This great schol- arly undertaking, said Professor Robbins, has not pleased everyone. In fact, he'd heard of one woman who protested: "Why do they have to change it? If the King James Version was good enough for St. Paul, then it's good enough for me." > He'd been on the Brown campus be- fore. Senator Estes Kefauver told the undergraduates who turned out to hear him in Sayles Hall during the election campaign. It was while he was taking law studies at Yale — "an institution in New Haven" — and he came to Provi- dence to see a football game. Wet, cold, and shy of cash, he went over to the Kappa Sigma quarters (cheers from the Kappa Sigs in the hall ) sure that he could get aid and comfort there. "I'm a brother Kappa Sig," he had said, greeting the first men who greeted him. "Oh, yeh?" was their answer. (The Kappa Sig delegation did not repeat its cheers.) > The Senator was introduced by his Rhode Island colleague, John O. Pastore, who told of his visits to Sayles Hall at Commencement time in his former capac- ity as Governor to bring greetings to the alumni of Brown. "I trust today will be a more profitable occasion," he said. > Frequently, as Randy Fort of the Emory Ahunntis notes, the Alumni Of- fice finds itself in the middle of small and large family problems. Mail sent to one of his alumni in Washington was re- turned with the notation that he had moved to Buffalo. Forwarded to the Buf- falo address, the mail came back again, marked "Unknown." Emory then sent an inquiry to the alumnus at his old address in Washington, eliciting this reply: "Our maid moved to Buffalo, and the postman took it upon himself to forward all our mail to her address for two weeks. Hence the confusion." Rand Fort is the chap who gave cur- rency to the paraphrase: "Old professors never die. They just grade away." > The ad in the Classified column of the Brown Daily Herald said simply: BUCKS DIRTIED Phil and Bills White Buck Dirty- ing Service, 210 North Hope. Tel TE 1-9120 > William E. Wilson, who taught in our English Department at one time, is now back in his native Indiana. Recently he was invited to speak before the Lincoln Society in Springfield, III., and, after he had accepted, was asked for a title. Since his studies in Lincolniana had been chiefly on the Indiana years, he felt what he had to ofl^er was on "Abe Lincoln in Indiana." The gentleman from Springfield sounded doubtful over the phone and a bit embarrassed. "You know," he said, 'I'm not sure our Illinois audience would be too pleased. We have a great deal of State pride, naturally, and we look on Lin- coln as an Illinois man. Don't you sup- pose you could talk on something else?" "Well," said Wilson, "we could an- nounce the topic as 'Abe Lincoln on his Way to Illinois.' How would that be?" "Splendid." So Wilson gave the same lecture under that title to the satisfaction of all and with extra inward amusement for himself. > Several University buildings were used as polling places in the November elec- tions. That's all the background you need before we say that someone called up on Election Day and asked the Brown switch- board where Rip Van Winkle Hall was. > One of Penn State's favorite professors was retiring, and the testimonial dinner, was a pretty gloomy affair (according to the Penn Stale Alumni News) until the guest of honor rose to speak. "I appre- ciate all these handsome compliments," he said, "and I am happy that they come at a time like this, for, after all, I much prefer taffy to epitaphy." Moreover, they weren't to count him out too soon: "I come from pretty stout and long-lived stock, I might live to be an octogenarian — and even — a nonentity." > Prof. Charles W. Brown '00 took great delight the other day in showing us a communication he had received from the University. At least, it was an envelope, stencil-addressed, with a single enclosure — a blank sheet of paper. Had we been the flippant sort, we would have told him the anecdote in The Pleasures of Publish- ing (Columbia University Press) about a librarian who received a sealed but empty envelope from the Government Printing Office. Wondering what it meant, he got an answer from a friend. The latter took a quick look inside and said: "Oh, that's a reprint of an unpublished article."

Llll NO. 3 A DISTINGUISHED TERM of 20 years in office came to an end this fall when Henry D. Sharpe '94, Chancellor of Brown University since 1932, declined election for an- other term. The Corporation acknowledged his notable service by naming him Chancellor Emeritus, the first time in Brown's history that an individual has been so desig- nated. The Corporation, meeting Oct. 17, elected as his successor Harold B. Tanner '09, a Trustee since 1933 who has been a leader in University affairs and frequently legal counsel for it. Two Trustees were also elected by the Corporation: W. Easton Louttit '25. of Providence, University Archivist since 1938 who had served a previous seven-year period as Alumni Trustee, and Daniel L. Brown '12, Boston attorney. Of the office of Chancellor, President Wriston has said: "It is a post of great distinction, honor, and importance in the University government. As Chairman of the Board of Trustees, the Chancellor exercises many of the functions which characterize the Chairman of the Board of business corporations. Traditionally, the office has been filled by men who have given many years of loyal and valuable serv- ice. Devoted leadership of this exceptional degree has marked the long tenure of Chancellor Sharpe. The many years of service already contributed by Mr. Tanner make clear the calibre of leadership he will provide in his new office." Links in the Chain It was Sharpe who placed Tanner's name in nomination at the Corporation meeting Oct. 17. The latter responded to the vote which followed by saying: "When you invite me to become a link in the chain of distinguished Chancellors, you are doing me a great honor and offering a challenging opportunity for further service to my Alma Mater. "It is strange to think of the Chancellor as being any- body but Henry Dexter Sharpe. For my own part I shall probably never accept it. For a period of a good many years — above and beyond his duty on many occasions — he has been called to do things and has established a record diffi- cult to follow. It is a fair deduction that each of us was elected to membership on the high principle that he was a person of judgment and personal influence. It is also rea- sonable to deduce that each accepted an implied trust to exercise those talents for the best interest of Brown and consciously and actively to try to use that talent on the task before us. For my part I shall do my utmost to use every ounce of weight to that end. I need your help for it, as well as the counsel of Chancellor Sharpe." CHANGE CHANCELLOR EMERITUS Henry D. Sharpe '94 with the Brown Beor award he received from the Associated Alumni in 1949. in the CHANCELLERY THE NEW CHANCELLOR of Brown University, Harold B. Tanner '09, conferring with President Wriston on the day of the Corporation meeting in October. The proposal to name Sharpe as Chancellor Emeritus came from Claude R. Branch "07: "There has been no per- son who has done so much for Brown and the whole com- munity as he. We should keep his name in a prominent place for a long time — and may it be a long time." Expressing his appreciation, Sharpe called it a signal honor as well as a novel one. "I shall certainly try to per- form all the services I can, to continue my service to the University, and to be of such assistance to your new Chan- cellor as I may be able." The Forms of Appreciation The University has cited Sharpe on at least four con- spicuous occasions. In 1920, when he received an honorary A.M., he heard President Faunce describe him as: "Leader in industry and lover of books, giving half of life to ma- terial production and the other half to the institutions of philanthropy, education, and religion, captain of the new movement to endow and strengthen." The Susan Colver Rosenberger Medal, awarded by Fac- ulty vote, had been given to only five before him, and it is regarded as Brown's highest accolade. The 1944 citation: "Today you are completing 50 years as an Alumnus of the University, four decades as a Trustee, and 12 years as its Chancellor. In these relationships you have consistently ex- hibited the temper and qualities of a scholar, the impulses and habits of a philanthropist. With unflagging zeal for the strengthening of this institution, you have been a staunch defender of academic freedom, the most sensitive manifes- tation of a really free society. Therefore, the Faculty of Brown University confers upon you its most distinguished award for specially notable and beneficial achievement." Five years later came the Brown Bear Award from the Associated Alumni: "Loyal Alumnus, Trustee, and Chan- cellor — you have served your Alma Mater with fidelity and wisdom for more than half a century. You have given un- sparingly of your energy, your counsel, and your benefi- cence for the welfare of the University and the enhance- ment of the whole community. In recognition of a lifetime of true devotion to Brown, your fellow alumni salute you." When the Sharpe Refectory was dedicated last June, it was noted that "The University and the community have been abundantly enriched by the generosity of a great heart and the wisdom of a luminous mind." A Citizen Who Serves The chronicle and the fabric of Brown show innumerable traces of his interest. He was chairman of a building and endowment fund committee appointed in 1925 to fulfill the condition of the gift of the Aldrich brothers, Charles and Henry, who made possible the athletic plant on Elmgrove Ave. Twenty-five years ago he established five fellowships in the Graduate School. Brown's bicentenary tribute to George Washington was a tablet he provided. He was Chairman of the University Council, which in 1936 set up a long-term program to increase Brown's financial re- sources. He has been President of the Rhode Island Alpha of Phi Beta Kappa. He is Honorary Chairman of the Asso- ciated Alumni. In the community he is known as the "father of the Providence Community Fund," whose first President and first campaign chairman he was. He was an organizer and President of the New England Council, President of the Rhode Island Historical Society, President of the National Metal Trades Association. He has been an officer of Junior Achievement, Inc., Chairman of the Foreign Commerce Advisory Committee of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, Vice-President of the national Community Chests and Councils, and a member of the national Advisory Commit- tee of the American Historical Association, Vice-President of the Providence Journal Company, national Treasurer of the Unitarian Laymen's League, President of the Puritan Life Insurance Co., Chairman of the R. I. Foundation, a national officer of the American Cancer Society, organizer of the Providence Governmental Research Bureau, Presi- dent of the R. I. Expenditure Council, member of the Board of the National Industrial Conference, Trustee of the R. I. School of Design, and director of numerous local agencies in business, philanthropy, and civic life. The list does not begin to be exhaustive, and does not include his principal life work in industry as President and Treasurer of Brown & Sharpe Mfg. Co. in Providence. He continues as Chair- man of its Board, although he resigned from the other duties a few years ago. He has given the Company nearly 60 years of service, having started directly upon his gradu- ation from Brown. Mrs. Sharpe also received a Brown honorary degree in 1950, and Henry D. Sharpe, Jr., graduated from Brown in 1945. BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY The IJth Chancellor Harold B. Tanner, who becomes Brown's 13th Chancel- lor in 188 years, is senior partner of the Providence law firm of Tillinghast, Collins and Tanner. He received Brown's honorary LL.D. in 1949, with this citation: "More than all else the world needs men of intellect and character, ready to accept heavy responsibilities and discharge them as a public duty, without expectation of reward. The great- est endowment of any university lies not in its invested funds, however large, but in its loyal sons. To the service of Brown you have contributed time, thought, and talent be- yond estimation. Your professional career and achieve- ments richly deserve recognition, but today, on your 40th anniversary (of graduation), we choose to emphasize your single-minded devotion to this ancient and beloved Univer- sity; matched by few, it has been surpassed by none." Tanner is Moderator of the First Baptist Church in Provi- dence and was chairman of a special committee which sought to make the Meeting House a national shrine. He has been President of the R. I. Bar Association, a member of the R. I. Judicial Council. President of the Greater Providence YMCA, R. I. War Fund Chairman. Trustee of the R. I. School of Design and the YWCA. and member of many commissions in education, the law, and public affairs generally. He was a leader in the Housing and Develop- ment program and on many, many committees of the Uni- versity over the years, including the Advisory and Execu- tive Committee of the Corporation. Ralph C. Tanner '36 and Earl C. Tanner '41 are sons, while the family roster has also included Willard B. Tanner '79, his father, and Kenneth J. Tanner '12 and Herbert D. Tanner '11, broth- ers. From the Gift Register FOR MANY YEARS at the Sayles Hall meeting on Com- mencement Day, the alumni of Brown used to listen with interest and appreciation to an announcement of gifts to the University during the previous academic year. Such a listing was also carried in our Commencement issue. Some of our readers have told us they missed this an- nouncement, which has not been made since the abandon- ment of the Sayles Hall meeting. As an experiment, we are printing herewith some excerpts from the Gift Register of Brown University for the months of July, August, and Sep- tember, 1952.

Various gifts under $25.00 Total 302.98 357.58 $109,660.56 DECEMBER 1951: THE GOVERNMENTAL STRUCTURE of Brown University is unique, different from any other in all the world. Yet its individualism, characteristic of Rhode Island, has been so tempered by time that the University functions effectively in the modern world. Brown's Charter was enacted as a law of the Colony and remains as a statute of the State. It is our fixed star; we can do nothing that contradicts its prohibitions or transgresses its grants of power. It has both the advantages and the dis- advantages of age. On the one hand, there is the great pres- tige that comes with long survival; that is an asset of incal- culable value. Moreover, some of the rights and privileges granted in 1764 do not appear in modern charters; they are a priceless inheritance. On the other hand, there are inevi- table archaisms which occasionally prove embarrassing. It should not be surprising that the Charter, fashioned so long ago, has shortcomings as a working instrument. It is remark- able that it can operate at all in an environment so radically altered. .4 History-Making Document The chief source of its vitality is that in establishing an educational institution our forefathers dared very boldly. They had pettinesses, even as their modern successors, for they were human. But when they embodied their thoughts and their plans in that fundamental Charter, they curbed their differences and made a concerted effort to achieve something distinctive. It contains no weak or timorous word; no great issue is dodged. With intrepidity and confidence they put freedom at the core of the new enterprise. For that reason the Charter of Brown University made history in the field of education, in social relations, in religious tolera- tion, and in the cultural life of this community, this com- monwea'th, this nation, and, indeed, the world. The Charter recognizes five elements in our immediate constituency: the Corporation, the President, the Faculty, the Students, and the Alumni. The Corporation is bicameral, being composed of a Board of Trustees and a Board of Fellows. Its meetings are ex- traordinary, absolutely without parallel. The two bodies assemble separately in the same room at the same time, the Trustees under the chairmanship of the Chancellor, the Fellows with the President as chairman. They follow the same agenda and have a joint Secretary. Each body votes separately, but every motion requires concurrent action. Half the number of Fellows present — which, with a bare quorum, might be only three persons — could block the pro- ceedings of the whole Corporation. The checks and balances characteristic of 18th century constitutionalism appear in their strongest form, for there is no provision against dead- lock. The procedure constitutes an extraordinary precaution against hasty or drastic action. The Share in the Management The Charter aimed to keep the emphasis steadily upon the intellectual, rather than the operational, functions of the University. To that end control of the business affairs of the institution was not assigned to the Trustees alone; they were required to share the management of those activities with the Board of Fellows. Consequently the Trustees never meet except when the Fellows are also in session. Thus the general management of the business of the University is the joint responsibility of Trustees and Fellows acting together. Because of this fact, the committees of the Corporation are usually joint committees. The Advisory and Executive Com- mittee and most others which act between meetings of the Corporation are so constituted. In voting upon the work of committees, the two Boards act separately, and they must LAST WINTER, during a lively discussion by the Advisory Council of the Associated Alumni, the statement was made that Brown men do not understand the structure of the University, the function of each element in it, and the responsibilities of each. This magazine was asked to pre- pare an informative article which would assist in a full understanding of the subject. At our request. President Wriston has revised an exposition he made six or seven years ago. It should be required reading for anyone with the interests of the University at heart; it will, incidentally, prove good reading, too. THE STRUCTURE OF BROWN By HENRY M. WRISTOK concur in order to adopt recommendations or to ratify committee action. The Board of Fellows, however, possesses separate and distinctive powers in addition to those shared with the Trus- tees. The Charter specifically delegated to the Fellows, who- were called the "Learned Faculty," control of "the instruc- tion and immediate government of the College." They^ therefore, can and do meet separately when discharging their functions of approving curricula, establishing degree requirements, and voting degrees. The design was to guaran- tee intellectual independence by committing the educational process wholly to the hands of a group who were to reflect the cultural and scholarly character of the University. In no other American institution was the primary intellectual emphasis more clearly defined or so carefully protected. Any description of the operation of the Corporation is likely to leave a sense of confusion. Experience alone re- veals how well the governing bodies function. In 1930 a distinguished group of educators made a survey of the Uni- versity; they professed bewilderment after they had read and discussed the Charter; but, when they applied the test of history, they concluded that "somehow it worked . . . machinery and coordinate boards giving the appearance of cumbersomeness and occasions for friction and delay did work." I confess that after my first meeting with the Corporation THE STUDENTS (right): "They have a freedom of opinion and action which runs well beyond ordinary collegiate practice." BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY DECEMBER 1952 I did not understand how a body so organized could ever reach a responsible decision upon a matter of great diffi- culty. Experience has shown that it can. The amendment of the Charter in 1942 illustrated the point. The question was old; it had been discussed recurrently for half a century. Compromise and partial solutions had been given fair trial and had not proved satisfactory. Summoning its powers of decision, the Corporation met the issue deliberately but firmly, discharging its vital function at the highest level of responsibility. The votes had to be taken not once but twice, with several months intervening for observation, reflection, and debate. At the end the dissenting minority was very small, and the decision left no bitterness. The wisdom of the action is attested by the speed with which the result was ac- cepted by the entire constituency. More recently the Corporation has faced another basic problem — student housing. Again the issue was old; many expedients had been tried, yet the situation remained un- satisfactory. Following careful preparatory work by their subsidiary body, the Advisory and Executive Committee, the Trustees and Fellows reached important decisions upon fundamental policy and program, with steadfastness and calm. The Reason the System Can Work What is the secret of the successful operation of a compli- cated organization that so baffles and confuses observers? The answer is really very simple indeed. It works as long as both Trustees and Fellows center their attention upon the interests of the University instead of quarrelling about their respective prerogatives. Mutual cooperation makes a seem- ingly cumbrous instrument function with smoothness and even flexibility. Indeed, it would be difficult to find a uni- versity governing body that discharges its high responsibil- ity with equal efi'ectiveness. There have been mistakes, of course. To impatient reformers decision sometimes seems to move on leaden feet. In the long perspective of Brown's history, however, the record of the Corporation is notably good. The second element in the structure of the University, recognized by the Charter, is the President. Reference to the office is brief indeed: "It is constituted that the instruc- tion and immediate government of the College shall for- ever be and rest in the President and Fellows." His election is provided for, he is made a member of the Fellows and their presiding officer, but beyond those brief references to the office his powers are left to delegations of authority and to practice under the Charter. Historically the powers of the President have varied from something approaching dom- inance almost to insignificance. His influence has been con- ditioned by the climate of opinion in which he moved, by the temper of the Corporation, the Faculty, and the Alumni. It will surprise many that these factors have proved more important than the personality of the President. Two of Brown's most vigorous leaders — Wayland and Andrews — ended their labors for the University in frustration. The President is expected to be an educator, to have been at some time a scholar, to have judgment about finance, to know something of construction, maintenance, and labor policy, to speak virtually continuously in words that charm and never offend, to take bold positions with which no one will disagree, to consult everyone and follow all proffered advice, and do everything through committees, but with great speed and without error. Powers Undefined; Obligations Specific The third element in the structure of the University is the Faculty. No powers are delegated to the Faculty by the Charter, though it provides for the appointment of person- nel. If powers are undefined, obligations are specific. The Faculty must give youth of all religious denominations "a like, fair, generous, and equal treatment." In their teach- ings the Faculty are required to "respect the sciences," and not to make "sectarian difTerences of opinions . . . any part of the public and classical instruction." If the Board of Fellows insisted upon exercising its full prerogative that "the instruction and immediate government of the College shall forever be and rest in the President and Fellows," the Faculty would have no corporate function at all. But over the years sound practical sense has led to such formal and informal delegations of authority, to such real- istic and sensible interpretations, that in practice the Brown Faculty exercise an initiative and control of curriculum, dis- cipline, and educational policy similar to that exercised in institutions whose charters read wholly differently. The Board of Fellows, nonetheless, continues to take a lively in- terest in educational matters. At a recent meeting, for ex- ample, after the degrees had been voted, a couple of hours were spent in discussion of the make-up of the present Fac- ulty and plans for maintaining and enhancing its strength. No tension exists between the Fellows who possess the authority and the Faculty who exercise the power because both concentrate upon the great issues and relegate the lesser to insignificance. It is a reminder that constitutions can be interpreted in action as long as there is sound perspective upon the task at hand. The Charter refers to the Students only in the passive voice, as it were. Their religious preferences are protected, their morals are set down as a primary concern, but they are definitely to be governed. There is no hint in the Char- ter that any duties or powers shall be conferred upon them. Yet, anyone familiar with the American college world might live upon this campus for years without detecting in prac- tice any less self-government, any less participation in the activities of the University than would be found in an insti- tution where, by charter or by statute, the Students were assigned formal powers. On the contrary, they have a varied and interesting life, a freedom of opinion and action which runs well beyond ordinary collegiate practice. The Zone of Alumni Responsibility What are the Charter provisions regarding the Alumni? Mention is brief, being on'y by inference, in the preamble. The reference occurs in the frequently quoted phrase, "in- stitutions for liberal education are highly beneficial to so- ciety by . . . preserving in the community a succession of men duly qualified for discharging the offices of life with usefulness and reputation." The Charter thus refers to the activities of graduates in the community but assigns them no powers, duties, rights, or responsibilities in the conduct of the University itself. The Alumni were expected to be the ambassadors of the institution in the world at large. So indeed they are. Brown University is judged in the scholarly world by its Students who enter graduate and pro- fessional schools, by the work of its Alumni as teachers and administrators. It is judged in the community by the "usefulness and reputation" of its graduates in their daily tasks and their civic activities. Their good repute is a solid and continuous asset. Despite the silence of the Charter, however, precedent and practice have developed a wide zone of responsible ac- tivity within the institution. This was a historical necessity. If the benefits promised in the preamble were genuine, it was inevitable that those graduates who discharged "the offices of life" with distinction in the community would, as 8 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY THE ADVISORY AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ac's between meetings of the Corporation.

See page 12 for the full personnel of this and other stonding committees.) a corollary to that attainment, be called to the responsibility of supporting the institution which had contributed to their own position. When the University had nurtured men of character and distinction in sufficient number, they would naturally be chosen to take their places in the Corporation. Who Controls the Corporation? Practically, Alumni control the Corporation. Of the Fellows, 12 in number, all but two are Alumni. One of the two is the President who, by almost universal custom, is appointed without reference to his previous collegiate affili- ation. The reason is clear: in a country where education has no national controls, where each institution is under the jurisdiction of its separate board, the only means of attain- ing coordination and harmony among the myriad institu- tions is by the free interchange of professional personnel, instructional and administrative. The over-all success of this principle in the United States is obvious. The other non- alumnus is a direct descendant of one of the founders and a member of the family from whom this institution derives its name. There is, consequently, a personal intimacy with the history and destiny of the University which gives him a relationship somewhat different from that of an alumnus, but no less significant. In the Board of Trustees the dominance of the Alumni is even more overwhelming, all but three of the 42 members being Brown graduates. The first of these three represented the Quaker interest as was provided in the Charter at the time of his election. The second is a member of a family long associated with this University; in fact, one of the houses in the new Quadrangle carries the name. The third is the holder of an honorary degree from Brown, and his son was an alumnus. Each is a long-time resident of Rhode Island with a deep concern for the welfare of the University. DECEMBER 1952 "A SUCCESSION OF MEN duly qualified. "The reality of Alumni power is apparent in all its substance and verity." Moreover, the interests of the Alumni as an organized group have been given explicit recognition. Graduates (and many other Alumni) have the privilege of nominating (vir- tually electing) one third of the members of the Board of Trustees. Everything has been done to facilitate complete independence of choice, to provide the most convenient arrangements for such nominations, and generally to make the representation as effective as possible. The procedures are embodied in an agreement which leaves them wholly in the hands of the Associated Alumni up to the moment of formal election. A list of candidates is prepared by the Ex- ecutive Committee of the Associated Alumni, after full op- portunity is given regional Brown Clubs to make sugges- tions. The slate is determined at the Advisory Council meet- ing, and the nominees are then voted upon by nearly the whole Alumni body. The two persons thus chosen are for- ma'ly elected by the Corporation, 90% of the members of which are Alumni. As provided by the agreement, Alumni Trustees resign at the end of seven years and are not im- mediately eligible for reelection. In this manner their man- date from the Alumni body is kept fresh, but their terms are long enough to let them gain experience in the work of the Corporation and play an effective role in its functioning. By historical processes the Alumni, for whose participa- tion in the governance of the University the Charter made no provision, now dominate it. The Corporation, indeed, is a fair cross section of those who, after initial guidance by the University, have achieved "usefulness and reputation" in the world at large. The Evidence of Alumni Devotion Alumni loyalty, translated into official responsibility, produces amazing manifestations of self-sacrificing devo- tion. We had recently, for example, the full-time services during 12 years of a Treasurer who accepted no remunera- tion but brought to his duties industry, wisdom, and skill be- yond praise. Week after week the Investment Committee wrestles with our basic financial problems. The Advisory and Executive Committee at its monthly meetings and its members in between times give scrupulous attention to the detailed business of the University. The Board of Fellows not only meets its formal obligations but evinces a lively interest in everything that affects the integrity of our intel- lectual life. Special committees spend time, thought, and energy upon the solution of particular problems. The semi- 10 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY annual over-all review by the full Corporation is an effec- tive instrument for coordinating the varied activities having to do with the management of Brown's affairs. Membership in the Corporation is only one means by which the Alumni directly influence the course of the Uni- versity. The Associated Alumni are a completely autono- mous body with powerful influence and great responsibilities. The Executive Committee of that body and its Advisory Council affect policy at many points and help shape our course. The Alumni Monthly is published by the University and sent free to all Alumni; it is wholly controlled, however, by a Board of Editors appointed by the Associated Alumni; it is, therefore, an organ of opinion and promotion under Alumni direction. The Alumni Fund Trustees establish their own procedures and conduct their own campaign. The Athletic Advisory Council virtually determines the athletic program. To all these activities, and to those of the many regional Brown Clubs, large numbers of Alumni give loyal and valued service. The reality of Alumni power is apparent in all its sub- stance and verity. The processes exist by which it may be channeled into fullest effectiveness. It is one of the primary functions of the Assoc-ated Alumni to be certain that these procedures are understood by all graduates. As each alum- nus clearly pictures his relation to the College and accepts its implied obligations, he takes his place as an active and vital member of the organization of the University, formally and informally contributing to the determination and ex- ecution of policies. In summary, if one examines what actually transpires, it is evident that, despite the brief and oblique reference in the Charter, there is a larger substantive control of this Uni- versity by its own Alumni than in any but a very small group of institutions in the entire country. In no institution is it greater. Keeping the Goal in Perspective Such is the structure of Brown University. Without vio- lating the fundamental law by which we are governed, prac- tical expedients have opened the way for the Faculty, the Students, and the Alumni to play roles quite unforeseen in 1764. Because so much of this structure rests upon tra- dition and experience, it is dependent upon mutual respect and forebearance. Lacking active cooperation the whole fabric would disintegrate. The balance between the several elements is maintained by absorption in the fundamental educational purpdses of the institution. Success is utterly conditioned by mainte- nance of those essential aims in right perspective. Friction with regard to prerogative would instantly upset that bal- ance. If the Board of Fellows were selfishly to exercise its full powers, the Faculty would be helpless. If the Faculty were to insist upon the full letter of their delegated author- ity, the Student body could be deprived of all independence. If the Corporation were jealously to protect its formal rights, the Alumni body could be without influence. Similarly, if the Alumni in any of their organizations were to make an issue of their recognition rather than exploiting the great powers and privileges which they possess, there could be no effective cooperation. A separatist spirit, by which any one element were set against, or even apart from, other elements of the constituency, would result in evil. Kip- ling summed up the way to disaster when he denounced the pretentious "brave new world," "where all men insist on their merits, and no one desists from his sins." It is essen- tial to the welfare of our University for all men to insist on its merits, and for each to desist from his sins. A Look Toivard the Future With the end of the war, Brown addressed itself to great problems which had been overlaid by preoccupation with immediately pressing concerns. It was said then that if they were attacked with boldness and courage, with wisdom and energy, with everyone doing his best, they could be met. If all cooperated vigorously, there would be an opportunity for this University to seize a position of leadership in edu- cation such as it never had before. The validity of that chal- lenge was shown in the success of the program for student housing. Already the Quadrangle has become an educational asset; the evidence is even more apparent with the current college year. Other urgent undertakings remain. War's inflation, which accelerated with passing time, necessitates large increases in resources just to maintain our position; yet more will be needed if we are to move ahead. We must set about raising that money promptly; thus the Alumni Fund assumes a new importance. Student recruitment and selection can be doubly successful with the aid of a loyal and enthusiastic Alumni body. The Faculty needs strengthening; retaining our distinguished scholars and teachers, replacing those who retire, and attracting others depend upon faith that Brown has a great future. Once that faith falters, an institution be- comes a happy hunting ground for other universities in search of talent. A united constituency is essential to the fullest measure of faith in the future of the University. We are the inheritors of a grand tradition. Our Alumni roll is star-studded with great names. We have a strategic position and notable assets. There lie before us opportuni- ties exceeding any we have known in the past. The Greeks had a word for our present need — "enthusiasm." It is one of the most picturesque of all words borrowed from antiq- uity. It means "filled with a god." Godlike men have pow- ers beyond the human, endurance beyond the mortal, en- ergy beyond their own. The founders of Brown University exhibited those traits. The magnitude of our modern task demands the same qualities. We should cherish our great past as a source of inspiration, and then summon fresh courage and renewed energy to attain new goals.

Per- kins "19 on their diplomas. He is Secretary of the University Corporation. As Associ- ate Justice of the Superior Court, he is also Rhode Island's newest Judge and the most recent addition to a long list of Brunonians who have served the citizens of the State on its bench. Last year, when a vacancy arose in the Superior Court, the lawyers of Rhode Island voted Perkins as the best qualified person to fill it. Governor Roberts acted upon this strong endorsement in giving him an interim appointment. The confir- mation of the State Senate will be neces- sary when the General Assembly con- venes this winter. Two hundred friends were present in the courtroom when Presiding Justice G. Frederick Frost "96 conducted the cere- mony of reading the judicial oath. The new judge donned the robes formerly worn by the late Justice John S. Murdock '96. Perkins was formerly U. S. Assistant District Attorney. Chairman of the Pub- lic Utilities Hearing Board, and President and Secretary of the Bar Association. He was for many years Chairman of the Board of Bar Examiners, in addition to holding other posts of church, civic and professional responsibility. He is the Secretary of the Class of 1919. Brown and Louttit Named THE Brown University Corporation added two names to its roster in Octo- ber by the election of W. Easton Louttit "25 of Providence, who had previously served seven years as Alumni Trustee, and Daniel L. Brown "12, lawyer who was last year President of the Boston Brown Club. Louttit has been University Archivist since 1938. A student of Brown"s history, he gave to the Library a decade ago a large number of items — 100 or more — about the University and its graduates during its first century. He is an authority on John Hay, 1858. and his collection of Hay items ranks with the best. An execu- tive and partner in several laundry busi- nesses in Providence and Springfield, he serves on the boards of the Industrial Trust Co. and the Title Guarantee Co. He is a member of the Executive Committee of the Providence Public Library and the Roger Williams General Hospital. He has been a Trustee of the Providence Country Day School and the R. I. Infantile Paraly- sis Foundation. A former resident of Cranston, he served on its Community Fund and City Plan Commission. He now lives in West Greenwich, where he has been actively interested in public educa- tion. Brown, partner in the Boston law firm of Hale and Dorr, joins his brother Judge Allyn L. Brown "05 on the Corporation. Their father, Lucius Brown "66, also served as a Trustee from 1908 to 1924. A daughter is a member of the Senior Class at Pembroke. He was President of the Boston Brown Club a year ago and was Chairman of Metropolitan Boston for the Housing and Development Campaign. He is a Trustee of the Massachusetts Memorial Hospitals, President of the Commonwealth Housing Foundation, Vice-President of the Boston Five Cents Savings Bank, Director of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad Co., Fidelity Fund, Inc., and several other investment com- panies and business corporations. He is also a Trustee of a number of charitable organizations in Greater Boston. Faculty Recognition RECENT TRIBUTES to members of the Brown Faculty were cited by Presi- dent Wriston in his October report to the University Corporation: '"It is an unusual occurrence to have two members of the Faculty featured almost simultaneously in national periodicals. The September. 1952, number of Pliiloso- phy and Plieiioiiienological Research, a quarterly journal, is entirely devoted to 'A Symposium in Honor of C. J. Du- casse," in which the first article is written by Professor Arthur E. Murphy, now of Cornell, who was his colleague in Brown; the second is by Professor Charles A. Baylis, Chairman of the Department in Maryland, also a former member of our Faculty: another is by John W. Blyth, who received his Ph.D. at Brown; still another is by Professor Lucius Garvin (1928). who received his A.B., A.M. and Ph.D. degrees here and is now also at the Uni- versity of Maryland: other articles are by Professor Roderick M. Chisholm, present Chairman of the Department, and by Professors Tomas and Taylor of the De- partment. "This symposium is a remarkable trib- ute to the breadth of Dr. Ducasse"s in- terests and his enormous influence upon the work of other philosophers. It is a great pleasure to have him still, though in FOR DUCASSE o symposium a semi-retired status, teaching at Brown, for his zest for scholarly writing is as fresh as ever and his teaching capacity notable. University recognition was recently given to Dr. Ducasse by a complete display of his books and other writings in the lobby of the John Hay Library. '"The monthly magazine, American Artist, for October contains a feature article on Professor Will S. Taylor and, more particularly, his watercolors. The Article emphasizes his 'vigor and fresh- ness of modern outlook applied to sound traditional values' and speaks of "his cre- ative energy ... as buoyant and pro- gressive as that of a youngster.' Professor Taylor completes his active teaching at Mid-Years, and it is pleasant to think that in the last semester of his formal in- struction he gains this recognition for the liveliness and zest which he has carried up to the very end of his University work. "Another manifestation of the vigor and scope of faculty activities is indicated by a report from the Physics Department and particularly that section of it which belongs to the Research and Analysis Group. In the semi-annual meeting of the Acoustical Society, eight different papers ( 10'', of the total program) were read by members of the Brown Physics Depart- ment. In the period from March, 1951, through June, 1952, 21 papers have been read at meetings, 15 articles have been published — this in addition to the tech- nical reports and regular lectures which have been given by staff members. This is one of the many manifestations of the new role of universities in our modern society. "Like activity is shown in Biology, Psy- chology, Chemistry, Engineering, and Applied Mathematics among our science Departments. It is interesting that, at an international conference on Applied Mathematics in Belgium, Brown was the only University from the United States with representatives and that, at the Eighth International Congress on Theo- retical and Applied Mechanics held in Istanbul, there were four members of the Brown Faculty in a group of 90 United States engineers and scientists. All such reports are indicative of the intellectual vigor of our Faculty." DECEMBER 1952 IS There's a Game to CHEER about WHY WRITE ABOUT ANV GAME but the one with Harvard? That's the one which will be remembered when they talk about the 1952 football season at Brown. Probably you were there, fof it was Homecoming Day, of course. If you weren't, you missed it, that's all. Too bad, for it was one of those vastly pleasant afternoons to look back on. As Bill Cunningham said, "Harvard was expected to win by three or four touchdowns. Still Brown's spirit was high, and its alumni were loyal. Both reaped what, under the circumstances, was a tre- mendous dividend." The score, inciden- tally, was 28-21 in Brown's favor. To savor that victory to the full, you do go back over what had happened be- forehand. The team had started the season shorthanded — we won't go into that again. It had shown its inexperience in losing to Yale 28-0 and then dropped a heart- breaker to Rhode Island in the last few minutes 7-6, the second defeat by the Rams in 38 years. Holy Cross rubbed it in 46-0 in a one- sided contest in which the Bears gained more in penalties than they did in rush- ing (65 yards) and completed five out of 17 passes for a mere 80 yards. Twice Brown got good drives going, fumbled once and had a pass intercepted the other time. The Crusaders didn't punt even once, running 297 yards and passing for 116 more. Once the Bruins ignored a kickoff and let it be recovered on the 17. In the second quarter when Holy Cross had racked up its third touchdown. Brown did penetrate to the Purple's 25 but a pass was intercepted and run back to our 8. Later, on the HC 22, four of our passes in a row were fruitless. In the fourth quarter Kessaris tossed to Johnson for 40 yards, but there was a fumble on the next play. Those were the only interludes in the Crusaders' offensive domination, the Bears' linebackers having a busy after- noon. Four fumble recoveries gave the de- fense its only respite. Bursting Balloon A Lanning cartoon the day after the Rutgers game showed the explosion of a balloon labelled "The Season's Best Chance of Victory." For, although Brown took the lead in the first seven minutes, Rutgers' big line found itself thereafter. The Bears still had the edge at the half 7-6 but lost 19-7. Everett Pearson recovered a fumble on his 49 to give Brown its first opportunity. By short gains the Bears travelled down- field, with Woody Baskerville carrying for 16 yards on the key play, a good old- fashioned Statue of Liberty dodge. Kohut made the eventual touchdown from the one-foot threshold. A pass-interference ruling meant 32 vital yards for Rutgers in the second quarter, decidedly contribu- tory to its first score. But Russ Sandblom, a big. fast end, was catching the passes that came his way anyway, and he took his club into the lead in the third period. From that point on. Brown's only bright moments were the defensive stands that took the ball three times on downs, twice within the 10. The Brun.s did little at- tacking once Rutgers learned that there was nothing to be feared overhead and set its defenses principally for running plays. Rutgers caught more of our 19 passes than we did, four against three. "This isn't Brown's year," said a colum- nist, and folks weren't disputing him. Princeton didn't make Brown look any better, romping to four touchdowns in the first quarter and coasting to a 39-0 vic- tory. The 50 men on the Tiger bench all got into the game. In the second period the Bruins reached the Orange and Black 22, thanks principally to a 25-yard pass from Kohut to Baskerville. In the third quarter Kohut's toss to Johnson was a 35- yarder to the 23. Each time the ball was lost on downs. In the final period Brown fumbled on the Tigers' 23 and later threatened enough on the 17 to bring the first string eleven on the field, but the touchdown famine continued. The run of defeats had reached an all-time high for 3 Brown at 11. Some experts were wonder- ing why the Bears bothered to finish out their schedule. An anonymous letter- writer from New York with a flair for misspelling was making life even more miserable for Coach Al Kelley. A Taste of Victory You wondered that the squad had any spirit left. And it looked like another dark afternoon on Nov. 8 when Connecticut took an immediate lead at Brown Field in the very first minute. On the second play, a Bruin back had fumbled on his 21: Panciera promptly hit one of his half- backs with a flat pass for a touchdown. It so happened that Connecticut scored again — two minutes before the end of the game. But in between Brown had scored three times — more than in the previous four games combined. The final was Brown 21, Connecticut 13. The Bruins were a much improved team and seemed to relish the taste of victory. In five plays they marched for 80 yards in the second period, with Haverty making the first of his two touchdowns from 1 1 yards out. Lawrence got the clincher in the last quarter. For the first time Kohut's receivers were hanging onto his passes, and he completed five of 15 for 126 yards. For the first time since the Rhode Island game, the Brunonians had a statistical ad- vantage, with 21 first downs to 13. The bell on U.H. rang merrily and hopefully. But now Harvard was coming up, with one of its better teams. It had won five out of seven games and scored three times against Princeton the previous week. On Thursday the Brown coaches went over the rival line-ups, comparing man for man and conceding that Harvard had the talent Of all the football prophets in the country, only Warren Walden of WJAR- TV gave the Bears a chance. But every psychological edge was with the underdogs. From all over the country came messages of support from the Brown Clubs. The stimulus of the Homecoming atmosphere helped, too, and spirit was high during the week's practices. The pre- vious week the attack had begun to straighten out, and the Sophomores had gained experience the hard way. They were good enough now so that the coaches 14 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY ■dared scrimmage them against some of Ihe ineligibles who were still working out with the squad. Getting the Jump The first touchdown seemed too good to be true. Using a new split-T for the first time this year. Brown broke the ice six plays after the kickofl. After Harvard had matched this tally, the Bears punched out two more in the second quarter for a 21-14 lead at the half. They got their last one in the fourth quarter and held on to win 28-21. It had been conceded that Brown lacked an aerial threat. Kohut proceeded to com- plete eight of 1 1 passes for 137 yards and three touchdowns. They were really catch- ing them for him this time. And he was handling the team like a veteran, too, mix- ing his threats. Kessaris, Pearson, Thomas, and Haverty (until he was hurt) were run- ning at their best, with Bill Klaess and others blocking like mad out in front. The defense was "up," too, and had to be the way Clasby was running for the Crimson. As Kelley told the undergraduates in a victory rally, it was just guts that kept the men in there on top. A sample of the de- fensive spirit was Aldrich's, for on one single play he was blocked to the ground three times but got up each time to make his try. The tackles. Hunt and Borjeson, Charley Brown, backer up, and Ken Lyons, end, covered themselves with glory. If it was the sparkling attack which earned the points, it was the defense which held down the constant threat of Clasby & Co. (Harvard, too, had a surprise weapon in a running attack from a left formation not shown previously this fall. ) Right at the start. Brown had a break against it as Kessaris took a lateral from his 24 to Harvard's 14, only to have an offside penalty nullify it. (A later gain of 60 yards went for naught the same way, but Harvard saw a touchdown run of 80 yards cancelled out in the third period, too.) A 32 yard run by Pearson and a pass from Kohut to Johnson, how- ever, made up the distance to the goal just the same. Ten minutes later Harvard had tied it up on a 70-yard advance, of which Culver's 18-yard end run was the climax. With Borjeson recovering a fumble on Harvard's 23 in the second quarter, the Kohut-Johnson pair put on its touch- down act again. The Brown stands were yelling with each play by now, as the possibility of an upset hit everyone. It seemed even brighter when Pearson raced for 30 yards to Harvard's 25 and, after Kessaris had gained 17 more, went through a good hole in the neighborhood of his left tackle to score. Pendleton was converting each time, a useful habit in view of Monteith's reputation in the same specialty for Harvard. Clasby made it 21- 14 at the half. There were still thrills to come. The Brunonians had a promising march under way in the third period, but Kessaris fumbled after catching a pass on Har- vard's 19. From that spot the Crimson rolled down the field to Brown's 4, only to meet a stone wall. What a cheer the de- fensive unit got when it trotted off the field! It had work to do again in a few minutes, for Harvard threatened again after the next punt. Then, set back from the 34 on one play, O'Neil was hit by three Bruins as he tried to pass, and his fumble was recovered by Aldrich. After Pearson and Thomas had pushed forward to the Harvard 41, Pete Kohut offered his most spectacular feat of the day: The pass from center was hobbled momentarily, but Pete picked up the ball, eluded tacklers to his left, and pitched a perfect strike to Johnson in the end zone. The game was not over, although the clock kept idling along. A fumble re- covered on our 37 kept Harvard in busi- ness. Clasby passed for one touchdown and was gambling for another to tie when time ran out. The new electric scoreboard, contrib- uted by Lewis S. Milner '02, showed 28-21 for Brown — as pretty an initiation as any scoreboard ever had. Al Kelley was carried out on his players' shoulders, and the big Homecoming crowd felt exhausted and jubilant. It is said there was a victory celebration on College Hill that evening. The First in History AT THAT STAGE of the football season when the Varsity was losing to Prince- ton 39-0 and Holy Cross 46-0, it is fair to say that the attention of some Brunonians was divided. More than a few were look- ing at a likely lot of lads who were turn- ing in the first undefeated season in the history of Freshman football at Brown. You could tell that the alumni were al- ready arraying some of the Cubs in Var- sity raiment for 1953, a dangerous but in- evitable form of optimism when you "wait 'til next year." The Freshmen beat Harvard 39-0, Yale 24-7, Cheshire 33-6, Rhode Island 24-6, and Worcester Academy 7-0. The crowd of a couple of thousand which witnessed the last game against Harvard was un- (Continued on page 29) KELLEY and the bench. The players were learn ing the hard way. DECEMBER 1952 15 Brunonians Far and Near EDITED BY DOUGLAS A. SNOW '45 1887 US. Senator Theodore Francis Green . was feted by the Brown Club of Washington on the occasion of his 85th birthday in October. Former Attorney- General J. Howard McGrath was the principal speaker. Others who paid trib- ute to our Classmate included former Korean Ambassador John J. Muccio '21, and e.\-Rhode Island Governors Norman S. Case '08 and Judge Robert E. Quinn '15. Green and McGrath are also former Governors. Earlier, in Providence, Senator Green presented a pair of binoculars to Brown Naval ROTC Midshipman Walter M. Buschman '53 "for excellence in naviga- tion studies." This was the first Senator Green Award. Currently, Senator Green is serving with the U. S. delegation to the U. N. Assembly. 1891 Reporting the death of Dr. Arthur L. Beals the previous day, Chester A. Cook wrote Vice-President Bigelow on Oct. 21: "He was a Delta Phi, my chum all through college, and my roommate in our Senior year. We have been very close to each other all through the years. It is not my custom to send flowers to funerals, and 1 think it would please him better if I gave something in his memory to Old Brown, where we had so much happiness together. Therefore, I send you my check for $50." Beals was a "very straightforward sort of a man," said Cook, "and did not be- lieve in all this soft palaver which has be- come the custom among doctors who cul- tivate the so-called 'bedside manner.' " 1893 Carl V. Tower has notified us of a new address. It is 441 Main St., Collegeville, Pa. 1895 Walter G. Cady wrote in September: "Am very happily settled in Pasadena, California, with my son Bill '27 and his family. Doing research in ultrasonics at Caltech. Address: 3350 Calvert Rd." 1896 "Suffield Academy's Indestructible Smith" — Jesse F., that is — was featured in the Sunday magazine section of the Hartford Courant on Oct. 5. Our Class- mate has been teaching Bible since 1917 at Suffield where he is also alumni re- corder. The "indestructible" title refers to his tussle with a tiger who bit him three times before leaving him for dead. This is a favorite story of the hundreds of boys Jess has hiked and hiked with in Connecticut's hills. He is still going strong, too, having recently completed the blazing of a 10-mile Boy Scout trail through nearby woods. Abram Legrand is retired and living at 1754 Asbury Dr., Pasadena 7, Calif. (For a Brunonian neighbor see 1895 notes.) Building His Gift Albert J. Frohock '00 is pro- viding for a gift to Brown in an unusual way — by making monthly contributions to a building and loan ■issociation. When its shares mature in si.x years, he will have built up a $600 gift to the University, through the Class of 1900 Fund. As a Baptist minister's son, Fro- hock received free tuition. It is this aid which he intends to repay. He is a Certified Public Accountant in Maine. New Jersey, and Pennsyl- vania and spends most of his time in the two first States — at Sanford and Moorestown, respectively. 1897 "The simplest and most inadequate thing you can say about George L. Miner is that he's a retired coal dealer," wrote Winfield T. Scott '31 of our Class Secre- tary. A recent Providence Evening Bul- letin feature elaborated a bit on this state- ment by telling of George's current "proj- ect", a history of the 12 original families of Stonington, Conn. An ancestor of his was one of them. "Like most successfully retired men, George Miner has left one full life for another," the reporter wrote. On the job for 48 years and "still going strong" is Dr. Gregory D. Walcott, Chair- man of the Philosophy Department at Long Island University. Our Classmate plans to teach two more years until he is 85. Then he will retire with half a century of teaching behind him. He was featured by the New York Times this fall in an article that noted he was in his 25th year at Long Island which is only 26 years old. Bill Peck sent Secretary Miner "Greet- ings from 'The Eternal City' " in Septem- ber. He had reached Rome after a tour of England, Holland, Germany, Switzer- land and northern Italy. He crossed on the SS United States and was having "splendid weather." 1901 Ministers make good teachers of Bible classes, in the opinion of J. Herbert Ward of the Plymouth-Union Congregational Church in Providence. He took part in a debate on the subject recently under the auspices of the R. I. Federation of Men's Bible Classes. The other side of the de- bate was taken by ministers, who main- tained that laymen make the better Bible class teachers. Dr. Arthur I. Andrews again took a leading role in the Annual Sessions of the Institute of World Affairs at Warner, N. H. During one meeting devoted to Bulgaria, he showed slides he had taken in that country, as well as other souvenirs he and Mrs. Andrews had brought home from there. Harrison E. Wright of the Bernanls- ville News sent us the clipping himself. It was from upstate New York and told of the death of a Harrison Wright, aged 76, a resident of New Jersey. "Now," says our classmate, "I am Harrison Wright, 76 years of age, and a resident of New Jersey, BUT I am not dead and buried. Is it not unusual that there should be such similarity between two individuals — moreover that the item should fall into the other man's ken?" 1902 After 24 years as Director of the Uni- versity Libraries at Ohio State University, Earl N. Manchester has retired to Day- tona Beach. Fla., where his address is 529 North Oleander Ave. 1903 Edward N. White has sent us his new address, 211 East Lake Sue Ave., Winter Park, Fla. 1905 Fred Broomhead was honored in Oc- tober at a reception at Nayatt for his 25 years' service with the Barrington Nurs- ing Association. He is also serving a two- year term as a Director of the R. I. Tu- berculosis and Health Association. 1906 Dr. Emery M. Porter cherishes a cita- tion from the Narragansett Council, Boy Scouts of America, which presented him with its Capt. George Bucklin "For Merit" Medal: "You have served boys with zeal and interest for 20 years as medical advisor, health examiner, safety chairman, camp inspector, and as director and trustee. Scouting offers you this medal in grateful appreciation." "Harry Knowles of South County is a man who collects shipwrecks," began an article in the Oct. 19 "Rhode Islander", magazine section of the Providence Sun- day Journal. At Homestead Farm where he lives, our Classmate is compiling a list of the ships that have been tossed up on the R. I. shore between Point Judith and Narragansett. His great-grandfather. Hazard Knowles, made note of the first two shipwrecks on Harry's current list of 69. Ben Lindemuth has been enjoying a seven weeks' trip abroad this fall, visiting England, France, Switzerland and Italy. This is just one more illustration of the wisdom that is being exhibited by some of our Classmates in seeing the world before it is too late. An Atlas of Religion Dr. Edwin S. Gaiisiad, former Instructor in the Department of Biblical Literature at Brown Uni- versity, has received a research scholarship of the American Coun- cil of Learned Societies. The schol- arship, which is one awarded to teachers having doctorate degrees in the humanities, will enable Dr. Gaustad to prepare a historical at- las of religion in America. Dr. Gaustad served last year on the Brown faculty and this year, al- though not directly associated with the University, he will continue to do much of his research at Brown. 16 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 1907 Lloyd W. Josselyn not only represented Brown at the inauguration of Russell Jay Humbert as the l?th President of De Pauw University but sent Provost Arnold a lively, detailed account of his day. Those who have seen Josselyn's report on the 4()th reunion will understand what it was like. He concluded: "I thoroughly en- joyed the day; I believe I behaved myself with the correct amount of dignity; and possibly I did a fair job for you and the University." Dr. Arnold called it "one of the best letters I have ever read from any representative after any collegiate func- tion." The William P. Burnhams were back at 131 Storrs Ave., Braintree, Mass., when Bill wrote in mid-October. "We'll stay here until about Thanksgiving time," he said, "and then start South, with Provi- dence the first stop. . . . Tell Shan when you see him that 1 only wish we could have the reunion o<.er again this fall and next spring, too!" Hill speaks of himself as a resident of Maine now that he has retired from French Shriner and Urner. From April 1 until the advent of cold weather each year, he expects to be at Squirrel Island. Me., where the Village Corporation elected him Chairman of the Board of Overseers. .'Kmong his visitors last summer were Herb Keen, Ralph Pal- mer '10, and Tommy Thomas '08, who preached at the Island chapel in August. Your Secretary has begun another year as a member of the Library Committee Ithaca's Monument to Bobbyology CORNELL'S THLJRSTON HALL: The right wing memoriolizes a pioneer. ALREADY IN USE and destined for spring ■ dedication are two new engineering laboratories at Cornell University, com- pleted at a cost of nearly two million dol- lars. The Materials Testing Laboratory has been named for Robert H. Thurston, Brown 1859, inventor and pioneer in engineering education. It contains special equipment and complete facilities for re- search and teaching of fundamental prob- lems in stresses and testing engineering materials and structures. Thurston developed the first four-year course ever offered in mechanical engi- neering in the early days of Stevens Insti- tute of Technology. President White brought him to Cornell to head Sibley College of Mechanical Engineering, where he served as Director from 1885 until his death in 190.3. Writing in the Cornell Alumni News in 1944, Dean De.xter S. Kimball de- scribed Thurston's work. (The companion laboratory, a materials processing lab, is named for Kimball.) He said this of Thurston: "To outline a curriculum was one thing; to supply subject matter, a much more difficult undertaking. Modern textbooks, such as now flood the market, were not to be had. Thurston began to develop his own lectures on strength of materials and the theory of the steam engilie. This, in turn, led him into experimentation which culminated in the formation of the first mechanical laboratory for testing ma- terials and machines. . . . Out of this work came new ideas and data as to the properties of materials, new data on fric- tion and lubrication. In these fields he in- vented new testing machines which were in advance of anything elsewhere. . . . He became known as a leader in his pro- fession, and when the American Society of Mechanical Engineers was organized in 1880, he was unanimously made its first president. "To his students he was 'Bobby,' and his famous course in Thermodynamics which was required of all Seniors in Me- chanical Engineering was always known as 'Bobbyology.' No student who ever went to him for help came away without sound advice." A Cornell University convocation in 1939 celebrated the 100th anniversary of Thurston's birth. Five years ago Cornell received a valuable collection of letters, books, diplomas, and medals which had belonged to Thurston, including a petition from his students in 1894 asking him to give informal talks on his engineering reminiscences. He left to Cornell the home he had built with prize money which he shared as engineering officer on the Civil War gunboat, U. S. Unadilla, when she captured the blockade runner. Prin- cess Royal.

Frank Wetherell Pierce, who died in Banners Flk, N. C, July 24, 1952, was a special student with the Class, entering in 1903 and leaving in 1906. He never took part in any of the Class activities. Shan Clark is serving his 1 5th consecu- tive term as President of the South County Art Association. 1908 Grey H. Wyman has left Mercersburg, Pa., for Hillsboro, N. H. where he lives in Hillsboro Lower Village. The sympathy of Classmates goes to Bill Griffith of Littleton, N. H., whose wife died Sept. 5, 1952, after a long ill- ness. 1909 Lawrence L. Larrabee, now living at 411 Shatto Place, Los Angeles 5 (Larry lived in the same house years ago), re- ports that he is recovering after a second coronary attack that laid him low last June. We know that Larry will be happy to receive postcards or letters from Class- mates and college friends. Classmates join in extending sympathy to Harold B. Tanner who lost his mother, Mrs. Annie T. Dunlop Tanner, in Provi- dence, Sept. 29, 1952. She was the widow of Willard B. Tanner '79. Harold is Brown's new Chancellor. William Davis Miller retired in Octo- ber after more than 20 years as a member of the board of trustees of the Peoples Savings Bank in Providence. His succes- sor is William J. Gilbane '33. Ivory and Mrs. Littlefield celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary in Octo- ber. Johnny Bunker finds that in retirement his half-time job still takes about Vi x 24 hours per day. John has been laid up by a bug which settled "in his left hind foot," but he writes that he is ambulatory. Writing of the late Frank E. (Spike) Dennie, C. E. McBride of the Kansas Cily Star recalled working with him as a football official. McBride had called a safety on a punt play. "What did you see?" said Dennie, the umpire. "The kicker stepped out of bounds," McBride replied, "and I almost missed it." "But you didn't," said Dennie. McBride says, "We've always remembered that morale- lifting comment because it was typical of the man. He was a man of sterling char- acter, positive yet not a bully, knowing fouls that should be called and unafraid. He came to be in demand in the bigger games, and his fellow officials always felt an added degree of safety when IDennie was roaming the umpire's spots." Leon Sittenfield '34 sent us the clipping. 1910 George Caswell wrote us earlier of his plans to move to Florida after the first of December for his 18th season in hotel work there. Frank Mansur left for South Africa the last of October. He is visiting his daughter and her family in Johannesburg and planning to stay until May 1953. 1911 To Hubert D. Tanner goes the sympa- thy of Classmates on the death of his DECEMBER 1952 17 mother, Mrs. Annie T. Dunlop Tanner in Providence, Sept. 29, 1952. Class con- dolences are also in order for Louis S. earmark whose wife, a prominent Provi- dence educator before her retirement a year ago, died Oct. 16, 1952. 1912 John T. Winterich, Contributing Editor on the staff of the Saturday Review, is going to provide the weekly literary quiz in that magazine. He assumes this chal- lenging duty following the death of How- ard Collins. Wiley Marble's daughter, Judith, was married Nov. 1, 1952, to William J. Carr in Albuquerque. 1913 Prof. Walter Snell has been made an honorary Vice-President of the Audubon Society of Rhode Island. He is also Chair- man of the R. I. Dutch Elm Disease Ad- visory Committee. 1914 Kathleen Rae Moffett, younger daugh- ter of William A. Moffett and his wife, was married June 15, 1952, to Wallace G. Hall a 1952 chemical engineering gradu- ate of Michigan State College. The couple are living in Trenton, Mich. Another Class "daughter" who was re- cently married is Audrey Stowe Holding, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert S. Holding. She became the wife of Ens. Donald McLean at services in Central Congregational Church, Providence, Oct. 4, 1952. 1915 A summer letter from Cecil M. P. Cross told of his new venture in South America. He has started a coffee planta- tion in Brazil, where his address is Fa- zenda A Bota, Caixa Postal 58, Ceres, Goias, Brazil. Of the town of Ceres, our Classmate wrote: "It is on the new fron- tier of Central Brazil and possesses one of the best climates and soils to be found in the world. All Brown men will be wel- come visitors, but it would be well to give me a little time to get started." William F. Littlejohn has retired and his new address is 6617 Willston Place, Falls Church, Va. Sidney Clifford is the recipient of a Silver Beaver, awarded "for Distinguished Service to Boyhood" by the National Council, Boy Scouts of America. The ac- companying citation was: "Member of the Board of Directors of Narragansett Council, respected member of the R. I. Bar, honored alumnus and Trustee of Brown University, devoted churchman, you have been the valued legal adviser for Scouting in Rhode Island for a quar- ter-century. Forthright and fearless, you have advanced and strengthened the Scout program by your advice and coun- sel and by your regular, consistent par- ticipation in all our meetings and projects . . . and by your vigorous, crusading spirit." Dr. George W. Waterman is President of the R. I. Cancer Society. 1916 Harold M. Messer was Brown's official representative at the inauguration of Wal- ter C. Langsam as the eighth President Governmental Sabbatic As Director of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and Inter- national Affairs at Princeton, Dr. Dana G. Munro '12 is administer- ing an unusual new program. As the result of a gift of $250,000 from John D. Rockefeller, III, outstand- ing public servants in any branch of the Federal Government will be rewarded with a leave of absence in which to study in this country or abroad. The period of six to 12 months will be at no financial sacri- fice to the recipient. President Truman has said: "The Federal Government would profit a great deal if more of our top offi- cials could afford to take time away from their jobs for further study, research, or travel. This Nation has a great stake not only in attracting the ablest men and women into the public service but also in providing the means for the fullest develop- ment of their abilities while in the service." The Woodrow Wilson School has already been attacking the problem on a smaller scale. In its first three years of operation under Dr. Munro, 38 men completed either a one or two-year course in the grad- uate program. Of these, nine were on leave from government or busi- ness posts to which they returned. of Gettysburg College on Oct. 25. Our Classmate is Associate Professor of Bi- ology at Gettysburg. William A. Graham was elected a member of the Executive Committee of the Rhode Island Bar Association at its recent annual meeting. 1917 To C. Bird Keach goes the sympathy of Classmates on the death of his mother, Mrs. Daisy Bird Keach, in Riverton, N. J., Oct. 15, 1952. 1919 Providence lawyer Arthur J. Levy is Editor-in-Chief of the Rhode Island Bar Journal, new monthly publication of the R. I. Bar Association. English Professor Ben Brown ad- dressed a panel group on "The College Theater in New England" at the first an- nual convention of the N. E. Theater Conference in Boston in October. We're hoping he will be able to reconstruct the talk for publication in this magazine. Dr. Merrill K. Bennett, Executive Di- rector of Stanford's Food Research Insti- tute, spent three months recently in Brit- ish East Africa as one of five members of a study group sponsored by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. James C. Scott is President of the Past Department Commanders Association of Rhode Island, a group of former leaders of veterans organizations. 1921 John J. Muccio, former U. S. Ambas- sador to Korea and currently this coun- try's delegate to the U. N. General As- sembly, spoke in Providence on United Nations Day, Oct. 23. Lauding the role of the Western world in Korea, he called the action over there a pattern rather than an isolated situation. Earlier, our Class- mate was awarded the University of Rhode Island's annual Distinguished Servant Award. Albert E. Lownes is a member of the Regional Jamboree Committee which is arranging New England participation in the Third National Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of America, to be held next sum- mer in California. William T. Brightman, Jr., is a new member of the Board of Deacons of the Central Congregational Church in Provi- dence. Arthur H. Feiner has been named to the Executive Committee of the Rhode Island Bar Association. 1922 Dr. Frank A. Quintard, who served with the Class during the stirring days of the S.A.T.C. and later took his degree at the University of Pennsylvania, has re- tired from the active practice of dentistry in favor of farming at St. Michaels on the Eastern Shore in Maryland. His daughter Sally, having married R. C. Ab- bott, a Yale graduate, is living in Frank's old home town of Stamford, Conn. We know of no more loyal Brown man than S. Watson Remington — of Glen Ridge, N. J. "Beanie", who is with the Great American Indemnity Co. at 95 Maiden Lane, New York City, has been most active in starting and guiding the Eagle Rock Brown Club of which he is an executive committee member. As an eye-witness to the Brown-Rhode Island game, he was, to put it mildly, "disap- pointed". Weren't we all? Our Classmate qualifies in the Grandfather's Club with two entries. "Beanie" may be reached at 37 Herman Street, Glen Ridge. John T. Hackett has moved from the Brown Club to the Hotel Shelton in New York City. Jack, who is Editor of SEE magazine, is peering into the future di- rectly at our 35th Reunion in 1957. We introduce the Classmate we believe to be our leading Grandfather, the Rev. Walter Williams who has four grandchil- dren, evenly divided between boys and girls. Walt, a priest of the Episcopal Church, has been active in that denomi- Christmos Concerts The Annual Christmas Con- cert of the Glee Clubs of Brown and Pembroke will be held on Sun- day, Dec. 14, in Sayles Hall instead of Alumnae Hall this year. As be- fore, an afternoon and an evening performance have been scheduled with reserved seats going to concert series ticket-holders. The equally famous Latin Christmas Carol Serv- ice is scheduled for Dec. 1 1 in the same hall. The Brown Glee Club, under the direction of David Laurent '49, is available for concert appearances under Brown Club auspices. All in- quiries should be addressed to: Brown Qlee Club, Box 1146, Brown University, Providence 12. A spring concert in Hartford is already on the docket. 18 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY nation's national organization and is now Executive Secretary of the Division of Leadership Training in the Department of Christian Education. He is also serv- ing as a member of the Joint Commission on the Revision of the Hymnal and the Joint Commission on the Prayer Book. He has kept up his musical interests, hav- ing been on the Joint Commission on Church Music as well as Dean of the School of Church Music at Evergreen, Colorado. Walt travels extensively but mail will reach him at 28 Haveneyer Place. Greenwich, Conn. James Graham Campbell, who was with our Class as a Freshman and grad- uated, after time out, with 1925, is now District Sales Manager for Clark Brothers Chewing Gum Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa. Graham is in charge of sales operations in New England, New York and Pennsyl- vania. His home is hard by the Yale Bowl at Cheshire, Conn. John F. Quinn, Pawtucket, is doing his bit for Alma Mater. Jack's son, John F. Jr., is a Freshman on the Hill this fall and his next son, Dick, expects to matric- ulate next September. Also in the group of enthusiastic Paw- tucket Classmates is Raymond J. Farrell, head of the department of chemistry at Pawtucket East High School. Since giving up baseball Ray has been doing summer hotel night audits. He lists as his most famous hostelry the now lamented Grand Union at Saratoga. He considers the Black Point Inn at Prout's Neck, Maine, as the most beautiful spot in which he has labored. After considerable experience and honor in both the practice and teaching of accounting, Edwin C. Walmsley is Professor of Accounting at Wayne Uni- versity. Ed has traveled extensively in North, South, and Central America as well as in Europe. When he is at home his extra curricular activities center sea- sonally on the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions, and Detroit Red Wings. Ed is also, like your correspondent, a devotee of soc- cer, a skillful, bruising, universal game little appreciated by most Americans. Another distinguished pedagogue on the Class rolls is Alvin A. Gaffney who is completing his thirtieth year in teaching as principal of the Wixon School in Fall River. Al reports recently seeing Class- mates Art Durfee and Russell Mack. His son, Alvin, Jr., is now in France where he is serving his country in the Army. It appears that Charles T. Lazure may develop into a confirmed bachelor. Not married yet, Charlie, who took his law degree at St. Lawrence, is on the r'aflf of the Corporation Counsel of the City of New York. His home address is 50 West 106th Street, New York. CLARK FORSTALL 1923 Two meetings in connection with the 30th reunion were scheduled to be held in Providence during November. We'll have reports on them next month, Nat Chase assures us. Recent visitors to the campus have in- cluded Ken Sheldon, Chick Beattie, and Lloyd Gallup. Beattie had his family with him, including a son who will be ready for Brown next fall. Gallup renorts a boy in his second year at West Point. Everyone is looking forward to the 30th reunion at the next Commencement. Ronald B. Smith has been named to the Executive Committee of the Rhode Island Bar Association. George F. Thibodcau has moved from Virginia to North i arolina where he is Project Manager for Blythe Bros. Co., in Swansboro. 1924 H. Bechtel Smith is a Vice-President and partner of Kicswetter Associates, Inc., New York City. He was formerly Vice-President in charge of advertising and sales of Royal Lace Paper Works, Inc., Brooklyn. S. Everett Wilkins has been selected to head the $150,000 campaign of the Provi- dence Country Day School. The doubling of enrollment in the last 25 years has made necessary new classrooms and added study and assembly hall space. KUDNER AGENCY, Inc., has named Martin B. Rice '25 as o Vice-President. He will con- tinue in the Detroit office as service man on the Buick account for this advertising house. Clarence Chaffee uses heavy doses of psychology in his coaching, according to an article in the Williams Alumni Review. While one boy will best respond to steady needling, another needs to have his con- fidence built up. One of his most success- ful devices, says a tennis star he devel- oped, is to make you concentrate on win- ning the next point — not to worry about the set as a whole. Chaffee handles soc- cer, squash, and tennis. He was a recent Providence visitor when his soccer team and Brown played a 1-1 tie. Carlton Bliss is a Director of the North Attleboro, Mass., YMCA. 1925 An unsigned airmail postcard arrived recently from overseas bearing the following message: "Classmates from Brown meet in the Oily, France Opera- tions office of MATS. Pat Kenny and Ty Morhouse ran into each other at Orly last Sunday, the 28th of Sept. Pat was en route to Weisbaden and Ty was going back to the London area — both had spent the weekend in Paris and both were in the Class of 1925. The former hopes to be back at Brown shortly, but Morhouse has three years of overseas duty to do before coming back to tne States." "Pat," of course, is Col. Robert W. Kenny, Dean of the College at Brown before his recall to service with Military Intelligence. "Ty" is Col. Charles H. Morhouse of aviation medicine renown. William C. Waring, Jr., formerly as- sistant to the President of Textron, is President of the Atlantic Parachute Cor- poration, an affiliate. 1926 H. Cushman Anthony will be the leader of the Rhode Island delegation to next summer's Boy Scout Jamboree in California. Gus is observing the 25th an- niversary of his service as an Executive on the staff of the Narragansett Council, with headquarters in Providence. Howard G. Lewis, Principal of the Brigham Junior High School in Provi- dence, is also Commander of Providence Post, American Legion. Noel M. Field is a Director of the American Screw Co. of Willimantic, Conn. Dick Bailey, son of Percy L. Bailey, Jr., has entered Governor Dummer Acad- emy and won a berth on the soccer team this fall. He was captain of this sport at Eaglebrook School, from which he was graduated last June. He'd also been co- captain of hockey and Chairman of the Athletic Committee. In the meantime, the father "plugs along as Director of the Bi- ology Department in the Evening Divi- sion of the School of General Studies at the City College of New York and uses some of his spare time as organist of the Presbyterian Church in Tenafly." Dana R. Arnold is a new Trustee of the Mary C. Wheeler School in Providence. Dave Stackhouse is a busy man these days. As Vice-President of Television As- sociates of Rhode Island, Inc., he has just filod application for a TV station in Providence. The organization is raising its capital by selling shares to the general public of Rhode Island, a plan which is unique in the industry. Besides that, Dave's own company, Stackhouse Games, Inc., has entered the novelty fields with a new line of adult and juvenile proprie- tary games. The company's first item, a patented cribbage board that prevents mistakes in scoring, is already on sale at F. A. O. Schwarz in New York City. The board is Dave's invention. Carl A.

The Edwards Minerals The Department of Geology received in May the first installment of the Stafjoni C. Edwards collec- tion of minerals and is expecting to receive more as the labeling is con- tinued by Mrs. Stafford C. Edwards. Mr. Edwards graduated from Brown in 1895 and was for many years a teacher in California. He died in 1947. He traveled widely and collected unusual mineral speci- mens on his trips, especially in the Rocky Mountains and other western areas. The collection eventually in- cluded three or four hundred speci- mens, both of natural crystals and polished pieces. He did his own polishing. The.se specimens gave him a great deal of pleasure as me- mentoes of his trips and he took great pride in showing them to his friends. The quality of the natural minerals and the excellence of the polish indicate that Mr. Edwards was a man of discriminating taste and fine skill.

At Home on the Ice It sometimes gets as cold as 35 degrees below zero, it floats all over the Arctic Ocean, and it has the unromantic name of T-3, but it's home to Robert D. Cotell '42. A geophysicist employed by the Cambridge ( Mass. ) Research Lab- oratories of the U. S. Air Force, Cotell returned in June after 80 days "aboard" the ice island about 100 miles from the North Pole. As one of a group of nine men who set up this first outpost of continuous in- formation on polar weather, Cotell investigated the physical make-up of the centuries-old glacier formed originally in the mountains of Greenland. T-3 is about 10 miles long, five miles wide and 200 feet thick. The weather is comparable in dryness to that of New Mexico. No one gets sick on T-3 — that is, unless someone from the States brings a cold and spreads it around. A First Lieutenant in the Signal Corps during World War II, Cotell was planning a return assignment on T-3. Meanwhile, the colleagues he left behind are keeping every- thing "on ice" for him. 24 BRO'WN ALUMNI MONTHLY On Fire Each Noon Every day at noon for a week Walter Covell '38 had a fire in his house. Right on Exchange Place in Providence, too. He was a member of a nice but careless family of three which ac- cidentally set the little building ablaze, bringing out the Fire De- partment to put it out. It was all in the interests of Fire Prevention Week, and Covell (professionally known on TV as the Man of 1001 Faces) played the part of Henry, head of the Had-a-Fire family. One day he dropped a cigarette into a wastebasket, another day he overloaded the lighting circuit, again he played with matches. The Had-a-Fire family was in- troduced to the public on the first day of Fire Prevention Week when the Mayor was reading a proclama- tion from the City Hall steps. They interrupted by hailing him from the roof of the Woolworth Building nearby. Firemen swung an aerial ladder over that way to bring them down to plead for a chance to stay in town. They were given a week's probation as occupants in the little house on the Mall, where punctu- ally they "had a fire" each day. 1949 William R.

A successful Scout leader while he was an undergraduate, with a particular flair for Indian lore, Mink plans to go into Scouting professionally after his military service is over. In the mean time, the Army has given him the ideal job: When he was assigned to Augs- burg, Germany, with the 43rd Di- vision, Mink was given the job of running a Scout troop for the chil- dren of Army personnel.

As Conceded In "Time" A COUPLE OF PEOPLE did some- thing about Time's failure to iden- tify Brown as an Ivy League college in its survey-book of American alumni. One was a Brown Daily Herald writer, who said: "Where does young (1923) upstartish Time get off snubbing old ( 1764) historic Brown University?" The other chap was Lewis A. Shaw "48 of Spring- field, Mass. He used the Herald editorial as fresh autumn ammuni- tion in his running campaign. It reached the right desk — that of James A. Linen, Publisher of Time. Early in November he said in one of his periodical letters to the readers: "When I wrote you last spring about Time's book 'They Went to College,' I may have indicated that it was the last word on the U. S. college graduate. Now it appears that the book is, in one respect at least, only the second-last word. The book (and Time's review of it as well) called Brown University one of '20 famous Eastern colleges,' failed to include it as a member of the Ivy League. Brown is in the Ivy League, and the editors of the Brown Daily Herald have now had the last word." As of Sept. 15, Norman J. Rustigian was receiving mail at La Congregation de Notre-Dame de Siou, L'Universite de Louvain, Louvain, Belgium. Manager of the California office of the Firemen's Mutual Insurance Co., Bruce M.

DECEMBER 1952 31 "YOUTH'S FLEETING HOURS" The Seniors Are Filming Theirs FILM JURY: Members of the 1953 movie committee look over the first rushes: Left to right, Martin Molinou, photographer, Bert Aman, Chuck Colson, Vice-President Bruce M. Bigelow, and Dove Busing. By C. BERT AMANN '53 Brown's Class of 1953 will have a price- less movie record of its Senior year, thanks to the enterprise of a Class com- mittee which will produce its own film. Actually, the project began last March with the Junior Prom when the camera caught many members of the Class dur- ing the festivities. The record continued through the rushing season, the Spring Weekend, the Dedication of the Quad- rangle, and the graduation of 1952. Pro- duction resumed after the summer holi- days, starling with Freshman Week. Co- Chairmen Charles Colson and Dave Busing, as directors, will attempt to in- clude in the final film every phase of col- lege life, both academic and extracurricu- lar. It is expected that copies of the film will be distributed to Brown Clubs throughout the country. The film, which will be done in black and white with full narration and musical background, will also be available to interested alumni everywhere in the nation. The producers also expect that the admissions and publicity offices will take full advantage of the movie in their work. The main idea behind the project, however, is to use the film for class of "53 functions, including reunions and to leave with the University a live story of the Class' Senior year. The movie is being un- dertaken in addition to the Class gift. Martin Malinou, a professional pho- tographer in Providence, who is this year a Sophomore at Brown, won the contract for the project and will work with Busing and Colson on the film. The producers have set up shop in the basement of Faunce House in the former Book Store office. Work will be coordinated there be- tween members of the Class, the photog- raphers and the project committee. Bert Amann "53 will direct publicity for the film throughout production, and Paul Goldman, President of the class, will co- ordinate the aims of the project committee with the "53 Class Council. Early rushes looked promising in the experimental preliminary period. The final editing will, of course, select only the best shots from what is obviously and in- tentionally too much footage. The Uni- versity Administration, especially Vice- president Bigelow, has shown a good deal of interest in the project and has offered its complete cooperation in the work, al- though the film will be produced entirely by members of the undergraduate body and will not be a University program. The film is being financed through the Class of '53 treasury. If it is at all possible, the directors of the movie hope to include every 1953 man in the film. They also hope that the film will be received enthusiastically by all the alumni. Subscription to it by the alumni would be greatly appreciated, not only by the producers, but by the Class itself. Furthermore the producers would wel- come any criticisms or advice from the alumni concerning the whole project or any specific phase of it. Cards or letters may be addressed to the "53 Movie Proj- ect, Faunce House. Best in New England "'MoLiNEUx First But Bears Lose" was almost a standard headline for reports of Varsity cross country meets this season. Capt. Walt Molineux '53, Brown's record- smasher in winter and spring track, was also star of the over-hill-and-dale squad. In three of the five fall meets, he came in first. He took the New England indi- vidual title in his last and best undergrad- uate race as a harrier. Team strength has not proved deep enough to exploit any of Molineux' per- formances, however. Bill Reid '54 was fourth against Rhode Island and sixth in the Providence College contest, but neither showing was able to produce a team victory. The respective final scores: 23-38 and 21-39. In a triangular meet, Brown defeated Holy Cross, 52-60, and lost to M.I.T., 22-52. Molineux was bothered by stomach cramps and could do no better than 19th. Simultaneously, a dual meet with Boston University was won by the hub team, 19- 42, in spite of Reid's second place. At the Heptagonals in New York, Molineux came in fourth and Reid 24th to rank Brown seventh among ten competing squads. Princeton, Columbia and Penn- sylvania trailed the Bears. In the New Englands Molineux led the field of 111 runners, but Bill Reid, who led the pack in its early stages, was the only other Brunonian with a low score — 13th. The team placed 10th among the 16 entries. The Freshmen were fifth in their division, led by Charlie Flather (10th) and Bob Holton (1 1th), their most consistent competitors all season. The Cubs won one dual meet, downing Rhode Island 26-31. 32 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Westchester Men to Meet ALL Brown Alumni of New '^'ork's Westchester County are cordially in- vited to attend a social evening to be held at the Greenville Community Church House. 580 Central Avenue.

FLOWER '35 Anniversary Ahead Looking ahead to its 50th anniversary, the Connecticut Valley Brown Club took a short and agreeable course in alumni responsibilities from two visitors from the campus Oct. 17. Emery R. Walker, Jr., '39, Dean of Admission, described the role alumni are playing in the admission program and showed color pictures of College Hill today. Chesley Worthington '23, Editor of the Alumni Monthly, com- pared Brown's alumni activity with that in other colleges he encountered during his recent term as President of the Ameri- can Alumni Council. Blake's Restaurant in Springfield, Mass., was the scene of the well-attended meeting. The Club was first organized on Feb. 27, 1903, and a special anniversary pro- gram is being arranged by the present officers. Dr. William C. Hill '94, a charter member of the Club, was among those attending the recent gathering. President William C. Giles, Jr., '42 and Secretarv The Brown Clubs Report Standing Invitations Brown Clubs in several cities are scheduling weekly or monthly meetings on regular days again this year. All alumni, resident or tran- sient in the area, are invited to join without formality at these affairs. Boston, luncheon second Tues- day of the month, Thompson's Spa, 239 Washington St., 12:30 p.m. New York, luncheon third Tues- day of the month, club quarters, 39 E. 39th St., noon. Philadelphia, luncheon second Thursday of the month, Princeton Club, 1223 Locust St., noon. Similar information from other Clubs will be welcome. You Can Hear the Choir The Brown Chapel Choir will again broadcast a program in this year's College C hoir and Glee Club series of the Mutual Broadcasting System. The date for the broadcast in the East is Sunday, Dec. 28, and the time is noon to 12:30 p.m. Since Mutual stations in the Mid- West and West sometimes carry such programs as this at a later date, alumni in these regions are advised to check local stations for the e.\act time and day when the program will be carried. Prof. Wil- liam Dinneen of the music depart- ment will again direct the choir in a varied and stimulating program of sacred music. Last year, the Brown broadcast was considered one of the best in the series, not only by Brown men but also bv Mutual officials. Lewis A. Shaw '48 took turns presiding. Several promising secondary school stu- dents from the area, as well as a few parents of undergraduates, were among the guests. Scholarship Chairman Ralph A. Arm- strong '17 announced that George W. Easton '56 had been chosen from a large number of eligibles to receive the first Connecticut Valley Brown Club Scholar- ship. Officers serving this year, in addition to Giles and Shaw, are: Vice-President Sam- uel L. Thompson, Jr., '44. Treasurer John W. Byam '36, and Directors Arm- strong, Hill, Samuel Blassberg '46, Henry W. Hayes '42, and Walter H. Mitchell '00. "Kappy" in Manhattan The lighter side of University teach- ing was stressed before the New York Brown Club members when Prof. L J. Kapstein spoke at their Faculty Night in October. "Students I Have Known" was "Kappy's" topic for the evening, and his humorous accounting of the undergrad- uate intellect provided plenty of laughs for the group of appro,\imately 60 mem- bers and wives. A reception for Kappy and Mrs. Kapstein was held before din- ner at the Club's quarters. On the eve of the Princeton game, Oct. 31, the Club arranged a sport dance and beer party for members and other Bru- nonians in town for the weekend. Monthly luncheon meetings are being held as last year on the third Tuesday in the Landon Room at 12:15. Ed Sulzberger '29 is Chairman of the .Activities Committee this year. Pittsburgh's Holiday Plans On the program committee for the Brown Club of Western Pennsylvania are Chairman Lee S. McLeod '15, Christo- pher Gunderson '27 and George P. Saw- yer '40. Tentative plans have been made for a get-together over the Christmas holidays to include Pittsburgh area un- dergraduates and possibly their fathers. Tucson's Visitor The Brown Club of Tucson met Oct. 26 to make plans for the visit in January of University Provost Samuel T. Arnold '13. Charlie Towne '97, Bradford "Bud" Moore '19 and Lou Farber '29 were ap- pointed by President Bob Locke '24 as a committee to arrange a dinner for all Arizona alumni and their wives plus Pem- brokers and their husbands. In prospect, it looks like the biggest gathering that Southwest Brunonians have enjoyed in a long time. At the same meeting. President Locke and Secretary Farber were given a "vote of confidence" to remain in office until March elections. In attendance were: Dr. Henrv G. .Mha '27, Farber, Dr. Milton Goldberger '24, Richard Hilkert "52, Warren Jewett '52, Locke, Burnett C. Meyer "45. Moore. Jack I. Podret '39, Joseph H.

LOU farber '29 Hartford's Sondoff Once more Hartford gave its annual bon voyage dinner to the Freshmen froin this area. More than 40 were at the Uni- versity Club, including eight of 10 men from the area going to Brown this year. The date was Wednesday, Sept. 3. Jack Montgomery, our new president, gave us all an outline of his plans for the coming year, and made a very fine im- pression in doing so. Emery Walker did an outstanding job in his talk to the Freshmen and to us, and many a favorable comment was heard of his talk during the evening. The excellent slides thrown on the screen took us back over the years, and also brought us up to date on the latest changes. A most en- joyable evening! Here are those attending: Paul Mon- ahan '31, Bill Robotham '25, Frank Jones '97, Dan Howard '93 (how faithful these 2 have been through the years), Francis Enslin '25, Henry Hayes '42 (Spring- field), Lew Shaw '48 (Springfield), Stuart Tinkham '23, Hawley Judd '45, Burt Lov- ell '28, Harold McKay '18, Larry Smith "20, Bob Hartigan '37, John Chafee '18, Cy Flanders '18, Bob Allison '29, Jack Montgomery '38, Emery Walker '39, Ralph Walker '35, Wally Henshaw '23, Paul McKay '56 (son of Harold McKay '18), Bruce Hunting '56, Bruce Lovell "56 (son of Bruce Lovell '28), Paul Hatch '56, Harold Madison '31.

He said, among other things, that the editors cf this magazine "evidently are considerably exercised over the matter, for they devote almost a quarter of their magazine to its re- cital. . . . Maybe Brown did go a little overboard, but at least it was sincere in the manner in which it handled the matter." For Korean Christmases Practical gifts are what Ameri- can soldiers in Korea want for Christmas, according to Capt. Owen J. Carroll '50.
