What the United Nations Has DoneBy MARY FOULKE MORRISSQN

Weare happy' to present in tbis issue of the ALUMNAE NEWS articles by [onr members oj the Board of Trustees ofthe College. Three are by OHr own Alumnae Trustees, and one, wbicb appeau below by Mrs. Morrisson, secretary ofthe Board. Alumnae at oarions meetings of Alumnae Council beve [onnd tbemseloes pa·yticipating in panel discussionswhich have opened new avenues of thollght and information concerning the problems of the teacher and the taught; theadministration of colleges, and the affairs of Connecticut College in par/;m/wl". Very often Mrs. Morrisson has been thechairman of sncb discussions, and thns many alumnae have come to know and admire this olltstanding "woman ofaffairs."

Mrs. Mor-risson's career in pltblic service has been long and distingl/ished, She was secretary, then president of theChicago Equal Suffrage Association, and in 1915-16 was secretary of the National American Woman Suffrage ASSOCIation.Active today as Foreign Policy Chairman of the New London League of Women Voters, Mn Morrisson helped tofound the Leaglte of IVomen Voters, as well as the Illinois League, of which latter group she was president from 1924-27. She has been first Vice President of the National Leagne, and off and on member of the Board of the ConnecticutLeagrce.Active ill important war work, M"S. Iviorrrsson ill 1917 initiated the organization of the Woman's Division of theIllinois Council of National Defeuse and served on its executioe committee during World War I. In World IVaI' II shestarted the organization of the Groton [Conn.] Dejense Cor/neil, and was head of its IVomen's Division, Also duringWorld War II she operated the Russian Rooster, a servicemen's center in Groton. She is the holder of the ConnecticutMedal for Distinguished Civilian IVar Service, and also of the Distinguished Citizens Award from the Men's Clnb ofCongregation Beth El, New London 1951.

All this, and home too--in Groton, Connecticut. In 1900 Mary Foulke, the young Bryn Mawr graduate, wasmarried to James IV. Morrissoll. Now there are five children and eleven grandchildren. Connection College is hon-ored in having Mrs. Monisson as a Trustee. Her article below was gi'ven as an address in Harkness Chapel.

Two men, speaking before the same great audience inNew York the other day, made statements that seemed to

me very significant.One said., "Peace cannot be won as war is won. Peace

in the world, like good government at home, is a goal weapproach but never perfectly attain. Peace, like religionand the good life, is the task of each new day, it must beworked at in little things and in big things so long

as breath we draw."The other said, "All cooperative action among free na-

tions must be based upon genuine understanding. Thedevelopment of that understanding is the starting point ofany program toward lasting peace."These two statements, it seems to me, give the com-

pelling reasons why we have a United Nations, why, if wedid not have one, we would have to create one, why wemust support and strengthen and above all try to under-stand the structure we have built and of which we are a

part.Let us consider a few things about that structure, what

it is, and more especially what it is not. Some of us talkas if the United Nations were a functioning government,that could pass laws regulating the behavior of its mem-bers and enforce those laws, and we blame it severely for

failing to do 50. You know better, thank goodness. Youknow it is not a government and. you know why-that noexisting national government, great or small, is as yet will-ing to surrender to a new and untried organization enoughof its sovereignty, its responsibility for and control overthe lives. and fortunes of its people to make the UN a func-tioning government. Too bad, perhaps, but very under-

standable.Such surrender can only come after many years of

working together on common problems have proved that"a more perfect union" is not a dream but an indispens-able need, when mutual confidence has deepened and whenthere is a far greater common ground of agreement onwhat the purposes of such a government should and couldbe. When you remember how long it took the Americancolonies, with a common language and background, a fairlyeven educational and economic level and an empty, richland, to make the surrender of sovereignty needed to pro-duce the Constitution of the United States, and then con-sider the differences in language, education and technicalskill, to say nothing of religions and cultures between thenations of the world today, you realize how remote is that

goal.But that does not mean we can do nothing now, that

We need to remember what the United Nations was setup to do,

Mr. Trygve Lie, speaking to a college group last springsaid "Mankind lives in a world that has been transforme,dby ~cience and technology, where a third World War .15

"I' ti e know Itquite capable of wiping out CIVI rza IOn ~s. ~ .The United Nations is the response of civilized men tothis kind of world. The United Nations cannot abolishconflicts of ideology and power, or the new nationalismor the revolutionary upsurge of peoples. The purpos.e ~fthe United Nations is to contain all these forces withinthe peaceful bonds laid down by the law of the Charter:'

The Charter is a solemn pledge by all members of theUnited Nations not to use force in settling their differ-ences with each other. So many of those who lament thefact that the UN has not troops of its own or who berateit for not stopping this or that bad situation talk as ifthose troops could be sent in to settle a dispute, forgettingthat they could only be used to prevent the use of forceby particular nations to achieve their private ends. Thewar in Korea is the first war in history against the fact ofaggression.

A HOLDING ACTIONThe world has agonized under two great World Wars

that would not have happened if the aggressors had beenstopped in time. No one who knows the facts questionsthat if the UN had not fought in Korea, communismwould have engulfed all of Eastern Asia and World War111 would have been brought immeasurably nearer. TheKorean war, inconclusive and disappointing as it seemsto many of us is a holding action, fought for a greatprinciple. Once that principle is established, once aggres-sive minded nations realize that we are in deadly earnestwhen we say that aggression will not be tolerated, will besharply repelled, if resorted to, the world will have gonefarther on the road to enduring peace than we could havedreamed possible.

We need to remember too, that with all their inade-quacies and irritations the debates in the United Nationsare themselves a kind of holding action. While men stilltalk there is not lighting on the grand scale. And as aresult of those debates, fighting has been stopped in landsoccupied by over 500 million people. A great achievement,even though a negative one.

Meanwhile the constructive work goes On. You remem-ber I quoted, "The development of understanding is thestarting point toward an enduring peace." The work donein the committees and conferences of the United Nationsand its specialized agencies is the most intensive post grad-uate education, in the needs and problems of the world,

ever known. And it is not just academic. From thoseconferences men and women go ou.t to grapple with theage old enemies of man, hunger, disease, poverty as wellas the problems brought about by our complex modernlife. The work of the Economic and Social Council hasbeen called, deservedly, the biggest piece of internationalcooperation for human welfare in the history of the world.

Some projects are vast: feeding eight million children,resettling nearly a million refugees, examining 37 millionchildren for T.B., giving protective vaccine to 17 million,spraying two-thirds of an. entire country wi~h.D.D.T. andthereby pulling the malaria cases from a million down to50,000 a year and making it possible for that many peopleto work again.

INCREASED FOOD SUPPLYThere is the campaign to increase the world's food

supply by better seed, better methods of cultivation, waragainst insects, rats and fungi which in 1947 destroyedenough rice to feed 150 million people. A locust plaguenow does not mean inevitable starvation for thousands;instead planes from many nations sweep down sprayingpoison and the crop is saved.

Much of this work is on a great scale, much is verypersonal, patient work with humble, frightened peasantmen and women to show them how the 'lueer new wayswill help, are worth the doing. The mere category of someof the work done is exciting reading from emergencyworkafter an earthquake in Peru to stamping out rinderpest inAsia and Africa. One UNESCO project in India will train250 teachers who will then teach 125 thousand illiterates.From a different angle, establishing weather stations in theAtlantic so that planes can commute to Europe the yeararound. Things like uniform traffic rules for civil aviation,uniform quarantine regulations mean greater safety, lessirritating delay to those who must move fast and oftenaround our shrinking world.

The technical assistance program, similar to our pointfour, trains squads of local people to spread further thework for better and more food and education, less diseaseand misery. The list is amazingly long for so smalI abudget. Men and women who do such work don't noticethe color of each other's skins or remember old nationalhates and fears; they're all doing a job, important, worth-while. And there are a lot of them and their influencespreads.

You know, in your personal life you never really knowaperson till you've done a piece of work together, and thelonger and harder the job is, the better you know what theother fellow is or isn't good for, and understand someofthe reasons why. The men and women who are doing thiswork in almost every country of the world are building

human brotherhood. They have gotten the habit of work-ing with many kinds of people under many different cir-cumstances, learned to judge character, no matter what kindof package it's done up in.

Merely to read about what they do widens our under-standing. This work doesn't make headlines as the quar-rels do, but there is plenty written about it, lots of filmsyou can see, lots of workers back home again you can talkto. It is such work that is giving substance to man's oldestdream, building the foundations of peace.

Some years ago, when the League of Women Votersstarted its work for the United Nations (and we've beenat it ever since), work based on thorough study of whatthe United Nations does and is, we said in our program,"We will help to build faith and hope to undergird the

THE ALUMNAE TRUSTEESOpinions and Impressions

By ELEANOR HEILMAN

Eleanor Jones Heilman' 33 is the Senior Alumnae T1'11S-

tee. Fonowi17g graduation she became a member of thefaCIlity of the Friends' Central School in Philadelphia.Aiser a time she was married to Richard Heilman, fatherof two of her students, Barbara, now one )'ea.rout of Ober-lin, and Dick, [r., a sophomore at Amherst. Eleanor hasbeen active on varions important Trustee committees, andhas been especially concerned with scholarships and withcollege-alumnae 1·eA:J.tio17S.She is a past president of theAlumnae Association.

Midway in a five year term as Alumnae Trustee, it seemsappropriate to give you, the alumnae, some accounting ofmy activities and my general thinking about the Collegetoday. The activities have built up a new picture of theCollege, broader as it should be, and, most naturally now,I know it more intimately than before. The importance ofthe responsibility as liaison between college and alumnaeis a serious one and, as I learn more about both groups,that responsibility takes on new and more serious meaning.Unless you have been an Alumnae Trustee, you must at

some time wonder what we do. Specifically, with commit-tees of faculty and alumnae and trustees, we study Con-necticut College. There is a continuing study of the schol-arships program, especially as regards alumnae participa-tion; faculty, alumnae and administrative officers havehad a part in this. The Trustee Committee on College andAlumnae Relations of which the senior Alumnae Trusteeis chairman, strives to bring about a closer working rela-tionship between these two groups. For me, the Commit-tees on Education, New Trustees, and on the appointmentof Trustee Committees require specific attention.

United Nations so that the nations may have time to learnto live together in peace."What can we do about it, you and I? Every person who

understands the work of the United Nations and believesin it spreads that understanding and faith to the peopleshe is thrown with. "A little leaven leaveneth the wholelump" and your influence goes further than you think. Ifthe public opinion of tbe United States stays solidly behindthe United Nations it will not faiL So long as it keepsgoing, so long is there a chance for negotiation, for peace-ful settlement of the world's difficulties. Once it breaksdown, World War III is inevitable. More than anyoneother thing, public opinion in the United States will keepit alive and make it strong and all of us together makepublic opinion. Consider the alternative and the challenge.

E. Heilman

We all enjoy the opportunity to meet faculty and stu-dents in meetings as well as at the President's house. Weenjoy attendance at a College lecture, concert, class, or playwhen such coincides with a visitor to campus. We find ithelpful to receive the College News, the weekly calendarof college events, and to be on all college and alumnaemailing lists. The privilege of attending the meetings ofthe Alumnae Executive Board, the Alumnae Fund Work-shops, and the Alumni Council is ours. We have theopportunity to learn of alumnae activities through ourExecutive Secretary and a visit to her office is always helpful.These activities present us with a picture of a well inte-

grated organization, each part contributing its share towardthe growth of this particular small, liberal arts college forwomen and toward the growth of good education generally.Our scholarship program aims to provide funds for

worthy students, and provides the impetus for continuingefforts to attract good students by bringing the specialofferings of Connecticut College to the attention of thepublic, alumnae and non-alumnae.The opportunities to meet with faculty provide us with

j

an opportunity to exchange views and hopes we hold forthis college. This exchange is decidedly interesting and; Ithink, mutually encouraging as a trustee, I am encouragedin the knowledge that ours is a thinking faculty, interestedin education in a broad sense; as a faculty member, I think,I would be encouraged in the knowledge that Trusteesexpress interest in the curriculum and in those who carryout the College program. I get the impression that we arenot, by any means static. Opportunities to meet studentsare accorded us from time to time; they join us for lunchor they join us on committees; they send us the CollegeNews, an excellent report of college activities. The weeklycollege calendar reports activities of students and faculty onthe campus and in the community and gives evidence,above all, of a Full coIlege program. These activities, alongwith routine business, budgets, appointments, and manyother topics, certainly provide one with ample materialfor thought.

It is not for me to say just what we accomplish in ourjobs as Alumnae Trustees. We are accorded every oppor~tunity to acquaint ourselves with the entire College family.

CONNECTICUT NEWSSpeaking at the lecture series of the Cleveland College

Women's Association Miss Hafkesbrink of the ConnecticutGerman department said, as reported by the ClevelandPlain Dealer, that whether loss or lack of religion is caus-ing the chaotic state of world affairs, Christianity comes infor its share of blame. Alarm over the political effects ofa de-Christianized society has deep-seated roots. But inspite of the fact that the capital of Christian humanism isconsiderably exhausted all over the world, comparativesuperiority in political morality is what entitles the UnitedStates to its present leadership in the great struggle be-tween the East and the West. Miss Hafkesbrink stressedthe development of the separation of church and. state andits ensuing results.

This separation, she said, has become incorporated intothe constitutional pattern of the United States, but it hasnot produced the alienation of church and state in thiscountry that resulted in France and Russia. Anti-clericalismin the United States is confined to comparatively smallleftist ~rou'ps, while the general climate of public opinionhas maintained an awareness of the importance of reliaion.. . b

We can only hope to make good use of our information.We can hope, too, to represent the alumnae to the best ofour ability; we must assume that our election to officeexhibits faith in our judgment.

My own personal interest in education, they tell me,began when I imposed my first grade knowledge on myyounger brother, and at the risk of sounding dull, I mustadmit to a very early decision to teach-seventh grade, Ithink it was. You perhaps should know that this repre-sentative nevertheless believes wholeheartedly in a liberaleducation for both men and women.

It is my personal hope always 10 some way tobe able to work toward the provision of an atmos-phere where scholars and teachers may grow person-ally and professionally for their mutual benefit. It is atremendous task and little wonder that I reread, withappropriate humility, a letter of June 14, 1949 which,after informing me of my election added, "and we haveevery confidence in your ability to carry out the work notonly capably but with distinction."

Palmer Library has presented a number of interestingexhibits, among them a showing of books and pictures onthe Metropolitan Opera, which marked the opening of the68th season of that great organization. Also featured laterwas an exhibit of the works of Bruce Rogers, one of thegreat forces in typography during the first half of the 20thcentury. The exhibit included books designed by Me.Rogers and given to our Library this summer by Me. andMrs. Carl H. Pforzheimer. From November 16 to 30 acollection of Bibles in many languages was displayed. This~xhibit was in honor of the SOOth anniversary of the print-Ing of the Gutenberg Bible in moveable type.

WHAT IS A LIBERALARTS COLLEGE?

By MIRIAM BUTTERWORTH

Miriam Brooks Bntterwortb '40 is married to a teacher,

Olioer Bntterwortb of IFest Hartford, and they tiaoe jam'

children. Miriam's interest ill education is seai"ching, sin-

cere, and experimental, and toe are glad her term extends

[or several additional years. She is treasnrer of bel' college

elms of 1940.

Being members of two groups, the Alumnae Associationand the Board of Trustees, we Alumnae Trustees seem tobe both fish and fowl, and as such we have several func-tions. We welcome a chance to try to define these func-tions for ourselves as well as for you, Our employers.

We assume that alumnae are put on the Board of Trus-tees in order to explain the needs and aims of the alumnaeto the Trustees and also to explain the needs and aims ofthe College to the alumnae. As for our first job, I for oneneed more understanding of and direction from the alum-nae group to be effective in interpreting them to the Trus-tees. We are able to tell of the alumnae desire to knowand help the college, and we can demonstrate the alum-nae ability to implement that desire. Beyond that, I amgropll1g. As for interpreting College problems to you,however, this is as good a chance as I've had, and I'mdelighted to share some with YOll.

After being elected an Alumnae Trustee, we travel toNew London and sit in on our first Board meeting. Thereis no prerequisite course in Theory of College Administra-tion or Trustee-Alumnae-Faculty Relations. My only in-struction came from one of the Trustees "Just sit and lookpleasant. That's all we ask," he said, shaking my handwarmly. The meetings deal mainly with financial matters(tuition costs, salaries, investments) and reports on educa-tional matters. We confirm new faculty appointments, makesome financial decisions on the Summer School of theDance, and hear about curriculum changes and visiting lec-turers. These are examples of the vital business of Trustees,but very little of it helps a new member to see the forest-

so many trees.

During my two years back at Conn. College, I haveformulated two more fundamental questions. First, whatis the nature of the institution we serve, what is a "LiberalArts College"? Then what is the responsibility of the

AJiritIJJl Bnnerworib

Trustees of such a college? "Liberal Arts" needs to bedefined very often these days. Connecticut, to fulfill itsLiberal Arts aim, must be a place where any idea in anyfield can be discussed freely in the belief that truth canbe approached only when minds, unencumbered by fear,are encouraged to explore where they wish. With thisinitial understanding, we can begin to stake out our job.

The Trustee group has the responsibility to provide goodworking conditions for the faculty and student body-afavorable psychological climate as well as physical. Thesedays, a good psychological climate may be the most impor-tant aspect for us to work for. A college, to be free, mustexist in a community which wants it to be free. The Trus-tees must be sure tbgt the community understands theneed for free inquiry at all times. We alumnae can helptremendously by remembering and helping others to un-derstand the nature of a Liberal Arts Education.

My other questions stem from the above discussion, aremainly organizational, and as yet have no answers. Howcan the job I've described be done best? Can the Trusteesunderstand the needs of the Faculty without closer con-tacts between Faculty and Trustees? Perhaps there shouldbe Faculty Representation on the Board of Trustees. Whatshould be the length of a Trustee's term of office? Shouldthere be a limit to the number of terms? I have been slowto get beyond the important month to month business tothe above problems which I feel I should think out. Ihope in the next year, the Trustee group as a whole willfind time to discuss its position in the above terms, for wenewer members would benefit tremendously.

I also hope Alumnae Trustees get more opportunities likethis to air their thoughts. This is one way we can do ourjob better than we have in the past.

HI HAVE A CONCERN"By CATHARINE GREER

Catherine Greer, recently president of the class of 1929,is well imo um in department store work, having been Em-ployment Manager of Bloomingdale's in New Y01'k, andHOW Personnel Director and one of the chief members intbe management of Lllrkey Platt and Company of Pough-keepsie, New York. She is active in many c01JJIJJI/1liJ)'

affairs ill Pougbeee psie.

It doesn't seem possible that many months have flownby since the class of '29 so nimbly gathered at the librarysteps to begin the march to Class Day exercises.When I received a request asking for news for '29 class

notes, it supplied the little push I needed, for I have, asthe Quakers say, a "concern". I have little news of me-my home is as tiny and cozy as ever and lacks only morefrequent zc'ers to visit it. My travels are mainly confinedto driving to work and back. But then, you said "Jot downin an informal style whatever comes to you". That was awelcome invitation and gave me the opportunity to elab-orate upon my "concern".During the reunion weekend in June 1951, I was in-

formed of my election as Alumnae Trustee to the Boardof Trustees. It is both an honor and a privilege to repre-sent '29 and the classes which were before and after ours.I must confess, I never knew much about our Trustees'

functions and knew personally, only one Alumnae Trustee.These facts have prompted me to wonder if the alumnaeare not perhaps a J ittle curious to know some of the edu-cational viewpoints of those who represent them-and Iwould like to try to express a few of mine. I would appre-ciate it also, if you would express to me any feelings youmay have which would make it possible for me to repre-sent you better. 1 find myself being gradually educated tothe many complex problems of our coHege. These meet-ings have left me with a very profound respect for thestable, sure and competent leadership of President Park.They have left me also with the definite belief that a col-lege, to be truly effective in its educational achievements,must have the assistance and complete support of itsalumnae.Before attending my first meeting, I gathered my

thoughts together and decided upon my own definition ofeducation. It is, I am sure, anything but academic. Tome, education at the college level is the gradual assimila-tion of factual information plus the development of asense of values. Culture, it seems to me, is the everydaymanifestation of education. We rightfully expect that thegraduates of Connecticut College will have achieved a be-ginning in both these phases of education. Since the

8

C. Greer

twelfth century, however, the purpose, need, use and effectof education has vastly changed. Today in 1952, 1 believethe average woman college graduate, who is not going onto graduate study, is often desirous of pursuing a careerbefore she settles down to married life. Hence, the collegeis faced with meeting additional educational needs-theneed to be realistic in predetermining the student's after-college problems and helping her to prepare herslf to meetthe new demands upon her.

It is my experience that the average college graduate issomewhat confused and uncertain as to just how her col-lege training can be applied to her after-college needs. Hercollege life has been an accumulation of lectures, inde-pendent study, examinations, seminars, proms, wonderfulweekends, exhausting fatigue, new-found friends and ro-mances. But when she graduates, she finds herse(f livingin a precarious economic era, a confused society which isfacing most serious international situations.

In my work in personnel administration, it has been mymajor function to select, train, transfer, promote and attimes, reluctantly separate hundreds of young people inand from business. One can scarcely fail to learn muchof their problems, weaknesses and strengths. The youngwoman, having achieved a college education, is faced withthe problem of utilizing it to her best advantage ... utiliz-ing it in such a way that she asks only for a fair returnfor her contribution, not something for nothing, and noteven something just because of her degree.

Before too long after her graduation, much of the fac-tual information, the statistics, the historical dates, the hy-potheses, will become a bit hazy, but because of her formaleducation, she will, we hope, know where to find the for-gotten facts and how to keep them up to date and howto measure their relative value. We hope, too, that hersense of value will become increasingly evident for having

had its firm and steady development throughout her collegeyears.

What is this sense of value? I think it is the ability torecognize right from wrong, truth from untruth. It is theability to recognize that there are not two sides to everyproblem, there are three, her side, my side and the ,·ightside. It is also the evident desire to practice good humanrelations within her immediate society. I like to think thatshe will be better able to contribute to the maintenance ofgood American government, honest relationship with herassociates, well able to sift the good things of life fromthe bad and confine her ability to the good alone. Themaintenance of academic integrity is a very solemn respon-sibility. I think Connecticut College is fulfilling it.

The College is well aware also of the relative value ofa beautiful campus and its academic reputation. Our earn-pus is indeed a beautiful one. The new dormitories, theinfirmary, the auditorium, the enlarged library, the land-·scaping are a most impressive sight. About the only build-ing that looks completely familiar is the "temporary" gym!There are still great spaces that should be occupied by aScience building, more houses for Faculty members andtheir families, a Student-Alumnae center and other veryreal needs,-needs which, when filled, will make no smallcontribution to the already well established reputation ofthe college. Expenses of operation, maintenance, facultysalary increases, essential building programs all are only afew of the problems of our college and many others today.

CONNECTICUT NEWSAs the college year progresses, activities crowd the cal-

endar. Among important musical events was the pianorecital given by William Dale of the music department.Mr. Dale presented a well-balanced program which in-cluded five pieces by the early English composer, GilesFarnaby, as well as works by Beethoven and Chopin. Awarmly enthusiastic audience applauded his skillful andsensitive performance.

* * *The second concert in the College Concert series offered

the duo-pianists, Celius Dougherty and Vincenz Ruzicka,in a program of works by Mozart, Schubert, Respighi,Richard Strauss, and a composition of Mr. Dougherty'scalled "From Seas and Ships." The Washington Post saidabout the pianists, "This is the best of the two-piano teams.Their performance is a model of technical clarity and theirprogram a model of its kind." Mr. Dougherty and Mr.Ruzicka were entertained while in New London by MissFlorence Hler of the French department, a long-time friend.

In business, we say that it is the staff which makes us suc-cessful ... in a college, it is its faculty-the number ofMr. and Mrs. "Chips" who are each day dispensing thefactual informaion, and at the same time directing thedevelopment of the sense of value. We are fortunate tohave many of them on the faculty of Connecticut.

The College has well justified our complete support andbacking. Tuition alone is never sufficient to meet the needsof a truly fine college. Neither does money alone answerthe need. We as alumnae can do much to help. Theinterest we take in the College's progress, faculty, curricu-lum, policies, the money we can raise to help the Collegeachieve its purpose, the effort we make to have othersknow about the College, our personal interest in its under-graduates as we meet them-these are the real and valuableaids. It is true that:

"New occasions teach new duties,Time makes ancient good uncouth"

think Connecticut needs us more today than it hassince its foundation. There is just a chance, too, that we,its alumnae, are drawing upon our college education aswe never have before.

As one of our Alumnae Trustees, I thank you again forthe privilege of representing you and hope that we, as agroup, can become increasingly valuable to ConnecticutCollege.

Our 94 voice Connecticut College choir journeyed toMiddletown for a joint concert with the Wesleyan GleeClub. The program consisted of a Bach cantata and TheBlessed Darnozel by DeBussy which was sung at Wesleyanon Friday, and on the Connecticut campus on Saturday.

* * *Plans are made for an unusual musical occasion to take

place in March. The Connecticut choir and the Yale GleeClub will present together the Honegger oratorio "KingDavid," assisted by the Yale University orchestra. Therewill be two performances, one in New Haven and one inNew London. Mr. Quimby, chairman of the music depart-ment, has been in New York auditioning soloists.

Professor David E. Roberts of Union Theological Seminarywho spoke on the irreverent use of religion and prayer inthe world today, and President William E. Park of theNorthfield Schools, who is the brother of our PresidentPark.

ONE POEM,ONE PUPPY, ONE PATIENT'52 Campaign Committee Reports

DEAR ALUMNAE: To those of you whose names arelisted on these pages, may I say, from the heart, your Cam-paign Committee thanks you. Your immediate and generousresponse gave us the necessary feeling of confidence in therightness of the Campaign, and the impetus to redouble ourefforts. To those of you whose gifts have been received by ussince December 1, our thanks also. Your names will be pub-lished in the next issue. To all who will contribute beforewe reach OUf goal, thank you too. OUf only request is thatyou give as soon and as generously as you possibly can.OUf thanks also and especially to the staff of the Alumnae

Office (Kathryn Moss '24, Sadie Coir Benjamin ex '19, andFrances Baratz Monser '40) who have worked far beyond the"call of duty." They have made a strategic contributionwithout which the Campaign would not have been possible.Let no one be disturbed or disappointed at the fact that the

Campaign was not completed in the three-week period desig-nated. One of the first things that became obvious as theCommittee settled down to the detailed organization andoperation of the Campaign was that three weeks was much tooshort a time for .more than a good start. The undertaking ist?O c.omplex, WIdespread, and there are too many varyingsttuattons to be met to hope for the idealistic whirlwind col-lection of the Fund goal in such a short time.We have made a very fine start. It is obvious from the

volume of returns arriving at the Alumnae Office that theCamp~ign is gathering momentum (see page 13 for laterbLl.Jl~tll1on returns), and we have every reason to be opri-mrsttc as to the final results. We are well on our way.Let's al! ?edicate ourselves to the unfinished parts of the

task remaining!

'52 ALUMNAE FUND CAMPAIGN COMMITTEEJessie W. Kohl, Chairman

As all alumnae know who are not in-sensible to the printed and written word ordeaf to the insistent voices of their fellow-alumnae, we are in the midst of the '52

Alumnae Fund Campaign - goal $60,000.Purpose: to make a contribution of $30,000or more this year to the Student-AlumnaeCenter. Students have already raised S8,000in cash and pledged $8,000 more for theCenter, and are working actively to increasetheir Fund.

In June the Alumnae Association votedto "extend its money-raising efforts(through the Alumnae Fund) for a periodof three years to include a gift to the Stu.dent Alumnae Center." At the same timeit was also voted that the Alumnae Asso-

ciation must be maintained, both in orderto carry ~n .the campaign, and the regularand contmumg work and projects of thAssociation. e

After many meetings and much corre-spondence the Finance Committee recom-me.nded an all-out Alumnae Fund Cam-paign to begin on November 10 and endon November 30, the solicitation to becaffled out, so far as possible, by personalcalls. The Alumnae Fund Committeeoff! was

Add to work done by the centralFund ~ommittee, the unflagging efforts ofthe Directors and their Solicitors in thelocal areas; the ready response of the CIAgents and their teams; the personal l::~

ters written by many alumnae; the makingand c,rrying out of plans on all fronts.An impressive contribution indeed hasbeen made in time, thought, effort, andjust plain hard work by a great manypeople.

Alld what of the money COlllflbJllioll,the tmrpose for which till the Ilrelilllillm)'effort bas bee» m.lde?In Campaign Report No.1, which

accompanies this statement, you will readthat as of December I ?88 alumnae havecontributed $7,319.87 'i~ cash and havepledged $599. Obviously those figuresrepresent a splendid average contribution,and naturally we are greatly pleased.Meantime the campaign continues, and wehave reached several conclusions:

(Colllinlled 01/ pege 11)

Campaign Notes1. The announced dates of the campaign

were November 10 to 30, but actually thecampaign as of December 1st is just in thebeginning stages. Obviously, the Directorsand their Solicitors will have an extensionof time, - for as long as they need. Itshould be remembered that, generallyspeaking, the earlier in campaignpeople contribute, the larger the gift.Therefore the period of solicitation shouldbe extended with this fact in mind.

2. The personal call is the most success-lui method of raising mOJJe)'. Use it whenpossible. Personal letters also often meetwith ready response.

3. Please strive to give or pledge a mini-mum cant ributt on 01 $]2 (more, of course,if possible). Only by maintaining thisminimum or more can we meet our goal.As one of our alumnae, a member of thefaculty at Mt. Holyoke writes, "The cam-paign should be successful. Connecticuthas made very slight demands on its alum-nae compared with most colleges:

4. Remember that IJledges are welcome.College alumnae pledges are good.5. We shall keep you posted as to the

progress of the campaign, if only bypost card bulletins. Reports from localareas indicate a IItOS( [aoorable receptionnf the camp aign, with onty all extensionof time needed to (tIITy through success-[nlly,6. A smoother job could no doubt have

been done by all of us along the line jfwe had had more time for preparation. Butdelay would have meant waiting anotheryear, and though in some phases of thecampaign we've had to make and carry outour plans almost simultaneously, we firmlybelieve the whole campaigl1 effort will bea cveati-ue alld success/ul one,7. If you're a worker in the campaign,-

Carry Through. We're planning to staywith the job until we finish it successfully.

\"Y/e have a great goal for our campaign.We all know that a new gym is a seriousneed, and we all approve of using thegymnasium facilities as a community cen-ter for students and their friends, foralumnae, and we hope also faculty. Andmeeting rooms and official headquarters foralumnae and students are both necessaryFeatures of an exp3.nding college,

Our own part in the building effort isvery important. Neller underestimate thepower of all alumna! One is giving theproceeds of the sale of a poem, anotherof a puppy, still a third the fees from apatient. And yon?

Births: To Dr. and Mrs. John Heller(Terry Strong) a daughter born July 24,and named Kathleen Karen.

On June 28, a daughter, Martha Avery,to Sybil Ward Smitf and her husband.

Lots of potential material for e.e. thistime Another gal, Susan Kemble toRae Johns Off (ex' 41) and lou on April 8and to Bobby Yohe Williams, Barbara Annas of February 19. Bobby added that NanButler Finly has three boys, and Sis CochenDillon as of August has two girls and aboy.

Just to louse up the record, Lorry LewisDunvan and Tom had another boy-thethird, October 14 to be exact. This oneis Mark Davis.

In case anyone is looking for TerryStrong Heller, she has moved to DudleyRoad, but they are stilt in Wilton, andthoroughly enjoying their new home. FromLynwood, New Jersey Rae Johns Off (ex'41) writes that in addition to motheringher newest daughter she is decorating Lou'slatest ventures in building-five new homes,

to be exact, working for "Ike" and addinga wing to their own charming borne. DownRichmond way, Mary Anne Smith is buzz-ing around trying to organize a Richmond-Central Virginia e.e. club. While visitingher sister (whose husband is superinten-dent at the C. G, Academy here in NewLondon) Mary Anne saw Carol Chappellat a cocktail party, later visited May MonteMcLaughlin 10 Marshallton, Delaware.May's husband, McGuff, leaves for thePaacific soon as skipper of a D.E. but Mayplans to park right there in Marshalltonwhere she is busy with her four cbildrenand the C.

From Carla Eakin White (ex '41), afrantic plea for help in finding housingout Chicago-way. Richmond is out therenow (business phone-Mohawk 4-6900!)but Carla, two shilluns and dog await aroof. If anyone can help! While in thehospital, I had daily chats with Dr. Kath-ryn verie as she poked her nose in myroom between patients. From her I 'heardthe hysterical tale of trying to give thecurrent C. C. crop their physicals in theabsence of our college doctor. Mary Hallcame steaming out of Clinton at the col-lege S.O.S. but both gals were so busychecking posture they barely got to yellhello at one another. It was from Kathryn,however, that I learned Mary Montaignehas received her Masters in creative writingat the University of New Mexico this fallat Brown graduate school.

As you probably all know by now, thedrive is on for the current alumnae fund.If each of us will swing a contribution oftwelve dollars the $60,000 aim will berealized, This will mean that the oft-dis-cussed, ever hoped-for Student AlumnaeCenter would very shortly become a livingthing on campus. Do the very best you can-let's put 1941 way out ahead by burstingour seams to help. Who wants a new hatanyway?

Besides producing another cute male,I've been swamped with candidates' meet-ings and Get Out the Vote games this fallfor the League of Women Voters. Almostfeel as though I'm running for office my-self-well, running anyway.
