In Allin Walker's native North Carolina 
he is considered a liberal. At Brown, his 
views place him more toward the 
conservative end of the political spec- 
trum. In October, Allin was one of three 
or four thousand Brown students who 
participated, to a greater or lesser degree, 
in the Vietnam Moratorium. In the 
cover photograph he is listening to a 
speech at the October 15th peace rally 
on the Statehouse lawn. In "Life Styles, 
'70," a picture story beginning on 
page 16, Allin talks about his own special 
brand of activism.

$92 million sounds \ike a lot of money, but . . . 

8 What are Brown's priorities over the next 10 years when 
it will seek to raise $92 million from private sources? 
Here are some observations as the University embarks on 
the most ambitious fund-raising campaign in its history. 



Viewpoint: Some thoughts on the lunar landing 

12 "If we can land a man on the moon, why can't we. . . .?" 
Thomas O. Paine '42, administrator of NASA, talks about 
the space program and how he feels about the grumblings 
about the large sums of money spent to reach the moon. 



Life Styles '70 — A student sampling 

16 University photographer Michael Boyer '68 set out across 
campus to take pictures of people he thought looked in- 
teresting and then to ask them what they thought about 
the things that interest them. 



Bio-Medical Building: Dedication of an idea 

22 Building dedications become pretty routine stuff after 
awhile, but now and then something special comes along. 
At this dedication, the thoughts expressed are for the 
future of Brown's program in medical education. 



WBRU-FM — Radio on a shoestring 

28 At a student radio station that really isn't a student radio 
station, there is some concern about the future. This is 
a report on the nation's oldest college radio station and 
how the people who have fallen in love with it see the 
next few years.

'AH we ask . . ." 

Brooke Anderson sits on a bench on 
the College Green. It is noon on the day of 
the Oct. 15 Vietnam Moratorium, and a 
memorial service is being held for the war 
dead. Brown chaplain Charles Baldwin 
brings out a quotable quote: "Let them beat 
their swords into plowshares and study 
war no more." State Senator Harold C. 
.Arcaro, Jr. '56, reads the names of the 
N'ietnam war dead from Rhode Island. 

The crowd is mostly young people, but 
Brooke Anderson, wearing the beret that is 
familiar to those who know him well, is 
one of the conspicuous older generation 
in attendance. He carries a folder under his 
arm, and in it is a yellowed 1938 news- 
paper clipping that shows Anderson and 
some others welcoming a famous Japanese 
pacifist to the campus. 

"You know," says Anderson to one 



student, "we had a peace group at Brown 
before," and then he pulls out the 1938 
clipping to prove if. 

Brooke Anderson came to Brown in 
1928 as head of the Brown Christian 
Association. He was a pacifist 50 years 
ago, one who drove an ambulance for the 
French Army in World War I and received 
a Silver Star from General John Pershing, 
but one who also turned back his $1,399 
war bonus certificate in 1924 as a gesture 
toward achieving peace. He stayed on at 
Brown with the University Christian Move- 
ment until he retired in 1957, hut a half 
century later, he was still a pacifist. 

"So it has come full circle," observes 
a bystander after reading the 1938 clipping. 

"But, of course," replies Brooke 
Anderson, "there were not so many of us 
then." He turns to join the students in 
singing "All we are asking is give peace 
a chance." 

The Vietnam Moratorium last month 
was observed on the Brown campus in the 
same manner it was observed at other 
places in the nation. Those who took part 
were mostly young people, but not 
exclusively so. Their numbers were hard 
to calculate because there were non- 



students — old and young — in their 
ranks. Probably 1,500 to 2,000 is a 
respectable guess. 

There were radicals in the midst of 
those working for peace, but violence was 
not the spirit of those 12,000 who attended 
the Oct. 15 rally at the Rhode Island State 
House. Those who worked for it did so 
seriously and energetically in the cause of 
peace. The Moratorium was observed here 
with emotion, but peacefully and with- 
out incident. 

Though a number of campus groups 
urged Acting President Merton P. Stoltz 
to shut down the University in a day in 
which the Brown community would 
dispense with "business as usual to work 
for peace," they acknowledged in advance 
that there were two legitimate arguments 
to the question. And there did not appear to 
be serious disagreement when Dr. Stoltz 
said no. The students who were involved 
with the Moratorium observance simply 
went about their business anyway. 

Dr. Stoltz' decision not to close the 
University carried with it some long-range 
implications. In the first place, the decision 
was made in advance and took a position 
long before other universities had decided 



Excerpts from Dr. Stoltz' Moratorium statement 



"Many faculty and students requested 
that I suspend classes Oct. 15 in recog- 
nition of the Vietnam Moratorium. Many 
have requested that classes continue 
as scheduled. 

"The decision is not a simple one. I 
have pondered it and its implications for 
several days. The problem touches upon 
what is probably the most difficult 
philosophical question confronting the 
modern American university — namely, 
should the university take an official 
position, as an institution, on con- 
temporary political, social and moral issues? 

"There are those who would interpret 
the suspension of classes as evidence that 
Brown University supports the unilateral 
withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam 
by a specified date. There are others who 
would interpret the failure to suspend 
classes as a stand by Brown University in 
favor of the war in Vietnam and support 
of present U.S. foreign policy. By such 
reasoning, the University must come out 
for something or it is automatically against 
it. I cannot accept such reasoning. 

"On the contrary, I believe that there 
is a third position which Brown University 
can and must take — one which is true to 
the basic nature of the university as a free 
and independent institution where every 
individual and every viewpoint has the 
right and obligation to be heard. 

"I decided, therefore, after long and 
thoughtful consideration, that Brown should 
not suspend classes. 

"This must not be interpreted as a vote 
for or against the Vietnam war. Rather it 
should be interpreted as an endorsement 
of the University's fundamental obligation 
to guarantee the right of each of its 



members to follow the dictates of his 
conscience and act accordingly. 

"Every member of this academic 
community must be free to . . . determine 
for himself, with the least constraints or 
intimidation, where he stands on an issue 
as grave as that of the Vietnam war. But 
no member or group of members has 
the right to expect the imposition of 
conditions which will preclude the widest 
variety of intellectual expression and 
rational action, or which will commit the 
institution to one side or another of a 
political issue. 

"The Vietnam Moratorium is being 
planned in the best tradition of peaceful 
dissent. The massive expression of the will 
of citizens is a valid and vital part of 
decision making in a democracy. A uni- 
versity, committed as it is to free expression 
of ideas and the unfettered search for 
truth, should encourage every citizen to 
debate and become involved in the great 
issues of the times ... I urge that every 
member of this academic community 
carefully and honestly consider where he 
as an individual stands on the issue of 
Vietnam and what type of participation is 
in keeping with his own conscience. 

"As a human being, I must loathe the 
Vietnam war and the terrible toll it has 
taken in human life and suffering. As an 
American, I must mourn the bitterness and 
disunity which the war has created in this 
nation and especially on our campuses. As 
a university president, I must strive to 
preserve and protect the autonomy and 
freedom of the university — a unique 
independence which can only be jeopar- 
dized by committing the institution to a 
position on contemporary political issues."

what would be done. There was a touch of 
irony in that while Brown remained open, 
the University of Rhode Island decided 
to close down for the day. Observed one 
faculty member: "I have the feeling that a 
year ago it might have been the other 
way around." 

What Dr. Stollz said was that he 
believed the University should not be 
politicized but that this belief should not 
stand in the way of each of its members 
deciding how he or she would react. The 
key statement in Dr. Stoltz' decision (see 
excerpts from the statement elsewhere on 
this page) was: 

"Every member of this academic 
community must be free to decide how he 
will spend the day of Oct. 15, to determine 
for himself with the least constraints or 
intimidation where he stands on an issue 
as grave as that of the Vietnam war. But 
no member or group of members has the 
right to expect the imposition of conditions 
which will preclude the widest variety of 
intellectual expression and rational action, 
or which will commit the institution to one 
side or another of a political issue." 

And then Dr. Stoltz himself joined 79 
other college and university presidents in 



signing a statement sent to President Nixon. 
The statement, in brief, said the following: 

"We speak as individuals who work 
with young men and women. The uni- 
versities and colleges which we serve take 
no positions as institutions on the Vietnam 
war; these are pluralistic communities 
where men speak for themselves alone on 
off-campus issues. 

"There are times to be silent and times 
to speak. This is a time to speak. . . . Like 
ourselves, the vast majority of the students 
with whom we work still want to believe 
in a just, honest, and sensitive America. 
But our military engagement now stands 
as a denial of so much that is best in 
our society. 

". . . We urge upon the President of 
the United States and upon Congress a 
stepped-up timetable for withdrawal from 
Vietnam. We believe this to be in our 
country's highest interest, at home 
and abroad." 

In his decision not to shut down the 
University for October Moratorium, Dr. 
Stoltz provided for a number of ways in 
which he said honest discussion on the 
question of the war could take place. He 
left the decision of whether or not to hold 



classes to individual faculty members. 
There is no accurate count available, but 
many classes were cancelled. Others were 
held, and in some, the discussion was on 
the pros and cons of the Vietnam War. 

The University also held a convocation 
at Meehan Auditorium on the eve of the 
Moratorium. It invited two speakers, Peter 
Edelman, a former assistant to the late 
Robert F. Kennedy, and New York 
Congressman Allard K. Lowenstein, a 
liberal Democrat who has spoken out 
against the war in Congress on a number 
of occasions. 

At Meehan, a crowd of 1,700 people 
showed up for the speech. There, Univer- 
sity Vice President Ronald A. Wolk set the 
tone of the convocation when he said: 
"There is a myth that the citizenry cannot 
affect the nation. Let this meeting be a 
burial of this notion. It is a commitment to 
the idea of citizen involvement in the 
affairs of state." 

Edelman told the audience that with 
the election of a new President, there were 
signs of change and a psychological relief 
"in getting LBJ out of Washington," But he 
added, nine months later, the war still is 
going on. 




"U will take us five years to get out 
of Vietnam at the rate the Nixon adminis- 
tration is moving." He quoted Camus, when 
he said, "I want to love my country, but I 
want to love justice too. It is my patriotic 
duty to speak out." 

It was cold that night in Meehan. It 
may have been because the ice was already 
on the rink floor, but the crowd's response 
was lukewarm. And as other speakers 
discovered during the October Moratorium, 
the key word to attract applause was 
"Now!" And "Now!" was attached to a 
variation of the same sentence, "We must 
get out of Vietnam. . . ." 

The event at Meehan carried with it 
one bit of drama when a well known black 
leader from Providence took over the 
microphone from Edelman to comment 
that not only did the nation need to 
withdraw from Vietnam, it also had to 
rechannel the money from the war to help 
the poor. The effectiveness of that speech 
was marred by the strong suspicion that 
if the crowd was surprised by the take-over 
of the microphone, Edelman was not. 

Representative Lowenstein arrived late 
and spoke to students on the College 
Green and in Faunce House after the 
midnight services on the campus. 

On Moratorium Day, students began 
working at 5 a.m. to canvass factory 
workers as they were changing shifts. In 
the Faunce House arch, students sat at 
tables efficiently dispatching other students, 
non-students, housewives and others with 
cars to many points in Rhode Island. They 
handed out maps and leaflets: they 
cautioned the over-zealous and spurred 
on the slightly reluctant. Said one student: 
"This is so super-organized that it's 
disgusting." He paused, and then added: 
"But I guess it's necessary for it to be 
this way." 

The anecdotes that came from the day 
were numerous and interesting. One student 



said that an old lady signed his petition 
with an "X" after he had read it to her. She 
couldn't read. Many students said that the 
most receptive people canvassed that day 
were the very young and the very old, a 
response that was noted elsewhere in 
the nation. 

At the State House that night, 12,000 
people gathered to hear a number of 
speakers, among them Rhode Island 
Governor Frank Licht '38, former am- 
bassador to Japan Edwin O. Reischauer, 
MIT Provost Jerome Weisner, and Mitchell 
Goodman, a member of the "Boston Five." 
The procession from the Brown campus 
to the State House was estimated at 
about 2,000. 

What the Vietnam Moratorium 
accomplished or did not accomplish here 
remains in question. What is not in question 
is that it was still another solid piece of 
evidence of how the war has torn the 
fabric of the nation. Brown and the 
Providence community saw the same 
cross-currents of opinion, and perhaps 
what most distressed students and others 
working on the Moratorium were those 
who had no opinion at all. 

Here, the currents were familiarly 
confusing. What was called the largest 
political rally in the history of Rhode 
Island — and one that attracted the governor 
of the state as a speaker — was also called 
"aid to the enemy." The American Legion 
of Rhode Island issued a statement 
acknowledging the right of Americans to 
peacefully dissent, but more than one 
Brown student was called a communist. 
A woman who signed a petition said: "I'm 
past 70 and I think all this killing is 
terrible." Another did not sign, and sug- 
gested that the student leave before there 
was violence right on the spot. 

What real effect the Vietnam Mora- 
torium had here and in other parts of the 
nation remains to be seen, perhaps by 



New York Congressman AUard K. Lowenstein in midnight sessions at Sayles and at Paiince 
House said Nixon is "sincere" but ineffective in ending the war. 




the time President Nixon addressed the 
nation earlier this month. There seemed little 
doubt that if Mr. Nixon's statement was 
not a definite speed-up of withdrawal — or 
perhaps a cease-fire — the nation would go 
through another, and probably more painful 
Moratorium Nov. 13-14. 

The winds of change 

With increasing regularity, universities 
are charged with failure to change and a 
reluctance to share the mechanisms by 
which change is accomplished with a 
wider audience. 

Perhaps in response to the charge, but 
apparently more in keeping with a desire 
to expand the base of its decision- 
making system. Brown made within the 
last month a number of precedent-making 
appointments that will make it less open 
to criticism. 

Here is a breakdown of what those 
appointments are: 

• The Brown Corporation named Mrs. 
Bleike Sheldon Reed P'27 as the first 
woman ever to serve as a member of the 
Board of Fellows. 

• At the same time, the Corporation 
named as a trustee 24-year-old Peter W. 
Billings '67, the youngest ever to serve in 
that capacity. 

• The Associated Alumni named its 
two youngest directors in history by 
appointing Matthew F. Medeiros '67, and 
John R. Pate, Jr., '66, to the board of 
directors. 

• The Pembroke Alumnae Association 
approved the appointment of two Pembroke 
seniors to its board of directors. 

At the time of the election of Mrs. 
Reed and Billings to the Corporation, 
Foster B. Davis, Jr. '39, of Providence, was 
named a trustee and vice-chancellor of the 
University replacing Judge Alfred H. Joslin 
'35, who was named a Fellow last spring. 
Dr. Frank M. Yatsu '55, of Los Angeles, 
was also named as a trustee. 

Davis, a partner in a Providence 
brokerage firm, was an alumni trustee from 
1960 to 1967, formerly served as president 
of the Associated Alumni and was chairman 
of the Brown University Fund in 1968. 

Yatsu is an assistant professor of 
neurology at the University of California's 
San Francisco Medical Center and is chief of 
neurology at San Francisco General. 

Mrs. Reed, the former Doris Brown, 
was first elected to the Corporation as an 
alumnae trustee in 1956 and was named a 
term trustee in 1963. She was a member of 
the Advisory and Executive Committee of 
the Corporation, and served on other 
important committees including planning 
and building. 

Two of the three young alumni elected 
to the Corporation and to the Associated 
Alumni boards are still in school. Billings, 
formerly president of the Cammarian Club, 
won the Samuel T. Arnold Fellowship in 
1967-68. He is a student at Harvard Law 
School and has been a legislative assistant 
to Senator Frank E. Moss (D-Utah). 

Medeiros is completing his final year 
at New York University Law School. He 



has been involved in Brown fund-raising 
projects and is from Little Compton, R.I. 
Pate is a lawyer and an administrative 
assistant at the Walter E. Fernald State 
School in Massachusetts. 

With the election of Medeiros and Pate 
to the Associated Alumni board of directors. 
President Richard J. Tracy '46, announced 
that a new committee has been formed to 
develop special alumni activities for 
graduates of recent classes, and he named 
the two new directors to that committee. 

Tracy said that several studies have 
been made within recent months to 
determine the involvement of young alumni 
in the activities of the organization and also 
to locate the largest concentrations of 
young alumni mostly in metropolitan 
centers. The latter survey shows New York 
City to have the largest number of alumni 
(183) from the last five graduating classes, 
while Boston-Cambridge has 128. Other 
areas in which many young alumni are 
living include Philadelphia (81), Washington 
(52), and New Haven, Conn. (52). The new 
committee will direct much of its attention 
to those areas. 

In another survey completed last spring, 
Tracy said that a large number of younger 
alumni are serving in key Brown Club 
offices. Currently, 12 club presidents have 
graduated within the last 11 years, 13 vice 
presidents are in that age category, and 15 
young alumni are serving as secretaries of 
their clubs. 

The search goes on 

The search for the 14th president of 
Brown is continuing with the hope by 
Corporation members that some decision 
will be in sight by the end of the year. 

Chancellor Charles C. Tillinghast, Jr. 
'32, said that the special committee 
appointed to the task of finding a successor 
to Ray L. Heffner, who resigned last April, 
is proceeding on schedule. He said the 
Corporation is working with faculty 
members and students appointed to assist in 
the job of finding a new president. 

"The situation is that we have a target 
date for December," Tillinghast said. "This 
does not mean an appointment at that time 
is a sure thing. There is an obvious need 



Matthew Medeiros '67 will help develop new 
programs for younger alumni. 



to come to some conclusion around 
that time." 

Tillinghast said the list of candidates 
the committee is considering varies from 
five to 15 and that the list "is not stand- 
ing still." He added that the group is 
attempting to reach a decision by the end 
of the year because of the availability factor 
of top people in education. 

"We know that by February, people in 
the academic field have made commitments 
for the following year. We want to be sure 
that we have a president by the start of the 
1970-71 academic year." 

In the meantime, Tillinghast released 
the criteria the committee is using in the 
selection of a president. Those five 
points are: 

1. The president should be a man who 
combines visionary leadership with demon- 
strated administrative ability. 

2. The president should be a man of 
learning, although not necessarily a man 
from the academic community. He should 
be a man of stature in his field. He must be 
a man who will command the respect of all 
segments of the University community and 
who will be able to secure their support and 
cooperation. 

3. While fund-raising ability and 
business experience are desirable attributes, 
the president should not be selected solely 
or even chiefly on the basis of his qualifi- 
cations as a fund-raiser or business man. 

4. Prior association with Brown would 
be a helpful "plus factor" but should not 

be a prerequisite for the presidency. 

5. Chronological age is relatively 
unimportant, and guidelines regarding age 
should be considered only as guidelines and 
no more. Except in extraordinary circum- 
stances, it would not seem desirable to 
select a man over 55 years of age. No 
minimum age criterion should be 
established. 

Clearing away controversy 

The board of directors of the Associated 
Alumni has decided to bypass action on 
by-law changes made at the Alumni Dinner 
last June and to clear the air on a contro- 

Peter Billings '67 is the youngest trustee 
ever named to the Brown Corporation. 




versial decision related to the nomination of 
alumni trustees. 

Accepting a recommendation from its 
own by-law committee, the directors voted 
to submit all but one of the suggested 
changes to a special meeting of the 
Associated Alumni as part of the annual 
Alumni Advisory Council week-end on Jan. 
31. The one change it will not submit is a 
controversial by-law revision raising the 
number of signatures for a petition candi- 
date for alumni trustee. 

The actions in effect negate decisions 
made last June when a floor discussion 
developed over the proposed changes at 
the Alumni Dinner. 

The background to the action was this: 

Last spring, the Associated Alumni 
offered a number of by-law changes for 
approval at the annual meeting during the 
Alumni Dinner. Most of the changes were 
housekeeping details and minor changes in 
wording. But one by-law change would 
have increased the number of signatures 
necessary on a petition to run on the ballot 
for alumni trustee. It was that by-law 
change that fell on hard times when several 
young alumni showed up at the dinner to 
challenge it. 

It has been customary for voting 
delegates at the Advisory Council to 
decide — based on recommendations from 
Brown Clubs and alumni in the field — the 
names of candidates to go on the April 
ballot for alumni trustee. Seven such 
candidates competed in the alumni-wide 
election for the two alumni trustee 
vacancies last year. 

The by-laws set up by the Associated 
Alumni in 1942 also provide for candidates 
to go on the ballot upon securing 150 
signatures on a petition. Because the number 
150 was set in 1942 when there were 13,000 
Brown alumni, directors proposed that the 
petition signatures be raised to 300 now 
that there are 30,265 Brown alumni. 

That theory and its resulting proposal 
to change the by-laws was challenged by 
three young alumni who showed up to 
speak at the dinner. Peter Broderick '66, 
who was first and only petition candidate in 
the history of the elections, was defeated in 
1968. He was joined by John Sennhauser 
'66 and Elliot Maxwell '68 in the belief that

a committee to study the election process. 




the change to 300 names was excessive and 
that it was designed — or could be construed 
— as discouraging young alumni. Said 
Broderick at the time: 

"Suggesting 300 names is unusual, and 
I question why this should be changed. 
There has been only one petition candidate 
to date in the history of Brown; there does 
not seem to be a plethora of candidates. If 
this change is adopted, it will discourage 
any more." 

Furthermore, the three challenged the 
legality of the notice in the April issue of 
the Brown Alumni Monthly. They said the 
official notice was vague, and that if full 
information had been given in the notice, 
more young alumni would have been at the 
dinner to voice their views. 

When the voice vote was taken on the 
proposals last June, a number of factors 
were revealed: 

1. There was some doubt about the 
actual count approving the changes. 

2. The Alumni Dinner was no place 
to engage in serious issues. 

In recommending to the directors that 
the decision of last June be by-passed, the 
by-laws committee said it took into account 
a number of factors. University lawyers 
who looked into the matter agreed that the 
official notice probably was not clear enough 
to indicate what changes were being made. 
Also, the committee said, it took into 
account that there were many negative votes 
cast that night when it would have been 
cumbersome to make an actual head count. 

"The fairest thing to do," said Stanley 
F. Mathes '39, chairman of the by-laws 
committee and a University trustee, "is to 
clear the air by ignoring the action taken 
in June and to bring the matter before the 
special meeting of the Associated Alumni 
on Jan 31. We also do not plan to take up 
such matters at the Alumni Dinner in the 
future." 

The committee said it had abandoned 
the change raising the number of petition 
signatures to 300, but would submit the 
other changes — about which there appears 
to be no controversy — to the January 
meeting. The committee, in reaching this 
recommendation, held at least one meeting 
attended by Broderick and Maxwell. 

While the discussion was going on 
over the by-law changes, a more basic 
question — that of electioneering — was also 
taking place. An ad hoc committee has been 
named to study what is and what is not 
electioneering, including the matter of 
whether it would be helpful to alumni for 
candidates to make statements. 

Mathes, reporting to the directors, said 
a number of alumni have expressed the 
desire for information other than biographi- 
cal before they vote for alumni trustees. Yet 
the general philosophy here and at many 
other universities where the entire alumni 
body votes is that the office seeks the man, 
not the man seeks the office. 

The ad hoc committee is studying what 
effect asking candidates for statements 
might have in rejuvenating the election 
process, which is attracting a return 
dangerously close to the 25 percent minimum 
of degree holders specified by the 



Corporation when it agreed to allow the 
Associated Alumni to nominate a certain 
number of trustees each year. 

The Associated Alumni directors are 
scheduled to take up the matter further this 
month and to discuss some of the items in 
full at the special meeting Jan. 31. 

To further widen the selection process, 
the board of directors of the Associated 
Alumni said it will present its nominations 
for alumni trustees to the Alumni Advisory 
Council Jan. 31, and that the nominating 
committee will begin its deliberations on 
Dec. 6. Alumni are urged to submit the 
names of suggested candidates to Earl W. 
Harrington, Jr., Chairman, Nominating 
Committee, c/o Alumni Office no later than 
Dec. 1. 

Lincoln — in a happy mood 

It was July 19, 1863, two weeks after 
the battles of Gettysburg and Vicksburg. 
President Abraham Lincoln, in a happy 
mood over the Union victories, took time 
from his duties to scrawl a four-line poem 
making fun of the Confederacy's ill-fated 
plans to capture Philadelphia. 

Lincoln gave the verse to John Hay, 
who mentioned it in his diary entry of 
July 19, 1863. He wrote: "The Tycoon 
(Hay's nickname for Lincoln) was in very 
good humor. Early in the morning he 
scribbled this doggerel and gave it to me." 
But by the time Hay's diary was published, 
the doggerel had disappeared. 

It was rediscovered eight years ago by 
Brown Librarian David A. Jonah as he was 
sorting out various papers in the John Hay 
collection. A folder marked "Civil War, 
Miscellaneous," containing mostly letters to 
Lincoln from people seeking offices, 
yielded the previously unpublished poem. 

The verse, entitled "Gen. Lee's Invasion 
of the North, Written by Himself," reads: 

"In eighteen sixty three, with pomp 

and mighty swell. 

Me and Jeff's Confederacy went forth 

to sack Phil-del, 

The Yankees they got arter us, and gin 

us particular h-11. 

And now we skedaddled back again, 

and didn't sack Phil-del." 

Jonah advised Stefan Lorent, a well- 
known Lincoln scholar, of his discovery 
and allowed him to reproduce the 
original manuscript for his recently 
published biography, Lincoln: A Picture 
Story of His Life. 

While no one was offering the view 
that the newly-published piece of 
Lincolniana was great poetry, the verse 
did offer some insight into Lincoln 
himself. Which may help to explain why 
its discovery after years of resting peace- 
fully in the Hay collection caused a mild 
sensation in the press just before it 
appeared in Look magazine last month 
along with an unknown photographic 
portrait of Lincoln. 

Farewell 'cum laude'? 

The "cum laude" designation for 
graduating seniors may soon be a thing of 
the past at Brown if a recommendation 



of the Special Committee on Educational 
Principles is adopted next month by 
the University's curriculum conunittee and 
the faculty. 

The recommendation to drop the "cum 
laude" honors came as the result of 
returns from a questionnaire sent to all 
1969 graduating seniors who received 
academic distinction. The recommendation 
was one of eight made by this nine- 
member committee, appointed by former 
President Ray L. Heffner in 1968. The 
committee is also the one that laid the 
ground work for the new curriculum 
adopted last spring. 

The committee received 125 responses 
to its questionnaire, with the replies 
strongly in favor of eliminating the "cum 
laude" distinction, according. to Paul F. 
Maeder, associate provost of the University 
and chairman of the committee. 

"I was not surprised at the results of 
the returns," Dr. Maeder said. "Without 
grades there really is no valid method for 
computing the cum laude honor." 

Last spring, as part of the new 
curriculum, the faculty adopted an evalua- 
tion system in which all course work is 
graded at the discretion of the instructor on 
either an "A B C" basis or simply as 
"Satisfactory." (BAM, July 1969). 

The committee also recommended that 
the Sc.B. programs be included in the 
new curriculum in parallel with the A.B. 
programs, subject to the same rules 
and principles. In essence, the committee 
has emphasized the validity of the 
bachelor of science program as a liberal 
education in itself, not as a training 
program for professionals. 

In a somewhat controversial area of 
its report, the committee proposes that the 
language requirement for graduation be 
retained, since "proficiency in a foreign 
language is an important element in the 
background of an educated individual." 
Quite a few students and some faculty 
members had recommended that this 
requirement be dropped. 

Alumni who in the past have had 
trouble passing the swimming requirement 
will be pleased to know that this 
requirement may be dropped. The commit- 
tee also recommends that the physical 
education requirement be reviewed by the 
deans of Brown and Pembroke and that 
the deans are to make annual reports to 
the faculty on this requirement and are 
encouraged to experiment with the program. 
The committee said that it hopes that 
this experimentation "will lead to satis- 
factory, voluntary arrangements" with 
respect to physical education requirements. 

The committee also recommends 
several moves in the area of counseling 
for freshmen. Counseling units in 
dormitories would be established and 
informal meetings between freshmen, 
upperclassmen advisors, and resident faculty 
members would promote increased 
interaction among the groups and addi- 
tional opportunities for individual 
counseling. 

Another recommendation of the 
committee would allow students to take 



an unlimited number of independent 
study courses. In still another move, 
advance placement credit for incoming 
freshmen would be discontinued for the 
time being, pending an investigation 
of the credit system. 

The committee does not recommend 
any change in the "honors" program 
but does recommend that the designation 
of "Honors" be carried on the tran- 
script and not on the diploma. 

According to Associate Provost 
Maeder, an effort is being made to have 
these recommendations placed on the 
agenda for December discussion by both 
the curriculum committee and the faculty. 

In general, what the committee will 
do through its recommendations is to 
follow the guiding principles outlined when 
the new curriculum was debated for 
three consecutive days last spring. In 
virtually every area of the curriculum 
reform, the thrust of change was toward 
imaginative teaching and creative learning, 
acknowledging that in the final analysis, 
it is the student who must assume the 
responsibility for the direction of his 
own education. 

If the recommendation on the 
abolition of cum laude is passed by the 
faculty in December, it would mark 
still another step in the de-emphasis of 
grades as a reward factor in the direct 
route to real intellectual development. 

When 'no' means 'yes' 

During a tour of Nova Scotia last 
summer, Watson Smith '19 came upon 
a bound volume of the Liverpool 
Transcript for 1854. While leafing through 
its pages, he came across an anecdote 
concerning the son of Francis Wayland, 
former president of Brown. The story 
appeared in the issue of Oct. 18, 1854 under 
the heading, A Smart Boy. 

"Doctor Wayland of Brown University 
had a son about six years old, who was 
anything but a fool. The doctor placed him 
under the care of one of the students 
with the charge that he should not go out 
without permission of the tutor. 

"May I go out?" at length inquired 
our hero. 

"No," was the laconic reply. 

A few minutes pause followed. 

"May I go out?" again inquired 
the boy. 

"No," again was the reply. 

The miniature edition of Doctor 
Wayland slowly rose from his seat, took 
up his cap, and pushed for the door. 

"Stop," said the tutor; "do you know 
what NO means?" 

"Yes," said the lad; "it's a particle of 
negation, and two of them coming together 
are equivalent to an affirmation." 

"His wit," said the newspapers, "was 
his passport." 

Students and Americana 

Rare book librarians have long been aware 
of the need for an updated reference source 
on Americana, but it was not until last 
summer, when a feasibility study was 



conducted largely with student help at the 
John Carter Brown Library, that the project 
seemed within reach. 

Now, scholars of the eighteenth century 
may find their search work much simpler 
in five years or so when the bibliography 
project at the JCB is to be completed. 

The standard reference work on 
Americana currently in use is Sabin's 
Bibliothecn Americana, which was compiled 
over the 69 years between 1867 and 1936. 
The JCB, in conjunction with several other 
libraries located in New England, plans to 
prepare a catalogue of eighteenth century 
books published in Europe and related to 
the Americas. The catalogue will include 
those works already listed in Sabin, plus 
additional titles from the collections of 
the participating libraries. This will make 
the reference more complete, and it will 
be arranged chronologically instead of 
alphabetically. 

The feasibility study conducted at 
Brown was funded by Readex Micro- 
print Corporation, which hopes to 
publish many of the catalogued books in 
microprint. What the study was designed 
to show were the number of man hours 
and funds required to catalogue the 20,000 
books involved. There was some prior 
question about the study because no one 
was certain whether students would be 
capable of doing the sophisticated job of 
rare book cataloguing. Four Brown students 
were hired for the project and given a 
crash course in cataloguing by Donald 
Farren, chief of cataloguing at the JCB. 

"We were lucky," says Farren, "to find 
students with the necessary intellectual 
agility and knowledge of languages. I 
believe they were cataloguing the books 
as well as it's been done anywhere." 

Getting used to the smell 

One of the problems of combating 
pollution is that people can become so 
accustomed to a polluted environment that 
they will accept it as natural. Adaptation 
may actually be harmful to man if it lessens 
his sensitivity to dangerous pollutants. 

Dr. Trygg Engen, professor of 
psychology, is investigating the process of 
adaptation by which one becomes so 
used to a smell that it becomes almost 
unnoticeable after prolonged exposure. 

"The last time you entered a florist's 
shop," Dr. Engen explains, "the chances are 
you were immediately assailed by the 
thickly perfumed air. By the time you left 
the establishment, these odors may have 
been far less noticeable. They seen almost 
to disappear. People are inclined to 
assume that the smell disappears because 
their 'system' stops functioning. 

"This is doubtful. What probably 
happens is that their actual sensitivity to 
that smell drops — instantaneously, I 
think — and reaches a new, lower level 
where it remains constant and the person 
is far less aware of it. 

"This adaptation process may be 
dangerous in that it causes us to accept 
smelly pollutants as being non-dangerous," 
Dr. Engen says. "If the air around us 



rings a danger signal, people want to get 
away from it. But adaptation to the 
smell may lessen the danger signals." 

Prof. Engen is exploring the causes of 
this adaptation process through the use 
of an olfactometer, an instrument which 
simulates the odor environment. A 
subject is seated in a booth and alternately 
exposed to two supplies of air, one pure 
and the other odorous, produced by the 
olfactometer. The subject breathes in 
rhythm to a metronome while timing and 
reactions are carefully measured. Ulti- 
mately, Prof. Engen hopes to establish a 
definite curve of adaptation for different 
odors in terms of time and intensity. 

Dr. Engen is concerned with the 
psychological as well as the physiological 
causes and effects of odor perception. 
"We tend to think of fighting air pollution 
in terms of cleaning up the smoke 
stacks," he says. "But there are other 
pollutants that are less visible and may 
be just as dangerous. And I think that we 
should protect people from unpleasant 
odors even if they are not physically 
harmful." 

Learning a second language 

The least painful time to learn a 
second language, the theory goes, is before 
you are old enough to realize what a 
difficult undertaking it is. 

Some 80 Portuguese and English- 
speaking children at the Fox Point 
Elementary School are learning to com- 
municate with each other through a 
bilingual program initiated by Brown and 
the Providence School Department 
this fall. 

Usually Portuguese-speaking children 
receive instruction in Portuguese while 
English speaking students hear English in 
the classroom. But with the new program, 
teachers will switch classes for a small part 
of each day so that all pupils receive 
some instruction in both languages. These 
periods will get longer and longer, so that 
by the end of the year it is hoped that all of 
the students involved will be taught 
half in English and half in Portuguese. 

Many of the Portuguese children were 
recent arrivals in the United States and 
now speak little or no English. 

"The purpose of the whole thing is 
to build communication between the kids 
by making them bilingual at an early 
age," says Dr. Nelson H. Vieira, assistant 
professor of Portuguese at Brown and 
consultant and supervisor for the program. 
He emphasizes that the effort is aimed 
at making the pupils bilingually efficient by 
giving them instruction in a variety of 
subjects in both languages. 

Prof. Vieira devotes a major portion of 
his working time at Brown to the 
bilingual program and has created many 
teaching materials specifically for the 
project. 

Professor Reginald Archambault '52, 
chairman of the University's department 
of education, is chairman of the coordi- 
nating committee for the project and is 
responsible for liaison between the 
University and the city school department. 



I he setting was a meeting of alumni 

and others associated with the 
University who were called together 
to evaluate many months of prelimi- 
nar\' work and research and to 
recommend to the Brown Corporation 
the timing and goals for a capital 
gifts campaign. 

Those who deliberated that day 
were convinced that Brown must 
embark on the largest fund-raising 
venture in its history, yet not all were 
sure of what would be a realistic goal 
and not all expressed their ideas in 
the same way. 

"You know," said former Presi- 
dent Barnaby C. Keeney, who had 
traveled to Providence for the meeting, 
"raising money is like sex. People 
spend a lot of time thinking about it 
but it hardly takes any time to do. I 
spend a lot of my time thinking 
about money." 

It was a typical Barnaby Keeney 
remark — humorously bold, but 
directly on target to his thinly-veiled 
point that the discussions were much 
too cautious. Having experienced a 
number of similar decisions related 
to the University's financial needs 



$92 million 
sounds like 
a lot of money 
but. . . 



when he was President, Dr. Keeney 
said the time to move was now, and 
for the amount the University knew it 
would need in the next 10 years. 

Another person close to the 
fund-raising situation at Brown put it 
differently. Henry D. Sharpe, Jr., '45, 
who would later be named as national 
vice-chairman of Brown's Program 
for the Seventies, said: 

"I think the whole tradition of 
Brown since Henry Wriston has been 
to be a bit unreasonable in our 
demands. I don't think we should give 
up that tradition." 

With that, the people on whose 
shoulders will rest much of the 



responsibility for mounting the new 
campaign recommended to the 
Corporation that the job get under 
way. The goal: $92 million from 
private sources in the next 10 years 
and $30 million of that overall total to 
be raised in the next three years. 

Not unexpectedly, the Corpora- 
tion at its October meeting passed 
favorably on that recommendation 
and triggered the mechanism to begin 
the task. But the interesting aspect of 
the decision was not the Corporation's 
decision to launch the Program for 
the Seventies as much as it was the 
confidence shown by the people who 
would supply the manpower that the 
goal could be met. 

At a time in American education 
when turmoil on the campus has 
slowed the pace of a number of major 
campaigns, it was refreshing to hear 
no talk from development people of 
campus unrest and student activism 
and what effect they might have on 
fund-raising. Yet there were distress- 
ing signs that needed to be evaluated 
before the campaign was officially 
begun; those who are expert in these 
matters wanted to know what possible 




The athletic complex is the large-domed structure. 
Meehan Auditorium is the smaller-domed structure. 



effect on fund-raising might result 
from the current period of inflation, a 
pending tax reform bill that could 
threaten private giving, and the fact 
that Brown is currently in search of 
a President following Dr. Ray L. 
Heffner's surprise resignation last 
spring. 

In the final analysis, the thinking 
— based on further samplings of the 
Brown constituency — was that 
inflation could get worse before it gets 
better but philanthropy goes on, there 
is always new tax legislation before 
the Congress, and that although the 
University is in somewhat of a 
transitional state pending the appoint- 
ment of a new President, this and the 
other factors did not eliminate the 
University's critical need for funds 
over the next decade. 

The University announced that 
the campaign superstructure will be 
headed by Richard Salomon '32, who 
will serve as national chairman. 
Salomon is chairman of the board of 
Lanvin-Charles of the Ritz, Inc., New 
York City. Sharpe, president of 
Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing Co., 
joins with Mrs. Clinton Smullyan 
as national vice-chairmen. Mrs. 
Smullyan is the former Barbara 
Mosbacher P'45. Gordon E. Cadwgan 
'36 of the Boston concern of C. H. 
Walker & Co., will serve as chairman 
of the Fellows, Trustees, and Emeriti 
Committee, and Bruce Donaldson 
'43, marketing manager for E. I. 
DuPont de Nemours & Co., will chair 
the leadership gifts division. 

Not long after the Corporation 
decision was made, the Uni- 
versity held a conference for those 
involved in the campaign at this early 
stage. The meeting was to elaborate 
upon the reasons for the campaign, 
to deal with the most controversial 
aspect of any large fund-raising 
project — the question of priorities — 
and to answer questions. The matter 
of why private education, and in this 
case. Brown, deserves support was 
left to Acting President Merton P. 
Stoltz. 

"The needs of society for knowl- 



edge, understanding, and wisdom 
have never been greater," he said. 
"The demands upon our University 
multiply even faster. Brown must be 
responsive to these needs and these 
changing times, but it must also 
remain constant in its commitment 
to more fundamental and timeless 
values. Only with unstinting support 
from its alumni and friends can this 
University preserve its institutional 
integrity and determine its own 
destiny." 

Dr. Stoltz spoke of the future of 
private education and the effect on 
private education of the increasing 
support of public education. The 
private university, he said, has the 
flexibility to innovate and to lead in 
directions that are not characteristic 
of public education. Also there is the 
matter of the quality level. An 
institution like Brown can select, 
restrict, and remain small in order to 
reach educational levels that are not 
possible in many state institutions. 

"I would stress," he added, "that 
the private university is in the best 
position to maintain educational 
independence and autonomy. As Sir 
Eric Ashby has put it, education must 
renegotiate its position with the 
citizenry, and I believe that public 
education is not in the best position to 
do that. Private institutions derive 
their support from a large number 
of sources, and campaigns like 
this one are important not just to the 
institution involved but for the well- 
being of higher education in general." 

Dr. Stoltz said that in addition 
to the estimated $92 million in private 
gifts, $58 million would be needed 
from government sources in the next 
10 years. Approximately $50 million 
in private sources must be available 
by the middle of the decade, and of 
that sum, $30 million is most urgently 
needed for programs and projects, 
he said, "that have already been 
deferred too long. The latter amount 
is the initial goal the Corporation has 
authorized for the primary phase of 
the campaign." 

The "projects that have been 
deferred too long" cover a number of 



University needs, and the conference 
dealt with what those needs would be. 
Of the $30 million goal for the first 
phase, $10 million is earmarked for 
endowment, $14,800,000 is for facil- 
ities, and $4,500,000 for program 
support. 

Vice-President Ronald A. Wolk 
told the group that endowment 
is the life-blood of the private 
university which enables it to think 
in terms of centuries rather than years. 
"Endowment," he said, "provides 
the University with the freedom and 
flexibility to decide what it will do and 
how. It is faculty salary support, 
library resources, and scholarships. 
It provides for the private university 
some of the funds that offset what 
the public institutions get annually 
from tax sources." 

If the needs for endowment and 
program support were explained 
relatively easily, the question of what 
would get built first was more 
complex. Over-simplified, the Uni- 
versity acknowledged that a number 
of new buildings were needed, that 
some were more urgent than others, 
but that all of those listed among 
priority capital needs were dependent 
upon the funds required to build them. 
There seemed little doubt that several 
buildings — the long awaited athletic 
complex, the geo-math building and 
a humanities building — were high on 
the priority list, and that of these the 
athletic complex was receiving highest 
consideration. 

While the athletic complex and 
the geo-math building were the two 
structures mentioned most frequently, 
growing support for the performing 
arts and the need for a center that 
would house music and university 
theater also had to be considered. To 
best explain the bricks and mortar 
phase of the campaign, the University 
set up a panel of faculty members to 
discuss the needs. Briefly, here is 
what was said: 

Humanities Building: Professor 
Juan Lopez-Morillas, chairman of the 
recently-created Department of 
Comparative Literature, said it was 



"lamentable" that members of his 
department were located in five 
different buildings. "We are now 
making important appointments 
in the field of comparative literature 
and we must be in constant 
communication. Barriers between 
the disciplines are collapsing rapidly. 
The library is to us what the 
laboratory' is to the scientist, and we 
must bring together in one facility all 
those who should be together and 
close to the library." 

Athletic Complex: Professor 
John Rowe Workman, of the Classics 
Department, pointed to the need for 
more athletic facilities for varsity 
athletics and intra-mural activities. 
Said he: 

"Perhaps the best way I can 
explain the need for an athletic 
complex is to say that the last time 
I went swimming in our indoor pool, 
I got rained on. The remoteness of 
Marvel Gymnasium from the main 
campus spells out more than anything 



else the need for a new facility in 
this area." 

Prof. Workman said there were 
14,000 participants in intra-mural 
sports last year, and that the location 
of Marvel Gymnasium almost two 
miles from the campus stifles 
that program. 

"You just cannot recruit such 
varsity athletes as basketball players. 
We lose candidates every year 
because of the remoteness and the 
antiquity of Marvel Gymnasium. Our 
new basketball coach Gerry Alaimo 
told me that when he entered Brown 
in 1954, he was promised that a new 
facility would be built before he 
graduated. 

"The creation of an athletic 
complex would fulfill an obligation 
to the undergraduates. There is 
terrific pressure, for example, to 
participate in athletics from among 
graduate students. And I think we 
all know what Meehan Auditorium 
has done for hockey here." 



Performing Arts Center: Pro- 
fessor Joseph Loferski, chairman of 
the Division of Engineering, said he 
hoped some of the enthusiasm for the 
athletic complex would rub off in 
support for a performing arts center. 

"The hard sciences are impor- 
tant," he said, "but now we are 
increasingly concerned about the 
quality of our life and the ugliness 
that is built into our environment. 
The pollution of taste comes right 
back to our educational system. One 
of the best ways to meet this problem 
is through a good program in the arts. 
People then begin to realize that the 
cheapest way to do a job may also be 
the most aesthetic way." 

Prof. Loferski said the arts at 
Brown are now in the same shape as 
was engineering when he joined the 
faculty nine years ago. 

"Engineering is solid now 
because we have the Barus-Holley 
Building. But when one of the 
University's parts is ill, we all suffer. 




The geo-math building. 



10 



We are not proposing a conservatory 
approach to the arts. Many students 
now involved in the performing arts 
here are majoring in other discipHnes." 

Prof. Loferski said that when 
the curriculum was changed last 
spring to give students more of a 
choice in course selection, some 
people thought that enrollment in 
humanities courses might decline, but 
this has not turned out to be the case. 

"Enrollment has gone up. With 
distribution constraints gone, the 
enrollment in music, for example, has 
increased and that department now 
has 250 students." 

Geo-Math Building: Similar to 
the situation in comparative literature, 
professors in mathematics are also 
located in five different buildings. 
Professor Joseph La Salle, chairman 
of the Department of Applied Mathe- 
matics pointed out that many on his 
teaching staff are sharing offices, that 
graduate students are separated from 
the rest of the department and that 
there isn't enough room to house 
computer equipment necessary to 
the program. 

"Brown has had a long tradition 
in applied mathematics, which has 
been regarded as a distinguished 
department for 30 or 40 years. Yet 
there are at least 20 universities 
setting up applied mathematics 
departments right now. If we are to 
recruit and hold the faculty we need, 
we will require the facilities." 

Prof. La Salle asked the 
rhetorical question: Why geology in 
the mathematics sector? 

"Mathematics and applied 
mathematics need to be together. 
Geology is isolated in one building on 
the main campus and yet it makes use 
of all of the sciences that are 
physically located at the other end 
of the campus. This is a highly 
interdisciplinary field, and geology 
simply needs a new building." 

In answer to a number of pointed 
questions directed mostly to the 
position of the athletic complex on 
the priority list, University spokesmen 
in this meeting and in others main- 



tained essentially three positions: that 
the athletic complex had "high 
priority," that working drawings 
are underway, and that the first step 
in the construction of the complex will 
be the 850 car parking garage that will 
be the foundation of the new complex. 

"The key," said one source close 
to the campaign, "simply is money. 
The garage will be started because 
it is being built with borrowed 
money and, hopefully, self-amortizing. 
The remainder of the building is 
definitely committed as a high priority 
and this, like the other high priority 
items — especially the geo-math 
building — will get built as soon as the 
funds are there. This can be done in 
two ways — either by using funds 
definitely committed to the athletic 
complex or by using funds that are 
not specifically committed to some 
other project. 

"We are proceeding with the 
campaign under the assumption and 
confidence that we can raise $30 
million and that all of the first phase 



items will start as soon as the 
technicalities are worked out. Two 
buildings literally are ready to go as 
soon as we have the funding. Those 
buildings are the athletic complex 
and the geo-math building." 

While little discussion was 
devoted to it, a third building that is 
also near completion of the pre-con- 
struction phase is a new Pembroke 
residence center to be built entirely 
with government funds. No funds 
for residences are projected for the 
first phase of the Program for the 
Seventies. 

The decade ahead and its rela- 
tionship to the financial needs of 
the University, said one of those who 
will work on the campaign, is a 
"conflict between what the heart tells 
you and what the mind tells you. The 
tendency is to go after what you 
need." 

To which Barnaby Keeney 
replied: "Brown needs more than the 
goal and let's not be timid about it."

Some thoughts 

on the lunar landing 



By Thomas O. Paine '42 



Thomas O. Paine '42 is Administrator of the National 
Aeronautics and Space Administration and has headed the 
space program since October, 1968. The NASA picture on 
the previous two pages is an Earth-rise photographed from 
ApoUo 11. 




Man's first voyage across the vast reaches of space to 
set foot on another world is now history. The flight 
really began on May 21, 1961, when President John F. 
Kennedy announced the national goal of a lunar landing 
before the end of the 1960's. That goal was achieved 
on July 20, 1969, before a world-wide audience of half a 
billion people — one-sixth of the Earth's population. 

Apollo ll's dramatic flight showed that most 
prophets of technological advance had been overly 
conservative: the voyage was made not by "Buck Rogers 
in the 25th century," but by Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin 
and Mike Collins in the mid-20th century. 

A few visionary science fiction writers had foreseen 
many of the hardware developments of the space age. 
Jules Verne, for example, predicted a century ago that 
the first lunar trip would be made by three men in a 
conical aluminum capsule launched from southern 
Florida (after a dispute over the launch site with Texas). 
He surmised that the moon ship would be launched by 
postwar bombardment experts using greatly enlarged 
artillery; that the initial velocity would be 24,000 miles 
per hour; that weightlessness would be an enjoyable 
experience; that fiery atmospheric reentry would slow 
the spacecraft by ablation; and that after splashdown in 
the Pacific a U.S. naval vessel would retrieve the 
capsule and crew. 

Jules Verne made this impressively accurate 
prophecy a century into the future after consulting with 
an able scientist. What he and other far-seeing prophets 
failed to envision was the vast scale and complexity of the 
new organization that had to be created to make space 
flight a reality. The institutional advances proved to be 
as challenging as the technical. The creative energies of 
our generation had to be released and directed by a flexible 
new organization with the freedom and discipline to 
attain the nation's bold objective of a lunar landing. 
Without modern communications, transportation and 
computers, the goal could not have been achieved. 

The institutional and managerial implications of the 
Apollo program for other major undertakings here on 
Earth are probably as significant as the technological 
spin-offs. Dr. Dael Wolfle put it very well last year in 
Science magazine: 

"In terms of dollars or of men, NASA has not been 
our largest national undertaking, but in terms of 
complexity, rate of growth and technological sophistica- 
tion, it has been unique. Involved have been a government 
headquarters and a widely dispersed set of laboratories 
and technological facilities: some 20,000 industrial 
contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers; almost 400,000 
nongovernmental workers; and faculty members and 
students at 200 universities. Keeping all of these parts — 
often working right at the edge of technological 
knowledge and capacity — finely tuned and in close 



14 



harmony has been an organizational achievement of 
high order." 

Dr. Wolfle concluded with this prediction : 
"Ever since the space program began to take shape 
there has been talk of technological spin-offs. It may turn 
out that the most valuable spin-off of all will be . . . 
better knowledge of how to plan, coordinate and monitor 
the multitudinous and varied activities of the organizations 
required to accomplish great social undertakings." 



Since the beginning of recorded history, men have 
written about the organization of major enterprises: 
armies and empires, churches and cities, crusades and 
businesses. The Space Agency's advances in effective 
program management were built upon three fundamental 
factors: (1) clearly defined and measurable program 
objectives were established that were broadly understood 
and accepted as a national commitment; (2) bold — but 
technologically feasible — goals and end dates were 
publicly announced; and (3) progress toward meeting 
the goals and dates was dramatically visible to all. 

These features were essential for the success of 
Apollo, and, indeed, may be required for effective 
management of any equally challenging national 
undertaking. Without a well-accepted long-term national 
commitment, programs will not continue to command 
adequate resources, or attract and hold the highly 
motivated competent people who make possible 
extraordinary human achievement. 

For this the goals must be bold, technologically 
and organizationally feasible, and capable of articulation 
by leadership. A challenging deadline must be set to 
maintain a fast pace, force timely decision-making, 
control costs, provide a publicly visible measure of 
progress, and ensure early program redirection 
when appropriate. 

A common grumble since Apollo 11 is: "If we can 

go to the Moon, why on earth can't we ?" (You 

fill in the blank with any terrestrial problem you want 
solved: producing winning Brown football teams, 
eliminating urban blight, or livening up Professor Pfautz' 
sociology lectures.) Much of this grumbling is directed 
at the nation's social ills. The implication is that by 
directly applying space-age technology and management, 
or by diverting space dollars and talents, the government 
could solve society's human problems. 

Unfortunately, it was far easier to go to the Moon 
than it would be, for example, to eliminate ignorance, 
poverty and crime from our cities. As for the money — 
America spends more on milady's coiffures every year 
than on space, which represents less than half a percent 
of our Gross National Product. The budget of the 
Department of Health, Education and Welfare is more 
than 10 times that of NASA. America is history's 



wealthiest and most capable nation; we can do what we 
want to do. Turning back from the challenge of space 
would not stimulate progress elsewhere. 

A nd yet, there is something to these grumblings. Our 
•*^ bold objectives in space exploration should not 
outstrip our human aspirations here on Earth. But the 
answer is to raise our standards in other areas. Our 
space achievements should spur us to improved 
performance elsewhere; they should provide a yardstick 
for measuring accomplishments in other programs. If 
Apollo 11 produces a healthy discontent with the status 
quo that can be channelled into positive action, we in 
NASA will be delighted. I believe that the example of 
Apollo together with the new technology and 
management techniques developed in the space program 
have important messages for other national aspirations. 

It is widely observed that we don't yet understand 
how to solve our complex human problems — that the 
basic social science base is simply not sufficiently 
developed. This is undoubtedly true — but we accepted 
the bold national commitment to go to the Moon before 
we understod how we could possibly accomplish such 
a mission. Remember that in 1961 we had no Saturn V 
rockets, no command modules, no space suits, no lunar 
modules, no knowledge of the lunar surface, no 
rendezvous techniques — the challenging goal was set 
before the first American Astronaut had flown in orbit. 

The lunar landing program got under way on vision, 
discipline, courage and commitment; the essential 
understanding came later. The required knowledge was 
identified and systematically acquired under the pressure 
of program schedules. Mistakes were made, but a sound 
organization of competent men and women was built in 
government, industry and universities. They became 
skilled at anticipating and overcoming obstacles by timely 
development work. Although space program management 
techniques cannot be directly applied in other problem 
areas, innovations have been made and lessons learned 
of major significance. 

I hope that the message from Tranquillity Base that 
men have set foot on another world will embolden us to 
raise our aspirations here on Earth. I believe that space 
travel has opened the possibility of an entirely new destiny 
for man — and, indeed, for terrestrial life. Men of good 
will working together with the tools of modem technology 
can extend man's domain throughout the solar system. 

The Apollo mission to the Moon initiated a new 
chapter in the evolution of life, as significant as the 
emergence onto land of primitive organisms from the sea 
hundreds of millions of years ago. A new and endless 
frontier now opens before mankind. Equally significant: 
the technical and managerial excellence that was developed 
to achieve success in space should embolden us to raise 
our human aspirations here on the good Earth.

Life Styles '70 

A sampling of students 



When universities describe themselves in admissions literature, the word diversity 
usually surfaces more than once. The economic, geographic and academic distribution 
of the student body is often pointed out with pride. Which is a good thing, since a 
homogeneous group of students would find one another rather dull. 

At Brown, styles in dress range from deja vu button down and peter pan collars 
to flowing robes fashioned out of Indian print bedspreads. Political opinions cover 
the spectrum from new left to conservative to none at all. And the correlation between 
dress styles and political stance is not necessarily high. 

Though it has become a favorite sport of the mass media, generalizing about 
"the new generation of students" is a perilous undertaking. Stereotypes no longer hold, 
if indeed they ever did, and student opinions are often prefaced with "I can only 
speak for myself." On these pages are 11 students, chosen at random from some 5,000, 
who do speak for themselves on topics ranging from the new curriculum to the social 
ambience on the campus.

"Pembroke seems like a distinct 
entity to me. Even though we share the 
same classes, I feel separated from Brown. 
The dating situation is so bad, so con- 
trived. It has a great deal to do with the 
separateness and the fact that there 
are so many more boys than girls. 
Pembrokers have managed to alienate a 
lot of the Brown men mostly because 
of the difference in numbers. With 
people coming over to Pembroke to look 
over the new crop of girls, you feel 
like a quantity instead of a person. Co- 
educational dormitories would be much 
more natural." 




Richard Cauman '71 New York City 

"This year I had a choice of moving off campus or being a proctor. I chose being 
a proctor because it was a good way to keep involved with what's going on on campus. 
I'm officially assigned to 18 students, but I actually have 30. The most difficult thing 
about being a proctor is reaching the students who are very quiet. Often you don't 
know if they are having problems. It's necessary for a proctor to speak out to the 
people on his hall and not wait for them to come to him; he might be waiting a long 
time and doing no good. One thing I've noticed about this year's freshman class 
is that they are much more relaxed, and I think it is due to the new curriculum. In a 
way, I'm not sure freshmen appreciate the purpose of the new curriculum. Some seem 
to think it's a holiday season. I hope they will get over this quickly. The change 
has not made that much of a difference for me. I still feel the same pressures to keep 
up and do well."

"I'm here in school because I really haven't got the courage to 
leave. I would like to go out and get a job but that takes a lot of 
guts, which I haven't got. I'm not really qualified to do anything. I'm 
completely dependent and what I need to do is go out and be totally 
on my own and find out if I can hack it. Right now I don't think I can 
and I'm not learning how to do that here. It's a real struggle. 
Sometimes I think that I should go off and get away from Gary and 
school and everything else I'm dependent on and try it on my 
own, but it's not that easy." 

Robert C. Kingsland '70 Columbia, Mo. 

"At the end of my first two years at Brown I had no idea what 
I felt like majoring in and the whole thing seemed irrelevant. I took a 
year off and traveled. I never spent more than two weeks in one 
place. I hitchhiked and worked in the merchant marine. It was a good 
idea. I would recommend a year off to anyone who can swing it 
with the draft. 

"I sat down, after my year of travel was over and before I came 
back here, and tried to figure out, well, now I've been out, what 
do I want to do? I like to travel and I like to write, so why not look for 
something that combines the two? Anthropology was the answer. 

"During the first two years I was here I was a low C student, but 
after I came back from my year off I ended up on the Dean's List. 
Now there are no grades and it makes it all seem much more relevant; 
you're not just out there pounding for some foolish grade at the 
whim of a professor who may be somewhat less than candid. If you 
are learning now, it is because you want to learn."

"I spent last year studying in Paris and in a way it's been difficult to 
come back. I liked living in a big city where things are going on and not just 
because someone set up a college lounge or a mixer or a student government 
to make you feel you are involved. I like to do things as an individual rather 
than as a member of a community. Coming back here seems almost like 
going back to high school. But I'm grateful for one more year of being a 
student because I am realizing how carefree a state it is — a last chance to 
discipline my kind of learning before I go off and start doing it on my own." 




Peter Scoeffer '70 (above) New York City 

"It is difficult for me to place myself politically 
on the campus. If I had to say something, I would 
say that I am a conservative. I think that the mora- 
torium was a fine thing, for example. I went and 
listened to what was happening. I didn't actively 
participate in it because I honestly think that 
more support should be given to the Administration. 
I'm all for getting out of Vietnam. I'm entirely 
opposed to everything that has been done there. 
But we are there and that's a fact." 

Bruce A. Horwitz '70 Providence 

"One of the big things that bothers me is people 
who go into sciences and stay there for their four 
or five years and never surface. That's why I started 
doing photography. It seemed like a way I could 
express a little bit of creativity — sort of like making 
clay models only not as messy — and still have 
time to do physics."

"I've been classified by people here as straight, 
conservative, non-involved. I classify myself as 
very much involved, but in different things than the 
activist student. Rather than direct my energies 
toward national issues, I am concerned with some of 
the personal problems of people around me. The 
statistics from the resident psychiatrist's office, the 
infirmary or the chaplain's office show that many 
more people have personal problems than people 
realize. 

"I am now in a group that is meeting with the 
chaplain trying to clarify some of the feelings that 
people have and classify as religious, but which are 
not being met by existing church institutions. A 
lot of people want some direction in their own lives 
beyond social activism."

"I can't really say that I fit into the University at all yet 
since I commute. Being a freshman, you feel like you're on top of 
a slippery mountain, slowly sinking down. As for being black, 
that is supposed to be the big problem of every black freshman 
who comes to Brown, but it hasn't turned out that way for me. 
A lot of the other black students have come from predominantly 
white prep schools and they didn't arrive with too many pre- 
conceived ideas, but I expected a lot of the students to be hostile. 
But I haven't met anyone who has been generally unfriendly 
yet, and about 90 percent of the students have been very friendly." 




Kevin Ogden Grier '73 (left) Port Chester, N.Y. 

"I went to a suburban public high school that was 13 percent 
black. Yes, percentages are important to me. It is meaningful 
for any minority, such as blacks, to be among a substantial number 
of our own kind. There is a certain amount of pride in being 
black and a member of the Afro-American Society at Brown 
because of its togetherness and the black nationalism that it 
offers. I'm not here to say whether it's right or wrong for the 
Afro- American Society to be exclusively black, but I'm glad 
that it is. In this predominantly white, middle-class school it is 
mentally stimulating and beneficial for black students to 
be together. 

"I think that white people should work in their own white 
communities and get them together before they come to 
integrate something like the Afro-American Society."

"I'm here at Pembroke because 
my room and board is paid for by 
my parents and I have a place to 
paint. I hke being here. I couldn't, 
for example, paint in the basement 
of my parents' home because they 
don't believe in it. My mother's 
attitude is that I spend too much 
money on entertainment, i.e. paints. 
I try to avoid asking myself why 
I am in painting, because if you 
spend too much time trying to 
figure that out you can just go 
insane and never paint. Maybe I 
paint because it has some coher- 
ence. It's not a thing that you do 
from nine to five and then you take 
a vacation. There's no time off. 
It's more a way of life than a job 
and it suits me because I don't 
like vacations."

The Bio-Medical 
Center: Dedication 
Of An Idea 



"Duilding dedications have become routine business 
^ on the college campus, and yet every now and then one 
comes along that holds special significance beyond the 
usual high-blown words that are spoken over new bricks 
and mortar. Such was the case last month as Brown 
formally acknowledged the completion of its $8.5 million 
Bio-Medical Building. 

Three speakers — the acting president of Brown, 
the under secretary of the Department of Health, 
Education and Welfare, and the industrialist who headed 
the fund-raising campaign for the new structure — 
described the Bio-Medical Building as the end of a 
beginning, the dedication of an idea, and the beginning 
of a new phase in medicine at Brown in which a great 
deal more needs to be done. 

It was refreshing that at this dedication on Oct. 4, 
few words were said about the magnificence of the 
structure; the focal point on that day was directed to 
what would go on inside it. 



22 




The official ceremonies were held for some 750 people 
on the open-air patio of the Bio-Med Building. Here is 
a sampling of what three speakers had to say: 

Dr. Merton P. Stoltz, acting president of Brown — 

"In developing a medical education program, the 
construction of a building such as this one does not 
represent the end of a process, it represents the end of a 
phase. The construction of this building has made it 
possible for us to reach the size of class that we had 
officially scheduled — an entering class of some 40 to 50 
students. But no one should be misled into thinking that 
this is the final phase of the medical program, for we 
have a long way to go and we have much to accomplish. 

"There is always great joy in dedicating a college 
building because of what we imagine goes on inside it. It 
is partly nostalgia; it is partly respect for the trans- 
mission of knowledge. But I should like to stress the 
impact of a building and a program like this upon the 
entire community — not merely the local community, but 
the City of Providence, the State of Rhode Island and, 
if we may be so vain to suppose, the entire nation. 

"I know of no program, and therefore no building, 
that will intersect with the local community to the extent 
that this one will." 

John G. Veneman, under secretary of the Department 
of Health, Education and Welfare — 

"These buildings are dramatic and imposing. But 
even more than handsome, new additions to the campus, 
these buildings are dedicated to an idea — an idea that 
links the health resources of the University with those of 
the community at large, an idea which Brown has fostered 




and brought to life. The idea which combines medical 
education, research, and community service should serve 
as an example for many other universities and the 
communities in which they are located throughout 
this nation. 

"I agree with Dr. Stoltz that this is something that 
will have its influence not only on the city and the state 
but on the nation as well." 

G. William Miller, president of Textron, Inc., and the 
national chairman of the Development Fund for Medical 
Education at Brown — 

"The president said it correctly. This is the end of 
a beginning, and the beginning of a new era. There can be 
only one beginning, and it is a particular privilege for 
me to be a part of it. Those of us who worked on the 
fund-raising have been the ones who have gained because 
what we have contributed in time and effort is very small 
against the contribution that this program will make to 
this University, this community, and the nation. 

"My greatest thanks would go to the faculty and to 
the students who, through their dedication and effort, will 
be the living and perpetual evidence of the greatness 
of the program more than the money and the physical 
bricks and mortar." 

All of those who spoke at the dedication attempted to 
place the new building into some kind of perspective, 
but if there was one unifying factor, it was the expression 
of sadness that the late J. Walter Wilson '18 did not live 




long enough to see the Bio-Medical Building completed. 
Dr. Wilson was professor emeritus in bio-medical 
sciences, a noted biologist, and cancer researcher. He 
died last May as the building neared completion, and 
it was in the spirit of the ceremonies last month that 
Professor Wilson was remembered as a guiding force who 
developed much of the framework in which the new 
program could evolve. 

There were others mentioned that day, too. Glidden 
Brooks, who was associate vice president for bio-medical 
development, led the early feasibility study of a new type 
of medical education that would reconcile contemporary 
sciences with the permanent values of the humanities, 
a distinguishing foundation on which the bio-medical 
program has been built into the overall structure of the 
University. Dr. Brooks attended the ceremonies but now 
is president of the Medical College of Ohio at Toledo. 

Mac Edds, formerly director of medicine at Brown, 
is now professor of biology and leader of the Develop- 
mental Biology Section. It was Professor Edds, said Dr. 
Pierre M. Galletti, chairman of the Division of Biological 
and Medical Sciences, who "concretized" the three basic 
goals of the curriculum: the emphasis on the mathematical 
and physical science to endow all physicians with the 
science and technology of medical practice as it will 
prevail at the turn of the century; the continuing stress 
on the humanities and social sciences, which brings the 
liberal arts in a constructive position throughout the 
curriculum; and the early exposure to clinical medicine, 
which associates campus-based and hospital-based faculty 
as a single teaching unit throughout the curriculum. 
Professor Edds, Acting President Stoltz said, pored

Medical Sciences is at left. Below, a presentation is given as part of

over hundreds of drawings to make sure the new 
building fit the needs of the University. 

Finally, attention was paid Professor of Medical 
Sciences Fred Barnes \vho. Dr. Galletti said, constantly 
reminded the University in the formative years of the 
program that students, and not curriculum, are the 
primarv object of Brown and who maintained an 
important contact with the first medical students — 12 
of whom graduated in the first class last June. 

■ I "he building was completed nine years after key 
•*■ administrators and scholars at Brown proposed that 
serious consideration be given the establishment of a 
medical curriculum that would be radically new in its 
approach, and six years after the program was actually 
founded in 1963 to "profoundly affect the teaching and 
practice of medicine for generations to come." It was three 
years and two months ago that former President Ray L. 
Heffner turned the first spade of earth to begin con- 
struction, and it was five months ago that a class of 12 
became the first graduates of the six-year program. 

If the decade between the conception of the progam 
and the dedication of the building seemed long, it was 
Dr. Galletti who made reference to the real age of the 
Brown medical program. Citing a letter dated June 17, 
1827, Dr. Galletti recalled that President Wayland asked 
Usher Parsons, then professor of Anatomy, Psychology, 
and Surgery at Brown, to inform the New England Medical 
Community that Brown was suspending the operations 
of its medical department. The University had reached 
the conclusion that it simply could no longer recruit the 
full-time resident faculty it needed and considered 
essential to teach a curriculum of the first quality. 

President Wayland, more than a century and a 
quarter ago placed a qualification on the suspension of 
medical studies. Said he in his letter to Professor Parsons: 
"Whenever they are resumed, I am well assured that any 
regulations which the gentlemen of the Faculty generally 
shall deem it expedient for the good of the profession to 
adopt will be rigidly observed, and that no degrees 
will be conferred but upon the exhibition of such 
requirements as are considered sufficient to entitle a 
candidate to similar standing in the most elevated 
schools in the country." 

In its first phase of activity in the 19th century. 
Brown had awarded 87 Doctor of Medicine degrees. 
Added Dr. Galletti: 

"This temporary suspension was to wait more than 
a century for the accepted concepts of medical education 
to evolve to the point where a medical program consistent 
with Brown's general aims and traditions could be 
implemented. This occasion represents a landmark in 



the second phase of development of medical education 
at Brown . . . Compared to the eclipse between the first 
and the second medical science program at Brown, the 
period between 1963 and 1969 is indeed short. 

"Yet for the students and the faculty who lived 
through the uncertainties and the anguish of an unproven 
program, the time was long indeed. For many of us, 
1969 projects as the light at the end of the tunnel. Twelve 
graduates now share with the faculty the commitment 
to inspire us all toward new and higher goals. One 
hundred and thirty six students face the challenge of 
becoming physicians for a modern society, that is 
to say cultured scientists doubling as specialists in 
human relations." 

Dr. Galletti paid tribute to the University faculty 
who carry with the program the exciting responsibility 
of combining the cultural breadth of a University with the 
specialized excellence of a professional program, the 
foundations and agencies which helped fund the program 
"and on whose continuing help we must count;" and

■ I 'he two-day ceremonies marking the Bio-Med Building 
-'■ dedication began with a dinner for which Dr. Isaac 
Asimov, associate professor of biochemistry at Boston 
University and a noted science-fiction writer, was the 
main speaker. The Oct. 3 dinner was attended by state 
hospital trustees, representatives of state health orga- 
nizations, the deans of many New England medical 
schools, officials of Rhode Island Colleges and universities, 
and Brown personnel. 

Important to those functions were the number of 
people representing the five hospitals with which Brown 
signed an agreement for a historic university-hospital 
affiliation last spring. That agreement formalized an 
arrangement in which some faculty members within 
Brown's medical education program received joint 
appointments with one of the five hospitals — a step that 
is necessary should the University decide to add the 
final two years toward a program that would result in 
the awarding of an M.D. degree. 

Also present at the formal dedication of the building 
were six prominent medical and scientific researchers 



who were awarded honorary degrees. They are: 

George Packer Berry, professor emeritus of bacteri- 
ology, and former dean of the faculty of medicine. 
Harvard University. Dr. Berry currently is a special assis- 
tant to President Robert Goheen, Princeton University. 

Gertrude Bell Elion, senior research chemist 
and head of experimental therapy, the Wellcome 
Research Laboratories. 

Banice Feinberg, chief of pediatrics, Rhode Island 
Hospital. Dr. Feinberg also is honorary president of 
the Rhode Island Heart Association and founder of the 
Children's Heart Association of Rhode Island. 

Kenneth Livingston Burdon '18, professor emeritus 
and former chairman of the department of microbiology,

About the building 

The Bio-Medical Building is the third element of a long 
range development plan for the University's new medical 
education program. It is a complex of three separate 
structures, served by a common elevator shaft, and 
houses the nucleus for teaching, research, and animal 
care facilities. Each element is planned for orderly 
enlargement, fully coordinated w/ith future space 
requirements for research, administration, teaching 
laboratories, general services, and parking. It is located 
at the corner of Brown, Meeting and Olive streets, 
between Pembroke and the main University campus. 

As a structure that is actually three buildings in 
one, the complex includes a four-story medical research 
tower, a two-story teaching and laboratory area for 
students below ground level, and a five-story animal care 
facility. The building is red brick, exposed concrete and 
glass. An open air patio separates the research tower 
from the teaching floors below. 

Inside the structure, the groimd floor houses a 
behavioral science laboratory, a large photography dark- 
room, radio isotope handling and storage facilities, 
power and refrigeration sources. The lower floors of the 
animal care facility contain reserve space for animal food 
and bedding and a number of features all designed to 
avoid contamination, including a clean service elevator 
that leads to each of the five floors of the animal care 
facility and a second elevator for the transit of con- 
taminated equipment to the services areas. 

The first floor is immediately below the terrace and 
is the main teaching area. It is divided into two separate 
components: the human morphology section and the 
multi-disciplinary laboratories — four large teaching areas 
interconnected by a central laboratory. A small amphi- 
theater and a dozen smaller supporting laboratories and 
preparation rooms are in the morphology section, while 
each of the four teaching areas in the multi-disciplinary 
section contains space for 16 students plus research 
equipment facilities. A console there links the labs with 
the University Computer Center. 

Each of the four floors in the research tower are 

Architects Sherman Morss and ]eari-Panl Carlhin attended the 
dedication of the new building. The same firm also designed the 
Graduate Center, dedicated at the same time last year. 




similarly designed with five research laboratories, one 
conference room, a walk-in cold laboratory with a 
sub-zero freezing room, and a reception-lounge area on 
each floor. The five-story animal care facility will house 
research animals for most of the University and contains 
53 fully air-conditioned and temperature-controlled 
rooms for animal storage, breeding, and care, along with 
quarantine facilities. 

The Bio-Medical Building is air-conditioned 
throughout with a system that completely separates 
stale air from incoming fresh air. 

The architectural firm of Shepley, Bulfinch, 
Richardson and Abbott, which also designed the new 
Graduate Center dedicated at this time last year, sees the 
Bio-Med Center expanding further into the future. Says 
Sherman Morss: 

"Because of the proximity to a residential area, the 
problem of over-powering building bulk was resolved by 
the design into reasonably small building components. 
The heavy traffic on Angell and Waterman streets, and 
the desire to preserve pedestrian traffic between 
Pembroke and the main campus led to another early 
planning decision which affected the design of the 
building: a terrace way has been developed between 
and under individual building components and will 
eventually extend over the two busy streets." 

Morss says that because the teaching facilities are 
entirely below the surface, there is ample opportunity 
for expansion. And since the research component is a 
separate structure floated over the terrace on four shafts, 
additional research space can be provided by adding more 
separate structures to the same design. He adds that the 
long-range plan also includes multi-level parking for both 
faculty and students on the south side of the building. 

While the new Bio-Medical Building was pains- 
takingly designed and constructed to meet the University's 
needs in medical education now and in the future, at 
least one critic demurred for aesthetic reasons. John Ware 
Lincoln, writing in the Providence Sunday Journal, said 
the new structure was forbidding and "no place for 
strangers." Said Lincoln: 

"In the belief that medicine is waging war on disease, 
the imaginative beholder may see a fortress in the 
complex of the Bio-Med. The sloping walls of the 
basement . . . and the slit windows reinforce the fortress 
image, but the barbicans forming the air intakes, and 
the freight doors on Meeting and Olive streets lack the 
amenities of portcullis and moat. My own understanding 
is that the Bio-Med is useful, worthy, strong, massive, 
but I refuse to fall in love." 

Building statistics provide 30,000 square feet for 
teaching laboratories, 32,000 square feet for research 
laboratories, and 30,000 square feet for the animal care 
facilities. The general contractor was the Gilbane Building 
Company and the engineers were the Buerkel Company 
(mechanical) and Thompson Engineering (electrical).

bordering Pembroke College. This scene faces south, toward Faunce

Coni^ of the most irrepressible bulletin boards around 
•^ Brown are those on the third-floor of Faunce House in 
the studios of \VBRU, the student-operated radio station. 

Notices of impending FCC examinations, proclama- 
tions, decrees, fan mail ("I used to be an ordinary human 
being until I started listening to WBRU"), cartoons, and 
captioned photographs spill from the bulletin boards to 
paper nearly every available corner of wall space. The 
surface impression is one of high purpose tempered by 
good-natured foolishness. 

But casual appearances to the contrary, WBRU-FM 
is not merely another student activity. While its public 
face may be one that is enigmatic, WBRU is plainly a 
business — a commercially licensed, 20,000-kilowatt radio 
station \vith FCC specifications to be met, advertising 
contracts to be sold, legal obligations to be upheld, and 
competition to be outdone. Its future is not assured, and 
today, depending upon whom you talk to, WBRU may be 
fighting for its life — or at least that is what some of its 
staff members believe. 

When WBRU-FM first received its FCC license in 
1966, it became one of a handful of student-operated 
commercial radio stations in the country. As one of its 
recent press releases says: ". . . . the most experimental 



The FM programmers try to "put together creative thoughts 
musically." Richard Shapiro, below, recently did his first show 
for WBRU-FM. 




thing about WBRU is our financial and administrative 
structure. 'Twenty kw' student radio may be rare, but a 
student station which attempts to support itself financially 
as an independent entity is even rarer." 

In the three-and-a-half years they have been trying, 
the students at WBRU have discovered why they are in 
such limited company. Operating a commercial radio 
station that is on the air 19 hours a day, every day of the 
year, with a staff that is entirely "part-time" and turns 
over completely every four years, has proved to be a 
major — though attainable — challenge. Placing the station 
on a break-even financial basis for any length of time has 
so far been an unrealized goal. 

WBRU-FM's short history is not unique. Many 
commercial FM stations have experienced financial 
difficulties in the early days of operation. The trend, 
however, is favorable — recent projections indicate that 
the sale of FM radios will soon surpass AM sales. 

Although WBRU has operated a commercial FM 
station only for a few years, student radio at Brown is 
nothing new. It got off to a low-key beginning in 1934 
when two Slater Hall freshmen, who had the only 
phonograph around, decided to wire in a few friends in 
adjacent rooms. From this makeshift arrangement emerged 
WBRU- AM, a closed-circuit station which has been 
broadcasting to the campus continuously since 1935, 
making it the oldest college radio station in the U.S. 

WBRU-AM has continued broadcasting on closed 
circuit to the Brown campus and thus serves as a training 
ground for students who want to become FM 
programmers. But sometime during the mid-fifties the 
management of the student-operated station began to 
think in terms of expanding their auditory horizons 
beyond the boundaries of Brown University. They inves- 
tigated possibilities, prepared reports and drummed 
up interest. 

It was a long time in coming, but finally in February 1966, 
WBRU-FM came on the air for its first broadcast, a panel 
show on the Peace Corps. The new station was located at 
a frequency of 95.5 and broadcast to a southern New 
England area with a radius of about 40 miles. The initial 
expense of buying the license and setting up the 20,000- 
kilowatt station was financed by a $40,000 loan from 
Brown University to Brown Broadcasting Service Inc., a 
separate legal entity formed in 1962 to serve as owner of 
the FM station. 



WBRU-FM: Radio on a shoestring 



28 



The University has agreed to underwrite WBRU's 
operations to the extent of about $8,000 a year until 
February, 1971, when the future of the station will be 
re-evaluated. This has, in a sense, put the station under 
sentence and the student management is determined to 
make WBRU financially stable by the '71 deadline. 

The station's financial difficulties do not stem from 
any lack of interest or dedication on the part of the staff, 
and if one thing is clear, it is that the staff is determined to 
make WBRU-FM self-supporting. Except for a few small 
stipends during the summer, no one gets paid. For many of 
the students, "how many hours a week don't you work at 
the station?" is a simpler question than to ask how much 
time they do spend there. 

Although they are careful to point out that the first 
business of students is studying, few of the WBRU staff 
view their work at the station as only a pleasant hobby. 
They consider themselves professional radio people, and 
they are. Some 30 to 40 WBRU staffers have passed the 
FCC examination for a third class radio operator's license. 
They are at ease with the arcane language of "actualities" 
and "voice feeds," and they are on familiar, if somewhat 
less comfortable terms, with "accounts receivable" and 
"double entry notation." 



People phone the station for information on everything from the 
health of the Beatles to the weather. Here Vito Perillo takes a call. 



S«i!S? 




When it first went on the air, WBRU-FM vied for its 
share of the listening audience with a middle-of-the-road 
music sound, but when Barbra Streisand and Frank 
Sinatra didn't pull the hoped-for response, the manage- 
ment decided to re-evaluate the station's format. They 
surveyed the local competition and, in the time-honored 
manner of competitive enterprise, concluded that their 
strongest chance for success lay in offering the public a 
product that was not already available elsewhere. In 
Providence radio, this was the music of progressive rock. 

Directing the programming at a younger audience — 
the generation which had grown up with rock music — gave 
the station a commercial boost. A large coterie of young 
New Englanders were delighted with WBRU's new 
sound. One happy fan wrote, "It was like finding a 
diamond midst many glass beads." With the change in 
music, the style of WBRU announcers became more 
informal and relaxed. As one disc jockey said. "Straining 
for pear-shaped tones doesn't go with progressive rock. 
We want to sound more like ordinary people." 

Although WBRU has been successful with the rock 
format {Billboard magazine included WBRU in a list of 
the 14 best progressive rock stations in the country) the 
staff has no intention of becoming stagnant. Germaine 
Cummings '71, publicity director for WBRU, predicts an 
innovative future for the station. "We're hoping to become 
something new — a radio station that doesn't pick a certain 
sound as of a certain date and wait to become outgrown." 

The WBRU format has already outdistanced several 
early listeners. When the station switched to rock, few of 
the University-appointed members of the Brown Broad- 
casting Service (B.B.S.) board of directors were particularly 
happy with the change. However the station's charge to 
become as nearly self-supporting as possible mitigated 
against interfering with anything that might accomplish 
this end. As William Surprenant '51, president of the 
board, says: 

"We all objected when the station changed to a rock 
format because we're the older generation. But this is 
what sells. We might not like it, we might not want to 
listen to it, but as long as the station needs to make money, 
the board can't stand in its way." 

TA7 hile it is primarily the music which defines WBRU's 
■ ' listening audience, the station takes its news and 
public affairs obligations seriously. All FCC-licensed radio 
stations must devote a certain portion of the broadcast day 
to news coverage and public service. WBRU-FM has 
nearly always exceeded this minimum requirement. But 
as WBRU newsmen are quick to point out, percentage 
figures say nothing about quality of coverage. The aim of 
their electronic journalism is to "lower the level of 
meaninglessness in news service." 

This purpose was considerably advanced when 
WBRU became an ABC radio news affiliate by default. 
About a-year-and-a-half ago the ABC network developed 
a news package especially for FM stations. When the 



29 



net\vork came to Providence to peddle this free service, it 
couldn't convince any of the established FM stations to 
take it. Rather than have no Providence affiliate, ABC, 
somewhat dubiously at first, offered the service to WBRU. 
"We were overwhelmed that a national network would 
consider giving affiliation to a college station," says Ralph 
Begleiter '71, VVBRU's news director, "and we were 
determined that they wouldn't regret it." 

Since the station has been an affiliate, it has covered 
many local and campus news events for ABC — all to the 
network's approval. "They are very happy with us now," 
says James Schantz '70, WBRU's general manager, "and I 
don't think they would drop us for anything." 

ABC sends down five minutes of national and inter- 
national news every hour. WBRU usually broadcasts 
about four minutes and adds a minute of local news 
compiled from the UPI wire service. ABC also periodically 
furnishes affiliates with depth reports on important issues. 
One of these, a half-hour program called Vietnam Update, 
is aired by the station every Friday. 

The W^RU news staff, some 35 strong this fall, does 
not content itself with re-broadcasting network-prepared 
news. There is usually a WBRU newsman reporting the 
action at important events on campus and in Rhode Island. 

The biggest single news event last year was the '68 
elections, when WBRU produced seven hours of 
continuous on-the-air coverage. About 70 people, 
virtually the entire station membership, participated in 
the project. 

"I think our local coverage was as good or better than 
any in the area," says Begleiter. "We managed to talk to 
every candidate in the local elections, and several of them 
indicated that we were the only station to request an 
interview." On more than one occasion during the night, 
news staffers found themselves providing coverage for 
ABC, UPI and several local stations, as well as WBRU. 

A Ithough the station members are as opinionated as 
•** any group of students, WBRU seldom broadcasts 
editorials. As Schantz says, "We have such diverse 
viewpoints represented on the executive board of the 
station that we can't agree on anything." Begleiter adds: 
"Our general editorial philosophy is that anyone can say 
what he wants on the air, as long as he makes it clear that 
this is an individual viewpoint and does not represent the 
station as a whole." 

In lieu of regular editorials, WBRU instituted a 
comment show this fall. The program, aired for five 
minutes each night, features WBRU staffers reviewing and 
commenting on a recent news story. The opinions 
expressed are strictly those of the individual. Listeners 
who disagree are encouraged to call in and say so. 

While WnSRU's public affairs and music programming 
gather what is largely an under-30 audience, the sports 
broadcasts cross the generation gap and attract many 
older listeners to whom rock music is just so much noise. 



The consensus among local sports fans is that the students 
perform admirably in the role of sportscasters. Joseph 
White, director of sports publicity at Brown says, "The 
job they are doing is close to professional standards and 
they are certainly well-respected by the coaches. WBRU 
has been a key station for Brown sports. They have stuck 
by us in the lean years and we appreciate it." In a letter of 
thanks to the station, soccer Coach Clifford Stevenson 
wrote, "I have heard hundreds of favorable comments 
from your many listeners." 

This year WBRU is covering the entire season, home 
and away in football, hockey and soccer. Brown has 
granted the station exclusive rights for all radio 
broadcasts of hockey and soccer for the '69-'70 season, 
which has helped the station financially. Sports broadcasts 
have turned out to be one of the most lucrative aspects of 
WBRU's programming. Even though Brown's football 
prestige has recently been "less than somewhat," as 
Damon Runyon used to say, the entire football season 
was sold to sponsors on the second day of trying. Since 
the sportscasters travel with the team and the station's 
only expense is a telephone line, WBRU's sports packages 
are a good buy. Anyone with $1,200 can sponsor an entire 
season of football on WBRU, while WJAR, a local station 
which carries Brown football, charges $1,000 per game. 

What the listeners hear when they turn their radio 
dial to 95.5 for an afternoon of football or an evening of 
music forms the public impression of WBRU-FM. But the 
programmers would find themselves talking to an audience 
of one if it were not for some of the station's most 
important and least visible members — the technical staff. 
The chief engineer — this year David Corry '71 — -is, in 
theory at least, the last legal word at WBRU. And well he 
might be since no one else understands the equipment 
completely or has the FCC first class license necessary to 
work on it. 

The technical job at WBRU is especially challenging 
because its transmitter is older than the station's chief 
engineer. A WBRU press release says, "Our custom-re- 
generated 20,000 watt transmitter would probably be 
worth having even if it never worked because of the 
volume of sick humor it has produced." But it does work. 
It works because last spring David Corry and Larry Maier 
'69, the previous chief engineer, stayed up nights for three 
weeks running taking the entire transmitter apart and 
re-soldering every connection in the exciter. This 
mysterious but essential piece of equipment developed an 
illegal hum right before WBRU's license was to come up 
before the FCC for renewal. The student engineers finally 
managed to quiet the exciter down to FCC specifications 
and WBRU's license was renewed for another three years. 

Since the station's entire operations depend on 
someone coming along every year who knows or can learn 
enough electronics to master the complicated equipment 
and pass the rigorous FCC first class license examination, 
the chief engineer is usually frantically on the look-out for 



apprentices. When David Corry first went up to WBRU as 
a freshman, he wanted to be a jazz programmer. "But 
someone happened to ask me if I knew anything about 
electronics. I admitted that I had taken a few courses in it 
in high school. Six months later when I finally escaped 
from the tech room, they had me convinced that I would 
be chief engineer eventually." David Corry has, in turn, 
recruited two potential chief engineers who are now 
studying for the license examination. 

Even though it wasn't what he originally intended, 
Corry likes working on the technical end of radio. "I build 
things up at the station and I enjoy it. If nothing else, I'm 
the only one who can handle it — yet. That's why I am 
working on the other two." 

What "the other two" are letting themselves in for 
seems exemplified by a notice that was recently posted in 
the WBRU offices: 

"The engineering department traditionally reserves 
the FM studios on Saturday at 2 a.m. for maintenance 
work. Anyone wishing to use the studio must wait until 
the technical work is finished." 

A Ithough this sort of dedication to running the station 
•**■ is not rare at WBRU, it has in the past been less 
evident in the business department than elsewhere. The 
attractions of selling advertising and managing the 
business affairs of the station have not proved as 
compelling as programming or electronics for the 
majority of the students. The consequent lack of a 
forceful sales staff appears to be one of the major reasons 
for WBRU's shaky financial condition. 

"We didn't make much money during the first few 
years of our operation," says Corry, "because no one 
knew how to sell or had the time to sell. Even chief- 
engineering you can do on a part-time basis, but to sell 
you have to go out and keep hammering away at people. 
A man came to the station last year to lecture on sales 
technique and, according to him, most sales are made after 
the fifth or sixth visit. College students usually don't have 
the time or inclination to do this." 

The station's sales picture appears somewhat better 
this year however. General manager Jim Schantz says, 
"We finally have salesmen who have no interest whatever 
in becoming disc jockeys or newsmen. Their total concern 
is to sell and service as much advertising as possible — 
and it shows. For the first time, we have met our operating 
expenses for several months in a row. I am optimistic that 
the situation will continue to improve." Schantz' 
optimism is echoed, though less strongly, by news director 
Ralph Begleiter: "For a while last year I was convinced 
that the station would go under. Now I'm not convinced 
that it won't, but things are looking much better." 

Though it is apparent to everyone that WBRU's 
financial difficulties must be resolved, there is no 
consensus on how this can best be accomplished. In spite 
of the problems involved, many of the students prefer that 



WBRU remain a commercial station. Trying to run the 
station as a business, they say, has been invaluable 
experience for them. The president of the B.B.S. board of 
directors is not as positive that this is the best alternative. 
Says Surprenant: 

"I feel, and some other members of the board feel 
the same: the station should perform more educational 
services to the community. The students say that they 
would lose some of their audience if they did, and it's 
probably true. If WBRU were turned into an educational 
station with the University subsidizing it completely, 
then the station's efforts could be directed more toward 
such things as seminars and interviews. But I can see the 
student's viewpoint. This is not working on a radio 
station; this is working for the University." 

In February of 1971, when the University's agreement to 
subsidize the station ends, the two above options must be 
weighed against the possibility of selling the station and 
recouping Brown's investment in it. If WBRU has 
established a trend toward financial stability by then, this 
will probably be a major factor in the University's decision 
about the future of the station. 

But a ledger sheet is not the only thing to be 
considered. The station's public relations value to Brown 
will also be taken into account, although with the current 
rock format, this is perhaps not as strong an arguing point 
as it might otherwise be. 

Another more cogent factor is WBRU's service as 
an unofficial training laboratory for students who plan 
careers in radio. More than a few WBRU alumni have 
established successful careers in broadcasting, both with 
national networks and local stations. One of these, Robert 
Louis Schwartzman '58, is a disc jockey for WABC in 
New York under the name of Bobaloo. "There's no doubt," 
says Schwartzman, "that WBRU is what started me in 
professional radio. When kids call me and ask how to get 
into radio, I tell them to go to a school with a student-run 
radio station. It's the best training in the world." 

WBRU has its friends, and among its most valuable 
assets are interested alumni like Schwartzman. The station 
has received free technical, legal and business advice from 
qualified graduates who understand WBRU's problems 
from having worked there as students. The station's 
official counsel before the FCC in Washington, is Peter 
Tannenwald '64, who was a WBRU member when he was 
at Brown. Other interested alumni have pitched in with 
help when it was needed — on one occasion even with 
programming assistance. Last Christmas vacation several 
ex-WBRU staffers went on the air for a few days so that 
the students could get away to spend some time at home. 

These and other examples bear out David Corry's 
thesis that a study of station loyalty would make an 
interesting sociology project. "The station is almost like 
a family," he says. "There are the same internal squabbles 
and problems, but all the members are devoted to one 
object— WBRU." A.B.

The Remnants of Power: The Tragic 
Last Years of Adlai Stevenson. 

By Richard ]. Walton '51. 255 
pages. Coward-\icCann. $5.95. 

Adlai Stevenson took something with 
him when he departed this world; but it's 
apparently going to be a long time before 
we know what it was — if we ever do. 
From 1952 on, his public career was 
cloaked with an heroic ambiguity which 
came to frustrate those who worshipped 
him almost as much as it seemed to 
frustrate him, but which somehow brewed 
a sense of satisfaction headier than 
success. More people wept at his losses 
than would have cheered his victories. 

Until 1960, and for some even beyond, 
he did for American intellectuals still 
clinging to their New Deal liberalism 
what William Jennings Bryan did for a 
multitude of rural fundamentalists: he 
helped deaden the pain of their decline. 
The emergence of the Kennedys seemed 
suddenly to generate a new group, tanned 
and lean and hard, pushing aside the 
gentlemanly elegance, the courtly evening 
mind of Stevenson to play touch football 
at the peak of the afternoon. That there 
might be elements of myth there which 
historians might someday get their claws 
into and shred info manageable, if 
considerably less colorful strands, is still 
only a nagging suspicion which will have 
to prompt, someday, a good deal of 
hard work. 

Nonetheless, myths are difficult to live 
in, as Richard J. Walton's book both 
demonstrates and exemplifies, for it has 
the virtues as well as the defects which 
are the result of having been engulfed in 
an aura. Walton's position as principal 
Voice of America correspondent to the 
United Nations from 1962 to 1967 was 
a vantage point from which to view 
Stevenson in the last years of that peculiar 
power he wielded. He provides us with 
portraits of Stevenson in the U.N., 
actively engaged in a kind of politics 
which is still new and inevitably unique 
in American political experience, and the 
portraits are extremely helpful to anyone 
seeking to assess not only Stevenson's role 
in the process, but the process itself. 

The policy line between Washington 
and New York is an exceedingly complex 
one, and Walton's cases would be useful to 
examine, even apart from the Stevenson 
puzzle. But his commitment is to Stevenson 
as the center of the problem he examines, 
and his best sections, therefore, are those 
which arouse most of his personal 
sympathies. At such points he uses 
his interview information and his 
correspondence with participants with a 
fine sense of drama. The confrontation 
between Stevenson and the "seven 



intellectuals" in June of 1965 is the best 
example. Otherwise, readers of already 
published work by Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. 
and Theodore Sorenson, as well as the 
ever-faithful New York Times, will find 
much of the material familiar. What is new 
is that one is watching a complex and 
subtle Stevenson on the floor of the U.N., 
dealing with the Congo, Cuba, disarmament, 
and Vietnam. 

How objectively one watches through 
Walton's eyes is another matter, and itself 
a point of interest. Walton's is the story 
of a decline which breaks, from time to 
time, into a muffled cry of an emotion 
trapped between rage and betrayal. 
Stevenson selling Kennedy-Johnson foreign 
policy to the world comes to bear a dis- 
turbing sense of historical deja vii: Bryan 
hawking Florida real estate in his late 
years. One is never quite sure of the degree 
of awareness of the swindle, or indeed of 
the degree of swindle, although Walton 
is pretty sure. What one can be certain of 
is the agony, and Walton's eloquence 
serves that portrayal well. 

Walton's frankly acknowledged 
partisanship has fascinating effects which 
seem, at times, to extend beyond the 
author's intentions. What the dust jacket 
calls a "compassionate defense" of 
Stevenson has more than its share of 
Stevensonian ambiguity. Although the 
author commits himself to a tragic 
interpretation — the call to "Hamlet" is made 
for what one hopes will be the last time — 
there is something a bit too Falstaffian 
about it and in a way the author knows 
that without seeming to accept it. 

Quotes from Stevenson's wit would 
have lit the darker scenes in any case, but 
there is something else. Stevenson often 
comes through the door paunch first. He 
walks, we are told on at least two occasions, 
with a "curious waddle." From the 
beginning his relation to Kennedy has a 
quality of pudgy avuncularity to it, the 
older man of experience advising the 
headstrong youth. Hamlet begins to look 
and sound more and more like Polonius, 
but we are still expected to weep at the 
tragedy. 

Not that one really wants to laugh. One 
can't help being reminded in a way of 
Stevenson's response to one of his earlier 
defeats: the Lincoln tale, "I'm too old to 
cry, and it hurts too much to laugh." In 
a way, despite Walton's deep sense of agony 
and injustice, the idea seems to apply 
here, too. The qualities which gave 
Stevenson the respect of many people must 
surely have involved the degree to which 
he could enlist the entirety of his 
somewhat old-fashioned soul in the utter 
involvement which a career in American 
politics requires. 

In more ways than are at all clear from 
the material about him already published, 
he probably should never have done it. 
One needn't start with 1960 to become 
tangled in the strange complexities of the 
question. The major metaphor of his 
acceptance speech in 1952 established the 
passing of the cup as the symbol of 
sacrifice, and one can only wonder earlier. 



why the governorship, why political 
ambition for a man who, as Walton's 
description suggests again and again, had 
virtually no skin at all. Stevenson seemed 
to understand the problem better than 
anyone else; but that doesn't help Walton's 
dilemma. 

Stevenson put himself in positions 
which required a heroic stance, and then 
seemed reluctant to take one. Whether that 
is tragic or, in a fundamental sense, 
irresponsible is the interesting and ugly 
question which plays throughout Walton's 
book and which ultimately makes it worth 
the reading; but don't expect an answer. 
No one who admired and loved Stevenson 
in the years when his voice provided the 
necessary — and at times the only — 
articulation of the oldest values of human 
community, values which antedated or 
totally ignored combative concepts like 
liberal and conservative, could possibly 
answer it.

This fine collection of essays is

important Blake scholar of the twentieth 



Adlai Stevenson: More wept at his losses 
than would have cheered his victories. 




century. S. Foster Damon has taught at 
Brown University for the past 40 years 
and still continues in retirement to teach 
his famous Blake Seminar, English 296. 

We of the English department and 
the entire University community, wished 
him "ad multos annos" during his 
birthday celebration of February, 1968. In 
this same spirit the book reflects 
equally the mutually entwined interest 
of the editor and contributors in 
Damon and in Blake. As introduction to 
the main body of essays on Blake there 
is a fine photograph of Damon in the 
frontpiece, a warm, personal essay on his 
career by an old friend, Malcolm 
Cowley, and the bibliography of Professor 
Damon's amazingly varied writings. At 
the end of the volume stand 31 plates 
illustrating the work of Blake as painter 
and graphic artist. 

Some of the essays commend 
themselves to the reader of literature with 
general interest in Blake, others are more 
specialized but with excellent critical 
perspectives, still others for the specialist 
and enthusiast of Blake studies. 

In the first group Hazard Adams 
("Blake and the Postmodern") shows how 
Blake's radical perspectives have had 
great influence in liberating literary 
criticism from various dogmatisms; Harold 
Bloom ("The Visionary Cinema of 
Romantic Poetry") compares the visionary 
qualities of Blake's major works 
favorably with contemporary Art Cinema; 
Vivian de Sola Pinto ("Blake and D. H. 
Lawrence") demonstrates the closeness of 
the two sexual revolutionaries in themes 
and ideas, and the specific use of Blake by 
Lawrence in Women in Love. 




Robert Gleckner, Kathleen Raine, 
John E. Grant and Jean Hagstrum in 
sensitive critical essays discuss aspects 
of Songs of Innocence and of Experience, 
which no doubt will always remain the 
most interesting and popular of Blake's 
work to the world at large. 

At the other end of the spectrum are 
essays for Blake specialists and enthusiasts. 
David V. Erdman ("A Temporary Report 
of Texts of Blake") brings us up to date 
on the manuscript and editing situation, 
while Sir Geoffrey Keynes ("The William 
Blake Trust") tells the fascinating story 
of twentieth-century publication of Blake's 
Illuminated Books, efforts beginning in 
1920 and continuing to this day. 

For those interested in Blake's Art and 
in the graphic arts, Martin Butlin, 
Anne T. Kostelanetz, P '63, Morton Paley 
A.M. '58, Albert S. Roe and Northrop 
Frye contribute appreciations of Blake's art 
and interpretations of the symbolism 
of the drawings in relation to many poems. 
Paley on the water colors and engravings 
for Young's Night Thoughts, and Frye on 
The Book of Job, are particularly 
illuminating both as art criticism and 
literary explication. For specialists 
in ideas and sources, Daniel Hughes A.M. 
'53, Ph.D. '58, ("Blake and Shelley: 
Beyond the Uroboros"), Asloob Ahmad 
Ansari ("Blake and the Kabbalah"), 
George Harper ("The Divine Tetrad in 
Jerusalem"), and Piloo Nanavutty 
("Materia Prima in a Page of Blake's Vala") 
serve up interesting and sometimes new 
materials. 

The finest essays in the volume manage 
to convey the sense that Blake studies 
are still in a lively phase in many areas; 
although there is substantial agreement 
about the scope, major myths, and 
importance of the major works, much of 
it due to Damon's monumental William 
Blake. 1924, and A Blake Dictionary, 1965, 
which are generously acknowledged by 
many contributors. Geoffrey Hartman 
("Blake and the 'Progress of Poesy' ") 
gives a brilliant reading of the Poetical 
Sketches and throws out a challenge 
to those who do not believe that in Blake 
"Religion is unmasked by Poetry." 

Harold Fisch in "Blake's Miltonic 
Moment" takes up this challenge 
and makes careful distinctions among the 
religious visions of the Hebrew prophets, 
Milton, and Blake, visions often confused 
by Blakean enthusiasts. Martin Nurmi's 
essay on "Negative Sources in Blake" and 
Paul Miner's "Blake's Biblical Symbolism" 
give important clarifications of Biblical 
and esoteric sources, break lances with 
other critics, and make valuable 
contributions to interpretations of 
Jerusalem, The Four Zoas and other major 
texts. Some of these disputed symbols, 
and certainly the Fisch-Hartman-Bloom 
difference about the relationship of 
Man to God in Blake's poetry, are not 
likely to be decided before the Day 
of Judgment, but as Naphta said to 
Settembrini in one of their endless 
dialectical disputes in The Magic Mountain, 
"On with the Dance!" 



In short, a remarkable Festschrift to a 
remarkable scholar on one of the greatest 
artists ever to live, that lonely and 
enigmatic genius, William Blake.

Professor James D. Boulger, of Brown's 
English department, has recently edited 
Twentieth-Century Interpretations of 
"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." 

Behind the Screen. By Gerald R. Pascal, 
Ph.D. '48. 243 pages. Christopher. $6.50 

Drawing upon his experience as a 
clinical psychologist. Dr. Pascal has 
written about a young man undergoing 
psychotherapy. The book is neither a 
conventional biographical novel nor a case 
history for the student of abnormal 
behavior. It is something in between. 

The author says he has patterned the 
book after the Thematic Apperception 
Test, a personality test in which the patient 
is asked to invent a story about each of 
a series of pictures. Dr. Pascal comments : 

"To construct a story about this scene 
the subject has necessarily to draw upon 
his own past experience. In so doing 
he reveals his own hopes, aspirations and 
needs. He projects, so to speak, himself 
into the story. He has to. There is no one 
else upon whom he can draw in order 
to make the story." 

Behind the Screen is made up of three 
kinds of material. First, a narrative which 
describes happenings in the life of the 
hero, Leslie. Interspersed within the 
narrative is a series of short stories, 
presumably written by Leslie. Brief 
interpretative statements follow each of 
the stories. These are intended to give 
the reader some understanding of the 
patient's progress in therapy as revealed 
through his story-writing. Since the three 
types of material represent three 
different approaches, they are quite 
disparate in character. The flow of 
the narrative is frequently broken by 
insertion of the patient's writings, 
leaving the reader slightly uncomfortable 
at the interruption. The generous 
amounts of narrative and short stories 
lead one to expect that the interpretative 
material will yield insights of some 
depth into Leslie's personality. However, it 
may be that the attempt to write simply 
enough to include the lay audience was not 
completely compatible with his goal. 

The reader bent upon learning more 
about psychotherapy will find this 
book of greatest interest. The author has 
well made the point that therapy is 
likely to be a lengthy, strenuous and, at 
times, highly unpleasant process.

The sports 
scene 

The Verdict — not yet rendered 

The 1969 football season was widely 
advertised in some quarters as the year of 
the Bear Rebellion. With Coach Len 
Jardine's sophomore-dominated team 
victorious in only one of its first four 
games, no one on campus was quite sure 
which direction the so-called Rebellion 
might take by late November. 

Through the first four contests, Brown 
won the game it was expected to win — 
Rhode Island — lost the two games it was 
expected to lose — Penn and Dartmouth. 
And in the one game that might have been 
up for grabs. Brown lost a close decision to 
a Yale team that seemed somehow to have 
retained its formula for winning Ivy games 
despite the losses of Brian Dowling, Calvin 
Hill, and company. 

One thing was sure. As of the midpoint 
in the season, the verdict was not yet in 
on Coach Jardine's third Brown team. A 
rash of injuries that deprived the team of 
three of its four starting offensive backs, 
one outstanding defensive back, the starting 
center, a promising sophomore tackle, and 
the leading punter and extra-point kicker 
certainly clouded the picture. The question 
still remained: How would a Brown team at 
full strength and with a bit more of the 
sa\'vy and experience it was rapidly 
acquiring operate during the second half of 
the season. 

The Bruins brought on some grumbling 
when they dissipated a 13-10 third period 
lead and dropped a 27-13 decision to Yale 
before 16,000 fans. The 38-13 Homecoming 
loss to Dartmouth brought on more of the 
same. Without question, two decisive losses 
on the freshman front to Yale, 42-3, and 
Dartmouth, 40-6, had something to do with 
this reaction. In some quarters, there was 
more concern over the freshman situation 
and its long-range effect on Brown's efforts 
to rebuild than there was with the progress 
of the varsity. 

In fact, there were those who were 
encouraged by some of the things they saw 
in the varsity's play against Dartmouth, 
rated the number three team in the East 
and first in New England before the Brown 
game. The Bears fought back after falling 
behind 24-0, closed the gap to 24-13, and 
had an excellent chance to make it 24-20 
before the high-powered Indians pulled 
away. The blocking at times was crisp, and 
the sophomores seemed to be learning — 
granted, the hard way — some of the tricks 
of the trade. 

"We had 15 sophomores playing against 
Dartmouth," Jardine said. "Dartmouth had 
just one, and he was in there because the 
starting fullback was injured. Nine of our 
sophomores were on offense and six on 
defense. Two or three of these men 
belonged in the starting lineup this year. 



Frankly, the rest of them should have been 
learning what football is all about over on 
the JV field, not against a powerhouse such 
as Dartmouth. Unfortunately, we had to 
depend on too many of these boys too soon." 

Jardine knew even last fall that he was 
going to have to depend a great deal in 
1969 on sophomores. What he didn't know 
last fall was that three of the top five 
defensive players on the 5-1 Cub team and 
two of the leading offensive players wouldn't 
be with him this year. 

Jardine doesn't offer this as an excuse. 
He's not a man for excuses. But the fact 
remains that the defensive unit was the 
heart of last season's freshman team. From 
that unit middle guard Tom Misuraca and 
right end Ralph Vuono decided not to play 
football this season while left linebacker 
Kevin Craig transferred to West Point. Also, 
a great deal of offensive strength was lost 
when Gary Bonner, a brilliant halfback 
prospect, left school in June and Roger 
Quinn, a fine pass receiving end, elected 
not to play. 

"I'm sure every team in the league 
faces this same sort of attrition," Jardine 
says. "Our particular problem at Brown is 
that we're not yet deep enough to take 



losses such as this without having it hurt 
our program visably." 

Jardine and his staff did a great deal 
of soul searching last spring and summer, 
trying to come with some new offensive 
wrinkles to take advantage of the available 
personnel. The result was that the Pro-I and 
Power-I formations were scuttled and 
replaced by the I-V formation. First intro- 
duced by Houston and then made popular 
last fall by Texas, the I-V, in its basic form, 
places the fullback slightly ahead of the 
two halfbacks, thus permitting more options 
in the running game. There are variations 
to this offense, but the main emphasis is 
on a running rather than a passing game. 

"We knew that we could never be a 
great passing team with the present 
personnel," Jardine says. "Bryan Marini is 
only an adequate passer, we're not blessed 
with outstanding receivers, and we assumed 
that protection for the passer, especially 
early in the year, would be a problem 
because of all the sophomores playing in 
the offensive line. On the other hand, we 
felt we had the potential to be a fairly 
strong running team. That was the reason 
for our swing to the I-V." 

On the eve of the opener with Rhode 
Island, Jardine had said that he was satisfied 



How games are lost for want of an additional second or so: Yale defenseman ]irn Gallagher 
blocked this Brown punt by Pat Foley. Gallagher's hands have obscured the ball in this 
picture. Yale blocked two more the same day.

with his starting backfield of Marini at 
quarterback, Bob Flanders and Eric Johnson 
at the halves, and Gerry Hart at fullback. It 
was an experienced unit, with Johnson a 
senior and the other three men juniors. 

"There's some inexperience in our 
offensive line, but if we can keep this 
backfield healthy we should move the ball 
real well on the ground and we just may 
surprise a few people," Jardine said. 

After Brown had accumulated 300 
yards rushing in a convincing 21-0 victory 
over Rhode Island, Jardine seemed to be a 
prophet. Hart gained 97 yards rushing in 14 
carries, scored a touchdown, blocked well, 
and was named to the ECAC team of the 
week. Flanders, showing some good moves, 
picked up 82 yards on the ground, most of 
it in the first half. Johnson caught a touch- 
down pass and Marini ran the new I-V 
offense with assurance. 

There were some other bright spots. 
Bill O'Donnell, a junior corner back with 
speed, covered URI's top receiver. For the 
afternoon he intercepted one pass, broke 
up two potential Ram touchdown passes 
by smacking the ball loose from the receiver, 
and was credited with 10 unassisted tackles. 
And the inexperienced offensive linemen did 
a surprisingly good job of opening up 
holes for the ball carriers. 

Still, there were a few disturbing 
signs. Although Brown gained 300 yards 
rushing, the Bruins didn't show much of a 
passing game, hitting on only three of nine 
for 17 yards. There was the feeling that a 
better blending of the running and passing 
attacks could have blown this game wide 
open. And, while the defensive line held 
Rhode Island to 36 yards on the ground, 
the secondary allowed 13 completions for 
185 yards. 

■Q rown wasn't expected to do much against 

Penn on the new astro turf at Franklin 
Field, but for the first 25 minutes a healthy 
Brown team surprised a few people. Six 
times in that first half the Bruins drove deep 
into Penn territory, only to lose the ball 
without scoring. The backs were scampering 
through huge holes in the Penn line. 

But when the going got tough, the 
Quakers braced in the shadow of their own 
goal posts and the Bruins didn't have the 
passing game to loosen the defense or go 
for the quick strike. For the day. Brown 
amassed 263 yards on the ground but only 
31 through the air on four completions in 
15 attempts. Six interceptions and 96 yards 
in penalties (mostly on procedure calls) 
helped stall the Brown drives. 

As the game moved along. Brown 
gradually started to get very unhealthy. 
Flanders went out late in the first period 
with a knee injury, Johnson went out in the 
second period with a knee injury that 
would sideline him for the season, O'Donnell 
was hurt in the third period with a severely 
torn hamstring pull, while fullback Hart 
and tackle Tom Moser were late-game 
casualties. The Quakers, with deeper 
reserves, led 7-2 at the half and iced it 
with two "big" plays in the second half 
even though Penn's first two quarterbacks 
were injured and out of the line-up. 



Brown had to face Yale with a backfield 
of Marini at quarterback; sophomore Tom 
Spotts, who gained 90 yards against Penn, 
at left half; sophomore Tom Rianoshek 
at right half; and sophomore Jim Hughes 
at fullback. Hughes was second string 
fullback to Rob Cohen with the Cubs, but 
Cohen went on the injured list early in 
the pre-season drills this fall. 

"As a result of the physical pounding 
we took at Penn, plus our long injury list, 
the team had its head down coming up 
to the Yale game," Jardine noted. "All week 
long the boys seemed to feel that they were 
going to play badly and then on Saturday 
they went out and proved their point." 

Brown led, 13-10, in the third period 
on a pair of touchdowns by Marini, the 
second on a beautiful keeper play from 
18-yards out, but two blocked punts (Yale 
blocked three for the game) led to a safety 
and two Elis scores, making the final count a 
disappointing 27-13. The three blocked 
punts resulted from a combination of 
things, according to Jardine: slow snaps 
from center, slow punting by the reserve 
handling that job (senior Jim Colby was 
injured in the opener with URI), and poor 
protection. In each case, a sophomore 
blocked the wrong man. 

■pootball seasons may come and go, but 
^ Dartmouth seems to keep churning out 
successful teams year after year. Their 
1969 club is typical — big, fast, hard-hitting, 
and tricky. The Indians returned the opening 



kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown and 
led, 24-0, midway through the second 
period when junior Bob Warren took a 
Dartmouth punt on his 10-yard line and 
didn't stop running until he reached the 
Indian end zone. He received three good 
blocks at the start of his journey, but the 
final 60 yards or so was all Warren finese 
and speed. 

Warren's run tied a Brown record set 
in 1934 by Mickey O'Reilly '36 against 
Boston University. The 5-10, 175-pound 
Warren, a native of Wilmington, Del., 
returned a Yale punt 75 yards for a touch- 
down in his freshman year and had kickoff 
returns of 88 yards against Holy Cross, 86 
against Dartmouth, and 72 against URI. 

With the exception of the Dartmouth 
game, the Brown defense did fairly well 
against the rush. The "big" plays hurt the 
Bruins in the first three Ivy games, but in 
most cases the breakdowns were in the 
defensive secondary, where the lack of size, 
speed, and quickness has also been a 
contributing factor in a somewhat weak 
pass defense. 

"Coaching this year has been something 
like plugging the dike with your finger," 
Jardine said after the Dartmouth game. 
"The team makes certain mistakes one 
week, you correct them, and then a whole 
set of new mistakes crop up the next week. 
But I like some of the things I see in the 
films. We're improving, and if we can ever 
put it all together we're going to win a 
few more games before the season is over." 



The Brown Band did it first, then the cheerleading squad added Pembrokers Carla Smith '72 

(right) with her male counterpart Kenneth Emhree '71, and Kaaren Ragland '72. 

The addition of coeds was a change for Brown, but when the traditionally male 

cheerleading squads from Yale and Dartmouth showed up this season, they had also 

added a feminine touch.

Today — an individual 

As Coach Cliff Stevenson was leaving 
the Freshman Week orientation program 
in the fall of 1966, he spotted Herman 
Ssebazza of Uganda, Africa, talking with 
a friend. 

"Do you play soccer?" Stevenson asked. 

"Yes," Ssebazza replied. 

"Are you any good?" Ssebazza 
answered only with the quiet smile that 
has become his trademark over the past 
three years. 

Pressing his point, Stevenson asked 
Ssebazza why he hadn't reported earlier 
that week for freshman soccer practice. 

"What's freshman soccer practice?" 
Ssebazza wanted to know. 

Stevenson figured that he'd better start 
at the beginning. Ten minutes later, Ssebazza 
agreed that he'd report the next day at 
Aldrich-Dexter Field. 

"I'd had some experience with foreign 
boys at Oberlin, and I knew that if we were 
to get Herman to report the next day to 
Aldrich-Dexter Field, a place he had never 
heard of, the project would have to be 
handled by the numbers," Stevenson recalls. 
"So, I assigned one of my physical education 
assistants to the task, asking him to meet 
Herman at his room and to bring him to 
Aldrich-Dexter. He looked good in practice 
that day and he's found his own way to 
practice ever since." 

Ssebazza was the starting right wing 
that fall on a Cub team that was 11-0. A 
year ago, he was an integral part of the 
Brown soccer team that won its sixth 
straight Ivy League championship and then 
advanced to the semifinals of the NCAA 
playoffs in Atlanta, Ga. At the conclusion 
of the season he was honored as All-Ivy, 
All-New England, and second team 
All-American. 

Ssebazza chuckles when he recalls his 
version of that first meeting with Stevenson. 

"I really hadn't intended to play soccer 
that first year. Several people had told me 
to spend my time getting used to the 



academic situation. But then someone told 
me during that Freshman Week orientation 
program that students who didn't play a 
sport had to accumulate 42 physical 
education credits in order to graduate. I 
knew I'd never make it, and when Coach 
Stevenson came along I guess I was in a 
receptive mood." 

Rival coaches have told Stevenson 
that they consider Ssebazza one of the 
toughest African soccer players they have 
seen in this country. They rate him an 
outstanding ball handler and play maker, 
but also a player who will forget the finese 
and bang heads when the situation calls 
for it. 

Although the 27-year-old African has 
never been really close to the other members 
of the team, he has fit in well. His team- 
mates respect him as an athlete and as a 
man, and they showed that respect at the 
close of the 1968 season by electing him 
co-captain of this year's team. 

"Herman doesn't supply the rah, 
rah-type of leadership," Stevenson says. 
"He makes his contributions in quiet ways, 
such as working individually with many of 
the sophomores both before and after 
practice. He's assumed more responsibility 
this season and this has brought him out 
a bit. 

"This is a kid who will do anything to 
help the team. Because of the personnel on 
this year's club, I moved him from his 
accustomed wing position to an inside, 
where I thought his ball-handling abilities 
might be of even greater help. Herm would 
rather play the wing, but he made the move 
graciously. And he assisted on the two 
winning goals in the 3-1 decision over 
Amherst in the very next game." 

Ssebazza has noticed a number of 
differences in the game of soccer as played 
by Americans and Africans. "The American 
boys seem to be stronger and they hustle a 
lot," he says, "but the Ugandian players are 
normally more skillful. Here you run much 
more. At home we do a little running now 
and then in practice, but that's all." 



Though this has not been one of Brown's better years in soccer, Herman Ssehazza's perfor 
ance on the field continued to bring out the fans. Here, he slips the hall past a 
Dartmouth player. 





Ssebazza is quiet and relies more on his 
skill than strength on and off the field. 
But he can be tough in a tight spot, and, 
as captain, he does speak out when things 
are not going properly. 




36 



The business of running laps is one 
of two things that has bothered Ssebazza 
about playing soccer in this country. The 
other is cold weather, not an unnatural 
reaction for a man who is accustomed to 
playing in 85-degree weather in Uganda. 
When the temperature starts to dip in 
Providence, Ssebazza attends practice 
attired in a lumberman's cap pulled over 
his ears, baggy sweatpants, and a sweatshirt 
that extends down past his hands. 

Ssebazza has talents other than soccer. 
He's an accomplished ping pong player and 
a couple of years ago won the Brown 
championship. He's also done some 
mountain climbing, scaling the heights at 
Mt. Kilimanjaro on one of his ventures. 
And last summer, while working at Newark 
Air Service in New Jersey, he took flying 
lessons. Coach Stevenson has no plans to 
allow Captain Ssebazza to pilot the team 
on one of its road trips. 

One of the things that helped Ssebazza 
blend into the Brown community is his sense 
of humor. Back at the lounge after one of 
the road games, a teammate tried to get him 
to dance with a coed. "I do not wish to 
cause an international incident." he replied, 
flashing his infectious smile. When his 
fraternity brothers at Theta Delta Chi josh 
with him or try to apply the needle, he 
comes right back, telling them that his 
father is a witchdoctor who will put a 
curse on them. 

Actually, Ssebazza's father is a dairy 
farmer who rents 10 acres of land and a few 
islands on Lake Victoria. The eldest of five 
boys and three girls, Ssebazza is a member 
of the Baganda tribe, which includes 
two-and-a-half million of Uganda's seven 
million people. 

Although it is somewhat unusual for 
the son of an African farmer to go to private 
school, his father sent him to St. Mary's, 
a school run by French Canadian Catholic 
missionaries. His record there was out- 
standing. He placed high in his class 
academically, became president of the 
school debating team, and was captain of 
the soccer team that won the Ugandan 
national championship. He later played on 
the Ugandan national soccer team that 
traveled to Ethiopia and Kenya for 
international competition. 

Ssebazza developed an interest in 
aerospace engineering and worked briefly 
for East African Airways. He then applied 
for study abroad through the African 
Scholarship Program of American Universi- 
ties and was placed at Brown. 

He's done straight "B" work in 
aerospace engineering during his first three 
years on College Hill. One of his interests 
is aircraft maintenance and that's what led 
him to Newark last summer to get some 
experience at Newark Air Service. A year 
of postgraduate study at Brown is a 
possibility, but eventually Ssebazza plans to 
return to Africa to make his contribution 
there. 

"By budgeting my time I found it easy 
to play soccer and still keep my grades up." 
he says. "I've always lived under pressure — 
every day crowded with activities — and I 
guess I wouldn't know how to change." 



Without question, Ssebazza has done 
a great deal for Brown soccer. But he feels 
that soccer has done even more for him. 

"I think a student gets more out of 
college if he participates in some sort of 
extra-curricular activity. With my back- 
ground, this was particularly important. 
There is no way to measure what all the 
associations resulting from soccer have 
done for me. 

"When I arrived in this country three 
year ago I considered myself an African. 
Today I consider myself an individual. I 
think that this is important." 



Winter sports to begin 

The winter sports schedule will be 
highlighted by the appearance of the hockey 
team in two holiday hockey tournaments 
and by a four-game western swing by the 
basketball team under first-year coach, 
Gerry Alaimo. 

Coach Jim Fullerton's sextet will partic- 
ipate in the annual ECAC Tourney at 
Boston on Dec. 19-20, with competition 
coming from Clarkson, Harvard, and Army. 
The team then will fly to St. Louis on Dec. 
25 and on Dec. 28-29 it will join Yale, 
Wisconsin, and Michigan in the St. Louis 
Tournament. Wisconsin is making its bow 
in the strong Western Conference this 
winter and is reported to have the best 
team in its history. 

The basketball team also will use the 
holidays for travel. The Bruins will play the 
University of Akron on Dec. 31, the 
University of Chicago on Jan. 2, Valparaiso 
on Jan. 3, and Oral Roberts College on 
Jan. 5.

Another Crimmin on the way 

Ivan Fuqua, Brown's track coach, is quite 
proud of the fact that he has bridged the 
generation gap. And he's also quick to 
admit that he can thank the Crimmin family 
for his accomplishment. 

Royce B. Crimmin, Jr., '48, a fine 
middle-distance runner, arrived at Brown 
after the war, just about the same time 
Fuqua took over the coaching job. Crimmin, 
who captained the 1948 track team, still 
holds the Brown records for the 440 (48.4) 
and 660 (l:12.2)-yard runs. Now, a gen- 
eration later, his son, Dave, is one of seven 
sophomores on the cross country team. 

"The physical similarities of Royce 
and Dave are amazing," Fuqua says. 
"Sometimes when I see Dave running, I 
think I'm seeing Royce out there again." 

Coach Fuqua feels that young Dave will 
have a fine career at Brown. While at Mt. 
Hermon, he set several cross country records 
and finished fifth in the New Englands. He 
was one of the top performers on last 
fall's freshman cross country team at Brown 
and did a 4:28 indoor mile. 

Despite the presence of Crimmin, the 
varsity cross country team had its problems 



this fall. After beating Yale, 26-29, the 
Bruins dropped decisions to Harvard, 
15-50, and Dartmouth, 18-38. Sophomore 
Bob Enright had a second against Yale and 
a third in the Dartmouth race. Capt. Tim 
Cosgrove was ninth against Harvard, which 
upped its consecutive victory streak 
against Eastern opponents to 29 in the 
Brown meet. 

The Brown freshman runners lost to 
Yale, 22-33, Harvard, 15-49, and Dart- 
mouth, 20-39. Larry McMahon was the 
top runner, finishing first against Yale, third 
against Dartmouth, and seventh in the 
Harvard race. He comes from John 
Burroughs School in St. Louis, where he 
was president of the student body, captain 
of track and cross country, and first in the 
state in the mile run. He is the son of a 
Harvard man. 

Four coaches join staff 

Jim Colletto, a star member of UCLA's 
1966 Rose Bowl champion, and Holy 
Cross standout Jim Healy, are serving as 
members of Brown's football coaching 
staff. Colletto replaces Marv Nyren and 
Healy succeeds Terry Sheehan. 

Colletto, who will handle the offensive 
line, spent two years on the UCLA 
coaching staff following his graduation 
there in 1967. He was co-captain of the 
football team and was an All-Coast 
defensive end selection. He also served as 
catcher and co-captain of the UCLA nine 
in 1966. 

Healy comes to Brown from his 
position as head coach at St. Peter's High 
in Worcester, Mass., where he compiled 
a fine 45-14-2 record. His overall coaching 
record, including stints at Fitchburg and 
Southbridge Highs, is 68-16-2. 

While at Holy Cross, Healy was an 
All-New England, All-East, and honorable 
mention All-American selection. After 
leaving the Cross, he played professional 
football for the Saskatchewan Rough 
Riders of the Canadian Football League 
and the Denver Broncos of the American 
Football League. He will handle the 
defensive line at Brown. 

Sports Shorts 

Paul Babcock '30 played offensive 
guard and defensive tackle on some good 
Brown teams, including the 8-1 powerhouse 
of 1928. Still, when he took his seat at 
Brown Field for the Homecoming game with 
Dartmouth this fall he had mixed emotions. 
This was largely because his son, Ernie, was 
on the field as co-captain and defensive left 
end for the Big Green. Back when he was an 
All-New England selection, Paul stood 6-4 
and weighed 204 pounds. His son is an 
imposing 6-5, 225-pound wingman. 

Paul spent his freshman year at 
Dartmouth in 1925 but transferred to Brown 
the following fall. He wasn't eligible for 
football in 1926 and so missed a chance to 
play with the undefeated Iron Men. Asked 
how he felt playing for Brown against 
Dartmouth, a twinkle came to his eyes. 
"Well," he said, "we managed to defeat 
Dartmouth in 1926 and 1928, but I sent 



both my sons to Dartmouth (Paul, Jr., was 
graduated in 1966), so I hope that softens 
the blow of those two Brown victories." 

Chip Regine, the starting right end for 
the freshman football team, is the son of 
Lou Regine '48, one of the outstanding 
centers in the history of Brown football. 
Young Regine was captain of football and 
lacrosse at La Salle Academy in Providence 
and was an All Class A football selection. 
He attended Worcester Academy one year 
before entering Brown this fall. In the 
opener for the Cubs against Yale, Chip 
caught three passes for 59 yards and 
returned a kickoff 21 yards. Back in 1941, 
Lou played on a 4-1-1 freshman team that 
numbered Dartmouth, Yale, and Harvard 
among its victims. He was the starting 
center for the varsity in 1942 and played 
again in 1946 and 1947 following his tour 
of duty in the service. 

The Brown Rugby Club will spend a 
week in England during the Spring Vacation, 
meeting five of that country's top teams. 
The ruggers will be the second Brown team 
to compete in England, the varsity crew 
having rowed in the Henley in 1966. During 
its March 25 to April 5 invasion of England, 
Coach Dave Zucconi's team will meet 
Oxford, Cambridge, Canterbury, Blackheath, 
and Rosslyn Park. The 20-game spring 
schedule also includes appearances in the 
Shaeffer Tourney in New York City, the 
Commonwealth Cup in Charlottsville, the 
New England Tourney at Amherst, and the 
second annual Ivy League Rugby Champion- 
ship at Brown. 

Football luncheons have been held 
each Monday this fall at the Biltmore 
Hotel, with the Brown Football Association 
providing the sponsorship. Color movies of 
Saturday's game are shown, with Coach 
Len Jardine on hand to provide the 
commentary. 

Fifty years ago this fall, Capt. Ralph 
Nichols '20 pulled off one of the most 
memorable plays in Brown football history. 
The scene was Braves Field and the 
opponent was Dartmouth, undefeated and 
headed for a possible national champion- 
ship. Nichols, a left guard, spoiled 
Dartmouth's dream by blocking a punt with 
his midsection and, never losing stride, 
scampering 43 yards for a touchdown. 
Elmer Armstrong '20 converted and Brown 
was the winner, 7-6. 

Thirty years ago. Coach Tuss 
McLaughry's team, captained by his son 
John, posted a 5-3-1 record. One of the 
highlights of the campaign was a 13-0 
Thanksgiving morning victory over 
previously undefeated Rutgers, with 
sophomore Dick High and senior Hal 
Detwiller leading the way. McLaughry 
was selected to play in the East-West game 
while Spencer Manrodt, a guard, was 
picked for the North-South battle. The 
Bruins were eighth in the nation in total 
offense that year. 

A 32-20 victory over Colgate, Brown's 
first victory over an Andy Kerr coached 
team, featured the 1944 season. Largely 
responsible for this impressive victory were

Brown Clubs 

nr hanks largely to the efforts of Robert O. 

Meader '23 of Sunnyvale, Calif., a new 
Brown Club has been formed. Eighteen 
alumni, representing classes between 1923 
and 1966, got together last month to 
incorporate as the Brown Club of Santa 
Clara Valley. 

Meader, who is a research specialist 
with Lockheed Aircraft Corp., is the first 
president of the club. Serving with him are 
Emery B. MacFarlane '48 as secretary and 
Frank G. Atwood '59 as treasurer. The club 
planned to hold its second meeting Nov. 4 
on the occasion of a visit from Associate 
Alumni Secretary Dave Zucconi '55. 

The 15th annual Chicagoland Ivy 
League Alumni Golf Tournament was won 
this fall by the Brown twosome team of 
Thomas W. Hoagland '63 of Oak Park, III., 
with a 77-7-70 and Thomas F. Jones, Jr., 
'55 of Winnetka, 111., with 84-8-76 for a 
combined low net of 146. Dartmouth was 
second, one stroke back, followed by 
Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, 
and Penn. 

This was the second championship for 
a Brown alumni team. The 16th annual 
tournament is tentatively scheduled for next 
September, with Brown serving as host 
and defender. In the composite 15-year 
standings. Brown is fourth behind Dart- 
mouth, Princeton, and Yale. 

(^nce again, the Brown Club of Rhode 
Island is running the Brown Skating 
Association, 25 weeks of prime-time 
skating at Meehan Auditorium until 
March 29. The program includes Sunday 
afternoons from 3 to 5, Tuesday mornings 
from 9 to 11, and Friday evenings from 
7 to 11. Instructors are present for part 
of each session and all instruction is 
included in the membership fee. 

The family membership for the Skating 
Association is priced at $80 while individ- 
ual memberships are $45. The club will 
accept as members those who are not 
Brown or Pembroke alumni provided they 
first join the Brown Club and pay the $10 
annual dues. Vic Michalson, varsity crew 
coach, runs the program for the Brown Club. 

The Brown Club of Rhode Island 
started something new this fall in an effort 
to help promote the Bear Rebellion. Post- 
game socials, formerly held in Marvel 
Gym, took place this fall in a special tent 
located at the west end of the Stadium. In 
addition to refreshments, the crowds were 
entertained by live music supplied by 
student groups. Gus Saunders '42 and Jack 
Schreiber '50 handled the arrangements. 

A cting President Stoltz plans to hold 

informal seminars with alumni groups 
this year. The first meeting was scheduled 
for Nov. 19 in Worcester, Mass., followed 
the next evening by an appearance before the 
Brown and Pembroke Clubs of Hartford 
and Connecticut Valley. The format will 
remain basically the same at each meeting, 
coffee and dessert at 7:30 followed by 



an informal talk and then questions 
and answers. 

Alumni Secretary Paul F. Mackesey 
'32 has been on the road a great deal this 
fall. In late September, he met with club 
officers in Cincinnati, St. Louis, Kansas 
City, and Indianapolis. Early in November, 
he traveled to Minneapolis, Milwaukee, 
Chicago, Detroit, Syracuse, and Rochester. 
In each case, Mackesey met with club 
officials and helped map plans for the 
current academic year. 

The Brown Club of St. Louis is 
planning an Ivy League Reception to 
coincide with the visit of the hockey team 
in December. The Bruins will be competing 
in the St. Louis Tournament, with com- 
petition coming from Yale, Michigan, and 
Wisconsin. The Ivy League Reception will 
be held Saturday afternoon, Dec. 27, with 
the Brown and Yale coaching staffs on hand 
as special guests. The two-day tournament 
is scheduled for Dec. 28-29. 

T n Washington, D.C., Brown Club members 
and their Pembroke counterparts gathered 
Nov. 4 at the National Lawyers Club to 
hear John Rowe Workman, professor 
of classics, deliver one of his typically 
witty and informative talks. On Nov. 13, 
Admission Officers Dick Nurse and Ken 
McDaniel were scheduled to meet with 
approximately 60 black secondary students 
and their parents, also at the National 
Lawyers Club. The annual Brown-Pembroke 
Christmas Party is scheduled for Dec. 12. 

Daniel M. Garr '52 has taken over as 
president of the Brown Club of Rochester. 
His staff includes 1st Vice-President Robert 
N. Pollock '50, 2nd Vice-President Joel N. 
Axelrod '54, Treasurer Gordon Fuller '55, 
and Secretary Dave DeLuca '64. The 
secondary schools committee includes Garr, 
DeLuca, Fuller, and Paul Christiansen '67. 

Robert Reichley, editor of the Broivn 
Alutnni Monthly, will be the featured 
speaker at a cocktail party sponsored by 
the Brown Club of New York on Dec. 3. 
Each Wednesday this fall, members have 
gathered at the club to view color movies 
of the Brown football game of the previous 
Saturday. Tom Whidden '69, one of 
Brown's top linebackers of recent years, 
has handled the narrations. 

The Brown-Pembroke Club of Fall 
River (Mass.) scheduled its annual fall 
dinner for the Venus DeMilo Restaurant 
on Nov. 13. Prof. James J. F. Deetz of the 
Department of Sociology and Anthropology 
and director of the Plimoth Plantation 
will be the featured speaker. 

A ssociate Alumni Secretary Dave Zucconi 

is currently on a three-week trip that 
takes him to Seattle, Eugent, Ore., Portland, 
San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, 
and Honolulu. He's wearing two hats on 
this journey, representing the Admission 
Office in the search for promising secondary 
school applicants and also conferring with 
Brown Club officials. 

Two clubs based their first fall events 
around the appearance of the football team. 
The Brown Club of Philadelphia held a 
cocktail party at the University of Penn- 



sylvania Museum immediately following 
the game, and the Brown Club of Trenton 
held its social hour in the Prince William 
Room of the Nassau Inn after the 
Brown-Princeton struggle.

O'Brien's contribution was a 90-yard run 
for a touchdown with the second half 
kickoff. 

Back in 1928, the McMillan Cup was 
established, inaugurating collegiate racing. 
Over the years, the race has become 
symbolic of the North Atlantic Coast 
Sailing Championship and is considered 
the most prestigious event of the fall season. 

The Bruins captured the Cup in 1950 
with Glen Foster '52 as skipper and again 
in 1956 when John Quinn '57 was at the 
helm. This fall, sailing at the U.S. Naval 
Academy in 44-foot Luders yawls. Brown 
nailed down its third title. Ending with 40 
points, the Bruins edged Princeton (39) and 
Harvard (36), while defending champion 
Yale was fifth. 

John H. McAleer '70 skippered this 
year's crew. He'd had good experience 
during the summer sailing on the American 
Eagle owned by Ted Turner '60. His first 
mate was Eric Goetz '71, a sailor from 
Manhasset Bay, N.Y. 

D. Scott McCullough '72, a Long Island 
Sound sailor, was chief of foredeck. His 
father, Robert W. McCullough '43, is 
presently head of the syndicate that is 
building a new 12-meter for the defense 
next summer of the America's Cup. 

Foredeck and navigator was David A. 
Snyder '71, captain of the varsity dinghy 
team. He sails out of North Falmouth, Mass. 
Foredeck was George O. Bergantz '71 of 
Buffalo, N.Y.; winch was Paul Farrell '70, 
who also sails out of Falmouth on Cape 
Cod; and the tillers were E. "Ozzie" White 
'72 of Barrington and Bruce Lovell '71 of 
Cuttyhunk, Mass. 

Moving from sailing to the subject of 
horse racing, in the last race prior to the 
disposal of her stable late last summer, 
Mrs. C. Oliver Iselin of Upper Brookville, 
N.Y., won the 82nd running of the Eclipse 
Stakes at Sandown Park, London, with 
Woiver Hollow, which was entered as an 
8-1 shot. It was thought to be the richest 
triumph of her many years of racing. First 
money was $61,989. 

Mrs. Iselin, who is 101 years old, 
named the horse for her estate in Woiver 
Hollow Rd., Upper Brookville. Mrs. Iselin, 
the former Hope Goddard of Providence, 
gave up her United States racing stable 
a number of years ago. Her husband, who 
died in 1932, was regarded as the out- 
standing yachtsman in the United States. 
A commodore of the New York Yacht Club, 
he was sailing master and part owner of 
the Vigilant, Defender, and Reliance, as well 
as manager and part owner of the 
Columbia in the races in which the sloops 
successfully defended the America's Cup. 
Mrs. Iselin's Providence home at the 
corner of George and Brown Streets, was 
given to the University two years ago.

Lucius Salisbury had a fine tribute 
paid him on his 70th High School reunion in 
an upper-New York community. When his

entire assemblage arose to applaud. 

Willis Avery has recovered fully from 
the sudden illness which upset his planned 
return to college for our 65th Reunion, and

f\/Z Delving into class files recently, 
V^^/ Treasurer Sid Bellows came up 
with a musty, yellowed copy of the Brown 
Daily Herald, Special Edition, for June 21, 
1916. This issue featured the Class of 1906 
on its 10th Reunion. Some of the headlines 
bring back fond memories. "College Hill 
Makes 'Em Puff," was one headline. Others 
were: "Brown Finances Saved by 1906," 
"Even George Shor Can't Tell Why 1906 
Won Debate," "1906 Winner at Andrews 
Field." That special edition also listed the 
death of our first class president, Florence 
J. H. Price, killed in action while serving 
with the British army in France. 

Henry G. Carpenter reports he is 
working on an article about Cold Spring 
House as the meeting place for various 
Brown reunions. "I found it difficult to 
concentrate during the summer months 
when I'd rather have been quahaug digging, 
swimming, or fishing." 

Paul Matteson says that he continues to 
enjoy the summers spent at his Camp 
Pausacado on Carr Pond, North Kingstown, 
R.I. "Plenty of company," he reports. Paul 
missed the Alumni Dinner because of a

trip Gerald and I took in the early '60's," 
she says. 



§\^7 Claude R. Branch is the secretary 
\J J of the class, replacing the late Al 
Gurney. His residence: 64 East Orchard

conveniences of The Minden will serve to 
make living a bit more pleasant. 

The letters Al Gurney received from 
British author Frank Swinerton over the 
past 17 years have been turned over to the 
Rockefeller Library by his widow, Florence. 
An effort is being made to put together 
some of the short poems and limericks Al

occasions. It would be appreciated if those 
having copies of such material would send 
duplicates to Florence Gurney at 24 Sheldon 
St., Providence.

Brown man, and an inspiration to us over 
the years. Classmates who attended his 
funeral included Cook, Harkness, Kirley, 
Sweetland, Whitmarsh, Wilmot, and Bugbee. 

One of the last jobs Bill did for the

I Bruce Coulter was honored 
recently at Cranbrook School, 
where he taught and coached from 1936 to 
1962. The school in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., 
has named a section of dormitory complex 
"Coulter Hall." Ben Snyder, assistant 
headmaster, noted in his remarks that he 
was not delivering a eulogy, "for the hero 
of this hour still swings a mean fungo bat, 
splits wood with the fury of a frontiersman, 
and could skate from Gloucester to Asquam 
this very afternoon if there were ice on 
the pond." Citing our classmate as "the 
symbol of a great tradition," the speaker 
went on to say: "This tradition maintains 
stoutly in the face of change that there is 
an inherent nobility in a close relationship 
between teacher and student, whether it be 
a man on one end of a log and the boy on 
the other, or simply a willingness to listen 
and to encourage and to inspire in the 
painful process of growing up." The argosy 
of Bruce Coulter has covered a long and 
successful journey, from the snow country 
of up-state New York to Vermont Academy, 
to the halls and locker rooms of Brown, to 
Blake School in Hopkins, Minn., to 
Cranbrook, and finally to the Kingsbury 
School, where he contributed to the growth

Earl Mantz— the 
Boston Marathon 
but never a diet 



Ernest Mantz '46 of Dallas is a 
man who likes a challenge. He's climbed 
the Matterhorn, been skindiving in the 
Cenote wells at Yucatan Peninsula, and 
bicycled 2,700 miles through Europe — on 
his honeymoon. 

A few years hack, he had a plane drop 
him and three friends on a glacier in the 
French Alps so that they could ski down 
for a continuous eight hours. He also 
made a raft trip along "The Riiwr of 
No Return" in Idaho, that seven-day, 
white-water chute-the-chute made famous 
by Bob Kennedy. 

For Mantz, even joining an exclusii'e 
club becomes a challenge. When he was 
invited to join the Cresto Club in St. Moritz, 
he found out that new members were 
required to make a dangerous bobsled 
run at a speed of about 70 miles per hour 
in a position that placed the face about 
six inches from the snow. 

"The initiation was a bit perilous, but 
well worth it," says Mantz, the owner of 
E. C. Mantz Associates, an industrial design 
firm. "Members get a 10 per cent discount 
on drinks at the club."

stars back to Aldrich-Dexter during Com- 
mencement weekend. He also has run 
several golf outings for the club, although 
he admits he is "somewhat less than 
proficient with a six-iron." Andy, who has 
his offices at Suite 711, Union Trust Bldg., is 
a member of the Greater Providence 
Chamber of Commerce, where he is a 
member of the National Resources Com- 
mittee dealing mainly with water and air

pennant. Jerry is Michigan sports editor for 
the Associated Press in Detroit.

Fortunately for a man of his tempera- 
ment, Mantz still finds a few challenges left 
in the world. For one thing he'd like to 
finish in the Boston Marathon. 

"Back in my student days at Brown and 
at Harvard Business School, I told some of 
my classmates that one day I'd be running 
in the Boston Marathon. I've always liked 
to set goals for myself and then go out 
and do them." 

The industrial designer started pre- 
paring for the challenge of the Marathon 
a year ago last October. When he first 
began to run, he couldn't last half a mile. 
The Marathon is 26 miles. In time, he 
worked up to running four yyiiles every 
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 
six miles every Wednesday, and 12 to 14 
miles on Saturday. On Sundays he stayed 
home with his family and read the paper. 

"My object wasn't to try and win the 
Boston Marathon," he admits. "Not at my 
age (47). I just loanted to fmish within the 
allotted four hours. Some of my former 
classmates were there to see me try." 

Mantz was giinng it a very good try 
until he developed an ear blockage which 
started giving him some pain at the 18-mile 
ynark and caused him to pass out. The 
challenge of the Boston Marathon still 
remains before him. 

Is there any challenge Mantz is afraid 
to face? 

"Yes," said the 6-1, 174-pound Texan, 
who admits he once weighed 220 pounds. 
"I just can't diet. That's one thing about 
all this running. It sure keeps you in 
good shape."

Duchy aspect of Vietnam reporting 



When Wallace H. Terry, 11, '59 was a 
reporter for the Brown Daily Herald in 1957 
he got the biggest story of the academic 
year, an exclusive interview with Governor 
Orval E. Faubus of Arkansas, the man in 
the middle of the Little Rock school 
integration crisis. Terry has been involved 
in reporting racial issues and tensions 
ever since. 

Since 1963, the former editor of the 
Brown Daily Herald has been a Time 
correspondent, covering the riots, marches, 
and other news in Detroit, Los Angeles, 
Birmingham, and Jackson, Miss. To say 
that he has been in the thick of things 
is to put it mildly. Five years ago in Harlem, 
where he was born in 1938, a brick 
slammed into his chest and left him gasping 
on the pavement. In 1963, he was with 
Medgar Evers the night before Liters was 
killed at his home in Jackson. For the past 
22 months, Terry has been in Time's Saigon 
bureau, reporting the war in Vietnam. 

"But going back over the year," says 
Terry, "the most fascinating assignment — 
and in some ways frustrating — was 
reporting the new black militancy in 
Vietnam. The subject is clearly one of our 
military's touchiest." Terry's story on the 
subject was carried in the Sept. 19 issue 



of Time. 

To get the answer to his question — 
has black militancy hampered our combat 
effectiveness? — Terry plunged into the 
middle of things. He spent six months 
covering U.S. unifs in the field, traveling 
from the Demilitarized Zone on the north to 
Dong Tam in the Delta. He talked with 
jet pilots who took him along on their 
strike missions, with airborne troops who 
carried him into the A Shau Valley assault 
that led to Hamburger Hill, with Marines 
on patrol in the DMZ, with the first black 
general of this war, and with a black 
battalion commander zoho choppered him 
into fire fights. 

"My travels were often unofficially 
discouraged," Terry notes. "In many places, 
white officers and sergeants looked on 
suspiciously as I drank, ate, or talked with 
black Marines, soldiers, and sailors in their 
barracks, mess halls, tanks and foxholes." 

One black Army sergeant major urged 
Terry to tone down his Afro hair style 
before he met the troops. Later, Terry 
discovered that the sergeant had ordered 
his men to cut their hair before the "Time 
man" came to talk to them. 

Terry interviewed more than 400 
blacks. And nowhere did he find that black 



militancy has reduced the combat effective- 
ness of either black or white troops. "But," 
he adds, "one thing is clear. The military 
is definitely dealing with a different breed 
of black from those 1 interviewed in 
Vietnam for a Time cover-story two 
years ago." 

Terry's interest in journalism goes 
back to his high school days in Indianapolis, 
although his introduction to the field came 
through the hack door. Trying to play 
football as a 110-pound freshman, he soon 
broke a wrist, and a sympathetic English 
teacher softly suggested that writing about 
sports might be safer. 

An undergraduate at Brown, Terry 
served four years on the BDH, including a 
stint as news director in 1958 and editor in 
his senior year. He was a member of Sock 
& Buskin, Cammarian Club, Brown Key, 
the Sphinx Club, and he served as president 
of Pi Delta Epsilon fraternity. 

Noiv, 10 years after graduation, Terry 
has become a studetzt again. This time 
he's at Harvard, the winner of a Nieman 
fellowship. He's on a year's leave of 
absence from Time while studying the 
economic and political struggles of 
underdeveloped nations, along with 
urban problems.

Z/' f? Don Eccleston, one of Brown's 

19^ hockey defensemen of recent 
years, is stationed in Vietnam. From his 
post there, he sent the following letter 
to Coach Jim Fullerton: "My mother 
forwarded your letter asking for help in 
the recruiting. It was an excellent appeal, 
and I hope a successful one. I think I can 
help. While on patrol the other day I 
ran into a Vietnamese voulh who could 
speak English quite well. At least, I was 



able to understand his shouts of 'Yankee 
Imperialist.' I think he has some of the 
attributes you are looking for. His speed 
is excellent and he has great stamina 
(anyone who carries a 122mm rocket from 
Hanoi to Saigon has got to have stamina). 
His movements to the left and right are 
excellent. He has fantastic ability to 
penetrate defenses with his deceptive 
moves. As for shooting ability, it can't be 
questioned. There is one problem with this 
candidate that I feel obligated to tell you 
about. I feel that his desire to come to the 
U.S. is not due entirely to his desire to play 
for Brown. In fact, he muttered something 
about having always hoped for a chance 
to participate in a real revolution and 
that the American campus seemed to be 
where the action is today." Don says that 
he is one-third of the way toward the 
"real world and freedom."

getting back into condition again made the 
whole thing worthwhile."

several years, first at Brown, then at the

York where he found that people would 
pay handsomely for expert advice in 
Persian art. He was so successful that he 
gave up teaching and devoted his time 
to this new career. Besides the money, his 
new career gave him time for research 
and writing, time he did not have while 
teaching. Since 1925, he had been an 
honorary art advisor to the Iranian 
government and organized dozens of 
exhibitions of Iranian art in the United 
States. In 1936, he was made an honorary

Oldest alumnus dead at age 102 



Frank Oscar Jones '97, a pioneer 
educator who began his teaching career 
in 1888 and who was Brown's oldest living 
graduate, died Sept. 17, at his home at 865 
Toiver Ave., Hartford, Conn., at the age 
of 102. 

Mr. Jones was a native of Skaneateles, 
N.Y., where he was born on June 7, 1867. 
When he was 16 and his father 81, the 
entire responsibility of the family farm 
operation was shifted to his shoulders. 
He had been taken from school three years 
earlier to help. "I guess 1 was enjoying 
school too much. It might have been wiser 
to make it seem more like work," he 
once said. 

He began his teaching career in 
Skaneateles, and operated the farm at the 
same time. When he entered Brown in 
1893 at the age of 26, he had been teaching 
school for six years, having received a 
four-year certificate from the State Normal 
School in Cortland, N.Y. in 1892. Following 
graduation from Brown, he went on to 
earn a master's degree in philosophy 
from Yale University in 1907. 

While Mr. Jones was serving as a New 
Haven school principal in 1903, the Con- 
necticut legislature set up the first state 
supervisory service for rural towns unable 
to afford their own superintendent. Mr. 
Jones was the first rural superintendent 
named under this law and he was assigned 
to four one-room schools in Prospect, Conn. 
He previously had had teaching and 
administrative school posts in New York 
and Massachusetts. 

From 1908 to 1934, he was superin- 
tendent of the Northwest School District in 
Hartford. He once said, "I had a good 
elementary supervisor who thought we 
should have special classes for retarded 
children, the slower learners. We talked 
about it, and decided it was a good 
suggestion. Later we designed special 
classes for better students, for they were 
getting into mischief in regular classes. 
They didn't have to study very hard to 
keep up." 

After district reorganization in 1934, 
he was made principal of Northwest Junior 
High School which, after his retirement 
in 1937, was named Jones Junior High 
in his honor. 

Mr. Jones expressed pride for his Phi 
Beta Kappa key and his stint as a Brown 
football tackle on a team managed by 
John D. Rockefeller, Jr. '97. He saw 
education grow "from a more or less 
formula to a living thing," and later, 
when retired, he remarked that "the 
outstanding change that has come about 
during my years in Hartford is that 
education has become more than per- 
functory. Attending school is now more 
enjoyable and the educational program 
is more efficient." 

Mr. Jones had been twice married. 
Eva L. Soule became his bride in 1899, and 
she died in 1926. They had three children, 
one of whom is Philip C. Jones '25. In 



1933, he married Harriet Nelson, who had 
been employed as a nurse at the Northwest 
School in Hartford. 

He was known for his gentle nature, 
great understanding and high skill. He 
nevertheless maintained discipline and 
held the respect of teachers and pupils 
alike. He also found time to have a part 
in many worthy causes: he was a pioneer 
in Boy Scout work, once served as 
Scoutmaster for a dozen years, and held 
the Sih'er Beaver Award, scouting's 
highest honor for adults. For half a century 
he had conducted Sunday School classes 
at the Wethersfield State Prison. 

Almost 60 years ago he joined with 
others to organize the Connecticut Valley 
Brown Club. He also helped form the 
Hartford Brown Club and served as its 
first president. He had been one of its 
strongest supporters ever since. 

AmotTg organizations in which he had 
been active are the National Society for the 
Study of Education, National Education 
Association, the New England Superin- 
tendents Association and the National 
Department of Superintendents. He also 
was an honorary member of the Hartford 
Principals' Organization and the 
Connecticut Association of Public 
School Superintendents. 

His widow, Harriet Nelson, survives. 
His son Philip C. Jones '25, lives at 1765 
Griffith Park Blvd., Los Angeles.

CurtDucasseithe 
new' curriculum 
in the 1940s 



Dr. Curt John Ducasse, emeritus 
professor of philosophy at Brown and an 
international figure in philosophical circles, 
died Sept. 3, after a prolonged illness. 
He was 88 years old. 

Although he retired in 1958, he retained 
his office on the third floor of Maxcy 
Hall. Until last fall, he visited that office 
almost every afternoon to attend to 
correspondence and to participate in the 
life of the department. He remained a 
familiar figure briskly walking across the 
campus, usually dressed, as one of his 
colleagues described it, "in a symphony 
of blues." 

Prof. Ducasse came to Brown as an 
associate professor of philosophy in 1924. 
He was appointed a full professor in 
1929, and from 1930 to 1951 he served as 
chairman of the department. Since 1932, 
he had held the Romeo Elton Professorship 
of Natural Theology. In 1961, Brown 
bestowed upon him the honorary degree 
of doctor of literature. 

In a memorial delivered to the faculty 
in October, Professor Vincent Tomas, a 
colleague of long standing, said of 
Dr. Ducasse: 

"The influence he exerted in manifold 
ways on all fields of philosophy may be 
suggested by mentioning some of the offices 
he held. He was chairman of the committee 
which founded the Association of Symbolic 
Logic and for three years he was its 
president. He was president of the American 
Society for Aesthetics, president for four 
years of the Philosophy of Science 
Association, and president of the eastern 
division of the American Philosophical 



Association. In 1949 he delivered the Paul 
Cams Lectures before the American 
Philosophical Association, a series which 
resulted in his great book, Nature, Mind, 
and Death, published in 1951." 



The curriculum then was as striking 
as the one designed last spring.

The diversity of Dr. Ducasse's interests 
is suggested by the titles of some of his 
books, which brought hitti wide recognition. 
In 1924, he published Causation and Types 
of Necessity, in 1930 The Philosophy of 
Art, and, in 1951, Nature, Mind and Death, 
the book which resulted in a joint meeting 
of the western and Pacific divisions of 
the American Philosophical Association. 

Prof. Ducasse was a distinguished 
philosopher in the analytic tradition. All of 
his writings, no matter how technical, are 
distinguished by their remarkable lucidity. 
He labored hard to obtain this quality, for 
with him precision and clarity in the 
expression of thought and argument were 
points of professional honor. 

Shortly after World War 11, Dr. 
Ducasse headed a committee which issued 
the Ducasse Report on Curriculum. This 
report led to the adoption of the "new 
curriculum," representing as thorough a 
shake-up of the undergraduate curriculum 
as the one which took place at Brown 
last spring. 

Prof. Ducasse loved animals, especially 
cats. For more than 21 years he and his 
wife, Mabel, were devoted slaves to 
Chichihoo, a Siamese cat who liked to 
curl himself around Prof. Ducasse's neck to 
form a living fur collar. The chipmunks 
in his garden would take peanuts from his 
hand or steal them from his pocket. 

Dr. Ducasse was born in Angouleme, 
France, on July 7, 1881. His father was a sea 
captain and his mother was the daughter 
of a German painter. He came to this 
country in the early 1900's, earning his 
bachelor of arts degree magna cum laude 
in philosophy in 1908 from the University 
of Washington. He took his master's from 
the same school the next year and then 
earned his doctorate from Harvard in 1912. 
Prior to coming to Brown in 1924, he held 
the successive posts of assistant professor 
and associate professor of philosophy at 
the University of Washington. 

He is survived by his second wife, the 
former Mabel Lisle, whom he married in 
1921. She resides at 48 Aberdeen Rd., 
East Providence.
