Small Talk 

► ► We've won a prize, and we're 
pleased as Punch. (Don't ask us why 
Punch was pleased and how much.) The 
prize came in a citation from the American 
Alumni Council in its annual competition 
for alumni magazines throughout the coun- 
try and Canada. The Brown Alumni 
Monthly received its Certificate of Merit 
"for its constantly diverting and amusing 
column Small Talk." Now we're self- 
conscious and will probably prove as flat as 
flapjacks. 

William Bentinck-Smith of Harvard, re- 
porting for the judges in the competition, 
also said: "Perhaps the best single news 
story of the year was the Brown Alumni 
Monthly's account of fraternity troubles" 
(our "Black Friday" story in the April 
issue). Again, too, we had an honorable 
mention for the quality of our alumni news 
(club and association activities and class 
personals). Our department, Brunonians 
Far and Near has had such commendation 
on several occasions in the past, beginning 
in the period when Alfred H. Gurney '07 
so ably edited it. For this bit of praise from 
the AAC we share satisfaction with all the 
Brown Club correspondents and Class Sec- 
retaries who have so faithfully contributed. 

^ The Athletic Office couldn't do anything 
but send a good ticket to the Pawtucket 
man who wrote in this vein for a Holy 
Cross game seat: "I suppose that since I 
am not an alumnus of Brown University 
that I will be put in a what-the-heck cate- 
gory of seat-placing. However, I trust that 
since I have applied rather early for a 
ticket, you will do the handsome thing by 
me between the forties about three quarters 
up. If you do right by me I personally 
promise to lose an ulcer rooting for 
Brown." 

^ We suspect the Flanders family has 
established something of an intercollegiate 
record, for Cyrus G. Flanders '18, inde- 
fatigable Secretary of the Hartford Brown 
Club, has four sons who are undergrad- 
uates at Brown in the same academic year. 
The newest is John '53, and Sam and 
Urban are 1950, while Glenn (Cyrus G., 
Jr.) was originally 1949 but now 1951 
after two years of the military. A brother 
was Kenneth, 1917, a nephew was Fred, 
1949, a daughter Nancy was at Pem- 
broke (1951) until she was married. 

The comment, not original with us, is 
appropriate just the same: "In Poppy's 
field the Flanders grow." 

► A lively part of the daily routine of the 
Alumni Office of every American college is 
the pursuit of those who have moved with- 
out remembering to notify the college. We 
of the Alumni Monthly are particularly 
grateful to the Alumni Office staff for 
keeping us posted as to the whereabouts of 
our Brown men so that the magazine may 




reach them all. We had a particular in- 
terest, then, in reading the report of Rad- 
cliffe's alumnae secretary who told of her 
efforts in tracing alumnae temporarily lost. 
.And we suspected her problem, without 
having an exact parallel, when we read 
that one Radcliffe alumna "who, so the 
police say, disappeared over the Canadian 
border with a shot-gun, and to date has not 
returned. " 

► The technique of welcome to the incom- 
ing Freshman Class improves each year at 
Brown, and the BCA does a fine job. Some 
of the parents were so interested, in fact, 
that they lined up on the opposite side of 
Waterman Street watching the welcoming 
committee greet the newcomers outside 
Faunce House. One alumnus of another 
Ivy League college went so far as to com- 
ment on the reception his Freshman son 
was receiving at Brown. "In my day, " he 
said, "it was a far cry from this. The only 
welcome we had was from the Sophomores, 
who hazed us and did all they could to 
discourage us from entering school. " 

^ Gordon Kester of the Providence Jour- 
nal, remarking the vast simplification of 
the registration process at Brown nowa- 
days and identifying "a successful Fresh- 
man Week" this fall, told of a worrisome 
hazard: 

"A Freshman who had just signed his 
name on something for the 12th time that 
day turned away from the desk he had been 
writing on and walked unflinchingly into 
the wall. An observer might have dismissed 
that as an accident — over exposure to an 



eye-chart earlier in the week, perhaps — 
if a short time later another bemused 
Freshman had not turned from the same 
desk and smacked against the wall at 
almost the same spot. The University took 
action then to avert what might have re- 
sulted in a crop of flat-nosed Freshmen. 
Reported William A. Jewett, University 
Recorder and the man responsible for the 
smoothly efficient registration of students: 
We moved the desk two feet to the right 
so that Freshmen turning away from it 
would be aimed at the door. 

An upperclassman on hand for Fresh- 
man Week had a malicious sense of humor. 
Straight-faced, he pushed an official-look- 
ing paper toward a Freshman and had him 
sign his name 15 times. Then he told the 
new boy to open his mouth and say, "Ah." 
Well, wouldn't you do it, too, if you were 
a Freshman? 

^ Many of the anniversary Classes have 
already made a start on reunion plans for 
next June, and a popular device in the 
preliminary stages is to send out a question- 
naire. One which is certain to produce 
amusement as well as information is H. D. 
Chafee's for the Class of 1940, which is 
even so obliging as to provide excuses for 
anyone who won't come. Samples: "Have 
other system for escaping wife. Can't 
escape wife... (Won't attend campus 
dance because) don't dance; allergic to 
grass; too old . . . (Won't attend .All-.Alum- 
ni Dinner because) can't decide between 
fish and meat . . . It's not the cost — it's 
the morning after . . . Will attend in 1960." 
But 1950 will offer good arguments for 
being on hand, too. 

^ The intra-squad scrimmage, which was 
staged this fall for the press and Brown 
Club members, was labelled the "ideal 
football game " in many respects. First, 
Brown couldn't lose. Second, the referee 
and other officials were all loyal alumni as 
well as competent workers. And finally, 
everyone who attended could sit on the 
50-yard line. 

In the latter connection, .Athletic Direc- 
tor Paul Mackesey had a chuckle because, 
with the whole stadium to sit in, the spec-

A Fresh Perspective on the Quadrangle 




^ y Look at that great pit if you haven't already 
done so and can. Then you will be your own best re- 
porter on the scope of the Quadrangle at Brown. Then 
this story, tame and inadequate, will be unnecessary and 
you the wiser and prouder. 

If you've walked along Thayer Street in Providence 
between George and Benevolent lately, you won't be 
impressed by anything we write here. You'll remember 
instead that deep, vast excavation, that large and busy 
scene where the Refectory will rise in the corner of 
the Quadrangle. (You have to make yourself remember, 
perhaps, that it is only a corner, for even that seems 
tremendous projected against the dimensions of the 
present Brown.) 

If you have looked, you know — probably for the first 
time, too — just what the scale of Brown's planning for 
the future has been. 

As for us, passing it during the summer weeks, we were 
awed and a little unbelieving. We'd lived, so many of 
us, for so long now with this Quadrangle notion that we'd 
lost our perspective on it. We'd let little gadgetty things, 
like the moat, distract us out of all proportion to their 
unimportance; time had obscined or dulled the familiar 
but fundamental idea. More than old buildings have been 
cleared away to give the vista. Now we appreciate proudly 



"TO HELP THE MIND make measurement." A corner 
of the Quadrangle, site of the Refectory, looking north- 
west from the corner of Thayer and Benevolent Sts., 
where the Brown Bear Shop and Savoy Market once 
stood. In the background, on George St., St. Stephen's 
Church and Hegeman Hall. (Photo Lab photo, as is also 
the cover picture.) 

how magnificent this is that Brown has in the making. 

Maybe you haven't yet looked across that deep, wide 
corner. There arc some yardsticks in "The Report on 
Plans and Progress" distributed this fall by the Housing 
and Development Fund; they help your mind make some 
measurements. There are maps and pictures of what 
has been and what is to be, a photo from the air, and the 
architect's envisioning. They show graphically how- the 
new Quadrangle looms over the area, more than half as 
extensive as the whole older campus between Waterman 
and George between the top of College Hill and Thayer 
Street, which was so many years in the consolidating and 
building. The sketches also suggest the size and quality of 
the nine new dormitory buildings which will join the 
Refectory on the Quadrangle site. They make you rea- 
lize the impatience of those who wanted to get on with 
this during the period of negotiation, land-acquisition, 
devising, and first financing. Now, you, too, become eager. 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 




AS THE 186th ACADEMIC YEAR began at Brown: 
President Wriston with V. S. Anibassador-at-large 
Philip C. Jessup. The latter was Convention speaker and 
recipient of an honorary LL.D. 

^ But, as we say, the best eye-opener on this whole busi- 
ness remains a quick look at where the work has started. 
If you haven't seen it, come back to the Hill, stroll around 
the two blocks which are being united into one, and sec 
for yourself. See where houses and stores have been 
moved or razed. See the cement going into the founda- 
tions, with all the detailed bustle of a sprawling construc- 
tion job. And then let your imagination project this one 
corner against the rest of the section. You begin to see 
why the dollars involved are so many; you begin to sense 
in new dimensions what is yours for the giving. 

It is no small community which will house 750 college 
men. It is no small lunchroom which will cater to 1640 
of them in its main hall, let alone 17 perimeter dining 
rooms for fraternity men and a basement cafeteria for 
200. As you think of this on the spot, any comparison 
to a medieval castle seems sadly inept. 

First public descriptions of the Quadrangle from defin- 
itive plans were given late in August by President Wriston 
and the architect, Thomas Mott Shaw of Perry, Shaw & 
Hepburn. Dominant in the scheme, partly because it 
is the first under construction, is the $2,000,000 Refectory. 
But nine other large buildings will follow, a series of 
simple red brick Georgian-style structures in the tradition 
of the 1770 University Hall, original College Edifice. In 
the latter buildings will be 17 fraternity units, attached to 
the dormitories for Freshmen and other non-fraternity 
men, but each will be distinctive as the result of individual 
treatment of entrances, bay windows, and ornamentation. 
Even the ground plan of each building is different, pro- 
viding a variety of shapes. Step-down levels on the sloping 
site will add to that variation. 

Each fraternity will have a large living room, a chapter 
room for meetings on the top floor, and generous general 
recreation space in the basements in addition to privacy 
for study and sleep on the other floors. Non-fraternity 
men will also have central living rooms or lounges and 
recreation areas. 

^ While each unit is independent in actual operation, 
a novel feature provides flexibility which will permit 
allocation to each fraternity the dormitory space it re- 
quires for the number of members on the chapter roster 
in a given year. The secret of this provision is a device 
which William Avirett, Education Editor of the New 
York Herald Tribune, has admiringly called "the Wriston 



wrinkle," for the President conceived it. The key to it 
is a portable door which can shut off the upstairs corridors 
at any point to enlarge or reduce the space which a frater- 
nity may request. It is a scheme to provide desired space 
without waste, to provide it one year without leaving 
it idle in another as chapter statistics vary. As the Uni- 
versity news release pointed out, Brown will rent each 
chapter as much space as it needs for the number of men 
in the active chapter but do away with the bugaboo of 
empty rooms and continued high overhead in any period 
of smaller delegations initiated. All rooms will be occu- 
pied, for studies show that more than 70% of Brown's 
student body is likely to want dormitory accommodation 
on campus. But, while the doors will be adequate in 
making for privacy of one unit from the other, they may 
be moved so as to include extra rooms in one unit or the 
other as the requirements dictate. 

The builders will use the speedy, economical concrete 
slab method of construction which has been employed 
successfully on several other college campuses, casting 
walls in mass production and then dropping them into 
place by crane. 

^ The angle which seemed to capture the fancy of news 
editors more than any other was the suggestion of a dry 
moat four feet deep around the Quadrangle. Protection 
is the purpose, protection from petty thieves who have 
invaded dormitories in the past, at Brown and elsewhere. 
Outside the moat will be a six-foot iron fence, and any 
thief who climbed this would face a 10-foot drop to the 
bottom of the moat, from where he would be unable to 
reach first-floor windows of the buildings. As at Yale, 
which President Wriston says solved its petty theft prob- 
lem in similar fashion, there will be porters at the gate- 
hou.ses. There will be protection, but access for the 
entitled and the invited. 

Seems to us we've had iron fences around the campus 
before this, thanks to the classes which have given sections 
through the years. We don't recollect any feeling of 
incarceration as the result, nor any resentment because 
we went in through Van Wickle Gates or the Memorial 
.^rch. We like the idea of discouraging the prowler who 
is tempted by ground-level windows. 




"WALKING HOI SES" helped clear the Quadrangle 
site. Here is Prof. Hasting's home on its way across 
Benevolent St. to a new location further south. Others 
included houses of Dean Kenny and JCB Librarian 
Wroth. 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 




AS ARCHITECTS ENVISION the Brown Quadrangle. 
Upper left is the Refectory for which the foundations 
are going in. (See photo on page 3.) 



But a "moat," of course, had some connection with 
drawbridges, swans, and postcard chateaux. In conse- 
quence of this feat of association, Brown men have had 
to bear with witty variations on the theme of flowering 
knighthood. ( We don't believe the Timequote from a 
"stalwart Greek-letter man" who "moaned" : "The moat 
is just a grave — Wriston dug it for the frats." In the 
first place, no Greek-letter man would call them frats.) 
And Brown is improving the quality of its residence for 
all its students, not just for the "frats" alone. 

The irrevelancics, however seductive, are small beside 
the great undertaking. Andrews Hall at Pembroke has 
seen two years of good use, and Whitehall, the classroom 
building, three. Now the final phase, most ambitious of 
all in the $10,000,000 reckoning, has begun. Look at the 
beginning; take part in the finishing. For what Brown 
is digging and building is for a student body that warrants 
good quarters on College Hill. 

► As THE SUMMER REPORT of the Housing Campaign 
notes, "the Quadrangle will be the largest single addition 
to the University plant in its history, and perhaps the most 
extensive development undertaken by private auspices 
in the City of Providence. When the project is completed, 
the College will house approximately 1300 men in per- 
manent facilities (dormitories and fraternity houses) 
and will have additional temporan,^ space which can be 
used as the need arises. All resident students will be 
accommodated in the new dining hall, together with as 
many commuting students as care to use it. Town and 
gown alike will benefit. A better ordered, completely in- 



tegrated and wholly attractive college development will 
be welcomed by our neighbors. The intellectual and social 
life of our students will flourish in an improved atmos- 
phere." 

The University thus far has received more than four 
millions in gifts and arranged a loan of one million. 
Andrews Hall, Whitehall, the land for the Quadrangle, 
and other expenses have been met, and Brown has a 
balance of $2,000,000. The Quadrangle project will cost 
$7,800,000, of which $800,000 has alreadv been spent. 
With $2,000,000 in hand, $3,000,000 to be borrowed, and 
$2,000,000 to be raised, the job will be completed. 

Proudly the Student Housing Board points to the 
milestones of last year: 1. All needed property was ac- 
quired or committed. 2. Benevolent Street was closed in 
the strategic block. 3. Construction started. 4. The site 
for the housing units is being cleared. 5. Brunonians dem- 
onstrated their faith in their College and its future by 
raising contributions to the impressive sum of $4,120,000. 

In new regions of alumni concentration the Campaign 
is making its first appeal this fall, with knowledge of two 
main targets for 1949-50: first, to obtain another 
$1,300,000 to qualify for Mr. Rockefeller's third (con- 
ditional) gift of approximately $400,000; and second, 
to commence construction of the housing units in the 
year ahead. They are headed "for an .American college 
record in loyal participation, for as the Campaign pro- 
gresses the number giving exceeds So^c of the alumni 
group reported." 

The Report concluded on this confident note: "We 
have every reason to hope that thousands of friends of 
the University will lend their help in this dramatic de- 
velopment of a sound educational influence which will 
serve the country in the critical years to come." ^

COACH ENGLE 



^^KICKOFF, 1949" was n radio preview of Brown 
University football, with appropriate reference to 
the past, prompted by the reunion of the famous 
iron Men of 1926. But the principal vieiv was for- 
ward to the games immediately at stake as an op- 
timistic Bear went to work. (Even more optintistic 
supporters had cooked up the slogan "/Vjmp for 
nine in '49," a large order in vieiv of the opposition 
flown the line.) The broadcast brought to the tnic- 
rophone the Brown co-captains, the head coach. 
Football Official Bill Halloran, who commented on 
rule changes. We publish herewith the full text 
of the program as written by James .4. Cunningham 
'41 and Letcis Shaw "48, Director of Athletic Pub- 
licity, and broadcast over several Netv England 
stations the week of the first game. 

SOUND: BLAST OF REFEREE'S WHISTLE. 

CUNNINGHAM: It's kickofT time, 1949! The 
Brown University football network brings you a radio 
preview of the 64th season of organized football at the 
seventh oldest college in the country, located here in 
historic Providence, Rhode Island. To set the stage for 
our look at the future, and to get things under way, here 
is Professor Martin Fischer and the 65 piece Brown 
University band with a song we will be hearing many 
times this fall : "WE ARE EVER TRUE TO BROWN," 
written by Donald Jackson of the Class of 1909. 

MUSIC: ONE MINUTE. 

CUNNINGHAM : Before we pick up our cr\'stal ball 
and gaze into the happenings of the next nine important 
weekends in Brown football, let's pause a minute and 
move back through time to the close of the 1926 football 
season. That was the year that an unheralded Brown 
team plowed through some of the best opposition in the 
countr)', piling up an impressive record of nine wins and 
one tie, to emerge as the first and only undefeated team 
in Brown history. Sports fans were quick to tag the 
stalwarts who turned this trick with the title that has come 
down through the years: THE IRON MEN. This week- 
end, these same eleven men who played together through 
the entire 1926 season, will get together on the campus 
for a reunion that is timed to provide spiritual back- 
ing for the 1949 edition of Brown football that will take 
the field against Holy Cross at 2 p.m. Saturday. 



Tonight we have with us Dr. Orland Smith of Provi- 
dence, who was a member of that same Iron Man Team, 
and who was picked by Grantland Rice for his annual 
.■\11-American choice at the guard position. 

Dr. Smith, I imagine you are looking forward to this 
reunion with your teammates this weekend . . . Has the 
team ever gotten together as a unit since your college 
days? 

SMITH: Yes, they got together in the spring of 1946, 
at which time I was with the Navy in Japan and was 
the only member absent. I almost had tran.sportation 
by the Navy to get back to the reunion, but there was one 
little difficulty: the ship that I was to go on had sailed 
from Japan the day before they had decided to line up 
transportation to bring me home. 

CUNNINGHAM : Doctor, would you mind telling us 
a little bit about the games in which you played without 
substitution that year? 

SMITH: We played in two games that year without 
substitution. One was in the Yale game, which we won, 
7 to 0, and the following week we played against Dart- 
mouth and won 10 to 0, also without substitution. The 
entire 60 minutes was played by just eleven men and 
somehow or other we just never seemed to get tired. 

CUNNINGHAM: I might also point out here that 
these eleven men were in for 57 minutes of the Harvard 
game without a nod from the bench, and the team piled 
up a 21 to margin that day . . . Doctor, do you think 
that Coach Tus McLaughry was aware at the time that 
by not substituting for you he was helping to establish a 
record that would stand like yours has? 

SMITH: No, I don't believe so. I think that it was 
entirely accidental. We seemed to play from one minute 
to the next. I know that in the Yale game, substitutions 
had been intended just a few minutes after the kickoff, 
but we got rolling so well that the minutes just kept going 
and pretty soon the game was over. 

CUNNINGHAM: I see. One question that is de- 
bated in football hot stove leagues throughout the country 
ev-ery year, and will probably never be settled to every- 
one's satisfaction, is the comparison of football through 
the years . . . Doctor, what do you regard as the biggest 
difference between college football teams of today as 
compared with teams of 23 years ago? 

SMITH: I think the big difiference now is this fre- 
cjuent substitution. I think it is much better for a team to 
be able to send in replacements at any time during the 
game. I also like the idea of an ofifensive and defensive 
team — or the so-called two platoon system. It gives the 
men a chance to get rested; to iron out any little bruises 
they might have, and it makes them much more efficient 
when it is their turn to go back into the game. 

CUNNINGHAM: In other words, you don't think 
that frequent substitutions have placed the game in the 
hands of the coaches entirely, as some critics have said. 

SMITH: No, I don't think so. I look at this game 
now from purely a spectator's point of view, and I don't 
believe that I could run the length of the field without 
collapsing completely. At the same time, I do enjoy going 
out to see the game and I think the spectator has quite 
a lot to say about how popular college football will be 
in the future.

reunion story, see page 15. 



CUNNINGHAM: Thanks a lot, Dr. Smith, for an 
All-American performance. We hope that you and 
your teammates will not only have a good time together 
this weekend, but that you will be out there at Brown 
Stadium Saturday watching Brown rack up its first 
win of the season against the Crusaders of Holy Cross. 

One of the colorful sidelights of every game this fall 
will be the appearance of some 70 pounds of Brown 
dynamite in the form of Butch Bruno, tenth in a long 
line of Bruin mascots. As a salute to Butch Bruno X. 
Professor Fischer and the Brown band plav, appropriately 
enough, "BRUNO," written by Albert G.' Chaffee of the 
Class of 1902. 

MUSIC: BRUNO. TIME: TWO MINUTES. 
THIRTY SECONDS. 

CUNNINGHAM: For the second time in Brown 
football history, the eleven this year will be captained 
by two men. The last time this happened was in 1940. 
when Lou Duesing and the late Bronislaw Stepczyk 
shared the honor. John Scott, of \\'est Orange, New 



Jersey, and Joe Paterno, of Brooklyn, New York, are this 
year's choices. 

Although his football duties are confined to holding 
down the position at center, John Scott is really a triple- 
threat man in his own right. He is co-captain of this 
year's football team, president of his class, and a member 
of Phi Beta Kappa. John, confidentially, how do you do 
it ? Personally, I would be satisfied with any one of those 
three honors. 

SCOTT : You rather have me on a spot here ... I don't 
know just how to answer that question ... I have an 
interest in all of these activities, and it is pretty hard 
for me to explain exactly how I get things done. 

CUNNINGHAM: What do you do, give time to 
each according to the season of the year? 

SCOTT: Well, I guess that is just about how it has 
to be done. 

CUNNINGHAM: OK, thanks John ... The other 
half of this combination is Joe Paterno, older of the two 
Paternos who will be active in Brown football this vear 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



. . . Joe, aren't there quite a few boys from your alma 
mater, Brooklyn Preparatory School, on the squad this 
fall? 

PATERNO : There are four of them on the squad 
this year: Bucky Walters, our left tackle, Frank Mahoney, 
our right end, my brother George and myself. 

CUNNINGHAM: Aren't all these boys regulars? 

PATERNO: Well, we hope so. 

CUNNINGHAM : What do they feed you down in 
Brooklyn to bring you along that way? 

PATERNO: As for my brother and myself, plenty 
of spaghetti. For the others it must be corned beef and 
hash ! 

CUNNINGHAM : This is one question where we will 
get two right answers, but how does the Brown team 
shape up this fall, from what you have seen of it? . . . 
John? 

SCOTT: I think this is our best team since I have 
been here, and I think that with the hustle and ability 
of the squad we ought to go a long way this year. 

CUNNINGHAM: Joe, what about your opinion? 

PATERNO: Well, I will go along pretty much with 
what John says. This is the best club I have ever played 
on since I have been up here. I think that if Walt Pastus- 
zak and I can take care of Eddie Finn's spot, we will be 
all set. 

CUNNINGHAM : Thanks very much boys. We know 
that Brown men everywhere will join me in wishing you 
"Best of luck." The Brown band now joins in on the 
good wishes with "BRUNONIA'S BANNERS," or as it 
is known officially: "The Brown Cheering Song," written 
by R. B. Jones of the Class of 1907. 

MUSIC: TIME: ONE MINUTE, FIFTEEN 
SECONDS. 

CUNNINGHAM: There is always something new 
under the sun in football and this year is no exception. 
One of the most important points of the game is the 
rules under which it is played, and to bring you up-to-date 
on the most important of the rule changes for 1949, here 
is William T. Halloran, nationally-known referee and 
President of the Providence Gridiron Club, who this past 
weekend handled the Penn State-Villanova game down 
in Pennsylvania . . . Bill, from the spectator's standpoint, 
what do you think will be some of the most noticeable 
changes in the game this year? 

HALLORAN : There are perhaps five major changes, 
so let's take them in order starting with the substitution 
rule. The rule that permitted one substitute to enter the 
game while the game clock was running or during the 
25-second count has now been eliminated. Under the 
new regulations, legal substitutions are basically restricted 
to time-out intervals: that is, after incompleted passes, 
balls out of bounds, and so forth. 

Another change provides that when Team B is awarded 
a first down (basically when the ball changes hands) a 
time out shall be declared and unlimited substitutions 
by both teams are permitted. When a coach sends a 
substitute into the game while time is in or after the 
ball is ready for play, with time in or out, his team will 
incur a penalty of five yards. The old rule charging a 
time out to a team for some violation of the substitution 
rule is now eliminated. One and the same penalty for 
such violations is now being enforced — loss of 5 yards. 

Another important change is that a kick from scrim- 
mage or a returned kick no longer becomes an automatic 
touchback when it crosses the receiving team's goal line. 
A player of the receiving team may catch or recover 
such a kick in the end zone and advance it. If, however,

the ball is declared dead in possession of the receiving 
team in the end zone, or the ball goes out of bounds in 
the end zone, a touchback shall be declared. 

Perhaps the fourth major change is this: A backward 
pass or fumble, which goes out of bounds between the goal 
lines belongs to the passing or fumbling team in the out- 
of-bounds spot. This eliminates the rule which gave such 
a fumble or backward pass to the team whose player last 
touched it before it went out of bounds. I think that we 
will see fewer injuries to players as a result. 

CUNNINGHAM: Bill, very briefly, can you out- 
line some of the other changes for this fall? 

HALLORAN: Perhaps the most radical one has to 
do with the forward pass. Now there are only two ways a 
legal forward pass can become incomplete. First, by 
striking the ground inbounds or by going out of bounds. 
If a forward pass touches an ineligible receiver, or a second 
originally eligible receiver the ball now continues in play. 
When a forward pass touches one eligible receiver and 
is then caught by a second eligible receiver, the pass is 
complete and may be advanced. This is a new innovation. 
It is also a definite shift from the former rule which 
specified that such a pass would be ruled as incomplete. 

CUNNINGHAM : This forward passing question has 
some other new rules too, doesn't it Bill? 

HALLORAN: Yes. This year there is a new penalty 
prescribed for intentionally grounding a forward pass or 
intentionally throwing a forward pass to an ineligible 
receiver. The penalty now is : loss of 5 yards and a down, 
enforced from the spot of the foul : that is, the spot from 
where the ball was thrown. 

The most radical change in forward passing is one that 
pertains to the quarterback. A player who is in position to 
take a hand-to-hand snap from the center is always 



8 



ineligible as a receiver of a forward pass. This rule, so 
controversial in the past, now means that a back who 
is in position to take a hand-to-hand snap is ineligible. 
The administration of this rule will be a judgment ruling 
at times, of course. 

CUNNINGHAM: Bill, what do you think the net 
result of all these rule changes is going to be in terms 
of the kind of game the spectator is going to see this fall? 

HALLORAN : Well, I think the game is going to be 
more wide open than it has been before, and will probably 
result in greater scores. That's already been proven in 
the few games played since the beginning of the season. 

CUNNINGHAM: Thank you Bill Halloran, for your 
interesting and informative discussion of the 1949 rules. 
I know that your reinarks will make it easier for the 
spectators to appreciate some of the finer points of the 
game. 

As a tribute to Brown's first opponent on the nine- 
game schedule this fall, here is a salute to the Crusaders 
from Worcester, a medley of Holy Cross songs arranged 
by Professor Fischer and played by the Brown University 
band: 

MUSIC: TIME: THREE MINUTES. 

CUNNINGHAM : Our final guest on KickofT, 1949, is 
the head man of Brown's football fortunes. Coach Charles 
A. (Rip) Engle . . . Rip, now that your pre-season practice 
is at an end, what is your up-to-date appraisal of the 1949 
squad? 

ENGLE : Well Jim, I think we are going to have a 
pretty good football team — at least I hope so. Our 
passing is going along pretty well; our team spirit is 
good, and we have hopes of having a good year — at least 
all the boys are working at it. We have not picked up 
any new material. I don't know how many sophomores are 
going to give us any help, but at the present time very- 
little, which leaves us with just the boys we had last year, 
minus 1 1 lettermen from last year's squad. Materially, 
we are not going to be any better. 

CUNNINGHAM: Can you give us an idea of what 
your starting lineup will be for Saturday's game? 

ENGLE : Well, we are trying to more or less use the 
two-platoon system, and if not in offense and defense 
platoons, we will do it by quarters. At left end we will 
have Altieri and Searles, probably Searles will start. 
At left tackle will be Walters and he will probably stand 
up cjuite a bit of the game. At left guard will be Hodosh, 
and with him will be Hutchinson and Pietro. At center 
will be Scott and Kiely on offense and Br^son will play 
there on defense. At right guard we have Chernack on 
the offense mostly and De Simonc on defense. At right 
tackle will be Colo and Hill alternating there and at 
right end will be Mahoney and Powers. 

The backfield will be Kozak and Young at left half 
and Green and George Paterno at fullback. Joe Paterno 
and Pastuszak will be at the C back, or quarterback posi- 
tion, and at right halfback will be Nelson and Rodewig. 

CUNNINGHAM: Rip, I know you are thinking 
strictly in terms of this Saturday's game with Holy Cross. 
You saw the Crusaders against Georgetown last week; 
what do vou think thev \\ill do this Saturdav at Brown 
Field? 

ENGLE: Well, I am very much concerned about the 
team and Saturday's game. I don't think we w-ill be in 
quite as good condition as I had hoped we would be. 
Our trip to Dartmouth seemed to bring out a lot of colds

and sickness, and with Holy Cross having a game under 
its belt, I think it is going to be a very tough afternoon. 
They played a great game up there for 20 minutes. In 
fact, their game last Saturday with Georgetown resembled 
our Harvard game last year. I believe that if they play 
as they did in the first quarter, we are going to have 
as much or more than we can handle. They looked like 
a great football team in the first quarter and if they are 
as tough as we were after our Harvard game last year, 
it can be a very rough afternoon, but we are going into 
it hoping for the best and we are going to do our very- 
best to try to win. 

CUNNINGHAM : Thanks a lot Rip Engle for giving 
us a first-hand report on the 1949 Brown team. We all 
hope that this will be your most successful season. 

One of the oldest sports traditions at Brown University 
is the ringing of the 116 year old bell on top of the original

Appleget, V. P. M 




A TRUSTEE returns 
to head up Public 
Relations work at 
Brown. 



^ ^ Thomas B. Appleget '17, Trustee of Brown Uni- 
versity and one-time Executive Secretary and assistant 
to President Faunce, returned to College Hill in October 
as Vice-President in charge of public relations. He has 
been for the past 20 years Vice-President of the Rocke- 
feller Foundation in New York. His new post follows 
life-long activity on behalf of Brown, as worker for many 
University causes, popular speaker at many alumni affairs, 
and member of the Advisory and Executive Committee. 

Missing from the official news release from the campus 
was a definition of the duties which will be his. How- 
ever, President Wriston told the Providence journal over 
the phone from New York that Mr. Appleget's responsi- 
bilities will probably include "liaison work between the 
present Brown News Bureau and the President's office 
and liaison work in dealing with fund-raising activities 
for the school." He will also participate to some extent 
in alumni affairs. Dr. Wriston said there is no hard and 
fast organizational chart for administrative personnel at 
the University. 

Alumni will welcome the return of this able and agree- 
able graduate to the official family at Brown; he has a 
wide circle of friendship among Brunonians as well as 
wide acquaintanceship with national leaders in various 
fields. Unconfirmed intimation was that Mr. Appleget 
would resign his membership in the Brown Corporation 
as a life member of the Board of Trustees and the A. and 
E. Committee. 

As Vice-President of the Rockefeller Foundation in 
New York, Mr. Appleget has had general charge of 
the Foundation's grant-in-aid and fellowship programs, of 
several of its departments, and of relationships with its 
London and Paris offices. He was for several years 
director of the Foundation's China program and also 
organized and administered its program for refugee Euro- 
pean scholars between 1940 and 1945. 

A native of Hightstown, N. J., Mr. Appleget became 
Executive Secretary of Brown immediately after gradu- 
ating from the University with a Ph.B. degree in 1917. 
After spending the year 1918 in the Army infantry, he 
served the University until 1925, also handling the posi- 



tion of assistant to President Faunce during the last year. 
His responsibilities included admission of students, the 
Alumni Fund and other campaigns for funds, alumni 
relationships, placement work for Senior students, and 
assistance to the President in other administrative matters. 

In 1925 he resigned his post at Brown to become execu- 
tive secretary to John D. Rockefeller, Jr., '97 in New York, 
a position he held until 1929 when he was appointed 
Vice-President of the Rockefeller Foundation. In the 
meantime, his association with Brown continued. 

An Alumni Trustee of Brown between 1928 and 1934, 
Mr. Appleget was elected a life Trustee in 1936, and a 
member of the University's Advisory and Executive Com- 
mittee in 1938. He is a member of several of Brown's 
committees and was recently named to the Student Hous- 
ing Board, becoming chairman of the building committee 
on the new refector\'. For several years in New York he 
served as a Trustee of the Alumni Fund, and has been 
a member of the Board of Governors of the New York 
Brown Club for some time. For a few years, too, he 
served as a member of the visiting committee to the Brown 
English department. 

Also in New York he has been a trustee of the Davidson 
Fund and of Community Surveys, Inc., and just after 
World War II headed several committees of the New 
York National War Fund. 

As an undergraduate at Brown, Appleget was a James 
Manning, Francis Wayland and Gaston Scholar, and a 
winner of a Carpenter Premium. Excellent scholastic 
standing won him membership in Phi Beta Kappa, the 
national honor society, in his junior year, and in his final 
year he was chosen Commencement speaker. 

Despite having to work part of his way through col- 
lege, he took very active roles in undergraduate affairs, 
belonging to the student governing body, the Cammarian 
Club; and heading the Athletic Board and the Brown 
Christian Association. A member of Delta Phi fraternity, 
he was also associate editor of the Brown Daily Herald, 
and editor of The Brunonian. He graduated summa cum 
laude with honors in English, and took graduate studies 
at both Brown and Cornell. 

Mr. Appleget is editor of Brown University in the War, 
published in 1919, and co-editor with Prof. William T. 
Hastings '04 of Songs of Brown University, published 
in 1928. In 1937 he aLso edited the volume John David- 
son Rockefeller, 1839-1937. 

A member of the Century Club, the Providence Art 
Club and the Round Hill Club, he was married in 1940 
to Sara Elizabeth Love. They have since made their 
home in Greenwich, Conn. His step-son was a 1949 
graduate of Brown. ^ 

Connecticut's Chief Justice 

^ L^PON THE RETIREMENT of Chief Justice William M. 
Maltbie on his 70th birthday, March 10, Allyn L. Brown 
'05, Brown Trustee, will become Chief Justice of the 
Supreme Court of Errors of the State of Connecticut. 
Judge Brown has completed 28 years on the bench, having 
begun his term of service as a Judge of the Superior Court 
in the fall of 1921. He was elevated to the Supreme bench 
as Associate Justice in Januar\'. 1936. 

He is a former Mayor of his home town, Norwich, and 
scned one teiTn as State Senator. He has been on the 
Brown Corporation as a Trustee since 1930, elected on 
the 25th anniversary of his graduation. ^

Uncle Sam at Brown < 

(Reprinted from the Christian Science Monitor) 

^ ^ Brown University, founded on the classical tra- 
dition featuring Greek and Latin, today is the site of 
approximately $1,000,000 worth of federal research proj- 
ects. This is not to imply that the basic academic objec- 
tives of the university have been swerved by the influx 
of federal funds. As a matter of fact, army, navy, air 
force, and other government contracts comprise a very 
small portion of the Brown University budget. 

But Brown, like hundreds of larger and smaller uni- 
versities across the United States, is adjusting itself to 
doing business regularly with Uncle Sam. Research proj- 
ects on campus financed in whole or in part by the 
government range from study of high-speed aerodynamics 
to investigation of the structure of molecules and crystals, 
navigation, and applied mathematics. 

Some of the work is classified, or secret. These are the 
studies which involve military weapons or information. 
This activity goes on behind locked doors. Most of the 
research, however, is not of the cloak-and-dagger variety. 
The majority of projects involve study of fundamental

fields and results are usually published for all to see in 
keeping with Brown research policy. 

As is the case in virtually all of the universities with 
sponsored research, government agencies provide the 
greatest number of assignments. At Brown, the $977,839 
in government contracts currently in operation can be 
compared with the $99,233 provided by private founda- 
tions and the $38,558 by industrial concerns. These figures 
include contracts which are due to run for three years or 
so, as well as those which are expected to be renewed or 
expanded. 

► Government research is seen by university officials 
as only supplementing the strong natural science program 
already in existence before the government began spend- 
ing so much on sponsored studies. 

"We do not accept contracts that are not in the estab- 
lished zones of our interests nor contracts that require us 
to go way into applied research," according to Dr. Henry 
M. Wriston, Brown President. 

"We do not take contracts out of scale to our total 
budget so that the policy of the University is deflected 
by the e.xistence of such contracts or made dependent 
upon them. 

"Government support of research is dangerous," Dr. 
Wriston feels, "if it deflects the basic intent of the Uni- 
versity, or takes too much time and energy from this pro- 
gram, or if the terms are so onerous as to restrict 
activities." But Dr. Wriston adds: "None of these things 
have happened at Brown up to this time." 

Programs receiving the greatest amount of outside 
support from all sources are those conducted by the 
Graduate Division of Applied Mathematics, with 
$600,501 in contracts; the Physics Department $215,957, 
and the Chemistry Department with $125,982. 

Some of the work in the Graduate Division of Applied 
Mathematics is classified. But nonsecret activities include 
a study of the plasticity of metals under the joint spon- 
sorship of the Office of Naval Research and the Navy 
Bureau of Ships. Here the aim is to find a better under- 
standing of what happens to mild steel under stress. 
The Division has a staff of 11 professors, 1 2 research 
assistants, seven computers, draftsmen, and machinists 
and eight secretaries. Roughly three-quarters of these do 
work in connection with sponsored research under the 
direction of Prof. William W. Prager, Chairman. 

► Navy Funds are supporting two major programs in 
the Chemistry Department. One involves study of the 
structure of molecules and crystals. The other is for the 
investigation of "nature and properties of a shock front 
in a gas." Currently engaged in this study are four staff" 
members, two fxast-doctoral fellows and three graduate 
fellows, as well as an under-graduate assistant. 

Operation of the Ultrasonics Laboratory and the 
Research Laboratory of Physical Electronics — the former 
largely subsidized by the Office of Naval Research and the 
latter to a lesser degree — comes under the Physics Depart- 
ment, headed by Prof. R. Bruce Lindsay. The ultrasonics 
workers are investigating certain aspects of the transmis- 
sion of high frequency sound through solids, liquids, and 
gases. Study in the physical electronics laboratory con- 
cerns single metal crystals. 

Army, Navy, Air Force, and industrial contracts are 
under way in the Division of Engineering under the 
supervision of Prof. John H. Marchand. High-speed 
aerodynamics and combustion are among the subjects 
being studied. The new wind tunnel in use — unlike 
those at a number of universities — was built by 
University funds and is owned entirely by the University. 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 

In all, some 25 lull- and part-time workers are involved 
in this division. 

In the Department of Astronomy, workers under the 
direction of Prof. Charles H. Smiley, Chairman, are 
seeking ways of making navigation more accurate in 
polar regions. Contracts here amount to $17,495. 

Two Navy contracts are under way in the Department 
of Psychology, headed by Prof. Walter S. Hunter. These 
concern taste and vision. Here the sponsored research 
budget is $33,850. 

Biology Department sponsored research involves 
$37,971 and is concentrated along medical lines. Prof. 
Walter Wilson, Department Chairman, directs this work. 

Brown also has a $41,000 sponsored study of the history 
of mathematics in process at this time, a reminder of the 
important part played by mathematicians in today's 
technology. 4 

Nearly $10,000 to Alumni Fund 

^ Without the benefit of an organized campaign in 
the old manner, the Brown Alumni Fund received 
$9,762.94 during 1948-1949, according to Robert O. 
Loosley, Secretary of the University. On the siding while 
the Housing Campaign express had the clear track, the 
Alumni Fund demonstrated that annual giving has its 
appeal to many Brunonians. Most of the gifts were re- 
ceived during the pre-Commenccment period in June 
when Fund Chairman Thomas F. Black, Jr., '19 sent a 
notice to those alumni not solicited during 1949 for the 
greater program of the Quadrangle. 

The Alumni Fund received $7,598.17 in gifts and 
pledges from 365 individuals, the average gift being 
$20.82. To this was added $805.35 income from the Alum- 
ni Endowment of the Alumni Fund and $256.42 from the 
Class of 1892 Fund. 

The Alumni Endowment of the Brown Alumni Fund 
was increased by $1,103 in new gifts. This docs not in-

► ► A PIPE-DREAM or a bubble burst in 
the Palmer Stadium at Princeton Oct. 15

of the season 27-14 and on the day's play 
thoroughly deserved to lose. A Bruin line 
of which so much had been expected just

its victory.

two official victories. Princeton, a sur- 
prise in its 14-K^ defeat by Penn, showed 
precision, power, and deception that was 
missing from the Brown attack. The 
Orangemen drove for four scores on 
marches of 85, 60, 42, and 65 yards, 
adding another on a safety while Bru- 
nonian misplays made the task easier than 
it should have been. 

Earlier Brown had humbled Holy Cross 
for the third straight time and pulled its 
punches in meeting an inferior Rhode 
Island State. The squad included 22 
lettermen from last year, the principal 
loss being that of Ed Finn, 1948's ace 
passer, but with Joe Paterno, Walt Pas- 
tuszak, and Sophomore Eldridge groomed 
by Tommy Thompson of the Philadelphia 
Eagles last spring Coach Engle hoped to 
provide an aerial threat. High morale 
and plenty of competition in the squad 
seemed likely to avoid what the coaches 
called "senioritis," the loss of top form 
which hits some veterans. 

Again Engle is using his explosive 
winged-T that has been so widely copied. 
It gave Brown last year its best record 
since 1932, seven out of nine. He employs 
a two-platoon system in about eight or 
nine positions, with some of the players 
working interchangeably on offense or 
defense, instead of specializing however.

Brown 28, Holy Cross 6 
^ Bre.vking through for three touch- 
downs in 13 minutes of the first half, Brown 
went on to hand Holy Cross its worst defeat 
since 1942 and by the biggest margin the 
Bear had enjoyed in the long series. It was 
three straight for Brown against the Cru- 
saders, giving it a 13-11 edge in the series, 
which includes two tie games. But the 
Bruins had never been so emphatic as on 
the opening day of the season Oct. 1 

The Purple, defeated the previous Sat- 
urday by Georgetown 20-13, provided an 
early threat with an advance which 
reached the Brown 16, but Walters, being 
watched for .'Mi-American play at tackle, 
put a squelcher on that with a fumble 
recovery. A booming punt by Kozak, 
which carried from his 28-yard line to the 
Cross 11, completed the job, and the visi- 
tors to Brown Field never penetrated so 
dangerously again, except for its lone 
score in the last quarter. The pressure was 
thoroughly eased after the next sequence 
when Co-Captain Paterno returned a punt 
68 yards for a touchdown on a handsome 
runback, aided by a fake handoflf and solid 
blocks by Don Colo and .'Mtieri. 

Brown had the ball again one play after 
the ensuing kickoff when Hutchinson 
dropped on a loose ball on the Crusaders' 
2 1 . Two plays by Young made a first down 
on the nine, where Nelson slipped over 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



right guard for the score. From their 26- 
yard stripe, the Brown backs moved again 
in 12 plays, mostly traps through center 
and off-tackle bursts, for Young's touch- 
down. Turco broke the ice after a scoreless 
third period, his long run from scrimmage 
providing the six-pointer for the Bears 
guests, but Joe Paterno hit White with a 
pass for a fourth Brown TD. Joe Condon, 
who had joined the squad only a couple of 
days before, hit for four on conversions to 
show he hadn't lost his eye during a sum- 
mer of work for the United Nations. 

Brown's passing was not impressive, des- 
pite the one touchdown by air. But the line 
play and the running assault was of high 
order. With many gains nullified by pen- 
alties (140 yards). Brown's statistics were 
not particularly impressive: 14 first downs 
to Holy Cross' 8, 244 yards rushing to 160, 
and three completed passes in 10 tries for 
25 vards, while the Purple completed eight 
of 17 for 124 yards. But the defensive 
strength was there when it counted, and 
the offense looked sound. 

Englc used 30 men: Ends — Searles, 
Altieri, Bowdring, Mahoney, Powers, 
White. Tackles — Walters, Macko, Hill, 
Colo. Guards — Hodosh, Hutchinson, 
Stien, Pietro, Bryson, Chernak, De- 
Simone. Centers — Scott, Kiely, Condon. 
Backs — Joe and George Paterno, Pastu- 
szak, Kozak, Young, Nelson, Rodewig, 
Savoye, Green, DiMott. 

IRONIC NOTE: Brown's 1926 Iron 
Man team (only Cornsweet was missing) 
was back for a reunion and was presented 
to the crowd. They lined up on the field 
as their names were called, even Charlie 
Consodine who was recovering from a 
serious operation. These veterans of 60- 
minute play against Yale and Dartmouth 
must have made some interesting com- 
ments as Coach Engle introduced his two- 
platoon system of offensive and defensive 
players. 

Brown 46, Rhode Island 

^ Against an outclassed team from King- 
ston, Rip Engle emptied the Brown bench 
Oct. 8, using every sub in the 51 -man 
squad dressed for the day in defeating 
Rhode Island by one of the largest scores 
in the 40-year old series. It was the 26th 
time in 35 games that the whitewash score 
was posted, and the regulars were used in 
the second half only for a brief warmup at 
the end. Noteworthy in the touchdown 
parade was Searles' on a short toss from 
Pastuszak, his first in three years of Varsity 
competition. State kept trying valiantly all 
the way, gambling on 37 passes, nine of 
which were completed by her own men 
and 1 1 by Brown defenders. Pastuszak 
nipped off five of them, while Joe Paterno, 
who teamed with him last year to establish 
one of the nation's top defensive records 
against aerials, ran another interception 
back for a touchdown. Kozak's 54-yard 
scoring run was the longest and prettiest 
of the day (barring one by DiMott called 
back for a penalty), while Young and 
Beaulieu each had two scores apiece. 

BIGGEST ROAR from the crowd all 
afternoon came when Rhody's mascot, a 
blue-horned ram, was led out onto the field 
between the halves to meet Butch Bruno. 
He caught one sight of the bearcub, broke 
loose from his handlers, and tore off as fast 
as he could leg it . . . The Brown Daily 
Herald editorially urged that the series 
with Rhode Island be terminated, because 
It is occasionally "no contest," because 
people stay away from it, because "nobody 
likes to be bully or to be bullied, " because 
modern scheduling avoids "breathers,"

BROWN AIIIMNI MONTHLY 




Football i 

continued jrom paoe 13 

because men are hurt when play lets down 
(although Capt. lacuele was put out of 
action for the season last year, no one was 
injured this fall), and because bad feeling 
growing out of the football situation might 
affect the good relationships in other sports 
(where, as a matter of fact, Rhode Island 
has had the modern edge) . 

Princeton 27, Brown 14 

^ Princeton's first touchdown on an 
advance of 85 yards came in nine plays, 
before the crowd of 24,000 had hardly 
settled in its seats. But Brown retaliated 
with offensive gestures of its own, running 
the kickoff back to the 40 and then com- 
pleting a Paterno-Mahoney pass for 20 
yards more, only to lose the ball on a 
fumble after another respectable gain on 
the ground. What sort of a game it might 
have been if this miscue had not occurred 
is pure speculation, but as it was Princeton 
gained confidence with each play, while 
Brown dug itself deeper into trouble. 

Even with the score 19-0 against it at 
the half. Brown had memories of a year 
ago when it came back to win after as 
inauspicious a beginning. This hope was 
fortified when Mahoney carried a Pastu- 
szak pass to the two yard line and Young 
plunged. Condon, who had won the 1948 



game, converted for the seventh point. 
But this time Princeton didn't let up, 
found the five-man line defense to its 
liking, and scored again. 

A forward-passing attack, which had not 
been too able in the other games, was 
Brown's only threat as it was held to 41 
yards rushing. The aerial weapon back- 
fired in yielding a safety but provided a 
second touchdown, on a spectacular 65- 
yard pass and run in which Pastuszak aided 
Nelson to score. Though Brown managed 
to outscore the home team during the 
second half, the Tigers' baffling reverses 
and willing blocks kept us backed up most 
of the time. In possession of the ball, the 
Bear seemed well-scouted, outcharged on 
the line, and uncertain behind what inter- 
ference there was. Some penalties were 
incurred at critical junctures, there were 
miscues at others, and the team just 
couldn't seem to get into the game. The 
platoons that were supposed to use the 
squad depth to best advantage had a lot 
of traffic all day. 

For once, statistics were an accurate 
reflection of what happened. Princeton 
had 21 first downs to Brown's six, gained 
244 yards rushing to 75. In the air. Brown 
completed 11 of 26 tries for 210 yards, 
while Princeton's eight of 22 meant 130 
yards. Except in spurts, Brown didn't 
come up to its expectations or its potential. 
It will play better football. It should still 
be a good season. 4

Dick Phillips of Brown were on dis-

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



A Reunion of the Iron Men A < 



By JOHNNY SWANTON 
Sports Editor, Brown Daily Herald 

► ^ The Brown campus welcomed home 
one of its most famous football teams on 
October 1, and after 23 years the Iron 
Men of 1926 gathered in a body for a foot- 
ball game at Brown Stadium — this time as 
spectators, however. An idea conceived 
last June by two members of the Brown 
Daily Herald sports staff culminated before 
the Brown-Holy Cross football game this 
year, and the only football team in Brown's 
gridiron history which went undefeated 
was honored for the weekend. 

Festivities started the night before, at 
6 p.m. in the Daily Herald offices when 
the 1926 squad gathered to begin their 
round of weekend appearances. They then 
proceeded to Faunce House terrace where 
they were introduced to the gathered 
throng at the pre-game football rally. After 
their appearance on the terrace the team 
ad'ourned to the studio of WBRU, campus 
radio network, where they did a tape 
recording broadcast for radio station 
WHIM in Providence. The transcription 
was played back over WHIM one half 
hour before the Yankee-Red Sox broadcast 
on Saturday afternoon. 

When the broadcast was completed the 
team repaired to Johnson's Hummocks 
Grill for the Brown Iron Men Reunion 
Banquet which began at 8 p.m. There 
were 77 invited guests, friends of the team 
and honored members at the dinner, and 
Director of Student Activities at Brown, 
W. S. B. Tate acted as toastmaster for the 
evening. Jimmy Jcmail '18 was the fea- 
tured speaker of the evening. Jemail is 
the Inquiring Fotographer for the New 
York Daily News, and gave an interesting 
talk to the assembled group. Other 
speakers included former Coach and 
Athletic Director Wally Snell, Captain Hal 
Broda, and Dave Mishel of the Iron Men, 
Athletic Director Paul F. Mackesey, Head 
Coach Rip Engle, and Daily Herald sports 
representatives Johnny Swanton, reunion 
chairman, and Jay Barry, dinner chair- 
man. 

One of the greatest hits of the evening, 
and a complete surprise to the assembled 
Iron Men was a tape-recording speech by 
Tuss McLaughry, present Dartmouth 
coach, and coach of the Iron Men in 1926. 
Tuss welcomed the team and proceeded to 
introduce them to the banquet group call- 
ing the squad off by positions. 

Saturday at Brown Field the nationally 
famous team appeared before the Brown- 
Holy Cross football game and lined up 
in their old positions on the field as the 
P. A. system introduced them to the spec- 
tators. The team was then led off the field 
and into a specially reserved section of 
seats in the stands by Captain Hal Broda. 

The reunion weekend was sponsored b\ 
the Brown Daily Herald for a twofold pur- 
pose. The Herald believed that after 23 
years the Iron Men should be brought 
back to the campus, and that since 1949 
promises to be one of Brown's best grid- 
iron years the only undefeated team in 
Brown history should be on hand to initiate 
the season. 

Up until late Friday afternoon of the 
reunion weekend all 1 1 members of the 
team were slated to appear, but a telegram 
from Al Cornsweet from Virginia stated 
that last minute complications would pre- 



vent his coming. Ten of the 1 1 members 
were on hand. 

The guest list for the Reunion Banquet 
reads like an .'Ml-.American football pre- 
diction chart. Some of the former Brown 
grid greats on hand were: Dr. Adolph 
Eckstein, Bill Broomhead, Edgar J. Staff, 
Bill and Tom Gilbane, Joe Buonanno, 
Maury Caito, Ernie Savignano, and Andy 
Rotelli. 

Other names closely connected with 
Brown athletics appeared at the dinner 
also. Senator Fred Broomhead, Dr. Barry 
Mongillo, Lewis Milner, Louis A. R. Pieri, 
Richard Batchelder, Harold Tanner, 
Robert GofF, Stanley Henshaw, Bizzy 
Arnold, Lew Shaw, Jack McKinnon, 
Charlie Lanigan, Richard Jenks, Robert 
Hall, Richmond Sweet, Knight Robinson, 
Stanley Paige, Dr. Lee Sannella, Mark 
McClain, George Metcalf and Ed Dol- 
bashian. ^ 

Harvard Game Warning 

► Athletic Director Paul F. Mackesey 
has asked us to remind Brunonians again 
of the situation with regard to tickets for 
the Harvard football game in Cambridge 
Nov. 12. Harvard's new policy opens cer- 
tain sections of the visitors' side to Harvard 
season-ticket holders. Brown's allotment 
of choice locations this year was sharply 
restricted in consequence — to a point con- 



siderably below last year's Marvel Gym 
sales (8000). 

Mackesey repeated his warning of last 
summer in these pages: Get your tickets 
early. The best go first. ^ 

ISovember Schedules 

y Seven Brown te.^ms are competing this 
fall, with headline games remaining on the 
schedule for November. The varsity foot- 
ball eleven (the name persists, even in 
these days of platoons) meets Yale at New 
Haven on the 5th, Harvard at Cambridge 
on the 12th. Columbia in New York on the 
19th, and Colgate in Providence for the 
Thanksgiving Day attraction on the 24th. 
The Junior Varsity winds up its six-game 
schedule with Yale on the 5th and Harvard 
on the 1 Ith, both games away. The Fresh- 
men, with a season interrupted out of 
deference to mid-semesters, play only Har- 
vard in November — on the 12th at 
Cambridge. 

Soccer concludes with a visit from Dart- 
mouth Nov. 4, a game at M. I. T. on the 
9th, and Harvard coming to .Aldrich Field 
Nov. II. The Freshmen card lists: Nov. 
4 at Tufts, Nov. 9 at M. I. T., and Nov. 
12 at Harvard. 

Excent for one with Providence College 
on Armistice Dav, the dual meets in cross 
country will have been run when November 
arrives. However the squad is entered in 
the Heptagonals in New York on Nov. 5, 
the New Englands on the 7th, and the 
IC4A run on the 21st. The Freshmen 
will also race Providence College on the 
11th. ^ 



► ► Visiting the Brown Clubs 



The New Student Body 

► ► Americ.\n universities and colleges 
are finding it difficult to get back to normal 
after the postwar influx of veteran students. 
President Wriston told a gathering of 
Brown alumni and undergraduates in 
Hartford Sept. 8. He pointed out that 
the veterans, who have been a stabilizing 
influence on the colleges, are disappearing 
from the academic scene through gradua- 
tion — most of them by this June. "We are 
now getting back to the schoolboy days," 
he said. "It will be a very difficult transi- 
tion for both the boys and us." (At the 
first Faculty Club meeting of the year, too, 
he said that the Freshman Class was 
essentially made up of boys just out of 
school and reminded his hearers of the 
teaching adjustment it would entail.) 

The veterans were serious-minded men, 
who studied well, knew what they wanted 
in education, and were in a hurry to make 
up for lost time, he said. The new stu- 
dents, however high their aptitude and 
careful their selection, would have less 
maturity and less urgent a motivation. 

The occasion was the annual send-off 
dinner for the Connecticut undergrad- 
uates, sponsored by the Hartford Brown 
Club at the Hartford Club. .\s Secretary 
Cy Flanders wrote, these dinners "get 
larger every year." This fall 130 persons, 
30 of them entering Freshmen, attended 
and enjoyed themselves thoroughlv. Co- 
ooerating were the Brown Clubs of Eastern 
Connecticut and New Haven. President 
Russell Granniss introduced the alumni 
from those Clubs, 

Then the new Freshmen were given a 
rousing hand. It was to them that Rev. 
Edwin H. TuUer addressed himself, with 
a humorous and inspiring message that 

15 



rallied them to the cause of Brown at the 
start of their college careers. "The intro- 
duction that Tuller gave Dr. Wriston set 
the stage for a talk that held us spell- 
bound," Flanders reports. Dr. Wriston was 
at his best — informal, amusing, inform- 
ative, exciting, he was terrific. He was 
given on ovation after he had finished." 

Among those present were Jesse H. 
Smith '96 of Suffield Academy and Frank 
O. Jones '97. Larry Smith led in the 
singing of Brown songs, in which everyone 
joined lustily. Another guest from Provi- 
dence was the Alumni Executive Officer, 
William B. McCormick. 

Coming up on the Hartford calendar 
is a Sports Night, Nov. 2, while on Nov. 
20 Prof. Smiley will be the speaker before 
a meeting to which Pembroke alumnae 
are being invited. ^ 

Before the Yale Game 

► The night before the Yale game, the 
New Haven Brown Club will continue its 
annual custom with a football smoker at 
the Taft Hotel. It is one of the largest and 
best Brown gatherings of the year any- 
where, and the Club's invitation is ex- 
tended to any Brunonian in town for the 
game. This year's speakers include .Athlet- 
ic Director Paul Mackesey and Prof. W. 
E. S. Moulton, Director of Physical Edu- 
cation and hockey coach. Movies of Brown 
football will top off the evening. 

In addition to participating in the all- 
Connecticut send-off at Hartford, New 
Haven had its own yearly party for under- 
graduates and entering Freshmen. The 
afi'air was a weiner roast, held again at 
the home of Robert Dugan, former Presi- 
dent of the Club. 4 



BROWN ALLIMNI MONTHLY 




THE NEW BRUNO meets the committees which ran the Rhode Island 
Brown Club's Clambake Scrimmage. Tentative but also pleased are, left 
to right, Paul Welch, John Lownes, Mason Dunn, and Norman Silverman. 
(Two of their neckties also featured bears.) 



Middle West Rally 

► Brown alumni in the Middle West will 
converge on Cleveland Oct. 28 to see the 
Western Reserve football battle next day 
and join with the Ohio men in pre-game 
and post-game festivities. Clubs in Chica- 
go, Detroit, and Pittsburgh are co-operat- 
ing with those in Cleveland, Youngstown, 
Akron, Canton, and Cincinnati in support 
of a splendid program. 

Things will get under way at the Uni- 
versity Club in Cleveland at ,5:30 on the 
28th, with dinner scheduled for 7. Presi- 
dent Millis of Reserve, who became an 
honorary alumnus of Brown while at the 
University of Vermont, and Vice-President 
Bigelow will head the list of guests, who 
include Athletic Directors Councell of 
Reserve and Mackesey of Brown, Coaches 
Scarry of Reserve and Englc of Brown, 
Sports Editor Gordon Cobbledick of the 
Cleveland Plain Dealer, and the entire 
Brown football squad. 

While the dinner on the 28th will be a 
stag affair, an informal luncheon has been 
arranged for noon on Saturday before the 
game for out-of-town alumni and their 
wives. This will also be held at the Uni- 
versity Club, which is not too far from the 
field and has ample parking space. The 
Cleveland Brown Club plans a cocktail 
party after the game. During the evening 
Brunonians who are members of the Uni- 
versity Club have made arrangements so 
that visiting couples may attend the reg- 
ular Saturday evening dance there. 

It will be the first Bear football invasion 
of the Middle West in years, and the 
Cleveland Club is determined to do things 
up brown, Harry HoflTman writes. ^ 



Clambake Scrimmage 

► The Clambake Scrimmage will prob- 
ably go on the books as an annual event, if 
the success of the experiment by the Brown 
Club of Rhode Island and the .Athletic 
Department is any criterion. Several 
hundred members of the Club had a pri- 
vate pre-view of the 1949 football team 
when Coach Engle staged an intra-squad 
game scrimmage on Brown Field Sept. 16. 
Later in the afternoon a motor cavalcade 
found its way to the Francis Farm in 
Rehoboth for a fine bake, at which press 
and radio men from New England and 
New York were appreciative guests. Coach 
Engle held a press conference, and Presi- 
dent E. John Lownes '23 had a brief word 
of welcome. Informal sports filled in the 
afternoon. ^ 

For ISew York's Freshmen 
^ One hundred of the 140 Freshmen 
entering from the metropolitan area were 
the guests of the Brown University Club 
in New York for its annual Sub-Freshman 
Dinner Sept. 7. About 40 alumni had 
been asked to help entertain, moving from 
table to table as each course was served. 

Joseph E. O'Neil, chairman for the 
affair, introduced Toastmaster Thomas S. 
Watson, Jr., while the principal speakers 
were Vice-President Bruce M. Bigelow and 
Dean of Admission Emery R. Walker, Jr. 
They had general advice for the Brunonian 
newcomers, as well as information about 
the impending Freshman Week. Such 
notables as Earl Sprackling, Ralph Palmer, 
and Lee Marshall were asked to take a 
bow. 

The tournament to decide the Club golf 
championship was held Sept. 20 at the 

16 



Quaker Ridge Country Club in Scarsdale. 
Since a tie for low gross resulted between 
Joseph F. Halloran '16 and Dr. .Arnold P. 
Conaty '43, they were declared co-cham- 
pions for 1949. Other prize-winners were 
Edward Sulzberger '29, low net, and 
Myron Buchsbaum '34, kicker. Committee 
Chairman Sulzberger presided over the 
dinner which followed and called on Presi- 
dent Fred Rohlfs, Sprackling, Paul 
O'Brien, and the co-champions. 

The annual football dinner will be held 
Nov. 2, the Wednesday before the Yale 
game. Movies and a good speaking pro- 
gram will cover the gridiron situation in 
promising fashion. A report on the foot- 
ball picture was also expected for the first 
Club luncheon, Oct. 28, while the Club 
had a block of tickets for the Princeton 
game so that members could see at first 
hand what the prospect was. 

The Brown Club will once again be 
represented in the Metropolitan Squash 
Racquets Association competition, with 
a team of "C" players. i 

Vermont's First 

► Twenty-five alumni, at the first 
Brown meeting ever held in Vermont, 
heard President Wriston strike out at the 
proposed program for Federal aid to edu- 
cation and adopted a resolution support- 
ing the Brown Corporation in maintaining 
an independent institution free from such 
subsidy and its controls. The passing of 
educational controls to the Government 
is a creeping process. Dr. Wriston asserted, 
with many private institutions becoming 
more and more reliant on Federal money. 
Extension of the practice would lead to 
Government control of the nation's school 
system, he said. 

President Wriston told the alumni, 
gathered at the Wheeler Williams in Rut- 
land Oct. 3, he was no stranger to Ver- 
mont, having worked in Brandon on the 
first job he ever held and later worked 
summers selling books while paying his 
wav through college. 

The meetin.g was presided over by Leon 
S. Gay 06 of Cavendish, while his class- 
mates Judge Ernest Moore and Joseph L. 
Wheeler of Ludlow were also present. 
.Assisting with arrangements was Ernest C. 
Hathaway '18 of Rutland. Dr. John M. 
Thomas of Mendon, formerly President of 
Rutgers, Penn State, Middlebury, and Nor- 
wich, was a guest. 

The enthusiastic group included: 
Harold G. High '09 of Weston, Lawton V. 
Crocker, Chester map-maker. Rev. J. Rus- 
sell Case '13 of Vergennes, Rev. Edwin L. 
Thornton '21 of North Springfield, Carl 
O. Samuelson '23 of Newport, Prof. 
Charles G. Doll '24 of the University of 
Vermont, William Ballou '25, Chester 
banker. Rev. G. Lewis Porter '25, of Rut- 
land, Stanley T. .Adams '27 of Saxton's 
River, John Drysdale '28, Randolph Pub- 
lisher, Prof. Norman J. Blair '33 of Green 
Mountain Junior College, Dr. William A. 
Hill, Jr., '36 of the Vermont Board of 
Health, Frederick M. May '36 of Bellows 
Falls, Norman S. Case, Jr., Bethel lawyer, 
Richard F. Buck '42 of Barre, Shailer R. 
Cummings '42 of Bennington, Richard B. 
Edgar '48 of Sherburne Center, Robert 
W. Phillips '48 of Middlebury, and H. 
E. Van Surdam of the Housing and Devel- 
opment Fund StatT. There were greetings 
from Lester H. Nichols '04 of Bennington. 
Rev. Emil A. .\hokas '46 of Cabot, and

President was holding up three fingers, to 
represent the number of touchdowns he 
thought Brown would beat Princeton by. ^ 

The Fall in Washington 

► The ye.\r 'rou.nd the Washington 
Brown Club provides something good for its 
members. During the summer the regular 
weekly luncheons were continued — each 
Wednesday at 12:30 in O'Donnell's Res- 
taurant in downtown Washington. On 
Aug. 31 the Club had as its special lunch- 
eon guests the undergraduates and three 
entering Freshmen from the area. Featured 
guest was John Ellinwood, winner of the 
first scholarship award made out of the 
Club's newly established fund. 

Athletic Director Paul Mackesey was to 
pay his annual visit to Washington Oct. 
26 on the occasion of the Club's sports 
night smoker. Earlier it was planned to 
send a delegation to the Princeton game, 
tying in with plans of the Philadelphia 
Brown Club. Last year, too, the Washing- 
ton men joined the Philadelphians at a 
pre-game buffet in Princeton. 

November's plan is for a repetition of 
the 1948 cocktail party, so successful that 
there was demand for another this fall. 
It may be scheduled to coincide with the 
Thanksgiving vacation at Brown so that 
the undergraduates home for the holidays 
may be included. The annual business 
meeting and election of officers will follow 
a dinner in December or January, when it 
is hoped to have one of the University's 
official family as guest speaker. 

In addition to the above activities, the 
Club is again competing this fall in the 
Washington Intercollegiate Bowling 
League. The matches come each Thursday 
night at the Chevy Chase Alleys, where, as 
usual, George Hurley, Club President, is 
anxious that all enthusiasts have their 
chance. He may be reached by phone at 
CHestnut 3703. 

All new men in the Washington area are 
invited to take part in Brown Club activ- 
ities. The Secretary's phone number is 
REpublic 5600, Ext. 5082.

► Brunonians of the Northeastern New 
■york region played host to undergraduates 
on the eve of their return to the Brown 
campus Sept. 9 at the annual fall meeting 
of the Brown Club, held in the University 
Club of Albany. Carl E. Martin '23 of 
Troy presided. 

Speakers included Dr. Charles S. .Aid- 
rich '94, who gave an informal account 
of campus life in his day; Roland K. 
Brown, Director of .Athletics at R. P. I., 
former Brunonian athlete and coach; and 
Henderson E. Van Surdam, field represen- 
tative for the Brown Housing and Develop- 
ment Fund. 

The roster of students included: Francis 
E. Dorscy, Jr., Saratoga Spring; David A. 
Green, Watervliet; Peter L. Harvie, Jr., 
Bruce K. Bean, David L. Lusty, John E. 
Martin, and James R. Whitney, Troy;

the Brown Club Newsletter appeared last 



summer, including a roster of alumni in 
the area, news of the spring meeting, and 
discussion of a number of projects.

Dominion Welcome 

^ When 'Virginians welcome, they 
really welcome. The editor of this magazine 
enjoyed fine Dominion hospitality July 15 
in Richmond at the Jefferson Hotel, where 
Regional Vice-President Ernest S. Fitz '1 1 
was host. The group included Walter I. 
Dolbeare '23, Secretary of the Brown Club 
of Virginia, James D. Church '46, .Allan 
S. Hadfield '39, Prof. Carl W. Hagquist 
'34, Walter G. Meuschke '48. There was 
much good talk and interest in what is 
happening on College Hill today, but most 
frequent questions related to members of 
the Faculty. ^ 



Boston's First Luncheon 

► Coach Rip Engle and Ernest Savig- 
nano of the Athletic Office opened the year 
for the Boston Brown Club by paying a 
luncheon visit Oct. 11. Each month the 
Bostonians will gather at Thompson's Spa 
on the second Tuesday. 

Because of the .Armistice Day holiday, 
the Club has decided to forgo its annual 
smoker on the night before the Harvard 
game. Plans are under way, however, 
Secretary Loring P. Litchfield writes the 
.Alumni Office, to provide a program rich 
in variety and interest for the balance of 
the year. Included is a Brown Night at 
the Boston Pops, while the .Annual Dinner 
of New England alumni is scheduled, al- 
though perhaps in May instead of April as 
has been past custom. George Channing 
is President for the year. 4^

Weekly in Los Angeles 

^ Weekly luncheons, which have proved 
so popular the last two years, have been 
resumed in Los .Angeles by the Brown 
University Club. The Executive Commit- 
tee has again selected the Continental 
Room of the .Alexandria Hotel for its meet- 
ing place (5th & Springs Sts.) every Thurs- 
day at noon, starting with Sept. 29. The 
Club receives copies of the Brown Daily 
Herald air-mailed during the football sea- 
son. The luncheons have been an impor- 
tant factor in building a strong nucleus of 
the Club, and all Brunonians in Southern 
CaUfornia, within striking distance, are 
urged to attend. Plans were in the works 
for a big fall meeting when Secretary R. 
D. Messinger wrote in September. 

The Club is particularly proud of honors 
bestowed on two members: Dr. Reginald 
Poland '14, Director of the San Diego 
Fine Arts Gallery, received an honorary 
degree of Doctor of Fine .Arts at the Brown 
Commencement in June. Stephen H. Dol- 
ley '42 is the new Regional Director in 
the Associated Alumni. "Such things tend 
to shorten the distance to Providence." 4

Chicago's Annual Send-Off 

► Entering Freshmen, their fathers, 
and alumni gathered Sept. 6 at Chicago's 
L'niversity Club for the annual send-oflF 
luncheon of the Brown Club. Fifty-eight 
Brown enthusiasts new and old (oldest 
— Chester A. Cook '91) heard Homer R. 
Faulkner '23 and Ralph M. Brown '25 out- 
line the problems Freshmen generally face 
when entering college away from home. 
Some of the customary failings of Fresh- 
men through the years were described, with 
ample personal experiences to support the 
ideas advanced. 

In more serious vein, Ralph Brown and 
President Bill Garvy '38 urged the selected 
secondary school graduates to take full 
advantage of their opportunities in Provi- 
dence, and to consider the Chicago Brown 
club their supporter and sponsor. Vice- 
President Bill Roberts '42 introduced the 
class of '53 by name and secondary school, 
and announced scholarship winners. 

Freshmen who attended were; Robert 
.Alexander, Fond du Lac, Wis. : John .Angle 
and George Bender, Chicago; Richard 
Brand, Stuart Feuer, and Robert Sharpe,

Others present, including seven under- 
graduates, were: Warren Smith '32, 
Ronald Kimball '18, F. A. Brown '26, 
Norman Pierce '33, Harper Brown '45, Ed 
Read '35, Miles Cunat '52, Fritz Bassett

Berger '52, Homer Faulkner '23, Jack 
Monk '24, Will Presba '32, Bill Fay '38, 
Eugene Pekow '52, Ralph Brown '25, and 
Mr. Cook. 

When Vice-President Bruce M. Bigelow 
'24 was in Chicago for the inauguration of 
Northwestern's new President, Brunonians 
greeted him at a reception at the Kimballs. 
Another guest of honor was Provost James 
P. Adams of the University of Michigan, 
former Vice-President of Brown. "It was 
a gala affair, with the house packed with 
Brunonians, with a few scattered North- 
westerners who didn't have a chance. Hos- 
pitality was par for the Kimball course. " 

Another autumn feature was the trek 
to Cleveland for the Brown affairs, includ- 
ing the Western Reserve football game. 
The Chicago group expected a good repre- 
sentation. 

Event of the summer was the annual 
Brown Club Golf Outing and Dinner at 
the Rolling Green Country Club Aug. 18. 
It was a wonderful day for golf, Chairman 
Ed Lawson reports. As usual after the 
dinner the standbys all remained for bridge 
and other sport, while the songs of Old 
Brunonia resounded through the club 
house. Even with the gas shortage, more 
than 30 made the outing; 

James R. Brcmner, Jr., '34, F. Donald 
Bateman '25, Vincent L. Benton '38, F. 
Abbott Brown '26, Ralph M. Brown '25, 
Chester A. Cook '91, Everett R. Cook '19, 
William G. Corbus '43, Charles W. Cor- 
coran '41, Stephen G. Crully, Jr., '29,

'40, Antone G. Singsen '38, Warren J. 
Smith, Jr., '32, Seth Sims, Jr., '46, and 
Mynderse H. Taylor '42. 

"Bill Fay won the low gross honors, and 
Vince Benton won the blind bogey. Again, 
Chester Cooke was the senior alumnus 
present (and had the most fun of anyone 
of those gathered). Kenneth Parker '18 
donated five Parker 51 fountain pens for 
prizes, while other awards were made pos- 
sible by Tony Bateman." 

Save Dec. 29 for the annual Christmas 
meeting when the boys are home.

Scarsdale-White Plains 

^ Princip.<\l fall activity of the new 
Brown Club of Scarsdale and White Plains, 
N. Y., will be a pre-Columbia game 
gathering on Nov. 18. We had no final 
word on this as we went to press, however. 



Long Island Alumni 

► Attention of all Long Island alumni, 
particularly those resident in Queens, Nas- 
sau and Suffolk Counties, is called to the 
birth of the Brown University Club of 
Long Island. It is a lusty infant, accord- 
ing to reports of the first meeting Oct. 10 
at which 46 were present to welcome 
Alumni Executive Officer William B. Mc- 
Cormick and Assistant .\thlctic Director 
Ernest Savignano. (Sixteen other alumni 
also gave assurance of future support.) 

One problem encountered in the forma- 
tion of the Club arises from the fact that 
many Long Island commuters have given 
the Alumni Office their business address 
in New York City for University mail. That 
automatically includes them, for most rou- 
tine purposes, in the geographical stencil 
file for Manhattan. If, for example, the 
Alumni Monthly is sent to the New York 
address, it is difficult mechanically to pro- 
vide the Long Island Club with a complete 
list of available residents for their Club 
use. 

The morning after the first meeting of 
the Club Daniel Earle, Secretary-Treasurer 
pro tern., phoned us with the request to 
give publicity to this message: "If you live 



on Long Island and are not receiving 
notices about the new Brown Club, please 
notify Daniel Earle at 77 South Ocean 
Ave., Patchogue, L. I. He will provide 
full information about future activity." 

The Club named a Board of Governors 
at its October meeting at the Garden City 
Casino. The Board is instructed to select 
officers. This is a larger Club than the 
neighborhood group in the Manhasset Bay 
area, already active. 4 

Georgia Alumni to Meet 

► Henderson E. Van Surdam of Brown's 
Housing and Development Campaign staff 
is also know as a gridiron official and foot- 
ball enthusiast in general. .\s Secretary- 
Treasurer of the Touchdown Club of New 
York, he goes to Georgia Tech this month 
to present a plaque on behalf of the Club 
in memory of a past President, Dean Hill, 
one-time Tech football captain. 

While in Georgia, Van Surdara will 
speak at a meeting of Brown alumni in 
Atlanta on Oct. 31. Eugene W. O'Brien 
'19 of the Brown Corporation is making 
the arrangements. ^ 

In Baltimore 

► The annual meeting of the Baltimore 
Brown Club was scheduled for Oct. 12. ^

Club on Cape Cod was forecast as the 
result of a well-attended meeting of alumni 
in Hyannis .Aug. 15. Year-round Cape 
Codders were joined by "summer folk,"

The 1949 Reunion RoUcall < M 



The reunion pattern is familiar at Brown 
— it is the variations that count in each 
case. Herewith we present the reports on 
the 1949 reunions of Brown men, as re- 
ported by the faithful corps of Class Sec- 
retaries. Time and space did not permit 
this coverage in our summer isstte. In the 
pages normally occupied by "Brunonians 
Far and Near," the notes of the Classes, we 
call the roll on an outstandingly success- 
ful reunion year. 

1884 

^ ^ OoL. W. M. P. BowEN was host at a 
dinner for two other members of the Class, 
Theodore F. Tillinghast and Albert A. 
Baker, at the Narragansett Hotel, June 
18. Letters conveying best wishes from 
classmates Rev. William J. Cloucs, Prof. 
L. Raymond Higgins, Rev. Charles R. 
Upton, and Daniel L. Hazard were read. 
Recognition was paid to those members of 
the Class who had passed away since their 
last reunion. Mr. Tillinghast is now Presi- 
dent, Mr. Baker, Vice-President, and Col. 
Bowen, Secretary of the Class. Col. Bowen 
and Mr. Baker were present at the AU- 
.-\lumni Dinner on the 17th and in the 
Commencement procession.

Worthinglon AAC President 

^ The .\merica.\ Ah;mm Council is an 
association of the men and women profes- 
sionally engaged in alumni work for the 
universities, colleges, junior colleges, and 
many secondary schools in the United 
States and Canada. Its members are bene- 
fited by the interchange of ideas and ex- 
perience on alumni and educational prob- 
lems, by the study of practices and policies 
of organized alumni work, and by the 
appraisal of alumni achievement. AAC 
membership includes 1250 individuals in 
489 institutions. Its 377 alumni magazines 
reach 1,725,000 readers. Nearly 200 alum- 



ni funds reporting in the last annual survey 
reported total gifts of .$11,000,000 from 
400,000 contributors. 

AAC President for 1949-1950 is W. C. 
Worthington, editor of the Brown Alumni 
Monthly. Among his duties will be partici- 
pation in a number of regional conferences 
for members in different parts of the coun- 
try, dates for which have been set as 
follows: Nov. 30-Dec. 2 Highland Park, 
111. Dec. 4-7 Omaha, Neb. Dec. 15-16 
Denver, Colo. Jan. 4-7 New Orleans. Jan. 
8-10 Columbia, S. C. Jan. 12-14 Green- 
field, Mass. Jan. 19-21 Asbury Park, N. J. 
April 10-11 Carmel, Calif. A Board of 
Directors meeting is scheduled for Chicago 
Dec. 8-9, while the 1950 national confer- 
ence will be at Harvard next July. ^ 

Small Talk i 

continued from page 2 

offices at other institutions. But we raised 
an eyebrow when we read that a certain 
new alumni house has "a concealed busser 
system in the executive suite." Reminds us 
that the otherwise excellent 1949 Liber 
identified Jim Carroll libelously and in- 
accurately as "vile commodore of the 
Brown Yacht Club. " 

\ Lew Shaw, able athletic publicist, calls 
attention to the fine work of the Post 
Office which delivered a letter to Coach 
Engle recently, althou.gh it was addressed 
merely: "Mr. Charles .\. Rip." 
► K Princeton landmark which has served 
every living Princetonian is the bell in the 
cupola of Nassau Hall, cast in 1857 and 
hung in 1858. Bellmaster Bigelow told 
the Princeton Alumni Weekly he believes 
"there is no other bell in the world which 
has, in its lifetime, rung as many times, as 
many individual strokes." Besides signals 
for the start of each class, exam, and other 
events, the Princeton bell's striker has 
marked the hour 24 times each day. It 
is this last which keeps us from issuing a 
categorical challenge to Princeton on be- 
half of our own famous Brown chapel bell 
on University Hall which has done every- 
thing mentioned except strike the hour 
since 1791. Is there a tabulator in the 
house? 

^ If you don't read bulletin boards, you 
miss a lot of fun. For instance, we liked 
the call for candidates for athletic team 
managers at Brown: "Be a campus per- 
sonage. Build up your health. Short hours, 
rapid advancement. See all the games free 
without carrying the drum. Be a manager. 
Minimum wage .$.00 to start." 



► Dr. Flemming of Ohio Wesleyan was 
reminded by a number of speakers at his 
installation that he was the ninth President 
of the institution. "Yes, " he said, "I'm the 
ninth. .And there'll be a tenth." 

► This all happened some years ago, mak- 
ing any report on it a bit tardy. .Anyhow, 
a good Brown man who had had some 
trouble in College returned for a reunion. 
.At one point in the weekend he sought out 
Dean Randall, whom he had seen quite 
often as an undergraduate, officially and 
by request. 

"Dean," the alumnus said, "I take a lot 
of satisfaction in talking with you. You 
don't remember me, but years ago when 
I was still a student at Brown you told me 
I would never amount to anything. You 
were quite positive about it, as I recall. 
Well, sir, I'd like to have you know that 
you were absolutely right." 

► The nationally-noted "moat " had al- 
ready figured in several campus gags before 
College was in session for a week. One of 
the football officials at the first game, who 
paced ofT liberal penalty yardage against 
Brown, was saluted with a cheering-sec- 
tion chant: "Throw him in the moat . . . 
throw him in the moat." The night before, 
too, at the student rally there was a bur- 
lesque of several of the administrative 
officers, regaled in cap and gown. One of 
them was haranguing the large crowd 
when the other three stalked off the Faunce 
House terrace with shovels over their 
shoulders. "Hey," shouted the speaker, 
"where are you going? " The others kept 
walking but turned their heads to yell, 
"We're off to dig the moat." 

► We read "Freedom and Fear ", the Har- 
vard Phi Beta Kappa Oration by Prof. 
Zechariah Chafee, Jr., 07 this summer, 
knowing it would be a stimulating state- 
ment. Pointing out that Communists form 
one 20th of one per cent in this country, he 
remarks that the odds are 1,999 to 1 in 
favor of free institutions: if the Harvard 
Stadium were filled with 40,000, the 
chances are that only 20 of them would be 
Communists. 

"What," he asks, "can we do to prevent 

them from harming the other 99.95% of 

us, who have on our side only the city and 

state police, almost every newspaper and 

school teacher and professor and preacher, 

the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the 

.Army, the .Air Force, and the Navy, never 

forgetting the Marines? Shades of Valley 

Forge and Iwo Jima ! If we no longer want 

to be the land of the free, at least let us 

be the home of the brave."
