XLIII NUMBER 4 ► ► 'Water Commandos'^ A New Purpose in Swimming ► ► Everything from the basic back float to the technique of swimming under water to avoid blazing oil patches or to escape from the cockpit of a submerged plane was offered recently as the latest phase of Brown University's Physical Fitness Program. Given as a course in "Functional Swimming and Water Safety Training", the program is part of Brown's pre- induction military training courses and is in harmony with Lieut. Gen. Brehon B. Somervell's advice to American educators, "Be sure that no American soldier is killed or injured because you failed to do your part to provide ade- quate training. It is the job of schools and colleges of America to provide the opportunity for every youth to equip himself for a place in winning the war." The 400 Brown men participating in the Navy-super- vised training classes continued in this work until the end of regular classes for the summer semester, attending three classes a week. At the end of the course, a series of tests were given to determine their skill. This "water commando" work will be conducted through the fall as well. The functional swimming course was planned by Carroll Bryant of the American Red Cross, who has been in Eng- land training Commando forces in aquatics. It is designed to "increase the service man's chance of survival in the water in case of mishap and to give the men the technical advantages of ready mobility in the water." The course at Brown, under the direction of Swimming Coach E. Leo Barry, has been divided into three groups for instruction — non-swimmers, novice swimmers, and ex- pert swimmers. Members of the swimming team act as demonstrators for classes in the Colgate-Hoyt swimming pool. As part of fundamental swimming skills. Brown men learn the breast stroke, breast stroke with scissors kick, side stroke and back stroke and will be able to float, tread water, and plunge. ► In the second part of the course, trainees are taught nine variations of the fundamental skills: side stroke using legs and one arm only, to tow floated equipment or a helpless comrade; swimming on back, using legs only, to tow when both hands are engaged in the task or when both arms are disabled; swimming under water, to avoid enemy fire, to get clear of oil and surface debris; swimming and floating in restricted area, while awaiting pick-up and rescue; silent swimming, to avoid drawing enemy gunfire; swimming with head high, to keep face clear of water at all times, especially in rough seas and spindrift; swimming with splash recovery, to swim through ignited oil patches on sea; plunge diving from 12 to 15 feet at 45 degree angle, useful in getting clear of a sinking ship; leaping into the water feet foremost at 16-20 feet without difficulty, an emergency method of entering the water from high em- bankments or decks of ships. To meet special conditions, a third part of the course emphasizes swimming for several minutes with and without shoes; swimming and floating fully clothed and supported by life belt; treading water fully clothed and in a life belt. Eventually students fully clothed and with full equipment are able to swim, tread water and float or to swim with a 10 lb. length of pipe simulating a rifle; to leap from grad- uated heights up to 16-20 feet fully clothed and wearing life belts; to plunge, dive and swim under water fully clothed and finally to push or tow float-supported light weapons or supplies. i i B runoniana ► ► Brown gr.ads, voting in a special election, nominated Arthur W. Packard "2 5 and Dr. Charles C. Tillinghast '06 as Alumni Trustees. On Oct. 16 the University Corpora- tion completed their election and added to the number three Corporation Trustees: Fred B. Perkins '19 of Providence and Claude R. Branch '07 and Homer N. Sweet '07 of Boston. Rev. Albert C. Thomas '08, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Providence, previously elected, took his engagement as a Corporation member. Resignations of William E. Lincoln '6S and William R. Dorman '92 were accepted. Election of Packard and Tillinghast was the first held since Charter amendment did away with the requirement of denominational qualification. Curious thing was that both, leaders on a slate of 1 3 , are New York Baptists, who would have been running against each other for a single vacancy under previous election rules. Future election of Alumni Trustees, two a year for seven- year terms, will be conducted by a new agreement. Where recent voting for Alumni Trustees has been limited to grad- uate men and holders of advanced and honorary degrees, the franchise will now be extended to all alumni who at- tended Brown for four semesters and to Pembroke alumnae of similar standing. ► In one of his best talks since his arrival at Brown, President Henry M. Wriston told the 1942 Alumni Day crowd that the drafting of 18- and 19-year-old American boys was necessary because of the nation's earlier adoption of the principles of security, "the most corrosive word of modern times." "The question of what will happen to our colleges when this law IS passed is irrelevant," the President said. "I don't much care even if we are forced to close our colleges — as long as we have the energy to open them again. We have been obliged in the past to curtail our academic program because of a wartime emergency only to open them again for the developing of peace-time leaders. The important thing is that we maintain our intellectual and spiritual integrity." The committee under Alexander T. Hindmarsh '19 had arranged a well-balanced program in the Naval Gym, fol- lowing closely on the final whistle of the football victory over Lafayette. H. Linus Travers '27, Vice-President of the COVER PHOTO: Flames on the water mean new techniques for swimmers. A Brown student demonstrates a wartime skill in the Colgate Hoyt Pool. BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Yankee Network, paid amusing compliment to the ladies, present for the first time at an Alumni Day supper. A gay interruption came when J. Harold Williams 'IS as a gray- heard broke in to ask why something wasn't being done about the fact that this was the 100th anniversary of the founding of an alumni association at Brown. Representing nearly 2000 alumni in military service. Rev. Raymond S. Hall "31, paratroop chaplain, came up from the South to describe vividly his first jump, his work, and the faith of the men in arms. Roger T. Clapp "19 was a suave toastmaster. Paul H. Hodge "28 and his fellow members of the Prov- idence Brown Club's executive committee were the ticket committee, while Nelson B. Jones '2cS, Louis A. R. Pieri "20, A. W. Calder, Jr. "28, Carleton Goff "24. Walter V. Moriarty "20, Edward T. Richards "27, Shirley Eisbree "25, and W. Chesley Worthington "2.3 had other committee berths. H. Stanton Smith "2 1 was in charge of the annual regatta for the Thurber Trophy, in which the Alumni de- feated the undergraduates on the Seckonk. Alumni Day was underwritten by the Providence Brown Club, the Asso- ciated Alumni and the University. ► Dr,-\ft the most promising youth for college in wartime. President Wriston suggested in his annual report to the Corporation of Brown this fall. Such a Selective Service principle, he said, would take from the hands of the college and the prospective student the responsibility of determin- ing which shall go to college. It would thus eliminate from the picture any possible suggestion of avoidance of military service, he pointed out. In the course of a full survey of the part of the college and university in the war effort, he further suggested that they should be used for further education of the wounded who are convalescent but who cannot return to armed service, "as a transition to the return to civilian life."" ► CoMiNC BACK after seeing Holy Cross take a 14-(i lead on Nov. 7, the Brown football varsity showed the courage and fine play it was capable of in a 20-14 victory that must go down as one of the finest of any season. It was the high spot of the 1942 autumn and kept the home schedule with- out defeat. After early season triumphs over Rhode Island and Columbia, in which the team revealed offensive power to rank with the nation's best, the attack began to bog down against a stubborn Lafayette team and then lapsed as Prince- ton and Yale found weaknesses in the Bear"s pass defense to run up large scores. What made the resurgence against Holy Cross the more heartening was the fact that it came with the squad still handicapped by injuries. Margarita, whose ground-gaining was highest in the land until he was injured at Princeton, was still on the sidelines, and other casualties had made it necessary to revamp the backfield. But Savage, hurt in .scrimmage earlier in the week, was determined he"d be in shape to play and was. He sparked the Brunonians to a heart-rousing kind of fight that no spectator will ever forget. Against Harvard, too, it looked as though the Bear would march to victory on a 9S-yard advance at the outset, but a costly fumble on a bitter day turned the tide. Though the team went down fighting, a single 58-yard touchdown romp by a Sophomore from Providence gave Harvard a 7-0 triumph. Best Junior Varsity game was that in which the team fought back against Dartmouth and won with Titcomb"s last minute field goal, 17-16. The season"s "Varsity scores: Brown 28, Rhode Island 0. Brown 28, Columbia 21. Brown 7, Lafayette 0. Princeton 32, Brown 13. Yale 27, Brown 0. Brown 20, Holy Cross 14. Harvard 7, Brown 0. Believe it or Not Dept. (from the Providence Joimtal for Oct. 13) : "Elections for Brown University students to Phi Beta Kappa, scheduled to take place yesterday, will be held today instead. Football practice and other athletic activities prevented a quorum yesterday."" Song for the Andes ► Geologist Arthur B. Cleaves "27, writing from Caracas, told Prof. Charles W. Brown last month: "Pm also well posted on football scores, and have been thrilled with the splendid progress of the Brown team. Last week I was rid- ing mountain trails in a dismal downpour. Everyone looked so depressed that I "bounced" into the Brown football songs, and, before long even our three peons were singing "We Are Ever True to Brown."' I guess that"s the most unusual sjund these Andes have heard since Bolivar's tattered armies struggled over these same trails."" Cleaves expects a November holiday in the United States. Although envious of his brothers, Alfred and Emery, who are both Lieutenants in the Navy, Cleaves has been of con- spicuous service in his own field. Since 1938 he has been chief geologist on more than $300,000,000 worth of heavy construction and engineering work. "I should never have been capable of carrying through successfully on these projects without the careful prepara- tion and inspiration at Brown. I feel very inadequate and humble when I realize my heavy responsibility to you and my University." In the same mail with the letter from Venezuela came another to Prof. Brown from Pemberton Killeen '29, an- other protege, on assignment in Alaska. i Promotions on the Journal ► Two Brown men figure prominently in promotions an- nounced not long ago by the Providence journal, which as- signed veteran staff members to new important responsibili- ties. Frederic W. Collins "28, political writer who has been represented in news-story anthologies, has gone to Wash- ington to succeed the retiring Ashmun Brown, one of the CapitaKs most distinguished correspondents. Garrett D. Byrnes "26, for many years drama and motion picture critic on the Evening Bulletin, with friends among the most noted figures in the two arts, is the new Sunday Editor. Wider responsibilities than any previously assigned in this post have been given him, and he has already invigorated further one of the best Sunday papers in the country. 4 ISegro $l-a-Year Man ► "LoRiMER Milton, the only Negro $l-a-year man in the Government, and a graduate of Brown University (1920). He flies up to Washington trom Atlanta, where he is a bank president,"" writes W. M. Kiplinger in his book "Washing- ton is Like That,"" which Harper is' Brothers brought out a month or so ago. Mr. Kiplinger, citing a list of Negro leaders within the Government, names Milton high up among the most prominent. < Catalogues Available ► Any alumnus who is willing to pay the postage may have for the asking a copy of the Brown Historical Cata- logue for 1904, 1914, or 1924. Address the Secretary, Brown University. (A charge of $2.50 is asked for the most recent edition, 1934.) i 100 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY In Chapter Houses M < ► > Fall initiations, unusual fur Brown fraternities, are being held following pledg- ing of Freshmen on the campus for the sum- mer term.

President Wriston did the honors in August because, for the first time, his own fraternity, Delta Tau Delta, had won the cup. In winning the intramural competition for the year, the Delta nosed out Delta Upsilon, previous champions, in a two-team finish. It was a virtual triple tie for third: The totals for the year: Delta Tau Delta 392.5, Delta Upsilon 381.5, Phi Gamma Delta 218.8, Zeta Psi 218.3, P.si Upsilon 218.0, Delta Phi 201.0, Delta Kappa Epsilon 198.5, Alpha Delta Phi 194.0, Phi Kappa Psi 152.3, Pi Lambda Phi 137.8, Phi Delta Theta 127.0, Lambda Chi Alpha 125.0, Sigma Chi 72.0, Sigma Nu 60.5, Theta Delta Chi 41.5, Beta Theta Pi 40.5, Kappa Sigma 34.0.

GURNEY '07 1883 ► ► Former Governor Edward C. Stokes of New Jersey was reported to be in hospi- tal, according to a letter sent to your Class Secretary (Henry P. Manning) by our class- mate's secretary. Then came the news of his death on Nov. 4. An account of his noteworthy career will appear in a later issue of the Brown Allimni Monthly. Nathaniel Blaisdell, president of the Brown Club of Alta California, did not come East from San Francisco this fall. "While these alarms, alerts, blackouts, dim- outs and false reports continue," he wrote last month, "I dare not leave home. . . . We are living in half-light." His description of the preparations made to protect his house in case of air raids is a vivid and absorbing one. "My nostalgia for Brown and my group of friends in and around 'that good old boys' school' is hard to bear," he added, asking to be remembered to Walter Burn- ham and H. P. Manning. Yoar Secretary records with regret the death of Wilson G. Crosby in Duluth, Minn., Sept. 27, 1942, and extends to his two sons the sympathy of the Class. Law- yer, philanthropist, and lover of music and art, he was a native of Edgartown, Mass., and "one of the most distinguished of his generation of Vineyarders." 1885 Former Supreme Court Justice Norman S. Dike, observing his 80th birthday last month, was guest of honor at a dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher W. Rockwell at the Hotel Plaza, New York. Lt, Norman S. Dike, Jr. "41, U. S. A., and Mrs. Dike were at the dinner. 1890 Rev. Daniel S. Jenks is back at his home in Concord, N. H., after nearly a year un- der hospital care. Retiring in December, 193 5, after serving 22 years as General Secretary, New Hampshire State Baptist Convention, he became seriously ill in 1939. "Now," he wrote laconically in mid-Sep- 101 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY tember, "I have a much milder form of ill- ness, living at my home in Concord, RFD 3." The late Dr. James Quayle Dealey's brother, G. B. Dealey, began his 69th year of work for The Dallas ?^ews in Dallas, Tex., Oct. 13. "It is a record in the newspaper world for continuous association with one institution," said the AP. Mr. Dealey, start- ing as office boy. is now publisher of The J^ews, is 83 years old, and "puts in a full office day si.x days a week." Our classmate was editor of The TvJeu'S from the time he left Brown in 1929 until his death. 1891 Observing his 50th anniversary with the company, George J. Holden. treasurer and general manager of Smith-Holden Dental Supply Co., was guest of his fellow workers at a dinner at the Biltmore Hotel, Provi- dence, Sept. 26. He received a clock and barometer, had his chance to talk about his years of service, and then organized the Quarter Century Club of 12 men and women, including himself, "To each he gave a $25 War Bond on behalf of the company. Theodore R. Jeffers "23 was toast- master. Rev. Charles A. Meader and Mrs. Meader have left East Greenwich, where our class- mate IS rector emeritus of St. Luke's Epis- copal Church, to live in South Attleboro, Mass. They spent the summer at their house in Wilmot Flat, N. H. 1892 William R. Dorman has resigned as Trus- tee of the University after 30 years of de- voted and constructive service. He is still practising law in New York as a member of the firm of Dorman y Dana (Charles B. Dana "99). Mrs. Emily Meader Easton, widow of our classmate Frank T. Easton, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Albert S. Tufts, in Chapel Hill, N. C, Sept. 13, 1942. Mrs. Easton, graduate of Wellesley College and former teacher of English in Providence Classical High School, prepared material during research in England for two biogra- phies, "Roger Williams: Prophet and Pio- neer," and "Youth Immortal," the life of Robert Herrick. 1893 Walter S. Reynolds has been elected as an honorary member of The Unviersity Club, Providence, of which he was a founder. 1896 Jesse F. Smith, beginning his 25th year on the teaching staff of Suffield Academy, Suffield, Conn., has established a record for consecutive service at the school which has been in operation for 108 years. George L. Parker writes: "After Nov. 1, my address until next spring will be 398 Victoria Ave., Winter Park, Fla." 1897 Russell Hathaway, retired after 3 5 years' service with the Associated Press, including 15 years as chief of the AP bureau in Albany, N. Y., is living at 3 5 Van Schaick Ave., Albany. Rev. Dr. Joseph C. Robbins, president of Northern Baptist Convention, began a na- tion-wide speaking tour at First Baptist Church, Providence, Sunday, Oct. 4. He also spoke at a youth service that afternoon at Calvary Baptist Church. Before he re- turns home he will ha%'e visited the 37 States in which there are Baptist churches. 1899 Associate Justice Charles A. Walsh of Rhode Island Superior Court has succeeded Herbert M. Sherwood '09 as chairman of the Providence Civilian Defense Council and is also director of the civilian defense division of the Council. He has been head of the consumer division since the Council was organized. Judge Walsh, the Proi'i- dence BuHetm said editorially, "sets another example of the type of outstanding public- spirited citizen which civilian defense re- quires both as leaders and as men capable of impressing upon the people the serious obli- gation to prepare intelligently and thor- oughly for the possibility of wartime destruc- tion here at home. Judge Walsh can provide the leadership, the cohesive force and the forward drive that spell success for Provi- dence civlian defense." Dr. Henry Wade Hopkins, who died sud- denly in Burlington, Vt., Oct. 14, had been physician and surgeon in Warren, R. I., 37 years. He had also served as Medical Examiner. He left Brown at the end of three years, entered the Medical School, University of Vermont, and won his M.D degree in 1902 as one of five honor men of the class. He was one of Warren's best known citizens, a Mason, a member of the Council of Civilian Defense, and of Alpha Tau Omega and Delta Mu, medical fra- ternity. Charles C. Remington, your Class Secre- tary, and Mrs. Remington are now living at 208 Waterman St., Providence. He was re- ported to have suffered a heart attack late in October. 1900 Mr. and Mrs. Harry A. MacKnight of Auburn have announced the engagement of their daughter. Miss June D. MacKnight, to Henry Carpenter Bacon, son of Willard H. Bacon and Mrs. Bacon of Westerly. 1901 President Harvey N. Davis of Stevens Institute of Technology told the student body at the opening of the Institute's 71st academic year in September that the Gov- ernment's draft policy was creating "disas- trous chaos" in industry. "Somehow the "ubiic must be made to realize," he said, "that this is fundamentally a highly mech- anized war and that we are in far more danger of losing it in the factories and shipyards at home than in any of the com- bat areas. Somehow we must learn to give more public respect and appreciation to our production army at the bench and at the machine tool." He gave facts and figures on the diversion of engineering ■'tudents into the armed forces, and, accord- ing to the T^ew Tor/( Herald Tribune news story, "saw the ultimate answer in a legally established system of 'reserved occupations' such as was provided by Parliamentary ac- tion in Britain in 1939, before the war." Harold L. Madison, field executive of Audubon Society of Rhode Island, spoke on "Birds: Their Habits and Their Nests," at the October meeting of the Providence League for the Hard of Hearing. Harrison E. Wright's guest in Basking Ridge, N. J., Sunday, Sept. 20, was Rev. Dr. Antonio Mangano '99, former pastor of First Italian Baptist Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. Dr. Mangano spoke before the S. S. Childs Bible Class, of which Wright is president, in the Presbyterian Church, and also preached at Millmgton Baptist Church and at the Italian Presbyterian Church, Bernardsville, N. J., while he was with the Wrights. Your Secretary records with regret the death of Henry Langworthy Burdick in Westerly, Oct. 4, 1942, and gives to Mrs. Burdick the sincere sympathy of the Class. Burdick entered Brown with us, and later transferred to Amherst, from which he was graduated in 1903. He studied law at Harvard Law .School, was an associate of the good Brown firm of Gardner, Pirce y Thornley. Providence, and in 1912 joined Sfa'-kweat^"'- & Shenlev. Inc. 'nsurance. as attorney.

The fact that there is a court, a facile recourse to arbitral procedures or judicial remedy, makes actual resort to such processes the less necessary, because the spirit of fairness and accord is cultivated." 1921 Benjamin R.

At the Brown-Columbia football game he sold the football for War Bonds. On the same day he also re- ceived a picture of the Brown Herald trophy given for "distinguished liter- ary achievement." The reason why he got the picture instead of the cup was because the cup had gone to the scrap heap "to do its part,"" as the Herald patriotically said, "to aid the United Nations" war cause." Soon, the Hollywood columnists say, he will he out there among the blondes, brunettes, and strong, but not too silent men to appear in the prologue to the picture to be made from his book "Only the Stars Are Neutral."" Report is that 20th Cen- tury-Fo.x paid him $150,000 for the movie rights which, as Quentin him- self would say, "is not hay.""

Down W eiit Five Zeros y y HoMl; from the wars as Brown and Rhode Island's first ace of the Second World War came Capt. David R. McGovern '37, Army Air Forces, for a short leave in mid-September. His was a story of "blood and sweat — hut no tears — hot from the flaming, fighting fronts of New Guinea, where as part of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's air force he shot down five Jap Zeros," wrote George E. Pelletier in the Prot'idencf Journal. "His months of experience in Northern Australia, and in the actions at Port Moresby, Rabaul, Lae and Milne Bay have taught him two things — first, that the Japs are tough fighters; second, that the Yanks are tougher. . . . But it won't do to underrate the Japs." Dave shot down his first Jap Zero "just after the enemy raided Townsville in Northern Australia." He accounted for his second and third in the Port Moresby area, caught dengue fever and was out of action for days, and then came back to nip two Zeros the same day while his squadron was on "protective escort mission." Thus, with five enemy planes to his credit, did he win his title of ace. His squadron was the first American fighter unit to go into action against the Japanese in the Southwest Pacific. Trained at Randolph and Kelly Fields. Dave won his wings in May, 1940, along with Parker S, Dupouy '39. one of the "Flying Tigers" of China fame.

Truth and Fiction < < For Your Bookshelf ► ► The Brown bookshelf has two new engrossing and totally different additions — "No Day of Triumph" by J. Saunders Red- f^ing '28, and "East of Farewell" by Howard Hunt '40. Redding's book, of which Harper y Bros, are publishers, is this poet and teacher's repoit of what he has learned about his own people during nearly two years of rambling study through the South. "An eloquent, moving recital," W. T. Scott "3 1 called it in the Providence Sunday Journal. " "No Day of Triumph' is many things: an account of a trip among Southern Negroes, a sympathetic inquiry into the Negro 'problem'; a discovery of the com- plexities of the race, the problems within the race. ... It is an anthology of different types of Negroes and different types of view among them." His student days at Brown get passing reference. Prof. Ben C. Clough says that "East of Farewell " is the most real-sounding and most exciting narrative I have read of the present war, and I have already read many, being no more able than most to resist this particular painful fascination. ... It has ev- erything that stories of the war should have, and usually don't." Herbert Clyde Lewis in T^ew Tor\ Herald Tribune Book_s told how Hunt wrote the story while he was convalescing from injuries received in line of duty with Naval Reserves on North Atlantic patrol and went on; " 'East of Farewell' is a story of his own experience, an experience Mr, Hunt never dreamed he would endure while playing m a dance band in college only a few years ago. It is, in brief, the story of one modern American destroyer and four old four-stackers convoying a group of freighters across the difficult, storm- tossed waters of the North Atlantic to Eng- land. ... It is a book to read if you want to know how it feels to convoy a cluster of freighters to England." Alfred A. Knopf is the publisher. i i HOWARD HUNT: "To know how it feels." Second Lt. Samuel M.

Samuel Lunt Caldwell, D.D., and Mary LeNord (Richards) Caldwell; died in Honolulu, T. H., Sept. 2, 1942. His father, second President of Vassar Col- lege, was Trustee and Fellow of Brown for 30 years, and was Secretary of the Corpora- tion during half that time. He was descend- ed from John Caldwell, settler in Ipswich, Mass., about 1640. Dr. Caldwell's wife, Mrs. Annie G. (Wells) Cook Caldwell, was a student at Vassar College when his father was Presi- dent. The marriage took place Oct. 10, 1910, and Mrs. Caldwell died in 1931. She and her husband were inseparable trav- elers for years. When he was nearing his 87th birthday. Dr. Caldwell wrote the Alumni Office, ask- ing for a copy of his obituary with the characteristic comment: "I ought to be put- ting things in order, so as to hole the last putt without rimming the cup." Thus did he put on record his interest in golf, his favorite game, which he introduced to Col- orado Springs, Colo., and which he played until a tew years ago. After graduation from Brown, he went to Colorado to visit friends on ranches near Hugo, and was there during the last Chey- enne Indian raid through eastern Colorado. He won his M.D. at the Medical School, University of Pennsylvania, in 1882, studied for a year at University of Vienna, and commenced practice in Providence. In 1890 he removed to Colorado Springs. In that city, where he lived until he made his last trip to Hawaii in 1940, he was Secretary- Treasurer of the Town and Gown Golf Club, and Food Inspector for the Health Department in the years preceding the First World War. As travelers, he and Mrs. Caldwell were frequent visitors to Europe. They also knew Australia, New Zealand, the South Sea Islands, and much of the Far East. For a considerable number of years they went annually to Hawaii. . . .

In college Stearns was active in the Brown Debating Society and was a member ot the House of Commons. After gradua- tion he became instructor of physics at Manchester High School. He resigned in 1905 to enter Harvard Law School, from which he received the LL.B. degree in 1908. He began the study of law in the office of Cross 6? Roberts; after returning from law school, he commenced practise with his brother who, like him, taught school before taking up law. On April 20, 1909, he married Elizabeth S. Brown, and to them two daughters and a son were born. Surviving are a daughter. Miss Isabel S. Stearns, and the son, S. Rus- sell Stearns. Mrs. Isabelle A.

S, 1872, the son of Comer A. and Rebecca J. (Hosmer) Belk- nap; died of a heart attack in Spokane, Wash., May 2, 1942, while on his way from California to his summer home in Alfred, Me. "He commanded respect everywhere for his clear mind, honest thinking, and cour- teous demeanor. He has been an honor to Alma Mater," a contemporary has written. And another said in the Watchman-Exam- iner: "Besides being a valuable man in the field of education. Dr. Belknap was first and always a Christian gentleman." His career was a busy and varied one. At Brown he was a fine student, winning election to Phi Beta Kappa, and was a leader in the Y.M.C.A. and House of Commons. After graduation from Newton Theological Institution in 1896, he became minister of the First Baptist Church, Sanford, Me.
