The girl was Barbara Ham, surely one of the greatest of all Brownbrokers — director, choreographer, first dancer, and president, in addition to being Phi Beta Kappa. Today she's Mrs. Aubrey Raymond (he's also 1941). Her dancing partner was Arthur H. Bijur '41. He was killed on Luzon four years later, a Signal Corps Cap- tain who was awarded a posthumous Silver Star. He'd left his foxhole to try to extricate his men before they were bracketed by Japanese artillery fire. Misjudged bears . . . WE READ with appropriate Brunonian interest when Herbert Wendt, in his Doubleday book "The Road to Man," turned his attention to the bear. In the author's opinion, the bear is the "most misjudged of all the animals with which man has much to do." We were particu- larly satisfied with the following passage: "The brown bear has a strong individual consciousness. He is really far superior in intelligence to the more tractable lions and tigers, and he is in the habit of im- provising continually instead of imitating." Perhaps we should leave quoting with that, but candor compels us to note that the next sentence about the brown bear is this one: "In a mixed group he is the biggest disturber of the peace." At any rate. Wendt regards Bruin as 'one of the most interesting creatures on earth." "Man has realized this repeatedly in the course of history," he writes. "Bear worship and bear fetishes existed and still exist among several North .American and Siberian peoples. " ► SOMEONE from NBC was calling Emory University and asked for the Library. "Hold the line," said the New York oper- ator, "I have a party who wants to speak with the person in charge of the Civil War." y IN HIS ANNUAL REPORT, an "Eastern" col- lege president noted that female rats used in research cost twice as much as they did in 1950, while male rats cost 93% more. He observed parenthetically that "the rea- sons for the sex difference are obscure to me." The alumnus who clipped the item for us underlined the comment: "They're obscure to us, too." ► THE PLANETARIUM MANAGER at the Uni- versity of North Carolina set up a special show at Commencement time called "End of the World." Then he sent out a press release which began: "Because of the re- ^m BROWN BEAR: "Far superior." ligious tenor of 'End of the World,' min- isters of all faiths and races will be ad- mitted henceforth to the Morehead Plan- etarium without charge." > BROWN UNIVERSITY got its name, of course, as the result of an ancient gift of $5000 from Nicholas Brown. So much for background before recording a feeble mot the morning after the University re- ceived the wonderful gift of $500,000 for the auditorium and skating rink at Aldrich- Dexter Field. Someone remarked that if George V. Meehan, who established the Meehan Foundation, had been around a couple of centuries earlier, our institution might be known as Meehan U. ^ FACULTY SMALL FRY burst in and out of Dad's office, says the Williams Alumni Re- view, and left saying, "See you later, we're going to see the 'pickle people.' " Then they scurrried to the Biology Lab to examine the preserved embryos on display there. Trigger happiness . . . > VISITING A COLLEAGUE in the Middle West, one of our Brown Professors knew that his host enjoyed an opportunity to talk about his extensive foreign travel. On this occasion, the latter was encour- aged to tell a few anecdotes about big- game hunting, in which his wife had shown herself avid and able. The guest pointed to a tiger rug on the floor. "Mary shoot that?" he asked. "Frequently!" was the answer. > ALTHOUGH We knew very well where St. John's University is located in Jamaica. N. Y., we hadn't had its site pinpointed so well until we saw its letterhead recently. And what an address for a university: "Grand Central and Utopia Parkways. " > THE VARSITY GRADUATE of the Univer- sity of Toronto had a reporter within ear- shot of a group of three co-eds and heard this fragment of conversation: "1 didn't come to the University to find a husband; I came here to prepare for one." > A YOUNG ALUMNUS was Complimenting us (he thought) when he told why he was enjoying the Alumni Monthly: "You are printing good features and articles," he said, "instead of a lot of facts." > we've never HEARD the songs of Ohio University, but one was quoted in a recent issue of Tlie Ohio Alumnus. While we cannot condone an historical error in it, it's nice to be mentioned: "Oh, the East may sing the praises Of Yale and Harvard, too; Roger Williams in a fit of despair Founded Old Brown U. Princeton came by way of Nassau, So did Dartmouth, too; But Ohio's up and doing When old father Thomas Ewing Gave three cheers for Old O U." Rocking the boat . , , > THE EDITOR of the Arkansas Alumnus was prompted to write recently about dangers of determining policy on the basis of public relations rather than principle. It was a splendid statement, and it in- cluded these words: "In the face of fears about 'public rela- tions,' it is refreshing to hear the words of Dr. Barnaby C. Keeney, President of Brown University, one of America's finest private institutions: "A university that is serving its purpose well is a very hard thing to live with, for in their inquiries the faculty and the students may turn light on things that you wish to leave in dark- ness; they will stir the waters; they will rock the boat.' " > HARVARD IN EPIGRAM in the Harvard Alumni Bulletin also included a quote from "Barnaby C. Keeney, Ph.D. '39": "If I were concerned about adolescent sub- versives, which 1 am not. I would require them to attend universities rather than seek to prevent them." > WHILE WERE QUOTING, We might slip in the remark of Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn '93 used with approval by William G. Sal- tonstall at the last Exeter Commencement: "A Freshman is a student who still ex- pects something to happen to him." > PROOF AND reproof: Lines on receiv- ing a clipping from this magazine on which some reader had underlined in red our reference to Convocation "colloquys." Sometimes when we read proof, We goof. BUSTER ^Somethin' Bruin' Began It All; x\nd Brownbrokers Are Still at It By LESLIE ALLEN JONES '26 BOY, GIRL, AND MOON were going strong in 1946. BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY A BROWNBROKERS CHORUS LINE in 1944. Note also two musicians at the right in Navy uniform-with sleeves rolled DOWN. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Nelson B. Jones, Manager of Faunce House, asked me if I'd come into his office. We were not related but had been undergraduates at the same time, and he knew of my background in the professional theater. "Some students of Brown and Pembroke want to stage an original musical revue," he said. "We need you to sort of run things and see that they don't drop sandbags on each other — and keep the peace between them and Sock and Buskin. Are you available?" I was. On May 9, 1935, we weren't exactly ready, but, with the first performance coming next night, we had to have a dress rehearsal. By that time I was 15 pounds lighter in weight and a veteran of many a long night spent more in peacemaking than rehearsal. That first show, "Somethin' Bruin," was a revue with 23 numbers — with at least one director for each skit, and generally more. Perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised when we reached the last scene, but I shall always remember the sheepish director, who said: "But we never got this far before — we haven't any finale." We had one, and most successful, especially when Prof. Jerry Botsford, the Faculty advisor, joined it on opening night. Brownbrokers had been launched. Remembering Some of the Stars Who would have thought we'd still be at it 25 years later and about to celebrate such a venerable anniversary? Some of the shows have been first-rate, some run-of-the-mill, but I think Brownbrokers have provided one of the better cultural experiences on the Campus as the students continue to write, direct, stage, and perform their own original musical produc- tions each spring. The I960 show is already in the works. Twenty-five years of Brownbrokers, with an average cast and crew of more than a hundred — that makes a lot of dancing feet, boy-girl duos, singers, and comedians to re- member. But I recall those pioneers of 1935, especially the 20-odd directors who fought the good fight for things as they saw them. There was never a dull moment. The program for "Somethin' Bruin" listed everyone as part of a baseball team. That idea was born at 2 o'clock in the morning in a dressing room as a means of settling the argument of who should be first. Burton Shevelove later turned professional and is a Broadway director with television credits. Those who saw his "Small Wonder" suspect that this was closest of all to his heart. Another pro is George Eckert, who recently staged "Damn Yankees" in Australia. Wally Goetz, son of a theatrical man, combined with Sheve- love in several numbers. Carolyn Troy sang her own com- position, "Patch Up My Heart" in the first show. It was bought by a local orchestra leader who used it as his theme song. No other Brownbroker song can claim that distinction, although others survived their shows and a few writers turned up in Hollywood. Polly Moxley, Amalie Coon. Edna and Ruth Goldstein were the first of the "Smoother Element," tall and beautiful girls who crossed the stage with dignity and announced numbers, setting a precedent that was to last for many years. When you are young, all things are sharply black and white; there are no middle shades of gray. I say this by way of explanation for Sock and Buskin's original attitude toward Brownbrokers. The dramatic society was mistaken in thinking the theater in Faunce House was its exclusive property. Sock and Buskin men tried to lock away the border lights so that FEBRU.4RY I960 this upstart group could not have them. 1 was able to prevent this. In the end, of course, Sock and Buskin could not hide its interest, and it was a Sock and Buskin stage crew which worked backstage for the first two performances. May 10 and May 11. Personal friends of mine, old Sock and Buskin alumni, provided the technical skill needed; Paul Manchester. who designed and built the theater's switchboard, and Ken- neth Harlowe, who was to stage so many Sock and Buskin Alumni Shows with me. .4 II Unforgettable Dress Rehearsal We had two packed and cheering houses, but the best show was the night of dress rehearsal, and the way of that was this: Most rehearsals had turned into long arguments among the directors, while the cast waited patiently in the seats of the house. On dress-rehearsal night, I took over in self-defense. I threw everybody off stage, called the orchestra, and gave the signal for the first number. It played. To the surprise of the cast, the second number followed without delay. All went well with the first act until Paul Manchester. running the arc light from the booth, flashed his spotlight to stage right on a dark stage. My stage manager walked into the ring of light. "Paul, you're off. You're supposed to be stage left." "Not by my cue sheet." "Change it. You're supposed to follow her . . ." The spot swung over, and then Paul stuck his head out of the booth window and got the biggest laugh of the night. "Yeah, man," he shouted. "I'd follow her anywhere!" I remember her — it was Melanie Schroder, very pert and pretty member of the chorus. Bob McLeod had a pinwheel dance number to be done in the dark with ultra-violet light. It was completely broken on dress-rehearsal night when the electrician missed his cue and opened with a brilliant white spotlight that revealed countless dismayed Pembrokers in long Johns with painted stripes on arms and legs. So we worked through the first act and came to the second. I was out in the house when the curtain rose to reveal a tear- ful Carolyn Troy at the piano. She bravely tried to do her number while three directors kept trying to push the piano in opposite directions. I threw them all off the stage. Despite the black looks, we continued and reached the final number and the dilemma mentioned earlier. By the way, when we looked through the Brownbroker souvenirs, there were no photos from that first show of 1935. Can anyone enrich our archives by taking care of this omission? They Had To Come Back to Earth I supervised the first three years of Brownbrokers and was unable to be present again until 1942. So from 1938 to '41 they waxed fat and no one supervised them, for they were fiercely independent. Very grand they were, with a canopy out front, a uniformed doorman, and an orchestra in the pit that grew so large and so loud that nobody could hear what went on behind the footlights. They made enough money at first to give a scholarship to the University, but the tail was soon wagging the dog. Their last show before the war lost money, and too many people connected with it flunked out. No wonder that, by the time I joined the Faculty in 1942, the Faculty took a dim view of Brownbrokers. I received permission from the University to produce a Brownbroker show, provided production time was kept down to a month. The Brownbroker student board rejected me haughtily: no one could do a show in less than a school year. So-oo, I gathered up some actors from Sock and Buskin and put on a successful vaudeville revue "A Night at B. F. Keith's." Brownbrokers saw the light and came back into production (Continued on page 10) COSTUMES were no problem in this Navy show by Brownbrokers. The men were wearing uniforms onyway. BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY CIRCULAR STRUCTURE, shown in tentative sketch, will bear the name of George V. Meehon. Auditorium-Rink Assured by Meehan Foundation Gift You COULD PUT two and two together. As the President said, it obviously had something to do with hockey; you could tell that from the group that was gathered at the home of Foster B. Davis, Jr., "39 in Providence. When Davis had invited the 30 men, he had promised that Dr. Keeney would have an announcement to make, and it was not long in coming after the company had assembled. "A gentleman called me up at home the other night," Dr. Keeney said. "He asked me if it would be all right if he gave Brown University half a million dollars for the rink on Al- drich-Dexter Field." A cheer went up from the group. "What did you tell him?" someone inquired. That night, Dec. 22, the news was on the radio and tele- vision stations; the morning papers carried more comprehen- sive details, based on the University's release, identifying the source of the benefaction — the Meehan Foundation. It is a family trust, established by George V. Meehan, Providence business executive and father of David J. Meehan '48. The $500,000 gift, added to funds previously contributed, assures early realization of the project to provide a combination audi- torium and skating arena for the University. "My guess is we'll start this spring," President Keeney said to the group at the Davis house. "Plans have been studied by our committee for some time, and there are working draw- ings for much of the early construction. While we will prob- ably still be short some of the money needed, I'm confident we'll get it the way the Bicentennial Program is starting off." The building committee met the next day. The structure, which will cost an estimated $800,000, is one of the component projects of the Brown Bicentennial Development Program, along with a new library, a Physical Sciences Engineering group, a Pembroke dormitory quad- rangle, and the renovated Hope College. Located at the corner of Lloyd Ave. and Hope St. at the northwest end of Aldrich-Dexter Field, the skating arena-auditorium will be the first new building on this 38-acre property acquired by the University from the City of Providence. Tentative plans, as drawn by Robert Dean of the architec- tural firm of Perry, Shaw, Hepburn, and Dean, provide for a perfectly circular building about 240 feet in diameter. Laminated wood supports arch inward from the exterior wall to hold up the domed roof, leaving the interior space unob- structed by pillars. The ice rink will be 200 feet long and 85 feet wide, with banked stands on both sides. The latter will accommodate between 2500 and 3000 spectators. When the building is used as an auditorium, with folding chairs set up in the rink area, the seating capacity will be increased to about 5000. The plans call for two warming rooms, one on either side of the east end of the rink. Dressing rooms and lockers will be in an existing structure — used as an infirmary before Brown acquired the property — to which the arena-auditorium will be tied. At present, a high stone wall surrounds Aldrich- Dexter Field. A section of the wall at the Hope Street-Lloyd Avenue corner may be torn down to afford an unobstructed view of the new building and to permit the widening of the street intersection at that point. Dr. Keeney said he was sure news of the Meehan Founda- tion gift would be welcomed by the many alumni and friends (Continued on page 17) FEBRUARY 1960 STUDENTS AND WEDLOCK By MARCxARET MEAD Anthropologist Margaret Mead, America's best- knowti woman scientist, is a trenchant observer of native cultures at home and abroad. A Brown audi- ence during the University Convocation had a clunice to savor her rare quality. Her travels and studies have led Dr. Mead to make some forlliright criticisms of education, sex, mar- riage, and child-rearing iyi the U.S.A. Below, she takes a look at a new cultural pattern in college life— and she doesn't like what she sees. Dr. Mead is President of the American Anthrofio- logical Association. In addition to museum duties and leaching, she found time recently to write Iter nth book and this article for alumni magazines linked ivith the "Moonshootei" group. In it, she appraises a grooving campus trend and ansivers the (juestiun: Is College Compatible with Marriage'^ ALL OVER the United States, undergraduate marriages are in- . creasing. You find them not only in the municipal col- leges and technical schools, which take for granted a work- aday world in which learning is mostly training to make a living, but also on the green campuses once sacred to a more leisurely pursuit of knowledge. Before we become too heavily committed to this trend, it may be wise to pause and question why it has developed, what it means, and whether it endangers the value of under- graduate education as we have known it. The full-time college, in which a student is free for four years to continue the education begun in earlier years, is only one form of higher education. Technical schools, non-resi- dence municipal colleges, junior colleges, extension schools which offer preparation for professional work on a part-time and indefinitely extended basis, institutions which welcome adults for a single course at any age — all of these are "higher," or at least "later," education. Their proliferation has tended to obscure our view of the college itself and what it means. Copyrigfil i9hll. Editorial Projects for Eduraliori. Inc. All rights reservrd. But the university, as it is called in Europe — the college, as it is often called here — is essentially quite different from "higher education" that is only later, or more, education. It is, in many ways, a prolongation of the freedom of childhood: it can come only once in a lifetime and at a definite stage of development, after the immediate trials of puberty and be- fore the responsibilities of full adulthood. The Moratorium They .Accept The university student is a unique development of our kind of civilization, and a special pattern is set for those who have the ability and the will to devote four years to explor- ing the civilization of which they are a part. This self-selected group (and any other method than self-selection is doomed to failure) does not include all of the most able, the most skilled, or the most gifted in our society. It includes, rather, those who are willing to accept four more years of an intellec- tual and psychological moratorium. In this period they ex- plore, test, meditate, discuss, passionately espouse, and pas- sionately repudiate ideas about the past and the future. The true undergraduate university is still an "as-if" world in which BROWN ALU.MM MONTHLY the student need not commit himself yet. For this is a period in which it is possible not only to specialize but to taste, if only for a semester, all the possibilities of scholarship and science, of great commitment, and the special delights to which civilized man has access today. One of the requirements of such a life has been freedom from responsibility. Founders and administrators of univer- sities have struggled through the years to provide places where young men, and more recently young women, and young men and women together, would be free — in a way they can never be free again — to explore before they settle on the way their lives are to be lived. This freedom once, as a matter of course, included free- dom from domestic responsibilities — from the obligation to wife and children or to husband and children. True, it was often confused by notions of propriety: married women and unmarried girls were believed to be improper dormitory com- panions, and a trace of the monastic tradition that once for- bade dons to marry lingered on in our men's colleges. But essentially the prohibition of undergraduate marriage was part and parcel of our belief that marriage entails responsi- bility. A student may live on a crust in a garret and sell his clothes to buy books; when a father does the same thing, it is a very different matter. An unmarried girl may prefer scholarship to clerking in an office; as the wife of a future nuclear physicist or judge of the Supreme Court — or possibly of the research worker who will find a cure for cancer — she acquires a duty to give up her own delighted search for knowledge and to help put her husband through professional school. If, additionally, they have a child or so, both sacri- fice — she her whole intellectual interest, he all but the ab- solutely essential professional grind to "get through" and "get established." As the undergraduate years come to be primarily not a search for knowledge and individual growth, but a suit- able setting for the search for a mate, the proportion of full- time students who are free to give themselves the four ir- replaceable years is being steadily whittled down. Who Is Adult and When? Should we move so far away from the past that all young people, whether in college, in technical school, or as appren- tices, expect to be married and, partially or wholly, to be supported by parents and society while they complete their training for this complex world? Should undergraduates be considered young adults, and should the privileges and re- sponsibilities of mature young adults be theirs, whether they are learning welding or Greek, bookkeeping or physics, dress- making or calculus? Whether they are rich or poor? Whether they come from educated homes or from homes without such interests? Whether they look forward to the immediate grati- fications of private life or to a wider and deeper role in so- ciety? As one enumerates the possibilities, the ear is assaulted by a familiar cry: "But this is democracy," interpreted as treat- ing all alike no matter how different they may be. Is it in fact a privilege to be given full adult responsibilities at 18 or at 20, to be forced to choose someone as a lifetime mate before one has found out who one is, oneself — to be forced somehow to combine learning with earning? The question arises here not only of who is adult, and when, but of the extent to which a society forces adulthood on young people. Civilization, as we know it, was preceded by a prolonga- tion of the learning period — first biologically, by slowing down the process of physical maturation and by giving to children many long, long years for many long, long thoughts; then socially, by developing special institutions in which young people, still protected and supported, were free to explore the past and dream of the future. May it not be a new barbarism to force them to marry so soon? "Force" is the right word. The mothers who worry about boys and girls who don't begin dating in high school start the process. By the time young people reach college, pressuring parents are joined by college administrators, by advisors and counselors and deans, by student-made rules about exclusive possession of a girl twice dated by the same boy, by the pref- erence of employers for a boy who has demonstrated a tena- cious intention of becoming a settled married man. Students who wish to marry may feel they are making magnificent, revolutionary bids for adulthood and responsibility; yet, if one listens to their pleas, one hears only the recited roster of the "others" — schoolmates, classmates, and friends — who are "already married." All Kinds of Matchmakers Busy The picture of embattled academic institutions valiantly but vainly attempting to stem a flood of undergraduate mar- riages is ceasing to be true. College presidents have joined the matchmakers. Those who head our one-sex colleges worry about transportation or experiment gingerly with ways in which girls or boys can be integrated into academic life so that they'll stay on the campus on week ends. Recently the president of one of our good, small, liberal arts colleges ex- plained to me, apologetically, "We still have to have rules be- cause, you see, we don't have enough married-student hous- ing." The implication was obvious; the ideal would be a completely married undergraduate body, hopefully at a time not far distant. With this trend in mind, we should examine some of the premises involved. The lower-class mother hopes her daugh- ter will marry before she is pregnant. The parents of a boy who is a shade gentler or more interested in art than his peers hope their son will marry as soon as possible and be "normal." Those who taught GI's after the last two wars and enjoyed their maturity join the chorus to insist that mar- riage is steadying: married students study harder and get better grades. The worried leaders of one-sex colleges note how their undergraduates seem younger, "less mature," or "more underdeveloped" than those at the big coeducational universities. They worry also about the tendency of girls to leave at the end of their Sophomore year for "wider experi- ence" — a simple euphemism for "men to marry." And parents, who are asked to contribute what they would have contributed anyway so that the young people may marry, fear — sometimes consciously and sometimes unconsciously— that the present uneasy peacetime will not last, that depres- sion or war will overtake their children as it overtook them. They push their children at ever younger ages, in Little Leagues and eighth-grade proms, to act out — quickly, be- fore it is too late — the adult dreams that may be interrupted. Thus they too consent, connive, and plan toward the earliest possible marriages for both daughters and sons. Tii'o Trends, Both of Thetn "Ominous" Undergraduate marriages have not been part of American life long enough for us to be certain what the effect will be. But two ominous trends can be noted. FEBRUARY 1960 One is the "successful" student marriage, often based on a high-school choice which both sets of parents have applauded because it assured an appropriate male with the right back- ground, and because it made the young people settle down. If not a high-school choice, then the high-school pattern is repeated: finding a girl who will go steady, dating her ex- clusively, and letting the girl propel the boy toward a career choice which will make early marriage possible. These young people have no chance to find themselves in college because they have clung to each other so exclusively. They can take little advantage of college as a broadening ex- perience, and they often show less breadth of vision as Seniors than they did as Freshmen. They marry, either as under- graduates or immediately upon graduation, have children in quick succession, and retire to the suburbs to have more chil- dren — bulwarking a choice made before either was differen- tiated as a human being. Help from both sets of parents, be- gun in the undergraduate marriage or after Commencement Day, perpetuates their immaturity. At 30 they are still imma- ture and dependent, their future mortgaged for 20 or 30 years ahead, neither husband nor wife realizing the promise that a different kind of undergraduate life might have en- abled each to fulfill. Such marriages are not failures, in the ordinary sense. They are simply wasteful of young, intelligent people who might have developed into differentiated and conscious hu- man beings. But with four or five children, the husband firmly tied to a job which he would not dare to leave, any move toward further individual development in either husband or wife is a threat to the whole family. It is safer to read what both agree with (or even not to read at all and simply look at TV together), attend the same clubs, listen to the same jokes — never for a minute relaxing their possession of each other, just as when they were teen-agers. GI stipend, as men, in their country's service. With a basic economic independence they could study, accept extra help from their families, do extra work, and still be good students and happy husbands and fathers. Should Married Students Be Helped'? There are, then, two basic conclusions. One is that under any circumstances a full student life is incompatible with early commitment and domesticity. The other is that it is incompatible only under conditions of immaturity. Where the choice has been made maturely, and where each member of the pair is doing academic work which deserves full sup- port, complete economic independence should be provided. For other types of student marriage, economic help should be refused. This kind of discrimination would remove the usual dan- gers of parent-supported, wife-supported, and too-much- work-supported student marriages. Married students, male and female, making full use of their opportunities as under- graduates, would have the right to accept from society this extra time to become more intellectually competent people. Neither partner would be so tied to a part-time job that rela- tionships with other students would be impaired. By the de- mands of high scholarship, both would be assured of contin- ued growth that comes from association with other high- caliber students as well as with each other. But even this solution should be approached with caution. Recent psychological studies, especially those of Piaget, have shown how essential and precious is the intellectual develop- ment of the early post-pubertal years. It may be that any do- mesticity takes the edge off the eager, flaming curiosity on which we must depend for the great steps that Man must take, and take quickly, if he and all living things are to con- tinue on this earth. Before They Have Their Chance Such a marriage is a premature imprisonment of young people, before they have had a chance to explore their own minds and the minds of others, in a kind of desperate, de- voted symbiosis. Both had college educations, but the college served only as a place in which to get a degree and find a mate from the right family background, a background which subsequently swallows them up. The second kind of undergraduate marriage is more tragic. Here, the marriage is based on the boy's promise and the expendability of the girl. She, at once or at least as soon as she gets her Bachelor's degree, will go to work at some sec- ondary job to support her husband whUe he finishes his de- gree. She supports him faithfully and becomes identified in his mind with the family that has previously supported him, thus underlining his immature status. As soon as he becomes independent, he leaves her. When this pattern occurs be- tween young people who seem ideally suited to each other, it suggests that it was the period of economic dependency that damaged the marriage relationship, rather than any in- trinsic incompatibility in the original choice. Both types of marriage, the "successful" and the "unsuc- cessful," emphasize the key issue: the tie between economic responsibility and marriage in our culture. A man who does not support himself is not yet a man, and a man who is sup- ported by his wife or lets his parents support his wife is also only too likely to feel he is not a man. The GI students' suc- cess actually supports this position: they had earned their Brownbrokers' 25th (Continued from page 6) the next year — and have continued, since that time, to pro- duce regularly as a part of our dramatic season. The revue gave way to the plotted musical comedy, sometimes set on College Hill, more often not. Some of the shows have been very good, none of them have been bad — but sometimes I ache to bang some heads together. I have learned that it is better to suffer in silence while a student director learns the hard way — by experience. Every student actor or author knows he is a better director than the one chosen by the Brownbroker board: that young man or woman learns to walk humbly among all the fussing and the fuming. Sooner or later the show jells, comes alive, and plays — and several of the participants have learned that other people can do things also. I call it part of their education. The funniest thing in 25 years? Easy: Wimpy 's famous flight. It happened at dress rehearsal. At that time it was the custom for a certain fraternity to put on a skit, or number, in the show. This was a secret until dress rehearsal night, and the entire cast was in the house, watching, when Wimpy — that was his nickname — made his famous flying swing across the stage. He stood in the wings, standing on the shoulders of one man, supported by another. He was clad in a tiger 10 BROWN .\LIIMN1 MONTHLY A MEDIEVAL HISTORY only 20 years junior lo flie Guienberg Bible has been added to the Brown University collection of rare books. It was from the press of Gunther Zoiner in 1473, the "Historio Scholostico" by Petrus Comestor. Only six other copies of the work are in America. The University has added steadily to the original collection of more than 500 prized volumes from the early printing presses of Europe since Brown acquired the Annmory Brown Memorial in 1948. skin and had a wreath of roses on his head and a long tin trumpet. Around his waist was a narrow belt; fastened to it were the pulley blocks hitched high up on the gridiron above the stage. I hadn't liked the idea, for the belt was too narrow, so I instructed my stagehand, aloft in the flies, to let him down if he heard me call. On the stage the stately dance of big football men clad in white union suits and little ballet skirts swung out of a circle into a long line. Came the signal, and Wimpy was to sail grandly across stage, 10 feet in the air, blowing his trumpet. At the end of his swing two men were waiting to catch him, turn him around, and sail him back again. Well, Wimpy flew all right — with one agonized trumpet blat as the man he was standing on dropped down to his knees. The narrow belt cut off his wind, and he sailed across the stage in a tight ball. On the other side they grabbed his feet to turn him around, but he got out one agonized yell of "lemme down" before starting his return trip. My stagehand heard the word "down" and slacked off on his rope, so Wimpy planed across in a descending arc, knocking over most of the ballet dancers and landing on his stomach in the middle of the stage. The audience loved it, and so did I — but Wimpy was not amused. He flew, for the nights of the show, safely bundled in a canvas sling, looking like a baby about to be delivered by the stork. "/ Lose More Dam Sailors" Then there was the boy who could never remember his lines in a skit, but who remembered them at dress rehearsal and broke up the show by stepping up to the footlights and calling out to the director: "See, Birdie, I did it." During the war most of the men were members of the Naval units at Brown. One of them, playing the part of a Shore Patrol, had a bad time with the Captain in Command of the Navy at Brown one year. He thought the Shore Patrol was real but not quite regulation. That was the year, too, when the Navy sent a directive about certain of its trainees who were in uniform in the orchestra: They must not play fiddles with their sleeves rolled back. A line that brought down the house every night during a show was delivered by a student playing the part of a Naval officer. He came on stage, looked up at the disappearing rope (a sailor had climbed out of sight), and turned to the audience to say sadly "I lose more darn sailors that way." Every year, in the spring, the time arrives, and once again the piano appears in the pit and the thud of dancing feet is heard on stage and sewing machines whirr in the dressing rooms. Growing pains come and go, but I am not upset. Twenty-five years have simply proved to me that the show will go on. Twenty-five years from now I am quite sure that Brownbrokers will be writing, producing, and acting. The faces will be different, but the jokes will have a familiar ring, and the audience will enjoy the show — and so shall 1. A School for Bankers BROWN UNIVERSITY has been selected as the campus for the Graduate School of Savings Banking, Dr. Grover W. Ensley, Executive Vice-President of the National Association of Mutual Savings Banks, the sponsoring organization, an- nounced in New York recently. The objective of the school, which will open at Brown next June 19 for its first session, is "to help qualified personnel from savings banks of all sizes to develop skills and abilities in the management of savings in- stitutions." President Keeney said the University welcomes the decision by the Association to establish its school on College Hill. "Brown is pleased that it will be able to assist in some measure this significant education project being developed by the Na- tional Association of Mutual Savings Banks," Dr. Keeney said. Dr. Ensley said Brown's experience with graduate studies, its fully-staffed Economics Department and its excellent facilities make it an ideal campus for the school. Dr. Lloyd F. Pierce, who at present is Assistant Vice- President of the Hamilton National Bank of Johnson City, Tenn., has been appointed Director of the School and Direc- tor of the Association's newly-created Department of Educa- tion. Dr. Pierce received the Bachelor of Arts degree from Carson Newman College, the Master of Arts degree in finance and Economic Theory from American University, and the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Economics from the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. John deLaittre, President of the Association of Mutual Savings Banks, said the Association's new Education Depart- ment, which Dr. Pierce is to head, will work closely with Brown and with the Association's Committee on Education and Management Development in organizing the school and its curriculum. The education department will also take over direction of the Management Development Conference at Dartmouth — started by the Association in 1957 — and will de- velop education programs for other levels of savings bank em- ployes, Mr. deLaittre said. Among the members of the Association's Committee on Education and Management Development is Charles A. Post '10, resident of the Citizens Savings Bank of Providence. Other Brunonians active in the Association are Kilgore Mac- farlane, Jr., '23, President of the Buffalo Savings Bank, and Thomas F. Black, Jr., '19, President of the Providence Institu- tion of Savings. FEBRUARY 1960 11 It may not seem rfmarkaui e lliat Dr. W.

In addition to a year spe7it on leave as and advisor to the G. wedge open the door to further and fur- ther government intrusion into the affairs of free academic institutions. As President Keeney told the convention of the New England Society of Newspaper Editors here last November: "One thing we are all afraid of in fed- eral aid to education is federal control, and this is a step toward it. It is inter- ference with the choice of students, for this oath and this disclaimer impose a test for entrance upon students or a test for financial aid which the institutions them- selves do not impose. ... As federal aid increases, as it appears likely to do, it be- comes more and more important that we 20 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY be cautious about accepting restrictions and controls, and we must here, at the very beginning, be very cautious about ac- cepting a precedent for other controls. Such clear-sighted concern to guard against government meddling in a sensi- tive field like higher education, in our opinion, will do more to protect liberty in America than all the affidavits and dis- claimers ever concocted by fearful patriots. Behind the Editorial With publication of the comment above, the Journal's editorial page may also have been trying to atone for a boner committed by its news staff. A page-one news story had said: "A special committee of the Brown University faculty has rec- ommended a letter-writing campaign to inform Congress of opposition to the 'loyalty oath" requirement for student loans under the National Defense Education .^ct." This was NOT the case, of course, and the University's news release had made this perfectly clear. A rewrite man had chosen to substitute the phrase "loyalty oath" for the one in the release, which was "affidavit of disbe- lief." The "loyalty oath" provision of the federal loan program is wholly proper and acceptable to the Faculty. It was the "affidavit of disbelief" which was under fire in the Faculty report. Both are in the act, and both are required of students ob- taining federal loans under it. Under the loyalty oath provision, the student makes the traditional affirmation of allegiance to the United States of .Amer- ica. Under the disclaimer provision, how- ever, the student is required to execute an affidavit in which he swears that "he does not believe in and is not a member of and does not support any organization that be- lieves in or teaches the overthrow of the United States Government by force or violence or by any illegal or unconstitu- tional methods." It was the latter provision which a res- olution by the Brown Faculty declared "would fail to achieve its objective, based as it is on a purely verbal disclaimer; sin- gles out students as objects of suspicion; imposes a "test oath" repugnant to our traditions; exposes those signing the affi- davit to the possibility of perjury prosecu- tions resting on vague allegations, or im- proper and intimidating inquiries into their beliefs, and violates the spirit of edu- cation by virtue of its expressly negative motif." The Journal had previously "corrected"" its twisting of the fact with a second-day item — a paragraph buried in the back of the issue. Congress last summer narrowly defeated an attempt to remove the affidavit require- ment from the act. While a number of colleges and universities have already with- drawn from the loan program to empha- size their opposition to the disclaimer pro- vision, others (including Brown) have gone on record as opposing it but remain- ing in the program for the time being. The expectation is that Congress will re- consider the provision: Brown is waiting to see if this does not happen. The Brown Clubs Report T I '■ASHiNGTON Sent a bear to College W Hill in December, and the incident calls for a little background. In fact, the staff in Alumni House was considerably relieved when the explanation arrived, a bit later than the receipt of the bear itself. The Washington alumni had an idea during a going-away party for Wendell B. Barnes "32 at the home of Thomas G. Corcoran "22 soon after Barnes had re- signed as Administrator of the Small Busi- ness Administration. Someone had seen the statue of "The Happy Bear"" in the Corcoran Art Gallery, and it was suggested that President Keeney ought to have a replica of it. The Brown Club Treasurer. George Viault "26, was directed to under- take the project in the name of the Wash- ington Brunonians. He followed through. Acting for the Washington Brown Club, the officers in Alumni House made a "blind" appointment with Dr. Keeney, and the surprise presentation was made in his office in University Hall. A letter from Barnes, read during the ceremony, told the rest of the story. It was addressed to the President; "It has long been a custom for Brown men to give a bear to one of their number who has distinguished himself in under- graduate life or in alumni activities. The members of the Washington Brown Club believe this custom should be extended even to Presidents of the University who have rendered a great service to the Brown community. "Therefore, it is with great pleasure that the members of the Washington Brown Club present to you this bear for the leadership you have thus far displayed in University affairs during your tenure as President, and particularly for your fore- sight and work, along with your associates, in conducting the major Convocation at Brown University in October, 1959. It gave luster to the name of Brown and made all of us who are interested in the Univer- sity "s welfare proud. "This bear, which was obtained through the Corcoran Art Gallery in Washington, is a replica of a fine work by a noted American sculptor. It is called "The Happy Bear." It is symbolic, we believe, since the bear has been hibernating and is rising to do vigorous things, as is Brown University. Like the alumni and friends of the Univer- sity who sat for three days on the hard seats of Marvel Gymnasium, the bear gives every evidence that certain parts of its anatomy have long been cramped. We hope that this bear will give you pleasure and will lead to other activity in Brown University in the years ahead.'"

SpoiLSOring the Brown Band The Brown University Band was pre- sented by the Brown Club of Rhode Island in a delightful November concert in Alum- nae Hall under the direction of Prof. Mar- tin Fischer, conductor, and Farrell Flem- ing, student conductor. The unit responded ably to the new challenge of performing in the concert hall for an attentive and ap- preciative audience. While much of the program was in pop- ular vein, the musicians were as much at home in the Bach-Chiaffarelli chorale and the Mayflower Overture which Pro. Ron Nelson wrote for the Brown Band.

Brown's Advisory Council Is Summoned to The Hill WITH THE Advisory Council meetings growing in importance each year and with several auxiliary agencies of the As- sociated Alumni using that week end for significant sessions, Alumni House had all in readiness for them on Feb. 5 and 6. The hundreds of alumni leaders would spend Saturday morning in specialized groups but be together for the two major events on the program, the Council Dinner on Friday night and the Saturday afternoon Convocation. The University's service to education through its strengthened teaching institutes was to be the theme of the dinner. The speakers: Dr. R. Bruce Lindsay, Dean of the Graduate School, on "Brown Univer- sity and Public Education." Prof. Elmer R. Smith, Chairman of the Department of Education, on "The Brown Plan of Teacher Education." Prof. Hunter Kellenberger, Chairman of the Department of Modern Languages, on "When Scholars Talk with Teachers." The Alumni President, C. Man- ton Eddy '22, will preside. Simultaneous meetings on Saturday will occupy the attention of the delegates on Saturday morning: The Association of Class Secretaries will conduct the annual meeting under Chairman Earl W. Harring- ton, Jr., '4L Chairman J. Angus Thurrott '31 will preside over a general meeting of Trustees and Agents of the Brown Univer- sity Fund. Daniel L. Brown '12 will chair the conference of State Chairmen in the Bequests Program. The Alumni Admission Advisory Council has a workshop sched- uled under Joseph F. Lockett, Jr., '42. When the Board of Editors holds its monthly meeting in Alumni House, all in- terested alumni are invited to join in an open discussion about your magazine. The Advisory Council's annual business meeting will come just before lunch, with reports from the Alumni Secretary, Wil- liam B. McCormick '23, and the Alumni Treasurer, Richmond H. Sweet '25. One of its functions will be to nominate candi- dates for Alumni Trustee, President-Elect of the Associated Alumni, Regional Direc- tors, and an Athletic Council member. Afternoon speakers will be headed by President Keeney in the annual address on "the state of the University" which is al- ways one of the year's highlights. With him on the platform will be Athletic Direc- tor Paul F. Mackesey '32, the Fund Chair- man, the Alumni President, and Allen B. Williams, Jr., '40, who will report on the University's Bicentennial Program. The social side of the program also follows tradition, with a tea at the Pres- ident's House, a compotation at Alumni House, and such athletic contests as the Yale hockey game, Holy Cross swimming meet, and Yale wrestling meet. The li- braries will have special exhibits on dis- play, while the University Store will stay open later than usual on Saturday after- noon for the benefit of the visitors. The program has been arranged by Les- ter F. Shaal '29, Chairman, Samuel T. Arnold, Jr., '45, and Robert W. Kenyon '36. Indiana Schoolboys The Brown Club of Indiana held its annual Sub-Freshman session at the Rivi- era Club in Indianapolis on Dec. 29. Ap- proximately 25 high school Juniors and Seniors and 10 parents attended the event. Bill Dyer '24 welcomed the guests, while two Brown undergraduates, Mike Hittle and Ted Boehm, gave the narrative for the slides of the Campus activities. During the coke session which followed, six other Brown undergraduates answered questions for the guests. Other members of the Club who served as hosts included Fred Wil- liams '32, Reese Harris III '58, Dan Grubbs '26, Don Howarth '39, Lt. Col. Charles Blount '40, John Esterline '57, Hal Austin '43, and Al Kessler '35. En Route to Homecoming Timing its meeting for the evening be- fore Homecoming, the South Shore Brown Club welcomed Dean Charles Watts and 30 alumni and wives to the Blacksmith Shop in Whitman, Mass., on Nov. 13. President Bob Sanderson introduced the Dean, who gave a descriptive and opti- mistic account of projects afoot at the University. Another speaker was Dr. Orland Smith, one of the famous Iron Men, who pro- vided some humorous recollections of his football days. Ed Kiely '50, a member of Coach McLaughry's scouting staff, fur- nished excellent background material on HEADLINERS at the November gothering of South Shore alumni in Massachusetts included a visitor I from Detroit, Jock Foley '25.

(More than 80 from the South Shore area journeyed to the Hill for it. ) The pre-Homecoming event was an ex- periment, but it was so well received that the members voted to make it an annual feature of the Brown Club year in future. PRESTON BARRY '49 Pittsburgh, Unsigned Gilbert Love led off his column, "Around Our Town," in the Pittsburgh Press for Dec. 7 with this paragraph: "An unsigned postcard says the officers of the Brown University Club of Pittsburgh are Barton, Bartlett, Gorham, Hooton, and Hotton. Sounds like a start on a good firm name." The facts were right: The officers are: William J. Barton "45, Harlan A. Bartlett '51, James R. Gorham '54. John R. Hooton '51, and George E. Hotton "55. And they've kept the Club on a good, firm basis. Long Island Sub-Freshmen The Long Island Brown Club, more than 60 members strong, met at the Stew- art Manor Country Club on Dec. 1 to wel- come Coach John McLaughry to the area. Thirty guests attended, including 16 Sub- Freshmen. McLaughry brought along films of Brown's Homecoming victory over Har- vard. The new Bruin coach also gave a brief review of the 1959 season and painted an optimistic picture of things to come on the gridiron for Brown. A buffet supper rounded out the pleasant program arranged by Chairman Norm Davidson '52. Dave Mittlemann '36, member of the Cross and Brown real estate firm, is serv- ing as President of the Club for the aca- demic year. Other officers include: Vice President — Claude Worley '48; Secretary — V. Donald Russo, Jr., '50; Treasurer — John J. Roe, Jr., '27. Others in attendance at the December session included: John A.

Cincinnati Greeting For all it was familiar, we liked the Christmas card on which the Brown Uni- versity Club of Cincinnati sent its holiday greetings. It had a picture of the First Baptist Meeting House in Providence on the cover, a reduced version of the wood block which we used on our own cover for the May, 1958, issue. Providence Debutantes The Debutante Assembly in Providence saw a number of Bru- nonians presenting their daughters to society in December. Among the debutantes at the ball at the Shera- ton Biltmore were: Miss Patience Arnold, daughter of Dana R. Arnold '25 and Mrs. Arnold; Miss Sarah Bartlett Bullock, daughter of T. Brenton Bullock '38 and Mrs. Bullock (George B. Bul- lock '05, a grandfather, was also present); Miss Otis Powel Crosby, daughter of Edward G. Crosby '35 and Mrs. Crosby; Miss Alice Louise Drew, daughter of Edwin F. Drew '30 and Mrs. Drew; Miss Edith Howe Fulton, daughter of Dr. Mar- shall N. Fulton '20 and Mrs. Fulton; the Misses Cornelia Elizabeth and Kate Macbeth Green, daughters of Ronald C. Green, Jr., '31 and Mrs. Green; Miss Susan Davis Lynch, daughter of John R. Lynch '34 and Mrs. Lynch; and Miss Ruth Rickie Phillips, daughter of the late Taylor R. Phillips and Mrs. Phillips, now Mrs. William K. Kerr. Miss Nancy Bolster Fales, another debutante, is the granddaughter of J. Richmond Fales '10. Senator Theodore Francis Green '87 opened his home on John St., Providence, for a reception in honor of three grandnieces, including the two Misses Green named above. Holiday Specials Brown Club members and their guests in New York City enjoyed the traditional Christmas Egg Nog Party in the Great Hall of the Clubhouse on East 39th St. It was timed for the University holidays so that undergraduates might be welcomed, too. Syracuse invited Sub-Freshmen and their fathers to have lunch with the Brown Club members at the Corinthian Club on Dec. 26. Harry Remington, Admissions Council representative in the area, was Chairman, with President William Margeson greeting the guests. Activity in Cleveland Cleveland initiated its Brown Club 1959-60 season with a full evening of foot- ball films, Cleveland Browns variety. Don Colo '50 was the star of this highlight film of the '58 Browns, and he received nu- merous cheers for his fine play at defen- sive right tackle. Ivan Fuqua, Bruin track coach, was in town in November, meeting with a number of high school boys interested in Brown. Roy Smith '34 was host for the second an- nual holiday get-together for alumni, un- dergraduates, and Sub-Freshmen on Jan. 2. Those in attendance at the fall gather- ings included: Dave Ridderheim '58. Bill Fortner '57, Jack Novatney '52, Phil Moss '52, Roger Young '50, Harry Hoffman '25, Paul Heinen '55, Joe Adams '50 (who had a few words to say on his latest theories of archeology), Ralph Briggs '31, Al Dil- lingham '18, Bob Eckert '57, Gordon Macklin '50, Ellsworth Ostergard '49, Roy Smith '34, Myron Curtis '07, Charley Lit- tlefield '43, Dick Barnes '27, and Ted Sel- over "52. ted selover '52 The Dean in Hartford Dean Charles H. Watts was guest of honor at a Dec. 2 meeting of the Hartford Brown Club. The affair, one of the most interesting in recent years, was held at the Hotel Statler-Hilton. The Dean talked about the University, its student body, and its professional staff, with due reference to the future. All present were more proud than ever to be Brunonians when he fin- ished his talk. In a surprise move, the Club presented citations to Frank O. Jones '97, and Daniel Howard '93 in honor of their contribution to Brown and to their communities. Hart- ford's own President of the Associated Alumni, Manton Eddy '22, presented the awards. Lee Shaw '48, President of The Connecticut Valley Brown Club, of which both Frank and Dan were charter mem- bers, led a delegation down to help us do the honors. Another feature of the evening was the spontaneous discussions that arose about admissions work. Here, too. Lew gave the members of our Club some helpful sug- gestions as he outlined the work being done in the Springfield area. A tip of the hat should go to Hawley Judd '45, who presided, and to Brad Ben- son '52, who chaired the committee on ar- rangements. Others in attendance included: Ev. Harkness '05, Vern Krieble '07, L. Wattles '13, Frank Crocker '15, Jess Bailey '16, Cy Flanders '18, Larry Smith '20, Wally Henshaw '23, Al Goddard '23, Ben Clamon '30, Paul Monahan '31, Karl Kaf- fenberger '39, Hank Hayes "42, Clarence Roth '46, Warren Randall '49, Don Hutchi- son '50, Tony Waterman '51, Bob Good- win '52, Fred Bailey '53, Dick DePatie '55, and Jim DeMund '56. CY FLANDERS '18 Los Angeles Annual Gen. Charles W. Schott '29, Deputy Inspector of the U.S. Air Force, was the principal speaker at the annual fall dinner of the Los Angeles Brown Club on Dec. 8. He gave an informative and appreciated address on the power and potential of America's air arm. Wives and Pembroke alumnae were included in the invitation to the Mona Lisa Restaurant. Among those present were: John B. Smyth, Julianne Hilt, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar C. Smith, Jr., Alvin R. Hagenau, Secretary and Mrs. John J. Durnin, John J. Dono- van, David Narvick. F.

JOHN J. durnin FEBRUARY 1960 23 Carrying the Mail My Teachers at Brown Sir: 1 would like to write a few words about why 1 feel you should be very proud of the members of the Brown faculty. I have been away from Brown for more than a year, and my discussions with stu- dents from other colleges and universities concerning their relationship with their teachers have impressed me with the fact that Brown has a "responsible" faculty. I use the word "responsible" in refer- ence to student-faculty relationships. I nearly always found, during my four years at Brown, that my teachers were friendly, hospitable, and patient: con- cerned about the amount of understand- ing 1 gained in my subjects: conscientious about their teaching: and willing to listen to my ideas and present many of their ideas to me. My friends from other universities and colleges have generally not had the fortu- nate teacher-student relationships of which 1 can boast and several of them, in fact, are quite bitter about this. 1 have heard many of them complain about the disin- terest and lack of concern shown them by their teachers. I hope that Brown will continue to em- phasize the importance of good teaching and close student-teacher relationships as well as stressing the importance of re- search carried out by the Faculty. B. ALLEN FLAXMAN '58 Yale School of Medicine (The letter above was actually addressed to President Keeney. We have taken the liberty of giving it a wider reading. — Ed.) "VNTiy Mead Lifted Hats Sir: I read with great interest the fine article about the Brown Professors in the December magazine by Robert Cushman Murphy '11. I am reminded of one thing about Dr. Mead which he did not happen to mention: This was Mead's habit of lifting the hats of his returning "boys" to see if their hair- line had started to retreat. For some rea- son, he wants us all to have as good a crop of hair as he had. William R. Eastwood '13 Nalick. Mass. Could He Split the Atom? Sir: Memories do "come in little pieces," and it is hard to keep from becoming gar- rulous over the shadows of long ago. In the years 1915-18 there was a teacher of chemistry in Brown University named Dr. Bucher (John Emery Bucher, New- port-Rogers Professor of Chemistry). One day he was lecturing to us, a motley of students interested in getting through our credit requirements in the physical sci- ences. The Professor began to make weird figures, graphs, and formulae on a black- board, talking more to himself than to us as the crayon raced along. We were tyros in chemistry, and we thought the Professor had gotten mixed up in his classes. His lecture could be comprehended only by advanced students, but we were delighted because he could not possibly hold us re- sponsible for what he was saying. We al- ready had enough headaches. When Dr. Bucher reached the end of those puzzling configurations, he pointed to the final chalk-marks and exclaimed: "There it is, gentlemen! There it is! I have split the atom theoretically. 1 hope it will never be done practically. Some fool would then blow up the earth. Why, the hydrogen in the ocean could be set ablaze, and the seas would burn for months. This planet would be reduced to a blistering cinder." Now Dr. Bucher was not purely a the- orist. He had constructed a practical nitro- gen-fixation machine to extract nitrogen from the air, a device of war-time interest because the country was faced with a shortage of nitrogen for fertilizers. Could he not also have built a thermo-nuclear machine for hydrogen fusion or uranium fission? Surely, he was alert to the "know- how" 45 years ago. AUGUSTUS C. WEBB "15, M.D. Chicago 44 Years of Rising IQ's Sir: I think I know the source of the question raised by Irving Price '05 of East Aurora, N. Y., though the story was changed considerably in the telling in Small Talk last fall. A Boy Scout Scholarship Brown University has established a special Boy Scout scholarship in honor of J. Harold Williams "18, Scout Executive of Narragansett Council, Boy Scouts of America, Dr. Barnaby C. Keeney, Brown president, announced late in December. The scholarship, varying in amount from $200 to $2,000, according to the need of the recipient, will be awarded each year to a member of the entering class at Brown who has been active in Narragansett Council, Dr. Keeney said. Dr. Keeney said the University wel- comes the opportunity to honor "Chief" Williams in this way and to call attention to Narragansett Council's Golden Jubilee Fund Drive, now in progress. Terms of the J. Harold Williams schol- arship provide for its award "to an active Boy Scout, Explorer, or Scouter of Nar- ragansett Council, Boy Scouts of America, who has demonstrated devotion lo the THE "CHIEF" and Mrs. J. Harold Williams. Scout Oath and Law; ability in the skills and advancements of Scouting; dedication to the guidance and leadership of Scouts, and acceptance of his responsibilities in home, church, school, and community." Norman A. Sprinthall, Director of Fi- nancial Aid at Brown, said each year's scholarship winner will be selected in the following manner: All candidates for the award must meet Browns regular admis- sion requirements, must be in need of financial aid, and must qualify as active members of Narragansett Council. In .^pril the records of all those who meet the ini- tial requirements will be screened by Brown Admission officials, and the names of the top candidates will be presented to Narra- gansett CounciKs Court of Honor for its recommendation. This recommendation. Sprinthall said, will aid Brown"s Commit- tee on Financial Aid in making the final selection. 24 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY A year ago I was asked to address the Sophomore Chapel at Brown. I told them how, that morning, I had had breakfast in Gardner House with a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Cambridge University. I presented him with the following facts: The University has claimed, and I am sure correctly, that the average IQ of its entering Freshmen rises each September. Forty-four years after I was a Brown Sophomore. I was to address the current Sophomores. If then, I asked, the IQ has been advancing steadily during the 44 years, where did that place me with re- spect to those in my audience later in the day? After a thoughtful moment, the mathe- matician replied: "Undoubtedly, in need of protective custody." WILBOUR E. SAUNDERS '16 Rochester, N. Y. How Small Ls Change? Sir: I sent the Carberry Fund a check for $2.80, the amount of small change in my right-hand pants pocket on Friday. Nov. 13, 1959. Since the remittance brought up a nice ethical and legalistic question. I would appreciate your advice on it. For approximately 20 years, I have car- ried in my said pocket one Silver Dollar, which I regard not as currency but as a talisman. For this reason I do not include it in my calculations for the purpose of aiding the Carberry cause. If you feel that this is doing the good Professor out of his due, please so advise me. WATSON SMITH '19 Tucson, Ariz. (This nice question was put on the lap of Josiah Carberry himself, displacing other encumbrances there at the moment. Never- theless, she was able to take dictation on the following memo for our guidance: "A man who carries $2.80 around in change needs a talisman, if not a Brink operative. At any rate, to answer your inquiry, I point out that a silver dollar is such big change that it does not qualify as small. Nor does your correspondent. J.S.C.")

FEBRUARY 1960 25 A MONTH FULL OF THRILLERS Sons;itional Holiday Hockey THE Brown hockey sextet was the toast of the New England college hockey circles after sweeping to the cham- pionship of the Bowdoin Invitation Tour- nament and coming within an eyelash of capturing the more competitive Boston Arena Christmas Hockey Tourney. The fact that this resurgence came at about the same time that definite plans for a hockey rink in 1960 were announced may be coincidental. In any event, the players had the good news of the S500.000 gift just before they took the ice against their Bowdoin hosts. .•\fter losing to Providence and Boston College and defeating Tufts, the Bruins came roaring hack to win si.\ of their next nine games. The wins were against North- eastern (2-1). .Amherst (5-3). Colgate (9-.^). Bowdoin (4-2). Hamilton (5-3), and Boston University (3-2). Colby (5-1). Toronto (3-2). and Providence (2-1) de- feated the Bears, with the latter two losses coming in overtime play. The amazing aspect of the spectacular showing in Boston was the fact that Coach Jim Fullerton could use only 1 1 men against the Canadian champions. Only Kelley was available from the first line, for Laub was grounded in Buffalo by the blizzards at home and Battel was hurt. With only four spare forwards and a single reserve on defense, the Bruins caught the fancy of Boston crowds and dropped two heartbreakers, both in sudden-death play. "Despite our shortage of manpower, this is one of the most spirited and coura- geous teams I've ever coached." Fullerton stated. He found it hard to single out any individual, for the success of the Bruin skaters had obviously been a team per- formance. However, the play of Rod Mc- Garry in the goal, Allen Soares and Brian Molloy at defense, and Dave Kelley at for- ward had been sensational. McGarry, liv- ing up to Fullerton's e.xpectations, had become one of the finest netminders in the East. Kelley, after an in-and-out Junior season, was playing the top-grade hockey of which he is capable. Dave Laub, Senior center, scored both of Brown's goals in the 2-1 decision over Northeastern. McGarry had 35 saves and preserved Brown's triumph with a great stop on Jack Palmer in the final second of play. After losing to a strong Colby team, the Bruins started a five-game win- ning streak by defeating Amherst, 5-3. Laub again was the scoring leader, notch- ing two goals. Jack D'Entremont's first score of the season broke a 2-all tie in the- final minute of the middle period and gave the Bruins a lead they never lost. McGarry turned in another fine stint, kicking out 34 shots. ROD McGARRY Brown was seeded second in the Bow- doin tourney, but the Bears confounded the experts by going all the way. defeating the favored Hamilton sextet in the finale. The Bruins bombed an inexperienced Col- gate team, 9-3, in the opening round. Kel- ley performed the hat trick with three goals, while Laub tallied twice. The hus- tling Bruins peppered the Colgate goalie with 54 shots, while McGarry had a rela- tively easy evening with 19 saves. The Bears spotted Bowdoin one goal in the first period and then turned the heat on the host club for a 4-2 triumph. Before the first period closed. Brown had taken a 3-1 lead on goals by D'Entremont and Bob Battel. Each team tallied once in the sec- ond canto to close out the scoring for the evening. Kelley picked up Brown's insur- ance goal. Firing at long range from the blue line at every opportunity. Coach Jim Fuller- ton's men won the tourney title by pinning a 5-3 loss on previously undefeated Ham- ilton. The losers opened the scoring at 11:41 of the first stanza only to have Laub tie it up for Brown. Then, the Bears iced the decision with a four-goal flurry in the second period. Kelley hit with a 25-foot shot from the side, Soares drove one home from the blue line. Kelley hit again, and then Laub sewed it up with the fifth and final goal — again from the blue line. Mc- Garry turned back 40 shots. Co-captain Soares was selected by the coaches as the tournament's most valuable player, while both he and Kelley were named to the all-tourney team. In the opening round of the Boston tour- nament, the Bruins, badly outmanned but overloaded with grit and determination, staged one of the biggest upsets of the New England season by overturning highly- regarded Boston University, 3-2. "This was unquestionably one of the biggest victories in the five-year coaching reign of Jim Fullerton, coming as it did against a club ranked number two in New England and number five in the East. Making it all the more amazing was the fact that Brown played with only five reserves (four for- wards and one defenseman) because of the absence of Laub and Battel, first-line for- wards. Both men missed the entire tour- ney. Battel with a kidney injury he suffered at Bowdoin and Laub because he was snowbound. Forced to rejuggle his already thin forces. Fullerton sent the team out to play a tight defensive game. This plan put great pressure on McGarry, and the Bear goalie had one of his greatest nights, all but breaking the hearts of the Terriers with a number of brilliant saves among the 40 he kicked out. Several of his stops were out- and-out robbery, and at the final buzzer the chunky netminder was mobbed by his mates and Fullerton, who went out on the ice to offer his congratulations. Brown jumped into a 1-0 lead on a blazing 40-footer from the left by defense- man Ralph Lowry at 12:02. The Terriers tied it on a 45-foot screen shot at 15:09. Another long shot at 4:53 of the second period gave B.U. a 2-1 edge. However, the Bears bounced back. Kelley picked up a loose puck in the B.U. end while Brown was a man short and tied the score at 6:51. The winning tally came with 42 sec- onds left in the game. Kelley took a pass in the center zone and raced down the right lane. He was knocked to the ice in the comer but, while falling, shovelled the puck to D'Entremont, trailing the play, and Jack rammed it home. The win against the Terriers gave the Bruins the dubious distinction of tangling with Toronto University, six-time Cana- dian champions. A big. fast rugged club. Toronto was rated tourney co-favorite with B.U. Dubbed the Cinderella team by the sportswriters, the Bruins twice came from behind to tie the score only to bow 3-2 in overtime. However, even in defeat Brown won the plaudits of the Boston fans and WTiters by their brilliant stand against a club that was rated five or sLx goals better. With McGarry having another fine night, the Bears held off the quick Canadian out- fit until the 14th minute of the second period. Brown tied it in the second minute of the third period when Kelley fired home a close-in backhander while Toronto was a man short. The Canadians regained the lead at 11:05, but the amazing Bears failed to fold and brought the crowd to its feet when Gene Pfiefer scored at 12:20. To- ronto's winning goal came at 1:10 of sud- den death on a face-off to the right of the Bruin cage. 26 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Brown's 1 1 gallant men were weary in the consolation game against Providence College, which had drawn a bye and played only one previous game in the tourney. But the Bears managed to make a 1-0 lead hold up until the I4-minute mark of the final period. P.C. then went on to win the game in the second minute of overtime play on a 40-foot screen shot. Kelley had scored Brown's goal midway through the second period on a solo effort. McGarry again was sensational in the cage, as were Soares, Molloy, and Lowry on defense. (Toronto defeated Harvard, 7-2, in the championship finale.) In the post-tourney balloting, McGarry was named the most valuable player, edg- ing out teammate Kelley. The Bruin goalie had allowed only seven goals in the three games and turned in 117 saves. Both he and Kelley, of course, were on the first all- tourney team, while Soares was selected as a defenseman on the second unit. There is no question but that Brown hockey received a shot in the arm as a result of the fine job turned in by Coach Fullerton and his skating Iron Men. Bob Englert, sportswriter for the Providence Journal-Bulletin, summed it up this way: "Brown's was one of the most amazing performances in the history of the tourney and won the hearts of the Hub fans with its fantastic exhibitions while playing with- out the services of two first line men. Bat- tel and Laub. Their absence left the Bruins with only a handful of reserves, some un- tested, but instead of bemoaning their mis- fortunes they went out and played the tournament of their lives. With a lucky bounce of the puck here or there, the Bruins could have skated off with all the marbles, "Dave Kelley, skating double shifts be- cause of Brown's shorthandedness, played tremendous hockey and was a threat every time he got his stick on the puck. Defense- man Al Soares, Brian Molloy, and Ralph Lowry were superb, and goalie Rod Mc- Garry was truly terrific. Jack Kennedy, To- ronto coach, said McGarry was the finest American goalie he'd ever seen and was by far the best his club had faced this season." Unexpected or not, this was Brown's finest moment in hockey since 1951 when Coach Wes Moulton "31 took the Bruins to the finals of the national championships in Colorado. Returning to their home ice on Jan. 6. the Bruins opened the Ivy League season with a 3-2 win over a good Harvard team on DEntremont's goal with 30 seconds of play remaining. For Coach Fullerton. this was his first win over the Crimson in his five seasons on the Hill. D'Entremont again teamed with Kelley for the winning goal, as he did in the up- set win over B.U. The Walpole, Mass., Junior broke with Kelley against a lone Harvard defender just when it appeared that sudden-death overtime was imminent. Kelley carried the puck into the Crimson zone and fed to D'Entremont on his left as he neared the cage. The latter fired the disc home from eight feet out and sent the partisan Brown fans into near hysteria. Playing tight defensive hockey and dis- MIKE CINGISER rupting Harvard's offensive maneuvers with some solid forechecking. Brown took the lead in the 10th minute of play when Kelley rifled home a 10-footer on Dave Laub's passout from behind the Harvard cage. After the Crimson had tied it at 18:59 of the opening stanza, Laub drove home a 30-footer near the end of the mid- dle period. TTie Cantabs tied it once more at 12:19, thus setting the stage for Brown's final flourish. The Bruin Cubs made the evening com- plete by defeating the Harvard first year men, 3-2. Playing the next two games away from home, the Bruins lost to Princeton's sur- prising Tigers, 5-0, and to Army, 5-1. After the first 15 games, the Bruins had an 8-7 mark. A Basketball Reversal "We weren't gathering in the re- bounds." That failure, in the opinion of Coach Stan Ward, was why the Brown basketball team ended 1959 with only three victories in nine starts. The Bruins, who had begun their campaign in an op- timistic mood, won two of their first three games, including impressive decisions against Tufts and a strong Rhode Island five. But then they went into a tail spin, posting only a win over Springfield while losing to Providence College f84-53), Yale (83-63), Georgetown (82-65), Boston Uni- versity (77-58), and Canisius (76-66). With the Ivy League campaign getting under way in earnest after the Christmas holidays. Ward was still working on the rebounding department. He pointed out that the loss of last year's captain, Al Poulsen (6-8). one of the best Ivy re- bounders, had been felt keenly at the out- set. "Some of our new men have had trou- ble learning how to get position under the boards, while some of the veterans haven't been nearly aggressive enough," the coach said. It was obvious that the Bears had not been able to jell, although a series of in- juries to key personnel might have been a factor in slowing down progress in this department. Roger Hurley, Junior guard, missed three games with a bad ankle, Ehr- lich was hobbled for a bit and was one of those who played while still below par physically. On some of their good nights, the Bruins showed enough potential to sug- gest that they may click in the new year, but it would take more aggressive play and a stouter defense to do so. One of the bright features was the play of Sophomore Mike Cingiser (6-4) from West Hempstead. N. Y. "Cingiser is defi- nitely the best Sophomore I've had in my six years at Brown," Ward says, "and he may well become one of Brown's all-time greats." Mike is fast and strong, with a great repertoire of shots. He scored 379 points for the Cubs a year ago while aver- aging better than 20 points per game. Play- ing outside, along with Hurley, he paced the Bears in scoring in the first eight games this year with 120 points and a 15-point average. Forrest Broman (6-4), Junior from West Bridgewater, Mass., finally began to hit his stride. The highest high school scorer ever to come out of Massachusetts, Broman always had a good shooting eye, but until this season he had trouble with his ball-control and defense. He had two good nights this season, getting 18 against Springfield and 20 against Georgetown. Greg Heath (6-5). Sophomore center from Atlantic Highlands. N. J., exhibited great potential. With more seasoning. Heath could be a fine center. The Bruins stayed close to the nation- ally-famous Providence five for the first 12 minutes. At that point the Friars led 16-15, but, paced by their 6-10 Sopho- more, Jim Hadnot. who had 20 points for the night, they were able to control the game in its later stages. Heath led the Brown scoring with nine points. Against Springfield. Health and Cingiser got the Bruins rolling after an early deficit. Heath had 16 points, Cingiser 21, while three other Bears ended in double figures, Bro- man (18). Ehrlich (11), and Kallas (lOj. Coach Ward felt that his team played its worst ball of the season in the next three tilts, first against Yale and then, in the annual Providence College tournament, against B.U. The Elis controlled the game by controlling the boards against the taller Bears, though Cingiser had 20 for Brown. In the opener of the Christmas tourney. Brown led a good Georgetown team by 1 1 points early in the game and 36-35 at half- time before losing by 17. Ward used a box zone defense and shut off Brian Sheehan. the top scorer and playmaker, with one field goal for the first 27 minutes. How- ever, when the Bruins fell behind and had to come out of this defense, the much faster Hoyas ran away with the game. Broman had 20 and Ehrlich 10. Against FEBRUARY 1960 27 Boston I'niversily in the consolation game. Brown tell before the Terriers" greater agility and sharper shooting from the out- side. .■X collapsing zone defense set up by Boston prevented the Bears from getting many good shots and limited them to the second lowest scoring total of the season. The top scorers after eight games were as follows: Cingiser (120), Ehrlich (88). Heath (79). Reed (74). Broman (66). and Hurley (.'^S). Brown looked much better in Buffalo before heading back to the Hill after the holidays. Returning to his Alma Mater. Ward cheered his team on to a 41-36 lead early in the second half, as the Bears wiped out a four-point deficit. But the re- bounding department hurt again as Canisius recovered. Brown was shooting well, but the home team picked off 57 rebounds against only .^7. Cingiser. Reed. Heath, and Hurley all hit for double figures, but the reserves were scoreless. The improvement exhibited in Buffalo continued in the next three games as the Bruins, plaving at home, defeated Penn (63-62). Princeton (79-61 ). and Yale (94- 89) in double overtime. These three wins gave Brown an over-all record of 6-6 and a 3-1 Ivy mark, good for the spot of run- ner-up to Dartmouth in the standings on Jan. 15. The victory over Penn was a crucial one. .\fter losing four straight, the Bears tossed away countless opportunities and fell be- hind the Quakers 62-59 with 15 seconds to play. Many of the fans were leaving the Gym when Ehrlich sank a jump shot with 10 seconds left. All that Penn had to do was to retain possession. It didnt. As Penn attempted to pass out against Brown's full- court press, the ball was deflected to Ehr- lich. who tossed in another jumper to win the game. Psychologically, this may have been the spur the unseasoned Bruins needed. They lived up to their potential the next night against the Tigers. After holding a 39-34 lead at halftime. Brown broke the game wide open by using a full-court press dur- ing the final 20 minutes. Ehrlich was named Ivy League player of the week for his work in those two games. The 94-89 double-overtime decision over Yale was rated by the fans as one of the most exciting contests Marvel Gym has ever seen. With three minutes to go. Brown held what seemed a safe 11 -point lead, but the Elis took advantage of errors and earned a 77-77 tie. Their last six points came in the last 32 seconds. Though the Bears again went ahead in the first over- time. 85-79. Yale picked off several Brown passes and tied it 85-85 with 29 seconds left. In the second extra session, Yale moved in front by four only to have Bel- lavance come off the bench and spark a brilliant nine-point rally that left even Ward limp. The Cubs won three of their first five games. The wins were against Boston Col- lege (63-62), Rhode Island (66-63), and' Newport Navy (62-57). Defeats were ad- ministered by Tufts (75-56) and Provi- dence (61-59). Bill Oellrich of Park Ridge, N. J., paced the scorers with 96 points. •■2 -'■2 ill Swimming Joe W.\tmough"s swimming team brought its record up to 2-2 with a 50-45 victory over Penn. following a 60-35 loss to Princeton. Earlier in the year, the Bears had defeated Columbia (50-45) and lost to Navy (54-41 ). Capt. Ed Nicholson was the only Bruin to have much luck in the los.s at Princeton. He swept both the 50 and 100-yard free- style events and shared in the victory posted by the 400-yard freestyle medley relay. Coach Watmough's decision to hold Nicholson out of the 100-yard freestyle turned out to be the key to the triumph over the Quakers. Tom McMullen and Ed Sampson finished 1-2 in the 100. and a rested Nicholson was able to anchor the 400-yard freestyle relay team that clinched the victory by winning the final event. Earlier. Nicholson had taken the 50-yard freestyle event and had been a member of the winning medley relay team. The Freshman mermen dropped their opening meet of the season to Cranston High. 50-35. A Split on the Mat After shutting out Connecticut, 40-0. in the opening match of the season. Coach Ralph Anderton's wrestlers dropped a 17-11 decision to Springfield, defending New England champions. The contest with Penn, scheduled for the Marvel Gym Dec. 12. was postponed when bad weather pre- vented the Quakers from flying to Provi- dence. It was rescheduled for Jan. 13. Springfield jumped off to an early lead by taking decisions in both the 123 and 130-pound classes. The Bruins came back strong and took the lead as Gene Bouley gained a decision at 137 and Sophomore Bart Mosser (147) pinned his opponent in 1:58 of the second period with a reverse half-nelson with crotch. The Gymnasts, ART GIORGINI however, wrapped it up with decisions at 157 and 167 and a fall by their captain. Ralph DiMuccio of Providence, at 17" pounds. Brown's other points were scored when Capt. Art Giorgini decisioned his opponent in the unlimited division. Mosser. the strong Sophomore from Bethlehem, 'Pa., had yet to lose a wrestling bout in college. Undefeated as a Freshman, he pinned his man in short order in the first two Varsity tests this season. The Cubs defeated Cranston High School, 23-3. in their first outing.

This time, on Dec. 4, it was the 30th anniversary of the installation of the Brown chapter ( Rhode Island Phi). It was observed at a dinner at the Ledgemont Country Club in which University officers were invited to join with Pi Lams in their festivities. Again Samuel Temkin '19 was prom- inent in the arrangements and in the pro- ceedings. As one of the speakers, he pointed to the chapter's proud record, not only as the Campus leader in scholarship but in other fields which had contributed to undergraduate life at Brown. He ex- pressed the gratitude of Pi Lambda Phi to the late Charles P. Sisson '11 and to Chan- cellor Harold B. Tanner '09 (present at the head table ) and other University offi- cers who had helped welcome the frater- nity to Brown. Without resort to the photo- static documents of the past, he touched on historic episodes and on individual and chapter achievement. Another member of the National Ex- ecutive Council, its former Chairman, Wil- liam Melniker, Vice-President of Loew's International, brought the greetings of the national fraternity. But the "vice-president in charge of nostalgia" was Nathaniel H. Gates '30. As one of the undergraduate founders of Phi Chapter, he recalled high- PRINCIPALS at Pi Lambda Phi's 30th anniversary banquet: Left to right, seated — Harvey Burstein, National Vice-President, Dean E. R. Durgin, Samuel Temkin '19, Sidney Marks '43, Chancellor Harold B. Tanner '09. Standing — Arthur Markoff '44, William Melniker, former Chairman of the Notional Council, Dean Charles Watts, Theodore F. Low '49, Nathaniel Gates '30, and Stephen Kramer '60. lights of that adventure in a colorful, amusing way. "Pi Lam was born in strife and courage," he said. "You can be proud that a good chapter had good beginnings." The principal speaker. Dean Watts, was also the philosopher, with resort to time's dimension: "The future has become the present, for more practical purposes. What will it do to the creative mind'?" "Morality needs the past to grow on," he added. "Where may the idealist find lodging in this fraternity and others'?" He offered his own and President Keeney's compli- ments. Other speakers were T. F. Low '49, co- chairman of the general alumni commit- tee; Toastmaster Sidney Marks '43, Chan- cellor Tanner, Dean E. R. Durgin. Stephen Kramer '60. undergraduate Re.x. the Chap- ter Advisor, Arthur Markoff '44. and Max Grant '13, an honorary member. The last spoke of his appreciation of the Univer- sity as a liberal institution and of the need for liberalism in fraternities. Stanley Blacher "47 was co-chairman with Low, Others on the committee were: Howard Brown '39, Stephen Kass '61, Conrad Fleisher '48, William Mayer '50, Marvin Catler '53, Kramer, and Temkin. Alumni from six States were present as well as Harvey Burstein, Vice-President, and other national figures in Pi Lam. Brunonians Far and Near EDITED BY JAY BARRY '50 1893 EDWARD H. Weeks was honored recently by the Providence Rotary Club, of which he is a Past President and to which he has given "long and distinguished serv- ice." He was named an honorary member and given a gold pen and pencil set. Dur- ing the presentation, the Rotary spokesman recalled that Weeks had not only been a prominent banker but had changed the character of baseball by being the first first baseman ever to take a fielding posi- tion away from the bag. The late Fred Tenney '94 followed the Weeks style and became one of the greatest first basemen in pro ball, though he had been catcher on Weeks' team at Brown. Daniel Howard was honored at the De- cember meeting of the Hartford Brown Club as a man "who continues to astonish us by your undiminished vigor and your keen and unflagging interest in life." The citation read in part: "At a time when it is customary for nonagenarians to relax by the fireside your thirst for knowledge and adventure led you to travel, unac- companied, thousands of miles by auto- mobile, train, ocean liner, and jet plane to Russia, where you surveyed the educa- tional system of that country. Even before you matriculated at Brown, you began your career in education as a teacher. Soon after you graduated your talents as an ad- ministrator were quickly recognized and you served with distinction as school super- intendent for half a century. You helped to mold the lives of generations of your students and have seen them become good citizens and leaders in communities in many states of the Union." 1895 Theron Clark's diary includes daily comments on topics spiritual and religious. From them he has come to make excerpts for monthly mimeographing, which his friends appreciate. December's collection was number 31. Clark continues a faith- ful Brunonian correspondent from 2335 Fair Park Ave., Los Angeles 41. 1897 "Frank O. Jones, you have been 'ever true to Brown' for more than half a cen- tury." This was the lead sentence in a citation presented to Jones at the Decem- ber meeting of the Hartford Brown Club. The citation noted that he was a charter member of the Connecticut Valley Brown Club 60 years ago and a moving spirit in the formation of the Hartford Brown Club. Noting his contributions to education, the citation read: "As an educator, you were not content to fulfill your destiny as an administrator, so faithful to your trust that a school was dedicated to perpetuate your good name. Long before Sputnik you were a pioneer in the movement to seek out not only the gifted, but also the handicapped child, and to minister to him according to his special needs. Through the years you have given of yourself to countless causes that have enriched the community in which you live and brought credit to your Alma Mater." Charles L. F. Paull is now living at 2743 Acoma St., Englewood, Colo., but this represents far more than a change of address. His former home was in the path of new highway construction, and the move after 36 years of residence was com- FEBRUARY 1960 29 THIS PHOTO of College Hill, by Robert W. Watson '58, went to each member of 1909 with Christmas greetings and New Year's wishes. "With pleasant recollections of our 50th reunion to each '09er from every other classmate," said the legend. pulsory. In the last weeks at the old house on South Natches Court, he suffered ill- ness, attacks on the property by hoodlums, a five-day blizzard that cut off phone and lights for 36 hours, and other hardships. He managed to give away to friends hun- dreds of his valuable plants before the bulldozers took over. "I have no desire to return, even for a last look," Paul says but is philosophical: "I fooled my physi- cian. Maybe I'll fly east next spring." 1899 When thoughtful letters to the editor appear in the Bridgeport Post from time to time, not many persons know that he who writes as "Dulcifier" is J. W. Dows. One recent letter, urging better teaching in pre- college classes, drew upon his own ex- perience as a supervisor among country schools in Connecticut. Over a teacher's protests that you could not teach algebra to "little children," he took the class of 20 (ages 8 to 14) and found they could solve problems for him. "Dulcifier" feels that students could progress far faster than they are permitted or encouraged to do. 1901 Prof. Arthur I. Andrews took an active part in the 25th anniversary of the Insti- tute of World Affairs in Warner, N. H. He has been a leader in the planning and ex- ecution of its programs from the start and is currently Editor of Publications. The 1959 sessions were part of World Refugee Year. 1902 J. Cunliffe Bullock had been Treasurer of Roger Williams General Hospital in Providence for 34 years when he retired in December. Extensive additions to plant and other remarkable growth have been recorded during his tenure. The hospital today has an operating budget of more than two million dollars. Bullock received tributes from staff and corporation; he continues as a Board member. 1905 Since his retirement, Ralph Johnson has been active as a Trustee of Wayland Academy, Beaver Dam, Wis., which was his own preparatory school. He is also a Trustee of the Allendale School for Boys, Rochester, N. Y. The students of the latter school are, for the most part, either or- phans or boys from broken homes. 1906 Dr. and Mrs. Alex M. Burgess went to Israel in December at the request of the Trustees of Miriam Hospital in Providence. Dr. Burgess, Director of Education at the Hospital, made the trip to study medical education in Israel and assist in an ex- change of medical specialists. He said: "This type of exchange on the professional level is one of the best methods of insur- ing international understanding. We hope this pilot project will be repeated by other American hospitals with hospitals of a similar type in other countries." 1907 "To be the spiritual leader of a people for 50 years is a rare privilege, but to conclude that leadership with the ex- pectancy of additional years of Christian service still to come is even more unusual." The quotation from the Norristown, Pa., Times-Herald refers to the Rev. Levi S. Hoffman, who in December withdrew from active duty as Minister of the Central Schwenkfelder Church, Worcester, Pa. He went there as supply pastor in 1909. After he took over as regular minister in 1910 he began the work of unifying, instead of dividing the parish as proposed, and of building Central Schwenkfelder Church, dedicated in 1951. It is one of the beautiful churches of the country. Under our class- mate's "sincere, devoted leadership the union of all the organizations became a consecrated whole, which now exists; the membership has doubled, and the activities trebled." Now Hoffman will continue as Minister of the church but free of daily duties with time his own to carry on work in which he is especially interested. Norman F.

Hoke Horton received an interesting "confession" from Win Greene, some of which might be of interest to Classmates: "My work has two aspects. On the one hand I am a broker placing reinsurance contracts between American companies and the London market and in other parts of the world. I am also a consulting actuary, doing my best to solve various kinds of puzzles for casualty and fire in- surance companies — there is a lot of fun involved in both kinds of work." Win and Mrs. Greene live in Fordham Hills, in the University Heights section of New York City, and, from their windows on the 15th floor have a clear view of George Washington Bridge, the Palisades. Hudson River, and all the tall downtown buildings of the city. 1912 Dr. W. Randolph Burgess, permanent U.S. Representative to the North Atlantic Council. Paris.

Neighbor and Trustee HOBiiRr Hali; Ives Goddard," said one of the honorary degree citations for a Brown LL.D. last June, "for two decades you have served Brown with aid and counsel as your family has served this University since its very birth and indeed before its conception. Your love for an- cient beauty is reinforced by a thorough understanding of the tradition which pro- duced it, and vitalized by your clean grasp of the present and future needs of our society. Above all, your integrity in public and private affairs provides us all with an example of happy rectitude which is a living sermon." The University flag flew at half-mast on Nov. 20, for R. H. I. Goddard had died the night before. It was ironic that on that same evening his son and namesake had presided over a victory meeting of the United Fund in Providence, having been Chairman for its campaign that raised an over-quota $2,214,000. Mr. Goddard had been more than an interested neighbor of the University. A Trustee since 1946, he had current ap- pointment to the Advisory and Executive Committee of the Brown Corporation: he was also an active member of the Invest- ment Committee. His home was the his- toric Thomas Poynton Ives mansion at 66 Power St., on the corner of Brown St. op- posite the President's House. In his will. Colonel Goddard specified that the Ives House remain a residence during the life- time for his widow and his son. There- after, the house would become the prop- erty of the University, with the hope expressed that Brown would preserve the 1806 structure and open some of the rooms for housing guests of the Univer- sity. Goddard was 27 when he became a parlncr m the firm of Brown and Ives, established in 1791 as a partnership by Thomas Poynton Ives, his great-grand- father, and Nicholas Brown, Jr. The for- mer was a Brown Trustee from 1793 to 1835; the latter, a graduate in 1786, was the University Treasurer whose benefac- tions led to the change of the name of Rhode Island College to Brown Univer- sity. Headquarters of Brown and Ives and other interests related to the Goddard en- terprises was the notable Colonial build- ing, 50 South Main Street, held by the Counting House Corporation until its transfer to Brown University some years ago. There were other Brown University connections, too: His grandfather, Wil- liam Giles Goddard, was a famous Pro- fes.sor in the 19th century. Another Wil- liam Goddard, a graduate in 1846, was Chancellor from 1888 to 1907 and is com- memorated by the gates near Rhode Is- land Hall. Mr. Goddard's extensive interests in the textile business included important po- sitions in Goddard Brothers, cotton agents closely associated with Brown and Ives. He was an officer or director of more than 20 companies and corporations, railroads, util- ities, banks, insurance firms, and land de- velopment interests. "Although he was shy, he was never aloof," said the Providence Journal, "and there have been numerous testimonies to his kindliness, impeccable manners, and personal modesty. He was born to a high position in life, but he seemed constantly aware of the responsibilities that position entailed." He had been Senior Warden of St. Stephen's Church, where his funeral was held.
