The Full Text of the Presidents' Agree- 
ment on Football. (Comment and News 
on Page 55.) 

> > Through action of their respective 
governing boards, the institutions under- 
signed have entered into an agreement with 
each other for the purpose of reaffirming 
their intention of continuing intercollegiate 
football in such a way as to maintain the 
value of the game while keeping it in fitting 
proportion to the mam purposes of aca- 
demic life. 

Under proper conditions intercollegiate 
competition in football offers desirable rec- 
reation for players and a healthy focus of 
collegiate loyalty. These conditions require 
that the players themselves shall be truly 
representative of the student body and not 
composed of a group of special recruited 
and trained athletes. They further require 
that undue strain upon players be elimin- 
ated, and that they be permitted to enjoy 
the game as participants in a form of rec- 
reational competition rather than as per- 
formers in a type of public spectacle. In 
the total life of the campus, emphasis upon 
intercollegiate competition must be brought 
into harmony with the essential educational 
purposes of the institution. In general 
terms, the problem is one of avoiding the 
well-recognized excesses of intercollegiate 
football while retaining and enhancing the 
values which are known to lie in the sport. 

With a view to the accomplishment of 
this basic purpose, the participating insti- 
tutions agree to cooperate through two 
inter-institutional committees: (A) a Com- 
mittee on Administration, and (B) a Com- 
mittee on Eligibility. 

A, Committee on Administration 

> Each institution shall name a repre- 
sentative, who shall be the responsible ad- 
ministration officer dealing at the institu- 
tion with intercollegiate athletics, to serve 
on a committee to handle the various phases 
of administration other than those affectins 
the eligibility of players. The responsi- 
bility of this committee shall be two-fold : 



( 1 ) to keep the conditions under which 
intercollegiate football is conducted in the 
member institutions under an overall re- 
view and appraisal, and (2) to induce and 
promote inter-institutional cooperation de- 
signed to effectuate the spirit and intent of 
this agreement. 

The Committee on Administration shall 
have a chairman and a secretary, the latter 
chosen by the committee itself. The chair- 
manship of the committee shall be held in 
annual rotation by the representatives of the 
member institutions in the order of insti- 
tutional seniority. There shall be a vice 
chairman, who shall be the member of the 
committee next in line for the chairmanship. 
The chairman shall set the date and place 
of the regular meetings and of any special 
meetings requested by the representatives 
of any three member institutions. 

Each institution agrees to furnish the 
Committee on Administration such informa- 
tion affecting the organization, support and 
conduct of intercollegiate football, other 
than with respect to player eligibility, as 
the committee may deem necessary to the 
effective discharge of its duties. 

The participating institutions agree to 
give prompt attention to any actions or 
policies recommended by the Committee on 
Administration and to abide by any policies 
which have received the formal approval of 
a majority of the institutions subscribing 
to this agreement. 

> The following principles are agreed to 
ab initio: 

1. Football schedules shall not be made 
more than two years in advance. 

2. The subscribing institutions shall not 
engage in post-season contests or any con- 
tests designed to settle sectional or other 
championships. 

3. Contests involving extended absences 
from the institution shall be avoided. 

It is expected that the Committee on Ad- 
ministration will in due course make recom- 
mendations with respect to other matters of 
general concern, such as ( 1 ) the length of 
the regular playing season, (2) the admissi-

VOL. XLVI 



DECEMBER, 1945 
NUMBER 3 



► ► Peace Breaks Out on the Campus 



TSjeuer in Brown's 181 years have there been so many 
undergrddiuites enrolled m the University as this fall, 
with 1980 students registered. The figure tops the pre- 
vious high of 1941-1942 when J923 students were en- 
rolled m Brown and Pemhro\e. It followed a summer 
semester in which the registration was the smallest in 
40 years. Dean V^'al}{er tells what this has meant in 
terms other than statistical. 

By Emery R. Walker '39 
Admissions Officer 

► ► Th ere's a song that almost says it : "Brown Is Bustin" 
Out All Over." 

We thought we had headaches during the war. We faced 
problems Brown has never before had in her history. Taking 
care of the substantial number of Navy students on active 
duty made troubles. So did admitting three new classes 
each year. So did diminishing manpower. I suppose I can 
tell about our manpower situation best by saying that at one 
time last summer I had responsibility for admissions, schol- 
arships, student employment, student loans, placement, 
housing, and social discipline; also I was teaching a section 
of English. And I wasn't the only one so situated. 

Last June the Navy asked Brown if we would be willing 
to take 661 sailors this November. (We had about 350 at 
the time.) Pembroke we knew was going to break all enroll- 
ment records this fall and go over 700 (normal pre-war 
enrollment was about 4^0). We knew we would have to 
house and feed a number of the girls on our campus. We 
assumed some increase in civilian enrollment, for veterans 
were trickling back; we had 6i then. But we felt sure that 
there wouldn't be more than a total of 350 to 400 civilians 
— not enough to interfere with taking some of the sailors 
they wanted us to handle. So we agreed. 

► Then siiMEBODY invented a bomb. The war ended, and 
the veterans came into the Admissions Office. Through 
October I averaged about eight a day, not counting those 
who had been at Brown in the past, for they (the "read- 
mits") came in through Dean Arnold. One day 20 new 
ones came in. Letters poured in — 25 or 30 a day, and the 
number is still going up. Most of the men were still in 
uniform. Many had been discharged just the day before — 
they'd been dreaming about college for a long time. For 
days I did nothing dunng the day but see veterans; my desk 
work I did at night. Dean Arnold was doing the same thing. 

I had predicted late in September that we'd have 100 
new entering students in November; there were 205. Dean 
Arnold had predicted 30 or 40 returning Brown men; 
there were 90. Our civilian enrollment estimate of 350-400 
became in actuality 584. Pembroke's total was 711. And to 
top it off, they sent us not 661 sailors but 685. 

Well, you don't plan the registration, housing, feeding, 
teaching, classroom space, books, and so on for an under- 
graduate body overnight. Our undergraduate enrollment 
Vi'as suddenly larger than it had ever been in Brown's his-

crowded College compelled the establishment of a bar- 
racks type of dormitory at the start of the semester. 

tory. Our plans were inadequate, through no fault of our 
own. Consequently we broke out at the seams. As a last 
minute gesture we converted one or two civilian dining 
halls into a dormitory. We had planned to feed civilians in 
the D.U. and Deke houses; a few days before the class 
arrived we decided we could stagger the crowd in the Deke 
house and feed them all there, releasing the D.U. house 
tor use as a dormitory. In spite of this, we still had to 
house 39 in Lyman Gymnasium, using the upstairs locker 
room and two other rooms off the end of the track. 

We didn't have books enough. Enrollment in individual 
courses shot up as much as 100%, causing frantic phone 
calls and wires from departments seeking additional teach- 
ing help. They lined up clear outside the Deke house for 
meals the first few days. Yes, we're out at the seams. 

► All this reflects a policy. Some colleges, swamped as 
vv-e were, closed their doors in midsummer. They said: No 
more applicants until September 1946, even returning 
alumni. They were able to concentrate on answering their 
accumulated mail. But we felt an obligation to the veterans, 
especially to the returning Brown men, and we kept the 
door open until the semester began — that is, for those 
who were qualified; standards were not lowered. This prin- 
ciple we shall follow for entrance in March, too. although 
Lyman Gym may fill again. 

We lost some good will through the extemporisation that 
Vi'as obviously necessary, but not much. Most of the men

living in the Gym knew they'd be there before they arrived; 
they chose to enter and stay in the Gym rather than wait 
a semester. And some want to stay there, perhaps partly 
because we're charging them no rent. They do have the 
necessary facilities : double decker bunks are installed in the 
old locker room, which is about 75 x 25 feet (the lockers 
are out, of course) ; one of the smaller rooms, both of which 
are 15 X 30, was fitted out v>'ith desks as a study; the other 
became the lounge. Showers were already there. The only 
problem these men have is living and studying with 25 or 
30 others. But they're getting used to it. and now they 
call it "The Old Soldiers' Home." 

We feel we would have lost much more good will it wc 
had refused to try to do anything for the men coming out 
of service. Moreover, good will or no good will, we felt 
bound to do our best for these men. 

► We're coming out of it a little now. But this is only 
the beginning. I expect a grand rush at every entering date 
for the next couple of years — February, July, September, 
and so on. (July will not start a full semester, only a "sum- 
mer session".) We have a backlog of hundreds of appli- 
cations from boys who applied before they went into service 
or since they've been in. Hundreds more entered but didn't 
finish and will be back. Every day's mail brings letters from 
kids all over the world who want nothing more than to get 
back on the Hill just as soon as possible. 

And then, of course, we can't forget the secondary school 
graduates as they come along. At the moment they're draft- 
able either before they arrive or soon after, but before too 
long this won't remain true. In other words, we'll have 
fairly normal entering classes of secondary school graduates 
and in addition the veterans. That's one reason we have a 
building plan. 

They're a wonderful bunch, these veterans. Their aver- 
age age is 23. Some have been in service as much as six 
years. Some haven't studied for 10. A fair number (about 
35) are married, some with children. They present prob- 
lems, but they are not psychological problems in spite of 
the publicity given to the veteran and psycho-neurosis. As 
a matter of fact, the veterans adjust more quickly to college 
living than the average 17 or IS-year-old. They're mature, 
these veterans, they know how to work hard, they are inter- 
ested, they are putting in valuable time, and they're going 
to get their money's worth. They have to adjust, as the 
17-year-old doesn't, but they work so hard that the adjust- 
ments come fairly soon. 

It's a big job the old College has to do. At the moment 
we're just beginning our reconversion process, but we'll 
accomplish it, and we'll continue to give as many qualified 
young men as we can handle the benefits of our rich cultural 
heritage. < 

IS'ew Site for Lord & Taylor 

► New York's Lord 6? Taylor, of which Walter Hoving 
'20 is president, will move to 52nd St. about 1950, it was 
announced earlier this fall when a blockfront on the west 
side of Fifth Ave. was purchased for a department store at 
a cost estimated at $6,250,000. Twelve suburban branches 
are also contemplated. 

The new store building will be "an outstanding example 
of modern, functional architecture." It will contain 750,- 
000 square feet of floor space as compared with 550,000 in 
the present store at 38th St., the first 10 floors to be devoted 
to selling, the tower to house executive offices. Title for the 
last portion of the property was to pass from John D. 
Rockefeller '97 on Deo;mbcr 1. i 




THE GENERAL'S MOTHER stands with Prosicleiil 
Wriston before the flag recovered by the First Cavalry 
and presented to Brown by Maj. Gen. William C. 
Chase '16. 

The MacArtliur Flag m 

V ► S.AYLES H.ALL has Seen many thrilling moments, but 
one of the most memorable came November 2 when an 
American flag came to Brown University. To look at, it 
was just an ordinary flag; but it had a story which made it 
an object of respect in the crowded hall on the opening day 
of the new term. That pedigree was given in a letter to 
President Wriston from Maj. Gen. William C. Chase '16 
which had heralded the coming of the flag : 

"We have found many souvenirs out here during our 
four campaigns," wrote the commanding ofiicer of the 1st 
Cavalry Division, "but none that will equal this flag of our 
country." It had flown over the headquarters of General 
MacArthur in the Manila Hotel when the Japs moved in 
in 1942. It had been recaptured in the same hotel late in 
February of 1945 when the 12th U. S. Cavalry, a unit in 
General Chase's division, won the race to Manila and took 
part in the bitter battle for the city. It was now a gift to 
Brown University through a loyal graduate from the veteran 
division which had liberated Santo Tomas with its 3700 
internees. The General hoped that the flag might be "raised 
on the campus somewhere as a symbol of our victory." 

On his behalf, the Treasurer of the Class of 1916 made 
the formal presentation to the University. He was Col. 
H. S. McLeod, just returned from the ETO and five cam- 
paigns. "Isn't there something in the nature of poetic jus- 
tice," Col. McLeod asked, "revolving around the fact that 
a man and educated in the liberal arts and humanities as 
General Chase was should at every turn have beaten to 
earth an enemy devoted and dedicated to everything inhu- 
man and brutal — an enemy whose way of life was repug- 
nant to the traditions and ideals for which this University 
and this very structure stand?"

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



Among the witnesses of the ceremony was the widow of 
Ward B. Chase '85, the General's mother, who was the 
guest of honor with a score of the General's classmates 
squiring her. After the Convocation, a color guard from 
the Brown Navy unit carried the flag at the head of a pro- 
cession to Faunce House, and it was placed on exhibition for 
a month. Eventually it will he preserved in a glass case, the 
gift of the Class of 1916, in one of the principal buildings 
on College Hill. 

General Chase has received the Legion of Merit, with 
the following citation: 

"Assuming command of a Cavalry Brigade at the time 
of its reorgani:;ation, General Chase conceived and executed 
a training program which resulted in an outstanding degree 
of combat efficiency. In the Admiralty Islands, General 
Chase commanded the initial reconnaissance in force and 
acquitted himself with such boldness and tenacity that it 
was possible to expand the operation into a full'scale in- 
vasion. On Leyte Island he conducted his brigade for 67 
continuous days against an active and determined enemy 
under extremely adverse conditions of terrain and weather. 
On Luzon Island, General Chase commanded his brigade 
with unusual vigor and determination in conducting a 
mobile assault group which made the initial entry and occu- 
pation of Manila. At all times General Chase demonstrated 
a quality of leadership which enabled him to fulfill his great 
responsibilities in an outstanding manner." 

In October General Chase had two more citations: One 
was the Rhode Island Cross, in which he was named "one 
of the greatest strategists of the war." The other was praise 
from the first GI into Tokyo, Pfc. Paul E. Davis, who was 
introduced at the National Encampment of the VFW. 
"The best damn general the Army has," was what Davis 
thought of Chase. "Why, we slept together in a foxhole on 
Leyte. He'd never ask you to do anything that, you sort of 
had the feeling, he wouldn't do himself." i 

Public W^orks for Tomorrow 

► In the PL.ANNING for construction of public works in 
the postwar years, E. Lawrence Chandler '09 is playing a 
leading part. He is chairman of the public works advisory 
committee of the Federal Works Agency and is serving on 
various U. S. Chamber of Commerce committees which 
deal with problems of the construction industry and the 
employment of veterans in it. 

"American engineers are the men who must lay out the 
blueprints and supervise the construction of our public 
works like electric power and flood control developments, 
water and sanitation systems, highways, dams and bridges," 
he told a feature writer for the "Washingtun Times Herald 
this fall. 

Chandler has been Washington representative of the 
American Society of Civil Engineers since March, 1944. 
He had previously specialized in flood control and hydro- 
electric power development engineering with many projects 
to his credit in various parts of the country. He served as 
chief estimator for TWA and was project manager for the 
Dravo shipyard in Wilmington. In 1943 he went to Cen- 
tral America for the Defense Supplies Corporation to in- 
vestigate the source of abaca, important in rope-making 
after the Philippines fell. 

Eileen Etten, the interviewer, was also impressed by 
the facts that "he's married to his home-town sweetheart, 
has a 6-foot, 5 -inch 270-pound son in the merchant marine, 
collects stamps, and can sing baritone, second tenor, and 
first bass." i 



► Straightening Out 

► ► "In the atomic age it has now been demonstrated 
that an Army lives on grouse," President Wriston told the 
student body as the new semester opened November 2. And 
he granted that plenty of basis for complaint could be found. 

"So far as the University is concerned," he said, "it has 
been buffeted about as much as any of you. When the Navy 
set our quota, V-J Day had not yet come; we had vast 
empty spaces which there was no prospect would be filled. 
We did not ask for the quota assigned; we were asked to 
take it. At that time, moreover, selective service would not 
permit students to finish the semester before induction ; we 
had no knowledge that veterans would be returning at any- 
thing like their current numbers. We not only did not know 
those things; there was no possible way they could have 
been known. 

"In short, many things happened so rapidly that there 
was no time to solve our problems. Therefore we have been 
forced to extemporize, something we dislike far more bit- 
terly than you, for in your military experiences you became 
accustomed to it; our tradition abhors extemporization. 

"We got into this present situation in an effort to be of 
service. Financial advantages are not involved; we are not 
making a profit. We will be worse off financially for being 
over-crowded and for having to make quick shifts. An edu- 
cational institution cannot make quick changes easily because 
it always operates with a minimum of personnel, instead 
of as the armed services always try to operate — with a 
surplus of personnel." He invited patience, co-operation. 
In the days which followed, his plea seemed to be bearing 
fruit. And one difficulty after another was ironed out. 

► The president briefly referred to another problem 
when he remarked that "for many, loyalties and interests 
center elsewhere, and you do not yet feel the pull of affec- 
tion for this University." It was not surprising. Nearly 
300 of the Navy unit were newly arrived: 65 from Union's 
ROTC, 95 from Williams, 55 from Middlebury, 30 from 
Worcester Tech, 85 in the V-5 (pre-flight) program from 
Central Missouri Teachers College. On the football squad 
were men who had attended some 25 other colleges. The 
Herald complained that some of the Na^y students did not 
rise while "Alma Mater" was being played. And there were 
minor tensions between civilians and Navy trainees. But 
Dr. Wriston's observation at the Convocation was a true 
one: "On this campus we have had a different experience 
from many institutions. Cordial relations have always 
existed between the Navy personnel. Army personnel, 
civilians, and veterans. I ask you all to respect, if not each 
other, at least the tradition of this institution which has 
treated all with an even-handed justice and hospitality." 

It is doubtful if there has ever been such a disparity of 
ages among Brown undergraduates. Not a few were in 
their late 20s, several were over 30 and one was 40 — along- 
side Freshmen just out of high school at 17 and 18. But, to 
the great credit of the older men, this has brought few of 
the complications one might have expected. When Fresh- 
man caps were put on, new students over 20 were given the 
option of ignoring Freshman rules. They have entered into 
college life with a serious zest, a healthy influence on the 
younger men. And so are the Brown men resuming their 
studies in large numbers after military service. 

Other trends were pointed out by Dean Samuel T. 
Arnold at the first chapel of the term. "Never to my knowl- 
edge have we had so many students taking mathematics 



53 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



who have not seen a math text book for several years, so 
many students continuing foreign languages after a lapse of 
several years or when the only background has been that 
gained in a foreign country where the language is spoken. 
Never have we had so many students formerly interested 
in the humanities who are now candidates for engineering 
degrees or looking forward to a concentration in the physi- 
cal sciences." 

Like the other colleges of the country, Brown was try- 
ing to accommodate and cooperate with the veterans, he 
pointed out. "For the first time within my memory colleges 
will include a considerable proportion of married students, 
some of whom have families." (At Brown about five per 
cent of the civihan students are married.) One entering 
Freshman offered Dean Walker a cigar, saying, "It's a boy." 
Brown had been more fortunate than some in that the mar- 
ried students had found accommodations in the community. 

Dean Arnold quoted from letters from all parts of the 
world from former students restless to return to Brown, 
suggesting that those already here appreciate their oppor- 
tunities. He urged them to seek in a broad program some 
vision for the future, to organize their financial resources, 
to enter into student life, to guard their health, and to hold 
onto the religious values for which the chapel was a symbol 
and a support. i 

Nations' Honors < 

► ► M.\j. Gen. Roy.al B. Lord '21, who holds top deco- 
rations from several countries, was awarded the Distin- 
guished Service Medal in October, one of our own major 
distinctions. Britain made him a Commander of the Bath, 
France bestowed its Legion of Honor and Croix de Guerre 
with palms, and Rheims made him an honorary citizen. 
He was chief of staff and deputy commanding general. 
Communications Zone, and deputy chief of staff, ETO 
from October, 1943 to December, 1944 and from January 
to April, 1945. The DSM citation said: 

"He directed the functions of Communications Zone 
bases and sections and was primarily responsible for plan- 
ning, co-ordinating and executing the logistical activities 
supporting the Normandy landings. This required months 
of intense work to insure the adequacy of supplies stored in 
the United Kingdom, the proper care for troops awaiting 
shipment at ports, sufficient quantities of supplies for use 
in the initial landings and the establishment of beach port 
facilities through which a tremendous volume of equipment 
and personnel could be poured to swell Allied strength on 
the continent. 

"The thoroughness and flexibility of his plans were shown 
when the supply lines remained unbroken despite storm- 
damaged beach ports and unexpectedly swift combat gains. 
While the fighting went on west of the Rhine, he prepared 
to supply the drive into Germany, and before victory was 
won in Europe he made arrangement for redeployment, 
readying huge assembly and staging areas to accommodate 
thousands of troops. Through his outstanding leadership 
and untiring efforts to co-ordinate the activities of Com- 
munications Zone sections, he insured the maximum assist- 
ance of supply agencies to the combat forces and thereby 
materially hastened the defeat of Germany." 

Gen. Sir Humphrey Gale, senior British officer on Gen. 
Eisenhower's staff, brought the English citation, praising 
the integration of the American and British services in sup- 
port of the assault on Fortress Europa. General of the 
Army Alphonze Juin, chief of staff to Gen. Charles de 



Gaulle, conferred France's highest honor in ceremonies in 
the courtyard of the Invalides in Paris. 

In July Gen. Lord had turned over to the Mayor of 
Rheims the gold and silver-plated keys to the room in the 
red schoolhouse where the Germans had signed their sur- 
render two months earlier. "The world hopes you will 
enshrine it," he said of the room, which had been left 
exactly as it was on May 7. By September Lord had been 
made commanding general of the Assembly Area at Rheims. 
The title of honorary citizen was bestowed then with the 
traditional wine of honor served for the mutual exchange of 
toasts. 

The General received the Legion of Merit at the time of 
the North African invasion, for directing the preliminary 
engineering planning. i

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



► ► Brown Joins in the "Ivy League" Pact 



► ► Brunonian reaction to the presidential agreement 
on football policy seems to be one of general and definite 
satisfaction. Without resort to anything as impressive as 
the polls of Dr. Gallup, we encounter a two-fold, strongly 
favorable response: Primarily there is approval of the 
statement itself, which is a combination in restraint of foot- 
ball excesses, originally formalised on November 20 over 
the signatures of Henry M. Wriston of Brown, Frank D. 
Fackenthal of Columbia, Edmund E. Day of Cornell, John 
S. Dickey of Dartmouth, James B. Conant of Harvard, 
George W. McClelland of Pennsylvania, Harold W. Dodds 
of Princeton, and Charles Seymour of Yale. In addition, 
Brown men are heartily glad to be joining so many tradi- 
tional rivals in the step. 

The intention in which the eight presidents unite is to 
continue intercollegiate football "in such a way as to main- 
tain the value of the game while keeping it in fitting pro- 
portion to the main purposes of academic life." Rigid re- 
strictions are set up, chiefly affecting player eligibility and 
frowning on athletic scholarships, post-season games, and 
most other sins in the book of over-emphasis. Two commit- 
tees provided for in the agreement will lend force to the 
principles and make them more than a toot from an ivy 
tower. 

Neither the word "ivy" nor the word "league" appears 
anywhere in the agreement, but no news story about it 
appeared without the words. Commentators on receipt of 
the release sought clues as to whether the formation of a 
league was blocked or encouraged. "Is it a league?" they 
asked as they observed that the signatory colleges had often 
been grouped in the past for sports page purposes. "Not 
yet," they had to answer. On that point, there was unan- 
imity. From there on speculation rambled: Those who 
wished to do so professed that foundation had been laid for 
a later conference; others saw it ruled out with finality. 
It could have been "decision reserved." 

► What is the evidence? No president, perhaps by pre- 
arrangement, chose to amplify or interprete solo what he 
already announced in unison. The athletic directors went 
little further in their comment, although William H. Mc- 
Carter of Dartmouth said the agreement "merely formalizes 
the close association which has been in existence for a num- 
ber of years." Brown's Walter H. Snell was "gratified that 
we are able to collaborate with the other institutions in 
furthering the principles promulgated." He called it "an 
important step in the direction of putting intercollegiate 
athletics in its proper place in college activities." He re- 
vealed that the agreement had been "accepted unanimously 
and heartily endorsed by the Athletic Advisory Council 
and the Corporation of Brown University." "We feel, 
also," he said, "that the agreement will redound to the bet- 
terment of Brown athletics." Ogden Miller of Yale dis- 
covered in the compact "a chance for this group of institu- 
tions really to stabilize the football picture among them- 
selves for the benefit of the colleges as well as the game 
itself." 

The oflicial press release accompanying the text of the 
agreement noted that "the participating institutions are 
completely free to arrange their own schedules, and are not 
obliged to play one another." (Pretty hard to run a league 
without competition between members. Actually, of course, 
schedules interlock a great deal: Brown this past fall 



played Columbia, Harvard, Penn, and Yale and games have 
been thus far announced with Princeton and Dartmouth, 
for next year.) The agreement specifically describes the 
colleges as agreed not to engage in "any contests designed 
to settle sectional or other championships." (Would a 
league thrill you without a champion at the season's end?) 
Nevertheless, the parties to the agreement should find 
themselves drawn together, perhaps even more than in the 
past. There is some point in playing people who follow the 
same rules. Ideally, that way you stay at your own com- 
petitive level, where you find birds of a feather. You get 
less of a plucking, enjoy yourself more, are fairer to the 
athletes who represent you. There is nothing snobbish in 
such an arrangement; there is nothing to prevent others 
from adhering to the same pattern. Arthur Daley of the 
J^ew Tor\ Times remarked, "If the natural leaders don't 
take the lead in this movement to purify our collegiate 
athletic structure, it's a lead-pipe cinch no one else even 
will attempt it. No other organization ever set up as many 
safeguards, clear-cut and uncompromising, to protect its 
principles as the Big Eight. At least they're going to give 
it the old college try. More power to them." 

► There were sour notes in the editorializing, of course. 
"What will happen if that crowd interest is not sustained 
and the over-size stadia, neatly festooned with ivy, are half 
empty? Football is an expensive sport." A recurring pro- 
test was that the Ivy colleges were slamming the gates in 
the face of boys who would not gain an education except 
through the medium of athletic scholarships, yet all agreed 
that "the scramble after talent after the last war was utterly 
disgraceful." 

But it sounded as though the sports writers would have 
been more receptive if the presidents had actually formed a 
league. "Football," Jesse Abramson of the T^ew Tor\ HeraM 
Tribune observed, "continues as the only non-league sport 
among the Ivy colleges." Most of the members are already 
organized in baseball, basketball, hockey, and swimming; 
they announce weekly standings. Brown, however, is not 
a member of any of the leagues already in existence. 

And what of human nature? What of the over-zealous 
alumnus who goes off on his own to help outfit a good 
athlete in an Ivy uniform, without the knowledge of his 
Alma Mater? Can that be controlled? The presidents 
said, let's put it on a basis of integrity. "Wise and flexible 
administration in the setting of mutual respect and good 
faith should produce results of great benefits to the game as 
well as to the institutions participating. It is firmly believed 
that the undertaking as a whole has large promise and 
should be given every available support." 

And what of Brown's peculiar problem: its desire to 
play football with these seven colleges, six of them far 
larger, and its normal desire to win an occasional game? 
That will remain pretty much as it always has been, unless 
our student body grows. Brown's victories in Ivy competi- 
tion will continue few and all the sweeter when they come. 
They'll be just as sweet under the new rules. i 

Promotion for Cecil Cross 

► Cecil M. P. Cross '15 has been promoted to the rank

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



Headliners < 



In IS'ew Hampshire's Legislature 

► Three Brown alumni were members of the 1945 ses- 
sion of the House of Representatives of the New Hampshire 
Legislature. They were: 

Howard N. Kingsford '94, representing Hanover. Dr. 
Kingsford received his M.D. from Dartmouth Medical 
School. He was Professor of Pathology in the Dartmouth 
Medical School for 43 years and Medical Director of Dart- 
mouth College for 40 years, though now retired. He has 
been president of the New Hampshire Board of Registra- 
tion in Medicine and member of the State Board of Health. 
This was his second term in the New Hampshire Legislature. 

William H. Hurlin '16, representing Antrim. He is 
President of Abbott Company and Treasurer and General 
Manager of Goodell Company, both manufacturing estab- 
lishments located in Antrim. 

Benjamin H. Yerxa '17, representing Sutton. He is owner 
and proprietor of the Huntoon House in Sutton. i 

Col. Krelzmann in Vienna 

► Prof. Edwin M. J. Kretzm.^nn now holds the military 
rank of Lt. Col., following a ceremony in "Vienna in w-hich 
the deputy commander of U. S. Forces in Austria pinned 
the silver leaves on his shoulders recently. Col. Kretzmann 
is serving with USFA Hqrs. 

Col. Kretzmann entered the Army in October, 1942, 
after having trained military interrogators at Brown and 
heading up the office of military information as assistant 
to the Dean. He was assigned to overseas duty in May, 
1944^ with Third Army Hqrs. in Metz. He also served 
with the 12th Army Group, and Allied Force Hqrs. in the 
Mediterranean Theatre of Operations. In addition to the 
Bronze Star Medal, he holds three battle participation 
stars. < 

Advancement at Chicago 

► Dr. W.\rren C. Johnson, who received his Ph.D. at 
Brown in 1924, is the new Chairman of the Chemistry De- 
partment at the University of Chicago, where he has been 
teaching since 1927. He held an important administrative 
post in the Metallurgical Project under Dr. Arthur H. 
Compton which conducted fundamental investigations un- 
derlying the development of the atomic bomb. i 



Chinese College President 

► Prof. Rich.^rd P. Bien '24, Dean of the School of 
Science at Hua Chung (Central China) College, is serving 
the institution as its Acting President. Before the war the 
college was located at Wuchang on the Yangtze but later 
moved to a small town by the name of Hsichow near Tali, 
in western Yunnan province at the foot of the Himalayas. 

Hua Chung College is one of the institutions participat- 
ing in the Yale-in-China program. Its home base is Chang- 
sha, but the various units were compelled to move to differ- 
ent locations in Free China as a result of war conditions. 
This decentralization was purely a wartime expedient, and 
a group is already back in Changsha. 

Prof. Bien. member of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi at 
Brown, has been teaching since his return to the Orient, 
first as instructor and then professor at Northeastern Uni- 
versity in Mukden. In 1929 moved on to the Yale-in-China 
School of Science, which later became part of Central China 
College. He came back to the States in the 30s to get his 
Ph.D. at M.I.T. Bien had been Dean of the School of 
Science until five years ago when he resigned in order to 
devote his whole time to the development of his chosen de- 
partment, physics. He was renamed Dean only this year. 

Dr. Bien is the member of a famous Brown family: His 
father Z. S. Bien was a graduate in 1912, an uncle Chung- 
foo F. S. Bien was a member of the class of 1917. A brother, 
Paul '2S, took his Ph.D. at Brown in 1932, as did George 
S-N. Bien two years later. i 

W hen Japs Are Tried 

► Joseph B. Keen.\n '10, formerly assistant to the Attor- 
ney General of the United States, was appointed by General 
MacArthur in November to counsel his staff for the trials 
of persons charged with planning and waging war in viola- 
tion of treaties. The announcement in Tokyo said this 
charge was defined as "such wat crimes as consist of plan- 
ning, preparing, initiating, or waging a war of aggression 
or in violation of international treaties "and agreemnts or 
of participating in a common plan or conspiracy for any of 
the foregoing purposes." i 

Minister to Afghanistan 

► Ely Eliot P.^lmer 'OS, formerly U. S. Consul General 
in Sydney, Australia, and as such host to many a Brunonian 
in the armed services there, has sailed to assume his new 
duties as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten- 
tiary to Afghanistan. i 



Camp Bijur in Use 

> The late Capt. Arthur H. Bijur "41 was 
one of the first graduates of the Army Sig- 
nal Corps OCS at Fort Monmouth, N. J. 
Monmouth has now honored his memory hy 
naming the OCS Field Camp there Camp 
Bijur for him. Lt. Leo J. Martineau "46, 
lately of the OCS, told us of the memorial 
in a recent visit to the Alumni Office. 

Bijur was killed on Luzon in January, 
1945. During an enemy barrage, the shells 
were landing closer and closer to his com- 
pany's area. With complete disregard for 
his own safety, the Captain crawled out of 
his foxhole, moved about among his men 
and warned them to get to safety as the 
bracket of enemy fii*e would soon run 
through their vicinity. His last word of 
warning had hardly been given when a shell 
landed within a few feet of him. 

The act brought the posthumous award 
of the Silver Star. The citation: "Capt. 
Bijur's keen devotion to duty, loyal con- 
sideration for his men, and great courage 
as shown by his gallant act at the cost of his 
life, were an inspiration to his men which 
will be long remembered." ^ 



Providence ATO's Meet 

> Laurence Curtis, Chief of Province 
XVI, was the principal speaker at the fall 
dinner meeting of the Providence Alumni 
Association of Alpha Tau Omega. Silver 
Circle Certificates were presented to Jerome 
L. Fisher "23 and Harold C. Johnston by 
Vice-President Edwin M. Knights "17. Sec- 
retary Arthur B. Schweikart "3 1 reports that 
future social activities were also planned. ^ 

Bluisdell's Birthday 

► Ace does not wither nor custom stale 
the interest of Nathaniel Blaisdell "83 in 
sports. On his 83rd birthday he went to a 
double header in baseball between San 
Francisco and Seattle, watched the Seattle 
team beat his home team twice, and then 
headed for the California Tennis Club to 
play a set with a former Pacific Coast Wom- 
an Champion. Hed asked her to rally a few 
balls and quit for the day. But the rallying 
went so well that they tried a game, and 
that went so well that they kept on and 
finished the set. Blaisdell lost 4-6, but was 
not in disgrace, as four of the games were 
deuced and one of them was deuced three 

56 



times. He is a founder and a director of the 
Tennis Club. And he is akso serving his 47th 
year in succession as President of the Brown 
Club of Alta California. i 

Praise for this Penguin 

* Dr. Arthur B. Cleaves "27 of the Of- 
fice of Scientific Research and Development 
has received from Secretary of the Navy 
James Forrestal a letter of commendation 
recognizing his "meritorious services during 
the conduct of research and test operations 
which resulted in the development of the 
model 'Penguin" boat, designed for the 
purpose of traversing difficult terrain im- 
passable to other available amphibious ve- 
hicles."' Secretary Forrestal concluded: "By 
your keen enthusiasm, tactful cooperation 
and brilliant professional abilities, you have 
contributed essentially to the development 
of urgently needed equipment vital to the 
success of the war effort."

Arthur Upham, "the world's fore- 
most authority on Persia" and direc- 
tor of the Iranian Institute at 9 East 
89th St., New York, which he 
founded in 1930. "With the possible

he has undoubtedly made a larger 
contribution to Persia's welfare than 
any other man in history," said the 
writer, Robert Lewis Taylor. 

"For many years. Pope was known 
chiefly as a professor of philosophy. 
At such places as Brown ( from which 
he was graduated in 1904) and the 
University of California, his classes 
were exceptionally popular, but he 
was fighting against odds. His body 
was in the lecture room, but his spirit 
was in Persia." (In the home of two 
aunts in Boston he'd seen two Per- 
sian rugs as a child: "I looked at 
those rugs, and it was like a call to 
the pulpit.") ^

One of Prof. Herbert M. (Tony) Hof- 
ford"s best publicity efforts is now in cir' 
culation. As extension editor at Rhode 
Island State College he was asked to take 
over publication of the annual extension 
service report. The idea was to give life 
and color to material that had always 
looked dull and drab. "The result of Tony 
Hoflord's work is evident," said Leonard 
O. Warner, the Providence Journal farm 
editor. "The 1944 annual report is out, 
and an interesting piece of work it is. Tony 
has embellished the annual report by using 
many cartoons, replacing the ordinary staid 
cover with a photograph of a beautiful girl, 
and otherwise using clever editorial tech- 
niques to dress up the publication. My 
guess is that people who never before took 
more than a glance at the annual report 
will read it through this year." 

Capt. Robert M. Addoms, AAF, has the

His Bloody Buckets 

> Brig. Gen. Basil H. Perry '15, 
who commanded the artillery of the 
28th Division in the European Thea- 
tre, returned with his outfit in Au- 
gust. The division held off nine Nasi 
divisions in the Battle of the Bulge 
and then turned on the offensive in 
the victorious push. A German pris- 
oner pointed to the shoulder insignia 
which shows the red keystone of the 
Keystone State and said, "We call 
you Der Blutig Eimer — the Bloody 
Bucket Division," a nickname which 
the unit proudly adopted. 

Gen. Perry received the Legion of 
Merit early in the war for his plan- 
ning of the Officer Candidate Schools 
of the Army. In combat overseas he 
won the Bronse Star with cluster and 
the French Legion of Honor. He has 
a Croix de Guerre and a Silver Star 
for gallantry in action in the first 
World War. i

since it appeared in late May. D. Appleton- 
Century is the publisher. "It is the story 
of a woman who did good to others and 
got no thanks for it," In a thoroughly sym- 
pathetic review in the Providence Sunday 
journal. W. T. Scott "31, the hterary editor, 
said that the novel "brings to completion 
years of apprenticeship, years of many 
stories and many novels, done without en- 
couragement or publication, with no reason 
hut the compulsion to write — to write what 
one wanted to write, as one wanted to write 
it; years of it with no reward but that, 
which is a reward only other serious writers 
can appreciate and many of those would 
not find it enough." But, of course, 
George's fiction has been rewarded by a 
number of the big magazines in the past 
few years.

A GeneraVs Greeting 

> "From a hard-bitten general of 
World War II, Brig. Gen. Francis W. 
Rollins (Brown 1916) has become 
an official greeter," wrote Robert 
Moore in the Providence journal in 
November. "It's a far cry from whis- 
tling artillery shells to whistling GI's 
crowding the deck of a transport 
moving up the Hudson River, but ap- 
parently both jobs require the serious 
attention of a general." 

In line with a new army policy, he 
was the first division commander to 
wave good bye to his troops in the 
ETO and then like a jack-in-the-box 
pop up again in New York to wel; 
come them home. "Morale work," 
the general called it. 

As commander of the Black Pan- 
ther Division that pinned down 70,- 
000 Germans in Lorient and St. 
Nazaire, he knows what action is. 
(He was an artillery captain in the 
earlier war, for that matter, too.) 
And he felt he was still "saving the 
men from casualties" with his wel- 
come: "There's an awful possibility 
that the boys will get cynical in the 
last few weeks of service, and come 
to think their superiors, who asked 
so much in battle, have forgotten 
them now. We can stop that" ^

lowing letter from Plymouth, Eng-

you may be a relative of mine. My

stock, and she had a brother Tom, 
whose son George went to America

We've been privileged to see a fine nar- 
rative account of the storming of Iwo Jima 
written by Lt. George R. Coughlan, Jr. He 
made the famous raising of the flag on Mt. 
Suribachi exciting even at second hand, for 
the sight thrilled the fleet. "On the ship, 
men paused in their work as the word was 
passed over the public address system. 
Some cheered, some stood silent, some just 
thanked God." George had been selected 
to give the message at divine service on the 
morning before D-Day and had just an 
hour's notice to prepare his thoughts for 
400 sailors and marines. "For an hour we 
had peace and quiet together with God in 
our humble, unskilled way. Within ten min- 
utes after church all had again donned their 
life belts and knives and were back at war 
posts."

One was his Harvard Phi Beta Kappa poem. 
A major review by Horace Gregory, an- 
other name to reckon with in American 
poetry, said: "If, as Jean Cocteau once 
said, 'a poet wishes to be believed rather 
than praised," then Winfield Scott has 
accomplished more than any poet of his 
immediate generation in America, and 
today one cannot name an American poet 
under 40 who with more courage and more 
fortunate results has written a better book 
than Winfield Scott's 'To Marry Stran-

^ G. D. HouTMAN "16 got a free ad 
on page one of the Chester Times 
down in Pennsylvania the other day. 
According to the newspaper, Hout- 
man, assistant county engineer, "a 
capable engineer who held the job 
for 20 years," went to the County 
Commissioners last summer and told 
them that he felt his 43 30 office was 
unnecessary. This marked departure 
from orthodox political practice re- 
sulted in his "friendly dismissal." 

Houtman is now a consulting civil 
engineer at 14 South Ave., Media, 
Pa., and the paper advertised the 
fact. "Any political jobholder who is 
frank and honest enough to tell his 
bosses that his job is no longer neces- 
sary deserves a free plug, as well as 
the sincere and lasting appreciation 
of his neighbors." < 



He Met the Yanks Coming In 

^ y The Associated Press identified him merely as a "Phi Beta Kappa graduate 
of Brown University," but he was quickly identified on College Hill as Sang-Kyu 
Pack '05. Pack had been Johnny-on-the-Spot when Lt. Gen. John R. Hodge reached 
Korea to become its military governor in September. Before the General had a 
chance to land in Seoul harbor, Pack came out in a small boat and presented him- 
self as a candidate for the post of Minister of Finance. 

Pack was not wearing his Phi Beta Kappa key. That is back here at Brown (on 
exhibition in the John Hay Lihray at the moment, as a matter of fact) where he 
had sent it for safe-keeping a few years ago. Prof. William T. Hastings, secretary 
these many years of the R. I. Alpha of Phi Beta Kappa, recalls Pack as a brilliant 
student; the Class of 1905 recalls him as a colorful, loyal member. In a letter written 
in 1927 to Class Secretary Charles H. Robinson, Pack remembered a boast he had 
made at the time of the Senior Class Dinner — that he would have eight children and 
send them all to Brown. In 1927 he had only six, and his oldest boy was about to 
come to the States to prepare for the University. But the latter never reached Col- 
lege Hill — he'd encountered such prejudice in the United States against Orientals 
that he had decided not to go to college in this country after all. 

The elder Pack served in the Korean government for three years, entered banking 
for a while, but took to teaching m time — first in Posung College, then in Chosen 
Christian College. He wrote that he liked teaching so much that he turned down 
an offer to become president of the former institution. i

when he entered the Navy in 1942. After 
graduating from the Naval War College in 
June, 1943, he was Flag Secretary to Rear 
Admiral Daniel E. Barbey, the famous am-

when he sent in his Alumni Fund gift in 
May, he had traveled 12,000 miles, been

burial services for nearly 2000 men. A 
combat correspondent with the 4th Marines 
described his work in a news story that told

Okinawa on April 26. "To our surprise, 
resistance then was light, and for the first 
time the Marine Corps was treated to a real

and the ensuing battle ashore. The regi-

The White Horses of Hirohito 

► ► The emperor's white horse comes out of this war almost as famous as 
Bucephalus but confused. In the first place, there were so many of him, and so 
many of his riders weren't Hirohito. In the Orient, Maj. Gen. William C. Chase 
'16 and Admiral Halsey indulged in their own hit of horse-play, but in Europe it 
was Col. Dwight T. Colley '18 who put one over on the Mikado. 

It was in September, and General Patton was visiting the 26th Division at Reid, 
Austria, where Col. Colley's 328th Infantry arranged to put on a horse show for 
him. The horses were those of a 300-year-old Viennese Riding Academy, all white 
stallions of a celebrated Arabian-Spanish strain. Colley persuaded the General to 
ride the stallion, Africa, which Hitler had selected and presented to Emperor Hio- 
hito. It had been impossible to make delivery. 

With the award of the Russian Medal of Bravery last summer. Col. Colley be- 
came the recipient of decorations from three foreign powers, in addition to several

cially for overseas shipment. 

"Dark of the Moon" is one of the de-

lived previous appearance hereabouts to his 
credit," said Rowland Field, staff man of

1st Lt. Clark T. Foster, AC, was suddenly 
ordered home last winter to learn Japanese 
and other matters at the School of Military

"Stopping over one night on the flight 
back, I saw Lt. Joshua Rothstein '41 sit- 
ting in exactly the same chair in the mess 
hall where I'd seen him on the way over 
a year before. He'd flown many ferrying 
miles in between. In a city in China miles 
from the nearest American established base 
I met Lt. Ed Jones '33 living in magnificent 
though lonely splendor. I visited Capt.

played center for the Walker Bombers and 
coached this fast basketball quintet. "The 
fastest breaking and playing team I have 
ever seen," Vadal Peterson, coach of the 
national collegiate champions at the Uni-

The Secret of SACO 

> One of the best-kept secrets 
of the war was SACO, the Sino- 
American Co-operative Organiza- 
tion. Working side by side, its Chi- 
nese and American members were 
the only source of essential intelli- 
gence in China for the prowling 
U. S. Fleet and the American sub- 
marines off the coast. Weather, com- 
munications, and intelligence sta- 
tions were set up all the way from the 
borders of Indo-China to the north- 
ern reaches of the Gobi Desert, with 
a concentration of activities behind 
the north-south Japanese lines along 
the China Coast. Not one SACO 
member was ever detected, although 
it meant crossing enemy lines many 
times. 

A leader in this continuous ex- 
ploit, the Marine Corps revealed this 
fall, was Capt. Earl B. Dane, Jr., '42. 
He carried with him a pistol which 
his father, Capt. Earl B. Dane '11, 
had used in France in the other 
World War. ^

Why They Faint Dead Away 

► > What makes strong men faint? What makes a soldier pass out while stand- 
ing at attention? What pilots won't black out? 

Dr. H. S. Mayerson '22, who has recently been named head of the Department 
of Physiology at the Tulane University Medical School, conducted research on 
fainting which proved of definite military value during the war. 

One out of three persons will faint after standing erect and motionless for five or 
six minutes, he learned. And the tests showed that athletes and big men are just as 
susceptible as little fellows. To combat the tendency, you need only tighten your 
muscles a bit. Dr. Mayerson reports. This muscle tonus holds the blood up in the 
body, preventing that draining from the brain which brings on the fainting. 

A big night out or even loss of sleep can be detected in a more severe test. The 
subject pedals hard on a stationary bicycle for 10 minutes and then leans back in a 
comfortable but almost vertical position, completely relaxed and motionless. Paint- 
ers are apt to pass out in three or four minutes. The man who has had a gay night 
is hkely to pass out at once. i

he decided to stay in for a while longer in 
order to see more of China and Japan, and 
is now in for the duration of the emergency. 
In China he was stationed up in the hills 
where the B-29's made their first landings, 
and greatly admired the Chinese way of put- 
ting everything to use. When he was look- 
ing for land for a cemetery, he was unable 
to find anyway because all of it was under 
cultivation. He was wearing several battle 
stars on his service ribbons.

bility of games played outside the regular 
season, such as pre-season games and spring 
games, ( 3 ) the extent of spring practice 
and the timing of the start of fall practice, 
(4) the proper place and treatment of 
scouting, (5) athletic publicity, (6) operat- 
ing budgets and ticket prices, (7) the con- 
trol of "extracurricular" activity of coaches 
(such as broadcasting, or writing for pub- 
lication on the subject of athletics, or the 
endorsement of commercial products). 

B. Committee on Eligibility 

> Each institution shall name a repre- 
sentative, who shall be a full-time member 
of the academic faculty, to serve on a com- 
mittee to administer rules of eligibility set 
by agreement of the participating institu- 
tions. The committee's administration of 
these rules shall be with due regard to the 
circumstances in individual cases and at all 
times in a manner calculated to promote the 
amateur spirit. 

The Committee on Eligibility shall have 
a chairman and a secretary, the latter chosen 
by the committee itself. The chairmanship 
of the committee shall be held in annual 
rotation by the faculty representatives of 
the member institutions in the reverse order 
of institutional seniority. There shall be a 
vice chairman, who shall be the member of 
the committee next in line for the chairman- 
ship. The chairman shall set the date and 
place of the regular meetings and of any 
special meetings requested by the represen- 
tatives of any three member institutions. (It 
may be well for this committee to meet oc- 
casionally with the Committee on Admin- 
istratiori.) 

Each institution agrees to provide com- 
plete information to the Eligibility Commit- 
tee concerning al! candidates for freshman 
and varsity football teams. It is expected 
that the information required by the com- 
mittee will largely relate to course grades, 
academic standing, prior academic con- 
nections, if any, and financial aid. The com- 
mittee shall be free at all times to request 
from the member institutions whatever in- 
formation it deems necessary to the success- 
ful discharge of its duties. 

The Committee on Eligibility shall rec- 
ommend to the participating institutions 
such principles of eligibility as it believes 
should be adopted, and shall draft detailed

No. 3 



rules necessary to the sound and effective 
administration of the principles of eligi- 
bility approved by the participating insti- 
tutions. These detailed rules shall be in- 
variably reported to the subscribing insti- 
tutions. Rulings on the eligibility of indi- 
vidual players shall be settled by a majority 
vote of the Eligibility Committee and en- 
forced by the proper institutional author- 
ities. 

► The FOLLOWING principles are agreed 
to ab initio: 

1. No student shall be eligible for a 
varsity team until he has completed satis- 
factorily an academic year's work at the 
college or university he is to represent. (Ex- 
ceptions may be made for men who have 
been or still are in Army, Navy or Marine 
Corps training.) 

2. No student shall be ehgible for a 
varsity team in more than three different 
academic years. 

3. Only undergraduate students shall be 
eligible for a varsity team. 

4. No student shall be eligible unless he 
is in good scholastic standing as determined 
by the standards set by the faculty of his 
institution. 

5. We reaffirm our disapproval of ath- 
letic scholarships. No student shall be 
eligible who has received financial support 
from any source except (a) from personal 
or family resources, (b) in return for serv- 
ices (other than of an athletic character) 
rendered through employment at normal 
wages, (c) from scholarships awarded 
through the regular academic channels of 
the institution in which the player is a stu- 
dent, (d) from government grants to war 
service veterans. 

Exceptions to these rules may be allowed 
in individual cases in which the circum- 
stances arc unusual and the Committee on 
Eligibility is of the opinion that the excep- 
tion will be in accord with the spirit and 
intent of this agreement. 

> The committee on Eligibility will un- 
dertake to formulate as soon as possible a 
principle governing the eligibility of trans- 
fer students. This should be submitted to 
the member institutions for possible amend- 
ment and approval. In general, it is ex- 
pected that the recommended policy with 
respect to transfer students, possibly except- 
ing war service veterans and junior college 
graduates, will provide that no transfer 
student shall he eligible until he has satis- 
factorily completed a normal academic year 
in the institution to which he has trans- 
ferred 

In all phases ol this agreement, as well 
as in the work of the proposed committees, 
no important and enduring results arc likely 
to be obtained except as the relationship 
of the subscribing institutions is genuinely 
cooperative. Rigid application of set rules 
is almost certain to doom the undertaking 
to failure. On the other hand, wise and 
flexible administration in the setting of 
mutual respect and good faith among the 
subscribing institutions should produce re- 
sults of great benefit to the game as well 
as to the institutions participating. It is 
firmly believed that the undertaking as a 
whole has large promise and should be 
given every available support
