William G. Mather, '77, Senior Trustee, Dies William Gwinn Mather, senior

member of the Board of Trustees, donor of the College Chapel and prominent Cleveland industrialist, churchman and philanthropist, died at his home in Bratenahl on April 5 after a short illness. Known in his community as Cleveland's first citi­zen, Mr. Mather's interests extended far beyond the development of the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company of which he was President and Chair­man of the Board for fifty-seven years. Blessed with a spirit of humility and understanding, filled with gentleness and tact, Mr. Mather became not only one of the country's influential steel pio­neers but also a leader in civic, charitable, educational and religious work in his home city.

William Gwinn Mather was born on September 22, 1857, the son of Samuel Livingston Mather and Elizabeth Lucy Gwinn Mather. He was a direct descendant of Richard Mather who arrived in America in 1635 at Dorchester, MassachusettS. His grandson, Richard, moved to Lyme, Connecticut, and the family continued to live there for four generations. Mr. Mather's grand­father, Samuel, settled at Middle­town, Connecticut, and married Katherine Livingston of Stillwater, New York. Their son, Samuel Livingston, left Middletown in 1843 to dispose of the family's holdings in Western Reserve Lands. He became interested in the iron discoveries in Michigan and settled in Cleveland where he formed the Cleveland Iron Mining Company.

Samuel Mather sent his son William to Cheshire Academy, Cheshire, Connecticut, to prepare for college. He entered Trinity in 1873, the College's fiftieth year. The campus was then located on the present state capitol grounds and the late Abner Jackson was Presi­dent. As a freshman Mr. Mather won honors in Greek and in Latin while in his senior year he was awarded the Jackson Philosophical Prize and was chosen Class Day orator. He was a member of the Beta Beta Fraternity, now the Beta Beta Chapter of Psi Upsilon.

After his graduation in 1877, Mr. Mather traveled in Europe for a year before joining his father 's firm as a clerk at $100 a month. In 1885 he was advanced to Vice-President and five years later became Presi­dent of the Company on the death of his father. The Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company merged with the Cleveland Iron Mining Company in 1891 and Mr. Mather was elected President of the new corporation. He added many new iron ore de­posits to the company's holdings as well as developing charcoal blast furnaces , hydroelectric power plants, paper mills, timber lands and freighters on the Great Lakes.

Mr. Mather was deeply interested in the welfare of his employees and he put much stress in making the mines safe. Pensions were estab­lished early. Visiting nurses were assigned to care for the miners' families. Homes were built to sell at cost. It is interesting to note that in the forty-two years of his presi­dency the company had no strikes.

In the summer of 1933, Mr. Mather resigned as President in order to have more leisure time for travel. As Chairman of the Board, he continued to exert a guiding in­fluence in the company's affairs, and appeared at his office regularly.

The building of the Lake Su­perior & Ishpeming Railroad was undertaken with Mr. Mather's supervision and he was chairman of its board for many years. He was also a director of the Republic Steel Corporation, the Corrigan-Mc­Kinney Steel Company, the Kelley Island Lime and Transport Com­pany, the White Motor Company, the Medusa Portland Cement Com­pany, the Central Alloy Steel Com­pany, the Otis Steel Company, and the Trumbull Steel Company.

In 1896, Mr. Mather helped or­ganize the American Trust Com­pany, later the Citizens Savings & Trust Company, and the Union Trust Company, predecessors of the Union Bank of Commerce. He was the first full-term president of the Cleveland Bourse.

A trustee of the Lakeside Hospi­tal and of University Hospitals, Mr.

Mather took an active part in many of Cleveland's charitable drives. Until recent years he headed the Industrial Division in the Commu­nity Fund campaigns, and daily at­tended the report luncheons. He was a trustee of the Cleveland Mu­sical Arts Association and a gen­erous contributor to the Cleveland Metropolitan Opera seasons and to the Cleveland Orchestra concerts. He was named a trustee of the Cleveland Museum of Art in 1919 and was eleaed its president in 1936. For his distinguished public service and particularly for his leadership in the movement to group Cleveland 's public buildings around a central mall Mr. Mather was awarded the Chamber of Com­merce Medal.

In 1946, Mr. Mather was co­chairman of the Cleveland Sesqui­centennial Committee, and later that year he was publicly honored at a dinner for his civic benefac­tions.

All his life Mr. Mather devoted time and thought to the church and its work. He placed the church first in philanthropy. "It constitutes the greatest stabilizing force in our na­tional life, the value of which can­not be measured, for the good of all people," he said. "Unless the church comes first the most important work in all the world will suffer." Two years ago Mr. Mather was awarded the Bishop Chase medal for distinguished service to the Episcopal Church. At his death Mr. Mather was Treasurer, a member of the Standing Committee and Trustee of the Diocese of Ohio, and Senior W arden of Trinity Cathedral. He had been the Cathedral's Treasurer for many years.

Ever since Mr. Mather was elected to the College's Board of Trustees in 1909 he closely fol­lowed college affairs having a spe­cial interest in the Library and the classical humanities. Generations of Trinity men will remember Mr. Mather for the beautiful Gothic Chapel which he presented to the College in memory of his mother. Ground was broken for the build-

Governor Lodge and Bishop Hatch to Address 125th Commencement

The One Hundred Twenty-fifth Commencement Weekend will be­gin Friday evening, June 15, at six o'clock with a clamb:1ke on Trinity Field according to Robert S. Morris, '16, Reunion Ch1irman. La~t year's bake was such a success 1hat the Kendall Catering Company of Fitchburg, Mass. , has been en­gaged again . The clambake will_ be followed by an informal gathenng ~ nd a group sing under the direc­tion of J. Lawrence Coulter, As­sistant Professor of Music. During the evening the fraternities will hold their annual business meet­ings and Open House afterwards.

Governor John Lodge will de­liver the Commencement address in front of Northam Towers Sun­day afternoon and the Rt. Rev. Robert M. Hatch, Suffragan Bishop of Connecticut, will preach the Baccalaureate Sermon at the Open Air service in the morning. The Baccalaureate service will be broad­ca t at 11:05 by Station WDRC ( 1360 k.c.) The Governor's Foot Guard Band will play at both services.

The Senior Class D ay exercises will start at 10:00 a.m. on Satur­day morning in front of Northam with Bill Van Lanen, President of the Class, in charge of the pro­gram. Major John B. Folan will award Air Science certificates to ~eniors who have completed their work in the department and these men will be commissioned as Air Force Second Lieutenants.

Hugh Campbell, '32, will pre­side at the Annual Alumni Meet­ing at noon in front of Northam. He will outline the work of the Alumni Executive Committee dur­ing the year. The election of Alum­ni Trustee a:-d Senior Fellows will be announced as well as the recipi­ent of the Eigenbrodt Trophy. President Funston will report on the State of the College.

The cornerstone of the New Li­brary will be dedicated Saturday at one o'clock by President Funston, and the campus gates given by

wme alumni will be dedicated during the weekend.

The Alumni Luncheon will be held in the Feld House at 1: 30 p.m. The Reunion Committee con­sisting of Bob Morris, '16; George Lepak, '37; Winthrop Segur, '27; Ken Sruer, '26; Sid Whipple, '20; Francis Manion, '36; Cully Roberrs, '41, and Bill Peelle, '44, have de­cided to keep the luncheon pro­gram strictly informal. The oldest alumnus and the alumnus returning from the greatest distance will re­ceive prizes while the Reunion Class with the largest percentage of men returning will receive the Jerome Kohn Class Award.

Martin W . Clement, represent­ing the half-century Class of 1901, will lead the Alumni Parade to Trinity Field where the H illtoppers will play Ya!e at three o'clock.

President and Mrs. Funston will be at home on 115 Vernon Street to all alumni from five ro six, and the class reunion dinners are scheduled for seven o'clock with the Classes of 1896, 1901, 1906, 1911, 1916, 1921, 1926, 1931, 1941, and 1946 having regular re­unions. Other alumni will meet at the Class of 1823 Dinner at the Heublein Hotel.

Several of the Reunion classes are already hard at work on their plans, and it is rumored that 1926's biography is going ro be a master­ful production. The enthusiasm shown so far should make the 125th Commencement one of the most pleasant ever held 'Neath the Elms.

Gov ernment Dept. Holds Conference

The Government Department held the College's first Conference on Public Service Training on April 14 with City Manager Carleton F. Sharpe giving the principal talk. Mr. Sharpe stressed the need in public service for college men and criticized the false impressions which many people get of men in public service.

Professor Barber of the Govern­ment Department planned the Con­ference which was made possible by the recent Mead bequest, to as­~ess the training for public service which Trinity may properly offer and tO encourage students ro con­sider public service as a vocation or avocation. After the opening gen­~ral ~ession , the conference split mro SlX round tables on Public Ad­mlmstration; Politics; Part-Time Civic Service; Public Service and the Law; Public Service and the Teacher and Public Service for the Specialist.

Dr. Adams Retires After 45 Years Service When Arthur Adams came co

Trinity College in 1906 he was a serious-looking yourh who had graduated at Rutgers, obtained his Fh.D. at Yale with a thesis on "Syntax of the Temporal Clause in O!d English Pro~e," and for a year had been instructOr in English at the University of Colorado. Here at Trinity he came under the in­fluence of Samuel Hart (one of the most impressive men who have ever been on our faculty) , became an Episcopalian, and in 1910 re­ceived a Bachelor of Divinity de­gree from Berkeley Divinity School, then conveniently in MiddletOwn. Later the Philadelphia Divinity School made him a Master of Sacred Theology. Thus began Dr. Adams' remarkable diversification.

"One man in his time plays many parts," said Jaques, in the Forest of Arden. In Trinity College, before the end of the First World War Arthur Adams was Full Pro­fessor Adams and Head of the Department of English, Librarian Adams (at the special request of the College rather than from his own desire), Registrar Adams, and the Reverend Arthur Adams, Col­lege Chaplain. To find a parallel one must go back tO Gilbert and Sullivan's Pooh-Bah, who it will be remembered served the Mikado "as First Lord of the Treasury, Lord Chief Justice, Commander-in-Chief, Lord High Admiral, Master of the Buckhounds, Groom of the Back Stairs, Archbishop of Titipu, and Lord Mayor, both acting and e!ect, rolled into one." In his spare rime Dr. Adams wrote learned articles, collaborated on the Gray and Wordsworth concordances, and be­came a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. He also began to join things, including the Century and the Lotus Clubs of New York, and St. Borolph's in Boston.

Some sedentary soul might have been satisfied with such a modicum of labors, bur evidently Dr. Adams merely exclaimed, "Fie on this quiet life. I want work." So he en­gaged in one of the most compli­cated of all forms of human ac­tivity, and mastered it tO such an ex-

tent that today he is recognized as being one of the leading genealo­gists in the country. In the process he found himself to be a Son of the Revolution, a Son of the Ameri­can Revolution, and one of the Sons of Veterans, although at the same rime he is one of the Ameri­cans of Royal Descent. He is a Founder and Patriot, a Huguenot, a Founder of Hartford, an Anti­quary, and an honorary member of the Cincinnati. Perhaps the society closest tO his heart is the Colonial Wars in which he has been Regis­trar General for over thirty years.

He belongs to the Mediaeval Academy of America, to the august Order of Armorial Ancestry, and tO the humbler-sounding Order of the Acorn: also ro American, Con­necticut, Long Island, and New Jersey Historical societies. For the past two years he has been Editor of the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, and his membership in this famous Boston Society goes back ro 1905. Narurally

ARCHIE ROY BANGS 1886-1951

Professor Bangs, member of the Faculty for twenty-five years and bead of the German Department, died suddenly at his home in West Hartford on April 30.

he is a member of any number of learned genealogical and library associations. One imagines that his ancesror, the Jeremy Adams who owned the tavern down on Main Street whence the Connecticut Charter was successfully and fa­mously snatched, would not be dis­satisfied with his present descendant.

The above incomplete and frag­mentary list of Dr. Adams' mem­berships has included no mention of thP fact that he is a natural-born secretary of societies. One of his many secretaryships is that of the Watkinson Library, and ever since 1918 he has been Secretary of the Trinity Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, and consequently for a third of a cemury its organizing center. Dr. Adams would be the ideal historian of Trinity College.

Of late years he regretfully has done little teaching; on the other hand, it is rumored that the floors of 73 Vernon Street have had to be shored up ro prevent their collapse under the incoming tide of his books. For several decades his ex­perience has enabled him tO serve the Faculty as its personified mem­ory of past actions and discussions. As Librarian, the capacity in which during recent years he has been best known on the campus, Dr. Adams has seen ro it that the cholarly interests of the College

were served insofar as severely lim­ired funds permitted. Every one of his annual reports as Librarian for the last score of years has reiterated his earnest ple~ for an entirely new library buildi~g; and it is good to know that now, while he is still the Librarian, his long-continued and almost visionary desire is in process of realization: the new library build­ing is under construction.

The better Arthur Adams is known, the more he is liked: that is the estimation of him repeatedly made by his colleagues on the Faculty; and evidently his many outside colleagues feel the same. Among the names of the scores of organizations in which he is a mem­ber, one imagines the title most congenial ro him would be that of Hartford's Get Together Club.

History at Trinity College During the past year, the Faculty

of Trinity College authorized im­portant changes in the require­ments for the history major. More than a year ago, the department established the policy of prescribing three basic courses for all majors and allowing two electives in his­tory to complete the minimum five courses. The department has de­fined the three basic fields as Euro­pean, ancient, and American his­tory. More recently the department received permission to require all majors tO take a half-year seminar and to restrict the elective area pro­portionately.

In its recommendations, the History Department at Trin­ity has attempted to avoid the narrow and traditional limitations of its subject by adjusting its re­quirements tO a broader definition of history. It would like to suggest, both by its specific requirements and by the studied absence of fixed allied requirements, that history is the story of man and is therefore by definition the most interdepart­mental of all academic disciplines.

There are indeed facile argu­ments in favor of requiring the ele­mentary course and any four courses on the advanced level; there is an aura of academic respectability ema­nating from a system which allows advanced electives. On the other hand, the problem of histOrical knowledge is such that a history department must avoid the pot­pourri, however advanced, which can result from the study of un­related courses preceded by high catalogue numbers. A system per­mitting unrestricted elecrives de­fines history badly. We believe that the schedule of courses prescribed should itself be a contribution to the definition of history. The college proposes a definition of the liberal arts in its bachelor of arts require­ments. The history department like­wise believes that it should provide the student with an orderly table of contents and nor with a truncated index of encyclopedic fact.

Again, there are several plausible arguments in favor of requiring a number of courses at varying de-

grees of intensity, a method that can be pursued with success in ~everal liberal arts subjects. The historical discipline is often con­sidered best taught if it starts with the history of Europe, proceeds in the second year to the history of a specific country and ends up in one century or a recherche corner of it. If one adds tO this process of de­limitation a few allied requirements in economics or government, the total can be called the history major. Actually such a conception of the major satisfies only the most super­fici al and outmoded definition of history as past politics or, in the Marxist view, past economics and past sociology. And it suggests, by its emphasis on intensity and chronological limitation, a less ten­able definition of history as a social science technique.

The historian should be con­stant:y defining his subject by ab­sorbing the material of other sub­jeers and working it into his de­velopmental account of man. A novel, a play, a painting, a religious movement, as well as an election or a new industrial invention, must be the raw materials of the histori­an's generalizations. His scrutiny must nor be turned, by his aca­demic training, upon the economic and political alone. The Marxist view, which oddly enough enjoys irs greatest vogue among thinkers who imagine themselves to be its greatest detractors, rakes up the study of man as classes, races, na­tions and puts men into man-power poo:s, income brackets, and other anpersonal categories which pro­vide the intellectual. impetus for a low view of mankind generally. The story of man, "a free and tragic being" in Toynbee's phrase, eludes the prosaic techniques of any one of the social sciences.

We do an equal disservice tO our srudents if we turn their scrutiny upon one or two periods alone with the reassuring bur specious claim th:lt histOry repeats itself and that .he intensive can become the ex­tensive by the application of the

roper intellectual gymnastics. Trinity students, and indeed all

6

students, have various and sundry reasons for electing history. Many specialize in history as a fattte de miet-tx; some concentrate on hisrory courses to prepare for the law and kindred fields that have tradition­ally regarded the discipline as a good background. Another and smaller group of students enter the graduate schools for advanced work in order to reach history.

On the surface these differences in aim suggest the need for rwo kinds of requirement. Actually sud1 a dichotomy is both unnecessary and dangerous. The history curriculum, if it is to possess any academic va­lidity, requires a common body of knowledge for all irs students. The young man who does nor plan ro pursue the formal study of hisrory after graduation must obtain a good background for the reading and thinking and continuous self-educa­tion which must always be one of the aims of college training gen­erally. Our major requirements are designed to encourage that end.

The young man who plans ro enter graduate school must be pre­pared for graduate work. But that does nor mean, as is often sug­gested, that he should be given a head starr in graduate work. Indeed, over-specialization on the under­graduate level often places the po­tential historian in a paradoxical position : he will probably be turned down by the graduate school. Grad­uate schools rely heavily upon the results of the graduate record ex­aminatioo~ when they sift candi­dates. Standards in colleges vary so widely that graduate departments, defenseless against enthusiastic recommendations and meaningless grading systems, must depend more and more upon the objective find­ings of the record tests. Under­graduate history courses must meet the standards of those examinations. Only a wide knowledge of history can hasten rhe careless generali­zations which destroy irs validity. And only a wide knowledge of history will enable the student to evaluate intelligently the impor­tance of the special field he elects as his graduate preoccupation.

After taking the specifically re­quired courses in general European, ancient, and American history the Trinity student must then take at least one and one-half courses from the more specialized offerings of the department. These courses range chronologically from the his­tory of Greece tO modern diploma­cy. The new required half-course is a seminar of several sections, limited to six or seven students each, which will be given next fall for the first rime by Professors Thompson and Cooper. The semi­nar will deal with the materials of history and will have as irs aim the writing of a term essay. It will be designed to acquaint the student with the historian's craft at first hand and will analyse the work of some of the great masters of his­torical writing.

Our European history require­ment needs no special explanation or advocacy. Irs role as preparation for all subsequent work in rhe de­partment is plain; it is a require­ment for the bachelor of arts de­gree in the college as well. The in­troductory course concerns itself with the history of European civi­lization from the fall of Rome to the present. In this respect the de­partment pleads orthodoxy since it has resisted a national movement ro make the first course rhe history of the whole world. The arguments advanced for a course reaching everything from Buddha to Mahatma Gandhi and Diego Rivera have often been plausible; "one world" and other popular concepts have made amateurs impatient with what they call European parochi­alism. On the other hand, "civiliza­tion" courses more often represent rhe fusion, at the expense of both ingredients, of ancient history and modern world- history and have created a superficialiry more de­structive than the narrower concep­tion they pretend to supplant. They perforce present more material in less rime over a wider area to stu­dents often less well-prepared.

Our requirement that United Stares history be studied by all ma­jors is in line with standard prac­tice in most American universities. 86.5 % of rhe institutions reporting to the Office of Education in the

Library Construction

Federal Security Agency in Decem­ber showed that American history was a requirement for the degree with the history major. It has fre­quently been argued notwithstand­ing, that the student entering col­lege has been exposed already to American history on so many levels that a collegiate course requirement is superfluous. Actually American history studies on the lower-school levels have undergone so much ex­perimentation, often in the di­rection of problems in democracy, civics, and audio-visual approaches to Valley Forge, that an old­fashioned preparation in United States history cannot be confidently assumed. The student who plans to study the past must include rhe past of his own sociery. There are, among other things, tremendous in­tellectual advantages to be gained from an investigation of the past of things already functionally fa­miliar.

American history at Triniry is arbitrarily given a catalogue num­ber which opens it ro students in the sophomore class and above. Until recently the course was open ro juniors and seniors only. Irs or­ganization and treatment are there­fore nor geared to the elementary level. Grear emphasis is placed upon the use of documents to acquaint the student with the raw materials from which hisrory is reconstructed. The use of rhe document is wide­spread in all Triniry history courses, including the freshman course, and it provides more experience with

7

rhe processes of history than the general rides of the courses infer.

The ancient hisrory requirement is designed ro prepare the student in a field neglected in many col­leges. The intellectual reasons for the study of the ancient pasr are overwhelming; the subject impedes the facile generalizations which a specialized acquaintance with recent society makes so tempting.

Trinity College is happily not a universiry and the number of our majors and the size of our classes is small enough ro allow personal comacr between students and in­structors. These conditions have enabled rhe department to indulge in rhe luxury of being ambiguous, in rhe catalogue, concerning the al­lied courses recommended ro irs majors. The student's special in­terests and aims, after he has studied a common body of knowledge, will determine his ancillary courses. Fortunately rhe general arts require­ments supplement the history major very well. Advice thereafter is based on an assessmem of the student's particular intellectual needs. Poten­tial graduate students are advised ro complete their preparation for rhe reading rests in German and French required by most of the great universities. A budding medi­evalist should be advised to rake more work in fine arts, the history of philosophy, religion, and Larin. The hisrorian of modern Europe should find places in his schedule for courses in comparative govern­ment, economics, world literature, and political theory. The student of British history should concen­trate heavily <2n English literature. Psychology has overwhelming claims upon the historian. The im­portance of geography in historical studies is obvious.

The department at Triniry has tried, accordingly, ro meet the diffi­cult problem of major requirements by a broad approach to rbe defini­tion of history itself. On rhe under­graduate level the official require­ments cannot aim at the acquisition of encyclopedic knowledge in in­creasingly limited fields. Therein lies an opportunity for the private virtuosiry of the studem.

Fred Vogel and Charlie W rinn Spark Five Game Baseball Win Streak

Sophomore Charlie W rinn may soon make the Hillrop fans forget the loss of Jack Scully as he turned back Coast Guard 6-2 allowing only two hits and striking out fifteen in his first varsity start. Charlie also played the hero against West Point by relieving Fred Vogel in the eighth inning to protect and hold Trin's 3-2 lead. These two victories equalized the two losses in Wash­ingtOn, D. C., against George W ashingron and Georgerown on the southern trip during Easter vacation.

With strong armed Fred Pro ready to back up Vogel and Wrinn as a starting pitcher, Dan Jessee expects tO have another good sea­son. Bob O'Brien is capably handling the catching duties and last year's infield of Captain Eddie Ludorf at third, Bill Goralski at short, Bernie Lawlor at second and Dave Smith at first are back. Letter­men Bob Drew-Bear and Tom

Naud are in the outfield and sopho­mores Hum DelMastro, Dick Gagne and Fred Parsons are the leading contenders for the other outfield position.

Dan is also counting on lefty Jack Burton, last year's freshman star, for some well pitched games. Unfortunately Jack had an emer­gency appendix operation early in March which has prevented him from playing.

It looks as if Bill Goralski will retain his team hitting honors again. He led the offense against West Point with three singles and is also fielding well. Captain Ed Ludorf has started the season well and his timely single in the ninth inning of the Coast Guard game scored two runs and broke up the game.

Late scores: Trinity 7 Norwich 1; Trinity 13 Bates 7; Trinity 5 Holy Cross 4; Trinity 1 Univ. of Mass 7; Trinity 15 Columbia 16; Trinity 0 Springfield 4; Trinity 4 Coast Guard 1.

Bob Jachens, IC4A High Jump Champion, Set for Another Successful Track Season

With fifteen lettermen, including IC4A and New England high jump champion Bob Jachens, Coach Stu Parks looks forward to a good sea­son. Stu is counting on several of the sophomores to give the team depth and balance and figures the Hilltoppers will be very strong in the high jump, hurdles, discus and javelin.

"Lucky" Ransom, son of Rollin Ransom, '21, is again Captain and will be a steady point winner in the hurdles although sophomore Chuck Purdy of Minneapolis has shown steady improvement and already flircs with the College records in both the high and low hurdles. Last spring he set a new freshman record of 15: 9 in the highs.

Jachens had no opportunity to

practice indoors because of the in­vitation tournament basketball play­offs, but he is rapidly returning to his 1950 form and will be a hard man tO top in his high jump spe­cialty.

Dick Garrison, Al Rondeau, Newt Leo and Mike Daly are the returning lettermen in the dashes and they will get support from sophomore dash men Ed Blackler, Harold Wynkoop, Ray Parrott and Dave Lee. Parrott set a new fresh­man record of 10:2 in the 100 yard dash last year. Other veteran lettermen are Ben Wilmot, Dick Norris and Bill Brown in the dis­tances and Don MacKelvie, Macey Katz, Ed Kulas, Bob Hunter and Bill McKean in the weights. Chuck McElwee will do well in the broad jump.

Swimmers Tie Brown in New Englands

A tie for first place in the New England Intercollegiates, and a season's record of seven wins against two defeats, gave the swimmers their most successful year since Trowbridge Memorial opened in 1929. New college records were set in the 300 yard medley and 400 yard freestyle relays, the 200 yard back stroke; the dives and the 200 yard breast stroke while the 100 yard free style record was tied. To co-captains Fred Kirschner and Tim Cutting, to Coach Joe Clarke and to the entire squad go well de­served plaudits for such an out­standing performance. Incidentally the team presented Joe with a beautiful silver tray as a taken of their appreciation for his tireless coaching.

The regular season closed with successive dual meet victories over Worcester Tech, 59-15; Boston University, 53-21; Hamilton, 51-24; Wesleyan, 54-21; and Coast Guard, 54-20. The team then set its sights on the New Englands with the particular point of up­setting Bowdoin and Amherst who both had scored earlier dual meet victories over the Hilltoppers. Only a couch finish by Brown in the final 400 yard relay permitted the de­fending Bruins to gain a tie with the Blue and Gold as both teams tallied 48 points.

Slim Ted Ward, who only tips the beam at 130 pounds, was Trin's mainstay in the New Englands as he anchored the winning 300 yard medley; wok second in the 100 yard freestyle in which he was timed in :53.3 equalling Dave Tyler's 1941 college record; and anchored the 400 yard freestyle relay. Ray Par­rott also had a busy afternoon as he just missed winning the 200 yard breaststroke, was on the vic­tOrious medley relay, and finished sixth in the individual medley. Jim Huck scored a fifth place in the dives; Walt Toole placed second in the 50 yard dash; and Jim Gram came in fourth in the 200 yard backstroke. Toole, Tony Mason and Tim Cutting were the other mem­bers of the 400 yard relay while Jim Grant led off for the 300 yard

medley relay. Needless ro say vet­eran Coach Joe Clarke was tossed into the middle of the Storrs pool when the team learned the final score.

"Tony" Mason, speedy sprinter from Washington, D.C., has been elected Captain for next season, and if the military does not interfere another good season is in sight as only co-captains Kirschner and Cut­ting and Dave Edwards are ro be graduated. Dave will be a hard man ro replace as he made tremendous improvement in the distances and was awarded the John E. Slowik Award as the team's outstanding swimmer.

The freshman team had a dis­appointing season losing all its meets, bur Bill Godfrey, Roland Price, Jerry Anthony and Mike MacKedon all should develop and score some points next winter.

Burbank Wins Third Squash Trophy

John Burbank, '5 1, retained the Newron C. Brainard College Squash Racquets trophy for the third suc­cessive year. He mer Dick Stewart, '53, in the finals which were closely contested, but Burbank's experi­ence told the story. Incidentally John won th@ Hartford Golf Club squash championship.

The team's only victory was over M. I. T., but it must be remembered that in Harvard, Yale, Army and Williams the competition is the best in the East. Against N avy, Amherst and Wesleyan there were many very close matches.

Fencers Take Four The informal fencing team, under

the able direction of Ed Brennan, '51, and Dick Ellison, '52, defeated Amherst, Clark University, Bosron University and Hopkins Grammar. The fencers lost to Stevens Tech and Wesleyan, the latter march go­ing to the Cardinals by one point, 14-13. The epee team of Brennan, Jerry Lehrfeld and Ike Newell were undefeated in the six matches.

Brennan, Ellison and Dick Lewis entered the National lntercollegi­ates at the University of Illinois and finished 27th out of 37 col­leges.

Fifteen Wins Boost Oosting Cagers to N. E. Invitation Tournament Finals

The speedy 1951 basketball team, boasting a new College record of 1504 points for an average of 71.6 per game, concluded the regular season with a record of thirteen vicrories against five defeats.

The Hillroppers then were se­lected ro play in the first New England Intercollegiate Invitation tOurnament and almost knocked off favored Boston College in the finals at the Tufts College's Cousens gym. With the score tied at 66 all and only ten seconds ro play Charlie Wrinn attempted one of his hook shots, but the ball rimmed the hoop and the game went into overtime. Boston College's Fran Duggan ran wild in the extra session scoring nine of the Eagles' sixteen points ro sink the Hilltoppers 82-72.

The most exciting contest of the entire rournament was Trin's 87-86 victory over favored Rhode Island State. The teams were tied 22 times and the lead changed hands on 18 occasions before Wally No­vak fired two baskets and a pair of free throws in the final minute to edge our the racing Rams. Cap-

rain Bob Jachens and Charlie Wrinn with 20 and 18 points respectively led the Hilltoppers' attack, bur re­ceived viral support from Dave Smith, Moon Curtin and Bill Goral­ski. The combined total score of 173 points surpasses the old mark of 161 established against both Middlebury and Yale this year.

The following evening the ream staved off a last minute rush of Tufts ro nose our the Jumbos 76-71 and gain the rournament finals. Again Bob Jachens and Charlie Wrinn led the attack ably backed by Dave Smith and Bruno Chisto­lini. The Hillropper foul shooting was excellent with 16 out of 21 throws converted.

In the last six games of the regu­lar season the team defeated Middlebury, 89-72; Tufts, 75-70; Wesleyan for the second rime, 74-60; Union, 73-60; and Coast Guard, 83-71, while losing ro Yale 86-75. Charlie Wrinn, sharp-shooting sophomore, scored 304 points dur­ing the season ro edge out his class­mare Wally Novak by eleven points. Charlie ranked second in the coun­try among the ~mall college reams in securing rebounds with an aver­age of 19.5 per game. Captain Bob Jachens, a brilliant defensive player, made 247 points while Bruno Chisrolini, despite an injured ankle, ~cored 244. Hustling Dave Smith improved steadily as the season progressed and tallied 170 points. His mates have elected him Cap­tain for ~xl""S€ason.

Coach Ray Oosting will miss Bob Jachens and Moon Currin next year. Bob has been an inspired leader throughout the season and rose to his greatest heights during the In­vitation Tournament play. He was awarded the most valuable player award. Currin was a most capable substitute and on those evenings when his hook shot clicked be­came a most difficult man to srop. In the second Wesleyan game, with Chisrolini sidelined because of in­juries, Moon came through with his best performance of the season and was the big factor in this im­portant victory.
