Talk 



> Barring men in political life, college 
presidents seem to be about the most quot- 
able (or at least quoted) individuals in 
modern times. And one of the most widely 
reprinted of statements in recent years has 
been that bv Byron S. Hollinshead '28, 
President of Coe College. His theme was the 
familiar but important one that the place 
of privately endowed colleges in America's 
educational program is in jeopardy; "The 
state appropriations to three or four large 
state universities added together are equiva- 
lent to the total endowment income of all 
the 800 privately-supported colleges and 
universities. Those three or four large state 
universities are educating 100,000 to 125,000 
students while the 800 independent institu- 
tions are training well over 1,000,000 
students without any expense to the tax 
payer." 

y A zealous team of officials worked the 
Brown-Rhode Island game this fall, starting 
off with four penalties in the first seven plays 
and dropping red signal-hankies all after- 
noon. One call had even the press box 
baiBed. Although the crowd was obviously 
waiting on him for an explanation of what 
had happened, there was a long silence from 
the previously explicit public address an- 
nouncer. Finally, he cleared his throat and 
said despairingly, "Well, for full informa- 
tion on penalties, turn to page five of the 
official program." 

y We were a few weeks getting over an 
accident right at the time we should have 
been giving the printer copy for our last 
issue. Consequently, our most persistent 
critic had a field day in pointing out that 
the Summer Issue had apparently been de- 
signed for Indian summer. "Boy," he said, 
"you certainly were good and late." 

We were quite pleased, really. It's the 
first time he's ever said we were good. 
y Merlo Pusey, biographer of the late 
Charles Evans Hughes '81, received one of 
his nicest stories from the former Dean of 
Harvard Law School, Roscoe Pound. The 
New York Times, borrowing it from the 
Washington Post, retells it as follows; 

Hughes, it seems was reclining in a deck 
chair during a voyage back from Europe 
when a rather breezy young woman from 
Glens Falls came up to him and said; "Mr. 
Hughes, I don't know how we should 
address you; my father used to speak of you 
as 'Governor Hughes.' Afterwards I heard 
people saying 'Judge Hughes.' Now here on 
the boat I hear them say 'Mr. Secretary.' 
I don't know how you should be addressed." 

Mr. Hughes looked at her curiously for 
a momeit and then a bland smile came over 
him; "Those that love me call me Charlie!" 
y It had been a particularly good Chapel 
talk (by President Leonard Carmichael of 
Tufts), and we thought the choice of the 
hymn which followed was a little ungrateful. 
It had a second verse which began; 




"Still the weary folk are pining 

For the hour that brings release . . ." 

> We're told that the Catalogue of the 
University of Toronto (they call it the 
Calendar at Toronto, to be sure) lists a 
course which includes study of Shakespeare's 
"Anatomy and Cleopatra." 

y Ignorant as we often are of the history 
of other universities, we found nothing 
familiar in the name of Martin Anderson 
when we encountered it in the splendid 
centennial story, "University of Rochester, 
the First Hundred Years." Anderson was 
its first President and might have been 
Brown's sixth. 

"In 1867 financial and other problems 
made Brown University's offer look rather 
tempting. But citizens raised a fund to in- 
crease the endowment and bought for a 
president's residence the old Van Zandt 
house. Anderson declined Brown's offer, 
with the characteristic comment, Rochester 
invested in me when 1 was unknown and 
without value; if the investment has not 
proved a failure, Rochester deserves the 
profits.' " 

Curious how a name which might have 
figured in chapter after chapter of Brown 
history thus became little more than a foot- 
note. And Alexis Caswell succeeded Barnas 
Sears. 

Another bit of Brunoniana from another 
campus came in a letter from President 
Hildreth of Bucknell. In addition to ex- 
pressing his esteem of Dr. Wriston, he said 
Bucknell's regard for Brown was of long 
standing. When it was being founded, a 
party journeyed on horseback to Providence 
to learn "how to succeed in starting a 
college."' 

y The Columbia Alumni News quoted 
Ambassador-at-Large Philip C. Jessup (hon. 
1949) as missing his old waslepaper basket 
at Columbia. He had told a columnist that 
the efficient habits of the State Department 
sometimes made him think wistfully of his 
old Law School office. "When I was a 
professor," he said, "I might throw some- 
thing away by mistake — but I never worried, 
because I knew I could find it in my waste- 
basket a few days later." Perhaps, the 
Columbia editor remarked, baskets aren"t 
built large enough to hold more than one 
day"s wastepaper from a State Department 
office. 

> We're quoting here from David Demp- 
sey's column in the New York Times Sun- 
day Book Section, and he was talking about 
a famous member of Brown's Class of 1912 
under the heading of "Hazard"; 

"John T. Winterich, bibliophile and an 
editor of the Saturday Review of Literature, 
is much in demand as an after-dinner speaker. 
But apparently there is a curse on anyone 
who introduces him. Two weeks after Max- 
well Perkins did the honors, Perkins died. 



Immediately after Clyde Beck, Book Editor 
of the Detroit Neus presented him. Beck 
fell off the speaker's platform. Walter 
WcKee, winding up his introductory remarks 
at the American Booksellers Convention, 
was seized with a heart attack. Winterich 
is obviously a man who needs no introduc- 
tion." 

y We've been hearing a lot about the great 
crowds in Brown Field 25 years ago in the 
season of the stadium dedication. What 
were they.^ Harvard (26,722) did fill the 
amphitheatre to capacity, and Yale drew 
24,400. But none of the others were ex- 
traordinary, and some were actually meagre 
crowds; Dartmouth 17,589, Colgate 16,000, 
Penn 11,459, Rhode Island 5531, New 
Hampshire 4926, Boston University 4722, 
Bates 3387, and Colby 1384. The 10-game 
total, over 115,000. 

y Alumni President Bill Browne has been 
very faithful about coming up from New 
York for all his meetings in Providence. 
But the last time he journeyed to College 
Hill he was particularly glad to do so. 
"Got me out of judging a pie-eating contest," 
he reported. 

y Get a few Brown men of his era together, 
and inevitably someone recalls an incident 
involving the late Prof. Courtney Langdon. 
We were told about the upperclassman who 
received only a disappointing B-minus for 
his studies in Dante. He wrote Prof. Lang- 
don; "My father and grandfather were both 
memburs of Phi Beta Kappa. I am anxious 
to make it, too. Could you possibly review 
my examination and upgrade me to an 
A-minus?" 

The reply came shortly; "I do not want to 
keep you from your ancestral home. A-plus." 
y Another good Brunonian got a message 
instead of a grade from the late Prof. Gene 
Ware '06 after his music exam had been 
read. Admittedly, the student had been 
doing some space-filling in the paper book, 
and he received this offer; "If you will 
come over to my office and admit you didn't 
know what you were talking about on that 
last question, I'll give you an A on the basis 
of the other nine." We wonder what the 
fellow ever did.

OCTOBER, 1950 
VOL. LI NO. 2 



It Might Have Been a Normal Year 



In a peaceful nation which could not ignore the possi- 
bihty of accepting war. Brown University swung inward the 
Van Wickle Gates at the top of College Hill, its annual 
signal that a new academic year was starting. It was the 187th 
such year for Brown. 

Had it not been for the world background, it would have 
seemed like a normal year after some that were extraordinary. 
The College population was down, approaching the figure 
of 2200 which has been used in postwar planning. The 
veteran was less a factor, and nearly all newcomers were 
straight from school, younger, unmarried. 

It was possible than one out of every eight of the upper- 
classmen might be called up sometime during the year by the 
country's reserve units. Dean Robert W. Kenny pointed out. 
His survey showed that of Brown's 1800 Sophomores, Jun- 
iors, and Seniors more than 12% belonged to reserve units 
of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and National 
Guard. The largest membership was in the Naval Reserve. 
The Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps at the University 
accounted for 14% of the entire group, and it was likely 
that these men would be allowed to complete their college 
program unless the NROTC should be forced to accelerate. 

Statistics on draft classifications showed that 32% were 
19 years old or older but were still unclassified. In 1-A were 
17.8% but they had not been called. "Without military wor- 
ries for the present were 7.2% still under 19. A total of 
13.3% were veterans who had completed necessary service 
requirements and hence were classified as 4-A. The remain- 
ing 3.2% were classified as 2-A (civilian employment), 2-C 
(agriculture), 3-A (with dependents), 4-D (divinity), 4-F 
(physically unfit), 5-A (over age), 6-C (aliens), and a con- 
scientious objector. In a space on the Dean's questionnaire 
reserved for remarks, the majority not already committed to 
the military said they expected to be classified 1-A but hoped 
for deferment of one semester or a year. 

The geographical area covered by the survey included 36 
States and five Territories, although the greatest number 
reside in New England or on the Atlantic seaboard. The 
survey did not include the 650 Freshmen — the great ma- 
jority of whom are under 19. 

KOREA AND THE COLLEGES 

The effect of the Korean situation appeared in the regis- 
tration totals for the fall, which were considerably below 
those estimated last spring. All four Classes were under the 
expectation of that time as men went into service or entered 
colleges nearer home, a characteristic experience throughout 
the country. This latter decision was most apparent among 
prospective Freshmen, who changed their plans during the 
summer. Members of National Guard units also preferred 
to retain that affiliation rather than be subject to draft, and 
there were transfers for this reason. There were those who 
arrived in Providence only to receive call to the services after 
attending their first classroom lectures. 

From the office of Recorder Jewett, thes? figures were pro- 
vided in October. There were 2466 undergraduates (658

Kong watches as Hajime Seki of Kobe, Japan, tries on his "dink." 

Freshmen and transfers, 519 Sophomores, 576 Juniors, 699 
Seniors, and 14 specials). This compared with estimates last 
June for 2648 undergraduates (725 Freshmen, 567 Sopho- 
mores, 620 Juniors, 720 Seniors, and 16 specials). In the 
Graduate School 286 were registered as full-time students, 
177 part-time, or a total of 462. Pembroke undergraduates 
numbered 846, making the over-all University enrollment 
3775. (The story on Brown's Class of 1954 has been written 
for this magazine by Dean Walker of the Admissions Of- 
fice.) 

If you bear in mind the total of 2466 undergraduate men, 
you will readily note the trend in enrollment in two years. 
In September 1948 there were 3200, in September 1949 there 
were 2985. Completion of requirements for degrees brought 
the totals down to 2916 in Felaruary 1949, to 2740 in Febru- 
ary 1950. In February next year there will probably be from 
2400 to 2450, but withdrawals depend on national policy. 

STUDENT FINANCIAL AID INCREASED 

About $215,000 in scholarships, fellowships, assist- 
antships, and special stipends goes to graduate students this 
year, according to Dean Keeney of the Graduate School. 
Nearly $160,000 in salaries and remitted tuition from the 
general funds of the University is received by 125 students 
who are doing part-time work as teaching fellows, laboratory 
and teaching assistants, and graders. The balance of $56,000 
from funded fellowships, grants from foundations, indus- 
trial fellowships, and Rhode Island patriotic societies has 
been awarded to some 90 outstanding students in graduate 
fellowships and scholarships. Four Brown graduate students

in attendance last year have been awarded Fulbright scholar- 
ships for a year of study in Europe. 

From undergraduate scholarship funds this year the stu- 
dents are benefiting from awards totalling $154,000. Loans, 
which are made as the year progresses, last year amounted to 
$28,000 and may well reach $30,000 in 1950-1951. The 
aggregate estimate of $184,000 in student aid shows how 
such assistance mounts as the G.I. educational benefits be- 
come less of a factor. 

The University is employing about 600 students in part- 
time jobs, according to Robert H. Maclachlan, Student Em- 
ployment Officer. Because 1100 men need work of some kind 
to make ends meet, he appealed to members of the Rhode 
Island Brown Club and others in the community to help him 
place some of them. "The rules of the game are simple," 
he said. "Hours can be from three to 25 a week; the rate of 
pay from 50^ an hour and up. We will take on almost any 
job that's legal, from baby-sitting to shoveling snow to office 
work. Out of this available labor supply, we can provide al- 
most any skill, and certainly as much brawn as one would re- 
quire. Some of our finest students, many of whom are 
Brown's best athletes and who will shortly become your fel- 
low alumni, are in this needy group." The response is good, 
Maclachlan says; he hopes it will continue. 



WELCOME AND ORIENTATION 

As IS CUSTOMARY, the Freshmen came to College Hill a 
week ahead of the other students for a period of orientation 
and special welcome. Sunday night, Sept. 10, they attended a 
get-together in Sayles Hall to meet officers of the University 
and ask questions. The next night, after some introduction 
to Brown songs and other entertainment, they broke up for 
dormitory parties with student leaders. Tuesday was Ath- 
letic Night, featuring a pre-season rally on Faunce House 
Terrace, a chance to meet the coaches, and Brown sports 
films. On Wednesday the Clergy of all faiths from nearby 
churches were on hand for a reception, while Pembroke held 
open house for Freshmen of both campuses at night. 

President and Mrs. Wriston had a pleasant reception for 
all Freshmen at their home Thursday afternoon, and the 
evening was given over to Activities Night. The latter in- 
cluded the "county fair" type of display which was so 
effective a year ago ; it proved a fine occasion again in intro- 
ducing the new men to the variety of extra-curricular activi- 
ties in the Brown program. Friday's intra-squad football 
scrimmage was open to the Freshmen, who later danced at 
Pembroke. The Jewish Sabbath was observed in Faunce 
Memorial Room, with Hillel Foundation sponsoring the 
Service. 

Something new was on the calendar for Saturday when 
Faculty and Freshmen met informally for a field day on 
Aldrich Field, taking part in a variety of strenuous and mild 
sports (strenuous for the Faculty, certainly). This was a 



4 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



good show, including softball, touch football, horseshoes, 
and other games. A highlight was the interception of a 
forward pass by a European boy who had never seen a foot- 
ball game before. A Variety Show in Alumnae Hall brought 
together Faculty, Freshmen, and members of other Classes. 
For churchgoers on Sunday there were escorts for the serv- 
ices of the Protestant and Catholic churches in the com- 
munity. (There was no Yawgoog or Outing Reservation 
weekend this year, because of the full schedule otherwise.) 
Along with the social welcome, there was the academic 
routine of orientation lecture, placement test, physical exam, 



campus tour, and other basic practices for which the other 
was a form ot whipped cream. As Dean Walker says, it is a 
good Class, this Freshman group of 1954, and the program 
of the week was iirst-rate. K. Brooke Anderson of the BCA 
and Nelson B. Jones of the Brown Union assisted the stu- 
dent committees in charge of welcoming the newcomers with 
mass and individual at;ention. 

President Wriston's address at the official opening of Col- 
lege, as you have read, was one which attracted national at- 
tention. It was important counsel at the start of another year 
on College Hill. 



Wriston: "Your Reasonable Service" 



On the first page of the "National Affairs" section of 
Time Magazine for Oct. 2 there was a picture of U. S. 
prisoners in Korea. The caption was a quotation: "If you 
live at all, you will live dangerously." It was a quote from 
Brown's President. 

Dr. Wriston also provided the lead story in that issue of 
Time. Under the heading, "The Distant Hope," it said: 

"To a generation born in a depression, weaned on a world 
war, and greeted at 18 with a conscription number. President 
Henry M. Wriston of Brown University offered some guid- 
ance. 'Abandon the most fatuous and debilitating slogan that 
ever misled a generation,' he told Brown undergraduates 
last week at the opening of the new college year. 'Give up 
security as an ideal. Anyone who promises security is mis- 
branding his political, social, and economic goods. ... If 
you insist on being cheated, buy gold bricks or perpetual 
motion machines. 

" 'It is now clear that if you live at all, you will live 
dangerously, not only during the instant crisis but for all our 
lives. Peace has been so mishandled for more than a genera- 
tion that its convalescence will be long and its full recovery 
a distant hope. . . .' " 

Alumni often criticize us for not using more of President 
Wriston's public statements because of their lively, chal- 
lenging comments on important matters. It is true that we 
are tempted to cover him every time he speaks, but we do 
not, for reasons of balance in editorial content. Certainly, 
though, his address at the Opening Convocation of the 
University Sept. 18 is "must" copy. 

To Dr. Wriston, a speaker in overwhelming demand na- 
tionally, no platform is more important than that before his 
students. He is at his best with them, as he would want to 
be. But few of his talks have brought more calls from all 
over the country for the text than this, here given in full. 
He called it "Your Reasonable Service." 



College opens with the official mood of the nation 
greatly altered from its temper at Commencement time. 

Then, optimism was the keynote. A New York Times 
dispatch, dated May 5, reads in part: 

"President Truman asserted repeatedly in a news conference 
today that he saw no alarming possibility that the 'cold war' 
would develop into a shooting war and even promised to re- 
duce the defense budget next year. For his part, he said, he 
saw a world more settled now than in the first half of 19-46." 

Again on June 2, the President reiterated those sentiments: 

"Expressing disbelief in a Gallup poll that reported a ma- 
jority of the American people expecting war within five years 
President Truman declared today that the world was closer 



to peace now . . . than it had been in five years. He did not 
agree with the poll at all. He said this country was doing 
everything possible to avoid war and that the situation now 
was better than in five years." 

Actions speak louder than words ; and actions matched 
language. One dramatic illustration will suffice. The Na- 
tional Security Resources Board was established by law on 
|uly 27, 1947. Its function is "to advise the President con- 
cerning the coordination of military, industrial, and civilian 
mobilization." The post of Chairman of the Board was filled 
for about a year and a half by Arthur M. Hill. It was not 
until two months after Mr. Hill's resignation that the Presi- 
dent asked the Senate to approve his choice of a successor — 
Mon C. Wallgren, an amiable man, whose principal quali- 
fications were that he was a lame duck governor and an old 
personal friend of Senate days. In an extraordinary mani- 
festation of responsibility, the Senate, which customarily 
regards membership in that body as proof of qualification 
to hold any position, dsclined to approve the nomination. 
Whereupon this vitally important office was left vacant until 
April 27, 1950, more than sixteen months after the vacancy 
occurred. Surely if the President had regarded the outlook 
as grave he would not have suggested that so great a re- 
sponsibility should rest on shoulders of even doubtful 
capability, nor would he have let pride or pique imperil a 
nation's safety by leaving a key post vacant so long. 

THEN IT BEGAN IN KOREA 

Many other illustrations could be used to demon- 
strate the harmony between word and deed which was re- 
flected in the optimistic outlook at Commencement time. 

Before June was out, however, shooting had begun in 
Korea. In a dramatic reversal the military conclusion to leave 
Korea outside the defensive perimeter was replaced by the 
political decision that it must be defended ; in order to do 
so the political decision to abandon Formosa to its fate was 
superseded by the military necessity of protecting it, lest the 
Korean adventure prove foolhardy. When Korea was 
brought within the defensive perimeter Formosa could not 
be excluded. The reversal of emphasis was as swift as it was 
complete. Indeed, it was done so suddenly that the role of 
the United Nations seemed for a moment forgotten. Oc- 
casionally, since his return to the Security Council, Jacob 
Malik gets careless and lapses into truth; he was correct in 
asserting that President Truman announced his decision and 
action at noon, and the Security Council did not meet until 
3 p.m. In the Greek episode three years earlier we made the 
same mistake and jeopardized our moral advantage by mak- 
ing United Nations action seem to follow our decision 
rather than treating its actions as an integral element in the 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 

determination of our policy — which we repeatedly (and sin- 
cerely) declare it to be. 

The reversal of emphasis from prospects of peace to a 
semi-military economy is complete. The phrase "garrison 
state" is heard in Washington. Speaking to the nation on 
September 1 President Truman said: 

"In view of the threats of aggression which now face us, 
we shall have to increase these forces and we shall have to 
maintain larger forces for a long time to come. 

"We shall have to make many changes in our way of living 
and working here at home. We shall have to give up many 
things we enjoy. We shall all have to work harder and longer. 
To prevent inflation and runaway prices, we shall have to im- 
pose certain restrictions upon ourselves." 

Again, on September 9, the President said : 

"This defense program cannot be achieved on the basis of 
business as usual. All of us — whether we are farmers, or wage 
earners, or businessmen — must give up some of the things we 
would ordinarily expect to have for ourselves and our families." 

"For the consumer, the guiding principle must be: Buy only 
what you really need and cannot do without. ... 

For businessmen, the guiding principle must be: Do not pile 
up inventories ; hold your prices down. . . . 

For wage earner, the guiding principle must be: Do not ask 
for wage increases beyond what is needed to meet the rise in 
the cost of living." 

This narrative foundation prompts three questions: first, 
how did it happen ; second, who shall make what sacrifices ; 
third, what is your present duty .' 

WE DIDN'T "PREPARE FOR PEACE" 

How DID IT HAPPEN .' The answer was compressed into an 
incidental phrase used recently by Hanson W. Baldwin: 
victory, not peace, was made the objective in the last war. 
It was a tragic moment when at Casablanca, apparently with- 
out real consultation among the allies, "unconditional sur- 
render" was proclaimed the adequate aim of the war. The 
conclusion that those words — and the policy they embodied 
— were a tragic error is not hindsight. There were vigorous 
protests at the time by men who foresaw the consequences. 
There were important figures who hazarded their offices by 
saying at the moment that it was an error. 

In 1940, even before we entered the war, I had written a 
book pleading that victory was no adequate objective — that 
the fabric of the peace must be woven during the war, not 
afterward. That required no great prescience upon my part — 
only a reading of history. At the close of the so-called First 
World War (the name itself is a shallow misreading of 
world history) the British statesman, Lloyd George, wrote 
to President Wilson: "You may strip Germany of her col- 
onies, reduce her armaments to a mere police force and her 
navy to that of a fifth rate power; all the same in the end if 
she feels that she has been unjustly treated in the Peace of 
1919, she will find means of exacting retribution from her 
conquerors." 

Every word of that statement should have been memorized 
by everyone in office or post of influence. The prophecy was 
fulfilled to the letter and led to the Second World War of 
our generation. Yet it was so far forgotten that the monu- 
mental folly of the Morgenthau Plan to reduce Germany to 
an agricultural economy was for a time allowed to dominate 
our post-war policy. It was so far forgotten that we could be 
drawn into thinking that guilt was primarily personal and 
that by punishing war criminals men and nations could be 
frightened into good behavior (as though puttmg a few 
wicked men to death would exorcise the devil of ambition — 
or of chauvinistic nationalism). 



I would remind you that now Germany is stripped of her 
colonies, her armaments are below those of a police force 
and her navy is non-existent. All the things that Lloyd 
George mentioned have been done again and m addition we 
have dismantled a great deal of its industrial plant. Ger- 
many, like Korea, is divided by an artificial boundary line; 
all its people yearn for union ; and Western Germany, even 
as was South Korea, is the buffer between the allies and the 
Russians. As a consequence we are in the painful process of 
reversing our policy with reference to Germany. Hard reali- 
ties have tempered the naivete of men who felt that Ger- 
many was the only real menace in the world. 

At the opposite side of the globe we are again at war. 
While it is not a world war, it is war nonetheless. It is war 
even if it is called a police action. If and when victory is 

The Four Smiles 




NAMELESS, for Keats' reasons. 

The editorial writer spotted this picture (by the Brown 
Photo Lab) and saw something the rest of us missed. We 
think you'll like what he wrote, under the heading of 
"Welcome Frosh": 

There's one for the book, surely: that delightful photo- 
graph in Tuesday's Journal of the Brown upperclassmen, 
who shall be nameless, welcoming the two freshmen, who 
shall also be nameless, because, like the figures on Keats' 
"Grecian Urn," they are universal, timeless (even though 
their mothers may not think so). 

That picture needs no definition. Its spirit is everything. 
Fifty years ago the picture (the handclasp, the study in four 
smiles) was exactly the same on a hundred American 
campuses, with a different cast, of course, but scarcely a 
change of hats. Fifty years hence it will still be the same 
when these hats are moth-eaten relics. 

Never again will the fine young man in the careless white 
hat at exactly the right angle feel more justly important — 
even as Secretary of State. Never again will the attractive 
classmate at his right extend a more genial official welcome 
— even as President of the Corporation. 

And never, never will two smiling, happy freshmen ac- 
quit themselves with a more proper diffidence. Imperishable 
legend! "Forever wilt thou love, and she be fair!" sings 
Keats of his two marble lovers. Forever will these green 
and simple "Frosh" in yesterday's Journal be entering col- 
lege with their seniors' blessing.

won, what will it avail to spend two or three years conduct- 
ing trials of some North Korean politicians and military 
leaders ? Are these puppets the real war criminals ? Was this 
aggression born in their minds ? A world which has made 
every other responsibility social in character has been seek- 
ing to load the responsibility for war on individuals. It is 
nonsense. I am not suggesting that officials should go un- 
punished, but I am pointing out that their punishment is a 
trivial matter in the grand strategy of peace and in the per- 
spective of history. 

If and when victory is won, what will be done with the 
fruits of toil, sacrifice, and blood .' That question cannot be 
answered when the fighting is over; it cannot be answered 
when the moment of triumph comes. The answer should be 
given now and the military strategy shaped to produce the 
political result. One illustration will be in everyone's mind: 
shall we cross the 38th parallel or not .' One reason the Voice 
of America program has lacked effectiveness is that it does 
not know what to say. Neither appropriations, nor more 
powerful transmitters, nor continuous programs can cure 
that fatal defect. It is time to insist again that victory is not 
an end in itself; victory is a means to an end. But if we do 
not know what end we seek, the victory will again be thrown 
away. 

When we look back it is amply clear how this situation 
developed, how what has happened came to pass. It is not 
yet clear that it will not recur again and again. 

WHOSE "REASONABLE" SACRIFICES? 

The second question is even more urgent: Who shall 
make what sacrifices 7 The President says all of us. Many of 
you may well be required to sacrifice even your lives. Accord- 
ing to established tradition, that is the "reasonable sacrifice" 
of youth in war. So long as wars endure there is no way to 
change it: if the old men who made the mess were sent to 
fight, they would be promptly vanquished and you would 
have to begin all over again. But if youth's sacrifice is 
inescapable, you have a right to ask others to make lesser 
sacrifices. 

It is significant that in neither of his speeches did the 
President mention sacrifice on the part of officialdom. You 
have a right to ask the President of the United States to 
return to that humility which he exhibited when he first took 
office and which endeared him at that time to the hearts of 
his countrymen and solidified public opinion behind him. 
You have a right to ask him to keep key offices filled with 
competent men, men about whom there is no shadow with 
reference to their ability and without too much thought of 
politics. You have a right to ask the politicians not to play 
ducks and drakes with the mayoralty of our greatest city for 
political advantage — as they are today, giving us an un- 
trained man in a critical and sensitive post. 

You have a right to ask the Senate to quit tending its 
sacred cows: the pork barrel rivers and harbors bill, to which 
it gave such sedulous care, laying aside the tax bill and all 
other war measures ; seniority in committee chairmanships, 
a system which puts the country in especial hazard of in- 
competence. For their own comfort and convenience Senators 
have refused to sacrifice antiquated traditions and proce- 
dures, saying it would be difficult. They snatch motes from 
other eyes and proclaim that the beam in their own does not 
affect their vision at all. 

You have a right to call upon the government to show 
courage in the exercise of its vast influence over economic 
life and really fight inflation. Because there is an election 
coming the obvious and well-understood steps to check infla- 
tion were not taken when they should have been; they are 



AUTUMN MIRACLE 

"It's a breath-taking phenomenon, this miracle of 
the new students! Campus dwellers never cease to be 
humbled by it, " writes Romcyn Berry in that most 
palatable of books of essays in the college province, 
"Behind the Ivy" ($3.50, Cornell Alumni Associa- 
tion). 

"There they are, all over the place, 2000 hand- 

Eicked boys and girls who were not there the night 
efore: the annual blood transfusion that keeps uni- 
versities alive and vigorous, and the principal justifica- 
tion for the existence of Campus dwellers. All the 
year, we bicker over budgets, new tricks in teaching, 
departmental jurisdiction, the publication of new 
truth, and then some September morning, unaware, 
this flood of new students bursts upon us, and sud- 
denly we realize that these constitute our job and that 
other things, while related, are of secondary impor- 
tance." 



not now being taken even with the new curbs on installment 
buying; as a consequence the spiral of inflation has gathered 
momentum. By and by when the election is over, instead of 
natural processes being shaped in an orderly and constructive 
way to cure the disease, officials will undertake to suppress 
the symptoms with harsh, artificial, political controls — and 
all for political advantage. Incredible as it may seem to them, 
you have a right to demand that they should even put in 
jeopardy their political lives for you who jeopardize your 
very own lives. Shocking political cowardice supplies no 
adequate background for military heroism. 

The national government should have begun to trim its 
own non-military program and to make sacrifices, bending 
its energies more directly to your support. If the rest of us, 
in the words of the President, "shall have to make many 
changes in our way of living . . . (and) give up many 
things we enjoy," there is no reason officialdom should not 
make like changes. 

THE BRIGHT IDEAL OF "SECURITY" 

Now TO MY last question: What is your present duty? 
First of all, abandon now and forever the most fatuous and 
debilitating slogan that ever misled a generation. Give up se- 
curity as an ideal ; it is now clear that if you live at all you 
will live dangerously — not only during the instant crisis but 
for all your lives. Peace has been so mishandled for more 
than a half century that its convalescence will be long and its 
full recovery a distant hope. Anyone who promises security 
is misbranding his political, social, and economic goods. If 
you insist on being cheated, buy gold bricks or bet your 
dollars on a nag — they are a lot sounder investment than 
security. 

It is not so long ago that army recruiting was on the basis 
of security: join the army, learn a trade, get benefits, retire 
young and lead the life of Riley! Nothing was said about 
danger. Those who are in Korea do not have the promised 
security; it should never have been so heavily advertised. 
There was criticism when the fighting began that our soldiers 
were soft. It was not a fair criticism ; soldiers do not become 
veterans until they have been tested in battle; if it had been 
true that they were soft, it would have been the natural 
result of the kind of emphasis in the recruiting propaganda 
we have had for five years.

The Quadrangle: Spectacular Progress 




One OBjECTivi-: \'isitor has already said it is destined to 
be "the finest university dining hall of its kind in New Eng- 
land, and possibly in the country." Alumni who inspected 
the nearly completed Refectory at Brown University during 
the Homecoming weekend could share his admiration but 
be even more enthusiastic about what it means to Brown. 
They surveyed it as a $2,000,000 investment for the benefit 
of undergraduate life. They knew recent makeshifts like 
Flattop and appreciated the great need for replacing a score 
or more of smaller kitchens and dining rooms with an effi- 
cient central operation. The visitors could see most of the 
equipment on hand and the final touches being put on the 
building. After Christmas holidays, it will start feeding 
most of the student body, and at one sitting. 

The Refectory is the most conspicuous of all the brisk 
evid nee of progress in the Quadrangle which transforms 
the seven acres just south of the old campus. While the Re- 
fectory dominates the area, it is only a corner of the $6,000,- 
000 project toward which Brown hopes have so long been 
directed. The housing is even more important in the future 
scheme. 

Since Commencement last June the site (bounded by 
George, Thayer, Charles Field, and Brown Sts.) has been 
under assault by all the great modern machinery of the con- 
tractor. And now the land has been prepared for seven of 
the nine dormitory buildings which will rise there. Five are 
already in advanced stages of construction, some up to the

firmary show in the distance. 



second of four eventual stories, and all but one will be well 
advanced by June, 1951. Brunonians who rambled about the 
area on the weekend of the Princeton game looked with 
amazement at the transformation and with satisfaction at 
the prospect. 

A NEIGHBORHOOD TRANSFORMED 

In Alumni House, across the way on Brown St., some of 
us have watched the day-to-day progress all summer and fall. 
Some of the fine old residences moved out on rollers to new 
locations further south (including the homes in which Dean 
R. W. Kenny and Prof. W. T. Hastings lived). Other 
buildings, including stores and the Thayer St. School, have 
been razed with spectacular speed. Buildings like that which 
accommodated the Division of Applied Mathematics exas- 
perated the wreckers with their stalwart construction, but 
they went down. Great shovels came to eat into the earth. 
Benevolent St. disappeared between Thayer and Brown 
Sts., but many of the fine old trees have been preserved, al- 
though it took some shrewd doing. 

Then came the cement. Some of it is being poured, but 
still more is pre-cast in fantastic slabs, bigger than barn

doors, trucked over from their place of manufacture in 
Saylesville. Cranes lower the slabs into place to form rooms 
and hallways. As one floor is completed, concrete is poured 
to form the next higher one and lock into place all walls 
and partitions. It is the startling new method which the same 
contractors, Gilbane Construction Co., employed with such 
signal success in dormitories at the University of Connecticut 
and R. I. State College. 

The Quadrangle area today is hard to recognize with so 
many of the familiar landmarks removed and a new profile 
being fashioned. It is hard to recall that more than 30 build- 
ings once and for so long occupied the same lots. The 
engineers had their problems, too, for the ground had an 
abundance of springs below the surface. Brook St. wasn't 
idly named, and one of the buildings is going up straddling 
a Civil War storm sewer line which still functions. 

THE SEQUENCE OF BUILDING 

You WILL RECALL that nine residential buildings will pro- 
vide homes for fraternity men and others in the Quadrangle. 
The typical new building has a fraternity house on each wing 
and a dormitory in the central part. The first of these new 
buildings (housing Phi Kappa Psi and Phi Delta Theta) 
will be ready for the students at the start of the second 
semester. Cement work is well along on four more (Kappa 
Sigma and Zeta Psi ; Pi Lamda Phi and Psi Upsilon ; Sigma 
Chi and Delta Kappa Epsilon; Alpha Delta Phi and Delta 
Phi). 

The four others will follow in due season in the construc- 
tion schedule. The site is ready for the Phi Gamma Delta 
house, the only one with a single fraternity, instead of two, 
linked with the customary non-fraternity dormitory section. 
This is on Brown St. next to the Annmary Brown Memorial. 
With Thayer St. School down, work could start at any time 
on the building which will include Beta Theta Pi and Delta 
Upsilon. Since the old garage on lower Benevolent St. has 
been used for material storage, the building where Sigma 



AS COLLEGE OPENED, the Refectory neared its date of readiness. 
St. Stephien's spire is in the background of this photo taken from 
Thayer St. at Benevolent. 



Nu and Theta Delta Chi will live will come later. Last of all 
will be the building at the corner of George and Brown Sts., 
where the residence of Mrs. T. I. Hare Powel (given by her 
to the University) will stand until after Commencement at 
her request. Because this will include the principal entrance 
into the Quadrangle, it will have certain special features. 
But, when Lamda Chi Alpha and Delta Tau Delta move into 
this ninth Quadrangle residence, they will find a completed 
Quadrangle about them. Next fall will see a populated 
Quadrangle. 

The surface style will be Georgian, as has been pointed 
out before, in accord with the decision to follow the most 
traditional of the several architectural influences on College 
Hill. The facing will be laid in what the architects (Perry, 
Shaw and Hepburn) call "University Hall bond." This 
unique bond, used in the original "college edifice," is pro- 
vided by laying three rows of "stretchers" (bricks placed 
the long way) alternated with one row of "headers" (bricks 
facing endwise) . Foresight has minimized the effect of ma- 
terial shortages, and Brown has not fared too badly under 
the growing restrictions. Weather and labor relations have 
been favorable, too. 

THE REFECTORY OPERATION 

Looking down on all this immense activity and calm by 
comparison in its state of near-completion, stands the Re- 
fectory. Not high but massive, this rectangular building 
backs up on Thayer St., with a flank on George. In it some 
1640 students will be able to dine at the same time in the 
main dining room and the fraternity rooms around its perim- 
eter. A cafeteria is on the floor underneath, at what is 
ground level on Thayer St. but below the level of Brown St. 
off to the west. Noon lunches will be served to 250 com-

muting students in this cafeteria, which will become a milk 
bar the rest of the afternoon and evening. 

The major problem, says William N. Davis, Director of 
Residence and Dining Halls, will be one of timing. When 
the doors open three times a day, everyone will require 
service at once. It's not like a commercial restaurant which 
offers meals all through the day whenever the customers 
arrive. At lunchtime in the Refectory, for example, the 125 
student waiters will start checking in at 12:05, with about 
15 minutes to set the tables. At 12:25 the doors will open, 
and 30 waiters will go into action in each of the four sec- 
tions. Everybody will be out in time to make their 1 o'clock 
classes. 

The countless details of food preparation will be handled 
in the basement. Into an elevator shortly before a meal will 
go four big stainless steel handtrucks two at a time. The 
multiple shelves of one of these specially designed vehicles 
will hold an entire main course for 450 students (except for 
the salads, which have their own trucks and move up a little 
earlier). Up they go to a central serving area on the main 
floor where lies the secret of celerity. This central core is a 
square room with wide counters along two walls each with 
steam tables to keep the food warm until served. The waiters 
will carry the food from there out through the electric-eye 
doors in each wall with only a comparatively short distance 
to walk to serve the most distant diner. 

A basic problem for the architect of the Refectory was the 
provision of the 18 private dining rooms — one for each 
fraternity and the 18th for special groups which will vary 
from meal to meal. These auxiliary rooms determined the 
size and shape of the whole building. Consequently, the food 
preparation department on the first floor enjoys unusually 
generous space. There is a special meat-cutting section, a 
salad-making department, a bakery with an oven with ro- 
tating racks which can bake pies for all customers in less 
than an hour. In October much of the equipment was at 
hand — work tables, broilers, fryers, ovens, soup cauldrons, 
and the rest. There are controUed-temperature rooms of 
every description for storage and deep freezing. Although 
several automatic grinders have been set into the floor and 
connected with sewers, a cold room for storage of garbage 
has been provided for emergency use. Salad trucks will be 
trundled into another cold room ready for instant service. 

THE LOGISTICS OF THE CASE 

Food deliveries will be made to the Refectory through a 
big door on Thayer St., where space has been provided 
ample enough so that a trailer-truck may back up to the 
door full-length with all wheels completely back off the 
busy thoroughfare. A small delivery truck may even drive 
right inside through the door. Storage capacity will permit 
the dining rooms to buy for 60 days at a time, with whatever 
occasional savings this will allow. In the past much of the 




University food bought wholesale has been stored downtown 
in commercial warehouses on a short-term arrangement. 

An interesting feature of the lower level is a testing 
kitchen where new dishes may be tried out. This corner in- 
cludes a steam table, oven, broiler, and fryer. Another section 
will eventually contain complete equipment for making 
ice cream. Gas, electricity, and steam will all be employed in 
various phases of the cooking, incidentally. Also on this floor 
are the lockers, washrooms, and showers for the employees, 
offices for the director and his staff, and a telephone room 
for the students. Dishes, brought down on four conveyors 
from above, will be washed, dried, and cooled automatically. 
A special chute sends refuse other than garbage down to a 
still lower level where the incinerator has been installed. 

The kitchen areas are walled with gleaming, cream-colored 
tile and divided from one another only by chest-high parti- 
tions. The dining rooms above will be floored with brown 
rubber tile, and the walls halfway up to a bank of clerestory 
windows will be covered with light green simulated leather. 
The tile, by the way, warrants more than a passing reference 
for other reasons. The building might now be in use but for 
a freight wreck last May which smashed all the specially 
made tile. Ths smash came only a few short miles from the 
Providence freight yards. 

Mr. Davis contemplates no increase in the prices for 
meals. Certain savings which should result from more effi- 
cient purchasing and handling of food (both of which the 
Refectory will make possible) will be used to improve the 
quality of the meals. The chairs and tables were selected 
after student groups had tried out various possibilities. New 
dishes will bear the University crest, while knives, forks, and 
spoons will be of silver plate — also an innovation. 

MORE THAN "BRICK AND MORTAR" 

Yes, the Quadrangle was a great attraction during the 
Homecoming. And the thought of tomorrow was stimulated 
by wandering in and around the section, just as one gained 
an appreciation of the status and scope of the enterprise. It 
stirs an impatience to see the fulflllment of this splendid, 
complex, long-held hope of so many planners and workers 
for Brown. 

Oh, to be sure — the moat, the once-moot moat. We'd 
forgotten about it until an article in the Princeton football 
program reminded us of it. That was the feature which fired 
the imagination of a national news magazine and inspired 
so many quips. Well, we wonder how many of those who 
walk along George St. have been aware of the "moat" be- 
tween street and building. It's there, and you notice it if 
you're looking for it. And you see what it will be: a lowering 
of the ground to bring light into basement windows and 
discourage sneak thieves. There will be no drawbridge, it 
has been assured, no swimming swans, no repository for 
"dead frats." The fraternities, thank you, were very much 
alive the last we knew, initiating pledges and extending 
Homecoming hospitality. They tell us they're just waiting 
for the chance to live in this exciting new Quadrangle in the 
"Fourth Brown." 

Right now, the steel and cement, the brick and mortar are 
catching the eye. If you stop and think, though, you re- 
member what this is all about, what it is going to mean for 
coming College generations. The philosophy prompting all 
this, rather than any superficial picture with its interesting 
but petty details, is what counts. And it is not being lost 
sight of. The quality of student residential life, the enrich- 
ing of the academic experience, the influence of environment 
— all these are consistent with Brown's ancient purpose and 
will bring new strength to it in the years ahead.

New members of the Brown University Corporation, in- 
cluding those selected as Alumni Trustees last June, took 
their engagements at the October meeting in University Hall. 
Dr. W. Russell Burwell '15 of Cleveland was present as a 
member of the Board of Fellows, to which he had been 
elected after serving as a Trustee since 1929. The new 
Alumni Trustees are E. John Lownes, Tr. '23 and H. Stan- 
ford McLeod '16, both of Providence. Gordon L. Parker '18 
and Samuel Temkin '19 of Providence and Watson Smith 
'19 of Cambridge, Mass., took engagements as Term Trus- 
tees. 

Burwell, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Brush 
Development Co. of Cleveland and President of the Brush 
Laboratories, received an honorary LL.D. at the June Com- 
mencement. Upon receiving his Master's degree in Mathe- 
matics at Brown in 1916, he was elected a Rhodes Scholar 



and spent the following year studying at Oxford University, 
England. Returning to the United States in 1917, he went to 
Washington where he was a statistician working with the 
Council of National Defense and the War Industries Board. 
Toward the end of hostilities in Sept. 1918, he came back to 
Brown as an Instructor of Mathematics and Navigation, 
teaching until June, 1919. During the years 1919 to 1921 
Burwell continued his advanced study in England which 
had been interrupted because of the war. In 1920 Oxford 
awarded him both a Bachelor's and Master's degree and in 
1921 he became the first American ever to receive a doctorate 
from that university. 

The University of Tennessee appointed Burwell an As- 
sistant Professor of Mathematics in 1922, and later that 
year he was named Dean of Freshmen at Brown University 
and also given an assistant professorship in Mathematics.

HONORED BY 
WESLEYAN: 
Connecticut's 
tice, Allyn L. 
— "respected, 
LL.D. 



Chief Jus- 
Brown '05 
esteemed" 




Commencement Kudos 

Pleasant honors have come to Brown alumni from 
other institutions since last Spring. Several honorary degrees 
were attendant upon other Commencements. 

Chief Justice Allyn L. Brown '05 of Connecticut's Su- 
preme Court of Errors received the honorary LL.D. from 
Wesleyan, with the following citation from President Butter- 
field: "We struggle to sustain government by law rather 
than by edict. The competence and integrity of the courts are 
the first pillars of such a structure, and they in turn are only 
as strong as the judges that preside over them. We rest con- 
fident in the new leadership of our highest court in Connecti- 
cut. Liberally trained, public minded throughout your career, 
servant of education as well as law, you have proved through 
your habits of exhaustive research, careful reasoning, and 
sound judgment to be among the most respected of the coun- 
try's bench, among the most esteemed of the citizens of our 
State." 

At the 86th Commencement of Gallaudet College Prof. 
Herbert E. Day '93 received the LL.D. of this Washington, 
D. C. institution. He taught there for 25 years before going 
to the U. S. Department of Education. 

U. S. Senator Edward L. Leahy '08 received the LL.D. of 
R. I. State College, in addition to being honored in Washing- 
ton at a testimonial arranged by a group of his classmates at 
Georgetown University Law School. The Kingston citation 
by President Woodward: "In the practice of your profes- 
sion, and as a public official, you have played a creative role 
in the making of law, in the interpretation of law, and in ap- 
plying it wisely and courageously for the safeguarding of 
human rights and the perpetuation of our democratic insti- 
tutions. ... As a public-spirited citizen you have given 
of yourself unsparingly . . . County, State, and Nation 
have profited by your unselfish service. . . ." 

Albert W. Claflin '06, President of the R. L College of 
Pharmacy and Allied Sciences, was honored at Providence 
College in the awarding of an LL.D. At this 32nd Com- 
mencement President Wriston gave the graduation address. 
The citation of Dr. Claflin spoke of him as "prominent leader 
in civic affairs and revered pharmaceutical executive." 
"Through your untiring efforts and prudent administration," 
it continued, "your institution of higher learning has at- 
tained a place of eminence among the great institutions of 
its kind in our nation." 

Rt. Rev. Richard S. Emrich '32, Bishop of the Episcopal 
Diocese of Michigan, delivered the baccalaureate sermon at 
Lehigh. ""Education is built upon the patient and humble 
seeking for objective truth wherever it may be found," he 
said. "Dishonest means social chaos, and honesty is a basis 
of order and peace." 

Dr. Arthur R. Tebbutt '27 delivered the Phi Beta Kappa 
address at Albion. Dean of the Graduate School of North- 
western University, he talked on "Education and Your Fu- 
ture." Calling a true liberal arts education a "very practi- 
cal education," he said it provides flexibility in thinking, a 
tolerance in the point of view, and a perspective and ob- 
jectivity toward life. He reminded his hearers that educa- 
tion is a continuing process, one of the obligations of a mem- 
ber of society. 

Carl H. Porter-Shirley '26, Superintendent of Schools in 
Newport, was the speaker at cap and gown exercises at R. I. 
College of Education. 

Previous mention has been made of Provost Arnold's 
LL.D. at Tufts.

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



A Roundup of Reunions 



There are few festivals to compare 
with the reunions of a college class, and 
Brown men sense that theirs are among the 
best. It is this quality, together with the 
faithful work of local committees, which 
accounts for the record number of annual 
Class gatherings which is the envy of other 
colleges. Besides the "Fifty-Plus" Luncheon, 
there were 42 Class gatherings, some sim- 
ple, some elaborate. June of 1950 was no 
exception to other years, even with the 
earlier date for Commencement. For the 
notices beluw we are grateful to the Class 
Secretaries and Reunion Chairmen whose 
reports to this Magazine are thus compiled: 

1885 
Four other members of the 65 year Class 
were guests of Secretary Frank Hail Brown 
at his Spring Green estate and participated 
fully in the campus events of the weekend. 
The five in reunion included Judge Norman 
S. Dike, Frank Mauran, A. Prescott Folwell, 
and Edgar H. Grout.

B. Perkins 19, and S. T. Arnold '13. 

1895 

A letter from Class Secretary Herbert M. 
Adams tells of the reunion enjoyed by four 
members of the Class over Commencement 
weekend. Prof. Walter G. Cady, Rev. Rich- 
ard M. Vaughan, Lucien E. Taylor and Sec- 
retary Adams met at the R. I. Country Club 
in Barrington. Rev. Mr. Vaughan came all 
the way from Orlando, Fla. 

1899 

The Class of '99 has 99 living members, 
and 21 of them attended the 51st anniversary 
dinner at the Hope Club, including Charles

cation is left to right.) 



1890 

As usual, at the LIniversity Club on Com- 
mencement, 1890 was on the top picket of 
the fence that surrounds the world. Out of 
the 79 who started the game with us in 
1890, seven are living; four attended the 
60th reunion. Chapman, Kingsley, W. A. 
Smith, and Grant. In addition we had as our 
guest the grandson of Chapman and Kings- 
ley — Paul Chapman, Brown 1953. During 
our several hours at the Club, we were most 
cordially welcomed and shown every cour- 
tesy. Alfred H. Gurney '07, Secretary of the 
Club, joined us at lunch and added much to 
the celebration. 

1891, 1893 

A dozen members of 1893, joined by four 
members of 1891 and nine other guests, were 
once again the guests of Edward B. Aldrich 
'93 at the Squantum. He has been generous 
host year after year. His classmates present 
were: Thomas P. Corcoran, Edwin B. Dolan, 
Daniel Howard. Clarence E. Ide, Edgar

1900 

"An excellent reunion", was the way Class 
Secretary Clinton C. White started his re- 
port of the 50th anniversary of the Class' 
graduation from Brown. Twenty men at- 
tended the All Alumni Dinner on Friday of 
Commencement weekend, and seven more 
joined them for Saturday and Sunday at the 
Lion-Gate Inn m Watch Hill. Graduation 
photographs served as place-cards at the 
Cli'ss Dmner, and it made Quite a hit as the 
nien tried to "recognize themselves when 
fi:tv years younger." Alumni Secretary Bill 
McCormick addressed the gathering on Sun- 
day. At the business meeting all the officers 
were re-elected: President — Charles G. Rich- 
ardson; Secretary — Clinton C. White; and 
Treasurer — Austin H. Fittz. The officers plus 
Dr. Robert C. Robinson and Arthur L. Perry 
form the Executive Committee which is also 
the Reunion Committee. Fiftieth celebrants

Reunion. At the elections that followed the 
dinner, Vice-President James McCann was 
chosen as President, succeeding Foster B. 
Davis who died on March 25, 1950. Howard

1905 

The Class' 45th Reunion was the best 
ever — everyone said so, and one member 
from the Pacific Coast vowed he would 
come back every year now ! The Warwick 
Club served as Class headquarters for the 
53 stalwarts, but side-trips included an 
afternoon at Fred Broomhead's in Barring- 
ton which even attracted the Pembroke 
'05ers. Howard Barney was toastmaster at 
the Class Dinner on Saturday and Vice-

dress. Fred Schwinn was chosen second

With George Hurley presiding, the 43rd 
;'nnual reun'on dinner of the Class at The 
University Club, Saturday evening, June 3, 
was a pleasant affair. Twelve of us were on 
hand. Bob Curley, from Biddeford, Me., 
came the longest distance, and Dr. Vernon 
K. Krieble of the Trinity Faculty in Hart- 
ford, Conn., was able to attend for the first 
time in 10 years or more. President Hurley 



Reunion Pacific-1895 and 1910 

Two Classes, recognizing an opportunity, held California reunions at Commence- 
ment time, with great success. In the case of 1895 the meeting followed the precedent 
set on the 50th anniversary when, due to wartime restrictions on travel, more '95 got 
together on the Pacific Coast than were able to on the Brown campus. This year 
three men and their wives were entertained at the home of N. W. Dexter and 
Anthony Dexter '02 in Santa Monica. A. A. M.icurda, Theron Clark, and J. R. Dick- 
inson revived memories of the Hill with "Brown 'Verse" (42 of the 184 poems were 
by 1895 men, and the two heaviest contributors were present) and Brown music 
via the record album. 

With eight 1910 men now in California, one in Washington State, and another 
in British Columbia. Steven Pyle had the idea that these men might well try to get 
together to have their own part in the Class' 40th reunion. Five of them gathered 
at the home of Morris F. Conant in Los Angeles June 4 for a splendid six hours. A 
telegram to the group in Providence provided the other '10 men a great thrill. 
William H. Lynn, on the Coast to appear in the stage production of "The Silver 
Whistle" and also to play with James Stewart in the film version of "Harvey," had 
a special welcome. Others attending were George W. G. Carpenter, Mr. and Mrs. 
Malcolm S. Field, and Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Shaeffer. The same men met again 
at the Shaeffer home in Altadena June 10 so that a picture might be taken. The oiily 
Pacific Coast man to reach Rhode Island for the major reunion was Joseph E. Bliss 
of Sherman Oaks, who promised the Californians a firsthand account of all that 
transpired, later in the summer. The Coast group, according to various letters, plans 
other reunions, too. 



called on each member in turn. Even Charlie 
McCann spoke aloud. The Secretary quoted 
from several letters, and voiced his thanks 
to all Classmates who returned their post- 
cards. The diners were Hurley, Shan Clark, 
Curley, Burnham, Bushell, Eddy, Krieble, 
Slade, Knowles, Lane, McCann, and Gurney. 

1908 

Members of the Class and their wives had 
dinner at the R. I. Country Club, including: 
Mr. and Mrs. C. LeRoy Grinnell, Mr. and 
Mrs. James L. Murray, Norman L. Sammis, 
Prof, and Mrs. William W. Browne, Dr. and 
Mrs. Albert C. Thomas, Prof, and Mrs. 
Leslie E. Swain, Norman S. Oise, and (as 
guests) Mrs. Herbert M. Sherwood '16 and 
Eugene W. O'Brien '19. 

1909 

Class Secretary and Reunion Chairman 
Henry S. Chafee arranged an off-year din- 
ner at the Agawam Hunt Club on Sunday 
for returning Classmates who replied in 
greater number than ever before to the no- 
tices sent out. "Harold Tanner's famous 
'iced tea', supplemented by other beverages, 
was favorably received and 26 sat down to 
a good dinner," said the Secretary's post- 
Reunion report. To the Commencement Pa- 
rade on Monday, Paul Everett escorted his 
92-year-old father, Frank A. Everett '82. 

Those present for one or more events 
included: Clarence Bosworth, Bill Buffum, 
Ray Buss, Hugh Cameron, Pick Chace, 
Henry Chafee, Mose Crossley, Bill Con- 
nell, Jim Connolly, Dinks Dodge, Paul 
Everett, Harold Frost, Ev Greene, Everett

1910 

The 46 men who returned for the Class' 
40th Reunion provided probably the largest 
turnout in 1910's history, and to this list 
must be added the five faithful Classmates 
who could not make Providence but met to-

Reunion. They sent a telegram advising the 
Class of their get-together, and Billy Lynn,

sell P. Jones, W. Stanley Barrett, F. C. Car- 
mark, Dr. Frank J. Honan, George R. Ash- 
bey, Dr. Charles J. Fish, D. V. Guillemette,

1923 

The Class took a pretty solid interest in 
Commencement even in this off year, with 
sons and daughters of several 1923 men 
getting their degrees. Among those from 
out of town to witness graduating children 
were the Walter Dolbeares, the Bill Mun- 
roes, the George Leddys, the Allen Sikeses, 
and the Ray Lawsons. 

President John Lownes entertained the 
Class at his home for cocktails Friday night, 
the men going from there to the Alumni 
Dinner and the wives dining together else- 
where. On the campus later there was a 
1923 table, with 1924 couples also joining 
the large group. Two years in a row have 
set up a very pleasant tradition for Class 
Night, continuing friendships on the distaff 
side which began at the 25th reunion. On 
Monday morning Bill McCormick and Jed 
Jones were again hosts at Breakfast at the 
University Club, and the delegation in line 
was one of the biggest. 

Among those at the reunion: F. O. Allen, 
Jr., Fred Beede, W. C Worthington, Dr. 
Marsden Earle, T. R. Jeffers, Lawrence 
Lanpher, Albert N. Sherberg, Nathaniel B. 
Chase, Edward A. Hummel, Albert O.

The Start at the Finish 

Edmund L. Eveleth '32, whose 
movie library of 15,000 feet of color 
film on ocean racing is one of the 
largest of its kind in the country, set 
something of a record when the 1950 
Newport-to-Bcrmuda race was sailed. 

He photographed the start of the 
race off Newport, rushed the films to 
Rochester for processing, flew to Ber- 
muda with the prints, and edited the 
reels in time to show them to the 
yachtsmen who completed the race a 
few days later.

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



1941, 1942, 1943 
The combining of three off-year classes 
in one Reunion was extremely successful

members D. Francis Finn '43, "Wilham 
Jewett '41, William McClelland '41, James 
A. Cunningham, Jr., '41, William Crooker 
'42 and Robert Rockwell '42 — is certain 
that more men returned this year than would 
have come back to separately-organized class 
affairs and that the whole program had more 
to offer for less individual expense than if 
the Classes had gone their own ways. 

The Pawtucket Country Club was the 
scene of the big dinner-dance on Saturday 
night of Commencement weekend, and 
prizes were awarded at the dinner to the 
alumnus from furthest away — Phil Sincoff 
'42 from of St. Louis — and the one with the 
oldest child — Jim Sands '41 whose son, Jim,

lured some 60 members to the full schedule 
of events that began with a cocktail party 
before the All-Alumni Dinner on Friday

at the Taunton Inn on Saturday. 

Samuel T. Arnold, Jr., and A. Peter 
Quinn, Jr., co-chairmen, and Knight Ed- 
wards and Joe Macioci formed the Com- 
mittee that planned the weekend, highlight 
of which was a Softball game that saw Dave 
Parker's "Yanigans" defeat Lou DeAngelis' 
"A Squad", 19-8. At the elections, to cover 
the period through 1955, Phil Teschner was 
chosen President; Jim Starkweather, Vice- 
President; Pete Quinn, Secretary; Knight 
Edwards, Treasurer; and Bill Bateman and 



R. Harper Brown to the Executive Commit-

Brown Clubs: Fall Revival 



Early fall activity by Brown Clubs in 
various parts of the country have featured 
send-offs to the undergraduates from the 
areas, particularly the new Freshmen and 
their fathers. These alumni-student gather- 
ings are always popular. Other special events 
on the Brown Club calendar are prompted 
by visits of the Brown football team to such 
strong alumni centers as New Haven, New 
Jersey, Philadelphia, and Boston. Novem- 
ber's highlight comes for a succession of 
Clubs in the tour of Vice-President Bruce 
M. Bigelow '24, noted below. 

First reports from Brown Club Secretaries 
are the following: 

Dr. Bigelow on the Rood 

Vice-President Bruce M. Bigelow '24 is 
off on his swing of the Mid-Western Brown 
Club circuit. His schedule is a strenuous 
one, but he has arranged the return loop to 
land him in Philadelphia in time to join 
Pennsylvania Brunonians in celebrating on 
the eve of the Penn-Brown football game. 
We hope they'll be celebrating on Saturday 
as well. 

At press time. Dr. Bigelow was not sure 
of the locations of all meetings. We suggest 
that Brown Club members contact their 
local Club Secretary for this information. 
The Vice-President's schedule is as follows: 

Oct. 30 — Buffalo Brown Club Dinner. 
Oct. 31 — Cleveland Brown Club Dinner 

at LIniversity Club. 
Nov. 1 — Combined Akron and Canton 

Brown Clubs Dinner at Akron 

University Club. 
Nov. 3 — Chicago Brown Club Luncheon 

at University Club. 
Nov. 6 — St. Louis Brown Club Luncheon 

at Noonday Club. 
Nov. 7 — Indianapolis Brown Club Lunch- 
eon at Indianapolis Athletic Club. 

Cincinnati Brown Club Dinner. 
Nov. 9 — Western Pennsylvania Brown 

Club Dinner in Pittsburgh. 
Nov. 10 — Philadelphia Brown Club Dinner 

at Hotel Warwick. 




LOS ANGELES has chosen Brig. Gen. Francis 
W. Rollins 16 OS its Brown Club President 
for the year just begun. 

Before the Penn Game 

Philadelphia alumni are planning big 
things over the Armistice Day weekend when

informal", and the price is $4.00 per place, 
including gratuities. Our own Dwight 
Colley '18 will emcee, and Vice-President 
Bigelow '24 is expected to be the principal 
guest. 

In addition, the General Alumni Secre- 
tary of Penn has invited all Brown alumni 
to join Penn alumni at a pre-game (12 noon

On Foreign Soil 

The Brown Club of Western New York 
held its annual Summer Outing at the Bay 
Beach, Ontario, residence of Fillmore Hall 
'26, and it was the biggest and best yet for 
the ever-growing organization. An early 
morning golf game preceded the main 
gathering, and Dan Wadsworth '46 won 
on his home course with an 83. 

At 2:30 the crowd started to arrive, and 
the following men were present: Lou Berger 
'41, Walt Henry '36, Bill Barton '45, Herb 
Astmann '32, Bill Nenno '51, Don Nenno 
'43, Dick Rieser '36, Paul Rohrdanz '41, 
Bob Alexander '49. Clarence Roth '46, Doug 
Whiteside '36, Tom Abbott '50, Andy 
Hillhouse '19, Bob King '50, Jim Gregory 
'43, Wes Roth (entering Freshman) and 
Hall and Wadsworth. Many of the men 
brought their wives and Andy Hillhouse 
brought his wife and daughter. There was 
plenty of good food, good beer and good 
fellowship, and at night everyone went down 
to the Crystal Beach Amusement Park, which

motif for this blithe letterhead designed for 
the Lackawanna Brown Club in New Jersey 
by the wife of William C. Myers '44.

is owned by Fill Hall's family and one of 
the largest in the country. 

At the elections in the evening, Doug 
Whiteside was elected President and Bill 
Barton, Secretary. The Club is growing by 
leaps and bounds, and we know that the 
new officers will maintain the enthusiasm. 
A main purpose of the organization from 
now on is to promote Brown in the high 
schools and prep schools throughout West- 
ern New York. We are proud that Wes Roth 
is on campus this fall, for in him we have 
sent to Brown a fine boy, a good student and 
a catcher who should warm the cockles of 
Coach Lefebvre's heart. 

The Buffalo alumni call special attention 
to the scheduling of a regular luncheon meet- 
ing on the first Tuesday of each month at 
the Hotel Lafayette in Buffalo. Any Brown 
man in the area, resident or transient, is 
cordially invited to attend the 1 p.m. 
gatherings.

Washington Plans 

The Washington Brown Club's bowl- 
ing team captain, George Hurley '41, has 
issued his annual call for Brown men in and 
around Washington to come out and bowl 
with fellow alumni against the 16 other 
schools represented in the Intercollegiate 
League. Todd Shotton '41 is Vice-President 
of the League this year. 

The Club President, Don Ranard '41, now 
has an acting Special Assistant, Tom McCabe 
'40. Tom's first assignment is to arrange for 
the viewing by members of the Brown-Penn- 
sylvania game on television.

Harvard and Brown 

Alumni of Harvard and Brown will 
dine Thursday evening, Nov. 16 at the 
Wannamoisett Country Club in East Provi- 
dence in what promises to be a repetition of 
the successful undertaking of a few years 
ago. The joint sponsors are the Harvard 
Club of Rhode Island and the Rhode Island 
Brown Club, which selected the date just 
prior to the football meeting between the 
two institutions in Cambridge Nov. 18. 

The principal speaker will be David Mc- 
Cord, Harvard Fund Council executive, who 
is famed as well to the non-Crimson public 
for his New Yorker verse, other poetry, an- 
thologies, and radio programs. The former 
Editor of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin, com- 
piler of that gay anthology, "What Cheer," 
is currently preparing a new edition of the 
Carolyn Wells Book of Light Verse. His 
latest volume of poetry, in serious vein, is 
"A Star by Day." As a speaker he has few 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



equals for the felicitous word and promise of 
entertainment. 

Emery R. Walker '39, Dean of Admission, 
will do the honors for Brown. The toast- 
master's role again falls to Claude R. Branch, 
Brown '07, who took his law studies at 
Harvard. The football interests will be 
served by Gus Zitrides, Varsity coach at 
Brown, and Henry Lamar, Harvard Fresh- 
man coach. Later in the evening movies of 



the 1949 Brown-Colgate game will be shown 

for those who care to remain. 

Co-chairmen of arrangements are Robert 
M. Parker, for the Harvard Club, and Wil- 
liam D. Reynolds '37, for Brown. The com- 
mittee also includes Alan P. Cusick '32, 
Paul F. Gleeson '32, and Stanley F. Mathes 
'39, all of Brown. Members of the Rhode 
Island Brown Club and their guests are in- 
vited to the dinner, which will be served at 
7. Tickets cost $4.50.

Sex as Well as Kitchens 

Sex should be taught along 
with cooking, in the opinion of Prof. 
Herbert D. Lamson '24, Boston Uni- 
versity sociologist. Speaking before 
the American Home Economics Asso- 
ciation's college and university divi- 
sion last summer, he asked: "Where 
are the girls in high schools to get 
a clear picture of this if you do not 
give it to them? The homes don't 
give it. The biologists are too inter- 
ested in the lower animals." 

The teachers, he feels, are in a 
strategic position to do a good job. 
If they really want to combat broken 
homes, they must be able to talk to 
their students about their personal 
problems, as well as improving their 
kitchens. "Haven't we been pushed 
around enough by local bigots?" he 
asked. "We have now reached the 
time when sex education and adjust- 
ment should cease to be maverick 
subjects."

A Memorial Room for Chauncey Wheeler 

The Wheeler Room, centrally located on the main floor of Oliver Wendell 
Holmes Hall in the new graduate living center at Harvard, has been named in honor 
of Chauncey E. Wheeler '09 (Harvard Law 1911), and was made possible by a 
$40,000 fund realized by clients, partners and friends of the late Providence lawyer. 
On Oct. 6 a plaque was dedicated, naming the room in honor of a man who had 
practiced continuously in Providence for 36 years, had served as Chairman of the 
R. I. Board of Bar Examiners and was a Trustee of Brown and member of the Board 
of Editors of this magazine at the time of his death. 

The room is designed to provide both an informal lounge and a special meeting 
room for law student gatherings. It will also serve for the "moot court" program, a 
regular part of legal training at Harvard. Brown men who joined in contributing to 
the commemorative fund include: James F. Armstrong '18, Harvey A. Baker '03, 
Henry S. Chafee '09, Woodworth L. Carpenter '30, Roger T. Clapp '19, Noel M.

A Muzzle for the Bear 



The melancholy month of October 
came to an end for the Brown Bear with 
only a victory over Rhode Island to show 
for five encounters. The scores: Yale 36, 
Brown 12. Holy Cross 41, Brown 21. Brown 
55, Rhode Island 13. Princeton 34, Brown 0. 
Colgate 35, Brown 34. 

It was a reputable, aggressive Brown team, 
trying hard to produce for Gus Zitrides in 
his first season as head coach. But it did not 
have the experience, polish, or depth to 
make its best move in the early games. It 
could not sustain its peak play, offensively 
or defensively, against foes which capitalized 
on every lapse. With those opponents all 
stronger, Brown's own weakness seemed 
more pronounced by comparison this fall. 

But it was providing interesting football, 
improving appreciably from week to week, 
and ne.irly pulled one out of the fire against 
Colgate by scoring (for the second time in 
two years) four touchdowns in the last 
quarter. It was still looking for an Ivy 
League or even a major victory. 

Watching each new try, you realized that 
Zitrides had been realistic in talking about 
things at the start of the season. We did 
miss" those 18 lettermen from 1949, in the 
backfield especially. The replacements were 
green and seemed to unsettle the veterans 
at critical moments. Fumbles, defensive slips, 
missed or ignored assignments, poor play 
selection — all brought their cost and their 
disheartening. But Brown partisans, proud 
of the team's gameness and spirit, weren't 
giving up on them ; no one was crying. 

Early season injuries delayed the forging 
of a team and meant that some operators had 
to serve on offense and defense. Zitrides 
opened with Altieri and Powers at end, 
Macko and Captain Hill at tackle, Pietro 
and Chernak at guard. Sexton at center; 
Pastuszak at quarter, Lenker and Martland 
at half, and Piscuskas at full. Bryson and 
Hutchinson were to back up on defense. The 
squad statistics and the game reports tell 
you about these men and the replacements 
who came up to challenge for their berths, 
including some "regulars" who were on the 
injury list for the first week or fortnight. 

YALE 36, BROWN 12 
Less than six minutes after the kickoff 
on a 70-degree afternoon in the Yale Bowl, 
the El is had scored against Brown, going 
54 yards in 10 plays. It was a tip-off on 
what was coming, for Yale scored four 
touchdowns in the six times it gained the 



ball in the first half. While Dick Brown ran 
back the second kickoff 41 yards, Yale held 
again and went 86 yards in 11 plays, but it 
was a fourth-down pass on our 17 which was 
the pivotal effort. Tisdale had previously 
made good on a 43-yard aerial. 

Here came a break that promised to give 
the Bruins their needed lift and put them 
back in the ball game, for a tipped forward 
was intercepted by Sarson of Brown, who 
went all the way under a five-man escort 
from the 42-yard line. That made it only 
13-6, and the Brown forward wall, of which 
so much had been expected, braced to hold 
for downs on its 16. Our offense began to 
click, with a pass from Pastuszak to Piscu- 
skas followed by a nice run by Markoff to 
the Blue's 42. Then came the first of the 
season's many fumbles, and the formidable 
Senay capitalized for Yale by bursting 
through tackle immediately for a touchdown. 
In allthis fast back gained 171 yards, more 
than the whole Brown backfield netted all 
day. Later, with time for only one more 
plav on our 30, Senay took a pitchout and 
made it 26-6. 

Brown picked up early in the third quar- 
ter, but the safety men later fouled up a 
reverse on a punt reception and fumbled on 
their 18. Though Yale gained a first down 
inside our four, they were held in a good 
show of stubbornness (one forward into the 
end-zone was nullified by a penalty), but 
this stand only meant a field goal instead of 
a touchdown. When it was thus 29-6, the 
press box announcer said, flatteringly, "Hick- 
man's strategy is to make it necessary for 
Brown to score four touchdowns to take 
over the lead." Only one of those four fol- 
lowed, but it came promptly after a Yale 
fumble on its 44. Martland, subbing for the 
injured MacConnell, went the last seven 
yards on a reverse, without even being 
tagged. The final Eli score was also on a 
pass. 

While the Brown line play was disap- 
pointing, offensive and defensive errors in 
the backfield were even more costly. Men 
were pulled out of position (on one play 
all but one Brunonian in the secondary 
jumped up into the line, and a touchdown 
was prompt answer). Other ineptness by 
green operators made Yale look better than 
it was. On one promising play, our receiver 
wasn't looking at an otherwise perfect pass. 
Pastuszak, who was the Ivy League's leading 
pass interceptor last year, missed his back- 
field partners from that 1949 combination, 

28 



and weakness against aerials was marked, 
despite work on this phase after it had 
darkened otherwise satisfactory pre-season 
scrimmages against Springfield and Boston 
University. Brown was not ready for such an 
opening game. 

If there is anything in those "Bowl jit- 
ters," Brown had them. But those jitters 
seem only to apply in the even years, for 
the contest continued the alternation of vic- 
tories that has persisted since 1941. Follow- 
ing a tie in 1939, Brown has won in 1940, 
1941, 1943, 1945, 1947, and 1949. Though 
losing in the intermediate autumns, the 
Bears have triumphed over Yale more often 
than any other opponent in that era. But in 
1950 Yale rolled up its highest score against 
Brown, except for 1934 and 1936. 

"I hope the boys learned something out 
there today," Zitrides said when he showed 
up for the big post-game Brown reunion at 
the Hotel Garde, sponsored by the New 
Haven Brown Club. Again the sections be- 
hind the goal-posts at the Bowl were filled 
with Connecticut kids, and the Whiffenpoofs 
carried on another Brown-game tradition 
with an entr'acte. (These shows, begun in 
1910, were interrupted for a bit after 1932 
because a 21 -inch fish arrived in the lap of a 
Yale dignitary.) 

Game statistics: first downs — Yale 22, 
Brown 10. Rushing yardage — Yale 325, 
Brown 105. Passes — Yale 10 of 18 tries for 
146 yards; Brown 6 of 20 for 89. 

HOLY CROSS 41, BROWN 21 

Dr. Eddie Anderson, whose teams had 
never been beaten by Brown, returned to 
Holy Cross this fall and carried on from 
where he left off. Again forward passes 
proved the Bears' downfall, as Maloy threw 
four touchdown balls. But Brown turned in 
a better game than it did against Yale. Ex- 
cept for passes, the defense was stronger. On 
the attack, the Bear spurted and then 
wobbled. Against a team farther advanced 
in its preparation, it was caught off balance, 
not for long but long enough. 

On Holy Cross' first play, for example, 
Maloy heaved a long arching pass down the 
middle from his 49-yard line, and Turco 
caught it on our 30 and outran the field for 
a touchdown. LTndaunted, the Bruins went to 
work and tried to even matters with a 78- 
yard drive to the Purple 10. At this point the 
first of five fumbles yielded the ball.' The 
Crusaders hit for two more touchdowns in 
two minutes of the second quarter. A 55-yard 
run by Massucco set up the first. The second 
followed a 65-yard punt by MacConnell 
which Manganiello ran back to our 10. 

In the second period Brown got a life. 
When the Crusaders were about to kick on 
fourth down from their 43, a bad pass went 
over the punter's head, and Brown took over 
on the 20. A forward was intercepted after a 
first down on the nine, but another advance 
from the 33 ended with Be.iulieu carrying 
over from the three. Then came the real 
break of the game. The Bruins had gained 
possession after a fumble on the Purple 34. 
On a forward from Eldredge, MacConnell 
h.id only to step across the goal-line from 
three yards out, but in turning he lost the 
ball. An interception and a 50-yard pass 
pliy from Maloy to Turco ended the half 
with a score. For the second time in two 
weeks, the Bears went off the field with a 
hostile touchdown squeezed in on the half's 
final play. It was 27-7, when it could so 
easily have been a spirit-raising 21-14. 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



Even so, there was fight enough to hold 
off the Purple when it had a first down on 
the five in the third period. But Turco went 
again from midfield to make it 34-7. Brown 
held for downs twice more in that frame, 
and then proceeded to move in the fourth 
when Lenker's pass interception near mid- 
field provided the opportunity. Leone passed 
to White twice for all but two of the yards, 
and Lenker scored. Sexton pounced on a 
Purple fumble on his 24, and Leone's pass 
to White went 25 yards for the touchdown 
payoff of the 76-yard expedition. That could 
have been the last of the scoring, at 34-21, 
but, with nothing to lose. Brown did not 
kick, gambled on a fourth down pass from 
its 15, and missing out on the full first- 
down distance, yielded another touchdown 
on the first play thereafter. 

It had been a scoring spree, but Brown 
partisans came home with much to be en- 
couraged about. Game statistics: First downs 
— Holy Cross 17, Brown 14. Rushing yard- 
age — Holy Cross 202, Brown 130. Passes — 
Holy Cross 9 of 24 for 253 yards; Brown 
10 of 21 for 160. 

BROWN 55, RHODE ISLAND 13 

If ever .^ team was zealous, it was 
Rhode Island State's this fall. Rhody had a 
new coach, Hal Kopp, who was a Bruin as- 
sistant before the war sent him off to Africa. 
It had determination to improve on its rec- 
ord of winning once in 35 years against 
Brown. It had new campus morale behind 
it, fired by a slogan of "Beat Brown" that 
was set up as objective as long ago as last 
winter. It still had the rankling memory of 
a Broun Daily Herald editorial which had 
urged an end to the Brown-R. I. series as 
too one-sided and of no interest. It came to 
Providence "up" for the game. 

But Brown wanted to win, too, and had 
more to do it with. Still playing sloppy foot- 
ball but enjoying the workout of every man 
on the bench who was in shape to compete, 
the Bruins collected five touchdowns in the 
first half and three more in the second. It 
was mush less of a contest than the crowd 
of 12,000 had anticipated. Lee Markoff, 
Sophomore who had his first starting assign- 
ment at half, celebrated by romping for 
three touchdowns, all on short bucks. Beau- 
lieu, Piscuskas, and Carson also counted 
from clore in. One pass figured (Leone to 
Powers for 25 yards), and MacConnell ran 
a reverse for 14 to account for the other 
score. Pastuszak made good on seven of 
eight conversion essays. The total of points 
was as high as the series has ever produced. 

Again there were fumbles, seven of them 
by Brown, but they mattered less in this 
game. For the linemen checked the State 
running attack, and Rhody's 10 successful 
pass attempts in 29 tries brought only 76 
yards. Passes that didn't get off contributed 
to the minus-31 yards that the State rushing 
total showed. In the mean time. Brown 
gained 18 first downs to State's 7, netted 242 
yards rushing and 156 in 10 pass comple- 
tions out of 26 throws. It was 34-0 at the 
half, and Zitrides' first victory presented 
fewer problems than had been expected. It 
became an opportunity to wield team-play, 
give every reserve his chance, and to work 
out against a foe more stubborn than the 
score suggests, with Princeton on deck for 
the homecoming and Stadium Day.

The 1900 Varsity 

The photo of the 1900 football team in 
tlie Anniversary Issue of this magazine 
prompts in Jesse G. Melendy 'Ot of New 
York the idea that available members of the 
eleven might get together in Providence 
this fall. It is, of course, the 50th anniver- 
sary of their playing. 

Survivors of the squad, listed in the 1901 
Liber, are the following: LeRoy Bartlett 
02, retired Army Lt. Col., Berkeley, Calif. 
W. P. Bates '02, owner-manager of a sum- 
mer resort at Potter Pond, South Kings- 
town, R. 1. H. R. Keene '04, retired from 
Government service and living in Water- 
ville. Me. E. R. Scudder '04, caster manu- 
facturing. Palmer, Mass. T. J. Sheehan 
'02, engineer and draftsman. West Medford, 
Mass. A. R. Wheeler '01, retired from the 
Faculty of St. George's School, Newport, 
R. I. Rev. A. H. Abbott '03, retired Con- 
gregational minister, Norwich, Conn. H. E. 
Kimball '04, President Cliquot Club Dot- 
tling Co., Providence. Mr. Melendy is pro- 
duction consultant for a chemical company 
in New York. 

Two members of the team, now dead, 
were prominent as coaches: T. A. Barry 
'03 preceded Knute Rockne as Notre Dame 
football mentor, while A. H. Whittemore 
'01 was coach and athletic director at the 
University of South Dakota. Others, no 
longer living, were: W. A. Hall '04, Super- 
intendent of Schools in Concord, Mass. 
A. L. Slocum '01, a medical missionary in 
India. R. C. Wade '04, Boston newspaper- 
man. H. B. Ball '04, manufacturer of news- 
paper presses. M. H. Cann '03, grain mer- 
chant in Cuba. Capt. Libe Washburn '01, 
engineer. Brown lost track of S. B. Newton 
'04.

Second, recognize as your deadly enemy 
anyone who tells you to take care of Number 
One and let the rest care for themselves. 
If a fraction of what is said of atomic 
weapons is true, the civilian is not going to 
be much safer than the soldier — and not 
nearly so well taken care of. 

There is no escape into isolationism — 
personal or national. The man who says, "I 
will learn my trade," and prepares himself 
to make a living and to let someone else 
handle citizenship is socially isolationist 
— and fatuous beyond belief, just as it would 
be mad for a nation to think that after forty 
years of folly it can tend to its own knitting, 
sit behind tarilT walls, oceans, and radar 
screens, with life as usual. The only avenue 
toward safety (a goal you will never reach), 
is by developing a sense of social responsi- 
bility, by attaining political competence, and 
by making yourself an effective part of the 
human race. 

The world cannot be governed by experts ; 
it must be governed by public opinion and 
that means that the citizens must take a 
broad view. One of the worst follies of our 
time has been the assertion that the problems 
of the world are so complicated that citizens 
cannot understand them and they must be 
left to the experts. 

This defeatist idea has led to a series of 
capsule policies, compressed into slogans: 
A World Safe for Democracy; Open Cove- 
nants Openly Arrived At; a League of Free 
Peoples; the Outlawry of War; Uncondi- 
tional Surrender; a United Nations with 
Force at its Command; the Marshall Plan, 
the Atlantic Pact — each of these (all but 
one of them possessing intrinsic validity) 
has been so oversold as to draw it out of 
perspective. As Mr. Baruch has said, as we 
flit from slogan to slogan, "we continue to 
stagger from crisis to crisis." While we con- 
centrate on Europe with the Marshall Plan, 
the Far East flares up; while we concentrate 
on the Far East, the crisis mounts in Europe. 

THE VALIDITY OF OUR PROGRAM 

LIntil public opinion is dominated by 
the liberal arts education (and it can be if 
mass education in America is put on a sound 
basis), we will never achieve political or 
social or — the key to both — moral maturity. 
To those ends, your reasonable .service at 
the moment here in Brown is to participate 
in the liberal arts. 

The liberal arts are not merely a list of 
studies that lead to a Bachelor of Arts degree. 
The key to the liberal arts is a desire to be a 
competent amateur as well as an able profes- 
sional. There is no hostility between being 
professionally competent and socially effec- 
tive, between knowing your business and 
having some political sense, or between 
doing a day's work and living an interesting 
life in moments of leisure. It is one of the 
symptoms of the disorder of our times that 
as working hours have become shorter 
leisure is treated not as an opportunity' but 
as a problem. Men who have nothing on their 
minds are dangerous when they are left 
alone. 

Here at Brown is one of the rare oppor- 
tunities which exists in the world. Looking 
at the world at large you have a rare op- 
portunity to learn something about the 
experience of mankind in the past, something 
of the principles by which society and its 



30 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



political and economic and social and reli- 
gious life have been organized, something 
about the meaning of life itself. 

Background is essential, for so superficial 
and kaleidoscopic is the passing scene that 
unless corrected by perspective we fall out 
of the habit of remembering and let things 
go by as transient phenomena and on into 
oblivion. It requires an effort just to remem- 
ber the name of Joe McCarthy either in the 
Senate or in baseball; yet one of them played 
a great part in the development of the 
national sport and the other made a notable 
contribution to public irresponsibility, polit- 
ical immorality, and intellectual confusion. 
This is a reminder that facts do not stick 
in your mind unless they are woven into a 
fabric of organized thought and they are 
not worth remembering unless they contrib- 
ute somehow to matured judgment and 
become the cud which you chew to achieve 
reflective wisdom. 

Recently I saw some statistics. They were 
painfully gathered in Australia by a group 
of scientists who made round-the-clock 
observations of a herd of cattle. They re- 
vealed apparent idleness combined with 
astonishing industry. Cattle are beautifully 
organized to produce milk. Since that is 
their function in life everything is subordi- 
nated to it. The Book of Proverbs suggested 
that you should go to the ant; the older 
generation thinks you are going to the dogs ; 
perhaps I should suggest that you go to 
the cattle and learn to chew the cud of 
reflection more than has been customary. 

THE VIOLENT METAPHOR 
I AM AFRAID the name of Bertrand Russell 
does not mean much to most of you ; he 
is a member of the British peerage, a great 
mathematician, and a distinguished philos- 
opher; in the Victorian sense, at least, he 
would never be thought of as a moralist. 
He recently wrote an article likening our 
times to the Fall of Rome, when "as now, 
varying moods of despair, escape and robust 
faith were exemplified in the writings of 
leading men." He urges that we develop a 
sense of perspective and quotes Spinoza, 
who advised men to view passing affairs 
"under the aspect of eternity." "Those who 
learn to do this," says Lord Russell, "will 
find that it takes away the frantic quality of 




FRESHMAN HERO Rod Scott stretched the last few inches to win the annual flagrush for 
his Class. They carried off the greased pole in triumph. 



misfortune and prevents the trend toward 
madness that comes with overwhelming 
disaster:" "Everyone . . . can enlarge his 
mind, release his imagination and spread 
wide his affection and benevolence. And it 
is those who do this whom ultimately man- 
kind reveres." 

If you fritter away your opportunity on 
this campus, it is not likely to recur. 
There is a striking passage in the scripture: 
"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, 
neither cast ye your pearls before swine, 
lest they trample them under their feet, and 
turn again and rend you." It is a violent 
metaphor, so strong and incisive that it has 
entered into the habits of our language and 



is used commonly by men who never read 
the scripture. But it is not too strong a 
figure of speech to apply to the boy who 
spends the time, the money, and the parental 
and faculty energy — not to speak of a 
modicum of his own — to come to college 
for a degree while sedulously avoiding an 
education. It can be done; that form of 
intellectual suicide has occurred many times 
on many an American campus — cynics would 
say more often than not. But in grim times 
like these it is unbelievably stupid; it ought 
to be incredible. The decision on that point 
is not the decision of the Government, not 
the decision of the Faculty — it rests for each 
of you with yourself.
