Freshman Week was a study in contrasts, be- cause the only figures on the campus were con- fused newcomers and the wordly-wise upperclass businessmen who were selling everything, includ- ing social acceptance. The choice of New Haven police Chief Francis V. McManus as one of the speakers at the matriculation banquet was more meaningful than the freshmen realized. The upperclassmen who returned on the 24th found no major change in the appearance of the university. At least one Of the mystic sanctuaries of the senior class had been renovated and recon- secrated, and Mother Phi had a new bar, reputed to be the longest in the Western XVorld and the pride and joy of DKE's all over the earth; but there had been no progress in the construc- tion of the new colleges, and the geology build- ing was still a dream. New Haven, on the other hand, had changed markedly over the summer. The Oak Street Connector was finished, and a number of the buildings in the redevelopment were almost completed. Rumors that the Co-op, which had expanded a little more over the sum- mer, was dickering to buy Sterling Library tit was to be run as a rental library, with patronage refund toot were squelched. As Classes began, however, Yale students found that there were more innovations than supposed, for Noah Porter Gate was permanently Closed, and there were campus police at the corner of College and Grove battling jaywalkers with an electric megaphone. September entertainment doled out by New Haven movie theaters spoke more than mere words could of their joy at having the Yalies back; the offerings included Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, and Lady Chatterly's Lover. Football was the biggest news in September, how- ever, and Yale had both a new bulldog, Hand- some Dan X, and an experienced Call of it bad, remarked Couch Jordan Olivari team. The UConn Huskies came to Yale 0n the 29th, ex- pecting to win, but the Blue combined a reac- tionary ballcontrol offense with an obdurate de- fense for a 20-0 win.

OCTOBER Fraternity rushing begun in early October, but the various brotherhoods could no longer look forward t0 relieving the tensions of the rush by swinging :1 puddle at the posteriors of the new members, for all pledging was banned. This de- cree was not so suggestive of the situations of fraternities at Yale as the fact that two houses attracted Virtually no rushees. Ynleys social life was moving in a new direction; New Haven's first espresso shop opened in October. Actually social life was moving in :1 number of new directions. but the administration impeded progress by send- ing 21 campus policeman t0 the public poker party being held in the freshman lounge. The Undergraduate Lecture Committee, which was responsible for bringing Henry Ford, Walter Reuther, Martin Luther King, and Barry Gold- water to Yale in 1958-59, announced that it was joining forces with Yale's newest public affairs organization, Challenge. The first Chubb Fellow at Timothy Dwight was Senator Stephen M. Young. Democrat of Ohio. Master Berginys cup seemed to be running over, for TD introduced a new gift, the Timothy Dwight Fellowship in Arts and Letters, which brought authoress Iris Murdock t0 the college. Yale ate high off the athletic hog in October. for the soccer team emerged as a contender for the Ivy League championship, and the harriers won the Big Three Championship. Yale's foot- ball team was the basis of the real excitement, however, for it had ridden the tide of four straight shutout victories after UConn t0 thir- teenth place in the national rankings of the A550- ciated Press. October 31 began, like the last Sat- day in October has always begun, with the Ban- ner thrashing the Bnbbitts of a few of Yalehs other extra-curricular organizations in bladder- bnll, although perhaps with rather more carnage than usual. Dartmouth beat Yale in the min that afternoon, 12-8, and Yale plummeted from the polls permanently. Damn. Aim: Senators Jack Kennedy and Prescott Bush . . . Representative Charles 0. Porter . . .

Locally, Mayor Richard Lee was returned to ofiice by a substantial, but reduced majority. Two Chubb Fellows, former Attorney-General Herbert Brownell and Senator Edmund S. Mus- kie were at Yale for visits of a few days. The Yale-for-Rockefeller organization, which apparw ently had fewer counterparts around the country than was then thought, sponsored a talk by Rep- resentative Stuyvesant Wainwright. President Tsiranana of Madagascar also spoke. The Kingston Trio led the musical events of the month off with a concert at the New Haven Arena. Another appearance of interest to folk music enthusiasts was that of Josh White at the Jewish Community Center. Jazz buffs had their best month in several years, for in addition to a Woolsey Hall performance of Teddy Charles and company, there was a show at the Arena that in- cluded the Dave Brubeck Quartet, Lambert, Hend- ricks, and Ross, Chris Conner, and Chico Hamil- ton. The Boston Symphony and the Juilliard Quartet catered to classical music fanciers, and a group of voice students from the Music School sang madrigals to the Elizabethan Club as it con- cluded celebrations marking the 400th anniver- sary of its namesake's accession to the throne. Yale produced plenty of news of its ownM for instance the announcement that Kingman Brewster, a professor in the Harvard Law School, would succeed Norman S. Buck as university provost. The publication of the plans for the new residential colleges was also news, bad news for those upperclassmen who had hoped to park their cars on the site all winter tthe steel strike even- tually reprieved theml. The first volume of the Franklin papers was published by the Yale Press in November, an event of considerable impor- tance, inspiring even a story in Life. The Art Gallery received a gift of thirty-three Renais- sance paintings from Mr. and Mrs. Louis Meyer Rabinowitz, which, when taken in connection with the earlier gift of a statue by Henry Moore, illustrated Yale's quiet rise to preeminence among college art galleries. The evcr-present spirit of Abraham Pierson exerted itself through the ad- administration, and the Rheingold Girls were not encouraged to pay their annual visit. Both Penn and Yale were beaten the week before they met, but the game still figured to be the best game of the year in the Ivy League. And 15 it was. Although Penn won 28-12, the game was really very close, and it was an exhibition of skillful and hard-nosed football that com- pared favorably with that played anywhere in the country. The next week saw Yale and Princeton exchange touchdowns until the Blue defense caught hold and made the scoring one-sided, 38-20. Yale teams won ten of the twelve football games played with Harvard teams, including a 28-24 victory climaxing an undefeated season for the Bullpups; but one of the two losses was a 35-6 one to the Harvard varsity.

Rederr'clolmlelzl wulimm m1 schedule DECEMBER The first weekend in December was the occa- sion of the fall colloquium sponsored by Chal- lenge, which had already had a hand in sponsor- ing many of the speakers appearing at Yale. The theme of the meeting was The Challenge of the Nuclear Age, and it was highlighted With talks by Carlos P. Romulo, General James M. Gavin. Dr. James F. Crow, and Presidential aspirant Senator Hubert M. Humphrey. One thousand students from Yale and other schools all over the East attended the weekend activities, which included, in addition to the major speeches, nu- merous speeches, panels, and coffee seminars. The folk music artists, the Weavers, also performed over the weekend. Yale showed a surplus for the previous year of $24,871, and so naturally began consideration of a project to tunnel Elm Street from College to Broadway, which would only cost about three million dollars. The study is being undertaken jointly with the city, whose redevelopment proj- ects have apparently also created a troublesome surplus, and it t the studyi is not to cost more than $4,200, or between live and seven hundred books, or a policeman, depending on your point of view. Yale prosperity was further demon- strated by the decision to refuse to allow stu- dents to accept federal loans under the National Defense Education Act of 1958, and by the for- mulation of plans for a major funds drive. The Yale basketball team got 011C to as fast a start as their football counterparts, winning four of their first six games and losing the others by one point margins. There was national publicity associated with the first of a series of network television broadcasts involving Yale faculty mem- bers. The undergraduate members of Zeta Psi once again petitioned to have their fraternity changed from a chapter of a national fraternity to a local club. The main thing that December meant, how- ever, was the Christmas vacation and the chance to get away from the pressure of curricular and extra-curricular commitments. A150: Congressmen John V.

Simre, bill . . . ary. To start with, no one could be very happy coming back to Yale with the spectre of exami- nations lurking in the shadows. A determined studentefaculty attack on the abolition of the semester break was the first failure. Then the big fire in Liggett's turned out to be something burn- ing on the grill, hardly worth the trouble of the firemen who swarmed all over the drugstore. The Postmaster-General got into the act next by try- ing to stop the savings bond Chain letter which was making a lot of money for everyone, includ- ing the government. Governor Rockefeller even withdrew from the race for the Presidential nomi- nation, leaving the highly organized Yale-for- Rockefeller Club in the embarrassing position of having to cancel all of its meetings and button orders. Enough to make a man an anarchist. Finally, about 70 students in Silliman got upset stomachs. Director of the Department of Uni- versity Health, Dr. John S. Hathaway said that the disorder was ilmild, but then he doesn't eat in Silliman. Herbert M. Kunz, who is in charge of the university's dining halls, said that the sick- ness was dehnitely not caused by the food. The Silliman dietieian was not available for comment; she had an upset stomach tmust have been some- thing she atey A more serious problem came to a head in January, when more than twenty undergraduates were implicated in a morals offense. The problem was actually bipartite, for the relationship be- tween the city and campus police, as well as the conduct of the student body, was involved. The students concerned were given only small fines, :7: but a rearrangement of the Yale security system was necessary after the incident. January was not all bad, however, for Harvard hnished a $82,500,000 fund drive successfully. The rumor that this money would be used to construct a tunnel from Cambridge to Boston Common proved to be unfounded. The Yale Film Society's endeadvor, The End of Summer? was awarded the Jesse L. Lasky Intercollegiate Film Prize. Yale was publicly congratulated by the New Haven newspapers for its contribution of 2091 pints of blood to the Connecticut Red Cross Program.

F EBRUARY At about the same time that the Political Union celebrated its 25th Anniversary, the Yale chapter of the NAACP was reactivated, and it was an- nounced that George F. Kennan would teach at Yale during the first semester of the 1960-61 session. Yale also disclosed that it was preparing to forge ahead of Harvard and Princeton in salary level for instructors and assistant professors. The fraternities began an abbreviated rush period, but before it had been finished York Hall, which denationalized last year, was forced to CIOse because of insufficient present or poten- tial membership. Chi Psi had already sold its Dancing till 2 at UM Lawn Club ma 38 a a wma- 32mm fume qt Rev. Caffm receive: P. U. William Bcutan Award house to the university, and was not participating in the rush until its future had been established. The January rule making it illegal to entertain ladies in 21 students room on a weekday was re- laxed to allow students to have lady guests on Fridays also. The reorganization of the Yale security system was completed with the appointment of native New Haven FBI agent John W. Powell to the post of Security Director and Associate Dean of Students. In the meantime, the spectator athletes of the student body, discouraged by Yale's stum- bling basketball and hockey teams, were treated to a 3-2 upset win over a highly regarded RPI hockey team. The Senate filibuster and the lunch counter9 controversies in the South stirred sympathetic re- actions among a significant portion of the student body. Few transformed their sympathy into ac- tion, however, such as the picketing of the New Haven branch of Woolwortlfs. This inactivity resulted, in part, from the new Nezm board's editorial policy of organized apathy. The Junior Prom brought Billy May and Micki Marlo t0 the Yale campus, but, more important, it was the occasion for the flrst art festival in which each college displayed creative work by its students and faculty members.

More than twelve hun- dred students attended the meeting on The Chal- lenge of American Democracy. The same format of panels, informal talks, coffee seminars, and four major speakers which was used in the fall was followed. Harold Taylor, former president of Sarah Lawrence College, A. Phillip Randolph, Negro labor leader, Senator Barry Goldwater, and Thurgood Marshall delivered the principal addresses. A folk music concert with Odetta and Pete Seeger was sandwiched in the weekend and drew more than 2500 people. Another important group of speeches was given by Sir George Mac- Leod, Scotch leader of the Iona Community, who held the Danforth Fellowship. Concern with the civil rights fight was maintained in March. A meeting to raise money for aid to Southern Ne- groes arrested in the controversy was held, and a large group of divinity students staged a silent march of protest down Elm Street to the Green. March was a good month for entertainment. The appearance of a company performing a Chinese Opera provided some of the year's best theater. The Drama Schools production of He XVho Must Die was another exceptionally fine piece of entertainment, but for many undergradu- ate a more significant break-through was the years first triple feature. No summary of March entertainment would be complete without a men- tion of the election of the Secretary and the Treasurer of the Class of 1961. The Newt even abandoned its policy of disengagement to join the fray, which was as angry as it was assinine. Athletically March was a good month also, for the swimmers beat Harvard in uthe greatest dual meet in history ; the hockey team also beat the Cantabs 3-2, thereby alleviating the pain of a previous 5-0 loss; the track team, although finish- ing only second in the IC4Als, showed up very well; and the polo team won the national inter- collegiate indoor tournament. A heavy snow called forth the latent creative powers of the undergrad- uates, but when the weather warmed a little, all thoughts turned to Bermuda and Florida and comps.

Richard Niebnbr, lbzologimz APRIL and MAY At the beginning of April, the underclassmen returned from their vacations, and the seniors, having finished their comps, left on theirs. The New Haven weather fmally began to get fairly good, and the courtyards 0f the library and the colleges became crowded with sunbathers and scholars 1nd combinations of the two. The spring athletic season got into full swing, and the track team developed into one of the greatest that Yale has ever had. Fraternity XVeekend and College XVeekend came and were enjoyed and passed, leaving only examinations between Yale and the world of the summer. The Dramats spring musical, Tom Jones,n was one of the highlights of the spring in New Haven entertainment. The freshmen were no longer allowed to walk on the grass of the Old Campus, and then suddenly they were not f reshmen any more.

We are not going to convert Yale into an educational service station on the one hand or an ivory tower on the other, for by either course we should be shirking our duty and denying ourselves the opportunity of making much more valuable contribue tions to society. As to the first, even in the most practical reckon- ing the most urgent need of our society is for the pure learning, in the humanities and social sciences as well as in the sciences, that will enable us to improve upon todayis knowledge and re- place ideas, attitudes, and technologies that are already obsolete with new and better ones. In this our very security as a nation is at stake. As to the second choice, our duty is not, as Milton said at the beginning of the scientific revolution in the seventeenth century, 'to sequester out of this world into . . . Utopian polities, . . . but to ordain wisely in the world of evil, in the midst whereof God hath placed us unavoidablyf, This is not only our duty. It is our instinct as members of society and our tradition as a university. Our conscious choice is neither to cater to the world nor to deny the world but to ordain as wisely as we can Within it, to shed whatever light pure learning is capable of shedding upon it, and to prepare the rising generation for full and purposeful lives in the face of whatever that light reveals. The Prexidenlir Report !0 tlae Alumni of Yale Univerxily, 1958-59 A. WHITNEY GRISWOLD became the sixteenth Presi- dent of Yale University in 1950 at the age of 43. Since assuming the Presidency, he has become one Of the leading spokesmen for liberal arts and higher education in this country. The author of a number of books on the educational process, Mr. Griswold has received honorary degrees from eight different institutions, and is also the recipient of a Freedom's Foundation award and an Officer of the French Legion of Honor. Though devoting a large portion of his efforts to the strengthening of the Yale curriculum, Mr. Griswold is widely hailed as a scholar of wit and learning. 26 RICHARD C. CARROLL, Dean of Undergraduate Af- fairs and Associate Dean of Yale College, has been highly instrumental in formulating Yale's scholarship procedures and its system of bursary employment. A member of the faculty since his graduation from Yale in 1932, Dean Carroll has served as a college master and as a member of the Alumni Board, and maintains close touch with students as a Fellow of Timothy Dwight. Since 1949, Mr. Carroll has been Dean of Students in Yale College. YALE COLLEGE WILLIAM C. DE VANE, Dean of Yale College and Emily Sanford Professor of English Literature, is a noted scholar and educator. He has refused the presidencies of 24 colleges and universities during the last several years in order to remain at Yale. At Yale, Dean DeVnne has been responsible for major reorganizations of the under- graduate studies, instituting the Scholar of the House and the Directed Studies programs. Author of six books and an authority on Browning and Tennyson, Dean DeVane has received six honorary degrees from leading universities. He also holds positions of responsibility with the Rockefeller, Ford, and John Hay Whitney Foundations. SAMUEL GRAYBILL. JR. divides his time about equally between teaching and administration. As Assistant to the Dean of Yale College he has primary responsi- bility for the problems of the members of each year's Junior Class. As Instructor of History of Art he conducts two sections of the basic course, History of Art 12, and serves as Professor Scully's assistant in the very popular lecture course Modern American Architecture. Dean Grayhill took his undergraduate work at Williams, after serving in the infantry from the middle of 1943 to the end of 1945. He taught for a year at Williams, and in 1950 came to Yale to do graduate work in art history, for which he was awarded a PhD. in 1957. ROBERT P. PORTER, Assistant Dean of Yale College. came to Yale in 1953 as an Instructor in Classics after spending three years on the faculty of Princeton Univer- sity, where he did his undergraduate work. His college career was interrupted by service as a lieutenant in the U. 5. Army from 1945 to 1946, but after graduating in 1947 he spent two years at Oxford as 21 Rhodes Scholar. Dean Porter switched from teaching to administration in 1958. His primary responsibility is each year's Sopho- more Class, and the problems of the individuals who compose it. Dean Porter is also secretary of Yale's chap- ter of Phi Beta Kappa. HENRY CHAUNCEY, JR, Assistant Dean of Yale College and Undergraduate Affairs, is the youngest mem- ber of the Yale College deaneiy. He graduated from Yale in 1957. and returned the next year to graduate school. In 1958 he began pnrt-time work in the Dean's Othce, and in the middle of the year he decided to devote himself solely to administration. Dean Chauncey has pri- mary responsibility for the problems of members of each year's Senior Class, including the handling of transcripts for graduate and professional schools and jobs. As As- sistant Dean of Undergraduate Affairs he is concerned with the problems of all extra-curricular activities of the Freshman Year, Yale College, and the School of Engi- meeting. SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING DANA YOUNG, Sterling Professor of Civil Engineer- ing. was appointed Dean of the School of Engineering in 1955. Professor Young has served as consultant to a number of business corporations, and is presently one of hve members of the Advisory Committee to the U. S. National Bureau of Standards. The Yale Dean is noted for his work on vibration and elasticity of building mas terials, and is the author of several important publica- tions in the field. including Inelastic Buckling of Vari- able Section Columns. GRANT ROBLEY has been 21 member of the Yale fuc- ulty since 1938 and Associate Dean of the School of Engineering since 1950. His interest in university ad- ministration Stems from his experience as an undergradu- ate course counsellor. Although Dean Robley still teaches one course, his time is now almost entirely spent in deuL ing With the problems of indiVidual undergraduates and the general administration of the School of Engineering. He also serves as faculty advisor to the Yale chapter of Tau Beta Pi, national engineering honor society. FACULTY Yale University has widened its academic perspective to include the historical, cultural, scientific and linguistic study of underdevel- oped and formerly remote countries. Recog- nizing the increasing importance of these coun- tries to the United States' world position, Yale has provided more depth and breadth to the undergraduate education through the accession of additional faculty and the enrichening of the curriculum. Born in Hawaii of Japanese parentage and educated at the University of Hawaii, CHITOSHI YANAGA was set geographically and culturally between the East and the West. A few years' sojourn and study in Japan be- fore college reinforced his bilingual and bicultural back- ground and awakened a deep interest in international and intercultural relations, lending to graduate work at the University of California where he took his PhD. in political science. Following post-doctoral study at the Tokyo Imperial University, Mr. Yanaga began teaching at the University of California. During World War II he served with the Office of War Information, the For. eign Broadcast Intelligence Service. the 058, and the Department of State. He came to Yale in 1945 and is currently Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of Graduate Studies on Eastern Asia. In 1955- 56 he was Fulbright Research Professor at Tokyo Uni- versity. Professor Yanaga's writings include japan Siute Perry and Ialmmire People and Polilictr, and he is Cur- 1'ently doing research on AngluAmerican-ananese diplo- macy. Chairman of the Geography Department and Director of Southeast Asia Studies, KARL J. PELZER received his academic training at the University of Bonn and wrote his PhD. thesis on labor migrations in Southeast Asia. After coming to the United States in 1935 to teach at the University of California, Berkeley, Professor Pelzer studied Japanese migration problems for the Council on Foreign Relations. He then went OH to the Dutch East Indies and the Philippines to study government-spon- sored resettlement projects. He returned to the United States just before Pearl Harbor and started the Geography Department at Johns Hopkins. In 1944 he left Johns Hopkins to sewe as 2 Southeast Asia specialist first in the thce of War Information and later in the Depart- ment of Agriculture In 1946 he was a member of a team of scientists sent to the Pacific to survey the war damage to the economy of Micronesia. Since coming to Yale in 1947, Professor Pelzer has been active both in the Geog- raphy Department and the Southeast Asia Studies pro- gram; nonetheless. he has not allowed his work at Yale to stup his field research. and since 1950 he has worked in the Philippines, Malaya, and Indonesia. e 9e,; Exploration has always been a sort of ruling passion for Assistant Professor of Geography JAMES M. BLAUT, and this interest was the critical factor in his decision to become a professional geographer rather than to enter some form of social planning. When he made this de cision, he promised himself to spend one year in field research for every two that he spent teaching. Mr. Blaut has managed to keep this promise thus fart for he has worked and studied in Singapore, Trinidad, Panama, and Peru, and has participated in symposiums in Puerto Rico and Athens. This June, moreover, he will leave for research in Indonesia. Professor Blaut received his undergraduate education at the University of Chicago and his graduate training at L. S. U. His dissertation was on primitive agricultural systems. the area that has continued to be his special interest. Folk music is Mr. Blaut's outside interest, but it is more than a hobby. As an undergraduate he performed professionally, and he has since delivered a paper on calypso to the Interna- tional Folk Music Convention. Since coming to Yale Mr. Blaut has been an active participant in the Hoot. Author of Sizzlxkrit lizderlirzalzlw of Ike Hindu Gram- mm'imzx, ISIDORE DYEN is Professor of Malayo-Poly- nesizm and Comparative Linguistics. Professor Dyen has also written Spoken Malay and The PratoeMdluyo-Paly- zzetrimz Lm-yazgeuly, and is currently working on a scienr tilic investigation of the similarities between 500 Malayo- Polynesian languages, 3 study involving extensive use of IBM machines. After studying Romance Languages at Pennsylvania, Mr. Dyen studied Indo-European linguistics as a graduate student, receiving his PhD. in 1959. Pro- fessor Dyen arrived at Yale in the same year and in 1942 began to teach Malay to undergraduate Students and then to Army personnel in the Army Specialized Training Program. In 1947 he went to Ti'uk :15 linguist in Yale's expedition to study Micronesian anthropology. Professor Dyen now teaches graduate courses in linguistics, and an undergraduate course in elementary and advanced Indo- nesian, and is a member of the American Linguistic Society and the American Oriental Society. Director of Graduate Studies in International Relations and Professor of Political Science, DAVID N, ROWE was born in Nanking, China. 31nd lived there until com- ing to the United States in 1922. He graduated from Princeton in 1927. Professor Rowe's education continued at the University of Southern California tMAJ, the University of Chicago tPhDJ, and Harvard. After Har- vard, Mr. Rowe made the Hrst of several scholarly trips to the Far East, this One to study at the college of Chie nese Studies in Peking, China. Mr. Rowe held several different government positions during World War II, and in 1943 he came to Yale. Professor Rowe's connections with the government did not end when he came to Yale, however. for he has since been a consultant to several agencies and has lectured at the National War College. Mr. Rowe was also a member of the International Secre- tariat at the United Nations Conference on International Organization at San Francisco in 1945. In recognition of his services as Representative of the Asia Foundation in Taiwan, Professor Rowe was awarded China's Special Cmvut of the Order of Brilliant Star in 1956. SAMUEL E. MARTIN'S mother is reported to have said of him that he did not start talking until late and has been trying to make up for it ever since. Associate Pro- fessor in Far Eastern Linguistics Martin is softspoken in a number of tongues, two of which, Japanese and Vietnamese. he teaches here. He has also collaborated on a Korean-English dictionary and is now working on :1 reference grammar in that language. But his real interest lies in descriptive linguistics, the analysis of language structure. Widely traveled, Mr. Martin was born in Kan- sas. studied first at the Universtiy of California tBA. 1947, MA. 19495, then came to Yale, where in one year he received his doctorate, the next was an instructor, and the following year became an assistant professor. He was first in Japan with the Navy during the latter years of the war, then more recently on a Morse Fellowship, and he hopes to return for more research. The author of several textbooks and sundry articles, Mr. Martin is an executive fellow resident in Timothy Dwight College and :1 member of the Elizabethan Club. Born in Peiping, China, NELSON I. WU came to the United States in 1945, and after studying at the New School for Social Research in New York, received his M.A. and PhD. at Yale. As Assistant Professor of the History of Art and Curator of Chinese Painting, he has published several articles on Chinese, in addition to a novel based on the feelings of college students during his university days in China. Mr. Wu is especially in- terested in Chinese painting and Indian architecture, and in 1958-59 he traveled around the world to study art monuments and to do research in the Far East. No ivory tower scholar, Professor Wu once walked 5.500 miles across China in eleven months in an effort to get first hand knowledge of the people. He also constructed his Cheshire, ConneCticut, home himself, as well as handling its unique landscaping. Furthermore, he is an athlete, and while in college he was on the varsity volleyball team; he continues to play tennis for recreation. When he has time, Mr. Wu enjoys the hobbies of photography, Hy. ing, and painting. When he was only Fifteen. ARTHUR F. WRIGHT W215 taken on a tour of Asia. The interest in the Far East which this trip stimulated lasted through his undergrad. uzlte career at Stanford and his two years at Oxford. As 21 result, Professor Wright returned from England to the Harvard Yenching Institute, the Harvard Department of Far Eastern Languages, where he received his A.M. in 1940. Among the other students of oriental history in Cambridge at this time was MARY CLABAUGH WRIGHT, a Birdsall Fellow at Radcliffe. Mrs. Wright did not Come by her interest in oriental history quite so directly as her husband. Born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. she came to Radcliffe from Vassar, where she had tie- cided that teaching was the best way for a person sc- riously interested in scholarship to satisfy that interest. Mrs. Wright, however, began her graduate work as :1 European historian, only taking am Asian history course because it completed her time schedule nicely. The excite- ment of a relatively unwritten field and the recruiting zeal of her professor soon converted Mrs. Wright, how- ever, and after their 1940 marriage, the Wrights eagerly traveled to China for held research As relations he- tween the United States and Japan steadily deteriorated, the Wrights began to make plans to return to the United States. They were reluctant to leave any sooner than they had to, for they did not know when they might be able to return. The morning that they rose to leave was the same morning that Japanese Hyers bombed; us :1 result travel between China and the United States was impossible Until the end of the war they were interned in China, first in Peking and then in a prison camp further inland. After the war they decided to remain in China, returning to their interrupted research. Mrs. W'right devoted her time in this period to the collection of material about the Chinese revolution for Stanford's Hoover War Library. In 1947 the Wrights returned to faculty positions at Stanford, where. with the exception of a year in Japan. they had remained until coming to Yale this year. The Wrights deny any significance to the fact that their campus offices are in separate buildings and their home oHHces on different floors; and in fact, although they rarely collaborate formallyt they always read and help polish one another's articles. The next addition to this substantial bibliography will be Mr. Wright's TIN Coufutimz Permmion, to be published by the Stanford University Press. An authority on Soviet economics, JOHN M. MONTIAS. Assistant Professor of Economics came to Yale in 1958 after extensive study at Columbia. As an undergraduate, Professor Montias studied huth Russian and economics and decided to combine them in his later career. After serving three years as an economic analyst for the United Nations in Geneva, Beirut and New York, Mr. Montias traveled extensively in central Europe, working as a consultant for the Ford Foundation on the Polish Fellow- ship Program and holding several fellowships and grants for research. In addition to co-authoring :1 book on the Polish economy, Professor Montias has written for numer- ous professional magazines. Mr. Montias likes to play Chess. study languages and travel. A genial person, Mr. Montias is well liked in his undergraduate course On the Soviet economy and his graduate course on central planning In view of his past experiences, Assistant Professor of Anthropology LEOPOLD J. POSPISIL'S outward serenity is umzlzing. Mr. Pospisil suffered through Nazi terror in Czechoslovakia; then after the war he entered Charles University at Prague to study law, and while there be- came am active unti-Communist. After the Communist coup, he and his wife managed to escape to West Ger- many, where he studied philosophy at the Masaryk University for Czech Students in Exile. In 1949 he emigrated to the United States. and although he was offered a fellowship at Columhiu. he derided to learn English while working on a ranch near Austin, Texas. He went to the University of Oregon for his M.A. tatter getting his BA. at Wlillmette Collegei, and the subject of his thesis. the anthropology of 121w, has ins terested him ever since; so much so that after coming to Yale in 1952, he went off to study the laws of a New Guinea tribe that had never seen white men. This re- search provided the basis for his doctoral dissertation, for which he got his PhD. from Yale in 1956 In addi- tion to his courses. Mr. Pospisil is an assistant curator of the Peabody Museum. W 1.11 NORVIN J. HEIN studied for his Yale PhD. in an original way: he spent an entire year in India going to Hindu religious plays. His association with India and his teaching career started simultaneously after his gradu- ation from Wooster College in his native Ohio and two years at Yale Divinity School twhere he later received his BDJ, when he went to Allahabad to teach English at Ewing Christian College for four years. After a year in the Army YMCA working with British troops in India, he worked his way back to the United States aboard :1 ship of the U. 5. Merchant Marine. He served us an assistant chaplain at a U. S. Maritime Service training station during the final year of the war. Mr. Hein started teaching at Yale in 1950, and is now an Associate Pru- fessot in Comparative Religion, a fellow of Branfoul College, and the Assistant Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Religion. Besides being an au. thority on Hinduism, Mr. Hein is also a mountain IOVer. and among his other accomplishments is a hike to the source of the Ganges. Of his numerous articles, the most unusual is one published in Hindi. A newcomer on the Yale scene, HARRY j. BENDA brings a varied background and much experience to his post 215 Associate Professor of History. He was born in Czechoslovakia and emigrated to the Dutch East Indies in 1939, spending seven years there, three of them in a Japanese prison Camp. During these years he gathered source materials on Indonesian Islam under the Japanese occupation, the subject of his recently published book, T139 Crate ! and 1179 Rising SIHI. After receiving his BA. and MA. from the University of New Zealand, Professor Bemla came to Cornell for his PhD. From Cornell he went to the University of Rochester, where he taught history, delivered many outside lectures, some televised, and wrote a number of articles. At Yale Mr, Benda teaches an undergraduate course, the History of Southeast Asia since 1500, and will also be teaching a senior seminar on the Expansion of Europe into Asia, 1500-1800, next year. While Professor Benda's primary interest lies in Indonesian history, he is also studying,Y some aspects of political leadership in contemporary Southeast Asia. His next book will very likely deal with Indonesia in the 19th century, but he expects to write some articles concerning present-duy political dCVClOpr ments in the entire area. The Chairman of Yale's Department of Slavic Languages and Literature, WILLIAM S. CORNYN, does double duty on the faculty, for he is also a leading authority on Burmese. Professor Cornyn's academic Career had a de- luyecl beginning, for he spent more than ten years in business between finishing secondary school in his na- tive Canada and entering U. C. L. A. His interest in languages led him from California to Yale. where he received his Ph.D. in 1944. In the meantime he had accepted an invitation to prepare and teach a course in Burmese for the Army Specialized Training Program. In the process of preparing this course, Professor Cornyn began a series of works on Burmese that Will reach its culmination soon with the publication of the world's first scientifically-linguistic dictionary of the Burmese language. Professor Cornyn has also made a major con- tribution to scholarship and American understanding of Burma in his vital role in the collection of Yalels unique Burmese library which, because of war destruction, is one Of the best such libraries in the world, Burma included. mm :;.g.m i Born and raised in China by missionary parents, HEROLD J. WIENS, Associate Professor of Geography and Director of Undergraduate Foreign Area Studies, has learneti much about his specialty, China's historical geography from personal experience. After graduating from the University of California and attending Yenching University in Peking for a year, he worked in the American Embassy at Chungking from 1938 to 1940. He lived through more than 100 Japanese bombings, some of which he ventured out into to take movies of. During the war he was a research analyst for the OSS, studying Japanese industrial Concentrations in Manchuria. He came to Yale in 1949, shortly before receiving his Ph.D. at Michigan. An active Held, as well as library, researcher, Mr. Wiens spent the summers of 1954 11nd 1956 in the Caroline and Marshall Islands studying atolls, attended the Pacific Science Conference in Bangkok in 1957, and went to the Marshalls on a typhoon survey in 1958. He has published :1 book on the historical geography of South ChinaL hopes soon to publish one on coral atolls, zmcl is starting one on the geography of potentially rich Chinese Turkesmn. MARIO RODRIGUEZ describes himself as a 1mm actor at heart who as a teacher gets paid for it. He is also the author of numerous articles, the winner of the Robertson Prize given by the American Historical As- sociation, an expert on 19th century liberalism in Cen- tral America ton which he is currently completing the first of three studiest, and a contributing editor to the Library of Congress's Handbook of Latin Amerimn Studiej. Professor Rodriguez, a fellow of Silliman Col- lege, came to Yale in 1954, after two years at Tulane, and is an Assistant Professor of Latin American History. Originally he studied Spanish at his native state's Uni- versity of California tBA. 19416, M.A. 19481,.bef01'e earning his Ph.D. there in 1952 with a dissertatxoh on Spanish rivalry in 17th century South America. Widely traveled in Europe and Central America, Mr. Rodriguez was a Morse Fellow in history last year, visiting west- ern Europe. During the war, besides studying at the Universities of Grenoble and Illinois for the Army, he saw action in Europe, and if pressed will admit he brought back 21 Purple Heart and three combat stars. MAHMUD Y. ZAYID was born in what is now Jordan. and graduated from the Government Arab College of Palestine in Jerusalem. After several years of secondary school teaching in Palestine, he went to the University of Cairo to study history. M'r. Zayid then returned to secondary school teaching, first in Kuwait and then at American University in Beirut. Lebanon, where he also received his MA. and began college level teaching. Professor Ralph Turner persuaded Mr. Zayid to come to Yale for further study. His teaching career at Yale began when Professor Turner became sick and Mr. Zayid was asked to substitute for him. Currently, he continues to aid Professor Turner, and he teaches Arab Political History Since 1500 as an Instructor in History himself. His background makes him very effective in presenting the nature and problems of the Arab World. He is pre- paring his doctoral dissertation on the Anglo-Egypt Treaty of 1936. and is also writing a book, Hiirtary of 1118 Aral; Coulm'iex I'II llye 20113 Century. Professor RICHARD A. GARD displays an intense af- fection and interest for his held: Buddhism, both as a way of life and an organized system of belief and practice centered around the teachings of the Buddha. Mr. Gard did his undergraduate work in political theory at the University of Washington, but his developing interest in Buddhism led him to do his graduate work at the Oriental Institute in the University of Hawaii and later in Japan. After serving in the U. S. Marine Corps in World War II, he returned to his studies at the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania and later at the Claremont Graduate School, where he was awarded his Ph.D. in 1951. Be- tween that time and his coming to Yale this year, Pro- fessor Gard taught Buddhist history and thought at Johns Hopkins University and later at Buddhist universities in Japan, Burma, Thailand and Korea. Through corre- spondence and periodic visits, Mr. Gard maintains his strong ties with living Buddhism in East and Southeast Asia. He spends much of his time in his Buddhist library, one of the best in this country and now housed in the Divinity School Library where he is preparing a Classification scheme for Buddhist libraries, textbooks on Buddhist education and political and social thought, and a history of Madhyamikzl Buddhism. m Three past personal associations have been the most im- portant influences on the academic life of Associate Pro- fessor STEPHEN W. REED. The first of these was with Yale Professor A. G. Keller, whose Anthro. 10 course first stirred Professor Reed's interest in the behavioral sciences, an interest that has grown with further stuly. During his progress toward a Ph.D., awarded by Yale in 1959, Professor Reed enjoyed the second of these reward- ing associations. This one was with the men and women of the Kwoma tribe, a group of New Guinea head- hunters whom Margaret Mead had decided were too diHicult to study. The third association was as a junior member of the Yale faculty, and it was with Bronislaw Malinowski, one of the greatest social scientists of this century. Out of these associations came Professor Reed's hrst book, Tlae Making of Modern New Guinea, 9. study of the interaction of natives and Europeans. From 1942 to 1946 Professor Reed served in the Navy, receiving a Bronze Star and six Combat Stars. Since the war, the pressures of teaching have not permitted Professor Reed to make any field trips, but he hopes in the future to travel to Africa. Associate Professor of Economics CHARLES E. LIND- BLOM came to Yale in 1946, after receiving his B.A. at Stanford and his PhD. at the University of Chicago. Mt Lindblom has always had an interest in the fields where economics ancl political science converge, and thus he is active in both areas, In 1951 he held a Guggenheim Fellowship and later he was :1 fellow at the Center for Advance Studies in the Behavorial Sciences. Mr. Linde blom also assisted former Connecticut Governor Bowles 0n the problems of housing and compensation legislation. At present, Professor Lindblom is on a committee on Latin American economics for the Twentieth Century Fund, a consultant for the RAND Corporation and a consultant to a United States Senate subcommittee. On the Yale scene, he is an advisor to the Political Union and has written Polilitx. Ermmmiar mid 91de with Mr. Dahl and Uniwu' and Cupimlii'm; he is working on several books now What time he can salvage from this busy schedule is devoted to woodworking and sculpting. Next year he will he a Ford Faculty Fellow in economics. As a Yale undergraduate HARRY R, RUDIN, Colgate Professor of History, had one history course, and that an exceedingly dull one. Two years in China with Yale-in- China, however, made him aware of a completely alien culture, of the problems of the modern world, and 0f the need of knowing history. Returning to the United States, he taught for four years at Hotchkiss before en- tering the Yale Graduate School, where he studied diplo- matic history under Professor Seymour. After getting his PhD. in 1931, he spent a year in Europe and Attica, collecting material for a study of the German colonial administration of the Cameroons. He has been teaching at Yale since 1927. African histow has long been Pros fessor Rudin's special interest, and his undergraduate course on contemporary Africa is one of the most re- spected on the campus. Stressing the fact that we live in a world in which the destinies of men are being decided daily, Professor Rudin also teaches a freshman course on current world problems and their background, using the New Yorle Time; as a text. In addition to teaching. Professor Rudin is a fellow of Pierson College, a mem- ber of numerous societies, author of many articles on diplomacy and on Africa. and a frequent lecturer on contemporary affairs.

YALE KEY HE Yale Key this year has continued to carry out its main function of greeting visitors to Yale. All athletic teams on both the varsity and freshman level are met by a Key member, given maps and student directories of Yale, and have a chance to ask any questions about the Univer- sity that members of the teams may have. As a reward for performing these duties, the members of the Key receive passes to the Yale athletic events. In addition a Key member is available each afternoon in the Admissions Offlce to take boys interested in coming to Yale on tours of the campus. These tours are not on any pattern and provide a Chance for prospective freshmen to talk informally with the Key member giving them the tour. This year for the hrst time the Yale Key as- sumed the responsibility of handling the National Student Association on the campus. Mike Sam- 51 uels and Dick Strub were Yale,s two representa- tives to the NSA convention held at the Univer- sity of Illinois last August. During the school year the Key helps to publicize the NSA,5 sum- mer European tours and to provide speakers of the NSA a chance to speak at Yale. The Yale Key is composed of twenty-five jun- iors and four seniors. The juniors are elected in December of their sophomore year, twenty from the colleges and five from various organizations on campus. Four OHiCCI'S are elected in the junior year to guide the Key during their senior year. This year the Key changed the policy of hav- ing its bi-weekly meetings in the Ray Tompkins Lounge to holding supper meetings in Jonathan Edwards College. In addition to these meetings the Key had a picnic on college weekend and a party after a victorious touch football game With the Crimson Key on Harvard weekend. Burk Razv-Smith, Oser, MacLean, Webb.

Train III HE fortunate thing about writing an article dealing with one of the Yale colleges is that there,s not too much that hasn't been said in the way of either complaint or compliment. This leaves the writer free to work out his own unique contri- bution secure in the knowledge that there is a large body of common attitudes he shares with his readers. He is also secure in the knowledge that whatever he says wont make much differ- ence. No one has put it so succinctly :15 a reHect tive senior who commented that If people really were worried, theytd talk about the college before the last month of the last yearf' In any case, it certainly seems ironic that official analysis of our colleges, our lives in them, and Of what the whole situation means to us waits until we couldn't pos- sibly do a thing about them. The initial year of the post-Mendenhall Era has come and almost gone; Berkeley survives. Under the new and capable administration of C. A. XValker, the far-flung domains of the good BishoP have been as lively as ever. VWhat had seemed engrained and permanent marks of the Berkeley personality now appear only as faint echoes of the past. There survive only one-third of the Berkeley members who remember more .of Uncle Tom than they do of good old Charlie. Even for these, the place seems pretty much the same: the gates to the North Court still close too early; and Berkeley remains at the bottom in Tyng Cup Competition. Without becoming maudlin, we who are leaving this year might do well to relied upon the ease with which Berkeley survived the exit of so integral a part of its character: how much more nicely can it manage without us! The history of the year in Berkeley is best told as a series of impressions. There was the first contact with Mr. Walker, early reservations van- ishing before his interested, lively, and confident handling of new responsibilities. In the Fall, the football team soon had two coaches who could hardly walk, a captain who played without regard for life or limb, and a world's record for yards penalized on one play. With its large coterie of gentlemen ball-players, the touch football team made a fine showing against the Hessians of other colleges. Meanwhile, back at the gates, it was soon noticed that gown's latest hopeful capitulation to town had re-routed seeming hordes CIJ..'rlu.t R. Il'izltw'. Mutter of shoving, crowding transients through our hith- erto quiet passageways. As usual, a new Master's Council was elected, and as usual everybody won- dered why. The social season progressed contro- versially; open warfare threatened to break out between the musical primitives and those Who felt that anything Other than hygienic dance music of the Lester Lanin school was despicable. It was not long before a noticeable political ferment began to manifest itself within Berkeley. CLASS OF 1960 um-m oxxdam . ugwm K It seemed as though somehow we had gathered in the entire left wing of Yale. Greeted with skepti- cism at first, this new cry for social knowledge- ability proved its staying power by providing most of the impetus for the highly successful series of Challenge lectures and seminars. One can not help but wonder, though, what the good and staid man of God who lends his name to these hallowed halls would have thought about such unseemly dis- plays of enthusiasm. We know already, of course, what the Yale Daily News thinks of it. In any case, the spice which Our Own Radicals have pro- vided the past year has made for a more reward- ing time both in Berkeley and in Yale as a whole. Another group of Berkeley activists have quite successfully devoted themselves to the goal of bringing the best in folk music to Yale. Styling themselves as The Indian Neck Folk Festival, these aficiandados 0f the old songs have shown that neither professionalism nor apathy has made impossible the realization of at least a few dreams. Another College project in which members of Berkeley took :1 leading role was the surpris- ingly well-received College Arts Festival of the Winter. It was the more unusual, in that those who were the moving force behind the idea kept themselves out of the limelight; for once, a col- lege activity was allowed to stand on its own without the added load of serving simultaneously as a propaganda vehicle. With 1111 this high-powered, if honest, organi- zation, it might be assumed that any kind of the more informal cultural pursuits have been over- looked. Such is far from the case. Particularly notable in this respect have been the opportuni- ties for and stimulation of small gatherings af- forded by the efforts of two of the most active 92 u? m: m m Berkeley Fellows, Mr. Turekian and Dr. Latour- ette. Further examples of individual enterprise abounded throughout the year. The infamous Berkeley Snack Bar changed munugership and broadened its refined selection of condiments and goodies to include milk shakes, sundries, and ice for the weekend. A new television set W215 finally acquired, much to the chagrin of the many elec- trical engineers who had acquired fame and status by constantly being in demand to tune the 01d one--f0r the benefit of the more classically edu- cated watchers of Maverick. In a more traditional realm of entertainment, the Berkeley Players pre- sented, in addition to their usual full scale gains, reasonably weekly readings of well-chosen dra- matic works. The High Street Herald, the long defunct Berkeley house organ, mysteriously ap- peared againehopefully for more than a single issue. Finally, in the ultimate gesture to spon- taneity and the individual, Berkeley's Impromptu Speaking Contest offered three cases of beer to the man who could most convincingly talk as though he'd just finished them. In the face of such noble aspirations, it is heartening to note that certain of the less esoteric activities were happily supported by Berkeley. The famous North Court target practices served notice that, whatever the snow-bull's official status, it still affords opportunity for the good Clean fun Cherished by vandals everywhere. Those who didnit wish to break windows, of course, could always maintain ambush against the cross-Campus. Rampant bohemianism in the college elicited in- creasingly unzwaiiing efforts on the part of our sartorial guardian to substitute the required tie for the non-sanctioned scarves and ascots which bedeviled propriety. The Senior Class Gift Fund once again struck from :1 Berkeley lair against the piteously protesting pocketbooks and bank state- ments of Yale seniors. In the course of the year an outbreak of marital fever threatened to engulf the concept of college solidarity completely, but fortunately for the University budget the more conservative mass of members finally had to set: tie for Heeting glimpses of their more courageous acquaintances to see anything of conjugal bliss. One thing:y about Berkeley yielded to no force whatsoever; entreaty, threats, curses and damna- tion, even the onslaughts of automation failed to speed the meal-time lines in the Berkeley dining room. They remained the slowest known to man; instances of near collapse were hardly uncommon. Fortunately, in the interests of student egotism a new policy of name-calling has been instituted for the dining room staff, so they were able to summon the proper roommates. When the kitchen was finally reached, though, the wait more often than not proved worth it. A better-cooked, more plentiful, and less begrudged supply of every- thing seemed to be on hand for student consump- tion. When there is peanut butter at breakfast and seconds on lunch-time hamburgers, can the gas- tronomical millenium be far away? That was the year, then. We had the longest lines and the lowest scores. We lived with the people who set up a meaningful program of po- litical education as well as with the ones who broke twenty-eight windows in one afternoon of snow-balling. We got a new Master and an old indifference. As usual, we lost books from the library and spoons from the dining room. There were, naturally, too many people and not enough places. In short, it was a year just like the other two that the hardy, weathered seniors have spent here. The story of one yearis activities in a college, though, can not express the meaning of a full experience in the college life. In the hectic rush of events there is a tendency to ignore or to overlook that which stays outside the particular and is at least relatively general and enduring. Thus there is a meaning to what has too often seemed merely a disordered jumble of unrelated occurrences and people. Out of all that has hap pened in the past three years we ought to be able to point to some relations, some kind of experi- ence that is common to most, if not all, of the motley crew that has been forced to live under the same roofs for so long. Berkeley College as an institution, though, is not much to speak of. With reference to any kind of loyalties or feelings it is a house, not a home. To those of us who live here, it is a couple of rather stolid, if not pretentious, castle-like build- ings which contain our living quarters. There is no Berkeley tie, no Berkeley ring. Certainly no one would ever have the temerity to suggest even for fun that we do our best for God, for coun- try, and for Berkeley. Those whom we have met here are identified in our minds not as fellow members of Berkeley, but as whatever kind of individual they happen to be. Berkeley College the abstract concept arouses little more than a mental shrug 0n anyonels part. Now it is doubtful that such a pessimistic judgment could stand unqualified even with to- dayls apathy. Of course, it can be qualified. Berke- ley, or at least our experience of living in Berkeley, has meant considerably more than the same time spent living at the YMCA would have. The meaning comes from what might be called the Berkeley character or personality. It comes from the image we have of the people who comprise the members of Berkeleyestudents, faculty and administrators. What we see of all their personalities makes one part of the Berkeley personality; what has happened makes the other. The character, personality, or meaning of Berkeley, then, can very simply be defined as what we who live here have had in common. Obviously, most of the events of the year were experienced together; at the very least, one could talk about them with everybody else in the col- lege and be sure of some common knowledge. We all knew the same people, went through the same doors, and complained about the same food. Essentially, then, our life as members of Berkeley has meant existence in one general area, at least some communication with those others thrown into the same area, and a series of shared ex- periences and personalities there. This is, per haps, a very unglamorous approach to what is pointed to with great pride usually by people who live elsewhere, as the keystone of Yale life. But it is the only relevant approach; living in Berkeley has meant just that. The two most noticeable personalities of our three years here have been, of course, our two masters. We were welcomed here by Mr. Men- denhall at the end of freshman year; his comings and goings gave Berkeley a special aura of live- liness for two years. It was said that uMenden- hall is Berkeley College, and with good reason. His personality was a center, a tangible evidence that there was such a thing as Berkeley College and that it had an interest in and for us. When we heard in Junior year that he had been se- duced from us to more exotic callings there was a very real sense of loss and even of despair. In one year, though, the presence of Mr. Walker has proven that we we could get lucky twice, and at the same time demonstrated again how dependent the college is upon the person- ality of its master. Wlith a quiet confidence Mr. Walker picked up the cudgels of Berkeley life with a will and has even increased its tempo. He was always there, always making the effort to build up a closer, more active life in the college. The extent of his own personal success is evi- dent; the measure of the man was that he was approachable to all of us. As one of the more dynamic residents put it: Charlie Walker has done one hell of a job. There were other opportunities to relate our- selves to the same personalities and experiences. Mrs. Bennetto managed somehow to learn all our names and all our records, and to keep a careful watch on both. Morris looked after every- one's morals and an efficiently lethargic dining room staff looked after our appetites. The same painters came to all of us and made the same mistakes everywhere. A great many of us ran from the same policemen on last year's fateful holiday. Those in the North Court got angry in the same way when they were locked out at two o'clock every evening. And everyone forgot his tie in the dining room at least once. At times, it may have seemed as though it was the things we didnt do tor at least not many didl that united us. We were together in a gen- eral ignorance of what subtle aims the Master's Council sought for us. Few went to the Student- Fellows dinners. Most missed the Hoover Fellows when they were around. In general, we managed to stay away in droves from any meeting or activ- ity that seemed to require an effort at partici- pation. But there were the good times, the instances when you thought that the whole idea was work- ing as well as it couldmand it could work pretty well. There were, naturally, the new peoplea mostly tentative acquaintances, but soon a few new friends. There were the parties which came off well in spite of disorganization and general disbelief. Most particularly, College Weekend always arrived. It was the best time; everyone was there. We went out as groups, but easily scat- tered around in the pressure of the general frolic. We finally could see that we were a group of people who did have something in common- Berkeley College. Most of us didnit let it worry us, and all forgot it at times. Nevertheless, it is somehow a feeling that held us together with about two hundred other people for three years, and we appreciate it. BRANFORD 95 by N eil M . H errz'rz g 0 one plays football in Branford courtyard. No one has ever seen a Negro face in the Branford College Directory. No one can pin the right antiquarian names on the three side court- yards where most of our residential experience takes place. The mm'en regime may take more than eight months to erase, but Branfordites 0f the Class of 1960 have had a glimpse of the radical difference a maner makes in an artificial community such as a residential college.

He had but a short journey to the Masteris Office, but he has borne the 031cc with measurable success since his formal arrival at the High Street address. For the 43-year-old associate professor of philosophy- who still maintains an active teaching schedule and serves as director of graduate studies in his departmentethere have been few easy solutions to the IBM-induced dilemma of the not-so- authentic college. He is forthright in reminding cynic and critic alike that before relationships may be adjusted, a clear and distinct understand- ing of mutual expectations must be arrived at. The cynic's allegations cut deepest when they are based on superficial investigation and logic. By way of refutation, we borrow :1 note of cau- tion from Mr. Schrader: HA great many students don't know what they want from faculty-student relationships. Such contact can be fruitful if it takes place within the context of the University intellectual life. The student needs maturity enough to talk about things of interest to faculty members, and in this respect a good deal of initiative has to come from the undergraduates. Initiative in Branford has been so preoccupied that we might do well now to heed the Masters advice, recognizing with him that llinitiative has to come from undergraduates in all aspects of Branford College life, just as we adulate the same principle in our Yale experience. On their own initiative, indeed, Branford men did the microcosm proud during our three-year stay. Bob Ackerman at Ivy Magazine, Jim Otta- way at the NEWS twith Al Pergam and Sandy Dugan in faithful assistancel, Clint Brooks and Bob Sugarman at the WYBC mikes all found their voice in the Yale communications tangle. Dave Wood, president of the Glee Club, Rob Northrup, head of the Bachelors, and Bert Danet, manager of the Band, all jumped on the Yale musical merry-go-round. An impressive repre- sentation from Branford, all in all, in the mogul jungle of extra-academic Yale. Assessing their respective inclinations, these men did not hesitate in channeling their enthusiasm through the estab- lished means of expression. In athletics, anford men excelled too, picked for nearly every varsity team. Dave Dominick, Jim Maxymillian, Al Leisenring, and Bill Bind- loss harnessed their capabilities for the greater glory of Yale on land and sea. We even had a business mogul, Gerry Levine of the Student Laundry. Lists of names are tedious, however, and belong in another section of this book. We call them to witness here not for themselves but for the principle of individual initiative and ac- complishment they illustrate. Wlhat happens, then, when these given talents are arbitrarily assembled in an entity called a residential college? Practically nothing. They are not expected to reproduce for the benefit of the microcosm a Branford student laundry or monthly magazine. The death of the highschool- ish Tower Bzzllelin and the successes of its more inane counterparts only serve to illuminate the futility of duplicated, appearance without dupli- cated endeavor. Nothing will make the colleges more artificial than the senseless attempt to mirror Yale Colleges quasi-professional, non- academic activities. Tradition cannot be imposed from above either, for it is not the duty of the Masterds Office to generate the enthusiasm neces- sary for the perpetuation of minor college functions. We turn back to the critics and askeif they are interested in petty dialecticeWVhat is to be done? and then Who is to do it? Answers to both questions must be forthcoming from the George A. Scbl'adw', I71, Maxim Three Estates of the College Realm: The Master, the Fellowship, and the Students.

We may thank Mr. Schrav der for his cautious skepticism in this respect, for it has been his aim to generate an atmosphere of cordiality without staging teas and rearranging the Dining Halleto make the barriers of aca- demic status porous without insisting on their total destruction. Under his tentative instigation, the new Bran- ford Forum brought us informal edihcation on Policy Dilemmas in the Middle Eastf uThe Uses of Karl Marx for History, and i'Some Re- fiections on the Beats. Three professors tas of 98 M t 25;th a an a x gr this writing spoke to the Branford audience, which if left to the confines of dining hall prac- tice, might never have been thus exposed. Some of us occasionally enhanced our faculty contacts over coffee and doughnuts in the common room. In these subtly instituted opportunities, we missed neither the classroom nor the Utopian student- faculty beer party. The Branford-Pierson Concert Series afforded us a few more pleasant evenings, although we somehow never found time to re- spond to the call for student participation in per- formances. We see in such beginnings a promise of better understanding, accomplished by the pet- suasion of opportunity rather than by the dictate of rule. The Second Estate has its problems, too: From Hpublisher perishf t0 overcrowded schedules, and busy personal lives, it turns its reticent at- tention on an undergraduate college which is only partially absorbed in the intellect. XVith limited time and energy, it cannot offer unlimited atten- tion to a flood of student trivia without resenting some of the demands on its time. In Branford, unfortunately, the vicious circle of mutual reti- cence has led to apathy and distaste on both sides of the lecture podium. A medium of communi- cation which does not confuse the roles of the participants or make excessive demands on their personal limitations remains to be found. The sophomore counselor system, Branford Forums, and Resident Fellowships provide only the typical .rz'limtiom. As yet we have seen no distribution among students or faculty of Mr. Lawrencels es- sential dynamism; we wish it were more con- tagious. The crux of the residential college dilemmae and Branford is trying desperately to be a resi- dential collegeelies in the confusion of para- doxes that is the Third Estate. As Mr. Schrader suggests, a definition of expectations must be the starting point of any discussion; but here the collective expectation is both contradictory and unfair. Branford cannot become an Oxford-styled House of Intellect as long as its Fellows and students retain their primary obligations to the University. Branford cannot become a true micro- cosm of Yale College in any non-academic sense as long as College-wide obligations absorb the full-time talents of her busiest men. For reasons we have already touched upon, Branfordites can expect precious little from the Fellowship: a modicum of unembarrassed access to the resident members, and, with the non-resident, a potential for modified contact outside the classrooms. In effect, the only realistic expectation Branfordites may cherish is the minimal hope that their resi- dential college will feed and house them during three years of taxing activity at Yale. We would suggest, finally, reappraisal of needs and the possibilities of fulfilling those needs within the Branford context. The college has found a Master who regards his Third Estate as valuable individuals without ignoring or slob- bering over them. The Third Estate can respect Mr. Schrader both as a teacher and in his ad- ministrative capacity. It can in no sense feel cheated by the Fellowship until it makes itself attractive to that Estatels members. Student- faculty contacts on a more expansive scale will remain a vain hope until 411 Branford residents think more of their residency than boarding- house occupants do. In tle meanwhile, Bran- fordites can expect little in the way of extra- curricular embellishments until they understand that college activitiesgsocial, intellectual, and athletichcannot compete with what Yale offers as a whole. Semi-spontaneous initiative from all Three Estates is a weak tack, to be sure, but it remains the only possible solution to the fruse trating questions we have raised. IOO by 11727112sz A. Henry OR three years Calhoun was our home at Yale. In the fall we toasted the passing of the trolleys. In the winter, to remove the tension of exams, we threw snowballs from the roof at the unsuspecting freshmen on their way to Com- mons. And in the spring, when May finally at- rived, we all went out to Double Beach and flew kites for a bottle of scotch. We did these things not because we were attending Yale, but because we were members of Calhoun College. As freshmen, no one asked us where we might like to live during our next three years at Yale. With the impartiality of a machine, the Alloca- tions Committee pulled our names out of a hat and, as we learned from some nasaI-voiced radio announcer, put us in Calhoun. When the an- nouncement was made, most of us received the news with mixed feelings. We were disappointed not to have gotten into the one college on which we had set our hearts; and, at the same time, we were pleased not to have been shipped off with- out mercy to some secluded, far-distant corner of the campus. The entry of our names into the Calhoun roster came as an unexpected compro- mise for most of us. We knew very little about Calhoun at that time, even though we had walked past it every day on our way to Commons. To us, Calhoun was nothing more than a building. We looked with envy at the figures sunning themselves high up on the slate-covered roof, but we had no idea what went on within its neo-Gothic walls. It was common knowledge that Calhoun had once been a jock', college; but we knew that this reputa- tion had died with the institution of the alloca- tions system. Had Calhoun been a secret society, we would not have known much less about it than we did. Few of us will forget our entrance into the lHoun. Paying our last respects to the dormitories of the Old Campus, we picked up our beer mugs, Yale banners, ash trays from the Stork Club, and other curios acquired during freshmen year and moved across the street. It was a welcomed change. If nothing else, Calhoun was at least more architecturally attractive than the freshmen dorms. Moreover, we discovered that we no longer had to trudge several blocks for our meals. A dining hall, library, squash courts, and many other facilities were now all conveniently located under a single roof. A life of ease lay before us CLASS q. 22 W. if? .33: I1 1 m! M .a- Archibald S. Fam'd. deler . . until we discovered how difficult it was to fit two beds, two desks, and two bureaus into our bedrooms. The second smallest college on campus seemed to have the second smallest rooms as well. Nevertheless, material comforts were not the only benefit that we had expected to receive from life in a residential college. We optimistically anticipated the contacts we would be making with OF 1960 ' 'x - I II t m a? other students. When we came into Calhoun, however, and looked around at the upperclass- men, and then at our own classmates, we were bewildered. There was no distinctive trait that identified these students as belonging to Cal- houn. The typical ll ,I-Ioun man, now that the allocations committee saved us the worry of haVe ing to choose a college, was clearly a thing of the past. We found ourselves surrounded by a mix- ture of personalities ranging from fitst-string varsity football players to Scholars of the House, from English majors to engineers. We were ini- tially intrigued, and then confused, by this great hodgepodge of people into which we had been immersed; and in our confusion we added to the disorder by forming our own little cliques. Per- 102 haps, though, this was the benefit of having a diversity of personalities present in the college: no matter what our own interests were, we could always find a few others with whom we were compatible. We will always remember those small groups of friends that we belonged to in Calhoun. But they are not the only people with whom we be- gan to associate the name Calhoun. We soon discovered that part of the personality of the 'Houn came from the people who made it run so smoothly. Lydiais smile would always greet us when we stepped into the Masters Office, until she left and was capably replaced by Winnie Murck. Edna, stationed behind her desk in the dining hall, continually amazed us with her re- markable memory for names; and Dottie Roubal, a transfer from Silliman, proved herself loyal to the ,Houn by keeping us all well-fed. And there was Jessie, who always had a kind word for us, even on those miserable, rainy days when the sun would disappear for a week at a time. The Fellows of Calhoun were another signifi- cant dimension of the overall personality of the college. Mr. Walker, whom we regretfully lost through retirement in December, 1959, will be remembered for his interesting and informative talks on the workings of Wall Street. Nor will we forget the humorous speech and witty con- versations of novelist Kingsley Amis, who Visited Calhoun as a Hoyt Fellow. As we came to know the fellows better, we discovered the rewarding experience of eating lunch with Brand Blanshard and the chagrin of falling prey to Mri Hatdingis skill with a ping-pong paddle. Although we may have wished for a few more informal student- fellow activities to acquaint us with these mem- bers of our college, we really had only our own lack of self-initiative to blame if we failed to benefit from the presence of these fellows. Regardless of what other personalities the memory of Calhoun may evoke, we shall always associate its name with that of its master, Mr. Foorcl. His genuine interest in the student life of the ,Houn earned him the respect of all the resi- dents. Whether in his office or out on the college athletic fields, Mr. Foord displayed a widespread concern for Calhoun and its members, making us proud to have him as our master. Some of us will remember him from our history seminar, others from chatting with him over the table at coffee hour, and others ffom his participation in college athletics. All of us, however, will remember his acts of devotion and loyalty to Calhoun in times of crisis, and our pleasure in discovering that he already knew our names the first time we shook hands with him. When the Allocations Commit- tee removed the student personalities on which the reputation and individuality of each of the residential colleges rested, much of the character of a college fell for support upon the shoulders of its Master. For us, Mr. Foord served in many ways to make Calhoun more than just another college: and for that we are thankful. Mr. Foord was not alone, however, in his at- tempts to make our stay at Calhoun as pleasant as possible. Mrs. Foord, equally at home pouring tea for the students or out whirling around the block on her roller skates, never failed to lend that touch of Southern hospitality which the name Calhoun came to represent. The Masterls House was also the home of Bonnie and Billy Foord. While school kept them fairly occupied, they nevertheless found time to come out into the courtyard and sell us a glass of cold ginger ale or try out the range of a new water gun. The institution of the allocations system had brought the residential colleges face to face with a grave danger: a kind of creeping anonymity which threatened to wipe away all individual distinctions. Fortunately, in Calhoun, we had our Master and our own ,Houn traditions with which we could identify ourselves. Few of us will for- get Trolley Nights, with the beer-drinking dog that turned out to be Handsome Dan himself, or the Christmas Party where mustachioed waiters served us beer and Santa entertained us with his ribald humor. Then too, there were the Foord's fall punch parties, the teas, and in the spring, the ,Hounis version of College Week End, which famous for martini parties one year, matins the featured such star attractions as Olympic gladiae next; and the late-show frequenters, who dis- tors, the Good Guys of America, and a greased played talents in all, fields, including the law. pig in the courtyard.

Kirjbbzmm NE drizzly April in 1957, 100 of us fresh- men greeted Davenport Collegeeour IBM slot for the next three years. We approached with a spirit of adventure, an anticipation ofewe knew not What, but anything other than Filthy Famam. Tales of gilded bath-tubs, private bars, secret lounges in store-rooms were whispered as we marched past the Gothic grey York-street wall, through manicured court-yards framing the Geor- gian red-brick interior, and into the masterts house. That rainy day proved that a ttD,p0rter could not be described in specific terms. As sand- wiches and beer vanished we felt the diversity of interest that characterizes every Yale class. Shrill voices proclaimed the deity of Freud, the incompetence of chemistry assistants, the View from behind Woolsey Hall pillars. . . . The mas- r 3me a i'mm ma ter began his official welcome: Gentlemen of the college . . And amidst the groans of room- drawing we realized we were the gentlemen who would soon live between those Gothic and Geor- gian walls. College Weekend demonstrated the more prac- tical advantages of a lush court-yard. We gained another view of our future. The dance suggested the urbane atmosphere of Davenport social affairs; yet there were many hints of gay spirit. What were we to think of that balding Fellow waltzing to the Charleston? Or of the charming skull es- corted by one of our own classmates? Perhaps the life of a gentleman would prove rather ex- citing. We returned that fall with high hopes, though still uncertain what to expect. Letters from the master tFEW rulesn, the librarian tpaper- backsh, and the athletic aide tFIGHTl greeted us. Mike reset his hat with each 'Tlotherboy, and Mrs. Kinloch's smile assured us that the outer masterls office would be a pleasant place to visit. The awards banquet recognized individual achievement, and we began our sophomoric ef- forts. Something happened to that interest in our new home, however. As classwork and football mounted, Davenport became less important. Many of us were ruining soles in heeling competitions. There was an intra-mural sports program, but varsity activity was far more appealing. Individual interests were far more important than college affairs. One tragic note did shock many of us into an awareness of extra-personal responsibilities: the death of Rolf Yerger cast a somber shadow over the start of our Davenport careers. His bril- liant talent and warm personality will not be forgotten by those who knew and admired him. Social affairs continued to center around foot- ball week-ends a and those who sought college spirit on the dance floor were doomed to dis- appointment. Each dance was an image of the preceding oneaand of the nine other dances throughout the colleges. Our classmates were there ebut who had met them? and where? Certainly not between mouthfuls of Mrs. Daltons delights. One ate with his friends; the stranger at the end of the table was not to be bothered. As for the Fellowsewhat audacious sophomore would thrust himself upon that august assemblage? No, the dining hall was not the place to meet new peo- pleaand as the year progressed there seemed to be even less opportunity to establish new friends ships. A few events spurred general interest. Davenport achieved a record 99.670 participation in the Charities Drive, and the athletic teams, though very low in Tyng cup standings, continued to exist. Rushing, electing, and sometimes even studying absorbed most of our attention, however. Spring brought llanother College Weekend'a and the Universal Croquet Championships. Pre- tenders Chauncey, Liebert, Metzdorf and Porter challenged champions Bing, Finger, Keiley, and Sullivan. Though hampered by illegal penalties from referee Merriman, the class of '60 remained undefeated. With pleasant, if unconcerned memo- ries of our first year in Davenport we left for summer retreats. A new smile greeted us in the master's oHice, and we began to suspect that Davenport had a monopoly on secretarial supremacy. Intra-murals went on, we supposed; dances remained dances, we saw; even the Varsity football team suffered the junior slump. The best activity of the fall was the Davenport Coffee Hour. At last we could let the breakfast eggs run in their pan, sleep through classes, and still not starve until noon. 1958 marked the celebration of Davenport's 25th anniversary. tThe snowball riot was not a planned part of the festivitiesy. Noted speakers appeared as post-prandial guests, among whom were Dean Acheson, Dr. Grayson Kirk, and Gen. Albert Wedemeyer. Our own Alfred W. Gris- wold presented the most delightful talk, though he denied his daughter was taking Eute lessons at the Yale Music School. The appearance of Red Smith as a Hoyt Fellow encouraged sports en- thusiasts; our paddle-ball stars smashed the world record for broken windows. The Hybrid baseball nine ended the season in a tie for first placee the first hnish above fifth in ten years! XWhitmore must have gotten some tips from Coach Smith, The Junior prom brought us to the realization that class ties were for the most part disintegrated. 106 titlittl i v TK .4 1237' mmm:wt Davenport spirit was no better. XVC did not know our classmates, and Fellows remained unreach- able. Yet students were doing things. Blake and Miller were elected captains of track and wres- tling. The York street entry took on the appear- ance of a theological seminary: Davidson and Miller assumed Dwight Hall offices; Bing, Chye lack, Davenport, and Robinson joined them as Deacons; Lodwick ascended to the Episcopal vestry, Wiese joined the class council; Herrara, Jensen, Manley and Thomas became Neuwies; Heyman and Reker sounded off from WJYBC. Capronis attempt to revitalize the H ybrid Herald was short-lived; upholding another D'port tradi- tion, he joined Captain Blagen and Lewis at Derby in the first lightweight boat. Sloat accom- panied them, but took a heavyweight thwart. No one was surprised that Blake received the Francis Brown prize, though few could catch up with him to offer congratulations. Tap-night's excitement added to the appeal of College Weekend and the sack look; the blanket party was a bundling great success. XVe returned for the last Hing with a few seri- ous thoughts mixed into the general enthusiasm; few were certain where they would be in Septem- ber, 1960. Even Minear and Negroponte left Paris to rejoin us. Porter Gate stood as a barred reminder of town-gown problems. Davenport was minus a snack bar and ping-pong room; ten o'clock trips to the Yankee Doodle became an institution. The practice piano was moved to new quarters so that die-hard musicians like Finger- Dmiiel Merrimmz, AL'IJIET hut, Mestre, Wilson and Baruch could pound away until three in the morningaafter flicks. Mr. Merriman was a rare visitor at Davenport that fall, dividing his spare time between Washington conferences and his new Bingham Oceanographic Lab. Refusing an invitation to be- come Y aleis Chief Chef, Mr. Metzdorf became Assistant Master. The bursary staff, shunning a life of ease, went to work under the guidance of Lewis: Library hours were extended, and the CLASS OF 1960 e: r WWaWe i? .th Orange Aide did yeoman service for the football team. And what a football team we had. After years of pedantry, the Hybrids found true spirit. With Banbury, OlConnell, and Walsh playing like pros, only a tie marred a perfect record. For the hrst time in history Davenport won the league title. Odds were 99-1 against our lasting the first half against Trumbull's Terriers. Few games will top that one for drama. Mr. Merriman left his lab, Mr. Porter wore his beanie and Mrs. Merriman, the teams most loyal fan, could be heard uttering dire threats at those awful young men of Trumbull. In a freezing rain Coach Jones, play- ing with cracked rib and separated shoulder, led an inspired team to victory. The final score: 0-0, with an 18-yard offensive advantage for D'port. To prove their point, the Hybrids mauled Dunster House of Harvard by a score of 16-0. doubt run into him in London during the vaca- tions: as a Rhodes scholar he will spend two years at Oxford. Jacobson led the Charities Drive to a new record in Davenport, while Tyng drained more blood than had ever before been collected in peace-time. And as we rushed through those frantic final weeks we began to question what had happened to those grand sophomoric hopes. Had Daven- port become a major factor in our emotional affairs? Had our lives been enriched by stimu- lating discussions with Fellows and students? Did the world of Davenport live up to our early ex- pectations? A few answer an emphatic yes. For we who have wanted it, Davenport has provided a warm life for the past three years. But most answer negatively, and they must consider their personal choices before shouting defiance at the college system. Catching the Tyng cup excitement, the touch football team, spurred on by Allen and Rashbn, almost won more games than they lost. Stafford, Vaisnys, and Walther led the soccer team to sec- ond place. At Thanksgiving D'port was second in Tyng competition; Maynard called California in an attempt to bring Murray Rose to Davenport. Even those who did not participate in the activi- ties noticed the increased excitement. Student activity continued at a swift pace. Ricl- dle and Maynard, Regimental and Battalion com- manders, drew up plans to scuttle North Sheffield. Deutsch again won the Farwell prize in Daven- port, While Wiese and Davenport received the Tinker and Tuttle awards. Lewis was asked to leave the country for two years: he will study at Cambridge as a Clare Fellow. Blake will no 108 For the picture of the residential college as a l'home away from home is accurate only if we recognize certain incongruities in the comparison. Families demand basic unity before they can pro- vide any sense of family life; Davenport is a center of diversity. It must allow students to pur- sue their interests with a maximum of freedom, and its role must not be undermined by that false enthusiasm which suggests that something is ine herently wrong with the college system if every student does not take tea with every Fellow. Davenport must promote and encourage student- Fellow friendships; it must not force students or Fellows into positions neither wish to assume. Sorne D'porters wish to commune only with them- selves; their decision must be honored. If our early optimism was based on a false conception of college life, the fault lies in the advertise- ment and out gullibility rather than in the product. But the residential college must assume guid- ance while stimulating individuality. Faculty and student friendships must be encouraged; if the colleges are guilty of stifling student desire to meet Fellows, the Charge is indeed serious. In this re- spect Davenport, as well as her sisters, has per- haps not lived up to its potential. The high table remains far removed from undergraduate approach. Pre-prandial discussion groups might prove more conducive to meetings of students and Fellows than formal Wednesday processions. Sophomores could be warned of their responsibi- lities in making and. taking advantage of oppor- tunities. For the vice squeezes at both ends. Few Fel- lows would venture to tackle the long tables of chow-hounds. If we prefer constant eating com- panions, we must not blame Davenport for al- lowing us that privilege. If our loss of enthusiasm is due to our failure to seize what is tentatively offered, we must not delude ourselves. It is our prerogative to choose what college life will mean to us; the college must honor that choice while suggesting certain values. If our ties are solely with extra-Davenport affairs, there is no cause for concern unless we feel something important has been lost. For too many this is the case, and though it is too late to remedy the loss, we can pass on a word of advice to future Davenport dons. Gentle- men of the College: it is up to you to choose your college life and to take advantage of Daven- portls benefits. No one will knock on Fellows' doors for you, nor seat you next to a stranger in the dining hall. If these areas are unimportant, recognize your preference and accept the conse- quences. Hopefully Davenport will assume more responsibility in encouraging students and Fel- lows to meet informally; hopefully sophomores will realize their responsibility in shaping the Davenport spirit. Perhaps more D'porters will leave Yale with warm recollections of their Gothic southern mansion than we few members of the class of 1960 who have found in Davenport a source of pleasure, opportunity, and satisfaction. JONATHAN EDWARDS 110 by Gordon B. Chamberlain HEN the allocations first came out, cen- turies ago, we knew IE only as :1 vaguely grubby little place under Weir Hall, rumored to have the worst food and the best Fellows in the University. Since then we have learned better. The amusing ptomaine poisoning scares of fresh- man year receded into myth; instead, Iirst free milk appeared, then a real coffee um and finally individual teapots, while the food improved in proportion. Today, if only ladies out in the kitchen will refill our coffee cups instead of throwing us out, and if the juniors will just refrain from hogging the Whole senior table, and if the bus-boys will go easy on snatching dessert spoons, then we can't really complain. On the other hand, we certainly do have :1 good group of Fellows. Members of the Col- lege, the romantically medieval JE information booklet suggests, may confer with them on per- sonal matters, college enterprises, or education. They may, but more likely they wonltwwhich is unfortunate. Symbolic 0f the split is the Fel- lows'Students Table, that little round one which everybody avoids. A few undergraduates wanted somewhere to lunch with Fellows; Mr. Dunham supplied reserved seats; and then nobody came. True, some of us do know some Fellows well, and even attend their parties, convivial or meta- physical as the case may be; but the general atti- tude on both sides is one of aloof good-nature. Not that IE is unintellectual. Indeed, our uni- que senior super-seminar is so successful that other, less fortunate colleges are thinking wist- fully of imitating it. Although its members admit to occasional confusion when someone talks on a particularly exotic subject, they also feel that out- side criticism is often worth more than insiders' hair-splitting; and besides, half an hours listen- ing will make anyone an expert on anything. provided his mind is sufficiently stimulated by sherry or vermouth from Mr. Edwards own desk. By the same token, HAL meets in JEein fact, it and the Lizzie sometimes seem to think they own the place, or possibly vice versa. We are also the only college with two libra- ries. The New one is for studiers and the Old one for sleepers, and both of them are probably closed whenever you look. As we go to press, the librarians are still looking for undergraduate suggestions on how to spend the $250 book prize won for us by Reeve Schley last year. Either JE CLASS I '1?

Bates Club tfor New York operal and various concerts; these musical events are JE's substitute for evening speakers. Our art shows, also imitated throughout the University, rival the Guggenheim in modernity; the debating club, inexperienced but game, has produced speeches which in some respects surpass those OF 1960 u i .2: 1 Ali , w? in the Congressional Record. For the sake of posterity, all such events are caught and tangled up in llThe Spiderls Web, a publication which has no scope and no purpose ; in a writers phrase, it tries to accomplish nothing. And it succeeds. However, the photos are entertaininge they are almost as artsy-craftily fuzzy as those in the llNews eand the sports info is handy for the large number of collegians who follow JE'S fortunes, in a mild way. Unfortunately, this year JEls athletic fortunes will be just thate-mild. Last years seniors won us the Tyng Cup, which now reposes in the din- ing-hall among others whose meaning nobody knows. HVe were going to have a trophy-case for it, but the Service Bureau was too tired from handing out blue slips to do anythingj This year, all we can count on is the championship hockey team and, occasionally, the football de- fensive unit. All three fall sports continued last spring's trend toward gentlemanly anonymity, as the football offense failed to jell, the touch squad sputtered, and the soccer team lived in daily fear of not having enough players. The fevered Tyng Cup Chasers of 1958-59 have, in someone's dry phrase, ilsettled down into eminent respecta- bility. The tendency toward balance and decorum shows in the composition of the class. The artists are long gone; the jocks have mostly graduated; what remains is '21 pretty respectable bunch of upper bourgeois. We can fairly boast hockey and track stars, a Scholar of the House, some eminent University committeemen, a few lazy NEWSies from across the street . . . but no great monopoly of any one field. Perhaps the best symbol of our supreme upper-middleness is the inordinate number of people who got into senior societies last spring, in a chaotic scramble of locked entry doors, lights cut off at the main, and dark bodies hurtling through windows. Come to think, though, any college that can spoof Tap Night must have some good in it; bourgeois we may be, but we're not as class- conscious as all that. llA bizarre conglomeration of cliquesj' JE has been called by a prominent member of one of them. There are room cliques and entry cliques, high-toned intellectuals, ath- letes, and social servants. As seniors, we probably have some idea who's in what other group, but we seem to talk and eat more with Our sct's ex- tensions in the lower classes. The college itself is just one big happy out-group. Even what unity we do have started by being negative. Many of us have taken a perverse pride in inhabiting the oldest and least comfortable college of all; those in the oldest and least com- fortable section, with its scenic Views of York Street apartment houses, were particular uppity. We were scholarly monks in garrets, all right-e and our promotion to the aristocratic castles 0f the Gold Coast only made us more satisfied with our medieval social stratification. On the positive side, we have been known to get together socially. The councilmen's guild throws numerous parties, among them, well-at- tended dances. These are ainningly terminated at 10 so people can go to the fraternities, as they would anyway. We also boast the Roman Orgy, that unique monument to classic discipline tor whatever you call ity. At the time of writing, this imperial brawl is trying to find a more dig- nified alias. The first suggestion, Toga Party, sounded suspiciously like llpanty raid, so maybe they'll call it uThe Roman Games at Yale? Ittll still be the same old orgy, though. Similarly unique to JE is the Singing Jamboree, which we attend to look at the girls' groups and listen to the JEsters; the latter are probably the colleges single feature most heard from on the outside. Last spring they crescendoed out of obscurity to win campus recognition and lose half their mem- bership to graduation and the Whiffs. Now they too are ueminently respectable. What else do we do to show unity? Well, we gobble banana grinder specialties in the home- made snack bar, dodge pipe drip in the TV room twhen the sets working, and thread our digni- fied way among flying footballs, snowballs, and waterbombs, according to season, in the Great Court. Should the Gilbert and Sullivan Society, which means the JEster coterie, produce a play to match last spring's llBoy Friend, welll presuma- bly attend that on College Weekend; after which, the aforesaid struggling grassplot will, as usual, be full of courtly lovers. On the whole, the college system isnlt so bad. In every Class Book aristocratic St. Georges charge pen in hand on the lowly IBM dragon, in gallant defense of that rather doubtful virgin, College Spirit; in actual fact, the little snob probably isn't worth it, and therels no IBM machine anyway. IE is obviously different from other collegesa more intellectual than some, thanks in large part to the Mastefs persistence, but less group-inte- grated than others. Next year the reverse may be 113 true. But considering that most of us try to live on a University rather than a local plane, the college system in JE works surprising well. We could have made a bigger effort, of course; but why? As alumni, will we remember the society of learners ? The Fellows, as more than a hierarchy of great names, trooping past us to their own place? JE liindividuality ? Perhaps; but more likely it'll be the bulletin boards jocose pleas for more athletic participation, the social events that may yet ruin the fraternities, and the Ancient Custom racket. Let us imagine the final scene of the JE comedy . . . CAP 81 GOWN, OR CAP 8t BELLS? by E. S. Harkness; directed by W. H. Dunham; produced by the Jonathan Edwards Pseudo-Puritans.

Act V: The small hours of Graduation Day; several cliques are holding a farewell party to meet each other for the first time.

Letis quit; this is no thrill if you aren't supposed to be doing something else. OPPONENT: Like serving on the College Council. What the hell did you guys do, anyway? COUNCILMAN: Well, er, we sponsored elec- tions for next years Council.

OPTIMIST: And wilted beet greens instead of celery. Win a few, lose a few. PESSIMIST: As you said when the Service Bureau found our AC hook-in. You know, this place is going downhill. Why, in our day people used to play bongo drums at two A.M. and run motorcycles in the entries. Whatever happened to that? INTELLECTUAL: Nowadays we have stereo instead. Itls noisier. PESSIMIST: Not only that, but the place is overrun by dogs. Everybody has lem. You cant be 21 JE Fellow unless you have a couple of little dogs. LECHER tstill in a private dreamy: What I dont like is the gates. Whichever one you try to go through, itls always locked. INTELLECTUAL: So learn what time they close. That's why welre called a society of learners. PESSIMIST: Let's face it, the place will never survive out leaving.

First of all, it's one in tenoa residential collegeh one of the unique isave for Harvardi Yalie living quarters. Itis got a theory behind it which says it's much more than a dormitory, being a semi-autonomous unit with activities and func- tions of its own that give it individual character and serve as some sort of focus for three years of educating life. What's more, itis got :1 ma- chine behind it, Pierson does, an IBM machine which spreads students in colleges statisticallyo x; 'v like a slot machine giving prizes. 80 there it is: those two white towers and rows of bricks and windows filled With people thrown together by 21 machine are supposed to give spirit and unity to those thrown-together people by the functions and activities and maybe even by the glasses printed with the emblem Pierson. These windows on our right as we walk in from York Street-thatk not Pierson. That's Davenport. But those green doors on the left, theyire offices for some of Pierson's Fellows. Fellows are professors here who get the right to eat 75 meals a term in our dining hall; and if they cant find other professors to talk to, they sit down and ask you what youire going to do next year. A few give seminars for Pierson stu- dents, but mainly we see them on Wednesday night when they come in after the students have been prevented from having transfer students from other colleges, and have been kept from eating after 6:30-mainly we see them on Wed- nesday night when they come in flushed with martinis and sit together on long tables next to the dining hall wall and talk. This is supposed to give the students a feeling of seeing great minds close up. This archway is where the main bulletin board is. That noise is the water pump. This bulletin board is another thing to unite Pierson. See all those noticeseJohn Dewey Society presents Conscientious Objectionea debate ethey tell us about all the activities in the outside world.

We've got football, basketball, and even wrestling teams. And as you notice, we've got a debating team which orates about TV and scan- dals here and in other colleges and proves to other Yalies that Piersonites can think. All these competitive acts give Pierson a public imagea and if we believe it enough we become that semi- autonomous unit. See that man with the brown overcoat coming towards us? Say uGood evening to himathafs Offlcer Crowley, our campus guard. Heis friendly and it makes him happy if you greet him. We go in through those green doors to the dining hall, where Mrs. Joyner is king of the range. As the stomach is the center of the body, so is the dining hall the center of Pierson life. You can only transfer to other colleges three times a week. So, you eat here every day and meet people, and complain about the food, though Mrs. Joyner is about as good as dieticians come, and pretty soon group solidarity emergeseyou recognize more people in Pierson than other colleges. At the end of three years most of your friends are the guys you eat with. See how high the ceiling is, and how straight white the walls areal always feel as if Iim eat- ing on the base of an empty swimming pool and those windows, narrow and way up there are to dive from. Since its so big, and I guess the nicest looking of the dining halls, when Pierson meets as a group, we meet here. At Christmas they serve us cheap wine; and we sing carols; and Mr. Porterehes a musician and the master of our collegesarranges a Christmas musical pro- gram after supper for us. At times like that, some people might almost feel emotions that might Quincy Porter, Marim- become nostalgia when they're old and rich and what Yale consequentially calls Our Alumni. We held College Night in the dining hall this yearathatis a pretty funny show. Out of the blue, after supper, they give us pretzels, distribute beer to minors and even show flicks. The Hicks were pretty incongruous, Yale football highlights, and a real propaganda show for the alumni Which shows the buildings built since 1911; and we heard some guy talk for hours about what his geology department does with alligator jaws, and why they need money. CLASS OF 1960 :IEI ; ' 5:me e xxx' x mm ' aaaw' .'. Ha Let's go underground, that's where most things particularly Piersonish take place. All the rooms for doing things tsave studyingt are in the base- ment. Down our hall to the right, thatis the dark room; Dan Crowley and other photo bugs make pictures there all the time and talk about numbers and light and how hard it is to clean up. Hereis our pool table-new, and quite often with no cues. This is the center of basement life: at any hour of the day you can find Pierson,s faithful trying to reclaim a mispent youtheDon Wall, A. J Leddy, Caesar Naples and other motley members are good at making the little round balls click into each other and the pockets.

Up on the top floor Giff Pierce did one of those things which make Pierson a leading college. He turned his room into the 1467 Art Gallery and exhibited faculty and student art; he and his friends made Pierson stand out as a center of artistic interest. The tower is also famous for people dropping bottles tabout 80 at 21 timey and making noisy parties. . . . In any event this entry is next to the Porters' house and office. Mrs. Por- ter is a very friendly and kind woman; and she and her husband, enlisting the aid of Mrs. Sand- back, our secretary, and Mr. Burr, our assistant master, are responsible for making Pierson what it is. They work pretty hard at it. This courtyard we're in again is another home of Pierson life. Burt Rutledge, John Staz, Garey Knoble, and other athletes play baseball and football here. Sometimes the Pierson council does things and puts a beer keg at the dining hall end, and Doug Blackburn stands around militarily making sure nobody gets beer who didnlt pay his Pierson social dues. After the Dartmouth game we were told we would have a German band play for us, for Pierson is a musical college; it turned out to be a tuba and leftovers from the football marching band, but anyway it was done in the good spirit. Those white buildings are the Slave quarterse theylre what gives Piersonites the nicknames of Slaves. Theylre also a unique sort of dormie tory roomsethe toilets are in the rooms them- selves. It is supposed to be a distinction to live in the slave quarters, and many people try to get in there. It's a great sight on Tap day because a lot of l'wheels 21nd jocksl, live there, and all these guys line up outside the rooms in their dark suits and if its raining they get all wet, and all the guys who dont like Senior Societies jeer and feel good. Let's go in the basement again before somebody drops water bombs or snowballs on usethat's a great Pierson game. We,ve got a squash court and basketball court here and if it's mining and the campus cops donlt lock the doors in the cellar we can walk to the dining halls, without getting wet and you bet that really makes you feel grateful to live in Pierson. Well, here we are out in the open again. See those lights right above the arch of this tower. Thats the library; part of it used to be a squash court. Its one of the best things in Piersone it's got two stories, an old part, a new part, te- serve books, and plenty of room to study. John Bigda runs it. Therels a music room attached With a good record collection and a middle f1 set to play them on. Don't worry about the time on the clock up therewits speed varies from day to day. Well, this is more or less a quick view of Pierson: it's not strongly individualistic, its character is not so definite, its food and facilities are not supere but its sort of nice. You could do worse. It was fun living here for three years. . . . by Ambler H . Mon TO the casual observer, the mention of a par- ticular residential college evokes an imme- diate associationebe it the Slave Quarters, the Chubb Fellowship, 01: five styles of architecture in a single courtyard. The name Saybrook usu- ally brings the response, Oh, yes; that's where they make KDukes Punch' And the very name of ttDuke in this brew might suggest, at least to the political economist, a TrickIe-Down Theory of Pleasant Saybrook Living. Indeed, in the last three years, we have seen a number of these famous punch parties at the Henning's loosen many of the strait-laced atti- tudes which managed to survive freshman year. The presence of a pleasant environment in any UV! g ,2 ' Wm. Vv tit :91 . am Yale college is in many respects dependent upon the family in the mastefs house, and therefore Saybrook is fortunate in being well provided at the top of the ladder. It is, of course, character- istic of Dukemanship to keep in touch with the people in many respects; and Saybrugians still speak of the occasion when they discovered their Master and Dean Robley serving soup in the kitchen, due, we are told, to the labor shortage caused by a snowstorm. Each college during the course of the years becomes endowed by a series of Memorable Events. Among those which we recall most vividly occurred in February of our Sophomore year, and is remembered as the Rock and Roll Party. As the pictures on the bulletin board testified, the event evoked the most ufar out instincts from the mob which participated, including prize-win- hing hood Bill Idol. The same year, Saybrook again made the headlines by staging its own little riot-in-miniature known as the Milk Riot, an enjoyable little skirmish which no one took very seriously. We also remember certain mysterious fires 0n Saybrook rooftops above High Street in the early hours of the morning which sent the sleepy and the curious spilling into the street. This year the Saybrook Arts festival was a more constructive form of history. Part of an intercol- lege affair, Saybrook took an early lead under John Paoletti in encouraging artistic enthusiasm in practically every field. When we recall Saybrook, we probably think most often of those two places where its members : rt-a W .igmfgggwntyg 3Q 'xibwcia$ $$$$in Bari! D. H milling, AIIIJ'IET carry on the vital processes of eating, studying, and generally congregatingethe library and the dining hall. The latter, we are told, was not really meant to be a dining hall originally, a fact which excuses or explains, its peculiar shape and the limitation of its serving facilities. We learn that Our dining hall was once a very posh student rooming space known as the i'Gold Coast in those mystical days of Yale when everything was CLASS OF 1960 Ir. sag ,. , t g- W ; straw 3y: 2?

In our time, however, we know it as a lively, bustling place presided over by Margaret, who knows everyonek name and number in a matter of days, and by Gladys and Vi, long suf- fering individuals with a wry sense of humor and enough sympathy to let the latecomers in to breakfast when Miss Taylor is not watching. One is always aware of other activities than eatin 7 go' ing on along the length of the dining hall, for the art of conversation is not dead at Saybrook. At a round table will be a Challenge colloquium x. 1 b-4 H inql l-e-i t a 4. . . in miniature, sometimes interspersed with wild- eyed outsiders, discussing the Bomb with Say- brook politicos such as John Hoffman, Mike But- terworth, and Kirke XWilson. Nearby, 3 table of part time poker-players, with morning-after cx- pressions, discusses the previous ni ht's exploits. We learn that Fred von Hurter is further in debt, that John OiKeefe was the Big Winner, or that Ted Stebbins hasnt been seen around the tables much since he got married. Athletics is always a favorite and noisy topic, and off to the side in a heated outpouring of facts, figures, and opinion will be Jack Knebel, Bucky Bush, John MacLanahan, and Bob Schoenemann. On the rare but spectacular Big Weekends the dining hall hardly seems the same, due to the invasion of female beauty beginning as early as Friday lunch. At these times, the tables located along the food line are usually occupied by the dateless, a motley crowd which sits by gossiping about the passers-by and remarking to each other on the difficulty of doing any work on such occa- sions. By Saturday night, under the talented hand of social chairman Eric Knutsen and his helpers, the dining hall is transformed into a ballroom, complete with singing groups and the ubiquitous Dukeis Punch. Sometimes it is again converted into a rather good theater, where the Saybrook players put on entertaining and well-attended performances. Probably the most memorable of these, during our brief stay in the 'Brook was My Ugly Broad, a musical bearing remarkable resemblance to 21 long-run Broadway hit. A pleasant adjunct to the dining hall is Coffee Hour in the Common Roomereferred to by council chairman Bill Borders as the best coffee hour going. It is just thatea good place to have late breakfast of doughnuts and better coffee than you can get in the dining hall, to read the Time; slowly and discuss its contents. Here too are made some of the strategic decisions of the var- ious Saybrook sports teams. Under Tom Powers, the Seals made valiant efforts but little score in touch and tackle football, but fared a little bet- ter in soccer. With most of last year's top rate hockey team returning this winter, Saybrook ex- pects to make a good showing on the ice as well as being able to produce powerful basketball and swimming teams. The utruly amateur intercol- lege athletic program is surely one of the most successful aspects of the college system. A perennial problem of generations of Say- brugians is student-fellow relations; and we leave this part of Saybrook life still unsettled, but with a feeling that some progress has been made. It is of concern to the student as well as to the Fellow that there is so little communication between the two, and we wish that our pleasant associations with the Fellows had been more extensive. Per- haps the Fellow system, like other Yale institu- tions, is one of many facets of the academic com- munity which, later on in the lloutside we will regret not having used to better advantage. This year, the creation of lltopic tablesll has made for a more fruitful interchange, and our successors may work out even better institutions. The College system itself is a subject of great debate, not only in the editorials of the N91115: but also among many groups and individuals. Having spent three years in Saybrook, we can naturally point out our own peculiar traditions still in the making and say that we do possess a certain amount of individuality as a college, the allotment system notwithstanding. But to the credit of the college system, it is more significant to focus upon the system as a whole and not to wish for individually differentiated units as the ultimate good. Living within a certain network of towers, courtyards, and passageways, and asso- ciating in everyday life with a varied number of people becomes a way of life. It does not have to be vastly different from Pierson, Calhoun, or Timothy Dwight to be still peculiarly Saybrook; and we will remember our Saybrook identity as valuable and pleasant. 53 . x :3 $. tf 4 h 6 CE i; w 7 hi W t I h h h M ? i h Xx l a t by llVilliam f. Kimz T is hard to say exactly what Silliman College is. It is not, for example, a big secret society; nor is it a little academic college or an ocean linerezmd everybody knows it. Still, we are grateful for the delusion that Silliman is trying to be something, for its failure has been one of those few topics of dining hall talkelike foot- ball and food-that didift grow old in three short years. You can sit down at lunch with a stranger and point out why Silliman fails to be a yacht club. And he, in true fellowship, will offer ideas as to why Silliman is failing to be a rutabaga farm. You emit 13nd an answer to what Silliman is. Ask someone, and 11611 probably say, Nothing mnow. It died when it denationalized? Or may- be, It is like life: since we did not ask to be put here, we are obliged to grumble about it. Certainly, there was little shouting from Silli- manders-to-be, that night on the Old Campus when WYBC announced the college allocations. Silliman, we knew, was only beginning to rise from the obscurity it had enjoyed under the old allocations system. The youngest and the largest of the colleges, no matter what, it was your home. Obviously, Silliman couldnlt help but ben- efit from an even distribution of good guys and bad guys, but realization of this hardly inspired pride. We came with chips on our shoulders. Practically, if not aesthetically, Silliman's phys- ical plant is superior to any other college's. The library is larger and more adequately stacked than any other college library: its crowds testify to its suitability as a place to study. Just as some of us never found the library, too few of us discovered the five squash courts early enough to justify their number. But some say that one movie seen in a squash court is worth twenty games of squash. Certainly all of us discovered, sooner or later, the quad, one of the few on campus where stu- dents are permitted to play frisbee and stickball. For two months in the fall of ,59 we mourned the razing of our major elm. And crowds of us delighted as the quadrangle cats went through their antics on the green. Soon after the beginning of sophomore year, some ever-watchful campus cop caught on to the fact that half our room keys would open the Wall Street gate. The lock was changed within two short months, and our master key became good for nothing but getting into our rooms. They are the biggest student rooms on campus. Yet, when it came time for us to make choices for our senior year, we all ran for singles. Sev- enty-five singles in Silliman and there weren't enough to meet the demand from our class alone. People accused us, variously, of being remarkably conscientious students and anti-social flowers of IBM sterility. But the facts were plain: having more students than it was designed for, Silliman was forced to reclassify triples as quads, and doubles as triples. But few singles became doubles. Thus, one had proportionately more room in a single than in any of the other set-ups. Plans for new colleges promised some alleviation for the overcrowding that seemed a problem all over, but the ideal of a room for every man was un- deniably dead. At least, Silliman boasts the largest of the col- lege dining halls. It also boasted the best dining hall food on campus, until Black Friday in Jan- uary, 1960, When half the college got sick to its stomach. Little more than a year earlier, a silver sugar bowl had been removed from the dining hall; missing for over a month, it was then just as mysteriously returned. Dietician Van Cleve, in stubborn retaliation, had withdrawn all the silver bowls and had replaced them with Chartreuse pottery pieces. For a long time it was thought that she had thus had her satisfaction, but there were those who were convinced that what ap- peared to be accidental food poisoning was in fact another such counter-offensive. Silliman is blessed, most assuredly, in its resi- dent fellows. A few nonresident fellows eat lunch with the students tMr. Stone probably represents this category better than anybody elsey , But on the whole the nonresident fellows hardly existed in relation to the undergraduate in Sillie man. It was Messrs. Imbrie Buffum, Martin Du- berman, Sam Graybill, John Palmer, and Howard Lamar who most effectively offered us an infor- mal contact with the faculty. To be sure, they lived closer to us. But the position could be called favorable only because they were genuinely concerned and interested in undergraduate pern sonality and thought. Mr. Palmer served further as assistant to the master, a position made necessary by the colleges increased significance as an identity within un- dergraduate Yale. The other notable change in the masters office was the marriage of Miss Theodora Pniewski to Mr. Merrill Ross. For- tunately for Silliman, Mrs. Ross kept her job as secretary to the master, and the college could once again be sure that Teddy's heart was in the right place. The position of Luther Noss, Sillimaifs mas- ter, was never clearly defined for us. We could tell definitely that a master was someone to see before you saw a dean: he could discipline and Lullyer Non, MHIIPW advise. Too many of us, however, accepted this as the total definition. Too many of us overlooked the open houses, the sports' parties, and the sophomore dinners at the Nossesi home, thus missing the affability of Mr. and Mrs. N055; these people did not allow the Master to become anything but the disciplinarian who lives over there. They were insensitive to his warm regard for us and for the college because it wasrft dis- CLASS OF 1960 played with colored lights and cannons. There was, however, gratitude that no com- plaints were registered from over there, from the windows of the Masters House; for complaints would not have been out of order. The stringed instrument and folksong renascence in Silliman knew some of its brightest flowerings after 1 A.M., in the southeast corner of the courtyard. If any group is to be accredited With the great- est contribution to the definition of Silliman, it is the activities commitee. The Dramat apparently played itself out sometime early in 59; and the Silliman Council, as far as anyone could deter- mine, never did anything but hold meetings. But the activities committee attacked the common room With imagination and energy that invariably produced happy mayhem. It was so successful, in fact, that there was overwhelming acquiescence to the ethically suspect, virtually compulsory $10 activities fee twhich each of us found tacked on- to his bursarls bill mzlen he complained about it to the mastery Even the fraternity members co- operated, and theirs was perhaps the greatest right to kick. For the committees guiding principlee that alcohol is an effective substitute for fellow- ship and good willeoriginated on fraternity row, the colleges greatest social competitor: the strata- gem is known as fighting fire water with fire water. The enthusiasm generated for and at the foot- ball dances was out of all proportion to the nor- mally apathetic Silliman self-consciousness. And still more work and more planning went into the College VWeekends, every one an undoubted success, a high point of Silliman ejpi'it I18 carpi. General contempt killed the infant A.N.U.S. award before it had a chance to assume the stature of a tradition, but the discriminating Sillimanders expressed their identities by supporting the Tyng Cup team, twice successful before our eyes. It is uncomfortably fitting that Silliman should be one of the two colleges involved in this ex- travagant spoof of the Tyng Cup, for athletically Silliman showed weak. Although it contributed respectably to varsity squads, Silliman's inter- college record was so poor as to represent fairly 128 the shortcomings of the college as it tried to be- come more than a mastered dorm. The IBM vir- tually guaranteed an allotment of students who could and would participate. Silliman could an- swer for its poor record only by admitting that a lack of college spirit was responsible for the poor tum-outs. The pity of it was, of course, that en- thusiasm for intramural athletics might have helped to create a general enthusiasm. Both chicken and egg in the cycle were sickly. The trouble was that there werenlt enough things to like about Silliman College, at least not enough to amount to anything like pride in its identity. But there were more in our senior year than in our sophomore year. In spite of a so- ciety which accepts as shoe the naturaI-cut, three- buttoned and vested disdain for residential col- leges, spirits like those of the Tyng Cup team and the activiites committee and even the tele- vision club take hold, and grow, and procreate. The chips were still on our shoulders, the con- tempt still in our eyes. But as we left Silliman, we permitted ourselves a synthetic lapse into sentimentality, we heard a tiny voice;far away in the corner of a squash court, all but lost in the din of a party. It was looking a little ashamed of its adolescence and admitting in a shy whisper, 'lMaybe I like Silliman. llli MI, I 'l hm 130 by Edward S. Cabot ENIOR year was a year of great events at Timothy Dwight College. The exploits of our athletes, the passing parade of Chubb Fel- lows, the controversy over a functional TV. room, the birth of Challenge with TD. as in- formal headquarters, the satisfaction of the music lobby, and preparations for that greatest event of all, T.D.'s recession from Yale, were but a portion of what set Timothy Dwight apart spirit- ually as well as physically from the rest of the campus. We are anxious to get down to an ex- planation of this last item tat the moment you read this, T.D. University may be a realityt, but we must contain ourselves. The reader cannot hope to understand the justification for such une precedented behavior, or its full implications, without knowing something of what has gone before. An understanding of the claim to inde- pendence, like all great ideas, springs from an understanding of history. What follows is the history that we've been able to accumulate in the last year. 1959-60 was an outstanding year in T.Dfs program of fellowships to bring notables to the TD. and Yale Community. Under the able dir rection of C. E. Hargroves, who has not yet de-e cided whether to be called Charles or Erwin Ca rose by any other name . . i, the Chubb Fel- lowship program acquired a remarkable degree of continuity in the fall terms. Senator Steve Young lD., Ohiol, Herbert Brownell, Jr. tformer At- torney Generall, and Senator Edmund Muskie l D., Mainel , were each associated with a notable factional or party victory of the last decade. All three Chubb Fellows were outstanding. Mr. Brownell's visit was perhaps the high point of the season. In him we found the ideal combi- nation of features, participation in great events, an ability to analyze them clearly, and a willing- ness to discuss them candidly. The Chubb pro- gram for the remainder of the academic year is to include visits from Sir Leslie Munro tperma- nent representative from New Zealand to the UN. and ambassador to the U.S.l 21nd Koichiro Asakz'ti Uapanese ambassador to the U.S.l. In addition to the regular program of Chubb Fellows, members of the college were also treated to a new fellowship program in the arts and letters under which two notables visit the college . each year. Our first guest under this program was Iris Murdock, distinguished English novelist and Tlmnm; G. Bergin, Mailer authority on the works of Jean-Paul Sartre. Many features of life at TD. contribute to our uniqueness. There is first the TD. athlete, speci- fically, the soccer player, a fine, virile beast second to none in his ability to live down to his reputations? While the football team performed excellently under the leadership of Captain Bob Stone, T.D.'s hooters surpassed the college's brightest hopes by ending the season boasting a CLASS OF 1960 A zxxl .M, 1 n 4, at w :e g 4 ' t -:43 133;. :gsigg tagggkgglgs ,:W V: - v'aww; '13 a we, gr as 34; v - - V x. as. -ss E 3:1 38 m nuke near perfect record of one win and nine losses. The brashest optimists had said it was impossible, but there it was, a lasting tribute to every player's animal instincts. Recognizing the truth about that old pen-sword dictum, T.D. has for the last several years had its own voice, the Town Crier. No one is quite sure how the Town Crier got its name. Some argue that the town part is a reference to that obnoxious bit of New Haven skyline perched atop the dining hall. Others view the whole title as a slighting reference to present and past edi- tors. At any rate, the Town Crier was one of T.Dfs proudest possessions in 5960, thanks largely to the efforts of its fighting editor: Bill Boardman, a modest, softespoken executive type who has characterized himself in his publication at various times as the ruling monarch and Prometheus, but who is best known simply as the leader. In his campaign to clean up the mess in T.D., Boardman recruited a fierce little band of stalwarts which included: Jim Porter, Norm Finkelstein, F. Scott Rylie, John Niener, and others whose names I am not at liberty to release because of the fear of reprisals. Throughout the year Boardman 8: Co. preached the gospel of thinking manls reform. Based on a philosophy that demanded economy and individualism, they offered one major reform as a universal panacea, somewhat along the lines of Henry George's single tax. Open the Grove Street Gate, they cried stridently, and a new day will dawn for the TD. man. This open gate policy was ad- vocated for several reasons. First, the demand was designed to serve as a Clever counterpoise to the University's closing of the Noah Porter gate and was the first in a dramatic series of inci- dents in T.D.eYale relations that were eventu-. ally to have dire consequences which we shall describe in a moment. Secondly, the policy was advocated on the grounds that it would result in economy of time and effort which had formerly been expended in taking the circuitous route to whatever there was outside the Grove Street Gate. Opponents of the scheme argued that the gate marked the end of Yale and students venturing out into the unknown regions beyond were likely to go too far and fall off the edge. Boarclman answered by contending that free choice, whether cthcient or not, was Vital, and would be impos- sible without alternatives, ergo, two gates. The issue was finally settled when Boardman circu- lated a petition to show that the TD. populous favored greater communication with the people on the other side of the gate. The petition did the trick, getting 484 for and only 11 against. t The petition had to be circulated a second time when cynics challenged the first petition on the grounds that the number of signatures exceeded the number of people in the college, including guests. It was then discovered that editor Board- man had obtained a number of signatures by stopping people on the street. The more rigorous conditions of the second petition were explained to Boardman and he went on to a second victoryj There was a second major reform movement during the year, which had to do with the en- larging and improving of the entertainment facil- ities of the college. Though discussed in the Town Crier, this issue was pushed primarily by those involved in the activities of the Mott Wooley Council, members and fellow travelers. During the course of the summer, the college was lucky enough to get a fine new piano, largely through the efforts of Council Chairman Ralph Bryant. Early in the fall term the Council, Jan Fugal 8: Co., embarked upon its major project of the year, that of turning the present cloak room into a TV. room, T.D. men having given up the wearing of cloaks. This new arrangement freed the common room for other purposes and rendered it, in the words of the reformers, truly functional? The money for the project was ob tained from the Masters reserve fund. Perhaps most significant about the proposal was the in- terest it aroused in the college. While debate on the project lasted, Mott Wooley Council meetings were attended by a number of non-council mem- bers who lobbied on both sides of the issue. It would perhaps be an exaggeration to say that the issue promoted togetherness, but it at least aroused a feeling that we were all in it together? Like any other society, T.D., though often en- tertained by the antics of its publicists and poli- ticians, requires more formal entertainers, who can be counted upon to perform on big weekends and other important occasions. tUnhappily, it has never proved possible to train politicians up to this degree of regularity, though they fill the bill in all other particularsj It is for this purpose, and for their own amusement, that the TD. Social Activities Committee, Dramat, and Debate Team first came into existence. The SAC, llnine dollars worth, familiar to us all, in the words of editor Boardman, bears a responsibility for enter- taining T.D. men on major weekends exceeded only by that of the lads' dates. The climax of this termls program came on Harvard weekend when the SAC sponsored a Communist Party featuring John Hadden's famous Purge Punchf' Appropriate decorations were provided by com- mittee chairman Dick Egan and a hand-picked squad of slave laborers from Silliman. Free-hand drawings of Comrades Stalin, Trotsky, and Bergin were featured in decorations that transformed the dining hall into a llbarren, cell-like ballroom. As for the T.D. Dramat, it got off to an early start in its activities by presenting readings at the annual Christmas Dinner. Chairman Jim Hinish led a field of five in selections from Washington Irving. The groups major production of the year, to be presented over college weekend, has not been selected at this writing. T.D.ls debaters have come into their own with the initiation of a program of humorous debates with XVomen's colleges. Under the imaginative and farsighted leadership of Estil Vance and the humble author of this article, the team plans to challenge the Yale varsity debate team to prove once and for all that . . . well, all those things that are proved in situations like that T.D.'s posi- tion at the top of the Inter-College Debate League standings is due to the teams depth and to the fact that one of its members is president of the Inter-College Debate League. The team boasts such stars as Dale Collinson tCollinsonl, Peter Spencer, Peter Garlock tGarlocky, and Berlin Warner thzy We have spoken of T.D.,s past. But what of her future? The men of Timothy Dwight have too long hidden their light under a basket, too long has their college been treated as a useless appendage. Being fully aware of the great re- sponsibiilty that freedom brings, T.D. has re- solved to end all this by seceding from Yale. A number of steps will soon be taken to provide for the needs of the new Republic's citizens and assure its independence from Yale in virtually all areas save minor ones like education. T.D.'s minister of finance and foreign affairs is now negotiating the purchase of St. Elmols, which will be used as a hostel for weekend dates. An underground passage between St. Elmols and T.D. is planned. Small merchants from the town will be invited to set up housekeeping in the passage and will thus provide an added stimulus to T.D.'s economy. Believing that the wars of the future will be won on the playing fields of T.D., Master tnow presidenty Bergin is going to rem- edy a long neglected oversight of the university by providing us with playing fields. Unsightly Silliman College will be leveled so that the ground which it now occupies may be utilized in the training of our young men. lPresumably, those now residing on the land in question will be relocated by the other universityj We think we should mention here that we will stand for no nonsense on this last point, which we consider vital to our interests. We say this only because a few unrepresentative critics at Yale have char- acterized the proposal as aggressive. These men are trouble makers. The peace loving citizenry of the Peoples Republic of Timothy Dwight are concerned only With protecting their rights and the rights of the so-called uncommitted block of colleges as outlined in the Constitution of the Year Bergin. To those who persist in ignoring these rights, we can only say that our campus cops are ready! tIndeed, they are even now engaged in launching a T.D. lad into spacej 5 by Frank H. IVeller, fr.

The sun hazily pierced the clouds, but its heat dissipated before it reached the ground. Few, however, were con- scious of any lack of heat; it was the brightness which mattered this afternoon. This was the day of the championship. A huge crowd stood on the sidelines while the team on the field fought desperately to win. The spectators cheered when the team did well and they mbaned when it did something bad. Other- wise they were silent except for a cat which followed the team up and down the sidelines constantly meowing it on to victory. It began to get dark and things looked bad when out of the color and mud, our man scored a touchdown to win. And the cat was there at the goal line, a huge Victory smile on its face. The crowd also let out with a huge cheer, and someone was heard to remark, That means the championship, doesnt it? Hooray! Then the one who scored the victory touch- down threw the football in the air, for one of the spectators to catch. But instead it landed on the head of the happy, smiling cat and exploded drenching the cat with water. And someone else threw a sac which came down on the cat, ex- ploding full of water. The team had huddled on the field waiting to be mobbed, but the crowd went to watch the drowning of the cat instead. The water bombs came from everywhere. The cat rolled over on its back and stuck up its paws to ward off the water, but this did no good. Soon even the team came to watch the demise of the wet, grinning wet, dying cat. 11 THE GOOD LIFE This place is filled with peoplewinfants, boys, and men.

And they began throwing rolls at those who threw them at the dog, accidently hitting someone else who in return retaliated, and soon the whole place was deluged by a mass of doughy missiles. The dog, mean- while, had finished eating and, uninterested in the goings on, slipped out the back door to go about his business. trilmbltll . . . Trzmzbllll . . . Trllmblell . . . TRUMBULL . . .

It was the last gathering before the end, and everyone was determined to make it a memorable one. All the girls were beautiful, danced well, and were gay. Their hosts too presented a nice pic- ture. Finally, the end of the evening came, and the band began playing the appropriate music. Everyone looked sad. Some started to cryegirls mostly. Isn't it sad? asked one girl. Oh it's so sad, answered another. Isnlt it terrible? asked another to her date: Youll never dance here again. l'It is terrible, he agreed, and be- gan to cry like the test. Soon they were crying, all of them there, and the band wouldn't stop playing. They danced on, cried on, entranced by the music. Still crying they joined in a huge, human circle and began singing to that same goodby tune. And the circle turned faster, faster and faster. And crying and sweating and all hug- ging all they whirled to the music all through the night. A huge, spokeless wheel, they moved un- aware of the noise and smell and wetness until dawnewhen the sun broke through an uncur- tained window. The music stopped and the circle disappeared.

Stepping off the train t he liked the warm, cozy feeling of the trainy, about four red caps crowded around Maxie: each plead- ing to carry his suitcase. Maxie refused all assist- ance and started lugging the heavy bag to the taxi entrance. Maxie quickly tired and decided to change hands. One of the red caps immediately grabbed the bag and started racing through the station. Maxie was enraged and kept trying to catch him, but people kept getting in his way . . watch where youlte going kid, braaack. Maxie ran into dogs, got stuck in the revolving doors, tried to go up on the down escalator. Maxie swore out loud . . . hey, kid, if ya, don't watch're language youll be talking through your gums, braaack. Finally, though, Maxie caught up with the red cap at the taxi stand. The red cap said Maxie owed him a dollar and Maxie said braaack. The red cap said Maxie couldnt get the bag without paying him a dollar and Maxie swore and paid him the dollar. Once inside the cab, Maxie felt secure again. There was something warm and cozy about New York taxis. The cabbie had heard the scene with Maxie and the red cap and asked Maxie where 7 did he wanta go. Maxie said the Hayes Theatre 7 and the cabbie said the Holland Tunnel entrance H-fn rifmmmmymi e MtxMAng J. KITz'mkg r6D J 741m; tiuljfi frat 6 J Mid! away 4y; J ,fdM 071 zduaf Krill it?

He had no idea New York was so big or that it too had jaywalkers. And the cabbie swore at people, buses and cabs and said he never saw so much traffic and that Maxie could never make it on time. Maxie agreed but said he couldnit understand why it took so long, though, since two o'clock .usually isnt a bad time for trafficeeven in East Junction, Kansas. At the Hayes Theatre the cabbie said Maxie owed him fourteen hfty and Maxie said he didnt believe it because New York wasn't laid out that way, braaack. Maxie swore and paid him the four- teen fifty. Once inside the theatre Maxie felt better be- cause it was indeed warm and cozy. Since he was hungry and this man kept yelling orange drink he fought his way through the smoke and people in the lobby and ordered one. Maxie took a long drink and it was gone. The man said thatill be fifty cents sir and Maxie got mad and threw the container at the man. Maxie blew up the Hayes Theatre in New Yorkll Oh, no Maxie. ,TIS THE SEASON by Peter P4211 Bergman The tiny, tasty tendons of the trim, Thanksgiving turkey Have but scarcely been digested, When the unsuspecting highways in ten thousand weary Cities Are bedecked with paper holly.

What would you say was the most signifi- cant factor that contributed to Yaleis Victory over Connecticut? A. I honestly believe that it is always impos- sible to make any accurate evaluation in such a point. Say we scored more points. And let it go. At that. Q. What would you say was the most encour- aging characteristic of this years squad? A. That would be the athletic ability. Q. No it wouldnlt. A. Then it would have to be the spirit. Many of the candidates are making great sacrifices to get out to practice. The three sacrificial Bis. Beer. Broads. Books. Donit kid yourself. Our boys want to play ball. Q. Is it true that you have relatives working for you? A. Fifth Amendment. Q. If Yale doesn't take the Ivy crown, will you feel bad? A. I certainly will, Mr. Wallace. Because I know the boys will feel bad. You can count on that. But there will be another year. Another season. Q. How about that other season? A. Yeah. How about that.

In the audience a man shrieks, Stands, hands to his eye Of glass, shattered. SALVAGE by Iolm Izzy HIUI HE boy fell headlong into the spiney bay- berry bush, but pulled himself out immedi- ately. The rain had turned the steep path into a slick slide and after three days of downpour had exposed a procession of roots. But the boy did not slow down until he reached a large weathered rock that served as a bridge between the steep bank and the shore. A large iron eye had been pounded into this rock years ago and the split it had caused was bubbling over with water. Kneel- ing beside the eye, disregarding the wet stains spreading around his knees, the boy untied a line and tossing it into a beat-up boat, shoved off from the stone dock. The river was gray and fat. When- ever it flooded it would sweep old boats, and chicken-coops, and railroad ties downstream and the boy would salvage. There were several inches of water in the bot- tom, but the boy did not bother to bail. Instead he pulled upstream against the current, watching the debris as it passed through his field of vision. His father, as tall and gray as a limb of drift- wood, had taught the boy to save everything, to salvage anything. As a result the shore beside the big rock was littered with rotten ties, bottomless hulls, broken spars, and several thousand corks. Somehow, the boy felt that today he would find something-perhaps a good boat. He had rowed almost a mile upstream when he shipped his oats and let his craft shudder against the swirling cur- rent and then slowly swing around. This was what he liked the mostasurging down the river, temporarily at the mercy of its power. He saw a large buoy float by and steering with an oar he drew alongside it. As he hoisted it into the boat he glimpsed the pointed prow of another craft protruding from the reeds along the shore. With the buoy bobbling crazily in the bilge, the boy pulled across the current toward the prize. In among the weeds, the floating rafts of dead reedstalks, tested a fairly new rowboat. As he drew alongside the boy saw there was something lying on the stern seat. It was the first time the boy had ever seen a dead body. It wasnt very ex- citing to look at and it was too impersonal to make the boy sick. He carefully tied his stern line to the new boats bow painter and slowly rowed out into the main stream. It was very dif- ficult to rowaevery time he would pull on the oars, his boat would forge ahead only to be jerked back by the drag of the other. He rested 145 on his oats and allowed the prize to nudge his stern. Then he untied the line and drew the two boats broadside. The new boat lay low in the water, especially in the stern and when the boy climbed in there remained only a few inches of freeboard. He had expected the body to be a lot heavier than it was. Exposure had given it a gray, weathered appearance and it looked perfectly nat- ural as it twisted into the water. The weight of the body on the gunwale caused the boat to ship some water, but once it had gone over, the boat rode on an even keel. The boy reversed the lines and transferred the oars to his new acquisition. It was easier to row now, and the boy was eager to see what else he could salvage.

EXCERPTS from CRITERION And so we start another year, ready to utilize, attack, or ignore as best we can, the immensities of The Yale Community. Given such an over- whelming environment, it is doubtless necessary to justify such an anomalous publication as Criterion. It is simply this. In the massive and complex framework which is Yale, there is very little opportunity to think about what we are doing. Reflection on problems which concern us, or at least that part of us which is ultimately in- satiable, becomes too often a frightening luxury. Thus, we are cursed roundly as the lisuch and such generation ; as T. S. Eliotls indictment reads, full of such high sentence but a bit ob- tuse. It is easy to take up the cry. For it is ap- parent that the present line between golden mod- eration and timid sloth is far too often blurred, and it is rather odd that today one is labeled llangrybb if he takes the awful chance of express- ing himself in any but the most detached and somnolent manner. But although Criterion acknowledges the pri- mary validity of such criticism, it feels that cogent accusations have essentially degenerated into carp- ing as empty as the void which it attacks; that sincere reflection and coherent expression can be basically approached in the perpetual need of self-comprehension and enjoyment, as well as the fullillment of serious contemporary obligations. This is perhaps presumptuous; but at that, we must leave it. WORDS . . . by Cbzzrlei Newman :x; 99 $: ...This possibility will, of course, never be more than a thought in the hands of young men if there are not enough persons willing to fulfill it with the recognition that brilliance of any sort can only be born out of real brutality, and that their only obligation to anyone or to anything is to discover the character and dimensions of their own desires and to realize them.

THE PHENOMENOLOGY OF DESIRE by IVz'lliczm Cobb :x: 2e $2 ...All of this is not to imply that the crea- tive individual will see things through a rosy haze of optimism. Mr. Train and I are both re- volted at the stagnation which unquestionably exists in our environment. But I regard this as precisely a vital field of activity for the creative self; and I do not consider it self-evident that the only way to change something evil is to rail against it. Often it is far more productive to spend our energy searching out the seeds of bene- ficial change and helping them grow, and it is exactly this that the polemical personality is in- capable of doing. And finally: I would insist that for the indi- vidual to blame the environment for his own creative failure, as the polemical personality is constantly impelled to do, is, however, justified in a certain sense, ultimately self-defeating and self-destructive; for truly to be oneself is to be oneself in any world. DISILLUSIONMENT RECONSIDERED A Polemical Analysitr by Iobn Andrewr :21 3? ...In concluding I wish to emphasize that I am not herein prognosticating the decline of American Civilization. If one part of the histo- rian in me seems pessimistic and it is a pessi- mism twice over, for no American historian can fail to note the futility of pessimism in Americai it is also true that I share the historian's intuition that man best controls his destiny by intelligently delineating the problems which confront him. I wish to convey my sense that our nation has reached a watershed, that this very moment is decisive in a way few historical moments are. I cannot understand those who say that there are no issues which can today challenge our intellec- tuals into public participation. The issue may be nothing less than the qualitative survival of our civilization; the challenge, the classic challenge of man to control his destiny against the apparent logic of History itself. It is a challenge as mo- mentous as any in history. THE THIRD AMERICAN REVOLUTION by lemme Coben g ...The successes of the Communists and the tide of reversals met by our townl nation have in a way helped us to elucidate our fear. It is this: after a century and a half of easy progress, three decades of adversity have seemingly demon- strated that the great American experiment in democracy is a failure. LIBERTARIAN REFLECTIONS ON THE FAILURE OF DEMOCRACY by Robert M. Scbllclmzmz .v :51: ...In the final analysis, then, I believe that putting an incurable invalid out of intense suffer- ing that will definitely soon result in his death is not to be considered an immoral but rather a morally expedient action. However, because such action is, and must necessarily remain illegal, the doctor must make the choice between committing legal murder or allowing his patient to con- tinue in the painful struggle towards death. If, after considering the matter, his conscience dic- tates that he commit euthanasia, he must be pre- pared to bear the penalty imposed by society. It is obvious that neither the law nor the individual can be considered at fault; yet the two are in basic disagreement by necessity, and a man faced with this problem must determine which he con- siders to be the greater good. In considering this problem, I tried to determine which course I would take if such a situation arose in my future. I have come to the conclusion that it would 0b- viously depend upon the situation. If, in a par- ticular case, I sincerely believed it my duty to put an individual to death, I would do so consid- ering the moral expediency of such an action more important than its possible disastrous con- sequences. MERCY KILLING by Kevin Harrington :33 .w . . . The only course that will be really effective is one of massive counter-pressure from the edu- cated sectors of the populace. There is no country that has in it anything like so many educated men and women as the United States, and there is perhaps no country in the world where this group counts for as little in the realm of public enter- tainment. Hollywood and television are both at- tuned, for the most part, to adolescence, and we have grown so used to this band in the cultural 147 spectrum that we now accept it as our inevitable lot. It is time that the big worm turned. The wave of disgust and anger that swept the educated com- munity in the wake of the quiz scandals was a healthy sign. If only half of us stood together against the values that the screen and 'IV serve up to us, we should certainly get results. We may well remember Adlai Stevenson's classic sum- mons: lEgg-heads of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your yolksf CHARLES VAN DOREN AND AFTER by Brand Blamlam'd :1?! ...With the administration proudly engaged in routing the devils 0f the past, the students busily planning for a secure future, and the fac- ulty remaining deftly detached from both groups, Yale is settling down. It is settling down on the foundation of llcommon sense and an attitude of deceptive detachment. What ought to be four years of growth and of adventure here are 6Xe changed for four years of a specious maturity Characterized by a bland 'lrealismll which causes no one, least of all those practicing it, any grief 0r wisdom whatsoever. In short, four years at Yale have become, for many, a painless waste of time. . What I have tried to say in admittedly polemi- cal fashion, is merely an awkward reaction to four years of disillusionment. It is overly generalized, imprecise, subjective, and perhaps even trite. tThe ethos is so pervasive that it absorbs any attack and perverts it by effete scofflngj I have had difficulty in defining my argument in any objective fashion, but I would contend that this is due to the amor- phous, and for that reason powerful, superficiality of the environment, as well as to my own inability to contend with it. I am forced to exaggeration, but suggest that it is a needed quality. We live in an era of fragmented personality. We are, by turns, a, b, c, d, e, and f, and when we are a, b and the rest are watching us. It seems more than nec- essary that we find a way of resolving or at least appreciating our pluralism, and until the Yale scene'i provides a wide spectrum of personalities, with a profound encouragement to know and evaluate our individual experience, I do not see how we can avoid the uncomfortable irony of our situation. YALE-An Unobjectizxe Evaluation by folm Train A COMMENTARY from THE YALE DAILY NEWS SHOULD WE FORGET THE CAPTIVE NATIONS? by fomzlbmz 1.584g16 American public opinion is largely unanimous in its dis- approval of the actions by which the Soviet Union has destroyed representative government in Eastern Europe and maintained puppet regimes. Our inability to preserve the Hungarian revolution has been a source of regret to many citizens. Despite the prevalence of this attitude there has been considerable support for suggestions that we avoid verbal challenges to the status quo in Eastern Europe in order to lessen world tensions and alleviate the cold war. Why should such a course be favored by any individuals among the overwhelming majority of Americans who are in no sense sympathetic to communism? In the first place there is some ignorance and indifference with regard to the Con- ditions of life prevailing under communist rule. SeCondly some persons adopt the position that while injustice pre- vails in this country we have no right to criticize the Soviet Union. The chief basis of national justification lies, however, in the assertion that peace can be brought closer by declining to criticize the USSR at its point of greatest vulnerability. Presumably if the position of existing communist regimes were not Challenged, the Soviet Union would be less inclined to pursue expansionist and aggressive policies. A corrollary to this thesis is the argument that a lessening of American diplomatic pressure would induce the Soviet Union to pursue a policy of liberalization in Eastern Europe on the pattern of Poland while foreign agitation might promote more severe repression by inciting revolt. In the case of East Germany an uprising against the communists would invite West German intervention and this could lead to the eventual involvement of American forces in fighting with the Soviet. There is no valid reason for believing that a tacit ac- ceptance of the status quo in Eastern Europe by the United States would either bring improved prospects for world peace or more freedom for the people of Eastern Europe. It would very probably mean increased chance of conflict and a possible curtailment of Soviet concessions to the people they rule. This is not to say that the existing situation is particularly desirable. However, it is the reverse of states- manship to prefer panaceas to realities-no matter how unpleasant. As Mr. Khrushchev has made clear on many occasions, the leaders of the Soviet Union view the consolidation of communist rule in Eastern Europe as a prelude to the ex. pansion of the communist system to other areas of the world. In fact the assurance of the stability of the satellite regimes will contribute greatly to the strengthening of the communist camp. Since any demonstration of Western wille ingness to acquiesce in the status quo would aid in the process of consolidation. we would merely be postponing the need to confront Soviet expansionism to a more unv favorable time. A relaxation of tension might occur if the realities were ignored, and we grasped at the hope that the Soviet Union had no expansionist designs, The most durable obstacle to lasting peace as well as a meaningful relaxation of anxiety lies in the fact that the Soviet Union has demonstrated its willingness to deny self-government to traditionally free peoples. It clearly dehnes what Mr. Khrushchev means by the expansion of communism through the Choice of the people. A coherent American defense of freedom cannot be formulated if we tacitly accept a status quo imposed by foreign force at any point in the world. We would lose the right to object on moral grounds to any further abrogation of freedom. Although it is widely believed that the absence of a threat to their control will encourage the Soviets to be increasingly liberal, there is no clear proof that this is the case. While the case of Hungary shows that the Soviet Union will not allow their satellites freedom, popular dis- content rather than apathy has led to the granting of con- cessions to the highly nationalistic Poles. In Czechoslovakia where there has been little resistance to the Red dictatorship the rigidity of the Stalinist system has been totally preserved. The Communists must necessarily allay discontent if they are to accomplish their object of greater productivity. While we should not incite a revolt which would be crushed, an American refusal to sanction the status quo would not im- pede the spirit of resistance which is an essential element in bringing about a more tolerable situation in Eastern Europe. During ViCe-President Nixon's memorable visit to Moscow Nikita Khrushchev rebuked the United States for spoiling the international atmosphere by bringing up the issue of the Captive Nations. When he was in this country, the Soviet premier underlined his contention that any questioning of the legitimacy or permanency of the Eastern European satellite governments was a provocative act which threatened world peace. A PROFILE from THE YALE DAILY NEWS I GUESS PM A HAPPY MAN 12;! Monroe E. Price IVhen George Vissarionovich Kei'jabagian speaks, it is quickly; time is shortethere is a great deal to LIO. The Malay cheroots he chews incessantly are shifted from one side of his mouth to anothen and the revered Potter Pro- fessor of Oriental Flora carefully examines a newly arrived plvyllaglomlmz mounted on the department's most powerful electric microscope. All around the professor are sprouts of strange, multi- colored flora, the variety of which strikingly mirror the many-threaded life he himself as led. George Keriabagian was born in Armenia in 1905. but his name is almost his only memory of his native land. At age six he was taken to South Africa where his father worked for a British diamond interest. When he was fifteen, he was sent by his father to a llpractical school, for merchant mariners. He was almost immediately sent to sea. It was on his maiden voyage on :1 Cuttlefish ship that Mr. Kerjabagian, out on his own for the first time, landed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaya. There he fell in love with his two life-long com- panions: Malayan flora and Cheroots this othce is the only one in the Uni- versity with a CuspitlorI. Balanical qurfare Now. forty years after his IIISt visit to Southeast Asia, Mr. Kerjahagian is the world's greatest living expert on Malayan Hora. His services are cle- mantled every Thursday in Washing- ton. where he heads a topesecret gov- ernment agency on Botanical Warfare. His Ph.D. thesis, Hmldboek bij In- leiding in KI'Ilidell Meme Haofrlirtzllek in eight volumes, is the bible for anyone who works in Mr, Kerjaha- gian's field. Among students here at Yale, the professor is almost unknown. Only three or four students a year take his course, Ontological Aspects of Vege- tation tknown commonly as OAVl. Several years ago a representative of the Yale Key was guiding a group of foreign scientists around the Univer- sity, All they wanted to see was Where the famous professor did his work; the Key undergraduate was momentarily anEleclhlike many of his colleagues he had never heard of the botanist. But quick thinkingy ancl the University register saved the day. and the scientists were soon whisked to the Peabody Museum where Mr. Kerjahagian is Curator of Phy- comycetes Myxomycophyta in the Kresge Collection. Besides his interest in Malayan flora, the professor is very much a family man. His son Zog f'SoggyU is a lower mitldler at Andover, where he plays squash and swims. During vacations father anal son play chess in their Water- bury home, which is known as Rising Gorge. tZog is named after King Zog, ruler of Albania before the AIerlJlmJ. The two became great friends when Mri Keriabagian was Albanian chess champ in 1922J His wife Incarnacion C'Sunny'd, is originally from Portugal, where Professor Kerjabagian met her on sabbatical 20 years ago. Though her English is still spotty, her flamenco style is not; she teaches a class in the colorful dance every Sunday at the Waterbury Jewish Center. Incarnation is a familiar sight at the museum. where she comes every afternoon texcept Thursdayt to pick up her hurd-working husband. He would never come home unless I called for him. Besides which I have to clean up his office. All those myxomycophyta make MCI; a mess. After his year's study of fiora. Professor Kerjabagian decided a few years ago to study animalseand with his flair for the unusual that is almost a trademark among, his col- leagues, he chose koala bears. Their movements. he asserts, are almost instructive; he loves to watch them of an evening as they romp in the special tlen constructed for them in the backyard of Rising Gorge. Their diet of eucalyptus leaves available only from Australia makes them somewhat hard to care for, but the professor thinks them quite worth the trouble. Last summer he had quite a scare when there was a strike of eucalyptus packers in Sidney, and it was only by special arrangement with a colleague of his at the Univer- sity of Melbourne that he could avoid disaster. Except for minimal obligations on committees the is chairman of the Ness Foundation Committee for Bo- tanical Development at Yalel the balding professor has very little contact with the Yale undergraduate. I regret having little intercourse with the boys, but the world of plants I have built for myself here at the Museum is quite fascinating. He looks admiringly at the specie trays arranged inordinately on his worn laboratory table. Life is amazing to observeeand here in my workshop I can control it. I walk outside the building and see automobiles speeding every whichway along Whitney Avenue; no one stops, no one looks at the grassland biome that he is every moment treading under foot. As messy as my workshop looks, I can find a pattern. Life moves on here undisturbed by public relation men or advertisers. In the subphylum .tpbmopxida for exam- ple, eqlzitremlex never thinks of aspiring to become layeizialexi This is a world without psychologists and industrial admin- istrators. Man is an intruder, and I try to intrude as little as possible as I watch. Yale with its societies, its fraternities, its political in trigues is a puzzle to me a puzzle I choose not to study. I work here at my desk; I go home with Incarnation, my wife. Sometimes I listen to some flamenco music or play chess with Zog. In the evenings I go out and watch the koala bears as they play peacefully in their den. I guess I am a happy man. ATHLETICS III. 1; 01 5 FOOTBALL by folm Sanford Dugmz URPRISE was the mark of Yaleis 1959 foot- ball season, and desire was the mark of its team. Reliable pre-season prognosticators had picked the Bulldogs for a low place in the Ivy League, but they finished third, tied with Harvard, turning in a 4-3 loop record, and winning their two non-league games to boot. Yale had finished last in the Ivy standings the year before, and it was basically that same squad returning for the pre-season workouts last fall. The team had experience, but everyone knew that none of the other top Ivy teams had suffered considerably from graduation. Defending champion Dartmouth still had Gundy and Crouthamel; Princeton had its talented bade field; Brown, Cho- quette, and so on. Besides that, several key Yale players had been eliminated from action for the season by summer accidents or academic difficul- ties. Guard Ben Balme, regular quarterback Art LaValle, end Jim Stacke, and center Nick Gaede were all lost to the Blue for the year. Another loss in the preseason drills was senior fullback Jeff Kahn. Despite these set- backs, the Bulldogs were enthusiastic, and, under the direction of an excellent coaching staff, they developed a team that was to take the meas- ure of a couple of favorites and make a strong bid for the Ivy title. Inspired by Captain Rich Winkler's wealth of desire, the players developed a definite spirit that helped them out of many tough spots. Coach Jordan Olivar summed it up at a rally before the Harvard game: We may have had better teams here in the past, which was duly contradicted Rirl; 711Hur mm iulu rlJc opfmsilimz by the crowd, iibut we have never had one with the spirit this one has. The team has a good nickname, for each one of these men fights like a real Bulldog. Injurywise, Yale was probably the most for- tunate team in the League after losing several key players before September. With only two or three exceptions during the season, the team that started in the opener against UConn started every game for the Blue. When temporary injuries struck, the Blue's depth, especially in the backfield, was very ad- vantageous. The regu- lar starting backs in- cluded Winkle: at full- back, Muller and Kan- gas at the halves, and Singleton under the center. Bob Blanchard, a junior, backed up Winkler, filling in for the hard-hitting cap- tain on several key oc- casions. Junior Lee Mallory and senior Danny Feldhaus shared duties with Sin- gleton, while Mike Curran and Kenny Wolfe, experienced runners, helped out at the halfback posts. Up in the line Matt Freeman and Fred Ernst held down the starting end jobs, with Harry Olivar tthe coachis sony and Jim King at tackles, Raleigh Davenport and Paul Bursiek at guards, and Mike Pyle over the ball at center. The season opened with a surprise, when Yale blanked the University of Connecticut, 20-0. Two more shutouts followed as Brown t17-Oy and Columbia t14-Oy fell victim to the Blue, and Ivy League powers began to take notice. Cornell was next on the schedule, and most people expected the Big Red to at least score on the Elis if not beat them. But a homecoming ea- I 3, EL Bebmd good Yale blocking, Singleton spot: Kangm' for :1 pay; crowd at Ithaca was duly surprised when the Bulldogs pushed to a 23-0 victory and became the only major college power in the country to be unbeaten, untied, and unscored upon. They held that honor for two weeks. The streak continued with a 21-0 blanking 0f Colgate, but the following week Dartmouth proved too much for the Elis as they absorbed their first defeat, 12-8, from the Indians. Muller keep; right on going mu,' Another disappointment followed as Penn topped Yale, 28-12, in Philadelphia. But the Elis bounced back against Prinecton and whipped the Tiger, 38-20, in the last away game. The season's clincher was a sound 35-6 defeat from Harvard in the Bowl, but this final loss could not erase the already successful season of a dedicated and spirited Yale team. Connecticut, boasting a highly vaunted passing attack, opened the season for the Blue and came to the Bowl with possibly its best chance ever of being the first state team to beat Yale. But the Blue had a surprise for them, and for m05t of the 30,268 spectators, that warm sunny afternoon. Tom Singleton, in his first fulltime job at quarterback, called an excellent, conservative game, and Captain Winkler, finding wide holes in the Husky line, collected 91 yards in 17 plays for a 5.4 yard-per-carry average. An exciting de- fensive performance complemented the Blue at- tack, run mostly from a regular split-T formation. UConn opened with the kickoff, and Yale im- mediately drove 67 yards in 13 plays for a touch- down and two extra points to set the visitors back on their heels. Winkler went over from the three- yard line and Kangas ran for the conversion. The subsequent Husky drive was stopped at the Yale 30, and the game seesawed until two runs of 30 and 35 yards put Connecticut within striking distance on the Blue 26. In four downs Harry Drivas moved the Huskies only nine yards, and Yale took over early in the second quarter. A fumble and a penalty helped put the visitors on Yale's 10 late in the same period, but again four downs was not enough for UConn to go ten Muller, keeping lmrt 0f Dm'lmoullj, more: up H79 field yards, and the visitors were stopped on the three. Nick Kangas made a key tackle for the Blue in that series, stopping Bob Horan alone on 21 left- end run. Still not licked, the Huskies put up a strong fight early in the third quarter, but an intercep- tion by Singleton midway through the period broke the visitors, spirit, and set Yale up on the opponent's 30. It took seven plays for the Blue to score, with Wolfe barely stretching into the end zone at 11:13. Singleton's run for the con- version was stopped short at the line of scrim- mage. Connecticut never really threatened again as Yale scored once more early in the fourth period. Curran went over from the two, and a Feldhaus pass for the extra points was incomplete. It was Yales 11th straight win over UConn. With a good opener behind them, the Bulldogs moved into their Ivy schedule the following Sat- urday, when Brown traveled to the Bowl with its side-saddle, wing-T formation. The Bruins were an underdog after losing to Columbia the week before, and they left New Haven on the short end of a 17-0 score. Singleton showed his potential as a triple- threat ball player against the Bears. He ran six times for a 7.8 average, completed four of eight passes, and averaged 40 yards on four points. Right after the opening kickofit Brown had its hrst chance to score. The Bruins pushed to the Yale 25, lost the ball on downs, then recovered a Blue fumble and drove to the 18. But misfor- tune hit the visitors as two penalties put them back on the Eli 38 and took the power out of the drive. Yale did not score until the second period, when it put across two touchdowns. Each was sparked by a run of over 40 yards. The first scor- ing drive was opened by Kenny Wolfeis 42-yard punt return to the Bruin 35. Three plays later Mike Halloran, :1 substitute fullback, made an exciting circus catch on a pass from Singleton to set the Blue up on the 28. Singleton tossed to Fred Ernst, who picked off the pass on the four and went over for a tally midway in the quarter. Kangns' 63-yard jaunt to the Brown 17 set up the Blue's next score, with Winkler finally going over. Another Singleton aerial collected two points and Yale led, 14-0. W'lm lmwcd out lbe Iigblx? ?.fi 3 . The third quarter was an even battle, and then sophomore Ed Kaake opened the last period with a 24-yard field goal to end the day's scoring at 17-0, Yale. A special defensive team called the Bulldogs was unveiled by Yale against the Bruins. This unit made two appearances and recovered two Bear fumbles. They were destined to see action in several other games throughout the year. Columbia visited Yale for the last game of the Blues first home stand. The Lions sported a time- consuming lining-up process Which included a huddle near the line of scrimmage and ten yards to either side of the ball. It was called the urnud- dle huddle and was intended to make the de- fensive team run as much between plays as the offense. Three men lined up over the ball and the rest remained split until called in by the quarter- back. The Lions could run from the split forma- tion, but they did it only four times against Yale. Giving early warning that Columbia was not going to be a pushover, Lion fullback Russ War- ren dashed t0 the Eli 17 in the first quarter, but Rich Winkle: saved the day for Yale when he stole the ball while tackling Warren. The Blues first score came at the end of a difficult 84-yard march early in the second frame. Singleton made the score, but :1 run for the con- version failed. Bouncing back, the Lions drove us far as the Yale 19, but an interception by sophomore end Jim Pappas squelched the drive. The half ended with Yale holding:7 a slim 6-0 lead. It was still an even contest until Pappas, mid- way in the third frame, made a catch that ranks as the most spectacular of the year and set up the Blues second touchdown. Running deep with a Columbia defender, Pappas suddenly reached out and, one-handed, speared a pass from Single- ton, gathering it in on the visitors' 20-yard line. Junior Bob Blanchard scored five plays later, and Singleton passed to Wolfe to salt the game away at 14-0. That was the last time the Yale team was to play under conditions of warm weather and clear skies. At Ithaca the next Saturday the heavens opened but did not stop the Blue from running up a 23-0 total against Cornell. Bad passes from center on two punt situations deep in Cornell territory cost the Red 3 safety and a touchdown, giving Yale :1 comfortable 9-0 halftime lead. Defensively, the Elis spent most of the first quarter trying to solve the Big Redis slot-T attack. They stopped two drives around their own 30 in m a mix- 32 a Maw e m is m a g I 38 amaze: gamma 5 Halfway through 1119 Ilaird period, and on llye rmmzfr Jixtl; game, Darlmoull: ronquerr the virgin goal line the first period, and then held Cornell to 40 yards rushing for the rest of the game. Matt Freeman and Pappas were outstanding on defense in the forward line, while Lou Muller was excellent in the secondary. Yale needed no help to score in the second half. The Elis received the kickoff and imme- diately drove 74 yards in ten plays to their second touchdown. Singleton kicked his second extra point of the day and Yale led, 16-0, Still undaunted, the Big Red bounced back and drove to the Blue 13, but two passes by Dave McKerey went awry, and Cornell was finished. A 45-yard punt return by Muller, with key blocks by Winkler and Singleton, set up Yaleis last touchdown late in the final quarter. It was Yales fourth straight shutout, and early the following week the Elis were ranked 19th in the nation by an Associated Press poll. The players took the honor rather lightly. Colgate marked the midpoint of the season, and was not to be underestimated in its tradi- tional role as a season spoiler. But the Blue main- tained its poise and, despite the rain and mud, rolled up another shutout, 21-0, over the Red Raiders. The win ran Yales shutout victory streak to five, equaling a record set by Southern California in 1943. The last Blue team to do the trick was that of 1909, which won ten games without being scored upon. Most of the first half was a seesaw battle with the ball changing hands seven times on fumbles. Yale finally got a break when sophomore guard Paul Bursiek recovered a fumble on the Colgate 27 late in the second quarter. Six plays later the Blue scored its first touch- down as Singleton skirted the right end to tally with less than a minute left in the half. Singleton then tossed to Kangas for the extra points. A 47-yard scoring run by Winkler early in the third frame gave the Elis a 14-0 margin as a two- point conversion attempt failed. Yaleis lead was not threatened for the rest of the game, and a fourth-quarter touchdown by Blanchard added extra insurance. Yale had moved up to 13th in the AP rankings and was mentioned at 15th by the UPI at the beginning of the following week. The picnic was over, however. Four games were left in the sea- son, and they were slated to be the four toughest of the year. Dartmouth headed the list, with quarterback Bill Gundy and halfback Jake Crouthamel back in shape after injuries, and the Indians became the first team to beat the 1959 Elis as well as the first team to score on them. Gundy masterminded the Victory, brilliantly interspersing the Indians running attack with timely passes. The Blue fought literally until the last minute, when a Yale drive was stopped on an incom- IVlJm-e it be going? Nmrbere. W'Zml fr he doing? Notbillg. pleted pass, but Singletonls conservative game was not working, and he did not show the confidence to open it up. The last pass was the only one thrown in the game by Yale. Two recovered fumbles and a solid defensive stand stopped three serious threats by Dartmouth in the first half. The Indians were faltering late in the second quarter, and Yale made use of the advantage, pushing 55 yards in 11 plays for a touchdown. Winkler made the tally, and Single- ton collected two bonus points, giving the Elis an 8-0 lead at halftime. When the Dartmouth machine started to roll, it went 49 yards in 11 plays for the Greerfs first touchdown midway through the third period. Crouthamel collected. necessary yardage on two key fourth-down plays, and right end Seth Strick- land made a leaping catch in the end zone for the Yale held on the two-point conversion attempt, and the Indians needed another touchdown to win. They finally got it in the fourth quarter, as Gundy opened up a devastating passing attack, connecting with halfback Al Rozycki and fullback Bill Hibbs, to go 64 yards in eight plays for the tally. A 27-yard Gundy-to-Rozycki pass play pro- duced the margin of victory. The next week it was a rejuvenated Yale team that went to Franklin Field and started to push the Quakers around beneath an overcast sky. The Elis used a surprise formation early in the con- test. It was a lonely halfback set-up with Nick Kangas 0r Kenny Wolfe lining up outside the huddle and split to one side, and an end split to the other side. For the first 18 minutes it was Yale's ball game all the way, as the Bulldogs pushed to a quick 12-0 lead. Then the jinx 0f the place, where the Blue had lost five games in a row since 1935, must have taken over. Midway through the second quarter an inter- cepton and a fumble set up two Penn scores, and suddenly Yale was behind, 13-12. Stunned, the Elis still kept driving, but another aerial was intercepted by the Red and Blue to stop the Bulldogs, and the half ended Perm 13, Yale 12, The third period was an even battle, then early in the last quarter Yale missed on two field goal attempts tone of 41 yards, the other of 321 and Penn kept its one-point margin. Another Eli fumble was recovered by the Quakers deep in Blue territory, and they collected a touchdown and an important two points with four minutes to play. A final Perm touchdown was anti-climac- tic, as the Quakers took undisputed first place in Good blotting giz'e: Singleton lime for .111 wry pan Bark R0w-Johnst0n, Shermam Mozeleski, Carpenter, Lechonby.

A slim chance remained for Yale to take the Ivy crown, but that was forgotten in the prepara- tions for the Princeton game. The Tigers had lost to Harvard the week before and wanted to sal- vage a second place in the Big Three. Again Yale had a revitalized team when it went onto the field of Palmer Stadium. This time there were no mistakes committed by the Buldogs, and Fortune seemed anxious to make up for past grievances. Singleton was the outstanding player as he com- pleted eight out of eight, passed for a two-point conversion, kicked three extra points, and ran seven times for a total of 26 yards. In the scoring slugfest of the first half the Bulldogs came out on top with a 31-13 lead and maintained the point spread at 38-20 by the end of the game. The Tigers jumped to a 13-8 margin early in the second quarter, but a beautiful Muller-to- Kangas handoff on Princeton's subsequent kickoflc caught the Orange and Black completely unaware, and Kangas scampered 89 yards to a touchdown. The conversion kick was good, and Yale was ahead, 15-13. Yale,s rolling kickoff by Ernst hit a Tiger forward lineman 0n the foot, and Ernst recov- ered on the Tiger 46. Another Eli touchdown drive ensued, with Blanchard going over, anJ Yale took a 22-13 lead. Trying to open up their attack, the Tigers re- sorted to passing, but two of Mike Ippolito's aerials were intercepted. One interception, by Singleton, led to a touchdown; the other, by Bill Leckonby, resulted in a 46-yard field goal by Kaake as the half came to an end. Neither team let up early in the second half, and they each had a touchdown by the early minutes of the fourth period. Midway in the last quarter, however, it was clear that the Tiger was beaten, and Yale was able to stop two Princeton H .71 f-lime enlm'miumenl. drives on fourth downs. It was a different story the following week, when Harvard visited the Bowl and snatched away the Big Three Crown With a crushing 35-6 victory over the Blue. Again the Elis came onto the field with as good if not a better team, and again they killed themselves on miscues, fumbles, and penalties. They outplayed the Cantabs in the first half, but at the intermission the score stood at 8-6, Harvard. On the opening kickofit Yale lost a fumble but was able to stop the subsequent Cantab drive. Then the Elis pushed confidently t0 the Crimson 11, but were unable to score on four downs. Harvard's Charlie Ravenel took over and called a halfback pass play with Chet Boulris tossing to Captain Hank Keohane for 85 yards and a touch- down. Ravenel threw for two points. The Elis countered with a touchdown early in the second frame but were held to six points. Fighting uphill in the third quarter, the Bulldogs could not mount a concerted drive. Ravenel di- rected a 77-yard march for the Crimsonfs second score late in the third period. A one-point con- version by Sam Halaby was successful, giving Harvard :1 15-6 edge. Yale needed two scores to win or even tie. Harvard broke the game open with a 20-point scoring spree in the last quarter as the Elis seemed to collapse. The Blue recovered near the Close of the game, but a last-ditch effort to score again was stymied by the Cantab defense. At the conclusion of the season, several Elis received well-deserved accolades. Olivar, Single- ton and Pyle were named to the Associated Press All-Ivy first team, while Winkler was named to the second team. Pyle also made the coaches offi- cial 1959 All-Ivy team at center, while Freeman, Winkler, Singleton and Davenport received sec- ond team berths. In addition, Yale placed several men on teams outside the Ivy League. Oiivar held down 21 first team position on the Associated Press All-New England team, and Winkler received a second team berth. Olivar also made the United Press International All-New England first team, while Winkler, Pyle, and Ernst merited second team positions. And last, but certainly not least, Olivar was honored with a position on the Eastern Col- lege Athletic Conference All-East first team, the first Yale player since 1957 to be accorded this award. 20 UConn O 17 Brown 0 14 Columbia 25 Cornell 21 Colgate 8 Dartmouth 12 Pennsylvania 38 Princeton 6 Harvard IVlJere? lbe ball? 9'1 f? k Back Rou'eBogart, Robertson.

FTER a rather mediocre season in 1958, the Yale soccer forces returned to New Haven for early practice with high hopes. They felt the heavy graduation losses as they faced a tough Ivy and New England League schedule, but after a week of hard practice it was evident that this team would be heard from. A well played 4-2 victory over Cortland State Teachers College in an exhibition game added to the optimism, and when the flne passing New Haven Ukrainians fell by a 4-0 score at Coxe Cage field, the Yale team knew that the potential was there. The 1959 edition of the Elis was led by their fast and high scoring Captain Gene Scott, who assumed his usual center forward position. More veterans returned, with John Pearce at inside right, Mal Black at right back, junior Phil Meyer at left back and Jerry Fenton and Hank Meier at right halfback and outside left respectively. Bob McKean, veteran outside right from the 1956 Ivy League Championship team, and John O'Keefe, a two year veteran, were back to bolster what was to be a potent scoring line. Yale was further aided by the return of junior Mike Brad- 1.61 ley, at center halfback, who had been inactive the previous season because of an injury. Chris Wadley, a letter winner at outside right, was counted on to see much line action. The goal- keeper position was a toss-up between juniors Andy Block and Charlie Grigg. From Al Wil- sonis Big Three championship frosh team came the depth that Coach Marshall had Wished for in Captain Henry Childs, Joe Warner, Peter Clark, Dick Barlow, and Art Trotman. On paper the team looked very powerful, and as was certainly proven later, at times they were. Four days after the New Haven Ukrainian game, Yale opened the season officially at Storrs as they met highly regarded UConn. In the pre- vious year, Yale had inHicted UConn's only de- feat of the season, and the Huskies were smarting for revenge; but before they could get underway, McKean and Pearce had iced the game with two first half goals. This proved to be the final margin of victory for the aroused Elis. The fol- lowing Saturday, Scott added to his scoring laurels with a three goal performance against Brown in the Ivy League opener. Yale rocked the medi- fading! rim! goalie rmmerge 071 5! ball ocre Bruins, 4-0, in a convincing but not :1 sen- sational win. Perhaps the lowest point of the season oc- curred in the next encounter in which the quite complacent Bulldogs lost to a fired up Army team by 3-1. Playing at West Point, the Elis just never got started, although Scott did deadlock the score at 1-1 on a beautiful unassisted goal in the second period. Strong performances against the Black Knights were turned in by inside John Pearce, McKeanis able substitute Joe Warner, and sopho- more Peter Clark, inserted at the outside left position. The defiant Elis rebounded strongly by scoring seventeen goals against their opponents during the following week. Against a weak University of Hartford aggregation, Yale managed to pile up a convincing 9-1 score. Coach Marshall made nu- merous changes in the lineup as he started junior Andy Block in the goal, moved McKean to out- side left, and inserted Chris Wadley at his old outside right position, where he contributed a goal for the day. Other scorers were John OiKeefe With three goals, center halfback Mike Bradley with one, John Pearce, Gene Scott, and substitute Steve Anderson. Saturday, the team made the long trek up to Ithaca to play Cornell in a game played in adverse weather conditions. Yale proceeded to down a respected Cornell team, 8-0, scoring five goals in the hectic fourth period. 162 George Seeley, starting his first game at half- back, replaced the absent Gordie Moran and turned in an inspiring performance. Captain Scott, taking advantage of his superior speed and agility, switched positions on occasion with Wadley at the wing and contributed a goal and six assists. Wadley, in turn, scored three times from center forward, the always dependable Pearce twice, and O'Keefe and McKean once each. 1 Perhaps the highest point of the season was reached against Springfield College. With scarcely one minute left in the exciting contest, Bob McKean booted home a goal to give the Elis victory by a slim 2-1 margin. Wladley combined with O,Keefe to score the first goal in a contest that tied Yale for first place in the New England League and broke a string of five Springfield vic- tories. Charlie Grigg displayed fine goal tending in making twenty-hve saves. O'Keefe Irie; far comer goal Hopes for the New England title faded in the following week as the team lost to a powerful and machine-like University of Bridgeport team, 5-0. In spite of the strong goal tending of Spry Andy Block and able performances by Gene Scott, George Seeley and Art Trotman, Yale couldnit seem to generate an offense against the far superior Purple Knights. In the Dartmouth game, the Bulldogs fought hard against a seemingly tireless Green squad and triumphed, 3-1. Goals were recorded by Pearce, O'Keefe, and a sophomore newcomer, Zoltan Bary. Fullback Phil Meyer continued the strong play for which he was continually recognized all season. A week later, under almost impossible playing conditions, the team met Penn at Philadelphia. Although they were continually behind through- out the contest, the Elis battled back each time and finally managed to knot the score at 4-4 in double overtime. Gene Scott opened the scoring for the Blue, followed by two beautifully exe- cuted goals by senior Bob McKean. Pearce scored Yales final goal in the thrilling overtime. Changes in the starting team were Zoltan Bary at outside left and Art Trotman at right half, substituting for the injured Jerry Fenton. It was truly an amazing game when one considers the poor con- dition of Penn's Stewart Field. The next few days were spent in preparation for the Princeton game and featured a 3-1 win over the highly spirited Alumni, who returned enthusiastically t0 the Yale scene after postpone- ment of an earlier game. The rain continued to hamper playing conditions for the fifth straight Saturday as the Elis traveled to Princeton to en- counter a Tiger squad that had upset undefeated Harvard, 1-0, the weekend before. Stunned by Jim Hicks goal at 2:20 of the first period, Yale never righted itself. In spite of hue defensive play, especially by goal keeper Andy Block and center halfback Mike Bradley, they went down to their flrst Ivy League defeat, 1-0. Yale entered the finale with Harvard with still a chance to cop the Ivy title if they could knock off the highly successful Cantabs. Though they dominated the play for nearly three quarters of the game, the Bulldogs just could not score in OtKee'fe hgbt: Brown opponent for ponenion Brown mzm attempt: to lake 125111 from Captain Stall spite of the fine efforts of seniors John O,Keefe, Bob McKean, and Gene Scott in the line. O!Keefe got together with the determined Pearce and time after time set up scoring drives, but even with the bullet-like shots of Scott the Elis finally bowed, 1-0. The big boys of the Yale defense, Mal Black and Mike Bradley, played excellent aggressive ball while keeping the pressure on the elusive Crimson forwards. The season record of six wins, four losses, and one tie represented but slight improvement over Yale's showing during the previous year, but possessed many high points. The success of the 1959 team was perhaps due to the tremendous depth of the squad along with the skillful leader- ship of Captain Gene Scott. The annual Varsity Soccer banquet was held at Mory's and proved to be a very successful affair. Captain Scott, the Ivy,s top scorer in league competition, was presented with the Walter Lee- mann Trophy, awarded each year to the senior member of the team who is outstanding in group spirit and sportsmanship. John Pearce was elected captain of next yearts team. CROSS-COUNTRY Rhinelander, Legat, Bade Razz'hLopez-Cepero, Blake tCaptainL Cherryholmes, Walther, Giegengack tCozlchy ACED by Captain Jon Blake and three other seniors, Tom Cathcart, Cleo Cherryholmes, and John Morrison, Yale's experienced cross country squad completely dominated the Ivy League for the second straight year. Yale opened the season auspiciously by edging a strong veteran Brown team, with UConn a dis- tant third. Taking seven of the top thirteen places, Yale won by 21 33-39-60 score. Against Dart- mouth a week later Yale displayed its depth on a wet course at Hanover. Yale placed seven men in the first twelve iinishers to down Dartmouth and Columbia by 3 28-33-77 score. The third meet saw Yale swamp a weak Cor- nell team, 15-40. Blake, Morrison and junior Tom Carroll, a combination that usually took three of the top four places in dual and triangular meets, finished in the top three positions as Yale swept the first flve places at Ithaca. Only 21 strong team effort enabled the Blue to beat previously undefeated Fordhum the follow- Carroll, Cox. Frail! Rou'eMorrison, Czlthcart, ing week. Taking second, third, fourth, sixth, and tenth, Yale won by 21 25-30 score over their perennially powerful foe, and thus established themselves as a strong contender for the Hep- tagonal crown. A highlight of the season was Yaleis success- ful defense of their Big Three title. Running on the five-mile Princeton course, Blake, Carroll, Morrison, and Cathcart took four of the top five places to lead Yaleis runaway 26-47-48 victory over Princeton and Harvard. With the victory went the Malcolm Main trophy, emblematic of the Big Three Championship. The following week Yale took second place in the Heptagonals, close behind the Army team and followed by the rest of the Ivies. Running on the Van Cortlandt Park course in New York, Yale concluded one of its greatest seasons with a fine showing. Though lacking a real individual star, Yale's experienced and well-balunccd team can look back on an impressive season.

HE 1959-60 Yale basketball team suffered its poorest season in recent years, compiling a dismal 6-17 record and finishing in 7th place in the Ivy League. Many factors combined to pro- duce this discouraging performance, and made it impossible for Coach Joe Vancisin to put to- gether a winning team, despite the Bulldogs sev- eral definite assets. The team started the season as an extremely inexperienced squad. The Eliis were faced with the unhappy prospect of having only three re- turning lettermen Captain Dan McFadden, Al Pond and Duncan Alling. Even of these, the most experienced, McFadden, had had only half a season of actual service playing on the hrst string. Another factor which seriously hindered the tennis chances was its lack of height, which was made even worse by the fact that the tallest member of the team, Dick Evans t6'4'ty, was unable to play the last half of the season due to an injury. Because of these deficiencies, the experts saw the prospects for a winning team as rather grim. They slated the Eli to lose all of their pre-Christ- mas encounters, but the Bulldogs had other ideas and won three of the five contests. The Blue got off to a fast start in their open- ing game. Showing off Coach Vancisinis new two- platoon system, they soundly whipped Spring- field by the hefty margin of 84-62.

Emmy McFadden, a second string guard sank a shot in the closing seconds to tip the score 66-65, the Eli bounced back to triumph over Fordham, 82-65. Against a Holy Cross team that was rated perhaps the best in New England, the Bulldogs put on a splendid performance, with sophomore Bill Madden get- ting a big 24 points, but nevertheless suffered still another one point loss, 85-84. In the final pre-Christmas game, the Blue opened Ivy League play with a suprising win over Brown, whom the experts,' had favored by 5 points. Bulldog re- serve guard Bill Polinsky made a fast 14 points within a period of five minutes to spark the Yale victory. In late December the Yale team ventured South to face Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Virginia and Mary- land. The Christmas break and the considerably stronger southern competition undoubtedly af- fected the Bulldogs showing, for they proceeded to lose all four games. Vanderbilt easily took Yale, 76-65, as did Tennessee, 81-74; but the Virginia game was slightly closer with Yale losing 81-76. Captain Dan McFadden set the pace for the Blue with 25 points in this game. Resuming their slump, the Elis bowed to an overwhelm- ingly strong Maryland team, 103-80. In this game, Maryland broke four individual scoring records. 166 Returning to New Haven, the Blue met Prince- ton, this year's eventual Ivy League champion, and lost 72-60. Although in the next game, with Penn, the team broke their losing streak with a 67-57 victory; the contest proved extremely un- lucky. During the play Dick Evans broke his foot, thus costing the team the man who had been the leading rebounder and who was to end the sea- son with the highest rebound average per game. Evans was replaced by Jim Hanson, who remained at the starting position for the rest of the season. The second Brown game, at Providence, proved to be a real heartbreaker. Yale was behind Brown throughout the game and seemed unable to nar- row the gap. With only three minutes to go in the final period, the outcome seemed certain, for Brown held :1 commanding lead of ten points, 73-63. Suddenly the Bulldogs snapped into action and with one minute to go they were in the game again, trailing by only 4 points, 75-71. Led by two baskets sunk by McFadden, the Blue tied the score 77 all, and the game was forced into an overtime. This period also proved indecisive as both teams scored 7 points, and thus another overtime was required. This time, however, Brown prevailed and the final score was Brown 9-4- Captain McFadden dribble: around 1100 Pennsylvania mm. 25,. $$3$w;?$W; mi w ' ' Yale jumpy zlgaimt Columbia. Yale 89. Perhaps shaken by this loss, the Bull- dogs suffered still another defeat at the hands of Penn, 68-62. In the last game before the semester break, the Blue took advantage of non-ivy com- petition and easily defeated Wesleyan by the score of 76-54. Following the exams, the Yale team again ran into considerable difficulty with Princeton. Scoring 38 points to Princeton's 31 in the first half, the Bulldogs came out on the Hoot in the second and failed to score at all for the first four minutes. They never overcame this deficit and final score was Princeton 69-Yale 60. Things went from bad to worse as the Eli dropped the next four games to Harvard, Dart- mouth, Cornell and Columbia. Harvard took the Bulldogs by the score of 81-72. A Dartmouth team, smarting from their first ivy-Ieague defeat, took revenge by hitting a phenomenal 69?? of their shots in the first half and easily overcame the Blue, 79-57. This game saw Mark Landrum start at forward position, where he was to con- tinue for the rest of the season. In the following game, Landrum provided a bright spot by scoring 22 points, while the team was defeated by Cor- nell, 84-72. In the Columbia game, which was again distinguished by the individual perform- ances of Bill Madden with 25 points and John Dowd with 20 points, Yale held the Lions to an 87-87 tie in the regular period. In the first over- time, however, Columbia won the game 96-92. Yale had its revenge the next week, when the team travelled to Columbia for the return match. In this game in which reserve forward Duncan Alling scored 19 points, the Blue triumphed by the decisive score of 85-72. In the remaining three games with Cornell, Dartmouth and Harvard, the Bulldogs suffered defeat. In spite of John Dost 20 points, the Eli were defeated by Cornell, 76-59. The Dart- mouth game resulted in a 83-65 defeat, and in the final game of the season, Harvard beat the Eli, 80-68. Next year the prospects are considerably brighter. The 1960-61 team will possess both a greater number of returning lettermen and the added height of this yeafs outstanding freshmen players.

HE stopwatches clicked, many records were broken, the crowd responded with a chorus of BulI-dog and a great Yale swimming team chalked up another perfect dual meet season rec- ord of 14-0. Dating back to 1945, the winning streak was extended to 196 consecutive wins and 14 consecutive EISL championships. The real story of the 1960 Yale swimming team goes beyond the decisions of the stopwatch and the dual meet Victories. It is wrapped up in a team of spirited and dedicated Yale men under the ambitious direction of their new head coach, Phil Moriarity, and under the dependable leader- ship of Captain Peter Lusk. Their inheritance was the great 42-year record of Bob Kiphuth but a squad depleted of last year's top performers. With respect to the most important rival, Har- vard, the team began the year looking at the backside of a big, black eight-ball. Without ques- 169 tion it had a challenge, and a challenge for every man on the team. The long drive began in September as Sousa and Tchaikowsky became background directors of bodybuilding, and distance swimming was in- stituted as a regular after-exercise refresher. Water practice began November 23 and every- one Could feel they had a long way to go. A trip to Penn before Christmas brought the team its first victory 65-30. In his first competi- tive butterfly Dave Karetsky set a pool record of 2:202. Christmas practice showed its effects as Cornell came to Yale after the New Year. Yale's middle distance strength was evident as Bill Chase came in hrst in the 220 free in 2:07.7, and Balazs Gyorffy turned in his best 440 free time of 4:343. The sprinters moved down a notch as Bill McMaster swam a 23.3 50 free While Peter Lusk churned out a 50.7 in the 100 0,? 011 tlae 200-fly free. Sophomore backstroker Dave Hershey scored 5 points in the 200 back with a fine 2:13.1. The score: Yale 74, Cornell 21. Yaleis third Ivy encounter brought the Brown team to defeat, 65-28, as Jim Guthrie turned in a fast 51.2 freestyle leg on the 400 medley relay, and senior Foster deJesus showed his fine form of last year, winning the 200 individual medley in 2:166. Tom Bissell lowered his 200 11y time 3.4 seconds to 2:139. The cadets at West Point, the last team to out- score Yale t19451 in a dual meet, were next in line on the losing end of the tally, 68-27. Yaleis attack began as a pool record of 3:572 was set by the medley relay team of Bob Boni, Tracy Tumlin, Tom Bissell and Jim Guthrie. Three events later the 200 individual medley pool rec- ord was remodeled by Dave Burgess with a 2:152. Captain Lusk won the 50 free in an excellent 22.6 and repeated with a 49.5 split in the final free relay. While Dave Karetsky Chopped 6.8 seconds ofic his 200 11y time to win in 2213.6, Dave Hershey turned in 2:104 in the 200 back. Bill Chase proceeded to wipe out the third pool record of the day in the 440 free by swimming :1 436.8. Slowly, the Elis were sneaking up on Harvard. Wesleyan offered little resistance as seniors Carl Lohmann and Crawford Barnett placed 1-2 in the 100 free and Kent Atkins scored five in the 200 back. The score: Yale 73, Wesleyan 21. Exams came and interrupted 21 few practices, but the first possible test was coming as the Midship- men were due to arrive February 6. The team was up for the meet and tor- pedoed and sank Navy, 70-25. The medley relay team of Boni, Tumlin, Bissell, and Lusk turned in a 3:509 as each man did his best time. Gary Ball dropped below 2:10 in the 220 free with a 2:095, and Dave Burgess and Balazs Gyorffy scored 8 points in the individual medley with times of 2:11.1 and 2211.4 respectively. The 50 free was won by Jim Loofbourrow in 23.0. Tom Bissell and Dave Karetsky swam together in the 200 11y and slashed more seconds off their pre- vious performances, Bissell finishing in 2:119.

Har- vard had to raise its eyebrows now! Columbia went to defeat 67-27 as Brooke Alexander, a steady performer, won the 220 in 2:11.2, seconded by Sam Busselle in 2215.0. Tip Childs won the dive for the fourth time of the season and Bob Giegengack was hrst in the 100 free in 53.0. As Dave Burgess and Gary Ball finished 1-2 in the 440 free, Gary became the fourth Eli to break 4240.0 by clocking 4:392. On a Tuesday evening, UConn was Victim num- ber eight in their home pool, 63-32. Gary Ball set a pool record in the 440 free and sophomore breaststrokers Jerry Yurow and Jon Saari placed 1-2 in the 200 with the times of 2:37.1 and 2:412. Thursday Yale made the long trip to Dart- mouth. Most of the times were slow in the choppy Indian waters, but Lusk managed to tie the pool record in the 50 free with a 22.7 and later turned in his best 100 free time Of 49.6. Bill Chase set a new pool mark of 4135.7 in the 171 440 free. The score: Yale 60, Dartmouth 35. That Saturday the Elis put on a show for the Alumni as Yale subdued Colgate 65-30. Bill McMaster With a fast 22.9 was second only to Lusk in the 50 free as Peter went 22.6. Dave Karetsky touched out Colgate's Mike Wolk to win the 200 fly in his best time42:12.1. Dave Hershey took top honors in the 200 back with a 2:089, while Zoltan Bury was clocked at 2130.7 in the 200 breaststroke. In the final relay, Sam Busselle led off with a 52:0, having previously won the 100 free in 5223. McMaster, Loofbour- row, and Lusk followed with splits of 51:0, 50.5, and 48.6, respectively, to finish in 3:221. Har- vard was interested in this. While the fastest swimmers rested, the remain- der 0f the squad demolished Villanova, giving Yale its greatest score of the year, 84-11, as seniors John LeBourgeois, Yon Loft, and Toby Clark won the 220 free, 200 Hy, and 200 breast- stroke respectively. The following weekend a mixed team easily dumped Princeton 74-21 by winning both relays and placing 1-2 in six other events. Jim Guthrie shaved his time below 52.0 for the first time, with a 51.8. As Springfield Gyorffy mzd Bury came iula 1132 mm on Ilse 230 bruit! agnimt H :Irz'm'd became consecutive Victory number 195 by a score of 63-32, Harvard loomed close ahead. Was 195 the end? Saturday came; Harvard was ready to attack, and Yale was ready with its best defense a powerful Offense. The full house of 2500 antici- pated a great show. The opening 400 medley relay brought out the tremendous enthusiasm of the spectators as the Yale team broke the existing American record. Dave Hershey, Zoltan Bary, and Tom Bissell each chopped two seconds ofic their best performances and Captain Lusk brought the relay home in 3:443, a time 1.2 seconds faster than last years record-holding team of Dolbey, Koletsky, Jecko and Anderson. Bill Chase and Gary Ball finished 1-2 in the 220, Bill doing his best time42:07.1. The 50 free was won in a magnificent 22.1 pool record by Bruce Hunter of Harvard. Bill McMaster swam a great 22.6, but was touched out by Norris Eisenbrey of Harvard and wound up third. The most disputed race came next in the 200 individual medley as Dave Burgess and Balazs Gyorffy took on Harvard's Bob Kauf- mann. Burgess was picked in a fine 2208.6 us Kaufmann placed second with an identical time. Gyorffy was disqualified for an illegal turn. Hare vard brought their score to 21 to Yale's 22 as they placed 1-2 in the three meter dive. A touch decided the next two races as Tom Bissell performed 2.6 seconds better than pre- viously and beat Fred Elizalde of Harvard in 2207.8. Dave Karetsky finished third for Yale in 2210.4. In the greatest competitive 100 free ever swurn at Yale, Bruce Hunter of Harvard tapped the wall first in 48.6 While Peter Lusk was second in 48.8. Both times broke the existing Amercian and NCAA record of 48.9 and both swimmers set new school records. Jim Loofbour- row sped into third in 50.8. The score was 32-28 in Yale,s favor. Dave Hershey and Al Cunningham swept 1-2 in the 200 back, Dave winning in a fine 2208.1, missing the Yale record by one second. In his second race Bill Chase led the way to victory for Yale in the 440 with 4231.9 while Dave Burgess followed closely to finish in the number two posi- tion. Having won the magic 48 points, Yale pulled its surprise punch in the 200 breaststroke by swimming Balazs Gyorffy. Harvard expected 1-2 and in a very close four-man race they saw Gyorffy and Bary place 1-2 respectively. The flnal relay was fabulously exciting even though the meet was won. Yaleis team of McMaster, Guth- rie, Loofbourrow and Lusk turned in amazing splits of 50.1, 49.5, 50.5, and 48.0 respectively, but were touched out by Harvard in an identical final time of 3:181. The score: Yale 56, Har- vard 39. The team had w0n4over some dire predic- tions, over Harvard, and over their impartial judge, the stopwatch. A great Yale swimming 2 team ended its season with the greatest dual meet in Yale's swimming history. The EISL Individual Championships held at Harvard were anticlimactic tan understatementy. However, Dave Hershey won the 200 back, and Bill Chase turned in three magnificent perform- ances to become the only triple winner of the meet. Bill swam an 18:01.9 for the 1500 meters free, winning over teammate Gary Ball, finished the 220 in 2205.5 ahead of Balazs Gyorffy and Dave Burgess, and topped off the meet with a new American citizen record of 4:276 in the 440 free, this time followed by Burgess, Gyorffy, and Ball. The NCAA Championships and the National AAU Championships, the latter tele- vised by CBS, finished the season's schedule. Y.I.'y I rind 2 UigbU lap; I'Iurl'm'd Butla er'gRipleyt Bishop, Rulon-Miller.

Smith tCaptzlinL Scott, McGormgIe, Trmvbritlge, Hamlin HOCKEY S the varsity hockey season oHicially began, Coach Murray Murdoch was faced with the problem of finding suitable replacements for all- American goal-tender Gerry Jones and five gradu- ating forwards along with one defenseman. The nucleus of the 1959-60 hockey team centered around seniors Bruce Smith, Ed McGonagle, Tom Crosby, Gene Scott, George Robinson and Jim Trowbridge. The junior delegation consisted of John Schley, Ken MacLean, Tom Edwards, Charlie Hamlin and Ted Forstmann. In addition there were several aspirant, but untried, sophomores to work with. In the opener, Yale travelled to Boston to play the seasoned Boston University sextet. Playing a respectable hrst period, Yale only gave up one goal. Then the roof fell in as Yale turned up on the shallow end of an 8-1 score. The following Saturday Yale was edged out by Northeastern 4-3, as Art Chisholm for North- eastern was able to slip two goals past Ted Forst- mzmn within the final two minutes of the first period. Middlebury proved to be even better than Northeastern; led by super-star, Phil Latreille, who scored four times, Middlebury swamped Yale 9-4, Travelling to Clarkson and Saint Lawrence, Yale faced two perennially top eastern hockey teams. Clarkson opened up the first period with six goals, three of which were scored within a period of two minutes. The final score was Clark- son 11, Yale 4. Against Saint Lawrence, Yale demonstrated strong hockey ability, playing its best game to date. Except for a momentary let- down in the opening minute of the second period, Yale matched the skill of Saint Lawrence, whose roster contained ten Canadians. The final score was Saint Lawrence S, Yale 3. In the last game before Christmas vacation the Bulldogs defeated Cornell 13-0. The most con- sistent line of the seasoneTom Crosby, Dave Crosby and Tim Adamsascored six goals for Yale. On December 28, the Bulldogs shut out Saint Yale .rmrey :Igtlizli'l Prim'exml, ur'izmizlg 2-1 Nick's 9-0. George Robinson starred for Yale as he picked up three goals. Also during the Christmas vacation, Yale played in the RPI Invitational Tournament at Troy, New York. In the opener Yale lost to the host team 4-2 in a heated contest, as Yale drew five minor penalties. On New Year's night Yale was swamped by North Dakota 15-0; the Elis were no match for the speedsters from the West. In the himl contest of the tournament Yule was edged out by Montreal 6-5, while Captain Bruce Smith led the Elis, scoring with two goals. On January 6 Yale defeated a spirited Williams team 6-0. In the first major Ivy League contest Yale travelled to Hanover, New Hampshire, to play Dartmouth. Here the Elis played their fastest, most skillfull game to date. Dartmouth scored the only goal of the first period. At the end of the second period the score was all tied up as Ed McGonagle and Tim Adams scored for Yale while Dartmouth was held to another lone goal. In the third period Yale went ahead for the first time after eight minutes of play when McGon- agle scored his second goal of the evening. Datt- mouth then tied it up with a sizzling thirtyefive foot slap shot. Yale continued to play hard, but could not stop Rusty Ingersoll from scoring the winning goal unassisted in the last two minutes of play. On January 13, the Bulldogs faced a skillful, quick Boston College Club which proved too much for the Elis. Yale was shut out 7-0. On the week- end of January 13, Yale took a victorious trip to Colgate and Cornell, where it picked up two wins by defeating Colgate 10-2 and shutting out Cornell 7-0. Returning to Ingalls Rink, Yale met Provi- dence, who proved to be too much for the Elis; Yale ended up on the shallow end Of :1 9-4 hockey game. In its next major Ivy contest, the Yale sextet faced a favored Brown team on the opponents ice. In the opening period the picture looked black as Brown scored three goals to Yale's one.

Yale then defeated Princeton 2-1 to make it three wins in a row. Frank Bishop and Tim Adams scored in the third period before a sell- out crowd at Ingalls Rink. Yale demonstrated a highly spirited brand of hockey. In its home game with Brown, Yale was up- set 3-1. Ken MacLean saved the Bulldogs from being shut out by scoring an unassisted goal in the closing minutes of the contest. Yale met Dartmouth at Ingalls Rink before another sellout crowd. Dartmouth scored two goals to Yale's one in the first period, but in the second period Steve Ripley, Frank Bishop and Ed McGonagle scored for Yale, while Dartmouth could only slip one goal past Ted Forstmann. Yale entered the third period leading by a single goal but was unable to hold the tireless Dart- mouth club, which scored twice while Yale was unable to produce a single goal. The final score was Yale 4, Dartmouth 5. Travelling to Princeton, Yale held its own in the first period; both teams scored :1 goal. But Yale was unable to score in the last two periods. Princeton picked up a pair of goals in each of these to win 5-1. In its home game with Harvard, Yale played its worst game of the season.

In the second period Yale was held score- less, while Harvard netted two goals. Going into the third period a goal behind, Yale could not be scored upon. Steve Ripley scored for Yale at 7:45 to make it an even game. Then senior Gene Scott scored at 18:42 to put the game on ice for Yale.

After a disappointing post- vacation slump, during which they dropped three meets within the space of a week, the team ral- lied with five straight Ivy League wins to finish in second place behind perennial Ieague-leader Cornell. Much had been expected at the beginning of the season, since the team featured seven return- ing lettermen, five of whom were seniors. In the first meet of the year, the Bulldogs won by a narrow margin over powerful Rutgers. Features of the meet were wins by seniors Alex Slaughter and Captain Tom Miller, football star Mike Pyle, and Hardy Will. Bing Sherrill scored the only 176 pin of the day. Eli Winners against Cornell were sophomore Jack Partridge in the 123 lb. class, junior Tim Welles at 137, Sherrill at 191, and Pyle at heavy- weight. Sherrill continued on his way to an un- defeated season when he wrestled in the heavy- weight class against Springfield, where Welles and 147-p0und Bob Schoeneman also won. Traveling to Bethlehem for a Wednesday night meet with Lehigh, only two Elis could gain vic- torieseWill and Sherrill, Will up one weight from normal. Back in New Haven for the last meet before exams, the team lost a heartbreaker, 16-15 to Army, as junior Ben Witt in his Yale wrestling debut pinned his cadet heavyweight counterpart. Emerging from the examination period with renewed spirit, the Bulldogs completely over- whelmed their opponents from Brown 215 Part- ridge, 130 pound senior Bob Kramer, Schoene- man, Miller, Sherrill, 21nd Witt 2111 earned deci- sions, while Slaughter and Will scored falls. Continuing their winning streak, the team took Columbia 18-11, and Penn, 30-2. Sherrill de- feated Columbiais highly-touted 191 pounder. In the Penn meet, Al Slaughter, wrestling at 157, scored the only pin. In the first of the Harvard-Y:Lle-Princet0n round robin meets, Slaughter pinned his Tiger opponents, while Miller, Will, Sherrill and Witt turned in decisions. In a surprisingly lopsided Victory over Harvard, Partridge and Miller both scored falls, as did Slaughter-his third in a row. Sherrill and Witt both won hard fought deci- sions over strong Cantab opponents. March 11-12, the team traveled to Princeton for the Eastern Intercollegiate XWrestling Associa- tion championships. Yale turned in the second best Ivy League performance, finishing seventh in overall team points behind co-champions Penn State and Pittsburgh, Lehigh, Cornell, Syracuse and Rutgers. Hardy XWill was the outstanding Eli wrestler, gaining second place in the 177 lb. class. Previ- ously undefeated this year, Bing Sherrill took third place in the 191,5, losing in the semi-finals. Alex Slaughter, Captain Miller, and Tim Welles gained the quarter-finals. To Close out the season, Coach John OiDonnell sent Sherrill, XVill, Miller and VWeIles t0 the NCAAis, March 24-26.

SQUASH t x 71TH but one player from the top nine of last years team returning, prospects for varsity squash in 1959-60 looked dismal. Any chance of approaching last years 12-2 record was discounted. John Skillmanls squad of Captain Sam Howe, Tat Starr, Dinny Phipps, Merrill Magowan, Joe Holmes, Gayer Dominick, Jack Graves, Fred Brown, Rick Wallace, Brad Warner, Tony Mun- son, and Peter Ness started the season with two December shut-outs, Fordharn and Cornell falling 7-0 and 9-0 as expected. Next the Lord Jeffs were overcome 6-3. This match was followed by three successive victories, in which the Blue blanked Trinity, Pennsylvania, and Wesleyan, all 9-0. A venture to the north on the weekend of Feb- ruary 12-14, saw a game Williams team hand Yale its first loss, 5-4. The match was something of a toss-up and could have gone either way. Dinny Phipps, Merrill Magowan, and Gayer Dominick all ran their matches to five games before succumbing to the Ephmen. At Dartmouth, though, the Yale team easily contained the Green, winning 7-2. The Princeton match saw Yale go down in de- feat for the second time, again 5-4. Sam Howe, ranked second nationally, was pitted against arch- rival Steve Vehslage, first in the nation. The match went to five games before Vehslage finally won. February 24th Yale faced a formidable Army team. Going into the last match of the afternoon, the score was tied at four games apiece. Sopho- more Joe Holmes rallied strongly to win his last two games and bring home an Eli victory. On February 27, having dumped M. I. T. 7-2, the Yale team met Harvard and was vanquished, 8-1. Brad Warner came up with the Elils only win. Although Sam Howe, who again placed second behind Vehslage in the Intercollegiate champion- ships this year, will graduate, prospects for the coming year are very bright, with five returnees from this years team and a group from the Fresh- man team ranked one, two, three in the natiorfs Junior division. FENCING HE 1960 fencing team, suffering the loss of last year's stars, faced the season with uncer- tain prospects. The team enjoyed an auspicous beginning, smashing a weak University of Connecticut squad by 22-5. The following week saw the swordsmen in New York meeting a favored CCNY team, and acquiting themselves well, though defeated by a narrow 15-12 margin. Juniors Bob Gordon in foil and Fred Profeta in sabre displayed talent which considerably brightened the future outlook. After the Christmas break, at the University of Pennsylvania, the team put together its first Ivy League win, by a solid 18-9 advantage. The epee team led with a 7-2 winning margin, with sopho- mores Terry Croft and Al Greene scoring vic- tories behind Captain Powell. The Elfs more than met their match the following week, when an exceptionally strong NYU nine invaded New Haven. All-American Jay Powell, again sweeping all three of his epee bouts, along with Profeta and Gordon, led the squad in its 16-11 loss. Yale then won its second Ivy League meet with a shaky 14-13 victory over Cornell on the strength of Captain Powellis last bout epee Win. Sopho- mores Egils Melbardis in epee and Ronnie John- son in foil scored two victories apiece, While Pro- feta again provided the majority of the sabre wins. Against Columbia, seniors Foss and Powell were the only standout in an 18-9 Ivy League loss. The team then journeyed to Rutgers and ad- ministered a 20-7 beating, avenging the Scarlet for last years upset. The sabre team began to show real strength, winning by an 8-1 margin, With juniors Les Haentzschel and Mike Apuzzo con- tributing victories. The next weeks encounter with Princeton provided the most crucial meet of the season, and a bitterly-contested 17-10 loss dropped the Elfs to third place in the Ivy League. Again it was the sabre team of Profeta, Apuzzo, and sophomore Brian Hogan, that led the squad. Junior epeeman Al Kmetz scored two victories, showing the form that was to make him a double winner in the following weeks victory over Har- vard, which provided a season-capping win in New Haven, and secured second place in the Ivy League. The 15-12 contest was highlighted by the showings of Profeta and Apuzzo, and departing senior Foss. With the regular seasonis play at an end, the team looked forward to victories in the IFA Championships in New York, while Coach Gras- son prepared to send Captain Powell and juniors Gordon and Profeta to the NCAA Champion- ships in April. 3m Row-Grasson tCoacM, Hogany Kmetz, Kapuler, Croft, Kramer tManagery Front Row- Greene, Apuzzo, Gordon, Powell tCaptainL Foss, Profeta, Rudolph.

RIFLE HIS year found an inexperienced team that managed a season of good shooting, although not spectacular. Overcoming the impediment of lack of depth and experience, the team, in four dual and two triangular matches, lost only to the strong Princeton and phenomenally powerful Army teams. Yale won a close second place in the fifth annual Ivy League Championship Tourna- ment at New Haven, with Princeton, Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell, and Harvard competing, and third place in the National Intercollegiate Sec- tional Tournament fired at New London, Con- necticut. A silver trophy has been established to be an- nually awarded to the outstanding shooter of the season. The trophy was won this year by Sopho- more Dave Ross for leading the team with con- sistently high scores. Dave also distinguished himself by placing himself second highest in the individual match of the National Intercollegiate Tournament. The other leading shooters were Bob McCor- mick, Manager Rich Davis, and Mac Blair, who won for the third consecutive year the annual Captainls match ending the teamls season. Sup- porting these were Scott Cook, Captain Mike Harris, Terry Warrington, and Ford Maurer. Greatly aiding the Yale team was the coaching and support of Mngt. Joe Silva of the Yale Army ROTC unit, and a new range built at the Yale Armory making possible extended shooting hours and :1 team OEICC. Improved equipment and increased interest in the sport at Yale by students and the University has also been instrumental in the success of the team. This year marked the first freshman team in many years at Yale, and its continuance will insure the future varsity depth. With a team of seven returning varsity shoot- ers and eight from the freshman team, the pros- pects for a most successful season next year ap- pear excellent. SKI TEAM Burl?

Well, this year polo is Up and extremely well off at Yale. En- thusiasts squeezed themselves into the old and often just a little bit too cold Armory Saturday after Saturday to see Yale's experienced and well- polished club ride to victory under the leadership of Captain Richie Jones. First, defending Inter- collegiate Champion Cornell was conquered by a score of 18-11. This victory established the trio of Jones, Vincent and Welch as a team of un- questionable balance and boundless potential. This same Jones, Vincent and Welch combination not only rode through Champion Cornell, but also through an experienced team from New York, Squadron . A A tenacious contingent from Har- vard was next to fall to the Yale malletmen. This encounter was followed by a match with three Yale veterans, Frolic Weymouth, and Ivan and Mike Poutiatine who mounted under the banner of the Brandywine Polo Club. The score was 16 for Yale and 11 for Brandywine. With Welch BJria Rmr-Price, Dunni ng, delaRivn, Powers, injured and out of the saddle the Yale squad seemed to lose its previous precision, but still it was able to enjoy an easy win over Princeton be- fore stumbling in its second game with Cornell. The following week, however, Yale posted an excellent win over a graduate team from the University of Virginia. Giant Valley tConnecti- cutl was the second and last squad to outscore Yule, for with Welch back in the starting lineup the Yale team moved in to New York and the National Intercollegiate Tournament. In the lirst round, Jones, Vincent and Welch easily van- quished the University of Virginia. The following Saturday saw the squad fulfill all pre-season ex- pectations by whipping Cornell once again to capture the trophy which Yale reliquished in 1956. With the exception of Captain Jones, the en- tire squad will return next year in the roll of de- fending champion. With this experienced depth we anticipate a repeat performance in Polo. Bibb tCoacM.

BASEBALL OR the second consecutive season, Yale's base- ball team failed to win the EIBL title which it held for three successive seasons in 1955-1957. After a poor spring trip the team never found itself until the last few games of the year. Its league record was an anemic 1-8, and its overall record 7-20-3. Erratic pitching and costly lapses in fielding accounted for Yalels mediocre per- formance. In the league batting and fielding de- partments, the Elis linished ninth and sixth, re- spectively. George Hodgetts, with an average of .306 in league play was Yale's top hitter, fol- lowed by Herb Hodos at .278. Sophomore Mike Creamer led the team in field- ing, handling 54 chances behind the plate With only one error. Captain-elect Bob Bose was occa- sionally spectacular and at all times steady in the field. Tom Molumphy, the Yale Captain, Pete Lindley, Bob Bose, and Dick Linburg were con- sistent hitters for Yale. Each of the pitchers, Bruce Irving, Stu Beattie, Pete Higuchi, Barry Weiner. Jerry Fenton, Howie Whitmore, and Dick Linburg threw well at times, but none won more than two games. In the spring trip the team compiled a 2-6-1 record against teams from the University of Miami and Georgia Tech. In the hrst game against Miami, Bruce Irving and Pete Higuchi allowed only two hits, but Miami won 4 to 1, on four Yale errors. Yale's only run came on a long home run by Cliff Mitman. The next day the Georgia Tech pitcher gave up only four hits as he shut out the Elis 4 to 0. Miami beat Yale 3 t0 2 in the second game of the double-header, despite an eight hit Eli attack, with Pond, Linburg, and Bose each getting two hits. The second game between Yale and Georgia Tech ended in a four-four tie. The Yale batters hit well for the first time, as a team, getting nine hits. Bruce Irving came close to his first win, but four Yale errors late in the game were responsi- ble for the outcome. The following day the Yale u w l. t?

Bob Bose got three hits and Molumphy two. Georgia Tech won again 8-5; Pete Lindley and Tom Mo- lumphy, batting two-three in the line-up got two hits apiece. On March 28, Yale finally got into the win column with two victories in the same day. In beating Miami 6-2, Yale collected 13 hits, includ- ing three by Lindley and two each by Linburg and Molumphy. Again, against Miami, Bruce Irv- ing went the whole distance to Win a tight 4-3 decision. The Blues got 12 hits in this encounter, three apiece by Linburg and Herb Hodos, while Tom Molumphy got two for the fourth game in a row. In the linal game of the trip Yale got 11 hits, but made six costly errors, in an 11-9 loss to Miami. Yale lost its hrst home game to Connecticut 7-1. Tom Molumphy was the only bright spot in an otherwise dismal game as he hit a double and a triple to account for the only Yale score. Wes- leyan and Yale played to a 9-9 tie. Molumphy and Al Pond each got two of the Yale hits, but the Eli effort was impaired by five errors. Yale lost its first EIBL game to Army 7-5, as it made three of its five errors in the ninth in- ning, and thus, allowed three unearned runs to score. Andy Kugler scored three runs, and George Hodgetts and Al Pond each made two hits for the Blue. Springfield came to New Haven and played Yale to a twelve inning 3-3 deadlock, the third tie of the season for the team. Al Pond had three hits and Linburg two to account for the Yale scoring. Barry Weiner and Jerry Fenton shared the pitching and allowed only a total of six hits over the twelve innings. Two of the Springfield runs were unearned. A Yale rally in the ninth inning could score only two runs, as Yale lost its second league game to Brown 6-5. Hodgetts had three hits and Lin- burg drove in two runs with a triple in the 105- ing effort. In a close contest Yale was defeated by Pennsylvania by a score of 9-5. Dick Linburg sparked the Blue effort with four hits. Four Yale errors were responsible for seven unearned Penn- sylvania runs. Yalels first and only EIBL victory of the sea- son came against Columbia, 3-2. Linburg pitched a glittering three-hitter, his best game of the sea- son. George Hodgetts hit a two-run home run over the left-lield fence to win the game as the Yale team combined great pitching and good Illolllmplyy bill a foul lip fielding on the same day. Trinity shut out Yale 5-0, as Tom Singleton got two of the three Yale hits. Three Eli errors helped the Trinity cause. In a league game at Annapolis, the team was trounced by a strong Navy nine, which went on to win the EIBL title. Four Yale pitchers were equally unsuccessful in the 13-2 rout. Tom M0- lumphy got two of Yaleis seven hits with a sin- gle and a double. The pitchers were equally un- lucky against Amherst and dropped a 14-6 con- test. The Yale batters collected 13 hits, including three each by Lindley and Molumphy. N. Y. U. trimmed the Blue in a 10-3 decision at Yale Field. Pete Lindley got two of the three Yale hits. A sixteen inning league game at Ithaca ended in 21 3-2 triumph for Cornell. Stu Beattie pitched 10 U3 innings and alIOWed only one unearned run, but Yale could get only eight hits, includ- ing three by Bob Bose. A strong Dartmouth team crushed the Elis in a league encounter at Hanover. Excellent pitching held Yale to five hits, while Dartmouth was piling up a 13-3 score. George Hodgetts was responsible for two of the Yale runs with his two hits. Coach Allen sent Beattie to the mound in a league game against Princeton. Yale got three hits and took a 1-0 lead in the second inning, then 186 got only two more hits for the rest of the game as the Tigers coasted to a 7-1 triumph. Yale came from behind to defeat Fordham 11-9. Fordlmm led, 9-4 in the last of the eighth inning, when Yale mllied for seven runs to win the game. The Yale team was beginning to show its capabilities. George Hodgetts delivered four of the 12 Yale hits, batting in his usual leadoff position. Dick Linburg'is home run in the eighth inning, one of only two at Yale Field this year, accounted for 3 RBI'S. Howie Whitmore got the victory in re- lief, bringing his seasons record to 2-2. At Cambridge, in the final game before the examination period, Yale lost its last league game of the season. Harvard took a 2-0 lead in the first inning, but Yale tied it in the fourth on singles by Molumphy, Mitman, and Hodos, and a double by Bob Bose. Harvard scored three Vital runs in the sixth. Yale pinch-hitter Pete Lindley hit a home run in the eighth inning to make the final score Harvard 5, Yale 3. Yale outhit Harvard, 8 to 7. The Yale team showed no sign of having suf- fered from the exam lay-off as they defeated Holy Cross 4-1. Beattie pitched his finest game of the season, giving up only three hits and striking out nine. The Yale attack was led by Hodgetts, who had two importauts hits. The second game with Princeton was a clear indication of YaleTs im- provement. Yale took a 1-0 lead in the first in- ning on a walk to Bose, a sacrifice by Molum- phy, and :1 double by Pete Lindley. Princeton tied the score in the third inning, and finally won the game in the thirteenth. Bruce Irving pitched the whole game for Yale. Each team got nine hits, each left eight men on base, and neither team made an error. Yale relapsed to its early-season form in the second game at Cambridge. Harvard got 2 un- earned runs in the first inning, 1 more in the fourth, 4 earned runs in the fifth, 2 in the sixth, and one more in the seventh, in a 10-0 catastro- phe. Lou DeMattheis got two of the fwe Yale hits. Three Eli errors played a large part in the Harvard scoring. Yale finally beat Princeton, end- ing a four game Tiger streak which extended over two years. Yale won 4-2, in a game that was called because of rain after the minimum of five innings. The Elis scored two runs in the second inning on a walk to Lindley, a double by Phil Arsenault, and a single by Paul Porvaznik. Princeton tied the score in the same inning. Yale fmished the days scoring in the third inning with hits by Molumphy, DeMattheis, and Beattie, and a walk to Lindley. Beattie was the winning pitcher, giving up five hits. Molumphy and Pot- Vaznik each got two of the nine Yale hits. The Yale team brought the season to a suc- cessful finish by defeating Harvard in the last game of the season at Yale Field by an 8-7 score. Harvard drew hrst blood with 21 run in the first inning, and added four more in the second. Yale got one run back in the second inning on a walk to Lindley, followed by a triple by Bob Bose. The Elis picked up another run in the fifth 011 hits by Porvaznik and Bose, and a sacrifice by Bob Burbank. The Yale team scored twice more in the sixth on a single by George Hodgetts, a walk to Lindley, and a triple by A1 Pond. Har- vard retaliated with two runs in the top of the eighth. Yale then won the game in the last half of the eighth inning by scoring four times on four walks and two hits. Jerry Fenton won in relief by retiring Harvard in the ninth inning. Bob Bose was elected captain for the 1960 sea- son after the Harvard game. vk' a am m a 3221a H CREW HE fall of 1958 found the Yale crew and its able coach, Jim Rathschmidt, with what appeared to be another potentiality fine group of oarsmen for the 1959 campaign. Returning from the undefeated 1958 varsity were Bill Wiese, Mike Hard, John Ostheimer, Sam Lambert, Emory Clark, and Bill Gamsey. The 1958 J. V35, Vic- torious over Harvard at New London in June, and the Freshman squad added depth and the assurance of another good season. In the Spring the crew began to concentrate on putting together a winning group of boats. Coach Rathschmidt was faced with the loss of two of his 1958 lettermen. John Ostheimer had been forced to give up rowing after prolonged illness, and Sam Lambert suffered a relapse of the arm ailment which had kept him out of the race against Harvard the previous June. On Saturday, the combination of Bill Wiese tbowy, Tom Vaughan tn, Rick Bockrath m, Captain Mike Hard 00, Em Clark Oi, Bill Garnsey tm, Harry Combs tn, Pye Conway tstrokey, and Dave Dominick tcoxi in the first boat faced Boston University over the Henley dis- tance at Derby. This race, in which Yale came from behind While understroking B. U. by 6 strokes per minute at a 29, gave promise of a good season ahead. Yale won by two boat-lengths on the rough course with a time of 7:06 to B. Ufs 7115.3 The J. V. squad had an even easier time and won their race by approximately five lengths. Two weeks later at Philadelphia Yale faced Pennsylvania and Columbia in the Blackwell Cup Regatta on the Schuylkill River. In preparation for a perennially tough battle, Rathschmidt moved Captain Mike Hard to the number two seat and placed Sophomores Boyce Budd and John Cogs- well in at four and stroke respectively. Under ideal water conditions in a dead calm, a crowd of some 2,500 spectators gathered to view the seventeen event schedule topped by the Blackwell Cup Race.

Ready . . , Impll' hopes rested upon our still unproven varsity. In a race in which the Pennsylvania and Yale boats were never separated by more than a few seats at any point, the tension along the shores quickly mounted as the boats came into view. Pennsylvania took a slight lead at the start, but with 3A; of a mile to go Rathschmidtis varsity crew edged into the lead going under a bridge, understroking Penn by a count of 30 versus 31 strokes per minute. In the final quarter mile Penn made a bid to regain the lead by upping the stroke to 32172 and then 34 and ultimately 36. Yale re- sponded to the challenge by increasing to 32 and finally to 33 as the Elis shot across the line only 1A boat-length ahead. Columbia, never in serious contention, was clocked at 7:07.3 for the mile and 5716. Yale registered 6238.8 and Penn 6:39.8. The following Saturday, May 9th, Yale played host to Cornell and Princeton at Derby for the Carnegie Cup Regatta. The two mile course was ideal, the water of the Housatonic River was utterly Hat and a slight headwind was blowing from the south. The Elis had again been unfor- tunate in the preliminary Freshman and J. V. races, for Cornell dominated each event. Again, all hopes were resting with the varsity in the final event of the day. The Big Red, starting at a 36, settled into a quick 27 3 boat-length advantage over Yale with Princeton in a good third position. With about a mile to go the Elis at a 28 proved their ability by passing Cornell rowing two strokes higher at a beat of 30 strokes per minute. Princeton had dropped back out of the running. By the 3A mile flags Yale had pulled out to a 11-; length lead. With V2 mile to go Cornell tried to recoup her losses and began to push up her stroke, first to a 32 and then to a 33 in the last quarter mile. Yale built her stroke up to a 29 and then a 3015, and crossed the line at 32 still moving out on Cornell. The times were 10:24 and 10:28 for Yale and Cornell. Princeton was well behind with a 10:37. When the Yale squad reached Princeton May 16th for the Eastern Association of Rowing Col- leges 2000 meter sprint championships, the same varsity crew which had beaten Pennsylvania and Cornell found themselves seeded as the favorites. Harvard, also undefeated at this stage of her campaign, and Syracuse were seeded second and third respectively, while Penn and Cornell found themselves paired off for the fourth morning heat. In the morning elimination heat Yale had to scramble to beat a fine Wisconsin squad by 1.4 seconds, or just over 1A of a boat length. Dart- mouth settled for third only a length behind Wisconsin. As expected, Harvard and Syracuse won their races, while Penn nosed out Cornell by less than a deck length in the fourth race. For the finals on Saturday afternoon, Prince- tons Lake Carnegie was stirred up by a moderate taiI-wind of 10 to 15 knots. The varsity cham- pionship was probably the closest and most hotly contested event of the 1959 crew season, and at the same time one of the most bitterly disappoint- ing to the proponents of towing at Yale. Harvard and Syracuse jumped into the lead Which they shared neck and neck until the last few strokes when Harvard squeezed ahead by about six feet to beat Syracuse by a mere 0.4 seconds. Yale rowed a good race but never seemed to be able to find the spark which had enabled her to come from behind to vanquish Penn and Cornell in races earlier in the season. The Elis finished third behind Syracuse while Penn took fourth place by an additional boat-length. Harvards, winning time was 6:031 Syracuse finished at 6:037, while Yale and Pennsylvania were clocked at 6:079 and 6:122 respectively. In the final team stand- ings for the Rowe Cup for total points amassed in Varsity, J V., and Freshman events, Yale was sixth, with Harvard winning and Pennsylvania close behind in second place. The following weekend the varsity crews left for their annual three week training session at Gales Ferry, north of New London, to prepare for the four mile classic against Harvard on the Thames. Life settled down into a routine of eat- ing, sleeping, and vigorous workout under the watchful eyes of Coach Rathschmidt and his staff. All seemed to be going satisfactorily until three days before the big race, when Rick Bockrath was suddenly sidelined with a pulled muscle in his left arm. He was replaced by Frank Beane, an able substitute from the J. V. squad. The question then seemed to be whether or not the sudden shift in personnel so soon before the zero hour would have adverse effects on the speed or smoothness of the varsity boat. On Saturday, June 13th, the following boat- load of men went forth to defend Yale's honor and record of superiority on the Thames during the five previous years: bow, Bill Wiese; 2, Mike Hard; 3, Frank Beane; 4, Boyce Budd; 5, Emory Clark; 6, Bill Garnsey; 7, Harry Combs; stroke, John Cogswell; and coxswain, Dave Dominick. The race was delayed for over half an hour due to a sudden squall which blanketed the course. As dusk began to settle on the already heavily overcast sky the boats nnally moved up to the starting line. Both crews rowed a beautiful race but again Yale seemed to be lacking that intangible some- thing that makes the difference betwen victory and defeat. Most of the race was towed at 28 strokes per minute. During this time the Cantabs successfully staved off four Yale bids for the lead and finally raised the stroke to a 31 to lead the Elis across the iinish line by 2V2 boat-lengths. Harvards time was 19:52, while Yale completed the four mile grind with a 20:02. Those who saw the contest could not but agree that Yale per- formed well. But unfortunately, the Elis were sec- ond best when the judges flag signalled the end of the race. At the banquet that night Harry Combs re- ceived the Augustus S. Blagden Trophy presented to that senior who in spirit and action has done most to enhance the tradition of towing at Yale. The Class of 1930 award went to Tom Vaughan for spirit and co-operation. Emory Clark was an- nounced as the captain-elect for the 1959-1960 season, while Peter Dickinson and Roger Kellet were named as Varsity and 150 pound managers. The general feeling prevailed that while on paper the season appeared only moderately successful, it had been one of great personal value to each and every individual who had been connected with the crews in any way.

LIGHTWEIGHT CREW ITH only three members of the 1958 first boat returning, the lightweight crew quickly developed into a fast and spirited outfit under the coaching of John Cooke. Cooke, 21 member of Yaleis 1956 Olympic Championship Crew, watched his varsity squad set :1 new course record in their hrst race at Kent, defeating a crew which later traveled to Henley. The next race saw a surprising Dartmouth crew upset Yale at Derby to capture the Loyal Durand Cup for the flrst time. However, on the following weekend Yale exhibited its best form of the season in defeating Princeton, Columbia, and Pennsylvania over the Henley distance on the Schuykill River at Philadelphia. The thirty-foutth running of the Goldthwaite Cup races at Princeton was :1 disappoining sequel to the Victory at Philadelphia. Both the varsity and junior varsity crews finished third to Har- vard and Princeton. At the EARC Sprint Championships at Cam- bridge, exceedingly rough water presented prob- lems to all crews, but Harvard's Henley champions showed their superiority by winning the after- noon's finals easily. The varsity was the only Yale crew to advance to the finals and finished sixth to Columbia, Cornell, Princeton, Dartmouth, and Harvard. One cheerful prospect remained at the end of the season. Eight members of the varsity, includ- ing the coxswain, and the entire junior varsity crew were returning for the 1960 season. The 1959 lightweight crew was quite impres- sive early in the spring but slacked off somewhat as the season wore on. Nevertheless, this team compiled one of the strongest and most improved records in recent years. TRACK THE 1959 Yale track team opened the year with a fantastically successful indoor record. On January 17th Yale displayed their strength by capturing two firsts and a second at the Boston K of C meet. Captain John Slowik placed second in the SOO-yard-run and later ran the last leg of the two-mile relay with teammates Jim Stack, Jim Wade, and Ed Roache. Stack, Knebel, Waldorf, and Bain performed equally well, winning the one-mile relay in 3 222.5. Yale sent two relay squads and several indi- viduals to the Millrose A. A. Meet at Madison Square Garden in New York. Considering the loss of conditioning occasioned by the exam break, the Blue performed quite well. With Jim Stack running the fastest leadoff leg of the evening, 50.0, the mile relay team won handily from Pen11., Harvard, Colgate, and Princeton. Stack, Knebel, Waldorf, and Captain Slowick turned in a 3:214, the fastest Eli mile relay of the indoor season. Bill Markle placed fourth in the shot put; the two-mile relay squad finished flfth in an event won by Georgetown. x Wzt- n 0W 9 4M0 whit YALE Yale's first indoor triangular meet was held February 6th at Coxe Cage in New Haven. The Elis proved to be rather inhospitable as they scored 75 points against Penn's 36 and Brown's 26. Sophomore Jim Stack, in winning the 600 yard run, broke the Yale and Coxe Cage records with a docking of 1210.2. Two other records fell in the course of the afternoon, Steve Snyder break- ing the Yale and Coxe Cage records for the 60 yard dash, :06.2, and John Morrison romping home in the two-mile run With a time of 9228.7, establishing a new Coxe Cage record. One week later Yale again demonstrated their superiority in Ivy League competition defeat- ing Harvard and Princeton, 7273 e 5573 e 9. Convincing victories in the mile and two mile relays assured Yale of a decisive margin and the Big Three Crown.

Yale picked up ten firsts including another of John Morrison's successful assaults on the Coxe Cage record; this time he ran the two mile event in 9225.0. Elated by early successes, the Blue harriers journeyed to New York to compete in the I. C. A. A. A. A. indoor championships on February 27. The Yale team, although hurt by the absence of Captain John Slowik, placed a creditable third in a field consisting of some twenty-five schools. Jim Stack placed first in the 600-yard run with 1:12.0. This effort coupled with points picked up by Steve Snyder, Bill Markle, Al Leisenring, and the two-mile relay squad accounted for Yaleis 17 points. Yale entered the twelfth annual Heptagonal Indoor Championships as co-favorites with Army. The powerful blue squad dominated the meet capturing four championships; Navy and Army took three each, while Cornell, Brown, and Penn gained one first place. Stack won the 600-yard run; Ed Slowik and Tom Carroll placed first and second in the lOOO-yard run. Again, the one-mile and two-mile events were captured by Yale. The indoor season ended successfully as the Elis smashed Dartmouth in a dual meet at Han- over on March 14th. Yale won 6415 to 43V; Throughout the indoor season the Blue harriers remained undefeated and untied in dual and tri- angular meets. With this record Coaches Robert Giegengack and Frank Ryan looked forward to a spectacular outdoor season. The squad did not disappoint them. On March 21 a group of thirty-three trackmen fiew to Florida where they were the guests of the University of Miami at Coral Gables in the Exhibition-Sports Carnival Track Meetethe score, Yale 90, Georgia Tech 46, Miami 26. The squad then travelled to New York and met somewhat chillier weather and stiffer competition at the Queens-Iona Relays. Yale finished in first place with a total of 49V2 points. The team of Jim Wade, Ed Roache, Ed Slowik, and Tom Cath- cart won the two-mile relay in 7:536. Dave Cross placed first in his event, hammer throw f166f GVZU; Mike Pyle heaved the discus 159 feet, 4 inchesegood for a first. The one-mile sprint medley team finished first but was dis- qualified for passing out of zone. Yale placed in nearly every event; these efforts assured Victory over second place Manhattan College, a squad which gave the Elis no little trouble throughout the year. The first outdoor dual meet occurred April 25 at DeWitt Cuyler,Field. Yale soundly defeated Army, 8762 by winning eleven events. The Elis established three new meet records and one new Yale mark in their romp over a strong Army team. Once again, Tom Carroll starred in the role of record-breaker, lowering his previous time in the 880 with a magnificent 1250.0 clocking. Steve Snyder, Yale's short distance expert, won the 100- yard dash in a creditable 9.9 seconds; later he blazed across the finish line in the 220 in a rec- ord tying eHorteOQLS. Yale met no effective opposition in the discus throw; Pyle, Markle, and Zug finished one, two, three.

Obviously, the destruction of so many rec- ords indicated to Coach Giegengack that his ,59 stluad was of extraordinary caliber, and with this comforting knowledge he anticipated the forth- coming Big Three meets. On May 2 Yale smothered Princeton. In piling up a score of 96-44, the Blue harriers won twelve of the sixteen events. Again, new meet records were establishedeJim Wade won the mile run in 4215.2, John Morrison was clocked at 9:219 in the two-mile event, and the team of Lundell, Knebel, XValdorf and Carroll turned the trick in the one-mile relay with a time of 3217.4. Steve Snyder and Jim Carney captured a total of four first places for the Blue; Snyder won the 100- yard dash and later bested Allyn in the 220. Car- ney took the 220 low hurdles and later caught Princeton's Barmatz in the high hurdles. Yale's tremendous depth, that quality which assures con- sistently hne team performances, was clearly evi- dent on this afternoon at Palmer Stadium; in three separate events Yale denied their opposition the opportunity to score by capturing first, second, and third position. The Elis chalked up a convincing victory over Harvard on May 9th, 82-38, losing only four firsts t0 the Cantabs. Outstanding performances were turned in by Jim Stack whose O:48.0 in the 440 tied a Yale record, Tom Carroll who set an- other meet record in the 880 with a 152.0, and the one-mile relay team U. Slowik, Knebel, Wal- dorf, Stacki, lowering the previous time to 3216.6. Ed Slowik competed in the mile run for the first time in the season and surprisingly defeated Har- vard's highly touted Dyke Benjamin, a perform- ance emblematic of the versatility, proficiency, and spirit which this team displayed all year. Yaleis victory here assured them of the Big Three track title and of a season unmarred by tie or defeat in dual and triangular contests. The Heptagonals were held in New Haven on May 16th. The Yale squad performed brilliantly in subduing Army, Navy, and their Ivy League opponents. Jim Stack won the 440, turning in a creditable time of 0248.0. Steve Snyder, a con- sistently fine sprinter for Yale captured two hrstswthe lOO-yard dash and the 220. Tom Car- roll and Ed Slowik placed first and second in the 880-yard run. Again the one-mile relay squade this time composed of John Slowik, Knebel, Wale dorf, and Stackwdelighted the spectators by fin- ishing in the record time of 3:147. Gel 11m! left foot 7sz The Elis, jubilant after their victory in the Hep- tagonals suffered a severe disappointment in the I. C. 4Ais held on May 50 at Randallis Island, New York. The team gained 914 points and fin- ished a dismal tenth. Slowik and Carroll placed fourth and fifth in the 880-yard run. Mike Pyle finished third in the discus mm. Dave Cross took a fourth in the hammer throw t172' 8V2U. Snyder and Leisenring took fifth place in their events to round out the scoring. The 1959 track squad ended the season on :1 highly successful note. Yale and Harvard culmi- nated their seasons, efforts by defeating a spirited Oxford-Cambridge team in England. It was the Americans, first win in the series since 1933 and was achieved in spite of numerous mishaps. Steve Snyder was unable to run; Dave Bain run well in the 220 but pulled a muscle and was forced to drop out. Tom Carroll pulled ahead at the start of the 220 yard run and drew more than ten yards clear in a new series record of 1151.5. Jim Stack also produced a win for the Yale-Harvard squad, pulling away in the stretch from Patryn of Ox- ford. Bill Markle heaved the shot 52 feet, 2 inches bettering the number two man by a foot. In the discus Mike Pyle completely outclassed his opposition with three throws over 156 feet. Fol- lowing Stacks victory the score was eveneeach team had captured seven events. The crucial event of the afternoon then became the 440-yard relay. After some moments of tension and a false start, the American relay squad, composed of Landau and Yeomans from Harvard and Jim Luck ta freshmam and Jim Carney from Yale, won this flnal event. Each of the Yale-Harvard runners gained a few yards over their English opponents through superior speed and baton changing. It was a truly magnificent eftort resulting in a new meet record, 42.4 seconds, and an extremely sat- isfying victory for the American contingent. It is only fair that some mention be made of the truly notable achievements rendered by this squad. The two-mile relay team took the flrst National A. A. U. indoor title ever won by a Yale team. Two of the many individual stars were singled out for awards. Jim Wade received the Millet Memorial Trophy; John Morrison was granted the Rollie Spitzer Memorial Trophy for outstanding distance running. Certainly, when one considers the caliber of the 1959 squad, it is somewhat unfortunate that a dozen more such honors could not have been heaped upon the members of this fine team.

N a cold day in early March eight lettermen and thirty hopefuls gathered by Coxe Cage to begin officially the 1939 Yale Lacrosse season. For two weeks Coach Bill Harkness and Captain Lovejoy prepared the team for their trip to the Naval Airforce Base in Jacksonville, Florida. The team practiced ten days in Florida and proceeded north to Baltimore where they were to meet National Champions Johns Hopkins in the open- ing game of the season. The club wound up on short end of a 20-9 score, after leading 4-8 at the half. Otto Rogers and Fleming Newbold ac- counted for six of the Eli goals. The next day the squad was severely beaten by Maryland, this time by a 16-4 score. Maryland proved to be much too fast for the Elis, outshoot- ing them almost three to one. Also, the Yale de- defence was unable to stop the sharply cutting, Maryland midiield. With the return of the seniors who remained in New Haven studying for comprehensives, the Elis opened their home schedule registering a 4-2 victory over Penn. The team took a break from Ivy competition the following Saturday, traveling to West Point to play an always power- ful Army contingent. On this cold, rainy day the 196 Elis dropped their third contest, 12-2, as the well- conditioned Army team dominated play on the muddy turf. The faltering Yale attack ground to a halt, unable to muster a shot on the Army goal the entire second half. The Yale team received another blow in this game; Esselstyn was seri- ously injured in the first half, never to perform as effectively as he did earlier in the season. Although Yale was able to score ten times the following Wednesday against Rutgers in Bruns- wick, the fast red team came out on top of a 14-10 score. The Elis by this time had begun to find a workable attack. Fleming Newbold, Jack Allen, and Mike Bradley scored six goals among them, Bradley shooting three into the Rutgers net. Seniors Pete Thorson, Dick Sigal, and Buddy Watt made up the first midfield and accounted for three more goals. Yale played Syracuse in New Haven on Satur- day, April 18 and defeated a weak Orange squad by a 12-7 score. Jack Allen had four goals, Mike Bradley two and Ray Clevenger, replacing the injured Newbold, posted a goal and six assists. The second midfield of Dave Brubaker, Otto Rogers, and Mike Curran amassed a total of 26 shots and only two goals. The team practiced shooting the following week in preparation for the R. P. 1. game. These efforts proved to be successful as Yale won 7-6. The scoring was di- vided among six players, Allen scoring twice. The defensive unit again looked good, especially sophomore Dave Simmons and goalie Eaton, who had nineteen saves. On the following Wednesday the Yale team put on their worst performance of the season. They proved to be slow and spiritless against a fired up Williams squad that appeared to score at will chalking up a 15-4 victory. The team returned to Ivy play the second day of May in New Haven but lost 7-5 to Cor- nell. Again, it appeared to be a lack of spirit and speed that hurt Yale. The midfields were unable to get the ball to the attack. As a result the Yale team was again severely out-shot, this time by a 3-1 margin. Jack Allen led the Yale scoring with two goals. In the following encounter Yale bowed to an excellent Princeton squad 14-3. Princeton showed superior speed and passing skill. Their amazing attack managed to score 12 times, while the Yale attack got off only eight shots. Allen again scored twice; Sophomores Lee Mallory and Ken Wolfe also turned in respectable performances for Yale. Next Yale made the long journey to play the defending Ivy Champs, Dartmouth, and turned in one of their best games of the season, although losing 11-8. Otto Rogers, who had been promoted to first midfield, was the standout in this game scoring three times and assisting once. Senior Pete Thorson scored twice, and Barnes Ellis performed Ealou Jame: allempt for goal well in the goal Yale completed the season at Cambridge in an extremely satisfying victory over Harvard. The attack of Mallory, Allen and Brubaker finally jelled. Allen scored three times and Mallory twice. Mike Curran and Otto Rogers on the starting mid- field again played well, showing speed and good stick work which resulted in three goals. The de- fense distinguished itself by holding All-Ivy at- tack man, Dave Bohn, to four goals. The over-all record of the team of 4-8 was not impressive; however, captain Lovejoy and attack- man Allen posted fine seasons for the Blue, along with seniors Pete Thorson and John Brubaker. Considering the improvement of sophomores Lee Mallory, Dave Simmons, and Ken Wolfe, and the return of Fleming Newbold, Dick Sigal, and Captain-elect Mike Curran, the team should look forward to a more successful year in 1960.

The Elis again stroked their way to the Ivy League and Big Three titles Vein Hie: .rborl mm and enhanced their prestige by taking the Eastern Intercollegiate Championship for the third con- secutive season. Yale's five-man aggregate com- piled 770 strokes on their way to the title, and favored Penn State finished a poor second, flfteen strokes back. The great depth of the team was CXe hibited when Mike Phillips, Yale's number flve man, was runner-up for the individual cham- pionship in the EIGA tournament and when Captain-elect Teddy Weiss advanced to the semi- fmals 0f the NCAA before losing to Houstonk eventual champion, Dick Crawford. In addition to Suisman, Phillips, and Weiss, lettermen Frost XValker, Al Gilison, Bob Jones, and Alex Boyle contributed greatly to Yale's per- fect 10-0 record. Eli opponents could only muster a total of twelve individual Victories as Coach Wilson's players swept fifty-eight matches in regular season competition. In a fall playoff Frost Walker defeated Al Gilison, 70-72, to win the Paul Haviland Memorial Award. With the loss of only two starters, Captain Suisman and Boyle, Coach Wilson can indeed look forward to another promising season in 1960. TENNIS HE Eastern Intercollegiate, Ivy, and Big Three titles returned to New Haven as the 1959 Yale Tennis Team turned in one of its fmest records in many years. Undefeated in regu- lar season play, the racquetmen were led by na- tionally ranked Donald Dell, who was named to the All-American Tennis Team, Jon Clark, captain, and Tom Freiberg, a powerful senior. Gene Scott, Sandy Wiener, and Rick Wallace turned in sparkling performances for the Elis in the singles division, while Sonny Howe, Ted Prince, Whit Biggs, Sam Heyman and Craig Joyner were impressive in their doubles victories. After returning from pre-season practice in Florida, the Yale team ran through its first three opponents without dropping any individual match. The Elis then whipped Penn by a 66 score and trounced Columbia and a highly-mted Dartmouth squad by identical 8-1 scores. A stubborn Wile liams team was subdued 72, followed by the Elis' fourth shutout of the season over an inex- perienced Brown team. A completely out-manned Princeton team was put to rout, 14-1, in a match enjoyed by a large College XVeekend crowd. The finishing touches of a spectacular season were applied the follow- ing week in Cambridge, where the Yale team defeated Harvard, last year's spoilers, 6-3, in a match highlighted by iicome-from-behind vic- tries by Rick Wallace and Tom Freiberg. This contest, halted several times by rain and then moved indoors because of darkness, featured many three-set matches, and the outcome was always questionable until Clark and Freiberg won their exciting doubles match. Captain Clark was acclaimed for his leader- ship at the annual banquet and was presented with the George A. Phelps Memorial Award, while Gene Scott was named recipient of the Sportsmanship Cup. Also at the banquet, Captain- elect Dell and Freiberg were applauded for their doubles victory in the New England Champion- ships. More laurels were heaped upon this fine squad later in June, when Dell fought 2111 the way to the finals of the NCAA Tennis Championships. In the final round Dell put up a terrific battle, and bowed to Whitney Reed only after forcing the match to five long sets. With a strong nucleus of seniors returning and a talented sophomore contingent, the Elis are looking for another spectacular year in 1960. 8.1er R011'--Skilin12m tCoachy, Hopkins, Heyman, Scott, Weiner, Laird tManageQ.

Indeed, as the season progressed, it appeared that the perennial problem of cheering versus student apathy would be affected much less by unimpressive football than by the monsoon rains that plagued almost every weekend. To meet this challenge came the quartet from the 1958 season: Captain Bob McKinlay, Doug Guiler, Clint McIntosh, and Clyde Edgar. Rick tliBaCkflipU Best and Steve t'ilKnee-cast'd Kass joined the squad during spring tty-outs. George Steers, the sole freshman representative, came to the group during the fall competition. However, one cannot deny that the most colorful addition to the squad was Handsome Dan X, a decidedly better gymnast than his noble and late predeces- sor, Handsome Dan IX. Highlights of the season began with the UConn rally which seemed to ignite a fuse of enthu- siasm, so that during the following weeks spirits ran as high as the Eli scores. Unfortunately, after the first few games, rain made the ground a little too hazardous for executing many of the round- OH back flip, shoulder Hip, and cast flip routines that had been worked out. However, thanks to the Y. A. A., the squad acquired a trampolette that provided some variation in the sideline gymnastics. The most eventful weekend was that of the Harvard game with a rally on Friday night which included the burning of John Harvard as he hung from an all-too-realistic gallows. Attempts by a group of honorable men from Cambridge to steal the effigy, to spirit away Handsome Dan X, and to put the P. A. system out of commission were all foiled by the clever work of Chief Bowers and his 8. 8. men. Saturday afternoon, as all will remember, was not a happy one for old Eli. However, next year promises to be a fruitful one for both the football team and the cheer- leaders tespecially with the indomitable spirit of Handsome Dan xy . RICHARD A. WINKLER EUGENE L.

Rifle Cbeerlmdiug 205 MODERN ARCHITECTURE AT YALE 12y Vimeizl f. Smily, fix, Airsrotmle Profemor 0f Hijlm'y of Art HE modern buildings which have risen on the Yale campus during the past seven years comprise as varied a group of inventive designs as can be found anywhere in America. They are not a homogeneous group, like those designed by Walter Gropius for the Harvard Graduate Center and by Mies Van der Rohe for the Illinois Institute of Technology. Instead they stand as yet far apart on the edges of the campus and serve specialized functions unrelated to each other. Their variety was in part made possible by that isolation, but it derives more particularly from the differences between the architects who designed them. A list of those architects, along with some who now have buildings in the project stage, includes many of the most important names in contemporary architecture: Louis I. Kahn, Paul Schweikher, Eero Saarinen, Paul Rudolph, Philip Johnson, and Gordon Bunschaft. It is apparent that the University has generally followed the sound practice of seeking out the best men available instead of allowing more parochial considerations to dictate the choice. In view of this it is perhaps surprising that Mies Van der Rohe has not yet been invited to participate in the program, and it is surely deplorable that the chance which once existed to commission a building by Le Corbusier tsince employed by Harvardy was lost. Yet, one supposes that no single university can have everything, and it is clear that what we have got so far at Yale is of out- standing quality and interest. Kahn's Art Gallery, the first building of the new group to be constructed, probably remains the most important of them all so far as its continuing effect upon architecture as a whole is con- cerned. Built in 1952-53, it was the first of Kalufs series of mature designs and began that attempted integration of space, structure and building form which Kahn has since carried further in his Medical Laboratories for the University of Pennsylvania. The latter are indeed regarded by many native and foreign archi- tects as the most significant buildings to be constructed in America since the Second World War. In the Art Gallery the desired inte' gration of structure with interior space and exterior shape was not fully achieved, but the conception was present, and it reveals itself in the heroically scaled tetrahedrons of the ceiling slabs and in the solemnly spaced columns which support them. It is unfortunate xv: mgag: 3 E E; i gng cm Eg Egg 5 w 3233 w mg 9.3 waaayq M. that the rather majestic rhythms so created, in which the individual works of art on display shone like jewels, should have since been destroyed throughout much of the building by the installation of planes of wall which mask the columns and thus bring the con- crete tetrahedrons crashing down upon the spectators head. Yet we must ask ourselves if the new installation, based as it is upon a decorative aesthetic that was already moribund twenty years ago, is not considerably less permanent than the building itself. The latter will surely outlast its temporary mutilation and will be even more unanimously recognized in the future for what it has always been: an outstanding credit to Yale. The siting of the Art Gallery was a difficult problem, but it was solved with considerable success in relation to the older build- ing, to Chapel Street, and to Weir Court, which has always been one of the finest spaces at Yale and which the new building 110ny enhanced, while it might so easily have destroyed it. Anothex distinguished space is the long axis of Hillhouse Avenue, once perfectly culminated by the Greek Revival Hillhouse mansion upon the height. After the senseless destruction of that house, no building of any size could have been placed on the hill directly at the end of the axis, since 2L large mass at that point would have had the effect not of concluding the spatial avenue but simply of blocking it as some of the project models for that area in the 209 ysvu most recent University plan by Saarinen and Orr clearly show. It is in the light of these conditions that the sensitivity of Paul Schweikherls siting of the Gibbs Research Laboratory, of 1955. can best be appreciated. He set it off the axis, its narrow end to- wards Hillhouse Avenue, so that the height of the hill was left open as a high plateau which the present building defines on the east and a projected building, set across the axis but beyond the brow of the hill, was to have bounded on the north. In this way Schweikher saved both the avenue and the hilltop, but the build- ing to the north must someday be built in the position projected by him if the desirable composition is ever to be complete. Standing alone, Gibbs Laboratory is most successful when its long sides are seen from Prospect Street and from Whitney Ave- nue, where it forms an urbane backdrop for some splendid trees. Its own abstractly scaled forecourt on the hilltop forms an appro- priate setting for its vertical columns, while its cool surfaces and clean profiles rise in strong contrast to the darkly furrowed masses of East Rock beyond. The building, constructed according to the strict module of a reinforced concrete frame with exposed col- umns and infilling panels of metal and glass, has been criticized for a certain inflexibility in its functional spaces and a kind of aridity in its details. These criticisms may be valid, but the build ingls positive qualities are many. It was conceived and carried out with what can only be called a kind of integral decency: pre- cisely, economically, with modesty and restraint. Historically speaking, it brought to Yale some of that pristine simplicity of shape and reverent care in the assembling of components which have been most associated since the war with the later work of Mies Van der Rohe but for which Schweikher himself has been eminently distinguished. Eero Saarinenls David S. Ingalls Rink, of 1957-58, is obviously, a very different kind of building: a single shape creating one expansive space. There can be little doubt that Saarinenls first intention for the design was a purely formal one. The great arch suggested itself, and the side walls then took on a curve in plan which complemented the curve in elevation of the center member. Once this conception was complete all else, seating, structure, lighting, ventilation, even siting, were adjusted to it. The bent re- inforced concrete beam of the arch sprang from a massive pier at each short end of the building and cantilevered out from it to create an entrance area. The problem of entering such a single space was thus integrally solvedaif one allows for the rather disturbing centrality of the structural pier as it had not been in Saarinenls earlier dome for M. I. T. The roof was then hung as cables in tension, drooping tent-like between the central arch and the side walls, which also curved upward toward the center to provide the necessary seating space. The exterior shape thus be- came largely an expression of the roof as a plastic shell over a building which came swimming up out of the earth, seeming to culminate an upward rise of the ground itself. Therefore the building should have been placed on the top of a gently rolling hillock rather than on flat ground at the bottom of a considerable hill, as it had to be. The insistence of the structural engineers 211 upon the necessity for exterior lateral bracing in the form of cables further vitiated the integrity of the exterior, as the large outlets for air conditioning injured its scale. Inside, too, the eventual placing of the lights as a single flat plane overhead tended to mask the upward curve of the arch which is itself so expressive of the swooping rushes of hockey. Despite all these problems, the relentless insistence of the rink to remain what it was first in- tended to be somehow comes through as a positive force in the final state of the building, especially as it is approached from the east toward the gaping entrance. It draws the crowds down into its icy Inaw as it was meant to do, and it dramatizes the act of skating as no other building has ever done. a W n x V???

V4: 7 w HR Saarinenls sense of architecture as drama is apparent in his projects for the new colleges as well. These have not as yet been published enough for a considered opinion to be made about them, but it seems apparent that their asymetry is primarily picturesque in conception, like that of James Gamble Rogers, colleges of the twenties and thirties. Towers, courts, irregular room shapes, roughly textured surfaces and restricted light are common to both, but Saarinenls shapes are superficially more violent and harder than those of Rogers, presumably befitting the tougher view of the world which exists today. Like Rogers' Gothic piles, how- ever, the Saarinen projects are conceived as stage sets intended to dramatize the romantic specialness of undergraduate life. Given that intention, their picturesque composition seems fairly con- vincing so far as it can be studied now. It remains to be seen whether Saarinen can solve the problems of structure, scale and lighting to the point where the buildings as such may become in- tegrated wholes and impress us thereby with the reality rather than the make-believe of the special world which they profess to create. In his one completed building at Yale, Paul Rudolph also seems to have set himself the task of dramatizing a special pro- gram. The columns of his Greeley Laboratory for the Forestry School, of 1958, spread like trees and form a grove. It is true that Rudolph had used the split column earlier in his design for the Blue Cross building in Boston. But in the Forestry Laboratory he extended the upper arms of the columns like branches, some- what curving and softening;r toward their extremeties as if they were becoming creepers. They support a concrete slab of which the beam system is expressed in fluid channels, so that the ceiling of the interior enhances the grove-like imagery of the whole. The walls of the various laboratories are kept lower than the ceiling rising about to the point where the columns of exterior and in- terior begin to spread. Those partitions might perhaps have been kept slightly lower than they are for the overall pavilion effect of the interior to have remained more apparent. Yet it is always felt, and is remarkable in that it both allows considerable objective Iclarity and spaciousness in the separate laboratories and at the .same time houses them all in a poetic metaphor upon their even- tual meetingea metaphor Which somehow remains architecturally abstract enough not to become embarrassingly obvious. Similarly, in the Rudolph building all the details are carefully worked out and give the impression, despite their occasional overarticulation and complexity, of having been integrally studied in relation to the architecture as a whole. This elaborate care extends itself to the buildings siting, so that, seen as it is on entrance from above, the gravel of the flat roof is worked into a pattern which expresses that of the beam structure below it. Moreover, the base of the building steps carefully in stages down the hill, coming finally to its western extremity where it rises as a high, sloping podium, perforated in the center and supporting the thin volume of the main pavilion above. In this view, at first, the upper floor seemed am x m; in a ME am we ..u..' ;-. W , ; di- :- nw . - 5, mm 'a ' I!

From Edwards Street, however, the treelike pavilion expresses itself most successfully in the build- ing's long side, while its appropriate abstraction from actual tree forms is emphasized by the grand oak which spreads its branches before it. Finally, the excellence of the siting can be seen upon entrance from Prospect Street, where the strong horizontal of the slab on the north side carries the eye across space toward West Rock, while the monumentally geometric forms of XVinchester's chimneys and water towers stand between. Rudolph's design for the new Art School Building is now well advanced as a project, but a discussion of it should properly wait until it reaches its final form and is published. It will stand on the comer of Chapel and York Streets, where its hollowed out concrete mass and its high columns will complement upon the angle of the street the strong bulk of Kahnis Art Gallery, in a sense its ancestor. This relationship Will make doubly clear a truth that should always have been obvious: that, given its overall plan, the University dare commission none but the best architects to build the best and most forward-looking buildings possible. 219 Once this rhythm is set up, the physical environment of the Uni- versity will always express living growth, and the new buildings will always be appropriate to the old. More opportunities to test this truth will arise. For example: as the University's master plan develops, the east-west axis Which now stretches from Sterling Memorial Library to College Street remains to be extended. John Russell Pope first envisaged it in his plan of 1919, and he wished at that time to continue it to Temple Street, there to intersect at long diagonal axis to Hillhouse Avenue. The latter, grandiose scheme Will, mercifully, never be carried out, having been blocked by Silliman College, but the original axis will probably soon force its way through the present Treasureris Office, to culminate behind it in some new construc- tions which will organize the present open space in the center of the block.

What is needed here is not another avenue, but an inte- grally studied group of buildings like Kahnls for the University of Pennsylvania, referred to earlier. Soon, therefore, old and new structures will become ever more integrally locked together in the fabric of the University. In that organism the preservation of old buildings, where appropriate, will be as important as the creation of new. Pope, for example, originally intended a major axis to run from Freshman Commons t which he hoped to mask with a Gothic libraryl all the way to the Old Campus, obliterating Durfee Hall on the way. This ven- ture would have destroyed the Old Campus as a contained space; its protected pool would have flowed out into a rather monotonous river. Bertram Goodhue, partly recognizing this fact, hoped only to split Durfee and to place a colonnade in its center, but the most recent plan would eliminate Durfee entirely once more, running the axis through it to a point where, in the heart of the Old Campus, it would culminate obscurely in an underscaled fountain 223 0r sculptural group of some sort. It seems clear that Durfee must be retained, certainly pierced on the axis by a fairly wide but no more than one story high opening toward Elm Street tonce that thoroughfare is tunnelled or bridgedy but never removed, else the Old Campus will become nothing at all. In consequence, since architecture is not only or even primarily single buildings but the organization of groups of buildings to- gether in a place, the future of Yalels architecture as a whole Will depend upon the quality of its plan. That plan, as indicated earlier, should never be so strict as to demand homogeneity be- tween all the individual buildings in it. Instead, it should en- courage whatever variety may intrinsically develop. It must re- main supple and sensitive to the character of spaces and 0f chang- ing needs, so that it, like the buildings in it, may embody, not merely reflect, the Vitality of lifeea living tradition.

Russel. ,4 FOUNDED 1841 OON after taking office, it became readily apparent to the 1960 Board that there was a woeful inconsistency between textbook knowledge and the activities of a real life or- ganization. All of the theoretical principles of Industrial Administration, Psychology, Political Science, and American Studies majors, when duly expressed, refined, and combined with proper refreshment, were still of far less im- portance than a unified vote of the Senior Board at the meeting. Once having discovered this most universal of all principles, the prospective law- yers began to carefully inspect the revered Con- stitution of the Oldest College Yearbook. Essen- tial changes were proposed, and it was a wonder that the organization had flourished for 1 19 years with such a democratic structure. Some of the neophyte sophomores and juniors did wonder, but the seniors were unanimous in their support, and the others eventually wished to make the changes more unanimous. their Other autocratic measures were clearly evident. XWith an expanding economy, certain price polie Cies seemed outmoded. After lllittle discussion, those responsible for Freshman Week, on the very eve of this festival, fully aware of the in- elasticity of freshman demand and the elasticity of their credulity, deemed a price change essen- tial. As was anticipated, the freshman class soon learned to conceive of 21 Bamzer purchase as :1 privilege accorded only to the Yale community and a few select outsiders. Naturally, they rushed to Dwight Hall, our oilice on the Old Campus, to be among the first. This enthusiasm confirmed the theories of our psychologists tdisciples 0f Packardt and our economists who easily ex- plained the result in terms of Veblen's conspicu- ous consumption. However, some upperclassmen felt that freshman standards were outgrown, but eventually even they succumbed to the realization that quality is remembered long after price is forgotten. Reinforced by the accuracy of our predictions, but desirous of offering an absolute proof to the rest of the board, we moved back to our main oHice in Hendrie Hall and set about a most am- bitious project. A random'selection of the tele- phone directories published by the other major telephone-directory-publishing companies revealed that some undefinable something had been lack- ing in the Banner book. Laborious and extensive investigation uncovered the exact nature of this deficiencyeneed for Yellow pages. And so the first classified section appeared. But not content with merely equaling our competitors, we desired a book that would be lltruly lasting. To achieve this, a proper choice of cover was essential. First it had to be strong enough to withstand the efforts of would-be athletes. Second, and most im- portant, it had to be liquid resistant. One fratere nity on fraternity row misinterpreted the purpose of this cover, for they referred to it as water- AIIoIlJer 60771Ii776i71g Banner wirtm'y Lu. JOHN A. LEVIN : Chairman A Going Places for earl; gifl film! z'mllrilzmm'. 285: m repellent. Actually it was designed to be liquor resistant. Our theoretical beliefs were reconfirmed by the success of this project, and again the whole organization was even more unanimous. There was, however, one crucial test of strength when the principle of unanimity failed. In the haste of publishing the telephone directory one month earlier, some people were unavoidably omitted. A supplement including these people was prepared. However, this was ready for dis- tribution at such a late date that the Senior Board felt that it would be inappropriate to distribute them. The remainder of the organization held the opposite opinion, and despite the utilization of all possible parliamentary procedures, they carried the day. But as might be expected in such a demo- FRANKIJN J. LUNDING, JR. Advertising Manager I f we could only predict the future. FRITZ HUNTING Circulation Blanager Tbs: limel: out of john. cratic community, the supplements were never distributed. Amidst this democracy there was an abundance of tyranny, and even a greater portion of anarchy. And within the confusion, compounded by the loss of the Treasurer's book and the Treasurer, the Chairman tried to steer a steady course in order that the main work of the year could be accomplished. Clearly this was the annual miracle. Hardened and inured by his law school experience, and wary of white space, the Editor-in-Chief re- awakened his long-forgotten talents of cutting and pasting, although claiming that this was but an indication of his forthcoming surgical dCXn terity. He was occasionally caught mumbling about the resemblance of divider pages and Rorschach tests. The Photography Chairman, a man of many varied talents, was known for his concentrated and intense work. He lived in the great tradition of executives and clarified for all of us many of our duties when he commented, I'm an execu- tive, Do you think I take pictures any more? The Advertising Manager further clarified the role of the efficient executive through proper dele- gation of authority. But there were some things that he alone could do, and part way through the year he left a bachelors life at Mory's for home- cooked meals. WILLIAM R. JAEGER Publications Director Even mztuex .mrrumb. As was commented above, another person who left was the Treasurer, but he and his book returned, as did Friday visiting hours for women. Numerous Yale organizations and New Haven merchants will attest to his efficiency, and it is rumored that bill collecting agencies are bidding for his services. Shepherding the phone book through all of its alterations was the Publications Director. For those who doubted the resistance of the phone book to liquor, he performed many carefully un- controlled experiments, and what remains of the Banner statue is finally convinced. Aiding and abeting the above mentioned at every turn was his roommate, the Secretary of the organization. Fortunately, his record-keeping was limited to only ofiicial Banner functions. As circulation moved steadily upwards on its inelastic curve, the Circulation Manager made voluminous plans for greater efhciency. He was found to be quite personable although he tended to bet on the adding machine. Representing the Southern gentlemanly tradi- tion so long associated with the Banner was the Associate Editor. He vociferously led the eat more frequently at Moryls'! faction. There were changes, but two time-honored tm- ditions remained constante-the victory in the Bladderball game and the sanctity of the Banner Gargoyle room. MICHAEL J.

All those People are members of the Nam. They are smil- ing at each other, for this is the best Fraternity on Fraternity Row. This is James Haller Hyde Ottaway, In, the Chairman of the New. He is petulant because he would like to go to Vassar this Weekend, but his Wife has moved to New Haven. He is out raged because he has just paid Seventeen Cents to sneak out the Wrong Door of the Co-op. He will write a Blistering Editorial against Bureau- cratic Tariffs and Overcommitment. Maybe he will not write a Blistering Editorial. Last week he wrote one in which he suggested that the Uni- versity prohibit Pedestrians on Elm Street. Now the Administration has laid minefields down both sidewalks and has set up pill-boxes containing Campus Policemen armed with Electric Mega- phones and Machine Guns. In the Future the Chairman will be less careless of his Power. This is Al Pergam. He is the Managing Edi- tor, and he believes in the Efficient Delegation of Responsibility. But the Assignment Editor has had his nose twisted by Dean Acheson, who thought he was turning up a fioor lamp at a Secret Emergency Corporation Meeting, and Al has had to come over to the News. These are Heelers. They are Writing the Story on Faculty Reactions. At Midnight they will start phoning Faculty Members. One Department Head will be awakened by a Heeler who will mispro- nounce his name. The Professofs Comments will be published in full tomorrow along with :1 Pic- ture. The Professor will endure much from his Peers during the next week. This Red-Faced Youth is an Indignant Sub- scriber. He wants to see the Feature Editor. He wants to horsewhip him; the horse is waiting downstairs. The Feature Editor writes under the Sobriquet of Gordon Chamberlain but his real name is Gideon Gordon. He is hiding in his beard. That thumping sound is being made by Jona- than Seagle. He is beating his Breast.

The Dapper Young Man is Henri Fraise. He is Business Manager and has Scads of Money. All Business Editors have Scads of Money. The Edi- torial Writers only have one Scad apiece. This Smiling Bostonian is Carl Jacobson. He has come in on behalf of his Employer, Ralphie Shoehorn. Let us pity poor Ralphie. He only got his Name in Todayis Issue thirteen times. But do not worry. That is only Monrover Price. He has come over to the News for Passport Pictures; Tomorrow he departs for Hartford to promote his Marble Inter- ests. Before leaving on his Perilous Assignment, he will write a Victory Song to use in winning the Bladdetball Game. The Song will contain fourteen Double; Enlendrey, three of which will be in Dialect Spanish. That is why Jack Herrera is sniggering. But soon Jack will stop giggling, because Someone will tell him that there are No Business Heelers. This is Bill Borders. He is a Father Image to the Heelers and they call him Mommy, A Heeler has just told Bill that he wants to Quit, and Bill is helping him with his homework. Soon Bill will go upstairs to post a Rude Rebuke to an Editor who Docked a Heeler for Burning Down the Men's Room. The man yelling is Francis Donahue. He has just discovered twelve Free Ads in the U-Notes. He suspects the ECOis of Taking Payola. He is explaining that he is sorry about leaving only seven Editorial Inches on the Inside Pages. The Next Man is John Pepper, who is preparing an eight-page Supplement on the Moral Qualities of N ewx Advertisers, so tomorrow there will only be four inches of Inside Space. This is the Editorial Page. The Large Section called Aw Scismm Aztt Nullm, is a Joke the Chairman learned in an HAL Seminar. This month the Chairman is running the Yale Cata- logue of 1933 in Daily Installments. Next month the Vice-Chairman will begin an anthology of Erotic Passages from Banned Books. These are News Columnists. They have come over to complain about Misprints. One is a Music Critic. In his last Review he did not even men- tion Music. The second Reviews Plays. He is happy because three Directors, two Composers, and a Script Girl have given Interviews to the New; in which they called him Vulgar Names. He knows he is a Success. Another Columnist writes on Books. He is eager to refute the Charges IVlJa deflowered the News? that he is going to review a Novel. He will not write such a Review until he has published his own Novel. That is not a Ham Sandwich in the corner. It is Bob Donnelly, the Assignment Editor. He is In Disguise. Under one arm he has the Plans for the New Colleges. Under the other he has the Scale Models. Under the other he has the Archi- tect. Bob will lead a Brigade of Determined Edi- tors and Eager Heelers in a Superhuman Cam- paign to put out a Special Supplement on the New Colleges, to be published the day of the Ground-Breaking. The day the Supplement ap- pears the Ground-Breaking will be postponed for two years. This is an Upset Editor who has just returned from Moryis. He is Upset because in the course of his Table-Hopping he met the Entire Business Board enjoying Mutual Revelry and Spending like Drunkened Sailors. Since a company of Drunken Sailors headed by Sea-Scribes Moss, Martin, Du- gan, et. 211., were spending like the Business Board at a nearby table, the comparison was easy. These scraps are the remains of this week's National Review. They have been torn and scat- tered by Neil Herring, who misunderstood the meaning of the term liRedlining. If the Chair- man is good, Neil will send him some Gift Sub- scriptions to Various Progressive Periodicals and we can all get on the Attorney Generalls List. The Managing Editor is looking worried. He has so many Erratum Boxes in Tomorrowis Issue 234 that there is No Room for a Story on the Disso- lution of the College System. Well, I cant print Everything, he says with the solemn dignity of a Stoic. Those noises from downstairs mean that Al Leisenring has just high-jumped the partition in the Business thce. Do not worry, for he has landed in a heap of unread student poll results, left in the OBice by Jim Linen during his last visit. Al has bounded because a heeler has just given him a Riot Story written in New-Yorker style L . .

This List of Words belongs to the Chairman. It includes Synthesis, iiDichotomy, llHubrisf mWeltanschauung, and ilNeo-Platonic. The Chairman and the Feature Editor are competing to see how many of these words they can get into a Single Article. This is the Great Bladderball. It is Big and Heavy and Dirty enough to make an Indelible Impression on a Recordzic without permanently disabilitating him. The New: Invented Bladder- ball and has never Lost a Game. Each Fall the New; allows three Unsightly Undergraduate Groups to frolic around the Great Bladderball for a few minutes. This is a Photographic Heeler. He has just come back from 3. Lecture with a Fine Photo of George V. Kerjabagianls Ear. Paul Eckrich is con- gratulating him on the Dramatic Black Shadows. They will print the Photograph out of Focus and Backwards, but it will not matter, for the Pic- ture will be Miscaptioned. Here is Bill Martin, the Sports Editor. Does he not look damp? He has just come back from the Gym. He did not know that every decimal point in his Swimming Article this morning was :92 a m Mir xi4: mexi- misplaced. He has been discussing it With the Swimming Team. Now he is Mad as a Wet Hen and as Wet as a Mad One. Sandy Dugan is try- ing to soothe him. They must Figure Out how to call an article on Skin-Diving Down the Field. Here is the Business Manager again. He has just learned that the Entire Madagascar Parlia- ment has accepted his Invitation to High Tea. He is seeking Advice from the Chairman, who has just fled the Building. Soon the Business Man- ager will flee the Building and will fly to North- hampton for the Weekend. This is the ECO. The Paste-Up Man has cut twelve Lines from an Article on Yule going C0- Educational in order to Scribble In a Ribald Quote from Catullus, the Night Editor and the Head- Setter are playing Scrabble with the Ultra Bodoni Type, and the Room is Awash with Coffee Break- ers, he is Remaining Calm. In fact he has Passed Out. The Lad with all the Rope is Yogi Jensen. He has just returned from Mount Rainier to see how the Circulation and Subscription Drive went. Now he must go learn his lines for the next Elec- tion of Business Heelers. Here comes an Urbane Heeler. He is bringing his Big Story to the Copy Editor. It is a Good Thing the Copy Editor went home at Eight O'Clock, for he might be Surprised by the Story. It is written in the Style of Cholly Knickerbocker. L . .

At first they will be Discreet; they will run Ads on only half the Front Page. The Hop Half. The Managing Editor is doing the Make-Up. He is assigning thirteen inches to a preview of Tomorrow's History 10 Lecture and a three inch Box to an account of the Accidental Demolition of the Library by the New Haven Redevelopment Commission Forces. The Front Page may read a little funny but it will surely be Symmetrical. Four pages back there is a Photograph of a large Group of handsome, intelligent, prosperous youths. This is the 1960 Newer Board when it first took office. Below see these same Moguls after their Year of Responsible Service to the Commu- nity.

In the last two years the Dramat has begun to approach this ideal. The strength of the Association is apparent in the qual- ity of its productions. During our first two years in the Dramat it was a fact that the energies and talents of the organization were being exploited by a select few. Dominated by an elite, the Association had fallen apart into several professional groups. Such pat dichotomies as 'the actor and the technician and the Board and the bored dominated the think- ing of everyone. It seemed that the so-called llDramat spirit was a relic of the past. Unity of purpose has been achieved largely through 21 general change of attitude, yet the specific measures that were effected d0 define this new attitude. The desire for a more responsible Association inspired a revision of the constitu- tion, which now emphasized that the ultimate power of the organization rested with the Asso- ciation. Board meetings were opened to interested Association members, and the minutes of these board meetings were posted. Association meetings were held more frequently. The Association sim- plified heeling requirements and adopted :1 re- quirement of weekly work from every member. And certainly the most important change was to grant the choice of play to the Association. The purpose of these measures was to involve the members of the Association in all aspects of theatre, not only in a specific area of the produc- tion but in the whole administrative structure of the Dramat. It was hoped that the organization could work 215 a unit toward the final production so that distinctions between actors and technicians would lose their divisive tendencies. In order to produce all but the most limited of productions, the Dramat needs a strong Association. It needs not only a competent group of people on the board, but a great deal of talent in every field. The board has retained the power necessary for efficiency and expediency, but it has tried to find and to create enthusiasm at every level. The Dramat is necessarily an undergraduate and not a professional organization, but it can imbue its productions with that youthful imagination and excitement which can only come from the Asso- ciation. The productions of the last two years give strong evidence of the Vitality of the Dtamat. The class of 1960 assumed control of the Associ- ation four months early because of the evapora- tion of the previous class and was immediately faced with a critical shortage of funds. But our assets included a solid group of competent sopho- mores and juniors and a brilliant young director, who was more than willing to work for and with us. It is a tribute to this group that they have managed success in every sense of the word. For its fall production of 1958, the Associa- tion chose Danton's Death, written in 1835 by Georg Buechner, a selection inspired by the de- site to present a classic, as well as the need to involve as many members as possible in the pro- duction. Despite the siZe of the cast, the produc- tion achieved a sense of individuals inextricably tangled in the chaos of a great upheaval. A stark physical production brought the harsh, elemental nature of the conflict in which the protagonists, Danton and Robespierte, were locked. For the winter production the Association turned its energies to a famous comedy, Nikolai Gogol's The Inspector General, a witty satire of government which probes the corruption and T198 I mpeclor General Tlae Impertor General confusion of a typical provincial bureaucracy. As with HDantonis Death, The Inspector Genetalii required the support of the entire Association be- cause the strength of the play lies in the wealth of its many characters. There was suHicient inter- est to build a lavish set, which had to be changed every night and even completely disassembled dur- ing the middle of the run. In short, the produc- tion showed that the Dramat could draw success- fully on its artistic and technical resources to stage a full production show. The Association continued with its tradition of the Undergraduate Festival of the Dramatic Arts, despite the fact that circumstances limited its scope to the Dramat and ten women's col- leges. The Festival brings little glory to the Dramat, for it is largely a matter of administra- tion on our part, but it does give undergraduates the opportunity to view a wide cross-section of college theatre. To any person involved in under- graduate theatre, the Festival offers a chance to see both the worst and the best in college theatre in the space of three days. G rand Tom- In the spring of 1959, the Association pro- duced uGrand Tour, an original musical written by Richard Maltby and David Shire. This musical was probably the most successful in the history of the Dramat, for it charmed audiences with its scope and originality. The production achieved that rarity among college musicals, an integration of all the elements that go to make up a musical. Yet a discussion of its artistic merits does not bring out the point that the spirit of the Asso- ciation gave the production a lilt and exuberance that engaged the audience, demanding they for- get that T'Grand Touf, was, after all, a college musical. Even to the hardened critic, the produc- tion displayed the results of youthful determina- tion and imagination. In the fall of 1959 the Association turned to Shakespeare and Julius Caesar. The play is a stand-by of high schools and colleges, but the Dramat was able to bring freshness and immedi- acy to its production by concentrating on the words of the play. At a special performance for 246 high school students in the New Haven area, a large audience, two thirds of whom had never been to the theatre before, sat absorbed in the play for two and one-half hours. The 1960 winter production was Samuel Bec- kettis i'Waiting for Godot. This play has pro- voked 21 great range of response wherever it has played because it supplies no meat answers; rather it expresses :1 perennial search for meaning and for value. The many interpretations that have been raised are almost without exception partial Views which ignore the fact that the essence of the play is its dramatic qualities. Whether or not this traditional and demanding play would sell was a much debated issue. It seems that good theatre will sell itself. The recurrent desire to tour a show led to the production of Christopher Fry's TA Sleep 0f Pris- oners. This venture ran into the problem of trying to present dramatic works in the chancel of churches, but With a minimal production scheme, the play was successfully presented in churches throughout Connecticut. A tour of this nature gave Dramat members the chance to travel extensively with a production. The play did not have to be rehearsed and given within the space of four weeks as most Dramat productions must be; there was sufficient time to continually refine and improve the production. Since churches are non-union houses, members of the Dmmat were able to do all the running of the show. In the last two years the director has instituted an actorls workshop. The workshop gives aspiring actors an opportunity to work in an informal setting, and it also gives them a chance to act other than in the major productions. The contri- bution of this workshop to Dramat productions has been great. But it is worthless to dwell too long on the past, for a new opening night is always fast ap' preaching. Accomplishments in the theatre tend to be as transitory as last night's audience, and certainly we have played out our three acts; but we hope that our love for the theatreewhether we have expressed it on the stage, behind the scenes, or at the back of the house will prove 21 lasting inspiration. julim C clam. x?

ITH reverent acknowledgment to a distinc- tive heritage dating to 1894, and to the reputation of being the tinest college scientific magazine, the 1960 board of the Yale Scientzjic Magazine asserted its responsibility with a con- stitutional revision and refined format. Upholding its policy of printing significant articles of science professionally written, the Yale Scientzjtc presented during the year such ar- ticles as: from Yale, uPhysics 0f the Living Cell, by Professor Pollard, and IIThe Heavy-Ion Accel- erator, by Professor Berlinger; from industry, ISilicones and The Free-Piston Engine; from government, uAtomic Energy for Food and Agri- culture and IIPhysiological Problems of Subma- rine and Space Medicine. In March the Scienti- IQI presented a special issue devoted to mental health, approaching the problem from physiologi- cal, psychological, and social viewpoints. Perhaps the most important function of the Scientzfc is the promotion of undergraduate in- 248 terest in science at Yale. A substantial number of the articles were written by Yale professors concerning projects currently under development in the science departments. In the January issue Chairman Jim Ervin outlined the approaching crisis of science at Yale and stressed the urgent need for increased laboratory space and classroom facilities and for more professorships. In conjunc- tion With the Yale Engineering Association, the magazine sponsored its fourth annual science essay contest awarding three priZes totaling one hun- dred dollars. With the cooperation of the graphic arts department three cover designs depicting topics in science were submitted for monthly com- petition. The Scientific, as permanent secretary of the Eastern Collegiate Science Conference, con- tributed to the efforts of this organization to recognize the scientific achievements of eastern college students. Communication with the advis- ory board of the Yale Scientmc composed of professors from twelve Yale science departments was maintained, an important liaison between students and faculty in matters scientific. Many contributed to the work of the Scientiat. As Chairman of the 1960 Board, Jim Ervin in- tegrated his past experience in the circulation department with his general knowledge of pub- lishing policy and procedure to press the board successfully toward its long-range goals. Mike Gold, as Managing Editor, was the able coordinator of the work of the various editorial departments for each issue. The enthusiasm une derlying the efficiency with which he organized make-up hours was responsible for attractive layout and punctual publication, which we are told has been in years past a rate and wondrous occurrence. Business Manager Don Segal was the watchful entrepreneur who competently handled the finan- cial operations of the magazine. There was never a bill which went unpaid come the end of a fiscal month-eand fiscal months ended every two weeks. Marc Dresden, as Vice-Chairman, performed admirable work as liaison with the Yale Engineer- ing Association. He wrote the YEA Newsletter each month and, as the board member responsi- ble for heeling competitions, worked closely with the Public Relations Department in publicizing heeler orientation meetings. Moguls camemplnte 9:1 ad-copy ratio The necessary but often tedious task of circula- tion was supervised with new efficiency by Morris Fisher. With the inheritance of a new filing sys- tem initiated by the 1959 board, Morris was able to coordinate magazine circulation with the Pro- duction Department, headed by Andy Huber, at the same time minimizing misplaced subscriptions. The magazine was sent to fifty states and twenty- two foreign countries. The addition this year of several hundred new subscribers was a rewarding achievement. The Features Department under the editorship of Worth Auxier provided the magazine with an informative Yale Scene column, a number of reviews on newly released scientific books, a iiSci- ence Quiz with a noticeable decrease in inco- herent answers, and iiOutlook. Outlook is a new feature of the Scientihc which replaces and expands the former uRecent Developments col- umn. It contains not only news of recent scientific and technilogical developments, but also editor- ials and short essays on new theories and inter- pretations. As Articles Editor, Bruce McCaul engaged in diplomatic adventure in cajoling the harried aca- demic to present his work. The dilemma of de- mands for nrst-class articles and for articles on time was resolved frequently enough to give the magazine on the whole excellent content.

WILKINSON Secremry DAVID N. COHEN Tr'ezmtrer CARL JACOBSON Pllblicz'ly Director N a whirlpool of rumors that the Yale Film Society had been founded in 1846 in the hope that Edison would come up with something Really Worthwhile, the Yale Film Society was founded in the fall of 1958. It took about a week to create the thing. Its purposes were obscurely defined, and Ralph saw that it was good. Basically 21 reactionary group, the charter mem- bers observed that other Yale student organiza- tions were make-believe democracies, and they de- cided that the Film Society would play monarchy for a change. Ralph Hirshorn was elected king because he seemed to have the most thorough and the most sympathetic understanding of Machia- velli. He made a good king. He even went so far as to develop delusions of grandeur in order perfectly to fulfill his r61e, and the motto of the Film Society became nobletszte oblige. The New Haven theaters had taken seriously the movies-ate-better-than-ever business and had concluded that the masterpieces of the past, in- ferior by slogan, should be left alone and allowed to seek out their own proper niches in oblivion. The Film Society, on the other hand, thought that the old films should be given at least one more viewing before their flames of life ceased flicker- ing. High Noon, Garligfyt, Citizen Kane, and countless other such undoubted milestones in 151111- making history were brought to 101 Linsley- Chittenden at :1 moderate cost to patrons. In the summer of 1959 the Film Society pro- duced its own movie, The End Of Summer. largely to expend some unseemly profits which all year long had been embarrassing the non-ptoflt making Society. The film was a humorous, satiri- cal, whimsical, surrealistic farce, unique of its kind. It was warmly applauded by Yale audien- ces and much loved of the king and his court. Until the Society's second film is produced, says Ralph, he will continue to think of The End of Summer as his only begotten flick. The best thing happened. to the Yale Film Society in the early days of 1960. The End of The IVmIetle: Alwyn 4v good at :1 Ralplyiel' Smnmer was awarded first prize in the Screen Producers' Guild Inter-Collegiate Film Contest. Ralph Rex, humility and all, was flown to Cali- fornia to receive the award. Ralph and the movie and doubtless the Film Society gained national notoriety because at the awards banquet Eva Marie Saint swore. In two short years, the Yale Film Society has grown from something nonexistent to something real and big. Many wonder how long it will last and what it will do next, but the Society mem- bers are certain it will last for at least a century. And it doesnt really make much difference what it does next.

Dick Smith revealed depths of genius unprecedented in the annals of the Network. Adam Dibbell, as always, burned with a celestial flame. The whole worked, as never before, like a well-oiled machine: each member knew his task, every paper clip was in its pre- scribed place. Did Princeton miss thirty-live spots? Ivy was equal to the occasion. Did checks bounce? Did Harvard demand Winston ET's in heroic couplets? Ivy smiled stoically and forged ahead. But to the leaders must go most substantial ap- plause.

WILLIAM LOFTUS Advertijing 1Mmzzzger IVE times a year the incredulous cry goes up: What do you know, Ivy! God, I thought they'd gone out of business long ago. Far from going out of business Ivy proved for another year that potential, a small, dedicated stan, and per- severance can turn a novel idea into an exciting and rewarding experience. Articles ranging from an eyewitness report of the Cuban revolution, to a critique of the present state of creative writing on the college level, to a comprehensive sports feature on Skiing, to a tasteful photographic View of the Eastern womenis colleges best-of-show demonstrate the diversity of subject matter which Ivy has sought to include. But Ivy went far beyond the bounds of simply working to have a magazine appear on schedule, increasing its field of activity as far as possible. 254 For the second consecutive year Ivy, in conjunc- tion with Pan American Airways, has sponsored the Ivy Fellowship for European Travel. This year's Ivy Fellow, Mike Doyle of Yale, made an exciting three month tour abroad. One major undertaking was the Ivy-Eyqzzz're Short Story Contest. Nearly 200 undergraduates from more than forty colleges competed for one thousand dollars in cash prizes. Their stories were judged by four of the most notable contemporary literary critics: Thornton Wilder, Russell Lynes, Louis Untermeyer, and Richard Blackmur. The annual Ivy Ball was held this year at the Hotel New Yorker during the Thanksgiving holis day. Featuring an array of talent including the Ralph Marterie band, the Yale Russian Chorus, and the Talbot Brothers, the affair was again a solid success, filling three ballrooms. A special Ivy Ball supplement doubled as a program at the dance. It is the hope of the retiring board that Ivy will continue to strive to fulfill its tremendous potential.

Today's renewed emphasis on academic achievement has taken its toll of Yaleys finest and oldest extra-curicular activities. It has not, however, cut too deeply into organized de- bating. As in the past, the forensic arts of think- ing on your feet, clashing with the arguments of the opposition and establishing a rapport with the audience are today recognized as valuable instru- ments in anyoneIs education. During this school year the Yale Debating Society has been able to perpetuate these tradi- tional values with another full program of de- bates. In October Louis Tharp, Donald Tinder and Elliot Lichtman opened the season in Ithaca with a 3-0 Victory over Cornell. Another team composed of John Davies, John Howe, and Bruce Abel travelled to Princeton in November to ad- minister what has now become a traditional Vic- tory over Princeton in the annual humorous de- bate. This year the Princeton jesters succumbed on the topic, Resolved: that this house deplores creeping co-educationalism. In December Yale played host to a Visiting team from Cambridge University in the annual British-American debate. Prior to their encounter at Yale the Cambridge team had been undefeated in thirty-seven debates with other American col- leges. A Yale team consisting of Peter Seed and Mark Zacher was able to upset that record with a 2-1 decision. The topic was I'Resolved: that this house deplores the decline in strength of parental authority in the United States. Yale took the negative side. In tournament debating this fall Howard Kas- low and Roger Merrick represented Yale in an exhibition debate at Wesleyan. Later in December Kaslow and Merrick, with Joseph Glass and Lance Liebman acting as the alternate team, en- tered the NYU tournament and won five debates out of eight. Also scheduled for the year are debates with Columbia, Brown and Pennsylvania. Finally, in May, Yale, Harvard and Princeton will hold their annual Triangular Debate. The ofhcers were Peter Seed, President; How- ard Kaslow, Vice-President; John Davies, Mem- ber-too-large; and Roger Merrick, Secretary. POLITICAL UNION Back RoweButterworth, Sterling, Kucera, Seidman, Feldman tPresidenO, Collinson, Lemon. 1959 was a good year for the Union. Pres- dent Robert Feldman assembled a well-rounded and exciting program while Viceepresident Dale Collinson instituted many improvements in the debate procedure and organiZational structure. One of the major Changes made in 1959 was the introduction of an open question period. This allowed direct questions to be asked of any speaker in the debate as well as the guest key- note speaker. Mr. Arthur Howe, JL, Yale's Director of Admissions, keynoted a debate on the topic uResolved: This house believes that the Federal government should guarantee higher education to all qualified high school graduates. The next Union debate was on the question of granting governmental recognition to Red China. The mat- ter was hotly debated after a keynote address by John Vorys, former M. C. from Ohio. The Union was strongly opposed to recognizing Communist China as the final tally showed only six members dissenting. Professor Karl Deutsch of the Yale Political Science Department gave a brilliant and detailed 256 Fishert Hinish.

The Union voted down such a proposal largely because of the overpowering evidence presented in the debate showng such a solution to be useless and im- practicable. Russel J Weber, a member of the Party of the Right, delivered a fine speech in support of the traditional conservative stand on the question 'TResolved: This house believes that that govern- ment governs best which governs least. Weber was declared winner of the Matthysse-Plews Cup for the best main speech to be given in an all- freshman debate. Mr. George Alpert, president of the embattled New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad keynoted the annual Gardiner White Memorial Debate contest which determines the best speaker in the Union. The topic was HResolved: This house favors Federal subsidies to commuter rail- roads? Karl Ziebarth, of the Party of the Right, won the White prize as the Union rejected Mr. Alpert's alternative solutions to the problem of financing commuter lines and voted to pass the resolution. The full term got off to a good start largely due to the efforts of Michael Butterworth, secre- tary of the Union. Butterwortifs membership drive was well organized and executed, and as a result the Union retained its title as the largest undergraduate organization at Yale. H. Bradford Westerfield, Assistant Professor of Political Sci- ence and former Political Union Secretary ad- dressed the organizational meeting on the virtues of political activity and political knowledge. Debating started again on an exciting note as Dr. William Fellner, Sterling Professor of Eco- nomics, offered alternative income tax structures as the Union debated Resolved: This house favors the abolition of the progressive income tax. The grim spectre of an all-out nuclear war prompted the Union to debate T'Resolved: That continued nuclear bomb testing is essential to the national defense? Senator Stephen Young of Ohio pointed out the difficulties of mutual agree- ments on the subject, though generally hoping for an end to the bomb testing. The Union car- ried the resolution in a close vote which saw many members abstain. Herbert Brownell, former U. S. Attorney- General, spoke to a full house in a Union debate against outlawing the Communist Party in the United States because of the sufficiency of existing regulatory powers. The Political Union generally agreed with Mr. Brownell as the resolution was defeated by a two-to-one proportion of the votes. The national discussion started by President Griswoldis announced rejection of Federal loans made available under the National Defense Edu- cation Act of 1958 was the issue in the last Union H erbert B m wnell mam Bob Feldmau and Steve Young KD., Ohio'i debate in 1959. The problems were largely con- cerned with an old question: academic freedom. The result of the debate was that the Union up- held President Griswold's action by a scant three votes. Other Union activities throughout the year in- cluded informative and exceptionally enjoyable on-the-record discussion meetings with Adlai Stevenson, former Democratic presidential nomi- nee, Sir Harold Caccia, British ambassador to the U. 8., Edmund Muskie, United States Senator from Maine, and Sir Leslie Munro, former Presi- dent of the U. N. General Assembly. A speech by V. K. Krishna Menon, Indian delegate to the U. N., was sponsored by the Union as one of its many services to the Yale community. Other meetings of a non-debate format included speeches and discussions by Charles Porter, M. C. from Oregon, and John V. Lindsay, M. C. from New York. The Liberal Party, chaitmanned by Douglas Rosenthal, grew tremendously in total member- ship and effectiveness in debate. The Conserva- tive Party, led by Walter Franck, continued with its iirebuilding program and had a fme year. The Party of the Right continued to show its excel- lence in debate and party unity. Both James Hin- ish and Glenn Lemon, P. R. chairmen in 1959, should be credited with having done a fine job. iiRostrumf the Political Union magazine, showed new vitality under its chairman, Daniel Kucera, and its promise for the future is great. The Feldman administration was 21 successful one, but the job of the Political Union is never finished because there is a continuing stream of undergraduate minds to set thinking about poli- tics.

FUGAL, '61 HE Yale Band ended its season last year in a blaze of glory with its first European Tour. The German newspaper uDie Welt had this to say: iiWhoever came with the expectation of heat- ing just gifted students was taught a lesson: there played a highly polished, quality band with astonishing rhythmical assurance and exact into- nation. Without exception, the young musicians played with original musicality and untroubled ingenuousness. June 10th, 1959 found the group in London embarking on 21 strenuous schedule of concerts Evening Concert in Municipal Park at Ltzmmme, Szz'ilzw'lmzd Conductor AJJthant C 0ndmtor Preyident Manager Publirity Manager Drum Major that took us through England, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, and France in six short weeks. The schedule for England was typical of the variety of the Band's programs: a woodwind ensemble concert at Lady Margaret Hall College at Oxford, a recording session at BBC studios just outside London, and a television show on ITV. From England we sailed around the Hook of Holland, and thence to Bremen. There and in the rest of Europe the people went out of their way to make us feel at home. Highlights of the Conti- nental part of the tour included the incredibly enthusiastic audience in Hamburg; a five-day stop- over on Gtogingen, Holland, where we helped the university celebrate their 65th Lustrum; play- ing, sightseeing, traveling, and plain loafing on the lakes and mountain sides of Switzerland; sail- ing down the scenic Rhine; ten days in Paris, during which we played at UNESCO, at a re- ception given us by the Yale Club of Paris, and at Le Pius Grand Bal du Monde ta four-day Bastille Day partyy A concert band is a novelty in Europe so the number of different instruments in the Band as well as the variety of its repertoire were a real surprise to every audience on the tour. The beginning of classes in the fall meant work for Football Band Director Dave Sweetkind and Drum Major Jan Fugal, to say nothing of the 105 musicians. Many shov-planning sessions were held marching down the football practice field and, in the dark of night, in the smoke-fllled rooms at the top of Hendrie Hall. The most memorable performances were the Walk-Light Show spoofing New Havens traffic scheme t or to be more exact, anti-traffic conspiracyT and the Tobacco Show, in which the Band made two tre- mendous contributions to safe smoking: a ciga- rette with a filter on each end, and one shaped like a pretzel tto confuse even a thinking tart. The Pops Band wasn't idle this fall, either: on October 30 the annual Pops Concert was pre- sented to a full house in Woolsey Hall. The fea- ture of the night was Harold Rome, ,29, playing and singing his own songs. The ever-popular Alumni Banjo Club completed the bill on this benefit show for the scholarship fund of the New Haven Yale Club. The Pops Band was also on hand at Smith October 15 to play for the in- auguration of its new president, Mr. Menden- hall. At the end of the football season the Band swiftly reorganized and came up with the Concert Band, the Varsity Band, the Brass Choir, and sev- eral Woodwind Ensembles. The Concert Bandts season got off to a good start with a Rotary Club- sponsored concert in West Springfield, Massachu- setts on December 4th. After vacation we went to Bristol, Connecticut at the request of the Bristol $19 am Comer! for Alumni of Uizizferrizy of Groningen, Holland Yale Club; there was a pause for exams, and on February 12th the Band gave its annual Winter Concert in a packed Woolsey Hall, featuring guest conductors from seven Eastern colleges. April 29th saw us in Westport, Connecticut as guests of the Fairfield County Alumni Associa- tion, and the next Sunday we gave a concert at the Hotchkiss School. The mud finally hardened on Cross Campus, and the grass sprouted, and on May 6th we gave the first of our traditional series of Twilight Con- certs, followed by others on May 10th and 13th. Commencement Day dawned as usual with the Band on hand to pipe the Seniors into history, after which every one went home, leaving the workmen to pack up the stage until next year. mm m: t 22 mm m M:- w?

YALE GLEE CLUB 11760 5109; not love wine, women, and Jong, Remm'm a fool bi; wbole life long. JOHANN HEINRICH Voss THE bigger guns of the 1958-59 Yale Glee Club having been pushed from the nest of senior year in June, Fenno Heath and the rem- nants of that Club were awaiting the results of the usual soul-searching tryouts with anticipation, and perhaps a measure of apprehension. Although no junket to foreign shores tor domestic, for that matteQ was foreseen for the coming summer, and no recording was in the ofhng, the previous club's efforts having been preserved for posterity and the public only four months earlier, the new club was by no means intending to hiberate in Hendrie Hall. The Midwest had already exhibited an eagerness to hear some Yale singing during Christmas vacation. The girls from New London were presumably already looking forward to spring, during which season, besides the usual springtime activities, a joint assault upon Verdits Reqniem 1144;; with Frank Brieff and the New Haven Symphony was planned. These two special programs were of course in addition to the usual ambitious local concert schedule, organized during 260 the spring and early fall by Manager Dick Lind- gren and his harried assistants Dick Anthony and Warren Hausman. And so, that Monday night in September when the upper echelons of Yale sing- ing posted the results of a week of scales and uSerenadeis, queries and quartets, the seventy- two chosen wondered what the year would bring. Assembling the following night at precisely 7:00 P.M. tnot 7:05 or 7:10, as Fenno was later to observey, they leafed through the new music hopefully. A few old favorites appearede'tDe Animals A-Comin', Ride the Chariot, and the 'T'ootball Medley. There were some familiar tunes Fenno had arranged over the summere He's Got the XWhole World in His Hands, and When Johnny Comes Marching Home? But there were some unfamiliar works too. What was to come of the strange Teutonic words of Oh Lieber Herre Gott, or the unfamiliar Latin 0f 70 Magnum Mysterium't and 'tDiffusa Est Gratia ? How was one to take Aaron Coplandts instructions to Stomp Your Foot ? Would they be able to say of uGeneral William Booth Enters Into Heaven, Fenno's latest adaptation of :1 Vachel Lindsay poem, I have never heard so musical :1 discord, such sweet thunder, as Shake- speare had said so many years ago on 21 rather different subject? Looking up, they saw the man himself, heard him hum a pitch, and with a mix- ture of awe and comradeship cleared their throats for the downbeat. From the rough chords of that first Tuesday rehearsal was distilled the 1959-60 Yale Glee Club, of whom the leading Cleveland music critic was later that year to say, If there is a finer group of male singers anywhere, I have not heard of it. Five weeks of practice brought the club to the point where a test could be made, and they headed for Avon Old Farms in a cold Octo- ber rain, their music in their hands, to be greeted with warm applause and the affectionate damp- ness of a Great Danes tongue. Then the bi- annual pilgrimage to Princeton, this time without their music, where the club surprised even itself with the quality of the sound sent out toward the dark wooden walls of Alexander Hall, and was surprised in turn by the quantity of sound re- turning to them from the hands of a predomi- nately Princeton audience. Back on home territory the following week, a similar triumph, this time over Harvard, was posted on their unofficial score- card, although the damp spectators at the Yale Bowl the next afternoon witnessed a contest with a decidedly different outcome. Two Friday night concerts at Groton and Wallingford saw steady improvement, and the latter was also the occasion of a get-together at Duncan Phype's house after the concert for some less formal singing, not a little beer, and a great variety of sandwiches. Some began to wonder if more improvement was possible, the limits of achievement having been pushed so high already. Yet the club was still working on new numbers, primarily a group of Christmas carols, including one in French, llThe Miracle of Saint Nicholas, and a lusty arrange- ment of Deck the Halls by Fenno. These were tested on a WNHC television program, and proved to be equivalent to the rest of the club's TIM Szmm Clam Quartet zz-ss- sa mxxgnxs-K, m-aua-axx xitg, mmuana m gram :8 . anew You 5117'? yalfre all rigbl? repertoire. The Christmas tour, however, proved that perfection was something which this group could not avoid. New York and a cheering Yale Club audience began it, with a reaction only slightly prejudiced by alumni loyalties. A split-second dash to track 34, almost before the applause had died down, proved successful for everyone, and Grand Cen- tral soon gave way to darkness and a twelve hour ride to Cleveland, their next stop. A restful night in the club car prepared the singers for a re- hearsal at Severance Hall the following morning, with Robert Shaw in slacks and sport jacket giv- ing his approval. A session of swimming, swiz- zling, and socking tennis balls at the Blossom Hangar, and further fortification at mansions throughout the city, also seemed to be good prepa- ration, for the audience that night as well as the papers the following morning definitely approved of the Yale Glee Club. Detroit, however, was waiting, and a very early train sped them on their way. That night the approving listeners at Par- cellls Auditorium were nearly forgotten amid the the orange splendors of a lllittle birthday party for Kris Glancy at the Detroit Country Club. At church the next morning, however, the impossi- bility of forgetting the Glancy party with mere aspirin was established without a doubt. At luncheon that afternoon, the clubs informal singing attracted the ear of the conductor of the Detroit Symphony, whose compliments in a de- lightful French accent were gratifying to receive. A rather different kind of conductor proved their host once again that evening as the New York Central sped them on their way. The annual Christmas party, with champagne, presents, a Santa Claus who delivered geese, lobsters, de- ceased vermin, and some spastic humor, and a 700513: rather surprising dummy who commented on the pleasures and after-effects of light refreshment, brought the club to Chicago in a definitely re- laxed state for :1 muCh-needed evening without 21 concert or party. Luncheon the next day was courtesy of the Yale Club of Chicago, where various football players described past history and future prospects in the athletic world. The Eighth Street Theater was conquered that night by the renewed vigors of the club, followed by a party resembling that of Detroit in everything but size. Red cabs the fol- lowing day were in great abundance, ferrying the singers from station to hotel, to dinner parties, to the concert hall, to the party afterwards and finally to bed as Indianapolis played host to the Glee Club for the first time in fifteen years. Happy birlleny, Kris. Finally, however, the singers headed for Milwau- kee, their last stop. Demolishing a stray automo- bile en route, they arrived at Brown Bottle nearly two hours late, with enough snow piled about to convince anyone that they were only thirty hours from Christmas. Schlitz gave way to the Pabst Theater, and Woodie's birthday was duly honored there by the club's performance. The next morn- ing, for many merely a change of clothes unac- companied by any time spent between the sheets, saw flights home to all parts of the country for Christmas and a needed rest. With vacation over, work began on Verdi, in- terrupted by exams and occasional out-of-town concerts. Fears about Winsted turned to confi- dence under John Stewartls capable directing in Fenno's absence, and Mount Vernon and Green- which passed without incident. April saw the seniors in New York, where they found the Glee Club Alumni a closely knit group with strong feelings for their alma mater. Later that month XVoolsey Hall was host to a thrilling emotional as well as musical experience in the Requiem, and the season closed enjoyably with the Vassar and Albertus Magnus choirs joining Yale for their final performances. The seniors, however, were not finished yet, and completed the year with per- formances at the Baccalaureate Service graduation Sunday morning, and at the Commencement Con- cert that night. Thus the 1959-60 Yale Glee Club passed into eternity, leaving behind only a soonudusty picture on the gray walls of Hendrie Hall. Yet the sing- ers will carry in their hearts the spirit of that club into the future, where one of them may one day look back to his days at Yale and say to him- self in the words of John Paul: Friendx I have bad both old mid yang. Am! 418 11'6 drank, and 507ng we 51mg? In Fermi! APOLLO GLEE CLUB Bate RoweResor, Overmyer, Stirlen, Hubby. Hopkins, Markus. Richelson, Lipsey, Fisher, Leonard, Woodward.

The clubs pre Christmas engagements con- sisted of a concert at Centenary College in Hac- kettstown, New Jersey, and a Christmas presen- tation in Timothy Dwight College, featuring Brahms Alto Rbapmdie. The Apollo was well re- ceived at both pre-season concerts. Following a refreshing Christmas holiday, the club resumed activity, its full schedule including municipal concerts at Rumson, New Jersey, and Mamaroneck, New York, and joint concerts with Pembroke, Mount Holyoke, and Briarcliff. The first of these appearances, the municipal concert in Rumson, featured Rollie Blondeau, who sang the tenor solo in Paul Thomas, uThe Riddle, an adaptation of the well-known Appalachian folk song. The second performance, a joint concert with Pembroke, was highlighted by a reading of Brahms Song of Destiny. This concert received unanimous acclaim and was hailed by the Provi- dence critics as a musical event of major signifi- cance. Joseph Haydrfs The Heaven: Are Telling was the featured work at the Apollds first joint concert with Briarcliff College. Included also on this program was Fenno Heatlfs moving arrange- ment of Somethize; I Feel Like a Mollyerlexx Child. Enthusiastic applause greeted the Apollo Club as it made its first, and overwhelmingly success- ful, appearance in Mamaroneck, New York. Es- pecially appreciated was the inspiring Crmifixm of Antonio Lotti. The long-awaited concert with Mount Holyoke in Dwight Hall arrived, surpassing most expec- tations, and to the singers, delight the Club was able to go to South Hadley for a repeat perform- ance of the Te Dezxm.

We cozzldnt! say no. The attraction was too great, the excitement over- whelming. Hugging our cohorts as we met them and drinking whatever was handed to us, we cele- brated as we had, never done before. We were Whiffenpoofs, iioff on a spree, and nothing else mattered. Some of us departed early, but always gracefully, on the shoulders of an unknown well- wisher or in the shrubs of Timothy Dwight Col- lege. But eventually, before the night had ended, all the Whiffenpoofs of 1960 were safely tucked away by their predecessors, blissfully unaware of the demanding tradition into which they had just been initiated. Our innocence was shortlived. As we arrived at the Mirror Lake Inn in Lake Placid, New York, on September 3rd, to spend two weeks preparing our repertoire for the coming fall, we were greeted by Robert Pitchpipe Lindgren plus 25 songs and the stern words of William Popo- 26 catapetal Weber: The Whiffenpoofs are the most important thing you have ever done at Yale! Breathless, often discouraged, and always tivery dry, we dashed for the LPI bar at 5:30 sharp, ordered equally dry martinis, and recapitu- lated the day's progress. That is, most of us had the ittoolii, spirit in our blood; David W. P. W. W. iiSasper Elliott had about a gallon of $2.60 Tavola wine in his. Rejuvenated by Freddy's suc- culent dinners we concluded the evening with a two hour rehearsal followed by Inez's late late Show, and an even later show at our unique accommodations in the Gray House. Our stay was not without its calamities. While ttProto Cole became infatuated with the Inrfs laboring classes, A Hall Marquardt adroitly reconstructed the ventilation system in his se- cluded quarters with one mighty sweep of his tennis toe. Not to be surpassed in athletic skills, iiLinger Longer cautiously waded into Mirror Lake and proceeded to immediately disappear be- low the surface for a two count, returning on the third to exclaim: This is not at all like swimming in the Atlantic! But not all was play. Imbued with a co-opera- tive spirit which had been building throughout the summer, we set about our task with vigor and enthusiasm. Once the laughter had died over the first you'll never know how sad it makes me, and the aw, aw, aws, we began composing our repertoire. Slowly the sound of the Whiffs of '60 was being born. It was a good feeling, and soon such songs as the World le' One Medley, English Muffls Somewhere Oz'er M79 Rambou', Beef's Gravzmile, Foucl Patel and llLinger's AIIIIIJIHZ, and llTopsy's unforgetable Aphroclile, became embedded in our minds; and now in retrospect, instilled in our hearts as well. Trolley night in Calhoun College provided us with our first opportunity to demonstrate before Yale undergraduates that we were equally as good as the Whiffs of years gone by. Three weeks later, though the varsity had lost to Dartmouth, Delta Kappa Epsilon called for three encores and cheered us on to an unforgetable football season. Ten days passed, and after a fleeting glance at Pennsylvania's fraternity row, we found ourselves in Princeton, New Jersey. Following an evening of vocal calisthenics in Dillon Gym we took to the gridiron on Green of 79 and proceeded to outdrink and outplay the Nassoons by a score of 24 t0 6. Before the smoke had cleared in Quad- rangle and Cap and Gown we were in the big middle of Harvard Weekend. But there was really no middle, just a beginning in Woolsey Hall on Friday night and an ending in Mr. Corrigaifs living room at four am. on Sunday morning. The football season ended as fast as it had be- gun. What we needed was a little Thanksgiving relaxation. Judge Beach, and all the folks in Bristol, Connecticut provided just that. Ay Laced Lmka was in constant demand throughout the evening, and you could hear a pin drop when HFoud Fareh rocked through Starlet Ribbom. Topsy was homesick by now, so he invited us all to Providence for a surprise Sunday birthday celebration. Granny provided the vitality and we provided the musicethat is, until four songsters, posing as the Buffalo Bills, crashed the party. And crash they did, treating us to fabulous bar- bershop harmony and precision singing. Their in- credible sound was still ringing in our ears as we departed from La Guardia Airport for Roch- ester, New York early in December. Rochester was a prelude to the fast approach- ing Christmas Tour with the Yale Glee Club. The central events of the weekend read like Daily News headlines: INFLAMED BY FEMALE COMPANION, DRIVER DEVASTATES VALLEY CLUB PARKING LOT WHIFFENPOOFS NARROXVLY SURVIVE FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH NEW YORK JET SET TWELVE YALE SENIORS HUN G AT SUN- DAY BRUNCH WOMANtS HEAD FOUND IN BAG ON CAPITOL AIRLINER Following Rochester, performances at Bridgeport University and Smith College enabled us to put finishing touches on our repertoire before we departed New Haven on December 17th for vacation engagements with the Glee Club. The Christmas Tour was similar to Harvard jammy One Note Weekend, no distinctive continuity, only a begin- ning at the New York Yale Club and an end in the Milwaukee Country Club. In between we performed separately and in conjunction with the Glee Club in Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, and Indianapolis. Each city will be remembered for its own particular highlights, such as the ltOne O'clock Show in Cleveland, Mr. Glancy's taste- ful party in Detroit, and in Indianapolis a slight renovation of Ay Lumen Lucky: to include llI-Iey Linger. Two themes were prevalent throughout the entire trip: Pitchpipelst, Christmas Medley and Beef's pyloric cocktail. 1960 was only three days old When we con- vened again at the Waldorf Astoria to entertain the Northwest Mutual Life Insurance Company. This was the beginning of the llreally big ones. In rapid succession during January and February we encountered the Wall Street Chapter of Kappa Beta Phi, the Bankers Trust and Armstrong Cork Company. We took a fleeting glance at New Yorles financial elite, paid our respects to Bob Crewe and paid our money to Trader Vics. As for the spring we can make reasonable pre- dictions about the highlights of coming events. New additions to our repertoire will include Lazy Afternoon, Smmnertime, Bermmlzz Baggy Ride, Mozmtain Greenery, Slyz'p Without a Sail, johnny One N019, and Daddy 1'; a Yale Alan. As a future member of the ministry we can be sure that Purplish of llP Will be extremely capable of identifying the sources of human suffering and degradation. Two days in Philadelphia will prove to be the ultimate in hospitality. Nine days in Bermuda will be a litle bit of heaven, Compre- hensive examinations immediately afterwards will be a little bit of Hell. No academic casualties will be recorded, however, and after an invigorating evening at the 21 Club, the year will conclude You'd Be So Nice To Come Home TON with memorable concerts on college and frater- nity weekends and a May engagement in Minne- apolis, Minnesota. The most nostalgic concerts, however, for by then nostalgia will have set in, will be our coup de grace in Woolsey Hall and at the Senior Prom during the week of graduation. Our record will, for a change, be released early in May, and Will represent the culmination of many cheerful hours spent in the auditorium of the Sterling Library. Much to our dismay, even Cyls My mey Valentine, will be recorded without the slightest rythmical flaw. Plans for the future include June concerts in colorful cities throughout the United States and a possible four week engagement in Hawaii during the month of September. As these predictions come to pass, we will be able to enhance our collection of memories. But I wonder if we all realize how much we already have to remember: Mory's on Saturday afternoons and Monday nights, Popois familiar shrimp count and that crucial distinction between pea and onion soup. Lingerlsil cozy after hours cocktail lounge in Jonathan Edwards College. That grand family of songs which grew to maturity during hours of recording sessions: Daddy, his wife, Mildred Maud, and all the kids, Delia, Jack, Miss Otis and Johnny. Those punctual rehearsals in Hendrie Hall in which we tolerated Sasperls arias and Two Car Gs gum and cigarettes. And oh those judicial business meetings, and Pope's usual concluding comment; uIs it impossible to transport this group in less than live cars? As the end of the year approaches some of us may already be developing a small lump in our throat at the prospect of passing and being forgotten with all the rest. Now as I conclude this chronicle I would like to express a few thoughts which I hope are com- mon to all twelve of us. Certainly, not one of us will forget the events which made our senior year so much richer and fuller. Nor will we forget the variety of personalities with whom we became associated, and from whom many of us gained a better perspective of ourselves. Perhaps a few years from now all of us will be able to honestly agree with llPopo, that the Whiffenpoofs were the most important thing we ever did at Yale. But we are forced to contend with the present situation, and probably Andrew Marvell, if we may distort him just a little, best expresses our thoughts at this moment: uHad we but world enough and time, This singing, gentlemen, were no crime?

On the top T deck the large group of passengers reclined on their deck chairs, closed their eyes and relaxed in the quiet anticipation of the pleasant voyage ahead. Suddenly a shapely young lass leaped from her chair and streaked into the small cabin-like structure which housed the snack bar. Probably has the fiuf remarked an elderly gentleman. Meanwhile the girl was elbowing her way through the melee 0f coEee-sipping passengers and, aided by her keen hearing apparatus, homing on the most beautiful sound she had ever heard. A small contingent of the Alley Cats were bright- ening the day for those fortunate few who sur- vived the rush to the snack bar. The Alley Cats of 1959-60 had concluded their pre-season training and were launching another campaign of fun and entertainment for people of all ages. So it was back to Yale for the usual fall ac- 267 tivity. Each week-end found the Alley Cats em- barassing new crowds, at Yale and surrounding institutions. At UConn sultry co-eds sat with glazed eyes and listened to T'Foggy', Urmston croon For All We Know. At the Bedford Junior League Ball, the female members of the crunchy gravel set fought to tear the clothes from Walker as he screamed Love Me Tender. At Princeton Wedlocks date accused him of mentally seducing the fiancee of Coloniafs president, Throckmorton Blackorange. The winter came, and the Alley Cats spawned seven freshman kittens. Chaos reigned. Amenta,s love life was out of control. Michie missed re- hearsals because he had an hour test the next month. Finally spring vacations drew near. The group that prepared to entrance the guests at Ponte Vedra, Ormond Beach and Ft. Lauder- dale was the best the Alley Cats had ever seen. In the Deke house a vivacious creature removed her date's hand from her knee and dreamily whis- pered the three little words we all love to hear. 'Aren't they adorable.

AUGMENTED SEVEN UR last chapter of The Life and Time; of the Azzgmenled Seven petered out with spring vacation at Webber College in Babson Park, Florida. After digging out from the rubble of three-point-two beer cans, the group returned to New Haven, wasted the rest of the spring and sang for various school audiences, including Wells and Hunter Colleges. A mammoth College Weekend party climaxed twelve dissipated months. Then Pete Miller and departing musical director Bob Walsh ran off to matrimony, poor boys. The guys spread out wide during the summer, from Africa to Mexico to Quantico to Texas, and regrouped in the fall yet one more time. With Jeanne Miller supervising, the post-football game gatherings insulated the A7 for the eve- nings, concerts. Pete Miller repeated last year's performance With a fine pass Dartmouth Weekend. Led by director Skip Koff, the foray to Penn fraternities bagged a victory for Yale singing, and Pete Wose brought down the houseeTylet House-with his 268 fat-out sounds at Toto's. Guitarist extraordinaire Sandy Carney enlisted to intrigue calypso fans with his electric instrument, after which the Late Show, blind send-off for Christmas vacation rest, erupted again in Whitey Vealds room. After the t'holidays, the group continued its enjoyable custom of singing for dinners every Thursday at the Hofbrau Haus. When exams were over, the A7 picked up the pieces, added some new ones from the freshman class, and split for Hartford to Win the Rotary Clubis Song Festival. And it came to pass, in those days, that they should return even unto Rollins College. But 1960's trip was bigger still, with two girl-laden days in Atlanta; the Agnes Scott College and Emory University concerts brought snow to the sunny south.

BACHELORS HAT can be said about a singing group which, in five short years, has been trans- formed from an obscure group of singers from one residential college, into a university-wide aggregation which occupies a firm and prominent posmon among Slnging groups on a campus Where such groups abound? What makes the Bachelors tthe youngest singing group at Yaley, one of the first singing groups of Yale? Those who have been members of the Bache- lorsi vast and widespread audiences attribute this excellence to many and varied factors. The fresh and modern sound of the arrangements in the repertoire, the vitality which the members of the group bring to every performance, and the pro- fessional caliber of these performances account. in a large measure, for the Bachelors' popularity. XVhiie these elements of the Bachelors group personality are immediately apparent to anyone who had heard them perform, there is another facet of this personality which is equally impor- tant to the members of the group themselves, and which is more readily evident to them than 269 it is to the audience. This characteristic, which is somewhat unique to the Bachelors, can be attributed solely to the enjoyment and satisfac- tion of singing for its own sake. The enthusiasm of the members illustrates the fact that being a Bachelor means more than simply engaging in an activity. While they de- rive a great sense of satisfaction from watching the group develop under their hands and know- ing that as a group, they are maintaining their prominent position among singing groups, they realize as well, that the experience of being a Bachelor is having its own beneficial effect on them. Although this combination of satisfaction and enjoyment is not always evident to their au- diences, the Bachelors themselves, consider this facet of their group existence to be as important to them as the production of their first-rate sound. The sheer pleasure of being together and singing as Bachelors is what every member feels and what makes him proud to be a member of the Fraternal Order of Bachelors. BAKERS DOZEN HE roots of The Baker's Dozen go back to a warm summer day in 1947, when nine young men decided their informal singing should be continued on a more organized basis. This they did, while patronizing friends, almost their only audience, murmured encouragement. Even- tually the group was expanded, too, and The Bakerls Dozen joined the ranks of singing groups heard not only at most of Yalels social events but at those of neighboring colleges as well. At the same time the groups repertoire of songs was being expanded beyond the limits of traditional ubarber shops. Indeed all this expansion has been a steady force, to the extent that today The Bakerls Dozen can look back on a history that includes singing not only at nearby colleges, but at many not so near, as well as at numerous civic functions, including a dinner in New York City honoring Mayor Wagner. For the past several years it has financed a trip to Florida for spring vacation by singing at hotels, colleges and clubs, not only in Florida, but on the way, including The Greenbrier, Sea Island, The Breakers, and The Fontainbleu. The Baker's Dozen was Yale's representative at Carnegie Hallls College Soundli concert, and took first prize in the Biltmore Hotel's Inter- collegiate Sing. Although so much activity is a terrific demand, the members have never showed reluctance to sing. Part of the reason for this drive is the large amount of chauvinism felt by the members as a whole; this pride is evidenced by the existence of a printed llBaker's Dozen Songbook, which consists of songs and arrange- ments written by members, official B.D. ties and cummerbunds, and even matchbooks. Progress, then has been made since that warm summer day; the audiences are more demanding, the songs more complex, the demand on the members' time more urgent. And yet, despite occasional feelings that they are hired entertainers instead of friends with some small talent, The Bakerls Dozen is singing for the pure joy of singing; and wherever it goes, it hopes above all to be able to convey that joy to those Who are kind enough to listen.

ORPHEUS 8c BACCHUS HEN the Society of Orpheus and Bacchus met for a week of rehearsal this fall at Barnes Ellis's house in Marblehead, Massachu- setts, the membership had dwindled to seven. Hard hit by graduation and by the battle of the books, the group faced an uphill light. During a week of tennis, touch football games dominated by Aeolus Cutler, three-ring circuses enacted at a golf course, and singing, the groups morale soared. Immediately prior to returning to New Haven, the S. O. B.'s sang at the Myopia Hunt Club. M00 800 Richard crooned The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo, and the basses belted out Stepping Out. With the addition of new members Warner North, Richard Donnelly, and Bryan Johnson and the return of John Trippe, the group began to approach normal size. After two weeks of strenu- ous rehearsing, the finishing touches were put to the S. O. B. record, begun in the spring of 1959. The record has nineteen 0f the group favorites plus three songs done by the S. O. B. quartet. The record sold well; Moty,s beer flowed. As ex- pected, Woody paid homage to his namesake Bacchus, and Bob Charles added some shading to his tie. The highlight of the fall term was the group mascot's coming-out party in New York over the Thanksgiving vacation. It was Uncle Julie night, with Bryan leading the group and singing llChat- tanooga Choo Choo, ilLouisville Lou, and the yodel duet with Jeff in Deitch Company. Following mid-year exams, four new members were elected, and the group began laying plans for the spring trip to Nassau. For ten days, the S. O. st will sing at the Balmoral Club. After spring vacation, the group will give several cone certs, and then take the spring outing at Tom Parker's house. One package of hot dogs should do.

HARKNESS BELLRINGERS HE Yale Guild of Harkness Bellringers has been a society so secret that no one has known about it. Since few musical organizations can boast so wide an audience, it is somewhat para- doxical that this is so. It was decided, therefore, that the bells would be brought more before the eyes of the campus this year, and weekly half- hour concerts were presented on Thursday eve- nings during the fall and spring. The ten bells in the Harkness Tower are rung manually by depressing wooden handles on a carillon, nothas some would thinksby little men swinging merrily in the air from the ends of bellropes. The Yale Guild of Harkness Bellringers came into existence in 1950, after the death of the then curator of University organs, who had pre viously played the bells for twenty-four years. The ringers receive payment to insure attendance; however, the bells sometimes remain mysteriously silent during scheduled rings. Students who suppose that the Harkness Chimes are played only when they are sleeping or study- ing will be surprised to learn that there are only four daily ilrings, though their length was in- creased this year. The llalarm clock ring at eight consists of the Smrlero, Italian Time, and a short hymn. At noon, the campus is showered with a discordant clangor known to all bellringers as the 'lchanges. Three hymns and the familiar Largo from Dvorakls New World Symphony follow. At six, college songs or evening hymns follow Wag- nerls Bell Motif from Parjifal, and at ten a folk song follows the traditional Gregorian Chant. The Guild's repertoire is limited to those tunes which can be transposed to lit 0n the ten avail- able bells. Using very llfree arrangements, how- ever, tunes such as Down the Field can be played, much to the dismay of the musically perceptive listener. The group gives freshmen an opportunity to play the bells during a heeling period each spring. Two or three freshmen are then elected to the Guild to replace seniors and to ring the bells dur- ing their upper class years. Bark RoweAdolphus, Snine, Wing. From?

It had a continuous existence until the period following World War II, when interest in the military naturally declined. The organiza- tion was revived by Major Corbie Truman in 1956 and was received with moderate enthusiasm. In the fall of 1958, however, much interest was established in the Society, due to the efforts of Col. C. E. Brown, P.M.S.8zT. The purposes of the organization are three- fold: 1. To identify, recognize and encourage leadership; 2. To promote prestige and esprit-dee corps of the Yale Cadet Battalion, and 3. To en- gage in activities Which will make membership in the Battalion more meaningful and fruitful. During the scholastic year 1959-1960, the So- ciety sponsored the visits of two national figures 9Prescott Bush, the senior Senator from Con- necticut, and James A.

UNDERGRADUATE DEACONS INCE 1812ethat is, most of the two hundred and three years of the Church of Christ in Yale Universityethere have been Undergraduate Deacons, twenty or so seniors who usher in Bat- tell Chapel, serve communion, and attend to the details of the Sunday morning worship service. Beyond these regular duties, the present group of Deacons initiated in 1959 the Freshman Confer- ence a retreat held immediately prior to Fresh- man Week. From the Class of 1963 thirty-seven boys attended the two day session at the univer- sity's Engineering Camp near Niantic, Connec- ticut, and dealt with the theme: The Religious Quest: In the Classroom; Outside the Classroom; and In the World. Led by Rev. XVilliam S. Cof- fm, Rev. Julian Hartt, and Rev. James H. Robin- son, freshmen and seniors alike discussed the lengious elements and problems likely to be en- countered at Yale. Out of those two days came the beginnings of new ideas and insights. Equally concerned with the ignorance so fre- quently displayed about the textbook of Chris- tianity, the Bible, the Deacons ventured further 280 to institute the Primary Source Material Seminar. It was a Bible Class whose aim was to promote understanding of the meaning of the Scriptures. It was not, however, a lecture, but a discussion in which the participants were encouraged to ex- press their own opinions. Led by Rev. David M. Byers, the group started late in the full with the Sermon on the Mount and passed to other Bib- lical topiCs as they desired. These were the major programs the Deacons undertook this year in their effort to witness for Christ on the campus, but their primary func- tion, of course, was to assist in the service at Battell. Afterwards they conducted :1 coffee hour in Dwight Hall, where those interested in the morning's sermon might come and discuss the topic further with the preacher. This in itself was a rare opportunity for the Deacons to discuss religion with leading ecclesiastical hguresemen like Rev. Herbert Gezork, Rev. Elfan Rees, Rev. James H. Robinson, Rt. Rev. Lesslie Newbigin, Rev. Professor Paul Tillich, Rev. George Mc- Leod, and Rev. Visser T'Hooft. DWIGHT HALL WIGHT HALL remains a mystery to some students throughout the course of their un- dergraduate career even to some of those who have participated in aspects of the program. To say that Dwight Hall is the headquarters of the Yale University Christian Association is to give only a partial explanation. The definition is improved if it is said that Dwight Hall exists for the benefit of men who are religious. This includes both those who seek to find their place within the traditional Christian framework and also those who are religious in the broad mean- ing and act from some deep inner concern and continue to look for an ultimate value in life. The purpose of Dwight Hall is to provide a free and open community of inquiry, sharing and service in which all students may participate. This purpose is pursued in two general areas: the Community Council and the Campus Council. The former covers an extensive program of com- munity social service in which more than two hundred and fifty student volunteers assist in the various settlement houses, hospitals and boys' work agencies in Greater New Haven. For the members involved, work of this kind answers some questions and frequently raises additional concern about the meaning of their lives. One of the functions of the Campus Council is to deal with this concern. Its major activities are study groups, publications, faculty discussions and con- ferences. Over its long history, Dwight Hall has sought to uphold the ideals of Christian faith and work and has sought for ways of communicating its ideals to a sometimes hostile, sometimes receptive environment. There are always new areas to be reached by thought or action, new problems to defy the imagination of its members. In re- sponding to this challenge, Yule men participat- ing in the activities of Dwight Hall examine the relevance of Christianity to their search for a deeper understanding of themselves and of their relation to their fellow man.

THOMAS MORE CHOIR HE Saint Thomas More Choir, 21 choral or- ganization this year numbering some forty members, taken from both the undergraduate and graduate departments of the University, is each year becoming more well known for its treatment of sacred music. The main purpose of the Choir is to provide the music for services at the St. Thomas More Chapel. Each Sunday and Holy Day during the academic year the Choir sang at the High Mass. During the season of Lent it assisted at the Sta- tions of the Cross; Holy Week falling within the University calendar this year, the Choir sang for all the major services, including the Mass of the Presanctifled on Good Friday and the Easter Vigil Service, which was followed by the Mid night Mass of the Resurrection. In addition to its normal duties at the Chapel, the Choir had a limited number of concert en- gagements. These included Christmas concerts at St. Brendanis in New Haven and the Catholic Graduates Club in Waterbury. In what has be- come an annual concert, the Choir travelled to 282 the College of New Rochelle to participate in its Advent program. The Choir also had a spot on the first nationally broadcast Yale Repm'lx tele- vision show, which dealt with the true meaning of Christmas. John T. Paoletti became the director of the Choir this year for the first time. He gave the Choir a broad selection of music for its repertoire ranging from Palestrina t0 Andriessen, a con- temporary Dutch composer. A Mzm in H onor of St. Thomas More, composed by Johannes F. Somary, former director of the Choir, and dedi- cated by him to the St. Thomas More Choir and to Father O'Brien, was sung for the first time in the Chapel this year. For the hrst time since the Choir was organ- ized it awarded four scholarships for voice les- sons at the Yale School of Music. Recipients were Michael Davis, William Dean, Robert Gryboski, and A. John Latona. Business transactions of the Choir were han- dled by A. John Latona, secretary. David Ross was the librarian. Grh UNIVERSITY CHOIR HE University Choir is the oldest singing organization at Yale, having served the Church of Christ in Yale continuously for over a century. It was founded by Gustave Stoeckel in 1854 and has had only two other conductors since thengHarry Jepson from 1894 and Luther Noss from 1939. The Choit's membership of fifty is carefully selected from experienced under- graduate and graduate student singers represent- ing several different schools and divisions of the University. The 1959-60 Choir included 50 men from Yale College and the Engineering School, with the remaining members drawn from the Music, Medical, Law, Drama, Architecture, Di- vinity, Forestry, and Graduate Schools. The Choir sings at each Sunday morning serv- ice held in the Battell Chapel during the academic year. Over 60 anthems are prepared and sung each year. A wide variety of choral music is per- formed, from very old to very new, and the annual schedule is planned so that all important choral periods and styles are represented. This year the Choir gave first performances of two works by Richard Stark and Philip Prince, recent Yale alumni. First performances in this area of new compositions by Jean Langlais and Flor Peeters were also given. It was a special privilege in 1959-60 to have the distinguished Danish organist and scholar, Professor Firm Videro, serving as Acting Uni- versity Organist. Professor Videro played at all regular Sunday morning services, introducing sev- eral memorable features such as concerted music for brass instruments and organ, and also the European custom of announcing the hymns by means of improvised preludes. Both of these in- novations were warmly received by the Battell congregation. Professor Videro was invited to Yale this year to take the place of the regular University Organist, Professor Frank Bozyan, who enjoyed a leave of absence. Mr. Charles Krig- baum served his second year as Assistant Univer- sity Organist and Choirmaster, and as director of music for Dwight Chapel. A series of Bach solo cantatas, directed by Mr. Krigbaum, was pre- sented during the year in Dwight. Bari: RoweHughes, Helgen, McNeeley, Collins, Shapiro, Jones, Spratlan, Sipple.

THOMAS MORE CHAPEL serves as the center of religious life for the Catholic stu- dents at Yale. Dialogue Mass is offered daily at the Chapel, and on Sunday High Mass is chanted by the Choir. The chaplain, the Rev. Edwin B. O'Brien, 1931, is assisted by two other priests, the Rev. Gerard Lepoutre from the University of Lille, and the Rev. Crispin Maguire, 0. F. M., from St. Bonaventure University. The lecture series at More House this year was focused on the ecumenical movement. Lecturers who contributed to the service were Fathers John Smolko, Norris Clarke, David Bayne, Robert Johann, William Lynch, Martin D,Arcy, and George Tavard with Dr. Kenneth Latourette from Yale. Various aspects of the CatholiC-Protestant dialogue were discussed. There was increased in- terest this year in weekend retreats. A large num- ber from Yale joined with students from other Connecticut colleges at the Passionist monastery in Farmington on the weekend of Feb. 12-14. Others made retreats in Boston and at the Trap- pist monastery in Spencer, Mass. Dr. Frank Arri- cale from Fordham led a weekly discussion in the basic problems of philosophy, and Father O'Brien conducted a weekly inquiry class. Under the leadership of Eugene McCarthy a medical school group sponsored monthly speakers there as well as a public lecture series on medical ethics. This series was conducted by Father John Lynch from Boston, who is an internationally famous figure in the field, A group of students from the More Club have begun the recitation of the vigil service every Saturday afternoon. This is an adaptation in English of the prayers and readings from the Roman Breviary. A liturgy discussion group was also formed to further interest in the liturgical worship of the Church. Edward S. Cabot was president of the club this year. He was assisted by the following seniors: Patrick Corcoran, Donald Dell, John Renner, Jonathan Hufstader, Robert Flint, Michael But- terworth, Thomas Dent, John Dwyer, Antony Sullivan, Alfred Woodcock, Peter Stevenson, Richard Banbury, and Robert Walsh.

Rabbi Richard Israel was as new to Yale in September as the Class 0f 63; by the end of Freshman Week activities he had won the admiration and friendship of all. With his en- thusiastic experience to guide them, Joe Young and Sam Joseloff watched their Religious Com- mittee enjoy its most successful year. Succoth, complete with Succo thanks to Dan Schaeffer, and Purim proved most happy holidays; the Hillel seder was most welcome after a conspicuous ab- sence. Services were consistently well-attended, and Sabbath suppers became a vital part of the activities. Diversity and energy characterized Hillel's vari- ous activities. The Forum Series enjoyed another outstanding season under the leadership of Eli Newberger; the second semester found the series expanded to weekly discussions of the topic Biblical Themes in Modern Thought. The social committee, under Don Segal and Robert Kramer, sponsored the usual round of mixers with Vassar and Smith. Aaron Koplin's social welfare com- Bare Rozw-Newherger, Fuchs, Alpert, Milkowsky, Lakein. Second Rou' mittee supplied the Winchester School with teach- ers and several New Haven students with tutors. Jonathan Brown, chairman of the Yale Jewish Appeal, set a goal of $3,000; assisted by vice- chairman Tom Yamin and Freshman Coordinator Jerry Fuchs, he conducted a most successful campaign. The members who attended the Harvard- Yale-Princeton Colloquim at Princeton investi- gated the question of Authority in Judaism. Yale held its own small institute with Smith College, turning to the problem of the Structure of the American Jewish Community. The combination of intellectual challenge and social congeniality proved most rewarding. While co-ordinating these varied activities, the Hillel Cabinet discussed the problem of its unique role at Yale. A clearer understanding of Hillel's obligations to itself, the Yale community, and particular demands of Yale students was reached an understanding which may provide the basis for more meaningful as well as more active pro- grams in the future.

HIS year signifies the thirty-flfth anniversary of the Christian Science organization on the Yale Campus, founded in 1925 in accordance with the IVIanual Of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mas- sachusetts. The purpose of the Organization has been to present Christian Science to the Univer- sity community and to make it available to any- one interested. Weekly testimony meetings are conducted by the members ans! are held every Thursday eve- ning in the Branford College Chapel. They con- sist of readings from the Bible and correlative passages from our denominational textbook, Srieme am! Heallb, willy Key to flag Srriptm-etr, by Mary Baker Eddy, as well as the singing of hymns. The latter part of the service is devoted to the giving of experiences, testimonies, and remarks on Christian Science from the congrega- tion. All students, faculty members, alumni, and friends of the university are cordially invited. 286 The Organization maintains a study room in Lawrence Hall on the Old Campus. Here are the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, and other aw thorized books and periodicals, as well as Tbe Christian: Science Monitor, a daily world-wide newspaper. At least once a year the group sponsors a speaker who is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church. This year our speaker was Paul Stark Seeley, from Portland, Oregon. The officers of the Organization are elected annually by the members and the Organization has an advisor, also elected annually from either the faculty or from the First Church of Christ, Scientist, New Haven. Officers for the past year were: Benton VVorrell, President; Robert Mee- han, Secretary, and Craig Joyner, Vice President- treasurer; Thomas Greene was lecture chairman; Ted XVeiss, Monitor Representative. DESERET CLUB HE growing diversification of the religious background of Yale's faculty and students is evidenced by the appearance of another religious society on campus, the Deseret Club tMor- mom. Organized by the LattereDay-Saint students in a unified church pattern, the Deseret Club at Yale is one of 32 such groups throughout the country. During the past year two faculty mem- bers acted as advisers to the 14 members of the club. The existence of the Deseret Club is justified by two important functions which it serves the members at Yale. The first function is concerned with the intellectual growth of the student. A basic tenet of Mormon philosophy is the glory of God is intelligence. Since the Church suggests only beneficial behavior restraints and upholds contemplative experience on all things virtuous, lovely, of good report, or praiseworthy, the con- tribution to intellectual growth can be as extensive and as varied as club participation allows. In developing this function during the past year, the club took advantage of Yales community of scholars. Once each month 21 faculty member was invited to lead an informal discussion with the club membership at our Sunday morning meeting. On the following Sunday the topic was repeated and enriched by the motivated research of the members. Such topics as tiAmerican Politics and Christian Ethics and Evolution: Contradiction andtor Confirmation in Religious Thought were chosen by the members to satisfy their own com- mon interests. The second function, also through voluntary ascription by each member, is the maintenance of Church identity while at Yale. Worship, service, and recreation are held co-operatively with such groups as the New Haven L. D. S. Branch, L. D. S. Relief Society, and co-ed Deseret Clubs. Club members acted as branch teachers in the homes of branch members, concessionaires at the Relief Society Bazaar, and entertainers at church socials. Being a minority group possessing perceptible peculiarities, the club hopes to be able to provide answers about Our tenets and activities for those Yale men who seek them.

The executive ofhcers in the national service fraternity's thirteenth year at Yale were Lawrence F. Nazarian, President; Ane drew M. Erickson, Executive Vice-Ptesident; Joseph XV. Wells, Service Vice-President; and Robert T. McKinlay, Administrative Vice-Presi- dent. Service to the campus and New Haven con- tinued to grow. APO members worked with the American Red Cross to solicit 2,091 pints of blood in two drives, setting a record for Yale donations and providing 46w; of the blood col- lected in the city. The APO student book ex- change resulted in considerable savings for buyer and seller alike. Children at St. Anthony's Home were given parties at Easter and Halloween, while members supervised such activities as sports, cookouts and hikes for the children of the High- land Heights Home. Throughout the year rm ambulance service was maintained to carry students to and from the inhrmary. Another regular service was main- tenance of the bulletin board in Yale Station, with the addition of special sheets facilitating rider service. The Chapter worked With the Quin- nipiac Council of the Boy Scouts of America in creating a popular explorer post. The social program was carried on with parties following big spring weekends and football games; the traditional Winter outing at Camp Sequassen, a happy melange of snow, ice, steak and beer; occasional beer blasts; and the annual Christmas eggnog party. A delegation to a conference planning session at UConn last spring helped plan the New Eng- land sectional conference at Boston University in the fall, where another group went and compared notes with representatives of the national fm- ternity and members of other chapters. Large pledge classes brought the chapter to its fullest strength yet: eighty members in all. Btlrlz RozreEllis, Yules. Rosenbaum, Obbard, Gordon. Seruud RoerKing. Brush, Estes.

And there were plenty of them: a trip was run each weekend of the school year. The most popular of these were the hiking, spelunking and skiing trips with headquarters at either of our two cabins. In the Spring and Fall numerous caving expenditions, ably led by Blue- shirt John Dunning, headed for underground New England. Many of these were joint trips in co-operation with the Yale Speleological Society, Other groups explored the Quinnipiac Trail starting from our Mt. Carmel cabin; with winter came skiing and a multitude of short trips to the slopes. But man does not live with hairy chests alone, and most of these activities were, as in the past, coed affairs. The annual Snoski weekend, run by the Yale Outing Club for the Inter-Collegiute Outing Club Association, took place the first weekend in Feb- ruary and involved over two hundred and forty skiers from sixteen different schools. Pico Peak's skiing was much enjoyed, and was followed by traditional banquet and square dance. New this year was the patch member system, under which the most active non-Blueshirt meme bets receive patches and are encouraged to lead trips. Those who show promise eventually become Blueshirts. The Outing Club obtained a considerable amount of new equipment this year, including four sets of spelunking gear, a 120 foot climbing rope, and miscellaneous rock-climbing hardware.

CORINTHIAN YACHT CLUB C ommod ore V ice-C ommodore Rear-Commodore ROBERT T. GUYTON GEORGE HILL WILLIAM BINDLOSS OR the flrst time in its 78 year history, the Yale Corinthian Yacht Club was able to ac- quire property providing it with an ideal loca- tion for its activities at Short Beach in Branford. In addition the club has purchased ten new Gannet sloops, a decked fibreglas version of the popular International 14. The Gannets and the four Tech dinghies owned by the club are now stored in a building on the property. A new club- house is slated for the near future. In the endless intercollegiate racing circle Yale has emerged as a strong contender. The spring of 1959 commenced with an exceptionally close McMillan Cup series at the Naval Academy in 44-foot yawls in which the Elis had to be satis- fied with a third. This performance marked the third consecutive year Yale has placed in the top three in this important event that brings together collegiate sailors from the Middle Atlantic and 291 Secretary- Treamrer Rate Committee C lattirmam From Representative PETER B. MOORE JACK STROTHMAN DYKE V. WILLIAMS New England areas. A second in the Connecticut Valley Championship also highlighted the spring. William Bindloss narrowly missed retaining for Yale the New England Raven Sloop Champion- ship in the fall of 1959. Competing in over 30 regattas during the season, the overall record showed continued improvement. The Freshman team gained two wins and :1 fourth in the New England Freshman Champion- ship in the spring while the fall featured two sec- onds, losing in one instance by 1A; point, in the other six. Thus it seems the club is assured of a new crop of capable and eager racers. With its new location the club is better able to assume its responsibility to the New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association by hosting its share of regattas. This spring the club sponsored the Connecticut Valley Championship and two freshman regattas. ROBERT ACKERMAN JOHN M. ALLEN DUNCAN ALLING ROBERT E. ANDERSON JAMES P. ANDREWS DORRANCE BELIN STEPHEN A.

To this day no one can tell you how they got the name, or what it means, because no one knows. Since its birth in the fall of sophomore year, this fearless band of red-shirted misfits, Z7072 M'- mrm and toccasionallyy skaters has left its own inimitable mark on the grand sport that is hockey. The 15 founding members had four things in common: They were members of the class of 1960, they had a strong urge to play hockey, they wanted to have fun, and they were all terrors on skates. Hence a team which had only one prac- tice in three years developed a reputation as a group which would travel anywhere for a game. They may go down in Yale history as the only team to retire all of its jerseys after never losing a game. The URPS brilliant career began inauspiciously. Of their first three games, one was snowed out, one was rained out, and one twith the Williamls Fraternity All-Starsl ended in a three way con- test between the URPS, a blizzard, and booze when the timorous opposition failed to show up. 293 The URPS capped their second year of hockey by avenging their setback of a year earlier tn scrimmagey by upsetting the Cougars. Still inv proving, the team swept all opposition senior year before skating into retirementeand immor- tality. Many things have gone into the URPS legend. For instance, the team became notorious as a breeder of confusion on the ice. All their jer- seys bore number 13.

Student Committee is a group of the leading members of the senior class in the School of Engineering whose purposes are five- fold: to advance the interests of undergraduate engineering education at Yale and to promote the fellowship of engineers at Yale; to represent the undergraduate Yale engineers in the Yale com- munity; to co-ordinate the activities and efforts of undergraduate engineering groups; to promote several times a year joint meetings of interest to all engineering students; to promote the Yale En- gineering Association at Yale and to sponsor its yearly meeting in New Haven. The Y. E. A. Student Committee consists of representatives from Tau Beta Pi, honorary scho- lastic engineering society, the Yale Scientific Magazine, Society for the Advancement of Man- agement, and the undergraduate organizations of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Society of Automotive Engineers, the Ameri- 294 can Institute of Electrical Engineers, the Institute of Radio Engineers, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the American Society of Civil Engineers, and the American Institute of Metal- lurgists and Metallurgical Engineers. The officers of the Committee are a Chairman and a Secretary- Treasurer. Their term of offlce is one year. Elec- tions are held at the last meeting of the school year when both old and new members are pres- ent. Grant Robley, Associate Dean of the School of Engineering acts as the groups faculty advisor. The decisions of the committee are not binding to the member organizations. They must first be referred to each member organization before final approval. Member organizations are to keep each other informed on matters of mutual interest through the committee. It is the responsibility of the individual delegates to keep their organiza- tions informed of the committees work.

Hart'lcmzl HE morning was auspiciously bright, hot, and Thursday, September 17, 1959. The double- time pace caught us up when we stepped from our cars, as the campus cops moved away mothers and brothers as soon as we were unloaded. We then raced and scrambled and searched for people to see, buildings to find, and appointments to keep, and when we reached our destinations, we stagnated in monstrously long lines. The many and the movement left little time for philosophizing, save for quiet individual ex- ultation. Our ideas were not of the Yippee, I'm a Yale man variety, but more like iTve made it this far, but what's going to happen now? , mingled with some awe and apprehension. The other Freshmen all seemed friendly-we were all trying hard, often too hard, to force good im- pressions on others. Any ill will was secreted. Vie looked awfully good on paper; so well- rounded that our belts were breaking. The class of 1030 is drawn from some 4000 applicants. We have a not-so-exclusive group of 126 class presidents, half of the class has won secondary school varsity letters, and 116 of these were cap- tains in at least one sport. Further, 542 yearbook editors, of which nearly one-third were editors- in-chief, and 326 members of musical organiza- tions are represented. Academically, we had mean scores of 632 in verbal and 664 in mathematics, and 360 surpassed the 700 mark in the latter sub- ject. Distributional credits were awarded to 745 of useone hundred over the previous record g ;, mmxyk a mm m m ' 38 Mn is '38 xxn - warm m e m 3:; -yxx g s: y: A . x LU ,. g .:I xx xx: mun um . 8833- At t?

The Deans sincerely t you can bet :1 diploma 0n the llsincerelyill hope that this leadership and general ability will go towards llconstructive purposes. We even had to sign a pledge on be- half of this, and were spooned out a soothing close of propaganda when we received the appel- lation of The Peaceful Class at the Matricula- tion Dinner. Following the trend of the dinner, the New Haven Police Chief said what line shape town-gown relations werewlittle misunderstand- ings here and therewand as an outlet for our pent-up energies, Robert Kiphuth had :1 word. We became more closely acquainted with him at the physicals, where only 150 groaned by, and the rest collapsed. Also at the dinner, 32 of us were singled out as targets on the basis of promise, receiving honorary national scholarships. These students were Michael Henderson, John Madden, Jr., E. Jeffrey Peirels, Guy Struve, George Herr, John Fellows, Jr, John Impert, Stephen Brunet, James Kelley, Michael Reed, Richard Emory, JL, Thomas Prindle, Fielding Williams, Jr., Craig Zimmerman, Donald Kripe, John O'Brien, Thomas Chun, Alan Kidwell, Wil- liam Keckler, Thomas Standish, 111, Eric Carlson, Roger L. Chaffe, Mark Elson, Norman Ethering- ton, Alan Cranquist, Alan Hooker, XWilliam Nordhaus, Edmund Rogers, Jonathan Rose, Harry Silverstein, III, Alan Weaver, and Donald Wood. The one-week introduction over, having bickered with salesmen, joined the'unon-prohtll tit all goes to the membersl Co-op, and wisely bought Barman, we headed to classes. The first day was easy, the rest were not. Those saddled with Math-lZ or Chem-Il were pitied, and those with guts were nearly non-existent. The Deans, Howard Whiteman, Robert Ramsey, Jr, and Ernest Thompson, were not reluctant to change schedules, provided coats and ties were donned for appointments. These august gentlemen soon selected 12 of us for the Freshman Activities Committee. The F. A. C. consisted of William Bassin, Stephen Bruner, David Davidson, Ronald Holden, Irvin Jennings, Charles Kivowitz, James Lilien- thal, Hoy McConnell, Joseph Schofer, Joseph Vale, and Jorge Zalles. The group was super- vised by councilor Arthur Kover, and assistant dean Robert Ramsey. Among the F. A. Cfs im- portant contributions were the running of the mixers, the Dartmouth and Harvard weekend dances, Durfee Center, late-dating 21nd automo- bile permissions on big weekends, and intellec- tual such as assisting the Art Festival, and direct- ing the Ralph Hill Thomas lectureship. The mix- ers too were stimulating, though travel to and from them left something to be desired. The Mt. Holyoke bus wound up at Smith, the Conn mixer bus returned just before breakfast, and one of the busses coming back from a Vassar mixer just kept going around in ever-increasing concen- tric circles. . . Local stock such as S. C. S. C. and G. N. H. N. S. were occasionally tapped- they provided. less travel problems. Elsewhere 07.2 the Feme ulitfy t63, the other important freshman activity operating throughout the year, put out its first edition and soon shifted to a four-column paper. James Johnson, IV was elected editor-in-chief, With Tom Hartch business 300 manager, Jules Wright feature editor, Edward Marsh news editor, Richard Malmed sports edie tor, Joseph Herzenberg circulation manager, Jo- seph Schofer F. A. C. editor, and Donald Cooke photography editor. The staff did an excellent job of keeping us informed of the coming events, F. A. C. activities, sports results, and freshman individual accomplishments. Perhaps the humor left us fiat at times tcocker spaniel sale by Mrs. Pavlova, but the paper proved itself to be the best volume yet. The debating team did very well also. Taft fell to two teams, one of David Boren, Peter Maffltt, and Robert Weisinger, the other of Peter Freed, Stanfreld Hill, and John Koehler. Later Hill and Freed teamed With Bruce Weizel to smother Choate in the 34th annual debate. Jules Wright took part in the Yale Political Unionts trans- Atlantic cable debate with Cambridge Union which ended a draw. Fifty-flve of us joined the Political Union and were one third of the total group. Another twenty-flve freshmen were se- lected to the Yale Band, and 100 formed the Freshman Glee Club. The full social activities depended upon the athletic schedules, and the excellent performances 0f the teams added to the big weekends. The Dartmouth weekend started Saturday morning with the annual Bludderball contest. The atmos- phere was tense, for an OTF feature article re- vealed a subversive freshman plot to kidnap the Big Ball and remove it from the limiting con- fines of the Old Campus. The contest started quietly as the Banner racked up scores of goals over its diminutive foes, but the freshmen were not to be outdone. On our third charge-the hrst two having been repulsed by scores of cops with big sticksewe swooped down and headed to- wards Vanderbilt, amid frantic cries of wrong way, tlhelp, and arrrghh...! Hundreds of po- lice and thousands of prejudiced upperclassmen put up a fierce goal-line stand with their backs to the Vanderbilt gateway. Megaphones barked and whistles shrieked, and we were forced to set- tle for 21 tainted victory. The peaceful epithet was rather strained by the occasion. That afternoon we found another outlet for our energy, as the undefeated gridders took the little Injuns 15-12. Tim O'Connell threw two long passes to halfback Hank Higdon, Dave Weinstein bolted over from the one, and Wally Grant booted the p. 21. t., all 82 yards being covered in the final two minutes of play. The complete l63 tri- umph was completed that night when Eddie Witte steinls orchestra and the Bachelors highlighted the F. A. C. dance in Commons. Our next big outlet came Harvard weekend. The F. A. C. lobbied for car permissions and later hours on Friday night. The Bullpup contest Saturday morning was the day's only athletic high-light. The 28-24 triumph, last in an un- defeated season was particularly enjoyable. Several times in recent years the Johnnies had dirtied a Clean slate, and the hard fought Victory was well- deserved. The afternoon was on the whole rather dulling, but things began to move at nightfall. A jazz concert in Woolsey Hall followed by a dance in Commons featuring Pat Dorn's orches- tra and the Alleycats completed the day; both functions were ably sponsored by the F. A. C. The fall sport record was an admirable one. The gridders led the way with their undefeated squad. Close one point wins over Cornell and Dartmouth, as well as the squeaker over Harvard established the squad as a team which performed best under pressure. O'Connell, Higdon, and Weinstein paced the backfield along with Chris Clark. Captain Wolf Dietrich, latest of the New Trier line, Dillon Hoey, Stan Riveles, John Younger, and Peter Kiernan stood out in the line. In all six wins, however, the squad's depth proved important. The booters rolled to a 6-2-1 record, although a loss to Princeton and victory over Harvard pre- vented a clear-cut Freshman Big Three title. A strong backfield was anchored by Captain Bob Hetherington, Fred Smith, and George Smith in the halfback line, with Robert Powers, and Char- ley Frank pacing the front line. The squad re- vealed excellent spirit and hustle and functioned well as a unit. Robert Mack led the cross country team, and broke the freshman course record of 15:58 by two seconds. The team defeated Dartmouth and Co- lumbia in league contests, but lost to Brown before the Big Three meet. The Bullpups won this behind Mackis new course record 15:58 for 3.3 miles; the final score was Yale 30, Princeton 36, Harvard 43. The squad was tenth in the IC4A meet with Mack's ninth place the best blue showing. Behind Mack were Peter Welles, Pep- per Stuessy, Doug Allen, and Eric White. December passed quietly between various term papers and exams, although the 'ipeaceful title was somewhat enhanced by a half dozen of us who managed to get into the act early and pull out unnoticed before the later fireworks. The Thunderbirds, a formal rock 'n roll group consist- ing of Chuck Lubar, Bill Kramer, Geoff Noyes, and Steve Mackinnon, received recognition in the OTF, which also reported the F. A. C. early plans for THE Prom. The winter athletic season saw scattered pre-vacation action. The swimming squad, paced by All-Americans John Finch, Carl Vitez, Flip Stevens, and John Kirkwood, whoppecl East Haven High 70-7 giving warning of what was to come. Ralph Howe defeated George XVest in the squash tournament, after these two had over- come Charlie Frank and Bill Greenwood in the semi-fmals. The OFT let out a blast at the long lines in Commons, and suggested that the faculty share their half of the facilities and get into the waiting mess themselves. The Freshman One-Act plays proved highly successful and received generally good reviews. Stephen Dunning starred in Honor, a de Maupas- sant story concerning the war in Germany. In contrast to this drama, Roderick Dew and Ben Wilson led the cast of Open IVindow, a comedy by John Jenkins based on a short story by Saki. The third play was A72 Emerald in 1139 szligbl by Morriatt, in which Jorje Zalles and Henry Lyman had starring roles. January proved to be a pretty dead month with coming exams hanging over us. Several good lectures and speakers including Paul Tillich in Battell, Norman Thomas on Socialism, and an open debate between Paul Weiss and Chaplain William Coffin were irregular intellectual stimulii, and the bullpup winter sports successes were di- versions, but the books had us pretty well tied down. Despite the three and one-half hour ex- ams, we produced a class average of 77.8, :1 Dennis list ranking of 82, and a Ranking Scholar average of 86, matching last year's record, but more quietly. The iTSusieH story rocked the campus just be- fore, during, and after exams, with an indeter- mined number of upperclassmen resigning? The peaceful ones proved to be stealthy as well, as none of us were involved officially at any point. Lawrance Hall hit the front pages under the alias of Calhoun College twhich seems to be the center of such happenings in recent yearsy, but otherwise we quietly watched, and waited. Weekday dating permissions were washed out much to the regret of a small nucleus, although Friday was later removed from the ban. The Durfee Social center became more important. With exams over and done, heeling rushed in upon us. The hitherto forbidden confines of the various large organizations were opened to us, and we responded eagerly. Many of us decided to load up at the Yali-Daily though only sixteen of our original crowd of sixty stuck it Out for the eight weeks. The Banner held the greatest per cent of its first heelers, and a full thirty-flve lasted through the initial withdrawal down at YBC. The Dramat and other literary organiza- tions pulled down lesser numbers of slaves. With the noteworthy exception of YBC, however, the heelerships in general were undermanned, a con- dition reflecting the increasing demands on our time due to more distributional credits and ad- vanced courses. Two dozen of us were elected to the seven major singing groups open to underclassmen. The Spizzwinks selected Warren Hoge, Andy Clark, Sandy Fraze, Bill Reed, and Tony Elson, while the Dukes Men inducted Don Abbot, Gordon Pruett, John Gillespie, Dave Budding, 21nd Gerney Williams.

Tom Welch, Tom Rusling, Tom Buckner, and Ron Sampson joined the Alley Cats. Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Florida were the centers of op- erations for most of these groups over the Spring Vacation. After :1 long dreary stretch our Freshman Prom finally came. The Big Show opened on Friday eve- ning with a special dinner in Commons followed by a Glee Club concert in Sprague Hall. Pat Dom and his orchestra blended ideally into the cafe motif in Commons, and the F. A. C. sponsored Ben Cutler's first-line orchestra for the Prom it- self in Woolsey Hall. The evening included a nonsensical grand march, and some marvelous Wigs, with the formal dance coming to an end at two mm. Saturday afternoon the bullpup swimmers racked up the Harvard yearlings 56-39 to com- plete their undefeated season, and our fencing team edged Harvard 15-12 for its sole triumph. The evening was just as full as Friday night, starting with the hoopsters, 78-72 win over Har- vard. Delta Kappa Epsilon and Chi Psi opened up for us, at $4 :1 head, and many thoroughly u If 30!! blew Smie . . . enjoyed themselves. Most of us,went back to classes feeling spent,- but requited. A glance at the scoreboards and statistics reveal that the winter sports records were almost as E g ? g. x :.: m x haze spectacular as the fall Clubsi. The Tankmen led the way with their 11-0 record, John Finch, Carl Vitez, Charles Mussman, and Flip Stevens stand- ing out. Princeton, 52-43, and Harvard, 56-39, proved to be the toughest opponents, and many of the close races this year will be repeated at the varsity level in the years to come. The hoopsters pushed to an 86 record behind the steady play of Captain Chip Oldt and center tat 6'8'U Steve Goulding. Lack of depth hin- dered the squad in close contests. The track squad won the freshmen Big Three title, behind dis- tance runner Bob Mack, hurdler and jumper Bill Flippen, and high jumper Sam Streibert. The most powerful squad was the squash club which rolled through undefeated, including seven shut- outs in nine contests. The top four men were un- defeated: Ralph Howe, Captain Bob Hethering- ton, George West, and Charlie Frank, and the outlook for the coming years at the varsity level equals that of the swimming squad. The hockey squad earned a winning season, but the loss of Captain Tim Sargeant in the second game spoiled its Chances for an exceptional record. The start- ing line of Steve Gunther, Lea Pendleton, and Nat Kingsbury, with defensemen Bermo Schmidt, and Vincent Andrus 21nd goalies Pete Country- man and Tom Curtiss led the squad. Defeats by both Princeton and Harvard marred the season. The bullpup grapplers suffered a losing season but strong varsity support should come from middleweight division men Pete Welles, Nick Munson, Jon Bogart, and Mike Reed. Sparked by a petition drummed up by a dozen of our classmates, the News started a series of articles concerning bursary jobs, their need and their value to scholarship students. Over at Pier- son, however, Ted James and Orin Brustad raised 11-11 and showed that dining hall work need not be a total loss. Our first snowstorm of the year came of all times in March, but when St. Patrick's Day had passed, the Order of Ancient Hibernians tdee spite fanatical anti-Catholic pamphlets distributed at the corner near Liggett'sy marched by un- molested. After Spring vacation, the year seemed nearly over. Our college allocations were posted. We were generally pleased in a crowded sort of way, as rooms designed for double occupancy were em- ployed as quadruples. We had a strictly fabulous college weekend, passed in ten various fashions. Soon thereafter finals and freshman year were past. It had been, for most of us, a good year and a great experience. We had gained an increased perspective on our yet-Cloudy goals, on our op- portunities, and our limitations. We were aware of the significance of Yale, though we were only partly appreciative of it, having as yet taken ad- vantage of the situation in just an introductory way. The reasons we had come to Yaleefor some the specific type of education, for others the pres- tige associated with the name, or the people they hoped to meet here which they felt they could find nowhere elseethese reasons were for most of us rewarded. Yale education is many-facetecl and includes all this, education in the classroom: and lecture-halls, in post-midnight bull-sessions, in learning to live with an objectionable room- mate, and on the field or in the gallery. Our education has inherent in it a great number of petty daily disappointments and failings, and we have often gotten discouraged and dejected to- wards ourselves and the world. But the letdowns are for most of us only transitory; our year had been generally worthwhile and fun, and we could look forward to three more years and backwards to this one, at Yale. 2 .33! 3 33333333 3 3 3 E 3 33 3g 3 . i 3 13 N K wmmmvmmmmmi; WA?

F OOTBALL HIS year's freshman football team finally ac- complished what the teams of the two pre- vious years had failed to do; they beat Harvard in the final game, and finished the season unde- feated. The team had a good deal more size than last year's team, while being almost as fast. Also accounting for success was a strong defense, which more than counter-balanced any weakness on offense. This defensive strength was nrst demonstrated in the Columbia game, where they pushed the Lions all over the field in shutting them out 13-0. Yalels first score came in the second period on a 40 yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tim OlConnell to halfback Henry Higdon. The final score was added on a 49 yard run by Craig Zimmerman. Also outstanding on offense was fullback Dave Weinstein. In their second game, the Bullpups eked out a close Victory 7-6 over Cornell. In the second period Yale picked up a fumble and had the ball on the Big Red thirty yard line. Ten plays later, Jerry Kenney scored from 9 yards out. Wally Grant kicked the PAT and Yale led 7-0. Cornell FRESHMAN ATHLETICS scored in the fourth quarter, but could not con- vert. Again Yale showed a strong defense, as they prevented Cornell from scoring from four yards out in the third quarter. In their first home game, the freshmen whipped Brown 18-0. In the first quarter, halfback Chris Clark recovered a fumble 0n the Brown 27. OiConnell then hit right end Dillon Hoey for an 18 yard touchdown pass. Clark was also in- strumental in the second touchdown as he grabbed a 35 yard pass from quarterback Jud Calkins. The Bullpups' final score was added when Dave Weinstein went over from eight yards out to climax a 35 yard march. Led by their newly elected captain, Wolf Diet- rich, at guard, the freshman came from behind to defeat Dartmouth 13-12. Weinstein scored first for Yale from one yard out, after a 35 yard O'Connell to Clark pass. Then with two minutes left to go, Yale was behind 12-6. With Tim OlConnell calling signals, the Bullpups drove from their own 18 t0 the Dartmouth two, where O'Connell scored. Wally Grant kicked the point and the game was Yale's. Traveling next to Princeton to take on their first Big Three Opponent, Yale downed the Tigers 13-6. Yale scored first when Wolf Dietrich took a Tiger punt, which had been blocked by Dave Weinstein and raced 25 yards for the tally. The final score was set up by tackle Dave Ma- wicke falling on a Princeton fumble on the Tiger 25. Jud Calkins then threw to Denny Landa, who went over for the score. The next week the Bullpups defeated Harvard to win the Big Three Championship, and also to finish the season undefeated. Yale was behind for most of the game, but scored with eight minutes left, to win 28-24. The first Yale score came when center Jim Thompson blocked a Harvard punt for a safety. On the kickoff, Yale marched 46 yards climaxed by 21 two yard sneak by O'Connell for the next score, which left Yale behind 12-9 at the half. Harvard scored again and then end Dick JRCunski intercepted a pass and ran for 42 yards and the score, After another Harvard score, Dillon Hoey scored on a 26 yard pass. The final and winning touchdown was set up by Weinsteinls 62 yard run on a fullback draw to the Harvard six. XVeinstein then scored on the next play to provide the winning margin. On the list of varsity candidates are Captain Wolf Dietrich at guard, Henry Higclon twho was voted the team's outstanding playety, quarter- backs Calkins 21nd O'Connell, fullback Dave Weinstein, halfback Chris Clark. Also outstand- ing were ends Dick and Bob Jacunski 21nd Dillon Hoey, guard Pete Kiernan, tackles Dave Mawicke and Stan Riveles, centers Jim Thompson and John Younger. These players and others are all ex- pected to provide a great deal of depth for 1960. V ml , mum m' y x r xx ., mi :4 4.2 W m: SOCCER ED by Captain Bob Hetherington, and high scorer Neil Thompson, the freshman soccer team finished the year with a record of 6 wins, 2 losses and 1 tie. The Bullpups, record was marred only by a close loss to the University of Connecticut, and loss of the Big Three title. The season opened with a close 2-0 win over a determined Andover team. The winning goal was scored. with thirteen minutes gone in the final quarter by Bruce Lindsay. Minutes later Dave Griffith added an insurance goal to put the game out of Andoverls reach. Traveling next to Storrs, the team suffered the first of its two defeats, los- ing to UConn 3-2. But the frosh then bounced back to defeat Bridgeport by a decisive 4-0 score. Charlie Frank opened the scoring in the first period; Lindsay and Thompson both scored in the third period; and Dave Carmody climaxed the scoring in the fourth quarter. In the next game, the booters ex- ploded for six goals to soundly defeat Orange Community College 6-1. Bob Power led the scor- ing with a three goal hat trick; Matt Hawes, and Tom Holahan and Thompson also scored. The Frosh next took a 1-0 victory over Taft, 215 a goal by Charlie Frank in the third period stood as the lone score and a 5-0 shutout over Exeter. Yale completed its scoring in the hrst half as two goals by Powers and one by Frank pro- vided an easy margin of victory. Yale then crushed Milford 6-2 to score its fifth straight win. Lindsay opened the scoring with two lirst If s i i i n mm I it a period goals. Frank, Carmody, Hawes, and Thompson each ladded individual scores. But hopes for a third straight Big Three were clashed the following week as the team was shut out by Princeton 2-0, and then tied 2-2 by Har- vard. Thompson scored both goals in the Harvard game, but Yale c0uldn,t score in the two over- times and the tie held. High scorer for the year was Neil Thompson, followed by Bob Power and Bruce Lindsay. Also instrumental in the teanfs success were Bob Heatherington at center half, Ned Massie at goal, Lou Brodsky and Pete Pochna at fullbacks, Fred Smith and George XVest at halfbacks, and Dave Grifhth, Matt Hawes, and Charlie Frank in the forward positions. CROSS COUNTRY ED by Bob Mack the Yale freshman cross country team completed a highly successful season losing to only two of its nine opponents and adding the Big Three title to its credit. In addition, Mack bettered the Yale freshman course record on two separate occasions, as well as set- ting a new Princeton course record in the Big Three meet. In the first meet of the season, a triangular one against Brown and UConn, Yale fmished second behind a strong Brown team, but well ahead of a weak UConn. group. Traveling next to Hanover for another triangular meet, the frosh soundly de- feated Dartmouth and Columbia by the score of 26-43-54. Despite a new course record of 15.56 set by Bob Mack, Yale lost to 21 strong Fordham team, 23-35. The victory was the fifth year in a row that Fordham has beaten the frosh. In the freshman Big Three meet Mack set a Princeton course record as Yale won the title over Princeton and Harvard by the score of 30-36-54. Continuing his record breaking performances, Mack again bettered the Yale freshman record with a time of 15:29.6, as the frosh bettered a Yale J. V. group and Avon Academy, 29-35-64, to wind up its last triangular meet 0f the season. The team,s fine record owes much to the depth provided by Pete Welles, Eric White, Doug Allen, Dave Anderson, and Pepper Stuessy. These men should provide much talent for next year's var- sity. l 313:: Ewgmw 41 29 i3 BDJ 53 56 81 32334 22 32 r 't 3 9:, 7h . , p, v if, 3L. Y 33 .L3 w- 3 FRESHMAN FOOTBALL TEAM link Ruu'JIc-zzi.

BASKETBALL LIMAXING their season with a 78-72 Vic:- tory over Harvard, the freshman basketball team, under Coach Vito DeVito, concluded a winning season with an 8-6 record. The season opened with a 75-68 victory over Springfield at the Payne Whitney Gymnasium. Center Steve Goulding showed a great deal of promise as he led the home forces with 19 points. In their first game away from home, the frosh traveled to Storrs, where they lost :1 66-65 heart- breaker to the University of Connecticut. Once more Goulding led his teammates, as the tall center tanked 23 points. Against perennially strong XVilbur Cross High, they faired little bet- ter. The local team, later crowned New England champions, topped the Bullpups, 72-60. Follow- ing a third straight defeat, this time at the hands of Holy Cross, the team put together their long- est winning streak of the year, a four game spree, with triumphs over Brown, Southern Connecti- cut, Trinity, and Wesleyan. Captain Chip Oldt was a standout in both the Southern Connecticut and Trinity games, as he scored 25 and 22 points respectively. Tim O'Connell was also very im- pressive at guard, as Yale won by 60-51 and 80-58 scores. In the Wesleyan game Oldt con- tributed 28 points and Goulding added 15 to the teams 76-64 win. The squad traveled to Princeton for their next game. The effects of the exam layoff were quite evident, however, and their Ivy rivals ended the Eli win streak, 78-68. Chip Oldt once again stood out, sinking 30 points in a losing cause. The team rebounded to take lopsided wins over Bridgeport and Hartford, only to lose another heartbrenker to Columbia. The Lions, playing on their home courts, squeezed past the pups 74-72 in an over- time contest. Oldt led the team with 27 points, followed by guard Bob Peterson, with 15. As the seasons end drew near, the Bulipups still found themselves unable to win the Close ones, and fell victim to Dartmouth, 74-71, in a tight ball game. The next night, though, they came right back to down the Harvard team, 78- 72. The top scorers for the evening were Oldt and Goulding. Although they came out with a winning sea- son, the loss of several close games, which could very easily have been reversed, greatly affected the team's record. Throughout the year Captain Oldt and center Goulding were standouts on the squad. The latter, with his 6'8 , should lend much needed height to the varsity next year. Be- sides these two, Bob Peterson and Tim OiCon- nell, frosh QB, turned in fine jobs as guards and should add depth at this position to next year's varsity. Also expected to supplement the varsity's strength are Mike Jecko and Marty Gcrstel. WRESTLING HE freshmen wrestling team finished its sea- Tson with a disappointing 3-5 record, but could look back upon several decisive victories and a number of close defeats. Competition began on December 5, when the team hosted a match with the Rutgers frosh, at Payne XVhitney Gymnasium, losing 14-23. Vie- tory was tasted a week later, however, with a solid win over Cheshire Academy; pins by Nick Mun- son, Mike Reed, Ernie Linsay and Captain Jon Bogert contributed to the 26-13 score. The only January meet was on the ninth, at Springfield, with the final score 20-15 in favor of the hosts. Against Brown, Captain Bogcrt dropped his opponent and teammates Pete XVelles, Munson, Reed and Linsay contributed wins for the Elis. The decision remained, however, Brown 20, Yale 18. A week later the team again lost a close contest to Columbia, finishing on the short end of a 16-20 tally. The team's fortunes and spirits picked up with the last three weeks of the season. The Penn match at Philadelphia, on February 20, ended in a complete rout by Yale, 34-5. Pins by Dick Mal- med, Welles, Munson and Captain Bogert high- lighted this meet, in which Yale took every con- tested weight class. The story was much the same the following week when the Princeton contest ended in a 20-11 victory for the Bullpups. March 3 closed the season on a sour note, unfortunately, with a 21-11 loss to Harvard. The statistics lie in considering the accomplish- ments of the team. Lack of manpower meant forfeits and decisive points in more than one meet; furthermore, Welles, Munson, and Captain Bogert, all won seven of eight matches. The rec- ord book notwithstanding, then, the team per- formed well. TRACK HE 1960 freshmen track squad performed well during a limited season consisting of only two contests. The record a hairbreadth dual meet loss to Dartmouth and a thumping win over Harvard and Princeton in a triangular match- speaks well for the team. The Dartmouth contest was held at Coxe Cage on Saturday, February 13. In spite of double wins by Bill Flippin and Bob Mack, however, the team was unable to stern the tide of a 53-51 Dartmouth victory. Flippin took the high hurdles event and tied teammate Sam Streibert for first in the high jump at 62122 . In less than two hours, Bobby Mack ran three events for Yale, tying Doug Allen for first in the mile, winning the two mile 65 minutes later and leading off in the half mile leg of the medley relay in 2:05. The Bullpups lacked distance runners, however, losing the 600 and 1000 yard runs, the medley relay and, in the process, the match. Results of the February 27 triangular meet, again at Coxe Cage, proved the full ability of the cindermen: Yale 52, Harvard 45, Princeton 40. The deciding factor, which turned defeat into victory in two weeks, was a better balance of scoring, with a good distribution of second, third and fourth places, as well as the all-important firsts. In this latter category, were wins by Thomas in the broad jump t21'8 i, Mack in the mile run t4:23.4i, and the two mile t10:07.4i, Flip- pin in the high hurdles t7.5i, and Streibert in the high jump t6'2545'U. The two mile relay team of Stuessey, Allen, White and Mack finished in 8:24.7 for still another first. Thus capturing the Big Three freshmen crown, the track team capped its brief season. It was a season of considerable success, with some fine tal- ents and a record of constant development. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL TEAM Buck Rau' DcVito Cuucl0. .Icckm Mogcr. Goulding, Gtrstcl.

Two easy victories over East Haven High School and Hamden High School by identical 70-7 scores were followed by the first real 0p- position in Lawrenceville School. Toby Mussman and Carl Vitez were double Winners in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle arid the 200 freestyle and 200 individual medley, respectively. Captain John Finch took the 100 By in 21 fine 259.0 and Gordon Smith placed first in the dive. Flip Stevens and Gerry Stevens cemented the 67-19 victory with wins in the 100 back and 100 breast. The Brown freshmen fell next, 68-9. Vitez copped the 200 free in 2203.6 while Mussman grabbed the 50 and 100 freestyle events again. Before exams the Bullpup mermen polished off Hillhouse High School by the maximum, 70-7. Fred Issac had a fast 224.0 clocking in the 50 free. Following the break, the team won a triangular meet from Hotchkiss and Hill: Yale, 869Hi11, 50-Hotchkiss, 25. Finch did a 259.6 in the 100 Hy, Vitez a 2222.6 in the 200 individual medley, and Flip Stevens stroked :1 1201.5 in the 100 back to set new pool records. The following week, the record breakers turned on Williston Academy. Finch and Vitez were the pace setters again as the former came home in 1200.1 for the 100 fly and the latter turned in .1 2219.5 for the 200 individual medley. Mussman took both sprints again and Smith captured the dive with ease. Hopkins Grammar and Suffleld Academy were the next to fall in a triangular meet. The Yalies ran up 86 points to Hopkins' 37 and Suffieldts 26. Pat Thompson took the 200 free in his best time of the year and Jack Smart was impressive on the one meter board. Swimming before a packed Dillon Pool, the Bullpups overpowered an undefeated Princeton squad, 52-43. Jim Gaver took the 220 and 440 freestyle events while Smith outclassed 2111 divers from the three meter board. Flip Stevens swam 21 beautiful 200 back and won in 2219.2. Vitez set a Yale freshman record as he took the 200 indi- vidual medley in 2217.9, and Mussman took the 100 free in :53.7. The Springfield frosh pro- vided Harry Burkeis men with their 10th victory as they fell, 59-18. Bob Milbrath took the 100 breast in 1213.0 in this meet. In the grand finale of the season, the Yale freshmen fought off a determined Harvard con- tingent to gain a 59-36 win and with it the Big Three championship. The 400 yard medley relay 0f Flip Stevens, Jerry Stevens, Bob Kirkwood, and Fred Issac took the Harvards in the first event. Mussman was a double winner for the fourth time in the eleven meets as he took the 50 and 100 freestyle sprints in 224.0 and 253.2, respectively. Smith was in fine form as he took the dive, and Flip Stevens won the 200 back with Bev Head second. In the 200 breast, Jerry Stevens set a new Yale frosh record as he came home in a fine 2236.0 to add a little frosting to the already very successful season. . gig: SQUASH THE 1963 squash team completed a brilliant undefeated season under Coach John F . Skill- man, Jr. The teams winning record of nine wins and no losses is only partly indicative of its per- formance, for of the nine victories seven of them eall except the first and last matches-were shut- outs. In all, out of 73 individual matches during the season, only live were dropped. Captain Bob Hetherington, who was also freshman soccer cap- tain and is ranked second in Junior Division squash in the nation, George West, with a rank- ing of third, and Fred Smith never lost a game. Ralph Howe, first on the team and in the nation lost only two games while winning all of his matches. The Bullpup squad of Howe, Captain Hether- ington, West, Smith, Charley Frank, Bill Green- wood, Kippy Clark, Peter Dominick, Kelly Mc- Clintock, Eric Godshalk, and Joe Robie was un- leashed against Choate January 13. That the vic- tory was only 5-2 must be ascribed to first- match jitters. Next Haverford and Andover were blanked 7-0. In one busy week Wesleyan, Williams, and Dartmouth freshman teams were all smothered 9-0. On February 20 the Princeton tiger cubs were tamed, again 9-0. Two days later Episcopal Academy was downed 7-0. The Harvard match promised some competi- tion at last, but Yale won 6-3. Frank, Clark, whose every game went to deuce, and McClin- tock all were defeated in exciting five-game matches. A post-season scuttle with the varsity, Howe Brothers excluded, was the team's only Waterloo, as it fell 6-3. Hetherington, West, and Frank gained victories in a losing cause, while Varsity Coach John F. Skillrnan, Sr. smashed arch-rival Freshman Coach John F . Skillman, Jr., meanwhile drooling over next year's varsity prospects. HOCKEY SCORING a total of 92 points this season, the freshman hockey team wound up with an 11-4 record. Unfortunately two of the defeats were to Ivy rivals Princeton and Harvard. Most of the games were played against high schools in the Connecticut area. The season opened with an easy win over XVest Haven, 10-1. The team travelled to Hanover and engaged Dartmouth in an exciting match. With a one point lead in the third period, the Bull- pups added an insurance goal to sew the game up, 4-2, after the Green pulled their goalie out in the closing minutes of the game. Against Taft the team put forth the worst showing of the sea- son and went down to a 6-1 defeat. Settling down to better hockey, they beat Hope High School, 5-3 and Kent, 5-2. After exams the pucksters played host to St. Marks. Trailing after the second period, the Pups put on a determined spurt to win, 5-3. The next day Amity fell Victim to the Elis, 10-1 followed by Hamden, 9-2. At St. Paul's, the squad suffered its second defeat, being blanked 3-0 in a hard- fought game. Returning to Ingalls Rink, the Bull- pups regained their winning form, beating Brown, 9-6, the University of Pennsylvania, 13-4, and Wilbur Cross, 13-1. Then came one of the big- gest games of the season, the contest against Princeton. Although a very close game going into the third period, Princeton's depth proved too much as they went on to a 6-2 victory. The match against Burrilleville proven to be :1 slow one, and the Freshman pucksters just managed a 3-1 win. The squad travelled to Harvard for the last game of the season. However, as in the Prince- ton game, Harvardis depth proved to be the de- ciding factor, and they took the game, 7-3. The season record, though not outstanding, was a considerable achievement. The team was contin- ually plagued by injuries which necessitated re shuflling of the lineup. Leading the team this season were Steve Gun- ther with 20 goals and 18 assists, Bill Hilde- brand with 16 goals and 17 assists, Lea Pendle- ton with 13 goals and 10 assists, and Nat Kings- bury with 12 goals and 14 assists. Outstanding defensive work was provided by Benno Schmidt. Larry Gwin, Dyke Andrus, and Barclay Howe with fine goal tending by Pete Countryman. 318 , . 4 , 'f' . . a , .4. .k FRESHMAN SWIMMING TEAM Buck Razt' Burkc Coucm, P. Stevens. Gavan.

F EN CING THE relative inexperience of the Bullpups com- bined with the exceptionally high calibre of the opposition to give the Freshman fencers a losing season. Virtually all of the twenty-five men on the second squad saw action. Only four, how- ever, had fenced before. The season was one of gradual but steady im- provement. The Riverdale School handed the Freshmen their first defeat by the score of 18-9. New York University, the strongest team faced by the swordsmen, trounced Yale 22-5. Peren- nially strong Columbia vanquished the Bullpups 21-6 on February 13. Rutgers followed with a de- cisive 18-9 win. But by this time, the squad was showing a strong team effort. This improvement was evidenced in the close 16-11 loss to Prince- ton. The continual drilling and training finally paid off against Harvard. The Cantabs dominated the foil competition, but, largely because of the strong effort of Bob Dickie, Yale tied the score 12-12 in the sabre division. Then the epee con- tingent of Tilson, Vietor, and Schocket clinched this last match with three key victories, thus, de- feating Harvard 15-12. Led throughout the year by Captain Dickie, who turned in consistently fine performances, the squad did not crystallize until the final two matches. The powerful epee team was the most regular winner. Coach Albert Grasson should pro- vide the varsity with four good fencers in Vietor, Schocket, Tilson, and Dickie. SKIING HIS year marked the first time in history that Yale has had a recognized freshman ski team. Since the freshman ski team was an entirely new organization, it was impossible for them to com- pete with many of the established eastern colle- giate teams whose schedules are set up long be- fore the winter season. However, the team was able to compete together once, and as individuals, several times. The team raced near the end of January in the St. Michael's Class B Championship Car- nival. They were the only freshman team en- tered in that meet and competed against the var- sities of Colby, St. Michael, Paul Smith, Harvard, and Yale. The last of the above varsities became slightly upset when the freshman team came very close to defeating them, failing to do so chiefiy because of lack of depth in four events. An out- standing performance was turned in by Pete Becket, who completed the longest jump of the day, placing second in that event. For the remainder of the season, the ski teamis two class B', racers, Randy Ryan and Willy Nordhaus, frequently placed in the top ten of USEASA races. At Bellaire they dominated all competition by placing first and second in the downhill and also high up in the giant slalom. Together, they turned in very respectable times at subsequent races at North Conway, Middlebury, Pico Peak, and Wildcat. Sandy Noyes and Reu- ben Rich also competed with the team. The freshman ski team can be proud of its achievements, and next year's varsity can expect to receive a line group of skiers. RIFLE HIS year, for the first time, Yale had a fresh- man rifie team. The twelve member squad was ably coached by MTSgt. Silva of the Yale Army ROTC. The team record, while nothing sensa- tional, represented a considerable first effort for a largely inexperienced group. In their first matches of the year, the riflemen defeated Quinipiac College, Notre Dame High School, and The Choate School. After losing by a handicap score to North Haven, they came back to again beat Choate. At the West Point tourna- ment, the freshmen took fourth place in their di- vision. They then lost a match with Fair Haven High School. In New London they competed in the Coast Guard Invitational Tournament and the NRA Sectional Intercollegiate and Individual Matches. Failure of the Yale second team, composed mainly of freshmen, to place was attributed to inexperience. Bob Hanson, however, turned in a fine individual performance for the Freshmen, firing a 283. After dropping a match to Hamden Hall, the Yale team shot its best score of the year, but Hamden High's performance proved too much to beat, and the freshman lost their last match by a mere two points. The high shooters for the year were Bob Han- son, Captain Russ Fries, and Bill Seawright. The other members of the team, Basil Cox, Nash Gubelman, Don McCrann, Pete Mafiitt, Dick Moore, Hartley Smith, and Steve Smith, winner of the Intra-tearn Captain's Match, have equally good potential and should make a fine contribu- tion to next year's varsity. 320 FRESHMAN FENCING TEAM Burk Rmr-Grasson CoacM Rosefsky, Nankin.

Telephone LO 2-3157 336 What Does A Yearbook Mean? For you, a yearbook means memories. Throughout your life it will help you recall old friends and relive the good times of your student days. And for your publishers, too, a yearbook means something special. As former members of yearbook staffs, we bring to our professional duties a deep personal interest in the goals of a yearbook editor, as well as a real under- standing of his many problems. To this we add more than a quarter-century of experience publishing many scores of school and college yearbooks. But what we offer you is more than balanced by what you give to usethe happiness of sharing in student projects, the delight of finding each year new and younger friends.
