IN MEMORY OF OUR HISTORIC DEAD The Monthly is in receipt of a let- ter under date of November 19 from William Gammell, '78, who is chair- man of the Corporation committee in charge of the proposed memo- rial gateway in honor of Brown's war-time dead. Mr. Gammell states that the total amount now subscribed (by less than twenty-five persons, by the way) is $18,935, while the cost without the iron work will be ap- proximately $32,000. It is thought best not to solicit funds for the me- morial, but for the present to depend on voluntary subscriptions. Sub- scriptions, in cash, checks or pledges, may be sent to T. B. Appleget, exec- utive secretary, Brown University. Pledges may be made payable on De- cember 1, 1919, March 1, 1920, and June 1, 1920, or on any of these dates. The contract for the gateway has been executed by the treasurer of the University with the C. B. Maguire Company as authorized by the Corpo- ration. The arch is to be of Indiana lime- stone, A photograph of the archi- tect's model was printed in the Alum- ni Monthly a few months ago. The following two self-explanatory let- ters, one from the architect of the gateway, Mr. Coolidge, and the other from Mr. Klauder, the Philadelphia architect called in independently for counsel, will be found interesting: October 8, 1919. William Gammell, Esq., Chairman Brown Memorial Commit- tee, Providence, R. I. Dear Mr. Gammell : In answer to your request I wish to make the following statement re- garding the design of the proposed Memorial Arch for Brown Univer- sity. I have endeavored to express in the memorial the spirit which was dis- played by the men who gave their all, not only for their Alma Mater but for their country and the whole world. It has been my idea it should rep- resent: (1) Solidity, (2) Purity in feeling, and (3) Restraint. Solidity, implying that the world should hereafter be founded on prin- ciples which will stand the test of time and be a fitting foundation for whatever may come in the future ; Purity, for the devotion that cast aside selfish thought and kept the men steadfast with their eyes toward the high ideals which led them on through many hardships, trials and vicissitudes ; Restraint, which they willingly suffered to obtain those ideals, sub- jugating their own wills to those in authority for the good of the common cause and of humanity. With these principles in mind I have endeavored to create a simple, dignified monumental design of stur- dy proportions, with the plain sur- faces enhancing the value of the dec- oration, and the decoration carefully studied to express the memorial and the monumental feeling as mentioned above. The wreaths do not need explana- tion. The winged figures supporting the panel above the arch have repre- sented victory and fame since the early Greek Nike, and the eagle above in the crowning motive with the draped flags supplies the military symbol. I have suggested, in the design of the main gates in the centre of each panel, the coat of arms of the Univer- sity on one side and of the State of Rhode Island on the other side. Finally, I have endeavored to make 86 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 87 a design which in all future time as well as at the present will be worthy of the principles and standards that the University has stood for during the many years of its existence. Very truly yours, Charles A. Coolidge August 9, 1919. Mr. Edwin A. Burlingame, Comptrol- ler, Brown University, Providence, R. I. Dear Mr. Burlingame: Pursuant to the conversation which I had with you in Providence on Tuesday, August 5, and my examina- tion of the drawings and model of the Memorial Gateway for Brown Uni- versity, concerning which you asked me to act in the capacity of consult- ing architect, I give below my conclu- sions : The design has in large degree that character which makes it always ap- pear as essentially a memorial. In fulfilling this purpose, it has among other attributes that of simplicity which has required the use of few architectural terms. Hence the de- sign would perpetuate the traditional spirit of Brown University — the spirit inherited from the original building. The size and scale are appropriate to its function of being one of several entrances to the campus. It is emi- nently proper that the arch and the two minor entrances should be co-or- dinated, as they are, with tt>e street and sidewalks which lead up to this entrance. The placing of the names on the curved wing walls is fortunate, be- cause while reading them one would have the sense of protection from passing traffic. It might be worthy of consideration, however, whether it would be better to have the names on the principal feature of the entrance rather than on the wing walls. For my own part, I can readily accept their present location. It is desirable that the names be carved in the stone itself as here contemplated, since so often in a memorial of this kind they are placed on bronze tablets. This tends to convey the impression that the tablets themselves are the memo- rials and that the rest of the struc- ture is merely a convenient support. In conclusion I wish to give my emphatic approval to the design of the gateway as a memorial to the men of Brown University who lost their lives in the recent war. Very truly yours, Charles Z. Klauder A GRADUATE APPOINTMENT OFFICE A Graduate Appointment Office has been established at the University in charge of Thomas B. Appleget, exec- utive secretary. This office will un- dertake to find qualified Brown men for such positions as -come to its at- tention and will also endeavor to place alumni, desiring such service, in suitable positions. About six thousand registration blanks have recently been mailed to all Brown men, including both grad- uates and non-graduates. These blanks have been designed so that not only will Brown men desiring posi- tions be able to apply for the services of the Appointment Office, but also all Brown men who have opportuni- ties for qualified Brown men in their own business or who are aware of such opportunities can send this in- formation to the University. Not only will business and professional positions be handled, but through the cooperation of Professor S. S. Colvin, director of the Brown School of Ed- 88 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY ucation, Brown will be placed in touch with teaching and administra- tive positions in secondary schools and colleges. The Graduate Appointment Bu- reau is building up personal records which include Brown men of a vari- ety of age, experience and training, many of whom are immediately avail- able for satisfactory positions. Em- ployers who have opportunities for such men in their business, educators who have vacancies in their schools, are urgently requested to write at once to the Graduate Appointment Office at Brown University, stating their needs in detail. ASSOCIATED ALUMNI NEWS The Associated Alumni has com- piled figures showing the compara- tive standing of States from which students attending the University at the present time have come. The comparison is based on the percent- age relation between the number of alumni in a state and the students from the State. For example: there are 224 Brown men in New Jersey and there are 74 students from that state now in college, or 33 per cent. The ranking is as follows by per- centage : New Jersey 33 Minnesota 3.2 Maine 32.6 California Kentucky- 30.7 Wisconsin Connecticut 28 Kansas Ohio 17 Virginia Rhode Island 16.7 Tennessee Massachusetts 15.2 Texas New Hampshire 15.1 Louisiana Delaware 14.3 Mississippi Montana 14.3 South Carolina West Virginia 14.3 Alabama Maryland 13.6 Nebraska Iowa 13.5 Arizona New York 11.9 North Carolina Vermont 11.9 North Dakota Missouri 10.8 New Mexico Pennsylvania 10.3 South Dakota Oregon 10 Idaho Illinois 8.2 Arkansas Georgia 7.7 Nevada D. of C. 7.1 Utah Indiana 4.5 Alaska Michigan 4.2 Wyoming Washington 3.5 Florida Colorado 3.4 Oklahoma It is interesting to note that China, the Dutch West Indies, England, Panama and Porto Rico, with one student from each, have higher stand- ings than the last twenty-four States named above. Wyoming, by the way, with only one alumnus, could easily make a 100 per cent, record. At a later date figures for individ- ual cities in which Brown clubs are located will be published. The class of 1902 has so far con- tributed the largest number of mem- bers to the Associated Alumni. The first ten classes in order are '02, '97, '03, '15, '01, '16, '07, '08, '09, '95. At the meeting of the executive committee held in Providence, Octo- ber 27th, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : "Whereas, the executive committee of the Assodated Alumni of Brown University recognizes the pressing need of the University for an endow- ment fund to provide adequate com- pensation for the teaching staff and others in the employ of the Univer- sity, and with which to meet other necessary requirements of the Uni- versity, and "Whereas, it is the duty and pleas- ure of the Associated Alumni to fur- ther the interests of the University in every way possible, therefore "Be it resolved, that the executive committee of the Associated Alumni of Brown University hereby places the services of the Associated Alumni at the disposal of the President and the Corporation of Brown University BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 89 for the raising of such an endowment fund and urges that immediate action be taken to provide a sum which shall be adequate to meet the above men- tioned needs of the University." Announcement of the employment of an alumni manager, who will de- vote his entire time to work for the Associated Alumni, will probably be made next month. ARMISTICE DAY AT BROWN Armistice Day was pictured as the dawn of a new era for America and the world at the exercises held on the morning of Nov. 11 at Brown. Near- ly 900 students and members of the faculty crowded into Sayles Hall to participate in the ceremony. At 11 o'clock, the hour when peace descended on the battlefields one year before, the chapel bell was sounded and continued to ring for two min- utes. During this time the students in every class room, laboratory and library rose and stood at attention in honor of those who gave their lives for the cause. Observance of the day was brought to a close with the Brown Victory Ball in Sayles Hall in the evening. Abbe Ernest Dimnet brought a message from the University of Lille to the audience in Sayles. The other speakers of the day were Rev. James DeWolf Perry, Episcopal Bishop of Rhode Island, and Kenneth D. John- son and Henry T. Samson of the un- dergraduates. The students gave the speakers a hearty reception, but pandemonium almost broke out when about 30 men of the Brown A. E. F. Club, who had been "there," got up and sang "Over There." The audience refused to be silenced until an encore was given. The singers finally responded with "Madelon," the famous French marching song, in which Abbe Dim- net joined. The Victory Ball at Sayles Hall was attended by about 150 couples. At midnight all activity was suspend- ed for two minutes, during which time a silent tribute was paid to those men who sacrificed their lives for the allied cause. The decorations for the aflfair were tastefully carried out in red, white and blue, American flags being grace- fully draped over the gallery and around the platform at the other end of the hall occupied by the orchestra. Directly under the portraits of the fa- mous sons of Brown which line either side of the hall, were placed a row of settees, back of which was hung red, white and blue bunting. On the right of the entrance was an inclosed space named the Cafe de la Paix and another directly opposite called the Cafe de la Victoire, each named after two celebrated Parisian cafes. In these two enclosures and in two others at the further end of the hall refreshments were served. One of the latter alcoves displayed the fa- miliar red triangle of the Y. M. C. A., while the other carried the words Sal- vation Army. A. E. F. CLUB At the organization meeting of the A. E. F. Club, held Oct. 2, at which about fifty members were present, a definite plan of activities for the year was perfected and an election of officers was held. The latter resulted in the choosing of Hugh Robert- son, ex-'19, president; P. O. Abbott, ex-'19, vice president; K. D. Johnson, ex-'19, treasurer, and H. T. Samson, ex-'18, secre- tary. An executive committee was organ- ized, consisting of the four officers, ex-of- ficio, and three members appointed by the officers: B. V. Moore, ex-'19, R. E. Larkin, ex-'19, and C. B. Larrabee, ex-'18. DR. FAUNCE'S TRIBUTE TO THE CARDINAL As a matter of record we here ap- pend the forceful address of Presi- dent Faunce in bestowing the degree of doctor of laws on Cardinal Mercier on Sept. 30 : Never has Brown University op- ened her gates to any guest more gladly than to-day. We welcome a scholar, a professor, a religious lead- er, whose message entered into our hearts five years before he crossed the sea. We give to him not only the freedom of the campus, but the un- stinted admiration and friendship which Americans always give to those who dare greatly in the cause of human liberty. Every American university is ju- venile when compared with the great seats of learning in Europe. Yet even here we venture to remind the Cardinal that he is treading on his- toric ground. From the windows of this old University Hall once the sol- diers of France looked down on this campus, after they had come with La- fayette to help a struggling nation. Here at the close of the American Revolution came George Washington to receive the same degree which we are to confer to-day. And the spirit of Lafayette and Washington still lives. It is incarnate in the man who comes to us and honors us by his presence this morning. In him still walks abroad the courage of the great founders of human freedom, the in- trepid leaders of men and servants of God. He wields those intellectual and moral forces which are mightier than all the munitions and armaments of the world. These young men and women, your Eminence, welcome you with enthu- siasm as one of the commanding gen- erals of the Great War. Three years ago standing in the cathedral of Brussels you said: "My children, never bend your necks to the con- queror." We welcome the man who did not bend. The University begs you now to receive its official tribute of honor and respect. By authority of the Board of Fel- lows of Brown University, I hereby confer the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws upon His Eminence, Cardi- nal Mercier, Archbishop of Malines, Primate of Belgium, sometime Pro- fessor in the University of Louvain, author, philosopher, Christian apos- tle, who through dark and bitter days kept the great soul of a small nation alive, protector of weakness, cham- pion of justice, who never yielded right to might, but by invincible faith subdued kingdoms and put to flight armies of aliens.

That is "that twelfth man." He is generally from out of town, but that is natural, as the majority of a jury usually come from there, as their appearance strongly emphasizes. Quite likely this "twelfth man" comes from Pawtucket. He has a determined jaw and don't-care attitude. The rest of the jury look askance at him, but that only stiffens him up. The judge has charged the law and told him that he is a coor- dinate part of the court and his de- cision on the facts will stand unchal- lenged, so he proposes to be as big a man as the judge. He says his opin- ion in the case is just as good as that of any one on the jury and perhaps of all the other eleven put together. His mental vision may be some- what oblique, and he sheds argument as a duck sheds water ; it does not get through his 0-pinions. It is his op- portunity to use his brief authority and make eleven other men submit to his whims and compel them to pass many melancholy hours amid the dirt, bad air and stale tobacco smoke of the jury room. If he is physically deformed he appears to take this opportunity to get even with the world. Nobody likes him yet all must plead with him, joke with him and try to pierce his obstinacy with shafts of satire and volleys of con- tempt. Yet he defies coercion and says he has plenty of time and ci- gars, and can stay there as long as any man. Of course no one knows which one of a jury is going to be "that twelfth man." If they did, one or the other of the counsel would have challenged him. He slips into the jury box undis- covered, on his fell errand. By caus- ing a disagreement of the jury he wastes the time of the court, the money of the State and the resources of the litigants. He is proud to have fought eleven men and won a petty victory. The courts of the State are maintained at a great public charge and this "twelfth man" helps to in- crease it. There is just one way to prevent this obstinate fellow from obstructing the cause of justice, that is to obliterate him and remove a hazard in law by allowing ten or eleven men on a jury to bring in a legal verdict and letting "that twelfth man" stay in the jury room to enjoy himself alone. Then there will be fewer disagreements in jury trials and the one man's power will be bro- ken. As I suggested, you can't tell who "that twelfth man" will be until the sheriff locks you in the jury room, and there you may discover that you are the twelfth man, caged up with eleven obstinate fellows. I remember one case where I was cast for the part and had to play the role to a finish. In that case an old gentleman of respectable habiliments let a house to a woman for $50 per annum. With that propensity to "put your foot in it" which is a peculiarity of some people, while she was walking in her garden one day she stepped into a hidden cistern which had been covered with planks and the planks covered with earth so as to effectu- ally conceal its existence. Suddenly she felt one-half of her was descend- ing toward China, but the other half caught up with it and pulled it back on earth. She thought that she was entitled to the credit and emoluments of the discovery and forthwith ob- tained the services of a doctor and a lav/yer and abstained from toil for 91 92 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY about two weeks. Then she sued the old gentleman who was her landlord for $5000 damages. The jury were treated to an extended and minute description of the anatomy of a woman and the potential harm which might result from her stepping into a concealed cistern, but the doctor failed to testify to any serious or per- manent injury in this particular case. The old gentleman in consternation at being sued for this great sum could only say that he knew nothing about this old cistern and very little about this woman who was trying to absorb his patrimony, and left it to the jury to decide the amount of his liability. When we were locked in I took a pencil and paper and figured the loss and damage to the woman, the cost of doctor and possible nurse, medi- cine and loss of the usual emoluments from her labor for something less than two weeks, etc. What I consid- ered a liberal allowance was $250, and when the foreman polled the jury I gave my estimate of damages. The others went me much better — $800, $1000 and $1200, and finally an el- derly Irishman ended with $3000. I explained to him that his sum was equal to 60 years rent and about 10 times the value of the property, and would probably impoverish the poor old gentleman, whose only knowledge of the cistern was brought to him by his tenant. Moreover, no serious or lasting injury was proven and he should put himself in the pos^ition of this unfortunate landlord. Then we continued the process of polling the jury. Each time my estimate was the same $250 and the elderly Irishman piped up "Three thousand dollars." I soon became the butt of much jest and raillery. Among the jibes hurled at me was that I was unmarried and therefore knew nothing about a woman and was unfit to sit on a jury when her interests were to be con- sidered. Hour after hour I answered these good-natured assaults with such wit as nature had granted me and with proper good humor; and then we argued and polled again. After the jury had been polled about eight times and the chasm between $250 and $3000 seemed wider and wider, my nerves became a little frayed and I saw that a frontal at- tack on these eleven men was useless ; I realized that some psychological attack on their flank must be started which might disorganize their invin- cible array. I accordingly arose and rehearsed my position and said I noticed that there was a slight difference in our opinions, and in deference to the views of such a fine and generous body of men I had concluded to shift my position and reconsider my esti- mate more in conformity with their generous impulses, but they must un- derstand that my new estimate was final and would not be changed. I looked the $3000 gentleman straight in the eye and said I could not budge further, that my new offer was final and stretched my conscience to the limit; but I did not want to appear obstinate or lacking in appreciation of the good will of the jury, there- fore, after much consideration I would now change my estimate to $350. I noted signs of excitement in the face of the elderly Irishman. Then he jumped up and shouted "Take him up quick ; if you have got that fellow up to $350, take him up quick before he takes it back." The golden cord was loosed, the vote was unanimous, and a very happy jury marched into court with a verdict of $350, while I felt I had protected a poor old man and that "that twelfth man" was some good after all. Robert P. Brown DELTA TAU DELTA'S NEW HOME The Brown chapter of the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity has arranged for the purchase of the Frank D. Sim- mons estate, on the southeast corner of Prospect and Meeting streets, just across from the Christian Science Church. It is said the price was in the neighborhood of $30,000. The proposition has been under consideration for some time by the Delta Tau Delta Alumni Association of the chapter, which carried on the negotiations with the agent for the property. The Delta Tau Delta chapter at AS SEEN BY THE BROWN HERALD The campus nuisance: "Have you got a cigarette?" Some one has remarked "All is fair in love and rushing." Is no one going to take up the privilege of eating in the fraternity houses? After so many years of agitation, this sudden quietness seems odd. The announcement of interchange of Brown, which received its charter in 1896, was formerly situated in a fra- ternity house at 94 Angell street. This house was dropped when the war broke out, and the chapter mov- ed to rooms in South Caswell Hall. The alumni committee of 25, which was instrumental in arranging for the purchase of the new chapter house, is headed by H. M. Sherwood, '09, as chairman; A. B. Lemon, '13, and H. C. White, '01. The undergraduate chapter is al- ready in possession of the house. courses with Harvard makes you think of the union church services so common now in our New England villages. Did you hear about those Freshmen pay- ing a social call en masse on Pembroke? What a terrible precedent to establish. We wonder where our former guest, Car- dinal Mercier, is storing away all those honorary degrees. At least this is a good way for him to know what universities he visited. 93 WOMEN'S COLLEGE NEWS AND VIEWS Enrollment The Women's College opened last September with the largest enroll- ment in its history, 271 students. Of these 48 are Seniors, 50 Juniors, 62 Sophomores and 94 Freshmen, There are 3 candidates for the degree of bachelor of education and 14 special students. While most of these stu- dents are from the New England States, women have come to the col- lege from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Delaware and Minnesota. Improvements in Grounds and Build- ings Perhaps the greatest addition to the campus during the summer was the building of Metcalf Hall, the new dormitory on Gushing street. Forty- nine students' rooms are already oc- cupied. Miller Hall is also filled, bringing the total number of resident students to over a hundred. The house owned by the college at 182 Meeting street has been made in- to three large recitation rooms and a small committee room for the use of students. In Pembroke Hall the locker rooms have been renovated and furnished with new steel lockers. Additions to the Staff The administrative staff of the Women's College has grown to in- clude thirteen members. Miss Nellie E. Bussell of Spokane, Wash., has been appointed instructor in hygiene and physical education. Miss Bussell is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and of the Sargent School for Physical Education. She has been a teacher of physical education in the public schools of Grand Rapids, Mich,, physical director of the College of Industrial Arts, Denton, Texas, in- structor in the Department of Phys- ical Education at the University of Illinois and director of the Summer School of Physical Education there. Miss Charlotte Haywood of Lynn, Mass., has been appointed assistant- in biology. Miss Haywood is a grad- uate of Mount Holyoke College. Mrs. Marietta B. Haskell of Ban- gor, Maine, has assumed the duties of head of Miller Hall. Miss Emily S. Paddock is head of Metcalf Hall. A graduate nurse is in residence at the dormitories. Social Activities Not a week passes but what some party or "stunt" is given by the un- dergraduates. The first Sunday af- ternoon in each month all the mem- bers of the colleges are invited to tea at either Metcalf or Miller Hall. In October Professor Collier told of his experiences overseas and in Novem- ber Professor and Mrs. Everett were guests of honor, while Mrs. Horace Bissell, president of the Alumnae As- sociation, used for the first time the silver tea service presented by the alumnae to Metcalf Hall. The last Friday evening in Septem- ber the Christian Association gave the annual reception to the Fresh- men. Hallowe'en was celebrated by an all-college party in the gymna- sium. The first Brownie Stunt took the form of a circus, the "biggest show on earth." A Japanese cabaret given by the Sophomores added to the fund already started for a social hall. In celebration of the fourteenth an- niversary of the inauguration of Lida Shaw King as dean of the Women's College, a studio dinner was given by Miss Eleanor B. Green at her home. A pleasant surprise occurred during the dinner. As the guests were eat- ing, members of the class of 1918 ser- enaded them from the garden. Miss 94 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 95 Green is the honorary member of this class. Fall Meeting of the Alumnae The annual fall meeting of the Alumnae Association was held in Pembroke Hall on Saturday after- noon, November 15. The chapel was filled with women who came to wel- come Mabel S. Le Valley, 1900, Grace M. Sherwood, 1906, and Elizabeth Morrison, 1910, who are home after service abroad. Miss Le Valley told of her work in a canteen at Nantes and Miss Sherwood described recrea- tion for the soldiers at Aix-les-Bains. Dean Lida Shaw King reviewed re- cent happenings at the college, speak- ing particularly of the growth of the campus. "We do not have the beau- tiful little campus simply for a breathing space or an artistic set- ting," she said. "We have it because we want our girls to grow strong, that they may be wiser. I believe that anything that helps make a wo- man more intelligent is a legitimate expenditure." Before these speeches several no- tices were given by the president, Mrs. Horace Bissell. She urged mem- bers of the association to read the Alumnae Record. The members of a nominating committee for a mem- ber of the Advisory Council were an- nounced as follows : Louise J. Brough, 1897; Edith H. Williston, 1896; Ruth Cook, 1914; Mabel W. EVENING COLLEGE CLASSES A considerable extension of the evening courses in engineering has been made. Two courses are being given, one in applied me- chanics and one in electrical engineering. If the courses are successful they will be followed the next two years by classes in strength of material and materials of con- sti-uction, steam engineering, structural design, and advanced electrical engineer- ing. When the program is once completed it will be repeated every second or third year. The study of applied mechanics is de- signed for men in drafting rooms and engi- Tourtellot, 1909, and Jeanette B. Moffitt, 1910. Only eight classes, 1895, 1897, 1907, 1912, 1913, 1915, 1917 and 1918 have responded to the appeal sent for $75 for furnishing students' rooms at Metcalf Hall. Other classes were urged to make their returns at once. Proceeds of the alumnae play given last spring, $235.77, were used to equip a tea ta- ble for Metcalf Hall with a silver tea service, odd silver, linen and china. Besides this a small sum was given to help furnish a kitchenette. Miss Martha Watt, chairman of the aca- demic committee, announced that the Annie Crosby Emery Alumnae Fel- lowship fund had reached $9,202.67. The goal is $10,000. An appeal will be made to alumnae for pledges. Miss Marion Raybold, business manager of the Sepiad, announced the publication of nine copies of a Sepiad Supplement, a news sheet, in addition to the regular four copies of the magazine. This addition will in- crease the price of the Sepiad to $1.50 for the coming year. The correspond- ing secretary read a letter from Pres- ident Faunce in which he expressed the appreciation of the faculty and the corporation for the work done by the alumnae of Brown University during the war. Music was furnished during the meeting by an undergraduate quar- tette and tea was later served about the open fire in the library. neering offices, who desire to advance be- yond the stage of being mere draftsmen. The class is conducted on Wednesday and Friday evenings by Professor James A. Hall of the Mechanical Engineering De- partment. He is assisted by Eugene W. O'Brien, '19. The course in engineering covers the general principles of electricity and their application to the practical problems of the engineer. The class meets Monday and Fri- day evenings. Professor Watson and F. N. Tompkins, '18, of the Electrical Engi- neering Department are instnicting the classes. Each course continues ten weeks. 96 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Published for the Graduates of Brown Uni- versity by the Brown Alumni Magazine Co. Robert P.

The high cost of food stuffs and labor is of course to blame, here as elsewhere. The University authorities are awake to the seriousness of the problem, but as yet nobody has proposed a solution that appears adequate. Many persons are of the opinion that there should be a University commons, but when it comes to de- tails there is no general agreement. Personally we believe that the Uni- versity might properly undertake the maintenance of a general dining hall, furnishing food and service at cost. It is said, however, that if this should be done it would be necessary to make student attendance in some measure compulsory. In a city the size of Providence, where a large proportion of all the undergraduates live at home, this would work injustice — in fact it would probably be impossible. It has also been suggested that Fresh- man patronage might be required, but here again the home problem en- ters in. The college authorities would be glad to see the fraternity houses es- tablish dining rooms in their chapter houses. This practice was formerly frowned upon, but times have changed and if a few fraternities were to take some of the burden off the hands and minds of the Univer- sity they would be applauded. But here again it is believed to be neces- sary to secure alumni cooperation and responsibility. If there are to be dining rooms in the chapter houses some safeguard against possible fi- nancial embarassment and distress must be erected. Of all the pressing needs of Brown this one of proper eating facilities may not be the chief, but it comes, at this time, very near the top of the list. The Monthly wishes that Brown had an endowed dining hall. What a boon it would be ! With a fixed habi- tation and a fund large enough to enable good, wholesome food to be furnished to the undergraduate body at satisfactory prices, it would do as much for the welfare of the Univer- sity as almost any other benefaction of equal monetary value that could be mentioned. There is at present too much eating down town, in lunch rooms where in- digestible food is served. Students should customarily eat something bet- ter than sandwiches and doughnuts. Has any alumnus a solution to offer? FIVE VICTORIES, FOUR DEFEATS AND ONE TIE BROWN 20, NORWICH In the roughest football game on Andrews Field in a long time, the Brown team, mi- nus nearly all its first-string men, beat Norwich University 20 to 0, Oct. 25. Oden, whose sensational performance at quarter- back marked him as 'Varsity material, shared the honors with Shupert, whose line-plunging brought the spectators to their feet time after time. The splendid work of the Brown eleven showed to good advantage beside the rough tactics of the Vermont team. BROWN 0, SYRACUSE 13 In the face of great odds Brown put up a stiff but unsuccessful fight at Andrews Field, Nov. 2, against Syracuse University. It was a clean game throughout, and Brown's defeat was at the hands of a heav- ier and more skillful opponent. For the New Yorkers Ackley was the star, making all the scores for the Oi-ange. His two field goals were especially well ex- ecuted. For Brown "Ink" Williams and Gulian seemed to be the only men who could out- play their opponents. They both showed excellent ability. Fox, the Freshman quarter, did not appear to be running in true form, but wet ground undoubtedly made a great difference in the style of game that he is accustomed to playing. With Brooks, Annstrong and Jemail on the bench, Brown's backfield did not uncover much in the way of defence. BROWN 0, YALE 14 Brown went down to her fourth defeat of the season on Nov. 8 in the Yale Bowl, the Bulldog plowing through for two touch- downs and winning 14 to 0. The 30,000 spectators were treated to a thrilling ex- hibition, both teams making wide use of punts, forward passes, end runs and drop kicks in their attempts to score. J. Neville and Kempton for Yale and Doody and Annstrong for Brown got off some pretty punts, which won the applause of the spectators. Yale made greater use of the drop-kick, but the four attempts by Braden resulted in failures, two of them falling short of the mark, Albright, Brown's star right end, breaking through and block- ing the other two. Armstrong tried one drop for Brown, but failed to make proper connections. The following statistics are interesting: Yards on kickoff, Yale, 20; Brown, 62. Yards by rushing, Yale, 383; Brown, 112. Punts, Yale, 8; averaged 42 yards; Brown, 13, averaged 38. Running back punts, Yale, 68 yards; Brown, 10 yards. Forward pass- es completed, Yale, 7; Brown, 5; uncomple- ed, Yale, 2; Brown, 9; intercepted, Yale, 1; Brown, 2. Yards gained on forward passes, Yale, 76; Brown, 64. First downs, Yale, 14; Brown, 9. Lost on downs, Yale, 4; Brown, 2. Fumbles, Yale, 3; Brown, 3. Fumbles, recovered by Yale, 2; by Brown, 1. Fum- bles lost to Yale by Brown, 1 ; to Brown by Yale, 3. Penalties, Yale, 25 yards; Brown, 15 yards. The Brown defence, which was strong and almost impassable in the fii-st half of the battle, the score being 0-0 at the end of the half, fell to pieces in the second, and the Yale backs ripped through the line for their two tallies, one in the third and the other in the fourth period.

BROWN 7, DARTMOUTH 6 At Braves Field, Boston, Brown beat Dartmouth, Nov. 15, by a score of 7-6 be- fore 20,000 spectators. Dartmouth scored in the second period, making a touchdown. In the third period Brown topped the Green by making both a touchdown and a goal. "These were the only scores of the game. The analysis of the play shows the fol- lowing interesting facts: Brown gained 95 yards in rushing to 275 for Dartmouth, made 374 yards to 202 on punts, averaged 47 to 29 yards on punts, completed two for- ward passes out of five tried, to one out of 10 by Dartmouth, gained 26 yards on for- 97 98 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY ward passes to 10 by Dartmouth, and made five first downs to 17. Captain Nichols made Brown's only- touchdown in an extraordinary manner, catching the ball against his body almost immediately after it left a Dartmouth pun- ter's toe and carrying it swiftly down the field and across the line. Referee Langford says that in all his experience he never witnessed just such a play. He did not see the ball until it was planted behind the posts ; nor did most of the players.

The November meeting of the Advisory and Executive Committee was an innova- tion, being held in Boston, where the com- mittee was entertained at luncheon by W. V. Kellen, '72. The afternoon was spent in discussing University finances and the plans for Marston Hall, the new modern lan- guage building which has been presented by Edgar L. Marston of New York. Debating matches with nine colleges are now pending acceptance by the Brown as- sociation. A university rifle club has been organ- ized with over 100 members. The first number of the new humorous college publication, the Brown Jug, is planned for February. Basketball practice is under way, with good prospects for the team. The college orchestra, an excellent organ- ization this year, appeared at Howard, Nov. 20. The musical clubs gave an interesting program at the Narragansett Hotel Nov. 21. The Pawling Club, one of whose objects is to attract Pawling School men to Brown, will tender a dinner to Dr. F. L. Gamage, '82, headmaster of the school, and the in- structors, early in the new year. The Juniors have chosen these officers: President, R. C. Knight; First Vice Presi- dent, G. H. Adams; Second Vice President, S. L. Davis; Secretary, H. W. Peterson; Treasurer, R. P. Jones. The Sophomores have elected: President, J. E. Fawcett; Second Vice President, R. W. Moxham; Secretary, J. E. Beagan; Treasurer, T. Sweet. The Freshmen have elected the following officers: President, A. S. Fox; First Vice President, J. D. E. Jones, Jr. ; Second Vice President, H. R. Faulkner; Secretary, L. Lanpher; Treasurer, C. P. Joslin. Professor Everett addressed the Roger Williams Club, at its first meeting of the year, on "The World and the Spiritual Life of the Individual." Le Cercle Fran^ais is holding interesting and well-attended meetings. Professor John Shapley, Ph. D., of the Art Department delivered the thirteenth Annmary Brown Memorial lecture, Oct. 28, in Sayles Hall. The lecture, an illustrated one, was on the History and Architecture of Ravenna. The cross country team was defeated, in October, by the University of Maine and Rhode Island State College. The Radio Club has chosen these officers: President, E. L. Sweet, '21; Vice President, A. B. Colby, '21; Secretary, B. M. Gordon, '21; Librarian, W. E. Baker, '22; Assistant Librarian, W. H. Jilson, '22. On Nov. 7, before the students' section of the Providence Engineering Society, Professor Kenerson of the Engineering De- partment delivered an address on "An En- gineer's Observations in France." Because of the large amount of experi- mental work in the development of high speed engines for driving balloon winches which has been carried on at Brown during the past year, the department of engineer- ing has received one of the latest models of the 12-cylinder Liberty airplane engines from the Navy Department. The engine has been set up in the mechanical engineer- ing laboratory. Dr. H. G. Leach of New York city, a member of the visiting committee in the Department of German at Brown Univer- sity, has presented the department with $100 for the purchase of books and with a further gift of twenty volumes of the "Ar- kiv for Nordisk Filologi,"a scholarly jour- nal published at Lund, Sweden, and con- taining valuable material on language and literature in Swedish, Danish, German and English. Marshall N. Fulton, '20, has been ap- pointed a Rhodes scholar from Brown.

BRUNONIANS FAR AND NEAR Graduates and former students are earnestly requested to furnish information regarding themselves to the Brown Alumni Monthly for use in this department. We offer our thanks in advance for this cour- tesy. FACULTY Dr. Harlan H. York, head of the botani- cal department at Brown, has resigned to take charge of similar work at the Univer- sity of West Virginia, Morgantown, West Virginia. He is succeeded at Brown by Dr. Carroll W. Dodge, who has been an instructor of botany in that department. Dr. York is a graduate of DePauw Univer- sity in the class of 1903. He received his master's degree at Ohio State University in 1905. He has been in charge of the bo- tanical department at Brown since 1911. Professor York has been very active in his line of work, being a prominent member of several national societies, while he has been president of the Rhode Island Hor- ticulturists' Society and the Rhode Island Arborists' Association. He will have an opportunity for research work at the Uni- versity of West Virginia. Professor E. B. Delabarre has been elect- ed a member of the special committee of the Rhode Island Historical Society known as the committee on marking historical sites. President Faunce and Professor Everett were the delegates from Brown University to the annual meeting of the Association of Colleges in New England on November 14 and 15 at Middlebury College. ALUMNI 1863 Andrew Fuller Warren died at his home in Pensacola Fla., on Oct. 15, 1919. His son-in-law. Dr. J. H. Pierpont of Pensacola, vvrites the Alumni Monthly: "He was all that could be said of a Christian gentleman and a patriot in the strictest sense of the term, as well as a devoted husband and father. He remained in active control of his business, the Warren Fish Co., until within a few weeks of his fatal illness, and always took the greatest interest in na- tional politics, being a lifelong Republican." The death of Henry Traphagen, ex-'63, is reported. No date or further information is given. 1870 Arrangements are being made by former United States Consul Walter C. Hamm, '70, to bring to this city for burial the body of his wife, Mrs. Alice Phillips Hamm, who died at Newcastle-on-Tyne, England, Oct. 12, in her 71st year. Interment will be at Swan Point cemetery. Mrs. Hamm was a native of this city and daughter of the late Thomas and Ann Phillips. For 16 years she had lived in England, where her hus- band had been United States Consul, first at Hull and then at Newcastle-on-Tyne. Mr. Hamm recently resigned the consulate and had planned to return to this country with his wife to live when her sickess and death occurred. 1873 George Briggs, a member of the class of 1873, died at his home in Providence, Oct. 29, 1919. He was born in Providence, June 24, 1854, and was the son of Jeremiah Briggs and Desire Jane Gardiner. The late Charles Briggs, who died Oct. 1, 1919, was his elder brother, and partner in business. George Briggs entered Brown University in September, 1870, in what was the bach- elor of philosophy course, of three years. He remained only two years, and left col- lege in 1872 to go into the jewelry business in connection with the firm of E. A. Rob- inson, of Attleboro, Mass. In 1882 he be- came a member of his father's jewelry fii-m in Providence, specializing in rolled plate, under the name of Jeremiah Briggs & Sons.

At a meeting of the executive commit- tee of the Brown University Alumni Asso- ciation of Newpoi-t (R. I.), held Wednes- day, October 29, 1919, at 5 P. M., the fol- lowing minute was unanimously adopted: "In the death of William Paine Sheffield of the class of 1877, the Brown University Alumni Association of Newport has lost its president and one of its most loyal and devoted members and the University a most loyal and devoted son and Tinistee. Mr. Sheffield was one of the chief moving spirits in the formation of the Newport associa- tion. The first meeting of Brown alumni m June, 1886, to consider the fonnation of a Brown University Alumni Association for Newport County was held in his office. He was a member of the committee on or- ganization and probably was chiefly, if not wholly, responsible for the constitution adopted at the first reunion and dinner of the association, February 7, 1887. He was one of the most active of the alumni in re- viving the annual reunions and dinners af- ter a lapse of four years in the same, and was present at nearly eveiy reunion and always took a prominent part in the busi- ness meetings and participated several times in the after-dinner speaking. He was a member of the committee of the Newport association cooperating with the movement in 1899 to increase the endowment of the University and gave freely of his time, thought and activity to the work of the committee. He was president of the asso- ciation for the years 1892-'93, 1893-'94, and again for 1918-'19, 1919-'20. The mem- bers of the Newport Alumni Association through its executive committee wish by this minute to express their appreciation of Mr. Sheffield's deep interest in the asso- ciation and his hearty participation in all its activities, their deep sense of the loss of his genial and lively fellowship and their abiding regret that they shall see his face no more at their annual reunions, which were always the more enjoyable for his presence. They extend their heartfelt sympathy to his family. Alfred G. Langley, Secretary 1879 Rev. Gorham Easterbrook is now living at 8 Leonard ave., Cambridge, Mass. F. E.

In a brief address to his fellow Brown men last evening, Mr. Vose was en- thusiastic in his praise of Denver's progress in civic adornment and predicted a bril- liant future for her in artistic development. Nowhere, he said, had he ever met more appreciative audiences than had so far at- tended the exhibit at the libraiy, more than 3,000 persons having already viewed the pictures now on display, although the show- ing is not a week old. He gave unqualified indorsement to the plan to erect an art mu- seum on the civic centre, to balance the li- brary, declaring that its cultural advan- tages to the city would prove incalculable.

He was educated in the public schools of Pavd;ucket and received the degree of Ph. B. at Brown. He went overseas in February, 1918, with the 148th Aero Squadron. On reaching England he was detached from this squadron and sent to a camp of the Royal Flying Corps for special instruction as a fighting scout. He was assigned to active service with the 32d Aero Squadron of the Royal Air Force, being one of the few American flying offi- cers attached to British squadrons. On July 22, 1918, he made his first trip over the lines, escorting bombing planes, and from that time he was in the thick of the fighting in the vicinity of Cambrai, Fiemes and Douai, acting as protecting escort to the slower bombers, or engaged in combat with enemy aircraft, including Richtho- fenk's crack "circus." From one of these en- counters he returned with twenty-two bul- lets through his plane, and of another par- ticularly fierce fight he wrote: "I think I got a Hun in the scrap, but was too busy to see what happened to him." On Sept- ember 7 volunteers were asked for a special patrol and Lieutenant Bowen offered to go — it was not, as his flight-book shows, the first time he had chosen to do more than duty required. That evening he was posted as missing and later it was ascertained that he had been killed in the air. He rests where the hands of his English comrades laid him, near the little village of Pron- ville, west of Bourlon Wood and Cambrai, Above his grave, his squadron placed a cross, inscribed to his memory, and made from the broken propeller of his plane.
