Trinit WINTER 1968

HAR7FORD, CONN.

To Alumni and Parents : Two developments have prompted Trinity College

seriously to consider the inclusion of women as undergraduates. First, we received from Vassar College an invitation to exchange students during the Trinity semester of this academic year. Obviously this exchange makes sense only if the College wishes to become better acquainted with both the problems and opportunities of coeducation. Second, many of the most eminent men's colleges have recently studied in depth the feasibility of coeducation. We feel that Trinity College would be remiss if it did not consider this question now so prominently under review among America's colleges.

Therefore, the Board of Trustees instructed the administration to begin immediately a study of the feasibility of coeducation at Trinity. A committee, including representatives from all segments of the Trinity Community and chaired by William R. Peelle '44, is now active. There are many questions which we shall have to ponder in depth. Some of these questions have already received preliminary consideration in a report by Dean Fuller for the Trustees. A second report going into details will appear in the near future.

I can assure you that Trinity College will judge this step primarily in terms of the educational advantages it might bring to the College. We also wish to ascertain the effect on admissions which coeducation might have. Whatever other advantages or liabilities coeducation may have are secondary to these two central considerations.

We welcome comments from alumni and parents and will make every effort to keep you informed as we progress with our study.

Patience

To the Editor:

The theme of the 1967 Trinity Ivy was "Trinity and the Community." The focus of the narrative and photography was directed toward placing Trinity in its proper perspective. Those involved with community affairs worked hard and be­came interested in the challenges beyond themselves. No programs were started overnight as the result of irresponsible, subversive pressure. The mixing and blending of the activities took time to plan, and cooperation, to build into meaningful projects.

Perhaps one of the greatest virtues that we can possess during these days of social unrest and questioning is patience. Mr. Mozzi's article repeats the following state­ment, "The time for needed change is now." Moreover, his proposed plans are envisioned as part of a long-range end . Indeed, experimental reforms and im­provements are most successfully accom­plished when placed in perspective.

Instead of tearing down the walls of tradition and experience, the activists who are working to make Trinity a liv­ing community would do well to exercise patience. Patience is not sitting back with folded hands to preserve the status quo. Rather, by being patient, I mean being active in dynamic pursuits, but not for selfish personal interests. Patience re­quires consideration for the thoughts, the obligat:ons, the interests, and the rights of others as well as exercising responsi­bility. Jn essence, in learning to live in any community, we should have patience to recognize those things which cannot be changed, courage to change those things which ought to be changed , and wisdom to know the difference!

Coeducation

To the Editor:

To clarify my original letter, I do favor coeducation at Trinity. The co­signer of the original letter, Mr. George Y eannakis, has since transferred to Amer­ican University, a coeducational institu­tion. Meanwhile, as well, Wesleyan Uni­versity announced plans to reinstitute coeducation . Trinity plods on.

RICHARD J. BEHN '69

N ot only Wesleyan, but Yale has also taken the plunge and recently announced that approx imately 500 women will begin classes in · the fall of 1969. Life, in its issue dated No vember 22 , headlined the story: "After 267 Years of Bachelorhood, Yale Takes a Bride."

And Trinity "plods on" no longer. At least the College will investigate the feasi­bility o f coeducation. Reference is made to th e statement by President Lockwood on the opposite page which expands on his remarks concerning coeducation in his Inaugural Address included in the last issue o f The Alumni Magazine (Fall, 1968).

In fairness to Mr. Behn, his letter was written sometime prior to the President's announcement on October 12.

Wh o knows. Perhaps it will be Trin vs. Wes in field hockey yet!

ROMAN ADVENTURE

Classics, Culture and Revolt

On February 7, 1968, I boarded a TWA jetliner with about eighteen other young scholars to fly to the most rewarding experience of my college career, a semester at the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome. This Roman holiday actually began some months earlier when the late Professor James A. Notopoulos encouraged me to apply for admission into the program administered by the Stanford University Overseas Campuses office. The program offers, on the undergraduate level, a completely classical curriculum emphasizing the Roman aspect.

Located in a residential district near the Janiculum hill, the Center is actually inside the convent of the Sacred Heart sisters; the nuns occupied one building and we, the other. Our closest English-speaking neigh­bors were the members of the American Academy. The two institutions had several joint social functions , and occasionally an Academy scholar would lecture one of our classes.

The school's administration is handled by Doctor Giancarlo Beria and his wife, Benedetta. They both deserve a lot of credit for effecting, as painlessly as possible, our adjustment to Italian ways.

The academic program consists of four courses: Latin, Greek, Roman history and Roman archaeology. For the literature requirement, we read from the works of Tacitus, an early imperial Roman historian, and Thucydides, an Athenian general who recorded the Peloponnesian wars between Athens and Sparta.

Despite the antiquity of their subject matter, both writers bore a remarkable relevance to current Amer­ican events and situations. For example, the Vietnam conflict is reflected in the disastrous Athenian expedi­tion to subjugate Sicily, begun while Athens was fight­ing Sparta at home; yet she divided her resources, met

Mr. Zartarian's report adds validity to a statement made hy the late James A. Notopoulos, Hobart Professor of Classical Languages, in the Fall 1966 issue of The Alumni Magazi ne: "Establishment of the new Center is significant for our undergraduates majoring in the classics and for the faculty of the department. To have the opportunity of studying and teaching in the very locale where classical literature was created will be a stimulating and rewarding experience."

her enemy indirectly on foreign soil, and, being de­feated there, caused her own forces to be seriously depleted. The recent assassinations in America are paralleled in the reign of Tiberius where all the suitable heirs to the throne were eliminated, the most popular allegedly poisoned by the emperor himself. As Tacitus says, " ... short-lived and ill-fated are the favorites of the people." Of course, the impact of such likenesses was heightened by our separation from stateside events which caused a different, perhaps more critical view of American affairs.

However, such observations might just as well have been realized here in the smoking room of the Library. For me, the greatest value of the program lay in the archaeology course. Living in the old city enabled us to study the ancient monuments, not from textbook illustrations, but by actual visitation and first hand in­vestigation. Going on two field trips a week, as well as longer expeditions to Florence and Naples, we saw the sites with an understanding of history and archaeol­ogy deeper than that of the average tourist, which made the visits more informative and more enjoyable.

Within the city we visited as a group almost all the sites of archaeological interest, including the various fori, the baths, the imperial palaces on the Palatine hill , the major museums, such monuments in the Campus Martius as the Pantheon , Augustus' Altar of Peace and the four Republican temples behind which Julius Caesar was believed to have been killed. Usually one of the two professors, William Anderson of Berkeley, and John D'Arms of the University of Michigan, accompanied us, providing an expert commentary. Among other sites, the trips outside the city included Pompeii and Herculaneum, Etruscan tombs at Tarquinia, Rome's ancient seaport Ostia, the vast country estate of the emperor Hadrian , and the cave on the Tyrrhenian coast that served as the seaside residence of Tiberius.

As students of archaeology we sometimes received benefits not generally accorded to visitors. For example, we were guided through the excavations of several Campanian villas covered by the famous Pompeii-de­stroying eruption of Mount Vesuvius by Libero D'Orsi, the discoverer and chief excavator of these houses.

Also, with less than official authority, we entered an incomplete excavation, a newly discovered shrine to two emperors; the professors had persuaded the work supervisor to admit us. As we were leaving, however, a representative of the Department of Antiquities ar­rived and, witnessing the intrusion, barred all visitors from the site until the digging had been completed and the results published.

Most of us did not limit our archaeological studies to the field trips and assigned readings, but independ­ently took advantage of Rome's offerings. In addition to frequent visits to various monuments, I reconstructed on paper the system of water pipes, fountains, and latrines in one section of Hadrian's villa for a term paper project. The research involved not only charting and analyzing the remains of the system but also, at one point, crawling through a subterranean drainage pipe to discover its source. While underground, I found a brick stamp, an impression in the tile with an inscrip­tion bearing the name of either the manufacturer or the consuls in power when it was made. Apparently I had a unique find, for the inscription was not listed in any major works on brick stamps.

Of course, the most pleasurable experiences lay out­side the academic sphere. Long after Etruscan temple architecture becomes indistinct, and the characteristics of Pompeiian wall painting fall forgotten, will remain memories of Rome and its wonderfully warm people. Time cannot erase, for example, the memory of my first weekend in the city when I became hopelessly lost and walked about almost desperate, unable to ask or understand directions. Nor can it diminish the awe that I felt upon first seeing the Pieta; this sculpture, perhaps the Vatican's most famous, stands in a simple little chapel, and its immediate surroundings contrast remarkably with the rich surface of the basilica itself. And it will not remove the excitement of looking from the Capitoline hill onto the Forum's mute splendor vibrantly colored by the sunlight of dusk. I came to understand the Italian's appreciation of physical beauty as I wandered among stately Renaissance buildings between the Tiber and the Via del Corso and to learn of his pleasure-oriented, extroverted nature as I threaded through the evening noise and activity of nar­row Trastevere streets.

Of all the Italians I encountered, one of the most open individuals was Signor Gaspare, the proprietor of a local birreria, or tavern, where a group of us fre­quently gathered. He was always willing to talk with us because, of course, every bartender talks with his patrons and because the students of the Center are among the few foreigners with whom he has any con­tact. Our conversations generally centered around poli­tics. Once, on the Italian election night, he blamed the United States and England for the rising support given to the Communist party by the young people, although my ability in Italian failed when he explained why he thought this way. Like many Italians, both he and his wife greatly admired Robert Kennedy and spent an evening discussing with us his suitability for the presi­dency. Gaspare's friendliness extended beyond an at­tempt to establish good public relations and reflected

a genuine interest in his foreign customers. Following the examples of Columbia and the Sor­

bonne, students at the University of Rome staged an occupation of the school in mid-spring. Having missed the events at Williams Memorial, I decided to take this opportunity to see student activism at work.

Each gate to the University area boldly bore the sign "Universita occupata," and groups of students were standing around exulting in their successful show of power and seeing that none of the opposition was allowed to enter. I introduced myself to one of the "guards" as an American student studying abroad and, after producing my international student identity card and contributing a couple of hundred lire to the move­ment, was permitted to go inside. Upon entering, how­ever, I immediately aroused suspicion, since no one really knew who I was or why I had come. Eventually, an English-speaking student named Marco, who was later to become a close friend, approached to inves­tigate me. Deciding that I was neither a policeman nor a reporter, he gave me a full tour of the place and an introductory lecture on the revolutionary movement among Italian students.

The strike protested not only the University's anti­quated system but also the prevailing European social and political situation. Revolutionary slogans such as "Arms to the students and workers" were inscribed with red paint on the white building facades. There was also professed admiration for Mao Tse-Tung and Che Guevarra. Despite the fact that the students labelled themselves "Ma-Ma-Ma-isti" (followers of Marx, Mao, and Marcuse), they did not want to establish another

The excavation work on this shrine to the emperors Titus and Vespasian had not been completed when students of the Center visited the site.

Red China on Italian soil, as Marco explained, but looked up to these men as symbols of the great social revolution.

Unfortunately for the movement, the students were not as closely allied with the labor group as were students in France. Consequently, the incident re­mained relatively isolated and, for the most part, non­violent. Siding actively with the students were the workers of the University itself, such as the school's guards who helped in manning the blockaded gates. Some labor groups did hold strikes quite apart from the student movement. Newspaper printers staged a series of one-day strikes, notices of which usually ap­peared in the papers on the day before. Mail carriers, too, stopped work for about three weeks.

The student occupation lasted for about a week; the city police broke through the gates and restored the school to the administration. Until the end of the term military police stayed at all entrances, checking the identity of those who entered. To overcome this ob­stacle, whenever I wanted to visit Marco, I decided to use my passport for identification. This document was the most imposing in appearance although it had no relevance to my motives for entering. I knew, however, that it would touch the Italian sensitivity for decorum, propriety, and officialism.

All in all, my five months in the Eternal City spawned a wealth of profitable experience on both academic and personal levels. The newly acquired historical and archaeological background has already lent itself to my studies. But, more importantly, has developed the ability to act depending on my own capa­bilities. Separated from the accustomed, one learns to make his way independently through his new surround­ings, to gain insight into these circumstances, and to benefit from the experience gained there.

ENDOWMENT COMMITTEE REPORT

Bequests and Deferred Gifts: Their Importance to the Endowment

Building of the endowment at Trinity College was one of the primary aims of the Ford Foundation Chal­lenge campaign, concluded on June 30. To strengthen the College for the future, it remains critically impor­tant to continue to seek endowment funds and invest the funds in a prudent manner for future growth. Inas­much as the personal bequest has historically been the most important source of endowment funds, it seems particularly appropriate at this time to report on the past history of bequests received and what may be expected in the future. In addition to bequests, we have included in this statistical analysis such deferred gifts as receipts from life insurance policies and matured life income gifts. Also, in cases where a bequest has estab­lished an independent trust from which Trinity receives all or a percentage of the income, an estimate has been included of the original principal amount upon which the College receives income.

The following table summarizes the history of be­quests received:

The individual bequest has ranged from a few be­quests under $500 to the four largest:

1. Louis W. Downes, '88, Ron. '13 left $915,824. Most of this was used for the Downes Memorial admin­istration building and the remainder of approximately $132,000 went to endowment for faculty salaries.

2. Julia K. (Mrs. Patrick) McGovern left $673,116. This went toward construction and maintenance of the Austin Arts Center.

3. Katherine Morris left $589,558 in memory of her husband, J. Oliver Morris, '08. This was for general purposes of the College, and a large part has been held in endowment to finance interest and principal pay­ments on the North Campus housing project.

4. William G. Mather, '77 left $514,319 in addition to his many gifts during life for construction of the Chapel and other purposes. The bequest went to en­dowment for general purposes of the College.

The Endowment Committee was formed in 1954 to encourage alumni, particularly classes out of college 25 years or more, to consider some form of bequest or deferred gift to Trinity. In addition, for quite a few years there has been a full-time Development Officer, for the past four years- Howard Spencer, to assist the Committee in their efforts and to meet with interested alumni, parents and other friends of the College for discussion of possible plans that might be best suited to their particular circumstances. The response to the efforts of the Committee has been most gratifying.

We are also confident that this avenue of support for Trinity will continue to grow and be instrumental in guaranteeing the future excellence of the College. We now know of approximately 250 bequests or deferred gifts that should bring between $15,000,000 and $20, 000,000 in the future. Also, experience shows that there are probably many testamentary provisions in existence of which the College has no present knowledge.

Very often the aims of the individual donor can best

5

be achieved through the creation of a trust with life interest to a relative and the remainder either in entirety or part to Trinity. An outstanding example of this is the bequest of an alumnus of the Class of 1893 who died in 1957 and left the remainder of his estate (about $1,500,000) in trust with income for life to his sister. At her death the entire trust principal (at present ap­proximately $2,250,000) will come to Trinity for gen­eral purpose endowment.

An increasingly popular form of deferred gift, which offers current income tax savings as well as estate tax advantages, is the life income gift. Prior to the decision of the College about four years ago to enter upon a program encouraging such gifts, there was just two in existence made directly with Trinity and a few known to have been established with banks or other trustees. Since the establishment of the program we have had 30 plans set up for a total market value of approxi­mately $677,000, including additions to 5 of the plans. Two of these gifts have since accrued to the College­approximately $24,000 from Emily Tenney Morgan for

a general purpose endowment fund in memory of her husband, Owen Morgan '06 and approximately $46,000 from John R. Cook '10 for Watkinson Library endow­ment and the Mildred Corson Cook general purpose endowment fund. Mr. Cook also left 30% of another life income trust with a bank as trustee (approximately $40,000) and his home (valued at $60,000) to the College.

In conclusion, our Committee rests upon the belief that nothing can be more lasting and meaningful to our beloved Trinity, as well as being a source of satisfaction to the donor, than a bequest or deferred gift, each according to his own individual circumstances. We hope that an increasing number of alumni and friends of the College will give this serious consideration.

A recently prepared brochure- Investment in the Future of Trinity College- covers in detail the sub­jects of deferred gifts and bequests. Alumni, parents and friends may obtain a copy by writing W. Howard Spencer, assistant director of development.

POLITICAL COMPATIBILITY

Council-Manager Government and N onpartisanism: Time for Revision

Presently pervading American society is a myth that the council-manager form of government and local political parties are incompatible. It is a tribute to those who have worked to establish this belief that it has gone unchallenged by comparative study for the past half century, the period of time in which the National Mu­nicipal League has endorsed the council-manager form and the nonpartisan election in its series of the Model City Charter.

This article examines the problem of council-manager government and nonpartisanism and makes a case for revision of the myth that the council-manager form and local political parties are incompatible.1

The article is concerned with Connecticut's experi­ences in council-manager government. Data for the paper were derived primarily from two sources : exten­sive interviews conducted by the writer with managers, councilmen, and leaders from both political parties; and, secondly, the writer's own experiences and obser­vations in local politics over a long period, as the result of having held appointive and elective positions and having been a delegate to party conventions.

Current attitudes toward local political parties are symbolized by the nonpartisan election, the history of which began with the reform movement in 1877 and included such other reform provisions as the initiative, recall, and referendum. The phrase, nonpartisan elec­tion, is generally defined as an election in which no party labels or symbols appear upon the ballot. Equally important with the lack of party identification is the nominating procedure, which frequently involves sub­mission of a petition, a run-off primary, and the general election . In communities holding nonpartisan elections, partisan activity is regarded as illegitimate.

1 During the period 1963-1965, Dr. McKee studied the politics of council-manager government in Connecticut and prepared com­prehensive, matched-pair case studies of three non-partisan communities (Hartford, Norwich and Winchester ) and three partisan communities (West Hartford, New London and Water­town). These studies became the basis of his doctoral disserta­tion, which was accepted by the University of Connecticut in June 1967. In September 1968, Dr. McKee won the Leonard D .

By CLYDE D. McKEE Assistant Professor of Government

Council-Manager Government According to Richard S. Childs, father of the council­

manager form and present chairman of the executive committee of the National Municipal League, the non­partisan election is now used in 64 percent of all Amer­ican cities over 5,000 in population. In council-manager systems, the figure is 85 percent.

Viewed in the light of these statistics, Connecticut, with its tradition of responsible party government at both state and local levels, appears as a unique political situation. Of the state's 169 cities and towns, twenty­four communities have the council-manager form, which is the state's fastest-growing local system of govern­ment. In 1965, only three of these communities used the nonpartisan election; yet in each of these nonparti­san communities, there was partisan activity to one degree or another. Since then, two of these three non­partisan communities have dismissed their managers and each has revised its charter so that local parties are now legitimate.

While Connecticut seems out of step with national statistics for local government, it is very much in step with a general movement for popular acceptance of the major political parties on a national basis. It is no accident that John M. Bailey, who has led the Demo­cratic Party in Connecticut for some twenty years, is the past national chairman of the Democratic Party.

Given these facts and possible trends, the author selected six Connecticut council-manager communities for comparative study. Three of the council-manager communities hold partisan elections; three, nonpartisan elections. In the study, special attention was given to population, location, age of the form of government, and charter provisions. Some of the more significant

Holder of B.A. and M.A.T. degrees from Wesleyan, Dr. McKee has been a member of the Department of Government since 1965.

7

findings of this comparative, matched-pair, case study project are reported below.

The first indication of the compatibility of the coun­cil-manager form of government with the partisan sys­tem came to the author when the city manager of a Connecticut community with partisan elections ex­plained, in an extended interview, why he liked political parties in his town. The manager had begun his career in another town, one which held nonpartisan elections, and came to fear local campaigns for elections to the city council because the role of the manager had always been an issue, to one extent or another. He had been manager in his Connecticut community only a short time before he experienced his first local partisan elec­tion. He approached the election with trepidation, first, because he was a new manager and, secondly, because of what he had been taught about local partisan elections.

The experience of the campaign, however, turned out to be different from what he had anticipated. Rather than being an issue, he was ignored completely by councilmen, party leaders, press, and civic groups. Recalling the experience, he said, "It was wonderful! I got more work done during the six weeks of that cam­paign than I did during any other time of the year." It was this response which led the author to hypothesize that city managers who have served successfully in both partisan and nonpartisan systems will tend to favor the partisan. Further research tended to confirm this proposition.

Effect on Decision-Making

After the author completed the first pair of matched case studies, it became apparent that the type of elec­tion influences the nature of the local decision-making. Although there are many facets to this particular phase of the study, one generalization is worth citing here: The partisan system tends to keep the process of deci­sion-making more public than does the nonpartisan system.

By more public, the author means that the makers of these decisions are institutionalized. Decisions are made by those who hold official positions recognized and accepted by the public. There are fewer figure­heads. Furthermore, important decisions are actually decided, rather than merely ratified in the council meeting. And, strangely enough, there is a type of ad­ministrative efficiency generated by the partisan system that is not present in the nonpartisan system. Examples will illustrate these points.

Nonpartisan Decision-Making

In one of the nonpartisan studies, the author found an elaborate system for the making of public decisions. Although local parties have no legitimate status in the nominating procedure of this particular nonpartisan community and candidates carry no party labels on the ballot, the Democratic Party plays a dominate role. It respects the nonpartisan features of the local system only to the extent that it does not endorse candidates until after the run-off primary. Then it backs the top six Democrats, leaving three positions for the Republi­cans, although there is little doubt that the Democratic

8

Party could take all nine positions on the council if it so desired. This strange tradition of illegitimate partisan activity has created a process by which decisions affect­ing the public fall into three distinct patterns.

The first step of pattern one involves interaction of the various Democratic ward leaders with the chairman of the Democratic Town Committee. The second step is taken when the party chairman meets with Demo­cratic councilmen in a restaurant near the city hall. This seems to be the most important step so far as Demo­cratic councilmen are concerned because it is here that issues are raised for consideration by the council, opin­ions are fully expressed, and official positions are taken.

This partisan dinner-meeting is open to the press, but only for background information. No reporter is permitted to publish any data be gets at this stage. Thus, few reporters attend because as one said, "What I hear is always important, but what good is it if I can't use it? Thus I have to dig up the same material indirectly."

Step three in this pattern is the pre-council meeting. Here Democratic councilmen meet with their Repub­lican colleagues (when there are any), the city mana­ger, and, from time to time, selected department heads. The councilmen interact to the extent that the Demo­crats state their views and the others respond. While no members of the general public are permitted to attend, the press again is given the opportunity for an off-the-record audience.

At this time, it is considered important that council­men express views which they intend to present in the open council meeting. As one councilman said, "Really, the executive council meeting is a good thing. None of us wants to look stupid or ill-prepared before the pub­lic. This way we know what the other fellows are going to say and we can prepare for it."

The final step in pattern one is the council meeting. Actually, the clue that such a pattern existed at all was revealed to the author while observing a meeting of the city council in the early stages of the case study. The council action seemed staged. While one councilman was speaking formally to the council, press, and th0 few members in the audience, other councilmen seemed a little bored and they often carried on side conversa­tions. Sometime later the author learned that they were bored because they had heard it all before.

The second pattern concerns the manager of the nonpartisan community who is on excellent terms with leaders of each partisan organization because be grew up with them as youngsters in the city being studied. However, to say be is "local" is not to imply that he is not a "professional" manager in the fullest meaning of the word. Because the partisan leaders and the manager respect one another, they see as little of each other as possible. The Democratic chairman explained to the author, "I know that he (the manager) has his job to do. Therefore, with studied care, I protect him by hav­ing as little contact with him as possible. It would hurt him if people saw us together."

Because the manager is cut off from the communi­cations system of the Democratic Party, he has had to develop his own techniques for assessing sentiment at

the neighborhood level. This is a highly sensitive matter with the manager. The latter indicated that he had no desire to discuss it further when he said, "I have my ways of finding out what is going on. When there is a hot issue like a zoning change or a proposed apartment house, I call those in the neighborhood who can give me the local reaction. And, of course, I take this senti­ment into account when I make my recommendations to the council."

While interviewing the manager in his office, the author observed the third pattern in operation. By chance it was Monday, which happened to be "Coun­cilmen's Day" in the city hall. Our interview was inter­rupted by a councilman who approached the manager with a list of written questions covering a number of topics in which this particular representative had an interest. In spite of the fact that the city had an at-large election along with the nonpartisan one, the councilman catered to the Italian ethnic groups in or near the ward in which he resided.

In his discussion with the manager, the councilman was particularly concerned about a street in need of repair. He indicated he had received several complaints and wanted to know what the manager could do about fixing the street immediately. The manager checked the street on the city map, studied the funds allocated in the program budget, and then informed the councilman that the street was scheduled to be completely repaved the following week. The councilman replied, "That's fine. Now I can tell them something definite. This will be something my people can see and appreciate. And it won't hurt at election time either."

Actually, final decisions are the resultant of all three of these patterns found in one nonpartisan system. However, it is important to realize that the nonpartisan election encourages individual councilmen to challenge the manager and, when they can get away with it, their own parties as well, in such ways as to focus attention upon themselves. Issues involving taxes or vice are par­ticularly attractive. On several occasions the Demo­cratic chairman has had to intercede at the second step to save the manager from considerable personal embarrassment.

Partisan Decision-Making

The partisan system which was compared on a matched basis with the nonpartisan form serves as a contrast. The outstanding feature in the partisan com­munity studied is the arrangement of majority and minority leaders for managing conflict in the city coun­cil. While this arrangement is completely outside pro­visions of the charter, it serves four main purposes:

1. It concentrates political leadership in that it puts the mayor as majority leader in the forefront of all policy-making. This particular mayor· was a prominent Republican who had his own office and secretary in the city hall. From his office, the mayor coordinated affairs of the local Republican Party with the party chairman, administrative matters with the city manager.

2. It distinguishes political and administrative issues into distinct but not inseparable patterns of decision­making. The political pattern involved a highly-organ-

ized and sophisticated party structure which was used for the processing of partisan issues. While this arrange­ment included consultation among various Republican members of the council, the mayor and the party chair­man exercise final control. Few, if any, councilmen attempted to develop personal followings outside the party organization, as was the case in nonpartisan sys­tem. Also, few councilmen were motivated to create artificial issues for personal aggrandizement. Council­men from both parties ran for election as a team on their party record.

The administrative pattern began with the manager, who had no particular need for a separate communica­tions system, as was the case with the manager in the nonpartisan system. Here the manager prepared the agenda for the council meeting and submitted it to the mayor as leader of the majority. The mayor re­viewed it and, after informal telephone conversations with the party chairman and Republican councilmen, selected those issues which he felt needed to be dis­cussed at the council meeting. The mayor then called the Democratic minority leader and read the entire agenda. The minority leader consulted with other Dem­ocratic councilmen and the party chairman, usually at a working lunch. Agreement was reached as to which matters should be debated before the council. Some­times various members were assigned topics for research and presentation.

3. The majority and minority leaders streamline the business of the council meeting. About 90 percent of the agenda concerned routine matters of little interest to the political parties. This made it possible for ma­jority and minority leaders to agree on those matters which would not be debated. The manager, department heads, and councilmen usually knew that most of the agenda would be passed unanimously without debate. In many cases, the manager was able to initiate action prior to formal approval by the council. With routine matters out of the way, the parties hammered out their partisan positions in the council meeting. Thus, because most of the business concerning the manager and his administration was removed from partisan concern, this system functioned theoretically like the nonpartisan system. This means the partisan system has fewer "political" issues than the nonpartisan system.

4. The majority leader concept encourages public decision-making. While all councilmen had prior knowl­edge of those issues which would be discussed, they were not informed as to the position of the opposition. Consequently, partisan competition took place openly in the arena of the council meeting. The author's inter­views with both Republican and Democratic council­men revealed that each side used the council meeting to build a record which could be used in the next local campaign. Because of this, the individual capabilities of the councilmen were frequently tested in real combat.

The Manager as a Leader

Because much literature concerning the council­manager form is devoted to the role of the manager as a leader, this became an important area of the author's study. The author found great variation in the attitudes

9

of city managers concerning their individual roles. One of the most revealing interviews was with a

manager who has now left the city manager profession. He was the first manager to serve in one of the six case studies. When asked to distinguish a "political" issue from one which was "administrative," he answered that in his opinion there were very few real political issues at the local level. Asked whether he considered the building of a new school a political issue, he re­plied, "Certainly not." The discussion then covered zoning changes, recreational facilities, and the city budget, all of which were defined as "administrative matters."

In great contrast was the attitude of another man­ager. It was his opinion that the city manager should have a sliding concept as to what is "political" and what is "administrative." When informed that one of his councilmen had defined "political" as "anything in which a councilman or active politician takes an inter­est," this manager agreed. He felt that the manager should always show deference to those holding elective office, that the role of the manager as a leader was restricted primarily to acting as an adviser to the coun­cil. However, be felt that all managers should be pre­pared to assume political leadership, namely the making of major public policy, whenever elected officials lacked either the will or ability to act in the best interests of the community.

After studying the concept of leadership in a num­ber of communities, the author was able to deduce several broad generalizations. First, while it is possible to distinguish "political" and "administrative" matters, this distinction must be restricted to a particular com­munity and particular issues. This is to say that while rubbish collection may never have been a political issue in one community, it may always be an issue in another. It may become a political issue any time a councilman or political leader wants to make it such.

Second, it soon became apparent that managers take more pride in being politicians than they do in being competent administrators. One relatively young man­ager of a large city said that he obtained his permanent appointment as manager because he was able to take on a local civil rights problem which was "too political for the council to handle." This manager's assessment of the situation was confirmed by some of his own councilmen and other city managers in neighboring communities. Another manager, when asked about the nature of his chief "political responsibilities," responded, "My main political responsibility is taking whatever action is necessary to establish the tradition of good council-manager government in this community." This same manager takes great pride in the fact that during the two years he had been in office as the city's first manager, all decisions of the partisan council have been unanimous, with the exception of political appoint­ments, an issue that always breaks along party lines.

Position of Interest Groups

There is ample evidence that certain types of interest groups benefit from the nonpartisan election while others prosper under partisanism. Generally, the local

10

newspapers have played prominent parts in establish­ing the council-manager form in Connecticut communi­ties. Some papers take great pride in being nonpartisan, while others take equal pride in favoring a particular political party. In a nonpartisan system, the theory holds that each candidate is on his own to create enough support to insure victory in the primary and general election. Thus, one would expect that candi­dates running for council in a nonpartisan system would be in greater need of the press than would be the case were there legitimate political parties.

Local papers, radio, and television stations do exer­cise more influence in a nonpartisan system than in the partisan. However, because nonpartisan candidates lack political support generated by the parties, less campaign money is raised. This means that less money is spent on political advertising. In short, the news media play a relatively less significant role in the parti­san system, but reap the benefits of greater profits from partisan advertising.

In one nonpartisan community, the charter stipulated that the councilman receiving the most votes in a gen­eral election was designated mayor.2 The previous mayor began his campaign by going to the editor of the newspaper with the largest local circulation and asking for editorial support. The editor, in turn, used the opportunity to gain certain commitments from the candidate. Having obtained these commitments, the newspaper gave the candidate its official endorsement, which carried him through the primary and general election, and into the office of mayor.

Chambers of Commerce prosper under the nonparti­san system because they frequently are called upon to provide the stability and leadership often lacking in their communities. Jaycees also assume major political responsibilities in the absence of legitimate political parties. However, neither the Chamber of Commerce nor the Jaycees is equipped to assume full responsibility for an intense political struggle or to provide the endur­ing political identification needed once the election is over.

Such minority groups as the NAACP suffer under nonpartisan elections. The author became interested in the activities of this Negro organization in two case studies. In one nonpartisan system, no Negro had ever run for elected office and only one had ever held an appointive position. In one of the partisan systems, the Republican Party in the last municipal election made a bid for the local Negro vote by supporting a Negro for election to the city council. Negroes held numerous positions in the past in this community.

The important factor here is to realize that the par­tisan system provides a type of institutionalized compe­tition which permits certain types of minority groups, be they racial or ethnic, to bid one political party against another. The political party is organized around the election and specializes in the market value of votes. The votes of minority groups are worth more when two well-organized blocs rather than nine splinter groups

2 Last year the voters in this community approved a charter change, which now provides for a Mayor who is elected sepa­rately and receives a substantial salary.

are bidding for them. In the nonpartisan system, the political structure is so informal and so concealed that organizations such as the NAACP seldom become politically involved because its members do not know how to get started.3

Position of Partisan Leaders

Just as managers who know the partisan system tend to favor it, so those party leaders who have worked with managers respect them for their technical compe­tence. One of the findings uncovered by the case studies is that the council-manager form tends to become a political issue in nonpartisan communities. A 1964 study by the International City Managers' Association, entitled, Council-Manager Abandonment Referendums, confirms this observation. As a general proposition for partisan systems, the more competitive the system, the more stable the form. As one manager puts it, "Neither of the parties would dare challenge the council-manager form here. It would be suicide. As soon as one side tried to make an issue of the manager, the other party would defend it, pick off the independent votes, and win the next election running away."

Perhaps the strongest evidence that partisan leaders have an appreciation for city managers was revealed in the author's interview with the former state chairman of one of Connecticut's major parties. The party chair­man made it quite clear he was convinced that compe­tition between the two major parties is essential for the preservation of America's most cherished values. However, when asked what he thought about the coun­cil-manager form, he said, "Oh, I think we have reached the stage where we must recognize that local govern­ments need the talents of well-trained, career-minded administrators." He then indicated that so-called non­partisan politics involved political activity of the worst sort.

Partisanism Creates Respect

Fundamental to any understanding of the politics of decisions of a city council is the realization that there are only two alternatives for resolving conflict. A mo­tion can only be passed or defeated. Thus, irrespective of whether the system is partisan or nonpartisan, some type of majority must be created for each decision. One would think that a partisan system would lead to party­line votes on nearly all issues, while the nonpartisan system would free the councilmen to vote their individ­ual consciences. Having observed numerous council meetings in each of the matched case studies, the author concludes that just the reverse tends to be true.

First, there are more unanimous decisions in the par­tisan than the nonpartisan system. When decisions are not unanimous, there is greater tolerance for minority views in the partisan than the nonpartisan system. Also, members of the partisan system have greater apprecia­tion for rules of procedure in conducting council meet­ings. Never once did the author see a partisan council-

3 /n the light of racial violence during the past two years plus the publication of the Report of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorder, this observation is probably no longer valid.

man denied the right to speak on an issue for any dura­tion, while the issue of germaneness of subject matter is frequently debated in the nonpartisan council. Finally, there is greater mutual respect among councilmen in the partisan system. The lack of mutual respect in the nonpartisan system was dramatically demonstrated in one Connecticut community when a councilman feared to go to the m~m's room because another councilman threatened to attack him as the result of a dispute involving dismissal of the manager.

Plea for Political Parties Local government and politics form the heart and

soul of the American political system. This country has a rich and valuable political heritage contributed by the major political parties. Yet, paradoxically, nonparti­sanism, guided by the National Municipal League, has spread at the local level throughout the country. Thus, while the two major national parties are gaining popular acceptance to the point that they are now considered indispensable for the maintenance of our federated sys­tem, there is little popular theory for the party to func­tion in the accepted local governmental forms.

Two solutions are recommended to change this situ­ation. The National Municipal League should abandon nonpartisanism and recommend the partisan election in its Model City Charter. Secondly, the International City Managers' Association and partisan leaders should rec­ognize the inherent compatibility of council-manager government and the local political party. While the council-manager form gives efficient government, only the partisan organization can provide the leadership nec­essary for preservation of America's political heritage.

SPORTS SCENE

It was quite a fall for the Bantam soccer and football teams.

For the fourth time in five years, Trinity dominated New England intercollegiate soccer and received a bid for post-season play in the NCAA national tournament.

Roy Dath's 17th team finished the season a winner, as have all the others, but this time the Bantam hooters finished the regular season 9-1, the best since the 19 56 record of 8-0. It was also the eighth Dath-coached eleven to miss an undefeated season by one game.

The football team also set some marks along the way to a 6-2 finish, the second straight winner under Coach Don Miller. Junior quarterback Jay (they call him The Bird) Bernardoni, set a national record with 17 straight completions. He hit the last 15 against the Coast Guard (all in the first half) and completed the first two against Amherst to erase the old NCAA mark of 16. He might have done it all against the Cadets, but Don Miller and Company wisely used reserves for the entire second half after Trinity ran up a 33-0 margin in the first 28 min­utes of the game.

All-New England end Ron Martin, capped a fine career with 120 completions, a regional record despite the fact that he missed most of the Amherst game and all of the Wesleyan game because of a knee injury.

And sophomore halfback Dave Kiarsis ran off 818 yards in the last seven games to become second only to

Charlie Sticka '56 (900 yards- set also as a sopho­more) among Trinity's rushing leaders.

The soccer team ripped off eight straight victories, which equals the 8-0 record of the 1956 National Champions, before stumbling against Amherst, losing, 1-0. It was a heartbreaker as Trinity dominated most of the play and saw the only goal scored on a freak play. Later the Bantams rallied and scored but were offside on the play. The team rebounded and handed Wesleyan a 1-0 defeat to complete the regular season.

The strength of this team was that it had a number of good players and no super star. Twice the Dathmen rallied to come from behind and defeat a strong op­ponent.

The trio of Alan Gibby ( 1969 captain-elect), Peter Wiles and Marty Williams combined for a total of 18 goals and 17 assists, while George Romain, Abdillahi Haji, and Dave Beatty added 15 goals and 6 assists to keep opponents wondering whom to guard.

The defensive unit, which limited opponents to 11 goals in 10 contests, was headed by Roy Blixt, Ron Megna, Dan Seltzer, Jeff Clark, Charles Wright, goalie Bob Loeb, Don Johnson and captain Roger Richard, who received the PeterS. Fish MVP Award. John Rob­son, a forward, received the Harold R. Shetter Most Improved Player Award.

The highlight of the football season has to be the

Next year's captain-elect Jay Bernardoni '70 (left), who broke Trinity and NCAA pass completion records, and his favorite receiver, Rr.m Martin '69, who also etched his name in the record book.

Wesleyan game. Both clubs entered the contest 5-2 on the season with Wesleyan "up" by a victory at Williams the week before, while Trinity was nursing injuries and a thumping by Amherst the previous Saturday.

It was a cold , damp day at Middletown. Only about 4,000 braved the elements to see the annual battle, in­cluding about 1,500 Trinity fans .

Wesleyan dominated most of the first half and were leading 10-0 with a few minutes to go. Trinity had the ball on its own 20 and, behind Bernardoni and Kiarsis, engineered a drive deep into Wesleyan territory. But time was running out.

With 23 seconds to go Bernardoni threw a pass away to stop the clock. With no time outs left he gave the ball to Kiarsis to carry it in from the four. But Dave was stopped on the one.

There had been no huddle and no play planned. It was a team reaction and it paid off. Trinity came back in the second half and scored early to take a 13-1 0 lead, built it to 19-10, and then held on as Wesleyan retaliated. The Bantams finally won it, 19-17.

It was the third straight victory for Trinity over Wes­leyan and the second time in three years that Trinity had come back in the second half to deny Wesleyan a

victory which it seemed to have. In 1966 the Bantams had rallied from 0-12 to win it in the second half 20-18 and give Dan Jessee his 150th victory and all the honors that followed including Small College Coach of the Year.

Individually, several players were cited for their play during the year. ECAC (Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference) first team selections of the week went to: center Barry Sheckley (twice), quarterback Jay Ber­nardoni (twice), Dave Kiarsis and defensive tackle and end Tom Duncan. Other nominations went to captain and middle linebacker Mike Cancelliere ( 4 nomina­tions); halfback Web Jones; end Ron Martin (twice); Kiarsis (three times); Jay Bernardoni, halfback Mike James, and defensive halfbacks Dan Battles, and George Matava.

Center Barry Sheckley received the Dan Jessee Blocking Award at the post-season banquet, while mid­dle linebacker Mike Cancelliere received The Class of 1935 MVP trophy.

Gold football and soccer balls, awarded to recipients of three varsity letters in one sport, were presented to (in football) defensive halfback Dan Battles, guard and defensive end Tom Duncan, linebacker Harold Gifford, linebacker Stephen Hopkins, end Ron Martin, tackle William Melcher and center Barry Sheckley. Soccer balls went to halfback Roger Richard, goalie Robert

Loeb, inside left Don Johnson and center forward Michael Beautyman.

In all a total of 61 varsity letters were awarded, 37 in football, 18 in soccer and six in cross country. A total of 53 freshman numerals were awarded, 30 in football, 17 in soccer and six in cross country.

The varsity teams finished with a record of 16-9 (soccer, 9-1 football 6-2 and cross country 1-6).

FOR THE RECORD Each fall is heard an occasional cry, "Why

wasn't the Trinity game in my Sunday paper?" For the record, The New York Times printed a game story on each of Trinity's eight games . . . three reports making the first edition which is really a scramble. In some oth.er papers, notably Philadelphia, the scores were missing on several games. One alumnus determined from an editor that the scores weren't being sent by the wire service. This information helped and steps could then be taken. There is no grand plot by sports editors outside of Cpnnecticut to keep Trinity scores out of the paper and a friendly call from an alumnus can usually produce results. Let us know of any holdups so we can make adjustments where needed.

CAMPUS NOT ES The 1968-69 Student Speakers' Bu­

reau brochure states: "The Bureau offers to the Greater Hartford Community -athletes, art critics, movie buffs, musi­cians, travelers - all prepared to speak enthusiastically to large groups, small groups, mature audiences, high school and pre-high school groups.

"Founded three years ago by Michael Mermey '67 in an effort to help the Hart­ford community realize some of the benefits of having Trinity College at its doorstep, and to provide Trinity stu­dents with an opportunity to take their special interests to the off-campus com­munity, the Students Speakers' Bureau has grown steadily in size, consisting now of more than 40 undergraduates. Last year, members of the Bureau pre­sented over 150 programs."

A review of the titles of some of the offerings available indicates the diversity of these special interests- "Riding the Surf" "The Turtle World " "Conversa­tion~ in Jazz," "Iran in' the Modern World," "U.S. Foreign Policy: A . View from the New Left," "Weather," "Ghosts: Fact or Fiction," "The Art of Steeple­chasing," etc., etc.

Present director of the Student Speak­ers' Bureau is Joel M. Goldfrank '69.

A cooperative computer study pro­gram, to determine how colleges and universities can best apply computer technology in a manner consistent with growing needs and available resources, has been initiated by the University Re­search Institute of Connecticut, Inc., (URIC). Trinity is one of 10 Connecti­cut colleges and universities associated with URIC, a non-profit organization currently headed by Edwin P. Nye, Hall­den Professor of Engineering. The ini­tial project will include an analytical study of present and projected computer service needs for the institutions, indi­vidually and collectively, for all business, administration, education and research computer applications.

A Music Repertory Workshop for young people residing in the Central Connecticut area, and who now perform on stringed, wind., brass or percussion instruments, will be conducted on Sun­day afternoons in the Austin Arts Center. The Workshop- referred to as a "new concept in musical experience"- will be conducted under the direction of Baird Hastings, director of instrumental music at the College. The initial repertory will in­clude reading a masterpiece during the weekly open rehearsal to be chosen from compositions by Beethoven, Schubert, Tschaikovsky, Bizet, Dvorak, Haydn, Mozart, H andel , Mussorgsky and various modern composers. Eight rehearsals are currently planned.

REUNION 1969

Reunion and Commencement will be held during the same week­end in 1969, May 30 -June 1. The action was voted at the an­nual meeting of the executive committee of the National Alumni Association on November 8.

This reversal of a decision three years ago to hold Reunion the weekend following Commence­ment reflected a widespread pref­erence among alumni to combine the two activit ies, long a custom at the College. It is expected that the change in Reunion timing for the coming year will increase at­tendance which has sharply de­creased during the two years that the separation from Commence­ment was in effect.

What of the future?

The decision to revert to the previous practice of combining Reunion and Commencement on the same weekend will not neces­sarily extend beyond 1969. There are arguments, for instance, for holding Reunion in the fall when classes are in session. And there may be just as valid and persuasive arguments for holding Reunion at some other time of the year.

An alumni committee has been formed to study the problem and to make recommendations for the future. All interested alumni are urged to communicate their ideas and suggestions to John A. Mason, alumni secretary, who will relay them to the committee.

In the meantime, mark the dates of May 30, 31 and June 1 on your calendar- they are the dates of the 1969 Reunion.

Members of the 1969 Reunion Committee are: I rving E . Par­tridge '19; Michael L. D aly '24; Morris J. Cutler '29; Earl H. F lynn and Richard S. Hart '39; Gustave W. Andrian '40; William B. Starkey '44 (Chairman); Ray­mond J. Moylan '54; Louis R. Magelaner '55; and James T. Canivan '59.

The 1968 World Almanac, a reference book rarely to be disputed lists the enrollment of Trinity College as 1,545, perhaps accurate when the edition went to press. As of the October 15 report from the Registrar's Office, the current

enrollment is 1,834- undergraduate stu­dents, 1,296 - graduate students, 538 (which includes 41 undergraduates tak­ing advanced courses).

The Freshmen Class, accounting for 26.39% of the undergraduate body, num­bers 342. There are 333 sophomores, 308 juniors, and 293 seniors. In addition, five are listed as "irregular seniors," 11 as "special," and there are four fifth-year engineering students.

In the section of the report dealing with "majors," history is the most popu­lar undergraduate major subject ( 115 students). Others, in order of popularity, are: English (94), biology (80), govern­ment and psychology (56 each), eco­nomics (52), mathematics (31), religion (27), engineering (24), fine arts (18), philosophy (16), chemistry ( 11), mod­ern languages (9), physics (8), classics (7), and music (5). Six students have double majors.

As to geographical distribution, 41 states and the District of Columbia are represented. Twenty countries around the world are represented by 25 foreign nationals: Canada, China, Dominican Republic, England, France, Gambia, Germany, Greece, Haiti, Iran, Ireland, I a pan, Kenya, Malaysia, Panama, Po­land, Portugal, Sweden, Wales and West Pakistan.

On the graduate level, education is the most popular field among the 538 enrollees, with 109 students. Other courses, in order of popularity, include: mathematics (93), economics (79), Eng­lish (66), government (50), history (48), physics (39), French or Spanish (35), and philosophy (20).

Men registrants in the evening pro­gram outnumber the women, 369 to 169. About half of tho e attending are work­ing, or plan to work toward a master's degree. The others are taking a course without necessarily applying it toward a degree requirement.

There was a revolution on the Trin­ity campus this fall!

The "revolt" took place on six suc­cessive Tuesdays during October and No­vember. And it was arranged by house­wives.

In this case, the revolution was the theme of a lecture series entitled "Town­Gown Forum," sponsored by the wives of Trinity alumni, faculty, administra­tors and friends. The volunteer commit­tee was headed by Mrs. Oliver Johnson.

The theme of the forum was "20th Century- Century of Revolution," and topics included revolutions in general, revolutions in the West and non-Western countries, in art, arch itecture, literature and drama. Faculty members who par­ticipated included, Dr. George B. Cooper, Dr. Rex C. Neaverson, Dr. H. McKim Steele, Dr. Jerrold Ziff and John A. Dando.

NEW HAVEN The Eighteenth Annual Get-Together

for entering freshmen of the Class of 1972 was held at the Woodbridge home of Olga and Ray Montgomery '25, on September 5th, from 4:00 P.M. to 7:30 P.M. There were 49 in attendance in­cluding eight incoming freshmen and seven fathers, 22 Alumni, and one under­graduate, Brian Titus '69, former star halfback on the football team. As is customary with the New Haven group, nine exceptionally fine prospects for the Class of 1973 were special guests. Among them were three football men (men­tioned first only because it's that time of year), including an AU-State center, All­District fullback and a fleet halfback; also a fine swimmer, two baseball men, a good musician (trumpet), a track man and a budding journalist. All are good students, rating high in their respective classes and the SATs.

Peter Lawler is at his home in Bur­lington, Vt., gradually recovering from a stroke which he suffered while in Florida. He retired from the active prac­tice of medicine and his position as dean of the medical school a couple of years ago.

A card has been received from Joe Ehlers, who is visiting Iceland. He said that he had just returned from the north coast and fjords, swimming in hot rivers and lots of strange sights.

It has been assumed by some that there would be no more class reunions after the fiftieth, and those who returned to college would meet with the Immortals. However, it has been suggested by sev­eral that we have a 55-year reunion and a dinner by ourselves. We would be very glad to hear what classmates think of this idea.

By the way, class day will be unusually early this year, so mark down the date, May 31st, and plan to come back to the campus.

After attending service at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, where they were married, at 3:30 that after­noon, they will then go to the home of their son at 878 Carroll St., Brooklyn, to receive whoever comes. Any members of the Class of '15 would be welcome.

Your Secretary is suffering from "non­extractobitis" meaning that he has a pretty awful time extracting news from the great majority of you wonderful fel­lows. The few tidbits which follow are much appreciated. How can I inspire more of you men to communicate?

In May, George Ferris was awarded an honorary LL.D. degree at the 104th Commencement of Gallaudet College. He was honored specifically for his con­tributions to the education and welfare of the deaf, and for his charitable, civic, educational activities in other areas. George is the fourth member of our Class to receive a doctorate.

You will recall that Lloyd Miller re­tired a few years ago to Ogdensburg, New York, an old stamping ground of Mrs. Miller. He reports, via Jack Town­send, that through the church, the Power Squadron, and Mrs. Miller's friends, he has made many friends and begins to feel like an old resident.

On September 19th Your Secretary was honored at a testimonial dinner in recognition of 20 years association with Mental Retardation in Connecticut.

Rod Pierce, in retirement at Lahaska, Pennsylvania, finds it pleasant to be freed from innumerable, vexatious details of parish administration. However, he feels that it is often a mistake to put some quite arbitrary figure on the date of re­tirement. He cites the Hastings Law School in San Francisco where no mem­ber of the faculty is under 65, and sev­eral of whom have been heads of other law schools. '

As you will note elsewhere in this Alumni Magazine, Charlie Plummer left us on July 21st. This fine lad will always be remembered for his great sense of humor and unlimited enthusiasm.

Jack Townsend continues to be my best correspondent, writing of late from his Kerrville, Texas, home. This time he reports the birth of a great-grandchild and wonders if there are any other great­grandparents from our Class. Here is a challenge for some of you to speak up who have been bashful heretofore.

Most of our 1918 Classmates have re­tired from active business or profession and are enjoying the rewards of their la­bors. A few still prefer to carry on with gainful employment, feeling that they are too young to take to the green pastures. In this group, we find Ed Carlson, Wool­sey Pollock, Charlie Simonson, ''Lippy" Phister, with his law practice, Abe Silver­man, ditto, and Mel Title, keeping a re­laxed eye on his insurance brokerage business now actively run by his son. Mel also has become one of the leading hard workers for Trinity, as chairman of the Alumni Fund last year.

Henry Beers, aside from successfully completing his assignment as chairman of the Ford Challenge fund-raising cam­paign, and serving as a Life Trustee of Trinity, is active in other charitable and cultural organizations and finds time to travel extensively. He and his wife, Dorothy, spent a month in Germany this summer, making good use of the Ger­man lessons which they had taken dur­ing the spring.

Charlie Beach and wife, Thora, spent several weeks on Nantucket and visiting brother Joe at Chatham on Cape Cod.

Joe Buffington and Frances cruised in the Caribbean during July, while Mel Shulthiess enjoyed a tour of the north­west U.S. and adjacent Canadian prov­inces. Mel and Franchon Title visited the Greek isles, we hear.

Jim Caldwell is very active in Boca Raton, as president of the hospital and chairman of its fund-raising project. In­cidentally, Jim has twelve or thirteen grandchildren, which is probably "tops" for the Class. (Contenders for the honor will please write.)

Dave "Dick" Gaberman migrated to Hartford from his Florida home in Miami to get away from the heat. We trust that his apartment was air-con­ditioned.

Russ Hatheway, who enjoys farming on his estate in West Hartford, reports that the strawberry crop was very dis­appointing, due to the cold wet weather in June.

Ed Murray writes that his three sons now run his insurance and real estate business in Cheyenne, while be relaxes at Holmes Beach, Florida. Ed is having troubl~ ~ith his eye:>, unfortunately, necessitatmg an operation for cataracts. Good luck, Ed!

Vincent Potter reports that his son Bob, finished his courses at the Hartford Seminary Foundation this June and was to receive his Doctorate. Vincent and his wife had their usual interesting trip to Europe last winter. They traveled ex­tensively in Spain and visited Palma de Majorca, then went to Portugal then to Switzerland for their annual visit.

Ham Barber writes that Stan Leeke spent the winter at Treasure Island only about twenty miles from Ham's pl~ce at Belleair Beach. They got together occa­sionally for fishing and in the spring to see some baseball games on the "Grape­fruit Circuit." Last March, Irv Partridge dropped in for an unexpected and pleas­ant visit.

Irv Partridge received the annual award for Americanism from the B'nai B'rith at a meeting in Monticello, N.Y., last May.

Plans are being readied for our 50th, next May 30, 31, and June 1st. Save the dates. More later. lrv Partridge has agreed to serve as reunion chairman and already is hard at work. You will hear from him.

It was a small but spirited group that attended the 45th Reunion. Present were: Walt Canner, §ereno Gammell, Martin Gaudian, Stan Miller, Ab Newton, Paul Norman, the Bob Hartts, Ike Newells, Hal Smiths and Jim Calanos. At the Saturday Field House festivities, we were honored by the presence of the Fred Hinkels '06, Herb Nobles '26 and the perennial Freddy Tansill '22. It was our table that cheered the loudest when Glover Johnson '22, was awarded the covetous Eigenbrodt Trophy. We wound up the Class Dinner at the University Club with an informal discussion of the campus problems but decided to yield to Dr. Lockwood the opportunity to solve them.

During the class meeting, two resolu­tions were passed: the first, commending the fight and courage of Fred Bowdidge to regain his health; and the second thanking all Classmates who afforded Reunion Chairman, Gammell, the cour­tesy of a reply to his reunion letters.

Doc Luke Celentano moderated a can­cer research program on WNHC-TV (Channel 8) last April, sponsored by the Conn. State Medical Society. Doc who practices in New Haven, is the pe~sonal physician of Mayor Richard C. Lee of that city. Ike Newell has been elected to the Board of Trustees of the Hartford Conservatory (of Music) for a three­year term. Sereno Gammell was one of three Hartford Times editorial writers announced by the Conn. State Medical Society as first place winners of its 1968 Conn. Medical Press Awards. Bishop Connie Gesner reports that the Rt. Rev. Lyman Ogilby, the second son of the late President Ogilby and Honorary D .D. '54 Trinity, has been named his Bishop Co­adjutor of South Dakota.

Bob Hartt does ten toe-touching exer­cises (standing up) , ten sit-ups and ten push-ups every morning. He claims that's how he maintains his old football weight of 160 lbs. I do more than that down at the Y.M.C.A., but I'm still quite rotund. I just don't understand it!

Ken Smith, one of America's All-Time Greats of Sportswriting, was honored at this year's Baseball Hall of Fame induc­tion ceremonies at Cooperstown, N.Y., when he accepted the Spink Award on behalf of the late Damon Runyon. Ken started his career during his college days with the Hartford Courant, reporting "goings-on" at Trinity. After college, he worked in New York for the now defunct Daily Mirror, covering baseball. There's hardly a baseball man, player or front office, with whom Ken is not on a first name basis. After the Mirror collapsed, Ken was named director of the Baseball Hall of Fame. During his active writing days, he was secretary of the Baseball Writer's Association for many years.

George Malcolm-Smith, we under­stand, is semi-retired and working on another "Who Done It."

Dick and Betty Noble made their annual pilgrimage to visit with their daughter, Nancy, and family, at Mercer Island, Seattle, Washington.

Twenty-six runs the gamut of human emotions, and again expresses its deepest sympathy and prayerful love to the fam­ily of Adolph Taute of New York City whom we lost August 17th. We are also saddened to learn of the loss we all suf­fered in the passing of Frank R. Aikin, September 26th, in Lenox, Mass.

"Congratulations" and "Seven Trins" to Dick Ford. Your Classmates and all your Trinity friends are deeply and just­ly proud of the fine job you have ac­complished in your very special field and also, congratulations on your well-earned retirement after 42 years of service with LlAMA and its predecessor, the Life In­surance Sales & Research Bureau -longer than any other staff member in the history of the two organizations. Honorary Trustee of the Noah Webster Fund, which restored Noah Webster's birthplace in West Hartford; vice-presi­dent of the Antiquarian & Landmarks Society of Connecticut, and editor of The Connecticut AntiQ; trustee of Sand­wich, N.H., Historical Society and chairman of the Trustees of the Quimby Fund for the benefit of Sandwich where Dick summers. The week of September 16th in San Francisco, Dick was pre­sented a testimonial plaque for Recogni­tion in Quality and Achievement in hon­oring his work in connection with National Quality Award.

19

Dick, associated with the Interna­tional Cooperative Research Organization, joined the LISRB as a consultant and, after LlAMA was created, was named assistant director of the Company Rela­tions D ivision in 1948. He assumed di­rectorship of all field publications in 1953. Dick was the first and only editor of the Current Practices, one of the most widely read newsletters in the industry among life insurance executives.

Last July at the Greenbier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, class counselor Fred Celentano was presented with the Defense Research Institute's Award for his outstanding contribution to improved justice through the DRI pro­gram. Congratulations, Fred!

Andy and Ann Forrester enjoyed a summer jaunt up in the environs of Nova Scotia and report on a pleasant trip in spite of the unseemingly hot weather.

Official changes in addresses include Askel E. Gravengaad to 225 Nova Al­bion Way, San Rafael, California, and Rev. Paul D. Wilbur to Old Harbour Road, Chatham, Massachusetts. Word has been received that he is now acting rector of St. Christopher's Church in Chatham. Our one and only general, Fred Ammerman apparently didn't find Oakland, California, much to his liking as we learn he is now back in Texas at 2801 Richmond, in El Paso. Surely would be nice if these three, as well as several others whom we haven't seen in years, could join with us reunion-time.

2 8 Royden C. Berger 53 Thomson Road West Hartford, Conn. 06107

From Scott Alford, we learn that he has thirteen grandchildren, which we suspect is a Class record. One of them entered Trinity as a freshman this fall. Bill Even told us that he has retired and spends part of each year in Watch Hill, R.I., and part in LaJolla, California. Sherm Beers had traveled the farthest at reunion- he came from San Francisco. ·

Others attending our Fortieth were Ron Condon, Chili Jackson, who had to leave so early that T missed seeing him, Henry Moses, Bill Rosenfeld, Lou Rul­nick, chairman of the event, George Saliske, and myself.

Nick Mastronarde, who lives in Los Angeles, was unable to attend, but wrote a letter asking that I convey his regards and best wishes to the Class. He also told about meeting Bill Even on a beach in LaJolla and how they recognized each other instantly even though they hadn't met for 40 years. The truth is, neither has aged a bit.

Activities on the campus and our din­ner at the University Club helped make the reunion a very pleasant affair, and I wish more could have been present.

We have but sad news for the class of 1930. Phil Cornwell died in late August after an illness of several months. Fred Cooper died suddenly in early Septem­ber. Their obituaries appear elsewhere in this issue. Both served with distinction in their respective professions; Phil in medi­cine, and Fred in the ministry. A deep sense of loss at their passing is tempered by one of pride in their achievements.

Congratulations to Harry Dever who bas been elected a vice president of Bankers Trust Co. He is in the Rocke­feller Center office and joined the bank in 1936, became assistant treasurer in 1958; and assistant vice president in 1959.

I believe that all that attended our 35th Reunion would agree that it was one of the most pleasant that we have had at the College. Much of this was due to combining with the Class of '34, and the arrangements of John Mason '34

for our joint Class Reunion. Our Re­union Headquarters was in the Faculty Club, and our dinner Saturday evening, in Hamlin Dining Hall. Among those of '33 who attended were: Angelo Antonussi; Walter Adams and his wife; the Simon Bemsteins; Jack Campion; the Tom Careys; the Jack Cotters (incidentally, Jack did a good job as toastmaster at the dinner); Bill Coyle; the Dick Eichackers; Ken Graham; George Ogg, our Florida bachelor; the Ed Sivaslians; and the writer and his spouse. Phil Acquaviva and Paul Christensen made an appear­ance on Friday evening. Herb Bell was unable to come, as his daughter was graduating from Bowling Green; Jack Leo, his wife and daughter were all set to come, and then he was detained in New York on business and could not make it. Jack Tracy, one of our hard­working members of the committee, was detained from coming at the last mo­ment due to an illness in the family; Marv Prutting had to attend a meeting in New York which conflicted with the Reunion, and Tom Wadlow was in charge of some sailing races off New London that weekend. Bill Egan sent a card saying he had to be in Las Vegas that particular weekend. Also, what made the affair pleasant was that '34 in­vited faculty members who had been with us when we were in College.

The Hartford County Bar Association marked its !85th Anniversary recently and saluted our Classmate, John P. Cotter, with a special citation for meri­torious service to the State.

To bring you up to date on the busy family of Bill Coyle, here is some news about them. Bill, Jr., is in his third year at Williams; Ann will be back home after a year abroad at the University of Paris, majoring in French, and has re­turned for her senior year at Mount Holyoke; son, Warren, who won the high school wrestling championship in the 103-lb. class, started at Gettysburg this September; two girls are married; an­other girl is in junior high; one boy in high school and another boy in elemen­tary school. We hope to get one of the remaining two boys at Trinity.

Zeke Melrose has resigned as principal of Weaver High School and is now prin­cipal of the Bulkeley High School, which brings him closer to the campus.

34 John A. Mason Trinity College Summit Street Hartford, Conn. 06106

Our 34th reunion last June was not an attendance first, but our costumes, de­signed by that artist Gus Uhlig brought many accolades from the bystanders.

Lead by class prexy, Chuck Kingston, and college reunion chairman, Ed Craig, we all had a good time. Seen 'Neath the Elms were Harold and Winie Bayley; Hoff Benjamin; Ed Craig; Joe Flynn; Charlie Fritzon; Gene Gane; John and Betty Goddard; Bill Jackson; John Kelly; Chuck and Helen Kingston; John and Phyllis Mason; Joe and Isabel Merriam; Andy Onderdonk; Frank Remkiewicz; Ray and Maureen Rosenfield; Ben and Edna Shenker; Seymour and Mazzie Smith; Don and Inez Snowdon; Charlie and Ruth Tucker; and Gus and Irene Uhlig. Who did J miss? Illness prevented Sam and Harriet Coale from coming.

Sam had quite a siege, but is now play­ing tennis and visiting Bermuda. The Vahan Ananikians had paid the fee, but forgot. Ah, the gay newly weds!

The Class dinner with 1933 in Hamlin Dining Hall at College was most pleas­ant. John Butler '33 arranged for an able student bar tender and planned a deli­cious menu. Judge Jack Cotter '33 was toastmaster.

'34 invited all of "our" faculty and we were delighted to see Dr. and Mrs. Haroutune Dadourian; Mrs. Thurman Hood; Mrs. Vernon Krieble; Dr. and Mrs. Sterling Smith; Professor and Mrs. Ray Oosting; Dr. Louis Naylor, whose story of the cow in the College Chapel is most droll; and Dr. and Mrs. Clarence Watters. Professor and Mrs. Troxell sent regrets; Professor and Mrs. Dan Jessee had just left for Venice, Florida; and Dr. and Mrs. Means were ill.

Your Secretary has heard some disen­chanted comment about this reunion not coming on a "fifth" year, and it has been sugges.ted that 1934 hold a Class dinner next May 31st at the regular college re­union at Commencement. Your Secre­tary would welcome comment, and would be glad to discuss the same with the Class President, Class Agent and others of high esteem.

A fine letter from Joe Merriam tells of his joy at being back at Trinity for re­union.

To conclude our '34 reunion, a most enjoyable splash party and brunch was held at Helen and Chuck Kingston's home. Many thanks prexina and prexy.

Congratulations to Bill Ewing who has been elected a judge on the Circuit Court of Connecticut. We trust that none of '34 will have to appear before him while he wears his judicial robes.

Jerry Arnold writes that the arrival of Jerome Makoto Arnold last April 15 has brought many new joys and few wor­ries. Congratulations to Kazuko and Jerry.

Fred Bashour has retired as principal of Bulkeley High School, Hartford. He joined the school's staff in 1947 as a math teacher. In 1949 he was named vice principal and, ten years later, principal. May you have a well-deserved and long retirement, Fred.

Another educator who has retired from the Hartford public school system after 32 years is Charlie Bierkan. He also was at Bulkeley High for the past 15 years as chairman of the social studies department, and before that at Northwest Jones School. Charlie is now curator of the historic old State House in Hartford which was built in 1796. His job will include running the building and doing research aimed at the restoration of the House of Representatives room on the second floor and the old court room on the first floor.

Stu Cowles delivered the baccalaureate address last May 13 when his daughter, Mary, graduated from Chillicothe, Mo., high school.

Bill Henebry's son, Brendan, married Miss Elizabeth Chambless of Simsbury, Conn., May 3rd. Bill took a flying vaca­tion this summer to New Zealand.

The news last August that Bert Hol­land was forced to resign as president of Hobart College was most distressing. In a little over two years he had done much for the Geneva, N.Y., institution. We wish Bert every success in whatever he

decides to undertake- which we know won't be retirement.

Elliott Mayo is president of the Water­bury Medical Society, and still main­tains a busy private ,ractice.

In July he was appointed head of the Trav­elers corporate actuarial and control functions with the title of senior vice president and actuary. On September 14th his son, Lt. Malcolm S. Smith, married Alice C. Streeter in the College Chapel. In October, "Smitty" was ap­pointed to the 18-member advisory board for the National Insurance Devel­opment Program.

Our sympathy goes to Bruce Schneider whose wife, Pearl, was killed in a plane crash near Lebanon, N.H., October 25.

Dr. Charlie Tucker visited Zagreb, Yugoslavia, September 1-7, to give a course in reconstructive surgery of the nose. He lectured, taught and operated during the day, while the evenings were filled with receptions and banquets. After touring the country, Ruth and Charlie spent 10 days in and around Athens.

Your Secretary also traveled. After 22 years, he moved his bride and her dogs from 17 Arnoldale Road, West Hartford, to 564 West Avon Road, Avon, Conn. 06001. As the bard said - one move is worth three fires.

Col. John Donley has moved to Rte #1, Box 69-A, St. Augustine, Fla., 32064. He has retired from the U.S. Air Force.

Coates Coit has moved from 425 South Oakland Ave. to 927 Cornell Road, Pasadena, Cal. 91106.

A very pleasant summer and fall has gone into Father Time's diary and Your Secretary hopes all his fellow '35ers are starting to think about the '35th.

Shed McCook commented briefly on a trip to Bermuda which included a visit to Terry Mowbray. He reports Terry in great shape. Shed goes on to say that he has been reelected chairman of the Old

Lyme Republican Town Committee. Your correspondent had hoped to see Shed during the summer but circum­stances decreed otherwise.

Various mailings from John Mason show that we keep moving around and around. Barry Jennings made an intra­Manassas, Va. move as did Ross Bissell in Toledo, and Gardner Boothe Jr., in New York City, while Denny Farnell changed his residence from Avon down to East Hampton, Conn.

Our sympathies go to the family of Walter Hoddinott, who died July 26th.

Another sad note is the death of Charles Tuckerman Chapin who died in Canton, Mass., February 23, 1968.

I report on the promotion of Harry Olson to secretary of claims at the Hart­ford Life Insurance Company, an affil­iate of the Hartford Insurance Group. The slug line read "Hartford Life Ad­vances Olson." An obvious error as it should have read 'Olson Advances Hart­ford Life." While John Mason had ad­vised me of this formally, in a recent letter Harry passed it off as trivia. Hmm! Harry also writes mysteriously of Chap­pie Walker's age. He should know as they both served in the same regiment at San Juan Hill under Teddy. Harry and family spent some time in Vermont dur­ing the summer and were planning a Sep­tember business/pleasure trip. The Olsons also popped about on Pennsylvania and Ohio college campuses for their daughter Marilyn who will be college-bound in 1969. Congratulations on the promotion, Harry.

Your Secretary is now 'moonlighting" on weekends in the real estate business with Hartwell Associates of London­derry, New Hampshire, and enjoying it immensely.

Ollie Johnson, entrepreneur and man of many talents, tied for second place in the Annual Duplicate Bridge Pairs Tour­nament held by the University Club of Hartford. I quote "The winners were rewarded with traditional and exhilarat­ing prizes and will have their names pre­served for admiration by posterity on the bridge plaque." Wow! I guess those noon-hour games in the Commons back in 1931-1935 have paid off. A further report announces the marriage of Judy Johnson to Anthony Busch, September 7th.

Congratulations to Bill Walker who was elected Assistant Secretary of the New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Company of Trenton. Bill has an impos­ing list of accomplishments in the busi­ness world and the Hopewell, N.J. com­munity.

Dr. C. Duncan Yetman ("Charlie" to some of us), principal of Hartford Pub­lic High School, recently captured head­lines by his action to disband the high school's rifle club out of deference to those who seek stricter control over the use of firearms. He bravely asserted that the times demanded such action, although he was not opposed to the club's continuation under private sponsorship.

Gus Andrian, after a busy session of summer school at old Trin, enjoyed a trip with his family to Jamestown and Wil­liamsburg.

Ted Knurek, head coach of the Weaver High School football team, was chosen the District No. 1 Football Coach of the Year by the National High School Ath­letic Coaches Association. The Associa­tion considers Ted the outstanding coach in an area including the New England States, New York, New Jersey and Penn­sylvania.

During his six years as Weaver coach Ted's teams have won 35 games, lost 11 and tied 4. They were undefeated in 1966 and 1967, and have enjoyed I 8 straight victories. In the last two seasons, 6 of the 8 games each year were won by shut­outs. Among the 1967 champion teams of all the states, Weaver was second in a llowing the fewest points per game.

Joe and Rosemary Russo hosted the annual Cape Cod Trinity Luncheon at their beautiful new summer home at Oyster Harbor. The weather was fine and the Russo's hospitality made the luncheon an outstanding success. They report that they are able to spend time at Oyster Harbor throughout the year and Joe finds it the best place in the world to shake off the pressures that build up in the prac­tice of medicine. Statistically-minded members of the class are offered the in­formation that Joe has so far delivered over 7,000 babies. Joe has been named visiting professor of obstetrics and gyne­cology at the University of Vermont School of Medicine.

While I was parking before the lunch­eon I noticed that one of the other cars bore New Jersey Legislature license plates, an indication that Jack Ewing was among the guests. Jack is now devoting full time to politics, and is finance chair­man of the New Jersey Republican Party. When quizzed about GOP prospects in New Jersey this year, he expressed a guarded optimism. I am indebted to Jack's wife Allie for the information that he was present at both the 1964 and 1968 Republican National Conventions, once as a delegate and once as an alter­nate. When it comes to details like this, Jack maintained the reticence which seems to characterize the relationship of members of the Class of 1941 with their Secretary. Any class wives who may read this are invited to send news about their husbands' achievements. All sources will be protected.

Bonee '43 at the Homecoming luncheon in the Field House prior to the Amherst game, November 9. Dr. Gossling received his varsity "T" as a starting back in 1941 and, although a knee injury prevented further activity on the gridiron, he aided the athletic trainer while he pursued his pre-medical studies.

Since 1966, he has been director of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Hartford Hospital, and is on the consulting staffs of Newington Veterans Hospital, Institute of Living and Manchester Memorial Hospital.

The Tenth Campus Conference at the end of September was highly successful. Area Association officers, Class Agents and Class Secretaries met with the College administration to learn what is current on campus and what lies ahead for Trinity. Our new president, Dr. Ted Lockwood, '48 (originally Class of '46), greeted us at a reception and dinner Friday night and gave us some insight into his plans to cope with student unrest and other problems now facing the College. Our new Dean of the Faculty, the young and dynamic Dr. Robert Fuller, was on hand Saturday morning to forcefully present the most pressing need for an increase in faculty salaries. If Trinity is to maintain its fine educational standards and compete with other privately endowed colleges in its class, we must raise the average compen­sation of our faculty from last place among a dozen such institutions to some­thing more akin to Wesleyan, Amherst, Williams, etc. To this end, the Alumni Fund goal for 1968-69 will nearly be dou­bled and will be allocated for faculty sal­aries. We know you will respond gener­ously to the challenge.

Personnel changes in the insurance world involve two of our classmates. Paul

On September 27 and 28 the College was a very genial host to your class sec­retaries. On Friday evening they had us to a dinner following which President Lockwood addressed us. Since the address is going to be distributed to all alumni, I will not comment any further than to state that it was a very encouraging talk and most enjoyable.

On Saturday, workshops were held and we were addressed by the new Dean of the Faculty, Dr. Robert W. Fuller. Dr. Fuller very ably pointed out a crucial problem at the College concerning faculty salaries and their relationship to other colleges of like size and aims. I am sure you will hear more of this. Later that day, we were guests of the College at the Trinity-Wil­liams football game. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I had other plans and was un­able to attend the game. I assume you know by now that Williams has a very capable backfield.

Chief Master Sergeant Harold Sandler has received his fourth award of the U.S. Air Force Commendation Medal at West­over AFB, Mass.

Your Secretary recently assumed two new hats: associate director of Montfort House, an ecumenical center of the Roman Catholic Montfort Fathers, and executive secretary of Associated Parishes for Lit­urgy and Mission, an organization of Epis­copal priests and laymen concerned for liturgical reform and renewal in the Church. Happily, this bas only involved moving down the hill from the rectory in Washington. Nevertheless, all my notes from the reunion in June were lost in the process. I am left without words. All who gathered - and it was a good group - had a great time. We were honored by the pres­ence of the outgoing and incoming Prexy. The latter spent the evening, being a loyal '48. Our particular thanks go to John Luby who served as general chairman.

Arthur Walmsley was keynote speaker at a Christian Unity conference at Adelyn­rood, South Byfield, Mass. in June. Art has resigned his position with the executive council of the Episcopal Church in New York, and is currently living at 768 North Pleasant St., Amherst, Mass. 01002.

Where, oh where were all you 49'ers on our big 20th? So it was only our 19th re­union and we aren't as old as the class of '48, but it was still pretty nice to join with that class and welcome our new College president. Fifteen of your classmates were there, plus your humble scribe. If I mis­counted, blame it on the party and let me hear from you. Jack Armstrong, the all­American boy, was there with his wife and three sons. Jack is with the Prudential in New York state. Ed Beeghly was well­behaved. He has three children. is produc­tion engineer for Pratt & Whitney and is living in Farmington.

Howie Berger and spouse kept the party going full blast. Howie is manager for Home Life in West Long Branch, New Jersey, and they also have three children. One of them is a junior at Trinity. Bob Bowden announced there were five chil­dren at home, but he made it. Tom Con­nor is probation officer in D.C., but his four children are ail well-behaved. Emery Cook has five children and is a Volks­wagen dealer in Aberdeen, Maryland. Our hard working reunion chairman, Jack Gunning was there with his wife. Jack is a partner in Dow & Condon, real estate, in H artford. Three children for the Gun­nings. Ray Morley came ail the way from Chicago, where be runs his own general construction company, Pora & Morley Co. Ray reports a wife and three offspring. Ray had such a good time that he may still be in Hartford waiting for the 25th reunion. John Noonan tops them ail with six children. (Oiie Church was not on hand.) John is Director of Sales for Men­ley and James Lab in Philadelphia. You couldn't miss Don Prigge with his beard, all-white Nehru jacket and a chain about his neck. Don is one of our two ·class bachelors. He works for Univac in Blue Beii, Pennsylvania and is vice president of Delaware Valley Society of Technical Writers and Publishers.

Sumner Shepherd, our other hardwork­ing reunion chairman, was there with his wife. They have two children and Sumner is a forms analyst in the marketing de­partment of the Phoenix Fire in Hartford. Dick Sherman, still looking like an under­graduate, has three children and is a manufacturer's representative covering all of New England. Dick lives in Newton, Mass. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Steidel were at the dinner. Carl is teaching history at Hall High School in West H artford. Jim Straley handles investments for the Home Life in case you want any tips on the market. Ray Tribelhorn is an engineer in metaiiurgy for Pratt & Whitney, and I believe he said there were four youngsters at home. Any '49ers or their wives attending, that es­caped my eagle eye, may give me a blast. Any mis-information will be blamed on the fun and frolic and iiiegible notes.

Since the reunion, I have learned that Clem Howe has been appointed district sales manager for C.I.T. Corporation . Clem has been with the firm since 1964 and will be responsible for building up the firm's financing and leasing volume in California counties from the San Fran­cisco Bay area east to Nevada, and north

Gerald B. O'Connor amused your sec­retary in a recent letter to Alumni Sec­retary John Mason. Rory, who in real life is reporter for the Berkshire Eagle, Pittsfield , Mass., explained why be hasn't written for years "in fear that correspond­ence (between he and John) might be­come a habit and what could be worse than the confrontation of two writers who felt compelled to answer each others letters." Rory observed that, though to many Trinity is enjoying a period of

growth, "from my distance she appears rather staid - foil owing the lead of many in kidnapping and ransoming their pres­ident and thus Jacking a spirit of inde­pendence. A blockade of the Statehouse or imprisonment of Governor Dempsey might just be the things to convey origi­nality." Rory concluded "my family is well in spite of suffering from the preva­lence called pollution of the nearby lakes and ponds, which doesn't seem to deter them nor any of the hundreds and thous­ands who join them."

This being a political year, we should start this off with a political item. Flash! Dave Barry is running for re-election to the Connecticut Legislature. Lots of luck, Dave. Hope you're already re-elected by the time this reaches print. On the other side of the political fence, I understand that John Miller is the Republican Town Chairman in Wethersfield. With Ed May being from Wethersfield, John no doubt has his hands really full getting out the vote for Wethersfield's favorite son.

The above information on John came via Dick Almquist, who reports that he is still with Factory Insurance Association, which he joined right after leaving Trinity. Factory Insurance is a "pool" ar­rangement of about 85 member com­panies which handles re-insurance for both industrial, fire and other types of casualty insurers. Dick is in the engineer­ing end of the business, and does a fair amount of traveling, visiting customer plants, making recommendations on such things as sprinkler systems which will help both the firm and lower their rates.

Your Reporter sat in on the Trinity­Williams game on the 28th of September, which did not end as happily as it might have (from the Trinity point of view). I saw Tom DePatie and Bill Goralski at the game, and they both look fine. ·Also saw Bob Russell, Bob Hunter, and Dave Smith the evening before the game. They were attending the Campus Conference, as was yours truly. D ave has recently been promoted to national sales manager for National Blank Book Co. of Holyoke, Mass. Dave was previously sales manager for the Greater New York area, and was living in Riverside, Conn. He and his wife Joan, and their six children, expect

to be moving up towards the East Long­meadow area sometime late in December or early in the new year. Congratulations, Dave!

A very interesting article appeared in Fortune earlier this year, in March, which featured Bernard Cornfeld and the Fund of Funds. That is a mutual fund which invests in mutual funds, and is available only to persons outside the U.S.A. It seems that Hank Buhl, who had pre- · viously been with the Wall Street firm of McDonnell & Co., joined Cornfeld in 1962, and under Hank's direction, Inter­national Investment Trust (one of the mutual funds) has grown from about $2 million in assets to over $200 million, as of March of this year.

Reed Hoisington has recently been re­assigned by the Air Force to Storrs, Conn., where he will be teaching Air Science 400. Reed advises that he has bought a house on Upton Drive, Cov­entry, Conn. 06238, and expects to be there at least three years. Hope we will see you at some football games this fall, Reed. Burt How Jr. was recently ap­pointed general manager-marketing for Allied Chemical International. Burt hangs his hat at 40 Rector Street in New York City, and is responsible for all Allied's international marketing activities. Con­gratulations! Bob O'Brien, the terror of Professor Merriman's Latin class returned to his old haunts this summer. Bob, who teaches and coaches at Kingswood School, taught the introduction to Latin Litera­ture during the seoond term of Trinity's summer school.

Fred McColl, (1954) recently of St. Louis, but now working at the College reports that Bill Vibert, in addition to being area alumni president, bead of the history department at John Burroughs School, also finds time to coach the "B" football team. Fred reports that the varsity coach looks forward each year to one or two "graduates" who can split the uprights at 40 yards. It sounds like Bill is back at his first love.

Werner Schild, sales manager for the Automated Accounting Center of Con­necticut (in Waterbury) reports that he has seen Paul Norman who is a practicing eye, ear, nose and throat specialist locally. He also ran into Frank Callan at a "fair" held at the Wolcott School, West Hart­ford. Perhaps the best news of all is that Werner offers a free luncheon to any member of the Class of '52 who drops in on him at his offices in the Chase Brass Building in Waterbury. It's only 35 min­utes from Corbin's Corner, so you can look forward to a lot of luncheon visitors shortly, Werner.

Dick Aiken has received his master of education degree from Harvard.

Yours Truly has just made a major job change. After 10 years with Loctite Corp. I recently joined Putnam Coffin & Burr, which is in the securities business. Cur­rently I am undergoing training, and after taking the N.Y.S.E. exam for reg­istered representatives in December, I expect to be selling securities out of their West Hartford office. I have also joined the Woodridge Sailing Club, which sails on Woodridge Lake in West Hartford. The fleet is strictly sunfishes, and except for not knowing port from starboard, and not knowing the general rules of sailing, I'm not doing badly. The Sunday before this was written, I came in last in three races. There's no way to go but up! We also had a new addition to

the family this summer, a daughter, Diane Patricia, who was born on 19 June at Hartford Hospital. That makes three girls and two boys, which is a full house in any language.

Your notes and letters are welcome, and if you haven't dropped a line either to myself or to the College in over a year, don't you think it's about time. Keep those letters coming!

It has been a most noteworthy summer for the annal s of the Class, for two of our exalted classmates have fin ally fallen to the sword of matrimony! On July 18, at St. Paul's Church in Waterford, Conn., Bill O'Hara wed Barbara Kay Schmickel (naturally in an effort to precede the Dick McCrea wedding which took place

McCrea '55 and bride

on August 22). Your Secretary was not at Bill 's nupt ials, but did manage to make the scene at Cleveland for "The Dog's" day in court, as he joined hands with Mary Curtiss.

The town of Cleveland was besieged by Trinity men from several graduation years. The wedding party included 1955ers Scott Price, Phil Truitt, Dave Roberts, and Charlie Britton, while the congratula­tors present included, Dick Royston, Phil Craig, Bruce Whitman, and Yours Truly. The evening wedding ended with a recep­tion at the Chagrin Valley Hunt Club. Although Dick figuratively achieved the "ball and chain" classification on that night, he actually acquired a heavy metal chain, tightly secured around his neck with a sizable lock, as a gift from his admirers as he set forth with his bride on their honeymoon.

Many of the class are moving from one spot to another as they make their mark. Or are we running? Tom Allocco has moved from Morristown to New Vernon, N.J. Ed Antos is residing in Port Jeffer­son, N.Y. We bumped into Herb Bryer in downtown Pittsburgh, and found he is active in the computer end of General Electric's business. Herb and his family live in suburban Allison Park, Pa. Tom Callahan Jives in Waltham, a Boston suburb. Don Cardwell moved to Hartford from nearby Glastonbury. Don is asso­ciated with Banker's Life and Casualty Co. Dave Clary has moved to Worcester, Mass.

Dick Ferrando has relocated to Con­cord, Mass. Dr. Stan Filewicz is now back in New Britain, Conn. John Foley is liv-

It's time for CN once again - Class Notes, that is. Now that everyone is finished with (and fondly remembering) that summer vacation, fall has arrived and so has news ....

From the Trinity College department of religion Newsletter of June 1968 comes some thoughts of Jan G. Rawson (Box 192, American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon) concerning the refugee problem resulting from the June war be­tween Israel and the Arabs. He writes, "The refugees hesitate to accept any ges­ture which indicates their acceptance of the current situation, and the Jordanian government is over-committed merely providing security for the camps. A pro­found sense of disappointment and frus­tration pervades the refugee camps as the people living in them approach their first anniversary in their unsatisfactory tents. They despair of regaining their homes which they lost last June, at least through diplomatic channels, and have been turn­ing more and more to the ineffective but psychologically satisfying efforts at raid­ing Israeli settlements in their former homeland. America is apparently too over-committed elsewhere in the world to put the kind of em;rgy into its Middle East policy which would result in some sort of consistency and help create the atmosphere for a just and lasting peace here." Thanks to our Middle East cor­respondent.

The Mixters and baby are now back in Bos­ton after having spent two years in Korea with the Peace Corps. Terry is at Massachusetts General this year. The evening visit was an enjoyable oppor­tunity to get caught up on news from the Far East, and to hear of their experi­ences in Korea.

What with both our fifth reunion last June and the annual concentration of May to October transfers, I find myself inundated by such a welcome but un­usual flood of Class news that I am having some difficulty organizing it all.

One of the summer's more significant social events took place the last weekend in June in Bethlehem at the occasion of

Hill '63 Mackie '63

the Burrell Watson-Pete Haskell wed­ding. In addition to Pete, who is living near Detroit, where he is responsible for developing and directing American Mo­tor's college marketing program, and Your Secretary, the participants in the festivities included Bruce Hill, John Gaines and John "Cocktail" Clement '65. Bruce, recently separated from the Navy after a volunteer tour of duty patrolling the Mekong River in a PT boat, is now living in Pittsburgh, where he is a director for Cine Dynamics which specializes in filming TV commer­cials. Dr. John, who has been interning at Bellview, will be leaving shortly for a year tour as an army doctor in Viet­nam. Upon his return he plans to start practice in Manhattan as an DB-G yne­cologist, which, I predict, will result in

his becoming one of the City's most sought-after woman's doctor.

Our Class manpower contribution to the ·active military has been shrinking rapidly. Dick Gooden, who finished his MBA at the University of New Mexico after leaving the Air Force this spring, has joined us in the overseas division of First National City Bank, where he is applying his computer expertise as the management information system special­ist in the planning section. Jim Good­ridge, recently discharged from the Navy, and Buzz Campbell, who just left the Ai r Force where he had been a naviga­tor on a SAC Stratotanker which re­fueled B-52s flying missions over Viet­nam, are both now attending Columbia where they are working toward MBA's. Bill Reese is also at Columbia, but at Law School, after having left the Air Force. In August, Mike Daly separated from the Air Force and entered the Graduate School of Public Health at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor where he should find the winters a bit harder to take than they were in Guam or Thailand. Bob Bordogna and Dick Ulbrich have both recently left the Navy and are enrolled in graduate school this fall- Bob is at University of Virginia Business School, Dick is at the School of Dentistry, University of Pennsylvania.

Considerable changes are taking place in the lives of several of our classmates who are still in the service. After a year of relative solitude at an Air Force base in North D akota, Harold Vickery is being reassigned for duty as assistant staff judge advocate at U-tapao Airfield in Thailand . Captain Walter Burinskas, who had a baby daughter in the late spring, and Special Agent John Ward­law, both recently graduated from the Air University's Squadron Officer School at Maxwell AFB, Alabama. Following their graduation, Walter was reassigned as an admin istrative officer at Offutt AFB just outside Omaha, and John was as­signed to the Office of Special Investiga­tions in Washington, D.C. Needless to say, John is noncornrnital about his cur­rent duties. Kim Waterhouse, who saw Bob Pope during the Pueblo Crisis in Korea, is currently a B-52 navigator based in Japan, but he is going to flight school for pilot training this fall.

Several recent promotions have come to my attention including that Mike Hill has been appointed promotion planning supervisor in the Marketing Division of Smith Kline & French Labs, the Phila­delphia based manufacturer of prescrip­tion med icines. David Scott has been promoted to manager, design / production control for McGraw Hill Information Systems Company. Ted Raff, who has taken over our Class Agent responsi­bilities from a much-relieved Scott Rey­nolds, has been appointed manager of Hartford National Bank's Constitution Pl aza Office which should give Ted suffi­cient signing author ity to approve what­ever kind of loan facilities any of you residing in the greater Hartford area might desire. Also in Hartford, Jack Waggett has been given the additional responsibilities by the College of director of financial aid . Too bad its too early for any of our offspring to be applying to Trinity.

Kim Dickson, who has completed his actuary exams, is now an assistant ac­tuary at the Connecticut Mutual Insur­ance Company and lives in an old Eng-

!ish Colonial at 34 Brookline Drive in West Hartford with his wife Carol and two sons, Robbie and Jeff. Andy Lewis has been rewarded for years of faithful service in Bangor, Maine with a transfer to Goodyear's Industrial Products Office in Pittsburgh.

Peter Mackie is an assistant secretary in the investment advisory division at Bankers Trust which, for those in the field of finance, will recognize as being considerably more responsible a position than the title would indicate. Marine Midland Grace Bank and Trust has re­cently promoted Wiley Jones from assist­ant treasurer to business service officer and officer in charge of automated busi­ness services. After a short tour as a plant controller in Shiprock New Mexico, Fairchild Camera has transferred Bob Bylin back to their Mountain View, Cali­fornia, operations where Bob, as the central cost controller, is responsible for coordinating the divisions cost systems and developing new systems. Congratula­tions to all of you on your noteworthy progress.

Two of our relatively new doctors have just begun their residencies. Carl Lundborg is in the midst of a year's general surgery residency at Hartford Hospital and next summer will be going to the University of Pittsburgh for ortho­pedics residency. Steve Imrie is in the middle of his year of orthopedics resi­dency at Stanford University Medical School.

Per usual, June has produced a raft of second generation graduates. After receiving his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Massachusetts, one of my old German classmates, Ken Fletcher has taken a position as a research chem­ist at The Foxboro Company in Norfolk, Massachusetts. Stan Marcuss had a rela­tively eventful summer. In June he grad­uated from Harvard Law School. In July he married the former Rosemary Daly of Stamford, Connecticut. And in August he took a position in the Office of General Counsel of the Department of Housing and Urban Affairs in Wash­ington, D .C. So Stan, whats happened since September?

This season's crop of business school graduates appear to be doing rather well. Dave Wicks, following an impres­sive spin thru UVa's MBA program which included deans list and election (one of only two at the Business School) to Omicron Delta Kappa, a national leadership fraternity, he accepted a job in New York with the corporate finance department of A. G. Becker, the invest­ment banking firm . Marsh Blume has collected a Ph.D. in business, our first I believe, from the University of Chicago, and is now an assistant professor of bus­iness finance at the University of Penn­sylvania's Wharton School. It would seem that Paul Miele barely missed the opportunity of being lectured to by Marsh since Paul received his MBA in International Business from Wharton just last spring. Paul spent the summer managing a family business and, if he has held to his schedule, should now be working overseas. Paul where are you?

Rick Nygard is working for the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID) in Washington, as a systems ana­lyst participating in a project to develop a computerized management information system. Steve Yeaton is also working for AID on an assignment which I would

guess virtually any member of our bach­elor contingent would take on a moments notice. Based in Honolulu, at the Uni­versity of Hawaii, he is the project man­ager for nurses, i.e. he coordinates their orientation program for 12 weeks before they leave for hospitals in Asia (Viet­nam). Poor Steve is not only married, but it should be a family of three by now.

Now that Dave Brackett is a qualify­ing member of the 1968 Million Dollar Roundtable, he has decided to relax and enjoy the pleasures of life, including marriage to Dianne Hite on August 31st.

In addition to those who have returned to school on a full-time basis such as John Kent, who is at Columbia Univer­sity working on a masters in medical administration, a couple of our class­mates are doing it on a part-time basis. Jim Blair, who is gainfully employed as a securities analyst at Teachers Insurance and Annuity, is attending St. John's University Law School in the evenings. Don Hersey, who teaches English at Wethersfield High, and has already earned his masters of education in reading at the University of Hartford, has just started work on a masters in English from the University of Connecticut.

Speaking of doing things double, John Alvord has, to the best of my recollec­tion, had the first set of twins yet to descend from the Class of '63: Stephen Arthur and Theodore Randall, both born February 12, 1968.

Since last fall Eli Karson has been working in Springfield, Mass., as an in­dustrial promotion representative for the Joint Civic Agencies of the Chamber of Commerce. Inasmuch as the Karsons have bought a home at 90 Pilgrim Road in Springfield, it would appear that they are planning to stay awhile. Tom Cala­brese also has a new job and a new house. Tommy and Andrea are living at 15 Goodridge Road in Simsbury, and he is a systems engineer in the data processing division of IBM's Hartford office. Lloyd Reynolds has done the same- new job (just finished tEtna Life and Casualty's Insurance School in Hart­ford) and a new home (2019 Mont­gomery Avenue, Villanova, Pennsylva­nia) .

To the surprise of none, it is my pleasure to report that David Shields, in carrying out his responsibilities as VIP host for United Airlines at Kennedy Airport, sufficiently impressed the Nixon girls that R.M.N. himself telephoned the president of United to ask that David be loaned to the Nixon campaign. At this rate he will be our next secretary of transportation .

Dick Bernstein has just returned to his office at the chief counsel of the Internal Revenue Service from a Jamaica and Palm Beach vacation . Jim Davison is also in Washington, where he is em­ployed as a management consultant at the Stanwick Corporation in Arlington, Virginia.

Recognition as one of our Class' first real success stories goes to Peter Von Starck who is the proprietor of a new restaurant so popular that the waiting list for reservations is three weeks long. The Panetiere, as it is named, is a cross between a private home and a club and is decorated with 18th Century furniture acquired by Peter in the south of France. Peter serves classic French cuisine pre­pared by an imported French chef. De­spite the $40 fare and the absence of

cocktails, the Mainline is apparently flocking in droves to Peter's restaurant to dine on his Limoge and to sip wine from his Ginori goblets.

Ray Hutch is now living in Fairport, New York, which is just outside Roches­ter, where he is employed as a systems consultant for Information Handling Services.

After graduating from Harvard Law School in 1967, Jim Hendrick passed the Illinois Bar and worked in Chicago at Ross, Hardies, O'Keefe, Babcock, McDugald & Parsons until this spring when he was commissioned a Lt. j.g. in the Naval Reserve, Judge Advocate General's Corps. Following his training Jim was stationed in San Frimcisco, which is something less than the worst break in the world.

In September on my way to South Africa on a business trip, I was able to spend some time with John Lamphear who is at the University of London doing work towards a Ph .D . in African studies. In addition to his classwork, he has man­aged to publish a paper and co-author a book on the commercialization of the Mombassa Region in the 19th Century and to acquire a fiance. Having looked over both Molly and John's publications, I cannot help but feel that the former is his greatest achievement. They plan to be married in December after John has finished running a Peace Corps orienta­tion program for volunteers going to Botswana. Subsequently they plan a 15 month wedding trip to the Upper Sudan where John will collect the emperical data for his doctoral thesis. I'm certain that any time after the first month they will be thrilled to have visitors so be sure to stop in if you're in the neighbor­hood.

Keep those cards and letters coming.

Second was Riess Potterveld, now a third-year B.D. student at Yale Divinity School, who married the former Kathryn Michalson. Peter McCalmont, who was at Y.D.S. last year, forsook the "fertile crescent" in New Haven for more fertile philosophical pur­suits in Providence, R.I., at Brown Uni­versity.

FRANK DIEHL F ACKENTHAL,

HoN. 1955

Dr. Frank D. Fackenthal, former act­ing president of Columbia University , died September 5, at East Stroudsburg, Pa. He was a bachelor and had no im­mediate survivors.

In 1955, Trinity College conferred the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws on Dr. Fackenthal, and he delivered the Commencement address.

While serving as Columbia's provost and acting president, he was instrumental in the creation of the Russian Institute and the School for General Studies. He was responsible for shaping much of the academic policy and was credited by faculty members for the smooth transi­tion from war to peacetime conditions.

A man who shunned publicity and made few public appearances, Dr. Fac­kenthal published in 1949 a volume en­titled The Greater Power and Other Addresses. This comprised 18 short talks to students and alumni during his term as acting president, the longest of which did not exceed 500 words.

After his retirement, he became edu­cational consultant for the Carnegie Foundation of New York and devoted much time to his trusteeships at Colum­bia, Barnard, Franklin and Marshall , Riv­erdale School and International House.
