Letter

Dear Editor:

I wonder when college administrators will awaken to the dismal fact that the majority of faculty members of liberal arts colleges are left-wing socialists who haven't a clue as to what makes the real world function? I have just read the asinine article, "Dismantling White Supremacy" by Maurice Wade. Wade demands that 90% of the U.S. population allow 10% to uplift itself by reverse discrim­ination. l don't know if Wade has ever been off campus, but his social theories indicate he is well on his way to the top of ivory tower, fuzzy-headed, un-American liberal-ism.

Sports Update For · the second straight year, Trinity

hosted three men's basketball play-off games and won all three. The key to their defense of the ECAC Div. III New England cham­pionship was Ken Abere, who led or tied in scoring and rebounding performances in all three victories. A junior, Ken has 1287 points, 2 more than Carl Rapp '82, and 4th in the Trinity record book. In the quarter­final, Tom FitzGerald hit a foul shot with 3 seconds remaining to defeat Eastern Con­necticut 59-58. Again fighting from behind, Trinity downed Connecticut College 58-51 in the semi-final. The final was not close as the Bantams blew out U-Mass, Boston, 68-50, to finish 19-6 and champions.

The ice hockey squad was almost as suc­cessful, falling to S.E. Massachusetts 3-2 in a thrilling ECAC Div. III championship game. Trinity had trailed 2-0 but the come­back fell just short. To reach the finals, Trinity defeated Framingham State 7-5 and Amherst 7-4. Vern Meyer scored 4 play-off goals and Tom Sheehy had a hat trick in the Amherst game. Trin goalie Art Fitzger­ald was named tournament MVP.

APPLICATIONS HIT RECORD HIGH

Record numbers of students are seek­ing admission to Trinity's freshman class, with app lications up 10 percent over last year. By the end of] anuary, the Admissions Office h ad received 3,329 applications, surpassing the old mark of 3,270 set in 1977.

Director of Admissions Donald N . Dietrich cites increased recruiting by Admissions staff, along with assistance from alumni and current undergradu­ates, as factors contributing to the surge in applications. "It's also possible t hat students are applying to more col­leges, but we're not sure yet," Dietrich noted.

A higher level of staffing in the Ad­missions Office - an additiona l posi­tion at the assistant director level was added this year- allowed Trinity to "cover more territory," Dietrich ex­plained. Special efforts were made to recruit in some states where Trinity has traditionally drawn relatively few appli­cations , including Colorado, Minne­sota and Washington. A more intense campaign was conducted in other areas , such as California and Illinois.

Dietrich was also encouraged by the eagerness of alumni and current stu­dents to help in the admissions process. A lumni clubs in several cities held re­ceptions for prospective applicants dur­ing the fall. About twenty undergraduates volunteered to return to their high schools over semester break to talk with interested students and distribute College literature.

A lthough he was unable to gauge the strength of the group as the reading of applicants' files got underway, Dietrich was optimistic that "this will be a very selective year for us." In addition to the increased size of the pool, Trin ity will be seeking a smaller freshman class this year, owing to the unusually large number of students who chose to en­ro ll in the C lass of 1988. "We were ex­pecting a class of about 480 last year; we ended up with 515," Dietrich said. A final fi gure for the C lass of 1989 has not been set, but Dietrich anticipates t hat his office will be looking to enroll about 460 freshmen in the fall.

Forty-three students were admitted

to the class in late December under "option one" of the Early Decision Pro­gram. A second group will be consid­ered in February and Dietrich estimates th at a total of about 100 places in the class will be taken by early dec ision candidates. Dietrich hopes to be ab le to admit about 20 to 25 transfer students .

Decision letters for students applying under the regular admission plan wi ll be mailed on April 10, and admitted candidates must decide whether they will enroll at Trinity by May 1. Stu­dents who have been accepted will be invited back for another look at the campus on Visitation Days during the third week in Apri l.

SIX ADMINISTRATORS JOIN COLLEGE

Six persons have recently been ap­pointed to continuing, full-time posi­tions in the administrat ion:

STEPHEN R. DAHNERT, prospect researcher, development office. Dah­nert received his B.A. degree in sociol­ogy from Muhlenberg College and master of education degree, with a con­centration in administration in higher educat ion, from The College of Wi l­li am and Mary. At Will iam and Mary he was graduate assistant/ co-coordina­tor of the Alumni Admissions Net­work and at Muhlenberg was an assistan t in the Muhlenberg Advance­ment Program.

MARTHA A. DAVIDSON, assis­tant director of public relations. David­son received her bachelor 's degree in journa lism from the University of Con­nect icut, where she contributed to the Connecticut Daily Campus , was an edi­torial assistant for Genesis , a monthly student newsletter, and correspondent for the Hartford Courant . Before com­ing to Trinity, she was a staff writer for The Pictorial newspaper in Old Say­brook, CT and had articles publ ished in the New York Times and the Cape Cod Times.

ALICE C. FLEMING, writer/foun­dation officer, development office. A graduate of Kenyon College with a de­gree in English, Fleming also completed courses toward the M .B.A. at New York University. Before coming to

Trinity, she worked for severa l book pub lishers in New York City, including Ballantine Books, Rawson, Wade Pub­lishers, G rosset & Dunlap, and St. Martin's Press, where she was manag­ing editor, and as project manager/ publications for t he Office of Publish­ing Services, United States Cathol ic Conference in Washington, D.C.

ROGER A. GODIN, assistant direc­tor of career counseling. Godin re­ceived his B.A. degree in psychology from the College of the H oly Cross and M.Ed. in counseling from Rhode Island College. He comes to Trinity from the career planning servi ces office at Brown University .'

STEPHEN C. LaFEVER, assistant to the director of bu ildings and grounds. A graduate of Castleton State College in Vermont, LaFever taught in the Windsor public schools before coming to Trinity.

HARRY PACHECO, assistant di­rector, Upward Bound. Pacheco re­ceived his B.S. degree from Trinity and most recently was a teacher in the New York C ity public schools.

ORGAN CASE TO BE COMPLETED

A finished, oak case wi ll soon rep lace the rough, exposed framework that has surrounded the Chapel organ for the past 13 years. An anonymous donor has made a $100,000 grant to construct the new organ case at the west end of the C hapel beneath the Rose Window.

Charles Nazarian '73 has been com­missioned to execute the project during t he fall of this year. Nazarian, who de­signed the casework as well as the re­cently-completed music gallery at the base of the organ, is president of his own design firm in G loucester, MA.

Completion of the organ pipe case will mark the last major construction designed to enhance the Chapel organ area. When the work is completed, fin­ished oak will frame the front pipes and carved pipe sh ades will encase the tops of the pipes. Carvings will be exe­cuted by Morgan Faulds Pike of G loucester, MA. The completed case will frame the Rose Window, which is now partially obscured by the tempo­rary framework.

Along the Walk Along the Walk Along the Walk Along the Walk

"Ever since coming to Trinity, I have hoped we could find a way to bui ld the organ case. It is wonderful to know that, thanks to this generous gift, our hope wi ll be realized and the stunning sound of the organ will be matched by an equally handsome setting," says President James F. English, Jr.

The new organ case will actually be the C hapel's first. The original organ, an Aeolian-Skinner which was used from 1932 to 1972, was located in a loft at the Nave crossing, but was never en­cased.

Plans for the music gallery and organ case date back to 1972, when the cur­rent organ was completed. Designed by C larence Watters, professo r emeri­tus and honorary College organist, and built by Austin Organs Inc. of Hart­ford, the organ has a three-manual console, 66 stops and 4,781 pipes, most of wh ich are out of sight.

At the time the organ was built, funds were not available to finish the organ case and music gallery. A tempo­rary platform was built for the organ conso le and the pipes were left ex­posed.

The College later comm issioned Na­zarian to design the music gallery and 19th century, French romantic sty le or­gan case. Work o n the music gallery, which was completed in April of 1984, included oak flooring and hand­wrought iron railings. Two staircases replaced the single staircase, the con­so le was moved to the back of the gal­lery and the depth of the overall platform was shortened.

The organ is the musical and visual focus of many C hape l events including the annual series of organ recitals which brings internationally acclaimed artists to the College, the Lessons and Carols services each December which

TWO SOPHOMORES were awarded the Faculty Scholar Prize in recognition of their outstanding work freshman year and their potential as scholars. They are Susan E.

Sloan, chairman of the Faculty Scholar Prize committee.

attract two capacity congregations, and features performances by the College's concert choir.

The Chapel, consecrated in the spring of 1932, continues to receive em­bellishments and modifications which enhance the building. Among other gifts received in recent years are a trumpet installation for the organ, a practice clavier for the carillon, a prayer desk and various carvings.

ALUMNI ADMISSIONS PROGRAM SET

The annual three-day admissions weekend for alumni daughters and sons has been scheduled for September 19-2 1. The objective of the program is to familiarize high school seniors with the College admissions process and to enhance their chances of entering the college of their choice, whether or not they plan to attend Trinity.

Those attending will have opportuni­ties to talk with admissions officers , go to classes and join with current under­graduates in dormitory life and various activit ies. Participants will also receive general counseling on the college ad­missions procedures.

All alumni wi ll receive a mailing this summer describing the weekend in more detail. Those wishing additional information should contact Gerald J. Hansen, Jr., director of alumni and col­lege relations, who is supervising the program.

FUND HONORS GARY McQUAID '64

A scholarsh ip and prize fund has been established at the College in memory of Gary W. McQuaid '64, with gifts from family and friends, classmates, and fraternity brothers.

McQuaid was vice president of mar­keting for the Hershey Chocolate Company in Hershey, PA, at the time of his death on September 29, 1984. He joined the company in 1966, the year he earned an M.B.A. from Columbia University.

At Trinity he was an economics ma­jor, a soccer player, and an active

member of Sigma Nu fraternity. More than $30,000 has been given or

pledged to the Gary McQuaid Fund, fo llowing a special appeal by one of Gary's close friends and fraternity brothers, Daniel Saklad '64. Many classmates and members of Sigma Nu responded.

In recognition of McQuaid's aca­demic and business career, the scholar­ship will be awarded with a preference to economics majors or to students who have expressed an interest in a business career. Details of the prize are still to be arranged.

Gary McQuaid is survived by his wife, Patricia, and two children .

FACULTY RESEARCH GRANTS AWARDED

Five members of the faculty have been awarded supplemental leave grants by the College for the spring term. Established in 1983 by the Fac­ulty -Research Committee, these grants provided course reductions for facu lty to pursue research during the academic year.

The recipients and their research topics are: Howard DeLong, professor of philosophy, "On Definition and Un­solvability;" Michael Sacks, associate professor of sociology, "Gender and Ethnic Divisions in the Work Force of the USSR in 1926;" Craig Schneider , associate professor of biology, "Marine A lgae in the Carolinas;" and Mark Si l-

verman, assistant professor of physics, "Investigation of Novel Aspects of the Optics and Chiral Media- Implica­tions for the Observation of Parity Vi­olations in Atoms."

A grant for collaborative study funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has been awarded for the first time this year. Physicists C harles Miller and Harvey Picker, mathemati­cian Ralph Walde and philosopher Howard DeLong will investigate the concept of recursion as it applies to various disciplines. Particular emphasis will be placed on the use of the com­puter and computer graphics as tools in understanding iterative concepts and processes.

Funds for the Mellon Grants for Col­laborative Study come from a grant made by Mellon in 1983 for the devel­opment of "fresh combinations" in teaching and learning. Groups of three to five facu lty from one or more de­partments are invited to submit pro­posals for collaborative research endeavors. Successful applicants are provided with course relief and re­search budgets for their work.

FRAT DISCIPLINED FOR PLEDGE HAZING

Alpha Delta Phi has been disciplined by the College as a result of two hazing incidents that took place during frater­nity rush this past fall.

The fraternity has been forb idden to engage in any social activities in their chapter house or on campus, including recruiting new members, for the rest of the academic year. The pledges in­volved in the hazing and five fraternity offi cers were formally admonished, and "the officers given pensums- assign­ments of work on campus - by Dean of Students David Winer.

One hazing incident involved fo rcing fraternity pledges to eat raw chicken li vers during rush activities in October. Many students became ill as a result. Subsequently it was learned the ADP pledges had also engaged in improper behavior on the campuses of Smith and Mt. Holyoke. Both the national fraternity and the local chapter ac­knowledged that these incidents consti­tuted hazing.

The faculty, the majority of whom voted to abolish fraternities in 1982, asked that President English give seri­ous consideration to the ADP incident when he finally reviews the place of fra­ternities at the College. They also re­quested that the administration study the effects of fr aternity membership and activities on the academic perfor­mance of students.

The Student Government Associa­tion and the Interfraternity Counci l both condemned the actions of A lpha Delta Phi, but both bodies expressed the hope that these events would not jeopardize the future of the fraternity system at Trinity.

GIVING TOPS HALFWAY MARK

Annual gifts from alumni and par­ents have sent both the Alumni Fund and Parents Fund over the 50 percent mark by the end of]anuary. Volun­teers will be working hard to raise the remainder of the goals by May 31 .

So far , contributio~s to the Alumni Fund total $449,000, or 55 percent of the $820,000 goal, a 4 percent increase over the amount raised at the same time last year. There has been an 8 per­cent increase in the number of gifts , as well as increases in membership in The President's C ircle, The Founders Soci­ety, and The Anniversary Club.

A new donor club, The Seabury Fel­lows, has attracted many new gifts of $500 or more.

According to Frank W. Sherman '50, director of annual giving, participation by alumni from the five most recent classes has also improved, with espe­cially good responses from the Class of 1984 as a resu lt of pledges made in their senior year.

Phonothons have been held in 10 cit­ies, involving 135 alumni volunteers and raising $63 ,852 in pledges from nearly 1 ,000 donors.

The Parents .Fund, meanwhile, has raised $99,000, or 62 percent of its $160,000 goal. Parent membership in The President's Circle, The Founders Society and other giving clubs is ahead of last year, Sherman reports.

The Alumni Fund and Parents Fund, combined with annual gifts from

Along the Walk Along the Walk Along the Walk Along the Walk

friends and business firms, provide un­restricted and scholarship support for the College's academic program each year. Trinity's budget this year is $27.4 million, of which $ 1.3 million must come from annual contributions.

PRIZE HONORS JOHN DANDO

A new prize, to be awarded annually to an undergraduate for outstanding work in the study of Shakespeare, has been established in honor of Professor Emeritus John Dando, who retired in 1982 after more than three decades of teaching at Trinity.

Dando is remembered by generations of alumni for his courses in Shake­speare, Dickens, film and critical the­ory, and his work as coach of the College's debating team, the Athe­neum Society. He became widely known through a popular television panel show he moderated on Hart­ford's Channel 3, and for his more than 20 years as literary critic for the Voice of America.

Dando continues to teach in Trini­ty's Vista and Elderhostel programs, makes recordings for the blind, and is taping literary works on cassettes for Random House.

The first John Dando Prize will be awarded at Honors Day, May 10. Friends and former students wishing to contribute to the prize fund may do so care of the College Development Of­fice.

TEN ELECTED TO PHI BET A KAPPA

Ten members of the C lass of 1985 have been elected to Phi Beta Kappa, the scholastic honor society.

The Trinity chapter, founded in 1845, is the eighth oldest in the nation.

The new members are: Matthew Bradley of Easton, CT, Patricia Gunther of Rockville, CT, Matthew Harthun of Manakin-Sobot, VA, Paul Moran of Dayville, CT and Paul New­man of Delafield, WI.

Also, Mark Parker of Groton, CT, Rala Potter of New Britain, CT, Court­land Sears of Manchester, CT, Richard

Shapiro of Stamford, CT, and Craig Tateronis of Auburn, MA.

Two additional elections will be held in March and May. Eventually, about 10% of the senior class wi ll be invited to join Phi Beta Kappa.

BLUE CROWNED PIGEON, from Les Pigeons, in the Enders Collection.

MAJOR ADDITION TO ENDERS COLLECTION

"Les Pigeons," a 19th century bird book which contains 87 hand-colored engravings of pigeons from around the world, is the first major addition to the Ostrom Enders Ornithology Collec­tion which was given to Trinity last year.

Published in 1811, "Les Pigeons" is an early example of a monograph de­voted to a single group of birds. The French text was written by ornitholo­gist Coenraad Jacob Temminck, who classified and named over 40 species of pigeons and doves. The book is illus­trated by Pauline Knip, a natural his­tory painter for Empress Marie Louise, and is the only example of her work in the Trinity collection.

The Enders Ornithology Collection, given to the College by Ostrom Enders of Avon, CT last year, contains more than 6,000 volumes and is valued at more that $1.2 million. Works by au-

thors and artists from the early 17th century to the present are included in the working library. The collection is rich in rare color plates and is strongly supported by scientific texts and peri­odicals.

Funds from the Enders endowment were used to purchase "Les Pigeons" last November from an English book dealer for about $11,000. Additional acq uisitions are anticipated.

FOUR REACH FULL PROFESSOR

Four faculty members have been pro­moted to the ra'nk of full professor.

ARNOLD L. KERSON has been named professor of modern languages. Kerson holds bachelor's and doctoral degrees from Yale University. He joined the Trinity staff as a Spanish in­structor in 1960. His research and writ­ing have been in the field of Spanish colonial literature.

POETRY HONOR AWARDED SENIOR

Mara Eilenberg, an English major from Flushing, NY, has been named a Connecticut Student Poet for 1985.

The 21-year-old senior is one of four Connecticut college students who were chosen as student poets on the basis of a statewide competition sponsored by the Connecticut Poetry Circuit last fall. The stude,nts will read their poetry at campuses around the state this win­ter.

Eilenberg studied at the Cesare Bar­bieri Center, Trinity's campus in Rome, Italy, last semester and says the experience should serve as inspiration for new poems. She began writing po­etry two years ago and explains that she writes about her close relationships with her grandmothers and "the things young people experience."

Eilenberg received the top award of the John Curtis Underwood Memorial Prizes in Poetry last year and received third prize two years ago. She has served as editor and writer for Trinity Review, the literary magazine, and has written arts and entertainment reviews for The Trinity Tripod, the student

newspaper. She has also had intern­sh ips at Atlantic Monthly magazine and the Greater Hartford Arts Council.

In the future, Eilenberg plans to work in the publi shing field and attend graduate school.

Calm for Breakfast

Nothing will break this rhythm. I decide whether the water will be still: the grey-green water, delicious, thick, cold underneath me. This morning is not unusual; the air is wet, I am hungry, I see cars, bicycles, grey buildings,

geese, other ducks. I have chosen to be alone, though, to possess this water, to make ripples, not to make ripples. I gave up breakfast with the others: noise, greed, fish, company. I will eat the calm; I will swallow it, it is all I want. I must only pump my fanned feet­pretty motors -and I glide, water curling behind my

body. If I were to stop I would not be less

beautiful. Mara Eilenberg

The survey has been conducted an­nually for the past nineteen years by UCLA and the American Council on Education. Trinity freshmen have par­ticipated in the study for the last seven years, filling out the survey forms dur­ing orientation in September. In all , 182,370 full-time freshmen at 345 col­leges and universities nation:wide were included in this year's study.

The survey presents data separately for each institution, for men and women, by school type, control, and selectivity, and by geographical region.

Forty-four percent ofT rinity fresh­men described their political orienta­tion as middle of the road, while 30 percent were liberal or far left and 25 percent were conservative or far right. In 1977, the first year that Trinity par­ticipated in this study, 41 percent char­acterized themselves as moderates, 37 percent were liberals, and 22 percent were conservatives.

The vast majority of the Trinity students were critical of the national government for not controlling envi-

ronmental pollution (85 percent) and not working hard enough for disarma­ment (78 percent). However, only a quarter supported the legalization of marijuana, and 65 percent favored re­taining the death penalty for major crimes.

On a national level, there is a grow­ing trend toward materialism among college freshmen, according to the study's principal author, Alexander W. Astin. In 1967, 44 percent of the re­spondents identified "being very well off financially" as an important per­sonal goa l; this year, that number was 71 percent nationally and 67 percent among Trinity freshmen. In contrast, student interest nationally in "develop­ing a meaningful life philosophy" was 45 percent this year, well below the peak of 83 percent in 1967. Sixty per­cent of current Trinity freshmen iden­tified this as an important objective.

Trinity's academic reputation was the most frequently cited reason for en­rolling at the College, and was men­tioned by 83 percent of the students. The success of alumni in getting good jobs and in gain ing admission to top graduate schools were also major rea­sons for attend ing Trinity. Sixty per­cent ofT rinity freshmen applied to five or more colleges; Trinity was first or second choice for 73 percent of the Class of 1988.

Three-fifths ofT rinity freshmen wrote a computer program in the last year, three-quarters performed volun­teer work and well over four-fifths at­tended a religious service. Sixty-one percent won a varsity letter in sports. Only 6 percent reported having smoked cigarettes in the past year, but 81 percent drank beer.

The percentage of students who identified themselves as Roman Catho­lics increased from 27 percent in the Class of 1977 to 4 2 percent in the Class of 1988. The percentage of Protestant and Jewish students declined, as well as the group which identified itself as hav­ing no religious affi liation.

Other interesting data about Trinity students is contained in the following chart. The responses ofT rinity fresh­men are compared where possible with those given by freshmen in 1977, and with responses of current students at highly selective colleges and at all insti­tutions.

tinguished lot, the choice for the Watkinson's first li­brarian was no less inspired.

James Hammond Trumbull, Secretary of State for Connecticut at the time of his Watkinson appoint­ment, was also Connecticut's first state librarian and played a prominent role in the Connecticut Historical Society. A distinguished scholar, he was recognized as an authority on languages of North America, colonial New England history, particularly Connecticut, and in bibliography. -

"His intellectual capacities were very influential in shaping the library," Kaimowitz says of the man who guided the Watkinson for the first 30 years. "These­lection of a man like Trumbull to head the library reflects the kind of hopes Watkinson had for the li­brary, and Trumbull fulfilled these hopes."

The Watkinson's second librarian, Frank Butler Gay, likewise served with distinction. Gay had trained under Trumbull, both as assistant librarian of the Watkinson, and as Connecticut Historical Society li­brarian. He is credited with recognizing the value of peripheral and ephemeral material for research in the absence of adequate funds for book purchases. Mar­garet Sax, associate curator, notes, "Gay was an excel­lent librarian who had somewhat different tastes from Trumbull, so he added more in other fields. He was more interested in literature and the arts in general. It was at that time that gifts on almost every subject started to come to the library, too."

Gay served untill 934, so that these two librarians directed the growth of the Watkinson between them for over 70 years, to a scholarly collection of 130,000 volumes. It was also during the 1930s that the library's trustees first sought solutions to a serious building problem- the unsatisfactory quarters that the Wat­kinson shared with the Hartford Public Library and the Connecticut Historical Society in the Wadsworth Atheneum, and the financial problem involved in

maintaining and adding to the remarkable collections. By the time Ruth Agnes Kerr, who had worked

with Frank Butler Gay, was installed as the Watkin­son's third librarian, these problems had become acu te. In the depths of the Depression, the library some years paid out more for insuring the books it already owned than for buying new ones. In David Watkinson's Library, a book written for the 100th an­niversary, author, Marian G.M. C larke, then curator, writes of Miss Kerr: "The first twenty-five years of her tenure were spent under the trying circumstances of a deteriorating building, inadequate help and lack of basic equipment. But she made the best of it and served the public in an imaginative and knowledge­able fashion."

There had been a disturbing incidence of thefts from the library in the early 1930s, after which all but two alcoves - those containing bibliography and strictly reference material - were closed to the public. The library's trustees in the mid-1930s considered all ava ilable means to cut expenditures, the most success­ful measure taken being the sale of duplicate books and pamphlets to other libraries.

A grant from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving in 1937 enabled the library to purchase some books in its especially strong subject areas and renew publ ication subscriptions which had been dropped due to lack of funds. But, the resumption of purchas­ing further dramatized a lack of adequate shelving. And, the Atheneum building itself was in need of re­pair. Roof leaks had resulted in damage to valuable books in the library vault, and the collection was suf­fering further damage from excessive heat and dryness in the winter, and humidity in the summer. In 1950 the library had to be closed to all but a few students when the Hartford Fire Marshal found serious defects in the Watkinson building. By that time the library's trustees had already begun deliberations on a new

home for the Watkinson. In the late 1940s Trinity was taking steps to resolve

its space problems, planning an extensive addition to its library building, for which funds had already been set aside. In 1949, following a suggestion by Trinity President G. Keith Funston that the Watkinson be housed in the new College library, the Watkinson trustees voted to accept Trinity's offer. Conferences between the boards of the two institutions, assurance of funds by the Old Dominion Foundation for a new building if the merger were to take place, and ap­proval by the state legislature and courts made possi­ble the erecting of a new building (1952) and the bringing together of the two libraries into their pres­ent union. By the terms of the agreement between the Trinity and Watkinson boards, and the court order sanctioning the merger, full possession of the library and all its assets was granted to Trinity, with the un­derstanding that the library remain as a separate, non­circulating collection of the College library. After the merger the Trinity librarian became the Watkinson librarian also. The fourth and fifth librarians in the Watkinson's history have been Donald Engley and Ralph Emerick.

The move was completed in 1952, with the Watkin­son occupying the entire third floor of the new build­ing. In 1979 when the Trinity library was expanded, the Watkinson moved into spacious quarters on the A floor of the Trinity library. The Watkinson's reading room contains the card catalogs, a sizable reference collection relating to all aspects of its holdings, and current periodicals. The Trumbull Room, named in memory of the first librarian, is its main exhibition space, containing shelved examples of early printing books and fine printing. Additional exhibition cases are located in the Audubon Room, which houses the Enders and Russell Collections.

The library's current staff of five includes Kaimow-

itz, Sax, Assistant Curator Karen Clarke and Catalo­gers Caroline Danchak and Viola Breit, a vital part of the Watkinson enterprise. They are assisted by nu­merous student workers.

"We have so many different activities here," Kai­mowitz says, "and, for security reasons, we need to have someone in the room at all times when the li­brary is open to the public." The students do book­plating and make boxes for books, accessioning and conservation work, retrieving of books for customers, and some cataloguing of the sheet music and manu­scripts. The curators are most often occupied in help­ing visitors with research, answering correspondence, requesting information or photo orders, or planning the library's exhibits and open houses.

These public events offer the Watkinson's most di­rect means of outreach to the community. Held four times a year, the open houses present an opportunity to acquaint visitors with the library. There are visiting speakers, whose topics are usually connected with an area of the collection's holdings. Often, there will be an exhibition coinciding with the topic, affording an opportunity to display certain books that wouldn't normally be seen.

"The exhibitions in themselves are a great learning process for us," says Kaimowitz. "I just completed writing an exhibit on classical archaeology in the 18th century, and I was amazed at how many things we do have. We have a very complete collection- and that's just one small subject. Coming up in the fall I'm planning an exhibit on the American Indian in the · Northeast, in connection with the anniversary of the state. That is one of the pleasures of researching and using the collections - to discover some new area and learn about it."

of printing, including early printed books and modern fine printing. However, Sax notes that her interests have arisen from the strengths of the collection.

"I didn't start off being particularly interested in American history," says the Scotland native, "but this is such a good source that I became interested in it. You tend to tailor your interests to the collection. I think we're very fortunate here in that we have the choice to become interested in so many things. This is such an eclectic collection."

"It's eclectic," Kaimowitz agrees, "but it's not with­out its depth. There is considerable material. When I came here I was already interested in early printing because I had a background in classics."

Kaimowitz received his undergraduate degree from Johns Hopkins University and Ph.D. from the Uni­versity of Cincinnati, taught classics for a time and then worked in special collections at the New York Public Library. He earned his M.L.S. from Columbia University and came to Trinity as curator of the Wat­kinson in 1977.

Sax received her M.A. in English from the Univer­sity of Edinburgh, and then worked in the university's library as cataloguer and then superintendent, depart­mental libraries. Receiving a Fulbright Scholarship to study in the U.S., she worked at M.LT. as associate reference librarian and later humanities librarian, joining the Watkinson staff in 1973.

Karen Clarke, who is assistant curator with respon­sibility for the Enders Collection, is a graduate of Smith College and worked for four years on the main­tenance and cataloguing of the Enders Collection be­fore joining the Watkinson staff in 1984.

What's ahead for the Watkinson? The curators envi­sion many possibilities, which may enhance the pos­ture of the library. On the not-too-distant horizon are the positive benefits to be accrued when the Watkin­son and Trinity library holdings are computerized. The effort is a collaborative one, being undertaken with Connecticut College and Wesleyan University, and is expected to require several years for installation and entering all the database into the computer. When it is completed, increased use of the Watkinson collection is expected, as more library patrons learn of its holdings in various subjects. Kaimowitz says that there has already been interest generated through an existing library network, recalling a visit by a user of some ornithological works.

Once accomplished, the computerization will have "far reaching effects on all aspects of library work," Sax notes. "I can envisage the time when there will be less need for printed bibliographies because you will be able to get so much of the information right from the computer."

Kaimowitz foresees more sharing of materials and some cooperative purchasing in the future. "It's not always easy to get people to give up certain areas," he says, "but I hope we will do as much as possible in terms of sharing our resources." Some is already done on a small scale. When there are duplicate materials in the Watki-nson, and the curators know of an institu­tion that might be interested in them, they offer to give them, or make an exchange. Duplicate textbooks,

for instance, have been given to the Noah Webster House and the Prudence Crandall House; by the same token, the Watkinson has received materials from the Connecticut Historical Society. Occasionally, material is loaned to other institutions for exhibitions and shows; one of the music exhibitions was recently loaned to the State University of New York, for exam­ple.

The sharing and outreach further reflect the libra­ry's goal to remain open to the public and better known to all. The late Wilmarth Lewis, scholar and longtime trustee of the Watkinson, perhaps best summed up the library's mission and the spirit of David Watkinson's gift in remarks at a celebration of its first 25 years at Trinity in 1977. Lewis said: "Our libraries and museums have been collected and en­dowed by men like David Watkinson who knew that the study of the past enriches the present and who gave their collections as Abraham Redwood of New­port gave his, 'with nothing in mind but the good of mankind.'

Treasures of the Ages

Americana is a specialty in the Watkinson's collection.

By Roberta Jenckes

''-'There on the Trinity campus would you expect to find an exquis­WW itely illustrated medieval Book of Hours, a vintage World War I poster, and leaves from the Gutenberg Bible? Such treasures are gen­erally associated with leading museums inst5ad of small liberal arts colleges, but at Trinity these are among the rare finds housed within the walls of the Watkinson Library. Among its holdings are the largest, smallest, o ldest and most valuable books in the Trinity collec­tion. There is the magnificent elephant folio Audubon volume whose pages are larger than a standard-sized newspaper, and an English almanac, with slip cover, that is smaller than most postage stamps. There are volumes bound in ivory, silk, and silver, breathtaking illuminated manuscripts and uncounted other treasures in a total collection whose official holdings are placed at 165,000 volumes.

"People are always finding things here that they just don't expect," says Jeffrey Kaimowitz, curator of the Watkinson, with unconcealed pleasure and pride. "For example, Ron Kiener, an assistant professor of religion, was surprised to find that we had a classic work of Arabic lexicography here. But, when the Watkinson was founded in 1857, the intention was to establish a comprehensive research library for the city of Hartford, and so we have a lot of old standards from the 19th century. The Watkinson's first librarian, James Hammond Trumbull, drew up a syllabus for collecting for the library and bought systematically. He was particularly interested in linguistics. So we have some remarkable early holdings, like the Arabic dictionary.

"Just as the Trinity College library is a contemporary research library," he continues, "the Watkinson was founded with that in mind. That explains why it is rich in the period of its founding, the 19th c.entury. Unfortunately, because of financial problems, the col­lection couldn't be kept current, so that now it has become one of older, rarer books."

While many of those books are now seen as treasures, regarded with awe and some fascination, it's their usefulness as research tools to scholars, students and the general public that interests the Watkinson staff. "We don't treat things in an antiquarian way, saying, 'Look how valuable and old this book is,'" says Kaimowitz. "Rather, we try to emphasize its historic and intrinsic value. This is a research and rare

book library, with the emphasis in that order. We're always striving to have the library better known; peo­ple even come from abroad to use the library."

In the main, though, the Watkinson's principal cus­tomers - approximately 70 percent - are connected with Trinity, the vast majority of them students. The other 30 percent are scholars and students from other institutions and the general public.

"The use of the library is largely determined by the way professors bring materials to the attention of stu­dents," notes Margaret Sax, associate curator of the Watkinson. "We always welcome classes coming and using materials. Whenever there is a professor who is interested in the collection and says to his or her stu­dents, 'Look, this is a marvelous source for primary material, come and use it,' then our usage goes up. If there are classes at Trinity that mesh with our collec­tion, then that presents the best opportunity for it to be used.

"For example, this past semester we've had a num­ber of students from the Women's Studies Program. A student, who was researching how women were por­trayed in advertising in the 19th century, based a whole paper on one enormous scrapbook that was full of advertisements. All this material, these colored ad­vertisement cards and so on, was just perfect for her use, because it was so much better to see the material than to read about it.

"A lot of people tend to discount ephemera," Sax observes, "ephemera being sheet music, posters, Val­entines, prints, and things of that sort - but, it's terri­bly useful. That student's paper, using a scrapbook, is just one example. The rare books are not always the ones that are used the most. A beautifully printed book is a kind of object, rather than something to use in research. Whereas, something that may not appear terribly important can actually be a very useful addi­tion from the researcher's point of view."

The beautiful books, however, can also be utilitar­ian, as when fine arts students use them to study book illustration. The religion department has employed some of the early material for studying Bible history, and the history of the alphabet. A course which Kai­mowitz taught on Renaissance printing made use of the Watkinson collection. Many Trinity faculty use the co llection and outside scholars also put the re­sources of the library to good use. A biographer, writ­ing an upcoming work on Robert Frost, has researched the Watkinson holdings on the poet, and much of the excellent material on Frost is being pho­tographed for the book. An American music history scholar, in looking through the library's impressive co llection of music, recently found something that he thought was in the hand of American composer Wil­li am Billings.

SHEET MUSIC covers are artistic and instructive.

"In the last few years," Sax notes, "there has been a great deal of scholarly interest in American music, and the Watkinson has a very large sheet music collec­tion - 25,000 pieces- going back to the late 18th century . American 19th century sheet music is useful not just as music, but as social history. There was a lot of popular music written at the time of the building of the Erie Canal, for instance, and you sense attitudes about events like these from the music. And there are election campaign songs, with political themes."

The Watkinson's extensive American Indian mate­rials have also been put to good use. Kaimowitz recalls the Connecticut Attorney General's office using the library for a case involving state tribes seeking repara­tions for lost lands. In another instance the Watkin­son's early Indian material aided a scholar doing linguistic research.

By far the most eventful "find" at the Watkinson library in recent years was that of the Cole letters, which were "rediscovered" by Kaimowitz in 1982. The 19 letters were written by American romantic painter Thomas Cole to his wealthy Hartford patron, Daniel Wadsworth. The only known correspondence from the years 1826-1832, the discovery virtually doubled the known correspondence between Cole and his early patrons. Kaimowitz had found the letters, which were bound together years ago with a copy of an ora­tion delivered at Cole's funeral by his close friend and admirer, poet William Cullen Bryant. Because the vol-

ume had been filed under the name of Bryant, it had escaped the attention of scholars looking for material relating to Cole. The letters were recently published under the editorship of Dr. J. Bard McNulty, James]. Goodwin Professor of English emeritus.

The earliest printed materials in the Watkinson col­lection are placed under the rubric of incunabula, a heading traditionally ascribed to books printed before 1501. In that grouping the Watkinson has about 200 items, "a nice collection," says Kaimowitz, "represent· ative, to a considerable extent, of what was printed in that period." His own definition, somewhat more gen­erous, classifies incunabula as up to around 1600. In that period, he says, the Watkinson has perhaps 2,000 books. There is, for example, a collection called the Trumbull-Prime, which is illustrated books, and scrap­books of Durer and other illustrators. There are many religious books, editions of the Greek and Roman classics, books of early voyages and travels, linguistics materials, examples of very early printing from Italy, and some leaves from the Gutenberg Bible. Among these items, Kaimowitz says, are some that are "at least unique to the United States."

Chronologically following the incunabula is the li­brary's medieval material, combining the Trinity and Watkinson collections. Works of literature are well represented in what Kaimowitz describes as "not a large collection, about 20 items, but among them some fine Books of Hours, and several Korans."

The strength of the Watkinson collection, and the area most used by scholars, is Americana, particularly 19th century. This focus is reflected in the main sub­ject areas of the collection: American Indian, slavery and abolition, music, natural history, especially orni­thological, history of printing and book arts, maritime history, World War I, horology, bibliography, Civil War pamphlets, early American printing, dating back to the 17th century, and voyages and travels.

In the Watkinson's print collection are a very large number by Currier & Ives, English political prints of the 18th and early 19th centuries, including carica­tures, and Naval prints. The H enry Barnard Collec­tion on Education includes 7,000 early American texts.

While the Watkinson's primary focus is Americana, the co llection does have fine British genealogical and local history publications. There are also political, eco­nomic, and religious tracts of the 18th and 19th centu­ries , British and American periodicals of the same period, and journals of European and American learned societies.

"One of our best resources," Sax says, "is our 18th and 19th century per iodicals, which are used a great deal. Some of the more unusual ones are really valua­ble for research purposes, particularly magazines. Many minor writers were first published in periodi-

cals , and we may have the issues in which they first appeared. A scholar once came from Germany to use one of our periodicals because the Watkinson h ad the only copy she could find. Printed in a newspaper-for­mat, and published in New York, it was the kind of publication that most libraries would regard as a rather secondary popular magazine. But, it contained novels in insta llments, and this individual was inter­ested in a particular writer whose novels had never been printed in any other form. It was a monumental thing that would have been almost impossible to xe­rox, so she had to come and see it.

"One of my favorite periodicals," Sax notes, "is a marvelous English book called The Repository of the Arts. Another English publication, probably our most used periodical, is The Illustrated London News. It comes right up to the present, but it's a wonderful source of illustrated material of the whole span of the 19th century."

The library's fine collection of World War I material was acquired, strangely enough, in the form of "free­bies" by the Watkinson's second fibrarian, Frank But­ler Gay. "There wasn't much money to acquire material," Sax relates, "but all free gifts were accepted, and he bought a certain amount. Gay also collected all kinds of things that most people wouldn't have thought worth keeping. You often find envelopes

filled with all sorts of little pamphlets. So now the Watkinson has a respectable collection ofWorld War I material, not just American but French, German, British and others."

A lso obviously collected at the time, were materials from the Spanish-American War. "This is an example of a collection that really has yet to be exploited," Kaimowitz notes, adding that much of the material is in Spanish, "quite ephemeral items, unfortunately printed on poor quality paper," but which Gay saw fit to acquire at the time. H e also was responsible for collecting some very good local history materials.

The Watkinson collections do not end with the 19th century, however. In the special material cate­gory (manuscripts and ephemera) are its author collec­tions, several of which are contemporary. The Robert Frost collection is "one of the best around," according to Kaimowitz. The Watkinson collection of material on poet Edgar Arlington Robinson, however, is even more impress ive because it is very complete and in­cludes about 80 of h is letters.

In terms of manuscript collections, the library's most important holdings are the papers of 19th-cen­tury editor and writer Charles Dudley Warner. "It's the best collection of Warner material that exists -quite a few thousand letters, and the proofs and man­uscripts of his books," Kaimowitz observes. "Warner was certainly a major figure in H artford , a figure of some considerable prominence in this country in his day, and he reflects a lot about his times. Also, impor­tantly, he corresponded with many peopfe greater than he, like novelist William Dean Howells and nov­elist and phi lanthropist Helen Hunt Jackson. "

The Watkinson holdings in author collections are at least partially the result of the generosity of trustees and fri ends of the libr<1ry. The exemplary E.A. Robin­son collection and some of the Robert Frost materials owe their strength to gifts by former trustee H. Bacon Collamore, who was on familiar terms with the two poets.

The same holds true with the Hickmon Ashendene Collection, which was a very important grouping of donor A llerton C. Hickmon's private press books. A substantial collection at the Watkinson, private press is defined as one that a person establishes for the pleasure of printing and producing books. It's an area that the library is supplementing whenever possible, Kaimowitz says, and one on which an upcoming ex­hibit is based.

Having special areas of strength in the collection helps the giving process. "This past year," Kaimowitz notes, "we received a collection of limited editions club books and a number of early books on horse­manship from one of our trustees. We've received a number of rea lly good gifts- some World War I post­ers, for example. We never could have justified pur­chasing something like that."

The Watkinson enjoys a somewhat unique situa­tion, due to its separateness as an institution. It has its own endowment , currently around $1.5 million, and,

unlike many other special collections of its type, it is supported largely by its endowment income, and not by the library to which it is attached. Thus, the gifts it receives are especially important.

"We have certain criteria for accepting gifts, al­though they are fairly broad," Kaimowitz says. "We definitely don't keep everything that comes in or is old. It's important to have some kind of focus. We consider 19th-century Americana our main area of ~oncentration. That is not too difficult a goal. The 19th century is still an area where there is a lot of material available and it is not expensive. When we have had money to make purchases, we've used it for that, as well as keeping up our current holdings, bibli­ographies and ancillary materials to facilitate use of the collection."

The Watkinson receives a large number of gifts, ranging from 400 in a year to as many as 1 ,000. Its most outstanding recent gift was The Ostrom Enders Ornithology Collection, a major natural history li­brary of 6,000 volumes, predominantly ornithological and valued at more than $1.2 million, given by Mr. Enders, a trustee of the Watkinson since 1970. With

the addition of the Enders Collection to the Watkin­son's already considerable ornithological holdings, the library has become one of the larger and more impor­tant depositories of ornithological materials in Amer­ica.

Described as a working library of considerable scope and depth, the Enders Collection is rich in rare col­ored plate books, strongly supported by scientific texts and periodicals. The collection includes works by au­thors and artists from the early 17th century to the present, including an outstanding lithograph of The Birds of America, From the Original Drawings of John ]ames Audubon, issued in 1860 by his son. Impor­tantly, the collection came to the library fully cata­logued, and provisions were made for the library to maintain and augment the fund through the proceeds of a fund established by Mr. Enders and his brother, Dr. John F. Enders. Karen Clarke, who had cata­logued the collection before it came to Trinity, joined the staff as assistant curator, with responsibility for the Enders Collection.

Since its installation in the library a year ago, the Enders Collection has attracted scholars and in-

creased interest in the library itself. Karen C larke reg­ularly assists a New Jersey couple who are using some of its 18th century ornithological works for a publica­tion they are writing. She says that they come to the Watkinson because "this is a pleasant place for them to get to the materials they need for their research." Another recent user of the Enders Collection was a local high school student writing a paper on penguins. The student had approximately 20 books on the sub­ject to consult for his research. Such visits are gratify­ing, C larke notes, "because the fact that the Watkinson is open to the public is one of the reasons that Mr. Enders gave his library here."

The fact that the Enders gift was catalogued before it came to Trinity, and came with money to support it was especially important. "It's expensive to process books, " Sax notes, "and you often don't get money for that. Which is not to say that we don't like getting gifts ... if we didn't get gifts, we wouldn't be add ing very much."

In fact, if the Watkinson curators were pressed to come up with a "wish list" based on library needs,

conservation work, particularly binding and paper . repairs, would be near the top of the list. More endowment funds to increase the library's acquis i­tions and cataloguing are also of paramount im­

portance, but the book conservation and restoration demands are ongoing. The amount of binding needed in a library like the Watkinson is

enormous, because so many old books require it , but the expense involved in h aving them bound by a professional restoration book binder is much greater than with a commercial binder. As a stopgap measure, books are kept in individual cardboard boxes made by students, and a small number are bound. Kaimowitz thinks that if funds were available, the li­brary could actually use a full-time person to do bind­ing and paper restoration and generally service the collection.

Sax's wish list would include a re-cataloguing of a very large portion of the library, an estimated 75,000 books which are not listed in the main catalogue. "The fact that our collections are cat alogued is terribly important for research, and we just don't have the staff to do all of this."

Sax has still another wish. "I would like more people to use the library ," she says. "It's still not quite as well known as it might be and people don't realize what we have here. The more we can get to the general public and the scholars that we have, the h appier I'd be. I like it, too, when students sort of peek around our door and look as if to say, 'now I wonder if I should really be in here,' and to make them feel welcome, that this is something that they can use. That's impor­tant."•

Trintype Don Miller is a coach. A teacher

of football, softball, baseball and squash through the years, but first and foremost a coach - a coach in the sport of life.

He is best known for continually putting out solid football teams on Saturday afternoons in the fall. His success is a matter of record - a 94-47-3 record in eighteen years that includes only three losing seasons. But while he appears to be shaping football players on the outside, what he really is doing is molding young men on the inside, preparing them for life. "I truly believe football and athletics are an integral part of the educational process," says the father of three athletes and the grandfather of three prospective competitors.

A great athlete in his day, Miller was the captain of his Prospect Park (P A) High School football, basket­ball and baseball teams. It was at this early stage that he decided on his life's work. An admirer of Frank Buchy, his high school football coach, Miller claims, "His example influenced my decision to go into coaching." First came an honor­filled career at the University of Delaware where he continued to play all three sports. He started every game during four years as the Blue Hen quarterback, and was a first-team Little All-American as a senior when he was named the out­standing athlete of his 1955 class.

Miller was a winner then and he has been at every stop along the way since. As the head football coach at Newark (DE) High School, he had four winning seasons in as many years, including two undefeated campaigns, while earning his M.A. in education from Delaware. Fol­lowing that came six seasons - all winning - as the offensive coordi­nator at Amherst.

At that time, Trinity was looking for someone to groom as the even­tual successor to the renowned Dan Jessee. Coming to Hartford as the heir appar\nt, Miller worked as an assistant for two years before taking over the reins for the 196 7 season. Did he feel any pressure in succeed­ing a legend? "Not really," Miller recalls, "since I had been here two years and knew the personnel."

If there was any pressure, he did not show it. The rookie head coach led his Bantams to a 6-1-1 record,

missing a perfect season by the mar­gin of a tie and a one-point loss to Amherst.

At Trinity, Miller has maximized the talent at his disposal. A devoted emulator of Harvard coach Joe Res­tic's "multi-flex" offense that in­cludes multiple formations and motion, Miller says, "It is compli­cated, but we have bright players here and we capitalize on that. Also, the offense is more exciting for the players with its emphasis on throw­ing the ball."

Another example of Miller's faith in Trinity players is his philosophy of letting the quarterback call his own plays, rare even in the profes­sional ranks.

Along with their athletic achieve­ments, Miller is proud of his play­ers' performance off the field and of his role in that. "The first things I look at in evaluating recruits is their SAT verbal scores; then the math and their rank in class. If they don't meet the standards, we don't waste our time."

In taking wide-eyed freshmen straight out of high school and molding them into adults, Miller says, "We have to develop a trust­ing relationship first. You don't teach character, our players already have that. But when they are placed in situations where it is tested, they learn a lot about themselves." He feels the key is the sacrifice each player makes personally. "A person will give of himself unselfishly to a large group when he thinks there is something to be gained for all. The season is a search for happiness and happiness is gained through the welfare of the team."

Miller knows he has played an important role in students' devel­opment each of the many times al­umni return and say that football was one of the most worthwhile ex­periences of their time at Trinity.

That experience has changed for

Coach Miller through the years. Not that football itself is so different. "It's become more sophisticated and complex and everyone is teaching better," he observes, "but it's noth­ing significant. What has changed is the attitude."

In the old days, the coach was the absolute leader. Now he finds the relationship with the players is more positive. "You get to know them better. There is a lot of coun­seling - about home life, school work, financial aid and getting jobs."

While at Amherst, Miller had the opportunity to be an assistant coach for Bud Wilkenson at the power· house University of Oklahoma. Miller was on the fast-track to big­time success. He jumped off. "I wanted to stay in Division Ill. I still coach here. In Division I, the coach has so many other responsibilities that he does not coach."

In making that decision, Miller decided it would not be right to go. It would not be Division Ill, it would not be N.E.S.C.A.C.; it would not be Don Miller.

This is a man who took the re­sponsibility of leading the brand new women's softball team a few years ago, after being the freshman baseball coach for a number of years. "There is not much differ­ence between men and women. The women are very interested in win­ning. They'll work hard and be un­selfish." He also teaches advanced and beginning squash physical edu­cation courses. "I particularly enjoy the beginners. It is a real challenge to help them feel comfortable with the game."

Involved. Concerned. A winner. Don Miller has changed with the times but these qualities remain. Tired of the job? No way. "I still think of myself as a young coach. You are always searching, as in any profession, for improvements, a better way. I'm still learning."

Seabury Uestored Once a chapel, it's now an outstanding example of adaptive reuse.

The new, cushioned, wooden benches are similar in design to old benches in Seabury's science lab and can seat 76 people. The seating area is built on a slight angle to improve lines of sight and is enclosed by a wooden railing. Acoustical panels, carpeting, and cushions were added to correct the sound problems. Doorways were redesigned to meet fire codes. The new woodwork is all made of ash to match the old woodwork. Painted surfaces combine shades of off­white and brown, which architects believe to be the original color scheme.

ing and replacing the fluorescent lights with electric chandeliers that are similar to the old, gaslight fix­tures. Track lights and a lighting panel were also in­stalled.

The focus of the Seabury Hall restoration project has now shifted to a pilot project of refurbishing twelve 107-year-old cast-iron windows of various shapes and designs, says Siu-Chim Chan, director of building and grounds. Most of these windows were located in students' rooms and were drafty or immovable. Bro­ken and missing pieces were replaced, and window frames were stripped to bare metal and repainted by Architectural Iron Company of Milford, P A.

A fenestration study indicated that restoring and refitting the cast iron windows in Seabury Hall would cost less than replacing them with aluminum win­dows, improve energy efficiency and preserve the building's historic significance. The existing cast iron material is inherently strong, so the restored windows will be durable and require little maintenance, the re­port states. If the pilot project is deemed a success, more windows can be done, Chan says.

During earlier phases of the Seabury restoration project, faculty offices were renovated, the heating sys­tem was modernized and meeting rooms for the hu-

manities were established. Still on the waiting list are the restoration of the

science laboratory (Seabury 16) as well as the refur­bishing and reflooring of classrooms. Restoring the science lab had been next on the agenda, but has been put on hold because funds aren't available. Out of a $300,000 budget, almost $250,000 was spent on the former chapel's restoration. This left some funds for window repairs but not enough for the science lab's restoration which is estimated to cost between $100,000 and $200,000, Chan says.

There are no plans at the present time to raise money for the science lab's restoration although it may be one objective of the upcoming capital cam­paign, says Constance Ware, vice president for devel­opment.

Funding for the $881,250 Seabury Hall restoration project came from a variety of sources. They include a $150,000 challenge grant from the National Endow­ment for the Humanities, $481,250 which the College raised from outside sources, including the George F. Baker Trust, the Pew Memorial Trust, the Booth-Fer­ris Foundation and an anonymous donor. The Col­lege also allocated $250,000 for the project.

Seabury Hall was designed by noted English archi-

teet William Burges. Built in 1878, it is the oldest building on campus and is considered a foremost ex­ample of Victorian Gothic collegiate architecture. Restoration of the five-story building, which contains faculty and administrative offices, classrooms, dance studios and student housing, is being done on a long­term basis, depending in part on the availability of funds.

The chapel's restoration was done under the direc­tion of Irving B. Haynes and Associates of Providence, RI, an architectural firm experienced in historic pres­ervation. General contractors were Lupachino and Salvatore, Inc. of Bloomfield and woodwork was done by Ricketson Woodwork-Hartford Builders Finish Company. •

Sports WOMEN'S SWIMMING===:===:===:=

Chet McPhee's women's swim team is enjoying an­other winning season with a 6-2 mark and will be sending at least a dozen people, most of the team, to the New England Championships. Two tough meets remain that will test "Chet's Chicks" before they com· pete against the area's best.

Although the team's pace has been a shade off the past two amazing years', Coach McPhee says, "We've lost some highly ranked national swimmers and we haven't been able to replace them. We've won the close meets, though. They've come through." Particu­larly encouraging for the future has been a pair of freshmen - Susan Deer and Kim Horstman. Deer has qualified to compete in the New Englands in two freestyle events, all three breast stroke races and both individual medley distances. Horstman will swim a freestyle and two butterfly races in that meet.

The backbone of the team, however, has been the upperclassmen. Senior co-captains Lulu Cass and Laura Couch have led the team through a rigorous training schedule with hopes of building strength for the New Englands. Cass qualified in freestyle and but· terfly while Couch will compete in the breaststroke. Classmates Mel Foy and Susie Cutler have done the Lady Bant diving. Cutler doubles as a backstroker and has qualified in that event. The brightest star

returning next year is Barbie Brennan, holder ofT rin­ity records in the,200; 500; and 1000-yard freestyle and a qualifier in the 50- and 100-yard races.

MEN'S SWIMMING=:==:==:==:====:

With star veterans Rex Oyer and Jim Loughlin lead­ing a group of six to the New England Champion­ships, and a solid group of eight freshmen that has provided depth and spirit, the men's swim team is 4-3 with two meets remaining.

Oyer holds school records in the 50-yard freestyle and 100 backstroke while Loughlin has the 500, 1000 and 1650 freestyle records after just two years. Never­theless, Coach McPhee credits the large crop of rook­ies for the improved results. They have filled the holes in a line-up that, in years past, lacked numbers and virtually forfeited many points each meet. Chris Rob­bins has excelled in backstroke and the individual medley, Phil Drinkaus has provided great support in the butterfly, Mark Jamilkowski has been strong in breaststroke and Kirk Brett has shown good form in diving.

Senior co-captains Oyer and Tim Raftis and class­mates Dave Mugford and Courtland Sears look to end their careers with a winning mark. Coach Mc­Phee hopes that a strong finish in the final three meets will be carried over to next year and spell success in 1986.

WRESTLING==============

It is hard to imagine the coach of an 0-10 team talking positively, but Mike Darr does exactly that. "We've been more competitive. It's as good a team as we've had in years." As for the record, every break went against the Bantams. Ian Brodie tore knee carti­lage and was lost for the year. Trinity led M.I.T. by a point, but had to forfeit the heavyweight class as Ar­nie Amore was sick. A three-way meet with two lesser opponents was snowed out.

With no seniors on the squad, there is hope for next year. More immediately, Coach Darr hopes to have some of his wrestlers place in the New Englands. At 177 lbs., Joe Adam has come in 4th both his years. Nick Vernonis at 142, Will Thomas at 190, and Amore all have the potential to place in the tourna­ment.

SKI TEAM================

Competing against teams of more experience and depth, the men's ski team has struggled and is yet to taste victory in 1985. Coached by Steve Berlack, a former professional racer, the non-varsity team has traveled to New Hampshire and Massachusetts to compete each weekend against powerhouse schools such as Boston College, Brown and Plymouth State. Captain Max Smith has been a stand-out in slalom and giant slalom along with three Petes: Morris, Leav­itt and Weiss. All will return next year with hopes of building a bigger and better team.

FENCING================

Suffering from inexperience, the fencing team's hope is that the many freshmen and sophomores on the rosters will mean a brighter future. The men are currently 1-6 and the women are 2-4 although two of those losses were on tie-breaker points. Captains Cary Allen and Cathy Wallert will graduate after fine ca­reers, winners of more than 90% of their duels. Fresh­men Keith McCabe and Jennifer Blum and sophs Ricky Niner and Doug Curran are the nucleus of what should be a better squad in 1986.

BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME

The Trinity Basketball Hall of Fame was enlarged by four with the induction of John Kelly '34, James Kenney '38, Robert Jachens '50 and James Curtin '51 at the annual dinner in Hamlin Hall. All four were cited for the outstanding skill and spirit they brought to some excellent Bantam teams.

MEN'S BASKETBALL=========

Most coaches use the pre-season to prepare their players so they are ready to go from the first game. Stan Ogrodnik could not do that with this year's bas­ketball team. With only three regulars back from last season's championship squad, none of them seniors,

With a fall-away jumper, Ken Abere hits for two of his career-high 36 points against King's Point while }on Moor­house (42) gets position underneath.

he had to use every available moment in practice just analyzing the talent which includes no fewer than seven freshmen. The season has been a time of adjust­ment and acclimation. Although it was expected to be a re-building year for the Bantams, the impression is that this team will be right up with the best come play-off time. They are growing in confidence and dis­playing more abilities each time the young group faces new challenges. Despite having five losses in seventeen games, a number that equals the total of the last two years combined, three were in overtime. The other two were by a single point, one of those to the top­ranked team in New England, Colby.

The jewel of the team is junior forward Ken Abere. He is averaging over 21 points and nearly 7 rebounds each game. With a long-range jumper and a strong move to the basket, Abere is on a pace to shatter the Trinity career scoring record (set by Jim Bates last spring) early next season. While he, soph Mike Dono-

van, the consummate. point guard, and Bill Pfohl, who scores in double figures while hitting the boards, have continued their fine play of a year ago, it has been the emergence of the rookies that portend good things in Ferris Athletic Center. Jon Moorhouse is averaging over 11 points at center where he uses his 6'9" frame to grab 9 rebounds each outing. Guard Mark Lang­mead is beginning to assert himself offensively while T om Fitzgerald and Terry Blaney provide quality min­utes off the bench in the backcourt. Veterans Dan Monahan and Tim Curtis supply back-up muscle up front.

After a 3-1 start and a Christmas vacation in Eng­land to play former Trinity stars Tom King and Steve Bracken, who play semi-professionally, the Bants took Yale into overtime on their own floor before succumb­ing. An overtime loss to King's Point evened Trinity's record after six games despite Abere's career-high 36 points. The team then was the inhospitable host of the Liberty Bank Classic, winning the tourney for the third time in as many years, defeating Eastern Con­necticut and Wesleyan. Abere was named the MVP of the weekend. Moorhouse scored 28 against Wes and made the all-tournament team. Those two wins began a six-game streak of victories that ended in overtime at Clark. Recent triumphs over possible play-off foes Connecticut College and Brandeis, as well as the good showing at Colby, are indications that this Bantam team has strength that belies its youth.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL=-==-==-=

Having struggled and lost eight of their last nine,

the lady hoopsters now stand at 4-9. A number of factors have gone against the team, including injuries, a difficult schedule, and the inability to take advan­tage at the foul line. Karen Erlandson has searched for the right combination of players, butT rinity has not been able to match up against state powers such as Connecticut College, Hartford, and Western and Eastern State Universities.

Through it all, senior guard Karen Rodgers has shone. The All-American candidate has averaged over 16 points, 5 assists and 4 steals per game. She is second on the team in rebounding and blocked shots and also has great quickness and instincts. Two im­portant players have been stricken with physical ail­ments. Junior guard Sheila Andrus was averaging 12 points before a knee injury in the sixth game ended her season. Center Jeanne Mannes had high hopes for her senior year, but mononucleosis last fall slowed her down and only flashes of her brilliant inside play have appeared.

With added responsibility placed on their shoulders, other players have shown the potential to be the nu­cleus of the future. Junior guard Sis VanCleve has a good outside shot and can score in double figures. Sophomore forwards Sara Mayo and Betse Jones both have good moves and can lead the team in scoring on any given night. Jones can also rebound with the best, evidenced by her 14 boards at Smith.

Seniors Rodgers, Mannes, Kathleen Soley and Ro­bin Black are to be commended for four years of fine play, winning two NIAC titles, and for arranging this year's winter vacation trip to Ireland where Trinity played local colleges.

Mike Sload (1 7) back-hands a shot in on net. Mike leads the Ban­tams with 15 goals in 17 games. Frosh phenom Bob Loeber (20) awaits a possible rebound while Bill Blank (3) looks on.

ICE HOCKEY==============

It is quite simple to build a good hockey team. All you need is a hot goaltender, a solid crew of defense­men and some forwards who can put the •puck in the net. With that basic formula, John Dunham has put together the first group of Bantam pucksters to threaten for the ECAC crown since 1979. Currently 11-2 in Division III play, the Bantams are using contri­butions from the entire roster and have the talent to win it all, if the young players stand tall under pres­sure.

The hot netminder is sophomore Art Fitzgerald. He leads the ECAC with a stingy 2.19 goals-against-aver­age in Division III play. The leader of the Blue Line Crew is senior co-captain Barney Corning, an All­ECAC choice last year. Bantam fans will miss his ex­cit ing end-to-end rushes in the future. Junior Chris Lorenz and four so phs - Andy Filler, Bill Blank, Mike Doyle and Mike Solomita- fill out the list of defensemen. All are big players who have helped keep Fitzgerald's average down.

Trinity h as not depended on one or two players for scoring. Senior Mike Sload leads with 15 goals. Fresh­man Matt Keator is next with 10. Three additional rookies, Bob Loeber, Robert Shriver and Kevin Ro­binson, have combined for 21 scores. The player who makes it all click is junior co-captain Vern Meyer. He leads the team with 16 assists while scoring 7 times himself. Corning has found the net 6 times while mak­ing 11 assists.

Trinity has three games remaining in the division before two with Division II teams (Trinity is 0-3 in such games). If they play as well as in such big wins as the 5-2 wins at Amherst and Assumption, the Bants will be on the rink long after the ice outside melts.

MEN'S SQUASH====:::==:::==:::==:::==

If the early-to-mid- 1980s go down in history as the Golden Age of men's squash at Trinity, as it should, it will be due largely to the Class of 1985. Six seniors have brought unprecedented success to the program, even better than the glory years of 197 4-77.

There were no seniors on the team in 1983 when thjs group led Trinity to a best-ever ranking of fourth in the nation. Last year, again without a senior, the team moved up a notch to third. Now with a 10-2 record (11-2 after an expected win overT ufts), they have capped off their careers with a season in which they can do no worse than be tied for second.

At the top of the roster, Bill Doyle and Michael Georgy have dominated the sport. Both have lost only once this year and will be aiming to make the All-American team for a fourth time at the Nationals in March. Consistency in the middle of the line-up has been provided by John Conway and Doug Bur­bank, who defeated his Princeton foe 15-14 in the fifth game after trailing 2-0. Art Strome has played the best squash of his career this season, including 3-0 victories for the fifth and decisive wins against Yale and Prince­ton. The sixth senior, Sandy Monaghan, was injured most of this year after three excellent campaigns.

WOMEN'S SQUASH====:====:====:====:::=

The women's squash team recently competed in the Howe C up National Championships and finished with their highest ranking in history - second place. Only perennial champ H arvard proved better than the Lady Bants. Although the Crimson ousted the Blue and Gold 6-1, earlier in the year the two teams had fought a much tougher match, with Harvard a 4-3 victor. Trinity is now 10-2 with four matches left.

__l1__

SQUASH LEADERS. Senior Michael Georgy is seeking a fourth All-American ranking; Laura Higgs had key role in win over Princeton during The Howe Cup.

The key to rookie coach Wendy Bartlett's success has been the combination of a trio of seniors at #2-4 with a freshman who stepped right in and took over the #1 spot. Kat Castle, Laura Higgs and Kathy Klein have been fixtures on the Trinity squash ladder for four years and will leave a big hole. The newcomer is Ellie Pierce. She surprised everyone by quickly claim­ing the top spot, but promptly proved she belonged there. With sophomores Erika LaCerda and Nat Per­kins and junior Claire Slaughter rounding out the line-up, Trinity's depth was a big factor in defeating teams who have dominated in the past, such as Yale, Princeton and Pennsylvania.

FRANK MARCHESE 1921-1985

In May, 1983 , Frank Marchese re­tired from Trinity College as quietly as he had started more th an three decades before. Visiting alumni/ae and friends were surprised not to see Frank "be­hind the cage" in the Athletic Center, and missed the distinct deep laugh, the warm infectious smile, and the strong grip that were his trademarks. The "lit­tle man with the big heart" died on January 3rd, after a va liant almost two­year battle with cancer.

Through athletics, Frank was in con­tact with vi rtually every student for physical education, intramurals, or varsity sports. Unknowingly, all who passed through the Athletic Center were enrolled in "Human Nature 101" taught by Professor Marchese . Un­doubtedly, the best judge of character on campus, Frank was intolerant of be­havior not in keeping with "Trinity Gentlemen." Frank's corner of the fieldhouse provided a refreshing reality base where academic averages or var­sity statistics did not impress. In Frank's world, there was equality where behav­ior and attitude were important and status and position did not cou nt. In sports or daily life situations, the Marchese glare and tongue would edu­cate those he felt were "out of line." The ultimate weapon at his disposal, however, was assignment to "Frank 's List" along with the admonition: "Son, do you know what it's like to go t hrough four years of Trinity College without a change of clean socks for jocks?"

Frank never felt restricted by any­thing as foolish as a job description and therefore expanded his job as Athletic Equipment Manager into other areas. First, he was the Custodian of the T rin­ity Spirit perpetually encouraging both the mediocre and the talented athlete with that special Marchese charm and zeal. Also, as self-proclaimed verbal his­torian of Trinity athletics , he could tell stories of courage, sadness and humor fo r liours recounting the smallest detai l of decades past. Finally, Frank was the

guardian protecting "his athletes" from both emotional and physical distress whenever he deemed necessary. Nei­ther coach nor teammate were immune from Frank's wrath if he felt someone was being pushed too far or if h is sense of fairness neglected.

When he began, athletic equipment managers were merely supply sergeants for athletes. But Frank was to be a pi­oneer in h is field learning all about in­jury prevention, sports medicine and how they related to equ ipment design and fittin g. Despite a modest budget, his innovations and repairs were part Rube Goldberg, but with the loving care of surgeons' hands. Frank was one of the founders and first presidents of t he AEMA (Athletic Equipment Man­agers Association) a prestigious na­tional group from co lleges and professional teams. He was a leader in establishing regional educational pro­grams and demands for better manu­factured equipment. Engineers and companies sought his advice in the areas of design and production. In ad­dition to being a strong national voice in better equipment for athletes, he do­nated h undreds of hours working with youth groups in Connecticut so that they too would benefit from his exper-

tise. lt is somewhat sad that very few people at Trinity College fully under­stood the truly outstanding accom­plishments and legacy that this modest man quietly achi eved in his own field of scient ifi c pursuit .

There was som~thing special about Frank Marchese that drew so many close to him. We admired his work ethic and boundless energy and enthusiasm. He was optimistic and had that special joy fo r life and sense of humor that were radiant. Most of all, Frank was a sincere and genuine person to be ad­mired - prejudice, malice, deceit and envy were foreign to him. Everyone who knew Frank has a special anecdote or remembrance of him. Some remem­ber the loud opera music coming from his office, others remember Frank teaching them the secret of his famous softball fas t-pitch, and others were per­petually amazed at his almost ency­clopedic memory of faces and names (at a testimonial dinner for Frank in No­vember, 1983, he gave a speech and went around t he entire room individ­ually thank ing each of the more than 100 alumni present who covered a span of more than 30 years).

More than a loyal and dedicated em­ployee, Frank and his wife Fran were famil y to thousands of Trinity alumni. Frank's role as surrogate fat her hastes­timony in countless stories ofT rin ity men eating spaghetti dinner at the Marcheses ' or receiving unsolicited loans or gifts of money to pay for books or mea l tickets. Better than anyone, Frank understood what it meant to be part of the Trini ty Community - shar­ing, caring and helping through re­peated acts of kindness and generosi ty. In his fie ld of Sports Medicine and Athletic Equipment, he achieved a stature of legendary proportion that will never be matched; but, I believe, most importantly, to Frank would be that h is person al legacy lives on in the memories of the Trinity alumni of whom he was so proud. Frank Mar­chese is a large part of what made Trin­ity Col lege such a special place and time in our lives .

Quad Wranfles Reagan's Lemon Aid Stand

Disastrous. Preposterous. Unconscionable. These are some of the adjectives being bandied

about in the higher education community these days in response to the Reagan Administration's proposed budget that reflects a 25 percent reduction in federal funding for financial aid . In fact, the proposed cuts are so ridiculous, there is a real fear that they may pass by default because no one takes them seriously.

The effect of the proposals would be staggering. More than one million current aid recipients would become ineligible for Pel! Grants and campus-based aid programs; another 800,000 students would be dis­qualified from the Guaranteed Student Loan Pro­gram. More specifically, the Reagan proposals include the following:

• All students from families with incomes above $25,000 would be ineligible for federal grants, direct loans or work-study jobs.

• Students from low-income families could notre­ceive, earn or borrow more than $4,000 annually in federal aid.

• Those from families with adjusted gross incomes above $32,500 will no longer qualify for subsidized loans (GSL's) regardless of financial need.

• No funding is proposed for Supplemental Educa­tional Opportunity Grants, National Direct Student Loans, and State Student Incentive Grants.

Obviously, these changes, if instituted, would have a disproportionate impact on independent colleges like Trinity. Even more serious is the fact that the neediest students may lose access to higher education altogether because the $4,000 limit on total federal aid does not meet the expenses at many public institu­tions, let alone private ones.

One result of the aid cuts would be to force a large number of students from middle income families out of the independent sector and into public institutions. In a "worst-case" scenario this shift could drive some highly tuition-dependent, private institutions out of business. Meanwhile, the burgeoning public colleges and universities would be asking those same middle­class taxpayers to fund new facilities needed to deal with the influx of students who can no longer afford to go anywhere else. Those independent colleges and universities that survive will become enclaves of the very poor and very rich, mostly, the latter.

Trinity would be hard hit by the Reagan plan. Just to maintain our current aid program would require an additional $1 million from the College, two-thirds of this amount to replace Guaranteed Students Loans.

To raise this kind of money would require a self-de­feating tuition increase of considerable magnitude.

Based on early estimates, funding for the 186 Trin­ity students currently on Pel! Grants would be cut from $233,000 to $ 11 9,000; 45 students now receiving this aid would become ineligible. Federal NDSL funds would drop from $66,000 to zero.

The picture for Guaranteed Student Loans is equally grim. This year 535 students have borrowed $1 .2 million under GSL as part of their aid "pack­ages." Reagan's solution will make, 331 of these stu­dents ineligible, reducing the loan total to about $450,000. There is another group of 241 students who used GSL funding alone based on financial need. Of this group, fewer than 50 will retain their eligibility. The option Reagan offers these students is to borrow under the Parent Loan program at terms of 12 percent interest and immediate repayment. Many families sim­ply will not qualify for these loans.

The bottom line for Trinity is a financial aid budget of $4.2 million as opposed to the current $3.2 million. Multiply this aid gap by the number of higher educa­tion institutions in the U.S. and you get some notion of the magnitude of the problem.

It's not too late to reverse the Administration's plan, but to do so will require intense lobbying of Congress. Alumni, parents and students should con­tact their senators and representatives by phone or letter urging maximum support of the Pell Grants and campus-based aid progams. It should also be men­tioned that the arbitrary $32,500 income limit on GSLs is unfair because it ignores need considerations. Families with more than one child in college, for in­stance, are particularly hard-hit by the income cap provision. Letters to President Reagan are also in or­der, though of less import than those to congressional representatives who will appropriate the funds.

It is certainly worth reminding the President and his Republican colleagues that higher education is an in­vestment and not an expense. Even those mired in Reaganomics should be able to understand that col­lege graduates, by virtue of their predicted higher in­comes, will more than repay the federal assistance they have received by the additional taxes they can be expected to pay in the future.

If keeping a Trinity education in reach of those who aspire to one is important, let your senators and repre­sentatives know how you feel.

News of the death of THEODORE HUDSON "HUD" has reached the College (~ee In Memo-ry).

When he learned of the passing of his college mate, HERB EVISON '12 wrote a warm reminiscence of their friendship over the many years they were acquainted.

One of his first memories of "Hud" was as the fullback on the undefeated football team in 1911. He writes that "Hud's" prowess on the football field earned him mention on numerous All-America squads. In addition, he excelled in track where he was a discus-thrower, shot-putter and hur­dle-jumper.

"Evie" lost touch with "Hud" until1929 when he found him running his father-in­law's hardware store on Wisconsin Ave-

nue in Washington, D.C. They renewed their friendship and spent many happy hours remembering their years on the Hartford campus.

Their contact continued in the form of Christmas cards exchanged between their respective residences, when each had moved from the D.C. area.

! n a final tribute to his friend, Herb re­members him as "a gentle person, a sin­cere Christian, and a good friend." Class Agent: Edwin M. Bar ton

A letter recently received from LIPPY PHISTER expressed a desire that our 1918 Memorial Scholarship Fund might reach our goal of $100,000 on hand during the lifetime of our few remaining class mem­bers. He stated that he intended to change a testamentary bequest of $2500 to a gift in hand by Christmas. To his desire for attaining our $100,000 goal I say, "Amen," and it is a thought I have had in mind on numerous occasions since we turned the funds on hand to the College several years ago without any conditions. Several under­graduates have benefited from the class scholarship fund and I have several letters of appreciation to the Class.

If any readers of this column are so dis­posed, any contributions to our fund in honor or memory of any person will be greatly appreciated and we will have the satisfaction of knowing that members and friends of the Class of 1918 have made a lasting contribution to the College.

It will be a joy to see in the scholarship section of the College catalogue an item more or less like "1918 Memorial Scholar­ship Fund of $100,000 given by members and friends of the Class of 1918 for schol­arship purposes." This, together with the names of Trinity men who died in the ser­vice during World War I engraved on the wall at the entrance to the Chapel and given by the Class of 1918, are lasting re­minders of the Class which never attained a total of one hundred members.

A review of the annual report of contrib­utors to the 1983-84 Alumni Fund indi­cates that the Class participation has slipped badly since our good Class Agent, Louisa Pinney Barber, was forced to re­sign for reasons of health after she had fi ll ed in so ably for SYD. Their gentle fol­low-ups were very beneficial to the Fund. The 1983-84 report listed four donors out of ten members for a total of $3514 out of a class goal of $5612. Had we had a Class Agent from the Class I am confident the results would have been better. Please take note that as of April 1 your SECRETARY will contact the College and will be in touch with any Class member whose name is not on the list of donors at that time.

I'm still up and around, but the doctor won't let me drive a car or go anywhere. I

had to miss the whole football season last fall.

Be of good cheer .

Hey, you guys! Can you believe it? Fi­nally one of our classmates answered the request of director JERRY HANSEN '51 for news for the Reporter!

ROGER HARTT reports that one granddaughter graduated from Hope Col­lege last year and a grandson is now at­tend ing that school. Two grandsons are now at Dartmouth and one is at the Uni­versity of Iowa. From the picture I saw of a Har tt family get-together last year there must be at least one more to enroll at Trin . Col!. Sane. to follow in the footsteps of his granddad. Thanks, Rog, for taking a min­ute to write and l only can hope that others will do likewise.

Nice note from Ginny, STAN BELL's widow, that she is getting well adjusted to her new home in Seal Cove, ME and is happy to enjoy her first granddaughter .

BILL ORRICK kindly passes along in­formation about himself and his interest­ing careers. Bill has four children, two stepchildren and four grandsons - one, a two-year-old, and the other a sophomore at Princeton. Bill has traveled extensively for the Navy (aerial navigator for Admiral King) and for American Field Service.

He retired as headmaster of Solebury School in Maryland in 1968 and then be­came associated with American Field Service International, retiring as vice president in 1977. In 1980 he tackled an­other project for AFS as archivist. Along the way, Bill served on numerous commit­tees and boards, and the U.S. Department of State.

The job of Class Agent went begging for a few years, so we are grateful to BILL EVEN for taking on the job. Generous support of the Alumni Fund is greatly ap­preciated by Trinity. Class Agent: William F. Even

We note with pleasure that JOHN E. KELLY was voted in Trio's Basketball Hall of Fame this past fall. Ray Oosting recalls with pride that John captained a basketball team which came very close to having an undefeated season due in large part to John's team leadership on the floor and to his outstanding defensive ability . The only game lost was to Wesleyan when John was unable to play, but, in a return match in Middletown, Trin came out the winner.

Reunion Class · June 1985

Albert W. Baskerville 16 Osprey Rd. Niantic, CT 06357

Have you sent your "Yes" back to the Reunion Committee? It's not too early to solidify your plans for '35's 50th. You won't be disappointed! Your Committee is work­ing hard to provide a great Reunion. Don't let them down.

Now to the mundane past. Your SEC­RETARY managed to see three Trin games- Coast Guard, Amherst, and Wes­leyan- and marked up his 53rd Trin-Wes game. ,

At Homecoming saw, many friends, but only OLLIE JOHNSON and JACK ZIET­LOW from '35. Ollie, after a few sub-par years, looks great.

ORSON HART, in one of his regular missives, mentioned that he had seen the Trin-Wes game with a friend from Wes­leyan. Somehow I missed him among the throng.

Sad news and good news. BOB LA U died unexpectedly (see In Memory) . I had just written several weeks prior to receiving a letter from BILL WALKER tell ing me of the sad occurrence. Bob will be missed sore­ly at our 50th. Who can forget his strong and infectious laugh? Bill had just written me that Bob had been presented with a plaque from the VFW for his 35 years of distinguished service to the veterans of Mercer County.

Better news. LUKE KELLAM has had a t riple bypass but is already back at work running his company. You can't keep a good man down.

A letter from ERIC PURDON states that he is preparing an autobiographical record for our 50th. A pat on the back for Eric and Jet's help him out. Eric also men­tioned that during a fall vacation he stopped at Martha's Vineyard to see ED CRAIG '34, who summers there from his home in San Diego.

Another epistle from TERRY MOW­BRAY. Terry is in his 12th year of retire­ment and is enjoying it immensely, including his regular golf matches. Class Agent: Dr. Orson H. Hart

36 DOUG RANKIN writes from Vero

Beach, FL. He has been reappointed for the 14th year to the Town of Topsfield Conservation Commission (tree planning). Active in yachting since 1949, he has also

been past commodore of the Ipswich Bay Yacht Club and in 1984 he was elected to life membership.

JACK HANNA is moderator of Univer­sity Cable TV at the University of South­ern Maine in Portland. He still teaches English courses part time. He's working on a series of TV commentaries on "Sports and American culture - Dream and Nightmare."

PLAN AHEAD

Everyone needs a will. It's the way to plan for the eventual distri­bution of your property, to protect people you love and to help those institutions that are important to you.

If you don't have a will (or even if you do), you'll benefit from reading our booklet entitled "Giving Through Your Will." It an­swers such questions as: Who should prepare my will? Who should settle my estate? What is probate? Does a woman need a will?

It also discusses the advantages of wills and trusts, and highlights current tax law.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Just got back from California where I spent 12 days doing and seeing all the tourist things the state advertises. This included a round of

' golf at Pebble Beach which was real fun. I received a letter from DICK BAR­

TOES which not only reminisced about our days at college including our soccer team, but also brought me up-to-date on his new­est hobby which is marathon running, with his best time of 3 hours 17 minutes.

Although the weather here in northern California has been relatively mild, I al­ways get advance warning of winter's ar­rival from Syd and BOB BUFFUM. Although I've never had the pleasure of visiting their Manasota Beach Club in En­glewood, FL, I always get a kick out of the promotional piece they send along. It usu­ally has Bob and Syd in some outlandish costume and it somehow relates to the Beach Club. In the most recent one I re­ceived, they appear to be camping out on the golf course ... with the message, "We should have made our reservations ear­lier." From the trends in letters and notes that you are forwarding, perhaps they should convert some of their rooms to a

BOB WHITBREAD wrote a recent note in this vein. He penned it from the Office of the Vice President (George Bush) where he has been working since June of 1984.

Prior to working for the Vice President, Bob has put in many years working for the State Department, most recently in the office of Foreign Missions.

Bob notes the recent passing of several of our classmates, all of whom were close personal friends, and expresses an inter­est in the retirement plans of classmates. Now that their three children have left the nest, Bob and Harriett have been looking up and down the East Coast from Maine to Florida for a retirement spot. They hav­en't found a place yet, but are enjoying the looking. Bob closes with a comment that he'll be back for Reunion in '87 (our 35th) and is really looking forward to seeing classmates.

Happy 1985 to all our distinguished class members! The New Year brings the fol­lowing information from classmates!

JIM WIEGMAN writes from La Habra, CA, that his bags are packed for the 30th Reunion. He will definitely be the first one there. He is very proud of his two sons who entered the U.S. Army College Fund pro­gram, one of whom is in the 82nd Airborne and the other in the 101st Airborne. Both will be out of the service soon and attend­ing college, and he hopes that one of them will end up back East at good old "Trin. Col i. Sane." Jim also has a daughter who is a junior at Cal State, Fullerton. By the time you read this, Jim will have returned from over four weeks in Greece, Crete and Yugoslavia on business; and he doesn't even work for a travel agency.

YOURS TRULY, in one of his crazy moods, flew out to San Francisco recently to see the New York Giants and San Fran­cisco 49ers playoff game and had a great telephone conversation with RON LA BELLA. Ron gave his Italian promise that he "shall return" for the 30th. His daugh­ter is quite a golfer so Ron enjoys his new life as an older caddy; thankful for new lightweight clubs and golf bags.

NORM RICHARD knows what it is like to change jobs and pay more tuition at the same time. He writes that being the new vice president of Cadre, Inc., in North Avon helps him to pay his sons' tuitions; one in pre-med and the other in physical therapy. Norm's daughter is married and so it's one down and two to go for tuitions.

Our very own Class Agent, FRED TO­BIN. was the subject of a feature story in La Gazetta. the weekly Italian under­ground paper in Stamford. The article in­cluded pictures and layouts of Fred and his fa mily.

Fred was recently elected president of the Univer­sity of Connecticut Law School Alumni Association.

DAVE WILLIAMS writes from Read­ing. MA to tell us that he has recently joined the product technology section at Arthur D. Little, Inc. with primary re­sponsibility for developing new drug deliv­ery methods. I hope this doesn't include round trip tickets to Colombia, South America.

Word has it that our Central American sensation, FRED SILL, has moved to Rio de Janeiro, and is now controlling the en­tertainment field on the South American continent. No official word has come through to your Secretary with any change of add ress, etc. so, we hope if you are out there, Fred, you will send your new ad­dress.

DICK BEHR's new title at Penn Mutual is human resources consultant.

l have attempted to write to BILL STOUT and RUSS CLARK in New .Jer­sey, but the mail comes back marked "Moved - Left no Forwarding Address for Bill Collectors or Alumni Solicita­tions."

Welcome to 1985! I hope this year will be as productive and happy for everyone as the last ones obviously have been. As the year starts I have lots of news - old and new - so here it is.

In Chicago, ROB AHRENSDORF checks in again from Northwestern's Kel­logg School of Business. He reports that :1e's finishing up his master's in manage­ment and has seen MATT SMITH, who is a first year student in his program, and ELLIN CARPENTER (who, you all should remember, are now married). Ellin re­ports that she "plans to continue in the field of marketing." Also now finished his master's (in engineering). "JOE ADI­NOLFI and his wife, Judy, happily an­nounce the birth of their son" (see Births). Congrats, Joe!

Still on the school route, VICTORIA "TORI" ARONOW is a law student in At­lanta; RICH BERNSTEIN is still a med student at UConn in West Hartford and MIKE BROWN has just started his stud­ies for an M.B.A. at Boston University. Mike reports that he highly recommends Boston "for all Trin-Trin grads" - the move for him to Boston from Hartford was, in his words, "welcome!" SHARON DAY has also started a new career as a med student at Georgetown. Good luck, you may need it! To round out the school cir­cuit, we end back in Chicago at Northwest­ern, where KATHLEEN SHIELDS is "pursuing" her M.B.A. Sounds as if Trini­ty's next extension campus will be in Ev­anston, IL.

Trin grads are on the other side of the front desk- giving tests rather then tak­ing them. LORI ARDOLINO teaches at Holy Cross High School in Waterbury, while she lives in Hamden. Also still in Connecticut, BARB SELMO is an English teacher at the Canterbury School in New Milford. In her words, ones I'm sure a lot of us have said at one time or another, "It's the same old deal but at least I'm employed." Finally, H. TODD VAN AM­BURGH, who apparently is still teaching, reports his own problems - he nearly got fired when he directed Buchner's Woyzeck so he had to placate the administration with Beckett's Come and Go. Some day we'll have an '82er teaching an '82er -when that happens it'll be time for me to retire from the column!

The working world holds the rest of us busy. SUZANNE NIEMANN is currently employed by Equity Ventures, a real es­tate development and consulting firm in Hartford . She is also enrolled in Trinity's public policy master's program. DAVID BROWN checks in from Computech Cor­poration in Glastonbury where he is a data processing consultant. In nearby Hart­ford, you remember it don't you (?), ROB ROBLES has landed a position as execu­tive assistant to Mayor Thirman Milner. Traveling a few miles farther north, GLENN McLELLAN is an underwriter at Cigna in Bloomfield. Catching up on old news (but good news) with Glenn: he was married in June, 1983 and he and his wife, Patricia, became parents in August, 1984 (see Births). Also in insurance in the insur­ance capital, MINNIE MAHONEY is an

operations analyst with The Travelers. Minnie also mentions she is engaged and will be married in May. Congrats to you, Min! Rounding out the old-reliables in Con­necticut (of which I still consider myself one!), MINDY HAMMER is promotion producer at Connecticut Public Broadcast­ing and will marry ERIC GAYDOSH '81 in May (on the same day as Minnie Maho­ney's marriage- the 26th), and MARCIA HELIN is an underwriter at Cigna in the Hartford office.

As usual, Trin people are "in the money" in a number of different ways. ELLEN BROWN is at E.F. Hutton in the Big Ap­ple, as an associate in munibonds. (Sounds impressive, doesn't it!) Good for you, El· len. SCOTT CASSIE has transferred within National Westminster Bank to cover the Baltimore/Washington, D.C. area, though he'll still be working out of New York City. LISA "MARGOT" KEENE, though, probably has the most direct effect on the economy- she's sales manager at Filene's at the Burlington Mall in Burlington, MA!

Back in banking, CHRISTINA MAS­TERS is senior officer's assistant at First Pennsylvania Bank in Philadelphia. She's also joining the ranks of the married (and leaving the suddenly-thinning ranks of the single) soon, in June, 1985 (see Weddings). CLAUDIA PIPER checks in- she's now

I

a corporate lending officer at Chemical Bank. Lastly, still in the money "in the biggest way," PARSONS WITBECK is still raising money for Harvard. She says she loves it and even got a chance at Thanksgiving to play in the National Field Hockey Tournament on the North East Regional Team. Awesome!

PETER MARTIN is still with Procter and Gamble, now as a unit sales manager in Cranford, NJ. Also down that way, CRAIG VOUGHT is a "student" at the Wharton School. (I hope you don't mind that I left you out of the "school" section, Craig; I figured Peter needed some com­pany there in New Jersey.) CAROL PAS­SARELLI has just started a new job as a client service representative at The Wright Company in Cambridge, MA. JOA N SHRIVER, living in Hartford and getting her M.B.A. at Hartford Graduate Center, is a sales engineer at United Technology in Springfield, MA. She lives in Hartford with KHOOSHE ADIB-SAMII.

The more eclectic group I saved for last this time - I have to keep you all reading, don't I? Congressman E.T. Coleman has himself a press secretary in our Nation's Capital - ROBIN EHRLICH. Spreading the "good word" in another way, JENNI­FER BROWN is an environmental educa­tor at the Chewonki Foundation in Wiscasset, ME. Upholding the "good

word," PETER PHILLIPS (corporal, U.S. Marines in Santa Ana, CA) and PHIL PROPPER (U.S. Air Force Phantom F-4 Program in Korea) are "holding down the fort" as it were. Thanks guys! Holding down his own fort, ANDREW FOX re­ports he bought a house with his wife in Omaha, NE . Speaking from experience, winter in the Midwest may be a worse on­slaught than anyone could throw at us on any battlefield!

CARMEN LESLIE writes from New York City where she attends Columbia University and is an assistant at Lynch and Mayer - she reports she is studying ballet at the New York Academy of Ballet. Also in the art world, DAN SCHLENOFF is at Sotheby's in New York - in the Eu­ropean works of art department. Of course, there's always ERIC MENDOZA­WOODS, PAUL SCOLA and BILL TAL­BOT - this time they have formed an in­formation service to answer this world's pressing questions; this month's topic ap­parently is "Cabbage: The forgotten Veg­etable!" Bill seems to have the best tall tale this time - he claims he's studying the effect of loose change on the M1 money supply figures and proposes to include in that government calculation the money that falls behind car seats.

Finally, SARAH PAUL writes that she is a social worker at the Astor Home for Children in Millerton, NY. She works with families who have child abuse and neglect problems in this low-income rural area. That's about the best news I've heard all day - keep up the good work .

Your REPORTER remains a Jaw stu­dent at the University of Chicago- which means too much studying and not enough heat! I hope to see everyone in Hartford when I return this summer. Meanwhile, keep those cards and letters coming. P.S. POLLY LAVERY, where nre you? Class Agents: Patricia Hooper

Well, that's a tough act to follow . I am inspired, as my adventures at prep school dull by comparison. We have something to look forward to, I guess ... but will we have the stamina? Best of luck to all of you in 1985. I hope to hear soon from anyone. Incidentally, where is DAVE WARREN? What happened to JOHN ZIEDONIS? Has anyone seen ROBIN LEVINE? Please write if you know the locations of any pres­ently "lost" classmates! Tune in next quarter, same magazine, same column for more adventures with the Class of '83. P.S.
