BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER, 1946 VOL. XLVII NUMBER 2 ► ► It Will Be a Triumphant Year, If . . . ► Brown was ready with its new curriculum, postwar planning in that respect was well advanced. Ever since V-J Day the search for new faculty has been pressed with unrelenting vigor; in a highly competitive market many more new appointments have been made than in any year in Brown's history — and some of the most distinguished. Emergency housing is at last under way, and a new class- room building is going up in record time. A permanent dormitory for Pembroke is under construction and Brown housing plans await enough gifts and adequate materials To take care of as many students as possible historic policy has been jettisoned and late afternoon and evening classes have been provided for veterans so that they may earn their degrees even though not eligible for the regular courses. In short everything is being done which can humanly be attempted to fulfill the hopes of youth and the expecta- tions of the public. The year will be a triumph for educa- tion if there is understanding public support and unwearied patience to match the energy and resourcefulness of the faculty. < From the Providence Sunday journal. BY HENRY M. WRISTON ► ► In A WORLD OF CRISES — political, economic, diplomatic — none is more acute than the educational. The situation is critical at both ends, demand and supply. The demand for college training surpasses all previous records. This was to be e.xpected after the war. It arises from two factors, one temporary and one permanent. A temporary surge was sure because there are many who planned to be in college, but were in the armed forces instead. As the war lengthened their number multiplied. The speed of demobilization de- livered that huge pent-up demand all at once, or nearly so. Those boys are in a hurry. They feel that war service has made them two, three, or four years late in the civilian race. They want to waste no time, and the idea of waiting another year is naturally and properly distasteful. The permanent increase in demand arises partly from the war and partly from forces already at work. The accelera- tion of demand has been almost continuous for 30 years. Earnestness about the democratic ideal, a disturbed labor market, eagerness to "get ahead," and mere social conven- tion combined to stimulate attendance at college. All these forces were greatly intensified by the war. Democracy now embraces, even more than before, the ideas of social and economic as well as political equality of opportunity. Vet- erans rightly feel the "trained" mind has a better chance for a good job. Finally as more go to college, still more fol- low the crowd. When government pays part of the cost the rush is overwhelming. ► Supply is the other prong of the crisis — and a very sharp one. Larger numbers require more space in classrooms; labo- ratories, hbraries, dormitories, and dining rooms. But war restrictions forbade e.xpanding facilities to meet the clearly foreseen need. Postwar shortages of materials, exorbitant costs, and slow rate of construction make it difficult if not impossible promptly to supply deficiencies. Larger numbers require more equipment — books, micro- scopes, chemicals, and literally hundreds of other items. During the war the normal wear and tear continued; indeed it increased because of the year-round continuous program ; meanwhile replacements were unavailable. There is less usable equipment now than before the war. Most needed items are in short supply, deliveries are long delayed, and costs are high. Often essential teaching materials are not obtainable at all. Larger numbers require new programs of study to meet the varying capacities and interests of the students. More prograrns for more students require more teachers. And teachers constitute the most critical shortage of all. During the war new instructors were not being trained; there is, therefore, no reservoir upon which to draw. The available number has been lessened by the normal number of deaths and retirements; it was reduced even further and even faster by the recruitment of personnel for government and industry from among the professors — the largest body of experts available, and the most poorly paid. That is the situation — more students than ever, no more space, inadequate equipment, and a famine of teachers. To meet the crisis every facility is being stretched to its limits, emergency measures are being adopted. ^ Preview and Apology BY EMERY R. WALKER, JR. Dean of Admission ► ► AS THIS IS WRITTEN, twelve days before the beginning of Freshman Week, the entering class is 764 strong. This is by far the largest new class Brown has ever had — nearly twice the size of the average pre-war class. At the same time it is the most highly selective group that ever entered Brown, for these men were chosen from nearly 5,000 bona fide applicants. In the next issue of the alumni monthly I hope to make a complete report on all aspects of the group. However, the bare figures given above may suggest how great a tur- moil the Admission Office has been in since the first of the year, and it is because of this turmoil that we have been unable to give alumni and friends of the University the service to which they are entitled, Letters have gone unanswered for weeks; telephone calls have failed to reach us; admission materials have been mislaid; in many ways we have fallen down. For these things I extend abject apologies. However, some additional facts should be presented. We will receive over 100,000 pieces of mail in the Admission Office this year; on many days the total was over 500. Every one of the nearly 5,000 aplications involved at least five exchanges of mail; some required twenty or more. Telephone calls have come in at the rate of over 100 a day; some days it was twice that. As many as 50 people have called personally at the office in one day. Filing became an unbelievably complicated problem, with tens of thou- sands of letters and credentials to be handled. Superhuman effort was not enough. We have worked an average of 65 hours a week; many weeks we put in 80 hours. Secretarial help was hired as fast as it could be found. Still we could not keep up. THE COVER PHOTO: Beeide the Marvel Gym and across Elmgrove Avenue from the Brown stadium, seven former Navy barracks rose rapidly in September, ultimately (and soon, we hope) to bouse families of 100 married students at the University. (Brotvn Photo Lab photo) BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY I offer these facts only in the hope that the situation that faced us will be better understood. These are not excuses but explanations. We deeply appreciate the extensive inter' est alumni have shown in the class. We are sincerely sorry for those occasions when we failed to live up to that inter- est. And we particularly regret that there was no place at Brown for so many good applicants in whom our under- standing alumni had special interest. Working It Out < ► ► LONG BEFORE Sept. 25, the date on which the Van Wickle Gates were to swing inward for the start of Brown's lS2nd academic year, it was apparent that there were acute problems in connection with the double-size College and University. The overwhelming Freshman class of 800 men was expected the previous week, with the population of the College estimated at 2650, as com- pared with the pre-war class figures of 400 and total stu- dent body of 1400. To the north, Pembroke was experienc- ing a similar growth, begun during the war, and registra- tion was expected to hit 825; a Graduate School of 400 students was indicated. On top of all this, the new Vet- erans Extension Division, with courses of college standard and for college credit, will be over 450. The grand total is 4325. Of the Freshmen, roughly 55% will be veterans of mili- tary service, the balance coming directly from high school or prep school. Emery R. Walker, Dean of Admission, has described the entering group as the strongest in Uni- versity history from an academic point of view, because of the extraordinary competition among applicants and the degree of selection exercised as the result. Probably 4000 boys were denied admission. The volume of activity in the Admission Office is reported elsewhere by Dean Walker and is shown in the fact that its staff has grown from one officer and three secretaries to four men and 1 1 secretaries. Two hundred phone calls a day, 500 letters a day, and 100,000 pieces of mail in a year suggest the pressure, which has been met by 80-hour weeks in that office. ► Thirty-six St.ates are represented in the Freshman class, as well as Hawaii, and nine foreign students from seven countries — in addition to those 1 1 1 other members of the Class of 1950 who had started their studies in the summer session. New undergraduates include those from Canada, Greece, Italy, China, Norway, Guatemala, and the Domi- nican Republic, with others applying from India, Germany, Turkey, Poland, Hungary, France, and several Central and South American countries. A housing dilemma, solved as described on another page, complicated the admissions problem. Among efforts to cope with the inadequate facilities was the contemplated rental of summer hotels in Wickford and Narragansett. A wonderful public response opened private homes to Brown students, saving the situation for several hundred of them, and no one was without housing for more than a couple of days, during which time cots in the Marvel Gym gave a place to sleep until they located something from among rooms listed with the Emergency Housing office in Faunce House. Tender of a Brown and Sharpe apprentices' dormitory eased the problem for 27. With the start of the new curriculum at Brown, another factor enters the necessary planning, but there will be no full basis for schedules until registration. How do you predict book demands? Past percentages and distributions provide no positive guide, since course offerings are so dif- ferently accented, and the usual early registration was out of the question. Counselors, who expected to work from 9 a. m. to 10 p. m. in Freshman week, found early that Biology 1 would be over-registered, for example. Between 40 and 50 sections will be necessary to handle more than 1100 men taking Freshman English, according to another early estimate. You can imagine the problem the Regis- trar faced in having to work out assignments of men to the limited classroom space under the circumstances, and the department heads' figuring to provide the instruction. Whitehall, the new classroom building behind Marston Hall on Brook St., is going up with what would be fair speed even in normal times, but its' provision for 900 lecture auditors will not case the load until the semester is a few weeks old. ► In pl.'vnning for the Convocation to open College, Act- ing Vice-President Arnold realised that no more than 1000 students would be able to enter Sayles Hall. The balance will hear President Wriston's speech through amplifiers outdoors. Once College starts, there will be three chapels a week in order to provide a service for each student once a week. Supplying books in an impossible market, handhng vet- erans' finances, regulating library use, distribution of mail, speeding delivery of desks, lockers for off-campus students, feeding the large College — these will be some of the ques- tions. The Purchasing Department, tackling problems that range from refrigerators to football uniforms; the Stenog- raphic Bureau, with vast orders of mimeographing and mail- ing to be done in a hurry; Buildings and Grounds, with the whole readying of the physical property to worry about — the pressure passed no one by. The thing to marvel at was the good spirit, the understanding, and the patience on every hand. The Freshmen will be greeted by a rigorous academic schedule and elaborate social program. The newcomers encounter a week of placement, aptitude, and distribution tests; conferences with advisors, orientation lectures, and other official and unoffiicial advice; physical examinations required of all, swimming tests, and the whole introduc- tion to Brunonia. As usual, a student committee of the BCA will help the newly arrived to find their way, a service more important than ever this year. The social side of the week will start with a supper, preliminary to a meeting in Sayles Hall where representatives of the Fa- culty, student body, and alumni will welcome them. An athletic night, a Freshman dance at Pembroke, a Pembroke dormitory open house, a BCA weekend at Camp Yawgoog in the pre-war fashion, student-Faculty reception, coffee hour for students and Providence clergy, and movies fill the calendar. It will easily be Brown's biggest Freshman week, for in addition to the first year men, 200 transfers are also invited, and wives of married Freshmen will also be welcomed to most social events. ^ Dr. Bigelow, Recovered, to Travel ► Returned to good health after his serious illness and operations of last spring, Vice-President Bruce M. Bigelow resumes his work for Brown University in October, and Brunonians everywhere welcome him back. Dr. Bigelow will not be on duty in University Hall for some time, how- ever, for he will be traveling in the interests of the alumni program and the Housing Campaign. His first trip will take him to Washington and Baltimore, and later itinera- ries will probably include the Middle West and Far West. Dean Samuel T. Arnold will continue as Acting Vice- President until Dr. Bigelow has completed his work in the field. < 40 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY FRESHMAN WEEK meant te^^ting, as the record-breaking group in the Class of 1950 took placement, proficiency and other exams. One section, in Sayles Hall, is shown above. On the Gridiron < By PAUL F. GLEESON '32 Director of Athletic Publicity FIRST SCORE: Brown 14, Canisius 7. ► ► Competition for posts on the 1946 Brown football team had never been so keen as Head Coach Rip Engle drove his squad of 85 through intensive double-session drills before the opening of college. There was plenty of material to work with, but inexperience was readily noted. As Dick Fales says, that's why you have coaches. Fashioned from a squad composed of newly discharged veterans, ex-Bruins once again on the campus, a dash of 194i lettermen, plus a few civilian newcomers, this season's team should be deeper and stronger than that of last year. The only hitch in that is that all our opponents will be deeper and stronger, too. It isn't a question of how good you are but of how much better you are than your rivals. Radio Station WEAN (790 on the dial) will carry most if not all, of the Brown games. There have been days since Sept. i which have glad- derTed the hearts of the coaches, other days which have left them batting gloom all around their locker room after work. They seemed to feel that we would have a powerful, com- petent line, with question marks operating in the backfield T formation. No squad has ever seemed more willing, but there was a lot to be done in a short tmie, for the new rules of the Ivy Group restricted the length of the pre-season practice period. Not all opponents were so limited : Canisius, the opening day attraction Sept. 28, came to Brown Field primed with seven weeks of workouts under Earl Brown, former Brown assistant, that began Aug. 8. Still, Engle and Company crammed real progress into the sessions — morning and afternoon through Sept. 21, with three evening classes as well. A game scrimmage with Connecticut gave a chance to test the squad a bit before the official kickoff. ► Sixteen men in college have earned Brown varsity letters in the past, si.x of them on the 1945 eleven, includ- ing Captain Jim Lalikos, an All-New England lineman who operated for the North against the South at Montgomery. Ala., last winter. A few men had experience at other col- leges before coming to Brown. Five members of the 1942 team were out early — Roy Swingler, Bob Babcock, Hank Pilote and Charlie Bentley, backs, and Lou Regine, center, all veterans of military service. Other letter-men from pre- vious lineups include: Grimshaw, Nicholas, Finn, lacuele, and Schuster, from last Fall, and Coller, Pctropoulos, Dor- sey, and Hein~. 41 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Inexperience aside, the 1946 Bruin forward wall should be big, fast, and powerful (17 boys on the squad tip the scales at 200 or beyond), with especial strength at tackle and center. Lalikos and Paul Flick seemed to have clinched the starting assignments at tackle, but there is no need for them to play 60-minute ball. Flick, a native of West Vir- ginia, is one of the biggest boys on the squad and played both tackle and center in a year of pre-war play at the Uni- versity of Maryland. He was a standout in the spring practice. Bob Rougvic, brother of the late Andy Rougvie '33, has shown constant improvement, while Bill Grocut, a rugged Ameshury boy who attended Naval Academy Prep, is another contender. Another good tackle is Stan- ley A. Ward, Jr., son of the Rose Bowl player in the class of 1917. Catching the coaches' eye was Don Colo, a 255- pounder who stands 6-3 from East Bridgewater. Although he played basketball in school, this is his first try at the gridiron sport. The leading center candidate is Lou Regine, captain of the 1941 Freshman eleven. A strong offensive player, this Providence boy who came back from the armed forces last sprmg, is particularly notable as a line backer-up and pass defender. Until he was hurt, Regine's principal under- study was Joe Condon, a good place kicker, too, who starred at Wilbraham and Rockland High in Massachusetts. Now it's Ed Kiely, who was a high school rival at Abington, who is apparently number two of a good center contingent. Bud Schuster, who earned his letter last fall at center, has moved back to end. With him are George Boothby, who prepped at Marianapolis; Bob Searles of Rahway, and the greatly improved SpofF Brown of Amesbury, who is one of the best pass catchers. Paul Zuber, a former Brown end, is again a candidate, too. Among the guards Bill Hair of Worcester Classical has bolstered his chances on the strength of his quick blocking reactions and down-the-field work, and another newcomer is Bill McLellan, a former yearling at Colgate, who has been transferred from the tackle squad. They contest a position well fortified with former lettermen: Bob Hambleton, Norm lacuele, John Petropoulos, and Alan Coller, erstwhile end. Veteran Tom Nicholas was in here, too, until a broken wrist side- lined him. Alan Ross, 190-pound Ohioan, is the son of Eari C. Ross '08. ► Despite the first misgivings, the offense began to click as the rehearsals wore on. (Scrimmages had to be frequent and lengthy in order to appraise the large squad in a short time.) And the reports carried more than a few names, as each man seemed to have his good days. It will be con- sistency which will settle the argument for top quartet. Ed Finn is the only holdover from last year, the passing and dropkicking quarterback from Bethlehem, Pa. Preston Barry, southpaw passer from Weymouth, and the fast im- proving Red McLain also will see use in running the team and handling the ball in the Engle Wing-T. The pre-war lettermen, returned from the armed service, should be in the front of the scrap for starting nominations. Dorsey, who played at Coast Guard Academy during the two seasons between his year at Brown, has recovered his old agile power, while the elusive Swingler has also hit his stride after taking off some weight. Henry Pilote is bigger and heavier than when he came to Brown originally and is one of the leading punters. Charlie Bentley, chunky Negro who was a dependable blocker before the war, dropped off 35 pounds of unnecessary weight during the summer and looked very fit in the opening workouts; but he has lost his zest for football and may not stay out. The same is true of Bob Babcock, a versatile pre-war operative. Connie Karambelas is back after Navy wanderings, and Mannie Costa of last year's squad reported late. John Heinz was a letter- winning back while here with the V-12, and Clark has worn a Brown uniform before, too. Among the new faces are those of Joe Paterno, Brooklyn halfback, Marty Bissell of New Rochelle, and Bill Gresh from Wilbraham, all better than average carriers; Ernest Lyons of East Providence, a rugged line-bucker and hard runner and Bob Shaughnessy, a 195-pounder from Brook- lyn Prep, two promising fullbacks. Dave Taylor from Peddie broke loose at times in scrimmage, while Gaffney of St. John's Prep and Arnold Green from Worcester are breakaway runners, the former compact, the latter a bigger boy. Roger Young of Bay Shore, L. I., was going well when he hurt his shoulder. Poirier is another Freshman who has looked good in scrimmage. Milt Hodosh, NEAUU javelin champion, played football at Hope before going into the service and has joined the backs. Sharp of East Providence is a scrappy lightweight whose spirit Engle likes. Nothing is fixed in the backfield situation, and all need conditioning in the Engle offensive, so that you'll probably see many a replacement during four quarters. "They're all eager to learn," Engle says, "and they're easy to coach." Squad statistics appear elsewhere in this issue. Two other veterans whom the Brown boss would like to see in uniform are Roger Williams, former captain, and Joe McMullen, V-12 linesman. They are hack to get their regular degrees, but they probably won't be on the ap- proved grid list since they were awarded the special degree of Bachelor of Naval Science when they were commissioned from our Naval unit. They are out helping handle the huge squad. ► The Varsity schedule: Sept. 28 — Canisius, home. Oct. 5— Princeton, away. Oct. 12— R. I., home. Oct. 19— Dartmouth, home. Oct. 26 — B. U., home.

Weeb will be head coach of Varsity basketball this winter and is in charge of the backs under Engle. He reported at the opening of spring practice and has made a fine impres- sion with his drive, teaching ability, knowledge of the game, and his friendliness. His previous professional experience includes the teaching of physical education at his Alma Mater, where he also coached, before entering the Navy in 1 943 . While stationed at Great Lakes Naval Training Cen- ter, he was assistant coach of football and coach of basket- ball. Also popular is the new line coach, Gregory Zitrides of Manchester, N. H., who was the star guard on Dartmouth's 1936, 1937, and 1938 elevens. Gus went to Cornell in the year after his graduation to serve as head Freshman coach and Varsity assistant until 1942. During the war he was an officer in the Navy physical fitness program and in 1943 was coach of football at Chapel Hill, N. C. In addition to his football duties, Gus is serving as an instructor in Brown's physical education program. John Mclntyre, star center on Notre Dame's 1938 cham- pions, js back for a second straight season as assistant line coach. He was captain of the North team in the inter- sectional game with the South in 1940 and, as skipper of the night fighters on the Hornet, earned himself a flock of medals. Two Brunonians will have the Freshmen in hand. Paul A. O'Brien '45, former Varsity quarterback and track star, was discharged from the Navy last spring after destroyer and comes back to the campus to take charge of the yearling squad, in addition to serving as instructor in Physical Edu- cation. Assisting Pat is Arnold M. Soloway '42, outstand- ing tackle on the 1939, 1940, and 1941 teams. A veteran of Coast Guard duty in the Pacific, he will boss the first year ^"^' A Bequest from Dr. Marsden ► A $2500 BEQUEST for scholarship purposes was left in the will of Dr. George Marsden '00 of New Bedford, who died after a year's illness May 20, 1946. Prominent as a Physician in that city for 40 years, he had also been active and loyal on Brown's behalf. Born in Berkley, R. I., in 1878, he lived in New Bedford from boyhood, and was educated in its schools before coming to Brown. He took his medical studies at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Marsden was a member of the American, Massachusetts, and New Bedford Medical Societies, the Star of the East Lodge of Masons, the First Baptist Church, the Executive Club, and the Masonic Square and Compass Club. Mary Boardman Marsden, whom he married in 1909, survives him, together with his brother Alfred. < BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY ► Mackesey Returns HEIR-APPARENT to the post of Brown Ath- letic Director is Paul F. Mackesey '32, who commences his duties as associate director Oct. 1. ► ► "Back on the squad" was the heading on Lanning's cartoon in the Frovidence journal when Brown announced the return of Paul F. Mackesey '32 as Associate Director of Athletics. The Lynn lawyer, outstanding in two sports as an undergraduate, reports for duty Oct. 1 to work with the present Director of Athletics, Dr. Walter H. Snell '13. The first of the year Mackesey will succeed the latter, who will be relieved thus of the double burden which he has carried during the war years and will be able to devote full time to his responsibilities as Stephen T. Olney Profes- sor of Natural History and Chairman of the Department of Botany. Mackesey, recently out of the Army, was inducted as a private in 1942 and discharged as a Captain in 1946. He served overseas with the 100th Bomb Group, 8th Air Force as an intelligence officer. He attended Officers Can- didate School at Miami receiving his commission in the same class with Clark Gable. Prior to entering the service from 1938 to 1942 Macke- sey conducted his own law practice in Lynn, Massachusetts. He was graduated from Boston University law school with an L.L.B. degree in 1935 and was admitted to Massa- chusetts and Federal Bars. Between 1936 and 1938 he was connected with the Works Progress Administration recrea- tional program in Essex County, Massachusetts, and Lynn. ► Prof. Snell has been a member of the faculty since 1920, prominent in Brown athletics since his undergraduate days, and for 19 years coached in various sports including football, basketball and baseball. He has been doing a yeoman job as Athletic Director during the war years fol- lowing the resignation of Thomas W. Taylor in 1943. He adapted himself readily to the heavy demands of the post under abnormal conditions and won Brown many new friends. "I look forward to welcoming Paul Mackesey to the Athletic Office at the Marvel Gymnasium," Dr. Snell said in August. "He was one of Brown's finest football players 43 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY and was a prominent and popular undergraduate. He has been a very active alumnus. He knows Brown athletic traditions and policies and he has had executive experience. He has the qualifications to make the kind of director of athletics which Brown needs in the diffiicult coming years." Mackesey came to Brown from Lynn Classical High School in 1928 and shortly became active in campus affairs. He was president of his class as a Sophomore, an officer again in his Junior year, and First Marshal of the Seniors in 1932 when he received his Ph.B. as an economics major. He received honorable mention on several All-American football teams for his play as a tackle and captained the varsity in 1931 which won seven and lost three games. He played four years of lacrosse as well, being chosen captain of the freshman team. Mackesey sang in the Glee Club for three years, was chairman of the Junior Prom Committee, a member of Brown Key, Owl and Ring, the Senior Ball Committee, and the Cammarian Club. He served on the Undergraduate Athletic Council and was chairman his Senior year. His fraternity is Delta Tau Delta. ► After graduation he played both professional lacrosse and football. He was for a time a member of the champion Les Canadiens lacrosse team in Montreal and toured with the club in this country after the season. Entering Boston University Law School in the fall of 1932, he was assistant coach of lacrosse at Boston University and played tackle on the Fere Marquette eleven which won the New England professional football championship. Mackesey is a member of the Association of New England Football Officials and the Eastern Intercollegiate Association of Football Officials. He is a former president of the North Shore Brown Club and a member of the Boston Brown Club as well as a class agent in the Brown Alumni Fund. Married to Sara L. O'Donoghue, a graduate of Man- hattanville, he has one daughter Susan, two and a half years old. The new Associate Director of Athletics is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. Mackesey of Lynn, Massa- chusetts. His brother, Thomas W. Mackesey, is Professor of City Planning and Assistant Dean of the College of Architecture at Cornell University. ^ ASME Choices ^ ► ► President of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and one of his principal vice-presidents for 1946-47 will be drawn from the Brown Class of 1919. Nominations tantamount to election were listed in the August issue of Mechanical Engineering, with Eugene W. O'Brien, for 10 years vice-president of the W. R. C. Smith Publishing Company of Atlanta, Ga., indicated for the top post. Alton C. Chick was presented as the candidate for regional vice-president, renominated from New England for a year. Mr. O'Brien became a member of A.S.M.E. 25 years ago while a member of the Brown Engineering faculty. He had taken his B.S. in electrical engineering in 1919 and received his ScM. in mechanical engineering in 1921. After teaching at Brown for four years, he accepted a similar post at Sheffield Scientific School, Yale University, where he also earned the M. E. degree. He spent much of his time in consulting engineering, including some independent commissions in the fields of mechanical, electrical, and power design and construction. In 1927 Mr. O'Brien became editor-in-chief of the Southern Power Journal and in 1933 its managing director (later it became Southern Power and Industry). He has served the A.S.M.E. in many capacities: as man- ager 1931-34, as vice-president 1934-36, and on a number of committees. A member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, he is chairman of their national Com- mittee on Student Branches. During the war he was en- gineering consultant to the War Production Board and War Manpower Commission. He holds membership in the Newcomen Society of England, Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, Pi Tau Sigma, Tau Beta Pi, and Sigma Xi. At home he is chairman of the Fulton County (Atlanta) Planning and Zoning Commission, director of the Atlanta Athletic Club, East Lake Country Club; national director of the American Society of Plan- ning Officials; charter member of the Georgia Engineering Society, and member of the Society of American Military Engineers. He has contributed frequently to the technical and business press. ► This is also the 2'ith anniversary of Mr. Chick's associa- tion with A.S.M.E. He, too, was an instructor at Brown, in addition to getting two degrees in the Engineering Divi- sion. His service in World War I included assignment to the U. S. Naval Steam Engineering School and sea duty. Employed by the Associated Factory Mutual Fire Insurance Companies, he became principal assistant to its president, John R. Freeman, in 1922 and worked on a variety of problems in water supply, earthquake damage, and two 900-page books. Upon Mr. Freeman's death 10 years later he became engineer with the Manufacturers Group, later merged to become known as Manufacturers Mutual. Since 1938 he has been assistant vice-president and engineer, applying engineering principles to fire prevention and plant protection. His duties also involve the underwriting and rating of fire-insurance risks valued at more than $5,- 600,000,000. In A.S.M.E., Mr. Chick has been a member of the national executive committee for three years, chairman of the Providence section and chairman of the national com- mittee on relations with the colleges. He has been presi- dent of the Providence Engineering Society, treasurer of the Associated Alumni of Brown, vice-president of the Brown Engineering Association, and treasurer of the Eastern section of the Seismographical Society of America. He now serves the City of Providence as member of the Law Revision Committee to help draft a new building code. He was deputy director of the utilities division of the Providence Civihan Defense Council and member of the State's CD utilities branch. (Photos on page SI ) ^ Vice-President of IBM ► Thomas J. Watson, Jr., '37 was elected a Vice-Presi- dent of the International Business Machines Corporation at the meeting of the Directors early this summer. He had pre- viously been assistant to the Executive Vice-President. He joined IBM in New York on graduation from Brown and in his first 14 months as senior sales representative twice qualified for memberships in the Hundred Per Cent Club, the company's sales honor organization. He was in military service from 1940 through 1945, returning to IBM on Jan. 1 this year.' Mr. Watson rose to the rank of Lt. Col. in the Army Air Forces and holds the Air Medal and Com- mendation Ribbons in addition to service ribbons lor the American, European, and Asiatic-Pacific Theatres, the American Defense and Philippine Liberation. He had en- listed as a private in the 102nd Observation Squadron, N. Y, National Guard in October, 1940. ^ 44 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY ► ► They All Have a Room, Somewhere IT'S IN A GARAGE, but it's home for two former Navy Lieutenants who solved their housing problem at Brown by four days' work, setting up headquarters for their Freshman year. "Before-and-after" photos show the room, made available by David C. Scott, Jr., '36 and Mrs. Scott. It was one of more than 1000 offers received at the Emergency Housing Office in response to Brown's appeal to the Community for help in meeting the extraordinary situation. ► ► We've always maintained that town-and-gown rela- tionships between Providence and Brown were unusually happy. This fall we've just had impressive proof of this fact, at a time when it would have been tragic to learn the contrary'. The University made an appeal to the com- munity, and the community responded splendidly, to meet a critical need. To be sure, there was another motive in that response, for the appeal was not primarily on behalf of Brown but on behalf of several hundred students, most of them war veterans, who were without dormitory accommodation on the Brown campus. Nevertheless, the point is that, when Brown asked the home-owners of Providence and nearby towns to share their houses with students, room was found and a welcome extended. With dormitories and fraternity houses reserved to capacity, ^00 unmarried students were without rooms. In addition, 60 married veterans and their wives — over and above those to be housed in the transplanted buildings near Marvel Gym — had to be provided for. The University presented its case to Faculty members, to alumni, and to the public, with superb co-operation from press and radio. Before College opened, more than 1000 offers of rooms, apartments, an makeshift quarters had poured into the Veterans' Emergency Housing Office in Faunce House. And a grateful University announced that every student had been cared for. ► President Wriston, who asked for "A Square Deal for the Veteran" in a radio plea over Station WEAN Sept. 11, believed in practising what he preached. He has opened his home on Hope St. to five veterans, one of them married, bringing to 1 1 the number of persons who will be in the presidential house this fall. Other officers of instruction and administration joined in making every pos- sible space available, and there were Corporation members who did likewise. "Even with the close of the war, universities can not enter upon large projects for housing married students," Dr. Wriston pointed out over the air. "The reason is that the crisis, in this particular respect, is temporary. Large university projects are exceedingly expensive and have to be adapted to long-term needs. At the end of three or four years this crisis will be past and the percentage of married students will again become negligible. By the time large projects for the accommodation of married stu- dents were complete, they would not be needed. "The Federal Government recognized both the acute character and the transient nature of this problem," he continued. "Therefore it made temporary housing avail- able from surplus Quonset huts, abandoned barracks, and so forth. Brown University, like most other institutions in the nation, is engaged in such temporary dwellings for married veterans. "In our own case, long delays in permitting their con- struction led to a loss of many units so that the number, which was inadequate to begin with, became acutely inade- quate. Moreover these delays mean that the project will be unfinished when College opens; therefore even those veterans who are to be housed in the emergency buildings must find temporary accommodations for six or eight weeks. It was anticipated that the converted barracks would take care of 160 families. The delay led to the loss of accommodations for 60 families; they must find homes for a year elsewhere. The 100 families who will have quarters in the temporary housing units must be taken care of for a period ranging from six to eight weeks. We need, therefore, rooms for 60 married veterans throughout the year and for 100 more through this temporary period." continued on page 49 The Schedule for Soccer ► An eight-game soccer schedule for this fall has been announced by Athletic Director Walter H. Snell, with the following bookings: Oct. ? — Coast Guard Academy, away. Oct. 9 — Worcester Tech, home. Oct. 12 — Wes- leyan, away. Oct. 23 — Connecticut, away. Oct. 26 — Yale, away. Nov. 9 — Springfield, home. Nov. 16 — Harvard, away. Nov. 20 — M. I. T., home. The veteran coach Sam Fletcher will come North from Florida to handle the squad as usual. i 45 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Harvest Season for the Campaign < < BULLETIN: A total of $1 ,355,000 had been reached before the end of September in the Brown Housing and Development Fund Campaign. ► ► "Autumn is the time for harvest. Let's find out where we stand," said a message from Col. G. Edward Buxton '02 to his hundreds of workers in the Brown Hous- ing and Development Campaign in August. The summer's end saw the completion of the widespread organization in which more than 2000 Brown men are committed to a pro- gram of personal interviews with the remaining 12,000. The campaign as September opened stood $45,000 away from one-third of the goal of $4,000,000, with the general phase of sohcitation just about to open. The $1,290,000 total included 96 gifts of $500 or more, while the first memorial designations were also reported. Exercising their privilege of choosing units in the new buildings, donors have offered contributions in memory of individuals and families. Instances include : a classroom building, $200,000; a lounge for Beta Theta Pi, $25,000; a hbrary, location to be determined, $15,000; three double student rooms at $6000 each, one for Alpha Delta Phi, one for Theta Delta Chi, one with location to be determined; two student rooms for the Freshman unit at $3500 each, and a similar room for Pembroke. One of the first memorials — to a boy whose life was lost in the war was the designation of a student room to bear the name of Howard Seth Young, Jr., '46, Ensign USNR. When the new refectory rises, a prominently placed plaque will give a permanent record of those friends and alumni who will have contributed $500 or more to the housing program. Nearly 100 names already appeared on the preliminary roster of such benefactors at the end of the summer: Clifford S. Anderson '00, Prof. C. R. Adams '18, Don- ald S. Babcock '10, L.

Young '02, and eight anonymous donors. ► Campaigning had not been active during July and Aug- ust, but the regions which were not fully organised at the outset of the drive employed the summer to advantage for active recruiting. Such an area was that including the Central Atlantic States under National Vice-Chairman Norman S. Case '08. The following local chairmen will cover the region, which extends from Southern New Jersey to Virginia: Washington, D. C. — James V. B. Bennett '18; Philadelphia— William H. Shupert '22; Maryland— Ches- ter S. Stackpole '22 of Baltimore; Norfolk — Charles A. Leonard '14; Wilkes-Barre and Scranton — Henry W. Peterson '21; Richmond — Ernest S^. Fitts '11; Southern New Jersey — Philip E. Scott '19 of Haddonfield; Trenton —Alexander W. Muir '19. Col. Buxton and President Wriston opened the Chicago area campaign Sept. 18 at a dinner arranged by National Vice-Chairman Ronald M. Kimball '18, Chicago Area Chairman George O. Podd '19, and Dinner Chairman John Monk '24. Other area chairmen expected were: Chapin S. Newhard '22 of St. Louis, William A. Dyer, Jr. '24 of Indianapolis, John G. Peterson '17 of Minneapolis, and Ernest T. Clough '2 1 of Milwaukee. Furber I. Mar- shall '19, another national vice-chairman, was to be m.c, and delegations also planned to be at the Chicago University Club from such cities as Rockford, Champaign, and South Bend. "It's the kickoff," said Monk's lively announcement. Dwight Colley '18, Rhode Island chairman, and Provi- dence Chairman Thomas F. Black '19 planned their fall inaugural on Sept. 17, with monthly luncheons to follow. Boston had begun a series of regular meetings for campaign worker, and New York had a similar schedule. ► Two ADDITIONS to the campaign staff were announced in August. James W. Gurll '38, executive secretary of the Brown Alumni Fund, has gone to New York to succeed Joseph A. O'Neil '31 as full-time assistant to the national vice-chairman in charge of New York State and Northern New Jersey, Dr. W. Randolph Burgess '12. Mr. O'Neil returned Sept. 1 to his pre-war affiliation with General Motors Export. In that the Alumni Fund program will yield precedence to the big campaign, Mr. Gurll was available for the new assignment, carrying forward the work which Mr. O'Neil had started so well under the local vice-chairmen and special gifts committee. In Boston Theodore L. Dodge, Jr. '39 of West Medway has begun his duties as assistant to Homer N. Sweet '07, national vice-chairman in charge of the Northern New England region, one of the most active areas during the summer months. (It saw its total doubled.) He is lately out of the Army after service as a 1st Lt. in the Signal Corps. As an undergraduate he was chairman of the BCA cabinet executive committee and received the Harris award from the Brown band. He was a track man, chairman and co-founder of the Inter-Faith Commission, a debater, mem- ber of the Brown Network staff, and a Dean's List student. He was in YMCA work in New Bedford and Manchester before the war. The campaign headquarters has sent us the following supplement to the roster of workers published in the sum- mer issue of this magazine: 46 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY CENTRAL ATLANTIC REGION Norman S.

JEFFREY GRANGER '13 Clear Field in Neic York > The New York Brown Club will not sohcit contributions this year for its re- gional scholarship award, Jeffrey S. Granger "13 told the members in a letter mailed in mid-September. The transcending impor- tance of the Housing and Development Campaign led to the decision, he said. Mr. Granger said that in the years he had served as chairman of the Scholarship Committee it had been a pleasure to raise the money because the response had always been so prompt and generous. "It has been a source of satisfaction to be connected with an institution which has such loyal alumni." This year, his committee felt, all fund-raising activities should be concen- trated in the one and all-important Housing and Development Campaign. And so it urged the New Yorkers, with all Brown men, to contribute their "utmost so that the future of Brown as one of the leading institutions in the world may be assured."' "Observing in Our Own Lifetime" ► ► What he characterized as "the opportunity of our generation"' was force- fully stated in August by Harold B. Tanner '09, chairman of Rhode Island's special gifts committee in the Housing and Development Campaign. "College alumni,"" he said, "who rightfully ascribe a degree of their success in life to the training received at their Alma Mater usually carry through life an intention to "do some- thing'" for the college sometime — if not in a lifetime, by "\Vill. They believe that collegiate education develops leaders and recognize the desirabihty of pro- viding for continuation of such educational opportunity. Our generation, par- ticularly, has had forced upon it the realization that better leadership is imperative in this nation and in the world. "Many of us recognize, in the type of liberal education of which Brown Uni- versity under President Wriston is an outstanding exponent, the method best calculated to produce such leaders — and the opportunity therefore to combine support of an educational effort of profound significance with the pleasure of supporting our own Alma Mater — and of observing in our own lifetime the effect of our donations." i CONNECTICUT Milton H.

Keynote front the Oldest ► One of the first gifts to Brown Universitys Housing and Develop- ment Campaign has come from the senior graduate, George F. Weston "78 of San Jose, Calif. "I love Brown University and hope all your wonderful plans for her future may bear full fruition,"" he wrote. In acknowledgment. Campaign Chairman G. Edward Buxton "02 said; "The words of good will and affection which reach us from so many alumni create a background which promises well for the success of this vital project. The Committee, therefore, salutes the oldest alumnus and thanks him for thus establishing the keynote behind their effort — 'the love of Brown University." " i Proof of Conviction ► Accepting a post as a worker in the New York area, a recent grad- uate showed that his heart was in his work as he joined the organiza- tion of the Housing and Develop- ment Campaign. "It is a privilege and a pleasure to serve in the program," he wrote. "I accept the more readily having al- ways felt the urgent need for im- proved housing at Brown. '"My personal check for $50, which I have enclosed, is the first payment on my pledge of $500 for the campaign. Since my income is only $2500 per annum, such a dona- tion represents some sacrifice on my part. However, I feel so strongly about the necessity of the housing program for students and depart- ments that my only regret is that my pledge could not have been greater." Robert M.

All of the fraternities which owned houses before the war return to them, only Sigma Chi delayed by the complications of its lease to an outside rooming agency. Pi Lambda Phi is in new quarters on George St., next to the Beta Theta Pi Hou.se. All, with possibly one exception, will be using dining rooms in their own houses. The fraternity houses are now all the property of the University, deeded over in response to the Corporation invitation. The members of chapters have made their room contracts with the University, and Brown collects the rent, provides the serv- ices, and has responsibility for furnishing and maintenance. The University Dining Rooms, under Director William T. Broom- head '35, will cater for meals. Although $30,000 was spent on the chapter houses which were used as civilian dormitories dur- ing the periods when Army and Navy units pre-empted other campus space, there is further outlay in refurbishing the quarters as the chapters moved back home. About half of the "house men" will he back tak- ing care of the houses, although now in University employ, and a number of the pre-war cooks. In this homecoming Nelson B. Jones '28, Director of Student Activi- ties, has had the co-operation of fraternity alumni advisors. Some of the houses have had curious his- tories during the war emergency. They served as Pembroke dormitories. Army headquarters, dining halls. University offices, guest house, youth canteen, and the like. Now everyone takes pleasure in the return to familiar fraternal surroundings as anticipated until the arrival of the new Quadrangles brings the new episode in the progress of student residence and fraternity life at Brown ^ In Manning Hall ► ► Commencement visitors to the re- furbished Manning Hall were hearty in their admiration of the work done to bring back the venerable building to a proud position among Brown's best. Manning Hall was built in 1834, as the result of a gift from Nicholas Brown, class of 1811, and was named after President James Manning. In the early years of its history the lower room of the Hall was used as a library and the upper room served as chapel of the University. In 1934 exercises were held in Manning Hall celebrating its one hundredth anni- versary. Dr. Clarence A. Barbour, then President of the University, delivered an address and Henry Robinson A. Palmer '90, read a poem of his own composition, commemorating the building. These exer- cises were combined with those of Visitors Day, at which Charles Evans Hughes '81, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, spoke. Although the exterior of the building was not touched in recent renovations, the halls and classrooms have been markedly re- decorated and improved. A new tile floor has been laid in the lower classroom, while the former maple floor of the upper room has been sanded and refinished. Acoustic plaster has been applied to the classroom ceilings, while most of the walls and other 50 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY ceilings of the room have been replastered. Lecture platforms have become smaller and more architectural design has been applied to them. Two staircases at the west end of the hall have been removed and replaced by one at each end. The west end itself has been reconstructed of fireproof material. The Civil War Memorial Tablet and the Nicholas -Brown Memorial Tablet have been hung at the west and east ends of the hall, respectively. The basement of Manning Hall has been rebuilt and a new heating system, including modern radiation, installed. A combina- tion of direct and indirect lighting is also new. The money to repair Manning Hall was provided by the same anonymous donor who gave the funds for renovations in Uni versity Hall, Rhode Island Hall, Hope Col lege and for improvements to Middle Campus. A Decoration for Pillsbury ¥ A Librarian who turned Sergeant, Stan- ley R. Pillsbury '31, has received the Legion of Merit, according to an Army release from China Headquarters. It was for "extra- ordinary outstanding performance of administrative and training functions." He assembled and distributed to all 21 bases complete and necessary publication files, traveling the length and breadth of China. His corps had to evacuate seven air fields before the Japs captured them, so that it was no job far in the rear. He prepared guides for standardizing the operation of bases and for transmitting information to higher headquarters in the speediest intelligible fashion. "His pain- staking and accurate analysis and evalua- tion of reports on critical supplies enabled his Commanding Officer to plan operations efficiently. His unusual ability to cope with new problems intelligently and swiftly made him invaluable. His integrity, intelligence, and precise nature enabled his officers to place upon him with absolute confidence the responsibility for the preparation of all secret and confidential documents and radio messages of extreme importance or urgency. In each of the several commands in which he served, he continuously improved the administrative efficiency of his own head- quarters and of the subordinate units." Liking China and its people, Sgt. Pills- bury has remained there, Elmer E. Butler '03 informs us. He was formerly on the staff of the New York Public Library. His father is Benjamin O. Pillsbury '00, of Needham, Mass. ^ Providence University Club ► Prof. Zen as R. Bliss '18 is the new President of the University Club in Provi- dence, heading a slate which was almost entirely made up of Brown alumni. Alfred H. Gurney "07 continues as Secretary and Kent F. Matteson '28 as Treasurer, while others chosen were: Vice-Presidents — J. Cunliffe Bullock '02, Robert F. Chambers '09, Chester A. Files '14; Board of Gov- ernors for three years — Foster B. Davis Jr., '39,_ Francis H. Chafee '27, Richard A. Bowen '31. ^ Dr. Wriston in Milwaukee ► Biggest Brown gathering in the his- tory of the alumni club in Milwaukee is in prospect for Wednesday evening, Oct. 23, when President Wriston is booked for a dinner meeting in the library of the Uni- versity Club there. Ernest T. Clough "20, President of the Milwaukee Brown Club, is in charge of arrangements for the members and their guests. i EUGEM: W. O'BRIEN "19 ALTON C. CHICK '19 TWO BRUNONIANS lead the national program of the world's largest engineering society, ASME. (See page 44.) Benford's Cotnrnendation > CoMDR. William R. Benford '27, CEC, USNR, returned to his duties in the Brown Engineering Division, has received a commendation for his "professional skill, initiative and excellent judgment in the per- formance of vital tasks." The letter from the Chief of Bureau of Yards and Docks said that he wished to recognise Comdr. Benford's "outstanding services as Sanitary Engineer in the organ- ization of the Superintending Civil Engi- neer, Area II from 11 Ortober 1943 to 11 November 1945." As Sanitary Engineer in this Area and as Consultant in engineer- ing problems in Areas I and III he assisted materially in solving important problems of water supply and sewage disposal at units of the Shore Establishment vital to the support of the Fleet during the war. i 51 ^ Curriculum ("Another installment of the Brown report, now in force as academic policy. Previous publication of the sections dealing with basic considerations and the Distribu- tion requirement had an interested reading.) Part III. Specific Recommendations ► ► In formulating the following spe- cific proposals, which it has discussed at length, the Committee on the Curriculum has had the benefit of light gained from conferences with officials of Pembroke Col- lege, from interviews with representatives of the various departments concerned, and from oral or written communications, which it has carefully pondered, received from a number of individual members of the faculty. The committee has earnestly endeavored to give, to the various consid- erations urged upon its attention, the full- est recognition possible within the concep- tion of a liberal education, outlined in Parts I and II, for which it was attempting to devise implementation. SECTION 14. The numbers of semesters contemplated for each part of the curriculum. ► The committee has throughout kept in mind tbe desirability of providing for the abler and more earnest students a corre- spondingly greater degree of freedom: and at the same time of insuring that the less capable or less serious students shall not, through excessive feedom of whimsical elec- tion, be able to evade the sort of program called for by the objectives of a hberal education. The distribution requirement the Com- mittee now proposes would accordingly total normally 14 courses, but less than this in the case of the better prepared or intel- lectually more enterprising students. The portions of the student's time given to the several parts of the curriculum would then be substantially as follows: Distribution 14 semesters (or less) English Composition 1 " (or more) Language Proficiency 2 Concentration 8 " (or more) Free Electives 7 " (or more) (or less) 32 SECTION 15. Freedom provided for with- in the distribution require^ ment. ► The courses listed in the picture of the distribution requirement drawn in the next section total 16 semesters, but the commit- tee proposes that the student be allowed to omit two, leaving a requirement of only 14. Again, some students enter the univer- sity with a knowledge of some subjects sub- stantial enough to fulfill the purpose of the distribution course in the corresponding subject. The faculty has recently voted that any part of the distribution require- ment may be satisfied by the passing of a proficiency examination on the reading spe- cified in an appropriate syllabus. The Com- mittee on the Curriculum suggests that also the Faculty explore the possibility of accept- ing (a high level of achievement) in the College Entrance Examination Board achievement tests (in the subjects prescribed for distribution) as satisfying the corre- sponding part of the distribution require- ment. BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY These provisions would entail that no student would take more than 14 of the distribution courses, and that the better qualified or more ambitious student would have the opportunity to take several less, and thus to gain more than the 7 normal free electives. Moreover, it is worth emphasising that the subjects comprised in the distribution requirement are diverse enough to include aiitomaticaUy most of the subjects in which the student might otherwise have wished to take a fir.-t course as free elective. SECTION 16. The Distribution Require- ment in dftail y The DISTRIBITION requirement proposed contemplates 6 semesters for the sciences. 4 semesters for the social studies, and 6 semes- ters for the (nimdnities; but with tl^e provi- sion that in the case of the social studies group, the student, in exercising his right to omit 2 courses out of 16, only may omit one of the three semester-courses lifted there. The distribution requirement proposed is specifically as follows: A. THE SCIEKCES 6 semesters (1) Physical Science.- 2 semesters vi;. either: a Physics-Chemistry two- semester integrated sequence or: a Physics- Astronomy two-semester integrated sequence or: a Chemistry-Geolo.gy two-semester integrated sequence (2) Biological Science: 2 semesters Viz: A semester course in Biology (in the broad sense which includes Botany.) some sections of which would be given by the Department of Botany, and: A semester course in Psycholo,t;y. (3) Mathematics: 1 semester A one-semester course in mathe- matics specially designed to do justice to the function the distribution courses are intended to perform. (4) In addition, one semester-course in any one of the above subjects, which could be: any one of the semester courses men- tioned above. or: the fir.'t semester courise in any one of the ? year-sequences in physical science. or: an introductory course in Astron- omy or Geology not dependent on a fir.st semester of, respectively Physics or Chemistry. or: A course continuing one of those mentioned under (I), (2), or (3). or: an independent course in any of those fields. B. THE SOCIAL STUDIES: 4 semesters (1) History: A two-semester courses in either Ancient History or Europe since the Fall of Rome — 2 semesters (2) A semester course in Economics — 1 semester A semester course in either Principles of Government or Principles of So- ciology — 1 semester C. THE HUMANITIES: 6 semesters (1) Literature: Viz.: A two-semester course in one ancient or modern literature; or a two- semester course in European literature. (2) Philosophy: 2 semesters A two-semester course ( 3 ) Art or Music: 1 semester Either a semester course in Music or a semester course in visual art. (4) History of Religion. 1 semester A semester course designed to acquaint the student with a number of the primitive and higher religions of man- kind. Notes: (a) The committee recommends that laboratory e.vperience be included in the science courses. It believes, however, that laboratory exercises as often conducted in elementary courses are of little value to the student. It recommends that the labora- tory work in the distribution courses be so planned as to exercise the students ingenu- ity in discovering tacts for himself in the given field. (The facts, of course, would be elementary and not novel, except to the student.) (b) The committee recommends that, in the other than science courses, ample pro- vision be made for the discussion and writ- ing, which is there the analogue of labora- tory work. (c) It is further recommended that each of the departments concerned be called upon to prepare and submit to the Com- mittee on the curriculum a fairly full syl- labus of a course ol the type described in Section 13, which it would propose to give for the purpose of the distribution require- ment; the syllabus to include a statement of the reading, papers, or other work, which the student will be required to do in the course. i The Functions of Concentration > > A.s NOTED in the report of the Sub- committee on the Distribution Requirement, the breadth provided by adequate distribu- tion serves to enlighten and liberalize the student's perspective as to the subject mat- ter and methods of the various fields of human knowledge. We believe that the depth demanded by the concentration requirement should give the student enough work in some limited field to enable him to have at first hand the enriching experi- ence of participating in the winning ol systematic knowledge. Such experience is an essential part of a liberal education. Whoever misses it has obtained from his college studies little more than the externalized information which he might have acquired from judi- cious sampling of an encyclopaedia. On the other hand, to the extent that concen- tration helps a student to achieve even a modest competence as a worker within some field of systematic investigation, it tends to reward him with some or all of the following values: Love of Knowledge.

Ability to Continue Study Independently. This love of knowledge will tend to moti- vate the student to continue to read and study in the field of his concentration long after his formal academic training has ended. He will have learned enough from his work in concentration to make possible a continuing satisfaction of his interest in that field, at least through the reading of current literature in it, if not through active investigations of his own. This sus- tained intellectual interest is one of the things that should characterize the liberally educated college graduate. It is unlikely to develop unless his college work has been of sufficient depth in some area to give him a modest competence of his own as a stu- dent in that field. Adequate Preparation for Advanced Study. In the past, some 30 per cent of Brown graduates have gone on to some form of graduate or professional school study. The undergraduate concentration of students of this kind, while avoiding over-specializa- tion, should be rich enough to obviate any need of taking typically undergraduate courses in graduate school. Fields of Concentration > Concentration should be conceived as concentration within a field of \nowledRe. which may, but need not, be coextensive with a departmental area. Departmental organization has often been determined, at least in part, by administrative rather than educational considerations. In a few cases a student's major field will be narrower than that of a department. In such cases many related courses within the department, but outside the special field, would without doubt be prescribed as essential, but the concentration would center in the specified area. In other cases, on the other hand, concentration will cut across the usual de- partmental lines. So important, in fact, does the develop- ment of non-departmental Concentration Patterns seem, that we recommend the appointment of a small subcommittee of the Curriculum Committee, broadly repre- sentative of the major fields of study in the university, this committee to have as one of its principal functions working with the departments in the development of such non-departmental concentration, field ma- jors, or topical concentrations, as they have variously been called. Patterns of Concentration > Each department should develop a Pattern of Concentration within its own general field. Ordinarily a Concentration Mayheic Was Remembered ► Becai'se Thomas May hew,- was horn in the English village of Tis- bury, England, more than 300 years ago, the aged and sick villagers were remembered this summer with food from Martha's Vineyard. Thomas became the first governor of the Massachusetts island, where his descendants today include Mrs. John W. Mayhew, whose husband was the Brown track immortal in the class of 1909, and John W. Mayhew, Jr., '43, who has returned to College after military service. ^ The Judge in High School ► Twenty-five years after his own high school graduation. Justice Andrew W. Ryan '25 of the New York Supreme Court had the pleas- ure of giving a Commencement ad- dress to another high school group this past June. Justice Ryan has par- ticularly interested himself in the problems of youth, a friend wrote in August. A member of the New York bar since 1926, soon after he had re- ceived his law degree from Albany Law School, Mr. Ryan served as district attorney of Clinton County for six years and as judge of the Children's Court and County Court for five, until his elevation to the Supreme Court Jan. 1, 1944. A resi- dent of Plattsburgh, N. Y., Justice Ryan has been a leading and public spirited citizen. i Pattern will include a certain number of courses regarded as essential for anyone choosing that field. These courses will constitute a nucleus central to all major work in that field. They will be supple- mented by additional courses or groups of courses among which students will have a limited choice in order to satisfy their special interests and needs. All Concen- tration Patterns should require the approval of the special subcommittee of the Cur- riculum Committee referred to above. A guiding consideration in the formula- tion of Concentration Patterns is their close relationship to Comprehensive Examina- tions. An adequate Comprehensive Exam- ination should cover the subjects delineated by a Concentration Pattern. Only such variations within a Pattern should be per- mitted as can be taken account of by the choices allowed in the corresponding Com- prehensive Examination. If, within any field, two examinations are required, this is a sure sign that in fact two Patterns of Concentration are available. Since the preparation of good Compre- hensive Examinations is an arduous and time consuming task which must be repeated each year, it is clear that the num- ber of Concentration Patterns available must be closely limited. We recommend that normally there be only one such Pat- tern for each department, save where edu- cational reasons or unusual departmental set-ups clearly indicate the need for more. We recommend, further, that where depart- mental offerings are large enough to war- rant it, such choice, but only such choice, be allowed within a Pattern as can be taken into adequate account by a single Comprehensive Examination. Quality Requirement in Concentration > A student's work in concentration lies presumably within the area of one of his major interests. He undertakes most of it during his Junior and Senior years. For both of these reasons the quality of it can reasonably be expected to be higher than that of his college work in general. Fur- thermore, unless his work in concentration is of reasonably high quality a student will not have gained from it even that modest competence in his field which, we have insisted, is necessary if he is to realize the educational values which the requirement is designed to insure. Therefore we recom- mend establishment of a minimum require- ment of an academic average of 2.0 for all 53 the courses scheduled on a student's Con- centration Program. It is the hope of the Committee that this requirement will be raised at a later date to 2.5. Quantity Requirement in Concentration We recommend that every program of concentration comprise eight semester courses or their equivalent, excluding "dis- tribution courses." Barriers to Over-Specialization In order to prevent over-specialization in a narrow field, we recommend that credit shall not be given toward an A.B. degree for more than ten courses in any one depart- ment, excluding "distribution" courses and "language proficiency" courses. By "di- rectly related departments" is meant depart- ments such as Ancient History and Civili- zation, and Ancient Language and Litera- ture, or such as English Expression and English and American Literature. Summary of Recommendations ► We recommend; 1. That a Faculty rule be adopted to the effect that every student Concentration Program must conform to an approved Concentration Pattern, except by per- mission of the Dean of the student's college in consultation with the depart- ment(s) concerned 2. That the Faculty adopt the following regulations with regard to Concentra- tion Patterns: (a) That departmental Concentration Patterns be limited in number normally to one Pattern for each department, save where educa- tional goals clearly indicate the de- sirability of additional Patterns. (b) That Conentration Patterns must be approved by the Committee on the Curriculum. (c) That Concentration Patterns nor- mally include a nucleus of speci- fied courses required of all stu- dents selecting that Pattern, and also limited options — choices to be made by the student in consulta- tion with the departments con- cerned — among certain other courses or groups of courses, these options to be restricted so that choices on a common com- prehensive examination can take adequate account of the differ- ences in student preparation thus permitted. 3. That the President appoint a small but broadly representative subcommittee of the Committee on the Curriculum to assist n establishing Concentration Pat- terns and that this Committee be charged particularly with the tasks of; (a) Initiating area or topical Patterns of Concentration, not confined to one department. (b) Conferring with departments con- cerning the formulation of de- partmental Patterns of Concentra- tion. (c) Recommending to the Curriculum Committee those proposed Pat- terns that conform to the princi- ples of this report. 4. That the Faculty recommend to the Board of Fellows that the concentra- tion requirement for the A.B. degree be successful completion of a program of concentration of eight semester courses or their equivalent — excluding "distribution" and "Language profi- ciency" courses with an academic average of 2.0 or better, and not more BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Connecticut'* VSO Campaigner ► ► Connecticut support of the United Service Organizations is being mus- tered for 1946-47 by Paul V. Hayden '25 of Willimantic, the new State campaign chairman. His quota is $471,000. "We are very fortunate to have such an outstanding and experienced campaign leader in this critical year," said Governor Baldwin in announcing Hayden's appointment in .luly. A Connecticut resident since 1930, Hayden has been asso- ciated with the Connecticut Light y Power Company, first as industrial engineer and in 1940 in charge of industrial sales for the Eastern Division. He was Windham County chairman for the 1943-1945 campaigns for the Connecticut War Fund and earlier as County chairman for the USO campaign. He is a member of the New England Council Industrial Development Committee and has helped attract new industries to Eastern Connecticut, particularly. On the Chaplin School Board he sits as chairman. He is a past president of the Connecticut Badminton Associa- tion, too. Campaigning for Brown, too? Of course. He's a captain in Milton Glover's Connecticut corps for the Housing and Development Fund. i than two semester grades below C. 5. That the Faculty adopt the rule that, excluding "distribution" and "language proficiency" courses, no more than the equivalent of ten semester courses in any one department (as define above) may be counted toward the A.B. degree, and no more than the equivalent of twelve semester courses in two directly related departments may be counted toward the A.B. degree, in each case save by permission of the Committee on Academic Standing. In interpreting this rule, the following are to be regarded as departments: Ancient History and Civilization, Ancient Language and Literature, Art, Astronomy, Biblical Literature and History of Religions, Biol- ogy, Botany, Chemistry, Economics, Educa- tion, Engineering, English and American Literature, English Expression (including Debate, Dramatics and Public Speaking), Geology, History, Linguistics, Mathemat- ics, French Literature, German Literature, Italian Literature, Spanish Literature, Music, Naval Science and Tactics, Philoso- phy, Physics, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. 6 That the Faculty adopt the following administrative rules: (a) That complete Concentration Pro- grams of candidates for the A.B. Degree, must be filed either dur- ing the students fourth semester or, in the case of certain specified Concentration Patterns during liis second semester. (The Deans aie expected to call the attention of students to those Concentration Patterns where because of a re- quired sequence of courses, or tor some similar reason, concentra- tion must be begun during the Sophomore Year.) (b) That all changes in Concentration Programs must be approved both by the departments concerned and by the Dean of the student's col- lege. ^ Surgeon at the Front > ► Lt. Col. Fiorinda A. Simeone '29 was entitled to a great measure of satisfac- tion as he returned to his duties as Assistant Professor in Surgery in Harvard Medical School after his military tour. He holds the Legion of Merit award for his work as con- sultant in general surgery in the Medical Section, Mediterranean Theatre of Opera- tions. "Col. Simeone personally operated upon, supervised, and observed the management of seriously wounded soldiers in the for- ward mobile hospitals and in fixed hos- pitals, always combining the accurate criti- cal appraisal of scientific research with the humane technical skill of the experienced surgeon. He initiated and conducted clin- ical research in the field on a succession of important and unsolved problems that sur- round the surgical treatment of the wounded, pointing the way in each instance to the elimination of life-endangering com- plications. His ingenuity and precision in making and recording observations on gas gangrene and destructive wounds of major blood vessels, contributed to the intro- duction of new methods of treatment that saved lives and preserved limbs. Observa- tions on the occurrence, nature and causes uf trench foot were of aid in the intro- duction of successful control measures. Actively participating in the work of a hoard to study the treatment of the seri- ously wounded, he brought to light new I acts regarding the bodily disturbances that .ittend certain fatal complications of wounds."

Granniss '24 as manager, the New York Journal of Com- merce reported in July. The paper identi- fied Granniss, former Army Lt. Col., as a leading figure in the field of his new responsibility. Granniss left the engineering and inspec- tion division of the Travelers Insurance Co. in 1935 to become industrial staff en- gineer for the National Safety Council. He became director of the industrial engi- neering division of the National Conserva- tion Bureau in 1939, also teaching at NYU. He helped organize the National Bureau for Industrial Protection in Washington and directed as its associate manager the co- ' operative accident prevention efforts of American casualty and boiler and machin- ery writing insurance companies with the War Department and other governmental agencies. As an Army Major he became chief of the safety and health branch in 1942. In Europe he planned and organized safety activities, recognized by the award of the Legion of Merit for "facilitating a major conservation of manpower and war mate- rials." He is President of the Washington Safety Society, member of several profes- sional societies, and author of pamphlets .ind books in his field. i Tammany Names a Vet ► A Republican feud encouraged Tammany Hall in the behef that the Democrats might this fall capture the 17th New York District, long regarded as a GOP bastion.

Schuster '28 was the unhappiest fel- low in all the Americas on Aug. 26 when he looked out of the windows that day and saw that it was raining in East Douglas, Mass. It was to have been a great day. the high spot on an anniversary pro- gram for 300-year-old Douglas near- by, for the Boston Red So.x and the Cleveland Indians were to have played an exhibition game. Schuster has so many friends in the Red Sox organization and Une-up that they had been glad to try to help him help the town celebrate. And so it was more than just "Rain, no game" when the weather went foul. However, Schuster entertained the players of the t*'o teams at his woolen mill, promised Ted Williams a new car to replace the one smashed up that day en route, and started praying for a fair day on Sept. 26. The Red Sox said they'd be back then, with the New York Yankees. The New Campus Landscape > THE CHANGES are not revolutionary, but the general effect is a marked improve- ment in the appearance of the Middle Campus at Brown. For weeks bull-dozers and steam shovels were picking up the old walks, while workmen put down new ones, usually in locations somewhat different. Mo.^t noticeable change is to move the roadway east from in front of University Hall, Manning, and Hope, providing a better setting of grass for them. Extensive planting has already brought warmth to the scene, with yews and magnolias new to the landscape. (We've relied entirely on elms in the past, which provide leaves for only a couple of months of student rsidence; now some evergreens and spring-bloomers as part of new sets will relieve the austerity.) Only this spring has it been possible to employ the funds given some years ago for the beautification of the campus. An anonymous friend gave $15,000 for re-location of a few walks, renovation of others, new plantings, restoration of the lawns, etc., under plans originally drawn up by Arthur A. Shurcliff. A supple- mentary gift of $500 from a group of "friends" made possible the treating of lawns, vines, and foliage against Japanese beetles. We think you'll like the way the University has spent the money given specifically for these purposes. < 1938 — Frank Licht, and Miss Dorothy S.

Although we added 12 extra pages to the summer issue, there was not then room for these accounts of the greatest re- union weekend in Brown's history. But for those interested — and that means almost all of us — there is just as much pleasure in reading the familiar names even now, as a souvenir of a good time or a wistful make- shift for the absentee. To those faithful co- workers for Brown, the members of the Association of Class Secretaries, we extend our thanks for comprehensive reports. 1890 Two members attended the annual luncheon at the University Club at noon on Commencement Day: Rev. William T. Green, pastor of the Natick Baptist Church, and Dr. Harry L. Grant. Fourteen of the 79 members of the class which graduated 56 years ago are still living, and a good number of them responded to the yearly communication from the Class Secretary. H. L. G. 1891 The Class again found willing hosts in Providence and nearby for its 55th reunion. Luncheon June 1 5 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin A. Barrows in Jacobs Hill was followed by George J. Holdens Hope Club dinner with the old-time ball players also attending. Mr, Holden was elected life- fme president of the Class. The memorial service at the Class Fence, honored by long custom, was held this year for Rev. Charles A. Meader, Herbert L. Dunn, Samuel A. Everett, and William H. Barron. Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Hinckley were hosts at the Commencement luncheon. Other partici- pants in the Commencement weekend were: Bishop James DeWolf Perry, Rev. Charles E. Knowles, Rev Leo Boone Thomas, William Howard Paine, Dr. James L. Wheaton, Elbert O. Hull and Chester A. Cook of Chicago, The ball players who joined us Saturday night were: Where Do Shovels Go? ► The very fact that time changes some standard tools not at all is re- sponsible for the fact that antique collections seldom boast good old hammers and shovels, says Albert E. Lownes '20. Mr. Lownes is presi- dent of the South County Museum in Rhode Island which has a fine col- lection of many thousand tools, im- plements, vitensils, vehicles, ma- chines, and gadgets which played a vital role in the daily life of the State years ago. The Museum has "the first primi- tive sewing machines, typewriters, and vacuum cleaners, check by jowl with spinning wheels and hand looms." But the curator hunted for a long while before finding a card of Portland Star sulfur matches. And the ancient shovel can still liold its own against modern competition — hence its rarity for the collector and Mr. Lownes's appeal to the public lor an attic hunt for such items, i Dr. William H.

H 1893 Class President Edward B. Aldrich was host to 16 members of the Class at the re- union held at Squantum Club, providing luncheon and one of those bakes for which Squantum is so renowned. The men had many memories of a half-century ago to ex- change. J. D. E. Jones, Jr., continued his yearly hospitality with another fine Hope Club breakfast, before the Commencement procession. Others who attended were: Robert M. Brown. Edward H. Weeks. John L. Casey, Thomas P. Corcoran, Rev. Edwin B. Dolan, Orin P. Durkee, Daniel Howard, Edgar M. Johnson, Stephen A. Hopkins, Charles M. Poor, Charles A. Selden. Dan- iel C. Snow, George W. Perkins, Dr. Wil- liam H. Magill. Guests of the class were Stuart M. Aldrich, Edwin A. Barrows, Fred Tenney, George Holden, Frank Hinckley, Samuel Arnold, John Sweeney, Edward Rathbun, Fred Tillinghast, Chester Cook, G. C. Smith and Charles E. Knowles. R. M B. 1896 On the 50th anniversary of 1896, the list of surviving members carried 5 5 of 169 in the original class, which was Brown"s largest up to them. The memorial service at the "96 Gate were conducted (both re- marks and prayer) by C. M. Gallup, D.D. Many attended the dinner at the Marvel Gymnasium, where the Class was given spe- cial notice and seats together. We were generously assigned a group of rooms in Hope College, while the Theatre Lounge of Faunce House was set aside as head- quarters. The Class Dinner was held at the Narra- gansett Hotel Saturday evening, June 15, with good talk and good fellowship. Dr. W. H. Kenerson, who had acted as our guide on the campus, showed pictures of Brown scenes at the dinner, to the pleasure of all. It was noted that 10 members arc listed in "Who"s Who," as nationally known for distinguished services: W. C. Bliss, B. S. Flagg, C. M. Gallup, W. H. Kenerson, Abram LeGrand, £. A. Locke, W. E. Monk, J. S. Murdock, E. J. Rath- bun, R. C. Vose. The attendance: John S. Murdock, G. DeWitt Dowling Chester S. Churchill of Chicago. 111., Allan of Venice, Fla., Leon H. Denison of Kansas City, Mo., Lewis M. Carr of Alton, 111., B. Bicknell of Bridgewater, Va., James E. Ames, Edward E. Bucklin, Horace P. Dor- mon, Charles R. Easton, Burton S. Flagg, Judge G. Frederick Frost, Clarence M. Gal- lup, Irving H. Gamwell, William H, Kener- ,son, Howard D. Kenyon, Dr. Herbert B. Lang, the Rev. Abraham LeGrand, Dr. Ed- win A. Locke, Albert S. Morse, Albert R. Nichols, George L. Parker, Elmer J. Rath- bun, Jesse F. Smith, Mason M. Swan, Dr, George B. VanDoren, the Rev. J. Canfield Van Doren, Robert C. Vose, Everett L. Walling. "We are 'classmates' by the compulsion of college statistics," said Dr. Gallup: "We are 'comrades' by an inner compulsion of devotion seeking reciprocity. We came to- gether more than 50 years ago, unknown to one another, for the most part; we came back today because we have been bound by the best of bonds — a tested friendship." Each departed classmate, he said, had left the rest a legacy of their loyalty to Brown ; 56 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY "Probably no class ever had a greater emotional loyalty to its Alma Mater than has '96. We did not produce the highest average scholarship, although we had our ■scholars. Our class has not donated the largest sums of money: perhaps it has had less to give. But our classmates have loved Brown and they have loved one another. Though with widely differing tempera- ments, aptitudes, and vocations, we have been bound together by a definite common denominator — a genuine sentiment for Brown. "The more subjective phase of the legacy Irom the deceased," Dr. Gallup continued, "is that which memory itself furnishes. This is vital, vivid, and venerated." Two fine reunion poems were read in the absence of their authors: Henry F. Huse of Springvale, Me., and Dr. Theo- dore Merrill of Paris. The class noted the passing of William A. MacAuslan, faithful Secretary of '96 from our Senior year until his decease. Charles R. Easton was elected to succeed him, and Judge E. J. Rathbun is the new President, each chosen for a five-year term. C. R. E. 1897 Looking ahead to next year and the 50th reunion, the "97 men held a dinner at the Agawam June I 5 in addition to attending the All-Alumni affair the night before. Since the 1896 reunion, held on the cam- pus, seemed to work out well, we are tempted to make plans for next June along similar lines. Two of our out-of-town men were put up satisfactorily in Hope College. Officers elected were: President — James H. Arthur: Vice-Presidents — Byron S. Watson, Arthur M. McCrillis; Secretary — George L. Miner; Treasurer — Arthur M. Allen. Others present were: Dr. Henry W. N. Bennett of Manchester, N. H., Frank O. Jones, Isaac B. Merriman, Daniel F. Holmes, Howard A. Richmond. Frank N. Cady, Dr. Roswell S. Wilcox, Horace G. Bissell, William A. Harris, Edwin A. Robinson, Dr. M. H. Merchant, and L. A. Horton. G. L. M Please, Joe ► ► Anywhere else it might be enough to say "Keep Otf the Grass." But it wouldn't make much of an impact on the undergraduate mind. Stili, since it was desirable to have folks avoid the new turf on the Brown campus, there was no harm trying a stunt. In August, then, a new set of signs appeared on the new set of lawns: "Danger, New Blades." "Brown in 1764, green in 1946," "For Gazing, Not Grazing," "How About It, Chum?" and the slogan which had won the Cam- marian Club prize last spring, "Leave It Grow, Joe." We remember other turf-saving hopes of 20 years ago, too. The Herald used to usher in the spring annually with editorials, often inspired in official quarters, pleading for the use of the sidewalks and nothing else. There were administrative notices to the same effect, but they stopped abruptly when a bold, soon-reprimanded Herald columnist signed off one day, with : "Damn it. Keep off my grass W. H. P. F." i 1898 The reunion centered about the Alumni Dinner June 14th, where the following were at table together: James S. Allen, Dwight K. Bartlett, Theodore E. Dexter, A. M. Dunham, J. Harry Farrell, John A Gammons, E. LeRoy Hart, Richard R. Hunter, Lester B. Mathewson. George W. Morris, Charles E. Paine, Andrew S. Thomson, George F. Troy, Thomas E. Steere. T. E. S. 1899 The Agawam Hunt, hospitable over the years to so many grateful Brown classes, was the scene of the 47th reunion, with the following dining Sunday evening: Irving O. Hunt of Wyoming, Pa., Edward A. Stockwell, Charles C. Remington, How- ard H. Wilkinson, Dr. Charles O. Cooke, Wilham J. Duffy, Owen F. Gallagher, Prof. Charles I. Gates, John M. Glen, Benjamin W. Grim, Clarence H. Guild, Louis R. Holmes, Harry B. Loud, the Rev. Antonio Mangano, D.D., Arthur N. Sheldon, How- ard R, Smart, George W. Sutcliffe, Judge Charles A. Walsh, Raymer B. Weeden, Alonzo R.

The boys reported very comfortable quarters in Littlefield Hall, and a most enjoyable time at the Alumni Dinner, the Commence- ment luncheon, and the other events from June 14 to 17.

And we're still a good reunion class. The 1946 reunion, at the Warwick Club from June 13 to 17, was the best for many years — lots of spontaneous sparkle. Some were present who never came before. A feature was the presence of the '05 Twins in the Commencement procession, very attractive daughters of Frank Cooke, who nearly stopped the show. Fred Thurber gave a party at his home, 518 Cole Ave., before the All-Brown dinner. Bill Spicer gave the husbands and wives a swell al fresco lunch- eon at "Crossways," Hampton, Conn. An- other enjoyable incident was being aboard the "Arbuta" on Narragansett Bay. Officers elected were: President — S. Carlisle Goodrich, moved up from the post of vice-president to which he was elected in 1905; Vice-Presidents — N. P. Hutchi- son, Granville Meader; Secretary — C. L. Robinson; Treasurer — David Davidson, who is also treasurer of the "05 $25,000 en- dowment fund; Reunions — Howard Bar- ney, Judge John Mahoney, William A.

In one of them this summer an ex-marine came to his office to tell of a promise made in 1942 when casualties were running high on Guadalcanal. It seems that Stephen A. Crandall of Covington, Ky., and Searle A. Martin of Attle- boro agreed that if one should die, the survivor would take the name of the man left behind in the jungle. A Jap bullet got Martin. And so Martin came to Judge Briggs in July to ask his help, and they went before the Fall River Pro- bate Court to get for Martin the legal right to take the name of Stephen A. Crandall. The petition was granted, and Mrs. Martin be- came a Crandall, too. i lock, Dean Judson A. Crane, George A. Gessney, Leonard W. Cronkhite, Meyer H. Sackett, PhilHp A. Hanson, Robert A.

The Fortieth Reunion of 1906, with the Cold Spring House as headquarters in Wickford has been appealingly narrated in booklet form and sent out recently to all living classmates being as described on the title page: "A composite record compiled by Albert W. Qaflin, Elmer D. Nickerson, Percy Shires, and other classmates." The actual events which made up the re- union June 14-17 were fittingly told, men- tioning each of the 58 men attending. There were excerpts from Toastmaeter 58 Arthur F. Driscoll's letter telling of the fine time he enjoyed; while Leon S. Gay also described his pleasure, and said in part: "To have missed our reunion — is to have missed a large chunk of living." A telegram of "Greetings"' was repro- duced, from Dr. Alexander Burgess, who was attending a medical convention m Can- ada. An insert follows, showing a 17-inch reproduction of the Class Official Photo- graph taken at the R. I. Clambake to which all were invited June 15 by the genial host, R. L. Knight at the Lippitt Hill Farm at Hope. This event that has come to be out- standing at five-year reunions. Rev. C. Raymond Chappell in writing of his impressions, told in detail his asso- ciation of a life-time with Rev. W. Doug- las Swaffield, both having received Doctor of Divinity Honorary Degrees at Brown's 178th Commencement Day programme in the First Baptist Church. A brief history of each recipient included the wording used in the two citations. Stephen E. Wright, now head of Lincoln School, in San Jose, Costa Rica, wrote a letter reproduced, wishing "to be remem- bered"' to all the Class, and enclosing checks toward the reunion, and also for the Brown Alumni Fund. He said it was "too long a hop" for him to come North. Henry G. Carpenter, Proprietor of the Cold Spring House where this 9th major re- union events occurred, wrote regarding some of the incidents which impressed him. An alphabetical list of the 58 men at- tending and their addresses is given as well as the names of a dozen men who sent con- tributions to help make the affair an out- standing success. In conclusion, on the final page of this booklet (and herewith) is shown a cut of the bronze plaque, made by Gorham"s Inc., which was presented to Robert Lippitt Knight at his clambake by his classmates of 1906, "In grateful appreciation of a loyal classmate."

The Stone Bridge Inn was reunion head- quarters. Thirty-five were on hand for the "postponed 35th", with the Secretary making arrangements. Good letters showed the loyal interest of missing classmates who will be on deck next time. Present: C. Le- Roy Grinnell, Prof, and Mrs. William W. Browne, Mr. and Mrs. John C.

Many pleasant acknowl- edgements have been received, with such comments as "I must make the 40th"; "The fine times we always have at our 'get-to- gethers' remain uppermost in our minds for weeks after the event"; "I am very appre- ciative of your letter with the picture and the diagram, and I am already looking for- ward to the next Reunion"; "I can't tell you how much I regretted not being able to return. Maybe it's because I had looked forward to this Reunion with so much an- ticipation." The Class found Norwich Inn excellent both as to food and proximity of golf course to the hotel.

C. 1916 The members of the Cla-i^s got together for their 30th reunion at the Melrose Inn, Harwichport, Mass., on Friday afternoon, June 14th. Forty-five members of the class registered. It was the first time in 30 years that five members of the class had been in attendance, namely, George Johnston, Percy Sarle, W. H. Young, Rev. George Cairns and Major Gen. William C. Chase. On Saturday many of the men enjoyed the facilities of the several fine golf courses nearby, while one or two hardy souls went in for a swim. A few of the more intel- lectual members of the class settled the affairs of the world from the depths of easy chairs in the courtyard of the Inn. At 5 P. M. the class attended a most delightful cocktail party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford D. Heathcote whose summer home is located in Harwichport. After dinner on Saturday evening a meeting of the class was held at which Presi- dent William A. Graham presided, Rev, George Cairns, Major General Chase, and Johnny Johnston gave very interesting talks after which Bill Graham and Stan Mac- Leod spoke at length about the Brown hous- ing campaign. On Sunday morning a representative group attended church at which Father Cairns officiated and received a most in- spiring message from their classmate. After dinner the reunion was adjourned after voting that Harry Burton, as reunion chair- man, had made this the finest reunion ever held by the class. Those present: Maj. Gen. William C. Chase, George F. Johnston of Wichita, Kan., Rev. George J. A. Cairns of Monroe, Mich., Harry H. Burton, Percy W. Sarle, John J. Cashman, Joseph F. Halloran, Gustave D.

M. 1917 Some of the '17 men met informally at the University Club for cocktails before the Alumni Dinner June 14. 1918 Besides the Alumni Dinner, a special 1918 breakfast at the Providence Univer- sity Club brought the following men to- gether: Col. Dwight T. Colley, Charles B, Malone, Watlcr Adler, Clifton I. Munroe, Wilbur L. Rice, Frederick B. Brooks. Har- old F. C. Wilcox, Dr. Louis I, Kramer. Gurney Edwards, J. Irving McDowell, Charles A. Stuart, Gordon L. Parker, J, Harold Williams, Paul J. Grimes. The same reunion committee was continued in office, with Wilcox as chairman. A more elaborate reunion is in prospect for next June as a preliminary to something very special in 1948 when the delayed and post- poned 25th and 30th will be combined. W. A. 1920 There never was a better reunion, all agreed. It began at the home of Louis A. R. Fieri with a picnic lunch. Then on to Quonset and the Naval Air Station with Capt. O. A. Weller as our sponsor at the Officer's Club. The overnight stay made possible a tour of the station, plane rides, a visit to the aircraft carrier Philippine Sea, and customary sports. The "postponed The Suitcase of 1910 > Bkst L.^UGH of the reunion period came at the expense of 1910, which joined in with the rest in ap- preciating the joke It happened that the University Corporation was lined up on the steps of Manning Hall (for the photo which wc printed in the last issue) just as the 1910 delegation left its headquar- ters in Hope College and passed by, bound for one of the country clubs. An officer of the cla.ss carried a mod erately heavy suitcase. At this point one of the Alumni Trii.'tees called out suddenly, "It's leaking!" It wasn't, but the alarmed looks at the bottom of the suitcase by its bearer were a dead give-away. i 25th" was a great success, enjoyed by: Louis A. R. Fieri, Capt. O. A. Weller, Thomas F.

Vice-Admiral G. R. Henderson, Commodore G A. Seits. and Capt. D. Harris, were with the class for some of the amenities, H. C. A 1921 Sixty-one members took part in one phase of the 25th reunion or another, the highlight of which was unquestionably the splendid talk by Maj. Gen. Lored at the banquet. In informal vein he gave some remarkable personal anecdotes, about the war, concluding with an inspiring refer- ence to Brown and its future which stressed the challenge of Brown's liberal tradition. It is unfortunate that the whole Alumni body could not have heard him speak. The Weekapaug Inn, where June 15 and 16 were spent, was absolutely tops as to food, both in quality and quantity; service, excellent rooms, well furnished; courteous and efficient staff; beautiful location, etc. Based on successful experience at previous reunions, we deliberately avoided any formal program, so as to promote the friendly atmosphere and setting for old pals getting together again — in some instances after 25 years" lapse — recalling old times, exchanging news of family, business ex- periences, etc. Golf parties were readily organized for Saturday and Sunday. Satur- day evening, during and after dinner, there was singing and general hilarity, bull ses- sions, and the inevitable poker game. The following officers were elected at the business meeting which followed the banquet: President — William T. Bright- man, Jr., succeeding Harold S. Tinker; Secretary — Alfred Mochau; Treasurer — H, Stanton Smith; Executive Committee — Officers and W. Stanley Barrett, Wayne M. Faunce, Dr. Arcadie Giura, Russell P. Jones, Gordon W. Roaf, Dr. Eske Winds- berg. These were at Weekapaug: Harold L. Tinker of Wallingford, Conn., H. Stan- ford Smith, Alfred Mochau, William T, Brightman, Jr., Fred L. Itschncr, W.

The Class was enthusiastic about the big Alumni Dinner which our classmate Stan Smith arranged. It's a splendid opportunity for all to meet many of their old friends in other classes and should become an annual affair, for it also helps stimulate interest and attendance in off-years. We had 24 at the dinner at Marvel Gym, including four Brady, and George R. Decker. Lownes en- tertained at his house beforehand. W. C. W. 1926 The 20th reunion was held at Rockhaven Hotel, Wcekapaug, June 1? and 16. The men were unanimous that this was the best reunion the Class has ever held. Prelim- inary discussion of the 25th reunion re- vealed the intention of making that even better. The Class voted to withdraw the sum of $500 from its treasury as a donation to the current building campaign, in addi- tion to personal gifts all members are urged to make. At the Class meeting, the officers installed were: President — Ed- ward R. Austin; 1st Vice-President — Myron Sulzberger, Jr.; 2nd Vice-President union June 15 and 16. Sports winners were: Golf — Raymond D. Nilsson; ten- nis — David M. Edes; baseball — the team captained by Comdr. Francis D. Gurll. Long-distance prize went to Louis F. Demmler of Pittsburgh. Officers elected: President and Reunion Chairman — Clin- ton N. Williams; Vice-President — Edes; Secretary — Frederick L. Harson; Treas- urer — Edward C. Ahern. Rev. Raymond S. Hall offered a prayer for men in the class who have died, and their names were read at lunch-time. F. L. H. 1932 The Bay View Hotel, Jamestown, made a good headquarters for the class as it set in motion plans for the Big 15th, in 1947.

Gale Noyes, and Rev. Edwin L. Thornton of North Springfield, Vt. At the memorial service we honored Lt. Col. C. M. Conzel- man, who died a Jap prisoner. A. M. 1923 W. B. McCormick and J. D. E. Jones, Jr., the latter in absentia, continued their annual custom of acting as host to the Cla.'^s at breakfast at the University Club. It was Bill's first reunion with the group since his return from the Pacific. Townes Harris was just out of the Army, too, and Bob Cruise, up from Texas, also had a special welcome.

Your image reappears Out of the smokescreen thrown on you by fifty crowded years; Figure looming through the past, no part of the present time. But hallowed as a heritage that graced our pristine prime. Come back, come back, simplicity, come back and bring your smile. And send sophistication to the devil for a while. Simplicity, felicity! An outlook free and gay, An irised vision meet for youth that has not lost its way. Looking back, we see ourselves loitering up a hill, Raw and green, but out to test a crucial fortune's will; The farmer boy, the middling youth, a country preacher's son, A lad who left a counter for a nobler task begun. One lived with painters for his friends, one figured plans and schemes. Dr. Theodore C. Merrill > THE AUTHOR of the anniversary ode for the 50-year class is the gal- lant physician who devoted a great part of his life to the American Hos- pital in Paris and elected to remain in that city even during the Ger- man occupation. Honored for his work during the dark days of the war, he is today the only American civilian practising medicine in Paris, In addition to "a greeting full of affection to every man whom this message can reach," Dr. Merrill addressed a recent letter to the Brown University Library, inform- ing Dr. Van Hoesen that he has shipped a box of books and sou- venirs to the John Hay. He had prepared the box in 1940, but ship- ment was held up. He did, how- ever, manage to send back his Phi Beta Kappa key to President Wris- ton just before the Germans isolated the Occupied Zone in France, He lamented he couldn't attend the 1896 reunion on the Brown campus this June, i Another knew the glories of great 'nel- odic themes. One was a dreamer, poor and proud, .md one a millionaire. But each had cast his shake of the dice out on an aureate air. A score and a hundred disparate beings, welded into a lump By chapel and gym and exams and games and the old Hope College pump. A thousand seething notions, each attuned to the call Of the sentiment deep in the silences, "All for one, one for all." Tempered, too, by tradition, fused to a single mass, And hammered by each year of four into a unit-class Bearing the fateful number of the last year we should know Of union, now a picture seen through the mists of long ago. On this glad day of June, With skies and smiles in tune. We cannot choose but pass Through memory's tangled grass. Finding it starry with the deathless ilowers We see still blooming as in former hours. Each separate friend, greeting them all today, Well knowing that they live and cannot die away Into a sunless void, unlit by love's immor- tal ray. Salute and hail! What can Time avail? His scythe may fall, but fail It must and shall — the pale Rider and horse are cast into the dust. Vanquished by Thought, which knows no final, mortal thrust. Thus still our rainbow promise we possess. And age still testifies how tireless The spirit who keeps courage in his hand, No slave to fate, but always in command. No better saying than to take away From this profoundly fair memorial day This: "Let us look onward to a moment when We may together see ourselves again". So let there be no pang within a heart; We meet, we talk, we only seem to part; Go we our ways, with wisdom in our eyes. One with a universe which never dies.
