To make available tre- 
mendous power at the 
touch of a switch, to help 
lighten thousands of hu- 
man tasks, and to increase 
production — these are the 
services of electricity. 
General Electric Company 
makes apparatus by which 
electricity performs its 
useful work and stamps 
it with the monogram 
shown above. 



THESE are wonderful days for Dads. They 
have bought homes; they have bought cars; 
they have money saved; they have time to spend 
with their sons. 

Who has given them this success? They them- 
selves. 

In 1849 the average American factory workman 
produced each year $1000 of new goods; today the 
average American workman produces $7,000. 

The workman of 1869 had only about one primary 
horse-power at his command; the workman of today 
has more than three horse-power working for him. 
He supplies the skill; motors supply the muscle. 

The tired worker, worn out by his labors, is ceasing 
to be. In his place is a new man, commanding 
power, providing more easily for the needs of his 
family, and having time for the duty and joy of 
being a pal to his son.

Broun s 163d Year 

DRO^VN'S 163d academic year began 
on Wednesda}-, September 22d, with 
an enrollment considerably less in num- 
bers than that of a year ago. There is 
a Freshman loss of 41 as compared 
with last autumn, two main causes being 
cited — stricter academic entrance require- 
ments and higher tuition rates. The tu- 
ition rates were raised a year since, but the 
effect is believed to be more noticeable this 
jear because of a recession in various lines 
of business. 

At the opening ehapel service President 
Faunce declared that the University is de- 
termined to keep the student body at its 
present size if possible, unless or until 
there are increased material facilities and 
a larger teaching force. It is interesting 
to know that the Faculty this year consists 
of 145 members against 132 last year. As 
the student body is smaller than that of 
last fall, the larger Faculty is a dis- 
tin.ct gain in the direction of effective 
teaching. 

* * * 

Dormitory A cconunodatio7is 

V\7'ITH the opening of the present 
college year, Brown has abundant 
dormitory accommodations for all appli- 
cants. Littlefield Hall, which was put 
into use a year ago, is full, but Hegeman 
Hall, now occupied for the first time, con- 
tains many rooms which are as yet unten- 
anted. It is more than half full, however, 
and is expected to be completely occupied 
by another year. It has several three- 
room suites, among other accommodations, 
that are more attractive than anvthine 



else of the sort on the campus. 

Following are the present dormitories 
and the approximate number of students 
they can care for. (They are all entirely 
occupied except Hegeman) : 

Hope College 96, University Hall 
(three floors) 50, 36 Prospect street (for- 
merly the Dr. Ely house) 35, Maxcy (ij-^ 
floors) 36, Caswell 95, Brunonia 45, 
Littlefield 78, Hegeman 86. 

This makes a total of 521 students that 
can be accommodated on the campus, with 
an actual total now living there of about 
480. The University has no arrangement 
this year by which it leases rooms ih private 
houses, although many students live in such 
quarters at varying distances from the 
campus. In addition nearly all of the 19 
fraternities have their separate chapter 
houses in which a large aggregate body of 
students is quartered. 



Recent Improvements 

A T last the front and middle campuses, 
■^^ so long compelled to remain in a 
rough unploughed condition, have been 
levelled off and seeded, and a prosperous 
crop of grass is growing upon them. The 
same is true of Lincoln Field, which is 
no longer a parking ground for automo- 
biles or the scene of board-track activities. 
\Vhere the board track formerly lay there 
is now a promising lawn, and for the first 
time the possibilities of this portion of the 
campus in the way of beautification are 
apparent. Some day two new buildings, 
will be erected on the north side of Lincoln 
Field — one an addition to the Metcalf 
Chemical Laboratorv and another between 



61 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



that addition and the Colgate Hoyt Swim- 
ming Pool. This will give us a reasonably 
straight line for the Lincoln Quadrangle 
of the future. On the south, ]\Ir. Paul 
Cret of Philadelphia, our consulting archi- 
tect, has attempted to "tie" the existing 
buildings by the one-and-one-half-story 
wing of Hegeman Hall. This is physically 
united by an archway to Caswell Hall and 
fits in rather nicely with the Engineering 
Building and Maxcy Hall further west, if 
anything can be said to fit in with such 
dissimilar types of architecture. Person- 
ally we feel that Lincoln Quadrangle will 
never be satisfactory until the frank ''fac- 
tory construction" of the Engineermji, 
Buildings is eliminated or radically modi- 
fied. 



Other Chatiges 

"^J EW walks have been laid on the mid- 
dle campus and Lincoln Field. They 
are of asphalt-penetrated macadam and it 
is expected that similar walks will be laid 
on the front campus next year. During the 
last year or two some fifteen young elms 
have been planted, the definite decision be- 
ing arrived at to keep the elm as the dis- 
tinctive Brown shade tree. The ploughing 



up of the campus two or three years ago 
has improved conditions for the old trees, 
but it will always be a fight to keep city 
shade trees healthy under modern condi- 
tions, including the mephitic discharge of 
carbon monoxide gas from numberless au- 
tomobiles.

The \eiu Art Centre 

\ MODEST venture has been inaugu- 
rated this fall at Brown in the shape 
of an art centre, where Professor Will S. 
Taylor, the new head of the Department 
of Art, will teach the history and practice 
of art and at the same time continue his 
work on the mural paintings he is produc- 
ing for the American Museum of Natural 
History in New York. 

Professor Taylor on coming to Provi- 
dence desired a Colonial house to live in 
and indicated the old two-story dwelling 
at 125 George street, opposite St. Stephen's 
Church, as one that took his eye. Accord- 
ingly it was secured for him, and in the 
rear of the lots upon which it and the 
adjacent dwelling stand has been built a 
one-story studio and class room of ample 
dimensions. From this modest but promis- 
ing beginning we shall hope to see a line 
new interest in artistic concerns develop. 



The Letter Box 



WE HEARTILY AGREE 

Editor Broun Alumni Monthly: 

I feel that a publication, for the alumni. 
besides being a chronicle and a herald, 
serves to bring the spirit of the college and 
some vital ideas of the college into the 
hearts of her former students. Every 
number of the publication should bring 
something of idealism or something that 
challenges to thought. For that reason I 
like the idea of brief messages to the 
alumni from President Faunce, from Dean 



Randall or from brainy sons of Brown like 
Alexander Meiklejohn and others. And it 
is a fine thing to get excerpts from some of 
the stimulating things that are said on the 
campus, by special lectures or by our pro- 
fessors or by students. Being an alumnus 
should mean lifelong contact with an insti- 
tution that radiates the finest things of life. 

Yours cordially, 

Guy B. Colburn 
State College, Fresno, Calif.,

Waggener, who has gone to Cornell to 
study for his doctor's degree, and William 
E. Cheever will become assistant in civil 
engineering. 

Mr. Friedman is a graduate of the Col- 
lege of the City of New York. He took 
his Ph. D. at Cornell and was for three 
years a holder of the National Research 
Fellowship to continue investigations of 
parasitic birds in Texas, Argentina, South 
Africa and East Africa. ]\lr. Cheever, a 
graduate of Brown in the class of 1904,

there in igoy and came to Brown as in- 
structor in that year. While at Brown 
he has written a text book on physiology, 
has contributed papers to technical maga- 
zines and has participated in important sci- 
entific investigations. One of the most 
noteworthy of these was carried on by him 
in 1923 and 1924 for the State of Con- 
necticut, the subject being the causes of the 



decline of the shad industry of the Con- 
necticut river. Professor Mitchell has also 
served as director of the biological labora- 
tory at Woods Hole. He spent the past 
summer at Woods Hole in a private lab- 
oratory doing research work on the subject 
of insulin, which at the present time is se- 
riously occupying a number of scientists in 
this country and Canada. 



The New Athletic System 



By Joe Nutter '24 



"DROWN UNIVERSITY has a new 
-^ athletic system. An Athletic Council 
consisting of nine representatives from the 
Corporation, Faculty and alumni and the 
president of the University or his repre- 
sentative and the University treasurer has 
been organized and has already taken over 
the work of the athletic organization on 
the Hill. Announcement of the organiza- 
tion was recently made public by Norman 
S. Taber, Brown 191 3, chairman of the 
council. 

The council was organized some months 
ago, and has held two meetings, one for 
assembling and organizing the council and 
one for the planning of the football season. 
Dr. Frederick W. Marvel, director of in- 
tercollegiate athletics and Professor of 
Physical Education, has been assigned to 
continue as the director of the Physical 
Education Department, which will hence- 
forth carry both the Departments of In- 
tercollegiate Athletics and of Physical Ed- 
ucation. 

A new organization of the Brown ath- 
letic system was made necessary by the 
increased equipment, the ntw plant, and 
the need for representation of all the gov- 
erning branches of the college, and recom- 
mendations were made for appointing a 
committee from the Corporation to make 
a study of the situation and the solution of 
the problems involved. The committee 
reported the need for a reorganization 



along the lines that have been followed. 

The present council consists of Dr. A. 
D. Mead, vice president of the UniversitVs 
as the representative of Dr. W. H. P. 
Faunce, president of the LTniversity; 
Frank W. Matteson, treasurer of the L'ni- 
versity; Charles P. Sisson, Norman S. 
Taber and Paul C. DeWolf as members 
of the University Corporation ; James P. 
Adams, K. O. Mason, P. H. Mitchell and 
L. T. Bohl, Faculty representatives. The 
Corporation members will serve three 
years each on the council, the Faculty mem- 
bers four years each, and the alumni rep- 
resentatives two years each ; the member^ 
of each group being selected in successive 
years to provide for the change of only one 
member of each group in any one year. 

The policy of athletics for every man, 
which has been the goal of the Brown au- 
thorities for some years, will be rigidly 
followed, and it is expected that with the 
increased equipment this goal will be 
reached in a very few years. 'Varsity ath- 
letics will be held open as the advanced 
branch of athletics and will be open to all 
men who can make those teams, with the 
Second and Freshmen teams following the 
same general outline of work as the 'Var- 
sity. The Intramural Department will be 
reorganized, and more emphasis placed on 
class, dormitory and fraternity teams, sa 
that through some medium of the complete 
network that will extend to every branch 



64 



BROWN ALUMNI xMONTHLY 



of sport, every man in college will be .i 
participant. New sports will be added to 
the list in the several branches of athletics 
as the increased facilities and equipment 
justify, but the present slogan is one of ex- 
pansion not so much in intercollegiate ath- 
letics as in the intramural organization. 
The work has been greatly increased in re- 
cent years, and last year alone practically 
two-thirds of all the undergraduates were 
in athletics working under the limited fa- 
cilities that exist to-day. 

The council takes over all of the work 
of the former Athletic Association and the 
Accessory Committee and much of the 
work of the Faculty Committee on Student 
Activities, and combines the work of these 
three committees under one central com- 
mittee. While the council as organized 



makes no allowance for undergraduate rep- 
resentation, that is being provided in ad- 
ditional provisions being considered at the 
present time by the council. The method 
of representation and the responsibilities of 
the undergraduates will be announced 
later. 

K. O. Mason of the Faculty has been 
elected secretary of the council and Dr. 
Marvel will be treasurer of the department. 
All surplus funds will be turned over to 
the University investment committee to be 
held apart for the use of the Athletic 
Council, while the current funds will all 
be handled by Dr. ]\Iarvel. 

The organization of the council is sim- 
ilar to that in existence in some of the mid- 
western universities. 



A New Idea In Alumni Affairs 



P? IGHTY college and university alumni 
"^^ associations of America have co-op- 
erated to establish intercollegiate alumni 
hotels in some forty outstanding centres of 
America. At these hotels will be found 
everything planned for the convenience and 
comfort of the college man. Here the 
alumnus of each of these colleges will find 
on file his own alumni magazine and a list 
of his own college alumni living in the im- 
mediate locality served by the hotel. He 
will find the alumni atmosphere carried 
throughout. This service will be unusu- 
ally pleasing, and undoubtedly local alumni 
spirit will be greatly forwarded by this 
movement. 

In California, where the plan has been 
in operation for three years, it has been 
found to be eminently successful. The 
intercollegiate alumni hotel idea came into 
being from a very definite need. The 
growth of travel by automobile combined 
with the gigantic growth in numbers of 
university and college men has brought to 
light the necessity for some place to which 



the visiting alumnus may go when in a 
strange city to find the names and ad- 
dresses of his fellow alumni living in the 
community. It was formerly the policy 
of the University of California Alumni 
Association, for instance, to have the pres- 
ident or secretary of the local alumni club 
keep on file these names and addresses. 
Often, however, when the list was most 
desired the local president or secretary 
could not be found, so by keeping an ac- 
curate list on file at a prominent hotel this 
list became available at all hours of the 
day and night, and consequently it has re- 
sulted that a new means has been found 
whereby alumni spirit can be engendered 
and encouraged in centres distant from the 
immediate influence of the University. 

In no way does the establishment of an 
alumni hotel headquarters in the local 
centres interfere with the local university 
club. The university club is exclusive in 
its membership; the Intercollegiate Alumni 
Hotel is non-exclusive. It forms head- 
quarters for the transient, the man who is 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



in and out of town, and for the man who 
is in town for onh" a few hours. 

Full and complete data will be given 
concerning this nation-wide movement in 
a four-page announcement that will appear 
in each of the participating alumni maga 
zines next month. 

A list of Intercollegiate Alumni Hotels 
that have been designated follows. Many 
more are giving this matter earnest consid- 
eration. The full details will be given 
next month. Meanwhile, if they really 
want to make this new movement success- 
ful in their district alumni centres, all 
alumni in these local and distant centres 
who read this notice should purpose to 
unite with other alumni in the formation 
of a representative committee for their city. 
With the backing and prestige of local en- 
terprise a new instrument for awakening 
alumni spirit will be found and will result 
in the forwarding of a finer, healthier, and 
a more abundant interest among college 
men. 

Many eminent university leaders have 
followed the growth of the hotel head- 
quarters movement in the Far West. 
President Ray Lyman Wilbur of Stanford 
University says: "We have found by ex- 
perience that by having an outstanding ho- 
tel in a local community act as a deposi- 
tory for names and addresses of local 
alumni and as general headquarters for our 
association activities, the morale of our 
alumni association has been greatly 
strengthened." Again Robert G. Sproul, 
Vice President in charge of Public Rela- 
tions at the University of California, 
speaks for his University as follows: "Our 
alumni association in California has grown 
from four thousand to about fifteen 
thousand members in three years. We 
feel that the address lists of local alumni 
maintained at local hotel centres have 
aided much in strengthening acquaintance- 
ship and forwarding a high type of univer- 
sity spirit among our alumni.',' And as for 



the hotels, Halsey E. Manwaring, man- 
ager of the famous Palace Hotel at San 
Francisco, says: "For three years we have 
acted as local headquarters for University 
of California and Stanford University 
Alumni Associations. From our experi- 
ence we believe that a nation-wide estab- 
lishment of Intercollegiate Alumni Hotels 
will prove an excellent move and one in 
which the hotel industry may well be 
proud of playing a part." 

For over a jear a large committee rep- 
resenting eighty college and university 
alumni associations has been working to 
make this national movement possible. 
On this committee are the following: 
Marion E. Graves of Smith College; E. 
N. Sullivan of Pennsylvania State College; 
W. R. Okeson of Lehigh University; E. 
F. Hodgins of the Massachusetts Institute 
of Technology; R. W. Sailor of Cornell 
University; J. O. Baxendale of the Uni- 
versity of Vermont; Levering Tyson of 
Columbia University; Robert Sibley of the 
University of California; J. L. Morrill of 
Ohio State L^niversity; W. B. Shaw of 
the University of Michigan; Daniel L. 
Grant of the L niversity of North Caro- 
lina; R. W. Harwood of Harvard L' niver- 
sity; John D. McKee of Wooster College; 
Helen F. McMillon of Wellesley College, 
and Paul G. Tomlinson of Princeton Uni- 
versity. The American continent has been 
travelled back and forth by its representa- 
tives many times in order to have coordi- 
nated action in the establishment of inter- 
collegiate alumni headquarters. Practically 
every prominent centre of America has 
been visited by one or more of these repre- 
sentatives. 

Here now is established a nation-wide 
service available to the alumni of these 
eighty universities and colleges and others 
that may join them. It now awaits only 
the full and complete coordinated efltort of 
the local alumni to make this service one 
of the finest and most helpful instruments

for good in the upbuilding and mainte- 
nance of alumni interest in local and dis- 
tant centres of America.

Brown and Mt. Hermon 



By Jeremiah Holmes '02 



V/IT^HEN nearly a thousand enthusiastic 
alumni of Mt. Hermon School as- 
sembled not long ago for the school's for- 
ty-fifth anniversary and heard that the 
Dwight L. Moody Living Endowment — 
namely themselves and other "Loyal Sons 
of Hermon" — had gone over the top with 
$30,000 paid in during the year, they de- 
cided to pay a tribute to the man who has 
been mainly responsible for the remarka- 
ble growth of this Endowment and the de- 
velopment of the Mt. Hermon Alumni 
Association into one of the best in the 
school and college world. 

This man is no less than our own Lori- 
mer Drury of the class of 1902; and he 
and his family now ride about in a fine 
Dodge sedan, the gift of his appreciative 
fellow alumni. It should be added that 
Drury is the son of the Rev. Lucian Drury 
of the class of 1866. 

When Drury came to Brown with 
Henry Natsch Furnald, Morris Ailing and 
the writer in 1898, Mt. Hermon School 
was little known, and its Alumni Associa- 
tion was small and struggling. Now the 



school stands as one of the strong prepara- 
tory schools in the country, with an 
alumni body of the same order. Drury 
and his classmates began boosting the 




L. L. Drury 1902 and the new motor car 
given him by Mt. Hermon alumni. 

Alumni Association while they were at 
Brown. Drury became secretary — the po- 
sition he still holds — and the writer was 
president for several years. 

Under this leadership the constitution 
was changed so that all former students, as 



67 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



well as the graduates, could become mem- 
bers. The Living Endowment was also 
started, together with other basic factors 
making for a strong, unified alumni body. 
Drurj^, who went back to Mt. Hermon to 
teach and in a few years to take charge of 
the history department, . gave an increasing 
part of his time to the Alumni Association 
until to-day it absorbs him almost com- 
pletely. 

He and his staff keep track of about 
12,000 members, publish the Alumni 
Quarterly, get in the $30,000 yearly in- 
come from about two thousand men who 



capitalize at 5 per cent, some $600,000 of 
living endowment, supervise the activities 
of 45 class organizations, of about 25 city 
clubs and college clubs, arrange eight class 
reunions a year and a general school anni- 
versary every five years, and do other odd 
jobs. Drury is rounding out nearly 25 
years at it, and the writer is confident that 
the Brown Alumni Monthly, speaking for 
Brown men, will add its congratulation 
on work well done — work that is a credit 
not only to Mt. Hermon but also to 
Drury's college Alma Mater. 



Sock and Buskin Plans 



By E. T. Throopj Jr. 



C OCK AND BUSKIN formally closed 
its 1925-26 season with a banquet at 
Brennan's Campus Shoppe and a theatre 
party on the evening of the 28th of May. 
Preceding the banquet, the society held its 
annual meeting, at which officers were 
elected and the programme announced for 
the coming season. 

The society selected as officers for 1926- 
27 : Jeremy F. Bagster-Collins, President ; 
Franklin D. Elmer, Vice President; Frank 
K. Singiser, Secretary ; L. O. Wolcott, 
Senior member of the Executive Board ; L. 
E. Chase, Junior member. In view of in- 
valuable service, the following re-appoint- 
ments were made : Professor Ben W. 
Brown, Producing Director; Professor

Brown Football In New Hands 



UNDER the inspiring leadership of 
Head Coach D. O. McLaughry, the 
Brown University football squad, number- 
ing a few less than 40 men, has been rigor- 
ously practising at Quonset Point, near 
Providence. The squad started work on 
September 7. the day after Labor Day, and 
was put at once to the study of fundamen- 
tals. Although practice was secret from 
the first, it is known that the physical ex- 
ertions required of the aspirants for a place 
on the team exceeded in strenuousness any- 
thing demanded of a Brown squad in manv 
years. Coach McLaughry believes in hard 
work and plenty of it. 

The emphasis laid on laborious practice 
has been accompanied by an equal empha- 
sis on discipline. There is no question of 
who is master in this fall's campaign. His 
name is McLaughry, but at the same time 
he has a winsome way with him which 
ought to go far in developing a winning 
way on the part of the team. 

This survey of the preliminary training 
is being written on September 17, too early 
a date for definite prophecy. The first 
game is still eight days aw^ay and the squad 
is having its first real scrimmage of the 
season to-day. Quonset will be left behind 
at the end of the week, and Andrews 
Field, beginning on Monday, September 20, 
will be the scene of active preparation for 
the initial contest with Rhode Island State 
College at Brown Field. 

As in previous j^ears, the principal lack 
lies plainly in an inadequate force of reserve 
players. It is evident that Coach Mc- 
Laughry's first eleven will be much bet- 
ter than any second eleven that can be 
mustered. What this means is that there 
will alwa3's be the danger in our big games, 
as in 3'ears gone by, that after Brown has 
held the enemy to a close score or retained 
the lead in the first part of the contest, the 
other side will put in fresh players of a 
calibre superior to anything we can ofifer 



from our reserve lists. It is obvious that 
in the near future this serious problem 
should be attacked with new vigor by those 
in charge of our football destinies. 

In spite of the hard work required of the 
squad by McLaughry, he has succeeded in 
obtaining a fine spirit of loyalty from the 
men, which we sincerely hope will continue 
through the season. He has been ably as- 
sisted by his staff of coaches, including ex- 
Captain "Ed" McMillan of Princeton, the 
All-American Tiger centre of last season; 
"Spike" Staff of Brown, "Bill" Ormsby, 
also of Brown, and Professor Snell of the 
Brown faculty, who will take over the 
scouting work performed so well in past 
years by "Reggie" Brown, originally of 
Harvard and now associated with "Ed" 
Robinson, ex-Brown coach, at Boston Uni- 
versity. McLaughry has also had the as- 
sistance at Quonset of two of his recent 
players at Amherst, who have graciously 
imparted to the Brown squad to the best 
of their very considerable ability the Mc- 
Laughry system as exemplified at our sis- 
ter college in Massachusetts. In the name 
of all loyal Brown men, we thank them.

THE LEADING CANDIDATES 

By Louis B. Pahner ' 2S 

With the ends of the line ably taken care 
of by Captain Hal Broda '27 and Thurs- 
ton Towle '28, and the tackle positions 
capably filled by Orland Smith '27 and 
Paul Hodge '28, all veterans from last 
year, the chief problem facing the coaches 
is that of strengthening the centre of the 
line. The loss of Hal and Dan Morey is 
keenly felt, as they were counted upon as 
regular guard and tackle respectively, 
leaving Provonchee '27 as the only candi- 
date for guard with any experience. "Bud" 
has weight, but he is inclined to be a trifle 
slow, and as McLaughry wants speed it 
is not at all unlikely that there A\'ill be two 
new men playing the guard positions. 
McLaughry has been trying Hodge at 
tackle on the defense and Provonchee at 
his old post at guard, with Hodge taking 
the guard position on the offense and Pro- 
vonchee the tackle ; but it is impossible to 
tell whether ^McLaughry will deem this 
arrangement satisfactory. If Johnny 
Getz "28 can keep his knee in place he 
should be able to be the regular centre, al- 
though he is being pressed by Haines '28 
and Holden '27, both members of last 
year's aggregation. 

^Vhen Jack Keefer and Charlie Dixon 
graduated last year every one thought that 
Brown would be without a good backfield 
this fall, but from all indications this year's 
quartet will be fully as good as its pred- 



ecessor, although perhaps there wnll be less 
spectacular broken-field running. Mc- 
Laughry has been using Curly Edes '28 at 
quarter, at Quonset, and it is very probable 
that the opening game will find him there, 
as Dave Mishel '27, regular quarterback 
last year, has been shifted to halfback, 
where he is paired oft with Red Randall 
'28, former Andover star, and substitute 
quarter last year. Red got off to a poor 
start last 3'ear, but came along finely at the 
end of the season, and this year should 
prove a spectacular performer. Although 
Eddie Lawrence '28 will in all probability 
start the games as fullback, he will be re- 
lieved eventually by Walter Trefethen, 
195-pound fullback, and star of the 1929 
team last fall. 

\Ve have mentioned only the most prom- 
inent candidates, but there are several sub- 
stitutes and members of last year's Fresh 
man team who are bound to make the vet- 
erans step to hold their positions. Among 
the more promising of these are "Dolly" 
Searle '29, Steve Crilly '29 and Sam Lar- 
kin '29, halfbacks; Ned Kevorkian '29, 
205-pound guard, and the only man on the 
"29 team not to be injured during the en- 
tire season; Bill Considine '28. guard; Dick 
Gurney '28, tackle ; Louis Farber, tackle 
and captain of the '29 team, and Howard 
Husker '27, centre. 



The Squad on Sept. 22 

On Sept. 20 the squad began practice 
at Andrews Field. By Sept. 22, the open- 
ing day at the University, its members had 
been swollen to over 50. The principal as- 
pirants for positions on the team were, ac 
that date, as follows: 

Ends — Broda, Towle, Searle, Heller, 
Crull, Stewart. Hall. 

Tackles — Smith, Hodge, Provonchee, 
Miller, Getz. 

Guards — Kevorkian, Farber, Harry 
Cornsweet, Dodge, Gurney, Romer. 

Centres — Consodine, Haines, Holden, 
Husker.

Freshman Aspirants 

Coach Staff took charge on Sept. 20 of 
a squad of 28 Freshmen. Among them 
were C. T. (Reb) Russell, all scholastic 
quarterback from Lynn Classical for two 
years. Russell is a baseball and track star 
as well, and made a great impression at 
the Brown meet last Memorial Day. Sev- 
eral of the Freshmen appear first class 'Var- 
sity material. Another of the candidates 
is W. H. McCabe, whose work at tackle 
at Moses Brown marked him as a football 
player with possibilities, while one four 
letter man put in an appearance in George 
L. Burdick from Pawling School.

Football Tickets 

The Harvard and Colgate football 
games with Brown are the only contests 
that will be handled by the application 
ticket system this year, while the Colgate 
game is the only home game where re- 
served seats will be in order, the 
Brown Athletic Council announces. 
Season tickets have been issued similar 
to those in use last year, admitting to all 
home games and to the Freshman contests 
to be played in Providence. These tickets 
admit the holder to the same seat for each 
game. Tickets for the Dartmouth game, 
which is to be played in Hanover, will be 
sold in Providence by the Athletic Office 
and Wright and Ditson. All seats are re- 
served at the Dartmouth, Harvard and 
Colgate games. Following the custom of 
the past several years, applicants will be 
limited to six tickets, including season and 
blanket taxes, and those desiring one or 
two tickets will be accommodated ahead of 
those desiring three or four or five or six. 

The Dartmouth game will be $3.00 for 
each seat; Harvard, Colgate and Yale, 
$2.00 each; Lehigh, $1.50; and New 
Hampshire, Bates, Colby and Rhode Island 
State will be $1.00 each. The closing dates 
for the filling of applications will be : Har- 
vard, November i at 5 P. M., and Col- 
gate, November 11 at 5 P. M. 

Huddle Systetn Adopted 

Only one eleven in all the history ot 
football in the Eastern zone has ever been 
able to use the huddle system and survive 
the storm of adverse criticism, says the 
Providence Journal sports editor under 
date of Sept. 10. Coach Roper of Prince- 
ton, one of the greatest in the profession, 



71 



BROWN ALUMNi MONTHLY 



has put over the huddle and has converted 
followers of the Tigers to this method ot 
reeling off plays. The Jungleers vrheeled 
into the circle, snapped out into positions 
and in a trice were on their way in the 
campaign last season. Other teams have 
tried to function with the system and have 
been forced to abandon it. 

Princeton has perfected the use of the 
huddle play to the point where the team can 
run off more plays each quarter than by the 
use of regular formations with the quarter- 
back barking signals. 

In 1923 Brown introduced Andrews 
Field crowds to the system, and ran into 
a flood of criticism in some quarters. With 
the opening of the 1924 season Coach Rob- 
inson abandoned the use of the huddle and 
most of the game's patrons applauded the 
action. 

Viewed from the standpoint of the spec- 
tator, the huddle is not popular. In spite 
of the fact that plays can be run off faster 
when the system is working properly, the 
fans cannot get rid of the impression that 
a lot of valuable time is being wasted. The 
reaction is therefore unfavorable. 

Now comes the announcement that 
Coach McLaughry will use the system at 
Brown this season. Perhaps the new men- 
tor will be able to put it across with the 
same success that has attended the efforts 
of Roper. The advantages that come with 
the huddle are elimination of any possible 
chance that the signals will be caught by 
the opposing team and also the jump which 
the eleven gets by fast shifts before the de- 
fence can move men to meet the new align- 
ment. 

Brown men and all supporters of the 
team will welcome anything that Coach 
McLaughry and his able corps attempt. If 
he believes in the huddle let's have another 
fling at it. When all is said and done 
there is no football man, active or inactive, 
this side of the Mississippi keener to send 
the Bruins over the top than this same Mc- 
Laughry,

Broun 14, R. I. State 

With the thermometer at Brown Field 
on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 25, close to 
90 degrees in the shade, effective work by 
the heavy Brown line was difficult, while 
the lighter Kingstonians showed up unus- 
ually well. One Brown player lost eleven 
pounds during the game. One of the stars 
of the home team was Captain Paul Edes 
of the baseball team, who showed up well 
at quarterback. Farber, Trefethen, the 
two Cornsweets and Crilly of last year's 
Freshman team gave a promising exhibi- 
ton, and Red Randall was much in evi- 
dence. The Brown lineup consisted of 
Broda 1 e, Provonchee 1 t. Smith 1 g, Getz 
c, Farber r g, Hodge r t, Towle r e, 
Mishel qb, Randall 1 hb, Eisenberg r hb, 
A. Cornsweet f b. Substitutions : Searle 
for Broda, Edes for Mishel, Miller for 
Provonchee, Crilly for Randall, Jones for 
Eisenberg, Trefethen for A. Cornsweet, 
Heller for Towle, Gurney for Hodge, Ke- 
vorkian for Farber, Holden for Getz, H. 
Cornsweet for Smith, Haines for Getz, 
Crull for Broda. Touchdowns: A. Corn- 
sweet, Jones. Points after touchdowns: 
Randall, Eisenberg. Time, four 11 -minute 
periods. 

Brown J5, Colby 

Brown put a good deal of ginger into 
her game against Colby on Oct. 2 at 
Brown Field, running up 21 points in the; 
first quarter, 7 in the second and 7 in the 
fourth. The total score of 35 points was 
two more than the figures run up by 
Brown against Colby a year ago. 



A REDUCED REGISTRATION 

As we go to press the total number of 
undergraduate men at Brown is 1237, 
divided as follows : Seniors, 263 ; Juniors, 
310; Sophomores, 317; Freshmen, 347. 
Last year there were 388 Freshmen. The 
total registration at the Women's College 
is about 500. When the grand total for 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



the University is figured (including gradu- 
ate students), it should exceed 1900. 

THE BROWN JUG 

The Brown Jug is launching upon its 
seventh season this fall. Emerging from 
the wreckage of the Brunonian, which dis- 
appeared from the campus in 1919, the 
Jug has grown steadily for the past six- 
years, until now it occupies a predominant 
position among the college comic publica- 
tions of the country. 

When Harry Samson '21 and his 16 
Jugglers uncorked the Brown Jug upon an 
unsuspecting campus, they started a ven- 
ture that within a space of three years has 
come to be ranked with the leading humor- 
ous magazines of the American colleges. 

Last year the Brown Jug boasted of 
second position among the collegiate 
comics on the basis of representation in 
College Humor. The circulation of the 
publication has been increased to 3500 
copies an issue. The size of the magazine 



has grown from 26 pages to 50 and 60 
pages in the past six years. 

This year the Jugglers are planning a 
campaign that will keep Brown's comic 
publication up to its former standard. 
Guiding the destiny of the Jug for 1926-27 
are William Gunn '27, Editor, and Ed- 
ward Goldberger '27, Business Manager. 
Robert Trowbridge '27 heads the Art 
Stafi[, while Wentworth Mann '27 is the 
Literary Editor. Harold Johnson '28 has 
been chosen Advertising Manager and 
Henry Otte, Jr., '28, Circulation Manager. 

The first issue of the Jug, the "Big 
Game Number," is to make its appearance 
on the Brown campus on October 22nd, 
the day preceding the Yale game. Several 
novel features are being planned for the 
opening number, with the Freshmen and 
football the main targets and topics of the 
Jugglers. 

The Jug is making a special appeal to 
the alumni this year, and hopes to increase 
the number of its friends among Brown 
men who knew only of the Brunonian. 



Brunonians Far and Near 



Alumni 

1862 

With the passing of Darius Lee Goff, 
who died in Pawtucket, R. L, on July 22, 
1926, another name on the roll of New 
England's roll of distinguished industrial 
pioneers is starred. For nearly half a cen- 
tury Mr. Goff was a leading figure in in- 
dustry and finance, a vigorous and success- 
ful son of a vigorous and active father. 
He was born in Rehoboth, Mass., March 
20, 1840, the son of Darius and Harriet 
Lee Goff. He came to college from the 
Pawtucket High School and though he 
did not take his degree with his class he 
received his A. M. by special vote in 1890. 
At 23 he became a partner in the Ameri- 
can Worsted Co. with his father and with 
W. F. and F. C. Sayles. Two years later, 



when the Sayles interests separated, the 
Goffs established the firm of D. Gofi & 
Son;,, began the manufacture of braids; 
and from then until a few years ago the 
name and the product were familiar 
throughout the country and in many parts 
of the world. Mr. Goff found time in his 
young days to agitate electric lighting for 
Pawtucket, and was largely responsible 
for the formation of the Pawtucket Elec- 
tric Co., of which he was president for 
many years. He was likewise head of D. 
Gofi S: Sons until he resigned in 1921, 
president of the Bridge Mill Power Co., 
Royal Weaving Co., of the Intercolonial 
Copper Co., and of the Puritan Life In- 
surance Co., and a director of numerous 
textile companies and of the Pawtucket 
branch of the Industrial Trust Co. Any 
worthy public enterprise had his support, 
moral and financial, and the city of Paw-

tucket owed much to his spirit and aid. 
He was twice married. His first wife, 
who was Miss Annie E. Pitcher, died in 
1869. His second marriage took place 
Nov. 20, 1883, his bride being Miss Annie 
Luther, who died Feb. 3, 1890. Two chil- 
dren by this marriage, Darius Goff '11 and 
Mrs. Harriet L. Goff Jackson survive him, 
as well as his brother, Lyman B. Goff '62. 

1881 
Former Secretary of State Charles E. 
Hughes and Mrs. Hughes returned to New 
York last month after spending the sum- 
mer in France, Switzerland and Italy.

Providence on September 21, aged 70 years. 
A full biography will appear in our No- 
vember issue. 

1890 

Colonel George H. Webb died at his 
home after a long illness on September 21, 
aged 59 years. A complete account of his 
life will be printed next month. 
1891 

Frank E. Winsor, chief engineer of the 
Providence Water Supply Board and di- 
rector of operations which has resulted in 
the completion of a $20,000,000 water sup- 
ply plant for Providence, was named last 
month as chief engineer of the Metropoli- 
tan Water Supply Commission (Massa- 
chusetts). He will take charge of a wa- 
ter project in the Bay State that will mean 
an outlay of some $75,000,000 before it is 
finished. 

"Mr. Winsor has labored among us for 
eleven years, quietly, efficiently, happily," 
said the Evening Bulletin of Providence 
in an editorial. "He came here with no 
small reputation as an engineer and a man. 
He leaves with that reputation further 
enhanced, as a result of his successful di- 
rection of the largest and most expensive 
single piece of engineering work ever un- 
dertaken in Rhode Island, a task that has 
been carried through with no hint of 
waste or breath of scandal. Providence 
will be sorry to see him go, but glad that 
his abilities have been so strikingly recog- 
nized in the neighboring State." 



1892 

Dr. H. G. Partridge was elected Pres- 
ident of the Rhode Island Medical Society 
at the annual meeting held last June. 

Arthur Buffum Brownell died in Port- 
land, Me., on Aug. 22, 1926. He had 
been ill for the last five months. He was 
born in Providence, Sept. 16, 1868, the son 
of Dexter L. and Elizabeth (Carpenter) 
Brownell. He prepared for college at the 
L^niversity Grammar School and remained 
at Brown as a member of the class for 
three years. He was identified for a time 
with the Herreshoff Mfg. Co., Bristol, R. 
I., as a purchasing agent and later took up 
similar work for the E. T. Burrowes Co., 
Portland, Me. He was married in 19 10 to 
Miss Helen King of Portland. Mrs. 
Brownell survives him, together with a 
son. Mr. Brownell also left a brother and 
a sister. He was a member of Beta Theta 
Pi. 

1893 
A. C. Matteson was elected vice presi- 
dent and chairman of the local council, 
Rhode Island branch of the American Bar

ucational Method there was a two-page 
description of an "Art and Agricultural 
Project" carried on in some of the elemen- 
tary schools of Los Angeles under the di 
rection of Herve W. Georgi, assistant su- 
pervisor of agriculture for the Los Angeles 
City School District. It was apropos of 
current discussion regarding the teaching of

Dr. Herbert Howard Gushing, a former 
member of the class, died in Philadelphia 
on July 3, 1926, after an illness of five 
weeks. He was born in Toungoo, Burma, 
June 5, 1872, the son of Josiah Nelson and 
Ellen (Howard) Gushing, founders of 
Rangoon Gollege. He came to the 
United States at the age of eight and pre- 
pared for college at Vermont Academy,

D., and at Jefferson Medical Gollege, 
from which he received a similar degree. 
He taught for many years at Jefferson, at 
the Woman's Medical College of Pennsyl- 
vania and at Temple L^niversity Medical 
School. In 191 5 he received a B. S. de- 
gree from University of Pennsylvania and 
at the same time became a member of the 
Penn faculty in the zoological department. 
He was married twice, but the Alumni 
Office has not yet been able to get definite 
information as to his surviyors. Dr. Gush- 
ing was a member of the Academy of Nat- 
ural Sciences, Philadelphia, and the trans- 
lator of several books dealing with histol- 
ogy.

Arthur Deerin Gall received the hono- 
rary degree of LL. D. from Howard Uni-

"Advocate of peace in thought, word and 
deed ; speaker, writer and traveller in be- 
half of the same ; master and moulder of 
assemblies for world brotherhood, and per- 
sonal exemplar of the principles taught ; 
friend of God and friend of man, fearless, 
far-seeing, frank and always fair."

SERENITY 

IVhat is it 
iiuorth ? 

IF you have known se- 
renity of the mind, even 
once for a short time only, 
you will know that it is 
priceless. 

But there are those who 
can sell you for a small 
part of your income one 
of the most direct steps 
to this serenity — they 
can sell you security, 
material security for the 
future. 

They are life insurance 
agents. 

They sell a priceless 
commodity at low cost. 
When a John Hancock 
Agent calls on you, re- 
member this. It is worth 
while seeing him. Better 
still, it is worth your 
while to send for him and 
set your mind at rest on 
this score at once.

Lodge. Robert S. Emerson and George L. 
Miner, secretary, represented the class at 
the funeral. 

The sudden death of Dr. George Thurs- 
ton Spicer in Providence on July 26, 1926, 
was a genuine shock to his many friends 
and associates. He had been for some 
years a leading specialist in pediatrics and 
children's diseases and was well-known, 
not only in his profession but also in patri- 
otic society circles in which he played a 
prominent part. Dr. Spicer, descendant of 
an old New England family, was born in 
Pawtuxet, R. I., July 28, 1874, the son 
of William Arnold and Anna E. (Car- 
penter) Spicer. He studied for college at 
Providence High School, classical depart- 
^ ment, and after graduating with his class 
took up special work for his A. M. de- 
gree, which he received in 1901. He was 
graduated from Harvard Medical School 
in 1903, taking his M. D., cum laude.

Providence City Hospital, physician. Prov- 



idence Day Nursery Association, and at 
one time visiting physician, Providence 
Floating Hospital. He was president of 
the Rhode Island Society, Sons of the 
American Revolution, secretary, Rhode 
Island Historical Society, surgeon, Rhode 
Island Society, Mayflower Descendants, 
life member. New England Historic Gen- 
ealogical Society, and a member of Medi- 
cal Veterans, World War, Sulgrave Insti- 
tution, Huguenot Society of America, 
American Association for the Advance- 
ment of Science, American Child Health 
Association and similar scientific and med- 
ical societies. In college he belonged to 
Delta Phi. Dr. Spicer was married Dec. 
15, 1909, to Miss Harriet Hopkins Ses- 
sions, who survives him, together with two 
children, George T. Spicer, Jr., and El- 
eanor Spicer. He is survived also by two

Frederick Howard Tillinghast died in 
Woodland, Calif., on July 15, 1926. He 
was born in Providence Sept. 19, 1877, the 
son of James E. and Maria Louisa (Kent) 
Tillinghast. He came to College Hill 
from the Providence High School and af- 
ter leaving Brown went to Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology for a year to study 
sanitary engineering. He worked during 
the next two years for the Chicago Great 
Western Railroad. Government reclama- 
tion service had its appeal and after he 
took the civil service examination in 1903 
he became identified with some of the big 
reclamation projects in the West. He was 
engineer in charge of construction of the 
Lahonta (Nevada) dam in 1913 and since 
that time had done other important work. 
At the time of his death he was an engi- 
neer in the employ of the Sutter Basin Co.. 
Woodland. Mr. Tillinghast was married 
Oct. 20, 1900, to Miss Helene D. Bennett, 
who survives him, together with two chil- 
dren. He was a member of the American 
Society of Civil Engineers and of Zeta 
PsI.

MAIN FEATURES OF THE INTERCOLLEGIAT 
ALUMNI HOTEL MOVEMENT 



Interested alumni can secure from a clerk at the desk of each Inter- 
collegiate Alumni Hotel an information leaflet which describes in 
detail the Intercollegiate Alumni Hotel movement. 

At each Intercollegiate Alumni Hotel there will be maintained a card 
index of the names of all the resident alumni of all the participating 
institutions. This will be of especial benefit to traveling alumni in 
locating classmates and friends. 

The current issues of the alumni publications of all the participating 
institutions will be on file at each Intercollegiate Alumni Hotel. 

Reservation cards will be available at the clerk's desk in each des- 
ignated hotel and at the alumni office in each college or university. 
These reservation cards will serve as a great convenience to travel- 
lers in securing advance accommodations. 

The managers of all Intercollegiate Alumni Hotels are prepared to 
cooperate with individual alumni to the fullest extent and are also 
prepared to assist in the creation of new local alumni associations 
and in the development and extension of the activities of those already 
formed .

The Intercollegiate Alumni Hotel movement is the result of a year's 
effort on the part of a Committee, the members of which have long 
been identified with alumni work. 

The funds necessary to insure the success of the Intercollegiate Alumni 
Hotel movement are being advanced by the designated hotels, all of 
which have been selected after a careful study of their fitness for 
participation. 

The committee on organization, the activities of which are controlled 
by a special group of the members of the Alumni Magazines Associated, 
has incorporated a non-profit corporation known as the Intercollegiate 
Alumni Extension Service, Inc. which will direct the polices of the 
Intercollegiate Alumni Hotel movement and serve as a coordinating 
unit between the alumni organizations and the designated hotels

Rev. J. Wallace Chesebro of Springfield, 
Mass., announced last month his independ- 
ent candidacy for Congress on a prohibi- 
tion ticket. His two rivals for the place 
are said to favor modification of the Vol- 
stead act, and Mr. Chesebro asserts that 
"his candidacy is based wholly on a desire 
to uphold the i8th amendment." His 
friends figure that if the contest becomes a 
wet and dry fight, the wets may split 
while the drys will remain intact, thus 
giving Mr. Chesebro his chance to win. 

Rev. Harold AL Capron is now pastor 
of the First Congregational Church, Whit- 
man, Mass., and his address is 643 Wash- 
ington St., Whitman. In a letter to the 
Alumni Office to tell of his removal from 
Newport, R. I., he added: "I find to my 
surprise and pleasure that a classmate, 
'Harry' Hall, also lives here." 

Rev. Arthur O. Pritchard's present ad- 
dress is 221 West Grand View ave., Sierra 
Madre, Calif., where he was recently in- 
stalled as pasror of the First Congregation- 
al Church. 

1901 

Professor Arthur I. Andrews is now a 
member of the department of history, L^ni- 
versity of Maryland, College Park, Md. 
Professor Andrews resigned in June from 
Tufts College, where he had been profes- 
sor of history and public law since 191 2. 

Dr. Frederick G. Phillips, a former 
member of the class, died in Providence on 
July 25, 1926, following a short illness. 
He was born in Providence March 24, 
1877, the son of Charles A. and Sarah 
(White) Phillips. He was prepared at 
Technical High School, and after a yeai 
on College Hill entered the College of Phy- 
sicians and Surgeons, New York, from 
which he was graduated in 1902. Follow- 
ing a year as an interne at the Rhode Is- 
land and Lying-in hospitals, he commenced 
the general practice of medicine in Provi- 
dence. He gradually developed the surgi- 
cal side of his work and at the time of his 
death was one of the best-known surgeons 
in Rhode Island. When the Halifax dis- 
aster occurred, Dr. Phillips was one of the 
first to volunteer to go to the stricken city. 
His exertions there told heavily on his vi- 
tality and he had not been in the best of 
health since his return from Nova Scotia. 




"HELD ON THE 
2'YARD LINE" 



HERE'S no more heart-breaking experience 
than to see the team battle its way down the 
field — around end for a yard or two, off 
tackle for a few more — only to be stopped 
dead and held for downs with a touchdown and vic- 
tory only two yards away. 

Just one ounce of extra power would have won the 
game. But the team lacked just that — that little ounce 
of extra power. 

Every business office has dozens of men competent 
CO do their routine work well, who can become sub- 
executives or assistant managers. 

But there are only one or two men who — either 
thru years of experience, or else by carefully directed, 
intelligent study — know the ins and outs of their busi- 
ness, know it in all its departments. These are the men 
with the vital extra power that carries them over the 
lins into the higher positions, and into the firm when 
the openings come. 



For years the Alexander Hamilton Institute has 
specialized in the single task of training men for the 
higher executive positions in business, of giving them 
that "ounce of extra power" that makes all the differ- 
ence between mediocre success and the really big things 
of life. Into the Course have been built the experience 
and methods which have made niany of today's busi- 
ness leaders pre-eminent. 

Not for one moment do we claim that we have any 
magic formula for success. But we do make it possible 
for you to gain in a few months' study what it would 
take you years to gain thru experience. 

The Course is not a substitute for hard work or 
common sense. 

We don't take credit for the fine work done by our 
graduates any more than Yale and Princeton and Harvard 
take credit for the success of theirs. We simply give 
men the facts they need to gain the extra power. If 
they are big enough to use these facts, they succeed. If 
they aren't — they would have failed anyway. 

The Course and Service is arranged and conducted 
in accordance with University practice and ideals. 
Like the University, the Institute urges no man to ac- 
cept its help; but, seeking the widest possible field 
of seivice, it offers information freely. 

A booklet has been prepared that gives all the facts 
about the Institute. More than 100,000 college gradu- 
ates, now in business and the professions, have read it. 
It answers questions that have doubtless been in your 
mind. It indicates definitely how this training can be 
useful, to you in the work you are doing, or would like 
to do. If you would care to have a copy, write us.

Erwin Henry Learned, former member 
of the class, died in Dorchester, Mass., on 
June 17, 1925, following a year's illness. 
He was born in Malone, N. Y., Sept. 19, 
1879, the son of Harvey M. and Helen 
M. (Barsford) Learned. He prepared at 
Franklin Academy, Malone, and was at 
Brown for one year. After he left college

Philip H. Mitchell of the University fac-

Providence. 



E. W. Holmes wrote not long ago from 
Rochester, N. Y., where he spends consid- 
erable of his spare time as the alert secre- 
tary of the Brown Club of Rochester, that 
he expected to come to Providence this fall 
to see one of the football games. "I've 
missed the games for three years," he told 
us — which is long enough for any Brown 
man to stand, in our opinion.

Chalk up another convert to golf ! A 
Brockton, Mass., newspaper said not long 
ago: "Golf grips the bookish and profes- 
sional man as strongly as it does the man 
of business. Attorney William C. Drohan 
realizes it. He has dallied with the white 
pill only a year or so. Previously he had 
turned to books for leisurely recreation, his 
taste running to substantial literature. 
Only during the football season did he 
crave sport, and then simply as a spectator. 
At Sagamore recently, amid 
fog, drizzle, wet grass, he played a full 
nine holes though wet to the skin, and en- 
joyed it. Before being bitten by the golf 
bug he would have considered such a per- 
formance absurd."

"Building Sermons with Symphonic

Rev. Dr. William L. Stidger. It is pub- 
lished by Doran. "This volume shows an 
eminently popular preacher at his very 
best," said a review that we read of the 
book. "It shows the popular methods 
which he has adopted and the method by 
which he builds his sermons. . . The 
book ought to be read by every preacher 
whether he believes in Dr. Stidger's meth- 
od of sermonizing or not, for no man can 
afford to despise a man who gets the ear 
of this generation."

John Casey's fight to regain his health

Arthur W. Packard: Rhodes scholar at 
Oxford, was the author of an article, "A 
Hermonite at Oxford," which appeared in 
the Mount Harmon Alumni Quarterly for 
June, 1926. The editor asked him two 
questions — "How are you living, and 
where?" and "What are you doing?" and 
Arthur answered them delightfully. We 
gleaned from the answers that he is at 
Merton College, Oxford, and that he is 
preparing to take degree examinations in 
the Honor School of English Language and 



Literature. Arthur also confessed that 
"the vacations seem to come with surprising 
frequency, and the travel thereby offered 
gives pleasant diversion and instruction."

Worcester, ^Liss., Post, commenting edi- 
torially on Keefer's decision to join the 
Steam Rollers, said: "Unless we are not 
greatly mistaken, 'Jack' Keefer's pla3^ing as 
a professional will be the same treat for 
lovers of football that it has been during 
his stay at Brown."

Has Your Son His Ticket 
for Brown ? 



That is what a Puritan Child's Educational Fund 
Contract really is. It was so termed by the father of 
one of our little policyholders, who established one of 
these Contracts for his young son the day after his birth. 

In this connection we believe that very few alumni 
realize present college costs. They are certainly high 
now and doubtless will not grow any less. The figures 
below represent no catalogue estimate. They come from 
the actual experience of a Brown Junior who is known to 
us and who is working his way thru college. Here are 
the expenses he must meet incident to mere existence in 
Brown : 



Tuition 


$350.00 


Room, 


150.00 


Board 


360.00 


Books and Lab. fees 


50.00 


Laundry 


50.00 


Brown Union Dues 


6.00 


Clinic 


5.00 



$971.00 

On $971.00 a year the young man would be obliged 
to wear the same clothes in which he came to Brown for 
there appears no such item. He cannot attend a "movie" 
and when he goes to church he must let the collection 
plate pass him by ! Neither does the list include an allow- 
ance for joining a fraternity; he can attend no football 
or baseball games unless some kind friend pays the way. 

As a matter of fact, a man in college to-day needs at 
least $1250.00 a year! It therefore behooves every wise 
parent to start early, and we know of no better plan of 
accumulating the money than thru the means of a Puritan 
Child's Educational Fund Contract which spreads the 
cost,
