TRINITY REPORTER VOLUME 2 NUMBER 2 T-RINITY COLLEGE HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT JUNE 1971

..._ THE ' 145th COMMENCEMENT -Approximately 2600 people crowded the Ferris Athletic Center on May 30 to witness the awarding of 314 bachelors and 100 masters degrees. Rain forced the ceremonies inside for the first time since 1968.

Annual Givi-ng Tops Goal Nears $4oo,ooo

With two weeks left before its official closing, the 1970-71 Annual Giving

rogram has- topped its goal of $3.50,000 and is heading toward the $400,000 mark, according to Judson Rees, director of development.

As of June 15, alumni, parents and friends of Trinity- including businesses and foundations-contributed a record $387,098, Rees reported. Last year at this time the Annual Giving total-with business and foundation donations included- was $267,127.

The key to the p r ogram's extraordinary success, Rees .said, was the leadership shown by Trinity trustees- many of whom made generous contributions themselves- and the zeal shown by Trinity alumni and friends who

Barclay Shaw To Head Board

An alumnus of the Class of 1935 and former president of the national Trinity College Alumni Association has been elected chairman of the Trinity College Board of Trustees.

The new chairman, Barclay Shaw, will replace Lyman B. Brainerd who retired from the post effective May 29 . Brainerd had been chairman of the Board since 1968 and will still serve as a regular member of the 27-man governing body.

Shaw, a 58-year-old tax lawyer from Chappagua, New York, has been a Trinity trustee since 1957, serving first as a representative of alumni, then as a life trustee elected by his fellow board members.

A partner in the New York law firm of Townsend and Lewis, he served as president of the Alumni Association from 1956 to 1958 and won the Association's prestigious award, the Alumni Medal, in 1957.

Brainerd, the president of the Hartford ·steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance

- worked as volunteers during the campaign.

The development director also cited alumni for going well over their quota of $ 2 00 ,000 . To da te alu mn-i have contributed $238,490-some $60,000 more than last year, he said .

Faulkner Polk

Four Trinity alumni, including one official alumni representative, have been elected to the Board of Trustees in the first trustee elections since the Board was reorganized last November.

Three of the new trustees- Winthrop W. Faulkner, an architect from Washington, D. C.; William Polk, a teacher from Lawrenceville, N.J .; and William R. Peelle, a Hartford industrialist- were elected by Trinity trustees to fill board vacancies. They will serve terms of six, seven and eight years respectively.

The fourth trustee- Martin D. Wood of Simsbury, Conn.- was elected in a heavy mail balloting of Trinity alumni held during May. He will replace Herbert R. Bland and serve a six-year term as an alumni trustee . Bland has been an alumni trustee since 1965 .

The practice of electing trustees for given terms rather than "for life" was established by Trinity trustees last November. Trustees said they hoped the move would attract capable trustees who might not be .willing to commit

Graduates Honored At Indoor Ceremony

Spring showers ended . a three year streak of sunny commencements at Trinity this year and forced 313 bache-lor and 100 master degree candidates into the Ferris Athletic Center to receive their diplomas.

The rains came shortly before bacc alaureate exercises early on graduation day and had parents and friends of graduates armed with umbrellas and raincoats long before they packed into the Ferris Center gymnasium for the afternoon ceremony.

With no commencement speaker scheduled, the two hour ceremony proceeded quickly to the awarding of honorary degrees and the highlight of the afternoon-the presentation of diplomas. The commencement address was dropped by the College to shorten the ceremony while preserving the tradition of personally awarding degrees to each Trinity graduate.

Not only were honorary degrees given to Connecticut's governor, Thomas J. Meskill., class of 1950, and Frank Stanton, the CBS president who has refused to release documents used in developing the controversial TV documentary, " Tile Selling of the Pentagon," but without a word of forewarning, President Lockwood took the podium from Lyman Brainerd, class

themselves to life terms and would at the same time insure that each generation of Trinity graduates - is adequately represented on the Board.

Under the new plan, there will eventually be no life trustees on the 27-man Board. Instead , the Board will be composed of 12 "charter members" who will serve until retirement ; eight trustees elected for eight-year terms; six alumni trustees; and the president of the College.

Traditionally, all Trinity trustees, except the College president, and those elected by the alumni, served life-long terms.

Faulkner, a member of the Class of 1953, is a partner in Wilkes and Faulkner, an architectural firm which has been active in developing drug rehabilitation centers, neighborhood parks and cliild day care centers in the Washington, D.C. area.

He has served as a class agent and is also an alumnus of the Landon School in Washington.

Polk, a 31-year old alumnus of the

of 1930 and chairman of the trustees, and awarded the long-time Trinity supporter an honorary Doctor of Laws.

"Four decades of distinguished service to Trinity College," Lockwood told the red-faced executive , "merit the recognition we accord you on this occasion ... You have brought calm and considerate judgment to the well-being. of Trinity."

Brainerd, the president of Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company · and a former recipient of the Eigenbrodt Trophy, has been a Trinity trustee since 1937 and chairman of the board since 1937 and chairman of the

·board since 1968. He is retiring as chairman this year, but will continue to serve as a Charter Trustee.

Of all the dignitaries honored at the ceremony, Stanton was the one most enthusiastically received by members of the class of 1971. His citation was greeted with p ro1onged applause from the graduates and shouts ?f "bravo" from the bleachers which held their parents, relatives and friends .

Brainerd praised Stanton for insisting on-"quality and excellence" in television programming and for personally making possible the Kennedy-Nixon TV debates.

Wood

Class of 1962, is a religion teacher at the Lawrenceville School and one of the youngest trustees ever elected to the Trinity Board .

He has served on the Human Relations Council in Lawrenceville and has been a member of the Trinity College Board of Fellows.

Peelle, a vice-president of Arrow-Hart, Inc., was graduated from Trinity in 1944 and has served as vice president of the Alumni Association . He is director of the Greater Hartford Better Business Bureau and a forme!' chairman of Trinity's Alumni Fund.

Wood, a 1942 Trinity alumnus, is second vice president of the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company and a retired colonel in the Air Force Reserves. He defeated Hartford City Councilman Dr. Allyn Martin '53 and Karl E. Scheibe '59, a psychology professor at Wesleyan University in a dose race for the alumni trustee position.

Honorary ·Degree Citations Lyman B. Brainerd

MR. BRAINERD, four decades of Distinguished service to Trinity College merit the recognition we accord you on this occasion. Upon your retirement as chairman of the Board of Trustees but not as an active member, we commend you for the leadership you have provided your College. Seldom do men devote such undivided attention and concern to the well-being of the institution from which they received their undergraduate education. You have long brought your calm and considerate judgment to the well-being of Trinity and neither paddle-tennis nor boating have diminished your enthusiasm for the College. As chief executive officer of the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company and as a director of numerous corporations, you have exemplified the requisite sensitivity to the issues confronting American enterprise. As a member of the Trinity Board of Trustees for thirty-four years, you have demonstrated a passion for the progress of this institution which we hope all who graduate will display. Your patience and understanding have assured the College that measured response to contemporary challenges which alone permits combining excellence with change. Similarly your quiet attentiveness to Trinity's affairs has permitted you to respond with equanimity to both the early morning call - probably less disconcerting to you than to the caller- and your many and varied contributions to other institutions in Greater Hartford - we salute you, Lyman Bushnell Brainerd.

Bradford Hastings Although you have served many parishes and

are now rector of the largest one in the Diocese of Connecticut, you are in your experience the least parochial of men. A New Yorker who spent his childhood among the Arapahoe

Indians in Wyoming, you received your Bachelor of Arts degree from Union College and your theological education in Virginia. Afger serving as vicar in Overland, Missouri, you became rector in Concord, Massauchusetts and then served two parishes in Minnesota. Your wide experience in the Church has prepared you well to be Rector of Christ Church Green.wich, where you have pursued you; interests in Christian education, liturgical renewal, and new ways of parish organization. As a member of the Executive Council of the Diocese and as vice-chairman of the Joint Commission on the Structure· of the Church, your wisdom and leadership have served the whole Church. The father of a Trinity graduate and of a son now at Union, we today contribute to unity among the three of you by making you a Trinity man as well. It is an honor to present to you a distinguished cleric in union with Trinity ... Bradford Hastings.

Thomas J. Meskill The first graduate of Trinity College to

become Governor of our state, you have served Connecticut with conspicuous success since you took the degree of Bachelor of Science a relatively short time ago, in 1950. Six years as a lawyer and civic leader sharpened the skills, to which Trinity must certainly have contributed; and our neighbors in New Britain elected you mayor. Your youth and vigor and the esteem of your fellow citizens took you to Washington where you represented the Sixth District in the Congress for two terms. Now, as Governor of Connecticut, you face issues which tax the abilities, imagination, and energies of men who hold office in these difficult times. The task, among others, of matching worthwhile programs with available resources is a national problem and your determination to face it has been a dramatic example of your willingness to meet the respo!Jsibilities of your high position. In the world of politics, as elsewhere, public

reaction is rarely undivided. Your determination to serve in that most public and still most lonely of rail arenas merits this recognition by your Alma Mater. I present to you an alumnus of our College ... Thomas J. Meskill.

Frank Stanton Yourself a psychologist, you are perhaps

better equipped than anyone here to explain the versatility of your extraordinary career. Yours has been the public and private life of the Universal Man, blending a rigorous scientific training with taste, discernment, and compassion. You have carried knowledge into fresh and imaginative fields and, most important of all, into action. A former chairman of the Center for AdvanGed Study in the Behavioral Sciences, you have also served the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and have been recognized for your e.ncouragement of American design. Your uncanny ability to bring coherence to diverse fields has made you effective in everything from a directorship of the New York Yankees to a trusteeship in the Rockefeller Foundation. As President of the Columbia Broadcasting System you have shown us the pertinence of your early research in aural and visual perception. To you goes the credit for making possible the Kennedy-Nixon Debates on television. Most recently you have eloquently defended the right of a free press to investigate the operations of government-another illustration of your long-time support of the First Amendment. Although you left the classroom several years ago, you are still the best of teachers in your insistence upon high qaulity and excellence in ·the most awesome new medium that serves our culture and is, indeed, a part of it. You have taught us the relevance of good learning and the ways it can be used to further human understanding. I have the honor to present a jack of all trades AND a master of all of them .. . Fraqk Stanton.

Edward A. Suisman Born and bred in Hartford, you have been a

felicitous example of what happens when a man with a deep sense of obligation and responsibility becomes a leader in business and civic life. A graduate of Yale College in 1925, you have always retained a lively and active interest in higher education. You served as a trustee of the University of Connecticut under three governors. You were a found er of the University of Hartford and have been a member of the Yale Alumni Board. Your support of scholarships at Trinity and your invaluable counsel as a member of the Capitol Area Scholarship Committee at the College are instances of your concern for young people and of the imaginative generosity that makes it possible for many of them to continue their educations. As a member of the Board of Directors of the Hartford Hospital and of St. Francis Hospital and of the Greater Hartford Community Chest you have given countless hours to the betterment of your fellow citizens. Underlying this spirit of service has been a deep commitment to the spiritual riches of Judaism, which you have done much to preserve and extend through your support of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. I present to you a distinguished son of Hartford and now a son of Trinity ... Edward A. Suisman.

COMMENCEMENT (from page 1) ·

He then went on to allude to Stanton's run-in with a House panel investigating the "Selling of the Pentagon."

"Most recently," the board chairman said, "you have eloquently defended the right of a free press to investigate the operations of government, another illustration of your long-time support of the First Amendment."

Also receiving honoary degrees at commencement were Edward Suisman, chairman of the board of Suisman and Blumenthal, Inc., of Hartford, and the Rev. Bradford Hastings, rector of Christ Church, Greenwich.

· In a baccalaureate address earlier in the day, the Rev. Hastings had urged graduating seniors to be their "own person(s)" rather than institutionalized "company men" when they move into the diverse worlds of government, business and education.

He said he had recently realized that, as a minister, he had become

"ecclesiastically domesticated" and "just another piece of the institution." But young people with "special insight" have been trying to "break out of the shackles of our depersonalized life" and need not fall into the same rut, he said.

"I hope you will press on with your concern for the person and your person, always bending and shaping the institutions and patterns of society," Rev. Hastings said.

At the commencement exercise itself, Professor John Dando, marshal for the ceremony, provided light touches of humor as Trinity seniors filed up to the graduation platform to receive their degrees.

The first came after Dando announced a senior "in absentia" only to watch, as he had in two earlier cases, the student walk in front of him to receive his degree .

"Must be a ghost," Dando quipped into the microphone .

Later, the veteran English professor and TV personality had to read three names in a row before finding a senior who was present to receive his degree.

When he found one, he joked, "Glad you could make it, son."

Then , as parents were eyeing a long-haired dog walking up the aisle

' toward the graduation platform, Dando announced: Norden Scott Gilbert and Jessica. And the long-time Trinity mascot pranced across the stage with her master.

Moments later, Dando's mood changed and he read three times the name of Charles Z. Greenbaum, as a sign that his degree was being awarded posthumously.

Greenbaum, a former physics major from Marblehead, Mass., died of cancer a week before graduation.

TOP HONORS- Lowen K. Hankin, valedictorian of Trinity's 1971 graduating class, with Trinity's first woman salutatorian, Laura Sohval. Hankin, an economics major will attend Yale Law School in the fall while Miss Sohval will pursue her study of French in Paris.

Hankin, Miss Sohval Head Class Two Others Receive Four Degrees

Two young scholars who earned masters degrees in record-setting time, a precocious 21-year-old coed and a budding economist from Abington, Pa., were the center of attention as degrees were granted at Trinity's commencement exercises this spring.

Lawrence L. Bruckner, 20, of Thomson, Ill., and David Sarasohn, 20, of North Bergen, N.J., were singled out by commencement marshal John Dando as they walked to the graduation platform to receive their bachelor's degree and then returned five minutes later to accept master's diplomas.

Bruckner, a political science major who will attend Yale Law School next fall, received both degrees after only three years of college. His record-setting performance stemmed from studying summers, spending time at Trinity's Rome campus and studying on a world tour.

Sarasohn received his B.A. and M.A. degrees in history after four years at Trinity. He expects to attend law or graduate school in September.

The co-ed, Laura S. Sohval of New York City, did noi have to be singled out. She was the second student to mount the

graduation platform at commencement ceremonies and the first woman ever named salutatorian of a Trinity graduating class.

A French major who transferred from Beaver College, Glenside, 'Pa., after her sophomore year, Miss Sohval will study at a number of Parisian universities under the auspices of New York University next fall. ·

The budding economist honored at the ceremony is Lowen K. Hankin, valedictorian of the class of 1971. Hankin, a teaching assistant in economics during his senior year, is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and a member of Pi Gamma Mu, social science honorary society. He plans to attend Yale Law School in September.

Four other students, all engineering majors , received a bachelors degree at Trinity's commencement and a M.A. less than two weeks later at Rennselear Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y.

The students - David Agerton of Chatham, N.J. , Daniel Drury of Sheffield, Mass., Hugo Luke of Okinawa and AI Lem of London, England- earned the degrees in a five year engineering program worked out between Trinity and the RPI Graduate Center in Hartford.

FOUR DEGREES - David Sarasohn, a history major from North Bergen, N.J., and Lawrence Bruckner, a budding political scientist from Thomson, Ill., pose in cap and gown shortly after receiving dual degrees at Trinity's I 45th Commencement. Bruckner was awarded a bachelor and masters degree in political science after only three years at Trinity. Sarasohn earned a bachelor and masters in history in four years.

The President's Charge You who graduate today have seen a significant transformation in the colleges

and universities of this country. In the minds of many the changes have not been wholly. satisfactory, either because they did not go far enough or because they went too far. In fact , none of us may be content with what has happened during these past four years, and yet all might agree that change was necessary. A former Columbia University president remarked that even in the Garden of Eden, Adam observed , "Eve, we are living in a period of transition." The crisis has been real; and, therefore, we have been living in a period of transition, wanting a new and better world but expecting the worst. Our only solace comes from realizing that we may have learned to accept the absence of tranquility.

The process of change has not ended : it will not end. In education we must , sooner or later, regain a consensus about what is worthwhile . So as a nation we must recapture the latent faith in our institutions that, through them, we may fulfill our aspirations. That goal will require great imagination and great dedication on the part of all, but especially by you. The future alone will determine whether you have a better understanding of the world in which you live and whether you have sufficient vision and resilience of spirit to improve that world.

What I cannot accept, and I hope you will not accept, is that the challenge is not worthy of the effort. I can understand the sense of futility which sometimes overwhelms our responses to today's problems. What was once an exhilarating attempt to engage people in a collaborative effort to resolve problems seems to have become all too frequently a debilitating defense of personal convenience punctuated by a study decline in the level of both behavior and discourse. We have had enough of pettiness to know its unnourishing results. Surely then, we must continue to assume that, through the application of all that we know, we can solve the crisis in a way that improves the prospects we hold. Aware as we are of our problems, we just cannot affort to turn away from democracy, from human sensitivity-from humanity itself.

Therefore, my charge to you is simple: We- and particularly you who graduate today-must apply all the intelligence, fortitude, and love we can summon. Dag Hammerskjold phrased this thought poignantly: "Each of us must have the wilderness as his pillow and a star as his brother."

Even though exhortation has an antique ring, now IS the time for us to recognize that, whatever our chosen profession, whatever our political persuasion, the challenges of our time require the use of our human intellect, our reason, and our compassion in behalf of mankind, not against mankind. To preserve democracy requires such resoluteness. I hope that you will never lose confidence in our ability to improve society to make democracy work. In that effort we wish you the good luck you deserve and the courage you Will need to make this world, not simply this nation, a better place in which to achieve the dignity of all mankind.

Last Oaths Taken As AFROTC Ends

Two Trinity seniors were commissioned second lieutenants in the Air Force Saturday May 29 in a final commissioning ceremony which ended an era of 23 years of Air Force ROTC on the campus.

By mutual agreement last summer between the College and the Air Force the program is being terminated this month because of dwindling AFROTC enrollments on campus.

Receiving their gold bars were Mark B. Macomber of Albany, N.Y. and William R. Fuller of Gales Ferry, Conn.

•

Macomber also received the Lawrence G. Silver Memorial Award which annually has gone to the outstanding cadet and Fuller received a savings bond for exceptional academic achievement.

Air Force Lieutenants William Fuller (left) and Mark Macomber

Jonathan E. Miller of Wilmington, Del., was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps by Marine Capt. Clifford G. Blasi at the same ceremony. Miller completed the Corps' special off-campus program.

Air Force Major Richard I. Brubaker, professor of aerospace studies, delivered the charge to the new air force officers and Trinity President Lockwood presented the commissions, all of which became effective following graduation from the College the next day. Air Force Capt. Lawrence D. Flynn administered the oath.

The Air Force ROTC program was first established at Trinity in 1948. At the height of its enrollment in 1953 there were 533 students-or more than half of the undergraduate student body participating. For many years there was an annual review that was one of the spring highlights on the campus. Marine Lieutenant Jori Miller

Letters To The Editor Thoughtful Advice

I have just had the latest issue of the Trinity Reporter and, having read the editorial, want to write you my opinion of it.

I enjoyed the quarterly Alumni Magazine but I must say I think that the new publication serves us better. As the editorial said, it carries a greater sense of immediacy and conveys a better sense of newsiness.

I have . been thinking over a possibility that might have some merit. Would it make sense for a special, slick-paper "special" edition to be put out at reunion time. I see something that would carry articles by students,. staff and alumni, be well illustrated and carrying pieces not ·only of reunion interest but commenting on the role of the college as welL

It would be expensive, of course, but perhaps a planned postcard mailing in advance to determine the number of buyers well in advance would indicate the feasibility of the scheme. In fact, an article on the current publication. might give you a good reading. , ,

If the sale of such a publication was' predicated on a certain number of buyers at a certain price, it might well make an a t tra c t i ve arid even profitable supplement, once a year, to what is already a very good j ournal.. ~ ·

Disturbed I was deeply disturbed recently to

learn ' that Trinity College will most likely se.nd a boat to the Royal Henley Regetta this coming summer. While I rowed for four years at Trinity College and am a strong advocate 6f the sport, I feel that such a trip is ~an extravagant ~ waste of money . The cost of the trip alone will come close to the cost of putting someone through four years of college. All of us during the last few ·years have had our political consciousnesses raised a great deal. The waste of such a large amount of money in a time when so much is needed to rebuild our cities and give education to those that have not been able to afford it is truely disgusting. I feel this way regardless of where the money for the trip is coming from. Furthermore participation in the Henley event is participation in what is a very elitist affair. It always has been ~J li'cl<:o Kelley was not allowed t6 row . thme because he had once worked with his hands) and remains so though to a lesser extent. And finally participation in such

The balance of the record annual giving -funds came from three new categories of donors : Business and Industry , $53,174; F riends of Trinity, $12,658; and Foundations, $3,078 . Prior to this year, gifts from only alumni and parents were recorded as part of the formal Annual 9iving Program.

Richard L. Tyner

Brickbats! I know it's hard to please everyone;

sometimes it's impossible to please anyone. That's why I'm patient with the Trinity Reporter: if I don't like it surely someone else does.

But my patience is running thin. I find the Reporter intellectually vacant and thoroughly uninformative or-provocative. Rarely, if ever, do I hear from the students themselves about whateve(s on their minds~and they are the ''meat" of the college . Nor do I find articles that stimulate me to think about new directions for education or our culture. Nothing in the Reporter challenges me to think or indicates to me that the Trinity campus is alive a~d intellectually well.

Instead I get a large scoop of dull gossip about obscure alumni, miscellaneous notes about . faculty appointments, and who's on the gridiron. Well enough, I suppose~for someone,

There's a lot happening in our country that's exciting and important. I'd like to know how students are responding to these issues. They are, after all, rightly or wrongly , one of the most influential groups in our culture today . If the Tripod's reporting was at times partial at least it was lively. The Reporter is deadly dull.

So I've got a couple of suggestions~respectfully submitted: How abour reprinting an occasional Tripod editorial (maybe even a controversial one)? Or reprinting some of the articles written by students about campus and national life? Or commissioning a student to "cover" some aspect -of campus life? I think that the Reporter could very well jraw more on the Tripod.:.

As far as I'm concerned, wheri I stop hearing from the students, I stop hearing from Trinity.

SHAW (from page I)

Company, is entering his 35th year as a Trinity trustee , He is a Trinity alumnus of the Class of 1930.

In 1967, Brainerd received the Eigenbrodt Trephy, the highest award the College bestows on an alumnus. This year the College awarded him an honorary Doctor of Laws degree for "four decades

. of distinguished service to Trinity." Shaw's election as chairman of the

Trinity board comes only six months after the trustees voted to eliminate life terms on the board and-set up instead a system of "charter" and "term" trustees.

The plan is intended to make it easier for each generation of Trinity graduates to be represented on the board and to allow potential trustees to serve on the board without making a life-long commitment.

When the plan is fully in effect, no trustee will be permitted to serve beyond retirement age and there will be eight trustees besides those elected by alumni who will serve limited terms of eight years each. Formerly, all trustees not

TEGA Holds Lively Conference

Education has been oversold in this country. Industry has been forced to hire beyond the education level required for the job assigned. Once hired, these "over-educated" individuals become dissatisfied with the type of work for which they were employed. Liberal arts oriented institutions ought to own up to the fact that they' have always b.een involved in career training. The admission of this fact would encourage internships in industry, more-cooperative work-study programs such as those at Antioch and

''Northeastern, and other world-ofwork experiences for college age men and women.

These were some of the thoughts expressed at the Trinity Education Graduate Alumni Conference held May 15 at the College. The topic: "Graduate Education in the Independent ,College: What Does the Employment Market Want?'' -A--lively discuss~on surrounded the remarks of the three panelists: Dr. Robert P. Hopkins, consulting psychologist of Hopkins Associates; Dr. Robert McBaine, clinical psychologist and manager of the Employment Opportunity Program for the Stanley Works in New Britain; and Thomas H. Ski.rm, lecturer in education at Trinity and former director of personnel for the Hartford Board of Education.

"All people need goals," asserted Or. Hopkins, "even though the goals may change." What rriust be provided are all the options available to them. This is the task of schools and colleges.

Thomas Skirm declared that "a liberal arts education is still the most viable preparation for teachers." A nation-wide experience in teacher recruitment convinced him that the graduate of a liberal arts college is not a specialist, is not parochial, and has the interdisciplinary approach that is needed today. Such a teacher he found is more willing to go anywhere and try almost any position than is his counterpart from schools which do not emphasize a general education.

Questions for th~ panelists were raised by several Department of Education alumni. Matt Sheriden, former president and founder of the Trinity Graduate Student Association and now a holder of three master's degrees, two from Tfinity, called for "an open admissions policy in indus try as well as in education, a policy," he said, "that .should include the kinds of challenge which qualified people need and do not always find."

1 ohn LeConche, MA in education 1955, now with the Hartford School System praised the progress in secondary school programs that provide job orientation, asserting the world-of-work experience motivates stude'nts to do better in schools.

College Receives $2,ooo,ooo Bequest

Trinity has received a bequest of over $2,000,000, the largest single bequest in the College's 148 years.

_The bequest was left by Charles A. Lewis of the class of 1893, formerly of Ridgefield, Conn., who died in Atlantic City ipl957 at the age of 86.

In announcing the large bequest, President Lockwood said: "By this magnificent gift to his Alma Mater, Mr. Lewis has made a lasting contribution to assist us in maintaining the high standards of education which he so cherished as a student some 80 years ago.

"The College is deeply grateful for this generous gift which will become a living endowment in memory of his parents. This bequest is a splendid example of the kind of support and genuine conviction from alumni and friends which is so vitally necessary and upon which a distinguished private college so much depends to continue to make its contribu_tion to young men and women."

At the time of his death, Mr. Lewis ief,t the income from his estate to his sister, Miss Annette Lewis of New York City, with the stipulation that upon her death the principal would come to Trinity. Miss Lewis died in April of this year.

Mr. Lewis, who spent much of his life in farming and forestry in Ridgefield, Conn., spent his later years residing in Atlantic City and New York City. A graduate of St. Paul's School, Concord,

N.H., he attended Trinity, where he was captain of the track team and played football. He received a masters degree in forestry from Yale in 1908 and, during World War II, he served with the Plattsburg (NY) First Training Regiment.

The estate, valued in excess of $2 million, will be established as an endowment fund in memory of the donor's parents, James Ivers Lewis and Susan Kidder Lewis, with the principal · used as general endowment.

James Ivers Lewis was a graduate of Trinity , class of 1862, and served the college as a trustee from 1881 until his death ·in 1890. He was president of the Uncasville Cotton Manufacturing Plant in Montville, Conn.

Charles Lewis, who inherited much of father's cotton buildings, invested in oil stock at the turn of the century and spent most of his life in farming and conservation.

The Lewis bequest is the first received 15y the College in excess of $1 million. The previeus l<!rgest estate received by Trinity was that bequested to the College by Louis Downes in 1956 amounting to $915,000. The Downes Memorial Clock Tower and administration building was built with those funds along with the establishment of the Downes Endowment Fund which has been used to improve faculty salaries. Mr. Downes was the class of '88 and a trustee of the college from 1948 until 1953.

Carillon Concert Series Renewed Hundreds of Connecticut residents -

some armed with picnic baskets, others pushing baby buggies - will be co~ing t? sprawl on the Trinity campus agatn th1s summer as some of the nation's leading carillon players return to play the massive bells which stand 163 fee t above the College Chapel.

The first carillon player will weave his way up the long, spiral staircase to the tower where the 30 gigantic bells are housed on June 23 , at 7 :15 p.m. , beginning a series . of evening concerts which will be held every Wednesday for the entire summer.

The practice of holding free summer carillon concerts began at Trinity in 1'950, some 18 years after the John Landon Plumb Memorial Carillon was cast in the College Chapel Tower, and has become a tradition cherished by residents

of the Greater Hartford area. Guest carillonneurs for 1971 will be:

June 23, David M. Angelica '70, former master carillonneur, Trinity College; June 30, William R. Carlson '66, forme r master carillonneur, Trinity College; July 7, Dionisio Lind , St. Martin's Episcopal Church, New York City ; July 14, James R. Lawson, Riverside Church, New York City; July 21 , George F. Mair, Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts; July 28, Robert B.

RECENT BEQUESTS AND MEMORIAL GIFTS

Trinity acknowledges with a deep sense of loss the passing of alumni and other friends of the College. It seems appropriate to list the bequests aild memorial gifts which have been made to honor them. -

The College has been notified that the estate of Charles A. Lewis '93, who died in 1957, will now accrue to Trinity. This will total more than $2,000,000 for _general purpose endowment. See the separate article in this issue.

Additional gifts have been received in memory of Norton Ives '16 bringing the total to more than $1 ,400.

Gifts totalling $600 have been-received in memory of J. E. Griffith, Jr. '17. The Class of 1918 ,Scholarship Fund has received a gift of $2,856.25 in

memory of Clarence E. Trevor, friend of the Class of 1918 . An additional amount of $2,674.68 has been received from the estate of

RobertS. Lindsay '26 bringing the total bequest to $11,574.36. Gifts to the library book fund in memory of John F . Butler '33 are now in

excess of $2,600. An additional amount of $128,870.62 has been received from the estate of

Newton C. Brainard, Hon. '46 and '59, bringing the total bequest to $250,345.85, which was designated for retirement of indebtedness.

A bequest of $5,000 has been received from the .estate of Edward M. Day for . the Watkinson LibrarY:

In addition, gifts have been received in memory of the following alumni:

Martin W. Clement '01, Hon. '51 RobertS. Morris '16, M.S. '17, Hon. '65 Clinton J. Backus, Jr. '09 Jacob W. Edwards '59 Raymond H. Bentley '13 Richard D. Vosler '67

A Magnificent Gift There are at least two very heartening

things to be said about the bequest of two million dollars Trinity College has just received.

One is primarily factual. Trinity President Lockwood has described the gift from the late Charles A. Lewis, Class of 1893, as "magnificent." And of course it truly is. It is the largest single bequest in the 148-year history of the college- more than twice the amount of the previous biggest estate. In addtion, it

-comes at a· time when private colleges all over the country are feeling an acute financial pinch, making it all the more welcome at the college 'neath the elms.

The second heartening point also finds its text in Mr. Lockwood's words :

"Mr. Lewis has made a lasting contribution to assist us in maintaining the high standards of education which he so cherished as a student some 80 years ago ."

One would like to suppose that all colleges and universities, private or public-supported, are striving to maintain high standards of education. Yet one wonders sometimes how well that

supposition or hope is being borne out. Not alone for want of money, either" Willy-nilly, in many cases education is being reduced to a quantitative rather than a_ qualitative · thing due to the inescapable need for mass production of college students.

Then too, winds of change are blowing across college campuses in these turbulent

- times. Innovations are being demanded-or offered, the value of which is untested, to put it mildly. Whole concepts of education are being redrafted, their validity still existing only in theory . . _

·Thus it is most comforting to ' hear President Lockwood again speak of maintaining high standards. It is also comforting · that Mr. Lewis not only cherished them, but took such a munificent way of securing their continuance. The finest tribute, memorial and thanks to Mr. Lewis reside in Trinity's intention to push ever on for quality education. So, gratitude to all.

Connecticut Public Television M_oving to N e_w Headquarters by Sue Conner CPTV Promotion Department

(This summer Connecticut Public Television, a non-profit independent corporation, will take another big step in its continued rapid growth_ of serving the state when it moves its headquarters and main studio from Boardman Hall to a new building located in 1% acres of land formerly part of the campus.

the educational television stations then in operation, and explored the possibil.ity of putting ETV on the air in Col)necticut. The result was the · formation in December 1959 of the Connecticut Educational Television Corporation.

The new corporation opened negotiatons with a variety of organizations for _support and assistance. First among these was Trinity College which offered space on campus for offices and later for studios. The offer was gratefully accepted and Connecticut ETV Corp. amended its by-laws to state that two representatives of Trinity were to be appointed to its board of trustees

The following story from CPTV relates the part Trinity- has played in the development of this corporation from an idea in 19 58 to a significant communications · medium which reaches thousands of school children daily with in-school programs and blankets most of the homes in the state through a network of four channels.

NEW QUARTERS for -Connecticut Public Television.

In 1967, the Connecticut General Assembly allocated funds for the construction of a new building to house Connecticut Public Television (CPTV).

Land was needed and land was found; The Trustees of Trinity College offered to sell 1 ~ acres at the · edge of the campus ... for one dollar.

This most recent event is an example of the strong relationship and spirit of cooperation that has existed between Trinity and CPTV since the inception of noncommercial television in Connecticut.

During the 1950's, after the.FCC had allocated three educational_TV channels to Connecticut, a commission was appoinled to study the feasibility of the state · activating ETV. The project was found to be t66 cosrry : but th'e s1ate did agree to allow interested groups to apply for the ETV channels.

In 1958, a committee of private citizens-undertook a nationwide study of

The basement of the Library was an early home of Conn. ETV. In the summer of 1962, a small studio, control room and

. offices were constructed there. In 1966, space in Boardman Hall was made available, and the production and programming departments of what is now C onnec ticu t Public Television still operate there.

This summer CPTV will move its headquarters and the Channel 24 staff into new quarters located on New Britain Avenue. The new $1.2 million building, which wHI be dedicated sometime in the early fall, contains some 24,000 square feet and provides for a multi-set television studio as well as for office space for the corporation which operates four televi~ion chan~cls; 24-Hartford, 49-Bridgeport, 53-Norwich and 71 in New Haven. - -- _ · ·

Tfinity students have long been involved with the Connecticut Public J'elevision, even before it went on the air, working as part-time employees on

construction and in production. Their dedication over the years is

legendary. When CPTV covered the state political conventions after the close of the school year, one student part timer drove from Philadelphia to Hartford two weekends to continue his work· behind' the cameras.

Two Trinity graduates who started with Connecticut Public Television when it was operating in the Library basement are Anders S. Yocom ''63 who is today program manager and Alfred Steel '64, now production manager ofCPTV.

Producer Smokey Forester '69 and production assistant Jay Millard '70 and also producer John Cosgrove '66 began their careers as part-time workers. Many other student part timers have gone on t.o careers in communications.

New this yeafis an internship program for academic credit awarded to Richard T. "'Maikovftz -,73 for the-" study of television production techniques. Professor John Dando of the Trinity English departme~t is faculty advisor for the internship.

Another benefit of the close ties between ,the two institutions has been the many cultural imd public affairs programs CPTV has produced with the cooperation .and support of the Trinity faculty . Trinity sports, such as soccer and lacrosse, have been televised and last year the Austin Arts Center was the stage for CPTV's Earth Day program.

John Dando has hosted several programs, including the popular in-school series, "Variations on a Literary Theme."

'The CPTV coverage last year of election primaries which was acclaimed for excellence by the New York Times and the later coverage of election returns depended on the use of the Trinity

computer center. Trinity student Marshall Kennard '72 programmed the computer to tally the votes. Dr. August Sapega directed the project. ·

Trinity _and C_Q_nn.es;ticut J>ublic Television continue · to strengthen 'the bonds between them, as CPTV faces its future in a new building that is, significantly, a part of the Trinity campus.

Student Finds Pqblic TV Internship Rewarding by RichardT. Markovitz '73

Alan N eigher of the Connecticut Consumer Association was in the Newsroom being interviewed by anchorman Pat Sheehan. Just, before the interview the floor manager informed me through the intercom that Pat was dumping a segment we had taped earlier that ni[;nt. One of the participants from a local bottle collector's exhibition had brought some of his interesting liquor bottles to the stuftio. But I could see that Pat wanted to keep Neigher on longer than we had planned so I told the tape engineer that he could take the tape down. At 10:58 the live interview was over and I thought Pat was going to close the show. Instead he read a piece of copy from the UPI wire and then went into the intra for the tape wnich was now back in the can, "Tonight Connecticut Newsroom looks at a new fad for collectors ... a· new sort of hobby."

I spoke quickly into the intercom, "Tell him no, wave your hands, it's not up." The floor manager ran over to the camera arid signaled to Pat. In the control room the tape engineer jumped-he switched the machine back on and grabbed the tap.e. Pat had just read past the roll cue when he caught on and went into a stretch, "We'll have that tape for you shortly," a sign to me that he still wanted it and would have to know when it was ready. The tape was ready in about

. twenty or thirty seconds and 1 called for it to roll right away. I told the floor manager to g~ve Pat five seconds so he would stop his introduction when the

tape was ready to show. Pat stopped his introduction just in time and I took the tape.

"Newsroom" is not an ordinary news show when it comes to directing. It's f~ll of unexpected things which demand that the director be able to think on his feet. But it's also a good show from which to learn directing which is what I did during the past semester with Connecticut Public Television. When Pat was through with the script I would go over it with the floor manager and audio man to deuide where to seat the guests, when to bring thell! in, and how to utilize any visual

materials they might have brought along. As the director I was responsible for coordinating everything that got on the air-cameras, videotape, slides, and film. •·

When the semester began in January ,'1 had experience as a cameraman and floor manager from working part-time for the station since my freshman year. A director, if he's going to be cool and consistent, must be thoroughly familiar with all of the components which make up the television program. The first part of the internship consisted of learning the operation of master control from where the station's broadcasts originate. After this I served as a video switcher for Alf

S tee! (Trinity '64), the product!on manager who is coordinating the internship in line with Trinity's Open Semester procedures. Aher four weeks of switching "Newsroom" and other shows as well as directing· a few interview segments, I was considered ready to direct the "Newsroom" almost by myself. For one more week Alf or another staff director stood behind me while ! sat at the switcher with the script and directed the ·show.

Once the basic fear of directing was overcome, I began to concentrate on using the cameras more effectively. I tried 'to find news shots other than the established ones in addition to ~utting with- more impact. This was a good way to learn directing becaus~ the show offered so many different types of things to cover. There ' was a good combination of the scripted and unexpected- many times we found · that someone will appear on the show only a few minutes before air or else they just show up as Jimmy Breslin did when he spoke at Trinity .

The Open Semester has enabled me to gain exposure to a care e r I am contemplating after college . The important thing to keep in mind is the exposure . I experienced a completely different type of pressure that would never be felt in a college atmosphere. In brief, _ because of the professional responsibility that rested on my sboulders this . past semester, I will welcome and appreciate returning to classes in the fall.

DON WALSH, Connecticut Adjutant General, spoke at the annual scouter's dinner of Charter Oak Council, Boy Scouts of America, on "From Pearl Harbor to Powder Ridge."

-Charlotte Curtis, the New York Times' correspondent on the social front, has brought us news of the first of our classmates (to my knowledge) to face the problems of retirement. ALVAN T. FULLER, JR . has retired from General Motors, and on the occasion his family presented him with a qushion which says "Retirement: Twice as Much Husband, Half as Much ~oney." But those of us who might be concerned that AI and Mrs. Fuller will be trudging from supermarket to supermarket to take advantage of the weekly specials can take heart from the headline of the story which read "Even by Palm Beach Standards, Their Home is a Showplace." They appear to be in high spirits and why not, if the article's description of their retirement home ("a $2 million contemporary palace") conforms to the Times' usual scrupulous standards of accuracy . While the house was under construction they camped out in a three bedroom beachhouse with a terrace, a deck overlooking the Atlantic, an oriental garden and a swimming grotto with a bridge. Not that retirement means idleness. While AI heads the Fuller Foundation and tends the family investments, Mrs. Fuller putters in her garden where, as she says "I plant and weed and I'm happier and closer to God." She states that they prefer to avoid the Palm Beach social whirl and confesses that "our idea of a good time is a glass of champagne together, and I play the piano and he sings."

Crew Bound for Henley The varsity heavyweight crew, winner

of the New England Championship , will again represent the United States in the Ladies Challenge Plate of the Henley Royal Regatta in England.

Since Commencement , the Trin oarsmen have been working out twice a day on the Connecticut River in preparation for the Bantam's second assault on the Ladies Plate at the famed Henley Regatta which will be held this year from June 30 to July 3.

The 1969 crew, the first Trinity eight to go to Henley, fought its way to the finals before losing to Nereus of Holland. A U.S. crew has never won the Ladies Challenge Plate, the second oldest cup in the Regatta having been added in 1845 the same year Washington College in; Connecticut changed its name to Trinity:­The race is open only to college oarsmen but until 1967 it had been ·restricted to crews from the British Isles.

Three members of the present crew went to Henley with the 1969 delegation. They are : Steve Lines, captain and bow oar of the 1971 eight; Jack Reale, No.6 oar and Robert Benjamin at No. 7 oar who rowed with the four with cox on the Thames two years ago.

The 1971 crew finished its regular season undefeated as did the 1969 eight. The present crew won the New England Championship at the ·Rusty Callow by ou tracing 10 other crews and then, after a rugged semi-final race, placed fifth in the nationals at the Dad Vail in Philadelphia.

Despite the fifth place finish the 197 .l

eight had rowed the final in 6:06, the first Trinity crew to speed down the Schuylkill in under 6 :10. "I consider this the fastest crew we have had here since I became coach," said Norm Gra( after the Dad Vail. It is also Trin's heaviest crew, averaging 191 pounds.

To prove Coach Grafs confidence, the fighting 1971 Bantams rebounded from the Vail and on June 5 captured the Franklin Cup for senior eights at the American Henley held for the first time on Lake George.

Now the varsity eight is retraining from the 2,000 meter pace to the mile and 550-yard course at Henley-on-Thames.

The crew will depart from JFK International for London on June 21 with the nine varsity crew members and two spares, John Coyne of the JV eight and Frank Farwell of the varsity lightweights. .

Others plan to join Coach Norm Graf and the 1971 delegation at Henley-on-Thames to cheer the Bantams on June 30 including the Rt. Rev. Walter H. Gray, the new president of the Friends of Trinity Rowing. The Friends are again helping to make the trip possible in addition to each oarsman who pays his own transportation and lodging with a British family near the race site.

The 58'8", 230-pound "Winslow B. Ayer, '43" varsity shell, named for the second president of the Friends (1965) will be flown over on a cargo plane.

On to England, and Good Luck Trinity!
