Entered at the Post Office, at Providence, R. I., as second class matter, under the law of March 3, 1879 PROTECTED On which SIDE will your family find itself? -When the time comes for your property to pass to your family and heirs, will they find themselves unprotected, facing alone the complex problem of settling and managing your estate? Or will they find their in- terests fully protected by an experienced Trust Company, serving as executor and trustee? Most losses suffered by beneficiaries are due to in- experience. If those for whom you must provide are inexperienced in financial matters, it is wise to consider placing your property in trust for their benefit. Let our officers explain how a trust under your will not only provides protection for your family but also pre- vents needless shrinkage. jpl Rhode Island Hospital Trust Companij Pawtucket Providence Woonsocket ► The Oldest Trust Company in New England BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Vol. XXXV PROVIDENCE, R. I., NOVEMBER, 1934 No. 4 What Are the Freshmen Like? The Director of Admissions Writes of the Class of 1938 BY DR. BRUCE M. BIGELOW WHEN I wanted to enter Brown," said a prominent alumnus recently, "I called upon Benny Andrews. Lest I might not understand the administrative duties of a college president in the nineties, the alumnus paused to explain that E. Benjamin Andrews was not only the president of Brown Lhiiversity, but also acted as dean of the faculty, dean of undergraduates, comptroller, and director of admissions. "Benny listened to my story for a few minutes," con- tinued the alumnus, "and then greeted me with the words, 'Very good, sir, we'll see you here in the fall.' " Apparently this was the typical method of entering Brown in 1892. I could only say in response that evidently, judging by results. President Andrews knew how to pick students. Doubtless the other alumni who were admitted to Brown by this great personality would endorse this conclusion. Those of us in admissions work today, who spend the winter, spring, and summer interviewing scores of boys, parents, and headmasters, writing innumerable letters, and reviewing complicated school records, often wish that ad- mission in 1934 could be handled with the simple technique of 1892. How easy it would be if we could only talk with the applicant for a few minutes, sue him up with a critical eye, and then give him a prompt and final decision. TODAY, however, the present routine is inescapable. High schools are crowded with students as never before, and every year they send out a host of graduates into the busi- ness and the college worlds. College is particularly attractive to many of these high school boys, whose impressions are gleaned from Hollywood and the sporting pages, and who suppose that college life consists chiefly of playing pranks and football. This army of applicants to American univer- sities must be met by a barrage of examinations and tests; otherwise the colleges would be filled with students who would have no chance of lasting four years. It is not really a favor to admit an applicant, knowing full well that the boy has hardly a gambler's chance of staying in college. If eventually he is forced through failures to leave college, the failure affects not only himself, but his parents, his sec- ondary school and the college. But there are other standards besides the academic. We want to admit only the students w-ho will work and play together in a community of young gentlemen. Were it not for the fact that admission officers can secure complete records concerning the applicants, we should be facing an impossible task. Academic ratings are now made in the secondar>' schools from day to day, aptitudes and interests are charted from month to month, character records are entered on the books, alumni interviews are reported, and complete personnel information is filed. By reviewing this mass of material, the Committee on Admissions makes its final selection of the Freshman Class. Both the reviewers and the reviewed are human, however, so we expect mistakes. WE like the Class of 19.i8, but we naturally would like our own selections. We are always proud of our enter- ing class — at least until the first exams are over. The class numbers 374, slightly less than a year ago. We received a record number of applications for admission, but the list included many with precarious financial resources. We tried to discourage a good many applicants in this group, for we did not want them to jeopardise their health in order to obtain a college education. Many boys, however, in an almost pathetic manner hope for Aladdin's Lamp. Just before college opens, hov^-ever, they surrender to facts and are forced to withdraw their applications. There is nothing more pathetic than an enthusiastic, ambitious youth who has graduated with honors from his secondary school, who wants a college education above almost everything else in the world, but who cannot reach it. The cost of going to college seems to be an increasingly difficult problem. Although at Brown during the past few years there has been an increase of twenty per cent in the number of applicants for admission, there has also been during this same period an increase of over one hundred per cent in the number seeking financial aid. The typical cost of a year at any one of the leading eastern colleges is over $1,000. This includes tuition, board, room, and inci- dentals, but is exclusive of traveling expenses, clothes, and amusements. And these last items find their way into a student budget! LOOK back a hundred years and you will see a very differ- / ent picture. The Brown catalogue of 1 834 says, "College bills, including tuition, room rent, use of library, and inci- dental expenses . . . $64.50 per annum." This amazingly low figure does not include board, but apparently food was not exorbitant in price. According to the catalogue, "The board in commons is charged at its nett expense, and varies with the price of provisions. Good board is furnished at from $1.00 to $1.12 per week, and that which is more ex- pensive at from $1.50 to $1.61 per week." Board for the 39 weeks of the college vear, therefore, varied from $39 00 to $62.79. 91 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Even a generation later when the alumnus of Andrews' regime entered Brown he faced tuition charges of only $110 as against $400 today, and single rooms ranged in rent from $H to $75 as against $100 to $300 at the present time. In spite of this increased cost of education, Brown, fortu- nately, still remains a democratic college where personality, character, and brains rate higher than Rolls Royce roadsters. The freshman who this year hitch-hiked to Brown from the Middle West will be just as well received as the boy Vv'ho flew here in his own plane from New York. The freshman class today has its share of wealth and poverty, but neither condition determines the popularity rating of a single boy. GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION THE geographic distribution of the entering class is about the same as it has been for the past decade. While visit- ing schools in the Middle West this year I sensed a growing interest in Brown on the part of both headmasters and boys. Many applicants from this section of the country, however, who wanted to enter and whom we would gladly welcome, could not afford to go to a college a thousand miles away from home. An increase in the number of applications for admission from this section, therefore, did not result in a larger registration. The geographic distribution is as follows : Massachusetts 84 Providence 65 Rhode Island (outside Providence) 62 New York 58 Connecticut 30 New Jersey 18 Pennsylvania 18 Middle West 23 Other New England States 10 South 4 California 1 Japan 1 374 Although because of the financial situation there are fewer students attending private schools today than a few years ago, the even balance which we hope to have at Brown between private and public school students is still maintained. Number entering from Public High School: New England 162 Outside New England 46 208 Number entering from Private Preparatory School: New England 90 Outside New England 76 166 374 Parents who are disturbed because their sons have no definite vocation in mind will be relieved to know that forty per cent of the Class of 1938 at Brown have no defi- nite vocational plans at the present time. We understand that this condition is typical of college freshmen every- where. About thirty-five per cent of our freshmen are head- ing for one of the professions, while the others are looking toward a great diversity of vocations. PROPOSED VOCATIONS Undecided 151 Medicine 44 Engineering 39 Law Chemistry Journalism Business Teaching Banking Manufacturing Diplomatic Service Ministry Art Coaching Dentistry Military Service Accounting Advertising Architecture Brokerage Criminologist Druggist Finance Forestry Music Photography Real Estate Theater 35 18 14 13 13 9 8 6 4 374 The fathers of our freshmen are representative of various occupations. The majority are in some form of business activity. Besides these, there are 24 engineers, 14 lawyers, 11 educators, 10 doctors, 9 ministers, and many more in- cluding a governor, authors, musicians, golf professionals, artisans, and laborers. IN checking over our application blanks we find that the average age of our freshmen is 18 years and 10 months. The youngest is 15 years and 4 months, and the oldest 24 years and 6 months. Their height ranges from 5 feet 4 inches to 6 feet 4 inches with an average of 5 feet 10 inches, and the weight ranges from 1 1 5 pounds to 2 1 5 pounds with an average of 156. First honors for the subjects liked best by 1938 in the secondary schools go to Mathematics, English, and History. The subjects liked least in the secondary' schools are Latin, Mathematics, and French. It is no great discovery that we find our freshmen either liking Mathematics best or least. As far as this subject is concerned, it seems that very few boys fails to react definitely in one way or the other. One hundred and one fathers and fifty-one mothers of our freshmen attended college. We are particularly grati- fied that forty of our freshmen are the sons of Brown alumni. This is a record number, and speaks well for the growing interest of our alumni in their alma mater. There has been a definite increase in the number of alumni sons every year for the past decade. Right here I wish to thank the Brown alumni for the co-operation which they have given during this past year to the admissions office. Never before, I believe, have the alumni demonstrated more enthusiasm in connection with admissions than they have recently. In practically every city which sends boys to Brown our alumni have given gener- ously of their time and energy in the work of interesting desirable students in Brown. Our interviewing system, started in 1929, is running more smoothly than ever. It has gained momentum in every section, and is at present indis- pensable to our selective admissions program. Alumni and undergraduates are the best publicity agents a college can have, and it is a real joy to be in the admissions office of a college where both of these groups are loyal and enthusiastic. 92 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY DEAN Clinton H. Currier and I found that the appli- cants for admissions this year ran true to form in fur- nishing the Committee with the usual number of smiles. One young man would have been glad to enter Brown if we would guarantee that afternoon classes would be over in time for him to make the lirst horse race at Narragansett Park. We can't make such guarantees in this office so the applicant is going elsewhere. Disappointment came to another lad when he found that he was not granted a large scholarship in spite of the fact that one of his ancestors fired the first shot in the battle of New Orleans. It was a surprise to this boy to learn that scholarships at Brown were awarded on the basis of the academic standing and need and not upon the heroism of a great-grandfather. Letters from anxious mothers to the president, deans, and director of admissions are received daily during the spring and summer months. One mother inquires about the quality of our mattresses, another about the Providence climate, a third wants us to see to it that her boy eats regularly — and so on and on. We are eager to keep peace at home, however, so these rubber and umbrella letters are not mentioned to the boy. One mother thought her boy should be given special con- sideration inasmuch as she had spent weeks looking up the Bruce and the Bigelow genealogies. After I had become supersaturated with the correspondence in regard to this case. Dean Currier took it over and hoped that the flood was subsiding, whereupon the Currier genealogy was presented with alacrity and completeness. As a climax the genealogist announced the astonishing discovery that a Bigelow had murdered a Currier in Thirteenth Century Merrie England. Facts are facts, hut we thought there was no point in un- earthing more skeletons, so the son was discouraged from coming to Brown. THE usual number of letters also come in from self-styled football stars from the Atlantic to the Pacific. "I am six feet high, weigh 210 pounds, can kick, throw passes, hit the line, run the ends, and make touchdowns," writes one boy. He informed us that he would like to work his way through college playing football. I suppose there is an advantage in combining work and play, but like so many of these appli- cants, most of his credits were in glass blowing, cement mixing, or brick laying. He hasn't yet understood why we refused him. Photographs which come to our attention in the applica- tion blanks have their amusing angles. Some boys are par- ticularly proud of the letters which they won as members of the Siwash High School football team. They believe that the mammoth "S" on their jersies might have an effect upon a Committee on Admissions, so in their back yards the young men pose while decked out in full football regalia, headgear, the big "S" and all. Another lad sends us a picture his younger brother snapped of him on the beach. Ninety-nine one-hundredths of the picture shows the broad Atlantic and one-hundredth is our applicant. Even the Atlantic is sometimes pretty dull and uninteresting! Pictures taken with pets are quite frequently received. This year one lad sent us an enlarged photograph of his horse. When we looked closely we could see the boy's head partially hidden by the horse's ear. We liked the horse and wanted to admit him, but we had to refuse the boy. We should not like to have you believe, however, that our freshmen were selected this year because they had blue BROWN WAS THEIR PATRiMONT; SONS OF ALUMHl IH THE FRESHMAH CLASS First row, left to ri^ht — Frank A.

In fact, we believe the Class of 1938 to be the most carefully selected class ever to enter Brown. Whether or not we were wise in our selections only time will tell, but right now we throw them an orchid. Another Generation THE forty sons of Brown alumni, to whom Dr. Bigelow refers in his article on the class of 1938, comprise the largest group of sons of alumni which has ever appeared in a freshman class at the University. The group comes from all parts of the East — from points as far away as Chicago and Kansas City, Mo., and from Pennsylvania, the District of Columbia, New York, New Jersey, and from scattered cities and towns in New England. One freshman's home is in Japan. Their fathers attended Brown in 19 different classes, beginning with Leon H. Denison of Kansas City, a member of the class of 1896, and running through Norman E. White of Cranston and the Rev. Earl H. Tomlin of Provi- dence, who postponed their college days until the classes of 1927 and 1933. Most of the alumni fathers were graduated between 1901 and 1912. The mothers of nine freshmen attended Pembroke College. Honors for sending back the most sons to Brown go to the class of 1907, which sent five freshmen. The classes of 1908, 1909, and 1912 each contributed four freshmen. The classes of 1906 and 1911 have sent three sons each. Two freshmen have come from the classes of 1902, 1903, 1905, 1910 and 1913, and one from each of the following — 1896, 1899, 1900, 1901, 1914, 1915, 1927 and 1933. More than 30 members of the family of Robert S. Burgess and Samuel B. Burgees, sons of Dr. Alexander M. Burgess '06 of the Division of University Health, have attended Brown University. Their great-great-grandfather, Thomas Burgess, was the first. He was graduated in 1800. Their great-grandfather, grandfather and brother were all Brown men.

T^ew Starter for the Fran\lins ONE of the hardest jobs that William Allan Dyer '86 has been called upon to do in his busy career had a happy ending last month with the announcement that the H. H. Franklin Company, manufacturer of motor cars, would reopen in Syracuse, N. Y., and give employment to at least a thousand men in the next few months. After the company went into receivership last April, Dyer was appointed head of a special committee to find a purchaser who would take over the plant and start it running again. James Warren, writing in the Syracuse journal of Oct. 18, said: "Everybody will be glad to see new Franklin cars back on the streets once more. For this newest boost to the indus- trial advancement of the city Syracuse should take off its hats to the city administration, the Chamber of Commerce, and to William Allan Dyer, Mayor Marvin and President H. Hiram Weisberg of the Chamber in particular. Mr. Dyer headed the chamber's special committee that has been carrying on negotiations since last July." >Jo More Brown Ph.B.'s BROWN University, first institution in the United States to award the Ph.B., has decided to discontinue the degree. Tlie ruling applied for the first time to the Class of 1938 and will not affect upperclassmen who have been ful- filling requirements for the Ph.B. Hereafter only the A.B. degree will be given for liberal arts study. Abandoning of the degree, which was introduced under President Wayland's administration, means that candidates for admission to Brown will not have to present Greek or Latin credits, nor will study of the classics be required in college. The step conforms to the general practice in other leading American universities. It was voted by the Board of Fellows after a recommendation of the Faculty. Leading the Vermotit Bar Judge Collins M. Graves '95 of the Municipal Court, Bennington, Vt., was elected president of the 'Vermont Bar Association at the annual meeting held in Montpelier, Oct. 3. The association has voted to raise requirements for admission so that an applicant must have done work equiva- lent to two years in college. 94 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Of Brown and Brown Men A Devoted Trustee Dies AUGUSTUS Levi Abbott 'SO, trustee of the University since 1909 and for many years a leading lav.yer in -St. Louis, Mo., died in St. Louis, Oct. 15, 1934. He had been sick for more than a year. A descendant of George Abbott, who came from Guil- ford, England, in 1642 to settle in Rowley, Mass., he was born in Weymouth, Mass., Aug. 6, 1858, the son of the Rev. Levi Augustus and Mary Abby (Preston) Abbott. He prepared at LaCrosse, Wis., High School, attended the University of Chicago for a year, and came to Brown in 1877 to enter the class with the late President W. H. P. Faunce, Judge Samuel H. Ordway, and others who have made 1880 famous. He won his A.B. in June, 1880, his A.M. in 1883, and his LL.B. at Washington University, St. Louis, in 1885. Before studying law he served as Associate Professor of Mathematics at Shurtleff College, Alton, 111., 1881-84. After admission to the Missouri bar in 1884 he commenced practice in St. Louis and until his last illness was senior partner of the firm of Abbott, Fauntleroy, Cullen & Ed- wards — the Edwards being John B. Edwards '96. He was a member of the St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners, 1911-13, having been appointed by Governor Hadley. Dur- ing the World War he was chairman of the 11th District Legal Advisory Board; and had been a member of the law committee of the Northern Baptist Convention since 1908, and chairman since 1919. He also belonged to the Missouri and St. Louis Bar Associations, Phi Beta Kappa, and Psi Upsilon. He was for many years a lecturer at Benton College of Law, from which he received the honorary degree of LL.D. in 1917. He was co-author of Law of Emi- nent Domain, which was published in 1888. He was married April 20, 1887, to Miss Annette Blair. Surviving are two sons, John B. Abbott '15 and Preston O. Abbott '19, and a daughter, Mrs. Arthur B. Hague of St. Louis. "He was a devoted and enthusiastic alumnus," President Barbour said in his letter to the University Corporation. Comte de Lafayette's Guest ARTHUR M. McCrillis '97, President General of the National Society, Sons of the American Revolution, and Mrs. McCrillis returned to Providence last month after a visit abroad, during which they were extensively enter- tained in Paris. One of their pleasant memories is the tea given in their honor at La Grange, the country home of Lafayette, now ov^'ned by the Comte de Lafayette. The l^lew England Couyicil Viewpoint A RETURN to reliance upon the "energy, initiative and will to recover" of business men "free from domination by unrepresentative and irresponsible Government bureaus" was declared a necessity for a rebirth of business confidence in this country' in an address delivered by Henry D. Sharpe '94, president of the New England Council, at the opening of the 36th quarterly meeting of that body at Poland Springs, Me. The Phi Beta Kappa Council BROWN was well represented at the 1 8th Triennial Coun- cil of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa held in Cincinnati in September. Professor Albert Knight Potter '86 and Professor William T. Hastings '03 were the dele- gates representing the Brown Chapter. Professor Morton C. Stewart "94 was a delegate from the Union College Chapter. Dr. F. W. Shepardson '83 was present as a mem- ber of the Senate of the United Chapters. President Mary E. Woolley '94 of Mount Holyoke is also a member of the Senate. Important questions of policy, relating to the future program of the Society, were under discussion at the meet- ings of the Council, in connection with a proposed revision of the Constitution and By-Laws. The proposals were re- ferred to a special committee, of v.'hich Professor Hastings is a member. Dr. W. Randolph Burgess '12, Deputv Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of Nev.' York, has been elected treas- urer of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa for "the coming triennium." :^ ^ :j« :]: :{: From Atrocia to Raiyiboiu LIKE a boy's dream of winning a World's Series with a home run in the ninth was C. Sherman Hoyt's turn at the wheel in the third race of the America's Cup series, in the opinion of Lemuel F. Parton, newspaper syndicate writer. "For more than thirty years," said Parton in his column, "Hoyt has been America's great amateur first mate, living yachting, talking and dreaming of boats, and here he is, at the wheel of the Rainbow in that breath-taking stretch run which put the defender back into the contest! It must have been like the ecstatic second of the blooming of a century plant." Parton, after referring to Hoyt's undergraduate days at Brown and the University of Glasgow, recalled the de- signer's famous Atrocia, the boat built in a quest for a new formula for speed and so eccentrically styled that she earned her name. Its mast was stepped quite a piece abaft the beam. It didn't stand up as a speed boat, Parton recalls. Professor Zenas R. Bliss, Hoyt's Brunonian companion in the Rainbow's afterguard and navigator of the cup boat, has been kept busy filling lecture dates, many of them before engineering groups. Underiuriting "Welfare Wori^ THE Providence Community Fund, whose president is Albert H. Poland '09 and the chairman of whose board is Chancellor Henry D. Sharpe '94, is on the eve of its ninth annual campaign, seeking to finance again the welfare work of its thirty-eight associated agencies. As in similar cam- paigns throughout the country, the workers are stressing two important facts : First, that government relief work, as extensive as it is, can only bring to people suffering as a result of economic conditions the actual assurance against starvation and free:;ing. Second, the great work of the welfare agencies is urgently needed during the present period — even more urgently needed than ever before. 95 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Brunonia Plays the Game IF there has been any cry about ovcr-emphasizing football at Brown, that cry must have been quieted in the melan- choly days of October. Brunonians, players and sup- porters, have had to eat humble pie and go back for seconds. No matter how it's served, it's still humble pic. In the first three major engagements of the 19.i4 varsity schedule the Bear was held scoreless while Harvard, Yale, and Syracuse ran up 83 points. Even in defeat against Harvard, the team looked good, but one had to look hard for redeeming features on the two succeeding Saturdays. Against Springfield on November 3rd Coach McLaughry tried to reorganise his forces and turn again to the attack, to instill a new spirit in a squad of harassed players. Spring- field accounted for, the Brunonians were still possessed of no unbounded hope as they looked ahead to Columbia, Holy Cross, and Colgate, three of the East's strongest ma- chines. Curiosity about "next year" came early this season. Harvard 1 3, Brown BROWN wasted power galore against Harvard in an early season invasion of Cambridge and saw the Crimson capitalize tv^'o mistakes to score a touchdown in the opening and closing moments of the hard-fought, interesting game. The Brunonians made ten first downs as against three and ran up a yardage of 18.3 as against 108, hut they had no scoring play. The game had hardly started when Harvard blocked a punt and took possession of the ball on Brown's 26-yard line. It seemed as though the Brown forwards might hold there, but Harvard's Moseley started an end sweep, eluded a tackier behind the line, and cut back through tackle to catch the secondary out of position and score. Seemingly undismayed by this touchdown, which was converted, the Brunonians took the next kick-off and marched down the field to the Crimson six-yard line before surrendering the ball. The line was opening up fine holes and the running guards were leading the interference off tackle for gains of five and six yards at a crack, but the timing was never quite right to shake a runner loose. A shift to another style of attack ended when a completed forward just failed to make a first down, on the six-yard line. Perhaps the game was lost on the quarterbacking, for despite progress in the neighborhood of the tackles, the Brown attack shifted to sweeps and passes on several other occasions, too. Brown forced the play throughout the first half, once reaching the sixteen-yard line. The second period was notable for the decisions of the officials, who had to give six verdicts which nullified plays, among them touchdowns by each side. Ball's spectacular catch of a forward in the last minute of the half went for naught when officials ruled that he was beyond the end ~onc. In the second half, as a dri-;le drenched the field, ball, and humans. Brown was able only once to penetrate into Harvard territory. Harvard was making little headway, either, but near the end of the game she intercepted another Brown forward and converted it into a touchdown to put the game on ice. It looked to some in the stadium as though the Brunonian passer was tossing the ball to an ineligible linesman at the time, and the defending back had little oppo- sition in his theft. This 13-0 defeat was the closest the varsity came to a "moral victory" against a major rival in October. Tale 37, Brown BE.ATEN by Harvard, Brown still looked like a good team, and her supporters were not at all prepared for the rout at New Haven on the next week-end. Four touchdowns came in sharp order in the first period, followed by two more at appropriate intervals. The 37-0 defeat was the worst any McLaughry eleven had ever experienced. Defensively the Brunonians had little to offer, especially against aerial wiles and accuracy, and their one spell of attacking zest advanced the ball some 50 yards only to subside on the Yale 1 1-yard marker. The statistics of the game offer small comfort, although Brown made eight first downs against ten and gained 1 3 1 yards from scrimmage against 184. One Bruin pass out of eight essays was completed for a net of three yards, while the home team completed nine of 1 4 passes tossed right into the center of the Bear's box defense. A host of reserves saw service without receiving any medals. All in all it was an afternoon remarkably forgettable. Syracuse 33, Brown S.'\ID the optimists, "In 1933 after Princeton walloped Brown 33-0, Brown came back and beat Syracuse in a good game of ball." Applying that sanguine memory as an inducement to witness Brown and Syracuse in action in 1934, the optimists took it on the chin. Brown was up against a smooth machine that performed flawlessly for half the game. The Orange attack, for its deception, versatility and power, was one of the finest seen on Brown Field, and poor tackling by the bedevilled Bru- nonians made it seem all the better. Demoralization set in again. Even on the attack, the Brown eleven stalled, gaining 75 yards and losing 64 from scrimmage and adding 26 more on two passes that helped eke out the eight first downs. Syracuse ran up 19 and gained about 550 yards in sundry ways. Only a tendency to fumble deterred progress in the second half. In vain McLaughry had juggled his line-up and thrown in a full complement of reserves in experimental desperation. The optimists retired to a cave and ate worms. Brown 13. Sjpringfield 7 HAVING fasted for three previous Saturdays, the Brown Bear nibbled on touchdowns at the expense of Spring- field on November 3 and felt much happier. After a week of practice with more emphasis on touch football than con- tact work, the players put their heart into two touchdown drives, one of them in the first quarter of 27 yards and the other in the closing period for a 66-yard advance notable for the first use of the triple-wingback offensive in several weeks. The first score was ground out piecemeal, with Karaban carr^'ing the ball eight out of the nine times necessary to go the short distance. Apart from the captain's plunging, there was no trace of power even though the goal-line was crossed, and other offensives lapsed with touchdowns in view. But in the closing half the triple-wingback formation seemed to put new fire into line and backfield, and the cheer- ing section roared in delight at the new-found effectiveness. The supporters didn't even mind that Springfield ran seven 96 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY plays soon afterward for a gain of 91 yards and its score, for Brown seemed to have found a punch at last. Although held to two touchdowns, both by Karaban, the Bruins had much the better of the battle, with 1 7 first downs to five and 291 yards gained as against the Indians' 136. Among features were: Ball, right end, calling the plays in the huddle; Brown's goal-line stand in the second when Springfield blocked and recovered a punt on the Bruin six- yard line; Parks of Springfield intercepting a Brown pass and running it out from behind his own goal line; Harrie Hart, converted from end, starting in the Brown backfield; Elrod's runs that contributed to the second touchdown. The Freshman Season AFreshm.'\n team that rallied after an opening defeat by Brockton High School, 7-2, to win succeeding impor- tant games has operated with a strong backfield and an uncertain forward line, according to observers. For spirit, they say, the Cubs cannot be beaten. Certainly the thriller of the fall was the game with Andover at Brown Field. Outplayed most of the afternoon and seemingly licked, the Freshmen took the ball late in the game on an intercepted pass. The score was 20-14 against them, the distance to the goal-line was 30 yards, and there was time for only one play. That play, a forward from Greenberg to Bernstein m the end zone, miraculously suc- ceeded, and then, with the score tied, the try for a goal hit the cross-bar and bounded over for the extra point. Seriously hurt in the game was Donald La Vine of Brook- lyn, for whom Coach Kahler gave blood in a transfusion later in the evening. Although it has been the custom of the Freshmen to elect a captain at the end of a season, the squad unanimously elected LaVine their captain. Again Greenberg and Bernstein, former Worcester Academy backs, were the stars as the Brown 1938 eleven defeated the State College yearling team, 14-0. For one touchdown Bernstein ran 46 yards, and he scored the other after forward passes had contributed substantially to a 56-yard advance. Worcester Academy yielded a touchdown in the opening period and in the last, but in between times she ran through a Brown Freshman line for five touchdowns and won 31-13. Bernstein made both Brown scores in this game at Worces- ter November 3. League Competition in Soccer BROWN hooters had a chance to make 10 points toward a championship this season in the newly formed New England Intercollegiate Soccer League, in which she was a charter member, along with Harvard, Dartmouth, M. I. T., Springfield, Tufts, Massachusetts State, Amherst, Williams, and Wesleyan. Brown was scheduled to meet five of these colleges in varsity competition: Harvard, M. I. T, Dart- mouth, Tufts, and Springfield. A victory over a league member counts two points, a tie game one, and a defeat nothing. The season opened with an 8-0 trouncing of Clark, with Captain Tolman starring in goal and Read and Murray contributing most of the scoring points. On a wet field the team sufi'ered a 2-0 defeat at Harvard hands, forcing the play into enemy territory only in the first period. Only Tolman's brilliant defense kept the score down thereafter. In a spectacular comeback against Yale, the Brunonians dominated the play and made their best record in several years at New Haven by earning a 1-1 tie. Yale's only score came on an accidental goal by a Brown man, but the count was evened by a beautiful passing play in which Neubert and Wareham fed the ball to Murray for the kill. Two overtime periods failed to break the deadlock. Brown took two points at M. I. T.'s expense by beating the Engineers 5-1 November 3 at Aldrich Field, although held scoreless for the first half. The Brunonian forv.'ards split the Tech defense in the third period, though, to counter three times and put the game on ice. Murray, Knott, Read, Wareham, and Tuller all scored before Tech sank her only goal. 4: 4: ^i: 4: 4: Terms End for an Ideal Mayor M.woR Frederick A. Jones '96 of Cranston will retire to private life at the expiration of his present term at the end of this year. He refused to be a candidate for re- election despite pleas on every hand. He has made a note- worthy record as Mayor, as even his most partisan opponents will agree. The Providence Evening BuUetm said editorially in praise of his regime: "He has balanced the city's budget, put an end to the pernicious practice of deliberately run- ning operating deficits and of borrowing huge sums in anticipation of taxes and has enforced a reasonable economy both in current expenditures and in capital outlays. He has refused to play party politics — even when that refusal brought him into sharp conflict with his own party organization. "In short, Mr. Jones has conducted his office as every Mayor's office should be conducted, and as very, very few are. He has inspired popular confidence by restoring mu- nicipal government in Cranston to a plane which it had not previously occupied in years." 7\(ot the Morro Castle How would you feel the day after the Morro Castle burned if your own liner caught fire at sea? Walter J. Nelson '34 can tell you, for he was on board the S. S. Santa Rita of the Grace Line when her cargo started to blaze off Panama on September 9. There was this difference : aboard the Santa Rita the fire was immediately discovered, there was no panic nor alarm although the fire continued to smoulder for some days, the crew was well drilled and efficient. It was Nelson's duty, as pianist in the ship's orchestra, to play during meals and other periods to keep the passengers calm. His routine went on as though nothing out of the ordinary was happening, and the only casualty aboard was to a stowaway who nearly suffocated when he was trapped in the hold with the fire. Nelson is at the University of Maryland Dental School this year. * * ^ ^ ^ Saw the Stri\e from the Air Louis C. Horvath '25, on duty with the Aviation Corps, Connecticut National Guard, had something like six con- secutive hours of flying during the recent textile strike in his State. He spotted so-called "flying squadrons" of strikers and reported their whereabouts, and the directions in which they were heading, to outposts on the ground. % H! 4: :}: 3it Boo\s for the 'White House Joseph L. Wheeler '06, librarian of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, Baltimore, Md., was a member of the committee which selected 200 contemporary books that were pre- sented to President Roosevelt on Oct. 23 to supplement the permanent library of the White House. 97 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY In the Letter Box BRUHOHIAH OXOmAH FROM Owen F. Walker '33, now in his second year as Rhodes Scholar at Ox- ford, Dr. Barbour has received a letter from which the following excerpts have been taken. The President believes rightly that many of our alumni will be interested in it, for "Walker is a pretty good observer of conditions and events." Walker is studying at Oriel College, and he speaks of a sincere admiration for his tutor, Dr. Stallybrass, a notable figure in Oxford life and in the legal world of Eng- land, author of the standard work on torts. Walker will take his examinations for his B.A. degree in June. He writes in part: "Since coming here I have devoted my- self to a study of English government. An absorbing study is out of the question as most of my time goes into my chosen study of law. However, that subject alone casts great light upon the internal organization of England. The manner of government is not apparently systematic or efficient judged from the point of view of technical means. Many old and varying institutions survive, but they fit their purpose well. "Parliament still retains its excellence and the deliberations of that body are al- ways interesting and enlightening. The present government is undoubtedly a good one and commands respect for its achieve- ments, a balanced budget, a slowly quicken- ing trade, a gradual absorption of unem- ployed give evidence of progress. "But underneath it all there seems to be a gradual movement towards a more collec- tivist system. Taxes increase on the upper classes to benefit the poor. Industries have been more or less regimented into line and the Health Insurance, workmen's compen- sation acts, the unemployment insurance schemes work well and soundly. More than once I have heard from a reliable source that the elections of the next year will again return a national government, but that the election after that will find the nation in the hands of the Labour Party. "That party has a fairly well defined pro- gram of action, involving the state control of industry. Much of its radicalism has been mitigated by an experience at Government. Its Socialist League division suffered rebuff after rebuff at the late party congress. Its chief problem is in the lack of good and effective leaders. Englishmen who are qual- ified to speak intelligently berate the lack of an effective opposition — to the party in power. Such lack of quality has not existed since the Napoleonic Wars. Then, too, the reminder of Disraeli's statement that Eng- land has never fared well under a coalition government is often pointed to. "The government of the nation and its colonies is becoming the attention of the Oxford undergraduate. Many of them de- sire to spend their lives in the Colonial or Indian Civil Service. It is entirely a com- petitive examination system which governs entrance into these. The highest quality of men goes into the Indian Civil Service. It takes a first-class man from Oxford or Cam- bridge to make the grade, and firsts at Oxford are not many." ■SUPPOSmOHS. MERELT" To the Editor: SUPPOSE, on graduation, a class estab- lish a fund of $100.00 to be dis- posed of on Its 50th reunion. Could it find a worthy outlet? Suppose, on graduation, a class instructed its Secretary to print and distribute in leaf- let form, on May 1st of each year, selected letters received from non-local members. Would it tend to unify the class? Suppose a graduating class established a "Reunion Autograph Album" . . . names on the left, faced by yearly columns for signa- tures of those attending year by year. Would it revive old memories of the distant past? Suppose the next graduating class estab- lish an album, to be kept in the Library, wherein each class on its 50th reunion shall place the photograph of its most upstanding member, faced by a brief biography, a "Who's Who at Brown" album, a "Last Tribute" album or what you will ... as a final expression of appreciation and esteem. Would it prove increasingly interesting as the years roll on? Suppose the Alumni Association omitted from its yearly report the names of donors. Would it lessen the latent criticism of those not contributing? Suppose said Association, in place of its expensive, tabulated form of report, pub- lished in leaflet the same class details in single line style. Could the Association's gift to the university be thereby increased? Suppose the university abolish its ath- letic directorship, confine itself to intra- mural competition, concentrate on mental rather than on muscular training. Would "college education" be meaningless? Suppose the university sent each gradu- ate the yearly report of its treasurer, show- ing its itemized assets and liabilities. Would the welfare needs of the university have a more intimate appeal? Suppose the university returned to the donating class the "recreation field" 1 2 miles away as foreign to the principles on which the university was founded, as opposed to the basic principles of a college education, as inconsistent with the economical trend of the times, as redolent of future upkeep charges and as utterly impracticable for the purposes designated in the gift. Would anyone care? Suppose the university divorced the women's college and compelled the ladies to stand on their own. Would it improve the financial condition of the university as well as its standing among the educational institutions of the day? Suppose the university, in view of the desecration of the flag at Amherst last year, require the Oath of Allegiance from each and all of its professorial and student bodies. Would American ideals be better protected? John P. Knowles, 1880. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 24, 1934.

His topic was "Prob- lems of Alumni Cooperation." Stanton P. Nickerson, publicity officer, at the same time was in attendance at the conference of the New England section of the American College Publicity Association, held at Dur- ham, N. H. 98 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Activities of the Brown Clubs THE scries of monthly dinners arranged hy the Brown University Club in New York has got away to a good start. The first one, the pre-football dinner on the evening college opened, introduced J. W. Nutter '24, director of athletic publicity at Brown, as speaker. President Hunter S. Marston "08 was in the chair, and Supreme Court Justice James A. Dunne "98 was toastmaster. Nutter gave a revealing and edifying talk on the 1934 football squad, showed moving pictures of the 193 3 Brown-Yale game, and of the 1934 individual players, coaches and trainers. At the end of the program it was voted to make this dinner an annual one in September. The second monthly dinner took place Wednesday, Oct. 24, with Dean Frank H Sommer of New York University Law School as guest and speaker. Dean Som- mer is an authority on public utility sub- jects, having written the New Jersey public utilities act when Woodrow Wilson was Governor. Because of the Federal Govern- ment"s present attitude toward public util- ities. Dean Sommer"s talk was very enlight- ening for both consumer and investor. President Marston presided and Charles E. Hughes, Jr., "09 was toastmaster. The November dinner, as before an- nounced, was all arranged for Friday, the 9th, the eve of the Brown-Columbia foot- ball game. The Club"s squash tournament began Monday, Oct. 22, and a team of five to rep- resent the Brown Club in the Metropolitan Squash Racquets Association was to be se- lected after the finals.

Throop, Jr., "28. Indications point to a strong Class C team this season. * * * Brown Engineers THE Brown Engineering Association is pointing the way these days to all Brown Clubs by its activity. The annual Provi- dence meeting of the association took place Saturday, Oct. 27, the day of the Brown- Syracuse game. Many of the engineers went to the game; others visited the campus to look over old scenes and meet members of the Division of Engineering who could not get out to Brown Field. In the evening the whole crowd gathered at the Brown Outing Reservation m Greenville to hear Professor Zenas R. Bliss "18, navigator on the Rainbow during the America's Cup races, give his thrilling talk on cup yachts in general and the cup races in particular. Professor W. H. Kenerson was in charge of the arrangements, working with President Wayne M. Faunce '21 and Secretary Charles G. Burgess '24 of the Engineering Association. On Tuesday, Oct. 30, the engineers got together at the Hotel Wentworth, New York City, to hear Herbert M. Knight, en- gineer with the Maryland Casualty Com- pany, tell of some of the interesting phases of construction and bonding work. Mr. Knight is native of Providence and has many Brown men among his acquaintances. A dinner preceded the meeting. A PRESIDEHTIAL VISIT Henry S. Chafce, head of the Associated Alumni, who met with the Chicago Brown Club Alumni Visitors MOST guests who bring news of Brown to alumni in distant cities are members ol the Administration, but sometimes it is alumni laymen who supplement this liason work. A recent visitor to Chicago was the President of the Associated Alumni, Henry S. Chafee "09, who hoped to meet with the Brown Club there during the week of Octo- ber 28. When Sidney Clifford "15, Vice President of the Rhode Island Region, went to Cleveland a few days before that, he was the guest of the Brown Club of that city. * * * Boston THE holiday and certain unforeseen in- fluences combined to have a poor effect on the attendance at the smoker given by the Brown Club of Boston in the Swiss Room of the Copley Plaza, Friday, Oct. 12, the night before the Brown-Harvard foot- ball game. Yet the small number of alumni present gave good account of themselves in singing and cheering, and the committee led by Edward Place "24 put on a pleasing program. The guests were William J. Bingham, di- rector of athletics at Harvard, Coaches D. O. McLaughry and Paul H. Hodge '28 of the Brown squad, and a group of radio stars rounded up by Linus Travers '27. The Alumni Secretary was also on hand, and he can testify to a delightful evening which many alumni in Boston and neighborhood may well regret that they missed. President Claude R. Branch '07 intro- duced the speakers; Roy W. Leith '12 led the cheers and songs; and George L. Parker '96 was at the piano. A strong, experienced combination, and each one played his part in true Brown fashion. Everybody missed Bill Sykes '21, whose death four days be- fore the smoker, was a shock to his friends and acquaintances in Boston. * * * T^eiv England Vice President ROY W. Leith '12 of Boston was elected Vice President of the New England Re- gion of the Associated Alumni to fill the office left vacant by the death of R. G. Sykes '21. Mr. Leith was also elected a member of the Executive Committee and will serve with that body. Wardwell C. Leonard '18 of New Bed- ford has resigned from the Executive Com- mittee after faithful and useful service thereon, and the Committee read his note of resignation with regret at the October meeting. Professor Zenas R. Bliss has been ap- pointed Faculty member of the Board of Directors for one year. * * * T^eiv Haven The Brown Club of New Haven paid honor to Dr. F. W. Marvel as the dean of athletic directors by a dinner at the Hotel Taft, New Haven, the night before the Brown-Yale football game. The dinner was really a Brown-Wesleyan-Yale affair, carried out in fine style by the com- mittee, aided and abetted by Louis F. Hor- vath, honorary member of the Club and as- sistant manager of the Taft. From Wesleyan, where Dr. Marvel was in charge of physical education before he returned to Brown, came Dr. Edgar J. Fauver, successor to Dr. Marvel, and Pro- fessor Frederick Slocum '95, one of Dr. Marvel's college friends. Malcolm Farmer, director of athletics at Yale, represented his University; and Hubert M. Sedgwick, dean of New Haven newspapermen, former Yale athletic sports writer and a chum of Dr. Marvel's at Worcester Academy, spoke for college men in general. Also present from Brown were former Dean Otis E. Randall, a great favorite with the New Haven alum- ni, and A. H. Gurney, Alumni Secretary. Rev. B. Malcolm Harris '13 was the con- cise and humorous master of ceremonies, and song leader. Porter Wood '76 of Seymour, Conn., one of Brown's oldest living graduates, won a hearty cheer when he sang an old Brown song, and there was genuine interest in what Dr. Marvel, Dr. Fauver, Mr. Farmer, and Mr. Sedgwick said about athletics, and relationships among Brown, Yale and Wes- leyan. Professor Slocum recalled his college associations with Dr. Marvel, and Dean Randall praised the conduct of Brown ath- letics under Dr. Marvel's guiding hand. Mr. Sedgwick told of school days at Worcester Academy, and the Alumni Sec- retary tried to fill in for Coach McLaughry with comment on the makeup of the foot- ball team. The dinner, which brought about 50 alumni together, was the result of active work on the part of A. L. Breckenridge '1 1, president of the Club, C. F. Andrews "26, V. A. Hedberg. Jr., "22, Walter V. Brown "27, Louis C. Horvath "25, Henry H, Buc- hoh "25, and others. 99 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Brunonians Far and Near 1871 Arthur H.

His parishioners gave him a hand-wrought silver bowl, suitably inscribed; and Mrs. Staples and Miss Staples received bouquets of flowers. He and Mrs. Staples are now living in West- boro, Mass. It is of interest to note that Staples's father. Rev. Carlton A. Staples, was a minister of the gospel for 50 years. Thus father and son covered a century in the ministry, an unusual record.

"In this altogether happy re- lationship," Barry wrote not long ago, "I find myself participating in what virtually amounts to a homecoming for me, for there- by I am renewing many pleasant associa- tions with Rhode Island folk, temporarily suspended some years ago when the inter- ests of 'constituents' across the Connecticut line became paramount considerations." Barry refers to the years he served former Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut as secretary and office director. William W. Moss's daughter, Miss Mary Louise Moss, and Donald P. Tucker were married at the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Moss in Uxbridgc, Mass., Oct. 20, 1934. Miss Alice Washburn Moss was her sister's maid of honor, and the ushers in- cluded Peyton H.

Major Stiness, member of the Class of 1902, will be recalled by most of the "04 men. Edward P. Taft's son, Edward, Jr., is a regular end on the Brown football eleven this season. He developed rapidly in the preliminary games and started against both Harvard and Yale. 1905 Arthur R. Brown, whose son Harold is in the Freshman Class at Brown, is a struc- tural engineer with the Veterans Adminis- tration, Arlington Building, Washington. He came to Providence with his son just before college opened, called up David Davidson — and the result was that some of the '05 men got together with him for a pleasant reunion. Rev. George D. Allison, D.D., pastor of the First Baptist Church, Willmette, 111., had an article on "Ocean Park Summer School" in a recent issue of The Watclnnan- Examiner. The school, which is at Ocean Park, Me., is one, he says, "of which Bap- tists may well be proud." And he thought it a high privilege to speak every day while he was at the school to "such a host of Christian youth." Frederick E. Hawkins is serving as assist- ant principal of the Centra! Evening High School, Providence. George Bullock's son Brenton is a mem- ber of the Freshman Class on the Hill and is also on the Freshman football squad. 1906 Walter Angell's son, Everett L. Angell '33, and Miss Elizabeth Tillinghast of Providence have become engaged, accord- ing to the Providence papers. Young Angell is with the Narragansett Electric Company. 1907 Leonard S. Little, president of United States Finishing Company, and Mrs. Little have changed their residence to 1424 Nar- ragansett Boulevard, Edgewood, R. I. William F. Huntley's house address is 50 Chester Street, Boston, Mass. Bill is practising law with Harold F. Hathaway at 11 Pemberton Square, Boston. His son Philip is nearly ready for college. Rev. and Mrs. Merrick L. Streeter have returned to their mission station in Tavoy, Burma, where they have served for 22 years. They have been home for the past year and a half on furlough. They have left behind two daughters, one in Pembroke College and one in a missionary school in Ohio. Before they left they were guests at a fare- well service at Broadway Baptist Church, Providence, and their fellow parishioners gave them an all-wave, world radio set for their use in Burma. Rev. Oscar Maddaus, minister of the Reformed Church, North Hempstead, N. Y., was a Rhode Island visitor last month, coming to Woonsocket to take part in an anniversary service at the Presbyte- rian Church of which he was former pastor. He stopped in Providence to come up the Hill to see an undergraduate from his par- ish as well as Al Gurney at the Alumni Office. In recent weeks he has been travel- ing in the Middle West, holding confer- ences with local ministers as representative of the Presbyterian Synod. Once again the Class takes a modest bow for making a record. The Brown publicity office said in its news release last month that "honors for sending back the most sons to Brown go to the class of 1907, which sent five Freshmen." The five are George C. Bright (he is Bill Bright's second son to enter Brown); Alfred W, Dickinson; Myles L. Grover; Samuel C. Hall (son of Willard B. Hall, a special student in 1903); and George C. Slade. Dr. Asa Sheldon Briggs's daughter. Miss Janet Louise Brifgs, and Frederick Boyd Guild were married in Providence, Oct. 24. Asa's son Sheldon is doing well as a mem- ber of the Class of 1937 on the Hill. 1908 Percy A. Shaw, superintendent of the Manchester, N. H., Water Department, has been named a member of the board of di- rectors of the New England Water Works Association. His son is a Freshman at Brown. Harry A. Jager, principal of Hope Street High School, has begun his third year as chairman of the Rhode Island State Prin- cipals' Athletic Committee, which controls all organized school athletics in the State. F. I. Chichester, who has a son in the Freshman Class on the Hill, has removed his family from Chicago to 53 Annawams- cutt Road, West Barrington, R. I. Chick is a district distributor of Pyroil, with his office at 174 Richmond Street, Providence. When former Governor Norman S. Case of the Federal Communications Commis- sion was interviewed over an NBC hook-up one night in September, he received a great introduction from Martin Codel, publisher, who did the interviewing. Mr. Codel, who asked Case about the telephone end of communications — Case is a member of the Telephone Division — spoke of President Roosevelt's high regard for the Governor "both as a man and as a public official," and went on: "One needs to spend only a short time with Governor Case to be impressed with his quality of mind and his statesmanlike outlook. Indeed, his record not only be- speaks the statesman, but his tall, powerful frame, his keen eyes, his greying hairs and moustache and his frank manner of speech impress you with the feeling that here is the finest type of American public servant. I may say with no disrespect intended that Governor Case could readily he cast by any motion picture director for the part of a Governor or a diplomat or a high Govern- ment official, for he even looks the part." Leon E. Varnum is teacher of physics in the Lincoln High School, Jersey City, N. J., and lives at 286 Sherman Avenue, Teaneck, N. J. He has two sons. Alden and Richard, who are about ready for college. Nathan Sternsher was the Democratic candidate for office of District Attorney for the southern district of Massachusetts in the recent election. He had no opposition in the primary, and he made a strong cam- paign. The political district includes Bris- tol, Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket Counties, a large and difficult territory to cover. 1909 William Davis Miller was elected a direc- tor of the Providence Athenarum at the 1934 annual meeting in September.

Hughes '17, who was soloist of the evening. 1910 Daniel W. Abercrombie is with the Equitable Life Assurance Society, Room 3211, 120 Broadway, New York City. There are two other Brown men in the same office, Richard D. Heins '28 and W. H. Schofield '24. 1911 Wendell S. Brown has been elected a director of the Edgewood Yacht Club, Edgewood, R. I. 1912 Capt. Wiley H. Marble has been acting as camp commander at Camp Weeks, CCC, Putnamville, Vt. "The officers up here are ambitious," he said in a recent letter. "They want to organize a football team. I sug- gested touch football, and several were in- sulted. . . . At times it is foolish to try and conceal your age." Wiley is coming back to Worcester two week-ends this month to referee Holy Cross Freshman football games. Preston H. Hood is taking an active part in arranging the program of the Fall River, Mass., Civic Forum, which is bringing a prominent speaker to the city once a week this fall and winter.

Bill, is a member of the Freshman football squad at Brown. 101 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY W. F. (Chink) Tewhill's football team, representing the Horace Mann School for Boys, scored a noteworthy triumph last month by defeating Lawrenceville by two touchdowns. Caswell Adams, sports writer on the y^ew Tor\ Herald-Tribune, spoke of "Ump" Tewhill in his story, which nick- name may be up to date, but which doesn't sound just right to these old ears. 1915 John S. Roney has resigned as president of Rogreen Publications, Inc., publishers of The Executive Purchaser and gone back to his old job as Cleveland representative of yiews-\Vee\, Inc., the well-known weekly magazine, with his offices at 1050 Hanna Building, Cleveland.

Cannon was an aide to the Chief Marshal of the annual Holy Name parade in Providence, Sunday, Sept. 23. Walter R. McGinn, who received his LL.B. from Harvard in 1933, is associate counsel for the Veterans Charitable Legal Association, Inc., 619 Washington Street, Room 506, Boston. Walter was ill in vet- erans hospitals in Massachusetts from 1922 to 1931. When we spoke of John M. Dowe's can- didacy for Congress from the Second Con- necticut District last month the editor gave him the wrong numeral. We apologize to him and 1918. 1919 William H.

Bruce Company, world's largest manufac- turer of hardwood floorings, as manager of the Terminix Division. Things are going nicely but my big handicap is that Brown men are few and far between in this section. However, on a trip through the East last month I did manage to see my old buddies, 'Duffy" Myers and 'Chick' Cuddeback in Philadelphia and New York, respectively. 'Duffy' had plenty of beer on tap and 'Chick' was wearing a black derby."

He"s one of the country"s youngest college heads, his 31st birthday coming next February. His inaugural address dealt with the importance of education "in fitting men and women for happy lives in a turbulent world" and was a vigorous and chastening piece of writing. Easton Louttit and his brother Roblcy '3 2, who own a farm and camp in West Greenwich, R. I., suspected a water snake of killing their baby ducks and geese. They trapped the snake on a week-end in the country, then opened it to see if there were any signs of ducklings in its stomach. They found the snake was carrying a family of 36 little snakes, all alive, enclosed in a sort of sausage-skin bag, each separated from the next by a kind of knot. Charles H. Morhouse, Lt., M.C., fol- lowed the legendary example of General Sheridan when the textile strike broke out this fall. "Ty" was 27 miles away from his barracks at the time and had to ride his "trusty mount" back posthaste, he writes. He is now assigned to Plattsburg Barracks, N. Y., having been transferred from Fort Sam Houston, a change of the earlier orders that would have put him on transport duty. Since Plattsburg is only 70 miles north of his home town, Ticonderoga, he is now able to have an occasional week-end in the sur- roundings that gave him his nickname. A recent letter expressed the hope that he would reach Providence for the Colgate game. 1926 Ernie Intlehouse keeps moving.

"Remington and Sobel will have charge of recruiting and agency building," raid The Spectator, a life insurance journal in its issue of October 4. "In their first year in the business (1928) both men paid for $250,000 each in personal production. Their work caused their election as vice presidents of the Mellor agency.

Those We Mourn 1873 GEORGE TiLDEN Brown, retired justice of the Rhode Island Superior Court and known in his undergraduate days as a star member of the Brown crew, died at his home in Providence, Oct. 1, 1934. He resigned from the bench in 1923 and had been in poor health for the past five years. Born in West Greenwich, June 29, 1848, the son of Peter Tilden and Roxalana (Pot- ter) Brown, he prepared for college at East Greenwich Academy and Newport High School. His fine physique and great strength made him a valuable asset to the Brown crew, and he stood out as an oars- man. After graduation he studied law for a year in the offices of B. N. and S. S. Lapham, won his LL.B. at Albany Law School in 1875, and became a member of the New York bar. Returning to Provi- dence, he continued his studies and was admitted to the Rhode Island bar. In 1877 he went to the General Assembly as Representative from West Greenwich. Ten years later, as a resident of Providence, he again served in the General Assembly. He was Senator from Providence in 1889 and 1891, and in 1893 went to the House once more. As Representative and as Senator he was an active member of major committees. In 1888 he was a delegate from Rhode Island to the Democratic national convention. He was candidate for State At- torney General on several occasions, and in 1896 ran unsuccessfully for Congress. In 1905, when the Superior Court was created. Judge Brown was named as one of the six judges. He was the first Democrat to sit on the bench for at least 25 years. He retired in March, 1923. In the previous year he was a candidate for Governor on the Demo- cratic ticket, but was defeated in the State convention. After leaving the bench he removed to California. But the call of Rhode Island was too strong, and he came back to re-establish his home in Providence. He was a member of Nestell Lodge of Masons, Crescent Lodge of Odd Fellows, the Elmwood, Wanna- moisett and Squantum Clubs, Providence Royal Arch Chapter, the American and Rhode Island Bar Associations, the Rhode Island Historical Society, and Delta Phi. His colleagues and fellow attorneys ad- mired him for his strict attention to his judicial duties, "his uniform courtesy and consideration," and his ability as a jurist. He was married Aug. 29, 1876, to Miss Ida R. Williams, who survives, with a daughter, Mrs. Gertrude Mason of Paw- tucket, wife of Frank F. Mason "08, and iive grandchildren. 1876 DR. Eugene Pride King, for nearly 46 years an able and indefatigable worker for the betterment of public health, died suddenly at Jane Brown Hospital, Provi- dence, Sept. 6, 1934. after an operation. He was the friend and contemporary of Dr. Charles V. Chapin, his classmate, and he and Dr. Chapin worked side by side in the Providence Health Department until ad- vancing age compelled their retirement. Dr. King was horn in Apponaug, R. I., Nov. 5, 1854, the son of Absalom Pride and Celia Ann (Hendricks) King. After two years in Providence High School and two years in the Episcopal Academy, Che- shire, Conn., he entered Brown, from which he received his A.B. in 1876, and his A.M. in 1879. He won his M.D. at Jefferson Med- ical College in 1880 and commenced prac- tice in Providence. In 1885 he began his career with the Health Department by a house-to-house campaign to urge vaccina- tion against smallpox. He spent his days in this way and his evenings at City Hall, vac- cinating citizens who heeded his advice. In 1893 he became medical inspector as successor to the late Dr. Gardner T. Swarts. In 1914 he was chosen by Dr. Chapin, then Superintendent of Health, to he deputy superintendent and deputy city registrar. Throughout the years he was "an avid assis- tant to Dr. Chapin in his researches and acquired a vast fund of first hand knowl- edge about communicable diseases." With Dr. Chapin in 1925-26 he acccumulated records of more than 6,000 cases of measles then rampant in Providence. In 1932 he announced his plan to retire, and left office in April, 1933. The City Council, in a joint resolution, expressed its "deep appre- ciation of his long and faithful service, its sincere regret that the city is to lose such an efficient, faithful and conscientious pub- lic servant." Since retirement Dr. King had busied himself with reading, and with writing short stories based on his medical experiences. He was married June 25, 1921, to Miss Jessie Augusta Shurtleff, R.N., who survives. He was a member of the Providence Medical Society, the Rhode Island Medical Society, All Saints Episcopal Church, and Chi Phi, now Sigma Chi. 1878 ALFRED Nelson Fairbank died in Graf- ton, Vt., Aug. 2, 1934, the Alumni Office has been informed. He had been medical student, teacher, business man and farmer, and for the past 15 years or more had lived in Grafton.

Born in Princeton, Mass., April 7, 1852, the son of Horatio N. and Lucy Ann (Woodward) Fairbank, he prepared at Worcester Academy and at Brown took a lively interest in rowing on the Seekonk, a popular sport of the day. A new Brown boat house was built, and new shells were ac- quired while he was a Freshman. After receiving his A.B. in 1878 and his A.M. in 1880, Fairbank planned to study medicine. He did so for a while in a Prov- idence office, but gave it up to become a school teacher. He was also a horticulturist and a farmer during his changing career. He had been out of touch with his class- mates for many years until 1925-26, when he began writing to some of them. He was married Oct. 7, 1915, to Mrs. Martha E. Rich and was divorced from her in 1923. His immediate survivors are a brother, George H. Fairbanks, Fitzwilliam, N. H., a nephew and two nieces. His fra- ternity was Chi Phi, now Sigma Chi. 1895 DR.

It is founded on a spirit of fair dealing with the public, with employees and with those who have invested their money in the business. "The fact that the responsibility for such a large part of the entire telephone service of the country rests solely upon this Company and its Associated Com- panies also imposes on the management an unusual obligation to the public to see to it that the service shall at all times be adequate, dependable and satis- factory to the user. Obviously, the only sound policy that will meet these obligations is to continue to fur- nish the best possible telephone service at the lowest cost consistent with financial safety. This policy is bound to succeed in the long run and there is no justification for acting otherwise than for the long run. ... "Earnings must be sufficient to assure the best possible telephone service at all times and to assure the continued financial integrity of the business. Earnings that are less than adequate must result in telephone service that is something less than the best possible. . . . The margin of safety in earnings is only a small percentage of the rate charged for service, but that we may carry out our ideals and aims it is essential that this margin be kept adequate. . . . This is fundamental in the policy of the management." Quoted paraf-raphs from an address by Walter S. Cifford, president of the Americ€in Telephone and Telegraph Company, at Dallas, October 20, 1927.

He was active as a sports director, and in the social life of the post. Tennis was his favorite game; as organizer and president of the tennis association, he made the sport a major one at Schofield. His interest in all sports was great. Major Stiness was twice married. He and Miss Ines Sprague, granddaughter of for- mer Governor William Sprague, caused a sensation by eloping and marrying June 21, 1907. Their only child, Avice Wheaton Stiness, in 1930 married Baron Rozner of the Hungarian nobility. His second mar- riage took place at Fort Strong, Boston Har- bor, in February, 1923, to Miss Alice Mott, daughter of the Venerable Marshall E. Mott, Archdeacon of the Episcopal diocese of Western Massachusetts. Mrs. Stiness and the Baroness Rozner survive. Major Stiness belonged to Delta Kappa Epsilon. 1921 REGINALD Gilchrist Sykes, vice pres- ident of the Associated Alumni for the New England Region and a member of the Executive Committee, died suddenly in Brookline, Mass., Oct. 9, 1934. "Cheery, energetic Bill Sykes," George C. Carens characterized him in the Boston Transcript, and all who knew and were associated with Bill will say that the characterization is an apt one. Mr. Carens also praised Sykes's "devo- tion for the interests of Brown, his inde- fatigable efforts in making a success of University Club affairs, his sponsorship of the New England indoor college track meets." Sykes was, indeed, one of the most active workers for Brown and for inter- collegiate sports in Boston. He began his work in the Brown Club of Boston in 1922; he was president of the Club in 1930, mem- ber of the executive committee, and chair- man of the annual dinner committee for years. As contact man for Brown in Boston newspaper offices he was unexcelled. He started the University Club track meet — now an annual event — for New England colleges. He was chairman of the Boston Olympic Finance Committee in 193 2. He was managing editor of the Uni- versity Club News for several years. He knew men of every college with which Brown likes to be associated. His vocation was insurance, in which he had engaged since leaving college. At the time of his death he was president of Sykes 6? Sykes, Inc., general insurance brokers. He was a member of the Brookline Finance Commit- tee of Thirty, a past master of Beth-horon Lodge of Masons, a director of the Kiwanis Chib of Brookline, and a member of the Board of Governors of the University Club, St. Andrews Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, Boston Commandery, Knights Templar, Aleppo Temple of the Mystic Shrine, and Delta Kappa Epsilon. Bill was born in Passaic, N. J., Oct. 2, 1899, the son of Harold E. and S. D. (Gil- christ) Sykes. He came to Brown from Pen- nington Seminary in 1917, interrupted his studies to become a student officer at Platts- burg and Camp Lee, Va., and left Brown in February, 1919, to enter business. He was married July 16, 1926, to Miss Evelyn O. Dunbar, who survives, with a son, Wendell G. Sykes, his mother, and a sister, Mrs. Lin- ley C. Happ of Providence. People, Like Trains, often get sidetracked Go down to any railroad freight yard and see for yourself . . the empty, idle cars being shunted over on a siding to make way for the swift-moving, loaded trains that are "going places". Humans often get side-tracked, temporarily at least, some time in their lives. Some "come back", some never do, because they have no reserve motive power of their own. Provide yourself with auxiliary power while you are earning . . build a thrift account with Old Colony by regular monthly saving. If Life tries to sidetrack you, there'll be power to take you off the siding. Start saving NOW. ftOLD Colony s:^CO-OPERATlVE BANK 58 "WEYBOSSET ST..

Pembroke Chronicle BY JANE SANFORD '3 5 COLLEGE opened with the usual round of Freshman activities. This year the Freshman Council, under Mary Ful- lerton, did a splendid job of orienting the Freshmen. Freshman week has come and gone, with the first year girls having to wear huge blue oilcloth ears and carrying conspicuous toys around with them. Those who failed to obey rules had to carry their books around in a pillow case for a day. It was all in fun. November 1 saw the per- manent Seniors being assigned their Fresh- men. The Seniors took the children down the line at the Reception and have also given them a party. Dr. Barbour has offi- cially greeted us, too. Teas have been frequent, beginning with Record Tea at which Constance Saun- ders, this year's editor, spoke very ably on college newspapers. Komians gave an affair, directed by Winifred Small, with Mrs. Sarah Minchen Barker there to meet the new girls. Brun Mael socially helped out the college by giving the first informal dance which was a nice affair, with autumn leaves and rose lights for decorations. Had a grand group of patrons and patronesses who seemed to enjoy themselves heartily. For the Honors Day Convocation more professors from the Hill showed up than in any of the three years I have been here. Miss Kathryn McHale spoke on Education for Women. Christian Association is spon- soring a series of talks on Religion in rela- tion to various fields. Komians gave a Chapel play by Essex Dane on October 30th. Pembroke lost its first field hockey game to Radcliffe 2-1 in a well-contested match. The team looks very good this year; it seems to steadily improve each year. Natalie Smith is the head of Hockey for the season. Brun Mael photographer has been here tak- ing individuals and groups and the college in general will not speak civilly to Dorothy Richardson, Dorothy Schloss, or myself because of our vocal — and not always po- lite — efforts to get groups to-gether and pictures taken. But it's over for another year. And I think this is all for another month.
