To the iurpiise of most of those nl n 
recent meeting of the Fall River Brown 
Club, IVillinm A. Hart '03 was introduced 
as the author of "Ki-yi-yi", a perennial 
favorite among Brown University songs. 
Because his part in the creation of the song 
has not had due recognition we asked Mr. 
Hart to tell us the story of how "Ki-yi-yi" 
came to be written. 

► ► One Idle Afterxoox in thr fall of 
1902, as we sat in the Psi U house, Steve 
Waterman Mason, Brown 1905, said to 
me apropos of nothing that I can remem- 
ber, "Bill, we ought to have a new Brown 
song." 

I judge that two thoughts prompted 
him. I had lately become editor-in-chief 
of the Brunonian: and the Brown Band 
had just begun functioning at our football 
games. That year may not have been the 
band's first, though I think now that it 
was. Anyhow, it was a somewhat sketchy 
— and much applauded — enterprise. 

Steve's challenge must have been some- 
how timely ; for right then and there I sat 
down and wrote the verse as it is now: and 
the chorus somewhat in the present form. 
Anyhow, "Ki-yi-yi" was in it. Steve was 
immediately approving, and said "Let's 
take it over to Ned Corliss (Brown '95) 
and have him put that to music." 

We went over to Ned's house, found 
him in, and read him the words. He went 
to the piano and played the accompani- 
ment to the verse exactly as it goes now. 
Then he said: "It seems to me that the 
chorus ought to swing like this", and 
began the phrase for the words "Ki-yi-yi" 
as we have it now. That passed the ball to 
me and I took my chorus and re-wrote it 
as we have it now: handed it back to Ned 
and he finished the music for it. It has 
never changed from what we turned out 
in a few excited minutes. 

The next Saturday afternoon .Alec 
.\bbott '03, my roommate, passed out slips 
through the cheering section bearing the 
words — I think he had them printed. The 
band had been provided with and re- 
hearsed to the music — I don't know how 
or from what score. 

The song took at once and I sat in the 
stands and enjoyed my part in it without 
making any sort of claim for attention or 
credit. Shortly thereafter, on a music stand 
down town I picked up the song, printed 
and credited solely to Ned Corliss. 

When a subsequent Brown song book 
came out, my name, as a result of my 
quiescence in the first instance, did not 
appear. Later, a Brown song book edited, 
it seems to me, by Prof. William T. Hast- 
ings, who also was my classmate in '0!5, 



credited me with the words for the hrst 
time — he having recalled, I suppose, 
the circumstances of the song's debut. 
In any later books that I have seen my 
name has been dropped. 

Because I can't compose music, it has 
always seemed to me that the major credit 
for "Ki-yi-yi " belonged to the man who.se 
nmsic set it afloat. But, of course, now that 
I am in the years when the laurels are rare, 
it would be fun to see the words credited 
to me in any forthcoming book. 

I have had an ample reward in hearing 
the song burst out year by year, on the 
field or over the radio. And recently in 
an exchange concert given at the school 
where I teach, b\ another high school, the 
music of "Ki-yi-yi" and a paraphrase of 
its words were introduced as the school's 
song. 

.\11 this has reconciled me well enough 
to anonymity: and was I surprised at our 
recent Fall River Brown Club dinner to 
find that your, and our. Rev. Albert C. 
I'homas ("Tomm\"" to us over here ) knew 
all the words and that I wrote them!

► Sir : I note your new policy on obituaries, 
giving the briefest of identification along 
with the bare facts of death. I could wish 
the accorded space were not so dispropor- 
tionate with regard to the appreciation due 
many a career. But I appreciate the neces- 
sity of keeping the necrology short, to ac- 
commodate other material. And I wel- 
come notice that is prompt, at least. 

May I urge you to add to the facts now 
given the name and address of the next of 
kin? This permits us to write someone of

► Sir: I certainly enjoy reading all issues 
of this link with my .Alma Mater. It surely 
is interesting to find out what other fellows 
in the Class of 1946 are doing and the 
changes that have taken place since grad- 
uation. Your coverage of the many phasi's 
of life at Brown is wonderful. I have yet to 
find an alunmi magazine from anothei 
University which can top that of Brown.

► Sir; I would like to express my appre- 
ciation to the man who conducts Brown's 
sports publicity in the New York metro- 
politan area. This year has seen more 
writeups of Brown's very good football 
team than ever before, and I'm sure it is a 
great aid to our school's reputation in 
these parts. So extend my compliments to 
your publicity director and keep up the 
good work with the magazine.

Ned Corliss had arranged that at a 
certain signal the Brown boys who filled the 
orchestra and were well supplied with gor- 
geous yellow chrysanthemums were to 
throw them on the stage when Miss 
Vaughn had finished one of her hit num- 
bers. I think in the 2nd act. It was a 
beautiful sight as hundreds of the yellow 
chrysanthemums were showered on the 
stage for Miss Vaughn. It truly looked 
like a golden snowstorm. 

I can assure you a great impression was 
made on all present, especially on us fresh-

The Cover Photo 

► Blown University's art lending library, 
believed the largest of its kind on any 
campus in the country, continues in pop- 
ularity. Full use is reported of the 550 
originals and reproductions — works from 
Rembrandt to modern abstracts. 

Each semester the student pays from 
50 to 75 cents a picture for the privilege of 
hanging it in his room, and one merit of 
the system is the possibility of changing 
each term through the collection and re- 
issue of the items. Nelson B. Jones, Man- 
ager of the Brown Union, reports an al- 
most complete turnover of stock and says 
that double the number of pictures could 
be distributed if available. 

.Although a start had been made earlier, 
the University received a $3000 gift in 
1937 which established the Poland Collec- 
tion on a permanent basis. Each year it is 
augmented by purchase or permanent loan. 
The student fees provide for maintenance 
of the items. 

The preference among Brown men is 
for contemporary English and .American 
works strong in color and action. Land- 
scapes and seascapes are favorites, while 
portraits are least popular. Pembroki 
tastes are almost identical. At Browntown, 
where the married students rent apart- 
ments from the University, the lending 
service has an especial appeal.

► American Civilization: It's a 'Natural' 



► ► Unher a $36,500 grant from the Carnegie Corpora- 
tion of New York. Brown Uni\crsity has begun a new- 
program designed to give students a broad, rounded, and 
connected view of the histor\- of .American civilization, 
together with the influences and elements of it. Four new 
courses ha\e been financed by the five-year grant. The 
program is described in this issue by Prof. Edmund S. 
Morgan. Chaimian of the interdepartmental committee 
\\ hich drew up the courses and is director of the program. 

Students at Brown are now allowed to major in the field 
of .\mcrican Civilization as they have been permitted to 
concentrate in English, economics, mathematics, and 
other subjects. The new courses are in the histoiy of 
science, philosophy, and art and architecture in this coun- 
try as aspects of its life and culture. They will be supple- 
mented in the program by those already being given in the 
histon of .American literature and political and economic 
thought. 

As Prof. Morgan points out, the unique facilities at 
Brown for study and research in .American history are 
belie\'i-d to be one of the reasons which led the Carnegie 
Corporation to give Brown its grant. \\hi( h will be used 
for instructional salaries. Prominent in the program with 
Dr. Morgan are: Profs. Donald H. Fleming, newcomer to 
the History Department, Vincent A. Tomas, and Will S. 
Taylor. Dr. Fleming will give the coiuse on the histoi^y of 
American science ; Dr. Tomas that on the history of .Amer- 
ican philosophy; and Dr. Taylor the one on the history of 
.American .Art and .Architecture. 

Dr. Morgan, who has been at Brown since 1946, is a 
specialist in .American colonial history. He feels very 
strongly that the new program provides a means of escape 
from the traditional teaching of history primarily in terms 
of political development. He believes that unless you ex- 
amine all the aspects of life in a certain period you cannot 
understand fully what happened and why. As a news- 
paper interviewer disco\ered, he is himself a good example 
of a specialist who likes to branch out beyond set bound- 
aries of his field. Although a historian, he is enough of a 
technical scientist that he was employed in highly secret 
war work in the radiation laboratory at M.I.T. from 1942 
to 1945. As a young man he had developed an interest in 
tool and instrument making. 

.After the war he returned to his study and teaching of 
American history, first at the University of Chicago. The 
author of "The Puritan Family," he has two other works 
in progress, one on "The Stamp .Act Period" and the other 
a biography of the Rev, Ezra Stiles, Ne\vport pastor who 
became an early President of Yale. With Dr. Morgan and 
Dr. Fleming on the interdepartmental committee are 
Profs. James V>. Hedges, ( who, incidentallv, wrote the 
chapter on Oregon, Texas and California in R. .A. Billing- 
ton's recent important work "Westward Expansion: a 
History of the .American Frontier" I , Randall Stewart.

CH.4IRMAN OF 
NEW PROGRAiM: 
He talks here about 
the exciting new work 
in American Civiliza- 
tion and shows whv it 
has validilv. 



BY EDMUND S. MORGAN 

► ► American Civilization is a field of study now open 
to graduate students for the Ph.D. and the M..A. and to 
undergraduates for the B.A., a field in which students ex- 
amine the histoi-y of this country from several different 
points of view. They study its economical and social and 
political history in courses given by the Department of 
History. They study its literature in the English Depart- 
ment; they study its art and architecture. They study its 
government and its political tlu-oiy : they study the works 
of its philosophers. They study its achievements in science 
and technologv. 

This pattern of study has a great many ad\antages for 
anyone interested in understanding the history of a par- 
ticular region or a particular people. The method can of 
course be applied with ecjual \alidity to any people or anv 
region. It would certainly be as useful to studv sav Eng- 
land or France in this way as to study .America. But there 
are ob\ious reasons why it is appropriate for us to concen- 
trate on .America. One reason is that most .Americans are 
more interested in their own country than in other coun- 
tries and better equipped in their own past experience to 
understand their own country. 

Another reason is that the mactrials necessary for the 
study ot .American Civilization are more readilv a\ ailable 
here than materials for the study of any other countiv. .At 
Brown in particular, there are extremely rich resources for 
the study of .American Civilization. The John Carter 
Brown Library is one of the best collections in the countiy 
and therefore in the world, of books published in or about 
.America. Incidentally the John Carter Brown will shortlv

hold an exhibition of original works dealing with Anitri- 
(an daily life in the 17th and 1 8th centuries. The John 
Hay Library has perhaps the largest colleetion in the world 
of American poetry and one of the largest ( ollections f)f 
material relating to Abraham Lincoln. 

► Th?; advantages of approaching a civilization as a 
whole instead of confining one's self to one aspect of it. 
say literature, or art, or politics, has been ably demon- 
strated in recent years by the anthropologists. A genera- 
tion ago social anthropologists used to spend their time in 
< ompiling the apparently similar institutions that exist<d 
in different primitive tribes. Sir James Frazier showed 
how beliefs in witchcraft and in certain types of legends 
prevailed in hundreds of different tribes all o\er the globe. 
Since that time anthropologists ha\e demonstrated that 
this sort of compilation is extremely misleading. Frazier 
and his colleagues had extracted the institutions they were 
examining from their context and had consequently mis- 
understood them. A belief in monogamy might mean 
something altogether different in the Trobriand Islands 
from what it meant in Senegal. Modern anthropologists 
like Malinowski or Benedict concentrate on imderstand- 
ing the whole culture of a single people. 

Now all good anthropologists, as everyone knows, do 
their field work in the South Sea Islands. Or if they can't 
afford the South Sea Islands they go to what is left of the 
American Indian. They deal with so-called primitive 
peoples who have no recorded historv. Hut their method 
is quite as valuable for historians who deal with ci\ ilized 
people who have left records ot their previous beliels and 
achiexements. In fact the historian who neglei ts the total 
content of his subject is in danger of misunderstanding it 
just as the older type of anthropologist misunderstood 
things. 

Perhaps I can best illustrate this point by an example. 
.Sup]jose that you wish to find out something about the 
historv of architecture in this coimtry and suppose, in 
particular, that you wish to find out why the .Americans in 
the ISSO's and 40's began to build those pseudo-Oothit 
residences which strike most people today as atrocious, 
the gingerbread affairs with turrets and gables and deco- 
rated vcrgeboards. If your study the histoiy of architec- 
ture, you will probably find thi' names of a few architects 
who were particularly responsible for introducing this 
stvle. The most arti( ulate of these was a man named 
Andrew Jackson Downing who wrote several books on 
architectme, and if you read the books you find that 
Downing favored this type of architecture because he 
thought that it hannonizcd better with natinc than any 
other type. 

► Now IF vol' ARE GOING to Stick solclv to the history of 
architecture that may be as far as you will get. Kut in 
point of fac t vou have not come ven c lose to understand- 
ing whv this tvpe of architec ture became popular, because 
vou know veiy little about what nature meant to people at 
this time or why they should have supposed the Gothic 
style to be more natural than another. In order to under- 
stand your subject in its c ontext you have got to read 
Ralph Waldo Emerson the philosopher and find out what 
he had to sav about nature. And when you do vou find 
that he had a great deal to say about it, that in fact he 
talked inc essantly about nature and the necessity for plac- 
ing one's self in harmony with it. You go on to read the 
works of Henn Thoreau, Emerson's friend, who went to 
live in the woods for a time in order to see if he could get 
closer to nature in that way. 

Then you study the paintings ol the period and observe 
the great interest in landscapes, and if you read the jour- 



nals and letters of the painters you discover that many of 
them were trying to do in painting what Thoreau tried to 
do in literature, to get at their inner meaning which they 
believed to exist in nature. Then there are the paintings 
by George Catlin of the Indians: Catlin went and lived 
with the Indians because the Indians represented man- 
kind in an unspoiled, natural condition, innocent of the 
corruptions ot c ivilization. Audubon painted the birds in 
the same way, endowing them with emotion and feeling. 

You read Francis Parkman's historical writings, and 
then you read his joiunals, and it becomes apparent that 
Parkman, the Boston snob, was trying to write the History 
of the Americ an Forest. Parkman, in fact, missed one of 
the greatest opportunities a historian ever had, all bcx'ause 
he was more interested in discovering nature and the nat- 
ural man than he was in the great historical events that 
occiared aroimd him. Parkman was on the Oregon Trail 
in one of the most exc iting years of its histoiy, when emi- 
grants were crossing by covered wagon to Oregon and 
California, when the Donner party perished in the High 
Sierras after reverting to cannibalism. Parkman talked 
with many of the men who were taking a leading part in 
building the West, and he wasn't even interested in what 
they were doing. He would have preferred to see the 
whole West maintained as a gigantic sort of park where 
the Indian and the buffalo could be maintained in their 
pristine natural wildness. Parkman too wanted to see 
nature at first hand and to record his vision as the back- 
ground for his Histories of the Indian Wars. 

Thus if one examines the 18!?0's and 1840's as a whole 
it becomes apparent that the architec tural achievements 
which we rc-gard as monstrosities are intimately connected 
in their cone eption w ith some of the literally and artistic 
works which we rank among the gre-atest achievements of 
our civilization: the writings of Emerson and Thoreau 
and Parkman, the paintings of Audubon and Catlin and 
the so-called Hudson Rivc-r School. The aim of the Ameri- 
can Civilization Program is to study the- entire histon of 
the United States in this way. 

► Now THERE ARE TWO OBJECTIONS which arc commonly 
raised against the study of American Civilization. Let me 
raise- these objections myself and answe-r them. The first 
objection is that the whole- c once-ption of an American 
Civilization program is Chauvinistic. It cate-rs to na- 
tionalistic feelings and national pride at a time- when 
nationalisiTi represents one of the principal stumbling 
blocks in the way of world peace. This objection, I think, 
is well taken, but I do not feel that it is borne out by the 
facts. 

It is certainly cone eivable that courses c onne-e ted with 
American history might become a vehic le- for inculcating 
C;hauvinistic sentiments. But to avoid sue h courses for 
that reason is as fcjolish as avoiding courses on Com- 
munism for fear that the- persons who teac h them or the 
persons who take the-m will become Communists. In point 
of fact the persons who to my knowledge are connected 
with the Ame-rican Civilization Programs at the various 
universities in this countiy are far from being Chauvinists. 

On the other hand, it is undeniable that national fe-elings 
exist in this countiy as they do in other countries. In fact, 
nationalism is one of the most potent fac ts of our time. It 
becomes all the more important then that we should un- 
derstand the products and expressions of national senti- 
me-nt, whereby we may even come to understand some- 
thing of nationalism itself. An American Civilization 
Program certainly must concern itself with the meaning of 
American nationalism, but to study our national life does 
not ne-c essarilv mean to promote Chauv inism. 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



► The second objection to the American Civilization 
Program is almost the opposite of the first. It runs some- 
thing like this: Is there any such thing as American Civil- 
ization? Students who concentrate in this field will get a 
smattering of history, a smattering of literature, and com- 
paratively inferior literature at that, a smattering of art 
and philosophy, a smattering of political science. They 
will be dilettantes with a superficial and partial knowledge 
of half a dozen different academic disciplines, but a thor- 
ough knowledge of nothing. 

This objection is the one I have most often met with. 
and I think it is nonsense. It would hold some validity if 
the various departments which are involved in the Ameri- 
can Civilization Program were able to teach their students 
a special techniciue or method. If the History Department 
were able by teaching its students the history of several 
countries to give them a special skill in writing histoiy, a 
skill unattainable by the student who studies only one 
country, if the Political Science Department produced 
politicians and the English Department produced writers 
and the Fine Arts Department produced artists, then this 
argument would hold water. But the fact is that the de- 
partments of a university do not aim at the production of 
special skills or \ocations ; or if they do, they are miserable 
failures. 

If you look at the great writers, the great artists, the 
great historians, the great politicians, how many of them 
were produced by graduate training in English, or fine 
arts, or histoiy. or political science? The Departments of 
a Uni\ersity represent a \ariety of subject matters rather 
than a variety of disciplines or skills, and in many cases a 
department is simply a convenient administrative unit 
that has existed for some time, and that seems to work. 

In establishing a program of American Civilization we 
do not aim at a new organization of departments. One of 
the great curses of education, in my opinion, is the zeal of 
reformers to create a more logical organization and ad- 
ministration of departments. There is nothing wrong 
with the departments as they now stand. They all work 
and they all have a recognizable subject matter. 

But there is no reason to suppose that a student who 
studies American Civilization is studying a less coherent 
subject matter than the student who studies the History 
of Europe since the fall of Rome, or than the student who 
studies English Literature since Beowulf. In fact I think 
that the study of American history, literature, art, philos- 
ophy, and scientific thought will make more sense, will 
cohere better, than will say the history of France in the 
ninth centuiy and the nineteenth, or say the literature of 
England in the Ifith century and that of .America in the 
20th. I don't say that these subjects do not have a con- 
nection, mind you. I merely say that I think the connec- 
tion is stronger between the various aspects of American 
Civilization. 

► Ho\VE\ER, WE DO TRV to bring the various aspects of 
American Civilization together. I personally don't know 
what the connection may be between the writers and ar- 
tists and scientists of a given period in America. But I 
think it ver\' likely that there is some kind of connection, 
perhaps a different kind in different periods. In order to 
examine this cjucstion we have instituted two new courses, 
which are the only courses ofTered specifically by the 
American Civilization Program apart from a regular De- 
partment. One is a seminar for graduate students in which 
we examine a particular movement or topic in American 
history from a variety of different points of view. Last 
year, the seminar studied the impact of Darwinism on 



.\merican thought. We had papers on the effect of Dar- 
winism in biology, in literature, in political thought, in 
philosophy, and in social ideals. There were more papers 
dealing with the effect of Darwinism in Religion and the 
connection of Darwinism with American Imperalism. 

The other course, which was not gi\en last vear, is a 
conference course for Seniors in the College who are con- 
centrating or, I should say, who we hope will concentrate 
in the field. This will be a more general course which will 
have to proceed without the minute examination of orig- 
inal sources that we expect of graduate students, but it 
will be aimed at achieving the same purpose, at trying to 
perceive the kind of connections that exist between dif- 
ferent aspects of American Civilization. 

I could say that these courses were designed to inte- 
grate the work done in the various departments. However, 
I wish to avoid that word integrate which seems to be %'er)' 
popular in edut ational lingo today, because it assumes 
the answer before you begin. I am not at all sure that we 
will find any integration between the different aspects of 
our subject. Some connection I think there must be, if 
only a connection in time and space, but what sort of con- 
nection is the question which we hope to answer. In other 
words, if I may be pardoned for ending where I began, 
we're not certain what American Civilization is, but on 
the other hand, like the Vermont fanner in the familiar 
ston', "we ain't lost." i 




FROM THE LMVERSm OF MICHIGAN to Brown Ini- 
versity came greetings this fall of a particularly graceful 
sort. They noted the 100th anniversary year of the gradua- 
tion of James Burrill .\ngell from Brown, "from whose 
doors he went forth 'duly qualified for disrharging the 
Offices of Life with usefulness and reputation.* " lie was

ported higher education in other parts of the ciiuntry."

1949 Football's Frantic Finale < < 



► ► Rip Engle left Brown Field shoulder-high for his 
Thanksgiving dinner this year, hoisted by his players. He 
and 18,000 in the stadium had seen them play frustrated 
and then miraeulous football in eoming from behind to 
beat Colgate 41-26 in the last eontest of the best Brown 
season sinee 1932. The New York Times observer ealled 
it the "most frenetic game played this fall." 

Colgate had gone nowhere all season, while Brown had 
lost only once. But "The Spoilers" from the Chenango 
Valley had disregarded such odds many and many a time 
in Providence before. Now they were to know heartbreak, 
too. They led the Bear 19-7 at the half. Then, to the 
dismay of all but a few in the large crowd, they added 
another in the third period. It was from such depths that 
Brown fought back to win against unbelievable odds with 
four touchdowns in about six minutes of the final period. 
Has there ever been such scoring in such a situation? 

The day started auspiciously enough. Seven plays were 
enough to score in an 82-yard march, that featured two 
forwards by Joe Paterno and a touchdown bui k by ^'oung. 
But then Colgate began to score with such impressi\c ease 
on breakaway plays and long forwards that nothing 
seemed likely to change the trend. The first important 
plav went 76 yards, combining a forward with a lateral. 
A blocked punt, two passes totalling .54 yards, and the 
Raiders had the lead, adding a third touc hdown after a 
pass interception at midfield and a pass-fed march. 

Brown's own errors were giving it trouble — backfield 
bobbles, dropped punts, and carelessly thrown forwards. 
In \ ain. Engle pulled evei-ything out of the bag, including 
a tricky reverse with Nelson (of all people) completing a 
long forward to Mahoney. But each effort fell short of the 
goal. There was a hopeful sigh at the half: surelv. the 
Bear would regain its poise during the inter\al. 

Brown did, indeed, start to roll. But a fumbled pit( h- 
out was recovered by the enemy on its 48, followed e\ en- 
tuallv by a shovel pass out to the flank and a 3.5-yard sc or- 
ing run. We were 19 points behind, and behind an in- 
spired underdog that knew its chance. It didn't seem to 
matter that Colgate was running out of fuel. It didn't 
seem to matter that the Brown defendei-s had by now 
sohed Kelly's aerial game. It didn't seem to help any- 
thing but the statistics that the linesmen were smearing 
the Maroon backs, swarming in to throw them for losses. 
I Colgate gained a minus-si.x yards in the last half.) The 
points were on the scoreboard and we couldn't seem to 
work fast enough to cut down the margin. 

Midway in the third period, another Brown attempt 
was checked. Forced to kick, the Bear got his important 
break when Scarles jarred the safety man with a tackle 
and recovered the fumble on the Colgate 37. On the next 
play George Paterno had clearance through center, with 
traps at the line and a block at the five — he went all the 
way. Now we were 12 points behind, and the clock was 
racing. Two promising threats went for nothing (once 
Mahoney missed a 60-yard pass in the end zone when it 
bounded off his finger tips). It was maddening to see 
these last opportunities go by. W'c just couldn't sustain 
our attack. 

Though the Brown line was tearing holes in the opposi- 
tion, there were less than seven minutes left. Egler, the 
visitors' star, was now being driven backward everv time

he tried to ( arry. He dropped the ball on his 32-yard line. 
Confining its offense to rimning plays, the Bear seized on 
this new ( hance, and Linker s( ored. It was now 26-20, 
still their fa\or. Colgate tried to hold possession but 
I ouldn't. Three more plays for Brown tied it up: another 
Nelson pass, to Searles, a Joe Paterno 40-yard "keep" 
through guard, and a pitch to Mahoney. 

We haxen't mentioned Joe Condon yet, have we? The 
hero of the Columbia game had just missed converting 
after the third touchdown — it was only his sixth miss in 
44 tries. None of the 38 previous points-after had really 
been important in deciding any game. This one was, and 
it \\as good. That w^as the game, and we'd have gladly 
let it rest there. 

It so happened that there were 3'/i minutes left to play. 
It so happened that Brown had two bonus touchdowns as 
Colgate gambled to get back on top, though no one, even 
its own players, seemed to think there was any hope for 
them now. Joe Paterno made a spectacular interception 
of a pass on his 41, running it back to the opposing 21. 
There his brother George, playing his best offi-nsive game 
of all time, went through w hile the line did some trapping. 
The final touchdown was the result of a bad pass from 
center on fourth down, with Brown taking over on the 
four-yard line. Green went over from there. 

\Vithout the accompanying .scores, the statistics would 
ha\e been no solace to Brown, favorable as they wen-. 
Brown made 19 first downs to 9, netted 321 yards rushing 
to 42 for Colgate. Aggregate on passing gain was within 
a yard of the opposition's, 1 76 for Brown to 1 75. Brow n 
completed 14 of 24. Colgate 7 of 14. The number of 
fumbles and half-fumbles was mercifully omitted. 

It was a ner\e-wracking, exhausting triumph that no 
one in the stands will ever forget. As all season long, it 
was a team performance to which ev'ervbody contributed. 
.All our hats are off to a great club, whi( h in its farewell 
played some of its poorest and its best football and 
achieved its greatest victory of all. 

Brown tied Penn for second place in the Ivy League, 
behind Cornell, eadi with a single defeat. i 



1950'' s Football Schedule Is Rugged 

► The best home schedule in recent years appears on 
the list of football engagements for Brown University in 
1950. Princeton, Columbia, Colgate, and Rhode Island 
State are listed for Brown Field in Pro\idence, while the 
team will take the road to face Pennsylvania, Yale, Har- 
vard, Rutgers, and Holy Cross. While the location of sev- 
eral games has changed, seven of the 1949 opponents re- 
appear on the schedule, with Penn and Rutgers replacing 
Western Reserve and Lehigh. Obviously, it makes a 
rougher road for the 1950 Varsity to travel, particularly 
with the loss of 1 7 Seniors who have completed their Col- 
lege play. Five of the games are in the Ivy League, where 
Brown finished second in 1949. 

The Penn game will be played at Franklin Field, Phila- 
delphia, on next Armistice Day. This will be the 24th meet- 
ing between the old rivals and comes the week after the 
Army-Penn game. The Princeton contest will highlight 
the Homecoming Weekend in Providence, Oct. 21. The 
Tigers have not played in Rhode Island since 1933. An- 
other feature of the home schedule comes in the visit of 
Columbia for the Thanksgiving Day attraction in Provi- 
dence on Nov. 30. Colgate, which has filled that date on 
many an occasion, will come to town earlier in the season. 
As was the case two years ago, the Yale game opens the 
schedule, providing the East with an attraction unusually 
fine for so early in the fall. 

The complete schedule: Sept. 30 — Yale, away. Oct. 7 
— Holy Cross, away. Oct. 14 — Rhode Island, home. Oi t. 
21 — Princeton, home. Oct. 28 — Colgate, home. Nov. 4 — 
Rutgers, away. Nov. 1 1 — Pennsylvania, away. Nov. 18 — 
Harvard, away. Nov. 30 — Columbia, home. i 



CIhss Reunions in 1950 

► To all Class Officers and Reunion Committees: 

The Association of Class Secretaries believes in 
maintaining and developing the Class as a unit, in 
order that each alumnus may enjoy the maximum 
benefit from his College associations. To achieve 
this objective emphasis is being placed upon the 
importance of Class gatherings and particularly 
Commencement reunions. 

In 1950 Commencement occurs on June 5th. 
Alumni Commencement activities will begin on 
June 2nd. Some 25 Classes are already well along 
with their reunion planning, and it is hoped that 
every Class will hold a reunion either separately or 
with some other Class. 

The change of date for Commencement means 
that headquarters for reunions, particularly at sum- 
mer resorts, will be limited. Committees on arrange- 
ments will be obliged to rely more than ever upon 
local facilities. To insure proper accommodations 
Class officers and committees should make their 
arrangements now. With your co-operation we can 
make 1950 the biggest reunion year in Brown history. 

If you need information or other assistance, call 
or write the Alumni Secretary, William B. McCor- 
mick. Alumni House, Brown University.

Chairman of Association of Class Secretaries.

Heads Slum Clearance Program 

► The Government's new slum clearance and urban 
redevelopment program, set up under the housing act, will 
be administered by Nathaniel S. Keith '29, who has been 
employed in Federal housing agencies since 1940. The 
assignment calls for passing out a billion and a half of the 
taxpayers' dollars to get rid of city slums. The new pro- 
gram "really gets at the heart of the difficulties that have 
been preventing any substantial slum clearance," he says. 
He regards his new job as his toughest assignment, not only 
because of the money involved in loans and outright grants 
but becau.se of what he believes is the opportunity for con- 
ferring real benefit on the country. 

A former Broivn Daily Herald editor with a Phi Beta 
Kappa key, Keith went to the Wall Street Journal when 
he was graduated. He covered automobile, railroad, avia- 
tion, and rubber industries news in New York until 1938, 
when he went to Washington as staflF correspondent, spe- 
cializing in Government finance. He sei-ved on PM as 
financial editor. 

His first two assignments in the Government were in 
public relations for the Federal Housing Administration 
and the National Housing Agency. He became special 
assistant to the National Housing Administrator during 
the latter part of the war housing program in 1944 and 
has been assistant to the Administrator of the Housing and 
Home Finance Agency since its establishment in 1947. i 

At Lake Erie College 

► Lake Erie College's Vice-President is Alfred T. Hill 
'33. He was for some years in the preparatory school field 
as instructor at Gushing Academy and Culver. While at 
Culver he received a grant through the Alexander Fleet 
Memoiial Fund to prepare an experimental course in 
Modern Literature and Composition at the Hanard Sum- 
mer School English workshop, which has been used in the 
secondary schools with success. He is the author of 
"Campus and Classroom," and has written and lectured 
on the Grenfell Mission which he served summers while 
an undergraduate at Brown. His great-great-grandfather 
was John Merrill, Brown 1792. i 

Offspring of the Blue Cross 

► When Health Service, Inc., was incorporated re- 
cently, Antone G. Singsen '38, Blue Cross executive, be- 
came its Vice-President. He had been Assistant Director 
of the Blue Cross Commission of the American Hospital 
Association in Chicago for three years (and continues in 
that post) . The Commission is the national co-ordinating 
agency for the 90 Blue Cross Plans in the United States 
and Canada. Health Service, Inc., is an extension of its 
activity, and will be the operating agency, enrolling mem- 
bers and sen-icing accounts. Singsen was previously in 
Blue Cross work in Rhode Island and Connecticut before 
going to the national office. i 

Brightman to Blackstone Mutual 

► William T. Brightman, Jr., '21 was elected Executive 
Vice-President and Director of the Blackstone Mutual 
Fire Insurance Company in September. He had been con- 
nected with What Cheer Mutual Fire Insurance Company 
for nearly 25 years, most recently in the position of Vice- 
President and Engineer. Both companies are members of 
the Associated Factoiy Mutual group with headquarters 
in Providence, and Brightman's new work will in general 
correspond with duties previously performed for What 
Cheer. i 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 

Further Headway M 

► ► Last word we've had on the Housing and Develop- 
ment Campaign comes from Rhode Island Chairman 
H. S. McLeod '16, who early in December was pushing 
his workers to complete their job before the middle of the 
month. It's the last round-up of the general alumni cam- 
paign in that State, he said. 

"Briefly," he said, "the general campaign is raising 
more money this time than it did two years ago. Two- 
thirds of those reported throughout the country have con- 
tributed. In Rhode Island our record for participation is 
as good as it is anywhere — so far. Gifts at this time will 
help to qualify for Mr. Rockefeller's conditional contribu- 
tion of $400,000. Equally important, it will help us estab- 
lish a new record for college giving because so far more 
Brown alumni have responded to this campaign than to 
any campaign that we know of undertaken by a men's 
college. We are well ahead of other Eastern universities." 

Speaking briefly before a gathering of Class captains 
and solicitors on the campus Nov. 22, President Wriston 
showed how the national situation had its particular ap- 
plication to Brown. "Those who read the New York 
Times saw a stoiy by Ben Fine start on the first page and 
continue on two inside pages with mountains of data about 
the building problems confronting every college. The first 
need everywhere was for classroom buildings — Brown 
concentrated its new classrooms in one building, erected 
at the lowest cost. The next need everywhere has been for 
student housing, due to enrollment growth and the new 
postwar situation. Brown addressed this problem next, 
too — no different from the others." 

Now the alumni and other friends of Brown could see 
progress: buildings were down or moved, cement had 
been poured for much of the Refectoiy, the project was 
on the move, and commitments had been made, with con- 
tracts that meant something. 

"The policies were long ago determined," Dr. Wriston 
reminded the gathering. "The rooms are the same, 
whether for fraternity men or non-fraternity. There are 
lounges for the non-fraternity men just as there are in the 
chapter areas. Generally speaking, apart from the fact 
that the non-fraternity men will not be organized (and so 
will not need such a room as a chapter room ) , they will 
have about as much recreational space." 

Since the issuing of the last campaign pamphlet, with 
its excellent pictorial presentation, there had been two 
rearrangements of buildings, the President said. But in 
general the picture was right. Now the working drawings 
were well along for Building No. 1, and each of the nine 
residential buildings would require its own drawings. One 
could not be hasty on these final decisions — "you can't 
second guess in cement." But it was heartening to all to 
see the latter phases revealing themselves. 

"On each visit you make," Dr. Wriston told the cam- 
paigners, "let the cause go in. That is the stimulus which 
opens pocket books." 

Legion's Quarterback 

► After 10 years as Editor, Alexander Gardiner '14 has 
become Advisory Editor of the American Legion Maga- 
zine, thus bringing to a close a 25-year Brunonian tenure 
of the top editorship of this veterans' publication. It be- 
gan in March, 1924, when John T. Winterich '12 became 
Editor. 

This does not, of course, mean retirement for Larry 
Gardiner, who nominated his successor, Joseph C. Keeley, 



Which Building Do You Choose? 

► Allotment of locations in the new Quadrangle 
will be made according to policy determined by the 
Graduate Fraternity Advisory Committee, President 
Wriston told Rhode Island campaign workers as 
they began their pre-Christmas round-up for the 
Housing and Development Fund. 

He said he felt there was no advantage to a fra- 
ternity in choosing one building in the Quadrangle 
over another. "If I were to have to choose for a 
fraternity," he said, "I would be willing to shake dice 
or draw lots. Each fraternity section has the same 
cubic area for the same normal occupancy and the 
same device for expanding or contracting the space. 
Whether the chapter wants 20 or 45 in residence, 
the chapter house will be full at all times. None will 
be burdened by paying for space not occupied." i 



Marine Corps veteran. The latter had sei-ved for more 
than three years as Executive Editor, and his promotion 
is in line with a Legion policy to advance World War II 
men to top executive positions. Gardiner continues on the 
job. As some one wrote us, "Since the Legion is 70% 
WW2, it was felt that the quarterback on the Magazine 
team should be of that vintage." But Gardiner has kept 
it a distinguished publication of vast influence. i 

The University Population 

► Undergraduate men at Brown this semester number 
3030, according to November figures of the Recorder, 
William A. Jewett '41. In Pembroke there are 883 stu- 
dents. Broken down by classes, the statistics show the fol- 
lowing in the College: Freshmen 627. Sophomores 667. 
Juniors 801. Seniors 913 (48 completed requirements for 
degrees during the summer). Specials 22. At Pembroke 
the figures are : Freshmen 246. Sophomores 208. Juniors 
199. Seniors 207. Specials 15. Nursing Sc.B. candidates 8. 

Something of the problems confronting the Commence- 
ment Committee may be gathered when one notes that 
1177 Seniors will be eligible for degrees, compared with 
898 in June 1949. Of the latter, 698 were men and 208 
women. 

Of the 961 men, 757 are A.B. candidates, 153 engineers, 
38 chemists, and 14 physicists. The principal increase is 
in the A.B. category where 501 received degrees last June. 

The College population will shrink somewhat with the 
start of the second semester inasmuch as 1 70 men will have 
completed requirements for their degrees. A 

The Historical Catalogue 

► A SECOND CALL GOES OUT to thosc Brunonians who have 
not yet filled out and returned the biographical blanks 
supplied them in the interest of the new edition of the 
Brown Univerity Historical Catalogue. In Alumni House 
a staff of three, headed by Mrs. Vincent D' Atri, Pembroke 
'21, has made great headway with the mass of material 
already provided, but their data are by no means complete. 
If the individul does not provide the information directly, 
the editors of course must rely on the accumulated ma- 
terial in the alumni files. In the interests of full accuracy, 
the individual should furnish his own facts. 

The enterprise is the first directory of Brown Alumni 
since the edition of 1934. The demand for a new volume, 
readily understood if one merely recalls that 15 large 
classes have been graduated since the last, is further 
evidenced in the number of copies already ordered. Print- 
ing estimates have been increased from 2000 to 3000. i

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



For Brunonian Bookshelves < M 



In a World Society 

^ We've read enough in "The United 
States in World Histor\" to know that it 
is a fine, solid study of the development 
of our country as a member of the world 
society. Without waiting to finish its 750 
pages, we want to commend it to our 
serious readers at once in the event they 
are making out Christmas desiderata lists. 

Obviously, the book is broad in its scope ; 
it is also detailed in its exposition, from the 
time of the organizing of the new nation 
as a member of the world community and 
carrying down to our present pre-eminence 
in international leadership (actually 
through the last presidential election). Not 
only the political but also the intellectual, 
economic, social, and moral aspects of such 
a relationship are covered. Its style is 
readable, with no sacrifice in scholarship, 
for a vast amount of material has been 
e.xpertly distilled. A fine job of book- 
making gives another assist to the authors' 
purpose. 

The writers are John B. Rae '32, former- 
ly of the Brown Faculty, now Associate 
Professor at M. I. T., and his colleague 
there, Thomas H. D. Mahoney. TTie text- 
book came out of their teaching experi- 
ence, obviously based on a desire to give 
American history a better setting in the 
world scheme. Even a superficial observa- 
tion must lead to the conclusion that they 
have succeeded admirably. It is a major 
work in its field and will command a con- 
tinuing respect. (McGraw-Hill .$5.) 4 

Miller's Community" 

► In "The Community of Man" Prof. 
Hugh Miller '21 has been successful in 
formulating a philosophy from biological 
concepts, one reader reports. "It is the 
most satisfactory statement of creative 
evolution, since it uses the dynamic con- 
cepts of contemporary genetic theory . . . 
it deals with important questions in a 
challenging way. 

One of Miller's conclusions is that we 
must turn from creed and doctrine to 
science (".■Ml that is not science is neces- 
sarily infected with fear. He also sees the 
world split between "two difTerent relig- 
ious, philosophical, and intellectual tra- 
ditions . . . this head-on collision between 
individualistic and collectivistic ideals." 
His recommendation is to live and let 
live, as our best political hope. 

The new Macmillan book is Miller's 
fourth, following "History and Science," 
"Christian Truth in History," and ".^n 
Historical Introduction to Modern Phil- 
osophy." He is Professor of Philosophy at 
UCL.'\. Though an .American citizen, he 
is a native of England, has lived there and 
in Germany, has traveled in Canada and 
Japan. He was for a year on the Brown 
Faculty. i 

The Mocking Perelman 

^ We've been looking at the reviews of 
"Listen to the Mocking Bird ' by S. J. 
Perelman '25, and the headings on them 
give you the idea: "Matchless Aromas" 
and "Mother Lodes of Merriment " — that 
sort of thing. There's no need to identify 
"America's Number One Literary Humor- 
ist" to his fellow Brunonians nor to recall 
that he served his apprenticeship on The 
Brown Jng. .■Ml that is necessary is to note 
that in his new book, we have a collection 
of typical writings by the mock-raker. 



He browses through the ads, with obser- 
vations. He tangles with the Luce-mag- 
azines, with the movies, the comics, and 
modern art. There is some unfinished busi- 
ness from his last book "Westward Ha " 
( Lisle Bell called it a global gander) , based 
on his commissioned rovings for Holiday. 
But the most alluring ventures are the New 
Yorker pieces called "Cloudland Re- 
visited." He dares to look again at those 
red-hot classics of his youth by Elinor Glyn, 
E. M. Hull, and Gertrude Atherton. Of 
course, our favorite was the one which 
brought back to Perelman the purple inci- 
dent of the parked corsets and the Hearst 
story on passion at Brown. 

The book has the drawings by Perel- 
man's partner in purple, Hirschfeld. The 
price of $2.95 comes from the nickel that 
the author wants to put in circulation. 
(Simon and Schuster. ) i 




PERELMAN POISED: One of Hirsch- 
feld's caricatures in their new book,

Where to Ski 

^ Once, says their publisher, Joan and 
David Landman (he's Brown 1939) 
planned a Christmas holiday trip to Can- 
ada. But they found that picking a place 
in the Laurentians required more than a 
train ride north. They became lost in a 
pile of scenic and uninformative pamphlets 
and finally spent Christmas on the slopes 
of Central Park. They decided then and 
there that what this country needed was a 
good where-to-ski book. "Where to Ski' is 
its title; Houghton Mifflin is its publisher 
at $3.50; and its editors and authors are — 
guess who. 

Comprehensive planning of every de- 
tail preceded the Landmans' Ski-day, 
.■\pril 12, 1948, when the first letters of in- 
quiry went out to get the facts for "Where 
to Ski." As free-lance writers for Collier's, 
Pageant, This Week, and others, both 
Joan and David Landman had the experi- 
ence and the background for their task. 
David was particularly well qualified be- 
cause of his work in organizing the research 
for the Look magazine nine-volume "Look 
at .America" travel book series. 

As the authors say at the outset, the book 
"doesn't tell you how to prevent frostbite. 
Or where to place the flags when laying out 
a slalom course. Nor does it tell you how 
to ski." Rather, it's a place guide for those 



who are going to roam in their skiing. 
"The word-of-mouth method of transmit- 
ting slope data has yielded to the printed 
page." The information includes: char- 
acteristics of slopes and trails, tows and 
rates, nearest housing, meals, transporta- 
tion, plus some blithe history. 

Harry Hoffman '25 of Cleveland, who 
taught more than 20,000 soldiers to ski at 
Camp Hale during the war and has ram- 
bled considerablv to ski, says: "Good 
stuff." i 

Old English 

► The gre.\t m.-^rket for "The Literature 
of the .■\nglo-Saxons" by Prof. George K. 
.Anderson of Brown's English Department 
obviously will be in courses which require 
a good text on the subject. But we've read 
this work for information and pleasure — 
an agreeable and enlightening experience, 
which we humbly commend. 

To begin with, it is a superbly made book 
(Princeton Press. $5.00), and that is part 
of the joy of possession. But it is also fine 
teaching in what might be a forbidding 
field to the careless. "I believe that it is 
high time to look at Old English literature 
not as a mere repository for the English 
language in its oldest historical state but as 
a storehouse, necessarily somewhat inacces- 
sible, of the records, the thoughts and im- 
portant deeds, of a clearly-defined, vital, 
and altogether basic period of English lit- 
erature ... I have tried to describe suc- 
cinctly such Old English literature as has 
been left to us . . . Literature must always 
speak for itself, directly to the intelligent 
reader. " That was the author's prospectus. 
He has fulfilled his hope admirably, effec- 
ively, and pleasantly. 

.\ true scholar's work is his passion. 
When he is master of it, he proceeds in- 
evitably to enlist the interest of others in 
that which rules his life. .And scholars are 
naturally distressed when the layman 
thinks it pertinent to say that their spe- 
cialty, thoroughly, honestly, and ably ex- 
pounded, is revealed as not monotonous or 
dusty. The comment would not be so gen- 
eral if the product of scholarship were 
always a book like George .Anderson's. 4 

The Gilbreths 

^ With no designs on hilarity, like 
"Cheaper by the Dozen," Edna Yost's 
more formal history of "Frank and Lillian 
Gilbreth: Partners for Life' nevertheless 
earns its way. (Rutgers University Press, 
$5.) 

Mrs. Gilbreth took her Ph.D. at Brown 
in 1915, returning in 1931 for an honor- 
ary degree. Her technical competence and 
writing ability helped her husband's work 
in the field of motion study and allied 
industrial engineering: and there was pro- 
fessional fame enough for both. She was 
named "Woman of the Year " last fall by 
the .American Women's .Association, and 
has had many citations. 

One of the Gilbreth children, made 
famous in "Cheaper by the Dozen, " was 
Fred, Brown 1938. He played a relatively 
minor role in the story of the family ex- 
travaganza, being younger than the others. 
He was born in Buttonwoods, R. I., in a 
gale, arriving just as the doctor did. 

"Fred headed the utilities committee 
and collected the fines." Once he found 
someone had left a faucet dripping and 
the tub was full of water. Brother Jack 
had been asleep for more than an hour, but 
Fred woke him, ordering him in to take 
a bath so as not to waste the tubful. Why 
didn't Fred take the bath himself? His 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



time was morning — that was the schedule. 
And so, though Jack had had a bath al- 
ready that night, he had another. 

The new book is not the best-seller that 
the other was, though with the same prin- 
cipal hero and heroine. On the other hand, 
it was not a quickie rushed out to capital- 
ize on "Cheaper" and walks pleasantly 
where the other frolics, informs where the 
other amuses. 4 

yantucket Fervor 

y "The Coffin Saga" was Nantucket's 
story from the settlement to the day of the 
Summer Visitor. Now, another of the affec- 
tionate volumes of Will Gardner '95, has 
had an enthusiastic press and a good mar- 
ket, as it deserves. 

"Tristram and Dionis Coflfin arrived in 
Massachusetts in 1642. Eight years after 
their landing from Devon, their descend- 
ants numbered more than 1500, ancestors 
of the widely spread and celebrated Cofhn 
family. The "Saga" deals with the coming 
of Tristram to the Island, the Coffin fleet 
of whaleships, the whale oil sent to George 
Washington, the notable houses the Coffins 
built, their interest in schools and libraries, 
and the trees, shrubs, and heather they 
planted to make the sandy isle a joy to all. 
The book has the imprint of The Whaling 
Museum Publications. 

"Three Bricks and Three Brothers " is 
the logical companion book to the other. 
Joseph Starbuck never went whaling, but 
he put many a harpooner next to a whale. 
This Nantucket whale oil merchant sent 
many ships on adventurous and profitable 
voyages. His shipyards, tryworks, cooper- 
shops, and warehouses were important to 
the American economy as well as the 
Islands. For his three sons he built three 
identical brick mansions on Main Street, 
which today command the interest of 
thousands of admiring summer folk.

► Howard Hunt'.s "Bimini Run" (Far- 
rar, Straus $2.75) had been sold to the 
movies before it was off the press, and it 
is the sort of violent, rapid yarn that will 
lend itself well. Its setting is Miami and 
the game-fishing waters off Bimini, which 
the camera will not neglect in recording 
action and color. 

The principal episode is centered in the 
conflict between Clay Crawford, who 
bought himself a beautiful wife; the girl, 
who made the bad bargain ; the skipper of 
the charter boat; and especially Hank 
Sturgis, a worldly stalwart who could tend 
bar but not his own business. Hank went 
along to cook and serve the drinks and 
become Involved. All of them, including 
the welsher who even ran out on the plot, 
are thoroughly unpleasant people but the 
sort who know their way around melo- 
drama to advantage. 

This is not of the stature of Hunt's war 
books, but he is a sound, never timid 
story-teller. You'll read it rapidly, as its 
pace commends, and you won't relax over 
it. When he writes, he knows where he's 
going. 

Two of Hunt's other books are due for 
reprints in the 25<' field, we understand, 
if they are not already out: "Stranger in 
Town" and "Maelstrom." He's finished 
another, based on his OSS experiences in 
China, with the title "Wall of Dust," 
(which may later have been renamed "Day 
of the Serpent"). After his recent honey- 
moon he was squaring away on book num- 
ber six called "Paris 8"."

THE BOOKS and the bees. Aldren H. 
Hale, Jr., '31 goes further. (See box 
below.) 

For "Prov-Wash''s" Anniversary 

^ The face of Providence has been al- 
tered notably with the completion of the 
new home office building of the Providence 
Washington Insurance Company, directly 
across North Main St. from the First Bap- 
tist Meeting House. Its architects are those 
of the Brown Quadrangle and Andrews 
Hall at Pembroke, Perry, Shaw& Hepburn ; 
its contractor was the Gilbane Construc- 
tion Company (Thomas and William Gil- 
bane '33) . 

The dedication of the new building was 
an important feature of the company's 
150th anniversary. Another was the pub- 
lication of "Providence Washington Insur- 
ance Company, 1799-1949" by William 
Greene Roelker, Librarian of the R. I. His- 
torical Society, and Clarkson A. Collins, 
III, '33, research aide. The book, hand- 
somely illustrated, was the product of the 
printers of this magazine, Roger Williams 
Press in Providence. While the story is 
that of the company, it is in part an eco- 
nomic history of the State, and there are 
a number of Brunonian names and ref- 
erences. The early by-laws, for example, 
made such provision that "the annual 
Commencement of the College, with which 
most of the directors were closely con- 
nected, was added to the list of holidays 
on which the office would be closed." 



The authors acknowledge the aid of 
such authorities as Prof. James B. Hedges 
of Brown and John Hutchins Cady '03. 
The company is the senior insurance com- 
pany in New England and the third oldest 
in the nation. The book is a worthy record.

War Production Controls 

► How THE United States expanded its 
production from $88.6 billion in pre-war 
1939 to a wartime peak of $198.7 billion in 
1945 is the story of "Wartime Production 
Controls, " written by Prof. David Novick 
'29, last year at the University of Puerto 
Rico, and two colleagues. The book bears 
the imprint of the Columbia University 
Press. ($6.) 

The book analyzes the methods used for 
planning and directing the economy and 
selects the good and bad features of the 
wartime operation. 

Before the war Prof. Novick was Chief 
Economist of the U. S. Tariff Commission. 
From 1941 to 1 944 Prof. Novick was Con- 
troller of the War Production Board (using 
the term in the British sense of controlling 
production and distribution of specific ma- 
terials and products.) The following year 
he was Director of Program and Statistics 
for WPB. .After the fall of Japan he di- 
rected the Bureau of Demobilization, 
which liquidated the wartime controls. 
Since 1947, when he went to Puerto Rico 
as visiting professor, he has gone to Wash- 
ington frequently as consultant for the 
Munitions Board, Department of National 
Defense and the National Security Re- 
sources Board. The distillation of all that 
experience has gone into the 425-page 
book. ^ 

Some Book !\otes 
^ "Judgment by Peers" is a recent addi- 
tion to the Harvard series of historical 
monographs (Harvard University Press 
$2.50). It is by Dean Barnaby C. Keeney 
of the Brown Graduate School. A Provi- 
dence reviewer says: "To an amateur's 
eye, anyway, it bears the stamp of the solid 
contribution. " It goes from feudal times, 
on through the 12th and 13th Centuries 
and with special reference to kings and 
barons, coming finally to the writing of the 
Ma,gna Carta. 

"A Glossary of the New Criticism " by 
William Elton of the Department of Eng- 
lish is available in pamphlet form (Poetry, 
Chicago, $1.) Its first appearance was as 
a serial in Poetry; it has a new introduction 
as a pamphlet. 

Tyler Micoleau, who wrote "Power Ski- 
ing Illustrated," is identified as a former 
teacher in the Art Department at Brown. 
His father, killed in the first World War, 
was Prof. Henri F. Micoleau of our Ro- 
mance Language Department. 



Bee Book for a First 

► Allen Latham was a teen-age country boy that June day in 1885 when he 
decided to go after a colony of bees that had homed 30 feet up a tree. He reached 
them by splicing two ladders together, but, in loading his bee smoker, he made the 
mistake of adding tobacco to the fuel. The emerging bees, partially stupefied by 
this smoke, proceeded to cluster upon young Latham's back and shoulders. He 
climbed down and walked home, back hunched — lest he dislodge the bees. 

That incident made his reputation as a beekeeper, and today some people call 
him the greatest beemaster of the century. 

We mention all this because he has written a book — "Allen Latham's Bee Book," 
out in December. But the point of greater interest to Brunonians is the fact its 
publication marks the entry of the Hale Publishing of Hapeville, Ga., (in Greater 
Atlanta! into the book publishing field. .-Mdren H. Hale, Jr., '31 is its President. 

The first book is a logical one since Hale Publishing Company publishes Bees, 
national beekeepers monthly. The Hale list will include books in other fields, but 
the continuing interest in bees is indicated. ^

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 

First .\egro Professor 

► The first Negro ever to be appointed 
to the Brown University Faculty, Jay 
Saunders Redding, Brown '28, is Visiting 
Professor of English at Brown for the first 
semester. Redding, who is a professor of 
English at Hampton Institute, Hampton, 
Va., is lecturing in his specialty, "the' 
Negro m American Literature," as well as 
teaching other courses in the English 
Department. His special course, which in- 
cludes a study of .American writing bv and 
about Negroes with emphasis upon their 
racial life and character, is being given for 
both graduate and undergraduate students. 
Mr. Redding is one of the greatest 
living authorities on the subject of the 
Negro in American literature," Prof. Ran- 
dall Stewart, chairman of the department, 
points out. "His services are unusual since' 
few courses of this t>pe are offered in the 
L nited States and there are few qualified 
teachers." 

Author of two books. To Make a Poe' 
Black, published in 1939, and No Day of 
Triumph, which won the Mavflower 
.Award for distinguished writing iri 1944 
Redding took Bachelor of Philosophy and 
Master of Arts degrees at Brown in 1928 
and 1932 respectively. He was Phi Beta 
Kappa. After spending an additional year 
at Brown, he took further work at Colum- 
bia Universitv during 1933-34 

Between 1928 and 1931 he taught at 
Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., and was 
head of the English Department at 
Southern University, Baton Rouge La 
from 1934 to 1936. Before joining the 
Hampton Faculty in 1943, he headed the 
English Department at State Teachers 
C:ollege, Elizabeth City, N. C. for six 
\ears. 

Under the sponsorship of the Rocke- 
feller Foundation and the University of 
North Carolina in 1940, Redding did field 
research in gathering Southern folk ma- 
terials for course use, and in 1945 he was 
awarded a Guggenheim fellowship. Visit- 
ing lecturer for the Race Relations Com- 
mittee of the .American Friends Service 
Committee, he is the author of numerous 
articles and essays appearing in the North 
American Review, the Atlantic Monthly, 
Harper's, the American Mercury, the 
Artierican Scholar and others, and has 
written book reviews for the New Republic 
and the Saturday Reviezv of Literature. At 
present he is at work on a third book. Last 
year he was honored with an invitation to 
the summer colony for artists and writers, 
Yaddo. ^ 



Under Navy Auspices 

► For Navy veterans, it was natural to 
turn to the Officers' Club at the Boston 
Navy Yard the day of the Harvard game. 
Recorder William .A. Jewett, one of them, 
took muster, recording the names of the 
Brunonians he knew (admittedlv, there 
were others): H. Eliot Rice, W. .A. Mc- 
Clelland, John B. Crosby, K. N. Mever. 
Earl Dane, Woody Gorman, William 
Glenn, H. Clinton Owen, Donald Clayton, 
Bud Gilbane, Francis Parkhurst, John 
.Andrews, Bill Potter, James Butler, and 
Henry Eldridge. ^

BROW> ALUMNI MONTHLY 



A Title for the Booters m a 



>pir Eiifslnnil Chumps 

► With a defeat of the national cham- 
pion UConn team as its prize performance, 
the Brown soccer delegation swept with- 
out a loss to the New England title this 
fall and came back to take a respectable 
position in Ivy League competition as well. 

It was a season which started on a high 
note when Penn, which lost only two con- 
tests last year, was set down 3-1. Then, 
although general play continued of high 
quality and the defense was superb, thi 
scoring punch was lost against Navy. 
Princeton, and Yale. They were all games 
which could have been won if only a few ol 
the goal-edge opportunities had been real- 
ized, but niuft'ed chances don't count. 
Princeton and Navy each shut out the 
Bear, 1-0, on third-period goals. Yale 
held us to a 1-1 tie. 

With Co-Captain Herb Wieboldt back 
in the line-up the attack was stronger 
against the University of Connecticut, un- 
defeated in two years and boasting a 16- 
game winning streak. Previously, no rival 
had even held a temporary advantage over 
the UConns, but Dave Michael sent Brown 
ahead. His brother. Gray, followed with a 
goal after the Nutmeggers tied it up, and 
the big third point came with only 1 ."> 
seconds of play ri-maining when Bartunek 
headed a corner kick from Wieboldt. It 
was a thriller. As in every game, Brown's 
all-star defense was a tremendous factor, 
with Rod Scheffer in goal and Groth and 
Green at full. The team had more spec- 
tator backing than ever, too. 

At Ithaca the squad met a Cornell foe 
which the players described as the best in 
the East. Brown was outplayed '2-0 in the 
first half. t^o-C.aptain Jim Leach brought 
the Bear back into the game in the third 
period, but the final was 3-1. 

Then the era of proserity set in. 
Scheffer registered his first shutout as Bar- 
tunek, Wieboldt, and Gray Michael ham- 
mered at Dartmouth 3-0. Leach scored 
both goals as M. I. T. was beaten 2-1, and 
the following week, on a penalty kick by 
Dave Michael, Brown beat Harvard for 
the first time since lfl45, 1-0. 

Brown's season ended before play in the 
Ivy League had been completed. .\t that 
point, however, the Bears were in fourth 
place, with three wins, three losses, and a 
tie. "The standing of Nov. 15 was: Prince- 
ton 5-2-0. Cornell 3-1-1. Navy 3-2-0. 
Brown 3-3-1. Harvard 3-3-0. Dartmouth 
1-2-1. Yale 2-3-2. Penn 2-3-0. Army 0-3-1. 
It was mathematically possible for Penn, 
and either Harvard or Yale, to move up the 
ladder and push Brown down. In the 
New England League, Brown had a 4-0-1 
record as the best in that circle. 

Next year's outlook is not a shining one, 
for five able workers have finished their 
college soccer: Leach, Wieboldt, Groth, 
Silva, and Scheffer. The Freshmen posted 
no victories and only one tie, although a 
few of the defeats came in the final minutes 
of play. The Cubs .scored in only two con- 
tests, losing six times. 4 

Freshman Football 

► FoiR VICTORIES out of five stai'ts was the 
record of the Freshmen girdders who lost 
to Yale 21-6 but beat Tabor .\cademy, 
Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Har- 
vard. It was not a strong squad and was 
hampered with injuries, but Coach Heflfer- 
nan instilled good spirit and has a few- 
candidates for \'arsitv attention next vcar. 



The Dates in Michigan 

^ Those two hockey games with 
the L'niversity of Michigan at .-^nn 
.-\rhor this winter have been post- 
poned from the dates originally an- 
nounced. They will be played Dec. 
21 and 22, two days later than the 
tentative listing which we printed 
last month. 1 he contests are the 
first of six during the Christmas holi- 
da\s, the other enga.gements being 
with Denver University (Dec. 26 
and 27) and Colorado College 
(Dec. 29 and 30 K 

Other revisions in the hockex 
schedule call for a home-and-home 
series with Boston L'niversity, thi 
first contest down for Boston Jan. 3, 
with the return in Providence Tan. 
5. i 



The Cubs filled at short notice a vacancy 
on the Tabor .\cadeiny .schedule and, 
without fielding their best line-up, won 
32-0. Rhode Island gave promise of better 
days on the gridiron by giving the Bears 
plenty of trouble, threatening during the 
first three (quarters c>nly to fail in scorin.g 
situations through alert pass defense. In 
the final quarter Bob Markoff turned left 
end for 30 yards, with Mund\ throwing the 
key block on the way to the goal-line for 
the only points. 

The lead against New Hampshire 
changed five times, and the Granite Staters 
were ahead 16-12, in the last period when 
Piscuskis won it 18-16. With five minutes 
left, he ran 51 yards and then tallied from 
the one-yard mark. His pa.ssing and kick- 
ing were prime factors in the hard-won 
victory. Cine 60-yard boot went dead on 
the one-foot-line. 



Yale's early lead of 14-0 was too much 
to overcome, the second coming on a 
blocked punt. Brown got back into con- 
tention with Markoff's touchdown in the 
third period, but the Bulldog had insur- 
ance in a long march and a 21-6 final. Pis- 
cuskis' passing featured the victory over 
Harvard, giving the CUibs a 7-0 lead at 
halftime on a toss to Mundy. His line 
sneak brought the second score at the end 
of a 97-yard advance, and he kicked for 
the 13th point, while the Crim,son was held 
to one third-period touchdown. I'he final : 
1 3-6, Brown. ^ 

Jnyree's Lost One 

► Sqvad stre.xgth, a major factor in 
Brown's fine Varsity football season, re- 
flected itself at the Jayvee level, too, where 
the only defeat suffered came at the hands 
of .\rm\ at West Point. Yale, Harvard, 
Boston L'niversity, and Marianapolis Prep 
were the victims ol the Nahigian-coached 
"B" team. 1 hus. the unsung workhorses 
of many an .Aldrich Field scrimmage with 
the Varsity had their own fun and theii 
own successes. 

Even the Junior \'arsity at West Point 
was a rugged foe to meet earl\' in the sea- 
son, and the Bears went against the "Little 
Rabble" with only two practices as a unit 
as preparation. Ihex looked impicssivc 
even in defeat, carrying the fight right 
from the start and scoring first on a Leone- 
to-Florio pass that covered 55 yards, .\fter 
.Army had tied the count. Brown pressed 
a.gain only to have several penalties and 
a hobbled goal-line pass luiUify the threat. 
Then the Mule marched the length of the 
field, for a 14-7 lead at the half. .Another 
.Army touchdown followed a fumble on 
Brown's 20, while the- fourth came on an 
intercepted pass. Leone scored again after 
a long run by Scott set up a touchdown 
situation. 

.Against Marianapolis, Brown started 
late but found itself in the fourth quarter 
after the schoolbovs had lid 13-7 (7-0 at

the half). Martland scored twice, while 
Florio carried on the winning play. The 
Jayvees counted in every period in wallop- 
ing Boston University "B" Team 34-0. 
Quarterback Carl Leone scored once on a 
sneak, threw a touchdown pass, and con- 
vertecl four tries, with Bowdring, Kelleher, 
and Martland doing the rest. Bowdring, 
an end, made the day's longest run when he 
intercepted a lateral and raced 60 yards, 
while Kelleher went 37 yards oflF tackle. 

For the first time in four years, Yale was 
beaten (and convincingly I as the Brown 
line checked the Eli's running game. The 
first half's only score came when the Blue 
quarterback was unable to pass from the 
end zone and was tackled for a safety. 
Martland, Alexander, and Bowdring rolled 
it up in the second half, however, with 
Bowdring again crossing the goal after an 
alert interception. 

Harvard Jayvees, who had beaten Dart»-^ 
mouth 6-0, went down 27-6 before the/ 
Bears, scoring early on an 85-yard march 
with Leone passing 40 yards to Kellehe^ 
and 16 to Roth, Two more passes, both 
for 45 yards, Leone to Kelleher, broughft 
touchdowns, while the fourth was froiii 
Leone to Bill Smith. Passes figured i^n 
every point, for Leone converted that way 
and Harvard's only tally came on an inter- 
ception and the attendant 70-yard return. 

A number of these men will be moving 
up next year to become serious contenders 
for 'Varsity berths. It was smart tactics to 
give them plenty of game experience. 

Harrier Comeback 

^ Cros.s Country at Brown is definitely 
regaining prestige, with vast strides made 
since the revival of the sport only a short 
time back. The 'Varsity was a close second 
in the New Englands, fourth in the Hepta- 
gonals, and won three of its five dual meets. 
The Freshmen, from whom much is ex- 
pected in the future, were undefeated in 
dual meets and captured the New England 
championship. 

Josh I'obey met defeat only at the hands 
of Rhode Island State's four-time New 
England champion. Black, while his broth- 
er Jonathan took two seconds and two 
thirds. DeMarrais, Standish, Welchli, Bail- 
ey, and Lotz were the others who figured 
in Brown scoring, although a dozen run- 
ners competed for Brown, including the 
third Tobey brother. Against Boston Uni- 
versity, Josh Tobey set a Brown course 
record, lowering his own time for the four 
and a half miles in 20 minutes, 31 seconds. 
But B. U. nosed out the home team in a 
thriller 27-28. Connecticut was beaten 
25-30, but Rhode Island had too much 
depth to back up Bob Black, after the 
Tobeys took second and third. Brown 
won four of the first five places against 
Holy Cross, winning 21-34 over the Frank- 
lin Park course in Boston. Against Provi- 
dence College, the two stars stayid home, 
giving Standish the chance to take first 
honors as Brown yielded only third place 
among the first six runners. 

After taking fourth in the Heptagonals 
in New York, the harriers outdid them- 
selves two days later by challenging Rhode 
Island in the New Englands, moving up 
from eighth place of last year to a strong 
second, 12 points behind the Rams. Josh 
Tobey was third and Jon's sprint over the 
final 80 yards gave him eighth, but the 
good showing was due also to the great 
improvement of Demarrais and Standish 



who ran 11th and 17th. A better fifth 
place (he was 56th) would have changed 
the outcome, for Rhody's second man was 
onlv 16th, though the other three were in 
the'20's. The standing: Rhode Island 83, 
Brown 95, Connecticut 119, followed in 
order by Boston University, Tufts, Wil- 
liams, Massachusetts, Springfield, M. I. T., 
New Hampshire, Coast Guard, Northeast- 
ern, and Bates. 

Nine seconds behind the leader, Josh 
Tobey finished eighth in the IC4.\ meet as 
Brown ran 1 4th among the 37 competing 
colleges. Josh beat the New York metro- 
politan champion and other ranking har- 
riers in his best cross country race. Other 
Brown scoring: Jon Tobey 49, Standish 63, 
Roy Bailey 146, John Welchli 186. The 
Freshmen were seventh in their own race, 
finishing in this order: Molineux 7 (nine 
seconds out of first place). Wood 30, Pala- 
montain 31, CatlerJ)Ji,_Morriss ey 78. 



The consistent Freshmen were paced by 
Walt Molineux, a great mile prospect 
from New Jersey. He won every race, 
including the New Englands, where he led 
by 70 yards. His time against P. C. was 
better than the 'Varsity's over the same 
course the same afternoon. He had stout 
backing from Palomontain (one second, 
three thirds, and a fourth); Wood (two 
thirds, two fourths, and a fifth ) , Morrissey, 
and Catler. The freshmen defeated Boston 
University, Rhode Island (with four of 
the first five finishers), and the strong 
La Salle and Hope schoolboy flocks. i

The ISational Champion 

^ Re,\ding the results of the Na- 
tional .'kAU swimming meet in Los 
.\ngeles last summer, one of our 
faithful correspondents noted that 
David (Skippy) Browning of Dallas 
and the I'exas Aquatic Club had 
won the springboard diving cham- 
pionship. "Shades of 193l," he 
wrote us. "This clipping mentions 
Dave Browning as a diver. I wonder 
if this is the son of Dave Browning 
'31, who was some diver himself." 

We wrote our Browning at 3020 
Fondren Drive, Dallas, and the an- 
swer came right back: "That's right 
— Skippv is David G. Browning, 
Jr." i

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



Reunions Great and Small M M 



They Met in Cleveland 

► ^ They came from all over, for after all 
it was the first time a Brown football team 
had been that far west since 1924. Chi- 
cago, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Youngstown, 
Cincinnati, Akron, Canton, New England, 
New York — all were well represented as 
the Cleveland Brown Club arranged a fine 
program in observance of the Western Re- 
serve game weekend. 

Some of them started in by watching the 
Brown team work out at League Park Fri- 
day afternoon. But things really began 
with Cleveland's biggest Brunonian dinner 
in years at the University Club. That party 
was not over in any half-hour, with all sorts 
of major and satellite gatherings from then 
on. Before the game at the University 
Club another fine meal was served, with 
the ladies invited this time. And after the 
game the "Chicago Room" was only one of 
the rallying points. Everyone had a big 
lift from the team's visit. 

Reserve's President, Dr. John Millis 
(holder of an honorary degree from 
Brown) and Brown's Vice-President Bruce 
Bigelow were the principal speakers Friday 
night when 130 dined. The members of 
the squad were on hand, making a fine im- 
pression, incidentally — as they deserve to. 
Owen Walker made an able master of cere- 
monies, calling on the notables, with warn- 
ing and without. From Dr. W. Russell Bur- 
well, Trustee, came word of heartening 
progress in the Housing and Development 
Program ("More happened in four weeks 
than in the whole campaign before, and 
we're on our way"). 

Brown's Rip Engle and Reserve's Mike 
Skerry had praise for each other and their 
good teams. Club President Ralph Briggs 
and Dinner Chairman Harry Hoffman 
took satisfaction in the results of their plan- 
ning. Lewis Milner and Bill Burnham of 
the Athletic Council were called on, diet 
Worthington of this magazine took a bow 
as President of the American .Alumni 
Council, former athletes and officers of 
visiting Brown Clubs, Vice-President Rus- 
sell of Reserve, and others had greetings. 
Lew Shaw, Athletic Publicity Director, 
had films to show, and Athletic Directors 
Paul Mackesey of Brown and Bill Councel 
of Reserve rounded out the array. Songs 
and impromptus kept the ball rolling. As 
Owen Walker noted, in calling attention to 
the few games Brown had played east of 
the Alleghenies, our "splendid isolation" 
received a good jolt. 

.About 100, most of them from out of 
town, alumni and their families, had an 
appropriate sendoff for the game when the 
University Club catered with a fine lunch, 
far in excess of reservations. Except for a 
brief word from Dr. Bigelow, there was no 
program, but, as someone said, he "can say 
more nice things about more people in a 
short time." It was an admirable, worth- 
while enterprise, for which Hoffman and 
the Club deserve great credit. Alumni of 
other eastern Colleges had a warm wel- 
come. 

The Club has not yet sent on the list of 
those at the dinner, but our tally of the 
luncheon assembly showed the following 
on hand (the numerals apply to the men, 
of course) : Mr. and Mrs. Edward V. Os- 
berg, Mr. and Mrs. Dale Wylie '17, Mr. 
and Mrs. Myron S. Curtis '07, William P.

50 at Texas Picnic 

► Greatest round-up ever of Brunonians 
in Texas, the Lone Star State, was that for 
the picnic of the Brown University Club of 
Texas at Hot Wells June 18, while their 
northern brothers were holding their 
Alumni dinner. We've seen a fine account 
of it in the Newsletter of the Club, a fine, 
brimming two-page journal which came 
out this fall. 

Fifty alumni and their guests were at 
Hot Wells for the informal party where 
they swam, talked, and ate. "A vote of 
thanks goes to arrangements chairman G. 
Burton Liese of Houston, who got out the 
letters, did the telephoning, and was 'wor- 
rier-in-chief.' He was assisted by William 
Slick and Chip Ela in Houston and Robert 
Staples in Dallas." 

The Scholarship Committee, headed by 
Joseph lanoUi, announced in October that 
its fund was halfway to the goal of $600. 
Other Texan contributions are invited. 
Gifts should be sent to Leo Horvitz, Treas- 
urer, 3217 Milam, Houston, Tex. He is 
also receiving the annual dues of a dollar. ^ 

Appleget's Welcome 

► Thomas B. Appleget '17, in his first 
appearance before an alumni group since 
becoming Vice-President at Brown, was 
the speaker at the Nov. 22 dinner of the 
Brown Club of Rhode Island. 

"How to score an enjoyable evening," 
said the notices. "We're playing at the 
Wannamoisett Country Club, kickoff time 
6:30." The reception to Appleget was 
identified as "the huddle." "Calling the 
plays" was Athletic Director Paul Macke- 
sey. "First play, right down the middle" 
was a steak dinner ("bite off a good 
gain"). Second play ("now we're mov- 
ing") was the feature talk. "Should be 
some new slants tackled here," said the 
prospectus. Third play: "Rip Engle and 
his aides now carrying the ball — watch for 
the passes at this year's team and cover 
those Freshmen coming up." Fourth play 
was the first showing of the Columbia 
movies. ^ 



The Brown Club Tie 

► The Brown University Club 
of Chicago is sponsoring the sale of 
a Brown Club tie for the benefit of 
its Scholarship Fund. Orders are 
being taken from Chicago members 
for a silk knit tie with a distintive 
brown-and-white pattern. Three 
fine white stripes and two brown 
stripes are spaced between every 
1 /2 inches of black background. 
It bears the label, "Designed exclu- 
sively for the Brown University Club 
by Chipp, Inc., of New York." 

The tie, priced at $2.95, may be 
ordered through the Vice-President 
of the Chicago Club, William J. 
Roberts '42, 135 S. La Salle St., 
Chicago 3. So far the tie has proved 
popular as a birthday. Father's Day, 
and Christmas gift item. ^

^ The annual Christmas party of the 
Brown University Club of Chicago, always 
a rousing affair in which alumni and stu- 
dents home for the holidays join forces, 
will be held this year at the University 
Club, 76 East Monroe St., at noon on Dec, 
29. Guests from College Hill will be Ath- 
letic Director Paul F. Mackesey and Dean 
Emery R. Walker. 

As has been the custom in the past, se- 
lected prep school coaches of football in 
the Chicago area will be the guests of the 
Club at this affair. Alumni are being urged 
by President Bill Garvy '38 to bring as their 
guests any secondary school students inter- 
ested in Brown. The undergraduates who 
are at home for vacation are also urged to 
bring their fathers. Movies of Brown's 
spectacular victories over Yale and Har- 
vard this fall will be a feature of the enter- 
tainment. 

In a letter to the membership in Novem- 
ber, Garvy reviewed many recent achieve- 
ments of the Club. "Foremost of these, and 
one which promoted Brown's interests in 
this area, was the 60th anniversary dinner 
at the University Club, attended by nearly 
300. Headmasters of 20 leading midwest- 
ern prep schools were our guests, their at- 
tendance paid for out of Club dues," as is 
the case with the coaches and sub-Fresh- 
men at the Christmas lunch. "The good 
will which your Club activities have built 
among headmasters and coaches was re- 
flected in a group of 30 outstanding young 
men in this area who entered Brown with 
the Class of 1953. These Freshmen enjoyed 
a send-off luncheon, paid for by your 
dues." 

Another service to the Club members 
was the circulation of New York newspaper 
stories about various Brown football games 
this fall. 

When Vice-President Bigelow was in 
Chicago last fall to attend the installation 
of the new President of Northwestern Uni- 
versity, Ronald M. Kimball '18 called to- 
gether his midwestcrn leaders in the Hous- 
ing Campaign for a meeting with the visi- 
tor. Many alumni also attended a recep- 



tion to Dr. Bigelow and Provost James P. 
Adams of the University of Michigan, also 
in Evanston for the induction. 4 

Hartford's Football Rally 

^ The Hartford Brown Club held its an- 
nual football rally Nov. 2, the Wednesday 
before the Yale game. Athletic Director 
Paul Mackesey, the principal speaker, was 
accompanied by two newcomers to the 
coaching staff — Bill Doolittle, backfield 
coach, and Jack Heffernan, Freshman 
coach. Movies illustrated what they had to 
say about the season. 

The gathering was held at the University 
Club, with the usual good turnout. At the 
Bowl, the Hartford contingent had the fun 
of sitting as a group, thanks to the reserva- 
tion of a block of 300 seats by Russell 
Granniss. 4 

Pieiv Haven "ISight Before" 

^ Continuing a yearly custom that goes 
back for decades, the New Haven Brown 
Club celebrated the eve of the Yale game 
with a smoker at the Taft Nov. 4. The 
featured guests were Athletic Director 
Mackesey and Prof. Wecky Moulton, Var- 
sity hockey coach and Director of Intra- 
mural Athletics. 

If you've never been to one of these New 
Haven smokers, you've missed a good eve- 
ning. The turnout is always large and 
loyal. ^ 

A Seal in Denver 

^ A STAINED GLASS reproduction of the 
Brown University seal has been installed in 
a window of the University Club in Den- 
ver, through the generosity of W. Clayton 
Carpenter '06. The formal presentation to 
the Club was made at the annual meeting 
Oct. 26, when State Insurance Commis- 
sioner Luke Kavanaugh '98 did the honors 
for the Brown alumni who are members. 
The seal is a handsome addition to the col- 
lection in the College Room of the Univer- 
sity Club. i

In Los Angeles 

► A GRAND TIME was had by one and all at 
the Fall Meeting of the Los .i^ngeles Brown 
Club, Nov. 8 at the Nikabob Restaurant. 
Thirty-six members, wives and guests 
turned out to hear IDr. Polyzoides, noted 
educator, writer and world authority on 
foreign affairs, speak on "World Affairs 
Brown 1929 to Los .'Xngeles 1949 ". For Dr. 
Polyzoides it was his second appearance be- 
fore the Brown Club — and his talk was 
ver>' enthusiastically received. 

Our President, Hugh Wallace '37, pre- 
sided with his usual dignity, and the high 
intellectual plane of the evening was main- 
tained through a ringing introduction of 
the speaker by Miles Flint '27. We were 
glad to welcome several new members. 
Other new arrivals to Southern California 
are urged to drop around at the first op- 
portunity. 

The weekly luncheon program in effect 
the past two years was renewed in Septem- 
ber after a summer "holiday". We meet 
every Thursday noon in the Continental 
Room of the Hotel Alexandria, 5th and 
Spring Sts., Los .Angeles. Air-mailed cop- 
ies of the Herald were on hand during the 
football season and proved most interest- 
ing. Among the members recently at our 
luncheons are Henrv J. Bradv '04, Lvle 
Caldwell '21, Wm. W. Creasey '39, Steve 
Dolley '42, Miles Flint '27, Henry Howard 
II '24, L. L. Larrabee '09, Dick Messinger 
'37, Houghton Metcalf '04, Fergus Purves 
'23, Miles Renear '41, Paul Hunt. Tr., '47, 
Al Marshall '42, Dick Cote '49, Bill Ban- 
croft '37, Stuart Eddy '27, and Bob Tourig- 
ncy '41. 

Renewed interest by the University in 
Southern California is show^ing itself. We 
have reports that two campus representa- 
tives will pay us a visit in the near future. 
Dean Walker is scheduled the first of the 
year and Chet Worthington comes West in 
April for a meeting of the American Alum- 
ni Council of which he's President. We 
will greet them with bigger and better 
turnouts.

Films Old and ISetv 

y Rose Bowl films, showing the first 
modern Tournament game between Brown 
and Washington State, were bracketed 
with pictures of the first Varsity game this 
fall when the Brown University Club, in 
New York held its annual football dinner 
Nov. 2. Ernie Savignano, Assistant Direc- 
tor of Athletics, and Lew Shaw, Athletic 
Publicity Director, were on hand from 
Providence with commentary, news, and 
predictions. Joseph Shcehan of the New 
York Times sports staff had observations 
on Ivy League football and the national 
picture. 

The Club has returned to the Metropoli- 
tan Squash Racquets Association, with a 
team competing in Class C. Its opponents 
are: Princeton Club, Union Club, Bard 
Hall Club, Nassau C;iub, Harvard Club, 
Dartmouth Club, Heights Casino, Down- 
town A. C, University Club, and Bronx- 
ville F. C. 

The luncheon series for the year began 
Oct, 28 with Quentin Reynolds and Jimmy 
Jemail holding forth enjoyably at an active, 
well-attended session, .^s we interpret the 
schedule, these affairs come each month on 
the last Friday, in the Landon Room at the

Philadelphia Activity 

► The monthly luncheons in Phila- 
delphia at the Alpha Club are drawing big- 
ger and bigger groups as the season pro- 
gresses. The Brown Club was glad to wel- 
come several out-of-town men at the Oct. 
1 1 meeting, including Hal Demopoulos, 
Len Murphy, and Wally Henshaw. 

Joining forces with the Washington 
Brown Club, the Philadelphians had a pre- 
game luncheon at the Nassau Tavern be- 
fore the Princeton game, with other activ- 



ity arranged at the Princeton Inn after- 
wards. Frank Hope, our President, was 
slightly embarrassed when news leaked out 
that he was to sit on the Princeton side, 
strictlv for business purposes, of course. 

GEORGE C. MYER.S 

Mackesev in Washington 

^ The Wa.shington Brown Club enter- 
tained Paul Mackesey, .Athletic Director, 
at its first fall evening meeting. The af- 
fair, a sports smoker, was held at the 
United Nations Club with 30 on hand from 
the area to hear the athletic picture at 
Brown described. .\ film showing shots of 
various University teams in action, as well 
as the Holy Cross game, supplemented his 
talk. The evening, almost an exact repeat 
of Paul's visit last fall, again afforded the 
Club members a great time. .Mthough

appears in a new arrangement by 
Prof. Francis Madeira, notable for 
its provision for four voices and

understand it, the arrangement was 
on request of Ralph M. Palmer '10 
for the University Glee Club of New 
York as an addition to its standard 
repertory. 

It was a job well worth doing, and 
is well done. In printing the new

Manchester's Library 

► When Ohio State University 
marked the start of work on the 
$2,500,000 addition to its main li- 
brary last summer, no one was hap- 
pier than the Librarian, Earl N. 
Manchester "02. President Davis 
called the library "The focal point 
of University activity." Alumni Sec- 
retary FuUen spoke for the alumni: 
"It has been no source of pride to us 
that since 1921 we have had one of 
the best stadiums in the country and 
one of the poorest libraries." Classes 
were adjourned that students might 
crowd about the platform and hear 
Librarian Manchester say: "We are 
looking forward to a program of 
greatly enlarged service." 4

Alan A. Slade of South Norwalk, Conn., 
was the author of a featured article in 
Connecticut Industry for October on 
"Business and the Unemployed." As the 
editor said, "it's a rip-snortin' controversial 
article. His thesis was the need for business 
to show more responsible concern for the 
jobless ("A man's ex-employer is much 
closer to him than his congressman or the 
city of Washington") . The largest employ- 
ers, who are the largest dischargers of help 
and who need most to have the sympa- 
thetic cooperation of the public, should be 
the chief and most valuable sponsors of any 
movement to build local agencies for help- 
ing employment, Slade concludes.

Prof. Prince Retires 

► "An outstanding orator," said 
the news story, "Walter Prince is one 
of these rare educators whose lec- 
tures were sometimes completed to a 
standing round of applause by his 
students." Prof. Prince '04 retired 
this fall after more than 35 years' 
teaching at the Massachusetts State 
College and University of Massa- 
chusetts. 

The effects of his teaching "will 
continue long after his retirement," 
said an appreciation in the Alumni 
Bulletin of the University. "Few, if 
any, of us who have been his stu- 
dents or his colleagues, have lived 
up to the exacting demands of gen- 
erous integrity for which Walter 
Prince has furnished a living ex- 
ample. Yet, because he has set this 
high standard, and himself — 
through hard trials manfully met — 
has demonstrated that it can be real- 
ized." 

Acknowledging President Wris- 
ton's letter of greeting this fall. Prof. 
Prince pointed out that he is still in 
touch with things educational 
through his connection with the

► The chance remark of a whal-

'28 of Providence into an interesting 
and useful research project. The 
captain said that none of his crew at 
sea ever had suffered from athlete's 
foot. 

Dr. Sperber surmised that per- 
haps whale oil might be worthy of 
investigation as a method of treat- 
ment for fungus infections. The re- 
sult was his paper "Whale Oil, Tri- 
chophytin, and Autoserotherany in 
the Treatment of Epidermophyto- 
sis." We've seen a reprint of this 
from the Annals of Allergy. (He 
found that right whale oil, both

► ► Professors on Leave 



► ^ Eight MEMBERS of the Brown Faculty 
are on leave of absence this year. Five who 
will be away for the entire year are: Profs. 
Leallyn B. Clapp, Chemistry; Guy H. 
Dodge, Political Science; Francis Madeira, 
Music; James N. Morgan, Economics; and 
Paul S. Symonds, Applied Mathematics. 
Three will be away only for the first semes- 
ter: Profs. Walter S. Hunter, Psychology; 
Hunter Kellenberger, Modern Languages; 
and R. Gale Noyes, English. 

Prof. Clapp is doing research on hy- 
drogination reactions in organic chemistry, 
working the laboratory of the late Prof. 
Atkins at the University of Wisconsin. 
Prof. Dodge has been awarded a fellowship 
under the Fulbright Act for research in 
France, where he and his family are living 
with him. His study, which involves gath- 
ering material on French liberalism in the 
19th Century, will be centered mostly at 
the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, con- 
tinuing a project begun 18 months ago. 

The conductor of the R. I. Philharmonic 
Orchestra, Prof. Madeira plans to devote 
his free year to concert work with that and 
other musical groups. His wife is Jean 
Browning Madeira, the Metropolitan 
Opera star. Prof. Morgan has received a 
research fellowship from the University of 
Michigan where he plans study at the Sur- 
vey Research Center dealing with con- 
sumer behavior (such as change in spend- 
ing habits) into which he began his inquiry 
at Brown shortly after his arrival in 1947. 



Like Prof. Dodge, Prof. Symonds has a 
Fulbright Fellowship. He is working at 
Cambridge University in England on plas- 
ticity studies with Prof. J. F. Baker, head of 
the Engineering Department. To bring an 
exchange of plasticity data and research 
methods from Cambridge, Jacques Hey- 
man of the same Cambridge department is 
doing research as an Associate at Brown 
this winter. 

Dr. Hunter is devoting part of his leave 
to the preparation of scientific articles on 
psychological experiments already com- 
pleted. His main project, however, will in- 
volve visiting universities in the Midwest, 
Southwest, and South (as well as all re- 
search facilities of the United States mili- 
tary) to study their work in the field of 
human resources. He has been a Govern- 
ment advisor in psycholog)' at various times 
during his career. 

Dr. Kellenberger has remained in Provi- 
dence to do his work. One study deals with 
the modern French word order from the 
stylistic point of view. He will also write 
articles on 17th and 18th Century French 
literature, which field is a continuation of 
research done on the subject when he had 
a fellowship in France and Switzerland be- 
fore the war under sponsorship of the 
.American Council of Learned Societies. 

Dr. Noyes has been in England since 
.August, with time in France included on 
his schedule before his return late this fall. 
His studies are in preparation for a book on 
drama in the 18th Century English novel. ^

^ Dr. Clarence H. Woodm.-vnsee 
"17 made a phone call in October, 
1945. The result was that he bought 
a house he'd never seen in a town 
he'd never visited. It meant moving 
from Providence to Palm Springs, 
Calif., but he and his family have 
never regretted it. An illustrated 
feature in the magazine of the Prov- 
idence Sunday Journal showed Dr. 
Woodmansee at his Desert Clinical 
Laboratory (diagnostic), riding 
with the "Vaqueros del Desiertos, " 
hobnobbing with movie stars, serv- 
ing the community hospital as Chief 
of Staff, and otherwise entering into 
the life of the resort community. 
The Woodmansees' house was once 
the plush gambling house of a de- 
funct tycoon — the family keeps dis- 
covering new sliding panels and se- 
cret compartments. Some of the fur- 
nishings used to belong to the last 
Spanish Governor. The only thing 
they miss — Squantum Club clam- 
bakes. ^

^ With Louis A. McCoy 09 as 
Headmaster, the Girls" Latin School 
in Boston continues a Brunonian tra- 
dition. John Tctlow "64, recipient 
of a Brown honorary degree in 1893, 
was Headmaster from 1878 to 1910. 
Ernest G. Hapgood 01 was Head- 
master from 1910 to 1948, being 
succeeded by Mr. McCoy. The lat- 
ter confirmed this succession when 
we wrote him last summer, adding, 
"My Harvard and Boston College 
associates tell me the School has 
been laboring under a terrific handi- 
cap." It has been an outstanding 
School, "handicap" or no. 4

Slye and the "Red" Mice 



A -^ 



^ ^ No DOUBT we're dragging this in by 
the tail, for the investigation has long 
since ended in which the Subversive .Activ- 
ities Commission of the Illinois legislature 
inquired about the situation at the Uni- 
versity of Chicago. We mention it, partly 
because when Chancellor Robert Hutchins 
was on the stand he had to talk at some 
length about Dr. Maud Slye, Pembroke 
1899, whom Brown recognizpd with an 
honorary degree for her research in th( 
field of cancer. 

The inquisitor at the hearing in Spring- 
field was J. B. Matthews, and our report 
on the colloquy comes from the University 
of Chicago Magazine. Matthews apparent- 
ly demanded to know why the University 
"continued to lend its prestige " to Dr. 
Slye, associate professor emeritus of 
pathology: 

"It was necessary for Mr. Hutchins, at 
great length, to explain to Matthews that 
"emeritus" meant retired, and that nothing 
could change the fact that a professor who 
had attained that status had it until he 
died. Miss Slye worried Matthews badly: 
he kept recurring to her, and the record of 
one section of the examination runs like 
this: 

" 'Is Dr. Maud Slye on the faculty of 
the University of Chicago?' 

"Mr. Hutchins: 'You will recall, I think, 
that she is listed as "emeritus." ' 

" 'That is correct.' 

"Mr. Hutchins: 'Dr. Slye retired many 
years ago after confining her attention for 
a considerable period exclusively to mice. 

" 'Dr. Maud Slye was an associate pro- 



fessor emeritus; this is the latest obtuiniible 
directory.' 

"Mr. Hutchins: ' "Emeritus" means re- 
tired.' 

" 'She retired on pension?' 

"Mr. Hutchins: 'Oh, yes.' 

" '.And has at least the prestige of the 
University of Chicago to some degree asso- 
ciated with her name, inasmuch as she is 
carried in the directory of the University? 

"Mr. Hutchins: "I don't see how we can 
deny the fact that she had been all her life 
a member of the faculty of the University. 
She was one of the most distinguished 
specialists in cancer we have seen in oui 
time.' 

".Are you acquainted with the fact that 
Dr. Slye has had frequent associations with 
so-called Communist-front organizations?' 

"Mr. Hutchins: 'I have heard that she 
has had so-called frequent associations with 
so-called Communist-front organizations.' 

" 'Is it the policy of the University to 
ignore such affiliations on the part of mem- 
bers of the faculty?' 

"Mr. Hutchins: 'As I have indicated. 
Dr. She's associations were confined on our 
campus to mice. She could not, I think, 
have done any particular harm to our 
students even if she had been so minded. 
To answer your direct question, however, 
I am not aware that Dr. Slye has ever 
joined any organization advocating the 
overthrow of the Government by force and 
violence.' 

" 'May I ask if in your educational 
theory there is not such a thing as indoc- 
trination by example?' 

"Mr. Hutchins: "Of mice?' " 4

Library .4»signntentg 
► Dr. Henry B. V.\n Hoesen, Librarian 
of Brown University, has assumed the new- 
ly created position of Director of the 
Library in charge of ovirall plans and 
policy. David A. Jonah, former .Associate 
Librarian, has taken over Dr. Van Hoesen's 
former post as librarian. 

After teaching at Western Reserve and 
Princeton, Dr. Van Hoesen was .Assistant 
Librarian at the latter institution until he 
came to Brown in 1929 as .Associate Libra- 
rian and .Associate Professor of Bibliogra- 
phy. The author of various articles and 
reviews on paleography, papyrologv, and 
library science, he has also published 
several books, including "Roman Cursive 
Writing," "Bibliography, Practical, Enum- 
erative and Historical," "Papyri in the 
Princeton University Collections," and 
"Brown University Library, 1767-1782." 

He served as President of the Rhode 
Island Library Association from 1931-33, 
of the .American Library Institute from 
1934-36, and was Secretary of the Biblio- 
graphic Society- of .America from 1933- 
38. Dr. Van Hoesen also holds member- 
ship in the American Library .Association, 
.American Philological .Association, .Ameri-

University conferred the Sc.M. degree upon 
him in 1931; and he has been at Brown 
since that time, becoming .Assistant Profes- 
sor in 1945. In 1947 he assumed his pres- 
ent position as .Associate Librarian of 
Brown. .A member of the .American Library- 
.Association and the Bibliographical Soci- 
ety of .America, Jonah also holds associate

tific fraternity. ^ 

Three for the Choir 

► Dr. .Archib.\ld T. D.wi.son of Harvard 
presented a lecture on "Hymns of the 
Church" at Sayles Hall on Nov. 1 7 and 
the Chapel Choir expanded some of the 
ideas of his talk at a Hymn Festival, also 
at Sayles, on Nov. 20. These quietly in- 
troduced the new Brown chapel hymnbook 
of 1948 to the public for the first time. 

On Nov. 4, the choir sang for an audi- 
ence of more than 1000 men in Danielson, 
Conn., at the Windham t^ounty Men's 
Fellowship. i 

Meelitig Street School 

^ Meeti.ng Street School is now two 
years old as nursery school and recreation

Dr. John Langdon '25), recently told the 
heartening story of its work with cerebral 
palsied children. 

To Brown men special intirest centers in 
the building which houses these activities. 
It was built in 1 769 and was the first home 
of Rhode Island College when it moved 
from Warren to Providence. ^ 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



Changes in Chemistry 

^ ^ With the resignation of Prof. Paul 
C. Cross efTective last summer, the Depart- 
ment of Chemistry has been reorganized. 
Dr. Cross has gone to Seattle to become 
head of the Chemistry and Chemical Engi- 
neering Department of the University of 
Washington. Prof. Robert C. Cole is the 
new departmental Chairman at Brown, 
while Prof. James S. Coles will continue as 
Executive Officer. Prof. Donald F. Hornig 
is Director of the Mctcalf Research Lab- 
oratory. 

During the war both Profs. Cole and 
Coles did work with the underwater ex- 
plosives research laboratory of the Na- 
tional Defense Research Committee at 
Woods Hole, while Prof, Hornig engaged 
in atomic bomb research at the Los Alamos 
Laboratory. 

Two outstanding honors came to Brown 
chemists during the year. Dr. Charles A. 
Kraus, professor emeritus, received the 
Navy Distinguished Public Service Award, 
highest that can be conferred upon a civil- 
ian bv the Secretary of the Navy. The cita- 
tion, read by Rear .\dmiral T. R. Cooley at 
a Universitv Convocation, lauded Dr. 
Kraus for his contributions to the develop- 
ment of the Navy Rescue Rebreather and 
for his effective direction of research on 
Navv contracts involving the University. 
Since his retirement as Director of the Mct- 
calf Research Laboratory, he has continued 
active in research. He was the Founders' 
Day speaker at Clark University recently, 
an honor accorded him previously in 1917. 

Dr. Coles was one of several New En.g- 
land scientists who received the Presiden- 
tial Certificate of Merit at a joint .Army- 
Navy presentation ceremony in Boston last 
fall. It recognized his work at Woods Hole, 
as well as European service as a Navy tech- 
nician investigating foreign work on all 
phases of explosive research. 

New in the Department of Chemistry 
has been a program for teaching the funda- 
mentals of the science with the intention of 
raising the level of student interest and in- 
creasing the scope of undergraduate in- 
struction. It is open to a rigidly selected 
group of candidates for the degree of Bach- 
elor of Seiince in Chemistry who arc cer- 
tain they wish to enter the field. 

The program, which is based on the 
premise that in chemistry the need for com- 
partmentalization of subject matter is rap- 
idly disappearing, stipulates five basic 
courses for the freshman and sophomore 
years. These courses together cover the 
fundamentals of organic, physical, and in- 
organic chemistry and must be supported 
with courses in physics and mathematics. 
In the third and fourth years provision is 
made for a small degree of specialization 
in one or two particular fields. Cognizance 
is taken of pre-college work, and the 
courses are planned according to a logical 
rather than historical sequence. ^ 

Colorado Expectations 

^ Colorado .\lumni are awaiting final 
decision by the University Athletic Coun- 
cil with reference to the proposed mid- 
winter trip of the Brown hockey team. 
Should the games be scheduled with Den- 
ver University and Colorado College, the 
alumni will turn out in force and schedule 
appropriate gatherings in connection with 
them. 

The Club also contemplated a welcome 
to Brunonian Bob Margarita when the 
Ceorgetown football conch took his team 
into the Rocky Mountain area. i

Heavy Treiitnient 

► "I've been getting a heavy treatment 
of Brown up in this otherwise beautiful 
place," Bill Cunningham wrote from Pitts- 
field, Mass., for his column in the Boslon 
Herald a while back. The headline was: 
"Trend of Conversation Bores Dart- 
mouth." C'unningham was reporting on 
his experiences with Mian Gulian and 
.\rthur S. Fox, both Brown 1923: 

"Mr. Gulian, wearing a crew cut that 
makes his head look something like a 
mashed cocoanut trimmed in chopped 
Spanish moss, has an old chum here 
named .Artie Fox. Mr. Fox is one of the 
best known of all Massachusetts high 
school athletic coaches and directors. His 
teams at .Adams were famous for years, 
but Pittsfield hired him away from the 
sister community some three seasons back, 
and he has been proceeding here according 
to form. 

"But the Gulian-Fox friendship harks 
back to the day when they were fellow 
football players at Brown and they were 
both members of the notorious Brown unit 
that defeated the matchless, superb, and 



immortal Dartmouth eleven of 1919, 7 to 6 
in Braves Field at Boston. I was on the 
other side trom this priceless pair in that 
particular engagement, and in especialh 
and mutually distasteful contact with 
Gulian for I was backing up the line on 
his side. 

"The steady trend of their conversation 
has been very boring to this visitor, al- 
though I will say that Gulian has been 
doing most of the talking. Mr. Fox seems 
to be a quiet and essentially friendly gen- 
tleman, and since I brought Gulian myself, 
I cannot blame him on the community." 4 

Debaters Were Third 

► We tried last spring to get the whole 
story on Varsity debating, and we're only 
partly successful now. .AH we know is that 
Ivy League debaters held their annual 
meeting at Brown, and Penn won the new 
trophy as the League champion. Final 
standings: Penn 7-0. Cornell 5-3. Brown 
3-5. Clolumbia 1-4. Harvard 1-5. Outside 
of the League Brown apparentK' did prett\ 
well, too. ^
