XXIII PROVIDENCE, JULY. 1922 NO. 2 ON THE HILL BROWN'S FIRST CREW SINCE 1884 Brunonian Four that Beat the Narragansett Boat Club on the Seekonk, June 17, 1922 (From the Providence Journal) '"pHE question of changing the university charter has been brought to the front again by the unanimous vote of the Associated Alumni at their annual meeting on Tuesday evening, June 20th, appoint- ing a committee to confer with the Corporation on the subject. It is now seven years since the special committee appointed by the Corpo- ration to take the matter into con- sideration made its final report, and since that time there has been much quiet discussion of the question with- out any active agitation in favor of fne change which the great majority of the graduates of the university undoubtedly desire. It has been evi- dent for some time, however, that a revival of the question was inevitable, particularly as at the last attempt to nominate candidates for alumni trustees to fill three vacancies — two Baptist and one Congregational — much difficulty was found in deter- mining whether certain persons sug- gested were eligible under the char- ter. 31 32 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY TX 1910. after the issue had been -■■ discussed at some length, a poll was taken under the joint auspices of the Brown Alumni Monthly and the Advisory Board of the Alumni to determine whether in the opinion of the graduates of Brown all sec- tarian requirements should be elimi- nated from the charter. The result of the ballot was that 2059 alumni were recorded in favor of such elim- ination, with only 240 opposed to it. A remarkable feature of the poll was that the Baptists who voted were overwhelmingly on the side of the change. Since this poll was taken the trend of thought in our American colleges has certainly been away from rigid denominational require- ments. At Brown there has been a steady increase in the number of non-Baptist undergraduates, until at the present time the proportion is probably from 85 to 87 per cent. A similar change is of course going on in the ranks of the alumni also. For that matter, the non-Baptists have been in the great majority in both the undergraduate and gradu- ate bodies from the earliest days of the college. And still the charter of 1764 has been adhered to with its original distribution of denomina- tional power in the two branches of the corporation — the Baptist repre- sentation in the Board of Fellows being eight out of twelve and in the Board of Trustees twenty-two out of thirty-six. V\7"AS there ever, weatherwise, a more dolorous Commencement week than that of 1922? The rain seemed to have a special grievance against the Senior class. Not only at Brown but at every other college in this part of the country whose graduation exercises coincided with ours the floods descended. Baseball games were impossible. The Brown- Colgate contest scheduled for Wed- nesday had to be put off till 1923. The Class Day campus exercises and festivities on Monday were moved indoors. And yet the spirit of the week was fine. It seemed as if there were more class reunionists back than ever and the spirit was notice- ably enthusiastic. "A lot of men," said a veteran alumnus to the editor of the Alumni Monthly during the week, "are work- ing for Brown." That is plain to anyone familiar with the facts. There are hundreds of graduates and non-graduates who can be counted on for real service in behalf of Alma Mater, and there would be thousands if they could be brought into a little closer touch with the college. * * * COMEBODY complained the other day that "the alumni seem to want to run the college." Well, no; they don't want just that. They are willing to let the President, Corpora- tion and Faculty attend to most of the detail, but during the last twenty years or so everj/thing possi- ble has been done (except changing the charter) to enlist their active in- terest and support, and it would be strange if, having been not merely invited but pleaded with to come over into Macedonia and help, they had not taken the invitation and the pleading seriously. * * * /^NE of the most musical and phil- ^-^ osophical of Brown poets was honored at Commencement, when the class of 1882 unveiled a bronze tablet in memory of its deceased member Sam Walter Foss. The tablet has Foss's profile in bas relief and is ar artistic piece of work. Dr. Carnage headmaster of the Pawling School presented the tablet to the University! at the Sayles Hall exercises, in behalf BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 33 of the class. Previously for some weeks there had been an interesting Foss exhibition at the John Hay Li- Ijiary, arranged by Professor Koop- inan, the librarian. Foss died February 26, 1911, at the age of 52. It is gratifying to know that the royalties from his poems are now more remunerative than ever be- fore and furnish a sufficient income for his family. * * * T AST month we printed a list of -*— ' Freshmen at Brown whose fath- ers or other relatives are Brown men. There was a picture in which most of :hese Freshmen were shown — a fine sturdy lot of first-year undergrad- lates. Every Brown man who has a son n the student body at Brown must "eel a thrill of satisfaction that does lot attach to the one whose boy for my reason has gone somewhere else for his collegiate education. Be- :ween Brunonian son and father a lew sense of comradeship grows up. They have a new interest in common, m added group of subjects to talk ibout. It could not be otherwise. It is often said, when a Brown ■nan's son goes to another college, :hat the father wished him to come :o Brown but the son, having met, at lis preparatory school, boys who were going elsewhere, was eager to accompany them. Of course every nan must solve this problem for him- elf — or with the help of his boy. A.nd into every case various consider- ations are bound to enter. All we nean to say is that when a Brown nan has a son in Brown he gets a atisfaction from that fact that the )oy's attendance at any other institu- ion cannot produce. A FTER thirty-eight years, rowing has been revived at Brown. The revival is on a modest scale as yet, but that is as it should be. A four-oared crew actually rowed a race on Saturday afternoon, June 17, against an impromptu four from the Narragansett Boat Club, and won. It was a mile race, finishing off the boat house near Red bridge, and the Brown crew covered it in 8:39, the other boat, which was without a cox- swain, being left far behind. There was a stiff wind, the river was rough and the Narragansett crew was driven off the course. The college owes a debt of grati- tude to the Narragansett club for lending our crew a shell and provid-. ing a crew as opponents. The Brown crew rowed as follows. Henson, bow ; Grant, Imlay, Brown, stroke; Jones, coxswain. The club four were: Harry Yorke, bow; J. J. Bannigan, Johnstone, Al Shaw, stroke. We hope that rowing at Brown will be on a firmer basis next year after this encouraging beginning. And we expect to see a. Brown eight rowing at Cambridge, Derby or New London some day. A T first thought some Brown alumni might think it ill-advised to spend money at this time for a bronze statue of "Bruno" on the cam- pus. But the plan is one that appeals to sentiment and may, if judiciously carried out, be worth far more than a gift for some purely utilitarian pur- pose. We understand that the bear is to be a work of art, the award of the contract being subject to a competi- tion of sculptors. A considerable sum of money is already in hand and the Monthly believes that there will be no difficulty in raising the rest. WINNOWING THE FRESHMEN (From President Faunce's Baccalaureate Sermon) I p ROB ABLY 25 per cent, of the stu- dents now in American colleges would achieve greater success in liv- ing if they had never entered," Pres- ident Faunce declared in his bacca- laureate sermon on Sunday, June 18. "The colleges would be far happier and more effective if that 25 per cent, could be replaced by an equal number of students intellectually eager and morally desirable, who now stand outside the gates debarred by cir- cumstances from their hearts' de- sire." In his discussion of the prob- lem, Dr. Faunce said in part: "The flood of students now rising to the doors of our colleges compels our most ancient institutions of learning to adopt a selective process. When buildings are overcrowded and teachers overloaded and funds ex- hausted, simple justice to those al- ready in college demands that some shall stay out. When, however, we talk of a selective process, a cry is at once raised that we are undemo- cratic and that the true American doctrine is that every student who can pass certain entrance examina- tins shall have a chance to enter. But that is not an American doctrine and never was. "Always our historic colleges have insisted that character as well as scholarship is necessary for entrance. The whole certificate method of ad- mission is based on the idea that ex- aminations are not enough, and that the teacher's estimate of the entire school record is a safer basis of judg- ment. Cecil Rhodes in founding his Oxford Scholarships placed at the forefront of requisites such moral qualities as unselfishness, interest in one's fellows, fondness for sports and capacity for leadership. The idea that any shrewd boy that can by cramming 'get by' on written exami- nations must thereby be automati- cally admitted to college is anti- American. The college may and should demand physical cleanliness and freedom from disease. It may and should demand elementary truth- fulness and honor and loyalty to the 'society of scholars' that constitutes the college. To introduce any dis- crimination on grounds of politics or religion or race would be abhorrent to any truly American college. But if at our tables there are not plates enough for all, let us exclude the greedy and overbearing and incon- siderate and disloyal, whatever their antecedents may be; and let us wel- come those who are personally clean, morally promising, socially unselfish, and desirous to give as well as to take. The enforcements of such standards can harm no race, no party, no neighborhood, but can bring only a higher level of citizen- ship in every community where col- lege graduates live. "The many inventions which have been crowded into the last hundred years have chiefly aimed at promot- ing our physical convenience and comfort. Seldom do we stop to ask whether it is good for mankind to have more comfort and make less eff'ort. The bench on which your grandfather sat at school gave place to the chair with a supporting back. That was followed by the arm-chair and the lounge and the sofa pillows- padding the man against every shock. But is the man who lolls amid the sofa pillows always an advance on the man who sat on the wooden BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 35 bench? Is the uniformed chauffeur at the steering-wheel of the Hmous- ine an advance on the old stage driver grasping the four-horse reins in crooked fingers? Does the electric light enable us to see life more clearly, and to solve its problems more surely than did our fathers by their candle light? Or are we, like Frankenstein, constructing a me- chanism so powerful that we may become the slaves of our own crea- tion? There is a Chinese proverb which says There is no use of a thousand-mile horse unless you have a thousand-mile man to ride him/ To-day our railroads have outgrown their presidents, our governments have outgrown our kings and pre- miers, our banks have outgrown our bankers, and the one cry of the world is not for bread, but for leadership. We need not only 'men to match our mountains,' but we need everywhere personality to dominate machinery and souls great enough to overtop materials and construct our vast crude resources into a shining City of God." DRAMATICS ON THE CAMPUS By Ben W. Brown '19 'T'HE past season has been one of ^ advancement and achievement for the dramatic clubs at Brown. New scenery and lighting equipment have been purchased ; the proscenium in the Union has been replaced by a more substantial "frame" ; and new curtains have taken the place of the old and faded green drops which had graced the auditorium since the year one. With a new stage added at some time in the near future, the Brown Union will become an adequate lab- oratory theatre, but that is all. For the normal growth of dramatic work here at Brown larger and better quarters are necessary, and without such quarters our Sock and Buskin cannot hope to keep pace with the dramatic work which is being done , ;,in the universities about us. The program for the past year has been more extensive than ever before. In the early fall The Brink of Sileyice and The Other Voice were produced. These two plays were given several times about the city and met with moderate success. The great attempt of the fall was Phormio, translated from the Latin for the Sock and Buskin by Professor Greene. As a classic revival this play was a great success and many who condescended to attend (there were twenty undergraduates present) were surprised to find that two thous- and years had not changed the com- edy which made the Romans laugh. Special costumes were made for the performance by Miss Katherine H. Pease and Mrs. K. 0. Mason. The color spectacle was startlingly at- tractive. January saw the production of two original plays written by undergrad- uates. Blindness, an atmospheric tragedy of country life, by J. C. Reed and The Woman in the Room, a cam- pus farce, by Walter Daniels formed one of the most interesting programs of the year. Original work should be encouraged on the Brown campus and this was at least a beginning. Another innovation, which proved a failure, was the Freshman Plays. In The Zone and Where But in Amer- ica failed to arouse interest either in the Freshman class or on the campus. 36 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY In The Zone was a good piece of work, but Where But in America was not worth the short time that it took to watch it through. It was a com- edy without a laugh. The most ambitious attempt of the year was The Nihilists by Oscar Wilde, or rather it was by Wilde be- fore it was rew^ritten in rehearsals. The costumes and setting for this play were in every sense adequate; the acting was the best that has ever been done by the Sock and Buskin within my memory. It is a very dif- ficult task for a group of men to pre- sent a tragedy in which there is a tense love element and still have the result convincing, but this is just what was accomplished. In five per- formances before three distinct types of audience the play never failed to receive the approval which it de- served. The last production of the year was Three Live Ghosts, an amusing com- edy recently seen in New York. The play had previously been presented in Providence this season by the pop- ular Bonstelle Company. Audiences were unanimous in saying that the amateur performance did not suffer in comparison with the professionals. The play was given five times. During the season the work of cer- tain men has stood out. Milton Bates' Darton in The Brink of Silence rivaled his success as Garrick last season. Ted Jeffers has been consis- tently excellent in a number of thank- less parts. Ted Sweet's character- ization of the Czar in The Nihilists and Mrs. Gibbins in Three Live Ghosts was worthy of the profes- sional stage. One of the most dif- ficult tasks for the college actor is the impersonation of women. Ells- worth Gale managed this difficult problem in the most convincing fash- ion. His part was the lead in The Ni- hilists, which he played most effect- ively. The most desirable pai-ts throughout the season fell to Stanley Holt. It is sufficient to say that he was in each case worthy of them. The work in dramatics in colleges must go on. The drama and the the- atre have become altogether too fun- damental a part of our national life to be looked upon lightly. This Brown must recognize. The salva- tion of the American stage must come through the training that we can give in our colleges. To-day it is admitted that the drama is a great educational force, but it needs guid- ing. It is a part of the duty of any academic institution to train men for just such work. The Sock and Bus- kin is doing its best, but the organi- zation needs encouragement and aid to accomplish the best results. THREE NEW TRUSTEES ELECTED The three alumni trustees elected are, as announced on Commencement Day, Charles Robeit Adams '80 of Boston, Mass. ; James Monroe Pendleton '85 of Westerly, R. I, (to fill the two Baptist vacancies), and Fred Homer Williams "77 of Boston to fill the Congi-egational vacancy. The vote was as follows: Adams 973, Allyn L. Brown '05, 706. Pendleton 974, Rev. .J. C. Robbins '97, 687. Williams 1063, Clarence H. Lingham '97, 629. Total number of votes cast 1786. De- fective votes 57. Valid votes 1729. Neces- sary to make an election (30 per cent, of the alumni body) 1714. Thus only 15 more were cast than the minimum requirement. Let us vote in larger force next time. The defective votes lacked signatures or showed two candidates for the same va- cancy voted for. THE APPLETON TESTIMONIAL Dinner and Fund in Honor of the Senior Professor /^N Monday afternoon, June 19th, ^^ a large number of the friends of Professor John Howard Appleton '63 gathered at the Wannamoisett Club in East Providence to join in greeting him and offering him their best wishes. For some weeks a com- mittee, of which Professor Samuel T. Arnold of the Department of Chem- istry was chairman, had been busily at work preparing for this testimo- nial event. At six o'clock dinner was served to 130 members of the com- pany, some of those who attended the reception having been called away, previous to the dinner, by other en- gagements. Practically all of those in attendance were former students of Professor Appleton. After an excellent meal, served in the attractive dining room of the club, John B. F. Herreshoff '70 of New York, later referred to by Pro- fessor Appleton as the foremost in- dustrial chemist of America, called the company to order and made a few appropriate remarks. Mr. Her- reshoff introduced Edmund Wood '76 of New Bedford, a member of the University Board of Trustees, as toastmaster, and Mr. Wood, after a lively speech of his own, introduced President Faunce, who laid special stress on Professor Appleton's varied interests and accomplishments, his orderly mind, his precision of speech and his wide reading in biography and literature. Following President Faunce, Hen- ry R. Palmer '90 read a tribute in verse, and two well-known chemists, J. G. Melendy '01 and M. L. Crossley '09, told of the Professor's influence on their lives and work. Mr. Mel- endy was introduced by the toast- master as the man who knows more about sulphuric acid than anyone else in the United States. William H. Viall '84, treasurer of the testimonial committee, announced the committee's decision to embody the esteem and affection of Professor Appleton's friends in a permanent John Howard Appleton Lectureship Fund, the interest to be used to main- tain a series of one or more lectures on chemistry every year at the col- lege. No "drive" had been made, no pressure had been brought to bear on contributors. The fund was a free- will offering, Mr. Viall said, and up to date the total amount was $3339. Professor Appleton, w^hen called upon to speak, was received with great enthusiasm, the company rising and greeting him with a familiar col- lege song. The Professor spoke rem- iniscently, referring with feeling to three professors of chemistry at Brown under whom he had served — George I. Chase '30, Nathaniel P. Hill '56 and JohnPeirce '56. He charac- terized them sympathetically, bring- ing out vividly the personality of each. The latter part of the address was devoted to a review of the chem- ical progress of the last half century. His hearers were struck anew with his vigor of language, the exactness and frequent elegance of his diction and the orderly process of his thought. Professor Appleton entered college in 1859, graduated in 1863, became an assistant instructor in chemistry the same year, was made full pro- fessor of chemistry in 1868 and re- mained in that capacity until his re- tirement in 1914. His name appears to-day at the head of the faculty list in the university catalogue, immedi- ately succeeding that of President 37 38 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Faunce. Thus his connection with ther remarkable fact is all of his six Brown — sixty-three years — exceeds children — three sons and three in length that of any other person daughters — graduated from Brown, in the history of the college. A fur- A TRIBUTE IN VERSE For the Appleton Testimonial Exercises, Wannamoisett Club, East Provi- dence, R. I., June 19, 1922 By Henry R. Palmer Brunonia's bell within its slender tower Is clangorous with the insistent hour, As in the magic morns of long ago It cried its summons over ^ass and snow To us and to our comrades who alas Hear it no more beneath the snow and grass. Thrice fifty years its clamorous iron tongue Like the sharp tongue of age has lashed the young. Thrice fifty years its tyrant throat has cast Panic upon the laggard and the last. Down the soft staii-ways of the golden fall Has crashed the brazen cadence of its call; The lilac spring has spread its sounding realms Eastward and westward through the college elms. Year in, year out, obedient to its sway. Slow hosts of youth have made their sluggish way. From Slater stumbling in dark winter dawns, From Caswell crowding up the campus lawns. From Maxcy mumbling at their open text — The bright and bold, the recreant and perplexed. From Hope have spi-ung the scholar and his mate I^ate to his bed and to his lesson late: The scholar gay and easy in his mind. The other doubly leaving Hope behind. And still the bell beneath its gilded vane Commands us with its oldtime might and main, i^nd unfatigued as ever seems to say: ■'Hurry, hurry; time flies, time flies; seize the day!" We shall not lag who hear the bell to-night Fling out its summons through the sunset light; The season's charm is in its softened clamor; June's alchemy has virrought upon its hammer. And that calm process of the healing years Wherein superfluous tumult disappears. The iron tongue that rent the air of old Comes from the chemist's furnace yellow gold — A miracle of mortar and of fire, The swinging bell is tuned to our desire. And sounds, above the summer trees transmuted, As mellow as the lark's song softly fluted. I BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 39 We come intent on honoring him to whom The fleetf oot years have brought no word of doom ; Whose vigorous thought still puts the dull to rout And from whose eyes a lad's fresh heart leaps out. 'Tis all but three score yeais since first he stood, The youthful teacher of a youthful brood, A s young as they but somehow even so Bearing the stamp of dignity we know. 'Tis all but sixty years, and still we sit Happy beneath his wisdom and his wit; Happy when he from staiTed and scented pages tarings us the light and bloom of spacious ages, Takes from to-day his theme or, backward reaching, BoiTows a text from Shakespeare for his preaching; Glad if he strays to view some jagged summit, Harks to the murmurous sea and seeks to plumb it, Hunts the affrighted atom from its shelter, Or drives the untamed electron helter-skelter. With him as guide Grant's camping gTOunds we halt on; We study Man with him and Francis Galton; Gibbon and Balzac please his roaming fancy; He yields to Trollope's gentle necromancy. Fach day he treads some broad and crowded highway, Some beckoning lane, some fascinating byway, A new Thoreau, whose interest unravels / thousand thronging wonders on his travels. No small parochial issue wastes his hours. No pent-up chemistry contracts his powers. Although the whole blue universe may be Fairly proclaimed the field of chemistry. He was not built upon the one-track plan, He's touched by whatsoever touches man; He makes the human mind his chief concern, Still keen to teach and keener still to learn. Is there a spirit in us that sui-vives The tragic shipwi-eck of our little lives? Js there a mind, a soul, a shining light Beyond the sunset and the fall of night? If there's no death-downtreading spirit, see! There is no rational economy. The mind stores up its learning and its sense, A miser with its rich experience. A natural law forbids it to transmit A tithe of all its scholarship and wit. AVho then shall be its proud and happy heir? None but itself, forever, anywhere. And yet, I think, our old Brunonian legion "^Vill meet again in some ethereal region. And where the everlasting stars are scattered Fill up once more the ranks that Death has shattered. And then, who knows! when we are scarce awake, A ghostly bell upon our ears may break, Downpouring music from a snow-white tower 40 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Upon the clustering asphodels in flower .And on the elms that crown a heavenly height Arrayed in beryl and in chrysolite. And we perchance a campus stair will climb Outside these naiTow bounds of space and time, Beyond the borders of our earthly ken, To throng within a classroom once again — A classroom with a staid familiar look — And take our place with pencil and wdth book, Eager to answer "Present!" every soul, When our beloved Professor calls the roll. BRUNO IN BRONZE By Herbert B. Keen, 1907 A T the fifteenth reunion of 1907 in "^ June a Bronze Bruno for Brown was advocated by one member as a gift to the University, but the class voted instead to make their gift a scholarship. In talking "Bruno" over with a number of the other alumni, some of them members of the Corporation of the University, the idea of placing a bronze bear on the campus met with instant and favorable response. Those of the alumni who heard of the project expressed great interest in it and asked to be allowed to share in the movement to give a bronze bear to Alma Mater. As I was standing in line near the church on Commencement morning, Mr. Zechariah Chafee '80, while marching past, asked me if 1907 had adopted the bear for their class gift and when told that "Bruno" had been defeated he reached into his pocket, pulled ont some bills and thrust them into my hands, saying: "Start a pub- lic subscription among the alumni." This interested graduate then and there achieved the honor of becoming the first actual donor to the fund for this gift. From men around me in the line, who had heard his words, at once came voluntary pledges and contri- butions. All during Commencement Day, wherever the alumni gathered in groups, the subject of giving a bronze bear to the University was sure to come up and by night subscriptions and money totalling eight hundred dollars had been received. Among the men who approve the idea are Hon. Augustus 0. Bourn '55, Dr. Hermon C. Bumpus '84, Stephen 0. Metcalf '78, Theodore Francis Green '87, Henry D. Sharpe '94, Zech- ariah Chafee '80, Dr. Frederick L. Carnage '82, Henry R. Palmer '90, Walter C. Wyckoff '94, J. A. Gam- mons '98, Irving 0. Hunt '99, New- ton Hutchinson '05, Fred Schwinn '05, Alexander Graham '06, and Rob- ert B. Jones '07. Even more encouraging than money and pledges were expressions of approval such as : "That's a fine idea." "That's something we ought to have done long ago." "That will be the most popular gift that the graduates could make to Brown Uni- versity." The slogan that was uttered on the spur of the moment was "Put a Hair on the Bear" and the alumni promptly invested, BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 41 some subscribing to a single hair at a dollar per and others underwriting patches of hair up to $100, That slogan you will hear again in the fall when a committee will be formed to see the plan through. Later, when a design for this piece of sculpture has been agreed upon by a competent committee and an ap- proximate estimate secured, particu- lars will be printed in the Alumni Monthly. Such a gift will require some thousands of dollars in order to be executed in a form worthy of its set- ting and its donors. It is far more to be desired that all living graduates of Brown should join in giving sums of moderate size than that the amount necessary should be raised by fewer though larger contributions. In the meantime graduates who realize what a striking and interest- ing addition to the campus an artistic bronze bear will be are sending their pledges and contributions to the treasurer pro tem, Henry G, Clark '07, care of the Industrial Trust Com- pany, Providence, R, I.

Brown, Harvard '98, who for years was the Harvard advisory coach and strategist, has been engaged to assist Coach Robinson in developing next year's football team at Brown. For many years prominent institutions have offered Mr. Brown large inducements to take charge of their teams as head coach, but he has always refused, prefemng to help his Alma Mater. His agreement to come to Brown is greatly appreciated. Melville E. Webb, Jr., the well known Boston critic,, said of Coach Brown in 1916, when is was feared that he would take up coaching in another university: "Reggie Brown to-day is regarded as one of the greatest football strategists in the country. He has not been in the limelight, due to the nature of his work, but the im- portance of his position as strategist is known to close followers of the game, and they agi-ee that he is 40 to 50 per cent, responsible for the success of the so-called Haughton system." It was Brown who built up the efficient Hai-vard scouting system, time and time again turning expected defeat into victoiy. Brown has been connected with the foot- ball game for more than 30 years. He was captain of the championship Newton High School team in 1893 ,and then went to Harvard where he played after his Fresh- man year as halfback and fullback on the 'Varsity. At college he was a splendid back, a steady ground-gainer, and espec- ially proficient on the defence. He also excelled in punting and drop-kicking. For four years after gTaduation, he did much school and small college coaching, and from 1902 to 1904 coached the Hai-vard second teams. In 1904 his scrubs beat the 'Varsity four touchdowns to one, five days before the game with Yale. In 1905 he went back to start coaching the sci-ubs again, and in 1906 he had charge of the field work at Cambridge, besides fol- lowing the work of the 'Varsity opponents. At present Brown's prospects for the coming season are the best since 1916, when the eleven beat both Harvard and Yale. With men like Robinson, Brown and Staff to direct and train a squad that will con- tain every one of the men who outplayed the Crimson in the Stadium last November, it looks as if the Hill team were in for a banner season. 50 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY The Corlew Teachers' Agency RUFUS.

Fine Hats and Furs 101 We^minster Street, Providence DR. FAUNCE ON NEW CUSTOMS President Faunce contributes to a sym- posium in the Literary Digest on the pres- ent-day customs of young people. He says : The young people of to-day have not un- dergone any revolution in character, but have simply moved out into a new freedom of manners and garb. The same change is to be observed in literature, music and art. The new realism, or candor, or whatever one may call it, is appalling- to man elderly people, who have forgotten the extravagances and excesses of their own childhood. No drinking customs of the present day can be as bad as those of a century ago, when every college or church furnished rum at the dedication of a new building or the ordination of a new minister. The sanctuary in which I worship each Sunday was built in part by the proceeds of a lot- tery. Have the "praisers of the past" forgotten the immodesty of the hoop-skirt or the un- hygienic and immoral kissing games which once were practiced at every church "so- cial," or the college drinking songs which now have everywhere been replaced by songs of athletic prowess? Good manners 50 years ago largely con- sisted in skilful concealments — of feelings, motives and the entire self. The reaction from concealment to candor has its dan- gers, and must shock older minds; but minds that have never known the former inhibitions and repressions find the new frankness naive and straightfoi'ward. VOCATIONAL SECRETARY Lucille Rogers '22 has been appointed to a newly created position at the Women's College, to be known as vocational secre- tary. Miss Rogers was president of the Christian Association this year. Her father is general secretaiy of the Providence Young Men's Christian Association. While the work of the new secretaiy has not been exactly defined, it wall in- clude aid to undergraduates in obtaining positions which will enable them to earn part of their way through college. The secretaiy will also act as intermediary be- tween students and faculty.
