Symposium Probes Role of Ideology

Can a Nazi propaganda film be granted kudos for cinematography? Can a Marxist historian be credited with objective narratives without discounting economic doctrines? A faculty-organized "Art, Knowledge and Ideology" sympo­ sium in October will examine ques­ tions such as these.

That encounter was the beginning of our 18-day adventure in Kenya and Tanzania. Our itinerary was ambitious. The enthusiasm of our guide, Mark Ross, a ten-year safari veteran, inspired us to eye-opening game runs at sunrise, to patient hours of waiting for predators and their quarry, Photo by Margaret Churchill to lurching, dusty rides over the acacia plains, to spirited bargaining in native shops and markets, and to stimulating eve­ huts abut a 44-square-mile game park.

Nearby is Giraffe Manor, a sanctuary for the endangered Rothschild species of giraffe. From specially designed platforms we went head-to­ head with several giraffes who slurped food pel­ lets from our hands with their 18-inch-long tongues. A highlight of our Nairobi stay was a garden reception at the home of David McCloud '72 and his wife, Roberta, both of whom work for the U.S. Agency for International Development. Their informed observations and their handsome collection of African sculpture added considerably to our understanding of the local culture.

ON THE ROAD We left the hustle of Nairobi for the beckoning open country beyond the city limits. For the first week we completed a northern loop (see map) through Kenya's Central Highlands, the Rift Val­ 9 ley lakes and the arid, semi-desert of Samburu be­ fore returning to Nairobi.

CLIMATE One of the real surprises was the weather. Be­ cause Kenya and Tanzania are near the equator, temperature variations were not extreme, ranging between 70 and 85 in the daytime and from 55 to 60 at night. T emperature and humidity were also moderated by the altitude which varied between 3,000 and 7,500 feet. Nairobi is at 5, 970 feet with an ideal climate of warm days and cool nights. January and February are the warmest months; July and August the coolest. The "long rains" come in April and May and the " short rains" in November and D ecember. There were surprisingly few insects. Though we sometimes slept under mosquito netting at night, it was more of a romantic notion than a ne­ cessity. New Jersey and Connecticut mosquitoes are far fiercer and more numerous than their East African counterparts. Being on the equator, we had equal helpings of daylight and darkness. Night arrived like some­ one pulling down the shade. With neither air pol­ lution nor city lights to obscure them, the stars were more brilliant and more numerous than we could ever recall.

Churchill ISSUES AND PROBLEMS 14 On the down side, it became increasingly evi­ - dent that the safari may be an endangered experi­ ence. Within a few years wildlife viewing will be either greatly curtailed or highly controlled. The message is that if you are considering an African trip, do it soon because the pressures on the ani­ mals and countryside are mounting. Kenya, for example, has one of the world's highest birth rates: the population is doubling ev­ ery 17 years. This, in turn, puts more pressure on the land for both development and agriculture. Only about 17 percent of the land is arable and most of that is under cultivation. Farming has obliterated many of the old game migration routes, and the animals are being squeezed into small preserves that cannot sustain their current numbers. Poaching is also taking its toll, particu­ larly on elephants and rhinos, which are hunted for their tusks and horns. White rhinos are virtu­ ally extinct and the black rhino population has been decimated in the past ten years.

or a few days each year, Trinity alumni set aside their daily routines and return to col­ F lege life. It's an event that creates special memories for those who make the trip back. This year more than 1,200 Trinity alumni, their families and friends, came back for the June 9-12 Bantam Vacation. "The lectures, meals, part1es and events were all good, but the Reunion was about people - catching up, sharing memories and learning about the various interesting paths down which life had taken us," said Jane Gutman '73, who lives in Pa­ cific Palisades, CA. "The final Class of '73 dinner was the highlight because the turnout was good and people seemed genuinely delighted to be to­ gether. There was a wonderful spirit and sense of unity in spite of all the time, experiences and dis­ tance that had separated us." THE QUAD before Forty-five years after graduating, the Rev.

"Memories of college days flooded across the years from the past. I enjoyed sharing those again with my wife and with the 22 others from our class who came too." Highights of his visit included "worship­ ping in the Chapel again with classmates and (other) alumni, excellent lectures, dinner on the Quad, and gabbing at mealtimes with class­ mates." An outstanding memory was "the fel­ lowship and sharing at the Class Dinner when Tribelhorn showed movies of our class gradua­ tion walk and we saw Prexy Dr. Ogilby (so young!) and our classmates and sports events from long ago," Brown noted. "Exhilarating!" was the adjective picked by Lewis M. Walker '38, a Greenville, SC resident, to describe his 50th year Reunion. "Made me want to shed 54 years and start all over again," he stated, adding that he intends to make the 800- mile trip every year back to campus now that he's a member of the Half Century Club. At one point, Class President Dr. Robert D. O'Malley '38 of South Hadley, MA called on each class 24 member to make a statement. "I was greatly - moved at the varied expressions of my old class­ mates," said Walker. "I left there with a great feeling of pride in what they had done with their lives, and a realization of how much our common Trinity experience had contributed to it." Robert A. Gilbert '38 of Vero Beach, ·FL worked many hours preparing a 50th Reunion book that features profiles and photos of his fel-

English, Jr. and President Rea­ gan, Gilbert's book also included current facts about Trinity and an up-to-date campus map marking special Reunion sites. During one Reunion lecture, Professor of En­ glish Emeritus J. Bard McNulty '38 gave a slide­ illustrated talk on William the Conquerer and his rivalry with King Harold of England as depicted in the 11th century Bayeux Tapestry. A seminar on the stock market titled "The Aftermath of Black Monday" was led by Professor of Econom­ ics Ward S. Curran '57; Professor Marshall E.

Alumni Association. Outstanding Class Secretary Award

One day before his 92nd birthday, Melvin E. Shulthiess '18 of Newtown, CT was named outstanding class secretary for 1988. Director of Alumni and College Affairs Gerald J. Hansen, Jr. '51 an­ nounced the award during Reunion at the Half Century Club dinner on June 9. The award was accepted by Melvin W. Title '18 on behalf of Shulthiess, who was unable to attend. "Like all great news reporters, the recipients of this award demonstrate unflagging interest and persistence in digging for news of their classmates for the Trinity Reporter, and they always meet their deadlines," Hansen said. "This year, we are pleased to present the award to one of our most faithful and enthusiastic correspondents; his remarkable memory for his classmates and their years at Trinity enliven the Class of '18 notes. This loyal alumnus, now entering his 10th year as Class secretary, has served as secretary of the alumni association, member of the athletic advisory council, the executive committee of the alumni association and reunion committee, and chairman of the scholarship committee of the Hartford Alumni Association." Born in Hartford, Shulthiess graduated from Hartford Public High School. During his undergraduate years at Trinity, Shulthiess was managing editor of the Tripod, a member of Alpha Chi Rho, Medusa, Senate and the Sophomore Dining Club. He won several scholastic prizes and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He was on the football and track teams as well as the class basketball team. In 1917, Shulthiess enlisted in the U.S. Army where he served as a ser­ geant in the field artillery. Returning to Trinity after World War I, he gradu­ ated with honors in economics in 1919. Shulthiess entered the insurance business after graduation and became as­ 27 sociated with Connecticut General Life Insurance Company in 1923. He - earned a bachelor of laws degree from Hartford College of Law in 1938 and was admitted to the Connecticut Bar. Before retiring from Connecticut Gen­ eral, he was attorney and manager of the Stamford branch. "Known for his near-perfect attendance at Trinity football games for five decades, he has been justifiably proud of the top students he has recruited for Trinity," Hansen said. "Though he can't be with us tonight at his 70th reunion, we thank Mel Shulthiess, Class of '18, for his solid contributions as Class Secretary and congratulate him on a job well done."

SMITH' S newly memory of the 1968 student sit-in is less about de­ minted business card. mands for scholarship aid for black students and more about student critiques of the College and the educational process. "A lot of this (discussion) focused on the insti­ tution," Smith says, "that is: 'What is the institu­ tion doing in respect to these issues?' 'What is the institution doing about its relationship with us, the students?' 'Who owns the College: the faculty, the trustees, the administration, or us?' " "Tom was one of the few people at Trinity at that time able to deal with students as adults," says Jack C. Barthwell III '72, now a vice presi­ dent of the Stroh Brewery Co. " H e was able to see both sides of an argument or of a situation. Tom meant a lot to me during my four years at Trinity.

So much so that we commit­ ted ourselves (and you!) to a record­ breaking 50th Reunion celebration: largest ever turnout for '48 and largest ever 50th Reunion Gift which, as of this writing would mean a whopping $100,109.

In Memory of ((Mr. Trinity"

John Mason's quiet dedication to Trinity endured for more than a half century. During that time his generous gifts of his time, talents and resources earned him the admiration and love of the entire community. Until now, there has been no campus memorial to this gentle man who gave so much of himself to his College, his fraternity St. Anthony Hall, and Trinity men and women everywhere. Phyllis Ma­ son, John's widow and a stalwart supporter of this College in her own right, has offered a generous gift in challenge to all those who would make per­ manent and tangible the memory of "Mr. Trin­ ity." Phyllis' challenge is directed especially to the members of John's Class of 1934, to the men of St. Anthony Hall, and to his many Trinity friends. The new Alumni-Faculty House, situated between "For every visible deed he accom­ the old and new president's houses on Vernon plished in the College's behalf, Street, will be the site of the memorial. It is hoped there were countless other selfless that sufficient funds will be raised through the re­ sponse to the challenge to underwrite the con­ contributions, largely unknown, struction expense of one of the major function but which typified his abiding rooms, which will be named in John Mason's faith in his beloved College." memory.
