Issued six times a year by Trinity College- January, March, May, July, October and ovember. Entered January 12, 1904, at Hartford, Connecticut, as second-class matter, under the Act of Congress of July 16, 1894. Accepted for mailing at special rate of postage provided for in Secrion I 103, Act of October 3, 1917, authorized March 3, 1919. EDITED BY JOHN A. MASON, '34 VoLUME XLVI NEW SERIES NuMBER 2 Memorial Field House, Elton Hall Dedicated Memorial Field House (above) was formally dedicated on Lincoln's birthday, February 12, at an impressive ceremony witnessed by more than 1500 alumni, friends, and students, . Earlier in the day, the new dormitory was dedicated to the memory of John Prince Elton, '88, former chairman of the Board of Trustees. At the right, President Funston is pictured receiving the key to Elton Hall from Louis W. Downes, '88, while Mr. Elton's daughters, Mrs. Roderic M. Cross and Mrs. Arthur E. Allen, Jr., and his grandson, John Elton Allen, look on. Principals in the field house dedication ceremony, shown at the right, were Ray Oosting, Director of Athletics, A. Northey Jones, Development Campaign Chairman who pre­ sented the building, the Rt. Rev. Walter H. Gray, Hon., '41, Brigadier General Archie J. Old of the Air Force, principal speaker, and President Funston. The academic, military, and religious ceremony was staged on the canvas-draped basketball floor at 3 p.m. The lower right photograph was taken as General Old praised the record of Trinity's 70 war heroes. A few minutes later color guards, representing the services in which Trinity men died, marched on the floor for a salute to the war dead (lower left). Seymour Page, Jr., and Charles Dabrowski, two veterans who are now top cadet officers in Trinity's Air ROTC unit, unveiled the bronze memorial plaque in a scene pictured on the cover. The climax came as Bishop Gray, in his dedication prayer, asked that the building "serve to preserve the memory of brave men made immortal by self-forgetfulness. Here may the sons of Trinity train their bodies to be servants and not masters; here discipline their wills in that teamwork which teaches men to play and work as one for the common good; and here strengthen their spirits to face victory and defeat alike and to be overcome by neither."

Vogel, Assistant Professor of English

PuBLIC SPEAKING is a new tenant in college halls. Until thirty years ago public speaking was only an occasional visitor intruding into elocution or rhetoric courses. Then it moved in, and soon became in many places a noisy and unpleasant neighbor. Adding courses rapidly, it raised a large family. For those who wanted to get through college with a minimum of effort, speech was too often the field in which to major. The speech family included such offspring as oral reading, speech correction, radio, acting, scene design, costume design, television - even courses in stage makeup. In public speaking itself there came a serious change. Emphasis was placed on the "speech personality." Students were to develop the ability to "sell themselves." The purpose of speech courses was to encourage the glib. Yet within the last five years a course in public speaking and another in dramatic technique Professor Vogel have been added to the offerings of the English their interest and because each student speaks department at Trinity. Any course in technique, only when he desires to speak, the problem of a "skill" course, does not easily fit into the stage fright, always one of the largest problems liberal arts concept. Courses in speech and in speech training, is reduced to a minimum. dramatics, in particular, have shown a tendency During the Christmas term of 1948-49 the mean to grow beyond their usefulness to the liberal number of speeches among the members of the arts. What, then, are Trinity's reasons for these two sections of the course was twenty. The new courses? lowest number was nine, and the highest was For the speech course the reason is simple; forty-six. At the beginning of the term the men talk more than they write. Speech is their speeches were short, but gradually they increased primary method of communication. It has a in length until speeches of seven or eight minutes logical place in a liberal arts program. So Trinity were not unusual. When we remember that has attempted to devise a course in public skill in speaking is developed through practice, speaking which will, first of all, fit properly into these figures become significant. a plan of liberal arts training.

AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE of $8,929 in gifts by 213 men to the 1949 Alumni Fund for College operating expenses was reported on February 1 by Sydney D. Pinney, chairman. Class agents have mobilized for the drive to raise $30,000 by Commencement to help keep in the College budget some of the necessities of education which might otherwise be c ut because of the inflationary increases in College operating expenses. The class of 1884 was the first group to report unanimous support of the Alumni Fund with every living member contributing and four gifts "in memoriam." Lawson Purdy is agent for the class of '84. The reunion classes, which are expected to give generous support to the Alumni Fund, are led in first returns by the class of 1934. Charles T. Kingston, Jr. , class agent for the 15th reunion group, reports 16 contributors. "The success of the Alumni Fund depends upon the number of contributors," Mr. Pinney said in announcing early returns. "Too often alumni feel that small gifts are not welcome and give nothing. Trinity needs the full support of all its alumni. Never before in the history of American education has the existence and continuance of private colleges been so dependent on its alumni."

MALCOLM-SMITH IS HOT DISC JOCKEY TOO Ever since a day in 1917 when the original Dixieland Jazz Band visited his hometown dance hall George Mal­ colm-Smith, '25, has been fascinated with the strange rhythms of hot music. He is now an expert connoisseur and has his own program on Station WTIC every Saturday night from eleven-thirty to midnight when he plays out­ standing "Gems of American Jazz" and comments on the musicians. Often he interviews other jazz enthusiasts. For a time his youthful interest was sidelined by such serious things as Dean Academy, Trinity College and the hard business world. In College he was managing editor of the Tripod and then editor in chief. His classmates elected him their president and later secretary-treasurer. George also found time to serve on the Senate, the Soph Hop Committee, and the Freshman-Junior Banquet Com­ mittee. He belonged to Phi Gamma Delta, and is now active in restoring the Chapter on campus. Another ambition was writing and he successfully suc­ ceeded in securing a part-~ime job with the Hartford Courant (Radio Mirror photo) in his sophomore year. Thanks to the thorough training George with Mary and Kirby that he received with the country's oldest newspaper, George easily landed a position with the Waterbury Repub­ "Slightly Perfect" and "The Grass Is Always Greener" lican after leaving Trinity. There, besides writing he became which describes a man who awoke one morning to find interested in cartoons, and soon was promoted to the he was not himself.
