  • 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

Grant and contract revenue for 2002 reached an all time high of $6.6 million, with Financial Report ........................ 9 more than two-thirds of the new research grants Gifts & Grants .......................... 9 ($4.7M) provided by U.S. government agencies, particularly the National Science Foundation. The Institute also had a successful year of discovery, as measured by the publication of our scientists’ research results in top-tier journals. A number of articles have or will soon appear in such respected publications as The Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, The Plant Cell, The Plant Journal and The Journal of Biological Chemistry. In addition, Greg Martin and Jim Giovannoni’s teams have each published high profile/high impact research in the premier scientific journals Cell and Science, respectively. 2002 also was a year of transition with the departure of three faculty members and the hiring of three new scientists (see opposite page). The Institute’s 2001 Reallocation Process and a new Development Program, under Dorothy Reddington’s direction, bore abundant fruit in 2002. We received a multi-million dollar grant from Atlantic Philanthropies to develop the new Molecular and Chemical Ecology Program in collaboration with Cornell University; a new Plants and Human Health Grant from The Park Foundation; a new postdoctoral fellowship program sponsored by the Francis Goelet Foundation; a major equipment grant from Monsanto, which is transforming the Institute’s plant growth facilities; and a large NSF-sponsored multi-user equipment and instrumentation resource grant co-authored by Tom Brutnell and Greg Martin.
