' fr. AHMKI) S. HOKHAKI Kit HARD 1 . PEYNMAN PHILIPS VISITORS ALBERT W. TUCKER As a I ' esLilt of a generous bequest from the late William Pyle Philips, the College community is invaded annually by a host of distinguished sci entists and statesmen whose visits may last anywhere from a few hours to a full academic year. Potential visitors are nominated by the Faculty and screened by a committee headed by Professor Paissell Williams. Visiting statesmen this year were United Nations Under- secretary for Public Information Ahmed Bokhari and United States Senator Joseph Clark. Sociologists heard Julian Pitt- Rivers speak about his major field — the gypsie.s — and Hadley Cantril, Dorwin Cartwright, and Theodore Newcomb ex- liounded on the realm of psychology. An unusual and interesting series entitled The Physical Universe featured William Fowler, Richard Feynman, Martin Schwarzschild, and Harold Urey. As part of a program on Advances in Cell Structure and Function, Ariel Loewy played host to a vast number of biologists including Alan Hodge, George Palade, Keith Porter, and Sanford Palay. Princeton ' s mathematician Albert Tucker lectured weekly on game theory; astronomy enthusiasts listened starry-eyed to Dirk Brouwer and Russian astronomer Alia Masevitch; and Henry Taube led a group of eager chem majors in some spirited discussions on complex ions.

Tireless and friendly Dick Morsch pauses during a hectic spring after- noon to cure the ills of a nonchalant freshman lefthander. Getting together to plan the theft of the Hood Trophy are (seated) Norm Bramall, Jimmy Mills, Roy Randal ' (standing) Bill Breuninger, Ernie Prudente. Bill Docherty, Dick Morsch, Jack Lester, and Doc Harter. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Roy Randall, Director of Athletics, always seems to have a few well-chosen words at his command (whether the occasion be a half-time pep-talk during a crucial football game or the introduction of a long-winded speaker at the fall sports banquet). Haverford football for- tunes have soared under Roy ' s tutelage, and recent records of the baseball team have also been noteworthy. Bill Docherty, the other half of Haverford ' s third two-professor department, personally bridges the gap between physical education and the humanities in his capacity as father-coun- selor to the freshmen. In addition, he is chief mentor of the golf team, line coach of the foot- ball team, and the most feared referee in the Intramural Basketball League. Easy-going Ernie Prudente never seems to be fazed by the unpredictability of his tempera- mental cagers or the bizarre weight-lifting techniques of his body-building class. As end coach on the football team, Ernie is a pro- ponent of the show ' em in the flesh school; and his enthusiasm makes even the Surplus Twcnfy-cight team in the Softball League feel professional. Richard Morsch, H. E. (Healer Extraordi- nary), is Haverford ' s answer to the ravages of athletic battles. Using ultra-sound machines and good old adhesive tape, Dick labors inces- santly to keep the fencing team loose and the football team tight. Reputed to have a phenome- nal memory for lock combinations, Dick prob- ably remembers everything that was ever put into the bottomless lucky bag. Other members of the athletic stafl had vary- ing degrees of success during the year. While coach Jimmy Mills led the varsity soccer team to a good season, Jack Lester ' s J. V. hooters and Doc Harter ' s junior griddei ' S found the going rough. Under the guidance of new coach Bill Breuninger, both the cross country and track teams had successful records. Similarly Henri Gordon ' s fencers and Harter ' s wrestlers achieved success in Middle Atlantic league competition. In the spring. Norm Bramall be- gan his umpteenth year as tennis coach, and Howard Comfort came out of retirement to rejuvenate the cricketers.
