By co"rte,y of Edgar deN, Mayhew, Fort Trumbull, named after the governor of the state in 1776! was completed by 1778 when Major William Ledyard was appointed to command the forts at New London, Groton, and Stonington. When Benedict Arnold led the British in an attack on New London September 6, 1781, the fort was abandoned after one shot. The defenders retreated to Groton in order to reinforce Fort Gfiswold. Hopelessly outnumbered, the New Londoners, led by Ledyard, surrendered a bitter fight only to be butchered by the British. While the milititl fought to defend FMt Griswold, British troops in New London destroyed shipping, warehouses, shops, a-nd military stores. Explosions from the powder magazine spread flames through the heart of the town. By the time the fife subsided New London had lost 140 b"ildings. Fort Trumbull was rebuilt in 1812 and in 1839 the old fort was destroyed and the present fort was huilt. This served as the Coast Guard Academy from 1910 to 1932 when the new Academy was opened. Today it is used by the Navy for the Underwater Sound Laboratory. Top: N. view of Fort Trumbull from New London (1830), by Barber. Connecticut Historical Collection, 1836. 2~ by 4~ inches.

The butchery of the militia after Colonel Ledyard surrendered (and was promptly killed with his own sword) was long remembered by New Londoners.

New London was not involved in the tVa1' of 1812 until the end of that year when Commodore Decatur brought the prize ship Macedonian into the harbor. The British fleet appeared in the Sound in April 1813 and began a twenty-one-month blockade which effectively bottled up the American ships in the river. Decatur attempted to escape late in 1813 but was unsuccessful end. the American squadron remained in the Tbames until peace was declared in February 1815. This view has been attributed to William Satchwell Leney (1769-1831) an English engraver who came to New York in 1805. It was done between 1813-1815 and shows the British squadron in the harbor. The large building with the cupola is the county court house where the Peace Ball for British and American officers was held in 1815.

Unfortunately, concern jar the preservation of the early buildings developed only fairly recently. Many of these buildings disappeared late in the last century as the city expanded. One of these-an important t011 to New London's landscape-was the Winthrop House which was demolished by the city in 1892 to provide the site for a school (said school is now to be demolished!)

Two views shown here suggest the size and elegance of the house and the magnificent view that it commanded. Joshua Hempstead's Diary notes that on April]?, 1752 he "Went to assist in ye measuring the Neck that was Mr. Winthrops. Capt. Harrison from Newpo1't is making a plann, etc," The Captain Harrison he mentions was Peter Harrison, architect of the Redwood Library in Newport. This house may well have been his first attempt at domestic architecture.

The house was not harmed at the time of Arnold's burning of New London and in 1810 became the property of James Stewart, the last British consul in New London. It is the view of the town and cove from Mr. Stewart's porch that we see in the charming water color of 1815.

Jedidiah Huntington was the first collector of the port of New London under the federal government and he served until 1815. He had been an aide to George Washington and a close family friend. In 1796 he butlt a house which was fashioned and named after Washington's Mount Vernon. The bouse stood on Huntington Street and was much admired. It was acquired by the Palmer family in the 1870's and was demolished in May, 1949 after unsuccessful attempts to have it preserved. Today we can appreciate its handsome fa~ade through Stich views ttl the two shown here, The daguerfeotype is one of nine views recorded by the Lyman Allyn Museum in the 1930's; it was probably ta./,en in the 1860's. The water color was painted some thirty years later by George S. Chappell. Happily some of the early buildings on Huntington Street are still to be seen. The County Court House at the corner of State and Huntington Streets was built in 1784 and restored in the 1940's. It is believed to be the work of Isaac Fitch of the firm of Trumbull, Fitch, and Trumbull. The frame was probably shipped from East Haddam where TrumhulPs counting house still stands. In 1830 Ezra Chappell built a row of Greek Revival houses which were sold to prominent merchants active in the Whaling business. The four houses, known as Whale Oil Row, were saved from demolition by dedicated local preservationists in the 1950's and remain the only such row of houses of this period in the country.

Among myths which he con-

They have managed to fulfill their teaching and research functions and to under- take a variety of new pnblic-service programs-despite tbe ominous predictions of faculty shortages heard ten or fifteen years ago. Says one foundation official: "The system is bigger, stronger, and more productive than it has ever been, than any system of higher education in the world." Why, then, the growing concern? Re-examine the progress of the past ten years, and this fact becomes apparent: The progress was great- but it did not deal" with the basic flaws in higher education's financial situation. Rather, it made the whole enterprise bigger, more sophisticated, and more expensive. Voluntary contributions grew-but the complexity and costliness of the nation's colleges and universities grew "faster. Endowment funds grew-but the need for the income from them grew faster. State appropriations grew-but the need grew faster. Faculty salaries were rising. New courses were needed, due to the unprecedented "knowledge explosion." More costly apparatus was required, as scientific progress grew more complex. Enrollments burgeoned-and students stayed on for more advanced (and more expensive) training at higher levels. - And, for most of the nation's 2,300 colleges and universities, an old problem remained-and was intensified, as the costs of education rose: gifts, endowment, and government funds continued to go, disproportionately, to a relative handful of institutions. Some 36 per cent of all voluntary contributions, for example, went to just 55 major univer-sities. Some 90 per cent of all endowment funds were owned by fewer than ~ per cent of the institutions. In 1966, the most recent year reported, some 70 per cent of the federal government's funds for higher education went to 100 institutions. McGeorge Bundy, the president of the Ford Founda- tion, puts it this way: '- _ "Great gains have been made; the academic profession has reached a wholly new level of economic strength, and the instruments of excellence-the libraries and

laboratories-are stronger than ever.' But the university that pauses to look back will quickly fall behind in the endless race to the future." Mr. Bundy says further: "The greatest general problem of higher education is money .... The multiplying needs of the nation's colleges and universities force a recognition that each new attempt at a massive solution has left the trustees and presidents just where they started: in very great need."

HE FINANCIAL PROBLEMS of higher education are unlike those, say, of industry. Colleges and universities do not operate like General Mo- tors. On the contrary, they sell their two pri- Tmary services-teaching and research-at a loss. I! is safe to say (although details may differ from institution to institution) that the American college or university student pays only a fraction of the cost of his education. This cost varies with the level of education and with the educational practices of the institution he attends. Undergraduate education, for instance, costs less than graduate education-which in turn may cost less than medical education. And the cost of educating a student in the sciences is greater than in the humanities. What- ever the variations, however, the student's tuition and fees pay only a portion of the bill. «As private enterprises," says one president, "we don't seem to be doing so well. We lose money every time we take in another student." Of course, neither he nor his colleagues on other campuses would have it otherwise. Nor, it seems clear, would most of the American people. But just as student instruction is provided at a substantial reduction from the actual cost, so is the research that the nation's universities perform on a vast scale for the federal government. On this particular below-cost service, as contrasted with that involving the provision of education to their students, many colleges and universities are considerably less than enthusiastic. In brief: The federal government rarely pays the full cost of the research it sponsors. Most of the money goes for direct costs (compensation for faculty time, equipment, computer use, etc.) Some of it goes for indirect costs (such "overhead" costs of the institution as payroll departments, Jihraries, etc.). Government policy stipu- lates that the institutions receiving federal research grants

lL~'~t\ , -

.nust shar.e in the cost of the research by contributing, in some fashion, a percentage of the total amount of the

grant. J University presidents have insisted for many years that the government should pay the full cost of the research it sponsors. Under the present system o( cost- sharing, they point out, it actually costs their institutions money to conduct federally sponsored research. This has been one of the most controversial issues in the partner- ship between, higher education and the federal govern- . ment, and it continues to be so. In commercial terms, then.jcolleges and universities sell their products at a loss. If they are to avoid going bankrupt, they must make up-from other sources-the difference between the income they receive for their ser- . vices and the money tbey spend to provide them.. With costs spiraling upward, that task becomes ever more formidable.

Consider what this might mean for a typical private In publicly supported colleges and universities, the outlook IS no brighter, although the gloom is of a different variety. Says the report of a study by two professors at the University of Wisconsin: "Public institutions of higher education in the United Sta~e~are now operating at a quality deficit of more than a billion dollars a year. In addition, despite heavy construction schedules, they have accumulated a major capital lag." The deficit cited by the Wisconsin professors is ~ com- putation of the cost ofbringingthe public institutions' expenditures per student to a level comparable with that at the private institutions. With the enrollment growth expected by 1975, the professors calculate, the "quality deficit" in public higher education will reach $2.5 billion. The.problem is caused, in large part, by the tremendous enrollment increases in public colleges and universities. The institutions' resources, says the Wisconsin study "may not prove equal to-the task." , Moreover, there are indications that public institutions may be nearing the limit of expansion, unless they receive a massive infusion of new funds. One of every seven public universities rejected qualified applicants from their oWI'..tates last fall; two of every seven rejected qualified applicants from other states. One of every ten raised admissions standards for in-state students; one in six raised standards for out-of-state students.

Certainly there is room for expansion. (Colleges and universities are working overtime to tap this reservoir. Mr. Schwartz's association alone lists 117 colleges -and universities that are now campaigning to raise a combined total of $4 billion.) But others are not so certain that expansion in private giving will indeed take place. "The 46th annual survey by the John Price Jones Company, a firm of fund-raising counselors, sampled 50 colleges and universities and found a decline in voluntary giving of 8.7 per cent io 12 months. The Council for Financial Aid to Education and the American Alumni Council calculate that voluntary support for higher education in 1965-66 declined by some 1.2 per cent in the same period. Refining these figures gives them more meaning. The major private universities, for example, received about 36 per cent of the $1.2 billion given to higher education .....-a decrease from the previous year. Private liberaL arts colleges also fell behind: coeducational colleges dropped 10 per cent, men's colleges dropped 16.2 per cent, and women's colleges dropped 12.6 per cent. State institutions, on the other- hand, increased their private support by 23.8 per cent. The record of some cohesive groups of colleges and universities is also revealing. Voluntary support of eight Ivy League institutions declined 27.8 per cent, for a total loss of $61 million. The Seven College Conference, a group of women's colleges, reported a drop of 41 per cent.

Sibyl A. Hausman

OSEMARY PARK ONCE COMMENTED that in all her Rtravels to alumnae groups throughout the country. former students never failed to inquire for Sibyl Hausman. "1 am asked about her more often than any other member of the faculty," Miss Park remarked. Both students and colleagues who have worked with her in the Zoology Department understand why this is so. A superb sense of organization, high academic standards, long hours devoted to her work, and an unusual ability to give of herself in a genuinely warm and friendly way have all contributed to making Miss Hausman the favorite she is. Along with each new dogfish, or cat, or parasite life cycle, or drop of pond water examined for her favorite microscopic forms, she has shared with students a never- diminishing enthusiasm for her work year after year. Her desk at Christmas, with its cards and notes and especially pictures of the next college generation, has resembled an annex to the files of the Alumnae Office. Her unusual talent for scientific drawing will be remembered by all students ever associated with the Zoology Department and it will please them to know that, despite her modesty on the subject, Miss Hausman was recently encouraged to make the majority of the illustrations for a monograph Miss Sibyl A.

46 CONNECTICUT COLLEGE ALUMNAE NEWS Dorothy Richardson

TSEEMS HARD TO BELIEVE that Dorothy Richardson Iis due to retire. From the eyes of a student, she seems an indestructible part of Connecticut College, an opinion not in the least changed when the eyes become those of a colleague. As students, we found her to be an experi- mentalist rather than just a descriptive embryologist, and we knew her to be a "friend of the young." Unlike most, her encouragement did not stop with graduation, for Dorothy Richardson is a correspondent of great loyalty; her letters provided long-distance reinforcement and in- rerest (and sometimes a goad) to a wide circle of friends. Furthermore, having touched down on so many places in her own professional career, and having kept those contacts alive, she effectively catalyzed summer jobs and post-graduate positions for many of us. As colleagues in her department, we respected not only her research on the placenta, but we marveled at the breadth of her reading and the extraordinary range of her non-science ipterests-music, dance, anthropology. politics. Under her leadership the Zoology Department flourished, its majors increased, and New London Hall underwent successive metamorphoses. Such is her legacy of affection and success. Dorothy Richardson will undoubtedly continue h~r reo Min Dorothy Richardson, Professor of Zoology and search when she retires to Gloucester, but she Will be Chairman of that department, has worked and puhlished missed at Connecticut.
