There was something so human, as well as decorative, about the picture that we chose it for our cover from some 700 fine shots by the Brown Photo Lab. Its crew did another great job and should be credited for any picture this month not otherwise noted. Faunce admirers . . . A NUMBER OF ALUMNI Were in the group talking about tlie pleasure which John D. Rockefeller, Jr., "97 took in his Brown contacts. Brenton G. Smith '11 re- called that he had been President of the New York Brown Club at an annual din- ner when Mr. Rockefeller was the princi- pal speaker. The younger man wondered what to talk about while they sat side by side at the head table but was sure they both admired "Prexy" Faunce, who'd been minister at the church which the Rocke- fellers attended. "When Dr. Faunce came to Brown as President," Brent suggested, "he brought with him many of his ministerial ways; he was hard to get to know at first. But he became more and more 'human' as the years went by. In fact, after a while, 'Prexy' had changed so much that he was very popular with the students and the alumni. Mr. Rockefeller had listened in silence, but he smiled at the end and made only this comment: " 'Prexy' Faunce didn't change. You just grew up, that's all." > BEHIND 7-0 in the early innings against Army on a May Friday in Providence, the Brown baseball team thought itself lucky that the rain came before it was an official game. The Brunonians were elated when Army agreed to come back on Monday for a replay, for it seemed to provide a brand new chance. However, someone discovered that, instead of calling for a fresh start, the Eastern League rules required that play resume at the point of the interruption. On Monday the Army pitcher was tak- ing plenty of time when a Brown jockey in the stands called out: "Hey Ump! Can't you hurry up that pitcher? This game has lasted four days already." > "WORTH ANOTHER THOUGHT" WaS the heading Charles Lee of the Pennsylvania Gazette used over a quotation from Politi- cal Freedom by Dr. Alexander Meikle- john '93: "To be afraid of ideas, any idea, is to be unfit for self-government." The olden times . . . > A VISITOR from the University of Edin- burgh, Dr. Angus Macintosh, was telling some Brown Professors about a family custom that called for a chat with the youngest child each night before bed. "What shall we talk about tonight?" he would say, and the answer from the four- year-old might be "Cabbages," or "Ice- bergs," or "Clocks." One night the dia- logue went something like this: "What shall we talk about tonight, my dear?" "Let's talk about the olden times. Daddy." "Very well, but you must know that they were very different. There were, for example, no autos in the olden times." "I know that. People had horses." "And there were no railroads." "Of course, people rode in coaches." "And, in the olden times, this was be- fore they had any radios." "Yes, people had to watch television." "No, my dear, there was not even tele- vision in the olden times." "Really, Daddy? Whatever did people watch?" > BACK IN THE PLACID DAYS of March, some Soviet scientists and educators were visiting at N.Y.U., wearing lapel badges which proclaimed "Peace," in Russian. One of the questions posed by the Rus- sians was this, the N.Y.U. Alumni News reported: "Do you have a day in the year when you bring back past graduates to meet old professors and the present stu- dents and drink a little Vodka together?" > THE STUDENT WAITED until after class and said to the Brown Professor: "I see my father reviewed your latest book." "That makes us even," said the Professor. "I reviewed something last night that you had written, and it wasn't very good, either." > PRESIDENT KEENEY, announcing some changes in the chairmanship of several Brown Departments recently, reminded the Faculty that rotation of such duties among various individuals was encouraged by official policy. He had suggested that this applied to all Departments. Later a visitor to the President's office asked if the policy applied to Astronomy, too (a one-man Department). For an- swer Dr. Keeney showed a carbon of a letter to Prof. Charles H. Smiley: "In' connection with the policy of rotating De- partment Chairmen, you are hereby re- lieved as Chairman of the Department of Astronomy effective June 30, 1960, and appointed Chairman of the Department of Astronomy effective July 1, 1960. I have enjoyed serving with you throughout these years and look forward to your new and vigorous administration." > DOWN AT CHAPEL HILL, the University of North Carolina has given some pub- licity of late to this statement: "A uni- versity which has all it wants has already begun to decline, and a president of a university who is not always wanting something should hand in his resignation." It is interesting that the gentleman who made this remark did so in 1903 and has been an outstanding benefactor of his Alma Mater for more than 60 years. > IBM is one of those corporations which generously matches the contributions made to their Alma Maters by the college men it employs. One of them sent his own check to the Alumni Fund at the Univer- sity of Rhode Island, aware that URI would get a second check in the same amount from the company. His note said: "It hardly seems fair — letting IBM beat its own brain." For his 25th . . . > WE WERE IMPRESSED with the Comment of a New Englander who had been looking forward to returning to the West Coast for the 25th reunion of his Class. And then they sent him the program of events for it: a barbecue, a bus tour, a step sing, a cocktail party, a dinner dance, an alumni-varsity football game to climax spring practice, a fashion show for the wives, etc. The alumnus snorted. "If that's what they arrange for me," he said, "they don't think I'm very important." He stayed home. > THE 25-YEAR-CLASS at another institu- tion was being surveyed in anticipation of the big reunion this year. One part of the questionnaire asked each individual to list his "most favorite professor." It was in- teresting that 118 teachers should be listed in some 250 replies, though one respondent said, sadly: "Hardly knew any." > EDWARD R. PLACE '24, back in Washing- ton, was promptly elected President of the local Phi Beta Kappa group, a post he'd held there some years ago. He re- ported that a couple of students were rid- ing a bus to school and one was heard to ask: "Is you did your Greek homework?" > SINCE HE READS his own newspaper. General Manager William A. Dyer, Jr., saw the item in the Indianapolis News about an interesting imposter who had been brought to trial the day before. The name and the photo were familiar, be- cause the man had phoned Dyer seven or eight years ago to offer lunch to a "fel- low Brown man." During the meal at the Athletic Club, the stranger alleged that he was a member of the Class of 1924 and a Deke at Brown. "That kind of up- set the applecart," Dyer says, "for I was both and didn't remember him." (Continued on page 107) COMMENCEMENT It returns with all the regularity of noons and seasons, but always there is a quality of newness about its rites. 4 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY ^IXTY YEARS AGO, in June of 1900, the Brown AlKiiuii ^ Monthly was born, and the infant's first words were: "It is expected that an unusually large number of Brown alumni will return to participate in the exercises of Commencement Week." And a sentimental ballad a month later began: "In solemn double file / The grave alumni go, / Descending still the shaded hill / With serious step and slow. / The morning breezes swell / The old Commencement tune / That turns the heart with gentlest art / To many a distant June." More recently, we said: "Once again the sun was radiant on a morning in June when it mattered so much. Once again Providence was in festival, and the curbstone spectators were our friends in the continuing compatibility of Town and Gown. Once again, the alumni, who had been back on the Hill for the perennial reunion with their contemporaries and their past, were in line, feeling and being tradition. Once again the bell rang. Once again the bands played that sweet monotony which means so much to those who know it (and, knowing it, never forget). Once again the gates at the top of College Hill opened out, content with another Class which Brown was giving to the world. Once again there were thou- sands on The College Green as witnesses robed in pride. Once again each Senior climbed the platform, approached the President, and received a diploma as the latter sat once again in the 'Manning Chair.' " // fVas the 192nd Commencement We're still in business at the old stand, once again moved by it all, although in 1960 it was the 192nd annual Com- mencement for Brown University. But it was the first time for 715 who received their Bachelor's degrees— 525 men and 190 women. It was one of the largest graduating Classes in Brown history which wore its robes, rejoiced at another in the sequence of sun-blessed days, and bowed to the agreeable tyranny of tradition. They marched to the Meeting House with their alumni escort and returned to The College Green to receive their diplomas. And so, though Commencement returns with the regularity of noons and seasons, it is always with a quality of unique- ness, a sense of newness. It's always a good Commencement, but this, surely, was one of the best. The unbelievable fortune of the University with BROWN UNIVERSITY DIPLOMAS this June were inscribed with the signature of the great-grandson of Nicholas Brown, for whom the University was named. In his capacity as Assist- ant Secretary of the Corporation, John Nicholas Brown signed his name 900 times. The desk and clock in University Holl once belonged to Brown's first President, Dr. James Manning. JULY 1960 respect to weather held for one more year, lending new cur- rency to the ancient saw, "God must be a Brown man." On Friday afternoon many of the Class Day audience stayed literally "under the elms," because the sunshine was so strong upon the formal rows. That night the rains came — but, thoughtfully, a half hour after the Campus Dance had ended. Saturday was more wet than not, but a useful day for all that, since there was enough canvas at the Field Day on Aldrich- Dexter to provide refuge as well as rendezvous. But Sunday and Monday were — just beautiful. And all were grateful, parents proud and Professors content. Seniors taking leave and alumni in reunion. The elements that made up Commencement in 1960 were familiar; Senior Dinner, Class Day, Dean's Reception, Alumni Dinner, Campus Dance, Alumni Field Day, Baccalaureate Service, President's Reception, Graduate Convocation, Senior Orations in the Meeting House, the Graduation, and the Commencement Luncheon. But we can't dismiss so much with just that: there is point in noting the norm and reporting where we varied a bit here and there. What Seniors Said-iii 1769 ami 1960 Each year when the alumni escort the graduates to the door of the Meeting House there is new wisdom within. In 1769 (before Brown was Brown or had moved to Providence, of course) a Senior Orator had protested that Britain was "wresting our money from us without our consent. . . . Your countenances indicate the patriotic feelings of your breasts, and with one voice you declare, that America Shall be free!" In I960 a Senior (James M. Hittle of Indianapolis) said Americans demand security but are generally unwilling to make an effort to assure it. Hittle pointed to the U2 spy-plane incident as an example of how little most Americans know of what is going on in their government. He reported that, in a poll of 125 students, not one had mentioned government service or politics as a possible career. "We reach adult life with an underlying dis- trust of our Government," he said. "Moreover, the sheer scope of government, especially on a Federal level, has a dis- couraging effect on the individual. Upon surveying an ever- widening separation between government and governed, one is tempted to throw up his hands in despair and to resign himself passively to a future that he cannot control." Compulsion is not traditional in a free society, he con- cluded. To compel everyone to devote his life to politics is not the answer. But it is only with the knowledge of the problems of our Government that its people can make it strong. The second Senior spokesman was Miss Louise G. Patton of Leesburg, Va., who was concerned by the fact that the in- dividual who selects his own course is punished as a non- conformist. "It seems that once a pattern gets established, no matter how crooked or wrong it is. we accept it as legitimate." she said. It is time to take a look at life with the critical gaze of the artist, she thought, asking: "Do we no longer protest the loss of our integrity and individuality?" Is the Morning Getting Too Loug? Concern has properly been expressed over the lengthening of the Commencement morning, and it does seem as though there were areas when dispatch might be achieved but is not. One new experiment was to have the Seniors enter by more than the front portal of the Meeting House. Another was to convert the double file of the return to the Hilltop into a column of four. There arrived and established, the Seniors were called to the platform before University Hall to receive their diplomas. As Pembroke led off. Dean Nancy Duke Lewis presented each candidate to President Keeney. He continued to sit in the so-called "Manning Chair" while Dean Charles H. Watts identified each Brown Senior in turn. With a quick change from cap and gown into military dress uniform, 50 ROTC men later returned in formation to take their oath and receive their commissions as officers in the Air Force, Marines, or Navy. In this ceremony Rear Adm. Carl F. Espe was the senior officer present, assisted by Capt. Norman D. Johnson, USN, and Lt. Col. George W. Hutche- son, USAF. The first major event of the Commencement period at Brown was the Senior Dinner, an evening that combined sentiment, levity, and counsel. Although President Keeney spoke briefly ("You don't have to stop learning now"), the principal speaker was Dean Watts, who drew on literature for illustrations of his point: "The best gift given to man, if the most frustrating, is his capacity to reflect upon the world and. in that reflecting, to change it." He was sorry, he said, for those who would avoid involvement with the world; others, however, would "persist in believing that men may, by acts of will, direct their destinies. "How well you will succeed in so directing \ours depends not only upon how much fire you have in your belly, how much courage you have, but also upon how well you under- stand the world. We have tried in the last four years to give you the necessary information and have even tried sur- reptitiously to give you that courage." The Senior President, Hugh G. Carmichael, was another speaker, who also cited those who had received Varsity letters BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY during their College careers. Representatives of two alumni Classes were also invited to the platform to accord recogni- tion to two Seniors: Alfred H. Gurney presented the Class of 1907 Award to Clifford Ehrlich for "academic achievement, athletic ability, and leadership contributions." Ralph M. Palmer gave the 1910 Bowl to Paul Choquette as the ranking scholar on the Varsity football team. "Under the Elms" on Class Day The next afternoon was the Seniors', too. They donned caps and gowns for the first time for the exercises "under the elms" and, in their own way, continued a tradition more than a cen- tury old. Yet, it had its contemporary aspects, for President Keeney's address dwelt on reaction to the U2 spy incident: "The people of the United States have behaved in a stupid and self-righteous manner," he said. "They have displayed a thorough naivete about the facts of international life. "Nathan Hale was a spy for this country against the British in the American Revolution and was hanged as a spy. It is NEW ENSIGNS were commissioned by Rear Admiral Carl F. Espe. JULY I960 curious that, although every schoolboy knows the story of Hale, few American adults carry over their admiration for the hero into their thinking about current events." The Rus- sians, he said, capitalized on the initial American reaction of "horror" to the air-borne spying of a modern Hale. John Nicholas Brown's delightful venture into aesthetics, "The Importance of the Visual," drew upon the immediately visual for its examples — the architecture about The College Green. His paper is reproduced elsewhere in this issue. Senior participants in the program were President Carmichael and Historian Robert Sugarman. By now, the alumni had arrived on College Hill for the re- unions about which we have had only enthusiastic reports from all the quinquennials, as well as the "off-years." There were many gatherings before the Chapel Bell rang to an- nounce the Alumni Dinner in Sharpe Refectory, a hall of many handshakes and great fellowship. This year there were no "outside" speakers, and it was a family party more than ever — and a large one, too. (Some June the tables to the right of the head table will surely meet with those to the left as they extend out of sight around the central service area.) Of special interest was the sight of more of the photo murals which the Classes have provided to decorate the Commons area: the new ones in 1960 are fine additions, selected by Nathaniel Chase's committee. For Notable Alumni Service The Brown Bear Awards for 1960 went to C. Arthur Braitsch '23 of Providence and Edwin M. Murphy '19 of Boston, each of them being recognized for outstanding alumni service. It was the 20th anniversary of the creation of the award by the Brown Club of New York, which turned over the model and the prerogatives of sponsorship to the Associ- ated Alumni in 1946. The Alumni President, C. Manton Eddy '22, read the citations and presented the bear statuettes as one of his pleasant duties as presiding officer at the Alumni Din- ner. Both choices were roundly applauded by the diners. The citations follow: "Charles Arthur Braitsch: One-time member of the English Faculty of Brown University, you have this year rounded out 30 years of intimate association with the Brown Ahiiniii Monthly. You became its Business Manager in 1931 when the Associated Alumni took over the direction of this partisan publication. This labor of love has continued ever since, through your volunteer leadership as a member of the Board of Editors and, since 1948, as its Chairman. Though this is far from the limit of your service to the University, we salute you especially for what you have contributed to the quality, independent spirit, and effectiveness of our magazine. If we are informed about our University and the hopes of the alumni for its future, you must share notably in that achieve- ment and in our affectionate thanks." "Edwin Michael Murphy: When, long ago, you 'put away your spikes,' the spirit of striving for Brown endured within you. Throughout four decades, your ever-willing serv- ice and leadership in the alumni affairs of your community, and in the councils and concerns of our Association, have demonstrated that the University's welfare is indeed your avocation. With deep awareness of your unceasing efforts for Alma Mater, we are happy to bestow this Brown Bear Award." On each Brown Bear is inscribed the words: "Awarded by the Associated Alumni of Brown University . . . (to) a man r THE CORPORATION of Brown University: 1st low, left to I'ght— Judge Allyn L.

'duly qualify'd for discharging the offices of Life with useful- ness and reputation.' "' The quotation, of course, employs the phrasing of the University Charter. In addition to Eddy, who was a felicitous toastmaster, the head table included Chancellor Harold B. Tanner "09, Chap- lain Charles A. Baldwin, and the speakers: President Keeney. Donald G. Millar '19, and J. Angus Thurrott '31. Their state- ments appear elsewhere in this issue. The delegation of Emeriti Professors was perhaps the largest ever to attend the Alumni Dinner, guests of the As- sociated Alumni. Two newcomers, Profs. Robert H. George and Otto van Koppenhagen, joined their seniors: K. Brooke Anderson, Samuel J. Berard, Charles W. Brown '00, Benja- min C. Clough. C. Emanuel Ekstrom '16. Ray E. Gilman, Alfred Herrmann, Paul N. Kistler, Will S. Taylor, and Henry B. Van Hoesen. Others of the emeriti, like L. T. Bohl '13, Walter H. Snell, and F. N. Tompkins '18, chose to sit with their classmates. All, however, were saluted from the head table and by the applause of the dining alumni, as well as in personal greetings from former students. Saturday's Audiences Were Grateful The usual dilemma was present on Saturday morning. If the first night of reunion and the gayeties of the Campus Dance had lasted long, it took a determined soul to respond to the intellectual stimulus of "The Hour with the Faculty" even by 1 1 o'clock. Some Class activities interfere, too. But those who attend know this is a rewarding session, growing in popularity each year. It was true again for 150 who listened in 1960 to Profs. Forrest McDonald of the Depart- ment of History and Ronald Probstein of the Division of Engineering. The former spoke on "What Education Can Accomplish," a lively talk which we hope may be recon- structed for use in the autumn. Professor Probstein's paper on "Vacations on the Moon" is in type for more immediate use. At the same time another group was hearing a frank dis- cussion of today's students by Chaplain Charles A. Baldwin; Prof. Henry Kucera. Head Resident Fellow; Prof. I. J. Kap- stein '26; and Football Coach John J. McLaughry '40. Their audience was an unusual one: "There has been increasing feeling that it would be desirable to tie the former members of the Corporation more closely to the University," President Keeney explained. He asked former Vice-President Thomas B. Appleget '17, with C. Douglas Mercer '06 and E. John Lownes, Jr., '23, to organize former Trustees and Fellows which will meet at various times of the year and receive in- formation about University Activity. At the first meeting in June, 22 out of the 40 eligibles attended and were enthusiastic about the new insight they had gained into the University. It was not an open meeting, and we do not pretend to report it. Only one of the participants (all were excellent, we hear) has been able to inform us what he said. He has a loyalty to us as a member of our Board of Editors; Pro- fessor Kapstein, who leaves in August for Viet Nam to be Visiting Professor of American Literature at the University of Saigon for the academic year 1960-61. The lectureship was offered by the U.S. Department of State in an educational exchange program under the Smith-Mundt Act. which sends American scholars to countries not included in the Fulbright program. Professor Kapstein, one of the "two optimists" on the panel, wrote this memo for us: "I told the ex-Trustees that, looking back over the years as far back as my own college days, I could see that the 8 BROWN ALUMNI ^MONTHLY undergraduates at Brown had come a long way forward — that present day students were more intelligent, more re- spectful of intellectual and aesthetic matters, more serious as students. "I pointed to the fact that Admissions gives us better peo- ple. Students themselves arrange for lecturers to come to the Campus (as witness the fact last year that it was student organizations which brought E. E. Cummings and three other poets to the Hill). Students not only maintain a campus literary magazine, but have exhibits of their own paintings, etchings, woodcuts, etc. The term "grind" is no longer heard, to my ears and knowledge at any rate, because everybody (loosely) hits the books hard. In fact, undergraduates take pride in the fact that standards are so high and that they have to work so hard, that students respond to the intellectual stimulation, indeed seek out the intellectual stimulation pro- vided in such 'experimental' programs as the IC courses, the University courses, and the Independent Study courses. "I said lots more, but it was all off the cuff, and some of it was in answer to questions from the group, but it is a fact that I was optimistic for the reasons sketched above." The other "optimist" was Coach McLaughry. The Corporation itself was in session in University Hall all morning, joined for luncheon at the Keeneys by the ex- Trustee group. Another Saturday morning meeting was that of Phi Beta Kappa, transacting its annual business and ini- tiating new members. The Alumnae Association of Pem- broke College was holding its annual meeting and hearing Dr. Glidden L. Brooks, Director of the Institute for Health Sciences at Brown. Field Day Had Everything— Even Rain Threatening weather on Saturday afternoon, June 4, held down the Field Day crowd at Aldrich-Dexter Field to per- haps 2000, but there were enough intervals between the showers to permit most of the activity. When the rain came, people huddled under two large circus-size tents where the Charleston Jazz Band kept things gay. (A lot of enjoyment was provided by this Dixieland combo, one of the musical groups in the organization of Ed Drew '30.) Ten smaller marquees were assigned by reunion classes, and the South Shore Brown Club had similar headquarters, a successful ex- periment in regional initiative. Zeke Marshall's 1929 Packard ambulance came out of retirement after a decade to rally 1950 enthusiasms. There was a softball game between an alumni team and the Faculty All-Stars, who had won the intramural title this spring by beating the best of student nines. Dire threats from the losers keep us from reporting who won. We shall merely recall that someone told a batter he couldn't hit a balloon, but he did. (And had to buy the kid another.) The children were out in force. Between showers, they trooped over for pony rides or crowded into a tractor-drawn trailer for swings around the field with "Gabby" Galinelli, a well known figure from Buildings and Grounds who this day was disguised in the checked regalia of a clown. Indulgent firemen let the kids clamber all over their wonderful engine. With the children occupied with games and refreshments and running, the alumni parents could devote themselves to THEY TALKED FRANKLY about today's undergraduates. Panel members at the meeting of former Trustees were: left to right. Coach McLaughry, Pro- fessors Kopstein and Kucera, and Chaplain Baldwin. Experimental meeting in Hope College Lounge was judged a great success. FORMER MEMBERS of the Brown University Corporation attended their own meeting at Commencement: seated, left to right— Ralph M. Palmer '10, Samuel Temkin '19, Dr. Charles C. Tillinghast '06, Dr. Moses L. Crossley '09, George T. Metcalf '13, Dr. H. Carey Bumpus, Jr., '12, C. Douglas Mercer '06, Roger T. Clapp 19, Dr. Marshall N. Fulton '20; standing— Ronald M. Kimball '18, Chapin S. Newhord '22, Frederick A. Bollou, Jr., '16, Henry G. Clark '07, William P. Burnhom '07, E. John Lownes, Jr., '23, Thomas B. Appleget '17, and Maxwell Barus '10. JULY 1960 SENIOR ALUMNI ot Commencement included, left to right: Senator Theo- dore Francis Green '87 of Washington, D. C., Daniel Howard '93 of Hart- ford, and Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn '93 of Berkeley, Calif. visiting and rambles to inspect the site of Brown's future ath- letic plant. For the first time, the alumni had the full expanse of Al- drich-Dexter for their events and found the turf in good shape after a fine Gammino grading job. Two previous Field Days had been confined more or less to the northwest corner of the 39 acres, where excavation for the Meehan Auditorium had begun. Field Day Chairman Richard Tracy '46 said that, despite weather that was something less than favorable, the event had fulfilled its purpose: to offer a change of pace from the more formal activities of the Week End and an event to which the younger alumni could bring their children without having to supervise them incessantly. "This is the best event of Commencement," said one of the Faculty as he left for home with his youngster after a four-hour outing. The As- sociation of Class Secretaries can take a bow for its sponsor- ship of this new tradition. Mackay: The Most Dynamic Image The Baccalaureate Sermon was given by one of the great preachers of the day, Dr. John A. Mackay, the President Emeritus of Princeton Theological Seminary. "The image of the servant," he told the Seniors, "is the most basic and dynamic image in the Christian religion. Upon the redis- covery and restoration of this image the destiny of contem- porary man depends. In great sectors of democratic society, there exists a widespread reluctance on the part of many persons to commit themselves to anything whatever that is unrelated to self-interest. They decline to give their absolute devotion to anything which demands joyous and creative serv- ice but at great personal cost. They are unwilling to lose them- selves in something bigger than themselves that is linked ad- venturously with the advancement of truth or the betterment of life. The true life, they say, is the secure, detached life of the spectator and not the uncertain life of the pilgrim or crusader. "Only when our personality is surrendered to a supreme object of allegiance is true freedom achieved. Then only," he concluded, "can we fill the vacuum that is being created in the American Way of Life." In addition to the congregation in the Meeting House, several hundred other persons heard Dr. Mackay over the public address system back on The College Green. It is of interest that the sense of participation carries over to the remoter audience to the extent that people stand for the hymns, bow heads for the prayers, and listen as alertly as though they were in the Church. They did seek the shade of the elms, of course, so that they became several congrega- tions instead of one. At the end of the service, the gardens at 55 Power St. were thronged for the President's Reception (everyone thinks of it as Mrs. Keeney's Reception, too, of course). With so many parents present, it's a pleasant op- portunity for new introductions as well as greetings for old friends. Commencement Briefs SENATOR Theodore Francis Green '87 was the representa- tive of the oldest alumni Class at Commencement func- tions. He is said to have missed only one Commencement since his graduation. At the Alumni Dinner, President Keeney called attention to the fact that Senator Green's service on the Brown Corporation began in 1900, a Trustee until 1929, a Fellow ever since. Dr. Keeney doubted that any other person had equalled the Senator's 60 years on the Corporation. The 93-year-old Senator, who will retire this year as the oldest Senator ever to have served in Congress, made of the Mon- day Procession what amounted to a personal reception along the way as friends greeted him. The oldest living graduate, Daniel Howard '93, also kept intact a sequence of Commencement visits to College Hill. His reservation from Hartford was the first of all re- ceived for the Alumni Dinner, and he appropriately held Ticket No. One in consequence. Other seniors among the alumni included Everett Bowen '92, Edward H. Weeks '93, and Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn '93, who came on from Cal- ifornia. President Keeney remarked that Dr. Meiklejohn had been Dean at Brown 59 years ago, numbering among his students many alumni in the Refectory for the Alumni Dinner. How LONG AGO was it that rain last interfered with the Commencement Procession? Someone will undertake a bit of research on the subject, we hope. Members of the Class of 1922 recall that their Commencement morning was stormy, and it may have been the only bad day in 39 years, though there have been some close calls. While sunshine will continue to be desired, it will no longer be as vital once the Meehan Auditorium is up. The University's own staff under Harmon Hyde telecast the Commencement exercises from the First Baptist Meeting House this year, with an undergraduate crew assisting the technical work. Several hundred who watched over the closed circuit to Faunce House, Alumnae Hall, and Hunter Labora- tory agreed that the coverage had been excellent, with imag- inative camera work, alert editing, and good audio. A lighter element came at the end when the Seniors were leaving the Church: The Faculty major domo, Prof. Leslie Allen Jones, could be heard marshaling them with such exhortations as: "Let's go! Keep moving! Keep those aisles open! Let's get out of here!" The TV crew later gave a demonstration of edu- cational closed circuit instruction in a Rhode Island School, telecasting a lecture demonstration by Prof. Philip Bray '48. Fifty years apart in graduation were Elmer S. Horton '10, who received an honorary degree, and his grandson. Rockwell Gray, Jr., '60, a magna cum laude student. The latter has received two fellowships for graduate work abroad and in this country. Rockwell Gray '34 is his father. 10 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY ANNUAL GIVING: A Good Showing How DO YOU MEASURE a success? The fact was this: the Brown University Fund had reached $294,196 by the night of the Alumni Dinner, June 3, when Chairman J. Angus Thurrott '31 announced gifts to date from 4404 contributors. The comparison was this: the total was not yet half of what it was in 1959. Nevertheless, the general comment was this: this was more than a very decent showing, a considerable achievement. How could you call it a success? The explanation is this, repeated for the benefit of those who came in late: The 1960 annual-giving campaign of the Brown University Fund had been conducted only among 3 of 5 Brown men. During the same period, gifts and pledges were being sought in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts for Brown's Bicentennial Development Program. Alumni there were not solicited for the Brown University Fund. Elsewhere in the country, from 15 to 20% of the alumni were being ap- proached as special gift prospects for the Bicentennial Fund. These men were not solicited for Brown University Fund, for no one was being asked to contribute to both funds in the same academic year. When, therefore, you consider that only 12,475 of about 20,000 alumni were available for solicitation in the annual giving drive, then 4404 contributions with a month remain- ing was a fair response. When you consider that men who had been among the most generous in the past to the Brown Uni- versity Fund were this year listed, instead, as donors or prospects in the capital effort, then the $294,196 was a solid achievement, again with a month to go. (We shall not be able to give you the final total until our first autumn issue, in October.) Chairman Thurrott had hoped to report a larger figure and professed to be disappointed. But, if others in the Sharpe Re- fectory that night shared his disappointment, they promptly forgot it when another spokesman announced that the total of the Bicenntennial Fund stood at $9,120,469. After all, the Brown University Fund had gone into its 1960 campaign with one hand tied. Because of the start of the capital gifts campaign, this was a year of experiment for He Was with Them in Spirit IT MEANT A LOT to the Class of 1960 to have a message from Stephen A. Ogden, Jr., on the eve of Com- mencement. To know the whole story is to understand why his classmates received with emotion the words of one who had expected to graduate with them. Ogden was critically injured in an auto accident in the spring of 1959. He continued in a coma for several months, and it was not until Thanksgiving time that he showed outward signs of returning consciousness. Though remaining as a patient at the Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, he has made slow, steady progress since then. Late in May, after 13 months in hospitals, Steve went home for his first week end, his father wrote Dr. Keeney. Steve is anxious to have visitors, who should first phone either the hospital (MUrray Hill 6-1842) or the Ogden home (Sacramento 2-4249), both in New York City, to ascertain his whereabouts on that day. The Class President, Hugh Carmichael, read at the Senior Dinner the letter which Steve had dictated as follows: "Dear Class of 1960 — I have thought of you often. I congratulate all of you and add a prayer for your success as individuals. I only wish to say that I wish I could be with you in body as well as in spirit." THE STRING WAS REAL: Joel Davis, 1956 Class Agent, sent out this draw- ing OS a reminder about Brown University Fund contributions. "Hope you'll string along," was the way he ended his note. the other effort. A lot of the best manpower from the annual- giving team had been drafted for what is, for the time being, the greater cause. Still, there were 28 Trustees of the Brown University Fund, 67 Class Agents, 381 Regional Class Agents, many Class Officers who had written special letters, many representatives who had made personal contacts and helped in other ways. A Committee on Corporation Scholarships, 21 alumni working under Chairman Elmer S. Horton '10, had obtained 88 industry gifts aggregating $106,000. In 1959-60 there were 45 donors of 59 scholarships (distributed among 75 students, incidentally). This year so far seven new scholarships had been received, with several others in negotiation. In then- first year as contributors directly to the Brown University Fund, 69 Graduate School alumni had given a total of $827, and these were men who were graduates of other institutions. Other friends had given $12,150. The Brown Parents Committee this year was the largest in the history of collegiate fund-raising among non-alumni par- ents of undergraduates. Numbering 133, its members repre- sented 30 different States, including Hawaii, and two foreign countries (Venezuela and Switzerland). Gen. Robert C. Dean of Wellesley Hills, Mass., with a son in the Sophomore Class, was the able leader of this Committee. By June 3, the record total of $19,666 established last year had been broken. The 1960 total was $28,563. "This gratifying response is a good indication of the enthusiasm and appreciation of parents," Thurrott remarked. A special effort was given in 1960 to reach some alumni who had not previously given. "We expect that this under- taking will produce more participation and greater returns to the University in the years to come," Thurrott said.

The diplomas returned, signed, from Europe just in time for Com- mencement, John Rockefeller's among them. Freshman Rockefeller had gotten off to a good start in the fall of 1893, apparently: "We are getting on here famously, and all enjoy it immensely." said an enthusiastic letter home about the first week. "The fellows are more than kind to us, and especially helpful to us just at this time when we need directions and advice." Although he failed in Glee Club trials at first, he later joined that and the Mandolin Club, where a violin was "needed." "Appearing on the platform before people gives me confidence in myself and helps me to become easy in public which I also need," he wrote. He rented a piano in his Sophomore year when he decided to make his own room a musical center. He joined a string quartette and played in the Providence Symphony Orchestra. Return to College "Like Getting Home" Johnny Rock, by the end of the year, found he had made some lasting friendships. When the next September came, he wrote his mother: "As we came up the hill, familiar faces ap- peared on all sides, and it seemed quite like getting home." In the Junior year he was Class President and was given charge of both Junior Prom and the "Junior Celebration." The for- mer was the first attempt by a Junior Class to run a major social event for itself. The latter, however, was a traditional stag cruise to Newport: "A new experience for me, but every- thing went well. Only three men had to be helped aboard. About fifteen were jolly but not unmanageable. . . . When we landed at 2 a.m., again headed by the band, we marched up the hill every man on his own feet and without aid — a thing which has never been true of a Junior Celebration before." For one of Johnny Rock's character and convictions, this was broadmindedness, indeed. While not aggressive as a Christian, he was not ashamed to be religious. As a Fresh- man, he had volunteered to teach a boys' Bible class at church. (His biographer says it was at the Central Baptist Church, but there have been assumptions that it was at the First Baptist Church, whose restoration he assured only a few years ago with a $500,000 gift.) He took part in the Brown YMCA and conducted religious services on occasion, once in a Negro church. "Unmercifully Defeated" in Reform Move "Perhaps even more important than his decisions regarding himself," says Fosdick, "was the growing spirit of tolerance which he developed toward the other men who did not hold his views. The change of view, the growing ability to dis- tinguish between the letter and the spirit, the basic and the superficial, was probably the most important development dur- ing John's college life. It laid the groundwork for his future concern for interdenominationalism, and even more important it made him a wiser and more tolerant person." Johnny Rock proposed in his Junior year that an inter- fraternity committee be established. (Apparently, there had been none up to that time to be responsible for supervising rujh'ng.) The following year, too. he attempted some reforms in fraternity life, probably without success, for he admitted to hi3 family that it had been an unhappy episode: "I have been most unmercifully defeated and forced to swallow some bitter pills. But I suppose this is but a foreshadowing of what my life is to be— 1 might as well accustom myself to it now." "The accomplishment for which John was probably best remembered at Brown," writes Fosdick in his book, "was his management of the football team." Actually, the office was to prove a heavy burden as well as an honor, but John was de- termined to accomplish the impossible — in this case, to turn the team's current and traditional deficit into a profit. By care- ful management of expenditures and by inducing some of the other teams, notably Harvard and West Point, to share gate receipts — a thing they had never done before — John managed to get the team out of the red and into the black for the first time in its history. And, even more important, John had proved to himself that he had some managerial capacity." At 127 pounds, he was not himself the athletic type, though he was an excellent horseman and determined bicyclist (75 miles a day was not out of the question on a cycling trip through England after his Sophomore year). His ideas of football, meager at the outset, became more knowledgeable. Senior honors included both Phi Beta Kappa and Cam- marian Club. But, as the college years of Johnny Rock grew to a close, he wrote: "We are a pretty mournful crowd up here, at the thought of giving up so soon a life which has been so full of pleasure and happiness as well as profit, and of separating, never again to live together or be so intimately as- sociated as we have been for the last four years." Graduation Day: "Like a Mountain Top" Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller came on for John's graduation. "What an era his graduation day marks in a young man's history. " his mother wrote shortly afterward. "It is like a mountain top on which he stands and looks both forward and backward." The provision of the Brown Bear Award of the Associated Alumni stipulates that it shall stress personal service, and "neither financial aid given the University nor achievement in the fields of business or profession" are factors to be con- sidered. It was not to a generous John D. Rockefeller, Jr., then, but to one literally benevolent that one of the Brown Bears was given in 1956: "Though devoted," said the citation, "to the great teachers of your own undergraduate years at Brown and to the con- temporaries who have delighted in their 'Johnny Rock,' you have done more than look over your shoulder at something bygone and beguiling. While honoring the past, you have in- spired us all to meet the challenge of the future, for your memories have ever been companion to a sense of the endur- ing mission of a great University. "Loyalty to Alma Mater has had no more modest, more genuine, more thoughtful champion. Here on College Hill, where you met your first tests cum laude and earned your first honors, the Associated Alumni salute a lifetime of steadfast service in their ranks. For what you are and what you have done, we record our respect, affection, and pride."

JULY 1960 55 JVith undergraduate ability on the rise, the Brown Faculty tries some new eorperiments to permit greater demands on THE STUDENT 56 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY THE SPOTLIGHT was tumed upon the students at Brown University before two groups, one official and tiie other informal, during the 1960 Commencement. President Keeney devoted a major portion of his annual report to the Corpora- tion to a discussion of curriculum and student life, while a gathering of former Trustees on the same Saturday morning heard a panel of four similarly focus on the undergraduate of today. Dr. Keeney reported "great excitement" among the under- graduates over the so-called University Courses, an experiment in which a Professor with his students brings several dis- ciplines to bear upon a series of major questions. The ratio of applications for admission to acceptance in some of these courses is of the order of 200 to 20. A good many of those who are not admitted follow the progress of a course closely through their friends and do some or all of the reading. The present curriculum of the University represents a compromise between the "New Curriculum" of 1946 and the program in the Identification and Criticism of Ideas (the IC Courses). The IC program, in Dr. Keeney's opinion, is "still more effective than any long-continuing program that I have ever seen." "The Faculty is becoming aware," he said, "that, with the rapid change in the quality of students, it will be possible to make greater demands upon them and to stimulate them to make greater demands upon themselves in the form of independent work." The University Courses, supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, are a step in this direction. It is hoped to develop this program further. Toward Independent Study "On the other side of the picture," said Dr. Keeney, "the College Scholar Program is a rather tentative experiment to see if upperclassmen actually can work on their own. It has been a considerable success. Twenty students have partici- pated, 16 of them receiving credit for one course each, and four receiving credit for two courses. "These courses are not courses at all, but are rather pro- grams of study worked out by a student in consultation with a member of the Faculty and with the understanding that the student will not receive frequent guidance from the member of the Faculty. Rather, the student will work out a problem by himself. The Faculty has voted to encourage the expansion of this program by lowering the requirements for admission, which were quite heroic. "If it is successful, it may be a very promising move toward the solution of the greatest weakness in American higher education — the lack of carry-over into later life of habits of study and the development of truly independent education." The program will also cause a serious problem to the graduate schools. Dr. Keeney observed. The reason: they are "not in the habit of encouraging investigation on the part of first-year students." As a result of this the President thought we may be well advised to keep more of our students at Brown as graduate students. An increasing number of our students are going to graduate and professional schools — 55% in the College and 17 to 20% at Pembroke. Of these, about 30% of the men have been granted fellowships or assistant- — based on President Keeney's Report to the Corporation, 1960 ships and 36% of the women. In the College, 35 received national fellowships, including eight from the Woodrow Wil- son Foundation, four from the National Science Foundation, and four Fulbrights. Extracurricular Activities Affected The caliber of the entering Classes is rising rapidly at both Brown and Pembroke, Dr. Keeney told the Corporation. "On the one hand, the lower edge of the Class is improving with the result that there are fewer students dismissed, on proba- tion, or on warning; on the other hand, the upper part of the Class is becoming more thickly populated. "The increased seriousness of the student body has resulted in less participation in extracurricular activities in each col- lege. The approach to extracurricular activities in each College is a good deal more thoughtful, in terms of their worth to the student and to the College. "There appears to be some development toward a true community of scholars, between students and the Faculty; there is rather less feeling of we and they, we being the students and they being the Faculty or Administration. But this trend is not sufficiently marked so that there is any sus- picion that the millennium has arrived." The Class of 1964, which will enter Brown in the fall, is oversubscribed, with 671 students instead of 625; at Pem- broke, 262 instead of 250. the President reported. "We can handle this surplus," he said. "Indeed, we had decided that we could handle 640 in the College. This had been our standard entering Class until we ran out of dormitory space. The un- planned increase is due to an increased rate of acceptance (by applicants admitted)." Trends in the Graduate School The growth of the Graduate School was remarked by the President. It had grown from 493 in 1955 to 761 this year, with a corresponding increase in resources for the support of graduate study. Of the 761 graduate students in 1959-60. 161 are school teachers who were at Brown under a Master of Arts in Teaching program or under one of the various in- stitutes sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Among the graduate students last year were six with National Science Foundation Cooperative Fellowship and 1 1 Woodrow Wilson Fellows. In the year ahead, 23 will come under fellow- ships authorized by the National Defense Education Act; 21 are industrial and non-governmental fellowships. There are also 24 awards from the National Cancer Institute and U.S. Public Health Service. In 1959-60 Brown had 18 post-doctoral students in residence. Of the students in the Graduate School about 60% are can- didates for degrees in sciences, 25% in the humanities, and 15 in the social studies. Applications for the year ahead have risen by 16% — to 888. New programs, approved by the Graduate Council, will lead to the doctorate in Geology, Classics, and Slavic Languages and Literatures. "It seemed appropriate this year," Dr. Keeney said, "to appoint an officer who will be primarily responsible for the future development of the Graduate School under Dean Lindsay. The Advisory and Executive Committee has ap- proved the appointment of Merton P. Stoltz to the position of Associate Dean. Professor Stoltz has been highly successful in the development of programs and outside support for the Department of Economics, is a respected member of the Faculty, and has quietly exerted considerable leadership." JULY 1960 57 ''My Daddy [Dim View and All] PHOTOGRAPHS of the Charleston Jazz Band by Paul A. Darling. "It was a good band, even if it was a sitting band." 58 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Took Me to the Field Day ^^ By OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT WE WENT TO Field Day at Brown. We had a good time. My Daddy took me and my sister. She gets in my hair all the time, but I was able to duck her some of the time. Every time I wanted to do something, my sister wanted to do it, too. She is a copy-cat. My Mother said keep an eye on your sister. My Daddy told me he would take a dim view of it if I went outside the big stone wall. My Daddy is always taking a dim view of things, mostly when I want to do them. I didn't want to go outside the wall. It was too far. It was a big place. My Daddy kept saying don't go outside the walls. My Mother said don't give him ideas he doesn't need any. The wall was too high to go outside of. I tried. They had people taking care of us. The man said where are you going, Sonny. Let's go play a game with the ball, the man said, and we went back. The man said everything is in- side, who wants to go outside. Gabby was inside. He was a nice man with a funny face painted on his face. He wore a costume like Halloween only no tricks or treats. Gabby gave all of us kids a ride on his truck. I had a ride on a pony. My sister wanted to be the Marshal, but I was the Marshal. I let her be one of the good guys. She says bang like a little girl not like a Marshal. My Daddy said hold on tight, and she held on tight. I had a ride on the fire truck. Once the fire truck had to go to a fire, but it came back. I told my Daddy it went to a fire, and he said huh I bet the firemen just wanted to get away from you kids. There was lots of room to run. Some of it was down hill. I ran with some boys I didn't know. They are my friends. One boy only had five cokes. I had seven cokes. Everytime I went to my Daddy's tent he said here go buy yourself a coke. But once I had ice cream. My Daddy said go buy your- self a balloon. It broke. Balloons are too short. There was a band, too. It wasn't a real band — just a sitting band, but it was a good band. They kept playing. I like a band, even a sitting band. Lots of people stayed near the band. They clapped their hands when the band stopped, and the band started again. My sister got up on the place by the band and jumped around. She thought she was dancing. My sister is a show-off. All the grown-ups talked a lot. They think talking is fun. They talked to each other mostly, in the tents mostly. One man said to me are you having a good time. Grown-ups ask a lot of silly questions. They like to talk. I take a dim view of old people talking. 1 went back to the running place. I yelled hi Gabby when Gabby went by. He is my friend. I could still hear the band. Old people get tired faster and sit a lot. My Daddy wore a funny hat with numbers on it. Once he put it on me to wear, and my sister wanted it, but I wanted it. My Daddy said don't lose it. I lost it. But I found another one on a table, and my Daddy didn't know, but my sister told him. My Mother said oh well fair exchange is no rob- bery. Now don't you lose the hat, my Mother said to my Daddy and laughed. He lost it. Sunday he had another one. I said where did you get it, and my Daddy didn't answer where he got it. At the big field my Daddy was having a good time with his friends. He didn't take a dim view very often while we were there. Sometimes he was singing with the band with the people. My Daddy said don't go in the big hole. I said what is the big hole, and he said it is a skating rink and I could come there sometime and go skating. It's just dirt so how could I go skating? He said you wait. There was a great big steam shovel. There was a great big chimney. I could not count all the cars. I could count the tents. They had 12 tents. My Daddy went to Brown. My Daddy says the field belongs to Brown. Some day they're going to have a baseball field and a tennis field and a basketball place as well as a skating place, and I said why don't they leave it the way it is, it is a nice place to have fun. I'm going to Brown some day when I grow up. They have a nice field to run in. My Daddy keeps saying to me grow up. I guess lots of people went to Brown. They come to this field every year, my Daddy says. I asked Daddy can I come again next year. My Daddy said go buy yourself a coke. One kid had on a raincoat, and I said hey kid what you got your raincoat on for, and he said my Mother made me. I could run faster than he could. He said I could run faster than you could if I didn't have to wear this darned raincoat. I said why don't you take off your darned raincoat because my Daddy wasn't around to hear me say darned. My Daddy takes a dim view if I say darned, but he says darned. So the boy took off his darned raincoat and left it by some grass. I could still run faster than he could. He said I bet I could run faster than you could back home in Texas. I beat him wrestling. He is my friend. Some of the grown-ups had a ball game. It was slippery. I asked my Daddy who won. My Mother said they don't know. My Daddy said Brown won. When Brown wins, it's a good time to ask my Daddy for something. He let me have money for a coke. I asked him who Brown was playing. My Daddy said Brown. Sometimes my Daddy doesn't pay atten- tion. My Daddy is being funny sometimes, too. Sometimes you can't tell which it is. We had to go home for supper. I didn't eat much supper. My sister was tired and cranky so I had to go to bed early, too. Sisters are a pest. My Mother said wasn't it too bad it had to rain. It didn't have to, my Daddy said. I didn't notice it rained.

"The Brown Alumni Monthly," we said in June, 1900, "aims to bring the Univer- sity and its graduates into closer touch and sympathy. . . . The Monthly hopes to represent the University in a semi- official way, and yet retain its independent character as an alumni publication. ... It will aim at conciseness and ac- curacy rather than literary distinction and be inspired only by loyalty to Brown and an affectionate regard for all her former students." "The first year of Dr. Faunce's administration has been a period of general strengthening," we said. Two new buildings were soon to be erected at Brown. One of these was the new President's House, destined for the corner of Hope and Man- ning Sts. "The old President's House has become unsuitable for a family, since the cable cars have turned College Hill into a railroad." Plans were also being prepared for the Ad- ministration Building, construction of which was provided for in a $45,000 bequest from the late Augustus S. Van Wickle '76. Brunonians Far and Near appeared for the first time as the heading for the department of Class Notes, a label re- tained doggedly ever since. "No name is more prominently connected with the 'open door' in China than that of John Hay," said the leading story in the July issue under the notation: "Brown Statesman at the Helm." At its June 19 meeting. Phi Beta Kappa had voted to admit women to its membership. An honorary degree had been conferred on one of the first women to graduate from Brown University, Mary Emma Woolley, President of Mount Holyoke College. "Only four" members of the graduating Class had delivered orations this year (in 1895 there had been 10). A series of conferences was to be arranged for alumni in the teaching profession. The "astronomical department" made a series of successful observations of the May 28 eclipse. A Capital Campaign Had Succeeded Of all items which have their echo in 1960, however, the most interesting told of the success of a million-dollar cam- paign by Brown, oversubscribed by $100,000. "On the morn- ing of Commencement Day, more than the requisite amount had been pledged, the business men of Providence and vicinity having come nobly to the fore, together with generous alumni from all parts of the country." "There was mutual felicitation on every hand." we said, "not merely over the raising of the desired fund, but because of the loyal spirit that had been displayed, the faith in Brown and its administrators had been made manifest, and the reve- lation of the great body of alumni to itself as a practical work- ing force in the management and prosperty of the University. . . . No less gratifying were the smaller subscriptions of Brown men of lesser resources, some of them missionaries on foreign stations. ... To Mr. Rockefeller for his munificent subscription the University and its friends extend their special acknowledgment. It was, of course, his pledge that gave the promoters of the movement their initial impetus." Louis F. Snow resigned, having been Dean of the Women's College since its establishment in 1892. Pembroke Hall had been erected, the curriculum extended, and the attendance increased "almost constantly." At the meeting of the Corpora- tion, William V. Kellen '72 resigned his position on the Board of Trustees as a Baptist, having become an Episcopalian, and was unanimously re-elected to fill an Episcopal vacancy. (There were denominational qualifications for Trustees in those days.) "There are few better locations anywhere for a memorial gateway than the top of College Hill," we said. It had been definitely decided to locate the Van Wickle Gates there. "The times are ripe for some benefactor, who is also an aesthete, to give the college a memorial hall, with the stipulation that it shall be erected opposite the projected Administration Build- ing. Then we should have a most imposing approach to the Front Campus." The John Hay Library later fulfilled most of that hope. "There will soon be an opportunity for somebody to erect a memorial gateway at the east approach to the Campus. The College is expanding along Manning St., as witness the Psi Upsilon Chapter House and the new Presi- dent's House." The Memorial Arch was erected two decades later. An Appeal for a Broivn Crew "When Brown was numerically far weaker than she is now, she maintained a creditable crew. She has an ideal practice course two miles long within easy reach of the Campus, and a well-equipped gymnasium for indoor work. Why should she not send an eight to compete with Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Columbia, Cornell, Georgetown, and Syracuse at Pough- keepsie next June." A Brown Freshman crew had beaten Yale, Harvard, and Amherst 30 years before. "In the world's athletic games at Paris, July 14, Brown was represented by Capt. David C. Hall '01 of the University athletic team." Hall won his trials in the 800-metre race, finished third in the finals. "It is gratifying to witness a revival of interest in tennis at the University. Tennis is too good a game to be abandoned altogether in favor of golf." Brown could boast a national champion in tennis (Hovey). an inter- collegiate champion (Chace), and the Rhode Island champion (Budlong), though perhaps not at the moment of their listing in our pages. Where did Brown men live? Rhode Island accounted for 986 graduates, Massachusetts 649, New York 302, Connecti- cut 100, Pennsylvania 82, Illinois 74. New Jersey 54, New Hampshire 51, Maine 45, Ohio 37, California 34, Michigan 27, District of Columbia 27, Vermont 24, Iowa 19, Missouri 17, Colorado 17, Minnesota 16, Wisconsin 14, Maryland 14, and Georgia 11. Every other State was represented on the list, with 7 in England, 6 in Germany, 5 in Canada, 4 in Burma, 4 in India, 3 in China, 3 in Japan, 2 in Mexico, and 1 each in Italy, Greece, Holland, France, and Trinidad. And in addition to a sentimental ballad of Commencement Day on "The Girls of College Hill," there was a poem that began: "Is this Old Brown? It cannot be! It does not seem the place at all." JULY 1960 61 Kids, Kids, Kids . . . . "COME BACK some other day, son. This is Commencement." IN THE PROCESSION with their fathers. "WHAT does the book say, Daddy?" 62 "WHY all the fuss?" BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY I* FRINGE BENEFIT: A Faculty son decided the floor for the Campus Dance made a wonderful cycledrome. "LOOK, I'm a band, too." 'IT'S TOO BIG.' 63 A Dean's Estimate of 1960 Graduates TtLL US about the members of your Senior Class in this June of 1960, the Providence Journal said. Dean Charles H. Watts of Brown was one of the Rhode Island educators who responded: "More of them are more concerned to de- termine some sensible purpose for their education than their predecessors were. This produces a kind of self-consciousness which has two effects. "First, the best among them, recognizing the social and technological complexity of the world they will enter, seek further education. We have more students entering graduate work than ever before. From this group will come men highly trained and strong enough to affect their world. "Second, the lesser among them avoid taking chances. They meet degree rquirements quite satisfactorily, but some- times appear not to be personally involved in the meaning of their education. This is the matter which concerns me most. The caution it implies reflects, of course, the extraordinary pressures of our time. "I do not, however, agree with those who find that today's students are concerned only to avoid responsibility. They are, by and large, responsible people, cautious in their approach to a changing society, but not ready to accept it passively. They are. I think, more capable. They take their work more seriously. They are suspicious of panaceas but moved by those who express strong conviction." Three Seniors were asked for their own estimates. Cliff Ehrlich of Teaneck, N. J., an Economics major, is Vice- President of his Class and was Co-Captain of basketball. He has a S6000 job with Monsanto Chemical, hopes to study law nights, and be a lawyer in time. Money, he said, is no measure of success: "I just want to do things better than I found them. I want to avoid playing golf with the boss and go right down the line." Marian Sherman, a Psychology major from Silver Spring, Md., will study at the University of California on a $2000 assistantship. She was President of the Honor Council at Pembroke and head of Freshman counseling. "The Class has a hard core of security-minded conformists headed for the suburbs," she said, "but it includes a lot of exciting people who will do things that really contribute . . . maybe I only know exciting people." Thomas Caswell, Jr., a Philosophy major from Minneapolis who will stay at Brown in alumni and admissions work while studying for a Master's, said: "I'm not particularly interested in making $10,000 a year, having a nice house, kids, and two dogs. I sort of have a desire to keep on reading a lot. be able to write. I like to say what I think and have people listen to it. Maybe I'm a little idealistic, but I dont regard the mone- tary as everything." Commencement Postscripts Among the 525 men who received degrees from the Col- lege this year was a 35-year-old physician from Portland. Ore. Dr. James H. Austin "46 of the University of Oregon Medical School was in the unusual position of having a doc- torate without a Bachelor's degree. World War II and the Navy accelerated his medical studies so that he did not grad- uate when his Class did. "It wasn't necessary for me to come back to get the diploma from Brown," he said. "I returned for sentimental reasons. My grandfather, James Austin, Jr., was graduated from Brown 80 years ago." The 1960 Bach- elor's degree was awarded magna cum laude. Another older student who graduated was Gordon Graham '44. He had completed only five semesters when he interrupted his education, but he registered last fall and com- pleted his degree requirements. When the Class of 1905 was graduated, 17-year-old Royal DeWolfe Gilbert was beating the big bass drum in the band. This June he was there again, the only original member of his band still marching. The drummer has missed a Com- mencement only once in 56 years, and that was because of illness many years ago. Still active as a teacher of percussion, Gilbert admits that the music of the Commencement March is familiar to him. The citation for Dr. Warren C. Johnson's honorary degree noted that he had been the first of a long line of graduate students in Chemistry who have come from Kalamazoo Col- lege. The Vice-President of the University of Chicago has been followed by 31 others from Kalamazoo. This June. Sivert H. Glarum, Kalamazoo '55, received his doctorate in Chemistry from Brown. Although Judge Fred B. Perkins '19 did not take part in Commencement functions, he had returned home from the hospital and was well again after earlier illness. In place of his signature on the 1960 diplomas, the Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, John Nicholas Brown, endorsed the docu- ments, more than 800 of them. 64 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY WINTHROP W. ALDRICH, who was Chair- man of the Convocation at Brown last Oc- tober, received a copy of the Convocation Book as another token of appreciation for his leadership in that great event. Making the presentation is Secretory How- ard S. Curtis, who was his executive aide. The book is reviewed on page 66. The Corporation Added New Members SIX NEW Trustees were elected at the June meeting of the Corporation of Brown University: Thomas B. Appleget '17 of Greenwich, Conn.; Maurice L. Clemence '34 of Wellesley Hills, Mass.; Foster B. Davis, Jr., '39, John R. Gosnell '41 of Shrewsbury, Mass.; Mrs. William Newton Hughes of Providence (Pembroke '22 and wife of Dr. Wil- liam Newton Hughes '16); and Leon M. Payne '36 of Houston. Davis and Payne are Alumni Trustees, having been nominated in the general voting this spring on the ballot of the Associated Alumni. Special interest attaches itself to the naming of Appleget. He had been an Alumni Trustee from 1928 to 1934 and was named a Life Trustee in 1935. Fourteen years later, when he returned to the University administrative staff as Vice- President, he resigned from the Corporation. He had been an active Trustee with many important volunteer assignments, and it was a popular decision that he should be asked to re- sume his earlier place on the Board. He is a former Vice- President of the Rockefeller Foundation, a post he held for a score of years. Clemence is Treasurer of the Kendall Co. in Boston and a Trustee of the Kendall Co. Foundation. He is a Trustee of Wheaton College, Norton, and the Newton-Wellesley Hos- pital; he is serving on the Wellesley School Committee. Davis is a partner in Davis & Davis, Providence investment brokers. A Past President of the Associated Alumni and former Trustee of the Brown University Fund, he is General Chair- man in Providence for the Bicentennial Program and a mem- ber of the Athletic Advisory Council. Gosnell is Second Vice-President and Assistant Treasurer of the Massachusetts Protective Association, Inc., and the Paul Revere Life Insur- ance Co. of Worcester. He is a Trustee of Hahnemann Hos- pital and the Children's Friend Society of Worcester. Payne will follow in the footsteps of his father, the late Leon F. Payne '07 of Pittsburgh and Dallas, in taking his en- gagement as a Brown Trustee. The senior Payne was an Alumni Trustee from 1936, the year of the son's graduation, to 1942. Leon M. Payne is a partner in the Houston law firm of Andrews, Kurth, Campbell & Bradley. He is also Vice- President and Counsel for the Pacific Northwest Pipeline Corp. and the Northwest Production Corp., as well as being a Director of such companies as Warren Automatic Tool Co., Associated Steel Co., and El Paso Natural Gas Co. As an Air Force Major, he received the Distinguished Flying Cross, with cluster, in World War II and the Air Medal, with five clusters. Payne has been active in alumni affairs as Regional Vice-President and Director and former President of the Brown Alumni of Houston. Mrs. Hughes has just completed a two-year term as Pres- ident of the Pembroke Alumnae Association and is a former President of the Women's Auxiliary of the Rhode Island Medical Society. She has been active in the organization for the Bicentennial Program. JULY 1960 65 For a Brown Bookshelf EDITED BY ELMER M. BLISTEIN '42 MANS CONTRACTING WORLD IN AN EXPANDING UNIVERSE: Proceed- ings of the Brown University Convoca- tion October 21. 22, and 23, 1959, edited by Ben H. Bagdikian. 224 pages. Brown University. $4 (through the University Bookstore). When the great October Convocation was in its final minutes, it fell to President Emeritus Wriston to complete the summa- tion to which the last session had been devoted. "It would have been impossible 15 years ago to get a series of audiences of this size giving this much attention to problems of this scope," he said. "The Convocation was in the highest tradition of the university — namely, it is an educa- tional process — and the object was not to have a consensus at the end. The object was to develop an individual response within all who heard." It was, then, not merely a "fruitful in- terplay between the great minds of our time" but there was the thoughtful auditor for whom the Convocation had been in- tended. His individual response will be stimulated once again as he turns the pages of the "Convocation Book." For the former member of the audience, the text will bring a sense of recall, a recreation of the lively colloquy which kept filling Marvel Gym at meetings after meeting. But there is fresh substance, too, for the book now permits a grasp even better, another kind of mulling attention in contrast to the listening, which allowed no lingering apart — you had to stay with it. Now you control the pace: perhaps your own opin- ions have the privilege of the floor. And, certainly, your own chair is a comfort. "No other event of learning and intel- lect ever made such an impact on the local public," says Editor Ben Bagdikian in his preface, by way of setting the stage. "Tick- ets to all sessions were free to whomever asked. More than 28,000 requests were received. The 4000 students at Brown were on vacation for the duration of the Con- vocation, yet some 1400 of them asked for tickets. Still others, after the supply was exhausted, created an unofficial traffic with bulletin notices like one of a so- ciology student, 'One Darwin and two dollars for a Bunche-Mead.' "The impact was felt far beyond the campus. Businessmen left their offices and housewives their kitchens to attend the symposia. In all, over 15,000 persons at- tended the sessions in the gymnasium, and well over 2000 watched on closed-circuit television." The book was compiled from a com- bination of tape recordings and steno- graphic accounts, with some corrections by the participants and skillful editing in the interests of pace, space, and clarity. It is a generous report, with most of the deletions small. The announced purpose is achieved: "to make permanent what was at first transitory." Not only is the sub- stance made permanent but the spirit of the exchanges, too. If the sign backstage in the gym still said, "Do Not Wear Spike Shoes in Locker Room," it did not apply to the arena of thought, as the editor notes. There wasn't a yes-man in the crowd at the green tables. You'd know that from their names: Sir Charles Gahon Darwin, Sir Pierson Dixon, Clarence H. Faust, Lee A. DuBridge, Henry Margenau. I. I. Rabi, Cecilia H. Payne-Gaposchkin, Edmund S. Morgan, Friedrich A. Hayek, Ralph J. Bunche. Margaret Mead, Erwin D. Can- ham, the Rev. David H. C. Read, Jeffer- son B. Fordham, Erwin Panofsky. Win- throp W. Aldrich, the General Chairman, and the members of the University family. The addresses by Lester B. Pearson, Charles Francis Adams, and Secretary Ar- thur S. Flemming are here, too. A decent number of photos will bring back the scene and some of the atmosphere of a great experience, now translated to paper in an agreeably designed book. An appendix provides biographies of the speakers and the text of citations. TALES OUT OF SCHOOL: Memoirs of William C. Hill '94. 207 pages. The Springfield Classical High School Alumni Association and Parent-Teacher Associ- ation. $3.50. Dr. Hill, who celebrated his 86th birth- day a few months ago, spent 51 years as a school master and became one of the country's acknowledged leaders in second- ary school education. But this is a personal narrative, starting with his own school days and his undergraduate years at Brown (to which he devotes 16 pages of particu- lar interest to our readers). He tells how he got his start in teaching, describes his "experiments" in Caribou, Me., speaks of his experiences in Lewiston as "full speed ahead," and, of course, dwells long- est on his remarkable dedication to high school education in Springfield, Mass. While the book is unusual, its publica- tion is even more so. Dr. Hill intended his modest memoirs only to be circulated pri- vately among his family and friends. When some of his former students and associ- ates heard of it, however, they urged wider distribution. A thousand copies were finally printed, the entire receipts to go to the scholarship and library funds supported by the two groups at Springfield Classical who appear as publishers. Orders may be placed with the School at 235 State St., Spring- field. "I have faith in the public schools." writes Dr. Hill. "From the highly selective organizations of my boyhood to the all- inclusive institutions of today, I have seen them meeting, sometimes slowly, some- times even reluctantly, but nonetheless tri- umphantly, the challenge of their changing environment." Their primary business, he believes, is intellectual training. ' The Brown man who picks up the book because of its recollections of Dr. Hill's Dialogue Within Earshot Man seldom pauses to reflect as he passes from one era to another. Indeed, usually he does not know he has made the passage until he looks back. The great Convocation at Brown University in October of 1959 was a pause and a reflection. It came at a moment when mankind once more is at the threshold of a new age, but an age in which for the first time in his history it is possible for man, by some false step, to lose the lux- ury of looking back. The Convocation was a pause to let some of the world's most eminent scholars, philosophers, and diplo- mats converse with each other about where the human race seems to be going, where it ought to go, and what it all seems to mean. They con- ducted this dialogue as they sat to- gether on a stage within earshot of that most pertinent of all audiences, the general public. — from the Preface of the "Convocation Book." 66 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY College Hill recollections (and they are delightful) will find himself beguiled into reading the whole book and enjoying it. THE COMPACT HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS, by Lt. Col. Philip N. Pierce and the late Frank O. Hough '24. 208 pages. Hawthorne Books. About the only dull sentence in the book is its title, in the opinion of Ben Cole of the Indianapolis Star. All of the Marines' battles over 174 years are packed into this exciting new book. Pierce, Cole notes, is "a Down-Easter from Maine with a degree in journalism, a string of combat ribbons, and a delicious sense of humor." He shares the authorship with Hough, a soldier who turned novelist and turned soldier again. Hough's famous book, "The Campaign on New Britain," showed he knew what he was writing about. Per- haps the only surprising thing about it was the fact that he proved sound in research, too. The Marines' history wasn't always glam- orous, and the new book includes the bloopers as well as the bravery. While there is broad perspective in the narrative, one finds illuminating incident as well: the real story of the flag-raising on Iwo Jima, for example: the mystery of Pete Ellis' penetration of the Japanese naval strong- hold at Truk; the origins of the Marine hymn, with its somewhat rearranged chro- nology; the cowardice charges against Whar- ton after the sacking of Washington in the War of 1812. The grim is here, and occa- sionally the light. All the archives of the Marines were available as source material, yet the nar- rative triumphs over the reports. It is a tribute to its authorship that Gen. David M. Shoup, the commanding officer of the Corps today, is said to have found only "a couple of mistakes." ACCREDITATION: the Struggle over Standards in Higher Education, by Wil- liam K. Selden. 138 pages. Harper & Brothers. $2.50. The author, remembered by many Bru- nonian friends for his service as an admin- istrative officer at Brown before he became a college president, is the Executive Secre- tary of the National Commission on Ac- crediting. He gives an historical summary of accreditation, a description of current relationships and problems, and some pre- dictions as to the future. Although Brown University has never been much involved in the force which accreditation has become in American edu- cation, individuals like Dr. Wriston have had their influence upon its course. Only in this country are academic standards maintained through a system of independ- ent, voluntary accrediting associations. The author traces the development of the sys- tem and answers central questions about its operation, its philosophy, and its ef- fect. William Selden was also the author of an article, "How Long Is a College Pres- ident?" In Liberal Education, the bulletin of the Association of American Colleges, he recently exploded the myth that the average length of tenure of a college pres- ident is only four years. Actually, the length of service of presidents currently in office is more than eight. Dr. Wriston, it is observed, was 12 years at Lawrence and 18 at Brown. Mary Emma Woolley, Pem- broke '94, was in office at Mount Holyoke for 37 years. (The 11 who preceded Bar- naby Keeney as President of Brown, inci- dentally, averaged 16.3 years in office: the range was from Caswell's four years to Faunce's 30.) PHOTOCONDUCTIVITY OF SOLIDS, by Richard H. Bube '47. 461 pages. John Wiley & Sons. $14.75. A book for specialists, it is the first and only work of such proportions or scope to offer a comprehensive analysis of the photoconductivity of solids. It appears at a time when photoconductivity is not only a phenomenon of grreat interest in its own right but has become a basic tool in all solid-state research. The book provides a unified, physical description and interpretation of photocon- ductivity phenomena, drawing examples from many different kinds of materials. In addition, the correlation between photo- conductivity and other related phenomena in insulators and semiconductors is em- phasized. In the Foreword, Dr. Albert Rose writes: "A well-balanced book on photoconductiv- ity should draw heavily on the modern the- ory of solids, on the synthesis of materials, on the relations between photoconductivity and allied phenomena, and on the wide range of applications of photoconductors. The reader will be pleased to find here that the author, himself a major contributor to the field of photoconductivity and lumi- nescence, has achieved a happy conjunc- tion of these several disciplines." Dr. Bube, a senior member of the tech- nical staff of RCA Laboratories at the David Sarnoff Research Center of the Ra- dio Corporation of America in Princeton, N. J., is engaged in solid-state research. He received a B.S. degree from Brown University in 1946; an M.A. and Ph.D. from Princeton in 1948 and 1950 respec- tively. Dr. Bube joined RCA Laboratories in 1948 as a research physicist. Although he has specialized in the fields of lumines- cence and photoconductivity of solids, he is also active in research on semiconduc- tors, surface properties, trapping phenom- ena, and crystal growth and imperfections. Recipient of RCA Achievement Awards in 1952 and 1957, Dr. Bube has published more than 50 technical articles and is the holder of two patents issued in the field of photoconductivity. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a member of Sigma Xi, and the American Scientific Af- filiation, and is listed in American Men of Science. Dr. Bube is also the author of another book in a somewhat different field, "A Textbook of Christian Doctrine", pub- lished by Moody Press of Chicago in 1955. He is active as a lay member of the Ortho- dox Presbyterian Church, and is an Elder and Clerk of Session of Calvary Church in Ringoes, N. J. Briefer Mention DR. Marvin Rintala, political scientist who became an Associate Professor on July 1, is the author of a new book, "Three Generations: the Extreme Right Wing in Finnish Politics." He joined the Brown Faculty in 1958. Everett Knight '47 has written "The Objective Society," which the Providence Journal book page speaks of as "a criticism of the current concept of objectivity which seeks to reduce all things in nature to the measurable and the quantitative." George Braziller is the publisher. Knight, a gradu- ate of the Sorbonne, is a lecturer in French studies at the University College of Ghana. The Rev. Dr. Dudley Tyng, Ph.D. '31 is the author of "Massachusetts Episcopa- lians 1607-1957," scheduled for summer publication by the Diocese of Massachu- setts. Stuart Levine, Ph.D. '58 of the Univers- sity of Kansas is Editor of the Journal of the Central Mississippi Valley American Studies Association. Prof. Hyatt Waggon- er's "William Faulkner" is reviewed in the spring issue as "a valuable book." "The French and Indian War: an Al- bum" is a recent publication of the Asso- ciates of the John Carter Brown Library, their 10th. The offset work presents a se- lection of 37 maps, prints, broadsides, and title-pages of pamphlets from the Library's holdings. It commemorates "in a sense" the bicentennial of the victory which deter- mined the fate of North America. The work merits a review which we hope will be forthcoming for the autumn. (Available at $1 at the John Carter Brown Library, Brown University.) Prof. Elliot R. Goodman, Brown politi- cal scientist, is the author of The Soviet Design for a World State. Columbia Uni- versity Press published the book in mid- April. It is scheduled for review in our next issue. Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn's "Political Freedom: the Constitutional Powers of the People" is a Harper offering. "The citi- zens of the United States will be fit to gov- ern themselves under their own institu- tions only if they have faced squarely and fearlessly everything that can be said in favor of those institutions, everything that can be said against them." Prof. Arlan R. Coolidge '24. Chairman of the Department of Music, has been named to the editorial board of Musical America. Man R. Marcus "43 is represented on the new book lists by "Of Streets and Stars." "The Fierce Lambs" by A. A. Hoehling (Little, Brown) is an account of 1917, the year America went "over there." It is cen- tered in the backgrounds and experiences of the first four American soldiers to lose their lives. Among the illustrations is a Brown University photo showing "Ragged but enthusiastic Brown students drilling on the campus with dummy rifles, showing the 'fine, unrestful spirit which animates the student body.' " The word "ragged" re- fers to the lack of precision in the ranks on Lincoln Field. JULY 1960 67 A ROUNDUP OF REUNIONS \'-oi' CAME TO FIND what you had left behind. And was it there? Well, not exactly. Not if you looked for it in the very same spot and expected it to have the same coloration your memory had as- signed to it. You were not alone in your quest, of course, for hundreds came with you. back to College Hill at Commencement time. .And each had his special missions, prompted by an experience, recent or old. You were a familiar or a stranger, de- pending upon circumstances. The Rev. W. Douglas Swaffield '06 found few surprises, for he has been hack each year for 54 times. .Another had not seen Brown (ex- cept in passing by) since 1920, the end of his Freshman year — but he'll return often now. Perhaps you came a long way. like Gen. Charles H. Morhouse ■25 from Japan or Cecil M. P. Cross "15 from Brazil; perhaps you came from around the corner. You had vigor enough, perhaps, to drive 2000 miles to Providence and then to avoid sleep and run out hits: perhaps you did not begrudge someone else's arm on the march to the Meeting House with the older guard. Perhaps you saw a son or daughter grad- uate and knew an extra pride. Perhaps you knew where Archibald House or Poland or Bronson were without being shown. Or perhaps you felt like the chap at the .Alumni Dinner, out of sight from the head table, who asked who was speaking: "Keeney? Who's he? The President! Where's Faunce?" What you came back for, really, was companionship: Companionship with, if not your youth, at least your contempo- raries. Companionship with old scenes, still central to the new. Companionship with a conglomerate tradition, and yet with a per- sonal experience. You put on a hat or an armband that proclaimed an identity, a be- longing — and that was companionship, too. You began a new companionship with strangers who might have been old friends for they professed a common dating. You picked up an understanding of a new Brown to modify recollection, for the bet- ter. For all its hurry and hurrah, for all its lonely moments, it was a companionable place and a companionable season. So MUCH FOR PREAMBLE, and an incon- gruous one at that, because what follows is prosaic detail — merely listing and record- ing. Class by Class (within the limitation of what was reported to us in time I here is the outline of what happened during Re- uniontime of 1960. And, if you came to find what was left behind, we hope you found it and were rewarded . . . and will come again. 1897 The highlight of the 63rd Reunion was the Saturday evening dinner at the Hope Club, with President Isaac B. Merriman acting as host. Three classmates joined President Merriman in what was the senior of all class reunions on Campus in 1960. Frank O. Jones of Hartford, Conn., George L. Miner of Providence, and Dr. Marcius H. Merchant of Warren were the others of 1897 who participated in the traditional reunion. Guests at the affair included Sen- ator Theodore Francis Green '87, an hon- orary member of the Class; Harold B. Tanner '09, Chancellor of the University: and Claude R. Branch '07. The late John D. Rockefeller, Jr., '97 figured prominently in the memories of those present. 1899 Nine members of the Class, or about 50 per cent of those physically fit, attended the Class Dinner at the University Club on Saturday evening, June 4. The list of those present: Barber, Beale, Chase, Davis, Duffy, Farnham, Grim, Howard, and Shel- don. Benjamin W. Grim was elected Re- union Chairman for the 62nd get-together in 1961. 1900 Seven classmates returned for the 60th Reunion of the Class. The annual meeting was held on Sunday at the Agawam Hunt Club. Secretary Charles W. Brown read the list of the eight men who had passed away since the last reunion. On Com- mencement Morning, six members of the Class marched down the Hill. Those who returned included: President Robert C. Robinson, Leonard M. Patton. Rev. Her- bert E. B. Case, Willard H. Bacon, Arthur L. Perry. Dr. Waldo Leland, and Prof. Charles Brown. 1902 A Commencement Day luncheon at the University Club was attended by the fol- lowing 13 classmates: Atwood, Bullock, Calder, Saunders, Haslam. Metcalf, Paine, Goodrich, Chaffee, Smith, Wilmarth, Wil- son, Greene. 1905 The 55th Reunion of the men of "05 was a gay and colorful affair. The feature at- traction of the week end was the Class Dinner at the Squantum Club on Saturday evening, June 4, when John Nicholas Brown, an honorary member of the Class, was the main speaker. He was presented with a gift from the Class, and tokens of appreciation also were bestowed on Dave Davidson and Fred Thurber. Frank S. Cooke was elected President of the Class. Fred Schwinn, C. L. Robinson. Thurber, and Davidson served as the Reunion Com- mittee for the 55th. Others attending in- cluded: Judge AUyn Brown. Bugbee, Gess- ner. Marble, Powell (1st time back), Cronkhite, Goodwin, Bellin, Costello, Bul- lock, Woodin, Hoyt, Seamans, Webb. Burr, Wilson, and Gordon. 1907 The feature attraction of the Commence- ment Week End was a gathering at the University Club attended by nine alumni, in addition to Victor Budd Schwartz '40, Jim Got His Phone Call at Last SHORTLY after the Class of 1910 moved into Poland House in the West Quad- rangle, it learned that other things were happening in the Commencement season which were even more important (to those involved) than a big 50th reunion. Let Elmer S. Horton, the Class President who was reelected for another five-year term, tell the story: "We had 20 rooms and the lounge in Poland House as our headquarters. On Friday, June 2, we discovered that we had acquired a student as our almost constant companion. We were attracted by his youthful appearance and curious as to why he was so tense and nervous. When we asked him why he paced the corridor and stayed so close to our group, he said he had given the Poland House telephone number to the Lying-in Hospital so that they might call him as soon as he became a father. "Naturally, this coming event aroused the interest of all of us. The suspense con- tinued through Friday evening. When our first early riser walked into the lounge on Saturday morning, there was Jim curled up on the couch fully clothed: he'd appar- ently been there all night. Waking with a start, he said he was still awaiting the telephone call. "When we returned from partying late Saturday evening, we found a notice posted on the bulletin board in the corridor. It read as follows: '1910 baby girl born, 8'/i pounds. Mother and child doing well. Father appreciates allowing me to stay.' " The 1910 men. too. had come to think of the baby as "their girl." Flowers were sent to the hospital from the Class, and there was a further sequel to the story of Miss Bonnie Louise Davidson, born June 4 to James H. Davidson '61 and Mrs. Davidson: Right after Commencement, the Class of 1910 opened a savings account in the baby's name, as a start of her edu- cation fund. The bank book was sent her parents, along with the wish that "the 1910 baby" might enter Pembroke in 1978. 68 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY GOIDEN REUNION of 1910 included these men: I sf row, left to right- Spicer, Taber, Meredith, Greene, Muir, Barus, Creelmcn, Post, Atwood, Swoffieid; 2nd row— Wood, Bobcock, Bliss, Field, Norton, Palmer, Davis, Jeffris, Abercrombie, Shaeffer; 3rd row— Burnham '07, Brett, Munson, Fenner, L Amoreaux, O'Connor, Norton, Cokes, Kolberg, Freeman, Roquet, Hortigan, Mansur, Hutchins, Alan Young, Lester Round, Dwyer, George Round, and Cameron.

Silver Anniversary So there we were, the remnants of us gathered together, the quizzical smile turning to recognition or (more often) to the yellow name card, stark against tweed and organdy. Some lines about the mouth, tell-tale along the throat, the anniversary lights in the hair and so much more wisdom in the eyes; a world of private thoughts mounting what bastions on the other side of anniversary smiles. . . . But there we were, and we came hoping to capture something, and some of us did, and none of us knows what it was exactly. — Ralph L. Kinsey in the Woosler Alumni Bulletin Those who returned for one or more events include: Bloomstein, Roitman, Beck- ford. Kerner, Farrell, Owen, Walling, Chap- lin, Marks, Levitt, Knauer, Sugarman, Lipman, Mosby (came the furthest — St. Louis), MacDonald, Anderton, Hendel, Rawlinson, Rickard, Kemalian, Sarafian, Sannella.

Frank Hurd and Clarence Schneider handled the arrangements. 1935 From the moment the group started to gather at the Bigelow Lounge Friday after- noon for a cocktail party until the Com- mencement March was completed Monday morning, the men of '35 thoroughly en- joyed themselves with one of the finest 25th Reunions on record. Friday evening the ladies enjoyed a din- ner at the University Club while the men were at the Alumni Dinner. The Campus Dance seemed to be more enjoyable than ever, perhaps because of the break in the weather. Saturday morning the men gath- ered at the Bigelow Lounge for the Class Meeting, at which time Edward G. Crosby was elected permanent Reunion Chairman. Ed had done a fine job this year in taking over for Henry Hart after his illness. The Class Clambake was held that evening at the Squantum Club. JULY I960 71 THE CHIEF MARSHAL, Judge John P.

Stan Mathes spoke on the Bicentennial Program and the part it is playing in the future de- velopment of the University. In the au- dience was Henry Jaburg. who has attended 21 consecutive Class reunions. At the busi- ness meeting, plans for the 25-year Class Gift were discuss£d. The group voted to include wives in the plans for all future reunions. Howard Brown, our genial Class Treasurer, issued an invitation to all class- mates and their ladies to next year's Friday night cocktail party at his home, 41 Win- gate Rd., Blackstone Blvd., Providence.

When the men went to the Alumni Dinner, the ladies were not forgotten and had a dinner of their own at the University Club. The Campus Dance finished off Friday and initiated Saturday. Actually. Saturday was the high point of the Reunion. The colorful Alumni Field Day made for a pleasant afternoon, even though the rain did come down at one time. On Saturday evening all the class- mates and their ladies gathered at the Wannamoisett Country Club for the big event of the week end, the Class Dinner- Dance. Vic Schwartz won the prize for coming the greatest distance (California), Lane Fuller took home the golf trophy, Bert Buxton and Bob Engles tied for the largest number of children (six), and Jack Porritt was hailed for being the first mem- ber of the Class to have a son-in-law. The Reunion Committee was headed by Russ Field, and he was assisted by Eben Church, Ken Clapp, Ray Curran, Bob Engles, Herm Goldstein, Rudy Jaworski, Gus Jones, Herb Lewis, John McLaughry, and Harold Pfautz.

Starting Friday afternoon, the group gathered in the Phi Delta Theta Lounge for registration and refreshments. Baseball caps and badges were issued at that time. While the men were at the Alumni Dinner, the ladies were enter- tained at the University Club, and all gathered later at the Class table at the Campus Dance. After a Saturday morning brunch in the Ivy Room, the Class Meeting was held. Important matters discussed included plans for a Class Gift, donation of a photo- mural for the walls of the Refectory, and election of officers. Items one and two were referred to committee. Item three meant the re-election of the incumbents. Although dampened slightly by rain, the Alumni Field Day proved an agreeable Saturday afternoon attraction, followed by a terrific clambake at Peleg Francis Farm. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Fuqua from Waukegan. 111., won the prize for the greatest distance traveled. Dean Charles Watts spoke on some of the goals of the University after the bake, with the evening concluded with dancing to Tommy Masso's band and a songfest led by Ed Phillips.

One of the highlights of the Field Day was the sight of Secretary Ro- land Jones chugging around the bases in his rain coat after hitting a game-winning home run against Prof. Elmer Blisteins Faculty-Administration team. 1950 Close to 200 returned to College Hill to enjoy the lOth Reunion. Thanks largely to the detailed planning of Reunion Chairman John Lyons, the men of '50 went back home feeling a much stronger tie to their Class and their College — in short, as better alumni. Festivities started Friday afternoon with a cocktail party at the Phi Kappa Psi house in the Wriston Quadrangle. One of the highlights of this event was the ap- pearance of Rip Engle and his wife, who motored in from Penn State just to be with the Class on Friday afternoon and evening. Following the cocktail party, some of Rip's former players and friends had a dinner for him at the Grist Mill. Included in that group were Don Colo, Ed Kiely, Milt Hodosh, Bob O'Day, Arnie Green, Jack Thompson, and Bob Rougvie of Rip's "8 for 9 in '49" team. Meanwhile, other mem- bers of the Class attended the Alumni Din- ner, while the ladies had an affair of their own at the Minden. Saturday started with a Milk Punch Brunch at Carr's. This stag affair was fol- lowed by the Class Meeting at the Metcalf Lab, at which the Class voted to appropri- ate $1,200 from the treasury toward a suitable 10th Reunion gift to Brown. Presi- dent Kiely also noted that the Class had donated a photo-mural for the walls of the Sharpe Refectory. The following officers were elected for the period 1960-65: Pres- ident — C. Edward Kiely; Vice-President — Jack Schreiber; Secretary — Bob Cummings; Treasurer — Bill Mayer; Assistant Treasurer — Randy Bliss; Reunion Chairman — John Lyons; 25th Year Gift Chairman — Gordon Waters; Class Agent — Jay Barry.

A special guest at the tent was a 1929 Packard ambulance which was con- verted into something resembling a sta- tion wagon about 12 years ago. The car (?) was a rather familiar sight at Brown during the undergraduate days of its owner, Zeke Marshall. Although unu.sed 1950 Cited a Classmate at Its 10th THE ANNUAL achievement award of the Class of 1950 went at the 10th anni- versary reunion to John F. Barry, Jr., As- sistant Editor of the Brown Alumni Monthly, with a citation which recognized a variety of "significant contributions to your University and your community." John J. Harrington, Chairman of the Awards Committee, said: "In your chosen profession — educational promotion — you have earned the confidence of the Univer- sity, the respect of your colleagues, and the affection of all Brown alumni." The Class President, C. Edward Kiely, also took part in the ceremony which was a feature of the 1950 reunion. The citation continued: "While giving unstintingly of yourself to many endeavors, you have also exhibited devotion to your family and concern for its welfare. You especially appreciate the encouragement and support given by your admiring wife. Your geniality, gentle per- suasiveness and consummate tact — blended with your convictions and perseverance — A BOWL FOR JAY: Edward Kiely, 1950 President, right, and this magazine's John F. Barry, Jr. aid you greatly in achieving your objec- tives. "Your continuous love for sporting events has led you to undertake numerous activities on behalf of community and Uni- versity teams — including the chairmanship for both the Rose Bowl and Iron Men an- niversary celebrations. Currently writing the history of Brown football, you will soon have reached your ultimate in this aspect of your broad interests. "As a professional staff member, you have contributed within the University by serving as committee chairman on the Fac- ulty Club Board of Governors. As an in- terested alumnus you have since 1952 served as Class Agent in each annual Uni- versity Fund Drive. Long and well have you served on the Class Council, as a member of its E.xecutive Committee. "Participating in the life of your com- munity, you were chosen to serve on the committee to plan a new high school — a major project for your town. Last year, at a crucial period in the development of the Rhode Island United Fund, you performed so ably as the Area Chairman for three important communities that more money than ever before was raised for the services rendered by the 87 agencies in the total area covered. "Your most cherished event is the na- tional recognition accorded to the album you edited ("Wriston and Brown"), and particularly the appreciation of President Eisenhower for your offering to the public the cogent thoughts of this great man who was also President of Brown. The incident which we select to typify your contribu- tions, however, is your decision to seek election to your town's School Committee. Against great odds, you were elected, be- cause people were convinced of your con- cern for good educational standards and facilities. To implement your convictions, you placed into a scholarship fund the en- tire salary to which you were entitled for many arduous evenings while serving as the Secretary of that group. Because of your actions, four young people have been aided in obtaining higher education, and your town is richer for your efforts on its behalf. "Throughout the years you have re- tained your essential humility — the charac- teristic that marks all men of wisdom and ability. We honor you as the classmate who truly is living up to the lofty ideals for which Brown stands."

Nothing is lost here in the slow drift of time, and always something is gained. — Harford Powel "52 in the Amlovcr Bulletin for the past decade, the Packard, with the help of a new battery, made it into Provi- dence from Lincoln and seemed to enjoy the reunion. The feature event on the week end pro- gram was the dinner-dance Saturday eve- ning at the Metacomet Country Club in East Providence. While 232 classmates and their ladies enjoyed a steak dinner, they heard Bill Mayer read off the results of the anonymous questionnaire, results which in- dicated that the Class has two millionaires. Jay Barr\', Assistant Editor of the Brown Alumni Monthly, was awarded the annual Class of "50 .Achievement Award for "sig- nificant contributions to his University and his community." Jim Brown, who had just returned from Europe, won the trip for two to Bermuda. Activities Sunday slowed down a bit. However, about 35 couples gathered at the Brown Yacht Club for a beer party, which was later continued for a substantial num- ber of hours at the home of President Kiely. Monday morning, 40 classmates, wearing the popular '50 hats, marched down College Hill behind the two '50 Class Marshals, President Kiely and Secretary Cummings.

The highlight of Friday's festivities was the Class cocktail party at Caswell House, At the annual Class Meeting Sat- urday morning, plans for the 10th Reunion were discussed. The group named Richard Craik as Chairman of a Nominating Com- mittee to select a slate of officers for pres- entation at the 10th Reunion. He will make a preliminary report to the Execu- tive Committee in the fall. In other busi- ness, the Class voted to continue annual dues of $2. A good crowd was on hand Saturday afternoon at the Class tent at the Alumni Field Day. 1955 Eighty-six classmates returned to Col- lege Hill, established headquarters at Marcy House and Kappa Sigma fraternity, and enjoyed a fine four-day week end. Starting with a reception on Friday after- noon, the schedule included all the tradi- tional University events, including the new and popular Alumni Field Day. The Class Dinner was held Saturday night at Lind- sey's Tavern, with John Mclntyre, Secre- tary to the President, as guest speaker. An election of officers was held at the Class Meeting, with the following results: President — Robert Borah; Vice-President — David Zucconi; Secretary — John T. Houk, Jr.; Assistant Secretary — Francis C. Man- gione; Treasurer — John J. Monaghan; Clas^, Agent — Tom Walker. The Class voted to establish dues of $2.00. with the first solic- itation to come in the fall. The Class also discussed the type of speaker they would prefer to have take part in the Bigelow Lecture Series, which was subsidized by '55 at the time of its graduation. Ted Bar- rows was thanked for designing and pro- ducing the Class emblem. Bob Borah was Reunion Chairman, and he was assisted by Fred Barrows, Charlie Brown, Donald R. DeCiccio. Del Visco, Mort Gilstein, Don Janis, Francis Man- gione, and Dave Zucconi.

"My academic kinsmen, it is a nostalgia which will go on forever, recurrently like a petit mal." — Ralph L. Kinsey. As the Chairmen "Rotate 1 1 SIX Departments at Brown University will have new Chairmen for the aca- demic year ahead, as the policy of rotating responsibility continues. Two classmates, long at the head of important Depart- ments, are among those laying aside their chairmanships: Prof. J. Walter Wilson '18, Chairman of the Department of Biology since 1944, and Prof. C. Raymond Adams '18, Chairman of the Department of Math- ematics since 1942. The former will be succeeded by Prof. Mac V. Edds, the latter by Prof. David Gale. Otherchanges affect the following: Amer- ican Civilization — Prof. Hyatt H. Wag- goner to succeed Prof. William G. Mc- Loughlin, Jr., who is going on sabbatical. English — Prof. Edward A. Bloom to suc- ceed Prof. George K. Anderson. Physics — Prof. Robert W. Morse to succeed Prof. Arthur O. Williams, Jr. Religious Studies — Prof. Ernest S. Frerichs, Acting Chairman for one year while Prof. Stephen T. Crary is on leave. "The men who are laying aside their chairmanships have served the University extremely well," Dr. Keeney said in his Report to the Corporation in June. "We owe them our great thanks." "The Division of Modern Languages had attained such size and complexity that it was becoming increasingly difficult for an individual to supervise all its activities," the President continued. "Therefore, we have divided the Division into five Depart- ments, which are to be held together by a Council of Languages and Literatures. Prof. Hunter Kellenberger, the present Chairman of the Division, becomes Chair- man of the Council." The Departments and Chairmen will be as follows: French — Professor Kellenberger; German — Prof. W. Freeman Twaddell; Linguistics — Professor Twaddell; Slavic — Prof. Edward J. Brown; Spanish-Italian — Prof. Juan Lopez-Morillas. Five members of the Brown Faculty have received Guggenheim Fellowships for the coming year; four have received Ful- brights; one has received a Howard Fel- lowship; and nine have received other fel- lowships. Several have been honored by election to academies in this country or abroad or by specified awards. 71 liROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY A Triumvirate to Toast THREE SENIOR MEMBERS of the BrOWn University Faculty retired on July 1, having received special appreciative atten- tion throughout the final weeks of their last term. In the press and at departmental functions, friendly dinners, alumni gather- ings, and the meeting of the Corporation they were accorded fresh recognition from those who knew their worth. There was one, oddly enough, from each of the three major academic disciplines in the curricu- lum: humanities, social studies, and sci- ence. They were marked by professional distinction, teaching skill, high reputation, and a rare humanity in which friendship with students and colleagues was active. Their names: Robert H. George, Charles H. Stuart '19, and Otto van Koppenhagen. Their aggregate service at Brown was 87 fruitful years. In his report to the Corporation, Pres- ident Keeney noted the official retirement with the following statements: "Robert H. George received his Bach- elor's degree from Amherst in 1911, his Master's and Doctor's from Harvard in 1913 and 1916. On his 45th anniversary, Amherst conferred an honorary L.H.D. His teaching at Yale was interrupted by service as a Captain in the Army from 1917 to 1919 and as a staff member of the Amer- ican Commission to Negotiate Peace in 1919. After service at Yale and Union, he came to Brown as an Associate Professor of History in 1923 and advanced to full Professor in 1939. He was Chairman of his Department from 1955 to 1957, having been acting Chairman in 1947-48. "He returned to the Army in 1942, serving as a Major in Special Services and then as Historian of the 9th Air Force with rank of Lieutenant Colonel from 1943 to 1945. "For many years he has conducted the introductory course in European History with learning, rigor, wit. and charm, show- ing marked ability to transmit his skill to younger members of the staff. He has also been effective in individual student confer- ence, having a talent for arousing latent in- terest. He has long handled, efficiently and diplomatically, the difficult and complicated details of numerous academic occasions. "Charles A. Stuart, Robert P. Brown Professor of Biology, has spent his adult life on this Campus. He received his Bach- elor's degree in 1919, Master's in 1921, and Doctor's in 1923. Having served as Assistant in Biology from 1921 to 1923, he was made Instructor in 1923 and passed through the grades to Associate Professor in 1930 and Professor in 1944. "His research has dealt primarily with bacteriology, and reprints of his numerous articles have been requested by scholars and scientists around the world. He has lectured at the Rhode Island Hospital School of Nursing since 1925 and served as Chairman of the State Board of Basic Science Examiners since 1941. He has been Consulting Bacteriologist at Chapin Hospital and an Associate in the Provi- dence Health Department. In 1956 he was President of the Society of American Bac- teriologists and is a member of many pro- fessional associations related to his field. He will continue his researches after re- tirement. "Otto van Koppenhagen came to Brown as Visiting Assistant Professor of Music in 1949, was made Assistant Profes- sor the following year and Associate Pro- fessor in 1957; he retires with the rank of full Professor. "Born in Holland, he developed his tal- ents through private study and in Euro- pean conservatories. He played in orches- tras and chamber music organizations and concertized abroad before coming to this country. From 1922 to 1943 he played with the New York Philharmonic and also with chamber music groups, at the Library of Congress and elsewhere. For 27 sum- mers he has given and conducted chamber music concerts at Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard. "His skill, enthusiasm, and warm per- sonality quickly made him welcome in Providence, where he has been principal cellist with the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra, has helped to develop the Youth Orchestra, and encouraged symphony con- certs for children. On Campus he has taught and coached student players, as- sisted in coaching our orchestra and small ensembles, as well as played in them and our University String Quartet. "While the active Chairman of the Faunce House Advisory Board from 1951 to 1958, he organized a series of informal musicals in the West Lounge. He has given unstintingly of his time, talent, and warmth. Many of his wide circle of friends became interested in Brown because he was here." President Keeney also paid tribute to Ralph L. Blanchard. Professor Emeritus of English, who died on Jan. 24. "Throughout his career," said Dr. Keeney. "he was known as a thorough, effective, and exact- ing teacher of English composition, setting high standards for himself and his stu- dents. He unstintingly devoted time to con- ferences and enjoyed entertaining classes in his home. He was unwaveringly loyal to his country, his University, and his friends." Professor Blanchard received his Bach- elor of Arts degree from Brown in 1915 and his Master's in 1916. After a year as Assistant in English and one as Assistant in Mathematics, he enlisted in the Army and was discharged at the close of the First World War with the rank of Captain. Fol- lowing teaching experience in preparatory schools, he returned to Brown as an In- structor in English in 1930, advanced to Assistant Professor in 1937 and Associate PROF. CHARLES A. STUART '19 will keep on with researches though retiring this year. Professor 10 years later. He retired in 1957 with the rank of full Professor. During the Second World War. he served as a Major in the Chemical Warfare Corps and later helped to reorganize several Ger- man communities, returning to the Campus with seven battle stars and the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Phi Beta Kappa The Rhode Island Alpha of Phi Beta Kappa, holding its 131st annual meet- ing on the Brown Campus at Commence- ment time, re-elected all of its officers for another year: President — Walter Adler '18, Providence attorney; Vice-President — Prof. Arlan R. Coolidge '24; Secretary — Prof. Elmer M. Blistein "42; Treasurer — Ronald B. Smith '23; Historian— Prof. William T. Hastings '03; and Auditor — George L. Miner '97; Committee Chairmen — Prof. David D. Warren '45 of U.R.I, (alumni and honorary membership). Dr. Wendell Dietrich (arrangements), and Knight Ed- wards '45 (nomination of officers). President Adler reported that 28 Brown undergraduates and 18 Pembroke students had been elected to the Chapter during the year; 20 students elected in June were initiated following the business meeting. The Rhode Island Alpha added, through gift, the Phi Beta Kappa keys of Harvey J. Swann '05, M. Grace Frost '09, and M. E. Broadbent '26 during the year. Its collection has become an interesting and impressive one, which also memorializes the individuals who wore the keys. Prof. Robert W. Kenny '25, Chairman of the Committee for the Observance of the Brown Bicentennial, was the luncheon speaker, outlining some of the preliminary plans for the ceremonies, publications, and other activity leading up to the anniversary year of 1964. He is preparing an article on the subject for early fall publication in this magazine. JULY 1960 75 The Brown Clubs Report The Engineers' Colloquy TTTHAT Is THE FUTURE of Engincer- V V ing Education?'" An articulate and thoughtful panel of five gave some opin- ions before the Brown Engineering Associa- tion, assembled for its annual spring meet- ing in Providence on May 6. It made for a lively discussion as the men were presented by bean Watts: Stephen A. McClellan '23, President of Specialties. Inc., Syosset. L. I.; Dr. F. Karl Willenbrook '42. Director of the Gordon McKay Laboratory at Har- vard: Joseph Motherway '52, Senior Proj- ect Engineer for Remington Rand in South Norwalk, Conn.: Rowland A. Beers. Personnel Manager for Metals and Con- trols Division of Texas Instruments. Inc.. .•\ttleboro: and Prof. D. C. Drucker of the Brown Engineering Faculty. "Something basic holds the Brown En- gineering .Association together." said Pres- ident Ralph C. Knight "21 in opening the meeting. In its 49th year, the Association is unique among Brown alumni, he pointed out: there is no association of Brown Phi- losophers, no affiliated alumni group from Modern Languages or English Depart- ment. "There is no more friendly alumni group, nor any more worthwhile." he said. President Knight presented for the BEA a check for $500 to Prof. Paul Maeder for the Division's use. Prof. William R. Ben- ford '27 acted for the Division in present- ing to John V. Solomon the Hamilton Award, unusual in that it goes to an en- gineering student who has also undertaken studies in the social sciences or humanities with credit. Leading off for the panel. McClellan warned against standardizing engineering education, for the effective engineer must do his own thinking. Brown, he said, was right in stressing the fundamentals and had taken the lead in overcoming teaching techniques in engineering. He saw a need for balancing the areas of interest, for en- gineering is not alone isolated as a profes- sion. "The humanists need someone to lead them home, and the practical people need someone to explain what it's all about." Too narrow a preparation might be good engineering but poor citizenship. Engineer- ing problems also needed definition before the attempt to solve them — otherwise en- gineering time would be wasted. Dr. Willenbrook. a champion of re- search, said getting a modern engineering education was like trying to get a drink from a firehose. There is so much material rushing by: the problem was to keep up to date and contemporary, to teach a man to adapt to new situations. He favored the concept of undergraduate studies as pre- engineering. with engineering specialties in the graduate area. Motherway liked the Brown program as preparation for management, though there was a future for the technically trained man in design. Management could not be the immediate goal, of course, for a preliminary had to be sound professional competence. Still, too many engineers lacked leadership skills, he felt, notably the ability to express themselves. Profession- alism and pride needed to be instilled. There were too many "neithers." men with a speaking acquaintanceship with engineer- ing but with qualification for neither re- search, design, nor management. He saw a need to develop creativity in the well- founded man. Beers predicted that the technically ori- ented companies would dominate our econ- omy, companies alert to planned innova- tion and staffed by men "who make things happen." The rapid change of modern times was staggering: man used to be born and die in the same society but no more. Engineers needed to be versatile and flex- ible, especially with the new opportunities in the world market. The technically trained Back Cover Overflow Expanding alumni activity is re- flected in the crowded situation in the directory of Brown Club Secre- taries listed on the back cover of this issue. Some of the less active groups have had to be omitted from that compilation but are noted be- low.

But the future engineer must be ready to spend more time on his education, with more work in the humanities and behavioral sci- ences and graduate engineering study. Professor Drucker said the Brown engi- neering curriculum was constantly reviewed not only for factual detail but for basic principles. But he felt that, if a student PROGRAM CHAIRMAN Edgar C.

Photo by Arnold Walter, Stamford. misses detail, he misses the engineering way of life. An engineer was not a second- rate scientist but one who uses science. Dr. Drucker said he still believed in the four-year engineering program, for one could not postpone engineering study too long. If a man were heading for research, it was impossible — without graduate study, of course — to raise the level of abstract thinking. Still, many of the old graduate studies were now old hat as the result of technical progress. One had to remember that a course had not only intrinsic merit but was important for the way of thinking it developed. Members of the large audience contrib- uted their own ideas and their questions, showing no more unanimity than the panel had. But all agreed it had been a stimulat- ing evening. There were congratulations for Ed Loud '27, who had handled the arrangements as Executive Director for Rhode Island. August 8 Is Maine's Date The experiment went so well last year that they are going to do it again down in Maine. The Coast of Maine Brown Club will hold its summer luncheon on Monday. Aug. 8 at the County Fair, Damariscotta, where Vice-President Lawson M. Aldrich '33 sets a fine table. Brunonians on holiday in the area are invited to join in on the fun with the year-rounders. York A. King, Jr., "34. who is helping with publicity, writes: "At least a dozen men at Commencement told me they plan to attend, and we expect to have a few other intimate strangers drop in for old time's sake as the result of your notice. George Williams is primed, and we're sure Bill Burnham will follow through in his inimitable fashion." The Dean on Long Island Dr. Charles H. Watts, Dean of the College, spoke at the 11th annual dinner- meeting of the Brown Club of Long Island Apr. 13 at the Salisbury Club. Dean Watts discussed the nature of undergraduate study at Brown and the admission problem being faced now and to be faced in the years to come. He finished by withstanding a good barrage of questions in an informal question-and-answer period following his talk. Those present included: John J. Roe, Jr., '27, Horace H.

Watson, Jr., '37 was the fea- tured speaker at the annual meeting of the Brown Club of Fairfield County, Conn., on Apr. 19 at the Darien Country Club. One of the largest turnouts in the Club's his- tory, 120 people, heard the National Chair- man speak on the Brown Bicentennial Pro- gram and trace Brown's growth through the years to its current position as one of the nation's great universities. In a short business meeting, Samuel J. McDonald '38 was elected President of the Club, succeeding Rowland A. Crowell '34. Other officers elected are as follows: Vice- President — Hugh H. Conklin '37: Secre- tary — Alan P. Fort, Jr., '53; Treasurer — David E. Oppenheimer '44. The following men were elected to the Board of Directors: David E. Flavin '50, William J. Maguire, Jr., '51, Hugh S. But- ler '32, Carleton E. Hammond "34, Vincent J. Reade, Jr., '35, William K. White, Jr., '38, and Crowell. NORM WAKEMAN '36 South Shore Activities Irving A. Hall, Jr., '39 was elected President of the South Shore Brown Club at the annual dinner-dance held at the Old Blacksmith Shop in Whitman. Mass., on May 14. Other officers elected include: Vice-President — Henry G. Phelps '39; Sec- retary — Henry A. Ferrari '50; Treasurer — F. William Lawton '44. As an innovation. President "Shine" Hall made arrangements for the Club to secure JULY 1960 77 a small multi-colored tent for use at the Alumni Field Day on Saturday afternoon of Commencement Week End. Including wives and children, close to 80 people from the South Shore area made the jour- ney to Aldrich-Dexter Field for this in- formal reunion activity. The new Club banner was put to good use, as it was hung from the front of the tent. The ne.xt function will be the annual Sub-Freshman Cookout to be held on Sat- urday afternoon, Aug. 27, at Dutch Phelps" in Scituate, on the North River near Route 3A. The affair, which will get under way at 2 p.m.. will find the Club acting as host to the students planning to enter Brown in the fall, as well as their parents. HENRY A. FERRARI '50 Toledo Got Good Publicity "Brown Alumni Recall New England Days," said the headline in the Toleilo Blade, which gave an eight-column spread to the meeting of Brunonians on May 4 (Rhode Island Independence Day) at Car- ranor. Though there are only 40 alumni in northwestern Ohio, the paper noted ihat 20 of them were present. They are not formally organized in a Brown Club, but, thanks to the initiative of Howard W. Wilson "29, they have met twice within the year. The May meeting was featured by the presence of Provost Bliss from Providence. He led a discussion on academic and en- rollment trends, while talk of Brown's future was balanced with recollection. Ad- missions made an appropriate topic since Leonard Canner '40 has been effective in representing Brown in the Toledo area in contacts with schools. His report was that 12 had applied for next fall's Class, with two accepted as of the meeting night. Dr. James Q. Dealey, Jr., '20. Edgar Bennett '27, and John A. Zinke '44 were named a steering committee to consider the future of the alumni group in Toledo and the character of its activities. Others present were: William B. Baxter '45, Carl W. Cahill GS '32, Mrs. Canner, John Crowley '37 and Mrs. Crowley, Mrs. Dealey, James H. Flynn '35 and Mrs. Flynn, Rabbi Morton Goldberg '35 and Mrs. Goldberg, Dr. Ernest Gray '24 and Mrs. Gray (Pembroke '23), Burton L. Jamieson. Jr., '36 and Mrs. Jamieson, Wil- liam M. Robertson, Jr., '51, Frank Ryan '61 and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Burt T. Ryan, Mrs. Wilson, and Mrs. Zinke. (Mrs. Wilson is President of the Toledo Sweet Briar Alumnae Club.) Illness prevented several others from attending. David Ha- weeli '42 did not return from Geneva in time for the meeting. He's moving there soon on business. Cleveland Elects Joe Adams '50, Chief Engineer at the Bettcher Mfg. Corp., has been elected President of the Cleveland Brown Club. Other officers named are: Secretary — Ted Selover '52; Treasurer — Harry Hoffman '25. Activities since the first of the year in- cluded a dinner on Feb. 25 at which Dr. A. C. Jones of Standard Oil of the Ohio Research Lab spoke on satellite tracking, and a luncheon on Apr. 12 with Dr. Har- old R. Nace of the Brown Chemistry De- partment on hand with some provocative thoughts on the status of science at Brown and in the secondary schools. Plans for the summer include a beach party at the Rocky River home of Jack Novatney's father on July 9 and then the annual Sub-Freshmen picnic at Roger Young's home on Aug. 30. TED SELOVER '52 R. I. Elects Pretat WILLIAM Lawrence's appearance be- fore the Brown Club of Rhode Island could not have been more timely. The New York Times correspondent from Washington was the speaker at the annual meeting on May 26 while the break-up of the Summit Conference was still a fresh and lively topic. As President of the Na- tional Press Club, he had conducted the luncheon conference with Khrushchev in Washington and had other personal experi- ence on which to base his prepared talk and his answers in the lively discussion period. Richard B. Pretat was elected President of the Club to succeed Maury Caito, while other officers were chosen as follows: Vice- President — Donald Campbell; Secretary — Raymond F. Noonan; Treasurer — Alfred S. Reynolds, succeeding William McCraw; Directors — John H. Bateman. Allen Chat- terton, Paul O'M. Connly, Alexander A. DiMartino, William Goldberg, Dr. Stanley T. Grzebien, Alfred S. Joslin. Dr. Walter J. F. Jusczyk, C. Edward Kiely, Stanton M. Latham, James T. Lodge. Hugo S. Mainelli, Jr., David J. Meehan, H. Clinton Owen, Ernest T. Savignano, Donald M. Sennott, Matthew E. Ward, and Thomas Yatman. J. Richmond Fales retired after many years of service. Joseph Thompson was Dinner Chairman, while Owen presided as toastmaster. Among those called on for brief remarks were: Chancellor Harold B. Tanner; Norman Sprinthall. Director of Student Aid; and Coach John McLaughry. More than 125 attended the dinner at the Wannamoisett Country Club. Seventy golfers took part in the tourney earlier in the day, with prizes distributed by Chairman Joseph Olney to the follow- ing: Ned Dewey, first gross. Prescott Bearce. Dr. Jusczyk. Lawrence, Thompson, DiMartino, Al Hunt, Ed Drew, Savigno, Pete McCarthy, Ed Butner, John Gross, Eben Church, and Olney. In South County, R.I. Forty-eight South County Brown Club members met at Larchwood Inn, Wake- field, May 6 for their fourth annual charter dinner meeting. Reports were given by the officers who were re-elected as follows: President — H. M. Hofford "23: Secretary — Foster Sheldon "3 1 ; Treasurer — Harold Rogers '27. Arthur E. Miller "22 was Chairman of the Nominations Committee. Edmund J. Farrell '30 was named chair- man of the promotion committee, and re- ported on negotiations to conduct a con- cert by the Brown Glee Club Sunday afternoon, Nov. 20, in Edwards Hall at the University of Rhode Island. The program will be a joint concert with the URl Chorus. Guests present were Alex DiMartino, John Bateman, and Dr. Walter Jusczyk, who plan to organize a Kent County Brown Club. Among the door prizes were two tickets for each Monday opening night of the Matunuck summer Theater-bv-the-Sea, two 78 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY box seats to a Red Sox game in Fenway Park, two car lubrications, an imported English tie, two bottles of wine, and din- ners for two at the Coast Guard House, the Rome Restaurant in North Attleboro, General Stanton Inn, and the Meadow- brook Inn. Robert W. Leonard "38 was Chairman of the Program Committee, assisted by Miller and Robert W. Rodman, Jr., '24. Representative Charles Bechtold was un- able to serve as toastmaster because of the closing session of the R. I. General Assem- bly that night. Two Detroit Meetings More than 60 Brunonians were on hand to greet Provost Zenas R. Bliss '18, including his classmate Octave P. Beau- vais and Mrs. Beauvais, when the Mich- igan Brown Club held its annual dinner meeting at the Oakland Hills Country Club on May 6. They found the Provost's talk interesting, informative, and amusing. This was the first function that the Club has held in the Northwest section of Greater Detroit for some time. Judging by the enthusiastic turnout, we shall be hold- ing at least some of our gatherings in that area in the future. In addition to hearing one of the top officers of the University, the dinner was designed to acquaint the new Sub-Freshmen and their parents with Brown men and Pembroke alumnae. Among those present: John W. Sanders "26 and Mrs. Sanders, Richard Grout "42 and Mrs. Grout, Walt Jackson '39 and Mrs. Jackson, Allen Aikens, III, "48 and Mrs. Aikens, Edmund R.

SELLECK '51 DINNER COMMITTEE for the South County Brown Club: left to right— Ar- thur E. Miller '22, Robert W. Leonard '38, Chair- man, and Robert F. Rod- man, Jr., '24. Serenading Down South We've heard nothing but praise for the Brown University Glee Club in the wake of its spring tour of the South. By plane and bus, the 40 men covered 4000 miles of travel for concerts in Georgia, Texas, Louisiana, North Caro- lina, and the District of Columbia. The tour opened in Decatur, Ga., when the Club ofl'ered a joint concert on Apr. 2 with the Agnes Scott College Glee Club. The Brahms Schicksalslied was the work in which the two groups combined. Co- sponsorship of the Brown Club of Atlanta was acknowledged in the program, which listed the officers: James M. Libby '34, Earl H. Metzger, Jr., '39, Raymond E. Russell '49, and Paul F. Thompson, Jr., '50. President Alston of Agnes Scott sub- sequently wrote his assurance of a warm welcome any time the Brunonians could re- turn: "the entire event was most success- ful." Eugene O'Brien '19 thought "both Clubs did as fine a job of college singing as I have ever heard." The Brown alumni in Dallas sponsored the concert on Apr. 4 in the Chapel of St. Mark's School of Texas, where John R. Caldow '20 of St. Mark's was in charge of arrangements. Other committeemen in- cluded: Wesby R. Parker '24, Robert C. Lunn '54, Coburn A. Buxton '34, and A. A. Hooper '49. Newspaper ads offered a "special reminder to friends of the Ivy League" and a welcome to singing groups and high school students. A TV concert over KRLD was a feature of the Dallas stay, which brought the Club some cordial mail. Parker wrote enthusiastically about the concert, adding: "I am sure we got a lot of mileage out of the television and radio performances, too." The Music Department of Newcomb College and the Brown Club of Louisiana sponsored the Apr. 6 concert in New Or- leans. Dr. Dean H. Echols '27, one of the principal patrons, thought it "a terrific JULY 1960 79 PRESIDENT Eddy greets the man who will succeed him, Stanley Mathes. success." "The hoys seemed almost pro- fessional," he said, "and the enthusiastic crowd did not want them to stop." There was a more informal concert when the singers took over Pat O'Brien's later in the evening. Next day a free afternoon by the Gulf featured a soft-ball game after which the winning pitcher was rewarded by a dunking. Bennett College offered the Brunonians as one of the events on its five-concert Lyceum Series in Greensboro, N. C, and Mount Vernon Junior College extended hospitality in Washington, D. C, for the program under the auspices of the Wash- ington Brown Club. Earle V. Johnson '24 was the alumni chairman for the latter, which had as sponsors: Senator Theodore Francis Green '87, Dr. James V. Bennett '18, the Rev. Dr. Charles D. Kean '30, Dr. Richard H. Howland '31, and Wendell B. Barnes '32. The Club officers are: Richard B. Phillips '50, Paul W. McGann '38, Richard White '50. and George Viault '26. "No program at Mount Vernon was ever more enthusiastically received," said a fan letter. The Glee Club also sang at a Palm Sunday Evensong at the Washington Cathedral. Paul Callaway, Organist and Choirmaster, wrote the next day of his appreciation, noting that the program had been arranged so that it was suitable for the day. He spoke of the Club's "beautiful training and excellent singing." He would be delighted if the Brown men returned another year. The touring group included a Brass Quartet and organist, who assisted in the spectacular "Dirge for Two Veterans" by Hoist, which was inevitably the pre-inter- mission finale. The Bruinaires also pro- vided their own lighter area in each pro- gram. Most concerts included the special arrangement ot Brown songs by Erich Kunzel, the Director. Spring intentions for 1961 call for an itinerary that would include Ohio, New "Vork, Canada, and Massachusetts. The Glee Club issued its own record in March of "Songs of Brown and Favorite Concert Selections." Drawing largely upon the 1960 concert repertoire, the record is available at $4 from the Department of Music at Brown and the University Book- store. Carillon Records produced the LP, and the jacket has a fine color shot of University Hall. You Elected: STANLEY F. Mathes '39 was named Pres- ident-elect of the Associated Alumni in the general balloting for alumni posts this June. The Providence business man will serve on the Board of Directors for a year before succeeding C. Manton Eddy '22 of Hartford in July, 1961. Another alumni choice was that of Alden R. Walls '31 of Old Greenwich, Conn., to be a member of the Athletic Advisory Council for three years, succeeding William N. Ormsby '16 of Boston. Walls will join Earl B. Nichols '43 and Foster B. Davis, Jr., '39, both of Providence, who continue as the other alumni representatives. In regional voting, the alumni picked some new Directors of the association: Roger W. Shattuck '29 of Rumford, for the R. I. Region: Paul W. Holt '36 of Mil- ford, Conn., for the New England Region (outside of R. L); Edward Sulzberger '29 of New York, North Atlantic Midland; George F. Foley '24 of St. Petersburg, Fla., South Atlantic Midland: Russell D. Scribner '27 of Wilmette, 111., North Cen- tral: Harry W. Newhard '53, South Cen- tral: and Stephen H. Dolley '42, Lx>s An- geles. Western. Mathes, the President-elect, is President of Hartwell Company, pipe-fabricators af- filiated with the Grinnell Corporation. He is President of the Board of Trustees of Lincoln School, Providence: a new Trustee of People's Savings Bank, a Director of Lincoln Pearson Corp., and a former Di- rector of the Providence YMCA and Junior Achievement. His activities in alumni ranks have been many and varied over the years: Past President and Secretary of the Brown Club of Rhode Island, former President of his Class, Chairman in 1955 of the Prov- idence Area for the Brown University Fund (of which he has been a Trustee), former Vice-President and Director of the Asso- ciated Alumni, and a member of numerous alumni committees. His Brown degree was an Sc.B. in Engineering. Walls will bring to the Athletic Council a background of participation in two sports and an interest in others. He was a mem- ber of the Varsity soccer and hockey teams for three years and Captain in the latter sport for the 1930-31 season. Yachting is a hobby which he has pursued in Rhode Island, Georgia, and Connecticut both com- petitively and recreationally; he is a for- mer Commodore of the Rhode Island Yacht Club. A sales executive in the tex- tile field. Walls is with J. P. Stevens and Co., Inc., of New York. He was formerly President of the Brown Club of Georgia, a Town Chairman for the Brown Univer- sity Fund, and New York Chairman for the Hockey Rink Committee. For New Jersey Schoolboys The Brown Club of Northeastern New Jersey held its second annual Sub-Fresh- man Dinner on Apr. 19 at the Ridgewood Country Club. Forty boys who had been recommended by the University as out- standing applicants from the area were in- vited. Guest speakers included Arthur Ta> - lor of the Admission Office, Head Football Coach John J. McLaughry, and Backfield Coach Milt Piepul. The affair climaxed several months of activity on the part of the Club's Admission Guidance Commit- tee, and it was expected that a number of well-rounded boys would be at Brown in the fall as the result of these efforts. CLAY TIMBRELL "42 Bcston's Annual Dinner Forty-one members of the Boston Brown Club gathered at their new home, the University Club, on May 9 for the an- nual Spring Dinner. The kickoff came at 5:30 when Brown met Harvard in football, on film. As was the case last Homecoming Day, the Bruins won, but Coach John Mc- Laughry and his line coach. Red Gowen, had a little more time in May to describe the action. The social hour at 6 was fol- lowed by the buffet dinner at 7. Following so closely on a large banquet in the interests of the Bicentennial Fund, the Club kept the program informal with the emphasis on athletics. 80 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Carrying the Mail The Last St. Pat's Show Sir: To get the very confused record straight, "Red Hot Martha" in 1925 (not "The Plastered Duchess" of 1924) was the last St. Patrick's Day Show. The paragraphs in Professor Light's Genius on Campus mix up the two shows. That in 1925 was loosely based on Percy Mark's book. Martha. It was from this that Pro- lessor Light derives the theme song. It was for "Martha," too, that Sid Perel- man painted a front curtain, not a back- drop, of campus caricatures that was much more realistic than "sur." The curtain was cut up in my room in what we called the Admiral's Inn after the performance as the only material evidence that there had been a show. The script and the lyrics were written on odd scraps of paper de- stroyed in rehearsal when the cast had more or less memorized them. Admission, I recall, was 35^ — and $5 for a member of the Faculty (that barred them: but I seem to recall that Professor Ben Clough, a great favorite of most of the group, was smuggled in). There was no program. thoughtfully, so the Brown Archives may not be enriched in its collection of Restora- tion classics. No repercussions ever came from the Dean's Office, not even a twitter. As I wrote the lyrics and what book anyone remembered on stage, and as I played the leading male role, I may say this with authority. Nor was the show as such ever banned. However, in 1926 Dune Norton-Taylor, now Editor of Fortune but then Editor of the Brown Jug. and I initiated plans for a true musical comedy more on the idea of the Princeton Triangle shows. We hoped to enlist the Sock and Buskin and the Glee Club. I wrote a first act, set in Colonial times in the Golden Eagle tavern at the foot of the Hill. But Sock and Buskin backed out, and the project faded away. In the meantime, however. Dr. Faunce, with his eye on every sparrow under the elms, wrote me on campus a warm letter telling me of his pleasure that the St. Patrick's Day Show was to have new dignity. Our pseudo-ambitious plans alone halted what would surely have been another show in the bawdy manner. A review of "Red Hot Martha" appears in the 1925 Liber, page 274, which is as complete as any onlooker might manage after an hysterical evening, backstage and onstage and out front. I might add that what we thought was a shrewd touch was to have the principal chorus (harlots) composed of Cammarian Club members. The Junior Circus of 1925, however, was definitely the last. I rather think there were expulsions for that. I know there was severe disciplinary action since it turned into a drunken brawl, openly on the lower campus, to the indignation of many East Side residents who had brought their children. I was as conspicuous a participant as any since The Providence Journal featured on the front page a pho- tograph of myself as sort of "Eloise" and Jap Gude as ringmaster. I owe the fact that I was not "sent down" like John Mil- ton — Professor Bronson's seminar — be- cause I retired early to the stands and sat with three pals among the dormitory maids. When my name came up, Maggie Sherry, who cleaned the Dean's offices, spoke up from her pail and assured him I was just very properly "playing my part." She had known Dean Randall as a youth as "Otis." DORAN HURLEY '26 New York City (While biographies fail to accord author- ship of "Red Hot Martha" to Doran Hur- ley, they do list him as the writer of such books as "Monsignor," "The Old Parish," "Herself: Mrs. Patrick Crowley." and "Says Mrs. Crowley, Says She." — Ed.) Any Manuscript? Sir: I wish we could get a copy of that manuscript of "The Plastered Duchess." I knew that passage about "Red Hot Martha" never came from "The Duchess." The latter was beautifully written in blank verse — Frank Hough could write superb blank verse in the best Shakespearean style (but there was no market for it). In those days Ben Brown was a great one to drag out old, dusty plays that had rarely been performed. One of these was "The Duchess of Padua," so Sock and Buskin put it on during the winter, elab- orately and well. Oscar Wilde, according to a story, had boasted that "anyone could write a Shakespearean tragedy," so he went down to the country and dashed off "The Duchess," not a great play but a colorful one. So we decided to take it off in the St. Patrick's Day event. Red Reynolds was terrific as the Plastered Duchess. ... I do not recall Pep Weinstein being in it, but, if you have the cast, then he was. It was a rough and raucous presentation. Of the Faculty, I only recall that Percy Marks sneaked in and witnessed it and thought it highly entertaining. I don't think Dr. Faunce either saw it or would have thought it amusing if he had. It was more the type to appeal to Polly Adler. JOHN J. MONK '24 Chicago On Faunce's Carpet Sir: Robert Cushman Murphy's remi- niscences were interesting. Here's a story from my day: Prexy Faunce was pressing a close-mouthed student for facts about an exasperating episode, when the boy ejacu- lated: "God help me!" To this Dr. Faunce is alleged to have replied: "God won't help you. The Devil is helping you." W. S. STOWELL '08 Stoneham, Mass. Memories of The Sphinx Sir: Bill Hastings" article on The Sphinx brings back happy and significant mem- ories, which distract me from the work I ought to be doing. I remember vividly the night a well- known lecturer came to tell us that all meaning concerns not the present but the future. He wanted to try out his theory on The Sphinx before his paper was published. The group led by Albert Bennett tor- mented him about future meaning being always present when it arrived and, there- fore, meaningless according to his theory. The paper was not published. Later, when I invited him to come again, his answer was a query whether or not that "young hyena" was still running round loose. ALEX MEIKLEJOHN '93 Berkeley, Calif. Sir: Professor Hastings' article in the April issue is, by far, the most interesting one I have read in ages and is of consider- able nostalgic interest, too. I was present at that "scandalous" meeting in May, 1928, when the elections had to be postponed. The article tells much history which is new to most old members and will make others, like me. grateful to belong to such a goodly fellowship. Personally, my elec- tion to The Sphinx was the highest honor I received while an undergraduate. THE REV. DUNCAN ERASER '28 Canton, N.Y. Long Island Seminar? Sir: Congratulations on the part you and Brown played in the recent "Moonshoot- ers" insert on alumni. It takes a giant step in the direction of destroying the image of the bumbling, ineffectual alumnus. It brought to mind an idea that has been with me for some time: namely, an alumni seminar, of a high order, on crucial issues of our times. I know this is contem- plated for the Campus some time in the future, but I wonder if we here on Long Island might attempt it on a small scale. The results might serve as a basis for planning something more extensive later. Rather than have a member of the Fac- ulty address us, he might conduct a sem- inar. BENJAMIN W. MCKENDALL, JR., '52 Huntington, N. Y. Berna Confirms the Story Sir: Wiley Marble's letter in the May issue about the Taber-Jones mile brought news to me, for Tel Berna is retired here on Nantucket, as am I. Berna was the Cornell distance runner referred to by Marble. He confirms the Marble story and says the mile was so exhausting that he couldn't run his two-mile specialty later in the day. The Pennsylvania miler. by the way, was McCurdy. Berna greatly admired Taber, both as a runner and as a man. If any of that age of runners chances to get to this beauty spot, look up Berna or me. Small world. HOWARD C. BARBER '99 Nantucket, Mass. JULY 1960 81 FOOTBALL The coach still has his 1959 problems, but Brown may be good for some upsets. CAPTAIN BILL PACKER Your Football Tickets for 1960 Applications for tickets to Brown University football for 1960 appear on the •^»- facing page. You will NOT receive other application blanks in the mail. Please read these instructions and then fill in the appropriate coupons. Save the forms for games about which you wish to make later decision. By presenting your application blanks in the magazine (which goes to every alumnus). Brown will again save the costs of separate printing and mailing. We know that alumni understand and ap- prove this economy measure. In effect for several seasons, it has worked to the satisfaction of the Athletic Office ticket department and the football followers. In filling out each coupon for each game you wish to attend, please include the postal zone number in your address. If you have preference in location (high. low, middle height), please note. Otherwise the Athletic Office will use its best judgment, according to the seats available when your application is received. They are filled in order of receipt and get prompt, careful attention. Note that the closing date on each coupon is 16 days before the game in question and in advance of the general public sale. Your tickets will be mailed 10 days be- fore each game. Applications received later than the closing date are accorded attention, of course, but preferential treatment will no longer be automatic over that given the general public. Please make checks payable to "Brown University." (There is a 25(' charge for mailing.) Mail applications to the Division of Athletics, Box J. Brown University, Providence 12, R. I. There are reserved seats for all games, with two prices for most according to location. For home games there are also tickets at half-price for children under 12 years of age. None of the tickets is redeemable. The home schedule at Brown Field calls for four games with traditional rivals. two of them Ivy League teams. Included is the Homecoming game with Cornell on Nov. 5. Note that the Colgate game is on the Saturday BEFORE Thanksgiving Day. not on the holiday itself in 1960. JOHN McLaughry '40, starting his sec- ond year as football coach on the Hill, will be faced with some of the same prob- lems that confronted him a year ago — namely, an insufficient number of experi- enced first string players and lack of team depth. "The alumni shouldn't expect any great improvement over last year," Mc- Laughry noted. "However, we should have a team that could spring an upset here and there on any given afternoon against any club in the League." Last year, the Bruins posted a 2-6-1 record and finished seventh in the Ivy cir- cuit. Gone from that team as a result of graduation are 13 lettermen. including All- East fullback Paul Choquette. one of Brown's best running backs of recent years; All-Ivy tackle Tom Budrewicz; Capt. Bob Carlin, a fine halfback; and Charlie Olobri. a strong end. Two other men who played a great deal also will be missing: Tim Orcutt, first-string end last season as a Junior, has announced that he is withdrawing from school for the fall semester. Wendy LaFreniere, an outstand- ing center prospect as a Sophomore last year, transferred to the University of Massachusetts last winter. Eight lettermen, only four of whom were starters, are returning: Dick Laine at end. Harry Swanger at tackle. Bob Auchy at guard, Capt. Bill Packer at center, Jack Rohrbach at quarterback, Dave Tyler at tailback. Roger Cirone at wingback, and Ray Barry at fullback. Barry played wingback as a Sophomore in 1958 but was not in college last fall. It is significant to note that no more than one letterman is returning at any position. At least seven members of last year's victoryless Freshman team are being counted on to push the Varsity holdovers for top positions. While the Cubs were not a good team a year ago, there were a number of fine individual players. Three of these men could be in the starting lineup for the opening game. They're Looking for Ends Thus, while the overall prospects are about the same as last year, they are based on a different set of circumstances. A sea- son ago. Coach McLaughry was forced to build his first Brown team around a small core of outstanding veterans. Behind this group there was a sharp drop-off in ex- perience and 'or ability throughout the remainder of the squad. Although there is no single player on this year's squad who can be classed with a Choquette. Mc- Laughry feels that he has more players of equal ability and potential who can con- tribute offensively. Consequently he ex- pects to be able to exploit his side-saddle wing-T offense to a greater degree than he did last season when it was geared princi- pally to the multiple threats of his full- back. The end position could be one of Mc- Laughry 's trouble spots. While he will have more depth than last year, experience is still lacking; there is no one with out- standing all-around ability. Orcutt. who left college, was a good offensive end with a full year's Varsity experience. Laine. a 82 BROWN ALU.MM MONTHLV I960 FOOTBALL APPLICATIONS 1.

Dyer, a high school All- American out of Manchester, Conn., has great speed and ability but was bothered with bad ankles his first two years at Brown. Other men in contention include Gil Wright, a converted guard, Charlie Coe, a converted center, and Bill Wood, a chap who did a fine job wrestling in the unlimited division for the Bears last winter. Junior Bob Auchy and Sophomore John Homyak appear to have an edge to start at the guards. McLaughry is high on the former, terming him an outstanding line- man. Hornyak, Captain of the Cub team, is another player with great potential. Junior Jack Mancuso. hampered by in- juries last fall. Senior Paul Krause, and John Lavino, a converted halfback, will help shore up this position. Capt. Bill Packer is the only experienced operator at center as a result of LaFren- iere's leaving school. Dennis Redding, who played every backfield position with the Cubs last year, may be used as Packer's substitute, with defense as his primary mis- sion. He may also alternate at offensive center and quarterback. "Redding is a big, tough kid who wants to play football, the kind of boy you have to find a position for somewhere," McLaughry observed. Bill Caroselli, a Sophomore, will be groomed for relief work. Top Backfield Is Promising Junior Jack Rohrbach, who came on strong over the last half of the season, is the man to beat out for the quar- terback post. A good passer and ball- handler, he also showed flashes as a runner on the rollout play run so effectively by Frank Finney in 1958. Jim Leonard, a Junior who had to sit out last season be- cause of a knee operation, George Mpitsos, back in college after recovering from an illness. Sophomore Dennis Hauflaire, and Redding are other candidates for the post. Dave Tyler, who alternated at tailback and fullback last year as a Sophomore, has the first crack at the tailback spot this fall. A big boy, 6-5, 210, Tyler has loads of po- tential, both as an offensive and defensive standout. "If Tyler, with his speed and size, learns the fine points of running, he could be an excellent back.'^ McLaughry stated. Frank Monahan, a Senior. Bob Myles and Paul Murphy, a pair of Juniors, and Parker Crowell, a Sophomore, will be pressing Tyler. Crowell may be the sleeper of the group. Of all the Cub backs last fall, he showed the most savvy as a runner. Senior Roger Cirone will have to fight off the challenge of Jon Meeker, up from the Freshman team, if he is to hold his wing- back position. A good defensive man. Ci- rone did not show evidence of being a strong offensive threat last year. Under McLaughry 's system, the wingback should be the high-average back at the close of the season since many of the plays back to the short side are normally the long gainers. Meeker was the fastest back with the Cubs and might well take over the of- 84 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY fensive job early in the season, with Cirone handling defensive chores under the new liberal substitution system. Doug Hughes and Nick Spiezio, two Sophomores, fill out this position. McLaughry feels that Ray Barry should make a fine fullback. An exceptionally hard runner, rather than a will-o-the-wisp, he has good straight-away speed and is an able pass receiver. Tyler may do some swinging at fullback, as he did last year. Fred Koloc, a Sophomore, and Junior Bob Klarsch will be behind Barry and Tyler. "My main problem will be to find my 18 or 20 best players and keep them ro- tated in the lineup as much as possible," McLaughry noted. "To do this, I will have to ask several of my men to learn two or more positions." Seven of his so-called top men may be Sophomores, Hornyak, Arata. Redding, Batty, Crowell, Meeker, and Koloc. McLaughry feels that some of the weak points of the present squad will be lack of depth at center and in the backfield. The team couldn't very well stand injuries to any of the top men at these five positions. The end squad also will be weak. The men have little game experience, and there are no great pass receivers in the group. On the other hand. McLaughry feels that his top backfield is a good one and that, if he gets reasonably solid replacements at tackle and linebacker, he will have a good defen- sive team. The alumni will probably see the Bruins throwing the ball more this season. Mc- Laughry likes Rohrbach as a passer, espe- cially under presure. The top line backs all are good pass receivers, and all of the tail- backs have had substantial passing experi- ence in the past. Although it is much too early, especially in this type of a season, to do more than guess at a starting team, the following men would appear to have an edge: Laine and McGuinness at end, Arata and Dyer at tackle. Auchy and Hornyak at guard. Cap- tain Packer at center, Rohrbach at quarter- back, Tyler at tailback. Meeker at wing- back, and Barry at fullback. That line would average 201 and the backfield 191 pounds. Standing Pal on Coaches There have been no changes in the coach- ing staff since last season. Returning to as- sist McLaughry will be backfield coach Milt Piepul (Notre Dame '41), line coach Red Gowen (Dartmouth "50), end coach Jack Zilly (Notre Dame '46), and defensive coach Alex Nahigian (Holy Cross '42). A major change in the football rules will allow one player to enter the game at any time, whether or not the clock is stopped. Under last season's so-called "wild-card" rule, a specialist could be sent into the game at any time that time was out. How- ever, the player could not be sent in as a "wild-card" sub after he had used up his two re-entries per quarter. The remainder of the old substitution rule has been re- tained, including the tedious checkoff" sys- tem of recording substitutes. Four home games, including Ivy League tilts with Dartmouth and Cornell, make up the 1960 nine-game schedule.

Alumni in those sections might wish to jot down the station for further reference in the fall. The opening game with Columbia will be carried as the Ivy Game of the Week on WCBS (880 kc). The Yale game the next week will be carried on WELL The Penn game also is to be covered on radio, although arrangements were not complete as we went to press. There is also a possi- bility that WFIL-TV and WCAU-TV may tape all the Penn games and run them on Sunday. The game with Princeton will be carried on WIP, Philadelphia (620 kc); WUNG, Newark (640 kc): and WBUD, Trenton (1260 kc). The Harvard game will be carried over WNAC, with Chris Clark, who did the Brown games the past two seasons, handling the play-by-play. Arrangements for the radio broadcast of the Brown games, home and away, were not complete as our deadline arrived. JULY 1960 83 JOTi^- BROWN CREW S MARGIN of victory was impressive as it defended its Dad Vail title on the Schuylkill. fUllll I ^f ji /y yr /^ \r _i^ - x CREW: The Brown "Orphans" Had a Spectacular Spring 86 THE VARSITY BOAT: left to right, Stroke Bill Engeman '61, Marsh Bossick '61, Barry Burns '60, Bob Olsen '61, Bott Escher '61, Ed Ashley '62, Phil McKenno '62, Roger Clork '62, and (kneel- ing) Richard McKenzie '61. The photograph was taken by Jim Gordon '61. BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY WITH a bold bid in the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships in June, Brown's "orphan" crew won a fourth-place finish that, with luck, might have been even better. The Bears, beating every Eastern boat but Navy, also bowed to California and Washington but out- rowed eight others, including Cornell, Eastern Sprints champ — a great showing tor an eight seeded last. Brown was a good second with half a mile to go, only to be crowded off-course by Washington. Encouraged by hard-won praise from buffs and press. Brown started to prep for the Olympic trials as Annapolis guests. Crew, fast becoming one of Brown's most popular spectator sports, enjoyed an- other fine season on the Hill, with the Varsity and Freshmen going undefeated. After winning all five races, the Bear eight climaxed the season by successfully defending its title in the Dad Vail Regatta and then accepting an invitation to com- pete in the Intercollegiate Rowing Associa- tion Championships at Syracuse on June 18. In rowing to its undefeated season, the crew defeated Washington-Lee High, Na- tional High School Champs; Fordham, Dartmouth, Amherst, and lona. Alto- gether, the Varsity went against 20 crews, while the yearlings compiled their clean slate against 12 first-year eights. The highly successful season added new im- petus to the drive for University recogni- tion of crew as a major sport with more financial backing from the College. This season's crew triumph over Dart- mouth was doubly sweet. In 1959 when the Indians were due to race in Provi- dence, the Indian coach wrote to Brown's Coach Gordon Helander and suggested that the Green Jayvees might make a bet- ter match for the Bears. "We want the Varsity or no one," Helander replied. The Green Varsity came and had to stage a muscle-tearing rally in the last half-mile to gain a half-length victory. This spring, the Bruin eight journeyed to Hanover and played giant killer by whipping the Indians in record time for the Dartmouth course. Brown held the lead from the start and won pulling away. The time of 5 : 1 5 flat was a record for the 1 5/16-mile course on the Connecticut River. In its home debut, the crew easily de- feated Amherst and Clark. Rowing well within themselves, they led Amherst by four lengths at the finish of the Henley mile and 5/ 16th. Brown then swept the bay in the annual North Shore Invitational Rowing Regatta at Oyster Bay, L. I. The Bears stroked home nine lengths ahead of lona, their nearest competitor. A week earlier, lona had failed to show up for a scheduled race on the Seekonk. To make matters worse, it was Spring Week End, and 5,000 persons were left waiting on the banks. Showing great in- genuity, the Bruins decided to race among themselves. While they didn't have lona, they did have the essential ingredients for such events — girls, sports cars, balloons, beer, straw hats, jazz bands, and cherry blossoms. As the Providence Journal ob- JULY 1960 served, "Some in the crowd never did learn that lona had not shown up." In winning the Dad Vail Regatta for the second straight year, the Bruins finished three lengths ahead of St. Joseph's College of Philadelphia. The winning time over the 2,000-meter course was 6:35.5. Start- ing at a 42 stroke. Brown stayed even with the pack until the quarter mark, then, with a 34 pace, pulled ahead and sprinted home at a 37, winning easily. In the Intercollegiate Rowing Associa- tion championships at Syracuse on lune 18, the Bruins were scheduled to row three miles against all the college crews powers of the nation except Harvard and Yale, who raced each other that day at New London. Although the Bruins had never rowed more than the Henley distance of 1 5/16ths in competition, they did have extensive long-distance practice. Under Coach Helander, the Varsity logged some 800 miles on the water since practice be- gan in February. Drills of 15 or 20 miles a day were not uncommon. Helander, a Marine Corps Reserve pilot and a Junior at the Rhode Island School of Design, was unable to continue at the helm for the I.R.A. event and for the Olympic tryouts, also at Syracuse on July 7-9. Because of his service commitments, Helander turned the coaching duties over to Charles Butt, coach of Washington-Lee High School. Following final exams, the group set up training headquarters at the Potomac Yacht Club outside Washington, D. C, where the Bruins have trained the past two springs. Bill Engeman, Captain- elect of next year's crew, rowed for Butt at Washington-Lee. The lineup the Bruins were expected to have at Syracuse included Roger Clark, 6-4, 182, bow; Phil Makanna, 6-2, 180, No. 2; Ed Ashley, 6-3, 195, No. 3; John Escher, 6-5, 180, No. 4; Robert Olson, 6-5, 200, No. 5; Barry Burns, 6-4, 195, No. 6; Marsh Bassick, 6-4, 192, No. 7; Bill Enge- man, 6-4, 179, stroke; and Dick Mac- Kenzie, 5-6, 125, coxswain. Burns is the only Senior. Escher, Olson, Bassick, Enge- man, and MacKenzie are Juniors. Clark, Makanna, and Ashley are Sophomores. Although many of the rowers have had previous experience on Brown crews. Bob Olson, the number five man, had never seen a shell before this season. John Escher brought the 6-5, 200 pound Olson out for the sport on a dare. An Army paratrooper before coming to Brown, Olson was chal- lenged to make the boat, with the assur- ance that Escher would make a parachute jump if he did. Olson did just fine during the season, while Escher has yet to make his first jump. While the Varsity boasts one of the larg- est crews on intercollegiate waters, the Bear Cubs averaged only 173 pounds and six feet in height. However, the yearlings also showed good form under Coach Hugh Carmichael, President of the Senior Class. Their undefeated season included a deci- sion over Dartmouth and a victory in the Dad Vail Regatta, where they captured the Brett Bowl. Following the season, Car- michael announced that he was retiring as "the only major crew coach in the country with a perfect lifetime record." Football and Clams THE 12th annual Clambake-Scrimmage will have several new twists this year, according to Chairman Jim Lodge '46. Sponsored by the Brown Club of Rhode Island, the event has become a popular fall attraction for the local football followers. The affair has been scheduled for Fri- day, Sept. 16, a week later than last year and two weeks later than had been the custom previously. The date was arranged between the Club and Coach John Mc- Laughry, who didn't feel that his men would be ready to scrimmage prior to that date. Instead of the usual intra-squad bat- tle, the afternoon at Brown Field will be featured by a game-scrimmage with Con- necticut, starting at 2 p.m. And, for the first time, arrangements have been made to have chowder and clamcakes, and a bever- age, served in the Gym from 12:30 to scrimmage time. The rest of the schedule will follow the traditional lines. There will be a press con- ference following the scrimmage, which Brown Club members may attend. The social hour at Peleg Francis Farm will get under way at 5, with the bake following at 6 p.m. Coach McLaughry and his staff will be on hand to talk informally with the fans. Chairman Lodge has announced that the affair will be open to all Brown men, whether or not they are members of the Club. However, since Connecticut has re- quested that attendance at the scrimmage be restricted, only those persons having bake tickets will be admitted to Brown Field this year. A large crowd is expected, and applications will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis while the sup- ply lasts. Tickets for the entire proceed- ings are $7 and may be purchased by writ- ing to Chairman Lodge at 1212 Industrial Bank Bldg., Providence, or to Assistant Chairman John Bateman '46 at 519 Indus- trial Bank Bldg. Track Man Scores Again Track is a sport that builds character. ... In May there came to Chapel Hill an ex-track man. Brown University's Pres- ident Barnaby C. Keeney '36, who ran the 440 at Chapel Hill in his undergrad- uate days. His mission: to deliver the 1960 Weil Lectures. Dr. Wallace E. Caldwell, the History Professor, in introducing Dr. Keeney, told how he had met Track Coach Dale Ran- son in the post oflSce that morning. "I'm mighty proud that one of my track boys is going to speak," said Ranson. Alumnus Keeney 's two lectures were titled "A Literal Interpretation of the Constitution" and "Education as a Basis for Moral Judg- ment." He scored in each lecture. — Alumni Review of the University of North Carolina. 87 WRAP UP FOR A GOOD SPRING A Great Tr0 unit which included Josh and Jon Tobey. Dick Phillips. Royce Crimmin. Milt Hodosh. and Gil Borjeson. Fuqua felt that if it had not been for the injury to Angelo Sinisi and the illness of Phil Schuyler, the team might have defeated both Penn and Dartmouth and gone undefeated. .■\ccording to Coach Fuqua. the week spent in Miami during the spring vacation was instrumental in making a "team" out of his squad. The men worked out twice a day. morning and evening, and ran in three meets. "If kids have the potential, there's nothing like getting them off by themselves for a week, free of distractions, to develop that potential." Fuqua observed. The team had great depth, by past Brown standards, and this was one of the reasons for its success. However, any team needs a spark to make it great rather than just good. Bob Lowe. Jim Moreland, and. late in the season. Sinisi. provided that spark this year for the Bruins. More ot that later. Coming home from Miami, the team fin- ished second to Dartmouth in a triangular meet, despite three victories by Moreland and a win in the two-mile run by Lowe. Moreland won the 100 in 10 seconds flat and the 220 in 21.6. In the 220 lows he set a new Brown mark with a 23.4, break- ing Bill Dwyer's record set in 1948. Lowe turned in a 9:30 two-mile to whip Ivy League and IC4A two-mile champion, Tom Laris of the Green. Joe Dyer, a good Sophomore, took three seconds in the javelin, hammer, and shot. The next week, in another triangular meet, the Bears finished second to Penn. Lowe scored a double in the mile and two- mile, and Moreland had a double in the 220-yard dash and the 220 lows. In Brown's one-sided triumph over Wes- leyan, Moreland finished first in three events, the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash, and the 220 lows. In addition, he composed a segment of the winning mile relay team. Dave Lange was a double win- ner in the hammer and discus. At the Penn Relays. Brown won its sec- tion of the sprint medley relay. The vic- torious quartet consisted of Moreland. who ran the quarter mile: Gordon Hughes and Ray Barry, who did 220 each; and Jerry Huetz, who ran the half-mile. The time was 3:34-plus. It was believed to be the first time a Brown team had won a first- place relay trophy in the Penn classic. After 26 Years of Duels The team victory over Rhode Island was a good one to get. Not since the days of Lewis, Spinney. Buonanno. Pierson. Nich- olson, Davis, Stiles, Brown, Danesi, and Burgess had the Bruins been able to beat the Rams in dual competition. The score of that 1934 meet was 69;'j-65%. A year ago. Coach Fuqua's men came close, only to lose, 65-61. Moreland paced the Brown victory (79'/2-55'/2) with 17 points. He took the 220-yard dash and 220 lows, finished sec- ond in the 100, second in the high jump, and third in the high hurdles. Lowe came through with a double win in the mile and two-mile. Brown got a big win from Soph- omore Bob Wallace who took the broad jump, an event the Rams figured to win, with the longest leap of his career — 22:9%. Sinisi, rounding into form, took the high hurdles and came in second in the discus. Brown came through with 16 points in the Heptagonals at Harvard on the per- formances of the Big Three. Lowe had the big win of the day, defeating Laris of Dartmouth again in the two-mile. His time of 9:15.5 is the second best time ever re- corded in Bruin history on an outdoor track. Ed Sullivan ran the event in 9:14.4 in 1957. Moreland was second in the 220 lows and third in the 220-yard dash. Sinisi placed third in the high hurdles. In tuning up for the New Englands, Brown defeated Holy Cross, 82-61.

Moreland further lowered the time for the low hurdles with a 22.8. The other mark was set by the mile-relay team of Barr>', Moreland. Hughes, and Huetz. The quartet had a time of 3:21.6, bettering the for- mer mark of 3:22.6 set by Vincent, Mar- chesani. Cox, and Ise in 1956. Moreland followed up his 17-point performance against Rhode Island with 17'/2 points against the Crusaders. Sinisi won the high hurdles in 14.8, two-tenths of a second off the school record. Brown scored 40 points in winning the New Englands, held at M.I.T., and the Big Three accounted for 32 of those points. Moreland was the top individual scorer with 12 points. He won the low hurdles in 23.5. a tenth of a second off the meet record, and was second in the 100 and third in the 220. Lowe won the two-mile, beating Laris again, and was second in the mile. Sinisi won the high hurdles in 14.5, equalling the meet time held by him and Ed Dugger of Tufts. He finished second to Moreland in the lows and placed fourth in the discus. Brown's other points came from Lange. with a third in the hammer and a fifth in the discus: Wallace, with a fourth in the broad jump; and Dyer, a lad with loads of potential, with a fourth in the javelin. An Iron Man's Double Perhaps the most amazing victory of the season came in the IC4A Track Champion- ships at Villanova when Lowe posted a BOB LOWE was Brown's best bet in the Hep- tagonal Meet.

Moreland took the 440-yard hurdles, and the three first places are believed to be the most ever recorded in the meet by Brown representa- tives. Lowe's time in the three-mile was 14:12.6. Then, after only 28 minutes' rest, he came back to capture the steeplechase in 9:35. His time in the three-mile was a meet record. This was the first time the event had been on the IC4A program since 1876 when E. C. Stimson of Dartmouth set the old mark of 16:21.5. Making his move in the last 80 yards, Lowe defeated Laris of Dartmouth once more to take the event. In winning the 440-yard hurdles, which this year replaced the 220-yard lows. More- land had a time of 52.6, one-tenth ol a second off the Olympic qualifying stand- ard. Sini&i was si.xth in the 120-yard highs with a time of 14.3, equalling his best time for the event. Largely on the strength of their per- formances during the season, the three Bruin Juniors were invited to compete in the Olympic qualifications in California. Along with Coach Fuqua, Moreland and Lowe were scheduled to leave Providence June 15 and not return until after the final Olympic trials July 1-2 at Palo Alto. Only six Seniors were graduated in June: Capt. Bill MacArdle, Vince Mac- Donald, Mat Connors, Paul Choquette, Ed Lawlor, and Lange. A number of fine per- formers will be coming up from a good Cub team, including John Jones in the mile and two mile, and Tom Gunzelman in the 440 and 880. Fourth in Baseball Although the baseball team did not have as good a season as had been ex- pected in some quarters. Coach Lefty Le- febvre's men did post an 8-7 record and finish fourth in the EIBL with a 5-4 mark. The big wins were over Princeton (5-4), Columbia (9-4), Holy Cross (4-3), Navy (7-0), and Dartmouth (4-3). The record would have been much bet- ter if Dave Manson, Senior right-hander from Warwick, R. L, and one of the best college hurlers in the East, had not been on the injured list for most of the cam- paign. A year ago he compiled a 7-1 won- lost record, had a 1.12 earned-run average, and was rated by Coach Lefebvre as one of the three or four best college hurlers he'd ever seen. Manson was plagued with a chronic thigh injury from the time of the Southern swing and was limited to 28 innings on the mound and a modest 2-1 record. He shut out Rhode Island, 7-0, in the final game of the year and ended with a 2.25 earned-run average. At the start of the campaign, Manson was the only proven hurler on the team, and things could have been much worse for the Bruins if Terry Case, a Senior, and Sophomore Dick Laine had not filled the gap with several strong mound perform- ances. Case had a 3-1 mark, with two of his wins coming on a five-hitter against Dartmouth and an eight-inning "relief" stint against Columbia. Laine beat Prince- ton (5-4) and applied the whitewash brush to Navy. Lynn DiPaola, a 6-2, 190-pound Sophomore, showed a strong arm and a need for much more seasoning. However, he and Laine will be the men Coach Le- febvre will have to work with in rebuilding his mound corps next year. Although, for the most part, this was a veteran team, the club didn't hit as well as the 1959 group, the team batting mark dropping to .216 from the lofty .286 figure of a year ago. Dave Reed, the left fielder, paced the hitters with a .321 average. He was followed by Chris Mitchell with a .300 mark. Bob Auchy, a very good Sophomore receiver, held his own at the plate with a .255 average. He knocked in nine runs to tie Nick Pannes for the team lead. Bob Carlin was high man in extra base hits with a double and three triples, coming strong at the end of the season. In addition to Manson, seven other Sen- iors were graduated in June: Reed, Pannes, Case, Carlin, Fran Pittaro, Bob Pearson, and Tony Yates. Pittaro was one of the finest fielding shortstops that Brown has had in years. With these men missing. Coach Lefebvre will have some major re- building to do in the spring. Unfortunately, the Cub team was not a good one. Coach Jack Heffernan saw only four men with Varsity potential. Gene De Patie is rated a good pitching prospect and may help Laine and DiPaola. Glen Cashion, a catcher, Dave Meenan, a sJiortstop, and Joe Papa, an outfielder, round out the list of men who are likely to move up to the Varsity.

Highlights of the campaign were decisive wins over Navy (8-1), Penn (6-3). Amherst (6-3). andM.I.T. (7-2). The 1954 team, paced by Doc Houk and Roger King, had the previous record for most victories in a season while post- ing a 9-2 mark. Coach Palmer rated this year's group on a par with that team: "I don't know which was the better. Both had depth, were strong in the doubles, and had fine number-one players." Peytiin Howard. Sophomore from Wash- ington. D. C. was Palmer's ace this sea- son. He won 10 of 16 matches, came very close in four others, and was soundly beaten only by the top men at Yale and Georgetown. His best performance came against one of his strongest opponents, Bob Bowditch of Harvard, last year's New England Intercollegiate Champion and the 49th ranking tennis player in the nation. Howard defeated him. 2-6, 9-7, 6-1. "How- ard should rate with Bowditch and Clyde Buck of Williams as one of the three best players in the East next year," Palmer pre- dicts. "By his Senior season he could be top dog." Another pleasant surprise last season was the play of Nat Chace, another Soph- omore. Playing in the number five and six spots, the Rhode Island ace had the best singles record on the team. In addition, he teamed with Howard to form one of Brown's best doubles teams of recent years. Although these men will be back next year, the prospects for the 1961 season are not good. In the first place, four of the most steady players on the team were grad- uated in June: Ted Simmons, Tlirowbridge Callaway, Bill Sprinkel, and Doug Crock- well. Then, too, the Cub team was not a strong one and only a few men with Var- sity potential will be available. The team will probably be built around Howard and Chace. along with Capt. Paul Putzel and George Torrey, Seniors, and a pair of Jun- iors, John Flattau and Luke Mayer. There will be two major changes on the tennis front when another spring rolls around. The team will makes its bow on the new courts at Aldrich-Dexter Field and also in the Eastern Intercollegiate Tennis Association. The loop is made up of the Ivy teams, plus Army and Navy. Brown has been the only Ivy college not included in the league, although the Bruins have been playing most of the teams on a reg- ular basis. Sports Shorts THE Class of 1910 Award went to Paul Choquette as "that football player who has been on the team three years, has earned a Varsity letter, and who has earned the highest academic average in the first seven semesters." An All-East and two-time All-Ivy fullback selection, Choquette was the winner of the Na- tional Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Award from District I as well as the Red Blaik $500 Scholarship that went with it. He plans to attend law school in the fall, having turned down several offers to play pro football. Cliff Ehrlich, Basketball Co-Captain, re- ceived the 1907 Trophy as "a Senior who combined in a high degree scholastic abil- ity, athletic ability, and character." A sec- ond team All-Ivy choice, Ehrlich was Vice- President of his Senior Class and of his fraternity. He plans to be with Monsanto Chemical Company in Boston. Dave Reed and Fran Pittaro, two of Coach Lefty Lefebvre's finest baseball players, were scheduled to head for Grif- fith Stadium following graduation for try- outs with the Washington Senators. Research into the football records from 1878 to the present reveals that 11 Brown players have scored 100 points or more in their careers. Heading the list is Dave Fultz '98 with 31 touchdowns, 25 conver- sions, for 174 points. The other 10 are as follows: Gus Russ '06 (21-49-154), Willie Richardson '99 (13-48-2-136), Frank Fin- ney '59 (17-7-116), Russ McKay '11 (21-6-II1), Fritz Pollard '19 (18-1-109), Roger Young '50 (18-0-108), Jack Keefer '25 (16-7-1-106). Shine Hall '39 (15-16- 106), H. W. Hopkins '99 (25-2-104), Chuck Nelson '50 (17-0-102). ^ John McLaughry has been named Pres- ident of the Ivy League Coaches. The group, at its spring meeting, agreed to ex- change game movies a week before the scheduled contest so that the coaching staffs can confirm the scouting reports. Previously, exchanges were made at the - close of the season. Princeton retained its title in the 20th Annual Eastern Dinghy Championships sailed on the Providence River off the Edgewood Yacht Club. Brown was fourth in the field of 13. The Bruin skippers easily won the annual Jeff Davis Trophy regatta by defeating the University of Rhode Is- land, 117-87. Brown was third in the Bos- ton Club Dinghy Championships, trailing Coast Guard Academy and M.I.T. The 25-game basketball schedule re- leased in June listed games at Michigan (Dec. 28) and Pittsburgh (Dec. 30), Brown's first meeting with these teams. The strong University of Connecticut is back after an absence of several years. Home-and-home contests in the Ivy League dominate the card. Pete McCarthy, Director of Sports In- formation, reports that a limited supply of squad pictures covering the years 1951- 1959 is available free of charge to former squad members who may have neglected to pick up their copies before leaving the Hill. The 8 x 10 glossy prints may be ob- tained by writing to McCarthy at the Mar- vel Gym, Elmgrove Ave., Providence. Third baseman Mitchell has been elected Captain of the 1961 Bruins. A former All- Stater from La Salle Academy, he was the Providence Journal's Honor Roll se- lection for 1957. In his Sophomore season at Brown he led the team in hitting with a mark of .500 and was fifth among the Eastern Intercollegiate League hitters with a .440 average. Tom Budrewicz, Brown's 248-pound All-Ivy tackle, has been signed by the Chicago Bears of the National Football League. He was the Bears' 12th draft choice. CLIFFORD STEVENSON returns to Rhode Island to coach soccer and lacrosse at Brown. 90 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY To Keep Posted 3n Brown Sports Brown's Sports Newsletter, a weekly publication, will be available again o alumni and friends interested in an in- ide look at the University's athletic pro- ram. Pete McCarthy, Director of Sports nformation, is editor of the Newsletter. We've had a wonderful response from hose who have subscribed to the service he past four years, but we are always n.xious to add new names to our mailing ist," he says. The Newsletter is the primary mail con- act which the Office of Sports Information naintains with the press, radio, and TV. Seginning in September and running hrough the school year, it covers the high- ights of the previous week's action, the uitlook for coming contests, comments rom the coaches, and the team and indi- idual statistics. Though it is not prepared pecifically for alumni, it contains a great leal of material on the current Brown ports scene which is not available from iny other source. The Newsletter is espe- ially beneficial to those alumni residing lutside Brown's normal sports-coverage uea. The price for approximately 32 issues is 55, a sum that merely covers the cost of jublication and mailing. In addition to the Newsletter, subscribers will also receive lie Brown football and winter sports jrochures. Copies of the official 1960 Brown home 'ootball programs (four games) will be ivailable by mail for $1.25.

Please include your class as well as name and address when order- ing. A New Sport? RUGBY made its appearance on the Brown sports scene for the first time this spring. Playing a four-game schedule, the Brown team defeated the New York A.C. (21-0), and lost to M.I.T. (9-3), Williams (21-0), and Westchester A.C. (8-3). Of greater importance was Brown's elec- tion to membership in the Eastern Rugby Union of America. Other teams in the Union include Amherst, Cornell, Dart- mouth, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Williams, M.I.T., Penn, New York A.C, and West- chester A.C. The Brown group hopes to play a more extensive schedule within that league next spring. Dave Zucconi '55, a member of the Ad- mission Department, was largely responsi- ble for introducing rugby to the Hill. A star halfback for Coach Al Kelley at Brown, Zucconi switched to rugby during his Air Force service stay in England and found the sport to his liking. Last winter when he discovered that two undergrad- uates, Jonathan Tower '62 and Iain Tul- lock '63, had played rugby for many years in England, he felt he had the nucleus to start a team at Brown. A bow for helping to get the sport on the road should go to Football Coach John McLaughry '40, Athletic Director Paul Mackesey '32, and Ian Kouts, an Exchange Instructor at Moses Brown. McLaughry, who was instrumental in getting the sport started at Amherst, gave Zucconi consider- able help during the early planning stage. Mackesey gave the group permission to use some old football equipment. Kouts, who won his Blue Cap at Oxford and who later was an international player for the All- Scotland team in the early '50's, accepted Zucconi's invitation to serve as coach. Though the group has applied to the University for recognition as an informal club, one problem remains: All expenses last spring were paid for by the members of the team. The players, therefore, will make efforts this summer to raise a small amount of money in order to purchase uni- forms and to cover Club expenses. Those desiring more information about rugby at Brown may address Zucconi at Brown Uni- versity. A New Coach CLIFFORD Stevenson, Varsity coach of soccer and lacrosse at Oberlin College since 1952, was appointed full-time soccer coach and a member of the Physical Edu- cation staff at Brown in May. The 31-year- old native of Pawtucket succeeds Joe Ken- naway, who had served as soccer coach at Brown in a part-time capacity for the last 13 years. In making the announcement. Athletic Director Paul Mackesey explained that Stevenson's appointment resulted from the need of increasing the University's full- time Physical Education staff and was in no way a reflection on Kennaway as a person or a coach. In his 13 years on the Hill, the genial Kennaway posted a 43-68-7 record. A 1945 graduate of Pawtucket West High School, where he starred in football, baseball, and basketball, Stevenson served two years in the Navy, 17 months of which were spent in the South Pacific. After his discharge from the service, he attended Springfield College, receiving his Bach- elor's degree in Physical Education in 1952. At Springfield he was a member of the Varsity soccer and lacrosse teams for three years. He was appointed Varsity soccer and lacrosse coach and Assistant Professor of Physical Education at Oberlin in 1952 and was awarded his Master's degree in Physi- cal Education with high honors by Ohio State in 1955. At Oberlin, Stevenson's soccer teams won 48 games, lost 16 and tied 7, and his lacrosse teams compiled a 46-12-4 mark. During his tenure, Oberlin won four Midwestern championships and enjoyed three undefeated seasons in each of the two sports. Stevenson is a member of the NCAA soccer rules committee. President of the Ohio Lacrosse Coaches and Officials As- sociation, and a Past President of the Ohio Soccer Coaches Association. He has writ- ten a series of articles on the fundamentals of lacrosse and soccer play for various coaches' publications. The new Bruin mentor is married and the father of three children — David 7, Karen 6, and Paul 4. He will join the Brown staff Sept. 1. Kennaway, a former Scottish interna- tionalist, was invited by his old club to return home for the 1960 anniversary. He was assured all the honors due one of British soccer's greatest goaltenders. Boston Blooper STATION WBZ of Boston was touting its activities, its policies, and its neigh- bors when it issued a promotional folder called Program PM recently. In it was a scene familiar to all Brown alumni, but they could not believe the caption that went with it. One startled reader was Richard E. Hale '41, President of First Federal Savings in Boston, who dictated the following to the WBZ Manager: "Dear Sir: I have just read your bro- chure called Program PM. It was with spe- cial interest that I noted the photograph entitled 'Harvard — the first college in the United States.' There is no question in my mind that this photograph shows the 'first' college in the United States. "As a graduate of Brown University, I wish to assure you that you have shown the Van Wickle Gates and University Hall, Brown's oldest building. The University's seal is readily observable at the top of the gates, and this is an extremely well known view of New England's third oldest col- lege. I am sure that all Brown men on your mailing list will be pleased with your photo, but I do feel that the credit should go where credit is due." "I do believe in friendly rivalry," Hale said later, "but I think it is going too far when Harvard even tries to claim our scen- ery." Lacrosse on the Upgrade The Lacrosse Club, an informal or- ganization, ended the season with a 5-7 mark, a definite improvement over 1959's 2-10 record. Co-Capt. Norm Enman '60 was the high scorer for the season with 40 goals and 12 assists for 52 points. A Soph- omore, Pete Gilson, followed with 16 goals and 14 assists. Goalie Ken Beaugrand '60 had 210 saves while allowing 90 scores. Enman's 10 goals and one assist in Brown's 23-5 victory over New England College surpassed the previous New Eng- land single-game scoring record of 10 points but won't be entered in the books because the Bear squad is not officially recognized by the University. New status may be in the offing, and the addition of Cliff Stevenson to the coaching staff should help. JULY 1960 91 Brunonians Far and Near EDITED BY JAY BARRY '50 1887 ABOVT 850 PERSONS, including leading , R. I. Democrats, joined in tribute to retiring Senator Theodore Francis Green at a dinner-dance at Rhodes-on-the-Paw- tu.xet in May. In acknowledging the many accolades. Senator Green said he was look- ing forward with pleasure to returning to Providence and the family home on John Street after 24 years in Washington. Speak- ers, including the Congressional delegation and former Governors, described him as a great statesman, friend, benefactor, leader, and counsellor. Before leaving Washington, Senator Green was honored at several dinners, one given by the Psi Upsilon Association of Washington. The Senator joined the fra- ternity in 1885. when he was a Sophomore on the Hill. The Board of Governors of the University Club in Washington set aside the evening of May 3 for an in- formal stag buffet as a compliment to Senator Green, a member who had lived at the Club on 16th St. for 20 years. 1893 The third annual Alexander Meiklejohn Award for Academic Freedom this year went to Dr. Guerdon David Nichols, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Arkansas. The award is pre- sented by the American Association of University Professors for an outstanding contribution to a cause dear to Dr. Meikle- john. The award was established by the alumni of the Experimental College of the University of Wisconsin, which Meiklejohn founded and directed. The plaque symbol- izing the award bears a relief likeness of the man honored in its naming 1896 Dr. Theodore C. Merrill contributed an article in a recent is-sue of The Boston Medical Quarterly about the Hopital Al- bert Chenevier, the modern French insti- tution where he is a patient, at Creteil, near Paris. He writes appreciatively of it as "a genuine monument to French con- structive foresight and ability, a model worthy of thorough study by everyone in- terested in modern hospital organization." The Rev. J. Canfield Van Doren of Hellertown, Pa., who has enjoyed writing poetry since college days, estimates that he has written more than 2400 poems. Some of them were used in sermons and public speeches, but most have been written since his retirement. In his 85th year, he wrote 364, a one-a-day average. 1897. Frank O. Jones, one of the grand old men of Hartford public schooling, was honored at a testimonial dinner June 1 1 by the Northwest School Class of 1912. The veteran educator went to Hartford in 1908 after holding teaching and adminis- trative positions in Massachusetts and New Haven. North Canaan. Wolcott, and Pros- pect. He was Superintendent of the old Northwest District and later, after a con- solidation of districts, he became Princi- pal of Northwest. After his mandatory re- tirement at age 70 in 1937, Northwest Junior High was named in his honor. Charles W. Towne has been keeping Alumni House posted about his travels. A May Day card from Osaka, Japan, pointed out that he was then halfway around on his "globe-circling jaunt." Towne had had a pleasant encounter with Susumu Yama- zaki '57 in Tokyo. 1903 Robert Forster has been acting on be- half of the Class in sending birthday greet- ings to the members. Responses show that this has been much appreciated, and Bob let us see typical ones this spring from Robert L. Barrows, Edward Beam, and Arthur M. Winslow. Winslow, writing on the stationery of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington, said: "While I have been in the Northwest for many years and have not been back to the Brown Campus since 1934, I always read with interest any news of the 1903 Class." Beam said that he and his wife are liv- ing quietly in the country near Oakland, Bergen County, N. J. Any classmate driv- ing along Route 202 will be in the neigh- borhood and would be welcomed. Marc T. Greene, entering a controversy in the letters page of the Saturday Review, asked: "Who dares say the honor of being the great poet of this era does not belong to Robert Frost?" 1904 The Fourth International Congress of Iranian Art and Archaeology opened in New York in May under the direction of Dr. Arthur Upham Pope. An incidental by-product of his activity was the perform- ance of a new ballet at the New York City Center, "The Figure in the Carpet," as noted in Newsweek for Apr. 25. Pope sug- gested the Persian carpet motif to George Balanchine of the New York City Ballet. Lester H. Nichols, who had been associ- ated with the operation of the E. L. Nich- ols Store in Bennington, Vt., for 56 years, retired from the business on Apr. 1. He will continue to have an office in the store and will act as a consultant. 1905 Fourteen-year-old Marcia Walton was visiting her grandparents. Dr. and Mrs. Judson A. Crane, two summers ago, at Manomet. Mass., when someone saw a small boy fall off a plastic raft 100 yards offshore in a strong wind. Marcia swam out, surface dived, finally caught the boy by his trunks, and towed him to shore. The Massachusetts Humane Society sent Marcia a medal and citation. This year the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission voted her its bronze medal and a $250 educa- tional award. 1906 Joseph Smith, Providence attorney, has been active on behalf of the Brown Out- ing Reservation as a '06 representative on the University committee in charge of it. Aiding him in this work have been Sidney R. Bellows and Oscar Rackle, two retired engineers who make up (with Smith) the Class committee on Reservation affairs. Their services have been valuable and ap- preciated. After their long trip to South America the previous winter (20.000 miles). Mr. and Mrs. Leon S. Gay have been staying home in Brandon. Vt.. this year. Leon kept busy in local affairs, as chairman of a com- mittee to build a $500,000 sewer-disposal plant and of another committee to write a history of Brandon. He's President of the Brandon Library, a Trustee of public funds, and a member of the Tax Payers' Committee. Until May 31, he had to take over pinch-hitting posts in the Baptist de- nomination in Vermont, as President of the Board of Trustees and as Chairman of the Finance Committee. "With a $2,000,000 building program in process at Middlebury (where Gay is a Trustee) and investment of nearly a million dollars in my hands, I keep out of mischief," Gay wrote Bellows earlier in the year. Charles S. Shinn retired this year as President of the Library Association in Bala-Cynwyd, Pa. He had held the post for 30 years and was named President Emeritus. His successor is York A. King, Jr., '34. Dr. Alexander M. Burgess, a 1910 grad- uate of the Harvard Medical School, was a 1960 candidate for the Alumni Council of the School. He Sent in His Entry J. Henry Farrell '98 of Paw- tucket, a former banker and invest- ment counsellor, made the greatest investment of his life last fall when he tied up four cents in one postage stamp! This investment helped carry an entry blank to the source of a $100,000 national sweepstake con- test. This year he was informed that he had won second prize. The return on his four-cent investment amounted to $10,000. The contest was the first that Far- rell ever entered. Asked why he en- tered that one, he explained "All I had to do was sign the entry blank, so I did." 92 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY R. I. 'Ad Man of the Year' GEORGE T. Metcalf '13, unofficial dean of the advertising fraternity in Rhode Island, received the Silver Medal Award as Ad Man of the Year from the Advertis- ing Club of the Providence Chamber of Commerce at its Annual Dinner on May 12. He was cited for "distinguished service in the field of advertising over the span of almost half a century, a continuous devo- tion to the principles and practice of our profession interrupted only by his military tour of duty during the First World War." As Chairman of the Board, Metcalf takes a vigorous part in the business of George T. Metcalf Company, Providence public relations and advertising agency, which he founded in 1932. Growth of George T. Metcalf Company has been consistent since then, the founder notes. In that first year, total billings were $15,000 whereas in 1959 aggregate billings were nearly $1,500,000. Under Metcalfs leadership, his company has won scores of advertising awards from such organizations as Associated Business Papers, National Advertising Agency Network (of which the company is a member), and many others. "Years ago we were actually specialists in the textile and related industries," Met- calf says. We soon foresaw that New Eng- land industry would become increasingly diversified, and hence decided to broaden our interests accordingly. Since that time we have purposely remained flexible in the type of business we seek and will accept. This policy has protected us from getting into a rut, and has helped us to maintain an open mind and a healthy curiosity about new markets and new methods. Of recent years, Mr. Metcalf has ex- panded the area of competency of his com- pany to include all phases of marketing, merchandising and public relations as well as publicity and advertising. While he has balanced off his list of clients among con- sumer and industrial accounts for the sake of diversification, the Metcalf Company still ranks among the agencies annually placing the highest amounts of linage in textile trade publications. At Brown Metcalf played on the Fresh- man and Sophomore football teams, and on the Varsity Squad in his last two years, winning his letter as a Senior. The final game of his career made Brown University football history in what he terms a "sui- cidal encounter" with the Carlisle Indians, led by fabulous Jim Thorpe. After graduation, Metcalfs first job was as a timekeeper, bookkeeper, and company store manager for Alphano Humus Com- pany, Alphano, N. J. Shortly he became advertising manager and salesman for Builders Iron Foundry and Diamond Ma- chine Company of Providence, in whose employ he remained for three years until called into military service with the 103rd Field Artillery, R.I.N.G., in World War I. His business career, now definitely directed toward advertising, was resumed in 1919 when he became an account executive for Edward S. Jones' Sons Co. In 1922 he joined Franklin Process Company as Ad- vertising and Sales Promotion Manager, and remained in that capacity until he es- tablished George T. Metcalf Company a decade later, taking the Franklin Process account with him. Closely associated with Brown all his GEORGE T. METCALF '13 adult life, Metcalf has served the Univer- sity as National Chairman of the Brown Alumni Fund, as Alumni Trustee and in many other official capacities. He was also a Director and President of the Advertising Club of the Providence Chamber of Com- merce. During the 10 years of its existence from 1946 to 1956, he was Executive Sec- retary of the New England Textile Foun- dation, and in recognition of his services he holds the honorary degree of Sc.M. from Lowell Textile Institute. Active in community affairs, Mr. Met- calf is a Past Team Chairman of the Prov- idence Community Fund, a member arid past delegate of the Conference of Amer- ican Small Business Organizations, a mem- ber of the Corporation of Butler Health Center and of the Corporation of Provi- dence Child Guidance Clinic, Inc. 1908 Dr. Robert W. Burgess, Director of the Bureau of the Census in Washington, him- self went to the White House in April to gather 1960 Census data from President and Mrs. Eisenhower. It was a sort of kick-off for the great national "nose-count" conducted by Burgess' Bureau. As this section was going to the printer before Commencement, the First Baptist Church in Rockport, Mass., was planning a reception on June 12 for the Rev. Dr. Albert C. Thomas. He is retiring from the ministry, which he began 50 years ago as Assistant at the First Baptist Church in Brookline, Mass. He came to be known by hundreds of Brown men as the Minister of the First Baptist Church America (in Providence) from 1941 to 1954. Leon E. Varnum has sold his lodge in New Hampshire and has retired to 141 Elm St., South Dartmouth, Mass. His main occupation now is to baby-sit, with his wife, for their daughter's two young cher- ubs. Charles F. Potter was forced to pass up the reunion in June. He is slowly recover- ing from a complicated operation. 1909 E. Lawrence Chandler was the first re- cipient of a new Professional Achievement Award established by the American Soci- ety of Civil Engineers, selected to receive it at the Reno convention in June. The ba- sis for judgment was "substantial contribu- tion to the status of the engineering pro- fession." Chandler had served on the ASCE staff from 1944 until his retirement in March, for 12 years of the period as As- sistant Secretary after earlier work as rep- resentative in charge of the Society's office in Washington. He is also Treasurer of three other organizations: Engineers Joint Council (since 1948), Pan American Fed- eration of Engineering Societies (UPADI) Fund, Inc.; and the U.S. Committee of the World Power Conference. Although Chan- dler's early work was in municipal and sanitation engineering, he won a wide rep- utation later as a builder of dams, notably as Chief Construction Engineer on the Pensacola Dam. He was also Chief Esti- mator for the TVA and Chief Engineer for the Chattanooga Flood Control District. Civil Engineering for April records the tribute paid Chandler by the ASCE Board upon his retirement, concluding as follows: "For a full half-century, as practising en- gineer, administrator, loyal member of the Society and staff officer, he has contrib- uted stability of judgment, friendliness, and wisdom." The Rhode Island Highway Association has set up a memorial fund of $500 in memory of George H. Henderson, late Chief Engineer of the R. I. Department of Public Works, Division of Roads and Bridges. The gift is being used at Brown University as a revolving loan fund on which engineering students may draw. The Dartmouth Savings Bank of Han- over, N. H., of which Don Stone is a Vice- President, celebrated its 100th anniversary recently. Louis McCoy, although retired, still reg- ularly attends the conventions of the Head Masters' Association.

President of the Citi- zens Savings Bank of Providence, was re- elected Secretary and Treasurer of the Mu- tual Savings Banks" Association of Rhode Island last spring. Ed Shaeffer and Marion demonstrated their loyalty to Brown by so arranging their around-the-world trip that they might be back for the full .''Oth Reunion program. Ray Gould is taking things easy this summer in Westerly after having had his gall bladder removed in May. Paul Howland has made a good recov- ery after his serious operation in Provi- dence last January. ""I gradually learned to live with one lung, but I probably never will walk up College Hill again." 1911 The Rev. Herbert F. Cawthorne offers any interested person his copies of the Brown Lihers for 1908. 1909, and 1910. He has been reducing his library at 3 North .Ave.. Route 1, Box 250, Plaistow, N. H.. prior to a move to Leominster, Mass., necessitated by ill health. 1912 Prof. Dana G. Munro of Princeton is a member of the National Advisory Com- mittee on Inter-American Affairs, serving by Presidential appointment with five oth- ers from private life under the chairman- ship of the Secretary of State. When Pres- ident Eisenhower made his visit to South America, Dr. Munro accepted his invita- tion to go with him in his plane, as did Banker Retires RON.\LD M. Kimball '18 of 2425 Pio- neer Rd., Evanston, 111., retired on Apr. 29 as Vice-President in charge of the Corporate Trust Division of Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago, a position he has held since 1948. (We used his photo in February as his retirement impended.) He had joined the Continental organization in 1924 after several years" service in Cuba with Na- tional City Bank of New York. Active in civic fund-raising, he has been associated with the Ravinia Festival asso- ciation for 10 years, the past two years as Chairman of the Guarantor Committee. The Boy Scouts have honored him for his work on the Executive Committee of the Chicago Council, for which he headed fi- nancing efforts. He also directed industrial donations in Red Cross campaigns and is a member of the University of Illinois Citi- zens' Committee. He was active in devel- opmental work which led to the creation of the Midwest Stock Exchange and has par- ticipated in other programs to strengthen Chicago as a financial center. He is a for- mer Trustee of Brown University and a leader in many regional campaigns and alumni activity. the full committee. "The most notable thing about the trip," Munro has reported to Edgar G. Buzzell and others, "was the enthusiastic welcome that the President got from tremendous crowds in each of the seven cities where he went. The minor in- cidents reported by the press were really of no importance at all. It was a strenuous trip, because we usually got up at 6 to fly to another town and got to bed at 1 after a big state dinner. 1 was impressed by the way the President stood up under it." 1913 The Urban League of Rhode Island has established a special fund in memory of Clarence H. Philbrick. one of its founders. The fund's anniversary date each year will be May 11, Philbrick's birthday. Dr. Karl H. Koopman paid a short visit to Providence in April, his first since his leisurely journey around the world. He's planning on seeing Brown football this fall, his first in many years.

THE EDITORS Small Talk {Continued from page 3) > SCANNING some student reminiscences of a hundred years ago, we happened on one recently about a student taking a chemistry exam. The question was what would happen to indigo in a certain solu- tion. The student said he couldn't remem- ber whether the indigo either floated or sank, but he knew it was one way or the other. "One way or the other!" exclaimed the Professor impatiently. "Everything in life is one way or the other. What you come to college for is to find out which way it is." > MANY OF THE RECOLLECTIONS have tO do with Latin or Greek, in which the stu- dents were proficient enough to be amused about mistranslations. It was supposed to be hilarious, for example, that a boy should take the Latin for the statement "I have raised a monument more lasting than brass," and translate it as "1 have eaten a monument harder than brass." And a popular old story a century ago was about some Brown men singing their Latin songs so loudly that they woke up other people in a hotel. The proprietor protested, of course, hut one student said: "How can we be bothering the gentleman when he doesn't understand a word of Latin?" > A BROWN PROFESSOR, serving on a com- mission in Washington, was getting im- patient with Government efforts for a "crash program" in languages. "Some of these people," he said, "believe that by getting nine women pregnant, they can have a baby in one month." BUSTER 107 Bureau of Vital Statistics MARRIAGES PROF. Harold Schlosberg.
