^ ^ What Kind of a University Is Brown? 

BY BRUCE M. BIG BLOW '24 

► ► What kind of a University is the Brown of 
today? The testing of a University is relatively 
simple, for there are well-known touchstones that can 
be used: Who teaches at the University? Whom do 
they teach? What are the library resources? What 
is the intellectual atmosphere of the institution? 
What are its traditional ideals? 

Let me first use the touchstone of Faculty, a test 
that is equally valid for 13th Century Oxford or 20th 
Century Brown. From Manning on, Brown has 
emphasized the importance of great teaching. In 
this regard the University has put first things first. 
For nearly two centuries a primary objective has been 
the assembling of a Faculty of able men who have 
attained eminence in their varied fields of knowledge. 
The respect with which this professorial staff is now 
held by sister institutions of higher learning from 
coast to coast gives us worthy pride. We do not 
claim that our Faculty is the best in the land^there 
is no best Faculty — but we do know that a staff of 
such distinction is rarely found in a University of 
Brown's size. Brown is one of the few Colleges, 
therefore, in which undergraduates can come in close 
contact with such superb minds, for Brown is small 
enough for such intimacy just as she is large enough to 
sustain quality in the Faculty. This opportunity for 
high intellectual adventure is indeed one of the ele- 
ments of greatness in Brown University. 

► But teaching is not the sole responsibility of a 
20th Century Faculty. Unlike an 18th Century 
college, a university today explores the unknown. 
It should pioneer on the frontiers of learning, and in- 
this regard Brown has also won distinction. In fields 
as widely divergent as American Literature and 
Colonial History on the one hand and Electrolytic 
Phenomena and Mathematics on the other, the 
Brown Faculty has gained recognition and honor. 
Brown is a home fit for the scholar, whether his interest 
be letters or science. A glance at a few of the 
titles of recently published books indicates the 
academic breadth of teacher-authors at Brown: 

"Art, the Critics and You." "Economics and the 
Problems of Labor." "Philosophy as a Science." 
"Nathaniel Hawthorne: a Biography." "The Theory 
of Flight." "Early Cartography of the Pacific." 

"I'M TIRED of hearing Brown men talk about how good their college 
is," said a stranger. "What is it that makes Brown as 
great as its alumni think ii is?" For answer we turned to 
the Vice-President of the University, long one of our most 
popular and obliging contributors. 



"Upstage, Downstage." "The Economics of Inter- 
national Trade." "The American Imagination at 
Work." "Some American Contributions to the Art 
of Navigation." "Edmund Spenser and the Faerie 
Queene." "Town Meeting Country." "A Textbook 
of Biochemistry." "Lighting Design." "Eli Terry, 
Clockmaker of Connecticut." "A Scientist's Ap- 
proach to Religion." "General Physiology." "Alex- 
ander the Great." "American Woodcuts and En- 
gravings, 1670-1800." "Something of a Hero." 
"Religion in Russia." "Underwater Explosions." 
"The Political Theory of the Huguenots of the Dis- 
persion." "The United Nations: Its Record and 
Achievement." "The Chief End of Book Madness." 
"Beauty and Parting." "Handbook of Elementary 
Physics." "Some Reflections on the Book Arts in 
Early Mexico." (More were to be added, but the 
editor cried, "Enough!") 

Scores of monographs, articles, and scientific papers 
attest the intellectual vigor of the Brown Faculty. 
Little wonder that a University of Brown's size ranks 
so high in — "American Men of Science." In a 
recently published study of notable scientific scholars, 
"Scientists Starred," the Brown Faculty, when 
matched against the faculties of nearly 2000 institu- 
tions of higher learning in America, is classed 
among the first 20. It is likewise not surprising that 
the men who have studied at Brown — those who 
hold her Bachelor's or Doctor's degrees — have an 
equally enviable position in this exclusive assemblage 
of scientific personnel. 

The recent record of Brown in Applied Mathe- 
matics illustrates the lively spirit of the Brown 
Faculty in scientific studies. In 1941 Brown saw the 
great need in this country for graduate study in 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



Applied Mathematics and it organized a curriculum 
which was the first of its kind in America. For many 
reasons Europe had led the world in this field. In the 
days of Newton mathematics usually meant applied 
mathematics, but in later years the emphasis was less 
on applied mathematics and more and more on 
ptire mathcmetics. In this country it was Brown 
that started the pendulum back. The program at 
Brown was on the graduate level, following the recom- 
mendations of an Evaluating Committee headed by 
the President of the American Mathematical Society. 
The strength of the Mathematics Department, the 
publication on College Hill of the Mathematical 
Review, the superb mathematics library — all these 
influences, together with the zeal for investigation and 
research, ha\e made Brown in recent years pre- 
eminent in this field in America. In both teaching 
and research Brown tests well. 

► There are several traditions which have con- 
tributed toward Brown's success in assembling and 
holding a superior Faculty. It is a Brown tradition 
that there should be academic freedom on College 
Hill. It is a Brown tradition that standards must be 
high and work must be thorough. It is a Brown 
tradition that a member of a University Faculty 
should have an opportunity to teach advanced 
courses and do research. (The University therefore 
gives more than lip-service to the belief of President 
Andrews that "a Professor who does not go far 
beN'ond . . . , who is not original, enterprising, aggres- 
sive, deep, however brilliant he may be, cannot teach 
even the ordinary truth relating to his department so 
triumphantly as one who has made wider and more 
exhaustive attainments.") It is a Brown tradition 
that both scholars and undergraduates should have 
access to a Library of distinction. 

The Brown Library, once hidden in the hills of 
nearby Massachusetts until the storms of the Revolu- 
tionary War had subsided, has now grown until it is 
the largest for any college its size in the world. In- 
cluded in the University Library are 700,000 volumes 
(not counting government documents) ; a Lincoln 
Collection which ranks with the nation's best; the 
Harris Collection of American poetry and plays — 
largest of its kind in existence; and a mathematics 
library which is one of the finest in the world. 

In addition the University welcomes scholars from 
around the globe to its great collection of Americana, 
the John Carter Brown Library. The historian 
Frederick Jackson Turner described the volumes in 
this Library as "the aristocracy of American history, 
the eldest settlers and the first born of the noble 
lineage of books that preserves that priceless record of 
the first three centuries of America." It is a Brown 
policy not just to enshrine these great documents but 
to encourage their study and investigation. All 
Brown men therefore are proud when the librarian of 
this great collection is awarded honorary degrees by 
Yale and Michigan not only for his own extensive 
writings but also for his aid to scores of others in the 
world of scholarship. And now in 1948 another 
unique collection — this of books printed before 1500 — 
comes under Brown direction through the transfer 
to the University of the Annmary Brown Library. 
When the touchstone of library resources is applied, 
this University is found to be of remarkably high 
quality. 



► But there is another tradition which is re- 
sponsible to a large degree for the greatness of Brown 
today, and that is the exceedingly high calibre of the 
Brown undergraduate. There is no touchstone more 
important than this one. A great Faculty and a great 
student body are interdependent; without one you 
do not have the other. Moreover, it is axiomatic 
that strength in the student body today means strength 
in the alumni body tomorrow. 

The overwhelming success of Brown's admission 
program during the past two decades has brought the 
University a prestige which is commensurate with its

to Brown this fall for his final semester. At the 
London games he led the Americans in his event and

histoPN'. It has the regard of the principals and head- 
masters of America's secondary schools. The glor- 
ious success of the program of seeking the best- 
qualified wherever they may be found placed Brown 
with the top ranking institutions of higher learning 
as far as student personnel is concerned. Before the 
eight Presidents could effect an Ivy Group in football 
there had to be a mutual respect among admission 
officers of these colleges for their student selections. 
It should be a source of great satisfaction to every 
alumnus that Brown's number of first choices, as ex- 
pressed on the College Board applications, quad- 
rupled since 1940, and that no other institution can 
show such a rise. Brown now stands fifth on this 
first choice list, and the first four are institutions 
larger than Brown. 

Brown men may take pride in a national champion- 
ship for dinghy racing, for track laurels in the Olympic, 
for a football team that brings home the bacon, for a 
bright show by Brownbrokers, — yes, for a thousand 
different features which are all a part of life on College 
Hill. But when the true tests are applied to a Uni- 
versity, when the touchstones are used to examine 
Faculty, students. Library, atmosphere and tradi- 
tional ideals, then is the time when Brown men can 
praise themselves, for, as trustees of a noble heritage, 
they have supported a succession of governing bodies 
and administrations which have never lost sight of 
the chief purpose of a University. They have rec- 
ognized that first and foremost a University is a place 
of the mind. 4 



Before the Game m 

►► Going to New Haven for the Yale game Sept. 
25 this fall? If you are, the Brown Club there has 
some plans which will interest you. In addition to 
its annual Friday night smoker at the Taft Hotel 
the New Haven alumni are sponsoring a gala rally 
the day of the game for all Brunonians and their 
parties. Lunch is involved. 

In addition to the alumni, their families, and friends, 
undergraduates from Providence will join the throng, 
although the game takes place before the ofificial 
opening of College. As a part of the Freshman Week 
program, busses are being hired to transport the 
Freshman Class to New Haven. 

The Yale Soccer Field will be the scene of the pre- 
game rally at 12:30 o'clock, just an hour and a half 
before the Varsity game which starts the 1948 season. 
The soccer field is between the Bowl and the official 
parking field. R. E. Copeland '15, chairman of the 
New Haven Brown Club's special committee, des- 
cribes arrangements as follows: 

"There will be a rostrum with a loud speaker, with 
outstanding Brown alumni manning the microphone. 
There will be intermittent introductions of celebrities, 
interspersed with appropriate remarks by the mi- 
crophone adepts, cheers, songs, the Brown Band, 
horse-play, and plenty of enthusiasm. Bring your 
own lunches if possible. Concessionaires will be pre- 
pared to serve hot dogs, hamburgers, soft drinks, etc., 
but it will be better to bring your own and participate 
in the popular custom of eating a box lunch in the 
beautiful setting on a fall afternoon while you're 



chit-chatting with 'long time no see' old pals. We 
think this will be a Brown Day at New Haven." 

Friday night, Sept. 24, will see the customary 
Brown gathering at the Taft Hotel, a tradition of 
many years' standing, always a good evening with 
speakers from the Hill and football movies and com- 
ment. Coach Engle will probably be on hand to 
talk about the 1948 team, since he has come to feel 
that this smoker at the Taft has talisman qualities 
(Brown has won five of the last eight Yale games). 
Clarence W. Miller '12, President of the Brown Club, 
and Secretary John Braman '40 are making the 
arrangements. 

The Club season was off to a flying start Sept. 11 
when a beach party and wiener roast was arranged 
at Bob Dugan's summer home in East Haven. The 
affair was planned not only as a get-together for the 
members and prospective members but also as a 
sendoff to undergraduates from the area before their 
departure to College. The fathers of the boys were 
also invited. ^ 

► Another Kickoff 

^*" Brown men will be watching Connecticut in 
October, where the alumni of that State lead off with 
their campaign operation in support of the Housing 
and Development Program. Starting ahead of the 
rest of the country, the Connecticut men will make 
their localized move under the new plan, which will be 
followed elsewhere later. 

The Housing Campaign is starting its second phase, 
as the University .seeks another $3,000,000 for resi- 
dential purposes to attain the total objective. The 
general alumni campaign will be undertaken as here- 
tofore by regional area and local organizations, with 
emphasis on personal interviews. For the solicitation 
of some 14,000 Brown men the campaign corps has 
been re-enlisted and strengthened. 

It is planned to conduct a series of intensive cam- 
paigns, region by region. This method will reduce the 
period during which the volunteers will be expected 
to be active. It will provide a maximum of assist- 
ance from the various members of the University 
staff. And it will concentrate attention upon the 
campaign in each given area. 

"The campaign in the Connecticut Region will be 
of great interest to all," says National Chairman 
Claude R. Branch '07. "Much will depend on the 
Connecticut response, and we are counting on the 
organization there to make great headway as the 
campaign gains momentum for the second time. 
Although the area around Greenwich has been as- 
signed to New York City, there are about 825 Brown 
men to be approached in the region assigned to Con- 
necticut. W^e ask wholehearted support from them 
because it will have more than local significance. 
It will point up the whole enterprise. 

"The splendid objective survey made by Arthur B. 
Homer '17 and his Student Housing Board has fortified 
our convictions as to the vital importance of pro- 
ceeding with buildings necessary to make Brown a 
residential College of the character we seek. Brown 
has, we believe, everything which such a college 
needs except the housing facilities."

Connecticut, and he has made the following respon- 
sible for their areas : Bridgeport — Edmund L. Eveleth

Robert O. Loosley, Secretary of the University, and 
others from College Hill will support the effort in the 
field during the progress of the Connecticut campaign, 
just as they have been active in preparation for it. 

More than halfway to its final objective, the Hous- 
ing and Development Campaign thus reopens. The 
goal of this national drive for funds will be another 
$3,000,000 for construction of residential facilities

(the Quadrangle), in addition to the $3,000,000 already 
raised in the first phase. In the over-all program the 
University plans to build living quarters for about 
750 men, including 17 fraternity units to accommodate 
a total of 450 and other dormitory units to accommo- 
date another 300. 

Last June the Corporation approved plans for the 
erection of the $1,000,000 Refectory, on the north- 
east corner of the Quadrangle site (on the southwest 
corner of George and Thayer Sts., across from Hege- 
man Hall). Ground for this will be broken after the 
first of the year. Money already in hand will finance 
this part of the program. 

All eyes are now on Connecticut. ^ 

Alumni Fund Raises $34,500 

► After a short campaign for money for the general 
uses of the University, the Brown Alumni Fund closed 
its 1948 books June 30 with the receipt of gifts total- 
ling $34,554.17 from 2007 alumni. Nearly 700 of the 
the gifts and $8,900 came in during June. Included 
in the total is $794.82 in income from the Alumni 
Endowment of the Brown Alumni Fund, which was 
increased during the past year by 10 gifts totalling 
$180. In addition, the Class of 1892 Fund yielded 
$256.42 for Alumni Fund total. 

In expressing appreciation to the alumni and his 
co-workers, Thomas F. Black '19, Chairman of the 
Alumni Fund Trustees and their campaign organiza- 
tion, said the results of the campaign effort were above 
expectation. No alumni were solicited who had 
commitments on Jan. 1 to give to the Housing and 
Development Campaign, and the appeal was not as 
intensively pushed in view of the limited time avail- 
able. It was the first Alumni Fund appeal since 
1946, since the Housing and Development Campaign 
was given a clear field in 1947. 4

BY HENRY M. WRISTON 

► ► Time brings changes in point of view. Since 
our housing program was launched there have been 
important developments which accentuate its need 
and which give added point to the entire program. 

There has long been a drift in the direction of public 
education. This is not an occurence to which inde- 
pendent institutions should object, although there 
occasionally are manifestations of emerging policies 
which are not wise and which must be resisted even 
when the general trend is sound. 

The more public education advances the more 
essential it is that privately endowed institutions 
should be strong in order to meet the competition. 
They should strengthen themselves also to show how 
important is the contribution of a genuinely inde- 
pendent college to a free society. It has long been 
recognized that independent institutions are, while 

WHERE does a College live? IVe don't mean that sentimental 
business about living in the hearts of its alumni; this is a 
matter of housing, of a student body in residence. The 
article by President Wriston answers the question as to what 
extent Brown is and will be a residential College — and why. 
His text was originally part of a memorandum which he 
wrote for the Student Housing Board, which we asked per- 
mission to print. 



competitive, a real protection to the academic in- 
tegrity of public supported colleges. 

Since the war many State Legislatures have taken 
action expanding State support of education and 
reducing local control. There are also important 
moves for Federal support and Federal influence in 
public education. Centralization tends to induce 
uniformity; but the mind of man is infinitely diverse, 
and there is need for many forms, kinds, and shapes 
of education. It is our responsibility to see that the 
liberal education which our Charter promoted not 
only survives in the new environment, but advances 
in power and influence. 

The situation of endowed colleges is now somewhat 
analagous to that of academies when public high 
schools became universal. Many private schools 
had to retire from the field; on the other hand, those 
which had distinctive programs and adequate re- 
sources became not weaker, but very much stronger. 

There will always be people who insist upon a 
genuine liberal education and who want the services 
of strong independent colleges. Those which are to 
survive as truly independent must diversify their 
constituencies and draw from wider and wider areas. 
Again the history of private preparatory schools is 
instructive. That was the course which the success- 
ful academies pursued in analagous circumstances. 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



■* Brown has already run a pilot operation in ac- 
centuating residential character at Pembroke. Geo- 
graphical diversification has made steady advances. 
The percentage of students in residence has increased 
from 44% in 1936 to 68% now; it is expected to be 
still higher next year^ — perhaps 70%. That has put 
Pembroke in such a strong position that the recent 
establishment of a new college for women in Rhode 
Island, the decision of the State College to offer the 
Bachelor of Arts degree, and the prospective estab- 
lishment of junior colleges have not altered the 
rhythm of its program. Indeed, Pembroke's position 
is so favorable that it could still grow despite the new 
competitive elements. 

One aspect of Pembroke's experience is instructive 
in relation to the size of the housing program for the 
College. When the effort to build a new dormitory 
was launched, the plan was to house 65 girls. Not 
so much the increasing size of Pembroke as it? growing 
residential character led to building Andrews Hall 
for 249. Even with room for this number, instead of 
being able to retire small dormitories as had been 
anticipated, we are keeping all in operation — and 
have added some new ones. This indicates that the 
proposal for 750 accommodations in the Quadrangle 
is not excessive; it may well prove an underestimate. 
If, with 2000 undergraduates men, we average 70% 
in residence, we shall not be able to retire small, old, 
inadequate dormitories, unless in the future years 
other residental units are added. 

I am fully convinced that as public education is 
expanded (particularly if the recommendations of 
the President's Commission on Higher Education 
are adopted) we shall have to look forward to a time 
when SO'^j of the students are in residence at Brown. 
We have a tendency to think of a very high percentage 
of residential students as something new in the Col- 
lege. To a considerable extent it is, in reality, a 
return to an earlier day, for 70%, of the students were 
housed on the campus at the opening of this century. 
(And 77% of the entering schoolbo}- Freshmen this 
fall requested rooms.) 

► Our geographical distribition has varied over 
the years. There have been times in our history 
when a high percentage of our students came from 
outside Rhode Island and other times when the local 
character was heavily emphasized. In periods of 
depression or when the matter was not given specific 
and vigorous attention the tendency to be local was 
strong. In recent years the College has made head- 
way in geographical diversification, but by no means 
enough. \'igorous measures are being taken still 
further to broaden Brown's geographical distribution. 
At the same time we are raising scholastic standards, 
which will attract people who set a high value upon 
quality in education. To attain stability for this 
improved competitive position we must bring our 
housing up to a standard which will have a very strong 
appeal to people from a distance; this will be particu- 
larly important as public policies intensify competition. 

The secondary function of the Housing and Develop- 
ment Campaign is intimately related to the first. 
The fraternity system at Brown, as elsewhere, has 
gone through an enormous alteration since its origin. 
After the fraternities acquired property the location 
of their houses within a crowded city proved in- 
creasingly adverse financially; while some chapters 
could survive, the system could not continue unless 



subsidized. It became essential, therefore, to relieve 
the fraternities of the burden of debt and taxes. 

As a group fraternity members are economically 
better off and their college preparation tends to be 
better than that of non-fraternity men; yet their 
scholastic record does not reflect these advantages. 
Having made the decision to continue the fraternity 
system, we face the absolute necessity of making the 
chapters a harmonious element in our educational 
program. Conditions of life markedly affect morals, 
manners, and interests. Better housing alone cannot 
achieve our educational goals, but it can make a vital 
contribution. 

► During the last decade before the war, progress 
had been made in giving Brown a more effective 
residential character. Warren House, George House, 
Horace Mann were added. Laboratories, classrooms, 
and offices were removed from Maxcy so that the 
building was wholly available for dormitory use. 
The meager dormitory facilities at the top of Univer- 
sity Hall and in Prospect House were abandoned. 
In 1936, 52.4% of the students were in residence on 
the campus; in 1940, 62% lived in dormitories or 
fraternity houses. Just before the war, for the first 




HEGEMAN HALL AT BROWN 

time in many years, all non-commuting students 
could be housed in college dormitories or fraternity 
houses. 

As various steps toward housing all students were 
taken it was recognized that the accommodations, 
both new and old, fraternity houses and dormitories 
alike, were inadequate. The dormitories acquired by 
purchase in the years before the war were regarded as 
temporary. Neither in location, size, fabric, nor 
facilities did they meet proper standards. They were 
bought because sub-standard student residences con- 
stituted a far less evil than having students scattered 
around the town, wholly out of our zone of influence a 
good part of their college life. The purpose was to 
lay the foundations for a general housing plan to be

put in operation as soon as opportunity presented. 
New construction was known to be vital. 

The fruits of much of that effort have now been lost 
because of the necessary changes in habits of student 
life during and after the war. This year only 39% 
of our students are in College residences. The 
significance of this temporary figure lies in the fact 
that the advantages of a residential college, which 
the undergraduates had come to recognize by the 
time the war broke out, are not known to the present 
student body. 

► Dormitory life has not been satisfactory to this 
generation of students. We have had to overcrowd 
our dormitories until they resembled barracks. Even 
those who lived on the campus did not find that their 
living quarters contributed a favorable educational 
environment. Hundreds hav'e been scattered through 
out the communit\' beyond the scope of college in- 
fluence and discipline. In other words, at the most 



strategic moment for re-emphasing the residential 
ideal it became necessary seriously to impair Brown's 
residential character. 

The change in size of the College, fully justified 
on educational grounds, has sharply increased the 
necessity for new accommodations at the same 
moment that heightened competition has made better 
housing an urgent matter. Without new accommoda- 
tions we cannot even return to our pre-war percentage 
in residence, because the increase in the size of the 
College from 1400 to 2000 was predicated upon new 
accommodations. Before the war we had 601 spaces 
in all our dormitories and 270 spaces in the fraternities, 
a total of 871 spaces. If we have a College of 2000 
students and return to the pre-war norm of 60 per 
cent in residence, we must have 1200 spaces. There 
will, consequently, be a "normal" deficiency of 329 
spaces unless we have new housing. In other words, 
we cannot stand still without going backward. a

^ *' The Pigskin Parade is on, and from all indica- 
tions 1948 may go down in the records as one of the 
greatest years of the fall sport in its 79-year history. 
Reports from the grid training camps across the 
nation tell of a wealth of capaJale material, squads 
loaded with returning veterans and promising Sopho- 
mores, and enough potential AU-Americans to keep the 
press agents busy from now until the day they have 
to take time out to file their income tax reports. 

Here on College Hill, the outlook for the season is 
bright, but Head Coach Rip Engle, never one to be 
overly-optimistic, cautions that "we've got to be good 
to stay in the ball park." The Brown squad, num- 
bering about 75, began practice on Sept. 2, little more 
than three weeks before it journeys to New Haven to 
face the Elis of Yale in a stiff season's opener. Then 
follows a tilt against talent-ladened Princeton before 
the Bruins display their wares before the home folks 
against Rhode Island on Oct. 9. The remainder of 
the schedule includes Holy Cross, Connecticut, 
Rutgers, Western Reserve, Harvard and Colgate in 
that order. 

The 1948 team will be attempting to better last 
year's record of four wins, four loses and one tie. 
Missing this year will be center Lou Reginc, quarter- 
back Paul Gaffney, and practically the entire end 
squad, — namely Paul Flick, Dick Pretat, George 
Boothby, Bill Schuster and Don Campbell. But 19 
lettermen make the nucleus for a seasoned team.

BROWN'S WJfS football campaign, without waiting to gather 
momentum, starts with a hang. The opening game with 
Yale provides a highlight ordinarily reserved for mid-season, 
and should be the feature contest of the East on Sept. 25 as 
the Elis present their first Ilickman-coached eleven against a 
Bear which has won five of its last eight meetings at New 
Haven. But Lew Shaw, Brown's new Director of Athletic 
Publicity, covers the whole Fall in introducing the Varsity 
to the alumni. The schedule: Sept. 25 — Yale at New 
Haven. Oct. 2 — Princeton at Princeton. Oct. 9 — Rhode 
Island. Oct. 16— Holy Cross at Worcester. Oct. 23— 
Connecticut. Oct. SO — Rutgers at New Brunswick. Nov. 
6 — Western Reserve. Nov. 13 — Harvard at Cambridge. 
Nov. 25 — Colgate.

he needs in certain positions, and, as Rip says, "if 
we can find capable replacements for the personnel 
lost through graduation, our team should compare 
favorably with last year's, which we considered a good 
team." At the end of the first week of practice, the 
squad was well advanced in condition and prepara- 
tion. 

► ENGLE IS WORKING with the same coaching stafT 
that guided the Bruin grid fortunes last season. Gus 
Zitrides is hack to handle the line, Jim Dunn the backs. 
Bob Priestley the ends, Joe McMullen the Junior 
Varsity, and Arnie Soloway and Ernie Savignano the 
Freshmen. In this respect. Brown has a certain 
advantage over four of its opponents, because Herman 
Hickman of Yale, Bill Osmanski of Holy Cross, Mike 
Scarry of Western Reserve and Arthur Valpey of 
Harvard are all in their first year as head coaches. 

Probably the brightest spot in the Providence pig- 
skin picture is the big, rugged line which will represent 
the Bears this fall. Such hefty linemen as Don Colo 
(240), Bill McLellan (220), Gerry Walters (215), 
Bob Rougvie (200), Jerry DeAngelis (205) and Joe 
Condon (200) will give the Bruins plenty of weight up 
front. Add to this group such talented performers as 
Captain Norm lacuele (180), Bill Hair (185), Dave 
Livingston (180), Tom Nicholas (190), Milt Hodosh 
(190), John Scott (180), and Bob Searles (190), and 
you have a very formidable forward wall. Two new 
faces, Frank Mahoney and Jack Thompson, may 
provide that offensive punch at end that the Bruins 
so sorely lacked last year. Mahoney is best known for 
his basketball ability (he scored 34 points against 
Rhode Island State in 1947; he was ineligible last 
.season), while Thompson is a transfer from the 
Veterans College who tips the scale at 210 and stands 
six one. 

The two centers, Scott and Condon, have been 
cited for special recognition by the coaching staff. 
Scotty is small but one of the most accomplished 
players on the squad, and Engle states that the West 
Orange, New Jersey lad has the best coordination and 
blocking technique among the linemen. He plays a

KIMBALL AND BEAR (Ronald M. Kimball '18, 
Chicago banker and Brown Alumni Trustee, leads 
the Midwest alumni who are presenting a Big Brown 
(Kodiak) Bear to the College. (For story see next 
page.) Kimball was photographed above by Edwin 
L. Read, Jr., '35 at the summer outing of the Chicago 
Brown Club. 

very aggresive game and scholastically is a potential 
Phi Beta Kappa student. Condon, who doubles as a 
place kicker, has improved to such an extent that 
Engle intends to make more use of his specialty. 
Last season he booted 18 conversions in 23 tries and 
one field goal. 

► The starting backfield has returned intact, 
featuring Ed Finn, Fred Kozak, Chuck Nelson and 
Arnie Green. Also back are Marty Gresh, Billy 
Houston, Joe and George Paterno, Loren Rodewig and 



Roger Young. Finn rated tops last year as quarter- 
back, passer and ballhandler and is pointing toward 
one of his best seasons. Eddie completed 35 passes 
in 89 attempts for 505 yards in 1947, and his best 
performance was against Connecticut when he hit 
8 out of 11 for a .727 average and 172 yards. He also 
came into his own as ball carrier last year, as he 
showed his versatility on punt returns and quarter- 
back sneaks. 

Kozak, a triple-threat back from Fall River, Mass., 
weighing only 165 pounds, was the leading scorer a 
year ago. Freddie is termed more of a workhorse 
than a spectacular runner, and he is a consistent 
ground-gainer. (His longest run was against Col- 
gate, measuring 61 yards.) Nelson made a name for 
himself in his Freshman year (1946) as the receiver of 
many of Ed Finn's aerials. Last year he was plagued 
with injuries and did not reach peak form, but in 
spring practice he displayed his former skill once 
again. Green scales only 180, light for a fullback, 
but he works to advantage in Engle's quick-opening 
plays, making good use of his agility and aggressive- 
ness. 

A look at some of the opposing teams shows the 
Bruins will have their hands full on more than one 
occasion. Down in New Haven huge Herman Hick- 
man, who formerly tutored the lines at Army which 
opened the holes for such stars as Glen Davis and 
Doc Blanchard, probably wishes he had a few of his 
Cadet linemen in the Yale forward wall this year. 
Herman has some of the best backs in the East avail- 
able, but the line poses a different problem. In 
front of such stars as Levi Jackson, "The Ebony 
Express;" Tex Furse, the nation's most accurate 
passer last year; Jim Fuchs, former Chicago schoolboy 
sensation and more recently an Olympic shotputter; 
and Ferdinand "The Bull" Nadherny are only two 
veterans: Captain Bill Conway, a center, and Vic 
Frank, a guard and also a member of the Olympic 
team. Hickman refers to his line as "The Seven 
Dwarfs" because not one line candidate weighs 200 
pounds, but the Blues should not be regarded lightly 
for size is not the only factor in football play today.

''Tibi Solemniter Trado" 

A Commencement Composite with a Limerick Lilt -- Singable and Certainly Readable 



We come to Commencement Day gaily 
It's a show that you cannot see daily 

With gay caps and gowns 

Instead of the clowns 
It's better than Barnum & Bailey. 

With quasi-funereal cadence 

Gray's bandsmen precede the paradants. 

Their horns and their flutes 

Emit these slow toots. 
Exclusive on College Hill pavements. 

Oh first is High SherifT Costello 
A jolly but dignified fellow 

His place in the show — 

Tradition, you know. 
In case the alumni get mellow. 

Next in the line is Ben Brown, 

His mortarboard perched on his crown. 

With traditional grace 

He carries the mace 
To officially signify Brown. 



The marshals next merit attention 
And possibly hon'rable mention 

With top hats and spats 

And beribboned bats 
And a soupcon of cranial distension. 

And now we behold our Hank Wriston, 
His knees up and down like a piston 

.■\s he strums on his harp. 

.Alongside Hank Sharpe, 
He leads on the brethren and sistern. 

At last come the Fellows resplendent 
With all of the Trustees appendant. 

When the melody dies 

The Prexy then cries, 
"Now please candidali ascendant." 

Then out of the Church they all pour. 
This time they go out the back door. 

And back up the hill 

Like Jack after Jill 
They're back on the Campus once more. 



In almost no time they begin it — 
Collegiate machinery's the limit — 

The Prex gives diplomas 

'Mid Latin aromas 
At thirty degrees to the minute. 

.And now come awards honorandi 
For any great men who are handy: 

.\n author of note 

Or a learned old goat 
Or a prominent merchant of candy. 

With a solemn and dignified grado 
They climb up the steps with bravado. 
As their hoods drop in place. 
The Prex says with grace: 
"Tibi Solemniter Trado."

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



For Brownbroker Alviinni 



< M 



► ► Dear Editor: 

This is a suggestion for a Brown Alumni 
Monthly story with everything an editor 
could ask for: pretty girls, nostalgic grad- 
uates of both Pembroke and Brown, and 
the birth of a new alumni organization 
with great plans for the future, including 
annual get-togethers that may well match 
the fame of the Circus Saints and Sinners. 

I am the unofficial press agent of this 
group, the Brownbrokers alumni, who had 
one successful preliminary get-together on 
July 9 and are now planning a big, official 
meeting on Oct. 2. The idea grew out of 
the desire of a few New York Brownbrokers 
alumni to get together and reminisce about 
the old but not forgotten shows, and it has 
now developed into a program for a per- 
manent organization of East coast Brown- 
brokers alumni holding annual meetings. 
We hope that you like the idea as much as 
we do and that you can publish a little 
story. 

All Brownbrokers alumni — both Pem- 
brokers and Brown men — are invited to a 
get-together at the New York Brown Club 
at 8:30 on Saturday night, October 2nd. 
This date was selected so that we could be 
sure of a record attendance from people 
in the area for the Brown-Princeton game 
that weekend. A bar will be set up, and 
this will be a chance for a mellow reunion 
among members of all the old shows. 
But we promise entertainment as well with 
at least 7-acts-7 made up of numbers 
from old Brownbrokers shows and new 
material especially written for the occa- 
sion. -And finally, we plan a short business 
discussion to elect permanent officers and 
lay plans for the future. 

► The e.xpected success of this October 
meeting can best be measured by the over- 
whelming success of the preliminary July 
meeting. The enthusiastic response to 
that meeting was beyond the most opti- 
mistic hopes of the small New York group 
who planned the get-together. In the 
first place, no complete address list of 
Brownbrokers alumni could be gathered 
in the short time available, but none-the- 
less, as the result of postcards hastily 
mailed more or less in the dark, some 70 
people showed up from the classes of 1937 
through 1948. It had been expected that 
only New Yorkers would attend, but 
people showed up from distant parts of 
New Jersey, northern Westchester, New 
Haven, and one devoted alumnus, Norden 
Schloss, '39, came all the way from North 
Carolina just for the get-together. And 
from people who couldn't make it, letters 
came in declaring this was the best idea 
they'd heard of in a long time and that 
they would be sure to make the next 
meeting. 

The party was a success for several 
reasons. People who hadn't seen each 
other for ten years discovered that the 
undergraduate bonds made when they 
worked on shows together are just as 
strong today. The meeting, which was 
held at the New York Brown Club, had no 
speeches but plenty of entertainment. 
Most of the acts, which were from old 
Brownbrokers shows, were assigned to 
people with only a few moments' notice, 
and one was an original piece, written for 
the occasion by Bernard Lubar, '43. 



The program: (1) Bob Ross, '47: 
impersonations of Pres. Henry Wriston, 
from the 1947 Brownbrokers show. (2) 
"Pete" Pearson, '44; Sid Marks, '43; Bob 
Joelson, '42; and Jane Stark, '43: "The 
Staff of Life", a "patter" number by Mary 
DriscoU, '41, from the 1941 Brownbrokers 
show, "Run for Your Life". (3) Bill 
Lacey, '48; and Chuck Keilus, '48: the 
song, "Camel Song", from the 1948 Brown- 
brokers show, "Genie Knows Best". 
(4) Charlie Scovil, '44; George Joelson, 
'42; Ross Davis, '41; and Norton Wolf, 
'43: "Life Goes to a Party", a "patter" 
number by Lucy Stark, '41, from the 1941 
Brownbrokers show, "Run for Your 
Life". (5) Bob Joelson, '42; and Mary 
Lou Hutchinson, '44: "Step LTp Mister", 
a song and dance number by Rae Brent, 
'44, and Sid Marks, '41, from the 1942 
Brownbrokers show, "The Three Bears". 
(6) Philip Reisman, '38; Bill Reisman, '40; 
Bob O'Brien, '39; and Frannie Babcock, 
'40: "The Station Wagon Set", by Bill 
Reisman, from the 1940 Brownbrokers 
show, "Ten to One". (This, incidentally, 
was easily the hit of the evening.) (l) 
Bernard Lubar, '43; and Lou Smadbeck, 
'42: "The Pencil Sharpener Set," a 
"patter" number parody of the "Station 



Wagon Set", and an original number, 
written by Bernard Lubar, that we hope 
will be the forerunner of many more such 
original numbers for the Brownbrokers 
meetings. Music was provided at the 
piano by Sid Marks, '43 and George 
Mc.'Mpine, '41, both of whom came down 
from Providence especially for the evening. 
Norm Ross, '42, acted more or less as 
master-of-ceremonies. 

Credit for the idea of the alumni group 
goes to Rubye Jo Sheehan, '42, who con- 
vinced some of her more skeptical New 
York friends that an enthusiastic response 
could be expected. She is still the spark 
plug and the person behind the plans for 
the October meeting. I hope this gives 
you the information you need, but if you 
want any more, please write to Justine 
Tyrrell Smadbeck, 44 West 10th Street, 
New York City.

The Biggest of Brown Bears -^ -^ 



► ► Bears don't come any bigger than 
this. The Big Brown (Kodiak) stands 
nearly 12 feet tall, as undergraduates will 
soon realize when they see the animal 
presented to the University Oct. 15. 
It comes as a gift from the alumni of the 
Middle West, headed by Ronald M. Kim- 
ball '18 of Chicago. 

The conqueror of the bear was Jack 
Durrell, noted big game hunter, former 
Vice-President of the National City Bank 
of New York. He tells his friend Kimball 
how it all happened: 




THE BEAR that came to Brown. 
The big Kodiak dwarfs its con- 
queror Jack Durrell. 

10 



"My guide and I located this huge 
bear early one morning in March, 1938, 
on Sitka Peninsula, some 10 miles up the 
valley back of our camp. Through our 
binoculars, we watched him fight and 
whip four other bears ('Named Harvard, 
\ale, Princeton, and Dartmouth, no 
doubt,' Kimball interrupts.) He chased 
the last one over the top of the range. 
On his way back to the valley several 
hours later, we intercepted him, and I 
tried to stop him while he was still some 
300 yards above us. Knocked him down 
three separate times, but he got up each 
time and tried to get down to us and get 
even. My fourth shot, when he was much 
too close for comfort, blasted him off the 
ridge into an alder-filled gulch, and he was 
too badly crippled to climb back again. 

"Neither my guide nor I relished the 
idea of going into the alders after him, 
but we finally screwed enough courage up. 
Stumbled onto him in a small creek, and 
finished him off as he was attempting to 
climb out and get at us. It took us the 
better part of the next two days and all 
kinds of amateur engineering to get his 
hide off while he was in the brook. The 
guide estimated his weight at 1600 pounds, 
his hide alone weighing 150 pounds a 
month later. This bear, a Big Brown 
(true name, but vulgarly known as a 
Kodiak) was a fighter in every sense of 
the word, and should be a credit to Brown 
University." 

The presentation will take place Oct. 15, 
the night before the Holy Cross football 
game. The arrival of the bear will set 
olT a great rally of undergraduates and 
alumni. A

A Report on Reunions 



M ^ 



► ► A Reinion report is a pretty fiat 
substitute for the real thing, but names 
re\'i\'e memories, which are a major by- 
product of reunion, after all. Here, then, 
in the barest of skeletons are some ref- 
erences to a great Commencement. We 
were able to report on only a few of the 
Reimion Classes and their activities in 
the Jul\- issue of this magazine, notably 
1898, 1907, and 1923. Here are others: 
1891 

Class President George J. Holden 
entertained classmates and contempor- 
aries at a Hope Club dinner June 19, an 
annual custom of his. The guests: Chester 
A. Cook '91, Chicago, William H. Paine 
'91, Frank L. Hinckley '91, Judge Ed- 
ward H. Rathbun '89, E. B. Aldrich '93, 
E. H. Weeks '93, Dr. William H. Magill 
'93, J. D. E. Jones '93, Fred Tenney '94, 
Joseph G. Henshaw, Stuart M. Aldrich, 
and Dr. Louis H. Kalloch. The Class 
held its traditional memorial service at 
the 1891 section of the Front Campus 
fence before the march down the Hill 
Commencement Day. 
1893 

Traditional hosts at 1893 gatherings 
did themselves proud again this year when 
Edward B. Aldrich entertained the Class 
at the Squantum Club on June 20 and 
J. D. E. Jones was host at breakfast at the 
Hope Club on June 21. Members of the 
Class back for this, their 55th reunion, 
were: Daniel Howard, Robert M. Brown, 
Edgar M. Johnson, Thomas P. Corcoran, 
(ieorge W. Perkins, Dr. William H. Magill, 
John L. Casey, Edward H. Weeks, Daniel 
C. Snow, Edwin B. Dolan, J. D. E. Jones, 
•Arnold B. Chace, Jr., Elliott Studley, and 
Orrin P. Durkee. Members of the Class 
of 1891 who were guests included George 
J. Holden, Frank L. Hinckley, and Chester 
A. Cook. Others attending were Dean 
Samuel T. Arnold, '13, Fred Tenney '94, 
and John W. Sweeney. 
1899 

The Class anticipated its 50th Re- 
union next year by gathering 23 strong 
at the Hope Club for dinner on June 19. 
Judge Charles A. Walsh presented plans 
for the golden j ubilee which were approved . 
Prof. Bernard C. Ewer from Claremont, 
Calif., and Prof. Ralph E. Storey from 
McMinnville, Ore., were awarded prizes 
for coming the longest distances. Class 
officers, all present at dinner, are Edward 

A. Stockwell, President; Charles C. Rem- 
ington, Secretary; and Howard H. Wilkin- 
son, Treasurer. Others attending were. 
Russell W. Baker, John F. Bannon, Dr. 
Samuel M. Beale, Dr. Charles O. Cooke, 
William J. Duffy, Jr., Ralph C. Estes, 
Benjamin W. Grim, Clarence H. Guild, 
Jr., James G. Harris, Louis R. Holmes, 
Charles A. Hull, Harry B Loud, Arthur 
N. Sheldon, Howard R. Smart, George W. 
Sutcliffe, Frederick A. Vose, and Raymer 

B. Weeden. 

1900 
Members of the Class had only an in- 
formal reunion this year, a breakfast at 
the University Club on June 21. Those 
who attended were: Dr. Herbert H. 
Armington, Prof. Charles W. Brown, 
Harris H. Bucklin, .Austin H. Fittz, George 
E. Marble, Walter H. Mitchell, Arthur L. 
Perry, Harry K. Poole, Charles G. Rich- 
ardson, Dr. Robert C. Robinson, Clinton 

C. White, and Ralph Brown. 



1902 



The Rev. .Anthony H. Dexter came on 
from Hollywood, Calif., to attend the 
46th reunion of the Class at the .Agawam 
Hunt on June 19. Class President, Rob- 
ert O. Smith; Class Secretary, Lewis .S. 
Milner; Class Treasurer, J. Cunliffe 
Bullock were all on hand to greet the 
members who were there, including Al- 
bert L. Saunders, Judge Russeil W. Rich- 
mond, Charles R. Haslam, Warren E. 
Wilmarth, Robert L. Bowen, Arthur E. 
Munroe, Fred W. Green, Jr., Albert D. 
Shaw, Everett J. Horton, Harry M. Paine, 
Sam Cohen, T. E. B Pope, Bernard Cow- 
en, George Burdick, Ernest P. B.Atwood, 
G. Edward Buxton, and Allen Greene. 

1903 

Our 45th reunion, judging from the 
comments made by those who attended 
while here and letters of appreciation sent 
by some of them after they arrived home, 
was one of the most successful and enjoy- 
able of any that we have had. Some were 
here for the full program from the "All 
Alumni" dinner on Friday night to the 
luncheon on Monday. Altogether there 
were 29, including the following: From 
Massachusetts: .Allen, Worcester; L. F. 
Baker, Wellesley Hills; Butler, Newton- 
ville; Dyson, Boston; Kinsley, Marblehead 
Newcombe, Brookline; Phillips, Cataumet, 
and White, Falmouth. From New York: 
Barrows, Bronxville; Foster, Albany; 
(Juinn, Mt. Vernon, and Walworth, Skane- 
ateles. Beam from Oakland, N. J., Drew 
from Tryon, N. C, Hall from Bridgeport, 
Conn., Leighton from Philadelphia, Pa., 
Nahigian from Wilmette, III. and from 
Providence and vicinity: H. A. Baker, 
Cady, Gleason, Grose, Hastings, Hurley, 
Larkin, Mathewson, McDonald, Otis, 
Philbrick and Rice. 

The members from out of town who 
made their headquarters in Slater Hall 
approved of that plan so enthusiastically 
that it was agreed that we would try it 
again next time. Incidentally, it was 
voted at the formal meeting held after our 
dinner at Newport that we would not wait 
for five years for our next big reunion, 
but would have one again in 1950. 

Although all of the scheduled events 
were very much enjoyed the high spot was 
probably the dinner at Squantum with 
Harvey Baker as host. The 25 year class 
of 1923 was having dinner there that same 
evening, so that there were more than 
100 Brown men gathered to listen to Vice 
President Bruce Bigelow, who made a 
most interesting after-dinner speech. The 
younger men with their singing helped to 
give the occasion plenty of "pep." 

We were blessed with one of those rare 
days in June for our dinner at Newport 
on Sunday. It was served on the porch 
of the ClitT Lawn Manor overlooking the 
.Atlantic Ocean. After dinner President 
Cady started the formal meeting by giving 
a very interesting and enjoyable talk about 
the class in general and some of the mem- 
bers in particular. He referred to the 
Brown flousing and Development Cam- 
paign and urged the members of our class 
to make generous contributions. He also 
called on each member present for a few

remarks. Your Secretary reported that 
there were 97 members of the class on his 
mailing list, from 63 of whom return 
postals were received in response to his 
notice of this reunion. 

It was voted to raise $300 more so that 
the 1903 Scholarship Fund might be made 
$6000. ($700 of accumulated income 
was added to the original $5000 fund.) 
Gifts for this purpose may be sent to

The reunion group extended sympathy 
and wishes for speedy convalescence to 
several '03 men who were prevented from 
attending because of illness, including 
Aldrich, Dillon, Carpenter, Gardner, Sher- 
man, and also Young, whose son had been 
seriously hurt in an auto accident. Sym- 
pathy was expressed for Dodge on the 
death of his wife. While the Class stood 
in silence, the Secretary announced the 
deaths of the following 20 members since 
the 1943 reunion : Bellows, Stover, Stearns, 
Cobb, Shippee, Bennett, Crowell, Bates, 
Dickerson, Haslam, Boland, Greatoux, 
Cook, Berth, Harrod, Nelson, Wade, Rich, 
Barry, and Hartman. 

The Secretary would like to hear from 
any men who failed to receive their re- 
union photos from Paramount Studios. 
There seems to have been some mixups.

Paul Chipman was still in bed, Ira Goff 
was coming, as was Mooch O'Connor, 
Sam Beeber, Angle Vernon and Walt 
Burnham, but last minute complications 
prevented their making it. Herb Sturdy 
had a daughter married on the 22nd and 
so was prevented from coming North. 
Harry Jager was obliged to go to San 
Francisco. John Cooney had to stay in 
Denver to finish his work there, much to 
his sorrow. 

Conrad Seabury has a "busted leg" 
along with five pages of his life story that 
will one day come out. Dr. Wil Seymour 
was confined at a Veteran's Hospital in 
Georgia, and, we lament to say, did not 
recover. Chris Greene expected to come 
up with Sid Paine, but was prevented at 
the last moment. Sheldon Howe had 
hoped to see some of the boys, but sent a 
donation to the B. A. Fund, instead. Hap 
Hazard wrote Dennie that he couldn't 
make the 40th, but will hope to get in on 
the next. 

Charles Francis Potter, who was with 
us one year and then attended Bucknell 
to graduate with honors in 1907 celebrated 
the 40th anniversary of his marriage and 
ordination the same week we had our 
40th. Sid Winslow had been East a 
month or so prev'ious to Commencement 
Time, and could not come back. Don 
Richardson couldn't make it either, nor 
Bill Smith, and Carl Carson wasn't able 
to swim from Hawaii. A. R. Evans and 
E. C. Ross from Williamsburg, Ky., and 
Oxford, Ohio were tied up with their own 
schools, as were Al Maryott and others.

Ambassador Ely Palmer arrived from 
Asia too late for the proceedings. 

Just the same we had 26 present for 
the .Alumni Dinner, 36 plus wives for the 
Tiverton affair, at which Prof. Kenerson 
spoke of our times, 16 at the R. I. Country 
Club dinner and the same number down 
the Hill, a total of 41 individuals, alto- 
gether, and this is our best showing. The 
class voted to send wires of sympathy to 
Paul Chipman, Dave Bruce and Dr. Wil- 
marth Seymour, and it was done. 

On Commencement Sunday after a 
dinner at the Rhode Island Country Club 
the members proceeded promptly to 
Sayles Hall for the General .Alumni meet- 
ing. They were vociferous with their 
class yell when Bill Browne of '08 was 
declared elected President-Elect of the 
Associated Alumni. As soon as the meet- 
ing was over they proceeded with en- 
thusiasm to the home of Al Thomas on 
.'Arlington Avenue to enjoy the hospitality 
of Loretta Thomas and to celebrate the 
election of Bill Browne. .Appropriate 
songs and speeches accompanied Bill's 
statements of his platform and policies. 
Mrs. Browne was transported from the 
Minden Hotel to engage in the festivities. 

On Monday morning the class was well 
represented in the Commencement pro- 
cession with Norm Case '08 acting as Chief 
Marshall and Norm Sammis and Frank 
Mason as division marshalls. 
1909 

Thirty-one members of the Class of '09 
had supper together at the Agawam Hunt 
Club on .Sunday, June 20. It was an 
unofficial reunion, but a good one with 
the following men back: Chauncey E. 
Wheeler, Donald Jackson, A. Manton 
C hace, Frederick M. Boyce, George F.

Savignano Chosen Athletic Aide M M 



► ► Ernest T. S.\vign.\no '42 has begun 
his duties as Assistant Director of .Ath- 
letics at Brown, having obtained a release

and was chosen on the State all-scholastic 
squad. He was also an All-State football 
player in New Jersey for two years while

Brown, the only man to accomplish such a 
feat. He won eight letters in three sports, 
football, basketball and baseball. He was 
picked on all-star squads his Senior year.

1918 

One of the finest reunions ever — this 
was the universal expression. Sixty- 
three attended for either full or part-time 
at the Weekapaug Inn. We even had 
some visitors from 1919, who looked in on 
us. No new Class officers were elected, 
the same set being retained. And the 
Reunion Committee was continued, after 
having given satisfaction; Chairman H. F. 

C. Wilcox, Prof. Zcnas W. Bliss, John S. 
Chafee, Dwight T. Colley, M. Joseph 
Cummings, Paul J. (jrimes. Program 
Chairman Clifton I. Munroe, Gordon L. 
Parker, Secretary Walter Adier, and J. 
Harold Williams in charge of promotion 
and publications. 

The feature of the three-day reunion 
was the banquet, at which prizes were 
awarded for various meritorious and other 
activities. Dean Kenny was the speaker 
and very well received. The Class was 
proud of its honorary degree recipients — 
Ken Parker and Earl Tomlin. A popular 
product was the reunion Class Roster, a 
listing with thumbnail sketches of the 
entire membership, plus necrology. It 
is commended to the attention of other 
classes.

IN OUR MAIL 



SIR: 

I heard the album of Musii: at Brown 
at the Alumni Reunion dinner, which I 
consider one of the finest functions I have 
ever attended, and 1 believe the band and 
glee club did themselves, our great songs, 
and the L'niversity up proud. The album 
truly contributes to the greatness of the 
I'niversity. Congratulations are due to 
all those who saw the project to its com- 
pletion. 

BURTON SAMORS '48 



SIR: 

My writing is prompted by the receipt 
of the BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 
and a sudden resentment against its being 
only an organ for the alumni and not also 
for the alumnae as it used to be. More 
and more I have noticed this disregard 
of Pembroke. The only way a woman

(Circumstances and no"ungallant hand" 
are responsible for limiting the amount 
of news about Pembroke College and its 
alumnae. Even on the present generous 
basis of publication, this magazine cannot 
accommodate all the news and comments 
we would like to publish about Brown 
and Brown men. Since Pembroke pub- 
lishes an excellent News Letter for the 
alumnae, it seemed unwise to devote space 
to Pembroke which would mean further 
elimination of material about The College

► ► Refresher Courses 



► ► Did you tackle any of our recom- 
mended reading during the summerl These 
lists have been prepared for the ALUMNI 
MONTHLY by members of the Brown 
University Faculty in response to requests 

for them. The books are chosen in various 
fields where an alumnus would be apt to 
continue an interest in serious reading 
developed as an undergraduate. The works 
include current issues and standard books 
from other years, all of which may be pur- 
chased through the University Book Store. 
The John Hay Library reserves the books 
listed each month for further study. 

MATHEMATICS 

► What is Mathematics"! R. Courant and 
H. Robbin; Oxford University Press, 
1941. Expository introduction to sev- 
eral branches of mathematics. 

Men of Mathematics. Eric Temple Bell; 
Simon and Schuster, 1937. Biographical 
sketches of many great mathematicians 
of the past. 

Mathematical Snapshots. Hugo Steinhaus; 
G. E. Stechert &Co., 1938. Photographs, 
drawings, and folding models of many 
objects of geometrical interest. 

Introduction to Logic and the Methodology 
of Deductive Sciences. Alfred Tarski; 
Oxford University Press, 1941. A very 
lucid and readable introduction to con- 

15 



temporary mathematical logic, despite 
its formidable title. 
The Psychology of Invention in the Mathe- 
matical Field. Jaques Hadamard; 
Princeton University Press, 1945. An 
analysis of the process of mathematical 
discovery. •< 

PHILOSOPHY 

A rl and the Social Order. D . W. Gotshalk ; 
University of Chicago Press. A com- 
prehensive and clearly written state- 
ment of the nature of art, aesthetic 
experience, and the role of art in society. 
The best recent work in this field. 

Existentialism. Jean-Paul Sartre; Phili- 
sophical Library. A slim volume con- 
taining a popular lecture by Sartre on 
his much-discussed doctrine, and padded 
with notes of the discussion that fol- 
lowed its delivery. Sartre's remarks on 
Existentialism fail to do justice either 
to his view or to the ability he elsewhere 
manifests as a philosophical expositor. 
Nevertheless, this is the first publication 
in book form of Sartre's view in English. 

Man Against Myth. Barrows Dunham; 
Little, Brown & Co. An expertly 
written attack on some prevailing social 
superstitions. Some of Dunham's argu- 
ments are overly doctrinaire, but as a 
whole the volume is provocative and 
superior as popular philosophy. ^

BERT SHURTLEFF 
The Dog As Rajah 

► .AWOL, the popular and profitable 
Doberman pinscher created by Bertrand 
Shurtleff '22, has moved on into his third 
book, published last spring by Bobbs 
Merrill. ".Awol, the Rajah" is a suc- 
cessor to Awol: K-9 Commando" and 
"Awol .Musters Out." In the new yarn 
the dog accompanies George Stanhope, 
journalist, into India. Successful in a 
battle of pinscher versus panther, Awol 
is viewed by the natives as the reincar- 
nated spirit of their last rajah and ven- 
erated accordingly. But the dog is 
stolen by a fakir who seeks to capitalize 
on his status, and the exciting problem 
thereafter is to reunite Awol and his real 
master in the land of strange perils. ■^

Brown Clubs -^ 

> The first Ivy League Stag Picnic for 
the San Francisco area brought together 
representatives of the alumni clubs of the 
«ight colleges June 5. About 200 were 
on hand from Brown, Columbia, Cornell, 
Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, 
Princeton, and Yale for the festivities at 
San Anselmo in Marin County, a few 
miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. 
Sports included baseball, in which a com- 
bined Brown-Cornell team reached the 
semi-finals, tennis, golf, dominoes, and 
horseshoes. 

This first Ivy League alumni picnic for 
the area proved a congenial gathering 
which promoted good fellowship. The 
men made friendships which will prove 
-worthwhile in future. Ever>'one had 
such a good time that the vote in favor of 
■continuing the affair annually was unani- 
mous. Brunonians present included; 
William M. Bancroft '37, Saul Belilove 
""40, Byron Crosman '40, Dr. Charles B. 
David '36, Frank Rollins, Jr., '40, and 
Dudley A. Zinke '39. ■< 

^ Football will be in the spotlight at 
the dinner of the New York Brown Club 
planned for Oct. 27. Guests will be Paul 
F. Mackesey '32, Athletic Director, and 
Everett Morris of the Herald Tribune, 
■while a member of the coaching staff will 
•comment on films of early 1948 games. 
November's feature will be a Club Night 
with Edward Hanrahan, Chairman of the 
SEC, as speaker and Gerald Donovan 12 as 
toastmaster. 

The Brown Club year was under way in 
September when the Brunonians planned 
to compete in the College Club Golf 
League's 13th annual championship at 
Baltusrol on the 10th. On the 16th the 
Sub-Freshman Dinner revived an annual 



custom of the pre-war era. Invitations 
were sent to 125 sub-Freshmen from the 
metropolitan area. '^ 

Football Preview < m 

(Continued from page 9) 

► At Princeton Charlie Caldwell is being 
as quiet as ever and hopes to pull a few 
surprises when the Tigers open their sched- 
ule against Brown on Oct. 2 down in 
Nassauland. Such performers as George 
Sella, John Weber and Carl Leibert are 
still around, and the Tigers first unde- 
feated Freshman team since 1934 should 
provide some valuable material. 

The Rams from Rhode Island State are 
optimistic and hope to field their best 
team since before the war. Coach Bill Beck 
broke his back while skiing last winter 
and had to pass up spring practice, but he 
is once again ready to direct the club. 
Herb O'Rourke, a standout center, cap- 
tains the team, and Chuck Varney, a hard- 
running 185-pound Sophomore halfback, 
is a newcomer of whom much is expected. 
Bill Osmanski's return to Holy Cross 
was welcomed with cheers from the sup- 
porters of the Purple, but Bill himself 
admits that he can't accomplish any 
miracles in the first year. A native of 
Providence, Bill played seven years with 
the Chicago Bears where he learned the 
finer points of George Halas' version of the 
"T". The 32 Holy Cross lettermen, on 
the other hand, have used the single wing 
for the past three years, so the transition 
will not be easy. 

Since J. O. Christian of Connecticut 
lost only two lettermen, his squad should 
be stronger. Big 200-pound Bill Moll 
captains the team and rips into the oppos- 
ing line from the fullback position. Half- 
back Dick Guadino also bears watching. 
Rutgers presents another squad that is 
loaded with talent. Coach Harvey Harman 

26 



talks about the loss of Billy Vigii, a fine 
defensive halfback who specialized in pass 
interceptions, and the fact that he lacks 
depth in the quarterback position; but he 
still has one of the best elevens in the East. 
Put such men as Frank Burns, Herman 
Hering and Buddy Hatchett in any lineup, 
and it spells trouble for the opposition. 

► Not too much is known of Western 
Reserve L'niversity or its football team in 
this section of the country', but the contest 
Nov. 6 should be interesting nevertheless. 
The Red Cats from Cleveland, belong to 
the Mid-i'\merican Conference and play 
conference games against Western Michi- 
gan, Miami of Ohio, Butler, Ohio Univer- 
sity and Cincinnati. Mike Scarry, another 
first year coach, has mainly a Sophomore 
and Junior team and will use the "T" ex- 
clusively. Two Negro boys, Nate and 
Lennie Corbin, are the speedsters in the 
backfield. 

"East meets West" when Arthur Valpey 
introduces the Michigan style of play at 
Harvard this season. The Harvards 
should know the system fairly well by the 
time the Bears roll into Cambridge on 
Nov. 13, so Captain Norm lacuele and his 
mates may have trouble avenging last 
year's 13-7 upset defeat. Captain Ken 
O'Donnell, Chip Gannon, Hal Moffie and 
Jim Kenary are an accomplished backfield 
quartet. 

The season's finale on Thanksgiving 
Day brings another dangerous team to 
town. Coach Paul Bixler of Colgate has 
16 lettermen and numerous promising 
Sophomores to build his team around. 
Word from Hamilton a year ago was that 
the best game of the week was when the 
Freshman eleven scrimmaged the Varsity 
on Wednesday afternoons and often came 
out on top. Gone are Frank Muehlheiser 
and Glen Treichler, but Sophomores .'Man 
Egler and Armand Allaire may fill the gaps, 

So there it is - a look at the 1948 Brown 
football schedule. It should be about as 
unpredictable as the recent major league 
baseball pennant races. But you'll find 
Rip Engle, his assistants, and the players 
taking each game as it comes along, and 
Nov. 26 is the time to do the second guess- 
ing on just how successful the season was 
for the Brown and White. ^ 



ON THE FOOTBALL CARD 
► Rugged schedules for Junior 
Varsity and Freshman football 
teams at Brown have been an- 
nounced by Paul F. Mackesey, 
Athletic Director. The Jayvees 
appear as a road club against strong 
opposition, while the Freshmen 
also play a six-game season against 
six rivals from other colleges. 

Junior Varsity: Sept. 25 — -Yale 
at New Haven (12:30). Oct. 8— 
Army at West Point. Oct. 15^ 
Tufts at Medford. Oct. 22— Boston 
University, site to be determined. 
Oct. 29 — Rhode Island at Kingston. 
Nov. 12 — Harvard at Cambridge. 
Freshmen: Oct. 16 — -Rhode Is- 
land at Providence. Oct. 23 — New 
Hampshire at Durham. Oct. 30 — 
Boston College at Providence. Nov. 
6 — Yale at New Haven. Nov. 13 — 
Harvard at Cambridge. Nov. 20 — 
Holy Cross at Providence. ■^
