FROM COVER 



THE CHANCES to cheer were few and far between durina the early 
weeks of Brown football this fail. (.And theie are old grad.s w"ho will tell 
you that the cheering section isn't what it used to be in their da\ . I But 
an extraordinary Blown football team generated its own excitement as the 
season matured, even without proper victories at first to reward it. .At the 
same time, over in the soccer department, another sound Varsity was earn- 
ing its own laurels, as growing crowds began to realize.

Not on Saturday . . . 

A WRITER of citations himself. President 
Keeney appreciated the one given him 
by the Providence College Alumni Associa- 
tion in October. It said in part: "You made 
boldly imaginative plans for Brown's fu- 
ture, with major changes in the curriculum 
and vast physical expansion. You recruited 
a great Faculty by keeping your Campus a 
warm and free place. To make these plans 
possible, you sought funds with the pa- 
tience of a good fisherman and came up 
with the most bountiful catch in the his- 
tory of Rhode Island. 

"You have been the catalyst that moved 
Brown to seize the opportunity for great- 
ness that was hers. From the beginning, 
you ruled out mediocrity — with the single, 
understandable exception of Saturday after- 
noons in the fall." 

In its report, the Providence Journal 
noted that Providence College has had no 
football team for a score of years. And, 
referring to the last line of the quote 
above, the headline took into account the 
victory over Colgate in saying: "But the 
Brown Team Had Eased the Sting of Cita- 
tion to Keeney." 

> ANOTHER CITATION We liked was one 
which Primus III quoted in "The College 
Pump" of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin. 
It was the verbal acclaim given at Yale to 
Paul C. Cabot, Harvard's Treasurer: "Two 
Presidents and a succession of Fellows at 
Harvard have found their burdens of dis- 
course, as well as stewardship, lightened by 
the bluntness of your speech and the 
soundness of your cold-roast Boston eye 
for the Yankee dollar." 

Wrong number . . . 

> LIKE OTHER EDITORS, our coUeaguc On 
the Rhode Island Bar Journal says there 
are times when he wonders if anyone reads 
what he spends so much time preparing. 
He had proof, he said recently, when he 
published a box which said: "The Execu- 
tive Committee recommends the closing of 
law offices from May 15 to October 15." 
He printed the box again in October after 
inserting the missing words, "On Satur- 
days." 

Incidentally, we gave the wrong phone 
number for the general University switch- 
board in "Small Talk" last month. Habit 
led us to list the special number for 
.'Vlumni House, rather than the proper one 
for Brown University central, which is 
863-1000. The first person to spot this was 
the young lady who receives most of the 
calls at Alumni House, and she was not 
only apprehensive but furious. 

> A WARREN ALUMNUS was involved in a 
Saturday evening poker game recently, and. 
when it broke up rather late, his colleagues 
suggested that it would be fun to put a 
poker chip in his weekly church envelope 
instead of the usual contribution. He was 
persuaded to do so. 

Several days later, he received a small 
package in the mail. Sent by the Pastor, it 
contained two chips and a note which said: 
"I'll raise you one." 




> SPEAKING RECENTLY at a collegc hockey 
coaches' dinner. Alumni Secretary Paul 
Mackesey observed that the names of 
streets surrounding the Brown Campus 
seem designed to bring inspiration and 
confidence to the athletic coaches. "We 
have in the immediate neighborhood of the 
Campus," he said, "streets with names 
such as Power, Benefit, Benevolent, and 
Prospect. And our rink, itself, is built on 
Hope." There is a Victor, too, but that's 
over in Ward 4. 

> A DIALOGUE in Old Oregon began with a 
harried young professor finishing a hectic 
session with a large class and taking refuge 
in a colleague's office. "How vastly simpler 
life would be," he said, "if we could just 
get along without students." 

The elder colleague leaned back in his 
chair. "We tried that during the Depres- 
sion," he said, st last. "It didn't work." 

> COMMENTING ou Tcccnt and pending re- 
tirements at Brown, Prof. Benjamin C. 
Clough recalled the remark of A. L. Low- 
ell when someone told him that Terry, As- 
sistant Registrar at Harvard, was "indis- 
pensable." Lowell said. "Yes, if Terry 
died, we'd have to get a semi-Terry." 

> A WOMAN at the New York World's Fair 
on Oct. 3 remarked that Guy Lombardo's 
musicians seemed "awfully young." The 
musicians turned out to be the Brown Uni- 
versity Band, with Martin Fischer leading 
them. He's young, too. 

> ONE OF THE DEANS in professional fund- 
raising. Harold J. Seymour, is remembered 
for his counsel to Brown during President 
Wriston's administration. The American 




"FIRST THINGS FIRST." 



Alumni Council's Commentary quotes some 
of Seymour's statements on developing a 
sound, well-rounded fund-raising effort and 
notes his "Law of the Pickle": "You can't 
make a good pickle just by squirting vin- 
egar on a cucumber; it has to soak a 
while." 

> ANOTHER SEYMOUR, the late Charles 
Seymour of Yale, was not one to make a 
fuss about the burdens of the President's 
Office. Editor Bronson of the Ycde Alumni 
Magazine recalls Seymour's assertion that 
his job was actually a cinch: The only 
problems that reached his desk were the in- 
soluble ones. And why look for answers 
when there weren't any? 



Invisible shield . . . 

> THE BROWN BAND had onc of its best 
outings when it had halftime all to itself 
the afternoon of the Colgate football game. 
Setting the tone of the skit, the drum major 
capered on an otherwise empty field, and 
the announcer said: "In a salute to Col- 
gate, the Brown University Band has 
formed an 'invisible shield,' using 99% 
fewer members." 

The day before the Advisory and Execu- 
tive Committee of the Brown Corporation 
had voted an increase in tuition to $2000, 
highest in the Ivy League and challenged 
by few elsewhere. The Band played: 
"We're Number One." A tribute to the 
Brown Daily Herald's journalism called 
for "Wonder Where the Yellow Went." 

> WE WERE curious when we heard mem- 
bers of the spirited Junior Varsity football 
team at a recent game. The bench was 
cheering on the players on the field with 
shouts that seemed to be, "Come on, Ol' 
Miss!" Investigation, however, showed 
that the Jayvees actually call themselves 
"Old Misc." (for miscellaneous). 

> ONE REASON that William K. Zinsser has 
a high regard for Brown University is the 
fact that it gave an honorary degree to 
S. J. Perelman '25. Zinsser commented on 
this in his Marshal Woods Lecture, where 
his topic in the series on "The Lively Arts" 
was American humor. Humorists seldom 
get recognition, Zinsser said, but in the 
honor to Perelman Brown showed that it 
was living up to its motto, "In Deo 
Speramus." Zinsser freely translated this as 
■'First Things First." 

BUSTER 



Taking a special interest 

Some alumni sponsors who contributed 
to a 'terrifying over-abundance' 



By EDWARD G. HAIL '49 

Admission Officer 

THIS is a story about the Class of 1969 at Brown and 
about the alumni influence on it, particularly in the 
West, Southwest, and South. As present admission re- 
cruiting efforts continue to expand, the results are perhaps 
appropriately illustrated by a few statistics on the Freshmen 
who arrived on College Hill in September. 

Is this the "best Class ever"? Probably. But, certainly, it is 
the largest since the end of World War II. 

First, let's look at some comparative figures, which show 
10-year contrasts in the admission picture. In 1965, for the 
Class of 1969, there were 5170 applications, compared with 
3495 in 1955. In the same period, the median scores in Col- 
lege Board testing rose from 552 to 638 on the SAT verbal, 
with most of the 1965 scores in the 650 range. The SAT 
math scores rose from 625 to 694, with most of them in the 
700 range. 

Three Areas of Newly-Roused Interest 

Most spectacular of the increases in the last five years were 
in applications from the West, Southwest, and South. Of par- 
ticular interest are the figures for the following States, with 
1960 figures given in parentheses: 

Western States — California 162 (up from 40), Utah 16 
(4), Oregon 38 (8), Washington 46 (6), Arizona 27 (2). 
Southwestern States— Jexus, 58 (18), Colorado 30 (7), Ok- 
lahoma 13 (2). Midwest — Minnesota 71 (26), Nebraska 12 
(6). Southern States — Alabama 12 (1), North Carolina 13 
(8), South Carolina 5 (0), Tennessee 25 (5), Georgia 45 (7), 
Florida 63 (10), Mississippi 2 (0), Louisiana 13 (4). 

Figures on the geographical distribution of the Class of 
1969 are also revealing, particularly when contrasted with 
Freshmen from the same States in 1955 (the latter statistics 
are given in parentheses) : 

Alabama 3 (1), Arizona 11 (1), Arkansas 1 (0), California 
35 (I), Colorado 2 (5), Connecticut 40 (64), Delaware 3 (1), 
Florida 9 (3), Georgia 9 (2), Illinois 23 (20), Indiana 6 (2), 
Iowa 4 (2), Louisiana 1(1), Maine 4(5), Maryland 21 (7). 
Massachusetts 100 (140), Michigan 10 (9), Minnesota 8 
(3), Missouri 5 (11), Nebraska 2 (1), New Hampshire 4 
(12), New Jersey 69 (66), New York 134 (119), North 
Carolina 2 (0), Ohio 31 (7), Oklahoma 5 (I), Oregon 8 (0), 
Pennsylvania 37 (26), Rhode Island 80 (99), South Carolina 
1 (0), Tennessee 3 (2), Texas 7 (1), Utah 4 (0), Vermont I 
10), Virginia 11 (4), Washington 11 (1), Wisconsin 2 (7), 
Washington, D. C. 2 (3). 

States not represented in the Class of 1969 (the number 



of Freshmen 10 years ago again being shown in parenthe- 
ses): Alaska (0), Hawaii (0), Kansas (0), Kentucky (1), Mis- 
sissippi (0), Montana (0), New Mexico (0), South Dakota 
(0), West Virginia (2). 

Over the 10-year span the ratio of public school graduates 
to private school graduates has risen to the point where 71% 
in the Class of 1969 are from public schools, as compared 
with 56% in 1955, 

■4n Old Yardstick Let Them Down 

Because of Brown's judicious selection of recent Classes 
(to meet the rigorous standards of the University), the attri- 
tion rate has dropped considerably, resulting in a more con- 
sistant and stable student body. Consequently, the Admission 
Office determined that our Freshman Class this year would 
number 625, rather than the usual 650 figure of past years. 
Following the custom of most colleges in this age of multiple 
applications, we sent out approximately 1,000 acceptance 
letters. From past experience (and with a few incantations) 
we expected the actual number of commitments to Brown to 
dwindle to the 625 figure, come opening day of Freshman 
Week in September. 

Much to our surprise by May 1st we found ourselves with 
746 commitments to Brown, which was, needless to say, a 
terrifying over-abundance of brains and bodies. By the be- 
ginning of Freshman Week, the figure had dropped to 725 
students who actually reported — a far cry from the 625 we 
had originally planned for. This overage of entering Fresh- 
men naturally triggered a chain reaction of problems in the 
area of housing, expansion of classroom sections, dining prob- 
lems, etc. But this is another story. 

Why this sudden surge of student commitments to Brown? 
It is almost impossible to answer, but we would like to think 
that this is a reflection of Brown's quality and reputation. 
More specifically, the increase is probably due in part to the 
nationwide school-visiting program of the Admission Staff 
and particularly the active participation and necessary fol- 
low-up by organized Brown alumni committees working in 
the all-important Secondary School Program. 

A Correlation That Tells Its Own Story 

It is not too surprising to state that the total number of 
applications we receive in any given area of the United States 
is in most cases in direct proportion to the number of alumni 
and to the degree of their activity in seeking out potential 
students for Brown. "On campus" student representation 
from a few large cities across the country has been fairly 
strong for some time. In truth, however, the many other 
smaller cities in the Midwest, Far West, Southwest, and South 
for the most part had been untouched until about three or

four years ago. In short, there had been no concerted effort 
by the Admission Office or local alumni organizations to 
blanket these smaller or more distant and equally fruitful areas 
until that time. 

In 1960, for example, the Admission Staff visited schools 
in 22 States — Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, 
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachu- 
setts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New 
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Ver- 
mont, Virginia and Wisconsin. Last year Admission Officers 
visited schools in close to 40 States. 

At present, there are six members on the Brown Admis- 
sion Staff. There are thousands of dollars spent each year 
to send these representatives to every corner of the United 
States and parts of Canada — from Maine to Hawaii, from 
Toronto to Tampa — not in search of applicants per se (be 
assured, this is not our problem) but to seek out that one 
boy who is recognized in his school and his community as 
a top student and/or a person of ability and promise. We 
are seeking out that one student who will benefit from a 
Brown University education, and where Brown in turn can 
benefit from him. 

As a consequence, we are competing directly and actively 
with other leading universities in the country, and we find 
ourselves currently turning away more capable students than 
we are able to accept. But the search goes on nation wide 
for that ideal boy. 

73 Committees in the Alumni Program 

In a cooperative effort with Associate Alumni Secretary 
James R. Gorham '54, the Admission Staff is helping to or- 
ganize new alumni representatives, area chairmen, and as- 
sisting committees for secondary school work across the coun- 
try. Through this effort, there has been a vast improvement 
in alumni activity on the West Coast along with an increase 



in school visiting, several "Introduction to Brown and Pem- 
broke Nights"" and special alumni-student evening meetings. 
During the past few years, for example, such activities have 
resulted in 124 boys from the West Coast matriculating at 
Brown, 68 of whom are part of this year"s Freshman Class. 

There are at present throughout the country 73 alumni 
secondary school area chairmen and committees in as many 
different cities. With such a going organization, it is impos- 
sible for a lack of space to cite the valuable individual as- 
sistance given by each alumnus. So, at the risk of being os- 
tracized by those active grads not mentioned, I would like 
to refer to a few people in areas where there has been the 
greatest generation of applicant growth during the past five 
years. 

Each club has its own approach in operating its Alumni 
Secondary School Program. For example, in San Francisco, 
Dudley A. Zinke '39 has been aided and abetted by Benjamin 
W. McKendall, Jr. '52, Gustave Freeman '29 and others. 
Zinke has employed centralized interviewing whereby all can- 
didates from the area are scheduled for interviews at pre- 
arranged times within a given day, allowing for comparative 
appraisal of all applicants by the interviewers. The Rev. Rob- 
ert A. Tourigney "41 is spearheading the effort in the Los 
Angeles area and has been instrumental in sending 18 of this 
year"s 34 Californians to Brown. 

In the State of Washington, Jonathan P. Brooks '45 and 
Harold S. Shefelman '20 have done a remarkable job in in- 
creasing the number of boys from one to three to 11 in the 
past three years. An "Introduction Night" was held with 85 
students and 130 parents on hand this past year. 

Arizona has sent 1 1 boys this year, almost a 90% increase 
from 3 years ago. Walter S. Gray, Jr., '36 and David R. 
Yeaton '51 followed up boys from Phoenix, while James E. 
Serven '22, Watson Smith '19, Paul A. WiUiams '26, Louis 
Farber "29, and others have been active in the Tucson area.

Los Ange'es.

In some sections even the parents lend a helping hand. In 
Utah, where Howell C. Wagner "42, our only active alumnus, 
has been tied up with business and travel, Mr. and Mrs. Peter 
Billings, mother and father of Peter, Jr., '67 and John '69, 
earned a salute from the Admission Office by organizing an 
"Introduction Night" which was attended by 85 students and 
parents. As a result, student representation from Utah is on 
the increase. 

In Oregon, Miner T. Patton '32 has paved the way for a 
substantial student increase of one to eight students from this 
State in three years. 

Applications over the past four years for the West Coast 
have risen from 68 to 289; proportionately, the number of ac- 
ceptances and matriculants has correspondingly increased. 
Where the percentage of those accepted remained fairly 
steady in the last three years, the Admission Office was 
pleased to note it suddenly jumped this year to 55%, an out- 
standing increase and a true testimonial to what energetic and 
enthusiastic alumni have done and can do. 

Departing briefly from the aforementioned growth areas, 
accolades are certainly due the Minneapolis-Minnesota alumni 
group recently headed by William H. Moberger "56. Bill and 
his committee have been extremely active this past year, hold- 
ing special night meetings involving 125 students and parents. 
Working with Bill is Thomas B. Caswell, Jr., '60, President 
of the Club and a former Admission Officer at Brown. His 
professional admission background made him particularly 
effective as well as knowledgeable. Special honors also go to 
Alan R. Pearsall '32 and Dr. Henry A. Johnsen '45. In the 
Minneapolis area, applications have increased from 26 in 
1963 to 71 this past year. 

In the Rocky Mountain empire, Bennett S. Aisenberg '52 
heads up the Denver area chairmanship and is actively sup- 
ported by F. Joseph McGarry '44 and Richard H. Woulfe '51. 
Activity in the Secondary School Program here has been pro- 
gressing, and an all-out effort is planned for this year. Bruce 
F. Anderson '59 is Area Chairman in Omaha, strongly aided 
by Frank S. Keogh, Jr., '43 and John H. Senechal '61. Ap- 
plications here went from six in 1964 to 12 in 1965. The club 
holds an annual Christmas meeting at a member's home, fea- 
turing both undergraduates from the area and alumni. You 
will note that the number, depth, and breadth of alumni Sec- 
ondary School activities vary in proportion to the size of the 
club and the active participation therefrom. 

Activity in the Southwest and South 

The Tulsa Club has produced its biggest student representa- 
tion yet under the able guidance of Edwin J. Schermerhorn 
"34, Francis A. Brooks, Jr., '55 and Gordon D. Davis "600 
(before Davis moved back to Providence to be Headmaster of 
Moses Brown School). The entire committee, including H. 
Vinton Potter '25 and Stephen D. Booth "55, has been very 
active, with the end result that we have on campus an all-time 
high of 14 undergraduates from Oklahoma. This Club also 
holds a Christmas meeting which last December included a 
panel of undergraduates discussing the University along with 
the showing of the film, "Invitation to College Hill." 

Both Dallas and Houston have been moving ahead, under 
the leadership of John H. Hoffman "57, Alfred N. Kay '39, 
Dr. M. D. Jacoby "50 and Dr. E. G. Alexander, Ph.D. '63. 
The increase in the applicant group from 1963 to 1965 was 
six to 19. Over-all Texas applications have increased from 18 
in 1963 to 58 this year. In the Houston area, William T. Slick, 
Jr., '49 is backed up by James L. Whitcomb '36, William E. 



BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



Ladin '63, Robert G. Price '52, Lawrence B. Burwell '39, 
Robert I. Beck '54, and Louis R. Glavis, Jr., '44. Beating the 
bushes for top Brown appHcants, they, too, held a very suc- 
cessful Christmas meeting last year and have made plans for 
a similar session this fall. Applications have jumped from four 
to 28 in the last two years. 

The South and Southeast parts of the country have shown 
definite applicant growth, though this growth tends again to 
be in direct proportion to the degree of alumni representation 
and participation in secondary school work. Over the past 
five years, applications have continued to increase as a result 
of school visiting by the Admission Office and follow-up by 
local alumni. For example, in Alabama, applications have 
jumped from one in 1960 to 12 in 1965. William Silsbee '40, 
Carl N. Brown '25, and Joseph Conzelman '12 have been 
especially helpful in the Birmingham area. 

North Carolina applications have shown a steady but 
rather slow rise (eight in 1960 to 13 in 1965). We have 
alumni representation in Raleigh, Winston-Salem, Greensboro 
and Charlotte, and it is hoped that through current organiz- 
ing and orientation of alumni the "Tar Heel State" will double 
its applications in the coming year. South Carolina applica- 
tions, though sparse, show definite signs of growth. 

Five and Six Times as Many Applicants 

In Tennessee there is great potential, with Memphis leading 
all other cities in applications. Statewide applications have 
jumped from five in 1960 to 25 in 1965, the bulk of them 
coming from the Memphis area as a result of energetic fol- 
low-up work by Area Chairman Sidney Cohn, Ph.D. '51. 
Other active members include Clark Corliss, Ph.D. '52, Henry 
Loeb '43, Ward Sheffe "42, A. Dulaney Tipton, Jr., '58, and 
others. Nashville continues to move ahead under the guidance 
of John J. Cooney, Jr., '41. 

Georgia, specifically the Atlanta area, has shown the most 
significant growth in the South since 1960 as a result of prob- 
ably the largest and most active alumni committee in Dixie. 
Applications have increased from a total of seven in 1960 to 
45 in 1965. This has all come about through the tireless and 
enthusiastic work of Charles Weisbecker '42, who is President 
of the Atlanta Brown Club, and Michael H. Trotter '58, Area 
Chairman. Eugene W. O'Brien '19, Earle H. Metzger, Jr., '39, 
Glenn N. Bower '52 and many other Atlanta alumni too nu- 
merous to mention have sent top-notch Georgia boys on to 
Brown (there are nine Atlanta boys in the Freshman Class 
this year). 

Florida has provided beehives of alumni activity in the past 
five years, with Clubs active in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Sara- 
sota as well as in the Orlando, Miami, and the West Palm 
Beach areas. Brown received 63 applications from Florida 
this year, again in direct proportion to Club size and the re- 
cruiting program each has developed. Hats off to Stuart Gol- 
ding '39 and his Tampa (Golden Triangle) club and Robert 
B. Downes '27 in Miami: and good luck to the newer clubs 
in their recruiting efl'orts this year. 

Louisiana applications have jumped from four in 1960 to 
13 in 1963, thanks mainly to the efforts of alumni in the New 
Orleans area. Dr. H. S. Mayerson '22, Richard Blakely '47, 
and Dr. Dean H. Echols '27 are helping to steer good boys 
our way. 

The above suggestion of alumni activities in the current 
rapid growth areas of the country and the lack of mention 
of strong alumni activity in other areas around the country 



THE REV. WILLIAM 

R. FORTNER '57, 

Cleveland. 




can be dangerous business at the very least. Mentioning a par- 
tial list of deserved names is, I suppose, like visiting relatives 
— if you visit one, you have to visit them all. 

But the purpose of this report is not merely to fill space 
with justifiable commendations to each of our interested and 
active alumni in the Sencondary School Program; I wish 
merely to illustrate the rapid growth that is taking place in 
that Program; to merely illustrate the rapid growth that is 
taking place in areas heretofore undeveloped; and to intimate 
what can be accomplished by organized alumni activity in this 
important and very necessary work. We do not belittle the 
help from alumni in the large cities of the Midwest and the 
densely populated Eastern areas. This work must continue 
and improve as elsewhere. 

Have You Thought About Your Own Opportunity? 

Perhaps the import of this message is more of a plea 
than a report. I should like to urge you (as you read this arti- 
cle) to join other Brown alumni in your area, or to act on 
your own, to help the Admission Office in seeking out future 
Brown men. If there is no organized Alumni Secondary 
School Program where you live, or if you wish to join a 
Brown Club nearby, I urge you to write Jim Gorham in the 
Alumni Office expressing your interest and willingness to par- 
ticipate with what available time you have. 

The Admission Office wants new alumni representatives 
in many of the smaller cities across the country. Alumni sup- 
port is constantly needed to create a strong representation of 
qualified boys from every State. It is the student body that 
makes Brown great. Strengthening the Brown community by 
the students it represents cannot be done by the Admission 
Office alone. 

We Admission Officers like to think that we have inspired 
prospective applicants in coming to Brown as we visit the 
many hundreds of schools that we do in the fall. However, 
you can be certain that, as effective as we may or may not be, 
there are probably 50 other Admission Officers from as many 
different colleges and universities expounding the best about

It is, therefore, the follow-up by our local alumni that even-

BEARS ON THE MAP: 



A picture 
that looks 
different 



WHERE DO Brown men live? The Alumni Office 
wanted to know in connection with a study being 
made of the alumni organization. The results, partic- 
ularly when compared with similar records of the past, are re- 
vealing, and Alumni Secretary Paul F. Mackesey '32 has 
shared them with us, for your benefit. 

Perhaps there are few surprises in the statistics, for we have 
been well aware (as we mailed the magazine each month) 
that the geographical distribution of Brown alumni has 
changed over the years. There are more Brown men farther 
from College Hill than there used to be, as totals and per- 
centages both show. 



Probably the specifics reflect general population changes in 
the United States, as census reports would verify, though we 
have attempted no correlation. At the same time, the growth 
of Brown's influence nationally would tend to affect ratios, 
too. 

We print the statistics because we believe they will be of 
interest to our readers. You'll be apt to look at the figures for 
your own State, of course. But, at the risk of pointing to the 
obvious, we'll note a few of the more marked changes: 

The percentage of Rhode Island alumni has dropped from 
27.8 to 16.2, but there are actually fewer Brown men in the 
University's home State than there were in 1946. In that year 
there were 54.7% of the alumni in New England; today 
57.2% live outside of New England. All areas beyond the 
Northeast have gained in percentage of alumni representation, 
but the most remarkable increase has been in the West — up 
from 2.8% of the Brown men to 7.1%. There are, for ex- 
ample, four times as many alumni in California today as in 
1946, five times as many in Colorado, four times as many in 
the West as a whole. In 1946 there were 297 Brown men in 
California: today there are 1315, a change which accounts 
for a lion's share (make that read "Bear's share," please). 

Incidentally, the geographical change is not the only new 
factor in alumni relations. We have a younger alumni popu- 
lation, too, due to the larger Classes at Brown since World 
War II. When the last Alumni Directory was published, it in- 
cluded 342 pages of Brown men between the Classes of 1887 
and 1965. The Man in the Middle is Allan F. Herschell of 
Kenmore, N. Y. His Class is 1949. 

The geographical figures speak for themselves. Have fun 
with them.

Onion Portage's 
New Sensation 





CONTINENT S OLDEST: The house the Brown expedition unearthed. 

THE REMAINS of three ancient houses that are among the 
oldest in North America, along with other important 
archeological finds as much as 8,000 years old, have 
been uncovered by a Brown University expedition in north- 
western Alaska. 

Digging at the Onion Portage on the Kobuk River, 50 
miles above the Arctic Circle and 100 miles inland from the 
waters of the Chukchi Sea that separates Alaska from Siberia. 
the members of the expedition encountered a great wealth of 
artifacts. Their discoveries may prove the key to unlock the 
mysteries of the migrating tribes that have passed through 
Alaska since the end of the Ice Age, when a land bridge con- 
nected Alaska and Siberia. 

J. Louis Giddings, the Brown anthropologist who dis- 
covered the site in 1956, planned last summer's expedition 
before his death caused by an automobile accident last De- 
cember. His widow, taking up his work, returned from 
Alaska recently with enthusiastic reports about the site and 
with thousands of artifacts to be studied and analyzed at 
Brown's HaffenrefTer Museum this winter. Mrs. Giddings 
succeeded her husband as Curator of the Museum. 

The expedition was headed by Prof. Froelich Rainey of 



12 



the University of Pennsylvania, who agreed to continue last 
summer the work of Prof. Giddings, his close friend, as a 
visiting professor at Brown. A Brown archeologist, Douglas D. 
Anderson, was also a member of the expedition, which was 
financed by a grant from the National Science Foundation. 

Excitement Ran High at the Revelation 

Digging in what the expedition called "Band IV," a level 
at which 4,000-year-old artifacts were found, the excavators 
uncovered small flint tools along with the remains of a house 
from this era of Eskimo culture. A second such house was 
found at the same level. Then, proceeding from that point, 
the expedition uncovered what may be the oldest house yet 
discovered in the Arctic, two and a half feet lower in the 
ground. The three houses were remnants of the so-called 
"Denbigh culture," named for an Alaskan cape where Dr. 
Giddings made the first discovery of such artifacts south of 
the present site in 1947. 

"Although a number of sites containing artifacts of the 
Denbigh culture are known throughout the Arctic." Mrs. 
Giddings said, "no Denbigh house has yet been found. So 
when definite house signs began to emerge as the workers 
trowelled away the dirt, excitement ran high. The house that 
was soon revealed is among the oldest yet found in the 
Arctic." 

But, she went on, the workers were even more surprised 
and excited by what came next. "Some two and a half feet 
beneath this circular house, after painstakingly removing 
with trowels and whiskbrooms another layer of white sand," 
she said, "workers began to note the outlines of a steeply- 
sloping wall. Carefully following its signs, they exposed the 
walls and floor of still another Denbigh house." 




THE LATE LOUIS GIDDINGS, with earlier Denbigh trophies. 

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



Apparently, Mrs. Giddings pointed out, the old Denbigh 
people excavated a circular area for their houses to a depth 
of some 12 inches, then placed poles on end against the low 
earthen wall, pulled the tops of the rods together, and covered 
them with skins or bark to make a commodious house with a 
central fireplace. 

The Amazing Skills of 4000 Years Ago 

Where the two 4,000-year-old houses stood, there were rich 
deposits of finely chipped, extremely small arrowheads and 
other small flint tools like those that had been discovered first 
by Dr. Giddings at other ancient Denbigh sites in Alaska, 
and then also found by others at spots in eastern Canada and 
Greenland. 

The form of the lower house was rectangular, with rounded 
corners, but its general construction is thought to be the same 
as the two more recent houses found above it. Two parallel 
logs straddled the hearth area, running from front to back, an 
arrangement that was still used by recent Kobuk River Eski- 
mos. On its floor, near the central hearth area, lay true Den- 
bigh-type artifacts, although some were more crudely 
fashioned than those in the upper two houses. The Denbigh 
people, whose tools and houses were uncovered in Band IV, 
used the finest stone-flaking technique in the New World for 
making tools and weapons. They made delicate knives of 
flint for cutting and scraping and for preparing animal hides 
for use. 

Onion Portage is one of the deepest, most clearly-stratified 
archeological sites in the Arctic, containing a record of man's 
history in that region back to the end of the Ice Age. Dr. 
Giddings discovered that for thousands of years men have 
camped at this spot on hunting trips, and for years there has 
been a convenient canoe portage at the site used by Eskimos 
and Indians. 

The site is on the river's edge at the foot of a high, sandy 
ridge. The ridge has stabilized the river's course at this 
point, allowing the centuries-old campsite to store its leavings 
rather than give them up to the erosion of the river, as has 
happened elsewhere. Erosion of the land above by wind and 
rain has carried loose sand and gravel to the lower elevation. 
This spread of alluvial material became an insulating blanket 
that protected each freshly buried layer from further dis- 
turbance, preserving its non-perishable materials and pro- 
viding successive generations of hunters with newly-covered 
campsites. 

Campsite Used 60 Centuries Before Christ 

One exciting discovery for the expedition was evidence 
found in the lowest band of culture that people have camped 
on the riverbank in immediately post-glacial times, about 60 
centuries before Christ. Dotting the excavation in its deepest 
parts, some 14 feet below the surface, were thick pockets of 
charcoal from man-made hearths. Around them were many 
chips and tiny stone knives known as microblades, some of 
them no more than a half-inch long. 

In addition to collecting cultural remains, the expedition 
gathered samples of soil and charcoal which will be thor- 
oughly tested and analyzed to determine their origin. The 
samples will provide a detailed record of the chronology and 
climatic history of northern Alaska. Such findings, say 
Brown anthropologists, will make a significant contribution 
both to the study of world climate and to the history of man 
in the New World.

thousands of artifacts brought back from the successful summer. 



There are 30 cultural levels at the site, situated in eight 
widely separated bands. Bones found at the lower levels are 
now being preserved and hardened, and will soon be analyzed 
for identification. Preliminary studies have confirmed that 
caribou, the main source of meat for modern Eskimos, has 
also been the staple meat of the area's Eskimos throughout 
history. Further studies will determine whether any of the 
bones found in the lowest levels were of animals now extinct. 

A Flight in Fear from the Shaman's House 

A large 13th century house ruin was found at the top of the 
site. It seems to have been the home of a man of importance, 
such as a "shaman," a wise man with magical powers. His 
skeleton lay on the floor of the house along with many finely 
decorated tools and the strewn skeletons of dogs that had 
apparently been clubbed to death. The scene suggested that 
the house was abandoned in haste and terror after the death 
of the owner. Eskimos in the recent past closed up a house 
in the same way, to keep all death spirits trapped within. 

The site, which is only partially excavated as yet, drew a 
number of interested visitors and scientists during the summer. 
Among them were Dr. Sten Florin, head of the Institute of 
Quaternary Geology of the University of Uppsala, Sweden; 
Dr. H. Marie Wormington, archaeologist from the Denver 
Museum of Natural History, Dr. Paul J. F. Schumacher, 
regional archaeologist of the National Park Service; Dr. Wil- 
liam N. Irving of the National Museum of Canada; Dr. David 
M. Hopkins of the United States Geological Survey; and Dr. 
Thorliefi'er Einnarson of Iceland. 

Brown anthropologists hope to continue excavations at the 
Onion Portage site in the coming summer field seasons.

Losses of 
a Fortnight 



THE FLAG on the south end of The College Green was 
lowered to half-mast on Oct. 7, the afternoon that 
Gordon L. Parker '18, Treasurer of the University, 
died. It was at half-mast thereafter until Oct. 19, following 
the funeral of Prof. C. Raymond Adams '18. In the interval 
between, two other Emeriti Professors of the University had 
also died: Prof. James B. Hedges and Prof. Henry B. Hunt- 
ington. Each of the four had had a long relationship with 
Brown and had contributed so notably to its welfare that the 
12-day period was no normal time of mourning. 

The 13th Treasurer 

THERE have been few Brunonians who have labored so long 
and effectively as volunteers in their University's service 
as Gordon Parker, Brown's 13th Treasurer since 1764. It was 
not the sort of work which was conspicuous or could be ap- 
preciated by many, a fact which made the more remarkable 
his devotion to Brown's welfare for nearly 40 years. While 
still an active banker in Providence, he was an adviser on 
finance, even before he became an official member of the 
Corporation's Investment Committee. 

Parker became Treasurer of Brown University in 1950, 
elected a Life Trustee in that same year. When he retired as 
a Vice-President of the Rhode Island Hospital Trust Co. in 
1959, he moved to University Hall, where he attended daily 
to the many duties of his office. Though being Treasurer of 
the University had never been a casual, honorary post, Par- 
ker made it a full-time job, to the great benefit of Brown's 
financial health. He was chiefly responsible for the investment 
of the University's funds, including an endowment that ex- 
ceeds $66,000,000 in market value. He served his Alma 
Mater without salary. 

Pointing out that Parker's service as a Trustee and Treas- 
urer had covered 15 years. President Keeney said: "His 
skillful management of our endowment brought ever-increas- 
ing benefits to the University. His work as a Trustee was 
outstanding, and in many cases he played a decisive part in 
forming our policy. We hope that his avocation was as re- 
warding to him as it was enriching to Brown." 

An earlier eulogy had been tendered in 1958, at the Com- 
mencement (40 years after his graduation) when the Treas- 
urer received a token of appreciation in the honorary degree 
of Doctor of Laws. "Gordon Lancaster Parker," the citation 
said, "Few men have served Brown so quietly and effectively 
as you have done as Treasurer, and none combines so well the 
incongruous traits of prudent restraint, generous provision, 
and thoughtful encouragement. Your talented care of the 
talents you care for impels us to say, 'Well done, thou good 
and faithful servant.' " 

Parker was born in Providence in 1896, the son of the late

Charles Marshall and Kate (Lancaster) Parker. World War 1. 
in which he served as a 2nd Lt. in the Field Artillery, pre- 
vented his graduating with his Class, but he received his Ph.B. 
the following June. His fraternity was Delta Kappa Epsilon. 
He returned to Providence after some time in the wool busi- 
ness in Salt Lake City and Boston and spent his entire bank- 
ing career from 1921 to 1959 with the Hospital Trust, work- 
ing in the Trust and Investment Departments. Investment 
analysis became his forte, and he was a shrewd trader. He 
also became Treasurer of the bank. 

In addition to his duties at Brown, Parker was a member of 
the Finance Committee of institutions like the Providence 
Public Library, of which he was a Trustee, and of agencies 
like the Rhode Island Cancer Society. He was a Trustee and 
Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Providence 
YWCA; he was Chairman of the Finance Committee of the 
First Congregational Church (later the First Unitarian 
Church) in Providence. He had been Secretary of the Invest- 
ment Committee of the Rhode Island School of Design. A 
Director of the Davol Rubber Co. and the National Ring 
Traveler Company, Parker served on the Executive Com- 
mittee of each. He was also a Director of the Counting House 
Corporation, the Davol Rubber Co. and the American 
Wringer Company. 

His widow is the former Marie Frederica Merriman, whom 
he married in 1933; their children are Mrs. William Frank- 
lin Yates, Jr., of Boston and Gordon L. Parker, Jr., "56 of 
Providence. Mrs. Parker's address: 72 Barnes St., Providence.

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



C. Raymond Adams 



THE SORT OF MAN who finishes a job, Prof. C. Raymond 
Adams '18 could regard a healthy Department of 
Mathematics at Brown when he retired as its Chairman 
in 1960. He had been a member of the Department since 1923 
and its Chairman since 1942, and (in the words of the 
Providence Evening Bulletin) "had much to do with as- 
sembling the group of scholars who now give the University 
exceptional strength in mathematics." 

During his chairmanship. Brown also established the Di- 
vision of Applied Mathematics. One of the first of its kind 
in this country in 1946, it immediately earned a place of 
eminence, and the cooperation of the "pure" mathematicians 
like Adams made its way easier. A Department of the History 
of Mathematics was created in 1947. Such incidents were part 
of the narrative when he wrote a history of mathematics at 
Brown a few years ago (without claims for personal credit). 

Continuing to teach until last January. Professor Adams 
accepted on his retirement at Brown a new post in which he 
took pleasure and saw opportunity for further service. He 
became Executive Secretary of the R. I. Commission for 
Higher Educational Facilities, an agency which had been in 
existence a year or two to distribute Federal construction 
funds to colleges and universities in the State. An ideal ap- 
pointment, he had not long to enjoy it. He became ill during 
the summer and died of cancer after two weeks of hospitaliza- 
tion on Oct. 15. 

President Keeney said: "He was one of those members of 
the Faculty who devoted a great part of their attention to 
the development of younger men. His consistent help and 
counsel will be greatly missed." 

The Brown Daily Herald offered its praise in other words: 
"Friendly and warm, willing to talk at length with anyone 
who would stop by his antique furniture-laden office, he 
quickly established himself here and around the nation as an 
eminent mathematician. His was a reputation acquired rapidly, 
but it was not to be retained in the same way it was gained. 
Dr. Adams initially won fame in the early 1930"s for his 
own work, his own research, his own publications. But in the 
1940"s he made a decision: he concluded he could best be of 
service to his field if he strived to make Brown's Math De- 
partment as strong as possible. And he made it very strong. 

"The drive to improve the Department came at something 
of a personal sacrifice to the man. The time he could devote 
to publishing in his own right became quite limited. But, in 
terms of the University as a whole, the sacrifice was worth- 
while, and there is reason to believe that Professor Adams 
thought so, too. The men he brought in. the inspiration he 
gave them, the knowledge they collectively imparted — all 
these have been and continue to be valuable." 

For the 25th time. Professor Adams was a Faculty Marshal 
at a Brown Commencement in 1964. the last before his 
retirement. The mathematician's interesting record began when 
he was a Class Marshal for his own graduation in 1918. when 
he was also a Commencement Orator; two years later, with 
his classmate, Zenas R. Bliss, he was a Marshal for the 
candidates for Master's degrees at Brown, receiving his Sc.M. 
When he received his Ph.D. in 1922 at Harvard. Adams 
served as Marshal for the doctoral group. Starting in 1939. 
he was a Faculty Marshal at Brown each year, except when 




Clarence Raymond Adams '18 



he was away on sabbatical in 1958. He was also Faculty 
Marshal when President Keeney and Dean Pierrel were 
installed. 

A former Vice-President of the American Mathematical 
Society, Professor Adams was influential in bringing its head- 
quarters to Providence when they were moved from New 
York City in 1952. He also chaired a committee of the 
Society which founded Mathematical Review, whose im- 
portance as a professional journal continues to mount. Adams 
served on the Council of the AMS and on many of its com- 
mittees: he had similar responsibilities with the Mathematical 
Association of America, for which he was once a Governor-at- 
Large. He was one of the proud hosts when the mathema- 
ticians held their national meetings at Brown a few years ago. 

In 1933 Professor Adams was named one of the 250 leading 
scientists in the country by the American Association for the 
Advancement of Science, of which he became a Fellow. He 
was also a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and 
Sciences and a member of such varied groups as the Royal 
Mathematical Institution of Great Britain, the Circolo 
Matemico di Palermo, the Corporation of the R. I. School of 
Design, and the National Association on Standard Medical 
Vocabulary. He served on the Advisory Panel of the Air 
Research and Development Command for a decade. (He had 
helped organize and teach the Air Force's Pre-Meteorological 
Units at Brown during World War II.) 

Professor Adams had the unusual distinction of servina 



NOVEMBER 1965 



13 



both the Rhode Island Alpha of Phi Beta Kappa and the 
Brown Chapter of Sigma Xi as President. Other presidencies 
included the Brown Faculty Club and the Brown Chapter of 
the AAUP. A member of many community civic, historical, 
and social organizations (including Alpha Tau Omega 
fraternity), he devoted major attention to his church afl51ia- 
tion. In the First Baptist Church, in whose Meeting House his 
memorial service was held, he was the incumbent Moderator; 
he had been a Trustee, Chairman of the Board of Deacons, 
and Chairman of the World Crusade Fund Committee. 

Adams had been a G.A.R. Fellow while a Brown student 
and a Shattuck Fellow at Harvard, where he added an A.M. 
and Ph.D. to his two Brown degrees. In addition, he studied 
for a year at the Universities of Rome and Gottingen as a 
Sheldon Traveling Fellow. 

Traveling remained a lifelong pleasure, whether for profes- 
sional or holiday purposes. Indeed, he once responded as 
follows to a 1918 reunion questionnaire that asked for high 
spots and low spots in his life: "High spot — Pike's Peak, 1934, 
14,108 feet. Low spot — Death Valley — 280 feet, sunk to this 
level in 1940." His own photographs were souvenirs of high 
quality. 

For many years, the endowment of the University has in- 
cluded a section listed as the "ARC Fund." The source of 
recurring gifts to it was identified only by the initials, which 
reverse those of Professor Adams. It was appropriate, there- 
fore, that the University is adding to this fund all gifts made to 
Brown as memorials "in lieu of flowers," since Dr. Adams' 
death. He married Miss Rachel Blodgett in 1922, and she 
survives him at 60 Intervale Rd., Providence 02906. 



James B. Hedges 

AN ALUMNUS took his Freshman son to meet his old 
/\ Professor, James B. Hedges, some years ago. "You'll 
X \ meet a lot of people in this University," said the father. 
"This is the man you'll remember." 

The Brown historian has been in the thoughts of many 
former students since his death on Oct. 13. George B. Little- 
field Professor of American History for more than 30 years, 
he had officially retired in 1962 but actually taught his last 
class last spring. He was twice Chairman of his Department, 
from 1939 to 1952 and from 1958 to 1960. 

"You did not have to know James Blaine Hedges, to take 
his courses or read any of his books, to realize that the man 
was an institution unto himself," said the Brown Daily Herald 
in an editorial. "You hear stories, you listen to people talk. 
and you know. 

"Some of the tales sound apocryphal, but those who tell 
them swear they are true. Once, for instance, Lawrence C. 
Wroth, the Librarian Emeritus of the John Carter Brown 
Library, was speaking of the way Dr. Hedges would conduct 
his research only during vacations and holidays, concentrating 
on teaching while classes were in session. The story goes that 
the Professor would break off his writing in early September 
in the middle of a sentence and not return again until 
Christmas. When he did come back in December, he would 
pick up his pencil, finish his September sentence, and con- 
tinue — as if his attention had been only momentarily dis- 
tracted by a phone call. 

"Much of the Hedges legend is grounded on such testaments 




James Blaine Hedges 



to the man's memory — the way he would lecture without 
notes, the way he could recall exact footnotes, the way he 
knew just where a document that he had consulted 15 years 
before would be when he wanted to find it again. But other 
parts of it, no less important, concern his brilliance, his wit, 
his temper, his outspokenness. Some of these qualities could 
be easily recognized in informal conversations with the man 
in his office, where he would be warm, relaxed, and genial. 

"And yet it was in the classroom where the true essence 
was displayed in all its hues and combinations. Former 
students are quick to recall the Professor's uncompromising 
manner. Almost as quickly would they recall the sense of 
immediacy with which he would impart the teachings of 
American history." 

His widow, the former Nina Leonard, once said of him: 
"He thinks students should be challenged to disagree. He 
doesn't want a placid audience, and he sees that he doesn't 
get one." 

Such a man would issue the challenge he is associated 
with: a standing ofTer of an "A" to anyone in his classes who 
could give a convincing statement about a real difference be- 
tween the American political parties. 

His former students tell many stories about Professor 
Hedges. One undergraduate had asked him why John Hancock 
didn't welcome George Washington when the latter rode into 
Boston as President. "Hedges answered instantly, and some-

thing about his tone of voice, the kind of casual turn he gave 
to his answer — it was just as if he, Hedges, had been in Boston 
at that time. "Well,' he said, 'you know that Hancock suflCered 
terribly from gout, and that year he was having an especially 
bad siege of it, went about wrapped up in red baize. . . .' " 

Dr. Hedges was blessed with a phenomenal memory. It was 
no effort for him to cite any major league batting average, 
and he was an avid baseball fan. He needed few notes for his 
books, though his research was thorough — he just remem- 
bered. One colleague recalls that for a book on the Canadian 
Pacific Hedges needed only a handful of 3 x 5 cards, where 
anyone else would have had required reams of data. He 
remembered references he wanted to use and would just go 
back to them when he was ready to write. 

President Keeney was one of the young men recruited for 
Dr. Hedges' Department in 1946. He had this to say the day 
that his friend died: "Professor Hedges inspired generations 
of students by his brilliant teaching, which was both scholarly 
and contemporary. His writings earned the respect of his 
peers in American history. As a citizen of the University, he 
contributed greatly to its moral tone. Those whom he brought 
here and who knew him and loved him well have especial 
reason to be grateful to him." 

Another former member of the History Department, Prof. 
Edmund S. Morgan of Yale, once said: "James B. Hedges is 
one of the most exacting scholars in the historical profession. 
He never forgets a fact, never loses perspective, never relaxes 
his standards. His scholarship is a reflection of the man, for 
his transparent honesty and keen insight give him a command- 
ing position among his colleagues. He would be the last person 
in the world to impose his view on others — no man was ever 
better at minding his own business — but, when Hedges speaks, 
people pay attention." 

Professor Hedges was 73 years old. He's been born in 
Missouri and was a graduate of its University. He taught 
first at the University of Oklahoma and Mills College before 
earning his doctorate at Harvard in 1924. Before he came 
to Brown he had been on the Faculty at Clark and Harvard. 

His published works in American history include Henry 
ViUard and the Railways of the Northwest, 1930; The Federal 
Land Subsidy Policy of Canada, 1934; Building the Canadian 
Northwest, 1939; Westward Expansion (with Ray Billington), 
1949; and The Browns of Providence Plantations: Colonial 
Years, 1952. Another volume on the Browns was in prepara- 
tion. In addition to contributing many articles to scholarly 
publications, he was a member of the Board of Editors of the 
American Historical Review for five years. One of his last 
editorial services was in connection with Brown Bicentennial 
publications. 

Professor Hedges had been elected to the American 
Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1949. He was a member of 
the Executive Council of the American Historical Association 
and its Public Archives Commission; he headed the committee 
which awarded the AHA's Justin Winsor Prize. In addition 
to an honorary L.H.D. from Brown, he held an honorary 
LL.D. from Bryant College. 

"Good and bad students alike (few could remain indifferent) 
remember with affection and respect your exhaustive knowl- 
edge, your penetrating analysis, and the promise of more for 
those who seek it," said President Keeney, in the 1964 citation. 
"As Chairman of your Department, you brought here young 
men who promised and often achieved distinction. None of 
them will ever forget your kindly guidance, and most will 



come to think of the years with you as their happiest. Whether 
your books describe the opening of the West or the opening 
of the world to Rhode Island entrepreneurs, they are of first 
importance. Therefore, our students, alumni, faculty, and 
your colleagues everywhere would join in honoring you 
today." 

Except for the cane that he made a jaunty accessory in late 
years. Professor Hedges often had no companion as he crossed 
The College Green: his schedule and his pace were his own. 
But he was never alone, and appreciation will long attend his 
memory. 

Henry B. Huntington 

PROF. Henry Barrett Huntington was 90 when he 
died on Oct. 14, but the number of former students who 
attended his funeral in Grace Church, Providence, was 
testimony to the regard in which he was held by the Campus 
of his four active decades on the Brown Faculty. 

It was more than his reputation as teacher of English 
literature which made him remembered, though he was the 
beloved "Beowulf" to some of his students. His most famous 
course was in "Argumentative Composition," which not only 
the future lawyers elected instead of math requirements for 
the A.B. Of this. Prof. Robert W. Kenny '25 spoke in the 
memorial minute offered before the Faculty at its November 
meeting: 

"With the late George Pierce Baker of Harvard, Professor 
Huntington was the author of Principles of Argumentation, 
the standard work on the subject for many years. For many 
years, also. Professor Huntington, by nature a kindly man, 
taught an exacting and initially forbidding course in the 
subject — known to many generations of Brown men as Eng- 
lish 7-8. The course then, as now, concerned itself with the 
logical and persuasive presentation of facts. Professor Hunt- 
ington would deflate many an undergraduate by merely in- 
quiring. 'Mr. Smith, do you really believe this to be the 
truth?' " 

A companion course for many years was English 10, De- 
bate, which trained students in what the Catalogue described 
as "correct and vigorous oral presentation of ideas." It was 
no coincidence that Professor Huntington's volunteer coach- 
ing was in the period of Brown's preeminence in Varsity in- 
tercollegiate debate. He was an important influence in the 
lives of future attorneys and others. 

In an era when the University had fewer administrative 
officers, Professor Huntington performed a central duty in 
the work of the Financial Aid Office. Indeed, in 1945, when 
Huntington retired after 43 years on the Faculty, President 
Wriston said in his Annual Report to the Corporation: "No 
member of the Faculty has known students better or has 
been better able to estimate character and capacities. His 
long and valued work in connection with the distribution of 
scholarship aid has been of the highest importance." His 
name was always prominent in the appointment of Faculty 
committees. 

Professor Huntington had been educated at St. Paul's 
School, Concord, N. H., and Harvard, where his Class was 
1897. Two years of teaching at Dartmouth were sandwiched 
between two at his Alma Mater before he came to Brown 
in 1902. He became a full Professor in 1929.

The grandson of Frederic Dan Huntington, Episcopal 
Bishop of Central New York, Professor Huntington was him- 
self an active churchman. He was on the Vestry of Grace 
Church, Providence, for 37 years and its Clerk for 31. When 
the centennial was observed in 1931, he was the author of 
A History of Grace Church in Providence. He was also 
Secretary of the Cathedral Corporation (St. John's). In ad- 
dition to professional memberships, he was President of the 
Board of Trustees of the Mary C. Wheeler School and Presi- 
dent of the Brown Teachers' Association. He was a member 
of Phi Beta Kappa and Delta Upsilon. 

Professor Kenny said of Professor Huntington: "His reli- 
gious feeling showed itself in his literature courses, which 
frequently had a strong ethical orientation. Matthew Arnold's 
criticism, also ethically oriented, strongly moved him, and I 
believe his teaching philosophy can well be expressed in two 
objectives stated in Arnold's Sweetness and Light: To ren- 
der an intelligent being yet more intelligent' and 'to make 
reason and the will of God prevail.' This was Henry Hunt- 
ington's credo, and generations of Brown men were the 
beneficiaries of it." 

Among the four children who survive is Miss Arria Sargent 
Huntington, 23 John St., Providence 6. She was his faithful 
companion during the late years of poor health. 



A New Treasurer 




PATRICK J. JAMES '32. 
(Photo by Jan Jachniewicz) 



TO SUCCEED the late Gordon L. Parker '18 of Providence 
as Treasurer of Brown University, the Corporation has 
elected Patrick J. James '32, Vice-President of the Chase 
Manhattan Bank in New York and its Director of In- 
vestment Research. The action was taken at the annual 
meeting of the Corporation on Oct. 30. 

Unlike Treasurer Parker, who managed the University's 
investments from an office in University Hall as a full-time 
volunteer, James will work at longer range while continuing 
in his responsibilities at the Chase Manhattan. In addition to 



serving as Treasurer of Brown, he will assume the chairman- 
ship of the University's Investment Committee. In that post he 
follows Hunter S. Marston '08, retired New York investment 
banker. It is the intention of the Investment Committee to 
hire a full-time fiscal officer to care for the day-to-day in- 
vestment affairs of the University in Providence. 

The summer before James entered Brown, he had qualified 
for the U.S. Olympic boxing team. In his teens he had won 
many amateur titles in the ring, both U.S. sectional and In- 
ternational. To help finance his college education, he boxed 
professionally for a year and was coach of boxing at Brown 
for three of his undergraduate years. As a student he was 
also on the Freshman cross country team and was active in 
the Brown Christian Association. His fraternity is Sigma Nu. 
James came to Brown from Youngstown, a graduate of 
Memorial High School in nearby Campbell, O. Between high 
school and college he worked in the steel mills in Youngstown 
for a year and a half. 

Although some of his studies on College Hill were pre- 
medical, James found his career in the investment field in- 
stead. He went to work for the Travelers Insurance Company 
in the fall of 1932 as an actuary in training and as a field 
man. In January, 1934, James and an associate decided to 
set up an investment firm in Bath, N. Y. Though this was 
successful, he was eager to earn his spurs in New York City 
and went there in the spring of 1935. Though the investment 
business was at a low ebb at the time, James recalls that his 
knowledge of chemistry and the steel industry served him 
well. 

Standard Statistics hired him in June, 1935, as an invest- 
ment specialist, and he remained there for three years. James 
then became an investment counsel in private practice from 
1938 to 1943, when he joined the Chase Manhattan Bank. 
During this period, he had also been consultant to several 
New York Stock Exchange firms and financial institutions. 

Starting with the Chase in its investment service, he was 
successively an analyst (1943), Assistant Manager (1945), 
Assistant Cashier and Investment Officer (1947), a Second 
Vice-President in the Trust Department ( 1950). He has been 
Director of Investment Research since 1950 and a Vice-Presi- 
dent of the Chase Manhattan Bank since 1956. 

His memberships include the New York Society for Se- 
curity Analysts, and he has contributed frequently to profes- 
sional journals. He is an Associate Editor of the Financial 
Analysts Journal, which is published by the Financial An- 
alysts Federation. He took advanced studies at Columbia Uni- 
versity. 

Brown has found him a loyal alumnus, involved in many 
local and national activities. He is a former Director-at-Large, 
sitting on the Board of Directors of the Associated Alumni. 
He served for several years as a Trustee of the Brown Uni- 
versity Fund and was Long Island Chairman for the Fund. 

James is a resident of Garden City, Long Island. He met his 
wife while he was an undergraduate and she a student at the 
Rhode Island School of Design, the former Ruth Thelma 
Haaland. Married in 1934, they have three children, two 
daughters and a son, and three grandchildren. 

James was in London when he was notified in 1963 that 
he had been elected a Term Trustee on the Brown Corpo- 
ration for a seven-year term. He wrote that it was a "pleasant 
and unexpected surprise." He continues on the Corporation, 
of course, for the Treasurer of the University is traditionally 
a member of the Board of Trustees.

An exciting team 
that wouldn't quit 



HIGHLIGHTED by a decisive 6-0 upset of 
a strong Colgate team, Brown's foot- 
ball season was marked by a steady im- 
provement. Unfortunately for the Bruins, 
the caliber of the opposition grew stronger 
each week, and the team sported a some- 
what deceptive 1-5 record going into the 
final three games. 

There is no question but what Coach 
John McLaughry and his staff would like 
to have another crack at the first three op- 
ponents on the schedule. Rhode Island de- 
feated Brown, 14-6, after which the Bears 
were shut out by rather weak Penn and 
Yale teams, 7-0 and 3-0 respectively. On 
the basis of its performances against Col- 
gate and Princeton, the Bruins might easily 
have reversed the outcome of those first 
three games. 

Brown simply didn't have the size, 
speed, depth or over all ability to handle 
Dartmouth and lost. 35-9, but not before 
showing flashes of fine offensive and de- 
fensive football. The improvement con- 



tinued the next week against Colgate, a 
team that couldn't get within Brown's 44- 
yard line but a club that a week later 
turned around and dumped Army, 29-28. 
And against what some observers have 
called the finest all-around Princeton team 
of all time, Brown played a creditable 
game, with a spectacular offensive dis- 
play. 

What were some of the reasons for the 
relatively slow start? For one thing, this 
is a "young" football team. Of the top 22 
offensive and defensive players, nine had 
no prior Varsity experience. This group 
includes seven Sophomores plus two Jun- 
iors, offensive guard Bob O'Day and de- 
fensive back Wynn Jessup, who missed the 
1964 campaign with injuries. When you 
have to blend that many inexperienced 
men into your offensive and defensive units 
perhaps the progress is bound to be de- 
ferred. 

Another factor may have been the con- 
dition of Bob Hall. He was named ECAC 



Sophomore of the Year in 1963 even 
though he missed the final three games 
after suffering a broken leg against Prince- 
ton. The 1964 season was a series of frus- 
trations for Hall as he divided his time 
between halfback and quarterback and 
tried to fight off the physical and mental 
effects of his very serious injury at Prince- 
ton. 

This year. Hall was obviously Brown's 
main offensive threat and the opposition, 
knowing this, set its defenses to stop him. 
These defenses, plus poor blocking, slowed 
Hall down in the early going. He was a 
marked man. But the offense gained au- 
thority. Finally, against Colgate he was 
able to get to the outside constantly, and 
he began to run with assurance, with the 
abandon he had shown as a Sophomore. 
With the confidence given him by this 
performance, Hall, a real football player, 
continued in the same vein against the 
tough Tigers. 

"Hall has had a long, tough row fighting 
his way back since he was injured as a 
Sophomore," McLaughry said. "Things 
just never went right last season, but he 
finally hit his stride against Colgate and 
Princeton. He's a fine boy and one of 
Brown's all-time great backs." 

Despite the fact that the season was 
not going well, the spirit of this year's 
squad was excellent. Coach McLaughry 
claimed that it was the best group of boys

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



he has had at Brown in this respect. He 
attributed this to the fact that there was 
a good blend of Sophomores, Juniors, and 
Seniors on the club, with the result that 
there was some competition for positions 
for the first time on the Hill in recent 
years. 

As predicted in the last issue of this 
magazine. Brown's strong point in the 
first half of the season was the defense 
With the exception of the Homecoming 
battle with an explosive Dartmouth team, 
the Bears limited the opposition to 24 
points in four games. However, in those 
same four games, the Bears could score 
only 12 points. 

The somewhat young but aggressive de- 
fensive unit used by Coach John Mc- 
Laughry included Junior Tom Stranko and 
Sophomore John Adamiak at the ends. 
Junior Al Moser and Sophomore Steve 
Yablonski at tackle, Senior Ackley Blocher 
at middle guard. Senior Terry Zerngast 
and Sophomores Tom Whidden and Jerry 
Batty at the linebacker posts, and Junior 
Wynn Jessup, Senior Bill Peters, and Soph- 
omore Joe Petrucelli in the three-deep po- 
sitions. 

This unit, including only three Seniors, 
jelled early. Whidden. the 5-11, 205- 
pounder from Attleboro Falls, Mass., gave 
indication of developing into one of the 
best linebackers Brown has had in some 
time. Zerngast, always an underrated 
player, was having his best year, and Jes- 
sup had proven an excellent deep man. 
both in defending against the pass and in 
coming up to the line to stop the running 
play. 

Unfortunately, Brown just never could 
mount a consistent offense in the first four 
games. The team moved the ball well be- 
tween the 20-yard lines and. in some cases, 
piled up impressive statistics, but the 
scoring punch was not there. 

Perhaps one reason was that the opposi- 
tion, with the exception of Colgate, was 
able to key its defense on quarterback Bob 
Hall. The first four teams on the schedule 
took away Hall's favorite play, the rollout. 
They did this by spreading the defensive 
line wide and giving the Bruins potential 
running room up the middle, knowing 
that on paper Brown did not figure to have 
the personnel to take advantage of this sit- 
uation. As a result, over the first four 
games Hall had only 63 yards rushing in 
54 attempts for a 1.2 average. 

Another factor was that Brown's offen- 
sive blocking left much to be desired, at 
least through the early going. Then, too, 
the offense was geared to the short yard- 
age pick-up. both on the ground and 
through the air. Many teams use this sort 
of offense and use it successfully. One 
problem is that when a team has to go 
70 or 80 yards for a score, grinding it out 
in short chunks, there is the increased 
possibility of something going wrong along 
the way — the penalty, fumble, or inter- 
ception. 

YALE 3, BROWN 

Statistically, Brown dominated the 70th 
meeting with Yale, leading in first downs, 
11-8, passing. 158-46. and total ofliense, 
199-129. But the Elis won the game on a

23-yard fourth quarter field goal by Soph- 
omore Dan Begel after their only sus- 
tained drive of the afternoon. 

For the first three quarters. Yale was 
held to a total offense of 46 yards, 29 
rushing and 17 passing. The only time it 
posed a scoring threat it was with the 
help of a Brown fumble on the Bruins' 
37-yard line late in the third quarter. But 
the Elis could gain only 9Vi yards on 
three downs, and on fourth down their 



Jim Gronninger was piled up short of the 
first down by Whidden and Blocher. 

In the fourth period Coach Carmen 
Cozza inserted his Senior quarterback, 
Watts Humphrey, and Barrows, a Sopho- 
more fullback. He also sent Yale into 
something they hadn't used before, a 
straight T offense. Humphrey sent Barrows 
into the line on quick-opening slants for 
consistent gains and completed three of 
three passes for 30 yards. His third toss

to Groninger gave Yale a first down on 
the Bear 10. After three plays had netted 
only six yards Begel came off the bench 
to boot his 23-yard field goal. 

Brown had moved the ball fairly well 
all during the game. In the first quarter 
Tom Mennell missed a field goal from the 
Yale 27. Another drive reached the Yale 
27 in the same period before an intercep- 
tion halted the advance. Then, after Yale 
had taken the lead, the Bruins drove 50 
yards to the Yale 24 where on a fourth- 
and-two situation fullback Pete Thorbahn 
was stopped at the line of scrimmage. 

Hall was held to minus two-yards on the 
ground by the alert Yale defense. How- 
ever he had an excellent day in the air, 
completing a Brown record total of 21 
passes in 32 attempts for 158 yards. He 
and Jim Dunda had shared the old single- 
game record of 16 completions. Junior 
halfback John Hutchinson caught seven 
of Hall's tosses. 

Nine of the 22 starters for Brown were 
Sophomores, which is a factor to be con- 
sidered. The coaching staff had high praise 
for the play of linebackers Whidden, who 



had 22 tackles, Zerngast, and Batty, de- 
fensive ends Adamiak and Stranko, and 
defensive backs Peters and Jessup. 

DARTMOUTH 35, BROWN 9 

Dartmouth came to Brown Field the 
nation's top-ranked team in total and rush- 
ing defense, but the Bruins put forth their 
best balanced offensive effort of the season 
and made a game of it for the better part 
of two periods. Brown gained 151 yards 
rushing and 100 passing, a total of 251 
that far exceeded the Indians' previous av- 
erage defensive yield of 138 yards in their 
first three games. 

Unlike Brown's first three opponents, 
Dartmouth had far too many horses for 
Brown to handle. Perhaps speed was the 
major difference between the two teams. 
This was evident on the opening play 
when Indian Sophomore Gene Ryzewicz 
took the kickoff and dashed 90 yards for 
a touchdown. It was evident on several oc- 
casions throughout the game when Dart- 
mouth linemen were able to catch Brown 
backs from behind. 

Brown quickly recovered from the ini- 



tial shock. Hall almost broke away on 
the ensuing kickoff before being stopped 
at his 41 by the last Indian on the reserva- 
tion. The Bears then drove to the Dart- 
mouth three before a 15-yard penalty for 
having an ineligible receiver down field 
set them back. Brown had to settle for a 
33-yard field goal by Mennell. 

Having found the Brown ground de- 
fenses tough to crack, Dartmouth went 
to the air and broke the game open in the 
second quarter. Quarterback Mickey Beard, 
pumping and faking beautifully, triggered 
an 82-yard scoring march by completing 
three consecutive passes, the longest of 
which was a 49-yarder to halfback Paul 
Klungness. On the fifth play, 226-pound 
fullback Pete Walton scored from the nine. 
An intercepted pass set Dartmouth up for 
business on the Brown 44 just before half- 
time, and the Indians scored again to lead, 
21-7. 

Dartmouth got another break in the 
third period when Hall fumbled while 
trying to throw. Dartmouth recovered on 
the 18 and scored in one play, a sweep 
around his left end by Ryzewicz. Brown

scored in the same period when Whidden 
intercepted a Beard pass at the Dartmouth 
48, received a crushing block by Jessup. 
and sprinted down the far sideline, just 
diving across ahead of two Dartmouth 
defenders. 

Dartmouth scored again in the final pe- 
riod, while the Bears had two drives that 
died inside the Big Green 10. One of the 
bright features from the Brown point of 
view was the outstanding punting of Junior 
Joe Randall. Ranked 11th nationally go- 
ing into the game, Randall brought the 
Homecoming crowd to its feet with a 
75-yard punt in the first quarter. Later, 
against the wind, he had boots of 70 and 
68 yards from the spot of the kick. He 
averaged 48 yards for the afternoon from 
the line of scrimmage and moved into the 
number-two spot on the national scene. 

Dartmouth led in first downs, 18-17, 
rushing, 209-151, and passing. 134-100. 
Hall hit on 15 of 30 attempts. Hutchinson 
and Sophomore end John Olson each had 
five receptions. The coaches again praised 
the defensive play of Whidden. Zerngast. 
and Jessup, as well as the performance 
turned in by Sophomore tackles Yablonski 
and Mark Seliga. 

BROWN 6, COLGATE 

Quarterback Hall had the best day of 
his college career as the Bears upset Col- 
gate before 9.100 at Brown Field. The 
entire team played aggressive football, but 
this had to be Hall's day. The Walpole. 
Mass., Senior had a total offense of 214 
yards. He gained 132 net yards rushing. 
the best by a Brown back since Jan Mo- 
yer's 135 yards against Harvard in 1961, 
and he added 82 passing. His 10 comple- 
tions in 23 attempts boosted his season 
completion total to 76. which tied the 
Brown season record set by Jack Rohrbach 
in 1960. 

However, his important pass was a nine- 
yarder to Bill Carr that provided the win- 
ning touchdown in the third period. For 
the long afternoon, the Bruins compiled a 
total offense of 325 yards against a team 
that had been ranked among the nation's 
defensive leaders. On that afternoon, at 
least, it was the Brown defensive unit that 
deserved the applause. Colgate was limited 
to 10 first downs. 79 yards rushing, and 
63 through the air. The Red Raiders never 
got closer than 44 yards from the Brown 
goal. 

Colgate played a defense that was dif- 
ferent than anything Brown had seen in 
1965. The ends dropped off, perhaps in an 
effort to halt Brown's passing attack. The 
move was successful in a sense, since Hall 
was held to three completions in 13 at- 
tempts in the first half. But, by dropping 
the ends off the line, Colgate gave Hall 
the rollout. Once around the corner, Hall 
is a dangerous broken-field runner. 

The Colgate defense, bolstered by two 
excellent linebackers in Ray Ilg and John 
Paske, was known for its pursuit and gang 
tackling. Coach McLaughry had his backs 
cutting back against this flow and picking 
up good yardage in the process. Hutchin- 
son, Bill Carr, Thorbahn, and Jay Fowler 
were particularly eff^ective slicing through 
the middle. 




BEAR AND INDIAN ot Homecoming. But the drumbeat hod a victory sound. 



Two fumbles and a blocked kick gave 
Brown three chances deep in Colgate terri- 
tory in the first half, but the Raiders held. 
The best opportunity came when Zerngast 
blocked Ilg's punt and Brown recovered 
on the 34. Hall picked up a first down at 
the seven, and Fowler moved to the two 
on first down. However, neither Hall, 
Fowler, nor Carr could make it across the 
last white line. 

Brown's third-period drive covered 63 
yards in 10 plays, the key one a third-and- 
11 pass to Hutchinson from the Colgate 
46. The Junior halfback took it at the 37, 
broke a tackle, and raced to the 23. Carr 
moved it to the 17. Hutchinson to the 
nine, and then Hall faded back and hit 
Carr in the far corner of the end zone. 
Mennell missed the extra point, but it 
made no difference the way the Brown of- 
fense held the fort. 

Brown led in first downs, 18-10, in 
rushing, 243-79, and in passing, 82-63. 
Randall's punting average suffered some- 
what when twice in the last quarter he in- 
tentionally kicked out of bounds to try 



and keep the Red Raiders bottled up. He 
had a 31.5 average for the afternoon. Carr 
hauled in seven of Hall's passes for 43 
yards. 

PRINCETON 45, BROWN 27 

Brown lost the game but won the re- 
spect of the crowd for its never-say-die 
performance against undefeated and highly- 
favored Princeton before 23.000 fans at 
Palmer Stadium. When the dust of battle 
had cleared, the one man who stood out 
above all others was Bob Hall, Brown's 
Senior quarterback from Walpole, Mass., 
who put on a show that those who saw 
the game will be talking about for some 
time to come. 

Down through the years several Brown 
backs have had outstanding days. There 
was Bill Sprackling against Yale in 1910, 
Fritz Pollard in both the Yale and Har- 
vard games of 1916. Shine Hall in his 
memorable duel with Sid Luckman and 
Columbia in 1938, Bob Margarita against 
Columbia in 1942, and Paul Choquette in 
the Yale game of 1958. Yet it is doubtful 



NOVEMBER 1965 



23 



if any Brunonian ever put on a more scin- 
tillating show on the gridiron than did 
Hall at Tigertown. 

For his afternoon's work, Brown's sig- 
nal-caller carried the ball 18 times for 95 
yards, completed 19 of 38 passes for 243 
yards, compiled a total offense of 338 
yards, scored one touchdown on a twisting 
28-yard run through the entire Princeton 
team, passed for three touchdowns, and 
returned four kickoffs for 87 yards. 

In the process. Hall broke four Brown 
records, tied two others, and set an Ivy 
mark. His total offense of 338 eclipsed 
the old Brown total of 286 yards set by 
Doc Savage in 1943 against Coast Guard 
Academy. His 38 passing attempts bettered 
both the Ivy League and Brown marks, 
while his 19 completions brought his sea- 
son's total to 95, surpassing Jack Rohr- 
bach's Brown total of 76 in 1960 and 
also enabling him to tie at 170 the career 
mark of Frank Finney '59. Hall surpassed 
Finney's career record for total offense 
with 2,670 yards compared to 2,559. And 
his three touchdown passes in one game 
tied a Brown record shared by several. 

As a result of his labors. Hall received 
two honors. He was named to the Eastern 
College Athletic Conference's weekly All- 
East team, and he also was selected as Ivy 
League back of the week. The latter honor 
is especially significant since the Ivy back 
of the week is usually a member of a win- 
ning team. 

"This was the best job by any quarter- 
back I've had," Coach McLaughry said. 
"The only other back I would compare 
with Hall for game performance is Paul 
Choquette '60, and Paul was a very differ- 
ent type of player." 

McLaughry put Hall in a category with 
Princeton's Dick Kazmaier '52, two-time 
All-American, noting that the Bruin quar- 
terback has all the qualities of a tailback 
in single wing football. He has the threat 
of a run or pass on the rollout and puts 
tremendous pressure on the defense. 

Dick Colman, princeton coach, paid 
Hall the supreme compliment when he said 
that Hall put on the greatest performance 
by a T-quarterback that he has ever seen 
against the Tigers in Palmer Stadium. 
Colman has been a Hall booster for sev- 
eral years. In 1963, after Hall broke his 
leg in the Princeton game, Colman and 
members of the Tiger squad visited Hall 
during his stay in the infirmary and got 
to know him quite well. At the conclusion 
of this year's game. Hall walked off the 
field with Colman and McLaughry. 

The Odds Were All in the Tiger's Favor 

Going into the game, Princeton, defend- 
ing Ivy League champions, had scored 
35.4 points a game and allowed an aver- 
age of only 6.6 points. In the nation's ma- 
jor-college ranks, the Tigers were sixth 
in total offense (372), fifth in rushing of- 
fense (239), and fifth in rushing defense. 
In Charley Gogolak Princeton had statis- 
tically at least the finest field goal kicker 
in the history of the game, and Senior 
tailback Ron Landeck was 12th in the 
nation in total offense with 995 yards. 

In contrast. Brown's accomplishments 
on the gridiron appeared pale — a 1-4 rec- 



ord and an average of four points per 
game. Despite Brown's improved showing 
against Colgate, the game with Princeton 
looked like a gross mismatch. One New 
York paper picked the Tigers by six touch- 
downs. 

Actually what the fans saw was an ex- 
citing, wide-open football game and a 
brilliant duel between Hall and Landeck. 
The latter passed for four touchdowns, a 
new Ivy record, scored one on a run, and 
compiled a total offense of 297 yards. 

Princeton started as if it could go on 
to name its own total, scoring on three 
plays the first time it had the ball and 
later converting a blocked punt into a 
second touchdown. Trailing 14-0, the 
Bruins suddenly came to life and for the 
next 50 minutes matched the Tigers touch- 
down for touchdown. 

Brown's first score came on an 80-yard 
march that started in the first period and 
was completed on a four-yard pass from 
Hall to Bill Carr on the initial play of the 
second period. Of the 80 yards. Hall per- 
sonally accounted for 75, rushing for 29 
and passing for 46. Princeton matched 
Brown's second period touchdown and led, 
21-7 at the half. The Tigers were moving 
almost at will, both on the ground and 
through the air and might have had two 
additional scores except for a pair of 
vital interceptions inside the Brown 10 by 
Sophomore defensive back Dave Jollin. 

A New Half aad a New Script 

The second half was a different story. 
The young Brown defensive unit seemed 
to adjust to the Princeton single-wing of- 
fense, and the Tigers had much more dif- 
ficulty moving the ball. The Bears forced 
a break at the start of the third period, re- 
covering a fumble at the Princeton 35. 
Hall had a touchdown on the board in two 
plays, first passing for seven yards to 
Carr and then swinging out around his 
left end, cutting back against the defen- 
sive flow, and going 28 yards. Junior Tom 
Mennell converted for the second time 
and Brown trailed, 21-14. 

An aroused Tiger stormed back for a 
touchdown midway through the third pe- 
riod, but Brown matched it with a 90-yard, 
10-play drive. Again, Hall did the bulk of 
the work, accounting for 85 of the 90 
yards. He returned the kickoff 26 yards to 
the 36, then picked up a total of 10 yards 
on the ground while completing four 
passes for 49 yards. The final pass went 
two yards to Sophomore end John Olson 
in the end zone. Mennell's kick was blocked 
and Princeton led, 28-20. 

Two plays later it was 35-20. as Lan- 
deck completed a 69-yard scoring pass. 
Brown fought back and started the final 
period by moving to the Princeton 15, 
mainly on a 50-yard pass and run play 
from Hall to John Hutchinson, a play on 
which Hutch almost went all the way. 
However, an interception halted this drive. 

Midway through the period Princeton 
finally put the game beyond reach with 
another touchdown set up by the brilliant 
Landeck. Still, Brown wasn't through. Jol- 
lin came up with his third interception of 
the game at the Princeton 41, and the 
Bears had their final touchdown eight 



plays later. Hall contributed 39 of the 
41 yards, running for 28 and passing for 
II, with the payoflf coming on a one-yard 
toss to Sophomore Dick Filak. A 44-yard 
field goal by Gogolak with 15 seconds to 
play seemed an anti-climax to the fans, 
most of whom left talking of the exploits 
of Hall and Landeck. 

All together. Brown's four touchdown 
drives covered a total of 246 yards. Of 
this amount, Hall personally accounted for 
234 yards — 95 rushing, 113 passing, and 
26 on a kickoff return. The man earned 
his letter. 

Although Hall has to be credited with 
putting on a one-man show, Coach Mc- 
Laughry was pleased with several other 
aspects of the Bruins' play against Prince- 
ton. "I thought the team made the most 
of its capabilities and played a real fine 
game," he said. "Aside from their first two 
quick scores, one of which resulted from 
a misjudgment on an attempt to intercept 
a pass and the other from a blocked kick, 
our boys played them even all afternoon." 

The Bruin coach also noted the excellent 
blocking given Hall on his rollouts, par- 
ticularly by the fullbacks and tackles. The 
key men here were Alan Miller, Mark 
Seliga, Pete Thorbahn, and Jack Fowler, 
along with guard Neill Anderson. Defen- 
sively, McLaughry singled out ends Stranko 
and Adamiak, tackle Yablonski, hneback- 
ers Zerngast, Whidden, and Batty, middle 
guard Blocher, and safetyman Jollin. 

Princeton led in first downs, 25-16, and 
in rushing, 268-119. Brown had the edge 
through the air, 257-201. Carr caught 
eight of Hall's passes, while O'Toole had 
five receptions, Hutchinson three, and Ol- 
son and Filak two each. 

The Longest Punts 

Joe Randall, Junior punting star from 
Yorkville, N. Y., is re-writing the Brown 
record book in his specialty this fall. In 
the opener against URI, he booted the 
ball 82 yards from the line of scrimmage, 
surpassing the old mark of 78 yards set 
by Line Fogarty against Yale in 1930. 
Then in the Yale game, Randall was cred- 
ited with a 76-yard kick, the third longest 
in Brown history. Actually, both kicks 
traveled over 100 yards from point of 
toe to the spot beyond the end zone where 
they stopped. Helping Randall somewhat 
is the fact that the colleges this year finally 
went to the more sensible professional rule 
and no longer deduct 20 yards from the 
recorded distance of punts that go into the 
end zone. 

Strangely, the fourth longest punt by a 
Brown player was by another Randall — 
Red Randall of Iron Men fame. He got 
off a 74-yarder against Lebanon Valley in 
1927. Other lengthy boots by Bruins are as 
follows: 69, Roy Swingler vs Dartmouth, 
1947; 67, Perry Elrod vs B.U., 1934; 67, 
Joe Randall vs Yale 1964; 65, Ernie Savig- 
nano vs Lafayette, 1941; 65, Bob Mac- 
Connell vs Holy Cross, 1950: 64, Jack 
Cokefair vs Yale, 1943: 63, Ralph Gor- 
don vs Carlisle, 1914: 62, Preston Barry 
vs Canisius, 1946; 61, Larry Atwell vs 
URI, 1938; 60, Harry Josephson vs Tem- 
ple, 1954.

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



Soccer: Bidding 
for an Ivy crown 



THE MOST SUCCESSFUL of the fall sports 
through the first half of the season 
was soccer, with both the Varsity and 
Freshman teams showing perfect slates. 
The Bruins defeated Akron, 3-0, Wesleyan, 
4-1. Penn, 3-2, Yale, 3-2, Dartmouth, 1-0, 
URI. 11-0. and UConn, 3-1. The Cubs won 
from Springfield, 1-0, Yale, 5-0, Bridge- 
port, 4-2. M.I.T., 10-2. and URI. 8-2. 

Coach Cliff Stevenson's prediction that 
his Varsity would be a high-scoring team 
was accurate, with the Bears averaging 
four goals a game. However, his concern 
about the defense appeared to be unwar- 
ranted through the early going. Thanks 
to Senior fullbacks John Krupski and 
Frank Forsherg. center halfback Tom 
Niederer, and Junior goalie Dave Chi- 
chester, the defense had been surprisingly 
strong, yielding an average of less than a 
goal a game. 

The toughest game over the first half of 
the season was at Pennsylvania. With 1:48 
left, the score was 2-2. Then Senior wing 
Bo Wernersbach moved in when Penn 
failed to clear, stole the ball, and drove 
it home. Sophomores figured in Brown's 
first two goals, with center forward Mark 
DeTora scoring from in close and left 
wing Vic DeJong setting up a perfect 
corner kick which Krupski headed into the 
cage. 

The Bruins took a 3-0 lead into the final 
period of the Yale game on goals by Phil 
Maguire, Jesse Jupiter, and Vic Emerson 
and then held off a furious closing drive 
by the Elis. A crowd of close to 2,000 saw 
the game. 

A year ago, Dartmouth defeated Brown 
at Hanover and eventually tied the Bruins 
for the Ivy title. A Homecoming crowd 
of more than 3,000 persons came out to 
Aldrich Dexter to see the rematch, and they 
saw a fine soccer game. At 8:25 of the 
opening period, DeTora converted a re- 
bound of a shot by Frank Golet and that 
closed the scoring for the day. But not the 
excitement. Chichester came up with sev- 
eral brilliant saves, including one late in 
the game as the Indians put on the pres- 
sure. 

A year ago, one of Brown's three de- 
feats came at the hands of the University 
of Connecticut. Before another large crowd 
at Aldrich-Dexter, it looked for a while 
as though the Huskies might do it again. 
When the visitors jumped into a 1-0 lead 
early in the second period it marked the 
first time during the season that Brown 
had trailed. Brown countered quickly, 
scoring on a beautiful pass across the cage 
from DeTora to Golet. What proved to 
be the winning goal came in the third 
period on a head-in by Krupski off' a 
corner kick by DeJong. Golet set up Wer- 
nersbach for the final score of the game. 

DeTora, high scorer on last year's un- 



defeated Freshman team, paced the Bruins 
with nine goals in the first seven games. 
He was followed by Knipski with five. 
Wernersbach with three, and DeJong. Go- 
let, Jupiter, and Maguire with two. 

The Cubs were extended only twice in 
gaining their first five victories — by Spring- 
field in the opener and then by a good 
Bridgeport team. Denis Colacicco and 
Richard Biehl paced the scorers with six 
goals each and George Gerdts had four. 
Colacicco, an inside halfback, comes from 
Staples High in Westport, where he was 
considered one of the best players in the 
area. Biehl, a second-team All-New Jer- 
sey choice from Chatham H.S.. scored 
three goals against the Army plebes a 
year ago. Gerdts, from River'dell, N. J., 
was a third-team All-State selection. 
Among the other players who have im- 
pressed are Bill Bergantz from Nichols 
School in Buffalo, where his teams had a 
30-1 record; Larry Morin, son of Dr. 
Lawrence J. Morin '42 of Hanover, N. H.; 
and goalie William Hager. 

Visitors from the Argentine 

The Varsity soccer team "lost" one 
game this season that won't go on the 
records. On Oct. 18 the touring Univer- 
sity of Buenos Aires All-Stars handed 
Coach Cliff Stevenson's hooters a 5-2 
setback at .Aldrich-Dexter Field. The game 
was played under the auspices of the Peo- 
ple-to-People project. 

The Buenos Aires team had an all-star 
cast in the true sense of the word, with 
the squad composed of students 22 to 27 
years of age, some of them graduate stu- 
dents; two of whom were members of the 
1964 Olympic team and three others who 
are professional soccer players. For the 
first half, while the Brown regulars were 
in action, the game was a 1-1 standoff. 



"He's Been Too Busy" 

The Alumni Monthly came out 
the other day and told the Brown 
crew something about their coach. 
It seems that Vic Michalson, in his 
fourth year as Brown's crew mentor, 
was named Spring Coach of the 
Year by Coach ami Allilete Maga- 
zine. 

Normally, a team knows when its 
coach gets an award. But Michal- 
son, typically disinterested in per- 
sonal glory, never bothered to tell 
the crew about his recent prize. He's 
been too busy getting ready for the 
spring season.

In the second half. Coach Stevenson emp- 
tied his bench, and the substitutes were 
not good enough to hold the talented vis- 
itors. 

The Argentinians spent the night on the 
Campus in fraternities and dormitories and 
attended several classes. The visitors ex- 
changed gifts with the Bruins and also 
took a tour of Providence. Dick Reynolds 
'31, Schoolboy Sports Editor of the Prov- 
idence Journal-Bulletin and Chairman of 
the Rhode Island People-to-People Com- 
mittee, presented medals to the boys. Each 
member of the team also received a Brown 
Bear tie clasp from the Brown squad, pro- 
vided by Manuel Gorriaran. Helping to 
make the stay of the Argentinians more 
pleasant was the fact that Vic DeJong, 
Brown's outside left, speaks three lan- 
guages — including Spanish. 

Alumni and Soccer 

The SIXTH annual Alumni-Freshman 
soccer game at Aldrich-Dexter Field on 
Homecoming morning was a beauty. Usu- 
ally the old grads huff and puff their 
way through these engagements, watching 
their blood pressure and anxiously await- 
ing the final whistle. Not so this year. 
Alan Young '64, former All-Ivy soccer 
star and Brown's all-time scoring leader 
who is back on the Hill as a graduate stu- 
dent, put together a fearsome combo that 
nearly upset the applecart before bowing 
to the undefeated Cubs. 2-1. 

The Alumni team consisted of the fol- 
lowing: Jack Andrews '43, Barrie Phelps 
'58, Bruce Yeutter '57, Ken Chambers '55, 
Dave Bullock '55, John Roe '57, Denny 
Master '61, John McMahon '63, Garry 
Singsen '64, Bill Hooks '65, John Mon- 
aghan '55. Bob Dolt '51. Dick Ramsden 
'59. and Young. Master, first team All-Ivy 
goalie in 1960. played a sensational game, 
turning back a number of difficult shots. 
Roe, who is an attorney in Bellport, L. I., 
scored the goal for the old timers. 

Coach Cliff Stevenson announced this 
fall the formation of the Brown Soccer 
Association, a group whose objective will 
be to further the development and interest 
in the soccer program at Brown. Member- 
ship is open to all former Bruin soccer 
players and friends of soccer. The officers 
include: President — Eben S. Church, Jr., 
'40; Vice-President — Bruce D. Yeutter '57 
and G. Kenneth Chambers "55: Secretary- 
Treasurer — John D. Master '61. 

The Cross Country Season 

WITH FOUR MEETS Completed and one 
to go. Coach Ivan Fuqua's cross coun- 
try team had a 3-2 record. In dual meet 
competition, the Bruins defeated Yale 
and Dartmouth by identical 17-42 scores 
and lost to Harvard, 34-23. In a triangu- 
lar meet. Brown scored 39 points to 21 
for Providence and 75 for URI. Brown ran 
its victory string over Y'ale and Dartmouth 
to six and nine, respectively. 

If it hadn't been for the unexpected loss 
of Senior Pat O'Donnell and Junior Jim 
Watt, Coach Fuqua felt that Brown might 
have had an undefeated season. "These 
men. outstanding runners, would have 
complemented Capl. Bill Kinsella and

given our Sophomore-dominated squad 
just the right balance." the Bruin coach 
said. "They definitely would have made 
the difference against Harvard and Prov- 
idence." Both boys elected not to run this 
fall. 

Fortunately, Coach Fuqua did have 
available some promising Sophomores up 
from his 5-1 Cub team of 1964, a group 
that finished second in the New Englands. 
Included were Chip Ennis, George Bow- 
man. John Cobourn. Jim Wich. and Bob 
Busick. Captain Kinsella finished first 
against Yale and Dartmouth, second 
against Harvard, and fourth in the P.C. 
meet. Trailing him closely in each meet 
was Ennis, a 4:24 miler from Kingston 
High School in New York State, and 
Wich. 

Adding to Fuqua's worries this fall was 
the fact that Busick and Bowman missed 
much of the early going with injuries. 
The former is a 4:24 miler out of Sewan- 
haka High. Elmont. N. Y., while the latter 
was New England champ two years ago 
when running for Mt. Hermon School. 

The Freshman team moved through its 
first four meets undefeated, with only a 
strong Fordham team standing in its way 
of a perfect season. The Cubs defeated 
Yale. 20-41. Harvard, 23-32. Dartmouth. 
16-42. and Providence and URI. 18-56-57. 

Don Armour, a 4:31 miler from Ber- 
gen Catholic High. Oradel, N. J., was the 
leading Cub runner, finishing first in three 
of the four meets. At P.C, he took a full 
30 seconds ofl' the old course record. His 
supporting cast this fall includes Chuck 



Mason out of Princeton High in Cincin- 
nati, Don Humphrey from Needham, 
Mass., and Tilton Academy, Ted Sinicki 
of Irvington, N. J., and Reg Marden of 
Peabody, Mass. 

Armour, Mason, and Marden all served 
as Captains of their high school teams. 
Two alumni deserve a special pat on the 
back for helping to put this Freshman 
team together. Eugene M. Kay, Jr., '59 
of Cincinnati persuaded Mason to come 
to Brown, while Charles J. Brown '27 of 
Boston influenced the decision of Hum- 
phrey. 

Cub record 
is deceptive 

THE Freshman team lost its first three 
football games to Boston University, 
18-7, Yale, 33-8, and Dartmouth, 14-8. 
The fourth game, at Boston College, was 
cancelled because of wet grounds, and the 
Cubs combined with the Jayvees (each 
playing one half) to defeat the New York 
University Football Club, 49-0. 

The opening game with B.U. was played 
in a heavy rain storm at Nickerson Field. 
A two-yard dive by John Rallis of War- 
wick and a conversion by John McMahon 
of Cleveland gave the Cubs a 7-6 half- 
time lead, but the young Terriers picked 
off two passes and converted them into 
late game scores. 

Brown started strong against a highly- 
rated Yale team, marching 80 yards with 
the opening kickotf to the Yale 10. Then 
disaster struck when Bob Sokolowski, 
burly Blue linebacker, picked off a Gene 
DuBay pass and rambled 98 yards for a 
touchdown. The Cubs picked up a second- 
period safety and then a touchdown on a 
DuBay sneak to lead at half time, 8-6. 
However, Sokolowski returned the second- 
half kickoff 69 yards for a touchdown, 
setting the tone for the final 30 minutes of 
action. 

Against Dartmouth. Coach Bob Litch- 
ard's men won everything but the ball 
game. The Cubs led in first downs. 23-6. 
in rushing. 244-106, in passing. 105-46, 
and in total offense, 349-152. But Dart- 
mouth had 14 points and Brown had eight. 

After the Indians took a 14-0 half time 
lead, the Cubs completely dominated the 
final two periods, limiting the visitors to 
1 5 plays on offense. Halfback Dick Cic- 
colella and fullback Dick Krafchin ran 
well, while quarterback McMahon ex- 
celled both with his running and pin-point 
passing. Brown's score came on a seven- 
yard McMahon-to-Greg Kontos pass, with 
the two teaming up again for the con- 
version. 

Coach Litchard's squad was big, by 
Brown's standards, with some 65 men out 
for the sport. Other individuals who 
looked good early in the year included 
Mike Elsberry, a spirited defensive back 
from Atlanta, James Culbreth, a tackle 
from the same city, ends Tom Lemire and 
Bill Linehan, and Rallis, a fine defensive 
player and a good passer. 



Sports Shorts 

Brown's sailors scored 49 points on 
Lake Mascoma, N. H., Oct. 10 in 
winning the 32nd Pentagonal Regatta for 
the Jack Wood Trophy. Defending cham- 
pion M.I.T. was second with 48 points, 
trailed by Coast Guard, Dartmouth, and 
Harvard. Bert Goff '67 and Chuck Paine 
'66 paced the Bruins, each scoring 16 
points. Other Brown skippers were Jerry 
Hausman '68 and Bill Diman '66. The 
races were sailed in Jet 14s. 

The same day, the Freshman skippers 
were at home defeating eight other col- 
leges in a regatta on the Seekonk. The 
Cubs had 64 points, trailed by Coast 
Guard (55), Harvard (54), Holy Cross 
(44), Yale (44), Tufts (40), M.I.T. (36), 
URI (36), and Amherst (27). Sailing for 
Brown were Vern Mountcastle, Terry Mc- 
Guire, Lodge McGee. Dave Schwartz, 
Scott Stokes. Bob Applegate, and Joe Ko- 
walski. Brown took five of eight races in 
Beverly dinghies. 

Lou Pieri '20, the man who brought bas- 
ketball back to Brown in 1919 and former 
owner of the World Champion Boston 
Celtics, invited the Brown basketball team 
to his Pawtucket home for a cook-out in 
October. In addition to the members of 
the team, others on hand were Coach 
Stan Ward, Freshman Coach Alan Young, 
Alumni Secretary Paul Mackesey, Associ- 
ate Alumni Secretary Jim Gorham, Direc- 
tor of Sports Information Pete McCarthy, 
R. I. Brown Club President Ed Bromage, 
Jay Barry of this magazine, and Harold 
Rich of the Providence Jounuil-Bidletin. 
Helping to cook the steaks and pour the 
cider was Jack Martin "51, Lou's son-in- 
law. 

Flo Harvey, New England's finest bas- 
ketball player during the first quarter of 
this century and coach at Brown during 
the 1920-21 season, was honored in New- 
port this fall by his many friends and 
admirers. Flo, who is a candidate for bas- 
ketball's Hall of Fame, was a prolific 
scorer in a game that was basically defen- 
sive. In his year as coach on the Hill, the 
Bruins posted a 5-9 record, including a 
42-23 decision over Harvard. 

When Yale defeated Brown, 3-0, on 
a second half field goal this fall, the cir- 
cumstances reminded some of the old 
grads of the game at New Haven exactly 
50 years ago. For one thing, the score was 
the same, 3-0, except that Brown was the 
victor in 1915. In both cases, the field 
goals came late in the game after the 
teams had battled through scoreless first 
halves. The distance of the kicks was al- 
most identical, with Capt, Buzz Andrews 
booting the ball 22 yards in 1915 and 
Sophomore Dan Begel getting off a 23- 
yarder. And in both cases, the men in- 
volved were kicking their first Varsity field 
goals. 

There were only two areas in which the 
circumstances were different. In 1915, 
Captain Andrews used a drop kick for his 
three-pointer, while Begel made the con- 
ventional placement kick. Also, while 
Brown's victory helped the Bruins get a

Al Kelley, football coach on the Hill 
from 1951 to 1958 and currently head 
coach at Hobart College, suffered a heart

N. Y. 

Marty Feller, son of former Cleveland 
Indians pitching star. Bob Feller, is a 
Freshman on the Hill. While at Hawken 
School in Cleveland. Marty played base-

dent of the Players' Society. At Brown, he 
intends to concentrate on baseball as his 
one sport. His dad was a spectator at the 
Brown-Colgate game on Parents' Day, 
viewing the action from the press box. 

When Cliff Stevenson was a youngster 



of about 12 growing up in Pawtucket, he 
spent as much time as possible hanging 
around the city's semi-pro soccer team 
coached by Bob Butler. "He'd be there 
for almost every practice," Butler said. 
"Once he asked me for a ball, and I gave 
him one." Butler has been soccer coach at 
the University of Rhode Island since that 
school took up the sport three years ago. 
while Stevenson is in his seventh season at 
Brown. Despite efforts by its coach to keep 
the score down. Brown has bombed URI 
badly the past two years, winning by 
scores of 14-0 and 11-0. Butler probably 
wonders whatever possessed him to give 
that kid a ball. 

Pete McCarthy, Brown's Director of 
Sports Information, is serving as Chair-

President of the Eastern College Athletic

WINTER 
PROSPECTS 



The hockey and basketball squads 
started working out Nov. 1, the former 
with high hopes for another successful cam- 
paign and the latter simply with hope for 
some improvement over the last two sea- 
sons. 

Last year was one of Brown's best on 
the ice, as the Bears posted a 19-6 record, 
won the Ivy title, placed second in the 
Eastern playoffs, and earned a spot in 
the NCAA finals. Coach Jim Fullerton, 
Coach of the Year in 1965, greeted 28 
candidates as he prepared for his 11th 
season on the Hill. 

Heading the list of nine lettermen re- 
turning were Capt. Bruce Darling, two- 
time Ivy scoring champ, and Bob Gaud- 
reau, two-time All-Ivy and AU-American 
defenseman. Others returning included 
Senior goalie Dave Ferguson and Junior 
center Dennis Macks, who could become 
one of the East's finest players. Wayne 
Small, leading Cub scorer, is the man 
Coach Fullerton hopes will replace the 
high-scoring Terry Chapman. 

Brown should be able to field three 
strong lines. However, a problem may 
exist at defense where Fullerton will have 
to find a fourth man to team with Gaud- 
reau. Ken Neal. and Gerry Boyle. All 
things considered, the Bears should be 
just about as strong as last year. The 
chief competition in the Ivy League will 
come from Cornell. 

Some Setbacks for Ward 

On the basketball front. Coach Stan 
Ward is not nearly as fortunate in the ma- 
terial at his disposal. Here. Brown simply 
does not have the material to be a factor 
in the highly competitive Ivy basketball 
league. 

On hand to help Ward start his 12th 
year on the Hill were 12 candidates, led 
by Capt. Don Tarr, at 6-5 the smallest 
center in the league. Other returning letter- 
men include Senior guard Steve Kadison, 
Junior forward Dave Gale, and Junior 
guards Al Fishman and Mike Fahey. The 
leading Sophomores are Steve Sigur, Greg 
Donaldson, and Rick Landau. 

However, the two most promising sec- 
ond-year men. Bill Reynolds and Rod 
Gillmor, are ineligible the first semester. 
Both would have been starters. Reynolds 
having the potential to be one of Brown's 
most prolific scorers. Gale also was a ques- 
tion mark due to a soreness in his right 
elbow. Should he be forced to bow out. 
Ward would be without 60% of his "start- 
ing" team before the season began. 

Fishman, a shifty 5-8 floor general, is 
a fine basketball player. Sigur. a 6-6 center 
from Atlanta, appeared to have the po- 
tential and desire to become a good one 
in the near future. But the basketball buffs 
among the alumni may have to wait at 
least another year before the picture starts 
to brighten.

For a Brown Man's Bookshelf 



EDITED BY ELMER M. BLISTEIN '42 



EDITH WHARTON AND HENRY 
JAMES: The Story of Their Friendship. 
By Millicent Bell. 384 pages. George 
Braziller. $6.50. 

Distortion and half-truth have long 
passed for fact in accounts of Edith 
Wharton's personal and literary relation- 
ship to Henry James. If the documents of 
the "personal relation" (the subject of the 
first half of Millicent Bell's impressive 
book) have never before been adequately 
investigated, the "literary relation" (the 
second half) has long been entwined in 
what Mrs. Bell recognizes as the simplistic 
assumption of a master-disciple relation- 
ship. 

In the "curious mixture of personal and 
literary hostility [that] enveloped the repu- 
tations of both Henry James and Edith 
Wharton," warns Dr. Bell, "there was a 
certain confusion in an argument which 
explained both James's difficult and un- 
popular final phase and the meretriciously 
"readable' novels of the successful Mrs. 
Wharton by means of the same cause." 

It is perfectly clear that too many critics 
have had it both ways. For, in avoiding 
what many have called James's "vices," 
Mrs. Wharton had in effect rejected what 
others had felt was the master's legacy; 
"but it was enough for the critics to de- 
cide that expatriation and the wrong choice 
of materials had somehow blighted the 
talents of each." 

Of course their relationship as novelists 
was somewhat more complex. Edith Whar- 
ton's bent in both subject and treatment 
was in many ways the reverse of James's. 
While it can be said that in the large 
thrust of his career James moved toward 
the form and values of an intensive, cen- 
tralizing consciousness, Edith Wharton, 
with some notable exceptions, moved ever 
closer to the broad but detailed rendering 
of the American society she had directly 
experienced. 

Ultimately she chose the chronicle 
novel (for which late James had little 
affection and no use) over what has 
proven to be for the last 25 years the far 
more "acceptable" Jamesian novel. Her 
choice was allied to her predominant desire 
"to trace the growth of new social con- 
figurations." 

The consequence is that The Reef (Mrs. 
Bell calls it a "Jamesian masterpiece") is 
less characteristic of her work overall than 
The Custom of the Country, which fol- 
lowed it. And although James did praise 
the latter work, it was of course The Reef 
that elicited from him the warmest praise 
he awarded any Wharton novel. 

Following the lead of a few earlier 
critics, notably Edmund Wilson, Mrs. Bell 
insists correctly, then, that Edith Wharton's 
significant talent and esthetic inclination 
lay in a direction different from that of 



James, especially that of his "major phase." 
It is clear that she does find James un- 
questionably the greater writer of the two. 
But there is in her judgment no diminu- 
tion of skill or, ultimately, of quality in 
Edith Wharton's best work after The Reef. 

With The Custom of the Country (1913) 
she continued to exploit successfully the 
form explored in The House of Mirth, the 
"loose but vigorous chronicle of a woman's 
career." Summer (1917), urges Mrs. Bell, 
is "an Ethan Frome made more coherent 
in tone, more moving emotionally, because 
it eliminates the awkward presence of a 
Jamesian fine intelligence to register a tale 
of primitive passion in the New England 
hills" (my emphasis). What Mrs. Bell in- 
sists, then, is that Edith Wharton be 
judged on her own terms, not those of 
James. 

Edith Wharton and Henry James merits 
high praise. The "personal relation," in 
particular, is handled superbly. Drawing 
extensively upon the late Percy Lubbock's 
transcripts of James's letters to Edith 
Wharton, Mrs. Bell eagerly allows James 
to speak for himself, sometimes in entire 
letters. This device, used to best advantage, 
conveys the immediacy of the historical 
moment; when the prose is James's own, 
even the most skillful paraphrase sub- 
stitutes poorly. 

Moreover, although the letters serve to 
document the uniqueness of this relation- 
ship, it is Mrs. Bell's astute juxtaposition 
of James's letters that increases our aware- 
ness of James's invariable doubleness 
(bordering on duplicity at times) in judg- 
ing friend, relative, and foe. 

Very few of James's thousands of per- 
sonal letters are candid in any simple way. 
None is direct. His friendship with Edith 
Wharton offers a characteristic example. 
If he sometimes referred to her as "a 
golden eagle," more often he called her 
"the angel of devastation," varying his tone 
for the occasion. 

But James's emotional norm in such 
matters can be sensed in a short excerpt 
from a letter to Gaillard Lapsley, a mutual 
friend: "The Angel of Devastation has 
become a mere agitating memory, but 
nothing could have exceeded the commo- 
tion and exhaustion produced by her actual 
prolonged stay. Devoted as I am to her, 
I feel even as one of those infants of 
literary allusion whom their mothers trust 
to terror by pronouncing the name of the 
great historic ravagers of their country, 
Bonaparte, or Attila, or Tamurlane." 

Millicent Bell has done something quite 
remarkable: she has written a basic book 
of original research that in its own right 
has the literary virtues of significant shape 
and style. She has read judiciously in the 
published and, more importantly in this 
case, the unpublished sources. She has ab- 
sorbed the details that tell and discovered 



the connections that have meaning; and 
in a vigorous, polished style she has con- 
verted her research into a work of high 
order. If Edith Wharton ami Henry James 
is not "a Jamesian 'novel' as fascinating as 
any to be found in the Master's own 
canon" (reluctantly proclaimed by the 
publisher), it is of its kind — especially the 
first 2 1 1 pages — nearly that good.

A BLAKE DICTIONARY: The Ideas and 
Symbols of William Blake. By S. Foster 
Damon. 460 pages, plus 12 pages of 
illustrations by Blake and maps. Brown 
University Press. $15. 

Prof. S. Foster Damon's modestly titled 
A Blake Dictionary is actually so monu- 
mental that it will be the Blake dictionary 
at least until the close of this century. 
Blake scholarship is already much in 
Damon's debt for what is still the most 
seminal of Blake studies, William Blake, 
His Philosophy and Symbols, 1924, but 
now and henceforth what Blake scholars 
owe him is practically immeasurable. 

At least 45 years of intensive study — 
mainly his own, but also encompassing the 
best thinking of others — have been con- 
centrated into this Dictionary. Therefore, 
it is neither extravagant nor exaggerated 
to claim that this is the most important 
and useful American work on Blake in the 
now rather large field of Blake scholarship. 
And I am tempted to strike out American. 

Obviously only Blake scholars will be 
sufficiently appreciative of this work. But 
even the layman somewhat familiar with 
Blake's prolific creativity and daring 
originality that make him a pioneer of 
20th century thought — he anticipated 
Freud, Jung, Heidegger, Jaspers, the later 
Whitehead, in some respects Einstein, and 
many others, some still to be known or 
even born — will be impressed by the 
magnitude of Damon's achievement. 

By way of comparison, it has taken 
eight years to date for a team of eight 
Blake scholars and an IBM machine to 
compile a Blake Concordance, yet to be 
published. It took Samuel Johnson eight 
years to complete his comparatively simple 
Dictionary of the English language, a much 
less objective work, incidentally, than 
Damon's. And yet Damon single-handedly, 
without the help of a concordance, actually 
writing on paper for about 10 years, has 
beautifully ordered an immense amount of 
detailed material into terse units of defini- 
tions or explanations. 

The entries'? Seemingly infinite. If they 
have to do with Blake, they are there. A 
partial listing from the A's and B's should 
give the idea: Abstraction. Allegory. Anti- 
christ, Aristotle, the Ark of the Covenant, 
Arthur, Atlas, Baal, Babylon, Bacon. Bard, 
Bath, Beryl, Beth Rabbim ("Blake's mis- 
print for Bath-rabbim. . . . Song of Sol

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 




S. FOSTER DAMON: Our reviewer calls his 

"Blake Dictionary" monumental. The portrait at 

right is from the earlier Brown University Press 

work by Damon— "Blake's Grave." 

vii:4. . . . y[erusalem] 31:25"), Beulah, 
the Bible, Blair, Boadicea, Bognor, Boston, 
Bowels, Bowen, Bowlahoola, Broad Street, 
Bromion, Brutus, Bulls of Luvah, Bunyan's 
Pilgrim's Progress, and Byron. 

Furthermore every written work of 
Blake is summarized or interpreted. The 
treatment of his art work as such is not as 
complete, nor are Blake's critical theories 
on painting and poetry sufficiently ex- 
pounded upon. As Damon points out, they 
are deserving of hooks in themselves. The 
inadequacies in handling the art work, 
however, are compensated for by the 
highly detailed account of the pictures of 
A Vision of the Last Judgment and Her- 
veys Meditations Among the Tombs. 

How astonishingly well-documented 
Damon's definitions are can he accurately 
appraised only when the Concordance or 
another Damon appears, but this reader at 
least is nearly dumfounded with admira- 
tion for their fullness. Also, as Damon puts 
it, "I have at least laid out material for 
future scholars," with a wealth of refer- 
ences yet to be explained. It seems in- 
conceivable that any one man could have 
done this work; yet Damon has done it, 
the impossible. 

Of course, not all scholars will agree 
with all of Damon's readings, and so much 
the better for Damon and for Blake. The 
freezing of symbols into dogmatic allegory 
would be the Abomination of Desolation. 
Varying meanings of single concepts — e.g. 
Hell, or gold and silver — are found by 
common sense to depend on their context 
and the perception of the reader. 

"Blake cannot be contained in any dic- 
tionary" says its author. The danger is that 
some may think so. Another and reverse 
danger is that some will argue that there 
should be no dictionary at all. But these 
critics forget that more than the end of 
the golden string is needed to roll into a 
ball, to grasp or assimilate thoughtfully, 
"the new truths about the human soul" 
given us by "the Columbus of the psyche." 




Opposition of the true friendship variety 
will arise (I write this before reviews have 
appeared), for example, regarding Damon's 
identification of the Cathedral Cities with 
English poets and other luminaries asso- 
ciated with these characterized cities. 

Oxford is linked with Shelley, to give 
only one of 27 examples, on the grounds of 
his expulsion from Oxford as an active 
atheist and anticleric, coupled with his role 
in Jerusalem as the Bard of Oxford who 
tried to give the "leaves of the Tree of 
Life" (obvious reference to his "Ode to 
the West Wind") to heal mankind, only to 
fail and faint (i.e. die). Since the present 
terminal date of Jerusalem as 1820 is not 
absolute, the Bath plates could have been 
inserted in the year of Shelley's death, 
1822. Damon is aware of the possible 
scholarly identification of Oxford with Ed- 
ward G. Marsh of Oriel College but feels 
that, since all the lines regarding the 
Oxford bard fit Shelley, he is more deserv- 
ing of tribute than is the forgotten Marsh. 

As questionable as this kind of emotional 



Snj/rjvfi^ £>vJi. St/tiavopsHiVA, 



logic may be here, Damon's earlier book 
on Blake has shown him to be more right 
than wrong over the past 40-odd years. He 
remains a formidable opponent. 

The layman is obviously not particularly 
interested in such specialized dispute. Still, 
he might well find the Dictionary practi- 
cally readable for its choice informative 
tidbits: the difterentiation between symbol- 
ism and allegory; the declaration of incest 
as "the outstanding vice in romantic 
literature" — a subject "continued by the 
next generation, producing Poe's perfect 
symbol, The Fall of the House of Usher 
(1839), Melville's extraordinary analysis, 
Pierre (1852), and Hawthorne's Marble 
Faun (1860) . . ."; the explanation of 
Michelangelo's symbolism in the Sistine 
Chapel; and the observation that "Never 
Pain to Tell Thy Love" could be the sketch 
for Tennessee Williams' Summer and 
Smoke. Such are a few random samplings 
of the hors d'oeuvres. 

One should not have to be urged to buy 
a masterpiece, but this very well-made

THE POETRY OF THE AENEID. By 

Michael C. J. Putnam. 238 pages. Har- 
vard University Press. $5.25. 

Though it treats specifically and in de- 
tail only four books of Virgil's epic, this 
is the most thorough-going discussion any- 
one has written of this poet in terms of 
pattern, image, and symbol. This type of 
"new" criticism has not. indeed, been 
widely applied to the poets of Greece and 
Rome (C. H. Whitman's Homer and the 
Heroic Tradition is a distinguished excep- 
tion), but Professor Putnam hopes to find, 
and does indeed find Virgil freshly and 
sometimes very subtly rewarding in the 
light of the "new" (he does not use this 
term ) critical methodology. 

Since his aim is the ambitious one of 
discovering "Virgil's imagination in the act 
of creation," Dr. Putnam may be pardoned 
for looking with some disfavor on those 
analyses of the poet which depend upon 
"numerical or even tonal balances within 
individual books" of the Aeneid. His book 
does indeed consist of "four studies" in 
each of which he plunges "in niedias res" 
(e.g. "For the most part. Book V is not 
one of the more powerful or dramatic sec- 
tions of the Aeneid"). But it is always 
clear that he has the whole epic clearly in 
mind and does not let any metaphysical 
perceptions of the microcosm so bemuse 
him as to forget the macrocosm; here the 
symbolic approach is of course invaluable 
to him. 

The books treated are II, V. VIII. and 
XII. Why these? The critic does not very 
specifically say. though he does say of IV 
and VI that they might seem offhand to 
offer better support for his views; however, 
"they have been the most frequently 
treated parts of the Aeneid." (This is 
doubtless, though Professor Putnam does 
not say so, nor need he. because I, II. IV. 
and VI are too often all that the student 
reads — a situation which Rolfe Humphries 
once remarked "is like looking at se- 
lected portions of the Venus of Milo.") 

Virgil, of course, was far from thinking 
the later books of his epic inferior. Quite 
the reverse; and this is only one of the 
reasons why we should welcome the 
present discussion. It breaks new ground 
not only in insistence on the search for 
imaginative (as opposed to literal or calcu- 
lated or what the critic rather severely 
calls "numerical" unity), but in the choice 
of evidences from the less familiar and 
perhaps less expected areas of the epic. 

Many 19th-century critics were (or 
seemed) anxious mainlv to show the 



borrowings or subtler imitations of other 
poets in Virgil. Putnam, though fully 
aware of all this (cf. his careful and useful 
index of passages discussed, Virgilian or 
other), is more wisely intent upon Virgil's 
original treatment of what he took. At this 
point the book may be considered as at 
least implying a considerable degree of 
revolt against the old critical idea (even 
Horace probably over-stated it) of the 
derivative nature of Roman literature. 

One word more. The reliance of much 
of the "new" criticism upon symbolism has 
brought it under the reproach of being 
"far-fetched." The final answer to this 
complaint was pronounced long ago by a 
very "old" critic, Samuel Johnson, who 
pointed out that the question is not 
whether something is far-fetched, but 
whether it is "worth the carriage." Luckily 
Dr. Putnam is aware of this. He does not 
forget it. and. where his suggestions are 
often modestly put and some of his con- 
clusions tentative, the fact tends only to 
make them more persuasive. 

Like all good Virgilian criticism, though 
it is not for babes, this book sends one 
back to the poet. Notes and index are 
excellent, as is the typography. The book 
will be distributed in England by Oxford 
University Press.

AN exhibition of the Nicholson Whaling 
. Collection was scheduled by Trustees 
of the Providence Public Library on Oct. 
19 to coincide with the publication by the 
Library of a book entitled The Voice of 
the Whaleman. The author is the Librar- 
ian. Stuart C. Sherman '39. long a stu- 
dent of whaling and a writer in the field 
whose authority is well established. 

James Woodress has edited and Duke 
University Press has published American 
Literary Scholarship, An Annual / 1963. 
More than a catalogue raisonnc, the vol- 
ume evaluates and describes 1963's schol- 
arship in American Literature. The words. 
"An Annual," in the title imply that fur- 
ther volumes will be forthcoming. They 
will be welcome. Prof. Hyatt H. Waggoner 
of the English Department, one of the 
17 contributors, discusses the year's schol- 
arly work on Hawthorne. 

Books from the Brown University Press 
went on display last summer in Mexico 
City when the Interamerican Scholarly 
Book Center (CILA) was opened. CILA 
is a major project of the Association of 
American University Presses, of which 
Brown's is a member. Among the books 
with a Brown imprint which were dis- 
played were: The Legend of the Waiuler- 
ing Jew by Prof. George K. Anderson, 
Patterns of Market Behavior, edited by 
Prof. Matthew J. Brennan, and A Blake 
Dictionary by Prof. S. Foster Damon. 

The Brown University Slavic Reprint 
Series is designed to make available works 
of outstanding merit which have been out 



of print. The third item in the series ap- \ 
peared recently: the full version in Russian 
of Leontiev's essay (Moscow. 1912) on 
Tolstoy's novels. Included are an essay on 
Leontiev by Vasily Rozanov and an intro- 
ductory piece by Prof. Donald Fanger of 
Brown. The Brown University Press offers 
the 158-page paperback at $3. 

Professor Fanger was similarly respon- 
sible for the two previous issues in the se- 
ries: Vasily Gippius's Gogol, the 1924 
Leningrad study of Gogol's personal and 
artistic development. Aleksandr L. Slon- 
imskii's monograph on Gogol's comit tech- 
nique (Petrograd, 1923). 

It has surprised no one that the author 
of Phi Beta Kappa as a Secret Society is 
Prof. William T. Hastings '03. The His- 
torian of the United Chapters has written 
much and well about the honorary frater- 
nity, of which he is also a Past President. 
Phi Beta Kappa has published the book 
(112 pages. $1.50). It is a study of the 
Masonic influences on the form and struc- 
ture of the Society in its Virginia begin- 
nings and of "the vicissitudes of the 40- 
year period before secrecy was abandoned 
by Phi Beta Kappa in the 1830's. 

In Dun's Review for August, Dr. Ver- 
non R. Alden '45, President of Ohio Uni- 
versity, called on the nation's businessmen 
to offer their time and talents to Govern- 
ment. Charging that not enough business- 
men are involving themselves in the forma- 
tion of public policy. President Alden said: 
"Business may be losing its voice in na- 
tional affairs." 

Horizon's summer issue included an ar- 
ticle on "The Muzak Men" by Alan Levy 
'52. Of the author, it said: "Alan Levy is 
a former reporter turned free-lance writer. 
He has written six books and a great many 
articles, most of which have taken an un- 
blinking look at some aspect or other of 
pop culture." 

David Lodge spent the past year at 
Brown, studying American literature on a 
Harkness Commonwealth Fellowship. It 
was pleasant, therefore, that his new novel 
should have appeared while he was still 
here. The young English writer's first novel. 
The Picturegoers, was written during two 
years of Army service, and the Army is 
again the background of Ginger, You're 
Barmy. Written three years ago, it was on 
the June list of Doubleday ($4.50). 

Who were the Loyalists in the period 
of the American Revolution, and why were 
they loyal? Prof. Wallace Brown writes 
of The King's Friends, published on Oct. 
18 by the Brown University Press (411 
pages. $7). The Press's announcement says: 
"Wallace Brown has made extensive use 
of a largely untapped source, the remain- 
ing records of the claims commission set 
up by the British government to indemnify 
American Loyalists for losses caused by 
the Revolution. ... (He) is the first scholar 
to use modern statistical techniques to de- 
termine who the Loyalists actually were." 
He analyzed the records of nearly 3000 
claimants. 

Noting that the book began as a Ph.D. 

thesis under the supervision of Prof. Carl 

Bridenbaugh, then at the University of 

California, Professor Brown says: "I un-

universities, first the University of Alberta, 
Edmonton, and now Brown University." 

Rhode Island History for July featured 
Dean C. Peter Magrath's article on "Sam- 
uel Ames: the Great Chief Justice of 
Rhode Island." Ames, who entered Brown 
at the age of 13, graduated in 1823; he 
died 100 years ago. Professor Magrath 
said: "Ironically, the man who spoke op- 
posing the popular party of Thomas W. 
Dorr became the judge who spoke for an- 
other of Dorr"s grand objectives — popular 
sovereignty. Those who think that the 
behavior of judges is easily deduced from 
their earlier social and political associa- 
tions would do well to ponder the career 
of Samuel Ames as politician and Samuel 
Ames as judge."

Carrying the Mail 



Whose Tunnel Riot? 



Sir: The implication in your May issue 
that the famed Tunnel Riot was the 
handiwork of the Class of 1931 ("anyone 
in the class of 1931 can give you a per- 
sonal account") caused many a raised eye- 
brow among us members of the Class of 
1932, but we let it pass. Now, however, 
the publication in your July issue of a let- 
ter from a member of the class of '31, re- 
ferring to "the tunnel riot staged by the 
Class of 1931," calls for a reply. 

Now it may very well be that the Class 
of 1931 put on some kind of a riot at 
some time or other — our '31 friend's ref- 
erence to an incident at the Empire bur- 
lesque house has the ring of authenticity. 
But the riot recorded in the annals of the 
Providence Pohce Department as THE 
riot of that era was the one staged by the 
Class of 1932 in late May or early June 
of 1929. The occasion: the burning of the 
ties. 

For presumably the only time in the his- 
tory of Brown the Freshman Class of that 
year had been compelled by its superiors 
to wear black neckties (and also, as I re- 
call, felt hats) throughout the school year. 
The program developed by our Class offi- 
cers for celebrating the termination of this 
requirement consisted of a march down 
College Hill, through the streets of the 
city, and back up through the Tunnel to 
Thayer Field where the tie-burning was to 
take place. 

As it turned out, most of our objectives 
were never attained. Fierce pockets of re- 
sistance on the part of the Providence po- 
lice were encountered all along the line of 
march. 

A particularly brisk battle developed at 
the Arcadia ballroom on Washington 
Street. As it happened, Washington St. was 
just then in the process of reconstruction. 
Large piles of cobblestones were stacked in 
front of the Arc — an obvious source of 
ammunition in event of enemy attack. In 
addition, a number of us had forethought- 
edly brought along a few dozen eggs of 
uncertain vintage — as a purely defensive 
measure, of course. 

A large contingent of the city's finest 
was congregated in defense of the cobble- 
stones. One thing led to another and soon 
the air was filled with eggs, cobblestones 
and, inevitably, riot-sticks. As a matter of 
fact the echo of gunfire was to be heard 
through the city streets. 

Speaking of sound effects, incidentally, 
mention should be made of the fact that 
the wailing of fire sirens and the sound of 
bells formed a continuous backdrop as the 
fireteams responded to calls turned in at 
each alarm bo.x along the way. Eventually 
the firemen, in a more playful mood than 
their brethren in the Police Department 
(in spite of the fact that a number of mis- 
directed eggs had found the firemen as 
targets), fell into line at the end of the 



procession rather than returning to the fire- 
house after checking each alarm. 

It was during the course of the clash at 
the Arc that several members of the Class 
of 1931, on the scene as observers, became 
involved as active participants — perhaps 
this is what has confused your editors and 
our letter-writing '31er. In particular I re- 
member that a 1931 football player named 
Sam something (at the moment the only 
football player I can think of by the name 
of Sam is Sam Huff but he wasn't the 
one), was one of a number of students who 
were hustled bloody-headed into the Black 
Maria and thence to the station-house. 

But the outstanding feat performed by a 
football player, unmatched in almost 40 
years of observation of Brown football by 
these eyes, was a rolling block put on by 
a '32er whose identity must even at this 
late date remain Top Secret, which simul- 
taneously rendered three of the men in 
blue hors de combat. 

In due course, the skirmish at the Arc 
came to an end, and the march continued 
with only minor alarums and excursions 
until, presently, we reached the Tunnel it- 
self. Here raged the bloodiest battle of the 
war. Rows of policemen, shoulder to 
shoulder, blocked the entrance to our goal. 
Wave after wave of assault troops dashed 
into the fray, only to be repulsed time and 
again by the stalwart defenders. 

Ultimately we had no alternative but to 
straggle up the hill by the conventional 
route and re-group our forces at the upper 
end of the Tunnel, with the thought that 
if they wouldn't let us go up maybe we 
could fool them and go down. Another 
contingent of police was at the top, how- 
ever — on horseback, no less — and the 
milling around continued with no end in 
sight. 

By this time two to three hours had 
elapsed, and we were all getting pretty 
tired. Besides, most of us Freshmen 
weren't used to the Prohibition beverages 
we had been partaking of and were more 
than willing to go somewhere and lie down 
and forget the whole thing. It was accord- 
ingly quite fortuitous that there suddenly 
appeared, in the second-story window at 
the Waterman St. end of the Chemistry 
Building, the beloved figure of Dean Ken- 
neth O. Mason. Within minutes, after a 
few soothing words from the Dean, it was 



all over. 

The dramatic role played by Dean Ma- 
son constitutes persuasive evidence that 
this was a '32 riot and not a '3/ riot. Dean 
Mason was Dean of Freshmen. (Dean 
Randall, as we all know, was Dean of the 
College). If this was a Sophomore riot, 
what was the Dean of Freshmen doing 
breaking it up? 

Moreover, several pieces of tangible evi- 
dence are still in existence which establish 
conclusively the soundness of the position 
herein taken: 

(1) The record in the Bursar's office of 



a charge of $5, payable not later than 
Commencement Day. which was levied 
against each member of the Class of 1932 
to defray the expense of dry-cleaning uni- 
forms; payment of the claim of Arcadia 
Enterprises, Inc. for replacement of plate 
glass in its ticket window, and the like. 

(2) A gunshot scar borne by one of the 
members of the Class, which was exhibited 
to all comers at the 25th reunion and will, 
we trust, similarly be on display at the up- 
coming 35th and subsequent gatherings. 

(3) Most conclusive of all: — the lyrics of 
the Class Song of the Class of 1932, com- 
posed early one morning in or about the 
year 1941 by collaborators too numerous 
to mention, around the piano at the Uni- 
versity Club in Providence. Here is how 
it goes, appropriately laundered for pres- 
ent purposes (Air: Did Your Mother 
Come from Ireland? ) : 

Did you hear about the Riot? 

Just before, it was so quiet. 

Then the boys of '32 marched down the 

Hill. 
And before we reached the Tunnel, 
Just like water through a funnel. 
To the old Arcadia ballroom we did mill. 
Now the rotten eggs were flyin' 
And the cops were almost cryin' 
As they said "Thou shalt not pass!" 
But we nearly scared the britches 
Off the dirty sons of witches 
As the cops went down en masse. 
So strictly just between us 
You can blame it on their keenness 
That the Class of '32 can still get by!

A Change to Mush 
Sir: I can't resist commenting on a word 
change imposed on my review of Selig 
Greenberg's book that converts a clean 
phrase into a mushy one. 

I wrote of Greenberg's "sharp eye and 
pen" intending the adjective for both 
nouns. The phrase has become "sharp eye 
and typewriter." Sharp typewriter, indeed! 
And who would combine an eye and a type- 
writer? 

M. V. EDDS, JR. 

Brown University 

(The tampering was in our office, not that 
of Professor Blistein, who edits our book 
review pages. We had felt Greenberg's re- 
sort to a pen was seldom. How sharper 
than a penman's eye, it is to have a med- 
dling mind. — Ed.) 

Frustrated by Football 
Sir: The cliche that should be the foun- 
dation of Brown's thinking relative to foot- 
ball is "Something worth doing is worth 
doing well." 

The football team should not be second- 
rate any more than the Physics Depart- 
ment or the Chess Club. Excellence should 
be strived for in all areas, not just .tome 
areas. You will not find anyone who thinks 
that Princeton or Harvard, for example, 
have become second-rate academically by 
being first rate athletically. 

I almost get the idea that we are trying 
to prove our high academic standing by

our poor performance on the football field 
(Gee whiz. Brown must really be a tough 
school study-wise 'cuz lookit what a lousy 
football team it fields year after year). 

1 will get to the point. We have picked 
a good league to play in. Now let's "play" 
in that league. Believe me when I say that 
I am not greedy. I just want Brown to win 
its share of games, that's all. I love Brown 
and consider myself a loyal alumnus. How- 
ever. I also consider myself a frustrated 
alumnus.

Commencement Elves 
Sir: How much did the two elves have to 
pay to obtain their hat-top seats for the 
parade? (See photo in July issue. Brown 
Alumni Monthly.) 

Everyone certainly seems amused. Is 
the Chancellor the only person present 
who dares acknowledge their being there?

James Blaine Hedges 

Sir: Reading recently of the death of 
Prof. James Hedges was a shock, for 
this man had meant a great deal to me. In 
fact, he profoundly affected my career — 
and entire life. Often through the years I 
wrote to express this debt. He always re- 
plied promptly, and thoughtfully. My last 
letter was to congratulate him on his hon- 
orary degree from Brown. 

As a teacher he was a professional. His 
performance — in the highest sense — spelled 
a definition of teaching. His talent was a 
combination of so many elements that 
often one could not pin it down. Perhaps 
it was that he brought history into a room 
with him. So often, one could almost feel 
the breathing presence of the giants of 
whom he spoke — not always tenderly, but 
always fairly — not in a procession on the 
pages of a book but sitting right there in 
the room with you. Each class was excit- 
ing, as this gifted man literally trail-blazed 
through all developments. To have such a 
deep affection for a subject, combined with 
prodigious scholarship, was talent of a 
high order. I shall greatly miss him.

"Monthly?" How Come? 
Sir: It has been three months since I 
have received your magazine. Also, since 
you do not publish in June, I have re- 
ceived only one publication in nearly five 
months (the July issue). Is this any way to 
run a "Monthly"? I think not. 

PHILIP FEINER '39 

San Francisco 

(Though we were given our name back in 
1900, we're only "Monthly" nine times a 
year. But that's a little diflficult to express 
briefly in a logo. Any suggestions? Thanks 
for missing us, but we did enjoy our sum- 
mer vacation. — Ed.) 




"HAT-TOP SEATS": A Maryland reader spotted "the two elves." We didn't. 



Non-Existent Court 
Sir: Twice in the last year my ordinar- 
ily enjoyable perusal of the Alumni 
Montlily has been disturbed by a reference 
to a mysterious body called the United 
States Court of Tax Appeals. The first 
reference was contained in the supposed 
reprint of the citation given Judge Tietjens 
accompanying his degree, and the second 
is found in the October issue in the ar- 
ticle on Judge Tannenwald's elevation to 
the bench. 

You appear to have confused the Board 
of Tax Appeals, abolished some decades 
ago, with the Tax Court of the United 
States, on which both of these gentlemen 
serve. 

It is rather painful to think that when 
the University set out to reward a dis- 
tinguished alumnus, it did not bother to 
ascertain the name of the court upon 
which he has so ably served. I trust that 
Judge Tietjens's citation has been cor- 
rected, and that no more alumni will be 
appointed to non-existent courts. 

CHARLES A. HECKMAN, '60

Soccer's Rapid Rise 
Sir: It is certainly gratifying to follow 
the exploits of our soccer team again this 
year. It is evident that Coach Stevenson 
has made a winning soccer team a perma- 
nent institution at Brown. 

As a member of his first team at Brown, 
I feel that we might have had a role in the 
success now enjoyed. Our record that year 
was 1-9-0 and probably scared hell out of 
Cliff — as it well should have. Not only 
did we have a terrible record that season, 
but the number of spectators we had 
could have been counted on one hand. I 
have been to two games this season at 
Brown and have not only been impressed 
by the team but also by the large number 
of fans that the games are played to. 

I was not impressed, however, with the 
facilities available for spectator comfort. 
Seating arrangements are unsatisfactory — 
not only are there too few, but those that 
are there face directly into the sun. Many 



older people go to these games and are 
not able to sit — perhaps more of them 
would come if additional stands were 
available. If an admission to the games is 
going to be charged, then it would seem 
fair for the spectators to be able to sit and 
watch the game with the sun at their 
backs. I would hope that the University 
could erect some stands — at least for next 
season — and show some physical support 
for a team well deserving of it. 

In closing, I would like to mention the 
recent formation of the Brown Soccer As- 
sociation whose function, in essence, is 
to maintain the high level of soccer that 
Brown now enjoys. The Association is 
open to all past Brown soccer players and 
all friends of Brown soccer. Further in- 
formation can be obtained from Coach 
Stevenson or from me at I29.'> Common-

Songs and Cheers 

Sir: Pete McCarthy is to be congratu- 
lated for winning another award for the 
quality of the Brown Football Programs 
he edits. But I think 1 have a suggestion 
for a further improvement in them, 
through elimination of a wasted item. 

Pete still devotes a page of the Programs 
to "Brown Songs and Cheers," as though 
each reader would turn to it as he sings 
and cheers. This is a nice bow to an an- 
cient past, and 1 have no quarrel with the 
selection of songs (The Alma Mater, 
Brown Cheering Song. Ever True to 
Brown, When Our Men Get in the Fray, 
and Ki-Yi-Yi). 

But if anybody sings songs at football 
games any more, it has escaped my atten- 
tion. I'm not even sure anybody cheers 
any more, for that matter. The "cheer- 
leaders" do still appear from time to time, 
although, when the team returned to the 
field for the second half of the Rhode Is- 
land game, none of the Brown cheerlead- 
ers was anywhere in sight, wistful

EDITED BY JAY BARRY '50 



1887 

PRESIDENT Johnson and Vice-President 
Humphrey were among the first of thou- 
sands who sent telegrams and messages to 
former Senator Theodore Francis Green 
Oct. 2 on his 98th birthday. As usual, 
there was the birthday cake (chocolate 
with chocolate icing) with a single candle 
in the middle. On the cake were the words 
'"Happy Birthday" and the numerals "98." 
The telegram from President Johnson 
read: "Lady Bird and I are thinking of 
you today as we have on so many of your 
birthdays in the past. Every year makes 
our friendship with you more meaningful 
and memorable. No American who ever 
served in the United States Senate has ex- 
ceeded your devotion to your country and 
your ability in public matters. How richer 
we are for the 98 birthdays you celebrate 
today." 

1893 

Brown's oldest living graduate, Daniel 
Howard, is one of the contributors to the 
new anthology, Two Centuries of Brown 
Verse. It is a lively inspirational poem, 
"The Golden Fellowship." 

1905 

More members of the Class went into 
education as a life's work than any other 
profession. This bit of information was put 
together last spring while doing research 
for our Class scrapbook. Ne,\t to education 
came engineering, with 25 classmates 
spending their lives in that profession. 
Close behind came law (19), business 
managers (15), physicians (14), and 
clergy (12). In addition, there were six 
bankers — but no Indian chiefs. 

Secretary Charlie Robinson reports that 
the Class had the second largest percentage 
of men returning for the Bicentennial Re- 
union, trailing only the 50th Reunion 
Class. "This kind of Class spirit down 
through the years has enabled '05 to make 
a name for itself that will always have a 
place in Brown's history." 

President Fred Schwinn. in poor health, 
is now at the Hattie Ide Chaffee Home,

Frederick B. Thurber was one of the 
"old timers" interviewed, and pictured, in 
the "Rhode Islander" section of the Prov- 
idence Sunday Jourmd on the changes in 
Westminster St. down through the years. 
A new Shopping Mall has been added to 
the area recently, with the street closed 
to all but pedestrian traffic. 

A group photo of 1905's 15th reunion 
recently came to the University through 
the daughter of Harry Anthony and was 
welcomed by the University Archivist. 

1906 
The Dr. Alex M. Burgess Annual Lec- 
tureship was established this fall at the 



fifth annual research day of Miriam Hos- 
pital. The lectureship, named for the 
noted 80-year-old Rhode Island physician 
and medical educator who was formerly 
Chief of the Hospital's Department of 
Medicine, is designed to bring noted speak- 
ers in various fields of the medical pro- 
fession to the Providence area. Dr. Burgess 
was presented a certificate praising him 
for a "lifetime of service and wise coun- 
sel" to his community at a dinner spon- 
sored by the Miriam Hospital Staff Asso- 
ciation and the Intern and Resident Alumni 
Association. Dr. Burgess, incidentally, is 
represented in the Bicentennial anthology.

cludes his poem, "Song of a Man's Own

Howard Congdon retired from business 
four years ago. Despite poor health due 
to various injuries over the past years, 
he manages to get out regularly in the car 
for local trips. His son, John, was married 
in June and lives near his parents in Hing- 
ham, Mass. Daughter Caroline spent a 
month with them recently while her hus- 
band was in the Philippines. Howard 
would be pleased to hear from his class- 
mates. His address: 21 Whitcomb Ave., 
Hingham, Mass. 

Continuing their peregrinations, the '06 
team of Rackle and Bellows during Oc-

in bed. 

"His craggy features, white hair, rimless 
spectacles, and accent were as indigenous 
to this area as the White Mountains or 
Cape Cod," Dr. Wolk recalls. He asked 
the Judge his name and where he went to 
school. "Albert L. Saunders. Brown ought 
two," was the reply. The next question re- 
ferred to fraternity, and the two men 
found they were brothers of Kappa Sigma. 
"I conjured up as much of the secret sign 
words and handshakes as I could, and for 
15 minutes the Judge and I had a grand 
old time." 

Judge Saunders pulled through surgery 
in fine style and is convalescing comfort- 
ably at his home, 842 Village St., West 
Medway, Mass. Dr. Wolk is now at the 
University of Illinois Research-Educational 
Hospital for his surgical internship.

Dr. Merrick L. Streeter, after five years 
of active service as Visiting Minister of 
Phillips Memorial Baptist Church, Cran- 
ston, is now "completely retired." A serv- 
ice of worship and testimonial was held 
at Spring Green Memorial Church, at 
which our classmate and Mrs. Streeter 
were the guests of honor. The speakers, in- 
cluding Dr. A. C. Thomas '08 and Donald 
Jones '40, lauded the long service of the 
Streeters as missionaries in Burma and as 
religious workers in New England, and 
particularly Rhode Island. 

R. W. McPhee presumably is carrying 
on with his intention, set forth in a letter 
from Tacoma in July, of writing a book. 
"Never having seen a book on living or 
health by an octogenarian," he said, "I 
thought I might write one that would ap- 
peal to readers among our 20.000,000 
senior citizens." With his letter he sent 
an outline in part and added that he was 
seeking advice on literary agents and pub- 
lishers.

anything since I retired in January, 1961," 
he said. He became President Emeritus of 
Colgate Rochester in that year. Among 
his projects since that time and on that 
non-salaried basis have been: a trip around 
the world evaluating mission colleges of 
three denominations; a survey of American 
theological seminaries for the American

one-ton truck, two automobiles, as well 
as other junk." 

1910 

The retirement of Judge John P. Harti- 
gan prompted a lengthy appreciation in 
the columns of the Rhode Island Bar 
Journal, concluding with "heartfelt thanks 
for a job well done." The former Circuit 
Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for 
the First District since 1951 had more 
than 25 years' service in the Federal judi- 
cial system.

Dr. George Boas, Professor Emeritus 
of Philosophy at Johns Hopkins, is one 
of 10 Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholars 
this academic year. He has a busy schedule 
of lectures and conferences at colleges and 
universities where there are Phi Beta Kappa 
Chapters. Two of Professor Boas's poems, 
"Octave" and "Double Octave." appear in 
the new Bicentennial anthology. Two Cen-

1918 
Dr. James V. Bennett, retired chief of 
the Federal Prison Bureau, has stated that 
birth control would reduce crime "as 
surely as night follows day." Speaking be- 
fore a Senate government subcommittee, 
he urged that legislation be passed to per- 
mit the distribution of birth control infor- 
mation by the federal government. "Hun- 
dreds of thousands of parents are unable 



to provide adequately for themselves and 
their children because they have failed to 
put limitations on their offspring," he said. 

Cyrus G. Flanders has resigned from 
the Connecticut State Employment Service 
after 30 years to accept a position as the

William Dewart is still enthusiastic at 
the wonderful time that he had on the 
Hill during the celebration of his 45th Re- 
union. "I plan to return each year for one 
full week," he writes. "Never had a better 
time or was more proud of Brunonia than 
in June of 1965." Bill is quite anxious to 
hear definite plans on the construction of 
the new basketball auditorium, field house, 
and swimming pool. 

Stanley A. Ferger has retired as Vice- 
President of the Cincinnati Enquirer after 
a long and distinguished career. The paper 
is considered one of the great voices of the 
Midwest, thanks largely to Stan's efforts 
over the years. He and his wife reside at 
2374 Madison Rd., Cincinnati 45208. 

Robert S. Macfarlane continues as Pres- 
ident of Northern Pacific Railway Co. He 
reports that 1965 will probably surpass 
1964, both in revenues and earnings, even 
though 1964 was considered a highly suc- 
cessful year. 

Just to correct an error that appeared 
in the July issue of this magazine. We had 
65 back for our 45th Reunion, not 32. 
And from all reports, the three-day affair 
was considered a huge success.

GEORGE E. SHATTUCK '22 retired this year 
after nearly a quarter-century as Principal of 
the Norwich Free Academy. He is a former

PRAYING Hands is published six times a 
year by James L. Jenks '19 as a "contri- 
bution to the field of Religion in Industry." 
When he retired as President and General 
Manager of Sanborn Company, Cam- 
bridge, Jenks moved his office to Winches- 
ter, Mass., and the Praying Hands Chari- 
table Trust is located there at 28 Church 
St. 

The magazine is distributed as "a me- 
dium for the interchange of ideas, experi- 
ences, and plans among organizations 
which have or contemplate religious pro-

whose card early in the summer brought 
"aphelionic" wishes when the earth was 
farthest from the sun. 

1922 

Leslie B. Goff retired last spring as Vice- 
President of Mechanics National Bank of 
Worcester. Reviewing an active career re- 
cently, he chose a time in 1955 as one of 
his proudest moments. Then President of 
the Kiwanis Club, he suggested to its Board 
of Directors that something should be 
done about a science fair. Something was 
done, and a full two years before the first 
Sputnik shocked the United States into 
an awareness of the value of science. The 
Fair, now in its 10th year, was a success 
again last spring when held at Worcester 
Tech's Alumni Gymnasium. 

There are other non-business satisfac- 
tions for the career banker. In 1953, the 
Worcester Little Symphony performed at 
Worcester Auditorium for the Worcester 
Civic Music Association. Les, Past Pres- 
ident of the Civic Music organization, was 
the campaign director. During his under- 
graduate days on College Hill he earned 
money as an orchestra leader, and he's 
never lost his love for music. "I wanted to 
be a jazz orchestra leader like Paul White- 
man, the idol of the era," he recalls. "My 
mother wanted me to become a church 
organist. So I compromised and became 
neither." He joined the bank in 1928 and 
has absolutely no regrets. He and his 
wife, Aili, hope to get to West Palm 
Beach more often now. But time won't 
hang heavy on their hands. Both have 
plenty of hobbies. His include music, bowl- 
ing, golf, fishing, and gardening. 

George E. Shattuck, Principal of Nor- 
wich Free Academy, retired in June. He 
and his wife had been the first family of 
the Norwich school for 25 years. During 
this period, George was accorded many 
honors. In 1958 he became the first man 
from Connecticut to be elected President 
of the National Association of Secondary 
School Principals. This event climaxed a 
string of top posts, including President of 
the Connecticut Headmasters' Club, the 
Capitol District Conference, and the Con- 



and industry. As a maker of electrocardio- 
graphic devices, he became a companion of 
Dr. Paul Dudley White on some of the 
latter's trips. One expedition to Alaska re- 
sulted in success that particularly delighted 
them: they harpooned a white whale and 
took an electrocardiogram of it. Our read- 
ers will recall his article on this ("Thar 
She Beats") in our March issue in 1954. 

Praying Hands is in its seventh year of 
publication. Jenks contributes a page or 
two of his own in each issue. A recent one 
spoke of a winter visit to the Mediterra- 
nean countries, and he found in Dubrov- 
nik, Yugoslavia, what he described as "a 
striking example of too much security," a 
subject on which another writer had writ- 
ten an article for him.

George E. Shattuck March, which will be 
played at all future graduations.

President of the North End Community 
Center, board member of the Hartford 
Symphony Society, the Chamber of Com- 
merce, and the Children's Museum of 
Greater Hartford. 

Stuart H. Tucker has been elected Chair-

and frozen foods fields, having been Pres- 
ident of Woods Bakeries. Inc., in Evanston, 
111., one of the pioneers in the prepared 
frozen-food field. When Quaker Oats ac- 
quired the firm in 1955, Woods went with

The spotlight was on Russell Halliday 
recently in the Boston Globe's "parade of 
New England industry" with a story on 
"The Country House That Education 
Built." Last year, Halliday Lithograph 
Corp. in Hanover, Mass., posted sales of 
more than $2,300,000, a record that showed 



tripling of sales in the past five years: the 
1965 target has been three million. Of the 
13,000,000 books turned out at the Halli- 
day plant last year, nearly all fell into 
four categories: college text and technical, 
trade (that's the best-seller type), chil- 
dren's, and religious. Though he had no 
such plans a year ago. Halliday had to in- 
stall four new presses, compelled by the 
volume of business. "Everything I have 
ever done I was forced to do," Halliday 
told the Globe reporter who interviewed 
him. 

A Gordon Dewart Trophy was up as a 
prize in the 1965 Green Mountain tennis 
championships of the Brattleboro Outing 
Club. Dewart is a Brattleboro resident, 
and the newspaper stories and pictures 
properly identified him as a "former Brown 
University athlete." The Paul Revere bowl 
he offered went to Harvey Harrison as the 
"outstanding newcomer." Dewart spoke 
from the referee's stand in saying a few 
words during the presentation.

could be hung as pictures or used as 
trays.

May Day parade last spring after com- 
pleting a year of travel and study in South- 
east Asia as a Brown Arnold Fellow. "I 
struck up a conversation with a fellow 
American at the Parade and he turned out 
to be George Henderson '38 of the Brown 
Photo Lab. It is encouraging to find that 
university people throughout Southeast 
Asia know Brown and speak so well of it."

A New Division 

THE GROWING INTERDEPENDENCE of the 
life sciences has prompted Brown Uni- 
versity to form a new Division of Biologi- 
cal and Medical Sciences. It brings together 
what were formerly the Departments of 
Biology and Botany and the Division of 
Medical Science. 

The Division will be administered chiefly 
by an Executive Council chaired by Prof. 
Paul F. Fenton of the former Department 
of Biology. Prof. Mac V. Edds, Jr., 
formerly Chairman of the Division of 
Medical Science, will be Director of 
Medicine: and Prof. Herman B. Chase, 
formerly Chairman of the Biology Depart- 
ment, will be Director of Biology. 

Discussing the new Division, Dr. Edds 
said: "Its formation explicitly recognizes 
the growing cooperation between the disci- 



plines now encompassed within the Di- 
vision. By this move, the Department of 
Biology, long one of Brown's strongest, is 
brought into more effective association with 
the University's new program in medical 
science." 

Brown's Director of Medicine also 
pointed out that "since the life sciences, in- 
cluding Botany, are closely interlocked, 
formation of this new Division at Brown 
should both strengthen all of them and 
permit optimal cooperation among them. 
Moreover, new additions to the Medical 
Science Faculty can be made available to 
a larger range of students. 

Professor Chase, Director of Biology, 
added: "The increase in Medical Faculty 
will provide a larger number of interests 
and areas of research for the non-medical 
disciplines within the Division. Although 
the immediate increase must be largely on 
the medical side, plans are under way to 
increase appreciably in the near future the 
non-medical side of the Division." 

Brown's Department of Biology has a 
solidly-established reputation in the fields 
of genetics, growth and development of 
organisms, cytology, biochemistry, and 
physiology. All have important applications 
to medicine since the results of research 
in these areas may bear upon the treatment 
of such major medical problems as cancer, 
heart disease, radiation sickness, and con- 
genital defects. 

The study of Botany also has close inter- 
relationships with the other disciplines in 
the Division. The cells of plants, for ex- 
ample, share many of the biochemical 
properties found in the cells of animals. 
Tumors in plants have similarities to those 
found in man and other animals. Prof. 
George L. Church, formerly Chairman of 
the Botany Department, will serve as 
representative for Botany on the Executive 
Council of the Division. 

"Most medical schools were started with 
separate departments, with separate Deans 
and Faculties," Dr. Edds said. "Some of 
them in recent years, recognizing the in- 
creasing dependence of medicine on the 
biological sciences and vice versa, have 
attempted to combine them. But they have 
been unsuccessful, largely because of en- 
trenched traditions. At Brown we are able 
to move because we are at the beginning of 
our program in medical science and be- 
cause of the willingness of the faculty to 
take a fresh approach to an old problem." 
Brown's unique six-year program, de- 
signed to prepare men and women to 
enter medical schools at the clinical level 
and for medical research, admitted its 
third class this fall. Its graduates will re- 
ceive the Master of Medical Science 
degree. 

The program is based on the conviction 
that the conventionally separate pre- 
medical and preclinical phases of medical 
education can be more effectively presented 
as a continuing pattern. The interrelation 
between the basic sciences and clinical 
medicine can in this way be more ade- 
quately introduced. Brown officials feel. 
They believe that graduates of such a 
program will be better able to apply their 
knowledge imaginatively to medical prac- 
tice, teaching, and research.

The Brown Clubs Report 



Man on the Road 

JAMES R. GoRHAM "54, Associate Alumni 
Secretary, had a busy fall on the road. 
Leaving Providence the day after Labor 
Day, he visited with 106 alumni leaders 
at 41 meetings in 13 different cities before 
his return on Sept. 24. The basic purpose 
of the trip was to provide Gorham with 
an opportunity to discuss Brown Club pro- 
grams for the current academic year and 
to meet informally with Secondary School 
Committees and Club Boards. 

Gorham's first stop was Hartford, where 
he conferred with Club President James 
M. DeMund '56 and Girard E. Haverty 
'54, the latter a former football teammate. 
Moving on to Springfield, Mass., Brown's 
traveling ambassador met with Donald 
J. McLain '57, Lewis Shaw '48, Lester L. 
Halpern '52, John Bowles '58. and Alfred 
J. Maryott, Jr., '49. 

A visit to the Fairfield County Brown 
Club in Connecticut area brought Gorham 
in contact with Wallace H. Henshaw, Jr., 
'49, Chairman of the Alumni Secondary 
School Committee, and William Klaess 
'55. At Scranton a luncheon meeting was 
held with Frank E. Hemeiright '31, Pres- 
ident of New England National Bank, 
and J. Harvey Sproul, Jr., '57. That eve- 
ning, Gorham arrived in Harrisburg for 
dinner with H. Robert Nissley '43. 

The next day in Pittsburgh, Gorham 
had lunch with A. Richard Marcus '57, 
President of the local club. Two meetings 
were held the next day in Columbus. At 
lunch, Gorham sat down with AUyn J. 
Crooker '28, Gordon E. Perry '55, and 
Alan R. Sarle '53, and in the evening he 
attended a dinner-meeting with the area's 
Schools Committee. 

Gorham was equally busy the next day 
in Cincinnati. He lunched with Club offi- 
cers James B. Lohr '56, Thomas S. Shore, 
Jr., '61, Joseph B. Donahue '56. and Don- 
ald E. Waggoner '52, and in the evening 
he met with the Cincinnati Schools Com- 
mittee. This group includes Paul G. Faff- 
ney '49. C. Bert Amann. Jr.. '53, John D. 
Holbrook '62, Eugene M. Kay, Jr., '59, 
and Donald E. Waggoner "52. 

Club Officers James M. Hutchinson '51, 
William A. Dyer '24, Jack R. Snyder '62, 
and Berkley W. Duck, 3rd, '60 were wait- 
ing in Indianapolis to take Gorham to 
lunch. That evening, Richard K. Gage 
'51 and his wife, Bobby, had a small din- 
ner party for the visitor from College 
Hill, Brown Club Officers, and their wives. 

Kenneth Frank '39. President of the 
Milwaukee Brown Club, set up a luncheon 
meeting for 10 persons when Gorham hit 
town. Robert Sinclair '52, Schools Chair- 
man, and Ralph Rosenbaum '53, Club 
Treasurer, huddled for some time with 
Gorham. 

In Chicago, Gorham lunched with Club 
Officers, Schools Chairman John T. Swan- 
ton '50, and John C. Christie '59. That 
evening, just for a change of pace, Gor- 



ham attended not one but two meetings. 
The first was at the home of Club Pres- 
ident William M. Kaiser, Jr., '43, on the 
North Shore for those Club members cov- 
ering the Northern suburbs. Then it was 
across town to the West Side of the City 
for a similar session at the Swanton res- 
idence. 

President Kaiser chaired the luncheon 
meeting in the Windy City. Among those 
attending were Vice-President Nathaniel 
W. Horton '54, Secretary Thomas W. 
Hoagland '63, Treasurer Thomas F. Jones, 
Jr., '55, Eugene White '51, Charles F. Lev- 
eroni '51, and Richard P. Robb '51. A 
possible spring visit by President Keeney 
was discussed, as was the publication at 
no cost to the members of a directory of 
alumni in the Chicago area. 

Moving to Detroit, Gorham had lunch 
at the University Club and then met in the 
evening with Michigan Brown Club's new 
President. Merritt Jones. Jr., '53, who re- 
placed John D. Gould '51, recently trans- 
ferred to London. Gorham also spent 
some time with the new Schools Chair- 
man, Davis W. Lee, Jr., '61. 

Flying to Boston on the last leg of his 
trip, Gorham had lunch on Friday, Sept. 
24, with the Club's Officers and Board at 
the Lenox Hotel. That evening he returned 
to Providence, 18 days after his departure, 
just in time to attend the first monthly 
meeting of the Associated Alumni Board 
of Directors. 



Pops Concert Planned 

ANOTHER Pops Concert will be held at 
. Commencement, with the Brown Club 
of Rhode Island and the Pembroke Club 
of Providence again sponsoring the event. 
At its Executive Committee meeting in 
October, the Brown Club voted unani- 
mously to help produce another concert 
comparable to the highly successful Bi- 
centennial Pops Concert held last Com- 
mencement. 

President Edward Bromage, Jr„ '27 
named John C. Edgren '38, Vice-President 
of Citizens Bank & Trust Co., as Chair- 
man for the 1966 affair. Brown members 
on Edgren's Steering Committee will in- 
clude Bromage, Jay Barry '50, Andrew C. 
Hunt '51, C. Edward Kiely '50, Roderick 
A. McGarry, 2nd, '61, Alfred S. Reynolds 
'48, and Frank Sternberg '50. 

At the October meeting, Bromage read 
a report from Dr. Keeney in which the 
President favored a concert sponsored 
jointly by the local Brown and Pembroke 
Clubs and said that the University would 
underwrite the project up to $2,000. Mee- 
han Auditorium would be made available 
in the event of rain. 

Last year's concert, held on the Pem- 
broke Campus, attracted a capacity crowd 
of 2,100 persons, with tickets sold out a 
week before. Chairman Edgren announced 
that reservations are being accepted and 



will be filled on a first-come, first-served 
basis. Special attention will be given to 
Classes wishing to make early reserva- 
tions for tables in preferred locations. Last 
year's affair featured the Rhode Island 
Philharmonic and vocalist Martha Wright. 
An effort will be made to secure entertain- 
ment of a similar caliber. 

One of the major events of the winter 
season will be a dinner for President 
Keeney. A committee will be named 
shortly to work on this event. The Club 
also plans to work with the Pembroke 
Club of Providence in sponsoring a 
"Night" for one of the Sock and Buskin 
productions. Social hours were held fol- 
lowing the Yale and Harvard football 
games, with Kiely and Jack Schreiber '50 
handling the arrangements. 

At the October meeting the group 
voted to donate $1,000 to the University 
toward the purchase of a second score- 
board-clock for Meehan Auditorium. The 
total cost of the piece of equipment is 
$2,000. The Club currently has more than 
$10,000 in its Clubhouse Account. 



Phoenix Sets Records 

Eight Valley of the Sun high school 
graduates from Arizona are on College 
Hill this fall, a new record for the Phoenix 
area. Through the enthusiastic efforts of 
Dave Zucconi of the Admissions Office 
and a few interested local alumni, the 
astounding number of 36 high school Sen- 
iors applied for admission as members of 
the Brown Class of '69, and nine were ac- 
cepted. Both figures also are new records. 

Dave Yeaton '51, Bill McLellan '49, 
Bob Ross '50, Herb Beede '50, and Walter 
Gray '36 were instrumental in reviving an 
otherwise defunct Phoenix Brown Club in 
1960. We have made intermittent strides 
since to "get going," but this year's con- 
centrated efforts have borne results which 
border on the fantastic. In 1956 there 
were fewer than 30 Brown graduates in 
the Phoenix area. Today there are more 
than 50, about half the number of Brown 
men in the State. 

The Club has plans to establish a Phoe- 
nix Brown Club Scholarship of $1800 a 
year. We have been in contact with the 
University, the wheels are turning, and 
we will give a further report on our 
progress in the next issue of this magazine. 

In September we had a pool-side get- 
together at the Safari Hotel in Scottsdale 
for the purpose of introducing to each 
other the eight Phoenix men headed for 
the Hill. .Alumni present were Sam Henry 
'30, Walt Gray '36, George Bright '38, 
whose son. Judd. entered Brown this fall, 
Herb Beede '50, and Dave Yeaton '51, 
who threw the party. 

Of interest is the fact that Dr. Paul 
Brenner '56 of New York City, who was 
vacationing at the Safari, chanced by the 
pool-side table where the Brown banner 
was spread. He stopped, blinked his eyes, 
and exclaimed, "Brown'.' Brown University 
way out here?" At which point he sat 
down and spent more than an hour with 
the group.

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 



Leadership for Minnesota 
Thomas B. Caswell, Jr., '60, a former 
member of the Brown Admissions staff, 
has been elected President of the Brown 
Club of Minnesota. His staff will include 
Henry A. Johnson '45 as Vice-President 
and Chairman of the Alumni Secondary 
School Committee and Stephen M. Kreg- 
ness '53 as Secretary-Treasurer. William 
H. Moberger '56 would have ascended to 
the presidency had he not been lured to 
New Jersey by a better job. William Moss 
'52 will serve as Program Chairman for 
the Club. 

Increasing competition for luncheon 
space and dates indicated that a Wednes- 
day would be the best day for our monthly 
luncheon program. The place is the same 
as in the past — Normandy Motor Motel. 
The time is 12 noon, and the price $2.50, 
including tip. The highlight of the Oct. 20 
meeting was the screening of the North- 
western National Bank's film, "How to 
Watch Professional Football." 

No doubt about it, the feature of the 
summer season was the Club's Annual 
Picnic, held July 31 at the Lake Minne- 
tonka home of Howard and June Page. 
Threatening weather failed to dampen the 
spirits of the 19 people on hand. By sup- 
pertime the wind had abated, the sun 
danced on the lake waters, and the back- 
ground for the diners on the veranda 
couldn't have been more attractive. Ralph 
Lowrey, Tom Caswell, and Ken Allen 
had whetted their appetites with rope 
swinging and other athletic feats, while 
others prepared themselves for the repast 
in a more usual fashion. 

Chicago's Bon Voyage 
Chicago area Freshmen and their dads 
were the guests of honor at the Brown 
Club of Chicago's annual Send-Off Party 
Sept. 7 in the spacious apartment of James 
R. Bremner '34 on the city's near North 
Side. 

A "get-acquainted" hour preceded a 
buffet supper, after which each entering 
student was introduced to the gathering. 
The evening was concluded with the show- 
ing of the movie, "Invitation to College 
Hill." The affair attracted 18 of the area's 
24 new Freshmen, most of them accom- 
panied by their fathers, along with 21 
alumni who have been active in admis- 
sions work. 

The Bremner address was easy to locate, 
with a 4 X 6-foot Brown banner promi- 
nently displayed across the outside en- 
trance to the building. Of unusual interest 
to all who attended was an attractive dis- 
play of Brown pictures, articles, and as- 
sorted material featuring life on College 
Hill. 

Brown Visits Houston 
The Houston Brown Club met in- 
formally in late September with Admis- 
sions Officer Eric Brown, who was visiting 
the fastest growing city in Texas on admis- 
sions work. The Club's principal activity 
is its Secondary School Program, and the 
members are quite proud of having three 
Freshmen on the Hill this fall, including 
the first winner of the Houston Brown 
Club Scholarship.

ner. Left to right: Fullerton; F. Rodney Doshnow '58, Nichols School coach; Robert B. Clark '39,

William T. Slick, Jr., '49 reports that 
he would be pleased to hear from any of 
the 76 Brown men in the area who might 
like to participate in the Secondary School 
Program. His address: 13022 Taylorcrest, 
Houston 24. 

In an Egyptian Setting 
Among the mummies in the Upper 
Egyptian Room of the University of Penn- 
sylvania Museum, close to 200 loyal Bru- 
nonians gathered for a social hour follow- 
ing the Brown-Penn game of Oct. 2. 
Represented at the affair, which was spon- 
sored by the Brown Club of Philadelphia, 
were Brown Club Presidents from Rhode 
Island, New York, and Philadelphia. Also 
on hand were Alumni Secretary Paul 
Mackesey and Associate Alumni Secre- 
tary Jim Gorham. A raffle was won by a 
visiting undergraduate, Joel Widelitz '67; 
two pieces of matched luggage were the 
prize. 

South Shore's Party 
President Albert F. Hunt. Jr., '26 
presided this fall at the annual Send-Off 
Party for Freshmen entering Brown and 
Pembroke from the South Shore area of 
Massachusetts. The scene was the Alamo 
Restaurant in Abington, with Alumni Sec- 
retary Paul Mackesey and Alumnae Sec- 
retary Doris Stapelton on hand to speak 
briefly. 

Some of the leading divot-diggers of the 
Club traveled to Providence Oct. 28 to 
participate in the Brown Club of Rhode 
Island's Fall Golf Outing. President Hunt 
observed his golfers closely in an effort 
to put together the best team possible for 
the spring competition with the Rhode 
Islanders for the Howard Williams Trophy. 



Worcester's Scholarship 
The Coach and Six Restaurant was 
the scene Sept. 8 of the Worcester County 
Brown Club's favorite event, its annual 
Send-Off Dinner. All of the incoming 
Freshmen from this Massachusetts area 
were invited to come and hear Ted Hail 
of the Admission Office give some last- 
minute pointers on how to navigate through 
four years on the Hill. 

One of the new Brown men, Roger S. 
Donway of Holden, Mass., received the 
Club's scholarship for the year. He grad- 
uated from Worcester Academy, eighth in 
a Class of 147, was Editor of the school 
paper, and served as Associate Editor of 
the yearbook. He has a brother at Brown 
and a sister at Pembroke. 

South County Hosts 
Coach John McLaughry, his staff, and 
his football squad were the guests of the 
South County Brown Club on Sept. 12 at 
the Narragansett home of Joe Buonanno 
'34, President of the Brown Football As- 
sociation. In addition to the coaches and 
players, more than 50 members of the As- 
sociation and the Club were on hand to 
enjoy the Buonanno hospitality. The former 
Brown football Captain made the day 
complete by taking his turn as chef during 
the barbecue. 

Luncheons in Detroit 

The Michigan Brown Club is sponsor- 
ing monthly luncheons through this aca- 
demic year on the second Friday of each 
month at the University Club, 1411 East 
Jefferson Ave., Detroit. Sit-down time is 
12 noon, and no reservations are neces- 
sary.

BROWN AND CORNELL entries in the 1965 
Ivy Golf Tourney in Illinois; A. S. George '39 
and Allen S. Kerr '50 of Brown ore of right, 
winners over J. K. Logsdon and J, P, Jason. 



Chicagoland Golfers 

In the team matches in the 11th An- 
nual Chicagoland Ivy League Alumni Golf 
Tournament, Brown alumni defeated Cor- 
nell. The championship event, however, 
was won by Harvard. The Chicago Brown 
Club donated the trophy (a Revere bowl, 
now much engraved) back in 1955, but it 
has not been able to field a twosome to 
repossess the prize thus far. 

In the matches at Glen View Club, A. S. 
George '39 of River Forest and Allen S. 
Kerr '50 of Park Ridge were the Brown 
representatives. They beat the Cornell 
team by a combined low net of 154 to 
163. F. Abbott Brown '26 was our reporter 
and photographer. 

Hartford's Royal Send-Off 
The Hartford Brown Club's annual 
Send-Off Dinner for the entering Fresh- 
men was a success, with 13 of the 17 boys 
on hand with their dads. Charles Doebler, 
Director of Admissions, gave an excellent 
talk as did Bob Seiple, one of the Ivy 
League's outstanding ends a year ago who 
is now a member of the Admissions staff 
at Brown. Approximately 50 were on 
hand. 

One of the high points of the evening 
was the appearance of Dan Howard '93, 
Brown's oldest living graduate, who re- 
ceived a standing ovation that lasted sev- 
eral minutes. Dan responded with a short 
talk in which he informed the Freshmen 
that Brown offered them an opportunity 
to obtain the very best education possible 
anywhere. 

University Speakers Listed 
University si'eakirs have been ob- 
tained for two future Club meetings. Dr. 
Elmer Blislein, Professor of Hnglish, will 
be the guest of honor at the combined 
dinner of the Brown and Pembroke Clubs 
of New Haven on Friday, Dec. 3. On Nov. 
30, alumni in the West Orange, N. J., 
area will gather to hear Cliff Stevenson, 
coach of the Brown soccer team. The af- 
fair will be held at Pal's Cabin in West 
Orange. 



Newport County Elects 
William R. Michael '38 has been 
elected President of the Brown Club of

Secretary, and Peter C. Petropoulos "40 as 
Treasurer. Lewis Abramson '33 is Chair- 
man of the Scholarship Committee. Secre- 
tary Ceglarski resides at 248 Wyatt Rd., 
Middletown. 

Battles Heads Los Angeles 
William H. Battles '39 was elected 
President of the Brown Club of Los 
Angeles July 20 at the regular monthly 
meeting. He succeeds Walter J. McLellan 
'43, who resigned due to the pressure of 



business after several years in the post. In 
the July election, Donald B. McLellan '50 
was elected Secretary-Treasurer and the 
Rev. Robert A. Tourigney '41 was elected 
Vice-President. Secretary McLellan's ad- 
dress is 2251 Hill Dr., Los Angeles 90041. 

New Haven Elects Prifty
