On The Hill 



Humanist vs. Specialist 

' I A HE facilities of the University have 
been markedly increased by the addi- 
tion of Hegeman and Marston Halls to its 
equipment. The two buildings were dedi- 
cated with appropriate exercises on the af- 
ternoon of October 13th, the chief speaker 
of the occasion being Professor Irving Bab 
bitt of Harvard, who took for his theme 
"Humanist and Specialist." Professor 
Babbitt eloquently argued for the humanist 
as opposed to the specialist and thus took 
issue with the prevailing opinion of our 
modern day. We confess a great feeling 
of sympathy with his point of view, though 
we readily admit the specialist's usefulness 
in the twentieth-century scheme of things. 
It is the all-round man who comes near- 
est to the cultural ideal. Personally we 
have always approved the education that 
produces a symmetrical result, and have 
correspondingly distrusted any narrow sys- 
tem of instruction that fits the student for 
nothing outside of his specialty. We are 
aware of the arguments that can be brought 
to the defence of the latter, chief among 
them the keener competition of the present 
age, but nevertheless we are sure there is 
room in the world for the man who knows 
as much Latin as political economy and as 
much political economy as chemistry and 
as much chemistry as French, and so on. 
* * * 

Hegeman Hall 

f~\ N THE cover of the Alumni Monthly 
appears a pen and ink sketch of 
Hegeman Hall. There are those who re- 
gret that the earlier type of Colonial archi- 
tecture has lately been introduced at 
Brown rather than the later type, to which 



University Hall and Hope College adhere. 
The argument against Hegeman, Little- 
field and the Metcalf Chemical Laboratory 
is that they represent a Colonial period 
when the Colonies were financially much 
less prosperous than they afterward became, 
and that accordingly these three new build- 
ings at Brown are less attractive than the 
late Colonial ones which were erected on 
the campus before the recent invasion by 
the elder and plainer style. For ourselves 
we do not agree with this position. There 
is a pleasant ruggedness to the trio of new 
structures, and in Hegeman the architect 
has more than made up for any lack of 
adornment such as the elaborate wood 
work displayed on University and Hope 
by varying his simple design. Part of Hege- 
man is of four stories, part is of three and 
a third part is of two. The floor plan, 
moreover, is diverse, and the effect of the 
building as a whole is of variety singularly 
well knit together. To increase this effect 
of unity a physical joinder by means of a 
brick arch has been made with Caswell 
Hall, a 1904 structure modelled after Hope 
with unduly conspicuous porches clearly 
reminiscent of that at the west end of the 
First Baptist Meeting House. 



Lincoln Quadrangle 

^\JO DOUBT the time will come when 
Lincoln Field (the back campus of 
the seventies and eighties) will be in effect, 
if not in name, Lincoln Quadrangle. A 
beginning toward this desirable end has 
already been made. The north section of 
Hegeman Hall follows the south line of 
the Quadrangle and some day we are 
likely to see an addition to the Chemical 



91 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



Laboratory jutting westward along a new 
north line, with another building erected 
between this Chemical Laboratory wing 
and the Colgate Hoyt Pool. We wonder 
if it may not prove practicable by that time 
to convert the flat roof of the Engineering 
Building into something* more harmonious 
with the structures to which it is now ar- 
chitecturally so alien. 

The Day Bequest 

T\R. FRANK L. DAY of the class of 
'^"^ 1885, who died a few weeks ago. 
remembered his Alma Mater with the bulk 
of his very considerable fortune. Although 
there has been no official statement on the 
matter, it appears likely that the Univer- 
sity will receive a sum approximating 
$200,000 from the estate. Frank L. 
Hinckley '91 is the executor of the will, 
with his personal bond fixed at $460,000. 
Dr. Day, who maintained to an excep- 
tional degree his interest in Brown, pro- 



vided that the bequest to the University 
shall be a permanent trust fund to be 
known as the Frank L. Day Fund. The 
fund is to be used for the maintenance of 
a professorship in the Department of Bi- 
ology. This is a gracious gift, made to a 
department that has long been known as 
one of the strongest on the Hill. 

It may be of general interest to our 
readers to add a list of other public be- 
quests by Dr. Day: $5,000 for Alpha 
Delta Phi Association's endowment fund ; 
$5,000 to the Rhode Island Hospital, as a 
permanent fund, to be known as the 
"Frank L. Day Fund," for the pathologi- 
cal department; $1,000 to St. John's 
Church; $2,500 to St. Mary's Orphanage 
to be known as the "Frank L. Day Fund ;'' 
$2,500 to the Providence Lying-in Hospi- 
tal; $3,000, to be known as the "Frank L. 
Day Fund," to the Rhode Island Medical 
Society, the income to be used for the pur- 
chase of medical books, and $2,000 to the 
Providence Athenaeum.

Brown smashed through the eleven rep- 
resenting Lehigh University of Bethlehem, 
Penn., at Brown Field on Saturday, Oct. 
9, winning the long end of the contest by 
32 points to none. 

The attendance of 10,000 spectators was 
by far the largest of the season. At their 
last encounter, in 1923, Lehigh beat Brown 
by a score of 12 to 6, but this year there 
was nothing to it but Brown. Randall was

the star of the game, with Mishel, Broda, 
Lawrence and Edes also much in evidence. 

The Brown line-up: Broda 1 e, Hodge 
1 t, Farber 1 g, Considine c, Smith r g, Ke- 
vorkian r t, Towle r e, Edes qb, Mishel 
1 hb, Randall r hb, Lawrence fb.

Brown made 21 first downs and Lehigh 
none. The Brunonian team played with 
marked rhythm and coordination. 

Brown 2*] , Bates 14 

Coach McLaughry journeyed down to 
New Haven on Saturday, Oct. 16, to see 
the Yale-Dartmouth game, and in his ab- 
sence (though that, we presume, had very 
little to do with it) the Brown team gave 
a weird exhibition of ineffectiveness against 
the Bates College eleven from Lewiston, 
Me. Early in the game Brown got a 20-0 
lead, so that ssistant Coach McMillan very 
properly sent in a bunch of second-string 
men — whereupon the visitors rolled up 14 
points in short order and came near tying 
the score. 

Even the influx of first-string players 
later in the game failed to produce much 
impression on the Bates line and the game 
ended with only a single additional Brown 
score in the second half. 



Brown y, Yale 

A smoothly working Brown football ma- 
chine such as rarely has gone out from 
Providence won its fifth straight triumph 
of the season at the Yale Bowl on Satur 
day, October 23, humbling the much ad- 
vertised Yale team by a score of 7 to o. 

Previous to this game the Yale eleven 
had been heralded as the destined Eastern 
champion aggregation. Its reputation 
rested largely on its victory over Dart- 
mouth a week before it met Brown ; as 
Dartmouth had enjoyed a long career of 
triumph, the natural inference was that a 
team that could beat it must be a remark- 
able team indeed. 

On October 23, however, it met a bet- 
ter eleven. There was no question after the 
game that Brown was superior. Coach 
McLaughry, it turned out, had developed 
a marvellously co-ordinated team, against 
which Yale was absolutely helpless. There 
were no outstanding stars upon it, but 
never, perhaps, has there been a Brown 
team of a larger aggregate power. 

The scoring began — and ended — earlv 
in the first period. Mishel of Brown 
kicked off to Captain Bunnell of Yale, who 
ran the ball back to Yale's 35-yard line. 
The Blue was then penalized five yards 
for an offside play. Foote of Yale made 
two yards and McGunigle followed with 
20 yards, but as Yale was offside the ball 
was brought back. McGunigle punted to 
Brown's 30-yard line. Mishel failed to 
gain and Randall punted to Brown's 43- 
yard line. McGunigle failed on his first 
try but made eight yards on his second. 
Then he punted, the ball going to Brown 
on her 30-yard line. 

At this point Brown let loose. Cornsweet 
made 10 yards and then eight more. A 
forward pass, Mishel to Randall, netted 
25. The ball was now on Yale's 30-yard 
line. Cornsweet made eight and Mishel 
threw another pass to Randall, who 
reached Yale's six-yard line before he was 
stopped. Next came a fast cross buck by 
Brown, Mishel to Lawrence, bringing the

ball within a yard of the goal line. Corn- 
sweet plunged through Yale's right side 
for a touchdown and Mishel kicked the 
goal. 

For the remainder of the game Yale 
played desperately to even the score but 
Brown simply would not permit it. In 
the first quarter Yale did not get beyond 
Brown's 40-yard line and in the second 
quarter was continuously confined to its 
own territory. In the third period Yale 
flashed a 42-yard march but at no other 
time was she dangerous. Starting on her 



28-yard line, she went to Brown's 25-yard 
line. The fourth period was all Brown 
In the second period Randall, having inter- 
cepted McGunigle's forward pass, brought 
the ball to Yale's 38-yard mark, whence 
another pass, Mishel to Broda, carried it 
to the 25-yard line. Mishel then threw to 
Randall but he slipped on Yale's 16-yard 
line and the ball went to the Blue. 

Brown made absolutely no substitutions 
during the game, a tribute to our new sys- 
tem of training. The following eleven men 
played the entire contest: Broda (captain)

The attendance, as reported in various

Brown lOj Dartmouth 

Twenty thousand people, a record .crowd 
for Hanover, saw Brown beat Dartmouth 
on the latter's gridiron on Saturday, Oct. 
30. It was Brown's first victory over the 
Green since 1919 and brought her to an 
even place with her old rival in their long 
series of contests. Each has now won 10 
games, with one additional game a tie. 

After Brown's defeat of Yale the pre- 
vious Saturday it was generally believed 
that she would beat Dartmouth also. 
Dartmouth had been defeated by both Yale

and Harvard and could not present her 
full original strength against Brown. 
Brown, on the other hand, still lacked the 
services of Getz at centre and Nelson Jones 
in the backfield, both being out indefinitely 
with injuries. The chief Dartmouth han- 
dicap was an injury to Eddie Dooley's far- 
famed right hand, with which he has 
flung so many successful forward passes. 
Twice he was pressed into the game against 
Brown, but on neither occasion could he 
perform convincingly. 

The game started with a Dartmouth 
rush. A series of forward passes brought 
the ball far down the field and once the 
Green won a first down on Brown's 9-yard 
line. But here Brown held, taking the ball 
only five yards from the goal. In the sec- 
ond period a Dartmouth kick was blocked 
by Captan Broda. Towle of Brown fell 
on the ball at Dartmouth's 14-yard line 
and Randall shortly went across the Dart- 
mouth goal line for a touchdown. Mishel 
kicked the goal and the score stood 7 to o 
in favor of Brown. 

The only other score came in the final 
period when with two yards to go for a 
first down and 22 for a touchdown, Ran- 
dall elected to save the Brown team from 
possible injuries in the gathering twilight 
and called on Mishel for a try at a field 
goal. Mishel accommodated and the score 
stood 1 0-O, the final figures. 

Dartmouth made 13 first downs to 
Brown's six, and gained 12 1 yards by rush- 
ing to 93 by Brown. But Brown outfought 
her rival in every crisis. 

The same eleven men that beat Yale 
beat Dartmouth. This speaks volumes for 
the new Brown type of training and drill- 
ing and is said to constitute a record in 
major American football. 

The Brown line-up : Broda 1 e, Kevor- 
kian 1 t, Farber 1 g, Consodine c, Smith r g, 
Hodge r t, Towle r e, Randall qb, Mishel 
1 hb, Lawrence r hb, A. Cornsweet fb.

Brown Football in lQ2 f j 

Brown will play Yale at football next 
year at New Haven on Oct. 15, a week 
earlier than this year. Dartmouth's New 
Haven engagement is put back two weeks 
to Oct. 29. 

Brown will play Harvard as usual at 
football next year at Cambridge, between 
the Crimson's tussles with Princeton and 
Yale. 

Regarding the Brown football schedule 
for 1927 the Evening Bulletin says: 

"The shifting of the Brown-Yale date 
to Oct. 15 brings the Yale game one week 
earlier on the Brown schedule and places 
it on the week following the LTniversity of 
Pennsylvania contest in Philadelphia. 
Yale has changed the Dartmouth date to 
a week later, so the Brown-Dartmouth 
game will precede the Brown-Harvard 
game by one week, making Brown's two 
first big games come together, with the last 
two falling together with a break of two 
games between the two series. 

"Brown might possibly have arranged 
an ideal schedule in 1927, with a break be- 
tween each of the major games, but passed 
up any opportunity for such personal gain 
to further the interests of two rivals in the 
arranging of their schedules and to repav 
a debt of gratitude in schedule making of 
some years' standing. When Brown and 
Dartmouth decided to bury the hatchet 
some years ago and resume athletic rela- 
tions on the gridiron, Brown could not 
admit the Green team to a place on the 
schedule without a shift of the Yale game, 
and Yale put herself to considerable incon- 
venience in rearranging a schedule to move 
Brown to another date purely as a matter 
of accommodation. Brown and Dartmouth 
have contracts, but under the arranging of 



96 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



the Yale schedule, Dartmouth could not 
have made the Yale list without a shift of 
the Brown game, and both Yale and Dart- 
mouth were anxious to continue their se- 
ries, so Brown's move for the sake of reci- 
procity is mighty commendable and anothe" 
score for the fine condition of intercollegi- 



ate relations among the New England col- 
leges." 

Thus far Brown's football dates for next 
fall are: Oct. 8, Pennsylvania at Philadel- 
phia, Oct. 15, Yale at New Haven, Nov. 
5, Dartmouth at Providence, Nov. 12. 
Harvard at Cambridge.

News of the Clubs 



By A. H. Gurney, 

A FTER a summer of quiet, the Brown 
■^^ Clubs along the line from Boston to 
Chicago are beginning to show activity. 
It is the hope of the Alumni Secretary to 
make the rounds during the year at hand, 
visiting as many Clubs as possible and see- 
ing in person an increasing number ot 
Brown men. 

The Brown Club of Chicago had its first 
meeting of the year on Tuesday, Oct. 5. 
A lively letter from Burton Harrington 
'18, President, tells us that the Club "has 
held weekly luncheons all year with a good 
average attendance and is showing more 
pepper than any time in the past that I can 
remember. If our program this fall and 
our annual dinner go over the way we 
think they will, the Brown Club of Chi- 
cago will land on the Alumni map with 
both feet." 

There is unquestionably a loyal lot of 
Brunonians in Chicago, and the Club is 
doing its share to create interest in Brown 
in the Middle West and to give honest aid 
in directing boys of desirable calibre to 
College Hill. 

Professor Robert H. George of the de- 
partment of history at the University was 
the speaker at the October luncheon of the 
Brown Club of Boston. Professor George 
is one of the younger members of the fac- 
ulty. He comes from Amherst, but he be- 
longs to Brown. He told his Boston audi- 



Alumni Secretary 

tors the news of College Hill with empha- 
sis on what the University authorities are 
doing to build up and strengthen the intel- 
lectual side of undergraduate life. Pro- 
fessor George had the benefit of a grace- 
ful introduction by George S. Burgess '12, 
Vice President of the Brown Club of Bos- 
ton, and the Alumni Secretary's regret is 
that the dedication of Hegeman and Mariv 
ton Halls on that day prevented him from 
being in Boston to hear Professor George. 

In New York, the Brown Club, reno- 
vated and refurbished, is making an active 
and continuous campaign for members, 
and is succeeding in the effort. T. B. Ap- 
pleget, former executive secretary of the 
University, is identifying himself whole- 
heartedly wth the Club, and his work in 
increasing the membership and in other 
lines is characteristic of his energy and 
spirit. 

The Brown Club of New Hampshire 
with headquarters in Manchester and in- 
spired by Dr. H. W. N. Bennett '97, A. 
W. Rowell '93, W. S. O'Gorman '16 and 
others, was host at a concert and dance bv 
the Brown Band on Oct. 29, the night be- 
fore the Brown-Dartmouth game. 

By the time the next issue of the 
Monthly is ready for the press, the Alumni 
Secretary expects to have reports of the do- 
ings of other Brown Clubs on the alumni 
roll.

Vesper Services 

A series of Sunday afternoon vesper ser- 
vices at Sayles Hall began on Oct. 24. The 
service was featured by the presence of the 
Cooperating Artists of the Boston Sym- 
phony Orchestra. 

The artists were Paul Shirley, director 
and viola d'amore; Alfred Zighera, viola 



da gamba, and Bernard Zighera, harp. 
Mr. Zighera, the harpist, is a newcomer 
to the Boston Symphony and a first prize 
winner of the Paris Conservatory on the 
piano as well as on the harp. 

The speakers engaged for the succeeding 
Sunday afternoon services are as follows :

the graduate registration and the registra- 
tion in extension courses, not yet compiled, 
in order to obtain the grand total for the 
University. Last year there were 190 
graduate students, 13 70 undergraduate 
men, 86 in the School of Education, 463 in 
the Women's College, and 1328 members 
of extension courses. 

Loans for Students 

Through recent arrangements with the 
Rhode Island Hospital Trust Co., Brown 
University is now able to offer students 
loans on a more desirable basis than for- 
merly. 

The new plan differs from the old one 
in that the University has transferred all 
creditorship over to the bank, and is now 
acting merely as a third party recommend- 
ing student borrowers; and, in addition, 
the loans can now be paid by installments 
after graduation from college. Under the 
old plan, students of insufficient means 



were forced to work all summer to obtain 
money with wheh to pay back loans due on 
Sept. 1, and then it was necessary for them 
to borrow the same amount of money again 
from the University to carry them through 
till the succeeding June. Thus they were 
continually "broke." Under the new plan 
no repayments will be required until they 
are out of college with a chance to earn a 
regular income. 

Improving Chapel Services 

A serious attempt is under way to im- 
prove the quality of the chapel services at 
Brown. A Committee of Chapel Services 
has been appointed by Dr. Faunce to dis- 
cuss and formulate an attractive pro- 
gramme. The faculty members of the 
committee are Professors W. H. Kenerson 
of the English Department, R. H. George 
of the History Department, B. W. Brown 
of the English Department, B. C. Clough 
of the Classical Department, and J. P. 
Adams of the Economics Department. 
The undergraduate members are H. A. 
Clark '27, F. M. Flint '27, W. E. Brais- 
ted, Jr., '27, N. B. Jones, Jr., '28, J. G. 
Getz, Jr., '28, and J. S. Collier '29. O. 
T. Gilmore, student advisor, is a member 
ex-officio. 

Track and Field Meets 

One of the most ambitious track and 
field schedules in years has been arranged 
by the Brown management. The dates 
follow, all meets to be held in Providence 
unless otherwise stated: Track — April 16, 
interclass; April 23, Rhode Island State 
College; April 30, Colby at Waterville;

State College at Kingston ; Oct. 29, New 
Hampshire, Brown, Dartmouth at Han- 
over; Nov. 6, Union at Schenectady; Nov. 
12, New England Intercollegiates at Bos- 
ton.

Notes of the Month 

The Brown Band, 55 strong, did itself 
proud at the Yale Bowl and at Hanover. 

The Brown soccer team has lost to Wor- 
cester Tech, won from Bridgewater Nor 
mal and tied with Bradford Durfee Textile 
School. 

On Monday evening, Oct. 26, there was 
a parade, followed by speeches in honor of 
the victory over Yale. The Brown Band 
headed the procession. On account of a 
prevailing high wind, the intended bonfire 
was not lighted. 

The Brown cross-country team lost on 



Oct. 23 to Rhode Island State — as usual. 
Brown has never won from the Kingston 
harriers. On Oct. 29 the Brown team fin 
ished third in a meet which New Hamp- 
shire won, with Dartmouth second. 

Dr. Marvel telegraphed Graduate Man- 
ager Woodcock of Yale after the game of 
Oct. 23, expressing regret at the tearing 
down of the Yale goal posts by the exult- 
ant Brunonians and offering to pay for 
them, but the reply from New Haven said : 
"Enthusiasm of Brown followers easily 
understood and well justified. Appreciate 
your thoughtful suggestion, but there will 
be no charge for the goal posts." 



As Others See Us 



DEFORE us as we write lies the Re- 
port of the Thirteenth Annual Con- 
ference of the Association of Alumni Sec- 
retaries and the Alumni Magazines Asso- 
ciated. It is a comprehensive volume of 
238 pages and contains as one interesting 
feature an "Alumni Magazine Clinic," 
covering 35 pages, in which a large number 
of the graduate periodicals of the country 
are discussed. First come analyses of the 
women's magazines and next analyses of 
the general magazines. Of the latter there 
are 54, among them the following obser- 
vations regarding the Brown Alumni 
Monthly : 

"One of the few dollar-a-year alumni 
magazines — at least, there are not manv 
dollar monthlies. 

"The main impression we got from 
Brown, aside from wondering why a brown 
cover isn't used, is its newsiness. The 
university and alumni life of Brown is cov- 
ered in timely and vigorous fashion. The 
editor seems to be on his toes at all times. 
His editorials 'On the Hill' have the same 
vigorous and timely qualities. Not only 
are faculty lectures printed, but space is de- 
voted also to lectures by alumni who some- 
times give pretty good lectures. Personally 



we're inclined to shy away from all kinds 
of lectures in printed form, unless they are 
short enough to be taken in at one gulp or 
two. We sometimes look at one in the 
Harvard Alumni Bulletin, or, more sel- 
dom, in the Columbia Alumni News, but 
the ones that seem to us worth reading 
are like talking motion pictures — they 
haven't yet been fully developed. 

"The Brown class notes need vigorous 
boiling down, and we believe that custom 
frowns on the placing of only one adver- 
tisement on a page. The editorial flag in 
the back is perhaps a little too inconspic 
uous. We hate to mention this, however, 
because some officials go to the other ex- 
treme, and if extremes must be followed 
we'll go along with Brown." 

This frank and friendly characterization 
of the Brown Alumni Monthly naturally 
interests us very much. 

Our policy from the first has been to 
keep the magazine at a dollar a year and 
we have done so even when the cost of 
everything going into its makeup has soared 
to well nigh prohibitive heights. If we 
doubled the price of the Monthly, not 
nearly as many Brown men would take it — 
and fewer still, (judging from our expe- 



IOO 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



rience with the dollar rate), would pay for 
it promptly. 

We are proud to give the impression of 
"newsiness." If we can't afford all the 
pictorial and literary quality we would like 
at least we can — and we hope we do — 
cover the most significant events in the 
Brunonian world. 

We have no apology for the fullness of 
our class notes. We are grateful to Alumni 
Secretary Gurney, (who furnishes most of 
them), for their completeness and the vi- 



vacity and good temper in which they are 
written. 

As for the color of our cover, it is 
brown, though of a mild and gentle tint; 
or if it isn't, what is it? All we intend 
by means of it is to suggest our college 
name and hue. Certainly a seal brown 
cover would be too doleful. Finally, as 
regards the editorial "flag" or "masthead," 
perhaps we'll emerge from our obscure cor- 
ner some day and flaunt ourselves a little. 
And yet, what's the use?

1870 

Rev. Dr. William Ashmore of the Ash- 
more Theological Seminary, Swatow. 
China, is at present getting his mail at 2227 
N. Broadway, Santa Ana, Calif. . Dr. Ash- 
more is one of Brown's veteran missionar- 
ies in the Chinese field, where he has 
worked steadily and with results since 
1879. 

Professor Wilfred H. Munro is again 
giving a course in Rhode Island history in 
the extension series on College Hill. 
1872 

Arthur Denorvan Dean, fifty-one years 
a lawyer and one of the original members 
of the Lackawanna County (Pa.) Bar As- 
sociation, died at his home in Waverly, a 
suburb of Scranton, on Aug. 25, 1926. He 
was born in Abington, Pa., Jan. 29, 1849, 
the son of Isaac and Polly (Heermans) 
Dean. He prepared for college at Lewis- 
burg, Pa., and East Greenwich Academy, 
and after graduation went to the law 
school of the University of Michigan. 
Following further study in the office of 
Agib Ricketts in Wilkes-Barre, he was 
admitted to practice in Luzerne — now 
Lackawanna — County, Pa., Jan. 4, 1875. 
Mr. Dean removed his offices to Scranton 
in 1878 and from then until the last few 
years of his life was active in practice, 
"principally of corporation, real estate and 
orphans' court law, in all of which he was 



a recognized authority." The Scranton 
Times said: "Very early in his career he 
sensed Scranton would one day be the 
metropolis of northeastern Pennsylvania 
and he invested in land and buildings in 
the city. His judgment was sustained. He 
became interested, too, in the development 
of the lumber business and for many years 
was a director of the United States Lumber 
Co." He was married May 11, 1882, to 
Miss Nettie E. Sisson, who died in 1901. 
Five children survive, Carroll Sisson, 
Russell Heermans, James Davis Dean '09, 
and Mrs. R. D. Everhart and Mrs. T. R. 
Humphrey. Percy Shires '06 was a 
nephew. Mr. Dean wrote and published 
the genealogies of the Dean and Tripp 
families, was active in school affairs in his 
home town for many years, and was other- 
wise prominent in community matters. 
To quote from the resolution read at the 
meeting of his fellow lawyers held in his 
memory: "The children of his neighbor- 
hood, unerring judges of character, all 
loved him. As a neighbor he was admired 
by those with whom he came in contact. 
With his associates at the bar he was uni- 
formly courteous, considerate and obliging. 
We may well feel that we each have lost 
a personal friend." Mr. Dean was a mem- 
ber of Alpha Delta Phi.

"The Abundant Life," a collection of 
the best writings and public utterances of 
Benjamin Ide Wheeler, for twenty years 
President of the University of California, 
has been issued in a limited edition of 3500 
volumes for distribution to University 
men and women, as well as to the general 
public. The sponsor is the California 
Alumni Association, Berkeley, Calif., from 
which the book is obtainable at the special 
price of $4. "Here for the first time in 
print," says the publication committee, 
"will be found many things of interest to 
all Californians and of significance to ev- 
ery citizen as an interpretation of the na- 
ture and ideals of the State University — 
informal talks to the Freshmen; com- 
mencement addresses; speeches on public 
occasions ; writings on higher education ; 
eloquent inscriptions that grace the build- 
ings of the University; and, best of all, 
those brief but matchless salutations with 
which President Wheeler conferred hono- 
rary degrees on distinguished visitors." 
The book has been edited by Dean Monroe 
E. Deutsch. 

1876 
Dr. Charles V. Chapin was elected 
President of the American Public Health 
Association at the 55th annual meeting

1877 
Jefferson R. Potter is now settled at 
3668 Pershing ave., San Diego, Calif., and 
expects to make his home there. Mr. Pot- 
ter will be missed at the gatherings of the 
Connecticut Valley Brown Club, of which 
he was an active member. 

1880 
Dean Gardner C. Anthony, Professor of 
Graphics and head of the Engineering 
Faculty of Tufts College, will go on the 
retired list after a sabbatical year ending 
next June. He resigned last Commence- 
ment and was relieved of his duties last 
month. He has been connected with Tufts 
for 33 years and is one of the best-known 
engineering educators in the country. 



Charles Evans Hughes will deliver six 
lectures on "The History and Function of 
the Supreme Court of the United States" 
before the Institute of Arts and Sciences, 
Columbia University, beginning Jan. 25,

permanent court of arbitration at the 
Hague to fill the vacancy caused by the 
death of George Gray of Delaware found 
favor in every quarter when President 
Coolidge announced it last month.

Lehman Johnson's daughter, Mary Sea- 
born Johnson, was married Sept. 25, 1926,

Abbott Barnes Rice, one of the out- 
standing figures in the Massachusetts Sen 
ate in recent years, died suddenly at his 
home in Newton Center, Mass., on Oct. 
10, 1926. Mr. Rice was born in Hopkin- 
ton, Mass., April 17, 1862, the son of Dex- 
ter and Mary Ann Rice. He prepared for 
college in the Hopkinton High School., 
took his A. B. in 1884 an d his A. M. in 
1887. Upon graduation he went into bus- 
iness, first as a merchant and then as a 
manufacturer. He was associated with the 
Glen Collar & Shirt Co., was treasurer of 
the Butler department store in Newton 
Center and vice president of the Legal 
Stamp Co. In 191 2 he became a member 
of the Newton Board of Alderman, serv- 
ing three years. In 1916 he ran for mayor 
of Newton, but lost. From 19 19 to 1922 
he served in the Massachusetts House of 
Representatives and was on the Committee 
of Ways and Means, Counties and Metro 
politan Affairs. He also acted as chairman 
of the Commission on Education. On his 
election to the Senate in 1922 he immedi- 
ately came into the limelight. His attacks 
on the Public Utilities Commission and his 
speeches against what he called inexcusable 
delays by the Legislature made him a com- 
manding figure. He put into his political 
work the same keenness and drive that had 
brought him success in business ; he was one 
of the highest type of legislators. Mr. 
Rice was a member of the Middlesex and 
Massachusetts Republican Clubs, the Bos- 
ton City Club, the Braeburn Country Club

and other organizations. In 1924 he gave 
$5,000 to Brown to establish scholarships 
for needy students, preferably those com- 
ing from the schools of Newton. He was 
married Aug. 27, 1890, to Miss Amy T. 
Bridges, who died in 1923. He is survived 
by three sons, one of whom, Adams T. 
Rice, was graduated from Brown in 191 5, 
and three married sisters. 

1885 

By the death of Dr. Frank L. Day in 
Providence on Sept. 21, 1926, the Univer 
sity lost a loyal alumnus and many Brown 
men a fine, helpful friend. Because of fail- 
ing health, Dr. Day had not practiced ac- 
tively for two years. He was born in 
South Attleboro, Mass., Aug. 18, 1856, 
the son of James Sweetland and Ann Eliza 
(Holmes) Day. He prepared for college 
at North Attleboro High School, but poor 
health forced him temporarily to give up 
thought of a college education. He en- 
tered Brown in 1881, took his A. B. in 
1885, his A. M. in 1888, and his M. D. at 
Harvard Medical School in 1889. Follow- 
ing a year in Boston hospitals, Dr. Day 
came to Providence to open an office io r 
the general practice of medicine. We give 
his record as he himself wrote it for the 
Alumni Office three years ago : Librarian 
and physician to out patients, Rhode Island 
Hospital, 1891-1901 ; visiting physician 
to same, 1901-19; consulting physician, 
1919; visiting physician, 1892- 1 902, and 
consulting physician since 1902 to St. Jo- 
seph's Hospital ; consulting physician to 
Providence City Hospital ; consulting phy- 
sician and member board of trustees, 
Providence Lying-in Hospital ; member 
American Medical Association, Rhode Is- 
land Medical Society (secretary, 1895- 
1902, vice president, 191 3- 15, president, 
1915); Providence Medical Association 
(president 1905-06) ; member Medical 
Veterans of World War; surgeon to First 
Rhode Island Militia, 1894; Phi Beta 
Kappa; Alpha Delta Phi. When John D. 
Rockefeller, Jr., '97 gave the Rhode Island 
Hospital $100,000 a year ago, he said in 
his letter accompanying the gift: "In ap- 
preciation of the care and advice given to 
Brown students during the years of his 
active practice by Frank L. Day, so long 



associated with the hospital in every phase 
of its activities." Dr. Day was intimately 
interested in the department of biology on 
College Hill and in his will he stipulated 
that the residue of his estate, after payment 
of all legacies and bequests, should be 
given the University as a perpetual trust 
fund, providing for the establishment of a 
professorship in the department of biology. 
The income is to be used only for paying 
the salary of the professor at the head of 
the department.

1888 

In the October issue of "PTM," the 
magazine published by the General Elec- 
tric Test Alumni Association, was a remi- 
niscent article by Professor A. E. Watson 
of the University faculty on "This Motor 
Had No Intention of Running." Professor 
Watson took his title from a note pen- 
cilled by the late Charles P. Steinmetz on 
a drawing received at the Lynn, Mass., 
office for cataloguing. "At times," Profes- 
sor Watson concluded, "when I see and 
hear of the interesting enterprises (of the 
General Electric Co.) I feel as if I would 
like to have remained in the organization 
and to have had a hand in the work; but 
it is sufficient responsibility to have a part 
in teaching the fundamentals of electrical 
engineering to a limited number of young 
men who are likely to accomplish more in 
the industry than I might have done."

Colonel George H. Webb, one of the 
best-known men in public life in Rhode 
Island, died of a heart attack at his home 
in Hoxsie, R. I., on Sept. 21, 1926. He 
had been in poor health for nearly two 
years, and his death was accordingly no sur- 
prise to his close friends. He was born in 
Providence, Sept. 2, 1867, the son of Rev. 
Samuel Heber and Persis Amanda (Fol- 
let) Webb. He came to College Hill 
from the Providence High School and took 
his Ph.B. with the class. After graduation 
he went to work in the Census Office at 
Washington, remaining there until 1895. 
Then he became secretary of the Provi- 
dence Board of Trade, a position that he 
held for some fifteen years. During the 
Spanish-American War he was recruitng 
officer for Providence with the rank of 
Lieutenant. In the World War he was 
director of registration and draft in Rhode 
Island, having been commissioned Captain 
of Infantry, U. S. A. He was also famil- 
iarly known as "Colonel" Webb, a title 
conferred upon him as a member of Gov- 
ernor George H. Utter's staff. He served 
as Rhode Island Commissioner of Labor, 
1913-23, as director of the National Coun- 
cil of Defense, 191 7-18, as Commissioner 
of Labor and Fuel Administrator for 
Rhode Island, as superintendent of the 
State census — indeed, it was said of him 



that he held more political offices than anv 
other one man in Rhode Island history. 
He was a staunch Republican in politics 
and in his earlier days was active in the 
organization and development of the Young 
Men's Republican Club. Colonel Webb 
was married June 1, 1893, to Mary Phebc 
Fahnestock, who survives him, together 
with one son, George H. Webb, Jr., '22. 
He was a member of the Sons of the Amer-

William H. Thornley, attorney and 
manufacturer, died suddenly at his home in 
Providence on Oct. 5, 1926. Of him one 
can say nothing more sincere and appropri- 
ate than Harvey A. Baker '03 said : "The 
Rhode Island bar has lost one of its ablest 
leaders and the State a modest citizen 
whose disinterested counsel will be sadly 
missed." Mr. Thornley was born in Hal- 
ifax, Pa., Dec. 10, 1869, the son of Wil- 
liam Henry and Sarah (Taylor) Thornley. 
He went to work at an early age, kept at 
it for ten years, then decided that he 
wanted a college education. He prepared 
for Brown under the tutelage of W. W. 
Moss '94, entered with the class of 1897, 
and in his senior year won election to Pht 
Beta Kappa. He was graduated from 
Harvard Law School in 1900. After ad- 
mission to the Rhode Island bar he was 
taken into the office of Comstock and 
Gardner and, two years later, was made a 
member of the firm. In 1905 he helped 
organize the firm of Gardner (Rathbone 
Gardner '77), Pirce (James A. Pirce '92) 
and Thornley. In 1907 he was secretary 
of the committee that revised the banking 
laws of Rhode Island, and in 1908 he ran 
for Senator from Providence on the Demo- 



cratic ticket. In recent years Mr. Thorn- 
ley was known not only as a lawyer but as 
a business organizer and executive. His 
business interests were varied. He was 
active in the Tubular Woven Fabric Co., 
Narragansett Machine Co., Centredale and 
Colored Worsted Mills, Lisk Manufactur- 
ing Co., and Gerry Estates, Inc. He was 
also treasurer of the Hope Publishing Co.. 
publisher of the Providence News, director 
of the National Bank of Commerce and 
the People's Savings Bank, and a membe" 
of the American Bar Associaton, Rhode 
Island Historical Society and many 
clubs. His college fraternity was Delta 
Upsilon, in which he always maintained a 
strong interest. He was married Jan. i<, 
1902, to Miss Ellen Snow, who survives 
him, together with three brothers and two 
sisters.

seem to be a possible chance that he could

Arthur L. Philbrick, treasurer of the 
Congdon & Carpenter Co., Providence, 
has retired from politics with the announce- 
ment that he will not be a candidate for

eral committees in the City Council and 
has been as active in important matters as 
any of his intelligent constituents could 
wish. 

1904 

It may be a little late, but it is never- 
theless worth noting that George Kelleher, 
a special Assistant Attorney General at 
Washington, performed heroically in the 
role of life saver at Miami, Fla., during a 
visit there some time ago. George was 
sunning himself on the beach when a wo- 
man, splashing in the surf, suddenly shriek- 
ed for help. George jumped in, fought a 
treacherous undertow, and brought the 
woman ashore. He collapsed and the 
woman did also. Neither suffered any ill 
effects, although it was three days before 
George was able to put on his bathing suit 
and take life easy once again. He has long 
been an expert swimmer.

Rev. Merrick L. Streeter, after a six

Anybody in the class heard from Grant 
Scull lately? Scull's address at the Alumni 
Office is wrong, and efforts to correct it 
have thus far proved futile. 

1908 

Sheldon Howe, assistant professor of his- 
tory at Princeton, was an Alumni Office 
visitor last month on his way to Princeton 
from Jackson, N. H. He reported that 
his son, John, now going on five months,

show. 

Major Norman S. Case, formerly Uni- 
ted States District Attorney for Rhode

Howard M. Chapin, librarian of the 
Rhode Island Historical Society, has pub 
lished a book, "Rhode Island Privateers in 
King George's War, 1 739-1 748," which is 
now on sale. A notice speaks of it as "the 
most extensive contribution yet made to 
the maritime history of Rhode Island. 
Its interest is national as well as local, and 
it will be a welcome addition to all his- 
torical, maritime, genealogical and refer- 
ence libraries, as it is the only work extant 
treating in detail with our colonial priva- 
teers.

Of all our classmates, the one who has 
kept up his athletics best is undoubtedly 
Johnny Mayhew. During this spring he 
has played in club championships at Saigon, 
French-Indo China. In tennis singles, dou-

finals or finals ; he won the handicap 
English billiards tournament for the second

golf club for eighteen holes handicap tour- 
nament, beating the club champion in the

ling the championship of the league. 
Johnny is at present in this country on 
leave and is with his family at West Tis- 
bury, Martha's Vineyard, Mass. 

Hubert Ede, active city editor of the 
Newark Evening News for some years, has 



I Am Busy 

TV THY do you say 
W that when a life 
insurance agent calls on 
you? 

It may be true, but 
why are you busy? It 
is largely because you 
wish to make the future 
secure for yourself and 
your family. 

But the John Hancock 
agent wishes to do the 
same thing for you. He 
does not come to add to 
your troubles but to lessen 
them. He has for his 
commodity the security 
of your future. 

Perhaps the next John 
Hancock agent who calls 
on you can answer some 
of your problems. He 
has the training and deals 
in policies to fit the needs 
of yourself and your busi- 
ness.

Jewish Influence on Christian Reform 
Movements" is a book by Dr. Louis I. 
Newman recently published by the Colum- 
hia University Press. A review of it in the 
New York Evening Post said : "An inter- 
esting story and Dr. Newman puts manv 
things in a new perspective. It is helpful 
to the student of history to have the facts 
brought together as they are in this vol-

Samuel John Mann died in Tupper

in the summer of 1920. His second attack 
followed two years later, and his third and

Mann was born in Caledonia, N. Y., Sept. 
15, 1892, the son of John and Margaret 
(Kennedy) Mann. He prepared at LeRoy 
High School, LeRoy, N. Y. He was a

studied at Columbia in 1921-22 and also 
taught history there. He returned to 
Brown as instructor in history, but had to 
give up because of ill health. Valiantly 
and doggedly he fought against the disease 
that gripped him, but in vain. He went 
from one sanatorium to another until the 
end came at Tupper Lake. He is survived 
by his father, a stepmother and two sisters, 
Mrs. Matilda Mann Given and Miss 
Mary L. Mann.

INTERCOLLEGIATE 
ALUMNI HOTELS 

AN Intercollegiate effort 
-^\ sponsored by over eighty 
alumni organizations to co- 
ordinate alumni interests and 
activities through a selected 
group of hotels, each prepared 
to give special attention to the 
needs of the traveling alumnus, 
the traveling college organiza- 
tion, and the local alumni club.

MAIN FEATURES OF THE INTERCOLLEGIATE 
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 ORGANIZATION 

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 to insure the success of the Intercollegiate Alumni Hotel 
movement are being advanced by the designated hotels, 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 policies of the 
Intercollegiate Alumni Hotel movement and serve as a coordinating 
unit between the alumni organizations and the designated hotels.

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.
