A Dream Corne True The dedication of William Gwinn Mather Hall, Trinity's new Student Center, marked another historic moment in the life of the College.

This attractive facility not only fulfills a great need in the every-day life of Trinity but also pays living homage to one of Trinity's greatest benefactors, William Gwinn Mather, and to the many alumni parents and friends who have made possible this building.

In the short time it has been in operation the building has shown that it is truly living up to the prediction that it would be the "Hearthstone of the Campus." Just how, one wonders, did we manage without such a center for campus activity.

(See story on pages 12 and 13 ).

Role of the Small College An Editorial from The Hartford Times Dr. Albert C. Jacobs, president of Trinity College, has pledged that Trinity will maintain its small college personality despite the doubling of its enrollment in recent years.

Nobody who knows Trinity had doubted that the tradition of the small, liberal arts college would be maintained there. It is good to have it on the record, however, in these days of overspecialization and uncontrolled expansion in so many educational institutions.

There is a place for the great university with its multitudinous departments, its wide range of courses, its interplay of academic and scientific disciplines, its opportunities for brilliant and creative thinkers to profit by association with one another, and its expensive research facilities. Dr. athan M. Pusey, president of Harvard University, in a talk to the students of the University of North Carolina, recently defined the responsibilities of the university better than any other modern educator has done.

But the university cannot take the place of the small college. We need both. In Europe, universities exist more for their faculties and graduate students than for the instruction of the undergraduate. American universities com-

bine the two functions - giving undergraduates the broad training they need before they begin to specialize and supporting the work of scholars and scientists. The small college confines itself largely to endowing its students with the attitudes and intellectual tools necessary to an educated man.

An eminent judge said a few years ago, "I have never used a single fact that I learned in college." But he had used other things he learned there - distinction in argument, discrimination in taste, the attitude of challenge that makes a man intellectually free. Those are marks of the educated man . He may or may not be able to read the Anabasis in the original Greek; the effect on his mind of his struggles with Greek grammar, however, is an asset from which he profits all his life. The same is true of courses in other subjects that require him to think, to criticize, to be original.

Trinity's excellence is proved by the record of its graduates. Its academic tradition is part of the educational heritage of the Eastern colleges which is the envy of the rest of the country. It is good to be assured that that tradition will be maintained.

Judge of Probate Trinity Man To Succeed The Late Russell Z. Johnston '16

Think it Through !

For JUDGE OF PROBATE

By Thomas A. Smith '44 This election year is being written into political annals as the year of the young men, and amongst the many young men engaged in contests for public office are two Trinity alumni who have been nominated by their patties as candidates for judge of probate of the Hartford district.

On Election Day, either D emocrat and Mayor of Hartford, James H. Kinsella, or Republican and former Councilman, John L. Bonee Jr. will be elected to a judgeship which has the distinction of being one of the oldest and most lucrative judicial offices in the nation, and which was administered with great efficiency from 1938 until his death in 1959 by Russell Z. Johnston, Class of 1916.

John Bonee, Class of 1943, has much in common with Jim Kinsella, Class of 1947. Although somewhat different in personality, John and Jim are clearly accustomed to the public. John, active in community affairs for nine years, is an energetic, well-spoken person whose manner shows his confidence in himself and his fellow man. Jim, equally energetic, speaks softly with a vestigial brogue and has the manner of one who has spent seven years listening to his fellow council members with patience.

Two of their chief common qualities are their vigor and their serious interest in politics. Each man comes from a home in which political fare was as essential to conversational diet as was salt to the meat. Jim's grandfather and father, and John's father and mother served the city and their parties for many years, and they passed on to the two men their present party affiliations and much of their own political wisdom and experience. To their vigor, those who knew them in College, as well as those who have known them since, can testify.

John entered Trinity in September 1939 from Haltford Public High School. He played three seasons of varsity football, was on the varsity swimming team dming two seasons and would have served his third season as captain had he remained in College. He was active in the Newman Club, president of the Athletic Association, sophomore class vice-president, Class Marshal, president of his junior class, and a member of the Senate and of the Medusa. In between classes and contests political and athletic he devoted his energies to the betterm ent of the life of Alpha Chi Rho. Jim came to the College from Bulkeley High School in September of 1941. He and John were teammates dming one of those nightmarish football seasons which Mr. Jessee predicts with regularity but which he has avoided with great success. Jim left College at the end of his sophomore year for the Marines, retmned in 1945, and tried his hand with the Jesters, was president of the evvman Club, and president of his senior class. In addition, he supplemented his G. I. bill by playing the piano evenings in a number of local nightclubs and restamants.

JOH N L. BONEE Your Estate in Good Hands

As was the case for many, tl1e war took both men from their educations. John saw duty in the Pacific and served on board a destroyer in the invasions of the Bismarck Islands, New Guinea, and Saipan. He left the service as a lieutenant, j. g. Jim entered the Marines as a private, served chiefly in aircraft radar, and left the service as a staff sergeant.

John studied law at Yale, earning his degree in 1947; after his retmn to Hartford he began a career in law which now finds him engaged in general practice. One of his partners is Anson T. McCook, Class of 1902. Jim's study of the law was deferred for several years after his graduation from Trinity in 1947. He was an accomplished pianist and a good singer, and he had made enough of a reputation for himself while in college to entertain professionally. It seems to have been his plan to spend a year on the eastern nightclub circuit and then go on to law school. Instead, he worked for two years and might have stayed longer in entertainment had not Alexander Goldfarb, Trinity 1946, and then a member of the faculty at the University of Nebraska, encomaged him to enter the university law school. In 1952 Jim earned his degree and returned from Nebraska to Hartford, where he too is engaged in a parb1ership in general law, and one of his parb1ers is Alexander Goldfarb.

In 1951 John made his first try for office and was elected to the City Council. He was serving his second year when Jim came back to Hartford. Jim completed his political apprenticeship during the first EisenhowerStevenson contest "getting out the vote" for the D emocrat.

In 1953 Jolm and Jim were among the eighteen candidates for the nine man City Council; each won a seat, John running fifth and Jim third in the field. Since then Jim has held a seat at each election and , by virtue of leading the field at each of the last two elections, has served_-_as Mayor of Hartford.

It is worth pointing out, for the benefit of readers who are not familiar with Hartford's government, that councilmen are not paid. During the years which both have served on the Council it has been an active body and has made great demands on its members' time. The Mayor represents the city on numerous official and semi-official occasions, and Jim estimates that he spends five to eight hours daily on city affairs; thus, it appears that he is paid twice as little as the other members.

Since their entry into city politics and government both men have done miles of what Jim calls "legwork" for their parties. John, particularly, has won a reputation as a young and effective party leader. Serving now as chairman of the Hartford County Republican Associates he has given Republicans greater sb·ength locally and has undoubtedly influenced registered Independents in the county.

But over and above their activities within their parties, both men have made conb·ibutions to their communities which are not only measures of their vigor, good sense, and interest in their city but also measures of their future capacities. Both, of course, are called upon to lend themselves to civic and philanthropic affairs annually. Their alumni files (and their wives might do it even better) bear witness to the leadership which they have provided and to the esteem in which their community holds them.

Each can claim a significant role in work now going on in Hartford which will add much to the material wealth, physical comfort, and beauty of the area.

As councilman John played a major role in effecting a flood control project which relieved one section of the city of a frequent discomfort. Further, his efforts to bring the East-West Highway from paper to construction will soon give residents of Hartford and commuters a set of roads as modern as the automobiles which now clog the city in over-heated frusb·ation.

Jim and John were both interested early in their public careers in Hartford's redevelopment, and each can lay claim to giving stimulus to that program, though Jim's role in redevelopment has been the major one. In 1957 Jim organized many private groups in the area and by enlisting their interests under one banner was able to speed up reconstruction work which will shortly rejuvenate much of the do"'rntown section of Hartford (and, ironically, give John's office a much improved view looking East across the river ) . Jim, further, has effected real improvements in Hartford's recreational facilities.

Each man, therefore, comes to the contest for the probate post with the support of his party and with a reputation for achievement and administrative ability which is well known to the public.

The probate district of Hartford includes eight towns: Hartford, West Hartford, Bloomfield, ewington, Wethersfield, Rocky Hill, Glastonbury, and Windsor Locks.

The population of this district is over 300,000. Almost every family in the district may one day expect to do business with the court, where estates, trusts, guardianships, conservatorships, and commitments to institutions are processed.

Since the end of Judge Jolmston's second campaign in 1940, the judgeship has been apolitical. From then until his death his record was such that his nomination by the Republicans was immediately endorsed by the Democrats,

and he needed but one vote at any election to hold his post. He conducted no campaign after 1940 - a campaign which was restrained and factual.

At this writing both candidates are working hard to assure their victories. o doubt tl1ey are disadvantaged by the national campaigns and the attention which even the lesser national aspects are given by the public.

To people in the Hartford district, too, the probate position is not a familiar political issue, and this lack of knowledge may even further disadvantage the candidates.

The late Judge Johnston was most efficient in his office, but by personal inclination, and out of consideration for the office, he sought little publicity. John and Jim, therefore, have not only to contend with the national blanket but also must, as part of their campaigns, publicize the office they seek. Then, over and above that, each must demonstrate that he is better qualified than the other to administer the office.

It would appear at first that it might be to Jim Kinsella's advantage to campaign, in a region in which Democrats are more organized than Republicans, quietly under the national blanket and to depend upon sb·aight party voters to carry him. Were there fewer Independents in the region this might well be the case, but Independent registration is heavy, and each man will have to address himself to this group effectively if he is to win. Also, both men have sense enough to take nothing for granted.

Happily, John Bonee and James Kinsella are confident that by November 8th the voters of the district will be fully sensible to their qualifications, and there is no need, therefore, for us to advise readers in the district how to vote. We hope readers who vote in the district will follow the campaigns which the two men wage, and we, for our part, wish each man well, knowing that whichever man wins, neither Trinity nor Hartford will be the loser, for both will continue to give their community service in which their college and their community will take great pride.

TRANSITION TO COLLEGE Trinity College's New Plan for Talented Secondary School Students A Story in Three Parts Trinity CoUege's "Transit-ion to College Plan," allowing high school students between the junior and senior year to take college courses for credit, has captured the interest of educators througlwut the country. One of the first to enter the program when it was tested quietly last year was William ]. Linn, who at the time had completed his junior year at Bulkeley High School.

The first summer's pilot program was most successful.

On the basis of the experience the Fund for the Advancement of Education made a grant to the College "in order that we might extend our program for talented secondary school students." This past summer students came from Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. This Transition Plan may well prove to be the prototype of an important development in higher education. It is specifically designed, and this is the interest in it of the Fund for the Advancement of Education, to serve as a model for other colleges.

"Full credit," says President Jacobs, "goes to Dr. Robert M. Vogel for the conception and execution of the unique plan."

I I Went to College Early

By William J. Linn '64 "Nothing to worry about," I told myself for the tenth time. I had been acclaimed "expert" in my field, there had been no previous obstacle I had not srumounted, and this should be no more than another routine step up the ladder.

It all had a hollow ring.

To be sure, I had built a decent writing reputation in my first two years at Bulkeley High School. And, toward the close of my junior year, I had been recommended for summer class work of a more advanced nature. I reasoned that such work would serve as a perfect "warmup" for my senior year.

And so I had applied, and had been accepted, at the Trinity College summer school.

When the time came to take my seat, I "wanted out."

This summer, considerable attention and publicity has been given Trinity's unique Transition to College Plan.

The Plan, is intended to give qualified high school students an opportunity to take college-level courses for credit, in the same classes with college students. These students are unknown to their instructors and receive no preferential treatment.

Last summer, when I was at Trinity, there was no such ballyhoo. If anything, Dean Vogel was trying to blanket

G

his prize project with a dark veil of secrecy. Upon receiving my letter of acceptance in early June, I was cautioned not to reveal my good fortune to a newspaper or to any other medium which might puncture the bubble.

Dean Vogel was giving nothing a chance to nip his embryonic chef d'oeuvre in the bud.

He did, however, everything he could to remove me and my 15 counterparts from the role of educational "guinea-pigs." First, he took the important step of granting each of us a full tuition scholarship. Then, he assured us that every attempt would be made to transform a passing grade in our courses into college credit. With that Dean Vogel slipped back into the woodwork, as it were, revealing not a word to any publication, and the fate of the infant program was left in the hands of sixteen high school students whose senior year still lay before them.

Trinity's Summer School is divided into two terms. In 1959, the first term opened on June 29 and continued through July. Some of my counterparts apparently anxious to "drink deeply" of the cup of knowledge, had enrolled in both sessions, and were now beginning their campaign.

When this was suggested to me, I held back. I had always taken the phrase "summer vacation" literally, and preferred to rest a month and then get a "taste" of college work rather than toss away my whole vacation in favor of a string of college credits. July passed quickly - much too quickly, I thought tl1en - and the time had come. I set out from my home in the south end of Hartford for the College on the Hilltop. I believe as I headed over the peacefully dotmant campus toward old Seabury Hall my emotions were so wildly mixed as to be almost nonexistent. It was obvious what my feelings were, and yet together they seemed to make little sense. My mind was a jumbled potpourri. In a way I suppose that's true of all pioneers.

As I stumbled into the basement room that was 12 Seabury Hall, I observed with a sweeping glance that I was the only teenager in the group. It was some five minutes before class time, and a cordon of five or six "veteran" collegians had grouped about the instructor's desk, firing esoteric queries. Instructor-poet Samuel French Morse couched his replies in a language that I vaguely remembered stumbling upon while doing research for a term paper.

That was when I "wanted out."

I grabbed the nearest chair, sat to collect myself. And, by instinct, I remained rooted there, soaking up the atmosphere of the place. The collegians gradually drifted back into seats, a minute or so before the bell rang and my college career began.

I decided to "stick around." At least for a while.

n I Sent My Daughter to Trinity

By John M. Parsons '38

Noelle and Jack Parsons '38

Perhaps the first redeeming factor I noted was the true genius of Professor Morse, an authority on the late Wallace Stevens. As he stood there on the lecture platform in the depths of Seabmy Hall, he became my idea of an authority on any and all forms of literature and philosophy. Before his merciless queries and pithy comments, many of my own flimsy ideas were dashed to shreds and I was forced to start anew, forced to reshape my "philosophy" into forms I had never before thought about, cared to think about or dared to think about. Cardinal Newman writes of "the collision of mind with mind." In the depths of Trinity College, a student's mental framework was being pounded, twisted, welded here, torn there, and almost completely revised in its clash with the mind of the master. It was my first experience with a real intellect, and I will never forget it.

Yet there were factors to offset this. The "Trinity atmosphere" was very definitely present. The summer school had a large enrollment, and its many students pmsued their studies with the same spirit as in the regular school year. I had full acquaintance with the facilities of the College; its fine Library and beautiful Gothic Chapel never failed to impress me.

After having a few persistent and stubborn notions about college and college work knocked out of me, I began to apply myself to the task at hand. The comse itself, once I had become acclimated, was hardly as "rough" as I had expected. It was not so far above what I had encountered at Bulkeley that I had no chance to cope with it, provided I gave the effort deserving of a college comse.

Before too long, I was convinced that I might, after all, last all the way to September.

We all made it and I am unstinted in my praise for the summer comse which I attended at Trinity and which has since been magnified. Strictly as opinion, I would recommend it to anyone with serious designs on college. At first glance it seems formidable; too formidable. But, as in so many other things, one never can be certain until he tests it in the crucible of personal experience. It may well become a question of "getting in the swim." And that, of comse, is generally very enjoyable and satisfying.

Late last spring, without the advantage of a tilpe machine, I spanned the distance of 20 years. My firstborn, having reached the tender age of sixteen, clamored to go to Trinity! Being female and backed by her mother, who is also female, she wore me down to the point where I made the mistake of mentioning the word "perhaps."

And that was that.

A five weeks' comse in nostalgia and amazement at the changes time hath wrought began on the Sunday I delivered her to Ogilby Hall (the faculty lived there in my time) where I left her with a few thousand brief words of parental advice. After all, Trinity is still a college for men ... as I remember.

This short span of the summer was then punctuated by an assortment of hmried notes and a great many collect phone calls, mostly concerning extra allowance for such essentials as a size 44 Trinity sweatshirt to be good and baggy, Dad, and size 12 dungaree shorts to be good and tight, Dad. However, the first phone call was merely a check to make sme we were not too lonesome for her.

We gathered from the assembled orchestra of teen-age voices that homesickness was definitely not Noelle's problem.

Letters that followed produced this more sober information: "Om Spanish class is a real oleo. We have several college students, a few graduates, two older men (one a teacher of military science right here at school), and me.

There are fom girls and eleven men - a pretty good ratio, hum?" "Om teacher, a senor Diaz, is a real fireball - he starts off the day by coming in the window." "''m doing some swimming, playing quite a bit of tennis, and having a terrific time. But don't worry, Dad, we really do work hard. The pace is something, but we use what we learn every day and it's fun to see how fast you can get hold of a language this way." And then there was the inevitable wail of all teen-agers in regard to food, "0 well, at least only my mind is being broadened, I hope."

The net result of such dazzling correspondence was that we had to buy omselves a Spanish-English dictionary to translate the phrases that plastered the pages. In fact, we even tried on a few omselves now and then. After all, enthusiasm is the rock of all ages - 16 or 60.

Perhaps the most distmbing time of the whole comse came the night we received an SOS call asking for information on ''how to get rid of a wolf." With no concrete description of this particular wolf's specifications, I might say that I was definitely upset. On the other hand, my wife took the attitude that a wolf is a wolf and Trinity sme hasn't changed in twenty years, Ole! So now that the summer at Trinity is over, I had looked forward to the comparative peace of a final high school year. But I am aware of a female buzzing behind doors, a subtle air of connivance. I am also aware that there is another summer following this winter; and the winters are getting tougher. How do you say "perhaps" in Spanish, Dad?

m The Director Speaks on the Transition Plan

By Robert M. Vogel Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of the Transition to College Plan is the enthusiasm radiated by oelle Parsons and Bill Linn. Their enthusiasm is typical, and is exactly what college faculties (and an anxious world, too) have been waiting for - an enthusiasm for college, for learning.

We should remember that every one of the forty-seven pre-college students this year could have had an easier summer. It is a compliment to their ambition and intelligence that they chose to undertake a difficult task. It is a further compliment to these same qualities that so many of them did so well. Twenty-seven of the forty-seven ranked fourth or higher in at least one of the courses in which they were emolled. Ten led their classes.

But what of those who were in the middle of their classes, or the few who were near the bottom? They still merit the first of those compliments, and what they learned may be more valuable to them than the learning of those whose achievement was much higher. Better to make such a record in a summer te1m of five weeks than in the freshman year when they will be "playing for keeps."

For all of the forty-seven are bound for college, and rightly so. They are bright; they have made excellent records in secondary school. The Plan is not designed to answer the question "Am I qualified to go to college?"

Its purpose is to help those who seem to be capable of outstanding work in college lea rn how to make the most of their capabilities in the different environment which college presents.

Obviously some of them have to learn (Remember your freshman year?) to study longer hours, to look beyond memorization of facts, to organize and relate and think, to understand that the freedom of a college campus implies self-discipline. All these Transition Plan Scholars, regardless of their records, have learned some of these lessons. If I had it to do over again I would admit every one of this year's group, and this I mean, not as a testimony to my acumen, but to their individual achievement and learning. For even the least successful it was not a waste of time.

From the moment the summer session started we have been working on plans for next year. Already we know we want to do these things: l. double or triple the number of Transition Plan scholars; 2. sb路ongly urge all of them to be residential students to give them as complete college experience as possible; 3. offer one or two demonstration Advanced Placement comses, and 4. sponsor a conference on Advanced Placement for secondary school personnel, both of these to encomage the extension of Advanced Placement comses in schools; 5. complement the courses for these ambitious students with higher level courses for similarly an1bitious college students who desire to complete tl1e requirements for the Bachelor's degree in three years.

8

This la~t requires some explanation. To many educators acceleration remains a dirty word. Bright and ambitious high school and college students, they maintain, must be freed from the rigors of the classroom for the three summer months. Deprived by urbanization and mechanization of work at home, deprived by the population bulge and the passing of seasonal employment of summer jobs outside the home, they are somehow supposed to remain alert and busy. How many adults, faced with three months of enforced freedom from routine, will work like beavers?

The fact is that a steadily increasing number of the best students prefers summer study to summer boredom.

Advanced Placement credit and plans like the Transition to College Plan are given real practical value when, combined with study in subsequent summers, they enable students to slice a year of time and an impressive amount of cost from their college careers. There is no doubt that acceleration is here to stay, and we are in an admirable position to provide for it, so perfectly consistent is it with tl1e Transition to College Plan.

Eugene D eWitt of Norwalk (Connecticut) High School receives The Hartford Courant award as outstanding student h1 first term 1960.

Trinity In Books

By Frank A. Kelly Jr. '41

Part I- The Nineteenth Centu ry The chronicler of the literary history of Trinity College is fortunate in being able to begin his account with superlatives. The earliest Trinity author I have been able to discover, William Cook of the class of 1834, was on e of the worst of all American poets.

Mr. Cook belonged to the group of literary primitives which included Bloodgood H. Cutter, J. Cordon Coogler and Mrs. Julia A. Moore, the Sweet Singer of Michigan.

Although they could not be considered a Literary School, since they went their solitary ways, they had in common a gift for the wrong word in the crucial spot, a tin ear for meter and an itch to appear in print.

Trinity's representative in this choir of rmal songbirds was a resident of Salem, Massachusetts. As a somewhat unorthodox clergyman and a successful teacher of arithmetic and bookkeeping he was a respected figme in Salem, although known as an eccentric. But his other activities were secondary in his own eyes to his vocation as a poet. He composed, printed and bound more than forty books, and illusb路ated them with crude woodcuts.

Some of his books were The Ploughboy, Talk About Indians, A Jubilant Canzonet for the Salem Infantry, and The Martial Wreath Twined Respectfully for the Salem Independent Cadets.

Mr. Cook warned his readers that "My rhythm is original and varied to please my taste." Here, from Talk About Indians, is an example: "Had those wild men sb路ong oars And sails - out-spread, When by the storm-boat shores They, joyous, sped?

"No, but they paddles had and skins of game, For sails not very bad, Were all the same. " ow, Father, tell thy son, As sailors food, "Could they not take the sun When so they would?

"Why no, my darling child, For work like that They were too fierce and wild, Blind as a bat."

Frank A. Kelly Jr. '41 has long had an interest in literature and particularly in literature concerning Trinity College.

The Editorial Board has asked him to write an article about Trinity in books. In submitting the manuscript he explains that this is not an exhaustive research but contains much information which is interesting in connection with Trinity and Trinity writers.

The second part of the article will appear in the January edition of the Alumni Magazine.

The meter gives the bracing effect of a ride over a bumpy road, with an occasional pothole, as in the first stanza.

It is easy to laugh at Mr. Cook. But in a profession where the coterie is the normal social unit and the critic sometimes rules with the power of an oriental despot, he was his own man. If no one else would publish his poems he published them himself, and illustrated them in the bargain. And if the literary world didn't like it, the literary world could lump it. That the influences which he ignored included the generally accepted standards of syntax and punctuation doesn't completely eclipse his achievement. Over the gulf of a century it is impossible to take him seriously as a poet. But he inspires considerable respect as a person.

Four Years for naught?

Robert Tomes graduated with the Class of 1835 and in later years practiced medicine in ew York City. In 1880 he wrote My Student Days, an account of his education in the United States and Great Britain. The first part of his book describes Trinity life in the early 1830's.

In those days Hartford was a town with a population of about 10,000 and travellers reached it by sailing ship.

Trinity College (which was still known as Washington College) was situated on the hill, then considered to be in the submbs, where the State Capitol is now located.

Mr. Tomes gives a lively account of student life. If we can believe his account the college was in the doldrums.

Although the three main buildings had not been standing for many years, they were in a considerably dilapidated condition. The fifty students were an undisciplined group who shunned studies in favor of more or less innocent amusements. And the faculty were an undistinguished lot who made little attempt to teach anything.

On Mr. Tomes' testimony, he received little education at Trinity. "I would have gladly dropped a veil of oblivion over those important but wasted four years.'"

But he notes elsewhere in the book that his class of a dozen men produced an Episcopalian Bishop of Connecticut (John Williams) , a Catholic Archbishop of Baltimore (James Roosevelt Bayley ) and one of our ablest Civil War diplomats (John Bigelow) , not to mention a Michigan Secretary of State and a Connecticut Lieutenant Governor. Perhaps Trinity gave a better education than he remembered.

College life in the 1850's was remembered by Maitland Armstrong of the Class of 1859 in his autobiography, Day Before Yesterday. The book was published posthumously in 1920. In it he described his life as an artist, government official and traveler. He seems to have had a winning personality and it is not surprising that he remembered his college years as happy ones. His account of his life was described by one reviewer as "A delightful narrative of one phase of American life at its best."

9

Oliver Willcox orton, 1858, deserves mention not so much for his literary work, since he acted chiefly as an editor of military records, but because his editorial efforts were chiefly aimed at the commemoration of his friend and classmate, Brigadier General Strong Vincent, who was Trinity's principal Civil War hero.

On the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg, without waiting for official orders, General Vincent led his brigade to seize Little Round Top, the key to the Union position. Had it been taken by the Alabama regiments which stmmed the hill only ten minutes after Vincent's men had dug in, Meade's whole left wing would have been forced to retire. In the bloody fight which followed, Vincent's men held their positions but he was mortally wounded. There seems little question that he can be given credit for saving the Union cause from disaster.

This has been attested by such qualified witnesses as Col. Joshua Chamberlain of the famous 20th Maine, which fought under Vincent's Command, and General James Longsb路eet, C. S. A.

Colonial H istory The foremost author and scholar produced by Trinity in the nineteenth century was undoubtedly Charles McLean Andrews of tl1e Class of 1884. Dr. Andrews was described by one competent critic as "The greatest of our historians of the Colonial period of American history."

Among his books were The Fathers of New England ( 1919), Colonial Folkways ( 1919) and The Colonial Period of American History ( 1934-8) . In them he gave major emphasis to the English background of the colonies, and was accused by some critics of an excessive partiality for the Mother Country. A distinctive characteristic of his work was his writing as fully about the island colonies as those on the mainland. He pioneered in treating tl1e English colonial world as a single indivisible unity.

During Dr. Andrews' career he received many of the awards which are the visible manifestations of the scholar's real reward: the respect of his colleagues and the gratitude of his students. In 1937 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters and awarded the gold medal given once every ten years by the National Institute of Arts and Letters for outstanding work in history or biography. In 1935 the first volume of The Colonial Period of American History won a Pulitzer Prize. And Harvard University, in its Tercentenary Year, awarded him an honorary degree, characterizing him as "a great teacher and scholar, foremost among the living historians of America."

Although Dr. Andrews never taught at Trinity - his career was spent at Bryn Mawr and at Yale, where he was for twenty-one years Farnham Professor of American History - his ties to his alma mater remained close.

He came back to receive an honorary LL.D. in 1905 and in 1929 delivered the commencement address.

Much of the Trinity literature of the nineteenth century was the off-hours recreation of professional men.

Leonard Kip, 1846, an Albany lawyer, wrote a series of historical novels which included The Dead Marquise (1873), Under the Bells (1879) and AEnone, A Tale of Slave Life in Rome ( 1867). Mr. Kip must have had some popular success, since the copy of AEnone in the Trinity

Library is a second edition. (Perhaps I'm taking the wrong approach here and should congratulate the Library on having first editions of so many of our authors). Sydney George Fisher, '79, a Philadelphia lawyer, wrote a series of books on the colonial history of Pennsylvania, and Enoch Vine Stoddard, 1860, who practiced medicine in Rochester, N.Y., wrote a biography of Bertrand duGueschin, the medieval constable of France.

Edward S. Van Zile, '84, deserves a paragraph to himself, since he appears to have been Trinity's first playwright. He was the author of a play called Champagne.

Other than the title I have no further information about it, although it is probably safe to assume it was a comedy.

Mr. Van Zile wrote many short stories for Lippincott's and The Smart Set magazines and collected them in such books as Perkins The Fakeer (1903) and A Duke and His Double (1903).

Although works of pure scholarship have been omitted from this account I have arbih路arily decided to make an exception in favor of An Impartial Study of the Shakespeare Title ( 1904) by John H. Stotzenburg, 1850. The fact that Mr. Stotzenburg called his work an "impartial" study suggests that he had an axe to grind, and so it proves. He had joined the ranks of those who don't believe that Shakespeare wrote the plays after all. But fevv of his colleagues can have been so uncompromising. In Mr. Stotzenburg's considered opinion Shakespeare was "an uneducated man, barely able to write his own name." Who, then, was responsible for the First Folio?

Our critic suggests that the plays were the work of Drayton, Dekker, Heywood, Webster, Middleton, and others, and were "polished" by Francis Bacon. Although not likely to b~ the last word on the subject this Popular Front explanation suggests a way in which the 11011Shakespearians could compose their differences and present a common front to the enemy.

Sidelights on the R evolution Arnold's Tempter (1908) by Benjamin Franklin Comfort, '89, is the sort of book that gave the American Revolution a bad name to fiction readers in the days when the art of the dust jacket was in its infancy and novelists hadn't yet discovered the literary possibilities in the fact that the Revolutionary heroes were lusty men, prone to sins of the flesh. Here is a sample of the dialogue: "'But why are the influential people of substance encom路aging the Revolution then, if they can see nothing except disorder and anarchy result therefrom?' was the inquisitive rejoinder of Barclugh. "'Why, sir, those New England delegates under Samuel Adams and the Southern delegates under Thomas Jefferson were so rabid that Robe1t FitzMaurice and myself and our pa1ty of conservatives in the Continental Congress were overwhelmed and compelled to sign the Declaration of Independence. We did so reluctantly and after a bitter contest, for the commercial and Quaker interests of Philadelphia opposed the Declaration. If the commercial interests of our country could have the decision, there would have been no Declaration of Independence. We would have settled our differences amicably with King George, maintained our allegiance to the British Crown, and held the colonies under the British Constitution' was the dramatic response of the Philadelphia Lawyer.

" 'Yes, and every one of you would bargain away your rights as free men for the sake of so-called commercial interests, which would breed a class of tyrants more potent than kings,' was the spirited retort of Miss Greydon, who had been an attentive listener to the docb路ines of an advocate who, she knew, was paid for his opinions."

In spite of the author's assurances that this dialogue is dramatic and spirited, there may be readers who will find it is somewhat lacking in liveliness. If they want a complete change of pace they should tum to Samuel Richard Fuller, Jr., Class of 1900, who wrote the Five Chums series of boys' books under the pen name "Norman Brainerd." This is the opening of one of his books: " 'Out the way down below!! Look out there, you fellows!! Whooa-up!!!!

"Whirrr-rr, bang!!!!

'That smashed her, all right!! shouted Billy Hazen after he had finished his yell of warning to Simon Thorp and Skinny Hudson."

After the Five Chums preparatory school days at Chatham Military Academy (Winning His Shoulder Straps; or, Bob Anderson at Chatham Military School and Winning the Eagle Prize; or, the Pluck of Billy Hazen ) they went on to Washington College (Winning The Junior Cup; or The Honor of Stub Barrows ). Trinity alumni will b e interested to hear that the commencement exercises at 路w ashington were held in front of the stah1e of old Bishop Darling in the shadow of Southam Towers .

There, the students sang "Neath the Elms of Our Old Washington." It will be seen that Mr. Fuller didn't go far for his background material.

Vice President Nixon Attends Sunday Chapel Trinity College was honored when Vice President Richard M. Nixon chose to join students and faculty at the morning worship service in the College Chapel Sunday, October 16.

The Vice President slipped quietly out of his hotel room into an awaiting car. H e asked to be taken to the Trinity Chapel.

Although a handful of people were aware that he might choose to visit Trinity, there was no certainty that he would come. Assurance came when, at two minutes before the eleven o'clock service, a WTIC-TV cameraman came running across the campus. He had learned of Mr. Nixon's destination only as the Vice President d eparted from the Statler Hilton and he was able to arrive on campus just ahead of the city's week-end guest.

Dr. and Mrs. Jacobs, who had paused on the steps to the Chapel, h1rned back to greet Mr. Nixon and to invite him to join them in their pew.

During the service, which was well attended, word spread rapidly that the Vice President was on campus. A large number of students was on hand to greet him as he emerged from the Chapel. Mr. ixon told tl1em they had missed a Rne sermon and advised them to attend Chapel next Sunday. H e stopped to chat with many, including Hin-S eak Leng of Malaya, and shook hands with nearly everyone present. As he mad e his way back to his car Mike Tousey, a member of the freshman class and apparently a personal fri end , presented him with his freshman beanie.

With a very pleasant smile and a fri endly wave of the beanie he was whisked away from the midst of the assembled crowd.

THE TRINITY TRIPOD OFFICES The Tripod Room was given in memory of John Francis Boyer, '53, a former associate editor of the Trinity Tripod, by his father, Francis Boyer, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

On behalf of the Tmstees of Trinity College, and in accordance with their unanimous vote, I now name this splendid student center the William Gwinn Mather Hall. May I say that without his magnificent support this building would never have become a reality.

We are lastingly grateful to this illustrious son of Alma Mater. In paying b路ibute to him I wish to quote briefly from the resolution of the Trustees of Trinity College at the time of his death.

THE IVY ROOM The editorial room for Trinity's yearbook, The Ivy, was given in memory of Colonel William E. A. Bulkeley, Class of 1890, by his wife, Alys H. Bulkeley of Pacific Palisades, California.

cated man he reflected great credit to his Alma Mater for more than seven decades. Descended from a foremost colonial family, he added distinction to an ah路eady illustrious name. His example of business enterprise and ability, of fin ancial and industrial statesmanship, of educational and community leadership, of deep religious devotion and generous philanthropy made him an inspiration to all who knew him either personally or through his many good works. In all things his honesty, moral uprightness and generosity shown forth. In an age that may wonder if the Golden Rule represents values to be sought, Mr. Mather's example is as a bright and steady beacon of affirmation . A Trustee of the College for 42 years, Mr. Mather's advice and assistance were sought by five presidents. His interest in the Humanities, esp ecially in the classics and in the library, was that of the scholar in its scope and depth. His influ ence was profound in the maintenance of high standards in these areas.

More than any other man he brought about the present financial stability of the College, thereby molding its presence and insuring its future. His imprint on the College is as enduring as the beautiful Gothic chapel which he raised in memory of his mother and which for all time will be the architectural as well as the spiritual center of the campus."

The Rt. Rev. Walter H. Gray, Life Trustee and Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut, closed the ceremonies with a dedication prayer.

Anonymous Gift H onors P rofessor N otopoulos Professor James A. otopoulos has been honored by an anonymous gift to the College establishing the James A. Notopoulos Fund. According to the donor the fund is "in appreciation and recognition of his profound scholarship, outstanding leadership, his sterling example and his intense interest in promoting in his students high ideals of learning."

The fund is to be used for the benefit of the Classical Department. It is the donor's wish that the income from the fund be used to promote the study of Latin at the College. The income may, for example, be used to offer a prize primarily for freshman excellence in attainment in Latin or may be used for an award to an upperclassman. If there is not sufficient attainment in excellence the prize will not be awarded and the income may be added to the corpus of the trust or may be used for a public lecture or similar purpose.

llelfiop <!t.arr 2);arret 1877 . 1960 Dr. LeRoy C. Barret, Hobart Professor of Classical Languages Emeritus, passed away last July 15th. Affectionately known to his students as "the Old Roman"; he retired in 1947 after 37 years of service to the College.

The following is an excerpt from the Trinity College Alumni News, July 1947.

The retirement of Professor LeRoy Carr Barret . . . marks another of those moments in the life of Trinity College which have commemorative significance for countless of Trinity men.

The career of Professor Barret is filled \vith a cursus honomm which makes it understandable why Trinity enjoys such excellent _Qrestige in the world of scholarship. After graduating from 路washington and Lee in 1897, Professor Barret studied Greek under the great Gildersleeve and Sanshit under Bloomfield at the Johns Hopkins University.

After receiving his doctorate in Classics and Sanskrit at Johns Hopkins in 1903, he stayed on there as instructor in Latin from 1903-07. From 1907-09 he was preceptor in Classics at Princeton, and after a year as instmctor at Dartmouth, Professor Barret came to Trinity in 1910 as Professor of Latin. He brought great "Kudos" to Trinity by virtue of his scholarship. Though he taught Latin, his first love was Sanskrit in which he became world renowned for his definitive edition of the Kashmirian Atharva Veda. This magnum opus, to which he devoted over twenty-five years of work, truly deserves, in the opinion of scholars, Horace's line: "I have reare~, a monument more lasting than brass. . ..

One might deepen his appreciation of Professor Barret's scholarship by noting the honors he has received. In 1927-28 he was tl1e secretary-treasurer of the American Philological Association. He was elected in 1938 president of the American Oriental Society, a signal honor. In 1944 he wrote the history of this society on the occasion of its centennial celebration. In 1945-46 he was elected president of tl1e Classical Association of ew England ... On the occasion of his retirement Trinity takes great pride in his distinguished career and in his steadfast adherence to and maintenance of Trinity's high standards. When the history of New England college education is written, it will be found that Trinity is tl1e classical Parthenon in the Acropolis of ew England colleges

A dedication to training engineers broadly educated and part of the mainstream of American life, this was Professor Lockwood's principal aim in teaching. To this end he shaped the engineering department at Trinity in the midst of a liberal arts college. That these two seemingly irreconcilable desciplines of study could be fused into one is a tribute to his skill, his patience, and his profound tmderstanding of men.

It was no easy job to bring into being the present five-year engineering program which resulted in the granting of the first engineering degrees this June.

Although this program came to fruition about the same time that Sputnik arrived over our skies, the ground work for the program had been laid some time earlier, and only coincidentally did it become reality at the very time technical and scientific education was being challenged.

Harold ]. Lockwood

When Professor Lockwood first arrived at Trinity in 1943 to develop the College's engineering program within the Navy V-12 program, both he and the College had considerable experience in the fields of engineering and the liberal arts.

An engineering department had been an integral part of the college since before the turn of the century. Among the uraduates was Karl Hallden '09 whose benefactions have made possible the recent growth of the department to its present size and stature.

Professor Locl-路wood, a Lafayette College graduate, class of 1912, had taught at Lafayette, Dartmouth, and Manhattan, before joining the Trinity faculty. The period at the Thayer school at Dartmouth was most significant, as here engineering education was carried out in a liberal arts atmosphere, but under the severe handicap of having to telescope the engineering into the fourth and fifth years of college rather than develop the subject to a logical fashion over a student's entire college career, as in the Trinity program.

Although from the very beginning of his tenure at Trinity Professor Lockwood

16

had the vision of developing an engineering degree program, the events of the day prevented realization of this dream until this past year. The first order of business during the war was, of course, the teaching of the aval V-12 students. Following the war, until about 1950, the most pressing problem was teaching the large number of returning GI's. It was in this immediate post-war period that he was successful in developing the present 3-2 program with R.P.I. TI1.is program, the first of its type that R.P.I. had undertaken, has grown until presently some 18 liberal arts colleges are participating.

The early 1950's saw the return of "normality" on the campus, with a large non-veteran student population taking the usual four years to complete their course. During this period the department was able to stabilize its offerings, and develop and execute a philosophy of its own, free of the inl.mediate postwar pressures. At this time, all engineering education in this country was also being critically examined. As a result there developed the idea of the broadly based, scientifically oriented, yet definitely engineering-flavored education that is being presently implemented in the engineering schools. Such a program requires much less laboratory space and staff, and depends much more heavily on the mathematics and physics departments, than was true of the older type of education.

It was in this atmosphere, about 1955, that the conception of the present fiveyear program took place. The time was ripe, the means were at hand, but success could only come about by proper planning and patient guiding. First the financial hacking had to be assured; then the faculty had to be convinced such a plan was not only feasible but actually would enhance the college; the trustees had to approve; and finally, tlus all accomplished, the students had to be convinced that tl1e additional year's work taken at Trinity was both intellectually and economically beneficial. That each and every one of these hurdles was overcome is in itself proof of the devotion, patience, and single-mindedness of purpose iliat characterized Professor Lockwood.

But Professor Lockwood was also a great teacher. Full of understandin g, he treated each and every student as an individual. He inspired by example, and students were led along by him to develop their own power to reason out and work through the various problems iliey attacked. Through class and outside assignments tlley are shown how tllese problems related not only to their future professional careers, but also to tile larger problems of life itself. The adnliration of his students attests to tl1eir deep affection for him and Ius teaching.

Professor Lockwood's life work is done, but he can rest, confident in tl1e knowledge that he built well and strongly.

The five-year engineering program will always be a memorial to his dedicated efforts. Many future generations of students will share the results of thii one man's efforts.

Alumni Magazine Cited by A.A.C. Trinity College received two honors at the joint conference of the American Alumni Council and the American College Public Relations Association held in Washington, D.C., in July.

The Trinity College Alumni Magazine received honorable mention in the annual Publications Competition of the A.A.C. for its feature columns "The Undergraduate Clime" written by Lloyd M. "Mac" Costley '60.

The ACPRA presented a Citation of Honor to Trinity College ":in recognition of the general excellence of its 'Education Via The Airwaves' in competition with colleges and universities of similar size throughout the United States."

"Education Via The Airwaves" was a special series of educational programs inaugurated last year by WRTC-FM, Radio Trinity :in cooperation with tl1e West Hartford School System. The project was first portrayed in a feature article in Th e Hartford Courant and later received nationwide news coverage.

WRTC's programs, in the field of English and broadcast five t~es :in o~e clay twice a month, were p1Cked up m the classrooms of Conard High School in West Hartford and the Manchester High School. Trinity students plan, produce and present the programs and often call upon members of the faculty to take part.

Kenneili C. Parker attended ilie Washington conference and mtroduced Allen W. Merrell '39, director of the Civic and Govemment Affairs Office of the Ford Motor Company, who was a speaker at tl1e conference luncheon Tuesday. Mr. Merrell announced the Ford Company's new matching gift program .

LOUIS A. SCHULER, 1870-1960 Louis A. Schuler, who served Trinity College as superintendent of grounds and building for 40 years, passed away this summer. He was a member of St. James Episcopal Church, Hartford and a 50 year member of Trinity Lodge 56 IOOF. He was also a Spanish-American \Var Veteran.

Freshman Class of

Chosen From I 542 Final Applications 270

From our observations the dark drizzly Sunday of Septemb~r 11 faded to dampen the enthusiasm and spirit of the freslunen as they arrived in Hartford an~ went ab.o~t the business of locating theu new livmg quarters and getting settled. For the 270 freshmen in tl1e Clas~ of 1964, the four years at Trinity officmlly began - gently ushered in by Hurricane Donna - on Monday, September 12, the initial day of Freshman Week.

Within the total pool of 2951 candidates who filed prelinlinary applications this class was selected from 1542 final candidates, a record number in tl1e College's history. Of tl1ese, 527 applied for financial aid. The degree of competitiveness for a place in the Freshman Class today becomes more obvious when we consider tl1c fact tl1at tlw Class of 1956 which entered only eight years ago, wa~ selected from less than half this number: 720 final applicants. On the basis of tl~e increased numbers of promising candidates applying to Trinity, we have every right to expect fine achievements personally and academically - from the Class of 1964.

Geographically, the freshmen are from 27 states, excluding District of Columbia. Two freshmen reside in France and Switzerland, respectively.

Although temporarily unclassified and not listed as freshmen, two foreign students from Singapore and Malaya also entered Trinity this fall. Their attendance was made possible in part by the generosity of tl1e fraternities, two of which will provide them with room and board. Connecticut remains the leading state witl1 74 followed ?Y New York 50, ew Jersey 22, and Illin01s and Pennsylvania tied with 20 each. Other states with large representation include Massachusetts 19 Maryland 9, Rhode Island 8, Ohio and District of Columbia 7 each. Botl1 California and Colorado sent 4 representatives, Delaware and Oklahoma 3 each and 2 each from Maine, Minnesota, Mis~ so uri, and Wisconsin. The following states each have 1 number in the class: Florida, Kentucky, Oregon Soutl1 Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, 'vermont Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia: The alumni should be pleased to know that 12 freslunen are sons of Trinity graduates. In addition to these 6 members of the Class of 1964 are b;others of alumni, and 2 are brotl1ers of current undergraduates.

Trinity experienced the impact of tl1e swelling nwnbers of students from publ~c high schools seeking a college education: 58.1 % of the class are public school graduates. The remaining 41.9 % are from the independent schools. lt is expected the freshmen will present quite varied educational backgrounds, for they prepared for college at 189 different secondary schools, an increase of 7 over last year. In one way the Class of 1964 is ahnost a duplicate of 1963: 54.4 %

wish to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree, and 45.6 % a Bachelor of Science degree, totals which closely parallel . tl1ose of a year ago.

It would be unwise to state tl1at tl1e Class of 1964 will carry off all the academic honors in the College and leave a record superior to those established by all previous classes. However, on paper 1964 possesses noteworthy academic strength and should achieve unusual heights. Only 11.5% ranked below the middle of their senior class. ?8 .1 % distinguished tl1emselves by rankmg m the top tentl1, 64.1 % were in the first qnarter (including tl1e top tenth), and 85.9 % stood within tl1e top half ( 2.6 % were unranked). With tl1is rise in proven achievement, there is a corresponding growth in aptitude for college work as revealed by the results of tl1e Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Board. The class average on the verbal aptitude rose to 580, the matl1ematical aptitude to 625. (On this examination, on a scale from 200 to 800, tl1e national average in 1958 of high school seniors taking this examination was verbal 481 matl1ematical 531.) The Class of 1964 is not without ability and intellectual promise.

Although the number of men - 66 ~ho received financial aid (either grants, JObs, or loans, or a combination tl1ereof) was almost identical to that of the Class of 1963, tl1e total amount awru路ded to tl1e recipients rose to $68,750. Actually, 73 awards were made to these candidates for in some cases where single scholar~ ships were insufficient to meet need a boy may have received more than ~ne award. Eig!1t boys from such states as Colora~o, Washington, Oregon, Oklahoma,. Missouri, Maryland, and New York received George F. Baker Scholarships ( 2. w.ere h.onorary without stipend), 10 Illinois residents received Illinois Scholarships ( 1 honorary), and 10 Greater Hartford students were awarded Capital Area Scholarships. The remaining were granted 7 special scholarships and 38 Trinity awards. One of the highlights

of this class is the remarkable number of scholarships other freshmen received from outside sources. In addition to a group of less known scholarships received, 2 freslunen were awarded National l\~erit Scholarships, 1 a Pulhnan Foundation Scholarship, 3 United Aircraft Scholarships, and 3 Rhode Island State Scholarships. To date, the known tt;>tal, which is still growing for all outSide awards amounts to approximately $13,000.

The College is grateful to the alumni who tmder the reorganized Alumni In~erviewing ~rogram played such a promrnent part m shaping tl1e class. Close to 475 final candidates in 39 states were interviewed. This is considerably more than double the number who were interviewed as recently as two years ago in 0e Class of 1962. The complete, candid, .comp~路ehensive reports retmned by the mterv1ewers served tl1e Admissions Office well in evaluating candidates.

Also, the alumni proved to be most effective in following up on the admitted candidates and in sending off incoming freshmen appropriately by giving parties in their behalf.

We hope the alumni will get to know the Class of 1964. It is a group witl1 wide interests and achievements: from experimenting with rocket fuels to breeding roses; from developing electronic devic~s . to collecting antique guns; from buildrng and refinishing furniture to editing an atomics magazine; from being a student of the Civil War to working in ~ mental hospital; from investing imagmary sums of money to being an American Field Service representative in Switzerland. Like other youths going on to college, they show tl1e usual interests in cla~sical music, aviation, "cooking, ~ardemng, bridge," landscaping, ice boatmg, chess, amateur radio, astronomy, crossword puzzles, and girls. Particularly prominent are tl1e numbers who have been in.volved in student government, dr~matics , publications, and band. Also, tlns class is not lacking in interest in varsity athletics, with football in the lead, basketball and track close behind followed by baseball, soccer, tennis, and swinlliling.

The Class of 1964 will give a good account of itself in Trinity's history. We 'vish it well.

Illinois Scholars ilz the Class of 1964 are, l. to r., David H. Galaty; Brttce W'. Frier; Henry TP". Haslach Jr. ; Alan B . JIVallace; Ronald E. Brackett; Michael N. T ousey; Harry D. Pratt; Thomas B. McKune ; Robert C. Miller Jr .; and D avid L. Curry.

Graduate School Information Immediate graduate study in September is the intent of 40.3% of the Class of '60, compared to 38.2% of the Class of '59. The national increased interest in graduate work continues. In addition to a number of speci拢c fellowships and scholarships awarded to seniors this year, Robert C. Larsen received a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship. The University of Chicago Law School-Trinity Scholarship was awarded to Spencer L. Smith, and Sanford A. Bredine was awarded the University of Chicago Business SchoolTrinity Scholarship. During the past year, more visiting deans and professors from professional schools of business路 and law were on campus, and their meetings were well attended by not only seniors, but underclassmen.

Regarding salaries, it is the same phrase, "up again this year;" the salary range for B.A. men was $3900-$6200, the average, $5050; salary range for B.S. men was $4500-$6700, the average, $5716; salary range for Master Degree candidates in Chemistry and Engineering was $6420-$7500, the average, $6765.

The mailing of resumes to approximately 650 companies was resumed this year, having been omitted in 1959.

Career Day was held on February 2nd, and whatever success it enjoyed was due to the speakers, the faculty and student committees.

Employment Information We scheduled 119 companies to come to Trinity during the months of February, March, and April; 2 companies cancelled their dates, and we cancelled 39 because of lack of interest, leaving a total of 78 companies which interviewed seniors on campus. These companies held 1032 interviews, which resulted in 228 invitations for further interviews and 82 job offers. The number of companies visiting Trinity to interview sophomores and juniors for summer programs increased from 6 in 1959 to 17 in 1960.

These companies gave 15 offers and received 12 acceptances. Seven schools,

Now that the Financial Aid Assistance Program has just completed its second year, nearly 100% of the campus jobs are assigned to scholarship students.

These assignments are made in the summer prior to the academic year. Priority lists based on need and d'lte of application are used for referring sh1dents to off-campus employment. The percentage of students at Trinity who do some work during the year is approximately 75%.

About one-third of this group hold steady part-time jobs during the year, and the remainder are registered to fill short duration employment requests. The Placement Office sends out a mailing to approximately 500 off-campus part-time employers in September, and to about 300 in May, the latter for summer employment. Wages on campus, aside from the D ining Hall, where the pay is full board, range from $.80 to $1.00 an hour.

The off-campus job wages range from $1.00 to $2.25 an hour. Although college costs are increasing all the time, it certainly appears that very few students at Trinity are forced to resign because of financial reasons, which is probably due in part to the opportunity of finding work in the Hartford area.

SPORTS ..... a:: en c::::t

a.. en Fall Round-up The fall varsity sports picture, at press time, presented some disappointments but it was not without its bright spots.

In football the varsity had two victories and three losses after five contests.

The 20-7 Williams loss was a real surprise to fans who attended the opener at Trinity Field. A week later at Canton, .Y., the team bounced back with a 26-6 victory over St. Lawrence and presented Coach Dan Jessee with his 125th victory while mentor at Trinity. (See accompanying story.)

The Bantams were on the short end of a 22-0 score against Tufts, the nation's small college offensive leader. A week later Trinity surprised an undefeated Colby eleven and scared a Parents Day crowd at Waterville, Me., before succumbing to the White Mules, 22-14 .

Before a large Parents Day cr()wd 路in Hartford, Trinity handsomely defeated Franklin and Marshall 32-14.

The outlook for the rest of Trin's season is brighter than the results of the first five games. Coast Guard will invade Trinity Field Oct. 29 and Amherst is the opponent for Alumni Homecoming ov. 5.

The traditional \Vesleyan game is at Middletown, ov. 12.

All-American and Trinity's first Olympian in 60 years, Alex Guild is back for one more year as Trin's star center-forward, and team captain.

Alex Guild and Coach Dath

22

H ead Coach Dan Jessee and Capt. Tom. Reese

He ushered in Coach Roy Dath's 9th season with Trinity by performing the three-goal hat trick in pacing the Bantam hooters over Coast Guard, 4-2. He assisted Janos Karvazy in getting the final Trinity goal. M .I.T. surprised the Bantams in a contest at Cambridge and eeked out a 2-0 victory.

In the third game of the now 26member ew England Intercollegiate league, Guild scored three more in promoting a 4-1 victory over Tufts. Janos Karvazy of Budapest, Hungary, scored the other.

It was Guild again pacing the way with three goals as Trinity walloped the University of Massachusetts, 10-4. John Pitcairn also tallied three times, Karvazy twice and Ilhi Synn of Korea and Donald D . Mills of Philadelphia, scored one each.

Guild ranked fifth nationally in scoring last year with 22 and third nationally in assists with 18. Over his first two years he netted 43 goals and assisted on 35 others.

WHERE ARE THEY OW? Little All-American Center Roger LeClerc and Eastern College Athletic Council's All-Tackle choice, Bill deColigny, both Trinity '60, signed with the Chicago Bears. Rog is playing regularly with the Bears. "Deco" survived early cuts but is now playing with tl1 e Saskatchewan Roughriders of tl1e Canadian Professional Football League.

A Look At Tomorrows The freshman football and soccer squads have developed into fine teams.

Coach Chet McPhee has another top Hight football team. His 1959 squad went undefeated and the 1960 edition may repeat.

William Campbell of Philadelphia, Terry Oulundsen of \Vest Hartford and Lany Silver of Hartford have stood out as the team's offensive punch with Ken Parsons of Sayville, .Y., adding the kicking touch with seven out of eight extra point attempts and a 24-yard field goal. Doug Drynan of Albany, Oregon, and Peter Schaefer of Strafford, Pa., share the quarterbacking.

Soccer coach Shults is all aglow these days. "This could be the highest scoring team since '57," grins Shults. Especially promising is Jolm Gordon of Philadelphia ~hom Shu!~s rates as " the best I've seen smce Alex.

Jessee Scores 125th Triumph When Trinity's fired-up Bantams posted a 26-6 victory over St. Lawrence at Canton, N.Y., a milestone in a brilliant coaching career was achieved. The victory was the 125th for Head Coach Dan Jessee since becoming Trinity's football mentor.

There are only half-a-dozen active collegiate coaches who have seen their !25th football victory and this select elite includes such notables as Bud \Vilkinson, Oklahoma; Jess Neely, Rice; Dr. Edward . Anderson, Holy Cross; A. S. (Jake) Gaither, Florida A. & M. and A. C. ( Scrappy) Moore, Chattanooga.

Coach Jessee, often referred to as the "'ol perfesser" by Connecticut sports writers, has one of the longest unbroken tenures as head football coach at one college. He started at Trinity in 1932.

Actually he is in his 26th season as Trinity did not have a football team in 1943, '44 and '45.

In 25 full years at the helm Dan had amassed a 124-49-4 record. H e has had only four losing seasons, and one of those was his first on the job. In his third year of direction the club won seven straight, the first undefeated, untied team in Trinity history. In one stretch of 25 games, from mid-season 1933 to mid-season 1937, Dan's team lost only two games. In 1949 he produced another unblemished record and won "Coach of the Year" laurels. He followed this with undefeated teams in 1954 and 1955, tieing the all-time Trinity record of 15 straight wins, and in 1954 he again was chosen "Coach of the Year."

Janumy 27, 1958, was a big day for Dan; on that evening he received the coveted Gold Key Award from the Connecticut Sports vVriters Alliance and, only hours before, learned that he had been promoted to full professor of physical education.

Although his football achievements are a full career in themselves, the Jessee story doesn't end there. Last June Dan finished his hventy-fifth season as head baseball mentor, and in addition to this he was from 1947 until two years ago coach of squash racquets. His baseball record shows a winning percentage that would be a Hag-wirmer in any league: 205-124-4.

ASSOCIATION NOTES National Association Votes Reorganization Under the able leadership of Glover Jolmson '22, president, the National Alumni Association officers proposed a reorganization of the Alumni Association which was tmanimously approved by the Executive Committee tllis summer and adopted at a special meetin g of the Association September 23rd.

The revised organization calls for a Senior Vice President and five Vice Presidents, who will have charge of the Alumni Fund; Ahunni Interviewing; Area Associations; Campus Activities; and ational Publicity and Public Relations. Each of the vice presidents plans to appoint subcommittee chairmen to assist them .

At the recent alumni meeting held in conjunction with the 4th annual Campus Conference, the following alumni were elected: Herbert R. Bland '40, senior vice president; Robert A. Gilbert '38, vice president in charge of the 19601961 Alumni Fund; Lloyd E. Smith '23, vice president in charge of admissions interviewing and recruiting; Robert H .

Daut '34, vice president for area associations; Stewart M. Ogilvy '36, vice president for campus activities; and William K. Paynter '37, vice president for national publicity and public relations.

George C. Capen '10 presented at the closing banquet of the 4th Annual Campus Conference the first George C. Cap en award for Area Association Activity.

The award was presented jointly to the Hartford Alunmi Association and the New York Alumni Association. Donald F. Viering '42 President of the local association and Frederick C . Hinkel Jr. '06 Vi ce President of the New York Association representing President John Gooding '31 received the award on behalf of their respective associations.

Each winning association receives a small replica of the large cup which will be kept in the Alumni Lounge in William Gwinn Mather Hall, tl1e College's new student center dedicated October 22. The names of each recipient association and its president will be inscribed on tl1e large cup.

Mr. Capen has d<;>nated this award to stimulate activity among the various area associations. The committee tl1is year was unable to choose a single winner as the ratings showed these two clubs to be equal.

Mr. Capen stressed in making the presentation that tl1e small association or a new association has as great a chance of winning the award as a larger or more firmly established organization. His great concern is for perfective activity in all alumni areas.

1901 has achieved 100% participation of its fourteen living members as contributors to Trinity's 1960 Alumni Fund, and looks forward hopefully to an impressive attendance in both quantity and quality at its 60th reunion next June. All '01's are now octogenarians excepting one (nicknamed "Kid" when he entered college at 15) who will not enter that category until Dec. 5, 1961. (Guess who?).

The athletic activities of some members of the class, according to HARRY H . COCHRA E, "makes me jealous. I never did ski and I haven't played golf for about 15 years. My athletic accomplishments are mostly limited to driving a car, mixing a martini, and smoking a cigarette".

LEWIS G. HARRIMA received this past June tl1e degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, from Alfred University.

His citation, after outlining his banking career, goes on to say "As a public spirited citizen you have been active in the political, educational, and religious life of the city of Buffalo. The impressive list of your varied community interests and activities reflects a deep sense of community responsibility. You have been a good citizen and Buffalo is a much better city in which to live and work because of your effort. Of particular interest to friends of education is tl1at fact that you have served as a trustee of the Nichols School and Trinity College and have been a member of the University of Buffalo Council since 1944. In 1954 your alma mater honored you with the Doctor of Laws degree."

KARL W. HALLDE has been cited by "Who's Who in America" for "special

26

educational philanthropy." Because of his generosity Trinity was able to become one of the few small liberal arts colleges in the country with a five-year engineering program, leading to tile Bachelor of Engineering degree. His philanthropy has been extended to tile College's Chapel and Religion department as well.

At Cartagena, Colombia, BAYARD F. S OW has engineered a complete revision of tile ancient city's central square (tile Glorieta) - Result: A beautiful grass plot in ilie middle, a safety-producing traffic circle, and a modernized drainage system.

The American City magazine, in an article on tl1e project, said, "Cartageneros always had been accustomed to crossing the Glorieta on foot, by horse, by oxdrawn vehicle or, more recently, by automobile, on a strictly every-man-for-himself basis. Even ilie Historical Society defended this ratiler sporting system.

"The engineers' tactful suggestion iliat a much-needed traffic circle would solve tile problem first was met witil consternation. Finally, however, gentle persuasion took effect and now the raised, landscaped circle is admired for its functional advantages as much as for its beauty. The two major sewers are completed and well hidden, and traffic flows in an orderly manner."

John's purpose is to band tl1ese ducks for ilie State Conservation Department to learn more about their migratory and breeding customs. As of March, John and his associates have only caught two in three years. One was sick and staggering along the beach and tl1e other was rendered flightless in an oil slick and brought in by a retriever. Don't blame ilie low score on John. Although tl1e scaup ranks high in members, it's way down the list in trapping for banding purposes. Hope you caught your third scaup, Jolm.

E. Wade Close Jr. 3254 Albert St. Royal Oak, Mich.

We were strictly from Weirdsville; it was the greatest, coolest - real gone!

The shindig entitled the "fifth" came off smoothly thanks to WILLIE LAPHAM and MOE THOMAS and tl1eir reunion committee. "Fun was had by all" is a well-worn phrase, but it was, oh, so true. The beatest of them all was no other tl1an BOB "Spider" SHAY whose garb and antics at the portable keyboard were frantic. Mary and JOHN PALSHAW were the grooviest couple and showed they really dig the cloud nine scene. Juiceville was located at Jarvis 8 and was supervised under tl1e watchful eyeball of GEORGE LU T. To be able to list all the men on hand would be impossible, however, we shall try to name as many as we can. BOB BEN ETT and DAVE LOGAN managed to say a few words to each other, and those who remember five years ago, this is a renewal of a regular occurrence.

Happily married DICK BITTNER spent the week-end trying to convince LA CE VARS of the advantages of the institution, but his comments fell upon deaf ears. CHARLES BRITTON and DICK McCREA arrived with a beautiful chaperone.

BOB HODES was one of the enthusiastic early arrivals to the reunion, as was politician BILL O'HARA who practiced his handshaking with each returning classmate. LEE LAHEY left his wife, Fran, home to take care of the growing family, and LINC HANSEL left his female fan club in New York to sulk until his return. DICK LEACH was his usual gay self as were PHIL TRUITT and DO PIERUCCI, who tried to find a needle in a haystack in the middle of the campus! FRANK LUBY reminisced of the good old days, witl1 SCOTT PRICE and fortunately did not try to relive them. Time has slowed some of our most illustrious collegiate swiftees such as HA K SCHEINBERG and DICK ZAMPIELLO, who furnished some great humor but on a more conservative basis than we had experienced before. ZAMP did not appreciate the wisecracks about his lack of hair.

GERRY S YDER travelled the farthest to join the festivities and proudly displayed one of his two baby boys. ED YEOMANS also produced his namesake who shows he will be built like a rock and follow in his father's athletic footsteps. DAVE H.OBERTS will have to pass on his sporting knowledge to his three daughters!

Bachelor BOB SIND, with briefcase in hand, told us of his new job as director of marketing for Edward Gottlieb and Associates. Other single men on the scene were DAN MILLER and KIT MORGAN. LUCKEY CALLEN, BRUCE WHITMA , and RON MOSS were joined by

their wives in the trip back for the big fifth. BOB MILLER handled all the funds, and we understand he has just returned from a trip to Hawaii!

We have a few news items to pass on, one concerning BOB COLLEDGE. Bob is now the pastor of the Church of the Messiah in Auburndale, Mass. MARTI MACK received a degree of Doctor of Philosophy last June from Ohio State University. JOHN FOLEY graduated in the same month from Cornell University Hotel Management School.
