Trinity College Bulletin, July 1948 • TRINITY COLLEGE JULY·l948ALUMNI NEWS ISSUE BulZett'n HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT -' President's Message Dear Fellow Alumni: A year and a half ago, we launched the biggest campaign in the history of the College for our urgently needed Field House, a dormitory, an extension to the library, and endowment. This 125th Anniversary Development Program for $1,500,000 was started entirely on faith ­ faith that alumni and friends would support with their dollars a Trinity struggling with the unprecedented responsibilities of the post-war period. The campaign shaped up quickly under the able direction of Northey Jones, '17, Martin Clement, '01, and Bob Morris, '16. These three men did yeoman service. Their enthusiastic leadership never faltered. Judge Philip McCook, '95, Charles Woodward, '98, and the late John P. Elton, '88, were towers of strength. Syd Pinney, '18, stands out as an example of a loyal Trinity man. As chairman of the Greater Hartford alumni area he did a job that will remain an inspiration. These leaders, the class agents, the area heads, and others too numerous to mention rallied to the support of the College in building up an alumni team which, two weeks before the drive's time limit, reached not only the alumni goal of $500,000 but also the total cam­ paign goal of a million and a half dollars. It was the gift of alumnus Charles Woodward that pushed over the top the alumni goal and thereby the total goal. Cornerstones for Memorial Field House and for Elton Hall (a dormitory named in memory of John P. Elton, '88) were laid at Com­ mencement time and the buildings will be completed this fall. A sub­ stantial sum will be added to endowment. Large sums were specified • for scholarships, and hence despite the attainment of our dollar objective we do not yet have sufficient subscriptions to undertake the library extension. With a total of $359,000 now earmarked for the library (in memory of George N. Hamlin, '91), I have faith that the additional money needed will be given within the next year. I am personally grateful to the many alumni and friends of the College who gave so much of their time and substance in this great anniversary effort. They have underwritten an opportunity for greater service and guaranteed the continued high standing of Triq.itY among her sister colleges. Their hours of patient toil and of self sacrifice will return many fold as generations of Trinity men, today and tomorrow, receive the blessings of a strengthened Alma Mater. Sincerely yours, G. KEITH FuNSTON COVER President Funscon and worker leve l Memorial Field House cornerstone at Reunion Weekend ceremonies. Issued six times a year by Trinity College-January, March, May, July, October and November. Entered January 12, 1904, at Hartford, Connecticut, as second-class matter, under the Act of Con­ gress of july 16, 1894. Accepted for mailing at special rate of postage provided for in Secrion 1103, Act of October 3, 1917, authorized March 3, 1919. EDITED BY JOHN A. MASON, '34 VoLUME XLV NEW SERIES NuMBER 4 e Million and a Half Dollar Fund Goal Reached; Prexy Lays Cornerstones for Two Buildings Two HOURS after he announced that the million and a half dollar objective of the 125th Anniver­ sary Development Fund had been subscribed two weeks before the campaign's end, President Funston laid the cornerstones for two of the new buildings: a 106-man, $380,000 dormitory to be called Elton Hall, and a $450,000 athletic cage to be called Memorial Field House for the 67 Trinity men who died in World War II. On the eve of the 125th Anniversary Reunion of alumni, the Development Fund was still several thousand dollars short of its goal. But Charles G. Woodward, '98, College trustee who had been a worker and contributor in six Trinity campaigns since his graduation, handed President Funston a check which put the drive over the top. A $100,000 anonymous addition to scholar­ ship endowment and $28,000 in additional gifts from alumni and friends during the last month of the drive put the campaign within striking distance of the goal. A total of $329,000 was earmarked for scholar­ ships and $359,000 was given toward a library addition for which the College will continue to seek supplementary funds needed to permit construction. Alumni and trustees gave a total of $505,000.

The weekend opened with the annual Faculty­ Alumni dinner in Albert C . Hamlin Dining Hall followed by fraternity reunions at the Chapter Houses. On Saturday morning Chaplain O'Grady conducted Holy Communion and Memorial services for the Trinity men who died during the year. At the latter service the 1896 Pew end was dedicated by Murray Coggeshall, '96, President Funston and Chaplain O'Grady. The Senior Class Day exercises had to be transferred into the Chemistry Auditorium.

  • 1 the Story of Grace Episcopal Church Sheffield
    THE STORY OF GRACE EPISCOPAL CHURCH SHEFFIELD, ALABAMA Written and compiled by Mary Hermine Wilson CHAPTER 1 The City of Sheffield was incorporated February 17, 1885. The town, named for Sheffield, England, was predicted to be a successful industrial city. Sheffield had been selected as a site for a new large-capacity smelting furnaces, the “iron boom” years had begun. Railroads had built been built to transport the raw materials to the furnaces form the mines. The Tennessee River made it economically feasible to ship the finished product to the Eastern markets. All of this activity—the birth of a new city—attracted men of vision to this area. Some of these influential businessmen settled in Sheffield and became important in its development. Among the people moving to Sheffield were life-long Episcopalians anxious to establish their denomination here and have their own place to worship. On January 6, 1887, a group met at the home of Mr. R. C. Randolph, at 900 Montgomery Avenue (in a home which stood where the Montgomery Arms apartment complex now stands), and with the assistance of the Reverend B. F. Mower, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, Florence, Alabama, organized Grace Church, Sheffield. Records do not show the names of all the persons present at this first meeting, but the first vestry elected was: Messer’s R.C. Randolph, Edward Jones, R. I. Hill, J. D. Watkins, E.C. Downs, and J. P. Lee. Mr. Randolph was elected senior warden and treasurer, and Edward Jones was elected junior warden and secretary. During 1887, services were held at the first public school in Sheffield—a frame building located on the block between 9th and 10th Streets, on Atlanta Avenue (approximately where the Threadgill School now stands).
