The Life Insurance Trust 

Puts Life Insurance in 

a Neiv Light 



Are you carrying as much life insurance as you 
should? A practical way to decide such a ques. 
tion is to consider the Life Insurance Trust, 
which combines all your insurance policies into 
a definite estate unit and reveals the income-earn- 
ing possibilities of that unit. 

Under this plan you can safely build up your life 
insurance as you would any other value in your 
estate. Talk with your insurance advisor or one 
of the officers of our Trust Department about 
this plan, and its practical adaptability to your 
needs.

A New Chapter House for the Hill 




rjPSILON CHAPTER of Delta 
Kappa Epsilon is planning to 
erect within the next few months a 
three-story red-briciv and cement 
chapter house on the south side of 
College Hill, to take the place of the 
frame structure at 65 College street 
so long in use. The new building 
will cost in the neighborhood of 
$100,000, and will be of modern and 
fireproof construction. The plans 
show the entrance facing east, with a 
spacious drawing room along the 
north side, on the hill, and a large 
lounging room below. The dining 
room will be on the west side, with 



long windows opening on a terrace, 
while beneath the terrace will be 
basement accommodations for triuiks, 
etc. There will be a generous num- 
ber of showers on the second and 
third floors. 

The house will accommodate 52 
undergraduate roomers, and the din 
ing room will seat 75 persons. There 
will be suites, consisting each of two 
bed rooms and a study; and in addi- 
tion there will be single and double 
bed rooms, the idea beifig to adapt 
the accommodations to a wide range 
of financial resources. 



The house is architecturally sug 
gestive, in some of its details, of the 
characteristic Providence coi^struc- 
tion of an earlier day. 

The chapter-house committee in 
charge of the campaign to raise fluids 
for the building consists of William 
C. Johnson, chairman; Frank W. 
Matteson, Clordon L. Parker and 
Robert (). Smith. Sub-committees 
in various parts of the coimtry are 
working with this central body. 

A substantial sum toward the to- 
tal cost of the house has already been 
pledged without solicitation.

On The Hill 

(^ontempora?-y Topics of Interest to (graduates of 'Brown 



(jO?iiiiii 111 t lilt nl . lij2(J 

npHE coniniittce in charge of 
Commencement exercises has 
sent us the following statement 
which should be of genuine interest 
to all members of the Brown family, 
alumni, alumnae and former students 
alike: 

The one. hundred and sixty-first 
Commencement on Monday, June 
seventeenth, should bring back to the 
campus an unexampled throng of 
alumni. It will be the last appear- 
ance of Dr. Faunce as President o\ 
the University, but there must be 
nothing funereal about the occasion 
Dr. Faunce is merely giving up the 
cares of office — he is not withdrawing 
from the world. The day gives us 
the desired opportunity to show our 
personal regard, our appreciation of 
what he has done for the University, 
and our good wishes for success and 
happiness in continued activity imder 
conditions of greater freedom. 

It seems best to the committee in 
charge that explicit reference to the 
change that gives the day distinction 
shall be confined to the alumni lun- 
cheon and the exercises that follow, 
usually in Sayles Hall, and that 
both luncheon and speeches be trans- 
ferred to the new Gymnasium. The 
Athletic Council approve and 
promise co-operation. Transporta- 
tion from the campus will be pro- 
vided for all. There will be ample 
room for a real linicheon at tables 
with reservations for classes, and 
space left tor the public who will 
wish to hear the speeches. Arul 
there will be plenty of time and no 
conflict with other appointments. 

We are fortunate in the speakers 
who have promised to share in the 
program. Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson 
Fosdick, Hon. '20, Everett Colby '97 
and Zechariah Chafee, Jr., '(17 make 
a great combination. In addition 



there will be one or two inscribed ad- 
dresses to present and there will be 
more music than usual. Professor 
Everett will be the presiding of- 
ficer. 

Formal and detailed announce- 
ments will appear later, but it is none 
too soon to begin to make plans to be 

present.

I\lr. Jl (ishhiirn's J I ork 

"^TOT long ago Rev. Arthur L. 
Washburn, the rector of St 
Martin's (Episcopal) Church, on 
( )rchard avenue, tendered his resigna- 
tion after a long term of happy and 
successful service. Mr. Washburn 
will take a vacation of several months 
and plans to devote himself thereafter 
to personal work, work with individ- 
uals rather than with people in the 
mass. We sincerely hope that in 
some way the University will find 
itself able to make use of his invalu- 
able assistance in the futuie. 

For years Mr. Washburn has 
been a regular attendant upon Brown 
chapel services. Morning after 
morning has found him faithfully oc- 
cupying a .seat in Sayles Hall. He 
has also for years made his home iii 
Brunonia Hall. For years, further- 
more, he has received from the Uni- 
versity authorities, by his own re- 
quest, a ilaily statement of all the 
undergraduates on the sick list, 
wlictlier ill the infirmary or in the 
hospitals of tiie city. A[id, being 
possessed of this list, he has taken 
upon himself the lun'ecompensed task 
of visiting the sick, and ministering 
in one way or another to them — in- 
forming their families of their illness 
and doing whatever could be done to 
brighten their period of invalidism. 

W^e had an experience of these 
ministrations a few weeks ago when 
the father of an undergraduate wrote 
us from another State regarding the 

187 



son, who was in a local hospital with 
the "II u." It occurred to us to tele- 
phone Mr. Washbmn and ask 
whether he could give us any new's 
of the young man. "Certainly," was 
the instant reply. "He is at the City 
Hospital. I saw him there last night 
and found that he was having the 
best of care. His temperature was 
only a degree above normal and liis 
condition had greatlv improved." 
Nor w.is that all. Twice the next 
day we received from Mr. Wash- 
burn later information concerning 
the |iatient. And we discovered that 
this was no chance acquaintance; om' 
unofficial hospital visitor knew the 
student well, having made his ac- 
quaintance long before. 

We submit that Brown University 
ow-es a debt of gratitude to this un^ 
ostentatious w'orker, who has given 
it so freely of his interest and efforts 
over a long term of years. For our- 
selves we desire to express our ap- 
preciation thus publicly and to wish 
him God speed in whatever field of 
labor he enters upon his return from 
his well-earned interval of recreation 
and rest. Mr. Washburn is a grad- 
uate of Harvard, but we cannot help 
feeling that he must consider him- 
self — as we surely consider him — ni 
a very true sense a son of Brown. 



(Uiltiirc on Exchnnije Plate 

TV /T ANY years ago it occurred to 
us that it woidd be a good 
advertisement for the c'ultural life of 
Providence if a book store were to 
be established on Exchange place 
where it would be seen by railroad 
tra\ellers entering the city. Never 
within our memory has there been 
an\'thing of the sort there. But now 
the Preston and Rounds Company, 
operating the Franklin Book Store, 
has found it necessary to leave the 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



building on Westminster street winch 
has housed it so long, and has re-es- 
tablished itself at 49 Exchange place, 
not far east from the new building 
of the Industrial Trust Company. 
Thus a truly cultural institution in 
vites the newcomer at the city's 
threshold. 

Providence is much more than a 
manufacturing and commercial town, 
as those of us know, of course, who 
live here. But the transient, coming 
by train or getting a hurried glimpse 
of the city's central square from his 
motor car, might never have guessed 
it in the past. Now we have a full- 
fledged book shop within sight of the 
Union Station, and perhaps some day 
it will be flanked by an art shop or 
some other such institution, empha- 
sizing the very real intellectual and 
aesthetic life of the town. 
* * * 

The Grnnitc Lady 

C PEAKING of the city's central 
square reminds us of the devel- 
opment of Memorial square (as it is 
now called) east of the Post Office 
building. The new war monument 
that has been erected at the centre of 
this large open space is com- 
pleted save for the intended carvings 
on the granite base. The heroic- 
sized figure of Peace which sur- 
mounts the lOO-foot fluted shaft 
gazes abstractedly to the southward 
— or so it seems; and presumably the 
memorial will be dedicated under the 
auspices of the World War veterans 
of the city on May 30 of this year. 
Opinions of the lady at the top of 
the shaft are, so far as we have heard 
them, not altogether complimentary. 
For ourselves we have endeavored to 
be content with her rather angular 
lines and what may appear to some 
observers her excessive amplitudes, 
and to reason with ourselves that this 
is the New Art. Certainly it is not 
the Old Art of the sorrowful lady 
atop the Civil War monument on the 
Exchange place mall. We studied 
the new lady from day to day before 
she was elevated to her present lofty 
position, and she seemed to us to lack 
subtlety, let us say. But we believed 
that when she had receded a hun- 
dred feet toward the zenith her face 
and her figure would take on graces 



not apparent so long as she remained 
at the level of the square. Frankly, 
we are disappointed that she has not 
assumed any substantial measm'e of 
added loveliness in her elevated situ- 
ation. Rut we are still optimistic 
We believe that the sculptor knew 
what he was about and that we shall 



get used to her. Meanwhile the tall 
column on which she stands is digni- 
fied and impressive, and the whole 
memorial is pleasing (to us at least) 
when it is shining in the bright sun- 
light; and we think the lady herself 
looks well from the direction of Mar- 
ket square, and at that distance. 



Three Voices 

President If. II. P. Failure in the Ameriean llelirew 
(Agnosticus Loquitur) 

Wherefore should the wise world in its manhood 

Cling to tales of mystic lore — 

Marvel, portent, dreams of trooping angels, — 

Conned by childhood o'er and o'er? 

Quite exposed are ancient myth and legend, ■ 

Homer now explained away. 

Gone in mist are Romulus and Remus, 

Can Isaiah and Daniel stay? 

Eden's garden, Jacob's wrestling vision. 

Prophet's wonder-working rod — 

Science needs no more those ancient fables. 

Dream or altar, priest or God. 

(DiviNiTATis Doctor) 

Venture not to hope, O foolish mystic, 

God now speaks within thy soul ; 

Revelation clings to sacred scripture. 

Truth is shut in Israel's scroll. 

Con the page with ardor night and morning. 

Count each vanished splendor o'er. 

Giving thanks that once He walked in Eden, 

Though He walks the earth no more. 

Trust thy God, since Moses once beheld Him, 

Serve Him with imceasing fear; 

But dream not outside the ancient story 

Thou thy God canst see or hear. 

(Vox CORLHSTIS) 

Fools and slow of heart in understanding! 

Fatal learning, grossly blinil ! 

Bound by the same dogmatic creed, ye banish 

Present helpers from mankind. 

Still the Eternal walks in cool of even; 

Still he calls at Abram's home; 

That same power that came in ancient glimpses 

Was, and is, and is to come. 

Scripture is but rift in cloud and tempest; 

Through it see the o'erspreading blue, — 

One for thee and for the raptured seer, — 

Streaming with light this moment new.

. The Old Back Campus VIII 

CONCERNING THE OLD WELLS AND THE "WATER PROCESSION' 



Vy E have bounded the Old Back 
Campus, a roughly graded 
plot of land enclosed at either end 
by a stout four-rail fence, whose sur- 
face was from eighteen inches to two 
feet above the present level, criss- 
crossed by foot-paths but with only 
one formal walk, which led in a 
straight line from the rear door of 
Manning Hall to tile Chemical Lab- 
oratorj . 

There were two wells on the Old 
Back Campus, one twenty-five feet 
east of the middle door of Hope Col- 
lege, where the bronze pimip now 
stands ; the other about forty feet 
southeast of the farther corner of 
University Hall. Many were the 
vicissitudes through which thev 
passed. It was customary in those 
days to allow the grass to grow 
until ready for the scythe, when 
it was mowed and left to dry upon 
the ground. One morning late in 
June the campus was found denuded 
of hay while the wells and curbs 
were stuffed to overflowing. They 
were cleaned out as thoroughly as 
possible but the perfume and flavor 
of new-mown hay were all-pervasive 
for some weeks. 

The south well had but a sorr\ 
reputation. It lost its good name 
through evil associations. So the life 
of the college centred about the Hope 
College well. To it came the thirsty 
and unwashed, even from the re- 
motest top-floor rooms in University 
Hall, for their daily supply, since 
there was no running water in the 
buildings. 

Both wells were covered by old- 
fashioned well-houses with a stout 
windlass under the roof, a rope and 
oaken bucket (not "old, " the stu- 
dents saw to that) and a broad 
leathern belt to which a heavy stone 
was attached as a counterweight. It 
was a favorite amusement of the old 
boys to lower the empty bucket to 
the surface of the water without fill- 
ing and then let go the rope, when 
the counterweight would descend 
with constantly accelerating speed' 



By IFalter Lee Munro '79 

and the bucket fly up into the roof 
with a terrible clatter and bang. Of 
course this did no good to either 
bucket or curb, bur it made aji aw- 
ful noise, especially at night, and 
that was what they were after. Oc- 
casionally they varied the program 
by carrying the bucket away from the 
curb as far as the rope would allow 
and then releasing it to find its way 
back. This produced an even more 
horrible cataclysm and, incidentally, 
did much more damage. You may 
wonder at these crude and boyish 
pranks, but remember, the youths of 
that day were not educated up to our 
modern ways of making a noise. 
They had no jazz. 

As was natural tiie bucket was of- 
ten ruined and not infrequently the 
well-curb overturned. The bill for 
repairs to curbs and for new buckets 
and ropes was quite a considerable 
item in the modest college budget ot 
those days. As if this were not bad 
enough, both wells, but especially the 
northern one, were subject to periodic 
attacks of spontaneous combustion, 
occurring generally late at night, 
about the time that roisterers return 
ed to the campus after spending the 
evening down town. The curb first 
blazed up and then burned down. 
Buckets and ropes mysteiiously dis 
appeared and had to be replaced. 

As was inevitable, there came a 
time (in 1868) when the Register re- 
fused to provide a new outfit and de- 
manded that whoever had taken the 
old one should return it. This was, 
of course, very unreasonable. Mean- 
while the students were without wa- 
ter and complained loudly. When 
several waterless days had passed, a 
notice was posted on the campus con- 
veying an ultimatum to the authori- 
ties that service at the well must be 
restored by a given hour of the fol- 
lowing day, failing which the stu- 
dents were called upon to assemble, 
each equipped with some receptacle 
for containing water. 

The appointed time came and 
passed. Still tiiere was no bucket. 

189 



The students gathered upon the cam 
pus bearing every imaginable sort of 
vessel, mentionablc and unmention- 
able. Four stalwarts proudly bore 
upon their heads a big, round, tin 
bath-tub. A band miraculously ap- 
peared to lead them and the famed 
"Water Procession," which has come 
down to us in history, was on. 
Down the Hill it went, stopping at 
the old well in College street, long 
since abandoned, where all of the 
motley collection of utensils were 
filled, then across Great Bridge, up 
Westminster street and down Wey- 
bosset to the music of the band, as 
have so many college processions 
since that day, attracting no end of 
curious attention and applause from 
the populace. The procession finally 
returned to the campus, where it was 
reviewed by the President. This act 
was not down in the program and 
proved a distinct anti-climax. How- 
ever, he was allowed to have his say, 
at the end of which the boys gave him 
three cheers, smashed all of their 
crockery on the steps of Manning 
Hall and dispersed to their rooms. 
Next da\' sundry suspensions were 
meted out to some of the partici 
pants; but the\' had had a good time 
and felt that they were sufferers in a 
worthy cause. The "Procession" had 
been a great success and had accom- 
plished its purpose. It is notable as 
being the first of its kind in the his- 
tory of Brown. 

A new bucket was installed (by 
the college of course) and the old 
well continued its checkered career 
luitil 1872, when the well-house dis- 
appeared and was replaced by an iron 
pump to which a shallow dipper was 
secured by a strong chain. Sanitary 
drinking-cups had not been dreamed 
of in those days. The old iron 
pump did service until 1 904, when 
the present bronze pump, the gift of 
the class of '94, took its place, while 
the trophy room of the Brown Union, 
it went into honorable retirement in 

At first it seemed a sad come-down 
from the poetic "Old Oaken Bucket" 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



to a prosaic iron pump, but tlierc 
were some distinct practical advan- 
tages .in its favor. We were jealous 
of our prerogatives in those days. 
The time-honored rivalry between 
"town and gown" still persisted in a 
mild way. "Subs," as outsiders were 
called, were only tolerated upon the 
campus during good behavior. Let 
them "get fresh" and tliey were im 
mediately seized and ducked. Here 
it was that the pump proved supe- 
rior to the well, for if the victim, 
often a tough young husky from Fox 
Point or the Corky Hill District, 
was held beneath the spout, face 
downv\-ard, by the .seat of his nether 
garments while the vest was pulled. 
away from his back and the handle 
of the pump worked with a will, n 
much more finished and artistic job 
could be done and in less time than 



with tlic slow and cumhro\is bucket. 
The south well came in for its 
share of tribulations. Theft and ar- 
.son are recorded in its annals. One 
inorning in the spring of '77 it was 
reported to "Billy Doug," the Regis- 
trar, (no longer Rcyhtcr: a long- 
standing misnomer had been correct- 
ed ) , that the bucket was down the 
well and could not be made to come 
up, though the rope seemed to be all 
right. About the same time it was 
discovered that the room of Dela- 
barre '80, in the north division of 
Hope was in confusion and minus a 
door. So the college carpenter was 
.sent for and a new unpainted door 
installed in short order. Hardly had 
tlu's been done before one of the boys, 
making a practical application of his 
l^iiysics, brought out a mirror with 
which he captured the rays of the 



morning sun and reflected them into 
tlie deptjis of the well. Lo and be- 
iiold ! both mysteries were solved. 
There was the missing door, painted 
and numbered, far down the shaft, 
while beneath it was imprisoned the 
recalcitrant bucket. 

It soon transpired that some hila- 
rious spirits in the class of '80 had 
been moved to hold a party the pre- 
vious evening. Not courting publicity 
nor desiring to attract invidious at- 
tention to their own rooms, they de- 
cided to use that of Delabarre, who 
had gone home for the night. The 
carrying away of the door at the 
close of the festivities and hiding it 
in the well probably appealed to them 
as the removal of a clue. The Class 
of '80 always did have peculiar no- 
tions. 



The Standing of Brown University Library 

Talk to the Visitors, l^'ebruary 22, 1929, by Harry Lyman Koopman, 

Librarian 



prow long does it take to make 
a Brown man? Four years. 1 
have been here thirty-six years. 
Therefore 1 should be nine times as 
deeply dyed with Brown as an or- 
dinary graduate. I say this, not to 
boast, though it is a legitimate sub- 
ject for boasting, but to pxplain in 
advance the deep tinge of Brown 
that is likely to color my remarks. 

A year ago President Faunce 
asked me to speak to you, and I 
pointed out the great increase in the 
recent late of growtli of our Ameri- 
can umversity libraries. I reminded 
him tiiat when he took ofHce thirty 
years ago oin- library had only then, 
after one hundred and thirty-five 
years, amassed 100,001) \oIumes 
Since then we liave added fhree 
times as man\'. 1 accused iiim 
of being the cause of this growth, 
owing to the expansion in our inmi- 
bers and the extension and intensifi 
cation of our studies. 

To-day I want to review tlie li- 
brary standing of se\en Colonial 
American universities and show the 
place of Brown among them. His- 



torically, Brown is the scNcntli, but 
we may drop out the College of Wil- 
liam and Mary as having had a dif- 
ferent development, and concern our- 
selves only with the others. These 
are Harvard, 1636, Yale, 1701, 
Pennsylvania, 1740, Princeton, 174^1, 
Columbia, 17^4, Brown 1764 and 
Daitmoutii, 1 7'x). To these we 
must add three others wlu'ch ha\e 
f(jrced tliemselvcs into the picture. 
North Carolina, founded in 178c). 
Cornell, foundeii in 1865, and Jolins 
Hopkins, foundeii in i87(). It is in- 
teresting to see not only that tliesc 
are, in the East, our .dominating in- 
stitutions, but also, as regards the size 
of their libraries, they remain curi- 
(iusl\ near their historic order. Co- 
lumbia, owing to its situation in New 
York, has forged ahead. Cornell 
comes after it and Johns Hopkins 
has wedged itseit between Brown 
and Dartmouth. Tliose are the only 
changes. .'\]l but Dartmouth are 
universities. That still remains a 
college, now somewhat overgrown 
(^n the basis of the size of its library. 
Brown seems to be unassailable in its 

190 



rank. But we must go into the ques- 
tion not only of numbers but al.so of 
support. 

These colleges, being eleven in 
number, fall rather interestingly into 
three groups of three each, with two 
in a fom'th group, — the first group 
those of the millions. Harvard three, 
Yale two, and Columbia one; the 
next group between half a million 
and a million, Cornell, Pennsylvania 
and Princeton; and the rest, Brown, 
Johns Hopkins, Dartmouth, Nortji 
Carolina and Rochester, which are 
below half a million. This is how 
these libraries stand in relation to 
their total number of volumes. Let 
us see how they stand in relation to 
last year's volumes added and expen- 
diture for books, the book appropria- 
tion for the cin'rent year, the size of 
the staff, and lastly, the salary total. 

It is remarkable how well the li- 
braries in the first group hold their 
own. Harvard has been crowded 
out of the last two places — staff and 
salaries — by Columbia. Yale has 
been crowded out of its place for 
current books by Columbia and its 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



staff by Harvard. Columbia thus 
more than holds its own, being either 
in its own line or above it. 

The second group is less regular. 
Cornell in all its administrative fig- 
ures drop below its line. In three 
places to the bottom line of its third, 
in one place to the first line of the 
last group and in another place to the 
second line of the fourth division. 
Its showing, therefore, is not good. 
Princeton is on its own line once and 
once has forced itself into the upper 
group ; in all other cases it is on the 
line above its own. Please keep care- 
fully in mind the excellent showing 
of Princeton. Brown is in every case 
below its own line ; in two cases it is 
on the line directly below, and in 
three cases it is on the top line of the 
fourth division. Johns Hopkins is 
almost on an exact equality with 
Brown. In one case it is on its own 
line, in one case just below, and in 
two cases in the second line of the 
fourth division. 

Contrast Brown and Johns Hop- 
kins with Dartmouth. Dartmouth is 
in every instance but one above its 
own line. In two cases it is in 
Brown's line, in one case in Prince- 
ton's and in another in Pennsylva- 
nia's. In a single instance it has 
dropped lower than its own line. 
But as that is the one for volumes 
added during the previous year and 
as Dartmouth is now strong in book 
funds, we cannot expect that to hap- 
pen again. Meanwhile the LTniver- 
sities of Rochester and North Caro- 
lina have crept up from the fourth 
division into the third. North Caro- 
lina has taken one position away 
from Brown and Rochester has ta- 
ken two from Johns Hopkins. Dart- 
mouth, by going above its own line 
has let in North Carolina and Ro- 
chester each into two places on its 
line. In three of these they are 
above Brown's actual place. 

What is the point of this exposi- 
tion? It is this, that in spite of its 
age and its number of books, Brown 
is losing out to its nearest New Eng- 
land rival and, while it is holding its 
own with Johns Hopkins, its nearest 
rival below it, it is losing ground 
badly in comparison with Princeton, 
its nearest rival above it, for Prince- 



ton, in all cases but one, is on the line 
above its own. 

If this were merely a matter of 
pride, we might be willing to swal- 
low it, mortifying as it must be to all 
Brown men. But it means much 
more than this. There is not one of 
us who does not want Brown to fill 
its place. Whether that place be 
large or small, we want Brown to do 
its work exactly on an equality with 
that of the best institutions in Amer- 
ica. We must have students of the 
first grade. To attract these high- 
grade students we must have as 
good a faculty as can be found any- 
where. To get this faculty we must 
pay salaries equal to those paid any- 
where. If I were talking about sal- 
aries, I should want to drive this 
point home, but I am talking about 
libraries and so I go on to say that 
it is not enough to pay our professors 
the highest grade of salaries. They 
must also have an equally high grade 
of provision for scholarship and re- 
search. 

That means a library equal to 
their demands. That means that 
Brown must spend much more than 
it is now spending botl^ for books and 
for their care. It means that its 
present building, which is now filled, 
must be more than doubled. What 
does this mean in terms of actual 
money? Brown must enlarge its 
John Hay Library at the cost of a 
million dollars. Brown is now 
spending, all told, the income of two 
million dollars on the annual increase 
and administration of its library. 
When it gets into its new building 
and provides adequately for the 
wants of its professors in books and 
periodicals and for the increased ad- 
ministration which that will involve, 



it will at once increase its annual ex- 
penditure to the interest on three 
million dollars, that is, $150,000 a 
year. Princeton already spends more 
than this. Dartmouth, which in size 
of library and in scope of teaching is 
distinctly below us, is already spend- 
ing annually for books and salaries 
the income of two and a half million 
dollars, to say nothing of the cost of 
running its great new million-dollar 
library. 

I mention this situation in the 
spirit not of rivalry but of emulation ; 
also because I know of no way to 
make our wants in terms of money so 
clear as to show that our rivals are 
outdoing us. The question is not 
theoretical ; it is practical and press- 
ing. Some of our departments could 
spend wisely several times what we 
allow them. Our library is too un- 
dermanned for its best efficiency. It 
is also too crowded not merely for 
convenience but for the proper stor- 
age and handling of our books. We 
need relief and we need it at once. 
Inasmuch as "at once" means practi- 
cally two years hence, if we should 
start now, our need would be ex- 
treme before relief would come. 

When I came to Brown in 1893, 
we were thinking in terms of tens of 
thousands. A hundred thousand 
made us stare and a million was as 
much out of our thought as out of 
our reach. President Faunce has 
taught us to think in millions. That 
is one of his legacies to Brown Uni- 
versity. If Brown is to hold its 
place among our old Colonial col- 
leges, especially if, as we hope, it is 
to do somewhat better than this, we 
must henceforth think, and you, gen- 
tlemen, must act. In millions. 



Sock and Buskin's Newest Play

troups may go as far as Chicago. 
The undergraduate actors are said 
to have found most congenial mate- 
rial in this sturdy old 1 8th century 
piece, and the small number of play- 
ers required and some cleverly de- 
vised scenery adapt it admirably to 
transportation. 

Goldini is considered the greatest 
writer of comedy that the Italian 
language ever had, this opinion de- 
spite the fact that the playwright 
worked in French during a profitable 
period when he was handsomely sub- 
sidized at the French Court. 

The story pivots about Mirandola, 
the mistress of the inn, who swears 
that she hates all men. Her duties 
as hostess nevertheless compel a cer- 
tain amount of coquetry, and there 
are many who have fallen before her 
charms, including a poor roue of a 
marquis and a noveau-riche count. 
The excitement arrives coincidentally 
with a woman-hating cavalier, who 
puts up at the inn and is intrigued 
by Mirandola's frank tongue. The 
old classical unities have been ob- 
served in the play with the result 
that we have a swiftly unrolling plot. 



Professor Ben W. Brown, who 
has been responsible for the society's 
high standards in artistry and enter- 
tainment in recent years, assumed 
direction of the production with E. 
L. Herrick as his aide. The cast 
includes the names of a number of 
students well known to Sock and 
Buskin audiences. The parts were 
distributed as follows: 

Cavalier di Ripafratta — P. M. 
Dawley; Marquis di Forlipopoli — • 
Ward Jackson; Count d'Albafiorita 
— C. N. Williams; Mirandola— 
E. W. Hendrickson; Fabrizzio, her 
servant — F. H. Geisler; Servant of 
the Cavalier— R. E. Cadden. Mr. 
Geisler is staging the production, 
which has three acts, four scenes. 

A Moliere play, probably "Les 
Precieuses Ridicules," will be offered 
later in March. 

Nearly 500 persons heard Profes- 
sor Crosby read "If I Were King" 
in Sayles Hall on the evening of Jan. 
22. Mr. Crosby gave this, his only 
public reading of the current winter, 
under the auspices of the Dramatic 
Society. 



News From the Brown Clubs In 
All Parts of the Country 

By A. H. Gurney, Alumni Secretary 



\\/'ITH the highly successful din- 
ners for President Faunce in 
Boston and New York, a strong 
gathering in Springfield and smaller 
meetings in Baltimore and elsewhere, 
to say nothing of the annual sessions 
of the Advisory Board in Providence 
on Feb. 21 and 22, the month of 
February was a noteworthy one. Of 
the Advisory Board proceedings we 
hope to give full details in the April 
number of the Monthly. 

Presidents and secretaries of the 
clubs can do their part in working 
more closely with the Alumni Office 
by sending us notices of meetings and 
reports of those meetings immediately 
after occurrence. Such co-operation 
means much more to the Alumni Of- 
fice than may appear on the surface 
It signifies a willing spirit, and a 



friendly one, and this spirit goes a 
long way toward keeping the office 
staff up to pitch. It likewise helps to 
refute the cynics who lament the 
lack of interest by Brown men in 
Brown aft'airs. It is intangible, yet 
it is one of Brown's great assets. 
Every Brown club officer can develop 
and strengthen this spirit by making 
his office an active one while he is 
occupying it. 

BOSTON 

No finer demonstration of the 
Brown spirit could be asked for than 
that shown by the all-New England 
Brown dinner at the Copley Plaza 
in Boston on Friday, Feb. i. Some 
five hundred alumni and guests 
came to pay tribute to President 
Faunce and to cheer and hear 
192 



Charles Evans Hughes '81. Every 
Brown club in New England was 
represented. The various classes 
were grouped together, and there 
was a special table near the head 
table for the men of the 70, s 
The balconies were filled with 
women, who were admitted to hear 
the speaking. The Boston Evening 
Transcript station, WBET, broad- 
cast the speeches by President Faunce 
and Mr. Hughes. 

Ernest G. Hapgood '01, President 
of the Brown Club of Boston, which 
originated the dinner and which was 
responsible for its great success, 
likewise had the pleasure of introduc- 
ing Justice Fred T. Field '00, newly- 
elected to the ]\Iassachusetts Supreme 
Court, Dr. A. D. Mead, vice presi- 
dent of the University, Wiley H. 
Marble '12, president of the Associ- 
ated Alumni, and Professor Emeri- 
tus Wilfred H. Munro '70. Jus- 
tice Field welcomed Mr. Hughes to 
Massachusetts, Dr. Mead spoke of 
his work on the Hill under President 
Faunce, and Wiley Marble told of 
what the Alumni Office is trying to 
do for Brown and Brown men. A 
double quartet from the University 
Glee Club of Providence, with Ber- 
rick Schloss '04 as leader and Earl 
Perkins '12 at the piano, furnished 
most enjoyable music. 

There was, indeed, a lively and 
engaging ' air to the whole affair. 
The Brown spirit was evident in 
abundance. Mr. Hughes never made 
a better speech. President Faunce 
has seldom been more felicitous. Mr. 
Hughes struck the keynote when he 
said that "we have come together to 
acclaim a great leader, an eminent 
university president and an old 
friend. We come as Brown men to 
pay our tribute to the most distin- 
guished service in the history of Al- 
ma Mater." He cited the four out- 
standing presidents of Brown — Man- 
ning, Wayland, Andrews and 
Faunce — and, after lauding "Benny" 
Andrews as the founder of the new 
Brown, continued: 

"The time was ripe for a new lea- 
dership. With the opening of the 
20th century came the master builder, 
the artificer of new fortunes, the de- 
veloper and adjuster, who fitted 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



Brown to her unprecedented tasks 
and enabled the old University to 
hold her honored place in the new 
educational world. 

"The best tribute that we can pay 
to our retiring president is to say 
that if we could obliterate the calen- 
dar and consider only qualities of 
mind and heart, the essentials of vis- 
ion, adaptability and tact, the gift of 
eloquent speech, and the adequate 
representation of our University be- 
fore the critical public, we should se- 
lect by acclamation, as the best qual- 
ified man to succeed himself, Presi- 
dent Faunce. He may yield the 
sceptre, but, as you hear him to-night, 
you will not fail to realize that he 
still carries the magic wand." 

And Mr. Hughes spoke truly. 
The applause and the cheers that 
greeted President Faunce set one a- 
tingle. The President was visibly 
moved by the greeting. Yet he 
quickly recovered himself and gave 
us one of his best talks, reminiscent 
and hopeful, especially as it concerned 
the future of Brown. He said that 
it was our object on College Hill to 
teach men how to think, to enlarge 
their horizons, to make them, as the 
charter of 1764 so well puts it, "duly 
qualified for discharging the Offices 
of Life with LIsefulness and Reputa- 
tion." He held that the present gen- 
eration is no more wicked than its 
predecessors, but he did believe it to 
be more scatter-brained ; and he and 
Mr. Hughes were of one mind in 
the belief that there are many boys 
trying to get into college who would 
be better off in the workaday world. 
Surely it must have done his heart 
good to know that every Brown man 
there loves him as a man and admires 
him as a leader and a public speaker 
second to none. 

During the short business session 
that followed the dinner the follow- 
ing officers of the Brown Club of 
Boston were elected for this year : 
President — George S. Burgess '12; 
Vice Presidents — Frank E. Winsor 
'91, Edgar S. Brightman '06, Z. 
Chafee, Jr., '07 ; Secretary — Preston 
P. MacDonald, Jr., '26; Treasurer 
— Seward T. Jarvis '11; Executive 
Committee — James S. Eastham '19, 
Ralph B. Graham '15, Mian Gulian 
'23, Benjamin D. Miller '10 and E 



R. Place '24. The committee that 
arranged the dinner has already been 
reported in the Monthly. But it is 
not amiss to mention R. G. Sykes 
'2 in, chairman, W. P. Burnham '07, 
Mian Gulian '23 and to commend 
them and their co-workers for the 
success of the dinner. We should 
also add that one of the guests was 
Right Rev. Samuel G. Babcock, who 
gave the invocation. 

NEW YORK 

President Faunce, aided and 
abetted by Harvey N. Davis '01 
President of Stevens Institute of 
Technology, made memorable the 
6 1 St dinner of the Brown L'niversity 
Club of New York, held Thursday, 
Feb. 14, at the Hotel Astor. The 
number of alumni who came to wel- 
come the President was gratifyingly 
large, the dinner, gastronomically 
speaking, was a delight, and there 
was a quick and vigorous Brown 
spirit prevalent throughout. Dean 
Randall and the Alumni Secretary 
were present unofficially, but Charles 
E. Hughes, Jr., '09, the toastmaster 
(neatly and happily he filled the of- 
fice) couldn't resist calling upon both 
of them for the accustomed "few re- 
marks." 

Besides the speakers and the visit- 
ors from College Hill, the guests at 
the head table were William R. Dor- 
man '92 and Thomas B. Appleget 
'17, representing the Corporation, 
Rev. Dr. Edwin P. Farnham '73. 
Rev. A. B. Cohoe, former pastor of 
the First Baptist Church of Provi- 
dence, and Hugh W. McNair '17, 
President of the Brown Club of 
New York. The program we have 
already put away for permanent 
keeping. It was the work of Hoey 
Hennessy '12. C. A. Lu odell '06 
was the pianist of the evening and, 
if our ears served us aright, most of 
the music was made by the delegates 
of the class of 1906, with Alexander 
Graham leading them on. 

Harvey Davis, after a short and 
effective tribute to President Faunce 
as an educator and a friend, spoke 
straight from the shoulder against 
organized, high-pressure "drives" for 
college funds. "The average Amer- 
ican," he asserted, "really has a deep- 
rooted inclination not only to get 

193 



what he pays for, but also to pay for 
what he gets. Why is it that so few 
of us in the field of higher education 
have the courage either to demand 
that our benefactors get what they 
pay for or that our students pay for 
what they get?" He predicted that 
the day was coming when the organ- 
ized drive would fade out and that 
its abandonment would mean an in- 
crease in unsolicited gifts. He men- 
tioned gifts that had come to him in 
the few months that he has been at 
Stevens — gifts made without pressure 
or suggestion. He gave credit to 
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., '97 for op- 
ening up the subject at Brown Com- 
mencement two years ago, and added 
that he himself was inclined to be- 
lieve that twenty years from now 
conditions in the college world would 
be better if more emphasis were put 
on using endowment for productive 
scholarship and less effort were ex- 
pended to keep tuition costs low. 

President Faunce was again at his 
happiest. The reception that the 
New York alumni gave him was as 
hearty and sincere as the reception in 
Boston two weeks before. And feel- 
ingly and felicitously he responded 
He spoke of his many visits to New 
York; he recalled his long and satis- 
fying years of association with the 
Hughes family; and he said that if 
he were selecting a text for his talk 
he would choose the words of the 
Psalmist, "My cup runneth over." 
He paid tribute to "Tute" Davis, 
Alexander Meiklejohn, Dr. Mead 
and other associates at Brown dur- 
ing his thirty years of service. He 
told of the committee which is set- 
ting down in black and white a, state- 
ment of Brown's aims and policies 
and, as always, he was optimistic of 
the future of Brown because the "old 
college has a definite place in this 
world of ours." Then, too, he gave 
us a sure and pleasing pen picture of 
President-elect Barbour and bespoke 
for his successor the aid and interest 
of the alumni. 

After the dinner many lingered to 
shake hands with the President and 
Dean Randall. Certainly the get-to- 
gether was one that we shall recall 
with pleasure, and we thank Hugh 
McNair and Hoey Hennessy and 
Brent Smith and the rest for the time

men. 

PITTSBURGH 

The following letter from Edward 
W. Hill, secretary of the Brown 
Club of Pittsburgh, tells its own 
story delightfully) 

"Fifteen members of our Brown 
Club met with Dean Randall at the 
University Club on Monday even- 
ing, Jan. 14, where we had an infor- 
mal dinner, after which the Dean 
gave us an interesting talk about con- 
ditions and prospects at the Univer- 
sity. As usual, the evening was a 
most delightful one. Our group here 
is small and our activities so limited 
that only the ones who are genuinely 
interested in Brown turn out. This 
bond makes a very friendly group, 
even though many of us do not see 
one another more than once a year. 
Brown publicity is so meagre out 
here that this annual visit of some 
representative from the University 
gives us practically our only point of 
contact with doings in Providence. 

"The Dean attended two informal 
luncheons during his stay in the city. 
On Monday, Robert A. Marble in- 
vited him to the Keystone Athletic 
Club to a noon luncheon at which 
were present the Dean, Leon Payne, 
L. F. P. (Pat) Curry, the host and 
myself. On Tuesday noon the 
Dean, J. H. Alger, j". O. Chesley 
and myself lunched together at the 
Unuiversity Club. Both affairs were 
very enjoyable and I think the Dean 
enjoyed the intimacy of them. I 
made one speaking engagement at the 
Shadyside Academy, a country pre- 
paratory school near here which 
sends over ninety per cent, of its 
graduates to college and, I believe, 
now has two former students at 
Brown. Unfortunately the Dean 
was not feeling well Tuesday morn- 
ing, so the engagement had to be can- 
celled, much to the regret of all con- 
cerned. 

"We were glad to welcome Ray 
Smith '14 at the dinner Monday. 
He has recently come from Buffalo 
and called up on the day of the din- 
ner to make his reservation. A com- 
plete list of the men at the dinner fol- 
lows: Dean Randall, Robert A. 
Marble '05, president of the club; 



Roy O. Hughes '00, Leon F. Payne 
'07, J. H. Alger '09, J. O. Chesley 
'11, H. Elliott Foote '14, E. G. Mc- 
Dowell '14, Ray Smith '14, E. W. 
Hill 'i5n, Robert M. Watson '17, 
L. F. P. Curry 'i8n, I. F. Cromp- 
ton '20, L. P. Lanigan '20, Ivan 
Half '24 and Arthur Marble, son of 
R. A. Marble and former member 
of the class of 1931." 

NEW BEDFORD 

"It was our largest meeting in 
years," President Wardwell C. Leon- 
ard '18 wrote the Alumni Secretary 
after the annual gathering of the 
Brown Club of New Bedford at the 
Wamsutta Club, New Bedford, Jan. 
30. "And I am much gratified. It 
is the culmination of a really active 
year on our part. A Glee Club con- 
cert, a showing of 'Macbeth' in mod- 
ern dress by the Dramatic Society, 
plus some bowling activity with oth- 
er college clubs — for a small group 
this is quite an accomplishment." 

It is. The alumni in New Bed- 
ford are certainly up on their toes, 
as they maintain two scholarships in 
addition to their other work. The 
speakers at the annual meeting were 
Dean Kenneth O. Mason '14, Coach 
D. O. McLaughry and the Alumni 
Secretary. Then, too, there was Ed- 
mund Wood '76, trustee of the Uni- 
versity, who told us of his visit with 
President Faunce in the hope of get- 
ting the President to be the guest of 
the alumni in New Bedford and also 
of the work of the committee which 
chose Dr. Clarence A. Barbour '88 
to succeed President Faunce. An in- 
teresting story, told in Mr. Wood's 
urbane manner, and we all listened 
with great interest. At the conclu- 
sion of his talk it was unanimously 
voted to send President Faunce a res- 
olution congratulating him upon his 
thirty years of service and extending 
best wishes for him in the years to 
come. 

Dean Mason's talk was the best 
your correspondent has ever heard 
with regard to the problem of select- 
ing and admitting applicants to the 
LTniversity. Dean Mason knows his 
subject. He knows how to present 
it logically, vividly and with humor- 
ous touches here and there that 
lighten the serious parts. He made 
194 



it plain that the University to-day is 
no place for the boy who wants to 
enter college simply because it is the 
thing to do. And he also made it 
evident that the alumni can do much 
to help the University authorities not 
alone by interviewing applicants to 
learn first hand about their personal- 
ities and characteristics but also by 
telling the University of desirable 
boys with whom they come in con- 
tact. 

Coach McLaughry described the 
work of the football squad in the sea- 
son of 1928 and outlined some of his 
hopes for 1929. He commented on 
the hard schedule for next season and 
added that if all went well he ex- 
pected to have enough players to 
meet it. The Alumni Secretary told 
of Faculty changes, undergraduate 
activities and campus doings as he has 
observed them since last September. 
After the formal meeting, the 
alumni broke up into groups and sur- 
rounded Dean Mason, Coach Mc- 
Laughry and the Alumni Secretary 
to ask questions and discuss topics of 
interest to them. The officers of the 
club for the year are : President — 
Wardwell C. Leonard '18; Vice 
President — Leslie H. Sutherland 
'03 ; Secretary — Frank A. Walker 
'08; Treasurer — Charles F. Archam- 
bault '12; Executive Committee — 
Theodore B. Baylies '95n, Nathaniel 
Underdown '26, John B. Riddock 
'18. Delegate to Advisory Board — 
President Leonard. 

CONNECTICUT VALLEY 

Dean Randall gave one of the 
most moving talks of his long career 
on the Hill at the annual meeting 
and dinner of the Connecticut Val- 
ley Brown Club at the Hotel Kim- 
ball, Springfield, Feb. 8. The 
alumni who came from Springfield, 
Holyoke, Palmer, Chicopee Falls and 
other places in the Valley listened to 
him with absorbing interest, and at 
the conclusion they gave him an ova- 
tion that must have warmed the 
cockles of his heart. 

Coach McLaughry, the Alumni 
Secretary and Elmer B. Marsan '31, 
better known on the campus as 
"Dick," were also on the program, 
with President Clifton H. Hobson 
'04 as the genial introducer. Mar- 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



sail, a protege of Hobson, was quite 
as much at home as an after-dinner 
speaker as he is running the eleven 
on the gridiron, and his talk on the 
past season was as good as we have 
heard any undergraduate deliver in 
years. Coach McLaughry (back in 
home territory) described prospects 
for next fall, and the Alumni Secre- 
tary appeared in his role of news- 
bearer from the Hill. Dean Randall 
spoke intimately of his experiences in 
office, commented on fraternity prob- 
lems, and otherwise gave a sharp and 
well-sketched picture of conditions at 
Brown as he is familiar with them. 

Wesley E. Monk '96, recently 
come to Springfield as counsel for the 
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insur- 
ance Company, made his bow as a 
member and spoke briefly. Dr. H. 
C. Tooker '13, Sumner T. Packard 
'95 and others also spoke. Secretary 
Ralph A. Armstrong '17 read a let- 
ter from President Faunce, and, on 
motion of Mr. Packard, the vote was 
unanimous to direct the secretary to 
reply to Dr. Faunce's letter, thank- 
ing him for his interest and extend- 
ing to him the best wishes of the Con 
necticut Valley alumni as he prepares 
to lay aside the duties of the office he 
has filled so admirably for thirty 
years. Albert D. Shaw '02 was el- 
ected president for this year and 
Armstrong was re-elected secretary. 

BALTIMORE 

The Brunonians in Baltimore met 
Friday evening, Feb. 8, to hear Pro- 
fessor Berry of the Department of 
Geology, the Johns Hopkins Univer- 
sity, describe incidents in his expedi- 
tions to the Andes. Dr. Justin An- 
drews '23, in reporting the meeting, 
said that there were hopes of a visit 
from someone at the University be- 
fore the year is out. The Alumni 
Secretary hereby announces that he 
intends to do his part to see that the 
hope is fulfilled as soon as possible 

BUFFALO 

"Please be advised that all further 
communications concerning the activ- 
ities of Brown alumni in Western 
New York should be addressed to 
Lloyd W. Josselyn '07, vice libra- 



rian, Buffalo Public Library," says 
an official letter from Stanley P 
Marsh 'i2n, who, as we tell else- 
where, has come back to College Hill 
as a student. 

"We held an alumni meeting at 
the home of Dr. Louis A. Squires 
'95n on the occasion of Dean Ran- 
dall's visit to the city. Alumni, their 



wives and sweethearts were present, 
and the Dean unfolded with charac- 
teristic charm a report of the aca- 
demic and social problems on the 
Hill. The following officers were 
elected for the coming year: Presi- 
dent — Lloyd W. Josselyn; Vice 
President— William M. Fay '18; 
Secretary — Stanley P. Marsh.

Not to Play Harvard 

Charles B. Coppen said in his 
Journal sporting cohmin, Feb. 20: 

During the closing days of the 
1928 football season a story was cir- 
culated in Boston to the effect that 
Brown might be back on the Har- 
vard schedule in 1930. A few days 
ago William Bingham, director of 
athletics, gave out the list of dates 
for both 1929 and 1930, and as was 
expected by those in close touch with 
the Hill organization Brown's name 
was among the missing. 

Holy Cross, successor to Brown 
on the date held by the Bears for 
many seasons, will be the Crimson's 
opponent for the next two years, on 
the Saturdays preceding the annual 
battle with Yale. 

Brown men have never become rec- 
onciled to the loss of the annual con- 
test with Harvard, but several sea- 
sons probably will elapse before the 



old rivals meet again on the gridiron. 
Director Bingham is already round- 
ing up opponents for the 1931 sched- 
ule and it is known that Dartmouth 
and West Point will be played that 
season. 

Syracuse, which has been trying 
for several years to book a game at 
Cambridge, and Minnesota may be 
on the 1931 schedule, according to 
unofficial reports. 



Broivn-Yale Football 

It was announced on Feb. 19 that 
hereafter the Brown-Yale football 
game will be rated at New Haven as 
a major contest, with seats reserved 
at the Yale Bowl, as in the games 
with Harvard, Princeton and Dart- 
mouth. 

Meanwhile the Brown Daily Her- 
ald on Feb. 20 printed the following: 

The Daily Herald learned yester- 
day from fairly reliable sources that 
the University and Yale may play a 
football game this spring in the Yale 
Bowl. Definite plans have not yet 
been formulated, but it is understood 
that negotiations are now being car- 
ried on between the athletic authori- 
ties of the two Universities. 

The plan, if approved, calls for 
three weeks of spring training on the 
part of each team. At the end of 
that interval a regulation contest 
will be played at New Haven in or 
der to judge the benefits derived 
from spring training. The game in 
all probability will be played behind 
closed gates, newspaper reporters as 
well as the general public being 
barred from attending the experi- 
ment. 

Dr. F. W. Marvel, Director of 
Athletics at the University, is under- 
stood to be somewhat opposed to the 
idea inasmuch as it would weaken 
perceptibly the spring sport squads. 
Several members of the football team 
are likewise competitors in baseball, 
lacrosse and track, and the formation 
of a spring football team would make 
it impossible for them to compete in 
but one activity. W. L. Fogarty 
'31 in track, S. B. Flora '31, W. E. 
S. Moulton '31 and D. Edes '31 in 
baseball, and E. P. Hapgood in 
196 



lacrosse are some of the more out- 
standing examples. 

Coach D. O. McLaughry, on the 
other hand, is believed to view the 
suggestion in a favorable light. Mc- 
Laughry has always been an expo- 
nent of a short training session in the 
spring, and this year, on account of 
the early opening of the football sea- 
son, is thought to be very much in 
favor of the spring workout. Last 
year Dartmouth and the University 
observed a compact calling for no 
spring practice, but the result was 
not entirely to McLaughry's satisfac- 
tion. 

Brown and Dartmouth 

As the Monthly goes to press the 
announcement is made that Brown 
and Dartmouth will not meet on the 
gridiron in 1930 or 1931. The ini- 
tiative in this break, which is an en 
tirely friendly discontinuance of grid- 
iron relations, comes from Hanover. 

Dartmouth is taking on a Cali 
fornia university, it appears, for a 
game-and-game arrangement, which 
means one contest in the East and the 
other in the West, during the next 
two years. Accordingly it desires to 
give up, for the time being at least, 
its meetings with Brown, though in 
other sports the old amiable relations 
between the two institutions will 
go on. 

It is many a long day since Brown 
and Dartmouth were "natural" riv- 
als, in the accepted sense of the word, 
with each looking forward to its 
game with the other as the great final 
match of the year. In fact the far- 
northern situation of Hanover pre- 
cludes a final game there. To get 
around this difficulty the two col- 
leges used to meet at Springfield, 
Boston or Providence. We regret 
that there is to be no game with the 
Green next year or the year after. 
yet there should be no grave difficulty 
in arranging attractive schedules for 
both seasons. 

In 1930 we shall have both Yale 
and Princeton on our list, with Syr- 
acuse also arranged for, and pre- 
sumably Colgate. In 1931 Yale is 
to trek to Chicago, to celebrate the 
40th anniversary of Alonzo A. 
Stagg's going there as football coach. 
(Stagg is an '88 Yale man), and for 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



that reason Brown will not be on 
the Yale list that year, Chicago get- 
ting our usual date; but we see no 
reason to suppose that there will be 
more than a brief interruption in the 
relations of the Brown and Blue. 
Meanwhile we have a two-year 
agreement with Princeton for 1929 
and 1930, though both games are to 
be played on the New Jersey cam- 
pus. 

It is the opinion of the Alumni 
Monthly that the absence of Dart- 
mouth from the Brown schedule 
should be taken as an opportunity to 
introduce a number of new oppo- 
nents. Since it has come to be the 
fashion to play inter-sectional games, 
we hope that Brown will arrange for 
a game-and-game arrangement with 
one or more of these. Yale proposes 
to repay Georgia's visits by an early 
visit to the Cracker State. Dart- 
mouth went last year to Northwest- 
ern at Evanston, and is going 
shortly to California, (where Brown, 
by the way, went as long ago as 1914 
for a new i ear's contest with Wash 
ington State), and where Harvard 
has been. 

We suggest further the possible 
availability of such opponents as Cor- 
nell, Columbia, Army, Navy and 
Pennsylvania. 



Broicn Judges in Rhode Island 

Not only are the Chief Justice of 
the Rhode Island Supreme Court and 
the Presiding Justice of the Superior 
Court graduates of the University, 
but there is also a gratifying number 
of Brunonians occupying important 
positions in all courts of the State. 
William H. Sweetland '78 heads the 
Supreme Court and Willard B. Tan- 
ner '79 is the guiding genius of the 
Superior Court. Bertram S. Blais- 
dell '8g is clerk of the Supreme 
Court, an office which he has held 
with honor and respect for many 
years. A similar statement is true of 
Walter S. Reynolds '93, clerk of the 
Superior Court, Providence and Bris- 
tol Counties. 

In the District Courts the Judges 
include: Fourth, Wayne H. Whit- 
man 'i2n; Fifth, Frank H. Ham- 
mill '00; Sixth, Howard B. Gorham 



'98 ; Seventh, G. Frederick Frost '96 ; 
Eleventh, Roscoe M. Dexter '00; 
Twelfth, Everett L. Walling '96,

Professor Ralph E. Badger's new 
book, "Investment Principles and 
Practices," has been published by 
Prentice Hall. "This volume," said 
a reviewer for Barron's, New York 
197 



"will prove useful to securities sales- 
men, to everyone who intends enter- 
ing the field of commercial or invest 
ment banking, to lawyers who ad- 
minister estates, and to the layman 
who desires a better knowledge of 
investment principles and practices." 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



Professor Emeritus Wilfred H. 
Munro was elected senior warden of 
St. Martin's Church, Providence, at 
the last annual election. Professor 
Munro was a guest at the all-New 
England dinner of the Brown Cluh 
of Boston on Feb. i, and President 
Ernest G. Hapgood 'oi introduced 
him as the oldest alumnus present. 
Professor Munro has missed very 
few of the annual dinners in Boston 
during the last half century. He is 
also a regular attendant at the meet- 
ings of the A. E. Club in this city. 

"Moral Values," by Professor 
Walter G. Everett, is now being 
translated into the Japanese laij- 
guages and will soon issue from the 
press in Tokyo. Professor Everett's 
emphasis on values rather than on 
laws and regulations has been widely 
recognized as important both by 
American and European scholars. 

Professor Horace M. Reynolds of 
the English Department was one of 
the lecturers in January at the Prov- 
idence Public Library, his subject 
being "Some Irish Dramatists." 
Professor Reynolds is winning recog- 
nition as one of the authorities in this 
countrv on the Irish drama. 

Professor Norris W. Rakestraw of 
the Department of Chemistry lec- 
tured at the January meeting of the 
Radio Club of Rhode Island in Prov- 
idence on "Atoms and Electrons." 

Professors W. H. Kenerson and 
A. E. Watson of the Division of En- 
gineering and Charles A. Kraus of 
the Department of Chemistry are 
serving nn the Providence sub-com- 
mittee which is engaged in stimulat- 
ing interest among the engineers of 
the city in the coming world engi- 
neering congress in Tokio, Japan. 

Professor Charles Wilson Brown 
of the Department of Geology, at 
the annual meeting of the American 
Institute of Mining and JMetallur 
gical Engineers in New York, Feb 
18-21, read a paper on "The Case 
Method of Teaching Geology to 
Engineers." Professor Brown insti- 
tuted this method last fall — it is a 
truly pioneer work, according to ob- 
servers — and fellow geologists are 
showing interest in it. 

Professor Louis Landre of the De 
partment of Romance Languages ad- 
dressed the members of Maison Fran- 
caise in Cleveland, O., on Jan. 30. 
He took for his subject, "The Prin- 
cipals of the Contemporary Theatre " 
Professor Ha-old S. Bucklin of 
the Department of Social Science is 



the compiler of a directory of Prov- 
idence social work agencies and insti 
tutions which has been published bv 
the social service committee of Grace 
Church. The directory contains 
seventy-two pages and is the first au- 
thoritative work of its kind to be is- 
sued in Providence. 

Professor S. Foster Damon of the 
English Department was the Janu- 
ary speaker at the Ritz Carlton, Bos- 
ton, under the auspices of the Atlan- 
tic Monthly Bookshop. His topic 
was "Amy Lowell." Professor Da- 
mon is writing a biography of the 
poet which will be published by 
Houghton Mifflin Company. 

Dean Kenneth O. Mason spoke 
on "Selective Admission" before the 
Alumnae Council of Smith College 
at Northampton, Mass., Feb. 16. 
"The College Man of To-day" was 
his topic at an open meeting of the 
Men's Club of Braintree, Mass., on 
Feb. 6. Dean Mason has engage- 
ments on his calendar for this month 
which will take him to various places 
in New England. He also expects 
to visit preparatory and high schools 
from which Brown draws or is desi- 
rous of drawing Freshmen. 

Professor Edward C. Kirkland of 
the Department of History gave an 
address on "History and Propa- 
ganda" before the Hampshire Pro- 
gressive Club forum in Northamp- 
ton, Mass., on Feb. 10. Professor 
KirklanJ's book, "Peacemakers of 
1S64," is the best account of its kind 
of the efforts of the propagandists 
during the Civil War. 

Professor A. H. MacPhail's arti- 
cle in the February number of the 
American Journal of Nursing on the 
results' of intelligence tests given stu- 
dent nurses at the Rhode Island Hos- 
pital attracted much attention. Ac- 
cording to Professor MacPhail, the 
value of these tests is in establishing 
a means of "predicting probable suc- 
cess or failure during the training pe- 
riod."

1819 

A copy of the statue of Horace 
Mann which stands in front of the 
State House at Boston has been pre- 
sented to the headquarters of the Na- 
tional Education Association in 
Washington. Mann was the "grand- 
father" of the association, founder of 
198 



normal schools for teachers, former 
President of Antioch College at Yel 
low Springs, O., and one of Brown s 
most illustrious pioneers in the field 
of education.

Rev. Joseph William Rees, known 
to his friends and associates as "Fa- 
ther Rees," died in Chicago, 111., on 
Dec. 6, 1928. When he was eight 
years old he was working in the 
mines of Wales, his native country; 
at eighteen he became a minister of 
the gospel and remained in the pro- 
fession for more than half a century. 
He was' born in Llanelly, Wales, 
Oct. 23, 1.838, the son of William 
and Ann Rees and was baptized in 
the church at Aberdare, South 
Wales, Dec. 26, 1855. He began 
preaching shortly afterward, came to 
this country, studied at Phillips An- 
dover and entered the University in 
1 86 1. Just before the close of the 
Civil War he enlisted in Company 
C, First Rhode Island Infantry, 
which was organized among the un- 
dergraduates. From College Hill 
he went to Newton Theological In- 
stitution and after three years there 
started his career as an ordained 
preacher in Eaton Rapids, Mich. He 
held pastorates in White Pigeon, 
Mich., Clinton, 111., Mankato, 
Minn., Sioux City, la., and in sev- 
eral churches in and near Chicago. 
On his retirement he was named 
pastor emeritus of the Roseland and 
Normal Park churches in the Chi- 
cago district. "A preacher practi- 
cally all of his life," said Benjamin 
Otto in the Chicago Baptist News, 
"he 'walked with God' as truly as 
the men of God whose names are in 
the Book." He made his last ap- 
pearance in the pulpit in Appleton, 
Wis., in July, 1927. "Father" Rees 
was married Sept. 16, 1869, to Miss 
Louise F. Hutchins of Kennebunk- 
port. Me., and there are two chil- 
dren, .Louise P. Rees and Carey G. 
Rees, and two granddaughters sur- 
viving. Mrs. Rees died in 1919. 
shortly before the golden wedding 
anniversary of the couple.

Ann (]\Iathewson) Smith. He 
prepared at the Lyon's School and 
remained in college with the class 
for three and a half years. Then he

went abroad, stayed two years and 
returned to receive his degree of A. 
B. in 187 1. For many years he was 
engaged with his brother, the late 
Charles Morris Smith '59, in the 
manufacture of cotton goods at the 
Eagle Mills, Woonsocket, R. L 
With his brother he also maintained 
an office in Providence under the 
name of the C. M. and G. M. Smith 
Company. He was one of the found- 
ers of the Hope Club of Providence 
and at one time was active in the af- 
fairs of the Agawam Hunt Club. 
He had been a director of the Mer- 
chants National Bank and at the 
time of his death was a director of 
the Blackstone Mutual Fire Insur- 
ance Co. He was married Oct. 31. 
1876, to Miss Mary Elizabeth Taft, 
who survives him, together with a 
daughter. Miss Hope Smith, and a 
son, Brockholst M. Smith, of Mil- 
ton, Mass. 

1871 
Henry Marsh, Jr., one of the 
deans of the ' Rhode Island bar and 
for many years a progressive and en- 
ergetic member of the Providence 
School Committee, died in Provi- 
dence on Jan. 22, 1929. He had been 
confined to the house for some time. 
He was born in Worcester, Mass., 
Sept. 20, 1849, the son of Henry and 
Mary M. A. (Doane) Marsh. He 
prepared at the Providence High 
School and after leaving college in 
1871 studied law for the next three 
years. He was admitted to the 
Rhode Island bar in December, 1874, 
and to the United States Circuit 
Court in August, 1876. He was 
deputy clerk of the United States 
Circuit and District Courts, 1882-92, 
L^nited States Commissioner from 
1 88 1 to 1908 and clerk of the Prov- 
idence Municipal Court for the year 
of 1906. The schools were his avo- 
cation, and he served as a member of 
the school committee from the First 
Ward of Providence for twenty 
years. His special field was in mat- 
ters pertaining to the high schools. 
With the reorganization of the school 
committee in 1925, Marsh retired to 
devote his whole time to his law 
work. He was married in 1888 to 
Mary Ida Gildersleeve of Brooklyn, 
N. Y. Mrs. Marsh died in Febru- 
ary, 1908. One son, Henry G. 
Marsh '12, survives him.

1875 
Thomas S. Gladding, accompa- 
nied by Mrs. Gladding, started on 
Jan. 17 from Easton, Maryland, on 
his third motor tour across the con- 
tinent, going by the southern route, 
or so-called Spanish Trail, to San 
Diego, whence he will return by 
steamship via the Panama Canal. 
His first motor tour was in 1914 
from San Francisco to New York, a 
charming description of which by 
Mrs. Gladding, illustrated with pic- 
tures taken by Mr. Gladding, has 
been published in "Across the Conti- 
nent By the Lincoln Highway." In 
1 92 1 he made his second motor trip 
from New. York to Seattle, going by 
the northern route. Gladding has 
spent six years of the last fifteen 
years in travel — a University Exten- 
sion Course, he calls it — once mak- 
ing a complete circuit of the globe, 
and again spending three years in a 
motor tour of the different countrie'^ 
of Europe. 

1878 
After forty years of service with 
the Providence public schools and 
since 1913 superintendent of schools, 
Isaac O. Winslow will soon retire 
with the title of Superintendent 
Emeritus. This new title is to be- 
come effective "from and after the 
' time when his successor as Superin- 
tendent shall have been elected and 
shall have assumed office." The res- 
olution adopted by the School Com- 
mittee on Jan. 14, 1929, cited Wins- 
low for his "earnest devotion to the 
cause of education, marked attributes 
of leadership and sterling qualities 
of manhood," and added that he "has 
won for himself a place of esteem in 
the hearts of all his associates and a 
place of honor both at home and 
abroad."

For a year after graduation he acted 
as a private tutor. Then newspaper 
work, which had been a hobby of his 
in college, attracted him and he be- 
came a special correspondent for the 
Providence Journal. He also did 
work for Newport newspapers. Af- 
ter six years on this assignment he 
came to Providence to act as news 
editor of the Journal, a position 
which he occupied for five years. In 
l8g6 he was promoted to city editor. 
He resigned from the Journal in 
1906 to go with the Providence 
Tribune, and to this newspaper he 
gave some of his most productive and 
exacting years. He left the Tribune 
ten years ago to join the staff of the 
Pawtucket Times as editor and chief 
editorial writer, and this biographer 
always read with interest and appre- 
ciation . his leaders on Rhode Island 
topics. He returned to Brown 
about eight years ago as an extension 
lecturer, and his course in journal- 
ism was one of the best offered to ex 
tension students. He put thought 
and experience and his quiet, persua- 
sive personality into it; he made it a 
real success. Thurston was married 
Feb. 2, 1902, to Miss May A. An- 
thony, who survives him, together 
with a brother, Benjamin F. Thurs- 
ton '80, editor of the Newport News. 
He was a member of the National 
Editorial Association, Rhode Island 
Press Club, Churchmen's Club, the 
Masons and the Royal Arcanum and 
Beta Theta Pi. Next to his news- 
paper work he found greatest inter- 
est in church affairs; and for some 
time he was an associate editor of 
the Diocesan Record of Rhode Lv 
land. During his years in Newport

of My Income 
Can I Lay Aside 
for Life Insurance ? 

CoTmcrete facts 
speak louder than words. 

Here is the actual pro- 
gram of a young man, 28, 
married, with two children. 
His income is $5,000 a year. 

The annual premiums 
amount to about $600, 
leaving a balance of $4,400 
for the support of his family, 
an easy proposition for 
ambitious young parents 
looking to the future. 

What does he get for his 
$600? 

An estate of $30,000, 
$5,000 to be paid in cash at 
his death, the rest held in 
trust to pay $ 1 00 a month to 
his widow during her life- 
time, the remaining prin- 
cipal to go to the children 
cifter her death.

Co. of Indiana and also because of 
the real estate transaction in New 
York by which he took title to prop- 
erty that will eventually be used as 
the site of the proposed Metropoli- 
tan Opera House. The millions in- 
volved in this transaction made even 
sophisticated New Yorkers marvel.

of first-rate mental ability, diligent 
in the exploration of facts, forceful 
in marshalling facts, sound and keen 
in drawing conclusions from facts

ther asserted that "the old-fashioned

Getting there ahead of the trouble 

An Advertisement of the 
American Telephone and Telegraph Company 



During the afternoon of March 17, 
1928, an alarm bell rang in a tele- 
phone test station in the heart of the 
Alleghany mountains. This meant that 
a puncture had been made in the air-tight 
sheath of a busy inter-city cable. The men on 
duty knew that the injury was somewhere 
within 50 miles. 

Highly-developed locating devices were in- 
stantly applied and in sixty-five minutes the 
trouble spot was located. By 7.15 in the eve- 
ning, before the break in the sheath had af- 
fected service on any of the 248 pairs of wires 
in the cable, the repairs had been made. Be- 
cause of the preliminary warning on the 
indicator wire and the locating devices that 
enabled the test station to tell the repair 
crew just where it would find the trouble, 




not one conversation was interrupted. 
This special alarm system is one of the 
many mechanical and electrical won- 
ders developed by Bell System engi- 
neers to guard telephone conversations. The 
apparatus is placed along the cable routes at 
intervals of 100 miles. It gives instant warn- 
ing day or night of any disturbance to the 
cable within 50 miles in either direction. 
Automatic warning signals, electrical locating 
devices, constant testing of all switch- 
board apparatus and circuits — these are some 
of the ceaseless eflForts that so effectually 
reduced interruptions to service on Bell 
lines in 1928. 

There is no standing still in the Bell System. 
Constant progress in accuracy and better and 
better service at the lowest cost is its goal.

series of talks on "The Hebrew 
Hymns" before the men's forum of 
the Niagara Falls Y. M. C. A. The

are fascinating. Among them we 
note "Lest We Forget," "Praise of 
God in Nature," "Psalms with Dra- 
matic Setting," "Acrostic Hymns," 
and "A Valued Hvmnal After 2500

Sam Steere, so we learn, spent the 
months of November and December 
in Alexandria, Egypt, and England. 
Sam made the trip on business for the

little sightseeing in between inter-

Carl Crummet is editor of the 
American Mutual Magazine, which, 
is published by the American Mutual

able controversy because the author 
was alleged to have erred in giving 
the number of players on a side in 
the first intercollegiate football con- 
test between Princeton and Rutgers.

'ogers, as the board numbers Albert 
H. Poland and Henry S. Chafee 
among its trustees. 

Frank Wightman's present address 
is 520 High St., West Medford, 
Mass. 

One of the late Bob Sullivan's 
military friends has asked us to say 
that it was the 13th Field Artillery, 
Fourth Division, A. E. F., with 
which Bob was a captain during the 
World War. Bob often told me of 
his chief. Colonel Wright Smith, 
now dead, who was also my old 
friend," says our correspondent. We 
regret the error of writing 113th F. 
A. Incidentally, Bob's will was one 
of the shortest ever filed in Provi- 
dnce. He left his property to his 
"beloved wife, Marie C. Sullivan." 

1910 

Albert N. Peterson has been 
elected secretary of the Providence 
Budget Commission which has al- 
ready begun the work of studying 
the finances of the city. "Pete" has 
been practicing law since his return 
from the World War. Between 
1923 and 1926 he was Assistant 
L'nited States District Attorney for 
Rhode Island ; and since he was dis- 
charged from the Army he has kept 
up his interest in military affairs, be- 
ing at present a First Lieutenant, 
302nd Field Artillery, Officers' Re- 
serve Corps. Members of the Bud- 
get Commission include Henry D.

1911 
Charlie Sisson, Attorney General 
of Rhode Island, girded up his loins 
last month and invaded Boston to 
tell the judiciary committee of the 
Massachusetts Legislature that he 
didn't believe in capital punishment 
as a crime preventive. "I would ra- 
ther see 99 murderers escape the 
death penalty than to have one inno- 
cent man executed," he asserted. 
Rhode Island abolished the death 
penalty years ago. An effort is now 
beiag made to revive it, but the pro- 
poni-nts will certainly have Charlie 
to bowl over before they succeed. 

1912 

Stanley Marsh is an undergradu- 
ate again. Stanley has come back to 
the campus to follow certain courses 
of study in economics and English 
and he says that he knows he will 
like the work as soon as he gets accli- 
mated. We admire him for his 
courage; we'll cheer him when he 
takes his degree next June. 

John T. Winterich, so the liter- 
ary news says, will have another 
book on book collecting published 
this spring. This will be the third 
volume that John has written on the 
subject. His first one, "A Primer of 
Book Collecting," is to our way of 
thinking the best of its kind by an 
American author.

warming party at their new home on 
Sellemere avenue, Pawtucket, by a

George Boas of the Faculty of the 
Johns Hopkins University, who has 
written articles and short stories for 
the magazines for some years, has 
blossomed out as a full-fledged au- 
thor. His book is "Never Go 
Back," and they tell us that it's a 
mighty promising story. 

"The size and beauty of the new 
Temple Emanu-el in San Francisco 
is an index of the culture, intelligence 
and wealth of the Jewish people in 
that city," said a writer in a recent 
issue of The Christian Century. 
"Eleven hundred families, or about 
5,000 individuals, comprise the mem- 
bership of this synagogue. Dr. Louis 
I. Newman, rabbi of the congrega- 
tion, is a graduate of Brown Univer- 
sity and is one of the most influential 
among the young religious leaders on 
the Pacific coast. He is a fine rep- 
resentative of reformed Judaism. 
He speaks over the radio every Sun- 
day evening and is much sought after 
as a speaker by forums, clubs and lib- 
eral churches."

time ago from Ernest Halliwell 
member of the advertising firm of 
Mason & Halliwell, 91 SouthlVIain 
St., Fall River, Mass. The last par 
agraph we quote with delight: 
''Last September (the very first day 
to be exact) there was added to my

1920 

Anyone in the class know anything 
about Malcolm C. Brown? His 
last address was 20 Lefierts place, 
Brooklyn, N. Y. Information about 
him would be appreciated by the 
Alumni Office. 

We saw Bill Rooney at the Brown 
dinner in New York and Bill agreed 
with us that there should be more 
1920 news in the Alumni Monthl\. 
Jim Dealey, the Class Secretary, has 
his mail addressed to Western Re- 
serve L^niversity, Political Science

them at once to the Alumni ()ffice 
on College Hill. 

1921

emy, Church Point, La.

city high school who, he hoped,

change of telephone number (was it 
lack of payment or annoyance by 
feminine admirers?), and anything

is the time, then, to give "Bub " some 
actual work to do to let him prove 
that as a secretary he is ali\e and on 
the job. 

Fret MacDonald has been re-el

''That is the name that goes with one 
of the new voices transmitted by

The reporter described Frank's ca 
reer at Brown and added: "Frank 
Singiser is also trying a hand at con- 
tinuity writing, and WGY's new fea-

Johnny Hamilton, writing from 
Los Angeles a month ago, said : 
"Cowboy (Mann) and I have been 
having the time of our lives out here, 
although in a business way we have 
only had about the usual 'first year' 
success. I had a lucrative position 
in the movies, but the studio closed 
up and left me very, very free to look 
around and realize my great ambi- 
tion to start in advertising. Just 
now I'm synopsizing novels for the 
scenario department of the Pathe 
Studio . . . but my chief interest 
is getting a start i;i advertising, so 
that I shouldn't mind going any- 
where, north, east, west or south, if 
I could find some sort of opening" 
Johnny and Cowboy sent their best 
to all the boys. 

Jack Drysdale was an Alumn

Pembroke College Undergraduate 

Activities 



"^TOW that examinations are over. 
Prom is the biggest thing 
looming on the horizon. The Jun- 
iors are frantically trying to raise 
enough money for the "biggest and 
best." Two groups have held suc- 
cessful Bridges in the Crystal Room 
and the "Junior Frolique" on Fri- 
day, February 15, one of the few in- 
formal All-College dances, was well 
attended. 

An innovation was the concert 
held by the combined Musical Clubs 



of Brown and Pembroke. Tiie affair 
occurred in Alumnae Hall on Janu- 
ary 17, and was followed by danc- 
ing. Gene Ware coached both the 
men and women and they gave a 
well-rounded and diversified pro- 
gram. There were certain specialty 
numbers, but perhaps the most un- 
usual was a surprise whistling solo 
by Dorothy Miller 30. 

Although at present Masque is 
completely eclipsed by Prom, the 
Sophomores have been laying plans 




A Good Morning Cup —

and electing conimittees. Eleanor 
Demarest is Masque chairman, with 
Myrtle Ryder, Alice Stewart, Edith 
Kenny and Muriel Barnes making 
up the rest of the important com 
mittee. 

The first debate of the season was 
held in Alumnae Hall on Friday, 
January 11. The subject was "Re- 
solved, that the jury system be abol- 
ished," Rboile Islaml State uphold- 
ing the affirmative from Pembroke. 
Miss Eva Mooar, head of the Per- 
sonnel Department, presided. 

A most interesting event was the 
second Kaffee Klotsch of the year 
held by the (jerman Club in Mars 
ton Hall on the afternoon of Janu- 
ary II. The rule restricting all 
speech to German was enjoyably 
amusing and strictly adhered to. 

An interesting experiment spon- 
sored by S. G. A. is a series of Fac- 
ulty-Student teas. The one on Janu- 
ary i<S was given by the Freshmen in 
order to become better acquainted 
with their instructors and professors. 
Miss Mooar and Miss Wilder 
poured. 

Also on January 18 was the an- 
nual Sharpe House dance. This was 
held in Aliminae Hall with Miss 
Boyd catering. Music was furnished 
by the Campus Crooners, while Miss 
Vinton and Professor and Mrs. Hig- 
gins acted as chaperones. 

Lest some of the alumnae forget 
that Pembroke is growing, we ma>' 
mention that two members of the 
Junior class, Josephine Debly and 
Vivian Leighton, arc spending their 
Junior year at tlie Sorbonne in 
Paris. 

( )n January 12, Andres Legoire, 
the Spanish guitarist, played to a 
large and appreciative audience in 
Alumnae Hall. Although to most 
of us giutars usually mean balcoiues 
and serenades, Legoire proved that 
Bach, Handel and Haydn can be 
wortliily interpreted through the me- 
dium of tlie instrument which he 
handles with so much mastery. 

Pembroke news would not be 
complete if we failed to mention that 
Miss Morriss left us for Europe and 
Africa on February 28. Miss Mooar, 
who is to be acting Dean in her ab- 
sence, greeted us in chapel on Febru-

ary I2. We all feel as tliough ^L■ss

ties as Dean.

WILL THE COLLEGE GATES 

BE CLOSED 

TO YOUR CHILD BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT 

MADE THE NECESSARY PREPARATIONS 

IN ADVANCE 



It has a harsh sound to even suggest that tlie college yate may 
be closed to your child, for the gateways to Icaniinir are always open. 

Many thousands of boys and girls, liowever, have found that al- 
though the college gates are open, they could not enter them. 

These youths may have been prejjared. but their ]>arents were 
not. These young students were looking forward to higher fields of 
learning, but their parents had failed to make sufficient i)ro\ isions in 
advance. 

Of course every boy and girl is not going to college and every 
parent cannot afford to send his children to college. 

If you are one of those who plans to give your child the advan- 
tages of a college education, the ((uestion is simply this. 

W/ien your child is ready for College, will you be ready, too? 

Our Childs Educational Fund affords you the 
simplest, the most complete, and the most posi- 
tive means of providing the necessary funds for 
your child's education.
