Do Wartime Duties Mean 



Neglect 



For Your Investments? 



THE pressure of wartime duties is making it impossible for 
many individuals to give their investments proper care. 
Yet, we are going through a period when securities require 
closer supervision than ever before. Economic, governmental 
and social changes are taking place which are affecting, in one 
way or another, every investment you own. 

The management of securities requires time, organization 
and facilities for constant analytical study of the many factors 
which affect their value and earning power. These essentials are 
provided under Personal Agency Service, together with the 
physical care of securities, the collecting and remitting of in- 
come, the keeping of complete records of all transactions, the 
making of periodic reports and advising on changes and rein- 
vestments as circumstances dictate. 

This service which the Hospital Trust Company has been 
performing for many years is proving particularly valuable to 
those who at this time are especially burdened. It is designed for 
all who believe that safety of principal should be the primary 
object of investment management, and who look for a stable 
return. 

Why not see what Agency Service can do for you? Our offi- 
cers will be glad to discuss it with you, without obligation.

► ► Introducing the New Brown Men 




BY BRUCE BIGELOW, '24 

Associate Dean of the College 

Chairman, Committee on Admissions 

► ► If you have a friend, Joe Blow, who has recently 
arrived at Brown, and if you wish to write him a letter, you 
svould address it in one of three ways. If he is an Apprentice 
Seaman on active duty, the envelope might read: 

J. D. Blow, A.S., U.S.N.R. 

Caswell Hall, Room 37 

Brown University 

Providence 12, Rhode Island 

If he is in the pre-meteorology program of the Army Air 
Force Technical Training Command, you would use an ad- 
dress like the following: 

Pvt. Joseph Blow, Flight 6 

Training Detachment 

A.A.FTT.C. No. 12 

Hope College 

Brown University 

Providence 12, Rhode Island 

If he were a civilian student, or possible already in the 
armed forces but still on inactive service, you might simply 
write to : 

Mr, Joseph Blow 

Room 200 

54 College Street 

Providence 12, Rhode Island 

One must know whether the student wears Navy blue, 
olive drab, or is still in tweeds (or dungarees) . Regardless 
of what this well-dressed college Freshman is wearing, he is 
a Brown man. He studies in ancient Brunonian halls, 
saunters (or canters) on the campus walks under the braided 
branches of the elms, wonders whether or not Professor 
Blank i.« going to spring a surprise quiz, thinks about a date 



tor Saturday night, and sings Brown songs. Unilorms may 
change the boy's appearance, daily inspections may pro- 
vide a greater incentive for neatness, military indoctrination 
may be responsible for the use of more "Sirs," but uniforms 
do not change personality and character. Joe Blow, at 
Brown, whether a civilian or in the Army or Navy, is still 
Joe Blow with all the distinctive markings that make him 
an individual. 

A large Army group arrived late in May, the new civil- 
ian students started Freshman Week in late June, and the 
Navy trainees reported July first. To find room and board 
for all, and to counsel, examine, and register them was a 
colossal task for the administration and faculty. The total 
Navy group numbers over 600, the Army detachment 
around 400, and the civilians about 350. 

About 45% of the Navy trainees had not previously 
enrolled at Brown and only a dozen of the Army group 
are former Brown Undergraduates. The Freshman enter- 
ing as civilians number 156. For the first time since the 
early days of the University, more than half of the Brown 
student body is made up of new students. These boys are 
already learning to like Brown, and to like one another,' 
regardless of their uniforms or titles — an indication of 
both the adaptability of youth and the strength of Brown 
traditions. We may also salute the officers of the University 
and the commanding officers of the Army and Navy units 
for their efforts in promoting esprit de corps. 
► We believe that Brown's policy on civilian admissions 
is sound. We are eager to admit as many qualified candidates 
as our facilities permit. During the past few months we 
have tried to remember the needs of the boy below draft 
age. We also wished to counsel the youth who already was — 
or was soon to be — eighteen and who would not reach col- 
lege until the war ended. It was estimated that Brown could 



27 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



adequately care for around 150 Freshmen. Never before, 
therefore, was it quite so essential to keep an accurate daily 
count of prospective Freshmen, but never was it so difficult 
to determine the exact number who might enter. 

Scores of boys applied to Brown, eager to secure their 
tickets of admission, but fully conscious of the likelihood 
that they would enter an Army Reception Center before 
they came through the Van Wickle gates. We issued these 
admission certificates to those who qualified, and boys 
have already written from camp expressing their appre- 
ciation for the University's interest. We, therefore, have 
today throughout the States — and soon over the globe — 
many boys who consider themselves to be Brown men of the 
future. It will be a happy year when they return from the 
fronts and climb College Hill. 

It is also a University policy to permit any boy who has 
been accepted for admission to enter, even though his col- 
lege days may be brief. Boys and school men appreciate this 
point of view. For sentimental and practical reasons the 
young man wishes to get started in college. If he does get a 
start, there is a better chance of his pursuing a college edu- 
cation when the war is over. The eighteen-year-old is also 
aware that his chances for Officer Candidate School and 
for the Army Specialized Training Program are somewhat 
enhanced by his acceptance for admission at a good college 
and even more so, by his matriculation. 

We have already said goodbye to a few of our Freshmen. 
Two Milwaukee boys entered Brown as civilians and were 
here only a few hours when Navy V'12 orders caught up 
with them. Like many others, they expected to be called to 
active duty in November instead of in July and they, there- 
fore, wished to gain as much college experience as possible 
before that time. Their orders may have been late but they 
were definite; one took a train back westward to the Uni- 
versity of Wisconsin and the other was sent northward to 
Dartmouth. A few others — also not in the present count 
of 156 — took their Army induction examinations after 
entering Brown, passed successfully and then returned to 
college to gather up their belongings and secure their 
refunds. 

► It is rather surprising, and very gratifying, that we still 
have a geographical spread among civilian Freshmen in 
spite of the war. Naturally, it is not as wide as in peace 
time, but it is satisfactory. One city that I should mention 
again is Milwaukee for it is a strong Brown "base." Three 
schools — Milwaukee Country Day School, Milwaukee Uni- 
versity School, and Shorewood High School — have in the 
past decade sent many a topnotch lad to Brown. One might 
wonder, therefore, why there is no Brown Club of Mil- 
waukee. The fact is that the great majority of these young 
men entered during the past ten years, and although most 
of them have since settled in their home city, they are now 
serving their country in far-away places. Milwaukee, how- 
ever, should have a Brown Club with alumni of youthful 
vigor when victory comes. 

Approximately 70% of the civilian Freshmen hail from 
New England, and 30% from outside New England. Over 
many years Massachusetts has provided about 20% of the 
incoming class. "There she stands." Connecticut and New 
York are the other "steadies" for their percentages seem 
always to be around 7 and 15 respectively. Freshman 
classes usually have a third of their number from Rhode 
Island; in war time the increase is approximately 10"^;-. 
War always seems to bring about a rise in the number of 








AUTHOR BIGELOW is always assured an alumni 
audience, especially when he is writing of new- 
comers to the Brown campus. His article has un- 
usual interest today. 

Freshmen coming from public schools. Ordinarily at Brown 
it is a 50-50 proposition — a happy distribution — but now 
and figures show that about 70% are from public schools 
and 30% from private schools. Few high school graduates 
are now able to spend a transitional year in a preparatory 
school. 

Another change brought about by war, and also aifect- 
ing the school distribution, is the average age of our Fresh- 
men. For many years before the war the average age was 
between 18 years and 6 months and 18 years and 10 months. 
Today, however, the average age of the July entrants is 
17 years and 8 months. They seem young, but we must 
remember that war thrusts the responsibilities of manhood 
upon these lads while they are still in their teens. The boy 
whose mother still thinks the apron strings are attached, and 
the father who admonishes his son to take care in putting the 
car in the garage may soon read of their youngster piloting 
a Liberator worth a quarter of a million dollars, and being 
responsible for the lives of his boyish crew. We have great 
confidence in this younger generation which loves the music 
of Harry James and hates the policies of Tojo. 

Eighteen young men in this July class are sons of Brown 
alumni. Their fathers are spread from the classes of 1898 
to 1925. Four fathers were 1922 and two, 1924. (Makes 
me feel old.) 

There are few changes of note in vocational preferences. 
It may be a bit significant that until the war about 10% 
of each Freshman class was headed for law whereas today 
the percentage is five. I am also wondering what is hap- 
pening to the teaching profession. Only three civiiuin Fresh- 
men listed this occupation as their first choice. Medicine, on 
the other hand, is popular with this class for 17%- of the 
students are pre-meds. 

► My hat goes off to this civilian group. It is not easy to 
enter college in 1943 without a uniform. The glamor of 
youth naturally goes to the Army and Navy, and the 
civilian student has to be made of strong stuff in order to 
go to college at 17 and continue his studies seriously while

waiting patiently tor Uncle Sam to tap him on the shoulder. 
This is true, regardless of the comradeship that exists on 
the campus between the military and civilian students. 

Many hoys feel that they "must get into it right away." 
In one college a brilliant boy, deferred in order to complete 
his scientific training, asked his draft board for immediate 
induction. He wanted to be in uniform. At Camp Devens, 
however, he scored so well in the General Classification 
Test that he was put into intelligence work, and the nature 
of his duties were such that he was kept in mufti. Dis 
consolately, he returned to see his friends, but all he could 
show them was an automatic pistol, a card stating he was a 
Private, and a pair of glasses (for his pocket, not his eyes) 
which he could show and say, "4-F," when some nice old 
lady asked him why he wasn't in the Army. 
► Although the University officers did their best to make 
the civilian Freshmen comfortable and their orientation 
rapid, the Freshmen found their new Alma Mater to be a 
very busy old lady with too many children to feed, house 
and care for. 

All of the fraternities offered their chapter houses to the 
University and leases are being negotiated. No fraternity 
was co-erced to adopt the University plan, but all were 
given an opportunity. Alumni know the condition of fra- 
ternity houses at the close of a college year and can under- 
stand the problems of a University Housekeeper in putting 
them quickly in readiness for use as dormitories. Alumni 
can also understand what a Freshman meant when he saw 
one house before the Housekeeper's department got there 
first, and remarked, "I know now where the Shadow lives." 

Rooms had to be numbered, personal belongings of boys 
now at war had to be stored, and an inventory had to be 
taken of each piece of furniture. The age-old question, 
"what do you do with a drunken sailor?" is easy compared 
to what do you do to a fraternity house to get it ready in 
one week to be used as a Freshman dormitory. And there 
were 16 chapter houses, most of them filled with old notes, 
records, books, beds, pictures, desks, clothing, golf clubs, 
skis, and almost anything you can think of, including the 
kitchen sink — which was usually out of order. 

Ten houses are now in use as civilian dormitories, housing 
200 undergraduates. They are: Alpha Delta Phi, Beta 
Theta Pi, Delta Phi, Delta Tau Delta, Lambda Chi Alpha, 
Phi Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma 
Nu, and Zeta Psi. Two houses will be used as civilian 
Dining Halls; they are: Delta Upsilon and Sigma Chi. 
Four houses, less easily adaptable for use as dormitories, 
are at present closed, but may be used later for whatever — 
the University sees fit: Delta Kappa Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, 
Psi Upsilon, and Theta Delta Chi. 

It is the definite aim of the Administration to assist the 
fraternities during the war period. Alumni organizations, 
and the few undergraduate chapter members remaining on 
the campus, are fully aware of the serious situation that 
college fraternities are facing today, and are grateful for 
the University's policy. Alumni have been extremely cO' 
operative. The fraternity system at Brown can be saved, 
but only by far-sighted planning and determined effort. 
Pledging of new members — civilian or Navy — will be per- 
mitted, but during the war the incentives for joining are 
less powerful than in days of peace. It was expected that 
many of the Navy transfers to the Brown V-12 program 
would be members of fraternities having chapters on the 
campus. Only one such boy was discovered, and thus an- 
other hope for the fraternities was smashed. 




TEARS ON COLLEGE HILL. One phase of Arniv Air 
Force training at Brown was introduction of the pre- 
nietereologists to gas. A tent which served as gas-cham- 
ber was pitched on the lot on the south side of College 
Hill, familiarly known as Adams Park. Soldiers entered 
it with gas-n)asks on, then removed them. 

►Alumni m.w be interested in a few more details concern- 
ing the service groups on the campus. The personnel of 
the Navy College Training Program, all now designated as 
V-12, comes from four different sources: 

1. V-12. These students have been selected by the Navy 
for college training only recently. They come mostly from 
secondary schools and have undergone a rigid succession of 
screenings — -mental tests, physical examinations, interviews, 
etc. A few have previously been on active duty and in 
combat with the fleet. 

2. V-1. These students come almost entirely from junior 
and senior colleges; many are from civilian ranks at Brown. 
They joined the Navy as Freshmen or Sophomores before 
last March and were kept on inactive duty until their recent 
orders placed them at Brown in uniform and under military 
discipline. 

?. V-7. These students joined the Navy as Juniors or 
Seniors, but, except for this difference, they have been and 
are now in exactly the same position as those who were in 
V-1. They should, of course, be an advanced academic 
group, and should soon have their commissions. Quite a 
number of these have been undergraduate civilians at 
Brown. 

4. Naval ROTC. Brown is one of 27 American colleges 
and universities having Naval Reserve Officers' Training 
units. The Brown unit was started in 1940, and all of the 



29 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



200 students now enrolled in it are regular Brown under- 
graduates. 

The newcomers in the Navy College Training Program 
number about half the total V-12 enrollment. Forty col- 
leges are represented, and the sailors come from 14 states, 
mostly New England, Middle Atlantic and Middle West. 
Seven of the Navy group are sons of alumni and several 
more have brothers and uncles who are Brown men. These 
legacies were happy when their Navy orders read "Brown." 

The Navy eats in Faunce House Dining Rooms, they 
attend classes with civilians, they may participate in extra- 
scholastic activities such as the Brown Herald, Sock and 
Buskin, fraternities and athletics. Their day is a busy one 
for the program of studies is rigorous. Reveille comes at 
0600, breakfast at 0700, classes, labs, or study hours most 
of the morning and early afternoon, physical training, 
recreation and athletics from 1630 to 1830, dinner at 1835, 
and lights out at 2230. (Incidentally, the entire University 
is now operating on a 24-hour clock, and many of us are 
still subtracting 12 from the afternoon and evening hours 
in order to find out what time it is.) 

It would be redundant to say that the V-12 students have 
made a good impression on the campus. Indeed we cannot 
imagine College Hill without Navy uniforms, since before 
Pearl Harbor we have had a Department of Naval Science. 
The Commanding Officer is Captain Henry M. Briggs, 
USN, and to him and Dean William K. Selden, the liaison 
officer between the administration and the naval unit, go 
much of the credit for the smoothness with which the V-12 
program got under way. 

Other newcomers at the University are in the Army Air 
Force. (The so-called B unit began its studies last winter 
and will remain at Brown until September.) The C unit 
arrived in late May and is now singing Brown songs with 
the same gusto with which it sings and marches to the Army 
Air Force Song. This unit will be here for a 12 -month pro- 
gram. The C unit soldiers come from 69 different colleges, 
and although each will debate with his roommates about 
the merits of his own institution, all agree that at least 
Brown is second best. The war does encourage a blending 
of loyalties. Three privates were housed together by acci- 
dent, one from Harvard, one from Yale, and one from 
Princeton. No casualties are yet reported. Major Arthur 
B. Campbell, the Commanding Officer, and Professor Gil- 
bert E. Case '25, liaison officer for the University, have our 
hearty praise for a splendid job of administration. 

► Brown men come and go, in peace and in war. The col- 
lege on the Hill may have a different complexion. There is 
more Navy blue and Army khaki than ever before. There 
is more excitement — and yes, many more problems. Never- 
theless, it is still the old college which has lived through 
every war in our nation's history and it is still a place where 
boys "work and play, get tired and rest, lay plans and dream 
of years to come." i i

& Brothers, $2.) 

► ► The moment has come for a great resurgence of faith 
in democracy and in its essential instrument, public opinion. 
Democracy is so vital that the ideal flourishes in very bar- 
ren soil. Let us take two examples. 

Russia could not become a democracy in one swift step 
from Czarism. The Russians could not compress into 
twenty years the long experience of the Anglo-Saxons from 
Magna Charta to Abraham Lincoln. But when the Union 
of Soviet Socialist Republics drew a new constitution, Stalin 
proudly boasted that it was "the only consistently demo- 
cratic constitution in the world." We concentrated our 
attention upon the fact that its democratic principles were 
not put into full operation, overlooking the endorsement 
of democracy by the most successful totalitarian in the 
world. Whatever his practices, he recognized democracy j 
as the ultimate ideal of government — a rare tribute, indeed. I 

No one who knows anything of modern China would 
think of calling it a mature democracy, but all report that 
the people are yearning for democracy; that is their ideal. i 
T. V. Soong, China's Minister for Foreign Affairs, put the " 
matter explicitly: "No Chinese patriot, however blinded 
by his devotion, will claim that China has fully realized her 
own democratic faith. . . . We had to try to develop in a 
few years from a medieval empire to a modern democracy 
against incessant intrigue and finally military attack of a 
Japan who wanted no democracy in Asia. But for all our 
mistakes and difficulties our democracy made us a unified 
nation." 

Asked how his people could progress to the goal. Dr. 
Soong said : "If I could sum it up in a sentence I would say 
that what they want ... is a revolutionary faith on your 
part — revolutionary faith in yourselves and in the possi- 
bilities of democracy and your democratic allies — faith 
enough to let yourselves and the other principal United 
Nations start now — realistically — to build the kind of 
democratic world that can stay democratic after this con- 
flict is over." 

Surely it is a paradox that the United States, which has 
most nearly achieved the democratic goal, appears the most 
discouraged about it. Should not Americans, to whom the 
institutions are available, have as much faith in their ideal 
as the Russians or the Chinese or our other distant Allies to 
whom the rich fruits of democracy are still unattainable? 

► The time is ripe for resurgence of faith in public opin- 
ion. The world is sick of the brutalities of power politics. 
The people are weary of the arrogance of bureaucracy. They 
are tired to death of the multiplication of pronouncements 
and orders and the confusions of documents and reports. 
The moment has come to reverse that trend, which has been 
bipartisan but foolish. The need is to recover our faith in 
the power of reason and in the ultimate significance of the 
individual. 

The moment is not only opportune; there is no time to 
lose. For now we are fighting and the war cannot be won 
upon defeatist assumptions. If we cannot produce, we can- 
not win. If democracy will not work, victory is sterile. If 
individualism is dead, then courage is nothing but an ex- 
cess of adrenalin in the blood stream, nothing but a physical

ALLIMINI RANKS are the poorer for the death of 
Zerhariah Chafee '80, beloved member of the Board of 
Fellows sinee 1929. He was one of four who had served 
the Brown Corporation to die within a month's span. 
(The others: Charles R. Adams '80, Dr. Hermon Carey 
Bumpus '84, and Everett Colby '97.) They will be the 
subject of an appreciative article in the next issue of 
this magazine. 

fact, and of no spiritual significance. If individualism is in- 
valid, then life is really no more than meat, nor the body 
than raiment, and we had best yield up the struggle at once. 
But if we are going to win this war and the peace that fol- 
Kjws, the defeatist trend of twenty years must be reversed. 

We must go back to certain great, simple alternatives and 
make a conscious choice. Issues long evaded now come into 
sharp focus. The time is past for foggy methods of com- 
promise; we have before us the fateful choice of life or 
death. This war is a war between reason and authority. 
It was almost lost by default, so that in France — that France 
which once was so close to us, that France which meant so 
much in the foundation and early life of this nation — 
reason was sold down the river for authority by the men 
of Vichy, with tragic consequences. 

This war is a war between individualism and statism. It 
is a war between the American dream on the one hand and 
Hitler's system on the other. Statism makes the citizen a 
slave; individualism makes the state the servant of the citi- 
zen. It is a war between the ideal of justice and the ideal of 
force; however imperfectly we attain justice, that is, at 
least, our purpose. This is a war, to put it in a single phrase, 
between freedom and slavery. 

Already there are evidences that the ineluctable quality 
uf that alternative is grasped by the public mind. The law 



to draft eighteen-year-olds was passed by sweeping majori- 
ties. The real decision was reached by the people before it 
was reached by either the President or the Congress, which 
is as it should be. It was a triumph of the common sense of 
the man in the street and not a triumph of authority — 
something Adolf Hitler will never be able to understand. 

The right decision was made, but let us stop for a moment 
and ask who makes this demand upon youth. It lays an 
obligation unprecedented in our history. They are to go 
into the front lines. It was said with much candor by 
the Secretary of War and the Chief of Staff that the young 
men would be the combat troops because they have the 
necessary resiliency. 

A GENERATION OF DOUBT 

► The generation who makes this unique demand is the 
same one that has talked incessantly about security, safety 
iirst, isolation — all the gestures which look to escape from 
risk. It is a generation that accepted bureaucratic stagna- 
tion rather than endure the hazards of freedom. It is a 
generation that sought to run away from its responsibility ; 
it defaulted its gold contract and cut the dollar; not con- 
tent with that, it saddled its extravagances upon the future 
by piling debt upon debt until men began to doubt they 
would ever be paid. It is a generation who declared that 
never again would the blood of American boys be shed 
upon foreign soil, and now we have scattered expeditionary 
forces over the face of this globe in a number and on a scale 
that would have passed the imagination of mankind ten 
years ago. 

It is a generation doubtful of its own children. It was 
fearful of their competition; it sought to keep them off the 
labor market, passing laws to deny them economic experi- 
ence, accepting limitations upon apprenticeship imposed by 
private groups, erecting barriers to the trades and pro- 
fessions in ever-increasing number and ever-growing height, 
all in the name of "security." Then it asked the schools to 
establish courses in vocational guidance — a poor synthetic 
substitute for the only valid economic education there is, 
the life of experience. 

Wholly inconsistent, though fearful of its children's com- 
petition, this generation showed itself doubtful of their 
capacity. It has made the work of the primary and the 
secondary schools easier and easier. It has gone so far that 
150 school systems of America have prohibited the grade 
of failure because the children "cannot take it." 

It is a generation doubtful of its children's courage. 
Among my possessions is a letter from a prominent news- 
paper editor asking me to prepare an article explaining 
why the youth of this generation did not believe in anything 
enough to fight for it! Is it because we have bred "soft" 
young men that they prefer the air forces and the Marine 
Corps; doubtless those are the places that put safety first! 

Briefly, this has been a generation doubtful of its destiny, 
defeatist in its economics, escapist in its politics, sentimental 
in its humanitarianism. Now it asks eighteen-year-olds to 
accept the responsibilities it has shuffled ofi", to accept risk 
when it has talked security. Of course, this has to be done, 
but as we ask our children to take the supreme risk, surely 
we cannot do less than accept the hazard attendant upon 
freedom and stop babbling endlessly about security. In 
short, the consequence of defeatism and its attendant de- 
mand for escape into security is always to transfer the risk 
to the next generation, which fights the wars brought on 
by the sins of its elders. The new program should be framed 
in the light of that realization. ^ ^

A Soldier of Brazil 

► Trajano Pupo Netto wrote 
Dean Selden this spring that he was 
waiting his turn to be called into ac- 
tive service in the Brazilian Army. 
"It is always with great pleasure," he 
said, "that I recall the days I spent in 
Brown University, and I only hope 
that when this war is over (may it be 
soon!) I shall have a chance to go 
back to the States and pay a visit to 
my good friends at Brown." 

Pupo (his classmates soon learned 
that "Netto" was the Brazilian 
equivalent of our "Third") was at 
Brown as a special student during 
1940-1941. As leader of the na- 
tional federation of Brazilian stu- 
dents he was and is an important fig- 
ure in the life of the State. i

His Italian Prisoners at Atterbury 

> y Lt. Col. J. LiNPLEY Gammell '16, commanding officer of the H 3 7th Service 
Unit, "which guards and administrates the Internment Camp", was pictured in the 
June 25 issue of The Camp Crier of Camp Atterbury, Ind. The same issue 
published a photo of several hundred Italian prisoners of war attending outdoor 
mass, celebrated by Bishop John O'Hara, vicar ordinariate for Army and Navy 
Chaplains. He "expressed complete satisfaction with the prisoner of war setup 
in Atterbury." 

The Colonel's biographer in The Camp Crier described him as a veteran field 
artillery officer of the Regular Army who was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry 
in action in World War I, during which he took part in four major engagements. 
"Col. Gammell came here from Ohio State University where he was on the ROTC 
staff as professor of military science. He is a graduate of Brown University, the 
School of Fire at Ft. Sill, and the Command and General Staff School at Ft. 
Leavenworth. He also attended Oxford University in England, and was a news- 
paperman and football official for many years. For a time during the last war he 
served with the French army." ^ ^

Reunion in Baton Rouge 

► V "When clippings about the unusual 
reunion of seven Brown men in Africa 
reached us here, we were reminded of our 
own larger Southern reunion," Pfc. Leonard 
S. Sutton '44 from Baton Rouge wrote 
early this month. "Sixteen former Bru- 
nonians from far-flung Army posts met 
once again at another collegiate crossroads 
at Louisiana State University. 

"The entire group swarmed into Baton 
Rouge June 29 to celebrate our meeting. 
Before long we had cornered the tables 
and, as we had done so many times in the 
past, renewed our memories of all that had 
gone by and looked forward to the days 
to come. It wasn't long before the strains 
of 'We Are Ever True to Brown' were 
ringing through the city and turning the 
heads of passers-by. 



"The majority of the fellows are sta- 
tioned at the Army Administration School 
Enlisted Branch No. 4, which has been set 
up at the University. Their program of 
study is devoted to instruction in the ad- 
ministrative and technical duties of a spe- 
cialized clerk. Upon graduation the men 
will be assigned to larger headquarters units 
for personnel or orderly room work. The 
men include: Louis V. Jackvony, Jr., '44, 
Robert O. Case '44, Wm. Austin McCabe 
"43; Abraham Ehrenhaus, Thomas M. 
Walker, James J. Tyrell, Milton Machlin, 
Robert G. Kerr, and John A. Maloney, who 
entered in September '41; Robert J. A. 
Thacker and William J. Alpern, who came 
to Brown in '42. 

"The remainder of the group, number- 
ing five Brunonians, were recently grad- 
uated from Arkansas State College as ad- 
ministrative and technical clerks. Having 
earned the rating 'commando typists', we 
were sent to L. S. U. to await advanced 
classification in the Army Specialized Train- 
ing Program. After assignment we will be 
transferred to other colleges to study spe- 
cialized fields: engineering, languages, 
medicine." 

The group has already been dispersed, we 
learn from other sources. i i 



► ► Who Is That Nazi? 



y ► Who is this Charles Flick-Steger? 

The question is asked each time he is 
mentioned in the American magazines and 
newspapers, usually as a "graduate" of 
Brown University and always as a turncoat 
American serving the Nazis. The latest 
reference was in Louis P. Lochner's article, 
"Eight American Traitors," in Loo\, which 
was accompanied by a photograph of the 
fellow and this caption, "Composer, writer, 
Brown University graduate, now a German 
citizen and Nazi party member, he master- 
minds in China." 

Lochner, describing the unbelievable ex- 
perience of being in Paris in 1940 as the 
guest of the German — not the French — 
army on Bastille Day, wrote: 

"As if to add to the unreality of it all, I 
encountered a man whom I had always 
considered an American. In the fashion- 
able Hotel Scribe in downtown Paris I saw 
Charles Flick-Steger in the uniform of a 
German second lieutenant. He was click- 
ing heels, vociferously shouting, 'Heil Hit- 
ler,' to the German officers who acted as 
our guides. He is now in charge of Axis 
propaganda in Japan-controlled China, 
probably working from Shanghai. 

"I had met Charlie early in 1936 when 
he was dividing his time between composing 
music and writing feature stories for an 
American syndicate. He acquainted me 
with his opera 'Leo and Editra' which had 
just had its premier in Krefeld in the 
Rhineland. 

"Apparently his musical genius did not 
impress itself favorably upon the Nazis. 
But they seemed to believe that this in- 
gratiating intellectual, who once lived in 
Saylesville, R. I., and attended Brown Uni- 
versity, might make a good radio propa- 
gandist. So he was accepted into the Nazi 
party, given an officer's commission, and 
admitted to full German citizenship prob- 



ably about the time war began. When we 
met him in Paris he was doing so-called eye 
witness broadcasts from the German front." 
► Actually, this "graduate" was at 
Brown for one year, as an infantry private 
in the S.A.T.C., a special student in 1918- 
1919. Born in Saylesville, R. I., and named 
Charles L. Flick, he was a graduate of Paw- 
tucket High School. He went to Europe 
soon after the war, studied at the Berlin 
State Academy of Music in the master class 
from 1921 to 1924, and previously at the 
Vienna State Academy of Music in 1920. 
He had studied, too, in Boston, Brussels, 
and Munich. 

Biographical sketches in various musical 
publications speak of him as composer of 
lieder, concert songs, compositions for violin 
and piano, a symphonic poem, a violin con- 
certo, a string trio, two operas, an operetta 
(produced in Holland in 1924), arias, bal- 
lads, etc. An NBC broadcast for July 4, 
1938 included a concert performed by the 
Bad Orb Symphony Orchestra in Bad Orb 



Sub'Sinker Off Buna 

► Lt. Raymond Leary '42 was 
captain of a PT boat which probably 
sank a Japanese submarine five days 
before Christmas at the mouth of the 
Kumusi River, it was revealed only 
this month in a copyrighted Chicago 
Daily l^ews dispatch by George Wel- 
ler. The feat was part of the suc- 
cessful Allied attack on the Buna- 
Sananda front in New Guinea. 
Leary and his crew also successfully 
attacked a Japanese freighter in a 
later stage of the Buna campaign. 
Anti-aircraft guns had been mounted 
on the ship after it was driven on 
a reef. i 



with_ him as conductor. This was part of 
the "official White House program", carried 
coast to coast in this country, and including 
a new composition by Flick, "the inspiration 
for which came to him during a visit to In- 
dependence Hall in Philadelphia in 1936." 
In that year a new opera of his was broad- 
cast over American radio stations from 
Germany. 

Flick was Berlin correspondent of Uni- 
versal Service beginning in 1930. Quentin 
Reynolds '24, in Berlin during some of that 
same period for the UP, says he was glad 
he never knew Flick had ever had anything 
to do with Brown. A writer in the Saturday 
Evening Post also said Flick was the most 
disagreeable Nazi he ever knew, which is 
quite an accolade. Flick married Aline 
Sanden in 1925, presumably a German. 
When he became a Nazi citizen and party 
member, the German propaganda mill made 
a fuss over him as the first American to re- 
nounce his citizenship and turn German. 

Some months after the German occupa- 
tion of France, Flick popped up in the 
Orient. 7iewswee\vjTote on Feb. 17, 1942: 
"As yet unpublicized has been the recent 
use of Shanghai as a proving ground for 
German radio propaganda. The Nazis have 
inaugurated there a program in English 
called 'Mack and Bill', modelled after the 
Berlin programs of 'Fritz and Fred', 'Jimmy 
and Johnny', etc. First broadcast over a 
neutral station, it has since been shifted to 
the German station there. Participants in 
'Mack and Bill' are Charles G. Flick, a 
former Rhode Islander, and a New York 
Chinese-American named Herbert Moy." 
Again on March 17, Newsweek, "un- 
masked" him in a roundup of individuals 
who figure on Nazi or Fascist broadcasts 
aimed at the American listening public. 

The second half of the hyphenated name 
Flick-Steger now employs in his mother's 
family name. His brother, a good Brown 
man and loyal American, served overseas 
with the AEF in the first World War, ris- 
ing from Private to 2nd Lt. in the Field 
Artillery. Divisional manager for Inter- 
national Business Machine in Providence, 
New Haven, and latterly in St. Louis, he 
returned to active service in the United 
States Army with a commission as Major 
this year. 4 i 



In the Mail 



Those Fund Pleas 

June 26, 1943 
Dear Sir: 

Having put my contribution to the 
Brown Alumni Fund into the mail today, I 
am impelled to write you to ask why it 
was necessary for the Fund to send me so 
many communications during the Spring 
months. I figure they spent between 75 
cents and a dollar in order to get in my 
contribution. This seems wholly unneces- 
sary when it was my intention, right from 
the start, to make my gift. 

Brunonian 



Editor's Note: Wc asked the Alumni 
Fund Office to answer this inquiry. The 
reply follows: 

"Your correspondent is absolutely right. 
It ought to be unnecessary to send so many 



39 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



communications to an alumnus who intends 
to make a contribution. He can save us all 
that solicitation very simply. The point is 
that the Fund Office does not know of a 
man's intention to make a gift, if he does 
not tell anyone of that intention. In the 
case in question, wc did not know that he 
was going to contribute until June 26, a 
week before the end of the campaign. 

"The very first request for a contribu- 
tion which he received was accompanied 
by a reply envelope, postage postpaid, in 
which he could easily have indicated his 
intention to contribute if he did not wish 
to send his gift at once. With his intention 
thus recorded, he would not have been 
solicited further. Many alumni like a re- 
minder of a pledge at a date they indicate; 
such reminders are sent, of course. The 
campaign expense would be appreciably re- 
duced if each contributor sent his gift early 
or made a pledge early. We recommend 
that thought to your correspondent. 

"He was loyal enough not only to send 
his gift and also to show his interest in our 
campaign methods. We are very grateful 
to him. It was such loyalty that made the 
1943 the extraordinary success it was. 

"Incidentally, the Fund spent 45 cents — 
not 75 or a dollar — in getting the con- 
tribution of this good Brown man. It in- 
cluded all expenses, not just the mailings. 
A prompt response would have saved nearly 
a quarter." 

The "Central" Brown Men 
A Plaint and a Reply 

Dear Sir: 

I have nothing against the five gentle- 
men from Ohio whose names appeared on 
the Alumni ballot as candidates for Vice- 
President or Director from the Central 
Region. But this region is al.so supposed to 
include — according to the information on 
that ballot — the States of Kentucky, Ten- 
nessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Michigan, 
Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, 
Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana. North 
Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, 
Oklahoma, and Texas. 

What about the balance of these States 
being represented? It is too bad such a large 
territory should be represented only by 
Ohio. There are too many from one small 
section. 

I recommend that the Central Region be 
split three ways — East, West, and South. 

Alumnus. 



y Editor'.? Note: "Alumnus" is really six 
different gentlemen from Chicago, and the 
letter is a composite of their several com- 
ments as written on their ballots. Their 
criticism of the slate suggests that it would 
be helpful to explain the procedure of 
nominating regional officers in the Associ- 
ated Alumni. 

The quotes are from the By-Laws of the 
As.sociated Alumni (Article V, Section 2): 
"Prior to February of each year in which 
officers and Directors arc to be elected, the 
Executive Committee, acting as a Nomi- 
nating Committee, shall recommend to the 
Advi.sory Council candidates for nomina- 
tion as follows . . . (c) At least two can- 
didates for the office of each Regional Vice- 
President and for each Regional Director, 
unless the committee by unanimous vote 
recommends only one candidate in any 



particular case. Such candidates shall be 
nominated from among those recommended 
to the Executive Committee by the Brown 
Clubs of the respective regions (the italics 
are ours) prior to the meeting of the Execu- 
tive Committee at which the nominations 
are to to be made, provided that if less than 
two such recommendations are made for 
each Vice-President and Director, the com- 
mittee may make its own nominations. 

"A plurality vote of the committee pres- 
ent at a meeting called for that purpose 
shall constitute a recommended nomination. 
Except in the cases of the Regional Vice- 
Presidents and Regional Directors, other 
nominations may be made from the floor at 
a meeting of the Advisory Council." 

This year, as usual, the nominations for 
regional officers were solicited from the 
officers of all the Brown Clubs. In the Cen- 
tral Region no nominations were received 
except from Brown Clubs in Ohio. Since 
the autonomy of the regions is specified in 
this regard, and there were a sufficient num- 
ber of Directors nominated, the Executive 
Committee could not name additional can- 
didates, even for greater representation 
among other States in the region. In the 
case of the Vice-Presidential slate, the 
Executive Committee did not exercise its 
privilege of nominating a second candidate 
and by unanimous vote recommended only 
one candidate, the one whose nomination 
had been received. The latter procedure is 



also in accord with the By-Laws, as noted 
above. 

We suggest that the alumni who have a 
desire for wider geographical representa- 
tion among regional candidates make sure 
that their clubs present nominations when 
those are solicited. 

As for the increase in the number of 
regions, to permit the formation of three 
regions from the present territory of the 
Central Region, this should be sought 
through an amendment of the By-Laws. 

Another means of spreading representa- 
tion throughout the regions is provided in 
the following opportunity given to the 
Regional Vice-President: "He may in his 
discretion call an annual Conference of 
these Clubs or their officers (in his region) 
to consider ways and means of increasing 
the effectiveness of the organization and 
work of the Association in his District. He 
shall have power to appoint a Regional 
Secretary or other Regional Officers to 
assist him." The Associated Alumni had 
studied this extension of regional activity 
and had hoped to proceed with a series of 
regional conferences about the time Amer- 
ica entered the war. Nothing further has 
yet been done about such a program. Under 
present travel restrictions, it is perhaps 
undesirable to act further. Perhaps, on the 
other hand, the appointment of additional 
regional officers becomes correspondingly 
important. 



A "Robbie" Collection < m 



May 28, 1943 
To the Editor 
Brown Alumni Monthly 
Providence, Rhode Island 
Dear Sir: 

From the autumn of 1892 to the year 
1926, Edward N. Robinson of the Class of 
1896 was very closely identified with ath- 
letics at Brown University. 

First, as an active undergraduate player 
in baseball and football, then, later, for a 
period of nearly 25 years, as head coach of 
the football team. 

He never had available at his command a 
squad of more than 30, oftentimes, less, but 
year after year he turned out football teams 
playing very difficult schedules; and, un- 
questionably, over that time, year in and 
year out, he was the leading football coach 
among the smaller colleges of the country. 



Ked Wing and a Prayer 

> Arthur Daley wrote it in his 
column "Sports of the Times" in the 
A[eu' TorJj Times for July 12: 

"A unique ball player is the Rev. 
Bert Humphries (Brown '34) of the 
Baldwinsville, N. Y., Presbyterian 
Church. He recently signed with the 
Rochester Red Wings to pitch dur- 
ing his summer vacation, and in his 
first mound start twirled scoreless ball 
for 5 2/3 innings against the St. 
Louis Cardinals in an exhibition. 
Bert financed his way through divin- 
ity school by pitching in the minor 
leagues. Of him it rarely can he said, 
'All he has on the hall is a prayer'." 

i 



Recently, a group of Brown Alumni have 
secured a collection of books relating to 
athletics. Formerly, they belonged to the 
Boston Athletic Association and several 
other clubs and institutions; and, as Edward 
N. Robinson's efforts in behalf of athletics 
at Brown have never been suitably recog- 
nized, his friends desire to establish an ath- 
letic library to be named the Edward N. 
Robinson Collection of Books Relating to 
Athletics. Several hundred volumes will be 
available immediately, together with a mod- 
est sum with which to endow the gift. 

However, the Alumni, generally, are re- 
quested to add to this collection anything 
in the form of books about athletics, which 
would be of interest, and they will be re- 
ceived with thanks. Among the items sug- 
gested are the following: 

Old football and baseball rules; old foot- 
ball and baseball programs; pictures of some 
of the football and baseball groups, say pre- 
vious to 1910 (identify them, if possible); 
and any other literature or material con- 
cerning athletics at Brown or elsewhere. 

In closing this letter, the writer feels that 
our efforts may be of special interest to 
Brown Alumni who were in college from 
1892 to at least 1930; and that the true 
memorial to Edward N. Robinson rests in 
the hearts and minds of the alumni who 
were fortunate enough to be associated 
with him and thus taught by him courage, 
fair-play, the meaning of discipline and the 
will to work with others. 

Respectfully yours, 

The Associated Alumni of 

Brown University 
William P. Burnham, 
President

mon with her sister colleges in New Eng-

of your performance. And as a graduate of 
your school of an earlier era, I take pride 
in my privilege of welcoming you into the

Ellis Ranks, received his diploma in elec- 
trical engineering at the University of

find the same joy in a job well done that 
his grandfather and parents did,"" Mrs. 
Ellis wrote. 

"Batting for the Army and Navy today 
is Fred Tenney, Boston baseball hero of 
yesteryear,"" said a caption under a fine 
picture of Tenney in the Boston Evening 
American, June 7. He was sitting behind

experts urging business houses to sell one 
out of four typewriters for war needs.""

Miss Nancy Grim, daughter of Judge 
Benjamin W. Grim and Mrs. Grim, and 
Ens. George W. McCleary, USNR, of 
Longmeadow, Mass., were married in Provi- 
dence, June 18. The matron of honor was 
Mrs. Richard W. Lisle, the bride's sister, 
and Robert H. Grim was an usher. 

There has already been discussion of 
plans for our 45th reunion in June, 1944. 
Between now and time for the next issue of 
the All'mni Monthly in October world 
events may give us a line on whether to go 
ahead or to delay definite action until later 
in the year. But remember, 1944 is our 
major reunion year. 

Judge Charles A. Walsh, chairman of 
the Providence Salvage Committee, has 
shown the way to other localities by pro- 
viding for a continuous collection of scrap 
metal in the Providence area through the 
aid of the city's highway department. 

Richard Roy Perkins has sent us a change 
of address to 2479 Cedar St., Berkeley, 
Calif. 

1900 

Rev. Dr. M. Joseph Twomey has been 
serving as interim pastor of the First Bap- 
tist Church, Portland, Me. The church 
calendar has carried his picture, with this 
caption in part: "The members and friends 
of the First Baptist Church wish to thank 
you. Brother Twomey, for your willing 
and faithful service as under-shepherd of 
this people during the hour of our need." 

Leonard M. Patton retired last month 
alter having been teacher and principal in 
the Boston schools since 1905. During the 
past 15 years he has been principal of 
William Barton Rogers Intermediate 
School. The graduation number of The 
Jolly Rogers, the school publication, gave 
account of Patton's career as teacher and 
citizen and said: "Mr. Patton has kept the 
human and sympathetic touch in his deal- 
ings with both pupils and teachers." At a 
dinner in May his colleagues praised his 
many-sided work and presented him with 
a gold watch and chain, and an order for 
travelers' checks. 

Rev. Arthur O. Pritchard of Sierra 
Madre, Calif., was among the men and 
women given special recognition at the June 
20 service of Beneficent Congregational

ol full time Christian service." The recog- 
nition ceremony was part of the 200th 
anniversary program of the church.

Your Secretary records with regret the

1901 

Henry C. Hart's election as President of 
the Associated Alumni for the next two 
years is gratifying to all of us men of '01 
who are familiar with our classmate's un- 
flagging interest in alumni work through 
the years. He has served with distinction 
on the Executive Committee, as Regional 
Vice President, as officer of the Brown 
Club of Providence and in other capacities. 
Then, too, he has had one term as Alumni 
Trustee of the University and has been a 
member of the Athletic Council. 

"Dr. Harvey N. Davis, is an American 
educator in whom we put a great deal of 
faith," said a recent editorial in the Provi- 
dence Journal and Evening Bulletin. "But 
when he says that every four years the 
citizen of tomorrow will be trading in his 
all-paper house for a new one, we hope 
he's wrong, because that's going to make us 
even more restless and discontented than 
we are, especially if Mr. Sikorski joins Dr. 
Davis with his helicopter." 

Roy H. Smith has written us that Frank 
H. Westlake died March 3, 1943, and that 
he has seen no report as yet in the Alumni 
Monthly. Regrettably this is the first 
news that we have had, and we arc now 
trying to learn the details from our late 
classmate's survivors. 

Although Thomas H. Kenworthy, assist- 
ant principal of Buckingham Junior High 
School, Springfield, Mass., has reached re- 
tirement age, he will continue in service 
for the duration. He is the first Springfield

gency act passed by the Massachusetts 
Legislature in January, 1942.

Providence. 

When the Argentine revolution took 
place, our thoughts were with Lewis E. 
Young, a resident of Buenos Aires at Ave- 
nida Roque Saenz Pena 567. We were 
glad to have word from him mailed June 7. 



She Found V» Skimpy 

> Philomlna Hart, columnist for 
the women's pages of the Provitience 
Sunday Journdl, is conducting a cam- 
paign for the Improvement of Read- 
ing in Doctor's Waiting Rooms. 
Among items in her own doctor's 
periodical collection was "a copy of 
the Brown Alumni Monthly, not 
exactly thrilling reading to a non- 
Brunonian, but gossipy and newsy 
and with an occasional mention of a 
familar name . . . rather skimpy for 
a rapid reader, though." i 



Botanist in the Air 

> With 150,000 dried plants, 7000 
photos, and many movies. Dr. T. 
Harper Goodspeed '09 has returned 
from his third trip to the Andes since 
1935. Thirty thousand miles of his 
travel was by air, and he roved from 
the Equator to Patagonia on his 
errand as Director of the Botanical 
Garden at the University of Cali- 
fornia at Berkeley. 

During his year and a half in Latin 
America, he also represented the 
Committee on Inter-American Artis- 
tic and Intellectual Relations. He 
showed color movies and gave 200 
lectures in Chile, Peru, Colombia 
and Argentina. 

We'd like to have seen him going 
through customs on his return. i

World War, is back in uniform again, this

tus of Prospect Congregational Church, 
Cambridge, Mass., was the preacher at

ber of Beneficent, now observing the 200th 
anniversary of its founding.

Lloyd W. Josselyn, writing from the Al- 
bert A. Wells Memorial Library in La-

appointing year after year not to be able 
to get back to the campus, to old friends, 
and to the spirit of youth." 

Henry W. Corp, interned by the Japan- 
ese in the Philippines, is "all well and safe",

► ► Scholarship Holders 



> > Lawrence G. Van Horn, outstand- 
ing as a student at Belleville High School 
in New .Jersey and also at Peddie School, 
is the recipient of the Club Scholarship 
from the Brown University Club in New 
York. He arrived at Brown with the sum- 
mer Freshmen with plans leading to chem- 
ical engineering. 

Van Horn came highly recommended. 
One of the top five scholars and a cum 
laiide graduate of Peddie, he also played 
varsity football and baseball. His member- 
ship in the orchestras at Belleville and Ped- 
die was a natural result of his proficiency 
and promise as a violinist.

headed by Jeffrey S. Granger '13, with the 
following membership: Dr. Bruce M. Bige- 
low '24, Walter Deady, Jr., '14, Wayne

fore we can harvest the vegetables which

ment in having a Brown, 1908, Department

ence of receiving a front-page editorial.

as in the life of the body. 
1910 

Henry B. Thacher, superintendent of the 
grounds and buildings of Amherst College 
since 1921, received the honorary degree 
of A.M. at the Amherst Commencement. 
"In summer sun and winter blizzard, in flood 
and hurricane you have maintained con- 
tinuous operation of the college plant," his 
citation read in part. "No detail has been 
too small for your vigilant eye. And with 
unfailing patience you have met or par- 
ried the demands of Faculty and Faculty 
wives." 

Dr. Albert Farnsworth's hobby of col- 
lecting little known facts about his adopted 
city of Worcester, Mass., was the subject of 
a special story in the Worcester Sunday 
Telegram not long ago. "He knows more 
about the history of Worcester than nearly 
anyone else in the city," said the writer, 
"and has written a book, as you might ex- 
pect, about some of the most important facts 
in the city's history." Farnsworth is Pro- 
fessor of History at Worcester State 
Teachers' College and vice-chairman of the 
Worcester School Committee, of which he 
has been a member 18 years. His book, in 
which George B. O'Flynn collaborated, is

son David was graduated this spring from 
the University of Nebraska with an A.B. de- 
gree, is in training and headed for OCS at 
Ft. Sill, Okla. It's a great life if you don't 
weaken!"

Billy Lynn goes on his merry way as the 
meanie Tobias Twitch in "Something for 
the Boys," musical hit of the season on 
Broadway. "I'm so mean I'm contemptible,"

The Athletic Council 



< < 



y y Access of three new members to the 
Brown University Athletic Council July 1 
saw the attendant retirement of three 
others, including Chairman Clinton C. 
White '00, who "has been through every 
phase of athletic development in Brown 
and in addition has figured in a number of 
major projects in Brown athletics." 

Writing of Mr. White's retirement as a 
Corporation member of the Council, Joe 
Nutter '24 in the Prouideiice Evening 
Bunctin pointed out that he had been man- 
ager of varsity baseball as an undergraduate 
in an era where a manager's responsibilities 
were heavy. He made the schedule, planned 
the trips, and carrying much of the load 
today borne by coach or graduate manager 
of athletics. His most notable achievement, 
perhaps, was in heading the stadium com- 
mittee which financed and built Brown 
Field.

which he has just completed was a lively 
one. On the agenda during that time were 
such events as the departure of an entire 
football coaching staff, the assembling of a 
new, the illness and later departure of the 
athletic director, the appointment of two 
acting directors, the onrush of the war with 
increasing restrictions on travel for players 
and spectators, schedule complications, sum- 
mer terms, and military service. Even physi- 
cal fitness programs and war gardens have 
entered the picture. 

Mr. White left office with the praise of 
his colleagues and other followers of Brown 
athletics sweet on his ears. He had proved 
a capable leader during a period of great 
stress and greater uncertainty, keeping in 
mind the reputation of the University, its 
academic fundamentals, the financial im- 
plications of athletics, and the responsibili- 
ties to undergraduates. 

Succeeding Mr. White as Corporation 
member and as chairman is Albert H. 
Poland '09, Providence investment counsel 
who has been active in a number of im- 
portant Rhode Island civic enterprises. He 
is the son of the late Prof. William C. 
Poland '68. 

The new alumni member is Lewis S. Mil- 
ner '02, retired Providence business man, 
a close follower of Brown athletics, espe- 
cially football, and a benefactor of the Uni- 
versity in many ways. He succeeds Paul H. 
Hodge '28, former Iron Man and line coach 
now practising law in Providence. 

Another change in the Council member- 
ship involves the retirement ot Prof. Robert 
F. Chambers '09 and the appointment of 
Dr. John W. Lederle, Assistant to the Dean 
of the College. Prof. Chambers has had an 
association with the direction ot athletic 
policy pre-dating the formation ol the Ath- 
letic Council. He was a leading figure on 
the special committee concerned with pro- 
motion and publicity. ^ ^

professionally an archaeologist. What 
more natural then than that he 
should visit the Auckland Museum 
when he had some leisure hours dur- 
ing his military duties in New Zea- 
land? And what more enterprising 
than that the museum authorities 
should ask him to lecture on a topic 
in which he is well founded? The 
result was a series of talks given by 
him on the American Indian, a sub-

Taylor is chairman of the Committee to 
Balance the Budget Through Sensible Econ-

York has taken a lively and outspoken dis- 
like as a result of the Committee's criticisms

Hoving came right back, suggesting "Big

Where Private Schools Are Strong 

> > Private schools are a vital force for this country, the Very Rev. J. Hugh 
Diman, O.S.B., recently told a Xew York World-Telegram interviewer. Their chief 
advantage, he pointed out, "is the liberty they enjoy owing to their freedom from 
State control and, in such case, independence from the slightest touch of political 
influence. This freedom permits them to draw upon all the educational forces, 
spiritual, intellectual and material that help to mold complete manhood." 

Their great weakness, he went on, "is that they have to depend upon his tuition 
charges for support. . . . But I have never ceased to hope that they might become 
schools for the rank and file of our people, with a fair sprinkling of the definitely 
rich and definitely poor on either side of this general average. This I am sure 
would be the best thing that could happen to American education." 

Father Diman, graduate of Brown in 'Sf, knows whereof he speaks. He was 
founder and headmaster of St. George's School, Middletown, and founder and 
headmaster of Portsmouth Priory School, of which he is now headmaster emeritus. 
An old St. George's boy said not long ago that he considered Fr. Diman one of 
the truly great headmasters of all time in this country. i i

These Are Obstacles 



^ ^ A COUPLE of months ago we ran as 
our cover a photo of some of the Brown 
students going over one of the obstacles in 
the "commando course" now set up on the 
lower campus, once known as Lincoln Field. 
We've been asked of what it consisted. 

There are two courses, really, the other 
one indoors in the Lyman Gym, and oc- 
casionally the two are combined for an 
extra special workout. The indoor course 
is no gentle warm-up: It starts out with a 
20-foot rope climb, is followed by 75 feet 
of tumbling on mats, an indoor adaption 
of the standard culvert through which the 
student has to crawl, a stair climb, and two 
laps on the gym's indoor track. Then, the 
boys perform a handwalk on parallel bars, 
take 10 strokes on the rowing machines, 
chin themselves several times, and romp 
another lap of the track before a hand- 
swing the length of a 100-foot ladder sus- 
pended from the ceiling. Five minutes is 
the minimum allowed. 



Outdoors two laps of the field start pro- 
ceedings. Then comes the hand-over-hand 
travel-bank, a frame ladder for hand-and- 
foot climbing, and a balance-beam. Up the 
embankment on a log-run, around the be- 
wildered statue of Marcus Aurelius, and 
down another flight of log steps. The last 
stretch includes a seven-foot scaling wall, 
a five-foot vaulting fence, and through a 
three-lane culvert, which teaches the boy 
to stay down. Twice around is the course, 
and Chief Specialist Charles P. Catanese, 
USN, head of the physical fitness program 
at the University, varies it by having the 
students carry an occasional pack or pipe- 
gun. All the coaches have been assisting, 
and there is real coaching on style and 
technique. 

Physical fitness of the Brown under- 
graduate, which improved 30% through the 
winter, continues to improve. Small 
wonder. i i

have been lively ones. At the American Em- 
bassy in Buenos Aires during the Argen- 
tine coup d'etat, he has now seen two suc- 
cessful revolutions, for he was, of course, 
at the embassy in Madrid during the civil 
war siege. 

A new son, born to the Walter Ensigns 
June 29, had not been named as this was 
written. The announcement consequently 
does not appear with those of other births 
in this issue. 

David J. Colbert is at Columbia for six 
weeks' study this .summer. He expects to

Army, Navy, Marine Corps, change of 
addresses, and the like. 

Don Allmon is officially known as Lt. 
Donald Allmon, Navy Advance Base, Navy 
140, c/o Fleet Post Office, San Francisco, 
Calif, Mrs. Allmon reports that his home 
address is 20 Fox Meadow Road, Scarsdale, 
N. Y., but it looks as if Don would be a 
long time hitting that address. 

Howdy Post dropped me a card from 
Spencerville, O., saying he was leaving for 
the Army. It was rather cryptic, but it was 
just like Howdy to say what he wanted to 
quickly and to the point. 

Bill Almy's address is indefinite and will 
be for some time, but he didn't say whether 
or not he was in the Army. All we can re- 
port is that he is out of mail circulation for 
the time being. 

From a note on the bottom of a letter I 
sent him, Archie MacDonald says he will be 
in the Army shortly. 

Dick Clarke reports he is a Lt. (AV(g), 
USNR, at Quonset Point. He has been 
there since just before Christmas. He is 
Personnel Officer of the Operations De- 
partment and he says his office is like a 
greenhou.se overlooking the training field. 
His wife and two boys, Richard age 10 and 
Craig age 5, are there with him. 

A letter sent to Taunton to Lloyd Dennis 
brought back a note frcmi Mrs. Dennis.

boy choristers of St. Dunstan's School to 
New York in early June for an appearance 
at the Stage-door Canteen. The boys had 
I 500 soldiers and sailors to cheer them on 
and "they stopped the show," wrote Jack 
Martin, the Providence Journal corre- 
spondent. "The place has not been so

Exploring the Brown Bear 

► The Brown Bear continues to 
be on the map, this time in a novel 
way. Nicholas Volk, New York in- 
surance broker, tells about it as he 
writes of his son. Ens. Austin N. 
Volk '41 in a letter to John A. 
Anderson, Treasurer of the B. C. A. 
Graduate Committee: 

"Austin has been in the Solomon 
Islands for the past five and a half 
months as Commanding Officer of an 
L. C. T. boat. He has had quite 
some experience in moving from 
island to island, but he wrote to his 
mother and me recently that he had 
a little time off. So he used one of 
the small Japanese folding boats 
which they captured from the Japs 
at Guadalcanal. Attaching an out- 
board motor to it, he made an ex- 
ploration trip up one of the rivers, 
which he discovered was uncharted 
and unnamed. I believe he intends 
to name the river 'Brown Bear', as a 
compliment to Brown University."

word of him in service.

Bulletins You Didn't Read About the War 

► ► The Navy did not report these consequential events in any of it« communiques; 

1. One of the platoons of the Navy Unit at Brown solved a problem in an 
effective way. An agreement was reached voluntarily to facilitate matters during 
the rush in the short period of time allowed the students for their morning shaves. 
The blonds are required to shave at night and the brunets in the morning. 

2. In a lecture on Naval Organization, the V-12 students were told that holding 
a Pembroke girl's hand was no excuse for not saluting an officer. 

3. A request was recently received from the secretary of one of the large Provi- 
dence churches, asking Brown to furnish ushers for a Naval wedding since the 
groom knew no men in the Navy here who were available. The Commander of the 
V-12 Unit did not authorize such an extra-curricular activity. 



"Had a visitor, Lt. James W. Gurll, 
USNR, my former roommate, and we had 
a nice game of golf together," wrote Chuck

attached to Brown than to Syracuse Uni- 
versity." 

John M. Volkhardt has been promoted 
to office manager of Vitamins Plus, division

Seymour Berkman is Chief Weather Ob- 
server and student forecaster at the AAF- 
AFS (TE), Turner Field, Albany, Ga., 
and reports the work very interesting. He 
occasionally sees F. K, Wood, who, he says, 
is Captain and CO at Dorr Aero Tech, the 
Primary Flying School in Albany. "Very 
popular and probably the youngest officer 
entrusted with running a flying school," 
Berkman says. 

1941 

Stanley J. F. Johnson has received a 
citation for translating the Soldiers' Hand- 
book into the Norwegian language. Stan 
is stationed at the 36th Street Airport, 
Miami, Fla. The sympathy of the class goes 
to Stan in the loss of his father, Capt. Peder 
A. Johnson, veteran of 41 years in the 
Maritime Service, who was lost when his 
vessel was twice torpedoed off the Atlantic 
coast last month. Gordon Johnson '45, now 
in the Merchant Marine, is another son. 

Dave Ebbitt is back on the Hill as in- 
structor in English of the Army's "C" 
Meteorological group. "I was married Dec. 
28, 1942, to Wilma A. Rohb," he tells us. 
"I've been periodically drafted since that 
time, but am still teaching. . . My wife 
too, is instructing in English here at 
Brown." The Ebbitts have an apartment at 
134 Benefit St.. and Dave says he is eager 
to hear from old acquaintances "who are 
probably leading more exciting, though per- 
haps less pleasant, lives than I am." 

Walt Juszczyk is pitching for the Paw- 
tucket Slaters of the New England Victory 
League and in this fast company is showing 
the stuff that made him a winner in a Brown 
uniform. 

Dick Sonis (engaged, a correspondent 
tells us) is studying at the Dental College, 
Northwestern University, and is enrolled 
in the USNR. 

Mrs. George F. Affleck writes that her 
husband, a graduate of the Submarine 
Chaser Training School at Miami with an 
Ensign's commission, is "somewhere in the

Irwin Tobin, who received his advance 
degree with the class, is now on the Faculty 
of Rhode Island State College, but remains 
as Director of the World Affairs Council 
of Rhode Island. 

Another graduate student. Dr. John G. 
Herriot, is an instructor in mathematics at 
Stanford University. 

Now that Richard W. Hubley has his 
commission of 2nd Lt. as a bombardier in 
the Army Air Corps, he's "just hoping for 
the chance to get over there and take up 
where Bill Erick.son left off." "It's coin- 
cidental the way our choosings followed 
each other," he points out. "We were both 
DKE's in the Class of '41, both were on the 
VC and Brown Key, and both dropped out 
at the end of our second year. It was a great 
shock to read about his death, and hard to 
believe. I first saw it in an article called 
'Clay Pigeon Squadron' in the Saturday 
Evemn^ Post." 



Clifton S. Gustafson and Clifford S. 
Gustafson graduated and were commis- 
sioned as Ensigns from the U. S. Coast 
Guard Academy ROTC at New London 
May 19. The twins continued their co- 
operation by sending a joint gift to the

team July 13. 

Jim Cunningham has his commission as a 
Marine flyer, following work with land 
based bombers at Corpus Christi. He ran 
into several Brunonians there: Bill Paine, 
also a Marine Lt., and P. J. Klein "42, 
now an Ensign, "and of course Big John 
Occhiello, who is now an Ensign at In- 
structors School, Rodd Field, NATC 
Corpus Christi." 

1942 

Ed Donahue "33 writes that his brother 
Don, who left Brown at the end of his 
Junior year to accept his USNR commis- 
sion, is now a Lt. (jg) on active duty. 

There are few better correspondents 
than Ens. John Sapinsley. "It was good to 
hear from the campus," he writes. "I can 
say I'm in North Africa, in command of a 
vessel, as is Ens. Al Shea '42, who is here 
with me now. I have seen Lt. Giles Mac- 
Ewan "41, Ens. Phil Porter "41, Ens. Len 
Blazar "42, Pvt. Mike Cooper "42, Lt. Jack 
Dorrance '44 here and have heard Lou 
Duesing is here, too."" "Is anybody at 
Brown a civilian student getting a liberal 
education?"" he asks, "or are they all in 
Reserves and taking prescribed courses?'" 
We hope that question is answered satis- 
factorily elsewhere in this issue. 

Earl F. Luther won his Navy "Wings of 
Gold" and his commission as Ens., USNR, 
late in June at Pensacola. Designated a
