JESTERS TO GIVE PLAYS JUNIOR PROM WEEK-END

With the opening game of the sea­son only a few days away, Coach Ray Oosting has been putting his charges through several stiff practice ses­sions, in order to have them in first­class condit ion for the 1933-34 debut. Trinity wiU meet two opponents, the Leads Given Hurd and O'Connell New York Aggies, and Haverford, be- in Pieces by Thurston fore the Christmas recess. The sea- and Banning son's curtain raiser, with the Aggies as the opposition. will be played in the Hartford High School gymnasium on December 16. The squad will travel to Haverford, Pa., for its sec­ond encounter on December 19.

The starting lineup will probably see Mart;!ns and Liddell at the for­ward posts, Daut in the center posi­tion, and Captain Kelly and Kearns taking care of the backcourt assign­ments. This group is well experienced and well balanced. In practice, this combination has been the most con­sistent in all-around teamwork. In addition to the veteran five, Coach Oosting has eight reserves on the varsity >quad. The reserves include: centers, Warner, who was a member of the varsity and junior varsity squads last year, and Nelson, a prom­ising first year man; forwards, Sam­pers, a substitute varsity forward last year, who will undoubtedly see much service this season Ferrucci, another Freshman who has shown up well, and Dunne, junior varsity forward last year; guards, Fritzson, who will •be ready to step into a guard berth for relief duty, Weber, another experi­enced player in the backcourt, and

On Monday, December 11, rehear­sals began on two one-act plays to be presented by the Jesters during the Junior Prom week-end. The first is "The Exchange", by Althea Cooms­Thurston, and the second is "Copy" by Kendall Banning, who adapted the play from the ~:>tory by Harold Kel­lock.

Tryouts for the several parts in these two plays were held on Thurs­

day, December 7, in the Greek r om, and a number of men reported for trial readings. Selections from both plays We".ce read by those competing

for parts, and their work was passed on by the judges. On Friday the names uf those to whom parts had been awarded were posted on the bul­letin ·board.

Lay, the aggressive city editor in "Copy", is to be played by O'Connell. The part of Thomas, self-assured and overly-confident reporter, was given to Patton. The ro-les of Pratt, Adams, Baldwin, and Wilson, other reporters on the .1taff of the "City ~ews", are •assigned, respectively, to Manion, Bauer, Hoehling, and Crawford. The part of the office ·boy, Jimmy, will be played by Randall. These seven characters comprise the complete cast of "Copy."

In Thurston's, "The Exchange", the part of the Judge, a tall, gray-haired man and "exchanger of miseries", was awarded to Hurd. The Judge's roguish office boy, Imp, wiU be portrayed by Sinclair. Burnside has the part of a poor man. The roles of a vain woman and a rich citizen will be played, re­spectively, by Fisher and Dunbar.

Mtary E. Woolley of Mount Holyoke College was the guest of honor at a luncheon in Hartford given by those in charge of the group of girls here who are taking the work of the Fresh­man year under the instruction of professors from Mount Holyoke. Some time ago the needs of girls in Hartford who wanted to go to col­lege but were unable to arrange for the expense of going away were put before the Faculty of Trinity. Presi­dent Ogilby arranged with the author­ities of Mount Holyoke to set up a freshman year for girls here in Hart­ford. Classes are taught at the Y. W. C. A. by members of the faculty of Mount Ho-lyoke with some help from the Trinity Faculty. The project is said to be a success and President Woolley was much pleased to have this luncheon with the girls of Mount Holyoke in Hartford with President Ogilby and other guests.

Coach Clark announced his tenta­tive lineup for the meet with the Coast Guard. In the medley relay, he will probably use Captain Coit, Dicker­son, Day or Hyde. Motten and Tucker will swim in the 220-yard free stylP, and Mowbray and A. Hall will be used in the 50-yard free style. Angus and S. Smith are the divers.

Motten and Ellsworth will most likely swim in the 440-yard free style. Dickerson, and either Merriman, Ross, Sinclair, Winship, or Schoolnick will be used in the 150 - yard backstroke. For the 200-yard breaststroke Coach Clarke has Coit and Senftleben; for the 100-yard free style, Mowbray and A. Hall; and for the 400-yard relay, A. Hall, Day, Hyde, and Mow­bray.

In addition to the present schedule, a meet with Massachusetts State has been arranged.

At a meeting of the Athenaeum So­ciety held in Seabury 5, MQnday eve­ning, November 27, a debate was held on the topic, "Resolved, The United States Should Control All Water Power." The negative side of Rulnick and Dunbar defeated the affirmative side of Senftleben and Martino.

Before the debate, the society voted to hold its meetings once every other Monday. It is hoped this plan will concentrate the interest at each meet­ing and also g:ive the members more time to qtudy.

The judges of the debate, Howard and Dumont, ;~warded the decision to the negative side because they out­lined a clear argument backed by con­cise proofs.

The winning side advanced many points which showed that the control of electricity by the government would be inefficient. The financial view­point was stressed. Rulnick and Dun-

NEW PEW -END UNVEILED; GIVEN BY G. M. BRINLEY

Ceremony Takes Place Sunday Morning-Donor Present

at Service

Two carved pew-ends have recently been put in place in the College Chapel. One, the gift of the Rever­end Godfrey M. Brinley, of the Class of '88, was unveiled with appropriate ceremony on Sunday morning, Decem­ber 10. Mr. Brinley presented tte pew-end t0 remember the Class of 1888 and Dr. Ogilby received and blessed it.

Dr. Ogilby then spoke briefly of the significance of the pew-end. The panel represents three young men, Newman, Keble, and Pusey, talking in the Quad of Oriel College, Oxford. Just a hundred years ago these three men with certain of their associates succeeded in arousing a large number of people in England to a realization of spiritual values. The Church or England at that time had fallen into inactivity and decay. The Oxford Movement brought new life · to the Church, both in England and in this country.

Dr. Ogilby explained that the preacher on the armpiece of the pew-end is Bishop Hobart. He was Bishop of New York, and for a brief time acted as Bishop of Connecticut. In 1823, the year of the founding of Trinity, he went abroad for two years on account of his health. While at Oxford he held cc·nversations with the men of Oriel and probably had something to do with starting what has been called the Oxford Movement.

On the finial at the top of the peW'• end are carved the arms of Oriel Col­lege and of Oxtford University. This represents a link between England and America, . as Cecil Rhodes, Wh'J established the Rhodes Scholarships, was a graduate of Oriel.

On the other side of the chapel is a new pew-end given by various members of the family of Mr. John Gregory W·iggins, the wood-carver who has done all the carving in the chapel. On the armpiece is a rep­resentation of Bishop Chase, one of his ancestors, who was Bishop of the territory now Ohio, Indiana, and Illi­nois. 'rhe original Wliggins' ancestor ran a ferryboat across the Mississippi River and, accordingly, the panel shows St. Christopher, the patron saint of ferrymen and travelers, carrying the Christ Child across a stream. At the top of the pew-end is Charon guiding his ferrybo.at across the River Styx.

FOOTBALL-LOOKING FORWARD

Before talk of football becomes entirely out of order, there are one or two things in connection with this sport at Trinity that should be discussed in these columns. We are growing a trifle weary of listening to the complaints of irritated alumni and undergraduates concerning the schedule for next year. We are g.rowing irritated ourselves, for we can find no reason for the existence of such a schedule. Therefore, that our unhappy frame of mind may be dispelled, we humbly ask someone who knows to inform us and a considerable number of curious individuals why, after the season its team has just completed, Trinity should be forced into a schedule such as the one drawn up for 1934.

Perhaps not everyone knows or recalls the nature of next fall's gridiron program. Well, it seems that Trinity is to have a "set, up" for its opening game. This was no doubt arranged with a worthy motive in mind-that of re-arranging the schedule so that the team might work up, through a series of games increasingly .difficult, to the season's climax-the Wesleyan game. But we can't see that a "set-up" would benefit a Trinity team. In the first place, such games are the privilege only of the mightier and more athletically astute universities of the land. Secondly, we think that in our case a contest of this sort would merely postpone the necessary opportunity to engage in competition that might give the players an accurate idea of their capabilities and the .coach a line on his team. Indeed, we have overheard more than ·one member of the team express preference for defeat at the hands of a good team rather than a landslide victory over a team far out of our class.

There is also the matter of the annual game with a neighbor­ing institution, which generally comes in mid-season. It has now reached the point where this contest reveals nothing more than a minimum· of good football, much of the undesirable type of play tlla.t we shall refer to merely as "rough", and a reaction on the pa.rt. of the team wholly unfavorable to the peak of spirit and condition th,at is expected at the half-way mark. Again and .again players have expressed their aversion to this annual affair, but it continues to grace our schedule.

We have reliable information to the effect that Brown wants us listed among its opponents next year. The details of the mat­ter we do not know, but we should like to see a partial restoration of the type of opposition that Trinity's pre-war teams encoun­tered. How much more satisfying it would be to have Brown as a prospective rival than the team now on our schedule! In short, 'why can't our football team have a schedule worthy of its ability? We look for an explanation from the powers that be.

COMMUNICATION To the Editor of the Trinity Tripod:

Thank you for the Alumni issue of the Tripod. I have read it from cover to cover. Kindly enter my subscrip­tion and enclosed please :find my check.

The team this year was very good, and its success put joy in the hearts of us oldtimers.

,On page 3, under "Statistics of Teams from 1900 to Present"-you state "In both 1907 and 1911 the teams were defeated, but twice in eight games." May a very ancient

a.lumnus make a correction? The 1911 team was not defeated.

Brown and New York University held the team to tie scores; but Colg;ate, Amherst, Wesleyan, and the other teams on the schedule were defeated. You do not mention the team of 1910, which won seven straight games and lost the la8t game to the Army, 17 to 0.

Please pardon an old man's pride in the teams of his time.

However, you did have a splendid team this year and we are very proud of you.

Very truly yours, JOHN B. MOORE, 1913.

COLLEGE LIFE HERE ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

The letters written home by Henry

and William Elliott give indication of the development of postal facilities

during this century. Envelopes and

postage &U!mps had not then come in­

to use. The letters were so folded that none of the writing except the

address appeared on the outside, and

they were then sealed in wax. vne gathers from these letters that

cut-thro•Jt rushing was quite the cus­tom in these days.

"What an easy & pleasant time Freshmen have for the first three days. They are glutted with pies, oysters, cigars, ale, &c., to their fill. They have twenty in their room from five in the morning till eleven at night. All is attention & polite­ness. Thus the world goes. The poor Fresh, have finally joined our society, & I suppose are glad to gain a little repose."

Here is some interesting advice about preparation for entrance exam­inations, which little Sophia is asked to pass on to Samuel. It is surely applicable today.

" ... . .. Nothing very special has occurred since Monday other than that two new students from Vir­ginia have entered our class, & there is a little electioneering among the societies ... .. .

I l ike the college more and more the longE'r I stay .. 1 •• .As soon as you get this letter, I wish you would counsel Samuel a little about his .studies. For instance in this man­ner. (Samuel, if you do not h ave time to go over all your studies thoroug-hly, do not try, for you need not fea1· that you will not be re­ceived because you have not read all the books prescribed. The pro­fessors look more to the general qualifications, the thoroughness with which the student has read the studies which he has gone over. Above nll, you will find it for your advantage to learn well the gram­mars & parsing & arithmetick. I would not read much of Sallust un­less you have plenty of time, enough to get his stile. Nor should I be very scrupulous to read all the Greek reader. One that entered with me had not read the last hun­dred pages. or so. I would read

. m o s t of Cicero, and that thor­oughly.''

The final quotation from the letters of these two brothers gives an inter­esting comparison between Washing­ton College on the one hand, and Har­vard and Yale on the other. Publica­tions in Cambridge, M:assachusetts, and 'New Haven, Connecticut, may copy!

"This forenoon, Mjr. Williams, a .member of the senior class and a JI'eal excellent fellow was in our room. He was for freshman and sophomore year a member of Cam­bridge College, the first in rank of any in our land. He left it for this one o~ account of a change in his religious belief. He said that the standard of study was not near as high there as it is here, that they recite nut once a day, & not the half of the time in the senior class on account of the absence of the professor. He said he had' tried to get some of the students to come .here, but they thought they could get along easier there, that they were not examined after the Fresh­man year, nor for degrees. At Yale ·College 1his is much the case. They study hard when a prize is held out -lthen it is over. It is not the steady, effectual study which we have he:ce. We recite three times a day, & where the numbers are so small, 1t is but reasonable to sup­pose that our professors would be active to gain the college a reputa­tion, & that is the fact. They are always regular at their post, hard­working men. For this & sundry reasons I really think it is best for my Brattleboro friends to come here to college. Mr. Holland says he knows of twenty-two that are coming next fall."

COMMUNICATION To the Editor of the Trinity Tripod:

Unlike most freshmen, I had already decided my course of study. I wished to major in Eng.lish, net intending to follow this course for mercenary gains, but for my own pleasure a nd enjoyment, a paramount consideratioll in selecting a course of study.

I was unpleasantly surprised when I learned that another course in Mathematics was necessary for my degree-this, regardless of the Ifact that I had had four years of the sub­ject in preparatory school. After I had finished talking to my adviser at registration, I found one English course on my schedule. The biggest blow of all was the fact that I had to take French and German, two years of each. I had already completed two years of Latin ~nd three of Spanish! Then Chemistry was forced upon me, with the understanding that I was to take two other sciences before gradua­tion.

I found myself d'ree to select one course, and pounced upon History. I wandered back to my room in Nor­tham in a daze. What was this all about? I had come to college to pur­sue a course I was interested in, and found myself taking every other course, but the one that I had selected. Could it l.le that the classrooms in that subject were filled? No, everyone could not want to take English.

During my second and third years I have almost completed my require­ments for a degree. I am finishing two courses in Geology, and my f<>ur language courses. I consider myself extremely fortunate in taking sd far, five English courses, and intena to take as many more as possible before my college career ends. It is most unusual for a student to be able to take so many courses in his major subject.

Some will say that a bit of every­thing is necessary in a complete edu­cation. They may be right. This idea has made present-day education practically worthless. The main rea­son for our conditions today, is that our education is far behind our scientific advances. Why? Because our present system has no hope of following the terrific pace set by science. It has no hope because it has too much system and red tape.

I entered my first classes expet!ting to hear friendly open-hearted discus­sion. I expected to find students and teacher in a liberal discussion. Ideas against ideas, and then the result be­ing reached. Mistakes being made and like most errors, profitable ones. I looked forward to finding the instructor seated among his students, everyone on their toes; and education forging ahead in tho only possible way.

Twelve Prominent Citizens Meet Members of Senior Class

On December 5 a formal dinner was held in Cook Hall, the main pur­pose Olf which was to acquaint Hart­for business men and the seniors of Trinity College. Promptly at 6.30 p. m. the hosts, the Senate and the Medusa, and the guests assembled in the Dining Hall to commence the eve­ning's festivities. The prominent Hartford business men present were: Messrs. Walter E. Batterson, Good­win B. Beach, Viggo Bird, Robert C. Buell, Clayton R Burt. Ralph D. Cut­ler, Roger W. Davis, Harrison B. Freeman, J. B. Howard, Robert Ne'l"ell, George Nicholson, William Putnam. Mr. Newell, guest of honor, was invited to carve the turkey. After dinner the group adjourned to the Lounge where smoking and conversa­tion continued for an hour or so. Charles Kingston, President of the Senate, presided. Because of the inter­est taken in the meeting, it is ex­pected to become an annual affair.

COMMUNICATION. (Continued from page 2.)

Instead I found the instructor seated on his dais like a Greek god. For fifty minutes he talked, the human phono­graph. He gave us his ideas, ideas from books, and every idea was to be taken in; our own to be thrown away. At the end of the period, I arose be­wildered, was this education? Was it education or merely memory work. Was the difficult and most important task of thinking ignored entirely? It was.

What caused this situation to go on unchecked? The probable answer came to me when I heard a professors state that his pupils were clams. But we are clams, because we are forced to take courses, that we are interested only in passing. Where can we get time to think, we are too busy memor­izing lecture notes and text-books? Our clam complex becomes habitual, and is carried even into the classes we really enjoy.

Our "best" students of today are those with the greatest powers in memorization. In the end they are often Phi Beta Kappa, and more often nothing more. Because we can not reason, because we have become sponges, intellectual famine and un­employment rule. The unemployment of the parts of our mind that are not mere filing cases.-'35.
