Alumni Field Day Aldrich- Dexter Field Saturday, June 3rd 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY JULY 1967 Masters had also received their recogni- tion and Dean Brennan announced: "Mr. President, I wish to report that 124 stu- dents have completed their degree require- ments and have permission to receive their diplomas in absentia." Someone in the audience was audible when he said. "Thank God!" Brunch plan A MINOR CRISIS occurred in connection with the reunion brunch which the Class of 1947 held in June at the Hope Club, that fine and rather particular haven in the Campus neighborhood. The Club has. you see, a rule that ladies are not al- lowed in the clubhouse before the dinner hour at night. The Manager thought he was covering the point when the '47 representative. Brown's Bursar Alan Maynard, was mak- ing the original arrangements, and gave the number who might be expected for the special morning meal. The Manager said: "Now I need to be sure — they're all gentle- men, aren't they'?" "Of course." Maynard replied with some firmness, thinking the decorum of men 20 years out of College was being challenged. Well, it all ended happily, but the Hope Club Governors had to have an emergency conversation when they learned that 1947 was including the wives in the brunch plans. The ensuing permission was revolu- tionary but graciously granted. And the "47 men were gentlemen. > it's no secret that there are fewer Professors in the files when the Com- mencement Procession returns to The Col- lege Green than there are in the march down to the Meeting House somewhat earlier in the morning. One member of the English Department had left his colleagues and was no longer in cap and gown as he watched the graduates pass before Horace Mann. One of his Pembroke students spied him as she went by. "'Vou've undressed!" she observed, not unobserved. > AT THE GRADUATION of a son Or daugh- ter, there is always a certain relief attend- ing the parent's pride. To one father. whose Senior daughter was his second to finish Pembroke, someone remarked what a "pretty party" the Class Night Dance was. He agreed and added: "Yes. it cost me $25,000. too." On the afternoon of Commencement Day, when the ceremonies were all over, we passed Slater Hall as a Brown Senior was getting help in packing the car. He paused long enough to say. "Thanks. Mom and Dad. for the car." And the father re- plied, "And for the four years, too, I presume." > ONE OF THOSE QUESTIONNAfRES went tO a member of a five-year Class, asking (among other things) whether his wife would be coming to the reunion. She wasn't. The blank also asked for her name. "Why should I tell you, when she won't be with me'?" was the answer. > THE LENGTHENING of the graduation ex- ercises is nowhere more apparent than during the awarding of graduate degrees, to some extent due to the fact that the Seniors have all been to the plaform by then, identified and given their diplomas. It was well after noon, then, when the new Too many in a pew? . . . > SOME SENIORS are wider than others, as Mrs. Nelson B. Record discovered at the rehearsal for the Commencement exercises in the First Baptist Meeting House. With so many graduating this year, she had something of a problem in seating them all but thought she had eased matters by as- signing seven Seniors to a pew. To her dis- may, it didn't work in a number of crowded cases, and some changes were in order. "1 thought there was room enough," she said later. "I had even taken seven Seniors down to the Church and pewed them." (Maybe the verb is not in any oflS- cial lexicon, but we liked it.) > WITH NO SHOW OF ORIGINALITY. Some- one at a Brown reunion said of a class- mate: "He hasn't changed a bit since Col- lege." A man who agreed with the observation added: "And don't you wish he would?" > AS UNDFRGRADUATES at Brown entered the exam period in May this year, each was surprised to receive a white paper bag containing nine items: an apple, an orange, chewing gum. raisins, nuts, cook- ies, a candy bar, a package of cheese and crackers, and Lifesavers. The University Food Service attached this label to each bag: "Survival Kit — Good Wishes and Success in Exams." > "MASSACRE YESTERDAY," said the head- line of a "comic supplement" of the Brown Daily Herald, which was brought to Alumni House 60 years after its issue. May 23, 1907. It featured an account of a purported baseball game between the "Lit- erary Magazine of Brown University vs. the Illiterate Ditto." and said the "Long hairs snowed the low-browed under in the annual sphere-swatting seance." Nowhere was the score mentioned, but someone had pencilled in: "Brunonian 11, Herald FRONT COVER COMMENCEMENT is the composite of thou- sands of individual responses to a vast, compli- cated festival. Thanks to the superb camera work of George Henderson and his staff at the Brown Photo Lab, we think we've been able to catch something of that identification. The Campus pho- tographers always turn in a bravura performance at Commencement. This year, don't you agree they outdid themselves? The engraver and printer, too? Here is your Commencement album. 10." The umpires were listed as "Everett '85 and Meiklejohn "93."' A sample of the reporting: "Chichester was fowl, but the second-string pitcher was Fowler." > SELIG GREENBERG '27, the Piovideiice Journal's outspoken specialist on medi- cine, has twice won the Albert Lasker Awards for his work and has a national reputation in the field. His daughter, who has just finished her Junior year at Rad- cliffe, recently told a Providence doctor that she was thinking of going to medical school. The doctor said: "What do you want to do, grow up and hate your father?" Yankee mechanic . . . > A DELIGHTFUL APPRECIATION of the late Prof. William H. Kenerson '96, which originally appeared in the Bulletin of Wash- ington's Cosmos Club, was reprinted in the March issue of the Broun Univcrsily Engineer. Mayo D. Hersey, Visiting Pro- fessor of Engineering (Research) con- cluded with this paragraph: "Will Kenerson was a Yankee mechanic of amazing skill. Two days before his death at the hospital, they were having ditliculty with a part of the oxygen mech- anism. Dr. Kenerson was thought to be in a deep coma, when he said to the tech- nician in a friendly voice, 'Just hand it to me, and I'll fix it for you.' " > IN OUR REPORT On an Alumni College in our May issue, we not only caught Prof. Harold W. Pfautz '40 with his head turned away from the camera, but we iden- tified this sociologist as a member of the Psychology Department, When we apolo- gized, he penned a reply: "After three years away from Brown (directing the Tougaloo- Brown program), I didn't mind being 'out of sight' (see photo), but I'm not certain that my friends and colleagues in the De- partment of Psychology would approve of my being 'in mind.' " > CARBERRY-coNscious ALUMNI and Others are often startled by headlines that seem to report on the famous Professor of Psycho- ceramics or members of his family. Mrs. Lawrence L. Durgin of New York, for ex- ample, sent us an item with the heading: "Jeanne Carberry Joins 'People.' " (Jeanne Carberry had opened in a show, "A Time for the Gentle People.") Mrs. Durgin wondered what possible connection of Josiah's this might be: "Haven't the Car- berrys always been 'people?' Especially ■gentle?' " Out in Colorado, Eugene M. Kay, Jr., '59 similarly spotted an item with several overtones: "Bears Will Help Dedicate New Carberry Field." The Bears were the Den- ver variety, however, not Brown's. But the field is in Ruby Park, at W. Jewell Ave. and Jason St. (You'll remember a com- panion of the Professor named Jason: He was always being bitten by animals whose names began with "A.") Have we ever told of the Valentine's Day gift of a subscription to Playboy? Ira W. Colton '67, the magazine's Campus representative, says it was to be addressed to Josiah Carberry at the Rockefeller Li- brary. The gift was from a student group called "Open Mind." > HIS GOWN WAS so LONG that One Senior in the 1967 Procession prompted this com- ment: "He's not so tall as his father was." {Continued on page 134) BOARD OF EDITORS Chairman C.

III Ill .Ir III ■;• III BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY r wii The Commencement Experience For all that massive complexity , it holds a meaning for each man REVELATION has come at last! After writing about Brown Commencements for a few years, we have found that . there is a way that will permit the conscientious editor to report properly on this June festival (this year it was Brown's 199th). All you need is a sensitive stringer to accompany each Senior through the events of the week end. Then you should have some other reporters, some of them not too young, each to be party to the acts, memories, thoughts, and emotions of each alumnus who has returned for his reunion. You will need to assign a staff writer to each Professor, someone skill- ful enough in interviewing to gain the confidence of the teacher at the end of a term. Getting the whole story from the Refectory stafl:, the Buildings and Grounds crew, the secre- taries, the musicians, the good citizens of Providence, the Trustees and members of the Administration, the Commence- ment Office, the postman, and the parents — you'll need a few correspondents to file that sort of thing. And, finally, save your 10 most agile legmen to be companion to the President for at least enough of the week end to get the feel of it. If the reporter you've assigned to any of the above cannot take his own pictures, better engage a photographer for each. And what will you bet you won't miss something at that? The point we're making is that a Brown Commencement is JULY 1967 THE MASS . . . . . . AND THE PARTICULAR a very personal affair, for all its awesome bulk. For all its pat- terns and traditions, to each participant, to each observer, it is something different, something special. And that is the way it should be and must be as long as the education which graduation honors continues a unique experience for each. Brown University Degrees for 1276 This June It was one of the larger Commencements, this one of 1967. There were degrees for 1276 — 903 Seniors from Brown and Pembroke, 373 graduate students, and 13 to receive the de- grees of honor. How many alumni came back, we have no way of knowing exactly, but they were many; we have reports on 35 reunions, for most classes, while emphasizing the quin- quennial, like them every June. It is an accepted thought that the old grad returns to look back while the senior looks ahead. We're sure the Class of 1967 looked ahead during this Commencement season, for graduate school is in the mind of nearly 80 per cent of them. But they, too, looked back, for they had spent four years at the lively place that is Brown today. All of us looked back at the weather, for it had been an horrendous Spring. But even the tradition of Commencement weather was observed, and we were grateful, marveling at the University's continued good fortune. After the weeks of cold and rain, the sun came out to bless the week end. It was fair for Friday night, when it mattered to the Seniors for their Campus Dance. They had the best of nights, and the crowd on The College Green under the lanterns had a won- derful time at that fabulous party. Redressed, the Campus was a concert hall the next night, for the Pops Concert, which the weather permitted again. That afternoon, the sun had burned down on the crowds at the Alumni Field Day at Aldrich- Dexter and on the reunion sport all around the Bay and in Rhode Island's five counties generally. On Sunday, there was no change, allowing the Seniors to march in comfort to the First Baptist Meeting House and their families to enjoy the President's Reception in the garden at 55 Power St. Would it continue for Monday? It did: Brown's luck prevailed, and the Seniors could graduate in the open air with some 9000 witnesses. 45 Years Since Rain Insurance Was Collected It last rained on a Brown Commencement in 1936. Before that it was 1922, whose graduates returned this June for their 45th reunion and recalled that their class was still using money received from rain insurance collected by the Senior Treasurer. When 1922 graduated (fortunately, they could all get into the Meeting House with their guests in those days), the oldest living alumnus said this was the first rainy Com- mencement since 1871. Unless we belatedly challenge his authority, it has rained just twice in 96 years of Brown Com- mencements. Let us count our 94 blessings and be humble in gratitude. There was "fair weather" indoors when good fellows got together at the Alumni Dinner, with their wives — about 1000 of us, and we were well served at table and by the program. It was a good way to begin the reunion season, dining with your contemporaries and their ladies. The preliminary Compotation in Hughes Court fulfilled its purpose well. too. Most Classes had tables at the Campus Dance later, while the numerals BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY "67" were proud and again old University Hall was lustrous with the 18th century "illumination." There's so much that's new to see on College Hill these days. But, at the end of the morning tours on Saturday, several hundred auditors enjoyed another "Hour with the Faculty." Actually, of course, you had your choice of two good sessions in Barus and Holley Hall. In one, two colleagues in the Brown Art Department shared the desk in Ress Auditorium to talk about "Art at Brown and CRIA." Profs. Bates Lowry and Fred S. Licht had both been principals in the famous adven- ture of setting up the Committee to Rescue Italian Art, but the audience was also interested in hearing about new pro- grams on College Hill as they were in the more spectacular side-effort. It was a matter of pride that Professor Lowry 's new appointment had just been announced (he leaves Brown in 1968 to become Director of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City). Town and gown will miss him. In Tanner Auditorium, the audience found another attrac- tive personality and another stimulating talk in Prof. Lyman B. Kirkpatrick. Jr., who could speak with authority on "The University and National Security." You could appreciate why students have found his courses so exciting, not only to Political Science majors but to others. The former Executive Director of the CIA lectures well and can draw on unusual experiences as well as scholarship. With one new book beyond the proof stage, he is at work on a second, by the way. They're Always Wandering Off at Field Day Under the sponsorship of the Association of Class Secretar- ies, the Alumni Field Day drew about 3500. It was a young crowd, predominantly, in what Joel Sekeres of the Providence Journal called "a happily disorganized tumult, with piercing Dixieland music, mountains of food, and oceans of beer and soda." Here are some other observations by the reporter: "For some, it was more than the 50th year they had returned to visit their Alma Mater. For others, barely adjusting to their new alumni status, it was their first. Few, if any, of the romping youngsters got lost. But, as it turned out, several of their parents did. Johnnie, a mischievous six-year-old, waiting near the bandstand, shook his head in exaggerated, embar- rassed rebuke: 'They're always wandering off.' " And with rea- son — there was so much to do, so many people to greet. Two sports events provided some sort of focus. The Old- Timers of Brown baseball, undefeated in outings against the Freshmen in 1965 and 1966, huffed and puffed their way to a 5-5 tie against the remnants of the year's Varsity. The alumni had such former stars in their lineup as Dr. Walter Jusczyk '41, Andy Anderson '50, and Earl Nichols '43, Ralph Wilcox '48, Phil Lapides '46, Alan Young '64, Jay Barry '50, Bob Brokaw '38, Bud Broda '59, Dick Tracy '46, and Charles Andrews '51. A group of Rugby tourists, the Clifton Club, upset the formidable Brown team, 15-8, before 1500 spectators, though the Bears had led at halftime. To show that this was no fluke, the visiting Englishmen returned to the same field on Sunday and downed the New England All-Stars, who included some of the Brunonians. Pops Disappointment — For Those Who Were Too Late While there was room for everyone at Aldrich-Dexter that glorious afternoon, the Commencement Pops Concert had been a sell-out more than a week beforehand. Though it was chilly, the clear night was more than acceptable, and the music again was a delight. Many more than the 3000 tickets at capac- ity could have had takers, but there just aren't tables enough available to accommodate more. This year, the concert, jointly sponsored by the Brown Club of Rhode Island and the Pembroke College Club of Provi- dence, was in honor of Pembroke's 75th Anniversary. The evening opened with some lighter classics by Wagner, Bizet, de Falla, and Tschaikowsky, with Francis Madeira conduct- ing the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra. Then the star of the evening, Anna Maria Alberghetti, appeared to captivate the large crowd with her numbers from opera and Broadway, a shrewdly selected program sung with skill and charm. As in other years, the crowd responded emotionally to Anderson's medley of "Brunoniana" by the Orchestra and sang the "Alma Mater" regretting that the night was not longer. The amplification, incidentally, was near perfection. Thomas J. Watson, Jr., '37 was Honorary Chairman for 1967, with a large list of patrons helping to make the evening a financial success. To the Chairmen, great credit: Mrs. Thomas H. Donahue, III, P'46 and Andrew M. Hunt '51; the Vice-Chairman were: Mrs. Howard G. Brown P'46 and Theodore F. Low '49. Alfred S. Reynolds '48 was Treasurer. The committees were headed by: Mrs. Walter A. Mengel P'38, music; Bernard V. Buonanno, Jr., '60, publicity; Peter T. Barstow '57, staging (he also handled the announcements professionally); James R. Gorham '54, tickets and printing; C. Edward Kiely '50, refreshments and service; Chancellor H. Stanford McLeod '16, patrons. To Mrs. Ormston C. Aldred P'50 and her committee, special appreciation for the fine decor. How quickly a three-year-old affair becomes a tradition and a "must" for the future. The Devotions of Commencement Sunday Sunday morning devotions included two services in Mann- ing Chapel. The Rev. Edward W. K. Mullen, Roman Catholic Chaplain, was the celebrant at the Commencement Mass at 10. Later that morning. Alumni Chapel was held for the ninth year, with the Rev. Samuel J. Wylie, Dean of the Gen- eral Theological Seminary in New York, preaching a fine sermon at Chaplain Baldwin's service. The onetime Episcopal Chaplain at Brown was to receive an honorary D.D. the next morning. The University was privileged to have a neighbor as its Baccalaureate Preacher Sunday afternoon. President William Paul Haas, O.P. of Providence College was the first Roman Catholic to occupy the pulpit of the First Baptist Meeting House for this Commencement service, speaking of "An End to Causes." To hear him, the Seniors from Brown and Pem- broke marched down Waterman St. from the Carrie Tower corner of Prospect. Parents and friends joined the Seniors at the Meeting House, while hundreds more listened to the broadcast of the Baccalaureate Service in the shady areas of The College Green. Following the Baccalaureate Service, another Brown tradi- tion was observed, with President and Mrs. Heffner receiving hundreds of guests in the garden of their Power St. home. It was their first such hospitality in their new surroundings, and they made more friends with their welcome. Dean Pierrel of Pembroke, Dean Schulze of Brown, and Dean Brennan of the Graduate School had their stations to share in the receiv- ing. (Continued on page 18) JULY 1967 THE DAY WAS JUNE 5, 1967.

It showed only briefly, for Professor Emeritus Robert H. George, acting as the conscience of the gathering, dashed up the long flights of stairs to demand removal of the poster. When he was challenged as to his authority, he mentioned some 40 years on the Brown Faculty and service in two wars. "There are times for protest," he said. "This is not one of them." The banner came down. The High Sheriff of Providence County did not leave his place on the platform before University Hall. 18 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Commencement Jottings THE FOUR OR FIVE MEN who Stand in the middle of the Commencement exercises and shout, "Licet et placet!" are members of the Board of Fellows. They thus announce their formal approval of the granting of degrees. When Dr. Keeney was summoned to the platform for his honorary degree, which they had helped to vote, they interpo- lated an unscheduled "Licet et placet" as a special endorse- ment. Two of the Seniors who received baccalaureate degrees at the 199th Commencement also earned Master's degrees at the same time. They are Roger M. Firestone of St. Paul and Sue Kathryn Williams of Fairfield, Conn. Firestone earned his A.B. with highest honors and an Sc.M. in Math, while Miss Williams took her degrees in French. They had been enrolled in a special program that permits exceptionally ca- pable students to begin work for their Master's in their Junior year and to complete requirements for everything in eight or nine semesters. Two Yale alumni were waiting for the Commencement Procession to form when they were greeted by a third. He was Wallace Campbell, who had brought Yale bulldog neck- ties up the Hill for Presidents Heffner and Brewster to wear that day. Of Pembroke's 1967 graduates, 55 were married or engaged to be — one of every six. Two thirds of the number had picked Brown men as husbands. Dean Pierrel reported. One of the couples had a romance which was literally set to music, and both graduated with honors: Robert S. Winter, 3rd, of Miami, Fla., and the former Ellen Turner of Glen Rock, N. J. Though both were majors in Music, they didn't meet until their Junior year when Miss Turner, a soprano, needed an accompanist for her recital on May 8, 1966. They were married four months later. Since Winter has three graduate fellowships, they will go to Europe, where he will study in Munich, Vienna, Paris, and Budapest. Later, they hope to enroll at Yale and eventually to teach. The Rt. Rev. C. Gresham Marmion, who came to Provi- dence for the graduation of his Pembroke daughter, Dana, is Episcopal Bishop of Kentucky. He preached at Grace Church on June 2 during his visit. One of the parishioners, John R. Stevens '21, reminded him that the first Bishop of Kentucky was Dr. Benjamin Bosworth Smith 1816, who later became "LICET ET PLACET." Fellows, left to right— John Nicholas Brown, W. Ran- dolph Burgess, Leonard Cormichael, and the Rev. Albert Thomas. JULY 1967 Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in America and received an honorary LL.D. from Brown in 1872. Remembering what the weather had been like before the fantastic turnabout in favor of the Brown Commencement, we read with amusement in the Williams Alumni Record that the local Adviser had printed this item in May: "The Registrar announces that Spring will not be offered this semester." The 1967 Commencement was unusual in that some of Brown's customary guests were missing. Of members of Con- gress from Rhode Island, only one was on hand; the newly- elected Representative Robert O. Tiernan. When the fighting in the Middle East broke out, the others hurried back to Washington. Senator John O. Pastore, a Trustee, had attended Saturday's Corporation meeting. Marks and Salaries Is A MAN WHO RANKED WELL academically in college apt to do well financially in later life? Fifteen years ago, the members of the Class of 1942 weren't so sure. At the time of their 10th reunion, returns from an anniversary questionnaire showed that men who had earned higher grade averages as students were making $500 a year less on the average than men who had the "gentleman's grade" of C or lower. Answers to another questionnaire, prepared for the 25th reunion in 1967, suggest that the trend has been reversed in the interval. Men who had the higher grade average through four years of college now command an annual salary higher than the poorer students. In the 15-year interval, the average salary has risen from $7,773 a year to $33,188. The average for the elite with straight A records is now $61,500. Forty-four men who received nothing below B's average $32,455 a year. In the other categories, these average salaries were reported: All C's or all C's and B's— $28,155. Lower grades— $27,461. The poll of 144 members of the Class of 1942 resulted in other findings, some not so surprising: In 25 years, the aver- age man has gained 3.1 inches around the waist, has added 16.1 pounds in weight, and lost 21.2% of his hair. Only five of those reporting are bachelors. Of 139 marriages, 135 are still going strong (one man is a widower, three have been divorced). The total of 391 children averages nearly three per couple; 203 were boys, 188 girls. While most couples have two children, two have seven apiece and two six. The '42 men have tended to stay with their jobs. The average for changes in employment is 2.9, as contrasted with the national average of 7. Politically, in 1952, fully 83% of the Class voted Repub- lican. In the 1964 election, however, 72 voted for Johnson, 59 for Goldwater, 14 abstained. Today, 37 of the 72 Johnson men plan to switch to the Republican candidate (15 of them favor Rockefeller, 12 of them Romney). Of those who con- tinue Democratic, 17 will stick with Johnson, 7 prefer Robert Kennedy, 5 will vote for someone else, 8 are undecided. Most Goldwater voters have changed their loyalties to the Nixon camp, ahhough some like Romney, Percy, or Rocke- feller. In response to one question on world politics, 69 indicated their belief that the United States should try for a military victory in Viet Nam, 41 would continue our present policy there, 17 favor immediate withdrawal. 19 AT THE ALUMNI DINNER: Dr. Heffner with Alexander A.

Heffner in his Report to the Corporation at the end of his first academic year as Presi- dent. While he elected to follow President Keeney's June custom in confining himself to events of the year, "some dis- cussion of the future may creep in," he acknowledged. The President's Report on June 3 dealt mainly with two matters: student participation in University government and the rumors of a financial crisis facing higher education in general and the independent university in particular. Those two sections of the Report are here shared with the alumni readers. Its specific recotnniendations were approved by the Corporation. By Ray L. Heffner IET ME INTRODUCE MY REMARKS on Student participation in University government by quoting from the report ^ of a very wise lady. Miss Rosemary Park, who is leaving the presidency of Barnard College. Miss Park said to her Trustees: "To some of the student generation, the idea that any institution might possess or strive for integrity seems little short of ludicrous. Integrity, they maintain, is a quality re- served for individuals and usually confined to the young. . . . The romantic anarchy of this student position should not be allowed to disguise the idealism at the core. The problem then, for any belabored administration, is to envision ways by which this demand for new forms of societal and educational experience can be channeled; otherwise the vocal part of the student generation will lay about it in destructive frustration, and the other, the quieter half, will never rouse itself suffi- ciently from its daily tasks to survey its goals and the direction of its society." The Committee Had a Major Responsibility With similar thoughts in mind, I appointed last fall an Advisory Committee on Student Conduct. I asked the Deans of the College, Pembroke College, and the Graduate School to serve on this Committee, though I knew it would take a good deal of their time. I asked three Faculty members: Prof. Henry Kucera, Chairman of Slavic Languages and former Head Resident Fellow; Prof. Erwin C. Hargrove of Political Science, the present Head Resident Fellow; and Prof. C. Peter Magrath, also of Political Science and former Associate Dean of the Graduate School, whom I asked to serve as Chairman. I also asked three students to serve: Mr. Peter Billings, then President of the Cammarian Club; Miss Susan Semonoff. then President of the Student Government Association; and Mr. Dickran Tashjian, an alumnus of the College, a graduate student in American Civilization, and a Resident Fellow at Pembroke. I asked this group of nine to consider the relationship be- tween student conduct and the general aims of the University; to study the present state of student conduct at Brown; to examine the present rules and the mechanisms for amending and enforcing these rules at the College, Pembroke College, and the Graduate School; and then to make recommendations to the appropriate authorities. Due largely to the leadership of Professor Magrath, — the Committee's approach to its task was admirably thorough, scholarly, and dispassionate. With the assistance of Prof. Harold Organic of the Sociology Department, questionnaires were prepared and distributed to a sampling of students, Faculty members, parents of students, and both recent and older alumni. Testimony was heard from a variety of Campus groups. Long and frequent meetings were held. Through this process, members of the Committee came to have profound respect for each other. It was evident that students. Faculty members, and Deans shared the same ideals for the University and could come to substantial agreement on specific recommendations. This agreement was not pro- duced by log-rolling and compromise but by rational analysis, in which all participated. The Committee submitted its report to me and to the Uni- versity community on May first. The Faculty held two meet- ings, one informal and one formal, to discuss the report. At the second of these meetings, an eloquent motion by Pro- fessor Juan Lopez-Morillas expressed wholehearted approval of the spirit and substance of the report; it was unanimously adopted by the Faculty. The Cammarian Club and Student Government Association also passed motions of complete approval. Even the Brown Daily Herald, not to mention the Pembroke Record, expressed editorial approbation. The Ad- visory and Executive Committee at its May meeting discussed the recommendations at some length, addressed several ques- tions to Professor Magrath and the Deans, and then voted its general approval instructing me to prepare a vote for sub- mission to you today. Factors that Influenced Their Philosophy In general, its recommendations fall into four categories: First, it articulates a general philosophy of student conduct, emphasizing that students are not entirely mature at the moment they enter college, that the University community consists of more than its student members and has obliga- tions beyond its walls to a still broader community. Rules are necessary, therefore, but they should be graduated to fit the advancing maturity of the student body. Secondly, the Committee, drawing on its own experience of harmonious and rational discussion, recommends that a con- tinuing body consisting of students, Faculty members, and Deans be given major responsibility to recommend new rules and changes in the rules and also be given alternative judicial authority over student-conduct cases where the extreme pen- alty of suspension or dismissal may be involved. Thirdly, the Committee recommends that standards of fair JULY 1967 23 A - .,*- :m7 -«c»2r*'«^. ^ * ..?■:«.*:/»;•« '\^f*.4i•¥'ishes, a M'arning Bell Sounds First, then. I say ••farewell" in the name of your Professors and your Departments, of the Graduate School, and of Brown University. You will soon cease to be members of the student body and will become graduates. You will leave this Campus, which holds so many memories for you, and will find yourself in new and challenging environments. We shall miss you. We wish you success and happiness. But. along with these good wishes, there sounds a warning bell. Recently I read an article with the ambiguous title, ■■E.\aminations: The End of Education?" (I hope you noted the question-mark.) You are now in a sense living illustra- tions of one possible meaning of that title — namely, that be- cause you have finished your formal education, you are there- fore educated. Of course the author did not mean this, and I am sure you do not believe it. One's education is never complete. The inevitable story illustrates the point: During the 1939-45 war, Bomber Harris, the chief of R.A.F. Bomber Command, had his headquarters some 20 miles or so from Oxford. On one occasion, he was invited to dine in one of the Oxford Colleges. As chance would have it, he found himself seated next to a man who was one of the most dis- tinguished philologists of his generation. What took place between them was subsequently revealed by the philologist to one of his post-war classes. "During a lull in the conversation," said the philologist, "I turned to Harris and said, 'Harris, I've often wondered about the word "prang" you Air Force chaps use. I believe it means "an aircraft crash." ' " 'Yes,' said Harris noncomittally, taking a sip of claret. " 'Harris,' I said (went on the philologist), 'I've often won- dered whether the word "prang" was connected with the Middle High German word "pringan." ' " Here the distin- guished philologist paused, looked around his class, and said sadly, ••Bomber Harris didn't know." The Tendency to Over-Examine the Student What, then, did the author mean by his title, •'Examina- tions: The End of Education?"? He was making an attack on the tendency to over-examination in schools and universi- ties. He may therefore have been asking two questions: First — Is the aim of modern education to teach people to pass ex- aminations? Second — Is the examination system destroying education in the true sense of the word? Long ago Lewis Carroll wrote: "This Upas-tree of com- f)etitive examinations! Beneath whose deadly shade all the original genius, all the exhaustive research, all the untiring lifelong diligence by which our forefathers have so advanced human knowledge, must slowly wither away, and give place to a system of cookery, in which the mind is a sausage, and all we ask is, how much indigestible food can be crammed into it!" These remarks still bite today. As the amount of sheer factual knowledge increases, the amount of time left for just ''sitting and thinking" decreases. In this connection. I should like (if I may be so bold) to comment on one aspect of the system at Brown which I have found disturbing: the short gap between semesters. The last day of examinations in Semester I 1967 was Friday 27 Jan- uary; Semester II classes began on Wednesday 1 February. Such a gap does not give teachers or pupils time to recover physically or mentally, let alone time to prepare constructively for the second semester. I know that a reorganization of the academic year at Brown is being discussed. It may perhaps be worth considering whether Semester II could begin with a reading pwriod in which broadly-delineated preparatory reading for the semester would be done. I feel quite sure that those with whom I have had the privilege of working in Old English during this semester would have achieved even more than they did — and with much less strain — if they had had time to work through the Old English poem Beowulf in the original before classes be- gan. As it was, they were faced each week by some 300 lines of new translation. This was not only time-consuming. It also meant that they were not in a position to criticize and ap- preciate the poem as a whole until the end of the semester. Important areas of Old English studies had to be passed by because members of the class were still wrestling with dif- ficulties of translation which could have been overcome much earlier. (Similar reading might also be desirable in prepara- tion for Semester I, at least in the Graduate School, though I recognize here the existence of economic and other diffi- culties.) "Outraged Science Takes Her Revenge" But that was by way of digression from the article about examinations. In defense of his views, its author quoted a remark made by Thomas Huxley about some of his pupils more than 50 years ago: "They work to pass, not to know; and outraged science takes her revenge. They do pass — and they don't know." The time is not far distant when some of you will play an active part in shaping and administering educational pro- grams. I do hope that you will consider carefully whether the real aim of education is being achieved by any program you may inherit or initiate. I hope, too, that you will not fall victim to that disease which unfortunately seems to be on the increase among academics: the tendency to despise teach- ing and to neglect pupils because of the growing burden of administration, the understandable attractions of consulta- tive posts, and the increasing pressure to publish. And now I say, "Ave! Hail!" Today is your Commence- ment. Why "Commencement"? What commences or is com- menced? The use seems to stem from the Latin verb incipere ("to commence, begin") and the related noun inceprio ("commencement, beginning"). In the Oxford English Dic- tionary we find it described as the "act of taking the full degree of Master or Doctor." This sense, first attested in 1387, is very appropriate here today. The Dictionary then quotes a sentence written in 1587: "In Oxford this solemnitie is called an Act. but in Cambridge they use the French word Commencement." As an Oxford man, I must (I suppose) regret that you follow the usage of "the other place." It was apparently from the same place that the wider mean- ing of the word spread to the U.S.A. I have not so far been able to trace any dictionary reference to support the notion 28 BROWN ALUMNI iMONTHLY that on Commencement Day graduates "commence" their adult life. But this popularly-held view is, of course, also very appropriate. It is presumably this sense of the word which is responsible for the tradition that speakers at such gatherings should give advice to the graduands they are addressing. This I do briefly, with misgivings and humility. I offer first a few points of practical advice which will not, I hope, seem impertinent. I do not wish to press upon you the old saw, "Early to bed and early to rise / And your girl goes out with other guys." But I should like to stress the im- portance of health and physical fitness and the wisdom of observing the weekly day of rest and of allowing time for stock-taking and thought. So far, so good. But, after I had penned these sentences, the dilemma "What to say?" returned more strongly than ever. In desperation I searched for appropriate advice on desk-calendars, wayside pulpits, and teabags. One contribution from a television serial I was forced to reject: The captain of the space-ship gave the command, "Don't talk. Don't think. Don't breathe." As a reviewer pointed out, this was good advice and perhaps the best way for an adult to watch the show. But it is a poor recipe for life. However, three other "messages" are perhaps worth passing on. First, "It's better to open your mouth and be thought a fool than to keep it shut and be one." In my boy- hood days in Australia, I always heard this attributed to Abraham Lincoln; now I believe this to be doubtful. But there is a serious point here. When you don't understand, ask instead of sitting silent and hoping that everything will work out. It usually doesn't. Second, as a corrective to the first, "You can never exercise an open mind and an open mouth at the same time." Don't be- come a compulsive talker at committees and meetings. As the old saw has it, "Wait until you have something to say. Say it. Shut up." How silent some meetings would be if all present did this! Some Promptings from a Coffee Mug Third and last, a most valuable piece of advice picked up from a coffee mug in Washington, D. C. : "As you move along life's pathway / Whatever be your goal / Keep your eye upon the doughnut / And not upon the hole." This seems to be saying some useful things: Be an optimist. Think how lucky, happy, well-off you are, rather than how much luckier, happier, better-off the other fellow is. Don't spoil the work or miss the joys of today through worrying about the difficul- ties or sorrows tomorrow may hold. Be a positive, rather than a negative thinker. Say to yourself, "How can I do this?" rather than "I can't do this because. . . ." Don't resent con- structive criticism or take it too personally. Try to see the other man's good qualities. Try to see what he does right as well as what he does wrong. Do not spend irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances which you and everybody else will have completely forgotten in a year's time; as Disraeli is supposed to have said, "Life is too short to be little." But when the coffee mug said, "Whatever be your goal," it begged the important question. What is your goal? This is a decision you will have to make. Health? Wealth? Service to others? Happiness? Whose happiness? You must decide how steadfastly or how ruthlessly you will pursue your chosen goal. Take care, however, that the fate of Schwartz and Hans in John Ruskin's The King of the Golden River does not overtake you; take care that, in winning your prize, you do not lose things of real value. I do not wish to cast a gloom over this joyous occasion. But I am a victim of reading Old English poets, who were much preoccupied with the transience of life. As one says, "For a little while the leaves are green / Then they turn yellow, fall to earth / And perish, turning to dust. / So it is with men." Just as the leaves which now beautify our Campus will fall when autumn comes, so we in our time must pass from the world. But this is no reason for pessimism or despair. On the con- trary, it is a reason for remembering "That education brings privilege, that privilege carries responsibility, that responsi- bility includes service." What Happens When "Good Men Do Nothing" You belong to a group which will supply the future leaders of your country and of the world. It is a world which is making vast and terrifying strides in technology and knowl- edge. Yet it is a world where each night half the inhabitants go to bed hungry, where each day ten thousand die as the result of malnutrition. It is a world where men must learn to live in peace with man if the human race is to survive. It is the world of Expo 67, which (in the words of Richard Buckle) is taking Man — thoughtless, pleasure-loving, exhibi- tion-going Man — by the scruff of the neck and saying, "Listen, sweetheart, after a few thousand years of sharpening your flint axes, beating your wives or neighbors, digging for truffles, following rivers to the sea, scratching on the wall of your cave . . . and wondering what the time is, this is just how far you've got. You have produced Michelangelo, penicillin. Freud, social security, and Einstein; you have penetrated to the Poles, crawled on the bottom of the sea, spread your wings in space; you can feed the hungry, heal the sick, and adorn your leisure with the lively arts; but half the world is unproductive and half its people starving; difference of belief prevents nations from working together to share the benefits of experience; you have learnt how to destroy your planet. Do you care?" Do we care? I hope we do. Yet what can we do about it? This is to me perhaps the most terrifying thing of all — the ap- parent helplessness of the thinking, caring individual in the world today. But we cannot give up and do nothing; evil flourishes precisely because good men do nothing. We can respond by doing our everyday tasks to the best of our ability, and by accepting those responsibilities in the community and in the country which we have been trained to accept, and which Life will unquestionably thrust upon us. We can respond by recognizing and helping others to recog- nize — before it is too late — what a preacher recently called "the grim necessity of the brotherhood of man." It is a brotherhood we must practise in our own immediate neigh- borhoods and in our own countries before it can spread through the world. We can respond by remembering that the transience of life and the plight of the world are not reasons for inactivity and despair. They are reasons for making the best of what we have and of what we are, and for giving the best possible lead to those around us. As the Anglo-Saxon poet of Beowulf said over a thousand years ago, "Bnic ealles wel" (make good use of everything). I am confident that you will make good use of everything, especially if you bear in mind the motto of the University from which you are about to graduate: "In Deo Speramus."

THE HOOD: It entoils much, signifies much. JULY 1967 31 One of Our 8-Balls Is Missing PRESIDENT Emeritus Barnaby C. Keeney received more than an honorary LL.D. when he mounted the Commence- ment platform at Brown this year. Secreted in the doctoral hood was an eight-ball. TTie engineer of the coup was Milton E. Noble "44, Registrar of the University, who slipped the eight-ball into the tail of the hood just before the Secretary of the Faculty, Prof. Richard A. Dobbins, put it over Dr. Keeney's head. There were wide smiles on the platform which the degree- recipient did not understand until later. But, as an avid player in noontime games at the Faculty Club during his presidency, he could appreciate the appropriateness of this special "inside" award. Registrar Noble says, "We wanted to remind Mr. Keeney of his old pool table. This time the eight-ball was behind him." The Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities has made no move to return the trophy. In a set of balls at the Faculty Club, the eight-ball is curiously missing. A Chaplain's June Petitions THE PRAYERS of Brown's Chaplain, the Rev. Charles A. Baldwin, are never perfunctory, although the occasions are many on which he is called upon. Among his prayers of the Commencement season, these were particularly admired: The Invocation: Each new day is thine, O Lord God our Father — every moment is thine and every hour — but some moments are more than others; some occasions higher, and some freight a more eternal meaning. This is such a moment for us, and so we ask thy presence here to change an ancient ceremony to a time of turning, that our lives may not again be the same. We cannot come to Thee this day fully glad about our past. We have made more mistakes than we can count or like to remember. We have done shoddy work and made fools of ourselves; we have been disloyal to parents and friends: we have treated persons as things; we have pursued causes with- out sympathy; and spent ourselves complaining about food and personal pleasures while armies fight and nations starve. If Thou canst, forgive us; set us on a new course; and wake us daily to the task of reconcUing men and nations, and living such a way we may not be ashamed. And give us. Father, a will to grow; to disagree without hating; to fight a cause without condemning; to better out- selves without stepping on others; to love without possessing; and to serve without expecting thanks. How can we rightly thank thee, O Lord, for our years at Brown? Here we could question anything and be taken seri- ously; we could play and not be thought foolish; dream and not be thought dumb, make mistakes and not ruin our life and grow surrounded by concern. We came here with a lot going for us and we leave with even more. So, how shall we thank thee, save by off'ering our lives for those who have no helpers? Give us a will to do that, O God. Amen. The Intercession: Lord God, it is a time to remember and a time to hope, and not for ourselves only but for the whole world. Wars and threats of wars daily plague us, and peace so desired eludes our grasp, blocked by ancient hatreds, stub- bornness, and pride. Remember in thy mercy those who fight and those who refuse to fight — those who kill and those who die — and especially the President and all others who carry the burden of decision. Father, we have not always been glad in our families: but we pray for each other now. thankful for support and love and even discipline, and hopeful of a rich future. We pray for all in this place who during these years have lost someone they loved, and we look to thy promise that at the end that love will be fulfilled. We pray for this University. Let our controversies be like lovers' quarrels where, in the fighting, love is never lost sight of and there is always hope for a new future. Guide and 32 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY sustain the President, the Deans, the Facuhy, all who search and teach and plan. And, if we here even once have been thrilled by discovery or beauty or a glimpse of truth, then keep that thrill alive in us and keep us searching always. Merciful God and gracious, we remember colleagues and friends who entered these gates with us and will not pass through again — those who have failed or failed themselves; those who have died in body or in soul; those who are ab- sent to fight our wars. In thy grand memory, give them place when our memories will fail; and keep us all in company with one another all the days of our life; for Christ's sake. Amen. Voluntary ' Subscribers' Appearing two months late, an April Fool issue of the "Brown Daily Herald" at Commencement said we were going to charge $10 for this magazine. Don't believe it. ALTHOUGH the Brown Aluinni Monthly is sent free to all Brown men, some of our readers continue the pleas- L ant practice of making contributions toward its op- eration. The University appropriation for the magazine is a generous one, justified as an investment in informed good will. Over the past 12 years, such "subscribers" have financed an occasional extra, a color cover, more pages or more pic- tures. From some 1000 alumni such donations have come, to be received with appreciation. During the past year our benefactors have included the fol- lowing: Jerome S. Anderson, III, '31, Woodstock, Vt. G.

The Case of the Guilty Diploma THOUGH Commencement is long past, Brown Seniors of the Class of 1967 have yet to receive their diplomas. What President Heffner handed each graduate in June is only a curio, but a unique one. Such was the outcome of an episode which warrants the name of "The Case of the Guilty Sheepskin." Some changes had been made in the wording of the Univer- sity diplomas this year, and the processed version on the di- plomas was found to contain a grammatic error in the Latin. President Heffner and John Nicholas Brown, Secretary of the Corporation, couldn't bring themselves to sign under "bad Latin," with the result that only unsigned souvenirs were given to the Seniors on Commencement Day. A proper diploma will be sent each when it is received this summer. In spite of con- ferences and phone calls, the error could not be corrected for the season, as the President duly explained at Senior Dinners at Pembroke and Brown. Dr. Heffner challenged the Seniors, in the meantime, to spot the mistake, as you may care to try in this transcript of the sinning document: "Universitas Brimensis, Providentiae in Rhodiensis Insulae Republica: Omnibus has litteras lecturis saluteni in domino sempiternam. vobis notus sit quod Praeses Universitatis cimi auctoritate a sociis honorandis ei commissa publicis in comi- tiis decoravit (the Senior's name) gradum Baccalaureato in Scientia Praecipue Ingeniaria (for example) et hiiic omnia privilegia et honores et insignia lis ad hunc gradum evectis pertinentia fruenda dedit. Cuius in rei testimonium nos his litteris Universitis sigillo munitis nomina nostra subscripsimus, datum in solemnibus acadcmicis Providentiae habitis die quinto iimii annoque Domini Nostri MCMLXVII." (The guilty word is the first after the Senior's name. "Gra- dum" should not be the accusative; it should be "gradu.") At the Senior Dinner, Dean Schulze announced that a new organization called CRUD had been formed to cope with the emergency. It was the Committee to Rescue University Diplomas. A week later in the town of Barrington. R. I., too, the high school diplomas turned up with a misspelled word. "The situa- tion seems to be fashionable this year," said the Superintend- ent. "If Brown can make a mistake, why can't we?" JULY 1967 33 HUGHES COURT and a still armless Caesar. The time on June 2 was 7:10. BENEDICTORIAN: The Rev. Charles H. Ricker '13 of Sarasota, Flo.

JULY 1967 35 THE ALUMNI DINNER: The Composite Reunion IN THE CURIOUS COMPOUND of the Collective and the per- sonal that is Commencement, even its major events show those two sides. The Alumni Dinner is one of them. Here there are nearly 1000 of us together, husbands and wives. W'ith tables that stretch down four sides of the odd square within the square, and into some overflow rooms. Many diners never see the head table, for they're on the far side of Sharpe Refectory. And yet the vastness of the Alumni Dinner somehow becomes a family affair, with your table companions the ones who count — and those you visit on one of those rambles, perhaps to the tables where the Emeriti Professors await your greeting. You sing a little; you talk a lot; you dine well; and then you watch and listen. It's the start of the reunion season. June 2. the "reunion of all the reunions" which brings together those who belong together, in spite of (perhaps because of) the special bonds each Class and each coterie elicit. The big dinner somehow breaks down to the smaller intimacy. But there is a program, of course. As far as programs go, the Alumni Dinner has a pretty modest one, on paper. There was an invocation, which the Rev. Charles H. Ricker '13 of Sarasota gave this year; he said what was in the hearts of most. The two major Reunion Classes presented anniversary^ gifts of noble proportions — very personal that sort of giving is. The Associated Alumni, having chosen three loyalists from many for special honor, bestowed it as part of the evening. This was the annual awarding of Brown Bears, back to the norm this year, after the bonuses of the Bicen- tennial and the single citation of President Keeney in 1966. A few election results were communicated — after all, this is the "annual meeting" of the Association. And then the men and women settled back to get better acquainted with the new President, who was the only speaker of the evening. He had a simple story to tell, mostly about those first 11 months at Brown and distinctly personal, a friendly sort of talk that managed to give you quite a bit of news and comment. Passing the Symbol of Leadership For the presiding oflficer. Donald Campbell '45. the eve- ning was not without sentiment. He'd completed two good years as President of the Associated Alumni, and his last official act was to put the presidential cane in the hands of his successor. Alexander A. DiMartino '29, a gesture that symbolized the transfer of leadership. As they applauded this ceremony, the deputies in the hall thanked Campbell for effective work on behalf of 26,000 Brunonians and their Uni- versity; they gave the new President reason to feel their sup- port for the two years ahead. "Let me compliment you on your choice of officers," Presi- dent Heffner said in his address later. "I have come to know both Don Campbell and Alex DiMartino well during the course of the year. Both have worked hard and will continue to work hard in your service and for the University." Such was the essence of the evening, before the diners went back to their smaller reunions or to the massive gaiety of the Campus Dance. It started with a general Compotation in Hughes Court; it ended with the Alma Mater, which an individual feels as he sings at a moment like this. The committee that made the evening possible was com- posed of: Chairman Joseph C. Johnston, Jr. '53, RoUand H. Jones '49, Theodore F. Low '49. Robert M. O'Day '50, James R. Gorham '54, and Paul F. Mackesey '32. Patterns discernible THE TRUISM that a university stands or falls on the qual- ity of its alumni is certainly true of Brown," President Heffner said in his first address at an Alumni Dinner. "From what I have seen, we shall stand tall and proud for a good while to come. To a University President, you are a sheer delight. Your enthusiastic interest in everything the University does, your hunger for more and more news about what the Faculty and student body are doing, your willing- ness to criticize in a friendly way when we may have done something wrong — all are remarkable." Dr. Heffner's first 1 1 months in office had been busy ones for Brown, he told the alumni. "At times it has seemed to me that events marched so rapidly that there was little opportu- nity to step back and see where the parade was going or who was calling the tune. But there have been some discernible patterns; on the whole, it has been a time for productive thought as well as action in the University community." The year started off. "not with a bang of dynamite but with the skritch of spades in the earth" in July when Brown broke ground for the new Bio-Medical buildings and opened the campaign for some $17,100,000 of funds needed for our pro- gram of medical education. Since then, the President said, there had been "significant progress" towards our goal, though much hard work remains. Dr. Heffner cited the accomplish- ments of G. William Miller, National Chairman for this de- velopment campaign, and such associates as Harry H. Burton '16, Elwood E. Leonard, Jr. '51. Gordon E. Cadwgan '36, and Richard Salomon '32, backed up by the Development Council under its National Chairman, Charles C. Tillinghast, Jr. '32. "I myself have met fairly often," said Dr. Heffner. "not only with these dedicated workers in the vineyard but also with officers of foundations and corporations, to whom I have been happy to tell the exciting story of Brown's unique program. I am especially pleased that the Commonwealth Fund has given us a grant of $600,000 for interim support of the program, that the Rhode Island Hospital Trust Com- pany has made a very fine pledge of $120,000, and that other foundations and corporations, as well as individuals, are showing a gratifying enthusiasm for the project.

College with appropriate but modest fanfare all year long," the President continued. "I have seized the occasion to talk whenever I could to Brown men about the stature and sig- nificance of Pembroke College, and to Pembroke alumnae about the importance of their firm position in Brown Uni- versity. I hope that neither group really needed a word from a new President to be convinced. "I have met during the year with Brown Clubs in Boston, Providence, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Palm Beach, St. Petersburg, Cleveland, Chicago, and Detroit. Everywhere the hospitality has been warm, and I have been impressed by the enthusiastic devotion of Brown alumni to their Alma Mater. "The message I have been carrying to these Clubs is simply of the increasing pride I feel in our University as I come to know it better, especially in its unity and coherence in this day of specialization and fragmentation, and in its vitality as a source of new educational ideas. The most remarkable thing about Brown is its ability to engage in cre- ative innovation within a clearly-conceived tradition of liberal studies and the highest scholastic standards. Innovation with- out the guiding principles of tradition and a coherent philos- ophy can be aimless; tradition without the quickening energy of new approaches can be sterile. At Brown I find an excit- ing combination of the old and the new." Dr. Heffner said he had been struck by the loyalty and dedication of members of the Brown Faculty. "We lose a few Faculty members each year to other institutions, and a small amount of this is healthy," he suggested. "But, on the whole. Faculty members remain with us for long periods of service, despite very tempting offers from outside." Noting the retirement of Profs. Arlan R. Coolidge '24 and William R. Benford '27, Dr. Heffner said: "As much as I am impressed with the devotion and significant contributions of men like Professors Benford and Coolidge, I am equally impressed with the high quality of the new members of the Faculty whom we are bringing in at all ranks." He reported to the Corporation the next day the appointment of 12 new Professors and 1 1 new Associate Professors. A review of alumni activity brought special appreciation from the President of the University to Francis S. Quillan '33 and his colleagues on the Steering Committee of the Secondary Schools Program, as well as to all who worked with them. Alumni and a "Superb" Group of Freshmen "We had an especially fine group of applicants for the Class of 1971," Dr. Heffner reported. "Although the total number of applicants was down from 4910 of last year to about 4798 and though we hoped to have a Class of 700-720 instead of the 625 we took last year, the total group of appli- cants were so superb, in both academic and personal qualifi- cations, that the decisions were, if possible, harder than ever. And the students who were accepted chose to come to Brown in larger numbers than had been the case in recent years; the waiting list was abolished, and 765 students indi- cated that they will be here. We expect this to shake down to about 735 by September — somewhat more than we bar- gained for, but we can take care of them." "Magnificent" was the word Dr. Heffner used to describe alumni recognition of University needs and their response to the challenge of new opportunities. With major help from its alumni. Brown met the goals set by the Bicentennial Cam- paign and two Ford Foundation grants. The Ford Foundation has eliminated its program of large challenge grants, so that "there is no possibility of a third round of just that kind." But new opportunities are arising and need to be explored, the President said. University officers will spend the summer in sustained attention to Brown's long-range plans. Resources and capital needs will be projected for another 10 years, just as was the case in preparing for the Ford grants. "By this time next year, and perhaps at an earlier date," Dr. Heffner concluded, "I should be able to give you a much more accurate picture of what the future might hold for us." JULY 1967 37 REUNION GIFTS were hailed at the Alumni Dinner. Spokesmen for their Class'JS were Joseph F. Lockett, Jr., '42 (left) and Thomas B. Appleget '17 (central figure — in more ways than one — above). The Fund's Fine Year THOUGH THE FuND YEAR was far from over, those at the Alumni Dinner applauded the news of results to June 2, for it was good. Total giving by the alumni to date was Sl.446,796— a gain of $413,622 (40%) over June 30, 1966. Workers for the Brown University Fund, with a month still to go on May 31, had raised $278,887 in unrestricted cash and pledges, an increase of $33,564 (14%) over last year's final figure in this category. In addition, miscellaneous (specific purpose) gifts from alumni had been received in the amount of SI. 143, 827, topping last year's total by a very impressive $355,976 (up 45.4% ). President Heffner told the Fund story to the alumni near the end of his address at the dinner in Sharpe Refectory: Gifts, grants, and bequests to Brown for the first 1 1 months of the fiscal year amounted to $9,692,994 (exclusive of sponsored research but including pledges due before June 30). Citing the alumni totals. Dr. Heffner said: "This evi- dence of your support for the programs at your University is most heartening, and I am most grateful for it. "Thanks to your efforts, and to those of our very able Treasurer and Investment Committee, we are in sound finan- cial condition. I expect the reports at tomorrow's Corporation meeting to show some very worthwhile gains in both princi- pal and income from endowment funds." In terms of participation by alumni, the Brown University Fund, at the beginning of June, was a couple of points ahead of the 30% figure achieved in 1966, with gifts still coming in. "This is a very healthy result," the Fund Office reported to National Chairman Joel Davis '56. "With the books open for another month, there is a very good likelihood that the Fund's Annual Report will show this as our biggest year yet." (We'll have the figures for you in our first issue in the fall.) Two fine anniversary gifts were presented at the Alumni Dinner. As Class President and Gift Chairman for the 25- Year Class, Joseph F. Lockett, Jr., '42 announced that his classmates had contributed $103,287 as of June 1. Other gifts from '42 men amounted to $1,938, and the Ford Foundation had matched eligible amounts with another $25,125. Thus, the Class of 1942 had brought $130,350 to Brown with its anniversary year still not over. Even more spectacular was the announcement by Dr. Thomas B. Appleget on behalf of 1917, which presented a record-breaking 50th reunion gift. "Five years ago," he said, "the Class of 1917 set out to increase our Class Fund from $13,802 (which was the principal balance on June 30, 1962) to a nice round figure of $50,000. This we hoped to achieve on the occasion of our 50th reunion. "Not only have the members of our Class directed their giving toward this goal, but some have contributed heavily to the development program and other miscellaneous pro- grams. I have added up the gifts of our little group for these five years and am delighted to tell you, Mr. President, that our concerted efforts have produced $142,517 for Brown. Some of our gifts were made during the period of the Ford Foundation challenges and thus generated an additional $65,- 806 of matching funds as a bonus." The 50-Year Class could thus take satisfaction in an aggregate of $208,323, given or generated by its gifts. Rounds of applause greeted each of the announcements. At the start of June, five Classes had already cracked the 75% participation bracket, the Fund Office reported. They are 1905, with George B. Bullock as Head Agent; 1909, John 38 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY H. Wells; 1912, Kenneth J. Tanner; 1913, George T. Metcalf; and a newcomer to the ranks of the heavy hitters, 1924, headed by Agent M. Randolph Flather. By June 1, 47 Classes had already exceeded the final par- ticipation levels of the previous year, and it appeared that at least six others were sure bets to join this distinguished group. The Classes ahead of 1966, with a month's clean-up remain- ing, were: 1895, 1896, 1899, 1901, 1902, 1905, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1920, 1921, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1932, 1933, 1934, 1935, 1936, 1937, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1957, and 1958. You can see that the word for 1966-67, thanks to a very loyal and generous group of alumni, really is UP! Heading the Parents Committee of the Fund David L. Yunich, president of Macy's New York, has been acting as chairman of Brown University's Parents Commit- tee, which undertakes the enrollment of parents of under- graduates in the annual-giving program of the University. Peter B. Yunich, his son, is a Senior majoring in classics. The father is a Director of the Prudential Insurance Co. of America; the R. H. Macy Co., Inc.; Macy's New York; the East River Savings Bank; the National Retail Merchants As- sociation; the Commerce and Industry Association of New York; and President of the Metropolitan New York Retail Merchants Association. A former professional baseball player in the Cincinnati Reds organization and farm system, he was formerly President of Bamberger's New Jersey from 1955-62, a member of the Board of Governors and a Trustee of Rut- gers University, and Vice-Chairman of the Tax Policy Com- mission of the State of New Jersey. Long active in civic affairs, he is a member of the Com- mission for the City of New York, a Trustee of the Carnegie Hall Corporation, a Director of the Greater New York Fund, a Trustee of the Educational Broadcasting Corporation (Chan- nel 13), and a Director of the Metropolitan Regional Plan Association and of the National Council for Good Cities. In 1964, his Alma Mater, Union College, conferred on him an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. He was the 1961 recipient of the National Brotherhood Award of the National Con- ference of Christians and Jews. "He never forgets his Alma Malerl" Will He Be Ready? IF YOU HAVE A SON who will qualify for entrance to college in the fall of 1968, it is nearly time to act. Again, it is our pleasure to remind you of the Early Decision Plan that affects sons of alumni. By calling attention to EDP, we are making an effort to assure outstanding Brown sons of a position in the Class of '72 and afford them the opportunity of carrying on a family tradition on College Hill. Application under the Early Decision Program is rec- ommended by the Committee on Admission for those candi- dates who have shown considerable academic and personal strengths throughout their first three years of preparatory work, and who are willing to commit themselves early to a single choice. How does the Early Decision Program work for sons of alumni? Those who wish to be considered under this pro- gram should apply shortly after they have completed their Junior year in school — no later than in the fall, for all ap- plications under EDP must be received by the Committee on Admission by Dec. 1, 1967. All other credentials (transcripts, school reports, recommendations, and Junior-year College Board Test results) should be on file by Dec. 20, 1967. Decisions will be rendered periodically during the autumn, but definitely before Jan. 1. The son of an alumnus may apply later, of course, but all applications which are not completed by Dec. 20 will be reviewed with the far larger applicant group in the spring. Decisions resulting from that later con- sideration will be mailed on April 15, 1967. Although an Early Decision candidate may file applications to other colleges, these must be withdrawn if the applicant is accepted at Brown. Brown sons applying for financial aid under this program should submit all necessary credentials as soon as possible after formally applying for admission. Indicating a need for aid on the application for admission assures immediate receipt of the required aid application forms. Submitting all creden- tials as closely together as possible assures the applicant of a final decision on admission and financial aid at the same time. Failure to achieve admission under the Early Decision Program does not mean the young man may not be able to enter Brown. Those candidates not accepted under the EDP will be considered again in the early spring with the regular applicant group after Senior grades, recommendations, and test scores have been received. These decisions will be for- warded on April 15, 1967. Applicants for Early Decision are required to take both the College Board Scholastic Aptitude Test and the necessary Achievement Tests (consult the Brown Bulletin of Informa- tion. We'll send a copy if you write). The Writing Sample is required, but it is not necessary for Early Decision. In order to eliminate a great deal of paperwork, those who wish consideration under the Early Decision Program are cautioned to make explicit their request in writing to the Admission Office. The advantages of Early Decision for those who may qual- ify have been described in this magazine in other years. How- ever any questions will be cheerfully answered by the Admis- sion Office. C. H. DOEBLER '48 Director of Admission JULY 1967 39 EVEN Professor Corberry showed up. M^ Their Salute to Pembroke's 75th Birthday 40 The Alumnae Show ITS 75th Anniversary has prompted several histories of Pembroke Col- lege this year, including an official book and not a few addresses. The Alumnae at Commencement undertook something less formal but just as formidable, as these photos of their June show suggest. The plot may be a little hard to follow, but the mood is unmistakeable. JULY 1967 41 THE AUTHOR, in more pensive mood at Commencement time. 'Devoid of Guile?' PROFESSOR Kenny has the unique distinction of having been not only Dean of The College at Brown but also Acting Dean of Pembroke College. Two Pembroke alumnae therefore waited upon him last spring to ask him to speak at the May Convocation which helped celebrate their College's 75th anniversary. "These ladies appeared devoid of guile, and I easily suc- cumbed to their blandishments," Dr. Kenny said. "The subject, they said, was to be of my own choosing but, of course, on some aspect of Pembroke College's history. "Following their departure it began to dawn upon me that Professor Grace E. Hawk's History of Pembroke College was to appear on that same day, that our good Dean, Rosemary Pierre!, has been covering large areas of the United States talking to alumnae about Pembroke's past. Also, the Pem- broke Alumna has been doing a thorough job of reliving Pembroke's past. I could hardly speak of the future of Pem- broke while on the same platform with our youthful President, who knows more of what the future holds for Pembroke than I do. "The realization came that mine was no easy task if I were not to indulge in academic bromides or mere anecdotage. As the ladies departed, I reversed the meaning of the passage in Matthew 25 and murmured, 'I was not a stranger and ye took me in.' " In any event, we delight to publish Professor Kenny's ad- dress. He is no strange to Brown men, either. Pembroke Perceived By Robert W. Kenny '25 THERE IS AN OLD GOSPEL HYMN, 1 believe. Called "One Sweetly Solemn Thought." The title came to mind as I realized that, as undergraduate and Faculty member, I had known Pembroke College for more than half of its lifetime. Since that lifetime has now been sensitively recorded by Professor Grace Hawk, my own remarks will be a gloss of Pembroke's history only in the secondary sense defined by Webster as "a loose running commentary." When I was an undergraduate in the early 'twenties, my chief sources of information about Pembroke were, to say the least, not entirely dispassionate: the Brown Daily Herald, the Brown Jug (an allegedly humorous magazine), and my fellow Brown undergraduates. Of course, as Lawrence Sterne said, every man spoke of the market as his own goods sold there. Mirror, Mirror, and tlie "Brown Jug" Cartoon From these disparate sources, one fact emerged beyond dispute: the seriousness and intellectual interest of Pembrokers — this is an era when at Brown the "gentleman's grade of C" was considered completely adequate by a great number of students. The Brown Jug published a cartoon about this time showing a Pembroker gazing woefully at herself in a pier glass. The unkind caption read: "The only examination a Pembroker will ever fail." The Brown Jug was, in its ungracious way, paying tribute to the established intellectual tradition of Pembroke. Pem- broke started with this tradition of academic excellence. Presi- dent Andrews had selected a cadre of his brightest young Faculty to teach his young ladies. Early classes were small, so small that daily preparation was necessary. Dr. Mary WooUey, of the first graduating Class, 1894, later President of Mount Holyoke, wrote: "Daily preparation paid large dividends by discouraging the habit of just getting by — in itself not a small gift for one's after life." It did more than that; it established the tradition of devo- tion to the cultivation of the intellect, which persisted, despite snide remarks from the lads down the street. The reputation for academic excellence, gained early and maintained con- sistently, is still recognized, although there are murmurs of dissatisfaction on the Brown Campus now and again at the too-frequent references to Pembroke as the brightest jewel in the academic crown. In my early days, intellectually alert the girls certainly were; emancipated they were not. Perhaps this was not their fault. As a very shy, self-conscious young Instructor, I taught my first class in East House, a converted dwelling next to Pem- broke Hall. Seated near the front was the already completely self-possessed Miss Ruth Hussey. My task was not made easier by the assignment. 42 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY The senior members of the English Department had their own pecuUar notions as to what classics of our literature were proper for the perusal of the college girl. In the men's section. Henry Fielding's Joseph Andrews was the standard introduc- tion to the English novel. This was considered too rare and too racy for young ladies, and so, with a singular lack of conviction, I struggled through Fanny Burney's Evelina. This was thought — truthfully enough, in all conscience — unlikely to be injurious to the pure minds of female Freshmen. Today, I gaze glassily into space when some emancipated Pembroker frankly analyzes a piece of writing according to the Viennese gospel of the late Dr. Sigmund Freud, explicitly enumerating sex symbols that are unrecognized by her still innocent and unperceptive Professor. In the 'twenties and 'thirties. Elementary Biology was taught to ladies by a lady, in laboratory reserved only for ladies. I presume the specimens dissected in the laboratory were also the female of the species. Today the columns of both student newspapers discuss contraception and consciousness-expand- ing drugs with no trace of self-consciousness. The late 'twenties and 'thirties were, as you know, hardly years of economic abundance. Many families thought long and hard about sending a daughter to college. There was less doubt about the son, since his financial future was thought to be greatly enhanced by the possession of a degree. Some local girls came to Pembroke during these years because only by living at home was a college education economically possible. Nearly all students were aware that they must, upon gradu- ation, be prepared at once to pull their own weight in the economic boat. This determined, in many cases, the careers that women graduates would follow. The Doors of Graduate School Were Less Hospitable In 1934, I had the honor to become an honorary member of the Graduating Class, and I delivered myself of a few re- marks on Spring Day. She may well have forgotten it, but most of the material was provided for me by Miss Eva Mooar (whose death later, in the week of Commencement, was so widely mourned — Ed.). Miss Mooar's statistics indicated that graduates were looking for jobs as social workers, dieticians, and librarians and training to be buyers at Macy's or Lord & Taylor; nearly half of the Class were to become teachers. The teaching jobs, for the most part, however, were at the elemen- tary and secondary level. Very few girls went on to do graduate work. There was just not the sort of money around that there is today for fellow- ships, scholarships, traveling grants etc. Girls then, as now, thought about marriage, but there were fewer married stu- dents. Husband and wife generally had to provide the sources for matrimony. Today parents of both parties have a way of supporting their young, to say nothing of the largesse of Uncle Sam and the foundations. I have not, I hope, intentionally pictured a grim sort of existence for the pre-war years. There was plenty of fun — not too much of it in the F. Scott Fitzgerald manner; nor were there many orgies of the type described by Percy Marks in The Plastic Age. Colleagues of my vintage agree that in the 'thirties the un- dergraduates at both Colleges were far better dressed than today. Undergraduates spent more for their clothes ( they could hardly spend less than today's student ) . Dances were formal, and there was more than a sprinkling of white ties, taUs, and long formal gowns. Perhaps this was part of the act of keeping a stiff upper-lip, a moral-builder like a Somer- set Maugham character dressing for dinner in the jungle. Some Other Barriers the Pembrokers Crashed So the 'thirties passed. Relations between the two institu- tions showed amicable progress. It finally dawned on those who ran Brown's dramatic society, Sock and Buskin, that Pembrokers had certain physical endowments which enabled them to play female roles better than men. About this time, too, Komians came to a similar, although of course not identi- cal conclusion, and the dramatic arts reached a new high in this community. Brownbrokers, then an informal, humorous undergraduate revue, was inaugurated; from the Pembroke chorines, long-stemmed lovelies disporting themselves on the Faunce House Theater stage as "the Smoother Element," it was clear that the canard about the Pembroker and the mirror was just that. I am happy to report that the intellectual life was not being neglected. In a Pembroke Record of the late 'thirties, 1 re- cently read the notice of the Pembroke Debating Team being unanimous victors over the Brown Varsity Debaters. In what I suspect was a judicious mixture of intellect and emotion, Pembrokers took the affirmative side of the question, "Do College Men Prefer College Women?" The decade closed with Pembroke a highly-regarded women's college, not nationally known but, wherever known, highly respected. The war years were crucial and triumphant for Pembroke. As Navy and Air Force units took over more of Brown's dormitories and other facilities, Pembroke students slept in double-deck beds in Metcalf and Miller. In the years 1943-46, they were billeted in the houses of Delta Tau Delta, Sigma Chi, Beta Theta Pi, and Alpha Tau Omega, also in Warren, George, and Horace Mann Houses; and the University ac- quired for Pembroke Victorian dwellings in the neighborhood of upper Brown St. As the war continued, there were fewer and fewer civilian students, teenagers and 4-F's. One semester there were as few as 237 undergraduate men. "Nature," Spinoza said in his "ELEMENTARY BIOLOGY was taught to ladies by a lady, in a lob ressrved for ladies." (The era wos noted in the Alumnae Show, too.) JULY 1967 43 DEAN PIERREL and Lois Lindblom Buxton P'43, who directed the Alumnae Show of June 3, port of the Pembroke 75th Anniversary. Ethics, "abhors a vacuum." Dr. Johnson elaborated on the matter to Boswell: "Whatever philosophy may determine of material nature, it is certainly true of intellectual nature, that it abhors a vacuum." Now, neither Spinoza nor Sam Johnson abhorred an intellectual vacuum any more than Henry Mer- rill Wriston; with the decline in the number of male students, as they went off to the wars, he filled the intellectual vacuum with Pembrokers. In 1939-40, Pembroke had 497 students. It remained at about that size until 1944-45, when it increased to 602, with another jump in 1945-46 to 827. Still on the ascendant, Pem- broke reached 921 in 1947-48. It has hovered around that figure ever since. Housing and facilities have kept pace, and the New Pembroke is still feeling growing pains. The Deans of Pembroke Seized the Opportunity Then Brown was singularly fortunate in having in succession two such able educators as Henry Wriston and Barnaby Kee- ney. Pembroke was doubly fortunate in having, in addition, two such able, charming, and effective Deans as Margaret Shove Morriss and Nancy Duke Lewis. Pembroke's enhanced prestige, as a nationally-known coordinate College, is largely due to the efforts of these two, one of them happily still with us. Both Deans, as I now understand, quietly built effective administrative staffs. Though the opportunity for a greater Pembroke was provided by the War and Henry Wriston, the exploitation of that opportunity is the lasting achievement of Deans Morriss and Lewis. I was, in the late 'forties, Dean of The College at Brown. With a College far bigger then than now, swarming with veterans in a hurry to be educated, it was hectic at times, and I had more than one occasion to admire and envy as the Deans at Pembroke built the better mousetrap. The French have a saying, plus ga change, plus c'est la mcine chose. What about the Pembroke product of today? I never cease to be surprised at the swift alteration of mind and attitude of undergraduates. In 24 hours they can move intel- lectually from sleeping sickness to St. Vitus dance. I have read undergraduate papers over the past few years, candidly admitting to their authors that I could not have done as well myself as an undergraduate. (This will hardly come as a surprise to some who know me intimately.) The great bulk of undergraduate work today shows perception, sensitivity, and a self-confidence that pre-war undergraduates often did not display. I would like to comment briefly on this self- confidence, for it is a great source of strength but also a source of weakness among some undergraduates. The self-confidence is engendered mostly, of course, by keen intelligence, but in part — a part not always recognized by the student — by the present economy of abundance. Depression? What in the World Was That? Few of today's undergraduates, although many work, really feel or have felt any sharp economic necessity. Upon comple- tion of the baccalaureate course, it is now regarded by many students as part of nature's simple plan that their education should continue at the graduate level leading to a Masters degree or the doctorate. The money is at hand; the source of the money is ultimately derived from our highly-productive economy. Whether it is channeled to the graduate student from father, foundation, or fellowship does not matter; it is at hand. Today's students have never known a time when the economic ball did not bounce their way, so to speak. Paradoxically, as some of you may have noticed, there is among many college students today a disdain for business — a feeling that those who operate large enterprises are not very sentient beings, else the world would not be in the mess it is in. Let us not despair, however, for our undergraduate journal- ists are at hand, ready and willing to offer panaceas to John- son, Rusk, Chafee, Doorley, and Heffner. So be of good cheer. Mr. President. What this adds up to in my mind is that the natural impa- tience and confidence of youth, which was restrained by the economic uncertainty of the 'thirties, is now being accelerated by the economic conditions of today. This confidence appears as Pembrokers depart for graduate school or matrimony or both, simultaneously, eager to get to the church "on time." As more and more women go into teaching and research, more and more of them will take their places on college Faculties, children notwithstanding. It is my earnest hope that the time will not be long deferred when a distinguished scholar of Pembroke will return to hold the Nancy Duke Lewis Professorship in Brown University. Tradition calls for it. Nearly 400 years ago in 1569, Gabriel Harvey, Edmund Spenser's friend, was in a controversy at Pembroke College, Cambridge, about methods of teaching Greek. The details need not now concern us, but it did occasion Harvey writing to the Master of Pembroke urging the speedy settlement of the dispute. He urged it "That we shall go quietly and roundly to our books and so grow to that ripeness of learning, wisdom, and eloquence which our predecessors grew unto. That at length it may pass for a good consequence that if one is of Pembroke Hall, one is ergo a good scholar." So be it. 41 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY The Honorary Degrees of 1967 THE HOUR for special honors on Commencement day comes at noon, and there was added interest in 1967, for this would yield the first citations for honorary de- grees by President Heffner. It was a sizeable group of hon- orandi which the Board of Fellows had voted for the season — 13 in all — but there were personal relationships and a sense of the University family that made them all the more wel- come. The climax came when Dr. Barnaby C. Keeney, Brown's President Emeritus, was called to the platform to hear his successor cite him. In her own right, a few minutes previ- ously, his wife, "Brown's First Lady. 1955-66," had accepted her own degree — Doctor of Social Work, which no one seems to remember ever being used before at Brown but with a worthy recipient in Mary Elizabeth Critchfield Keeney. Three of the others are Presidents, with whom Dr. Heffner and Brown have had intimate ties: Kingman Brewster, Jr.. of Yale University; Elvis J. Stahr, Jr., of Indiana University; and George A. Owens of Tougaloo College. Of seven graduates of Brown, three have served its higher councils: Charles C. Tillinghast, Jr., '32, President of Trans World Airlines (a Term Trustee, he is Chancellor-designate); Patrick J. James '32, Vice-President of Chase Manhattan Bank and Treasurer of the University; and Thomas B. Ap- pleget '17, Emeritus Trustee and former Vice-President of Brown. It was a major anniversary year for each, as it was for Edward J. Day '22, Chief Judge of the U. S. District Court for Rhode Island. Dr. William P. Buffum '09, Provi- dence physician and pediatric allergist, and Mrs. Helen H. Nowlis P'34, Dean of Students and Professor of Psychology at the University of Rochester, received the honorary degree of Doctor of Science. For Grace Barstow Murphy P'13 of Setauket, N. Y., there was an honorary L.H.D.; she is Presi- dent of Conservationists United for Long Island, an author, world traveler, and wife of Dr. Robert Cushman Murphy '11. To receive a D.D., the Rev. Samuel J. Wylie, Dean of the General Theological Seminary, returned to the Brown Cam- pus where he had once worked as Chaplain with the Episco- pal College Church. The citations, which appear elsewhere in this issue, were felicitous and in the fine tradition Brown has enjoyed in this respect, particularly from Faunce, Wriston, and Keeney. We have included the Latin portions of their text because there is such interest in them, especially in the terminal adverbs that fit each individual conferring. To Dr. Keeney and Judge Day went the extra warmth of the "solemniter," with all its overtones. And hearing "For God. for Country, and for Yale" in Latin brought amused appreciation from the Com- mencement audience when Dr. Brewster got his degree. TTie Heffner citations were well done; his style will enhance future Junes. Thirty-five senior members of the Faculty and administra- tive staff, previously without a Brown degree, now possess one — that of Master of Arts ad eimdem. By vote of the Board of Fellows, they have thus been added to the role of honorary and official alumni. Most of them were present on The College Green to receive their new degrees. From the Faculty, there were the following: Professors — Ulf Grenander and Mauricio Matos Peixoto, Applied Mathe- matics; M. Boris Rotman and Henry S. M. Uhl, Medical Science; and Thomas G. Winner, Slavic Languages. Associate Professors — Michael A. Chinnery and David G. Harkrider, Geological Sciences; Herbert Patrick Constantine, Medicine (at Rhode Island Hospital); Charles W. Fornara and R. Ross HoUoway, Classics; Edwin C. Hargrove, Political Science; Anthony Houghton, Yong-Son Jin, and Tran Nguyen Truong, Physics; Yuji Ito, Michael I. Rosen, and Walter A. Strauss, Mathematics; James F. Kidwell, Biology; Philip E. Leis, An- thropology; Horace F. Martin. Biochemistry (at Rhode Is- land Hospital); Paul E. Nelson, Music; Marc H. Richman and Roger I. Tanner, Engineering; Dietrich Rueschemeyer, Sociology; William R. Shoedel, Religious Studies; James J. Wrenn, Linguistics; and Lt. Col. Robert G. Liotta, USAF, Aerospace Studies. The administrative officers honored were: Frank C. Acker, Special Assistant to the President; Anne Stebbins Dewart, Assistant Dean of Pembroke College; Sally McPherson, Di- rector of Residence, Pembroke; Charles C. Waddington, Har- old E. Clark, Christine D. Hathaway, and Kay K. Moore, Library; and David G. Black, Jr., Coordinator of Research. BARNABY CONRAD KEENEY, LL.D.: As soldier and scholar, teacher. Dean, fisherman, and President, you have consistently achieved and merited awards for gallantry in action. The Silver and Bronze stars could as well have been conferred for courageous leadership under fire at Brown University as in the Battle of the Bulge. In the words of the Secretary of the Corporation, "You took a great university and made it immeasurably greater." You are properly known here as a builder, of a distinguished Faculty, an intellectually vigorous student body, and a proud and dedicated group of alumni as well as of libraries and laboratories. The op- portunities for academic excellence which lie before us today we owe largely to you — and to the efforts you have inspired in oth- ers. Now in leading the troops of scholars in the humanities, you are showing the consistent vision as to ends, the practical judg- ment as to means, the saving wit, and above all the courage which made your presidency so memorable. At this great academic festi- val, which like all other good things here you kept traditional while making it distinctively your own. Brown University takes special pride in paying tribute to you.

A fighting heart, speed on the track, ability to overcome obstacles, unwillingness to accept defeat, respect and aptitude for research have been your trade- marks. We honor you for your distinguished contributions to the financial world but, above all, for your tireless devotion to your Alma Mater. In a short time you have already brought a special sparkle to the important office of Treasurer of the University, and we are sure that the best is yet to come. Quern oh rem, magna pro ingenio non solum ile pecunia sed etiam de pugillationibus. aucloritate inilii commissa te ad gradwn in Legibus Doctoris admilto, omniaque jura alque privilegia ad hunc gradiim pertinenlia tibi concedo.

TILLINGHAST CHARLES CARPENTER TILLINGHAST, JR., LL.D.: Ever since the days when, as an outstanding Brown student and ath- lete, you played center on the football team, you have been com- fortable and assured in the middle of intense activity. As a young Assistant District Attorney under Thomas E. Dewey, in the pri- vate practice of the law, and as Vice-President of Bendix, your accomplishments have always been noteworthy. But your achieve- ments as President of Trans World Airlines can only be called spectacular. At the same time you have managed to devote a sur- prising amount of time and talent to your church, to charitable enterprise, and to your University. As a Trustee of Brown and Chairman of its Development Council, you have contributed leadership of the highest order. On the 35th anniversary of your graduation, and on the day your youngest daughter receives her Bachelor's degree, your Alma Mater honors herself in honoring you. Qua de causa, tuas propter virlutes in legibus el in almae matris rebus et in caelis navigandis, auctoritate mihi commissa te ad gradum in Legibus Doctoris adinitlo. omniaque jura alque privi- legia ad hunc gradum pertinenlia tibi concedo. In huius testimo- nium hoc diploma tibi Jaiisia felicis fiigae fero. BUFFUM DAY WILLIAM POTTER BUFFUM, Sc.D.: You have combined in a rich life achievements as a research scientist, as healer and teacher, and as man of affairs. You have shown persistence in pursuit of the facts, loving patience in ministering to the sick, and organizational genius in getting things done. Through your efforts the hard of hearing have new courage, and children afflicted with asthma new hope. As it develops an exciting program in medical education your University takes pride in honoring you. and hopes that a new generation of medical sons of Brown will attempt to emulate your virtues. Quae cum ila sint, pro luis meritis in artibus niedicinis necnon rebus civilibus, auctoritate mihi commissa te ad gradum in Scien- tia Doctoris admilto, omniaque jura atque privilegia ad hunc gra- dun pertinenlia tibi concedo. In huius testimonium hoc diploma tibi bono auspicio trado. EDW.^RD WILLIAM DAY, LL.D.: Rhode Island and Brown have been blessed with many sons who have demonstrated unusual aptitude for the august majesty of the bench. You have proven yourself in every way to be a worthy member of this company. After a distinguished preparatory career as attorney and political leader you have, in 14 years as Judge of the United States District Court, exemplified the judicial virtues of patience and fortitude, charity and wisdom. Now, as Chief Judge of this District, your leadership is ever more valued. On this 45th anniversary of your graduation, your University proudly salutes you. Qua de causa, tuas ob virlutes in rostra atque in municipiis alque in curia, auctoritate mihi commissa te ad gradum in Legibus Doctoris admitlo. omniaque jura atque privilegia ad hunc gradum pertinenlia tibi concedo. In huius testimonium hoc diploma tibi ritu solemni dedo. JULY 1967 47 Honorary Desrees KINGMAN BREWSTHR. JR.. LL.D.: .\s Provost and as Presi- dent of one of our oldest and \et most \oiithfiil universities, you have kept a steady hand on the tiller and have not allowed rough weather to turn you aside from the true course. Under your lead- ership, Yale science has attained new energy levels while the hu- manities have made substantial progress. Mindful of its traditions, your Yale has had the courage to innovate, in professional studies such as law and drama, in the incorporation of significant otf- canipus experiences into undergraduate education, in exploring new relationships with Vassar, and in innumerable other ways. Under your direction. Yale has played a more vital role in com- munity affairs than ever before. For your fellow Presidents, your clear, strong voice raised in defense of the freedom and inde- pendence of the university has been a constant source of en- couragement. Oiiein oh rem, tiias propter viriiiles in docemlo. in diicendo, in liberando. in innovando pro Deo, pro Patria, pro Yalensi, aiic- toritate mihi commi.<:sa le ad gradiim in Legibus Doctoris admillo, omniaque jura atqiie privilegia ad hiinc gradum pertinentia tibi concede. Maximis cum gratiis necnon siimnia cum admiratione magnae universitatis luae hoc diploma tibi bona volunlate trado. BREWSTER GRACE EMELINE BARSTOW MURPHY, L.H.D.: Since col- lege days you have been not only a productive scientist and au- thor but the inspiration of much that is best in the work of your distinguished husband. What might have been an affliction was to you a stimulus to help others overcome their own problems. More- over, you have been an effective organizer of action to see that natural beauty is not displaced by urban sprawl. We honor you as one who combines superlatively well the quiet virtues of wife and mother with active leadership in a fine cause. Qua re, tuas propter scientias de rerum natura el in rebus natii- ralibus, auclorilate mihi commissa te ad gradum in Litteris Hu- manioribus Doctoris admitto, omniaque jura alque privilegia ad hunc gradum pertinentia tibi concedo. In huius testimonium hoc diploma tibi anianter atque reverenter do. MURPHY STAHR ELVIS JACOB STAHR, LL.D.: As Dean, Provost, Vice-Chancel- lor, and President at Kentucky, Pittsburgh, and West Virginia, you displayed at an early age unusual ability to lead, inspire, and un- derstand your colleagues. As Secretary of the Army, you quickly won the respect and loyalty of those with and for whom you served. Now, as President of one of our largest and most rapidly improving State universities, you have won the admiration of an entire academic community, of a great State, and of the Presi- dents of other institutions. Building on the brilliant work of your distinguished predecessor, you have pushed on to new attainments in music and drama and art, in international studies, in library de- velopment, in the growth to maturity of a vast system of regional campuses. A small University salutes you for your skill not only in coping with the problems of explosive growth but in knowing how to turn them into opportunities for solid academic progress. Ergo, tuis pro faciillalibiis in liicis academicis necnon in campis Martiis qua duci qua hortatori qua innovatori. auctorilale mihi commissa te ad gradum in Legibus Doctoris admitto, omniaque jura atque privilegia ad hunc gradum pertinentia tibi concedo. In huius testimonium hoc diploma tibi non tam fraterniter quam filial iter trans fero. OWENS GEORGE ALBERT OWENS, LL.D.: E.xperienced in business and collegiate affairs, you have come but recently to the important post you now hold. In these days of expanding opportunity and awakening conscience, the task of the colleges in providing edu- cation of high quality and leadership for society is ever more de- manding and more significant. You are facing these challenges with courage and with vision. We salute you and through you Tougaloo College, with which Brown University is proud to be associated in a broad program of mutual benefit. We hope that this active relationship will mean as much to Tougaloo as it has already come to mean to Brown. Quae cum ita sint, tua propter beneficia in rebus ecclesiaslicis et commercialibus et academicis, auctorilale mihi commissa le ad gradum in Legibus Doctoris admillo, omniaque jura atque privi- legia ad hunc gradum pertinentia tibi concedo. In huius lesli- monium hoc diploma libi fraterniter trado. 48 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY MARY CRITCHFIELD KEENEY, Doctor of Social Work: For more than a decade the President's House on Power Street was a center for warm and merry hospitaHty because you made it so. Shy Freshmen and solemn Seniors, dignitaries of church. Corpo- ration, and civil state, Chattertocks and hockey players, distin- guished foreign scholars and honorary degree recipients — each felt a special, personal welcome. Even in the largest crowds of alumni, parents, students. Faculty members and Faculty wives, your con- cern for the individual human being shone through, just as it did in your active service as Tnistee, officer, and Director of schools and community organizations. The Wheeler and Gordon Schools, the Sophia Little Home, and many other institutions, like Brown University, have felt the strength of your himianity and tolerance, and are the better for it. On a day full of pageantry, pride, and affection, of which you were so often the radiant center, a grate- ful University is happy to turn and salute you. Ergo, tua ob beneficia omnes ad homines necnon tiia pro veiiu- stale amoenitaleqiie. auctoritale niihi comniissa !e ad gradiini in Rebus Socialibus Doctoris admitto, oinniaqiie jura atqiie privilegia ad hunc gradiiin perlinenlia libi concedo. In huius testimonium hoc diploma libi felicller dedo. MARY KEENEY HELEN HOWARD NOWLIS, Sc.D.: Teacher, research scientist, tnisted counselor to students both foreign and American both male and female, wife and mother, you have packed into a still short career a multitude of accompli-.hments. As Dean of Stu- dents at a large, distinguished, and co-educational university, you hold one of the most sensitive and difficult positions in today's academic world. And now you are placing your profound knowl- edge of the psychology of youth and of the effects of drugs at the service of deans everywhere. In this the 75th year of Pembroke College, your Alma Mater salutes you and, through you, the thousands of Pembroke alumnae who are bringing some light to a troubled world. Ergo, multas ob liias benevolentias ad iuveitex necnon annum natalem Collegi Pembrochiani, auctorilale mihi comniissa le ad gradum in Scientia Doctoris admitto, omniaque jura atqiie privi- legia ad hunc gradum pertinentia tibi concedo. In huius testimo- nium hoc diploma tibi feliciter trado. NOWLIS APPLEGET THOMAS BAIP.D APPLEGET. LL.D.: Few can hope to equal your record of loyal and effective dedication to your Alma Mater. As a student at Brown you won almost every possible honor. As trusted adviser and administrative assistant to President Faunce. you performed a multitude of important duties. Leaving the paid staff of the University to serve with distinction as secretary to Mr. Rockefeller and then as Vice-President of the Rockefeller Foundation, you simply made yourself available for unpaid work as a Trustee. Returning as Vice-President of Brown, you helped Presidents Wriston and Keeney in major development efforts. Be- fore and after retirement, you have given without reservation of yourself to alumni affairs. On this the 50th anniversary of the commencement of a lifetime of service to Brown, your University is proud to recognize you as a matchless alumnus. Quem ob rem, tua pro fidelitate qua alunino iam quinquagesi- inos annos qua amico qua administratori, auctoritate mihi com- niissa te ad gradum in Legibus Doctoris admitto, omniaque jura atque privilegia ad hunc gradum pertinentia tibi concedo. In huius testimonium hoc diploma tibi feliciter trado. WYLIE ^SAMUEL JOSEPH WYLIE. D.D.: In no area is the sensitive adaptation of ancient tradition to meet the needs of changing con- ditions and new problems more important than in the education of priests and ministers. To make religion meaningful to the young, the poor, and the forgotten and to bring the moral ur- gency implicit in their religious commitment home to the powerful are tasks our students of theology are willing to face. You bring to your new post as Dean of the General Theological Seminary a superb background of accomplishment and of productive thought on these problems. In Boston the Advent School and at Brown the vigorous Episcopal College Church are monuments to your energetic leadership. Brown University, whom you served so well for a time, is proud to salute you as you take up ever more fun- damental tasks in defining the role of religion in our time. Quae cum ita sint, pro tuis meritis sacerdotalibus et consiliariis et nunc decanalibus, auctoritate mihi comniissa te ad gradum in Divinitate Doctoris admitto, omniaque jura atque privilegia ad hunc gradum pertinentia tibi concedo. In huius testimonium hoc diploma tibi bono auspicio trado.

Tillinghast, Jr., '32. Elected by the Cor- poration at its June 3rd meeting, he will take office a year hence, when H. Stanford McLeod '16 steps down from the highest lay post in the governance of the University. Mc- Leod asked that he not be considered for reelection but agreed to serve until ne.xt June. Similarly, the Vice-Chancellor, Don- ald G. Millar '19 had completed his three-year term, too, but will remain in office until 1968. At that time Judge Alfred H. Joslin "35 will become Vice-Chancellor. Brown's Corporation has 54 members, divided between a 12-member Board of Fellows and a 42-member Board of Trustees. The President and the Secretary must be Fellows; the Chancellor and Treasurer are Trustees. While the Presi- dent has many stipulated duties besides moderating the Board of Fellows, the Charter says: "The Nomination of the Chancel- lor shall be in the Trustees whose Office shall be only to Preside as a Moderator of the Trustees." Actually, the Chan- cellor becomes a principal adviser to the President and rep- resents the Trustees on a number of ceremonial occasions. He is an ex-officio member of the Advisory and Executive Committee of the Corporation and chairs the Committee on Trustee Vacancies. A Worthy Successor to Distinguished Men "I am delighted," said President Heffner, "that Chancellor McLeod is willing to continue in office beyond the expiration of his original term. His support, guidance, and counsel have been invaluable to the University and to me. He has served Brown with skill and devotion in many capacities. "Mr. Tillinghast will, I am sure, be a worthy successor to the distinguished men who have preceded him in the office of Chancellor. As Chairman of the Development Council and a member of the Advisory and Executive Committee of the Corporation, he has devoted a great deal of time and thought to the affairs of the University, particularly during the past year. We are most grateful to him for agreeing to take on the responsibilities of the Chancellorship. "The office of Vice-Chancellor has likewise been filled by a man whose services to Brown are far beyond anything that we have a right to expect. I have turned to Mr. Millar for advice frequently during my first year in office, and I am sure I shall continue to do so, not only for the balance of his ex- tended term, but afterward as well. His successor. Judge Joslin, is now serving as Chairman of the important Com- mittee on Student Life as well as in other ways. We are fortunate in being able to look forward to receiving the bene- fits of his wisdom and experience when he assumes the duties of Vice-Chancellor." The new Chancellor, originally elected to the Corporation as an Alumni Trustee in 1965, is serving a second term, this time as Term Trustee (1965-70). He is President and chief executive officer of Trans World Airlines, to which posts he was elected in 1961, when he was 50. He had been Vice- President of the Bendix Corporation when he was brought to TWA to reorganize its operations. The corporation had had five Presidents in the previous 15 years, and Tillinghast noted that their careers had been "rather short." But, in his first four years with TWA, its earnings increased 47 1 % . The business press recognizes the President as one of America's foremost corporate executives. A varsity football center as an undergraduate, Tillinghast was named to the Silver Anniversary All-America team in 1957 by Sports Illustrated. He also played basketball and was a Varsity lacrosse player. With a law degree from Columbia in 1935, he was admitted to the New York Bar and joined the firm of Hughes, Schurman and Dwight (of which Charles E. Hughes '81 and Charles E. Hughes, Jr., '09 were members); he was a Deputy Assistant District Attorney for New York County under Thomas E. Dewey from 1938 to 1940. He practised law until he went with Bendix in 1957, to be re- sponsible for the corporation's international operations. When Brown devised the Bicentennial Medallion, Tilling- hast was one of its recipients in 1964. He was cited for "con- tinuing interest in his Alma Mater, in many agencies of the Baptist Church, and in numerous charitable organizations." The citation for his 1967 LL.D. appears elsewhere in this issue. A Busy Man with Time for Public Concerns Tillinghast's willingness to assume public service may readily be observed in the list of memberships which have been his: Board of Managers, New York City Baptist Society; Ministers and Missionaries Benefit Board of the American Baptist Convention; Board of Visitors, Columbia Law School; Board of Governors of Lawrence Hospital, Bronxville, N. Y. (where he resides); Trustee, Community Welfare Fund, Bronx- ville; Director, Bronxville Red Cross; Trustee, People-to- People; Trustee, Riverside Church, New York; Trustee, Mid- west Research Institute; Director of Seaboard Surety Company, Merck & Co., American Sugar Company, Air Transport Association of America, and Mutual of New York. Willing acceptance has been Tillinghast's response to nu- merous calls upon him by Brown groups. In addition to One Man's Commencement IT ADDED UP to quite a week end for Charles C. Til- linghast, Jr., '32. In addition to his election as Brown's 14th Chancellor on June 3, he received an honorary LL.D. the following Monday. He joined his classmates for their 35th reunion. He is Chairman of the University Development Coun- cil, which met on June 2. A daughter, Anne, was among the Pembroke gradu- ates this year. Her fiance, J. Michael Meretta, Jr., re- ceived his Master's degree at the same Commencement. They were married that afternoon in Manning Chapel. As President of Trans World Airlines, Tillinghast could hardly ignore the outbreak of hostilities in the Middle East that day. 34 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY service with the Brown Club of New York, he has spoken before many other Clubs and such groups as the Football Association, at meetings of the Associates and alumni leaders. No one would have taken more pleasure in Tillinghast's election as Chancellor than his late father. Dr. Charles C. Tillinghast '06, the famous Headmaster of New York's Horace Mann School. The Senior Tillinghast served two terms on the Brown Corporation from 1934 to 1940 and from 1942 to 1949, each time elected as Alumni Trustee. When the new Chancellor's daughter and her fiance re- ceived Brown degrees this June, they were only following a family tradition in that respect. David R. Tillinghast '51, brother of Charles, Jr., married Phyllis R. Van Horn P'51. Mrs. Charles Tillinghast, Jr., is the daughter of the late Prof. Henri Micoleau, Brown's first casualty in World War I; her brother is Tyler Micoleau '37. Elizabeth Tillinghast P'61 married Capt. Robert E. Nadeau '60, USAF, stationed in Germany. There are, too many cousins with Brown degrees to attempt to catalogue. As a Layman, Too, the Judge Is Active Alfred H. Joslin is an Associate Justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court, and here, too, are a number of ties with Brown: His wife is the former Roberta Grant P'44, daughter of Max L. Grant '12, and a son Andrew was a 1965 graduate. The Judge is Secretary of the Class of 1935; he has been a Brown Trustee since 1962 and served on the committee which nominated Dr. Heffner as President, in addition to chairing the Committee on Student Life. Joslin was named to the Supreme Court in 1962 after a career as practising attorney and businessman in which he assumed many civic responsibilities. He has been President of the Providence Community Fund and Butler Health Center. As Trustee or Director, he has been active in the affairs of The Miriam Hospital, Rhode Island Legal Aid Society, United Fund, and Jewish Children's Home. When the Corporation elects a Chancellor and Vice-Chan- cellor, it is for a three-year term. Named to their posts in October, 1964, McLeod and Millar will continue in them for an extra nine months by serving until next June. They Have Already Served Brown Well McLeod has been a member of the Brown Corporation since 1950, called on for a number of important services. He chaired the committee which recommended Dr. Heffner for the presi- dency in 1966; actually the committee was set up to consider the future directions of the University as well as the succes- sion. McLeod earlier had been Chairman of the Committee on Resources in the Bicentennial Development Program. An investment banker, McLeod has been a leader in Rhode Island's business, civil, and cultural life for many years. He is a retired Major General in the Army Reserve and has received two honorary degrees from the University. With a number of decorations for his service in Tunisia, Italy, France, and Ger- many in World War II, he later commanded the 76th In- fantry Division (Reserve). In 1946, on his return from the war, Brown conferred an honorary degree of Master of Arts on McLeod. Fifteen years later, a second degree followed — an LL.D. On the latter oc- casion, the citation said: "No alumnus or Trustee of Brown has ever served this University with more effective devotion, nor have you neglected other charitable and educational causes. Your distinguished service in two World Wars and CHARLES C. TILLINGHAST, JR., '32: Brown's 14th Chancellor. during the troubled peace around them has earned you the rank of Major General. Your clear and honest conservatism, and your courteous treatment of those whose views differ from your own, inspire the respect and admiration of all who seek to live the American ideal." Millar, the retiring Vice-Chancellor. has been a prominent executive in the metalcutting tool industry since the mid-30s. He was President of the Greenfield Tap and Die Corporation and instrumental in its merger with United Drill and Tool Corp. in 1958; he became Chairman of the Executive Com- mittee of the resulting corporation. He has been Chairman of the Brown University Development Council and was Na- tional Chairman of the Bicentennial Campaign during its "match" of the first Ford Foundation Challenge. He has been a member of the A&E Committee, Student Housing Board, and building committees for both Quadrangles and Hunter Lab. He has been a member of the Corporation since 1944 and is a Life Trustee. Appreciation of his labors was reflected in Brown's cita- tion when he received an LL.D. in 1959; "Your unselfish devotion to the University has inspired your Class (which we honor through you and with you), our Corporation (which you have led as a member and chairman of its most important committees), and the officers of the University (who have found your industry and wisdom a resource and an example). Try as you may to hide it beneath a bushel, the light you cast illuminates without heat and leads without heroics." JULY 1967 55 THIS FORMALITY meant that Milton H.

JULY 1967 57 The Baccalaureate Exhortation STLTJENTS who take their causes too seriously overlook "the deeper needs of the soul," the Baccalaureate Preacher told the Seniors on June 4. He was the Very Rev. William Paul Haas. O.P., President of Providence Col- lege, the first Roman Catholic priest ever to deliver the Bac- calaureate at a Brown Commencement. "Our own age is extremely conscious of its involvements," said Father Haas, "but I see only slight evidence that it is detached enough from its own noble efforts to see what the deeper needs of the soul are. I am just afraid that the same culture that lives off canned and frozen foods, canned TV, canned education, and canned self-imagery, lives off canned self-righteousness." The P.C. President appreciated that students seem to be striving for some measure of spiritual fulfillment: "Perhaps their dress and style, their hazardous experimentation with chemicaUy-induced psychic states and erotic experiences are signs of a desire to transcend the vulgarity of the world and its moral sham. But the consequences of such false solutions are already evident." Our culture, the speaker suggested, has made noise a major industry: he commended an inner stillness that would offset it. Applause, which can so easily be mistaken for success, should not be sought at the expense of peace. "It is no wonder that God seems dead in this generation of high moral pur- pose." Dr. Haas said. "It is not God who is dead; it is the noise that is deafening. One cannot hear unless one listens, and one cannot listen if he is so frightened at silence that he screams." What would happen to the fervor of the activist, "if he had no alternative but humbly to accept beauty and joy?" But people ask how anyone can be happy while there are hungry mouths crying for help. Father Haas' answer was: "What the activist misunderstands is that such a cry for help may be more of a plea for love and joy than just for food. If, in the stillness of his heart, he has never allowed himself to be content, then he will bring every kind of food but the food of the soul to those who cry for help. "You see, it doesn't take much time away from work to love and to be happy even on the brink of death. But it is an awful waste of time to work because one is simply afraid of being happy or because one is too shallow to do anything else but work. In a very few words, I think there is a limit to practicality, that problem-solving is only the beginning of religion, not its end, that the useless and symbolic act is at least as important to human existence as is the generous and helpful act, that a Utopia of full bellies, warm hides, and the absence of restraint is not the ultimate purpose of man, that human fulfillment and true happiness are possible in the midst of suffering. "I invite you to question the ultimate importance of the causes that occupy the conscience of this generation. I do not question the right of those causes necessarily. I recognize the need to take the world seriously. What I am pleading for is a recognition of that facet of human existence that is rarely spoken of. It is this detached involvement that distin- guishes religious action from social action. They share the same temporal objectives, — namely, the well-being of man- kind, — yet religion is not in competition with any social force. It loses its raison d'etre when it conceives of itself as just one of many forces in society pursuing society's purposes." Father Haas pointed to contemporary art. music, and drama as "oppressively preoccupied with self-pity, social concern, plight, and disgust — it has all become precious." It reminded him of the boyhood feeling that there might be a ghost under his bed: "It so frightened me that I was afraid to look. Not having looked, I was sure it was still there." President Haas continued: "Such is the disease of self- perpetuating moroseness that disguises itself as a moral concern in our day. In this respect we are more puritanical than those founders of this edifice (The First Baptist Meeting House). And we dare to feel so superior." Others who took part in the Baccalaureate Service were: President Heffner, Chaplain Baldwin, Deans Pierrel and Schulze, and the Minister of the First Baptist Church, the Rev. Dr. Homer L. Trickett.

For the look ahead brings only wonder and a sense of gnawing doubt concerning possible presence at the 50th anniversary, while the retrospect permits evaluation of what has gone before with a view to placing the intervening years in their setting. When my Class first trudged up College Hill, in September 1923. the fragrance of the funeral flowers from the bier of Warren Gamaliel Harding had not yet been overborne by the stench that the uncovering of his administration's mis- deeds loosed upon the air. His successor, the first New Eng- lander in the White House since Franklin Pierce, was relied on to continue what most of us hoped would be normalcy, but what in fact turned out to be a policy of calculated inac- tion that left a costly and a bitter legacy to his successor. Still, Calvin Coolidge was contemporaneously successful because he exemplified contemporary moods. The middle "twenties were not a period of ferment, intellectual or other- wise. Brown's most notable contribution to Ivy League lead- ership in this period was the construction of its stadium, an investment that promptly paid a handsome dividend in the same coin, the never-surpassed Iron Men. Meanwhile, back on the Campus, intellectual curiosity reached its contempo- raneous pinnacle with the recurring question, "What course are you reading that book for?" An Anti-War Reaction Was 'Inevitable" The prevailing lethargy, as even then was obvious, consti- tuted a reaction to the World War just fought — only Colonel Repington had yet foresightedly affixed to that conflict the adjective "First"- — and to its overstimulation and to its ex- cesses. Calling sauerkraut "liberty cabbage" was silly, as were the propagandists who devised the label. Refusing to listen to Wagner and Beethoven, making unavailable courses in the German language except for the necessary labors of intelli- gence agencies, was of course stupid. And, even in the 1920"s, Brown's revocation in 1918 of the honorary doctorate be- stowed on Ambassador Bernstorff before the war seemed more than a little shabby. An anti-war reaction was inevitable, and it affected most of the students whose views reached beyond the sports page and the social calendar. Some individuals who had been signed up for the National Guard as Freshmen — the so- called Brown Battery — became thereafter apostles of non- violence, a few of them preaching their recent conversion from the jail to which the disregard of their enlistment obliga- tions had translated them. And, while nearly all students were increasingly sympa- thetic to and active in the campaign against compulsory Chapel, which we had, the more widely-read became rather more articulate in the campaign against compulsory R.O.T.C., which we did not have. There were telling points to be made, in the course of formal debates, by reading from current R.O.T.C. manuals the more purple passages on effective use of the bayonet. The "Basic Lesson" of the Revolution Went Unheeded Thus conditioned by the memory of a single conflict against the evils of war and of violence, my generation moved rather too rapidly to generalizations. The Brown curriculum of that day made it possible to graduate, indeed to graduate with highest honors, without so much as a single classroom hour devoted to the history of our own country. And so, for most of us exposure to the American past was restricted to what, if anything, we had learned about it in high school. It should not therefore occasion surprise that the basic lesson of the American Revolution, the demonstration that liberty does not come unaided but must be fought for, by force of arms if need be, went unheeded. Nor was there any underscoring of the lessons of our Civil War — that some issues are indeed settled by war, in this instance chattel slavery, and that this blot upon our civilization was not eradi- cated by sweet reasonableness, nor by an unconditional will- ingness on one side to negotiate, but only after a bitter strug- gle had run its bloody course for four long years. And so, somehow, we missed the significance of Mr. Justice Holmes' remark, "I do not believe that a philosophical view of the world would regard war as absurd." Doctrinaire pacificism became popular among the literati of my time. The conscientious objectors of 1917 and 1918 were held up as the real heroes of Mr. Wilson's war. And the deluded students at Oxford, who solemnly resolved that un- der no circumstances would they ever again bear arms for King and Country, aroused sympathetic responses on this side of the Atlantic. As the Peace Yielded to Aggression Little wonder, therefore, that minds thus conditioned were ill-equipped to cope with the course of events thereafter as peace yielded to aggression, year after tragic year. The Man- churian incident in 1931 was followed by the attack on Shang- hai in 1932, by the seizure of power by Hitler and his hordes in 1933, by the violation of Ethiopia in 1935; there is no need to continue the grim chronology. The forces of darkness, once loosed, swept relentlessly and remorselessly over Europe and Asia, crushing all freedoms of every kind, overwhelming with a destructive nihilism every human value and every as- pect of human decency, until finally millions of lives were ruthlessly extinguished in a series of scientific slaughter- houses, besides which the most outrageous excesses of the Huns of Attila and the barbarian hosts of old paled by com- parison into civilized order. "Would you die for Danzig?" asked the French pacifists in 1939, when they could still stand and shoot back. Alas, they died on their knees, unarmed and helpless, in labor campvs and torture chambers — pitiful witnesses to the indivisibility of peace and to the demonstration that aggression feeds on ap- peasement rather than being curbed thereby. The dark tide struck this country in December. 1941. and 62 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY OFFICERS of Phi Beta Kappa flank the author: left to right— Ernest S. Frerichs '48, Colonel Wiener '27, Roger T. Clapp '19. we were faced with a struggle for our very existence. We tri- umphed in the end, after many weary, costly, bloody months — because of force, superior force, force of arms. We learned anew, what we had indeed not fully absorbed in our student days, the inescapable lesson that peace is not a matter of uni- lateral good intentions, that hard-earned liberties are not self-executing, and that to free peoples war with all of its manifold horrors is still infinitely preferable to submission. The liberties that we and much of the world can still enjoy today were preserved only through the exertion of millions of arms-bearing individuals, and through the costly sacrifice that over 300,000 Americans laid on the altar of freedom. As Holmes Recalled Service in "His" War Whether, like Shakespeare's "gentlemen of England still abed" they felt "themselves accursed they were not" there, only they can say. Certain it is, however, that those who re- tained civilian status throughout the struggle missed a great deal. Once more to quote Mr. Justice Holmes — and here the old gentleman, then 85, was speaking of the Civil War, his war; "The army taught me some great lessons — to be pre- pared for catastrophe — to endure being bored- — and to know that however fine a fellow I thought myself in my usual rou- tine there were other situations alongside and many more in which I was inferior to men that I might have looked down upon had not experience taught me to look up." At this point it will undoubtedly be objected that the ex- amples mentioned do not fairly present the issue of peace or war in a democracy, because each of the three discussed — the Revolution, the Civil War, and the Second World War — were just wars, and so did not pose the problem of today, when a voluble minority is noisily protesting that the hostilities in Viet Nam add up to an unjust war. One answer to this objection is that it is neither new nor distinctive. There were many dedicated and devoted men in the Thir- teen Colonies who were sincerely of the view that it was wrong, legally and morally wrong, to take up arms against the King. They included some of the best brains of the time and assuredly represented the social elite of what was still essentially a frontier society. Those men endured ostracism and exile for their views, most of them making very substan- tial material sacrifices as the price of their dissent. However difficult it now is to estimate their precise numbers, it can- not be gainsaid that in proportion to the total population they were infinitely more numerous than the percentage strongly against the Vietnamese conflict today. And none of them, for many generations in the future, was ever prepared to concede that the Revolution that drove them to Canada and to the West Indies and to England was in any sense a just war. The Activists in Dissent During the Civil War Nor did the South for many years, if indeed wholly today, admit the Civil War to be just. Had not Mr. Jefferson sug- gested the rightness of secession in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions? Certainly it could not be disputed that he had solemnly proclaimed in his First Inaugural, "If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Union or to change its republican form, let them stand undisturbed as monu- ments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tol- erated where reason is left free to combat it." And so, when Abraham Lincoln called for volunteers fol- lowing the attack on Fort Sumter, four more States seceded^ — because they believed in the Jeffersonian dogma that force could not properly be invoked against a State — a sovereign State, sir. No, the South did not consider just what it still insists on calling the War between the States, nor did the many thousands of Southern sympathizers in the North. There was opposition to the then draft also, not merely sym- bolic, which culminated in the New York City riots in 1863 — in which the mob attacked and burned a home for Negro orphans. The President was subjected to vicious personal attack. He was called a baboon, whUe the press at home and abroad — I quote from a recent commentator — "found fault with the war he directed, with the way he directed it, with his domestic program, with the style of his public papers, the manner of his speech, his ungainly appearance, and his frequent disre- gard of proprieties hitherto respected in public conduct." No one today knows how Lincoln's voice sounded, but undoubt- edly its tonal qualities did not include the cultured nasality of Harvard Square — an omission duly noted by the well-born and ill-bred of the day. When Events Turn Doves into Hawks There was dissent, too, before and after the Second World War. The America First organization warned against involve- ment in a war with Hitler's Germany lest the United States be JULY 1967 63 defeated therein. The doctrinaires who had espoused the merchants-of-death theory of our entry into the First World War were loud in denouncing every stage of American pre- paredness. One solitary vote in the House of Representatives provided the margin that saved our armies from dissolution on the eve of Pearl Harbor. .And. e\en after we were busily engaged in the war, a seditious group with quasi-religious overtones, calling itself ".Mankind United." undertook to preach doctrines of peaceful brotherhood in opposition to every phase of the struggle then flagrant. Neither dissent from war nor differences over the justice of a particular war. then, are novel in our history. The anti- war group of today has an ancient and thoroughly native lineage. Tories, Copperheads, America Firsters, Peaceniks — Americans all! Let today's objectors take their rightful place in that company. I interpolate to note that the current transformation of Viet Nam doves into Gulf of Aqaba hawks is painfully reminis- cent of the suddent about-face of those who called the strug- gle against Hitler an imperialist war until June. 1941. when the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union turned it into a cru- sading fight against fascism. And if, as today's Viet Nam objectors urge, each citizen should be free to condition his participation in a particular war on his personal approval of the objectives of that war. why should not each citizen be equally free to condition his obedience to particular Supreme Court decisions on his per- sonal approval of the rightness of each decision as it is handed down? Certainly many of those decisions that are currently con- troversial are not demonstrably and overwhelmingly right; their determination by the close vote of five-to-four proves that; and yet, if the current polls are even roughly correct, that is a far closer vote than would currently be mustered in favor of the rightness of the war in Viet Nam. One's Posture When a War Is Repugnant Up to now, however, the anti-war dissenters have not been notably articulate in allowing similar scope for the dissent of any who remain essentially unpersuaded by the departures in constitutional doctrine newly revealed in the last 15 years or so. Actually, however, the attitude of those who seek to con- dition both their direct and indirect participation in a war on their own subjective judgment of its merits is simply one facet of opposition to compulsion of any kind. For the same persons insist, not only on opposing any war with which they do not personally agree, but also on opposing the draft primarily because it involves compulsion, and indeed on opposing any law whose ends do not coincide with their particularized views of social desirability. Their ideal — let us face the matter realistically — is civil disobedience. They support, volubly if somewhat fuzzily, con- scientious objection to any and every law that does not in every respect implement their own most deeply cherished be- liefs. This attitude is praised, sometimes as an expression of dissent, sometimes as an exercise of free speech, sometimes as a praiseworthy expression of the intensity and sincerity of the views it reflects, and sometimes as a combination of all of these. Thus there are held up as today's heroes of conscience the freedom marchers, the demonstrators — though perhaps not those who simply picket for a fee — the sit-in protesters, the non-taxpayers, the meeting disturbers, the draft-card burners; yes, even the desecrators of the flag. All of these, we are told, are worthy and sincere citizens, deeply motivated, and their civil disobedience is beatified as the finest flower of a demo- cratic and truly free society. What pathetic self-delusion! For civil disobedience is not only a solvent of democratic institutions, it is a terribly dan- gerous two-edged sword that all but guarantees destruction of those institutions. What Limits Are There to Civil Disobedience? When Southern school boards drag their heels on school integration, is that not civil disobedience? What else is it but civil disobedience when the chief executive of a Southern State stands in the school door to defy the order of a court? What else is it but civil disobedience when Southern juries acquit obvious murderers? And, if it may be permitted to speak of the unspeakable, what in the world is a lynching if it is not civil disobedience? Once more to indulge a backward look, one of the most deeply-prized books of college days was one obtainable only with great difficulty, then to be furtively read; I mean the monumental treatise of Dr. KrafTt-Ebing on Psychopathia Scxuiilis. (Today, I should suppose it can be freely had over the counter, no doubt in paperback.) Our urge for enlightenment today has moved from merely private problems to public ones. What we desperately need now is a Psychopathia PoUticalis, to help us understand why it is that those who proclaim their undying devotion to mi- nority rights and who in furtherance of that faith preach civil disobedience, should fail to realize that civil disobedience means anarchy, that anarchy invites mob rule, and that it is precisely minorities who are the first and indeed primary tar- gets of any mob. What is so incomprehensible today is not the presence of those who hold different views. After all, Rhode Island was founded by the otherwise-minded. After all, people in Chicago opposed hostilities in Korea before they protested those in Viet Nam — spearheaded in the first instance by Colonel Robert R. McCormick, led in the second by Prof. Hans J. Morgenthau. There will always be dissent, and it will never be possible to convey one's own experiences to others: Every generation of children is doomed to learn the perils of hot stoves, not through parental warnings, but with its own burned fingers. And so one could not expect people who were not yet born when the Nazi barbarians overran Europe to view aggression in the same light as those who then read of it daily over their breakfast coffee. The Dilemma of America's Intellectual Elite But what still remains difticult to grasp, to the point of utter incomprehensibility, is the reason for the failure of the intellectual elite — the educated, the literate, the articulate, the teachers, yes the professors — to apply to public problems of today the techniques of scholarship to which they have been trained in their academic or scientific disciplines. They prate free speech, but they break up meetings ad- dressed by those with whom they differ. They preach free- dom of conscience for themselves, but reject similar freedom for others. They expound the right of dissent, but denounce every effort ;it rebuttal. They reflect — again I quote from Mr. Justice Holmes — "what I came to loathe in the Abolitionists — the conviction that anyone who did not agree with them 64 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY HOMECOMING 1967 The Date: October 21 The Game: with Dartmouth was a knave or a fpol." They apply objective tests in their laboratory or library, but jettison all such controls once they mount the rostrum. They carefully checlc every reference be- fore publishing a dissertation or a textbook, but quote out of context and freewheel with hearsay and undocumented asser- tion when holding forth on public affairs. Well may one ask, who taught them, and what were they taught? For if the manifestations just enumerated in part are to be understood by the less intensively trained public as hall- marks of the intellectuals — and it is precisely those manifesta- tions that constitute the consistent intellectual attitude re- flected in every medium of communication — what case if any can be made for higher education? The university world, too, has spawned both the growth of disobedience as well as the rejection of all compulsion. Aca- demic freedom — liberty to think and to teach without con- straint — has been distorted into a determined efl'ort to stop both the teaching and the learning process whenever either fails to square with every tenet held by particular objectors. It is, in stark and even menacing fashion, a campaign against compulsion of every kind, against virtually every social con- trol. Complete Safety in the "Happiness of Pursuit"? Of course youth is a time for hedonism, though I cannot forbear to add that this is an ideal far easier of attainment than when my Class was still in college. In those days, with Prohibition in force, every drink of gin or whiskey was po- tentially lethal: in those days, before the availability of The Pill, a student's whole career might be deflected by a casual date. Then the pursuit of happiness involved substantial risks; today there is complete safety for all who indulge themselves in the happiness of pursuit. But the purpose of education after all is to impart knowl- edge, and, trite though it is to say so, there is still no easy road to learning. It still demands application, it still requires hard work, and it still proves that some students are brighter than other students — this last no doubt an inevitable conse- quence of the fact that the human brain is the only computing mechanism mass-produced by unskilled labor. Even the truism that some persons are more intelligent than other persons is currently under attack; no doubt, pressures and compulsion could be avoided by considering all as equals: perhaps the ideal solution would be that of the instructor who gave everyone an A so that none should feel oppressed — or be in danger of receiving greetings from his draft board. But a university world without examinations would ill prepare its students for what they face on graduation. Life is a daily course of examinations, unlabeled though they may be. Every doctor operating on a patient, every businessman making a decision, every lawyer trying a case or advising a client, every person in every human occupation, faces each day as he works at the task before him an examination that tests his fitness and that grades his performance. Why Not Pick Phi Betes by a Lottery? Why then is it thought that academic circles should elim- inate examinations? Would the abolition of distinctions based on mental capacity, or on industriousness, or on retentive powers, or on sheer intellect, really produce a happier cam- pus? There need be no fear that such a nirvana would hamper the selection of members for Phi Beta Kappa. Our Society would then only need to apply to its own system of election the same principle of unselective service that is currently be- ing touted in other connections: It could proceed to pick its initiates through a lottery. True, such a plan would result in a membership with fewer first-class minds than it now contains. But one consequence of this new plan is easily predictable: Phi Beta Kappa mem- bers picked by lot could not possibly be more intolerant or more doctrinaire or more indefensible in the public positions that they take than so many of them are showing themselves to be today. I suggest that the time is long overdue for American in- tellectuals to subject themselves to a rigid mental catharsis, to retest (in the light of national experience) both their present thinking and their present principles. Shortly before World War II, a young Harvard under- graduate turned an open mind, untrammeled by preconcep- tions or doctrinaire formulas, on world conditions as he saw them, then wrote a book on the decline of one of the proudest and most civilized nations ever to exist. He titled it, Why England Slept. Would We Edit Kennedy's Inaugural Words? Within a few years he risked his own life in the continua- tion of the struggle, in which this country had then become engaged. He pondered well his experiences and his observa- tions, and when thereafter, not such a long time ago, his fellow-citizens elected him to the highest office in the land, he sounded a clarion call to underscore this generation's civic responsibilities: "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty." No qualifications there, no equivocations, no weasel words: this was straightforward doctrine, bold in purpose, spirited and stirring in its accents. No finer educational opportunities or training have ever been available than those vouchsafed the present generation of American intellectuals. They are intelligent by every stand- ard — except possibly one; only they can resolve the fearful doubts that their current conduct raises. Will they erode the bold phrases of President Kennedy's Inaugural by cautious editing that dilutes their substance? Will they add stultifying qualifications that drain his coura- geous call of all real meaning? Or will they on soul-search- ing reflection guide their brains by just enough good sense to follow in the path he blazed?

REUNION ROUNDUP 70 THIRTY-FIVE REUNION REPORTS, readily provided, document the general impres- sion that the 1967 Commencement was one of the best. It was, in the aggregate; it was, too, in the particular. We don"t ex- pect you to examine many of the accounts which follow, apart from those of your own College generation: and even there the story will seem a familiar one. But the names are also familiar, and that's the important thing. Even the weather was the usual — for Brown — in a very "chancy" season. Here and there you will note an inno- BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY vation — how fitting that the Class of 1942 should turn to the John Brown House on Power St., where so many Commencement receptions were held in the early years of the College. But essentially, of course, Brown reunions vary little. Brown men have come to realize what outsiders have known for some time, that there is a warmth and character about these College Hill affairs that is hard to find elsewhere. When the Class of 1923 broke precedent at its 25th by inviting the wives to join, they established one pattern that is now the norm. The 1967 reports show how much the ladies have become part of the grand tradition, how much they contribute to it. Many Classes are now preparing their own special reunion reports, with more of the personal details than we can hope to ac- commodate in these pages. However, we offer here a brief breakdown. Class by Class, with information forwarded by the Class Secretaries or Reunion Chairmen, a faithful crew who performed this final act of the year on time and with their usual grace. (In all reports, the presence of a wife is indicated by * after the man's name.) 1904 Seven members of the Class returned to their Alma Mater for their 63rd Reunion. They were housed in North Wayland of the Wriston Quad and, by courtesy of the University, were privileged to enjoy an especially-set-up lounge there, a greatly appreciated and much-used facility. The returnees were, alphabetically, Avery, Bailey, Boone, Humphries, Leon- ard, Mowry, and Salisbury. Mrs. Margaret Salisbury, Mrs. Dorothy Avery Campbell, and Mrs. Edith Ewing Bailey also were present. Howard Esten, Class President, was temporarily laid up in Jane Brown Hospital. However, he was constantly in touch with Class activities and deeply in- terested in the happenings. The annual Class dinner was held at the Hummocks, with 10 persons attending. At a Class meeting, Prexy Esten was re- affirmed as President. Elisha Mowry, long- time Secretary of the Class, wished to be relieved of office and was replaced by Joseph C. Bailey. The many and varied ac- tivities of the Commencement program were enjoyed, ending with the 50-Plus Luncheon in Sharpe Refectory. Adjourn- ment followed until June of 1968. 1906 Eight members of the Class gathered for their 61st Reunion at the Alumni Dinner on Friday evening. Present were Doug Mercer, Alex Burgess, Sid Bellows, Oscar Rackle, Paul Matteson, Joe Smith, Steve Wright, Henry Carpenter, Mrs. Peter Pineo Chase, and Mrs. Henry G. Carpen- ter. Most of these individuals joined the Commencement Procession Monday morn- ing for the long trek down (and UP) the Hill. 1907 In every respect, the 60th Reunion was altogether satisfactory and enjoyable. Even though several dependable classmates could JULY 1967 not attend for valid reasons, we knew that they were with us in spirit, as their letters and telegrams attested. Marcy House was an ideal headquarters. From Friday after- noon (The Class Cup played its part here) until the close of the 50-Plus Luncheon on Monday, the program went smoothly and agreeably, according to plan. An event not on the program was the presentation in Marcy House Lounge of the Class of 1907 Award to Stephen J. Gluckman '67, student, athlete, and leader in Campus activities. President Clark's ci- tation was in his graceful style. The au- ditors applauded — and marveled at Gluck- man's remarkably high scholastic average during his four years on the Hill. Everyone went to the Alumni Dinner, with the Merrick L. Streeters joining the group. On Saturday, the luncheon at the University Club was a time of good talk and laughter, and recollections of college years, included Professors, bearded and beardless. Then at noon on Sunday we were off to the country house of Dr. and Mrs. Herbert E. Harris in Smithfield, where lilacs bloomed in the dooryard and hospitality within was warm and memora- ble. Younger members of the family served a delicious luncheon; a quintet (names kindly withheld) sang without urg- ing; and Branch read from his bound vol- ume (1906-07) of the Brown Daily Her- ald, with special emphasis on the exploits of the Brown baseball team, which de- feated all college opponents in the 1907 season. Jim Hamilton, third baseman, added pertinent comments to augment the reading. Treasurer Walter C. Slade recorded two substantial contributions to the Brown University Fund; and our special guest, Mrs. Janice Zehr, daughter of Hamilton, (Continued on page 74) 60 YEARS AFTER THEIR GRADUATION, 1907 enjoyed the Alumni Dinner and mustered a resolute delegation for the march down the Hill Monday. 71 if '^1 THE GROUP PHOTO is port of the ritual at o 50th reunion, of course. A GOLDEN REUNION FOR THE 1917 MEN THOMAS B. APPLEGET used the gong to announce that the Squantum clambake was ready for his classmates. THE STEERING COMMITTEE had to pose before the old ship's wheel to emphasize their role in the reunion: Carlos G. Wright, Irving S. Eraser, and James W. Leighton.

Cambro, Dr. Edwin Knights, and Dr. Samuel Morein. JULY 1967 73 (Continued from page 71) and Clem McPhee "37. nephew of our McPhee. brightened the scene by their presence. On hand during the week end festivities were the following: Claude R. Branch, Henr\- G. Clark. John L. Curran. .-Mfred H. Gumev*. James Hamilton. Dr. Herbert E. Harris*. Herbert B. Keen. Ralph W. McPhee. Walter C. Slade*. Samuel A. Steere. and the Rev. Dr. Merrick L. Stree- ter*. 1909 The 58th Reunion of the Class was held at the home of Bill Buffum on Saturday, June 3. Refreshments and dinner were en- joyed before the group moved on to the popular Pops Concert on the College Green. Guests at the dinner included Dan Earle '34 and his wife. Mrs. Henry S. Chafee. Mrs. Ivor>' Littlefield, and William P. Bulfum, Jr., "41 and Mrs. Buffum. Mr. Earle spoke to the gathering about the de- velopment of the University. The follow- ing were present at some time during the reunion: Dr. William P. Buffum. Dr. Moses Crossley. Arthur J. Kirley, Albert! Roberts. Harold B. Tanner*, Sydney Wil- mot*, Frank A. Wightman*, Robert H. Whitmarsh*, John H. Wells*, and Harold A. Sweetland. 1910 The Class that always has a reunion had another good one this year, with most of the activity crowded into Friday after- noon and evening and Sunday afternoon. Five classmates were on hand for the com- potation period in Patriots Court and the Alumni l3inner following. But perhaps the nicest moment of the 57th Reunion came Sunday afternoon at the Squantum Club, v^here the annual dinner was held. On hand for this affair were Freeman*, Hor- ton*. Spicer*. Round*. Cameron*, Post, and Palmer, and the 12 of us had a thor- oughly enjoyable time. Max Barus and Al Bennett also returned to College Hill and attended the Alumni Dinner, along with Horton, Spicer, and Palmer. 1911 Eleven classmates, some of them with their ladies, returned to College Hill in June for the big Commencement Week End. On hand for the Alumni Dinner were Brenton G. Smith*. Wright D. Heydon*, Robert Cushman Murphy. Earle B. Ar- nold, Leroy Pilling, G. Fred Swanson. Ar- nold and Swanson were joined in the Pro- cession by Wendell S. Brown. Others on the Campus during the week end were Ar- thur Staff, Frederick Gleason, Philip Cur- tis, and Robert Skillings. 1912 Twenty-six members of the Class, eight of them with their ladies, thoroughly en- joyed the 55th Reunion on College Hill. The feature event of the week end was the cocktail party and dinner at the Turk's Head Club on Saturday evening, prior to the Pops. At a brief business meeting, classmates elected Joseph D. Guillemette as President and expressed thanks to Re- THEY MARCHED down that Hill 55 years ago to graduate. union Chairman Kenneth J. Tanner for a job well done. Thanks to the efforts of Bill Sprackling, a letter was prepared, signed by everyone present, and sent to Wiley Marble, who is confined to the Rockville Memorial Nurs- ing Home, Rockville, Conn. Wiley, who started planning for this reunion close to two years ago with his lively columns in this magazine, was unable to attend and was missed by his classmates. Few men, over the years, have done more for the Class than Wiley. At the present time though quite ill, he would appreciate hear- ing from classmates and other Brunonians. Those who returned: Dr. Ernest M. Daland, Judge Kenneth L. Nash, J. D. Guillemette*, Carleton H. Parker*, Gerald Donovan, Hoey Hennessy, Dr. W. Ran- dolph Burgess, W. E, Sprackling, Daniel L. Brown, LeRoy F. Burroughs, John F. McLaughlin, Ferdinando Votta, Henry G. Marsh*, James C. Elms, Jr., Preston H. Hood, Robert H. Wills*. Dr. H. Carey Bumpus, Dr. George S. Kendall, Adelbert C. Eastbum*, Walter L. Allen, Clarence F. Gifford, Alan A. Slade, MelUn H. Pin- gree*. Earl P. Perkins*, Albert L. Slade, and Kenneth J.

Ricker. 1914 Although it was an off-year for '14. these classmates attended a number of the Com- mencement activities: Pulver Cook, Ed Brackett, Zyg Czuback, Doc Durgin, Steve Bean, Chet Files, Joe Famham, Ed Mac- Dowell, I^on McKenzie, Mel Sawin, I-e- roy Spooner, Maurice Wolf, Charlie Wool' ley. and Nate Wright. 1915 The 52nd Reunion of the Class of 1915 was called to order at 5:15 by President Henry S. Newcombe at the Hope Club on Friday of Commencement Week End. President Newcombe was re-elected to head the Class, with support from Vice- Presidents C. Gordon Macl-eod, Ralph W. Cram, and McDonald L. Edinger; Secre- tary George F. Bhven, Treasurer Frederic J. Hunt, and Assistant Treasurer William G. Thurber. The following were present at one or more of the activities of the Commence- ment Week End: Abbott, Bliven, Burwell, Campbell, Copeland, Cram, Cross, Hunt, Edinger, Fagan, Hunt, MacLeod, New- combe, Staff, and Waterman. 1916 Classmates and their wives enjoyed the traditional reunion gathering at the home of Stan and Ruth McLeod on Friday after- noon prior to the Alumni Dinner. 50th reunion: "a good one" 1917 The 50th Reunion was a good one, right from the Friday afternoon social hoiu" at Poland House through the long but pleas- ant march down College Hill on Monday morning. Friday was a full day, what with the Alumni Dinner for men and their wives and then attendance by many at the Campus Dance, to which we were invited by the Class of '67. The group met in the Ivy Room Satur- day morning, took leisurely tours of the ever-changing Campus, and then the men went by chartered bus to the Squantum Club for a 1 p.m. lunch. Meanwhile, the ladies lunched at the Ivy Room and toured the John Brown House. During the Class meeting at Squantum, Howard D. Corkum was elected 2nd Vice-President and Frank V. Willard replaced Carlos G. Wright as 74 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Associate Secretary. Val resides at 48 West St., East Greenwich, R. I. 02818. When the ladies joined us at Squantum, the group enjoyed a social hour and din- ner, following which we journeyed back to the Campus to attend the Pops Concert, a lovely event. Sunday was a day of lei- sure, featured by a social hour and supper at Wannamoisett. A total of 39 classmates and 18 ladies attended the four-day reunion. The list in- cluded: Appleget*, Armstrong*, Cambio*, Corkum*, Denison, DiLeone*, Dillon, Foote*, Fraser, Fritsch, Hall*, Hamilton, Holton, Keach, Knights*, Leighton, Mac- Nair, Marble*, Morein*, Northup*, Over- bagh, Pearce. Peterson, Rice, Sheahan*, Sheridan, Spalding, Sprague, Staples, Stein*, Tinker, Tomlinson, Tuckerman*. Walsh, Stanley Ward*, Wedemeyer*, Wil- lard*, Howard D. Williams, and Wright. 1918 The men of '18 are reluctant to allow a Commencement season pass without showing some signs of hfe. This year was no exception. On Friday afternoon, there was a cocktail party at the home of Paul Grimes and on Saturday evening class- mates and their wives gathered again to enjoy the music of the Pops Concert. A short business meeting was held, primarily to lay plans for the 50th Reunion next year. It was decided to hold a meeting of the Reunion Committee this summer, somewhere on Cape Cod. Another high- light of our reunion was the report given by Prof. J. Walter Wilson on his history of the Class, which he hopes to have pub- lished in time for the 50th Reunion. Those who were on hand for at least one of the reunion activities include: Ir- ving McDowell*, Dwight CoUey*, John Chafee*, Professor Wilson*, Zenas Bliss*, Walter Adler*, Wardell Leonard, and Paul Grimes*. 1919 The Rhode Island Country Club was the scene of the 48th Reunion, with a dinner- party held at the Rhode Island Country Club. Judge Fred B. Perkins was in charge of the affair, assisted by Arthur Levy and H. Raymond Searles. On Friday, the Class accepted the kind hospitality of Arthur Levy for cocktails at his Providence home prior to the Alumni Ditmer. The following returned for the Saturday night party: Ba- zar, Black, Boyle, Campbell, Chick, Clapp, Coggeshall, Eastham, Fraser, Tom Hall, Holyoke, Howland, Johnston, Levy, Mc- Cormick, McSweeney, Millar, Perkins, J. C. Scott, Searles, Skerry, Smith, Wat- son, and Wilder. 1920 The Squantum Club was the scene of our off-year reunion, with the following 18 classmates and wives gathering for cock- tails and pleasant conversation on Friday afternoon prior to the Alumni Dinner: Charles H. Lawton, Jr.*, Ray W. Greene*, Seth B. Gifford*, Dr. Herman A. Law- son*, James Sinclair*, Clifton N. Loven- berg*, F. E. Schoeneweiss*, Robert A. Bo- gel, Ernest A. Jenckes, Herbert B. Barlow, Lawrence R. Smith, and Louis A. R. Pieri. 1922 One thing became clear during our four- day reunion on College Hill. The spirit of the Class has improved over the years. One and all agreed that we never have had a better time than we did on our 45th. With Bill Prentiss and Ed Haskell acting as a Welcoming Committee, the affair got under way at the Delta Tau Delta House on Friday afternoon with a cocktail party that set the stage for the Alumni Dirmer and Campus Dance that followed. Wannamoisett Country Club proved to be a perfect setting for our Saturday ac- tivities, which included the Class picture, luncheon, and some golf for a few. That evening the men separated from their la- dies and had the traditional Class dinner at the Bihmore. The distaff side meanwhile enjoyed a meal at Carr's and then sat in on the Pops Concert. One of the highlights of the entire week end was the Sunday afternoon cocktail party at the home of Johnny and Mrs. Mitchell. This couple couldn't have been more gracious, and the members of the Class couldn't have been made to feel more at home anywhere. Jesse Dubois was the life of the party here, as he was at all reunion events. He came to have a good time; while having it, he helped others in the Class to enjoy themselves just a little bit more. At a brief business meeting, the Class voted unanimously that the women of '22 seem to look younger each year. We had an especially good turnout in the Commencement March, thanks in part to our Reunion Chairman, Joseph Marto. His committee included Sayles Gorham, Joe Riker, J. Alden Chesbro, Judge Day, Jack Harvie, Ed Haskell, Henry Ise, Ar- thur Miller, Bill Prentiss, Leo Rosen, Stu Tucker, and Johnny Mitchell. The following were on hand for at least one event of the reunion: Bonoff*, Ralph Brown, Chesbro*, Copeland, Corcoran, Dawson*, Judge Day*, Dubois, Farrell*, Forstall, Glover*, Gorham*, Haskell*, Jainson, Jeffers*, Johnson*, Johnstone, Langdon, Litchfield*, Marto*, McAlli- ster, McCraw*, Miller, Newhard, O'Neil, Mitchell*, Paxton, Pittenger*, Prentiss*, Remington*, Rosen*, Rowley, Scharf*, Slavin, Sweet*, Thurber*, Tucker*, Whit- comb*, Whorf*, Riker*, Greene*, How- ard, West*, Geddes, Tracy, Ise*, and Gale. 1923 As usual, everyone had a joUy good time at the '23 Reunion. For an off-year, the turnout was good, with 18 alumni back, along with 16 wives, and two widows. The traditional Friday cocktail party was held this year at the home of Diana and Ches- ley Worthington, with the post-cocktail agenda including the Alumni Diimer for the men and a meal at the University Club for the gals. Members of the Class were seen at the Campus Dance and Alumni Field Day, and several Class tables were filled at the Pops. Beforehand, the Ronald Smiths entertained with a buffet at their Rumford home, while Sunday's cocktails were at the Arthur Braitsches. Talk throughout the four-day week end centered around plans for the 45th, with Reunion Chairman Bill McCormick tak- ing down all suggestions in his little black book. The 44th Reunion concluded with the annual Class breakfast at the Univer- sity Club and the march down College Hill. Those who returned for one or more events included: Decker*, Harris*, Ron- ald Smith*, Braitsch*, Thomdike*, Mc- Clellan*, Young*, McCormick*, Brady*, Henshaw*, Thibodeau*, Jeffers*, Woel- fel*, Gregory*, Martin*, Worthington*, Lanpher, Soderback, Mrs. John O'Neil, and Mrs. Nat Chase. 1924 On hand for the week end were Cool- idge*, Soellner*, Sims, Flather*, Greene*, Goff, Aldrich, and McDonald. The Alumni Dinner seemed bigger and better than ever, and the Pops was a delight. 96 attended the 40th 1927 Including wives, 96 persons returned for our 40th Reunion. The group wasted little time swinging into action, enjoying a Friday afternoon cocktail party at the University Club prior to the Alumni Din- ner. Later in the evening, quite a few members stopped in at the Campus Dance and cut a caper or two. The feature event of the week end was the Class meeting and dinner at the Uni- versity Club Saturday afternoon. The 41 members unanimously elected the current slate of officers to another five-year term, with President F. H. Barrows immediately reappointing Owen Reid as Reunion Chair- man. A Finance Committee was elected and granted broad powers to use the spe- cial Class fund of $8,351.43 as a nucleus toward a substantial gift to the University at our 50th. Carton Stallard won the drawing of a $35 gift certificate toward purchase of mementoes offered by the As- sociated Alumni. Other features of the week end included the lovely Pops Concert on Saturday night and the Sunday Open House at the Bar- rows' Sandy Brook Farm in Glocester, R. I. Twenty-six members of the Class marched in the Procession, including top- hatted Rogers, Robinson, and Stuart. Art Cleaves, Gene Fahey, and Ed Goldberger had children in the graduating Class. Those who returned: Adams*, AUen, Amn*, Barrows*, Benford*, Brennan, Brewer*, Broda*, Bromage*, Burton*, Chafee, Cleaves*, Cole*, Cooper*, Cros- man, Degenhardt*, Fahey*, Fort*, Gage, Goldberger*, Greene*, Hagjos, Jail*, Han- son, Heller*, Hull*, Hudson*, Johnson*, Kenney*, Kom*, Loxley*, Massie, Mc- Cormick*, McGeeney*, Udell*, Mills, Mishel*, Miner*, Munroe*, Pritzker, Pro- vonchee*, Reid*, Remington*, Robinson, Rogers*, Rucker*, Seymour*, Jack Smith*, Orland Smith, Stallard*, Stedman*, Stu- art*, and Willard. 1928 Co-Chairmen Paul Hodge and Al Lis- ker arranged an informal but enjoyable re- union for the men of 28 and their ladies.

Twenty- six classmates, 22 of them with their wives or guests, were on hand for this affair and others during the pleasant four-day week end. The list is as follows: Owen*, Ev- ans*, Mills*, Solinger*. Bob Johnson*, Waldo Smith*. HoUingworth*. Conlong. Hodge, Paolino, Lisker*. Carpenter*, Web O'Neill*. Goff*. Cleaves*, Trenholm*, Calder*, Parkhurst, Stoneman, Eddy*, Pett*, Scott*, Throop*, Kevorkian*, and Carlsten*. 1931 Twelve classmates, eight wives, and two members of the Class of '67 were involved in the 36th reunion of the Class. Members took advantage of the expanded Com- mencement Week End program on College Hill and were busy from Friday afternoon through Monday morning. A highlight of the week end came during the Alumni Din- ner when Bob Cronan received a Brown Bear Award, one of the highest honors the University can bestow. Ed Gauthier's daughter. Amy C, was graduated on Mon- day, as was Ken White's son, John. On hand for the various events were Bowen*. Buonanno*. Cronan*. Gauthier*. Harson. Knowles. Lawton. Mackenzie*, Nelson*, Walls*. White*, and Williams. 500 songs for the 35th 1932 It's hard to capture on paper the enthu- siasm, color, nostalgia that blend to make a successful reunion. In our case, the blend was perfect, and those who returned to College Hill for their 35th participated in a reunion that they won't soon forget. Friday was a full day. starting with the cocktail party at our Diman House head- quarters and closing with scrambled eggs, refreshments, and a song fest around the piano back where we started. In between, of course, came two of the favorite events on any reunion week end agenda — the Alumni Dinner and the Campus Dance. The Class meeting was quite brief Satur- day morning, with Secretary Hurley rush- ing things along so that everyone could make tee-off time at Wannamoisett by 1 1 a.m. At 5 p.m. everyone met at Hurley's house and a grand old time was had by all. A Class dinner at the Chancellor's Dining Room of the Sharpe Refectory was the preliminary to the colorful Pops Con- cert. Back at headquarters following the Pops, we had another sing-along with Paul. In this case. Paul was our congenial chairman of nostalgia, Paul Mackesey, who had put together a list of close to 500 songs, mostly from the late 20's and early 30's. The days of our youth! .An un- official count indicated that between early Friday afternoon and late Monday morn- ing 462 of these tunes received a going- over. All hands agreed that Sunday was one of the most pleasant days of the week end. A car convoy left headquarters for Bristol in the late morning. The Prudence II was BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY THE WIVES WERE INCLUDED in 1932's festivities, of course. MEMBERS of a famous lacrosse team were bocit, with props for the photo. waiting there and took us on a smooth sail under the Mount Hope Bridge, into Narragansett Bay, and back again. Bo.x lunches by Carr's, music by Ed Drew, and nostalgic tunes by Mackesey kept the gang entertained for the three hours on the water. The day concluded with a cookout on the Mackesey estate in Riverside — on Dartmouth Avenue, yet! At the business meeting. William R. Goldberg moved up from Vice-President to President and Alan Rothschild moved into the V.P. position. Rip Hurley will continue as Secretary and Richard F. Canning as Treasurer, The Executive Committee will include T. Dexter Clarke, Dr. Peter Erinakes, Dr. George Kirk, and William H. McSoley, Jr. A Class dues program was established, with the aim of getting close to 100 per cent attendance at the 40th Reunion, a reunion at which all expenses, including transportation, would be paid for by the Class fund. More on this later. Herb Johnson, Tom Reidy, and Jim White received recognition for coming the longest distance to the reunion. Golf awards also were given to Henry Letoile for low gross, Goldberg for high gross, and to Walt Kelley for low net. A silver tray was presented to Rip Hur- ley in recognition of his service as Secre- tary from the date of graduation. Class- mates took this opportunity to show their true appreciation to a man who has been the guiding force of the Class these many years. Those back included: Andrew*. Bellin*, TOGETHER AGAIN AFTER 35 YEARS Bailey*, Bennett*. Berenson*, Barden*, Bass*, Beck*.

It was a success socially thanks largely to the hospitality of Norma and Marshall Allen who acted as hosts on Friday for a cock- tail party and dinner at their Warwick home. It was a success financially because, when all receipts and expenses were tallied, it was found that the Class was only 25 cents in the red. Those who attended the reunion included: Marshall Allen*. Ed Buttner*, Maury Caito*, Tom Casey*, Ray Chace*, Max Flaxman*, John Gross*, Jerry Herman*, Bancroft Littlefield*, Jim Patton*, Bob Purington, Dick Rice*, and John Suesman*. JULY 1967 77 REUNION SLOGAN: This badge belonged to Brown's Bursar. 1937 The 25th Reunion was grand and glo- rious — but the 30th was almost as good. A total of 68 classmates returned to the scene of their youth, with 53 of them bringing their wives. Chairman Marty Tarpy had the entire program beautifully planned, right from the Friday afternoon registration at Olney House in the Wriston Quad to the Commencement March on Monday morning. We hope to publish a newsletter this summer, giving all the in- timate details of the four-day week end. The official program started with a cocktail party at headquarters Friday af- ternoon, after which the men and the women attended the AUimni Dinner. But that wasn't the end of the evening for the '37 group. Still on tap was the Campus Dance, and then a snack and refreshments back at Olney House. On Saturday we headed for the Squan- tum Club. Coach Len Jardine was on hand to give a brief talk, which left all with the impression that, sooner or later, this man will get the job done at Brown. An afternoon at Aldrich-Dexter was en- joyable, as are all Alumni Field Days. Then we headed for the Hope Club for our social hour and dinner. One of the most pleasant moments of the week end was the Commencement Pops Concert that evening on the College Green. The officers elected for the next five years include Jack Skillings as President, Graham White as Vice-President, and Many Tarpy as Secretary-Treasurer. Sunday was a day for fun and games. The Class cup went on the line in the now famous golf tournament at Quonset. When the smoke of battle had cleared. Ken Kennedy was the winner. Capt. Buzz Pease, a Captain serving at the Naval Air Station, played host. TTie tennis buffs also had their moment in court, with Skilhngs and Joe Navas capturing the title at the Glocester Country Club. Maybe we should have a tennis trophy, tool A cook-out at the Barrington home of Red Connolly closed out the day. Those who returned with their wives are as follows: Hughes, Lewis, Coleman, Nanes, Connolly, Widnall, McGovem, Wunsch, O'Keefe, Krause, Hulbert, Schiller, Grze- bien, Kennedy, Barrett, Graham White, San Filippo, Halpem, Dick Scott, Toof, Tarpy, Manchester, McCoy, Skilhngs, Navas, Swaffield.

Those who returned by themselves in- cluded the following: Walz, Alan Brown, Yoimg, Winograd, Exton, Stimpson Brown, Heinold, Tom Watson, Crossley, Carey, Daniels, Golden, Milt Levy, Lawrence Levy, and Tingley. 1941 Although this was an off-year for '41, the men were seen lurking in the areas of Commencement and reunion activities. Cliff Gustafson, Ronald Hopps, and Bob Rapelye were at the Class of '42 cocktail party to pass on the traditional 25th Re- union Shaker. At our small Campus Dance table, located right next to '42, Elliot Rice, Jack Crosby, Earl Harrington, and Charlie Bechtold were seen swapping tales of Class prowess with old friends of '42. Walt Jusczyk, George Mould, Earl Har- rington, and Hap Nash represented us at the Alumni Dinner. John Gosnell, Yat Tow, and Harrington were on hand for other events. Remembered on Sunday Each Commencement Sunday at the 11:30 morning worship and alumni memorial service in Man- ning Chapel, special attention is paid to the 25-Year Class. This year the leaflet which carried the order of worship included the following: "In Memoriam — We hold in spe- cial memory this day these deceased members of the Class of 1942." The Brown men listed were: *Henry Anderson Adams, George Cook At- kinson, Jr., Donald Thayer Bliss, George Ferguson Browne, Burroughs Bullock, *Robert Verrill Carter, *John Warren Case, *Walter Fred- erick Commander, *Elton Wayne Cooke, Shailer Robinson Cum- mings, *Hugh B.

(The asterisk here in- dicates a death "in service of his country.") Biggest of all — the 25th 1942 Records were set by '42 in almost every direction this June, with 108 classmates, 86 wives, and a wide assortment of chil- dren returning for the gala 25th Reunion. For example, on Friday our Class became the first to entertain in the courtyard of the John Brown House (R. I. Historical Society). From there we went to the Alumni Dinner, Campus Dance, and re- vival (one chap thought it was a "sur- vival") breakfast at 2 a.m. Several hardy souls were seen in the Ivy Room for breakfast Saturday morning. However, everyone made it for the Class photo and Class meeting that noon at Warmamoisett. A fine buffet was followed by golf, tennis, and a bull session of some duration. Peg and Bud Gilbane gave a wonderful cocktail party in their home, and then it was back across the street again to the Wannamoisett, where some classmates showed dancing ability. From Rumford on Saturday, we moved to Barrington on Sunday, where we had brunch at the home of Helena and Dick Dunn. Later in the day it was out to the home of John and Lila Sapinsley for an open house. Lila once again outdid herself as a hostess. No one had been able to pre- dict the number of classmates who would still be in town. Someone counted more than 80 people there Sunday evening, but Lila never lost her composure. There were 40 classmates in the Proces- sion Monday morning, with an even 40 also making the climb back up the Hill. Talk on Commencement Day naturally got around to the 30th. We hereby alert Lila Sapinsley to start planning now! There was also talk of the final disposition of the Class gift of $130,350 to the Univer- sity. And three lusty cheers were given to the men of '42 who traveled the longest distance to enjoy the 25th Reunion — Al Marshall from San Gabriel, Calif., and Dave Golner from Berkeley.

At the Class meeting during our reunion week end, the group elected Norm Jerome as Reunion Chairman, voted to solicit Class dues of $10 a year so that the Chairman would have something to work with, and talked tentatively about plans. All in all, it was a good reunion, this 20th. Two of the highlights were a Satur- day afternoon brunch at the University Club and the Class dinner that evening at Agawam Hunt Club, where Hockey Coach Jim FuUerton dropped in to say a few words. Sunday also was a pleasant day, with brunch at the home of Joe Dowling and then a dip in his heated swimming pool. Ray Elias of Cleveland was elected President of the Class through 1972, with Anthony Flack named Vice-President. El- liott Andrews will continue as Secretary and Ed Golrick will remain as Treasurer. Back for the four-day get-together were 28 alumni and 20 wives. There also were small fry, too numerous to be counted. On hand were: Flack*, Elias*, Hamilton, Stacey*, Schleck, Savoye*, Janes*, John F. Brown*. Barlow*, Cohen*, Krohn, Ed Golrick*, Dick Goff*. Reese*, Blutstein*, Andrews*, Maynard, Dowling*, Whipple. Jerome*, Gladstone*, Canna*, Holden, J. James*, Cash, R. Williams*, Abel*, and Horton. 1949 The men of '49 were prominent on Col- lege Hill during the four-day week end, especially at the Alumni Dinner, Aliunni Field Day, and Pops Concert. President Ted Low led the Class in the Commence- ment Procession, followed by Secretary Rolland Jones and Treasurer Tom O'Brien. Paul Richards was back from the Big City and joined the March. The years have not taken away his biting humor. 1950 Members of the Class participated in a variety of Commencement activities, es- pecially the Alumni Field Day and the Pops Concert. Several classmates played leading roles in the week end program. President Ed Kiely, for example, was in charge of refreshments for the Pops on Saturday night, while Randy Bhss served once again as a Marshal for the Com- mencement Procession. Andy Anderson hurled one fine inning for the Old Timers in their battle against the Varsity nine dur- ing Field Day festivities, and Frank Stem- berg set a new Class record for trips from the '50 tent to the refreshment wagon. And 12-year-oId Jay Barry brought honors to the Class by sprinting to victory in the 50-yard dash amidst cheers from his father and other classmates who lined the finish hne. Among those at the finish line were Jack Schreiber and his trio of Jill, Bnice, and Kenneth. Secretary Bob Cummings announced that he will call a Class meeting early in the fall to start discussing plans for the {Continued on page 82) JULY 1967 79 THEY GRADUATED IN 1942, and 25 years later it was 1967.

Among those noted back during the week end were: Andy Anderson, Geor^^e Anderson, Banks, Barry, Bliss. Cummings. Foehr, Hopfenberg, Kiely, Kako, Lund- gren, Lyons, McKeague, Schreiber, and Sternberg. 1951 The two big events for the Class during this off-year were the Alumni Field Day Saturday afternoon and the Pops Concert that followed. The Class tent drew a goodly number of classmates during the warm afternoon and provided a suitable head- quarters for lively conversation and lan- guid action. 1952 Thirty alumni, most of them accom- panied by their better halves, visited the Campus again to enjoy their 15th Reun- ion. Making good use of Littlefield Hall, the reunion headquarters, the group moved from one event to another with both alac- rity and dispatch. The highlight of the week end for many was the Pops Concert Saturday night. At the Class meeting, the following officers were elected for the next five years: President — Jordan M. Kaplan; Vice-President — Donald Stehle; Secretary — Albert E. Nichols; Treasurer — Eugene F. Tortolani. 1954 The Class Officers and their wives met at the Harrington home of Jim and Mardie Gorham for cocktails and dinner prior to the Pops Concert, which the Class was pleased to support again with a patron's contribution. Joining the officers (Gorham, Haverty, Borod, and Orton) were Tom Cashill from l^vittown. Pa., and Tom Gagliano of Monmouth County, N. J., and their wives. Following the Pops, the group adjourned to Jack Orton's home for an afterglow session, where a surprise visitor was Phil Noel, Mayor of Warwick. 1957 The 10th Reunion was a memorable event, thanks largely to the efforts of Chairman Dick Clark and his energetic committee consisting of Jack Marshall, John Lyden, Don Saunders, Bob Goff, and John Keith. Phi Kappa Psi House served as headquarters, as we stayed right there Friday afternoon and evening for our own private cocktail party and buffet dinner. Later, we attended the Campus Dance, where we noticed for the first time how young the college Seniors have become since we left the Hill. At the Class meeting on Saturday morn- ing, a new slate of officers was elected. Jack Marshall is our President, assisted by Vice-President John Lyden, Secretary Don Saunders, and Treasurer Dick Clark. These four men, plus John Keith and Bob Goff, comprise the Executive Com- mittee. The Alumni Field Day that after- noon proved fun for one and all. Our Class dinner was held at Metacomet Coun- try Club that evening, with Coach Stan Ward on hand for a few words. Among other things he praised the lads of '57 for selecting such good-looking wives. No one took exception to this remark. Sunday was mostly a day of relaxation for the group. Some visited old friends in the Providence area, a few paid their re- spects to former Professors, while most just sat around and talked. As usual, the Commencement Procession brought festiv- ities to a close Monday. The next reunion, which will be held in 1972, will be planned shortly by the Co-Chairmen, John Keith and Bob Goff. Those attending the 10th included: Ab- batomarco*, Abramowitz*, Artinian, Ba- ker*, Barstow*, Basse*, Blank*, Bollow, Bolotow, Bride*, Paul Brown*, Brust*, Chappel*, Dick Clark*, Cooke, Cowan*, Cutler*, Delaney*, Gersky*, Godfrey*, Goff*, Charlie Gordon, Richard Gordon, Harmon*, Frank Hills*, lonata*, Jack- son*.

Reunion activities this year were centered around our headquarters in the Wriston Quadrangle, with members us- ing the Quad as a starting out point to the various events sponsored by the Univer- sity. We attended the Alumni Dinner and Campus Dance Friday evening, following our private cocktail hour. On Saturday, the guys and gals ventured to Aldrich- Dexter for the action that goes with Alumni Field Day, returned to head- quarters for beverage and food, and then attended the Pops Concert on the College Green. A number of out-of-town members took advantage of Rhode Island's fine golf courses on Sunday, in preparation for the wind-up of the reunion Monday noon.

Un- der his leadership, the firm has become a $60,000,000 enterprise, merging with Lan- vin in 1964 and now including Saint-Lau- rent, Hermes and Dior perfumes among its products. Salomon was awarded the Bronze Star while serving in the Signal Corps in World War II. Biographies of Harrington and Mrs. Sundquist (the former Vera Matteson) were published in this magazine in May. Praise for Those Who Retire Of the Trustees who retired. President Heffner spoke in terms of warm apprecia- tion at the Alumni Dinner. "Pete Davis." he said, "has been a prodigious worker. He has served on the Advisory and E.xecutive Committee, and the Committees on Hous- ing. Student Life, and Debt Structure. He has been a member of the Athletic Advis- ory Council since 1960 and its very able Chairman for two years. Leon Payne has been an especially active member of the Committee on Trustee Vacancies and a worker in the Alumni Secondary Schools Program. Both have served on the De- velopment Council. "Maurice Clemence has had almost as many and varied assignments as Davis, in- cluding the Pembroke College Advisory Committee, the Committee on Dept Struc- ture, and the Athletic Advisory Council, of which he. too, ser\'ed as Chairman." Gosnell's work in investments. Gross' in real estate matters, and other Tnistee services were noted gratefully. 84 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Yes, Santa, there was a Virginia WE MISS Virginia W. Bugbee in Alumni House, for Ginny has left Brown after 20 years as Alumni Recorder, an in- valuable factor in the efficiency of our of- fice and of so many of its projects. She was the sort you like to have as a col- league. William B. McCormick '23 had not been Alumni Secretary very long when he needed someone like Ginny to take charge of the office and its records. The opening came along just as she had decided to leave the specialized teaching to which she had devoted her first years out of Whea- ton. Miss Bugbee had been a teacher of the deaf, first in Northampton, Mass., at the Clarke School. Then she went to Green Bay, Wis., where a program for the deaf was a part of its public school system, in- cluding many students who came in from the surrounding countryside for the week- days. After three years there, she moved to Lexington, Ky., where she had finished si.x months when Pearl Harbor came along. She returned to her home in Provi- dence then and joined the Faculty of the Rhode Island School for the Deaf for five years. McCormick found her through Miss Mabelle H. Chappell, hostess at Browns Gardner House, where she is the Curator of the Collection as well as Custodian. And so Ginny came to the Alumni Office, in July, 1947. There Were Only 10,000 of Us Then We were in University Hall then, with a staff that included only three girls and an alumni body that numbered only 10.- 000. We moved to the original Alumni House, at Brown and Benevolent Sts., that fall, and Ginny began to tackle the massive problem of keeping track of Brown men. Ginny has seen all the Alumni Office procedures modernized. With a relentless diligence, she organized the search for "lost" alumni and succeeded to the point where only a handful of recent cases are now listed as "unknown." Of more than 6000 men in the last 10 Classes, for exam- ple, only 30 are without a known address, even though the average alumnus moves once in three years. A man's file today is started when he enters Brown as a Freshman, and contacts are more frequent and effective. Where so much of the initiative was once left to the individual to keep his whereabouts on rec- ord, the modem tracing does not let a trail grow cold. "The activities of fund cam- paigns have brought in a great deal more information, too," Ginny says, and the maihng of this magazine has also contrib- uted to the health of alumni records. So much more is possible, too, with nine full-time girls and two part-time Pem- broke students on the staff of Alumni House. Today there are nearly 27,000 alumni on our rolls, a portion of the increase ac- counted for by the inclusion several years ago of male holders of advanced degrees VIRGINIA WARE BUGBEE: She kept track of you for 20 years. in the general alumni program. An His- torical Catalogue and an Alumni Directory were major undertakings that required Ginny's attention, and she headed the staff for the latter in 1964. It was a hectic time, for the alumni records were being com- pletely automated in the same period. It was a companion enterprise of great di- mensions and implications; we are all on IBM now, with a new system that is work- ing well. Human Interest in Every Folder You are not just a file card, a clipping, a letter, an IBM number, or a folder to a Keeper of Alumni Records. Each repre- sents a personality and a career and asso- ciations with Brown. There are new titles, new positions, new addresses constantly — weddings, births, and deaths, too. One is not indifferent in keeping up to date on all of this. As Ginny and her associates kept on top of the job, she never idled or stinted on the hours, because she hated be- ing behind — that would be almost as bad as being careless. But she was interested as well as conscientious. She liked the fact that alumni are proud of being Brown men. Those records are the basis of so much Brown activity of all sorts, and we appre- ciate that they were in such good shape before Ginny turned over her desk to her successor, Mrs. Virginia Bourne, on May 31. It was simple justice that the Associated Alumni should show gratitude. One of the many gifts Miss Bugbee received upon her retirement was a pair of highpowered, featherweight binoculars which she will use in her birdwatching as an ardent, knowledgeable member of the Audubon Society. Alumni Secretary Mackesey pre- sented the glasses with the affectionate re- gard of the Alumni Board. Ginny and her sister Elizabeth have bought an 1810 house in Guilford, Conn., where they will make their home when its refurbishing is finished. Ginny came back to the Campus on Commencement Day to watch the Proces- sion once more, for the Brown tradition is strong in her family, of course. Her father was the late Dr. Raymond G. Bugbee '06, physician and surgeon in the Division of University Health, best known as athletic physician who traveled with the Brown teams as predecessor to Dr. G. Edward Crane '31. Elliot T. Bugbee '14 and Stuart R. Bugbee '09 are uncles, while Lawrence M. Bugbee '49 and Elliot T. Bugbee. Jr., "47 are cousins. Her aunt. Miss Ethel Bug- bee, retired from the University several years ago, is well remembered for her work as secretary to Prof. Fred W. Mar- vel and general factotum in the Athletic Office. Virginia Bugbee is on the maihng list for this magazine, so that she will be able, in a more relaxed fashion, to keep posted on her alumni. She's promised to tell us promptly if she ever has a new address. JULY 1967 85 FOOTBALL: Will September bring us a new breed of Brown Bear? WHAT WILL JARDINE FOOTBALL be like? What are some of the changes that Brown fans will see this fall when the new coach takes the first step to rebuild the Bruins' sagging fortunes on the gridiron? Jardine. the youngest of the nation's ma- jor college coaches, gave an inkling in June: The Pro-I and Power-I formations on offense, bhtzing safety men, and new uniforms. For a man who has every reason to be cautious about his team's chances this faU — even pessimistic — Coach Jardine has as- sumed the role of a cockeyed optimist. He is convinced that Brown will play some interesting football. After observing him closely for six months and listening to him talk with players, students, and alumni, one gets the distinct impression that the Bruins will comply. Len Jardine and pride walk hand in hand. This was true at Loyola Academy in Wilmette. 111., and again at Purdue, where he was coach of offensive backs and ends on last year's Rose Bowl team. And there's no indication that he will lose this quality at Brown. If there is anyone who can get the job done on College Hill, it will be the 29-year-old Jardine and his young, energetic staff. This isn't to say that Coach Jardine is blind to all the problems as he takes over from John J. McLaughry '40 as Brown's 10th head football coach. The man who arrived on the scene in mid-January is faced with many handicaps: a late start, a new staff, unfamiliarity with his personnel. and the need to build a spirited team around a group of players who were 1-8 last year while allowing an all-time high of 279 points by the opposition. All of these problems are compounded by the fact that Brown today has a losing foot- ball tradition as a result of a 17-51-3 rec- ord over the past eight years. 103 Candidates Turned Out Of one thing Coach Jardine is sure: it is next to impossible to say who will be playing what position next fall. As of late June, his "contact" with his players was limited to a review of the 1966 game films and the one-day spring meeting allowed by the Ivy League code. For that reason, coaching philosophy will be more perti- nent in this report than an extensive dis- cussion of personnel. "We were pleased, of course, to have 103 players out for our one day of 'spring practice'. While we did learn a great deal from the four-hour drill, we weren't able to tell which boys are the hitlers," Jardine said. "The fellows who love physical con- tact are the backbone of any football team. But our drills were of the type where we could get an idea of who the competi- tors are, and this helped." In general, the coach feels that Brown this fall will have to rely on team offense and team defense. "We just don't have the individual stars to build around," he says. "This means we will start by constantly moving our players around from one posi- tion to another as we look for our best 22 offensive and defensive men. In essence, we will expect a little help from a lot of men rather than a lot of help from just a few stars." Jardine will have 29 lettermen returning; they have had at least a modicum of expe- rience in Ivy competition. But this figure is somewhat misleading in that many of these lettermen are players who were forced into action following injuries to starters and second-line men during the disastrous 1966 campaign. 'c^i. Brown will have two strengths this fall, according to its coach. The Bruins will be quite strong at the end positions, both on offense and defense. In addition, the line- backing posts should be as strong as there are in the League, with three established stars returning, plus some holdover re- serves and several promising Sophomore prospects. On the other side of the coin, the team will have a number of glaring weaknesses, especially when compared with most of its Ivy rivals. The loss of John McMahon leaves the team without an established quarterback. His forearm, broken in two places in the Columbia game, has been slow to mend, causing team physician Dr. G. Edward Crane '31 to rule him out of action for at least this season. "Because of our basic philosophy and belief in a passing offense, we need a quarterback who has the abihty to throw effectively," Jardine says. "In particular, we are on the lookout for a rollout or sprintout quarterback, and from what we saw of McMahon on film he would have been ideal. He has a flair for the spectacu- lar, playing with the dash and verve of Bob Hall." Another serious problem is the scarcity of outstanding backs who can carry the load, either on offense or de- fense. A third weakness is the lack of in- terior linemen, guards and tackles with the size and strength to play Ivy League football. A New Offense for the Bears Brown fans will see a completely new offense this year for Jardine plans to oper- ate out of the Pro-I and Power-I formations that were so successful at Purdue. (He readily admits that to a certain extent he must adapt his offensive thinking to his PRO "1" © RB ' z ; POWER "I ' © I z 86 BROWN ALUMNI MONIHLV material.) "I'm a great believer in the pass as a means of maintaining possession of the ball and moving it," the Bruin coach says. "I don't feel that the pass is a gamble in our offense. With the Pro-I formation the fans can expect to see the ball in the air quite a bit." In the Pro-I (see the diagram) the full- back (PB) must be a strong inside runner and a good blocker, especially on pass protection. The running back (RB) should be strong enough to run inside and have the speed to go outside. He's also called upon quite often to be a pass-receiver. The flankerback (Z) must, first of all, be a man with good speed and sure hands as a re- ceiver. It also helps to have a flanker who can run and block from a regular half- back position when the team switches into the Power-I. The split end (X) is the best receiver on the team. WhOe speed is looked for, his knowledge of the defense and his ability to get open are of primary im- portance. Basically, the Pro-I is the passing offense. When the passing game isn't working, Brown will go to the Power-I to strengthen the running game. Here, the flanker is brought back into the backfield, although the split end will remain 20 to 25 yards out. The flanker will line up either at the normal halfback position, right or left of the fullback, or will spot himself just out- side the tight end or off the weakside tackle. Jardine emphasizes that motion will be a big factor in both the Pro and Power-I formations, with the running back (RB) al- ways the one supplying it. "We put a man in motion to move the defense and give us an advantage," the coach said. "We won't use it just for show." Another key to the Brown offense will be the ability of the linemen and fullback to protect the passer. "We must have adequate pass protection to utilize the skills of our backs," he says. Personnel Shifts Are Planned In discussing his personnel, position by position, Jardine emphasized again that decisions made in June and July will not be final. "The first two weeks of double drills in September will be crucial," he said. "This period will provide me and my T MGr LB B COACH JARDINE: "No stars to build around." staff our first real look at the squad. I fully expect that there will be wholesale changes in positions." Without McMahon at quarterback, the position is strickly up for grabs. Senior Mike Maznicki may have the inside track, based on his experience and his leadership qualities. He completed 26 of 86 passes for 351 yards and one touchdown last fall. Other quarterbacks include Juniors Gene Dubay and Hal Phillips and Sophomore Chuck Baglio. Dubay, a good all-round athlete, runs and throws well but at 5-9 is short for the quarterback post. Baglio, a former Worcester Academy star like Bob Hall, has a strong arm and throws well from the pocket, but he will have to ac- quire some of the other skills of the po- sition before he makes a contribution. As a Cub, he completed 34 passes for 503 yards. T LB B OKLAHOMA DEFENSE Jardine is especially high on his full- back, Steve Wormith. He feels that the 6-0, 195-pound Junior from Sarnia, On- tario, could be a great one if injuries don't hamper him as they did last fall. He had 165 yards in 35 carries for a 4.7 av- erage a year ago. Other men at the posi- tion include Steve Daniels and Craig Campbell, a pair of veterans, and prom- ising Sophomore Tony Renzi, a 5-11, 205- pound bull from Hooversville, Pa., who paced the Cubs in nishing with 417 yards. Senior Dan Cain, the former high school Ail-American from Holyoke, will get a crack at the running back position. A good straight ahead runner, Cain was slowed last season by injuries. Junior Tom Lemire, the fastest runner on the team, will battle Cain for the starting berth un- less the 6-0, 190-pounder is used as a flanker to capitalize on his speed. Behind these two men are Senior Dick Filak and Sophomore Eric Johnson. Tom Winner, a 5-10, 175-pound Senior from Ridgewood, N. J., will be switched from end and given a shot at the flanker- back position because of his ability to catch the pigskin. Others on the flank will include Sophomore Pete Rozelle. who came in from St. Mark's School in Dallas to catch 16 passes for 249 yards for the Cubs, and Junior Dick Ciccolella. the Freshman leader in pass-receiving two years ago. Greg Kontos, a 6-4, 210-pound Junior from Sterling, 111., will be the split end. He has good hands, has mastered all the moves, and has the size the staff is look- ing for at that position. Last fall, Kontos snared eight passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns. The tight end on offense will be Senior John Olson. He's a strong blocker, as the tight end must be. and he, too, has the good hands necessary to JULY 1967 87 handle his second responsibility, pass-re- ceiving. The middle of the offensive line, a trouble spot, may be subject to an exten- sive shutfling of personnel. Seniors John Gaydos and Mark Seliga are the veterans at the tackle slots, while another pair of Seniors. Tom Ponosuk and Clint Magniis- sen. will be the men to beat out at the guards. Juniors Bob Potrzeba and Gerry Murphy are the leading candidates at cen- ter. A 6-2. 225-pounder from St. Peter's Prep in Bayonne. N. J.. Murphy may come into his own this fall after missing most of the 1966 campaign with an injury. The Bears and the Oklahoma Defense Bruin fans, accustomed in recent years to watching their team operate out of a 5-3-.^ defense, will see some new align- ments in September. Basically, Brown will use the 5-2 Oklahoma defense, with a four-deep rotating backfield. It will be a stunting-type defense, making full use of the blitz by both linebackers and safety- men. ""We don"t feel that we're big enough or strong enough to sit in a standard de- fense and let them run at us," Jardine says. "We'll stunt to offset the blocking patterns of our opponents and to put our smaller men in a more favorable position." In Jardine's pro-type defense, two line- backers will work as a unit, as will the four deep backs, the latter group using both zone and man-to-man tactics. The two outside men in the four-deep rotating defense will have to be fast, since they fre- quently will play man-for-man on pass coverage. The two inside men should be strong and solid tackles, with speed also a factor if the safety blitz is to work. It would appear that Senior John Ada- miak and Junior Dan Stewart will be the starting defensive ends, with Juniors Dick Dreissigacker in reserve. Co-Captains Tom Whidden and Jerry Batty will give the Bruins exceptional strength at the line- backing posts. Coach Jardine is high on both, especially Whidden, who has the po- tential to be one of the best in the League. In reserve are Senior John Boyle, Juniors Gene Campbell and Dick Murphy, and Sophomore Dave Chenault. "TTie key to our running defense will be the ability of the ends and linebackers to get the job done," Jardine says. "Here, our starters should give us good strength, although once again our reserves are thin." Yablonsfci Rated Highly by Jardine Senior tackle Steve Yablonski is re- garded by his coach as an outstanding in- terior lineman. Battling for the other spot will be a pair of Juniors, Leon Jalbert and Potrzeba. The middle-guard position is a complete question mark, with Junior Bob Christin, a member of the wrestling team, and Dick Lupo among the candidates. For the two outside positions in the defensive backfield. Coach Jardine plans to take a good look at Senior Dave Jollin, Junior John Buxton, and Sophomores Vic Strauss and Roger Emery. For the inside safety spots he will look to Junior John Rallis, Senior Joe Petrucelli, and Sophomores Pat Foley and Charley Lang. Among the many tasks ahead of the staff will be finding able replacements for two-time All-Ivy punting specialist Joe Randall, who is now working out with the St. Louis Cardinals of the NFL, and extra- point man, Tom Mennell. Coach Jardine will have a five-man Var- sity staff working with him this fall. Bob Naughton will handle the offensive interior linemen, tackle to tackle: Jack George will have the offensive running backs; Terry Sheehan the defensive line; Dick Selcer the defensive backs, and Alex Nahigian, who has served at Brown under head coaches Rip Engle, Al Kelly, and John McLaughry, will once again work with the linebackers and head the scouting staff. Jardine plans to work with the quarter- backs and receivers throughout the season, in addition to handling the general super- vision of the entire operation. Another change this year is that Jardine plans to have his Varsity staff on hand for all games, with one or two exceptions. For the most part, scouting assignments will be handled by Nahigian, plus the Freshman staff, which includes Head Coach Bill Gourley, Mike Koval, Phil Coen, Jim Dougherty, and John Hutchinson '67. There will also be new football uni- forms this fall, according to present plans. At home, the Bears will be attired in gold helmets and pants and seal brown jerseys. On the road, the jerseys will be white. Despite all of the changes in offense, defense, and uniform design, alumni should realize that it is not logical to expect sub- stantial improvement in the won and lost column this fall. The material on hand is just not up to Ivy League standards, and a coaching staff of John Heisman, Percy Haughton, Andy Kerr, Pop Warner, and Knute Rockne would be hard pressed to turn out a winning team. Prospects Good for Freshman Team Between January and April, Coach Jar- dine and his staff lived out of suitcases, spending far more time on the road than they did in Providence in an effort to make up for the late start in the recruit- ment of players for this fall's Freshman team. The goal was to attract a sufficient number of quality players so that some progress could be seen at the Varsity level by 1968. The word coming back is that all of these personable young men made a fine impression at Brown Club meetings, with the Guidance Directors and Principals of the schools they visited, and in the homes of the boys they were seek- ing. However, the results of this hard work won't be seen on the gridiron for at least two years. Many alumni are anxious to know what sort of Cub team Brown wiU field this fall. Jardine thinks it will be a good one. There were 50 high school players the Bruin coaching staff made a serious effort to attract to College Hill. Of this group, 32 will be coming to Brown. And, of the 32, Jardine feels that 10 or 12 have excel- lent potential. Any team has to have a good quarter- back, and Jardine feels that he has several fine prospects in Bryan Marini fWeymouth, Mass.) and Bill O'Donnell, who led Loyola Academy to the Chicago Catholic League Championship. Other backs of some po- tential are Spencer Crew, a 6-1, 180- pounder from Orange High in Cleveland: Bill Soriano, a 6-0, 198-pound All-Confer- ence choice from Bloomfield, N. J.; Bob Warren, state low hurdles champion from Wilmington, Del.; and Dana Dube. an outstanding flankerback prospect from Beverly, Mass.

Save the forms for games about which you wish to make later decisions. By presenting your application blanks in the magazine (which goes to every alumnus). Brown will again save the costs that would be involved in separate printing and mailing. In effect for a decade, this procedure has been satisfactory to the Athletic Office ticket department and to football followers. In filling out each coupon for each game you wish to attend, please include the Zip Code number with your address. If you have preference in location (high, low, middle height), please note. Otherwise the Athletic Office will use its best judgment, according to the seats available when your request is processed. Applications are filled in order of their receipt; they get prompt, careful attention. Note that the closing date on each coupon is 15 days before the game in question, and in advance of the general public sale. Your tickets will be mailed 10 days before each game. Applications received later than the closing date are accorded attention, of course, but preferential treatment will no longer be automatic over that given the general public. New prices are in effect this fall for Ivy football. The best seats for home games with Yale, Dartmouth, Harvard, and Columbia are at $5 and $4; although not shown on the application blanks, there is another section of reserved seats for these games at $2.50. These, too, may be ordered by mail. There are tickets at half-price in all sections for children under 12 years of age. None of the tickets is redeemable.

Football preview plus a clambake FOR THE 19th time, the Brown Club of Rhode Island will sponsor a Clambake- Scrimmage, an event that has become one of the features of the fall season. This year, the affair will be held on Friday, Sept. 15, according to Chairman Frank Sternberg '50. Traditionally, this is a day filled with fun, football, and food, for the 350 or so alumni who attend. The format includes a pre-game luncheon, including chowder, clamcakes, and beer, at Marvel Gym at noon, followed by an intra-squad scrim- mage at Brown Field at 2. There will be added interest in the action this year since for most of the old grads it will be their first opportunity to see a Len Jardine- coached team in action. A press confer- ence will follow the scrimmage before all hands adjourn to Peleg Francis Farm for the cocktail hour at 5 and bake at 6:30. Chairman Sternberg has announced that the Clambake-Scrimmage will be open to all Brown men, whether or not they are members of the Brown Club of Rhode Island, the sponsoring organization. How- ever, only those having bake tickets will be admitted to the scrimmage and press conference. Prizes at the bake will include six sets of season tickets. Brown slides, and the RCA Victor record, H^'riston & Brown. With limitation on the number to whom the bake may be served, applications for tickets will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis while the supply lasts. Tickets covering the entire day may be purchased in advance for $8.50 by writ- ing to Chairman Sternberg at 20 Prim- rose Hill, Barrington, R. I. 02806 or by calling him at the office (EL 1-4600) or at home (246-1083). Tickets purchased on the day of the bake will be $9. All checks should be made payable to "Brown Club of Rhode Island." Assisting Chairman Sternberg are John O'Leary '41 and Hugo R. Mainelli, Jr., '58. For Prompt News Now IN ITS I 2th year, the Sports Newsletter is one of the best buys available to the sports-minded aliraini. Ed- ited by Pete McCarthy, Director of Sports Information, this weekly publication is ideal for alumni and friends of the Uni- versity who want a regular inside look at the athletic program and who find cover- age in their hometown papers inadequate. The format will remain basicaUy the same as in the past. It will include a brief review of highlights from the action of the previous week, the outlook for the coming contests, individual and team statistics, and comments from the coaches. Also avail- able are two other fine publications, the 60-page Brown football brochure and the winter-sports brochure. The Sports Newsletter is mailed each Monday (about 30 issues a year) when the teams are active. The price to alumni and friends is $7.50 for the entire package, a price that merely covers the cost of pro- ducing and mailing. McCarthy produces the newsletter strictly as a service to the alumni. Also available this fall will be copies of the six home football programs. Twice in the last four years, the Brown game pro- grams have been judged the best in the na- tion. The cost for six programs, which many alumni save as souvenirs, is $3. Follow the Bruins through 1967-68 Mail your application noxv!

Coach Stan Ward's baseball team went through a rebuilding year, winning seven of 16 games. The Bears were 2-7 in the League, defeating Navy and Penn, and split the four-game State series with URI and Providence College. It was an odd season for Coach Ward and his men. Because of the cold, wet spring, and because Aldrich-Dexter Field did not drain, the Bruins were limited to five days when they could hold practice sessions. In addition, only two of the home games could be played on the Varsity field. Four were transferred to the Fresh- man diamond, which was in only slightly better condition, and one had to be played at Moses Brown. In June of 1966, graduation took Dave Kadison and Tom Niederer. a pair of power hitters who subsequently signed pro baseball contracts. This year's club was further weakened by the ineligibility of Tom Skenderian, who earned All-Ivy hon- ors last year as a Sophomore when he led the EIBL with a .514 average, and by the early-season loss of second baseman Jesse Jupiter, who was a second team All-Ivy choice in 1966. With Junior Jupiter sidelined. Coach Ward found himself with an all-Sopho- more infield of John Rallis at first. Gene Dubay at second, Dan Stewart at third, and Hal Phillips at short. Two of the out- fielders who played extensively were Dave Homer and Russ Cozier, also second-year men. A third outfielder, Mike Maznicki, was playing his first Varsity season. "We knew with the loss of Skenderian our hopes of being a contender vanished, and 1967 became a rebuilding year," Coach Ward said. "We also knew that this was a young club and that, even under ideal conditions, we'd have erratic days and make mental errors. And weather con- ditions this spring were far from ideal, making it almost impossible for a coach to get to know his ball club." For a young team, the Bears played good ball. They didn't hit as well as was expected, but they were in every game they played except two. A key hit in the right place might have made a big differ- ence, especially late in the campaign when the Bruins lost three games by one-run margins to Army, 5-4, Columbia, 6-5, and Princeton, 2-1. JULY 1967 91 THE OLD-TIMERS' NINE before the Field Day game: Front row, left to right: Philip Lopides '46, Adolph N. Anderson, Jr., '50, Dr. Walter V. F. Jusczyk '41, Umpire Bill Holloran, Jay Barry '50, Frederick C. Brodo '59. Back row— Robert W. Brokow '38, Ralph I. Wilcox '48, Coach Stan Ward, Charles A. An- drews, Jr., '51, and Alan H. Young '64. (They tied the Varsity.) Stewart, the big third baseman, paced the team in batting with a .333 average. A longball hitter, he had four doubles, three triples, and a home run among his 17 safe- ties. Senior outfielder Steve Wiley hit .324, while Rallis had a .262 mark that included a team high of 11 runs batted in. Senior center fielder John Hutchinson was bril- liant defensively. In the pitching department, Junior Jay Hedlund led the staff with a 3-2 record and a 2.76 earned run average. He became a pitcher of finesse, setting up the batters with his good assortment of stuff. Art Di- Martino, the ace southpaw who was 5-2 as a Sophomore, had a 3-3 record and a 3.59 ERA. Junior Jack Hefferon was 1-2 with a 2.88 ERA, while Frank Ward, the former Moses Brown star, finally came into his own in several late-season out- ings. Marty Feller, son of Hall of Fame hurler, Bob Feller, made one appearance on the hill but was not involved in the de- cision. Looking to the future. Coach Ward feels that the foundation has been laid for a fine 1968 season, when the Bears could make a run for the title. His Sophomore infield will return intact and with more ex- perience, anchored by Phillips at short, a glove man Ward rates second only to Fran Pittaro '60 among the shortstops he"s seen at Brown. All of his pitchers will be back, and the team should get a substantial lift at the plate with the return of Skenderian and Jupiter. This year's Cub team, which was not as good as its record would indicate, will of- fer only limited help to the Varsity. Mike Kreidman, who was captain of baseball, basketball, and soccer at Dwight Morrow High, Englewood, N. J., should be a fine Varsity catcher. Clay Dovey, baseball Cap- tain from Johnstown, Pa., and Mercers- burg Academy, had a .350 batting average for the Cubs and may fill the Varsity's need for a hard-hitting outfielder. Cub Coach Alan Young had three pitch- ers with Varsity potential. Dick Schainker was 3-1 with a 3.08 ERA and struck out 44 men in 35 innings. He's from Univer- sity City High School, University, Mo., where he was MVP. Fred Armenti, Cap- tain at Hamilton High in Trenton, and Bob Stein of Uniondale High, Uniondale, N. J., compiled respectable records on the mound. Lacrosse: late games and brighter promise A POWER IN LACROSSE in recent years, Coach Cliff Stevenson's Brains slipped down a notch this season, although finish- ing with an 8-6 record and a 3-3 mark against Ivy competition. An excellent Freshman team gives Stevenson hope that his Bears will rebound in the years ahead. Brown got off to a slow start, one of the reasons being that the team was forced to open up against some of the toughest teams in the country without a practice game under its belt, due to the miserable spring weather. There were other prob- lems. Junior Bill Kowalski, last year's third leading scorer with 41 points, was below par early in the year with a case of mononucleosis, Senior defenseman Bob Rice broke an ankle in the third game, and Ivy League Baseball Final Standing College W L T PC Dartmouth 7 2 .778 Army 6 2 .750 Princeton 5 2 .714 Cornell 5 3 .625 Harvard 5 3 .625 Navy 5 4 .556 Yale 3 5 .375 BROWN 2 7 .222 Columbia 2 7 .222 Penn 2 7 .222 Ivy Leagu e Lacrosse Final Standing College W L Pts.

There was a bright side to the season, as Coach Stevenson saw it. He was particu- larly pleased with the way some of his Sophomores and Juniors gradually devel- oped and played a part in Brown's strong finish. Junior Bill Batty became a solid defenseman, as did Sophomore Frank Schofield. Sophomore Bill Dean moved into the attack position and helped pick up the team. Coach Stevenson is also high on second-year midfielder John Bux- ton, along with four other Sophomores in that position. Jim Medoff, Ron Seff, Mike Levy, and Greg Elliott. And Sophomore goalies Roger Bollenton and Roger Mc- Mahon improved rapidly as the season moved along. As these Sophomores and Juniors began to acquire experience and savvy, the Bra- ins started to click as a club. In the last four games. Brown lost a heartbreaker to undefeated Cornell and then ended up by overwhelming UConn, 18-3, Wesleyan, 14-5, and Penn, 12-4. The Bears were especially effective against Penn. using four different offenses while ripping the Penn zone defense to pieces. Cornell had won 19 games in a row when they came to Providence, but the Big Red had to pull out all the stoppers to gain an 8-6 decision, after being held to a 2-2 halftime tie. The Freshman team, which lost only two games, surprised the Varsity early in the year by beating them, 9-6, in a game- scrimmage. According to Stevenson, this was the first time his Varsity had ever lost to a Cub team. Among the Freshmen play- ers who are expected to help the Varsity are Bob Anthony of Bethpage, L. I., Rick Buck of the Gilman School in Baltimore, and Al Henderson out of Leavittown Divi- sion Avenue School on Long Island. Stevenson says that Anthony is the best natural attack man he has ever coached. In 10 games, he scored 48 goals and 24 assists for 72 points. His total is an all- time Cub scoring record, shattering the mark set four years ago by George Armi- ger, who was 54-9-63. Anthony's scoring statistics are interesting: Hofstra 4-2-6, Yale 5-4-9, Dartmouth 4-4-8, Princeton 6-0-6, Harvard 3-5-8, Wesleyan 6-3-9, Ta- bor 7-2-9, Andover 2-0-2, Long Island Ag- gies 3-1-4, and Holy Cross 8-3-11. "This boy is quick, has all the moves, and knows where that cage is," Stevenson says. "By using him with Dean and Kowalski on at- tack next spring we should have more fire power up front." 92 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Dean led the Varsity scorers this season with 27 points on 19 goals and eight as- sists. He was followed by Kowalski (23- 2-25), Armiger (19-3-22), Howie Zeskind (9-11-20), Mike Levy (5-11-16), Jim VanBlarcom (8-6-14), Bob Davis (6-5- 11), and Medoff (1-9-10). Kowalski led in goals scored with 23. Against the Ivies, Kowalski was sixth in the League with 12 points; Dean and Zeskind each had 10. Rowing: satisfaction over the IRA finish A SIXTH PLACE FINISH in the Intercolle- giate Rowing Association Regatta on Lake Onondaga closed out a fairly success- ful season for the Brown crew, which has become accustomed to success in recent years. Unfortunately, Coach Vic Michal- son is not nearly as optimistic about the future, due mainly to a thin Freshman boat that went 0-6 on the year. In the IRA, Penn lived up to its pre- race role of favorite and swept to victory by a margin of two lengths over Wiscon- sin in the three-mile Varsity race, her first triumph in this classic since 1900. Cornell finished third, followed by Princeton, Navy, and then Brown in the 16-boat field. Coach Michalson was well pleased with the performance of his Varsity boat. "I felt we'd be up in the top half if we were on the ball," he said. "We were up there in the top half, and I'm certainly satisfied. 1 thought for a while we might catch Prince- ton and Navy, but they were too strong for us." The lineup for the IRA had Greg Nesty at bow, Brian Barbata, No. 2, Norm Miller, No. 3, Bill Ball, No. 4. Albin Mo- ser. No. 5, Scott Hensel. No. 6, Dick Dreissigacker, No. 7, Capt. Jay Ambrosini, stroke, and Dick Honig, coxswain. It was the last outing for Nesty, Barbata, Ball, Moser, Hensel, Ambrosini. and Honig. Moser, Hensel, and Ambrosini, three-year veterans in the Brown Varsity boat, were members of the 1964 Freshman crew which finished second in the IRA, beaten only by Wisconsin. For Senior Bill Ball, the IRA was the final chapter in an unusual success story. The 6-2, 200-pounder from Block Island didn't turn out for crew until his Junior year, and he didn't move into the Varsity boat until after the Eastern Sprints at Worcester. When he finally made it, no- body was able to move him out. One of the highlights of the year was Brown's smashing 9 '/z -length victory over Syracuse in a two-mile race on Lake Onon- daga a week before the Eastern's. This was the first race in a home-and-home re- gatta with this old rowing institution. However, as Coach Michalson points out, the future of the regatta promises signifi- cant change, since the Cubs were trounced by the Syracuse Tangerines by 10 lengths. The Varsity did a fairly good job the next week in the Sprints. Stroked by Am- brosini, the Bruins just missed qualifying for the finals in a photo-finish morning heat with Yale, Boston University, Wis- consin, and Dartmouth. THEY'RE WORKING on the new boothouse for Brown crews, 1o bear the name of Hunter S. Marston '08. The sketch gives an artist's rendering of the Seekonk River facility. The Junior Varsity took a 5-1 record into the Eastern's, bowing only to Harvard by three tenths of a second. In the morn- ing trials, the JV finished second only to Penn. In the finals that afternoon, the Bruins were fifth. However, this was the first time that a Brown JV boat has ever made the finals of this annual Worcester regatta. At the atmual Crew dinner held in the Chancellor's Dining Room of the Sharpe Refectory on May 27, awards were pre- sented to Captain Ambrosini, Lloyd S. Broomhead '49, Secretary-Treasurer of the L. M. Carr Co., Providence, and Chesley Worthington '23, Editor of this magazine. The awards, three miniature Brown oars, are presenetd annually to an undergrad- uate, a graduate, and a friend of the Brown Rowing Association for outstanding contributions to the rowing program. The officers of the BRA were re-elected for another year. They are President — Robert S. Holding '14; Vice-President — Robert O. Read; Secretary — William B. McCormick '23; Treasurer — George S. Kirkpatrick '56. Newly elected to the Board of Stewards for a three-year term were: Alexander A. DiMartino '29, Charles H. Doebler, 4th, '48, and Clifford "Tip" Goes, veteran rowing enthusiast and official and former Chairman of the U.S. Olympic Rowing Committee. Track: Coach Fuqua had another winner FOR THE FIFTH STRAIGHT YEAR, the track forces of Coach Ivan Fuqua ended the season in the black. This time, the record was 5-2. In post-season meets, the Bruins finished seventh in the Heps and tied with Rhode Island for sixth in the New Eng- lands, held at B.C. this spring. In both 1965 and 1966, when the Bears posted identical 6-1 records, each time the lone defeat was administered by Harvard. This spring, the Crimson once again proved too tough, winning by 113-40 in the open- ing meet of the season. Then, after split- ting a triangular meet, losing to Penn and taking Columbia, the Bruins swept through Holy Cross, Wesleyan, Dartmouth, and URI. Tim Fahey, a Junior from Chevy Chase, Md., took scoring honors for the year with 93 '/4 points. His speciality is the triple jump. Other leading scorers were Senior Jim Ackroyd, with 93 points in the 440 hurdles and 120 highs; Junior Jim Wich, a half-miler who garnered 88>/2 points; Soph- omore Sandy Stoddary, who put 79 points together in the shot and javelin; and Jun- ior Chip Ennis, who had 75 points while doubling in the mile and two-mile. Three Brown records were broken dur- ing the course of the season. Stoddard, a 6-0, 210-pounder from Port Washington, N. Y., tossed the javelin 214 feet, three inches to better the previous mark of 212- 9'/2 set by Alan Miller '66 in 1965. Ack- royd did the 440 intermediate hurdles in 54.1 at the Heps to lower the 54.8 clock- ing set by Jim Moreland '61. And Ennis had a 9:04.3 in the two-mile during the Penn Relays, bettering the 9:05.8 record set by Bobby Lowe '61 in 1961. Brown fared poorly in the Heps, coming in seventh ahead of only Penn, Dartmouth, and Columbia. Army made a successful defense of its title, winning with 74 VS points. Other scores were Navy 52, Cor- nell 45, Harvard 44, Yale 43, Princeton 17'/2, Brown 5, Penn 4, and Dartmouth 2. Columbia did not score. Ackroyd led the Bruins with a fourth- place finish in the 440-yard intermediate JULY 1967 93 hurdle race when he broke Moreland"s record. Other Brown scorers included Stoddard with a heave of 208-1 in the javelin. Ennis with a 9:06.4 in the two- mile, and the 440-yard-relay team. That quartet, made up of Les Corwin, John Robinson, Tom Leniire, and George Lister, was clocked in 43.7 as compared with 42.3 for Harvard's winning team. Central Connecticut took the New Eng- lands with 34 points, while Brown and URI each had 15 to gain a tie for fifth place. Seven athletes helped the Bears compile their 15 points, none of them finishing better than third. Fahey, who had won the triple jump in this event a year ago. managed 45 feet, 10 inches and settled for a third. He also was fifth in the broad jump. Wich ran a 1:53.2 in the 880 for another third, and Brown added four fourth-place finishes — Stoddard in the jave- hn, Ennis in the two-mile, Ackroyd in the -140 hurdles, and the mile-relay team of Herschel Bird, Dave Strawbridge, Ack- royd, and Wich. On the Freshman front, three more records were set by the team that finished 3-4. Mike Neer, who is the bright hope on the basketball front, showed he's no stranger to the track by setting a Cub high jump record of 6-6'/i. This broke the old Freshman record of 6-5 '/i set by Dick PhilUps '50. Coach Fuqua predicts a bright future for Neer, a 6-6 lad from Alexandria, Va. Steve Robertson had a 57.3 clocking in the 440 intermediate hurdles, breaking the mark of 59.6 estabhshed by Tom Lemire '69. The oldest Cub record on the books to be broken was the 220-yard dash mark of 22.0 set by John Davis '36. Steve Wa- lach, a former Rhode Island All-State performer from St. Raphael's Academy, lowered the mark to 21.7. The leading scorer for the Cubs was Greg Ouelette from Wareham, Mass. He had 112 points in the broad jump, long jump, triple jump, and 100-yard dash. Other high point men included Walach, Chris Banus, a promising distance runner, and Rick Schomp and Bruce Wentworth, both in the shot. Other runners who should be heard from in the future include BiU Marble and Ulrich Greilich, both of whom were members of the fine Cub mile- relay team. Rugby: international ambitions and credit SEVERAL GIANT STEPS forward were taken by the Brown Rugby Club this spring, with the Bruins proving conclusively that they could play with the best this country and at least three foreign countries had to offer. Facing a schedule that was the toughest in the school's history, the Bears compiled a 10-7-1 record, giving them a 19-7-1 mark for the fall and spring seasons combined. Brown's record was 6-2-1 against East- ern competition, 3-3 against the West, and 1-2 in international matches. "We could have compiled a much better record if we had limited ourselves to games against RUGBY ACTION: The Bears bowed to the English invaders before a big Field Day crowd. East Coast clubs," player-coach Dave Zuc- coni said, "but we felt an obligation to play the best teams available. We feel that we have brought both glory and prestige to Brown athletics by participating in the Santa Catalina and Virginia tourneys and by playing teams from Canada, South America, and England." The highhghts of the home season were the matches with the 10-time Argentine national Rugby champions from the Uni- versity Club of Buenos Aires and with the Clifton Rugby Club of Chfton, England, both of which drew large and enthusiastic crowds to Aldrich-Dexter Field. Brown lost both of these intemationa] matches, after having defeated the To- ronto Saracens, 36-0, earlier in the season. Near the end of a nigged battle in the mud, the Argentinians scored to break a 3-3 tie and gain an 8-3 decision. The men from Clifton, who have toured France, Belgium, Germany, and Italy in previous years, finished off a 40-game season with a five-game American swing. The Bruins thrilled an Alumni Field Day crowd of several thousand by coming from behind to take an 8-3 lead, only to see the visitors finish strong for a 15-8 decision. Both foreign groups were impressed with the hospitaUty shown by the host club. Members of both teams met with Governor Chafee, received Brown ban- ners for their club houses, and individual players were presented Brown pennants and cigarette lighters marked with the Brown crest as mementos of their visit. The team from Buenos Aires was en- tertained at a Brown Rugby Club party at the Tower Club rooms during its April visit, with the Chattertocks on hand to sing tunes with both an American and Latin American beat. The Clifton ruggers, who were on Campus during Commencement Week End, were guests of the host club at both the Campus Dance and Pops Con- cert and met President Heffner at his Sun- day reception. Jeff Garberson '67 of Sydney, Australia, led Brown in scoring with 53 points, trailed closely by Mike Diffily '67 with 48 points. Diffily's 16 tries set a Brown single- season record, eclipsing the previous high of 12 set by Eric Lane '65 during the 1964 (16-2) season. Diffily also set the Eastern Rugby Union try record for a forward. Other scorers included: Jay Fluck '65 (18), Dave Olson '67 and Toby Kissam '67 (15), Dave Zucconi '55 and Charlie Edwards '69 (9), Jon Lambert '68 and Terry Boyle '67 (6), John Adamiak '68, Bob Harrison GS, Joe Lawless '68, and Mike Robson '70 (3). The Rugby Club's plans for next year include a defense of its Penn State Cham- pionship in the fall, participation in the Commonwealth Cup Tourney at the Uni- versity of Virginia in the spring, and spon- sorship of the first annual Ivy League Rugby Tourney at Providence in early May. Golf: Still on the Upgrade Substantial improvement was shown by the golf team this spring. Coach Allan Soares' men were 7-9 on the season, fifth among the Ivies, and a very respectable ninth in the Easterns. A year ago, the Bruins came out of the woods with a 5-8 season after being 2-23 during the two previous campaigns. Among the highlights of the season were the victories over Penn (5-2), believed to be the first over the Quakers, Columbia (6-1), Bucknell (4-3), and Lafayette (4- 3). Four of the nine defeats were 4-3 losses to Providence, Wesleyan, UConn, and Dartmouth. Providence eventually won the New England championship and went to the NCAAs, yet their 4-3 decision over the Bears included two overtime matches that could have gone either way. "With the exception of the matches with Penn State and Harvard," Soares said, "I think on a given day we could have handled any team on our schedule. The team was better than its record indicates. The fact that all of our players had five handicaps or better and we were still 7-9 gives you some idea of the level of com- petition. Also, the fact that only four of our 16 matches were played on a 'home' course didn't help." Sophomore Ted Oatis, the Junior cham- pion at Ohio's Toledo Country Club, the 94 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY last four years, led the Bruins on the sea- son with a 10-6 individual record, includ- ing a 4-2 Ivy mark. He was runner-up in the Ohio high school championships in 1965 and last summer won the Northwest Ohio Junior title. He finished strong this spring for the Bruins, winning seven of his last eight matches. Another second-year man, Win Major, came in with a 9-7 record, as did Senior Bill Rashman. Major, who enjoys a 2 handicap at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, was 1-5 against Ivy competi- tion. Rashman ended with a career record of 18-10 and a 7-6 Ivy mark. He plays to a 4 handicap at Westwood Country Club in Rochester, N. Y. Other scorers were Senior Steve Bettencourt (8-8), Junior Bob Roche (6-10), Senior John Crosby (6-10), Junior Jack Norwell (4-10), and Sophomore Kevin Seaman (0-2). Brown made an excellent showing in the Easterns, with seven of the Bruins scoring under 160. Yet, it was good for only a ninth-place finish. The Bears trailed the championship Penn State team. Navy, Army, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, and Holy Cross but finished ahead of Syracuse, Georgetown, Dartmouth, Penn, Pittsburgh, Columbia, and Colgate. Crosby was Brown's best scorer in the Easterns with an 81-74-155. Bettencourt had a 156, Roche and Major 157 each, and Rashman 158. The total score of these top five men gave Brown a team score of 783. Penn State won the title with a 729. Tennis: A Losing Season In a year where rebuilding was inevi- table, the tennis team compiled a 3-12 rec- ord. Among the members of the Ancient Eight, plus Army and Navy, Coach Jim Dougherty's forces were 0-9. On the sea- son, the Bruins were outscored, 92-36. Brown had started to make progress on the courts a year ago, finishing 7-6 over all, the first winning campaign since 1960. However, that was a Senior team, from which five of the top players were grad- uated in 1966. Returning to form the bulk of this year's team were six Juniors, four Sophomores, and one Senior, Shaw Yount. Of this group, only Yount and Juniors Rick Klaffky and John Mogulescu had any Varsity experience. "We certainly didn't have an overpower- ing team to begin with," Coach Dougherty Ivy League Te nnis Final Standing College W L T PC Yale 8 1.000 Princeton 8 1 .889 Penn 5 2 .714 Harvard 6 3 .667 Dartmouth 5 3 .625 Navy 4 5 .444 Army 3 5 .375 Cornell 2 6 .250 Columbia 1 8 .111 BROWN 9 .000 says. "But our almost complete lack of Varsity experience compounded the prob- lem in that the team wasn't able to play consistent tennis against the teams it had a chance to beat." Dougherty did have praise for four men. He felt that Klaffky, who played the season at number one, showed good form at this level of competition. He terms Mogulescu the best number 3 man in the League and feels that Junior Kit Sumner at No. 5 and Gregory "Spike" Gonzales at No. 4 showed promise. The Cub team, which had a 5-4 record, will provide help by sending along five good men: Curt Bennett, the hockey star, Malcolm Chester, Dave Hatfield, Keith Powers, and Jeff Kaplan. "These men will give me more flexibihty next spring," Dougherty says. "The season of 1968 will be a season for experimenting. It could be interesting." WHEN BROWN and Columbia met this year at Tennis Indoors, New York City, its owner, Leon Soloway '43, right, posed with Coach Dougherty and the Captain of the Bruins, Rick Klaffky. HONORING (right to left) Denny Macks, Jim Daniels, and John Hutchinson is Dick Theibert. Trophies of the late spring THREE Senior athletes were honored at the Class dinner in June with tradi- tional awards. Dennis Macks, the Bruins' hockey captain from Sudbury, Ont., re- ceived the Fritz Finkler Trophy as the Senior "who by giving unselfishly of his time, effort, and energy has made an out- standing contribution to athletics at Brown." Twice an All-Ivy and All-New England forward. Macks ranks third among Brown's all-time scoring leaders with 131 career points. The Finkler Tro- phy honors the memory of Brown's 1961 Varsity hockey manager, who was killed in an auto accident four years ago; the award was established in 1963 by Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity. To John W. Hutchinson of Hopedale, Mass., Co-Captain and center fielder of the baseball team, went the Edward H. Weeks Trophy, which is awarded annually to "that member of the Varsity baseball JULY 1967 team who through sportsmanship, per- formance, and influence contributed most to the sport at Brown." Hutch was a three- year letterman in both baseball and foot- ball. In football in 1965 he set the all-time Brown record for passes caught in one season, 41. James W. Daniels of Elmhurst, lU., re- ceived the Class of 1910 Trophy as the Senior "who has been a member of the Varsity football team for three years, who has received a letter, and who has com- piled the highest academic average for the first seven semesters." Daniels, a Political Science major, earned three Varsity letters as an ofl'ensive center, was named to the Dean's list six times, and compiled a 3.25 average for his first seven semesters. Steve Gluckman of Roslyn, N. Y. re- ceived the Class of 1907 Award in June for "academic achievement, athletic abihty, and leadership contributions." Gluckman, 95 a pre-med student and Co-Captain of the wrestling team, had better than a 3,0 av- erage for four years and compiled a life- time mat mark of 21-S-2. He was also notninated this spring by the University as a candidate for the coveted District I NC.\.^ Fellowship, Now in its third year, the Fellowship is awarded to the Senior in District I who best combines ability in the classroom and on the athletic field, John Kelly "65. fullback on the football team, won the NCAA award the first year it was presented. The following received the Brown Key Society's Sportsmanship Award, which is given for the recipient's contribution to his team as exhibited by his sportsmanship, leadership, and spirit: baseball — Steve Wi- ley, Saddile River, N. J,: basketball — Dave Gale, Port Washington. N. Y.; crew — Alhin Moser, Adams, Mass.; cross country — Dave Ennis, Kingston, N, Y,; football — W\-nn Jessup, Narberth, Pa,; golf — Steve Bettencourt, Belmont, Mass,; hockey — Dermis Macks, Sudbury, Ont,; lacrosse — George Armiger, Baltimore; rugby — -Mike Diffily, Yonkers, N. Y,; winter track — Herschel Bird, Brooklyn; spring track — Jim Ackroyd, Providence; soccer — Gary Kaufman, Wantagh, N, Y,; swimming — Dick Emery, New Rochelle, N, Y,; tennis — Dick Klaffky, Huntington, N, Y.; wres- tling — Steve Gluckman, Roslyn, N. Y. Sports Shorts THE YEAR 1967 is the one in the Ivy League football rotation in which Yale, Dartmouth. Harvard, and Columbia all play at Brown Field. The games away call for travel to the more distant rivals' fields — Penn, Princeton, and Cornell, The Ath- letic Director is aware that the scheduling is far from ideal and hopes to arrange var- iation in the future, though the home-and- home arrangement has certainly been more favorable in general than the policy of a decade ago. There is no problem in remembering the starting times for 1967 football: every single game, even those before Daylight Saving ends, has a kickoff at 1 :30. Fritz Pollard '!9, one of Brown's all- time gridiron greats and a member of the National Football Hall of Fame, was on Campus this spring. The occasion was the second annual awards banquet of the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame, to which Fritz was made a member. His cre- dentials to enter the Hall were the fame he brought Brown and Rhode Island with his fantastic feats on the football field during the 1915 and 1916 seasons and in the first annual Rose Bow] game between Brown and Washington State on Jan. 1, 1916, In the family group with Pollard were his son, Fritz, Jr., '37, and his strapping 185- pound grandson, Fritz 3rd. The youngster plays football and basketball at a junior high school in Chicago and already has had a sales pitch on Brown from his grandfather. Among those attending the dinner was Edgar J. "Spike" Staff '15, who played with Fritz on the Rose Bowl team. Joe Buonanno '34 presented the award to Pollard. Alan Fishman, Bruin basketball Captain, was selected as Jewish Athlete of the Year by the Rhode Island Jewish Bowling Con- gress. He received his award Commence- ment Monday at a dinner attended by his coach, Stan Ward, and Bill Russell, player- coach of the Boston Celtics. He is the fourth Bniin to be so honored in the last six years. Mike Cingiser '62, all-time scor- ing leader in basketball, won the award in 1962, and was followed by Alan Young '64 and Steve Kadison '66. Fishman moved into ninth spot in the all-time Brown scoring race with 835 points in basketball. In April. Fishman was a member of the Eastern All-Star squad which played two games with the Ignis team of Varese, It- aly, The Americans were coached by Joe Mullaney of Providence College for the contests that were a feature of the Rhode Island Italian Festival, Leaders of five of Brown's spring sports teams for the 1968 season have been an- nounced by Director of Athletics, Dick Theibert, Art DiMartino, left-handed hurler from Wantagh, N. Y., was elected Baseball Captain; Jerry Batty of Barring- ton and John Holschuh of Huntington, N, Y,, Co-Captains in lacrosse; Bob Roche of Montclair, N. J., golf; Dave En- nis of Kingston, N. Y., track; and Dick Klaffky of Huntington, N. Y., and John Mogulescu of Brooklyn, N. Y., co-leaders in tennis. Batty is also Captain of the 1967 Bruin football team. Midfielder George Armiger of Balti- more and defenseman Tom Stranko of Ambridge, Pa., a pair of Seniors, were named to the 1967 All-Ivy lacrosse first team. For Armiger, it was the third straight time on the All-Ivy squad and the second consecutive year on the first team. An Ail-American selection in 1966, Armi- ger was selected to play in the first North- South all-star game this June and helped pace his team to victory with an unassisted goal. The year's ledger VARSITY SPORTS On College Hill enjoyed less success during 1966-67 than in re- cent years. The over-all record showed 87 victories and 99 defeats. A year ago the Bruins were 107-80-1; in 1964-65 it was 92-98-3. Against the tough Ivy competi- tion, there was also a drop-off this year. The record was 33-61, as compared with 47-46 last year and 37-53-2 in 1964-65. Only the fall season ended in the black, 16-11 over all and 9-8 Ivy. The sport mainly responsible, of course, was soccer with an 11-1 over all and a 7-0 Ivy slate. Cross country was 4-2 and football 1-8. Leading the way in the winter were hockey (14-11) and track (7-2). In the spring, only lacrosse (8-6) and track (5-2) had winning seasons. Including cross country plus winter and spring track, Coach Ivan Fuqua's men were 16-6 on the season and 7-5 against the Ivies. On the Freshman front, the totals were 72-62-2. The 11-0 soccer season enabled the fall teams to end ahead, 13-10. The winter record was 38-31-2, paced by the 13-4 hockey slate. This spring, the record leveled off at 21-21, with the 8-2 lacrosse team leading the way. Against Ivy compe- tition, the Freshman aggregate was a poor 17-32, with soccer (3-0), wrestling (3-2), hockey (4-3, and lacrosse (3-1) the only ones in the black.

Benford '27, Engineering, and Prof. Arlan R. Coolidge 74, Music, retired last month. Both have seen spec- tacular developments in their Departments; they were responsible for much of it. Professor Benford began his teaching right after graduation 40 years ago, Dr. Heffner pointed out in speaking of the re- tirements in his report to the Corporation in June. "Except for four years in the Navy in World War II. he has been an active and valued member of the faculty ever since, rising to the rank of Professor in 1957. "He served as Executive Officer of the Division of Engineering from 1957 until last year and then agreed to serve as co- ordinator of the Brown-Tougaloo Cooper- ative Program for this year. I have been at Tougaloo recently and was not surprised After 67 Years of Fine Teaching: Benford and Coolidge Retire to find that there, as here. Bill's quiet, dedicated, and effective service has been much appreciated." The expansion of the Engineering Division into Barus and Holley Building and the Prince Laboratory took place while Professor Benford was Executive Officer. He is a captain in the Civil Engineer Corps of the Naval Reserve and in 1962 was voted Rhode Island "Engi- neer of the 'V'ear." Professor Coolidge retires after a career at Brov^-n of almost equal length, including 24 years as Chairman of the Department of Music, When he succeeded Prof. Gene Ware in 1930, he was the only member of this Department, which today has a strong, creative Faculty of 11. In 1930, Professor Coolidge gave the two courses offered, in appreciation of music; the present cata- logue lists 30 courses, including theory, applied music, a program leading to the Ph.D., and a score of opportunities for performance through closely-allied musical organizations. Research and composition are companions to all the other activity, upon which Professor Coolidge can look with great satisfaction. Before returning to Brown in 1930, Pro- fessor Coolidge had been a violinist with the New York Philharmonic and Cincin- nati Symphony Orchestras and had attended Juilliard and the State Academy of Music in Vienna. Although not officially listed as Chairman of his small Department until 1939, he performed the duties of that office from the start, retiring from the chairmanship in 1963. He has held the rank of Professor since 1950. Reporting the retirement to the Corpo- ration, Dr. Heffner said: "In addition to his work in building and sustaining an aca- demic program in music at the University, Professor Coolidge has been active in state and national organizations of music teach- ers, in Providence chamber and symphony orchestras, and in community organiza- tions devoted to the arts. He was the first President of the Rhode Island Fine Arts Council." "We hope to keep Professors Benford and Coolidge involved in University af- fairs," President Heffner said at the Alumni Dinner in speaking of their serv- ices with appreciation that paralleled his remarks to the Corporation. COOLIDGE: He built a strong Department In his 37 years on the Faculty. JULY 1967 BENFORD: Engineering's Executive Officer. 97 The Brown Clubs Report THE NEW PRESIDENT of the Associated Alumni, Alexander A. DiMartino '29, left, received his badge of office at the Alumni Dinner from his predecessor, Donald Campbell '45. Rhode Island Leaders DR. Walter V. F.

Serving with him will be the following: President-Elect — John C. Edgren '38, Vice-President — Andrew M. Hunt '51, Secretary — Jay Barry '50, Treasurer — Alfred S. Reynolds •48. A scholar-athlete at West Warwick High, Dr. Jusczyk became one of the first Honor Roll boys selected by the Providence Journal. At Brown, he became one of the finest collegiate pitchers in the country, combining a dancing knuckle ball and a high hard one to baffle the batters. After a year in the Brooklyn Dodger farm sys- tem, he entered Tufts Dental School, grad- uating in 1944. He is a Past President and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Rhode Island State Dental Society and President of the Kent County Dental So- ciety. The Board of Directors of the Club is as follows: three-year term — Bernard V. Buonanno, Jr., '60. Harold W. Demopulos '46, Peter T. Barstow "57, Joseph A. Brian '47. Martin J. Moran, Jr., '58, R.

Once again the Brown Club will sponsor the event in conjunction with the Pembroke College Club of Providence. Nearly 100 were on hand for the annual dinner, including 55 who tried their luck on the difficult Wannamoisett golf course in the afternoon. Following dinner, Chair- man Demopulos introduced Tracy, who passed the Brown Club's cane on to his successor. Dr. Jusczyk. In appreciation of his services over the past year, members of the Board of Directors presented Tracy with a Brown chair. Len Jardine, head football coach, was the main speaker and had his entire staff with him at the head table. Long Island's Quarterly The spring meeting of the Long Island Brown Club was held at the King's Grant Steakhouse, Plainville, N. Y., on May 4, with Professor Salvatore Sutera of the En- gineering Department as featured speaker. Presiding was John J. Roe, 3rd, '57, Club President. At a brief business meeting, Richard D. Goldenberg '58 was selected to serve as Secretary for 1967-68. His address is 1197 East Broadway, Hewlett, Long Island. Treasurer John C. Hawkins '53 continues in office, as does Secondary Schools Chair- man Edward G. Rundquist '27. The Club's next activity is a Freshman Send-OfF, scheduled for Bellport, N .Y., on Aug. 26. The final event of the 1967 schedule will be a chartered bus trip to the Princeton football game next fall. Pre- liminary plans indicate that we will leave from one or more central locations on the Island during the morning, arriving in time for a picnic lunch before the game. Afterwards, the group will stop at the Trenton Brown Club cocktail party before returning to Long Island for a bufl'et din- Workman in Cincinnati The Annual Spring Dinner of the Brown Club of Cincinnati was a rousing success, thanks largely to the efforts of Dr. John Rowe Workman, Professor of Classics, who came, saw, and conquered his audi- ence. Dr. Workman's talk, entitled "Action and Reaction," was delivered in his inim- itable, delightful style; it conveyed to the gathering a most meaningful account of all aspects of administrative and student ac- tion on the Hill. Among the 70 guests who attended the affair, held at the Queen City Club on Apr. 27, were a number of secondary school students selected for admission to Brown and Pembroke Classes of 1971. Dr. Workman's talk carried particular significance for these students and their parents. Thomas Spencer Shore, Jr., '61 and Mrs. William Knowles Engeman P'62 served as Co-Chairmen of the affair. Other members of the dinner committee were Club President Joseph B. Donahue '56, Mrs. John D. Rauh P'52, and Schools Chairman John D. Holbrook '62. One of the highlights of the evening was Hol- brook's presentation of a trophy to Ed- mund M. Blanken '53, for outstanding service in recruiting. This year's efforts by the Secondary Schools Committee wiU result in the largest group of Freshmen ever to represent Cincinnati at Brown. From over 50 applicants to Brown and Pembroke, it is expected that 20 wiU be members of the Class of '71. The Club's next social event will be a late-summer Swim Party to be held for current undergraduates at the home of Mrs. John D. Rauh (Liz Gibbons) P'52, the Club's Pembroke Vice-President. Final details will be provided in a mailing. In the meantime, the Club's intensive efforts to secure contributions to support next year's Secondary Schools Committee program will be continued. Present plans call for the establishment of a Board of Directors to facilitate Club management. Chicago's Golfing Date When Ivy League golfers meet on Sept. 14 for their 13 th annual tourney in Chicagoland, the Brown alumni will be defending champions and hosts. The place is the Oak Park Country Club. It was the Brown alumni who in 1955 donated the trophy for the competition, but last year was the first time they gained the title. In another sport, the Brunonians also moved up last season. All eight Ivy col- leges were represented in the third annual 98 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY THE WASHINGTON DINNER. Below — Senator-Trustee Restore. mixed curling bonspiel, held in February at the Exmoor Country Club in Highland Park. Brown was runner-up in the alumni event, losing in the finals to a Cornell rink. In another section Yale lost to Harvard, with Brown third. The Bears included: E. Randolph Harrington '24, skip; Mrs. James MacGregor, vice; Warren J. Smith, Jr., '32, second; and Mrs. F. Abbott Brown, lead. Abbott Brown "26 reports that a feature was an Eastern shore-dinner, with Rhode Island quahogs for the chowder. All will return to Exmoor for next winter's Ivy curling. The enthusiasts keep hoping that curling will be added to the Meehan Auditorium sports on College Hill. Heffner in Washington More than 150 were on hand Apr. 26 when the Brown Club of Washington hon- ored our new President, Dr. Ray L. Heff- ner, at a reception and dinner at the May- flower Hotel. The program was smoothly run by a star-studded committee headed by Charles W. Colson '53, ably assisted by Jay Nolan '65. To Chairman Colson goes much of the credit for assembling the larg- est gathering of Brown notables in the Washington area within memory. Seated at the head table (and called upon to say a few words) were Senator John O. Pastore, of Rhode Island, Representative Wilham Bates '40 of Massachusetts, and Representative William B. Widnall '26 of New Jersey. Other local alumni at the head table were: Judge Norman O. Tietjens '25, Judge Theodore Tannewald '36, Eloise Fanning. President of the Pembroke Club of Washington, and our greatest Club sup- porter, Thomas G. Corcoran '22. After a "Happy Birthday" song for Bill Bates (the exact birthday was not disclosed). Pres- ident Joseph E. Coughlin, Jr., '53 opened the evening's program by introducing Chuck Colson. He, in turn, recognized two distinguished members of the Brown Cor- poration, Harold H. Young '23 and Dr. W. Randolph Burgess '12. Following the dinner (which was accom- panied by delightful music), Dr. Heffner gave an inspiring speech, covering a num- ber of topics concerning all alumni and bringing the gathering up to date on de- velopments on College Hill. The memo- rable evening was brought to a close when Edward R. Place '24 led the assemblage in the singing of the Alma Mater. The Club is looking ahead to another active year, with President Coughhn re- elected to another term. Also re-elected were Vice-President Carlton F. Andrus '60, Secretary Henry T. Donaldson '54, and Treasurer George F. Viault '26. Named as Assistant Treasurer was Jay Nolan. A particular word of thanks must go to Andrew B. Ferrari '46 and Nick Andus for their excellent work in the Secondary Schools Program. They brought a good number of their fellow Club members into the Subfreshman picture this year, with the result that we hope to have the largest group of entering Freshmen from the D. C. area in many years. Nortli Shore Send-Off Aug. 27 Remaining active in two vital areas of interest to the University, the North Shore Brown Club had a particularly good year in the Alumni Schools work and in the Development Fund drive. Ralph Lewis '50 and Allan Rosenberg '46, with help from alumni in key towns, interviewed a large number of applicants to the University during the fall and win- ter. Of 52 who made application for ad- mission from the North Shore, nine re- ceived a favorable decision in April. On Sunday, Aug. 27, the Club will see to it that those who are to enter Brown this fall will be given a proper send-off. A cook- out is planned for the entering Freshmen and their families, along with all members of the North Shore Brown Club and their wives, at the home of Dr. Salvatore Gem- mellaro '43. William Crooks '56 was the leader for the Development Fund drive this last year JULY 1967 99 IN CLEVELAND, among those at April's Brown Club Dinner were: Owen F. Walker '33; Dr. Robert W. Morse, former Brown Dean who is President of Case; Dr. HefTner; and Mrs. Walker. and, with help from many alumni in the North Shore area, a very successful cam- paign was conducted in November and December. Included among the solicitors were Rosenberg. Albert Dow '47, David Goldstein "45. Robert Smith '51, Robert Davis '46, and Dr. Daniel Alexander '35. On Apr. 24. a slate of officers and di- rectors was elected for the 1967-68 sea- son. Elected were: President — Rosenberg; Vice-Presidents — Dr. Genimellaro, William O. Wallburg '35, and Crooks: Secretary- Treasurer — Dow. Directors include Her- ben L. Ablow '55, Bertram Creese '27, J. Clarke Ferguson '31, Peter Gray '59. George H. \V. Hayes, 2nd, "60, Edward A.

Cook, Jr., '48, President of Wabash College; Dr. Wesley N, Haines '36. President of Franklin College, and Mayor John J. Barton. Club President Wal- ter J. Matthews '33 presided. South County Celebrates When rr's springtime in Rhode Island, it's the occasion for the annual celebration of the South County Brown Club. This year, something new was added on May 5, with golf and tennis at Point Judith Golf Club preceding the annual dinner at Sweet Meadows Inn. Arthur E. Miller '22 handled the arrangements for tennis, with Alex DiMartino 79 in charge of the duf- fers. There was a pre-prandial compota- tion at the DiMartino summer home in Narragansett before all hands journeyed to the roast beef dinner. Football Coach Len Jardine was the fea- tured speaker and gave a frank appraisal of the football picture at Brown, both for next year and beyond. The point that he made is that it will take at least two, and possibly three, years to develop the manpower he feels necessary to make a substantial climb in the Ivy League standings. Genial Paul F. Mackesey '32, our Alumni Secretary, was also on hand for the afternoon and evening of fun and food. Herbert M. "Tony" Hoiford '23 was re- elected President of the Club for 1967-68.

Members will receive further details on this get-together in the fall. Some Honors in Hartford Five distinguished graduates were honored by the Hartford Brown Club at its annual meeting at the Wampanoag Country Club in May. Another highlight of the meeting was the appearance of Coach Len Jardine, who took the Club by storm with his youth and enthusiasm and his high hopes for the future of football at Brown. Daniel Howard '93, oldest living alum- nus at 102 and retired Superintendent of Schools of Windsor, was one of the five alumni honored. It was to be the last honor we were able to pay our old friend, who died a month later. Also honored that eve- ning were Cyrus G. Flanders '18, Chairman of the Governor's Committee on Rehabili- tation of the Handicapped, and three out- standing businessmen, community leaders, and government advisors, all from the Class of '22: C. Manton Eddy of Con- necticut General Life Insurance Co., Wil- son Jainsen, Hartford Insurance Group, NEW OFFICERS in New York: President Wallace W. Elton '29 is flanked by Jay H. Rossbach, Jr., '43 and John L. Danforth '52; John F. Wilson '44 and Joel Davis '56 are standing. GOVERNORS elected by the Brown Club in New York; Benjamin V. Lambert '60 and John E. O'Sulli- van '42 ore seated; others, also left to right, William F. O'Brien '45, Lewis C. Cody '59, Peter J. HoUitscher '57, and Vincent M. Love '54. Richard B. Salomon '32 was not in the photo. and Milton H. Glover, Vice-Chairman of the Hartford National Bank and Trust Co. Each was awarded a certificate of member- ship in "A Succession of Men" for uniquely following the precepts of Brown's charter, "Discharging the Offices of Life with Usefulness and Reputation." In his talk, Jardine said that he felt Brown had the makings of a good football team. "From what I've seen on film and from what I've learned from talking to people, last season Brown lost the one thing it needed — confidence," he said. "They went into games wondering, 'When will it happen? When will we win?' Instead they should have entered the games as be- lievers, knowing they could win. That's how the boys will go into games this year." Gordon Smith of the Hartford Coiirant wrote a full column on Jardine 's visit. He expressed his respect for Brown's new coach, saying that in his selection Brown made what may prove to be the "best move in its gridiron history." Fall River Welcomes Jardine The largest crowd in many years, more than 50 alumni, turned out on May 16 as the Fall River Brown Club officially laid out the welcome mat for the new football coach, Len Jardine. The affair, held at White's Restaurant, also featured Alumni Secretary Paul Mackesey and Nor- man Zalkind '35, with the latter speaking briefly on the University Fund. Club Pres- ident Wilfred C. Driscoll '49 presided and welcomed several alumni from the New Bedford area. Coach Jardine gave an en- thusiastic talk and was most adept at an- swering questions from the audience. JULY 1967 101 i3RgW^ THE TALK was of ootboll when Connecticut alumni met in May. Backfield Coach Jack George and Freshman Coach Bill Gourley were flanked above by Wallace H. Henshow, Jr., '49, President of the Fairfield County Brown Club, left, and Williom P. Simon '54, President of the New Haven Bn before the buffet. (Photo courtesy of "The New Haven Register.") Brown Club, Whetting Philadelphia Interest The Second.\ry Schools Committee of the Philadelphia Brown Club held a meeting for interested high school Juniors and their parents in the auditorium of Radnor High School on May 26. The up- dated version of the film. "Invitation to Brown." was shown, following which Charles Doebler. Director of Admissions, gave a brief talk and then led a question- and-answer session. Club President Eugene C. Swift '42 and Secondary Schools Chair- man Gray Andrews "51 assisted during the program, which was attended by 33 Jun- iors. The ne.xt function of the Club will be a Subfreshman Send-Off Luncheon for the Class of 71 in late August or early Sep- tember. The initial welcome to President Heff- ner was extended by the Brown Club of Philadelphia for a dinner-meeting on Apr. 27. The group of approximately 75 attend- ing the affair included many Pembroke alumnae, as well as out-of-town guests Paul F. Mackesey '32, Alumni Secretary, and Joel Davis '56, Chairman of the Brown University Fund. The month of April also witnessed a visit to the Philadelphia area by the com- bined Glee Clubs of Brown and Pembroke. The Saturday concert took place on Apr. 1. thanks largely to the efforts of Eugene C. Swift '42, President of the Club. The final spring activity of the Philadelphia group was an "Introduction to Brown" for the benefit of high school Juniors, an affair that was run on May 26 as part of the Secondary Schools Program in the area. Westchester's Orientation Selected Sopho.mores and Juniors, along with their parents and teachers, were guests of the Brown Club and Pembroke College Club of Westchester on May 13 in the Bronxville High School auditorium. The orientation and question-and-answer session was conducted by David Zucconi '55, Admission Officer, and Miss Caroline Cole, Pembroke admission staff member. Eighteen boys and 15 girls were in at- tendance. The affair was held under the direction of Gerald Markowitz '53, John Moyle '60, and Roy Fidler '50, Chairman of the Secondary Schools Committee. 102 South Shore Hears Gourley Freshman Coach Bill Gourley was the featured speaker when the South Shore Brown Club held its annual meeting and election of officers at the Alamo Restau- rant in Abington. Mass., on May 17. One of the "young breed" on Coach Len Jar- dine's staff, Gourley was an instant hit with his audience. Officers for the coming year will include President Howard D. Williams '17, Vice-President Robert O'Day, Secretary Charles H. Beckford '60, and Treasurer Ernest Perrault '50. President Williams will serve as Chairman of the Secondary Schools Committee. Minnesota's Luncheon The June meeting of the Minnesota Brown Club provided a fitting climax to a successful year, with most of the accepted Freshmen from the Class of '71 on hand to receive the congratulations of the old INTRODUCTION in Detroit: W. Merritt Jones, Jr., '53, President of the Michigan Brown Club, who was presenting Dr. Heffner at dinner. grads in the Club. This has been a good year in the Subfreshman field, with Chair- man Steve Krongess '53 looking for even better results in 1967-68. As for the coming academic year, plans are already under way to bring a "name" speaker from the University to our Club. President Henry Johnsen "45 is handling the arrangements. A last quick look at the year behind us indicates that one of the most pleasant gatherings was the Apr. 19 affair at Chariie's Cafe Exceptionale, the wine-tasting party. Chairman Sumner Young '54 has been besieged with requests for an encore early in the fall. Bray in Northeastern N. Y. A dozen PREDICTIONS about what the worid will be like in 2042 were given by Dr. Philip J. Bray '48, Chairman of the Physics Department, when he spoke at the Annual Dinner of the Brown Club of Northeastern New York on May 17. Also present at the Holiday Inn, Colonie, N. Y., for the gala annual party were Mrs. Bray and Alumni Secretary Paul F. Mackesey '32 and his wife, Sally. Lucian Drury '36, Chairman of the Alumni Secondary Schools Program, re- ported on the area applicants who have been admitted to the Class of '71 on the Hill. He expressed pleasure at the results of this year's work, thanked his fellow workers, and pledged an even greater ef- fort for 1967-68. Three members of the Berkshire County Brown Club were in attendance: President Willis B. Buck '41, Theodore Giddings '29, Director-at-Large of the Associated Alumni,' and Paul A. Tamburello '34, President of the Massachusetts Bar Association. New Look in Lackawanna A VARIED SCHEDULE of activities designed to attract a broad spectrum of New Jer- sey Brunonians is being planned for the Lackawanna Brown Club's 1967-68 season. A new group of officers has already been sworn in and is already making plans for an interesting year. The new slate has Gordon E. Allen '50 as President and in- cludes: Secretary — John B. Lawrence, Jr., '48; Treasurer — James Noonan '48: Pro- gram Committee — Ronald S. Wills '54, Chairman, William Hayes '59, W. Edmund Williams, Jr.; Secondary Schools Commit- tee — Donald M. Van Heest '49, Chairman, John Dorer '55, and Norman Wright '49. Tentatively, next season's activities will include a cocktail party in the fall, an affair on the week end of the Brown- Princeton game, something to relieve the mid-winter doldrums, a continuing Second- ary Schools Program, and a Subfreshman get-together in the spring of 1968. One of the annual highlights, the picnic for members and their families, was held again this June. Down East Meeting Off When Louis A. R. Pieri '20 died last month, the officers of the Down East Brown Club cancelled its summer meeting. He had hoped to be host once again for their unique holiday outing.

JULY 1967 103 Brunonians Far and Near EDITED BY JAY BARRY '50 1884 VASSAR College has published a revised version of its "Alma Mater," for which the late Prof. George Coleman Gow wrote the music. He was Professor of Music there from 1S95 to 1932. having previously taught at Smith for six years. Dr. Gow. to whom Brown presented an honorar>- doctorate in Music in 1903. be- gan composition as an undergraduate, and his Group of Songs was published in the vear of his graduation. He wrote Five Songs (1889)'and .-1 Rose Cycle (1890); he was also the author of Structure of Music (1894). "The Vassar Alma Mater" was the sub- ject of "heated discussion" at a meeting of Class Representatives last year, the Vassar Alumnae reports. "Many of the members were disturbed by the fact that it is seldom sung and hardly known." The printing, in its revised form, was "by popular request in the hope that familiarity and skill in rendering it can somehow be either ac- quired or re-acquired, and the song rein- stated." 1902 The late Prof. Joseph W. Ince headed the Chemistry Department and taupht at Rhode Island State College from 1919 to 1950. His picture appeared in a recent is- sue of the Rhode Island Alumni Bulletin on the occasion of the 75th anniversary at URI. Another tribute was one to John Barlow. A.M. '96, who served at Kingston in the first four decades of this century. part of that time as Vice-President and Dean of Science and Business. 1906 The Fourth District Bar Association of Massachusetts presented a citation to Judge Walter A. Briggs, the retired Special Jus- tice of the Court, on May 1. It read, in part: "His service on the bench was always marked by a sympathy for the frailties of human nature, but always in such a way as to be consistent with the public interest and with his sworn duty to dispense justice impartially. A characteristic that always appealed was his kindness and considera- tion to the attorneys who appeared before him, and especially notable was the cour- tesy exhibited to the newer members of the Bar and to other attorneys who might be strangers to his Court. It is fitting that this citation be presented on Law Day, which helps to remind us of the dignity of the law and the dignity of the legal pro- fession which this judge exemplifies." In a recent issue of this magazine, we said that our classmate. Dr. George Cor- coran, had two grandchildren. His fellow physician. Dr. Alex M. Burgess, sets the record straight by pointing out that George actually has 23 grandchildren. "I think a fellow should have full credit for his achievements," says Alex. Dr. Burgess and his son. Dr. Samuel B. Burgess '38. a pathologist at Glover Hos- pital. Needham, Mass., have completed a study showing that heavy smoking is a major cause of emphysema, a lung disease which is becoming increasingly prevalent and is often fatal. Their report on the sub- ject appeared in a recent issue of the Rhode Island Medical Journal. 1907 At reunion time, Charles R. Stark, Jr.. was heading from Sacramento to Spokane to complete the sale of his house in that city where, until removal last fall into California, he had been active as news- paperman, free-lance writer, and civic worker since the mid-30's. Address: 5981 Lake Crest Way, Sacramento, Calif. 95822. Ralph W. McPhee has the sympathy of the Class on the loss of his son, Ralph, Jr., who died suddenly in San Francisco on Mar. 13, the day after his 49th birthday. The young man had been with American Airlines for 30 years and, at his death, was Chief Pilot at San Francisco. Sixty pilots in uniform, as well as many others, at- tended the funeral services. To answer a classmate's query: The name of Norman F. MacGregor did not appear on the updated Class list because no word of him has been received since Christmas, 1963, when a card came from a Mexican town where he was visiting his son. Attempts to reach him there and in St. Andrews, Quebec, his home for many years, have been unsuccessful. Arthur J. Seabury. sending regards to all at reunion time, and, in particular, to Dr. Herbert E. Harris, said that he was able to go riding for "about a half-hour or so" a day, thus putting College Hill out of bounds. His address continues to be New Bedford Rd., Rochester, Mass. Your Secretary was re-elected Vice- Chairman of the Friends of the Library of Brown University at the annual meeting. May 8. The duties are minimal. 1909 Irvin Jacobs informs us that, as of May 1, his new address was 1075 Hillcrest Rd., Glencoe, III. 60022. 1910 Roy Tasco Davis reports that he is in good health and hopes to attend the 60th. "Our son, Roy, is Consul General of the Amazon Souvenirs THE JACAREi in the accompanying photo- graph was only 13 or 14 feet long, "large but not remarkable." explains Cecil M. P. Cross '15, retired Foreign Service Officer who lives in Sao Paulo, Brazil. "What was remarkable was that it was caught on a hook and hne. It had to be given a coup de grace with a 12-gauge shotgun, however." The jacarei is a cousin of the alligator, and our interest was attracted when Cross sent a snapshot to his Class Secretary, George F. Bliven. The details had to await Cross' return from a trip up the Amazon from Belem, Brazil, to the head of naviga- tion at Iquitos, Peru. One jungle camp was located on the edge of a Yagua Indian set- tlement, where they slept in a cocamera, like the traditional communal house of the Yaguas. "At the end of the world," was one description of the locale. Periodically. Cross mailed us specimens of the insects and butterflies, "visitors that came on board to see me." "Could you find a place for them in some Brown col- lection?" Cross asked. (After the first few envelopes, our girls in Alumni House de- clined to open any more.) But, since Cross told his guides that the specimens were be- ing picked up for the Brown Entomologi- cal Museum, we've passed them along. Cross, as he manages to do so often, re- turned to College Hill for Commencement this year. At the President's Reception, we introduced him to Prof. Arthur B. Cleaves '27, who had just returned from working as a geologist in the Andes. After they had swapped geography and experiences, it de- veloped that one of them had been in the next town to the other. "How near was that?" we asked. "Seven hundred miles," was the answer. 104 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY United States in Rio de Janeiro, a member of the Diplomatic Service." he says. "Our daughter and her family live near us. Our children are a constant source of pride and satisfaction." Roy indicates that he plans to visit Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico. Guatemala, and Honduras, where he held diplomatic posts during his period of serv- ice for the State Department. President and Peggy Horton returned in late March from their annual Florida ex- cursion. Passing through Trenton on the way home, they had breakfast with Alex and Edith Muir. When the Narragansett Council, Boy Scouts of America, held its annual meeting in May. Elmer Horton had the pleasure of reading the citation of his son, John, for the Silver Beaver, which Elmer had won some years previously. It was the first presentation in the Council to a second generation Beaver. Elmer also preceded his son as Council President. Eddy W. Tandy has a good suggestion for many of us. "TV, solitaire, reading, caring for my room, and some dish-wash- ing keep me occupied," he says. "No time hangs heavy on my hands." He still bowls (candlepin) with the Retired Men's Club of Fitchburg, Mass. Dr. Edward H. Mason reports in every once in a while. We understand that he is still in active medical practice in Montreal. Dr. A. Leo Brett sends greetings to the Class from Boston, where he's still busy in orthopedic surgery. Morris F. Conant wrote a short time back, saying that he had been in touch with Ed Shaeffer, Joe Bliss, Malcolm Field, Ralph Farnum, and Bill Oakes. 1911 Of Robert Cushman Murphy, Lamont Curator Emeritus of Birds, the Grapevine of the American Museum of Natural His- tory said in April: "One of the most youth- ful members of the Museum staff will celebrate a special birthday this month. When we consider his vigor, his enthusi- asm, and his continuing zeal for the many worthwhile causes he has espoused, we find it hard to beheve that this young man will mark his 80th birthday. It is only when we review the extraordinary record of his adventures and achievements that we can accept the fact of his chronologi- cal age." Talking of Dr. Murphy's writings and 11 expeditions, the profile also said: "He was instrumental in the development of the Whitney Memorial Hall of South Pacific Birds, and many other exhibition projects of the Department of Ornithology were started during his chairmanship." 1912 Prof. Arthur Newell made a spring trip to the United States on behalf of British- American Associates, London, where he is Senior Lecturer — a non-speaking trip this time.

It referred humorously to his professional career and more famous cases. A few lines were: "He's always so careful with correct Latin tenses/A habit he learned from Mother Brunensis. . . . If the name of Judge Perkins appears on a paper/ Regardless of whether it deals with a raper/Or merely a question of com- mon law pleading/His colleagues all know that it's damn well worth reading."

Letters of congratulation for years in the public service came pouring in, including one from Governor Volpe. The Cape Cod Standard Times, in an editorial, had this to say: "An era is coming to a close in Cape Cod politics — or rather in lack of politics. Basically. Victor F. Adams was a success- ful man in the field of politics, and yet he was not a politician as one is generally known. He has let his actions do the talk- ing for him. The fact that, in 1 1 tries for the Selectman's office, he was opposed only once is a clear indication of his stature in his community and his popularity with the voting public."

"Walter Lister would have been the first to scoff at the notion of an ideal managing editor," said a Philadelphia Bulletin edi- torial at the time of his death in May. "But many an experienced newsman would count up the pros and cons of an ideal and come up with an image looking re- markably like The Bulletin's retired Ex- ecutive Editor. . . . Walter Lister had the ideal mixture, plus a few other rare and essential ingredients — a completely-con- trolled temper, a willingness to delegate authority, and a bedrock belief that the reporter, rather than the prima donna writer, is what journalism is all about. It's still sad to lose him at an age when he ought to be out three-putting Merion East." Dutee J. Hall is Director of Member Relations with the Tax Foundation in New York City.

From Alumni Art Collections The brown art department is plan- ning to open the new Art Building, when it is completed, with a series of exhibitions of highest quahty. The Department is seeking the loan of art from collections of alumni, alumnae and friends of the University. These works from all periods and all parts of the world, whether prints, draw- ings, sculpture or paintings, will have the unifying ingredient of outstanding quality. Exhibitions of original works of art will be of great value as part of the important teaching programs for undergraduate and graduate students in studio and art histor>'. Further, these exhibitions should bring together all relevant scholarly departments in the University, where artist and scientist can meet. BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY For a Brown Man's Bookshelf EDITED BY ELMER M. BLISTEIN '42 PEMBROKE COLLEGE IN BROWN UNIVERSITY: The First 75 Years. 1891-1966. By Grace E. Hawk P'17. Brown University Press. $10. Miss Hawk's history of Pembroke Col- lege is an honor to Brown University, to Pembroke College, and notably to herself. It moves through its six sections — a chron- ological division — and their wealth of ma- terial with an easy clarity and objectivity. It should be required reading for all who have an interest in the University and in the education of women. Most absorbing, of course, are the ear- lier sections, dealing with the growth of local interest in women's education, under the special sponsorship of President E. Benjamin Andrews and the Rhode Island Society for the Collegiate Education of Women, headed by Miss Sarah E. Doyle. Then there were the earliest classes, taught without formal compensation by volunteers from the Brown Faculty; then the gradual struggle upward till "Pembroke Hall in Brown University" was erected in 1897 and the college had an academic home. There were the gradually decreasing doubts in the Corporation. There were the ex- changes of student opinion in the pub- lications at Brown and Pembroke. And so one might go on, hut. in spite of these trivial details, read the book. One would think that Miss Hawk had talked with everyone and had read every- thing of possible interest, from the Cor- poration records down. I had one item up my sleeve which I thought perhaps she would have missed — the name of the early dormitory at the corner of Waterman and Gano Streets. But she had it on page 42, "Paradise." She does not, and perhaps she needed not, point out that this was a comic name given derisively to it by the students living there. Will she pardon me if I add one personal detail which underscores the difference be- tween those early days and today? Like a good boy, I attended the opening Chapel service of my Freshman year. There were as yet no assigned seats for men, but I saw at once that a section on the south aisle was in reserve. And then in came Pembroke College, every girl wearing a hat and a jacket and a pair of gloves, escorted by Dean Snow in most formal dress, including (in his hand) a tall hat. A little later I was told that when a few Brown classes were opened to women, the girls were instructed always to wear hats and gloves. It was, of course, a source of satisfac- tion to the Alumnae that the diplomas were headed "Brown University." It is a current source of satisfaction that the tech- nique of election of Alumni to membership in the Corporation has been broadened to provide for election of Alumnae. It would also be a gratification to them if they knew that for some years one of the two Com- mencement speakers in the old Meeting House has been a member of the Pem- broke graduating Class. One last word: I recall hearing the older Alumnae worrying about the official title of the college and wanting "Brown" to be a part of it. To them Miss Hawk's last sentence will be gratifying. William T. Hastings, '03 His wife was a Pembroker (the late Hester Mercer Hastings P'03). He is the father of two Pembrokers (Prof. Hester Hastings P'31 and Dean Elizabeth T. Hastings P'34. He taught Pembrokers for about 45 years. Thus, Professor Hastings of Brown's Eng- lish Department seemed admirably suited to review this history of Pembroke. Grace E. Hawk was Katherine Lee Bates Profes- sor at Wellesley. STYLE AND TEMPER: Studies in French Fiction. 1925-1960. By Wilbur M. Fro- hock '30. Harvard University Press. 153 pages. The seven essays in W. M. Frohock's Style and Temper were originally con- ceived as individual studies, not as chapters of a future book. Since they deal with a diversified group of authors: Malraux, Sartre, Camus, Montherlant, Saint-Exu- pery, Bernanos, Celine, Giono, Claude Simon, and Michel Butor, only a unifying method could give logical coherence to this series of essays. W. M. Frohock achieves this result by employing a method closely related to the late Leo Spitzer's theory, which presupposes a constant relationship between the verbal expression of a given writer and the totality of his works. In the chapter entitled "Montherlant's Interventions," textual analysis of tonal contrasts in Les Celibataires and Les Bestiaires shows how the noveUst gives vent to savage irony when he feels hos- tility or contempt toward one of his creatures. Conversely, his sympathies ap- pear in the form of a higher level of his style as, for instance, in the poetic de- scription of migrating birds which precedes the terse evocation of Leon de Coantre's lonely death. A more subtle mechanism enters into play when Montherlant is portraying a character with whom he is fundamentally in accord, but who is exposed to an alienat- ing segment of the outside world. The novelist then runs the gamut from an elevated to popular style, according to the degree of affinity Montherlant wishes to indicate between the character in question and the people whose manner of thinking is forced upon him. The chapter "Malraux and the Poem of the Walnuts" shows W. M. Frohock's con- cern with both philosophic meaning and poetic values. Faced with Malraux's el- liptical style and a reasoning which often skips intermediate stages, he succeeds nevertheless in estabhshing the coherence and completeness of the novel Les Noyers de I'Altenhurg. It is a well-known fact that this was a part of a greater work. La Lutte avec I'Ange which, during World War II, fell into enemy hands and was destroyed. To the question "whether there exists a datum on which the notion of Man can be based" (p. 64), the Spenglerian conclusions of the ethnologist Mollberg give a negative an- swer, and imperil the whole structure of Malraux's thought. Vincent Berger's refutation brings into play the trees in the priory where the colloquium is being held. Now in the shape of sculptures from past eras, carved in walnut wood, now in the form of logs of the same wood, piled up for fuel, there seems to be "no fundamental walnut — these are only chunks of wood" (p. 65). the recollection of six moments of deep per- ception — epiphanies — are mobilized and in- tuitively lead Vincent Berger into seeing in the walnut trees the very symbols of the continuity of Man. The novel, as it stands, is shown to be entirely sufficient to bridge the gap between Malraux fiction and his meditations on art. Of the many discoveries which W. M. Frohock's method has made possible, two at least must be mentioned. In his study of Bernanos, he has found that, while there may be some incoherence in Mon- sieur Ouine, a real coherence in the au- thor's imagery gives remarkable unity to his works as a whole. It is therefore only from a careful consideration given to a novel- ist's total production that his attitude and feeling toward life can be defined. Equally provocative is the notion that while the writers of the thirties and forties expressed a vision which was characterized by discontinuity, the works by Claude Simon and Michel Butor indicate that "continuity has recently displaced discon- tinuity in the French fiction" (p. 137). Students of French contemporary htera- ture are indebted to W. M. Frohock for his perceptive, enidite and eminently sound book. ALBERT J. SALVAN Dr. Frohock, Professor of French at Har- vard holds three Brown degrees: A.B. '30, A.M. '31, and Ph.D. '35. Professor Salvan is in Brown's French Department, with a primary interest in the contemporary French novel. THE HAPPY MARRIAGE and Other Stories. By R. V. Cassill. Purdue Uni- versity Press. What informs these seven stories is the idea of the quiet but usually devastating blunder, from the momentary terror of cowardice in "The First Day of School," the chain of miscalculations and pathetic stupidities of the heroine in "The Crime of Mar>' Lynn Yager" (the longest and least JULY 1967 129 successful of the stories), the stain of humiliation in "The Swimmers at Palli- kula." the fornicating and cruelly self- seeking parents in "The War in the Air," the onanistic daubings of "The Sunday Painter," and the stubborn denials of the mother in "The Covenant," to the fears and hate of "The Happy Marriage." Often but not always, the blundering is by a child or a childlike person or settles on and includes in its net a child. The blunder is a kind of epiphany in reverse. From this moment, things go wrong. Lives are enmeshed by underlying terror; every triumph seems to cost too much or to reveal too much. Experience often shows nothing to those trapped in it. Sometimes, when it does reveal something, the sprung trap is inescapable. The seven stories are sad and devastating in their own little ways. And, for the most part, their ways are little — no bang, no bash, no boom, only the attrition of the presence of another person, even when the other person is one's quivering self. Mr. Cassill seems to be saying that life is like this: most of our bangs take the form of whimpers, but whimpers that irrevocably form and de- form, even sometimes kill. Their quiet atmosphere, their insights, their artistry, and for the most part their successful con- trol of tone and atmosphere account for the calculated chill that one feels when he reaches the end of this book. Where the stories are unsuccessful, they are so because too consciously poetic, in the sense of self-conscious awareness of calculated effects, as in "The Happy Mar- riage." When they are good, they are gently overwhelming. LOUIS H. LEITER, Ph.D. '61 THE LATE J. Louis Giddings^ "one of America's most eminent." R. V.

Glengary Press, 1040 West Fort, Detroit 48226. A "working paper," this was published for the Caribbean Research Institute, Col- lege of the Virgin Islands, St. Thomas, in cooperation with the Vocational Re- habilitation Administration, U.S. Depart- ment of Health, Education, and Welfare; it was prepared originally for use at the 1967 International Symposium which had a title similar to that of the book. Dr. Field, Senior Research Associate with the CRI and Assistant Professor of Sociology at Wayne State University, was coordi- nator, editor, and chairman of the Plan- ning Symposium, here reported often ver- batim, though skillfully organized and condensed. One of the contributors to the Field re- port, Howard R. Stanton, said: "In the same way that we often see 'No Smoking' signs on the walls and ash trays on the table, rehabilitation isn't always what it seems to be; society gives mixed signals and doesn't always give the same signals to everyone." Dr. Stanton also summarized the three parts of the discussion: Work Values, Work Disability, and Work Op- portunities. "It is the kind of document," says Dr. Field, "which scholars rarely, and stu- dents never, see, and it is especially valu- able because one can follow the parry- and-thnist of different lines of reasoning about the same question presented imder the pressure of debate among peers. Giddings of the Arctic ANCIENT Men of the Arctic, by the late .. Prof. J. Louis Giddings of Brown re- ceived widespread advance praise from his colleagues in archaeology and anthropology before its June 12 publication by Knopf. Loren Eiseley of the University of Penn- sylvania said after reading it: "The late Louis Giddings was one of America's most eminent scholars in a difficult and exciting field — arctic archaeology. Ancient Men of the Arctic contains the distilled essence of many years of probing into the hidden secrets of one of the world's last great wastelands — a region that hides the story of man's first penetration into the New World." C. W. Ceram, author of Gods, Graves, and Scholars, called the book a fascinating one by "a great explorer-scholar." Robert F. Heizer of the University of California at Berkeley said it reflected real literary quality besides being "a solid anthropologi- cal work on human prehistory." Dr. Giddings came to Brown in 1956 to set up its first Department of Anthro- pology and to be Director of the Haf- fenreffer Museum of the American Indian at Mount Hope. His Alaskan excavations uncovered previously unknown cultures thousands of years old in the Bering Strait area. He died of injuries suffered in an automobile accident in 1964. His widow has since been carrying on the work sum- mers in the Arctic. — Providence Sunday Journal Browns Nominations FOR A SURVEY of the past 25 years of publishing, the Saturday Review asked the University Presses of America to nom- inate titles whose imprints are regarded as "among those with their imprint that they believe have made the strongest impact on contemporary society or most enriched its culture." The Brown University Press nominations were listed (on June 10) as the following: A Blake Dictionary: The Ideas and Sym- bols of William Blake, by S. Foster Damon (1965). "The father of modem Blake studies assembles, synthesizes, and inter- prets the clues to Blake's meaning that are scattered throughout the body of his work, literary and graphic." The Archeology of Cape Denbigh, by J. L. Giddings (1964). "Defining the first three major cultural phases of the Western Arctic, the author evolves the idea of continuity in cultures of the Bering Strait region." The Legend of the Wandering Jew, by George K. Anderson (1965). "The history of one of the most pervasive and enduring legends of Western society is traced from its genesis (in the origins of Christianity itself) through its complex evolution down through the ages." 130 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 'The Envy of Kings' I AM RICH PoTosi, the treasure of the world, the king of the mountains, and the envy of kings." So translates the motto on the coat of arms bestowed by the Em- peror Charles V on the fabulous mining center of colonial Peni, for 100 years certainly the richest city in the New World and also one of the most inaccessible. It became a synoym for wealth beyond the dreams of avarice and a powerful magnet for the adventurous and the ambitious in the golden century of Spain. Potosi's history, covering the period from 1545 to 1736. was the work of Barto- lome Arzans de Orsua y Vela, who died in the latter year. But it was published in its entirety only in the recent Brown Univer- sity Bicentennial period, a major effort by the Brown University Press, edited by Lewis Hanke and Gunnar Mendoza (three volumes, $45). "A remarkable work it is, like the great silver mountain of Potosi itself," a reviewer said recently in The Times Literary Supplement of London, "but full of riches of quite a different kind." The three-column review was high in its praise of the undertaking and the "highest standard of scholarship" ("splen- didly printed and bound," it added). The American Historical Review in April also spoke of the "handsome quarto volumes" and of the "insights afforded." Epics, Photoduplicated A GROUP of seven minor epics of the English Renaissance was collected by Dr. Paul W. Miller, A.M. '48, Associate Professor of English at Wittenberg Uni- versity. The volume has been published by Scholars Facsimiles and Reprints of Gainesville, Fla., using a photoduplication process. In his introduction. Dr. Miller points out that the purpose of the book is to complement and supplement the volume, Elizabethan Minor Epics, by Elizabeth Story Donno ( 1963). "With the publication of the seven DR. PAUL MILLER, A.M. '48. His book will aid scholars of the English Renaissance age. poems, all the known, surviving minor epics of the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods are for the first time available for study in faithful reproductions of the earlier extant editions," Dr. Miller says. He regards as the most interesting poem in his collection as an anonymous work, "Philos and Licia," which he discovered in Oxford's Bodleian while doing research there in 1964. The only extant copy of the poem, it has never been reprinted or criti- cally examined, "though it is competently developed and skillfully versified." Two other poems have not been reprinted in modern times: "Pyramus and Thisbe" by Dunstan Gale and "The Love of Amos and Laura" by Samuel Page. Briefer Mention RICHARD J. Walton '51 has been com- . missioned by Coward, McCann to write a book on Adlai Stevenson at the United Nations. Since Walton was the Voice of America's principal correspond- ent at the UN for five years, he was there during most of Ambassador Stevenson's term. Walton is working on the book at his home in West Redding, Conn., with fre- quent trips to Washington and the UN for research. He has left the VOA after eight years on its staff. Walton is also devoting time to free- lance journalism. In recent years he has written for the New York Times and the Village Voice of Greenwich Village, con- tributing to the former an article on Rhode Island's Galilee and Jerusalem in last year's travel section. Prof. William T. Hastings '03 is the author of Phi Beta Kappa as a Secret Society with Its Relations to Freemasonry and Antimasonry, published by the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa (50 cents). The Rhode Island Alpha, at Brown Uni- versity, will act as the agent for any purchaser.

Place, as President, also presented her among 32 Phi Betes he had on a recent Washington TV show. NORMAN P. ROSS '42 is directing the study that may determine whether Time Inc. will go into the field of encyclopedia-publishing. Norman P. Ross '42, former Editor of Time-Life Books, has been appointed by Time Inc. to direct a management study of encyclopedia publishing. It will explore the opportunities to create and market general-purpose or specialized encyclope- dias and related reference services. Ross, for this project, joined the Corporate De- velopment Department of Time Inc. on June 1. For the previous year, he had been Vice-President and Director of Educa- tional Research and Development for Gen- eral Learning Corporation, the educational affiliate of Time Inc. and General Electric Company. The April issue of Res Piiblica. the third of the year, includes a re-examination of foreign aid. by Senator George McGovern; an article by Prof. Donald Kimmel ("De- lusions of Original Goodness"); and sev- eral undergraduate contributions, notably those on Africa.

Clark graduated from Brown (1904), there arrived at Madison the man who was to initiate the medical program at the University of Wisconsin.

Tougaloo and Brown Sir: A recent rereading of President George Owens' article in the March Alumni Monthly brought to mind my de- lightful visit in the home of President and Mrs. Owens. As an alumnus of Brown and as a Southerner I have been following the relationship with deep interest. I was trav- eling throughout the country from Hono- lulu to Providence with my high school grandson. When President Owens heard that we were interested in visiting Touga- loo, he invited us to be their house guests. It was a delightful experience, especially for John, who was about the age of their son and daughter. He gave them prelim- inary lessons on the ukulele and taught them some of our popular Hawaiian songs. We hope that the Aloha Spirit may lead one of them to come to Hawaii for grad- uate work at the East-West Center at the University of Hawaii. I see great possibilities in the exchange partnership and agree with President Ow- ens that "the relationship between Brown and Tougaloo provides a foundation and an opportunity to open our eyes to what has been done to us over the years and what remains to be done in amends."

Life with Uncle Sam Sir: Back in 1930, when I assisted Al Gurney in disseminating some public- ity about a Brown University Survey, there was no reference to kinship with Uncle. But. since I subscribe to Shaw's observa- tion that "not the least of its virtues is that money destroys base people as certainly as it fortifies and dignifies noble people." I am all in favor of life with Uncle Sam. The annual survey of Editorial Projects for Education, Inc.. therefore, found great favor with this out-of-touch reader about campus finances. The fluid style and um- brella treatment in the April issue pro- vided an insight which is invaluable for alumni understanding of prevailing condi- tions. If 1800 of 2200 institutions are aided by the Federal Government, it's certainly a way of life. One of the weaknesses of the exposition is the paucity of statements by recognized educators. Specifics, too, would be prefer- able to bland statements that stud the ex- position if "the partnership indeed exists" and it is "one of the most profound and significant developments of our time." More clarification is needed for such state- ments as "problems already have arisen from the dynamic and complex relation- ship." The opinions of recognized authori- ties should have been used to answer the question, "Is higher education losing con- trol of its destiny?" In making the sugges- tion that "colleges and universities may have to become more deeply involved in politics," the somewhat apologetic approach seems at variance with the statement that "there is no other way of getting the job done" other than the dual arrangement. The preamble is not only right in defin- ing the article as "both informative and lively," but in noting that the theme de- mands explanatory counterpart material. The local articles would have made a stronger impression had they followed the feature. The summary report by Malcolm S. Stevens could have been somewhat more integrated with the main article. But. all in all, it is captial coverage of a vital mat- ter. ROBERT V. CRONAN '31 New York City (Few alumni are less "out of touch" than this reader. The insert, however, had to be bound into the center of the issue since they had been separately produced. We did suggest that the national survey be 132 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY rc;id before one tuekled the accompanying material which was specifically about Brown. Still, tastes vary on the sequence of what one looks at in our magazine. Why, we have known some people who look at Class Notes first, and see where those are located. — Ed.) The Humanities' Siiaring Sir: I read with interest and consider- able dismay your article in the April issue entitled "A Sliver of Pie for the Hu- manities." It seems that Brown intends to become a University stressing Sciences to what I feel must inevitably be the detri- ment of the Humanities curriculum. Having graduated from Brown in 1963 with a major in French, I believe I wit- nessed the beginnings of this trend toward a science-oriented University during my four years in Providence. Comparing the facilities completed in the past few years (e.g., Barus and Holley, Wilson Life Sci- ences Building, etc.) with those present fa- cilities available for Languages, Literature, Economics, Religious Studies, Philosophy, and the Arts, I feel my thinking is some- what confirmed. If Brown is to be the recipient of mas- sive Federal aid directed (understandably) toward the Sciences, I feel that money from sources such as endowments or other non- specified gifts should then be earmarked to improve facilities and research oppor- tunities in the Humanities, so that the best possible Faculty can be attracted to and kept in Providence. If the Humanities are not to be treated on an equal basis with the Sciences, then I feel Brown will be neglecting a portion of its responsibility. Even if the outside world lacks appreciation and knowledge of its writers, thinkers, economists, historians, and other humanists, the University has a responsibility to develop such graduates. JOHN H. BARRY "63 New York City (Brown's tradition safeguards it against neglect of the Humanities, and a Humani- ties Building has a high priority in the program of its development. Our April stories were on Federal support of higher education, and the fact is that such sup- port has been heavily centered in the Sci- ences. — Ed.) Add the "University" Sir: I wish we could go back to speak- ing of the "Brown University Alumni Monthly." I think that out in the great un- known, this would have much better im- pact than just speaking of "Brown" by itself, since it is a very common name, unlike that of Harvard or Slippery Rock. One other comment, again only per- sonal: 1 would prefer a return from the old brown-and-white cover to strictly white, although I am sure that matters of color- matching and the like caused the change. WILLIAM J. BARTON '45 Chicago (We began publication in 1900 as the Brown Alumni Monthly, and I guess we're in a deep rut. — Ed.) The Tree Farmers Sir: I continue to be amazed at the variety of subjects which find their way into "Small Talk." As Executive Vice- President of the Western Wood Products Association. I have sent information on Tree Farming to about every publication in the country except to the Brown Alumni Monthly. Now I find it mentioned there. My omission was probaly due to the fact that most of my associates at Brown were definitely city-dwellers, and it did not occur to me that they would be interested in forestry activities. Congratulations to Rufus A. Dyer '15 on his tree farm and to you for familiar- izing Brown alumni with this fine program. WENDIXI, B. BARNES '32 Portland, Ore. Lester Ward Remembered Sir: Listening to the College Quiz Bowl the other day, 1 was interested that one of the questions was about famous sociolo- gists, and the first man named was Lester Ward. (The question was missed inciden- tally.) I wonder how many Brown men recall that Ward, the "Father of Sociology," was a distinguished member of the Faculty in the first decade of this century. He was not at Brown for more than three or four years, but it was after he had turned from geology to the new field he developed. I would guess that he was our first Profes- sor of Sociology. It occurs to me that there is no me- morial to Lester Ward at the University where he did such important work. It would be appropriate that there be one — perhaps, a named professorship, at least. CHARLES FREDERICK Providence "FATHER OF SOCIOLOGY.' WHAT'S THE BEAR doing up there? The Cover Discovered Sir: Are you sure your April cover is an original and not a copy of the Dartmouth? I do like editorial integrity. F. ANONYMOUS STOTT Andover, Mass. (With so many alumni magazines using the 1967 "Moonshooter" survey on "Life with Uncle," it was inevitable that at least two editors would resort to the obvious — using an illustration from "Moonshooter" on the cover. At least, we used different il- lustrations. But even that much was colli- sion, not collusion. Besides, we were fas- cinated by the statue of the Brown Bear on the top of the Capitol Dome. — Ed.) A Brown Lecture in Boston Sir: When I recently visited my grand- father-in-law, Charles A. Leonard '16 of Norfolk, Va., he showed me a copy of the Farmer's Almanac for 1822. At the bot- tom of Page B, under a Table of Simple Interest at Six Per Cent, appears the fol- lowing notation: Medical Lectures. Brown University — Medical Lectures commence at Boston (sic), the third Wednesday in November — Anatomy and Surgery, by Dr. Ingalls." It seems that Brown's medical depart- ment has come a long way in more areas than is generally known. Apparently, even 145 years ago, the idea of a "second" cam- pus was not a new one. r. van arsdel whisnand '66 Charlottesville, Va. A Cover That Pleased Sir: I liked your latest cover very much. BERNARD COFFICE (Thank you. Some people say they read us "cover to cover," and they'd be bewildered if we started off with page 3. — Ed.) JULY 1967 133 ■"Don't Just Stand Around" Sir: All success to the Brown Football Association. But I was perplexed hy the cartoon on the flyer that invited member- ship therein. What are the players doing standing around while the ofHcial is sig- nalling a touchdown? HARPER T. QUIBBLE The "Apologetic" Approach Sir: A sabbatical leave of absence from the chaplaincy of St. George's School in Newport has brought me to the Univer- sity of Oxford, and it is to my distant resi- dence here that Her Majesty's Post deliv- ers (somewhat belated) news of Brown. Perhaps it is the distance, perhaps the un- predictable weather of the English Mid- lands, but something in the new location has allowed me to read that news with a new perspective. I have before me the December issue of the Alumni Monthly and a copy of a Feb- ruary letter signed by Professor Bray so- liciting support for the University Fund. Both documents are straightforward and pleasantly unpretentious, but there is in each of them a tone which makes me un- easy. It is an apologetic tone, a defensive tone, and I think it ill suits a great uni- versity. As I reflect on it, it occurs to me that I have heard this tone before — in the voices of Admissions men who represent Brown, in speeches of alumni at fund-rais- ing dinners. It is a tone which suggests that Brown is NOT in the front ranks of American education and, that being so. Brown men must raise their voices and flaunt their colors so that, at least. Brown will not go unnoticed. I can agree with President Heffner's statement that Brown must make certain that "the excellence of the opportunities at Brown are well known," but I cannot agree that, in order to achieve that end, it is necessary con- stantly to defend those opportunities as if they did not speak for themselves. Laissez-faire is not what I advocate — since it is as untenable in education as it is in economics — but I would argue that what is modishly called the "soft sell" is in order. It may be that the atmosphere of an Oxford college founded in the 14th cen- tury f where, incidentally, the policy to- ward public relations has always been "no sell") has affected my vision. But I have written out of an honest concern for my 134 University and in the hope that she may drop the apologetic cloak designed by her well-meaning publicists long enough to re- veal her genuine merits. THE rev. H. H. ROCKWELL '58 Oxford, England (When President Heffner replied to this letter, originally addressed to him, he said: "We do not intend to take an apologetic tone in our publicity. If that is the impres- sion which is given, it may well be that we should reexamine our approach." — Ed.) Short-Form Complaint Sir: I do object to the use of "Mar." as an abbreviation for March. It is as heinous as referring to a distinguished member of the Faculty as Prof. Jos. Carb. BR. UNIV. GRAD. '31 (We're inclined to agree. We've quit using Jul. and are in doubt about Apr., but not on Dec, Jan., et al. You've no idea how often the short form saves a line — in "Vi- tal Statistics," for example. We've no idea ourselves, but it's occasional. — Ed., which is another abbreviation we sometimes em- ploy.) The Earlier C.F.A.'s Sir: I was pleased to read in the April issue about the eight Bninonians who were among those awarded the professional des- ignation of Chartered Financial Analyst (C.F.A.) by the Institute of Chartered Fi- nancial Analysts. You failed to note that this group was the "Class of 1966," so to speak. The ICFA was formed in 1959 by the Financial Analysts Federation, an organi- zation of more than 10,000 members in 39 constituent societies located in major cities in the United States and Canada. In four years of successful operation, 1338 C.F.A. charters have been awarded. There were a few pioneering Brunonians in the "Classes" of 1963, 1964, and 1965. Since there were only eight of them, as nearly as I can determine, it would be a nice gesture if you listed their names in a forthcoming issue. L. J. C. MURPHV '32. F.C.A.

Moreover, the Brown historian was definitely at home on the platform in Alumnae Hall, where he used to lecture so often and so well. (Professor George said he saw many familiar faces, though peo- ple were in the wrong seats. He asked the class monitors to take notice.) He promised to speak slowly, for a stu- PROFESSOR GEORGE at Commencement. BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY dent once complained about the fast pace of his lectures.

All that phenomenal Commencement activity was reduced to a mere 14 pages of specific assignment.

BUSTER Accolade for Alumni DOES IT HELP to have alumni active in the Admissions picture? If you have any doubts, consider a few reports from the leaders of the Alumni Secondary School Program, citing cases of productive volunteer work for Brown this year. When Atlanta sends 10 boys to College Hill to enter the Freshman Class this fall, it will mark the third straight year that the University has attracted a strong group from that city. Responsible are the consistently fine efforts of Charles Weis- becker "41 and the new Area Chairman, Devereau.x F. McClatchey, Jr., '63. Other sections of the country also re- A FEW DAYS after Commencement, Brown learned of the death of its oldest alumnus, Daniel Howard '93, in his 103rd year. We'll write of him in the fall, for this fine mon deserves more than a press-time obituary. (1960 photo) ported good years, with the old guard re- ceiving substantial help from younger alumni and even from parents of current undergraduates. The State of Washington, which sent three Freshmen to Brown a year ago, expects to have 20 enrolled this fall, 16 from the Seattle-Tacoma area, three from Spokane: one will cross the border from Vancouver. Harold S. Shefel- man "20 and Charles Atwood '66 are prominent among the alumni workers re- sponsible for this increase. A year ago, Colorado supplied one Freshman. This fall, the figure will jump to 10. The Admissions Office gives a pat on the back to Eugene M. Kay. Jr., '59, Joseph McGarry '44, Bennett S. Aisenberg '52, Harry L. Hellerstein '61, John C. Pennoyer "63, Richard H. Woulfe '51, W. Randolph Barnhart '65, and Earle C. Drake. Jr.. '52. In Utah, an area shy of alumni, parents of undergraduates pitched in and helped 10 jump the number from two to nine. Leading the way were Mr. and Mrs. Peter Billings, parents of Senior Peter and Soph- omore John Billings: and Mr. and Mrs. Sharf Sumner, parents of Kit Sumner '68. 1 1 Coming from Hawaii Hawaii will send along 11 Freshmen, with David Gray '55 providing the impetus there. Admissions Officer David J. Zucconi '55 also has visited the Islands the last two years. Brown did exceptionally well in Western Pennsylvania, especially in securing some promising football players. An item in a recent Pillshiirgh Posl-Giizelte headlined "Brown Corners Area Gridders" told of the acceptance at Brown of nine outstand- ing high school players from such top schoolboy conferences as the Western Penn- sylvania Interscholastic Athletic League, the Pittsburgh City League, and the Johns- town-India area. The fine publicity in the Pittsburgh paper was the good work of Thomas W. Henderson '61, President of the Pittsburgh Brown Club. Lending a strong helping hand in the recruiting of the Subfreshmen v\as Marvin L. Wilenzik '56. Cleveland had another good year, with up to 19 Freshmen expected from there. Ray Elias '47. Theodore B. Selover. Jr., '52, and William R. Fortner '57 formed a strong Subfreshman triumvirate there. John D. Holbrook '62 did another effec- tive job in Cincinnati, while a new man, Leonard G. Tubbs, Jr., '51, is helping to send four boys to Brown from New Or- leans. The Admissions Office is pleased with the help that it is getting from alumni, especially those living in places far dis- tant from the Campus. As the .Alumni Secondary Schools Program continues to grow (most Clubs now name a Chairman for this important position), the diversifi- cation of Brown's student body should continue.
