President's Message Dear Fellow Alumni:

A year and a half ago, we launched the biggest campaign in the history of the College for our urgently needed Field House, a dormitory, an extension to the library, and endowment. This 125th Anniversary Development Program for $1,500,000 was started entirely on faith ­faith that alumni and friends would support with their dollars a Trinity struggling with the unprecedented responsibilities of the post-war period.

The campaign shaped up quickly under the able direction of Northey Jones, '17, Martin Clement, '01, and Bob Morris, '16. These three men did yeoman service. Their enthusiastic leadership never faltered. Judge Philip McCook, '95, Charles Woodward, '98, and the late John P. Elton, '88, were towers of strength. Syd Pinney, '18, stands out as an example of a loyal Trinity man. As chairman of the Greater Hartford alumni area he did a job that will remain an inspiration.

These leaders, the class agents, the area heads, and others too numerous to mention rallied to the support of the College in building up an alumni team which, two weeks before the drive's time limit, reached not only the alumni goal of $500,000 but also the total cam­paign goal of a million and a half dollars. It was the gift of alumnus Charles Woodward that pushed over the top the alumni goal and thereby the total goal.

Cornerstones for Memorial Field House and for Elton Hall (a dormitory named in memory of John P. Elton, '88) were laid at Com­mencement time and the buildings will be completed this fall. A sub­stantial sum will be added to endowment. Large sums were specified for scholarships, and hence despite the attainment of our dollar objective we do not yet have sufficient subscriptions to undertake the library extension. With a total of $359,000 now earmarked for the library (in memory of George N. Hamlin, '91), I have faith that the additional money needed will be given within the next year.

I am personally grateful to the many alumni and friends of the College who gave so much of their time and substance in this great anniversary effort. They have underwritten an opportunity for greater service and guaranteed the continued high standing of Triq.itY among her sister colleges. Their hours of patient toil and of self sacrifice will return many fold as generations of Trinity men, today and tomorrow, receive the blessings of a strengthened Alma Mater.

Sincerely yours,

G. KEITH FuNSTON

e Million and a Half Dollar Fund Goal Reached; Prexy Lays Cornerstones for Two Buildings

•

•

Two HOURS after he announced that the million and a half dollar objective of the 125th Anniver­sary Development Fund had been subscribed two weeks before the campaign's end, President Funston laid the cornerstones for two of the new buildings: a 106-man, $380,000 dormitory to be called Elton Hall, and a $450,000 athletic cage to be called Memorial Field House for the 67 Trinity men who died in World War II.

On the eve of the 125th Anniversary Reunion of alumni, the Development Fund was still several thousand dollars short of its goal. But Charles G. Woodward, '98, College trustee who had been a worker and contributor in six Trinity campaigns since his graduation, handed President Funston a check which put the drive over the top. A $100,000 anonymous addition to scholar­ship endowment and $28,000 in additional gifts from alumni and friends during the last month of the drive put the campaign within striking distance of the goal.

A total of $329,000 was earmarked for scholar­ships and $359,000 was given toward a library addition for which the College will continue to seek supplementary funds needed to permit construction.

Alumni and trustees gave a total of $505,000. With 1968 men participating, the alumni estab­lished one of the highest records of alumni support on record in the many college fund drives now being conducted. Sixty-six percent of T rintey graduates and 53 percent of the entire alumni body subscribed to the Development Fund.

The alumni gifts were supplemented by two large gifts, one of $300,000 for scholarships, and another of $330,000 for the library addition. Stu­dents, parents, and faculty gave $39,000. Hartford friends gave $204,000 and friends outside Hart­ford gave $122,000. The gifts came from a total of 4,170 individuals. Campaign expenses were only 3.2 percent compared with a usual average of six percent.

While several hundred alumni looked on, President Funston laid the cornerstones for the two new buildings. The dormitory was named in memory of John P. Elton, College trustee for 33 years who died last March (see May Bulletin) .

As the Alumni News goes to press, the fourth story and roof of Elton Hall has just been com­pleted and Architect Bob O'Connor, '16, has revealed that a four by five foot carving of the College Seal worked in Indiana limestone will be placed in the fifth story tower.

Educators Elect Funston CoNNECTICUT educators last month elected President Funston to the presidency of the newly formed Connecticut Council on Higher Education.

Although heads of Connecticut colleges have met informally in the past, the new Council re­presents their first formal organization to cooper­ate in solving mutual problems and define policy for higher education in the Nutmeg state. They will serve in an advisory capacity to the State Education Department.

AI umni Gather for I 2. 5th Anniversary Reunion DESPITE dreary sheets of rain - nothing new to New England this spring- the 125th Anniver­sary Reunion was most successful and well attended by alumni from many parts of the country, and even China! Fortunately the rain let up Saturday morning and although it caused the cancellation of the baseball game with Yale, all other activities went on as planned.

The weekend opened with the annual Faculty­Alumni dinner in Albert C . Hamlin Dining Hall followed by fraternity reunions at the Chapter Houses. On Saturday morning Chaplain O'Grady conducted Holy Communion and Memorial services for the Trinity men who died during the year. At the latter service the 1896 Pew end was dedicated by Murray Coggeshall, '96, President Funston and Chaplain O'Grady.

The Senior Class Day exercises had to be transferred into the Chemistry Auditorium. The Class Committee under the direction of Mike Campo planned a fine program which featured the Class History by Ted Lockwood, the Class Poem by John Fandel and the Class Prophecy by Norton Hinkley. Judge Philip J. McCook, '95, presented the McCook Trophy to Red Faber and Paul Adams, '35, awarded the "1935" Football Trophy to Roger Bestor. H arold L. Smith, '23, alumni trustee, gave the address and defended politics as "a science of civil govern­ment, and not something sordid from which an educated man should recoil."

Judge Creedon presided at the alumni meeting at which the new alumni constitution was presented and unanimously adopted. Reports were given by Albert E. Holland, '34, on Ad­missions; by William R. Peelle, '44, on Alumni Work and by Robert M. Bishop on Public Relations. Lispenard B. Phister, '18, reported for the Trustees that George C . Capen, '10, had been reelected Alumni Trustee for a three year term, and that Clarence E. Sherman, '11, and John S. McCook, '35, had been reelected Senior Fellows for three years.

President Funston in his report besides giving the heartening news on the 125th Anniversary Development Program read resolutions concern­ing the retirement of Professors Swan and Humphrey. Professor Swan was present and recalled his early days on campus, and noted that the College needed more funds for endowed beds at the Hartford Hospital. He concluded with the remark that "certainly the ugly duckling here didn't turn into a beautiful Swan, it's still Ducky!"

President Funston concluded his remarks by noting that the College expects 850 students next fall with 500 of them living on campus. He outlined the R 0 T C program briefly and expressed his belief that its arrival on campus is

timely. The president stressed the continual search for faculty replacements and stated much of his energy would be expended in that direction.

In addition to the four national officers, the following alumni were elected to office: the Rt. Rev. Lauriston L. Scaife, '31, of Buffalo, and Karl W. Hallden, '09, of Thomaston, Junior Fellows; Harvey Dann, '31, of New York City, alumni representative on athletic advisory com­mittee; Hugh S. CampbeU~ '32, of Hartford, Edwin G .

Reiche, '08, of Bristol, Norton lves, '16, of Detroit, and Frederick C. Hinkel, Jr., '06, of New York City, committee to nominate the alumni trustee.

On behalf of the Philadelphia Alumni Asso­ciation, Norman D. C. Pitcher, '26, presented a gavel made from a Trinity Elm to President Funston for use in faculty and student meetings.

Class day concluded with the president's reception and the various reunion class dinners at Heub's and the University Club. The 1823 Dinner was well attended and featured songs old led by Bob Morris, '16.

• Pitchfork Players Pitch In LAST SUMMER an enterprising youth from Trinity College began to tour New England with a crazy idea in his head and not a cent in his jeans. No, it wasn't another Johnny Appleseed, but his goal seemed even madder than Johnny's to those who heard about it. Now what would a personable young man, obviously educated, and just as obviously broke, want to do with an "abandoned building about the size of a church or a schoolhouse?" Was the housing situation that bad? No, it wasn't. Not for George Dessart who had a comfortable bed at the Alpha Delt house on Trinity campus. What he was looking for was a summer theatre, or at least a pros­pective one, and eventually he found it.

This year THE PITCHFORK PLAYHOUSE in Sharon, Conn., is no longer a wild scheme, but an established fact, and its second season on the straw hat circuit is now in full swing. Don Craig, who has been president of the Jesters this past winter, and their first student director, is back at his post as director at the Playhouse. His talents are not always confined to coaching, however. Since the company is small and on an "everyone-pitch-in" basis, Don is often seen hammering away on sets or dashing past with gelatin paper for the lights. Both he and George are able carpenters and electricians by now, and

in addition don greasepaint to turn in admirable performances on stage in true ex-Jester fashion.

Michael Campo, another Trinity alumnus and Jester, is the linguist of the company, who in addition to his handling of mature and diffi­cult roles all summer is often pressed into service as interpreter when some of the Playhouse's cosmopolitan patrons find the going a bit rough in English. And Pete Stokes, the man whose versatility amazed audiences all summer long, is also back again after his superb performance in the Jesters' last-of-the-season show, "Men in White. "

Delta Phi Returns Lemon Squeezer Since 1895 when Sam Ferguson, '96, galloped off on horse­

back after a successful theft of the lemon squeezer by his class , the original squeezer put into circulation in 1857 has been missing. The famous coup by the Class of 1896 is depicted on a new chapel pew end given by Murray Coggeshall who waved a handkerchief to signal D-hour for the class prank more than half a century ago.

But in the middle of a service dedicating the pew end during Class Day on June 19, a procession of Delta Phi fraternity men (see picture below) filed out of the Chapel of Perfect Friendship to return the original lemon squeezer which had been hidden at the Delta Phi house for 53 years. The presen­tation (right) was made by Frederick C. Hinkel, '06, to an amazed President Funston, while Mr. Coggeshall and Chaplain O'Grady looked on.

There are least three substitute lemon squeezers also in hiding which have been used since 1895 for the famous awards to the best class in College.

The Glue that Holds the World Together

• Excerpts from the Open Air Service Address by

CHARLES P. TAFT Upon whom the honorary degree of

Doctor of Laws was conferred

I APPROACH this world as a good deal of an optimist. Yet as a politician, the approach must be, I hope, realistic .

My optimism is based upon the extraordinary resiliency of the human spirit. I knew something about the extent of destruction by the Germans of industrial equipment and power plants and port facilities in Italy as they retreated north. I knew about the seemingly bottomless pit in Italy into which we and the British were throwing millions of dollars of food and supplies, where no prewar record seemed to give promise of getting the country on its feet again. Yet its comeback is one of the most encouraging ele­ments in Europe today. Transportation and production in Western Europe is back, in two years and a half, to prewar levels . Little people did that, bit by bit.

A second element in my opinion is the kind of faith Wickham Steed describes in a debate fifty years ago and more in Paris, between Jaures, the great French socialist leader, and LaFargue, the son-in-law of Karl Marx. LaFargue argued that ideals were the fraudulent means by which the masters of the state foo led the people; Marx took God out of history, he said. But Jaures insisted that, important as economic elements were, and job security, at the great crises in history it was the ideals of liberty and justice that turned the tide. I believe that profoundly. Theodore Roosevelt said a good many years ago that he put peace above everything except righteousness. Where the two come into con­flict, he supported the righteousness. This is God 's world, and we cannot live in it with peace and quietness for our own souls except as we try to distinguish between good and evil, and fight for good. We humans are driven to cul­tivate the voice of conscience, and we live by the leaders who have a platform and the courage to speak from it for their ideals.

That kind of a world is not all beautiful, and

6

we need to look at it with wide open and obser-vant eyes to see it as it truly is. Someone studied a shoe strike in Massachusetts last year to see what were the driving motives among the strikers. One group was deeply resentful of those who had more money or more security than they, the salaried workers, the bosses. Another was likely to blame the foreigners for all its difficulties. They might be immigrants themselves, or the children of immigrants, but the foreigner was anyone who had come more recently. The A absentee owner was the same kind of outsider. • Another group was profoundly frustrated because the Horatio Alger story didn't work out in real life. Hard work didn't push you up, because the bosses didn't recognize it. Education didn't help either, even for your children, so they felt.

I was tremendously interested in that analysis. I don't accept it completely, because it takes a most sensitive listening ear in an interviewer to get behind the current catch phrases to the real innards of a person's soul troubles. But the analysis was an exact parallel with an essay of two English socialists on the causes of war as seen in the conduct of ch'ilt:lren. Children fight for possession of things; they fight the outsider; and they fight anybody to take out the frustra­tion they feel when hurt by somebody or some­thing they can't get back at directly. War grows from these simple feelings in simple people, plus the more complicated frustration that I am afraid most of us share in. Most of our living for which we need to complete our education in adjustment, is in dealing with people who react that way. Our education, I am afraid, has not helped us much to meet that.

College courses are apt to reflect another characteristic of our present world, an extreme of pessimism among intellectuals and idealists. We are told that our capitalist system is decaying rapidly and inevitably, that the masses are rising A

Graduate Largest Class in College History A SUNNY DAY greeted the two hundred and thirty-seven seniors, seventeen masters' candi­dates and six honorary degree recipients at the College's one hundred and twenty-second Com­mencement exercises. Led by Marshal Robert P. Waterman, '32, the long line marched down the campus to Northam Towers where nearly one thousand parents, wives, sons, daughters and friends had assembled for the colorful ceremonies.

Dr. Allan Nevins, twice Pulitzer prize winner and professor of history at Columbia, in the Commencement address expressed his belief that the world possesses "immediate means of building a far brighter, safer and sounder civil­ization."

President Funston charged the class to "realize that as liberally educated men you will be ex­pected to work much harder than most in trans­lating faith into accomplishment as the self­reliant heads of happy families, as intelligent and educated citizens of democracy and also as obedient servants of Almighty God."

Dr. Nevins told the largest graduating class in Trinity history that the traditional platitudes of the Commencement address were unnecessary this year because "many have proved their understanding of their duties somewhere between lwo Jima in the Orient and the Rhine in Europe."

Dr. Nevins believes that the most significant fact of 1948 is the "ever-heightened contrast between the destructive and the constructive powers of mankind."

Among the great forces now working out the future of mankind Dr. Nevins cited the slow industrialization of Asia and Africa, the popula­tion increases of Eastern Europe and Asiatic Russia, emerging new power centers in India, Russia, Canada, and Australia, the replacing of the concept of national sovereignty with that of international government, and the commercial use of atomic energy.

To swing the balance of scientific advancement toward the constructive side, Dr. Nevins de­clared that "never was the determined effort of the individual man and woman more contin­uously needed," for although man's fortunes are largely shaped by single leaders such as Hitler, Roosevelt, or Churchill, "lesser men may count valiantly."

As an example, he reviewed the accomplish­ments of Frederick Law Olmstead, a boy raised in Hartford almost a century ago who became a great landscape architect designing the Central, Riverside and Morningside Parks in New York, wrote three books on slavery, and helped found the Natural History Museum and Metropolitan

7

Museum of Art; and who in his college years wrote a friend, "There's a great work wants doing in this generation, Charlie- let's off jacket and go about it."

As dignified Orey Gracey, Wethersfield senior, stepped down from the platform with his di­ploma, his young son, Douglas, could not con­tain himself and piped out "Hi Daddy!"

Lieutenant General Robert K. S. Lim, surgeon general of the Chinese Army, flew from Shanghai to see his son James graduate. He made the trip in five days. Before returning to China he will attend the International Polio Conference in New York City and also will confer with the Chinese embassy officials on early application of China aid funds voted by Congress.

Clifford H. Perkins, '16, head of the commer­cial department at Keene, New Hampshire, High School, received his Bachelor of Science degree. He had completed his course requirem.ents at Harvard and Boston University. His youngest son, James, will enter Trinity in September.

Fleming Calls for Use of T alents The Rev. Dr. Frederic S. Fleming, rector of

the Parish of Trinity Church in New York City, was prevented from delivering the baccalaureate sermon by a throat operation. His sermon was read by the Rev. Joseph S. Minnis of the Chapel of the Intercession of Trinity Parish.

Each individual must administer the endow­ments and talents given him as "spendthrift, benefactor, or miser," Dr. Fleming wrote, and urged abolition of the attitude that "whatever one may try to do, many others can do it better." For, he added, "the one talent man is just as necessary and essential as the man to whom many talents are given."

Honorary degree recipients: Front row, Henry D . B. Moore, Norfolk, Conn., Master of Arts; (President Funston); Allan Nevins, New York City, Doctor of Lerters. Back row, the Very Rev. Paul Roberts, '09, Denver, Doctor of Divinity; the Rev. Dr. Frederic S. Fleming, New York City, Doctor of Divinity; the Rev. Dudley S. Stark, '17, Chicago, Doctor of Divinity; Mr. Charles A. Goodwin, Hartford, Doctor of Laws. Thomas B. McCabe, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, was unable to be present due to illness.

Air Force ROTC Program Established on Cam pus IN MAY Trinity was selected for an Air Force Reserve Officers Training Program which will make it possible for undergraduates to study military science on an elective basis and earn Air Force commissions during their normal four-year course of study.

President Funston noted in his announce­ment that "this participation in the Air Force R 0 T C program gives Trinity a timely oppor­tunity to contribute to the national military preparedness program. Trinity has always en­deavored to serve the nation to the best of her ability and military preparedness is today cer­tainly in the nation's best interest."

The program will have an immediate effect on the eligibility of undergraduates for the draft. All R 0 T C students who pass the written exami­nation and physical test will be deferred from Army service until graduation and then required to serve two years as commissioned officers.

There is no flying required in the Air Force R 0 T C program. The new air unit at the College would give training in a ground special­ization and clear the way for later flying training for graduate officers who desire it. Graduate R 0 T C cadets are given a priority for entry into pilot training second only to West Point graduates providing they are physically qualified to meet flying requirements. Three Air Force officers will be appointed to the College faculty to teach in the new program. They will be as­sisted by three non-commissioned officers.

The elementary courses in the freshman and sophomore year are intended to give basic military training which would be of benefit to the student if he later becomes a member of the military forces . Courses are open to non-veterans and require three hours of work each week.

The advanced course in the junior and senior year is intended to produce junior officers. They will study five hours a week in military subjects. Veterans with a year or more of service may enter the advanced courses without further pre­requisite. All enrollees in the advanced courses are paid $24 a month by the government. Under the two year contract for the advanced course, students agree to accept a commission after graduation and attend a six-week summer camp at an active Air Force base during the va­cation between the junior and senior years.

Upon graduation, commissions will be awarded. The entire program will be under College control and supervision. The Air Force will recommend faculty members for the new depart­ment, but appointment is a prerogative of the College.

Tripod Issues Subscription Call The Trinity Tripod first attracted the attention of the public, this year, by publishing an extra, carrying the results of the Wesleyan football game, which was sold on the newsstands of Hartford and distributed on campus the evening of the game. Honoring Trinity's 125th Anniver­sary, the Tripod published a special six-page issue, distributed at the open house on May 15, dealing with the Charter Weekend and the Senior Ball.

The Tripod publishes twenty-six four to six page issues during the College year. The first edition next fall will appear on September 22.

If you wish a subscription for 1948-1949, please send your check for $3.00 payable to the Trinity Tripod, Box 60, Trinity College, Hartford 6, Conn.

Government Becomes Department THE HisTORY and Political Science Department has been divided into separate departments for history and government. Dr. Laurence L. Barber will head the new government section and Dr. D. G. Brinton Thompson will be the acting chairman of history.

During the years there have been gradual changes in the subject matter of history and political science so that it will be an advantage a to students wishing to follow government as a • career. Trinity, being located in a metropolitan center, is well adapted for the specialized study of government. Students make field trips to Hartford governmental offices for case studies, and government officers are frequently on campus giving lectures on various practices.

Holland Reports 225 Accepted for 1952 Class ADMISSION to the Class of 1952 of 225 men who are outstanding for scholarship, character, and leadership ability was reported to alumni at the annual meeting by A lbert E. Holland, assistant to the president.

Statistically one of the best classes ever ad­mitted, the new group includes 150 resident and 75 non-resident men. Forty-nine of the non­resident students are members of the National H onor Society of top scholars and three are Fox scholars. Twelve resident students are valedic­torians and all have been active in extra-curricular affairs.

In the class as a whole, 145 graduated on the honor roll of their school, 33 were president of their graduating class or of the student council , 90 were members of their student council, 20 were editors of school papers , and they won a total of 263 varsity letters in major sports while many were interested in dramatics, glee club, and church activities.

Mr. H olland said that Trinity is working for both an economic and geographical cross section with men equally d ivided between high and preparatory schools coming from 18 states and seven foreign countries. Eastern colleges will find it increasingly difficult, he said, to get good men from the West and South because of the expense involved. He therefore recommended increased alumni support of scholarship funds.

Adding that the majority of the incoming class have alumni recommendation, Mr. H olland expressed thanks to the many alumni who had helped with admissions work. "The concrete evidence of your fine work," he said, "can be seen in the outstanding work done by the present student body."

College Hires Professionals To Save Campus Elms

A DETERMINED effort to keep the Dutch Elm disease from the Trinity Campus is reported by Treasurer Joseph W. Getzendanner, Jr.

Slowly but surely, the destructive fungus is sweeping through Connecticut. The Public Works Department of the City of Hartford has predicted the virtual destruction of elm trees throughout the city by 1951 or 1952 unless there is a change in the trend or some new discovery for fighting the disease. The Dutch Elm disease was first noted in Hartford in 1943 and the number of trees blighted has been multiplied by five during

~.

each subsequent year. Last year 120 trees were lost and the prediction for this year is more than 500.

Dutch Elm disease, a severe infection, is a fungus growth which circulates through the tree with the movement of the sap. The spores are carried by a small elm bark beetle which hatches in the crevices of the bark. There is no sure preventive.

The College has an annual contract with a reliable local tree service company which pro­vides for regular care through feeding, spraying and pruning. This seems to be the best way of keeping out the disease inasmuch as the elm beetles are much more prone to attack older or unhealthy trees.

in revolution as they feel overwhelmed by a dark and impenetrable fate. We are assured that only the Government can save us. I agree that the complexity of some of our problems, like the wage-price-profit relationships, and the inflationary spiral, and the high cost of living, are frightening, and push one to escape in re­liance on somebody in Washington. I agree that the fanaticism and irresponsibilities and refusal to compromise of the pressure groups, farmers and veterans and labor and manufacturers, are discouraging and threatening.

But the Government is men and women, and we are driven back to the basis problem in your adjustment by adult education to the way people work together, and the way leadership is related to the groups in which they work.

We begin in our attack on the problem with only too little sound background acquired in school and college. The knowledge of human relations and motives has failed signally to keep up with the knowledge of science and technology. We start with assumptions about economic man, and we continue to believe that people operate by a logical self-interest. They don't ...

The talk about the masses, about a rabble, is pure poppycock, invented by the dictator for his own purposes. There is no sand heap of indifferentiated individuals, but individuals all different, gathered together in family and social and work groups, in schools, towns, countries, unions, plants. The effort of the dictators to destroy all except the groups they dominate is bound to fail, because people aren't like that.

Chester Barnard approaches the problem from the organization point of view. Authority works only as it is accepted by those on whom it is exercised. Only by the careful preparation of each integrated group from the top down can orders really be carried out. Each group fits into each other in a descending pyramid, or a series of concentric circles. In each group the effective working out of the order comes only as each shares in its development, as the muleskinners shared in planning their rest periods. The con­ference method is the effective as well as the democratic process.

Working with groups then, usually small ones of ten or fifteen, is the heart of our adult educa­tional job. That process cries out for leadership. Someone has to bring the conference to a head, to guide it to a decision that makes sense, to steer it in harmony with its whole interrelation­ship to the rest of the community.

Sometimes the leadership has to open new fields. Henry L. Stimson was put in as U. S. Attorney in New York in 1906. He had to devise the form of organization and enlist the men who could get his job done of prosecuting the illegal rebaters and the sugar thieves.

1898-1948 Mr. Henry R. Remsen, '98, wrote the fol­

lowing poem /or his Fiftieth Reunion Dinner which was attended by Messrs. Cole, Foot, Lecour, Lord, Waterman and Woodward.

Where the cliffs of Brittany Silent, watch the sounding deep Sunk in an enchanted sleep

Lives a city 'neath the sea

Thence, I have heard peasants telling When the sun is sinking low

And the ocean scarce seems swelling In it's quiet ebb and flow

Soft! y, soft! y comes a stealing Over all the country side

Sounds of fairie bells a-pealing In the sainted even-tide

And the soul that learns that music Lives, forever satisfied

So from Life's untroubled ocean In our quiet even-time

There shall rise with glad emotions Echoes ringing, chime on chime

And our minds, those sunken cities Stored with thoughts of former days

Swift shall sing us, olden ditties Of our College life and ways.

And the heart that learned that music Links it to all newer lays.

Building so no "Bridge of Sighs" But a Bridge of Song

Spanning in it's framing arch­Fragile arch , but strong­

College days of last "Good-Byes" With where we now belong.

Thus nothing " in between" shall part Comrades of the Singing Heart.

There may be needed the political gumption to put these principles to work in a reform movement, as Seasongood and Bentley and Heintz did in Cincinnati. This process gets increasingly more difficult and requires better and better understanding of people, and in­creasingly inspired leadership.

In all these efforts you have had little enough training. A course on human relations at one of the universities in New York City, and the Great Issues Course at Dartmouth, are the only ones I know of that touch on this field.

Against any such devotion on your part to public and community service stand many ogres and sirens and seemingly impenetrable forests. Necessity for earning a living. One of the worst and most annoying ogres is the blind stupidity of individuals in positions of influence and power. They seem to win out often for some time, and occasionally they do in fact win. But death catches up with the worst of them and their ideas do not have the same persistence as the ideals for which Jaures spoke. Look only to the effects of Christian principle down through the centuries on seemingly persistent evils. And look even more at the deep satisfaction of the lives of those who fought even unsuccessfully for what they knew was God's purpose in the world. That is the glue that holds the world together.

T

Ogilby Manuscript Is Source for New Brent Biography

The Rev. Dr. Alexander C. Zabriskie has recently published Bishop Brent, Crusader for Christian Unity (Westminister Press). Dr. Ogilby, the Bishop's faithful disciple and confidante in the Philippines, spent years gathering material for the book. When he died in 1943, the Ogilby and Brent families turned over to Dr. Zabriskie the task of completing the book which had to be drastically compressed because of publisher's requirements.

Dr. Zabriskie, Dean of the Virginia Theological Seminary and one of the Church's leading students, has done a splendid piece of work. He has dedicated the book in memory of Dr. Ogilby -"Priest, Missionary, Army Chaplain, Edu­cator ... " Bishop Brent, Honorary 1920, a leader of men, had many interesting and enter­taining experiences in the Philippines with Dr. Ogilby, and the biography is an excellent tribute to one of the outstanding church leaders of our time.
