REVEREND REMSEN BRINCKERHOFF OGILBY

PRESIDENT OF TRINITY COLLEGE

1920 - 1943

HE OFFERED TO OUR COLLEGE THE SUBSTANCE OF LIFE

THIS TABLET IS GIVEN IN HIS MEMORY

BY THE TRUSTEES AND FACULTY

Editor's Note: The memorial on the front page was dedicated

last fall, and is located near the main entrance of the Chapel.

The architect of the Chapel, Mr. Philip H. Froman, designed it,

and Lew Wallace did the carving. Professor James A. Notopoulos

wrote the Latin inscription. It is interesting to note the word "rem"

may mean spiritual substance or material substance. It is also a

very felicitous pun on Dr. Ogilby's nickname. Certainly Dr. Ogilby

will be remembered to hundreds of Trinity men for his spiritual

leadership; the physical growth under his presidency, and for his

wonderful personality.

President's Message Trinity's war effort is over on the campus, but a look out my window

constantly reminds one of its effect. Men in uniform are streaming into the Dean's office seeking admission, and by next fall we should be close to our pre-war enrollment.

Over fifteen hundred Trinity men in the armed services risked their lives all over the world, and deserve the gratitude of their college as well as their country. Especially should we alumni remember the fifty-seven men listed below who have made the supreme sacrifice. Their spirit will ever remain here. We can assure you that the College is dedicated to doing its utmost to help the world profit by the sacrifice that they have made.

As soon as possible it is our intention to publish a memorial booklet telling of their lives. Plans are being made to erect on campus a suitable memorial so that their names will be an inspiration to the coming College generations, and will be perpetuated at the College they loved.

Administrative Assistant

JOHN A. MASON

It is a great pleasure for me to return to Trinity College as Administrative Assistant. My duties will consist of publishing the Alumni News, College publications and bro, chures, publicity, and any other duties President Funston shall assign.

After graduating from Trinity in .1934 I worked six years for Raymond Whitcomb, Inc., the tourist agency, in Boston, wi~h their foreign and sales departments. Dunng the war I was Assistant Personnel Manager and Personnel Manager of The Hadley Special Tool Co., Brighton, Mass., manufacturers of machine gun sights and rifle parts.

Through the years my connection with the College has been close through the Board of Fellows and as President of the Boston. Alumni. I have, however, much to learn about the various departments, undergraduate activities, and this magazine. The previous editors Tom Wadlow and Bard McNulty, have s~t a high standard. I hope to mait?-t~in it, and I shall give my very best to Tn~·uty in this new job. I welcome your suggestiOns and criticisms.

Mr. Brainard has also stated that the following schedule of events is being arranged in connection with the ceremony:

Registration of delegates

Buffet luncheon for delegates and guests of the College in Cook Dining Hall

The Academic procession forms in Alumni Hall

Inauguration Exercises in the College Chapel

Reception and tea in Cook Lounge

T. S. Wadlow, Alumni Secretary, has been appointed Inaugural Marshal, and in turn has appointed the following as members of the Marshal's Committee: Dr. Arthur Adams, Dr. Louis H. Naylor, Prof. Harold J. Lock; wood, Dr. Frederick C. Copeland, Dr. J. Bard McNulty and Mr. John A. Mason.

This Committee will be in complete charge of all arrangements excepting the actual Inauguration Exercises within the Chapel.

Invitations to the Exercises will be mailed to all Trustees, faculty members, delegates, certain church officials, certain state executive officers and Judges, friends and benefactors of the Col; lege, honorary Alumni of the Hartford area, and prominent Trinity Alumni. Mr. Wadlow regrets that it will not be possible to invite more than a total of 600 persons since this is the largest number that can be seated in the College Chapel.

Fraternities At a meeting of the Sword and Key

Society on January II it was unanimously voted to reopen the campus fraternities on February 4. J t was agreed that rushing of members of the Sword and Key Society who have not fraternity connections will take place the week of February II th. A quota will be determined - probably five or six men for each house. The rushing rules are to be drawn up by the Executive Committee of Sword and Key and shall be approved by the Graduate Interfraternity Council and the College Administration. All rushing is to take place on campus.

It was also voted that the Interfraternity Council be revived, and that it consist of one undergraduate and one graduate from each house.

No meals will be served in the houses, and living quarters will not be opened until the Interfraternity Council and the College ap; prove. Rushing of men who come this Feb; ruary and of those who were not members of Sword and Key will take place at a date and under rules to be set by the Interfrater; nity Council.

These regulations should eliminate many of the "cut throat" evils and permit all fraternities an even chance.

Coaching Trip Last September Ray Oosting and Dan

Jessee were named by the War Department as consultants for the 8th Army Coaching School to build up morale and to organize athletic programs among the troops in the Pacific. Dan taught football and Ray in; structed basketball. Other teachers were Fred Fitzsimmons - baseball; Ed Kennedy of Columbia - swimming; Marty Gallagher of Georgetown - boxing; and Eli Marsh of Amherst - courses in athletic administration.

At each camp they would stay two weeks and teach about 100 officers how to adminis; ter athletic programs, schedules, training, etc. Besides the sports mentioned, archery, badminton, handball, horseshoes, soccer, soft; ball, table tennis, touch football and volley ball were taught. Much appreciation of this work has been voiced by Army officials in the Philippines and Japan, for these schools laid out a sound athletic program to help while away the long hours.

CIVIC TESTIMONIAL DINNER

CLEVELAND, OHIO

jANUARY 10, 1946

Having long since bestowed upon you, its most illustrious Alumnus and Trustee, all the honors within its power to extend, Trinity College on this splendid occasion can only express once again its deep pride in your achieve~ ments and its gratefulness for your interest in and generosity towards your Alma Mater.

Ever since your graduation in 1877, your example of business enterprise and ability, of financial and industrial statesmanship, of community leader~ ship, deep religious devotion, and generous philanthropy has been an inspiration to generations of Trinity men everywhere and to five Presidents of the College. More than any other man in the long history of Trinity College, you have left your imprint on our institution - an imprint as enduring as the high standards which have been molded by the leadership in educational and administrative matters, which you have provided for almost forty years as a Trustee, an imprint as enduring as the beautiful Gothic Chapel which you have caused to be raised, and which will forever be the focal point of the College.

For all these things the Trustees and the Faculty of Trinity College, and Trinity men everywhere, revere you; and are proud to join with the great City of Cleveland not only in congratulating you on your past accom~ plishments, but also in congratulating ourselves for a stimulating associa~ tion which will continue in the days to come.

Meeting of Class Agents and Alumni Presidents

On November 3, 1945, forty~five Trinity Men, Class Agents and Presi~ dents of Alumni Associations (see picture above), met to plan the current Alumni Fund Drive.

After hearing a message from President Funston about the financial condition of the College, it was decided that the most important project would be to balance the College budget. The 1945~46 Alumni Fund, there~ fore, is a project to raise $40,000, which amount is considered the probable College deficit in June unless underwritten by the Alumni Association.

Tom Wadlow, Alumni Secretary, reports that the Fund now stands at $25,000 representing contributions from 470 Alumni.

If you have not yet mailed your contribution to the Alumni Secretary, please do so at your earliest convenience. The least we can do to help our new President get started is to show our loyalty to Trinity by contributing 100% .

Checks should be made payable to

Athletics This winter the basketball and swimming

teams have been meeting regular schedules under coaches Ralph Erickson and Joe Clarke. Ray Oosting will take charge of basketball after midyears. Handicapped by service calls and injuries, Ralph has had a difficult time to keep a team intact for any length of time. Although the team lost the first three games - two of them in overtime to Williams - it has shown good scoring power averaging 42 points a game. Doug Carter and George Linardos are the leading scorers.

Joe Clarke is depending on the Tyler brothers - Captain Dave, holder of the New England 100 and 220 yard titles, and Bob ­as mainstays of his swimming team. Bud Earle has improved steadily after being in service for three years. The team nosed out Coast Guard 39-36 and defeated Bowdoin 40-34. The Boston alumni will be particularly interested to know that a meet with Harvard at Cambridge on February 16 has been scheduled.

A baseball schedule for this spring is now being arranged and will be announced soon. It has been decided to wait until after mid­years to see whether there will be enough students interested in track and tennis before intercollegiate competition is scheduled. There will be the usual intermural athletic program this spring between the fraternities.

The 1946 football schedule has run into some difficulties in arranging opponents, but games with Bates, Middlebury, Hobart, Wil­liams and Wesleyan are definitely booked, and it is hoped one or two more teams may be secured.

T

Undergraduate News The Alumni will be glad to know that

many of the student activities have been resumed. The IVY is in process of preparation and will be issued in the spring. One of the jESTERS, Tom Egan, is writing a play, and if there is sufficient interest after midyears a production will be scheduled.

The PoLITICAL SciENCE CLUB has had three excellent meetings. A. E. Holland, '34, who has returned to get his degree, is Presi ...

dent. He told the Society of his four year experience in Santo Tomas Prison, Philip­pines. Dr. Liu, head of the Chinese Speakers Bureau, and Dr. R. Opie, Counsellor of the British Embassy in Washington, were the other speakers.

The SENATE is planning a formal dance on the Washington Birthday weekend. The SEABURY SociETY has had one meeting at which the Rev. Raymond Cunningham, '07, spoke.

The SwoRD AND KEY SociETY will pro­bably disband in February and in its place the INTERFRATERNITY CouNCIL will operate.

The TRINITY CLUB under the direction of Harvey Katz has had several meetings. The TRIPOD with Edward Butler, Editor, and a staff of twenty assistants is published bi­weekly.

Considering the small student body this is an excellent start, and it is expected that after midyears these organizations will be­come more active and that others will reopen .

T

Alumni News R. George Almond, '24, President of the

Boston Alumni Association, has announced that the next meeting of Boston Alumni will take place at the Harvard Club Thursday, April 25. President Funston will be the guest of honor and there will be other speakers from the College and from the Boston Alumni Group.

Over 150 Hartford Alumni met at the University Club January 18 to honor Presi­dent Funston who was the principal speaker. The other speakers included Ray Oosting and Dan Jessee of the Athletic Depart­ment, and Tom Wadlow, Alumni Secretary. Acting President Nelson A. Shepard, '21 , was in charge of the meeting until it was taken over by the new President, Harmon T. Barber, '19. Other officers elected were as follows: Vice Presidents- Edwin J. Donnelly, '08 and Charles T. Kingston, '34; Secretary­Treasurer - James D. Cosgrove, '35. Nelson A.
