Highlights: Thirty-One to Thirty-Four As the class of '35 descended upon Trinity in the fall of 1931, it was quite evi- dent that, although our needs and our numbers had been duly recognized, the preparations for our arrival had not been completed, for the Chapel and the new dormitories were still in the process of construction. I-Iailed as the largest class in the history of the college, representing twenty states and five foreign countries, we assumed our humble position among the undergraduates and said, Now let history proceed. We were reminded that we had arrived at Trinity in an era of expansion . Not only was the enrollment of Trinity expanding, but two new buildings were in the process of construction. Fir timbers were arriving from Oregon to finish the chapel roof. The completion of the Trinity quadrangle, the dream of Trinity men for half a century, was being accomplished by the erection of Cook Hall. The Trinity Faculty was enlarged, ten men being added to the staff, making a total of forty-three professors and instructors, averaging one to every ten students. The new students, together with many of the old ones, found a champion in Dr. Hutt, who, in disagreeing with Professor Shaw of Columbia, stated that whistlers were not morons. This timely encouragement, when we were already beset by innumerable vicissitudes, gave us the spirit to go on. Realizing that one is known at college by his extra-curricular activities, the class of '35 eagerly responded to the calls of the Jesters, Athenaeum, Yripod Board, and the Athletic Association. In October, 1931, the College received for the new Chapel a historic stone con- nected with the history of John Huss. It was a portion of the stone from which John Huss preached in the year 1413 at a little town in Czecho-Slovakia. The stone was gratefuly received and placed in the outdoor pulpit on the south side of the Chapel with the warning that future preachers who desired to expound longer than fourteen or thirteen minutes would do well to remember the fate of John Huss. Speaking of fires, it was the same month that a plumber and a stray blow torch set Jarvis Laboratory ablaze. The damage unfortunately was slight, and classes were resumed on the day following. 24
