An alumna photographer captures in her pictures the beauty and spirit of a 90-year-old Texas rancher and his 62- square-acre ranch, and describes in her prose the strength and purpose of the rancher's family from the frontier days when they settled the ranch until today as they fight to remain independent of encroaching industrialization and mergers and acquisitions.

att Matthews is ninety years old and still in charge. One of the last of the great Texas cat- W tlemen, he operates Lambshead Ranch, which covers sixty-two square miles in Throckmorton and Shackelford Counties. Except for four years at Princeton Univer- sity, Matthews has spent his entire life on the ranch, and his listing in the Princeton class directory of 1921 has never changed - "Rancher, Box 636, Albany, Texas." He carries within him the history of a large part of the cattle industry, from the time of the Civil War to the present day. On Christmas Day, 1876, Matthews' mother, Sallie Reynolds, married Matthews' father, John Matthews. By 1883, four Reynolds brothers had married into the family. The combined force of the two families pushed back the Comanche frontier and held the open range along the Clear Fork of the Brazos River. While his position was inherited, Mat- thews' leadership is earned and indisputable. He holds sway over Lambshead Ranch with democratic ease and maintains a simple life close lo the people who work on the ranch. The shared expectations of Matthews and his people have bound them together in mutual dependence. He knows of their flirtations and feuds, their troubles and triumphs. Matthews is at the center of a world which reflects Texas a century ago. He upholds the customs of an older society with its careful gradations of workers and family, neighbors and friends. He is a Western aristocrat with natural generosity and great strength of character. Matthews, and Matthews alone, runs Lambshead. Except for one ninety-nine year old sister, Lucile, he is the last of the nine children. Matthews has never married, nor has he ever been engaged, yet he is the head of a large, extended family of nieces, double cousins, and great-great nephews. Texas rancher Watt Matthews, who turned 9/ in February, surveys his land.

Who has the interest, or the shrewdness, or the passion necessary to keep this vast ranch together? The four ranches surrounding Lambshead are all run by the trust departments of large, urban banks. BUI Matthews has kept Lamb- shead intact. He has held onto his history. He has hung onto his authority. While the rest of Texas has become part of the late twentieth century, Lambshead Ranch has remained its own separate world. Albany, the Shackelford county seat, is twenty miles away. The Matthews Memo- rial Presbyterian Church was built there in 1898 in memory of Matthews' grandfather. Matthews' uncle, George Reynolds, was the prime mover in building the Albany bank, which has been rock solid at times when big banks all over Texas were failing. Bob Green, a neighboring rancher, said, «In breeding livestock you can get a certain strain. Once in a great while you can see the "Watt is cognizant of minute changes in the land the way a ship's captain knows how to read the wind and the direction of the swells" said neighboring rancher Bob Green of Watt Matthews, above. genes mesh just right to make an animal of distinction.

He'll call a former classmate who was chairman of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, or his brother-in-law who was a congressman in Washington, or a nephew who was a lawyer in Houston. He is never high-handed. "The fact that he went to college didn't mean anything to the boys on the ranch," says a neighboring rancher, "but being a pallbearer at their funerals, and going to their children's high school graduation and maintaining a rapport with their kinfolks did.".

9 INCREDIBLE EDIBLES: FOOD PLANTS AND CIVILIZATION

by Professor of Botany Sally Taylor SUGARS

Connecticut College's Botany Department has existed for 60 People have always liked the taste of sweet things. Honey, the years and offers students a program that is unique in small original concentrated sweetener, contains glucose and fructose, liberal arts colleges in the Northeast. Unlike other colleges in the Twelve College Exchange, the New England Small College Athletic Conference and other colleges that Con- necticut College competes with/or top students, Connecti- cut's botany department is independent of any other department such as bioLogy, zoology, or horticulture. In addition, students are able to conduct field work in the 435-acre Connecticut College Arboretum. which is across the street from the campus. The botany faculty (five professors, including an ethnobotanist who holds a joint appointment in botany and anthropology) and their students specialize in tidal and inland wetlands research. The department offers a graduate as well as an undergraduate degree in botany.

uman beings had a simple relationship to food in the early days of small, nomadic tribes. They ate the fruits, seeds, leaves and roots of plants which were available in H season, and they followed the migration of animals. If they failed to live in balance with their food source, they starved. The plant kingdom serves as the underpinning to all of the animal kingdom because it alone has the remarkable ability to put together the inert molecules of carbon dioxide and water, using the energy of the sun and chlorophyll that is present in all green cells. We can rearrange and construct other molecules, using the nitrogen from protein, but we can't create all of the essential amino acids we require using only mineral forms of nitrogen. Only plants can do that. So, the basis of our diet must be the plants around us. Plant resources have been manipulated and exploited since people first learned to save seeds from harvest time to the next planting time. The Spanish conquerors who came to the Andean highlands in the 1500s found Indians eating chunos, a primitive freeze-dried potato product, and forced the Indians to work the silver mines by rationing this food. From feudal times in Europe, the landowner who controlled a wheat grinding mill could charge what he could get away with, and adulterate the flour. On the high seas, Captain Bligh's mutinous crew threw overboard the breadfruit plants the ship was carrying to the West Indies, where they were to form the basis for a cheap starchy diet for slaves working the sugar cane mills. The potential for conflict over food sources still exists today. Ethiopia is one example, where political policies to block food Illustrations by delivery to refugees are the root of the famine in that country. Dale Julier. The story of food in our modem diet is related to component carbohydrates, fats and amino acids.

Honey had a powerful hold on the taste buds of early societies because of the mysterious way in which it appeared. The connection between bees, flowers, nectar and honey was an obscure one to these early societies. The «land flowing with milk and honey" mentioned in Exodus 12:8 reminds us that from earliest times this natural sweetener was valued. Pliny the Elder, the Roman naturalist and writer (23-79 AD) speculated in his work Historia naturalis that honey came from the air, that it might , be the perspiration of the sky or the saliva of the stars. Table sugar as we know it comes from sugar cane, which is a large grass, and sugar beets. Sugar cane is a warm climate plant of Asiatic origin that was transported to almost any area of the world where it would grow. In Central America, natives were using com stalks for a sweet "chew" when Europeans arrived in the l400s. In India, native people knew bow to produce brown sugar crystals 1000 years ago. The Crusaders met sugar in the Middle East, and sugar was first imported through Venice to England in tbe 1300s. Over the centuries sugar went from being / treated as a medicine or spice to an essential staple. The increased use of sugar cane in Europe was possible only because of the colonial exploitation in 1520 of Brazil by the Portuguese, and of Barbados by the British, wbo introduced slaves there in 1630. These climates and soils favored cane cultivation, so it was possible to break the Islamic world's monopoly of the sugar trade by creating a greater monopoly. The political legacy of these earlier adventurers in the New Professor Taylor World is with us still in our relationship to Cuba. After Cuba revolted against Spain in 1896 to escape a high tariff on sugar, we Botany Professor Sally Taylor instituted the granted preferred status to Cuban sugar.

12 Sailing to Norway: A FAMILY ON COURSE

by Cynthia Sacknoff Gould '62

13 'A re you out of your mind? Are you crazy? You can't be serious! Good God, you really mean it! Well, just because you've lost your mind and I happen to be married to you doesn't mean that I've gone crazy too!" Thus my reaction 10 my husband's proposi- tion in the fall of 1981: "Honey, wouldn't it be wonderful to sail Free Spirit as a family across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe?" Bob is a creative thinker, bUI he's also an indefatigable action-oriented doer, the perfect combination of qualities that enable him to be an outstanding surgeon in his daily life as well as an excellent sailor during his leisure time. However, cross the Atlantic? No way! Once Bob had made his decision to follow a lifelong dream of sailing across the Atlantic with the goal of seeing the wild fjords of northern Norway, he knew enough not to push me. It was clear that he wanted us to explore this part of the world as a family. But he understood that if the crossing was too scary for us, he would be delighted to have our company even if we chose to fly over and meet him there. But sometime in that winter of 1982, the idea of actually doing the crossing began to appeal to me intellectually. Boy, if I could ever really accomplish such a seemingly impossible task, nothing in my life would ever seem unattainable again! Our oldest son, Peter, 17 at the time, was ecstatic about joining his father. Elizabeth, 15, also was interested in the crossing, although the thought of leaving her friends behind for a whole summer was difficult for her. John, age 10, was the only intelligent child whose fear and respect for the power of the ocean made him hesitant. John had been on sailboats since he was two, and he had heard about the 110 mph winds of an extratropical cyclone his father went through The Gould family all aboard in 1982.
