They're in the New Refectory! 




BROWNS $2,000,000 REFhcioRY is tinislied at last. In 
fact, by the time you read this it will have been op- 
erating over a month and a half and will have served 
more than 200,000 meals. It's a handsome addition to the 
Campus, an inspiring indication of the rising Quadrangle's 
promise. But best of all, it is already beginning to prove the 
faith of those who conceived it as a vital need in the under- 
graduate life of Brown. 

For Brown, the Refectory — -third unit to be completed in 
the $10,000,000 Building and Development program 
(Whitehall, a classroom building, and Andrews Hall at Pem- 
broke were opened in 1946 and 1947 respectively) — is a 14- 
year-old dream come true. In his first report to the Corpora- 
tion in 1937, President Wriston spoke of the University's 
need for increased student housing and dining facilities. In 
1948 the Corporation voted unanimous approval of the 
Quadrangle project. In 1949 ground for the Refectory was 
formally broken by President Wriston, Chancellor Henry D. 
Sharpe '94 and Chairman Arthur B. Homer '17 of the Stu- 
dent Housing Board. On Jan. 31, 1951, the most specialized 
college dining hall in the United States was opened for 
breakfast. 

A Campus Revolution 

As Henry H. Smith '40 said in a nine-page feature story 
in the Providence Sunday Journal's "Rhode Islander," "One 
day it was an unknown quantity — an orderly mass of stain- 
less and structural steel, concrete, glazed tile, quarry rock, 
fans, filters, pipes, traps, unopened cartons of china, glasses, 
silver, and ice cream machine parts and boxed and frozen 
food. The next day, 1184 hungry students, who wouldn't 



have had any other place lo cat anyway, filed in, sat down (a 
little awed by all the splendor) and ate hot food." 

As for William N. Davis, Manager of Student Residences 
and Dining Halls, and his assistant, Alan P. Maynard '47, 
and all the rest — "One day they were getting ready; the next 
they were serving dinners like crazy." 

The marvel of it was that they went about it with such a 
minimum of confusion. Swiftly, easily, the undergraduates 
slipped into a new habit in campus living. It was revolution- 
ary in many respects, although you had to stop to appreciate 
it. The doors on the unloved Flat Top were locked. The old 
cafeteria in Faunce House was shortly to become a game 
room. Seventeen other separate kitchens and 17 dining 
rooms, with 17 refrigerators and 17 storage rooms and 17 
dishwashing set-ups (variously efficient) and 17 pantries in 
the fraternity houses, were now all consolidated. 

But, more than that, everyone was now walking three 
times a day to the common meeting place and converging 
on it, everyone was under one roof for a meal. There was the 
impact of everyone being served at once, yet quietly ajid 
with some decent regard for the amenities. All were there 
together, and yet there was the intimate sociability of your 
own table, without the overwhelming sense or sound of num- 
bers. 

A few "bugs" appeared in the system at once. Davis and 
Maynard were watching for them, of course. Some equip- 
ment which was called for in the specifications and will im- 
prove matters was not yet at hand — certain heat-retaining 
covers, for example. Acoustic treatment of the fraternity 
rooms was ordered. A few details of operation were 



MARCH 1951 





promptly revised, but the building proved flexible. With a 
loyal staff responding to the great new challenge, learning a 
refinement here and there with each new meal, and plainly 
proud to be on show before the boys and a swarm of visitors, 
the big job went well. The wonderful new giant on the Hill 
was proving benevolent as well as awesome. 

Architects' Two-Level Design 

Occupying space that extends the length of Thayer St. be- 
tween George St. and what was formerly a portion of Be- 
nevolent St., the Refectory parallels the south wing of Hege- 
man Hall and has its northwest corner opposite the east end 
of St. Stephen's Church. In keeping with the entire Quad- 
rangle project which is rapidly taking shape around it, the 
Refectory is of Colonial Georgian architecture. 

The brick exterior, laid in Flemish bond, covers a basic 
structure of reinforced concrete. The roof is slate, the off- 
white trim — massive columns framing the four main en- 
trances, window balustrades, roof cupolas — is of wood. Co- 
lonial green doors are set off by brass hardware. All the main 
entrances face in towards the Quadrangle Campus, two on 
the west and two on the south. Employees' entrances, the 
delivery entry and auxiliary exits are on Thayer Street. 

The Refectory is designed on two main levels, dining and 
kitchen, with a basement level below the kitchen for ma- 
chinery and storage. Hub of the building is a square central 
core that houses an elevator and four endless-chain type sub- 
veyors connecting the dining and kitchen levels. Surroimding 
this hub on four sides is the serving area around which are 
centered, on the kitchen level, all the food preparation and 
dishwashing facilities and, on the dining level, the main din- 
ing room and the 18 perimeter dining rooms. 

This central serving area is the key to the Refectory's 
unique efficiency. When food arrives via the elevator, hot 
from the kitchen on four trucks that hold 400 servings each, 
it is moved to the four serving counters that are lined up, two 
to a side, along the north and south walls of the serving area. 
Here the food is redistributed to stainless steel platters and 
serving dishes for the waiters to carry to the tables. Each 
serving counter has steam table, toaster and refrigerator 
facilities to accommodate 400 meals — just enough to feed a 
quadrant, one of the four sections into which the dining area 
is divided for serving efficiency. 

IVaiters and Family Style 

The serving counters not only keep the food hot until serv- 
ing time, but they also permit more personal service on the 
part of the waiters. Even special athletic menus can be given 
to training tables. Wrestlers, for example, have two groups — 
one for building, the other for controlling weight. Bread and 
rolls are kept warm in portable ovens that can be adjusted 
for crispness, and coffee is poured from glass-lined urns that 
dispense it with or without cream at the flip of a lever. Water 
runs ice-cold from dining-room faucets. Built-in serving 
stands that line the inner walls of the dining room (the outer 
walls of the serving area) provide cupboard space for silver- 
ware, glasses and newly designed University-crested china. 

Since each waiter takes care of only two tables and the 
furthest any waiter has to travel from serving counter to

diner is 64 feet, a uniformity in eating time is assured. 
Promptness is abetted by the fact that the doors close 
promptly at the scheduled hour. When we observed the 
luncheon operation, the doors were opened at 12:30 and 
everyone was eating his first course by 12:35. Latecomers 
may eat in the Ivy Room cafeteria on their contract tickets. 
Lights on the dining room walls signal to the waiters that 
the doors have been locked and the food is ready to be 
served. Service is family style: the waiters leave the food on 
the tables, and the students "dish it out" for themselves. The 
walnut-finished tables are square, each one seating eight men 
in matching armed chairs. The furniture is the same for both 
main and small dining rooms, and the tables (designed along 
lines suggested by Davis), are collapsible for storage within 
six inches of space. 

Not Merely "a Place to Eat" 

And so, today, are some 1200 contract students being 
served each noon and each evening in the 100-table capacity 
main dining room and the 17 fraternity dining rooms. 
(When full, the dining area can serve 1640 undergraduates.) 
At breakfast time they wait on themselves, filing past the 
serving counters cafeteria-style. To speed up the service, 
wheeled refrigerators that hold six cases of milk bottles each 
are rolled up directly from the delivery dock, and portable 
grills for frying eggs, griddle cakes, etc., are brought up from 
the kitchen. In the morning, the eight electric-eye operated 
doors are locked open to speed up the waiter runs between 
the serving area and the dining rooms. Using this system, 
officials estimate that 3000 to 5000 cou'd be cared for in an 
hour and 20 minutes if emergency conditions should in- 
crease the campus population. 

Right now, the serving emphasis is on speed, mainly be- 
cause the waiters are in a hurry to get their jobs done. But 
Refectory officials are trying to encourage the students to 
linger at the tables for a little after-dinner sociability. Several 
of the fraternities sit around for demi-tasse after the evening 
meal, and some nights the sound of well-fed singing voices 
emanates from one or another of the small dining rooms for 
some time after the tables have been cleared. This is all part 
of the promise expressed in the "Open House" pamphlet 
which stated: "Rather than merely a place to eat, the Refec- 
tory has been designed to become an important center in the 
social and educational life of all students." It will take time 
for this design to be fully realized, but the opportunities are 
there. 

Board is contracted for at $215 a semester — $13 a week 
for 20 meals — or $200 a semester for 1 8 meals a week. 

Attractwe as Well as Efficient 

The presence of the central serving area, in effect, divides 
the main dining room into four long dining rooms. Since the 
ceiling level of the core and of the perimeter dining rooms 
is lower than that of the main dining room, clerestory win- 
dows on both the inner and outer walls provide plenty of 
natural light, even on the dreariest days. The breaking-up of 
the main dining room also helps reduce noise, a tendency 
which is aided by soundproofing in the ceiling. Each perime- 
ter room has two large windows to light its average 623 '/2 
square feet. 



EYECATCHING EQUIPMENT: At right, top, lift raises racks of 
empty milk-botlles to level of truck tailboard for easy bit of load

MARCH 1951 



The decor of the main dining room consists of dark green 
marbleized plastic wall-covering extending to the tops of the 
doors. Above this the structural cinder blocks, left un- 
covered, are painted a light green and accented by alumi- 
num strips rising to the clerestory windows. (These strips 
cover expansion joints.) Woodwork and trim is painted a 
soft gray-green. Indirect lighting along the walls and re- 
cessed spotlights in the ceiling provide abundant artificial 
illumination. The floors throughout the dining area are of 
two-tone brown rubber tiles. 

All the doors, to the serving area and to the individual 
dining rooms, are covered with green simulated leather and 
studded with brass-headed nails. An oval window in each 
fraternity room door bears the distinguishing Greek letters. 

Each dining room has been decorated by its fraternity, 
most of them fairly simply in two colors or two tones. Of 
course, there is room for elaboration and re-decoration. 
Alpha Delta Phi has wood-paneled walls — the memorial gift 
of Mrs. Joel I. Brooke in honor of her father, Morgan W. 
Rogers '14. Delta Phi's room is brightened by plaques repre- 
senting all the colleges at which the fraternity has a chapter. 
Brown chapter alumni shared the expense of this decoration 
with the undergraduates. The walls of the Psi Upsilon room 
are of wood veneer; Sigma Chi has a bright blue ceiling to 
contrast with its deep coral walls. The 18th dining room, 
which is finished in a brown and tan combination, is reserved 
for special luncheons and has already been used several 
times. 

A Vast Culinary Workshop 

The dining rooms are a short flight of stairs up from the 
campus-level entrances. A short flight down, on the kitchen 
level, is the Ivy Room, a cafeteria for commuters, faculty 
members, graduate students, administrative personnel, and 
casual visitors. Walled with ivory-colored glazed tiles and 
decorated with sprays of plausible ivy, this cheery room 
is furnished with different-sized tables and comfortable, red 
plastic-covered chairs. The upper portions of the walls have 
been reserved for painted scenes representing historic epi- 
sodes connected with each of the other Ivy colleges. 

Full-course dinners (usually a choice of two) as well as 
soups and sandwiches are on the daily menu, and a soon- 
to-be-installed soda fountain will cater to snack-seekers dur- 
ing the afternoon and evening. The Ivy Room, which can 
seat 200 diners at one time, has proved extremely popular 
and has had twice that turn-over at lunch ever since it 
opened. 

The kitchen is a vast workshop divided into several sec- 
tions for food preparation and cooking, ample and efficient, 
with everything purposeful. A butcher shop stands complete 
with grinding machines, bone saws, and a special cutting 
room that even has its own knife-sharpener. We asked the 
chef how much hamburger had just gone through one of the 
grinders: half a ton in 20 minutes, and twice through at 
that, once coarse-ground, then fine. 

A room for preparing vegetables has electric cutters, 
abrasive peelers, and scales (potatoes may be weighed be- 
fore and after to check the loss in paring). Convenient, re- 
movable chopping boards in stainless steel work-tables are 
another Davis idea. A separate area is allocated for salad- 
making, and there is nothing haphazard about those fine 
salads, either. Fruits and vegetables can be washed by the 
bushel in huge stainless steel sinks. 

Each section has its own refrigerators. Where necessary, 
different chambers provide efficiently progressive chill — 
from the outer coolness to a 42-degree refrigeration, and on 
into a deep freeze. There are 10 refrigerators in all through- 
out the kitchen, including two freezers (five degrees blow 



zero) and a cool room where perishable meats may be pre- 
pared and stored with other foods in warm weather. Each 
refrigerator has a thermometer and a thermostat on the out- 
side for easy regulation of the inside temperature. To save 
wear on the door gaskets of the walk-in boxes, specially de- 
signed life hinges were installed: the usual thresholds were 
eliminated. 

Stocking Up for a Whole Semester 

The butcher-shop refrigerator has enough space for more 
than two weeks' supply of meat, thus permitting the buyers 
to take advantage of seasonal price changes. (Brown used to 
have to rent outside storage space to do that. ) Using all the 
auxiliary meat-storage facilities, a whole semester's supply 
can be laid in. 

Rows of kettles and ovens and fryers and grills make up 
the cooking section which is able to process the food for 
2000 dinners at one time. There are 12 ovens large enough 
to roast the bulkiest of meat, 72 22-pound turkeys — enough 
for that many people. The rest of the meal can be prepared 
by the nine pressure cookers, one 60-gallon jacket kettle and 
eight 40-gallon jacket kettles (for soup-making and steam- 
cooking) , and four 30-foot work tables with warming ovens. 
Eighteen bushels of vegetables can be cooked in the pressure 
cookers alone. 

In addition, six deep fryers and six broilers and griddles 
can be used for specialties on the menu. Cooking is by gas, 
electricity and steam. Odors and grease are drawn off 
through filters in a 79-foot stainless steel hood that hovers 
over the cooking area, preventing contamination of the sys- 
tem which circulates fresh air throughout the building. 
These filters are easily removed for cleaning. 

The bake shop has its own cooking equipment. An eight- 
shelf, gas-fired, rotary oven which can bake 200 10-inch pies 
or 200 cake layers or 900 muffins or 900 rolls at one time is 
supplemented by an electric pastry-roller that can turn out 
1 00 pie crusts an hour. For doughnut-making there are two 
deep fryers; for the concocting of sauces and fillings there is 
a range with two tilt-kettles. In a large proof er (a chamber 
into which hot, humid air can be pumped) bread or biscuit 
dough can be raised in 20 minutes, about one-sixth the nor- 
mal time required. Adjacent to the bake shop are two ice 
cream machines and a special refrigerated room for harden- 
ing the freshly-made product. 

"It Takes Human Beings. Too" 

Head Chef Mike Scalzi, whom hundreds of Brunonians 
will remember, warns against expecting too much of ma- 
chinery. "Buttons, buttons," he muttered to one visitor. 
"You got buttons that go on and buttons that turn off. Every- 
body thinks that's all you need these days. The buttons and 
the machines help here and there. O.K., sure. But it takes 
people to make the dinner come together. Don't forget that. 
It takes human beings to cook food." With that in mind, we 
were somehow pleased to see a few homely items among all 
the bright new mechanism. One chef, for example, still had 
his old wooden condiment box beside him on the new stain- 
less steel table. It was a tool of his art that he was used to. 

All final food preparation is located near the core eleva- 
tor so that oven-to-table time is kept at a minimum. A test 
kitchen, which has one of every piece of cooking equipment 
found in the main kitchen, will be used to try out new reci- 
pes and test new brands. Menus will be rigidly examined 
here for nutritional value and taste appeal. 

And in the midst of all this, Scalzi has his command post, 
a little half-walled cubicle from which he can observe 
"what's cooking" in his kitchen. Davis and Maynard and

their staff occupy simply-furnished offices in the northeast 
corner of the kitchen level. 

Besides the refrigerators there is a large storage room for 
non-perishables in the basement, and, on the kitchen level, a 
smaller room for items that are to be used immediately. 
Here, too, are the ice-making machines, two for cubes and 
one for shaved ice. This smaller room is just off the receiving 
area which was designed with two considerations in mind: 
convenience and quietness. 

With plenty of space to get off Thayer St., delivery trucks 
back up to the front portion of the receiving entry ( the 
kitchen level is flush with the street at this end of the cam- 
pus) and unload the goods onto a tailgate-high elevator. 
Then the truck drives away, the outside doors are closed, the 
elevator is lowered to floor level, and the cases and cartons 
are removed to storage. With this operation carried on com- 
pletely behind closed doors, even the rattle of milk cases will 
not disturb the residential atmosphere. A platform scale for 



checking weights is built into the entry, and an adjacent re- 
frigerated refuse room keeps garbage unobjectionable until 
it can be removed. In another room is a machine for wash- 
ing garbage cans. An incinerator and disposal units through- 
out the kitchen take care of other waste. 

The $23,000 triple-armed dishwashing system was espe- 
cially designed to complement the efficiency of the serving 
core. Trays full of used tableware are lowered from the din- 
ing area on the four dumb-waiter subveyors that transfer 
them to traveling belts at the kitchen level. These belts carry 
them to tables where the utensils are sorted by hand and then 
fed into the three washing machines. Dishes and trays go 
into either of two machines with interconnected compressed- 
air driers. Silverware, glasses and bottles go into a third 
machine. 

When the silverware is washed, it is sterilized and dried in 
two automatically-timed machines nearby. A specially de-

arrives on subveyors from dining hall above. (Tray is at end of traveling belt.) All is fed into three

equipment in the new Brown Refectory, was specially designed and ouilt tor this job. 



signed rack for the glass-washing machine permits milk 
bottles to be rinsed out by the case. The efficiency of this 
conveyor system is seen in the fact that it carries 80 trays 
from serving core to washing machine in three minutes. The 
tableware for an entire meal — with each diner averaging 10 
pieces — is washed and dried in a single hour. 

Good housekeeping is easy in the Refectory. AH food 
preparation areas are walled with ivory-colored glazed tiles 
and have quarry tile floors with rounded junctures and cor- 
ners. The floors, both in the kitchen and in the refrigerators, 
are pitched toward trench drains for easy washing, and all 
equipment is either on raised bases or on legs. 

The "Moat" Will Let in Light 

Stainless steel and black porcelain enamel make the 
equipment itself easy to keep spotless. In the entire kitchen 
there is not a single threshold. This arrangement not only 
makes flushing the floor easy, but it also allows food trucks 
to be rolled from section to section and right on to the core 
elevator. Every bit of equipment that can be portable to ad- 
vantage has been so made. 

Partitions between the kitchen sections are also of glazed 
tile and are limited to 4' 6" to allow circulation of air and 
light. Adequate natural light is provided by large windows 
facing on the so-called "moat"; artificial lighting is fluores- 
cent. The entire building is conditioned by a circulating sys- 
tem that takes in fresh air at basement level, distributes it to 
the other two levels and exhausts it by means of roof-level 
fans. Cupolas and the height of the main dining room roof 
hide these fans and necessary elevator machinery from cam- 
pus view. 



All rest rooms are on the kitchen level, one each for men 
and women near the Ivy Room, and the rest just off the 
kitchen for f ulltime and student help. Lockers for employees 
are adjacent to the rest rooms, with showers available to the 
fulltime workers. The head chefs have their own locker and 
rest room with shower stall. A unique feature here is the ab- 
sence of washstands from any of the kitchen rest rooms. In- 
stead, they are located throughout the kitchen proper, for 
ready and more frequent use. 

The basement, besides providing storage space and hous- 
ing the air intakes, contains hot water tanks and refrigera- 
tion machinery. A sub-station, already built in, will eventu- 
ally transform electricity bought at high voltage and low 
cost into current to supply the entire Campus. Provision has 
also been made for the installation of deep-freeze lockers. 

Other Refectory features include provision for a public 
address system with a variety of amplifier locations for spe- 
cial occasions. The entry ways have glass-partitioned wind- 
breaks between the outside and inside doors. One vestibule 
has a ticket booth for such functions as may need it, and 
coatroom space is located on both dining room and Ivy

The economies made possible by the consolidation of 19 
dining places (Faunce House Cafeteria, Flattop and the 17 
fraternity dining rooms) into one are obvious. Savings in de- 
livery charges alone — of food, supplies, laundry, etc. — are 
considerable: one official has estimated that ice cream is 
$.25 a gallon cheaper when completely delivered in one stop 
than it used to be when 19 stops were necessary. The num- 
ber of full-time Refectory help is 60 as compared to the 94

persons required for the operation of the dining rooms be- 
fore. The exclusiveness of equipment design is expected to 
pay for itself in labor savings within six years. 

The portable nature of much of the preparation and stor- 
age apparatus makes possible the serving of meals, hot (or 
cold) from the Refectory, at other University locations such 
as the President's House, Faunce House, Sayles Hall, U.H., 
etc. Service is the word that best describes the new Refec- 
tory.

It is not possible to give credit here to all those who made 
a 1951 reality of a 1937 dream. Alumni on the Quadrangle 
Building Committee include Vice-President Thomas B. Ap- 
pleget '17, Donald G. Millar '19, H. Stanford McLeod '16 
and W. Easton Louttit '25. Mrs. Henry D. Sharpe H'50, wife 
of Chancellor Sharpe, and President Wriston are other mem- 
bers. Thomas Mott Shaw of the Boston firm of Perry, Shaw 
and Hepburn is the architect for the entire building pro- 
gram. General contractor for the Quadrangle is the Gilbane 
Building Co. — Bill and Tom, both '33. Kitchen and dining 
equipment, designed expressly for the Refectory by Henry 
C. Murphy, was manufactured and installed by Jones, Mc- 
Duffee and Stratton, also of Boston. And numberless are 
those whose enthusiasm and generosity encouraged the un- 
dertaking of the ambitious project. 

Many, indeed, are the people who will watch the giant on 
the Hill with interest in the years to come, and great are the 
expectations that it must fulfill. In these still early days it is 
giving sure indication that it will not let its envisioners down. 

Community interest in Brown's development was evi- 
denced when some 4000 people walked and looked and 
questioned their way through the new Refectory on a stormy 
Sunday afternoon. The University's invitation to attend an 
"Open House" from three to six on Jan. 28 drew profes- 
sionally interested restaurateurs, hotel men and caterers as 
well as curious neighbors and "displaced home-owners" who 
came back to see what had gone up when their houses came 
down. Even some of the Gilbane workmen visited with their 
families to show off the result of almost two years' labor. It 
was a revelation and a satisfaction. 



Wristons Spend March Abroad 

President and Mrs. Wriston are in Europe, having left 
March 3 for 40 days of travel in England, France, Italy, and 
Switzerland. One errand was on behalf of other American 
educators in investigating the possible establishment of a 
European center of undergraduate study for American stu- 
dents. 

"The practice of having American college students spend 
their Junior year abroad has been successful," Dr. Wriston 
says, "but, broadly speaking, it is not vigorous." He ex- 
plained that the majority of American students do not speak 
a foreign language well enough to study in most European 
colleges. The possibility is being explored, therefore, of set- 
ting up a special institution under American sponsorship 
where the Junior year abroad might be centered. No move 
in this direction is expected to materialize before 1952. 

The Wristons will have covered considerable ground be- 
fore embarking on the "America" April 5. Stops include: 
London, Geneva, Berne, Lugano, Taormina, Palermo, Na- 
ples, Rome, Florence, Venice, and Paris. 

Rooms on Campus at Commencement 
Rooms on campus will again be available to alumni and 
their families during the Commencement season at Brown, 
it is announced by Ward A. Davenport, Superintendent of 
Buildings and Grounds, and William N. Davis, Manager of 
Student Residences and Dining Rooms. There will be no in- 
crease in price for this accommodation, of which hundreds 
of Brunonians have availed themselves in the postwar years. 
The charge will be $2 per night per person, covering room, 
bedding, towel, and soap. Occupancy may be arranged to in- 
clude the Memorial Day holiday as well as the Commence- 
ment weekend, if this is desired by any who would thus be 
able to make the campus the base of their operations for the 
longer period. It has not yet been determined which dormi- 
tories will be used, and this decision will depend on the loca- 
tion of Seniors and others who retain their rooms over Com- 
mencement. However, it is definitely planned to have a guest 
house at Pembroke for wives and daughters, in addition to 
space in the Brown dormitories for the men.

MARCH 1951 



How the Ice Champions Repeated 



One of two Eastern representatives 
in the NCAA hockey championships at 
C^olorado S|>rings, Brown University de- 
feated Colorado College, upsetting the 
defending title-holders 8-4, but lost in 
the hnals to the University of Michigan 
7-1. The April issue will carry full de- 
tails. 



WE HAVE ANOTHER CHAMPION in OUr 
midst — or, rather, the same cham- 
pion holding on for another year and 
even looking toward greater honors. The 
Brown hockey team has repeated its lead- 
ership of the Pentagonal League and 
seems headed for the national tournament 
in Colorado as one of the two eastern 
nominations for the NCAA finals. It is an 
outstanding group which would do credit 
to any title. 

The Ivy League's Baker Trophy stayed 
at Brown following si.x victories in eight 
games. The Bears split decisions with 
Dartmouth and Yale, losing at home in 
each case, but winning all engagements 
with Harvard and Princeton. In addition 
they broke even with two other power- 
houses, Boston University and Boston 
College, but the only other loss in the 22- 
game schedule was to the non-college 
team of N.Y.A.C. 

As Bradford D. Davol, Jr., Director of 
Athletic Publicity, points out. Coach Wes 
Moulton has been building a hockey team 
for four years, and this is the season that 
effort has paid off. With the highest scor- 
ing line in the East and an AU-American 
goalie in Don Whiston, Brown completed 
a season with a 16-.'> record. 

Don Sennott, center ice on the first line, 
has broken all of Brown's previous scor- 
ing marks, with a total of 63 points, high- 
est in the East. A great playmaker, he 
actually netted fewer goals than his left 
wing, Bobby Wheeler, who tallied 31 
times and added 26 assists for a total of 
57 points. The third member of the trio 
is Tony Malo, one of three Canadians on 
the Varsity, who missed four important 
games because of an injury but accounted 
for 38 points, even so. The three-man 
total is thus l.'>8 points, tops for the East. 
An accident brought them together, for 
Malo did not join the other two until ap- 
pendicitis sidelined Johnny Casey last 
winter. They hit it off so well, they were 
retained as a unit this year. 

Power in Reserve 

But what has made Brown a strong 
club this season has been the depth of its 
material. There is no let-up when the 
second line or the third take over on the 
ice. In some games, it has been these re- 
placements who have provided the punch 
needed to win. And spares have seen 
plenty of service when regulars were out 
of action. 

Montreal-born Casey centers the second 
line, one of the game's cleverest stick- 
handlers. Al Gubbins (Coach Moulton 
told the Advisory Council he was the 
most "under-rated" man on the squad) 
had some fine nights, while Warren Priest- 
ley again proved reliable and versatile. 



The leading scorer last year, he was tried 
out at defense experimentally for a bit 
when Captain Jim Sutherland was in- 
eligible during the first semester. But he 
has too hard a shot to leave in the back 
zone, and his fast skating was important 
in "man-short" penalty situations. 

The third line is the Sophomore trio of 
DiBiase, Petit, and Vernet. The first two 
were co-captains as Freshmen and led the 
scoring. Vernet joined them at midsemes- 
ter with the return of Sutherland after 




COACH W. E. S. MOULTON; Four years of 
building paid off. 

having filled in at defense. The other stal- 
warts on defense are Jake Murphy, Jack 
Gilbert, and Bob Maley. Continuing 
where he left off last year, Don Whiston 
has again earned Ail-American citation. 
No All-Star team ignores him. His aver- 
age in college competition this year was 
1.6 goals per game, several enemy scores 
coming while the alternate goalie was in 
the nets. 

One earlier group of Brunonians might 
dispute any assertion that this 1950-51 
team is the greatest in Brown hockey 
history. The 1930-31 team had a nine-one 
record, but comparison of the schedules 
might still leave the honors with the cur- 
rent players. In any event, the team of 20 
years ago is not jealous of the Bruins of 
today, for two of the old-timers are still 
with the sport on the Hill. The Ail-Ameri- 
can center on the 1930-31 team is the 
present coach, Moulton, while the left 
wing on that same line is the team physi- 
cian. Dr. G. Edward Crane. 

Broun 6. Princeton 1: February play 
resumed after the midyear interval with 
the 6-1 victory over Princeton in Provi- 
dence. The Tigers, who had been expected 
to crowd the League this winter because 
of the quality of their Sophomores, had 
an in-and-out year but won some good 
ones. Malo of Brown was their nemesis, 



however, as Tony scored a total of seven 
goals in the two victories over the Tigers. 
This was the fourth in a row over Prince- 
ton. 

Brown 6, Boston University 4: The Ter- 
riers had won the nip-and-tuck battle in 
Providence in January and started out as 
though they would make it an easier 
second victory. But Brown, behind 4-1 in 
the first period, roared back with five 
straight goals in the next two. Whiston 
was magnificent — "the best game of his 
career," his coach said. Just about every 
player got into the attack, throwing power 
play after power play into the B.U. zone, 
and even the L//e-publicized Garrity 
("Mr. Hockey") couldn't save the Ter- 
riers. The victory revived again the hopes 
of a tournament bid. Malo was hurt in the 
first period, being replaced on the first 
line by DiBiase, while Vernet was cut 
badly when a teammate stepped on his 
foot in the dressing room during the post- 
game excitement. 

Brown 8, Springfield 3: Springfield was 
first to score and it was not until mid- 
period that the Bears got the goal back 
and pulled ahead. Down 3-1, the Gym- 
nasts again drew first blood in the second 
session, but the Brown attack rolled there- 
after. Wheeler was top gunner with four 
goals. Coach Moulton was able to use 
some of his reserves — North, Collins, and 
the faithful spare-goalie Dion. 

Brown 9, Army 3: The exceptionally 
large ice-sheet at West Point and a packed 
Cadet defense gave the Bruins trouble at 
first, but they had little difficulty once the 
adjustment had been made. Sennott finally 
put the production on the road after the 
first 14 minutes, followed by Priestley. 
After Brown had run it up to 6-0 with a 
barrage in the second period, Dion re- 
placed Whiston and performed creditably. 
The Brunonians came away with the vic- 
tory and a flock of colds that didn't help 
them in their next outing. 

Yale 3, Brown 2: Because the Bears had 
won in New Haven 4-1, Coach Moulton 
didn't like the psychological set-up on 
this one, and his fears were justified. He 
knew Yale was good (it had won six 
straight and went on to beat B.C. a few 
nights later). He knew his own boys were 
not in good shape as the result of colds 
and lack of ice for practice. They looked 
below par right from the start, although 
Wheeler gave Brown an early lead on a 
35-foot shot, the only goal of the first 
period. The second period was all Yale's, 
although the Blue scored only once, after 
two minutes. In the third period Whiston 
was beaten on a beautiful play, and the 
2-1 deficit roused the Bears for the first 
time in the evening. The Yale goalie was 
kept on the hop from then on but held 
firm until 75 seconds before the end of 
play. In the overtime Brown continued 
the aggressor, giving goalie Cruickshank 
several close calls. The Bears were finding 
themselves and outplaying the visitors, 
when the tide suddenly turned on a quick 
sortie by Noble and Smith of Yale. Whis- 
ton made one stop but missed the second 
off the rebound. The heart-breaking sud- 
den-death goal came at 7:46 of the over-

time, just when it looked as though Brown 
had found itself after the ragged play 
earlier and as though the worst it would 
get would be a tie. 

Brown IS, Williams 3: Journeying to 
Troy for this game on neutral ice. Brown 
maintained a sizzling pace against Wil- 
liams and ran up its biggest score of the 
collegiate season. 

Broun II. Boston College 2: Both teams 
wanted this one badly to stay in the run- 
ning for the NCAA playoffs, but Brown 
was at its peak of the campaign, as close 
to perfection as a college club is apt to 
be. The Bears set such a pace that they 
had poured in six goals in the first period, 
passing crisply and shooting truly on one 
of those instinctive nights when every- 
thing clicks. The Eagles, previously un- 
beaten by Brown since the latter revived 
hockey, were faced with their first shutout 
in many a year until three minutes fi^om 
the end of the game. Brown netted eight 
goals in the first 22 minutes, with seven 
men sharing the scoring for the evening. 
Priestley climbed out of an infirmary bed 
to play one of his best games. Though 
overwhelmed this night by Brown, B.C. 
showed its quality the very next night by 
beating the University of Toronto 4-3. 
with the same goalie who had yielded 1 1 
scores to Brown starring against the Can- 
adians. (And Toronto was one of the few 
to beat Michigan this year.) 

Brown 6. Dartmoulh 1 : The Bears con- 
tinued in high gear at Hanover by taking 
a lead on Sennott's 30-footer after only 
25 seconds of play. Dow evened matters 
a few minutes later while a Brunonian was 
being penalized, but Wheeler broke things 
wide open six minutes before the end of 
the period on two clever set-ups by Sen- 
nott just 26 seconds apart. Wheeler made 
it three in a row 1 2 seconds after the 
second period had started, and Gilbert 
and Malo kept it up in the third. 

Brown 5. Harvard I: A battle of goalies 
was won hands down by Don Whiston in 
Boston Feb. 27 when he blocked 33 Har- 
vard shots while his rival was missing 
five out of 35. In addition the Crimson 
netminder had brilliant assistance from his 
defense men, which thwarted a consist- 
ently pressing Brown assault again and 
again. This defense was particularly tight 
in the first period when most of the play 
was around the Harvard cage, but the only 
score was Sennott's unassisted sizzler 
when he recovered his own pass-out from 
back of the nets during a wild scramble 
near the crease. Casey and Petit sewed it 
up in the second period, while Gubbins 
added two more points later. Several times 
Harvard skaters got behind the Brown 
defense only to be turned back by Whis- 
ton's artistry. Although Harvard wound 
up in the Ivy League cellar, it had shown 
itself a good club at Christmas time by 
beating Minnesota twice in overtime and 
splitting even with North Dakota. 

Brown 8. American International 2: 
Goalie Astorino of AIC met the toughest 
challenge of his year in the first period of 
Springfield, allowing only Gubbins' goal 
at the four-minute mark. But Wheeler 
performed the "hat trick" with three 
straight tallies inside of five minutes in 
the second session. Whiston. again superb 
in the nets, lost his shutout in the third 
period when the East's third highest scorer, 
Bucholtz, beat him. That shutout evaded 
the Brown goalie all yea'r, incidentally.

nightmarish sort of night for the Brunon- 
ians. They didn't need this game to win 
the Pentagonal title, for Harvard had 
surprised Yale with a 4-0 whitewash 
earlier in the week and the Bears could 
not be dislodged from first place. But they 
wanted to show that they were qualified 
for the Colorado trip to the NCAA play- 
ofl's. Dartmouth had nothing to lose, and 
it had a good, though unpredictable team, 
that had tied Yale, beaten B.C.. and 
scored a couple of League victories. A 
packed Arena was backing the Bears in 
the last game of its regular season. 

The Indians stole the play right at the 
start with a goal by Stien in 1:09. It wasn't 
until 1 1 minutes later that Sennott got it 
back, and DiBiase put Brown ahead 
shortly afterward only to see Waters tie 
it up again before the end of the period. 
Dartmouth's brilliant Harrison made it 
3-2 eight minutes along in the second 
frame, a goal which Petit matched. The 
third period was scoreless at the 17-min- 
ute mark when Maley was sent to the 
penalty box, and the crowd groaned. Just 
when it appeared that Brown would 
weather the attack, with only nine seconds 
of the penalty-time to serve, Brower of 
Dartmouth stole the puck in the Brown 
zone, skated behind the cage and passed 
out to Dunlap who beat Whiston on a 
perfect play. Instead of firing the puck 
out of its defensive area. Brown had 
elected to try to rag and lost the gamble. 

It was a tough one to lose, for the Bruins 
had swarmed into the Green territory all 



evening long. Their timing was off, men 
were out of position, shots were wide, but 
even so they gave the Dartmouth goalie 
49 stops against 15 for Whiston. McMa- 
hon was extravagant in his success before 
the nets. Dartmouth, on the other hand, 
playing a deft game which entitled it to 
all credit, made the most of its fewer 
opportunities. It capitalized on Brown 
penalties for two of its goals, and another 
one came on an accidental carom off a 
Brown defense man, into the cage without 
Whiston having a chance. But there was 
no horseshoe on Harrison's score. 

It was a good, clean game but a dis- 
heartening one. The puck just wouldn't 
go past that man McMahon. In two games 
against Brown his saves totalled 96. 

Ttxe Freshmen: Although the Freshmen 
failed to win a game against collegiate 
competition, they had a fair season and 
reached their best form at the end of the 
season when they beat Melrose High, a 
first flight schoolboy club. Burrillville, 
finalist in the New England tourney, 
nosed them out 3-2. 

The Varsity's problem of getting ice 
for practice was even more aggravated 
in the case of the Freshmen, and Coach 
Bob Priestley had the problem of taking 
20 boys who had never seen each other 
before to play together as a unit. One of 
the roughest decisions to make was the 
choice of a goalie from among the seven 
candidates, and three eventually were 
used, usually being alternated during a 
game. The first line looked promising, in- 
cluding Art Vietz, who scored 10 goals 
and six assists to take the honors for the 
squad, and Jack Farrell. and Ron Urqu- 
hart. Dick Pettit, Pat Goggin, and Jim 
Gerlach were the best defense men. 

They wound up by winning three, tying 
four, and losing four. The victims were 
East Providence, Cranston, and Melrose. 
Ties were with Maiden Catholic, a strong 
outfit. Harvard, Hope, and La Salle. The 
losses were to B.C.. Yale, Harvard, and 
Burrillville. 



They Kept Shooting Baskets 



WHEN THE Brown basketball season 
started this year, most of the fans 
felt sorry for the gang of shorties that had 
to carry the load. Fortunately, Coach 
Morris and his small squad had no notion 
of folding. They went out and had them- 
selves a season. They even won the State 
championship. 

There were dark spots — defeats by 
American International, Army, Colby, and 
Dartmouth were no great credit. But the 
nights when they were "up," the Bruins 
were able to take on the best of them. 
They upset three clubs which were later 
tournament choices. They won eight and 
lost 1 1, but five of the victories were by 
one or two points. They dropped only two 
of the close ones. Winning four of seven 
on the road, they seemed to respond better 
to the hostile crowds there than to a half- 
empty gym at home. (Everyone was 
watching hockey.) 

It was a superbly conditioned and loyal 
Varsity, for most of the playing was done 
by seven men. Three of them were no 
taller than five-seven, midget-size for 
modern basketball. That meant few re- 
bounds on offense or defense, but they 



compensated by developing the best set- 
shots from outside in Brown court history. 
Faithfulness in practice brought that bril- 
liant facility, as it did the ability to con- 
trol the ball in "freezings" that protected 
several close victories. Its floorwork was 
good, its team spirit high. 

The Freshmen were a fair club, with a 
12-9 record. Several of the Cubs will pro- 
vide Varsity candidates of better-than- 
average competence. 

Holy Cross S3, Brown 68: The Crusad- 
ers' confidence in this game seemed justi- 
fied. They had won 15 straight on their 
home court and had tournament hopes, 
while Brown, out of action for three 
weeks, had won only four of nine games 
previously. For the first eight minutes the 
Bears were out in front and kept well up 
for the first 17, but the Purple had a spurt 
just before the intermission that gave it a 
48-38 lead. Returning, the Bears slumped 
badly, getting only two baskets in 12 min- 
utes. By the time they started to hit again, 
they were behind 65-50 and stayed there. 
The Bruins missed a half-dozen easy shots 
from close in. but rustiness was not the 
whole story: the Crusaders were too lanky 
and too good. 



MARCH 1951

Brown 60, Conneclictil 58: The tall 
Huskies were rolling along in a style that 
was to win them a tournament berth, later 
being chosen to represent New England 
over Holy Cross. They had won 15 of 17 
games and were the hosts at Storrs to a 
team it had beaten in Providence 64-58. 
But Chuck Whalen, whose home is in 
Connecticut, played one of his best games, 
put Brown ahead 58-57 at 16 minutes in 
the second half with a lay-up shot, and 
then assured the victory with another two 
minutes later. Well-drilled in freezing tac- 
tics, the Bears held the lead to the end. 
Connecticut had started as though it 
would encounter only minor trouble dur- 
ing the evening, leading 29-19 in the first 
13 minutes. Then Gauthier and Creswell 
started hitting and shaved the margin to 
32-30 at the half. Fifteen seconds along 
in the second session Kozak tied it up, and 
Christopher put Brown ahead. Falling 
behind 45-36, the Bruins rallied and again 
took the lead at the 12-minute mark on 
Creswell's hooker. From there it was 
ding-dong to the end. Whelan and Cres- 
well played the full 40 minutes, the latter 
doing a great job at the backboards as 
well as leading the Brown scoring with 15 
points. It was a great victory by a steady, 
unappreciated team. 

Navy 65, Brown 56: The Midshipmen, 
with a 13-4 record, were no team to play 
raggedly against, and the Bears were off- 
form in the first half, taking 45 shots and 
getting five baskets. Navy led at the half 
35-19. Two spurts after intermission re- 
duced the gap to five points, outscoring 
Navy 37-33, but that improvement came 



too late. Navy's floor game was too sharp, 
and it hit for 407o of its shots in the first 
half. Brown's best performance was by 
its foul-shooting ace, Creswell, who sank 
1 1 of 15 tries from the penalty line. 

Brown 62, Providence 61: Brown root- 
ers were a minority in the slim Marvel 
Gym crowd of 750, but they had plenty 
to cheer about. The Bears raced to an 
early lead of 18-5, but the Friars solved 
their early troubles and went ahead at the 
half 35-34. Except for a few seconds, P.C. 
stayed on top for the next 10 minutes, 
once by eight points. But Brown's come- 
back was sparked by Gauthier who finally 
stole a ball, dribbled the length of the 
court and took the lead 50-49. For seven 
minutes the lead jockeyed with almost 
every exchange of the ball, but toward the 
end MacConnell, making one of his first 
appearances in the Brown line-up, broke 
the fifth tie with a lay-up, and Gauthier 
popped in a one-hander from outside the 
foul circle that provided the necessary 
edge. The two-minute freeze at the end 
was classic in its handling. Brown's weav- 
ing and ball-handling were good all night. 

Brown 78, B.U. 76: This was Kozak's 
night, as he scored 3 1 points. Brown went 
ahead by five points twice in the first half, 
only to yield a 29-29 tie after 14 minutes. 
Kozak's driving lay-up brought a 38-37 
lead at the half. But before 10 minutes 
had gone in the second session, Boston 
had taken eight-point advantages twice. 
Each time Kozak's scoring bursts brought 
the Bears back, and at 13 minutes he put 
them ahead again 62-61. In the next hectic 
seven minutes the count was evened five

times, and the Terriers were out in front 
72-70 with 75 seconds left. lU-advisedly, 
they tried for a foul shot and missed, 
yielding the rebound to Brown, and Kozak 
tied the score as the regulation game 
ended. The Brown captain proceeded to 
account for five of his team's six points 
in overtime, making a game-winning foul 
shot at 3:50. The 78th point was actually 
scored after time ran out on a foul com- 
mitted as the horn sounded. Not more 
than 250 saw the thriller in Marvel Gym. 
Holy Cross 70, Brown 63: The Crusad- 
ers won their 17th game in 21, but had 
to work for the victory in Providence. 
Short on smoothness but hot on set-shoot- 
ing, the Bruins forced the crack Purple 
to play to the limit. Holy Cross accuracy 
on the foul line really decided the issue, 
for it had only a 25-24 margin in field 
goals, but it sank 20 one-pointers, the 
first 13 without a miss. The Crusaders tied 
up both backboards and dropped in re- 
bounds to lead by 13 points at the half. 
Brown penetrated the enemy defenses for 
lay-ups just 13 times, making three tries 
good, but the long shots were clean and 
breath-taking. 

Columbia 93, Brown 55: The brilliant 
Columbia five which went undefeated 
until tournament season began broke its 
single-game home-scoring record against 
the shorties from Providence for its 20th 
straight victory. Playing at home, the 
Lions sank 48% of their shots, tallying 12 
times on rebounds off friendly backboards. 
Brown was close, 23-19, for only nine 
minutes of the going, but Kozak was the 
only Bruin who could penetrate Colum- 
bia's aggressive man-to-man defense. 

Dartmouth 69, Brown 68: The Bears 
hoped for this one against a team which 
had won only twice in 23 games. Both 
teams were under even their par, for five 
Greens stayed behind with colds in Han- 
over, including one regular, and Brown 
had three injured men playing — Creswell, 
who had a badly bruised thigh; Gauthier, 
with a bad leg; and Christopher, with a 
sore wrist. 

It was a good battle all the way. Posting 
a margin of 38-30 at the half, Dartmouth 
added seven more to make it 45-30 before 
Brown recovered. Then the Bears started 
chasing and caught up at 60-60 with seven 
minutes left. It was see-saw from then on 
with Dartmouth's three points at 17 min- 
utes the biggest gap. Badoian, spectacular 
with his set shot, tied it up again at 68-all. 
The Green's winning shot came on a foul 
with 46 seconds remaining. The following 
freeze was broken only once: Creswell 
stole the ball brilliantly and drove down 
the court for a lay-up, but he was too 
careful. The ball rolled around the rim 
into the hands of a Green player, and the 
golden opportunity was wasted. That 
missed shot, normally the easiest in the 
book, is what you remember about the 
game. It would have been a sweet one to 
win, but no one blamed Creswell. for he 
had done more than his share all along, 
leading the Brown scoring with 19 points. 
Rhode Island 79. Brown 70: Despite the 
fact that the Bears had beaten State earlier 
for the first time at Kingston in 16 years, 
there were only 566 to see the return en- 
counter. Dominating the first half 47-35, 
State fought off a Brown rally that netted 
17 points in less than seven minutes. The 
Bears went out in front 52-49, but Rhody's 
counter-attack brought a 79-60 recovery.

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



The last 1 points were all Brown's, in the 
last two minutes against State reserves. 
Christopher missed this game and the 
next, ineligible for academic reasons, and 
Brown missed him. 

Brown 69, Providence 64: The Friars 
had just won two tournament games that 
gave them the New England berth in the 
NAIB finals in Kansas City. They wanted 
to avenge Brown's earlier triumph, too. 
But it also was a blue-chip game for the 
Bears, for Kozak, Whelan, Creswell, and 
Gauthier were playing their last basket- 
ball for Brown. Brown could win the 
State championship by taking this contest, 
too, and did so. 

Before the game, Kozak was given the 
Grimshaw Trophy as the outstanding 
Bruin on the court this winter. Avoiding 
the jinx that sometimes accompanies such 
an honor, he proceeded to have himself 
a night, pacing his men as they gaine 1 a 
42-24 leeway at the half. Then the action 
was faster as P.C. came with a rush, twice 
driving within three points at 52-49 and 
67-64. For the second time against the 
Friars, good freezing won for Brown. It 
was seven in a row against the cross-town 
rivals. 

The Freshmen: The Cubs battled Holy 
Cross in a good game, closing a 31-26 
half-time gap to one point and later trail- 
ing only 57-54. But the Purple Frosh 
netted the last six points and won 63-54. 
Murgo was outstanding for Brown with 26 
points. 

Murgo made it 125 points in four games 
when he dropped in a winning foul-shot 
against Connecticut at Storrs. Of his 25 
points, the last was the most important, 
and he was a very poised young man when 
he took the vital shot with 17 seconds left. 
The 69-68 victory was the Cubs' seventh 
in 1 1 games. Newport Naval Prep had a 
74-56 margin in winning the next one. 
The P.C. Freshmen took two, 65-48 and 
75-73, but the second was the heart- 
breaker, for Brown was ahead with sec- 
onds left in the regulation session only to 
grant a tie on a 20-foot shot and lose in 
overtime. Murgo scored 31 points against 
B.U. Freshmen and Norm Sprinthall 
helped with 24 more as the Cubs won 
70-62. Holy Cross had an easier time in 
its return game, which it won 78-49, for 
it had improved markedly and had won 15 
out of 16. Coach Jack Heffernan had a 
chance to use his whole bench in a romp 
against Leicester Junior College, 87-38. 
The Cubs made it two-in-a-row over the 
RJiode Island Frosh, 77-62, as Murgo 
racked up 3 1 points and Captain Plentzas 
13. Taber Academy was beaten 65-56,

The Best in 20 Years 

THE 1951 Varsity wrestling team is the 
best one Brown has had in 20 years ac- 
cording to Coach Anderton, and he ought 
to know — he was a member of that unde- 
feated 1928-29 squad! 

On the last day of February, the Bear 
matmen climaxed an eight-win, one-loss 
season, and Dave Michael finished his col- 
legiate career without a single defeat in 
dual competition. Other record-making 
Bruins are Marc Rowe, who was unbeaten 
all season, and Dana Eastham, who has 
suffered but one loss since he started wres- 
tling as a Freshman last year. Team vic- 
tories since mid-terms were over Harvard 
(the first Brown triumph in this rivalry 
since 1929), MIT, the University of Penn- 
sylvania and Wesleyan. Yale provided the 
only "blot on the 'scutcheon" by winning 
15-9 in a meet without falls. 

Yale power stopped three Brown win- 
ning streaks: of the Varsity, of the Fresh- 
men and of Eastham. For the Varsity, the 
trip to New Haven meant the end of this 
season's unbeaten string: for Eastham it 
was his first defeat in collegiate wrestling. 
But for the Freshmen it was the breaking 
of a victory record that reached back to 
1948 — the consecutive wins were stopped 
at 21. 

Against one of the best 167-pounders in 
the country, George Graveson. Eastham 
managed to hold his own until the final pe- 
riod. Then the Yaleman scored on a take- 
down and a reverse to gain an 8-1 deci- 
sion. Angus MacLean and Marc Rowe 
won close, hard-fought matches in the 
137- and 177-pound divisions, respec- 
tively, matches that could have gone 
either way. At the end of his bout, Mac- 
Lean was tied with Don Teare of the 
Bulldogs but time advantage gave the 
Bruin the nod, 6-5. Through the second 
period, Rowe and his opponent, Rienhoff. 
matched points with reverses to stand at 
2-all. But in the third round, Rowe made 
an escape to chalk up the winning tally. 

Michael won his 157-pound match 
easily. Lightweights Bill Bass and Bob 
Dolt lost as did 147-pound Dave Seaver, 
and Captain John Chemak was over- 



whelmed by the Blue heavyweight, 7-1. 
The Freshman score was 16-13. 

The big 19-13 victory was over Penn, 
when Brown captured the last four bouts 
to return triumphant from Philadelphia. 
Because the Quaker heavyweight, Austin 
Hepburn, had to attend a wedding, the un- 
limited division opened the meet. Chernak 
wasn't bothered by this switch, however, 
and proceeded to take a 3-1 decision on 
a third period leg-dive. Despite this en- 
couraging start, the Bruins were trailing 
after the 123-pound class went by default 
and Dolt was pinned in 2:55 of the sec- 
ond period of the 130-pound class. 

Spirits were revived when MacLean put 
on a fine exhibition of leg wrestling to 
ride Joe Muldoon to a 6-3 decision. Un- 
able to score in the first period, MacLean 
employed a figure four from both sides, a 
cross-body ride and a grapevine in the re- 
maining time to achieve the win, riding 
Muldoon right out of the ring more than 
once. 

When Seaver lost his bout. Brown was 
behind 13-6. At this point Michael stepped 
onto the mat to pin his opponent with a 
double armlock and start the Bears on 
their winning way. Eastham followed suit, 
pinning Hal Leeds with a cradle at 6:40 
after the Penn grappler had gone ahead in 
the second period. This was in the 167- 
pound division, and Rowe's 4-1 decision 
over 177-pound Jack Evans clinched the 
meet for the visitors. 

Against Harvard, Chernak started the 
final event carrying a slim Brown lead of 
one point. At the end of the second pe- 
riod, he was trailing 1-0, but a third round 
takedown and reverse plus some time ad- 
vantage gave him the decision over the 
Crimson's Heidtmann. Eastham was the 
only Bear to score a fall, pinning Neil 
Hastie in 4:08. 

Michael and Rowe won shut-outs, 6-0 
and 7-0 respectively; and MacLean, wres- 
tling cautiously with Icko Iben, an oppo- 
nent he defeated by a single point last 
year, waited until the third period to score 
a reverse that almost became a pin. Har- 
vard's points resulted from pins in the 
1 23- and 1 30-pound categories and a close 
5-3 decision over Seaver. It was Brown 17, 
the Crimson 13. 

Wesleyan proved a formidable foe be- 
fore yielding 19-15, and Eastham was the 
only Bruin to gain a pin at Middletown. 
(He scored with a double bar arm over 
Jack Hulton at 3:35.) Two falls were reg- 
istered against the Bears, in the 130-pound 
class over Dolt and in the unlimited divi- 
sion over Dave Lyons, subbing for 
Chernak. 

Mutual forfeits in the 123- and 137- 
pound classes balanced out, and Brown 
had to win the rest of the bouts to take the 
match. Seaver came through in fine style, 
decisioning his opponent, 7-3, with two 
takedowns and an escape plus time ad- 
vantage. Michael then scored a 4-0 win in 
climaxing his perfect dual meet record, 
and Rowe decisioned Wesleyan Captain 
Neil Keller, 10-4, in a hard-fought battle 
all the way. 

The one-sided victory over MIT, 24-8, 
saw MacLean and Michael pinning their 
respective opponents, with decisions going 
to Eastham, Rowe and Lyons. Rowe's win 
was another unanimous one, 9-0. 

The Cubs didn't let Yale's halting of 
their three-season march bother them for 
long: they have already started on another 
winning streak with four victories as a 
1951 start. Setting the example for the 



MARCH 1951

Varsity which usually follows them, the 
Cubs have downed Harvard, 21-10, 
blanked MIT, 34-0, and beaten Wesleyan, 
16-14. All on their own, they overcame 
the U. S. Naval Academy Prep team, 19- 
13. 

An early lead insured victory against 
the junior sailors who captured the last 
three bouts but couldn't amass enough 
points to win the meet. Lightweight Jim 
Kurfess and 157-pound Jon Fay scored 
falls, while decisions were chalked up by 
Mike McSherry, Joe Meschino and Gor- 
don Webster to establish a 19-0 lead be- 
fore the prepsters started to work in ear- 
nest. 

Against the Harvard freshmen, Fay 
again pinned his opponent as did Mc- 
Sherry, and Kurfess, Meschner, Webster 
and Gerry Towle (in the unlimited divi- 
sion) scored the necessary wins to give 
Brown the victory. The rout of MIT was 
accomplished by four falls, three decisions 
and a forfeit. 

Good Sv^immlng 

As THEY headed toward the defense of 
their New England championship on 
March 9-10, the Brown swimmers could 
point with pride to a dual meet season of 
six wins and two losses behind them. 
Their second defeat came at the hands of 
Harvard, but a conquest of the UConn 
that set four records and a thrilling victory 
over Dartmouth added to the 1951 squad's 
already considerable laurels. 

The Dartmouth meet was decided by a 
rip-roaring finish that saw Co-Captain 
Bob Barlow, swimming the anchor leg of 
the 400-yard freestyle relay, beat out the 
Indians' John Mclntyre by an arm's length 
to avenge a previous defeat in the 100- 
yard freestyle, and set a new 'Varsity 
record. 

Juggling his line-up to build the point- 
lead he knew he was going to need. Coach 
Watmough raced the co-captains. Barlow 
and Duncan Gray (both swimming their 
last dual meet), together in the 50-yard 
freestyle. The gamble paid off and their 
first- and second-placings, plus a win in 
the 300-yard medley relay, put the home 
team ahead by 12 points. Mclntyre's tri- 
umph over Barlow equalled a Colgate- 
Hoyt record for the 100, set by Matt 
Chrostowski in 1935, and narrowed the 
lead to seven points. Then Jack Fuller 
won the backstroke event and Gray, trail- 
ing until the final turn, churned his way 
over the last length to a new Brown 
breaststroke record of 2:25.8. 

In the 440-yard freestyle, the Bears 
could take no better than third, and Dart- 
mouth's accumulation of seconds and 
thirds plus its two wins brought the score 
dangerously close. Thanks to Otto Pfann- 
kuch's first in the diving event, Brown 
held a two-point edge going into the final 
race. 

The seven points for the 400-yard free- 
style relay would give the victory to either 
team. Don Englehard led off and managed 
to keep up with Dartmouth's Kay most 
of the way. Second-man Harry Newhard 
lost some headway in the turns and Gray 
entered the race about three lengths be- 
hind. But, gaining gradually, he touched 
the mark even with his opponent to send 
Barlow into the water at the same time as 
Mclntyre. This time it was Barlow's turn 
and he swam beautifully, pulling ahead in 
the last lap to snare the vital .seven for 
Brown. The time of 3:39 was 1.3 seconds

faster than that set by Barlow, Gray, Wil- 
son and Dolan in 1950. For the Co-Cap- 
tains it was a memorable climax to a pair 
of outstanding collegiate swimming ca- 
reers. 

Traveling to Storrs after a month's lay- 
ofl for midterm exams, the swimmers won 
seven of the nine events and broke four 
pool records in doing so. In the 300-yard 
medley relay. Fuller, Gray and Barlow 
shaved nine seconds off the former mark; 
in the 220-yard freestyle, Don Cameron 
set a new record of 2: 19.5; Gray beat the 
old breaststroke marker by IVi seconds; 
and Pfannkuch was awarded the most 
points ever received by a diver at the pool, 
83'/i. (In all fairness, it should be noted 
that the pool is only in its third year.) 
Connecticut captured firsts in the 50-yard 
freestyle and the 440-yard freestyle; its 
win in the 400-yard relay was nullified be- 
cause the fourth man jumped the signal. 
A classy Crimson squad turned the 
trick in its home pool as Yale had earlier, 
and the Bears, despite winning both relays 
and taking two firsts (in the 200-yard 
breaststroke and the 440-yard freestyle), 
came out the loser in a 43-32 score. In 
winning the breaststroke. Gray finished 
six vards ahead of Harvard's Emerson. 
Cameron was able to pull away from Fou- 
quet only in the final length in his 440 
victory. Brown's wins in the relays re- 
sulted from disqualifications of Harvard 
teams for jumping. 

On an extra-curricular jaunt, the Var- 
sity 220-yard freestyle team of Barlow, 
Gray, Cameron and Newhard won the 
Worcester Boys' Club memorial relay 
race. In the 31st annual Brown Inter- 
scholastic Swimming Meet at the Colgate- 
Hoyt Pool, Pawtucket East emerged the 
winner with a 19-point advantage over 
second-place St. George's. 

Freshmen Boast Stars 
For the Freshman swimmers, the past 
season has consisted of one smashed rec- 
ord after another. Ralph Brisco and 
Ronny Wills, the leading iconoclasts, are 
members of a squad that Coach Wat- 
mough has labeled one of the most prom- 
ising ever to enter Brown. 

Against the UConn, Brisco established 
a new Brown Freshman mark of 23.7 for 
the 50-yard freestyle, breaking the 24- 



second record set by F. S. Carter '43 in 
1940. Against Harvard, Brisco tied his 
Connecticut time, and in a meet with 
Moses Brown, he knocked a full second 
off the 100-yard freestyle record of 54.2, 
set by F. M. Lee '35 in 1932. In the sea- 
son's final dual meet, with Quonset, he 
broke Phil Carson's ('44) 1941 time for 
the 200-yard freestyle by almost three 
seconds. His time: 2:03.4. 

Wills is the other consistent record 
breaker and maker. At Storrs he lowered 
Englehard's (now of the Varsity) 150- 
yard individual medley mark to 1:47.5. 
He took .3 seconds more off this time 
against St. George's; and, at Harvard, he 
smashed another Englehard record by 
more than three seconds when he swam 
the 220-yard freestyle in 2:25. He won 
the breaststroke event at Harvard as well; 
but, even though he and Brisco were both 
double-winners (the latter captured the 
100 as well as the 50), Crimson depth 
proved enough to insure the visitors' de- 
feat, 50-25. 

St. George's Van Hoffman touched out 
Wills in the breaststroke and thereby set a 
new record for his school of 1:06.5. The 
150-yard medley relay and the 200-yard 
freestyle were captured by the prep school 
swimmers, too, but Brown took the con- 
test, 40-35. 

Going into the final event of the UConn 
meet, both squads were tied at 34-all. 
Here the Frosh's 200-yard freestyle team 
of Paul Wittreich, Harry Goodfriend, 
Harry Duane and Fritz Klein displayed its 
best to nab the race and make the victory, 
41-34. Wills was the only double-winner 
against Quonset, which meet the Cubs 
won, 40-35. The final score over Moses 
Brown was 43-32. 



Indoor Track 

I NDiviDUAL track performers — miler Walt 
I Molineux and high-jumper Tom Di- 
Luglio — have distinguished themselves in 
Varsity dual competition and in the re- 
gional games, but the team itself has not 
followed the winning ways of last year's 
stars. 

Defending champions in the NEAAU 
meet at the Cranston Street Armory in 
February, the Bears could take no better 
than fourth place behind Boston College, 
Tufts and Springfield. Molineux won the 
mile event by six yards and DiLuglio tied 
Newman Prep's Lochiatto for first with a 
jump of six feet, one-eighth inches, far 
below the meet record of 6:7 that he es- 
tablished (with Penn State's Jim Herb) 
early in January at the Washington Star 
Meet. Seconds by Mel Holland in the 600- 
yard run and Dante Matteodo in the shot- 
put were the only other points the 1950 
champions could garner. Even Bill Dwyer 
'48, former undergraduate star and na- 
tional indoor sprint titleholder, lost his 50- 
yard dash championship after two years. 
A graduate student at Springfield, he races 
for the R. I. Track Officials Association. 
Molineux has been a consistent winner 
this season, and only the misfortune of 
having to run in the fastest qualifying heat 
in the trials kept him out of the running at 
the IC4A finals in New York. He was 
judged third behind Georgetown's Carl 
Joyce and Princeton's Dick Snedeker, but 
his time of 4:17.8 (just .1 second slower 
than Joyce's, the fastest of the evening) 
was better than some others who did 
qualify in slower heats. Earlier, at the 
Millrose Games, he joined with team- 

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



mates Ralph Lee, Holland and Harry 
Wood, to upset Williams in a relay. 

In the meet with Yale, Molineux was 
the only double-winner, capturing the 
mile and the 1000-yard run. These were 
two of the Bears' three firsts, the other 
one being provided by DiLuglio whose 
jump of six feet, four and three-eighths 
inches bettered Keith Brown's 16-year 
New Haven record. The Vi point in the 
final score — Yale, 75-'u — Brown, 28'/i — 
resulted from Allen Boyer's four-way tie 
with three Yale men in the pole vault. 

The Tufts contest was featured by the 
establishing of a new world record in the 
35-pound weight throw. In achieving a 
distance of 60: 1 1, Tufts' Tom Bane broke 
the record, set in 1949 by Army's Jim 
Scholz, by 4'/2 inches. Earlier, in the 16- 
pound shot-put, he was second to Brown's 
Matteodo. Bruce Ford won the 50-yard 
high hurdles and Joe Marcello tied for 
first in the 50-yard dash, but Brown still 
came out on the short end of a 66-38 
score. 

Some measure of revenge was achieved 
when the Freshmen overcame the Tufts 
yearlings, 57-34. The Cubs, who have lost 
only one out of four dual meets, also 
downed LaSalle, 40'/2-31>/2. The high 
school team piled up a point-lead by win- 
ning five of the six running events, but 
Bill Reid's first in the 600-yard run and 
second-placings in the other races equalled 
victory when added to Brown firsts in the 
shot-put and the high jump. Joe Wat- 
mough, Jr., son of the swimming coach, is 
a dependable weight-tosser, and a late sea- 
son starter in the jump, Stan Deck, has 
raised Track Coach Fuqua's hopes. 

Skiers Win Four Meets 

FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS Brown skiers 
have been journeying into the hills of 
northern New England, each season with 
greater success. The climax has come with 
victories in four straight meets in Feb- 
ruary and March. Having qualified for the 
NEISC Championships in April, the un- 
dergraduates who form the team of the 
Brown Ski Club are faced with a financial 
problem and are uncertain about raising 
enough money to continue their campaign. 
An appropriation of $100 from the Com- 
mittee on Student Activities has been the 
limit of help which could be given by the 
University, since this is an unofficial team. 
Such aid is not ordinarily available but 
was a recognition of the work of the un- 
dergraduates in 1951 competition. 

Jim McKnight, a member of the team, 
writes of Brown skiing as follows: 

The Brown ski team originated shortly 
after the war as a concession to the com- 
petitive instincts of some members of the 
Ski Club. Early efforts were modest, in 
the first meets, the hickory riders came 
off second best to nearly every team they 
raced. Although a few individuals stood 
out, the team as a whole was pretty dis- 
organized. 

In the winter of 1948-49, the Bruins 
entered the New England Intercollegiate 
Ski Conference, a league composed of 
such schools as Boston College, Tufts, 
Holy Cross, Boston University, Spring- 
field, Vermont, University of Massachu- 
setts, Bridgeport, Northeastern, New Eng- 
land College, Lowell Textile, Worcester 
Tech, and Babson. With Jack Underbill 
as captain the team began to progress. 
Herb Hunt, a Freshman, arrived from 
Gould Academy of Bethel, Me., where 



he had skied with Dick Ireland, an Olym- 
pic possibility if not a probability. Under- 
bill, Hunt, Ivan Laric, and Gordon Whit- 
ney gave promise of better things for the 
Bruins. However, competition was 
stronger, too, and the squad fared little 
better than its predecessors, generally 
holding up the league from the cellar 
position. 

Last year Hunt took over as captain and 
led the team to a reasonably successful 
season. Bill Polleys and Hunt finished 
consistently in the top ten as the Bruins 
took fourth place in all four scheduled 
meets. During the season, at one time or 
another, they defeated each Conference 
opponent. Bill Floyd, Jim McKnight, and 
Marsh Greene rounded out the roster with 
Wes Hall and Gordon Whitney sharing 
the number six spot. 

This winter, with the five regulars re- 
turning, but without University subsidy 
at first, the team picked up where the pre- 
vious season had left it, taking fourth 
place in a field of seven in the William A. 
Henry Memorial Trophy race. Sumner 
Young, a Freshman from Wayzata, Minn., 
turned in an unexpected fifth-place per- 
formance to lead the group. 

When Hunt left to join the Air Force at 
the close of the first semester, Polleys 
succeeded him as captain and led the team 
into third place in the Asa Osbourn 
Trophy race at Intervale, N. H. New Eng- 
land College of Henniker, N. H., took the 
nine teams to win its second straight meet. 
Polleys took a fifth, while Ray Perkins 
finished 16th as the Bruins' second man. 

On Feb. 17 the Bruins saw their long 
hopes materialize. At Intervale the Bruins 
set down the other six schools, including 
New England, B.C., and B.U. to win the 
McClintock Trophy race. In taking their 
first meet, the polar Bears placed men in 
the third, fourth, and fifth individual 
places. Polleys finished the tight 30-gate 
slalom in third place, followed in order

by Young and McKnight. Greene was the 
remaining Bruin to score, taking 20th in 
the field of 42. Bill Floyd, after a 10th- 
place initial effort, fell on his second rim 
— the first such mishap in over a year of 
competition. John Livingstone finished 
29th in his first race for the Bruins. 

At the time it seemed unlikely that the 
team would be able to go on to the Cham- 
pionships in April, for which it qualified 
by winning the McClintock. After three 
meets at their own expense and training 
excursions extending from before Christ- 
mas, the team was near the end of its 
financial shoestring. Parental coffers were 
close to being exhausted. But the Bruins 
went to Tamworth Feb. 25th to win the 
Djorne Johansen Trophy, with Polleys 
fourth in combined totals, McKnight fifth. 
Young eighth, Greene 14th, and Floyd 
18th in the field of 54 from nine schools. 
The totals: Brown 876, Northeastern 836, 
New England 829, B.C. 802. 

Brown won the Foley Memorial Trophy 
on Thorn Mountain by less than a point's 
margin: 183.3 to 182.4 for New England. 
The fourth straight victory was at Inter- 
vale. Jim McKnight 

The Baseball Schedule 

Without disputing the merits of the 
earlier Commencement dates at Brown 
otherwise, the change has resulted in 
shortening the baseball season for the 
Bear. The 1951 schedule, announced by 
Athletic Director Paul F. Mackesey, 
opens April 11 and ends May 16. Of the 
15 games listed, nine are Ivy League con- 
tests, while the others are with traditional 
rivals nearer home. Six games are sched- 
uled for Aldrich Field, nine away. 

With no adequate indoor cage and 
no Southern trip. Coach Lefebvre must 
count on good weather to assist his accel- 
eration program for the team. But he 
feels, nevertheless, that prospects are 
bright. The schedule follows, with home 
games indicated by an asterisk: 

April 11— R. I. State. April 14 — 
UConn. April 17— R. I. State.* April 19 
— Holy Cross. April 21 — University of 
Pennsylvania. April 25— Yale. April 28 — 
Columbia.* May 2 — Harvard. May 4 — 
Army.* May 5 — Cornell. May 9 — Dart- 
mouth. May 11 — Navy.* May 12 — 
Princeton.* May 15 — P.C. May 16 — 
P.C* 

Taxable Professors 

University good-will toward the 
Rhode Island community was tmequivo- 
cally expressed when the Brown Corpora- 
tion, on the recommendation of President 
Wriston, requested the State Legislature 
to remove the historic $10,000 tax ex- 
emption for University professors. 

Under the terms of Brown's charter, 
the exemption could be abolished only 
with the permission of the Corporation. 
The General Assembly acted on the pro- 
posal in January, granting the University 
request that the exemption elimination 
pertain only to professors named after the 
bill is enacted. All professors who now 
enjoy the tax privileges will continue to 
do so. 

President Wriston pointed out that the 
University has always taken the situation 
into consideration in establishing profes- 
sorial salaries and that now changes will 
have to be effected to compensate for the 
taxation.

The Brown Clubs Report 



Boston's Star Events 

UNDER THE LEADERSHIP of the BrOWn 
Club there, Boston alumni are prepar- 
ing to welcome New England Brunonians 
to two major events on the spring pro- 
gram: the annual Brown dinner on April 
16 and Brown Night at the Boston Pops on 
May 7. 

The dinner will be held in a familiar 
setting at the Hotel Shelton on Bay State 
Road, formerly operated under the Shera- 
ton name. The speakers will be President 
Wriston (within a week of his return from 
Europe) and Erwin D. Canham, Editor 
of The Christian Science Monitor. This 
fine bit of program-making ensures a good 
evening for the diners. The alumni will 
sit down at table at 7, with a social hour 
preceding. The members of the Boston 
Club will assemble for their annual busi- 
ness meeting at 6:30. Ralph Mullane '19 
is chairman of the committee which is 
handling the arrangements for the eve- 
ning. Club President George Channing '1 1 
will also participate actively from the head 
table. 

The annual Brown Night at the Pops 
has become a great drawing card in recent 
years, and again the Brown-Pembroke 
Chorus will have a guest role on the pro- 
gram for May 7. 

On March 13 Alva Kelley, new head 
coach of Varsity football, was the speaker 
at the monthly luncheon. The Club uti- 
lized the occasion to introduce Kelley to 
the Boston press. In February Coach 
Moulton brought the inside story of the 
championship hockey team to an inter- 
ested luncheon group. 

Blaisdell Retires 

WHEN THE Brown Club of Alta Cali- 
fornia held its Annual Dinner Meet- 
ing Feb. 16 at the Fairmont Hotel, San 
Francisco, 24 Brown Alumni were present 
to honor Nathaniel Blaisdell '83, who at 
this time has completed 53 years as Presi- 
dent of this Club. Nathaniel Blaisdell or- 
ganized the Brown Club in San Francisco 
in 1898. The occasion was the visit to San 
Francisco of Benjamin Ide Wheeler, Class 
of '75, to confer with the Regents of the 
University of California. And in 1899. 
Dr. Wheeler became President of the Uni- 
versity of California at Berkeley. Mr. 
Blaisdell, in 1898, got the Brown Alumni 
in San Francisco together, and they put on 
the dinner honoring Dr. Wheeler. And at 
that meeting they started our local alumni 
organization, Mr. Blaisdell being elected 
its President. 

Each succeeding year from 1898 up to 
this year 1951, Mr. Blaisdell has been re- 
elected and has carried on as our Club 
President. He has seen his Club grow from 
a half-dozen names in 1898 to a list of over 
160 Alumni in the area which includes the 
Northern half of California and Nevada. 
At our meeting this year Mr. Blaisdell 
asked that the responsibility of Club Presi- 
dent be passed on to another alumnus. 
And Mr. Blaisdell was then unanimously, 
and with our gratitude and love, elected 
President-Emeritus of the Brown Club of 
Alta California. 



The other Club officers elected are: Dr. 
T. Harper Goodspeed '09, President; Rob- 
ert E. Soellner '24, Vice-President; Fre- 
mont E. Roper '11, Secretary; Myles L. 
Grover '38, Treasurer. 

Mr. Blaisdell and Austin Allen '04 vis- 
ited George F. Weston, '78, Brown's oldest 
living alumnus in San Jose, California, on 
February 16, and they told the story of 
their visit, as George Weston's health did 
not permit him to attend our dinner. The 
six alumni who were attending the Club 
annual meeting for the first time all told 
of how they happened to be living in Cali- 
fornia now. And the new officers of the 
Club each gave a brief summary of their 
present work and business. 

After the business meeting, our New 
President called upon Austin Allen '04 to 
recite one of the many poems which Aus- 
tin can recite so well. And Austin re- 
sponded by reciting the famous "Down- 
East" poem entitled "Elkana B. Atkinson" 
by Holman Day which "brought down the 
house," and surely closed our Annual 
Meeting of 1951 in a mood of hilarity and 
Club enthusiasm. 

Brown Alumni attending included: Na- 
thaniel Blaisdell '83, Dr. Alexander Mei- 
klejohn '93, Trueman D. Woodbury '03, 
Austin K. Allen '04, Dr. T. Harper Good- 
speed '09, Fremont Roper '11, S. Lyman 
Mitchell '12, David G. Goddard '24, Rob- 
ert E. Soellner '24, Aylwin Probert '25, 
Parkman Sayward '25, Dr. William D. 
McCarthy '31, Hugh S. Butler '32, Henry 
E. Stanton '34, Dr. Charles B. David '36. 
Myles L. Grover '38, Donald W. MacMil- 
lan '38, Dudley A. Zinke '39, Melvin M. 
Swig '39, H. S. Mclntyre '39, Joseph E.

NATHANIEL BLAISDELL '83: After 53 years, 

retirement from the presidency of the Brown 

Club he founded. 



Leiand for Wriston 

The luncheon was originally planned 
to catch President Wriston as he passed 
through Washington on his way back to 
Providence from a conference in De- 
cember. But, when his traveling schedule 
had to be revised. Brown Clubbers in the 
national capital held the meeting any- 
way and a successful get-together it was. 

To "sub" for the President, Club Presi- 
dent Don Ranard '40 sent in Dr. Waldo 
Leiand '00 who delivered a short course in 
"Organization and Operations of the Cor- 
poration." Next, Jim Bennett '18 tossed 
off a lecture entitled: "Obstacles En- 
countered in Getting a Degree from 
Brown" or "Sink or Swim." 

Those there to enjoy the varied pro- 
gram included: Bill Barton '45, Ed Ben- 
nett '42, Jim Bennett '18, Charles Brooks 
'01, Howard A. Coffin '01, Art Doherty 
'40, A. C. Eastburn '12, John French '25, 
Jim Hines '35, George S. Holmes '04, 
George Hurley '41, Ted Jaffe '32, I. B. 
Lees '47, Charlie Lloyd '42, Joe Lyman 
'35, Tom McCabe '40, W. J. Miller '35, 
E. Francis Mullin, Jr. '46, Harvey Nanes 
'37, Don Ranard '40, Leon E. Truesdell 
'07, Theodor P. Von Brand '50, Dick 
Walsh '37, Robert R. Williams '35, James 
Wilmot '08. 

On Feb. 13, the Club elected officers 
just in time to send the new President, 
Richard L. Walsh '37, to the annual meet- 
ing of the Associated Alumni in Provi- 
dence. Dick brought a list of the officers 
with him: Vice-President Ross DeMat- 
teo '35; Secretary William J. Barton '45 
(fresh from Buffalo B. C); and Treasurer 
Harvey Nanes '37. He also had a report 
of the meeting, which featured the first 
appearance of new Football Coach Al 
Kelley. Other speakers on an impressive 
agenda were Senator Theodore Francis 
Green '87, former R. I. Governor Norman 
S. Case '08, James V. Bennett, '18, Direc- 
tor of the U. S. Bureau of I'risons, and 
Brown Director of Athletics Paul Macke- 
sey '32. About 40 members attended this 
interesting meeting. Charlie Lloyd '42 

The Fund in the Field 

Organization of workers for the 1951 
Brown Alumni Fund campaign nears com- 
pletion with the appointment of Regional 
Chairmen who will supplement the ac- 
tivity of Class Agents. In Rhode Island 
and the metropolitan areas of New York 
and Boston there will be regional agents 
for each Class. Forty-six percent of 
Brown's alumni reside in those three dis- 
tricts, according to an Alumni Fund Office 
survey. 

Of the remainder, 88 percent reside in 
nearly 200 other communities in the 
United States which have at least 10 
Brown men each. To such communities 
the Regional Chairmen and their workers 
will bring an element of personal ap- 
proach. 

First regional appointments by the 
Alumni Fund Trustees have been an- 
nounced by Chairman Thomas F. Black, 
Jr., '19 as follows: 

California: Los Angeles — Stephen H. 
Dollev '42. Connecticut: Greenwich — 
Walter W. Burbank '37; Hartford— Paul 
E. Monahan '31; Litchfield — Francis I. 
Enslin '25; Manchester — Russell B. Gran- 
niss '36; Middletown — Alvin D. Johnson 
'39; New Haven — Robert B. Dugan '33; 
Norwalk — Hugh H. Conklin '37; Norwich

A Night at the Museum 

The visit of members of the Brown 
University Club in New York to the Mu- 
seum of Natural History Jan. 24 is spoken 
of in the Club's Newsletter as "one of the 
most enjoyable spots in the Club's social 
year." Many of those present have asked 
for more gatherings of a similar nature 
under Brown Club sponsorship. 

The evening for the alumni, wives, and 
guests began with a social hour and buffet 
supper featuring beef and kidney pie. 
Afterwards the guests accompanied Dr. 
Burns of the Museum staff on a tour that 
took them backstage to see new exhibits in 
various stages of preparation. 

Plans for the annual dinner April 12 
move ahead under the chairmanship of 
E. R. Alden '23. The dinner at the Roose- 
velt will bring President Wriston before a 
Brown audience almost as soon as he steps 
off the America on his return from Eu- 
rope. Tickets cost $8.00, with a special 
rate of $6.00 for those out of college five 
vears or less. 



Denver's Seven 

Seven members of the Rocky Moun- 
tain Brown Club gathered with their wives 
at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, Jan. 28, to 
welcome Dean of Admission Emery 
Walker '39 to Denver. It was a cold and 
stormy night for the first Club meeting 
in many months. 

Emery gave an interesting and clear-cut 
nicture of some of the problems facing 
Brown in this crisis, dealing at length with 
the current status of undergraduates. He 
told of the evolution of the striking bro- 
chure, "Student Life at Brown", and 
brought pictures of the Campus, delight- 
ing those present with his witty commen- 
tary thereon. Though the room was cold 
and we sat wrapped in heavy garments. 
Brown songs and cheers provided the nec- 
essary warming and glowing note. 

Denver Brown men have inaugurated 
monthly luncheons, held the third 
Wednesday each month in the Coffee Shop 
of the Cosmopolitan Hotel. All Bruno- 
nians are welcome to attend. 

Those at the meeting included: Floyd 
C. Fay, Jr. '18, Gerald Richmond '36, 
Frank E. Merchant '31, W. Clayton Car- 
penter '06, Thomas F. Egan '48, F. J. 
McGarry '44 and Judge Joseph E. Cook 
'14. Joseph E. Cook '14 

Luncheon at the Casa 
The Brown Club of San Diego (Cali- 
fornia) held its first 1951 meeting Jan. 
26 at the famed hotel, Casa de Manana, 
La Jolla, as guests of the Club's Vice- 
President, Col. Henry R. Dutton ('19), 
also Vice-President and General Manager 
of the "Casa." The meeting included a 
delicious luncheon, for the "Casa" is 
widely known for its outstanding cuisine. 
The next meeting is scheduled for 
March 31, as a Saturday noon luncheon 
at a convenient downtown San Diego lo- 



cality, in the expectation that a large per- 
centage of the Brown men in the locality 
may attend and elect officers for the ensu- 
ing year. The present officers of the Club 
are: President — Reginald H. Poland '14; 
Vice-President — Col. Henry R. Dutton 
'19; Secretary -Treasurer — Allen Hunting- 
ton '43. Dr. Poland has been traveling 
extensively in Europe for several months 
but recently has written his friends in San 
Diego that he expects to return shortly. 

Because of its comparatively recent or- 
ganization. The Brown Club of San Diego 
has not established a fixed date and place 
of meeting. It is expected that the Club 
will meet regularly as soon as the most 
convenient time and place have been 
found. 

The January meeting included women 
from Brown, for interest has developed 
in forming a Pembroke Alumnae Club. 
Seven Pembrokers attended: Dorothy 
Page Mills ('38); Hope Willis Hunting- 
ton ('44); Alice B. Eliot ('00); Olive Bils- 
borough Cowell ('35); Dorothy Allen 
Sheldon ('41); Florence Clifton Smyth 
('41); and Mary Pagliaro ('46). The 
alumni included Col. Dutton, Maj. Wil- 
liam J. Reed '13. Herman C. Copeland 
10, and Huntington.

A Columbia Sub 
When no Campus representative was 
able to arrange to attend the February 14 
dinner meeting of the Mid-Hudson Brown 
Club, a Columbia man stepped in and did 
a fine job. Judson Phillips (pen name, 
Hugh Pentecost), a writer and lecturer 
from New York, kept the 17 members in 
attendance very interested with his talk 
on "Behind the Scenes at a Television Pro- 
gram." After the formal program ended, 
everyone .stayed around to listen to the 
Robinson-LaMotta fight.

THE PICTURE TELLS THE PROGRAM: speakers at the annual dinner of the Engineering Association 

were, left to right: Williom B. McCormick '23, John J. Scofield '15, Dr. William W, Browne '08, 

Wayiie M. Faunce '21, President Wriston, Henry D. Wilson, Jr., '29, W. C. Worthington '23, Prof. 

George F. Carrier, A. K. Gustafson '51, and C. Douglas Mercer '06. 



Engineers Honor Watson 

A TRIBUTE TO Emeritus Professor Ar- 
thur E. Watson '88 was a stirring feature 
of the 38th annual dinner of the Brown 
Engineering Association held in New 
York's Fifth Avenue Hotel Jan. 26. A 
$750 contribution to the Brown Housing 
and Development Fund was made in 
honor of Dr. Watson, and accepted by 
President Wriston from the Engineers' 
president, Henry D. Wilson, Jr., '29. 

Prof. Watson was unable to attend the 
meeting, being held at home in Providence 
where his broken hip is mending. But he 
sent a stimulating greeting to the gather- 
ing. By way of reply, the Association pre- 
pared a book containing photographs of 
the meeting, the resolution, signatures of 
those present, and other pertinent mate- 
rial. When Wilson attended the Advisory 
Council meetings in Providence in Febru- 
ary, he and Robert Perkins '29 visited 
Prof. Watson to give him the souvenir. 

Results of the mail ballot were an- 
nounced, giving the following slate of 
officers for the year ahead: President — 
Henry D. Wilson, Jr. '29; Vice-President 
— Prof. William Prager; Secretary-Treas- 
urer — G. A. Pournaras '25; Directors — 
K. D. Demarest '29 and Eliot Bliss '44 of 
New York; W. H. Kimball '44 of Provi- 
dence. 

Toastmaster Wayne M. Faunce '21 
startled the head table at the Engineers' 
dinner by a revolutionary switch: he put 
the star turn on first, calling on President 
Wriston. It was something for the other 
speakers to have to follow him, for he was 
in top form as he talked frankly of Uni- 
versity problems today. Much of his talk 
appeared last month in this magazine. 

The other speakers were: Alumni Presi- 
dent William W. Browne '08; D. Douglas 
Mercer '06, Alumni Trustee, who was 
representing the Brown University Club 
of New York; William B. McCormick '23, 
Alumni Executive Officer; Prof. G. R. 
Carrier; W. C. Worthington '23, an honor- 
ary member of the Association; and A. K. 
Gustafson '51, student representative. 
(Some comments from the official report 
of the dinner: "If Gustafson is a typical 
Brown Senior, Brown is to be congratu- 



lated on turning out such fine engineers." 
"Prof. Carrier gave a brilliant five-minute 
talk on curriculum changes affecting the 
engineers. Due to his youthful appearance 
at the head table, most people thought at 
first he was the Student Representative.") 

In addition to the check for the Housing 
Fund in Prof. Watson's name. President 
Wriston was also given a check for $100 
as the year's addition to the James A. Hall 
Fund, in memory of the late Engineering 
Professor, Class of 1908. Eight Past Presi- 
dents of the Association acted as recep- 
tion committee, while Past Secretary- 
Treasurer Carl Kuester '26 provided the 
name tags. E. L. Chandler '09 led the sing- 
ing of Brown songs, with Earl Eldridge 
'27 at the piano. E. E. Jackson '1 1 is to be 
congratulated on his fine job as Chairman 
of Arrangements. 

The Association showed 472 active 
members on its rolls, according to John 
Scofield "15, Secretary-Treasurer. Sco- 
field's retirement from the post vyas 
marked by appreciation for his effective 
faithfulness. ... In introducing the student 
speaker, Toastmaster Faunce noted that 
it was just 30 years ago that he had had

student body on the dinner program of the

President attended the 1951 dinner — Wil- 
liam E. Farnham '99. 



Alumni Hockey Reunion 
That special loyalty which hockey 
seems to instil in its former players was in

The annual election of officers will also 
take place at this meeting. 

Paul N. Swaffield, ' 1 6, opened the speak- 
ing program with a talk on many of his 
experiences as a football official. He stated 
that the attitudes of sportsmanship and 
the clean competition found on college 
gridirons today are responsible for mak- 
ing American youth unbeatable. He spoke 
at some length on the 1950 Army-Navy

Fall River Plans 

Alumni in the Fall River area of Mas- 
sachusetts are saving the date of May 16 
for the biggest Brown dinner in years, 
when the Brown Club and the Pembroke 
Alumnae Club will join in promoting the 
event. President Wriston will be the 
speaker, and other intelligence is awaited 
as plans are developed. Brunonians from 
Newport. Taunton, and New Bedford will 
be invited to attend. 

Three April Concerts 

Three campus musical events of 
special interest to the alumni will be held 
in Alumnae Hall during the month of 
April, Prof. A. R. Coolidge '24 announces 
for the Department of Music. 

The first is the April 13 concert of 
the Brown-Pembroke Orchestra, Martin 
Fischer conductor. The piano soloist will 
be Edward B. Greene, former member of 
the Faculty of the Brown Department of 
Music. 

On April 24 the Brown University Glee 
Club will give its Spring Concert under 
the direction of David Laurent. Richard 
Leonard '53, piano soloist, and the Uni- 
versity Octet will be assisting artists. A 



feature will be the first performance of a 
new arrangement of Brown songs by Prof. 
Millard Thomson. This concert and that 
of April 13 will begin at 8:30. Although 
they are in the Brown-Pembroke Concert 
Series, single tickets will be available at 
the Alumnae Hall box office or the De- 
partment of Music, Prospect St. 

Members of the Rhode Island Brown 
Club and their guests will hear the Orches- 
tra in a "pops" concert April 17, when 
Fischer will again conduct. Leonard, the 
Octet, and the Brass Chorale are on the 
all-popular program. Fred L. Harson '31 
is chairman of the Brown Club committee 
on arrangements. This concert will start at 
8:30. 

Changing Our Clothes 

Observant readers hav» commented, 
applauding, on our changing format in 
the Brown Alumni Monthly. To answer 
some of the questions, we identify our 
new body-type as Times Roman. Created 
by the distinguished British designer, 
Stanley Morison, for use by the London 
Times, it has not long been available in 
the United States. It is considered particu- 
larly easy to read: "its chief asset is a 
forward motion which speeds the eye 
from letter to letter and from word to 
word." From the point of view of edi- 
torial economy, it has merit in providing 
generous volume for the space involved. 
We understand we are among the first 
periodicals to adopt this type. Headings 
and outlines are set in Spartan, or a blood 
relative in the immediate family called 
20th Century. We've been studying some 
new suggestions for the cover over a pe- 
riod of a year but encounter some of the 
usual difficulty in changing something es- 
tablished and familiar, even for something 
of better design. Your Board of Editors 
would be interested in your opinions. 

In working over the magazine, we 
acknowledge the counsel of our printers, 
Vermont Printing Co. of Brattleboro, as 
well as the personal critique of Otto 
Forkert, Chicago consultant. The latter 
has been especially interested in the 
alumni magazine field and devoted several 
days to advice at meetings of the Ameri- 
can Alumni Council.

Brunonians Far and Near 



EDITED BY DOUGLAS A. SNOW '45 



1878 

THE UNHAPPY WORD from San Jose, 
Calif., is that George F. Weston, Brown 
University's oldest living graduate, is seri- 
ously ill. On Feb. 16 he was visited by two 
good friends, Austin K. Allen '04 and Na- 
thaniel Blaisdell '83, who drove down 
from San Francisco on a beautiful day 
that saw acacia trees in full bloom and 
Japanese flowering cherry trees just burst- 
ing in brilliancy. Mr. Blaisdell's letter 
made it seem very vivid to us in the 
Alumni Office. At the pleasant home in 
the suburbs of San Jose, they were greeted 
by Mr. Weston's son, Stewart Weston '08, 
and the latter's wife, who had been resting 
"after an all-night vigil in the sick-room." 
After hospitable entertainment, the visi- 
tors were announced to Mr. Weston, but 
he was unable to respond to their greeting. 

1880 

Henry J. Boyce of Providence cele- 
brated his 92nd birthday Feb. 9, receiving 
many friendly greetings. Henry Hobson 
'06, his nephew, was good enough to in- 
form us of the event. 

1887 

Dr. Edmund D. Chesebro was recently 
re-elected to a three-year directorship in 
the Puritan Life Insurance Co. of Provi- 
dence. He is Medical Director-emeritus of 
the company. 

1888 

Francis H. Brownell presented his resig- 
nation as a Director of American Smelting 
and Refining Co. in New York this winter, 
and the Board accepted it with regret. Mr. 
Brownell took the step because of his in- 
tention to spend four or five months out of 
the year in Florida, and felt he should 
"make way for the substitution of one of 
the now active, promising younger execu- 
tives of the Company." His action, Mr. 
Brownell said, "in no way implies any less- 
ening of interest in the Company." He 
continued, in his letter of resignation: 

"I was attorney for the Everett, Wash., 
smelter when it was acquired by the Com- 
pany in 1903 and continued in that capac- 
ity. In 1909 I was made President of the 
Federal Mining and Smelting Company, 
an important subsidiary. Shortly there- 
after, I took legal charge of the Smelter 
smoke litigation and problems. In 1916 I 
became a Director and in 1917 Vice-Presi- 
dent and General Counsel in New York. 
Beginning in 1919 I was Chairman of the 
Finance Committee for 30 years. Begin- 
ning in 1920 I was First Vice-President for 
10 years and beginning in 1930 was Chair- 
man of the Board for 17 years." 

The Board noted that Mr. Brownell had 
"filled with the greatest distinction a num- 
ber of important executive offices in the 
Company, including that of chief execu- 
tive, and it is impossible to exaggerate the 
value of his services to the Company. It is 
only just to record that his contributions to 
the Company's success have not been sur- 
passed by those of any other individual. 
The full measure of his accomplishment 



must be attributed in part to his qualities 
of kindness, generosity and understanding. 
... It is typical of his steadfast loyalty to 
the Company that his wise counsel will 
continue to be available to the manage- 
ment." 

Mr. and Mrs. Brownell, who have been 
married 57 years, have a home on the 
ocean front at Hobe Sound, Fla. Bruno- 
nians will recall his many services to the 
University, the Brown Club, and Alumni 
activity in general. He was particularly 
helpful to young graduates starting out in 
their business careers. 



Wanton Old Liber? 

We often get requests for back 
copies of the Liber Brunensis, some 
years of which are difficult to come by. 
Leon Drury '33 of 28 Beacon St., 
Fitchburg, Mass., offers to make avail- 
able a copy of the Liber for the fol- 
lowing years to anyone who notifies 
him. (You might send him some 
stamps for postage, we suggest.) 

He has a copy for each of these 
years: 1892, 1899, 1900, 1901, 1902, 
1903, 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908, 
1909, 1910, 1911, 1916, 1927, 1928, 
1929, and 1930.

tribute to Henry D. Sharpe at the 25th an- 
niversary dinner of the Providence Com-

1930, and a trio sang a special song in his

Dr. Walter G. Cady, who had been a 
Director of the Long Lane School, Mid- 
dletown. Conn., since 1911 and President 
of the Board since 1933, resigned in Janu- 
ary. In 1944 he retired from the faculty of 
Wesleyan University where he had taught 
Physics since 1902. He has moved out to 
the California Institute of Technology to 
study ultrasonics on a U. S. Navy research 
grant. His address is Norman Bridge Lab- 
oratory, Pasadena. 

1896 

The Robert C. Vose Galleries in Boston 
continue to attract the interest of the art 
world and to command the respect of 



those who visit the exhibitions. One such 
was a one-man show by William James, 
son of the famous Harvard philosopher. 

1897 

Prof. Gregory D. Walcott, head of the 
Department of Philosophy at Long Island 
University, recently published a brochure 
entitled "The Rationality of the World." 
The sixth volume, too, of the series of 
Source Books in the History of the Sci- 
ences, of which he is the General Editor, 
has just come from the press. This latest 
work by Professor Thomas S. Hall of 
Washington University, bears the title of 
"A Source Book in Animal Biology." Sev- 
eral other volumes are in preparation. 
Late last fall, also. Professor Walcott was 
made a member of the Phi Beta Kappa 
Associates. 

Paul R. Bullard has moved to 25 Park

his fifth year there. He expects to be home 
in Springfield, Mass., after May 1. 

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., again served 
as National Chairman of the United Ne-

a gift of $250,000 to Dartmouth College 
toward student scholarships which bear 
the name of President-Emeritus Hopkins.

places on R. I.'s south shore, has been 
chosen for Reunion headquarters for the 
Big 50th this June. Watch the Monthly for 
more details! 

"My finest work that I am proud of," 
wrote Rev. Bertram A. Warren when he 
sent us a picture of the St. Paul's Episco- 
pal Church and Parish House in Pomona, 
Calif. He was Pastor there at one time but 
more recently was Rector of St. Paul's 
Episcopal Church in Walla Walla, Wash. 

He also advised us of the election of his 
son, Bertram B. Warren, as Treasurer of 
General Foods two years ago. Our class- 
mate is looking forward to his 50th Reun- 
ion but wondering if he can make the 
graduation of his grandson from Cornell 
at the same time. We hope he can. 

Frank A. Page was named to a director- 
ship in the Providence Boys' Club in Jan- 
uary.

the corporation in January. He is also a

five-weeks' stay in Florida, timing his trip 
north so he could attend the meeting of 
the Athletic Council and see the last bas- 
ketball game. 

1903 

Sherman A. Allen wrote us in February, 
remarking that he enjoyed the Monthly 
very much and never failed to look at the 
1903 notes. Then, he added his "bit": A 
year ago he retired after teaching modern 
languages at South High School, Worces- 
ter, Mass., for 32 years. In October, "after 
a period of catching up on delayed projects 
and relaxation at Ogunquit, Me.." he be- 
cam.e the Worcester County representative 
of the National School and Library Divi- 
sion of the Grolier Society, Inc. Recently 
he was assigned to the R. I. territory and 
is looking forward to renewing his ac- 
quaintance with the State in which he was 
born but in which he has spent few years. 
His address is still in Worcester, at 18 
North Parkway. 

Alfred E. Freeman has retired and is 
now living at 2285 Huntley Ct., San Mar- 
ino, Calif. 

1904 

Frederick W. O'Connell is a Director of 
the Providence Boys' Club. Five other

Classmates join in extending sincere 
sympathy to Dr. Edward G. Smith whose

1905 

Former R. I. State Senator Fred C. 
Broomhead was appointed industry mem- 
ber of the R. L Department of Employ- 
ment Security's Board of Review in Feb- 
ruary for a six-year term. He is an original 
member of the Board set up two years ago. 

1906 

Rev. Douglas Swaffield wrote from Al- 
ton, N. H.: "1 surely hope to be back at 
Reunion. My how time flies! Will plan to 
be there the whole week-end." This June 
will mark the Class' 45th anniversary 
away from Brown, and extensive plans are 
in the making for a memorable get-to- 
gether of all Classmates. Watch your mail 
and the Monlhly tor details. Doug has 
been instrumental in the forming of the 
Alton Historical Society and is its first 
President. 

Another Classmate heard from who 
plans to be around for the big June week- 
end is Dr. Charles C. Tillinghast whose 
reason for coming will be twofold. Be- 
sides the Reunion itself, he is looking for- 
ward to seeing his youngest son, Dave 
(this year's Bear Cub awardee), graduate. 
Even in retirement, Charlie keeps busy. 
Among his varied "outside" activities, he 
is Chairman of a leading committee of the 
American Baptist Convention. 

Several Classmates attended the funeral 
services, held in Taunton, for Wes Morse. 
He was planning on being in Providence

going to miss this friendly, helpful and 
considerate Classmate. 



The Rev. Harris M. Barbour, Minister 
of the North Egremont (Mass.) Baptist 
Church, wants his mail addressed in care 
of the church. 

Henry G. Carpenter does a nice job of 
editing the Alumni Bulletin of the Col- 
legiate School of New York. We were 
interested in a recent note announcing that 
his new Alumni Office there was now 
open. Carpenter pointed out that he could 
use on its walls several college pennants, 
naming a dozen that "should join the 
Brown pennant already in place." 

William A. Kennedy 

1907 

Leonard S. Little retired Jan. 31 as 
Manager of the Textile Service Section, 
Organic Chemicals Division, E. I. duPont 
de Nemours & Co., to open his own office 
as a chemical-textile consultant. His re- 
tirement is in line with duPont policy but 
the company will retain him in a consult- 
ing capacity. He remains as Chairman of 
the advisory committee to the Federal 
Trade Commission on water repellents 
and has again assumed his Chairmanship 
of the Executive Committee on Research 
of the American Association of Textile 
Chemists and Colorists. He is also head 
of the organization's general research 
committee and on the president's advisory 
committee. He is a Governor of the Amer- 
ican Association of Textile Technologists 
and is a member of several other textile 
professional groups in the U. S. and abroad. 

Through the courtesy of a mutual 
friend, we've been privileged to read a 
splendid account of the climbing of Long's 
Peak, Colorado's highest, by L. W. Jos- 
selyn. The Librarian of the Wells Memo- 
rial Library in Lafayette, Ind., has a long 
record of similar feats in the out-of-doors, 
but we had never read any of his personal 
narratives before. He writes a fine story. 

Charles Hibbard, former Commander, 
USN, is now the Rev. Charles Hibbard, 
having been ordained to the priesthood 
in the Episcopal Church by the Rt. Rev. 
Benjamin D. Dagwell, D.D., Bishop of 
Oregon, at St. Mary's Episcopal Church, 
Eugene, Ore., Feb. 13, 1951.

his long and noteworthy service as minis- 
ter of the Community Reformed Church 
of Manhasset, N. Y., reports his new ad- 
dress to be Valatie, N. Y., P.O. Box 397. 
Oscar may like to know that Valatie is the 
birthplace of our Bill Reynolds. 

Henry G. Clark and Mrs. Clark spent 
most of February and part of March at 
their favorite winter retreat, Nassau. 

John L. Curran has moved from North 
Providence to 282 Lake St., Seekonk, 
Mass., where he has a fine old farmhouse 
and a fair number of acres to enjoy. His 
law offices continue to be at 17 Exchange 
Place (Phenix Bank Bldg.), Providence 3. 

Dr. Frank A. Cummings has the sincere 
sympathy of the Class in the loss of his 
wife, the former Irene Seabury, who died 
in Providence, Feb. 22, 1951. Many of us 
will recall Mrs. Cummings as the friendly 
and gracious hostess at the Class Reunion 
breakfasts at the Cummings' house, 72 
Keene St., in major years. At the funeral 
were President George Hurley, W. P. 
Burnham, John L. Curran, Dr. Herbert E. 
Harris, the Rev. Dr. Merrick L. Streeter, 
and your Secretary. 




MARATHON BOWLER: George W. Parker 
'99 of Concord, N. H., 75-year-old champion, 
has a single string of 162 and a three-string 
total of 375 to his credit. In 1935 he bowled 
60 strings for a 101.8 overage; in 1940, 
65 for 100.5. Lost Fourth of July he cele- 
broted by bowling 100 strings— from 10 in 
the morning to midnight, with a total pinfall 
of 9174. A proofreader, he has been with 
the Concord Monitor Patriot for 26 years. 



1908 

Before he started his regular broadcast- 
ing of organ music over Newport radio 
station WRJM, C. LeRoy Grinnell used to 
play "request concerts" by telephone to 
hundreds of his friends from Cape Cod 
to Long Island. The enjoyment thus 
brought to elderly couples and shut-ins 
was well worth his high phone bill, he 
feels. Now, with his radio program, he 
has established contact with all his tele- 
phone audience and more. Roy's story was 
in the December Hammond Times (pub- 
lished by the Hammond Organ Co.) under 
the title, "Roy Grinnell, Good Neighbor." 
Roy was elected Auditor of the R. I. Press 
Club in February. 

Former Representative John J. O'Con- 
nor is associated as counsel with the new 
partnership of O'Connor, Foley & Grain- 
ger, specializing in general and admiralty 
law with offices at 29 Broadway, New 
York 6, N. Y., and the Washington Bldg., 
Washington 5, D. C. The O'Connor of the 
firm is John's son, John J. O'Connor, Jr. 

1909 

First Class Reunion to eat in the new 
Refectory scored another first in '09's long 
list of adventures in their interest in and 
affection for their College. On Feb. 20, 
twenty-one of the Class (and Jim Turner's 
son) enjoyed sitting with the students in 
the main dining room of the Refectory for 
their regular evening meal. And a good 
one it was, top. 

Harold Tanner and Billy Miller, our 
two Brown Trustee members present, took 
us for a tour through the attractive and 
splendidly appointed building. Those pres- 
ent were: Ross, Cook, Wells, Tinkham, 
Sherwood, Littlefield, Miller, Henderson, 
Buffum, Sweetland, Turner, Connell,

ing some of his driving rules: AL- 
WAYS — 1. Keep all windows clean. 
2. Keep car and equipment, including 
brakes, in perfect condition. 3. Keep 
your mind on driving. 4. Observe all 
speed laws. 5. Be wide-awake. 6. Stay 
at least 100 feet from the car in front, 
especially in rain. 7. Give the car in 
back clear signals, in plenty of time. 
8. Give pedestrians right-of-way. 9. 
Anticipate what other drivers are li- 
able to do before they do it. 10. Be 
courteous on the road. 

He adds, "Let the other fellow be 
the guy to rush to an accident. Nine 
times out of ten I'll be right behind 
him at the next traflic light." Jackson

Social Soldier 

"The Dean is no professional social 
worker. Yet, he has fostered a new 
moral climate and set new goals that 
will place the welfare agent squarely 
beside the military forces of the de- 
mocracies in the battle against totali- 
tarianism." The Dean is Kenneth D. 
Johnson '19 of the New York School

cently, an agency of the Community 
Services Society for 52 years. 

Believing that we can't "live in a 
world of our own . . . surrounded by 
a world of slums," Dean Johnson says 
that the social workers' strength is 
needed as much as military or eco- 
nomic power. "With their efforts," he 
maintains, "we can do much to make 
clear to the underprivileged of other 
lands how they can reap the benefits 
of freedom and put down the false 
creeds of the dictators."

cause of the unmerciful criticism to which

When "Brothers" Ailed 

The Government got an anti-strike 
injunction this winter against the 
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, 
that was not the end, as all America 
knew in February. There was a rail 
tie-up which seriously affected the na- 
tion's business and military logistics. 
The Brotherhood contended that the 
second strike was unauthorized and 
that its men reported "ill" on their own 
initiative. The case was back in Fed- 
eral Court in Chicago when a Gov- 
ernment witness testified that an official 
of the Brotherhood told the switch- 
men to "go out sick and stay out." 

The witness told of being threatened, 
and several Brotherhood members 
laughed loudly in the courtroom. 

"It's not a laughing matter," said 
U. S. Attorney Otto Kerner, Jr., '30.

In Lincoln's Church 

"Desperate People at Mv Door" 
was the title of the Saturday Evening 
Post article (March 3) in which the 
Rev. James D. Bryden '23 modestly 
described his wonderful success at 
solving people's problems for them. 
He is Director for Christian Educa- 
tion at Abraham Lincoln's old Wash- 
ington Church, the New York Avenue 
Presbyterian, and spends half of his 
time on counselling. He wrote about 
such strangers who came to him as the 
lad fleeing from a gang of killers, the 
lady who planned to leap from the 
Capitol Dome, and the man who 
wanted three weeks at a good hotel 
financed. 

There was more about Bryden in 
"Keeping Posted," especially word that 
he never uses hypnotism, although he 
studied it in his graduate work before 
turning to the ministry. He'd been 
tempted to employ it because he is five- 
eight while a young son is six-two. "A 
few posthypnotic suggestions might 
give me added stature in his eyes. But 
what really tempts me is my daughter's 
telephone conversations. Wonder if I 
can take them for another ten years."

The Presiding Bishop's Book for Lent. To 
me, this book means . . . well, it sup- 
plies the kind of nourishment essential to 
being able to behave like a teacher at all." 
The book was "Earth Might Be Fair" by 
Bishop Richard S. Emrich, published in 
1945.

to study the language and social welfare. 
Of his 45 fellow-students (35 Americans),

a rare phenomenon in my undergraduate

others!"

Class Night Plans 

Reunion Classes and other Brown 
groups are being invited to the Class 
Night Dance of the Seniors on Friday, 
June 1, with special facilities an- 
nounced for their convenience by Rob- 
ert Anderson, President of the Gradu- 
ating Class of 1951. As was the case 
last year, there will be tables for hire 
provided arrangements are made by 
May 21. 

Most of the Classes used the tables 
as a focal point of their Class Night 
promenade activities last year. The 
prices will be the same this June: $5 
for a round table seating 10, $12 for 
a U-shaped table accommodating 30. 
A sign with the Class numerals or 
other designation is included in the 
price. Reservations should be made 
with Joseph Fazzano, c/o Student Ac- 
tivities Office, Brown University. 

Tickets for the Class Night dance 
will be $2.40 if purchased in advance, 
just half of the price charged at the 
gate the night of the party. The price 
is the same for a stag or a couple. 



1947 

Because of the probability of most 
Classmates' being recalled into service be- 
fore long. Jay Kaufman is definitely in 
favor of a "Fifth" Reunion this June. A 
V-12er himself, who graduated in 1946 
but is affiliated with his original Class of 
'47, he feels that many of the boys in the 
same situation would like to have their 
Reunion this year instead of waiting until 
1952. We suggest that those who hold 
similar sentiments contact Jay at 1717 
Avenue N, Brooklyn. The Alumni Office 
and the Monthly will do everything possi- 
ble to encourage whatever plans are made 
in this connection.

"Am I getting older or is the world 
getting smaller?" writes Ray Elias from

he has been making. In December he di- 
rected the first American production of 
Henry Gheon's "Christmas in the Market- 
place" for a Warren (Ohio) civic commit- 
tee. Earlier he directed "Dear Ruth" for 
the Parma Score and Script Guild. Cur- 
rently, he is on the Play House's promo- 
tion staff, contacting different businesses 
about special group-rate nights. At Gen- 
eral Electric he met Doug Tobin '46 who 
went to the Cleveland plant from Lvnn 
last fall. He reports that Al Borelli '47 is

House. On his own hook, Ray has recently

1950 

An announcement has been sent out to 
all Class members heralding news of the 
coming "Zebra Derby" (first reunion) to 
be held in June. The Reunion Committee 
(see picture) is holding meetings every 
other Monday, either as strictly business 
sessions at Alumni House or supper dis- 
cussions at the Faculty Club. So far, here's 
the latest: 

Plans are centered around Commence- 
ment weekend, June 1-4, with the Alumni 
Dinner starting things off on Friday. After 
the Dinner comes the always-successful 
Campus Dance, and Saturday will be the 
big day. Joe Souza, Chairman of the Out- 
ing Committee, is negotiating for a noon- 
time "brace-up" luncheon and an after- 
noon of golf, Softball, horseshoes and 
beer (on the treasury!). At sundown, or 
when the softball has finally been lost in 
the tall grass, a reception (clink!) and 
dinner will be held with much food and 
few speeches. Sunday will be reserved for 
recuperation and visiting, and those who 
can are cordially invited to march down 
the hill with the "baby reunion" Class on 
Monday. 



From here it looks like quite a lineup; 
more details will be out soon. So, remem- 
ber. Zebras, watch the mails and the 
Monthly! and don't forget the Alumni 
Fund drive: '50 is behind it all the way.

1950 Notes 

Ens. Robert H. Nelson is serving on 
the USS Roanoke in the Atlantic, accord- 
ing to a recent note from his mother. Mrs. 
Nelson also informed us of Bob's engage- 
ment to Miss Lillis O. Palmer P '53, 
daughter of Dr. Arthur Palmer '11 and 
sister of Arthur Palmer, Jr., '48. 

F. Samuel Nardone was named a direc- 
tor of the Washington Trust Co. of West- 
erly (R. I.) in January. 

George Reynolds, Norm Wiener, Don 
Bach and Bob Gould wasted no time in 
getting into the Brown Club of New York. 
They joined in December. 

Vincent McCarthy is a Test Engineer 
with the U. S. Bureau of Standards. He is 
living at the Officers Service Club in 
Washington, D. C, and working at Col- 
lege Park, Md. Jim Cunningham '41, now 
in Washington with the government, met 
him and reported the news.

York Yankees in a player draft. He is re- 
cuperating in his Brockton home from 
severe facial injuries sustained when he 
was attacked by a pair of drunken hood- 
lums New Year's Eve. He was a wholly 
innocent victim, newspaper accounts 
agreed. 

Gale Swartwood, who came into the 
office to inquire about the January Com- 
mencement, told us he is an engineer with 
Metals Controls Corp. in Attleboro, where 
he is living at 242 Park St. 

John Romano has taken over the man- 
agement of the Greenwich Inn, 4 1 -room 
hotel in East Greenwich, R. I., which his

Pfc. Andrew R. DeCesare wrote that he 
was sorry to have "inconvenienced" us by 
his frequent changes of address. Noting 
his dateline, "Pohang, Korea", we can 
easily understand his changing where- 
abouts. His mailing address is now "L"

Div., FMF, c/o FPO, San Francisco. 

Murray S. Danforth, Jr., is a Member 
of the Corporation of the Providence

Congregational Church. He is attending 
Yale Divinity School.

Double-Drafted 

Upon graduating in June, last 
year's court Captain, Francis "Moe" 
Mahoney, was drafted by the Boston 
Celtics of the National Basketball 
Association. Well, Moe is playing 
basketball these days all right, but not 
for the Celtics — it seems the Army has 
a draft system, too. 

So, Pvt. Mahoney has been sinking 
baskets for the Ft. Devens (Mass.) 
quintet. At mid-winter he was averag- 
ing 15 points a game and had hit a 
29-point high against the Detroit Vag- 
abonds, a semi-pro team. But Moe's 
enthusiasm for the "Army game" is 
qualified; he isn't too crazy about chas- 
ing around the gymnasium after a 
typical G.I. day that starts at 5:30 a.m. 

At the season's end. Ft. Devens 
played the Redheads, an all-girl pro 
team. A basket by Mahoney decided 
it, even though he was wearing mittens, 
as the deal called for.

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY

II 



TALK 




THE FIRST FEW DAYS in the new wonder- 
land called the Refectory meant a con- 
stant parade of inspecting visitors, gog- 
gling and gabbling. And it took even the 
staff a bit to get used to the place and stop 
taking the wrong turn or getting caught 
between doors. It helped little to have a 
leak in the water main in George Street 
cut the Refectory off from its supply for 
several hours on the first Sunday, but this 
was just one of the minor crises which 
Manager William Davis and his assistant. 
Alan Maynard. surmounted heroically. 

Our favorite episode — and it was a 
wholly visual incident which loses in the 
telling — centered in one of the ladies who 
thought her department was getting a 
little too cool and sought to turn off one 
of the ceiling air-feeders. She wasn't quite 
sure which button to push or which switch 
to throw, so that she hesitated about mak- 
ing the move lest she disrupt something 
more important even than her own com- 
fort. Finally, however, she made the move 
and timidly flicked a knob on the wall. At 
the same moment, by pure coincidence, a 
newspaper photographer at work in the 
area set off a flash bulb that blinded with 
its quick light. "Good grief," cried the 
lady. "What have I done?" 

We felt sorry for a boy who had just 
gotten his diploma at the midwinter gradu- 
ation and went over to the Refectory for 
one of the first public inspection periods. 
"I'm leaving this place too soon," he said 
after he'd roamed a bit. "I won't be eating 
here. Instead, I've got to go home and eat 
Mother's cooking." 

> Jim Sutherland. Brown's hockey cap- 
tain, was a relieved young man when his 
midyear grades were such that he is again 
back in the line-up. It is not only that he 
is a great asset to his team, but it has com- 
pelled his friends to let up on one line of 
humor. Sutherland, you see, is a Brown- 
town father with three children, and the 
subject which really gave him trouble in 
his studies was Child Psychology. 

> The Vice-Chairman of the Board of 
Editors of this magazine may seem to be 
straying off the reservation as a contribu- 
tor to the Harvard Ahiiiini Bulletin. In his 
defense, we should say that it was inad- 
vertent and indirect. George W. Potter 
'21, a Pulitzer-Prize-winning editorial 
chief, contributed one of his customary 
columns "In Perspective" in the Provi- 
dence Journal when it was his turn to do 
so recently. He wrote about the athletic 
heroes of his youth, remarking by way of 
preliminary that he finds himself thor- 
oughly disinterested in today's crack foot- 
ball teams and players of distant institu- 
tions. They, he indicated, would never 



produce a Ted Coy or an Eddie Mahan. 
Because of Potter's drooling admiration 
for the Harvards of the golden age of the 
Big Three, Primus II, who edits "The Col- 
lege Pump," picked up the column in the 
Harvard Alumni Bulletin for Jan. 13. 

Because Potter more than makes 
amends through his constant and valued 
counsel at our own Board meetings, we 
forgive him his ancient disloyalties. 

> J. R. Cave '35 came up to us after the 
dinner of the Brown Engineering Associa- 
tion in New York and thanked us for get- 
ting him an apartment. Our face said, 
"Huh?" and he went on to explain that 
there were three would-be tenants hot 
after the apartment. He got his edge on 
the others when he discovered a copy of 
the Brown Alunuii Monthly on the own- 
er's desk and was prompted to introduce 
himself as a Brown man. 

y One of us on College Hill, who must of 
necessity attend many evening meetings 
and thus miss out on a corresponding num- 
ber of family dinners, was gratified to 
learn that he is missed at home. He over- 
heard one of his youngsters say to his wife. 
"Poor Daddy, he is the one who doesn't 
see you most." 

y Princeton alumni didn't like it much 
when the Chicago Tribune (Colonel Mc- 
Cormick, an Eli from New Haven, editor) 
wrote patronizingly: "They're pretty good, 
but the Ivy League isn't what once it was. 
We acclaim Princeton as champion of the 
minor leagues. It can beat Boy Scouts and 
Cub Scouts, but would be lost among 
men." 

With a conciliatory headline several 
days later, the Tribune published a letter 
from a reader: "As a suh:5criber to your 
paper, born and raised in the midwest and 
a graduate of Princeton University, I was 
stunned and confused by the purpose and 
objective of your recent editorial, 'The 
Minor League Champ.' It certainly must 
have been very satisfactory reading to 
the eight men on the Princeton football 
squad from Illinois and particularly the 
four from New Trier High School who 
only two or three years ago received ac- 
claim from your own newspaper's sport 
section as outstanding all-suburban or all- 
state athletes." The Tribune's heading 
was: "O.K.. The Major League Champ, 
Then." 

> Coach Hal Kopp of Rhode Island State 
hasn't relaxed on his undertaking to beat 
Brown in football. But he was startled by 
a gag at the midwinter dinner of the R. I. 
Century Club, which is dedicated to "pro- 
moting better sports at Rhody." They put 



before him at the head table a 1 0-pound 
bear steak. 

> At the time, the editors of the under- 
graduate Maroon at the University of Chi- 
cago didn't realize just how cute they had 
been. They ran a scare headline on one 
edition which read: "HUTCHINS OUT." 
The next line was in type so small that 
the hasty readers missed it and added "To 
Lunch." 

Howard Mort, Editor of the University 
of Chicago Magazine, says the few back- 
stage who knew that Chancellor Hutchins 
did plan to resign were startled. But no 
Maroon editor suspected he had a real 
scoop until a little later. In fact, Mort 
stopped his own presses to accommodate 
the announcement. 

> Dean Kenny, who questioned a couple 
of questionable columns in the Brown 
Daily Herald and disciplined the writers, 
must feel that he could add a bit to what 
President Dodds said last year about col- 
lege journalism: "Its role is to comfort 
the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." 

> Dean William C. DeVane, the felicitous 
speaker at Brown's midwinter Commence- 
ment, was off to a fine start on his talk to 
the graduates when he said: "The open 
season for good advice used to be con- 
fined, like a good game law, to a certain 
part of the year. Now it may come at any 
time." He said he was tempted, because 
of the too dark temper of our time, to 
quote from Ecclesiastes XII and, like Os- 
car Wilde, "could resist anything but 
temptation." He went ahead and quoted, 
most aptly. 

College graduates were assumed to be 
educated men, he said. "This is a large 
assumption, but I will stick to it on this 
occasion." The duty of educated men — 
their function — was to "put ice packs on 
the fevered brow of society." Incidentally, 
he wished that secondary education might 
be a deep massage rather than "the tick- 
ling process it now is." 

As for the immediate responsibility of 
the graduates, he added that he was be- 
traying no confidence that in the near 
future "many will be called and many 
chosen." 

> Reports from the Brown Clubs, like 
those annually made to the Advisory 
Council of the Associated Alumni, could 
so easily become routine and repetitious. 
But those of 1951 were a sparkling lot. 
Jack Monk amused us by pretending to 
rely on the wrong notes (a recipe involv- 
ing gin and vermouth). Mel Webster 
brought the first report from Cape Cod's 
new Club, showing how "Housing and 
Development developed us," how Presi- 
dent Wriston "comes down to speak at our 
summer meetings — he lives on the Cape 
then," and how they have good hopes but 
don't move fast. ("This is Cape Cod, re- 
member.") Dick Walsh told how mem- 
bers of the Club in Washington "meet 
regularly and check on each other's loy- 
alty — to Brown, that is." 

> Dr. Wriston is not impressed by all the 
devices being tried out to expedite educa- 
tion in certain quarters these days. It re- 
minds him of the visitor to Paris who 
boasted that she'd been through the Lou- 
vre in 15 minutes. What was more, she 
said. "I could have made it in half the 
time if the floors weren't so slippery."
