The weekend demonstrationswere part of the three month old"Operation Baltimore", begun byBaltimore's Civic Interest Groupin November, and which movedf r o m Baltimore to Maryland'sEastern Shore in December as aresult of what the gtoup felt wasweak civil rights legislation" pro-posed by the State at that time.This Saturday's demonstrationscoincided with the calling of aspecial legislative s e s s i o n byMaryland's Governo.r.

Angelic and Diabolic

Clubs Sins St. John PassionBY ALFRED C. BURFEINDFEB. 25— A large number of

people heard a moving perform-ance of Johann Sebastian Bach'sSt. Joint Passion in the TrinityChapel tonight. The performancegiven by the Mount: Holyokc College Glee Club and the TrinityCollege Glee Club, was directedby Ruth Douglass, of Mount Hol-yoke, and Trinity's Dr. ClarenceBarber.

All who participated are to becongratulated. All parts of thechorus blended well, and the bal-ance between the chorus and theinstrumentation w a s tastefully

made. Richard DeMone and JamesGrenliart, who alternated on theorgan and the harpsichord, pro-vided excellent accompaniment.

This reviewer was seated in therear of the Chapel, In this loca-tion, the diction of the chorus andthe .soloists was not as clear asone might ask. With the wordsthought fully included on the pro-gram, however, everything fellinto place, as the words beingsung were seldom, if ever, so in-distinct as to be unrecognizable.

Sadness And AngerThe tone of the chorus was re-

markable. At times angelic, at

COEDS AND SUPERCOEDS. Coeds accept a Friday-night date on Friday after-noon. Supercoeds have to keep date books. Coeds wear black and gray. Super-coeds wear green and red and yellow. Coeds talk about "The College."Supercoeds discuss the world. Coeds smoke dainty, tasteless cigarettes thatthey think proper. Supercoeds smoke Luckies because Luckies taste better.There are many supercoeds, because college students smoke more Luckies thanany other regular. Are you a supercoed?

vaa hardly large enough to holdill the majesty of the work beingiung. And yet, were the Chapeljigger, the feeling of smallnessvould be correspondingly greater.3ood music is an.expanding thing,nable to be enclosed, fighting toweak beyond the walls that sur-ouiid it. The chorus made this

int quite evident tonight.Of the soloists, much can be

said. John Ferrante, '46, deservesspecial commendation for his peiw!ormance of the part oJ the Evan-jelist. The part is a difficult one,ind quite extensive. Mr. Fer-•ante's smging, though at.times-...slightly inaccurate, was alwaysleasing.

Emotion to MusicAndrew Beattie, '48, was well-

chosen for the part of Jesus. Hisability to add the proper emotionto his music added greatly tothe success of the whole perform-ance.

The soprano Aria by Mary AnnHarley accompanied on the I'luteby Susan Nichol, was one of thebest of the student solos. Theother soloists, Walter Frey, Fred-erick Metcalf, R o b e r t Parlee,Bruce Klein, and Martha Wilson,provided at least satisfactory per-ormances, and at times showed. fine musical talent for* handling

difficult; passages.Mistakes were made. Most were

hardly noticeable,, a very few wereglaringly obvious. But we mustremembervthat this' performancewas not by a professional group,and that the intricacies of theSt.John Passion present a formidablechallenge to even the , most ac-complished musician.

MalSory Paintings

Sympathy, Not SagacityBY BICHARB TOTTLE

Thoreau's statement that themass of men lead lives of quietdesperation is, for most of to-day's young painters, a condem-nation of the common man. Some-how "Christian doctrine" has notcarried enough force in recentyeai-s to sway young artists, forthe majority of art depicting thehuman condition is both satiricaland unsympathetic. Hunter Mal-lory's work, however, illustratesthe opposite attitude.

After a majority of the draw-ings (which demonstrate nothingmore thkn passable virtuosity)and the architectural studies onthe south wall are removed, wehave an exhibit of young moth-ers, children and old people—the"worth exhibiting" section of theshow. Dark, faceless beings em-erge from the surrounding depthsand cry the monotony of life.Sleeping figures, knitting women,and street peddlers whisperthrough the theatrical light thatthey are not at fault for theircondition and hosv nice it wouldbe 1f someone helped them.

But these are Mallory's words—sympathetic words. Mallory is adramatist with something on hismind. He is affected and inspiredby the weak individuals of oursociety and his paintings ask fora sympathy which is unfortunate-ly only wrought through senti-mentality. We are reminded of

Kind Of Amused.When asked about the reaction

of the townspeople,..Coxhead saidthat they were "kind' of amusedby the whole thing."

"No one came up to us andasked serious questions," Coxheadremarked. "All t h e y did wasjeer."

Police palrolcd the area heavily,Coxhead reporLed, and were anx-ious to pin traffic violations on thestudents. One student was givena warning for temporarily block-ing a driveway, the Trinity stu-dent said.

Rally And SupperA fter the picketing, which last-

ed for about three hours, the stu-dents returned to a colored Methodist Episcopal church in Eastonfor a "delicious" supper and arally, Coxhead said. The rallyfeaiured singing, an address bya Wesleyan professor, and con-versation with the Negroes, Cox-head reported.

Coxhead told the Tripod thatthe students, if not making mark-ed progress in the desegregationfight, "gave so much'spirit" to theNegro townspeople, and "saw;what it was like to be a Negro, to«>c hissed at, to be pointed at,to be despised." ^

"Playing- Marbles"Perhaps the most unusual

painting in the "worth exhibiting"section is "Playing Marbles." Al-though it never could be consider-ed the best in the show ("TheLettuce Vender" or "Old Womanat Home" deserves that title), itis sinking in its break with thesubject matter and attitude of theother paintings. Here we have twoyoung Italian boys playing mar-bles in the street. The attitude isone of observation, but the joyboys find in such games is no-where to be found. Indeed, theboys seem menaced by the darkthat surrounds them. Unlike most

of the other paintings, the boysare not yet in the grips of des-pair, but, like the others, they tooare doomed unless helped ofcourse.

Imagism in art has been threat-ening the tired camp of non-ob-jective abstract expressionists Inthe past months. The noted artcritic Bernard Berenson has saidthat the human image will dom-inate in art, and the weak in oursociety have been receiving in-creasing sympathy as far as thegovernment is concerned. It wouldappear, then, that Rembrant-in-spired Hunter Mallory, is a youngleading spokesman in contempor-ary art. We can only wish that hebecome more erudite.

Tripod Backs WaggettTonight the newly elected Senate

•will choose one of its number toserve as President in the new admin-istration. In accordance with a Tri-pod policy established last year, thispaper herein presents its endorse-ment of that rising1-senior Senatorwhom it feels is best qualified tolead the Senate through what maybe the most trying period in itsexistence. After a careful considera-tion of those men eligible, we havedecided to endorse the present re-cording secretary, John S. Waggett.

Waggett has served competentlyin the outgoing administration ofArthur McNulty. In his work withboth the Senate and with the Under-graduate Evaluating Committee,Waggett has shown organizationalability and a certain dedication towork. In addition, he impresses thispaper as being- open-minded, ready to

at least listen to new ideas. A man. with such an attitude will be needed,in the coming months if the Senateis to become a more consistentlyworthwhile body than it has been inthe past.

Although this journal has certainreservations about Wag'gett's standson some issues, we do believe thathe has the intelligence and potentialleadership abilities to be an effectivePresident. , .His desire to encourage more generalstudent participation in the activitiesof the Senate, coupled with his de-sire to stimulate campus interest innational affairs, speak well for an ad-ministration under Waggett's leader-ship.

For these reasons, the Tripodurges the members of the new Sen-ate to elect John S. Waggett as Pres-ident.

ScholarlyTeachers

Those who believe that good teach-ers must be good scholars often con-tend that aspiring professors mustdemonstrate their scholarship bypublishing. A frequent consequenceof this conviction lias been a "pub-lish or perish" dictate at many uni-versities.

The relationship between teachingability and scholarship is too tenu-ous to support this dictum, althoughinmost cases the two go hand'inhand. We can think of too manygood scholars who are poor teachers.Similarily, we can think of many-g-ood teachers who are not particul-arly good research scholars.

In the land of academia, absolutequalification is at best elusive. Just

as the college boards have failed tofully measure the candidate, publica-tions often fail to prove the profes-sor.

How accurate can such a measurebe when any number of journals willprint mediocre material? And, evenif quality is taken into consideration,who can judge the scholarly workthat the professor intended, butfound no opportunity to write?

The publishing- professor belongsin the large university where diver-sity and size permit him to special-ize. The small liberal arts collegemust have those teachers who arewilling to sacrifice continued pursuitof their scholarly interests to carrythe burde,n of general education.

Meanwhile,

Reprint from the New York POST, Wed., Feb. 21, 1962.Astronaut John II. Glenn's gallant

journey through space is a great ad-venture story. It reduces Columbusto a certain absurdity; it parodiesthe small valors of flagpole sitters.Was there even a time when SteveBrodie's leap from the BrooklynBridge stirred pubKc notice?

Glenn has done it; we salute himfor an epic display of human daring.But, on' this morning after, we mustall sober up. One day we may learnhow much this achievement has help-ed us to uncover many mysteries oflife. Meanwhile, in the here-and-now

down on earth, things are very muchthe sj;«ae as they were two days ago.

We have taken a big stride in thespace race. How are we doing in thepeace race? To put it another way,has man reached that point in hishistory at which he can only do hisbest -work when he gets away fromit all ?

No more random thoughts; it wasa big day and a joyous landing. Cel.Glenn has dramatized anew man'squest for liberation from the ordin-ary imprisonment of his spirit. Hehas. lifted all our sights.

MUST FACULTV 'PublAN INACCURATE DICTUMBy WILLIAM F. NILES

In the current search for an accurate yardstick to measure, and subsequ*prove the quality of today's higher education, faculty publications' are being screased importance as a means of determining the worth of our professors. If ththeir published works is indicative of their worth, this is certainly an accurate :is questionable, however, that a good scholar is necessarily a good teacher, althoteacher must necessarily be a good scholar. And, in the final analysis the effechigher education rests primarily with our teachers, not our scholars, although toften synonomous.

The idwidespread acceptance orfaculty, publications as an ac-curate measure of teachingability and scholarship frequentlyinfluences the adoption of a"publish or perish" dictum.Either teachers publish works ofscholarly merit or they seekpositions elsewhere. Anything buta Well defined requirement atmany universities, it neverthelessplays an important part whenthe time comes to determine pro-motions and to decide on exten-sion of tenure.

Small New _ England colleges•tend more than their larger coun-terparts to de-emphasize facultypublications. "Publications arecertainly taken into account inpromotions," Dean Spaeth ofWesleyan readily admitted, "But,"he added, "every man is Judgedon his undisputable merit. Someof our best teachers have noteven published an inch." Trinity'sDean Hughes expressed the samesentiments when he stated that"A good faculty member does notnecessarily have to be a continualpublisher."

"Upper-Out" RuleThe "Upper-Out" requirement

of Harvard and. Yale which re-quires publication by senior fac-ulty members is generally deemedunacceptable by the smaller col-lege;. The "publish or perish"rule, in fact, seems in contradic-tion to the nature of the smallliberal arts college. For its struc-ture is such that each man mustshare the burden of carrying outits general education program.This task limits the time andopportunity necessary for theoriginal scholarship and speciali-zation which lead to publication.

In larger imiversitjes, however,where the size of faculties andthe multiplicity of courses .allowfor specialization, the "publish or

perish" rule can be applied toadvantage in a "weeding out"process which would only proveharmful to the smaller college.

Small colleges, in fact, regardpublications as more advantageousto the intellectual growth of theirteachers than to them in theircourses. Said Dean Spaeth ofWesleyan, "We like a man whohas written in his own field. Itis conducive to his intellectualgrowth." C o m m e n t e d Dean.Schrag, Assistant Secretary ofAmherst College, "Presumablyany teacher will stay alive,through his research."

Solid Base Of CompetenceTeachers at small colleges may

not be given the opportunity to•concentrate on their specialitieswhile conducting the broadcourses of general education, but,as Dean Burchard of MIT said,"No one 5s a good generalist whodoesn't have a solid base ofspecialized competence."

That there is a necessity forspecialization as a "solid base" ispartially demonstrated by thesabbatical programs of a numberof' small colleges. Trinity, Am-herst, and Wesleyan, amongothers, have adopted systems offunds and sabbatical leaves toenhance and encourage specializa-tion and research.

A m h e r s t offers sabbaticalleaves after seven years, but,Dean Schrag pointed out, "thisvaries somewhat." He referred tothe Trustee-Faculty Fellowshipfor younger faculty memberswhich enables instructors or as-sistant professors to take fullyears with half pay or half yearswith full pay. If individualachievement may assess to the.effectiveness of Amherst's sabba-

tical program, histcCommager could beexample,

or Perish'?TRINITY SITUATION

By MYRON ROSENTHALTrinity Professors can sleep well in the evenings, se-

cure in the knowledge that there is no absolute deadline forpublications hanging over them. Dean of Faculty and Col-lege Vice-President Arthur H. Hughes assured the Tripodof this in a recent interview.

The Dean, whose annual report to the President includesa list of all faculty publications for the academic year, call-ed the idea of an absolute deadline and "publish or perish"a concept which "belongs more properly in a novel than itdoes in a description of what goes on here or in most col-leges." •

. Dean Hughes indicated that 'the extent of publications by afaculty member is by no meansthe only criterion for promotionand he stated that a good facultymember does not necessarily haveto be a continual publisher.

"We Want Both""Ideally what we want is both,"

he said, referring to faculty mem-bers with the ability to com-municate with and instruct stu-dents, and with the ability toproduce scholarly works of highquality. "Publication is a part ofthe picture, but teaching abilityis a part also,' '

"Any scholar: who is worth hissalt is going to publish some-,thing," Dr. Hughes continued,"but I don't think his work isgoing to be worth very much ifhe does it by the clock. A per-son can't publish meaningfulworks with a gun at his head.There are many things being pub-lished which we can get alongvery well without."

Dr. Hughes digressed for amoment while recalling a novelhe had read in which a Professorwas frantically working in hislocked office to finish a paperin order to meet his quota of pub-lished works. The book endswhen a student, after a vain at-tempt to see the Professor, com-mits suicide and the Professor,in :a; moment; of enlightenment,tears- the paper from his.type-writer and throws it through awindow, "I don't recall the nameof the-book," said Hughes, "butI hope I never see it again."

Faculty WorksDr. Hughes emphasized the

fact that he did not wish to playdown the role of faculty works.'"Publishing," said the Dean, isthe principle way in whichscholarship manifests itself. Myreport annually carries the workof the faculty."

Teaching ability is not neces-sarily dependent upon scholarshipand the publications of a facultymember tend to be in a narrowfield. "The teaching a facultymember does will be in his fieldof specialization only to a smalldegree and thus every teachermust have a broad command ofthe larger field and must keep upwith the development of his fieldas well as the developments inhis specific area within the field."field."

When asked about the ' rela-tionship of quantity and qualityof published works to a facultymember's promotions, Dr. Hughesreplied that promotions at Trinitygo through channels which bringin faculty participation. "Itis done in a democratic way witha rotating committee, "the JointCommittee on Appointments andPromotions, consisting of twofaculty members, two Trustees,with President Jacobs and DeanHughes as ex-offieio members.

"No Mathematical Formula"The extent of consideration

given by a Professor to publica-tions," the - Dean continued,"therefore varies with individuals •and, there is no mathematicalformula to compute it."

Research For PublicationBy J. RONALD SPENCER

Nearly five years ago the Hartford Courant commissioned Professor of English J.Bard McNulty to write the paper's history. This summer the first draft of the work will becomplete. McNulty has faced a research task of broad scope, complicated by the fact that theCourant, the oldest newspaper of continuous publication in the country iirst rolled .oil aprimitive hand-operated press in 1764. The assignment has presented the author with prob-lems which are undoubtedly exemplary of those faced by any scholar preparing a. seriouswork of book length. . . ; • :

*•'

Inwillwith the paper's 1964 bi-eentennial, the author has utilized num-erous sources of information,some of which, are not immediate-ly obvious. Although he has de-voted primary attention to theback issues of the paper itself,McNulty has also been forced touse his ingenuity, in obtainingfacts from more obscure areas.

news gathering and reportingmedia have occurred over twocenturies. He has familiarizedhimself with these changes so' asto understand some of the prob-lems faced by the newspaper dur-ing various periods in its history.

The professor, perhaps bestknown for his studies of the Eng-lish poets Chaucer, Milton andWordsworth, reports that the textof the Declaration of Independ-ence was not published in thepaper until July 15. To explainthis fact, McNulty has studied thearrangement of the post roads

account trends in Connecticut adU.S. history, and relate them todevelopments at the Courant.

Letters To The EditorBold Conclusions

To the Editor:The Harrison Salisbury articles

in the New York Times of Feb-ruary 5-9, 1962, .do not warrantthe bold conclusions that the Tri-pod editorial of February 12 sug-gests. Mr. Salisbury's articles re-late that thei'e has been' a West-ernization and liberalization ofSoviet socieiy under the "liberal"Mr. Krushchev in which peopleare acting more in the Westernstyle, speaking- more freely, andengaging in some legal dissen-tion. One of Mr. Salisbury's con-clusions is, "A relaxation in ten-sions would play into the handsof the liberals."

From this article the Tripod ed-itorial concludes that the Russianswill be more interested in a truepeace as time goes on and, to pur-sue this end, the West ought tohave a flexible foreign . policy,not an "inflexible" policy as de-manded by the "rightists."

The conclusion that peace mayresult from this liberalizaiion inRussia is doubtful, or at least theactions of the Soviet leadersgive l i t t l e reason for thejustification of this opinion. Dur-ing the past few years when thisliberalization has been takingplace, the foreign policy of theUSSR has not changed. It is stillone aimed at causing tensions andcrises such as the Berlin crisis. AsSalisbury says, "(Mr. Khrush-chev) has split the Communistworld rather than alter his foi"-eign policy objectives." -However,Salisbury also says, "A relaxa-tion in tensions would play intothe hands of the liberals."

Since the Times article pointedout that Khrushchev was one' ofthese liberals, it seems odd thatKhrushchev would still be tryimto build up tensions around theworld if he himself were not ableto benefit. Therefore, it followsthat a relaxation of tensions isnot necessarily an aid to the lib-erals. The New York Times, fol-lowing the series with an editorialon February. 10 about this pro-

: blem, warns us that "• • • the freeworld must remain on guardagainst wishful thinking." Itseems, therefore, that the Rus-sian threat is as menacing as ever

and that this threat has not beenmitigated by any increased liber-ilism in Russia.

The Tripod editorial also sug-gests that we have a more flexibleposition in our diplomatic nego-tiations with Russia instead o*i thefirmer stand thaf the "rightists"propose. This is fine to say, butt overlooks one important thing",

that whenever we have taken partin major negotiations with Com-munist countries, we have almostinvariably lost out, and the Redshave continually gained throughtheir refusal to give the West anyconcessions in return for the manythat vye offer tliem. All that the"rightists," including by this de-finition DeGaulle and Adenauer,demand is that bargaining be awo-way street, that there besomething real to bargain about,and that the other party be sin-cere and co-operative.

As yet, the Russians Have shown'little, if any, real inclination to besincere, co-operative, or otherwisein good faith in their negotiation

hence the "inflexible" policy ofwaiting until there is real hopebefore doing any bargaining. Ifthe "flexible" policy of givingconcessions without our receiv-in anything in return is contin-ued, we shall eventually come 'toa point where we shall have noth-ing-, left to bargain with in theevent that there is any real rea-son to bargain. The . rebuttal tothis, of course, is that withoutthese negotiations, fruitful or not,we shall have1 a war. However,it was under this policy that Cam-berlain and Deladier s o u g h t"peace in our time" from Hitlerat Munich in 1938. There is little,if any, reason why this policyshould maintain a just peace anylonger today.

All this is not to say that weshould not work for negotiations,since we must try to find a truealternative to war, but on theother-hand, let us be sure thatwe are going into negotiations toarbitrate, not to play SantaClaus with the rights and free-doms, of Jhe Western and Neutralcountries.

Inner LogicT o , i ; ; i : . V V .::!.Dr, Newccsan's eXt.vemeiy cbg-

.erit point about industrializationand totalitarianism clearly illum-inates the great dialogue betweenthe "totalitarian" and the "soci-logical" schools over the relativeimportance of 'politics and ecoti'omics in the field- of modernEuropean affairs. My view is thatseen from the historical per-spective, industrialism has itsown "inner logic" which event-ually forces a society to orient it-self in what Richard Pipes of Har-vard calls a "rational, Jegallynormalized direction' 'despite theaims and ideology of its rulers.Industrialism has transformedmodern societies by creatingpressures for greater social ef-ficiency which include greaterfreedom of thought and inquiryand which cannot be forever con-fined to -scientific and technolog-ical fields. .

Germany seems to be the onegreat excepiion to ths rule. But,

• again seen historically, it wasprecisely the resistance by thosein control in Ges-many after-1919to industrialism's "inner logic,"to the pressure of greater socialefficiency (in. the country) thatbrought about the Nazi phenome-non. (Fascist Italy is perhaps an-other example). Once established,such reaction can, of course, tem-porarily take advantage of thetechnology, organization and soc-ial attitudes of an industrial soc-iety to perfect tyranny. But thepoint I was attempting to makeis that such political leeadershipcan utilize the techniques of ra-tionalization for , irrational: pur-poses oiily for extra-ordinary

emergencies and for limited per-iods of time; Hitler's J'reye«ge"vfor Versailles and.his plan to re-duce man to a common denomin-ator in the concentration camps;Stalin's "defense" of Russiaagainst foreign invasion and do-mestic traitors. It cannot, how-ever, maintain lliiscourse forever.

Intellectual FreedomTfie fact that-Hitler .>vas over-

thrown by foreigners and by mili-tary means made this point dif-ficult to see. Bui the certainly notoriginal view I hold that the Sovi-et system has had to mitigate itstotalitarianism in recent yearstends to confirm it. In the sensethat -both Germany and Russianowiiave greater intellectual free-dom than, vvas ever deemed pos-sible for them, they have, I be-lieve, begun to conform to thepattern traced earlier in Europ-ean history by Britian and France.

Skaters Lose To Wes, 3-0, In Season FinalFEB. 22—A timl Trinity hoc-

key Leam was handed a 3-0 de-feat by an able Wesleyan squadtonight at the Choate School rink.Two games in a row had takentheir toll, and Trinity was notable to duplicate Hie Amhet^tvictory of last night

Trinity's proven tkst line, com-posed of the former Milton Acad-emy star Bert Williams at cen-ter, and Pete Dunldo and NedTwining at left and right wingsrespectively, was unable to putthe puck pat,t a scrappy Wes1

goalie. Tony Culler, skating ondefense, showed obvious fatiguefrom the night betorc, but still

i provided spark and aided in play-making. Peter Kane, on defensewith Cutler, did an admirablejob in the absence of Bob Bowler.Trm's goaUuard, the reliable BillPolk, did his usual excellent job,allowing only three goals, whilemaking upwards oC 30 saves.

The first period immediatelyindicated the strength of the Westeam, as at 9.49 Tom Pomeroyscored their first goal. AlthoughTrinity made several strong bids,no goals were scored.

The second period put coachHargrove's team on 1he defensive?,with a two minute tripping pen-alty called against Cutler. Pom-

eroy's second goal, corning aftereight minutes of the period, fol-lowed by the third Wes goal tenminulos later, gave the Wesmenthe commanding- lead which theyheld for the remainder of thegame.

Pollc's goaltending, Williams'shooting, and Mai Lloyd's unsuc-cessful attempts to put the puckin the nets, were the only high-lights of an otherwise dull thirdperiod. Tin's game marked theend of another season for Trin-i(y's hockey club. Their 2-4 re-cord is a highly creditable onefor a team which has played an

Balanced Attack, Torrid Shooting Sink CadetsBY ANDY MILLER

FEB. 24—Trinity C o a c h JayMcWilliams unveiled his new of-fense tonight and his "Iron-ManFive" put it to good use in de-feating Coast Guard 76-56. TheBantam mentor set John Fen-rich on the high post and .BobBvandeiiberger under the bucket,setting up a wide variety of out-side shots for the remaining Hill-toppers. •

Trinity hit on its first five fieldgoal attempts, three by BarryLeghorn and two by Bill Scully,to take an early 10-4 lead. Work-ing well against the Academy's2-1-2 zone, Brandenberger, BrianBrooks, and Leghorn combinedfor a nine-point streak to give thehome forces. a 27-14 lead aftertwelve minutes had elasped.

The small crowd at the FieldHouse watched in admiration asLeghorn hit for 7 out of thirteenshots in the first half and addedfour free throws. The 6'3" soph-omore was held to five points inthe second half to finish with23, as Coast Guard's Bob Heggettfinished close behind wih 20.

Brandy A 40-Mimite ManThe Iron-Man Five stayed in

the game until the last three min-utes, when the T r i n i t y coachemptied his short-handed bench.

In support of Leghorn, Brooks:

Courant to other areas of thestate.

In order to gain this type ofinformation, McNulty has beenmore than a newspaper historian.He- has branched out into manyother fields in order to producea comprehensive and accuratebook.

Mass of IssuesThe amount of research of this

type dwarfed, however, by theamount of research that has beenconducted right in the pages ofthe Courant itself. The paper waspublished weekly until 1837, andas a daily thereafter. McNultyhas gone to the Connecticut His-torical Society, the State Library,ad the Courant files to gain an al-most complete collection of backissues. Although the author stress-es he has been unable to read ev-ery item in this great volume ofeditions, he has poured over allof them in an effort to gain thepertinent facts contained.

To facilitate working with thismass of material, McsNulty hasemployed a normal researcherstechnique of photostating import-ant pages and issues. He has alsotaken many 35mm slides of essen-tial material. He often projectsthese slides on to a screen beforehim, from which he can type pas-Sages needed for his manuscript.

In studying back issues of thenewspaper, McNulty has givenconsiderable attention to the ad-vertising contained. He also hasgiven attention to the editorialpolicy, finding that the journalwas dedicated Lo the cause of thecolonists during the RevolutionaryWar.. During those war years, thCourant had the largest circula-tion of any paper in the colonies.

First BookThis book is McNulty's first, al-

though he has published numer-our articles about English liter-ature in scholarly journals bothin this country and in Great Brit-ain..

He has also written many ofwhat he calls "ai-ticles of com-ment" for the Courant. Indeed, heattributes his work for the paperas a main reason why the journalcommissioned him to write itshistory. McNulty told this ' report-p r : "I knew the people on theCourant and they knew me."

McNully explained that he hasbeen completely free of interfer-ence from the newspaper, and,resuitingly, will produce a bonatide history. He stresses that he>s working under an ideal situa-tion in which no demands to em-Phasize or do-emphasize certainmaterial have been made uponnim by his employer.

In addition to usln&: Source'jfriaf-

erial available, McNulty has alsoconducted interviews with peoplepreviously connected with theewspaper. Among them are sur-vivors of former editors and secretaries of former presidents.

The study of the paper's circul-ation has presented especial prob-lems, since before 1905 no aecur-athe figures were kept. McNultysays claims made by the news-paper to its advertisers are ofsome help, although they cannotbe deemed etirely reliable.

Court Records&ourt records have been a sur-

prising source of accurate circul-ation count, the author says.on rare instances the Courant be-came involved in litigaiion, an accounting of circulation wouldhave to be filed in court, and fromthese records McNulty has gottenconsiderable assistance.

Piled among the author's stacksof back issues, photostats, andmanuscript pages, are severalmaps of transportation and com-munication networks existent inNew England at various times.

Aslo found in this mass of mat-erial are several graphs, includ-ing one outlining the competitionfaced from other papers in thecity. The Courant, now alone inthe morning field, and challengedonly • by the evening HartfordTimes, was faced with seven com-

committed a game total of only=seven personal fouls, as the Acad-emy picked up only two pointsfrom the line on seven shots.

The team's record stands at 10-6 as they travel to Waltham,Mass., Tuesday n i g h t to play

petitors from 1855-1860.In all, five years have gone into

the compilation of this history,and several more will be devotedto It before the first edition rollsfrom the presses. Professor Mc-Nulty has used a wide variety ofresearch sources, indicating theextensive preparation which goesinto such a book.'

Although each individual sub-ject requires slightly differenttechnioues and sources, McNul-ty's efforts are indicative of theprocesses of scholarship throughwhich a serious author must go.Many educators on many campus-es are involved in similar projectstoday, heWn their labors are-con-ducted with copious effort, worthyadditions to the sum o£ Americanscholarship are made.

' ' OVER THE YEARS Trinity has been blessed with sev-eral great athletes. In recent times, the personages of Sticka,LeClerc, and Guild, among others, have brought acclaim toboth themselves and their alma mater for their remarkableprowess in the world of sports.

Although .some students may not realize it, again thisyear we are fortunate to have an athlete who ranks amongthe cream of the crop in intercollegiate, competition. He issenior Don Mills, a three-letter than who has achieved na-tional prominence on the squash courts.

DON'S RECORD speaks for itself. His victory during-the 1961 season came at Rye, N.Y., where he won the Apa-wamis Club Invitational Squash .Rackets Tourney in lateFebruary. At Rye, he defeated Richard Stewart of the Hart-ford Golf and Tennis Club in straight sets, to cop the title.Don gained the finals when his opponent in the semis, CalMcCracken of the Princeton Club — one of the top threesenior men players in the.country and seeded first in thetourney—was forced to default when he pulled a leg; muscle.However, Don was leading McCracken 2-0 at the time.
