into the time honored halls of Freshman Hotel. Mr. Harris Prior in Northam was the recipient of the greater part of the H1'C1T1CH,S attention, while the Atheneum rooms in Northam 2 remained unoccupied for two months following the fire. The ambulance did some broken field running among the elms to take the smoked hero, Fred Ludwig, Doctor of J anitry and Day and Night Watching, to the hospital. The Trinity Trustees appointed Roger Eastman '24, of Woodstock, Vermont, as assistant to President Ogilby. He assumed his office in February, 1934. On January 9 the Scholarship Cup was awarded to the Sigma Nu fraternity for the second successive year. The cup was presented at a meeting of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, and Sigma Nu was complimented upon obtaining the highest per- centage of A's and Bls for two successive years. The comparison between mid-year ratings this year and last reveals an improve- ment in scholarship at Trinity. Although two more dropped out of the freshman class than last year, the number on probation in upper classes dropped from fourteen to three. The unlimited cut list rose from thirty-six to fifty-one. The material for the first half of the 1935 IVY is to bc in the hands of the pub- lisher by March 1. Trinity history continues 5 this account must be dated February 26, 1934. EUS 30

The return of Beer in May of 1933 was met with wild acclaim by Trinity men. A picture on the front page of the Hartford Times showed enthusiasts bending el- bows at one Max Scher's emporium. Trinity students could be discerned among the numerous bottles. Final exams came upon us, and it is well understood that nothing of historical importance happens during the exam period. The one hundred and seventh com- mencement called a halt to the happenings at Trinity for the year 1932-33. The summer months sped along and the time again approached to continue the search for knowledge and wisdom . The 1937 class was duly welcomed and ter- rified, rushing was completed, and all took up the compulsory hob-nobbing with the professors. Marcel Dupre, under whom Mr. Clarence Watters, college organist, studied in Paris, gave a series of recitals on the Chapel organ in October, 1933. Attentive and appreciative audiences listened to his selections, realizing their privilege of listen- ing to a world-renowned master. The football team closed a remarkably successful season with four victories. Wesleyan and Amherst were among the defeated teams. A frenzy of excitement followed the Wesleyan game, which victory was the first in seven years over our traditional rivals. There is talk of giving receptions to members of the Middletown Police force prior to the next contest at Wesleyan so that they may obtain introduc- tions to 'l'rinity's notables and thereby use discretion in the swinging of shillalahs. The Armistice Day Chapel service proved to be an array of flags and illustrious speakers. Governor Cross was among the notables present, being supported by the Governor's Foot Guard Band. Dr. Ogilby preached an appropriate sermon on Faith and Fear . The service closed with an organ recessional arrangement of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. On November 26 a blaze of undetermined origin broke out in Northam Towers. The Hartford Fire Department took its stand 'neath the elms and poured water 29
