Along the Walk r\long the Walk Along the Walk Along- the Walk LIBRARY COMPUTER CONSORTIUM FORMED The Trinity library has embarked on a new, collaborative effort with the Connecticut College and Wesleyan University libraries to computerize their holdings and some operations. Trinity librarian Ralph S. Emerick explained that the venture was under­ taken because the three colleges and their libraries are similar in size and structure, and all three are eager to make the move to computerization. When completed, the three colleges' in­ tegrated library system will feature an on-line catalog, taking the place of the existing 3x5 cards, and a database management system, computerizing se­ 2 lected operations of library staff in cir­ culation, acquisitions and serials. As a first step, each department in the library completed a detailed needs assessment to determine which aspects of its work had computer applications. l' Next, representatives of the three li- 8 braries, with consultant Rod McGee of -;:­ Chicago, began work on a proposal for ~ the system, which was submitted to ~ five computer manufacturers offering ~ the greatest number of features desired POET ALLAN GINSBERG spent an evening on campus this fall reading his for the library system.

  • Trinity College Bulletin, November 1951
    1-1RINITY COLLEGE ALUMNI NEWS ISSUE NOVEMBER 1951 HARTFORD CONNECTICUT Bulletin President's Page To Trinity Alumni: By this time we are well into the one hundred twenty-ninth academic year of the College. In a few more days, half of the 1951 football season will have gone by, the Sophomore Hop will have been held or thrown (annually, the proper verb becomes apparent only in retrospect ), and even the hardiest of our undergraduates will have formed the conclusion that the climate of Hartford in late October calls for clothing a little more substantial than summer sports jackets. Text books have all been purchased, R.O.T.C. uniforms have come or are arriving, no more changing of courses is permitted and classes have thus settled down to something like a normal routine, and Dean Clarke's very commendable social program for the Freshmen has shown the Class of 1955 the road to N'ohhampton. The fraternities have chosen their pledges, and both groups are justifiably happy about the re­ sults. For reasons that evade my comprehension, students still ride in automobiles from the houses on Vernon Street to the Chapel and to classes. In short, the old order has not changed so very much since the days of many of you. There is, however, one distinctive aspect of the fall of 1951 which all of you, if you come here, would perceive and, I am sure, regret. We do not have enough dormitory space. There are 922 undergraduates registered at the College this year, 614 of whom are in residence on the campus.

In researching and writing about the history of Williamstown, we understand that we have not been subject to the same biases that have impacted minority groups for hundreds of years. While we cannot fully understand the extent to which racism has affected individuals and families from our own experience, we hope that our efforts to describe the events of the past pay tribute to the pain and suffering that many people of color have had to endure. Overview of Project This report was conducted as a semester-long project for Williams College's Environmental Planning Workshop (ENVI 302). This class is one of the required courses for seniors to complete to fulfill their Environmental Studies Major and/or Concentration (minor). The professor for this course is Sarah Gardner. Professor Gardner connected clients from the Williamstown community with Williams College seniors taking this course. Students worked with various clients on unique planning projects. 3 Table of Contents Introduction...........................................................................................4-6
