His philosophy on the subject appeared in a recent issue of the weekly Massachusetts newspaper, the Concord Pa- tnot. "I just can't believe all those stories about people retiring and finding nothing to do," he said. "When you have a job to go to every day, you can't afford the time to do the things around the house you'd like to do. Retirement is the time to do what you please, when you please, and at your own pace. There's no pressure on vou to fly across the country at a moment's notice. You make your own decisions and don't have to wait for orders from anybody." Jim retired in 1972 from his position as electronic scientist at the Cambridge Research Center. During World War II, as a member of the Army Signal Corps, he was assigned to the Search Light Battalion in North London, where he was schooled in the then infant science of radar. Eventually, he helped pioneer the radar guidance system that electronically con- trolled the flight of drone aircraft. In 1946, when MIT's radiation laboratories merged with Harvard's and formed the Air Force Cambridge Research, Jim was asked to join and work on upper air instrumentation. Starting with the old German V-2 rockets, Jim and his staff continued the exploration of space, measuring the ionosphere for ozone, plasma, radio waves, etc. They put fruit flies and monkeys into the stratosphere to test their adaptability to space, which was the preliminary data needed to put a man on the moon. "People sometimes ask what happens to all the knowledge that a man acquires in a lifetime," Jim says. "I'll tell you what hap- pens. The young people with their vitality will absorb this knowledge in a short time and build on it with their own knowledge." Jim's retirement time has been taken up with sailing his Sandpiper up and down the New England coast, tending a garden, making shpcovers, and doing substitute teaching at Concord High. 'Tf you don't likeany of your retirement activities," Jim adds, "the beauty part is that vou can just go on to something else." Jim and his wife, Barbara, have a daughter, Heidi, who is at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, N.H. ^^"1 Joseph W.

Frances has served as sec retary, vice-president, and president of the book publishing house which she helped ' form. "The purpose of the firm — to puhlisJ sound scholarly works in small editions — has not faltered over the years," she says. Frances and her husband plan to retire in 1980 to their home in New Hampshire, where, she says, she just might start another publishing venture. /\^ Barbara Emerson, a retired school ^X^ teacher, is now living in Floral City, Fla.

Joseph R. Weisherger, presiding justice of j the Rhode Island Superior Court, was awarded an honorary degree of doctor of humane letters by Bryant College last spring. /M-A. Raymond M. Durfee, one of only TX jt five Republicans in the fifty- member Rhode Island Senate, has become the official Senate chaplain, providing the daily invocation with zest and zing. Accord- ing to a Paiotucket Times story, in a typical |i prayer the Friday before Valentine's Day, j Ray called upon the Lord to "help us com- I municate our love and affection, and may we wrap the box of candy with tenderness." j Prayers come as nahjrally to Ray as the Sun- j day school sermons he has delivered weekly ' for fifteen years at St. David's on the Hill ! Episcopal Church. Prior to his marriage to an ' Episcopalian, Ray, a hardware-store owner ' in Cranston, taught Baptist Sunday school ! for ten years. At one time in the Rhode Island • Senate, an aide in the office of the lieutenant, governor would type up prayers on index cards to inspire tongue-tied senators, most of i whom "felt more comfortable stumping for votes than beseeching for blessings," accord- ing to thePaiotucket Times. Ray changed all that one day when he decided to wing his prayer. He told the paper that there have been days when his prayers are more up to date than the latest news report. "I once prayed for the safety of firemen at a big fire that most people in the Senate didn't know was raging," he said. One colleague suggested with tongue in cheek that Ray would have to expand his duties and start hearing confessions. "If that happens," another colleague replied, "the Senate will have to go into recess for a week." Walter D. Kelly, Jr., and his wife, Jean Wliitehead Kelly '45, residents of Wellesley, Mass., have become adept at packing their bags. Walter, a consultant/technical manager with Polaroid, dealing mainly in the chemical field, travels a great deal to such places as Japan, Russia, and Finland, as well as to all parts of the United States. Jean is active in the communitv', serving as a town meeting member since 1964 and putting in two terms on the school committee. Milton E.

Tinkham '09, who at age 97 is me of Brown's oldest living alumni, has one nain ambition in life. "In my own small vay, " he says, "1 want to know that I have eft something to posterity." Through his re- ent generosity to Brown, "Tink" has done ust that. For many years, he has been a major lonor to BrovkTi's deferred giving program, ^st spring, when he moved from his home the Kent County Nursing Home in East jreenwich, Rhode Island, Tink gave the (rown Faculty Club some prized furniture hat he had hand-carved in his younger days: 1 circular dining table, a chess table with a narble top, a highboy, four chairs, and a oveseat. But his most significant donation Afas an extensive collection of Indian artifacts 5iven to Brown's Haffenreffer Museum in 3ristol (page 26). In addition to dozens of Indian ar- ■Qwheads, the Tinkham collection includes Tagments of clay pottery, a soapstone bowl jf the Archaic period, net sinkers used by Indian fishermen, small pendants carved ■'rom soapstone, stone pipes, and such 3eriod pieces as gun flints and square-cut lails. "I started collecting arrowheads and Dther artifacts when 1 was just a boy," Tink says, "and didn't stop for better than fifty years. The bulk of my collection came from my years as a civil engineer vvith Norcross Brothers of Boston, National Appraisal Zompany, and the Rhode Island State Board of Roads. Of course, many people collect ar- tifacts and then throw them in a drawer or up in the attic. 1 went the extra step. 1 identified them, labeled them, and then built my own special carrying cases to hold all the items." According to graduate proctor Charles Diters of Brown's anthropology department, the Tinkham material is considered a sig- nificant addihon to Haffenreffer's already ex- tensive Indian collection. "The important — ?ven amazing — thing is that all the better pieces he gave to us are recorded with fairly precise information on where he found them, and when," Diters says. "This may be a result of his training as a civil engineer and his habit of taking detailed notes." Ellen Eaton Wilson '51, education coor- dinator at Haffenreffer, cites a specific use for the Tinkham material. "Much of it is already being used in the study class at the archaeo- logical labs where students may not be familiar with this type of stone and the tech- niques of flaking. Being able to handle this material instead of just reading about it is a much better learning tool. Tink is a delightful man and we're so glad he remembered Brown." Selwyn G. Tinkham was bom Novem- ber 2, 1880, on Cape Cod. When Tink was a young boy, his father died, the family ran into financial difficulties, and an effort was made to place Tink at Thompson's Academy, a private school for poor boys on Thomp- son's Island in Boston Harbor. "I remember that another boy and I were in competition for the last spot in the class," Tink says. "The doctor looked at his teeth and then he looked at mine. Then turning to me he said, 'This bov's got better teeth. We'll take him.' 1 was twelve at the time. 1 never went home again. "Thompson's Academy was a school for indigent boys who had lost their mother or father, or both. The school was run by mil- lionaires, and if the place ended $50,000 in the red at the end of the year these men just got together and wrote it off. "1 received a good education at Thomp- son's Academy," Tinkham adds. "1 also learned how to use various tools there and I've been carving much of my own furniture ever since. 1 remember one winter some gentleman donated 200 toboggans to the school, almost one for every boy. We may not have had much money but we sure had lots of fun that winter sliding down the hills and across the ponds. That's so long ago — Selwyn G. Tinkham '09. but the memory is quite vivid." Some years after leaving the Academy, Tink had an opportunity to land a good job in Plymouth, Massachusetts. "It came down to two of us," he says, "but I lost out. 1 didn't take too kindly to the decision so I went to the head man and asked why he passed me up. 'Well,' he said, 'the other lad has a better education than you do.' 1 determined right then and there that this would never happen to me again. 1 decided 1 was going to col- lege." When Tink went shopping around for a college he was already twenty-five years old, an age when most men were getting started in a profession. He selected Brown because it was near his home and was small enough to afford a degree of individuality. Tink was a member of the 1906 football team, which defeated Dartmouth in the fa- mous "23-Skidoo" game at Hampden Park, Springfield, Massachusetts. 'Tn those days thirteen was an unlucky number but so was twenty-three," he says, his brown eyes danc- ing as he recalls the moment. "When we beat them 23-0, the fellas figiired that broke the jinx and so they said, '23-Skidoo.' 1 was a halfback on that team but not the starter. The man ahead of me was Johnny Mayhew, who was put on the AU-American first team by Walter Camp that year." One of the few personal possessions Tink has with him at the nursing home is a gold football from that Dartmouth game, suitably inscribed with his name and the score. Another possession he keeps in his room is a pen and ink drawing of the Ger- man poet Schiller. "1 made this for my mother when 1 was in college," he says. "1 didn't have any money so 1 gave her this drawing for Christmas." During his career as a civil engineer, Tink made good money, invested wisely in the market (he still follows the stock market daily), and has been quite comfortable financially. "1 like to tell people that I saved a fortune by going sixty years without a visit to the doctor," he says. "But 1 have to chalk that up more to good luck than good manage- ment." Tink talks about the past with affection, but he doesn't dwell there. He's too busy in the present, checking the daily stock market reports and keeping his eyes open for medi- cal reviews he can pass on to his doctors. "1 like to help them out whenever 1 can," he says, chuckling. "1 may have lost some of my vigor the last few years, but 1 still have young ideas." I-B. 43 Steve McClellan: A 'lone eagle' celebrating sixty years of flight As a boy of seven, Stephen A. McClellan '23 witnessed what must have been a su- preme curiosity at the time: the maiden flight of America's first military airplane. The test pilots that day were two brothers named Wright, and the site was what is now Ar- lington National Cemeterv, but was then, ironically enough, a U.S. Cavalry post. Last year, McClellan completed some- thing of a full circle in aviation history by piloting his own plane — a "puddle jumper," he calls it — to Cape Canaveral, Florida, to watch the launching of a com- munications satellite so complex it could hardly have been dreamed of by Wilbur and Orvilie Wright. In between those two sideline glances, Steve McClellan also managed to play his own role in the development of air travel. One of the original "daring young men in their flying machines," he rightly belongs in the glow of this year's celebration of Charles Lindbergh's solo flight across the Atlantic. A member of Canada's Royal Flying Corps at fifteen, a pioneering test pilot for govern- ment and industry in the twenties, and an aeronautical engineer whose expertise helped improve Allied war planes during World War II, McClellan is commemorating a milestone of his own this year: sixty years of flight. Today, however, walking with his three wire-haired dachshunds across an expanse of Virginia land called Happy Valley Farm, Steve McClellan doesn't seem quite restive enough to have done all the derring-do one knows he did: parachute from a wingless bi- plane into the Potomac River, fly in supplies to troops fighting jungle guerrillas in moun- tainous Nicaragua, push his endurance to the black-out stage in quest of the world's record for altitude flying. And yet, as the pair of aviator's wings he sometimes wears in the lapel of a natty plaid sportcoat would suggest, he is still every inch the pUot. If the 30,000 miles a year he logs in the puddle jumper don't convince the ob- server of that fact, his spirited anecdotes surely will. The son of globe-hopping parents, McClellan was twelve years old before he had lived in one place for more than a year. His father, George McKinley McClellan '95, who had been the secretary to the first Con- gressional representative frcim the territory of Hawaii and had used that post to urge the development of Pearl Harbor as a major U.S. seaport, was, during Steve's youth, the "counselor for special causes " (read "inter- national lobbvist") for the planters of the is- lands. Steve, who was bom in Honolulu when it was a lush paradise without neon, grew to become more comfortable with ocean-crossing than with the usual child- hood pursuits. "I was used to receiving dinner guests and other adult stupidities," he says now, "but I didn't know much about playing around with my own peers." His lack of ease with other children, he recalls, became acutely embarrassing when the family settled down in Seattle, Washing- ton, after his father's heart attack, and Steve had to cope with his utter lack of knowledge about the naHonal pastime. The razzing he took from baseball-happy classmates made him that much fonder of his own familiar Continental sport, rugby. (Earlier this year he donated the seed money for a rugby play- ing field at Brown.) Though he considers his father to have been "a real sharp guy," Steve admits that the older McClellan was something of a dis- ciplinarian. When Seattle school officials de- cided on the basis of tests that Steve was qualified by prior tutoring to become a high- school graduate at fourteen, for example, the father offered a somewhat stricter assess- ment of his son's achievements. "Among your innumerable deficiencies," he decreed, "is a lack of knowledge as to how many pennies are in a dollar — and where they come from." To earn his keep, Steve became a laborer in a Seattle shipyard at fourteen. A deceptively modest man at seventy- five, McClellan delights in recalling his fa- ther's favorite counsel: "Son, as long as you weren't born bright, it is very, very fortunate you were bom lucky." That, says Steve McClellan, is the story of his life. He looks upon the initiation of his flying career, for instance, as a product of good luck well exercised. On his fifteenth birthday, he had treated himself to an overnight boat trip to Victoria, British Columbia, and had hap- pened to encounter three Americans on their way to sign up with the Royal Hying Corps. The opportunity seemed too good to pass up, so he simply joined them. Luckily for his ambitions, his height was exceptional for a boy of fifteen, and he was accepted. The only tense moment in the recruiting office, in fact, came when he was asked for a home ad- dress. Knowing no street addresses in Victoria, he chose what he thought was a small town in Canada and confidently blurted out, "Alberta, Saskatchewan." The recruiting sergeant never blinked an eyelash. Life for World War I pilots was not the adventure many young men had dreamed of, McClellan soon discovered. Bight train- ing was rugged, in many cases ill-conceived, and always full of hazard. "The British phi- losophy was that pilots were born, not made," he says now. "The ground school consisted of one legal-sized piece of paper, single-spaced. If you could repeat it, parrot- like, you passed." Losses in training were severe, he says, with pilots encouraged to do "stupid things" because of the stress that was placed on offensive tactics. "The only thing that kept people going was the fact tha they were more afraid of being afraid than of what they were doing," McClellan says. Before he could see any combat, McClel- lan was sent back to the States, along with other expatriate fliers. With the United State; finally embroiled in the war to end all wars their services were needed in building a U "^ air force. The choice of service was left to each cadet, and McClellan, using his reason ing instead of relying on luck, chose the Marines. He figured that, being a small outfit, the Marine Corps would offer him a command. He was right. "With all my vast experience," he says, tongue-in-cheek, "I was put in charge of flight training." Thu>, the teenage officer spent the remainder of the war in Hoboken, New Jersey, trying to "cor- rect the deficiencies" of the British flight program. He later rose to therankof beuten- ant colonel in the Marine Corps. During his years as an engineering stri- dent at Brown, McClellan swore off flying altogether. But it took him little time after graduation to pick up his passion once mou — first as an avocation, later as a rather risk\' vocation. Eventually, he became a test pilot, and by 1925 was chief test pilot for the US, Bureau of Standards in Washington, D.C One of a new breed of test pilot that emerged , after the war, McClellan helped to transform; that profession from one of sheer endurance to one that relied upon aerodynamics as well as upon courage. In the early days of flight, he explains, test-pUoting had been virtually a case of "strapping the airplane to your fanny and pouring the coal to it. If it flew, it flew." Determining why it flew and how to make it fly better were questions left to men of the twenties and thirties who, like McClellan, had the skills of both pilot and engineer. This is not to say that the job was dull by popular standards, however. Yellowed newspaper dippings attest to the fact that Steve McClellan, as a young test pilot, had his share of death-defying escapades. In addition to his Nicaraguan adventures (land- ing strips there were little more than 350 feet long and surrounded by mountain peaks) and his altitude-endurance test that went awry, McClellan gained for himself the "dubious distinction" of making the first terminal velocity dive test for the U.S. Navy in a single-seated biplane fighter. Terminal velocity is the point at which wind resistance cannot be overcome by increased speed. To achieve terminal velocity the plane must be almost vertical. McCleUan's task, in this pre- carious position, was to watch for signs of rippling in the materials the plane was made of. Unfortunately, one of the first stress signs during this particular test was the loss of wings, tail, and other essentials. Somewhere above the Washington Monument, he found himself fighting the pressure of a 300-mile- an-hour wind force, which threatened to pin him helpless against the back of his seat. 44 iVith some effort — and a bit of his fabled f'^ood luck — he was able to lift himself just enough to be whipped out of the descending ,':raft bv the wind. He then headed toward :he Potomac — a course that worried him ilightlv on his wav down because of the re- rent drowning deaths of hvo aviator-friends ,vho had been trapped under their para- ;hutes. Despite the apprehensions, all went well m McClellan's one and only parachute ump. He lost a button off his vest, scratched lis nose, and was late for a dinner date due 111 the Navy's tardv efforts to fetch him from thr drink, but the exploit assured him mem- t>tr>hip in the Caterpillar Club — an exclu- si\ I' group of aviators of that time, including , Undbergh, who had been forced to jump from their planes to save their lives. As time went by, McClellan's aircraft savvy went more and more into business He had working associations with some of the emerging giants of the industry — Pratt & Whitney, United Aircraft, Fairchild — before striking out on his own to create in 1939 the company that would consume the larger portion of his energy for the next twenty-six years. Specialties, Inc. — he named it to show "a broad spectrum of capability and a lack of interest in run-of-the-mill problems" — was a research and development company whose various distinctions included being named the first recipient of the Naval Ordnance Award after World War II. The I honor recognized the company's technical improvements to aircraft instrumentation, particularly bomb sights. At first Specialties was a Long Island firm. But after the bomb dropped on IHiroshima, its president decided to move. He picked up a compass and drew concentric circles representing 100-mile radii (the extent of radiation danger from an A-bomb at that time) around the largest cities on the eastern seaboard. Charlottesville, Virginia, as it hap- pened, was just outside all the circles and had the extra advantage of being surrounded by protective mountains. The company was moved, lock, stock, and barrel. Life in the shadow of the Blue Ridge by no means slowed the pace of the aviator- tumed-businessman. He quickly set out to persuade the sleepy college and farming community to build an airport, and even went so far as to pick out the most desirable site, establishing his company and building his home dose by. (The airport was built — where Steve McClellan thought it should be — in the early fifties.) In 1950, McClellan was named president of the Charlottesville-based Institute of Textile Technology, which con- ducts basic research for textile mills and of- fers special graduate work. And in 1962, he was named to the U.S. Department of De- fense Industry Advisory Council. The list of McClellan's business interests looked, by the sixties, like a page from a stockbroker's tip sheet. In addition to the presidency of Specialties, Inc., he was presi- dent and director of Automation, Inc., a pat- ent and real-estate holding company; presi- dent and director of Dominion Equipment Rental and Supply Company, an equipment financing company; director of Moulded In- sulation Company of Philadelphia; and chief executive officer of Lif-O-Gen, Inc., a firm which manufactures portable containers of medical gases sold in drug stores. But the thing that has most distin- guished the life of Steve McClellan is not his business success. It is, rather, an intangible element contributing to all of his accom- plishments: his keen interest in and concern for people. In a 1939 article he wrote at the request of the Brown Daily Herald, he advised students interested in aviation as a career to leam, in addition to economics and engineer- ing, something about human nature. He has been a lifelong student of the subject himself — still learning, still unable to learn enough. Steve McClellan , his bonnet, ami his "puddle jumper." Communication particularly absorbs him. "What's the use of living, if you can't communicate with people?" he asks. To bridge the distance between friends and his Earlysville, Virginia, home, he not only flies more than 200 hours each year and tenders countless invitations to Happy Valley Farm, but also writes letters — prodigiously. The ease and the seriousness with which he ap- proaches the lost art of letter-writing, in fact, makes one wonder whether a frustrated writer may lurk behind the exploits of the aviator. McClellan shrugs off the suggestion, but continues to spend a good portion of his time writing epigrams and little assorted bits of wit he calls "wry wisdom." Around his farm and office can be found more than 4,000 three-by-five index cards bearing such definitions as "Radical; a liberal exceeding the speed limit," "Jalopy: a car that passeth nothing but understanding," and "Talking to yourself: boring from within," as well as such maxims as "Knowledge, like timber, should never be used until seasoned." The writing exercise is a matter of "persistence, rather than brilliance," McClellan readily concedes. "The intriguing part is setting something down on paper and, in the proc- ess, forcing yourself — as painful as it is — to think." A trustee emeritus of the Brown Corpo- ration (he is also a former trustee of Adelphi College), McClellan can be seen at almost all important occasions in the life of the Univer- sity, wearing the hat that has become his trademark: a nifty brown tam-o'-shanter adorned with a Brown University emblem. He has recently been trying to market the headgear, which he calls a "bonnet," as the official hat for the men of reunion classes of fifty years or more. During this year's pro- cession to the Baptist Meeting House, it was evident that he had made several converts. When not fiercely involved in one proj- ect or another, however, McClellan is more than content to oversee the roamings of his three pint-sized but near-human canines, who set a brisk pace for their master's red jeep when he takes up the task of clearing his Virginia land. The little dachshunds are the "real owners" of Happy Valley Farm, accord- ing to their master. But on occasion, they allow Steve and his v\ife to entertain visitors. The tolerance is greatly appreciated by McClellan, who, after spending a good por- tion of his life as a lone eagle, understands the value of human companionship aU the more.

Carlin Kitidilien, Lyme, Conn., feels that too many high school students select their college for all the wrong reasons — and he speaks from experience. His rationale for choosing Brown was that he would be able to watch all the Brown- Yale football games free for four years. In retrospect, he says, he's pleased with his choice, and he acimits that there were other considerahons. But he claims that this example isn't as far-fetched as it might seem. A major result of the con- fusion in selecting the right college is that too many students pay too much for far too little, therebv creating a burden for their families as well as for themselves. Based on this pre- mise, Carlin wrote a book entitled Cutting College Costs. On the back cover of the book, which is illustrated bv his wife, Charlotte, is a caricature of him with the caption: "I know whereof I speak, friend."

He's continued on page 50 In both his work and his play, Wallace Holbrook needs good feet Wallace Holbrook '50 carries a small cai in his wallet — it is a matter of some pride - that proclaims, in elegant French, that he ib member in good standing of the French Baseball league. In short, he is "un basebal leur." Holbrook plays left field or first base on the U.S. Marines' baseball team in Paris The league has five teams and the season runs from April to July. When he's not playing baseball, Hol- brook reports to the American Embassy in Paris. As assistant commercial attache for high technology, Holbrook acts as a sort of sophisticated salesman: he greases the skid for American products to enter, and do \\e. in, the French market. "1 go out just like a salesman," Holbrook said during an inter- view last spring. "I knock on doors and ^a\ 'Would vou like to carry American produ^tb and so on. You have to have good feet and vou have to speak French." The United States sells France approxi- mately $3 billion worth of goods ever\' \ear Holbrook explained. "That's total goods They're one oi our biggest customers — fourth or fifth." High technology, Holbrimk beat in the commercial section, encompa^^i electronics components, computers, prodiu tion equipment, telecommunications, office equipment and office furniture, optics and lasers. "There's a tradition in America of a split between business and government Holbrook said, "whereas in Europe it's \ l r natural for businessmen to come to the Em bassy when they need help." One way Holbrook might help, for example, is to locate an agent in France for a American company. "In most cases the agei would not only take orders for a product — . line of computers, say — but he would also stock it and maintain it. We also help Ameri can firms or agents when decisions don't seem to be cciming from the French govern- ment," Holbrook said (diplomatically). "Jus the fact that we inquire — sort of like a parei saying, 'Uh, how are you coming with wiui homework?' — helps. It usually moves the file up a bit." | Holbrook also compiles an annual repo: on electronics production in France and he evaluates the market in the hopes of attract ing American firms to come and participate in trade shows. Trade shows aie a much more significant forum for business in Europe than thev seem to be in the U.S. Hundreds of firms gather to show their goods, and buyers come from all over to lee and compare. The biggest electronics com ponents show in Europe is held annuall\- in 48 'aris. This year 265 American firms exhibited here. Similarly, Holbrook talks up American 'rade conferences to European businessmen, nd in June 1976 he accompanied ninety •rench data-processing specialists to the Na- ional Computer Conference in New York rity Last Ma\' he was trying to stir up in- erest in a computer conference to be held in )allas in June and he arranged a show featur- 'ng computers at the U.S. Trade Center in 'aris. "Frankly," he said, "it's a lot harder to ecruit people to go to Dallas than the East least." A World War II veteran with three years' ervice, Holbrook entered Brown in the late 940s and became one of the first interna- ional relations majors. "Actually 1 was a isych major and then I switched," Holbrciok •xplained. "All mv friends were interested in >olitical science, and the psychology faculty eemed only to be interested in behaviorism ind that didn't appeal to me. I wanted to do ■omething concrete, something practical." dolbrook spent a postgraduate year studying it Columbia, but bolted when the State De- partment offered him a )ob. "$3,500 a year .eemed like such a marvelous sum of money it the time 1 took it." Holbrook, a gentle man with a gentle augh, feels that as a commercial officer in the "oreign Service he is indeed doing some- hing concrete. "You're working with busi- lessmen who aredom^ things," he said. You're really helping them to accomplish 'Kings." ' The accomplishment Holbrook seemed Proudest of, however (he couldn't stop )eaming), was the recent birth of his first :hild, Mark Lincoln Holbrook. "We had to egister him within three days after his birth it the city hall of Neuilly," he said, "so he las a birth certificate but it's in French. 1 coked over it very carefully to see that hey'd gotten everything spelled right —Holbrook is not easy for the French and Lincoln's even more difficult. Then I took it t .iVai/ace Holbrook and Ins !N basket. home and my wife, Sonia, said, 'Great, they spelled Helsinki wrong.' " Holbrook and his wife, who is Finnish, were married in 1976. He had met her while serving as commercial attache at the Embassy in Helsinki. "I guess I have a habit of marry- ing abroad," Holbrook smiled, recalling that he'd met his first wife while serving as vice- consul in Zagreb, Yugoslavia. The State De- partment did not look kindly on Holbrook's marriage to a Yugoslav, however, and he almost had to leave the Foreign Service then. He managed to stay on, Holbrook said, only because of "quiet plodding. It's one of the secrets to working in a bureaucracy. If you keep at something long enough you'U achieve your objective." Nevertheless, though Holbrook did remain in the Foreign Service, his duties thereafter shifted to the commercial, rather than the political, section and the course of his career, he felt, was altered. Zagreb had been Holbrook's first over- seas post, after having spent a year and a half at the State Department's Bureau of Euro- pean Affairs (that first, seductive offer) and several more vears as the Turkish desk officer in Washington, where he had to give daily briefings on events in Turkey and their sig- nificance. Following two years in Zagreb, where Holbrook had learned to speak Serbo- Croatian, he was transferred to New Delhi and became a consular officer in the Embassy there. "You have to become an amateur un- dertaker when someone dies in India," he said. "Indians have the body burned because those are the onlv facilities that they have. So if someone wants the body sent home to America, as they usually do, you have to ar- range to have the body embalmed by a physician and you have to find a carpenter to build a coffin, and arrange some way to preserve the ashes if they're cremated be- cause the Indians throw their ashes into the river." Two years later, in 1960, Holbrook moved to Glasgow, Scotland, as deputy principal officer handling economic, com- mercial, and labor affairs at the Consulate General. "The Scottish trade union confer- ence was fairly leffist," Holbrook recalled, "and following the Scottish labor movement was very interesting. Their decisions were often not in line with American policy. Yet," Holbrook said, "it's much easier for an American businessman to play golf with a Scottish trade union leader than for a British man to do so." After four years in Glasgow Holbrook was assigned as commercial attache to the capital and chief port of the Ivory Coast. "Abidjan is becoming more and more of a regional center in Africa," Holbrook said. "They're developing self-sufficiency in sugar plantations. The climate is just about the same all year round — the sun rises at six in the morning and sets at about six in the eve- ning and after a year of that you wished it would snow or change or something. But," he added, "Africa is more pleasant than Washington in July." That statement stems, perhaps, from Holbrook's next assignment, for he spent the following five years in Washington, D.C. — two years with the State Department in the Office of East-West Trade, six months study- ing economics at the Foreign Service Insti- tute, and then to the Department of Com- merce as desk officer for Ghana and the Ivory Coast. He left Washington in 1972 for Hel- sinki. "Finnish wasn't required for the job," Holbrook said, "but I studied it for six months and I can say that Finnish is a harder language than Serbo-Croatian.

"It's a different way of thinking." As commercial attache — the only one at the Embassy in Helsinki — Holbrook was literally a one-man band. "One day you're a chemist and the next day you're in textiles and the next you're in telecommunications." Holbrook's wife, who speaks Finnish, Swedish, and English, was working at the Embassy when they met. Both served as control officers for Betty and Jack Ford when they accompanied the President to Finland for the signing of the Helsinki Pact. "My wife served as the liaison between Finnish poUce and the Secret Service and rode in the lead car," Holbrook said. "We both got signed pictures from Mrs. Ford. That's the nice kind of thing that happens in the State Depart- ment that would never happen if you were a middle-level person at home." For Holbrook, one of the high points of being in Finland was the chance to visit Mos- cow several times. "I returned by train from Moscow to Helsinki once," he recounted, "and from midnight to 3 a.m. I talked with a Russian man who spoke English, but you have to wonder when you're alone in a com- partment and the only other guy speaks English. ..." As for the Foreign Service, Holbrook has found it fascinating and stimulating and hard w-ork: "In twenty years I've been trying to get my IN box completely clean and I've never succeeded." Holbrook reflected a moment. "You can really become friends with people in foreign countries and establish lasting re- lationships. You get to understand your own country better — its strengths, its weakness- es. You also begin to realize there's more than one country on the planet. One-sided solutions are often not lasting."

Judith Andreios Green, Farmington, Maine, is supervisor of a reading clinic at the University of Maine at Farmington. Within the next year she hopes to have a book, Vie Man Who Stopfied Time, published by James- town Publishers in Providence. Stei! a publica- tion of substance. "The Cancer Center is people and ideas," she says, "and theBu//i>- tin has to reflect both." As such, she defines one of its main purposes as "to make the people in cancer research come across as human beings — in other words, to human- ize medicine." One of the sidelights of her job is to humanize medicine in a different way — by handling personal inquiries from people who call the Cancer Center in search of informa- tion, advice, support, or referrals. "Many people simplv don't know where to turn," she says. "1 listen to them, counsel them, try to teach them how to deal with doctors. People are so scared of doctors, even their own, and we have to talk them out of that." Cancer, she points out, is the second leading cause of death in this country after heart dis- ease, with 665,000 new cases each year and a mortality rate of 350,000 per year. "There's been a sharp increase in incidence the last few years, and last year alone there was a 4 percent increase, which is reaUy scary," she says. But when she talks about the vast "cancer establishment," she concedes wryly that "there may be more people living off cancer than dying from it." Her job at the Cancer Center consumes about 60 percent of her working hours, but the other 40 percent could hardly be counted as leisure time: recently, she has been col- laborating with her husband on a research project on the history of U.S. cancer-control programs, of which Lester is the principal in- vestigator. "I could have been the project di-' rector, but 1 felt it would have been too time-consuming," Devra says. "So I decided just to be one of the research writers. As it was, I ended up doing 80 percent of the in- terviews and wrote half the book anyway." The project wound down last winter before the Breslows left on their sabbahcal, and they're hoping that the book wUl be pub- lished before the end of the year. Reflecting on her partnership with her husband, Devra describes herself as a sort of guardian of their personal life as well as Les- ter's professional colleague. Their public life is "very public," she says, and they need a very private "other" life to counterbalance that. They live in an elegant contemporary hciuse tucked among the canyon walls in what Devra refers to as the "proletarian" section of Bel Air (though a visitor would hardly choose that term to describe the neighborhood). Here, Devra is in charge — she handles all their personal and household affairs — and very much in her element. If "Lester's expectations are unending," as she says, so are her talents and energies; a post- script to her aimculum vita describes her as "a highlv proficient color photographer, especially in relation to travel ... a collector of graphics, an exceptional cook, and . . . knowledgeable about handicrafts, being a needlepoint craftswoman herself." She and Lester are both similar enough and different enough that "we maximize each other's competencies." Perhaps the best illustration of that, Devra says, is in the way their pro- fessional careers have complemented each other: "My husband has given me all these opportunities — but I've seized them and known what to do with them." /.P. 51 Republic of Tanzania.

But landing that job meant bucking enturies of Jewish tradition. This particular Iraduate came to Providence as a Pem- roker, and is now the nation's third woman ibbi — the only one who is also a Hillel irector. After her first year running the Univer- h' of Southern California branch of Hillel, aura Geller '71 finds herself a natural for the :osition. "There's nothing inherently mas- uline about the work that I'm doing," she isists. She also has a reply to what some see s the religious arguments against her ioneering efforts. Calling herself "a very utspoken feminist," Laura takes "very se- louslv the notion that all people are created T the image of God, and that any way of miting God is idolatry." 1 While Jewish law and tradition have [xduded women from certain rituals and ob- •gations — such as the performance of rab- dnical duties — Laura points out that the Re- iDim movement, which began in Germany in tie late nineteenth centun,', argues that in- 'ividual Jews can determine what they feel lommanded by. "Jewish law is created by ews over a period of time, which opens up he possibilitv of equality between men and vomen." Women have, indeed, studied in abbinical seminar\' before, although they liad never made it through the intensive live-year program to become ordained (in liart because they were simplv not encour- ged, Laura savs). Thus, she doesn't see exism in Jewish religious tradition as an nherent problem, and she tries to "work tround it and reinterpret it." I Despite the obstacles she had to over- ome before being ordained — such as ac- usations that she was attending Hebrew Jnion College to catch a husband — Laura ladn't spent years mentally arming herself or the battle. In fact, her decision to enroll in I' 1 seminary came as a surprise to her parents, vho, she savs, are not verv religious. Laura herself "was never really into it until I came to Brown." There she almost immediately became what she calls a "chaplains' e^ffice groupie." "Dick Dannenfelser and Charlie Baldwin were models of an active ministry, of what it meant to get people to take ethical responsibility seriously," she says. Academicallv, though, she headed toward creative WTiting, at least until she took Religious Studies 1 to fulfill a distribu- tion requirement. "I loved it; I was just fasci- nated by it," Laura recalls. "I kept studying in the department and before I knew it, 1 had a major in the histor\' of Christian thought." That mav sound like an unlikely begin- ning to a rabbinical career. But for Laura, it was the conflict between academic knowl- edge and her personal beliefs that spurred her to try to understand what being Jewish means. The discovery began in earnest after her sophomore year, when she lived on an Israeli kibbutz "because 1 was interested in alternative life styles." "People there expected me to make a choice behveen being an American and being a Jew , saving that 1 couldn't be both." But Laura found herself unwilling to renounce either identity. That realization marked the beginning of a growing personal commit- ment to Judaism: "1 decided that 1 needed to figure out vs'hat it meant to be Jewish, if it meant so much to me 1 couldn't give it up." Having studied Christianity strictly as an in- tellectual exercise, Laura decided when she returned to Brown to avoid doing the same with her own religion. Hence, thoughts of graduate school were dismissed in favor of seminap,'. She calls herself "really lucky" to have been offered the Hillel post shortly after or- dination. Her desire to work uith college students (which she also did at Vassar and UCLA during her training) is an outgrowth Laura Geller at USC's HiUel house. of her feeling that the "identity crisis" she experienced in college about her relationship to Judaism was a crucial turning point in her own life. "Everybody needs an ethnic, a cul- tural, a religious and spiritual background," she says — and at USC, where many Jewish students have given little thought to Judaism, she provides opportunities for them to explore this aspect of their identity. The USC campus is huge and difficult to organize, so she targets programs at sub- groups. Jewish law and medical students, for example, are asked to consider quesrions of professional ethics from the standpoint of Jewish tradition and teachings, and vice versa. More conventional activities, tailored for those who are "into being Jewish," include classes, counseling, dances, and religious services . The latter are unique in that a rotat- ing pair of students conducts them — in Hebrew and in English — while participants sit informally by a fireplace. Laura's own rabbinical style steers dear of many "priestly functions," such as wearing a robe, which she feels could act to separate her from the congregation. Although she describes southern California as "anti-ethnic," Laura finds Los Angeles an "easier place to be Jewish," since it's less tradition-bound. "This is a very exdt- ing place to be; there's a lot of creative and innovative stuff going on." As the Jewish presence on campus for 10 percent of the USC population (about 2,000 undergraduate and graduate students), part of her job is to "encourage non-Jews and the university as a whole to recognize the contributions Jews have made to American life," Laura says, and she mentions her ambition to organize a Jewish cultural festival featuring authors, comedians, and filmmakers. She also tries to combat negative stereotyping, and to bring attention to oversights that conflict with the needs of Jewish students — such as starting classes on a religious holiday. While the soft-spoken rabbi insists that "a lot of grass-roots consciousness raising is needed in all religious denominations," she points to the many new books and journals which reflect that "Jewish feminism is a real movement." This is supported by statistics; for example, fifteen women are attending Hebrew Union College's New York branch, up from two during Laura's time there. And Laura can see that her own footsteps have guided others, since prospective woman rabbis from all around the nation consult with her — induding a couple from Brown.

In an editorial, the Providence journal said, in part; "In his quiet, almost self-effacing way, Elwood Leonard — "Woody" to his friends — was an extraordinary man. No job for the community was too big to u ndertake. If he considered it important in terms of social benefits, he was always ready to help despite his own considerable duties as head of a suc- cessful industrial enterprise. Woody Leonard believed deeply that a community's strength depends on caring for others, sharing in the material benefits that accrue to some but not to others and fostering social cohesiveness through sincere involvement and nore than I a superficial understanding of the other fel- ; low's problems. . . . His legacy to Rhode Is- ' land was more than the millions of doUars boi, helped to raise. Perhaps even more was tlie ,; spirit and dedication with which he gave j himself to others, rare qualities that soc^etv J can ill afford to lose." j Mr. Leonard was chairman of I'liitf/d Wayl of Southeastern New England in 1969, lead-" ing it to a 20 percent increase, th" largest that year in the United States. He ser^'ed ?s chairman of the 1976 United Aris Fund, di- rector of the Rhode Island Philhanrionic, and president from 1969 to 1974 of the Uiban Coalition of Rhode Island. Woody Leonaid \ was instrumental in forming the Rhode Is- land Baptist Fund and was a trustee of Trin- ity Square Repertory Theater, Roger Williams College, and the Providence \'MCA. He was a member of the state's Bicentennial Commission and of the National Advisory Board on the Tall Ships visit to Newport in the summer of 1976. He was selected Small Businessman of the Year in 1973 and, in 1975, was given the Brotherhood Award of the Rhode Island Conference on Christians and Jews. Deeply involved with Brown, Woody Leonard was chairman of the University's fund drive for the medical program in 1972- | 73, was a regional chairman of the Program for the Seventies, and was chairman of the record-breaking 25th Reunion Gift Commit- tee of his class. At the time of his death, he was actively serving the Brown Fund, help- ing it reach its third consecutive record high this past year.
