Alumni Notes by the Class Secretaries Best Sports Story of 1951 Hell Week Out Profiles of Professors Costello, Harrington Goralski Improves A T rinity student as caricatured by the Chapel architect on a misericord arm in the chancel. George Capen Says.· During the past few days, I have analyzed this year's Alumni Fund, now at 33,500. Frankly, while I am not disheartened, the results so far are not encouraging. When the National Alumni Association accepted on behal f of all the alumni a goal of $50,000, it was done because we knew that all alumni realize the importance to Trinity of an outstanding faculty. We knew, too, that a successful campaign would depend on these two factors: ( 1) Increased contributions from those alumni who have given in the past, and ( 2) contributions from the large number of alumni who had not contributed previously. The increases are just not coming through, and the rate of new contributors is very disappointing. However, a cheering trend is the fine showing of our younger alumni, those of the Classes of '49, '50, and '51. I know that Trinity alumni are interested in the faculty both because of the importance of good teaching at the college and also in recognition of their own personal appreciation of the men still at Trinity who taught them. But we are going to have to do a lot better in this Alumni Fund if the increases in faculty salaries given last Sep­ tember are to be covered.

  • Dinosaur Wars Program Transcript
    Page 1 Dinosaur Wars Program Transcript Narrator: For more than a century, Americans have had a love affair with dinosaurs. Extinct for millions of years, they were barely known until giant, fossil bones were discovered in the mid-nineteenth century. Two American scientists, Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh, led the way to many of these discoveries, at the forefront of the young field of paleontology. Jacques Gauthier, Paleontologist: Every iconic dinosaur every kid grows up with, apatosaurus, triceratops, stegosaurus, allosaurus, these guys went out into the American West and they found that stuff. Narrator: Cope and Marsh shed light on the deep past in a way no one had ever been able to do before. They unearthed more than 130 dinosaur species and some of the first fossil evidence supporting Darwin’s new theory of evolution. Mark Jaffe, Writer: Unfortunately there was a more sordid element, too, which was their insatiable hatred for each other, which often just baffled and exasperated everyone around them. Peter Dodson, Paleontologist: They began life as friends. Then things unraveled… and unraveled in quite a spectacular way. Narrator: Cope and Marsh locked horns for decades, in one of the most bitter scientific rivalries in American history. Constantly vying for leadership in their young field, they competed ruthlessly to secure gigantic bones in the American West. They put American science on the world stage and nearly destroyed one another in the process. Page 2 In the summer of 1868, a small group of scientists boarded a Union Pacific train for a sightseeing excursion through the heart of the newly-opened American West.

[Mrs. Justus Street Hotchkiss, the compiler of this book, died after a short illness on January 24, 1912. While most of the book was in type when she was taken ill, she was unable to give much attention to the proofs or to make final revision.

  • Defining the Mesozoic
    DEBRA LINDSAY THE MESOZOIC/DEFINING DISCIPLINES: LATE NINETEENTH- CENTURY DEBATES OVER THE JURASSIC–CRETACEOUS BOUNDARY DEBRA LINDSAY Department of History and Politics University of New Brunswick, Saint John, NB, Canada E2L 4L5 [email protected] ABSTRACT The last two decades of the nineteenth century were exciting times in American paleontology, with disputes over Jurassic dinosaurs between Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh appearing in the press. Less well known is the dispute over defining the Mesozoic that began in 1888 when Marsh invited Lester Frank Ward, a colleague with whom he had been working on the Potomac Formation for the United States Geological Survey, to speak on the plant fossils found there. Initially agreeing with Marsh that the Potomac was a Jurassic formation, work on fossil cycads led Ward to conclude that the Potomac was Lower Cretaceous. As Ward and Marsh grappled with the question of how to determine the age and identity of Mesozoic systems, they joined other paleontologists and Earth Sciences History geologists such as William J. McGee, Albert Charles Seward, and Samuel W. Williston in 2011, Vol. 30, No. 2 a debate that often reflected scientific training and sub-specializations as much as pp. 216–239 stratigraphic principles, becoming caught up in a trans-Atlantic dispute in which their reputations were on the line as they claimed that ‘their’ fossils were key determinants of Mesozoic systems. In the end, Marsh’s reputation as a paleontologist was far better established than that of Ward, who moved on to another career as a sociologist at Brown University, but cycad discoveries from Maryland, Colorado and Wyoming, and fieldwork, trumped laboratory studies—even when performed by a master systematist—as the Potomac Formation proved to be Lower Cretaceous.

    Simsbury Free Library Quarterly Volume 21 Issue 4 Spring-Summer 2015 The Neighborhood House in Weatogue Part 2: Antecedents in the Work of Weatogue’s Three Ministers The preceding part of this article dealt with the founding of Weatogue’s Neighborhood House in 1905, the moving and refurbishing of the donated building and a sampling of the dinners and cultural programs given in the house. This second part will explore some of the events that preceded the founding of this institution, which was dedicated to the wellbeing of all residents of the community and town. In the early twentieth century, the Weatogue section of the town of Simsbury was fertile ground for the planting of an institution that had for its mission the assimilation of recent immigrants and the betterment of society's less fortunate peoples. Rev. Charles Pitman Croft and his wife Julia Mather Croft were the prime movers behind this effort, but they were substantially aided by many in Simsbury who had generous natures and either time or money to be of help. It was particularly fortunate that there were two other Protestant ministers living in close proximity, who, like Rev. Croft, were not pastors of any church, and who helped each other in their chosen civic projects. These were the Reverends Horace Winslow and D. Stuart Dodge and they arrived in Weatogue and Bushy Hill, respectively, in the early 1880s. Rev. Horace Winslow (1814-1905) was the eldest. Born in Massachusetts, he earned his Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, and attended the Theological Seminary at Auburn and the Union Theological Seminary in New York City.

    NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARKS Dr. Harry A. Butowsky GEOLOGY THEME STUDY Page 1 Geology National Historic Landmark Theme Study (Draft 1990) Introduction by Dr. Harry A. Butowsky Historian, History Division National Park Service, Washington, DC The Geology National Historic Landmark Theme Study represents the second phase of the National Park Service's thematic study of the history of American science. Phase one of this study, Astronomy and Astrophysics: A National Historic Landmark Theme Study was completed in l989. Subsequent phases of the science theme study will include the disciplines of biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and other related sciences. The Science Theme Study is being completed by the National Historic Landmarks Survey of the National Park Service in compliance with the requirements of the Historic Sites Act of l935. The Historic Sites Act established "a national policy to preserve for public use historic sites, buildings and objects of national significance for the inspiration and benefit of the American people." Under the terms of the Act, the service is required to survey, study, protect, preserve, maintain, or operate nationally significant historic buildings, sites & objects. The National Historic Landmarks Survey of the National Park Service is charged with the responsibility of identifying America's nationally significant historic property. The survey meets this obligation through a comprehensive process involving thematic study of the facets of American History. In recent years, the survey has completed National Historic Landmark theme studies on topics as diverse as the American space program, World War II in the Pacific, the US Constitution, recreation in the United States and architecture in the National Parks.
