It is, therefore, proper in a representation of the state which is the home of this institution to concentrate on the happenings which demonstrate this development. At the beginning it was the individuals and the places that they went that cap- ture our attention. The discovery' brousht about by various motives: new wealth, love of exploring, ideolagies, spiritual peace, ete. Different motives have importance for different people. It is the story of mien and women what they looked like, why they came, and what this part of the world looked like. Giovanni da Verrazzano, seeking a westward passage to China and India, landed on the coast of North America about March 20, 1524. His numerous ex- plorations along the North Atlantic coast brought him on April 21 to Narragansett Bay. The extended account of his observations and reactions to Rhode Island are tecorded in a letter tha: the Florentine navigator wrote to Francis 1 of France. It offers the earliest Tull description of the North American coast I impressions of a semi-barbaric race are most interesting. Verrazzano s sensitivity to physical beauty causes him to dwell at great length on the Narragansetts whom he found there. Weighing anchor, we sailed fifty leagues toward the east, as the coast stretched in that direction. and always in sight of it; at length we discovered an island of triangular form, about ten leagues from the mainland, in size about equal to the island of Rhodes, having manv hills covered with trees, and well peopled, judging from the great number of fires which we saw all around its shores; we gave it the name of your majesty's illustrious mother . . . This is the finest-looking tribe, and the handsomest in their costumes, that we have found in our vovage. They exeeed us in size, and they are of a very fair com- plexion; some of them inclining more to a bronze, and others to a tawny color; their faces are sharp, their hair long and black, upon the adorning of which they bestow great pains; their eyes are black and sharp, their expression mild and pleas- ant, greatly resembling the antique I say nothing to your majesty of the other parts of the body, which are all in good proportion, and such as belong to well-formed men. Verrazzano's details are, perhaps, worthy of attention. The savage simplicity of the tribes and the description of their costumes remind us of the freedom' of the new world as manifested in the peoples whom the Europeans found there.

Whereas some attribute the name Rhode Island to Verrazzano, others wish to claim Adrian Block as the man who is actually responsible. Block, so they say, gave it the name Roodt Evlandt' commeniorating the fiery aspect of the shore duc to the red clay. To those who know, however, it really doesn't matter as long as you pronounce it RHO D'ISLAND. In 1614, Adrian Block found the Indian island of Manisses, which Verrazzano had named Louisa some ninety years before. The Dutch explorer save to the island his own name. Block Island has been connected through the years with both the dramatic sea exploits of the past and the fantastic stories which usually accompany them. I left England to get from under the Lord Bishops, but in America I am fallen under the power of the lord brethrenand thus William Blackstone left Massa- chusetts for consciences sake. This was in 1634. His was the first white settlement in Rhode Tsland. William Blackstone, a clergyman of the Church of England, was a man of strong will who rejected the interference of his neighbors in matters of his spirit and sought the solace of the isolated existence. He is sometimes described as an horticulturist who planted the first apple orchard in Rhode Island. But more often than not, he is compared to the man whom he precededRoger Williams. Blackstone's lack of social-consciousness serves the historian with beautiful example of the real worth of Williams whose pre-occupation with the condition of his fellow men was instrumental in furthering the causes of human liberty and justice. Gave his name to Block Island; explored and left definite records and descriptions of Narragansett Bay, the surrounding country, and the Indian tribes, he found there.

The banishment was modified to allow Williams to re- main in Salem until spring, but when words spread that he was again furthering the cause of his blasphemy, a posse was sent after his failure to appear at court in Boston to place him on board a ship hound for England. Tt was this which prompt- ed his departure from Massachusetts and his eventual arrival at the Seekonk River in June, 1636. And it 1s usual in the relating of these events to state that thus Providence was settled. There were the long series of agreements and deeds with the Indian chiefs, the simple adjustments to topography and geography, and the need for numbers finally Powder Horn view of Providence. satisfied, that helped Providence to attain the permanency of a settlement. It is true, however, that through the wisdom of Roger Williams many of the obstacles were overcome in relatively short time. His appreciation of the importance of the Indian to the success of the new colony helped much in speeding up the process. March 24, 1638 is the date of the first known written deed whereby Canonicus and Minantonomi sold land to Williams. The twelve other original proprietors of Providence Plantations besides him were: Stukely Westcott, William Arnold, Thomas James, Robert Cole, John Greene, John Throckmorton, William Harris, William Carpenter, Thomas Olney, Francis Weston, Richard Waterman, and Ezekial Holyman. 07 AT o 1 3 ;,Xu y t WILLIAMS LEAVES MASSACHUSETTS MARCH 24, 1638 - ' a2 Rhode Island Historical Society Plan showing the approximate locationn of Homze Lors of the EARLY SETTLERS PROVIDENCE. R T COPYRIGHT BY CHARLES W HOPKINS Discontented colonists from Massachusetts sought refuge in Rhode Island. As more and more came it became necessary to have leaders to further their economic, religious, and political concerns. Providence did not long remain the only scttlement. The Antino- mian controversy was basic to the settlement on Aquidneck Island of William Coddington, John Clarke and others. But early in the history of the colony it was Roger Williams who made the differ- ence because the real fight for survival was in Indian relations. Wil- liams diplomacy and constant striving for peace saved the settle- ments from certain disaster. Whatever may be said for the com- munity spirit and united purpose of the new settlers, without the intelligent leadership which constantly demonstrated the value of beneficent Christian doctrineall would have ended in failure. The settlers were often impatient with the tribes who owned the land but nothing was ever gained by antagonizing them. The fre- quent intervention of Williams in matters of misunderstanding and disappointment attest to his wisdom as a politician and to his hon- esty as a clergyman.

Stokes Collection, New York Public Library The Antinomian heresy is described by one scholar as the struggle for freedom of thought and action against the spirit of formalism. In essence, it revolved around the controversy over the doctrine of the justification of faith alone, versus the doctrine of faith as demonstrated in works. Anne Hutchinson, the leader of that group which preached the inward light, gained favor with many of the influen- tial Boston citizens and was viewed by the theocratic state as a menace. Mrs. Hutch- inson's criticisms of Sunday sermons and her interpretations of the Bible were hard- ly in keeping with a community which permitted no public criticism and no new interpretations in matters of established theology. Anti-Hutchinson sentiment grew in almost direct proportion to the steadily increasing popularity of the new ideas, and finally an excommunication was ordered in March, 1638. Anne Hutchinson was banished with the following pronouncement: Therefore in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the name of the church I do not only pronounce you worthy to be cast out, but T do cast you out, and in the name of Christ do I deliver you up to Satan, that you may learn no more to blas- pheme, toseduce, and to lie. Those who fled from Massachusetts as a result of this controversy settled in 1638 at Aquidneck Island and later, in 1639, formed the towns of Portsmouth and New- port.

Rapid development of communities throughout the settlement of Rhode Island soon followed and purchases became a common oc- currence. The background to the Warwick purchase is filled with the disagreements of one Sam Gorton with all and any who attempted to stifle his individual freedom. Gorton s temperament is pethaps best denionstrated by his remarks concerning his expulsion from Aquidneck because of his flaunting practices of soul liberty which had already caused his banishment from Plymouth. He maintains that he had con- ducted himself obediently to the government of Plimouth so farre as it became me at least, for I understood that they had commission wherein authoritie was derived, which authoritie I reverenced; but Rhode fsland at that time had none, therefore no authoritie legally derived to deal with me. Neither had they the choice of the people, but set up themselves. I know not any man that was present in their creation but a clergie man, who blessed them in their inauguration, and I thought myself as fitt and able to governe myselfe and family as any that were then in Rhode Island. Even Providence was unable to assimilate Gorton with his radical denials of the power of the civil government. The important end result, however was that by suc- cessfully negotiating the purchase of Shawomet with Miantonomi, Gorton added greatly to the physical size of the settlement and aided Williams in his fight for col- onization. In 1644 a Free Charter of Civil Incorporation and Government for the Providence Plantations in the Narragansett Bay, in New England was granted by the English Parliamentary Commission headed by the Earl of Warwick. Under old style chronology this is sometimes called the Charter of 1643 . A fire:brand; a courageous sufferer undcr many persccutions; founder of the Town of Warwick; obtained the most importan early treaty with the Narragansett Indians, thereby greatly aiding Roger Williams in securing the first Rhode Island Charter, The rich colonial lines that characterize the carly New England meeting house are strikingly preserved in !hIS gem of Puritan simplicity, The Old White Church, or Ihe Newman Congregational Church, as it is called from its founder, Rev. Samuel Newman, located at Rumford. Laswell b ! Re L i i e unumixm:-uunuuuwun.u-mnuuumuwmuwu-uum OO0 11 1y - e - From a drawing by G. D. Laswell From a drawing by G. D.

Rhode Island Historical Society The patent of 1644, however, did not set things right immediately. A series of differences with Massachusetts concerning boundaries and the ambition of Cod- dington, among other things, prevented any satisfactory functioning of govern- ment. The Narragansett Patent of 1643 was claimed by Massachusetts to have priority over any subscquent territorial grant and Providence was declared to be rightfully part of Massachusetts. Messages were sent to the people of Rhode Island requesting that they forbear the exercise of government. These were answered forcefully in defense of the new patent. Massachusetts soon gave up the idea of pressing the issue because the legality of the Narragansett Patent was on shaky ground. William Coddington contributed to the delay in the organization by his support of Massachusetts on these matters and by his constant efforts for personal gain. Finally, on May 19, 1647 the first General Assembly convened at Portsmouth and adopted a code of laws. These laws were preceded by a compact which gives good indication of the direction of the new democracy. We, whose names are here underwritten, do engage ourselves to the utmost of our estates and strength, to maintain the authority and to enjoy the liberty granted to us by our charter, in the extent of it according to the letter, and to maintain each other by the same authority in his lawful right and liberty.

Stokes Collection, New York Public Library 21 Rhode Island Historical Society CHARTER OF 1663 Stokes Collection, New York Public Library The functioning of government under the Charter of 1644 was short-lived. Many of the principles had been sufficiently altered and modified as to change the com- plexion of the young democracy. Some fancy maneuvering on the part of Codding- ton secured for him a proprictary governorship for life and caused a separation between Portsmouth and Newport on one side and Providence and Warwick on the other. When news reached Rhode Island in 1653 that through the efforts of Roger Williams and John Clarke the Coddington Commission had been repealed, the confederacy was ready to try again. It was apparent that settlers had not only them- selves to consider but were also vitally dependent on political conditions and in- fluences in England. Many of the delays and frustrations grew directly out of up- heavals in English government. On July 8, 1663 Charles IT granted Rhode Island its second charter. This was to be the law of the land on and off until the Revolution. Tt did not automatically bring security in representation but by its liberal grants it gave the colony an op- portunity to develop in other areas of human activity besides the political. New peoples came to the colonyQuakers, Catholics, Jews. Industry began to expand. In 1671 Joseph Jenks mill was begun at Pawtucket Falls and other fami- lies and individuals invested in manufacture. The first wharf built in Providence came in 1680 and this helped to further the shipping industry. In June, 1693 Massa- chusetts established its first postal route between Boston and Rhode Island. The step-child could no longer be ignored. Within the colony communications also were begun and in 1695 the first ferry connecting Jamestown and Newport was runmn. 2 28 i i LSRR S Providence, Rhode Island, 1858-1860.

The man who set up the first printing press in the colony was a refugee from the authoritarian control of Massachusetts. His editorial comments on public policies had been greeted with disfavor there and he was frequently a victim of prosecution. On September 29, 1732 James Franklin issued the Rhode Island Gazette at Newpore Printed and sold by James Franklin at his printing house under the Town School House, where Advertisments and Letters to the Author are taken in.

Nevertheless, the difference in numbers meant that a greater division of labor was possible. An organ of com- munication, no matter how crude, was desirable certainly under these circum- stances. The cessation of publication of one newspaper, however, was not quickly followed by the birth of another. The Rhode Islund Gazette had only seven months of life because of lack of support but Newport did not quickly find a substitute. In the early stages of growth, the printer and his press though valuable were not indis- pensable. James Franklin, Jr., carryving on his father's trade, founded the Newport Merc- ury in 1758. This newspaper, enjoyed a better fate than that of its predecessor. In fact, it continued as a weekly for 170 yearsinterrupted only by British occupation of Newport. It may be observed that the initial ventures in newspaper work came from New- port. Glaringly absent from the picture was Providence which did not get its own paper until 1762, In that year William Goddard set up the first printing press in Providence and published the Providence Gazette and Country Journal. He too suffered from lack of support. Goddard left Providence but was requested to return by his readers who desired that he should continue in his work. Goddard, unfortu- nately, was unsatisfied with his second attempt and left the Gazette in the hands of his mother, Mrs. Sarah Goddard who, in Goddard's words, has enjoyed to do all she can for supporting the printing business in Providence. Mrs. Goddard did relatively well, and in 1767 acquired a partner, Mr. John Carter. The Gazette had a long history. William Goddard, m his own efforts, founded the Constitutional Courant of New York, the Pennsylvania Chronicle and Universal Advertiser of Philadelphia, and the Maryland Journal and Baltimore Advertiser. The significant internal advancements, as exemplified by newspaper develop- ment, point to the fact that Newport had the jump on Providence. Not for many vears was there to be any real competition between the two. Newport had the wealth and the citizens who were interested in continued improvement. Usually they had the requisite capital to achieve their ends. As early as 1715 the General Assembly recognized the importance of Newport when it appropriated funds to- ward paving the streets. It was the first instance of street paving within the colony. The Redwood Library. Formed in New- port in 1735 and chartered in 1747. 26 George C.

Laswell Abraham Redwood contributed 500 pounds towards the purchase of books for a permanent literary society and his fellow-townsmen raised 5,000 pounds for the erection of a building to house the collection. The result was the Redwood Library of Newport which for many years was the colony's center of study for the learned. The society was incorporated in 1747. The original idea for such a society came from Bishop Berkeley who stayed in Newport for three years and stimulated en- thusiasm for literary and intellectual pursuits. Plans for the Doric structure were drawn by Peter Harrison, English architect. During the Revolution much of the collection was destroyed. The library was not truly revitalized again until the nineteenth century when many volumes were added. Back in 1640, Newport had alloted land for support of public school the Rev. Robert Lenthal being called by vote to open it. The next important mention of public education is the opening of a Latin school in Newport by Mr. Galloway in 1711. Once again it was demonstrated that the luxuries of society could only be considered when matters of survival had been conquered. The Redwood Library, the development of public education, and later the establishment of the Providence Library Association in 1754 are all exemplary of the gradual awareness of a Rhode Island culture.

Mason Newport Harbour, from the Blue RocksCirca 1847 Newport, from Fort Dunham 30 In a lecture on Rhode Island Literature, Dr. Randall Stewart quoted Roger Williams from the Key Into the Language of America. The passage from the Key concerns an observation on the Rhode Island winter: Stewart . It may be wondered why since New England is about twelve degrees nearer to the sun, yet some part of winter it is there ordinarily more cold than in England. The reasonis plain. All islands are warnmier than mainlands and continents. England being an island, England's winds are sea winds, which are commonly more thick and vapory, and warnier winds. The northwest wind which occasioneth New Eng- land cold comes over the cold frozen land, and over many millions of loads of snow, and yet the pure wholesomeness of the air is wonderful, and the warmth of the sun such in the sharpest weather that I have often scen the Natives children 1un about naked in the coldest days, and the Indian men and women lye by a fire, in the woods in the coldest nights, and I have often been out myself such nights with- out fire, mercifully and wonderfully preserved. There is inl this expression a feeling of contentment, together with a child-like appreciation of the phenomena which surround him in nature. He is talking about weather which is new weather. He is writing from a place which is a new place 31 ROGER WILLIAMS, KEY From a drawing by George C. Mason s From drawings by George D.

But always something of the spark of Williams' reaction seems to have been available to the colonists. In times of distress they moved forward with a spirit which lifted them above the temporal and made them jealous of their gifts as nature's gifts. It is this which makes Bronson's remark in the History of Brown University significant : To this age of small beginnings and great principles there had succeeded in the half century before James Manning's arrival, a period of growth, prosperity in material things, and this wealth had brought, especially to Newport, a consider- able degree of culture.

With the establishment of Rhode Island College at Warren in 1764 and the presidency of James Man- ning, a graduate of Princeton, the embryo college opened its doors. From that moment on, Brown, as it was later re-named, moved surely and cautiously into the ranks of the nation's outstanding educational in- stitutions. Curriculum made many advances. With the estab- lishment of the Brown University Medical School in 1811 a short-lived experiment of twenty-two years, the school started its long scientific tradition. By 1850, President Wayland took one of the era's most radical steps by proposing to the Corporation a system of electives for the curriculum.

Campus-wise, Brown passed through a long process from the single College Edifice to the twenty-two mil- lion dollar plant of today. Beginning with the con- struction of Hope College in 1822, the College ex- panded at a moderate speed, adding Manning Hall, Rhode Island, and Rogers within the next few de- cades. Construction of Robinson Hall gave the library temporary location until 1904 and the building of the John Hay Library. Athletic facilities at Brown also passed through a similar process. From Lyman Gym- nasium and Andrews Field to the Brown Stadium and Marvel Gymnasium, the University has laid more and more emphasis on recreational facilities. Many dormi- tories have also been added, including Maxcy, Slater, Horace Mann, Brunonia, Littlefield, Caswell, Hege- man, and now the Wriston Era's Quadrangle. It is difficult to summarize the evolution of a great University into so few words, and all must realize it took the influence of each era and the school's in- herent pioneering spirit in education to make the modern Brown University, Wriston Era. a present symbol of the CLARHWCE A.

Confusion arises from ignorance, from lack of will to reach conclusions, and from want of character. The great task of America is to recover faith in itself, in its ideals, in the power of reason. The WRISTON ERA The key to the liberal arts is a desire to be a competent amateur as well as an able professional. If you believe that the great reality is freedom, you will want before all else the education calculated to make men free, which, translated into aca- demic terms, is a liberal education. Since his inauguration in 1937 as the eleventh president of Brown University, Henry M. Wriston has strongly defended this thesis. While many colleges have turned to programs of ex- treme specialization and technical training, Brown has steadfastly remained aleader in the liberal arts field of education. During Dr. Wriston's regime, Brown has made the greatest gains in its history in the size of the student body and physical plant, the revision and revitalization of its curriculum, and the strengthening of its faculty. These improvements have resulted in enhanced national prestige and in a con- stant increase in application for admission by secondary school students. The Depression and World War II at first prevented Dr. Wriston from initiating the changes which he had in mind from the moment he left the presidency of Lawrence College to become head of Americas seventh old- est university. Peace in 1945 was the signal for the expansion of the cam- pus. Whitehall, Andrews Hall, the north wing of the John Hay Library, Andrews House, and the restoration of University Hall were significant achievements. The culmination of this building program was the ten mil- lion dollar Quadrangle designed to provide a domestic environment hos- pitable to our educational ideals. The curriculum has also undergone much revision during The Wriston Era. The number of courses required each semester has been reduced from five to four. Greater attention has been focused on the humanities and the social sciences through the distribution program. The Identification and Criticism of Ideas has sought a fresh, sounder approach to the life of the mind. Brown has certainly profited from Dr. Wriston's forceful and courageous leadership. His emphasis of the importance of spiritual values, of freedom and self-discipline, has brought him high renown in the educational field. He has directed Brown with one goal in mind-the stimulation of an in- tellectual interest within the individual. One hundred and ninety yearsProvidence and Rhode Island-stabil- ity and change all form a part of the web which makes Brown University unique among scholastic institutions: a residential university college in a metropolitan community. e i SR SAMUEL TOMLINSON ARNOLD, Ph.D., Sc.D., Sc.E.D., LL.D, Prouvost of the University BRUCE MACMILLAN BIGELOW, Ph.D. Vice-President o The Provost and the Uice-President - - - 42 Officers of the . . .

We should like to prove to vou the stand for the affirmative by pointing with pride to the men of Brown. What of John Hay? Throughout his life he was the adviser of Presidents and diplomats, and the world's authority on practiceable international law. How- ever, his real effect upon the historical process came from his distinguished ca- reer as Secretary of State under two administrations. From this legal mind stemmed the basis of the generation's foreign policy. It was this Brown graduate of the Class of 1857 who put forth the Open Door Policy, increasing the world position and physical size of the United States. What man radically changed the course of education in the United States? T'his answer is, of course, Horace Mann, 1819, As a teacher legislator, and ad- ministrator, Mann laid the prineiples and organization for the present public school system. No one can deny that in the realm ol contemporary finance and philanthropy John D. Rockefeller, Jr., 1897, stands without equal. His wisdom, and charity have influenced academic achievements, improvements in medical science, and accompanying higher cultural standards. Certainly Charles Evans Hughes, 1881, can be considered as a man who changed history. As a justice of the Supreme and World Courts, his policies and decisions established present international law and altered the entire course of the New Deal. The success of the modern state university is owed to another man who cer- BENjAMIN IDE WHEELER HeNrRY WHEATON ARTHUR BARTLETT HOMER JouN Hay WiLLIAM MARGY GRADS tainly made history. Through foresicht and experimentation, Benjamin Ide Wheeler, 1875, as President of the University of California, established the stand- ards and organization enjoyed today by many state universities. Can Brown say one of its sons has affected the course of contemporary litera- ture? It can; and, of course, the reference is to S. J. Perelman, 1925. Probably few humorists today have had the success of this author. Modern-day industrial America has a great deal to be thankful for in Arthur Bartlett Homer, 1917, President of Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Under his leadership, his company has made wide-scale advances in steel processing and industrial organization. No man in the field of international law and law codification was more influ- ential than Henry Wheaton, 1802. As chief legal adviser of the Supreme Court, he set the standard for today's system of codified jurisprudence. In the field of practical politics, William Marcy, 1808, has no peer. As Gov- ernor of New York, Secretary of State, and Secreatry of War, he developed the system of political patronage. Certainly any classification of the nation's influential figures would include Richard Olney, 1856, who as Secretary of State under Cleveland offered inter- national stability to a nation wrought by change. From any casual accumulation of evidence, an inference must be made to sub- stantiate the aflirmative. Even if scholars still disagree, these examples of Brown men who have had inestimable effect on their generations lead one to believe that men of the past and present, and those whose pictures follow have and shall make history.

The real beginning of the Faunce House Board of Governors would appear to be the construction of the building for which that organization was formed. Rockefeller Hall, later named Faunce House in hon- or of Brown's former President, William H. P. Faunce, was officially opened on January 20, 1904. Since then, Faunce House, which was enlarged in 1931 with the construction of the East Wing, has be- come the headquarters for a multitude of social and recreational activities of undergraduates and faculty alike and houses many of Brown's student organiza- tions. The Faunce House Board founded in 1929, with its stated purpose being to of Governors was bring more closely together the administration of the Brown Union and the student body of Brown Uni- versity. The group was originally authorized by the Alumni Board of Management of the Brown Union and appointed by the Cammarian Club to serve for one college year. This social planning body was com- posed of representatives from each class and met monthly, or more if needed. Today, as in the past, the Faunce House Board of Governors, in cooperation with the Director of Faunce House, William A. Suprenant, successfully plans many suitable leisure time social acitvities for the undergrad- uates, graduates, and faculty of Brown University. It is composed of an executive board and eleven com- mittees which execute the various social projects. The activities and pastimes which are now offered by this Tribute at Anniversary Cleremony. body include movies, concerts, dances, checker and chess tournaments, and the tension-relieving exam time cartoons. The IFaunce House Student Board of Governors is an important organization in promoting a closer school spirit at Brown. It does this by furnish- At tables: Torgan, Johnson, Thomas president, Lipetz, Tananbaum, Halpert. Back row.

This year a special celebration was held to com- memorate the 50th anniversary of Faunce House. Former FFaunce House Director Nelson Jones jomned in turning back the calendar as well as looking into the future of America's second oldest student union. Displays depicting the history and development of Faunce House, and various activities of the organiza- tions within its confines were set up in the Art Gallery and West Lounge. An informal Anniversary Ball cli- maxed the celebration at which administration, fac- ulty, students, and friends of Brown gathered to honor Faunce House's Golden Anniversary. The years have flown by while the college has greatly expanded, but Faunce House continues to render service as the home of Brown's activities and organizations. We relax and exercise our minds there, Jazz in the old house tonight K. Brooke Anderson and his friendly advice. The Brown Christian Association traces its history back to the Brown Praying Society which existed over one hundred and fifty years ago. Affiliated with the New England Christian Movement, the National Stu- dent Y.M.C.A., and the World Student Christian Federation, the B.C.A., supervised by K. Brooke An- derson, seeks to promote inter-religious harmony in the Brown community. Guided by President Richard E. Woodsum, the B.C.A. consists of a number of sub-divisions which carry out its objectives. Any Brown man believing in the Association's aims and desiring to aid in any as- pect of its program is eligible for membershin. One of the B.C.A.'s many divisions is the Freshman Week Committee, which attempts to orientate the ncophyte to campus life. The entire schedule of Fresh- man Week activities-lectures, get-acquainted func- tions, movies, and the Freshman Dance with Pem- brokeis organized by this group. The B.C.A. also formulates and distributes the freshman handbook, BEAR FACTS. This book offers an introduction to university rules and regulations, sports and campus activities, and the old traditions still prevalent at Brown. Thus, in the Brown tradition Underprivileged children receiving benefits of the work, 92 of friendship, the niembers of the entering dlass adjust to college life. Another mportant segment of the organization is the World Community Commission, which attempts to achieve a greater understanding of significant so- cial, economic, and political topics. At its meetings, lecturers from all walks of life, ranging from noted faculty members to high statesmen, deliver informa- tive and often fascinating addresses. The annual World Affairs Week is also sponsored by the World Community Commission. Contributions to social progress and reform are made by the Christian Community Commission. Members encourage the organization of boys' clubs and scout troops and help in planning their programs. Aiding underprivileged children and performing counseling work in reformatory institutions is another of this committees worthy projects. The Christian Faith and Heritage Commission studies secular topies. The organization also sponsors a number of religious services and maintains commit- tees which carry on research in Biblical literature. Still another activity conducted by the Brown Christian Association is a Religious Lnibassy Week, Delegates from Brown's many campus organizations meet in round-table discussions of religious questions. At that time, prominent clerical leaders journcy to the university to deliver pertinent addresses and talk with the students. Foreign students mect the boss.

G BROWN 94 This year the Brown Charity Drive under the lead- ership of Robert Naylor, 54, and William Peace, 54, surpassed its goal of $5,000. WBRU held a twenty- four hour marathon campaign while The Brown Daily Herald also contributed to the campaign with articles and advertisements. The funds collected by the drive will be distributed among six worthy causes: the World University Service, United Negro College, Japanese Christian University Fund, Negro Scholar- ship Tund, John Hope Community Center, and the Brown Christian Association. The first collection of funds for campus charities was taken by the Brown Christian Association in 1928. The fund first called the Brown Community Fund in 1933 had a goal of $2,000. The money was used to aid negro scholarship students and during the de- pression to provide money for student work projects. During World War II, the World Student Service Fund, a charity included in almost all the drives, sup- plied libraries to Allied prisoners of war in concentra- tion camps. In later years the Cammarian Club took over the collection of money. At the present time, the Club ap- points a Commission to do the job. Fraternity and dorm collections now play an integral part in the col- lections. The fund has developed through the years and has continually supported many worthy organiza- tions.

Back row: Thomas, Houk, Hollander, McKendall, Sterling, Mayerson, Chappell, Moore, Landman, Baumgarten, Powers, Easton. The origins of the Cammarian Club show an illus- trious past dating back to a secret society in 1893. Through the years it gained recognition as an hon- orary governing body, until 1949, when it became the representative student governing body at Brown. Since then it has been the official organ of expression for undergraduate opinions. g This year finds the organization firmly established and recognized, enjoying a healthy program as com- pared to its initial stage in which the Cammarian Club had to struggle for existence. Two main prob- lems confronted the organization in its first year: first, using its authority properly and second, educating the student body to representative government. These problems were resolved and the club embarked on a policy of increased initiative. This year the Cammarian Club has taken great measures toward increasing student responsibility. The success of the 2.5 average requirement for free cuts for seniors enabled the club to secure this priv- ilege also for members of the junior class. Restrictions upon liquid refreshments were loosened, as Univer- sity Hall observed an increasing intellectual, cultural, Bos Rotu, President and moral emphasis on campus. The Quadrangle and the I-C program were credited with the great im- provement in the college average. Finally, the Club, in the belief that the student body was ready to accept responsibility, endorsed an honor code for academic work. LIBER BRUNENSIS Joe the Managing Editor straightens out the Sports Dept. BiLL Havrr, Business Manager 5 The task of summarizing the academic, extra-cur- ricular, and social life of four hundred and eighteen seniors and nineteen hundred undergraduates is ex- ceedingly difficult. For in setting the year down in print, the spirit and enthusiasm along with the serious- ness of an academic atmosphere, which form an in- tegral part of any college life, cannot be completely captured. Words alone are inadequate to express these phases which are a part of the daily life of all Brown men. But through the combination of pictures and words, it is believed that a worthy and accurate ac- count of life at Brown can be presented. The editors of the 1954 Liber Brunensis have striven to create and prescm such an account. Organizations, clubs, athletic teams, and fraterni- ties arc important in their regular contribution to the Brown campus and the surrounding community. Yet as one walks from the John Hay Library to the Quad- rangle, he cannot help but be influenced at some time or other by the almost two centuries of growth and de- velopment of Brown University. Tradition and prog- ress, the old and the new, intermingle to form a basis for the personal development of the individual stu- dent. It 1s with this in mind that the Liber has at- tempted to present an interesting and comprehensive historical picture of the growth of Rhode Island and GEORGE S, MoRrFOGEN, Editor-in-Chief Itsihis ereation e Brown. It has gone back into the archives of the past and has interviewed the leaders of the present. It has constantly striven to capture the whole atmosphere of a place which has become more than a home to every Brown man. The Liber Brunensis was organized and founded in 1869. The Brown Paper, a four page annual pub- Iished by the secret societies, was its predecessor. From the first, the Liber included the names of all the col- lege societies and other organizations, with their offi- cers and members, as well as news items and edito- rials. Later, biographies of the seniors in the graduat- ing class were added to the book's gradually growing format. With the age of photography, came the inno- vation and use of pictures which gradually gave more depth to the book. Today, the use of the photograph plays perhaps the most important role in the produc- tion of the Liber. In 1950, the Liber attained the for- mat and dimensions which are characteristic of the siinal b yearbook today. Previous to this, the book was smaller in size, while the emphasis was on the literary por- trayal of the Brown community. This year the Managing Board consisted of George Morfogen, Editor-in-Chief; Joe Dickinson, Managing 97 Editor, and Bill Hall, Business Manager. It was in the hands of these three that the 1954 Liber was formu- lated, created and finally produced. It was their ideas and hard work which made possible this unique and unusual edition. Working only with a small staff, the managing board feels it has produced an outstanding edition. Things ran smoothly in the literary . . . and in photography. Committee on DRAMATIC PRODUCTIONS In May 1939, the creation of a Director of Dramat- ics and of the Committee on Dramatic Productions marked the beginning of the latest phase of dramatic activities at Brown. The administration's action in for- mulating such a group sprung from the need of clar- iftying the presentation of conflicting dramatic pro- ductions. Another reason for its formation was the An entrance to music. highlights of this vear's season were Roger Carmel's portrayal of Falstaff in Henry IT, the all Pembroke production of The House of Bernada Alba, and the fine acting of Geoffrey Riker and George Morfogen, as exemplified by their performances in Hotel Uni- verse. The patient direction of Professor Ben Brown was once again largely responsible for the consistently high calibre of the performances throughout the sea- son. Professor Millard Thomson's musical Give It A W hirl brought rave notices to the Brownbrokers or- ganization, as his many melodious numbers coupled with fine dancing and singing formed one of the best shows ever seen at Brown. 3 The thrill which accompanies curtain going up is shared by all the participants and is transmitted to the audiences who fill the Little Theater on Water- man Street. 98 University s recognition of the idea that the theater in a university is an important educational function both in its connection to extra-curricular activities and more important in its connection to dramatic instruc- tion.

BROWN GLEE CL They studied the score for the first time . . . . and learned their parts . . . 100 Newspaper clippings of the 1820's indicate that a singing group had been established at Brown shortly after the turn of the century. This initial group later developed into the Brown Glee Club. Since its incep- tion, this musical organization has been a popular source of entertainment both on and off the college green. In the 1920s the Glee Club sought a new field of singing and so it added to its ranks a banjo and man- dolin group. In 1925 the club made a successful and unique tour by appearing in black face for several very popular minstrel shows. The organization in the years to follow united with the Pembroke Glee Club and began to supplement their endeavors in light mu- sic with heavier choral work. The University Chorus, as it was then called, became a separate organization in 1950 because it was felt that it would afford a greater opportunity for straight male vocal specializa- tion. The Glee Club is now a student managed and pro- fessionally directed group. It receives assistance in arranging programs from the various Brown Clubs throughout the country. The proceeds of these con- certs are used for scholarships and other charitable purposcs. Over a century of singing has seen the Brown Glee Club evolve as one of the most outstanding musical groups on campus. Today it has achieved an almost professional quality in its style of presentation and its unique and assorted musical variations. . and rehearsed thenn . The high quality of a soprano . . . Music has been a tradition at Brown for over one hundred and fifty years. Probably the earliest musical group was the Brown Glee Club which was formed about 1800. It was followed by the Pembroke Glee Club m 1895. The chorus was composed of members from these glee clubs. Prior to 1950, the Brown-Pembroke chorus, as it was then called, met when the two glee clubs com- bined to sing four-part works at local concerts and tours. Three years ago the chorus became a separate, completely independent unit. Last spring a further change took place and the name Brown University Chorus was adopted. The chorus consists of about ninety-five men and women. Formerly the chorus performed joint concerts with groups from other colleges to a greater extent than it does now. It has retained the customary appearance with the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra. In- cluded in their programs have been works such as Handel's Oratorio and Marienlieder by Brahms. The chorus has both a distinct educational aim and a serious aesthetic purpose. It provides an opportunity to those students who like to sing the larger, more se- rious choral works. Members also acquire a more sig- nificant appreciation of music. Certainly the chorus has added much to both Brown and Providence. . to the low of a bass . . . . blend into chorus refrain. BROWN UNIVERSITY CHORUS 101 . . They play into the night. BROWN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA 102 For the waiting audience . In 1886, the Brown University Symphony Society made its first appearance on this campus. This orig- inal group of a few frolicsome musicians also gave its first public performance that year and received high acclaim. The Society flourished and died out intermittently over the ensuing years until 1920, when it became firmly established, giving concerts in and around Providence and New England with an occasional per- formance in the Middle West. The musical talents of Pembroke were added in 1934 to form the Brown-Pembroke Orchestra. The in- creased size and quality of the group opened to it the possibilities of a broader repertoire. In 1949, it was reorganized by its new faculty ad- visor, Professor Martin Fischer, who conducts it to- day, and its size grew steadily along with the number of its concerts. At present, this organization, now known as the Brown University Symphony Orchestra, draws its members from the faculty and undergraduate body of Brown and Pembroke and also from the city of Prov- idence. Through the years, the Orchestra has become one of the most important and enriching ties the Univer- sity has with the surrounding Providence community as well as a most satisfying diversion and extra-curric- ular activity for those participating in it. BRUNONI Rocer BoweN, Editor. R A college magazine first appeared on the Brown campus in 1829, and continued to come out in month- Iy issucs, under the title of The Brunonian, until 1831, when it became extinct. Its stated purpose was to secure to the students, the facility of appearing before their friends, through the medium of the press and to place within their reach what, in subscquent life, may prove an interesting memento of early at- tachments. The magazine offered essays, critiques, poems, and melodramatic short stories. In 1868 the magazine was revived and a sizeable section devoted to campus events and comments was added. In this form it continued until after World War II but was known under such various titles as the Brown Jug, Sir Brown, and The Brown Magazine . The present Brunonia was founded in the spring of 1946 under the supervision of Professor C. M. Web- ster of the Brown English Department as a medium for the expression of student literary talents in essay, poetry, critique, or short story form. In 1949, under Mr. C. H. Philbrick's guidance, the magazine became more fully established, with much of the art work be- ing done by students from the Rhode Tsland School of Design. This year, the Brunonia has been under the su- pervision of Mr. Harford Powel. The magazine has been frowned upen occasionally by some who think it too highbrow, but this may well stem from its pol- icy of using only the best of student literary contribu- tions. Fifth oldest college daily newspaper, the Brown Daily Herald, first published in 1891, continues to provide students, faculty, alumni, and friends with the news which emanates from the college campus. At first, the Herald faced competition from The Brown Magazine and The Brunonian, but its practice of relating the news in prompt fashion enabled it to supplant these periodicals. The Herald has changed and expanded in its sixty- three years of service, and its daily publication has only been interrupted by both world wars. Its format has followed the basic trends of newspaper publishing. This year a United Press Wire was added in connec- tion with the editors decision to deemphasize minor The powers of editorial wisdom. And it'll all be forgotten by tomorrow afternoon. A staff cager to inform. campus activities in favor of an increase in the cover- B o N age of national news and more important campus in- formation. The Herald also printed opinions of many of the members of the faculty on vital issues of the D A I l Y day. The editorial page frequently contained recom- mendations to the University and the Cammarian Club. Geographic clubs, student tutors, the alteration of the Vigilance Committee, and other topics received attention. 104 Front row, left to right: Focarino, Viessmann, Gottchrer, Furman, Levin, Halpert, Frceman, Rose, Bollow.

The institution of regular programs of competition for people seeking positions has effected a marked improvement in un- degraduate participation. 105 Enlightenment from efforts of Ivy brethren.

Thus begins another program on the first collegiate radio station in the United States. Founded in 1936 by George Abrahams and David Borst, WBRU provides the Brown man with that wel- comed bit of relaxation after a long, difficult day. Serving both the Brown and Pembroke campuses, the students announce, engineer, and produce their own shows. Since the business and advertising is also han- dled by the Station WBRU is a truly completely inde- pendent organization. The station joined the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System last year. The System was organized in 1940 by Brown alumni, Abrahams and Borst, to provide technical information, scripts, tape recordings, and various ideas to the member stations, which now num- ber over one hundred. WBRU joined the Ivy Net- work in 1950. The member stations from the Ivy League schools exchange programs and other broad- casting 1deas. Broadcasting at first from a dormitory room, the station moved to I'aunce House and now occupies the entire third floor of the west wing, consisting of an en- gineering booth, a newsroom with a United Press Teletype, and three studios. The record collection, both classical and popular, has been tripled with funds provided by the station and now consists of over 3,000 discs. Sports coverage, too, has been greatly increased. Many home and away football, basketball, baseball, and hockey games have been broadcast to the stu- dents. This was highlighted in 1951 by the presenta- tion of the games of the Brown hockey team, directly from the N.C.A.A. tournament in Colorado. WBRU during the first semester was guided under the careful direction of President Sumner Young. The spring semester saw Jerry Bernstein handle the reins as chief executive. Both of these men were very instru- mental in the over-all improvement of the entire or- ganization. It was also these two who were responsi- ble for several innovations, all of which improved the quality and all-around performance inside as well as outside the studios. Broadcasting time has been increased from eleven to fifteen hours a day. Many new and interesting shows have been introduced. Dominique, a Pem- broker's version of the Continental, brought much enjoyment to her listeners. Also presented at various times have been faculty interviews, book review shows, The Cammarian Club on the Air, and political dis- cussions by students and faculty. Daniel Boynton '56, Chief Engineer, who has in- stalled two new control boards in the ecngincering booth and has revised the audio, is greatly responsible for the improvement of WBRU reception on campus. In the annual fund raising marathon, run on behalf of the Brown Christian Association's Community Fund drive, the station received pledges for $2,400. The students who work in WBRU have gained in- valuable technical knowledge, creative ability and business experience. In its efforts to improve and bring entertaining programs to its listeners, WBRU has cer- tainly made remarkable progress. 107 I'd like to request . . . You would? Well . . . Flllery ...

PHOTOGRAPHY The Brown Photography Club imstructs interested students in photographic techniques and provides ex- cellent modern darkroom facilities for the amateur photographers on campus. Its readily accessible equipment is located in the basement of Faunce House. At the Photography Club's gatherings, experts in the field address the members, and group discussions arc held. Important questions such as What actually constitutes good photography? and What tech- niques create vivid and effective pictures? are de- bated by the club's photobugs. Constructive criti- cism of prints is offered, and the artistic and psycho- logical impact of the pictures is discussed. The Photography Club annually conducts a con- test, which is open to all Brown men, to judge the best It came out fine.

The of- ficers, headed by President Bill Pearce, in addition to handling the extensive business requirements of the organization, plan a full social calendar which in- cludes outings and parties for the club's members. Each season's activities are culminated by the All Club Salon. This exhibition consistently displays work of very high caliber which has been produced by members of the club throughout the year. The contri- butions of the club and of its individual members to various student publications is another indication of the importance of the photography club. The Radio Club was reactivated during the fall of 1953, after an absence of several years from the Brown campus. The club stimulates interest in radio mechan- ics, transmission, and reception. A discussion was held on high fidelity, with Professor Millard Gordon of the Engineering Departiient, sponsor of the club, a speaker. Discussions were also held on various aspects of television and other topics of interest to the club. The club has acquired a transmitting set and a re- ceiver and hopes to obtain a modulator and a variable oscillator in the near future. In an effort to raise mon- ey, the club is sponsoring movies in conjunction with the Camera Club. Each member of the Radio Club may listen to the receiver, though only those members with licenses may transmit. Donald Spiller, 56, heads a slate of four officers. At present, the club has an ac- tive membership of eighteen. RADIO CLUB Spiller president, Pearson, Ryder, Johnston flanked by other members of the club.

The Brown Young Republicans Club was formed with the purposc of inspiring the ideals and spirit of Republicanism among the students at the University. The ciub at Brown is 2 member of the New England Councdil of Young Republicans and . also affiliated with the National Young Republicans Club. Brown and Pembroke students interested in working for the party are addressed by eminent speakers of the Republican Party. The club sends delegates to the several party caucuses and to National Conventions. During election vears, metnbers are extremely active gaining YOUNG REPUBLICANS support for the candidates of the Republican Party. 109 The president presides at a meeting of the Union. Debating at Brown dates back to 1798 when the Philermenian Society was formed. Debating though prominent in the 19th century was not officially or- ganized until 1899 when the Debating Union was founded. A triangular Debating League was founded in 1906 to inspire competition between Dartmouth, Williams, and Brown. The next milestone in debating at Brown came in 1909 when the Brown Debating Union was admitted to Delta Sigma Rho, a national honorary debating so- ciety. Debating, however, from that time slipped into partial obscurity until after 1950. A concentrated in- terest in debating at Brown has developed in the past two years. Last year the varsity debating team placed second in Ivy League competition. This year the De- bating Union formally entered intercollegiate tourna- ment debating in addition to continuing the plans es- tablished in 1953. The Delta Sigma Rho Journal, a national debating magazine, has highly praised Brown's triumphs in the past two years. Congratulations!

Under the leadership of President Francis Wayland, the chapter super- seded its predecessor at Brown, the Federal Adel phi, and rapidly expanded from its original mem- bership of four members of the faculty. The development of social fraternities gave em- phasis to the claim of Phi Beta Kappa of being an honor society and to the tendency to restrict its undergraduate activities. Through the vyears, Brown has played an important role in the na- tional organization. Its membership has numbered such outstanding leaders as Charles Evans Hughes, James B. Angell, John Hay, and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Elections are held twice a year with juniors and seniors eligible. Today, as in the past, the society maintains its position as the highest achievement iri the liberal arts field of education. Left to right: Furman, Scharff, Wood- house, Goldberg, Gerard. The Brown Chapter of the Society of the Sigma Xi s I G M A x I was founded in 1886 with the purpose of encouraging and aiding original investigation in scientific and en- gineering institutions of higher learning. Fourteen years after the founding of the national society, the Brown Chapter of Sigma Xi was estab- lished. This seems to have been an appropriate and only logical educational advancement at Brown for the original charter of the University recognized the value cf the cultivation of scientific knowledge. The society consists of students who have shown ex- cellence in at least two departments of pure and ap- plied science. Sigma Xi holds a high position in its development of mutual understanding among students of science in all fields and its promotion of the spirit of companion- ship as indispensable elements for true scientific prog- TEeSss. Tuaomas GoLp, 54 s p H I N x The free exchange of ideas is an important pre- requisite for any institution of learning. A truly intellectual environment can only be gained through association between students and faculty on a level other than the ordinary classroom basis. The Sphinx Club was founded in 1904 as a cen- ter for intellectual activity at Brown. Its member- ship includes faculty, graduate students, and un- dergraduates. An excellent scholastic record as well as active interest in some field of study is re- quired for undergraduate membership. At month- ly meetings, prominent speakers lead discussions on varied topics. This year the Sphinx Club heard talks from Louis Lyons, noted columnist, Ahmed Fakhry, Visiting Fellow in Egyptology, Dean Bar- naby Keeney, and President Henry M. Wriston. The speeches, ranging from Sports in Egypt to Due Process of Law, aid the Sphinx Club in furthering its intellectual fellowship. Left: Minsky faculty president ; right: Carmel student president ; center: visiting lecturer, Honor scholarships were established by the fac- ulty of Brown University in 1909, among which WAY lA N D A N D were the James Manning and Francis Wayland Scholarships, with the purpose of encouraging M A N N I N G sc H olA R s proficiency in studies and offering recognition for successful application to studies. Since 1949 the Scholarships have been awarded at commencement to graduating students demon- strating scholastic achievement worthy of recog- nition during the senior year. Since 1922, they have been awarded at Honors Convocation to stu- dents whose work during the preceding year has been of such excellence that they are considered worthy of high academic disinction. At the instigation of Alexander Meiklejohn, a prize book is presented from the Ratcliffe Hicks Fund of 1907 to each James Manning and Fran- cis Wayland Scholar at Honors Convocation.

CHEMISTRY CLUB The Chemistry Club, led by President Serafino Fusco, sponsored this year an outstanding series of lectures and demonstrations on pertinent topics by leaders in the chemical sciences. At the organization's were delivered on such topics as thermodynamics, electrolysis, and other interesting aspects of chemistry and its allied subjects. In accord with its social purposes, the club is open to both Brown and Pembroke graduate and under- graduate students who meet regularly, and congregate informally in Metcalf Chemical Laboratory. Other activities of the group include picnics and scientific meetings, which were open to the public, addresses movies. Kneeling, left to right: Gatti, Chopoorian, Detoro, Wittreich.

The Biology Club was created in September, 1947, for the purpose of increasing the interest of both pre- medical students and biology majors by the discussion of subjects of a different nature from those covered in the classroom. The club, which is open to Pembroke as well as Brown students, heard Brown professors address the groun at its moathly meetings. Programs have in- cluded topics on cancer, safety mechanisms of the body, dietary self-selection, osteopathic medicine, neu- roanalysis, snakes in the laboratory, and metamorpho- sis in insects. A special feature in the club's program was a talk on sterility by Dr. Joseph Smith of the Providence Public Health Department. Information concerning pre-medical requirements and medical schools was also made available to club members. However, the club does not engage exclu- sively in the academic field. It has had many social events in which dances and picnics were included as part of a well balanced calendar.

Brown University, ever since the Civil War, has been a pioneer in the teaching of engineering. The Brown Engineering Society was dormant for many years, but recently it has experienced a re- birth. This rebirth manifested itself quite mark- edly at the annual dinner in 1953. At this affair, the society sponsored scholarships were announced and gifts were donated to the university. The society is composed of various national so- cieties, such as the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the American Society of Civil Engi- neers, and the American Soceity of Mechanical Engineers. The Brown Engineering Society serves to coordinate these organizations in providing a common social and technical meeting ground. As with every organization which carries its activities beyond college, the Brown Engineering Society of- fers great advantages to the job-seeker. Field trips, an annual dance, and a Spring outing are among the numerous functions through which the so- ciety succeeds in attaining its objectives and which makes it such an important part of the Brown community.

The Brown chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers provides an opportunity for the beginnings of professional associations. Member- ship in the chapter assures that contacts can be made with the technical and professional progress for civil engineering and with the leaders who are responsible for such progress. Even more impor- tant, membership offers the chance to take part in the constructive activities carried on by the future leaders of the profession. The chapter sup- plements the regular class and laboratory work and is the means of relating the professional de- velopment of student to national achievements of ASCE. At Brown, students interested in civil en- gineering are therefore able to participate in a national organization of civil engineers. The or- ganization has provided the world with a preview to progress from 1880, when it discussed an inter- oceanic canal, until today, when it i1s discussing such ideas as electronic surveying.

Spe- cial attention this year is being directed toward the presentation of original papers both at the branch meetings and at the regional conference. Subject mat- ter for these papers is gathered from frequent visits to nearby plants and factories and from actual experi- E1nce. In 1951 interested undergraduates at Brown es- tablished a joint American Institute of Electrical Engineers and Institute of Radio Engineers. That same year the ATEE group was recognized by the national institute, while the following year brought approval for the IRE on a national basis. The joint society at Brown is interested in con- tributing to the technical and gencral develop- ment of engineering students in these fields. Con- tacts made in these student groups are later val- uable for job opportunities. Through these organ- izations, student engineers are also given the ben- clit of association with the best professional men in their fields. 1 he publications of the national organizations continually stress the country's progress in the liclds of electrical and radio engineering he stu- dent groups at Brown serve to keep their menm- bers well informed as to the latest developments in the industry and provide leaders for future ad- vancement in the engineering field. l'ront row, left to right: Enoch, Gergora, Marcotte chairman, Lyons, Regan.

The History Club at Brown was organized shortly after World War II to provide an extra outlet for students who desired to treat topics of general historical interest. It was first conceived purely as a discussion group, but today the club presents outside speakers who deliver short papers of historical interest. Still existing on a somewhat informal basis, the History Club now has between thirty and forty members, including graduate and undergraduate students. The club was headed this year by Mack Thompson and Caleb Woodhouse. The faculty advisor is Professor Chester Kirby. In 1953-54, the members of the History Club heard talks by Irving Bartlett, professor of history at R.I.C.E., on The Attitude Toward the United States in Pakistan; Kurt Vollmer, a graduate student at Brown, on The Moroccan Crisis of 19057; Donald Fleming, professor of history at Brown, on The Whig Interpretation of History; Joseph King of Boston College on The Vice-Ad- miralty Courts in Colonial Boston; and J. A. Hextor, professor of history at Queens College, on A New Framework for Social History. The Math Club, one of the oldest departmental M A T H c l B clubs on campus, was organized in January, 1916, and first met at Pembroke College. Functioning with- out officers, the club meetings were conducted by a informal manner afterwards. This relationship exists prominent member of the Math Department. This today. Topics are discussed which are not part of the enabled members of the faculty and their wivestoat- classroom lectures. Students present papers and proj- tend the meetings to meet with the members in an ects and hear outside speakers on mathematical topics. ne Spanish Club, which was founded in 1936, seeks to bring all interested students into contact with the His- panic world, its people, language, culture, and civili- zation. The programs of the bi-weekly meetings in- clude illustrated lectures on Hispanic painting and music, illustrated talks by students, faculty or guest speakers on their travels or activities in Hispanic coun- SPANISH CLUB FRENCH CLUB tries, and analyses of contemporary movements. Latin American dances and songs are included at the club's socials and Spanish is spoken. An annual outing, the gastronomically unique paclla, rounds out the year. Thus the Spanish Club succeeds in fostering student interest in Spain and the Spanish-speaking countries through an extremely varied program. The I'rench Club is known to have existed at Brown as early as 1900. Its original formal pur- pose has endured since its founding: to offer in- tersted students a chance to develop a greater un- derstanding and appreciation of the French lan- guage through conversation and reading, and to analyze the customs and culture of the French people and their land. In 1939, Professor Albert Salvan of the Mod- ern Language Department undertook the faculty advisorship of this organization and has helped to further it in this capacity ever since. During the war, the French Club once known as Le Cercle Francais, suffered a decline, but it revived strongly thereafter and is quite active to- day. Among the diversions and recreations which this group currently offers its members are lec- tures by guest speakers, song fests, art films and travelogues, occasional outings, and conversa- tional sessions en francais, of course. The formation of new clubs and organizations at a university 1s a fairly clear index of the increase of stu- dent interest in problems and activities outside the classroom. One such group which has captured im- mense student following at Brown this year is the In- ternational Relations Club. The club is based on the active participation of both its graduate and undergraduate members in discus- sions on various topics. The role which the different European countries play in the East-West struggle has The Sociology Club was reactivated last February after an absence of several years from the Brown cam- pus. The club sponsored several field trips for its thir- ty-five members, including two visits to the Rhode Island Mental Hospital, a visit to the Bradley Home, a children's psychiatric hospital, and a trip to the Rhode Island School for the Deaf. 121 received marked attention this year. The sociological, political, historical, and economic standpoints of each major European country are represented by a student having special interest or knowledge of the subject. The discussion is called, rather appropriately, La Troisieme Force. In its brief history, the club has made considerable progress, afliliating itself with such organizations as The World Affairs Council of Rhode Island, the Eng- lish Speaking Union, and the Association of Interna- tional Relations Clubs. SOCIOLOGY CLUB Speakers during the past year included Professor Harold Pfautz of the Sociology Department, who spoke on The Prospects of McCarthyism as a Social Movement, and Mr. Lawrence Spitz, Sub-Director of the Steel Workers of America.

Under his care are such specific matters as the direction of weekly chapel services, the general over- seeing of the functions of the Brown Christian Asso- ciation, and the relations of neighboring churches to the Univerity He is alwo available a good part of the time in his office in Faunce House to those students who may wish advice on persanal problems. He rep- tesents the University in the comnunity through his talks, and devotes some of his time to teaching. Yet the office of Chaplain did not exist on the Brown campus until after 1937. Before Henry M. Wriston, each president of the University was a mem- ber of the clerpy and performied these functions in a lesser form himself. The first man whom President Wiitton appointed to fill the post was Dr. Arthur Washburn, who retired in 1946. The next Chaplain was Dr. William Robbins of Brown's Biblical Litera. ture Department, who, because of his academic re- sponsibilities, was unable to devote full time to the po- sition. Reverend Reckard was appointed in July of 1952 and has done much to make the office of Chap- lain a most vital one in this University. His office has become an important independent agency which serves the spiritual needs of the entire Brown student body. The Brown Chapel Choir, now under the leader- ship of Professor William Dinneen of the Music De- partment, has become an extremely popular and ac- tive organization on campus. It now numbers between fifty and sixty student participants. This group pre- sents the anthems and leads the student body in the singing of the hymns and doxologies in the chapel services held on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of each week. Their musical accompaniment has added much to this University function. Aside from the music which they bring to the cam- pus in chapel, the choir also gives several regular con- certs during the year. This year it provided the musical entertainment at the Annual Men's Fellowship of Windham County, Connecticut, while it also gave a winter concert in which it was joined by the Pem- broke Chapel Choir. The Choir has played a major role in the series of Vesper Services which have been given at Sayles Hall on various Sundays during this year. It is also interesting to relate that this organization has made recordings for the College Chapel Choir Series, a program broadcasted over the Mutual Net- works each Sunday afternoon of the school year.

Its semi-monthly meetings, standing speakers mterpret the faith of the church to contemporary problems and encourage intellectual as well as spiritual growth. As part of the National Canterbury Association, the group realizes its responsibility in the college com- munity. It holds Holy Communion for both students and faculty and joins with the Brown Christian Asso- ciation in soclal projects. which are open to all, affords undergraduates an op- portunity to enrich their knowledge of Christian Sci- ence. The meetings and the religious services held by the club also create a closer bond of friendship among Christian Scientist students.

The Newman Club is an organization of Roman Catholic culture which offers a balanced presentation of religious, social, and intellectual activities. Increased student spirituality and deepened reli- gious convictions are desired through an atmosphere conducive to Roman Catholic action. The student members come to know each other through Commun- ion breakfasts and dances. The first Newman Club was founded in America in 1893. Since then over threc hundred and fifty such groups have been formed. The Brown Newman Club originated through the efforts of several undergraduates and the Reverend Thomas Kelly in 1937. Father Kelly presided over the club's religious activities. Father John Farley has guided the club since 1950. The Newman Club hopes for a resident chaplain to further a more intimate relationship and constant in- terest among its members. 127 AR R R R D HILLEL FOUNDATION 128 Seated, left to right: Blazar, Rabbi Rosen, Orodenker presi- dent. Standing: Resnic, Herzog, Perlman, Pienkny, Miss Co- hen, Furman, Seiden, de Graaf, Zieselman, Cohen, Barenboim, Winkler. In 1947 the Hillel Foundation at Brown was founded and Rabbi Nathan N. Rosen was appointed as its advisor. The first few years of Hillel evinced slow progress, but after a while the group grew until now it is a thriving, active organization. Hillel's purpose, to integrate the spiritual and cul- tural values of the Jewish religion with the life of the University, is attained through the function of its many activities. In educational fields, Hillel members participate in religious observances, discussion groups, lecture forums, and language classes. The recreational projects include the Hillel Players, the Hillel singers, and the television program which is produced once a vear over WJAR-TV in Providence, as well as the group's many dinners and dances. In the compara- tively few years that Hillel has been on the Brown camnpus it has grown to be an important part of the religious and social life of its members. STUDENT ADVISORY E COMMITTEE ey 129 The Student Advisory Program came into being in 1952 through the interest and initiative of Brown un- dergraduates. The purpose of the program is to sup- plement but not replace the faculty counseling system; to assist the student in his adjustment to college; to stimulate the student to greater awareness of what Brown has to ofler; and to make the student a more positive and more active member of the Brown stu- dent body, thereby making his college years more fruitful. Academic, extracurricular, and personal ficlds are discussed by the junior and senior counselors in order to suggest a solution to their advisees prob- lems. The achievements of this program in the past two years, as seen in the marked academic improve- ment, have truly been outstanding.

The aim of the forum is to discuss important col- lege problems, pertinent to the participating schools. The emphasis of the Council is on analyz- ing questions with regard to the advantages of the particular school's machinery in coping with these problems. The members of the forum thus evolve many ideas on various aspects of campus life which can be taken back to their respective col- leges. The forum last year contributed many ideas to Brown which were later incorporated in the pro- posed Honor Code. Since these and many other favorable suggestions were gained last year eigh- teen schools attended the Forum again this year. Special emphasis was placed on student govern- ment, the intellectual aspect, the honor System, fraternities, freshman orientation, occupational placement, student-faculty relations, and the place of religion on campus.

The In- terdormitory Council, formed in March 1952, was established to perform this function. The council planned to augment school spirit and to stimulate interdormitory social activities. In the realm of interdormitory relations, the council has stimulated the idea of joint dormitory parties and a more unified intramural athletic system. The council hoped to promote student-faculty relation- ships and to cooperate with campus organs. The council further lends its support to community welfare functions. This year marks the beginning of a new era for Interdormitory Council. Plans are now under way to build up the organization within the already es- tablished constitutional mold. An indication of this revealed itself with the passage of a measure to coordinate the social functions of next year's freshman class. Though this is only a slight indi- cation of the era to follow, the Interdormitory Council should begin to make great contributions to the life of students of Brown. s T u D E N T The Student Court, while attempting to enforce the Code of Rules for Student Discipline, holds as its objective the securing of justice for the in- dividual. C o u R T The judges are seniors selected by the Cammarian Club. Through an extensive organization, consisting of investigators, clerks, and attorneys, cases are handled with efficiency and impartiality. This year the Court, in its most outstanding case, ruled that a fraternity is not responsible for an action of an individual member unless such action was performed as a Seated, left to right: Torgan, Borod president fratCmity function. 5 Shaffer, Maddox, Standing: Krivit, Newman, Semonche, Seligson, Abramowitz, Frazier, Peter- son, Arruda, Yatsu. The Rhode Island Iraining Program was orig- R - I - inated as a commission of the Brown Christian Asso- ciation, but this year became a separate organization c o N s E I- I- o R s known as the Brown Youth Guidance Program. Its membership expanded from five to eighty-five mem- bers, with an executive council headed by David Mc- Kendall. The purpose of the organization is to provide ma- ture guidance and companionship to orphans, boys from broken homes, and other underprivileged chil- dren. Each member visits his individual counselee once a week and attempts to assist him in developing his interests whether in sports, art, education, or other fields. The counselors thus receive a practical education in the field of social relations, while they are perform- ing a uselul and necessary service. The program, which is run in connection with the Rhode Island Training School, the Rhode Island Children s Hone, Big Brothers, Inc., and Nickerson House, is one of the finest and most constructive undertakings to appear on the Brown campus.

The class council headed by Oliver Chappell, president, oper- ated smoothly and effectively, while passing many motions which were ben- eficial to the class. Lew Kohn, vice-president, John Nickoll, secretary, and Dick Nathan, treasurer, aided Chappell in forming class policy. One of the council's most noted achievements was the News Letter, which informed both the freshman class and the school what the council had accomplished. In February the Cammarian Club unanimously passed a resolution to allow sophomores with a specific average to operate cars at school. This motion was originally made and passed by the freshman class council. Excellent publicity also enabled the council to sell 113 blazers. Class spirit was evidenced in athletics, both on the intercollegiate and in- tramural levels. Whether it was football, basketball, hockey, or any of the numerous minor sports, team spirit was always high and the attitude of cooperation was prevalent. Freshman dormitories fielded teams in all intra- mural athletics. This spirit to succeed prevailed in the classroom too, as demonstrated by the high academic average compiled by the freshmen. With this ability and mental attitude, the class of 57 should attain a dis- tinguished record at Brown University.

Class of 1957 133 Class of 1956 The class of 1956 continued with the loss of fewer men than any other preceding class in recent history. As Sophomores they became oriented, ma- ture Brown men. Many wore new fraternity pins and thought with a new academic outlook influenced by the end of the Korean war. The Vigilance Committee received high praise for its work in employing a new and con- structive VC policy. The class won the flag rush and squelched freshmen hopeshelicopter included. They were represented on every campus or- ganization and activity, and the members of freshman teams donned var- sity jerseys. New officersLary, Lowrey, Wilenzik, Ryderprovided the class with active leadership. A carefully chosen class council proved to be exacting and conscientious in carrying out its duties. The Sophomores strove for a better plan of inter-class cooperation and established commit- tees to further their contribution to all worthwhile campus activities. With the vast and varied benefits of a year of experience, their judgment was sharper and their unity closer. The workings of a constitution were studied and much effort was devoted toward a program that would make them even firmer in spirit, unity, and position. This is a report of a class proud ol the Brown tradition and intent on sharing in its progress. 134 Front row, left to right: Lary president, Walsh, Smiles, Easton, Daley, Wilenzik.

EpMUND LARY President TroMAas WALKER President The class of 1955 entered its Junior year somewhat reduced in numbers but looking forward to a successful academic season. Well schooled in curriculum matters, the members of the Junior Class entered into their various majors aided by the Faunce House-Class Council co-sponsored lectures by the heads of the different departments. Additional information and advice were provided by the Council's series of speakers from the fields of business, medicine, law, and liberal arts graduate schools. The Class of 1955 certainly did not ignore the social facet of its mem- bers. Spring Weekend, 1954, was directed by members of the Class Coun- cil. May, 1953, was highlighted by the Council's Bootleg Ball on the See- konk. Further social events included the Jinx Harvard Ball in place of the traditional Junior Prom. All three were great successes. Following in the footsteps of many previous classes, the Class of 1955 sold the traditional straw hat skimmers for Spring Weekend. Permanent class officers were elected to direct the class through its re- maining vears at Brown and afterward as alumni. Those elected were Thomas Walker, president; James Egan, vice-persident; John Doc Houk, secretary; and Warren Ilchman, treasurer. The Junior Class and its Council could truly reflect on three excellent years at Brown and could look forward confidently to an incomparable sen- 10T year.

They witnessed the evolution of the Quadrangle; they watched its construction, were among the first to live within its walls, formulated many of the new rules needed, and were the first to fully enjoy its assets. They revitalized the Cammarian Club, and were chiefly responsible for the cre- ation of several new organizations such as the Intercollegate Forum Coun- cil, the Student Advisory Committee, and the Student Counselling Board. The Class Council, besides presenting four successful dances, carried out several important projects, among them the first written class constitution and the first class agent. A new campus and a new curriculum! Dr. Bigelow's ideas were made realities with the installation of the Identification and Criticism of Ideas courses. Progress was the undertone everywhere. With the attainment of uncertain peace, many who had enlisted in their freshman year, at the outbreak of the Koran War, returned to continue their studies. Many of those who had remained were members of the NROTC or the newly installed AFROTC. Highlights of their four years, like the 54 Brown Key Homecoming Brown 28, Harvard 21-were many. This had been the third freshman class in 35 years to win the flag rush and successfully defend the pole the next year. 136 Front row, left to right: Corney presi- dent, Bradley, R.

Much was gained outside the limits of formal education. Dr. Wriston's chapel talks, the Marshall Woods lectures, career discussions, the Resident Tellows luncheon speeches, Religious Embassy Week, World Affairs Week, and the Intercollegiate Forum Council, all had a broadening effect. From Carrie Tower to the City Hall, from the Brown Jug to Mike's Diner, their presence was felt in the city. Trips to the flicks, the hockey games, the Bacchante Room, and the symphony helped form the Whole Man. Captains Murgo, Haverty, Vietz, Pettit, Whitlock, and Brisco guided their varsity teammates with a spirit that will be well remembered. Not to be overlooked were the hardfought battles on the intramural field. Six- time winners on the College Quitz Bowl Woodhouse and McCormick, Hopkins of the I.F.C., Roth of the Cammarian Club, Thomas of the Board of Governors, and many other capable men constituted the class of 1954, led by presidents Ashby Dean, Cedge Barksdale, and Alan Corney. After the job interviews, the comps, the graduate exams and the last finals, they were reminded when thinking of Flattop or when looking upon old Brunonia Hall and the parking lots where once the old fraternity houses had stood that the change had been great. On June 7, Commencement Day, as the class passed through Van Wickle gates, their thoughts were not only upon the happenings of four of the finest years of their lives, but also upon the foundation obtained there for the coming years of opportunity, growth, and achievement. . juniors make ready for increased responsibility. Brown can be proud of having one of the finest Na- val Reserve Officers Training Corps in the country. A large portion of Brown men are enrolled in the corps as either contract or regular midshipmen and take cight scmesters of naval science. During the summer the regular midshipmen take cruises or are sent to camps to become acquainted with different types of warfare. The contract midshipmen take only one cruise and that after their junior year. Aside from the courses of instruction and the week- ly drill periods, the members of the unit indulge in various extra-curricular activities which serve to mold them into competent young officers. The drill team, comprised of volunteer members of the unit, delighted the crowd at Homecoming with an exhibition of precision marching. The drill team A taste of salt. USS COLUMBUS, Cruise Charlie. Four years of earnest work . . . and the unit as a whole also marched through down- town Providence in the annual Armistice Day parade. The Brunavians was organized to coordinate the social and athletic activties of the midshipmen. They sponsored several dances throughout the year includ- ing two formals. The club also entered teams in all the major intramural sports. One of the more impor- tant functions of the Brunavians is to bring the mem- bers of the unit into closer relationship with the Navy and Marine Corps officers who are their instructors. . to achieve this. The unit also has a rifle team which enters in com- petition with other collegiate naval units. A practice range 1s maintained in the basement of Lyman Hall. A periodical newspaper was put out by the mid- shipmen, and an improved yearbook, which serves as arecord of the year's many accomplishments. After completing their courses of study at Brown, the midshipmen receive commissions as ensigns and enter the service to bring honor to their school and to their country. . s Dress right, Dress! In the summer of 1951 the United States Air I'orce received permission from the University to establish a Reserve Officer Training Corps unit at Brown. The headquarters were placed in lower Maxcy but were moved the following year to the basement of Sayles Hall. The AFROTC unit at Brown goes far beyond the bare minimum of an ROTC group. It has ex- panded its activities into fields outside the classroom and the drill field. The reason that the unit at Brown has had so much success outside of its regular requirements is due to a certain common bond among all the members of the unit. As closely as one can trace it, this bond stems from the fact that the group is organized voluntarily which is unlike units at land grant universities where membership in ROTC units is compulsory. Because of its voluntary nature, it was conducive for the group to take active participation in other fields. The success of its early endeavors enabled the unit to expand even further than was originally contem- plated. This expansion has manifested itself on the athletic field, in social functions, and in charitable work, such as the Red Cross Blood Drive. An out- standing accomplishment of the unit in 1953 was the publishing of an AFROTC newspaper, Wing Tips, which was ranked among the top of all similar Air 140 N, 5 50 i Toward the field; an afternoon's entertainment. I'orce publications throughout the country. The same esprit de corps that has made possible the success of such projects as these, has helped to build a drill team, which placed second among those of a number of eastern universities. Under the expert guidance of the units' staff, headed by Colonel Bryan Harper, the AFROTC has contributed much to the University and has given much to the students enrolled in the program.

Brown is a fraternity college.

However, the era was characterized by the arrival of many new social asso- ciations. Houses became the goal after 1885, and the general era was denoted for the strengthening and elimination of many chapters. At one time, twenty- two fraternities were present at Brown. The 1940s found many houses in navy garb and the entire fra- ternity system went through its most trying period. From 1945 on, Brown fraternities started a journcy that was to end in a whole new conception of the so- cial organization. President Wriston announced to the Corporation a plan to build a Quadrangle to house all seventeen Brown fraternities. Construction of the Quadrangle produced a new residential and fraternal Brown.

Under a flowing banner of scarlet, white, and green, Beta Alpha prospered with the able, marine leadership of its first semester president, Evan Rowe, and his senior staff of Edward Beadle and Pat Nes. ci, as vice-presidents; Richard Farley, treasurer; and William Benford, secretary. In the second semester fifey-eight brothers and pledees followed the classic direction of Pat Nesci, president; Vince Genua and Socrates Mihalakos, vice-presidents; Robert Young, treasurer; and John Burroughs, secretary. The spirit engendered during the year reflected itself in the activities of the house.

LAMBDA Iota Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha was established on the Brown campus in 1912, slightly less than six months after national expansion had been initiated from the parent chapter at Boston University. This year, our forty-second on the hill, has been one of satisfaction to us all. We have finally begun to feel at home in the Quadrangle and have practically completed the job of adapting the physical plant to our needs. On the social side of the agenda, as usual, no opportunity for a good time has been over- looked. Some of che more prominent parties were on Homecoming Weekend, the Christmas formal, and IFC and Spring Weekends. All of which will be remembered very favorably.

Since that time it has established forty active chapters. The Rhode Island Phi chapter was lounded in 1929, At the present time there are fifty-five active brothers and twenty-one pledges. Once again Pi Lamb was active in all phases of campus life, The house was scholastic leader and its intramural teams fared excellently in interfraternity competition. The officers for the fall semester were Al Corney, Rex; Dick Kaufman, Archon; Mike Drabb, Treasurer; and Herb Newman, Secretary.

PSI Founded in 1844 the Sioma chapter of Psi Upsilon has been in continual existence longer than any other fraternity at Brown. Within its long alumni ranks are found many prominent figures, one of which, Senator Theodore F. Green, delivered the honorary address at the Faunce House bicentennial this winter. The beginning of the year saw the fraternity completely adjusted to life in the Quadrangle and en- thusiastic in the continuation of previous policies: cooperation with the University, a hish level of scholastic effort and attainment, and an active maintainance of alumni relations. The result of this program was a good year for the Sigma. Under presidents O'Brien, secretary of the LE.C., and Petune, life at Psi U. ran smoothly through- PERT Front row, left to right: O'Brien, Bell, Cobb, Quinby, Flather, Simpson, Funsten, Donaldson, McGown.

The lounge, new or old, was seldom quiet on weekends. The Homecoming formal and a combined party with Phi Delra Theta highlighted the fall social season while Sweetheart Weekend, at which the 94 Sweetheart of Sigma Chi was crowned, topped the list of spring events. I Dreamt I Beat Holy Cross in My Maidenform Bra'l was the cry all over campus after the Sigs' poster on this theme was awarded third place in the annual Homecoming competition.

Maxwell 179 The Inter-Fraternity Council exists for the purpose of furthering the col- lective interests of the fraternities at Brown University, insuring good will among them, and providing a means for governing their mutual concerns. The council also serves as a liaison between the university administration and the fraternities, for in its meetings problems of concern to both can be effectively discussed. The membership of the council consists of the president and an elected or appointed representative of each fraternity. Throughout the year the members of the council serve on various committees which are set up to study some of the major problems arising in the council. One of the most effective committees in the past was the Restrictive Clause Committee which succeeded in getting the backing of all seventeen fraternities against restrictive clauses in their constitutions. A major concern to the council is the formulation of a sound rushing program and the establishment of rules to govern fraternity-freshman rela- tionships. A rushing court is set up each year to try to punish any cases of e 1o illegal rushing. Presently the council is working on a more extended rushing President. period, which will be fairer to both the freshmen and the fraternities.

It offers its members much of the so- cial and fraternal life found primarily in the Greek letter houses, yet at the same time it encourages them to retain whatever individualism and social contact they might lose through joining tighter social organ- izations. The members, who come from increasingly diverse segments of the student body, gather at the club rooms for weekly meetings and social functions. As usual, the club members particularly distin- guished themselves academically, with a first semes- ter average of slightly over 2.9. They were also active in extracurricular activities, heading several of the leading campus organizations. Activities, parties, bills, dances, more billsthese problems are brought into focus daily at the Office of Student Activities, headed by Dean Westcott E. S. Moulton. Over one hundred organizations, including dormitories and fraternities, as well as every social function held on campus are handled by the office. Extracurricular activities have always played an important part in the life of students at Brown. Sam- uel T. Arnold was appointed Supervisor of non-ath- letic activities in 1919 and was highly responsible for the coordination of the various organizations on cam- pus. Today the office has expanded with the increase in the number of organizations since World War II. Each group must be ratified by the Cammarian Club. A faculty advisor is then assigned. Brown men have organized in the past all kinds of clubsfrom bicycle to banjoand the Office of Stu- dent Activities has always aided these undergraduates to broaden their extracurricular interests and cultivate new hobbies.

It is certainly remarkable that in five years time the famed old quotation could well be stated, Applaud the Jabberwocks. Starting in 1949 as part of the Glee Club, an informal quartet built up its reputation to rank with the leading groups of its kind in the country. The Jabberwocks, now a singing group ranzing from eight to eleven singers, had made enormous strides. Their popularity grew so rapidly from their creation that in 1953 the group re- cetved University permission to become an indepen- dent organization. As they exist today, the Jabberwocks are self-suffi- cient. They are now in a position to perform many benefit presentations along with their numerous visits to women's colleges, including such schools as Smith, Wellesley, and Connecticut College for Women. The Jabberwocks have speeded their popularity by vary- ing the type of numbers and by employing lengthy and intricate arrangements. Last year the group dis- played their fine singing on a long playing record which included the popular Never Throw a Lighted Lamp at Mother and their theme song, Halls of Ivy.

VIGILANCE COMMITTEE The Vigilance Committee is annually composed of the most active members of the Sophomore class who attempt to orient and indoctrinate the freshmen in the life and traditions of Brown. In conjunction with their program, a Vigilance Committee court, composed wholly of seniors, was organized this year which aimed at assisting those men who had not been successful in adjusting to their new surroundings. Generally, the program was extremely successful in stimulating the freshmen to an increased spirit and love for their col- lege. The spontaneous orderly mass march and sere- nade of Pembroke, which was led by an unidentified trumpeter, and the colorful traditional Freshman- Sophomore flag rush were indicative of the achieve- ment of this year's Vigilance Committee.

In additicn to sponsoring football rallies and acting as host to visiting teams, the Key strives to promote and integrate class spirit by helping in the orientation of freshmen and in enforcing freshmen rules. Part of the team that achieved . .. these results. CHEER LEADER 188 The Cheerleaders are composed of a group of ener- getic Brown men who are devoted to the purpose of promoting the spirit of the student body and alumni. They are synonymous with the athletic season and contribute much to its success whether Brown wins or loses. In conjunction with the part which they play in the expression of school spirit, the Cheerleaders also participate in the orientation of new students during Freshman Week and contribute much to the careful preparation and enthusiastic promotion of the rallies during the fall. They have helped spark these events with guest speakers, members of the football team and coaching staff, athletic department officials, and enter- tainers. The Cheerleaders also open the year's social activities with the traditional Rally Dance prior to the opening game. They enliven the athletic season with a Ki-Yi-Yi and infuse the whole campus with the spirit of Brown. This year was a busy one for the Brown Band. Led by its President, Joe Dickinson and its Director, Pro- fessor Martin Fischer, it participated in a great va- riety of musical activities. This group performed at the home football games as well as several of those which were played at other schools. They marched and presented formations on the field and played in an informal ensemble at all of the rallies. During the winter season the Band performed sev- eral concerts of light music on the campus and in the general Providence area. These werc well received and encouraged the organization to balance more fully its yearly activities by initiating a heavier concert sea- som. A band on the Brown campus i1s known to have existed as early as 1831 and was one of the first mu- sical ensembles of any kind affiliated with the Univer- sity. By 1872, it had become a formal organization, which played for such affairs as Commencement and University banquets. . against a backdrop of excitement. BAND They played their music . . .

August of 53, and the magazine stands were filled with football annuals optimistically calling Brown's gridders anything from the hydrogen bomb of the East,? to the sleeper or dark horse of the Ivy League. Coach Alva Kelley and his team were not so confident. The material was there, and it was good. But it was inexperienced. And so September 26 came, and with it the first Saturday of football. The Lord Jeffs of Amherst be- gan their undefeated season by startling the Bruins in the 75th anniversary game of the rivalry by coming from a 6-0 deficit to win 7-6. The visitors did it along the ground, although Brown led in total offense with 275 yards to 259. The Bruins, despite the efforts of Ev Pearson, who scored from three yards out in the first period, and Jim McGuinness on defense, didn't G begin to show their potential strength. e It was New Haven, the Yale Bowl, and the team that led the nation in defense for several weeks. But the Bruin line was not outplayed, and the tightness of the battle was broken only by the collapse of our de- fensive backfield. Brown penetrated Eli territory sev- eral times, one of these drives being climaxed by Jack But you still run into a swarm of deter- mined dark jerseys. The Bruins dig in, Line big, steady, and strong. The wall will not be penetrated. So go around them Crowd filing out at New Haven, as the Bruin lunges desperately. Ah, come on Crunchy, you can do it. Orton's catch of a would be touchdown pass leap- ing out of the end zone. The score was 13- Another Saturday came; and it left as frustrating as the previous two. The University of Rhode Island did the impossible and upset the Bruins for the second year in a row. Little All-American Pat Abbruzzi put on a beautiful exhibition of running, through the mid- dle and around the outside. And the sleeper New Brunswick, N. J., October 17 . . slept on. . He thrilled the crowd; he startled the New York sportswriters; he ruined Rutgers; and his name is Thompson. The Zip- per, heralded as one of the outstanding freshman backs in the East last year, came into his own as a var- sity competitior by scoring twice and making several spectacular gains. The Bruins trailed by two touch- downs early in the contest, but led 21-20 at intermis- sion, and ended the game possessors of a 27-20 vic- tory.

It could have been bigger and better, but . . . It was Homecoming Weekend, and, well after all Brown did upset Harvard last Homecoming, And this was heavily favored Holy Cross. But from the outset of the gamie, the Brown team was inspired. The Purple grew dizzy from Thompson's and Zucconi's whirlwind running. Still it was scoreless. Then with but six min- utes left, tackle Bill Klaess picked Crusader Bill Ha- leys fumble out of the air and raced 82 long yards to a touchdown. So the crowd was limp from the excite- ment of that overcast afternoon, and the scoreboard was bright. Brown had won, 6-0. remembered the pre-season predictions. This was Brown football as it should be. Harvard Stadium, and a cold, gray setting for the annual meeting between the Cantabs and the Bruins. And the usual dramatics of this rivalry came forth, electrifying the 21,000 spectators. Clasby, Culver, and Lowenstein were too much for the Bruins until mid- way through the third quarter. At this point the score was 27-7. Then, sparked by the passing of Ko- hut, the running of Pearson, Zucconi, Thompson and Captain Haverty, and the alert line playing of John O'Brien and Pete Bartuska the Brown machine began to roll. It was 27-20 when Ev Pearson hit the Crimson Always get that mood indigo , It's scoreless, but The Cross is moving. Over confidence might have weakened the Bruin forces when they entered Palmer Stadium. At 3:32 of the first period, Brown enjoyed a 6-0 lead as Pecter Kohut hit Dave Zucconi with a 29 yard aerial, and Zoo raced the remaining 28 yards for the score. But Princeton stars Homer Smith, Royce Flippen, and Frank Agnew led a second half upsurging of the Tiger offense, and our defense collapsed. I'inal: 27-13. They came on the field determined. Playing razzle- dazzle football, the Bruins overpowered and crushed the University of Connecticut 42-7. Don Thompson put on the most devastating one man attack the Prov- idence rooters had seen in years, scoring three times and executing numerous spectacular runs. The play of Zucconi and Kohut was also thrilling, the former scoring twice, and the latter completing 8 out of 13 passes for 112 yards and three touchdowns. We 200 forward wall on the goal line. Most of the audience thought he was over . . . And so the Bruins had lost; and there was only one left. Thanksgiving morning and with it a strong Colgate team. Surprising the visitors by scoring on Reilly's recovery of a blocked pitchout in the end zone, the Brunonians led 7-0 until the final period when Raider Gary Chandler plunged over from the two-foot line. As neither team showed their offensive strength, the Turkey Day classic lacked the excitement of pre- vious years. Thus it ended 7-7, and with it the 1953 SEasor. No, the team didn't win 7 out of 9, and the bomb didn t really explode. But the strength and team play against Rutgers, Holy Cross, Cionnecticut, and Har- vard featured the talents of sophomores and juniors, and the Kelleymen concluded a season that laid the ground work for the rise of a gridiron power.

TRAWEY Coach Matt gives Captain Skip a pointer. Treshmen FOOTBALL These are the bous for the future. They come up as sophomeres and that's when vyou really see them play. This lreshnian team was not quite as strong as the two preceding it It didn 't match Matt Bolger's 1952 club. The men played hard, but lacked that ever vital scoring punch. There was spirit throughout the season. It was the important offense that bogged down. Alter an opening game tic with Worcester Acadeny, the Cubs defeated the University of Rhode Island freshmen by a score of 7-0. Captain Lester Skip Mathieson, a big triple threat back, played brilliant foothall on both offense and defense to lead his team. The Huskies from the University of Cennecticut played a hard-charg- ing brand of ball, but Brown edged them 1413 As in varsity play, scor- ing drives would begin, but would not be sustained. The detrimental factor of lack of size caught up with the yearlings in their final three contests. Spirit just wasn't enough. Yale, Harvard, and Massachusetts overwhelmed the Cubs in the final periods. Thus the vic- 3 tories of last year's wonder team were avenged. Bolger s coaching, the experience received and the fact that they will grow, will make these pigskinners useful when they move on up. The var- sity 1s waiting for them now.

Handicapped by a lack of depth, the Brown varsity soccer squad man- aged to win only two of its nine games. With only five days of practice, the booters plunged into their contest with Wesleyan. The Bruins defen- sive play was satisfactory, but inaccurate passing prevented their organiz- ing a concentrated attack necessary for scoring goals. Early in the season Brown was unfortunately weak in the halfback posts where three men with no varsity experience were played. The loss of half- back Cebe Habersky, last year's leading scorer, was a severe handicap. Tony Barron, who had the difficult task of replacing him, was an inspira- tion to the team with his spirit and hustle. Fullbacks Ken Chambers and Doc Houk played consistently fine games throughout the season and furnished excellent protection for goalie Joe Sheffer. The attack, composed of co-captains Chuck Gesen, and Chic Swanson, along with Dave Bullock, Jim Corbridge, and Danny Chu, started func- tioning smoothly about mid-season. During the Brandeis game they ex- ploded with five goals, two credited to Gesen. Although this game pro- duced the most Bruin goals, the team's best play was displayed the pre- vious week against Massachusetts. The score for this one, Brown 3U.

Charlie Flather and Adrian Ise placed sixth and seventh. Yale set the Brown harrier squad down handily, 59-15. Harvard likewise had no difficulty in presenting the Bears a crushing 49-15 defeat. Adrian Ise again was the first Brown man to finish, fol- Jowed by Flather and co-captains Bill Reid and Tom Tritschler. In the seasons only triangular meet, the Bruin harriers edged Holy Cross by one point while placing second behind MIT. In the midst of a blizzard in Van Courtland Park in New York, the Brown harriers, struggled to a ninth place in the Heptagonal cross- country championships. Covering the five mile course in 28:25, Bill Reid took 26th place. In the New England Intercollegiates at Boston's Franklin Park, Brown was able to salvage only a fourteenth place in a fifteen school field by edging Tufts.

The Brown ski team closed out their season in third position in the New England Intercollegiate Ski Conference, held at Inter- vale, New Hampshire. Ray Fox led the skiers with a fourth place, while Bill Polleys, Captain Sumner Young and Pete Rosenfeld rounded out the scoring. In the opener, Brown bested a ten man field including Princeton and Harvard. In the next two meets, sponsored by Northeastern and Tufts, the Bruin skiers gained third places. At Thorn Moun- tain, New Hampshire, Brown emerged victorious in the downhill slalom. Ray Fox has consistently placed first for the Bruins, although at times both Bill Polleys and Dave Bell, who was injured the latter part of the season, have finished in front of him. Sumner Young, the next years chairman of the league, has done well all season, as has Pete Rosenfeld and Dave Willis. All but two members of the team, Bill Polleys and David Bell, will be returning next year. 205 JouN FARRELL, Left Wing. Co-Captains Dick Pettit and Art Vietze. Northeastern closes in. Despite lack of adequate practice, Brown managed to capture the opener by a 4-3 margin over Boston University on December 4. Enthu- siasm and hopes grew as hard, fast skating Bruin sextet trounced an over-powered Northeastern teamn 7-2. Paced by the flashy skating of Danny Keefe and the fine goal tending by Dave Halvorson, Brown's hockey team seemed to be living up to expectations. On December 15, the pucksters suffered their first defeat to the high-flying Eagles of Boston College in a real thriller. BEARS FINISH THIRD IN RPI TOURNAMENT . . . a game-saving goal in the last 28 seconds of the Princeton game enabled the Bruin skaters to gain a third in the RPI Invitational Tournament held over Christmas vacation. Brown, pre-tournament favorite to win, was not up to par and lost to Rennselaer the eventual national cham- pions in their opening contest 5-1. Individual honors were gained by Brown's Dick Pettit and Dan Keefe who were named on the All-Tourney second team. The Bears scored an easy victory over the Friars of Providence Col- lege 7-3. More surprising and pleasing was the 8-2 conquest over Yale the following Saturday. The fast, tricky skating of Zipper Thompson, Dan Keefe, and co-captain Art Vietze, produced an offense which led the team to a great scoring thrust. Spectacular defensive play was turned i by Bob Borah, and goalie Dave Halvorson. Still on a scoring rampage the high-flying Bruin sextet swamped the Huskies of Northeastern 10-3.

The Brown hoopsters opened their 1953-54 season with initial wins over Ambherst and Northeastern. This put the team in the right frame of mind to take on their first Ivy opponent. This year marked the entrance of Brown into the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League, the league now com- posed of eight teams. Brown's entrance into the Ivy circuit was made good by trouncing Harvard 62-51. This victory was marred somewhat by a subsequent loss to Yale. In the Dartmouth Invitational Tournament dur- ing the Christmas holidays, the Bruin quintet, after losing to Uconn, was adjudged consolation champion, following wins over Colby and Middle- Up and over in the sinking of the Big Green. blll y. Returning to their regular season, the Brown varsity went on to down R.I.U., only to lose to Cornell before a crowd of over five thousand at Ithaca a few days later. Ed Tooley's work under the boards in the follow- ing game gave Brown a 68-64 edge over Providence College. Poor defense, however, cost the Bruins losses to Princeton and Pennsylvania. As the machine rolls on, another notch is adde The Eli and Bruin worship the Casaba Sun. Hard luck seemed to follow the Bears, as the following five encounters resulted in losses to Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Columbia, and Penn. Inability to clear the rebounds off their defensive backboards cost the Bruin hoopsters several verdicts in what were all closely fought contests, Brown never losing by more than several points. Lou Murgo and Ed Tooley led the scoring, but lack of good defensive play marred their efforts. Charlie Blankfort turned in a good showing when playing against a zone defense. In the Penn encounter Tooley did an outstanding job on defense, while Murgo twice brought the Bruins from a seven point deficit in the last quarter to tie the score at 65-65. Brown lost the overtime on fouls as Penn scored ten out of twelve. The Brown varsity took its second win of the season over Harvard, by defeating the Cantabs 76-61. Captain Murgo paced the Bruins with twenty-seven points. His scoring ability was hampered by the tight defense of Cornell in the following game. Cornell took a 69-53 decision. Going into the final round of encounters, the Bruins showed marked improve- ment over the mediocrity of their past games by winning over Columbia, Providence College, and Rhode Island. The 90-74 win over the Rams not only gave Brown the State Championship, but a new Bruin scoring record. In the finale of the year, the quintet kept rolling, and edged Dartmouth, 74-71. It was the last court appearance for the greatest Brunonian cage star, Lou Murgo, and his fine coach, Bob Morris, who ended their careers with a 13-11 season. Highlights of the year: the two decisive victories over Harvard, Lou Murgo's every point raises the record, the inspired play of Rebel Arnold, Ed Tooley's winning of the Woody Grimshaw Trophy, sophomore support by Merritt, Gerould, Campisi, Lubin and Smith.

WRESTLING Although without the support of two consistent winners, last year's co-captains Dana Eastham and Angus MacLean, the Brown team boasts some fine wrestlers. Joe Muse, Mike McSherry, and Jim Kur- fess have been outstanding throughout the season, while Frank Yatsu and Gordon Webster and Don Sei- fert have been improving steadily. This year's record may be attributed to lack of experience. The opener for the Bruins was an impressive victory over Wesleyan, by a lop-sided tally of 22-8. Joe Muse grappled to a guillotine pin over Weselyan's George Edwards for five points, while teammates Yatsu, Jim Harrell, Captain Buzz Samsel, and Don Seifert gained decisions over their opponents. Jim Kurfess was awarded a default, adding five more points to the total. Kurfess decisioned his Columbia opponent the fol- lowing week to put Brown in the lcad, 3-0. However 210 the Lions rallied, and held Brown the rest of the way, registering a 21-3 victory. The Bruins lost a close fight to the Harvard Can- tabs, by a slim 16-12 count. Mike McSherry, Muse, Samsel and Seifert gained decisions over their foes, but lack of depth prevented a victory in the one more bout needed to clinch the encounter. Hofstra College, in Long Island, felt the Bear's teeth the following week as Brown chewed a 21-13 hole in the New York college's record. Kurfess, Muse and Seifert managed to pin their opponents, while three other teammates received decisions over the Long Island squad. Princeton provided the closest match, pointwise, of the entire season. With Kinter, McSherry and Seifert scoring, Brown fought hard, but finally succumbed 16-13 to a well-balanced Tiger squad.

Samsel secured his man with a reverse bar and chancery, while Seifert used a body press to subdue Dalton. Jim Harrell took a decision to give Brown her thirteen points. The Cadets from West Point put the Bruin wrestlers down, in spite of Muse's body press on Randall for a pin, and decisions by Kurfess and Yatsu. Muse added another fall to his record as he pinned his Eli opponent, while teammate Seifert contributed another five points, finishing Riley with a double arm bar. In a late season match, Yatsu and Seifert gained decisions for six points, Brown's only scorers in a 24- 6 battle with Springfield. Yatsu vs. Yale. Its almost over. Roll off that mat! Ease those shoulders into place. 211 SWIMMING The swimmers started off the season by beating Columbia by the same score as last vear 4341 Alter this close contest at New York, the team traveled to Philadelphia to take the water against Pennsyhvania who defeated them 50-34. Following these two meets, Harvard and Yale, the titans of the eastern swimming circles, beat Brown by lopsided scores. The mid-season high point after losses to Williams and Springfield was the Connecticut nicet as the Bruins remained in the contest right down to the final relay before they lost 48.36. With Brown having it best chance for the victory in the relay, Connecticut, who was to win ten meets this year, was forced to go all-out. Dick Foeelson had climbed out of the pool just five minutes before the start after winning his second distance event of the day, the grueling 440. Captain Ralph Brisco, a great conipetitor who had previously won two sprint events, was exhausted after turning in another creditable hundred. These and the loss of sophomore sprinter, Joel Kane, who was in- cligible second semester, was a deciding factor in this meet. The final meet of the season, a 45-39 triumph over MIT was engineered by the double victories of Brisco, Fogelson, and Pierce. Ronnie Wills also starred in this meet winning the breast-stroke and finishing second in the medley. This display of power was the team's outstanding performance of the season. Team captain, Ralph Brisco, who holds most of the sprint records at Brown, had another great year. Undefeated all season in the fifty yard free style, he lost only to Yale's heralded, Sandy Gideonese and Harvard's equally acclaimed, Dave Hawkins, in the hundred. Ralph repeats as an All-American in his senior year. The Rhode Island State champion in the hundred yard free style, he was called upon to take part in three events in almost every mect this year. Dick Fogelson followed right in the steps of last vears captain, Don Cameron, proving himsell a de- pendable distance man. Brisco and Fooclon both scored double victories in the last four meets of the seasorn. Over and over and . . . 212 It's your turn next . . . Another start on the victory road. RonnNIE WILLS.

A hot and cold offense coupled with a sometimes collapsible defense sums up the teams characteristics. To be noted, however, was the outstanding goal tending of Rusty Chandler, former Hotchkiss star. Don Arsenault and George Delaney were also impressive prospects. Front row, left to right: Brown, God- frey, Lamb, Hurley, Stern.

The freshman wrestling team closed their season with three wins and four losses. Against Wesleyan, captain Frank Smith, Alexander, Crews, and Snyder registered pins in a 23-13 triumph. Cranston High School could not match the combined strength of the Bruins and was defeated 28-8. A duel with Providence All-Stars provided the closest match, with the Bruins winning by a slim 16-15 edge. Frank Smith was the only Brown grappler to score a fall. Smith repeated this effort for Brown's lone score against a strong Harvard frosh. In a final encounter, Springfield edged the Cubs 20-14. The season began for the Cubs with impressive wins over Pawtucket West and LaSalle. After the first semester, the team never was able to regain its winning stride due to the ineligible status of its star swimmers and its hard schedule. Potential winners for next year's varsity are: Ed Cowen, a powerful backstroker; sprinter Fred Van Liew, a prep-school All-American last year who should take up the slack of Briscos graduation, and Don Good- win, a dependable man in his 200 yard free style event. Ira Levin and Dick Gordon are two free stylers with much promise. 215 Preshmen WRESTLING Front row, left to right: Newton, Na- than, Gordon, Potter, Levin. Back row: Coach Watmough, Waldman, Leavitt, Sherlock. Preshmen SWIMMING BASEBALL After a slow start the Bruin sluggers put on a terrific winning spurt to round out the season with a record of six wins, six losses, and two ties. The lid blew off the season with a 13-4 loss to the University of Connecti- cut. Columbia, scoring early with three runs in the first inning and one in the second, coasted to an 8-3 win. Rain again was a detriment in the West Point game which was halted after five innings in a 0.0 tie. Ken Moflat, the Brown starting pitcher, hurled creditable ball, but the bats did not ring out the essential hits. The Holy Cross game at Worcester was 4 freescoring eame with Brown getting ten hits three by Karl Rider. 1t was not enough to defeat the powerful Crusaders however. Dartmouth bested Brown in the fifth game 5 1 in spite of the efforts of led Jadick who went two for two. With the season well under way, Coach Lefebvre made some changes in his starting line-up. The result, Brown promptly went on a six game winning streak that was interrupted only by a tie. Dave Zucconi, a fleet ophomore, was placed in center field, Captain John Valinote was shifted from centerfield to second base. Harry Josephson, an outfielder who had e AR P S5 i Front row, left to right: Coach Lefebvre, Roll, Baumgarten, Karb, Ryder, Valinote capt., Moffat, Zucconi, Glass, Tauro, Coukos, King mgr., Price mgr.. Back row: Nesci mgr., Jazwinski, Josephson, Nash, Traynor, Lauber, Murgo, Christopher, Enoch, Carter, Kin- cade, Asselin. 216 never thrown a pitch in varsity competition, was named starting pitcher. As the winning streak progressed, talk about Brown becoming E.I.B.L. champion became more and more prevalent. This was soon squelched when the league officials ruled that all tie games counted as half wins and half losses. In spite of this, it was still a fine comeback by this year's team. Against Rhode Island, Josephson, given his chance to pitch, came through with the first complete game of the season by a Brown pitcher. The hitting stars were Zucconi who drove in the winning run, and John Valinote who hit the longest ball of the gamea triple to right center ficld. The second game of the streak against Yale was decided by one run again, with Brown winning 9-8 after twelve innings. This was a free- hitting game in which Brown got a total of sixteen hits. The leading hitters were: Josephson going 5 for 7; Murgo, 3 for 6; and Zucconi, 2 for 3. John Valinote came through in the clutch to drive in the winning run in the twelfth inning after Zucconi doubled, Murgo walked, and Josephson got his fifth safety. In the next game, Princeton and more rain combined to halt the streak for a 3-3 tie in ten innings. Vin Jazwinski came through with three hits instrumental in scoring the three Brown runs. From here on, Brown sank the Navy under a fifteen hit barrage. Phil Nash's seventh inning single turned the game into a rout, and gave Joseph- son his second victory, 9-4. Captain John Valinote wielded the heavy bat again going 4 for 5. Valinote continued his hitting against U.R.I. with a bases-loaded single in the last of the ninth to give the Bruins their second 4-3 win over the Rams. Ed Kincade pitched the whole game for Brown and got batting support from Al Karb with three straight singles, Nash and Valinote with two hits each, and Murgo with two RBI's. From a 4-3 one run win, the Bruins went to a 9-8 one run win against Pennsylvania. In this game Ken Moffat and Sid Baumgarten combined to do the hurling. At the plate, Valinote went 3 for 3; Jazwinski had two singles and two RBI's; and Murgo came up with a clutch double to supply the offense. The high point of the season was the Cornell game at Aldrich Field which the Bruins won 1-0 on a fine pitching performance by Josephson. This game paired off the league's leading team, Cornell, against the league's hottest, Brown. It was a tensely fought contest all the way. Brown's one run was scored on a single by Nash, two Cornell errors, and a fielder's choice. Harry Josephson, besides pitching a fine three hit shutout, collected two hits in three trips to the plate. The streak was finally ended by P.C. as Brown dropped a 2-1 thriller on an unearned run in the last of the ninth. Ed Kincade pitched all the way for Brown, allowing eight hits while Brown was only getting three. Brown's one run came when Josephson opened with a hit, went to second on an error, and scored when Jazwinski singled him home. 217 TED JaDpICK, Shortstop. JouN VaLiNoTE, Captain.

Brown rebounded to overcome Providence College with ten first places and sweeps in the high jump and hammer. Tom Donaldson gath- ered ten points in the 100 and 220, while Don Seifert was the victor in the shot and hammer, and Charlie McAllister won the high jump and broad jump. Mel Holland, Molineux, and Reid took the 440, 880, and niile. In the field events, Cowan and Reilly rounded out the Bruin first place scoring in the pole vault and discus. Holy Cross conquered Brown by a slim five point margin in winning 70-65. Tom Donaldson and McAllister again registered double wins; Donaldson in the 100 and 220, McAllister in the high and broad jumps. University of Rhode Island handed the Bruin tracksters a 90-45 count.

TENNIS Living up to the high expectations of Coach Art Palmer, the Brown varsity tennis team began its season with a smashing 8-1 victory over the University of Connecticut. Roger King, Ed Ritchie, Cal Woodhouse, and Doc Houk each won their single matches in straight sets, while Cap- tain Jack Corcoran won in three sets. In the following encounter, the net- men from the University of Rhode Island were completely outclassed by the Bruin varsity, 9-0. The next match with Holy Cross was another complete victory for the Brum netmen. In this 9-0 sweep, Doc Houk, Roger King, Ed Ritchie, and Cal Woodhouse cach beat their opponents by sizeable scores in the singles. The doubles were also easily won by the combinations of Houk and King, O'Hearn and Woodhouse, and Ryder and Ritchie. In their fourth match the Brown varsity was defeated by a strong Harvard contingent, 8-1. A high point in the afternoon was reached when Doc Houk earned his eleventh consecutive intercollegiate victory by defeating the Crimson's highly ranked John Rauh 6-4, 6-1. The racketmen then suffered their second defeat to Yale, by the score 9-0. Houks undefeated record was ended when he lost to Eli Alan Eng- lander 6-4, 6-3. In Brown's 6-3 loss to Williams, the Palmermen were victorious in all three doubles matches after losing the singles. The North Carolina match was cancelled, and in their final encounter the varsity lost to Springfield, 5-4. 219 Front row, left to right: Woodhouse, Ross. Back row: Bensinger, Castleberry, Kramer, Moore, Coach Palmer, Captain Bob Jacobson '53 and Coach Ralph Anderton. The big blast. A young team consisting mostly of sophomores and juniors, and hampered by bad weather lost its first match of the year to a strong Wesleyan team, 5 to 2 at Middletown. The Bear victories were chalked up by Pete Heaton and Norm Anderton. Brown opened its home season on April 27 by playing host to Harvard at the Wanna- moisett Country Club in Rumford. The Cantabs continued their undefeated season by soundly trouncing the Bruins 6 to 1. Norm Anderton was the lone Brown victor. In the number one match of the day, Brown's Bob Jacobson turned in a 72, but fell victim to Harvard's Ted Cooney, who shot a skillful 70. The Bruins continued their losing streak by dropping a closely contested match to Dartmouth 5 to 2. The matches were so played that the results were in doubt until the last few holes. In the indi- vidual competition Bob Jacobson defeated Dartmouth's number one man, Ward Hamm, and Pete Heaton, after going to a full nineteen holes, defeated his opponent one up. The following day Brown placed third in a four team match at Williams. The Bruins beat Springfield 6-0, but lost to their hosts 414 to 1V4. Williams won the match and Holy Cross was second. The University of Rhode Island contest was postponed due to rain. 220 The Brown Lacrosse Club concluded the 1953 season with a two and six record. Middlebury drew first blcod in the opener, and held a mid-game lead to trounce the Bruins 12 to 6. Worcester also proved too strong for the Bear team, gaining an impressive 12-2 decision. The Brown attack then began to find the nets, and swished in eight goals to outpoint a University of Massachusetts team, 8-7. Tabor Academy felt the bite the following weck as the Bears gnawed a 7-5 hole in their winning streak. A muddy Nichols Junior College field was the scene of a 10-0 defeat, the only blanking the Bruins experienced all season. With most of their first team back in action the following week, the Brown club showed marked improvement. The last game of the season was lost to the Boston Lacrosse Club. The hardy veterans from the Hub City repeatedly penetrated the Brown defense, and mauled the stickmen by 12 goals to one. Next year's prospects fer the team look good, as only five men were lost by graduation. Ken Rider and Ansel Davis head the re- turning trackmen, while Captain Pete Phillipi, Bill Eckel, Dan Chu, Bill Klaess, Bob Loutit, Dan Sapir and Fred Burrell will prove a strong midfield. Bob Borah, I'rank Dorsey, and Howie Borgeson are slated to handle the defense. Mike Carney's en- listment in the Marines deprives the team of an outstanding goal keeper, but sophomore Bill Sjostrom will attempt to manage the net tending assignment. 221 Face-off . .. LACROSSE Spring Weekend, and the Bruins get ready. Crew at Browna big sport, a popular sport. The 53 season started in the South, in acceptance to invita- tions from Hollins, Florida, Southern, and Tampa. The trip gave the Bruins needed experience, though they lost to their more seasoned rivals. Returning to the cold waters of the Seekonk, the sweepswingers were tutored by coaches Echeverria, Read, and Bart- lett for their April 18 meeting with Dartmouth. The Brown varsity won in a close race at Hanover, gain- ing the Atlantic Cup and their first Ivy League triumph since the revitalization of the sport in 1949. The spirit and enthusiasm were there now. The varsity, J.V., and freshman crews were good, and To the victor goes the spoils. Varsity their supporters wanted to see them. Crowds of people lined the Seekonk on Saturday of Homecoming Week- end. Tt was Brown pitted against Yale, Amherst, and Clark. The Cubs and the J.V.'s were both defeated in close finishes, but the varsity, in the most exciting race of the afternoon, led Amherst the entire distance giving the oarsmen of Captain Howie Wenzel their second consecutive victory.

INTRAMURALS Though never widely publicized, intramurals play an important part in athletic activity at Brown. For it is through intramurals that all Brown men have the chance to participate in some sort of competitive sport. The program is set up in two main leagues; the fraternities, and the dormitories and clubs. Under the guidance of the director Jack Heffernan, competition is centered on the fraternities for the Lanpher and Swain Cups and among the dormitories and clubs for the College Trophy and Browning Cup. Interest and spirit run high among the many participants as all students have a wide variety of sports in which they can compete. The trophy competition usually finds all the tcams in the various leagues continually engaged in hotly contested matches which, though not known for their athletic prowess, nevertheless offer a lot of cnjoyment and relaxation for those participating. Off for a long gain. Action in the infield. The 1954 Brown rifle team led by Ronnie Stark, Dick Williams, Chris Lutes, Stan Jaffe and James Schiebler compiled a 4-5 record this year in the New England Collegiate Rifle League. Against University of Connecticut m a losing cause, the Brown team scored an all-time high of 1394 points. The best showing of the season was in the finals held at the Coast Guard Academy. In this meet, the team fired the highest score that a Brown team ever registered in the finals1392, and took a third in the B ow N meet. Dick Williams paced the sharp-shooters with R a 285, the second highest score posted. 225 N R o 'l' C The Naval ROTC rifle team, under Captain Ronald Stark, admin- istered o decisive victory over the Brown AFROTC, 978841 In a postal match, the ROTC beat eighteen other eastern ROTC units, while suc- R I F l E T EAM cumbing to only five. The competition for the coveted William Randolph Hearst trophy saw the Brown NROTC Rifle Team in the 18th place, of the seventy-nine ROTC units participating. The first team of Captain Ronny Stark, Richard Williams, Steve Honan, Jim Scheibler, and Ralph Lary, by virtue of a second place in the First Army Area competition, was selected to represent this area in the National Board for Promotion of Rifle Practice tournament.

After a poor start the squad made a complete turnabout by taking fifteen wins over competitors that included R I F l E T E A M Dartmouth, Princeton and Purdue.

SKI CLUB Carrying the largest membership in its history, the Brown Ski Club started its activities with a beer party during the fall term. At their meetings the two hun- dred ecdd members began to formulate plans for their mid-semester outing to Spruce Mountain Lodge in Jackson, New Hampshire. The result was that in spite of threatening weather conditions the largest group in the club's history made the trip to Jackson during mid-semester. Jackson at this time was also the scene of the Wil- liam A. Henry Memorial Giant Slalom, which the Brown Ski Team was victorious. The social side of the weekend was handled by Dave Marean and Jiffy Morgan, who planned the evening's entertainment. One of the highlights of the evenings' escapades was the crowning of the king and queen of the carnival weekend. Dave Bell and Sally Kingman took the honors this year, after which the traditional gliig was served to all. 227 Down the slopes. The ski club's plans for the spring term included a trip to Stowe and Mt. Washington during spring vaca- tion, and although it met with temporary failure last fall, the club planned to continue its hunt for a cabin and land somewhere on the eastern slopes.

YACHT CLUB Besides being the scene of several successful social events, the Brown Yacht Club turned in a notable sailing record in its fall competition. Racing against teams from Yale, Harvard, Tufts, RIU, MIT, and the coast Guard Academy, the Brown Yachtsmen led by Gately and Heaton took second in the New England Intercollegiates at Boston. Later, in one of the most exciting races of the year, the Jefl Davis Trophy race sailed semi-annually against RIU, the Bears squeezed out a narrow one point margin victory over the Rams. This spring the Bruins again entered the MacMillan Cup Race at the Naval Academy racing in forty foot yawls. One of the big events of the spring season was when the Brown sailors were hosts for the Owen Regatta, which is spoken of as the Eastern Intercollegiate Sailing Championship. By next fall the yacht club is to acquire twelve or more new fiberglass boats to replace the long existent wooden ones. During the past year the club has had the highest membership in recent years, with Pembrokers allowed full membership for the first time. BROWN OUTIN CLUB The Brown Outing Reservation was presented to Brown University by members of the class of 1906 in memory of the first president of the class, J. F. H. Price, killed in action during the First World War. The reservation is equipped with cooking and sleeping facilities made available to members of Brown organizations who wish to canoe and fish. The lodge, located on a one hundred acre wooded tract, is an excellent place for weekend outings.
