Trinity In Books By Frank A. Kelly Jr. 41

P art II T he Twentieth Century

The most thorough use of the College as the back­ground for a novel is in The Mayor of Warwick by Her­bert M. Hopkins. In that book the city of "Wruwick" is Hartford and "St. George's Hall" is Trinity. Mr. Hopkins taught Latin at Trinity from 1903 to 1906, the year the novel appeared. There is undoubtedly more than coin­cidence in the fact that his departure came the same year as the publication date, since in the novel he commented quite freely on the political and social life of Hartford and on the administration of the College.

Mr. Hopkins apparently saw no need to fatigue him­self unnecessarily with inventing places, characters and incidents when all about him lay God's plenty. All that was necessary was to change the names, and there you were. This is an attitude which has helped to enrich the great body of Americru1 libel law, but it has the ad­vantage to today's reader of presenting him with ::1

detailed picture of Hmtford life in the early years of this century. The physical aspect of the City and College are presented with almost photographic exactness. Whether the likeness of the characters is equally exact is more than a reader fifty-five years later can say. But there is no doubt that the 1ayor is intended to be a well­known Democratic political figure of the time. And the incident in which Theodore Roosevelt, during a visit to Hartford, deftly exploited to his own advantage the ri­valry between the Mayor and the Republican organiza­tion follows actual events very closely. Further than that I can only conjecture. If Mr. Hopkins based his plot on actual incidents, the novel's arrival in Hartford must have caused a quiet sensation.

But the chief pleasure in the book for today's Trinity alumnus is the picture it gives of the College in the days when the sound of cow bells came from the direction of Broad Street and the view from over the rocks took in farmlands instead of an indush·ial district.

The year after the appearance of Th e Mayor of War­wick there was published The Pickwick Ladle and Other Collectors Stories by Winfield Scott Moody, '79. The stories, dealing with adventures in antique shops, were vety well received by the critics. The reviewer for Th e

This is the second and final part of Trinity in Books. "Part One - The Nineteenth CentU1·y," was published in the November 1960 issue.

The author, Frank A. Kelly ]r. '41, has long had an in­terest in literature and particularly in literature concerning Trinity College and books by Trinity alumni. ln submit­ting the manuscript he explains that this is not an ex­haustive research but contains much information which is interesting in connection with Trinity and Trinity writers.

Outlook took the occasion to rebuke the spirit of the times. "After reading much of the fiction of the day," he said gravely, "One feels as if in this modest volume he is once more in good society." Ah there, Frank orris and Theodore Dreiserl

Two more authors remain to be considered before we turn to iliat future which undoubtedly confirmed all the worst fea1·s of The Outlook's reviewer. Richard Burton, '83, essayist, poet and critic was, in 1928, President of ilie ew York Drama League. Mr. Burton wrote anum­ber of books, most of which, like Bernard Shaw - The Man and 1he Ma~k (1916), consisted of literary criti­cism. And Philip Everett Curtis, '06, wrote The Ladder: The Story of A Casual Man. This novel, published in 1915, told the story of a young man's rise in the world.

In ilie great clays of ilie 1920's Trinity was represented in Paris by William Bird of ilie Class of 1912. Mr. Bird, at that time a repOtter, spent all his spare money in the operation of the Tlu·ee Mow1tains Press, a one-man pub­lishing house, which introduced such books as Heming­way's ln Our Time and ilie first volume of Ezra Pound's Cantos. In the introduction to the Modern Librmy edi­tion of A Farewell To Arms Ford Madox Ford wrote of his friendship with Bird and Hemingway in the days when all the world was young.

One of the most prolific of Trinity authors has been Richardson Wright, '10, who was, for many years, editor­in-chief of House and Garden. In view of Trinity's re­sponsibility for forming his literary tastes all loyal alumni can take a quiet pride in the fact that Mr. Wright never once permitted to appear in ilie magazine the poem be­ginrting "A garden is a lovesome thing, God wot."

Mr. Wright is the auilior of many engaging books on gardening, Americana and travels in Jamaica and Russ!a.

3

But his most wmsual contribution to literature is evi­denced by a volume entitled Feodor Vladimir Larrovich, An Appreciation of His Life and Works (1918). The title page recites that the book was edited by Mr. Wright and by William George Jordan. Actually their contribu · tion was greater than their native modesty would allow them to admit. Larrovich, his life and his works were all the invention of Messrs. Wright and Jordan.

Scholars Swallow Hoax

The reasons for the hoax are somewhat obscure. Per­haps the two gentlemen wanted to test the reaction time of some of their scholarly acquaintances. If so, the experi­ment was an outstanding success. From the time he first emerged from his creators' fertile imaginations, Larro­vich's reputation grew steadily. The climax was the Larrovich Centenary Celebration held at the Author's Club in 1917. Papers were read by the Russian's two principal supporters and by other members of the club who had joined them in the do-it-yourself approach to the study of Russian literature. The enthusiastic response from guileless scholars encouraged Mr. Wright and his partner to issue the volume mentioned above. It con­tained the papers read at the Centenary Celebration and was copiously illustrated with photographs of Larrovich, his associates and surroundings.

The editors were also thoughtful enough to provide excerpts from the Russian author's work. Here is a sam­ple of his prose, translated by Mr. Wright:

"There are dead if we wish them dead. They live if we wish them to live. They will be far away if we wish them far away. They will be very near if we wish them very near. Love is the secret. Love gives them life. Love brings them close to us. Do you understand?

.. But the Starosta did not understand." The reviewers were not much better off than the Star­

osta, since they gave the book serious reviews. Unfor­tunately some busybody took it upon himself to look into the matter and exposed the hoax. It seems a pity that Mr. Wright couldn't have seen his protege make his way into the encyclopedias and perhaps appear on a Russian postage stamp.

Trinity's most distinguished literary figure of this cen­tury has been Odell Shepard. As Goodwin Professor of English Literature he kindled a love of good writing i.I1 generations of students. And as poet, essayist, novelist and biographer he made his own contributions to Ameri­can literature. In collaboration with his son Willard he wrote two historical novels, Holdfast Gaines and Jenkins's Ear, which had enormous popular success. And Pedlar's Progress, his biography of Bronson Alcott, won the Pu­litzer Prize in 1938. But perhaps his most characteristic books have been The Harvest of A Quiet Eye and Con­llecticut Past and Present, in which he wrote of his adopt­ed state. A native of the Middle West, he has found his Sl)iritual home in Connecticut and has never been happier than when celebrating the beauty of our small towns, now in retreat before the super-highway and the housing de­veloper.

In the 1920's he remarked that "One cannot be too emphatic about the necessity of bad roads, for they are the town's defensive rampart and home-guard, without

4

which it goes very rapidly the melancholy way that nearly all good trout streams have gone, and for the same reason. It is chiefly because the roads have not been quite bad enough that the present eulogy so narrowly misses being an elegy." Since then a series of energetic highway commissioners have been bringing about the result that he feared, and perhaps when he thought he was writing as an essayist he was, in reality, an historian.

Two Trinity graduates to win critical praise have been John B. Burnham, '91, and Charles H. Baker, Jr. , '16. Mr. Burnham was the author of The Rim of Mystery, a travel book published in 1929. In it he describes his travels in Siberian Asia. The New York World said that "as a book offering enlargement to the experience, it must be set down as being as near to perfection as a book of swift h·avel can be." Mr. Baker's novel, Blood of the Lamb, appeared in 1946. A story of the Florida cracker country, it was praised by William DuBois in the New York Times as a "regional novel, written from the inside out, with a fine eye for the sad yet garish color of the Florida scrub."

In 1940 George Blodgett Gilbert of the Class of 1896 was chosen by Harpers from a field of 1000 as the "typi­cal connh·y preacher." His autobiography, Forty Years a Country Preacher, became a best seller. In it he de­scribed a happy and useful life, most of which was devoted to serving several small Episcopalian churches in rural Connecticut. Unfortunately Mr. Gilbert remembered his four years at Trinity as the only dark spot in an other­wise sunny existence. He was a poor country boy and he resented the snubs of his wealthier companions. He had strong opinions about liquor and the usual amount of college drinking was goi.I1g on. On the whole, he felt out of place and was glad to pass to the more congenial atmosphere of Berkeley Divin.ity School. For what com­fort it may be to Trinity alumni, I can only say that Mr. Gilbert attended Amherst for three days and liked it so little he came back to Hartford.

Robert St. John, '25, has distinguished himself as war correspondent, author and lectmer. His two principal subjects, poignantly described from first-hand observation, have been the azi conquest of Yugoslavia and the birth of Israel. At Trinity, Odell Shepard inspired in him an interest in literature and a desire to be a writer. And it was in Hartford that Mr. St. John had his first experience as a war correspondent. The war was a private one, be-

tween President Remsen B. Ogilby of Trinity and Emile Gauvreau, then managing editor of The Hartford Courant and later New York's king of tabloid journalism. As a part-time reporter for the Courant Mr. St. John, in the best tradition of his future profession, became a casualty in the line of duty and was forced to leave Hartford without his degree. The story of his misadventures can be found in This Was My World ( 195.3) , the account of his youth. It makes entertaining reading now, although the experience must have been painful at the time.

His most recent book The Boss is reviewed elsewhere in this issue of The Alumni Magazine.

In The Lighter Vein Mr. St. John's friend and fellow member of the Class

of 1925, George Malcolm-Smith, has adorned several fields of light literature. He has written well-received comic novels, such as Slightly Perfect ( 1941) and The Square Peg ( 1952) . Slightly Perfect was turned into a musical comedy, Are You With It?, which ran for 267 performances at ew York's Century Theatre. And, as far as my research has extended, he has been the first Trinity man to write detective stories. Trouble With Fidelity ( 1957) scored a bull' s eye with Sergeant Cuff, who judges new mysteries for The Saturday Review. ("Fast sprightly yarn sparkles with bright lines; pace beautiful. A lulu.") And with If a Body Meet A Body (1959) the still enthusiastic Sergeant has been joined by Anthony Boucher of the New Y ark Times ("Easy, affable charm") .

The list of Trinity novelists is completed with the names of Robert Muir, '39, and Ethan Ayer, '42. Sprig of Hemlock ( 1957), by Mr. Muir, was an historical novel about Shay's Rebellion. The Saturday Review called it "An impressive first novel." Mr. Ayer's first novel, En­closure ( 1951 ), was a novel of life among the rich. Car­rying all the indicia of a roman aclef, it was commended by The ew Yorker for its "fearlessness." Fearlessness under these circumstances is usually followed by a change of scene on the part of the intrepid author. Since Mr. Ayer is still a resident of South Hamilton, Mass., it may be that the autobiographical natm·e of the book was over­stressed.

Last year William J. Wolf, '40, a member of the faculty of the Episcopal Theological School, published The Al­most Chosen People: A Study of the Religion of Abraham Lincoln. The New York Times found it to be a "fascinat­ing inquiry into a fascinating subject" and predicted that "it may well prove to be the most important contribution to Lincoln exegesis to appear in this sesqukentennial year."

Adolph A. Hoehling, '36, has been one of the most suc­cessful practitioners in the currently popular field of the

documentary history, where an author describes the effect of an historical event on a small group of individuals. Among his books have been The Last Voyage of the Lusitania ( 1957), Lonely Command ( 1958), the story of the German Commerce raider Emden in World War I, and Last Train from Atlanta ( 1959), describing the fall of that city to Sherman's army. Mr. Hoehling's most re­cent book has been The Fierce Lambs, dealing with the first six of Pershing's soldiers to be killed in action. (See the review of this book elsewhere in this issue of The Alumni Magazine. )

Frank Kingston Smith, '41 , is a lawyer who took to fly­ing his own plane as a hobby and has since written several books in praise of his avocation. Week-End Pilot was praised as "a delightful, humorous, fast-moving account of one man's inh·oduction to relaxation by means of the sky." Mr. Smith's most recent book is Flights of Fancy.

Edward Albee, '50, is the author of The Zoo Story, which has enjoyed a long run Off-Broadway. This one-act play has been described bv Richard Watts of the New York Post as "written with .unhackneyed vigor, observing humor, insight and sympathy, vividness and force," and has won a Vernon Rice Memorial Award for outstanding achievement in the Off-Broadway theatre. The Zoo Story has been successfully produced in Germany and has been well received in London, even by The New Statesman which generally discourages all colonial literature and seems to regard critical success in America much like a grand jury indictment.

Having begun this article with one poet, I might end with two others. In the distance from William Cook to Hyam Plutzik, '32, and John Fandel, '48, we can measure the advance from the Trinity College of 1834 to the College of om own day. Mr. Plutzik, twice winner of the Yale Poetry Prize, is the author of Aspects of Proteus and Apples from Shinar. He has enjoyed the favor of his poetical peers, since his books have been praised by such discerning critics as Rolfe Humphries, David Daiches and Babette Deutsch. Mr. Fandel's work has received many honors, among them the Reynolds Lyric Award from the Poetry Society of America. His recent book, Testament a:nd Other Poems, has been said by Phyllis McGinley to have "elegance without drought, simplicity without simple­mindedness, and a wonderfully spare subtle style unusual in so young a man." Perhaps a stanza from his poem ·'About My Students" could serve as a valedictOiy to all the Trinity students who were to go out into the world and write books:

.. Among their lolling youtl1 my daydreams fut: How I, like they, lived once from bell to bell. No old accumulated notes can tell

Them life is stranger than they fancy it."

Hughes Scholar, Leader, Friend

The Dean

T wenty-five years devoted to Trinity

It was probably the first time since 1941, when he be­came Dean of Trinity College, that Dr. Arthm H. Hughes wasn't aware of what was going on. There was a good reason!

Two hundred members of the college community had gathered in Hamlin Dining Hall on the afternoon of De­cember 9 to honor the Dean's twenty-five years of service to Trinity. Called upon to say a few words, and not aware of the true natme of the occasion, Dr. Hughes referred to the stuffed moose head, somberly gazing down at him From above, and commented that he bad been hoping for twenty-five years that the unblinking eyes might some day light up. Upon this auspicious note the party started.

Present to congratulate the Dean were Mrs. Hughes, Dr. and Mrs. Jacobs, the College Faculty, Administration and Staff, and representatives of the student body. Dr. Jacobs presented to the Dean a Trinity Chair as a token of appreciation from the College. He also received other gifts from the Trinity family presented by Dr. J. Wendell Bmger and Miss Doris Me1win.

In recognition of the Dean's service, Dr. Jacobs noted: "Arthur, your colleagues and some of the student leaders have gathered this afternoon to endeavor to express to you our heartfelt affection as well as our boundless appre­ciation for yom twenty-five years of amazingly loyal and highly constructive service to Trinity. We will fail, we know, adequately to convey the feelings that lie so deep in the hea1t of each of us.

"For two and one-half decades, Arthur, you have been a mighty tower of sb·ength to this college. Devoted, skilled and understanding teacher, talented and wise ad­rninisb·ator, discerning and imaginative scholar - widely recognized authority in the fields of modern language and literature - you have played a major role in building the Trinity of today. You have added richly to her stature.

"Twice dming difficult and critical periods serving with marked distinction as Acting President, three Presidents have been privileged to work with you and to rely heavily on yom great ability. When as a rank outsider, I arrived some seven and one-half years ago, your wise, kindly, constructive counsel and guidance went far beyond the call of duty. I am etemally grateful.

"At the same time you have done much effectively to cement the ties between Trinity and Hartford. A dedi­cated Churchman, you have been and continue to be amazingly active in civic, educational and religious affairs, among other things currently serving as Chairman of Hartford's important Commission on The City Plan . ...

"We also salute you, Atthm, for the person you are -a true, respected and cherished friend of each of us, a person whose cheedul demeanor, keen and humorous wit, kindly understanding and friendly counsel are a great sb:ength as ~;ell as a joy to all privileged to be associated With you ...

Story

The Dean tries out his 11ew chair and fishing reel as he antici­pates spinning more yarns for Mrs. Hughes and Dr. Jacob s.

Several of Dr. Hughes' colleagues also have paid tribute to him by compiling for The Alumni Magazine the follow­ing paragraphs on the Dean's long career of service to his College.

"The practical stature of a Dean in a college is deter­mined, like that of the President of the United States, by the character of the man in office.

"In itself, the deanship is apt to have dimly defined powers. Its holder may be merely the college president's messenger boy; he may exercise the power of life and death over faculty appointments and promotions. He may build up and then stand on his dignity, like the novice dean who fired his secretary because, out of habit, she continued to address him as professor, and who, the week after his appointment, had his name painted on his garbage cans. Or he may feel himself not so much primtts inter pares as servus servorum, like the dean who said his function was to be a hydrant for the members of the faculty.

"Trinity has had three Deans of the Faculty. There had been none here until 1925 when, because of the in­creased number of students, Edward Leffingwell Troxell, Professor of Geology, gave part of his time to serving as

both Faculty and Student Dean. He attempted to give the position authority, and some actions that seemed ar­bib·ary prompted a faculty vote, still operative, that 'The faculty supports the right of undergraduates to criticize openly . . . the rules laid down for college govemment and also the acts and opinions of college officers and faculty members .. .'

"Three years later Professor Thurman Los Hood of the English Department was appointed Dean. He gave much time, energy, and ability to organizing, methodizing and regulating the office. Students found him a patient and indefatigable adviser, and in faculty meetings he usually acted as counsel for student defense. His bark was often savage, but many graduates remember him with deep gratitude.

"The career of Arthur Howard Hughes as Dean of the College started when he received his appointment in 1941. At the same time Joseph C. Clark of the Physical Educa­tion Department was made Dean of Students. Dean Hughes was awarded a Johns Hopkins Ph.D. in 1931, and then, so typical of a man who sets his own precedents. obtained a Master of Science degree seven years later. Even more telling is the fact that though he completed his work at Trinity for the M.S. degree in 1938, he did not have time formally to accept his degree at the Com­mencement exercises until 1958.

"The diversified nature of the Dean is reflected in his many activities, both academic and athletic in scope. Beside spending much of his spare time in translating German poetry in preparation for an anthology, he has laid the foundations for an extensive gazeteer of Connecti­cut Place ames, is knowledgeable in mathematics, and has been a state commissioner of the Connecticut Ceo­logical Survey since 1945. Dr. Hughes is also a member of the American Geographical Society, and, truly in keep­ing with his adventuresome spirit, has climbed the Matter­hom. As a college dean of wide experience and wisdom, he is, of course, a member of many official boards and national educational committees.

"The hobbies of the Dean and his family take them from the mountains, where they enjoy fern and wild Hower ex­peditions, to Cape Cod and Florida, where shelling on Marco Island is a favorite pastime. His great love of the water inspires the Dean's life-long ambition to someday own a boat.

"An authority on railroads, he can trace the history of even the least known lines. He subscribes to various train magazines and can cite train schedules both old and new. He travels only by train and is so well acquainted with certain runs that, on a sleeper in the middle of the night, he can tell by the lurchings of the train what town the train may be passing through.

Arthur H oward Hughes, Vice President and Deau

"The Dean's academic life started after his graduation from Johns Hopkins University in 1927 as an instructor in German there from 1928-1930. After two years of study in Vienna and an instructorship at George Washington University, Dr. Hughes came to Trinity as insh·uctor of German in 1935. He became an assistant professor in 1938, associate professor in 1943, and has been Professor of Modern Languages since 1945. Dean Hughes inaugu­rated a course in Russian at Trinity, and continues to teach a course in German Literature.

"Dean Hughes' dependability and substantial achieve­ments made him a natural choice as Acting President after President Ogilby's death in 1943. He also acted as ad­viser to President Ogilby's successor, President Funston. This indebtedness was marked by the Trustees' appoint­ment of the Dean as Vice President. Consequently, when President Funston resigned to become head of the New York Stock Exchange, Dean Hughes once again took the helm as Acting President of the College until the coming of President Jacobs in 1953.

"To quote once again from Dr. Jacobs' remarks on the occasion of this, the twenty-fifth anniversary of Arthur Howard Hughes, ... 'for years to come may this College 'Neath The Elms continue to have the blessings of your wisdom and of your leadership.' "

Two Impressions Behind the Iron Curtain

Two of ow· alumni, the Right Reverend Lauriston L. Sca:fe '31 and Robert W. Back '58, have mcently tmveled to Russia and some of the l1'0n Cu1·ta!n countr:es.

Bishop Scaife, tmveling as Cha:rman of the Ep:scopal Church's Comm:ttee on Cooperation with Orthodox and Other Eastern Churches, spent several weeks visiting with leaders of churches in Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece last summer. He gives here his impressions of his travels.

Robert Back, who is now doing graduate work at H ar­vard University, pTesents a view of Rttssia gained f1'0m his experiences on a student toU?·.

A Bishop Speaks One of the primruy purposes of my trip was to extend

to the Ecumenical Patriarch, on behalf of the Presiding Bishop, The Rt. Rev. Arthur Lichtenberger (Ron. '60), an invitation to attend the General Convention in Detroit in 1961. The Ecunemical Patriarch accepted the invita­tion with both pleasure and gratitude.

Although there has been no violent hostility in Turkey since 1956, the situation of the Greek people in this country is not a happy one. While the rebuilding of many of the churches destroyed at that time is being done under government auspices, there are still restrictions upon the Orthodox Clergy.

While I saw no concrete evidence of governmental re­strictions on the Chmch in Bulgru·ia or Yugoslavia, I am not so naive as to believe there are no restrictions. In several of the Iron Curtain countries I noted that the services were exceedingly well attended, and there ap­peared to be no restriction on travel for those attending.

However, preference in jobs seemed to be given to people who were not avowed Churchmen, and many times well-qualified Churchmen seemed to be passed over for promotion because of their church membership. I find that even with this constant pressure the leaders of the Orthodox Churches are doing the best they can. Obvi­ously they are forced to make the choice of becoming martyrs to the Faith, or embarking on a course of "peace­ful coexistence" with the State. The devotion of the Church leaders is beyond question: they bear Christian witness to every possible extent.

While the seminaries of the Orthodox Churches behind the Iron Cmtain are reasonably well attended, there is no other evidence of educational efforts. The faculty of The Theological Faculty in Belgrade work under the most appalling conditions, but St. Sava's Seminary is more for­tunate in its situation. The seminaries in all these coun­tries begin in the last two years of high school and provide a six-year course preparing for ordil1ation. Those who desire fwther study and advanced degrees then go to The Theological Faculty. And it is at this graduate level, with its limited library, that the stmcture of theological education, especially in Yugoslavia, is seriously impaired.

The choice of what has been called .. peaceful co­existence" is not an easy one to make. Many Church leaders, however, feel it is the only' answer to the prob­lems of the Church in Iron Curtain counb·ies. By seeking to exist in an unfavorable political climate, the Orthodox Chmches are able to minister to the spil·itual needs of their people. There is a hopeful increase in the number of men attending seminaries, preparing for the priesthood, and living in the monasteries and convents of Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. Although the sharp decline in vocations to the monastic life at Mount Athos is discouraging, the obvious devotion of the people at every service is up­lifting.

In summary, I find that our Rretluen behind the Iron Curtain, at least those whom we met, hope that we in America will accept the place in which we have not been placed in this world, and will use this position for the good of mankind, growing more realistic so far as the powers of this world are concerned, and still upholding the ideals for which Christianity stands.

A Student Speaks My visit to the Soviet Union during 1959 was condi­

tioned by two rather unusual biases. Fb·stly, as an anti­Communist "participant" in the Commtmist Vienna Youth Festival just previous to the b·ip, I became sick of the continual bombru·dment of Communist propaganda and emotionalism, which biased my view when actually seeing the fabled motherland of milk and honey. Secondly, most of om tour group were pro-Commwtist Americans from the Festival, and I worked overtime in refuting their anti­Americanism during the long train rides from Vienna to Kiev, Moscow, ru1d Warsaw. As a result, anti-Communist hormones were continually circulating in my body, and my predominantly unfavorable impressions of Russia might be attributed to these biases.

One distinct impression from my b·ip came from talks

in Czechoslovakia and Poland with several young students and soldiers. The Soviet colonial empire in Eastern Emope is not a Communist success story, though it does provide a good geographical buffer between Russia and the West. Conversations with these yc;mng people indicate a failure of Soviet indocb·ination in these areas, with a widespread dislike of everything Russian.

Another impression from conversations with Soviet citizens is their passionate desire for peace. There would not be an aggressive war against the West if these com­mon people could stop it, which, of course, they could not, if the KJ·emlin leadership declared war. The militant face of Soviet communism does not seem to reflect the views of the Soviet people to whom I spoke. The Russians are very proud of their material accomplishments, as they should be, particularly after the desb·uction, sacrifices, and population losses following the last war. These are usually viewed by the ordinary workers and peasants that I talked with as Russian national gains as opposed to Communist gains.

Most Russians and Uhanians were friendly to me and

very curious about my counb·y. My present roommate, who toured Russia this past summer, tells me that the U-2 Bight and Summit failure did not substantially affect the friendliness of ordinary Russians to American tourists. This is encouraging to me as evidence of a long range possibility of the improvement of U.S.-Soviet relations, particularly in view of the swift growth of Chinese power.

My lasting impression from the u·ip was a rejection of the Soviet system when compared with our own system, with all of our faults. Having seen Russians being roughly treated in the American Exhibition and elsewhere by Russian police, and having continually sensed the potential threat of arbib·ary force as the norm of government con­duct, I now feel more anti-Communist than when I en­tered Russia, the above-mentioned biases notwithstanding. My roommate here feels the same way. Whatever system the Russians want is fine with me. They have made great sacrifices in rebuilding their counb·y. On humanist grounds, however, when considering the spread of Soviet institutions . and tyranny in America, I would rather go clown fighting than succumb to its inefficient tyranny.

The Trinity Glee Club A Monograph By Robert S. Morris )16

Long before the poor little Whiffenpoof lambs first gathered around the tables down at Mary's to raise their collective glasses tmder the magic spell of song, students were wont to assemble anywhere, at any time, for the pure joy of singing together.

Trinity's expanding collection of memorabelia reveals a priceless letter from the hand of an undergraduate, Class of 1836, who thought it sufficiently important to inform his family of the cancellation of the evening chapel service in order that the "singing school" might hold sway. This is perhaps the earliest allusion to group singing of secular music at Trinity, although the College Choir bad sung at graduation exercises from the first commencement in 1827.

Trinity song birds of the 1840's discovered another pleasant pastime: the serenade. In 1847 a student wrote home with a suggestion of wistfulness: "As I came slowly up to Trinity alone about midnight, I heard several serenading parties, one bad received nineteen bouquets."

This pleasant custom seemingly continued for several decades, for in 1869 an undergraduate alluded to "choris­ters who on moonlight nights hire a hack and with every variety of preparation for keeping their voices in order, set out on serenading expeditions to their favored fair."

However, it was not until the fotmding of the Euter­pean Society in 1868 that a glee club made its formal bow at Trinity. The "Euterpes" continued to dedicate their talents to the Muse of Music until 1872 when the more prosaic title of Glee Club was adopted.

The new singing organization grew rapidly in popular­ity. In 1876 it assumed charge of the chapel music. By 1882 its membership had doubled and a professional coach was engaged. So valued had membership become by 1883 that members willingly submitted to fines for failure to attend rehearsals. Moreover, tl1e Club took to the road and barnstormed as far abroad as Newport, Rhode Island, and Portland, Maine.

Some degree of financial aHluence appeared in 1888 when $30.00 was appropriated from the Club's h·easury to send the u·ack team to an intercollegiate meet.

Activity reached a high water mark during the 1890-91 season. Twenty-one concerts were presented and it was generally agreed on the campus that "the Glee Club reflects more credit to the College than any other organization."

With Brown assisting, the Club made its first inter­collegiate appearance in 1891, but not until the Wellesley­Trinity joint concert in 1931 did Trinity men summon up enough courage to appear with the fairer sex.

In more recent years the Club has given joint concerts with such colleges as Bryn Mawr, Connecticut College for Women, Pembroke, Smith, Sweet Briar, Vassar and Wel­lesley. Perhaps the most ambitious of these programs was the presentation of Brahms' Requiem with Wellesley.

Another significant milestone was passed in 1931 when the Club competed in ilie Annual Contest sponsored by tl1e ew England College Glee Club Association. Trin­ity's ability to place only ten points behind the winner provided a fair measure of the excellence to which the Club had attained.

As Trinity's star continued to rise, ilie Glee Club's popularity expanded to such a degree that a hundred candidates appeared at ilie 1936 trials. Again in 1938 the Club received outstanding recognition at ilie Ammal Festival of the New England Collegiate Glee Clubs when the Boston Globe singled out Trinity for commendation.

Of late years the Trinity Glee Club has spread the gospel of good singing far and wide over radio and tele­vision airways. For eighty-two years it has been a pur­veyor of good cheer, and since its genesis antedates that of such famed Clubs as Princeton ( 1873), Harvard ( 1878) , and New York University ( 1883), it may well be one of tl1e oldest college Glee Clubs in the country.

History of THE TRINITY BANTAM March 5, 1905

By Frederick C. Hinkel, Jr. '06

For some time Trinity Alumni have wondered ho'vv we came by the Bantam as our mascot. At Commencement this June there was increased speculation.

So I went to our splendid library and now submit the result of my research.

In my first two years at college ( 1902-03 and 1903-04) I do not remember that we had any mascot or that any mascot was associated with us.

But the change came early in 1905, when the baseball schednle for the 1905 college team was published. The Captain of the team was Charles F. Clement, '05, an able and worthy representative of the great Clement family which has meant so much to Trinity.

I had the honor and privilege of managing the team and arranged a schedule of 28 games, which included the leading teams of the East.

This schedule was arranged, settled and approved well before our team was called to report early in March. It contained the largest number of games for any Trinity baseball team up to that time; and although I have not checked all the schedules since then, I venture to state it contained more games than any other Trinity baseball schedule before or since. You will find these 28 games listed in the 1906 Ivy.

This schedule attracted much favorable comment in the press, not only in the east but in the west.

I quote from the Trinity Tripod, Vol. 1. No. 38 Tues­day, March 14, 1905.

The Trinity Bantam. The following article appeared in the Detroit Free

Press of Sunday, March 5:

Trinity's Hard Schedule "One of the interesting college baseball schedules is

that of Trinity College, Hartford, which has twenty-eight games this yem·. Among the opponents listed are Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Brown, West Point, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Pennsylvania, Lehigh, Annapolis, Manhattan, Fordham., Syracuse, Wesleyan, Williams and Amherst. It would seem that Trinity has been rightly called the 'game­bantam of the intercollegiate poultry'."

This 1905 team was a good team, much better than average, and could have ranked with the greatest Trinity baseball teams. But there were only nine good ball play­ers and no substitutes. This lack of depth and reserves has been a great handicap to Trinity athletics through the years.

I quote again from the Trinity Tripod, Vol. l. No. 52 Tuesday, May 16, ·1905.

Clippings from the Press. The following article is taken from the St. Louis Post­

Dispatch of Saturday, May 6.

Little Trinity Has Crack Team Small colleges and state universities throughout the

middle West, whose teams are playing good baseball, may be heartened into going after 'big games' by the example of Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., which has made the 'Big Four' sit up and take notice this spring.

Although only 150 to 200 students are registered at Trinity, the team turned out has not only beaten Pennsyl­vania and Holy Cross, the latter being one of the most formidable of Eastern college teams, but has held down Princeton, Yale, and Harvard to such small scores that every possible obiection is being made to playing return matches with Trinity lest the big fellows get beaten by a team which they regard as good for practice rather than a serious opponent.

Trinity selected her material from less than twenty-five applicants, while the teams of Yale, Princeton and Har­vard had a thousand candidates to try out for the nine positions. Team and .stick work rather than exceptional pitching ability is given credit for Trinity's victories as a large percentage of the outs is credited to the outfield assists to first base.

The 1905 team was fortunate in that it was free from serious injuries until the Syracuse game in Hartford. The Trinity catcher was hit on the head by a pitched ball. He was rushed to Hartford Hospital. He was in a serious condition for several days, but fortunately pulled through all right.

On the field a consultation was held on what to do. Syracuse graciously consented to a delay in the game. Trinity decided to shift the third baseman to catch, be­cause he had caught in prep school. The shortstop was shifted to third. That left Trinity with no shortstop and with no substitute on the bench.

HENRY S. BEERS '18, president of Aetna Life In­surance Company, who has been named 1960 Insurance Man of the Year by The Insurance Field, a national insurance trade newspaper.

WARD DUFFY '17, who retired January I, 1961, as editor of The Hartford Times after 44 years of service and outstanding leadership to the paper.

LUCIUS KELLAM '35, for success in his work for the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel linking Vir­ginia's eastern shore with the mainland at NoJfolk.

CHARLES T. KINGSTON ]R. '34, for the 7th year as a member of the Million Dollar Round Table of the ational Association of Life Un­der...,riters.

JAMES H. KINSELLA '47, recently elected Judge of Probate of the Hartford District, succeeding the late Russell Z. Johnston '16.

LOU LITTLE '17, former football coach at Colum­bia University, recently inducted into the Foot­ball Hall of Fame.

So messengers were sent to the upper campus to locate a sunny and pleasing youngster who had played short on his class team, but had never come out for the varsity. With great spirit he agreed to play. He was hustled to the old gym, into an ill-fitting uniform, and onto the field .

The game was resumed and Trinity won 1-0. The next big test for the rearranged team was the

double header on Decoration Day with Wesleyan, the morning game in Hartford and the afternoon game in Middletown.

Trinity lost a heartbreaking game· in the morning to Wesleyan on errors by the score of 3-2. The regulars would have won 3-0. Early in the season Trinity won the first game of the three-game series 5-0.

So there Trinity was in despair, and the chance of vic­tory in the afternoon game seemed hopeless.

But a little fellow with a bow and arrow, named Cupid, took a hand. It seems that at that time Trinity pitcher Badgley and the boy who was to pitch the afternoon game for Wesleyan were interested in the same girl, who attended both games.

So Badgley, who had pitched a good game in Hartford and lost a shut-out 3-2 on errors, decided that he would pitch the afternoon game in Middletown. And the Trinity catcher who had been hwt in the Syracuse game and had not practiced since, was so steamed up by the loss of the morning game, that he decided he would catch.

So the team took the fi eld at Middletown with its orig­inal line-up. Badgley pitched another brilliant game and Trinity won 3-0.

But Badgley showed up at practice the next day with a bad arm. We took him to New Haven where Mike Murphy, famous Olympic and college coach and trainer, was at Yale.

Mike's treatment seemed strenuous to us. He placed Badgley's pitching arm on an ironing board, put a damp cloth on it, and pressed it with a hot iron, just as one would press a pair of trousers. With a few of these treat­ments and good medical care, Badgley's lame arm was cured. He came back to pitch the last game of the season against Amherst in Hartford and won 3-2 in a thriller.

And that's the story of a tough schedule and a good team which I believe gave birth to T~inity's Bantam. It is also interesting to note that in the same spring of 1905 Trinity pennants appeared with a bantam rooster on them. I still have one, which I have treasured all these years.

Birtb of the Bantam

The history of the Trinity bantam came to us as a result of a request for information about Trinity history pub­lished in the January 1960 issue of the Alumni Magazine.

Professor Glenn Weaver, who is writing the history of the College, and the committee working on the new Trin­ity songbook received much information which has been of assistance to them in their work.

The latter committee is still seeking further information concerning the following songs: ( I ) "Up In Fair Hart­ford" ( 2) "There Is A College On A Hill" by Safford Waters (3) "Where, Oh Where Is Prexy Luther?" (4) "Don't You Remember The Days Of 1910?" (5) "Show Me The Scotsman" (6) "If You Want To Go To Trinity" ( 7) "Linger Longer, Luther" by Bur gwyn '82 ( 8) "Oh, Mr. Luther" (9 ) "Faculty Song" (of 1890's).

Does anyone possess a copy of the old songbook Carmina Trinitatas?

Information may be sent to the editor or committee chairman , E. A. Niles, 14 Wall Street, New York 5, N.Y.

The Proudest Day: MacDonough on Lake Champlain by Charles G. Muller,

ew York, The John Day Company. 1960. viii + 373 pp. $5.75.

Reviewed by Glenn W eaver

''The proudest day for America"-so it was described by Lieutenant Colonel John Murray of the British Army-was the naval victory of Thomas MacDon­ough on Lake Champlain , September 11, l814. Mr. Muller has given us a lively and entertaining account of this battle and the preparations which preceded it. His understanding of the War of 1812 is sotmd, and his twelve-page bibliog­raphy suggests that considerable effort was expended in writing the volume. There are, however, major criticisms \\'hich must be made of The Proudest Day. The author has freely supplied con­versations of his own invention, and this keeps the reader continually wondering which of these lines are real and which are invented, and how much of the nar­rative is fact and how much of it is fic­tion. And the super-abtmdant camara­derie sometimes makes us think th1t we are with the Rover Boys on Lake Cham­plain, rather than with officers of the United States Navy. Thus, the book is not quite fiction, and not quite histoty­least of all biography. As the action takes place between October 7, 1812 and Sep­tember 11, 1814, Mr. Muller has filled in a bit of Commodore MacDonough's earlier life through a series of somewhat wooden and uninteresting flash-backs, and he has summarized the remaining ele"en years of his life in a two and one­half page "Epilogue" without so much as mentioning MacDonough's connection with Trinity College.

Although Thomas MacDonough could hardly be regarded as one of the found­ers of Washington ( Trinity ) College, he was one of the original Trustees. As such, he was something of "window dressing," induced to serve on the or­iginal Board (and to affix his signature to the petition for the College's charter) by The Right Reverend Thomas Church Brownell and his Episcopalian 'associates in their plforts to secure as incorporator.

12

a man of national fame. The College promoters-Episcopal clergy and Hart­ford merchants-sought to minimize the charge th:~t Washington College would be under exclusively Anglican control, and, in their efforts to obtain a wider base of popular support, they were wise to include among the original Board a Congregationalist minister, the pastor of the Baptist Church in Hartford, a United States Senator, and the "Hero of Lake Champlain." Both Senator Elijah Board­man and Commodore MacDonough were Episcopalians, but they, with Bishop Brownell, were the only nationally­known figures on the Board.

Thomas MacDonough wa> a devout Christian and a loyal Episcopalian. Fol­lowing the close of the War of 1812 h e made his home in Middletown, Connec­ticut, where h e was a leading figure in Christ Church. Between the time of the first meeting of the Trustees of Wash­ington College on July 8, 1823, and his death on November 10, 1825, Thomas MacDonough pent most of the time at sea, yet before his resignation in May, 1825, h e attended at least two meetings of the Corporation.

In the "Prologue" to The Pmudcst Day, Mr. Muller tells us that in the na­val annals of the United States Commo­dore MacDonough's "light has burned long enough under a bushel-nearly 150 years" ( p. vi). In the history of Trinity College, too, Thomas MacDonough has been a forgotten man-long enough­nearly 140 years!

The Boss - The Story of Carnal Abdel Nasser, by Robert St. John '25, 1ew York, McGraw-HiJJ ; 1960; $5.95; 325 pp .

Reviewed by June L. Thomas

If there exists one man capable of presenting the life and times of Carnal Abdel Nasser, the strong man of Egypt, that man is asser himself. And, in a sense, that is exactly what has been done in The Boss. Robert St. John '25 sat out a lengthy period in Cairo wait­ing for his opportunity to meet directly with Nasser, and was rewarded evenh•­at\y with intt>rviews in deptl1 that las tt>d

far into many nights. lt is the e direct conversations that form the basis and bulk of the story, but the amount of additional material and research give an authority to Mr. St. John that few other men could claim.

The Boss is a painstakingly resea rch ~d study of a man who finds his destiny not pre-ordained, but certainly pre-or­dered by the times and conditions to which he is born. As details of back­ground, of character, of atmosphere grow and evolve into a frequently ex­citing book, we find it more than an an­alysis of a personality-it is a near def­initive study of a man leading a country which ha only begtm to find its way in­to tl1e twentietl1 century.

asser i s a rebel born, and his coun­try at the time of his youth provides a fertile ground for his antagonistic spirit. He rebels first against his teachers, then his parents, then the bureaucratic, aris­tocratic army, and finally, of course, ag:~inst tl1e reigning monarchy. Egypt provides the cause; Nasser provides the spirit. Is it a case of a hero in search of a role, or, as asser himself states, a role in search of a hero?

We do not find the answer in The Boss. Mr. St. John poses the question; we must, or history must, provide the answer. This journalistic accounting of a man who has brought his nation to a standing of international importance is objective to a final degree, and therein lies its one minor Aaw.

We see events day by clay leading to the revolution; we live the hours of the coup with the protagonists; we are given a minute by minute timetable of the mo­mentous events; we are exposed to the innermost thoughts of the leader him­self; but, unforttmately, we never get to know our man on a personal level. The shouts of the crowd are recorded ; the political situation minutely set forth ; the father image i examined; but of what cloth is the man himself?

In following Robert St. John across tl1e wide stretches of Egypt, a country tl1at differs in its various parts as much as any country on earth, we find Nasser first in Upper Egypt, born in Beni Moi to the Tribe of the Bitter Ones.

Carnal went to military school, became an officer, found disillusionment on the battlefield of Israel , and in so doing found his life role-El Rayiis, tl1e Boss, boss of the Free Officer's organization.

During tl1e years leading to tl1e over­throw of Farouk, Nasser remained anon­ymous, as he continued to do through the birtl1 of the new nation. In his cal­culating manner, he appointed General Naugib as president of tl1e newly-formed republic, heeding the political formula tl1at cotmter-revolution follows revolu ­tion. If tl1e revolution were to fail Nas­ser would not be the target of the counter-revolution. He would be free to act again.

The U.A.R. took fonn, war on the .J ews reached Nazi proportion, the reign of the dictator began as asser took over in name as well as fact from Nau­gib. The bloodshed the young h ero ab­hored became commonplace, as the Suez crisis made the strength of asscr and

Egypt indisputable. Freedom of the ~~ess disappeared as completely as pohti<;:al enemies. Vilification of the English turned on the United States.

vVe are shown the inner workings of the government, the decisions of state which Nasser boldly faces, the cool working of the man's mind. W e are also made aware of the underlying inferiority complex of a nation so long under im­perialistic control, and, as Mr. St. J?hn explains, it is apparent the ~g~tia_ns must throw off th eir cloak of mfenonty before they reach full maturation .

Robert St. John has drawn on hun­dreds of sources for this minutely de­tailed coverage of the career of asser. And if the final answer as to what Nas­ser is truly like eludes the reader, it is possibly because it also el~de~ the. au~­or. In his attempt to mamtam obJectiv­ity towards a man whose actions arouse violent passions, Mr. St. John h as failed to allow any feeling for the man per­sonally to show through. If, in the final analysis, we must assess the quality of the man through the quality of his ac­tions, then The Boss provides a partial answer. But, in a world where commu­nication between men becomes confused by conflicting ideologies, we h ave to rely on reporters like Robert St. John to pre­sent, for good or ill, an opinion of the subject under consideration.

The Fierce Lambs; An. Account of 1917, the 1' ear America Wen.t "Ooer Th ere" - By A. A. Hoehling; Little, Brown and Company; $3.95; 210 pp.

Rev·iewed by Donald B. Engley

Trinity alumnus A. A. Hoehling ( Triil­ity '36 ), a former \ .V ashington ne~s­paperman and now a free-lance wnter living in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, con­tinues to make use of a very successful documentary teclmique in his approach to history. Many readers will rem.em~e;, his "The Last Voyage of the Lus1tama and " Last Train from Atlanta" in recent years.

In tl1is, his sixth bzook Hoehling de­scribes eventful 1917, a year which saw the United States drawn into World War 1. He describes the zeal and bravado witl1 which the country set about pros­ecuting "the war to end all wars." He brings the ye<u to life by tracing the careers of the first four American to lose their lives in battle ii1 1917. His title comes from a mother's description of one of the boys: "He was full of mis­chief. He was also a lamb. You would never have tl1ought he could get angry enough to go to war." . .

This reviewer closes w1tl1 a mmor but essential criticism of tl1e book, directed at the publisher. Any work of non-fiction that is worth publishing deserves an m­dex. It is inadequate and incomplete without it. There are many events and facts about 1917 buried in this "infor­mal" but olid history.

Prize Winning Poetry

Michael Rewa, salutatorian of the class of 1959, was awarded a poetry prize at tl1e University of Delaware last spring. The twenty-four students at the University competing in the contest · sponsored by the Academy of American Poets each had to submit a manuscript of no less tl1an five poems. In addition to a cash prize, Mike's poems were pub­lished in Venture. Robert Hillyer, a poet who tau~ht at Trinity, was a member of tl1e panel of judges.

While at Trinity, Mike was a Holland scholar and an editor of the Trinity Re­view. H e helped organize tl1e Literary Society here two years ago. Mike has read his poetry on radio and partici­pated in panel discussions on various topics related to creative writing.

Formerly a resident of East Hartford, Mike and his wife Katherine now live at the University where he is a gradu­ate assistant in the English department studying for his Ph.D .

Graduate st11dy and teaching two English courses prevent Mike from giv­ing as much attention to writing as he would like. But in the future we can expect to see some poems of high qual­ity from his pen.

SUBURBS OF SORROW

Where deer had rubbed their horns My apple grove was old, gnarled, worn ; Its leaves a sununer sky Where red stars sparkled in the sun. The open river glinted over smooth flat

stones; Bass waited as I clattered through, To feed in a curving deep green flash . And on a quiet day, the dam closed And the river low and smooth, The h eated stillnes would resound Willi the fuiJ-sided smack of some great

fi sh Shaking off the torpor of the day.

I spent my summer climbing apple trees And watching fish in my grandfather's

river, \Vhen my age was a dream that was

dying.

Although I could not count my age by death

Or by the birth of dreams, I counted passing winter By the ten dollar bills The failier of my father's grief Had set aside for both our passing

College Lectures Present Noted Scholars

Addresses on U. S. Foreign Policy, The 1ycenaean World and a look at Africa were all among · the subjects pre­sented on the lecture program during the last two months of the Christmas term.

Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, widely ac­claimed author and political scientist from Harvard, presented the third ad­dress in the Trinity College Lecture Series December 1st. Dr. Kissinger, who talked on "American Policy and Dis­armament," said supporting of an all-out arms race means "we are willing to com­mit suicide to prevent an eventual death."

The spread of nuclear arms would in­crease not so much the possibility of war between major countries "but the prob­lem of little country fighting little coun­try with a resultant global war," he said.

Already the author of the influential study " Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy," Dr. Kissinger will soon release his latest book "The ecessity of Choice." An article adapted from his new book appeared in Harper's maga­zine under the title "The Next Summit Meeting."

Financ ial Forecast for the Sixties "Financing Business in the Sixties"

was the subject of the annual George M. Ferris Lecture given this year by Dr. Charles Marvin Williams.

The George M. Ferris Lectures in cor­poration finance and investments have been made possible through an endow­ment fund established by George M. Ferris '16.

Dr. Williams is a professor at Har­vard University's Graduate School of Business Administration and has written extensively in the field of corporation finance and investments.

He foresees a substantial economic growth in the decade ahead as well as active and vigorous competition for the funds generated by personal savings. There will also be a justifiable concern over inflation with continued public re­straint on the creation of credit through the commercial banking system.

One very probable development both from the financial as well as the man­agement standpoint is the increase in the number of mergers. "Subject only to

14

the degree of restriction imposed on a merger by the threat of anti-trust action by the government," he concluded, "it seems likely that mergers will represent an increasingly important, if indirect, way for tl1e promising but capital-hun­gry company to insure the financing necessary for full realization of its po­tential."

Mycenaean Tablets Uncovered Professor Mabel Lang of Bryn Mawr

College, Pa., delivered the annual Charles E. Moore Lecture for the promotion of Greek studies December 8. Her topic was "New Light on the Mycenaean World: Palace Records at Pylos." Using slides to supplement her talk, Professor Lang told of the construction, storage and significance of some 3,000-year-old clay tablets uncovered recently in exca­vations of the royal palace at Pylos, Greece. Professor Lang showed how the tablets give an excellent account of the business transactions of the Mycenaean royalty.

The African Challenge "The African Challenge to Education

and the Christian Church" was the sub­ject of a talk by Dean John A Gay of Cuttington College, Monrovia, Liberia, who spoke in Wean Lounge De­cember 14.

Dean Gay said, "We have a tre­mendous responsibility to help guide African nationalism in a Christian direc­tion, since the persons we are training will in many cases be the future leaders of their countries."

Existentialism Existentialism was the subject of a

symposium on the Trinity campus at the annual three-day meeting of the ew England Province of the National Can­terbury Association composed of Epis­copal college students.

Five eminent Churchmen and scholars discussed existentialism from different approaches. The three sessions were at­tended by more than 150 Canterbury delegates, Trinity faculty and students, and friends during the week end cf November 18.

Following are the main speakers and their subjects: Dr. William A. Johnson, a member of Trinity's Religion Depart­ment and first speaker, talked on "Ex­istentialism in the writings of Thomas Mann and Andre Gide." The topic for Professor Walter A. Kaufman of Prince­ton was "Christian and Atileistic Exis­tentialism." Following his lecture, tile Rt. Rev. Ceorge Florovsky of Harvard Divinity School talked on "Existential Motifs in tile expression of Christian Faith." The third session of tile sym­posium on Saturday afternoon featured Professor John D. Wild of Harvard who discussed "Existentialism and Social Problems" and Professor Edmond LaB. Cherbonnier, chairman of Trinity's De­partment of Religion, who spoke on "Ex­istentialism as a resurgence of Pagan Theology."

The conference ended with tile regular Sunday chapel service where the guest preacher was tile Rev. Eugene Dixon, Canterbury adviser for the Diocese of Connecticut and chaplain of tile Univer­sity of Connecticut.

Economic Growth Trinity College played host to the fall

meeting of tl1e Connecticut Valley Econ­omists on October 29. The group is comprised of all the colleges up and down tile Connecticut Valley, plus a few others from farther eastward . Trinity's Dr. Lawrence W. Towle is an active member of the organization, which meets twice a year. Frazar B. Wilde, chairman of the Board of Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, was the speaker for this session; his subject was "Growth-What Does It Mean and How Do You Get It."

Prospects for U. S. Economy The annual Mead Economic Lecture

was delivered January lOth by Dr. Gott­fried Haberler, professor of economics at Harvard. Dr. Haberler, who is a mem­ber of the National Bureau of Economic Research, spoke on "Recent Development and Future Prospects of tile U. S. Econ­omy."

H istory R egains Spot as Most Popular Subject

The Registrar's office reports that his­tory has regained its former status as the most popular subject selected as a major by Trinity upperclassmen. Of the 785 upperclassmen choosing a major, 141 de­cided on history. According to figures compiled by Mrs. Ruth C. Rogge, re­corder and statistician, other popular subjects selected from some 30 fields of study for a major were: economics, 121; English, 92; pre-medical studies, 57; matilematics, 42; four-year engineering, 34; government, 29; philosophy, 26; fine arts, 24; psychology B.S. and romance languages, 22 each.

For many years history has been ilie most popular subject for a major, but last year economics was the popular choice.

Outstanding Grants Aid Trinity Program Hartford Foundation Gift to Summer and Graduate Studies

The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving presented the College a gift of $35,000 to assist Trinity in the develop­ment and implementation of several edu­cational programs over the next two years.

Pomeroy Day, executive vice president of the Connecticut Bank & Trust Com­pany, presented a check to Dr. Jacobs on behalf of the trustees of the Hartford Foundation. Also at the presentation was Dr. Robert M. Vogel, Dean of Grad­uate Studies and Director of the College Summer Sessions.

Jt is in the area of Graduate Studies and Summer Sessions that most of the new programs will be implemented. The gift will be used towards:

Extension and elaboration of Trinity's Transition to College Plan.

Introduction in the 1961 Summer Ses­sion of demonstration advanced place­ment courses. Like the Transition to College Plan, this program offers high school students the opportunity to ad­vance their studies. It also provides a plan to train teachers for introduction of advanced placement courses.

Additional summer courses to meet in­creasing demands of students wishing to accelerate and finish college in three calendar years.

Development of graduate studies which offer persons in Greater Hartford an op­portunity to continue their education while maintaining full-time employment.

Analysis of the relationship of Trinity's Fine Arts Center to existing cultural facilities and activities in the community with the objective of complementing ex­isting programs and avoiding duplication.

Re-emphasis of the College's pioneer effort to induce mothers with grown children to enter or re-enter the teaching profession and to help them achieve this goal.

Continuing to conduct, with local schools, a search for talent at all levels in an effort to reduce the percentage of talented youngsters who do not go to college.

T exaco's Program For Independent Colleges

For the fifth successive year Trinity has been selected by Texaco Inc. as one of the privately financed United States colleges and universities to be included in the Company's Aid-to-Education Pro­gnun. The grant of $1500 is for the 1960-61 academic year, and is without restriction as to its use.

Texaco's support of higher education for the 1960-61 academic . year amounts to approximately $700,000, the Company stated, and is based on the belief that an investment in America's youth and the continued well-being of its colleges and universities is an investment in the future welfare of the economy and the country.

College Benefits From Unrestricted Esso Grant

An unrestricted grant of $5,000 to­wards the expenses directly associated with undergraduate education has been awarded to Trinity College from the Esso Education Foundation.

This is the sixth consecutive year that Trinity has been honored by the Founda­tion, which was established in 1955. The Foundation has made, for the aca­demic year 1960-61, 374 grants amount­ing to $1,609,695, according to Mr. M. J . Rathbone, Chairman. The Foundation, established by the Standard Oil Com­pany ( ew Jersey), is also supported by five domestic affiliates of Jersey Standard.

Since its inception, the Foundation has pioneered in emphasizing unrestricted grants to selected colleges and univer­sities in the belief that the institutions themselves are in the best position to know how to use most effectively the funds they receive.

Direct and Matching Gifts From Connecticut General

Connecticut General Life Insurance Company has contributed $2,837 to Trin­ity under its Program to Aid Higher Education.

The program is divided into two parts. First the Company makes a direct grant to the college whose graduates have been employed by Connecticut General for 10 years or more. The grant is based on the premise that the college spends $4,000 beyond what it receives in tuition to educate one student. A direct grant of $160 for each eligible graduate seeks to replace the income the College would receive from endowment if $4,000 were available for investment at four per cent.

In the second part of the program Connecticut General matches individual gifts made to Trinity by employees who have been with the company for at least one year.

Under part one of the program there are 12 Trinity Alumni for whom the company has made direct grants. The alumni are L. Moray Armstrong '38, Andrew B. Beattie '48, Frederick A. Calderwood '37, Charles S. Hanzen '47, Amos F. Hutchins Jr. '49, athaniel R. H. Moor '43, William K. Paynter '37, Robert N. Roach '35, William B. Starkey '43, Peter Torrey '46, E.

Capital Area Scholars "Educational horizons in the United

States are undergoing a sweeping ex­pansion, and it is heartening to find Trinity College in the front ranks. Presi­dent Albert C. Jacobs has reiterated Trinity's desire to join with junior high schools in this area to discover pupils whose brains should take them to col­lege, but whose family budgets are un­likely to permit it. Through its Capital Area Scholarship Plan, Trinity has been fostering the financial aspect of such a program for two years." This was the editorial reaction of The Hartford Cow·­ant following the College's third annual Capital Area Scholarship dinner.

ln speaking to some 150 school super­intendents, principals, headmasters and guidance clirectors who attended the din­ner in Mather Hall, Dr. Jacobs reviewed the outstanding record of the 25 students who have received such a scholarship over the fiTst two years of the program and he reported the College hoped to be able to have 40 Capital Area schol­ars studying under tl1e program by 1962.

Dr. Jacobs said he sees ilie two-year­old Capital Area Scholarship Program as a dunce to pioneer in a field "of tre­mendous potential in which to date prac­tically nothing has heen don!'."

Kellam '35 Realizes Dream When Lucas J. Kellam, Trinity '35.

affixed his signature to a $200 million bond issue, the dream of a crossing across tl1e Chesapeake Bay linking Vir­ginia's Eastern Shore wiili tl1e mainland at Norfolk started on tl1e road to reality.

Mr. Kellam signed fue documents as Chairman of ilie Chesapeake Bay Ferry Commission, which will build and oper­ate the 17.5 mile bridge-tunnel project.

On the afternoon of August 1, tl1e day the documents were signed, tl1e Norfolk Ledger Dispatch heralded tl1e event witl1 a front page story and pic­ture as a "Big Day in Tidewater Vir­ginia's History". In tribute to Mr. Kellam tl1e paper said, "Lucius J. Kellam, chair­man of the commission since its incep­tion, has never faltered in his belief tl1at ilie bridge-tunnel would become a real­ity. When he presided today and affixed his signature to the final documents his face was glowing, and he sighed deeply in relief as the scratching of pens meant more than three years of hard work had ended successfully."

The Eastern Shore ews, Onancock, Va., devoted an entire issue to tltis new project. The issue was "Dedicated to ilie development of ilie Shore in general, but specifically to Mr. Lucius J. Kellam, Jr., Mr. George R. Pamm, Jr. , and Mr. Mil­ton T. Hickman, ... whose tireless ef­forts on behalf of our citizens have been instrtrmental in marketing tl1e Bridge­Tunnel bonds."
