BROWN UNIVERSITY'S SERVICE FLAG, presented by the Associated Alumni was un- furled on Coniniencenient Day. Three typical students of today pose under it — a member of the Army Air Forces detachment, a civilian, and a V-I2 Navy trainee. (Phoiu Lib phoio; NOVEMBER, 1943 Vol. XLIV, No. 4 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 cf 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 i:ot see what Agency Service can do for you? Our offi- cers will be glad to discuss it with you, without obligation. ..

XLIV NUMBER 4 ► ► In Compliment to Ed Robinson ► ► "Greats, near-greats and scrubs", as Joe Nutter '24 called them, turned out to pay their compliments to Edward North Rohmson '96, coach of 24 Brown Varsities on the evening of Nov. 1 . The occasion was the formal presenta- tion to the University Library of an unusual collection of books, pictures, and other souvenirs of American athletics which now bears the name of the great coach. In the gathering of 200, called together by the Friends of the Library, were representatives of all of his teams, and messages from other former players made the roll call almost complete. Robbie received a great ovation as he responded to tributes from William Earl Sprackling '12, AU-American quarterback, who is now vice-president of Anaconda Wire: Furber Marshall "19, Rose Bowl player and Bendix executive from Troy, N. Y., and William P. Burnham "07, whose purchase of the former Boston A. A. Library provided the nucleus of the collection. Former football manager. Judge John S. Murdock, classmate of Robbie and vice-president of the Friends of the Library, presided, while Librarian Henry B. Van Hoesen accepted the gift with thanks and invited participation by others in building the collection further. Already it is the outstanding collection of books on ath- letics in any American college, and many of Robbie's former players have already sent their own items. The picture collection of the late Charles H. Huggins, trainer and coach, a scrapbook from the late Fred W. Woodcock "91, one of Brown's greatest pitchers, and other valuable, nos- talgic offerings have been received. ► It w.as an evening of memories, and the best appropri- ately, were provided by the coach himself. He told how he had come to Brown instead of to Amherst, where he had intended to go. He'd taken a summer job to earn money with the Casey brothers (who were in the audience) wait- ing on table in Bar Harbor. One of the guests. President E. Benjamin Andrews, told me he'd like to have the boy come to Brown and promised him a $100 scholarship. Robbie took him up on that, arriving in Providence with $15 in his pocket. He found the crowd at Brown friendly and he enjoyed the dinners and other fraternity invitations that followed the rumor he was a football player. They practiced on the Middle Campus, concrete walks and all, and they worked out with a tackling bag hung from a tree. You missed the bag and you hit the concrete walk. There were 30 on the squad, 1 1 on the Varsity and the rest lined up to give competition. He reported, wearing his baseball suit and patent leather shoes, and he had to ask where left guard was when the captain assigned him to that post. But he could run (""kind of grandstand") and he once grabbed the ball and eluded all but one, a boy supposed to be named McCarthy. It was really Ned Aldrich '93, whose father didn't want him to play. A tackle by him was the way a great, lasting friendship started. When Robbie came to, his head was in the lap of President Andrews, who was ministering to him. A MILESTONE in Brown football history was the 6-6 lie with Yale in 1895. Judge John S. Murdoek '96, manager of the team, who presented the football to the University, is shown with one of his players, Edward N. Robinson '96, at the Library night in honor of the former coach. John Murdock, he said, was a great manager, who worked his team to death. He booked four games in eight days, once. After a Saturday game, they went to Brooklyn for an Election Day contest, returned by "sleeper"" for a Wednesday game at home, and then tied Yale 6-6 on Satur- day for Brown"s first great gridiron achievement. Robbie raced along, touching the highspots of his play- ing and coaching. Byron S. Watson "97, he said, was the first college player to play with glasses on under a special protector. He recalled Charlie McCarthy, later the famous Wisconsin Progressive, Dr. Frederick W. Marvel, "Big"" Smith and "Iron Joe" Coulter, who had died so recently, and a host of others. ► The formal story came from Sprackling, who, as spokes- man for Robbie"s players, told of his achievements and the deep affection all his men gratefully bore him. Burnham told how the idea of a collection had started, together with' his hopes for it. And Marshall kept the evening bright and gay, as it should have been, with so much that was human and triumphant to remember. Never, someone remarked, had so many football men been found in the library before; never, certainly, had a long Brown roared out in its pre- cincts. Seldom had it roared out for as fine a man, anywhere. Continued on page 97 87 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Fall Graduation < ► ► Again it was Commencement. And this time there was the anachronism — in modern years, at least — of the prO' cession to the First Baptist Meeting House in October, and there was the stern dominance of the mihtary uniform over the academic robe and mortar-hoard. The day was Oct. 25, and it saw graduated, eight months ahead of season, what may prove to be the largest class that will receive degrees during the war — 151. Twenty-seven Seniors received their commissions as Ensigns in the Naval Reserve as a part of the graduation ceremony, while a do~en men were permitted to return for the day and its rewards from the V-12 officer candidate Marine detachment at Yale. These latter, too, received diplomas from their own Univer- sity, where they had studied for seven semesters. Eight degrees were awarded in absentia, to men already on active duty with the Army or Marine Corps or already at work for advanced degrees in science elsewhere. Seven- teen advanced degrees acknowledged graduate study at Brown. President Wriston not only awarded the degrees in course but also conferred the honorary title of Doctor of Laws upon John Schoff Millis, President of the University of Vermont, and Victor Lloyd Butterfield, President of Wes- leyan for the past three days. Dr. Wriston had spoken at the inauguration at Middletown and received the honor- ary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters. Traditional pomp accompanied the march to the church, but without the unit of the Army Air Force Training De- tachment the line would have been short. Still, its com- ponents were there : the High Sheriff, Corporation, Faculty, alumni and graduates (101 from the College, 42 from Pembroke) . Heading the procession was G. Myron Leach, Senior president; his father was proud to be in the alumni delega- tion behind him. E. Tudor Gross '01 was Chief Marshal and Frederick A. Ballou, Jr., '16, Chief of Staff. Aides in- cluded: J. D. E. Jones '93, John A. Gammons '98, Fred A. Otis '03, Denison W. Greene '24, and Kent F. Matteson "28. Marshals were: Henry G. Clark '07, George Hurley '07, Albert A. Baker '84, Prof. Robert F. Chambers '09, Prof. Herbert N. Couch, Brenton G. Smith '11, Dorothy G. Vernet '34, Prof. C. Raymond Adams '18, Prof. Norris W. Rakestraw, Arnold K. Brown '27, Lewis S. Milner '02, Henry C. Hart '01, J. Cunliffe Bullock "02, J. D. E. Jones, Jr., '23, and Duncan Langdon '13. ► Two Seniors, David F. Leonard of Ann Arbor, Mich., and Hermes C. Grillo of Providence, were the speakers at the exercises, discussing the post-war world and its respon- sibilities. The former felt the lack of a program today, ex- cept to defeat the Axis, and the making of a principle out of no principle, "to avoid being disillusioned again." The challenge to our generation is to determine the nature of tomorrow. Grillo pleaded to keep alive the communal effort of 1943, directed toward winning the war, toward rebuild- ing, with the same full expenditure of money and talent. We must keep alive the co-operative energy of wartime, for constructive purposes in the world of peace. Dean Arnold announced that, "in recognition of aca- demic achievement and patriotic devotion. Brown Univer- sity has awarded Certificates to all students who have with- drawn to enter the armed services of the United States." Nearly lf)0 new names were added to this list since the June Commencement. FROM HIS WIDOW the University received the portrait of the late President Clarence A. Barbour '88 on Com- mencement Day. Trustee Harold B. Tanner '09 acted as Mrs. Barbour's agent in presenting it; Chancellor Henry D. Sharpe '94, left, accepted it. Although the Seniors dispensed with Class Day, they observed "Spring Day" the week before graduation and held a successful Senior Dinner and a joint dance with Pem- broke Seniors. The Baccalaureate was preached by Presi- dent Wriston, and the Senior Reception rounded out the program. ► From the Associated Alumni of Brown the University received on Commencement Day a service flag which now flies from the southern balcony of Faunce House. On it is a blue star representing 3685 Brunonians in the armed forces and a gold star with the number 28 below it. Since the time of its unfurling, the number of war dead in alumni ranks has risen to 37. Presented in the same luncheon ceremony were portraits of the late President Clarence A. Barbour "88 and Professor Emeritus Raymond C. Archibald. Spokesman for the Associated Alumni was President Henry C. Hart '01, who said: "For more than a century and three quarters, in times of peace and tranquillity and in times of stress. Brown men have made notable contribution to the establishment and the defense of our American way of life. In the present war emergency, as in similar tragic circumstances heretobefore, they are nobly responding to their country's call." Address- ing Dr. Wriston, he continued: "The brilliant and courageous manner in which you, sir, and your administration and faculty have met the exacting requirements of an armed campus, have attracted our ad- miration and we salute you. "We are mindful of the many other Brown men of the faculty and of the alumni who, in laborator>% industry and government, are today materially aiding in the war effort. "At the last reckoning 3,685 men of Brown were actively engaged with our Armed Forces and 28 had fallen in the conflict. There will be a greater number enrolled and un- fortunately hut inevitably more will pay the final price. These fighting men are crusaders, giving their all in defense of our liberties. We of the Alumni arc saddened by the cruel necessity in which they are engulfed, but we glory in their response to the challenge and wish to do honor to them for their truly sacrificial service. 88 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY PROP". ARCHIBALD'S portrait was coniniissioneH by some of his friends, presented on their behalf by Prof. C. Raj-niond Adams '18, right. Vice-President James P. Adams received it for the University. "In tribute to them we tender to the University this serv- ice flag as a symbol of the pride and affection with which Brown men everywhere cherish those sons of Brown who are fighting our battles. May it also symbolize our own rededication to the cause of liberty, justice and humanity and may it waft to heaven our prayers for speedy victory." Co>iIiiiHL"ii oil pdgi.' J 05 In Their Fathers' Footsteps ► Among Seniors graduated Oct. 25 were the President of the Class and the President of the Cammarian Club and 1 .1 other sons of Brown alumni. The Cam Club leader was Nathaniel M. Marshall, son of Alvin I. Marshall "08, of Malone, N. Y.; the class oiBcer was G. Myron Leach, son of Albert E. Leach "09 of Barrington. Other second generation Brown men were: Samuel C. Damon, son of Dr. Samuel R. Damon "16, Montgomery, Ala.; Thomas H. Davenport, son of Elmer F. Davenport "16, Thomaston, Conn.; David C. Fernald, son of Charles B. Fernald "01, Upper Montclair, N. J.; Paul P. Henson, Jr., son of Dr. Paul P. Henson "14, Hyannis, Mass.; George M. Hindmarsh, son of Alexander T.

Army 59, Brown 0. A Classes and Class Officers ► Sentiment that Brown University classes should hold regular elections of officers was embodied in a vote by the Board of Directors of the Associated Alumni at a recent meeting. Some classes, it was noted, continue the same officers in charge without recurring sanction. It was pointed out that there was nothing to prevent a class from re- electing Its officers if it so chose, but "officers should not be maintained year after year, unless they deserved to be and unless the class so voted." The Board"s vote : "The Associated Alumni emphatically recommended that each Brown University class should hold an election of its officers at least every five years. The Secre- tary was directed to notify each class of this vote and to request that it he read at the next reunion of each class. The Brown Alumni Monthly would be asked to publish this statement of policy."" i Armistice Day on the Campus ► More than 1500 members of the University community observed Armistice Day at Brown this year. All work on the campus stopped at 1 1 o"clock for the moment of silence in honor of the Brown men who have given their lives in their country "s service. At noon both the Army and Navy units at the University marched in review in a brief cere- mony on the Middle Campus, with President Wriston, Capt. Briggs of the Navy, and Capt. Webber of the Army in the reviewing group. The Brown Band, composed of civilians, Navy and Army trainees, played the Star Spangled Banner and the marching music. At the other end of the Middle Campus, the Brown service flag hung from a Faunce House balcony. Its gold star now honors 37 former Brunonians, in addition to nearly 4000 symbolized by the blue star. i On Two Broadcasts ► Brunonians stationed on Puerto Rica felt close to home last month when a half-hour radio broadcast from the Antilles Air Command praised Rhode Island in its weekly "48-Gun Salute". The program was presented in the form of an imaginary trip to Little Rhody, and one of the stops on the tour was at Brown University. Transcriptions of the program are expected to be sent to other Army outposts for rebroadcasts. Even more personal was the broadcast of Nov. 10 over Station WGY and a national hook-up on which Prof. Charles Sr.iiley of the Brown Faculty appeared to describe his method of "Navigation with a Watch."" More and more widely his method is being accepted, and his problem is to speed up the printing of his instructions and simple tables on waterproof paper. The Alumni Office has contracted for copies for Navy and Army Air Force alumni. i At the Second War Congress ► "Widely-known and highly respected as one of Amer- ica's most perceptive and dynamic advocates of the free enterprise system, President Henry M. Wriston of Brown University will address the huge assemblage of industrial leaders gathered at the annual banquet closing the Second War Congress on Friday evening, December 10 in the Ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria,"' says the NAM J\iews. "A particularly convincing and articulate speaker, one who is acutely capable of inspiring and challenging Amer- ican Industry to reach new heights of achievement, Mr. Wriston is expected to base the theme of his address on his widely read hixik — 'Challenge to Freedom'." i 89 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY New York Explains < We as\ed the Executive Secretary of the Brown University Club in A[eu' Tor\, T^ewton G. Chase '09, to present the following statement. It ivill clear up for many persons a misunderstanding they have held with regard to the Club: ► ► At various times, Brown alumni from other cities, not members of the Brown Club in New York, have commented on the fact that they are not permitted to use the facilities or stay at the Club while in New York without being spon- sored by a member. Through a lease with the Princeton Club, our Club shares its complete facilities. The building, however, is managed by its owners, the Princeton Club, not along the lines of a hotel where bills are on a cash basis but rather as a conservative club with a statement for hcus; charges rendered only monthly to members and their guests. As a part of our contract with the Princeton Club, we have to guarantee the accounts of all men using the club as our guests. Therefore, every unknown applicant for privi- leges is a credit risk until his ability to pay is established and for that reason the House Rules of the Brown Club permit only members and guests sponsored by members to use the Club. Before a non-member is granted guest privileges, it is necessary for him to obtain from a club member a guest card, which has been prepared for the purpose, signed by the member or to present to me a letter from a member sponsoring him as a guest. Then, too, it must be remembered that, as a membership organization, the Brown Club derives most of its revenue from dues collected from its members. Its management con- siders it unfair to the pay members to allow the same privi- leges they enjoy to non-members except through sponsorship by members as their guests. Although applications for membership are subject to the approval of the club's Committee on Admissions, inquiries on the subject are welcomed and descriptive literature about the club will be mailed upon request. The annual cost of a non-resident membership amounts to only $11.10 at the present time, consisting of $10.00 for the dues and $1.10 for taxes. Hotel accommodations in New York are almost impos- sible to secure and room reservations at the Club are fre- quently diificult to obtain without adequate advance notice. Nevertheless, many of our out-of-town members are making their headquarters at the Club while visiting New York and appreciate this added service. New York has the only Brown Club with complete facil- ities of its own. It is endeavoring to maintain its high stand- ing among the college clubs of New York. Especially dur- ing the war period, we therefore seek — and deserve — the support of eligible Brown alumni through additional non- resident memberships. i Books, Bonds, and Brown ► The Brown University imprint on the Rhode Island Books and Authors War Bond Rally this fall was so marked that Master of Ceremonies Clifton Fadiman raised his eye- brows and made comment. It started when Arthur Train, author of the Mr. Tutt stories, remarked that his father knew the town well since he was a member of the class of 1837 at Brown. Myles Standish '20 cajoled his audience into pledging vast sums for "Mr. Tutt's stove-pipe hat" and manuscripts by par- ticipating authors. And A/S Kenneth W. Gavitt, USN, a member of the V-12 unit at Brown, spoke for the men in FIRST CERTIFICATE for Produelion Ideas from a Government worker went to Mrs. Mary M. Murdook under the new awards system of WPB's War Produrtion Drive. Lt. Col. Kenneth D. Johnson "19, Signal Corps Labor Officer, makes the presentation, while W. Ellison Chalmers '25 looks on approvingly. Chalmers, who spent three years in Geneva as liaison officer for the U. S. Department of Labor at the International Labor Office, is Chief of Staff of the WPB Drive. (OWI photo) service as a veteran of Pearl Harbor and North Africa. Co-Chairmen of the rally were Prof. I. J. Kapstein and Winfield T. Scott '31, while several volumes in the "book draw" were of Brunonian authorship. i Repatriates from the Orient ► ► When Gretchen Penelope Whitaker grows up, she will have a story to tell her chums and later, perchance, her children and her grandchildren For she was born Oct. 2, 1943, aboard the liner Gripsholm, which is bringing re- patriated Americans home from the Far East, Her father is Charles H. Whitaker "33, former American Vice Consul at Manila; and her mother is the former Harriet Randall of Rumford. Besides her parents, Gretchen's brother Paul, four years old, and her sister, Andrea, two, are coming home after having been prisoners in Japanese hands since the Philippines fell. Marc. T. Greene '03, writer and journalist who has been missing since the Japanese went into the Philippines nearly two years ago, is also on board the Gripsholm. Repatriates, too, are the son of Henry D. Lane '80 and his wife, for more than a decade resident on the campus of Hokkaido Imperial University at Sapporo, Japan. Mr. Lane, senior, made his home with them from the time he went as a guest teacher himself. He died in Japan shortly after Pearl Harbor. 4 Brown University Plates Available ► The 1938 prices still prevail on Brown University Wedgwood Plates, and nearly 50 sets are available for the Christmas demand. Hundreds of Brown homes throughout the land now boast these plates, IOJ/2 inches wide, hand engraved in brown sepia on the ivory Queensware, with an embossed border. The centres feature six different campus landmarks of sentimental and pictorial interest.. The prices (express from Boston postpaid) are $18 per dozen, $10 per half-dozen; single plates at $2 each.

GIRNEY -07 1878 ► ► William Ely reports his winter ad- dress is 1216 Eighth St., Coronado, CaHf. 1884 Commemorating its first President, the late Dr. Hcrmon Carey Bumpus, the Audu- bon Society of Rhode Island has published a brochure telling in a simple and natural way (as Dr. Bumpus wanted it to he told) the story of the naturalist who "became a guide who carried a torch that never went out." Alice Hall Walter, wife of Professor Emeritus Walter, wrote it, and her work is a pleasure and a privilege to read. 1887 U. S. Senator Theodore Francis Green, celebrating his 76th birthday last Oct. 2, left his tennis racket hanging in the closet on that day of days — a rare occurrence in his routine — and as a mere spectator watched the Navy-Cornell football game at Baltimore. "Time is rather crowded today," he told reporters. "Otherwise I would cer- tainly try some tennis." 1888 Francis H. BrownelTs proposal for the return to the full gold standard, including the free coinage of the metal, has appeared in T/ie Monthly Survey of Guaranty Trust Co. of New York, and has won considerable notice, favorable and unfavorable, in the press. Editorially, the T^ew Tor/( Herald Tribune didn't like the idea of "intern- ational bimetallism" at all. Rene Leon, writ- ing the Herald Tribune, in connection with the editorial, praised Brownell for "seeking something that will work. . . . Having on his side man's well nigh univerasl attachment to the precious metals, he presents his case for international bimetallism as the most suit- able monetary standard for the post war world. And a very sound plea it is, however unfashionable with latter-day economists." Brownell is chairman of the board of Amer- ican Smelting y Refining Co. 1895 The Class Scholarship, together with a similar award from the Class of 1908 went this year to Edmond N. Morse '44, who came to Brown from McDonough School, Baltimore. A fine student and an outstand- ing boy was Assistant Dean William K. Seldcn's description of him. Morse, who had been in the Marine Corps Reserve was called to active duty upon graduation last month, two semesters ahead of schedule in accord with the acceleration of wartime education. One of the chief actors in the film, "Crys- tals Go to War." is Dr. Walter G. Cady. Foss Professor of Physics at Wesleyan and discoverer of the potentialities of the quartz crystal for use in radio. The film, according to a news story, "is a popular description of his invention and the technical processes of today which have grown out of it." 1897 One of the best pictures of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., we have ever seen was pub- lished in an October issue of V/ho — When — W/iere with the caption: "John D. Rockefeller, Jr. submits patiently and in good humor to a battery of cameras at a press conference in The Drake, Chicago." Your Secretary, George L. Miner, is the newly named manager of the Compliance Department, WPB, Providence. Wilbur Allen Scott lawyer and former Representative in the Rhode Island General Assembly, died in Edgewood, R. I., Oct. 2^, 1943, after an illness of three months. To his wife and family the Class extends its earnest sympathy. Hs two sons are Brown men — W. Carlcton Scott '24, and Dr. Ken- neth A. Scott '29. 1898 Dr. William Adams Slade, retired from the service of the Library of Congress a year ago, is living at 342? Ordway St., N.W., Washington D. C. John A. Gammons and Mrs. Gammons of East Greenwich have announced the mar- riage of their daughter. Miss Daphne Flor- ence Gammons, to Lt. (jg) William R. Brown, USNR, at Quonset Naval Air Base, Oct. 16, 1943. Lt. Brown, graduate of Fordham, was in the RCAF before joining the Naval Reserve. Your Secretary records with regret the death in Providence, Oct. 7 1943, of Judge Howard Bowen Gorham, and gives to his family the full sympathy of the Class. An able and forthright Judge, he served 27 years on the bench of the Sixth District Court in his native city, and had been secre- tary of the Rhode Island Bar Association and of the Criminal Law Revision Com- mission. Return from Firxt y ^ We've always known that Fred W. Woodcock '91 was one of the greatest pitchers baseball developed. We'd never known until the other day how he became a pitcher. Mr. Woodcock wrote about the episode to a Iriend last summer shortly before his death. The portion of the letter devoted to that tale has come to the University as a part of a scraphook of Woodcock memorabilia included in the Edward North Robinson Collection through the courtesy of Mrs. Woodcock and George J. Holden '91. ". . . That Tribute to Mr. Rolfe was fine. I had him as my Greek teacher here at Gushing. You may laugh when I say that it was Mr. Rolte who started me as a pitcher. He was pitching for our team one day and, in trying to catch a base- runner off first base, where I was playing, he threw over several times without success. I wore only a very thin glove and he was terribly speedy. After I figured he had shot enough at me, I finally shot one back at him. He immediately walked over to me, handed me the hall and said: "You pitch this game. You have more speed than I have." So. ever after that I was supposed to be a pitcher," i i 61 Years as a Charm ► Now rounded at the corners and worn almost paper thin, a Phi Beta Key owned by Dr. Frank L. Shepard- son. Professor Emeritus of Greek at Colgate University, has seen 61 years of continuous service as a watch charm. Dr. Shepardson re- ceived the key at the end of his Junior year at Brown University in 1882, and it has never been off his watch since except for the brief time needed to fit it with a new head after the old one had worn danger- ously thin. Dr. Shepardson was on the Col- gate faculty 38 years before his re- tirement in 1932. He was Principal of the academy from 1896 to 1912 and from 1912 to 1932 was Treas- urer of the university in addition to being Professor of Greek. i 1899 Associate Justice Charles A. Walsh of Rhode Island Superior Court is Judge Ad- vocate of the State Department of Spanish War Veterans. At a recent ceremony in his office at the County Court House he re- ceived the medal emblematic of his post. He served as a seaman in the Spanish-American War, temporarily interrupting his college course to enlist. Wallace R. Lane and George B. Utley are members of the Advisory Council of the Brown Club of Chicago. John A.

He and Mrs. Grose live on South Rd., King- ston, not far from the college. Your Secretary reports with regret the death of Daniel Everett Bellows, Director of the Division of Engineering, New York State Department of Labor, in New York, Oct. 11, 1943, and gives to his wife and family the sincere sympathy of the class. 91 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 1904 Dr. Arthur Upham Pope's much talked of hook, '"Maxim LitvinofF," came out in mid-Octoher, the first in English about the Russian statesman. The biography, pub- lished by L. B. Fischer, runs to 530 pages. Maj. Edward S. Smith, CE has ended his tour of duty with the Army and is back at his desk as Profes,sor of Mathematics, Col- lege of Engineering and Commerce, Uni- versity of Cincinnati.

Marble, CE, with the En- gineer Section in North Africa, said in a recent letter: "Am keeping in good shape and hope to have acquired a fair brown tint before the bleaching or washing season comes along. The chow is still chow, but a melon or fresh tomato helps wonderfully. They say the Navy will soon be bringing in "coke' and ice cream. That will be Der Tag for most of us." Wiley's chief complaint is that he has not yet caught up with any Brown man in his area. Miss Rosamond Harris Seidel, daughter of Mrs. Harry G. Seidel and our late class- mate, and Lt.

Mrs. Chadwick and their young daughter live at 93 South Angell St., Providence. Lt. Col. F. B. (Fritz) Wiener, JAGD, has moved from Washington to Hq., 1st Island Command, somewhere in the South- west Pacific. "Saw Pat Kenny '25 soon after I arrived, " he wrote in mid-October.

The last we knew of Spike's whereabouts, he was in Washington, and we presume that is where he is making his home. Heard indirectly that Phil Lingham has moved to Pittsburgh where he will be Pur- chasing Agent at the Nuttall Works. This is a step ahead and one that brings great pleasure to those of us who know how hard Phil has worked in recent years. Herb Codlin wrote in to give us his new address which is 291 Vauxhall Street, New London, Connecticut. He married Lorraine Liacono in May, 1941. Lorraine graduated from Pembroke in 1932, so Herb has had plenty of opportunity to get acquainted. He is at the present time Assistant Super- visor of Planning and Schedule at the Electric Boat Company in Groton, Con- necticut.

Uoit ble-Hender ► One of the boys sent to Brown University under the Navy's V-12 program ought to go a long way in the service. He was taking an exam in one of his studies the other day when the professor saw that he had two exam hooks and was writing first in one, then in the other. Curi- ous, the professor walked over to see what was up and noticed that the same answer was being written in each book. "How come?" he said, in profes- sorial words to that effect "What's the copy for?" "I don't know," the sailor said. "But the Navy tells us to write every- thing in duplicate." ^ R.

Jack Sayward spoke right out for the railroads in a letter to the T^ew Yor\ Herald Tribune not long ago; and the editor gave Jack's contribution first place on the edi- torial page. "Let's try to stick to the most economic ways of doing things," Jack said. "Mass transportation by rail will remain the most economic way of transportation for freight and for most passengers. . . . It's not economic for airplanes to stop at every back yard." 96 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 1935 George S. Daiigherty, Jr., put in plenty of overtime during the past summer and early fall at the canning plants of the Daugherty Co., of Pittsburgh in Wilson, N. Y.

From most of them came messages of appreciative greeting. We're privileged to quote from some typical letters, for tfiey are rich in anecdote as well as compliment. It's appropriate to start off with one from Clifford S. Anderson '00, general counsel of the Norton Company in Worcester, a former Alumni Trustee of Brown. He re- engaged Robbie after the latter had made an auspicious debut in 1898 as Brown's first graduate coach: ". . . This honoring of Robbie brings back to me interesting recollections. In '99 I was elected manager of the football team, with- out having had the experience as assistant manager, and found myself at once faced with the duty of selecting a head coach. Charles McCarthy and Edward N. Robin- son were candidates lor this position, and pressure from various groups of alumni in favor of one or the other was heavy. Mc- Carthy had a good reputation as a coach at Wisconsin and great ability as a high kicker and a lively and expressive vocabulary. Robbie also had an excellent reputation as a coach, who without sacrificing punch pos- sessed perhaps more diplomacy than Mc- Carthy. I decided to engage him, and I never regretted the decision. "Robbie was versatile, and it was fortu- nate that he was a scholar as well as an athlete and a coach. Frequently after a hard afternoon's practice, Robbie would sit down with one of the members of the squad whose scholarship was in question, aid him in his 'home work,' and bring it about that the faculty did not have to rule him off the squad. "The "99 season was a successful one with notable performance by the team against Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Chicago. Joe, the old clothes man, in carrying out a prior promise, presented a member of the eleven with a pair of trousers for making the first 97 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY touchdown against Pennsylvania. At Prince- ton, Richardson stole the ball from the enemy on the one-yard line and made a touchdown which tied the score. "We were invited to Chicago by Alonzo Stagg for Thanksgiving Day, since his usual classic game had been eliminated by friction with the opposing team. Wisconsin and Michigan immediately staged a morning game in Chicago, while Brown and Chicago played at Marshall Field in the afternoon. We were somewhat worried with regard to the attendance, but special trains were run from the morning field to the afternoon field, and a large proportion of the fans en- joyed a doubleheader on that Thanksgiving Day. Chicago won 12 to 6, largely because one of the Brown squad eluded Robbie's careful superintendence and took a little stroll down the primrose path during the night before the game. He turned up as a weak spot in the Brown lineup. Bennie Andrews was on the sidelines with a big horn following the plays up and down the field. "The season was financially profitable with a profit of $6000, an unheard-of perform- ance for football with the exception of the team managed in '96 by John Murdock. In other years, the baseball teams furnished the surplus to finance the football teams. The receipts of the Chicago game were the great- est element in the good financial show- ing. ..." > Lt. Col. LeRoy Bartlett '02, USA ret. wrote from Berkeley, Calif.: "I played on the Brown team of '98, "99, and "00 and at West Point in "01, "02, and "03. Nearly half a century has passed, but I still think that there is no one who ever played under Robbie who is not the better for having known him. He was and is that kind of man. "My choicest recollection is the fact that I played on the Brown Varsity in the first game of my Freshman year, though I had tried for my high school team for three years and never had made it. I had however played almost every Saturday morning on a kid"s team down on old Lincoln Field. My brother, Dwight, was a Senior then and he and his friends and almost everyone else who was not in class used to come down and watch us. Moreover, I was bald-headed, and that made me as conspicuous as if I were one-legged and had a crutch. I had enlisted the Spring of "98 by telling them that I was 18 and had spent the whole summer down at Quonset Point. We were ordered to Puerto Rica, and some joker with a pair of horse-clippers had come along while I was sleeping in my tent and taken a big chunk out of my hair. I had the rest cut off. In- stead of going to Puerto Rica, we were given a two-months" furlough, and I came home and entered Brown. We had no head guards in those days, and the six-inch mop of hair that most players wore was a rea- sonable facsimile thereof. "While 1 had always played halfback, I told Robbie that I A-as an end because Fred Murphy and Hoppie Hunt, the two regular ends, were Seniors. The first game was with Tufts, and Fred had a bad knee, and Hoppie a sprained ankle, so I was put in. I had never played a game at end, and we had never had a scrimmage. We only had 23 men on the .squad, and everybody had to be well before we could have a scrimmage. In those days, an end used to play seven or eight yards out on the flank, and his sole duty was to turn the play in. Nobody had ever told me that, so I lined up one a yard and a half outside Hapgood. The first play I went charging in, and here was the play coming my way. The Tufts team was even more surprised than I was, so I tackled the interferer, carried him back into the ball carrier, and got them both. Nate Tufts was the referee (We always had home town boys). He patted me on the back and said, 'Nice work, kid." "Rusty Richardson was the half behind me and saw that I had no idea of what it was all about. He said, 'Listen, Bart, you get the interference, and I'll get the run- ner." That suited me fine. The next time they tried my end I threw myself sidewise into that bunch of backs and knocked all three galley-wise, and the runner fell over them. In the second half they tried my end just once, and from then on I roamed all over the field, having the time of my life. Every man in their backfield had a charley horse. "The next Monday Robbie called a scrim- mage and told me to play just as I had on Saturday. I had no slightest idea of why but did as I was told. That Saturday we played Harvard, and I sat on the bench, but Hunt, Murphy and Slocum had a field day with the Harvard backs. Bowditch of Har- vard adopted that style of play, and it was called the 'Harvard smashing end." Sic tran- sit gloria. "The next year we went 1000 miles out to Chicago. That was the first long-distance trip ever taken by any football team. We ate our fool heads off on the train, and we were like a lot of overstuffed pigs. We were out before a crowd of 25,000 when we were used to thinking 2500 a big crowd. "Chicago ran all over us m the first half. Between halves McCarthy, the old fullback, came in and gave us a pep talk, and we ran Chicago ragged. Rusty Richardson ran for a touchdown. Robbie has developed a very remarkable line of open field runners. The list is long and notable, but Rusty was a than whom there was no whomer. Stagg put on a special defense for him. Whenever Rusty had the ball, every man on the Chi- cago team not immediately chasing him ran back and formed a line of skirmishers across the field between him and their goal. Once it did not work, but the referee claimed that he had stepped outside. "In 1900 we went out to Chicago again, stopping at Niagara Falls en route, and that time we beat them. The night before the game a Chicago substitute who had been kicked off the team came ot Robbie's room and offered to sell the Chicago signals for $2'i. Robbie heaved him out in a hurry, and we highly approved. That was the way he taught us to play the game. "We were using signals that year where we added the second and third numbers. As Chicago lined up for their first play, I un- consciously listened to the quarterback, and those two numbers were a 7 and a 4. The play came around my end. A few minutes later they again tried my end, and the num- bers were 9 and 2. Chicago was using the very same system that we were. I told Bill Bates, and in a very few minutes we had every signal. We never told Robbie until after the game. Bill developed his own set of defense signals. If the play was to be through Hapgood, he called out something to Tim Sheehan, the other tackle, and so on. A few years ago I told this story to Alonjo Stagg. He said that he had always wondered how we had succeeded in stopping Slaker, his huge halfback, so successfully. "I have only one further story. Having received an appointment to West Point, I dropped out of college after my Junior Christmas and went back to Hope Street High School to coach up on my French and geometry. There were no eligibility rules in those days, and I played on the high school hockey and baseball teams after having played on the Brown Varsity for three years. . . . "From out of the Goldes West, we send our very deep affection to Robbie and add, 'Carry on, Brunonia.' " Letters -^ Telegrams, letters, tliey came poiiriTig in to the Alumni Office for Robbie. Here are some excerpts — we wish we could pri7it them all: ^ "Get up off those knees, you ain't pray- ing now!" You may not remember saying that, Rob- hie but I do. I wish I could get up off them now as I did then. Yes, we are getting old, bald, and a little (?) over-weight. It seems a long time ago since you were putting us through our paces, including that extra lap around that track. Much has happened since those days. Why, I had a son graduate from Brown in "41. He is now a Captain in the Air Corps. I am very happy you are being remem- bered this way. I want to add my congrat- ulations. Carl J. Grabb '20 Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Painted Post, N. Y. ► You will have to go back to your first year of coaching at Brown to find my name on the long list of fortunate young men who, during the many years since 1898, have come under your kindly, helpful, and wholesome influence. That was the begin- ning of my last year at college. There was one advantage, however, in coming when I did. While I regret that I could play only one year under your guidance, I am ever- lastingly pleased over the fact that I did have an opportunity to see you and envy your accomplishments as a football player. One outstanding recollection is of seeing you take the ball at the Thayer St. end of Lincoln Field, reverse against the entire op- posing team, and go to the base of the statue at the other end for a touchdown. I have forgotten whom Brown was playing and I have forgotten the score, but I shall never forget that run of a long-legged halfback. Julian Chase '99 Chilton Company, Philadelphia. * * * ^ It seems to me you represent all that is fine in sports, giving everyone who played for you a love and respect lor the game and for yourself. I can't remember your ever being anything else hut all man and all gentleman when I played under you. Ive played under a few coaches and on a lot of teams, but the one team I can never forget and the one I think was the greatest I ever had the good luck to be a member of was the I9I7 aggregation. Remember? Pollard, Purdy, Marshall, Williams, De- Vitalis, Hillhouse, Farnum — all were gone, 98 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY and only a few inexperienced hopefuls with rickets and fiat feet to build on? Brooks, Armstrong, Gordon, Coulter, Ink Williams, Grabh, Albright, Bowman, Murphy, Josh Weeks, Sinclair, Moving. You said one time : "I don't see how you fellows ever win a game. You aren't fast, you aren't big, you can't think, but I never saw a bunch fight the way you do." And it was a fact. We beat "em all that year except Syracuse, and they beat us 6 to 0. We played together with the spirit of one tor all and all for one, and I am proud to have been a member of that team. I have often told my kids out here about it, when- ever there is occasion to point out the value of fight and faith and unselfish, concerted effort. You had teams that could wipe that bunch off the face ot the earth, but you never had one that enjoyed playing together more, nor who deserved what they got more. And talk about Iron Men — most of us played through every minute of every game. "Rats," I remember, was held together by adhesive tape most of the time. I wish we could all be together again and sit down and talk it over with you. I wonder where we would fit in with your mind's mosaic of memories. There io no doubt in mine where you would fit in with ours. Banty Coulter '20 Cranbrook School, Bloomfield Hills, Mich. ► Things seem to have moved too rapidly to have permitted visits to Providence as often as I should like, but that does not mean that Brown and the friends I made in college aren't frequently in my thoughts. I have benefited from the precepts of sports- manship and well-being which you taught and know they are responsible for a sub- stantial portion of my real fun. ... I hope that you have maintained your keen interest in these "better things in life" and that I may see you sometime to talk about them. Fred Cross '26 Counsel, the Glenn L. Martin Company, Baltimore. ► How gladly I salute you on this mem- orable occasion — not with a tome, which I could easily write on the subject, but with a brief note. I would thank you, as I have many, many times since, for what you did for me at Brown. More important, I would .have you know that you have left so much more of yourself with us than you will ever realize, all of which we have cherished and held in affectionate recollection. Don Rubel'23 Parrish & Co., Philadelphia. * * ^: ► . . . Robbie was a gentleman in every respect, always sympathetic and tolerant . . . 1 can remember when I landed at Brown as a Freshman I thought I knew something about football, but I soon learned I didn't. Robbie, I believe, reversed every single thing I had been taught in prep school, and he did it in a way that I could see he was right. As I remember, two of his funda- mental principles were: 1. Keep on your feet. 2. Keep your eye on the ball. Any good player I have ever seen did those two things, and I have seen many poor players who did not. Robbie was the best line coach in the U.S.A., as well as being a man of high principles and character. I am glad to see him get this honor of a perma- nent nature there in the library, A. K. Westervelt "09 Ames Trust y Savings Bank, Ames, Iowa. ► I don't think Brown University can ever be grateful enough for what Robbie did for it. Not only did he turn out some splendid football teams which made history, but he put the sport on a level and on a standard of sportsmanship, honesty, and enthusiasm which has never been equalled by any uni- versity that I have heard ot. I personally learned much from Robbie, although, I must say, I was not too apt a pupil in the actual game of football, al- though God knows Robbie tried hard enough to teach me. There were lots of other things that I learned which I have been able to use ever since graduation. One of these was Robbie's technique of leader- ship. He always handled his men with dig- nity. Everyone always knew what was ex- pected of him as well as of the total team. He made the objective extremely clear, which is most unusual and is not often found among the many leaders of today. Robbie infused enthusiasm for the objec- tive, and no man ever felt that he wasn't part of the total plan. He never made his men feel degraded nor did he ever swear at them. He got his results by making them feel uplifted and infusing them with the worthiness of the ultimate goal. My hat's off to Robbie as a fine coach, an able leader, and a great American. Walter Hoving '20 President, Lord 6? Taylor, New York. ► Just hearing about the get-together in Providence made me feel a little younger. It made me wish we were back in 1912 and you could coach and I could play a little football. As it is, I rather imagine I would have difficulty taking you over even at as strenuous a game as a 50-point billiard match. George M. Crowther '13 Fitchburg, Mass. ► Congratulations to the University and Bill Burnham on the Edward N. Robinson Collection, a very fine tribute to a well be- lo\'ed alumnus friend. . . . Eugene W. O'Brien '19 Editor, Southern Power and Industry Atlanta, Ga. * * * ► My best wishes to you, Robbie, my idol in undergraduate years and embodiment of true Brown character then and now. You prepared your boys for each game with a thoroughness based on your intimate knowl- edge of football: you prepared the team to outdo Itself, playing with true sportsman- ship, even though losing became at times disgustingly necessary. Not a coach alone, Robbie, but a friend on and off the field, counselor and a member of one's own fam- ily. We of Brown football salute you. Henry W. Peterson '21 Springfield Fire and Marine Insurance Company, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. * *■ * y My moments of heroism were never fre- quent enough to develop the clipping habit, so I have no material to add to your collec- tion. On the other hand, I doubt if any of your All-Americans derived as much value out of playing for you at Brown as I did — on the taking end. It may be more blessed to give than to receive, but it doesn't do more for you in football. You don't realize, perhaps, the good it does a timid kid to find out that he's still alive after an afternoon with the bruisers; or the spiritual life of once or twice being the man to get the run- ner while Mike Gulian was flat on his fanny with three Yales sitting on him. Several years ago I talked with Andy Cohen over a conception 1 had for his U.C. team. He learned his football from Wade Brown and talked at length about you, although he had never met you. The fact that I'd played under your tutelage was enough to establish me. He'd even listen to a stranger if he was a Ned Robinson stranger. . . . My best to Sprack — and to all the gang, particularly any of them in the era between Josh Weeks and Jim Stifler. There IS nothing I remember more clearly or with more pleasure. Harold Mallory "22 Cincinnati * * « ► I know of no man for whom I cherish a higher regard and affection than I do for Robbie. When I entered Brown in the fall of "09, I never would in my most vivid imagination have believed that I would be a member of that famous team which defeated Yale in "10 by the score of 21-0. Why I was a member was entirely due to the encourage- ment and confidence which Robbie had in me, and I could do nothing more than re- ciprocate by giving all I had. The same spirit which stimulated me also stimulated all the boys. . . . The clearest recollection which I have of Robbie's splendid ability is the way in which he could get one to snap out of any tem- porary depression of spirits which one might be in, and to get one to go into a game with all the animal vigor which one possessed. In one particular instance, I had been in- jured in a football scrimmage to such an extent that I had to wear a pad over one of my ribs. As the next game came closer and I was not making the rapid progress to complete recovery I expected, I began to fear that I would not do my best in Satur- day's game. As soon as Robbie realized that I felt this way, he began joking with me, teasing me and putting the idea in my mind that my injury was a trivial one, and instilling me with team spirit. He followed this up with a vivid description of injuries he had suffered and told how he had played under the most frightful disabilities. After IT minutes of this, I felt most apologetic tor ever having mentioned it, and I never again mentioned an injury. I went into that game, and as I remember it played the entire time and completely forgot about my rib. This may seem like a small matter, but to me it still lingers in my memory, and it was a tremendous factor in my general attitude at the time. Jeffrey S. Granger '13 Sulzbacher, Granger &? Co., New York * * * > We were all fond of Robbie and had for him the greatest respect and admiration. The dedication of this collection to him is surely a handsome and fitting tribute. W. B.

Name Street- City — State— ► It takes a war to keep me from being in person at the presentation to the University Library of the Edward N.

As one of the comparatively few privi- ledged to play on four of your 24 teams at Brown, no one can better testify than can I to the life-long influence of your coaching. In life, as well as in football there seems to me to be no better precept than that of yours, "Play the game hard, but play it cleanly." "Monk" Curtis '07 Cleveland, O. * * * ► I AM glad that something is being done that will have a more enduring permanence than immolation (it frequently was, wasn't it?) in the files of the newspapers of three decades; also one that will have a dignity commensurate with the fine personality of the man immortalized. It gives me great pleasure to join (by means of this letter) with the others, friends of Robbie, who knew him as coach, who knew him as friend, and who knew him as gentleman. J. G. Melendy '01 Tarrytown, N. Y. * * * ► YoLiR many years as a Brown coach and the resulting records over those years are outstanding. My memories as a member of Brown football teams under your direction will always be with me. In addition, my association as Assistant Coach, was invalu- able in my business and social life. Your leadership and ability in moulding my per- sonal athletic sportsmanship, and its appli- cation to my later life, were most influential. You should derive a great deal of satisfac- tion in knowing the many members of Brown teams were better fitted to meet life's responsibilities and relationships because of your influence as Coach. "Rats" Albright '20 Philadelphia ► You had many successful football teams during your long sojourn at Brown Univer- sity, and you and those of us who worked with you take pardonable pride in that fact. However, your success on the gridiron is as nothing compared to the success which is symbolized by this gathering tonight. The Edward N. Robinson Collection is a per- manent tribute to your humanity. I for one shall never forget the patience, understand- ing, and kindly humor which endeared you to every Brown football man who served under you and to many other Brown men as well. Georg£ T. Metcalf '13 Providence ► You have hundreds of Brown friends whom you know slightly or not at all who have been appreciative of your work for Brown. ... It is a thrill to us to imagine what a thrill it must be to you to be told so sincerely by .so many that, regardless of the cost in time and money of this growing col- lection and of its potential value to new generations of athletes, sports editors, and historians, you whose name it shall bear have run up a high score in the estimates of your fellow men, and are indeed a rich man. Robert F. Shillings 'U Herman L. Noyes '13 for the Brown Club of Western Maine. 101 ► Everyone in the Chicago Brown Club joins with all other Brown men in this trib- ute to you for your quarter-century of loyal service to Brown and the high standards of sportsmanship you so long have inculcated in Brown men. F. D. Bateman "25, President ► Brown football in my mind is always bound up with pleasant memories of three persons — yourself first, and then Doc Mar- vel and Charley Hoggins. Many thanks for all you taught me and best wishes to you for many more years of good health and happi- ness. Russell McKay '1 i Home Savings and Loan Company, Youngstown, O. ► I did not know Robbie. Brown had no coaches in my period, nor football team either, though we were great in baseball. However, that does not mean that Robbie's name and fame are not known on the Pa- cific Coast, and we wish you would tell him so. Nathaniel Blaisdell '83 President, Brown Club of Alta, Calif. ► My most sincere greetings to Robbie, for I do recall the humane method of coaching that he maintained during the time I played under him. I know that he held the same esteem from the other members of my team. David J. Wolper '24 The Hurricane, New York. ► Congratulations and best wishes from one of your many friends in the Class of 1894. I wish I could give them to you in person, but I send them by a trusty mes- senger (Furber Marshall). You have brought fame and glory to more Brown football teams than any other person. If I had a son (or grandson) in college, I would rather have you coach him than any other. You will live as one of the greatest and best of Brown's traditions for a great many years. The legendary Robbie that is to be can scarcely become a better teacher or a more lovable character than the Robbie I have been privileged to know. Charles S. Aldrich "94 Troy, N. Y. ^ I WAS only a manager, without football letters, but I send my greetings. Libe Washburn and Buck Whittemore have gone hence, one in the East and the other in the West, and how many more I don't know. But you and I are still here. Just how old you are I don't know, either, but I am 73 years old and still carrying out life's ac- tivities. When after the Brown and Chicago game in 1900, you played again in Chicago, I was down somewhere in Illinois and ran in for the game, and what a thrill it was seeing you and Trainer Huggins. But while the game was against Brown, the sad part came when Huggins reached Providence and he was taken to join Washburn and Whittemore. The collection is a worthy effort, and future generations will know that Edward N. Robinson was on the job in the football maneuvers. John M. Linden '1 1 Madison, Wis.

Prof. A. K. Potter "86 was the guest ot honor, and members of 1919 predominated in the luncheon com- pany for Oct. 26: Harry Norcross, S. M. Harris, H. G. Harris, Henry T. Samson, Joseph F. Shea; and Clifford P. Ladd '18, Alexander A. Gardiner '14, entertainment chairman; President Allen B. Sikes '23, and Secretary Newton G. Chase '09. The luncheons are held in the dining room extension ot the Brown Club Quarters at 39 East 39th St., every Tuesday at 12;45, holidays excepted. Each Tuesday is desig- nated as the occasion of a reunion of some special class groups, but all Brown men in the New York area, whether club members or not, are invited. Quentin Reynolds "24, Collier's war cor- respondent and now narrator of a front-line hero story every Tuesday night on radio's "Salute to Youth", was the speaker at a joint meeting of the Brown and Princeton Clubs Nov. 17. < Graduation -^ CcjTifniut'ii jrom pdgc 89 ► President Wriston, in accepting the flag, referred to the graduation speeches made that morning by the two Senior ora- tors: "As they made their speeches it oc- curred to me that there was going on in the life of youth a speed-up in maturity, that they had their feet more firmly on the ground that Commencement speakers of five, six or eight years ago, that they had neither lost the courage of youth nor its en- thusiasms but that they had soberly attained that maturity which one expects in the thir- ties rather than the twenties. "And as this war moves on to its inevi- table climax, we must be vigilant that we shall not experience that moral reaction of which one of them spoke, remember that there shall be no tapering off in our dedica- tion to the task, that we shall go forward, not through a cooling-off period, not through a transition period, not through any other passages of time, but we shall dedi- cate ourselves to the continuing permanent and faithful discharge of the duties of life, recognizing that in human affairs no prob- lem is ever solved. "It simply takes a new form and lies be- fore each successive responsible generation as the same old challenge in some new way, and the fashions and thought bring new language to bear, but the task is to find in the human heart that which is best, that which is clearest and finest and most pene- trating, and to unite those in the service of God and mankind.

TELEPHONE SASPEE 7094 '^Picturize your Product" 105 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY > Prof. C. Raymond Adams '18 presented the portrait of Prof. Archibald on behalf of his associates and former students: "For 3 7 years," he pointed out, "Raymond Claire Archibald has served Brown University as professor of mathematics. At the age of 13, on matriculating at Mt. Allison University in New Brunswick, Canada, he won a prize competition in entrance mathematics. When the proceeds of this prize were expended in the purchase of a violin, the keynote of life- long interests was sounded. For as under- graduate and graduate student at home and abroad, and later as teacher, he continued to give music an almost equal place with mathematics in his affections. "The instincts of the bibliophile were also his from early years. Possessing a pas- sion for accurate detail, systematic by nature and blessed with a memory that was the mar- vel of his friends, he gradually acquired a knowledge of mathematical books and their values which has scarcely been equaled. This knowledge and an untiring energy he dedicated to the upbuilding of the mathe- matical library of Brown University. From modest beginnings he has developed this es- sential equipment of the mathematical in- vestigator to a point where it has no supe- rior, in completeness and in convenience for the user. "It was after seven years at the Mt. Alli- son Ladies' College, where his major duty was to direct the violin department, that Professor Archibald came to Brown, thence- forth to devote all of his energies to mathe- matics. Of the men and women who have since passed through these halls a host owe to him their appreciation of the aesthetic and the functional significance of mathe- matics in present-day life. "With a glowing enthusiasm for his sub- ject, with a warm personal interest in his students, with a never failing patience and sympathy for those who really tried to learn, with a sense of loyalty and justice and a de- votion to the scholarly life that were appar- ent to all who knew him, he made a deep and lasting impression on many men and women of Brown. "Indeed, in Professor Archibald's theory of education the scholarly ideal is central, with all that the term implies in respect to industry and self-discipline on the part of student and scholar. During all his years at Brown he has himself been an exponent of the 70-hour work week, with satisfaction- and-a-half for overtime. And throughout long periods of peace and prosperity, when such ideas are not always popular, he held steadfastly to the belief that encouragement in self-discipline is a vital part of educa- tion." He added that the gift came from a num- ber of Prof. Archibald's friends, "all in the University circle but now scattered from Rhode Island to Rio and from Seattle to Ceylon." ► Expressing his deep appreciation of the gift, Vice-President Adams said; "Among the cherished possessions of the University are many portraits of men who have left the imprint of their work upon this institution — some of them were mem- bers of its responsible government, some of them held positions ol executive leadership, some of them left legacies of learning as teachers and scholars. This portrait will have an honored place among our posses- sions in recognition of a man who has given 35 years of significant service to this Uni- versity. We are happy that, despite his re- tirement, he is still one of our associates, active and vigorous in the pursuit of the scholarly interests which have been for him not only a professional career but also a labor of love." ► Harold B. Tanner '09 spoke for Mrs. Clarence A. Barbour in presenting her hus- band's portrait. In so doing, he said he yielded to the University a "precious pos- session" which he had often viewed in her home, but which "she is happy to have find its final place in the halls of his beloved Alma Mater." "Clarence A. Barbour received the Bach- elor of Arts Degree of this University in 1888 and was awarded its honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1909. He received the degree in course of Rochester Theologi- cal Seminary in 1891 and in later years was awarded honorary degrees by six American Colleges and Universities. He was elected a Trustee of Brown University in 1926 and from 1929 until his death in 1937 was a Fellow of and the President of the Univer- sity. His public accomplishments have re- ceived from many sources the acclaim which they so well merit. "But, Mr. Chancellor and Ladies and Gentlemen, the real quality of a man is tested by the memories of those who knew him intimately. It was my privilege thus to know Dr. Barbour. Here is the portrait of one of the most friendly men who ever walked this campus, — a man who bore with- out complaint burdens which taxed his sturdy mind and body but were never too great for his spirit. — a man who in his whole life exemplified the application of his own beautiful phrase, 'I try never to stroke care- lessly the heart-strings of another man.' "It is my calm judgment that, in hanging his portrait on its walls. Brown University will not only honor him but will also honor itself." ► Chancellor Henry D. Sharpe's ac- ceptance added this further fine tribute: "This portrait of Dr. Barbour is one of a person who was well acquainted with two- thirds of the present membership of the Cor- poration, and it will be cherished by all of us as eloquent of all that which was so fine and distinctive about him. It will be placed in the line of those many Presidents' por- traits which we have in Sayles Hall. He, the 10th President of the University, will be the ninth so honored as, unhappily, we lack the portrait of the second President, Maxcy. "1 wish, on behalf of the Corporation, to extend to Mrs. Barbour and her family the hearty thanks on our being so favored, and give her assurance that we will guard this portrait and honor it. As we look upon it from year to year, it will serve splendidly to recall Dr. Barbour himself and the strong work which he did for his Alma Mater." i Pembroke Chronicle < < BY GERTRUDE ALLEN MacCONNELL, Alumnae Secretary Engagements ► > 193? — Catherine O'Meara to Maj.
