholastic tests with Phi Beta Kappa rating. Twenty-five years ago the faculty could not have possibly predicted the excellence of the flowering maturity of the Class of 1915.

The Reverend James Mitchell alone had faith, and faith produced good works and good words.

Prof. William B. Pressey of Dartmouth dispelled the illusion of wealth and clothed the cultural skeleton with vestments of finely spun phrases.

He was whimsical, winsome and witty.

Ward Duffy, editor of the Hartford Times, than which there is no greater newspaper- except for alumni who only read the Courant cast a font of serious type that he who runs might read, and those that sit and think might soberly ponder the meaning of the testimonial data of the immediate hours.

Ronald Kinney of Philadelphia in discussing his experience in the field of insurance admitted that the only hazard and risk for which there is no protection is the liability of the student to the professor. Howard Hill journeyed all the way from Tennessee to reaffirm his loyalty to the college and escape the pressure of business for a glorious weekend. He appealed to outgoing seniors to hazard their future in some business venture where energy, honesty and ability still have their rewards.

The class of 1915 reaffirmed the importance of the School of Experience as a part of the Commencement weekend and all the alumni commented on the excellence of the program.

The New Dormitory and Mark Mill~r Sibley, '96; Mr. Charles G. Woodward'98 in memory of his father, P. Henry Woodward, an honorary alumnus in 1900 and trustee; Mrs. P. Henry Woodward in memory of her father, Guilford Smith of Windham, a banker, manufacturer and bibliographer.

Several classes set their minimum goal at '$2,000, the estimated cost of a single room.

Rooms in the new dormitory are dedicated to the classes of 1875, 1888, 1890, 1910, 1916 and 1917. The class of 1890 celebrating its fiftieth reunion also contributed a memorial gate to the college.

Two former trustees were honored in the naming of the dormitory units, James J. Goodwin and and P. Henry Woodward. Both served the college long and faithfully. Their sons have carried on their responsibilities with the same fidelity and enthusiasm. Several members of the Goodwin family have been closely associated with the developmen-t and growth of Trinity; James Junius Goodwin was an honorary alumnus in I9IO and a trustee from I896 to 1915. P .

Henry Woodward was an honorary alumnus in 1900 and trustee from 1896 to 1917, serving as secretary to the Board from 1905 to 1917. It is fitting that these names should stand beside those of Jarvis, Northam, Boardman and Cook, great benefactors of youth and loyal friends of the college.

The new dormitory, to be named Goodwin and Woodward, is a reality. The final decorationsnamely, incoming freshman and upperclassmen, - were added at the opening of college. Each alumnus who shared in this project will want to inspect it personally and see how the completion of the south quadrangle has fullfilled an architectural dream for beautifying the campus.

From the middle of January through April, organized alumni committees under the chairmanship of our honored alumnus and trustee Charles F. Weed and the executive leadership of Northey Jones worked toward a goal of '$125,000.

Friends of the college joined in this endeavor to increase the residential facilities. The final results were most gratifying; $I3I,549 was subscribed by 1o67 individual donors.

The arch, the commons room and several individual rooms represent individual class gifts.

The arch is a memorial to William Nickerson Bancroft of the class of 1937 given by his grandmother, Mrs. Nickerson, of Boston The exquisite oak panelling and the fireplace in the commons room are from the former New York home of James L. Goodwin and Josephine S. Goodwin. The residence was designed by McKim, Mead and White who have supervised the adaptation of the interior finishing of one room to the student lounge. This was made possible through the thoughtfulness and cooperation of Philip L. Goodwin. Mrs. Walter Clark of Hartford also contributed to this room in memory of her father, George Shepard Gilman of the Class of 1847.

The Individual rooms were given by Miss Florence Crofut, Hon . M.A. 1938, in memory of Sidney W. Crofut; Judge and Mrs. Philip James McCook '95, Hon. LL.D '20, in memory of Philip Brown McCook of the Class of 1940; Mrs. Shiras Morris and Miss Grace Morris in memory of Charles Shiras Morris, an alumnus and trustee; Mrs. Isabel Russell of Greenwich Connecticut, in memory of her father-in-law, Henry E. Russell, manufacturer in New Britain and founder of the H. E. Russell Fellowship; Miss Frances Sibley of Detroit in memory of her two brothers, Alexander Hamilton Sibley, '92,

NEW PEW-ENDS The Truby pew-end is in memory of Joseph Mosgrove Truby of the class of 1879, who died after one year at Trinity College. It was given in his memory by his aunts. It represents on the panel young Truby sitting at his desk at the College with the hour-glass almost run out and his candle guttering in its socket. Behind him stands the archangel of death with his great wings spread to carry the young man off to heavenly mansions. On the arm piece is Bishop Abba, a patron saint of learning, and on the finial an eagle as a symbol of immortality.

Young Truby was a favorite of Professor Sammy Hart of beloved memory.

During the Commencement exercises, when Philip Brown McCook would have been called upon to receive his degree, due honor was paid to his memory. The president of the senior class unveiled the pew-end, given by his classmates, which was symbolic of the young man as a friend and of the tradition of his family. The panel represents the famous story of Damon and Pythias, a classic illustration of true friendship. On the finial is a crusader in full armor to illustrate the gallant devotion of the McCook family to all good causes, and on the arm piece is a clergyman in vestments representing the young man'sgrandfather, the Reverend John J. McCook, for forty years professor at Trinity College.

Report of The Alumni Secretary June 14, 1940 College publicity this year has been carrried out by a member of the Junior Clas . Even if we had a trained publicity man, it would be difficult to gain all the publicity many Alumni want away from Hartford, because we must face the facts that Trinity is not especially well known out of New England and that newspapers naturally favor local i.nstitutions. Since it would cost thousands of dollars a year to employ a trained man, it may be that our policy is perfectly satisfactory.

It is a pleasure to report the steady growth of local Alumni associations in recent years. Five years ago there were only five active associations; now there are fifteen which hold meetings annually. The newest association and the only one added this season, is known as the Hudson Valley A~sociation and was formed on May I in Albany hy a group of fourteen men who met for dinner.

It is my opinion that we have almost reached the maximum number of associations where there will be enough men to carry on from year to year.

Until our number of living Alumni increases substantially, it will probably be best to keep only the present local associations unless we find there are enough men in ew ] er ey or Danbury where some attempt ha<; already been made to bring the Alumni together for meetings.

In general the spirit at Alumni meetings this year has been most encouraging. It is my opinion that most of the associations are ready to cooperate with the College in the matter of directing prospective students to Trinity. Although the Philadelphia Association has done a great deal of work in this line and the Rochester Association has made a good start, in general the efforts have not been well organized and the Alumni Office has not had a good opportunity to cooperate. In another year, however, Dr. Jaquith and I expect to work out some definite plans making it easier for the various Alumni groups to understand all the qualifications which prospective students must have and to offer full cooperation in the matter of visiting schools and arranging a system for interviews. Thus it will (Ccntinued on page IS)

It is a pleasure to give you this report at the end of my fifth year as Alumni Secretary.

During recent months it has been necessary for me to spend a great deal of time trying to help members of our Senior Class find p.ermanent employment. Although there are still about twenty members of the Class without definite plans after graduation, it is no sign that this will be a bad year for placement because a number of these men are definitely on the trail of jobs which they are likely to land. Others who have not reported to me for some time may have made arrangements which have not come to my attention. In general it looks as if the employment situation is as good this year as it has been in the recent past. Because seniors often do not find work until some time after graduation it is expected that a high percentage will be placed before the end of the month.

In general we have had good luck with the men who have graduated. Although I do not say our Alumni have at any time been employed one hundred percent, there have been times when my list of Alumni seeking help has faded out of existence. On several occasions this past winter prospective employers called me up only to find that we had no men available.

HOBART 0 - 1939

Although Coach Jessee has eleven letter men returning this season , he faces a difficult task in preparing a squad for the seven worthy opponents scheduled . Handicapped by the lack of spring training, he has been making up for loss of time by holding two practice sessions daily from September 9th until the opening of College, September 20th .

Even Coach Jessee is unable to pick players who will start the opening game, but certainly Captain Bill Ryan halfback, and Joe Beidler also a halfback will be called at the opening whistle.

Don Walsh, who filled in so well in the Wesleyan game last year, will very likely be in the fullback position with Weisenfluh as spinner. Ted Knurek and Deed Harris will certainly see a good deal of service throughout the season also in the backfield .

With the loss of Hopkins, Kelly, Randall and Hanley, Coach Jessee has a difficult task grooming more or less raw material for the end positions. He plans to convert Thomsen and Mills,

former tackles. In addition Yudowitch, Neill and Tyler (swimming ace) may see a good deal of service.

It was with the greatest of enthusiasm that Ed Killian, a transfer from Villanova, was welcomed as a member of the squad. He and Morris Eddy, another new man on the squad who together weigh 445 pounds, should control the tackle positions most of the time. Other possibilities are Frank Steers, Gordon Potter, Frederick Moor, AI Granatek and Frank Jones.

Three lettermen are available as guards. AI Will and Don Viering, who did creditable work last season, will be pressed for their positions by Elton Wallace. Other candidates include Arthur Heubner, Drew Brinkerhoff and John Bonee.

Frank Fasi, who played the entire Wesleyan game at center as substitute for Captain Jack Carey last year, will very likely start in that position this season. A heavier sophomore John Fay, will be a good substitute for Fasi and will certainly see much action.

Although Coach Jessee is the last person to predict an excellent season, he is willing to state that this years' Trinity team will give all opponents a great deal to think about provided that the squad is not again. crippled by the injury jinx. Those who saw the Wesleyan game last year know only too well the weakness of the Trinity teams. They are weak in number but not in spirit or ability.

The 1940 eleven will be a typical Jessee product: a hard-fighting team believing that a strong offense is the best defense. Mousetraps and spinners will keep the opponents guessing and most of the spectators too.

JACK CAREY, '40

Jack Carey, captain of the 1939 team, will aid the coaches this year. Jack was one of the best centers ever to play for the Blue & Gold and should be a big help in keeping the squad busy.

He will also help Coach Erickson with the freshmen team.

JOSEPH

C. CLARKE

Assistant Coach Joseph C. Clarke is a graduate of Springfield College, Class of 1929. He was varsity end under Coach Rothacher and was outstanding in both football and swimming. He came directly to Trinity College from Springfield. Joe rarely sees the varsity team in action since his assignment as scout takes him away Saturdays to rival camps. In addition to assisting in football, he is head coach of swimming and assistant coach of track. He spends his summers as Director of the Hartford Times Summer Camp.

Bill Ryan '41, Captain and Back. A good man to watch.

On Campus CLASS OF 1944

CAMPUS MAI TENANCE

The incoming Freshman Class (158) is not quite so large as last year's (180). Uncertainty about conscription and better opportunities for work have probably played a part. Since the number of resident students is again larger than the number of non-resident students, there are few vacancies in the dormitories. The new unit ' has been completely filled.

The number of Freshmen coming from preparatory schools shows an increase over the number coming from high schools, and the geographical distribution of resident students is wide. The following states are represented: New York (16), Illinois (3), ew Jersey (8), Rhode Island (3), Pennsylvania (7), Minnesota (I), Kansas(I), Ohio (3), Michigan(!), Maryland (4), Massachusetts (g), New Hampshire (1), California (2), Connecticut (20). There are three students from England and I from Italy. ---The largest vocational interests indicated by the Class are: Medicine, Engineering, Chemistry, and Aeronautics. It is not unlikely that this class will produce a good freshman football team under the able coaching of Ralph Erickson.

During the summer extensive improvements haye been made on the buildings and grounds of our college. Under the able direction .of Mr. Dudley Chaffee, Property Manager, many concrete betterments have enhanced the beauty and livableness of the college.

Included in the improvements are ~he second section of new steel stairs in ortham 路Towers.

The side nearest Jarvis was completed lasfyear, and the Seabury side was completed during the summer making this building fire safe. New steam and coke auxialiary heating tanks, and new hot water supply mains have been installed in the Main Building. Major changes and repairs have been made to the big boilers in the Central Heating system.

In the line of painting, the trim on the exterior of Alumni Hall has been reconditioned, and the window frames of Cook Dormitory have been given new coats. Painting has been also done in the dinif!g hall.

A semi-permanent surface was given to the chapel driveway after it had been properly graded. A permanent surface was not given to it because it would have to be changed if an addition were made on the library.

New post office boxes have been installed to take care of the influx of Uncle Sam's missives.

Trinit)( is also blessed now with four new tennis courts, a need that has been paramount for yean;. The class of 1940 were the proud doners of one of the courts. ~ Besides the aforementioned, Mr. Chaffee ha8 been instrumental in making improvements not visible unless inspected closely. For example the pointing on Northam Towers has been done over, the contractors finding places three and four inches deep that needed refilling.

R. WALKER SCOTT Dr. R. Walker Scott, who has been professor of Latin and French at Rikkyo University, Tokio, has been appointed Professor of the Romance Languages Department, without a head since the death of Professor Stanley L. Galpin in 1934路 Dr. Scott is a graduate of Washington and jefferson College. He received his Masters Degree from Princeton University and was at one time Fellow of The American School of Archaeology at Athens and Fellow of The American Academy at Rome. He has taught at Hotchkiss School, Dalhousie University (Canada), Columbia University, the University of Wisconsin, and Washington and jefferson College.

Dr. Scott has traveled extensively and while at Rikkyo he was a recognized member of the japanese Government. Because of his thorough knowledge of the Orient, Dr. Scott is in a position to pass on much interesting information regarding the situation in China and japan.

Although my share of the work of ra1smg money for the dormitory is insignificant compared with that of many others, I want to take this opportunity to thank all Trinity men for their loyal support. It was a great pleasure for all of us on the campus to see how you rallied to the cause when the need was great. As far as I know, this dormitory drive is the most successful we have ever held. It helps us when we go to non-Alumni for contributions if we can show how Trinity men themselves have expressed their loyalty. Thus your support has helped in two ways.

In spite of the curtailed activities of the Alumni Fund, some of the classes have made excellent records. Mr. Lawson Purdy's class, 1884, has again contributed 100% as have the classes of 188o, 1886, and 1890. Through the leadership of Mr. R. McClelland Brady, the Class of 1890 has raised a large amount of money for a beautiful Memorial Gateway which has been constructed on Vernon Street, just north of the Psi Upsilon fraternity house. This gateway will be unveiled at 4:30 this afternoon. The Class of 1915 is also unveiling a gift today at 4 :~5.

They are presenting the College with a fine Trophy Case which may be seen in the hallway of the old gymnasium. It is a pleasure to state that several other classes have already taken steps to arrange for gifts to the College at future reuniOns .

In connection with the success of the dormitory drive and reunion plans, the Commencement number of the Alumni News was sent to all Trinity men at the end of May. This little magazine, which began as a experiment just a year ago, has grown to twenty pages and has been heartily approved by many Alumni. It is expected that the magazine will be published regularly in the future. The number of issues and the size of the magazine will have to depend on the generosity of Alumni toward the Alumni Fund which supports this project. The publication of the Alumni News is an expensive item which the Fund h(ls not had to meet until .recently. It costs approximately $265 to publish and mail one sixteen page issue and this cost is increased by about $125 when the number of pages runs to twenty.

Commencement plans have been made this year much the same as usual except for two

jOHN THEOBALD

For eight years Mr. Theobald has been teaching English Composition at Amherst College.

A native of England, he is a graduate of Cam, bridge University and has studied at Union Theological Seminary in New York and the University of Iowa, At Trinity he will replace Dr. jack Trevithick who has accepted a position at the Citadel, Charleston, S. C.

(Alumni Suretary's Report) be all the more possible for our Alumni to have organizations for their own pleasure and at the same time to be a real service to the College.

Because of the dormitory drive, it was necessary to stop soliciting for the Alumni Fund in january. In spite of this, contributions have been made to the Fund now and then bringing the total number of contributors for the season to 340. The success of the dormitory drive, however, is just cause for optimism regarding the future of the Alumni Fund. Since well over a thousand Alumni contributed to the drive, it is not impossible to think that this same number will eventually be regular contributors every year to the Alumni Fund.

additional features which I trust will enjoy the support of all of you. (1) The Alumni Sing and Parade to take place immediately after the Alumni Luncheon on Saturday. (2) Holding the 1823 dinner and class reunion dinners at the University Club, Saturday night. After much discussion these plans were approved by a committee under the leadership of Judge Alexander W. Creedon and the Alumni Secretary. It is hoped that the changes will attract more Alumni and in general will add to the spirit of the weekend .

At the meeting of the Alumni Fund Council Friday night June 14 it was decided that only token payments could be made on some of the projects adopted by the Alumni Fund this year because the Fund had been sacrificed for the more important drive for the New Dormitory.

The following appropriations , however, await your approval:
