XXXVIIl NUMBER 7 ► ► Awaiting the Advisory Council ► ► All'MXI representatives from all Brown University eentres in the eountr^- are on their way to Providenee this week tor sessions of the Advisory Council of the Associated Alumni which both University and alumni officers regard as one of the most momentous ever held. The annual con- gress of alumni leaders comes soon after the anniversary of Dr. Wnston's induction as president of Brown and will give particular attention to new policies and hopes based in the new administration. "I cannot urge too strongly your attendance at this meeting." Sidney Clifford "H wrote to Presidents of the Brown Clubs and members of the Advisor>' Council in summoning the assembly. "During the past year President Wriston has indicated in a general way the course which Brown is to take under his leadership, and forces have already been set in motion to accomplish some of his aims and purposes. Furthermore it is most desirable that the alumni and the adiiiiiiistration always understand each other regarding the part ti^ he pLu'cd by each in the future pro- gram of Brown. The annual meeting of the Advisory Counci' isan excellent means to that end.' ► On the program that has been drawn up for the delegates in- spiration, information, and en- tertainment all have their place, and again the Brunonians frt)m out of town will enjoy the hos- pitality of the University and the Providence Brown Club dur- ing their stay in Providenee. Ses- sions will be held Friday night, February' 11, and the following day, and arrangements have been made for attendance at varsity athletic events to be held in Prov- idence the same week-end. The Advisor^' Council consists of several groups : 1 , The Pres- ident of each Brown Club or a representative duK' .ippointe^l hv him. (Each club with ,i inenihcr- ship of more than "^0 is entitled to an additional delegate, ap- pointed as the club chooses.) 2. The officers of the Associated Alumni and members of the Board of Directors. .^. All Alumni Trustees of the Brown Corporation. 4. Others invited by the Advisor>' Council, the Board of Directors, or the E.xecu- tive Committee. Tht' Advisory Council Prot!r^ Council is set forth in an interesting section of the by-laws of the Associated Alumni which sees through the mechanics of organization to the spirit and purpose originally envisioned for it: "It shall be the primary duty of the Advisory Council to further the interests of the University and of the Alumni and former students. To this end it shall con- sult with the officers of the Uni- \crsity and the Members of the Associated Alumni. It shall gather such information, make such recommendations, and take such action as shall best serve to discharge its primary purpose. It may appoint such committees as It may from time to time desire lor the purpose of investigation, conference or any other reason." Principal speaker on the first evening will be the newly elected Secretary of the Corporation, Allx-rt L. Scott '00, president of Lockwood, Greene Engineers, Inc., since 1928. This loyal Brown man and father of Brown men is known as a stimulating speaker, and the occasion will be his first public address since as- suming his responsible post for the University'. ► The program on Friday, Feb- ruary 11, will begin at 5:H in the afternoon when the Board of Directors of the Associated Alumni hold their annual meet- ing in the Faunce House Lounge. Among their items of business is a formal consideration of acts by the Executive Committee dur- ing the past 12 months. From 5 :.iO to 6 an informal reception BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY will he held upstairs in the Faunce Memorial Room and in the Alumni Office. The hospitality committee will make its contacts with visitiiii^ alumni at this time, too. The program ]iroper will be inautjurated at 6 o'clock when members of the Advisory Council sit down at dinner in the Art Gallery of Faunce House as guests of the Uni- versit>'. Mr. Clifford will present the Secretary of the Cor- poration for what may well prove to be the "keynote" speech of the week-end. The dinner will be adjourned promptly at S o'clock, and a bus and other automobiles will Icive shortK- for the Rhode Island Auditorium where the Bn.wn varsity is to meet Colb>- in .i liockes' t^anie that pmnuses to be fast, and the Bruonians hope to turn the tables on the Maine team this year after an unexpected dcfc.it by .i well trained, w^ell- handled squad of only player. w :hing this game as guests of the Athletic Department, the alumni will sit in a section ot seats speciall>' reserved tor them. For those who prefer it, the French pLiys to be given m Faunce House Theatre that night by the French Clubs of Brown and the Alliance Frani^aise will he open to the delegates. ► CoNVENiNO again the next morning in Faunce House Art ( '.allery, the Council will hear President Wnston imme- diately in a talk which the alumni anticipate. After a year of observation and study, he is expected to be ready to speak his mind on alumni opportunities and responsibilities in the Brown scheme of things. A year ago, Dr. Wriston was occupied with getting acquainted with alumni problems and activities; this year he may be ready to interpret his hopes in this field. Although they are listed on the program as "reports," Mr. Clifford and Alfred H. Gurney ^07, president and secretary of the Associated Alumni will not he rendering any perfunctory accounting. They will survey the alumni year with a swift indicating of major happenings. Mr. Gurney will speak of matters that more directly concern the Alumni OSicc and the associated Brown Clubs, while Mr. Clifford has in mind such projects as the Alumni Co- operative Admissions Program, Liaison, Fraternity Rela- tionship, Yachting, Alumni Fund, Brown Plates, Alumni Day, the Alumni Monthly, Class Reunions and the Integrated Commencement. On these provocative topics there will be ample opportunity for discussion on the floor, and the delegates are asked to bring their problems and ideas with them. With two vacancies in the ranks of Alumni Trustees imminent, the Council will nominate candidates whose names will appear on ballots for election before June. One man will succeed Henry R, Palmer "90, of Providence and Stonington, whose si,\ ycir term as a Congregational Trus- tee expires soon A -.cond Trustee will replace Dr \V . Randolph Burgess "12 of New York, who has been elev.ited to the Board of Fellows. There is no denominational re- quirement as to his successor. ► After luncheon in the private dining moms of Faunce House as guests of the A^soci.ited Alumni, the delegates will assemble again in the Art (.;aller>- for an(.>ther signifi- cant session. Headliner of the .il ternoon is Vice President James P. Adams, who promises an unusual reportonal ex- periment announced as "The March of Time at Brown." Probably in no other period of its history have there been so many changes on the campus and in undergraduate life as in recent years, and Dr. Adams can be relied on to describe these vividly. Since President Clifford's general report in the morning was designed to be an inclusive survey of alumni activities, afternoon discussions will he directed to special phases related to "Brown Resources," including financial resources, man power, loyalty, and good will. A conference on athletics at Brown will he headed by Dean Samuel T. Arnold, chairman of the Athletic Council. This is the final listiiii; on the agenda. While no formal arrangements li.ivc been made for dinner Saturda\-. the fratcnutic- on the Hill are inviting their alumni to dine with them, and other alumni will fie welcome in the cafeteria or the Pine Room of Faunce House. Two events will vie for interest in the evening, one in the Colgate Hoyt Pool where the strong Brown varsity and freshman swimming teams will meet with threatening foes from Springfield. The other evening feature is the regular Saturday night movie show in Faunce House Theatre where undergraduate audiences have their own way of enjoying the outstanding hlni< The picture has been announced as "Mary of Scotland." If arrangements are completed, there will also be a special .ilumni broadcast by the Brown Campus Network. The committee which planned the Advisory' Council program included: W. Chesley Worthington "23, chair- man, Mr. Clifford, "Vice President Adams, Ralph A. Arm- strong "17, Theodore R. Jeffers '2?, and Mr. Gurney. !\uniber One Subscriber ► Number one subscriber on the rolls of the Brown- Alumni Monthly would seem to be that loval graduate of the class of 1899, Mellinger E. Henry of Ridgetield, N. J. With a single exception, he has a complete tile of the maga- zine since it started in 1900 and has had half the volumes bound. The one missing copy is Number "^ in Volume ?2, December, 19.32. Mr. Henry retired from his teaching work last June after 26 years on the faculty Dickinson High School in Jersey City, N. J. At that time The DK^msoman gave him a fine tribute and predicted that he would devote his extra leisure to his present hobbies: collecting hooks and publishing bal- lads, climbing mountains, and caring for a garden. He has traveled extensively in the Southern States, in quest of the folk music on which he and his wife are authorities. Dr. Henry W. Shoemaker, president of the Altoona Tribune, wrote last August in his column, "This Morning's Comment." that Pennsylvania, Mr. Henry's native State, seemed likely to gain by his retirement from teaching in Jersey. He referred glowingly to Mr. Henry's position as sympathetic interpreter of the mountain regions and said: "Now there is talk of naming a Southern mountain after Mr. Henry among the dozen unnamed peaks located by the WPA survey crews. Mt. Henry in the Great Smokies will take Its name from a worthy man, a son of our own Fayette county mountains where are a half a dozen un-named peaks over 3000 feet high, so why not have a 'Mount Henry' close to home, too? . . . Central Pennsylvania rejoices in the return of an illustrious and useful son." i i Insurance Men Listened ► Burton S. Fl.agg "96 recently addressed the National Convention of Insurance Companies at Grand Rapids, Mich. He is a former chairman of Commissioners of the American Mutual Alliance which embraces in its member- ship the leading fire, casualty and automobile mutual insur- ance companies of the United States. He is also a past pres- ident of the National Association of Mutual Fire Insurance Companies, i BROWN ALIMNI MONTHLY ► ► For University HaU, a $100,000 Gift ► ► Restoration oi' University's Hall, Brown's first building and strongest centre of sentimental affection, is foretold in the announcement of a $inn,nnf) aift to assist that purpu>c. The donor remains anoinnn m- .it his wish. When President Henry M. Wnstoii u.ixe the news to the public on February 3, the first anniversary ut his installa- tion at Brown, he pointed out that additional funds will be necessary to meet the entire cost of the restoration as it has been projected. Work will begin as soon as such additional funds are available. Dr. Wriston made the following comment as he an- nounced the $100,000 donation to Bn.wn: "This generous gift comes to the University from a friend whose interest is in the pre--erv,itiiin i)t the fabric of this historic edifice and the restoration of its interior in keeping with the Coloni.il traditions of the University of which It IS a signifieant p.irt. "The Advisory and E.xecutive Committee of the Cor- poration has accepted this gift for this purpose and has authon-ed the seeking of the additional funds which will be necessary if the project is to he carried out with a view to permanence and in a manner which will meet the ex- pectations of all of the friends of the University and of the succeeding generations of Brown men for whom it will be the center of the life of the campus. ► "Uni\'ER,sity Hall is one of the choicest material pos- sessions of the University and of the community in which It resides. A building of great divinity and charm, it is a beautiful architectural expression of the time and of the eoliinial environment in which it was built. It is one of ven,- tew buildings m America used for educational pur- poses which were erected before the American Revolution and which have survived. "It was erected as the College Edifice on a "hill high above the river' when the College was moved to Providence from W^irren in 1770. For fifty-two years until Hope College was built in 1 82 2 it was the only academic building on the campus. For one hundred and sixty-eight years the life of the College has surged withm and about it. For this same period it has Kxiked out upon the town ,ind city of Providence. Dunnt; the vears which have intervened since University Hall was first' built on College Hill, it has seen the Decl.ir.ition of Independence, the American Revolu- tion, ,ind the beginnings of national lii'c. It has seen the Colon)- of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations emerge from Its Colonial allegiance to Great Britain and become one of the original of the United States and the town of Providence become the urban centre of an important metropolitan area. "During all these years University Hall and the hill on which it is located have been closely associated with the growth and the developing character of the City and State. During the past seventy-five years the people of the City have looked up the hill from Market Square to see this splendid architectural reminder of the dignity, the sturdi- ncss. and the simplicity of American colonial life. "It is our plan to reconstruct the interior so that it will again be in form what it is in spirit, an expression of the traditions and ideals of the University' and the heart and center of its life. I am sure that all the friends of Brown in this community- and in ,ill parts of the country' will join in expiYssint; our pri>found gratification that this project has been gi\en so sianitie.int an impetus by this generous gift. It IS our hope that other gifts will make it possible to proceed in accordance with our plans." 4 4 < ► ► Two further gifts, one of $^0,000 for use in connec- tion with the new infirmar)', and another of $10,000 for scholarship purposes, have been received by the Univer- sity Pi evident Henry M Wriston announced last month.

"This generous gift comes at a most appropriate time, because of its relationship to the plans which we are making 189 BROWN ALUM.M MONTHLY tor Andrews House. It will help to provide infirmary facil- ities of the quality whieh Dr. H.ire had m mind for the students n, the University when he made the generous ijitt w^hich was announced at Commencement last June. The new gift IS gratefully received and will he effectively em- ployed as a distinctive addition to the facilities of Andrews House," Dr. Wriston added. Mrs. Warren, who has given the University $10,000, is the widow of the late George Eddy Warren, '89, prom- inent m coal mining and shipping interests before his death on May 11, 19 }C In accordance with Mrs. Warren's wishes, the gift will be used to tstahlish the George Eddy Warren Scholarship Fund in memory of her late husband. The income from this fund IS to he ,iw,irded annually to an undergraduate at Brown. ""This generous gift is a distinctive addition to our endowed scholarships," said Dr. Wriston, "and it is with pleasure that, through this fund, we associate the name of a loyal and devoted son of Brown with the work and welfare of the undergraduates ot Brown University to whom this scholarship will be awarded." In iy2cS, Mr. Warren provided and furnished a Brown University room m the American Dormitory at the Cite Universitaire in Paris, which was built to house advanced American students at the French university. He was active in Brown Club affairs in Boston. Four years ago he was honored with the iippointment of chiei marshal for the annual Commencement procession. At the time of Mr. Warren's death, he left a bequest of $10,000 m his will which has has since come to the University. < < < Delivery of the Hroivn Plates ► Five hundred subscribers to the first edition of the Brown University Plates by Wedgwood have been receiv- ing delivery of their orders since the last week in January, and comments on the attr.ietiveness of the plates have been favorable ,inel lie.irteniii'.; t^ the committee.

Brown Street as a new infirmary for the College and Graduate School, President Henry M. Wriston announced last month. The step, he said, would provide the University with what he said will be ""one of the finest and most com- pletely equipped college infirmaries in the country." The ivy-covered mansion, bought by the University in 1922 and used .u tlie F.ieulty Club since that time, will be re-named "Andrews House"' in memory of Elisha Benjamin Andrews, eighth president of Brown, who served from 1889 until IS98. He was one of the most colorful and popular figures in Brown's history. ""The assignment of this propert\- and its remodeling m the interior for use as Andrews House, and the eventu.il endowment of its operation and maintenance has been made possible by the generous Ljift ot Dr Charle-; Henry Hare of Boston, a member of the el.iss of l.SSi,"' President Wriston said. Dr. Hare's gift w,is announced last June. At that time he suggested that the new infirmary bear President Andrews" name. President Wriston also announced that the University has purchased the spacious Zachariah Allen house at 1 Magee Street, recently owned and occupied by William Ely, as a new faculty club. Alterations and improvements will be made to adapt the house for club purposes. It is at the corner of Magee and Benevolent Streets. Remodeling of the present Faculty Club into an infirmary, and work on the new Magee Street Club will begin after commencement this June. The new Faculty Club will be ready this Fall. Andrews House will be finished sometime during the coming academic year. ► The infirmary will be the third building project launched at Brown withm a year's time. Work began last month on a new chemical research laboratory, made possible by a $■) 00,000 gift from former United States Senator Jesse H. Metcalf. Gifts of more than $10,000 for the yachting pro- gram from alumni and others are being used to renovate the Narragansett Boat Club on the Seekonk River, to be known now as the Brown University Boat Club. Andrews House will provide "much larger" accommod.i- tions and ""more adequate" facilities than Brown now has in its infirmary at 10 Manning Street, There will be offices for the Division of University He.tlth, a large waiting room for students, several medical consultation rooms, an X-ray room, a physiotherapy room and a laboratory. The plans call for a group of single bed, two-bed and four- bed rooms. There will be a sun-room, a library-lounge, a dining room, a diet kitchen, living quarters for the matron and nurses, and other rooms for .luxiliary purposes. A building committee of Dean Samuel T. Arnold, chair- man; President Wriston, and Paul C. DeWolf of the Board of Trustees, has been appointed. Members of the Division of University Health, Dr. Alexander M. Burgess, Dr. Wil- fred Pickles and Dr. Charles A. McDonald, will assist the committee as consultants. Ellsworth S. Woodward, assistant superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, will work in cooperation with the committee. ► President Wriston, in making the announcement, said : "When the remodeling of the Faculty Club is complete and it is turned over to the Division of University Health for use as Andrews House, it will constitute one of the finest BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY THE AU'HA TAl OMEC I IIOl SE: lis ,l„ors Ikiip riosrfl lolloirinn tlir tlixsithilion of llw lirowii rhnplrr.

"Since the abandonment of Andrews Field as the athletic field at Brown, there has been no physical structure or edu- cational facility at the University bearing the name of our eighth president, who played so large a part in the life of the University before the turn of the century. "Zachan.ih Allen, whose house will now be used for the Faculty Club, was a graduate of Brown in the Class of 181.1. He received the honorary degree of LL.D in 18^1. He served as a member of the Board of Trustees from 1826 until his death in 1882, one of the longest terms in the history of the University. Faculty Club will take place after the close of the present academic year in June. When Dr. Hare's gift was announced on commencement day last June, Vice-President James P. Adams, speaking at the annual .ikimni meeting, said: "Oi H.irc - acti. '11 has been a source of great satisfaction u> the Corpor.itiiin of the University. It will be received with cnthuM,i>tic .ippreciation by members of the faculty and b>- >tudentf . And I am sure that it will reverberate in the hearts and minds of alumni as a generous manifestation of an abiding interest and devotion on the part of one who has been (or ^'fi years a loyal son of Brown. And this gift for this purpo,-c ,-eems to us, as it will seem to you, a beautiful c\prc,-~si. in lit the spirit of one whose office in life was the practice ut medicine and who performed it with "usefulness The present Faculty Club on Brown Street was built by Alfred M. Coats. Rhode Island textile manufacturer. Dur- ing the World War administration of the late Governor R. Livingston Beekman of Rhode Island, the spacious residence was used as the governor's mansion. 14^ Stcicnrds of Broun Yachting ► ► Ax Advisory Board to conduct the yachting program ,it Brown I'niversity was set up last iiumth as the result of Corp.iration action turthering plans for this activity for the undergraduates. The program will center in the boat house property on the Seekonk river acquired last spring with funds provided by the Class of 1907 and other friends of the University. The building is undergoing extensive renovation this winter in preparation for the resumption of the new dinghy season. The Nautical Advisory Board is designated as a stand- ing committee of the Corporation, acting for the Uni- versity Administration which has general responsibility for the use and occupancy of the boat house and the direction of the undergraduate extra-curricular yachting activity. The membership of the Advisory Board is to consist of the Dean of the College (ex officio or his representative), the Comptroller, ex officio, and six other persons appointed by the Corporation or its Advisory and Executive Com- mittee, including a member of the Corporation, a member of the Faculty, and four alumni, of whom two shall be members of the Class of 1907. As named, the board is as follows: Comptroller Edson R. Rand: Dean Edgar J. Lanpher, representing the Dean of the College: Professor Zenas R. Bliss and A. Chester Snow "07, for a term of three years; Robert B. Jones "07 and J. Richmond Fales '10, for a term of two years; Ralph M. Palmer "10, Alumni Trustee, and H.

During the past 10 years, it has operated an Infirm- ary at 10 Manning Street. Although this building has been inadequate in si;e and we have been hanjicippcd b\ the lack of adequate facilities, the Division ot I 'ni\i r-u\ Hcilth has developed and maint, lined one ot the most effective health scrvk^- ior l->.)KiLRs ot the Bnnvii Bear, waitiiiii for their first ,t;hiiipse thi~ winter nt >\\imiiierf and traek athletes, saw them pertonn impressively m their January enijage- ments. While the tank squad bowed before Harvard, prob- ably the t te.uii in the East, they had reason to be optimistie over the season on the basis of their showing in Cambridge ,ind in their previous victory in Syracuse. Track followers saw in Ken Clapp, Sophomore sprinter, one of the most promising youngsters in Brown colors in recent years, star in the Prout games in Boston, named for a Brown alumnus. Having won his trial heats in the i 0-yard dash in the fast time of "1.6 seconds, Clapp almost offered an upset in the final, only to suffer a slight '"pull" at the tape that made him falter just enough to yield first place to Ben Johnson of Columbia, triple champion of the I. C. A. A. A. A. Photos of the finish show Clapp holding onto his legs at the crucial moment. Even so, he beat last year's winner, Marty Glickman of Syracuse, OK'mpic sprinter, Burlin- game of Yale, and Larry Scanlon ot" Holy Cross, two-time winner of the New England Intercollegiate sprints. Singsen of Brown was third in his hurdle heat behind "Specs" Towns, Georgia's Olympic titlist. In the relays, the Varsity mile quartet trounced Bates with 18 yards to spare and turned in a time of ?:32.4 without the benefit of pushing. Finklestein, Syren, Klie, and Constable ran in that order. The second 'Varsity relay team of Lane, Winterrowd, Ohlin, and Holswade was a good third behind Holy Cross and Boston College in its heat of another mile. The Freshmen were fourth in com- petition with other New England first-year runners. ► Without points in the relays. Brown nevertheless won more or less as she pleased in the Syracuse tank. Outstanding was the backstroking of Wilcox, who swam the 150 yards in 1:42.7, supplanting the former New England Inter- collegiate record of White, another Brunonian, who had held It since 19.M. Wilcox's time was a second and a half faster. The Brown specialists had knocked off 3.4 seconds from the old New England mark in the 300 medley relay only to encounter disqualification at the hands of an official who was not used to the new butterfly stroke in the breast- stroke leg. He ruled Soltysiak's kick illegal and awarded the points to Syracuse. Wilcox and Judd, free-style star, were his team-mates. Saving some of its strength for the Harvard meet a few days later, the Brown squad managed to finish one-two in four events: Forbes and Porritt in the 220, Green and Judd in the 100, Wilcox and DuComb in the backstroke, and McCuUough and Soltysiak in the breast- stroke. The final score was 41-35. But at Cambridge Coach Barry's men had sterner com- petition in the Harvard team that last year broke Yale's long-lasting supremacy in intercollegiate swimming. Two Olympic swimmers aided the Crimson ^8-17 victory. Soltysiak was Brown's only man in a first place, capturing the 200-yard breaststroke event in 2:31 after taking third in the short freestyle sprint. George was second in the 1 00 behind Olympian Hutter, while Wilcox and DuComb were second and third in the backstroke. The Freshmen opened their season by trailing the Harvard first-year swimmers 45-30, although they took four firsts. Schaper, who also won the 50 in 24.6, had a record of 54.5 in leading the 100-yard entries, the latter time being faster than Hutter's in the Varsity meet. Drennan won the breaststroke and Gibbons the 440, but the meet was decided in the loss of both relays. ► In its best showing of the year, the basketball five turned in a surprise victory over a powerful Tufts team in Providence 61-46. The visitors had lost only one game previously and had beaten the front-rank Boston University five. But they trailed Brown after the first five minutes in a spectacular game, marked by the stalwart guarding of Truman and Glatfelter and the high scoring of Piatt and Campbell. At the five-minute mark Tufts had an 11-6 margin, only to see the Bruin sink 16 uninterrupted points and hold their advantage despite several threatening rallies, three of which came within a point of tying the game up. The Brown offence, built about the accurate Sophomore Harry' Piatt, is also abetted by Campbell. Against the Medford team they scored 28 and 22 respect- ively. In almost all games Piatt has pushed his total up to 20, and nearly tied the national record of 50 against North- eastern. He was a factor in an amazing Brunonian rally at West Point when the squad left the floor at half- time badly whipped at 25-2. But Piatt caged 25 points and Campbell 1 1 in a second-half total of 40 points that made the showing a more respectable 5 6-42 defeat. Held to a single field goal in the first half of the game against Rhode Island, Piatt returned to boost his total to 20. But State ran up the highest total of any previous meeting with Brown, winning 80-49 in a contest that drew a capacity crowd at Kingston, some spectators having taken their places at 5 o'clock for an evening game and scores being turned away. Captain Sharkey's sudden ineligibility weakened the Brown defense markedly. Rhode Island has lost only to B. U., whom Tufts defeated. Redeeming factor at Kingston was the victory of a Freshman team that has lost only one game so far in keen competition. Pearson, a star all season, has been joined by Padden to make a high-scoring combination. Between them they accounted for 45 of the Brown points in the 56-47 game. They outscored the Tufts forwards, with Wilson, guard, also pushing the margin up to 59-21. Pre- viously undefeated, Br>'ant College was a stubborn foe and was only 28-26 behind until the last five minutes when a Brown spurt widened the margin to 39-27. (Continued on page ]97) Football Staff Kept Intact ► Brow'x will operate with the same group of varsity football coaches that worked last fall. Dr. Frederick W. Marvel, Director of Athletics, announced last month. De Ormond "Tuss" McLaughry, previously announced as head coach, will have the same three assistants: Denny E. Myers, line coach; Jerry Dalrj'mple, end coach; and George E. "Eck" Allen, backfield. No announcement was made on length of contracts of the assistants. Myers and Dalrymple will work during the spring practice ;ind the fall campaign. Allen, who is engaged as freshman basketball coach now, will be retained next year as an assistant in some freshman sport and intra-mural work. Allen will direct the backs during the spring work. The signing of the three assistants who aided Head Coach McLaughry in the 1937 campaign continues intact the 192 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY coaching staff of last year, comprising graduates of the University of Iowa, West Virginia and Tulane under the direction of a Westminster College graduate. Myers came to Brown after coaching experience at Yale and West Virginia. He is a graduate of the University of Iowa and coached at University of West Virginia where he worked under Earl "Greasy"" Neale. Dalrymple, All American end at Tulane, came to Brown after coaching experience in the Southwest and a year of graduate study at Louisiana State University, Allen, a University of West Virginia graduate who played football under Neale and Myers, came to Brown from Parkershurg, W. Va., high school, where he coached all sports. Next season will he Myers" third year at Brown, while Allen and Dalrymple will he serving m their second season here. All three of the men are in Providence now, Myers having recently returned from a visit m Ohio. i < ► ► A Western Need and a Friend ► ► A certain summer conversation in the Colorado mountains had reached the point where the two men were swapping biographies, and one of them had just remarked proudly that he was a graduate of Brown University. "Is that so?" said the second chap. "'I went to college in the East myself."" "Where?"" "Nebraska."' It"s all a relative matter, this East and West of ours, as a notable gift to the John Hay Library last month emphasized. Contrary to popular belief the term "Western Aineri- cana'" does not refer merely to books dealing with the Far West. The term "West"' is a rcl.itivc one and its precise connotation has varied from time to time. Theo- dore Roosevelt wrote The 'Winning of tlic W'e.st, but his "West"' was that between the Alleghanies and the Missis- sippi. To Frederick Jackson Turner, the historian of the frontier, the "West" meant the entire region beyond the Appalachian barrier. Western Americana, therefore, in- cludes the large body of material relating to the settlement and development of that vast area. Americana of this older West is naturally abundant and with this lore, both original and secondary, the John Hay Library is well supplied. Its collections dealing with the Old Northwest and the older Southwest are especially strong. On the Trans-Mississippi "West the resources of the Library are somewhat less extensive. It has the great source collections such as Thwaite's Early "Western Travels, journals of fur traders and explorers, H. H, Bancroft's great series on the Pacific Slope, and a vast body of source materials made available through the publications of State Historical Societies. Students of Indian history and eth- nology will find it exceptionally well equipped. Few are the secondary works dealing with the general history of the Far West which the Library does not have. Its greatest need is for additional materials illustrative of the State and local history of the Trans-Mississippi country. ► Last month that need was met in no small measure through the generosity of Mr. Frederick S. Peck. Rhode Island connoisseur whose collection of p.untinus, auto- graphs, and books is one of the most important m this country. Mr. Peck gave to the Brown University Library some 600 titles, dealing largely with aspects of Far Western history of the sort mentioned. Here are pages from the romantic era, fillips for the imagination yet in such containers as the historian fact- seeker can respect. For example, there is T. J. Farnham's "Life, Adventures, and Travels in California ... to which arc added the Conquest of California, Travels in Oregon, and History of the Gold Regions — the second and "pictorial"" edition of a popular work published in New York in 1849. Certainly it was timely enough to be popular. Another record tells of a curious expedition sent West — of all agencies — by the American Board of Commis- sioners, for Foreign Missions. Samuel Parker was the author of this "Journal of an Exploring Tour beyond the Rocky Mountains, under the Direction of the A. B. C. F. M., performed in the Years IS.i'!, 1836, and 1837." It was published in Ithaca just a century ago this year, and there is also a "people's edition"" published three years later in Edinburgh. One of the most important contemporary sources of information on the West was ,i work on the North Ameri- can Indians by G. Catlm that included travel adventures among them. A German translation of this book is among those m the uift from Mr. Peek, Not all are so factual, for Timothy Flint"s "The Sho.^honee Valley"" is an 1S30 romance in tWD \nlumcs. And. while many volumes are 100 years i ild. there i'; ,i1mi valuable material of more recent productiiin. like the complete hie of The Cottontail, an amateur monthly published in Evanston, Wisconsin, in 1923 and 1924, which specialized in short stories about the West, the Indians, etc. ► Spe.aking recently of Mr. Peck's gift. Professor J. B. Hedges of the Brown History Department said is was a welcome acquisition, particularly strong in its collections of the laws of vannus State- .inj Territories, journals of State constitulion.il c uiventi. at--, diaries and lournals of Forty-Niners, cuntcmporarN- .iccounts of mining rushes in different parts of the Mountain countty, original docu- ments and secondary works dealing with the Indians and Indian relations, many contemporary travel narratives, journals of fur traders and numerous bound volumes of early magazines of the Far West. As Professor Hedges looked over the Library's resources in the field of American history, he saw one gap: in its collections on the Hispanic Southwest of the United States and the Mormons. < ^ ^ — And Liltle Fishes! ► Dr. Ch.^rles J. Fish "2 1 told the story of the work of the Narragansett Marine Laboratory, of which he is direc- tor, in a feature article m the Provnience Sunday Journal recently. Dr. Fish pointed out that Rhode Island fisheries had an annual yield ot .SI .^nn.nni i, r.

In recent years, members of the fraternity have been high in academic standing. They also were strong in intramural sports, cap- turing the basketball and handball trophies in 1931' and 1936. During the 44 years Alpha Tau has func- tioned at Brown, 3 5^ members have been initiated. It is one of 94 chapters affiliated with the National Alpha Tau Omega fra- ternity. Mr. Schweikart declared that vacating of the chapter house did not necessitate sur- render of the fraternity charter, either to the university or to the national fraternity. The charter, he said, was given up volun- tar.ly. > Hope of a return of A. T. O. to Brown was held out in the Brown Daily Herald. which extended the campus"s sincerest sym- pathy to members of Alpha Tau Omega "who this morning find themselves without a local fraternity." The chapter had de- cided to disband, the editorial said, "be- cause of the difficulties which have hit houses here and on other campuses." "Yet at the same time," it continued, "congratulations must be extended to the members of the house who have had the coinage to take this decisive step. Attempt- ing to -urM\c insurmountable difficulties could only h.ive resulted in placing a crush- ing burden on each member. . . . In a year or two. when business and financial con- ditions improve, it may be feasible for the Alpha Tau Omega chapter to reopen its doors. When this time comes, they will be sure of an eager welcome into the fold of Brown fraternities." < < < In Ihr i:r,„lu„lr Srhool ► Thirty-i\\o ,iiJ 17 scholar- ships, the 1,11 1;. iccent years, have been .i\\ i: ; .; : : : ..

Nearly a hundred alumni, the largest gathering in several years, came to hear President Wriston and to cheer him at the end of hi^ masterful talk. Chosen as officers of the Club for 1938- 39 were: President--Morris F. Swaney "23: Vice-President— Charles D. Kenney '27; Secretary — Palmer App '37; Treasurer — Edwin L. Read, Jr. '.i^i.

P (Frit;) Bassett, Jr. '33, who has done a fine work as secretary and as editor of T)ie Brown Derby, official publi- cation of the Club. Space does not permit any direct quota- tion from President Wriston's speech, a report on the present state of Brown and a vivid analysis of forces at work in the world today. President Wriston hit out at propaganda in particular, .said that Brown was interested solely in the concept of truth — "cold truth" — and that the empha- sis must be on habits of self-discipline. As Fritz Bassett aptly put it: "The reporter who sets out to 'take a few notes' on Dr. Wriston constantly finds himself listen- ing instead of writing (as he should be) at white heat." To the meeting the Club invited Presi- dent Walter Dill Scott of Northwestern, Dr. James M. Stifler '25, honorary, of the University of Chicago and headmasters and principals of some of the best known preparatory schools in the Chicago sector. There was also present a delegation from Milw;iukcc, which city is well represented in the Class of 1941 on the Hill. ► The Brown Club of Chicago will give Dr. Bruce M. Bigelow "24, Director of Admissions, a buffet supper at the Uni- versity Club on March 4 when Dr. Bigelow will be in the city visiting schools. The luncheon for undergraduates on December 29 drew 3 4 students home for the holidays and nearly an equal number of Brown Club members, giving President Earle V. John- son '24 cause to say that the luncheon crowd was the largest for the past four years. Speaker was Ralph Cannon, sports cnluiiin writer on the Chicago Daily Hews .,nd one of the Middle West's most reliable I.Mitb.ill commentators. < !\eiv Hampshire ► Twenty-four members and guests of the Brown Club of New Hampshire met at dinner at the Orrington Hotel, Manchester, Wednesday evening, December 29, to make preliminary plans for the reorganization of the Club and the revival of interest in Brown in New Hampshire. Percy A. Shaw '08, superintendent of the Manchester Water Works, aided by Dr. H W. N. Bennett '97, faithful member and officer of the Club for many years, was chairman and guiding spirit of the meeting, and A. H. Gurney '1)7, Alumni Secretary, was guest speaker. Under Shaw's direction a committee is now at work to draw up a constitution, elect officers and prepare tor a spring meeting. The discussion of ways and means to re- organize the Club was animated, indicating that the Brown men in New Hampshire are eager to form a closer union for the benefit of the University and of themselves.

Worcester's tower- ing team has been particularly successful this year and beat Brown by the narrowest of margins. Brown had one point to the good at the half. 20-19. and the score later stood level at 39 when W. P. I. went into the lead. With the home team fighting to hold a 45 44 advantage, a shot of Platt"s rimmed the basket as the game ended. He had scored 22. The game was lost on the foul line where Brown made good only six ► Hockey's 50-50 record in an interesting schedule continued in the latter part of January when the Bear licked Massachusetts State 5-2 and lo.st to Harvard 10-2. Still without the ailing Curtis in goal. Brown played well against the Aggies, and Roc defended well while Hicks. Davis. Carter, and Welch were scoring. But Harvard"s potential champions were too strong, al- though the Brunonians, particularly Mar- tin's bantam line, made it aggressive hockey throughout, and their fight was rewarded in the third period by goals trom the sticks of Davis and Wood. The Freshmen, paced by Stepczyk and Sheehan on the attack and with a good pair of defense men in Cousins and Kidney, maintained their victorious balance .n defeating Cranston High 3-2, coming fn.ni behind to do .so. The wrestlers, defeated in keen competi- tion by Harvard, had a number of close matches at New Haven, but the margin of -ere, in the former instance 15-13, was w),l,- ,ii;,ii- Vale, 29-3.

Politician Roosevelt now pours molasses and salve all over the place in a heartfelt endeavor to hold the votes of the rest of the people. . . . His message to the Con- gress on the state of the union was as enter- taining as any little thing he ever did. History will eventually record hi: rather than his words. His Adii will be noteworthy chiefly for fishing and fireworks. His present fulminations against alleged monopolies are not particularly pure and holy." 1896 Jesse F. Smith of the Faculty of Suffield School, Suffield, Conn., was a campus visi- tor during the holiday recess and thought- fully ofl"ered congratulations "on the at- tractive, readable and informing Brown Alumni Monthly."

For verse and music many Brown men consider "On the Chapel Steps'" above "'Alma Mater." Rev. Charles M. Sheldon '83, author of "In His Steps," has described "On the Chapel Steps'" as "a genuine college song with real college atmosphere and beauty.'" He has also recalled that the late Joel N. Eno '83 wrote the words and that at meetings of the Delta Upsilon fra- ternity, of which Dr. Gow was a member, the undergraduates often sang the song. They also sang it on the campus "under the braided branches of the elms"" and so began the popularity that it has had during 55 yea ^^ THESE WERE THE •CHAPEL STEPS" when George Cole- man Gow '8J wrote his memorable song.

During the same year that he began his work at Vassar he had published his prin- cipal work, "Structure of Music " In his early years at the College he served with three teachers who, with him, taught 56 students. At the time of his retirement in 193 2 there were 20 teachers and more than 21 Ml students.

In 1934, at the 50th Reunion of his class, he read his delightful poem "Greeting" as "a reminder that '84 still belongs to the Victorian age of formal rhyme and rhythm." He was a former president of the Music Teachers' National Association and the Dutchess County Musical Associa- tion, and a member of the Societe de Musicologie Francaise and Phi Beta Kappa. In 1903 Brown conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Music. He was married June 19, 1901, to Miss Grace D. Chester, who survives, with a daughter, Mrs. Serena Gow Waterman. < 1893 ► Many of his former players who made Brown a name to conjure with in college baseball attended the funeral of Dr. Frank Joseph Sexton who died suddenly at his home in Brighton, Mass., Jan. 4, 1938. Also at the funeral were Fred Tenney '94, his batterymate in college, and Fred W. Woodcock '91, another great player of those memorable days of Brown baseball. Sexton and Tenney were the leading college baseball battery of their generation. But brilliant as he was as a pitcher, "Doc" Sexton was more brilliant as a coach. For 12 years he developed teams at Brown. He coached five years at Harvard and four at Michigan. His Harvard teams won three Yale series. Three of his Michigan teams won the Big Ten championship. Yet his greatest team, perhaps, was that of 1907 at Brown which he made out of the "simon pures" of 1904 into the college champion of the country, a team that won 16 games and lost only one to the All Collegians, a semi-professional nine. Yale, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, Columbia, Syra- cuse, Alabama, and Amherst were among the victims. In 1904 the great team of veterans, led by the late Michael J.

He commenced practice in North EastonMass., where he was at one time chairman of the Board of Health. In recent years he had practised in Brookline and Brighton. He also had an office in Boston and was a medical examiner for the New York Life Insurance Company. He was married Jan 8, 1900, to Miss Mary Louise Kirby of Cincinnati, O., who survives.

Y., Jan. 4. 1938, after a short illness. A quiet, unassuming under- graduate at Brown, he left College Hill to develop a boyhood hobby into a work that made him internationally known. "Mr. Wood's special interest was Ori- ental coins, on which he was a world authority," said the Hew York, Herald Tribune. "During the World War he arranged an exhibition of military insignia which were afterward purchased by the Smithsonian Institution. His knowledge of American commemorative coins caused the capture of a skilful forger, the only such forger ever heard of in the United States. Mr. Wood discovered that there were far too many of certain types of fO-cent pieces in circulation considering the original sup- ply and expressed his suspicion to Secret Service agents who later ran down the counterfeiter." Howland Wood was born in New Bed- ford, Mass. May 30, 1877, the son of George H. and Elizabeth A. (Doane) Wood. He came to Brown from Mowry S" Goff's English and Classical School, and from graduation in 1900 to 1913 was soli- citor for Folsom C# Sunergren, photo en- gravers, Boston. In 1913 he became curator of the American Numismatic Society, which now has the largest collection of coins, medaks, plaques in this country.

It now has about 200,000 pieces in it. Mr. Wood was secretary of the American Numismatics Association from 1905 to 1909 and chairman of the board of gov- ernors, 1909 to 1912. He edited several publications dealing with coins, wrote many articles on numismatics. He was a fellow of the American Numismatics Society and the Royal Numismatic Society of London; honorary member of the Yokohama Numis- matic Society: and a member of the Ameri- can Oriental Society, the Antiquarian Society, and the New York Numismatic Club, of which he was president for three years. He was also a trustee of the Hunting- ton Free Public Library and Reading room. He was married in June, 1913, to Miss Elizabeth Eliot Marvin, who survives, with tw^o daughters, Mrs. Charles E.

The Council program opened on Friday morning, the 14th, when alumnae were given the opportunity to attend classes in Pembroke Hall conducted by Professors Ben Brown. Sharon Brown, Theodore Collier, James B. Hedges, and Randall Stewart, An informal luncheon in the Dean's Dinmg Room in Alumnae Hall and m the Early ,-\nierican Room followed. The high -pot of the afternoon was the official opening of the remodelled and newly decorated Field House at the corner of Brook and Gushing Streets, where the alumnae were the guests of the members of the Athletic Association. Dean Morriss, Mrs, Henry M. Wriston. and Miss Bessie H, Rudd, Director of Physical Education, received the alumnae. The attractive home- like furnishings in the large heavily-beamed lounge, the glowing fire in the fireplace and spring flowers on the tea table and else- where were a pleasant contrast to the snowy hockey field as viewed through the case- ment windows. > President Wriston was the guest of honor at the Council dinner on Friday night, and was both inspiring and challeng- ing in his address. Following a brief intro- duction by Dean Morriss, he said in part: "In deciding upon a dormitory for your Semi-centennial project you are to be con- gratulated; you have chosen something which is at once dramatic, concrete, and has a strong appeal to the student body. A residence hall is Pembroke's outstanding need at the present time. "A student's living quarters have more to do with the quality of work done than any other factor in her college life, since the real place for studying to be done is where a student lives. Nothing has con- tributed more to the intellectual life at Harvard and at Yale than their new hous- ing plans, Pembroke wants both local girls and girls from a distance in its student body. Miller and Metcalf Halls have many fine features. In building a new dormitory we shall combine their best point- with others which are being incorporated into new dormitories in other colleges.

In no -ingle year has more money been given to Brown than this year. "The real tragedy of the world today is that wc are acting on a niaterialistic basis when in.itcn.ilisni i- bankrupt. There is, however, ,i dun Lon-ciou-ncss in people's minds that educational institutions like ours have still a vestige of sanity and a grip on reality, and realize that the life of the spirit cannot be dominated by a materialistic philosophy, "Brown IS one of the few colleges which has kept the faith with its early ideals and traditions. For this reason you, as alumnae, have reason to be proud of your college. . . . Do not envy colleges which seem to have many more wealthy alumnae than your own. Do not forget that they are constantly looking for money just as we are, and probably envying us for what we have that they have not. You have set yourselves a task. Take courage, and you will carry it through to success. Remember, if you do your part, we shall try to help you with the rest." ► Following Dr. W^riston's address Anna Canada Swain '11, Chairman of the Semi- centennial Fund Committee, set forth the reasons for the project, and the means by which it might be successfully accomplished. She answered many questions which the 207 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY alumnae have raised. At the conclusion nt her address the alumnae present at the dinner gave iheir hearty endorsement to the plan hy pledgnig $15,(KHK Dr, James P. Adams, in an niipromptu speech, con- tributed to the enjoyment of all hy telling a number of jokes on himself while the pledges were being counted. The business meeting of the Council followed the meeting of the Club Repre- sentatives on Saturd.iy iiK.rning. Jes.sie Monroe Williams i:, pre-idcnt of the Alumnae Association, with tine judgment and humor, quickly despatched the routine business and presented Anna Canada Swain "11, Chairman of the Fund Committee, Mrs. Swain in turn presented 1 1 alumnae who spoke briefly and to the point on different phases of the Semi-centennial project. Mr. Theodore R. Jeffers, Brown '23, Executive Secretary of the Brown University Council, who has been of the greatest assistance in helping to inaugurate the plan, was also a speaker. Mrs. Williams then introduced Dean Morriss, who spoke of some of the new developments at Pembroke. Before speak- ing of the College, Dean Morriss remarked that she had never attended a more inspira- tional nor a happier meeting than that of this Council and she congratulated the alumnae on their competence and spirit. Next to the installation of Dr. Wnston as the Uth president of Brown University. Dean Morriss said that the outstanding event of the year had been the change in curriculum. The change has necessitated more advisory work and this is accomplished through the advisory committee consisting of the Dean, the Director of Admissions and Personnel, the Registrar, the Director of Physical Education, and the new Social Director. In speaking of Pembroke's health program. Dean Morriss said that it is second to none in the country. At the luncheon which concluded the Council's program, Mrs. Dorothy Blackall of Radcliffe spoke on the success of the Radcliffe Alumnae Fund last year in over- subscribing the amount needed to furnish their newest dormitory. Her talk was prac- tical and reassuring and made us wish that our dormitory might be a reality in one year instead of five. ^ ^ Notes of the Alumnae Classes ^ Commercial Banking Trust Department Capital $500,000 Surplus and Undivided Profits (over) .... $1,000,000 BLACKSTONE CANAL NATIONAL BANK 20 MARKET SQUARE PROVIDENCE.
