I. Entered at the Post Office, at Providence, R. I., as second class matter, under the law of March 3, 1879 Are you using the ''BAROMETER" method in the care of your securities? A WEEK-END cruise in ■^^ Nantucket Sound, fine weather, and no visible sign of an impending storm. But what does this steadily fall- ing barometer mean? "I guess we'd better put about arid head for home," says Phil, and away they go. He had not disobeyed the baro- meter's warnings in earlier days without learning his les- son thoroughly. The next day he was safely housed, thinking about those who were caught in the storm because they hadn't heeded the warning. In the handling of invest- ments, graphic charts serve in much the same manner as barometers do when cruising. To the trained eye they dis- close significant changes in trends which escape the or- dinary observer, just as the barometer reveals to the mariner facts which his own senses can not detect. In our many years devoted to the care of securities, charts have been prepared which cover a wide range of investment securities. These charts which graphically record the course of issuing companies, warn us of com- ing storms and indicate ap- proaching calm as well. Upon them our course of action in handling investments is based. Preparation and mainte- nance of these "barometers" require a statistical organiza- tion. Are you able to use such a careful method in handling your securities? Or are you using the hit-or-miss method? Let us show you how we use the "barometer" method in caring for our customers' securities under Agency Ser- vice Accounts. raa .0A Rhode Island Hospital Trust Companij Pawtucket — Providence — Woonsocket We have no securities for sale M' BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Vol. XXXIV PROVIDENCE, R. I., NOVEMBER, 1933 No. 4 Brown's Youngest - - the Class of 1937 BY BRUCE M. BIGELOW, Director of Adrmssions WE believe that the Class of 1937 at Brown Univer- sity is an excellent first-year class. It consists of three hundred and ninety young men who were carefully selected by the Committee on Admissions from a considerably larger number of applicants for admission. It is equal in size to the average of the past ten years; only four entering clas.ses during that period have been larger. We believe that the Class of 1937 will be above the average in academic performance and the physical examination reports from the Division of University Health indicate that the Class meets our expectations from the standpoint of phy- sique and health. While the major portion of the detailed work related to admissions is done by Dean Clinton H. Currier, Chairman of the Committee on Admissions, and myself, we have had the benefit of advice and assistance from all of the officers of administration and from a large number of alumni through- out the country. We appreciate very greatly the growing interest of Brown alumni in the selection of the entering class each year. Brown Clubs and Brown men in every part of the country are rendering valuable service to the Univer- sity by assisting the Committee on Admissions to select the young men who are to be the Brown men of the future More than one column in the Brown Alumni Monthly would be required to list the names of those whose assistance has been invaluable. Work related to admissions is always fascinating, but the thrill is enhanced during periods of financial storm. Ad- mission officers are never sure of the size of the entering class until the day of registration. They know the number of applicants, they know how many have been accepted, and how many have been refused; they do not know how many will actually register. A bank failure in Michigan or a business reorganization in California may mean that one or more accepted students cannot enter college. There may be a record number of applications — this was true for Brown this year — but financial conditions may prevent the attendance of a large number. Not only did Brown University have a larger number of applications for admission to the Freshman class than ever before, but we also received more applications than usual for admission on advanced standing. Notwithstanding the large number of applications for transfer to Brown Univer- sity from other institutions, relatively few such applications are accepted — less than five per cent of the total number applying. As a matter of strict admissions policy. Brown does not accept tor admission by transfer any student who is not in good standing, academically and otherwise, in the college from which he seeks to transfer. GEOGR.^PHIC DISTRIBUTION BROWN University is a New England college and has always drawn the majority of her students from New England. She probably will continue to do so in the future. On the other hand. Brown has a history of national prom- inence in education and attracts students from all parts of the country. It is a part of our admissions policy to main- tain this national character. In periods of business depres- sion colleges usually become more provincial so far as the composition of the student body is concerned. It is there- fore a little surprising and not at all displeasing that we have in our Freshman class a slightly wider geographic distribu- tion than a year ago. The distribution is as follows : Massachusetts 86 Providence 68 Rhode Island (outside of Providence) 62 New York 66 Connecticut 30 New Jersey 2 3 Pennsylvania 14 Middle West 25 Other New England 5 South 5 Far West i West Indies 1 390 SCHOOL DISTRIBUTION Brown University endeavors to have a fairly even bal- ance between the number coming from public and private schools. The fact that this year there was a decided increase in the public school enrollment throughout the country and a corresponding decrease in the private school enrollment had some effect upon this distribution in the entering class. Number entering from Public High Schools: New England 175 Outside New England 54 229 Number entering from Private Schools: New England 87 Outside New England 73 Privatelv tutored 1 160 1 Total 390 In other words, 58.9% of the Class of 1937 came to us from public schools and 41.1% from private schools. Last year 53.5% came from the public and 46.5% from the pri- vate schools to the Class of 1936. 79 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY PERSONNEL ONE of the most salient facts as regards the personnel of the Class of 1937 is that 38 members are the sons of alumni. This we believe to be a record number. We also understand that this proportion is unusually high for col- leges throughout the country. Another example of alumni loyalty to Brown! (A group picture of these Brown sons of Brown fathers appears in this issue.) The Class of 1937 is an average class so far as their choice of prospective careers is concerned. Law, medicine, engi' neering, and teaching are popular as ever, but so also is business. The optimism of youth is never dampened for long. It will be noted, however, with significance, that only two Freshmen are planning to enter that particular field of business known as brokerage. The class distribution follows: Advertising 4 Architecture 3 Banking 6 Brokerage 2 Business 1 5 Chemistry 15 Coaching 1 Dentistry 1 Diplomatic Service 2 Engineering 40 Forestry 1 Geology 1 Importing 1 Insurance 6 Journalism 1 3 Law 52 Manufacturing 4 Medicine 51 Military Service 1 Ministry 3 Real Estate 1 Teaching 26 Theater Management 1 Undecided "^ 140 390 The average age of our Freshman classes changes little from year to year. This year it is 18 years and 8 months. The youngest boy is 16 years and 2 months, and the oldest 24 years and 1 1 months. The average is always raised slightly by a few boys who postpone college until after several years in business. Incidentally, this type of student is usually an excellent risk. We have discovered that English, History, and Mathe- matics have been the most popular courses in preparatory schools. When asked the reason for his particular choice, a Freshman usually names a teacher who has caught his imagination. Such an answer follows almost without ex- ception. THERE are in every Freshman class colorful personalities too numerous to mention. One person worthy of spe- cial mention this year, however, is a young man who has never attended public or private school. This lad, son of a high school Latin teacher, has literally taught himself. His tutors were his parents, who attempted mainly to give guidance. He entered Brown by the College Entrance Examination Board method and had honor ratings in the majority of his examinations, including the Scholastic Apti- tude Test. We shall watch his progress at Brown with great interest, but at heart those of us dependent for our livelihood upon teaching will be glad there aren't many students of such phenomenal ability. Certain other boys we shall watch with particular inter- est. In this class, as in the last Freshman class, are five John Hay Scholars, holders of full tuition scholarships. Also in this class are the winners of the Chicago Brown Club Prize Scholarship and the Providence Brown Club Prize Scholarship. Four Californians are in the Class of 1937. These young men crossed the continent to come to Providence inspired by the enthusiasm of Mr. E. A. Adams of the Class of 1912. There's alumni spirit for you! We hope and expect that the Class of 1937 is as good as its immediate predecessors. The Class of 1936 was not only a strong class, as judged by the undergraduates, but was also rated high by the Faculty, for their academic aver- age last year was higher than the general average for Fresh' man classes. The boys in the Class of 1937 may not be as wonderful as their mothers tell us they are. We are not educating several hundred future presidents, but we believe that we have a Freshman class in which Brown men can take real pride. One of the most gratifying features of admissions work is that Freshmen soon develop a profound admiration and respect for Brown's history and traditions and a strong loyalty to the University. During the years of my contact with Brown I have never seen a more enthusiastic student body, a student body with more wholesome pride in the University, than we have right now. There is no secret formula for this. The Brown spirit is the result of remark- able cooperation between the Corporation, Faculty, Ad- ministration, Alumni, and Undergraduates. Two Freshmen from Afar FROM distant lands come two of Brown's Freshmen this year: Andres Alejandro Pastoriza, Jr., whose home is in Santo Domingo City, Dominican Republic, West Indies; and James Francis Brown Henry of Canton, China. Pas- toriza enters Brown from the Silver Bay School, Silver Bay, N. Y., having received honor grades during his three years at the school. His father is a former member of the Cabinet of the Dominican Republic and a prominent merchant in Santo Domingo City. Henry is the son of Dr. James Mc- Clure Henry, formerly President of Lingnan University when it was known as Canton Christian College. He enters Brown from the Shanghai American School and Peekskill Military Academy, at the latter institution having played soccer and lacrosse and served as second lieutenant in the battalion. A Full Time Publicity Officer IN the spring of 1931 a young Herald man was busy writ- ing editorials on the theme that Brown University was not getting the publicity she deserved and that something should be done about it. The point had been very properly made before, but the young man was urging rather force- fully the necessity of hiring a full-time publicity man as a part of any productive program. This fall the young man, Stanton P. Nickerson '31, returns to the Hill to devote his entire time as assistant to the Vice President in charge of publicity, for the Adminis- 80 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY tration has drawn funds from its restricted budget to per- mit his activities. He is already installed in Faunce House and at work on his task with the Administration confident of his qualifications. "We feel that the Administration has made a wise choice," commented the Herald, "in the selection of a Brown man who, while only several years out of the ranks of the undergraduates on the campus, has already developed wide experience in journalism." Smce his graduation Mr. Nick- erson has been a member of the staff of the Citizen-Daily- Register of Ossining, N. Y., and has written feature stories for some of the New York City papers. The son of the late Lester W. Nickerson "02, he entered Brown from the William Penn Charter School of Philadelphia. He majored in English at Brown, was a member of the swimming team, Glee Club, Sock and Buskin, Philosophy, literary editor of the Brown Jug. a special writer for the Herald. In its editorial approving of the Administration's choice, the Herald also took occasion to praise the excellent service of A. H. Gurney, Alumni Secretary, "who in the midst of a multiplicity of duties has carried on the work of publicity for many years." Alumni everywhere will concur in this sentiment. In an early issue the Alumni Monthly hopes to have an article by Mr. Nickerson on his hopes and program for Brown publicity. It is a topic in which Alumni throughout the country have long had a lively, even militant interest.

White '00 was elected a life memher ot the Brown University Corporation at its annual fall meeting on October 18, succeeding Daniel W. Aber- crombie of Worcester, who resigned in 1931. Dr. Hermon Carey Bumpus '84 was re-elected secretary of the Corpora- tion, while Comptroller Edwin A. Burlingame was named acting treasurer to serve until a permanent successor is chosen to the late Col. Frank W. Matteson '92, who died in August. Four men who took their places for the first time as new members of the Board of Trustees were : Charles Evans Hughes, Jr., "09 of New York, Clifford Spence Anderson '00 of Worcester, Henry C. Hart '01 of Providence, and Warren Randolph Burgess '12 of New York. Other new members of the Corporation who attended were Lawrence Ralston Thomas of Providence, a Trustee, and Dr. Waldo Gifford Leland '00 of Washington, a Fellow. With Mr. Hughes' accession to the Corporation there are now three sons serving with their fathers: Charles Evans Hughes '81 and Charles Evans Hughes, Jr.; Zechariah Chafee '8(1 and Zechariah Chafee, Jr., "07; and Edgar Lewis Marston and Hunter S. Marston '08. The Second Class to Insure LAST month the Alumni Monthly told of the experiment , whereby the class of 1905 has sought to make its con- tribution to the University's endowment through the me- dium of life insurance. Now we learn that the class of 193 3 has undertaken a similar project. It is attempting to under- Vi'nte a group insurance policy for $10,000 which would mature at the time of the class's 25th reunion. Before they left the campus last June, more than 100 members of the class signed pledges to contribute toward that end and have raised part of the sum already. Under the scheme, which has actuarial and University approval, 10 robust members of the class will be selected and the class will take out a special endowment policy of $1000 each with them as the instrument, making the total of $10,000 which the class will thus indirectly give to Brown. Should any of the members thus insured die before the maturity of the contract, the University will receive the $1000 immediately, and the group premium would also be reduced automatically. Three Professors Honored THREE members of the Faculty of Brown University were installed last month as Fellows of the Amencan Academy of Arts and Sciences at a meeting in Boston : Professor Henry Thatcher Fowler of the Department of Biblical Literature and History; Professor Curt John Du- casse of the Department of Philosophy and Professor Hans Kurath of the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. With the election of these three, there are now sixteen members of the Faculty of Brown University who are Fel- lows of the American Academy, namely: Professors Clar- ence R. Adams, Raymond C. Archibald, Carl Barus, Al- bert A. Bennett, Leonard Carmichael, Edmund B. Dela- barre. Curt J. Ducasse, Henry T. Fowler, Charles A. Kraus, Hans Kurath, Robert B. Lindsay, Albert D. Mead, William A. Noyes, Jr., R. G. D. Richardson, Horatio E. Smith, and Jacob D. Tamarkin. A[atned Presiding Justice JUDGE Kenneth L. N.-\sh '12 is now presiding justice of the District Court of East Norfolk, Mass., having been named to the place last month by Governor Ely. He became a special justice of the court in 1918 by appointment of Governor McCall and served in that office until his recent promotion. For the past two years he has also been Town Counsel of Weymouth, Mass., as well as the successful coach of the Tufts baseball team. "Despite his comparative youth," said the ^uincy Patriot Ledger, "Judge Nash has had a long career of public service, during which he has been State Representative, State Sena- tor, Town Counsel, and Special Justice. Aside from his pubhc career, he has been a practising attorney for many years, and a professional baseball player w^ith service in both of the big leagues and in the minor circuits." As many Brown men will recall. Judge Nash played with the St. Louis Nationals and then with the Cleveland Indians after he left college. One of his special justices is Kenneth D. Johnson '19, and Johnson says: "Naturally I am delighted to have as my chief a Brown man and particularly a Brown man like Ken Nash." Of Sweden's Royal Gustav Handsomely made in all respects, a copy of Gustav V's biography has become the property of the John Hay Library, the gift of C. Kingsley Macomber. The volume is one of 250 specially bound and sent to the LInited States by the Swedish King. .-/i'.T^ ■ THE roH\ H.'VT LIBRARr ahvyftjv- 82 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY The Prosecutor Laughs I CAN take care of myself," said Enemy of Public Enemies Joseph B. Keenan '10, laughing at reports that his life had been threatened by the underv.'orld last month. Because Bailey, "Machine Gun" Kelly, and other hoodlum charac- ters had been put away behind the bars after Keenan had convicted them of kidnaping, their pals are said to have added their warnings to the burden of crank mail that has been his since he went to Washington to take charge of Federal racket and kidnaping investigations. But he has had threats before this, first for his robust war on Cleveland crime after his return from service in France. Keenan was given a police escort in Atlantic City last month when he was there to address the annual congress of the American Prison Association. Mr. Keenan has lately been named Assistant Attorney General. Add Judsoniana OO. McIntyre was among those who noted the ♦ passing of the old Judson Hotel, so long a serene literary landmark in New York's Washington Square. A paragraph in his syndicated column on Gotham included the following obituary matter: "It was unpretentious, with a self-devised saga and that nebulous friendliness dubbed 'atmosphere.' At varying periods it housed Edwin Arlington Robinson, Frank Nor- ris, Ridgely Torrence, Isaac F. Marcossen, William Johns- ton, and others. It was named for the first American foreign missionary." Few Brunonians were aware, it is likely, that this Green- wich Village rendezvous had been named out of respect for Adoniram Judson, 1807. For Gallantry Under Fire JOHN L. Gammell '15, Captain F.A., U.S.A., now on J duty in Philadelphia as artillery instructor with the Pennsylvania National Guard, recently received the silver star citation for gallantry in action on the Marne during the World War. He was then with headquarters of the field artillery brigade with the famous Third Division. The citation said in part: "While acting as information officer and operations officer. Third Field Artillery Brigade, Lieut. Gammell made frequent visits to the advanced infantry and artillery positions through areas swept by a heavy enemy artillery fire and obtained valuable information concerning the enemy movement and disposition." For the Road to Alas\a HERBERT H. Rice '92 of Detroit is a member of the Federal Commission which, after three years of study, has recommended to President Franklin D. Roosevelt the construction of an improved highway connecting Seattle, Wash., with Fairbanks, Alaska. The distance is 2,250 miles. The commission says that the road can be built at a reason- able cost and is justified from an economic standpoint. As a large part of the proposed road is in Canada, there must be negotiations between the two countries before any con- struction can start. The commission holds that such a highway would in- crease population along the route ; would benefit Americans living in Alaska; would open new country for settlement; would foster air commerce with Alaska by furnishing a guiding landmark; and would promote friendly relations between Americans and Canadians. Would End Mission Subsidy for Japan A Report asking an end to foreign subsidies for mission- ary work in Japan has been made public by Albert L. Scott '00, chairman of the Laymen's Foreign Missions In- quiry. "Our commission is convinced that the time has come when the Japanese church should be an independent, indigenous church," says the report. "The denominational character of the church in Japan should disappear and the aim should be to discover the universal and essential fea- tures of Christian life and thought and service. The time has come for the Japanese people to have the leadership in working out the type of church and the form of Christianity which fit their stage of life and thought as a people." The Relative Modesty of Parchments SERGE KousSEViTZKY having been 10 years director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the anniversary was marked last month by the display of memorabilia in Sym- phony Hall. They reveal the honors conferred upon the conductor, including his first honorary degree, that of Doc- tor of Music from Brown University in 1926. "As interesting as it is rare," writes H. T. P. of the Bos- ton Transcript, "is the parchment from Harvard University that honored Koussevitzky with the degree of Doctor of Laws — presumably musical. . . . Beside it are the more modest parchment from Brown University, and two certi- ficates more modest still, that made the conductor an officer and chevalier of the Legion of Honor."

Polya of the University of Zurich, Dr. Otto Hahn of Berlin, and Professor M. Gut of Zurich, Father of the Electives THE adoption of the elective system in American college education is generally attributed to Harvard College, and especially to President Eliot. It is interesting, therefore, to note that the latter gentleman acknowledged the fact that the first efforts along the line of this reform were those of President Wayland of Brown. Dr. Eliot spoke of this pioneering work in a speech before the Harvard Club of Rhode Island in 1885, now reprinted in the "^Oth anni- versary booklet of that club. "My coming here," said the Har\'ard president, "reminds me of the great debt we owe to Dr. Francis Wayland, for- merly President of Brown University. He labored to intro- duce the elective system into Brown University 35 years ago; and he succeeded in introducing it. Forty-three years ago he published a little book called "Thoughts on the Pres- ent Collegiate System in the United States": and no one ever stated with greater clearness the evil effects of a pre- scribed curriculum on both teacher and student. 85 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY "He had the sagacity to discern and point out the fact that the growth of the New England colleges had not kept pace with the growth of the New England population. Dr. Wayland pointed out the true cause of this decline of the New England colleges - namely, that they supplied an article in education, the demand for which was diminishing. Most of the American colleges are still doing the very thing that Dr. Wayland warned us against 35 years ago. "In 1850 he introduced the free election of studies by undergraduates. He said that a student at Brown Univer- sity might choose all his studies, and pursue only those which he wished to pursue. It was very unfortunate for the college that his health failed, and his successor re-established the prescribed curriculum. "It has been customary to say that his experiment failed. It would be more accurate to say that the experiment was abandoned. When the future historian of the elective sys- tem writes an orderly and full account of its rise and prog- ress, he will give a high place, among the men who served that cause, to President Francis Wayland." FATHER 0¥ THE £L£CT!V£ SYSTEM President Wayland Was Given His Due in Dr, E/iot's Talk Founder of Harvard Medical School H.\RVARD University's oldest professional school, the medical school, celebrating the 150th anniversary of its founding, paid homage to one of its three founders, a man to whom Brown University was also deeply indebted. Dr. Benjamin Waterhouse, as Irving A. Beck '32 reminds us, was Professor of Natural History at Brown from 1781 to 1791 and a member of the Board of Fellows from 1782 to 1795. He is famous to doctors as the first physician to introduce vaccination into this country. Beck recalls that the late Dr. W. W. Keen '59 ("a com- petent authority if there ever was one") declared Dr. Waterhouse "the most highly educated physician of his day." In this connection it is pertinent to look again at a letter addressed to the Alumni Monthly by Dr. Keen in 1926. His communication had been prompted by a paper on "Benjamin Waterhouse, American Pioneer," which had just been read in Geneva before the International Congress Oi Medical History. Wrote Dr. Keen : "Waterhouse served on the Faculty of Brown (then Rhode Island College) from 17S4 to 1791 as Professor of Natural History. He was the fourth member of the Fac- ulty. He not only taught his classes, but in 1785 and 1786 (according to Dr. Courtney) or in 1786 and 1787 (accord- ing to Professor Bronson) gave two courses of public lec- tures in University Hall — which lectures, he pointed out, were the 'first of their kind in the new world.' "Later he gave apparently the same course of lectures for 20 years at Harvard, for in the John Carter Brown Library there is an undated syllabus of the lectures at Brown and Har\'ard. "Jenner's first vaccination was done on May 14, 1796, on James Phipps, a boy eight years of age. As soon as Water- house received authentic information of the value of vac- cination he obtained some of the vaccine matter from Lon- don and vaccinated his own son, a boy five years old. "Waterhouse was a nephew of the celebrated Dr. John Fothergill of London, whose name appears on our roll as one of the early benefactors of the College through Morgan Edwards, then in England soliciting funds for the young institution." Equality for ATurria! and Man A STUDENT who dared be impudent on the subject of the Equality of Man back in 1791 must have been a brave one indeed, as well as one humorously-minded. Herman Daggett, candidate for his A. M. in those early days of the College, proposed the heretical doctrine that animals should have equal rights with mankind. A small, stained pamphlet, believed the only original copy in existence, contains this shocking treatise and is lately the property of the John Hay Library as the result of a gift. Professor David Howell, who officiated at the 1791 Com- mencement, because the College was without a President at the moment, was not amused by Daggett's satire. "And let me here caution you never to ridicule whatever may be held sacred by any devout and judicious man," he said. "If you cannot join with him, at least do not disturb him by your irreverence." Daggett, who had received his bachelor's de- gree in 1788 with Brown's 14th class, did receive his A.M., however. He became well known as a teacher, principal, and preacher in New York State and Connecticut. 86 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY For the Brown Man's Bookshelf IT Stands to be one of the hits of the year, to win both popular and critical ap- proval." This was the way the book reviewer of the T^ew Tor\ Times ended his notice of "Miss Lonely Hearts" by Nathanael West (New York: Livcright. Pp. 213. $2.). West is Nathan Weinstein, "24. The book tells the story of a youn^ man of Puritan ancestry who takes up news- paper work and is forced to write the love- lorn column and solve broken hearts. In- stead of finding contempt for those who write to him, he finds himself overcome with sympathy for them. Their letters "get" him, and he becomes sick from the strain. His hard-boiled managing editor takes it all as a joke, but "Miss Lonely Hearts" mixes more and more in the lives of his correspondents. It is humorous writing, but not of the wise-cracking sort. It doesn't stem directly from any contemporary school of American humor. Indeed, the reviewer quoted above found a kinship between West and Swift, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy. The book is highly recommended. Proving a Convict Innocent IN "Open and Shut," a story of a legal error set aright, Edward Sefton Porter, "19, draws abundantly upon his experiences as Supervisor of Investigation under the Deputy Chief Probation Officer in the Court of General Sessions, New York City. The novel, published by Christopher ($2.50), has a melodramatic plot whose unfolding has more than the ordinary share of excitement. One of the most vivid inci- dents is built around the Tombs Prison break of a few years ago, in the middle of which Mr. Porter found himself. Other phases of criminal, police, and probation activity are woven into the story, which has distinct cinematic possibilities. Mr. Porter was the author of the fir.-.t undergraduate play which Sock and Buskin produced and has had his writings pro- duced professionally as well. After four years on the stage, chiefly with Jane Cowl, he entered the probation field in New York and has investigated the lives of hundreds of convicted criminals in the last seven years. Light on Mora! Laws MOR.^L Laws," by Edgar Shefiield Bnghtman, '06 (New York, The Abingdon Press, 1933), is an elementary, clear and enlightening treatment of basic ethical problems. Professor Brightman formulates the moral laws which he finds essential to Ethics as a normative science. The analysis is scholarly, and well docu- mented, with an outline of the history of the subject and a useful bibliography of relevant works in English and German appended. Readers of Mr. Brightman's previous works will not be surprised to learri that a "Law of the Ideal of Person- ality" is the crown and climax of the sys- tem. The book should prove a helpful in- troduction to current academic discussions, although its relation to .specific problems of conduct is somewhat remote.

A Clironicle of Connecticut THE years from 1818 to 1850 are no longer "A Neglected Period of Con- necticut's History." Under that title Dr. Jarvis Means Morse of Brown has com- pleted a study of his native state during that picturesque era. It has just been pub- lished as No. XXV of the Yale Historical Publications and jointly sponsored by the Yale University Press and the Oxford Uni- versity Press. (Pp. 3 59. $3.50). That im- print is guarantee of fine scholarship, as reading further bears out. "For the greater part of the nineteenth century, Connecticut remained a thor- oughly conservative community whose peo- ple retained their traditional antipathy to change of any sort," Dr. Morse concluded after searching the State archives at Hart- ford, papers in the historical societies, and the collections of Yale University. Yet we must not conclude from such a statement that these were dull times. Nor does the chronicle of them lose anything in the re- lating, for the historian here is a good story- teller as well as scholar. His style is most readable. While much of his concern is political and economical, he does not ignore the humanitarian stirrings. Indeed, from the standpoint of the casual reader some of the most interesting episodes are those of pri- son reform. Miss Crandall's Canterbury school, and the slaves who mutinied aboard the Amistad. The period begins conven- iently with the inauguration of the State Constitution and ends somewhat abruptly at mid-century. Restating the Law of Contracts BROWN alumni have played such a large part in the preparation of the "Con- tracts Restatement," recently published by the American Law Institute, that it is of interest to record their names. The work, including the several State Annotations to it, is of such a monumental character that the whole legal profession has been keenly interested. Zechariah Chafee, Jr. '07, of the Harvard Law School, was one of the committee which prepared the Restatement, and Brown men headed some of the State sub- committees. Judson A. Crane '05, of the University of Pittsburgh Law School, pre- pared the Pennsylvania Annotations. The original undertaking of the Rhode Island annotations was due mainly to the efforts of Governor Theodore Francis Green '87, who is chairman of the Rhode Island Bar Association Committee ap- pointed to co-operate with the American Law Institute. Governor Green signed the foreword of the book. Gurney Edwards '18 personally prepared the annotations under the auspices of the bar association. On the committee with Governor Green were Frank L. Hinckley '91, William W. Moss '94, Clifford Whip- ple '95. A sub-committee of this commit- tee on the subject of contracts consisted entirely of Brown men: William W. Moss, chairman, John H. Slattery'Ol, former pres- ident of the Rhode Island Bar Association, E. Butler Moulton '07, and Gurney Ed- wards. The American Law Institute is a national organization under the presidency of Elihu Root. It IS made up of nationally promi- nent lawyers who, in co-operation with law professors throughout the country, are at- tempting to codify and make more uniform in the various States the common law in such important fields as contracts, agency, torts, and the like. Corliss Biographers George W. Richardson "25 was co- author with Professor James A. Hall '08 of the Division of Engineering of the feature article in the July number of Me- chanical Engineering, the title of which was "George H. Corliss: One of the Leading Pioneers in the Development of Power Generation from Watt to the Present Day." Since leaving college, Richardson has been a mechanical engineer with the Sayles Fin- 87 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY ishing Company and the Brown 6? Sharpe Mfg. Company, and has done graduate work at Brown. His study of Corliss, a re- markable engineering figure of his genera- tion, has been a fascinating one and has brought out a great deal of biographical material. He Inspired MaeterUnc\ MEMBERS of the class of 1895 at Brown," said the Providence Journal in a re- cent editorial, "who have been at- tracted by the fame of the writer or the lure of the subject to read Maeterlinck's little volume, 'The Magic of the Stars,' have no- ticed with pleasure the respect paid by the great Belgian author to their classmate, John lilof Boodin, now professor of philosophy in the University ot California, at Los An- geles. After mentioning Whitehead and Alexander as founders of what he calls 'cosmogonic metaphysics' — interpretation of the inner meaning of the universe — Maeter- linck presents as a third name that of Pro- fessor Boodin, and devotes nearly a page to commendation and criticism of his work. "Maeterlinck was concerned with Boodin's volume, "Cosmic Evolution,' published in 1925. He calls it 'a splendid attempt to com- bine all the most recent discoveries in mathe- matics, physics and chemistry into one vast, comprehensive and, as he says, 'cosmic' synthesis." He goes on to say that this work ■oilers a quantity of new ideas and ingenious suggestions, some of them indeed so pro- found that they weave together, under a sudden, startling light, many of the most recent pronouncements of the three or four sciences that now govern our _earth.' "This surely is great praise," the editorial went on, "but its author qualifies it by doubting some of Boodin's affirmations, and he cannot follow him into what he charac- terizes as the clouds of religion or senti- ment." After citing several of Maeterlinck's quotations from Boodin, the editorial con- cluded: "These quotations will indicate not only the lofty plane of our Swedish-Ameri- can philosopher's thought, hut also the es- teem which it has aroused in the continent which can claim his birth, if not his adop- tion, higher education, and professional activity." * * * Duncan Norton-Taylor '26 had a short story, "Time for Revenge," in Collier's for October 21, and we found it lively reading. "Legs Last Just So Long" by Quentin J. Reynolds '24 was another good yarn in the same periodical during the summer. * * * Harold Seidman '3 3, one of the editors of the Brown Daily Herald and a force be- hind its "War Against War" campaign, de- scribed the peace movement in the colleges and added his views in an article written for The T^ation. * * ;^ "Greyhounds of the Sea" by Carl C. Cutler '03 tells the story of the American clipper ship in fascinating style. His next book will probably be a history of the Mallory family, the members of which have been identified with ships and shipping since Colonial times. Mr. Cutler has been elected a director of the Marine Historical Association, Inc., of Mystic, Conn., of which he is secretary and a member of the publications committee. Professor John W. M.

After wide experience in the maga- zine field he is now bringing out a publica- tion called "The National Purchasing Agent." Under the Elms BT THE CUB ■'Tn Memoriam" was the heading of a I Brou'ii Daily Herald editorial on the morning after the fiasco of the flag-rush. "The Daily Herald announces with regret the passing of Class Spirit from the campus of Brown University," it continued. "Fu- tile efforts on the part of the Cammarian Club yesterday afternoon failed to revive the deceased, and once more the Soph- omore-Freshman flag-rush proved a miser- able failure from every standpoint. "Remaining traces of prep school enthu- siasm caused a small portion of the Class of 1937 to appear, but not even the merest semblance of an organized group appeared to represent those who have had the benefit of one whole year in an institution of high- er education. Let us hope that future Cam- marian Clubs will see fit to inter this spectre which has been dead for years." The Freshmen gave a Bronx cheer for their absent rivals, marched up Thayer street in triumph, laid the pole across the lap of Marcus Aurelius, and tied the red bandanna around his thumb. It was sup- posed to remind him to speak to the Soph- omores. * * * Collegiate pennants, crossroad sign-posts, and other interior decorations of an older sort are giving way to Matisse, Picasso, Rembrandt, Holbein, Daumier, and the Japanese under a Lending Library of Fa- mous Prints assembled by the University Art Department. Mounted and framed, these reproductions are lent to undergrad- uates for their walls, the loan period being three weeks and the rental fee being 25 cents a semester. THE "lowly state of the Freshman" seems to have become a thing of the past. Of the host of rules and regulations that made him feel that he was a very minor member of campus society in years gone by, only two remain for the Class of 1937. Today's Freshman must wear the traditional cap. He must sit in the cheering section at all football games, the idea being that the other undergraduates like to have someone else do the cheering for them while they attend to pressing social duties. To see that these rigid regulations are observed to the letter a Vigilance Committee of 15 Sophomores has been appointed by the Cammarian Club, and vested with police powers extraordinary. Presumably the 1 5 can appoint special deputies and other con- stables in case the Freshmen rebel at their wretched existence. The 39th Freshman was disappointed the other morning when he picked up the paper to see the group picture that was to have included him. The sons of sons of Brown had assembled on John Carter Brown steps and posed for the photographer when it was discovered that they were one too many Some Freshman, passing and seeing class- mates before a camera, volunteered to add charm to the picture and stood in without anyone noticing him at first. In checking over names and faces, the extra face was found, however, and painted out in the retouching. A BIG MAN on the campus is cited as hav- ing returned to college this fall with an Austin. Parked on Waterman street one of the nights before college opened, it was spied by a group of wandering Fresh- men out in search of evaporated Soph- omores. The Austin seemed fair game. Having already heard how undergraduates once made themselves famous by taking a certain cow up in a certain building years ago, they thought it time the incident were brought up to date. The Austin was picked up by its rear and wheeled wheel-barrow fashion into the middle campus and started on its way into Rogers Hall. The big man on the campus, attending an important meeting at the time, was in- formed of what was happening, and he and his fellow big men on the campus ad- journed their meeting to have a word with these young whippersnappers. The Fresh- men were addressed: V/hy didn't they grow up? They were out of high school. If they had to have some fun, why didn't they rout out some Sophomores and put them under the pump? At any rate they had better wise up and leave alone the things belonging to a member of the Cam- marian Club. "With this last statement," writes Her- ald Colyumist Ananias, who recorded the incident, "it was felt all around that some impression had been made, for silence reigned supreme." With a word or two more of advice, the big men on the campus turned to leave. But a lingering doubt found expression just then, which shattered the dignity of the retreat. Said the in- spired Freshman: "But how do we know that you guys aren't Sophomores playing a trick on us?" It isn't often that one has the opportunity these days to see the whole University on parade, but there was just that sight on October 2, the day of the NRA demonstra- tion in Providence. Brown made a splendid showing and was applauded the length of the line of march. With the Brown Band leading off. President Barbour and most of the Faculty marched with the student body. All afternoon classes on the day of the parade were suspended to permit the turn- out of all undergraduates. Confides a Brown Dailv Herald gossip colyumist: "President Barbour always car- ries his own health bread in his pocket when he eats out, society or elsewhere. And he always eats grapefruit." 88 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Era's End at Saunders House SAUNDERS House has been host to its last Brown Re- union, we are told. Having thrived for a generation, the Saunderstown hotel, scene of many a Commencement gath- ering (usually of the 20-year class), is to be torn down as having "outlived its era." The sentimental recollections of a succession of Brown classes do not make up for losses, blamed on the changing habits of summer vacationers. According to J. L. Rodman and his wife, who have oper- ated Saunders House for 21 of its 43 years, motoring has killed the old summer hotel business. Instead of settling for the season, vacationers keep on the move, rest at tour- ist cabin camps, or pick the flashier hotels. Mr. and Mrs. Rodman will, however, continue to operate the Willow Cottage adjoining the hotel. The carpentry of the old house is said to have been re- markable, due to the fact that ship's carpenters from the adjoining shipyard were employed. They put the hotel together as sturdily as a sailing vessel, one of the marvel's being the expanse of the ballroom, which has no supporting steel girders. Builders are much interested in this con- struction and will study it when the house reveals the secret craft of the ship carpenters. Admiral Dewey was among the notable guests, stopping at Saunders House w-hen he was at the height of his fame, and his chair still bears his name, carved by Dr. George A. Matteson '96. Among those who were looked upon as regu- lars each summer were Alfred Updike Eddy '79, William A. 'Viall '84, Henry S. Newcomb '40, and Alonzo R. Williams '00. Owen Wister, Grant La Farge, and Mrs. Rudyard Kipling were others to experience the hospitality of the house. The class of 1903 was probably the last of reunion classes there. Superior to the Government's BETTER than the Government's own is the collection of United States stamps which have come to Brown Uni- versity as a legacy from Col. Webster Knight '76, says H. L. Lindquist in Stamps, a weekly magazine of Philately. It is, he writes, "one of the outstanding collections of its kind in the world, and includes practically all of the known blocks of United States in unused condition." It would be practically impossible to duplicate the Knight collection, it is said, for most of the missing items are not know-n to exist. Stamps issued by the Confederate States and a selection of United States Revenue stamps are also included. The bequest was made on condition that the collection be placed on permanent public exhibition, an endowment fund of $50,000 being provided for maintenance and care. The only other important collections of United States stamps on permanent public exhibition are the Government collection in the Smithsonian in Washington and a collection of one stamp in the New York Public Library. Brunonia Plays the Game Brown 26, R. I. State THERE was a key to the season in the very first game, for the hacks served notice immediately that fhey were a speedy lot and the team showed that it must develop if the defense were to match the offense. The starting backs and their successors all had their share in long slices off tackle and runs around the end that led to the four touchdowns against a State College team that came to Providence with far higher hopes than usual. In the center of the line, how- ever, the forwards were not opening the holes they should have, but they showed a willingness that gave promise. They are a lighter group of linesmen than in several seasons. Captain Buonanno and Walker, Sophomore, who started in a reserve post, each had two touchdowns to their credit, but Spinney, Karaban, Hart, Lear, and Allen all showed their reliability. Spinney in particular contributed some beautiful runs, one of them for 52 yards carrying him across the goal line only to have the play nullified by a penalty for offside. Brown threatened the State line right at the outset, but lost the ball on downs after penetrating to the 18-yard line. A 58-yard march, featured by charges by Karaban and a 20-yard slice by Allen, led to a score before the end of the period. Buonanno went over standing up from the eight- yard line. A procession of penalties, most of them for over- eagerness, dulled the spectacle in the second quarter, but there was another touchdown when Spinney ran back a punt 33 yards and Walker, aided by a handsome take-out by Caito, outstepped his opponents with a 43 -yard scoring run. It was not until the last quarter that Brown scored again, although she made her threats in the third only to have the marches halted, once on the eight-yard line and once on the 15 -yard line. From their 1 1-yard line the Brunonians trav- eled for their third counter, Karaban contributing 25 yards to the total and Buonanno's 5 5-yard sprint adding the cap. A quick kick by Walker having driven the State eleven back into its own territory shortly after. Brown took the ball again on the visitors' 36-yard line and shook Walker loose through tackle to go the last 25 yards. Brown made 16 first downs to State's 5, and gained 377 yards by rushing to 81. Brown's starters had been: Harrie Hart, I.e.; Olson, l.t.; Patton, l.g. ; Batchelder, c; Capasso, r.g.; Larry Brown, r.t.; Caito, r.e.; Buonanno, q.; Henry Hart, l.h.; Dave Allen, r.h.; and Karaban, f. Reserve backs were Spinney, Lear, Walker, O'Reilly, Appleyard, Neal, Groce, Kelly, and Kass. In the line the following saw duty: John Allen, Mignone, Etchings, Johnson, Butler, Summerfield, Towle, Lynch, Emery, Broomhead, Sayward, Dunn, Hand, Kuhn, and Payne. Brown J 3, Springfield 6 FOR the second year in succession Springfield furnished determined opposition and yielded only by the margin of a single touchdown. Before the game was over, however. Spinney vv'as on his way to the hospital with head and jaw injuries which will keep him from the fray at least until the Harvard game. He had played a brilliant game, setting the 89 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY stage for the winning touchdown in the last period with a 34'yard run. Brown had scored first on one of the prettiest forwards the stadium has ever seen, a toss of nearly 50 yards from Karaban to Buonanno at the very outside edge of the end zone. It was the finale of a 75 -yard advance in the first period. It was on a pass, too, that Springfield made its touchdown after the line had been forced back eight yards from the Brown eight-yard marker, where a home fumble had been recovered. The Brunonians showed little of the prowess with which they were to thrill the stands the following week at New Haven. Play was intermittently good and bad, both on the attack and defense. Brov.'n had 14 first downs to Spring- field's 9, gaining 292 yards rushing to the opposition's 201. Promise of a forward passing weapon was disclosed, how- ever, when four passes of seven attempts were completed for a gain of 79 yards. Among the curious plays was the try for the extra point after Brown's second score. The kick was wide, but Spring- field was offside and the ball was put on the l!/2-yard line for another attempt. This time Walker carried the ball over from scrimmage, but Brown was offside. Karaban's kick was good on the third essay. Tale 14, Brown 6 A Brown team whose courage was not matched by its luck met its first defeat this season at the hands of the Yale Bulldog on October 2 1 . Yale capitalized its only two opportunities to score and sent Lassiter over twice to lead the Bruins 14-6. Of Brown's four scoring chances, only one succeeded. In outkicking Yale 12 yards a punt, gaining 15 first downs and 2'as involved in con- troversies in Brown games with Dartmouth in 1927, Colgate in 1932, and Harvard in 1924, other "games in which more alert officiating might conceivably have altered the result of each game." While many Brown men agreed v^'ith Coach McLaughry 's stand, particularly since it was a reply and not an original protest, some regretted the episode. "It's poor sportsmanship for a loser to howl," said one alumnus. Holy Cross 19, Brown 7 AS.AD FUMBLE that turned promise of a Brown touch' down into a Holy Cross score in the closing minutes of the first half was the critical play of the game in Worces- ter that saw the outweighed Brunonians concede a 19-7 victory on October 28. All through the first half the Brown forwards had been outcharging their opponents, who had 30 pounds' advantage a man, but there were no serious scoring threats until midway through the second quarter. Then, after Brown had gained eight yards on an exchange of forward passes, she started from her 32-yard line and marched steadily on short gains to a first down on the Crusaders' 12 -yard line, Allen carrying nicely. Here Brown fumbled, and in a bewildering about-face of fortune it was but a few plays before the home eleven had crossed the Bear's goal line, the second of two accurate passes scoring the touchdown with seven seconds left of the half. Almost immediately on the resumption of play. Brown had the score back, pushing the ball over from midfield in nine plays. In the same period, however, Morris of Holy Cross, stopped at the end where Caito was performing magnificently all day, cut back, found a hole in the second- ary, and ran 72 yards for a touchdown. The Purple's other score came in the final period when their weight advantage finally told. In this period Holy Cross gained 128 of the 274 yards' total she advanced on her running game. Brown gained 186 yards in this way. making 12 first downs to the Crusaders' 11. The Bear's forward pass, which had been such a useful weapon at New Haven, failed completely. Freshmen 0, Broc\ton High 6 ALTHOUGH they earned 12 first downs to three by their opponents, the Brown Freshmen went down to a 6-0 defeat in their opening game against Brockton High School on Oct. 12. The Freshmen were within the Brockton 20-yard zone in every period but could not score. Coach Kahler had to revamp his attack when young Fritz Pollard was declared ineligible for the game. Perry taking his place at halfback and teaming with Beatty for a large part of the 90 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY ground gaining. A blocked kick led to the lone score of the game in the third quarter, putting the schoolboys in a posi- tion from which end runs and a cutback through tackle gained the 30 yards needed. At no other time was Brockton able to gain, but the victory had been won. Freshmen 6, Andover 6 WITH Frit; Pollard, Jr., eligible and starring in his iirst game, the Brown Freshmen battled a heavier Andover team to a 6-6 tie on October 21. Scoring on a drive from midfield in the second period, Andover held its advantage only one quarter, for Pollard topped a 72 -yard advance with the Freshmen's first score of the season. Twice pre- viously Pollard had broken away for beautiful touchdown runs only to be called back for penalties on his team-mates. Brown had 22 first downs against 1 1 for the academy boys. In the line Acting Captain Mangiante, Beaubian, Blake, and Cashman were outstanding, while Beatty was not far behind the spectacular Pollard. Andover men said Pol- lard's work was the greatest they had seen there since Eddie Mahan. A Promising Start in Soccer AFTER opening their season with impressive victories . over Clark and Tufts, the soccer men ran afoul of the strong Yale eleven on October 22 and met their first de.'eit 2-0. The score was the same as last year, and the counters came in the second period. Ambrose Murray, playing his first season on the varsity, has been the star, adding a punch to the attack that brought scores against Clark and Tu ts. He was the scorer in the 1 -0 victory that started the cched- ule, beating the Clark goalie early in the game after the Brown forwards had shown a stylish passing attack. A.giinst Tufts, Murray scored four of the six goals and had an assist on Captain Connors'. Watson counted on a penalty boot, in addition to playing a rugged defensive game. Goalie Tolman, Knott, Thedford, and Dyer have been others to share the lime-light. Fencing, giving a 'varsity trial last year, apparently will continue this winter, at least to the extent of a match with Harvard. Last year the Brunonians were undefeated in their matches, all within the State. The Graduate Student at Brown EVEN tliough the number of fellowships available has been considerably re- duced, there was no decrease in the number of persons on its rolls when the Graduate School of Brown University opened this Fall for its 47th year. There has been a slight decrease in the total num- ber of regular students, there being 305 reg- istered this year. Of this number, 115 are studying full time and 75 half time. The remaining students are instructors at Brown, HIS ROLLS DOXT SHRi.XK Dcdn R. G, D.

After reports of the secretary and treasurer (who reported a balance, but added that unfortunately the bank holding it was closed) the club enjoyed hearing a long, newsy letter from the Alumni Secretary, who gave all the news that was fit to print about the University. V. A. Hedberg, Jr., '22n served as chairman of the nominating committee. Subjects of the discussion that followed the reading of Al Gurney's letter included dues and the question of whether or not the club should be sponsor for a gathering of some kind the week-end of the Brown-Yale game.

Hedges of the Department of History Dr. Bigelow is col- laborating in the writing of a book which will give an accurate picture of Rhode Islands colonial commerce. These Brown historians have worked with hundreds of documents in Newport, Providence, Boston, New York, and Philadelphia and believe they can throw new light on one of the most romantic and important periods of Ameri- can history.

Those We Mourn PRESIDENT of the Imperial College of Tokyo, exchange professor appointed by the Japanese government to interpret the East to the West, who by his felicitous speech, courteous bearing, and penetrating insight has helped two diverse nations into closer understanding and abiding friend- ship." Such was the citation of President Faunce in conferring the honorary degree of LL.D. upon Inajo Nitobe in 1912. Dr. Faunce's words deserve to be reviewed in an obituary light now, for Dr. Nitobe died in Victoria, British Columbia, October 16. As recently as Commencement, 1932, Dr. Nitobe had returned to the Brown campus, being called to the platform of the First Baptist Meeting House to receive a welcome. His first appearance at Brown was in 1911 when the yellow press was stirring up anti-Japanese feeling in America. He had come then as exchange professor, and his introduction to this work came here at Brown, where he spent a month delivering lectures and holding weekly seminars, mak- ing many warm friends the while. Born in 1863 of an old samurai family, at a time when japan was still under feud- alism. Dr. Nitobe was educated in Japan and America to be a worthy knight. In 1919 he was appointed Under-Secretary- General of the League of Nations, and served for seven years in such an outstand- ing manner that on his return to Japan he was appointed by the Emperor to a perma- nent seat in the House of Peers. But Dr. Nitobe was a liberal. And in 1931 the Japanese military started on the march in Manchuria, dooming any dreams of liberalism. In the words of an editorial in the Evening Bulletin (Providence), "The militarists rode into power; the reaction- aries inflamed the patriotic imagination of the people; parliamentary government dis- appeared before the will of the war and navy lords. Finally Japan withdrew from the League of Nations after that body had condemned her conquest in Manchuria. Dr. Nitobe became the target of the militarists, and he was forced to eat humble crow to the Army Reservists' Association for a statement he had made. He died with his life work of bringing the spirit of western liberalism to semi-feudal Japan in wreck and ruin." 1868 Charles Henry Smart, retired teacher and real estate operator, died in Provi- dence, September 19, 1933, after a long illness. Born in Cranston. December 29. 1845, the son of George C. and Mary Ann (Braman) Smart, his birthplace was what IS now the Betsey Williams cottage in Roger Williams Park. He entered Brown from the University Grammar School, did post- graduate study at the University to win his A.M. degree in 1871, and then began his career as a teacher. He was principal of the Woonsocket High School, and of schools in Boston, Groton, and Saugus, Mass., Charleston, W. Va., and Providence. He was superintendent of schools in Charles- ton, 1882-85; a teacher in the Worcester High School; and principal of the English and Classical Department, Spencerian Busi- ness College, Providence. He retired from teaching about 25 years ago to engage in the real estate business. He was forced to give up active work shortly after the World War. His only venture into politics was a year, 1894-95, as Representative in the Rhode Island General Assembly. A bache- lor, his nearest survivors are a nephew, Howard R. Smart of Lincoln, a special stu- dent at Brown in 1895-96, and two nieces, Mrs. Nettie Lee of Providence, and Mrs. Luke Connole of East Greenwich. His fra- ternity was Delta Kappa Epsilon. 1872 John Luther Bevan, oldest business man and lawyer in Atlanta, 111., died in Atlanta, October 3, 1933. The end came suddenly, the newspapers said, as a result of a cere- bral hemorrhage. Up to the time of the attack he had been in good health and was active daily. Born in Atlanta, December 15, 1845, the son of Samuel and Elija A. (Downey) Bevan, he remained on his fath- er's farm until he was 21 years old. He se- cured a primary education in the district school and had ambitions to continue. In 1866 he entered Shurtleff College, Alton, 111., studied there for five years and then came to Brown to receive his degree in 1872. From Brown he went to the Univer- sity of Michigan Law School, won his LL.B. in 1874, and returned to Atlanta, where he immediately became a member of the Illinois bar. He had been in practice in Atlanta ever since, his youngest son, Frank S. Bevan, being his partner in recent years under the firm name of Bevan 6? Bevan. "In addition to his large and lucrative law practice," the Atlanta Argus said, "Mr. Bevan was a various times identified with many business and political enterprises. He had been mayor of the city; for many years director in grade and high schools; and for years town clerk, during the time when the railroad bond question was a vital issue in the township." He was also City Attorney and Alderman. He had a vital part in founding the People's Bank of Atlanta 46 years ago, was a principal stockholder and director, and was president of the bank at the time of his death. He was dean of the Logan County bar and one of the oldest practising attorneys in the State. He was married October 4, 1877, to Miss Armada S. Thomas, daughter of the Rev. E. J. Thomas of Atlanta; and Mrs. Bevan sur- vives, with two sons, Lynne J. Bevan, Montclair, N. J., and Frank S. Bevan, At- lanta. There are also six grandchildren and two sisters. Miss Ellen Bevan and Mrs. May Ellis. 1878-Non Edward Wilkinson Blodgett, former Presiding Justice of the Rhode Island Supe- rior Court, died at his home in Pawtucket, 99 BROWN ALLIMNl MONTHLY September 27, 1933, his 76th birthday. He had been ill for more than a year. Born in Pawtucket, September 27, 1857, the son of William W. and Salome (Kinsley) Blod- gett, he prepared at the Rev. Charles H. Wheeler's private school, studied at Brown for two years and then transferred to Yale, from which he received the A.B. degree m 1878. After teaching school for a year, he commenced the study of law in his father's ofEce in company with Judge Willard B. Tanner '79, for many years his colleague on the bench. Among his public offices were chairman of the Pawtucket School Com- mittee; City Solicitor of Pawtucket, 1900- 17; clerk of the Tenth District Court, 1882-1900; and Associate Justice of the Superior Court, 1917-29. He became Pre- siding Justice in March, 1929, and retired last spring on a pension of $10,000 annu- ally. Judge Blodgett was a member of the Pawtucket Business Men's Association, a charter member of the To Kalon Club and the Pawtucket Golf Club, and also belonged to the American Bar Association, the Rhode Island Bar Association, and Union Lodge of Masons. "Under his regime as Presiding Justice," the Proridence Journal said, "much progress was made in establishing cordial relations between the bench and bar, a result at which he steadily aimed." His old friend. Judge Tanner, said that Judge Blodgett "had a good legal mind and was always patient and considerate." Judge Blodgett was married February 17, 1887, to Miss Caroline Morgan of Brooklyn, N. Y,. who survives him, with two daughters, Mrs. Thomas A. Clarke and Mrs. E. B. Peters; two sons, Morgan and W. W. Blodgett '13n; two brothers. Rev.

The Pembroke Chronicle BY JANE SANFORD '3 5 THE new Freshman Council started right in before college opened in getting the incoming class and the transfers accli- mated here. They have been doing splendid work under the leadership of Marguerite Melville '34, and this new institution prom- ises to take care of the Freshman much bet- ter than the old system. The tradition of having Seniors as individual counsellors has not however been done away with, as per- manent Seniors will be assigned for the class of '37, but in the meantime this class has had the guidance of the representatives of the three upper classes to help them out. The Senior-Freshman party, held on Octo- ber 12, proved to be one of the most enter- taining in several years. During the preceding week the Freshmen had been subjected to a mild form of hazing. Their costumes had been composed of one pink sock and pink oilcloth bibs with name tags attached (in addition to their regular dress). No make-up at all was allowed, and each Freshman had to address the Seniors with a curtsy and a limerick. But revenge is sweet and the day after Freshmen week was over, the Seniors were noticeable by their make-up, their walking up outside stairs backward, and their addressing the Fresh- men with a "believe it or not." This is the tirst year this has been tried — the idea of retaliation — and the Seniors took it in great spirit. Among many teas to introduce Freshmen to the various organizations, the big recep- tion was a formal for the Senior-Freshman groups on October 4. Then followed Record tea. Press Club tea, French Club tea, Komian tea, and Debating Club tea. With all that maybe the bewildered Freshmen will have a hard time settling down. On October 26, Brownies got under way with a fashion show, with Pembrokers as models. October 27 marked Pembroke's first dance, a well- attended informal given by the Senior class and the Brun Mael. So now the social whirl has begun — or is still going on. advertisers Gnqravinq compang 66 ORANGE ST. PROVIDENCE. R. I.

Mrs. Allinson's Selected Essays Commercial Banking Trust Department Capital $500,000 . $950,000 Surplus and Undivided Profits (over) BLACKSTONE CANAL NATIONAL BANK Establishrd IS31 20 MARKET SQUARE Providence, R. I. BY ELSIE STRAFFIN BRONSON '04 PEMBROKE College in Brown Univer- sity has done nothing more distinctively worthy of itself than sponsoring the publication of Mrs. Allinson's "Selected Essays." They are a consistently noble and permanently beautiful expression of what enlightened womanhood signifies, and their profound sincerity can leave no doubt that they reveal the author's own intellectual and emotional experience, with the cour- ageous idealism which she evolved from it. The volume is thus a memorial in the truest sense, designed both to perpetuate and to extend Mrs. Allinson's living influence. It is completed by an excellent photograph as frontispiece, and a ten-page biography by the editor, Mrs. Gertrude Slaughter, the friend who shared in all that life brought to Mrs. Allinson, from girlhood to the moment of death. One recognizes it as strikingly true that in her manifold public labors, educational, social, civic, journalistic, Mrs. Allinson was exacting of herself and paying back into the human treasury the price of her own her- itage and opportunities. There was much of the ancient Roman in her self-discipline and sense of obligation, however great her pleas- ure in successful accomplishment, public approval, and the ardent devotion of admir- ing friends. So in this literary payment, gravest, most carefully wrought, little is said of specific labors or rewards: the emphasis is upon a very fine, very high quality of living — ultimately upon realization of the highest potentialities of the human spirit. No reader need dread discomfort from being led to sur- vey these heights, however. There is nothing of dogma or exhortation, only the reasoned aopeal of one competent mind to another. The author was too wise, too kind, too gra- ciously feminine, to pose as an apostle or be mistaken for a Pharisee. THERE arc seventeen essays, dating from 1903 to 193 2. all but that of 193 2 re- printed from one or another of our more discriminating periodicals. They are ar- ranged in groups, autobiographical, classi- cal, educational, religious: but the groups interlock, especially the first and the last, since the faith that won new vision in per- .sonal sorrow was the same that tried to see beyond the misery and terror of the World War. Faith, fundamentally Christian in its insistence on human values, is the guiding and unifying force throughout, even while Hellenism is stimulating the mind and Ro- man stoicism replenishing the fortitude. Other elements that recur are love of nat- ural beauty — the forms and colors of the Greek landscaoe, the vineyards and or- chards and hill-towns of Italy, glittering snows and fiery auroras of the far North, unseen but of magnetic attraction: love for children — the beloved godchild of the sec- ond essay, the nestling dream-child of the fourth, red-haired Agatha in the Roman crowd, the blessed children of "Juventus Christi"; reverence for beautv in human character — her mother's, Virgil's, Christ's: ;eal for democracy and respect for "the nat- ural concerns of men": yearning sympathy with all who suffer: loyalty to womanhood and those distinctive functions of service and sacrifice which belong to it — discussed at length in "On the Distaff Side" and "Muses on the Hearth," the latter a docu- ment of inestimable worth to every woman and to all men who are not misogynists with closed minds. A SERIES of brief quotations may serve to typify certain moods and convictions: "The renewal of sincerity, humility and enthusiasm in the age-old search for truth is more necessary than the introduction of new courses." "Any form of education is better and brighter than its enemies can imagine, and even more useful and persuasive than its friends can hope." "Women do not gather courage from calories, nor faith from refrigerators." "We are not destined for a Woman's Building- an Old Ladies' Home — on the Styx." "At times we seek a retreat from the mere insignificance of our occupations . . . We share the sickening sense of futility de- scribed by Seneca: 'Life is not painful, but superfluous.' " "Not by fleeing westward, but by push- ing northward, can be secured the content- ment of the Hyperboreans. Knowing night at its worst, they attain to veritable faith in the day." "... the Acropolis, silvery gray in the late gray afternoon, aloof and still, rapt from all commerce with our kind." "... the humaneness and the beauti- ful dignity of Athenian civilization." "Rome's peculiar gift to the man or woman who is endeavoring to live spa- ciously within a restricted experience is the proof she gives of life's Daiier im "Wechsel. No other city or nation conveys that sense of the permanence of humanity which is conveyed by her history . . ." "The modern man or woman can combine the Greek ideal of self-development with the Christian ideal of self-dedication." "Quality is eternal, unchangeable, with- out end and without death."
