The pre ident­ Williams emeritus donned the jacket immediately and proudly 2 wore it to the homecoming game with Bowdoin. The "Williams tribute included an anecdote about the president as he approached the home of a wealthy man with no Colby connections seeking financial help for the college. "Dr. Bixler introduced himself red­ faced and said, 'Sir, I'm going to blurt this out and then go along. I came here to ask for a gift to Colby College.' The man put his arm on Dr. Bixler's shoulder and said, '\\ hy of course, would $10,000 be helpful to Colby? All right, now come clown and meet my guests.' ...af ter that Dr. Bixler was a tiger in raising money. Thus, you can ee that the marriage of a philosopher-theologian and the crass materialist is not impossible of attainment. Recognition this Colby Night of Dr. and i\Irs. Bixler is richly deser\'ed. Many of us present o"·e far more than we will ever be able to repay." In remarks following the presentation, President Strider noted that the Bixlers, with travel and lectures, still are "busier than many of us who regard ourselves as having full-time jobs. "And you go t me started on this dubious path," President Strider remarked, "during a decade when the course that American higher education has taken has been very different from what it was while you were president.. But the excitement you generated in me when I first came to talk to you about Colby has never abated .... You have always bolstered me up with your encouraging remarks. "Because of the fact that Seelye Bixler imbued me with the spirit of what Colby meant to him and what it has meant to generations of Colby alumni before, I became aware, even in my \\"Orst moments, ol the po­ tentialit of this institution for excellence over the years, building on what he helped us achieve ...and what his predecessors had started.

Drawing on literature concerning assistance, the political economy in which it is given, and psychological dimensions of regulation, I investigate the nature and function of objectives stated by aid providers. I argue that whereas discourse is manoeuvred to approve whatever NGOs undertake, the assistance delivered is so far from its objectives as to question what guidance they offer and their strategic merit. Additionally, the NGOs’ approach disregards failure by allowing operational weaknesses to blame or discredit others, rather than being acknowledged to reflect on interventions.

Housewives are helping with rationing; white-collar men are laboring on the assembly lines of war plants; and high school students are pursuing courses to fit them for their war duties. In every waking moment, the nation is kept aware of the \yar because in this World War II, the war effort and its effects are felt by every living person— the drastic rationing, the unselfish denial of comforts, and the drafting of husbands, sons, and fathers in the services. Since our every thought is of war, it is, therefore, only fitting that the theme of our ’43 yearbook should be a patriotic one. However, the remembrance of these troublous times will not be of as great interest to us in the future as will the pleasant memories of our school days with their exciting foot­ ball games, their fast moving basketball matches, their lengthy debates, their enervating tests, and their intriguing class dis­ cussions. Nor shall we forget the school building itself, our friends, and our teachers. In order that a concise retrospect of our high school life may be preserved for the future, the class of ’43 has compiled this record of its activities, the ’43 "West-O-Ranger.” 1 C Cl tI iI O IV This year we dedicate our book to those teachers and boys from our school who are giving their very lives that the democratic principles we so firmly uphold may continue to flourish in our land.

  • Baseball Game Fun!
    Baseball Game Fun! Did you know that the game of baseball can be traced back to the American Revolution (1775-1783)? According to History.com, a game that resembled baseball is said to have been developed from two English games, both which involved the use of a bat and a ball: 1. Rounders (a children’s game brought to New England by the colonists); and 2. another popular game—Cricket. During the American Revolution, there were different versions of these games played in schoolyards and college campuses all over the country. In 1845, more than 170 years ago, the New York Knickerbocker Baseball Club was founded. One of its members, Alexander Joy Cartwright, created a set of rules that were the foundation for the baseball played today! He decided upon a diamond-shaped infield, foul lines, and the three-strike rule. In addition, Cartwright got rid of the dangerous practice of tagging runners by throwing baseballs at them (Ouch!). By 1846, the Knickerbockers played their first official game, and baseball became an official sport, unique to America. And then, in 1943, the All-American Girls Baseball League (AAGBL) was created, and in nine years, more than 600 women played in the league. Within the first five years, the number of spectators in attendance at games was over 900,000! One of the most noteworthy teams in the AAGBL was the Rockford Peaches of Illinois. They were one of two teams to play in every AAGBL season, and they won the league championship in 1945, 1948, 1949 and 1950. Throughout this time, Dorothy Kamenshek, Lois Florreich, Dorothy Harrell, Carolyn Morris, Alice Pollitt, Ruth Richard, Rose Gacioch, Eleanor Callow, and Joan Berger were all named to All-Star teams.

The story of the United States' involvement in the Second World War initially took shape through the pens and lenses of war correspondents and the home front press and the typewriters of government public relations officers. Journalists like Ernie Pyle, Homer Bigart and GI cartoonist Bill Mauldin aspired to transmit the true essence of the war, while the media's lesser lights and the PR men presented a sanitized record draped in patriotic bravado. 1 In the immediate post-war period, the branches of the Armed Forces issued official histories that dealt primarily with battle maneuvers and administrative matters.2 As the surviving luminaries among the Western Allies retired from the military and/or public life in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, they composed (with the assistance of ghostwriters in some cases) and published their memoirs, followed shortly thereafter by their subordinates.

FOR THE RUTGERS ORAL HISTORY ARCHIVES WORLD WAR II * KOREAN WAR * VIETNAM WAR * COLD WAR INTERVIEW CONDUCTED BY KATHRYN H. TRACY SYRACUSE, NEW YORK JANUARY 13, 2001 TRANSCRIPT BY KATHRYN H. TRACY Kathryn Tracy: This begins an interview on January 13, 2001 in Syracuse, New York with Charles Sedgwick Tracy, Sr. I want to begin by talking about the family history. Let us talk about your paternal side, first. Charles Sedgwick Tracy, Sr.: My father was born in 1873, son of Colonel Osgood V. Tracy, who was in the 122nd New York Volunteer Regiment during the Civil War. … His brother, Will Tracy, had also joined up in that same regiment, and they fought all during the Civil War. … My Uncle Will, who had gotten commissioned through the influence of a very strong mother, decided that he didn't deserve the commission and resigned. He went out to Indiana and entered as a private in an Indiana regiment, where he first was in battle. He later ended up on the staff of General [Henry Warner] Slocum of the VI Corps. At the Battle of Chancellorsville, he was taking a message to one of the division commanders, and in that wilderness of woods and thickets, he got lost. … He found that all of a sudden, on his horse, that he had wandered into what appeared to be a Confederate battery. He realized that he had a very important message to deliver, and the Confederates didn't recognize him at once, because he was all covered with dust.
