ALMA MATER "'NEATH THE ELMS"

'Neath the elms of our old Trinity, 'Neath the elms of our dear old Trinity,

Oh it's seldom we'll meet, In the moonlight so sweet

'Neath the elms of our old Trinity.

College days are from care and sorrow free, And oft will we seek in memory

Those days that are past, Far too joyous to last,

'Neath the elms of our old Trinity.

'Neath the elms of our old Trinity, 'Neath the elms of our dear old Trinity,

No more shall we meet, Our classmates to greet,

'Neath the elms of our old Trinity.

FIGHT TRINITY

Fight Trinity, Keep up the fight for fame and glory,

Fight Trinity, We pledge our strength and loyalty,

Keep fighting, Old Blue and Gold,

Shall ever flaunt the skies in victory, Raise your voice and shout the praise of Trinity!

TO TRINITY COLLEGE STUDENTS The Trinity College Handbook this year combines in one convenient manual all

the information previously contained in the Pamphlet of College Regulations, Fresh­mao Handbook, and The Interfraternity Handbook. We hope that this innovation will prove useful to the college community and that it will serve throughout the whole year as a point of reference for the many questions that arise concerning the various campus oragoizatioos, and thei r officers, the academic, social and athletic calendars, The College Regulations, and the Fraternity Rushing rules.

THE EDITORIAL STAFF

TO THE CLASS OF 1961 It is a privilege to welcome you to Trinity College. hope sincerely that your

years "'Neath the Elms" will mean much to you. It is our dedicated purpose to see that they do. You are entering a college that has a fine tradition of education in the liberal arts; a college that over the years has aimed to turn out intelligent, enlightened citizens and leaders of our country, a college with a learned and distinguished faculty intensely interested in the welfare of each student; a college that believes in your in­tellectual , physical and spiritual development. Our curriculum and the life at the College have been carefully planned to provide you with the finest training and edu­cation.

You alone, however, can determine how meaningful will be your years at Trinity. You will learn that real values in life are gained only following hard and serious work. I urge that you devote your best efforts to your class work; that you take an active part in the extra-curricular activities which are described in this booklet. In this way you will become an integral part of Trinity College.

We proudly welcome your class. We have high expectations for you. Live up to them . To each and every one of you I extend my very best wishes for good luck and success.

ALBERT C. JACOBS

On behalf of the Comm ittee on Admissions may I extend you a warm welcome to Trinity College.

In the early weeks of your freshman year you will be confronted with wholly different situations and you will experience entirely new adjustments. It is our sincerest hope, though, that above all e lse you develop the full awareness of your purpose for being here. A liberal education, which Trinity will help you to achieve, will fit you for meeting the broad spectrum of responsibilities in a life's experience, and we urge you to take advantage of the oppo rtunities offered by the College to achieve the worthy goals you have set for yourself.

In selecting you for admission as a Freshman, the College has had to deny many young men the chance of becoming members of the Trinity family. Since it is a privil ege to have woo your places in the class, it is well to remember that you have a real responsibility to your former schools, to your families , and most of all to your­selves- a responsibility to acco mplish a level of work which is commensurate with your abilities and to partake actively in the life of the College to further its success. Only through your sincerest and best efforts will you achieve the rewards of your undergraduate years.

We desire to be of service to you in your freshman year, and if you feel we can assist you, we hope you will not hesitate to come to our office to discuss your work or any problems you face. It is our hope that your freshman year is a most promising one, and we wish you much success and happiness throughout your years at Trinity.

THE COLLEGE

Trinity College (called Washington College until 1845), was founded in 1823 upon the petition of "sundry inhabitants of the State of Connecticut, of the denomina­tion of Christians call ed the Protestant Episcopal Church." Although Trinity College was founded by a church group, its charter was one of the first to state that the ordi­nances of the College "shall not make the religious tenets a condition of admission to any privilege in the said college." Thus Trinity was a leader in the fight for religious tolerance.

The first President of the College was the Rt. Rev. Thomas Church Brownell, Bishop of Connecticut. In the first year there were nine students.

Originally, the Coll ege buildings were located on the site now occupied by the State Capitol. The College was moved to its present location in 1878, when Jarvis Hall and Seabury Hall were completed.

Since its founding, the College has had only fourteen presidents. Famous among these is Bishop Williams who served as President, Vice-Chancellor and Chancellor from 1848 to 1899. The longest term as President was that of Dr. Remsen B. Ogilby who was head of the College from 1920 until his death in 1943. The only living past president (1944-51) is G. Keith Funston, now President of the New York Stock Ex­change. It is also interesting to note that President Jacobs is the third layman to be President of Trinity.

If you start at the Chapel and walk West towards Summit Street the first building you pass is Williams Memorial. This building contains the offices of the President, the Vice President and Directo r of D evelopment, the D eans, the Treasurer, the D ean of Graduate Studies and Summer School, the Alumni Secretary, the Director of Placement, the Property Manager, and D epartments of Admissions, Public Relations and Central Services.

Turning left in front of Williams Memorial you have the first seven sections of Jarvis Hall (187R), then Northam Towers (1881), and finally the section of Seabury Hall (1878). Jarvis Hall and Northam Towers are dormitories for upperclassmen.

Seabury Hall contains a number of classrooms, the P.O., the Union Bookstore, faculty offices and a lounge for day. students.

Continuing down the walk you wi ll find at the South end of the Quadrang le the Hamlin Dining Hall and Cook Lounge. In the basement of this building is the " Cave", containing a small cafeteria and soda fountain. Upstairs are the Cook-A Dormitories and the College Guest Room. The southern extremity of this building is occupied by the Medical office and the Infirmary.

Adjoining this building and forming the south side of the Quadrangle are Cook-B and Cook-C Dormitories, Woodward D ormitory and Lounge, and Goodwin Dormi­tory. The Chemistry Building, considered one of the best equipped in the country, adjo ins Goodwin and includes the College Auditorium .

Passing through the Bancroft Arch, which separa tes Goodwin D ormitory from the Chemistry Building, you w ill find in front of you Boardman H all which contains the Museum of Natural History and th e laboratories and classrooms of the Departments of Biology, Geology, Mathemati cs, Drawing and Psychology. To the right are the Freshman Dormitori es, The N ew Dorm (1953) and Elton Hall , built during the 125th Anniversary Development Prog ram of the College.

To your left is Jarvis Laboratory in which are the classrooms and laboratories of the Physics Department.

Behind Jarvis Laboratory is the H allden Engineeri ng Laboratory, the gift of Karl W. Hallden of the Class of 1909. Recently the Laboratory was enlarged by an addi­tion of two classrooms and more laboratory space.

Still farther to your left are the tennis courts and , in the southeast corner of the campus, Trowbridge Memorial. Trowbridge houses the swimming pool and the six championship squash courts. Adjoining the eastern end of Trowbridge is the new Field H ouse which provides facilities for many indoor sports.

The college's new million dollar library, located adjacent to the Chemistry Build­ing, houses Tri nity 's valuable collection, the scholarly 130,000 volume Watkinson Coll ection, and the R.O.T.C. offices.

Coming back through the Bancroft Arch across the campus towards the Chapel, you will find on your right the Mall , the statue of Bishop Brownell and the athletic fie lds.

The Chapel is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in the United States. The rose window, the stained glass window over the altar, the carvings, the Chapel of Perfect Friendship, and the Cyrpt Chapel are all worth careful study.

Between the Chapel and Wi ll iams Memoria l, set back towards Vernon Street, you will see the construction work on the new D ownes Memorial Clock Tower with its terminal structure to house administrative offices connecting it with Williams Memo­rial, and a cloister connecting it with the Chapel.

Beyond the Chapel towards Vernon Street is Alumni Hall, which contains the gymnasium for intramura l sports.

At the corner of V ernon and Summit Streets is Ogilby Hall , a dormitory and din­ing ha ll. The fraternity houses, with one exception, are also located on Vernon Street.

HARTFORD Capito l and largest city of Connecticut, county seat and center of a chartered

metropolitan district, Hartford is situated midway between New York and Boston. It is at the head of navigation on the Connecticut River, against which it is protected by dikes.

Started as a D utch trading post in 1623, Hartford was founded in 1636 by Thomas Hooker and his fo llowers from Massachusetts. The Fundamental Orders adopted by the Hartford Colony in 1639, the first instrument of its kind in modern history, was the model for the federal Constitution. The city was incorporated in 1784. Its present form of government, starting January 1, 1948, is council-manager.

In the evolution from an agricultural to an industrial economy, Hartford was the scene of the early experiments in interchangeability of parts that laid the foundations of modern American industry, and ultimately made the community a recognized center for precision manufacturing.

Concerning transportation, Hartford is served by the New Haven Railroad. Bradley Field, just north of the City, offers excellent connections to major cities. There is bus service to all nearby cities from the Railroad Station.

Hartford has four broadcasting stations, two television stations and two daily newspapers. Telephone service is supplied by SNET. Western Union also has offices located in the city.

The city has 27 parks, aggregating 2,700 acres. Widely known is Elizabeth Park's Rose Garden. The city maintains two municipal golf courses of 27 and 18 holes respectively. There are six golf courses (private and commercial) in Metropolitan Hartford and three others close by.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Placement Bureau

The office of Mr. Butler, D irector of the Placement 'Bureau, is in Williams Memo­ria l. The D irector ho lds periodic interviews with the student throughout his college career to encourage him in th inki ng about possible choices of careers after graduation. A "Career Counseling" prog ram is sponsored by this office. This program consists of a series of meetings for seniors and all undergraduates, with speakers from such fields as industry, insurance, advertising, merchandising, State D epartment, etc. The purpose

5

of these meetings is to provide the students with information as to necessary qualifica­tions, what may be expected in their chosen careers, and at the same time eliminate misinformation. These meetings are small and informal so as to provide a maximum of discussion. The Placement Bureau is in contact with many firms throughout the country and arranges recruiting visits by these companies to the campus.

Students interested in part-time or summer employment may register in the Place­ment Office. A number of part-time jobs are available on the campus, such as dining hall waiters, messengers, clerical office workers, and reference workers in the library, but upperclassmen have priority on these jobs. Some part-time jobs are avail<~ble in the City of Hartford, and the Placement Office serves as a liaison agent between stu­dents and employers. However, it is believed that the average Freshman should not expect to take upon himself much in the way of employment, so as to maintain his studies satisfactorily.

Freshman Adviser

The Adviser to the Freshman Class is Mr. Smith. His offices are in Williams Memorial. He supervises the twenty-one member faculty Freshman Advisory Council which acts as representative for the Class. Freshmen meet with their advisers in September to go over their courses of study, and during the year at regular intervals.

Junior Advisors

Each year a faculty committee selects a number of men from the Sophomore Class to serve as Junior Advisors during their Junior year in College. These men live in the dormitories with you and their purpose is to help you over the "rough spots" in getting adjusted to college life. The Junior Advisors for 1957-1958 are: Robert A. Brian, Curtis K. Case, Edward S. Dubel, Jacob W. Edwards, Frank Fineshriber, John S. Foster, Mark D. Healy, Paul D. Hersch, Phillip D. Jacklin, Jr., William C. John­son, Jr., Stephen Kellogg, John E. Kenney, Howe Lagarde, Jr., William F. Mannion, Fred A. Mauck, Myles McDonough, Herbert H. Moorin, Jerald E. Olson, Robert M. Olton, Ronald L. Reopel , Robert E. Scharf, Karl Scheibe, Donald E. Seastrom, Bren­don Shea, Robert A. Smith, and C. Jon Widing.

Veterans' Counselor

Mr. Candelet is the Veterans' Counselor, and all inquiries regarding the Veterans' Administration and other veterans' problems should be handled through his office in Williams Memorial.

Matriculation

The privilege of membership in the College body is extended to undergraduates after they have demonstrated by at least a semester's attendance at the College that they can meet the standards of Trinity men, both scholastically and in their personal conduct. Formal acceptance of new students who qualify for membership in the College is performed annually in February in the historic Matriculation Service.

At this service, each new member of the College takes the following Matricula­tion Oath: "I promise to observe the Statutes of Trinity College, to obey all its Rules and Regulations; to discharge faithfully all scholastic duties imposed upon me, and to maintain and defend all the rights, privileges, and immunities of the College, accord­ing to my station and degree in the same."

College Regulations

Upon registration, each new student is given a copy of this handbook which con­tains the Trinity College Regulations. The Regulations contained herein pertain to Enrollment, Attendance, Conduct of Students, Penalties, Grading, Degrees and Stand­ing. It is expected that all members of the College community will abide by these Regulations.

The Library

The Library is open daily during term time Monday th rough Friday from 8:30 A.M. to 10 :00 P .M. On Saturday it is open from 8:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., and on Sunday from 2 to 10 P.M.

Wherever people live together, each individual must learn to respect the rights of other individuals and to moderate his own conduct with a view toward the wel­fare of the community as a whole. The patterns of social cond uct developed within each society are sometimes unwritten proprieties and customs. Others are written down and called regulations or laws. Society sets up courts to judge conduct and imposes penalties for societal misconduct. This is true in a society composed of a family, a religion, a ci ty, or a nation. It is just as necessary within the community of a college.

Since Trinity College is attempting to promote the intellectual and moral growth of its students so that they will become self-reliant, responsible and enlightened ci ti­zens and leaders of democracy, there is double significance in the community rules of the College. First, the rights of all the individuals in the community must be pro· tected from violation by any individual or minority. Second, there is an educational va lue in developing in students the same responsibility and self-restraint which they must demonstrate throughout life if they are to become good citizens.

Trinity attempts to develop in each student a sense of personal responsibility for good order not only in the classroom, but also in his general attitud e and standard of co nduct on the campus. Students are expected to behave as gentlemen and reliable citizens of the community. Every effort is made to stimulate studen ts to honest, co nscientious effort; but the College is not wi lling to undertake the prob lem of disciplining a student who is not in sympathy with its purpose. If a student refuses to cooperate w ith College authorities, either stud ent, faculty, or administrative, the College specifica lly reserves the righ t to dismiss him wi thout making definite charges whenever in its judgment the genera l welfare seems to demand such action .

7

COLLEGE GOVERNMENT

The Statutes of the College assign responsibility for conduct of students to the Faculty which administers this responsibility through a Committee on Administration, the D ean, and the D ean of Students. Every effort is made to encourage the students to govern themselves and to assume greater responsibility in the conduct of their affairs. To this end, certain responsibilities for dealing with offenses against regu­lations or against law and order have been delegated to student government as follows:

SENAT E: The Senate, the elected representatives of the Student Body, acting on behalf of all the students of Trinity College shall control all funds as allocated to it by the Administration, supervise student extracurricular activities, and maintain a high level of conduct among the students of the College. It bas the authority to deal with violations, subject to the policies and regulations established by the Faculty and its Committee on Administration. Any student subject to one of the major forms of discipline (censure, suspension, dismissal, or expulsion) may appeal to the Senate if he feels an injustice is being done. Such an appeal must be made in writing with­in forty-eight hours of the notification of sentence.

MEDUSA: The Medusa, the Senior Honorary Society, is responsible for the maintenance of college traditions and by agreement with the Senate is responsible for the enforcement of college regulations. Penalties involving suspension, dismissal, or expulsion must receive the approval of the Dean of Students or the Faculty Committee on Administration before becoming final.

INTER-DORMITORY COUNCIL: The Inter-dormitory Council, composed of representatives of the various entry ways and floors in the dormitories, works closely with the Senate in handling all matters concerning conduct in the dormitories. It has no powers of punishment, other than admonition, but brings to the attention of the Medusa incidents of violation of college rules or gentlemanly conduct. The Council also brings to the Senate suggestions and recommendations for the betterment of con­ditions in the dormitories and in the College in general.

THE INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL: The purpose of this Council is (1) to promote amicab le relationships among fraternities at Trinity, and (2) to promote the standards expressed in the Fraternity Criteria promulgated by the National Inter­fraternity Conference.

JUNIOR ADVISORS: Approximately twenty-six carefully selected members of the Junior class are assigned to the Freshman dormitories. These men live with the Freshmen and attempt, in a friendly manner through personal contact, to help them with their personal problems and with their adjustment to college life.

STUDENT REGULATIONS

It is assumed that a Trinity student will at all times conduct himself in a way that will be a credit to his family and to his College. The following rules and regula­tions cover specific situations and all students are asked to familiarize themselves with them.

Unmarried students not residing with their parents or guardian must live in buildings owned or controlled by the College and must board only in such places as are approved by the President. Petitions for exceptions to this rule may be sub­mitted to the D ean of Students and may be approved for periods not exceeding one year.

Gambling is forbidden .

Intoxication and disorderly conduct resulting from the use of alcoholic beverages are particu larly serious offences and may result in dismissal from College. The con­suming or bringing on college property of any alcoholic beverage, liquor, beer, or wine is prohibited except that beer and wine may be served by an authorized group for a particular occasion approved in writing in advance by the Committee on Student Organizations. College publications may not carry liquor advertising. Beer and wine advertising may be carried by the Tripod, Ivy, and Review, but not by the College Handbook or College Radio Station.

The penalty for a first instance of cheating in academic work shall be the required dropping of the course in which the cheating occurred or suspension from college for a period of time to be determined by the Committee on Administration or both. A second offense incurs a mandatory sentence of required withdrawal without the privilege of return.

DORMITORIES

Rooms in the college buildings are assigned to students under the supervision of the Treasurer. Students must obtain the Treasurer's permission before moving from one room to another. Students moving during a semester from dormitories to fra­ternity houses or to other locations (permission must be obtained from the D ean of Students to move off campus while still in attendance) will not receive any refund of their dormitory rent unless prior arrangements have been made with the Treasurer.

Freshmen are housed in dormitories reserved for their class. Other rooms are assigned on a priority system with seniors getting first choice, juniors second, and sophomores third choice.

Each student is personally accountable for all improper conduct occurring in his room and is responsible both for damage done to his room and furniture and for damage which he may do, or participate in doing, to other property. College furni­ture may not be moved from one room to another without the permission of the Property Manager and each student is held accountable for the original furniture assigned to his room. Costs of damage to or loss of college property are charged to students in addition to appropriate penalties for misconduct.

Officers of the College or a member of the College Senate or Medusa may visit a room at any time for any examination which he thinks proper. Students must admit these authorized persons whenever requested to do so. Janitors are required to re­port any evidence of misconduct and damage to , or loss of, college property.

Women are not permitted in dormitories at any time except during "open house" or with the permission of the Dean or the Dean of Students. Violations of this renders the offender subject to dismissal. This regulation applies to relatives as well as others.

"Open House" will be held in the dormitories on Saturdays and Sundays from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. except after home football games when it wi ll be from immedi· ate ly after the game to 7:00 p.m. Women will be allowed in the Freshman Loungt on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Solicitors, canvassers, salesmen, peddlers, and unauthorized persons are not per­mitted to eoter the college buildings. tudents shou ld not negotiate with such persons or admit them to their room; but should report their presence to the watchman or an Officer of the College.

D ogs and other ani mals may not be kept in co ll ege buildings. Permission must be obtained from the D ean of Students to reside at the College

during vacation periods. D ormitory rooms are not ready for occupancy until the opening of Freshman Week in the Fall and must be vacated at the end of the exam­ination period in June except for Seniors who may remain until the day after Com­mencement.

9

Radios, phonographs, razors, and clocks may be operated in dormi tory rooms but special permission must be obtained from the Property Manager to operate or keep in the room other electrical appliances. The playing of musical instruments, phono­graphs, and radios should be done with generous regard for the privacy of others. Television sets may not be installed in D ormitory rooms.

No firearms, weapons, ammunition, or explosives may be brought or kept on College property.

City fire regulations prohibit the use of firep laces in dormitory rooms. Tamper­ing with lights or fire extinguishers is prohibited. A Connecticut State law prohibits smoking in bed.

Bicycles may not be brought or left in dormitory or classroom buildings, includ­ing basements. Adequate storage for them is provided outside. Arrangements for the storage of motorcycles may be made with the Property Manager.

Students who are locked out of their rooms may obtain another key from the night watchman upon payment of a 1.00 deposit which is refundable upon return of the key.

FRATERNITIES

The serving or consuming of liquor by any fraternity or on the premises of any fraternity during the week is forbidden . "During the week'' shall be construed to mean from Sunday through Friday inclusive, except during house party weekends when it shall mean between Sunday and Thursday inclusive. The drinking of beer and wine in moderation is permitted during the week. Liquor, beer, and wine may be served or consumed in moderation in the fraternity houses as noted above only when college is in session. There shall be no excessive drinking at any time.

The selling of liquor, beer, or wine without a license is forbidden by law. The selling of chits for the procurement of liquor, beer, or wine, is considered the same as selling the product and is illegal.

Women are permitted to enter fraternity houses only during authorized parties except that they may be entertained at the evening meal and at Sunday dinner with the permission of the President of the house who is responsible for the behavior on these occasions. At such times women must be out of the house no later than 8 p.m. except that on Saturdays of non-party weekends they may remain to 10:00 p .m. and on Sundays of house-party weekends to 9:00 p.m. In no case are women permitted in any fraternity house during vacation periods.

dance, or other social function, the head of the organization must submit to the Dean of Students, for his approval, a statement concerning p lans for conducting the affair, its nature and duration, and the names of the chaperones who have consented to serve. This is to be done on the official blank provided for that purpose.

All dances must be terminated not later than 1:00 a.m . The Faculty Committee shall approve the place where dances or parties are to

be held. There must be sufficient lighting in each room. No women are permitted upstairs in fraternity houses except to the ladies room,

or except when the upper floors are reserved exclusively for girls, or except when, to avoid overcrowding, bedrooms are converted into sitting rooms for the purpose of the party, in which case the approval of the college must be secured and the chaperone must be shown all rooms so converted and must be satisfied that all proprieties are being observed and that the use of such converted rooms is necessary and desirable.

Bars must close at midnight. All women must be out of the house no later than 15 minutes after official closing

time. On house party weekends all women sleeping in fraternity houses must be in the

house within a reasonable time after the dance and all men must be out of the house not later than 1:15 a.m.

Chaperones will be notified of the beginning and ending time of a party and it will be the duty of the organization to see that there are chaperones present at all times and until all guests have left the party. Married students or recent graduates are not acceptable as chaperones. Every effort should be made to secure Faculty members as chaperones. One couple will be adequate for chaperoning the average informal party; however, two couples are advisable, but not required, for the large house party weekends. At least one lady should remain overnight when girls sleep in the house.

The head of the organization must make himself known to the chaperones at the beginning of the evening and be prepared to do the chaperone's bidding at all times. It shall be the responsibility of the head of the organization to see that the rules of conduct are followed. However, the chaperones are expected to observe violations and take appropriation action. Chaperones have full right to end a party at any time they see fit if the situation warrants it.

At the close of each party it is the responsibility of the organization officers to persuade the departers to leave quietly and expeditiously. The chaperones should assist in this procedure. Men returning to dormitory rooms should show considera­tion of others by being as quiet as possible. The organization president is responsible for departure conduct outside the building as well as for the conduct of the party.

ENROLLMENT All students are required to register on or before the first day of the term. A

Students in regular standing are normally expected to take 15 hours each semester, exclusive of Physical Education. No student in regular standing is allowed to enroll in less than 12 or more than 22 semester hours. Du ring the Freshman Year the normal total is from 27 to 30 semester hours; properly qualified Freshmen may in­crease the number up to 36 semester hours. For each course in excess of five a fee must be paid. Instructors may enroll students in their classes only after notice that the enrollment has been completed. College credit will be allowed only for courses in which students are regularly enrolled.

Changes in electives ordinarily can be made only during the first four days of a term. Procedure for making changes is as follows: A. To drop a course, fill out a Change of Course card indicating the course to be

dropped and advisor's initials. Present the completed card to the D ean's Office. B. To add a course, fill out a Change of Course card indicating the course to be

added and advisor's and instructor's initials. Present the completed card to the D ean's Office. Regular students may, with the permission of the instructors , audit courses for

U nd ergraduates may not take courses in the Graduate division without special permission from the Director of the Graduate Schoo l and the Registrar.

UNEXCUSED ABSENCES Freshmen are permitted three unexcused Class absences per course during their

first semester. Those who comp leted five courses the first semester will be classified for the privilege of unexcused absence from class the second semester as follows:

Average grade of 85 or more: Class 1, "D ean's List," unlimited number of cuts . Average grade of 78 to 84, inclusive: Class 2, five cuts per course.

13

Average grade from 70 to 77, inclusive; Class 3, four cuts per course. Average grade below 70, except men on probation: Class 4, three cuts per course. Cut Probation: Class 5, two cuts per course. Academic Probation: Class 6, no unexcused class cuts. Freshmen who complete less than five courses are automatically put m Class

will be placed on "Academic Probation" for the next semester and wi ll be placed in cut classification 5 or 6. A student may be required to drop a course for excessive absences and faculty members may consider excess absences in computi ng grades.

No unexcused absences may be taken on the day of an announced test or exam­ination. Unexcused absences on the two days immediately preceding, and the two days immediately followi ng recesses and holidays are counted double. Tardiness or early egress may be reported by instructors as one-quarter, one-half, or a full absence.

Upperclassmen are permitted unlimited cuts from classes. However, they are held responsible for all the work of the course including examination, reports, papers and laboratory reports.

Absence privileges do not apply to attendance requirements for Chapel and Physical Education.

EXCUSED ABSENCES

In general, no excuse from class sessions will be granted except for illness or for other extraordinary reasons.

Applications for excuses, other than medical excuses, should be made to the D ean of Students in advance of the absence, since no absence may be excused unless notice is given at the beginning and end of absence.

Excuses for illness may be granted by the Medical D irector. In case of illness or injury, resident students should report to Seabury 24 between 8:30 and 10 a.m. or 1 and 2 p .m. for consultation with the Medical Director. Student Aides are stationed in the Infirmary to handle emergencies at other times. Non-resident students must notify the Medical Office of absence caused by illness at the beginning of the absence. This should be done by telephone (JA 7-1065) before 9 a.m. On the day of return and before attending class, a written notice of return must be left at the Medical Office on a blank form provided for this purpose. Within two weeks, a statement from physician or parent concerning the nature and duration of the illness must be presented. No excuse for illness may be granted for a period of Jess than one day.

Instructors may require any work omitted because of excused or unexcused absences to be made up. Absences incurred by non-payment of college bills are counted as unexcused absences unless excused by the D ean of Students.

In no case where the total number of medical excuses and cuts exceed six, or where more than three unexcused absences are taken, will credit be given.

Students overcutting a term of Physical Education shall be placed on "Warning." Eligibility for a second successive warning involves automatic suspension from college. Students who are liable for a third warning whether in successive terms or not shall be suspended from college. Suspension in all cases shall be for a period of one semester .

PROMOTION IN CLASS Promotion from one class to another is determined as follows: the comple­

tion of three courses in college admits to the Sophomore class, of eigh t courses to the Junio r class, and of thirteen co urses to the Senior class.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Scholarships are g ranted on th e basis of financial need, the grade of academic work, character, influence over fellow students, and for upperclassmen, participation in extracurricular activi ties.

Students who are in college must have a passing mark in 5 courses for the term immed iately preceding their application, with the following average: Freshman, 70; Sophomores, 75; Juniors at midyears, 75; at finals, 80; Seniors, 80 .

PENALTIES FOR ACADEMIC DEFICIENCY PROBATION - Any stud ent whose work comp leted at the end of a term is less

than four co urses wi th seventy or better in at least two of these courses will be placed on probation for the following term. Any student, for neglect of wo rk, may be placed on proba tion a t any tim e. When an unmarried minor student is placed on probation, noti ce of this action wi ll be sent to his parent or guardian.

15

A student on probation is not eligible to manage any college organization, or to take part in any public musical or dramatic performance, or in any public athletic contest, except as follows:

( 1) Freshmen. Upon the recommendation of the Freshman Advisory Council, Freshmen placed on Probation at midyears may participate in one extracurri cular activity for a period of six weeks at which time their academic record will be re­viewed. If passing in a minimum of four courses the privilege of participating will be continued for the balance of the semester.

(2) Upperclassmen on probation for the first time may take part in one extra­curricular activity provided written permission is received by the D ean of Students from the student's parent or guardian.

Students on probation may participate in intramural sports. Students on probation may not elect more than 5 courses a term. Students may be removed from probation only at the end of a term. REQUIRED WITHDRAWAL- Students who are liable to probation for the

third time will be required to withdraw from College, without the privilege of return. Students are usually required to withdraw (apart from the third probation rule)

only when they have been on probation the preceding term. Students required to withdraw as a consequence of two successive probations may apply for re-admission after a year has passed. Individual applications are considered on their merits by the Committee on Administration and re-admission is not automatic.

Effective with the class of 1961 students who fail to secure a minimum of grades of 70 or better in live full courses or the equivalent in half courses by the end of the second year will not be admitted to the third year.

The D ean of the College or the D ean of tudents will summon any student who, at any final marking period passes a total of less than nine semester hours to determine the reasons for such failure and to make recommendation to the Commit­tee on Administration. Required withdrawal may be recommended.

The Chapel Choir Professor Cl arence W atters, Director

Membership in the Chapel Choir is open to all undergrad uates who successfull y complete the voice trials and competitions held in September.

The fun ctions of the Choir include the lead ing of congregational singing, and the development of music for liturgica l use. The choir sings on Sunday at the services of Morning Prayer and Evening Vespe rs. T wo rehearsals a week are required. Pay­ment is based upon length of service.

Several times a year the Ch oir joins with women's choruses from oth er colleges in special events . Last year it sang several out-of-town concerts and presented the Pros­pect Hill School chorus from New Haven and the Smith College Chamber Singers.

Chamber Orchestra

The Pipes Bill W arder, Alpha D elta Phi

The Pipes of Trinity were fi rs t organized as a quartet in 1938 by four Trinity students. The group was enl arged in to i ts present octet fo rm in 1941. Although a rela tive ly young organiza tion, the Pipes have es tablished for themselves an enviable reputation not only among their fo llowers at Trinity, but with lovers of fin e singing throughout N ew England.

The Pipes have appea red on television, rad io; sung at many women's colleges and various clubs and chari tabl e organizat ions throughout the state .

The College Band D avid Smith, P resident

Each spring the Band p resents a jo int concert with the Glee Club in Funston Court. The Band now has a large repertoire of marches and co ll ege so ngs.

Prospective band members should speak to the pres ident .

RELIGIOUS GROUPS

A WORD OF GREETING FROM THE CHAPLAIN

The spiritual life of th e Coll ege is centered in Trinity's exqu isi te Chapel. Students of all faiths come to appreciate the Chapel more and more as they grasp

the symbolism of the stone and woodcarvings, and the stained g lass, and as they open their minds and hearts while a t worship.

Four student g roups whi ch embrace practica lly everyone's religious practi ce, assist in making fri endships, in giving opportunities to student discussions, and in participating in community serv ice pro jec ts. The fi rs t gathering of these g roups is Sunday afternoon of Freshman W eek, and they are held during the College year as announced.

These four groups are--The Canterbury Club

Lawrence Larsen, President

Th e Canterbury Club is an ac tive, chartered orga niza tion of students who are members of the Episcopal Chu rch and affilia ted branches of the Angli can Communion. The Club is committed to a definite program of worship, stud y, service, prayer, giving, and evangeli sm, th rough which it is hoped the spiritual life of the members will be increased and developed.

21

The Hillel Foundation Philip Corn, President

The Hillel Foundation, for Jewish students, carrieE on a program designed to include the religious, cultural, and social aspects of co llege life. Guest speakers, debates, and dances are included in the year's program. Hillel is sponsored by the B'nai B'rith of Hartford, with Rabbi William Cohen of West Hartford its adviser.

The Newman Club James F. O 'Reilly, President

The Newman Club is an organization that fosters the religious and intellectual interests of the Roman Catholic students of Trinity. Father Robert L. Callahan of St. Thomas Seminary is the chaplain and adviser of the club. The ewman Club's activi­ties include a lecture series, an annual retreat, and social activities with St. Joseph 's College.

The Protestant Fellowship Wayne Hazzard, President

The Protestant Fellowship is a social and religious organization for Protestants of all denominations, providing a program of lectu res and discussions, led by outstanding Hartford laymen and clergy. It is designed to provide fellowship for Protestant stu­dents, and to deepen their understanding of their common religious heritage.

The Chaplain is a friend of every student and available for discussion, talks, interviews, or counseling in his office (east end of Cloister), at his home, 69 Vernon St. , on Campus, in "The Cave," or wherever you meet him.

To assist the Chaplain in matters of concern to the whole Campus, there is an inter-faith council cal led THE CHAPEL CABINET, composed of representatives of the four religious clubs. The President is Reming ton Rose '58, Rutherford, . ].

Every freshman comes from home with some sort of faith: vita l or vague, blind or reasonable, rigid or pliable. He will leave, four years later, with a more thrilling understanding of God and of God's will, and of God's world, or with less, but not wi th his freshman out look. One thing is sure- one's religion is like an egg, which will not remain the same for four years: it must hatch and produce more life, or it must, in a short time, smell bad. We trust that every freshm an is "a good egg" now.

The College offers: 1. The Chapel and its worship; 2. The Chaplain and his per­sonal assistance; 3. Religious Clubs and their programs; and 4. Excellent courses in the department of relig ion. This is not to make you "religious" (you are already this on various levels of experience), but to develop joy and meaning of the spiritual side while increasing the delight of the intellectual, and the well-being of the physical.

A Trinity education is for the whole man, to fit him for the whole of life.

COLLEGE REGULATIONS CONCERNING FRATERNITIES

For co llege regulations concerning fraternities see the Chapter on Student Regu­lations: Sections on Fraterni ties and Social Affairs.

ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES

Athletic actJvJtJes at Trinity College are divided into three classifications: Inter­collegiate athletics, intramura l athletics, and required physica l education. All three divisions are under the supervision of the Physical Education D epartment.

I ntercollegiate Athletics: Schedules are arranged for varsity and freshman teams in the fo llowing sports: Football and soccer in the fall; basketba ll, swimming, and squash racquets in the winter; and baseball, track, go lf and tennis in the spring. In addition, an informal intercollegiate schedule is arranged in dinghy racing, lacrosse and fencing. The governing body for intercollegiate ath letics is the athletic advisory council composed of three undergraduates elected by the students, three alumni, and three members of the faculty .

All students become members of the Trinity College Athletic Association when they pay their regular tuition at the College office. This entit les them to admission to all horne athletic contests and permits them to try out for all ath letics teams, provided they are academically eligible.

All students who are successfully carrying a full academic schedule are eligible to participate on intercollegiate varsity or freshman teams representing the College. Trinity maintains a full-year freshman rule, and a three-year varsity rule in keeping with the practice in vogue in most of the colleges in our group. Trinity is a member of the National Collegiate Ath letic Association and the Eastern Co llege Athletic Conference.

A system of student managerships for the various varsity and freshman teams makes it possible for students to gain valuable organizing and business experience. Application for rnanagerships should be made to the Director of Physical Education or to the coach of the sport invo lved.

Intramural Athletics: The aim of the intramural program is to provide athletic competition for as large a group as possible and is particularly for students not participating on freshman or varsity teams. The sports ·on the intramural program are basketba ll , swimming, touch football , volleybal l, wrestling, table tennis, golf, squash

racquets, track, tennis, and softball. A point system of scoring has been devised to determine the winner in all intramural competitions for the year and the Alumni Trophy is awarded to the team earning the greatest number of points.

Physical Education: This is a required course for all freshmen and sophomores, reporting three times per week throughout the college year. Transfers in the fresh­man and sophomore year will meet this two-year requirement. Transfers in the junior year will be required to take one year of physical education at Trinity. A prescribed physical education uniform is required.

The physical education program at Trinity is designed to secure and maintain a condition of good health and physica l fitness to deve lop recreational skill which can be enjoyed while in college and leisure time after college, to establish habits of regular participation, and to develop favorable attitudes toward wholesome play.

Each school year is divided into four physica l education terms of approximately seven weeks in duration. To meet the graduation requirements, a student must pass to the satisfaction of the department eight of the courses listed below, of which gymnastics and a swimming course must be included:

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

Touch Football Soccer Softball Tennis (beginners) Tennis (advanced) Golf (beginners) Golf (advanced)

INDOOR ACTIVITIES

Basketball Volleyball Swimming (beginners) Swimming Squash (beginners) Squash (advanced) Gymnastics

Members of winter intercollegiate teams (basketball, swimming, squash, and fencing), during both the freshman and sophomore years, are excused for gymnastics and swimming, providing they can pass the minimum swimming test. Students show­ing Life Saving cards will be excused from all swimming requirements. Those students unable to pass the minimum swimming test (50 yards free style and 25 yards on the back) will be placed in a beginners· swimming class held during the first and fourth physical educational terms, until this requirement is fulfilled.

One credit for physical education attendance is given to members of varsity and freshman intercollegiate teams for each physical education term the sport is in season. Only freshman and sophomore year participation in athletics may be credited toward the physical education requirement. Any student dropping or cut from a varsity sport before his physical education requirement is completed must be immediately scheduled into a physical education class. In each term only three unexcused absences will be allowed. Anyone overcutting will be placed on warning. Overcutting a second successive term or a third term will result in suspension from college. These terms must be taken consecutively.

Sport is winning, if win you can And keep to the Sportsman's Code.

Sport is beating the other man, But giving him half the road;

Being content with an even break; · Scorning the tricksters art.
