"'^^^ ALUMNI MONTHLY MAY, 1943 Vol. XLIII, No. 9 CAN YOU GIVE AS MUCH TO YOUR SECURITIES AS THEY DEMAND? The chances are that the war has placed upon you many added responsibilities and duties which are taking much of the time that you would nor- mally devote to the care of your investments. And the longer the war lasts tlie greater will he the demands on your time. Yet, in these days, when we are in the midst of a complex war economy — when such sciences as chemistry, metallurgy and electronics are creating new methods and materials which may revolution- ize many industries — is the time when your secur- ities require all the attention and experienced man- agement that can he hrought to hear upon them. For these reasons, more and more individuals who seek to conserve their time and energy are finding it to their advantage to place their invest- ments in a Personal Agency Account with the Hospital Trust Company. Our Trust Department, with a staff experienced in investment analysis and management, is pre- pared to take over for you. Why not talk over the details of this service with us?

XLIII NUMBER 9 ► ► The Coininenceinent That Will Be ► ► Two Commencements are to be noted as June 2 ap- proaches on College Hill — the Commencement that will be and the Commencement that might have been. It would have been a major celebration, befitting the IVith annual observance, and it is not hard to imagine the special events and class activity that would have attended it. But 3000 of the Brown alumni will have another pre- occupation on June 2, and other alumni, too, will have war- time engagement so pressing as to keep them at their jobs, even it they are not in the military. And travel restrictions and rationing will further minimise the gathering on the Hill. But there will be a few reunions, and hundreds of alumni will still loin the tradition march down to the First Baptist Meeting House on Commencement Day — this time to enter with the graduating class and share in the ceremony. Of the three graduations during the current academic year, the June Commencement is the one in which alumni participation is invited by the University. The Autumn one, following Brown's first full-fledged summer term, was given over largely to the undergraduates and was essentially the Convocation that opened the new semester. The Febru- ary one, with most of the Class of 1943 receiving degrees at that time, was the Seniors', with orators, "Spring Day", and some of the relics of social activity and class functions that normally come in June. ► When the alumni are invited inside the Meeting House on Commencement Day, it will be the first time in many years that it has been possible for them to witness the graduation exercises. Space will be available because the graduating class will not be large (probably fO men from the College, a corresponding number from Pembroke, and a few candidates for advanced degrees.) President Wriston will be the speaker of the occasion, since the student orations were given in February. As usual in the Commencement exercises baccalaureate degrees will be awarded by President Wriston as the Seniors are presented by Dean Samuel T. Arnold and Dean Mar- garet Shove Morriss. Candidates for advanced degrees will be presented by Dean R. G. D. Richardson, and honorary degrees will be conferred. A wartime note will be injected in the administration of the oath to Seniors who then he- come commissioned officers in the Navy. Commencement Day will begin with a special meeting of the Associated Alumni in Sayles Hall at 9 o'clock. Its half- hour program will include announcement of election re- sults, a preliminary report on the Alumni Fund, and other matters of especial alumni concern. President William P. Burnham '07, retiring from office at the end of his two-year term, will present his successor. ► The Commencement procession will form on the Middle Campus at 9:30, under the direction of E. Tudor Gross '01, Chief Marshal. Mr. Gross, who has performed the duties of Chief of Staff for many years, will have the THE NEW BROWN FLAG flies over the door of the Brown Universit.v Club in New York. Beside it, the flag of the Princeton Club, whose quarters we share at 39 East 39th St. honor attached to the top post this June, as he also did in February. He was recruiting his aides and class marshals early in May. Since the alumni are invited to the graduation exercises and will there hear the President, there will be no Sayles Hall meeting in the afternoon as has been traditional. Nor, because of rationing difficulties, will the general alumni luncheon be held. A small luncheon will he given by the Corporation to the invited guests of the University, and a few modest class luncheons are anticipated. ► In a feature of the Commencement Day the two Army Air Forces Metereological Training Detachments at Brown will conduct a review in connection with the ceremony of retreat at 4 o'clock Commencement afternoon on the Middle Campus. The American flag at the University is in the custody of these units, which observe daily reveille and retreat. The detachments will also march in the Commence- ment morning procession of the University, under the com- mand of Major Arthur B. Campbell. The June meeting of the University Corporation is scheduled for that afternoon at 2:30. Rev. Arthur Howe Bradford, D.D., minister of the Central Congregational Church of Providence, will deliver the baccalaureate sermon this year in the service to be held in the First Baptist Meeting House Sunday afternoon. May THE COVER PHOTO: AFTER "LIGHTS OUT" studying is still permitted in the corridors of Hope College. This member of the Air Forces Meteorology detachment is taking advantage of this ruling. BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY ?0, at 3 o'clock. The pastor of the church, Rev. Albert C. Thomas, D.D., '08, will give the invocation. The service will be followed by a reception for the Corporation, Fac- ulty, members of the graduating classes, and their parents and friends. President and Mrs. Wriston and other Uni- versity officials and their wives will be in the receiving line on the terrace of Faunce House. Ceremonies of Class Day will be held Tuesday afternoon in Faunce House Theatre, followed by a reception and tea dance in the Art Gallery. Pembroke will observe its Class Day Monday. Dim-out regulations which prevent illumina- tion of the campus conspires with the small number of grad- uates to eliminate the traditional open air dance of Class Night again this June. ► While m.'\ny reunion activities have been cancelled or curtailed, this phase of the Commencement season will not be missing. The Class of 1879 will keep intact a custom of 64 years' standing by meeting for its annual luncheon. Dr. Rose C. Monro of Boston, daughter of the late Dr. Walter B. Munro, will be host to the class at 272 Norwood Ave., Edgewood, on Saturday, May 29 at 1 p. m. Also prominent on the reunion schedule will be the luncheon on Commence- ment Day for the "senior alumni" in the classes up to 1890. Frank Hail Brown "85 is chairman of the committee arrang- ing this aifair at the University Club, for which accommo- dations are limited and reservations must he made well in advance of the actual day. The 50-year class of 1893 will hold a dinner Tuesday night, June 1, at the Hope Club, with breakfast there on Commencement Day as well according to its annual custom. At the class tree, which the men planted on the Front Cam- pus 50 years ago, there will be memorial exercises Tuesday at 4 : .30 for the men who have passed on. The '93 committee includes: President Edward B. Aldrich, Secretary Robert M. Brown, Edward H. Weeks, and J. D. E. Jones. Otherwise, the class of 1923 seems to be the only one which will have an overnight reunion, going to Cold Spring House, Wickford, for Saturday evening and Sunday under the chairmanship of President Norman J. Paaschc. Other groups are contenting themselves with a dinner or breakfast for local alumni, without attempting to get men back from a distance. Reunions are not scheduled for any of the most recent classes because of the high percentage of men in service. ► The 25-ye.\r-cl.\ss of 1918 has called off its big reunion "until a more appropriate time." In so doing, 1918 makes a decision similar to 1917's a year ago. The latter proposes to hold its biggest and best reunion whatever the anniversary — at the time of the Commencement which follows the Vic- tory. Other classes have indicated that they will join in such a project, and what a Commencement it will be. Many of the classes are diverting their money and effort from reunion events this year to anniversary campaigns for the Brown Alumni Fund, which has stressed the University's unusual needs in wartime. 1918 will observe its 25th with a break- fast Commencement Day at the University Club at 7 :45. Of all reunions, most interest attaches itself to one which is scheduled for "somewhere in Africa." Capt. John E. Flemming wrote the Alumni Office to confirm the Com- mencement date so that eight of the Brunonians in Africa might celebrate the day together. They will not be alone among the 3000 men in uniform and others who will be thinking of Brown and the Commencement that might have been. We invite their nostalgic plans for the Commence- ment that will come when this war is won. Men on a Ballot < ► ► Brown alumni were voting this month on candidates for Alumni Trustee, general alumni officers, and a member of the Athletic Council. Three ballots were sent out in April. Particular interest attached itself on the selection of two from a field of six nominees for Alumni Trustee in the first voting under a new agreement between the Corporation and the Associated Alumni. For the first time the election was not restricted to holders of degrees, and alumnae of Pembroke were also admitted to the franchise. "Any graduate of said University," said the agreement, "including any holder of an advanced degree in course, and any person who has ceased to attend said University as a student after an attendance of not less than four semesters shall be eligible to vote. Eligible voters shall vote for not more than two candidates, and the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes shall be declared the nominees of the Alumni for Alumni Trustees, provided that the num- ber voting is not less than 25% of the number of holders of degrees in course." The candidates for Alumni Trustee are : William Phineas Burnham "07 of Braintree, Mass., Secretary of French, Shriner fe? Urner, shoe manufacturers. James Saville East- ham '19 of Andover, Mass., General Counsel for Eastern Gas and Fuel Associates and affiliated companies. Joseph Francis Halloran '16 of New York, Vice-President of Davis fe? Catterall and Eureka Printing Co., cotton textile print- ing. Rowland Roberts Hughes "17 of New York, Comp- troller of the National City Bank of New York. Carleton Doty Morse "1 3 of Needham, Mass., President of the Clear- water Laundry Co. Eugene William O'Brien '19 of At- lanta, Ga., Director and Vice-President, W. R. C. Smith Publishing Co., technical publishers, and Editor and Man- aging Director of Southern Power & Industry, currently Engineering Consultant to the WPB and the WMC. In addition, the Brown alumni were asked to vote for a President and Treasurer of the Associated Alumni and for Regional officers. The nominees for President, all from Providence, are: James Cunliffe Bullock '02 Vice-President, Industrial Trust Co. Alton Charles Chick '19, Assistant Vice-President and Engineer, Manufacturers Mutual Fire Insurance Co. Henry Clay Hart '01, partner of the law firm of Hart, Gainer (i Carr. Elmer Stuart Horton '10, senior partner of the advertising firm of Horton-Noyes Co. The single nominee for Treasurer is Fred Emil Schoeneweiss "20 of Providence, Assistant Secretary of the Title Guarantee Co. of R. I. On the Regional slate are candidates for a Vice-President and Director in each district: for Vice-Presidents: New England — George S. Burgess '12, Wellesley, Mass.: Ben- jamin D. Roman '25, Brookline, Mass. Rhode Island — Stanley Henshaw, Jr., '35, Providence; Paul H. Hodge '28, Rumford. Atlantic-Midland — Newton G. Chase '09, New York City. Central— W.

The can- didates for the three-year term are: George J. Holden "91, Holton W. Horton '29, and Lewis S. Milner '03, all of Providence. A Fund Variant < ► ► First contributions to the Alumni Endowment at Brown University have been received, following its recent proposal by the Trustees of the Alumni Fund and its estab- lishment by the Brown Corporation. Sharing the distinc- tion of being first to use this new instrument of benefaction were a Providence lawyer and a Cambridge clergyman, both of whom mailed checks on the same day. Largest was a memorial of $1000 for Henry R. Palmer '90 made by his three children, all Brunonians. Gifts, especially bequests, to the endowment of Brown are now invited in the same way that the Alumni Fund for nearly 30 years has invited gifts to income. The Alumni Endowment, in the opinion of Arthur L. Philbrick '03, Chairman of the Fund Trustees, provides "a medium through which the modest legacy becomes more plausible and useful." He describes the Alumni Endowment as a permanent fund, held and administered by the University as a part of its general investment pool. The income properly attributable to the Alumni Endowment will be added each year to the ordinary contributions to the Alumni Fund but reported separately. A bequest to the Alumni Endowment thus will earn an annual income thereafter, and this, added to the Alumni Fund, will increase by so much the Alumni Fund's unre- stricted gift to Brown. "The Trustees," Mr. Philbrick said, "believe that many a Brown man will wish to bequeath to the university through the Alumni Endowment an amount sufficient to capitalize his customary contribution to the Alumni Fund, continuing forever his belief and share in Brown's well-being. "Experience at a sister institution which has a similar alumni endowment has shown that its alumni no longer hesitate to make small bequests, through a mistaken idea that they are useless or unwelcome, inadequate for specific purpose or overwhelmed in a great endowment. "The Alumni Fund is impressive because it is made up of hundreds of individual gifts which might not otherwise have been made to Brown University. As an annual con tributor to that important aggregate, the alumnus realized that his money has a power it would not seem to have alone. Each gift encourages other giving and fortifies the result of that giving." The Providence lawyer who made the early gift to the Alumni Endowment said he did so with the feeling that he was creating his own "memorial gift." "Ordinarily," he wrote, "I would feel that the principal of such a small gift should be made immediately available for expenditure for current needs. But I am making this infinitesimal addition to endowment for a sentimental objective, for the purpose of perpetuating my annual contributions to the Alumni Fund." i i ► Engle's Bell Ball ^ '4E'" '^ *'^' "'^^'B IT'S THE NEW GAME developed at Brown by Coach "Rip" Engle and others, gaining national attention through such magazines as The Athletic Journal, through whose courtesy we reproduce the pictures above, taken in zero weather last winter.

Some of the assignments and exploits have heen cited be' cause they were so unusual, others because they were typical. It occurs to us that the readers may have missed the ex- tent and quality of what Brown aviators are doing. This month we're combining and consolidating a bit, covering all the theatres if we can, in the belief that you'll be impressed the more. ► First Brown men to join the "Zero Club" were probably Parker S. Dupouy '.i9 and David McGovern '.^7, flight- classmates at Randolph and Kelly Fields. The latter went to England as an Air Forces observer, the former joined Chennault's American Volunteer Group — China-bound. It wasn't long before Dupouy 's name began figuring in the cables about that picturesque AVG. In one action last April when 18 of 27 Japs were shot down, Darrell Berrigan of the UP said, "The star of the action was Parker Dupouy of Seekonk, Mass., who has been in the thick of every big AVG battle over Burma." "Those Americans are just wiz- ards," said an RAF observer. "It was the finest flying I've ever seen." The month before, Daniel DeLuce of the AP told how the engine of a Zero blew up like a firecracker in a dogfight with Dupouy. Then with seven other Japs hunting for shots of him, he had to break off the action and return to the field to reload his guns. Only one bullet penetrated his cockpit, although the whole thing had started when he and one other Flying Tiger jointly attacked a wave of 27 bomb- ers at 13,000 feet. In the famous Christmas Day battle in 1941, Dupouy lost four feet of his Tomahawk's wing while getting his first Zero but returned safely. Liberty Magazine made a lot of that episode and other exploits in two articles last summer. It told of Vice-Squadron Leader Dupouy and 12 others of Hell's Angels Squadron going up after HO Jap planes, getting at least 40 (at $^00 bonus each, the author said). After that one, "Dupouy 's P-40 surely looked like a honeycomb." He'd joined the AVG, his mother said, "to get action and be with his friends." And if David McGovern was received by the King and Queen of England while abroad, Parker Dupouy served as aide to Madame Chiang Kai-Shek and was decorated by the Chinese Nationalist Government at Chungking with the Chinese Blue Banner award. Home to marry Miss Virginia L. Plummer last October, Dupouy found a Selective Service questionnaire waiting for him. More important was word that he had been accepted as test pilot at the Republic Avia- tion Corporation in New York where the Thunderbolts roll off the production line. These P-47s are quite a jump from the battered planes of Chennault's jungle which a British observer said he wouldn't fly even for a pleasure trip. ► Some of us heard Capt. David McGovern's voice in a broadcast from Australia in July last when Dudley Legit interviewed some flyers of an American pursuit squadron stationed at an advanced base in the southern Paciiic. The squadron, first to go into action against the Japs, Legit said, shot down 25 Zeros and several bombers in less than a month, got a number on the ground and damaged a lot more. McGovern said his first enemy plane was "almost a gift" : "Tommy Jennison and I were leading a flight and here was a fellow straight ahead of us. We just met and he went down. But my best day was the day Casey took a Zero off^ my tail and saved my life. Six of us dived into 12 Zeros, < < TOM LOHR: OFLAG 21B and when I got through with them I looked back right into four blazing guns. Right on my tail blazing away was a Zero only 100 yards away. Casey came in and shot him down. When we landed, Casey said those tracer bullets seemed to tie the Zero and my plane right together." Altogether McGovern got five before he left New Guinea and came home to Providence in 50 flying hours for fur- lough. But all was not victory. Once he was forced down on a remote stretch of Australian beach when his fuel ran out after a long patrol mission. He was without food or water on that beach for three days. When an Australian plane sighted him, McGovern signalled his acute thirst, and the Aussie flew to a base for water. But when he re- turned, the tide had come in, making a landing difficult. "But he didn't hesitate a bit. He came right in, and as he landed his fighter plane, one of his wheels caught a wave which made him ground-loop and crash, killing him. As badly as I needed that canteen of water, I could hardly touch It when I realized this fellow had given his life to help me." After further training in the South, McGovern received his Majority and last month was on the Coast as opera- tional officer of a pursuit group. ► Some fly farther than others. Lt. Joshua Rothstein '41 wrote in April : "I have just returned from a six weeks' overseas trip which took me all through Africa, Arabia, and India. As my plane landed in different parts of the world, I was greeted by a few Brown men who happen to be sta- tioned at far-flung outposts. Among them were Lt. Paul Taylor '41, Operations Officer at an airfield somewhere in India; and Lt. Ralph E. Wagner '36, Operations Officer at a post somewhere in Arabia. Expect to be leaving for an- other overseas hop any day now. Will be looking forwa«l to reading the Alumni Monthly upon my return." \ Even more impressive is the brief note from Major John \ C. Henry '27, also accompanying a check for the Alumni \ Fund. "Since I wrote my 1942 check," he wrote, "I have served seven months overseas with the U. S. Army Air Corps. Two of these months were spent in Russia. During the remainder I touched every continent but Australia and flew 55,000 miles with the Air Transport Command. I found Brown men in several places around the world, in- cluding Moscow." Major Henry is the former Washington newspaperman, President of the White House Correspondents Association when he resigned to enter the service. 244 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY ► "For meritorious achievement" while par- ticipating in anti-submarine flights off the Atlantic Coast in 1942, Junior Barney '41 of Longmeadow, Mass., last month received the Air Medal awarded by the War Depart- ment. Lt. Barney, well known as a Varsity linesman on the 1938 eleven, had been at- tached to a Sea Search Squadron as a bom- bardier in the latter months of his year and a half of service. He came to Brown from Springfield Classical. ► As Brown well knows from its pre-meteor- ological unit, not all fly who serve our war- planes. But not all describe their work as did Clark T. Foster '40, who said, writing from New York this month : "I shall be com- missioned in a few more weeks and then sent to parts unknown to consult local rain gods, rheumatic natives, and the infallible farmer in order to make forecasts for any wandering P-38 that happens to drop in." ► When the Navy finally announced the sinking of the aircraft carrier Hornet, it was learned that Lt. (jg) Kenneth B. White '39 and Lt. (jg) James M. Nestor '41 had been aboard. Although Nestor returned to Provi- dence on furlough earlier in the winter, he did nut disclose even to his father. Dr. Mi- chael J. Nestor, City Superintendent of Health, that the ship had been sunk. A naval Reservist while at Brown, Nestor shipped with the Hornet as a deck oflRcer on Jan. '), 1942. Lt. White, of Diamond Hill, R. L, had won the Flying Cross for dive-bombing a cruiser in the Battle of Midway. In the Santa Cruz fight he had taken off from the Hornet with other members of his squadron for a bombing mission against the Jap fleet. On his return he found the Hornet under attack and was unable to land, finally com- ing down on another American carrier. ► Ensign Robert William Calhoun "43, named on the Navy's April 14 casualty list as missing, was the star goaltender on Brown University's 1940 soccer team. The son ol John William and Irene Dorr Calhoun, he came to Brown from Classical High, Spring- field, Mass. An outstanding player in schoolboy soccer, he tended goal for his Freshman team and easily took over the Varsity berth as a Sophomore. His play on a team that was otherwise but average was good enough to win him honorable mention on the all-New England squad for the year. He also swam tor Leo Barry as a Freshman swimmer and did some work for the Brown Network. He joined Beta Theta Pi Frater- nity. Long interested in aviation, he took C.A.A. work as a student. When he left college after two years, it was to enlist in the Naval Air Corps, taking training at Squan- tum and Jacksonville. A fine boy, he lived up to all the high recommendations sent to Brown by those who knew him in Springfield. ► Lt. William T. Humphries '40 won the Air Medal for his part in the Africa invasion, but a lot of the excitement came on the ground. Trained as a navigator after signing up in November, 1941, he asked to go with the Army Transport Command, and Iceland was his destination last sum- mer. After a stop in Labrador, they reached Greenland when they had to return because of an insufiicient oxygen supply for high altitude flying. In August a cable an- nounced his safe arrival in England. The flight to Africa at the time of the invasion was the longest massed, unescorted troop-carrier non-stop hop ever achieved by the Army. Humphries' plane was one of those filled with paratroops and reached its objectives with the first of the unit. At the airfield which they were ordered to take, he had to take command and, under enemy fire, hold the position until the tanks ar- rived. "Never in my life was I so relieved as when I saw our tanks come in sight, " he wrote afterward. Promoted to 1st Lt., Humphries and his crew-mates were chosen to accompany the American Generals on their inspection tour of the North African area. They were royally received, and one high spot was an entertainment given by a sultan. The fliers were detailed to different Generals, the last for Humphries being Patton. Life maga- zine on March 8 showed him on the steps of Allied headquarters in Eritrea with General Somervell. But Humphries asked to go back with the squadron. "Shaving twice a day was too much trouble," he wrote. > Lt. M.\tthev.' J. SoLTYSi.AK '40, who hit Hawaii "right on the nose" on his first major hop as a navigator, has been hitting the Japs the same way in recent months. The former Brown swimming captain per- sonally accounted for some of the Japs in the big January air victory over New Guinea. Vern Haugland of the Associated Press and Frank Robertson, International IN THE HOTTEST dog fight New Guinea's seen was Matt Soltysiak. His score — two. News Correspondent, both described Soltys part m the battle in their stories of it. His bomber was high scorer for the day with four Zeros wiped out. Of them Solty- siak and the bombardier shared the des- truction of one Jap fighter plane and the damaging of another. Their own plane went home on three motors, with wings, bomb bay, and nose badly battered. Solty- siak and his partner had brought down an- other Jap in a previous fight, the news- papermen reported. It was the hottest dog fight ever to take place over the area, according to Robertson. "Allied bomber crews fired many thousand rounds of machine-gun bullets." Haug- land spoke of the enemy's use, for the first time, of a new kind of aerial control tower technique. A silver Zero plane hovered 1000 feet above the scene of the air battle, directing the other Jap planes. It never left its "pressbox" to take part in the fight. Soltysiak keeps right on with his swim- ming in the South Pacific area, where he has been shooting down Jap Zeros. In a letter to his old coach, E. Leo Barry, written early this year. Matt said: "Had my first swim in two months today. Water very clear, like Florida, but a little too tepid for a cold blooded New Englander." Matt said he was resting by the water while his ship had a new motor put in. "On our last busi- ness trip we ran into a little trouble — 25 of them — " he went on. "Put my second zero up on the scoreboard in the ensuing battle." Of one recent letter from Solty, the censor let just enough through to whet our curiosity. Writing to Dr. Bruce M. Bige- low '24, he said: "Not till the outfit trans- ferred to this field (APO 705, Postmaster, San Francisco) did I read a notice — a bulle- tin on censorship regulations and about all I am able to say is "I am happy and hope you are, too.' Nevertheless I will write of a few incidentals that might be of interest. Christmas and New Year's were spent with no revelry to speak of, for most of the out- fit was out on one of our frequent business trips and more than likely spent one of the holidays tucked in a fox-hole in safety from enemy raiders. "One item that should be rewarded with at least a smile (and there follow five whole lines eliminated by the censor's brush) . . . outstanding item on this Jap is the upturned purple baseball cap he wears. Sincerely, Matt." We'll all have to wait to get the answer on that one. y "We saw smoke shoot up to a thousand feet, with flames 300 feet high," Lt. Robert Holrick Miller '43 reported after paying a visit to Japanese territory in New Guinea. He was co-pilot of a Bill Mitchel bomber which recently blew up Jap installations, setting huge fires to oil and ammunition dumps and shooting several Zero planes out of the skies. Miller left Brown University in Novem- ber, 1941, to take training at Randolph and Ellington Fields, Texas, and won his commission last May. ► The Jap pilot was dead. That wasn't the most interesting fact. What caught the attention of Lt. Robert B. Downes '27 was a gold souvenir the Jap was wearing. Its inscription said: "Pineapple Bowl, 1-1-40, U. of Hawaii 6, Ore. State 39." The Shield of Thea Delta Chi reports that Downes has seen much action. He has been awarded a service ribbon with two stars. ^ ^ > Lt. Thomas Lohr '41, "Little Dyna- mite" on the Brown football field as an undergraduate, is a prisoner of the Nazis after one adventure too many in Flying Fortresses over Axis territory. One of the first Brunonians to bomb Germany, he made many a raiding flight from England begin- ning in the spring of 1942. At one time Sgt. Harris Smith '42, who was in the same bombing squadron, wrote: "Tommy is doing a grand job of 'flying the big ones.' " Transferred to the African front, Lohr made the news stories first the day Gen. Jimmy Doolittle, leader of the Tokyo foray, was a passenger. As the Fortress fought off an attack by three German planes, Tom received a bullet wound in the right arm. Doolittle gave Lohr first aid, helped him away from the controls, and 245 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY took his place as co-pilot. That was in November, and Tom wrote his family he was saving the bullet as a souvenir. Recovered from his wound, he was back in active service. On Jan. 18 he was re- ported missing in action, subsequently listed as a prisoner of the Germans. In his last letter before that ill-fated engagement, he told his sister that he was to receive the Purple Heart and "some citation." Last month his parents received a char- acteristic letter from an officers" prison camp in Germany (OFLAG 21B). "You can start planning meals for me when I get back — something which is more likely now than a month ago," Tommy wrote. "I hope every one at home has stood the shock as well as I have and feels as good as I do now." Tommy, one of Tuss McLaughry's smart- est halfbacks — he was really a scatback, he was so small and so fast — may not impress his German guards because of his size. But friends and classmates who know his spirit and courage are confident that Tommy will not be a docile prisoner. If there's a way out, he will find it — and let his captors toss him for a loss if they can. Fraternities in Wartime > > After Pearl Harbor there were fears that education for war could find neither time nor space for fraternity life at Brown. However, to date fraternity membership has maintained its traditional 50 per cent hold on college enrollment. At present 50.2% of the undergraduates are either members or pledges of the 16 active Brown chapters. A 30 per cent decline in Univer- sity enrollment resulted in a similar decline in fraternity membership.

First to achieve this rank was Francis W. Rollins, of whose promotion and military career the Alumni Monthly told in November, 1942. Now comes William Curtis Chase, son of the late Ward B. Chase "85, whom President Roosevelt nominated in March to the temporary rank of Brigadier General in the Army. Both Generals Rollins and Chase belonged to the 103rd Field Artillery — Rhode Island's own — while they were un- dergraduates. When he received his A.B. degree in 1916, Gen. Chase was a sergeant in Battery A, 103rd FA, which took part in the Mex- ican border campaign and went to France as a unit of the 26th (Yankee) Division. Transferring from artillery to cavalry, he advanced in grades in that branch and held the rank of Colonel at the beginning of this war. He is a graduate of both infantry and cavalry schools, the Army War College, and of the Command and General Staff School "31. He has taught military science and tactics at Michigan State College and has served at numerous military posts. News of his promotion to Brigadier General came a few days after his 48th birthday. ^ Citing Dr. Gamage ► In a citation which also pays a compli- ment to Brown University, the International Associates have decreed a Diploma of Merit to Dr. Frederick L. Gamage '82, former headmaster of Pawling School, in recognition of 60 years as counsellor, guide and friend of American youth. The citation reads: "In the completion of more than a half-century in personal contact with thous- ands of American youth, he has illustrated successfully the philosophy of real edu- cation, not a pouring-in process, but a drawing-out, e-duco. This predicated two fundamental essentials, character and cour- age, so worthily displayed in his professional career. Thus he has eminently interpreted his technical and theoretical preparatory studies at Brown University, a necessary foundation on which he has built a notable life career." i 25 YEARS AGO this service flag hung from University Hall. Today 3000 stars would be needed. 246 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Brunonians Far and Near < < BY ALFRED H.

But the fliers who handle the bombers suffer se- verely from toothache. Which is worse is neither here nor there, but David B. Scott '39 has already begun a study of what causes the tooth- aches. Graduate of the Dental School, University of Maryland, he is now in residence at the University of Roch- ester with his problem to find out — if he can — what is the reason for this new war symptom so that the Army doctors can work out a method to counteract it. Scott will visit air fields, talk with dive bomber pilots first hand, gather all the available data, and then give the problem his whole thought and time. He's a real pioneer, starting from ache, one might say. i pointed adviser and counsel relative to the return of the silver service set used on the old battleship Wisconsin and which will be given the new battleship Wisconsin.

"If we are serious about food, let us arrange our perspective and put first things first," said George, who gave facts and figures and set them forth in his trenchant style. Let the Government tell the farmer, he said, as it has told industry and labor, that "we want food and we are willing to pay enough so that you can afford to push production — put on a swing shift, but get production rolling," and the farmer would respond. "We now have the neces- sity," George concluded. "Add to that the magic touch of profit, and we could have another magnificent result. It is worth a try."

The nasal tenor of William Lynn is ideal casting for the Twitch part, and you'll remember him as the hero of 'Three Men on a Horse,' the mild little writer of holiday greeting cards who also picks race track winners. ... In the Mer- man show Brown University's Lynn is not frustrated, but a frustrator. . . . On any con- test, he'd run away with the Best Support- ing Performance of 1943." Albert J.

He told how his hospital, "built from a few nails, pieces of bailing wire, and lumber from orange crates," was growing, and made pointed comment on the arrogance and cruelty of the Germans toward the native population, "The German way of life and culture, as they call it, is archaic and useful chiefly for the ashcan," he concluded.

Keema, Jr., who was graduated in March from the Midshipmen's School in New York at the head of the class of 980. No doubt Alex blushed modestly when he received a sword from Charles Francis Adams, former Secre- tary of the Navy, as a reward for his high achievement. He is now on active duty at the school - Ens.

The burden is heaviest on Mother. She's getting a taste of the severe budgeting that could become perma- nent, if she were left with inadequate life insurance. No man wants to ration his family for life — for lack of life insurance. With taxes and War Bonds, money for life insurance may be hard to save — - but the effort is doubly worth while in wartime! For life insurance premium dollars are fighting dollars. Through invest- ment in basic war industries — and in Government Bonds — premium dollars support the war program, combat in- flation, and provide protection for American families. Talk things over today with a New England Mutual representative ... so your family won"t be rationed in the pust-war world! New England Mutual contracts meet present-day needs because: 1 DIVIDENDS begin at the end of the first year. 2 CASH VALUES begin at the end of the second year. 3 A PREMIUM LOAN is available beginning with the second annual premium.
