TRINITY COLLEGE Alumni News January-' I946 • REVEREND REMSEN BRINCKERHOFF OGILBY PRESIDENT OF TRINITY COLLEGE 1920 - 1943 HE OFFERED TO OUR COLLEGE THE SUBSTANCE OF LIFE THIS TABLET IS GIVEN IN HIS MEMORY BY THE TRUSTEES AND FACULTY Editor's Note: The memorial on the front page was dedicated last fall, and is located near the main entrance of the Chapel. The architect of the Chapel, Mr. Philip H. Froman, designed it, and Lew Wallace did the carving. Professor James A. Notopoulos wrote the Latin inscription. It is interesting to note the word "rem" may mean spiritual substance or material substance. It is also a very felicitous pun on Dr. Ogilby's nickname. Certainly Dr. Ogilby will be remembered to hundreds of Trinity men for his spiritual leadership; the physical growth under his presidency, and for his wonderful personality. • TRINITY COLLEGE ALUMNI NEWS PUBLISHED BY THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF TRINITY COLLEGE, HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT Edited by John A. Mason VoL. VII JANUARY · 1946 No.3 President's Message Trinity's war effort is over on the campus, but a look out my window constantly reminds one of its effect. Men in uniform are streaming into the Dean's office seeking admission, and by next fall we should be close to our pre-war enrollment. Over fifteen hundred Trinity men in the armed services risked their lives all over the world, and deserve the gratitude of their college as well as their country. Especially should we alumni remember the fifty-seven men listed below who have made the supreme sacrifice. Their spirit will ever remain here. We can assure you that the College is dedicated to doing its utmost to help the world profit by the sacrifice that they have made. As soon as possible it is our intention to publish a memorial booklet telling of their lives. Plans are being made to erect on campus a suitable memorial so that their names will be an inspiration to the coming College generations, and will be perpetuated at the College they loved.
