The money was sent to the consulate general of Japan in Boston and forwarded to the Red Cross in Japan. More than 15,000 people were killed and thousands more were injured or missing as a result of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami.

Trinity has been awarded an associate membership in the National Genomics Research Initiative, an innovative yearlong course that enables first-year students to do research on soil-dwelling bacterial viruses, called phage. During their first year, students will take two courses devoted to virus research and two introductory biology courses that provide a context for their research. They will complete the program in their sophomore year by taking a research seminar in which they read primary literature and discuss themes and problems in biological research. Their efforts will focus on the collection and characterization of a previously unknown virus, its growth patterns,

More than 60 percent of Trinity students spend either a semester or a full year studying away from campus, either in the United States or abroad. Exploring the world is an important part of a liberal arts education, as it brings students into contact not only with different languages, but with different views of history, different values and perspectives, and different habits of daily life. The College A operates its own programs in Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Cape Town, Paris, Rome, Trinidad, and Vienna.

These programs connect the urban and global by immersing students in their host cities, which they use as learning laboratories abroad. This spring, we asked Brussels-based photojournalist Jock Fistick to visit each of the four Trinity programs in Europe to give us a look at the day-to-day lives of our students.

Altogether, 48 teams The students (from left to ri~ht) are: James Geisler '1 4, Michael qualified for the Des Moines event, with UCLA Galligan '11 , Zachary Green 11, Stephen Gruendel '11 , Andres defeating New York University for the top prize.

"The Illinois Scholarship was a life-altering miracle,D says Ward S. Curran '57, the WardS. Curran Distinguished Professor of Economics. From Springfield, Illinois, Curran was most likely headed to the University of Illinois when a high­ school guidance counselor suggested Trinity College and the Illinois Scholarship. Curran admits that his life would have turned out differently had he not received the scholarship that led him to a successful 50-year teaching career at Trinity. Since 1948, Scholarships for Illinois Residents, Inc. (SIRI) has brought more than 400 exceptionally qualified Illinois students to Trinity College. This spring, the institution will achieve a milestone: giving scholarships, benefits, and other commitments in excess of $IO million. last fall , SIRI had its name added to the College's Wall of Honor, a tribute that "celebrates the institution-building impact the corporation has had on Trinity,» says Christine Nilson Foote, the College's director of donor relations. The wall is s A

located in the Fuller Arch on the Long Walk, and names of donors are carved into the brownstone slabs there. "The bulk of the more than 400 Illinois Scholars have, over the years, contributed to the life of this institution," says Curran. "Some have been, or currently are, on the Board of Trustees. Many have led productive lives in academics, clergy. business, medicine, and law." Illinois Scholars include Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist George Will '62, pathologist Steven P. Nuernberger '67, and judge Patrice Ball-Reed '8o. Curran was one of 13 Illinois Scholars in his freshman class. He notes that four members of that group- himself included­ went on to receive Ph.D.s, and a fifth earned his M.D. "And ours was not an unusual class," says Curran. "Those classes including Illinois Scholars who preceded and followed us produced their share of Ph.D.s." Marta Zamroziewicz '13

A friend of the College

The Illinois Scholarship program began with a gift from the Walter P. Murphy Foundation. Murphy, a successful industrialist who died in 1942 without heirs, owned the Standard Railway Equipment Company He was not a graduate of Trinity, nor of any college, but he was a friend of Martin W Clement, a 1901 Trinity graduate and a trustee of the College from 1930 until 1963. In 1947, Clement, along with Trinity President G. Keith Funston, worked with the foundation to establish an Illinois-based scholarship program to benefit Trinity That original gift was $8oo,ooo and, through careful stewardship, the endowment is now greater than $8 million, says Bob Pedemonti '6o, former treasurer and vice president of finance at Trinity Pedemonti serves as secretary and treasurer of S [ RI and, along with Curran, has been responsible for much of the behind­ the-scenes work of the corporation over the last few decades. ''All this has been done on the growth of the endowment," says Pedemonti, as SIRI does no fundraising.

Since its inception, the nature of the program has evolved, says Bob Kehoe '69, a Chicago-based lawyer and president of SIRI's board. "Our mission has always been to help the College get the best possible students to campus."

As the College shifted its admissions focus, SIRI adjusted its scholarship program accordingly In the early days of the program, the emphasis was on affordability, says Kehoe, and the corporation offered grants and loans to enable Award recipient Marta was also able to design a the success of the qualified Illinois students Zarnroziewicz, a rising research project on mental corporation, says Kehoe. to pay the escalating cost junior from Poplar Grove, illness in Hartford's All of the 15 board of higher education in the Illinois, who plans to homeless population.

Penny's commitment to her alma mater inspired her to name Trinity in her estate plans. "This is an easy way to provide for Trinity in the future. I encourage everyone to think about the organizations that have helped them throughout their lives and to support them by setting aside a portion of their estates for those organizations."

ack some twenty years or so, when I was serving as impossible increase had occurred. I demurred, trying to B dean of the faculty and vice-provost at SMU, I had grasp what possible logical explanations might be proffered the privilege of working with the best numbers cruncher as a reasonable response. of my long career. This fellow, one of our associate deans, We fast forward two years or so to the Trinity College could look at a set of data and extrapolate all manner of Fund Challenge: against the backdrop of one of the worst interpretations of random numbers that would perplex economic crises to hit the country and the world since the the rest of us. One of his quips, when first looking at Great Depression, coupled to a radical shift in philanthropy some data set, was always "implausible to the point of to every eleemosynary cause imaginable. Even under being impossible." As I have remarked over the years, those conditions, Trinity alumni elected to participate in Trinity has occasioned me to use the good dean's pithy the Trinity College Fund at an unprecedented 55 percent, phrase often. Thus, when asked about the "implausible to up from 47 percent only one year before, positioning the point of being impossible" increase in the number of Trinity as one of the top six colleges and universities in completed applications for the Class of 2015 (the one that the entire United States in alumni participation. will matriculate this fall), I have relied upon my former How else to explain the completely "implausible to the colleague's reaction because what has transpired here at point of being impossible" thirteenth year in a row for our College does in fact fall into his rubric. We have our men's squash team, after they defeated Yale in a heart­ had an astonishing 48.4 percent increase in applications stopping set of matches the last weekend of February? compared to last year, something so statistically unique And now back to the Class of 2015, with an as to be qualified only by the dean's turn of phrase. " implausible to the point of being impossible" increase of From the vantage point now of nearly seven years as 48.4 percent in completed applications over last year: with your president, however, a number of data fall likewise rising academic standards being met, historic numbers into the same category of "implausible to the point of of international students applying for a place in the class, being impossible." The fall of 2005 witnessed 627 and equally remarkable diversity representation across the students matriculating here at Trinity, when we had set board.
