APO  154,  c/o  Postmaster,  N.  Y. 

As  the  twins  recently  celebrated  their  second  birthday,  it  occurs  to 
me  that  I  haven't  let  you  know  our  whereabouts  since  we  were  preparing 
to  cart  them  off  to  France  three  months  after  they  joined  the  family. 
All  has  gone  well  with  us  since,  briefly  in  the  following  manner: 

We  were  in  Paris  for  over  a  year,  while  Bob  worked  on  his  doctorate 
thesis  for  the  Sorbonne.  I  had  an  interesting  job  with  the  Embassy 
there,  and  we  were  fortunate  in  having  a  nice  apartment — a  rare  thing 
indeed  in  that  town  where  there  are,  I  swear,  more  Americans  than 
French.  We  were  continually  running  into  old  friends,  but  strangely 
enough,  none  from  Duke.  I  guess  I  should  have  started  an  alumni  chap- 
ter; actually,  I  suppose  we  were  considered  rather  snobbish,  working  for 
the  Embassy  instead  of  EC  A,  living  on  the  Right  Bank  instead  of  the 
Left,  and  having  occasional  moments  of  central  heating  and  almost 
enough  hot  water  for  daily  baths.  It  was  a  fine  year,  and  the  children 
thrived. 

After  finishing  his  thesis,  Bob  got  a  job  as  head  of  the  Information 
Center  here,  a  Cultural  Affairs  position  with  broader  scope  because  of 
the  tremendous  job  to  be  done  on  the  Germans.  Library,  concerts,  lec- 
tures, plays,  children's  affairs — anything  you  might  imagine  that  could 
give  information  of  the  outside  world,  something  the  people  haven't  had 
since  1934.  This  work  fascinates  both  of  us.******  Of  course,  to  my 
mind,  it  is  probably  the  most  interesting  spot  in  the  world  today,  though 
some  of  the  Americans  who  have  been  here  several  years  don't  agree. 

I  suppose  by  now  the  music  department,  or  somebody,  has  received 
a  set  of  Dad's*  records  which  I  had  sent  from  Washington.  I  hope  they 
will  be  Hseful  to  you,  and  that  you  will  enjoy  them.  My  idea  was  to  have 
someone  carry  them  after  I  had  warned  you  that  they  were  coming,  so 
I  hope  none  were  broken,  and  that  they  got  into  the  right  hands. 

I  think  often  of  Alpha  Chi,  the  Chronicle,  and  the  Duke  Players, 
and  of  all  of  you  in  Durham.  Which  reunion  I'll  be  able  to  attend,  I 
can't  say,  but  I'm  looking  forward  to  it.  I  wouldn't  be  at  all  surprised 
if  the  Alumni  Fund  is  still  going  strong,  so  enclose  a  check.

The  Old  Year 


At  this  time  of  the  37ear  it  seems  appropriate  to  stop  for 
a  few  minutes  and  see  what  the  old  year  has  put  on  the 
credit  side  of  the  ledger.  The  staff  of  the  Alumni  Office 
remembers  pleasantly  the  many  ways  in  which  the  alumni 
family  has  cooperated  to  make  the  past  twelve  months 
noteworthy  in  the  history  of  the  institution. 


Enthusiastic  interest  and  support  by  the  alumni  assure 
the  University  that  it  will  be  able  to  intensify  its  program 
and  increase  its  services  to  mankind. 


We  Like  to  Think  About: 

— The  many  hours  spent  in  preparation  for  special  oc- 
casions, such  as  Homecoming,  Pounders'  Day,  Commence- 
ment, class  reunions — of  how  the  alumni  responded  and 
returned  enthusiastically  to  share  these  pleasant  occasions ; 

— The  alumni  who  have  taken  to  their  hearts  the  com- 
bining of  the  Loyalty  Fund  and  Development  Program 
into  the  Development  Campaign  and  the  several  thousand 
who  have  volunteered  their  services  to  President  Edens  to 
help  in  this  program ; 

— The  alumni  in  three  areas  who  have  organized  new 
alumni  associations; 

— The  local  alumni  officers  of  such  associations  as  New 
York  City  and  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  who  are  mailing  newsletters 
periodically  to  their  members; 

— Those  alumni  who  have  called  to  the  attention  of  the 
Admissions  Office  outstanding  students  in  their  commu- 
nity ; 

— Alumni  who  have  served  on  scholarship  committees, 
such  as  the  Angier  B.  Duke  Prize  Committee ; 

— The  more  than  10,000  alumni  who  have  been  prompt 
in  sending  their  changes  of  address; 

— The  alumni  who  have  given  new  scholarships  or  have 
contributed  to  old  ones ; 

— The  Class  of  1925  which  had  the  largest  percentage 
of  participation  of  any  class  in  its  activities  and  gift  to 
the  University  on  the  occasion  of  its  25th  reunion ; 

— The  officers  of  the  General  Alumni  Association,  the 
class  officers,  local  association  officers,  and  the  thousands 
of  other  alumni  who  have  served  Duke  in  the  past  twelve 
months. 


The  New  Year 

As  we  look  to  the  New  Year  we  see  the  days,  weeks,  and 
months  ahead  clouded  by  unsettled  conditions  and  by  a 
feeling  of  unrest  such  as  this  country  has  never  known. 
However,  in  spite  of  these,  we  are  counting  on  our  alumni 
to  have  a  place  in  their  thinking,  in  their  hearts,  and  in 
their  everyday  life  for  Duke  University. 


We  Hope: 

— That  you  will  visit  the  campus  as  often  as  possible ; 

— That  you  will  drop  us  a  line  when  you  change  ad- 
dress, for  this  is  particularly  important  now ; 

— That  you  will  call  on  the  Alumni  Office  for  any  serv- 
ice it  can  render  you  or  for  any  information  it  can  furnish 
you  about  Duke  or  its  alumni ; 

— That  you  will  cooperate  with  the  officers  of  your  re- 
spective association  and  class. 

We  hope  that  you  will  do  the  above  things,  for  construc- 
tive and  enthusiastic  interest  on  the  part  of  the  alumni 
means  much  to  Duke  University. 

We  wish  for  each  of  you  a  Happj-  New  Year. 


Development  Campaign 

Some  time  in  the  next  few  months  a  fellow  alumnus  will 
get  up  from  his  desk  or  stop  her  household  duties  to  call 
on  you  and  remind  you  that  Duke  is  counting  on  you  to 
have  a  part  in  the  Development  Campaign. 

When  this  call  comes,  please  give  thoughtful  attention 
to  the  request  and  give  according  to  your  ability.  Alumni 
are  being  asked  to  invest  in  Duke's  future  by  subscribing 
in  minimum  shares  of  $25.00  per  year.  Surely  each  of 
you  will  find  it  possible  to  grant  such  a  reasonable  request.

Duke  Moves  to  Meet  Emergency 

Speed-up  Program  Starts  in  June.  Committee  Will  Advise  Students  on  Draft. 


Moving  to  meet  serious  educational 
problems  created  by  a  growing  national 
emergency,  President  Edens  has  an- 
nounced that  a  "speed-up"  program  to 
enable  students  to  graduate  in  three  years 
will  be  instituted  at  Duke  in  June. 

Similar  to  the  program  adopted  by  the 
University  during  World  War  II,  the 
new  curriculum  will  make  it  possible  for 
students  to  by-pass  traditional  summer 
vacations  and  complete  in  six  Summer 
Session  terms  of  six  weeks  each  work 
normally  accomplished  in  two  semesters 
of  the  regular  academic  year. 

"The  University  deems  it  essential  to 
provide  opportunity  for  high  school  grad- 
uates to  begin  their  college  training  at 
the  earliest  possible  date,"  President 
Edens  stated.  He  added  that:  "High 
school  seniors  are  urged  to  apply  at  once 
for  enrollment  in  the  Summer  term  of 
1951  beginning  in  early  June.  This 
would  enable  them  to  comj>lete  the  major 
part  of  a  half  year's  work  before  the 
usual  opening  in  September." 

With  the  drafting  of  18-year-olds  an 
imminent  possibility,  and  with  a  tighten- 
ing up  of  deferment  regulations  that  con- 
cern college  students,  it  is  evident  that 
colleges  and  universities  face  difficult 
responsibilities.  Duke  has  thus  taken  the 
lead  in  formulating  a  well-defined  policy 
for  safeguarding  opportunities  for  higher 
education  by  qualified  students. 

The  implied  purpose  of  the  program  is 
to  encourage  students  to  begin  or  con- 
tinue college  work  until  it  is  mandatory 
that  they  must  withdraw  from  the  Uni- 
versity to  enter  armed  service.  The  speed- 
up program,  it  is  felt,  will  allow  larger 
numbers  to  graduate  before  being  called 
through  the  draft. 

"This  program,"  the  President  com- 
mented, "is  in  line  with  the  advice  of 
national  leaders  and  high  school  counsel- 
ors who  are  urging  young  people  to  begin 
their  college  work  as  soon  as  possible,  be- 
cause of  the  imminence  of  military  serv- 
ice." 

Under  the  announced  acceleration,  a 
student  enrolling  as  a  freshman  in  June, 
1951,  will  graduate  in  June,  1954.  If 
drafted  before  graduation,  he  will  at  least 
have  completed  a  greater  part  of  his  work 


than  would  be  the  case  under  normal 
conditions. 

Freshman  registration  for  the  Summer 
Session  will  be  on  June  12.  The  cus- 
tomary series  of  placement  tests  and  the 
program  of  orientation  will  begin  a  few 
days  earlier. 

In  spite  of  the  speed-up,  every  effort 
will  be  made  to  protect  the  quality  of 
education  at  Duke  and  to  permit  the 
student  to  derive  maximum  benefit  from 
his  work.  High  standards  are  not  to  be 
sacrificed. 

An  Advisory  Committee 

Another  recent  step  taken  to  help  the 
University  and  its  students  face  prob- 
lems spawned  by  the  national  emergency 
is  the  formation  of  a  special  faculty-staff 
advisory  committee,  which  will  offer  coun- 


sel to  students  on  questions  related  to 
military  service. 

In  recent  weeks  a  growing  student 
anxiety  has  been  reflected  in  the  numbers 
of  men  approaching  deans  for  informa- 
tion and  advice.  The  advisory  committee 
is  established  to  channel  such  requests  to 
faculty  and  staff  members  who  are  ac- 
cumulating all  available  information  on 
the  subject  of  the  draft  and  its  effect 
upon  University  students. 

Members  of  the  committee  will  assist 
individual  students  confronted  with  a  de- 
cision to  continue  or  discontinue  their 
education.  The  committee  will  be  large 
enough  to  make  possible  personal  inter- 
views and  to  answer  requests  for  infor- 
mation without  delay.

Snow  is  a  member  of  a  new  faculty  advisory  committee  formed  to  aid  Duke 
students  select  the  best  method  of  furthering  national  defense  efforts  on  the 
campus  and  in  uniform.  Students  are  William  Stone,  center,  Raleigh,  N.  C,

Second  Gift  of  $1,500,000  Offered 

Contingent  Upon  Raising  of  Matching  Sum 


A  second  gift  of  $1,500,000  to  the  Duke 
University  Development  Campaign  was 
announced  earlier  this  month  by  Presi- 
dent Edens. 

Like  the  General  Education  Board's 
gift  in  December,  this  latest  proffered 
donation  is  contingent  upon  the  raising  of 
a  matching  sum  by  alumni  and  friends. 

The  donor  has  asked  to  remain  anony- 
mous. President  Edens  termed  the  do- 
nor's generosity  to  Duke  "an  act  of  faith 
in  higher  education  and  an  act  of  confi- 
dence in  Duke  University." 

This  brings  to  a  total'of  $3,000,000  the 
amount  that  has  been  offered  to  the  Uni- 
versity providing  other  contributors  give 
an  amount  that  matches  it  dollar  for  dol- 
lar. 

Every  dollar  that  an  alumnus  or  friend 
now  gives  during  the  Development  Cam- 
paign will  bring  another  into  the  Univer- 
sity. Two  great  acts  of  generosity,  which 
were  also  expressions  of  confidence  in 
Duke's  ability  to  give  increased  service  to 
mankind  through  intensified  programs  of 
education  and  research,  have  brought  be- 
fore alumni  and  friends  an  exceptional 
opportunity  to  help  Duke  build  for  the 
future. 

National  Campaign  Is  Opening 

Opening  of  the  general  campaign 
throughout  the  nation  will  be  signalled 
by  a  meeting  on  Feb.  6  in  Charlotte, 
N.  C,  to  begin  the  general  canvass  in 
Mecklenburg  County. 

Shortly  thereafter  campaigns  in  other 
areas  will  start  just  as  soon  as  soliciting 
organizations  have  completed  preliminary 
work  and  are  ready  to  go. 

Three  million  dollars  must  be  raised 
between  now  and  June  30  in  order  to 
reach  the  1950-51  goal  of  $8,650,000  and 
provide  the  matching  funds  needed  to 
assure  the  two  contingent  gifts  of 
$3,000,000. 

"Within  the  next  few  weeks  it  is  antici- 
pated that  alumni  in  almost  every  part  of 
the  country  will  be  contacted  by  fellow- 
alumni  who  are  serving  as  campaign 
workers  in  their  home  areas.  These  cam- 
paign workers  will  be  well  informed  as  to 
the  purposes  and  procedure  of  the  De- 
velopment Campaign  and  will  be  able  to 
give  prospective  contributors  information 
that  should  encourage  generous  giving. 

It  is  not  planned  that  campaigns  in 
every  locality  be  opened  simultaneously. 
The  pattern  will  be  similar  to  the  highly 
successful    one   followed   by   the   Loyalty 


Fund  solicitations  during  the  past  three 
years.  Campaigns  will  begin  one  at  a 
time  during  February  and  the  three 
months  of  spring,  timed  so  that  the  1950- 
51  drive  for  gifts  for  major  projects  will 
end  at  Commencement  in  June.  This  will 
leave  the  month  of  June  for  a  clean-up 
campaign,  if  it  is  necessary  to  reach  the 
goal. 

New  Chairmen 

Meanwhile  the  appointment  of  cam- 
paign chairmen  and  the  organization  of 
local  committees  is  being-  pushed  rapidly 
ahead. 

Most  recently  enlisted  chairmen  are 
John  B.  Harris,  '24,  in  District  4  of 
North  Carolina;  W.  Herbert  Smith,  '23, 
in  northwest  South  Carolina ;  and  Wil- 
liam M.  Courtney,  '38,  in  northeast  Flor- 
ida. These  three  alumni  leaders,  who  in 
the  past  have  served  Duke  in  various 
ways,  received  an  expression  of  apprecia- 
tion from  President  Edens  for  their  ac- 
ceptance of  important  campaign  posts. 

Support  at  Home 

While  preparations  are  being  made  to 
open  campaigns  in  numerous  cities  and 
counties  both  inside  and  outside  North 
Carolina,  two  groups  close  to  home  have 
just  about  completed  their  Development 
Program  drives  and  are  showing  excep- 
tional results. 

The  City  of  Durham  campaign,  in 
which  business  Amis  and  non-alumni  in- 
dividuals participated,  currently  stands  at 
more  than  $220,000  from  approximately 
175  contributors.  Final  report  of  the 
Durham  campaign  was  due  at  a  meeting 
scheduled  for  Friday,  Jan.  30.  Thus 
funds  for  remodeling  West  Campus 
Union,  the  Administration  Building  and 
parts  of  Page  into  a  Student  Activities 
Center  are  virtually  assuz-ed. 

The  Faculty-Staff  campaign.,  begun 
early  this  month  by  a  committee  headed 
by  Dr.  Frank  T.  DeVyver,  has  at  this 
writing  raised  approximately  $60,000. 
Actively  engaged  in  the  campaign  as 
workers  are  50  faculty  members,  includ- 
ing at  least  one  for  each  major  instruc- 
tional department  in  the  University,  and 
a  four-man  staff  committee  headed  by 
Walter  G.  Cooper,  personnel  director. 

The  success  of  these  two  campaigns  is 
particularly  significant  and  is  especially 
encouraging  as  the  national  campaign 
gets  underway.  The  people  closest  to  the 
University,   in  the   city  that   is  its  home 


Large  Gifts  Announced 

Two  large  gifts,  one  by  a  firm  and 
one  by  a  friend  of  the  University's 
were  recentlv  announced. 

The  first  was  a  gift  of  $105,000  by 
Liggett  and  Myers  Tobacco  Company 
to  be  used  for  research  projects  related 
to  the  tobacco  industry  as  a  whole. 

The  second,  announced  on  Jan.  25, 
is  a  gift  of  $100,000  to  the  Develop- 
ment Campaign  by  Mr.  David  Ovens 
of  Charlote,  N.  O,  vice-president  of 
Ivey's  Department  Store  and  a  close 
friend  to  the  University.  Mr.  Ovens 
generous  gift  was  the  first  of  the 
Mecklenburg  County  Campaign  which 
is  just  getting  underway. 


and  upon  its  own  instructional  and  ad- 
ministrative staffs,  are  the  most  capable 
of  making  a  critical  appraisal  of  Duke's 
needs  and  its  opportunities  for  future 
service.  Their  very  tangible  expressions 
of  loyalty  and  confidence  should  do  much 
to  warm  the  hearts  of  far-flung  alumni 
to  the  causes  which  the  University  serves 
and  encourage  their  active  support. 


Duke  to  Meet  Emergency 

(Continued  from  page  5) 

are  Dr.  Paul  M.  Gross  and  Dr.  Herbert  J. 
Herring,  both  University  vice-presidents 
closely  associated  with  students  on  the 
campus.  Chairmen  of  committees  to  co- 
ordinate advisory  functions  of  appointed 
faculty  members  are  Dr.  Alan  K.  Man- 
chester, dean  of  undergraduate  instruc- 
tion, and  Dr.  William  Archie,  assistant 
dean  in  charge  of  freshmen. 

The  anxiety  of  the  student  body  is  in- 
creased by  uncertainty  as  to  present  and 
contemplated  draft  policies.  While  cur- 
rent regulations  have  been  set  forth  in 
directives  from  Washington,  students  feel 
that  there  is  some  doubt  as  to  how  local 
draft  boards  will  interpret  them.  Most 
perplexing,  however,  are  repeated  an- 
nouncements that  changes  in  regulations 
are  forthcoming,  but  no  one  seems  to 
know  just  when  or  to  what  extent.  As 
might  be  supposed,  this  gives  rise  to  ru- 
mors of  all  sorts  of  pending  action  that 
will  affect  students.  Fortunately,  under- 
graduates at  Duke  are  evincing  a  cautious 
attitude  toward  such  rumors,  and  the  Uni- 
versity to  date  has  not  lost,  through  vol- 
untary withdrawal,  as  many  students  as 
some  other  institutions.  But  it  is  ex- 
pected that  the  end  of  the  fall  semester 
this  month  will  see  quite  a  few  dropping 
out  to  enlist,  rather  than  risk  being 
drafted  in  the  middle  of  the  spring  term.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  January,  1951 


Campus  Busy  with  Activity 


Top  Students 

Honorary  class  scholarships  valued  at 
$350.00  each  have  been  awarded  to  17 
students  in  recognition  of  outstanding 
grades. 

The  scholarships,  given  annually  to  the 
five  top  ranking  students  in  the  sopho- 
more, junior,  and  senior  classes,  are 
awarded  on  the  basis  of  the  previous 
year's  work  and  are  applied  toward  tui- 
tion. 

Sophomore  winners  are :  George  R. 
Abbott,  Lewisburg,  W.  Va.;  Dante  Ger- 
mino,  Durham;  Frederick  P.  Brooks, 
Greenville;  Mary  H.  Dawson,  Sanford; 
and  Eleanor  B.  Lake,  Charlotte.  Miss 
Dawson  and  Miss  Lake  tied  for  fourth 
place  with  identical  averages. 

Winners  in  the  junior  class  are :  Wil- 
liam L.  Noel,  Birmingham,  Ala.;  Denni- 
son  I.  Eusinow,  St.  Petersburg,  Fla. ;  J. 
Woodford  Howard,  Jr.,  Prestonburg, 
Ky.;  Thomas  T.  Bannister,  Urbana,  111.; 
and  Richard  B.  Dannenburg,  Cedarhurst, 
N.  Y. 

Senior  class  winners  are :  Arnold  I. 
Roth,  Birmingham,  Ala. ;  Bowen  B.  Sim- 
mons, Opp,  Ala.;  Sanford  Radner,  Mun- 
roe,  N.  Y. ;  Thomas  E.  Morgan,  Jr.,  Jack- 
sonville, Pla. ;  William  L.  Baldwin,  Dur- 
ham; W.  Kenny  Withers,  Jacksonville, 
Fla.;  and  George  Binda,  Medford,  Mass. 

Three  students,  Baldwin,  Withers,  and 
Binda,  who  are  enrolled  under  Public  Law 
346  for  veterans,  tied  for  fifth  place  in 
the  senior  class.  They  received  cash 
awards  of  $100.00  each. 


Duke  Debate  Team 
Wins  First  Place 

Duke's  negative  debate  team,  composed 
of  Dennis  O'Donovan  of  Miami,  Fla.,  and 
Henry  Clark  of  Reidsville,  won  first  place 
in  a  debate  tournament  held  late  in  No- 
vember at  the  University  of  South  Caro- 
lina. The  affirmative  team,  made  up  of 
John  Maxwell  of  Bethesda,  Md.,  and  Tom 
Sanders  of  Asheville,  tied  for  second 
place. 

In  winning  first  place  in  the  tourna- 
ment, the  Duke  team,  coached  by  Joseph 
C.  Wetherby,  assistant  professor  of 
speech,  won  out  over  debate  teams  from 


15  Southern  colleges  and  universities. 
The  debate  question  for  the  tournament 
was :  Resolved :  the  non-communist  na- 
tions of  the  world  should  form  a  new 
international  organization. 

The  South  Carolina  tournament  was 
the  first  major  tournament  attended  by  a 
Duke  debate  team  this  year. 


wBest  Debater" 

Hunt  Ricker,  sophomore  from  Tampa, 
Fla.,  won  the  title  of  "best  debater"  in  a 
field  of  more  than  70  contestants  from 
Southeastern  colleges. 

The  event,  the  Dixie  Debate  Tourna- 
ment, was  held  at  Charlotte  early  in  De- 
cember. It  attracted  36  debate  teams 
from  12  colleges  and  universities,  and 
was  sponsored  by  Mary  Washington  Col- 
lege, Fredericksburg,  Va.,  and  Wingate 
College,  Wingate. 

Two  of  Duke's  10  teams  entered  in  the 
tourney  were  awarded  places  in  the  "Top 
Ten"  teams  selected  by  the  judges.  Mem- 
bers of  the  two  teams  were  Hunt  Ricker; 
Dan  Castor,  Tampa,  Fla.,  sophomore; 
Richard  Thigpen,  Charlotte,  senior;  and 
William  Werber,  College  Park,  Md., 
sophomore. 

Other  Duke  participants  at  the  meet 
were :  James  Best,  Dunn,  junior ;  Sam 
Brown,  Tallapoosa,  Ga.,  junior;  Pat  Car- 
ter, Gulf  port,  Miss.,  junior;  Elinor  Prae- 
ger,  Washington,  senior;  James  E.  Ritch, 
Jr.,  Charlotte,  sophomore ;  and  Fred  Stef- 
fey,  Charlotte,  sophomore. 

Joseph  C.  Wetherby,  assistant  profes- 
sor of  speech  who  accompanied  the  teams, 
stated  that  none  of  the  Duke  team  mem- 
bers had  ever  before  participated  in  an 
intercollegiate   debate. 


Sixty-nine  Candidates 

Sixty-nine  students  are  now  working 
toward  graduate  degrees  in  English  and 
American  literature,  Dr.  Paull  F.  Baurn, 
director  of  graduate  studies  in  English, 
announced. 

Eighteen  students  began  graduate  work 
in  English  this  fall,  and  46  are  now  in 
residence  at  Duke.  Some  37  students 
are  working  toward  the  Ph.D.  degree, 
with  11  studying  American  literature  and 
26  majoring  in  English  literature. 


Fraternity  Men 
Upset  Statistics 

Duke  fraternity  men  have  been  getting 
better  grades  than  non-fraternity  stu- 
dents, contrary  to  a  downward  fraternity 
scholarship  trend  reported  by  most  col- 
leges and  universities  in  the  country. 

Dean  Robert  B.  Cox,  dean  of  under- 
graduate men,  stated  that  every  one  of 
the  19  fraternities  at  Duke  topped  the 
all-men  student  scholastic  average  of  1.24 
quality  points  per  semester  hour  during 
the  academic  year  1949-50.  Fraternity 
members  earned  an  over-all  average  of 
1.38  quality  points  while  over  the  same 
period  non-fraternity  students  recorded  a 
score  of  1.15. 

"This  is  the  first  time  at  Duke  that  the 
fraternity  average  has  surpassed  the  all- 
men  scholastic  rating  in  recent  years," 
Dean  Cox  declared.  He  pointed  out  that 
in  1949-50  only  50  per  cent  of  the  fra- 
ternities made  grades  higher  than  the 
non-fraternity  average,  and  at  most  col- 
leges throughout  the  country,  the  fra- 
ternity averages  are  below  the  all-student 
average.  Much  of  the  credit  for  the 
scholastic  gain  should  go  to  the  Scholar- 
ship Committee  of  the  Duke  Inter-Fra- 
ternity Council,  which  has  staged  a  "back- 
to-the-books"  campaign.  A  trophy  and 
individual  plaques  are  awarded  to  the 
fraternity  showing  the  most  scholastic 
progress. 

Duke  fraternities  have  received  na- 
tional recognition  of  their  scholarship 
achievements  in  a  series  of  Scholarship 
Newsletters  published  by  the  National 
Inter-Fraternity  Council. 

Future  Teachers 

Fifty  future  teachers  mingled  with 
teen-agers  at  Durham  High,  Carr  Junior 
High,  and  East  Durham  Junior  High  as 
Duke  education  majors  began  their  prac- 
tice teaching  by  observing  classroom  pro- 
cedure. 

After  a  two-month  delay  caused  by  a 
change  in  contract  with  the  Durham 
School  Board,  the  students  got  their  class 
assignments  on  the  first  day  after  Christ- 
mas vacation.  Before  the  end  of  January 
they  are  expected  to  have  completed  at 
least  ten  of  the  45  required  hours  of  ob- 
servation to  meet  requirements  for  a 
North  Carolina  certificate. 

Before  the  end  of  the  year,  students  in 
practice-teaching  must  have  spent  an- 
other 45  hours  in  actual  teaching  and  18 
more  in  conferences  with  the  critic  teach- 
er, the  supervisor  and  the  director  of  the 
program.

Recent  Medical  Achievements 
Add  to  Health  and  Happiness 


Medical  science  at  Duke  is  quietly 
achieving  major  and  minor  triumphs  in 
the  never-ending  battle  against  diseases, 
ailments  and  accidents  which  shorten  and 
torment  human  lives. 

The  discovery  and  isolation  of  a  cancer- 
causing  virus,  advances  in  the  treatment 
of  gastric  ulcers,  a  new  use  of  ACTH 
in  treating  severely  burned  skin  tissue, 
and  the  effects  of  ACTH  in  relation  to 
high  blood  pressure  are  just  a  few  re- 
cently announced  accomplishments  to  be 
added  to  the  many  contributions  that 
Duke  doctors  have  made  toward  a  health- 
ier and  happier  mankind. 

Cancer  Virus  Isolated 

One  team  of  Duke  scientists  ended  a 
long  struggle  by  many  medical  researchers 
by  isolating  and  photographing  the  tiny 
virus  that  causes  fowl  leukosis,  a  type  of 
cancer  in  chickens  that  is  closely  related 
to  the  human  cancer,  leukemia. 

Announcement  of  the  discovery  was 
made  in  an  article  in  Proceedings  of  the 
Society  for  Experimental  Biology  and 
Medicine  by  a  team  composed  of:  Dr. 
Joseph  W.  Beard,  professor  of  surgery 
in  charge  of  experimental  surgery  and 
associate  professor  of  virology,  Mrs. 
Dorothy  W.  Beard,  R.N.,  research  asso- 
ciate in  surgery;  Dr.  D.  Gordon  Sharp, 
A.M.  '37,  Ph.D.  '39,  assistant  professor 
of  biophysics  in  experimental  surgery  and 
biophysicist  to  Duke  Hospital;  Edward 
A.  Eckert,  and  T.  Z.  Csaky. 

The  importance  of  the  find  is  the  ability 
to  study  directly  the  causative  agent  of 
the  disease  and  perhaps  find  a  way  to 
cure  or  prevent  it.  Implications  of  such 
a  discovery  are  great;  fowl  leukosis  costs 
the  poultry  industry  $75,000,000  every 
year.  The  scientists  emphasized,  however, 
that  the  report  is  just  a  preliminary  one, 
and  it  is  too  early  to  predict  any  success 
in  efforts  to  kill  the  virus  or  develop  a 
vaccine  against  it. 

Leukosis  virus  is  small — so  tiny,  in 
fact,  that  it  will  pass  through  the  invisible 
pores  of  an  ordinary  urglazed  china  din- 
ner plate.  When  magnified  15,000  times 
and  photographed  by  the  electron  micro- 
scope, it  is  shaped  like  a  tadpole  with  a 
head  about  60  one-millionths  of  an  inch 
in  diameter  and  a  tail  somewhat  longer. 

Fowl  leukosis  affects  certain  cells  in  the 
bone  marrow,  causing  young  cells  to  mul- 
tiply in  tremendous  numbers.  These  are 
thrown  into  the  blood  stream  to  form  a 
sort  of  "floating  cancer."  The  normal  red 
cells  are  killed  and  replaced  by  the  can- 


cerous cells,  which  collect  in  vital  areas 
causing  paralysis  or  blindness.  The  chick- 
ens die  of  anemia  and  starvation. 

The  Duke  team  made  thousands  of  tests 
before  determining  that  the  fatal  virus  is 
carried  from  chick  to  chick  through  the 
breed,  through  plasma,  or  by  virus  in- 
fected cells.  Again  and  again  they 
whirled  virus-laden  plasma  at  high  speeds 
in  a  centrifuge,  gradually  separating  com- 
ponents until  the  tiny  killer  was  isolated. 


The  fowl  leukosis  virus  is  minute 
enough  to  pass  through  the  invisible 
pores  of  an  ordinary  unglazed  china 
dinner  plate,  but  when  magnified 
15,000  times  and  photographed  by  the 
electron  microscope,  it  looks  like  this. 

Isolation  of  virus  by  Duke  scientists  is 
nothing  new.  A  Duke  team  in  1937  puri- 
fied the  first  known  cancer-causing  virus, 
that  of  rabbit  papilloma.  The  dread  New- 
castle disease  virus  was  isolated  a  few 
years  ago. 

Wonder  Hormone  Heals 

While  the  above  work  was  going  on, 
another  Duke  team  struggled  to  save  the 
life  of  a  nine-year-old  boy,  badly  bumed 
four  and  a  half  years  ago.  Eighty-five 
blood  transfusions  kept  him  alive  while 
the  doctors  desperately  attempted  to  graft 
skin  on  charred  tissues.  Forty-two  at- 
tempts failed;  the  transplanted  skin  tis- 
tue  melted  away  and  vanished  within  a 
week.     It  looked  hopeless. 

Then  the  doctors  decided  to  try  ACTH, 
the  wonder  hormone  that  controls  and 
eases  so  many  crippling,  stubborn  and 
painful  diseases.  A  four-man  research 
team  consisting  of  Dr.  Frank  L.  Engel, 
assistant  professor  of  medicine  and  in- 
structor in  physiology;  Dr.  Samuel  P. 
Martin,  associate  in  medicine  and  bac- 
teriology; Dr.  Benjamin  F.  Edwards  and 
Dr.  Theodore  B.  Schwartz  reported  the 
results  of  the  test  at  the  second  ACTH 


Conference  held  recently  in  Chicago. 

The  child  was  given  the  hormone  for 
two  days,  and  then  small  experimental 
skin  grafts  were  attempted  on  the  small 
patient's  chest  burns.  Eighty  per  cent 
of  them  survived.  Two  more  grafting 
procedures  were  tried — again  success,  as 
healthy  new  skin  began  to  grow  spon- 
taneously on  the  edges  of  the  less  severely 
burned  areas.  ACTH,  as  it  has  many 
times  before,  was  easing  a  child's  pain 
and  saving  his  life. 

Possible  Cause  of  Blood  Pressure 

Duke  doctors  have  been  busy  studying 
ACTH  for  some  time.  Only  last  spring 
they  established  a  connection  between 
high  blood  pressure  in  persons  with  ne- 
phritis (kidney  disease)  and  the  amount 
of  ACTH  produced  in  their  own  pituitary 
glands. 

The  disease  may  be  caused  by  the 
amount  of  ACTH  produced  in  the  body. 
Furthermore,  eating  a  diet  low  in  protein 
seems  to  decrease  the  gland's  output  of 
ACTH  and  thereby  lowers  blood  pressure. 

Dr.  Philip  Handler,  professor  of  bio- 
chemistry, and  Dr.  Frederick  Bernheim, 
professor  of  pharmacology,  have  been 
making  investigations  of  the  hormone. 
Implications  of  their  discoveries  may  be 
important  in  the  treatment  of  high  blood 
pressure  and  heart  disease  in  humans. 

Subjects  of  the  Duke  experiments  were 
rats  with  high  blood  pressure  produced 
by  removing  one  kidney  and  partially 
damaging  another.  Drs.  Handler  and 
Bernheim  proved  that  when  these  rats 
were  fed  large  amounts  of  protein,  their 
blood  pressure  rose  quickly.  When  they 
ate  low  protein  diets,  the  pressures 
dropped  back  to  normal. 

Seeking  an  explanation,  the  Duke  sci- 
entists gave  ACTH  to  rats  that  had  been 
eating  small  amounts  of  protein.  In  four 
hours  their  blood  pressure  rose  from  nor- 
mal to  a  high  level — about  as  high  as  if 
they  had  been  eating  the  high  protein  diet. 
Then  they  gave  the  hormone  to  rats  that 
had  been  eating  larger  amounts  of  protein. 
Although  these  rats  already  had  high 
blood  pressure,  the  level  went  no  higher. 
In  the  same  way,  ordinary  rats  with  un- 
damaged kidneys  were  not  affected,  re- 
gardless of  what  they  ate. 

The  investigators  concluded  that,  in 
rats  with  kidney  disease,  high  blood  pres- 
sure occurs  only  when  the  animal  is  mak- 
ing sufficient  amounts  of  ACTH.  They 
also  obtained  evidence  suggesting  that 
eating  a  low  protein  diet  results  in  a  de- 
creased secretion  of  ACTH  by  the  pitui- 
tary, gland,  thereby  explaining  the  effects 
of  such  a  diet  on  high  blood  pressure. 

All  this  may  answer  many  questions 
about  diet  and  about  the  action  of  ACTH. 
When    scientists   have   discovered   why   a 


[  Page  8  ] 


DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  January,  1951 


low-protein  diet  affects  the  body  in  this 
way,  they  may  be  on  the  way  to  a  solu- 
tion to  the  problems  of  high  blood  pres- 
sure and  kidney  disease  in  humans.  How- 
ever, there  is  much  work  to  be  done  be- 
fore a  final  conclusion  can  be  drawn. 

Ulcer  Drug  Successful 

More  advances  were  recorded  for  Duke 
medicine  when  Dr.  Keith  S.  Grimson, 
professor  of  surgery,  recently  described 
excellent  results  from  a  new  drug,  Ban- 
thine,  used  in  the  treatment  of  peptic 
ulcer. 

Banthine,  a  trade  name  for  the  gen- 
eric jaw-breaker  beta-diethylaminoethyl- 
xanthene-9-carboxylate  methobromide,  has 
been  found  helpful  in  blocking  the  trans- 
mission of  nerve  impulses  which  cause 
spasms  in  the  stomach  and  upper  intes- 
tines. These  spasms  often  result  in  mas- 
sive hemorrhages,  considerable  pain,  and 
the  need  for  operation.  The  new  drug 
relieves  the  pain  and  helps  to  eliminate  or 
delay  surgery.  It  is  available  only  on  a 
doctor's  prescription. 

Dr.  Grimson,  speaking  before  the 
fourth  annual  Clinical  Session  of  the 
American  Medical  Association  at  Cleve- 
land, announced  the  results  of  a  study 
made  by  him  and  two  Duke  alumni  asso- 


ciates, Dr.  C.  Keith  Lyons,  M.D.  '46,  and 
Dr.  Benjamin  H.  Flowe,  M.D.  '49,  which 
involved  100  patients. 

The  treatment  began  back  in  March 
1949  and  these  patients  will  be  followed 
through  at  least  five  years  of  close  study 
before  any  definite  conclusions  will  be 
made.  Results  of  the  tests  so  far,  how- 
ever, have  been  encouraging.  Of  the  100 
patients  covered  in  the  study,  62  had 
shown  symptoms,  pain,  spasms  and  some 
massive  hemorrhaging,  indicating  a  need 
for  operation.  After  treatment  with 
Banthine  varying  from  five  to  45  weeks, 
only  10  of  the  62  subsequently  required 
surgery. 

Of  the  52  not  yet  requiring  an  opera- 
tion, 20  (38  per  cent)  experienced  con- 
tinuing complete  relief  from  pain,  23  (45 
per  cent)  satisfactory  relief  and  only  nine 
(17  per  cent)   suffered  brief  recurrences. 

Of  the  other  group  of  38  patients  not 
needing  surgery  at  the  time  they  were 
placed  on  treatment,  24  (63  per  cent) 
experienced  continuing  complete  relief, 
12  (32  per  cent)  satisfactory  relief  and 
only  two  (5  per  cent)  had  brief  relapses. 
Clearly  this  demonstrates  the  great  possi- 
bilities for  the  new  drug. 

Dr.    Grimson    cautioned    against    any 


sweeping  optimisms  and  conclusions  by 
stating  that  it  was  still  too  early  to  fore- 
tell the  extent  of  the  protection  offered  by 
the  drug.  Although  there  is  no  evidence 
of  chronic  toxicity  or  evidence  of  increas- 
ing tolerance  with  use,  there  are  some  side 
effects  including  dilated  pupils,  dryness 
of  the  mouth  and  relaxation  of  the  blad- 
der. Patients  are  required  to  take  Ban- 
thine every  six  hours,  sometimes  every 
four  hours,  day  and  night.  Much  depends 
upon  their  co-operation  with  this  schedule. 

The  surgeon  concluded  by  saying  that 
gastric  ulcers  with  their  associated  risk 
of  malignancy  should  be  still  treated  in 
the  conventional  surgical  manner  with 
"medical  management  being  indicated 
only  when  prompt  and  complete  healing 
is  demonstrated." 

Continuing  medical  progress  at  Duke 
Hospital  and  the  School  of  Medicine  is 
accomplished  by  the  #  teamwork  and  co- 
operation of  competent  doctors  working 
steadily  and  indefatigably  in  research. 
The  work  of  these  able  scientists  in  mak- 
ing Duke  one  of  the  leading  medical  cen- 
ters in  the  South  is  a  source  of  great 
pride  to  the  University,  its  community 
and  alumni,  and  to  the  city  and  state  in 
which  Duke  is  located. 


Alumnae  Week  End 

The  announcement  concerning  Alumnae 
Week  End  on  April  6,  7,  and  8,  which 
appeared  in  the  December  Alumni  Reg- 
ister, has  meet  with  widespread  approval 
according  to  information  received  in  the 
Alumni  Office.  The  idea  of  returning  to 
the  campus  during  regular  school  time, 
rather  than  during  spring  vacation,  ap- 
peals to  alumnae  of  all  ages.  Final  plans 
are  being  made  and  a  complete  program 
will  be  mailed  to  alumnae  within  the  next 
few  weeks. 

Dr.  Gloria  M.  Wysner,  an  authority  on 
the  Near  East,  who  is  the  only  woman 
ever  named  as  a  consultant  to  The  Inter- 
national Missionary  Council  in  Associa- 
tion with  the  World  Council  of  Churches, 
is  to  be  one  of  the  featured  speakers. 
Her  book,  Near  East  Panorama,  is  being 
used  this  year  as  the  official  mission  study 
book  for  many  churches  including  the 
Methodist,    Presbyterian,    and    Episcopal. 

Dr.  Wysner  is  in  the  Near  East  at 
present,  but  will  return  shortly  before 
Alumnae  Week  End.  Her  address,  there- 
fore, will  be  timely,  and  based  on  first 
hand  information. 

The  Week  End  program  will  open  with 
a  dinner  in  the  West  Campus  Union  at

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  January,  1951 


[  Page  9  ] 


State  Supreme  Court  Member 


Jeff  D.  Johnson,  Jr.,  '22,  recently 
sworn  in  as  Associate  Justice  of  the 
North  Carolina  State  Supreme  Court, 
climaxed  a  career  of  service  to  the  people 
of  his  state  as  an  attorney  and  legislator. 

North  Carolina  voters  recognized  his 
outstanding-  ability  and  long;  service  by 
confirming  in  the  November  elections  his 
earlier  nomination  by  the  State  Demo- 
cratic Committee  to  fill  the  vacancy  cre- 
ated by  the  death  of  Associate  Justice 
A.  A.  F.  Seawell. 

Within  moments  after  taking  the  oath 
of  office  from  Chief  Justice  W.  P.  Stacy, 
Justice  Johnson  donned  his  robe  and 
joined  his  new  colleagues  in  a  review  of 
appeals  from  the  Ninth  and  Twelfth  Dis- 
tricts. 

The  soft-spoken,  friendly  new  associate 
justice  is  the  antithesis  of  a  staid  and 
solemn  individual  one  might  expect  in  the 
State's  highest  court.  His  gift  for  catch- 
ing and  remembering  names,  his  quiet, 
unassuming  manner,  and  his  personal 
warmth  have  won  him  an  untold  number 
of  friends  during  his  long  career  as  a 
popular  North  Carolina  lawyer.  Stead- 
fast in  purpose,  unswerving  in  honesty 
and  indomitable  in  the  defense  of  a  right, 
he  has  commanded  the  respect  of  all  who 
have  known  him.  An  example  of  this 
esteem  is  the  fact  that  he  as  a  Democrat 
has  carried  the  election  in  every  office  he 
has  held  in  a  solidly  Republican  county. 
His  combination  of  humanitarianism, 
keen  intellect  and  great  capabilities  will 
certainly  be  reflected  in  decisions  handed 
down  from  the  Supreme  Court. 

Justice  Johnson's  participation  in  State 
affairs  dates  back  to  1936  when  he  was  a 
member  of  the  State  Senate  which  passed 
such  legislation  as  old  age  assistance  and 
aid  to  dependent  children,  and  the  Un- 
employment Compensation  Act.  Four 
years  later  he  was  appointed  chairman  of 
the  important  Senate  Committee  on 
Roads.  He  introduced  and  pressed  the 
passage  of  a  bill  making  the  Motor  Ve- 
hicle Bureau  a  separate  State  department. 
He  was  regarded  by  his  colleagues  as  a 
"liberal." 

Born  on  June  6,  1900,  Justice  John- 
son is  a  "Tar  Heel"  from  way  back.  His 
ancestors  settled  in  areas  around  Garland 
in  Sampson  County  before  the  Revolu- 
tionary War.  As  a  boy,  he  worked  and 
played  on  his  father's  farm  at  Garland, 
a  farm  which  the  elder  Johnson  still  op- 


erates in  addition  to  his  lumber  business. 
The  young  Jeff  Johnson  attended  the 
Garland  High  School  and  Trinity  Park 
School  in  Durham,  and  enrolled  at  Trinity 
College  in  1919.  Originally  he  planned  a 
business  career,  graduating  with  an  A.B. 
degree  in  the  class  of  1922,  but  later  he 
switched  to  law  and  returned  to  Trinity 
to  study  under  the  late  Dr.  Samuel  Fox 
Mordeeai.  The  admiration  he  had  for 
this  great   teacher,  plus   a   gamecock   de- 


Jeff  D.  Johnson,  Jr.,  '22 

termination  to  succeed,  inspired  him  to 
lead  the  class  of  1926  in  scholarship,  fol- 
lowed closely  by  Fred  C.  Owen,  '26,  of 
Durham,  and  Bryce  R.  Holt,  '23,  A.M. 
'24,  of  Greensboro,  who  is  now  U.  S.  At- 
torney for  the  Middle  North  Carolina 
District. 

To  defray  his  college  expenses,  Justice 
Johnson  worked  as  representative  of  a 
clothing  store  and  boarding  house,  sec- 
retary of  the  Trinity  College  Athletic 
Association,  taught  school  for  a  year,  and 
played  semi-professional  baseball  during 
the  summers. 

He  was  a  stellar  first  baseman  for  the 
Trinity  College  nine,  and,  in  his  senior 
year,  was  a  member  of  the  team  that  won 
State  and  Southern  Conference  champion- 
ships. Later,  after  turning  down  an  offer 
to  join  Pittsburgh's  farm-club  at  Wichita, 
Kansas,  in  the  Western  League,  he  played 


on  various  semi-professional  teams  in  the 
Carolinas  and  in  Mississippi.  He  de- 
clined an  offer  to  manage  the  Meridian 
Club  in  the  Cotton  States  League  in  1926 
in  favor  of  continuing  his  law  studies. 

Three  of  his  former  teammates  at 
Trinity  are  now  city  school  superintend- 
ents: J.  0.  Sanderson,  '24,  of  Raleigh; 
L.  E.  Spikes,  '24,  M.Ed.  '34,  of  Burling- 
ton; and  Charles  F.  Carroll,  Jr.,  '21, 
M.Ed.  '30,  of  High  Point.  Other  friends 
and  teammates  included  Joseph  E. 
"Smokey  Joe"  Caviness,  '22  (who  pitched 
with  a  World  War  I  bullet  in  his  chest), 
of  Lillington;  Fred  Folger,  '23,  of  Mt. 
Airy;  Neal  Salmon,  '20,  of  Lillington; 
and  L.  B.  Hathaway,  '21,  of  Winston- 
Salem,  who  is  now  president  of  the  Physi- 
cal Education  Directors  of  the  Carolinas. 

In  1926  Justice  Johnson  began  his  law 
practice  at  Clinton.  Two  years  later  he 
was  town  attorney,  a  job  he  held  for  13 
years.  He  was  also  chairman  of  the 
Sampson  County  Board  of  Elections  for 
six  years. 

Justice  Johnson  was  married  to  the 
former  Miss  Virginis  Frances  Faison  in 
1935.  Mrs.  Johnson,  a  graduate  of  the 
Woman's  College  of  the  University  of 
North  Carolina,  was  at  that  time  a  school 
teacher.  They  now  have  three  children : 
Frances  Faison,  13,  Mary  Lily,  11,  and 
Jeff,  III,  nine. 

Justice  and  Mrs.  Johnson  make  their 
home  at  304  Main  St.,  Clinton,  in  a  large, 
comfortable  century-old  house.  They  at- 
tend the  Methodist  Church,  where  Mrs. 
Johnson  takes  an  active  leadership  and 
where  he  is  chairman  of  the  board  of 
trustees  and  former  chairman  of  the  board 
of  stewards.  Justice  Johnson  is  also  a 
member  of  such  groups  as  the  American 
Legion,  of  which  he  was  a  former  Post 
commander,  Masons,  Sigma  Chi,  Sigma 
Nu  Phi  legal  fraternity,  Red  Friars, 
Tombs,  and  Omicron  Delta  Kappa. 

The  new  associate  justice  relaxes  from 
his  legal  duties  by  reading  widely  of  his- 
tory and  biography  and  listening  to  good 
music.  An  occasional  hunt  and  quiet 
family  diversions  make  up  the  rest  of 
what  little  leisure  time  he  has. 


Benjamin  F.  Few,  '15,  has  been 
named  President  of  Liggett  and  Myers 
Tobacco  Co.,  effective  February  1, 
1951.  A  Director  and  senior  Vice- 
President  of  the  Company  with  which 
he  has  been  associated  since  1916,  Mr. 
Few  succeeds  J.  W.  Andrews  who  is 
retiring. 

Mr.  Few  is  a  trustee  of  the  Univer- 
sity and  National  Chairman  of  our 
Development  Campaign.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  January,  1951 


California  Senator 
Is  a  Duke  Alumnus 

Senator  Richard  Milhous  Nixon,  LL.B. 
'37,  adds  a  strong  voice  to  the  1951  United 
States  Senate  after  recently  defeating 
Representative  Helen  Gahagan  Douglas 
in  the  California  senatorial  race.  He 
joins  Senator  Knowland  to  give  the  Re- 
publicans both  seats  from  a  large  and 
fast-growing  state  that  will  have  an  im- 
portant voice  in  the  1952  presidential 
campaign. 

During  his  two  terms  in  the  House  of 
Representatives  from  1946  to  1950,  Sena- 
tor Nixon  was  credited  with  being  a  vig- 
orous fighter  for  a  thorough-going  inquiry 
into  the  influences  of  Communism  in  the 
government.  Perhaps  his  biggest  achieve- 
ment was  breaking  the  Hiss-Chambers 
case  by  issuing  a  subpoena  leading  to  dis- 
covery of  the  famous  ''pumpkin  papers." 
This  was  accomplished  when  he  was  a 
member  of  the  House  Committee  on  Un- 
American  Activities.  He  also  figured  in 
pressing  prosecution  of  eleven  Commu- 
nist leaders  and  Judith  Coplon.  Recently 
he  succeeded  in  getting  Lee  Pressman  to 
testify  before  the  committee. 

The  only  California  Representative  to 
receive  two  committee  appointments  at 
the  same  time  during  the  session,  Senator 
Nixon  also  served  on  the  Education-Labor 
Committee.  In  this  capacity  he  played 
a  considerable  part  in  drafting  and  sup- 
porting the  Taft-Hartley  Bill.  He  was 
regarded  as  advocating  a  consistently 
"middle-of-the-road"  approach  and  fought 
the  Truman  administration's  "Fair  Deal" 
program.  He  also  served  on  the  Herter 
Foreign  Aid  Committee. 


"Capital  Cloakroom'' 

North  Carolina  Democratic  Senator 
Willis  Smith,  '10,  Duke  University 
Trustee,  and  California  Republican 
Senator  Richard  M.  Nixon,  LL.B.  '37, 
were  recent  guests  on  the  major  net- 
work radio  program  "Capital  Cloak- 
room." By  interviewing  members  of 
the  legislature,  the  program  attempts 
to  inform  the  listening  audience  of 
personal  views  and  activities  of  the 
men  the  nation  sends  to  Washington. 
Mr.  Smith  and  Mr.  Nixon,  two  of 
Duke's  outstanding  contributions  to 
the  political  field,  were  among  a  small 
group  of  new  Senators  interviewed  on 
the  program.  They  each  outlined  some 
of  their  opinions  on  the  world  situa- 
tion and  what  they  think  should  be 
done  about  current  international  prob- 
lems. 


On  November  7,  1950,  election  clay,  California's  new  United  States  Senator 
Richard  M.  Nixon,  LL.B.  '37,  Mrs.  Nixon,  and  their  two  daughters,  Julie  and 
Tricia,  went  to  the  polls  in  Whittier,  Calif.  The  election  resulted  in  victory 
for  Senator  Nixon  over  his  opponent  Helen  Gahagan  Douglas. 


In  1948  Richard  Nixon  was  chosen  by 
the  United  States  Junior  Chamber  of 
Commerce  as  one  of  the  10  outstanding 
young  men  of  the  entire  country. 

In  the  bitter  California  election  cam- 
paign, Senator  Nixon  emphasized  his 
work  with  the  House  committee  and 
charged  that  Mrs.  Douglas  followed  the 
Communist  Party  line  in  voting  against 
the  group.  The  substantial  majority  he 
obtained  over  Mrs.  Douglas,  who  ran  with 
powerful  Administration  and  Labor  back- 
ing, indicated  the  effectiveness  of  his 
appeal. 

Senator  Nixon's  start  in  politics  was 
itself  something  of  happenstance,  and 
certainly  a  curious  one  in  the  great  game 
of  seeking  public  office.  In  1945,  a  com- 
mittee of  100  persons  in  California's  12th 
district,  which  includes  24  medium-to- 
small  towns  east  of  Los  Angeles,  adver- 
tised for  a  candidate  to  run  for  Congress 
on  the  Republican  ticket. 

The  gesture  afforded  amusement,  and 
aroused  derision  on  the  part  of  politi- 
cians. Not  a  bit  daunted,  Mr.  Nixon,  then 
32  and  still  in  the  Navy,  answered  the 
advertisement,  became  the  candidate,  and 
defeated  Democratic  Representative  Voor- 
hees  by  a  substantial  majority.  In  1948 
he  polled  86.9  per  cent  of  the  vote  after 
receiving,  under  California's  cross-filing 
system,  both  the  Republican  and  Demo- 
cratic nominations. 

The  new  Senator,  son  of  a  California 
citrus  grower,  was  born  in  Yorba  Linda, 
Calif.  He  graduated  from  Whittier  Col- 
lege and  Duke  Law  School,  and  practiced 
law.  in  Whittier,  Calif.,  from  1937  until 
1942. 


Although  Richard  Nixon  was  of  Quaker 
parentage,  he  waived  Quaker  immunity 
in  the  last  war,  and  saw  duty  in  the 
South  Pacific,  earning  two  battle  stars 
and  attaining  the  rank  of  lieutenant  com- 
mander in  the  Navy. 

In  1940,  Senator  Nixon  was  married  to 
Patricia  Ryan.  They  have  two  daugh- 
ters, Julie  and  Tricia.  The  Senator's 
younger  brother,  Edward  C.  Nixon,  is 
now  a  junior  at  Duke  University. 

Duke  Well  Represented 
On  State  Legislature 

The  1951  General  Assembly  of  North 
Carolina  boasts  sixteen  Duke  alumni  in 
its  membership.  Five  of  the  50  Senators 
received  their  education  at  Duke,  as  did 
eleven  of  the  120  Representatives.  Two 
more  legislators  are  husbands  of  Duke 
alumnae,  one  is  the  son  of  an  alumnus, 
and  one  is  the  father  of  an  alumnus. 

Returning  from  the  previous  Senate 
is  Sam  Campen,  '10,  Pamlico.  Joseph  T. 
Carruthers,  Jr.,  '29,  LL.B.  '32,  Guilford, 
has  also  had  previous  senatorial  experi- 
ence. 

Among  the  new  Senators  are  Thomas 
B.  Sawyer,  '38,  Durham;  James  P.  Low- 
der,  '16,  Stanly;  and  E.  T.  Bost,  Jr., 
LL.B.  '33,  Cabarrus. 

Representatives  who  are  returning  from 
the  last  session  are  Alonzo  C.  Edwards, 
'25,  Greene;  Lee  Whitmire,  '20,  Hender- 
son; and  Fred  S.  Royster,  '30,  Vance. 

Others  who  have  had  previous  experi- 
ence in  the  House  of  Representatives  are

Price  Control  Assistant 

William  H.  Tate,  '34,  Chicago,  111.,  and 
Washington,  D.  C.  attorney,  has  begun 
his  new  duties  as  special  assistant  to 
Michael  V.  DiSalle,  director  of  price  sta- 
bilization, with  offices  in  Washington. 

Mr.  Tate,  who  was  formerly  attorney 
for  the  federal  alcohol  control  adminis- 
tration in  Washington  and  Chicago,  has 
been  admitted  to  the  Bars  of  Illinois, 
Indiana,  District  of  Columbia,  and  the 
Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States. 

Mrs.  Tate  is  the  former  Ruth  Hart,  '35. 
They  have  three  children. 

New  Shell  Oil  Department 

W.  M.  Upchureh,  Jr.,  '31,  LL.B.  '36, 
is  the  manager  of  the  recently  formed 
Employee  Publications  Department  in 
Shell  Oil  Company's  head  office  in  New 
York  City.  The  new  department  was  cre- 
ated in  recognition  of  the  steadily  increas- 
ing importance  of  providing  informa- 
tional and  educational  material  to  all 
Shell  employees. 

Mr.  Upchureh  joined  the  Shell  Develop- 
ment Company  as  personnel  director  in 
1942.  Until  that  time  he  was  director  of 
the  Duke  Appointments  Office  and  of 
Student  Activities  as  well  as  manager  of 
Quadrangle  Pictures.  Mr.  Upchureh  served 
in  all  three  capacities  at  the  same  time. 
His  former  duties  have  since  been  broken 
down  into  two  separate  jobs.  During 
one  summer,  he  also  directed  the  Chapel 
Choir. 

In  1944,  Mr.  Upchureh  left  the  Shell 
position  to  enter  the  Navy.  After  return- 
ing in  1946,  he  worked  in  the  Personnel 
Department  of  the  Shell  Development 
Company  until  the  time  of  his  new  as- 
signment with  the  Employee  Publications 
Department. 


Service  Addresses  Please! 

The  Alumni  Office  is  eager  to  keep  up  with  all  alumni  in  the  armed  forces,  even 
though  it  involves  frequent  changes.     Please  keep  them  informed. 

Christmas  cards  were  sent  to  all  alumni  in  the  armed  forces  in  the  Pacific  area 
for  whom  the  office  had  addresses.  The  following  letters  give  some  idea  of  what 
this  sort  of  thing  means  to  the  alumni.

San  Francisco,  Calif. 

I  appreciated  your  card  very  much  and  got  a  lot  of  pleasure  out  of  showing  my 
friends  the  photograph  of  the  Chapel.  It's  awfully  comforting  to  be  remembered 
by  friends  back  home;  for  as  you  can  guess,  Christmas  here  is  rather  dismal  except 
for  the  thoughtful  remembrances  such  as  yours. 

Please  give  my  very  best  regards  to  all  my  friends  back  at  Duke.  I  hope  that 
perhaps  the  New  Year  will  see  my  return.

F.  P.  0.,  San  Francisco,  Calif. 

I  received  your  Christmas  greeting  and  the  beautiful  Chapel  night  scene  brought 
back  many  cherished  memories. 

So  far,  I  haven't  run  into  any  Duke  friends  here  in  the  1st  Marine  Division, 
though  there  probably  are  some  from  the  Marine  V-12  program. 

We  landed  at  Inchon  on  September  15  and  captured  Seoul.  From  there,  we 
reloaded  and  landed  at  Wonsan,  proceeding  to  Hamhung  and  then  to  the  Chosin 
Reservoir.  I  was  not  among  the  encircled  Marines,  having  returned  to  Hamhung 
three  days  prior  to  the  attack.    We  left  Hungnam  by  sea  and  ended  up  here. 

The  Marines  form  a  wonderful  fighting  outfit.  Fortunately,  our  own  Engineer 
casualties  have  been  light  thus  far. 

I'll  certainly  be  glad  to  get  back  to  civilization  and  my  wife  and  daughter. 

I'd  appreciate  any  alumni  news  you  can  send.    I  get  the  Medical  Alumni  News. 


Dr.  Harvill  Is  President 
of  University  of  Arizona 

One  Duke  University  graduate  has  suc- 
ceeded another  to  the  presidency  of  the 
University  of  Arizona. 

Dr.  Richard  A.  Harvill,  A.M.  '27,  for- 
mer member  of  the  Duke  economics  fac- 
ulty, will  assume  the  post  of  president 
next  July.  He  will  succeed  J.  Byron 
McCormick,  S.J.D.  '33,  who  has  resigned 
the  presidency  to  return  to  his  professor- 
ship in  the  University  of  Arizona  Law 
School.  Dr.  Harvill  was  unanimously  ap- 
pointed by  the  state  board  of  regents  to 
fill  the  new  post. 

A  graduate  (with  distinction)  of  Mis- 
sissippi State  College  in  1926,  he  received 
his  doctorate  at  Northwestern  University 
in  1932. 

His  teaching  career  has  included  in- 
structorships  in  economics  at  Mississippi 
State,  and  in  economics  and  business  'ad- 


ministration at  Duke.  Dr.  Harvill  went 
to  the  University  of  Arizona  in  1934  as 
assistant  professor  of  economics,  and 
after  serving  as  visiting  professor  of  eco- 
nomics at  the  University  of  Buffalo  in 
1937-38,  he  remained  there  in  an  assistant 
professorship  until  1939  when  he  returned 
to  Arizona  as  associate  professor  of  eco- 
nomics. 

In  1942-43  he  was  assistant  district 
price  executive  in  the  Office  of  Price  Ad- 
ministration at  Phoenix;  from  1943  to 
1946  he  was  district  price  executive  in  the 
same  office. 

Dr.  Harvill  returned  to  the  University 
of  Arizona  campus  for  the  third  time  in 
1946  as  dean  of  the  graduate  college  and 
professor  of  economics.  In  1947  he  was 
named  to  his  present  post  of  dean  of  lib- 
eral arts. 

Mrs.  Harvill  is  the  former  Geroge  Lee 
Garner,  A.M.  '30,  and  they  live  at  1326 
East  Mabel  Street,  Tucson,  Ariz.

Although  he  will  perform  no  official 
duties  in  connection  with  the  Richmond 
area,  Bishop  Peele  will  remain  on  the  ac- 
tive list  of  bishops  until  he  is  due  for 
compulsory  retirement  because  of  age 
when  the  Southeastern  Jurisdictional 
Conference  of  the  Methodist  Church 
meets  in  Roanoke  in  July,  1952.  A  na- 
tive of  Gibson,  N.  C,  Bishop  Peele  was 
assigned  to  the  Richmond  area  when  he 
first  was  elected  a  bishop  in  1938. 

For  the  past  six  years,  Bishop  Garber 
has  spent  most  of  his  time  in  turbulent 
postwar  Europe  as  chief  of  the  13-nation 
Geneva  area.  Barred  from  much  of  his 
official  territory  in  Central  and  South- 
ern Europe,  he  will  continue  to  hold  the 
post  of  bishop  at  Geneva  while  serving 
here  as  the  acting  head  of  the  Richmond 
area. 

Bishop  Garber  taught  church  history  at 
the  Duke  Divinity  School  before  serving 
as  dean  from  1941  to  1944.  Ordained  as 
a  Methodist  minister  in  1926,  he  was 
elected  bishop  in  1944  and  assigned  to 
the  Geneva  area.  He  is  a  former  pastor 
of  Trinity  Methodist  Church  in  Durham. 

Alumni  Affairs  Assistant 

Thomas  D.  Donegan  has  replaced  C. 
Heber  Smith,  '43,  who  recently  resigned, 
as  assistant  to  Charles  A.  Dukes,  '29, 
director  of  Alumni  Affairs,  and  as  adver- 
tising manager  of  the  Duke  Alumni 
Register. 

Mr.  Donegan  has  been  doing  work  to- 
ward his  masters  degree  in  history  at 
Duke.  He  is  a  veteran  of  World  War  II, 
having  served  as  a  Captain  in  the  United 
States  Army.  Mr.  Donegan,  his  wife, 
and  their  six-year-old  son,  Tommy,  are

College  Honors  Louis  Jaffe 

The  entire  October  issue  of  the  Trojan 
Echo,  magazine  of  the  Norfolk  Division 
of  Virginia  State  College  for  Negroes, 
was  dedicated  to  the  memory  of  Louis 
I.  Jaffe,  '11,  because  of  his  great  interest 
in  the  growth  of  the  college. 

Mr.  Jaffe,  editor  of  the  Norfolk  Vir- 
ginian-Pilot, died  of  a  heart  attack  last 
March   12   at  the   Norfolk   General   Hos- 


pital. He  was  a  national  figure  in  the 
newspaper  profession,  and  devoted  much 
of  his  time  to  the  advancement  of  the 
principles  and  practice  of  freedom,  op- 
portunity and  education. 


A  $10,000  Louis  I.  Jaffe  Scholarship 
Fund  has  been  started  by  the  college  to 
perpetuate  his  memory.  It  was  felt  that 
Mr.  Jaffe  himself  would  prefer  this  to  a 
floral  tribute.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  January,  1951

Cage  Team  Starts  Impressive  Season 


Running  through  a  racehorse  schedule 
in  its  first  season  under  the  leadership  of 
Coach  Harold  Bradley,  the  Duke  Uni- 
versity varsity  basketball  team  has  looked 
impressive. 

The  Duke  outfit  has  clinched  a  spot  in 
the  hearts  of  the  basketball  fans  of  the 
Duke  campus  and  surrounding  territory. 
In  its  first  home  outing,  the  Blue  Devils 
tied  nationally  ranking  N.  C.  State  67-67 
at  the  end  of  the  regulation  game,  then 
dropped  a  77-71  decision  in  an  overtime 
period. 

While  the  Blue  Devils  were  expected 
to  have  a  fair-to-good  team,  play  at  times 
thus  far  in  the  season  has  been  nothing 
less  than  sensational.  Biggest  factor  in 
the  success  of  the  team  has  been  the  bril- 
liant play  of  junior  guard  Dick  Groat. 
Through  the  North  Carolina  State  game 
of  January  6,  Groat  had  scored  no  less 
than  314  points  in  13  games. 

Four  times  this  season  Groat  has  broken 
the  Duke  record  for  most  points  scored 
in  a  single  game.  Prior  to  this  season 
the  record  was  30,  tallied  by  All-America 
Ed  Koffenberger  in  1947.  Groat  scored 
31  points  against  Hanes  Hosiery  in  the 
first  game  this  season  to  break  that  mark, 
then  rebroke  the  record  with  34  points 
against  Washington  and  Lee.  His  36 
points  against  N.  C.  State  reset  the  mark. 

Besides  Groat,  the  most  outstanding 
players  for  the  Blue  Devils  have  been 
Capt.  Scotty  York,  a  much  improved  ca- 
vorter  at  guard;  Dick  Crowder,  John 
Engberg,  and  Bill  Fleming,  junior  for- 
wards; Keston  Deimling,  the  best  sopho- 
more on  the  squad,  who  plays  forward 
and  center;  Dayton  Allen  and  Jim  "Red" 
Kulpan,  both  junior  centers;  and  Dick 
Johnson,  a  sophomore  guard. 

The  Blue  Devils  opened  the  season  with 
a  76-71  win  over  Hanes  Hosiery,  then 
followed  with  a  72-60  win  over  the 
McCrary  Eagles.  Both  of  these  teams 
downed  the  Devils  last  fall.  Groat  led 
the  scoring  against  Hanes  with  31,  while 
Crowder  dropped  15  points.  Against 
McCrary,  John  Engberg  was  the  top 
scorer  with  15  points,  while  Dick  Groat 
and  Scotty  York  each  had  14. 

Duke  scored  a  20-point  win  over  Vir- 
ginia in  its  first  match  against  college 
opposition  December  9.  Groat  again  was 
top  scorer  with  20  tallies. 

In  games  played  in  Virginia  Military 
Institute's  new  gym  the  following  week- 
end,  the   Duke    crew   remained   unbeaten 


in  five  contests  by  downing  V.  M.  I.  86- 
66  and  Washington  and  Lee  97-69.  The 
lopsided  win  over  W.  and  L.  constituted 
the  most  points  ever  scored  by  a  Duke 
basketball  team  in  a  single  game. 

The  sensational  Groat  was  the  top 
scorer  in  both  of  the  games  played  at 
Lexington,  Va.  He  tallied  27  points 
against  Virginia  Military  Institute,  then 
sank  a  record-breaking  34  points  against 
Washington  and  Lee.  In  his  performance 
against  the  latter  outfit,  Groat  dropped 
14  of  15  free  throw  attempts  and  had 
connected  on  eleven  straight  at  halftime. 
Dick  Crowder  was  runner-up  against  the 
Generals  with  26  points. 

On  December  22,  Duke  made  it  six 
games  without  defeat  by  edging  George 
Washington  at  Washington  70-67.  The 
Devils  froze  the  ball  the  final  three  min- 
utes of  play.  Groat  led  the  scoring  with 
21  points,  while  Center  Dayton  Allen  had 
13  and  Keston  Deimling-,  soph  forward, 
had  11. 

The  following  night  against  the  nation's 
No.  1  team,  Bradley  University,  at  Peoria, 
111.,  Duke  dropped  its  first  game  by  93- 
58.  Groat  again  was  top  scorer,  this 
time  getting  26  points  against  the  Brad- 
ley powerhouse. 

The  Devils  dropped  an  84-69  decision 
to  Colgate  on  opening  night,  but  came 
back  to  trounce  North  Carolina  71-63  on 
the  second  day  and  pull  the  biggest  sur- 
prise of  the  entire  tourney  by  beating 
Tulane  University  72-71  on  the  final  day 
of  the  tourney.  The  surprising  part  of 
the  Tulane  game  was  that  Duke  trailed 
by  29  points  at  halftime  and  at  one  time 
during  the  contest  trailed  by  32  points. 
Dick  Groat,  by  scoring  32  points  against 
Tulane,  copped  the  tourney  scoring 
championship  with  a  total  of  71  tallies. 
He  marked  up  16  points  against  Colgate 
and  23  against  rival  Carolina. 

Apparently  tired  from  a  tough  sched- 
ule, the  Devils  dropped  their  next  three 
engagements.  Canisius  won  69-57  on 
New  Year's  Day  in  a  game  played  at 
Buffalo,  N.  Y.  and  two  days  later  against 
Penn,  the  Quakers  won  85-76.  Against 
Canisius  Groat  took  off  high  scoring  hon- 
ors with  11,  but  it  was  his  poorest  night's 
work  of  the  season.  Deimling  and  York 
were  runners-up  in  the  scoring  against 
Canisius  with  ten  points  apiece.  Against 
Pennsylvania,  Groat  was  high  scorer  with 
23,  while  sub  center  Jim  "Red"  Kulpan 
was  runner-up  with  15. 


The  loss  to  N.  C.  State  was  the  most 
heart-breaking  of  the  season.  Duke  led 
by  eight  points  near  the  end — the  Devils' 
first  lead  of  the  game — but  the  State  crew 
tied  the  count  at  67-67  with  less  than  a 
minute  to  go  and  the  score  ended  that 
way.  State  won  easily  77-71  in  the  over- 
time period.  Duke  fans  had  one  consola- 
tion out  of  the  loss,  however.  In  that, 
their  Dick  Groat  outscored  Sam  Ranzino, 
the  State  ace,  36  to  32. 

A  field  goal  from  near  mid-court  by 
Captain  Scotty  York  with  only  ten  sec- 
onds left  in  the  game  gave  the  Blue  Devils 
their  winning  margin  in  a  60-58  victory 
over  South  Carolina.  Dick  Groat  led  the 
Duke  scoring  with  21  points,  while  Dick 
Crowder  had  nine  and  Red  Kulpan  had 
eight.  Slim  Jim  Slaughter,  six  feet,  elev- 
en inch  center,  paced  the  South  Carolina 
scoring  by  ringing  34  points. 

Duke  won  another  thriller  at  home  on 
January  13  by  edging  West  Virginia  77- 
73  as  Groat  again  led  the  Duke  individual 
scoring  by  hooping  28  points,  including 
ten  free  throws.  West  Virginia's  high 
man  was  big  Mark  Workman,  six-nine 
center,  who  sank  22  tallies. 

Duke  was  upset  by  a  scrappy  band  of 
William  and  Mary  Indians  in  their  last 
game  prior  to  exams.  William  and  Mary 
won  74-57  on  its  home  court,  sophomore 
forward  Bill  Chambers  leading  the  upset 
by  sinking  28  points.  Duke's  high  scorer 
was  Groat  again,  but  he  was  held  to  16 
points.  Bill  Fleming  had  12  points  and 
runner-up  honors  for  Duke.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  January,  1951 


Death  of  Coach  Gerard  Mourned  by  Many 


The  death  of  Kenneth  C.  (Gerry) 
Gerard  on  January  17  was  mourned  by 
the  entire  University  community  and  by 
the  hundreds  of  alumni  who  were  counted 
among  his  many  friends. 

"Gerry"  Gerard  relinquished  his  post 
as   cage   coach   just   this   year  to   take   a 


Geret  Gerard 

leave  of  absence  due  to  ill  health.  For 
many  months  he  had  been  under  the  con- 
stant care  of  a  physician  and  for  the  past 
few  weeks  he  had  been  in  a  critical  con- 
dition. 

The  death  of  the  popular  coach,  who 
was  also  one  of  the  South's  top  athletic 
officials,  occasioned  sincere  and  glowing 
tribute  to  his  fine  character  and  splendid 
sportsmanship  in  newspapers  throughout 
the  region  of  the  Southern  Conference. 
The  attention  devoted  by  newspapers  to 
his  death  and  past  career  was  a  profound 
testimony  of  Gerry's  multitude  of  friends 
and  the  esteem  in  which  he  was  always 
held. 

Twice  during  the  past  three  years,  as 
Blue  Devil  cage  coach,  Gerard  took  teams 
that  were  plagued  by  ill  luck  and  a  lack 
of  material  into  the  finals  of  the  South- 
ern Conference  Basketball  Tournament, 
and  won  for  himself  honors  as  Confer- 
ence Coach  of  the  Year.  Although  during 
his  eight  years  at  the  helm  of  the  Blue 
Devil  cagers  he  won  two  conference 
championships  and  went  to  the  tourna- 
ment finals  six  times,  these  last  three 
years  gave  unimpeachable  evidence  of  his 
courage  and  will  to  fight. 

For  during  these  last  years  recurrent 
illness  and  a  major  operation  created  con- 
stant fear  that  "Gerry"  might  never  re- 


cover from  the  ailment  that  eventually 
caused  his  death. 

Typical  of  the  tribute  paid  him 
throughout  the  South  were  these  remarks 
by  his  University  colleagues: 

President  Hollis  Edens  said,  ''Coach 
Gerard  lived  and  worked  in  the  highest 
tradition  of  good  sportsmanship  and  his 
quiet  courage  and  innate  goodness  won 
the  respect  of  those  who  knew  him." 

"Gerry  Gerard's  colleagues  everywhere 
have  lost  a  good  and  great  friend,"  E.  M. 
Cameron,  director  of  athletics  said.  "On 
or  off  the  playing  fields  he  was  always  the 
'good  sport.'  He  was  never  too  busy 
to  do  a  favor  or  pass  along  a  kind  word. 
He  was  always  the  good  friend,  and  in 
consequence  his  friends  were  legion." 

Southern  Conference  Commissioner  and 
former  Duke  football  coach,  "Wallace 
Wade  said :  "It  has  rarely  been  my  for- 
tune to  have  worked  and  lived  with  such 
a  man.  His  life  is  an  example  to  all  of 
us  and  the  people  of  this  region  and  all 
over  the  Xation  will  never  forget  him.'' 

Funeral  services  were  held  in  the  Duke 
University  Chapel  on  January  18,  with 
Dr.  H.  E.  Spenee,  professor  of  Biblical 
Literature,  and  Profesor  James  T. 
Cleland.  preacher  to  the  University,  offi- 
ciating. Assisting  were  the  Reverend 
R.  E.  Brown  and  the  Reverend  Kelsey 
Regen.  Interment  was  in  the  new  section 
of  Maplewood  Cemetery. 

Born  at  Mishawaka,  Ind.,  on  July  14, 
1903,  Gerard  was  an  outstanding  athlete 
in  high  school  there.  He  entered  the 
University  of  Illinois  in  the  fall  of  1925, 
and  soon  became  a  star  at  track  and  foot- 
ball. He  was  a  member  of  the  Phi  Gama 
Delta  fraternity. 


He  was  graduated  with  a  B.S.  degree 
in  physical  education  from  Illinois  in 
1928.  After  coaching  for  a  year  at 
Athens  (Pa.)  High  School,  he  returned 
to  Illinois  as  an  instructor  in  physical 
education.  In  1931  he  came  to  Duke  as 
an  instructor  in  physical  education  and 
as  director  of  intramural  athletics. 

He  established  at  Duke  an  intramural 
athletic  program  that  is  now  ranked  as 
one  of  the  best  in  the  nation.  In  1935  he 
organized  and  coached  the  first  Duke  soc- 
cer team,  and  in  1943  he  became  basket- 
ball coach  when  Coach  Eddie  Cameron 
moved  up  as  athletic  director  and  war- 
time head  football  coach. 

Gerry's  success  in  basketball  was  phe- 
nomenal. In  eight  years,  his  Duke  teams 
went  to  the  finals  of  the  Southern  Con- 
ference tournaments  six  times  and  won 
two  championships.  He  was  named 
"Coach  of  the  Year"  twice  during  the 
last  three  seasons. 

He  was  made  an  honorary  member  of 
the  Duke  Chapter  of  ODK,  national  lead- 
ership fraternity. 

Coach  Gerard  was  past  president  of 
the  Southern  Conference  Football  Offi- 
cials Association  and  was  rated  the  num- 
ber one  football  referee  in  the  Conference. 
He  officiated  at  Conference  basketball 
games  before  he  began  coaching,  and  was 
in  great  demand  as  a  track  official.  He 
also  did  play-by-play  radio  announcing 
of  basketball  games. 

In  1935,  Coach  Gerard  married  Ellen 
Moses,  '29,  of  Norfolk,  Va.,  who  survives. 
Other  survivors  are  his  two  daughters, 
Joan,  14,  and  Nancy,  7;  his  mother,  Mrs. 
W.  C.  Gerard,  of  Mishawaka,  Ind.;  a 
sister,  Mrs.  William  L.  Pippenger,  of 
Mishawaka ;  and  a  niece,  Carol  Pippen- 
ger, of  Mishawaka. 


Dick  Crowder  Chosen 
Athlete  of  the  Week 

A  record  number  of  West  Virginia  re- 
bounds and  a  substantial  contribution  of 
points  and  rebounds  in  the  South  Caro- 
lina game  won  the  Greensboro  Daily  Neius 
Athlete  of  the  Week  award  for  Dick 
Crowder  recently. 

In  these  days  of  the  high  scoring  play- 
ers, those  boys  who  score  less  than  20 
points  in  a  game  often  find  themselves  in 
the  "also  played"  sentences  of  basketball 
reports.  But  Dick  took  at  least  half  of 
the  36  rebounds  the  Blue  Devils  snared 
in  the  West  Virginia  game,  which  ended 
77-73  in  Duke's  favor.  According  to  many 
observers,  this  turned  the  tide  in  the  im- 
portant Southern  Conference  contest,  for 


West  Virginia's  ace  Mark  Workman  gets 
most  of  his  points  with  tap-ins  and  under- 
the-basket  shots. 

Harold  Bradley,  Duke  basketball  coach, 
said :  "Crowder's  fine  play,  especially  in 
getting  the  ball  off  the  defensive  back- 
board, helped  immeasurably  in  the  victory 
over  West  Virginia.  If  he  continues  to 
play  as  well  as  that  he  will  be  one  of  our 
most  valuable  men." 

Dick's  scoring  average  was  not  bad

Carr,  Jr.,  '15,  was  appointed  to  succeed 
him. 

In  speaking  of  Dr.  Proctor's  resigna- 
tion, Dr.  Edens  said,  "The  weight  of  his 
many  duties  made  it  necessary  for  Dr. 
Proctor  to  ask  relief.  Fortunately  he  has 
agreed  to  remain  on  as  professor  of  edu- 
cation." Dr.  Proctor  has  been  a  member 
of  the  Duke  staff  since  1923.

The  new  chairman,  a  specialist  in  the 
field  of  child  education  and  a  frequent 
and  well-known  contributor  to  national 
education  journals  and  other  publications, 
was  principal  of  the  Advance  and  West 
Durham  Schools  before  coming  to  Duke. 
He  also  served  as  superintendent  of  the 
Schools  of  Durham  County  from  1920-24. 

Arts  Council 
Receives  $5,000 

A  gift  of  $5,000  from  an  anonymous 
benefactor  for  improved  art  exhibition 
facilities  was  announced  recently  by  Mrs. 
Calvin  B.  Hoover,  president  of  the  Duke 
Arts  Council. 

The  money  will  be  used  to  replace  in- 
adequate gallery  lighting  and  provide  the 
latest,  ultra-modern  fluorescent  lighting 
fixtures.  According  to  Dr.  Katharine  E. 
Gilbert,  professor  of  philosophy  and  chair- 
man of  the  Department  of  Aesthetics, 
Art,  and  Music,  present  lighting  provides 


only  20  per  cent  of  the  illumination  nec- 
essary to  show  the  paintings  to  best  ad- 
vantage. 

In  addition  to  improved  lighting,  the 
gift  will  provide  for  the  installation  of 
six  metal  and  glass  constructed  museum 
eases.  These  will  be  used  to  exhibit 
ceramics  and  textile  art,  old  manuscripts 
and  other  similar  objects.  Special  locks 
will  safeguard  valuables  lent  for  display. 

A  number  of  major  events  are  sched- 
uled by  the  Council  for  the  coming 
months.  On  February  2  there  will  be 
an  exhibit  of  water  color  paintings  by  the 
modern  Swiss  artist  Paul  Klee.  At  the 
time  of  his  death,  several  years  ago,  Mr. 
Klee  had  gained  world  renown  as  one  of 
the  greatest  of  modern  painters.  His 
works  are  highly  valued  by  connoisseurs. 
The  Council's  exhibit  will  consist  of  a 
number  of  the  artist's  works  loaned  by 
Dr.  Joseph  A.  McClain,  Dean  of  the 
School  of  Law.  Other  Klee  water  colors 
will  be  supplied  by  Yale  University  and 
the  Phillips  Gallery,  Washington. 

The  Arts  Council  is  sponsoring  a  con- 
cert in  April  by  two  nationally  known 
vocalists :  Miss  Norma  Heyde,  soprano, 
of  the  University  of  Michigan,  and  Wil- 
liam Hess,  tenor,  of  New  York  City.  They 
will  be  accompanied  by  the  Duke  Cham- 
ber Orchestra  under  the  direction  of 
Allan  H.  Bone,  assistant  professor  of 
music. 

Du  Pont  Awards 
Fellowship 

Duke  University,  along  with  several 
other  institutions  in  the  country,  has  been 
awarded  a  post-graduate  fellowship  in 
chemistry  by  E.  I.  du  Pont  de  Nemours 
and  Company,  Inc.,  of  Wilmington,  Del. 

Selection  of  candidates  for  fellowships 
and  choice  of  projects  are  left  up  to  the 
universities  receiving  the  awards.  Each 
of  the  post-graduate  fellowships  provides 
$1,400  for  a  single  person  or  $2,100  for 
a  married  person,  together  with  an  award 
of  $1,200  to  the  university  for  the  next 
academic  year. 

Granting  of  the  fellowships  continues 
a  company  plan  to  encourage  graduate 
research  in  chemistry.  It  has  been  ex- 
tended to  take  in  several  other  fields  also. 
The  du  Pont  Company'  has  made  78  post- 
graduate awards  and  post-doctoral  fel- 
lowships to  47  universities,  and  grants- 
in-aid  to  10  universities  to  "stock-pile" 
knowledge  through  the  advancement  of 
fundamental  research.  It  is  expected  that 
the  program  will  help  maintain  the  flow 
of  technically  trained  men  and  women 
into  teaching  and  research  work  at  uni- 
versities and  into  technical  positions  in 
industry.

Unique  Chapel  View 

This  latest  aerial  photograph  featuring 
a  new  angle  of  view  of  the  Gothic  beauty 
which  characterizes  the  Duke  University 
Chapel  has  been  presented  to  the  Uni- 
versity by  Mr.  Wyman  Viall. 

An  aerial  photographer  from  Raleigh, 
N.  C.,"Mr.  Viall  made  the  oil  tinted  print, 
a  20  by  24  inch  mount  in  a  gold  34  by  36 
inch  frame,  which  now  hangs  over  the 
fireplace  in  the  West  Campus  Union 
lobby. 

The  picture  offers  a  different  artistic 
perspective  of  the  qualities  of  height, 
massiveness  and  disposition,  and  empha- 
sizes the  cruciform  plan,  formed  by  the 
transepts  and  nave,  that  is  typical  of 
medieval  European  ecclesiastical  archi- 
tecture. 

Each  new  Chapel  picture  is  in  some 
way  different,  in  some  way  displays  an- 
other aspect  of  the  intricate  grandeur  of 
the  structure. 

Alumni  who  desire  copies  of  the  photo- 
graph may  obtain  information  about  them 
by  writing  to  Mr.  Wyman  Viall,  Aero-

FRIENDS  OF  GOD 

By    Costen    J.    Harrell,    '06,    D.D.    '40. 

Abingdon- Cokesbury  Press. 

Dr.  Harrell,  '06,  D.D.  '40,  bishop  of 
the  Charlotte,  N.  C,  area  of  the  Meth- 
odist Church,  has  published  a  new  edition 
of  his  many  inspirational  observations  in 
Friends  of  God.  The  book,  consisting  of 
43  brief  meditations,  each  followed  by  a 
prayer,  was  brought  out  on  September  5. 

Bishop  Harrell  deplores  the  tendency 
"to  excuse  sin  by  explaining  it."  He 
points  out  that  excuses  do  not  excuse, 
stating:  "Of  late  we  have  become  ex- 
perts in  this  business.  Some  of  our  false 
modern  prophets  are  telling  us  with  an 
air  of  superiority  that  our  behavior  is 
chargeable  to  our  inheritance;  that  we 
are  caught  in  the  stream  of  life  and  are 
no  more  responsible  for  what  we  do  than 
driftwood  on  a  river." 

He  goes  on  to  say,  "Faddists  are  dis- 
posed to  attribute  all  evil  deeds  and  tend- 
encies to  physical  disorders.  But  how 
account  for  the  fact  that  the  physically 
whole  are  sometimes  moral  reprobates? 
Others  excuse  the  wrongdoer  on  the 
ground  of  unfavorable  environment.    And 


yet  profligates  and  criminals  come  out 
of  godly  homes,  as  the  rankest  weeds 
grow  in  the  richest  soil.  Or  perhaps 
weak  sentimentalism  dulls  our  moral 
sense.  We  pity  the  culprit  until  he  be- 
comes a  martyr  in  our  eyes.  We  sen- 
timentalize the  fallen  and  weave  their  sins 
into  a  romance.  But  'all  the  perfumes 
of  Arabia  will  not  sweeten'  the  hand  of 
a  murderer,  nor  all  our  maudlin  tears 
change  a  wrong  into  a  right." 

Dr.  Harrell  also  holds  degrees  from 
Vanderbilt  University  and  Randolph- 
Macon  College,  and  is  a  trustee  at  Emory 
University.  In  more  than  40  years  of 
service  he  has  held  pastorates  in  Vir- 
ginia, Georgia,  and  Tennessee. 

Among  Bishop  Harrell's  other  books 
are  The  Way  of  the  Transgressor,  The 
Radiant  Heart,  The  Prophets  of  Israel, 
In  the  School  of  Prayer,  The  Bible:  Its 
Origin  and  Growth,  and  The  Word  of 
His  Grace. 

FRUITS  OF  FAITH 

Costen    J.    Harrell,    '06,    D.D.    '40,    and 
Mack  B.  Stokes,  B.D.  '35,  contributors. 
Abingdon-Cokesbury   Press. 
Two    Duke    alumni,    Bishop    Costen   J. 

Harrell,    '06,    D.D.    '40,    and    Mack    B. 

Stokes,  B.D.  '35,  are  among  the  authors 

of    an    important    new    book,    Fruits    of 


Faith,  a  comprehensive  symposium  edited 
by  J.  Richard  Spann  and  published  on 
September  5. 

Dr.  Harrell,  bishop  of  the  Charlotte, 
N.  C,  area  of  the  Methodist  Church,  and 
Mr.  Stokes,  professor  of  theology,  Emory 
University,  are  members  of  a  panel  of  18 
outstanding  writers  who  pooled  many 
years'  experience  in  the  fields  of  preach- 
ing, teaching,  counseling,  church  and  col- 
lege administration,  prison  reform,  and 
labor  relations  to  write  a  volume  on  the 
unequaled  impact  of  Christianity  on 
world  culture. 

The  theme  of  the  book  is  well  expressed 
in  the  words  of  John  Frederick  Olson, 
professor  at  Syracuse  University :  "Chris- 
tianity is  a  creed  for  heroes.  .  .  .  Cen- 
turies of  experience  have  only  deepened 
Christian  confidence.  There  have  been 
those  who  were  despairing  and  hopeless — ■ 
as  for  example,  Jerome,  who,  from  the 
security  of  a  Palestinian  monastery, 
watched  the  Roman  Empire  collapse. 
But  more  courageous  souls  have  formed 
our  faith  .  .  .  heroic  realists  ready  in  the 
face  of  apparent  disaster  to  call  for  a 
city  of  God,  raised  on  the  ashes  of  the 
past." 

The  book  is  divided  into  three  sections 
on:  (1)  The  Faith,  (2)  Fruits  in  the 
Individual,  and  (3)  Fruits  in  Society.

THE  UNITED   STATES:  A  SURVEY 
OF  NATIONAL  DEVELOPMENT 

Ecu  aid  Press 

Dr.  Hugh  T.  Lefler,  '21,  A.M.  '22,  is 
co-author  of  a  new  history,  The  United 
States:  A  Survey  of  National  Develop- 
ment, just  published  by  The  Ronald 
Press. 

Dr.  Lefler,  who  for  some  years  headed 
the  Department  of  History  at  North 
Carolina  State  College,  is  professor  of 
History  at  the  University  of  North  Caro- 
lina. 

The  United  States  is  a  textbook  for 
college  courses  in  American  History.  It 
is  characterized  not  only  by  expert  syn- 
thesis and  interpretation,  but  by  an 
abundance  of  detailed  factual  informa- 
tion. It  will  be  useful  on  the  shelves  of 
the  alumnus  as  well  as  in  the  classroom 
of  the  undergraduate. 

A  historian  of  substantial  reputation. 
Dr.  Lefler  has  published  numerous  works 
in  his  field.  They  include  The  Papers  of 
Walter  Clark  and  The  Growth  of  North 
Carolina.  At  present  he  is  engaged  in 
compiling  the  records  of  the  vice-admiral- 
ty court  of  colonial  North  Carolina,  an 
undertaking  commissioned  by  the  Ameri- 
can Historical  Association. 

NINETEEN  MILLION  ELEPHANTS 
AND  OTHER  POEMS 

By  Helen  Smith  Bevington 
Houghton  Mifflin 

Mrs.  Helen  Smith  Bevington,  assistant 
professor  of  English,  has  recently  pub- 
lished a  lighthearted  collection  of  sophis- 
ticated verse.  Gay  and  gracious,  the 
poems  contain  a  kind  of  intellectual  play- 
fulness that  is  usually  light  in  texture 
but  often  deep  and  very  literate. 

She  comments  on  diverse  subjects  rang- 
ing from  witty  reflections  on  eighteenth 
century  literary  figures  to  personal  and 
serious  recollections  of  her  childhood. 
There  are  poems  of  airplane  flights  at 
night,  landscapes,  and  scholars;  there  is 
a  girl  in  a  jeep  and  a  homesick  child  in 
a  railroad  car.  Whether  it  is  the  eccen- 
tricities of  Sam  Johnson,  the  Third  Ave- 
nue "L,"  or  "19  Million  Elephants,"  the 
dextrous  Mrs.  Bevington  handles  all  with 
equal  felicity. 

Mrs.  Bevington,  who  is  the  author  of 
a  previous  book  of  humorous  verse  en- 
titled Dr.  Johnson's  Waterfall  and  Other 
Poems,  has  taught  English  at  Duke  since 
1943. 

SOUTH  AMERICAN  IMPRESSIONS 

By  Dr.  Juan  Castellano 
Appleton-Century-Croft 

Dr.  Juan  Castellano,  associate  profes- 
sor of  Romance   Languages,   has  written 


a  true-to-life  account  of  a  trip  by  jeep 
from  one  end  of  South  America  to  the 
other.  Composed  in  Spanish  especially 
for  the  use  of  intermediate  language  stu- 
dents in  college,  the  narrative  is  mostly  in 
dialogue  form  and  is  both  amusing  and 
informative  in  its  description  of  South 
America. 

The  book  is  a  personal  chronicle  of  Dr. 
Castellano's  adventures  on  a  journey 
taken  in  1947  with  a  friend,  Dr.  George 
N.  Mayhew,  from  Vanderbilt  University. 
Traveling  from  Caracas,  Venezuela,  the 
two  professors  motored  some  8,000  miles 
through  Colombia,  Ecuador,  Peru,  Bo- 
livia, Chile,  and  Argentina.  Their  ex- 
periences ranged  from  misunderstandings 
with  the  Venezuelan  customs  officials  to 
the  problem  of  obtaining  automobile  tires 
in  remote  localities. 

Stressing  idiomatic  Spanish  of  value  to 
students,  the  book  contains  a  vocabulary 
and  exercises  by  Mrs.  Marjorie  Carter 
Dillingham,  a  former  Duke  faculty  mem- 
ber. Tentative  plans  have  been  made  for 
publication  of  a  popularized  English 
translation. 

THE  LIGHTS  OF  HOME 

By  John  Cline,  '17,  A.M.  '40,  Ph.D.  '48 

The  Reverend  John  Cline,  '17,  A.M.  '40, 
Ph.D.  '48,  of  Carthage,  N.  C,  has  pub- 
lished a  book  of  his  own  poetry.  The 
Lights  of  Home  contains  300  poems  on  as 
many  different  subjects. 

The  title  poem  is  indicative  of  the  gen- 
eral contents  of  the  book.  It  deals  with 
the  simple  yet  meaningful  joys  of  home 
as  a  haven  of  rest,  a  pillar  of  strength,  a 
luring  light  to  guide  in  the  darkness,  a 
forecast  of  permanent  happiness  in  a 
future  home.  A  perusal  of  the  table  of 
contents  indicates  the  widespread  inter- 
ests which  are  treated :  Faith  and  Wis- 
dom, Neighborly  Chats,  October  Days, 
Palaces  of  Prayer,  Excuse-Makers,  and 
hundreds  of  others  dealing  with  almost 
every  phase  of  the  manifold  interests  of 
life.' 

The  book  has  the  rather  odd  arrange- 
ment of  publishing  the  poems  as  they 
were  written  chronologically,  rather  than 
by  topics.  Since  the  book  is  to  a  great 
extent  the  expression  of  Dr.  Cline's  reac- 
tions to  life,  it  is  quite  fitting  that  this 
arrangement  should  be  followed  since  it 
shows  the  ripening  wisdom  and  maturing 
reactions  of  the  author. 

JThe  reader  is  able  to  look  through  Dr. 
Cline's  eyes  at  life's  simple,  beautiful  and 
glorious  experiences  and  feel  with  the 
author  the  emotions  which  a  minister  feels 


as  he  enters  into  partnership  with  both 
his  people  and  his  Maker  in  interpreting 
life.  The  book  should  provide  thoroughly 
enjoyable  reading. 

THE  ARMY  AIR  FORCES  IN 
WORLD  WAR  II 

By  Dr.  Richard  L.  Watson 
University  of  Chicago  Press 

Dr.  Richard  L.  Watson,  assistant  pro- 
fessor of  history,  is  a  major  contributor 
to  the  fourth  volume  of  the  projected 
seven- volume  war  history,  The  Army  Air 
Forces  in  World  War  II,  just  released  by 
the  University  of  Chicago  Press.  The 
history  is  a  comprehensive  account  of 
Air  Force  organization,  war  plans,  and 
development  of  new  equipment,  as  well 
as  combat  operations. 

Dr.  Watson,  who  was  a  major  in  the 
Army  Air  Force  Historical  Division  serv- 
ing as  project  director  of  research  on  the 
history  of  the  war  in  the  Southwest 
Pacific  area,  has  written  a  four-chapter 
account  of  the  air  arm's  part  in  the  mid- 
dle phase  of  the  South  and  Southwest 
Pacific  campaigns.  Collaborating  with 
Dr.  Watson  on  one  of  the  chapters  was 
Kramer  J.  Rohfleisch  of  the  history  de- 
partment at  San  Diego  College,  San 
Diego,  Calif. 

Another  Duke  faculty  member,  Dr.  Ar- 
thur B.  Ferguson,  assistant  professor  of 
history,  has  written  several  chapters  on 
strategic  bombing  for  Volumes  I  and  II 
of  the  Air  Force  history.  Dr.  Watson 
also  contributed  extensively  to  the  first 
two  volumes. 

Co-editor  of  the  project  is  Dr.  Wesley 
Frank  Craven,  '26,  A.M.  '27,  professor 
of  history  at  Princeton  University.

weeks  with  a  heart  ailment.  Funeral 
services  were  held  at  the  Clyde  Kelly 
Funeral  Chapel  and  interment  was  in  the 
family  plot  in  new  Maplewood  Cemetery. 

Mrs.  Gholson  was  retired  in  1948  after 
serving  the  city  schools  for  about  30 
years.  She  was  affectionately  known  to 
all  her  students  as  "Ma."  Prior  to  teach- 
ing at  Durham  High  School,  where  she 
was  head  of  the  Social  Science  Depart- 
ment, she  taught  at  Edgemont  School  and 
E.  K.  Powe  School.  Among  her  many 
activities  at  Durham  High  were  coaching 
of  the  debating  teams  and  responsibility 
for  starting  the  Current  Events  Club  for 
boys.  At  the  time  of  her  death  she  was 
a  member  of  the  staff  at  the  Durham 
Public  Library. 

Surviving  are  a  son  and  daughter-in- 
law,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Claude  S.  Gholson,  302 
Milton  Avenue,  Durham.

Sam  V.  Rowe,  '29,  of  2  E.  Peace

November  13  after  a  short  illness. 

Mr.  Rowe  had  been  working  with  the 
Southern  Bell  Telephone  Company  for  17 
years.  He  was  quite  a  baseball  enthusiast, 
being  a  member  of  the  varsity  baseball 
and  basketball  teams  while  at  Duke,  and 
later  playing  on  the  Southern  Bell  soft- 
ball  team  and  on  semi-pro  baseball  teams 
in  West  Virginia  and  Kentucky. 

Survivors  include  the  wife  and  daugh- 
ter, three  brothers  and  four  sisters.

Robert  Cline  Alley,  '33,  former  inves- 
/  tigator  for  the  State  Paroles  Commission 
in  Raleigh,  N.  C,  died  suddenly  Decem- 
ber 16,  at  his  home  in  Richmond,  Va. 

Five  years  ago,  Mr.  Alley  left  his  work 
with  the  State  Paroles  Commission  to  ac- 
cept a  position  as  district  manager  of  the 
National  Security  Insurance  Company  of 
Richmond. 

WILLIAM  ALFRED  BRYAN,  A.M.  '33 

William  Alfred  Bryan,  A.M.  '33,  died 
after  a  heart  attack  in  Sumter,  S.  C,  on 
December  17.  Funeral  services  were  held 
at  St.  Anne's  Catholic  Church  with  in- 
terment in  St.  Lawrence  Cemetery  in 
Sumter. 

Mr.  Bryan  did  his  undergraduate  work 
at  the  College  of  Charleston,  where  he  re- 
ceived the  Alumni  Medal  for  highest 
scholastic  average  in  1927,  and  took  his 
A.M.  in  English  at  Duke  in  1933.  After 
several  years  of  educational  work  in  pub- 
lic schools  and  C.C.C.  units,  he  returned 


to  Duke  in  1940  to  study  for  a  Ph.D.  in 
the  field  of  American  literature.  He 
taught  in  the  Navy  V-12  program  in 
1944-45. 

From  1945  to  1948  Mr.  Bryan  was  as- 
sistant professor  of  English  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Mississippi.  Following  that  he 
accepted  a  teaching  position  at  East  Caro- 
lina  Teachers   College,   Greenville,   N.    C. 

For  the  past  several  months,  he  lived 
in  Durham,  engaged  in  writing  his  doc- 
toral dissertation  on  the  subject  "George 
Washington  in  American  Literature,  1775- 
1865."  He  had  completed  all  work  for 
the  degree  except  the  final  examination, 
which  was  cancelled  due  to  illness. 

Mr.  Bryan  had  published  a  number  of 
articles  connected  with  his  research,  the 
latest  being  "George  Washington,  Sym- 
bolic Guardian  of  the  Republic,  1850- 
1860,"  which  appeared  in  the  January, 
1950,  issue  of  the  William  and  Mary 
Quarterly. 

He  is  survived  by  his  wife,  Enid  Parker 
Bryan,  A.M.  '33,  406  E.  8th  Street, 
Greenville,  N.  C. ;  his  mother,  Mrs.  C.  M. 
Bryan,  Sumter;  five  brothers,  and  three 
sisters. 

JESSE  LEE  CUNINGGIM,  D.D.  '36 

Dr.  Jesse  Lee  Cuninggim,  D.D.  '36, 
president  emeritus  of  Scarritt  College, 
died  at  his  home  in  Nashville,  Tenn.,  on 
November  25.  Funeral  services  were  held 
in  Nashville. 

Before  completing  his  course  at  the 
University  of  North  Carolina,  Dr.  Cun- 
inggim determined  to  enter  the  ministry 
of  the  Methodist  Church,  and  studied  at 
the  Vanderbilt  School  of  Theology.  Ob- 
taining his  degree  there,  he  returned  to 
North  Carolina  to  begin  active  preaching. 
He  spent  a  summer  in  graduate  work  at 
the  University  of  Chicago,  and  this  ex- 
tended into  a  four-year  course  at  that 
institution. 

While  at  the  University  of  Chicago, 
Dr.  Cuninggim  wrote  a  pamphlet  on  bet- 
ter training  for  ministers  through  cor- 
respondence courses  and  other  university 
extension  methods.  This  so  impressed 
Southern  Methodists  that  it  was  decided 
to  put  his  ideas  into  practice  at  Vander- 
bilt, and  he  was  made  head  of  the  new 
work.  Thus  he  inaugurated  one  of  the 
first  departments  of  religious  education 
in  the  South.  He  remained  in  charge  of 
this  work  until  1914,  when  he  returned  to 
North  Carolina  to  preach.  He  later  went 
to  Southern  Methodist  University  in  Dal- 
las, Tex.,  to  inaugurate  another  religious 
education  department  there. 

After  a  few  years  there,  Dr.  Cuninggim 
was  made  head  of  Scarritt  College,  and  he 


continued  as  president  until  his  retirement 
in  1943. 

In  addition  to  his  book  The  Family  of 
God,  Dr.  Cuninggim  was  the  author  of 
other  books  of  a  religious  nature. 

He  is  survived  by  his  widow;  a  daugh- 
ter, Margaret  Louise  Cuninggim,  '36, 
dean  of  women  at  Tennessee  Polytechnic 
Institute;  a  son,  Dr.  A.  Merrimon  Cun- 
inggim, A.M.  '33,  chairman  of  the  de- 
partment of  religion  at  Pomona  College; 
and  three  grandchildren. 

P.  H.  GRICE,  B.D.  '39 

News  has  recently  been  received  in  the 
Alumni  Office  that  P.  H.  Grice,  B.D.  '39, 
is  deceased. 

MURRAY  S.  MAYER,  '43 

Murray  S.  Mayer,  '43,  died  on  Septem- 
ber 30,  1950.  He  is  survived  by  his  par- 
ents who  live  at  Pompei  Del  Lago,  Chi- 
waukee,  Wis.,  P.  0.  Winthrop  Harbor, 
111. 

RANDOLPH  G.  ADAMS 

Randolph  G.  Adams,  who  died  January 
4  in  Ann  Arbor,  Mich.,  is  vividly  remem- 
bered by  a  number  of  the  alumni  and 
faculty  of  Duke  University.  He  taught 
history  at  Trinity  College  from  1920  to 
1923,  leaving  to  become  director  of  the 
William  L.  Clements  Library  of  Ameri- 
can History  at  the  University  of  Michi- 
gan. 

In  the  short  time  he  was  at  Duke,  Dr. 
Adams  made  substantial  contributions  to 
the  intellectual  growth  of  the  college.  He 
and  the  late  William  K.  Boyd,  one  of 
Duke's  greatest  library  collectors,  worked 
together  with  an  enthusiasm  which  alone 
could  have  built  up  the  remarkable  library 
of  manuscripts  and  newspapers.  It  was  at 
Dr.  Adams'  instigation  that  the  faculty 
instituted  a  student  fee  for  the  purpose  of 
buying  books  for  the  library.  The  Li- 
brary of  Trinity  College  was  thus  in- 
sured of  a  steady  income  which  was  one 
of  the  factors  enabling  it  to  make  the 
transition  to  a  University  Library  on  sure 
foundations. 

The  first  book  published  by  the  Duke 
University  Press  was  The  Political  Ideas 
of  the  American  Revolution,  written  by 
Dr.  Adams.  He  was  also  president  of  the 
Trinity  College  Historical  Society  in  1921 
and  1922.  He  recast  History  91,  the  basic 
course  in  American  History,  into  the  form 
in  which  it  still  exists — a  form  which 
rescued  it  from  the  dullness  of  the  con- 
ventional textbook  course  in  American 
History.  Thus  there  are  living  monu- 
ments to  Dr.  Adams  remaining,  for  which 
the  University  is  indeed  grateful.

Campus  Interviews  on  Cigarette  Tests

THE  PANDA 


"■*  re 


Let's  get 
down  to 
bear  facts!" 


J.  he  sudden  rash  of  quick-trick  cigarette 
tests  may  have  caused  panda-monium 
on  the  campus— but  our  scholarly  friend  was 
unperturbed.  He  pondered  the  facts  of  the 
case  and  decided  that  one-puff  or  one-sniff  tests 


. . .  single  inhale  and  exhale  comparisons  are 
hardly  conclusive.  Proof  of  cigarette  mildness  doesn't  come 
that  fast !  And  that's  exactly  why  we  suggest .  .  . 
THE  SENSIBLE  TEST-the  30-Day  Camel  Mildness  Test 
which  simply  asks  you  to  try  Camels  as  your  steady  smoke— on 
a  pack  after  pack,  day  after  day  basis.  No  snap  judgments 
needed.  After  you've  enjoyed  Camels  — and  only  Camels— 
for  30  days  in  your  "T-Zone"  (T  for  Throat,  T  for  Taste) , 
we  believe  you'll  know  why  . . . 

More  People  Smoke  Camels 

than  any  other  cigarette!

I  wish  to  express  my  heart-felt  appreciation  for  your  timely  Christmas 
Greetings  card  that  reached  me  here  at  Miho  Air  Base,  Honshu,  Japan, 
shortly  before  December  25. 

It  is  truly  a  pleasure  to  be  able  to  keep  in  touch  with  former  class- 
mates through  the  medium  of  the  Alumni  Register,  and  I  always  antici- 
pate its  coming  with  avid  delight.  Since  my  arrival  in  the  Far  East,  I 
have  been  especially  appreciative  of  its  offerings. 

Inasmuch  as  my  father  is  an  alumnus  of  old  Trinity  College,  '92 ;  my 
brother,  Dr.  James  S.  Bradsher,  Jr.,  a  graduate  of  "the  Buffalo  Class"  of 
1917 ;  and  I  a  short -timer  with  the  class  of  '33,  I  feel  very  near  to  Duke 
University.     I  shall  always  love  it  and  what  it  represents. 

I  am  currently  serving  in  a  small  capacity  with  the  now  renowned 
452nd  Bomb  Wing.  Ours  is  a  largely  reservist  component,  whose  per- 
sonnel are  ninety-five  per  cent  Los  Angeles  County  Californians.  We 
have  a  splendid  organization  and  I  am  happy  to  contribute  my  small  part 
to  its  laudable  successes  in  the  see-saw  Korean  campaign.  Our  continued 
stay  in  Japan  will  be  determined  by  the  turn  of  events  in  our  struggle 
with  Red  China  and  the  North  Koreans.

May  I  thank  you  for  your  letter  of  the  28th  of  November,  the  basket- 
ball schedule,  and  the  copies  of  the  Alumni  Register  which  have  finally 
arrived.  Duke  is  to  be  congratulated  for  the  latter — it  is  certainly  one 
of  the  finest  alumni  publications  that  I  have  yet  seen,  and  it  serves  its 
purpose  well  if  it  is  intended  to  keep  the  University  before  the  eyes  of 
the  graduate  in  such  a  manner  as  to  make  him  feel  he  is  still  a  part  of  it 
and  it  a  part  of  him.

Just  Rambling 


The  new  year  has  begun  with  as  fast  a  tempo  as  has 
ever  been  experienced  on  the  Duke  Campus.  Every 
member  of  the  administration,  faculty,  and  University 
community  is  conscious  of  the  important  place  the  De- 
velopment Campaign  is  to  play  in  Duke's  future. 

The  greatest  problem  is  the  lack  of  hours  and  days  in  a 
week.  However,  it  gives  one  a  mighty  good  feeling  to  see 
how  alumni,  faculty,  and  students,  of  the  University  are 
joining  to  make  the  program  a  success. 


William  D.  (Bill)  Murray,  '31,  has  been  elected  head 
football  coach  and  he,  along  with  the  other  members  of  his 
staff,  is  in  the  midst  of  spring  practice.  .  All  of  us  here  on 
the  campus  welcome  Bill  home  and  anticipate  an  outstand- 
ing football  program  under  his  direction  as  head  coach. 
Wherever  you  go  among  the  alumni  these  days  you  hear 
high  praise  that  an  alumnus  has  been  elected  to  direct  the 
destinies  of  football  at  Duke.  To  those  of  you  who  do  not 
know  Bill,  you  are  in  for  a  treat  when  you  meet  him.  A 
man  of  high  integrity,  hard  working  and  careful  of  de- 
tail, he  recognizes  the  value  of  the  fundamentals  in  any 
field  and  applies  them  in  football.  Once  again,  welcome 
home,  Bill.  Your  fellow  alumni  wish  you  every  success. 
You  can  count  on  them  for  the  fullest  cooperation. 


Alumnae  Week  End  is  to  be  April  6,  7,  and  8.  This 
activity,  under  the  direction  of  Miss  Anne  Garrard,  gives 
promise  of  being  the  best  ever  held.  Alumnae  committees 
are  busy  making  plans. 


The  campus  is   already  beginning  to   show  signs  of 


Spring. 


Faculty  members  are  being  called  to  serve  in  an  ad- 
visory capacity  to  the  government,  and  honors  are  coming 
to  many  of  them  for  work  in  this  connection: 


Again  we  find  ourselves  having  difficulty  keeping  up 
with  alumni  in  the  military  services.  If  you  know  of  a 
Duke  alumnus  any  place  in  any  branch  of  the  service, 
please  send  us  information  about  him. 


Commencement  is  just  around  the  corner.  Officers  of 
reunion  classes  have  already  appointed  committees  and  are 
busy  with  preparations  for  the  June  reunion. 


Local  alumni  groups  are  holding  Spring  meetings, 
many  of  which  will  be  picnics  or  other  outdoor  affairs. 
Announcements  about  them  will  appear  from  time  to  time 


in  subsequent  issues  of  the  Register.  In  the  event  you  are 
planning  a  trip,  we  would  suggest  your  reading  the 
Register  before  leaving  home,  so  that  if  you  are  in  the 
vicinity  of  one  of  these  meetings,  vou  may  attend. 


The  number  of  alumni  stopping  by  the  Alumni  Office 
is  increasing  as  the  weather  gets  warmer.  Visitors  on  the 
campus  are  always  welcomed. 


We  are  grateful  for  the  newspaper  clippings,  photo- 
graphs, changes  of  address,  and  other  items  that  come  to 
the  Alumni  Office  from  all  over  the  country.  Keep  up 
the  good  work.  This  helps  us  do  a  better  job  and  give 
better  service  to  the  alumni  and  the  University. 


Every  so  often  we  run  across  something  that  we  feel 
deserves  to  be  called  to  the  attention  of  the  alumni.  On 
the  editorial  page  of  the  February  3  Saturday  Evening 
Post  is  a  letter  from  a  father  to  his  son.  We  recommend 
it  to  young  and  old  alike. 


In  the  alumni  section  (see  page  38)  of  the  Register 
this  month  is  a  letter  written  by  an  alumna  to  her  news- 
paper editor  in  Cleveland,  Ohio,  in  appreciation  of  an 
editorial  which  appeared  in  the  Cleveland  News.  The 
editorial  follows: 

"Duke  University  at  Durham,  N.  C,  has  gone  out  for 
a  distinction  for  which  few  American  colleges  can  com- 
pete. It  has  developed  a  carillon  tower  for  the  daily  in- 
spiration of  its  community  by  medieval  bell  tone,  and  for 
summons  and  celebration  on  great  or  festive  occasions. 

' '  The  Duke  carillon  has  been  equipped  with  both  man- 
ual and  electric  keyboard  and,  through  the  skill  of  its 
bellmaster,  Anton  Brees,  brought  from  Belgium  to  develop 
the  chimes  and  their  music,  has  set  out  to  rival  the  chimes 
of  the  famous  Bok  Tower  at  Lake  Wales,  Fla. 

' '  With  Mr.  Brees  at  the  console,  the  Duke  carillon  rang 
out  for  the  invasion  of  Normandy,  the  rescue  of  Paris,  the 
victorious  end  of  the  second  World  War,  and  various 
national  anniversaries.  He  calls  the  tone  of  the  bells  'a 
powerful  spiritual  voice  from  the  sky'  and  believes  Duke 
may  partly  revive  the  authenticity  of  chime  signals  over 
the  living  of  people,  as  in  Europe  of  the  Middle  Ages. 
It  is  a  nice  ambition." 

We  feel  that  this  young  lady  did  a  service  for  Duke 
and  her  fellow  alumni  by  writing  her  appreciation  to  the 
editor. 

Let's  look  around  us  and  take  advantage  of  the  op- 
portunities to  serve  the  University.  They  may  be  found 
in  many  places  and  clothed  in  many  different  ways.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  February,  1951 


Alumnae  Week  End  —  Engineers  Show 
Development  Campaign  on  Campus 


Activities  of  Note  on  the  Campus 


Alumnae  Week  End 

Breaking  with  a  precedent  of  several 
years'  standing  Alumnae  Week  End  this 
year  will  not  take  place  during  spring 
vacation,  but  will  be  held  while  students 
are  on  campus  and  engaged  in  their 
academic  and  extracurricular  routines. 

This  change  occurs  at  the  request  of 
many  alumnae,  who  have  expressed  a  de- 
sire to  return  to  East  Campus  when  the 
normal  hustle,  bustle,  and  rustle  of  the 
school  year  is  in  progress.  This  will 
afford  an  enjoyable  opportunity  to  re- 
capture, in  all  of  its  happy  detail,  the 
atmosphere  of  undergraduate  life,  these 
alumnae  feel. 

Dates  of  the  annual  event,  the  calen- 
dar's high  spot  for  former  women  stu- 
dents, are  Friday,  Saturday,  and  Sun- 
day— April  6,  7,  and  8. 

Earlier  it  was  announced  that  a  main 
speaker  would  be  Dr.  Gloria  Wysner,  con- 
sultant to  the  International  Missionary 
Council  in  Association  with  the  World 
Council  of  Churches.  Regrettably,  Dr. 
Wysner  has  been  called  out  of  the  country 
during  March,  April,  and  May  and  had 
to  cancel  her  scheduled  appearance  at 
Duke. 

Other  speakers,  however,  including  at 
least  one  outstanding  woman,  will  be  an- 
nounced soon. 

The  program  for  the  Eighth  Annual 
Alumnae  Week  End  is  as  follows : 

Friday,  April  6 

6  :30  p.m. — Dinner  in  Woman's  College 
Union,  cafeteria  style  with  students. 

8 :15  p.m. — Lecture  in  Woman's  Col- 
lege Auditorium,  speaker  to  be  announced. 

9:30  p.m. — Coffee  hour  in  East  Duke 
Building — one  of  two  to  give  alumnae  a 
chance  for  informal  visits  and  relaxation. 

Saturday,  April  7 

Most  of  the  morning  will  be  devoted  to 
tours  of  the  campus,  with  alumnae  and 
students  on  hand  to  conduct  tours  and 
answer  questions. 

11 :30  a.m. — Lecture  by  Dr.  Marianna 
Jenkins,  associate  dean  of  undergraduate 
instruction  and  assistant  professor  of  art, 
on  "Are  Modern  'Isms'  Modern?" 

1 :00  p.m. — Luncheon  and  Alumnae 
Association  meeting. 

4:00-5:30  p.m. — Tea  honoring  senior 
classes   of   Woman's   College   and   School 


of  Nursing. 

6:30  p.m. — Dinner  in  West  Campus 
Union. 

8  :00  p.m. — Entertainment  in  Woman's 
College  Auditorium,  including  modern 
dance,  brass  ensemble,  and  Madrigal  Sing- 
ers. 

9 :30  p.m. — Coffee  hour  in  Woman's 
College  Union. 

Sunday,  April  8 

11 :00  a.m. — Worship  service,  Duke 
Chapel,  Dr.  Ray  C.  Petry,  professor  of 
church  history,  preaching. 

4 :00  p.m. — Organ  recital  in  Duke 
Chapel  by  Samuel  Tilghman  Morris,  head 
of  organ  department,  Hollins  College. 

Programs  and  registration  blanks  will 
be  mailed  to  all  alumnae  in  the  very  near 
future. 

Engineers  Show 

The  19th  annual  Engineers  Show,  the 
third  held  in  the  new  College  of  Engi- 
neering Building,  is  scheduled  for  Friday 
and   Saturday,   March  16  and  17. 

Duke's  engineers  are  accustomed  to  at- 
tracting large,  even  huge,  crowds  to  these 
events,  at  which  they  put  their  building, 
their  equipment,  their  knowledge,  their 
professors,  and  even  themselves  on  dis- 
play. 

These  shows  customarily  include  many 
wonders  of  engineering  science,  which 
range  from  demonstrations  of  nonsinu- 
soidal  waves  and  polyphase  circuits  to 
toy  electric  trains.  There  are  attractions 
for  the  most  sophisticated  graduate  of 
M.I.T.  and  also  items  of  interest  for  bug- 
eyed  tots  still  in  kindergarten. 

The  three  departments  of  the  College  of 
Engineering  will  each  present  separate 
displays  and  each  will  have  a  central 
attraction.  The  mechanical  engineers  will 
assemble  and  put  into  operation  a  com- 
plete electrical  power  plant.  Electrical 
engineers  plan  new  and  more  awesome 
demonstrations  of  a  million-volt  bolt  of 
lightning.  Civil  engineers  will  display 
the  photoelasticity  method  of  determining 
stress  and  strain  on  structural  materials. 

In  addition  to  these  major  presentations 
there  will  be  hundreds  of  other  exhibitions 
of  new  and  old  wonders  of  technology. 

A  note  of  major  interest  to  veterans  of 
these  shows,  and  also  to  those  coming  for 
the  first  time,  is  the  fact  that  a  concession 


stand  will  be  set  up  this  year  right  in 
the  Engineering  Building,  thus  making 
the  long  hike  to  the  "Dope  Shop"  for 
refreshments   unnecessary. 

The  engineers  are  extending  a  special 
invitation  to  alumni  this  year.  This  show, 
perhaps  more  than  any  single  event  of 
the  year,  demonstrates  the  activities,  prog- 
ress, and  ability  of  Duke's  students. 
Alumni  are  urged  to  take  advantage  of 
the  opportunity. 

In  addition  to  finding  amusement  and 
instruction  at  the  Engineers  Show,  visi- 
tors will  discover  that  the  hospitality  of 
Duke's  engineers  in  their  still-new  home 
is,  in  itself,  worthy  of  considerable  note. 

Faculty-Staff  Campaign 

Members  of  the  University's  faculties 
and  staffs,  in  an  amazingly  short  time, 
have  given  through  their  own  private 
campaign  more  than  $85,000  for  the  De- 
velopment Program. 

This  amount,  which  is  according  to  a 
tabulation  taken  in  mid-February,  comes 
from  approximately  450  members  of  the 
University  community.  There  are  about 
700  who  are  included  in  the  campaign, 
and  at  the  present  rate,  it  appears  that 
there  will  be  nearly  100  per  cent  partici- 
pation before  the  drive  is  ended. 

The  campus  campaign  was  undertaken 
a  short  time  ago  at  the  instigation  of 
several  faculty  and  staff  members.  Chosen 
to  head  the  campaign  was  Dr.  Frank  T. 
De  Vyver,  professor  of  economics,  and  he 
organized  a  committee  of  12  to  sponsor 
the  drive. 

No  one  is  in  a  better  position  to  recog- 
nize Duke's  major  needs  during  these 
current  and  difficult  times  than  is  the 
faculty.  No  one  can  perceive  the  vista 
of  the  future  and  the  demands  that  will 
be  made  upon  Duke  to  a  more  accurate 
extent.  Therefore,  it  is  felt,  the  whole- 
hearted support  of  the  campus  is  the 
strongest  possible  indication  of  the  great- 
ness of  the  objectives  of  the  campaign  for 
funds  now  underway. 

President  Edens  said  recently  that  this 
"voluntary  and  almost  spontaneous  re- 
action by  the  University's  men  and  women 
on  behalf  of  our  Development  Campaign 
is  one  of  the  most  inspiring  demonstra- 
tions of  loyalty  and  confidence  in  Duke's 
future   that   we   have   seen."

National  Campaign  Begins 

The  national  campaign  for  the  Duke 
University  Development  Program  has  be- 
gun. 

On  Tuesday,  Feb.  6,  campaigners  in 
Mecklenburg  County,  which  includes 
Charlotte,  N.  C,  met  to  kick  off  their  drive 
in  the  county,  and  this  occasion  signalled 
the  beginning  of  an  all-out  effort  to  com- 
plete the  1950-51  goal  of  $8,650,000  by 
June  30. 

Addressing  the  Charlotte  meeting  was 
Dr.  Paul  A.  Gross,  University  vice  presi- 
dent and  one  of  the  nation's  leading  sci- 
entists. 

Political  changes  within  and  communist 
threats  without  may  threaten  our  nation, 
Dr.  Gross  said,  but  universities  like  Duke 
"will  stay  with  you  and  serve  you  and  the 
cause  of  free  civilization  come  what  may." 

"This  nation,"  he  declared,  "will  survive 
as  long  as  educational  institutions  are  free 
to  produce  men  who  will  think  and  act 
for  themselves.  We  are  challenged  to 
support  privately  endowed  higher  educa- 
tion, because  its  survival  involves  the  very 
survival  of  our  nation." 

Key  Counties 

The  Mecklenburg  County  campaign  be- 
gan with  an  announcement  that  advance 
gifts  there  total  $205,000.  This  was  an 
auspicius  beginning  for  not  only  the  local 
drive,  but  for  the  national  campaign  as 
well.  Chairman  in  Mecklenburg  is  George 
M.  Ivey,  '20,  and  heading  the  general  can- 
vass is  R.  Z.  Thomas,  Jr.,  '36.

DURHAM  CAMPAIGN  LEADERS-Going  over  the  latest  returns 
from  the  City  of  Durham  Campaign  for  a  "greater  Duke"  are  left  to  right, 
George  Watts  Hill,  chairman ;  Mrs.  R.  H.  Wright,  campaigner ;  Donnie  Sor- 
rell,  member  of  the  executive  committee ;  and  Claude  M.  May,  vice  chairman. 
The  Durham  total  now  approaches  $240,000  and  is  still  climbing.  The  goal 
is  $250,000.  A  recent  editorial  in  the  Durham  Sun  pointed  out  that  Durham 
business  firms  and  individuals  have  raised  more  money  for  Duke  through 
the  Development  Campaign  than  for  any  other  single  cause  in  the  history  of 
the  citv. 


Duke  Receives  Bequest 

Duke  University  has  been  generously 
recognized  in  the  will  of  the  late  Wil- 
liam Brown  Bell,  trustee  of  the  Duke 
Endowment  and  president  of  the 
American  Cyaniroid  Company. 

One-twelfth  of  a  $600,000  trust  fund 
was  left  to  the  University,  which  will 
ultimately  receive  half  of  a  fund  com- 
prising the  bulk  of  the  estate,  set  up  as 
a  lifetime  benefit  for  Mr.  Bell's  daugh- 
ter, Mrs.  Helen  Griscom  Hole  of  Rich- 
mond, Ind. 

Mr.  Bell  died  December  20  at  the 
age  of  71  while  on  a  business  and 
pleasure  trip  with  his  wife  in  French 
Morocco. 

He  took  over  the  leadership  of 
American  Cyanimid  in  1922,  when  its 
chief  product  was  fertilizers.  Under 
his  leadership  the  firm  developed  into 
an  organization  that  now  makes  5,000 
products  for  200  industries. 


Carolina)  campaign  to  begin.  The  third 
started  just  a  few  days  later,  on  Friday, 
Feb.  16,  when  campaigners  in  the  Greens- 
boro area  of  Guilford  County  were  called 
together  for  a  kick-off  meeting  by  Floyd 
C.  Caveness,  '18,  Greensboro  canvass 
chairman.  Approximately  60  workers  met 
to  hear  an  address  by  President  Edens. 
General  chairman  in  Guilford  County  is 
Kenneth  M.  Brim,  '20,  and  heading  the 
campaign  in  the  High  Point  area  is 
Charles  L.  Kearns,  '32. 

The  first  key  county  campaign  was 
opened  in  Forsyth  County,  which  includes 
Winston-Salem,  before  the  end  of  last 
year,  and  will  soon  be  completed,  accord- 
ing to  Chairman  P.  Huber  Hanes,  Jr., 
'38,  and  Co-chairman  Tom  J.  Southgate, 
Jr. 

Fourth  and  fifth  key  county  cam- 
paigns will  soon  be  launched  in  Durham 
and  Wake  Counties.  Chairman  in  Dur- 
ham is  Sterling  Nicholson,  '22,  and  chair- 
man in  Wake  County  is  N.  E.  Edgerton, 
'21. 


Other  New  Chairmen 

Other  Duke  men  recently  accepting  ap- 
pointments as  campaign  chairmen  include 
Richard  D.  MeAninch,  '35,  of  Bedford, 
Ohio,  in  the  Northeastern  Ohio  area; 
W.  Mason  Shehan,  '37,  of  Easton,  Md., 
in  the  Eastern  Maryland  area ;  Albert  T. 
Kemp,  '42,  of  Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  in  the 
Syracuse  area;  and  Robert  G.  Lamb,  '39, 
of  Rochester,  N.  T.,  in  the  Rochester  area. 

Meanwhile  individual  campaigners  have 
received  supplies  and  instructions  and  are 
now  at  work  in  more  than  15  states  and 
at  least  one  foreign  country.  The  list 
grows  daily,  as  more  alumni  join  the 
effort  to  build  Duke  for  a  future  of  in- 
creased  service   and   achievement. 

Preparations  are  also  being  made  to 
launch  campaigns  in  several  of  the  na- 
tion's largest  cities  in  the  very  near 
future.  These  include  among  others, 
New  York,  Pittsburgh,  Baltimore,  Wash- 
ington, Philadelphia,  Cleveland,  and  De- 
troit.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  February,  1951 


Camera  Invades  Monastic  Treasure  Troves 

Duke's  Dr.  Clark  Has  Returned  from  Holy  Land  Adventure 


A  narrow,  sun-baked  caravan  track 
winds  and  twists  through  rugged,  tumbled 
granite  mountains,  which  soar  nakedly 
and  chaotically  above  a  desolate  and  bar- 
ren plateau.  It  is  a  desert  broken  only  by 
endless  small  valleys  and  a  very  few  shal- 
low streams  which  water  occasional  oases 
of  date  palms  and  olive  trees. 

This  is  an  ancient  land,  isolated  and 
barren,  yet  a  land  of  majestic  beauty,  of 
fantastic  color  and  design,  of  crystal  clear 
atmosphere,  deep  shadows,  and  dazzling 
sunlight  that  bathes  the  mountains  in 
golden  hues.  It  is  the  land  of  Mt.  Sinai, 
the  land  "where  God  spake  with  Moses," 
where  "the  glory  of  the  Lord  rested  in  the 
sight  of  all  the  people." 

Into  this  strange  and  fabulous  place 
came  Dr.  Kenneth  W.  Clark,  professor 
of  New  Testament  and  leading  New  Testa- 
ment scholar,  to  direct  the  world's  most 
unusual  picture-taking  project. 

Convent  of  St.  Catherine 

The  modern  mountain-climbing  vehicles 
of  the  Mt.  Sinai  expedition  moved  up- 
wards over  a  sand  track  toward  a  monu- 
ment, 7,500  feet  high,  where  Moses  is 
said  to  have  received  the  Ten  Command- 
ments, and  toward  the  old,  massive  and 
fortress-like  walls  of  the  ancient  Convent 
of  St.  Catherine,  inhabited  by  a  handful 
of  venerable  monks. 

The  vehicles — a  pick-up  truck,  cargo 
truck  and  mobile  photographic  unit — were 
equipped  with  broad  "sand  tires,"  four- 
wheel  drive,  and  special  transmissions 
which  gave  twelve  forward  speeds.  But 
over  this  uneven  trail  it  was  difficult  to 
average  ten  miles  an  hour.  Sheer  rock 
walls  echoed  back  the  roar  of  engines 
where  previously  only  the  grunts  of  cam- 
els resounded.  When  the  trucks  finally 
ground  to  a  halt,  they  were  standing  under 
the  walls  of  St.  Catherine's  Monastery, 
more  than  5,000  feet  above  sea  level. 

As  Dr.  Clark  stepped  out  of  his  car, 
a  crowd  of  ragged  native  children  gath- 
ered open-mouthed  around  the  vehicles, 
and  black-bearded  monks  in  skull  caps 
and  robes  stared  in  fascination  at  the 
complex,  ultra-modern  equipment  which 
had  invaded  their  isolated  sanctuary. 

Thus  was  begun  the  recently  completed 
expedition  to  microfilm  most  of  an  esti- 
mated 2,000,000  pages  of  old  Biblical  man- 
uscripts contained  in  the  monastery  li- 
brary, one  of  the  world's  largest  collec- 
tions of  ancient  religious  lore. 

The  project,  from  which  Dr.  Clark  has 


recently  returned  to  Duke,  came  about 
this  way :  Though  the  Biblical  lands  are 
filled  with  ancient  writings  and  rare  books, 
most  of  the  works  are  inaccessible  because 
of  the  isolation  of  the-  monasteries  that 
guard  them.  Located  in  untraveled  areas 
and  in  monastic  seclusion,  they  can  only 
be  reached  after  long,  difficult,  and  ex- 
pensive journeys,  and  even  then,  permis- 
sion to  use  the  libraries  is  hard  to  obtain. 
It  is  not  difficult  to  understand  that  cus- 
todians regard  their  aged  tomes  as  rare 
treasures,  and  guard  them  zealously. 
Only  a  large-scale  expedition  can  make  a 
studv  of  these  church  treasures  success- 
fully. 

The  Expedition's  Purposes 

A  little  over  a  year  ago,  Library  of 
Congress  officials,  working  with  the  Amer- 
ican Foundation  for  the  Study  of  Man, 
decided  to  sponsor  an  expedition  to  the 
treasure-trove  of  valuable  manuscripts,  St. 
Catherine's  Monastery,  and  planned  also 
for  a  stop-over  in  Jerusalem  at  the  valu- 
able Patriarchial  libraries  there.  This 
time,  however,  instead  of  merely  studying 


the  material,  they  would  photograph  the 
books,  page  by  page,  on  microfilm. 

Duke's  Dr.  Clark,  then  serving  as  an- 
nual professor  at  the  American  School  of 
Oriental  Research  at  Jerusalem,  was 
loaned  to  the  expedition  as  editor-in-chief. 
To  him  fell  the  tremendous  task  of  exam- 
ining, analyzing,  and  evaluating  some 
33,000  writings  and  deciding  which  ones 
should  '  be  photographed.  Especially  in- 
terested in  this  work  was  an  international 
commission,  of  which  Dr.  Clark  is  a  mem- 
ber, engaged  in  preparing  a  new  critical 
apparatus  for  the  Greek  New  Testament. 
Members  of  the  staff  of  Farouk  Univer- 
sity, Alexandria,  collaborated  with  the  ex- 
pedition ;  and  William  Terry  of  Cali- 
fornia, vice-president  of  the  American 
Foundation,  was  appointed  field  director. 

The  background  of  the  fascinating  task 
goes  back  to  220  A.D.  when  Christians 
fleeing  from  Roman  persecution  estab- 
lished themselves  in  this  lonely  and  deso- 
late land.  Even  then  they  were  not  safe; 
massacres  by  neighboring  tribes  were  fre- 
quent occurrences  and  the  monks  peti- 
tioned    the    protection     of     St.     Helena, 


The  assistant  prior  of  the  monastery  tells  Dr.  Clark  the  story  of  the  "burn- 
ing bush"  and  the  rod  of  Moses,  which,  according  to  legend,  are  still  live  and 
flourishing  plants  today,  and  are  enclosed  by  the  wooden  fence  in  the  back- 
ground.

mother  of  Constantine.  She  ordered  a  for- 
tress built  around  their  small  church,  and 
the  fortified  monastery  was  born.  It  was 
dedicated  to  the  Transfiguration,  but  later, 
after  relics  of  St.  Catherine  were  dis- 
covered on  the  peak  of  the  highest  moun- 
tain in  Sinai  (carried  there,  according  to 
legend,  by  a  huge  bird)  and  brought  to 
the  monastery,  it  became  known  as  St. 
Catherine's.  An  increase  in  the  number 
of  monks  and  pilgrims  necessitated  the 
present  larger  structure,  the  foundation 
of  which  was  laid  in  542  A.D. 

Xo  one  knows  just  when  the  library  was 
begun;  fragmentary  works  dating  back 
to  the  fifth  century  have  been  catalogued. 
About  three-quarters  of  the  manuscripts 
of  interest  to  the  expedition  are  in  Greek. 
The  remainder  are  in  a  number  of  other 
languages,  including  Arabic,  Syriac, 
Georgian,  Slavonic,  and  Ethiopic. 

Dr.  Clark  feels  that  the  greatest 
achievement  of  the  trip  was  the  gaining 
of  permission  to  photograph  such  valuable 
manuscripts  as  the  famous  Codex  Aureus, 
which  contians  illuminated  portraits  of 
the  Apostles  and  other  sacred  personages. 
The  volume  is  encased  in  gold  foil,  and  is 
attributed  to  the  Emperor  Theodosius,  the 
colophon  giving  the  date  and  scribe's 
name  in  abbreviated  uncial  characters. 

Besides  the  rehgious  manuscripts.  Dr. 
Clark  and  his  assistants  microfilmed  docu- 
ments on  philosophy,  history,  art,  music, 
medicine,  and  other  subjects.  Also  photo- 
graphed were  about  1,700  "firmans,"  the 
original  edicts  and  privileges  granted  the 
monastery  by  the  prophet  Mohammed 
himself,  1,400  years  ago,  and  by  other 
great  Moslems. 

Photographed  on  larger  film  were  some 
2,500  miniatures  and  colored  illustrations 
from  the  manuscripts.  Special  requests 
for  various  numbers  of  these  profusely 
illustrated  woi'ks  were  received  from 
many  institutions.  Princeton  University 
alone  requested  that  some  500  be  photo- 
graphed. 

Difficulties  Are  Overcome 

The  members  of  the  expedition  were 
aware  of  the  need  for  haste.  The  Holy 
Land,  and  the  rest  of  the  world,  is  un- 
settled, and  opportunities  for  such  proj- 
ects are  rare.  This  trip  would  probably  be 
the  only  one  of  its  kind,  perhaps,  for  gen- 
erations, and  they  were  not  counting  on 
coming  back.  From  10,000  to  15,000 
pages  a  day  were  submitted  to  rapidly 
clicking  shutters  and  the  blinding  light 
of  photo-flood  lamps.  Decisions  on  what 
manuscripts  were  to  be  photographed, 
their  relative  importance,  ages,  authors, 
and  so  forth,  had  to  be  made  quickly  and

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  February,  1951 


Activities  and  Meetings 


Some  Newsworthy  Items 


Dr.  Blanch  ard  Retires 

Dr.  Julian  Blanchard,  '05,  has  retired 
from  Bell  Telephone  Laboratories  after 
33  years  of  service  with  them. 

Dr.  Blanchard  joined  the  Laboratories 
during  World  War  I  to  work  with  the 
electronics  group  on  the  development  and 
production  of  vacuum  tubes,  after  he  re- 
ceived his  doctorate  of  philosophy  from 
Columbia,  and  taught  at  Columbia  and 
Duke,  where  he  was  professor  of  engi- 
neering from  1909  to  1912. 

In  1930,  Dr.  Blanchard  became  a  staff 
assistant  in  the  department  of  radio  re- 
search at  Bell  Laboratories.  During  the 
next  few  years,  in  addition  to  special  in- 
vestigations and  reports  on  radio  and  vac- 
uum tube  matters,  he  aided  in  the  prepa- 
ration for  the  Laboratories'  participa- 
tion in  various  international  radio  con- 
gresses, in  committee  work  on  electrical 
standards,  and  in  editorial  work  on 
technical  papers  for  publications.  Some 
of  the  reference  data  he  has  gathered 
on  the  development  and  progress  of  radio 
and  electronics  has  been  widely  published. 

During  the  second  World  War,  Dr. 
Blanchard  assisted  in  the  organization  of 
the  Laboratories  School  for  War  Training, 
and  for  the  first  few  months  of  its  opera- 
tion was  assigned  to  laboratory  instruction 
and  to  the  supervision  of  laboratory  ap- 
paratus and  equipment.  Following  that  he 
was  engaged  in  the  writing  of  radar  man- 
uals until  the  close  of  the  war,  for  which 
he  received  the  Navy  Department's  Em- 
blem and  Certificate  of  Appreciation. 

Dr.  Blanchard  served  as  the  Labora- 
tories' contact  in  New  York  and  Wash- 
ington with  the  government  office  which 
collected  reports  on  German  technical  de- 
velopments in  1946  and  1947.  Since 
then  he  has  been  a  member  of  the  Patent 
Department. 

A  collector  of  stamps  and  paper  money 
having  similar  designs,  Dr.  Blanchard  is 
a  charter  member  and  secretary  of  the 
Essay-Proof  Society.  He  expects  to  con- 
tinue his  contributions  on  paper  money 
to  its  quarterly  publication,  the  Essay- 
Proof  Journal,  of  which  he  is  assistant 
editor  and  business  manager.  Dr.  Blan- 
chard also  hopes  to  find  time,  now  that  he 
has  retired,  to  write  a  history  of  his 
family,  to  top  off  his  genealogical  hobby- 
ing.     He  will  continue  to  live  in  Green- 


wich Village,  New  York  City.     He  is  a 
Class  Agent  for  the  Loyalty  Fund. 

Edits  Dictionary 

Dr.  W.  Freeman  Twaddell,  '26,  was 
granted  a  leave  of  absence  from  his  duties 
as  professor  of  Germanic  languages  at 
Brown  University,  to  spend  the  current 
year  as  research  editor  of  the  new  Web- 
ster's Unabridged  Dictionary.  The  vol- 
ume, entitled  Webster's  International  Dic- 
tionary of  the  English  Language,  is  being 
published  by  the  G.  and  C.  Merriam  Com- 
pany, Springfield,  Mass. 

As  editor  of  the  huge  3,000-page  dic- 
tionary, Dr.  Twaddell  is  directing  a  corps 
of  approximately  250  scholars  and  sci- 
entists in  the  mountainous  task  of  revising 
the  more  than  400,000  entries.  In  con- 
trast, Noah  Webster,  originator  of  the 
dictionary,  wrote  and  edited  singlehanded 
the  first  edition  which  was  published  in 
1828. 

A   prominent   linguist   and  philologist, 


Dr.  Twaddell  has  been  teaching  at  Brown 
since  1947.  Prior  to  that  he  was  chairman 
of  the  German  Department  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Wisconsin.  During  the  war  he 
collaborated  on  a  handbook  of  conversa- 
tional German  for  the  use  of  American 
troops  in  occupied  Germany.  He  is  the 
author  of  three  other  German  text  books 
used  in  many  schools  and  colleges.  As  co- 
ordinator of  the  Army's  Training  Progam, 
at  Wisconsin,  he  supervised  quick  lan- 
guage teaching  by  the  phonemic  or  "im- 
portant sounds"  method,  and  was  largely 
instrumental  in  having  the  method  widely 
adopted  in  language  teaching.  Dr.  Twad- 
dell has  also  been  a  visiting  professor 
at  Leland  Stanford  University  and  the 
University  of  Michigan.  In  the  past  he 
has  contributed  to  many  publications  in 
the  field  of  linguistics.,  including  the 
Britannica  Junior,  and  has  written  sev- 
eral definitive  studies  on  the  subject. 

Dr.  Twaddell  made  his  home  in  Durham 
for  some  time.  His  father,  the  late  Prof. 
William  P.  Twaddell,  was  for  many  years 
director  of  music  in  the  Durham  public 
schools,  and  was  the  first  director  of  the 
Duke  University  Glee  Club.  He  was 
succeeded  in  1927  by  J'.  Foster  Barnes. 

Dr.  Twaddell  is  married  and  has  three 
sons.  They  are  making  their  home  in  a 
Boston  suburb  for  the  year.

During  World  War  I,  he  served  as  an  in- 
fantry officer  in  the  Army. 

Having  joined  the  leaf  factory  of  the 
Liggett  and  Myers  Tobacco  Company  after 
his  graduation  from  college  in  1916,  Mr. 
Few  spent  the  years  from  1920  to  1930 
in  Manila,  Philippine  Islands.  He  was 
transferred  to  the  New  York  office  in 
1930,  and  in  1936  was  named  director 
and  senior  vice-president  of  the  company. 

In  1945,  Mr.  Few  also  became  a  trustee 
of  Robert  College,  Istanbul,  Turkey. 

A  golf  enthusiast,  Mr.  Few  has  won 
several  amateur  golf  awards,  including

A.I.E.E.  Honors  Strandberg 

Charles  F.  Strandberg,  B.S.E.E.  '50,  of 
Greensboro,  has  been  named  winner  of  the 
American  Institute  of  Electrical  Engi- 
neers' national  contest  for  student  re- 
search papers  in  1949-50.  Charles  re- 
ceived the  hundred-dollar  first  prize  for 
his  paper  entitled  "Recording  Styli:  The 
Burnishing  Facet  and  a  Process  for  Re- 
sharpening." 

The  cash  prize  and  a  special  certificate 
were  presented  to  him  last  month  at  the 
Institute's  National  Winter  General  Meet- 
ing in  New  York. 

The  prize-winning  paper  describes  a 
patented  instrument  which  Charles  in- 
vented while  a  senior  at  Duke.  Designed 
to  save  costly  repair  of  sapphire  recording 
needles,  the  device  is  used  to  cleanse  these 
needles  quickly  and  inexpensively. 

The  instrument  is  now  widely  used  in 
the  radio  broadcasting  industry,  and  is 
being  manufactured  by  the  Strandberg 
Engineering  Laboratories,  Greensboro,  of 
which  Charles  is  a  partner. 

E.  L.  Jones  Re-elected

J.  A.  Jones  Construction  Company  of 
Charlotte,  N.  C,  was  recently  re-elected 
chairman  of  the  Charlotte  Housing 
Authority  at  their  annual  meeting.  He 
has  headed  the  Authority  since  1938. 

The  organization  is  now  conducting  an 
examination  to  determine  whether  incomes 
of  those  living  in  the  low-rent  projects 
have  increased  to  an  extent  to  make  them 
ineligible.  They  are  also  planning  a  400- 
unit  development  for  Negro  families  in 
Charlotte. 

Thanks  Cleveland  Editor 

In  an  issue  of  the  Cleveland  News, 
there  appeared  an  editorial  describing  the 
Duke  University  carillon.  The  article  is 
reprinted  on  the  editorial  page  of  this 
issue.  It  prompted  Elizabeth  L.  Stryker, 
'42,  secretary  of  the  Northeastern  Ohio 
Duke  Alumni,  of  3286  Elsmere  Road, 
Shaker  Heights  20,  Ohio,  to  express  her 
gratitude  to  Mr.  N.  R.  Howard,  editor  of 
the  News. 

This  incident  is  worthy  of  comment  for 
two  reasons.  First  of  all,  Duke  is  proud 
of  its  alumna's  thoughtfulness  in  acknowl- 
edging the  editorial.  It  is  the  way  you 
act  that  reflects  favorably  upon  the  Uni- 
versity. Secondly,  the  Alumni  Office  ap- 
preciates the  fact  that  this  information 
was  forwarded  to  it.  (See  editorials.) 
Following  is  Elizabeth's  letter; 


Dear  Mr.  Howard : 

On  behalf  of  the  local  Duke  Uni- 
versity alumni  chapter,  I  want  to 
thank  you  for  the  editorial  which  ap- 
peared in  the  News  regarding  the 
carillon.  It  was  very  interesting,  not 
only  to  those  people  who  know  Duke 
and  the  carillon,  but  also,  I  am  sure, 
to  those  people  who  are  not  familiar 
with  this  aspect  of  the  University. 

You  might  be  interested  to  know 
that  in  Northeastern  Ohio,  there  are 
approximately  260  Duke  Alumni — 
this  is  including  cities  such  as  Akron, 
Canton,  and  Youngstown,  in  addition 
to  Cleveland. 

I  am  sending  a  copy  of  the  edi- 
torial and  a  copy  of  this  letter  to 
the  Alumni  Office  at  Duke  University. 

Thanking  you  again,  I  am 
Yours  very  truly, 
Elizabeth  L.   Stryker 

Judge  Robbins  on  Board 

Haywood  Robbins,  '30,  LL.B.  '32,  of 
Charlotte,  has  been  named  by  Governor 
Kerr  Scott  of  North  Carolina  to  succeed 
D.  E.  Henderson  as  a  Democratic  member 
of  the  State  Elections  Board.  Mr.  Hend- 
erson recently  resigned. 

The  new  board  member  is  a  past  judge 
of  the  Charlotte  city  court  and  has  prac- 
ticed law  in  Charlotte  for  the  last  18 
years.  His  wife  is  the  former  Dr.  Noel 
Walker,  M.D.  '32,  of  Charlotte,  who  was 
the  first  woman  to  graduate  from  the 
Duke  University  Medical  School. 

Summer  in  Germany 

David  L.  Cozart,  Jr.,  '38,  insurance 
executive  at  New  Bern,  N.  C,  and  coun- 
sellor of  the  Methodist  Youth  Fellowship 
in  a  New  Bern  Church,  was  one  of  the 
counsellors  of  a  group  of  young  North 
Carolinians  who  spent  last  summer  in 
Germany  on  a  combination  "Youth  Cara- 
van" and  work  camp. 

Four  Duke  students,  Nat  Harrison,  Jr., 
Herbert  Waldrep,  Jr.,  Catherine  Wike, 
and  Mary  Dawson,  and  six  other  North 
Carolinians  comprised  the  group.  Their 
main  occupation  was  the  rebuilding  of  a 
Methodist  Church  which  had  been  des- 
troyed in  the  last  war,  but  their  most 
important  accomplishments,  according  to 
Mr.  Cozart,  came  about  through  their 
social  relationships  with  the  Germans  in 
their  neighborhood. 

The  young  people  took  part  in  the 
church  services  of  the  village  in  which 
they  were  working  and  in  neighboring 
villages,    and    frequently    had    informal

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  February,  1951 


meetings  with  the  members  of  the  con- 
gregations, thereby  spreading  American 
influence  and  culture.  As  one  young- 
German  said  of  the  North  Carolina  group, 
"They  showed  us  that  Americans  do  have 
something  besides  chewing  gum  and  neon 
lights." 

The  project  was  sponsored  by  the 
North  Carolina  Conference  Boards  of 
Missions  and  Education,  and  was  con- 
ducted in  cooperation  with  the  Educa- 
tional and  Cultural  Relations  Division 
of  the  United  States  High  Commission 
for  Germany,  which  sees  such  work 
groups  and  youth  exchanges  as  a  definite 
aid  in  the  reeducation  of  the  German 
youth. 

At  Rio  Conference 

Duke  University  was  well  represented 
by  former  students  and  teachers  at  a 
Public  Affairs  Officers'  Conference  held  in 
Rio  de  Janeiro  some  weeks  ago.  Rodolfo 
0.  Rivera,  A.M.  '29,  Ph.D.  '32,  who  is  cul- 
tural attache  for  the  American  Embassy, 
Montevideo,  Uruguay,  wrote  to  the  Alum- 
ni Office  about  the  meeting,  which  was 
attended  by  high  ranking  officers  of  the 
Office  of  Information  and  Educational 
Exchange  of  the  Department  of  State  and 
by  the  public  affairs  officers  of  all  the 
nine  countries  of  South  America. 

Forney  Rankin,  Public  Affairs  Adviser 
to  the  Assistant  Secretary  of  State  for 
Latin  American  Affairs,  who  attended  the 
Duke  Law  School  in  1934,  presided  at  the 
conference.  Dr.  John  T.  Reed,  Public 
Affairs  Officer  at  the  American  Embassy 
at  Caracas,  Venezuela,  was  assistant  pro- 
fessor of  romance  languages  at  Duke  from 
1938  to  1940.  Dr.  Gordon  Brown,  Acting 
Public  Affairs  Officer  at  the  American 
Embassy  at  Bogota,  Colombia,  taught  in 
the  Summer  Session  of  Duke  University 
during  1941,  1942,  1943  and  1944.  Gil- 
bert A.  Crandall,  Public  Affairs  Officer 
at  the  American  Embassy,  La  Paz,  Bo- 
livia, who  also  attended  the  conference, 
was  a  graduate  student  in  the  History  De- 
partment at  Duke  in  1935  and  1936. 

Dr.  Rivera  received  his  doctor's  degree 
in  the  field  of  Latin  American  History 
and  Foreign  Relations.  While  at  Duke  he 
served  in  the  Reference  Department  of  the 
Library,  and  was  Executive  Secretary  of 
the  Duke  University  Press. 

Mrs.  Rivera,  the  former  Laura  Martin 
Jarman,  is  also  a  Duke  alumna,  having 
received  her  A.M.  in  1932,  and  her  Ph.D.  ' 
in  Romance  Languages  in  1936.  She 
taught  at  Duke  while  she  was  doing  her 
graduate  work. 


Alumni  in  the  Armed  Forces 


Decorated  for  Gallantry 

A  Silver  Star  for  gallantry  in  action 
has  been  awarded  Captain  Warren  J.  Col- 
lins, '46,  M.D.,  B.S.M.  '48.  At  the  time 
of  the  battle  early  last  fall  which  re- 
sulted in  the  award,  Capt.  Collins  was  in 
charge  of  a  medical  aid  station  of  the 
First  Cavalry  Division  near  Hamhung, 
Korea. 

Ten  enemy  tanks,  supported  by  in- 
fantry, three  times  attacked  and  forced 
the  withdrawal  of  Capt.  Collins'  aid  sta- 
tion, which  was  defended  by  only  a  lightly 
armored  jeep-and-truck  convoy  loaded 
with  infantrymen.  On  each  occasion  he 
was  the  last  to  withdraw.  By  loading- 
wounded  on  vehicles  as  soon  as  they  were 
treated,  he  saved  many  casualties  who 
would  otherwise  have  been  run  over  by 
the  tanks.  Single-handedly,  he  evacuated 
men  to  safety  from  positions  as  close  as 
50  yards  from  enemy  tanks. 

Capt.  Collins  also  wears  the  Combat 
Medical  Badge  awarded  to  medical  men 
who  have  spent  at  least  30  days  in  the 
front  lines  of  combat. 

His  wife,  the  former  Genie  Glass,  who 
was  a  technician  at  Duke  in  1945  and 
1946,  is  living  with  her  parents  in  Apex, 
N.  G,  while  he  is  in  Korea. 

Keeps  Sabre- Jets  Flying 

Veteran  fighter  pilot  and  air  com- 
mander, Major  R.  G.  "Zack"  Taylor,  '41, 
is  the  man  behind  the  gun  in  a  new  chap- 
ter in  United  States  aerial  combat  history. 
He  is  operations  officer  for  the  4th  Fight- 
er Interceptor  Wing  of  the  United  States 
Far  East  Air  Forces  which  recently  in- 
troduced the  speedy  F-86  North  American 
Sabre  jet  into  action  in  the  war  in  Korea. 

Major  Taylor  is  charged  with  actual 
operational  functions  of  the  plane  which 
holds  the  world's  speed  record,  and  is 
primarily  responsible  for  the  missions  and 
tactics  which  are  used  by  the  Sabre  jet 
pilots  in  combat. 

Of  1004  Dacian  Avenue,  Durham,  Ma- 
jor Taylor  enlisted  in  the  Air  Force  before 
Pearl  Harbor  in  1941.  After  receiving 
his  wings,  he  became  a  combat  squadron 
commander  in  Africa  and  Italy,  with  more 
than  50  missions  to  his  credit.  He  downed 
six  Focke-Wulf  109's  during  World  War 
II,  and  won  the  Distinguished  Flying 
Cross,  Air  Medal  and  Soldier's  Medal. 
Later  he  formed  an  F-51  squadron  for 
demonstration  purposes  to  ground  troops, 


served  33  months  on  occupation  duty  as 
commander  of  a  P-47  outfit,  and  became 
director  of  operations  and  training  for 
Ninth  Air  Force. 

Wounded  in  Action 

Second  Lieutenant  Laurence  M.  Phelps, 
'48,  United  States  Marine  Corps,  of  311 
South  11th  Avenue,  Lake  Worth,  Fla., 
was  one  of  the  first  Marine  casualties 
from  Korea  to  be  brought  to  the  United 
States  Naval  Hospital,  Jacksonville,  Fla. 

Lt.  Phelps  was  wounded  by  machine 
gun  fire  while  serving  as  an  artillery  for- 
ward observer  "eyes  of  the  artillery"  at 
the  crossing  of  the  Han  River.  He  was 
rescued  by  friendly  Korean  civilians  and 
taken  to  a  first  aid  station  which  was  the 
first  step  toward  the  journey  home.  The 
trip  to  the  Jacksonville  hospital  was  made 
entirely  by  Military  Air  Transport  Serv- 
ice. During  the  stop  at  Pearl  Harbor, 
Hawaii,  he  was  awarded  the  Purple 
Heart. 

Having  seen  duty  with  the  Marines  on 
Okinawa  as  a  sergeant  during  World  War 
II,  Lt.  Phelps  was  commissioned  after  re- 
ceiving his  degree  from  Duke.  His  wife, 
Barbara,  and  their  children,  Linda  and 
Laurence  III,  expected  him  home  from 
the  hospital  by  Christmas. 

Lady  Marine  Bails  Out 

When  an  airplane  runs  out  of  gas,  just 
about  the  only  solution  for  the  passengers 
is  a  parachute  jump.  That  is  exactly 
what  Dorothea  Storck,  '50,  second  lieuten- 
ant in  the  Woman's  Marine  Corps,  ,did 
when  the  plane  in  which  she  was  making 
a  training  flight  ran  out  of  fuel  over  the 
Okeefenokee  Swamp. 

Dorothea  made  the  jump  successfully 
except  for  a  wrenched  back,  but  landed  in 
swampland.  The  pilot,  who  was  the  only 
other  person  in  the  plane,  managed  to 
make  a  crash  landing  and  escaped  un- 
harmed. 

Meanwhile,  dusk  was  gathering,  and 
although  she  was  near  the  Jacksonville 
Naval  Air  Station,  an  uncharted  hike 
through  swampland  did  not  appeal  to 
Dorothea.  She  gamely  wrapped  herself 
in  the  crumpled  parachute  as  a  protection 
against  cold  and  dampness,  and  spent  the 
night.  In  the  morning  she  was  able  to 
reach  civilization  and  a  hot  cup  of  coffee. 

Stationed  at  Quantico,  Va.,  Dorothea's 
home  is  in  Bronxville,  N.  T.

Local  Alumni  Meetings 


Buffalo,  N.  Y. 

Western  New  York  alumni  report  two 
bang-up  Christmas  holiday  parties,  one 
of  which  was  a  basketball  game  and  re- 
ception for  the  Duke  team.  The  Dukes 
lost  to  Canisius,  69-57,  on  New  Years  Day, 
but  won  a  host  of  friends  in  the  Buffalo 
area. 

The  first  party  was  an  annual  Yuletide 
affair  with  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Andrew  Cun- 
ningham and  Garfield  L.  Miller,  '39,  and 
Mrs.  Johanne  Miller  once  again  acting  as 
gracious  hosts.  The  get-together  was  a 
huge  success  with  many  new  faces  present. 
Some  of  those  who  helped  put  over  the 
party  were  :  A.  Bead  Cone,  '37,  Mrs.  Cone, 
Thomas  C.  Morrow,  '40,  Mrs.  Morrow, 
John  F.  Cree,  '39,  Mrs.  Cree,  Alvin  Bing- 
ham, '49,  Yirgie  Mae  Bay  Bingham,  B.N. 
'48,  Alfred  Tallman,  '48,  Frances  Jean 
Frather  Tallman,  '48,  Fenton  F.  Harri- 
son, '43,  Dr.  Marvin  A.  Bapp,  '40,  Fh.D. 
'48,  Mrs.  Bapp,  John  Bryce,  '34,  and  Mrs. 
Bryee.  Many  others  lent  able  assistance 
to  the  party. 

The  basketball  reception  was  held  at 
the  Saturn  Club,  and  the  interest  was 
gratifying.  Coach  Bradley  and  several 
players  were  interviewed  for  both  radio 
and  television  transmission  on  station 
WBEN.  Some  of  the  Duke  people,  much 
to  the  delight  of  the  players,  provided  ten 
cute  dates  for  members  of  the  team. 
Needless  to  say,  the  Blue  Devils  returned 
to  Durham  with  lusty  cheers  for  the  West- 
ern New  York  Alumni. 


Sampson-Duplin  County 

President  Hollis  Edens  was  the  prin- 
cipal speaker  at  the  Sampson-Duplin 
County  Alumni  Association  dinner  meet- 
ing held  at  Bose  Hill,  N.  C,  on  Friday 
evening,  February  2.  A  large  group  of 
Duke  alumni  and  friends,  including  a 
number  of  high  school  principals,  faculty 
and  students,  met  at  the  Bose  Hill  School 
lunchroom.  A  chicken  dinner  was  served 
at  7:00  o'clock. 

Tina  Fussell  Wilson  (Mrs.  L.  A.),  '21, 
president  of  the  association,  presided  and 
was  in  charge  of  the  arrangements  for  the 
meeting.  Following  the  dinner,  Dr.  Amos 
N.  Johnson,  '29,  introduced  President 
Edens,  who  spoke  to  the  gathering  about 
Duke  University's  past,  present  and 
future  and  the  importance  of  the  current 
Development  Campaign. 

William  L.  Brinkley,  Jr.,  '44,  field  secre- 
tary, undergraduate  admissions,  also 
talked  to  the  group,  briefly  outlining  the 
University's  undergraduate  program.  He 
directed  his  words  at  the  high  school 
officials  and  students  with  the  object  of 
making  them  more  "Duke  conscious." 
Pictorial  brochures  were  passed  out  to 
prospective  students  and  other  interested 
persons. 

The  meeting  concluded  with  an  election 
of  officers.  Those  chosen  to  serve  for  the 
year  1951  are :  Dr.  Amos  N.  Johnson, 
'29,  president ;  Owen  P.  Johnson,  '27, 
vice-president ;  Thomas  D.  Johnson,  '35, 
secretary-treasurer;  and  Tina  Fussell 
Wilson,  alumni  representative.

Alumnus  Returns  to  Direct  Gridiron  Campaigns 


Bill  Murray  Named  to  Succeed  Wallace  Wade 

Former  Delaware  Coach  Was  All-Southern  Halfback  at  Duke  20  Years  Ago 


William  D.  Murray,  '31,  former  Duke 
football  great  and  for  the  last  10  years 
director  of  athletics  and  head  football 
coach  at  the  University  of  Delaware,  is 
Duke's  new  head  football  coach.  His 
selection  and  acceptance  were  announced 
by  President  Edens  on  the  last  day  of 
January,  ending  the  two-month  period  of 
suspense  and  guesswork  which  started 
with  Wallace  Wade's  appointment  as  com- 
missioner of  the  Southern  Conference  last 
December  8. 

For  Murray,  the  new  contract  means 
the  realization  of  a  long-cherished  am- 
bition. For  Duke,  it  means  the  acquisition 
of  a  young  man  with  one  of  the  most  spec- 
tacular coaching  records  in  modern  foot- 
ball. 

After  graduating  from  Duke,  Murray 
became  head  coach,  principal,  dean  of 
boys,  and,  later,  assistant  superintendent 
at  Childrens  Home,  in  Winston-Salem, 
where  his  football  teams  set  the  pace  for 
the  high  school  and  prep  teams  in  the 
South  Piedmont  district.  During  his  ten- 
year  stay,  Childrens  Home,  football  teams 
won  sixty-nine  games  and  tied  three, 
losing  only  nine!  There  were  three  un- 
defeated seasons,  and  one  winning  streak 
stretched  to  thirty-six  games. 

In  1941  he  became  head  football  coach 
at  the  University  of  Delaware,  a  position 
for  which  he  was  highly  recommended 
by  his  predecessor  at  Duke,  Wallace 
Wade.  His  teams  there  also  were  a  sen- 
sation. In  seven  seasons  (Delaware  did 
not  field  a  team  during  the  war  years) 
they  won  forty-nine,  tied  two,  and  lost 
sixteen.  There,  also,  three  undefeated 
seasons  were  recorded,  and  one  winning 
streak  ran  to  thirty-two  games. 

Coach  Murray's  lifetime  record  is  118 
victories,  five  ties,  and  25  losses. 

Outstanding  as  a  Student 

In  his  student  days  "Smiling  Bill"  Mur- 
ray thrilled  many  a  Duke  fan  with  his  end 
sweeps.  He  was  one  of  the  spark  plugs 
of  the  great  Duke  team  that  fought  the 
University  of  North  Carolina  to  a  0-0  tie 
in  the  famous  "Battle  of  Lake  Kenan"  in 
1930  to  break  a  Tar -heel  jinx  which  had 
lasted  seven  years.  The  Blue  Devils  fin- 
ished that  season  with  a  record  of  eight 
wins,  two  ties,  and  one  loss. 


Halfback  Bill  Murray  gained  1,030 
yards  that  season,  and  his  performance 
earned  him  a  berth  on  the  All-Southern 
team  and  led  his  teammates  to  elect  him 
the  "Most  Valuable  Player"  on  the  team. 

He  was  outstanding  in  campus  life  as 
well  as  on  the  gridiron.  At  the  end  of  his 
freshman  year  he  was  voted  the  "best-all- 
around"  member  of  his  class.  In  his 
senior  year  he  was  unopposed  for  the 
presidency  of  the  Men's  Student  Govern- 
ment Association.  Upon  graduation  he 
was  presented  the  Robert  E.  Lee  award  as 
the  outstanding  member  of  his  class.  He 
was  a  member  of  the  "Red  Friars,"  Duke's 
highest  honorary  fraternity,  and  of  Om- 
icron  Delta  Kappa,  national  leadership 
fraternitv. 


William  D.  Murray,  '31 
as  a  student 

His  appointment  as  head  football  coach 
at  Duke  came  as  a  surprise  to  many,  not 
because  they  thought  he  was  not  being 
considered,  but  because  everyone  was  sure 
that  he  would  not  be  willing  to  give  up  his 
very  favorable  situation  at  Delaware.  He 
was  director  of  athletics  and  head  football 
coach,  and  also  director  of  the  division 
of  student  health  and  physical  education. 
He  had  been  president  of  the  Delaware 
Faculty  Club,  and  was  elected  from  the 
facultv  to  the  Universitv  Council.     More- 


over, he  had  recently  turned  down  several 
highly  advantageous  offers  in  order  to 
remain  at  Delaware. 

When  quizzed  about  this,  Coach  Mur- 
ray answered  "I  made  up  my  mind  a  few 
years  ago  when  I  had  several  opportuni- 
ties to  go  elsewhere  that  I  would  never 
leave  Delaware  for  any  other  place  but 
Duke.  However,  I  had  no  idea  at  the 
time  that  I  would  ever  get  the  chance  to 
coach  at  Duke.  I  leave  a  wonderful  job 
and  wonderful  place." 

"T"   for  Duke? 

Murray's  favorite  formation  at  Dela- 
ware seems  to  have  been  the  double  wing- 
back.  Last  year  he  abandoned  it  for 
the  first  time  in  favor  of  a  variation  of 
the  split  T.  When  asked  recently  whether 
he  preferred  the  single  wing  or  the  T, 
Murray  replied  that  he  liked  "a  little  of 
both,"  and  that  he  would  have  to  look  over 
his  material  before  deciding  definitely 
which  system  he  will  use.  He  indicated, 
however,  that  he  might  use  some  of  each. 

Coach  Murray  is  heartily  in  favor  of 
the  two-platoon  system,  mainly  because 
"it  enables  more  boys  to  play." 

Although  Murray's  contract  with  Duke 
is  for  only  three  years,  it  is  generally 
understood  that  he  is  to  stay  much  longer 
than  that.  Eddie  Cameron,  Duke's  di- 
rector of  athletics,  said  during  the  press 
conference  at  which  Murray's  selection 
was  announced,  "Duke  never  talks  much 
about  a  contract.  We  just  hire  somebody 
and  that's  that.  We  hope  Bill  will  be 
with  us  for  a  long  time." 

Cameron  went  on  to  praise  his  former 
protege  (Cameron  had  been  freshman 
football  coach  during  Bill's  freshman  year 
at  Duke.)  :  "We  consider  ourselves  to  be 
most  fortunate  in  securing  the  services  of 
Bill  Murray.  I  have  known  him  as  player 
and  coach  and  have  followed  his  career 
closely  over  the  years.  He  is  a  splendid 
football  coach,  but  more  than  that,  he  is 
a  moulder  of  men." 

Jack  Horner,  sports  editor  of  the  Dur- 
ham Morning  Herald,  has  also  been 
watching  Bill  Murray's  career  for  a  long 
time.  He  says  "I  first  met  Bill  Murray 
when  he  was  producing  winning  teams

Cagers  Secure  Conference  Tourney  Berth 


The  Blue  Devil  cagers  clinched  a  bid  to 
the  Southern  Conference  tournament  by 
defeating  Wake  Forest  69-64  on  Febru- 
ary 19.  Duke's  one  remaining  conference 
game,  which  is  with  North  Carolina,  can 
affect  only  the  Tarheel's  chances  for  a 
bid. 

The  Wake  Forest  game  was  fast  and 
close.  The  lead  changed  six  times  in  the 
first  half,  and  although  Duke  was  never 
headed  after  grabbing  the  lead  in  the  first 
three  minutes  of  the  second  half,  the  mar- 
gin was  never  more  than  a   few  points. 

The  eight  teams  with  the  best  confer- 
ence records  are  invited  to  the  tourna- 
ment each  year.  It  will  be  held  this  year 
on  March  1-3  at  North  Carolina  State. 
Duke  is  currently  ranked  fifth  in  confer- 
ence standings,  with  a  12  won,  6  lost  rec- 
ord. 

Duke's  record  for  all  games  played  so 
far  is  17  won  and  12  lost. 

The  biggest  basketball  news  at  Duke 
this  year  has  been  sensational  guard  Dick 
Groat,  who  has  broken  the  national  record 
for  total  points  from  free  throws  in  one 


season  by  raising  his  mark  to  233  in  the 
29  games  played  so  far  this  year.  He  has 
made  80.5  per  cent  of  all  his  charity 
tosses.  The  old  record  of  215  was  held 
jointly  by  Tony  Lavelli  of  Yale  and  Paul 
Arizin  of  Yillanova.  Groat  is  now  shoot- 
ing for  another  record — the  National  Col- 
legiate high  scoring  record  of  740  points 
in  one  season,  set  by  William  and  Mary's 
Chet  Giermak  two  years  ago.  His  grand 
total  to  date  is  717  points,  only  23  short. 
With  two  games  still  to  play  and  possibly 
more  if  the  Blue  Devils  meet  with  success 
in  the  tournament,  Groat  seems  a  sure  bet 
to  set  a  new  mark. 

Dick  has  already  smashed  most  of 
Duke's  records.  He  set  a  new  record  of 
37  points  scored  in  a  single  game  as  the 
Blue  Devils  trounced  Davidson  90-68 
shortly  after  mid-term  exams.  The  Duke 
record  for  total  points  in  a  season,  which 
was  430,  he  has  long  since  smashed. 

The  Devil  cagers  emerged  from  exam 
week  in  a  slump  during  which  they 
dropped  games  to  Wake  Forest,  (65-56) 
the  University  of  South  Carolina,  (86-64)

the  University  of  North  Carolina  (71-68). 
and  New  York  University  (79-73). 

But  they  picked  up  their  second  win  of 
the  second  semester  by  blasting  George 
Washington  S5-70,  on  February  5.  The 
next  night  the  Dukes  were  again  victori- 
ous, beating  William  and  Mary  61-54  to 
get  back  into  the  running  for  a  berth  at 
the  Southern  Conference  Tournament, 
which  is  to  be  held  at  North  Carolina 
State  March  1-3. 

Taking  a  loss  to  Southern  Conference 
champion  North  Carolina  State  in  their 
stride,  and  quite  elated  that  Diek  Groat 
had  again  outseored  the  great  State  star 
Sammy  Ranzino,  this  time  27  to  20,  the 
Blue  Devils  went  on  to  rack  up  two  more 
Southern  Conference  victories.  The  first 
of  these  was  a  94-73  rout  of  Davidson  on 
the  losers'  home  court  February  14.  The 
Dukes  dominated  the  court  throughout 
the  game,  and  were  never  headed. 

Two  days  later  they  scored  another 
smashing  victory,  this  time  on  their  home 
court  against  Washington  and  Lee  by  a 
comfortable  94-6S  margin.  The  Blue 
Devils  were  ahead  throughout  the  game, 
the  Generals  never  approaching  any  closer 
than  within  four  points  after  the  game 
was  a  little  underway. 

Taking  a  road  trip  to  the  northern 
fringe  of  the  Southern  Conference.  Duke 
won  a  49-40  decision  from  the  University 
of  Maryland.  Tight  defensive  play  was 
the  outstanding  feature  of  this  game,  with 
a  minimum  of  the  flashy  offensive  work 
that  has  characterized  most  of  the  Blue 
Devil  play  this  fall. 

The  game  was  close  all  the  way,  and 
only  in  the  final  quarter  did  Duke  attain 
the  security  of  a  comparatively  large 
point  margin. 

The  Blue  Devils  stepped  outside  the 
conference  for  a  tiff  with  the  flashy  Mid-

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  February,  1951 


dies  of  The  United  States  Naval  Acade- 
my at  Annapolis.  Navy  blue  outshone 
the  Duke  blue,  and  the  Devils  suffered  an 
85-60  defeat. 

The  latest  scoring  figures  for  the  Duke 
cagers  as  the  Register  goes  to  press  have 
Dick  Groat,  of  course,  in  front  with  717 
points.  Dick  Crowder,  lanky  center,  is 
second  with  267  points,  and  team  Cap- 
tain Scotty  York  is  next  with  a  steady 
233.  Kes  Deimling,  a  sophomore  who  has 
showed  a  lot  of  promise,  has  198  points. 
The  other  leaders  are  Bill  Fleming  with 
196  and  Dayton  Allen  with  163. 

Groat's  total  score  for  this  year,  plus 
the  275  points  he  scored  in  19  games  last 
winter,  gives  him  992  points  for  his  two- 
year  varsity  career.  This  equals  the  mark 
set  in  three  years  by  Duke's  All- American 
Ed  Koffenberger.  Groat  is  now  17  points 
above  the  pace  set  by  Con-en  "Ceep"  You- 
mans  in  his  four-year  varsity  career  at 
Duke.  Youmans  played  on  the  varsity 
as  a  freshman.  If  Groat's  freshman  totals 
are  included  in  his  career  record,  it  stands 
at  1193  points  in  three  seasons. 

WRESTLERS 

Duke's  varsity  wrestlers  racked  up  their 
second  win  of  the  1950-51  season  here 
February  5  by  mauling  Georgia  Tech  19- 
7.  The  Duke  grapplers  have  lost  one  de- 
cision, that  being  to  Virginia  Tech  by  a 
17-13  count.  On  February  15  they  beat 
Davidson,  their  third  opponent,  17-11. 
Earlier  in  the  season  Duke  had  defeated 
tauted  Maryland  by  a  16-14  score.  The 
team  has  three  meets  left  on  the  schedule 
before  moving  into  the  Southern  Con- 
ference tournament. 

After  their  first  three  meets,  five  Duke 
wrestlers  were  unbeaten.  Besides  co-cap- 
tains Dick  Harrison  and  Bill  Britt,  they 
included  Bob  Burrell,  Jerry  Gallagher 
and  John  McMasters.

Former  Duke  Coach  Wallace  Wade, 
now  commissioner  of  the  Southern 
Conference,  has  opened  his  office  in 
Durham,  which  has  been  his  home  ever 
since  he  first  came  to  Duke  twenty 
years  ago.  His  new  business  address 
is  the  Temple  Building  at  107  Market 
Street. 

Mr.  Wade  left  Duke  University  to 
take  up  his  new  duties  on  January  1. 


Billy  Cox,  Blue  Devil  tailback,  and 
Worth  Lutz,  Jr.,  Durham  High  fullback, 
were  awarded  the  Center  Theatre  Tro- 
phies as  the  outstanding  players  of  their 
respective  schools  for  the  past  season  at 
a  ceremony  during  half-time  intermission 
of  the  Duke-Wake  Forest  basketball  game. 

Noble  Arnold,  former  manager  of  the 
Center  Theatre  in  Durham,  and  long  a 
friend  of  Duke  University,  flew  from  At- 
lanta, Ga.,  where  he  is  now  located,  to 
make  the  presentations. 

This  is  the  second  successive  year  that 
Worth  Lutz  has  won  the  High  School 
award.  The  son  of  Worth  Lutz,  Sr.,  '29, 
Worth,  Jr.,  has  reeentlv  been  named  on 


the  All  American  High  School  team. 
Also  of  interest,  Worth,  Jr.,  will  enter 
Duke  as  a  freshman  next  fall. 

The  name  of  Billy  Cox  has  thus  been 
added  to  a  long  list  of  Diike  football 
greats  who  have  received  the  Center  Thea- 
tre award  for  the  most  valuable  player 
at  Duke.  The  list  includes  such  im- 
mortals to  the  memory  of  Duke  fans  as 
"Honey-boy''  Hackney,  Ace  Parker,  the 
late  Tom  Burns,  Whitey  Davis,  Fred  Fol- 
ger,  George  McAfee,  Al  DeRogatis,  and 
Louis  Allen.  Cox  either  set  or  helped 
set  seven  team  and  individual  offensive 
records  this  past  year. 


Arthur  Bradsher,  '04,  Great  Trinity 
Pitcher,  Dies 


Arthur  Brown  Bradsher,  '04,  one  of  the 
greatest  collegiate  pitchers  in  the  nation 
in  the  early  1900's,  died  at  his  home  in 
Beaufort,  N.  C,  on  January  27,  of  a 
heart  attack. 

As  the  ace  southpaw  for  Trinity  Col- 
lege, Mr.  Bradsher  rolled  up  an  amazing 
strike-out  record  and  was  known  through- 
out the  land  as  "King  of  the  Southern 
Diamond."  In  each  of  his  years  at 
Trinity,  Mr.  Bradsher  made  an  outstand- 
ing reputation  for  himself  on  the  base- 
ball diamond,  becoming  one  of  the  top 
collegiate  pitchers  of  all  time.  In  1901 
he  fanned  70  opposing  players,  and 
in  1903  there  were  99  who  could  not  touch 
one  of  his  pitches.  1904  brought  an  even 
more  spectacular  season,  for  Arthur  Brad- 
sher pitched  14  winning  games  and  lost 
only  one.  Facing  427  hitters  he  allowed 
only  48  safe  hits,  struck  out  166  batters, 
and  pitched  a  9-0  no-hitter  against  Oak 
Ridge.  During  his  final  year  he  allowed 
only  38  hits  in  13  games,  striking  out  169 
would-be  hitters.  Two  no-hit  games  were 
pitched  by  him  that  season.  A  versatile 
ball  player,  Mr.  Brasher  played  regularly 
in  the  outfield  or  at  third  base  when  he 
was  not  pitching. 

As  a  young  boy,  Arthur  Bradsher 
moved  to  Durham  with  his  family.  Hav- 
ing received  his  elementary  education  in 
the  Durham  city  schools,  he  entered  Trin- 
ity. 

After  graduating  from  college,  he  de- 
clined a  $10,000  job  (an  unheard  of  sum 


at  that  time)  to  play  professional  ball, 
choosing  instead  to  be  employed  by  the 
old  American  Tobacco  Company.  Later 
he  became  market  supervisor  for  the  Ex- 
port Leaf  Tobacco  Company  located  in 
Petersburg,  Va.  At  the  time  of  his  re- 
tirement in  1945  he  was  a  director  and 
vice-president  of  the  Imperial  Tobacco 
Company  of  Canada,  Montreal,  Canada. 

After  his  retirement  in  1945,  Mr.  Brad- 
sher made  his  home  on  Summerlea  Farm 
near  New  Bern,  N.  C,  until  September, 
1950,  when  he  moved  to  Beaufort. 

Funeral  services  for  Mr.  Bradsher  were 
held  at  the  Howerton-Bryan  Funeral 
Home  in  Durham,  and  interment  was  in 
Maplewood  Cemetery,  annex  B. 

Surviving  are  his  widow,  Mrs.  Eliza- 
beth Muse  Bradsher,  '05;  three  daughters, 
Mildred  Bradsher  Voorhees  (Mrs.  E.  H.), 
'46,  Garden  City,  Long  Island,  N.  Y. ; 
Mary  Elizabeth  Bradsher  Haves  (Mrs. 
F.  L),  '31,  Charlotte,  N.  C.;*and  Mrs. 
F.  A.  Gill,  Jr.,  Petersburg;  two  sons,  Dr. 
Charles  K.  Bradsher,  '33,  former  Duke 
track  star  hailed  as  one  of  the  greatest 
half-milers  in  the  school's  history,  who  is 
now  teaching  chemistry  at  Duke;  and  Dr. 
A.  B.  Bradsher,  Jr.,"  '38,  Philadelphia, 
Pa. ;  and  a  half  brother,  Gordon  M.  Car- 
ver, '15,  Carolina  Beach,  N.  C,  and  sixteen 
grandchildren.  In  addition  to  his  im- 
mediate family,  Mr.  Bradsher  is  survived 
by  a  large  number  of  relatives  and  in- 
laws, many  of  whom  came  to  Duke  Uni- 
versity.

Some  Recent  Events 


Duke  Host  to  N.  C.  Press 

Duke  University  entertained  the  North 
Carolina  Press  Association  at  a  dinner 
in  the  West  Campus  Union  during  the 
Association's  annual  Newspaper  Institute 
held  at  the  University  of  North  Carolina 
and  Duke  last  month.  Attendance  at  the 
Institute  broke  all  previous  records. 

Professor  James  T.  Cleland  of  the  Duke 
Divinity  School  gave  the  principal  ad- 
dress, and  Governor  W.  Kerr  Scott  pre- 
sented the  annual  press  awards.  Presi- 
dent Hollis  Edens  extended  a  welcome  to 
the  group,  and  Henry  Belk,  '23,  retiring 
president  of  the  Association,  responded. 
Dr.  Charles  E.  Jordan,  vice-president  of 
Duke  University,  presided.  A  musical 
program  was  presented  by  the  Duke 
Double  Quartet  directed  by  J.  Foster 
Barnes. 

American  Alumni  Council 
Holds  Meeting  at  Duke 

The  Alumni  Department  of  Duke  Uni- 
versity was  host  to  District  Three  of  the 
American  Alumni  Council  for  its  annual 
meeting,  held  in  January.  Charles  A. 
Dukes,  '29,  director  of  Alumni  Affairs, 
and  Anne  Garrard,  '25,  A.M.  '27,  assistant 
director  of  alumni  affairs,  planned  and 
coordinated  the  three-day  program,  which 
included  panel  discussions,  luncheon  and 
dinner  sessions,  addresses,  and  business 
sessions. 

Special  guest  and  speaker  at  the  Mon- 
day luncheon  was  T.  Hawley  Tapping,  of 
the  University  of  Michigan,  president  of 
the  American  Alumni  Council. 

Dr.  Hollis  Edens  was  the  principal 
speaker  at  the  last  evening  session  of  the 
meeting.  He  told  the  group,  which  is 
made  up  of  alumni  affairs  directors  of  the 
institutions  of  higher  learning  in  nine 
Southern  states,  that  the  alumnus  and 
his  alma  mater  have  a  mutual  responsi- 
bility to  each  other  that  must  never  be 
overlooked.  The  alumnus  has  the  respon- 
sibility of  interpreting  the  high  mission 
of  his  alma  mater,  and  it  is  the  institu- 
tion's duty  to  keep  the  alumnus  abreast 
of  its  growth  and  development. 

Also  featured  on  this  program  were 
several  musical  numbers  by  members  of 
the  Duke  Men's  Glee  Club,  who  performed 
under  the  baton  of  John  Putnam  of 
Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  student  director  of  the 
Glee  Club. 

The  final  panel  discussion  of  the  meet- 
ing was  directed  by  Charles  P.  McCurdy, 


Jr.,  of  William  and  Mary,  president-elect 
of  the  Council.  The  topic  was  "Trends  in 
Alumni  Work." 

Displayed  in  the  Washington  Duke 
Hotel,  Council  headquarters  for  the  meet- 
ing, were  several  exhibits  of  interest  to 
alumni  leaders.  An  engraving  exhibit 
from  Durham  Engraving  Company,  a 
printing  exhibit  from  Seeman  Printery, 
and  an  exhibit  of  various  alumni  maga- 
zines were  seen  by  the  delegates.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  February,  1951 


Duke  "Hams"  Speak  on  "Voice  of  America" 


On  the  last  afternoon  and  evening  in 
ranuary,  an  isolated  homesteader  in  the 
vilds  of  the  Australian  bush  and  perhaps 
i  student  in  the  twisting  byways  of  Paris' 
tlontmartre  tuned  their  radios  and  heard 
he  voices  of  two  Duke  University  stu- 
lents  and  a  Duke  staff  member.  They 
rere  listening  to  the  regular  weekly  half- 
lour  Voice  of  America  program  prepared 
■specially  for  short  wave  radio  enthusi- 
asts and  beamed  to  Europe  and  the 
Middle  East. 

Through  the  powerful  Voice  of  America 
adio,  key  members  of  amateur  short  wave 
tation  W4AHY  at  Duke  gained  an  in- 
ernational  audience  as  they  described  the 
listory  of  their  station  and  some  of  its 
echnical  aspects  in  a  six-minute  recorded 
nterview  from  the  "shack"  of  the  Engi- 
teers'  Radio  Station  located  in  the  Engi- 
leering  Building. 

Participating  in  the  broadcast  were 
)an  Murph,  Jr.,  Washington  senior,  son 
1  Daniel  S.  Murph,  A.M.  '03;  Robert 
jawler,  New  Orleans,  La.  freshman;  and 
loseph  P.  Edwards,  laboratory  technician 
n  the  Duke  Electrical  Engineering  De- 
triment. Leading  the  interview  was 
lank  Miller,  Voice  of  America  announcer 
torn  New  York  City,  who  visited 
iV4AHY  a  week  or  two  before  the  broad- 
cast to  make  the  recording. 

The  Voice  of  America  had  already  in- 
erviewed  a  former  president  of  the 
Electrical  Engineers'  Club,  Ed  Carson, 
49.  Ed,  his  brother  Bill,  and  their 
'ather,  J.  E.  Carson,  all  of  Danville,  Va. ; 
■ach  operate  a  short  wave  set. 

W4AHY  is  the  radio  outlet  for  a  group 
if  about  a  dozen  Duke  students  who  call 
hemselves  the  Duke  Amateur  Radio  Club. 
With  office  space  granted  them  by  the 
Duke  College  of  Engineering  and  a  mass 


of  surplus  service  radio  equipment,  the 
student  "hams"  have  constructed  a  power- 
ful transmitter  whose  signal  has  been 
heard  half-way  around  the  world. 

As  members  of  a  vast  international  net- 
work of  amateur  short  wave  stations, 
W4AHY  yearly  sends  more  than  300  mes- 
sages to  all  parts  of  the  United  States  and 
many  foreign  countries  without  charge  as 
a  public  service.  In  times  of  disaster 
when  normal  communications  are  para- 
lyzed, amateur  stations  like  W4AHY 
maintain  contact  with  the  outside  world 
through  their  widespread  network. 

Art  Exhibit  Features  Klee

most  brilliant  contemporary  artists,  Paul 
Klee,  is  being  featured.  Also  included  in

Glee  Club  Begins  1951 
Spring  Concert  Series 

The  1951  season  of  the  Duke  Men's 
Glee  Club  under  the  direction  of  J.  Fos- 
ter ("Bishop")  Barnes,  began  February 
16  in  Page  Auditorium  at  Duke,  when  the 
Club  presented  their  usual  scintillating 
program  of  male  harmony. 

Several  treats  were  in  store  for  the 
audience.  The  double  octet  added  another 
member  for  the  occasion,  a  coed,  Alicejean 
Thompson,  who  sang  in  the  "Italian 
Street  Song"  number.  Another  coed, 
Betty  Lou  Matheson,  sang  with  the  entire 
Club  in  a  stirring  rendition  of  "The  Om- 
nipotence." Highlights  of  the  evening 
were  the  Barbershop  Quartet  and  five  so- 
loists. 

Three  short  week  end  trips  in  North 
Carolina  and  a  Northern  tour  during 
spring  vacation  will  complete  the  season. 
This  year  the  Glee  Club  will  appear  on  a 
television  show  in  addition  to  their  usual 
NBC  broadcast.  The  same  captivating- 
enthusiasm  will  go  with  the  45  members 
of  the  Club  wherever  they  sing.  Chosen 
from  an  original  group  of  150  singers, 
their  music  is  the  result  of  four  and  a  half 
months'  continuous  rehearsing.  Yet  at 
each  performance  their  songs  are  as  spon- 
taneous as  if  sung  for  the  first  time.  They 
always  seem  to  succeed  in  their  dual  pur- 
pose of  pleasing  their  audience  and  en- 
joying themselves. 

The  entire  schedule  of  the  1951  Spring 
Glee  Club  tour  follows :  Durham,  Febru- 
ary 16;  Concord,  N.  C,  March  8;  Mount

WHAT 


MAKES 


A  CHAMPION 


ATHLETE? 


IS  IT  CONDITIONING.  .  .  coaching  .  .  .  teamwork  .  .  .  physique  .  .  .  sportsmanship  .  .  . 
competitive  spirit  ...  or  just  plain  honest-to-goodness  athletic  skill? 

We  don't  pretend  to  be  athletic  experts,  because  our  job  is  to  manufacture  high  quality  textile 
products.  But  as  sporting  fans  we  think  it  would  be  safe  to  say  that  an  athletic  champion  is  the  result 
of  all  these  fine  qualities. 

We  know  that  it  has  taken  a  combination  of  great  leadership,  manufacturing  know-how,  -careful 
planning,  employee  loyalty,  and  skilled  teamwork  to  make  Burlington  Mills  a  champion  in  the  textile 
industry.  The  Company's  many  accomplishments  and  progressive  growth  during  the  past  27  years  are 
well  known.  We  are  proud  of  this  record  and  equally  proud  of  our  32,000  employees  who  have  worked 
together  with  real  team  spirit  as  members  of  the  Burlington  team. 

It's  a  fact  that  Burlington's  fine  fabrics,  hosiery  and  other  textile  products  are  truly  "Woven  Into 
the  Life  of  America"  —  just  as  every  Burlington  plant  is  woven  into  the  life  of  its  own  community.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  February,  1951

Monastic  Treasure  Troves 

(Continued  from  page  36) 
expertly.  Dr.  Clark  was  assisted  in  this 
important  task  by  such  renowned  schol- 
ars as  Professor  Gerard  Garitte  of  the 
University  of  Louvain,  Belgium,  and  Dr. 
Aziz  S.  Atiya  of  Farouk  University. 

Adding  to  the  academic  difficulties  of 
the  job  were  extreme  variations  in  temp- 
erature and  mechanical  "bugs."  Differ- 
ences of  50  degrees  were  recorded  in  a 
single  day,  and  during  the  winter  fingers 
were  numbed,  and  stiffened,  and  camera 
efficiency  impaired  by  the  cold  in  the  un- 
heated  monastery.  Sand  got  into  the 
special  generators  that  powered  the  equip- 
ment; tiny,  irreplaceable  camera  parts 
broke,  and  other  troubles  were  encount- 
ered that  continually  threatened  the  suc- 
cess of  the  expedition. 

Now  the  job  is  finished,  and  scholars  no 
longer  need  to  make  the  expensive  and 
sometimes  impossible  trip  to  Mt.  Sinai  to 
study  the  ancient  writings.  They  may 
merely  travel  to  Washington,  D.  G,  and 
peruse  almost  1,500,000  photographed 
pages  which  Dr.  Clark  and  his  assistants 
brought  back  with  them. 

Complete  sets  of  negatives  are  avail- 
able at  the  Library  of  Congress  and  at 
Farouk  University.  Dr.  Clark  states  that 
the  world's  scholars  will  be  able  to  buy  a 
reproduction  on  film  of  an  immensely 
valuable  manuscript  for  as  little  as  $2.50. 

Members  of  the  Mt.  Sinai  expedition 
realize  that  the  intensive  year  of  work 
"on  location"  is  but  a  beginning  of  the 
research  on  these  rare  manuscripts  that 
were  photographed.  Whereas  the  texts 
have  lain  in  seclusion  for  centuries,  they 
are  now  available  to  every  scholar.  It 
will  require  the  labors  of  many  hundreds 
of  scholars  throughout  centuries  to  come 
for  the  full  exploration  of  the  rich  re- 
sources of  St.  Catherine's  library  on  film. 

Murray  New  Head  Coach 

(Continued  from  page  41) 
at    Childrens    Home,    an    orphanage,    in 
Winston-Salem. 

"He  got  the  mostest  out  of  the  leastest 
of  any  schoolboy  coach  I  have  ever  ob- 
served. He  was  a  highly  successful  coach 
there  and  his  football  teams  were  the 
class  of  the  always-strong  South  Pied- 
mont Conference. 

"When  I  was  operating  out  of  Greens- 
boro more  than  a  decade  ago,  I  often  saw 
Murray-coached  teams  in  action.  They 
not  only  played  sound  football  but  they 
always  displayed  marvelous  sportsman- 
ship." 


Former  Duke  coach  Wallace  Wade 
adopted  an  absolute  non-interventionist 
policy  in  regard  to  the  selection  of  his 
successor,  and  so  the  announcement  of 
Murray's  selection  was  as  much  a  sur- 
prise to  him  as  to  the  remainder  of  the 
waiting  world  of  Duke  supporters.  He 
said  in  a  statement  to  sports  writers :  "I 
want  to  congratulate  Bill  Murray  upon 
his  return  to  his  alma  mater  as  head  foot- 
ball coach.  He's  a  gentleman  in  every  re- 
spect, a  man  of  fine  character  and  keen  in- 
tellect. He's  an  outstanding  f  ootball 
coach  and  he's  devoted  to  Duke  Univer- 
sity." 

The  whole  Murray  family  is  devoted 
to  Duke  University.  Mrs.  Murray  is  the 
former  Carolyn  Kirby,  '32,  of  Decatur, 
Georgia.  They  have  three  daughters, 
Marilyn,  18,  who  is  now  a  freshman  at 
Duke;  Joy,  19,  a  sophomore  at  Delaware 
University;   and   Carol,   12. 

Letters 

(Continued  from  page  29) 

You  may  be  interested  to  know  that 
after  having  sung  the  Messiah  for  three 
years  with  the  Duke  choir,  I  felt  a  great 
desire  to  sing  it  again  this  year  some- 
where. Since  our  own  church  choir 
doesn't  present  the  work,  I  sought  for  and 
found  a  church  choir  for  just  that  oc- 
casion. Imagine  my  surprise  when  I 
learned  that  the  young  man  seated  next  to 
me  was  the  newly-elected  president  of  the 
Philadelphia  area  alumni  club,  and  al- 
though he  had  never  sung  with  the  Duke 
choir,  we  felt  that  the  University  was  well 
represented — especially  since  Dr.  Rankin's 
sister  is  a  member  of  the  same  church 
choir.  He  (Fred  Mann,  B.S.M.E.  '45)  is 
trying  to  round  up  -a  large  delegation  to 
attend  the  Duke-Penn  basketball  game 
here  on  January  3,  and  so  far,  I  think 
we  will  be  able  to  make  ourselves  heard 
when  the  Blue  Devils  appear.  Until  I 
met  Fred  at  choir  practice,  I  had  not  been 
in  contact  with  the  local  alumni  organi- 
zation at  all,  so  in  a  way,  it  was  a  rather 
lucky  coincidence  that  I  should  meet  him 
at  a  time  when  I  was  wondering  just  what 
the  alumni  group  of  Philadelphia  was 
going  to  do  when  the  team  came  to  town. 

I  would  like  very  much  to  contribute  to 
the  Duke  University  Development  Cam- 
paign, but  I  probably  won't  be  able  to  un- 
til sometime  in  the  spring  after  I  finish 
paying  my  tuition  fees  here  at  Penn.  How- 
ever, I  think  you  can  count  on  me  then, 
for  "I  consider  my  debt  to  Duke  far  greater 
than  anything  I  could  ever  hope  to  pay. 


deaths 


MART  YANN  O'BRIANT,  '31 
Mary  Vann  O'Briant,  '31,  one  of  North. 
Carolina's  four  supervisors  of  elementary

lampus  Interviews  on  Cigarette  Tests 

Number  5. ..the  opossum 


THE  class  clown  went  out  on  a  limb  and  tried  to  prove  cigarette 
mildness  by  tbe  quick-trick  method !  He  tried  the  fast  puff 
and  huff  test— a  whiff,  a  sniff— and  they  still  left  him  up  in  the  air! 
But  then  he  got  his  feet  on  the  ground.  He  learned  that  there 
is  a  reliable  way  to  discover  how  mild  a  cigarette  can  be ! 
And  that  test  is  . . . 

The  sensible  test . . .  the  30-Day  Camel  Mildness  Test  which  simply 
asks  you  to  try  Camels  as  a  steady  smoke— on  a  pack  after  pack, 
day  after  day  basis.  No  snap  judgments  needed.  After  you've 
enjoyed  Camels— and  only  Camels— for  30  days  in  your  "T-Zone" 
(T  for  Throat,  T  for  Taste),  we  believe  you'll  know  why . . . 


More  People  Smoke  Camels 

than  any  other  cigarette!

Following  is  a  letter  from  John  W.  Carr  III,  B.S.E.E.  '43,  son  of 
Dr.  John  W.  Carr,  Jr.,  '15,  Duke  professor  of  education.  John  is  a 
Massachusetts  Institute  of  Technology  student  now  working  on  his 
Ph.D.  dissertation  in  Paris  under  the  Fulbright  Act.  John  and  his 
wife,  Esther,  have  recently  become  the  parents  of  a  son,  Alan  Keenan 
Carr,  born  in  Paris  on  February  3. 

John  W.  Carr  III,  B.S.E.E.'43 

44  Rue  de  Fleurus,  Paris  6e,  Prance 

We  are  writing  this  on  a  brittle  sunless  day  which  is  all  too  typical 
of  the  winters  here  in  Paris.  The  electric  heater  at  our  feet  serves  to 
isolate  us  from  the  rest  of  our  sprawling  apartment,  for  it  is  only 
down  at  the  other  end  of  the  hall  that  a  spunky  coal  stove  tries  to  push 
off  the  encroaching  arctic  that  surrounds  it.  We  consider  ourselves 
lucky,  however,  to  have  this  place,  even  though  it  is  only  until  March 
15,  since  most  of  our  compatriots  are  scattered  throughout  the  city  in 
hotels  or  pensions,  or  else  sharing  apartments  wdth  others. 

Outside  the  window  runs  the  Rue  de  Fleurus.  The  morning  crowd 
of  students  rushing  to  the  College  Stanislas  nearby  has  quieted.  The 
scissors  grinder  across  the  street  has  stopped  shouting  his  trade  mo- 
mentarily. A  block  away  lies  legended  Montparnasse,  changed  from 
the  days  of  the  twenties  to  what  is  now  a  staid  commercialized  com- 
munity; the  literary  life  of  Paris  has  moved  up  the  Rue  de  Rennes 
away  from  us  to  St.  Germain  de  Pres.  Off  to  the  east  of  us  and  very 
near  are  the  Jardins  du  Luxembourg  which  have  dropped  their  summer 
gaiety  for  a  more  sombre  winter  hue.  Across  the  gardens  is  the  Sor- 
bonne,  unlike  any  university  in  America,  but  approached  more  nearly 
by  the  big  city  schools  like  New  York  and  Boston  Universities  in  its 
location,  lack  of  dormitories  and  campus-less  atmosphere.  At  one 
end  of  the  Quartier  Latin,  towards  the  south,  stand  the  graduate 
science  buildings,  the  Institut  de  Radium,  the  Institut  de  Physique  et 
Chimie,  and  the  Institut  Henri  Poincare.  John  attends  classes  at  the 
latter  institute  where  the  list  of  his  professors  includes  such  names 
as :  Darmois,  Paul  Levy,  Frechet,  Leray,  DeBroglie,  Mandelbrojt,  and 
several  Americans  who  are  here  for  the  year.  Just  around  the  corner 
from  us  is  the  Alliance  Francaise  where  Esther  studies  French  two 
hours  each  day  with  people  of  all  nationalities  who  are  anxious  to 
improve  their  knowledge  of  the  language.

THIS  MONTH'S  COVER 

Midway  between  winter's  snow  and  final  exams,  a  few  stu- 
dents find  youth  too  close  behind  to  l-esist  the  urge  to  launch 
a  kite  into  the  fresh  winds  of  March.  On  the  cover  this  month, 
three  serious-minded  upperclassmen  are  seen  studying  aerody- 
namics (or  perhaps  meteorology). 


JET  ENGINES— In  1941, 
the  Air  Force  asked  Gen- 
eral Electric  to  build  the 
first  U.S.  jet  engine.  To- 
day, G-E  engines  power 
such  fast  planes  as  the 
F-86  Sabre,  holder  of 
world's  speed  record. 


College  graduates  at  General  Electric  are  working  on 
some  of  the  nation's  most  vital  projects 


The  rocket  that  rises  a  hundred  miles  above  White 
Sands,  N.  M.,  contains  a  wonderfully  compact  device 
that  reads  28  instruments  every  one-thirty-fifth  of  a 
second  and  transmits  its  reports  to  receivers  on  the 
ground.  It  was  developed  by  G-E  engineers  .  .  . 

Development  of  special  communications  systems  for 
civil  defense  has  been  undertaken  by  G-E  electronics 
engineers  .  .  , 

The  newest  class  of  Navy  heavy  cruisers  helping  to 
guard  our  defense  line  gain  their  power  from  30,000- 
horsepower  propulsion  turbines  built  by  General 
Electric  .  .  . 


It  is  estimated  that  during  1951  more  than  30  per 
cent  of  General  Electric's  production  will  comprise 
projects  like  these  .  .  .  the  design  and  construction  of 
equipment  to  help  fill  America's  military  needs. 

The  hundreds  of  General  Electric  engineers,  physi- 
cists, chemists,  and  other  specialists  sharing  in  these 
projects  work  with  the  assurance  that  their  contribu- 
tions are  meaningful  and  important.  Their  talents  and 
skills,  further  developed  through  G-E  training  courses 
and  broadened  through  rotational  job  programs,  are 
standing  the  nation  in  good  stead.

Just  Ramblin 


In  the  Charlotte  Observer  on  January  29  the  follow- 
ing excerpt  appeared: 

"Unselfish  Philanthropy" 
"General  Mecklenburg, 
Charlotte  Observer, 
Charlotte,  N.  C. 
Dear  General : 

"I  think  that  the  judges  made  a  very  fine  selec- 
tion in  naming  Mr.  David  Ovens  Man  of  the  Year 
for  the  year  just  ended.  There  is  something  sort 
of  stimulating  about  philanthropy  that  is  consum- 
mated during  the  philanthropist's  lifetime.  It  is 
kind  of  like  serving  over  and  beyond  the  call  of 
duty,  and  is  distinctly  a  form  of  unselfishness.  The 
fact  that  a  good  part  of  Mr.  Ovens'  benevolence 
went  to  further  the  means  of  an  institution  (Duke 
University)  already  a  bit  top-heavy  with  means 
does  not  in  the  least  detract  from  that  unselfish- 
ness. Every  man  to  his  own  unselfishness,  I  always 
say. ' ' 

We  appreciate  the  fact  that  the  rest  of  the  article 
continued  in  a  very  complimentary  vein  in  regard  to  Mr. 
Ovens'  philanthropy  which  included  a  generous  gift  to 
Duke  University.  All  members  of  the  Duke  family  are 
deeply  grateful  to  Mr.  Ovens  for  his  thoughtful  gift 
which  has  been  expressed  in  this  publication  at  an  earlier 
date.  There  does,  however,  appear  in  the  article  a  note 
of  warning  to  alumni  and  friends.  It  is  so  subtle  that  it 
is  almost  lost. 

The  italicized  portion  of  the  item  has  a  special  in- 
terest to  each  alumnus  and  friend  of  the  institution. 
Although  every  effort  has  been  made  to  call  to  the  atten- 
tion of  the  members  of  the  family  and  the  public  at 
large  the  needs  of  the  institution,  it  seems  that  in  some 
cpiarters  this  information  has  fallen  on  deaf  ears.  There- 
fore, may  we  once  again  ask  that  each  alumnus,  if  he  is 
not  already  familiar  with  it,  acquaint  himself  with  the 
facts  about  Duke  and  tell  the  story  wherever  he  goes. 
Such  a  dissemination  of  information  on  the  part  of  the 
alumni  and  friends,  we  believe,  will  help  Duke  University 
materially  to  secure  additional  support,  and.  in  so  doing, 
enable  it  to  make  an  even  greater  contribution,  not  only 
to  the  State  of  North  Carolina,  but  to  the  Nation  and  to 
the  World. 


The  appointment  of  Dr.  James  Cannon  III.  as  Dean 
of  the  Duke  Divinity  School  has  been  received  with  en- 
thusiasm by  alumni  and  friends.  It  is  always  a  source  of 
genuine  satisfaction  when  an  appointment  to  a  position 
of  prominence  and  responsibility  in  the  University 
administration  is  enthusiastically  received. 

It  is,  however,  especially  gratifying  when  this  person 


is  an  alumnus  and  has  been  a  member  of  the  faculty  for 
many  years ;  for  it  means  that  an  able  teacher,  sound 
scholar  and  a  loyal  and  interested  alumnus  is  bringing  to 
a  job  a  background  of  experience  enriched  by  close  asso- 
ciation with  the  work  of  the  institution  that  has  made  it 
outstanding. 

We  are  sure  Dr.  Cannon  can  count  on  the  fullest  co- 
operation from  his  fellow  alumni  in  making  his  years  as 
Dean  of  the  Divinity  School  an  outstanding  contribution 
to  the  Church  and  in  the  field  of  education. 


The  following  excerpt  is  taken  from  a  newsletter 
which  is  published  by  the  Executive  Board  of  the  West- 
ern New  York  Alumni  of  Duke  University: 

"What  Is  the  Executive  Board?" 

"Since  the  present  group  of  officers  were 
elected  to  office  at  the  October  meeting,  the  prexy, 
Marvin  Rapp  has  been  calling  monthly  meetings 
to  see  what  the  collective  minds  could  offer. 

"The  Executive  group  was  inaugurated  during 
Johnny  Cree's  regime  and  is  now  functioning  on 
all  wheels. 

' '  Members  of  this  group  include  not  only  all  the 
officers  but  the  chairmen  of  the  important  com- 
mittees too.  May  we  add  that  their  advice  has  been 
especially  helpful  in  formulating  plans  for  our 
activities. 

"This  Alumni  organization  is  for  our  parents 
and  adopted  members  as  we  have  said  many  times 
before,  so  this  year  our  innovation  has  been  to  have 
them  serve  on  our  committees.  They  are  a  terrific 
asset  to  our  group  and  we  appreciate  their  help. 

"We  hope  the  Executive  Committee  will  be- 
come an  integral  part  of  our  set-up.  It  is  a  won- 
derful way  to  get  a  cross-section  of  ideas  from  our 
members. ' ' 

The  above  seemed  to  us  to  be  worthy  of  printing  as 
we  are  constantly  getting  letters  from  officers  of  local 
groups  asking  about  programs.  Perhaps  some  of  the  offi- 
cers who  are  seeking  suggestions  would  like  additional 
information  about  the  program  of  the  Buffalo  Associa- 
tion. If  so,  we  suggest  they  write  the  president,  Marvin 
Rapp.  at  60  Philadelphia  Street.  Buffalo.  N.  Y.,  or  send 
an  inquiry  to  the  Alumni  Office  and  we  will  see  that  he 
gets  it. 


This  is  a  reminder  that  Alumnae  Week  End  will  be 
the  6th.  7th,  and  8th  of  April.  The  committees  have  made 
interesting  plans.  All  they  need  to  execute  them  properly 
is  your  presence  and  participation.  You  know,  of  course, 
that  there  is  to  be  quite  an  innovation  this  year.  The 
returning  alumnae  are  to  get  a  real  sample  of  student 
life  as  it  is  on  the  campus  today.  Let  "hubby"  baby  sit 
and  join  the  rest  of  the  alumnae  when  they  return  for 
the  week  end.

Dr.  James  Cannon  Becomes  Divinity  Dean 


Thirty-two  years  of  distinguished  serv- 
ice to  the  University  were  climaxed  on  the 
s!xth  of  this  month  when  President  Hollis 
Edens  announced  that  Dr.  James  Cannon 
III,  Ivey  Professor  of  History  of  Religion 
and  Missions,  had  been  named  Dean  of 
the  Divinity   School. 

Dr.  Cannon  has  been  serving  as  acting 
lean  since  the  resignation  of  former  Dean 
Harold  A.  Bosley  last  June.  An  able  ad- 
ministrator, he  is  a  popular  choice  for 
the  post. 

A  member  of  the  Duke  faculty  since 
1919,  he  is  the  only  actively  teaching 
member  of  the  original  faculty  of  the 
Divinity  School,  organized  as  such  in 
1926. 

Said  President  Edens  in  announcing 
the  appointment :  "Under  his  leadership, 
we  anticipate  the  same  solid  growth  and 
development  for  the  Divinity  School  which 
has  characterized  its  history  for  the  past 
quarter  century." 

Dr.  Cannon  received  the  A.B.  degree 
from  Trinity  College  in  1914  and  the 
A.M.  degree  from  Princeton  in  1917.  Two 
other  Princeton  degrees,  the  Th.B.  and 
Th.M.  degrees,  were  awarded  Dr.  Cannon 
in  1925.  He  received  the  D.D.  degree 
from  Birmingham-Southern  in  193S,  and 
also  studied  at  Garrett  Biblical  Institute, 
Evanston,  111.,  and  New  College,  Edin- 
burgh,  Scotland. 

Dr.  Cannon,  son  of  the  late  Bishop 
James  Cannon,  was  ordained  a  minister 
of  the  Methodist  Church  in  1917.  He  is 
a  member  of  the  Virginia  Conference. 

The  new  Duke  dean  is  the  author  of  two 
books,  History  of  Southern  Methodist 
Missions,  and  A  Guid.e  to  the  Study  of 
the  English  Bible,  written  with  H.  E. 
Spence.  He  has  also  contributed  numer- 
ous articles  to  religious  and  lay  journals. 
At  one  time  he  was  editor  of  the  "Rich- 
mond Virginian"  and  business  manager  of 
the  Richmond  "Christian  Advocate,"  and 
is  now  advisory  and  corresponding  editor 
of  "The  Muslim  World." 

During  World  War  I,  Dr.  Cannon  was 
an  Army  Y.M.C.A.  worker  in  France 
and  Italy.  Later  he  became  senior  chap- 
lain with  the  rank  of  lieutenant  with  the 
First  Division  A.E.F.,  and  he  was  deco- 
rated by  France  with  the  Croix  de  Guerre. 

A  member  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  he  has 
for  many  years  been  secretary  of  the 
Duke   Chapter.     He  is  also  secretary  of 


Dr.  James  Cannon  III 

"he  learned   society,   Fellowship   of   Pro- 
fessors of  Missions. 

Dean     Cannon    succeeds    some    distin- 


guished theologians  in  the  Duke  Divinity 
ieanship.  The  first  dean,  Edmund  Soper, 
later  became  president  of  Ohio  Wesleyan 
University  and  is  now  doing  mission  work 
in  India.  Dr.  Elbert  Russell,  though  in 
",emi-retirement,  is  affiliated  with  the  Col- 
lege of  Gulf  States,  Mobile,  Ala.  Dr. 
Paul  N.  Garber  is  Bishop  of  the  Richmond 
Area  of  the  Methodist  Church,  and  Dr. 
Harvie  Branseomb  is  chancellor  of  Van- 
derbilt  University.  The  late  Dr.  Paul 
Root  died  before  taking  office  in  1947.  Dr. 
Gilbert  Rowe  was  acting  dean  1946-47; 
and  Dr.  Harold  A.  Bosley,  the  previous 
Divinity  Dean,  resigned  in  January,  1950, 
to  become  pastor  of  the  First  Methodist 
Church,   Evanston,   111. 

The  Duke  Divinity  School  is  one  of  ten 
approved  seminaries  of  the  Methodist 
Church  in  America.  It  is  a  member  of 
the  select  Association  of  Theological 
Schools.  This  year  the  enrollment  is 
nearly  200,  the  highest  on  record. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  Cannon,  the  former  Mar- 
garet Wagner  Faw  reside  at  S03  Second 
St.,  Durham.     Thev  have  one  son,  Walter.

At  the  regular  Sunday  service  for  wor- 
ship in  the  University  Chapel  at  11 :00 
a.m.,  April  8,  Dr.  Ray  Petry,  professor 
of  Church  History,  will  deliver  the  ser- 
mon, which  will  be  designed  with  return- 
ing alumnae  in  mind. 

In  addition  to  hearing  prominent  Duke 


faculty  members,  alumnae  will  be  able 
to  return  to  the  true  college  spirit  for 
this  Alumnae  Week  End,  for  it  is  being 
held  while  school  is  in  session  instead  of 
during  Spring  Vacation  as  in  previous 
years. 

The  program,  which  appeared  in  the 
February  Register,  was  planned  with 
suggestions  from  alumnae  in  mind,  and 
includes  a  variety  of  interesting  activi- 
ties, including  a  student  panel,  lectures 
by  outstanding  faculty  members,  pro- 
grams and  exhibits  featuring  music  and 
art,  and  plenty  of  time  for  coffee  hours 
and  for  visiting  the  campus. 

The  Friday  evening  coffee,  to  be  held 
in  East  Duke  Building  at  9 :00  o'clock 
is  being  sponsored  by  daughters  of  alum- 
nae, who  will  be  on  campus  at  the  same 
time  as  their  mothers  due  to  the  change 
in  time  of  the  Week  End  this  year.  The 
Saturday  coffee  hour,  at  9 :30  p.m.  in 
the  Woman's  College  Union,  is  to  be 
sponsored  by  Phi  Kappa  Delta.

Life  on  Board  the  Duke 
University 


Ensigns  for  Uncle  Sam 

Duke's  NROTC  Unit  Plays  Important  Role 


One  voice  ordered  "Port  ten.  Tivo-one- 
0  revolutions:"  Another  echoed  the  "Port 
ten"  and  a  third  repeated  the  "Tivo-one- 
0  revolutions." 

"Steady.  Midships,"  ordered  the  first 
voice  again.  Then  the  command  voice  lost 
that  sang-froid  which  seems  to  be  so 
necessary  on  the  Captain's  bridge  of  a 
ship  at  sea,  as  it  said  "Time's  up.  Let's 
go  ashore.  I've  got  a  date  at  Southgate 
in  half  an  hour." 

If  this  conversation  didn't  actually  take 
place,  it  very  well  could  have  happened 
at  Duke  University.  "Going  ashore" 
would  consist  of  walking  upstairs  and 
out  of  the  Indoor  Stadium,  a  portion 
of  which  has  been  set  aside  for  the  use 
of  the  Naval  Reserve  Officers'  Training 
Corps  unit.  The  young  Midshipmen  who 
made  the  above  statements  would  have 
been  working  out  on  the  "attack  teacher 
unit,"  a  set  of  instruments  which  simu- 
lates actual  shipboard  conditions  and  is 
used  to  give  future  naval  officers  training 
in  ship  control  and  anti-submarine  war- 
fare. 

The  Navy  has  been  at  Duke  since  1940, 


when  a  Naval  ROTC  unit  was  established 
here  as  a  part  of  the  pre-World  YVar  II 
military  preparations  program.  When 
war  finally  did  engulf  the  United  States, 
the  program  had  to  be  expanded  tre- 
mendously, so  Duke's  small  NROTC  unit 
was  absorbed  by  the  mammoth  V-12  pro- 
gram in  1942. 

Under  the  leadership  of  Captain  C.  P. 
McFeeters,  Duke's  naval  training  units 
turned  out  approximately  3,500  naval 
officers  between  1942  and  1.945.  TVith  the 
end  of  the  war,  the  V-12  program  was 
terminated,  but  the  NROTC  unit  was  en- 
larged  and   retained. 

The  Holloway  Plan 

Before  1946,  students  entered  NROTC 
training  on  a  contract  basis.  They  agreed 
to  take  the  required  number  of  courses  in 
Naval  Science,  to  devote  one  summer  to 
a  training  cruise,  and  to  accept  upon 
graduation  a  commission  in  the  Naval  or 
Marine  Corps  Reserve.  The  Navy,  in 
turn,  agreed  to  supply  the  students  with 
uniforms,  Naval  Science  textbooks  and 
equipment,  and  to  pay  them  a  subsistence 


Captain  Ealpli  Earle,  XKOTC  com- 
mandant, talks  with  freshmen  appli- 
cants at   entrance  to  XROTC  build- 


ing 


allowance  (currently  90  cents  a  day) 
during  the  last  two  years  of  their 
training. 

But  such  a  small  number  of  these  new 
officers  exercised  their  prerogative  of  go- 
ing on  active  duty,  applying  for  a  regu- 
lar Navy  commission,  and  becoming 
career  officers,  that  the  Navy  adopted  the 
Holloway  Plan  (Public  Law  729)  in 
1946.     About   half   of   the   Naval   Cadets 


Textbook  knowledge  is  given  a  chance  for  practical  appli- 
cation on  summer  cruises.  Here  students  are  given  a 
taste  of  salt  spray  necessary  to  the  making  of  an  ensign. 
Above  is  a  recent  Duke  group  at  sea. 


Naval  Science  and  Tactics  are  taught  by  experienced 
officers  of  the  regular  navy  in  Duke  classrooms.  XROTC 
classes  are  a  part  of  every  midshipman's  academic  course, 
as  he  prepares  for  service  with  fighting  forces.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  March,  1951 


now  at  Duke  are  under  the  new  plan, 
which  provides  college  scholarships  for 
young  men  who  can  meet  certain  rigorous 
physical   and   mental  requirements. 

First  they  must  show  their  mental  pro- 
ficiency by  making  a  certain  qualifying 
score  on  the  Navy  College  Aptitude  Test. 
Then  they  report  for  a  physical  examina- 
tion which  requires  near-perfection  for 
passing.  Finally,  those  who  are  still  in 
the  running  are  interviewed  and  carefully 
screened  for  personality,  attitude,  etc., 
and  are  scored  on  these  points.  The  top 
scorers  for  all  tests  are  selected  for  the 
scholarships  and  sent  to  an  NROTC 
college. 

The  Navy  scholarships  pay  all  college 
costs  such  as  fees,  tuition,  and  textbooks. 
The  winners  of  the  scholarships  are  ap- 
pointed Midshipmen  in  the  Navy,  are 
furnished  uniforms,  and  receive  retainer 
pay  at  the  rate  of  $50  per  month,  or  more 
at  certain  colleges  where  personal  ex- 
penses are  higher.  It  is  estimated  that 
the  value  of  a  Navy  scholarship  at  Duke 
is  $1200  per  year. 

Upon  graduation,  the  Midshipmen  re- 
ceive commissions  as  second  lieutenants 
in  the  Marine  Corps  or  ensigns  in  the 
Navy,  and  go  on  active  duty  for  from  15 
to  24  months.  They  then  have  a  choice 
of  becoming  career  officers,  or  of  giving 
up  their  regular  commissions  and  becom- 
ing Reserve  officers. 

Training  for  the  Midshipmen  is  the 
same  as  that  of  the  contract  students,  ex- 
cept that  the  Midshipmen  take  two  sum- 
mer cruises  instead  of  one. 

This  year's  graduating  class  at  Duke 
contains  the  first  group  to  finish  under 
the  Holloway  Plan.  All  50  students  in 
the  class  go  on  active  duty  immediately 
after  graduation,  44  to  the  Navy  and  six 
to  the  Marine  corps. 

Though  they  are  trained  on  dry  land, 
except  for  the  summer  cruises,  the  Naval 
Cadets  have  the  benefit  of  most  of  the 
equipment  they  would  be  using  were  they 
aboard  ship.  Their  armory  contains  all 
the  small  arms  currently  used  by  Navy 
personnel,  cut-away  torpedoes,  radios,  and 
ship  control  and  gun-aiming  devices. 
Several  large  guns,  turret-mounted  just 
as  they  would  be  aboard  ship,  give  the 
front  of  the  Indoor  Stadium  a  very  war- 
like appearance. 

Experienced  Officers  Teach 

And  most  important  of  all,  the  men 
who  train  the  Cadets  have  had  consid- 
erable practical  experience  in  their  re- 
spective fields.  Lt.  Robert  B.  Gustafson, 
USN,  the  submarine  officer,  has  served 
as  Gunnery  officer  on  the  U.S.S.  Nauti- 


Midshipmen  on  parade  give  Freshman  Field  a  brisk,  military  appearance. 
Fledgling  ensigns  learn  to  handle  rifles  like  infantrymen  and  step  smartly 
before  admiring  classmates. 


lus,  Engineering  Officer  of  the  IT.  S.  S. 
Sirago,  and  Communications  and  Navi- 
gation Officer  on  the  U.  S.  S.  Sennete. 

The  head  of  the  Duke  Naval  unit  is 
Captain  Ralph  Earle,  USN.  He  was  com- 
manding a  destroyer  at  the  time  of  the 
Pearl  Harbor  attack,  and  soon  thereafter 
sailed  out  to  harrass  Japanese  shipping 
around  Marshall,  Wake,  and  Marcus  Is- 
lands. Later  he  commanded  a  destroyer 
squadron,  and  was  on  the  staff  of  the 
Pacific  Fleet  Destroyer  Commander.  Be- 
fore coming  to  Duke,  he  was  Captain  of 
the  cruiser  Topeka. 

Commander  Clyde  Yan  Arsdall,  USN, 
second-in-command  of  the  staff,  has 
served  on  the  Atlantic  Amphibious  Force 
Staff,  and  during  the  war  commanded  the 
Destroyers  U.  S.  S.  Perry  and  U.  S.  S. 
Anthony. 

Lt.  Robert  P.  Brewer,  USN,  the  staff 
aviator,  has  flown  with  a  fighter-bomber 
squadron  on  the  U.  S.  S.  Bunker  Hill  and 
with  a  fighter  squadron  on  the  U.  S.  S. 
Midway. 

Captain  James  C.  Fetters,  USMC,  was 
with  the  Third  Marine  Division  at  Oki- 
nawa and  Iwo  Jima,  and  after  the  war 
was  in  the  Mediterranean  area  with  the 
Sixth  Fleet. 

These  men  teach  the  three  hours  per 
week  of  Naval  Science  classes  which  each 
Naval  Cadet  is  required  to  attend,  and 
supervise  the  additional  three  hours  each 
week   of   drill    or    practical   work.     They 


give  instruction  in  a  variety  of  subjects, 
such  as  navigation,  ship  control  and  sta- 
bility, amphibious  warfare,  and  the  mili- 
tary history  and  policy  of  the  United 
States. 

Normal  Student  Life 

Student  life  for  the  Naval  Cadets  is 
much  the  same  as  that  of  the  ordinary 
students  at  Duke.  During  their  four -year 
period  of  study,  they  must  complete  a 
total  of  24  semester  hours  work  in  Naval 
Science,  which,  for  one  semester,  is  about 
the  equivalent  of  a  theory  course  with  a 
laboratory  period  in  any  other  depart- 
ment. Except  for  these  periods,  their 
time  is  their  own,  to  carry  on  their  other 
studies  for  a  bachelor's  degree.  They  are 
not  even  required  to  wear  their  uniforms 
except  to  class  and  drill.  They  are  sub- 
ject to  very  few  disciplinary  regulations, 
except,  of  course,  that  as  future  officers 
they  are  expected  to  conduct  themselves 
as  gentlemen  at  all  times. 

The  sight  of  men  in  uniform  covering 
the  Duke  campus  is  a  constant  reminder 
that  the  future  is  uncertain,  that  these 
young  men,  trained  at  Duke,  may  very 
soon  have  a  very  important  and  very  di- 
rect influence  upon  world  affairs.  It  is 
reassuring  to  see  the  air  of  seriousness 
with  which  they  go  about  their  drills  and 
studies,  conscientiously  readying  them- 
selves for  the  responsibility  civilization 
is  soon  to  place  on  their  shoulders.

Hoof  'n'  Horn  Show  Draws 
Varied  Student  Talents 

Women  and  dirty  politics  in  a  turn- 
of-the-eentury  setting — that  is  the  theme 
of  Hoof  'n'  Horn's  spring  musical.  Belles 
and  Ballots.  The  club's  11th  annual  orig- 
inal show  is  scheduled  for  production  in 
Page  Auditorium  on  the  campus  Thurs- 
day and  Friday  nights,  April  19  and  20, 
at  8  :00  p.m. 

Hoof  V  Horn  is  a  campus  musical 
comedy  club,  made  up  entirely  of  stage- 
struck  undergraduates  who  each  year 
write,  direct,  produce  and  act  in  an  orig- 
inal musical  production.  Local  enthusi- 
asm has  run  so  high  in  recent  years  that 
encore  performances  were  demanded  of 
two  out  of  the  last  four  shows. 

Written  by  Ed  Newman,  from  Irving- 
ton,  N.  J.,  Belles  and  Ballots  traces,  in 
song  and  dance,  the  campaign  of  the  first 
woman  candidate  for  mayor  in  a  small 
mid-Western  town  in  1899.  Eighteen 
songs,  ranging  from  tender  ballads 
through  barbershop  quartets  to  raucous 
campaign  marches,  were  written  espe- 
cially for  the  club  production.  Comedy, 
songs,  and  original  dance  routines  are 
all  combined  in  the  unique  election  cam- 
paign. 

Lyrics  for  the  songs  were  written  by 
Bill  King,  Memphis,  Tenn. ;  Paul  Keye, 
Beverly  Hills,  Calif.;  and  Tom  Love, 
Durham.  Music  was  composed  by  Bud 
Fowler,  Bronxville,  N.  Y.,  Tom  Love,  and 
Bill  King. 

Ed  Nayor,  Bayonne,  N.  J.,  will  direct 
the  two-act  period  comedy.  Supervising 
and  directing  the  designing  and  construc- 
tion of  new  sets  is  technical  director  Mel 
Lord,  West  Caldwell,  N".  J.  The  student- 
built  sets  will  include  a  small-town  public 
square,  the  front  porch  of  the  woman 
campaigner,  a  picnic  site  in  a  park,  and 
the  smoke-filled  back  room   of  a  saloon. 

Starring  in  the  lead  role  of  a  woman 
candidate  for  mayor  is  Jackie  Hanna, 
Norfolk.  Va.  Al  Raywid,  Washington, 
D.  C,  will  oppose  her  assertion  of  wom- 
en's rights  as  the  small-town  political 
boss  whose  power  is  threatened.  Denny 
Marks,  New  York  City,  in  his  role  as  a 
Russian  butcher,  will  play  both  ends 
against  the  middle  while  trying  to  keep 
the  women's  business. 

Gay  McLawhorn,  Winterville,  N.  C, 
and  Bill  Dean,  Live  Oak,  Fla.,  will  supply 
romantic  interest  when  they  are  not  quar- 
reling over  just  what  a  woman's  status  is. 
Barbara  George,  High  Point,  N.  C,  will 
play  a  pig-tailed  brat  just  Mcked  out  of 
another  finishing  school,  who  tries  to 
throw  the  election  to  suit  her.    Her  un- 


' '  Oh,  no ! "  groans  mayorality  candidate  Jackie  Hanna  as  political  boss

April  19  and  20  on  the  Duke  campus. 


willing  lover  and  accomplice  will  be  Max 
Cooke,    Sarasota,  Fla. 

The  only  show  in  recent  years  to  have 
a  men's  dancing  chorus,  Belles  and  Bal- 
lots will  feature  eight  dancing  couples 
in  four  production  numbers.  A  mixed 
singing  group  of  20  will  back  up  the 
comic  plot  in  five  chorus  numbers,  and 
a  barbershop  quartet  and  a  ballet  group 
will  round  out  the  large  cast.  A  student 
orchestra    will   play   for   the   production. 

Ann  Carol  Hogue  will  direct  the  sing- 
ing choruses  and  arrange  the  chorus  num- 
bers. Suzie  Doherty  is  choreographer, 
and  Don  Hermance  is  orchestral  director. 

Ken  Taylor,  Statesville,  N.  C,  is  Hoof 
'n'  Horn  president  this  year.  Clif  Cooke, 
Danvers,  Mass.,  is  business  manager. 
Robert  B.  Fearing,  '30,  student  activities 
director,  is  adviser  to  the  group. 

As  proof  of  the  merit  of  the  music, 
Broadcast  Music,  Inc.,  New  York  pub- 
lishers, will  print  a  selection  of  songs 
from  this  year's  show  in  a  souvenir  folio 
including  pictures  of  the  cast.  BMI  pub- 
lished similar  booklets  for  the  past  Hoof 
'n'  Horn  shows  Lovintime  and  Flap  'er 
Sails. 

Tickets  for  the  production  are  $1.25 
each  and  all  seats  are  reserved.  Tickets 
are  now  on  sale  and  may  be  secured  by 
writing  Hoof  V  Horn,  Box  5224,  Duke 
Station,  Durham,  N.  C.  Mail  orders 
should  include  check  or  money  order,  a 
self-addressed  stamped  envelope,  and 
designation  of  performance  desired.  Res- 
ervations may  be  made  by  calling  Number 
112,  in  Durham,  Extention  484. 


Joe  College  Days  Return 

A  Joe  College  Days  Week  End, 
planned  for  April  19-21,  will  revive  a 
pre-war  tradition  of  springtime  festivi- 
ties on  the  Duke  Campus.  A  Shoe  'n' 
Slipper  dance  featuring  Les  Brown,  '36, 
and  his  "Band  of  Renown"  and  the  Hoof 
'n'  Horn  musical,  Belles  and  Ballots, 
will  highlight  the  week  end. 

In  addition  to  the  dance  and  musical, 
a  full  program  of  entertainment  is 
planned.  There  will  be  a  parade  through 
the  business  district  of  Durham  on  Fri- 
day, featuring  the  Joe  College  theme. 
After  the  parade,  East  Campus  will  hold 
open  houses,  and  there  will  be  field  day 
events  on  the  lawn  of  the  main  quad- 
rangle. Coeds  will  decorate  houses  on 
East  to  carry  out  the  theme,  and  prizes 
will  be  awarded  for  the  best  display. 
At  5  :00  there  will  be  an  exchange  supper 
for  East  and  West  Campus  students  in 
the  Woman's  College  Union. 

Following  the  second  performance  of 
Belles  and  Ballots  Friday  evening,  stu- 
dents dressed  in  costumes  satirizing  col- 
lege togs  will  attend  an  informal  dance 
with  music  provided  by  Les  Brown. 

On  Saturday,  at  the  end  of  the  fourth 
period,  there  will  be  a  fried  chicken,  box 
lunch  picnic  served  by  the  Union  on  the 
lawn  of  the  main  quadrangle  of  West 
campus. 

Shoe  'n'  Slipper  is  inviting  all  stu- 
dents to  an  outdoor  concert  by  Les 
Brown  from  1  to  3 :30  Saturday  after- 
noon in  the  dormitory  quadrangle  on

Religious  Emphasis  Week 
Draws  Student  Interests 

The  past  month  has  been  a  busy  one 
for  the  Divinity  School  and  for  all  stu- 
dents and  faculty  interested  in  Christian 
living.  Religious  Emphasis  Week,  Mis- 
sionary Emphasis  Week,  and  a  Christian 
Career  Clinic  were  held  on  the  Duke 
Campus  during  the  month  of  February. 

The  Methodist  Student  Fellowship 
sponsored  a  campus  career  clinic  on 
Christian  vocation  February  4-6.  Several 
outstanding  speakers  came  to  the  cam- 
pus to  present  the  needs  and  opportuni- 
ties for  service  in  various  fields  of  Chris- 
tian endeavor,  emphasizing  both  church 
vocations  and  Christian  service  for  lay- 
men. The  aim  of  the  clinic  was  to  lead 
students  toward  preparation  for  and 
commitments  to  Christian  service  while 
in  college. 

Five  prominent  religious  leaders  ad- 
dressed Divinity  School  students  and  fac- 
ulty at  the  annual  Missionary  Emphasis 
Week  February  6-9,  which  is  designed  to 
stimulate  student-faculty  interest  in  mis- 
sion work  and  to  recruit  new  mission- 
aries. There  are  about  25  Duke  alumni 
now  serving  as  missionaries  of  the  Meth- 
odist Church. 

This  year's  program  was  under  the 
direction  of  Dr.  James  Cannon  III,  dean 
of  the  Divinity  School,  and  Donal 
Squires,  chairman  of  the  Missions  Com- 
mittee, Divinity  School  Student  Assembly. 
Featured  speakers  were  Dr.  Eugene'  L. 
Smith,  executive  secretary  of  the  Divi- 
sion  of   Foreign   Missions   of  the   Board 


of  Missions  and  Church  Extension  of  the 
Methodist  Church,  New  York  City;  Dr. 
Karl  Quimby,  educational  secretary  of 
the  Board;  Dr.  J.  A.  Engle,  executive 
secretary  of  the  Board's  Division  of  Edu- 
cation and  Cultivation;  the  Reverend  M. 
0.  Williams,  secretary  of  the  Board's 
Department  of  Missionary  Personnel ; 
and  the  Reverend  Archer  R.  Turner, 
B.D.,  '45,  former  Methodist  missionary 
to  Korea.  The  Missionary  Emphasis 
Week  ended  with  a  service  of  thanksgiv- 
ing and  intercession  for  Duke  mission- 
aries in  service  led  by  Professor  James 
T.    Cleland,   preacher   to   the   University. 

Students  and  faculty  alike  joined  in 
the  activities  of  the  annual  Religious 
Emphasis  Week,  held  February  18  to  21. 
The  theme  of  the  week  this  year  was  "Is 
Life    a    Gamble,    Chance    or    Certainty?" 

Bishop  Gerald  Kennedy,  of  Portland, 
Ore.,  and  the  Reverend  Robert  H.  Ham- 
ill  of  Burlington,  Iowa,  were  leaders  of 
the  four-day  program.  North  Carolina 
ministers  participating  in  Religious  Em- 
phasis Week  included  Bishop  Vincent 
Waters  of  Raleigh,  and  Father  John 
Weidinger  and  Rabbi  Samuel  Perlman 
of  Chapel  Hill.  Patt  McAllister  and  Jack 
Blackburn  were  student  co-chairmen  of 
the    Steering    Committee    for   the    Week. 

President  Edens  presided  at  the  initial 
service,  which  was  held  in  the  University 
Chapel.  Delivering  the  sermon  on  "Gam- 
blers At  the  Cross"  was  Bishop  Kennedy. 
Mr.  Hamill,  speaking  on  "The  Dead  Gods 
and  the  Living  God,"  was  featured  at  an 
interdenominational  meeting  that  evening. 
Following  the  usual  Sunday  Night  Sing, 
a  question  period  was  held,  with  Bishop

Extra-CurrieuJar  Courses 

Extra-curricular  courses  in  the  fields  of 
nutrition,  recreation  leadership,  and 
French,  which  are  intended  to  prepare 
coeds  for  service  to  the  community  in 
the  event  of  a  national  emergency,  are 
now  being  made  available  to  students  in 
the  Woman's  College  of  Duke  University. 

These  courses  do  not  receive  academic 
credit.  They  are  comparable  to  the 
nurses'  aid  program,  and  no  fees  are 
charged.  All  the  classes  are  necessarily 
limited  in  number  of  attendance,  and  in- 
terested students  are  making  their  appli- 
cations through  house  counsellors. 

The  nutrition  course  of  12  lessons  con- 
"erns  community  feeding.  It  is  to  be  con- 
ducted by  Miss  Isabelle  Howe,  dietician, 
and  Miss  Mary  McCormic,  visiting  in- 
structor in  physical  education,  each 
Tuesday  and  Thursday  evening.  The 
group  will  cover  such  subjects  as  balanc- 
ing a  menu,  economics  of  foods  and  food 
preparation.  The  class  will  work  in 
units  planning  a  series  of  meals  to  be 
fed  to  large  groups,  and  the  course  will 
culminate  in  a  practical  application  of 
feeding  the  entire  campus,  possibly  on 
Kite  Da\r  in  April. 

Mrs.  Martha  G.  Swasey,  assistant  pro- 
fessor of  physical  education,  will  conduct 
the  course  in  recreation  leadership  which 
will  be  taught  every  Thursday  evening. 
This  course  will  cover  such  topics  as  lead- 
ing games,  singing,  dramatics,  teaching 
square  dancing  and  ballroom  dancing,  and 
crafts. 

The  French  project  under  the  leader- 
ship of  Jean-Jacques  Demorest,  assistant 
professor  of  Romance  Languages,  is  de- 
signed for  those  who  wish  additional  op- 
portunities in  French  for  use  in  travel, 
foreign  study,  teaching,  or  as  a  back- 
ground for  study  toward  filling  such  posi- 
tions as  interpreter,  translator,  or  secre- 
tary in  government  or  overseas  service. 
Only  those  who  have  completed  or  are  eur- 
rentlv  taking  French  52  are  eligible.

Local  Association  Meetings 


New  York 

A  turkey  dinner  and  a  few  words  of 
greeting  from  Dr.  Paul  M.  Gross,  vice- 
president  in  the  Educational  Division  and 
dean  of  the  Graduate  School  of  Arts  and 
Sciences,  were  featured  at  the  annual  ban- 
quet of  the  New  York  Alumni  Associa- 
tion on  February  16. 

The  banquet  and  dance  was  held  in  the 
Wedgwood  Room  and  Ballroom  of  the 
Beekman  Tower  Hotel.  The  Executive 
Committee  went  all  out  to  give  the  alumni 
a  social  event,  they  will  long  remember. 
Uninterrupted  dancing  was  a  highlight 
of  the  event,  and  the  business  meeting- 
was  limited  to  thirty  minutes.  Dress  was 
informal  and  all  enjoyed  an  evening  of 
fun  and  relaxation,  getting  together  with 
old  friends,  meeting  fellow  alumni,  and 
hearing  about  Duke  doings. 

Union- Anson  County 

A  large  group  of  alumni  in  Union  and 
Anson  counties  met  on  February  19  at 
the  Methodist  Church  in  Monroe,  N.  C, 
for  the  Association's  annual  dinner  meet- 
ing. S.  Glenn  Hawfleld,  '15,  presided 
over  the  meeting  and  was  in  charge  of 
the  arrangements. 


Dr.  Charles  E.  Jordan,  '23,  Vice-Presi- 
dent in  the  Division  of  Public  Belations 
and  Secretary  of  the  University  repre- 
sented Duke  and  spoke  on  the  University's 
heritage,  its  history  and  its  present  needs. 
Thomas  D.  Donegan  of  the  Alumni 
Office  staff  accompanied  Dr.  Jordan  to 
the  meeting  and  showed  the  gathering 
movies  of  the  1950  Duke-Pittsburgh  game. 

Catawba  County 

The  annual  dinner  meeting  of  alumni  in 
Catawba  County  was  held  on  February 
21  at  the  Lake  Hickory  Country  Club. 
Sixty-six  members  and  their  guests  at- 
tended with  Clinton  T.  Andrews,  '26,  vice- 
president  of  the  chapter  presiding  in  the 
absence  of  R.  E.  "Buddy"  Luper,  '47. 
Principal  speakers  for  the  occasion  were 
Charles  A.  Dukes,  '29,  director  of  Alumni 
Affairs,  and  Dan  W.  Hill,  '39.  assistant 
to  Director  of  Athletics.  Mr.  Dukes  ad- 
dressed the  group  on  the  University's 
past,  present  and  future  and  Mr.  Hill 
discussed  Duke  sports,  showing  a  film  of 
the  1950  Duke-North  Carolina  football 
game. 

Attorney  G.  Andrew  Warlick,  '13,  of 
Newton,   former  state  senator   from   this 


district,  was  elected  president  of  the 
Catawba  alumni  group  for  the  coming 
year.  Other  officers  named  were  Dr.  A. 
L.  Ormond,  '24,  of  Hickory,  vice-presi- 
dent; Dorothy  Long  Isenhower  (Mrs. 
Sam),  '40,  of  Newton,  and  Mary  Aber- 
nathy  Rader  (Mrs.  William),  '41,  secre- 
tary -treasurer ;  and  Mary  Henderson 
Willis  (Mrs.  Enimett),  '36,  of  Hickory, 
and  Evelyn  Bolick  Wanzer  (Mrs.  C.  R.), 
'40,  of  Conover,  representatives  of  the 
Alumni  Council. 

Philadelphia,  Pa. 

The  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  Duke  Alumni 
Association  has  had  a  busy  winter.  Their 
largest  social  venture  of  the  season  was 
their  first  annual  dance  held  at  Plymouth 
Country  Club,  Norristown,  Pa.,  on  Feb- 
ruary 16.  Approximately  70  Duke 
alumni  and  their  friends  attended  the 
gala  affair.  The  orchestra  provided  a 
fine  variety  of  music  to  suit  everyone's 
taste.  Highlights  of  the  occasion  included 
a  jitterbug  contest,  elimination  dances, 
and  spot  dances.  A  midnight  snack  pro- 
vided  a   perfect  climax  for  the  evening. 

The  1951  officers  for  the  Duke  Uni- 
versity Alumni  Association  of  Philadel- 
phia and  vicinity  are :  Frederick  Mann, 
Jr.,  B.S.M.E.  '45,  president;  Dewey  Rob- 
bins,  '25,  vice-president ;  Margaretta 
Aeugle,  '44,  secretary;  Gordon  Gerber, 
'43,  treasurer;  and  Nancy  Hunter,  '46, 
corresponding  secretary. 


Sunday  School  Teaching 
Results  Are  Questioned 

Hampton  M.  Jarrell,  Ph.D.  '32,  is  the 
author  of  an  article  published  in  the  De- 
cember, 1950,  Atlantic  entitled  "Sunday 
Schools  Don't  Teach."  As  a  professor 
of  English  at  Winthrop  College  in  South 
Carolina  since  1932  he  had  learned  that 
a  huge  majority  of  his  students  were 
almost  completely  lacking  in  knowledge 
of  Biblical  history  and  personalities,  and 
upon  further  investigation  he  found  that 
many  were  vague  and  confused  about 
their  religious  and  ethical  beliefs.  He 
was  more  puzzled,  he  said,  to  learn  that 
many  of  these  students  had  attended 
Sunday  School  regularly,  some  for  as 
long  as  15  years. 

Seeking  the  cause  for  this  deficiency. 
Dr.  Jarrell  read  all  the  Sunday  School 
literature  then  in  use  in  the  young 
peoples'  departments  of  his  home  Meth- 
odist  church,  and  found,  not  studies  on 


the  basic  Christian  principles,  nor  a  sys- 
tematic revelation  of  a  religious  heritage, 
but  lessons  in  sociology,  political  science, 
economics,  and  international  relations, 
expounded  with  an  assurance  of  divine 
authority  which  makes  easy  the  solution 
of  the  most  complex  social  problems. 

The  Christian  Church  has,  at  various 
times  in  history,  weakened  its  hold  on 
men's  minds  by  trying  to  make  dogmatic 
theology  a  substitute  for  the  natural  sci- 
ences, says  Dr.  Jarrell,  and  now  many 
churches  are  making  the  same  mistake 
with  the  social  sciences. 

Far  too  often  theology  offers  a  seduc- 
tive shortcut  to  social  wisdom  that  makes 
the  way  of  knowledge  look  narrow, 
rough,  and  a  long  way  around,  with  the 
added  implication  that  those  who  refuse 
to  take  this  short-cut  are  damned. 

If  the  Sunday  Schools  are  to  do  their 
job,  he  concludes,  they  must  return  to 
the  long-abandoned  policy  of  educating 
children  in  fundamental  Christian  prin- 
ciples. 


Promoted  to  Colonel 

Henry  H.  Rogers,  A.M.  '29,  has  been 
promoted  to  the  rank  of  colonel  at 
United  States  Army  European  Command 
headquarters  in  Heidelberg,  Germany. 
He  is  chief  of  the  scientific  and  technical 
section  of  the  Intelligence  division  at 
Command  headquarters. 

Colonel  Rogers  entered  the  Army  in 
September,  1941.  During  World  War  II 
he  served  in  the  Pacific  Theater  of  Opera- 
tions as  commanding  officer  of  an  infan- 
try battalion  of  the  98th  division.  He 
returned  to  the  United  States  in  March, 
1946,  and  became  an  instructor  at  the 
Command  and  General  Staff  College, 
Fort  Leavenworth,  Kans.  He  arrived  in 
the  European  Command  in  August,  1949. 

With  the  colonel  in  Heidelberg  are  his 
wife,  Susan,  their  two  children,  David, 
15,  and  Cornelia,  13,  and  Mrs.  Rogers' 
mother,  Mrs.  Susan  A.  Porterfield.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  March,  1951 


Career  of  the  Rev.  Hinohara 
Leaves  Imprint  on  Japanese 


In  September  of  1948  an  interesting- 
letter  reached  the  Alumni  Office.  It  came 
from  Japan,  and  contained  an  epic  apolo- 
gy from  a  graduate  of  Trinity  College  for 
"not  having  done  my  duty  as  one  of 
Duke's  sons." 

The  author,  Zensuke  Hinohara,  '03, 
A.M.  '04,  then  71  years  of  age,  went  on  to 
explain  that  he  had  been  rather  busy 
since  his  graduation  and  had  not  been  able 
to  do  anything  about  his  obligations  to 
his  alma  mater,  but,  he  said,  "Ever  since 
I  left  Trinity  43  years  ago  I  have  never 
failed  to  be  deeply  conscious  that  I  am  its 
own  old  boy  and  owe  to  it  so  much  for 
what  I  am  today." 

Mr.  Hinohara  had,  indeed,  been  rather 
busy,  nor  has  his  pace  slackened  during 
the  past  two  and  one-half  difficult  years. 
He  had  been  actively  preaching  during 
the  whole  intervening  time  since  his  grad- 
uation and  had  raised  funds  for  the  con- 
struction of  three  large  churches  (and  in 
Japan  this  is  no  easy  task).  He  had 
been  a  college  president  for  12  years,  and 
for  three  years  was  the  executive  secre- 
tary of  the  United  Church  of  Christ  in 
Japan,  a  council  made  up  of  representa- 
tives of  all  the  Christian  churches  there. 
At  the  time  of  the  letter,  he  was  serving 
as  president  of  the  Ministers'  Association 
of  the  Tokyo  district,  which  has  over  300 
churches. 

He  had  returned  to  America  but  twice 
since  his  graduation  from  Duke — once  for 
some  further  study  at  Union  Theological 
Seminary  in  New  York,  in  1911,  and  again 
to  rest  and  regain  the  health  he  had  lost 
in  working  too  hard  for  the  construction 
of  the  Kobe  Central  Methodist  Church  in 
1925.  That  year  he  returned  to  Duke  for 
a  visit,  and  led  the  prayer  at  Commence- 
ment. 

War  Brings  Silence 

When  Mr.  Hinohara  first  came  to  Duke 
in  1901,  he  formed  fast  friendships  with 
the  late  Edward  O.  Egerton,  '03,  and 
Frank  X.  Egerton,  '09,  A.M.  '11,  now  on 
the  Duke  faculty.  He  went  home  with 
them  during  holidays,  where  he  met  and 
captivated  the  other  members  of  the  Eger- 
ton family.  After  his  return  to  Japan 
he  wrote  to  them  often,  and  visited  them 
during  subsequent  stays  in  America. 
Later,  however,  his  duties  increased  and 
took  such  a  hold  on  him  that  his  letters 
became  less  frequent  and  finally  stopped 
altogether.  Friends  in  America  thereafter 
had  no  news  of  him  for  many  years,  ex- 


cept for  a  story  in  a  Methodist  Missionary 
magazine  which  told  of  his  service  as 
president  of  the  Methodist  College  for 
Girls  at  Hiroshima,  and  messages  from 
occasional  visitors  to  Japan  who  found 
him  hard  at  work. 

The  war  closed  the  curtain  of  communi- 
cation completely.  And  in  1945,  when 
the  news  came  that  almost  900  girls  at  the 
Hiroshima  Girls'  College  were  casualties 
in  the  atom  bomb  explosion,  the  Egertons 
thought  that  they  would  hear  no  more  of 
their  friend. 

But  in  1947  the  same  missionary  maga- 
zine again  brought  news  to  his  friends 
through  a  picture  and  information  that  he 
was  then  pastor  of  a  church  in  Tokyo. 
He  had  reached  the  age  of  65  in  1942, 
"id  so  had  been  retired  as  president  of 
the  college  before  the  bombing.  Unwilling 
to  stop  preaching,  however,  he  had  taken 
a  pastorate  in  a  small  chapel  in  Tokyo, 
had  built  up  the  congregation  so  much 
fiat  the  old  meeting  place  was  outgrown, 
and  so  was  supervising  the  financing  and 
construction  of  a  new,  larger  church  and 
parsonage. 

When  Mrs.  Blanche  Egerton  Baker,  a 


younger  sister  of  the  boys  Zensuke  had 
known  at  Trinity,  wrote  to  him,  he  an- 
swered quickly  and  enthusiastically.  In 
the  following  months  several  letters  were 
exchanged,  and  Zensuke  told  all  that  had 
befallen  him  since  his  student  clays. 

A  Sudden  Decision 

When  he  first  came  to  America  he  had 
planned  to  prepare  himself  to  teach  Eng- 
lish and  English  Literature  in  Japan.  His 
decision  to  go  into  the  ministry  came 
about  in  this  way :  He  was  in  church,  and 
had  just  heard  the  pastor  make  a  request 
for  contributions  to  the  missionary  fund. 
"When  the  offering  was  announced  and 
the  plates  were  traveling  from  seat  to 
seat,  I  felt  my  very  last  silver  coin,  (a 
quarter)  in  my  pocket  for  my  offering, 
while  others  had  so  much  more.  I  was 
so  ashamed  of  myself  and  said  to  myself, 
'Is  that  all  that  you  can  give  to  the  Lord 
for  the  very  service  you  have  to  render 
for  your  own  country  while  all  others  are 
doing  even  more  for  your  country  and 
for  your  unsaved  people?  Oh  Lord,  do 
thou  accept  this  my  last  coin  with  this 
very  myself.' " 

Zensuke  Hinohara  pledged  himself  that 
morning  to  become  a  preacher  and  pastor, 
and  he  has  been  that  from  1906  to  the 
present.  -Even  when  appointed  president 
of  a  college,  he  accepted  on  condition  that

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  March,  1951 


[  Page  67  ] 


he  could  serve  as  the  college  chaplain  also. 

During  his  stay  at  Hiroshima,  Hinohara 
secured  official  recognition  for  the  college, 
*nd  obtained  a  new,  larger,  and  more 
pleasant  site  for  it,  on  which  it  was  re- 
constructed after  the  war.  He  had  a 
continuous  struggle  against  the  "mili- 
taristic pressure,''  for  the  college  was 
located  between  a  great  army  and  a  great 
naval  base.  In  spite  of  repressing  in- 
fluences, Hinohara  continued  the  daily 
hapel  services,  and  preached  every  Sun- 
day in  the  college  church. 

Telling  of  his  present  work,  he  has 
said :  "After  I  finished  my  term  of  service 
at  Hiroshima  eight  years  ago,  I  came  up 
to  Tokyo  with  my  wife  and  our  youngest 
daughter  Tamy,  and  accepted  the  place 
as  pastor  of  Tamagawa-Heian  (Peace) 
church.  Despite,  the  acute  situation  of 
the  war,  my  congregation  kept  on  grow- 
ing until  the  joint  room  proved  inade- 
quate. A  year  ago  we  completed  both  a 
new  church  building  and  parsonage  to 
■>'ove  in.  My  congregation  is  not  well  off 
financially.  But  they  have  done  more 
than  they  could  afford,  being  self-saerifie- 
ingly  responsible  for  the  costly  church  lot 
and  church  building,  one  of  the  very  best 
in  the  country." 

Mr.  Hinohara  promised  his  congrega- 
tion he  would  finance  one  wing  of  the 
church  and  the  whole  parsonage  himself, 
if  they  could  raise  the  funds  for  the  lot 
and  the  rest  of  the  church.  He  also  raised 
the  money  for  the  church  furniture. 

Mrs.  Baker,  in  one  of  her  letters,  asked 
the  minister  what  she  could  send  him.  He 
told  her  that  they  needed  most  of  all 
suger,  coffee,  and  baking  powder,  and 
asked  also  for  a  typewriter  ribbon,  a  bot- 
tle of  ink,  shaving  soap,  and  especially 
some  tooth  powder,  "which  I  so  enjoy  to 
use  when  my  heavily  scheduled  day's  work 
is  over  late  at  night  just  before  my  last 
talk  with  my  Abba  Father  in   Heaven." 

When  the  package  came,  it  was  some- 
thing Americans  regard  as  a  simple  neces- 
sity for  which  Hinohara  made  his  most 
elaborate  thanks — dental  cream.  It 
pleased  him,  he  said,  so  much  that  he 
always  spent  a  few  minutes  by  his  window 
in  grateful  prayer  after  using  it. 

Now  74  years  old,  thK  alumnus  still 
puts  in  more  than  a  day's  work  each  day. 
He  prepares  daily  devotionals  and  Bible 
studies  for  distribution  to  the  Methodist 
churches  in  Japan,  carries  out  his  duties 
as  executive  secretary  of  the  United 
Church  of  Christ  in  Japan  and  as  pastor 
of  his  church. 

And  also,  he  writes  sadly,  now  again  he 
prays  for  peace  each  day. 


New  Mechanical 
Is  Made 


Brain' 


Donald  Jacobs,  A.M.  '37,  of  Bethesda, 
Md.,  who  founded  the  Jacobs  Instru- 
ment Company  about  three  years  ago, 
has  developed  a  revolutionary  new  digit- 
al computer,  or  "electrical  brain,"  which, 
though  no  bigger  than  an  overnight  bag, 
solves  complicated  equations  in  mil- 
lionths  of  a  second. 

The  machine  is  the  "Jaincomp  A." 
Weighing  forty  pounds,  it  is  a  miniature 
variation  of  the  giant  electrical  brains 
which  are  used  by  great  research  lab- 
oratories to  solve  the  most  complicated 
mathematical  problems. 

Mr.  Jacobs  says  that  the  machine 
"offers  for  the  first  time  to  industry  an 
ultra-high-speed  and  exceedingly  accurate 
electronic  brain  for  controlling  opera- 
tions of  great  complexity.''  Accuracies 
of  one  part  in  a  billion  can  be  obtained, 
and  as  for  speed,  the  slowest  unit  of  the 
Jaincomp  can  add  two  sixteen-digit  num- 
bers in  forty-eight  millionths  of  a  second. 

Before  founding  his  company,  Jacobs 
was  with  the  Bureau  of  Standards,  the

Alumna  Will  Re[ire  as  Dean 

Leah  Boddie,  A.M.  '25,  is  the  first  and 
only  dean  of  students  at  New  Jersey  Col- 
lege for  Women,  Rutgers  University.  At 
the  end  of  this  academic  year,  she  plans 
to  retire. 

Miss  Boddie  was  appointed  to  the 
young  institution  in  1926  when  the  en- 
rollment was  697.  This  year,  as  she 
rounds  out  a  quarter  of  a  century  of  de- 
voted service,  the  enrollment  has  in- 
creased to  1,325. 

Under  her  guidance,  a  student  life 
counselling  program  has  been  built  up 
which  has  as  its  primary  duty  making 
the  general  college  experience  a  positive 
contribution  to  mature  living.  Dean  Bod- 
die and  her  staff,  an  assistant  to  the  dean 
and  seven  directors  of  student  life,  have 
worked  closely  with  every  department  of 
the  College,  including  the  teaching  staff. 
They  have  co-ordinated  all  phases  of 
counselling  and  directed  this  knowledge 
toward  the  complete  development  of  the 
individual  student. 

A  native  of  Durham,  Dean  Boddie  re- 
ceived her  bachelor's  degree  from  the 
Woman's  College  of  the  University  of 
North  Carolina  and  her  master's  degree 
from  Duke.  Before  accepting  the  posi- 
tion at  the  New  Jersey  College  for  Wom- 
en, she  served  as  dean  of  women  at  the 
Duke  University  Summer  School,  as  a 
history  teacher  in  the  Durham  High 
School,  and  as  principal  of  a  grammar 
school  in  Durham. 

Dean  Boddie  has  been  active  in  the 
National  Association  of  Deans  of  Wom- 
en. She  was  co-founder  and  first  presi- 
dent of  the  New  Jersey  Association  of 
Deans  of  Women,  now  the  New  Jersey 
Association  of  Deans  and  Counselors.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  March,  1951 


Campaign  Goes  Over  $6,000,000  Mark 

Total  Counts  Gifts  Offered  if  Matching  Sums  Are  Given 


Early  this  month  the  Duke  University 
Development  Campaign  climbed  over  the 
$6,000,000  mark,  three-fourths  of  the  way 
to  the  1950-51  goal  of  $8,650,000  and  half 
way  to  the  ultimate  goal  of  $12,000,000. 

The  gift  that  brought  the  total  up  over 
the  mid-way  hurdle,  and  turned  the  cur- 
rent campaign  into  the  home  stretch  of 
its  final  quarter,  was  one  of  less  than  $100 
from  an  alumnus  recently  graduated  and 
now  residing  some  2,000  miles  from  the 
Duke  campus.  The  note  received  with  it 
was  typical  of  many  received  on  other 
days  with  other  gifts :  "This  is  a  token 
of  what  Duke  has  meant  to  me — and  my 
hope  that  it  will  mean  as  much  to  others 
in  years  ahead." 

The  jubilation  caused  in  campaign 
headquarters  by  this  significant  milestone 
brought  this  remark  from  University 
Vice-President  Charles  E.  Jordan:  "This 
s  really  illustrative  of  what  smaller  gifts 
mean  to  the  campaign.  Yesterday  we 
were  counting  five  millions  of  dollars — 
today  it  is  six." 

The  epic-making  gift  was  quickly  fol- 
'owed,  in  subsequent  mails,  by  other  con- 
tributions that  began  to  push  the  cam- 
paign onward  and  upward  toward  its 
seventh  million  and  toward  the  goals  in 
"Brains,  Books,  and  Bricks"  that  will 
make  Duke  greater  in  its  service  to  "the 
future  hour." 


PROGRESS— AT  A  GLANCE 

Below,  in  the  form  of  a  simple  arithmetic  problem,  is  the  story  of  the 
progress  made  by  the  Duke  University  Development  Campaign  to  date  and  the 
progress  that  must  be  made  within  the  next  three  months  to  reach  the  1950-51 
goal  of  $8,650,000. 

The  greater  portion  of  the  balance  remaining  to  be  raised  must  come  from 
individual  alumni  and  friends  through  local  campaigns,  in  gifts  both  large 
and  small.  Many  must  give,  for  now  success  lies  in  numbers — the  number  of 
those  who  will  share  in  Duke's  future. 

Gifts  during  preliminary  phase  (1949-50) $2,000,000.00 

(plus)  Gifts  from  the  City  of  Durham  Campaign 238,860.00 

(plus)   Gifts  from  Faculty-Staff  Campaigns 90,272.58 

(plus)  Gifts  from  Alumni-Friends  Campaigns  to  date 704,452.47 

(plus)  Gifts  contingent  upon  matching  amounts 3,000,000.00 

TOTALLING .$6,033,585.05 

(plus)  The  Amount  Still  to  Be  Raised  by  June  30 $2,616,414.95 

TOTALLING _$8,650,000.00 


Matching  Money  is  Needed 

Half  of  the  $6,000,000  comes  from  the 
two  contingent  gifts  made  some  weeks  ago 
by  the  General  Education  Board  and  an 
anonymous  donor.  Each  of  these  gifts, 
it  will  be  recalled,  was  for  $1,500,000,  and 
receipt  by  the  University  was  made  con- 
ditional upon  alumni  and  friends  raising 
a  dol!ar-for-dollar  matching  amount. 

The  campaign  to  raise  this  matching 
amount  is,  according  to  reports  from  local 


Faculty-Staff  Campaigns  Pass  $90,000 


The  faculty  and  staff  campaigns  for  the  De- 
velopment Program,  begun  the  first  of  the 
year,  have  now  passed  $90,000.  Latest  figures 
announced  by  Dr.  Frank  T.  DeVyver,  chairman 
of  the  faculty  drive,  were  $90,976.58  from 
554  contributors. 

The  results  of  this  University  campaign  have 
been  praised  by  President  Edens  as  being 
"most  clearly  indicative  of  the  value  of  our 
efforts  to  prepare  Duke  for  a  future  of  greater 
service.  Men  and  women  right  here  on  the 
campus  are  willing  to  sacrifice  in  order  to  see 
the  University  move  ahead." 

The  campus  campaign  was  requested  by 
members  of  faculties  and  staffs  who  wanted  to 
share  in  the  program  being  pushed  forward  by 
alumni  and  friends.  Dr.  DeVyver  was  made 
chairman  of  the  campaign  committee  and 
Walter  G.  Cooper  was  named  vice  chairman  in 
charge   of   staff   solicitation.

chairmen  throughout  the  nation,  moving 
at  an  encouraging  rate. 

In  every  major  center  in  North  Caro- 
lina campaigns  among  alumni  and  friends 
are  either  already  well  under  way  or 
scheduled  for  the  very  immediate  future. 
In  North  Carolina  districts,  north,  east, 
south,  and  west,  alumni  leaders  are  rapid- 
ly completing  arrangements  for  general 
canvasses  within  the  next  few  weeks. 

Meanwhile,  the  rest  of  the  country  is 
keeping  pace.  While  campaign  organiza- 
tions were  started  later  in  regions  more 
distant  from  the  campus,  early  results 
indicate  that  similar  successes  can  be  an- 
ticipated. Arrangements  are  being  made 
for  early  canvasses  in  the  big  cities  where 
alumni  live  in  large  numbers,  and  already 
individual  campaigners  in  less  densely 
populated  areas  are  out  visiting  fellow 
alumni,  seeking  and  receiving  gifts  for 
"a  greater  Duke." 

Campaign  News  Items 

Most  recent  campaign  events  include 
the  opening  of  the  Guilford  County  cam- 
paign in  Greensboro  on  February  16  and 
in  High  Point  on  March  5.  Kenneth  M. 
Brim,  '20,  is  Guilford  chairman  and  Floyd 
C.  Caveness,  '18,  and  Charles  L.  Kearns, 
'32,  are  general  canvass  chairmen  in 
Greensboro  and  High  Point  respectively. 
Early  reports  from  Guilford  indicate  that 
the  campaign  is  moving  forward  with  ex- 
tremely promising  results.

The  committee  is  preparing  to  open  the 
campaign  with  a  dinner  meeting  in  ap- 
proximately a  month. 

Early  this  month  North  Carolina  Dis- 
tricts Six  and  Ten  (both  in  the  east  cen- 
tral part  of  the  State)  held  a  joint  meet- 
ing of  top  leaders  to  prepare  for  opening 
their  campaigns  in  the  immediate  future. 
Presiding  at  this  meeting  was  E.  N. 
Brower,  '15,  chairman  of  District  Ten. 
President  Edens  spoke  to  the  approximate- 
ly 65  campaign  leaders  gathered  for  the 
occasion,  and  he  stressed  the  need  that 
the  University  has  for  the  devoted  sup- 
port of  each  individual  alumnus.  Chair- 
man of  District  Six  is  F.  J.  Boling,  '23. 

New  Chairmen 

Five  new  Development  Campaign  local

issue  of  the  Register. 

These  alumni  are  the  leaders  of  cam- 
paigns for  Duke  in  North  Carolina  key 
counties  are  districts,  in  national  regions

already  completed  their  organizations 
and  now  have  campaigns  underway. 
Others  are  in  the  process  of  selecting 
other  alumni  to  help  conduct  campaigns 
and  are  forming  committees  to  begin

Every  effort  is  being  made  to  push 
local  campaigns  to  a  successful  conclu- 
sion by  the  first  week  in  June,  so  that 
reports   can  be  made  at  Commencement. 

The  fourteen  local  chairmen  appearing 
here  head  campaign  organizations  scat- 
tered among  seven  states.  Chairmen  have 
now  been  appointed  in  almost  every  area 
where  there  is  a  strong  concentration  of 


Raymond  Smith,  '17,  of  Mount  Airy,  N.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  March,  1951 


Chairmen 


Duke  men  and  women,  and  this  includes 
centers  in  approximately  20  states. 

The  chairmen  pictured  here,  others 
whose  photos  will  appear  in  subsequent 
issues,  and  alumnae  and  alumni  who  have 
volunteered  to  serve  with  them  in  this 
important  campaign  for  Duke,  are  doing 
a  magnificent  job  for  the  University. 
This  is  the  first  time  in  Duke's  history 
that  large  numbers  of  alumni  have  been 
asked  to  devote  a  substantial  amount  of 
time  to  work  for  the  University,  and  the 
way  in  which  the  local  area,  county,  dis- 
trict, and  region  jobs  have  been  under- 
taken is  indicative  of  Duke's  alumni 
strength. 

Men  accepting  positions  as  chairmen 
are  among  the  University's  most  out- 
standing former  students  and  are  business 
and  civic  leaders  in  their  home  communi- 
ties. They  are  unselfishly  taking  time  out 
from  other  important  pursuits  to  work 
for  Duke's  future  welfare.  For  this  they 
are  earning  the  appreciation  of  the  Uni- 
versitv  and  of  its  other  alumni.

spoke  at  all  of  these  meetings.

Kick-off  dinner  for  the  Durham  County 
Alumni  Campaign  was  to  take  place  on 
March  29  in  West  Campus  Union,  with 
County  Chairman  Sterling  Nicholson,  '22, 
scheduled  to  preside.  General  canvass 
chairman  for  Durham  is  Russell  Y.  Cooke, 
'38. 

There  are  approximately  1,200  alumni 
and  alumnae  in  Durham  County,  making- 
it,  naturally  enough,  the  largest  con- 
centration of  Duke  people  anywhere.  The 
alumni  campaign  is  complete  and  sep- 
arate from  the  Durham  City  Campaign 
of  last  fall,  since  in  that  drive  only  non- 
alumni  friends  were  asked  to  give. 

Durham  County's  kick-off  leaves  only 
one  major  center  in  North  Carolina, 
Wake  County  and  Raleigh,  left  to  go  be- 
fore Commencement,  and  that  campaign 
is  scheduled  to  begin  soon.

Basketball  Ends  —  Spring  Sports  Begin 

Blue  Devils  Place  Second  in  Southern 
Conference  Tournament 

Duke  Turns  to  Baseball  and  Spring  Football  Practice 


Duke  University's  basketball  team 
ended  its  1950-51  season  in  a  blaze  of 
glory  during  the  first  week  of  March  by 
going  to  the  finals  of  the  Southern  Con- 
ference tournament  at  Raleigh,  N.  C,  be- 
fore being  eliminated  by  champion  N.  C. 
State  67-63. 

The  team,  which  was  the  highest  scoring 
aggregation  in  the  history  of  the  Univer- 
sity, ended  the  season  with  an  over-all 
record  of  20  wins  and  13  losses.  The 
team  scored  2,351  points,  for  an  average 
of  71.2  points  per  contest. 

Individual  scorers  for  the  Blue  Devils 
were  paced,  of  course,  by  All-America 
Dick  Groat,  who  tallied  a  total  of  831 
points  to  break  a  national  scoring  mark. 
He  averaged  25.2  points  per  game.  Dick 
Crowder  was  second  in  the  Duke  scoring 
with  283  points,  while  Captain  Scotty 
York  had  259,  Bill  Fleming  had  234,  Kes 
Deimling  had  221,  Dayton  Allen  had  166, 
Jim  Kulpan  had  122,  Dick  Johnson  had 
93  and  Dick  Latimer  had  76. 

Duke  ended  its  regular  season  on  Feb- 
ruary 23  by  collecting  a  valuable  win  over 
rival  North  Carolina  by  84-72.  The  win 
was  sweet  revenge  for  the  Duke  team 
since  the  loss  for  Carolina  eliminated  the 
Tar  Heels  from  the  Southern  Conference 
tourney  running,  and  made  up  for  a  simi- 
lar loss  the  Dukes  had  suffered  at  the 
hands  of  Carolina  in  1949  that  eliminated 
Duke  from  the  tournament. 

Dick  Groat  set  a  new  national  scoring 
record  by  getting  29  points  against  North 
Carolina  and  running  his  season's  total 
to  746.  That  total  broke  the  previous 
high  of  740  points,  set  by  William  and 
Mary's  Chet  Giermak  in  1949.  Runners- 
up  in  the  scoring  for  Duke  were  Bill 
Fleming  and  Scotty  York,  each  with  12 
points. 

The  win  over  North  Carolina  gave  the 
Blue  Devils  a  14-6  record  for  the  Southern 
Conference  season  and  a  tie  for  third 
place  with  William  and  Mary  in  the  loop 
standings. 

Entering  the  Southern  Conference 
tournament  at  Raleigh  on  March  1,  the 
Blue  Devils  edged  Virginia  Tech  64-61 
after  a  close  battle  all  the  way.  Groat 
led  the  scoring  with  23  points,  while  Dick 


Johnson,  a  much  improved  Duke  guard, 
had  11  points  and  Keston  Deimling  had 
10. 

Duke  had  another  close  battle  in  the 
Southern  Conference  tournament's  semi- 
final round.  The  Devils  edged  William 
and  Mary  by  a  71-69.  Groat  scored  31 
points  to  tie  the  Conference  tourney  rec- 
ord and  ran  his  season  total  to  exactly 
S00  points.  Runner-up  in  the  Duke  scor- 
ing was  Bill  Fleming  with  14  points. 
Fleming  played  a  great  rebound  game, 
grabbing  17  bad  '  shots.  Dick  Johnson 
added  eight  points  for  the  Devils. 

Groat  played  another  remarkable  game 
against  N.  C.  State  in  the  tourney  finals, 
scoring  31  points  again  to  re-tie  the 
tourney  scoring  record  (held  by  Sammy 
Ranzino  of  N.  C.  State  and  Chet  Giermak 
of  William  and  Mary  for  a  regulation 
game).  Runners-up  in  the  Duke  scoring 
as  the  Devils  dropped  a   67-63   decision 


were  Bill  Fleming  with  nine,  Scotty  Yorl 
with  eight  and  Johnson  with  six. 

Groat  was  elected  the  tournament's  out" 
standing  player  by  a  37-4  count  of  th« 
sportswriters  and  also  made  the  all- 
tourney  first  team.  Scotty  York  mad(i 
the  tourney's  second  team.

A  glance  at  the  football  team  out  for  Spring  practice  will  show  that  Duke's

T.  The  new  Coach  is  explaining  some  of  the  finer  points  of  the  play  to

Letters 

(Continued  from  Page  57) 
In  our  time  off  we  go  to  art  exhibits  or 
concerts,  the  opportunities  for  which  are 
so  unending  and  plentiful  that  making 
a  choice  becomes  a  chore.  We  have  taken 
short  week-end  trips  to  such  tourist  at- 
tractions as  Chartres,  Fontainebleau,  Ver- 
sailles, and  the  Forest  of  Compiegne  in 
our  little  Renault.  Last  week  we  ven- 
tured further  to  Normandy  and  saw  the 
badly  destroyed  Caen  and  Rouen,  and 
the  invasion  beaches  at  Arromanches  and 
Omaha  Beach,  with  Allied  ships  strewn 
along  the  bottom.  Up  on  top  of  the  hill 
at  Omaha  Beach,  10,000  white  American 
crosses  serve  as  a  simple  reminder  of 
what  invasions  actually  consist.  The 
countryside  of  Normandy  and  the  small 
towns  along  the  coast  were  more  pros- 
perous and  more  charming  than  those 
nearer  to  Paris,  and  we  felt  we  had  seen 
a  little  of  the  true  France. 

But  more  important  than  the  details  of 
our  existence,  we  think,  are  our  impres- 
sions of  France's  relations  with  the- 
world.  Without  Western  Europe  and  its 
productivity,  despite  President  Hoover 
and  the  new  isolationists,  the  United 
States  would  find  itself  in  a  productive 
minority,  as  well  as  in  a  minority  as  far 
as  the  manpower  of  the  world  is  con- 
cerned. While  Germany  is  the  key  to 
Europe,  at  the  present  time  France  is  the 
key  to  what  will  become  of  Germany. 
The  French  today  can  be  divided  into 
three  categories,  our  friends,  the  "neu- 
tralistes," and  the  communists.  As  long 
as  we  give  the  majority  of  French,  who 
are  at  present  with  us,  full  evidence  of 
our  good  faith  and  intentions,  we  may 
keep  a  friendly  France.  The  eminent 
danger  is  not  from  the  Communists,  who 
keep  a  firm  but  non-growing  corps  of 
supporters;  it  is  from  our  present  friends 
who  may  decide  it  would  be  better  to 
face  the  uncertain  future  of  "neutra- 
lisme"  with  fatalism  than  to  risk  all  by 
supporting  an  American  policy  that  may 
desert  them  in  the  end.  We  must  of  ne- 
cessity change  our  idea  of  remaking  the 
world  in  our  own  image  or  else  letting  it 
slide  down  the  drain. 

From  the  French  papers,  as  they  re- 
port the  world  to  us,  the  question  arises : 
Can  the  United  States  rise  to  the  stature 
necessary  for  its  responsibilities?  Can 
GM  refuse  to  freeze  its  prices,  or  the 
UAW  defy  wage  stabilization  while  the 
French  risk  a  momentary  invasion  from 
the  East?  "Perhaps  better  slow  bolshe- 
vization  than  another  Occupation  and 
Liberation,"  says  the  Monde,  whose  poli- 
tics compare  about  with  the  old  New 
York  Sun.    Can  our  complacent  conserva- 


tives think  the  "American  Way"  will  in- 
terest a  still  underpaid  French  worker 
who  nevertheless  has  had  social  security 
and  national  hospital  insurance  since  the 
turn  of  the  century?  To  the  average 
Frenchman  (not  even  counting  the  Com- 
munists, of  course)  MacArthur  is  an 
over-ambitious  American  general  who 
obeys  no  orders  but  his  own  and  has 
sacrificed  the  peace  to  his  personal  code 
of  imperialism;  the  Republican  surge  in 
America  was  a  return  to  the  ostrich-days 
of  the  nineteen-twenties ;  and  Dean  Ache- 
son  is  now  a  symbol  whose  departure  will 
signalize  our  desertion  of  Western  Eu- 
rope. The  Communists  know  how  to  fill 
a  vacuum.  Are  we  going  to  continue 
to  create  them?  Perhaps  we  can  con- 
tinue to  carry  on  in  our  muddled  way, 
or  even  retire  to  our  shell,  but  while  we 
do,  we  shall  be  losing  more  of  our  friends 
to  the  "neutralistes,"  and  more  of  the 
"neutralistes"  to  the  strong  men  who 
claim  they  have  history  on  their  side. 

Our  best  regards  from  France  to  all 
of  you,  and  best  wishes  for  a  Happier 
New  Year.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  March,  1951

Dr.  Bolmeier  Questions  Grading  System 


The  familiar  report  card  that  Junior 
hides  from  Dad  and  Mom  until  the  fam- 
ily hairbrushes  and  razor  straps  are  con- 
cealed is  an  outmoded  relic  according  to 
Dr.  E.  C.  Bolmeier  of  the  Duke  educa- 
tion department. 

In  "The  School  Review,"  Dr.  Bolmeier 
writes  that  the  conventional  report  card 
is  good  for  "separating  the  sheep  from 
the  goats,"  but  it  fails  to  encourage  the 
pupil. 

The  old-fashioned  system  of  a  single 
letter  denoting  the  "grade"  of  primary 
or  secondary  school  student  makes  grad- 
ing a  simple  task  for  the  teacher,  but 
does  not  help  the  pupil,  he  points  out. 
Another  danger  is  that  often  teachers 
may  let  personal  whims  and  dislikes  creep 
into  their  grading  when  only  a  single 
mark  is  put  down  in  each  subject. 

"The  real  purpose  of  marks  should  be 
to  help  the  pupil  by  pointing  up  his  rela- 
tive strengths  and  weaknesses,  his  special 
interests,  aptitudes,  and  study  habits," 
the  Duke  professor  says.  "A  good  re- 
porting   system    will    aid    parents    and 


counselors  in  giving  sensible  advice  and 
will  also  encourage  all  pupils,  regardless 
of  varying  abilities." 

Dr.  Bolmeier's  criticism  is  constructive, 
however,  for  he  gives  a  prescription  for 
report  card  improvements. 

(1)  Give  a  more  detailed  picture  of 
the  pupil's  progress  than  is  possible  with 
single  marks  such  as  "A,"  "B,"  "C,"  or 
"D."  Pupils  should  be  graded  in-  each 
subject  on  such  things  as  achievement  on 
tests,  quality  or  recitation,  persistence 
for   mastery,    and   self-reliance   in   work. 

(2)  Give  grades  in  a  way  that  will  pre- 
vent uncertainty  or  confusion.  Terms 
such  as  "very  high,"  "high,"  "average," 
"low,"  and  "very  low,"  are  understood  by 
everyone.  Then,  he  says,  if  necessary, 
these  markings  can  easily  be  changed  to 
the  usual  alphabetical  grades  required  by 
colleges  for  entrance  transcripts. 

(3)  Occasional  changes  may  improve 
the  system  after  it  has  been  used  for 
some  time.  A  committee  of  teachers  and 
school  officials  should  study  the  system 
each  vear  and  work  out  revisions.

English  Prose  op  the  Seventeenth 
Century 
Dean  F.  Florence  Brinkley,  Editor 
W.  W.  Norton  and  Company,  Publisher 

Outstanding  17-century  writing  has 
been  compiled  and  edited  by  Dr.  R.  Flor- 
ence Brinkley,  Dean  of  the  Woman's 
College  of  Duke  University  and  professor 
of  English.  Published  by  W.  W.  Norton 
and  Co.,  New  York  City,  the  900-page 
volume  is  a  companion  piece  to  Dr. 
Brinkley 's  anthology  English  Poetry  of 
the  Seventeenth  Century. 

Selections  in  the  prose  anthology  rep- 
resent well-known  writings  from  that 
period,  such  as  diaries,  prose  lyrics, 
essays,  and  autobiography.  The  volume 
also  includes  biographical  sketches  of  the 
writers  represented  and  an  introductory 
essay  by  Dr.  Brinkley. 

The  earlier  poetry  anthology  is  now 
being  published  in  a  new  format  to  match 
the  prose  volume.  It  has  won  increasing 
critical  acclaim  as  a  comprehensive  and 
competently  edited  anthology  for  stu- 
dents of  17th-century  poetry. 

Dr.  Brinkley  is  recognized  as  an  out- 
standing  authority   on   the   literature   of 


the  1600's.  She  is  also  the  author  of 
Nathan  Field,  the  Actor-Playwright  and 
The  Arthurian  Legend  in  the  Seven- 
teenth Century.  Her  articles  and  reviews 
have  appeared  in  well-known  scholarly 
journals,  and  she  is  active  in  leading 
professional  societies. 

Formerly  chairman  of  the  English  De- 
partment at  Goucher  College,  Dr.  Brink- 
ley  joined  the  Duke  administrative  staff 
in  1947  after  14  months  literary  research 
in  England.

By  Dr.  Charles  E.  London 

William    Sloane   Associates,   Publishers 

Dr.  Charles  E.  Landon,  associate  pro- 
fessor of  economics  at  Duke,  is  the  au- 
thor of  Transportation,  a  new  economics 
textbook  recently  released  by  William 
Sloane  Associates,  New  York  Publishers. 

The  book  is  designed  for  introductory

quaint the  student  with  the  principles, 
practices,  and  problems  of  transporta- 
tion prevailing  in  the  United  States  to- 
day. 

An  authority  in  the  transportation 
field,  Dr.  Landon  is  the  author  of  reports 
on  "The  National  Traffic  Pattern"  and 
"Technological  Trends  in  Transporta- 
tion" prepared  for  the  Federal  Board  of 
Investigation  and  Research  in  1944. 


He  is  also  the  author  of  Industrial 
Geography  and  has  collaborated  with 
other  economists  on  a  series  of  textbooks. 

Restoring  Worship 

By  Clarice  M.  Bowman  '31,  A.M.  >3"A 

Abingdon-Cokesbtiry  Press 

Clarice  M.  Bowman,  '31,  A.M.  '37,  is 
the  author  of  a  new  book,  Restoring 
Worship,  just  published  by  the  Abing- 
don-Cokesbury  Press  of  New  York  and 
Nashville. 

Miss  Bowman's  book  will  be  one  ofi 
the  few  to  cover  the  entire  field  of  wor- 
ship, and  is  intended  as  a  tool  and  an 
inspiration  for  ministers,  church  educa- 
tion leaders,  and  parents  of  all  denomi- 
nations who  want  to  guide  others  to  vital 
worship. 

A  native  of  Mount  Airy,  N.  C,  Miss 
Bowman  was  a  Phi  Beta  Kappa  and  a 
Kappa  Delta  Pi  at  Duke.  She  has  also 
done  some  graduate  work  at  Yale  Uni- 
versity, consisting  mostly  of  special 
courses  in  worship.  After  completing  her 
studies  she  was  for  some  time  Director 
of  Religious  Education  at  churches  in 
New  Haven,  Conn.,  and  High  Point,  N. 
C,  and  is  now  a  staff  member  of  the 
Youth  Department  of  the  Methodist 
Board  of  Education  in  Nashville,  Tenn. 


Rare  Biblical  Manuscript 

A  rare,  800-year  old  manuscript  of 
the  Four  Gospels  in  Greek  has  been 
acquired  by  the  Duke  University  Li- 
brary, Dr.  Benjamin  E.  Powell,  librar- 
ian, announced  recently.  The  new 
acquisition  brings  Duke's  total  of  rare 
texts  of  this  type  to  15  and  places 
the  library  fourth  in  the  nation  in 
such  holdings. 

Written  about  1150,  A.D.,  the  238- 
page  manuscript  is  of  special  interest 
to  scholars  because  it  contains  orig- 
inal editing  marks  made  by  a  monastic 
"corrector"  and  shows  how  different 
religious  views  influenced  the  exact 
wording  of  the  Bible. 

The  book  was  discovered  in  Egypt 
by  Dr.  Kenneth  W.  Clark,  professor 
of  New  Testament,  while  on  a  special 
project  in  the  Near  East  recently.  He 
purchased  it  from  a  Greek  book  col- 
lector living  in  Alexandria,  Egypt. 

Many  requests  for  microfilms  of  the 
book  have  already  come  in  from  schol- 
ars all  over  the  country,  says  Dr. 
Powell,  and  these  are  being  filled  as 
quickly  as  possible.

Operations  Performed  to  Soothing  Music 


Try  having-  your  next  operation  to  the 
tune  of  Beethoven's  Fifth  or  the  crooning 
of  Vaughan  Monroe.  It  is  possible,  for 
Duke  doctors  have  been  playing  soft, 
soothing  music  in  operating  rooms  to 
make  operations  easier  for  patients  and 
speed  up  their  recovery. 

Duke  plastic  surgeons  say  that  opera- 
tive patients  who  are  under  local,  spinal 
or  regional  anesthetics,  and  therefore 
fully  conscious  during  the  operation,  tend 
to  forget  about  themselves  and  relax  un- 
der the  spell  of  their  favorite  melodies. 

The  patients  are  equipped  with  com- 
fortable, cushioned  earphones  which  keep 
,out  all  operating  room  noises,  while  an 
automatic  record-player  nearby  plays 
favorite  selections.  Long  playing  records 
eliminate  the  need  for  frequent  adjust- 
ments of  the  phonograph.  Besides  help- 
ing the  patients,  the  music  seems  to  be  a 
good  morale  booster  for  the  operating 
room  staff.  It  "relieves  the  tension"  and 
creates  a  better  atmosphere,  the  doctors 
reported. 

Although  music  has  long  been  used  at 
Duke  in  the  children's  wards  and  in  pa- 
tients' rooms  to  make  convalescence  easier 
and  shorter  by  relieving  anxiety  and  as  a 
source  of  recreation,  it  has  only  recently 
been  tried  in  the  operating  rooms  where 
often  anxiety  and  worry  are  strongest. 
After  trying  the  new  technique  with  sev- 
eral hundred  patients  from  all  walks  of 
life,  both  sexes  and  all  age  groups,  the 
doctors  were  able  to  make  several  con- 
crete conclusions  about  the  effects  of 
music.  Results  of  the  study  are  described 
in  Plastic  and  Eeconstuctive  Surgery  by 
Drs.  Kenneth  L.  Pickrell,  James  T.  Metz- 
ger,  N.  John  Wilde,  T.  Ray  Broadbent, 
and  Benjamin  F.  Edwards. 

It  was  discovered  that  soft,  soothing 
melodious  orchestrations  and  vocals  were 
favorites,  with  Wayne  King,  Sammy 
Kaye  and  Vaughan  Monroe  being  most 
popular.  Hymns,  spirituals  and  marching 
music  ranked  lowest  on  the  list,  probably, 
the  doctors  report,  because  they  increased 
the  emotional  tension.  News  broadcasts 
were  informative  and  pleasing  to  some 
patients,  but  quite  distressing  to  others. 
This,  of  course;,  depended  upon  the  con- 
tent. Children  were  most  fond  of  stories 
and  special  readings  and  children's  music. 
The  youngsters  responded  enthusiastically 
to  the  idea.     According  to  the  doctors, 


their  minds  became  preoccupied,  thereby 
facilitating  the  change  of  painful  dress- 
ings or  the  induction  of  anesthesia. 

Types  of  music  used  in  the  study  were 
symphonies,  classics,  opera,  piano,  violin 
and  piano,  string  quartets,  martial  and 
band  music,  hymns,  spirituals,  jazz,  swing, 
scores  from  musicals,  westerns,  hillbilly, 
theme  songs,  old  favorites,  and  the  current 
classics  and  popular  music.  There  seemed 
to  be  little  difference  in  reaction  among 
the  patients  except  for  their  own  personal 
tastes  in  music.  The  doctors  did  discover 
that  "while  women  have  less  physical  re- 
sistance and  are  more  susceptible  to  nerv- 
ous disturbances  than  men,  they  are  as  a 
group  more  tolerant  and  adapt  themselves 
more  readily  to  hospital  routines." 

Grant  Aids  Polio  Research 

With  the  aid  of  a  March  of  Dimes 
grant  of  $17,200  Duke  University  scien- 
tists will  pursue  their  studies  of  muscle 
action  following  attack  by  polio. 

The  grant,  announced  by  Basil  O'Con- 
ner,  president  of  the  National  Foundation 
for  Infantile  Paralysis,  is  a  part  of  the 
million  and  a  half  dollars  which  the 
Foundation  is  turning  over  to  universities 
and  research  centers  in  16  states  and  Can- 
ada for  continuing  study  of  the  dread 
disease.  The  newly  approved  research 
projects  will  also  include  attempts  to  de- 
velop an  effective  vaccine  for  polio,  search 
for  a  chemical  agent  that  will  prevent 
the  virus  from  damaging  nerve  cells,  de- 
velopment of  a  rapid  diagnostic  polio 
test,  and  the  preparation  of  a  polio  anti- 
serum that  will  increase  an  individual's 
resistance  to  paralysis. 

The  Duke  funds  will  be  under  the  di- 
rection of  Dr.  J.  E.  Markee,  professor  of 
anatomy.  In  1945,  Dr.  Markee  began 
conducting  studies  and  experiments  with 
National  Foundation  support  in  the  re- 
habilitation of  muscles  affected  by  polio. 
He  and  his  assistants  are  making  studies 
to  determine  the  complete  pattern  of 
intramuscular  nerve  distribution  of  the 
arms  and  legs.  This  information  com- 
bined with  knowledge  already  gleaned 
from  research  studies  will  be  compiled  in 
a  form  which  can  be  made  readily  avail- 
able to  orthopedic  surgeons  who  perform 
muscle  transplant  operations  as  a  means 
of  combatting  severe  paralysis  following 


polio.  The  material  will  also  be  useful 
to  physical  therapists  who  need  this  es- 
sential information  of  muscle  action  in 
their  efforts  at  retaining  muscles  weak- 
ened or  partially  paralyzed  by  polio. 

Advisory  Editors 

Two  members  of  the  Duke  University 
Faculty,  Dr.  Wilburt  C.  Davison,  dean 
of  the  School  of  Medicine,  and  Dr. 
Weston  La  Barre,  associate  professor  of 
anthropology,  are  advisory  editors  of  the 
Child-Family  Digest,  which  hereafter  will 
be  published  by  the  Lieutenant  Gayle 
Aiken  III  Memorial  Foundation,  New 
Orleans,  La. 

The  Digest  reprints  outstanding  articles 
on  children  and  family  relations  for  the 
busy  doctor,  the  clinic,  the  teaching  hos- 
pital, the  medical  school,  the  'visiting 
nurse,  health  departments,  college  teach- 
ers and  students,  and  all  who  have  need 
of  such  a  concise  publication.  The  need 
for  the  non-profit  Digest  has  been  estab- 
lished by  the  previous  publication  of  20

deaths 


HUGHES  B.  HOLLAND,  '92 
Vesper  services  for  Hughes  B.  Hol- 
land, '92,  who  died  January  6,  were  held 
in  the  Cox  Funeral  Home,  Norfolk,  Va., 
on  January  9.  Interment  was  in  Cedar 
Grove  Cemetery,  New  Bern,  N.  C. 

A  native  of  New  Bern,  Mr.  Holland  had 
lived  in  Norfolk,  Va.,  since  1917.  He 
was  an  accountant  with  the  Norfolk 
Southern  Railroad  there. 

He  is  survived  by  his  widow,  Mrs. 
Mary  Caho  Holland. 

ERNEST  JOSHUA  GREEN, 
'96,  A.M.  '32 
Ernest   Joshua    Green,   '96,   A.M.    '32, 
died  December  29  at  his  home  in  Colum- 
bia, S.  C.     He  had  been  in  ill  health  for 
five  years. 

Mr.  Green  served  as  superintendent  of 
the  Durham  City  Schools  from  1911  to 
1914,  and  is  a  former  president  of  Max- 
ton  College.  From  1926  to  1947  he  served 
as  head  of  the  Education  Department  of 
Columbia  College,  Methodist  Girls'  School. 

Survivors  include  his  widow,  Mrs.  Eliz- 
abeth Gerhold  Green  of  Columbia;  and 
two  sons,  E.  J.  Green,  Jr.,  of  Carters- 
ville,  Ga.,  and  George  Caleb  Green  of 
Augusta,  Ga. 

ARCHIE  LANEY  LEE,  '08 
Archie  Laney  Lee,  '08,  board  chairman 
of  D'Arcy  Advertising  Company,  and 
famed  advertiser  of  Coca-Cola,  died  in 
JBarnes  Hospital,  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  of  can- 
cer on  December  22,  after  a  brief  illness. 

Funeral  services  were  held  in  Christ 
Episcopal  Church  Cathedral,  and  burial 
was  in  Bellefontaine  Cemetery. 

Mr.  Lee,  a  native  of  Monroe,  N.  C,  be- 
came a  reporter  on  the  Atlanta  Georgian 
in  1908  following  his  graduation  from 
Trinity  College.  His  newspaper  work 
was  interrupted  by  service  as  a  captain  in 
the  infantry  during  World  War  I. 

In  1919  he  became  a  copywriter  at 
D'Arcy  Advertising  upon  the  recommen- 
dation of  Samuel  C.  Dobbs,  then  president 
of  the  Coca-Cola  Company,  who  was  im- 
pressed with  the  reporter  during  a  news- 
paper interview.  He  immediately  went  to 
work  on  the  Coca-Cola  advertising. 
Robert  W.  Woodruff,  longtime  head  of 
the  Coca-Cola  Company  once  told  his 
directorate,  "No  single  individual  has  done 
more  to  popularize  Coca-Cola  than  Archie 
Lee."    It  was   Mr.   Lee   who   created   the 


basic  pattern  for  the  poster  campaign  that 
made  "The  Pause  That  Refreshes"  famous. 
Since  then,  repetition  in  advertising  has 
became  standard  for  virtually  all  nation- 
ally advertised  products.  After  success- 
fully selling  the  beverage  as  a  fountain 
drink,  he  also  induced  people  to  drink 
Cokes  right  out  of  the  bottle  by  another 
vigorous  poster  campaign.  It  was  Mr. 
Lee  who  legally  claimed  the  popular  name 
of  "Coke"  for  Coca-Cola  alone,  leaving 
the  generic  word  "cola"  to  represent  all 
such  bottled  drinks.  The  familiar  pixie 
character  with  the  friendly,  saucy  grin, 
who  so  often  appears  on  Coke  ads,  is  also 
a  creation  of  Mr.  Lee's.  In  addition  to 
these  forms  of  advertising,  Mr.  Lee  em- 
phasized Coca-Cola  as  a  mark  of  hos- 
pitality. 

In  1925  Mr.  Lee  became  account  execu- 
tive at  D'Arcy  and  was  elected  a  member 
of  the  board  of  directors.  He  had  been 
chairman  of  the  board  since  1945.  At 
the  time  of  his  death  he  was  also  director 
of  Coca-Cola  Bottling  Company,  St. 
Louis;  Western  Coca-Cola  Bottling  Com- 
pany, Chicago,  and  Coca-Cola  Bottling 
Plants  Inc.,  Portland,  Me. 

Survivors  include  Mrs.  Lee;  a  daughter, 
Mrs.  Peter  Bakewell;  a  son,  Alexander 
Laney  Lee;  and  four  sisters,  Miss  Marion 
Lee,  Mrs.  Dorothy  Redwine,  and  Miss 
Margaret  Lee  of  Monroe,  N.  C,  and  Mrs. 
William  MeRae  of  Rockingham.

Campus  Interviews  on  Cigarette  Tests 
Number  6...THE  beaver 


How  eager 

can  they 

get?" 


rvo>\ 


c'ftvv 


FOR  once  in  his  life,  our  fervent  friend  admits  that  eagerness  can  be 
over-done !  He's  alluding,  of  course,  to  all  these  quick-trick  cigarette  tests 
—the  ones  that  ask  you  to  decide  on  cigarette  mildness  after  just  one 
puff,  one  sniff,  one  inhale  or  one  exhale!  When  the  chips  are 
down,  he  realizes  cigarette  mildness  can't  be  judged  in  a  hurry. 
That's  why  he  made  .  . . 

The  sensible  test .  .  .  the  30-Day  Camel  Mildness  Test  which 
asks  you  to  try  Camels  as  your  steady  smoke— on  a  pack  after 
pack,  day  after  day  basis.  No  snap  judgments  needed.  After  you've 
enjoyed  Camels— and  only  Camels— for  30  days  in  your  "T-Zone" 
(T  for  Throat,  T  for  Taste) ,  we  believe  you'll  knoiv  why  . . . 

More  People  Smoke  Camels 

than  any  other  cigarette!

JdetieM. 


The  following  letter  was  received  from  an  alumnus  who,  as  he 
explains,  only  attended  Duke  for  a  short  period  of  time.  Local  asso- 
ciations are  always  glad  to  welcome  into  membership  any  alumnus 
who  attended  Duke  for  any  period  of  time  and  who  is  interested  in 
becoming  affiliated  with  an  active  organization. 

The  Lancaster  County  Association  is  offering  a  scholarship  to  a 
worthy  boy  or  girl  who  wishes  to  attend  Duke.  Mr.  Bucher  is  chair- 
man of  the  committee  which  is  working  on  the  award.  Money  has 
been  raised  for  the  scholarship  through  rummage  sales  and  other 
activities  given  by  the  Lancaster  Association. 

Mr.  Caleb  W.  Bucher 
119  East  Clay  Street 
Lancaster,  Penna. 

Enclosed  you  will  find  a  check  which  I  am  sending  for  alumni 
purposes.  Since  I  attended  Duke  University  only  three  summers,  I 
suppose  I  am  ineligible  for  membership  but  I  do  want  to  express 
my  appreciation  to  Duke. 

The  local  Duke  association  has  invited  us,  who  have  been  part- 
time  students,  to  join  them  in  their  activities.  I  have  been  serving 
as  the  scholarship  committee  chairman.  Today  we  went  on  television 
to  tell  the  public  about  our  proposed  scholarship.  I  am  sure  that 
Miss  Marguerite  Herr,  our  corresponding  secretary  has  kept  you  in- 
formed about  this  project.  We  have  a  small  but  a  very  active  group. 
Our  present  enthusiasm  is  directed  toward  the  Men's  Glee  Club  con- 
cert which  is  to  be  held  March  26. 

Duke  University  has  a  spirit  which  none  of  us  ever  forget.  In 
spite  of  the  fact  that  I  am  a  graduate  of  several  other  schools,  those 
three  summers  at  Duke  stand  out  as  the  finest  experience  I  have  had 
in  school  work.

I'm  returning  your  record  album  in  today's  mail.  It  was  certainly 
grand  of  you  to  allow  us  to  use  it.  We  all  feel  that  it  played  an  im- 
portant part  in  the  success  of  last  night's  concert  ...  of  which,  more 
later. 

Just  to  give  you  an  idea  of  how  much  use  we  got  out  of  the  rec- 
ords. I  want  to   tell  you  how  they  were  used.    I   prepared  a  fifteen 
minute  program  using  all  but  two  of  the  Glee  Club  selections  together

THIS  MONTH'S  COVER 

Coach  Coombs'  Blue  Devils  this  year  boast  one  of  the  finest 
infields  in  collegiate  baseball,  and  this  is  one  good  reason  for 
the  team's  successes  in  early  season  campaigns.  Left  to  right 
are  Tom  Powers.  3rd  base ;  Dick  Groat,  short  stop ;  Bill  Berg-

Here  and  There 

The  Development  Campaign  is  in  high  gear  as  we 
come  into  the  home  stretch.  It  is  the  hope  of  all  of  those 
responsible  for  the  program  that  by  June  30  we  will 
have  reached  our  goal  of  $8,650,000.00.  Present  indica- 
tions are  most  encouraging.  Reports  are  arriving  from 
all  sections  of  the  country,  such  as  Forsyth  County  in 
North  Carolina,  where  workers  have  done  a  remarkably 
good  job.  More  than  40  per  cent  of  all  alumni  there 
have  made  a  gift  to  the  University.  In  Guilford  County 
almost  40  per  cent  of  the  alumni  in  the  entire  county 
have  already  given,  and  the  campaign  is  not  complete. 
The  percentage  of  participation  in  Mecklenburg  County 
is  most  encouraging  and  new  areas  are  being  opened  all 
the  time.  Some  sections  have  not  been  reached,  but  the 
alumni  in  these  areas  will  be  given  an  opportunity  to 
participate  as  soon  as  possible  either  by  personal  solicita- 
tion or  by  mail.  Please  be  ready  to  make  your  commit- 
ment when  you  are  called  on.  Remember  that  each  dollar 
you  give  means  two,  and  that  this  is  the  first  time  in  25 
years  Duke  University  has  called  on  its  alumni  for  giv- 
ing on  a  capital  basis. 


The  eighth  annual  Alumnae  Week  End  was  a  success 
in  every  way.  The  alumnae  especially  enjoyed  the  inno- 
vation of  having  the  students  on  the  campus  while  they 
were  here.  The  attendance  was  good  and  the  program 
excellent.  Those  who  couldn't  come  back  certainly  missed 
an  outstanding  occasion. 


It  seems  a  little  out  of  order  to  mention  that  Home- 
coming will  be  October  27,  the  day  of  the  University  of 
Virginia  game.  However,  we  hope  you  will  put  this 
date  on  your  calendar  and  plan  now  to  attend  that 
occasion. 


This  year's  baseball  team  gives  promise  of  being  the 
best  Duke  has  had  in  many  years.  If  you  haven't  seen 
the  wonderful  infield  perform,  not  to  mention  the  out- 
field and  pitchers,  it  is  worth  your  time  and  effort  to 
see  a  game. 


To  be  married  in  the  Duke  Chapel  has  become  quite 
the  fashion  for  sons  and  daughters  of  Duke.  Almost 
?very  day  sees  another  wedding  in  this  beautiful  build- 
ing. It  seems  to  tie  the  young  men  and  women  closer  to 
the  University  and  at  the  same  time  to  give  them  the  best 
wishes  and  blessings  of  the  institution. 


Many  things  happen  in  the  Spring  of  the  year.  In 
addition  to  house  cleaning,  it  seems  the  migratory  bug 
bites  about  50  per  cent  of  our  alumni.  If  you  have  been 
bitten  by  this  bug  and  haven't  sent  us  your  change  of 
address,  please  do  so.  We  can't  tell  you  about  the  Uni- 
versity's program  or  keep  you  in  touch  with  your  fellow- 
alumni  unless  we  know  where  you  are. 


Congratulations  to  the  History  Department  for  the 
excellent  letter  which  it  mailed  to  alumni  who  majored  in 
history.  If  you  didn't  get  a  copy,  we  suggest  you  write 
to  Dr.  William  B.  Hamilton,  the  editor. 

The  Physics  Department  also  issued  a  similar  letter 
which  was  full  of  information  and  news  of  interest  to 
alumni  of  that  Department.  Likewise,  if  you  didn't  get 
a  copy  and  are  interested,  write  Dr.  W.  M.  Nielsen. 

The  second  issue  of  the  School  of  Law  Newsletter  was 
issued  late  in  March  and  was  enthusiastically  received  by 
the  alumni.  The  Newsletter  is  published  several  times 
during  the  vear. 


Tom  Fletcher,  '42,  like  so  many  other  alumni,  is  find- 
ing opportunities  in  connection  with  his  everyday  job 
to  serve  Duke  University  and  to  call  it  to  the  attention 
of  the  public  which  he  serves.  On  the  letter  page  of  this 
issue  is  reproduced  a  letter  from  him  which  illustrates 
this  point. 


Have  you  had  a  meeting  of  your  local  alumni  asso- 
ciation within  the  past  twelve  months?  If  not,  wouldn't 
it  be  a  good  idea  to  hold  one  in  the  near  future?  During 
the  Spring  of  the  year  many  groups  are  having  outdoor 
affairs,  such  as  picnics.  This  gives  the  members  a  chance 
to  get  together,  know  each  other  better,  and  have  a  visit 
with  some  fellow  alumnus  they  have  been  intending  to 
go  to  see  but,  because  of  the  pressure  of  things,  have 
failed  to  do  so.  Other  groups  are  inviting  as  guests  high 
school  students  who  are  interested  or  might  be  interested 
in  attending  Duke  Universitv. 


The  1951-52  bulletins  and  catalogs  are  now  coming 
off  the  press.  If  you  would  like  a  copy  of  one  of  these  for 
yourself  or  for  some  interested  person,  please  write  the 
Alumni  Office  or  the  Secretary's  office. 


The  parents  of  one  of  our  former  students  stopped  by 
the  office  a  few  days  ago.  While  here,  the  mother  re- 
marked that  she  and  her  husband,  together  with  two 
friends,  were  on  their  way  South.  She  said  that  the  last 
instructions  given  by  her  son  were  to  bring  their  friends 
by  the  Duke  campus  for  a  visit,  although  it  was  a  quite 
a  bit  out  of  their  way,  and  to  visit  the  Chapel,  the  Sarah 
P.  Duke  Gardens,  and  other  places  of  interest  on  the 
campus.  The  parents  were  also  instructed  to  come  by  the 
Alumni  Office  to  say  "hello."  We  appreciate  this 
thoughtfulness  on  the  part  of  the  parents,  as  well  as  the 
alumnus. 


Quotes 

"Our  way  of  life  in  its  entirety  was  built  to  make 
government  the  servant  and  not  the  master  of  the  Ameri- 
can people." 

A  well  informed  alumni  body  makes  for  interest  and 
enthusiasm,  and  assures  the  future  of  an  educational 
institution. 


Development  Campaign  Chairmen 


Last  month  the  Register  printed  photos  of  14  alumni  who  photos  are  published  so  that  all  alumni  may  see  and  know  at 
are  serving  Duke  as  Campaign  Chairmen  throughout  the  least  a  few  of  their  fellows  who  are  working  vigorously  and 
United    States.     This    month    12    more    are    presented.     These      unselfishly   for   "a   greater   Duke."

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  April,  1951 


The  1951  Commencement  Program 


Duke  University's  1951  Commencement 
is  being  anticipated  as  one  of  the  great- 
est in  history,  from  the  standpoint  of 
alumni  participation. 

Alumni  everywhere — Duke's  former 
men  and  women  students — are  daily 
made  increasingly  aware  of  the  signif- 
icance of  free  institutions  standing  for 
democratic  principles  and  striving  to 
protect  a  cherished  liberty.  This  is  evi- 
denced, for  one  way,  by  the  truly  mighty 
support  that  has  been  put  behind  the 
Duke  University  Development  Campaign 
during  the  past  year.  And  one  of  the 
high  points  of  the  Commencement  season 
will  be  the  report  of  what  has  been  ac- 
complished through  the  Campaign  and 
how  much  it  has  and  will  affect  the  Uni- 
versity's position  in  the  world  of  edu- 
cation. 

The  Speakers 

Speakers  for  the  1951  Commencement 
will  be  The  Reverend  Paul  Ehrman 
Scherer  of  Union  Theological  Seminary, 
New  York  City,  who  will  deliver  the 
baccalaureate  sermon,  and  Dr.  Robert  L. 
Calkins,  director  of  the  General  Educa- 
tion Board  of  the  Rockefeller  Founda- 
tion. Biographical  notes  on  these  two 
prominent  Americans  will  appear  in  the 
May  Register.  The  Hon.  W.  Kerr  Scott, 
Governor  of  North  Carolina  will  deliver 
the  message  to  the  graduating  class. 

Something  New 

In  response  to  many  requests,  a  new 
entertainment  feature  has  been  added  to 
the  Commencement  program.  This  is  a 
presentation  of  the  Hoof  'n'  Horn's  latest 
production,  the  very  excellent  "Belles  and 
Ballots."  This  student  musical  has  re- 
ceived high  praise  from  all  who  have 
seen  it  in  Page  Auditorium  on  the  cam- 
pus and  in  Winston-Salem  on  tour.  The 
unanimous  opinion  is  that  it  is  one  of 
the  best  Hoof  'n'  Horn  productions  ever 
staged.  Returning  former  students, 
therefore,  will  have  an  opportunity  to 
see  what  their  present-day  counterparts 
are  capable  of  doing. 

And  Golf,  Too 

The  third  annual  Alumni  Golf  Tourna- 
ment will  take  place  again  this  j'ear  at 
Hope  Valley  on  Friday  afternoon  and

since  it  is  on  a  handicap  basis.  Those 
who  plan  to  enter  are  urged  to  fill  out 
the  blank  below  and  return  it  to  the

Scenes  From  Eighth  Alumnae  Week  End 


[  Page  90  ] 


DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  April,  1951 


Alumnae  Event  Attracts  Many  to  Campus 


For  the  first  time  in  its  eight  years,  the 
annual  Duke  Alumnae  Week  End  was 
held  during  the  regular  school  session 
and  the  innovation  met  with  great  suc- 
cess. Former  Duke  coeds  enjoyed  being 
on  campus  with  future  alumnae  while 
college  life  was  in  full  swing. 

The  three-day  event,  featuring  lectures, 
art  and  music  events,  and  varied  social 
activities,  opened  Friday  afternoon, 
April  6,  and  extended  through  Sunday, 
April  8. 

All  alumnae  who  attended  returned 
home  with  a  much  clearer  idea  of  what 
is  happening  at  Duke  today.  They  be- 
came familiar  with  new  activities  of  both 
students  and  faculty,  and  they  reviewed 
the  operations  of  the  University  in  to- 
day's world. 

New  Alumnae  Officers 

Xew  officers  were  elected  for  the  Alum- 
nae Association  at  a  meeting  Saturday 
afternoon.  Coma  Cole  Willard  (Mrs.  W. 
B.).  '22,  of  Raleigh,  X.  C,  was  elected 
president  to  serve  for  a  term  of  two 
years,  according  to  a  new  rule  passed  by 
the  Alumnae  Council  at  its  meeting  the 
previous  afternoon.  On  the  action  of  the 
council,  Thelma  Albright,  A.M.  '37,  out- 
going president,  will  remain  as  a  member 
of  the  executive  committee  for  one  year. 
Other  officers  are :  first  vice-president, 
Frances  Davis,  '32,  Washington,  D.  C. ; 
second  vice-president,  Lee  Anne  Seawell, 
'40,  Athens,  Ga.;  representatives  at  large 
to  serve  for  three-year  terms :  Helen 
Cockrell  Henderson  (Mrs.  E.  L.),  De- 
troit, Mich.;  Trurlu  Strickland,  Char- 
lotte, X.  C. ;  and  Louisa  Hooker  Bourne 


(Mrs.  C.  W.,  Jr.),  Greensboro.  X.  C. 

Awards  were  given  to  various  alum- 
nae at  the  informal  dinner  held  Satur- 
day evening  in  the  West  Campus  Union 
at  which  President  Edens,  C.  A.  Dukes, 
director  of  Alumni  Affairs,  and  student 
leaders  were  guests. 

Blanche  Moss,  '23,  was  recognized  as 
being  the  first  to  register  for  the  Week 
End.  Coming  from  the  greatest  distance 
was  Lee  Anne  Seawell  of  Athens,  Ga. 
Miss  Mamie  Jenkins  and  Miss  Annie 
Pcgram,  both  members  of  the  class  '96, 
represented  the  oldest  class  with  members 
present.  The  delegations  from  Raleigh 
and  Asheboro  were  the  largest  from  any 
of  the  cities  represented.  Classes  with 
members  present  ranged  from  '93  to  '50. 

All-Duke  Program 

Featured  on  the  program  this  year 
were  members  of  the  Duke  faculty  and 
students.  Dr.  Weston  La  Barre  spoke  to 
the  alumnae  following  a  dinner  in  the 
Woman's  College  cafeteria  Friday  eve- 
ning. His  subject,  "The  Family,  Its 
Functions  and  Its  Future,"  touched  the 
widely  varied  concepts  of  family  life 
held  throughout  the  world.  Dr.  La  Barre 
described  the  many  customs  which  are 
strange  to  our  culture,  and  his  conclu- 
sion was  that  the  family  life  in  America 
is  superior  to  the  others. 

Following  the  lecture,  alumnae  attended 
a  coffee  hour  in  East  Duke  Building. 
Daughters  of  alumnae  were  hostesses  for 
the  occasion. 

After  visiting  the  campus  Saturday 
morning,  alumnae  heard  Dr.  Marianna 
Jenkins,  associate  dean  of  undergraduate

instruction  at  the  Woman's  College  and 
assistant  professor  of  art,  speak  on  the 
controversial  theme  "Are  Modern  'Isms' 
Modern?" 

Later  in  the  morning,  a  student  panel 
discussed  the  question  "Can  Democracy 
Survive?"  for  the  group.  The  Moderator 
was  Alan  Raywid,  '52,  Washington,  D. 
C,  and  participants  were  John  O.  Black- 
burn, '51,  Miami,  Fla.;  Joan  Craig,  '51, 
Camp  Hill,  Pa.;  Dante  L.  Germino,  '53, 
Durham;  and  Beryl  Roberts,  '54,  Ashe- 
ville,  X.  C.  Alumnae  were  impressed 
with  the  deep  thinking  of  today's  stu- 
dents, and  expressed  a  desire  to  continue 
having  student  panels  at  their  future 
meetings. 

At  the  Alumnae  Association  meeting  at 
luncheon  on  Saturday,  a  suggestion  was 
made  that  Alumnae  Week  End  be  held 
every  other  year  or  discontinued  for  the 
duration  of  the  national  emergency.  The 
matter  hid  been  discussed  the  previous 
afternoon  at  Alumnae  Council  meeting. 
The  proposal  to  cease  having  Alumnae 
Week  End  was  voted  down  unanimously. 
It  was  felt  that  the  Week  End  means 
much  to  alumnae  and  to  the  University, 
and  it  was  decided  to  continue  having 
it  as  long  as  the  national  situation 
permits. 

The  meeting  was  adjourned  after  Dr. 
R.  Florence  Brinkley,  professor  of  Eng- 
lish and  dean  of  the  Woman's  College, 
and  Miss  Florence  Wilson,  dean  of  the 
School  of  Xursing,  gave  reports  to  the 
alumnae  on  the  activities  of  the  Woman's 
College  and  the  School  of  Xursing. 

Students  Participate 

Seniors  from  the  Woman's  College  and 
the  School  of  Xursing  were  honored  at  a 
tea  held  Saturday  afternoon  at  the  Uni- 
versity House  by  the  Alumnae  Associa- 
tion. It  was  an  opportunity  for  return- 
ing alumnae  to  talk  with  students  and 
get  to  know  them. 

Following  the  Saturday  night  dinner, 
alumnae  were  entertained  by  a  student 
variety  program  which  included  the  Duke 
Brass  Ensemble  conducted  by  Robert 
Gray,  the  Madrigal  Singers  directed  by 
Mrs.  Eugenia  Saville,  and  the  Modern 
Dance  Group  led  by  Modena  Lewis. 

A  coffee  hour  given  by  the  members  of 
Phi  Kappa  Delta,  senior  woman's  hon- 
orary, was  given  for  the  alumnae  later 
Saturday   evening. 

Dr.  Ray  Petry.  professor  of  church 
history,  delivered  a  sermon,  "Lift  Up 
Your  Hearts,"  at  the  regular  worship 
service  in  the  University  Chapel  on  Sun- 
day.   His  words  were  especially  directed

to  those  returning  alumnae  who  were  in 
the  congregation. 

The  concluding  event  of  a  full  Alum- 
nae Week  End  was  an  organ  recital  by 
Samuel  Tilghman  Morris,  head  of  the  Or- 
gan Department  at  Hollins  College.  His 
program  featured  works  of  Mozart,  Bach, 
Cesar  Franek,  and  Marcel  Dupre.  Mr. 
Morris  has  studied  under  some  of  the 
most   eminent   organists  of  the  day. 


The  Alumnae  Week  End  program 
committee,  which  planned  the  activities 
for  the  three  days,  included  Chairman 
Mary  Shotwell,  '06,  Oxford,  X.  C. ;  Mary 
Anna  Howard,  '31,  Durham;  Mildred 
Crawley,  R.X.,  B.S.N.  '44,  B.S.N.Ed.  '49. 
Durham;  Alma  Hull,  '36,  Charlotte;  Ida 
Applewhite  Barber  (Mrs.  W.  L.),  '36,

Raleigh. 


Summer  Session  Program  Announced 


The  1951  Summer  Session  program 
beginning  June  12,  will  be  one  of  the 
most  extensive  in  the  University's  his- 
tory, according  to  plans  just  announced 
by  Dr.  Paul  H.  Clyde,  director. 

Entering  students  will  be  admitted  to 
the  freshman  class  in  June,  as  part  of 
the  program  to  meet  educational  needs 
during  the  period  of  national  emergency. 
Upperclassrnen,  meanwhile,  are  expected 
to  enroll  for  summer  courses  in  lai-ger 
numbers,  as  they  strive  to  complete  re- 
quirements for  degrees  before  facing  the 
military  service. 

This  intensification  of  undergraduate 
activity  in  the  Summer  Session  will  be 
accompanied  by  an  expanded  program  of 
institutes,  conferences,  and  workshops, 
many  of  which  are  annually  scheduled 
and  others  which  are  innovations  this 
year.  Prominent  among  the  new  con- 
ferences is  the  Science  Teachers  Labora- 
tory, to  take  place  from  Julv  23  through 
July  27. 

The  Acceleration 

Attracted  to  the  Summer  Session  by 
the  acceleration  program  will  be  those 
men  students  who  are  uncertain  as  to 
their  academic  future  and  who  are  anx- 
ious to  move  as  far  along  as  possible  to- 
ward a  degree  before  being  plucked  out 
of  school  for  military  service.  Draft 
laws  affecting  college  'students  are  still 
not  crystallized  completely,  and  most 
students  have  the  feeling  that  existing 
national  policies  are  subject  to  moment 
tarv  change. 

Enrolling,  therefore,  for  summer  study 
will  be  (1)  undergraduates  attempting 
to  ^  complete  desree  requirements  as 
quickly  as  possible;  (>)  high  school 
graduates  entering  as  freshmen  in  order 
to  get  as  much  work  behind  them  as 
there  is  time  for:  and  (3)  students  of 
other  colleges  and  universities  who  find 
it  convenient  to  take  work  at  Duke  dur- 
ing the  summer  and  then  have  their 
credits  transferred  to  their  own  colleges. 

By  attending  classes  12  months  during 
the  year,  a  student  may  graduate  in  three 


instead  of  four  years,  and  then,  as  things 
appear  now,  take  basic  training  in  sea- 
manship or  infantry  tactics  in  lieu  of  ac- 
cumulated vacation. 

Also  attending  the  Summer  Session 
will  be  graduate  students  working  to- 
ward advanced  degrees  or  professional 
advancement,  post-doctorate  scholars  do- 
ing special  research  which  requires  the 
University's  wealth  of  facilities,  and  pro- 
fessional people,  including  teachers,  who 
will  attend  conferences  and  institutes  to 
become  familiar  with  the  latest  knowl- 
edge and  methods  in  their  fields. 

New  Courses 

The  members  of  Duke  faculties  who  re- 
main to  teach  during  the  summer  will 
be  supplemented  by  a  number  of  dis- 
tinguished teachers  from  other  institu- 
tions, and  new  courses  will  be  opened  for 
Summer    Session   students. 

A  course  in  acarology  (the  study  of 
mites)  will  be  given  bv  the  zoology  de- 
partment for  professional  workers,  and 
it  will  be  the  only  course  of  its  kind  ever 
offered  in  any  university. 

The  English  Department  has  added 
two  new  speech  courses,  methods  in 
teaching  speech  and  American  oratory, 
courses  in  Poe.  Hawthorne,  and  Melville, 
and  is  emphasizing  play  production,  his- 
tory of  the  theater,  and  contemporary 
literature. 

The  popular  and  internationally  known 
School  of  Spanish  Studies  (June  12-July 
21)  will  add  to  its  curriculum  a  treat- 
ment of  contemporary  Spanish-American 
literature  by  generations.  The  Division 
of  Nursing  Education  has  added  a  course 
in  nursing  education  problems  in  nurs- 
ing care  and  a  seminar  in  medical  and 
surgical  specialty. 

At  Beaufort,  X.  C.  where  the  Duke 
Marine  Laboratory  is  located,  new  courses 
will  include  a  study  of  aquatic  popula- 
tions and  a  study  of  invertebrate  em- 
bryology, dealing  with  animals  native  to 
salt  water.  The  marine  lab  will  be  open 
for  two  terms,  from  June  12  to  July  21, 
and  from  Julv  23  to  August  31. 


The  Department  of  Education  will  pre- 
sent a  full  program  both  terms  for  can- 
didates for  advanced  degrees.  Special 
courses  will  be  given  for  teachers,  super- 
visors, and  administrators  for  certifica- 
tion. 

Special  Conferences 

Throughout  the  summer  there  will  be 
various  institutes,  conferences,  and  work- 
shops on  the  campus.  The  schedule  of 
these  events  is  now  complete  and  in- 
cludes : 

North  Carolina  Conference  for  Social 
Studies— June  19-22. 

School  of  Spanish  Studies — June  12- 
July  21. 

Nursing  Education  Workshop — June

mer courses  at  Duke,  or  attending  any 
of  the  various  conferences,  are  advised  to

Gardens  in  Bloom 

Nature,  with  a  little  assistance  from 
the  gardeners,  is  adding  the  finishing 
touches  for  the  annual  spring  pageant 
of  color  in  the  Sarah  P.  Duke  gardens 
at  Duke. 

The  gardens  reach  their  full  beauty 
in  mid-April.  The  Japanese  cherry 
trees  and  magnolias  have  begun  to 
bloom.  Masses  of  red  buds  have  been 
covering  the  crab-apple  trees,  and 
forsythia  and  spirea  have  flowered. 
Pansies,  hearts-ease  and  many  vari- 
eties of  narcissus  blossomed  along  the 
pathways  during  March,  and  banks 
have  been  covered  with  daffodils  and 
periwinkle. 

The  annual  pilgrimage  of  nature 
lovers  began  Easter  week  end,  when 
many  hundreds  of  visitors  visited  the 
gardens.  As  the  gardens  unfold  their 
spring  loveliness,  visitors  are  welcome 
to  come  to  the  campus  to  enjoy  the 
arrav  of  colorful  blooms.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  April,  1951 


The  wearing  of  the  green  has  become 
a  regular  feature  of  Duke  University 
campus.  The  wearers,  however,  are  not 
paying  homage  to  St.  Patrick  and  old 
Ireland;  they  are  fledgling  officers  in 
Uncle  Sam's  Air  Force,  who  are  training 
under  the  Air  R.O.T.C. 

The  Duke  Unit  of  the  Air  Force  R.O.- 
T.C. was  given  birth  on  July  1,  1949. 
At  that  time  there  was  an  enrollment  of 
only  65  students,  and  Duke  was  one  of 
only  seventeen  colleges  in  the  country  to 
have  the  air-training  program.  Now 
there  are  well  over  a  hundred  colleges 
with  R.O.T.C.  units,  and  Duke  has  re- 
fleeted  the  expansion.  There  are  now 
448  Duke  cadets,  who  spend  five  hours 
every  week  in  training'. 

The  Corps  constitutes  a  regular  de- 
partment of  instruction  known  as  the 
Department  of  Air  Science  and  Tactics. 
Its  object  is  explained  by  Colonel  Byron 
Switzer,  commander  of  the  Duke  Unit 
and  professor  of  Air  Science  and  Tac- 
tics. "Our  immediate  job  here,"  said 
Col.  Switzer,  "is  to  train  these  boys  for 
four  years  in  air-force  fundamentals.  At 
the  end  of  that  time  they  receive  a  com- 
mission in  the  Air  Force  Reserve,  and  the 
outstanding  men  will  be  offered  commis- 
sions in  the  regular  Air  Force." 

Three  of  the  weekly  training  hours  are 
spent  in  the  classroom,  and  an  average 
of  three  semester  hour  credits  is  given 
for  each  of  the  eight  semesters.  The  two 
remaining  hours  are  devoted  to  military 
drill  in  the  good  old-fashioned  manner 
under  T/Sgt.  Anthony  Filardo. 

The  course  is  divided  into  two  parts, 
basic  and  advanced,  and  all  students  en-

an  M-l  rifle  to  a  group  of  cadets  before  Colonel  Switzer.  At  right — Master

Training  Air  Force  Reserves 


This  is  the  second  of  two  articles 
dealing  with  military  training  on  the 
Duke  campus.  The  first,  published 
last  month,  described  how  future  naval 
officers  are  trained  at  the  University. 
The  current  article  is  about  the 
younger  Air  Force  Reserve  program. 
Emphasis  on  armed  service  training- 
is  greater  now,  perhaps,  than  ever  be- 
fore, as  college  men  are  constantly 
aware  of  the  parts  they  may  soon  be 
called  upon  to  play  in  national  de- 
fense. 


rolled  in  the  latter  receive  approximately 
$27.00  a  month  during  the  academic  year. 
All  cadets  wear  the  dark  green  coat  of 
the  Air  Force  officer,  though  the  ad- 
vanced cadets  are  distinguished  from  the 
others  by  their  "pink"  trousers  and  vi- 
sored  service  cap.  Uniforms  are  provided 
free,  and  include  overcoats  where  cli- 
matic conditions  warrant  them,  and  sum- 
mer uniforms  for  those  attending  summer 
camp. 

Areas  of  Training 

Do  the  cadets  receive  wings  when  they 
graduate?  No,  they  don't.  In  fact,  they 
don't  get  any  flight  training  at  all.  As  of 
G-  (Graduation)  Day  they  are  among  the 


50  percent  of  Air  Force  officers  who  are 
administrative  rather  than  flight  person- 
nel. Flight  training  can  come  later — 
R.O.T.C.  graduates  have  top  priority 
on  flight  training — but  it  is  the  concern 
of  the  Air  Force  that  its  flight  officers 
shall  be  more  than  mere  airplane  drivers. 
First  they  must  specialize  in  some  basic 
aspect  of  air  operations. 

Duke  cadets  engage  in  two  of  these 
basic  aspects,  air  installations  engineer- 
ing and  administration  and  supply, 
which  includes  logistics.  The  first  spe- 
cialty is  open  to  civil  engineering  stu- 
dents. Their  civilian  studies  are  adapted 
and  expanded  to  include  problems  of 
airstrip  and  airbase  construction  and 
maintenance,  crash  and  rescue  operations 
and  firefighting.  Administration  and 
Supply  cadets,  taken  from  the  ranks  of 
general  students,  learn  to  handle  the 
business  end  of  Air  Force  operations, 
specializing  for  example  in  the  logistics 
of  airlifting  armament,  munitions,  food, 
fuel  and  similar  supplies. 

Planned  for  the  near  future  is  a  third 
specialty,  air  operations,  whose  officers 
work  on  the  technical  and  non-strategic 
details  of  getting  flights  of  bombers  and 
fighter  aircraft  off  the  ground  and  back 
down  out  of  the  air,  establishing  air 
traffic     control,    planning    missions    and

similar  problems.    This  may  develop  next 
fall  at  Duke. 

In  addition  to  Colonel  Switzer,  an  Air 
Force  Command  pilot  with  many  hours 
of  flying  time  to  his  credit,  other  officers 
attached  to  the  Duke  unit  are  Lt.  Col. 
Jackson  V.  Rambeau,  Major  J.  P.  Mc- 
Bride,  Captain  F.  R.  Renken  and  Cap- 
tain R,  W.  Clark,  '42.  Cadet  Commander 
is  senior  Peter  L.  Kastrinelis,  who  comes 
from  Framing-ham,  Mass. 
As  Part  of  University  Life 

Draft  deferments  are  given  to  some 
members  of  Air  R.O.T.C,  but  as  Colonel 
Switzer  recently  emphasized,  "The  indi- 
vidual enrollee  must  maintain  a  suffi- 
ciently high  R.O.T.C.  and  academic 
standing  to  demonstrate  his  acceptability 
as  a  future  officer  or  he  will  not  be  al- 
lowed to   continue  in  the  program." 

Having  established  itself  in  the  aca- 
demic pattern  of  the  University,  Duke 
Air  R.O.T.C.  is  now  developing  itself 
as  a  social  unit  on  campus.  February  of 
this  year  saw  three  innovations  planned 
to  integrate  more  fully  the  social  activi- 
ties of  the  cadets. 

Last  November  Duke  was  represented 
at  a  conclave  of  the  Arnold  Air  Society, 
held  at  St.  Louis,  Mo.  This  is  a  national 
military  fraternal  organization  to  pro- 
mote outstanding  leadership  and  to  en- 
courage team  work.  In  February,  twelve 
Duke  cadets  were  initiated  into  the  Duke 
Chapter  of  the  Society,  which  was  named 
for  William  A.  Sally,  '40,  a  Duke  alum- 
nus who  was  killed  while  on  aerial  ma- 
neuvers  at    Kellv    Air    Force    Base.     All 


advanced  Air  R.O.T.C.  cadets  are  eligible 
for  membership,  and  the  Duke  Chapter 
is  making  plans  to  have  guest  speakers 
on  current,  particularly  military,  affairs, 
and  to  show  technical  and  general  mili- 
tary films. 

The  first  issue  of  "Contact,"  A.F.R.- 
O.T.C.  paper  edited  by  George  C.  Lynch, 
Duke  junior  from  Alaska,  appeared  on 
February  21.  In  an  editorial  Colonel 
Switzer  writes,  "This,  the  first  issue  of 
the  'Contact'  marks  one  more  milestone  in 
the  record  of  achievement.  I  commend 
you.  May  it  bring  that  pride  of  achieve- 
ment which  is  such  an  important  factor 
toward  creating  a  high  degree  of  morale 
in  the  organization." 

Also  taking  place  in  Februarv  was  the 
first  Air  Force  R.O.T.C.  Ball.  Bill  Byers 
and  his  Duke  Cavaliers  furnished  the 
music  for  the  Ball  which  was  held  in  the 
Fast  Campus  Gym.  The  highlight  of  the 
evening  was  the  crowning  of  an  Honor- 
ary Cadet  Colonel.  Virginia  Lee  Harris, 
a  junior  from  Summit,  N.  J.,  was  chosen, 
and  will  reign  until  the  next  military 
ball. 

In  its  twenty  months  or  so  of  life,  the 
Air  Force  R.O.T.C.  unit  at  Duke  has  be- 
come an  increasingly  important  aspect  of 
university  life,  both  academically  and 
socially. 

No  longer  does  the  Navy  have  things 
all  its  own  way  at  Duke.  A  friendly 
rivalry  exists  between  the  boys  in  blue 
and  the  boys  in  green.  But  beneath  the 
mutual   bantering   that   goes   on   there  is 


the  awareness  of  the  serious  purpose  of 
the  Officer  Training  Corps.  Cadet  Cap- 
tain Joseph  R.  Tamille  expresses  the 
sentiments  of  the  cadet  body  at  large 
when  he  writes  in  an  editorial  appearing 
in  "Contact,"  "We  have  grown  together 
in  both  friendship  and  cooperation,  and 
we  as  Air  Force  cadets  are  learning  the 
meaning  of  honor,  success,  and  failure 
among  ourselves." 

Fraternity  Pledges  Work 
To  Build  City  Playground 

Between  sunup  one  day  and  sundown 
the  next,  a  swarm  of  Duke  fraternity 
pledges,  supervised  by  upperclassmen  and 
Durham  Recreation  Department  officials, 
transformed  a  debris-littered,  stumpy,  un- 
even field  in  Durham  into  a  well- 
equipped  children's  playground.  The  oc- 
casion was  Greek  Week,  a  four -day  pro- 
gram designed  primarily  to  replace  the 
pre-initiation  period,  formerly  known  as 
"Hell- Week,"  with  a  program  of  inter- 
fraternity  activities.  Planned  and  spon- 
sored by  undergraduates,  the  accent  is  on 
cooperation  and  community  service. 

Some  250   pledges  worked  a  total  of

Development  Campaign  and  introduced 
Coach  Bradley,  emphasizing  his  outstand- 
ing success  in  succeeding  the  late  K.  C. 
"Gerry"  Gerard  just  as  the  season 
opened  and  guiding  the  Blue  Devils  into 
the  Southern  Conference  finals. 

Coach  Bradley  discussed  his  favorite 
subject,  basketball,  and  treated  the  group 
with  a  film  of  the  January  6th  Duke- 
X.  C.  State  game,  a  fast  and  furious 
overtime    thriller.

Rocky  Mount,  N.  C. 

Duke  alumni  from  Rocky  Mount,  N.  C, 
and  members  of  the  Rocky  Mount  Sports- 
man's Club  turned  out  by  the  hundreds 
on  March  23  to  pay  tribute  to  a  native 
son  who  made  good — William  D.  Murray, 
'31,  new  head  football  coach  at  Duke  Uni- 
versity— at  a  banquet  in  his  honor  held 
in  the  ballroom  of  the  Ricks  Hotel  in 
Rocky  Mount. 

Among  the  special  guests  present  for 
"Bill  Murray  Night"  was  band  leader 
and  star  of  radio,  television  and  the 
movies  Kay  Kyser,  a  lifelong  friend  of 
the  new  Duke  mentor.  Mr.  Kyser,  a 
Rocky  Mount  native  himself,  was  Bill 
Murray's  first  football  coach  when  he 
starred  on  a  midget  team  known  as  the 
Rocky  Mount  Tigers. 

Also  in  attendance  were  Eddie  Cam- 
eron, director  of  athletics  at  Duke, 
Charles  A.  Dukes,  director  of  alumni  af- 
fairs, Glenn  E.  (Ted)  Mann,  director  of 
sports  information  at  Duke,  and  Freddie 
Crawford,  '34,  former  Duke  football  star 
and  first  North  Carolinian  ever  to  make 
an  All-American  football  team.  William 
Bennett,  '43,  president  of  the  Nash- 
Edgecombe  chapter  of  Duke  alumni,  pre- 
sided. 

Coach  Murray  was  introduced  by  E. 
E.  (Knocker)  Adkins,  '32,  Rocky  Mount 
high  school  athletic  director  and  former 
assistant  to  Bill  Murray  at  Delaware. 
The  new  Duke  coach  said  that  he  re- 
turned to  his  alma  mater  because  "I  saw 


great  things  in  store  there  and  wanted 
to  be  a  part  of  them."  He  was  accom- 
panied to  the  dinner  by  his  daughter, 
Marilyn,  a  Duke  freshman. 

Kay  Kyser  presented  Bill  Murray  with 
an  electric  clock  as  a  homecoming  gift 
from  the  Sportsman's  Club.  After  giving 
him  the  clock,  Mr.  Kyser  quipped,  "This 
is  the  first  time  I  ever  heard  of  a  coach 
getting  the  works  before  he  gets  started." 


Horrors!  Bui  Not  Quite 

If  any  reader  of  these  pages  is  still 
in  doubt  as  to  the  frightful  condition 
of  this  staggering  old  world,  let  him 
give  heed  to  the  following  item.  It 
should  shock  into  a  state  of  horrible 
awareness  the  most  complacent  ostrich 
who  ever  hid  his  head. 

This  occurred  during  the  evening 
of  March  23  in  Rocky  Mount,  N.  C. 
Duke  alumni  of  Nash  and  Edgecomb 
Counties,  having  invited  Coach  Mur- 
ray to  speak  to  them,  were  anxious 
that  other  Rocky  Mount  residents 
have  equal  opportunity  to  welcome 
back  a  popular  native  son.  A  huge 
crowd  gathered,  and,  inevitably,  there 
were  representatives  of  certain  other 
colleges  and  universities. 

From  all  reports,  proceedings  were 
smooth  enough  until  time  came  to 
vote  on  a  new  president  for  the  Asso- 
ciation. It  was  at  this  point  that  an 
alert  presiding  officer  stopped  every- 
thing with  a  mighty  shout.  For  he  had 
discovered  that  a  Wake  Forest  man 
had  nominated  a  Carolina  man  for 
president  of  the  Duke  organization.

Baseball  Prospects  Brightest  in  Ye

Diamond  Victories  Cheer  Devil  Fans 


The  smile  on  the  benevolent  counte- 
nance of  Coach  Jack  Coombs,  as  he  holds 
his  morning  conferences  in  the  southeast 
corner  of  the  Union  lobby,  is  broader 
this  spring-  than  it  has  been  for  some 
several  baseball  seasons  past. 

There  are  several  reasons  for  this 
pleasant  phenomenon.  They  all  concern 
the  great  national  pastime,  as  played 
on  Coombs  Field  by  the  1951  Blue  Devils. 

First,  the  Blue  Devils,  at  this  writing, 
are  on  top  of  their  division  in  the 
Southern  Conference  race.  They  gained 
this  lofty  eminence  on  Saturday,  April 
7,  by  whitewashing  a  Wake  Forest  nine 
that  has  been  persistently  sweeping  con- 
ference and  Big  Four,  as  well  as  na- 
tional, honors  for  the  past  three  years. 
The  Demon  Deacons  had  not  been  blanked 
since  1948,  until  Duke  took  them  8  to  0. 

Second,  the  pitching  of  sophomore 
Joe  Lewis  has  been  sensational  in  his 
first   three   games,   all   of   which   he  won 


handily  and  the  last  of  which  was  the 
Wake    Forest    shindig    mentioned    above. 

Third,  the  Devils  are  also  on  top  of  the 
Big  Four  heap. 

Fourth,  last,  and  by  far  from  least,  the 
Duke  infield  this  season,  in  spite  of  being- 
manned  at  key  corners  by  inexperienced 
sophomores,  is  probably  the  best  in  col- 
legiate baseball. 

This  dream  infield  is  composed  of  Bill 
Werber,  sophomore  son  of  another  fa- 
mous Duke  athlete,  on  first;  Bill  Berg- 
eron, senior  sensation  from  Greenwich, 
Conn.,  on  second;  Dick  Groat,  the  dead- 
eye  basketball  All- America,  at  short;  and 
Tommy  Powers,  last  fall's  slashing  wing- 
back  and  a  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  at  third. 

As  of  mid-April  the  Blue  Devils  had 
won  seven  and  lost  two.  The  pair  of 
losses,  both  by  teams  Duke  defeated  on  a 
previous  day,  brought  temporary  bitter- 
ness to  the  heart  of  Coach  Jack.  Both 
were  lost  on  errors — given  away — in  the 


final  frames  of  what  appeared  to  be  sure 
Duke  victories. 

Michigan  State  picked  up  three  un- 
earned tallies  late  in  the  seventh  inning 
of  the  second  of  a  two-game  series  to 
take  the  contest  8  to  5.  A  few  days  later, 
before  the  kinks  were  out,  Yale  took  an 

11  to  9  victory  by  pushing  across  eight 
runs  in  the  ninth  inning  without  the  bene- 
fit of  a  single  hit.  The  next  day  the 
regular  Coombs  lecture  tour  of  the  Union 
was  cut  short  by  several  unhappy 
minutes. 

But  the  victories  have  brought  smiles 
of  joy.  The  Devils  were  truly  impressive 
in  taking  two  from  Indiana,  23  to  1  and 

12  to  1;  two  from  South  Carolina,  12  to 
7   and   6   to   0 ;   beating  Michigan   State 

7  to  6;  Tale  3  to  1 ;  and  Wake  Forest 

8  to  0. 

Other  members  of  the  squad  are  out- 
fielders John  Carroll,  Dick  Johnson,  Bill 
Robinson,  and  John  Gibbons;  catchers 
Bob  Bensinger,  Dick  Denny,  and  Jack 
MeGuire;  and  pitchers  Bob  Davis,  Frank 
Graham,  Norm  Benfer,  "Lefty"  Carver, 
Bill  Joyce,  Lou  Klein,  Bill  Ward,  John 
White,  and  Jack  Brown. 

Benny  Cavalier,  expected  to  be  a  stal- 
wart in  the  outfield  this  year,  has  been 
out  of  action  since  breaking  a  leg  in 
early  season  practice. 


Three  of  the  Blue  Devils'  pitching  corps  for  the  current  diamond  campaign 
are,  left  to  right,  Prank  Graham,  Joe  Lewis,  and  Bob  Davis.  All  have  shown 
well  in  early  appearances  on  the  mound,  and  can  be  credited  with  Duke's 
high  standing  at  mid-season.

Spring  Teams  Are  Impressive 


Based  on  their  records  at  mid-season, 
Spring  athletic  teams  at  Duke  Univer- 
sity had  rolled  up  some  of  the  best  marks 
of  the  year.  Three  outfits,  track,  la- 
crosse and  golf,  were  undefeated  as  The 
Register  went  to  press,  and  the  tennis 
and  baseball  teams  had  also  looked  im- 
pressive in  early  season  showings. 

The  track  team  especially  looked  good 
in  early  meets.  Not  expected  to  be  par- 
ticularly strong  on  a  Spring  vacation 
tour,  the  track  crew  blasted  the  Univer- 
sity of  Miami  73-53  and  Florida  State 
University  by  103-28  in  dual  meets  and 
looked  good  in  taking  the  majority  of 
the  first  places  in  the  Florida  Relays  at 
Gainesville,  Fla.  Returning  home,  the 
track  crew  gained  a  tie  with  a  strong, 
undefeated  Princeton  outfit  by  a  65%- 
65%  count.  Princeton  had  previously 
handed  North  Carolina  its  first  dual 
track  loss  in  three  years.  The  cindermen 
were  very  impressive,  too,  in  the  Caro- 
lina Relays,  although  no  team  score  was 
kept. 

Top  performers  for  Duke's  outstand- 
ing track  aggregation  thus  far  have  been 
runners  Henry  Poss,  Tommy  Reeves, 
Captain  John  "Buddy"  Grisso,  John 
Tate,  Billy  Anderson,  Dick  Sykes,  Jim 
Chamberlain  and  Art  Loub,  plus  field 
men  James  "Tank"  Lawrence,  John  Con- 
ner, Carl  James  and  Frank  Nichols. 

Poss  turned  in  a  fast  time  of  9.7  sec- 
onds for  the  100-yard  dash  against  Flori- 
da State  University  and  missed  the  Duke 


broad  jump  record  by  an  inch  against 
the  same  team.  For  this  show,  Poss  was 
elected  "Athlete  of  the  Week"  on  April 
3  by  the  Greensboro,  N.  C.  Daily  News. 

Paced  by  co-captains  Louis  McLennan 
and  Mike  Souehak,  the  latter  of  football 
fame  as  an  end,  the  golf  team  rolled  to 
five  straight  wins  over  Georgia  Tech, 
Georgia,  Clemson,  Davidson  and  Wil- 
liams. The  closest  decision  the  Blue 
Devils  took  was  a  golf  victory  by  seven 
points,  that  coming  against  Georgia.  The 
most  decisive  was  the  25-2  win  over 
Williams. 

The  lacrosse  crew  took  things  easy  in 
rolling  to  decisive  victories  over  Lehigh 
and  Williams  in  early  season  games. 
Although  the  team  does  not  have  the 
depth  it  possessed  last  year  when  it  won 
the  Dixie  League  championship,  Coach 
Jack  Persons'  outfit  looked  especially 
powerful  against  its  first  two  opponents. 
Fred  Eisenbrandt  and  Brooke  Cottman 
have  been  the  early  season  high  scorers. 

Duke's  tennis  team  racked  up  seven 
wins  in  eight  early  matches,  losing  only 
to  Rollins  by  7-2  on  a  Florida  Spring 
vacation  trip.  Wins  have  been  over 
Michigan  State,  Florida  Southern,  Flori- 
da, Williams,  N.  C.  State,  the  Jackson- 
ville, Fla.  Naval  Air  Station,  and  Dart- 
mouth. John  Ross  is  captain  of  the  track 
team,  while  other  top  players  are  basket- 
ball star  Keston  Deimling,  Hal  Lipton, 
Jack  Warmath,  John  Tapley  and  Norm 
Schellenger. 


Buddy  Grisso,  senior  quarter-mile 
dash  runner,  is  captain  of  the  highly 
successful  track  team  this  year. 


Kes  Deimling,  basketball  stalwart 
during  the  winter,  emerges  as  the  No. 
1  man  on  the  tennis  team  this  spring.

Special  to  the  Members  of  the  Class  of  1926 


It  looks  as  though  we  will  reach  our 
"Majority" — come  June,  and  this  calls 
for  a  reunion,  and  we  hope  that  we  can 
throw  the  Bull  around  in  such  fashion  to 
make  it  a  memorable  event.  To  that  end 
Ben  Powell  has  been  placed  as  Chairman 
of  a  committee  on  arrangements ;  Stanton 
Pickens  has  been  assigned  as  Chairman 
of  a  Committee  on  entertainment; 
Charlie  Clegg  will  lead  a  small  "wrecking 
crew"  to  keep  the  wheels  running  finan- 
cially; the  various  "writers"  and  "com- 
mentators" in  our  bull  pen  will  try  and 
exhibit  their  talents  in  the  field  of  libel 
or  slander  by  a  little  publication  of  some 
kind  as  well  we  hope  as  with  some  verbal 
nonsense. 

Bulletins  and  announcements  are  going 
forward  to  you  individually.  In  case  you 
do  not  receive  your  mail  at  the  address 
carried  by  the  Alumni  Office,  then  write 
to  me  at  Raleigh,  or  to  Jack  Caldwell  at 
38  Hillside  Rd.,  Dobbs  Ferry,  N.  Y.,  Earl 
McFee,  207  Essex  Ave.,  Gloucester, 
Mass.,  Frances  Holmes  McCausland, 
3780  Wilshire  Blvd.,  Los  Angeles,  Cal. 
So  far  some  30  of  our  Bulls  and  Bullettes 
have  met  to  discuss  plans  for  the  reunion. 
All  plan  to  attend  and  many  of  you  have 
received  letters  from  them  urging  your 
attendance.     Plan    to    come    back — with 


husband  or  wife  and  children  and  im- 
pedimenta not  otherwise  specified.  We 
will  try  and  provide  baby  sitters  and 
nurses   for    those   needing   such    services. 

So  plan  to  be  on  hand  June  2-3-4,  or 
any  part  thereof  and  let  us  know  what 
you  want — how  you  want  it  and  any 
screwball  ideas  for  the  event  will  be 
most  welcome.  If  you  want  dormitory 
accommodations  please  make  sure  you 
check  that  item  on  the  form  which  will 
be  sent  to  you  shortly  or  write  direct  to 
the  Alumni  Office.  If  you  desire  hotel 
rooms,  please  write  direct  to  the  Durham 
hotel  of  your  choice. 

For  sometime  you  will  continue  to  re- 
ceive letters  and  notices  relative  to  de- 
tailed plans.  Ed.  Cannon

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  April,  1951 


Few  occupations  offer  a  man  so  much  in  the  way 
of  personal  reward  as  life  underwriting.  Many  New 
York  Life  agents  are  building  very  substantial  futures 
for  themselves  by  helping  others  plan  ahead  for  theirs. 
If  you  would  like  to  know  more  about  a  life  insurance 
career,  talk  it  over  with  the  New  York  Life  manager 
in  your  community — or  write  to  the  Home  Office  at 
the  address  above. 


'ARM  IIP 


"Mr.  Kent  will  see  you  in  a  few  minutes," 
the  receptionist  said  pleasantly. 

"Thank  you."  Tom  Wilson  went  to  the  far 
side  ot  the  room  and  sat  down.  This  was  his 
first  "big"  call,  on  his  own,  as  a  New  York 
Life  agent  and  he  was  nervous,  frankly 
nervous. 

Tom  picked  up  a  magazine  and  turned  a 
few  pages  idly.  He  had  that  same  tense  feel- 
ing in  his  stomach  that  he  had  the  day  he 
pitched  his  first  big  baseball  game  in  college. 
Tom  put  the  magazine  down  and  let  his  mind 
wander  back  to  the  baseball  diamond  and 
that  first  big  game. 

He  remembered  warming  up,  he  and  the 
catcher,  standing  along  the  first  base  line. 
Then  Tom  had  gone  over  to  talk  with  his 
mother,  who  was  sitting  just  behind  the 
screen  where  she  could  see  every  pitch.  Her 
understanding  smile  turned  out  to  be  the 
best  part  ot  the  warm-up. 

Tom  had  been  so  proud  of  her,  looking  as 
smart  as  any  ot  the  girls  and,  when  she 
laughed,  looking  almost  as  young.  Nobody 
would  have  guessed  that  she  had  borne  the 
cares  of  the  family  all  alone,  helped  only  by 
the  memories  ot  her  husband  and  an  income 
from  the  life  insurance  he  had  so  thought- 
fully left  her. 

Tom  had  been  proud  ot  his  father,  too,  for 
the  love  and  forethought  which  had  made  it 
possible  for  his  mother  and  himself  to  live 
and  grow,  not  hemmed  in  by  want.  In  fact,  it 
was  the  deep  realization  ot  all  the  things  lite 
insurance  had  made  possible  tor  his  family — 
and  could  make  possible  for  others — which 
had  led  Tom  to  become  a  New  York  Lite 
agent  himself  .  .  . 

The  receptionist's  voice  punctured  Tom's 
thoughts.  "Mr.  Kent  will  see  you  now." 

"Fine,"  he  said.  He  got  up  and  started  to 
Mr.  Kent's  office.  The  warm-up  was  over. 
He  had  the  confidence  he  needed  now.

friends,  Duke  University,  which  we  have  served  since  1931,  as 
printers  of  the  nationally  recognized  Chanticleer  —  and  in  nu- 
merous other  ways  through  the  years.

with  a  bit  of  information  about  the  con- 
cert. This  was  put  on  the  air  by  three 
stations.  Another  station  used  almost 
the  entire  album  in  a  half  hour  program 
customarily  devoted  to  classical  music. 
On  still  another  station,  a  disc  jockey 
used  them  each  night  for  several  nights 
with  information  about  the  concert.  (I 
understand  some  of  the  boys  picked  this 
up  in  Durham.)  Then,  on  my  station,  we 
used  selections  from  the  album  as  inci- 
dental music  on  several  programs. 

We  had  a  turn-out  of  probably  700 
for  the  concert.  The  boys  gave  their 
usual  wonderful  performance,  and  we 
felt  the  project  was  a  complete  success. 
Thank  you  very  much  for  coming 
through — as  you  always  do — when  we 
needed  a  bit  of  help.

Duke's  Oldest  Alumnus  Dies  at  96 


preme  Court  of  North  Carolina  in  June, 
1879,  Col.  Abell  opened  his  law  office  in 
Smithfield  and  had  practiced  his  profes- 
sion there  continuously  since  that  time. 
He  was  trying  cases  in  the  Superior 
Court  before  he  was  21  years  old. 

Col.  Abell  was  also  active  for  a  time 
in  the  field  of  politics.  He  was  mayor 
of  Smithfield  for  three  terms,  and  was 
chairman  of  the  Democratic  Executive 
Committee  in  Johnston  County  for  16 
years.  An  outstanding  Democrat,  he  was 
a  presidential  elector  under  Grover 
Cleveland,  and  was  a  delegate  to  the 
National  Democratic  Convention  at  Bal- 
timore in  1912  when  Woodrow  Wilson 
was  first  nominated  for  president.  Until 
recent  years  he  was  a  biennial  delegate 
to  the  State  Convention.  He  served  three 
terms  in  the  State  House  of  Representa- 
tives and  two  terms  in  the  Senate. 

No  one  can  remember  where  Mr.  Abell 
got  the  name  of  "Colonel,"  because  he 
never  served  in  any  of  the  armed  forces. 
He  thought  it  might  have  come  from  his 
earlier  days  of  active  politics. 

At  the  time  of  his  death,  Col.  Abell 
was  senior  partner  in  the  firm  of  Abell, 
Shephard  and  Wood.  He  and  his  part- 
nership had  been  counsel  for  Southern 
Railway  in  Johnston  County  for  more 
than  60  years  and  counsel  for  the  At- 
lantic Coast  Line  Railroad  for  more  than 
half  a  century.  Until  his  last  year  CoL 
Abell  still  went  to  his  office  every  morn-j 
ing,   weather   permitting.' 

Col.  Abell  was  an  excellent  shot  when 
he  was  younger,  and  was  an  enthusiastic 
hunter  and  fisher  until  his  later  yearsj 
when  he  turned  to  gardening  as  a  hobby. 
He  was  blessed  with  perfect  health  and 
eyesight  almost  all  of  his  life. 

Mrs.  Abell,  the  former  Irene  Page  of 
Fayetteville,  whom  Col.  Abell  married  on 
December  17,  1885.  passed  away  just  a 
year  ago.  They  had  seven  children,  four 
of  whom  survive:  Marie  Stevens  (Mrs. 
H.  P.),  lone  George  (Mrs.  Jerry  L.), 
and  Edward  S.  Abell,  Jr.,  all  of  Smith- 
field;  and  Jean  Israel  (Mrs.  W.  L.)  of 
Wilson.  Four  grandchildren;  four  great- 
grandchildren ;  and  two  sisters.  Mrs.  Dan 
Galloway  of  Fairmont  and  Mrs.  George 
Bissett  of  New  York  City,  also  survive. 


COLONEL  ABELL 

"Colonel"  Edward  Stanley  Abell,  '78, 
of  Smithfield,  N.  C,  veteran  attorney, 
political  leader,  and  oldest  living  alum- 
nus of  Duke  University,  died  April  6 
the  day  following  his  96th  birthday. 

Funeral  services  were  conducted  at  the 
Centenary  Methodist  Church,  of  which 
he  had  been  a  member  for  nearly  75 
years,  and  interment  was  in  Riverside 
Cemetery. 

Born  April  5,  1857,  Col.  Abell  attended 
a  free  school  in  Smithfield  for  two  months 
a  year  until  he  was  12  years  old.  He 
then  attended  a  private  school  in  Selma, 
which  was  taught  by  Professor  J.  S. 
Scarborough,  who  later  became  State 
Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction. 
Mr.  Abell  entered  Trinity  College  in  Ran- 
dolph County  when  he  was  but  16,  and 
there  studied  law  under  Dr.  Braxton 
Craven,  president  of  the  college.  During 
the  summer  vacations  he  studied  law 
under  his  father,  the  late  J.  H.  Abell, 
who  was  a  successful  attorney  with  of- 
fices in  Smithfield. 

The  oldest  of  a  family  of  eight  chil- 
dren, Col.  Abell  could  recall  the  days  of 
the  Civil  War  when  several  battles  took 
place  not  too  far  from  his  home. 

Licensed    to    practice   law   by   the    Su-

Campus  Interviews  on  Cigarette  Tests

THE  HARLEQUIN  DUCK 


*  I  may  be  a 
clown— but 
I'm  no  fool!" 


Ah 


.e  might  be  the  merry-andrew  of  the 
marshlands,  but  lately  he's  been 
downright  glum  about  these  trick  cigarette 
mildness  tests.  Never  one  to  duck  facts,  he  holds 
nothing  much  can  he  proved  by  a  sniff  of  one  brand  or 
a  quick  puff  from  another.  Snap  judgments  can't  take 
the  place  of  regular,  day-to-day  smoking. 
That's  why  so  many  smokers  are  turning  to  .  .  . 
The  sensible  test .  . .  the  30-Day  Camel  Mildness  Test,  which  simply 
asks  you  to  try  Camels  as  a  steady  smoke  — on  a  pack-after- 
pack,  day-after-day  basis.  No  snap  judgments  needed.  After 
you've  enjoyed  Camels— and  only  Camels— for  30  days  in  your 
"T-Zone"  (T  for  Throat,  T  for  Taste) ,  we  believe  you"ll  know  why . , . 


More  People  Smoke  Camels 

than  any  other  cigarette!

Jleti&iA. 


The  following  letters  are  from  Marc  Viellet-Lavalee,  '20. 

February  1,  1951 
The  Food  and  Agriculture  Organization  (of  the  United  Nations), 
of  which  I  have  been  associated  for  the  past  four  years,  is  transferring 
its  Headquarters  to  Rome,  Italy.  I  am,  therefore,  leaving  Washington 
to  take  up  residence  in  Rome  but  it  will  take  a  few  weeks  before  I 
get  settled  there.  I  shall  send  you  my  new  address  as  soon  as  possible. 
I  had  hoped  to  visit  Duke  University  before  leaving,  but  pressure 
of  work  has  been  such  that  I  have  not  been  able  to  get  away  from 
Washington.  I  regret  very  much  missing  this  opportunity  but  shall  try 
to  visit  you  whenever  I  may  happen  to  return  to  the  United  States. 

April  3,  1951 

Your  kind  letter  of  6th  February  reached  me  in  Rome  about  a 
week  ago.  As  you  are  aware,  I  left  Washington  early  in  February 
and  it  was  almost  five  weeks  before  I  arrived  in  Rome,  as  I  spent  some 
three  weeks  in  Paris  and  elsewhere  in  France. 

I  have  just  rented  an  apartment  and  my  personal  address  now  is  the 
following:  Via  Guido  d'Arezzo  2,  Interno  7,  Rome,  Italy. 

There  is,  of  course,  no  prospect  of  my  returning  to  the  United 
States  in  1951.  But  when  I  do  go  back,  I  shall  certainly  do  my  best 
to  visit  Duke  again.  I  have  very  warm  feelings  for  my  old  Alma 
Mater  and  all  the  friends  I  have  there. 

If  there  is  anything  I  can  do  here  in  Rome  for  Duke  alumni  who 
happen  to  come  over  I  shall  be  only  too  pleased  to  help. 

Choir  Welcomes  Old  Members 

Alumni  and  alumnae  who  were  once  members  of  the  Chapel  Choir 
will  find  their  same  old  seats  in  the  choir  loft  awaiting  them  whenever 
they  return  to  the  campus  for  a  visit.  All  they  have  to  do  is  appear 
in  time  for  the  final  practice  just  before  the  Sunday  service  and  they 
may  again  add  their  voices  to  the  sacred  strains.  Student  choir  mem- 
bers will  gladly  make  room  in  the  choir  loft  for  the  returning  vocalists. 

With  Commencement  approaching  and  summer  vacations  pending, 
alumni  and  alumnae  are  especially  invited  to  take  advantage  of  this 
constant  opportunity  to  become  an  active  member  of  the  college  com- 
munity and  the  Duke  Chapel  Choir  once  again. 

THIS  MONTH'S  COVER 

A  moderate  frenzy  of  fun  and  foolishness  seemed  appropriate 
for  the  period  just  preceding  final  exams,  especially  for  the 
seniors,  whose  undergraduate  days  of  comparative  freedom  from 
worldly  cares  are  almost  over.  Joe  College  Week  End  filled  the 
bill  perfectly.  Inaugurated  before  World  War  II,  the  event  was 
suspended  for  several  years  during  hostilities  and  chaos  that 
followed.  With  a  vivid  sense  of  drama  students  lampooned  their 
own  college  fads  and  customs  by  elaborately  overdoing  them.  A 
highlight  was  a  parade  from  West  Campus  to  East  Campus,  fol- 
lowed by  a  field  day  of  comedy  events.

About  the  Campaign 

When  the  Duke  University  National  Council  meets  at 
Commencement,  a  report  on  the  progress  of  the  Develop- 
ment Campaign  will  be  given.  Thousands  of  alumni  have 
done  an  outstanding  job  of  making  this  undertaking  a 
success. 

If,  however,  you  have  been  asked  to  see  some  of  your  fel- 
low alumni  and  haven't  completed  your  task,  please  do  so 
as  soon  as  possible.  If  you  are  not  in  a  community  where 
an  active  personal  solicitation  for  the  Development  Cam- 
paign is  being  conducted,  don't  worry.  You  will  not  be 
overlooked.  In  every  section  where  there  is  a  sufficient 
concentration  of  alumni,  they  will  be  given  an  oppor- 
tunity, sooner  or  later,  to  participate  in  this  program, 
which  is  so  vital  to  the  future  of  Duke. 

Remember  Duke  University  is  counting  on  every  for- 
mer student  to  make  his  gift  as  large  as  possible,  based  on 
a  three-year  commitment.  Though  we  have  said  this  be- 
fore, like  the  advertisers,  once  again  we  repeat,  "This  is 
the  first  time  in  25  years  alumni  and  friends  of  the  insti- 
tution have  been  asked  to  make  a  capital  gift  to  the 
institution. ' '  The  Loyalty  Fund  and  the  capital  gifts  pro- 
gram are  one  and  the  same,  if  the  commitment  is  made 
over  a  three-year  period.  The  Loyalty  Fund  is  not  to  be 
discontinued,  but  will  be  started  again  at  the  end  of  the 
commitment  period  for  the  Development  Campaign. 


The  student  participation  completes  the  entire  Univer- 
sity family  circle,  every  division  of  which  is  now  sharing 
in  a  magnificent  manner. 


One  of  the  finest  things  that  has  ever  happened  on  the 
Duke  campus  has  been  the  volunteer  campaign  put  on  by 
the  students,  among  the  students,  for  the  Development 
Campaign. 

Several  weeks  ago,  representatives  of  some  of  the  stu- 
dent organizations  came  to  the  Alumni  Office  and  re- 
quested permission  to  share  in  the  Development  Campaign. 
They  were  referred  to  President  Edens,  who  told  them 
that,  if  the  movement  among  the  students  was  entirely 
voluntary,  he  would  be  glad  to  give  his  permission. 

The  students  then  invited  a  representative  of  every  stu- 
dent organization  to  attend  a  meeting  and  hear  the  Presi- 
dent tell  about  Duke's  present  and  future.  This  meeting 
resulted  in  a  campus-wide  campaign  which  has  just  been 
launched. 

More  than  500  students  are  preparing  letters  to  be 
mailed  to  parents  and  materials  for  use  by  solicitation 
committees  which  will  reach  every  student  on  the  campus. 
The  students  will  contribute  whatever  the}7  can,  according 
to  their  ability.  In  so  doing  they  say  to  the  world  at 
large  that  they  are  grateful  to  those  people,  who,  because 
of  their  interest  in  the  past,  have  made  the  institution 
what  it  is  today,  and  to  the  alumni  and  friends  and  all 
others  who  are  now  sharing  in  this  program  to  make 
Duke's  opportunities  for  service  even  greater. 


In  and  Out 

Majr  we  remind  you  that  Commencement  is  June  1,  2,  3, 
and  4,  and  that,  if  you  haven 't  made  plans  to  attend,  there 
is  still  time,  provided  you  hurry.  The  Special  Occasions 
Committee  of  the  National  Council  has  made  another 
innovation  in  the  program  for  returning  alumni  which 
we  believe  will  meet  with  universal  approval. 

On  Saturday  evening  immediately  following  the  Gen- 
eral Alumni  Dinner,  the  Hoof  'n'  Horn  Club  of  Duke 
University  will  present  "Belles  and  Ballots,"  its  spring 
musical  comedy.  The  Hoof  \\ '  Horn  Club  is  a  student 
organization  that  writes,  produces,  and  directs  all  of  its 
own  productions.  This  year,  the  ingenuity  of  the  students, 
plus  their  enthusiastic  presentations,  takes  you  on  a  pleas- 
ant trip  to  the  nineties. 

For  a  number  of  years  the  returning  alumni  have  asked 
that  they  be  given  an  opportunity  to  see  the  work  of 
some  of  the  student  organizations.  This  year's  change  in 
program  is  the  result  of  these  requests. 

The  admission  price  to  the  musical  is  reasonable,  to 
say  the  least — only  $1.00.  Not  only  will  the  alumni  at- 
tending the  dinner  have  an  opportunity  to  see  the  presen- 
tation, but  it  will  be  open  to  parents  of  students,  students, 
and  the  general  public.  In  order  to  reduce  expenses  seats 
will  not  be  reserved  but  a  special  section  will  be  reserved 
for  those  attending  the  General  Alumni  Dinner.  We  sug- 
gest»  therefore,  that  those  planning  to  attend  write  the 
Alumni  Office  immediately  for  tickets.  Alumni  are  urged 
to  give  their  complete  and  enthusiastic  support  to  this 
Commencement  feature  if  they  wish  similar  student  at- 
tractions presented  in  the  future. 


The  golf  tournament  will  be  held  for  the  third  year.  It 
will  be  sponsored  by  the  Class  of  '41  with  Robert  J. 
Montfort  as  class  chairman.  Mr.  Floyd  S.  Bennett,  our 
No.  1  alumnus,  will  be  in  charge  of  the  occasion.  Prizes  will 
be  awarded  for  faculty,  trustee,  and  alumni  participation. 

Classes  which  have  not  arranged  for  representation  are 
requested  to  do  so.  The  tournament  is  to  take  place  at 
the  Hope  Valley  Country  Club  Friday  afternoon  and  Sat- 
urday morning. 

Last  year  the  booby  prize  was  won  by  a  score  of  135. 
Surely  you  can  beat  this.  If  you  can't,  we  shall  expect 
you  to  win  the  booby. 


Rooms,  at  a  minimum  charge,  will  be  available  on  the 
campus  for  parents  of  students,  single  alumni,  and  alumni 
couples.  Those  desiring  to  stay  in  the  dormitories  should 
make  reservations  in  advance.

June  Exercises  End  Another  Year 


Another  academic  year  will  close  with 
Commencement  Exercises  extended  over 
the  three-day  period  between  June  2  and 
4,  and  when  degrees  have  been  awarded 
as  the  finale  of  the  occasion,  something 
more  than  1,000  young  men  and  women, 
graduates  and  undergraduates,  will  move 
into  a  future  even  more  uncertain  than 
usual. 

This  fact,  however,  has  failed  notice- 
ably to  subdue  the  high  spirits  of  young- 
men  and  women  about  to  finish  their  col- 
lege careers.  Seniors  are  bending  to  the 
task  of  preparing  for  final  examinations 
with  a  little  greater  intensity.  Candi- 
dates for  graduate  degrees  are  plugging 
to  finish  all-important  theses.  Failure  for 
today's  students  doesn't  always  mean'  an- 
other chance,  and  present  opportunities, 
therefore,  cannot  be  regarded  too  lightly. 

But  despite  these  serious  considerations, 
the  campus  is  rapidly  assuming  the  famil- 
iar jubilant  air  that  invariably  heralds 
the  Commencement  season.  And,  as  usual, 
the  senior  class  prepares  to  leave  the 
University  with  a  sense  of  triumph  and 
achievement  tempered  by  the  sadness  of 
departure.  This  sadness  is  reflected  in 
farewell  columns  in  the  Chronicle,  con- 
versation, and  thoughtful  expressions  of 
faces  regarding  for  the  last  few  times 
such  familiar  scenes  as  the  Chapel  tower, 
the  flagstone  walks,  and  the  shaggy  oaks 
that  adorn  both  campuses. 

Later,  however,  these  students  of  1951 
will  return  to  future  Commencements  to 


refresh  old  and  pleasant  memories,  recall 
youthful  experiences,  and  revive  and 
strengthen  the  knowledge  and  sense  of 
permanent  values  that  the  University  im- 
parted during  the  process  of  education. 

They  will  return,  just  as  in  1951  stu- 
dents of  other  years  will  return  to  renew 
their  attachment  to  Duke  and  to  recog- 
nize the  role  that  the  University  continues 
to  play  in  their  lives. 

Many  Are  Expected 

This  year  a  record  breaking  number  of 
former  students  are  expected  to  be  on 
hand  for  Commencement  Exercises.  One 
reason  is  the  stronger  interest  that  alumni 
have  taken  in  University  affairs  during 
1950-51  through  such  activities  as  the 
Development  Campaign  and  already  vis- 
ible effects  of  new  programs  instituted  by 
a  still  new  president. 

To  accommodate  those  who  will  return, 
to  make  their  visits  enjoyable  and  worth 
while,  the  University  organizations  of 
fellow  alumni,  and  Commencement  com- 
mittees have  cooperated  to  plan  what  will 
certainly  be  one  of  the  greatest  Com- 
mencement   programs    in    Duke's   history. 

Some  e\ents  will  be  especially  for 
alumni;  some  especially  for  students;  but 
most  will  be  for  every  member,  past, 
present,  and  even  future,  of  the  Univer- 
sity community. 

Activities  for  alumni  will  begin  on  Fri- 
day, June  1,  with  the  third  annual 
Alumni   Golf   Tournament   at   Hope  Val- 


ley. The  tournament  this  year  is  spon- 
sored by  the  Class  of  1941,  tenth  reunion 
class,  and  will  continue  through  Satur- 
day morning.  Winners  will  be  announced 
at  the  General  Alumni  Association  meet- 
ing Saturday  night. 

The  second  major  event  for  all  return- 
ing alumni  will  be  the  annual  dinner 
meeting  of  the  General  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation in  West  Campus  Union,  beginning 
at  6:15  p.m.  Saturday,  June  2.  Presid- 
ing will  be  C.  B.  Houek,  '22,  retiring- 
president  of  the  Association. 

Hoof  'n'  Horn  Show 

Following  the  Association  dinner  meet- 
ing the  new  feature  of  Commencement 
will  be  inaugurated.  This  is  a  production 
of  the  Hoof  V  Horn,  student  musical 
comedy  organization,  this  year  entitled 
'•Belles  and  Ballots."  Alumni  who  pur- 
chase tickets  for  the  production  with  their 
Saturday  dinner  tickets  will  find  a  special 
section  of  seats  reserved  for  them  in  Page 
Auelitorium.  Other  than  this,  there  will 
be  no  reserved  seats. 

Reunion  Classes 

The  classes  which  are  holding  reunions 
June  1,  2,  and  3  will  each  have  their  own 
schedule  of  special  activities.  They  are 
'01,  '10,  '11,  '12,  '26,  '35,  '36,  '37,  '41, 
and  '49. 

There  will  also  be  a  number  of  events 
planned  in  which  all  returning  alumni 
Will  take  part.  In  adelition  to  the  Hoof 
'n'    Horn    show    and    the    annual    alumni

Half  Century  Club  Luncheon  on  Sunday, 
June  3.  At  that  time,  members  of 
the  class  will  be  inducted  into  the  Club. 

1910,  1911,  1912 

A  joint  luncheon  of  the  classes  of  1910,

home  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  A.  S.  Brower. 

1926 

Class  President,  Edward  L.  Cannon, 
and  his  committees  have  gone  all  out  to 
plan  a  fun-packed  week  end  for  this  year's 
Silver  Anniversary  Class  of  1926.  The 
committee  in  charge  of  publication  has 
prepared  biographical  sketches  of  all  class 
members.  Along  with  other  week  end 
activities,  the  committees  in  charge  of 
local  arrangements  and  of  entertainment, 
headed  by  Benjamin  Powell,  Durham,  and 
Stanton  Pickens,  Charlotte,  respectively, 
have  planned  a  special  class  dinner  Sun- 
day night,  and  a  tea  to  be  held  for  the 
class  and  members  of  the  Duke  faculty  of 
their  generation. 

1935,  1936,  1937 

A  royal  welcome  awaits  the  classes  of 
1935,  1936,  and  1937.  The  program  is 
packed  with  action.  In  addition  to  the 
schedule  of  general  alumni  activities  for 
all  returning  classes,  there  will  be  an 
open  house  Friday  evening  at  the  Hope 
Valley  Country  Club  and  a  picnic  on 
Saturday  at  Smith's  Cabin  on  the  Wake 
Forest  Highway  for  the  three  classes. 

1941 

According  to  reunion  chairman  R.  F. 
(Bob)  Long,  plans  for  the  tenth  year 
reunion  of  the  Class  of  1941  are  just 
about  complete.  There'll  be  a  continuous 
program  for  every  interest — a  golf  tour- 
nament— open  houses — cabin  parties — 
campus  tours — a  beach  party — in  fact 
everything  that  will  make  a  reunion 
complete. 


1949 
The  Class  of  1949  will  be  returning  to 
the  Duke  campus  for  their  first  class  re- 
union.    Betty  Bob  Walters  Walton  (Mrs. 
Loring   B.,    Jr.),    general    chairman,    and 


her  committee  have  made  plans  for  a  class 
picnic  at  Gate  7  on  Sunday.  They  promise 
a  good  time  for  everyone.  The  class  of 
1949  will  also  take  part  in  the  many  other 
activities  planned  for  returning  alumni. 


"What  Is  Duke?" 

The  lines  below  were  penned  by  a  member  of  one  of  the  younger  reunion  classes 
in  contemplation  of  rejoining  his  classmates  on  the  campus  this  June.  While  the 
author  modestly  prefers  to  remain  cloaked  in  classical  anonymity,  the  Register  feels 
that  his  work  is  worthy  of  publication  at  this  particular  season  of  the  year. 

Reference  to  Duke  is  always  in  the 
present  because  it  lives  on  in  time  and 
space  through  our  lives.  It  is  a  many- 
sided  experience  like   a  gem  of  many 


rays  of  light, 
on  a  foggy  night 


facets  giving  off  many 

It  is  the  Chapel 
shrouded  in  mist  and  mystery.  It  is 
the  sepulchral  and  medieval  atmos- 
phere, the  odor  of  stone,  the  roar  and 
tinkling  whisper  of  a  mighty  organ, 
the  gothic  arch,  the  swelling  anthem's 
praise,  and  glowing  stained  glass  .  .  . 
the  preacher  who  anesthetized  and  the 
preacher  who  stirred  strange  and  hid- 
den depths. 

It  is  a  memory  ...  of  freshman 
week  long,  long  ago  ...  of  homesick- 
ness, of  burning  autumn  days,  the 
struggle  of  academic  discipline,  the 
good  and  the  bad  professors,  room- 
mates, bull-sessions,  and  the  wonder  of 
soaring  and  sordid  human  nature. 

It  is  the  smell  of  a  sweaty  dressing 
room,  the  thrill  of  excelling  if  only 
once  in  contest,  the  race  run,  the  panic 
of  examination,  suspense  of  postcard 
grades,  the  football  games,  and  pep 
rallies,  the  quadrangle  riots,  the  night 
serenades,  a  rare  snow,  a  goodnight  by 
flashing  dormitory  lights,  the  spot- 
lights, and  gravel  drives  on  East  .  .  . 
a  girl  .  .  .  the  thrill  of  new  friend- 
ship, the  profound  contact  with  char- 
acter and  wisdom  .  .  .  and  a  dean,  the 
good  shepherd. 

It  is  the  shared  bond  of  nicknames : 
of  "Bishop,"  "Scrappy,"  "Suitcase," 
"Nurmi,"  and  "Uncle,"  and  a  greeting : 
"hey."  It  is  the  remembrance  of  Negro 
characters  on  campus  ...  of  Ralph 
and  "yo  shoes  is  tumble,"  of  Arch  the 
messenger  philosopher,  Big  Bill,  con- 
fidant of  college  presidents,  and  the 
living  relic  of  heroic  Randolph  County 
days,  the  "Old  Chief"  of  the  Union. 
It  is  our  keystone  cops  "Cloud"  and 
"Shadow"  .  .  .  and  the  times  we 
weren't  caught.  It  is  Whitford's  office 
and  room  kevs. 


It  is  "next  gentlemen"  in  the  barber 
shop  and  "thank  you  gentleman"  at 
the  end  of  lecture.  It  is  help  in  time 
of  trouble,  an  understanding  word  and 
a  stinging  rebuke  too  .  .  .  the  resolve, 
the  growth,  and  in  the  end,  an  intan- 
gible development.  It  is  the  paradoxes 
of  youth  .  .  .  worry,  loneliness,  and 
exhilarating  joys. 

It  is  Durham  .  .  .  the  Saddle  Club, 
Blue  Light,  Miller's,  Bailey's,  Rinaldi's, 
the  Center,  the  Carolina,  the  Astor.  .  .  . 
It  is  rolling,  wooded  Piedmont 
hills.  ...  It  is  a  cabin  party  and  a 
country  lane.  .  .  .r  It  is  the  loneliness 
of  murmuring  pines,  and  the  hum  and 
stir  of  city  factories.  It  is  gothic  tow- 
ers by  moonlight  and  lawns  at  noontide. 

It  is  initiation  into  mysterious 
realms  of  secret  orders  .  .  .  and  it  is  a 
crowded  and  sometimes  joyous,  some- 
times tragic  dance  ...  a  special  week- 
end, a  special  date,  a  special  time. 

It  is  springtime  come  as  it  comes 
nowhere  else  ...  it  is  a  hot  June  day 
and  Commencement,  it  is  a  realization 
sometimes  too  late  that  these  truly 
were  the  halcyon  days,  the  golden 
years,  and  this  the  best  of  all  worlds 
.  .  .  where  imperfections  glared  out 
because  of  contrast  with  an  otherwise 
perfect  whole. 

It  is  concealed  but  real  pride  in  say- 
ing "I  went  to  Duke."  .  .  .  The  spine 
tingling  at  hearing  "Dear  Ole  Duke" 
after  one  is  "out  on  life's  broad  seas." 

It  is  the  shared  knowledge  of  these 
secret  ways  that  set  Duke  folks  apart. 
It  is  this,  that  unknowing  and  un- 
known, is  Duke  spirit.  ...  It  is  this 
that  evokes  a  loyalty  and  devotion 
that,  so  nurtured,  grows  to  include  the 
cause  of  liberty  and  the  love  of  God 
in  a  barren  age  of  sell-out  and  treason. 

"These  are  the  things,"  an  alumnus 
says,  "that  makes  these  halls  hallowed 
for  me,  that  make  Duke  my  school, 
that  make  it  mv  alma  mater  dear."

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  May,  1951 


Fraternity  Pledges  Adopt  a  New  Role 


The  sublimation  by  Greek-letter  fra- 
ternities of  the  pledge-hazing  instinct,  and 
the  redirection  of  irrepressible  energies 
into  such  projects  as  constructing  a  pub- 
lic playground  in  Durham,  performing 
volunteer  work  in  hospitals  and  painting 
houses  for  needy  families  have  induced 
commentators  to  describe  Duke's  third 
annual  Greek  Week  as  epoch-making,  in 
a  minor  way  at  least.  Judging  from  news- 
paper coverage,  editorial  comment,  the 
reaction  of  city  officials  and  the  evalu- 
ation of  the  University's  own  adminis- 
trators, the  general  opinion  seems  to  be 
that  the  fraternities  are  maturing  in  a 
highly  approved  manner. 

Greek  Week  is  a  planned  program  of 
fraternity  activities  of  a  community  wel- 
fare nature,  in  which  pledges  participate, 
under  the  supervision  of  their  brothers- 
to-be,  as  a  part  of  their  fraternity  initia- 
tion. Initiated  in  1948,  the  program  has 
broadened  in  scope  with  each  succeeding 
year. 

The  National  Interfraternity  Council 
also  has  placed  a  definite  stamp  of  appro- 
bation on  Greek  Week,  having  adopted 
the  program  as  being  expressive  of  the 
highest  fraternity  aspirations.  Dr.  John 
0.  Moseley,  former  president  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Nevada,  reporting  on  Greek 
Week  to  a  recent  convocation  of  the 
National  IFC,  described  it  as  "the  biggest 
step  forward  since  World  War  II."  He 
emphasized  three  features  of  the  Week: 
first,  it  is  a  substitute  for  "the  harmful 
features  characteristic  of  the  pre-initi- 
ation  period  in  many  schools";  second, 
Greek  Week  is  primarily  a  local  program 
and  must  be  set  up  by  and  under  the  spon- 
sorship of  each  college  or  university's 
IFC;  and  third,  its  ultimate  objective 
is  the  discovery  and  development  of  latent 
talents  for  leadership  in  "an  uplifting 
and  forward  looking  movement  of  the 
fraternity  system  characteristic  of  its 
true  aims  and  ideals." 

News  of  the  Duke  program,  centering 
mainly  on  the  labor  of  244  pledges  work- 
ing three  hours  each  on  the  playground 
project  (the  labor  was  worth  about 
$750  at  current  rates,  according  to  the 
Durham  City  Recreation  Department) 
found  space  in  papers  throughout  the 
state.  Editorial  comments  were  of  course 
subjective,  ranging  from  sincerely  lauda- 
tory to  slightly  sarcastic.  A  Greensboro 
Daily  News  editorial  began  by  reciting 
the  marvels  of  the  modern  age  and  fol- 
lowed with  a  cursory  description  of  the 
playground   job   in    a    second    paragraph 


About  250  Duke  fraternity  pledges  bent  their  collective  energy  toward  making 
a  playground  from  a  vacant  lot  in  the  Edgemont  Community  section  during 
annual  Greek  Week  activities.  A  group  of  them  are  shown  here  making  the 
backstop  for  the  baseball  diamond. 


beginning  "But  the  most  astounding  of 
all  is.  .  .  ."  The  piece  was  headed  "Won- 
ders Never  Cease." 

City  Manager  R.  W.  Flack  of  Durham 
seemed  genuinely  delighted,  and  expressed 
the  community's  gratitude  for  the  "mag- 
nificent job  done."  Enlarging  on  this  the 
director  of  the  Department  of  Recreation, 
Mr.  C.  R.  Wood,  in  addition  to  volun- 
teering the  statistics  quoted  above,  ex- 
pressed the  hope  that  such  activities 
would  become  an  annual  feature  of  Greek 
Week.  He  added  that  many  civic  or- 
ganizations had  in  the  past  formulated 
similar  plans  for  rehabilitating  neglected 
city  playgrounds  but  that  never  before 
had  anyone  actually  offered  to  perform 
the  pick  and  rake  part  of  the  job. 

The  University's  Dean  of  Men  is  per- 
haps particularly  qualified  to  evaluate 
Greek  Week  in  terms  of  the  reactions  of 
the  students  themselves.  He  is  too  ex- 
perienced a  man  to  be  misled  by  super- 
ficial considerations.  He  understands 
that  student  projects  of  this  kind  can 
hardly  be  instituted  from  above;  to  be  at 
all  effective  they  must  be  in  the  nature 
of  a  grassroots   movement,   since  student 


participation  is  the  core  of  the  program, 
with  administration  guidance  the  inci- 
dental factor.  Dean  Robert  B.  Cox  has 
both  warm-hearted  approval  and  deep  ad- 
miration for  the  fraternity  organizations 
that  have  made  Greek  Week  a  part  of 
their  theory  and  practice.  In  the  man- 
ner of  a  father  describing  the  coming-of- 
age  of  his  sons  he  remarked,  "Yes,  they're 
doing  all  right.  They're  growing  up." 
Equally  specific  approval  has  eome  from 
the  office  of  the  president.  Dr.  A.  Hollis 
Edens  expressed  his  desire,  in  a  letter  to 
John  0.  Blackburn,  president  of  the 
Interfraternity  Council,  to  compliment 
the  Council  "for  its  wise  planning." 

"It  must  be  satisfying,  indeed,  to  have 
a  part  in  such  an  undertaking,"  Dr. 
Edens  wrote,  "and  I  commend  each  per- 
son participating  in  the  program.  .  .  . 
Congratulations!" 

The  boys  themselves  are  proud  of  the 
new  turn  of  affairs.  "It  goes  to  counter- 
act the  general  impression  that  fraterni- 
ties are  merely  frivolous  associations," 
one  of  them  remarked.  "We  feel  pretty 
good  about  it."  They  are  becoming  men, 
and  are  putting  away  childish  things.

Student  Officers  for  1951-52 


Reports  of  student  organizations  on 
election  of  officers  for  the  coming  year 
indicate  that  all  sections  of  the  country 
are  being  drawn  on  for  undergraduate 
leadership  at  Duke. 

The  Men's  and  Women's  Student  Gov- 
ernment Associations,  the  Y.M.C.A.  and 
Y.W.C.A.,  and  the  Publications  Board 
have  chosen  officers  for  the  1951-52 
academic  year.  Names  of  class  officers 
also  have  been  announced. 

Alan  Raywid,  of  Washington,  D.  C,  has 
been  elected  president  of  the  Men's?'  Stu- 
dent Government  Association.  His  fel- 
low officers-elect  are  Robert  Younts,  High 
Point,  N.  C,  vice-president;  William 
Werber,  Jr.,  College  Park,  Md.,  secretary ; 
and   Robert    Bush,   Lenoir,   N.    C,   treas- 


urer. Excepting  in  the  presidential  race, 
which  Raywid  won  by  a  landslide  margin, 
the  positions  were  so  hotly  contested  that 
the  first  balloting  of  1,485  student  voters 
was  inconclusive  and  runoff  elections  were 
held. 

Class  presidents  chosen  were  Dick 
Crowder,  High  Point,  N.  C,  senior  class; 
Richard  Sommers,  Kingsport,  Tenn., 
junior;  and  Paul  Parker,  Rockville  Cen- 
tre, X.  Y.,  sophomore  class. 

Cheerleaders  elected  were  Henry  Clark, 
Reidsville,  N.  C;  Kenneth  Derrick,  Hart- 
ford, Conn.;  Robert  Trebus,  Irvington, 
N.  J.;  Raeford  Gibbs,  Asheville,  N.  C; 
and  Richard  Farquhar,  Monessen,  Pa. 

Elections  of  the  Publications  Board  re- 
sulted  in   the   naming  of   Ronny   Xelson, 


"Devil's  Den 

The  Student  Lounge  recently  opened 
in  the  basement  of  the  Woman's  College 
Pan-Hellenic  House  has  won  the  com- 
plete approval  of  the  students.  Hand- 
somely panelled  and  decorated  with 
blown-up  photos  of  campus  scenes  and 
student  activities,  the  room  is  furnished 
with  a  soda  fountain  and  a  juke  box. 
Two  of  the  walls  are  lined  with  booths. 
It  is  designed  to  supplement  the  stu- 
dents' recreational   facilities. 

An  adjoining  launderette,  where  stu- 


"  Is  Opened 

dents  may  have  their  clothes  washed 
and  dried,  is  a  convenient  feature  of 
the  new  arrangement. 

In  a  Women's  Student  Government 
Association  contest  to  select  a  name  for 
the  new  dope  shop  the  girls  decided  on 
the  roguish  appellation  ''Devil's  Den." 
Barbara  Wilson,  freshman,  daughter  of 
Tina  Fussell  Wilson,  '21,  and  L.  A.  Wil- 
son, L  '22,  was  awarded  a  prize  for  sub- 
mitting this  name.

Grime,  White  Plains,  N.  Y.,  as  business 
manager  and  editor,  respectively,  of  the 
Archive.  Next  year's  Chronicle  staff  will 
be  headed  by  Denny  Rusinow,  St.  Peters- 
burg, Fla.,  editor;  Mary  Flanders,  North

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  May,  1951 


College  men  in  short  pants  and  golf  caps,  and  coeds  in  full  skirts  and  peasant 
blouses  joined  in  a  colorful  parade  held  during  Joe  College  Week  End.  As 
pictured  here,  some  of  them  added  a  touch  of  old  to  the  newly  established  week 
end  of  fun  as  they  burlesqued  the  life  of  college  students. 

"Joe  College  Week  End"  Is  Revived 

Washington  College)  and  a  track  meet 
(Duke-N.  C.  State).  Duke  teams,  ex- 
hibiting a  splendid  dramatic  sense,  won 
all  three.  Evening  brought  the  Shoe  and 
Slipper  Spring  Formal  with  music  by 
Les  Brown,  '35,  and  his  band  at  the  In- 
door Stadium. 


One  of  the  more  lovable  roles  of  a  lov- 
able screen  comedian  was  the  portrayal 
of  "The  Freshman"  by  Harold  Lloyd. 
The  emotional  extravagances  of  college 
social  life  were  set  off  in  poignant  con- 
trast to  the  rather  serious  business  of 
getting  an  education.  The  same  note  was 
struck  last  month  as  a  gay  serpentine 
procession  of  festooned  cars  wended  east- 
ward from  the  main  Duke  quadrangle, 
bristling  with  arms  and  legs  and  oddly 
costumed  torsos,  on  the  opening  day  of 
Joe  College  Week  End.  The  arms  and 
legs  tumbled  out  and  spread  over  East 
Campus,  patterned  themselves  into  line- 
ups for  absurd  field  day  events,  tossed 
strange  kites  to  the  April  breeze,  paraded 
past  the  women's  dormitories  and  formed 
multitudinous  judgments  of  the  decorative 
displays  fluttering  from  windows  and 
balconies  or  set  up  on  lawns.  Textbooks 
were  safely  stowed  away  between  classes; 
no  serious  thought  intruded.  For  three 
days  students  gave  themselves  whole- 
heartedly to  the  lampooning  of  the  col- 
lege fads  and  fashions  whose  easy  yoke 
they  bear. 

The  annual  celebration,  revived  from 
pre-war  days,  had  begun  Thursday  eve- 
ning with  the  opening  performance  of 
the  Hoof  V  Horn  Club  musical  comedy 
"Belles  and  Ballots."  The  costume  parade 
on  Friday  was  preceded  by  a  picnic  lunch 
and  followed  by  a  picnic  supper  and  an- 
other "Belles  and  Ballots"  performance. 
An  informal  dance  in  the  Indoor  Stadium 
ended  the  day. 

The  festivities  on  Saturday,  the  third 
day,  began  with  a  picnic  lunch  and  con- 
cert on  West  Campus.  Afternoon  hours 
were  whiled  away  with  baseball  and 
lacrosse    games    (Duke-C.    X.    C,    Duke- 


On  Sunday  morning  the  Chapel  serv- 
ices became  a  part  of  Joe  College  Week 
End,  with  gaiety  temporarily  suspended. 
Fraternities  held  picnic  lunches  under  a 
now  threatening  sky,  but  the  week  end's 
purpose  had  been  accomplished,  and  a 
mere  spring  shower  could  not  change  that. 

Students  Donate  Blood 
To  Aid  Korean  Struggle 

An  emergency  appeal  for  whole  blood 
to  be  flown  to  Korea  met  a  quick  response 
on  the  Duke  campus  when  545  students 
and  administration  officials  contributed 
blood  to  the  Durham  Chapter  of  the 
American  Red  Cross.  The  goal  had  been 
only  400  pints. 

A  student  committee,  headed  by  James 
R.  Solomon,  senior  from  Fort  Wayne, 
Ind.,  chairman,  moved  quickly  to  line  up 
pledges.  All  students  were  contacted, 
and  letters  were  sent  to  the  homes  of 
students  under  21  years  of  age  who 
needed  parental  permission  to  donate. 

The  blood  was  collected  in  the  West 
Campus  Union  and  was  flown  the  same 
day  to  Korea,  where  the  need  for  whole 
blood  has  been  reported  dangerously 
acute. 


Duke's  Men's  Glee  Club  on  TV 


The  Duke  University  Men's  Glee  Club 
appeared  on  a  television  show  for  the 
first  time  with  the  Perry  Como  Chester- 
field Hour  on  WCBS-TV  from  New  York 
City  on  April  2.  A  photograph,  taken 
just  before  the  TV  show  began,  is  shown 
above. 

The  group  also  sang  on  an  NBC  broad- 
cast from  New  York  and  gave  a  concert 
at  the  Savoy  Plaza  Hotel. 

The  Glee  Club  recently  completed  a 
very   successful   season    after   a    northern 


and  a  southern  tour  which  took  them  to 
15  cities.  They  also  made  several  special 
appearances  in  North  Carolina.  It  was 
the  24th  Glee  Club  season  for  J.  Foster 
(Bishop)    Barnes,  director. 

Two  coeds  appeared  on  the  tour  for  the 
first  time  as  guest  soloists.  Mrs.  Barnes 
accompanied  the  girls  on  the  tour.  Forty- 
two  singers  and  two  accompanists  went 
on  the  1951  tour.  They  were  chosen  from 
the  much  larger  group  that  makes  up  the 
regular  Men's  Glee  Club.

alumnae  and  friends  of  Duke  that  they 
select  to  help  them  in  their  campaign 
areas,  that  the  University  has  been  able 
to  make  such  a  vigorous  effort  toward 
strengthening  its  resources  and  intensi- 
fying its  programs.  Just  what  has  been 
accomplished  during  the  past  year  through 
the  Development  Campaign  will  be  an- 
nounced in  detail  at  Commencement  and 
will  be  reviewed  in  the  June  Register.

Devils'  New  T  Is  Attracting  Notice

Duke  Athletic  Director  Eddie  Cameron 
has  announced  that  orders  are  now  being- 
accepted  for  season  tickets  to  Duke's  four 
home  games  next  fall  with  N.  C.  State, 
October  13;  Virginia,  October  27,  Home- 
coming; Wake  Forest,  November  10,  and 
North  Carolina,  November  24. 

The  season  books  are  priced  at  $14.00 
each,  and  ten  cents  should  be  added  to 
the  cost  of  the  entire  order  for  insured 
mailing.  Orders  should  be  addressed  to 
the  Business  Manager,  Duke  Athletic 
Association,  Duke  Station,  Durham,  N.  C. 
They  will  be  filled  as  soon  as  tickets  go 
on  sale  this  summer.  Alumni  are  advised 
to  order  now  to  be  sure  of  good  seats  for 
the  games. 

Seven  weeks  of  spring  football  practice 
closed  recently  with  the  first  annual  Blue- 
White  game  between  the  varsity  and  a 
group  of  former  Blue  Devils  headed  by 
Bill  Cox,  last  year's  captain  and  the 
greatest  passer  in  Duke  history.  The 
"old  timers"  made  a  good  game  of  it  for 
some  4,000  fans  before  bowing  to  the 
varsity  21-7. 

Charlie  Smith  and  Gerald  Mozmgo,  a 
couple  of  subs  from  lasf  year,  along  with 
sophomore  Jack  Kistler  and  1950  subs 
Byrd  Looper  and  Lloyd  Caudle  -provided 
most  of  the  offensive  fireworks  for  the 
varsity.  Charlie  Smith  got  away  on  the 
longest  run  of  the  day,  a  38-yard  jaunt 
to  the  varsity's  third  touchdown.   g 

Here  is  a  general  view  of  the  prospects 
for  next  fall  as  carried  in  a  spring  foot- 
ball booklet  prepared  by  the  Office  of 
Athletic  Information  of  the  Department 
of  Athletics : 

"Duke  University  will  switch  from  the 
age-old  single  wing  to  the  Split-T  under 
new  coach  William  D.  (Bill)  Murray  this 
fall,  and  Murray  is  the  first  one  to  advise 
over-enthusiastic  Blue  Devil  followers  to 
expect  no  miracles. 

"  'You  simply  cannot  change  systems 
in  a  matter  of  months  and  expect  the 
new  one  to  work  without  any  flaws,' 
Coach  Murray  said.  'We  must  have  time 
to  develop  it.  We  have  had  only  seven 
weeks  and  nmch-mueh-work  remains  to 
be  done.  I  am  pleased  with  the  spirit  of 
the  squad.' 

"The  Blue  Devils  face  a  tough  10-ganie 
schedule  with  the  first  three  games — 
South  Carolina,  Pittsburgh  and  Ten- 
nessee^— all  awav  from  home. 


"Coach  Murray,  the  new  mentor, 
worked  this  spring  on  two  main  things: 

1.  Familiarizing     himself     "with     the 

squad. 

2.  Familiarizing  the  squad  with  the 

Split-T. 

"Practically  all  of  the  time  was  spent 
on  offense  with  some  work  being  done  on 
defense  the  last  two  weeks  of  spring 
maneuvers.  Early  scrimmage  sessions 
were  highly  satisfactory  to  Coach  Mur- 
ray as  the  boys  apparently  took  to  the 
Split-T  with  great  speed. 

"Things  slowed  down  a  bit  later  on, 
however,  and  Coach  Murray  was  not  com- 


pletely satisfied  with  the  way  the  team 
looked  in  the  final  scrimmage  session  of 
the  spring  when  they  had  a  struggle 
beating  a  group  of  seniors  from  last 
year's  squad,  21-7.  The  seniors  gained 
much  ground  with  their  single  wing  at- 
tack which  featured  the  passing  of  Billy 
Cox,  star  of  last  year's  outfit. 

"In  a  nutshell,  Duke  is  expected  to 
win  some  this  fall,  and  may  lose  some. 
The  backs,  ends  and  centers  appear  to 
be  well-manned  on  offense,  but  much 
work  remains  to  be  done  to  replace  the 
men  who  played  at  the  guards  and  tackles 
last  year  and  on  the  entire  defensive  set 
up." 


Spring  Teams  Hold  Victory  Paces 


It  has  been  a  cheerful  spring  for  fol- 
lowers of  Blue  Devil  teams.  Without  ex- 
ception, spring  athletic  aggregations  have 
done  exceedingly  well  in  their  respective 
endeavors. 

Most  outstanding  have  been  the  lacrosse 
and  golf  crews,  each  of  which  has  en- 
dured but  a  single  defeat  this  season,  and 
that  only  recently. 

For  a  while  the  lacrosse  team  could  con- 
sider itself  as  ranking  either  No.  1  or 
No.  2  in  the  nation.  A  recent  9  to  7 
victory  over  Johns  Hopkins,  perennial  na- 
tional champs,  climaxed  a  victory  skein 
of  six  games,  and  placed  the  Devils  on 
the  summit  of  the  national  standings.  The 
win-streak,  however,  was  finally  broken 
by  the  University  of  Virginia  who  won 
by  a  score  of  11  to  10. 

Top  performers  for  the  stickmen  of 
Coach  Jack  Persons  have  been  Rod  Boyce, 
Brook  Cottman,  Fred  Eisenbrandt,  and 
goalie  Don  Bafford. 

In  golf,  Duke  squeezed  out  its  14th 
straight  victory  over  U.N.C.'s  Tarheels, 
and  in  doing  so  handed  the  neighboring 
linksmen  their  first  defeat  in  14  matches 
this  year.  In  this  particular  match,  staged 
at  Hope  Valley,  the  Tarheel's  captain, 
Frank  Brooks,  fired  a  phenomenal  63  for 
the  eighteen  holes  to  shatter  the  course 
record — but  not  enough  to  vanquish  the 
Blue  Devils. 

The  Tarheels  came  back  in  a  return 
match,  however,  to  hand  the  linksmen 
their  lone   defeat  of  the  season.     After- 


wards, the  Devils  went  on  to  take  the 
Southern  Conference  Tournament. 

Leading  golfers  are  co-captains  Mike 
Souchak  and  Louis  McLennan  and  Henry 
Clark. 

The  tennis  team  has  pounded  out  13 
victories  in  15  matches,  losing  only  to 
North  Carolina  and  Rollins. 

Tennis  captain  is  John  Ross  and  top 
stars  are  basketballer  Kes  Deimling,  Hal 
Lipton,  Jack  Warmath,  John  Tapley,  and 
Norm  Schellenger. 

Duke's  cindermen  have  not  lagged  be- 
hind their  colleagues  on  other  fields.  Right 
now  they  can  boast  a  record  of  four  wins 
against  two  losses — to  Navy  and  U.  N.  C. 
— and  one  tie — Princeton. 

After  defeating  Carolina  in  an  early 
match,  they  lost  by  a  close  61-70  score 
in  a  return  engagement  when  star  Henry 
Poss  couldn't  participate  due  to  a  leg 
injury. 

Top  performers  for  Duke's  outstand- 
ing track  aggregation  thus  far  have  been 
runners  Henry  Poss,  Tommy  Reeves, 
Captain  John  "Buddy"  Grisso,  John 
Tate,  Billy  Anderson,  Dick  Sykes,  Jim 
Chamberlain  and  Art  Loub,  plus  field 
men  James  "Tank"  Lawrence,  John  Con- 
ner, Carl  James  and  Frank  Nichols. 

Baseball 

Coach  Jack  Coombs  began  the  current 
baseball  season  smiling  broadly,  as  his 
sophomore-studded  nine  slammed  out 
early    victories    over    strong    opponents, 


I  Page  124] 


DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  May,  1951 


losing  but  two  of  the  first  10  games. 
Both  of  these  losses  were  due  to  bobbles 
brought  about  by  inexperience  in  key 
positions.  This  same  trouble  plagued 
the  Big  Blue  during  the  mid-season  cam- 
paigns and,  currently,  the  team  holds 
second  place  in  the  Southern  Division  of 
the  conference  standings  with  a  record,  for 
the  season,  of  14  wins  and  eight  losses  in 
and  out  of  conference  play. 

With  an  infield  consisting  of  Bill  Wer- 
ber,  sophomore  son  of  a  former  Duke  and 
major  league  great,  on  first ;  Bill  Ber- 
geron, senior  from  Greenwich,  Conn.,  on 
second;  Dick  Groat,  junior  basketball 
All- America  at  short;  and  Tom  Powers, 
last  fall's  gridiron  wingback,  at  third,  the 
Devils  can  boast  of  one  of  the  best  in- 
fields in  collegiate  baseball.  The  pitching 
staff,  headed  by  Joe  Lewis,  Frank  Graham 
and  Bob  Davis  is  strong  throughout,  while 


an  outfield  of  Dick  Johnson,  John  Gib- 
bons, and  John  Carroll  adds  to  the  team's 
potent  hitting  strength. 

Almost  without  exception,  the  early 
losses  sustained  by  the  Coombsmen  this 
season  resulted  from  a  sporadic  defense 
which  lagged  at  crucial  moments  in  major 
games.  Such  procedures  have  caused 
Coach  Jack,  a  thorough-going  perfection- 
ist, to  tear  at  his  hair  in  agony.  More 
recently  it  has  been  weak  pitching  that 
has  lost  ball  games.  The  Coach,  how- 
ever, can  consider  next  season's  pros- 
pects with  grinning  optimism,  because 
his  youthful  performers  by  then  will 
have  been  seasoned  in  competitions,  and, 
barring  military  demands  upon  athletic 
manpower,  will  return  for  new  glory. 

Meanwhile,  the  men  of  the  diamond 
have  not  done  bad  at  all  this  year — not 
bad  at  all. 


Wake  Forest  Chooses 
Tom  Rogers  to  Coach 

Thomas  Tinsley  Rogers,  '35,  was  "one 
of  the  best  ends  ever  to  play  at  Duke 
University,"  according  to  the  Wake  For- 
est College  Alumni  News.  It  is  no  won- 
der that  they  admit  this  fact,  for  Tom 
Rogers  has  succeeded  fiery  D.  C.  "Pea- 
head"  Walker  as  head  football  coach  at 
Wake  Forest. 

He  has  been  line  coach  at  the  Baptist 

school  for  the  greater  part  of  the  time 

since  he  was  a  student  at  Duke,  and  took 

over    the    top    coaching   post   when    Mr.

Development  Campaign 

Honor  Roll  of  Donors  on 

Press;  2,000  Names 

To  Be  Listed 

The  first  compilation  of  the  Honor 
Roll  of  donors  to  the  Duke  Develop- 
ment Campaign  is  now  on  the  press. 
It  will  include  over  2,000  names  of 
alumni,  trustees,  Durham  City  sub- 
scribers and  friends  of  the  University 
whose  gifts  had  been  received  and 
recorded  up  to  May  10th. 

On  that  date,  a  total  of  $1,220,127.57 
had  been  subscribed  in  cash  and  signed 
pledges  toward  the  $3,000,000  needed 
as  a  minimum  to  match  $3,000,000 
promised  by  the  Rockefeller-sponsored 
General  Education  Board  and  an 
anonymous  donor.  This  $1,220,127.57, 
with  "the  $2,087,646.25  subscribed  dur- 
ing 1949-50  (and  not  available  for 
matching)  and  the  $3,000,000  "prom- 
ised," makes  a  grand  total  of  $6,307,- 
773.82  in  sight  toward  the  $8,650,000 
Development  Campaign  goal. 

The  Honor  Roll,  printed  as  an  ad- 
vance proof,  will  not  include  the  names 
of  the  565  members  of  the  faculty  and 
administrative  staff  nor  the  500  stu- 
dents who  had  made  gifts  up  to  May 
10.  The  Student  Campaign  was 
launched  on  May  2.  In  the  first  eight 
days,  over  one-tenth  of  the  student  body 
had  contributed.  The  campaign  was 
continuing  as  this  issue  went  to  press. 

A  progress  report  on  the  over-all 
campaign  will  be  made  to  the  Duke 
National  Council  on  Saturday  after- 
noon, June  2,  by  B.  F.  Few,  '15,  Na- 
tional Chairman  and  University  Trus- 
tee. An  average  of  $35,000  a  week 
was  sent  in  by  local  committees  during 
April.  This  increased  to  $45,000  in 
the  first  ten  days  of  May  as  the  end  of 
the  intensive  campaign  period  on  June 
30  approached. 

The  Honor  Roll,  showing  the  names 
of  donors  by  regions,  will  be  mailed 
out  over  Commencement  week  end  to 
all  alumni  except  those  in  a  few  areas 
where  the  campaign  is  not  yet  organ- 
ized. The  flyer  will  include  a  listing, 
by  class  groups  and  graduate  schools, 
of  average  gifts  made  by  alumni  up 
to  May  1st.  This  shows  proportionate 
giving — and  generous  giving,  too — and 
demonstrates  that  alumni  are  giving 
substantially  to  the  Development  drive. 
These  average  gifts  are  shown  (in  the 
adjoining  column).

DR.  RAYFORD  KENNEDY  ADAMS  has 
been  a  neuropsychiatrist  ever  since  he  fin- 
ished his  internship  in  1915.  Certified  in 
both  psychiatry  and  neurology  by  the  Ameri- 
can Board  of  Psychiatry  and  Neurology,  he 
practiced  in  New  Jersey  and  also  served  as 
consulting  psychiatrist  and  neurologist  to 
the  New  York  Post  Graduate  Medical  School 
until  his  retirement  in  1946  when  he  re- 
turned to  North  Carolina.  Soon  tiring  of 
doing  nothing  Dr.  Adams  was  glad  to 
accept  the  position  of  assistant  superintend- 
ent of  the  N.  C.  State  Hospital  at  Morgan- 
ton  which  institution  was  badly  in  need  of 
psychiatrists.  Dr.  Adams  is  the  grand- 
father of  young  Tommy  Sales  whose  picture 
is  on  the  Sons  and  Daughters  Page  this

Rogers 

(Continued  from  Page  125) 
Walker  left  the  Deacons  for  an  assistant 
coaching  job  at  Yale  University. 

A  native  of  Hinton,  W.  Va.,  Tom  Rog- 
ers began  with  the  Duke  varsity  the  same 
year  Wallace  Wade  started  his  coaching 
career  wtih  the  Blue  Devils  in  1931.  He 
made  All-Southern  and  received  numerous 
other  All-State  honors.  In  his  final  year, 
he  was  named  on  several  All-American 
squads  including  that  of  Grantland  Rice. 
While  at  Duke  he  was  president  of  ODK, 
national    honorary    leadership    fraternity. 

Tom  Rogers  continued  at  Duke  as  line 
coach  for  freshman  teams  and  physical 
education  instructor  until  1938,  when  he 
joined  the  Wake  Forest  coaching  staff. 
In  1940  he  took  a  post  at  Clemson  Col- 
lege as  line  coach  and  varsity  baseball 
coach,  under  the  direction  of  Frank 
Howard. 

May  27,  1943,  brought  a  commission  as 
lieutenant  in  the  United  States  Navy  for 
Tom  Rogers.  He  was  attached  to  the 
Navy  athletic  program  and  was  first  sent 
to  Chapel  Hill  where  he  became  an  in- 
structor with  the  11th  V-5  indoctrination 
course  in  the  Navy  Pre-Flight  School  at 
the  University  of  North  Carolina.  He 
also  coached  the  Pre-Flight  Cloudbusters 
football  squad  while  there.  Later  he  was 
transferred  to  the  Pacific  Coast  where  he 
coached  the  Arlington,  Wash.,  Navy  team. 

After  being  discharged  from  the  Navy 
in  1945,  the  new  Deacon  head  football 
mentor  returned  to  his  Clemson  post.  It 
was  not  long  before  he  had  coaching  offers 
from  several  other  schools.  He  chose  to 
return  to  Wake  Forest,  where  he  has  re- 
mained ever  since.  Coaches  Howard  and 
Walker  had  nothing  but  complimentary 
words  for  him  when  he  was  considered 
for  the  top  Deacon  position. 

Although  he  maintains,  he  is  no  golfer, 
Tom  Rogers  was  also  given  the  job  of 
coaching  the  Wake  golf  team  in  1946.  He 
plays  consistently  in  the  SO's  and  90's, 
but  has  won  a  few  prizes  for  himself. 
As  an  all-round  athlete,  and  as  a  coach, 
Tom  Rogers  is  sure  to  come  out  on  top. 

He  was  married  to  the  former  Frances 
Moore  of  Durham  on  July  29,  1938. 
They  have  two  sons,  Tom,  Jr.,  10,  and 
Robert  Kent,  who  will  soon  be  eight.

Sculptor  of  Statues  on 
Duke  Campus  Dies 

Charles  Keck,  noted  sculptor  who 
executed  the  sarcophagi  of  James  B., 
Benjamin  N,  and  Washington  Duke  in  the 
University  Chapel  and  the  statue  of  James 
B.  Duke  which  stands  in  the  quadrangle 
in  front  of  the  Chapel,  died  April  23  at 
his  home,  Gypsy  Trail  Camp,  Carmel, 
N.  Y.,  at  the  age  of  76. 

A  native  of  New  York  City,  Mr.  Keck 
was  famous  for  the  heroic  monuments  he 
created  for  municipalities,  the  Federal 
Government,  and  civic  groups.  His  works 
may  be  found  in  virtually  every  state  in 
the  Union  and  several  foreign  countries. 

Mr.  Keck  designed  some  of  North 
Carolina's  best  known  monuments,  includ- 
ing the  monument  to  the  three  Presidents 
the  State  gave  to  the  nation,  located  on 
Capitol  Square  in  Raleigh;  and  the 
Charles  B.  Ayeock  monument  in  the 
United  States  Hall  of  Fame  in  Washing- 
ton, D.  C. 

One  of  his  best  known  works  is  the 
statue  of  Francis  P.  Duffy,  famous  fight- 
ing chaplain  of  New  York's  "Fighting 
69th"  during  the  first  World  War,  which 
stands  in  Times  Square,  New  York  City. 

At  the  time  of  his  death,  figures  which 
Mr.  Keck  had  designed  were  being  carved 
on  the  World  War  II  Memorial  on  the 
mall  leading  to  Borough  Hall  in  Brook- 
lyn. He  had  recently  finished  an  out- 
standing statue  of  Abraham  Lincoln  as  a 
boy. 

Mr.  Keck  first  worked  with  the  sculptor 
Philip  Martini.  After  studying  at  the 
National  Academy  of  Design,  the  Art  Stu- 
dents League,  and  the  American  Academy 
in  Rome,  he  became  assistant  to  the 
world  renowned  sculptor  Augustus  St. 
Gaudens  in  1893.  His  style,  thereafter, 
followed  that  of  St.  Gaudens. 

Mr.  Keck  was  a  former  president  of 
the  National  Sculptors  Society,  of  the 
Century  Association,  the  Architectural 
League  and  the  Numismatic  Society. 

Surviving  are  the  widow,  and  his  sons, 
James  Charles.  Jr.,  '49,  now  a  second 
year  medical  student  at  Duke,  and  John 
William.

No,  but  she  is

San  Francisco,  Calif. 

Who  gave  you  the  word  on  my  doings?  I'm  sorry  I  haven't  kept  in 
touch.  It  certainly  has  not  been  for  lack  of  things  to  write  about  for 
I've  been  most  fortunate  in  leading  a  very  busy  and  exciting  life  for 
the  last  two  years. 

I  spent  a  year  and  a  half  in  that  most  wonderful  city  of  Seattle — 
flying  as  a  stewardess  for  Pan  American  to  Alaska  and  the  Yukon  Ter- 
ritory— Annette  Island,  Juneau,  Whitehorse,  Fairbanks  and  Nome.  I 
got  to  know  the  people  and  the  territory  pretty  well  by  flying  feeder 
lines  to  such  out  posts  as  Kotazabue — one  of  the  last  truly  Eskimo 
villages  on  the  Bering  Sea,  going  goose  hunting  and  skiing  in  the  hills 
behind  Fairbanks;  climbing  the  mountains,  flying  over  the  ice  caps  and 
down  into  remote  lakes  around  Juneau  to  go  trout  fishing,  and  even 
catching  large  salmon  by  hand  as  they  crowded  up  the  streams  on 
Annette  Island.  The  best  time  of  all  though  was  the  trip  another 
stewardess  and  I  made  in  a  small  boat  with  a  12-horsepower  outboard 
motor  down  the  Yukon  River  from  Whitehorse,  Y.  T.  to  Circle,  Alaska. 
The  737  miles  took  us  6V2  days — counting  time  out  to  visit  with  all  the 
old  timers  and  natives  along  the  way.  Spent  one  afternoon  in  Dawson 
and  another  in  Eagle.  The  rapids  were  very  tame,  and  the  wild  life, 
including  the  mosquitoes  (thank  goodness),  very  scarce — only  saw  one 
grizzly  and  chased  one  moose  that  was  swimming  the  river  'round  in 
circles.  We  would  have  loved  spending  3  weeks  or  more  on  the  trip 
but  Pan  American  had  to  have  us  back. 

In  Seattle  I  had  the  wonderful  experience  of  living  with  seven  other 
gals  in  a  four-bedroom  house  right  on  Lake  Washington  where  we  had 
our  own  dock  for  swimming  and  sunning.  Four  of  us  bought  a  sail 
boat  from  Hunter  Simpson,  a  boy  who  worked  for  IBM  in  Seattle  and 
of  whom  you'll  hear  more  later.  Our  summer  life  consisted  of  lake-side 
activities  plus  trips  down  the  Hood  Canal,  hiking  around  Mt.  Rainer, 
camping  in  the  Olympic  forest  and  jaunts  to  Vancouver  and  Victoria. 
In  winter  we  were  less  diversified,  just  skiing,  skiing  and  more  skiing.

THIS  MONTH'S  COVER 

Early  each  June,  on  a  Sunday  morning- — usually  a  hot  Sun- 
day morning — Duke  University's  seniors  file  into  Duke  Chapel 
for  their  final  religious  service  as  students.  The  seniors  are 
proud  and  happy,  because  they  have  accomplished  the  objective 
of  their  college  careers  and  are  about  to  receive  the  University's 
official  salute.  But  they  are  no  prouder  than  parents — and 
sometimes  brothers  and  sisters — who  come  to  see  them  graduate 
and  who  share  this  last  worship  service  with  them.  The  photog- 
rapher caught  the  crowd  just  at  the  conclusion  of  the  morning 
program.

wasn't  lost. 


Postponed 


The  last  thing  Ed  Nichols  had  ex- 
pected to  get  mixed  up  in  was  a 
square  dance.  But  here  he  was  swinging 
lovely  young  Patsy  Stevenson.  "This  is 
fun,"  Ed  puffed. 

"You're  the  best  oni  on  the  floor,  Mr. 
Nichols,"  she  said,  and  then  she  spun  off 
and  Ed  found  himself  swinging  Martha 
Williams.  "It's  a  great  party,  Martha." 

"Thank  you,  Ed.  I  guess  it  is.  I'm 
almost  having  a  good  time  myself." 

"It's  better  if  you  do,  Martha.  It'll 
make  it  a  little  easier,  maybe."  He  glanced 
at  Martha's  son,  Dick,  who  was  now  danc- 
ing with  Patsy — and  looking  as  if  he  were 
having  the  best  time  of  all.  Good  boy,  Ed 
thought.  Here  he  was  about  to  go  into 
service  and  .  .  .  well,  he  was  a  swell  kid. 


A  few  minutes  later  Ed  was  standing  on 
the  sidelines  sipping  a  cool  drink  and 
resting. 

"Having  a  good  time,  Mr.  Nichols?" 
somebody  said.  It  was  Dick  Williams. 

"Yes,  I  am,  Dick."  He  paused  a  sec- 
ond. "I  had  hoped  that  I'd  be  seeing  you 
off  to  college  at  about  this  time  but  .  .  ." 

"Uncle  Sam  comes  first,  Mr.  Nichols. 
But  I'll  be  back  before  you  know  it  .  .  . 
and  heading  for  college  as  Dad  and  you 
planned." 

"I  hope  you  will,  son.  Soon!"  Ed  re- 
membered how  Dick's  dad  had  talked 
about  the  boy's  future  and  how  he,  as  the 
New  York  Lite  agent,  had  helped  Dick's 
dad  give  those  plans  definite  form.  When 
Dick  was  ten,  his  father  had  died,  leaving 


the  boy  proud  memories  and  enough  life 
insurance  to  see  him  and  his  mother 
through  the  years  ahead. 

"I  want  you  to  know,  Mr.  Nichols,  that 
this  whole  thing  is  a  lot  easier  for  me, 
knowing  that  Mom  will  have  everything 
she  needs  while  I'm  away." 

"Mrs.  Nichols  and  I  will  look  in  on  her 
often,  Dick." 

"Thanks,"  the  boy  said  simply.  "And 
before  you  know  it,  we'll  throw  another 
party — after  I'm  back  from  service  and 
on  my  way  to  college."  Dick  shook  hands. 
"Now,  if  you'll  excuse  me,  I  want  to  find 
Patsy  Stevenson.  I  have  something  im- 
portant to  say  to  her  .  .  ." 

Ed  watched  the  boy  and  girl  going  out 
the  side  door.  "Great  kid,"  he  said  to 
himself.  "This  country's  got  a  great  future 
as  long  as  it  has  kids  like  that."

DUKE  UNIVERSITY  ALUMNI  REGISTER 


Volume  XXXVII 


June,  1951 


Number  6 


Another  Duke  Service 

Many  Dnke  alumni  will  remember  a  member  of  the 
faculty  by  the  name  of  Archibald  C.  Jordan.  They  will 
remember  him  as  being  a  person  who  believed  that  the 
students  who  attended  Duke  University  should  know  what 
to  do  with  the  English  language  when  they  had  occasion 
to  use  it.  As  a  Duke  alumnus  and  a  member  of  the  Eng- 
lish Department,  several  years  ago  Professor  Jordan,  in 
cooperation  with  the  North  Carolina  English  Teachers 
Association,  decided  that  the  time  had  come  for  someone 
to  do  something  about  the  kind  of  training  the  young 
people  were  getting  in  English  grammar.  He  asked  the 
English  teachers  in  the  colleges  and  universities,  as  well 
as  in  the  high  schools  of  North  Carolina,  to  take  aggressive 
action  to  improve  the  spelling,  punctuation,  and  rhetoric 
of  the  students  in  their  various  educational  systems.  One 
indication  of  how  fruitful  this  movement  has  been  is  the 
editorial  in  the  Charlotte  Observer  on  Monday,  June  11, 
entitled  " Students  Do  Write. "    It  follows:   ' 

"The  fellows  on  the  copy  desk  of  a  newspaper,  some 
of  whom  have  grown  gray  in  the  unheralded  work  of  cor- 
recting the  spelling,  punctuation,  and  rhetoric  of  the 
younger  news  writers,  may  be  pardoned  if  they  sometimes 
express  cynicism  about  the  teaching  of  English  in  high 
schools  and  colleges. 

' '  Their  common  complaint  is,  '  These  kids  can 't  even 
spell.  Why  I  couldn't  have  passed  out  of  the  fourth  grade 
f—  etc.  etc' 

"But  the  current  Student  Issue  of  The  North  Carolina 
English  Teacher,  containing  thirty-one  examples  of  com- 
positions written  in  the  high  school  English  classes  of 
North  Carolina,  proves  that  some  of  these  students — at 
least  thirty-one  of  them — can  really  write.  Moreover,  it 
gives  us  a  little  glow  of  pride  to  notice  that  six  of  the 
thirty-one  compositions  chosen  for  inclusion  in  the  pam- 
phlet were  written  by  students  of  Charlotte  High  School 
— the  largest  number  for  any  one  school. 

"The  compositions  include  short  stories,  descriptive 
sketches,  simple  narratives,  and  poetry.  All  of  them  are 
excellent,  and  some  of  the  poetry  is  of  a  distinctly  high 
caliber.  We  are  not  going  to  risk  the  usual  brickbats  that 
come  the  way  of  the  critic  by  singling  out  any  of  the  com- 
positions for  special  praise,  but  all  of  them  show  what 
good  teaching  can  do  with  good  talent. 

"Some  47  other  compositions,  not  included  in  the 
pamphlet,  were  given  honorable  mention,  and  since  they 
represent  high  schools  all  the  way  from  Wilmington  to 
Asheville — and  not  all  of  them  in  the  big  towns,  by  any 
means — it  must  be  conceded  that  the  teaching  of  English 
is  not  half  as  bad  as  it  is  sometimes  represented  to  be." 

The  author  of  the  editorial,  as  you  will  note,  wound  up 


by  saying  that  "the  teaching  of  English  is  not  half  as 
bad  as  it  is  sometimes  represented  to  be. ' '  We  like  to 
think  that  Duke  University,  through  one  of  its  professors 
in  service  to  education,  has  made  it  possible  for  the  author 
to  conclude  his  editorial  in  this  manner,  and  that  perhaps 
this  contribution  of  Duke  University  has  had  some  in- 
fluence in  improving  the  teaching  of  English.  Duke  Uni- 
versity continues  to  serve. 


Just  Rambling 

The  addition  this  year  to  the  Commencement  Program 
of  the  Hoof  'n'  Horn  presentation  on  Saturday  night  was 
a  success  by  any  measurement.  The  students  worked 
overtime  on  polishing  up  the  production  and  adding  new 
features,  until  it  would  have  been  a  credit  to  Broadway. 
The  alumni  and  the  University  are  grateful  to  them  for 
their  enthusiastic  cooperation  in  making  possible  this  de- 
lightful addition  to  the  Commencement  Week  End.  Ap- 
proximately 1,000  alumni,  parents,  students,  and  others 
were  on  hand  to  express  their  approval.  .  .  .  The  class 
of  '26,  the  Silver  Anniversary  class,  came  early  and  stayed 
late.  Its  round  of  festivities  was  one  of  the  most  complete  of 
any  25th  year  class.  In  fact,  those  present  had  such  a  good 
time  that  they  are  looking  forward  to  the  next  reunion  of 
the  class  with  renewed  enthusiasm.  .  .  .  More  alumni  and 
parents  stayed  on  the  campus  than  ever  before;  and,  in 
spite  of  the  fact  that  the  dormitories  are  not  especially 
prepared  to  take  care  of  groups  of  this  kind,  the  general 
opinion  was  that  the  parking  facilities,  the  good  fellow- 
ship, the  talkfest,  and  the  other  things  that  make  up  a 
well-rounded  visit  to  the  campus  outweighed  any  minor 
inconveniences  of  the  dormitories.  .  .  .  The  announcement 
by  President  Edens  that  the  alumni  and  friends  of  the 
University  had  raised  seven  and  a  half  million  dollars 
toward  a  goal  of  $8,650,000  was  most  encouraging.  The 
National  Council  unanimously  recommended  that  the 
Development  Campaign  be  continued  through  December 
31  in  order  to  raise  the  million  dollars  needed  to  reach 
our  goal.  There  seemed  to  be  a  general  feeling  the  goal 
of  a  million  dollars  would  not  only  be  reached  but  that 
it  would  be  surpassed.  .  .  .  The  hundreds  of  workers 
among  alumni  and  friends  of  the  University  have  not 
slackened  one  bit  in  their  efforts  to  make  this  program  an 
outstanding  one  in  the  history  of  the  University.  Not  only 
are  they  anxious  to  reach  the  goal  in  regard  to  the  amount 
of  money,  but  they  hope  that  every  former  student  and 
friend  of  the  University  will  have  his  name  on  the  final 
honor  roll.

Year  Ends  on  Triumphant  Note 

Development  Campaign  Total  of  S7, 500, 000  Is  Announced 


A  temperate  spring  gave  way  to  sum- 
mer -with  unweleonied  enthusiasm  during 
Commencement  week  end.  Temperatures 
hovered  between  95  and  100  degrees  in 
the  coolest  shade.  But  the  sudden  inva- 
sion of  an  equatorial  sun  failed  miserably 
if  its  intent  was  to  parch  the  spirit  of 
over  1,200  graduating  students,  their 
parents,  a  thousand  celebrating  alumni, 
and  hosts  of  other  visitors  to  the  campus. 

This  1951  Commencement  Week  End 
will  be  remembered  as  one  of  Duke's 
brightest.  Those  former  students  who 
returned  for  class  reunions  and  other 
alumni  events  made  the  Gothic  halls  of 
West  Campus  ring  with  the  good  will 
and  good  cheer  of  fellowship  and  loyalty. 
While  falling  slightly  short  of  being  the 
largest  alumni  turnout,  this  year's  crowd 
was,  without   doubt,  one  of  the  liveliest. 

There  was  cause  for  jubilation.  Over 
and  above  the  fun  of  meeting  old  class- 
mates and  girl  friends,  of  dinners  and 
picnics,  there  was  a  sense  of  serious  ac- 
complishment that  lent  the  1951  Com- 
mencement observances  an  air  of  tri- 
umph. 

The  Big  Announcement 

President  Edens.  speaking  before  the 
graduating  class  in  the  Indoor  Stadium 
on  Monday  morning,  made  public  an  an- 
nouncement that  had  been  made  privately 
twice  before :  first  before  the  National 
Council   Saturday  afternoon,  and  second 


before  the  General  Alumni  Association 
Saturday  evening. 

Monday  the  public  was  allowed  to  hear 
the  news  that  alumni  had  heard  two  days 
earlier : 

Through  the  Duke  University  Develop- 
ment Campaign,  Duke's  alumni  and 
friends  had  raised  $7,500,000  for  "a 
greater  Duke,"  and  the  immediate  goal 
of  the  campaign  was  but  one  million 
dollars  away! 

Furthermore,  the  President  announced, 
work  would  soon  start  on  the  final  major 
building  project  of  the  program,  the  new 
Administration  and  Classroom  Building, 
scheduled  for  the  corner  of  the  quad- 
rangle directly  across  from  the  West 
Campus  Library. 

Additional  details  of  the  Development 
Program's  achievements  during  1950-51 
are  carried  in  this  issue  of  the  Register 
with  the  story  of  the  National  Council 
meeting. 

Another  Large  Class 

Degrees  awarded  at  graduation  exer- 
cises numbered  1,216.  Of  these  137  were 
earned  as  of  September  1,  1950,  and  the 
rest    during   the    current    academic   year. 

The  University's  three  undergraduate 
colleges  produced  691  candidates  for  de- 
grees this  year.  Trinity  College  offered 
369  for  the  Bachelor  of  Arts  and  19  for 
the  Bachelor  of  Science;  the  Woman's 
College    197    for    the    Bachelor    of    Arts 


and  nine  for  the  Bachelor  of  Science; 
and  the  College  of  Engineering  46  for 
Bachelor  of  Science  in  Mechanical  Engi- 
neering, 21  in  Electrical  Engineering, 
and  20  in  Civil  Engineering. 

Graduate  and  professional  school  de- 
grees, numbering  525,  were  broken  down 
as  follows : 

Diploma  in  Nursing,  39 ;  Bachelor  of 
Science  in  Medicine,  4;  Doctor  of  Medi- 
cine, 76;  Bachelor  of  Laws,  78;  Master 
of  Laws,  5;  Bachelor  of  Divinity,  33; 
Master  of  Religious  Education,  3;  Master 
of  Education,  1 ;  Master  of  Arts,  46 ;  Doe- 
tor  of  Philosophy,  56;  Master  of  For- 
estry,  45;  and  Doctor  of  Forestrv,  2. 


The  Robert  E.  Lee  Prize,  presented 
to  a  member  of  the  senior  class  on  the 
basis  of  leadership,  character,  schol- 
arship and  athletic  ability,  went  this 
year  to  Noyes  Thompson  (Tom) 
Powers,  of  Cumberland,  Md.  It  is  the 
University's   highest    student   honor. 

Tom,  who  graduated  magna  cum 
laude,  was  a  member  of  Phi  Beta 
Kappa,  Omicron  Delta  Kappa,  senior 
class  president,  a  member  of  the  hon- 
orary society  Red  Friars,  and  an  out- 
standing football  and  baseball  star. 
The  Robert  E.  Lee  prize  is  the  gift  of 
the  Rev.  A.  W.  Plyler,  '92,  and  Mrs. 
Plvler.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  June,  1951 


A  number  of  those  seniors  receiving 
degrees  were  simultaneously  given  re- 
serve commissions  in  various  branches 
of  the  armed  service.  Four  Army  Air 
Force  commissions  were  granted,  the  first 
since  the  Duke  Air  R.O.T.C.  was  or- 
ganized two  years  ago.  The  Navy  com- 
missioned 39  ensigns,  the  Marine  Corps 
six  second  lieutenants,  and  one  doctor 
was  commissioned  into  the  Medical  Corps. 
Six  other  Duke  doctors  have  been  com- 
missioned in  the  Army  during  the  aca- 
demic year. 

It  might  be  anticipated  that  a  number 
of  other  graduates  will  be  inducted  into 
the  armed  service  with  somewhat  less 
ceremony  in  coming  weeks. 

No  Time  for  Neutral  Minds 

An  audience  of  parents,  alumni,  and 
visitors  estimated  at  6,000  was  on  hand 
in  the  Indoor  Stadium  to  witness  the 
exercises.  The  academic  procession,  which 
began  forming  in  the  traditional  manner 
along  the  walk  from  the  Clock  Tower  to 
the  gymnasium  at  9:15  a.m.,  attracted  a 
host  of  amateur  photographers  anxious 
to  record  on  film  their  graduating  sons 
and  daughters  and  the  colorful  pageantry 
of  caps  and  gowns. 

The  Honorable  W.  Kerr  Scott,  gov- 
ernor of  North  Carolina,  delivered  the 
message  to  the  graduating  class.  Com- 
mencement speaker  was  Robert  D. 
Calkins,  Ph.D.,  LL.D.,  director  of  the 
General  Education  Board  of  the  Rocke- 
feller Foundation. 

In  the  presidential  address  to  the  de- 
cree  candidates,   Dr.   Edens   commented : 

"The  University  believes  in  you;  other- 
wise she  would  not  have  placed  the  im- 
print of  her  seal  upon  you.  The  members 
af  the  faculty  and  your  other  friends  in 
the  University  will  remember  you  for 
what  you  were  at  your  best  in  conduct 
and  performance.  They  will  expect  much 
from  you  in  the  future. 

"You  have  come  in  contact  while  here 
with  men  and  women  of  strong  convic- 
tions. This  is  no  time  for  neutral  minds. 
The  University  stands  for  something.  It 
believes  in  something.  It  expects  the 
same  of  you,  and  we  have  confidence  that 
you,  as  educated  men  and  women,  will 
subject  your  judgments  always  to  the 
noblest  criteria  which  educated  men  and 
women  have  devised." 

Approximately  one-third  of  the  de- 
crees awarded  this  year  went  to  students 
who  are  native  North  Carolinians.  The 
graduating  class  contained  representa- 
tives of  40  states  and  eight  foreign  coun- 
tries. The  1950-51  student  body  at  Duke 
was  composed  of  students  from  all  48 
states  and  33  foreign  countries.

Board  of  Trustees  in  the  110-year  history 
of  Duke  University  and  Trinity  College. 
She  and  C.  B.  Houck,  '22,  out-going  presi- 
dent of  the  General  Alumni  Association,

"In  Quest  of  the  Great  Age" 


FJ.ccerpts  from   the  'Commencement 

Address 

by  Robert  D.  Calkins,  Director 

General  Education  Board 

Half  a  century  ago,  shortly  after  his 
election  as  President  of  Princeton  Uni- 
versity, Woodrow  Wilson,  speaking  on 
"The  Ideals  of  America"  at  ceremonies 
commemorating  the  one  hundredth  and 
twenty-fifth  anniversary  of  the  Battle  of 
Trenton,  concluded  his  remarks  by  re- 
ferring to  this  country's  coming  day  of 
strength  in  the  Twentieth  Century : 

"It  is  by  the  widening  of  vision,"  he 
said,  "that  nations,  as  men,  grow  and  are 
made  great.  We  need  not  fear  the  ex- 
panding scene."  .  .  . 

Woodrow  Wilson  foresaw,  as  others 
have  foreseen,  the  coming  shift  of  politi- 
cal and  economic  power  in  the  Twenti- 
eth Century.  But  he  could  not  foresee, 
as  one  rarely  can,  the  precise  events  by 
which  those  shifts  would  be  brought 
about.    .  .  . 

Our  day  of  strength  has  arrived,  and 
yet  the  vision  with  which  we  were  ex- 
pected to  exercise  that  tremendous  power 
is  so  wanting  or  uncertain,  that  we  now 
th;nk  less  of  establishing  the  great  age 
of  which  Wilson  spoke,  than  of  avoiding 
wholesale  destruction  of  the  things  that 
mark  our  civilization.    .  .  . 

Upon  thinking  people,  such  as  you 
in  this  audience,  falls  in  your  time  the 
major  responsibility  for  turning  help- 
lessness into  mastery,  drift  into  purpose- 
ful direction,  and  ideals  into  realities.  In 
a  republic  such  as  ours,  where  the  people 
govern,  even  if  only  by  consent,  thinking 
people  and  universities,  like  this,  which 
develop  the  capacity  for  thought  and  vis- 
ion, hold  the  only  power  we  have  to 
steer  our  course  in  the  surging  torrent 
of  world  events  in  which  we  now  move. 

Tou  who  will  shortly  take  over  the 
direction  of  affairs  in  this  country  may 
wish  to  pursue  your  careers  and  seek 
your  own  quiet  lives  undisturbed,  as  men 
have  done  before  you;  but  the  world  of 
your  times  is  destined  to  allow  you  no 
such  retreat.  Because  of  this  nation's 
power  and  influence,  your  behavior  and 
even  your  attitudes  have  become  of  vital 
concern  to  distant  peoples  whom  you 
mav  never  see  and  never  know.    .  .  . 

Perhaps  the  greatest  difficulty  we  must 
overcome  in  order  to  play  the  interna- 
tional role  to  which  we  have  fallen  heir 
is  our  want  of  historical  and  cultural 
perspective  for  dealing  with  other 
peoples.    We  are  new  at  world   politics, 


Robert  D.  Calkins 

and  heretofore  we  have  seen  little  need 
for  an  understanding  of  remote  people 
beyond  the  orbit  of  our  traditions.  Xow 
suddenly  we  find  the  whole  world  stirring 
with  ambitions,  or  being  stirred  by  friend 
or  foe.  Our  neglect  of  education  relating 
to  foreign  cultures  and  world  history  has 
left  us  bewildered  and  unable  to  under- 
stand the  forces  at  work  in  critical  places 
whose  names  and  locations  we  searcely 
know.    .  .  . 

One  of  the  most  immediate  threats  to 
our  conception  of  life  is  Russian  impe- 
rialism and  communism.  Of  them  we 
know  relatively  little,  yet  with  them  we 
must  contend.  But  it  is  illusion  to  re- 
gard communism  and  Russian  imperial- 
ism as  the  sole  obstacles  to  peace  and 
harmony.    .  .  . 

Whether  we  seek  allies  for  a  balance 
of  power  against  totalitarian  commu- 
nism, or  in  the  longer  view  seek  friendly 
relations  in  a  world  in  which  communist 
imperialism  has  been  contained  or  re- 
moved, we  must  recognize  our  own  weak- 
ness in  the  eyes  of  others.  We  are  a 
wealthy  nation  with  good  intentions,  but 
we  are  not  wholly  trusted  even  by  our 
allies.  They  dislike  much  of  our  be- 
havior, and  too  many  of  us  hold  the  no- 
Con,  widely  suspect  beyond  our  borders, 
that  if  only  other  nations  would  adopt 
our  institutions  and  ways — democracy, 
free  enterprise,  materialistic  objectives, 
and  neighborly  good-will  toward  others — 
concord  and  progress  would  be  assured. 
This  to  foreign  countries  is  often  uncon- 
vincing or  unpalatable  in  their  customs. 

Since  the  Great  Discoveries  of  the  fif- 
teenth century,  European  supremacy,  oc- 


cidental civilization  and  Christianity  have 
been  extended  to  the  far  corners  of  the 
earth.  For  four  hundred  years  we  have 
come  to  think  of  European  strength  and 
culture  as  the  only  influence  of  conse- 
quence in  the  world.  We  have  forgotten 
that  prior  to  the  Great  Discoveries, 
China,  India  and  the  Islam  states  wercs 
and  had  been  for  years  the  dominant 
powers  in  the  world.    ... 

Whether  or  not  the  era  of  occidental 
supremacy  has  passed,  the  era  of  in-? 
creasing  influence  from  non-Western 
cultures  is  at  hand.  In  grasping  this  sit- 
uation we  are  at  a  disadvantage  for  we 
know  little  of  these  cultures.  As  Toynbee 
explains  (Civilizations  on  Trial)  the  stir- 
rings in  non-Western  societies  are  of  our 
own  making.  We  have  provided  them 
with  Western  ideas  and  education,  and 
they  have  incorporated  these  influences 
and  our  history  into  theirs,  thus  broaden- 
ing and  transcending  their  own  culture. 
We,  on  the  other  hand,  have  retained  our 
parochial  self-centered  Western  outlook, 
that  scarcely  recognizes  the  existence  of 
any  culture  but  our  own.  If  we  are  to 
deal  with  these  peoples  and  the  forces 
around  us,  and  that  we  must,  we  have  no 
choice  but  to  acquire  an  understanding 
of  the  culture  and  behavior  of  those  who 
lie   outside  the  Western   tradition.     .   .   . 

Our  task  is  very  different  from  that  of 
previous  world  powers.  Heretofore,  the 
great  powers  have  had  large  sprawling 
empires  reaching  over  several  continents. 
In  their  outlying  regions  they  have  had  a 
direct  economic  and  political  stake  and 
the  obligation  to  rule.  The  British,  the 
Dutch,  the  French  and  the  Germans  pre- 
pared themselves  for  the  world  politics  of 
their  time  and  acquired  something  of  a 
cosmopolitan  outlook.  We,  on  the  other 
hand,  seek  no  world  empire;  we  have  no 
desire  to  rule  other  lands;  we  welcome 
self-rule  and  independence.  We  seek  to 
wield  no  power  over  other  peoples  save 
that  of  persuasive  good-will  and  helpful- 
ness. We  seek  to  spread  occidental  ideas 
— our  brand  of  Western  ideas — without 
coercion,  through  lands  where  Western 
influence  has  been  before,  but  at  a  time 
when  those  lands  are  throwing  off  the 
harness  of  occidental  rule.    .  .  . 

As  a  people  we  possess  more  than  a 
vast  scientific  knowledge  and  industrial 
capacity,  more  than  material  comfort  and 
devotion  to  ideals  of  freedom.  We  place 
no  limit  upon  our  capacity  to  discovei 
further  knowledge  of  the  physical  uni- 
verse and  put  it  to  man's  use.  We  have 
only  recently  come  to  suspect  that  the 
materialism  and  physical  comfort  foi 
which  we  are  distinguished  is  not  the 
whole  of  a  great  life,  nor  the  whole  of  a

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  June,  1951 


great  civilization.  When  we  turn  our 
attention  and  energies  resolutely  to  dis- 
cover man's  experience  and  possibilities 
for  rounding  out  great  lives  and  great 
cultures,  we  may  find  the  missing  route 
to  the  great  age,  not  only  for  themselves, 
but  for  peoples  who  desire  to  share  its 
blessings  everywhere.    .  .  . 

Our  universities  have  long  approached 
the  physical  world  in  search  of  universal 
uniformities,  but  in  the  social  and  cul- 
tural fields  they  have  ventured  little  be- 
yond our  Western  heritage.  Unless  I  mis- 
read  the   signs,   we   are   now   entering  a 


period  when,  from  practical  necessity, 
we  shall  lift  our  eyes  and  examine  civili- 
zations that  up  to  now  we  have  ignored. 
From  a  study  of  their  history,  their  in- 
stitutions, their  religions,  their  aspira- 
tions and  their  conduct,  we  shall  gain 
understanding  and  acquire  vision  for  the 
mission  that  falls  to  us  in  our  day  of 
strength.  From  that  study  of  non- West- 
ern cultures  we  may  enrich  our  own 
heritage  and  carry  men  forward  not  only 
to  a  better  life,  but  to  a  better  compre- 
hension of  a  universe,  the  penetration  of 
whose  mysteries  is  man's  unending  cjuest. 


"What  Do  You  Make  of  Life?" 


A   digest   of   the    Baccalaureate    Sermon 
by  The  Reverend  Paul  Eh r man  Scherer, 

»  Professor  of  Homiletics 

Union    Theological   Seminary 

Ask  the  next  person  you  meet  that 
question,  and  the  chances  are  he  will 
answer  you  quite  flatly,  Nothing.  Noth- 
ing at  all.  It's  a  hopeless  jumble.  Things 
just  go  round  and  round,  toward  the 
hole  in  the  sink.  You  fight  a  war  to 
make  the  world  safe  for  democracy,  and 
there's  less  democracy  when  you  finish 
than  there  was  when  you  began.  Then 
you  fight  another  war  for  the  four 
freedoms;  and  the  outcome?  More  be- 
devilment  than  ever  with  want  and  fear; 
and  every  man's  religion  is  free  only  to 
accommodate  itself  to  his  side  of  the  iron 
curtain,  or  to  bow  itself  off  the  stage  en- 
tirely, with  its  hat  under  its  arm,  into 
the  comforts  of  the  Gospel.  I  can  make 
nothing  of  life,  says  the  man  on  the 
street. 

But  put  the  question  to  him  a  bit  dif- 
ferently. Ask  him  this  time,  What  do 
you  make  of  life?  That  undercuts  the 
puzzle.  If  he  answers  now,  I  can  make 
nothing  of  it,  he's  talking  wTorse  than 
nonsense;  he's  taken  to  lying.  A  good 
deal  can  be  made  of  it.  A  good  deal  has 
been  made  of  it. 

Here  you  are,  on  the  threshold  of  a 
world  that  isn't  exactly  holding  out  its 
arms  to  you  in  eager  welcome.  It's  a 
world  with  a  frowning  face  behind  its 
fitful  smile,  threatening  every  other  year 
or  two  to  fall  apart  half  a  dozen  ways  in- 
to ruin.  The  issue  is  going  to  depend  in 
far  greater  measure  than  you  imagine  on 
how  your  generation  regards  this  Chris- 
tian faith  to  which  you  have  fallen  heir. 
It  is  intended  to  be  essentially  creative. 
It  is  here  to  make  a  difference,  both  in- 
side and  out.  Not  to  repair  a  breach  in 
the  walls.    Not  to  shore  up  the  founda- 


The  Rev.  Paul  Ehrman  Scherer 

tions.  Not  to  patch  the  roof  where  the 
rain  comes  in.  To  shape  order  out  of 
chaos.  To  stand  against  some  darkness 
or  some  void  and  watch  the  light  come. 
To  have  a  go  at  shaping  where  you  are 
some  little  corner  of  God's  kingdom,  as 
a  potter  shapes  a  vase.  To  chisel  out  of 
the  crude  granite  of  the  world  "carved 
angels,  eager-eyed,  with  hair  blown  back, 
and  wings  put  cross-wise  on  their 
breasts,"  "choir  over  choir,  face  to  face 
uplifted." 

There  is  no  earthly  objection  to  any- 
body's .using  Christianity  as  a  refuge. 
Never  offer  any  apologies  for  it  on  that 
score.  There  are  times  when  we  need 
shelter :  shelter  from  the  mind's  fear  and 
the  heart's  anguish,  from  sheer  futility 
and  despair.  But  God  help  us  if  we  go 
on  thinking  that's  enough !  Nobody  can 
stand  still  and  be  safe  by  fighting  off  at- 
tack. A  nation  can't,  an  army  can't,  and 
a  soul  can't.  Sometimes  we  talk  about 
saving  Protestantism.  On  the  global  scale 
we  are  busy  saving  our  American  enter- 


prise against  the  inroads  of  Communism. 
And  do  you  know  what  it  all  means? 
It  means  that  both  of  them — Protestant- 
ism and  the  American  ideal — are  in  a  bad 
way!  The  ultimate  secret  of  physical 
health  doesn't  lie  in  brushing  your  teeth 
and  gargling  and  spraying  yourself  with 
germicides. 

Why  is  it  so  hard  to  learn  as  much 
about  these  things  in  our  Western  cul- 
ture with  which  we  have  fallen  so  deeply 
in  love?  Unless  we  can  manage  somehow 
to  get  them  out  from  under  the  defenses 
we  have  been  trying  to  build  around 
them,  and  set  them  on  their  feet  in  the 
world's  face,  conquering  and  to  conquer, 
they're  done! 

Paul  was  sure  that  the  Christian  faith 
was  essentially  creative,  that  it  was  here 
to  make  a  difference.  And  he  was  sure 
of  this  too :  that  with  such  an  incom- 
parably great  thing  as  the  grace  of  God 
involved  in  it,  nobody  could  ever  be  satis- 
fied to  set  it  meagre  tasks  or  reap  from 
it  meagre  harvests.  That  was  unthink- 
able. To  have  the  whole  of  God  in  your 
hands — that's  what  he  says — to  no  point 
and  no  effect,  would  be  to  harness  the 
tides  and  turn  not  even  a  flutter-mill ! 
That  would  be  to  garner  the  driving 
energies  of  all  Creation,  and  use  them  for 
no  purpose!  He  wasn't  afraid  that  God 
would  waste  anything :  he  was  afraid  that 
people  would  waste  God!  Mavbe  you  can 
set  that  God  ?s  he  did — and  it  was  no 
fool's  errand ! — against  the  world  you 
have  on  your  books.  God  will  not  tell  us 
how  to  whip  the  Russians.  He  had  no 
word  for  Paul  about  how  to  whip  Rome. 
He  has  a  word  about  human  life,  and  He 
has  a  word  about  Himself :  I  the  Lord 
thy  God  have  spoken  it.  It  shall  come  to 
pass. 

But  that  word  isn't  for  anybody  who 
keeps  feeling  his  spiritual  pulse,  or  look- 
ing on  from  the  side-lines  to  see  how  the 
game  is  going  now.  It  isn't  for  anybody 
who  hoards  the  faith  he  has,  and  thinks 
that  Christianity  is  his  own  private  road 
to  peace  of  mind.  It's  for  those  who  will 
confront  the  world  again  with  God's 
creative  challenge :  men  and  women,  as 
Visser  t'  Hooft  has  put  it,  who  will  raise 
the  simple,  direct,  concrete,  primeval  hu- 
man issues,  about  our  racial  inequalities, 
our  moral  indifference  to  the  rights  of 
others,  our  callous  exploitation  of  every- 
thing' in  the  heaven  above  and  in  the 
earth  beneath.  It's  for  those  who  with- 
out fear  of  result  or  hope  of  reward  will 
take  their  place  on  the  side  of  the  poor 
and  the  needy  and  the  disinherited  :  not 
to  solve  the  sterile  problems  of  living,  but 
to  set  once  more  for  men  the  problem  of 
life.

One  Million  Dollars  Left  to  Go 

National  Council  Surveys  a  Year  of  Great  Achievement  and  Plans  New  Moves 


Duke  University's  drive  toward  an  im- 
mediate $8,650,000  Development  Program 
goal  during  1950-51  has  produced 
$7,500,000. 

This  was  announced  for  the  first  time, 
officially,  by  Benjamin  F.  Few,  '15,  A.M. 
'16,  at  the  Commencement  meeting  of 
the  National  Council  on  Saturday.  June 
2,  the  very  day  that  the  $7,500,000  figure 
was  reached. 

The  national  chairman  emphasized,  in 
his  announcement,  the  double  importance 
of  the  approximately  $1,000,000  still 
needed  to  reach  the  $S,650,000  objective. 
This  sum  must  be  raised  as  part  of  the 
$3,000,000  still  required  to  match  gifts 
offered  by  the  General  Education  Board 
and  an  anonymous  donor  on  a  contingent 
basis. 

Edwin  L.  Jones,  '12,  of  Charlotte,  N. 
C,  presiding  at  the  meeting,  in  the  ab- 
sence of  Chairman  Kenneth  II.  Brim,  '20, 
reminded  Council  members  that  the  total 
announced  included  these  contingent 
funds,  and  that  all  of  the  money  cannot 
be  counted  as  actually  in  hand  until  the 
last  dollar  of  the  matching  fund  is 
pledged. 

The  Council  then  unanimously  carried 
a  motion  by  Mr.  Few  that  the  campaign 
be  extended  to  December  31,  1951,  and 
that  alumni  who  have  volunteered  to 
serve  as  campaign  workers  be  requested 
to  dedicate  their  efforts  to  raising  the 
amount  still  necessary  to  the  goal  within 
the  next  six  months. 


Alonzo  C.  Edwards,  '25,  new  National  Council  Chairman,  inspects  the  Devel 
opruent  Campaign  display  in  the  Union  lobby  during  Commencement. 


"This  next  $1,000,000,"  Mr.  Few  com- 
mented, "should  be  within  easy  reach.  I 
would  remind  you  that  only  a  small  per- 
centage of  our  fellow-alumni  have  thus 
far  pledged  to  give  to  this  program.  This 
is  true  primarily  because  only  a  small 
percentage  has  as  yet  been  asked  to  give. 
Among  those  who  have  been  asked,  the 
response  has  been  great. 

"In  the  sort  of  an  intensified  campaign 


necessary  to  raise  the  kind  of  mone? 
Duke  must  have,  it  has  been  impossible 
to  reach  into  every  segment  of  the  alumni 
body  within  the  time  that  has  elapsed 
Nor  has  there  been  available  a  staff  largi 
enough  to  push  this  thing  everywhere  i 
should  be  pushed. 

"TVe  have,  therefore,  an  opportunity 
to  reach  our  goal  by  extending  our  plei 
to  all  of  our  alumni.  If  we  can  get  thi 
participation  that  the  Loyalty  Fund  hai 
enjoyed  in  past  years,  with  an  averagi 
gift  equal  to  that  of  this  past  year*! 
Development  Campaign,  then  success  is  J 
foregone   conclusion."

from  about  4,000  alumni  and  friends. 
We  need  to  raise  the  money,  but  equally 
important  is  the  source  of  that  money. 
Along  with  our  attempts  to  raise  the 
money  should  go  the  attempt  to  visit 
personally  every  single  alumnus  and  to 
obtain  some  subscription,  no  matter  how 
small.  Much  of  the  lack  of  response  is 
jdue  to  the  fact  that  our  alumni  are  not 
in  the  habit  of  giving.  I  have  a  notion 
that  we  ought  to  start  getting  that  habit." 

Members  of  the  Council  were  wel- 
comed by  President  Edens  at  the  opening 
of  their  Commencement  meeting.  The 
President  expressed  to  each  of  them  his 
own  and  the  University's  deep  apprecia- 
tion for  the  part  that  they  had  played, 
by  giving  of  their  time  and  their  means, 
in  the  great  success  of  the  1950-51  cam- 
paign. 

Dr.  Edens  revealed  to  alumni  at  the 
'General  Alumni  Association  dinner  Sat- 
urday night  the  news  of  the  Development 
Campaign's  outstanding  success.  On 
Monday  he  announced  it  to  the  public 
at  graduation  exercises  and  added  that 
[the  proposed  Administration  and  Class- 
iroom  Building  would  soon  begin  to  rise 
on  West  Campus. 

Each  member  of  the  National  Council 
was  given  a  full  and  detailed  report  of 
|the  campaign,  with  results  by  regions, 
classes,  and  schools.  The  report  for  the 
Current  fiscal  year  will  not  be  complete 
pntil  June  30.  Later  some  of  the  details 
bf  the  results  of  the  campaign  will  be 
published  for  all  alumni  to  examine. 

Edwards  Is  New  Chairman 

Alonzo  C.  Edwards,  '25,  of  Hooker- 
Iton,  N.  C,  was  unanimously  elected 
bhairman  of  the  National  Council  for 
1951-52.  Mr.  Edwards  is  one  of  North 
Carolina's  leading  farmers  and  has  been 
prominent  in  State  and  national  farm  or- 
ganizations for  a  number  of  years.  Vig- 
)rous  and  active  and  an  able  leader,  he 
s  expected  to  direct  the  efforts  of  the 
National  Council  to  a  successful  culmina- 
ion  of  the  current  campaign  for  urgently 
leeded  funds. 

Mr.  Edwards  succeeds  Kenneth  M. 
irim,  '20,  of  Greensboro,  N.  C,  who  was 
inable  to  attend  the  Commencement 
neeting  of  the  Council  because  of  busi- 
less  of  an  emergency  nature.  Mr.  Brim, 
vho  has  been  outstanding  in  University 
ictivities  during  the  year,  has  drawn 
ligh  praise  from  President  Edens  and 
rom  fellow-Council  members  for  his 
ecomplishments. 


Elected  vice-chairman  of  the  National 
Council  was  Dr.  H.  K.  Terry,  '36,  of 
Miami,  Fla.  Dr.  Terry  received  the 
D.M.D.  from  Harvard  in  1940. 

Named  to  the  executive  committee  were 
Edwin  L.  Jones,  Jr.,  B.S.C.E.  '48; 
Charles  S.  Clegg,  '26;  and  B.  Everett 
Jordan,  '18.  Elected  representatives-at- 
large  to  the  Council  were  Mr.  Jones; 
Charles  S.  Rhyne,  '34;  Mr.  Jordan;  Leon 
S.  Ivey,  '26;  and  Estelle  Flowers  Spears 
(Mrs.  Marshall  T.),  '14. 

The  slate  of  officers  was  presented  by 
Richard  E.  Thigpen,  '22,  on  behalf  of 
the    Executive    Committee. 

After  Four  Years 

After  four  full  years  of  activity,  the 
Duke  University  National  Council,  or- 
ganized in  1947,   can  look  back  upon  a 


brief  but  significant  history  of  contribu- 
tions to  Duke. 

Since  its  organization  it  has  brought 
into  a  cohesive  and  effectively  operating 
unit  representatives  of  the  University's 
somewhat  heterogeneous  alumni  groups. 
It  has  succeeded  in  coordinating  the  ac- 
tivities of  alumni  organizations  and  in 
bringing  them  and  the  University  into  a 
profitable  and   productive  partnership. 

Its  major  accomplishment  has  been  the 
organization  of  the  Loyalty  Fund, 
through  which  Duke  has  received,  and 
will  continue  to  receive,  annual  financial 
support,  and  the  conduct  of  the  Develop- 
ment Campaign  to  provide  urgently 
needed   money   for   capital   expenditures. 

The  National  Council  enters  its  fifth 
year  with  a  record  of  significant  accom- 
plishments behind  it  and  prospects  for 
even  greater  achievement  ahead.

and 


Three  Receive  Honorary  Degrees 


Julian  Parks  Boyd,  '25,  A.M.  '26,  li- 
brarian of  Princeton  University,  his- 
torian, editor,  and  administrator,  was 
awarded  the  Litt.  D.  degree  at  Com- 
mencement. A  tireless  collector  and  ac- 
curate interpreter  of  historical  materials, 
Mr.  Boyd  is  the  editor  of  a  50-volume 
collection  of  Jefferson's  papers.  Like 
Jefferson,  he  is  an  aristocrat  in  intellect 
and  a  democrat  in  his  desire  to  put  the 
power  of  truth  and  the  privilege  of 
inquiry  at  the  free  disposal  of  all  men. 

Gordon  Gray,  president  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  North  Carolina,  received  the 
LL.D.  degree.  He  is  also  a  lawyer,  legis- 
lator and  an  editor.  Having  entered  the 
Army  of  the  United  States  as  a  private, 
he  rapidly  advanced  in  the  service,  and 
then  became   Secretary  of  the  Army.    A 


far-sighted  statesman,  he  has  merited 
the  commendation  of  his  country  for, 
among  many  other  distinguished  services, 
a  significant  report  on  international  eco- 
nomic of  matters  of  far-reaching  impor- 
tance, President  Gray  is  an  effective 
leader  of  democratic  higher  education  at 
one  of  the  nation's  oldest  and  foremost 
state  universities. 

Liston  Corlando  Pope,  '29,  B.D.  '32, 
who  was  presented  the  D.D.  degree,  is 
the  first  son  of  the  South  to  become  Dean 
of  the  Divinity  School  of  Yale  Univer- 
sity. A  native  North  Carolinian,  a  bril- 
liant seholor,  author,  and  lecturer  in 
social  ethics,  he  is  an  unexcelled  pioneer 
in  the  professional  education  of  an  ecu- 
menical ministry  for  a  world  in  grave 
moral  crisis.

greats  of  Duke  baseball.  He  was  a  star 
shortstop  on  the  team  from  1928  through 
1930,  and  later  became  a  major  league

Kenneth  Brim,  '20,  Greensboro,  X.   C. 

Approximately  500  alumni  filled  two 
West  Campus  dining  halls  for  the  dinner 
meeting.  Classes  holding  reunions  had 
the  largest  representations,  but  practi- 
cally every  class  for  the  past  60  years 
sent  delegates. 

Representatives  of  the  senior  classes 
and  their  parents  were  guests  of  the 
Association  for  the  occasion.  The  class 
of  1951  was  presented  to  President  Houck 
for  acceptance  into  the  alumni  association 
by  Charles  A.  Dukes,  director  of  Alumni 
Affairs. 

Presiding  over  the  meeting  was  out- 
going president,  Mr.  Houck.  President 
Hollis  Edens  welcomed  the  alumni,  and 
he  added   words   of  high   praise  for  the 


success  of  the  Development  Campaign 
that  was  due  to  the  enthusiasm  and  vig- 
orous activity  of  alumni.  He  made  an  ad- 
vance announcement  that  the  fund  total 
had  reached  $7,500,000.

The  triple  quartet  from  the  Duke 
Men's  Glee  Club,  led  by  J.  Foster  Barnes, 
director  of  music,  sang  three  numbers  for 
the  entertainment  of  the  alumni.  This 
completes  the  24th,  season  of  music  lead- 
ership on  the  Duke  campus  by  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Barnes. 

Coma  Cole  Willard  (Mrs.  Walter  B.), 
'22,  of  Raleigh,  president  of  the  Alumnae 
Association,  brought  greetings  to  the  as- 
semblage from  the  alumnae,  and  wel- 
comed the  incoming  senior  class. 

Edward  L.  Cannon,  '26,  also  of  Ra- 
leigh, president  of  the  class  of  1926, 
which  this  year  celebrated  its  25th  anni- 
versary, was  recognized.  He  spoke  to 
the  alumni  about  the  Silver  Anniversary 
class  and  enumerated  some  interesting 
statistics  about  the  various  professions 
and  activities   of  its  members. 

Several  alumni  were  especially  recog- 
nized at  the  dinner.  Xellie  Edwards 
Cranford  (Mrs.  W.  I.),  Durham;  Frank 
Armfield,  Oxford;  and  the  Reverend  M. 
T.  Plyler,  Durham;  all  members  of  the 
class  of  '92,  shared  the  honor  of  repre- 
senting the  oldest  class  with  members  at- 
tending. Thomas  Smart,  '41,  LL.B.  '47, 
and  Rae  Elizabeth  Rogers  Smart  (Mrs. 
T.),  '41,  from  Denver,  Colo.,  were  the 
alumni  coming  from  the  longest  distance.

the  nominating  committee  was  proposed 
by  Edwin  L.  Jones,  '12,  University  trus- 
tee. Nominations  were  seconded,  and  the 
committee's  candidates  were  elected  unan- 
imously. 

Following  the  dinner  and  the  combined 
entertainment  program  and  business 
meeting,  alumni  adjourned  to  Page  Audi- 
torium to  see  the  student  musical  produc- 
tion, Belles  and  Ballots.  Some  1,000 
alumni  and  townspeople  attended  the 
performance,  which  was  the  first  Hoof 
'n'  Horn  show  to  be  presented  at  Com- 
mencement. The  show  met  with  the  en- 
thusiastic approval  of  an  audience  that 
has  requested  more  entertainment  by  stu- 
dent groups  at  future  alumni  sessions.

Jr.,  assistant  professor  of  zoology.  The 
wives  of  staff  members  gave  him  a  silver 
bowl.  Dr.  C.  G.  Bookhout,  assistant  pro-

present  : 

Bev.  J.  J.  Boone,  Enfield,  N.  C;  Ju- 
lian C.  Bundv,  2319  Pembroke  Ave., 
Charlotte,  N.  C. ;  Phillip  J.  Johnson,  430

At  the  last  reunion  a  committee  had 
been  appointed  to  study  the  possibilities 
of  a  class  memorial  gift  to  the  Univer- 
sity. That  committee  was  composed  of 
A.  M.  Proctor,  J.  C.  Bundy  and  Miss 
Matilda  Michaels.  A.  M.  Proctor  re- 
ported for  the  committee  that  some  in- 
vestigation had  been  made  but  no  action 
taken.  By  unanimous  vote  the  committee 
was  continued  and  instructed  to  study 
the  matter  further  and  to  report  to  the 
members  of  the  class  by  correspondence 
whatever  action  they  wished  to  recom- 
mend. 

The  class  agent,  A.  M.  Proctor  re- 
ported on  the  work  of  the  Development 
Prog-ram  and  urged  all  the  members  to 
renew  their  efforts  to  help  make  the  class 


come  out  with  a  creditable  contribution 
to  the  program.  It  was  suggested  in  the 
discussion  that  the  class  agent  get  out 
a  news  letter  about  the  progress  of  the 
Program  to  the  various  members  of  the 
class  not  present. 

Phillip  J.  Johnson  was  elected  his- 
torian of  the  class  and  was  instructed  to 
gather  biographical  data  of  the  class 
members  and  compile  this  and  send  it  to 
all  the  class  members. 

Upon  recommendation  of  the  nominat- 
ing committee  the  following  were  elected 
as  class  officers : 

President,  Phillip  J.  Johnson;  vice-^ 
president,  Julian  C.  Bundy;  secretary 
and  treasurer,  Mrs.  Maude  Hurley  Chad- 
wick; representative  to  the  National 
Council,  A.  M.  Proctor;  representative 
to  the  Alumnae  Council,  Mrs.  Mary 
Tapp  Jenkins. 

This  concluded  the  business  and  the 
class   adjourned. 

A.  M.  Proctor,  reporter. 


The  classes  of  1910,  1911,  and  1912 
were  back  at  Duke  for  a  joint  reunion 
this  Commencement  of  1951.  Of  all  re- 
unions, this  was  the  very  best.  We  sorely 
missed  each  class  member  who  failed  to 
answer  roll  call,  but  those  of  us  who  did 
not  only  had  a  wonderful  time  but 
brought  home  many  hajspy  memories  to 
add  to  the  numerous  ones  we  already 
have  of  our  college  contemporaries  and 
our  beloved  Alma  Mater. 

Following  the  reunion  luncheon,  which 
had  many  high  spots,  the  highest  being 
that  we  had  with  us  five  of  our  most  be- 
loved teachers  of  former  days,  the  class 
of  1911  held  its  class  meeting.  Sam 
Angier  presided  in  the  absence  of  Paul 
Kiker.  Sam  did  a  good  job,  and  very 
quickly  the  following  officers  were 
elected:  P.  Frank  (Hap)  Hanes,  Win- 
ston-Salem, N.  C,  president;  Sam  J. 
Angier,  Durham,  vice-president;  Emma 
Babbitt  Whitesides  (Mrs.  Blount),  Clin-^ 
ton,  N.  C,  secretary-treasurer;  Mary 
Freeman  Herring  (Mrs.  W.  H),  Ra- 
leigh, N.  C,  representative  to  the  Alum- 
nae Council;  J.  B.  Courtney,  Winston- 
Salem,  N.  C,  representative  to  National 
Council.  In  addition  to  the  above  named 
officers,  other  members  present  were 
Christine  Mcintosh  Page;  Raymond 
Bell;   B.   F.  Hurley;   James  H.  Warbui-

ton ;   Grace   Cocherham ;   Baxter  Proctor, 
and  Lou  Ola  Tuttle  Moser. 

At  four  o'clock  the  three  reunion 
classes  went  to  the  home  of  Sol  Brower 
for  a  coffee  hour.  Mrs.  Brower  and  Sol 
were  so  charmingly  hospitable  that  the 
hour  ran  into  two  or  more,  and  we  still 
lingered,  enjoying  the  delicious  coffee,  the 
good  things  to  eat,  and  each  other's 
company.

'  At  one  o'clock  on  Sunday,  June  3,  a 
most  enjoyable  joint  reunion  dinner  for 
the  classes  of  '10,  '11,  and  '12  was  held  in 
a  West  Campus  Union  dining  hall.  P. 
Frank  (Hap)  Hanes,  '11,  was  master  of 
ceremonies,  and  presided  in  a  delight- 
fully informal  manner.  He  recognized 
our  special  guests  for  the  reunion,  Dr. 
and  Mrs.  W.  H.  Wannamaker,  Dr.  and 
Mrs.  W.  T.  Laprade,  Professor  and  Mrs. 
R.  X.  Wilson,  Professor  and  Mrs.  A.  M. 
Webb,  and  Mr.  and  Mrs.  C.  B.  Markham. 
In  turn,  in  a  humorous  and  happy  fash- 
ion, our  former  professors  brought  greet- 
ings to  their  former  students. 

President  Hollis  Edens  paid  a  short 
visit  to  the  reunion  classes,  and  was  in- 
troduced. In  his  inimitable  way  he 
brought  gracious  greetings  from  the  Uni- 
versity. Charles  A.  Dukes,  director  of 
Alumni  Affairs,  and  C.  B.  Houck,  presi- 
dent of  the  General  Alumni  Association 
also  attended. 

Our  toastmaster  then  called  upon  the 
presidents  of  the  three  classes  for  greet- 
ings or  messages.  Those  responding  were 
Mrs.  Mary  Tapp  Jenkins,  '10;  Sam  J. 
Angier,  vice-president  of  '11;  and  Henry 
A.   McKinnon,  '12. 

''Hap"  then  presented  the  most  dis- 
tinguished member  of  the  three  classes, 
United  States  Junior  Senator  Willis 
Smith,  '10,  who  had  been  chosen  as  din- 
ner speaker  for  the  occasion.  In  a  pleas- 
ing manner  he  recalled  to  mind  incidents 
of  our  college  days,  dwelling  particu- 
larly on  the  inspiration  gained  in  Dr. 
Minis'  English  courses,  and  sent  us  all  in 
happy  reminiscence   down  memory  lane. 

Following  the  speech,  A.  S.  (Sol) 
Brower,  '12,  extended  from  himself  and 
his  charming  wife  a  cordial  invitation  to 
an  open  house  at  their  home  in  Forest 
Hills. 

Tt  was  indeed  a  pleasure  to  have  pres- 
ent at  the  reunion  so  many  wives  and 
husbands  of  class  members.  Their  pres- 
ence added  much  to  the  enjoyableness  of 
the  occasion. 

To  the  Alumni  Office,  Miss  Anne  Gar- 
rard and  her  able  staff,  and  to  the  vari- 


ous committees,  the  members  of  the 
classes  of  '10,  '11  and  '12  are  deeply 
indebted  for  helping  so  wonderfully  with 
all  the  arrangements  for  the  joint  re- 
union. We  are  grateful  for  the  lovely 
flowers,  the  excellent  food,  and  for  the 
endless  details  so  necessary  to  the  suc- 
cess of  the  reunion,  which  proved  to  be 
the  best  attended  and  one  of  the  most 
delightful  the  classes  have  ever  held. 

At  the  close  of  the  joint  meeting,  the 
individual  classes  met  separately  for 
short  business  meetings.  At  the  meeting 
of  the  class  of  '12,  twenty-four  members 
were  present.  The  meeting  was  called  to 
order  by  the  president,  Henry  McKin- 
non. The  minutes  of  the  class  reunion  of 
1946   were  read   and   approved. 

Floyd  S.  Bennett,  chairman  of  the 
nominating  committee,  presented  the  fol- 
lowing slate  of  officers :  president,  Polly 
Heitman  Ivey  (Mrs.  L.  L.),  Raleigh,  N. 
C. ;  vice-president,  A.  S.  (Sol)  Brower, 
Duke  University,  Durham;  to  continue  as 
permanent  secretary,  Mary  Gorham  Cobb 
(Mrs.  W.  H.),  321  Green  Street,  Fayette- 
ville  X.  C. ;  Xational  Council  Representa- 
tive, J.  Allen  Lee,  Monroe,  X.  C. ;  Alum- 
nae Council  Representative,  Emma  Me- 
Cullen  Covington  (Mrs.  J.  X.),  Rocking- 
ham, X.  C.  The  slate  was  unanimously 
adopted. 

Reports  on  absent  members  were  called 
for  and  letters  of  regret  from  some  were 


read.  The  secretary  was  asked  to  read 
the  names  of  the  deceased  members  of  the 
class.  It  was  with  sorrow  that  we  learned 
there  were  54  names  on  the  list. 

The  "girls"  of  the  class  expressed  their 
appreciation  to  Leon  Jones  for  the  red 
and  white  roses  presented  them  on  enter- 
ing the  dining  hall.  A  small  expense  ac- 
count attendant  to  the  reunion  was  taken 
care  of  by  members  of  the  class.  A  vote 
of  thanks  was  tendered  "Sol"  and  Mrs. 
Brower  for  the  lovely  courtesy  extended 
the  three  reunion  classes,  and  the  meet- 
ing adjourned  to  the  Browers  for  a  happy 
ending  to  the  eighth  reunion  of  the  class 
of  1912.

A  Friday  night  open  house  at  Hope 
Valley  Country  Club  for  members  of  the 
ebsses  of  '35,  '36,  and  '37  got  the  reunion 
off  to  a  good  start.  John  Moorhead,  '35, 
and  James  L.  Xewsom,  '35,  LL.B.  '37, 
both  of  Durham,  were  in  charge.  Quite 
a  number  were  present  and  enjoyed  this 
informal  occasion. 

Reuben  Smith's  Lake  on  Wake  Forest 
Road  was  the  scene  of  a  joint  picnic  at 
one  o'clock  on  Saturday,  attended  by  mem- 
bers of  all  three  classes,  their  husbands, 
wives,  and  children.  A  good  time  was  had

From  the  Fiftieth  Year  Class  President 


The  following  is  a  message  from  Ste- 
phen W.  Anderson,  Wilson,  N.  C,  presi- 
dent of  the  Class  of  1901,  written  for 
the   Golden   Anniversary   of   his   class: 

I  feel  sure  I  speak  for  those  of  the 
Class  of  1901  fortunate  enough  to  be 
present  in  person,  when  I  say  we  are 
thankful  after  50  years  to  be  able  to  at- 
tend the  Half  Century  celebration.  It  is 
with  sadness  we  note  the  small  attend- 
ance. Some  have  passed  on,  whose  pass- 
ing we  sincerely  regret ;  and  I  was  deeply 
touched  by  letters  from  some  whose 
health  would  not  permit  their  being  here. 
They  are  with  us  in  spirit,  and  we  very 
much  regret  their  absence.  It  is  our  hope 
that  their  afflictions  are  temporary,  and 
they  will  be  spared  for  many  years  to 
come. 

We  appreciate  the  privilege  of  being 
here,  and  feel  honored  in  being  inducted 
into  the  Half  Century  Club  of  Duke  Uni- 
versity. 

Our  Class  was  at  Trinity  College  when 
Mr.  Washington  Duke  gave,  as  I  recall 
it,    the    first    $1,000,000.00.     There    was 


quite  a  celebration.  This  was  followed  by 
gifts  from  other  members  of  the  Duke 
family,  all  causes  for  celebrations,  then 
culminating  in  the  great  philanthropy  of 
Mr.  Buchanan  Duke  which  has  made  us 
feel  like  celebrating  ever  since. 

The  high  ideals  which  made  Trinity 
College  a  factor  in  North  Carolina's 
educational  progress  made  a  firm  founda- 
tion for  Duke  University  to  build  on. 
We  are  proud  of  our  connection  with 
that  institution.  We  have  been  intensely 
interested  and  proud  of  the  tremendous 
accomplishment  in  building,  equipping, 
and  staffing  this  great  University  which 
has  become  respected  on  a  Xational  scale, 
and  we  are  even  prouder  of  the  fact  that 
our  present  administration  is  not  "rest- 
ing on  its  oars,"  but  is  making  plans  for 
the  future  to  keep  abreast  of  the  chang- 
ing times.    We  wish  more  power  to  you. 

We  appreciate  the  consideration  shown 
our  Class  today,  and  feel  sure  you  can 
count  on  our  continued  loyalty  through- 
out the  lives  of  each  of  us.

"Tremendous  Success"  Say  '26ers,  As  A  Big 
Reunion  Is  Remembered 


Members  of  the  Silver  Anniversary 
Class  of  1926  thought  their  25th  reunion 
was  a  tremendous  success.  A  class  head- 
quarters room  in  Dormitory  0  formed  a 
center  of  activities  for  the  whole  week 
end,  where  bull  sessions  and  hilarity  con- 
tinued until  all  hours. 

By  Saturday  afternoon,  most  of  the  re- 
turning members  had  gathered  in  the 
headquarters.  A  band  concert,  for  the 
benefit  of  all  those  attending  reunions 
and  Commencement,  was  played  on  the 
lawn  just  outside  the  dormitory.  It  fur- 
nished good  background  music,  and  got 
the  class  off  to  a  good  start. 

Yellowed  old  copies  of  The  Chronicle, 
resurrected  from  somebody's  attic,  a  1926 
Commencement  Program,  programs  from 
the  senior  dance  which  was  the  first  given 
at  Duke,  and  playbills  for  "Cyrano"  and 
other  plays,  were  displayed  in  the  head- 
quarters. They  started  many  '26ers  remi- 
niscing and  furnished  a  basis  for  much 
fun  and  laughter. 

Up-to-date  information   on   class  mem- 


bers was  furnished  by  the  silver  anni- 
versary booklet,  the  "Bull-Etin."  Fea- 
tured on  the  cover  was  the  class  emblem, 
a  bull.  Included  in  the  booklet  were  ad- 
dresses of  class  members,  biographical 
data,  and  pertinent  excerpts  from  "The 
Chronicle,"  1922-26.  Badges  saying 
"Champion  Bull  Shooter"  and  "Champion 
Bull  Thrower"  were  also  distributed  to 
various  members. 

The  class  met  in  the  headquarters  room 
and  went  together  to  the  General  Alumni 
Dinner  on  Saturday  evening,  where  Ed 
Cannon,  president,  spoke  briefly  for  the 
class. 

Following  the  dinner,  '26ers  adjourned 
to  the  Washington  Duke  Hotel  where 
Stanton  Pickens  had  arranged  an  infor- 
mal party.  Everyone  visited  from  table 
to  table,  swapping  stories,  reminiscing, 
and  bringing  each  other  up-to-date  after 
25  years.  There  was  music  all  through 
the  party,  and  inevitably  the  group  gath- 
ered around  the  piano  to  harmonize  on 
such    old   favorites    as    "Linger   Awhile," 


"Who,"  "Has  Anybody  Seen  My  Gal," 
"Get  You  a  Kitchen  Mechanic,"  and  of 
course,  "Trinity"  and  "Dear  Old  Duke." 
The  singing  stopped  onlv  when  the  pianist 
did. 

On  Sunday  morning,  members  of  the 
class  wandered  off  to  sit  under  the  trees 
and  listen  to  the  Baccalaureate  Sermon 
over  the  loudspeakers,  or  for  more  con- 
versation. 

The  class  was  very  pleased  and  flattered 
that,  with  all  the  demands  a  Commence- 
ment puts  on  them,  so  many  of  the  faculty 
members  who  had  taught  them  came  to 
the  tea  in  their  honor  Sunday  afternoon 
in  the  Union  Ballroom.  Olive  Faucette 
Jenkins  (Mrs.  J.  E.)  was  in  charge,  and 
was  ably  assisted  by  Merle  Davis  Umstead 
(Mrs.  W.  B.)  and  Elizabeth  Morris.  Mrs. 
Martin  Black,  Mrs.  Cary  Maxwell  and 
Mrs.  Alton  Knight  served.  Many  of  the 
children  of  '26ers  were  on  proud  display 
by  their  parents. 

The  class  dinner,  grand  finale  of  the 
week  end,  with  Alton  Knight  in  charge, 
was  held  at  the  Washington  Duke  Hotel. 
The  buffet  style  dinner  was  well  attended 
by  members  of  the  class  and  their  fami- 
lies. Ed  Cannon  was  master  of  cere- 
monies, and  called  on  each  member  of  the 
class  for  a  word.  Informality  was  the 
keynote  of  the  gathering. 

At  a  short  business  meeting,  C.  W. 
(Soup)  Porter,  Lenoir,  N.  C,  was  elected 
representative  to  the  National  Council, 
and  Elizabeth  Roberts  Cannon,  Raleigh, 
N.  C,  representative  to  the  Alumnae 
Council.  Other  class  officers  are  Ed  Can- 
non, Raleigh,  president;  Garah  B.  (Jack) 
Caldwell,  Dobbs  Ferry,  N.  Y.,  vice-presi- 
dent; Dr.  Frances  Holmes  McCausland 
(Mrs.  A.  M.),  Los  Angeles,  Calif.,  secre- 
tary; and  Earl  P.  MeFee,  Gloucester, 
Mass.,  treasurer. 

Special  credit  is  due  Ben  Powell,  chair- 
man of  arrangements;  Charlie  Clegg, 
chairman  of  finance;  Stanton  Pickens, 
chairman  of  entertainment  and  special 
features;  and  Ed  Cannon,  class  president, 
for  a  highly  successful  reunion. 

Everybody  present  planned  to  comf 
back  in  1956,  when  the  class  of  1926  will 
meet  with  the  classes  of  1925,  1927,  and 
1928.  They  hope  even  more  of  their  class- 
mates will  join  them  at  that  time. 

Members  of  the  class  of  1926  present

be  mailed  to  them  so  that  their  votes  may 
be  included  in  the  final  tally.  It  is  ex- 
pected that  this  business  will  be  com- 
pleted within  the  next  month  so  that  the 
new  class  officers  can  be  announced  at  the 
next  printing  of  the  Register. 

It  is  hoped  that  this  move  on  the  part 


of  those  present  will  be  confirmed  by  the 
members  of  the  class,  and  that  response  to 
the  balloting  will  be  representative  of  the 
desires  of  the  class. 

Elizabeth  Walters  Walton 
(Mrs.  Loring) 


Forty-niners  held  their  first  class  re- 
union on  Sunday,  June  2,  at  one  o'clock. 
Gate  seven  was  the  scene  of  a  picnic 
which  was  attended  by  class  members 
who  found  it  possible  to  get  away  from 
their  jobs  and  other  confining  duties  for 
reunion  week  end.  Several  of  those  pres- 
ent were  able  to  attend  other  activities 
planned  for  all  returning  alumni. 

The  business  discussed  concerned  the 
election  of  class  officers  to  officiate  until 
the  next  reunion.  Those  present  voted  to 
consider  themselves  only  a  nominating 
committee  in  the  absence  of  a  larger  repre- 
sentation. A  slate  of  candidates  was  ap- 
proved by  the  group,  and  it  will  be  mailed 
to  a  class  chairman  in  each  major  city. 
The  chairman  will  contact  members  of  the 
class  in  his  city  and  record  the  ballots  for 
each  candidate,  then  forward  the  slate  to 
the  alumni  office.  For  those  members  not 
residing  in  the  large  cities,  a  ballot  will 


41's  Big  Tenth  Is  Joyfully  Hailed 


No  kidding,  OUR  Tenth  Reunion  was 
one  of  the  few  that  really  lived  lip  to 
expectations.  According  to  Alumni  Of- 
fice figures  we  had  the  biggest  crowd, 
and  according  to  those  present,  we  had 
the  best  program  and  more  spirit  than 
any  Tenth  Reunion  Class  in  a  long  time 
(the  latter  fact  confirmed  by  the  Alumni 
Office). 

The  Reunion  Committee's  plan  of 
"something  going  on  every  minute"  paid 
off.  Actually  only  one  person  from  '41 
attended  the  Saturday  Campus  Tour  but 
all  other  functions  were  well  attended. 
So  for  those  of  you  who  couldn't  make 
it,  here  are  the  highlights: 

Friday,  June  1st 

As  the  early  arrivals  came  in  they  were 
assigned  to  House  N  quarters  .  .  .  but 
"no  comment"  on  the  later  nocturnal 
ramblings  of  some  of  our  perennial  fresh- 
men classmates!  Among  the  earliest  ar- 
rivals were  Tom  and  Rae  Rogers  Smart 
all  the  way  from  Denver,  Colo.  The  1941 
sponsored  Golf  Tournament  got  under- 
way with  11  members  of  the  class  entered 
and  ended  Saturday  with  Wallace  See- 
man  winning  low  gross  score  for  the 
class.  The  most  widely  attended  Friday 
function  was  the  Open  House  at  "Casa 
Pike,"  Med  Student  Bob  Pike's  apart- 
ment. What  exactly  went  on  is  a  little 
vague  to  most  of  us,  but  the  outstanding 
event  was  the  midnight  snack.  Actually, 
there  was  nothing  of  historic  value  about 
the  cold  cuts  and  tuna  fish  salad,  but  did 
you  ever  see  a  tortoise  sandwich?  This 
was  one  delicacy  Jill  Moyer  and  Millie 
Koon  (Pike's  gal)  had  just  as  soon  been 
kept  by  Duncan  Kines,  as  evidenced  by 
the  screams. 

About  3  A.M.  some  of  the  hardier  of 
the  species  headed  for  Raleigh  (with 
wives — fooled  some  of  you  wise  guys, 
didn't  I)  to  call  on  J.  D.  Long.  So  the 
spirit  still  lives ! 

Saturday,  June  2nd 
As  mentioned  before,  Jean  Linton 
Sheppard  was  the  sole  member  of  the 
morning  tour  group.  She  had  to  admit 
that  she  learned  more  about  Duke  then 
than  she  did  during  her  4-year  sojourn. 


The  afternoon  picnic  was  a  big  success 
with  the  uneaten  turtles  stealing  the 
show.  Ed  Bunce  christened  them  the 
Class  Mascots,  mainly  because  of  their 
perseverance  and  willingness  to  overcome 
their  main  obstacle  (their  confining  box) 
even  if  it  meant  climbing  on  another 
turtle's  back.  The  evening  saw  the  finest 
event  of  the  week  end.  Social  Committee- 
men Ed  Fike  and  John  Dozier  obtained 
at  the  last  minute  a  lovely  private  resi- 
dence somewhere  off  the  Greensboro 
highway.  There  was  a  comfortable  cool 
terrace — a  real  treat  during  a  searing 
week  end — fine  service  and  excellent  food. 
After  a  brief  business  meeting  held  be- 
tween courses,  the  Alumni  Office  showed 
a  film  of  the  outstanding  football  plays 
during  1939-41,  and  Lura  Abernathy 
Rader  provided  a  film  of  our  Senior 
May  Day  and  Graduation.  Tom  Latimer, 
putting  his  radio  personality  to  work, 
got  some  High  Point  Duke  grads  to- 
gether to  record  a  "bull  session"  of  un- 
dergraduate days  that  proved  very  in- 
teresting and  enlightening.  At  midnight 
another  repast  that  gave  everyone  sec- 
ond wind,  so  far,  far  into  the  night  went 
another  party. 

Late  Saturday  night  and  early  Sunday 
saw  most  of  us  heading  for  home.  But 
you  can  wager  that  most  of  those  who 
came  will  be  back  in  1957  along  with 
many  more  who  hear  about  the  week  end 
just  past. 

Orchids  to — 

All  of  us  who  were  here  certainly  owe 
a  "thank  you"  to  the  social  committee- 
men— Ed  Fike  and  John  Dozier;  to  the 
attendance  chairman  Andy  Ducker  and 
his  committee;  golf  chairman  and  host 
Bob  Pike;  Anne  Garrard  of  the  Alumni 
Office  for  much  hard  work  behind  the 
scenes;  and  Tom  Latimer,  entertainment 
committee  chairman. 

From  your  retiring  President  and  Re- 
union Chairman — it  was  a  real  pleasure 
and  genuine  source  of  satisfaction.  Be- 
sides, I  was  justly  rewarded  by  the 
young  lady  at  the  Registration  Desk  who, 
without  my  asking,  gave  me  a  ribbon  sav- 
ing: "'10  REUNION."

Spring — A  Victory  Season 

Coach  and  Two  Players  Win  Distinctions 


Duke  University's  spring  sports  teams 
had  their  best  records  in  years  this  sea- 
son, two  gaining  Southern  Conference 
championships,  another  gaining  runner- 
up  honors  for  regular  season  play,  a 
fourth  getting  third  place  honors  in  the 
league  meet  and  the  fifth  claiming  na- 
tional honors  in  its  field.  Basketball  and 
baseball  star  Dick  Groat  was  also  chosen 
the  Southern  Conference's  Athlete  of  the 
Tear. 

The  Blue  Devil  baseball  and  golf  teams 
won  the  conference  championships  in  a 
blaze  of  glory,  while  the  varsity  tennis 
team  was  runner-up  in  conference  dual 
meets.  The  track  team  finished  third  in 
the  annual  conference  meet  despite  the 
loss  of  its  top  star,  and  the  lacrosse  team 
finished  the  campaign  with  a  6-2  record, 
dropping  only  one-point  decisions  to  col- 
lege foes. 

Golf 

The  conference  championship  gained 
by  the  Duke  golf  team  was  the  13th 
claimed  by  Duke  in  16  years.  Louis  Mc- 
Lennan, co-captain  of  the  Duke  team, 
won  the  individual  championship  over 
Wes  Brown  of  Washington  and  Lee,  with 
Mike  Souchak  and  Henry  Clark,  also  of 
Duke,  tying  for  third  place  in  the 
tourney. 

McLennan  shot  a  36-hole  total  of  147 
to  win  the  individual  title,  while  the  four- 
man  Duke  team  had  a  36-hole  score  of 
590,  with  North  Carolina  in  second  place 
with  a  score  of  623. 

The  Duke  golfers  finished  the  regular 


Bill  Werber  .  .  .  '"Most  Valuable" 


Jack  Coojibs  .  .  .  "Coach  of  Year 


season  with  a  14-1  record,  defeating 
Georgia  Tech,  Georgia,  Clemson,  David- 
son (twice),  Williams,  N.  C.  State,  Mich- 
igan, William  and  Mary,  Richmond, 
Maryland,  George  Washington,  Wake 
Forest  and  North  Carolina.  The  only 
loss  came  at  the  hands  of  North  Carolina 
in  a  return  match. 

Baseball 

The  Duke  baseball  team,  under  Coach 
Jack  Coombs  for  the  23rd  year,  copped 
the  Southern  Conference  championship 
with  an  11-0  win  over  Maryland  and  a  5-0 
win  over  Clemson  in  the  league  tourney 
played  at  Greensboro.  Sophomore  right- 
hander Joe  Lewis  hurled  the  win  over 
Maryland  and  a  junior  righthander.  Bob 
"Dizzy"  Davis,  who  was  voted  the  tour- 
ney's outstanding  player,  pitched  the 
shutout  win  over   Clemson  in  the  finals. 

Duke's  diamondeers  finished  the  reg- 
ular season  in  second  place  in  the  South- 
ern Conference's  Southern  division.  The 
team  had  a  regular  season  record  of  16- 
7  and  tied  for  the  championship  in  the 
Big  Four  League.  Coach  Jack  Coombs 
and  first  baseman  Bill  Werber  were  se- 
lected the  outstanding  coach  and  most 
valuable  player,  respectively,  in  the  Big 
Four  League,  while  third  baseman  Tom 
Powers  won  the  loop  bat  championship 
with  a  sizzling  .417  average  and  Joe 
Lewis  won  the  pitching  title  with  a  4-2 
record.  Selected  to  the  All-Big  Four 
League  team  were  infielders  Bill  Werber, 
Bill  Bergeron  and  Dick  Groat,  utility  in- 
fiekler  Tom  Powers,  outfielder  Dick  John- 
son and  pitcher  Lewis. 

Second  baseman  Bill  Bergeron,  the 
Duke  acting  captain,  has  since  signed  a 
professional   contract   with   the   Philadel- 


phia Athletics  and  is  now  with  Fayette- 
ville  in  the  Carolina  League.  Several 
other  players,  with  college  eligibility  re- 
maining, are  being  scouted  closely  by  the 
major  league  agents. 

Lacrosse 

Duke's  lacrosse  team,  coached  by  W. 
S.  "Jack"  Persons,  swept  its  first  six 
wins  of  the  spring  season,  then  dropped 
an  11-10  decision  to  Virginia  and  a  10-7 
game  to  the  Mount  Washington  Athletic 
Club  of  Baltimore  in  its  last  outings. 
Most  cherished  win  of  the  season  was  a 
9-7  one  collected  over  four  times  national 
champion  Johns  Hopkins.  The  Duke 
team  defeated  Lehigh,  Williams,  Navy, 
Washington  and  Lee,  Washington  Col- 
lege and  Hopkins. 

Duke  lacrosse  players  named  to  play 
for  the  South  team  in  the  annual  North- 
South  game  at  Troy,  N.  V.,  were  Rod 
Boyce,  Charles  Gilfillan,  Don  Clausen  and 
Fred  Eisenbrandt.  All  but  Eisenbrandt 
accepted  since  he  had  another  engage- 
ment— marriage — on  the  day  of  the  game. 

Tennis 

The  Duke  tennis  team  had  one  of  its 
best  regular  seasons  in  recent  years,  los- 
ing only  to  Rollins  and  North  Carolina 
and  beating  13  teams,  but  failed  to  ad- 
vance any  players  further  than  the  quar- 
ter-finals of  the  Southern  Conference 
tournament  played  at  Davidson  College. 
Outstanding  players  were  Captain  John 
Ross  and  Kes  Deimling,  Jack  Warmath, 
John  Tapley,  Norm  Schellenger,  Ronnie 
Simpson,  Frank  Carloss  and  Hal  Lipton. 
Tapley  was  undefeated  during  the  regu- 
lar season. 

The  Duke  varsity  tennis  team  defeated 
Michigan  State,  the  Jacksonville,  Fla., 
Naval  Station,  Florida  Southern,  Florida, 
Williams,  N.  C.  State,  Dartmouth,  Mich- 
igan, Davidson,  Presbyterian,  William

Summer  Session 
Second  Term  Events 

A  Science  Teachers  Laboratory  Con- 
ference, an  Institute  of  North  Carolina 
English  Teachers,  and  an  Institute  for 
Teachers  of  Mathematics  will  highlight 
the  second  session  of  the  Duke  Summer 
Session  which  opens  on  July  21  and  con- 
tinues to  August  31.  A  number  of  dis- 
tinguished visiting  professors  will  co- 
operate with  the  permanent  Duke  faculty 
in  presenting  this  second  half  of  the 
summer  program. 

The  Science  Teachers  Laboratory  Con- 
ference is  a  pioneering  project  in  the  field 
of  science  instruction  in  secondary  and 
elementary  schools.  The  first  in  an  an- 
nual series,  it  will  be  held  from  July  23 
to  July  27.  The  basic  purpose  of  the 
Conference,  which  will  cover  both  the 
biological  and  the  physical  sciences,  is  to 
acquaint  the  science  teacher  with  prac- 
tical and  useful  experiments  that  he  may 
perform  in  his  own  classroom,  and  to 
give  him  actual  training  in  the  techniques 
involved  in  the  setting  up  and  execution 
of  these  experiments. 

The  Institute  for  Teachers  of  Mathe- 
matics will  hold  its  eleventh  annual  ses- 
sion from  August  7  to  August  17.  With 
"Mathematics  at  Work"  as  its  theme,  it 
will  comprehend  the  fields  of  junior  and 
senior  high  school  through  sophomore 
work  in  college.  Lecturers  and  teachers 
of  recognized  ability  in  industrial  and 
scientific  research  and  in  classroom  tech- 
niques will  direct  the  program.  Ten  study 
groups  with  a  variety  of  topics  will  be 
arranged  under  their  leadership. 

Principal  meetings  of  the  ninth  an- 
nual Institute  of  North  Carolina  English 
Teachers  will  be  held  at  Duke  University 
August  2  to  4.  The  annual  luncheon  and 
afternoon  meeting  that  follows  will  be 
held  at  Chapel  Hill,  N.  C.  The  work  of 
the  Institute  will  be  conducted  as  round- 
table  conferences,  special  lectures,  stand- 
ing committee  reports  and  demonstra- 
tions. 

The  regular  course '  work  of  Summer 
Session  will  follow  the  same  pattern  dur- 
ing the  second  session  as  in  the  first. 
Both  undergraduate  and  graduate  studies 
and  post-doctoral  research  are  offered, 
in  addition  to  special  conferences,  and 
the  resources  of  the  University  will  be 
available  to  the  students  and  conferees. 

An  extensive  program  of  social  and 
recreational  activities  have  been  planned 
for  summer  students.  Dances  and  con- 
certs, and  all  forms  of  summer  sports 
are  quite  popular  and  well  attended. 


Dr.  James  Cannon  III,    '14   (left),  with  President  Eclens  and  Bishop  Paul 
N.  Garber  of  Richmond,  Va.  (right). 

Dean  Cannon  Is  Formally  Installed 


At  mid-morning  on  Friday,  May  18, 
an  assemblage  of  administrators,  faculty, 
students  and  alumni  gathered  in  York 
Chapel  to  install  the  new  Dean  of  the 
Divinity  School,  James  Cannon  III,  '14. 
The  ceremony  was  inelaborate  but  for- 
mal, providing  a  framework  within  which 
an  appropriate  invocation  of  divine  guid- 
ance and  blessing  might  be  made  in  keep- 
ing with  the  weight  and  seriousness  of 
the  responsibilities  which  the  executive 
officer  of  the   School  undertakes. 

Dean  Cannon  is  the  seventh  to  serve 
in  this  capacity  since  the  Divinity  School 
opened  in  1926 ;  he  was  a  member  of  the 
original  faculty  of  five,  and  the  four  men 
who  had  shared  that  distinction  with  him, 
Dr.  Edmund  D.  Soper,  Dr.  Elbert  Rus- 
sell, Bishop  Paul  N.  Garber  and  Dr. 
Harvie  Branscomb,  had  likewise  held  the 
deanship.  His  two  other  predecessors 
were  the  late  Dr.  Paul  E.  Root  and  Dr. 
Harold  A.  Bosley,  who  resigned  last  Sep- 
tember. 

President  Hollis  Edens  formally  in- 
stalled Dr.  Cannon  by  delivering  the  offi- 
cial commission.  There  followed  the 
prayer  of  installation,  intoned  by  Bishop 
Garber. 

After  special  greetings  to  Dean  Can- 
non from  the  Church,  represented  by 
Bishop  Garber;  from  the  alumni,  repre- 
sented by  Dr.  Edgar  H.  Nease,  '31,  dis- 
trict superintendent  of  the  Charlotte  Dis- 
trict, Methodist  Church;  from  Dr.  H.  E. 
Spence  for  the  Divinity  School  faculty 
and  from  George  G.  Henley,  of  King 
George,  Va.,  speaking  for  the  students, 
the  new  dean  responded  briefly. 


President  Edens,  in  delivering  the  com- 
mission, acknowledged  that  Duke  Univer- 
sity has  been  fortunate  in  securing  as  its 
leaders  men  and  women  "who  have  loved 
the  University  long  and  served  it  well. 
You,  Dr.  Cannon,  have  earned  your  place 
on  such  a  list.  .  .  .  Your  appointment 
will  prove  to  be  a  wise  one." 

Bishop  Garber,  in  his  greetings,  de- 
clared that  the  Church  is  vitally  inter- 
ested in  Duke  Divinity  School. 

"Dean  Cannon  enters  his  office  with 
the  fuU  support  of  the  Church,"  he  said. 
He  add^d  that  Trinity  College  and  Duke 
have  long  championed  academic  freedom, 
high  academic  standards  and  have  re- 
fused "to  champion  the  lesser  loyalties 
of  life." 

Dr.  Cannon,  who  has  been  Ivey  Pro- 
fessor of  History  of  Religion  and  Mis- 
sions since  1926,  is  the  son  of  the  late 
Bishop  James  Cannon.  He  became  act- 
ing dean  last  fall  after  the  resignation 
of  Dr.  Boslev. 


1951  Convocation 

The  failure  to  separate  church  and 
state  in  Continental  Europe  has  resulted 
in  the  virtual  emasculation  of  the  Chris- 
tian faith,  in  nations  both  before  and  be- 
hind the  iron  curtain.  Bishop  Paul  N. 
Garber  told  a  congregation  of  Southern 
ministers  in  a  lecture  during  the  second 
annual  Convocation  and  Pastors'  School 
on  the  West  Campus  from  June  5th  to 
8th.

Victory  Season 

(Continued  from  Page  156) 

and  Mary,  Navy  and  Virginia,  The  win 
over  Virginia  snapped  a  20-game  win 
streak  for  the  Cavaliers. 

Track 

The  Duke  track  team  started  with  a 
bang,  but  slowed  down  at  season's  end, 
mainly  because  of  the  loss  of  its  star 
point-getter,  tiny  Henry  Poss  of  Chat- 
tanooga, Tenn.,  who  pulled  a  leg  muscle. 
The  Duke  eindermen  finished  third  in 
the  annual  Southern  Conference  meet  be- 
hind Maryland  and  North  Carolina,  re- 
spectively. 

Grabbing  Conference  individual  cham- 
pionships were  220-yard  ace  Herbert 
"Piney"  Field,  hurdler  Tommy  Reeves 
and  pole  vaulter  John  Conner.  It  was 
the  second  Conference  championship  of 
the  season  for  Conner,  also  a  champ  in 
the  diving  event  during  the  swimming 
season.  Field  captured  the  220-yard  dash 
in  a  time  of  21.9  seconds,  while  Reeves 
ran  the  220-yard  low  hurdles  in  24  sec- 
onds flat  and  Conner  pole-vaulted  12 
feet,  his  lowest  height  of  the  season. 

The  Duke  tracksters  finished  the  reg- 
ular season  with  a  3-2-1  record. 

Convocation 

(Continued  from  Page  157  ) 

The  Methodist  bishcp  of  the  Richmond 
and  Geneva  areas  gave  example  after 
example  showing  that,  in  Sweden  as  well 
as  in  Russia,  in  Yugoslavia  and  Switzer- 
land, when  church  membership  is  on  a 
level  with  citizenship,  religion  loses  its 
moral  vigor  and  its  compelling  force  in 
men's  lives. 

Bishop  Garber's  ringing  defense  of  a 
free  church  came  near  the  close  of  a 
four-day  interdenominational  program, 
attended  by  several  hundred  ministers, 
which    included    workshop    sessions,    re- 


fresher courses  and  public  addresses  by 
well-known  religious  leaders. 

Highlighting  the  Convocation  was  the 
second  series  of  James  A.  Gray  Lectures 
delivered  by  Dr.  Paul  E.  Scherer  of 
Union  Theological  Seminary,  New  York 
City.  The  public  attended  the  series, 
which  was  on  the  general  subject  of  "The 
Ways  of  God — A  Study  in  the  Book  of 
Job'.". 

Bishop  Garber's  talk  was  based  on  his 
experiences  during  the  past  six  years  in 
Europe,  where  he  made  a  grass  roots 
study  of  the  common  religious  life.  The 
title  of  his  address  was  "Religion  in 
Europe  As  I  Have  Seen  It."  Bishop 
Costen  J.  Harrell,  of  the  Methodist 
Church,  Charlotte  area,  spoke  at  the 
morning  devotional  services. 

Distinguished  religious  leaders  and 
members  of  the  Duke  Divinity  School 
faculty  served  as  instructors  for  the 
workshops  and  refresher  courses. 

A  workshop  on  "The  Minister  and 
Public  Relations"  was  conducted  by 
James  Sells,  executive  secretary  of  radio 
and  visual  aids,  Southeastern  Methodist 
Jurisdiction.  Guest  speakers  for  the 
workshop  were  E.  B.  Garrett  of  the  Soil 
Conservation  Service,  Raleigh;  Charles 
A.  Dukes,  Director  of  Alumni  Affairs 
at  Duke;  and  Earl  W.  Porter  of  the 
Duke  Bureau  of  Public  Information. 

Dr.  John  J.  Rudin  II,  of  the  Duke 
Divinity  School  faculty,  led  a  "Worship 
Workshop"  with  emphasis  on  effective 
leadership  by  the  preacher  in  public  wor- 
ship services.  Recordings  were  used  to 
demonstrate  effective  religious  services, 
and  visiting  ministers  discussed  their 
own  specific  problems. 

A  workshop  on  "Planning  a  Church 
Program"  was  under  the  direction  of  Dr. 
A.  J.  Walton,  of  the  Duke  faculty.  The 
sessions  dealt  with  evangelical,  educa- 
tional and  recreational  church  activities 
and  related  topics. 

In  a  "Vacation  Church  School"  work- 
shop the  program  included  demonstra- 
tions of  children's  religious  projects  and 
discussion  of  church  school  activities. 
Mrs.  Edith  W.  Reed,  director  of  chil- 
dren's work  for  the  Western  North  Caro- 
lina Methodist  Conference,  was  in  charge 
of  the  workshop. 

Convocation  lecture  courses  were  "The 
New  Testament  Faith  and  the  Mind  of 
the  Church  Today,"  taught  by  Dr.  Rob- 
ert E.  Cushman  of  the  Duke  Divinity 
School;  "Christianity  and  World  Mis- 
sions," taught  by  Dr.  Daniel  J.  Fleming 
of  Union  Theological  Seminary;  and 
"The  Minister's  Tools  and  Techniques," 
instructed  by  Dr.  Nolan  B.  Harmon, 
Methodist  book  editor.

Letters 

(Continued  from  Page  137) 
Five  months  ago  I  was  transferred  to 
San  Francisco  and  now  share  a  very  Bo- 
hemian sort  of  shack  on  Telegraph  Hill 
with  two  other  stewardesses.  There  we 
have  a  perfect  view  of  Berkeley,  the 
Bay  Bridge,  Treasure  Island  and  even 
Alcatraz. 

In  April  I  started  a  most  wonderful 
35-day  vacation.  After  three  days  in 
Miami,  an  ex-roommate  of  mine  from 
Seattle,  who  is  now  flying  the  South 
American  route  for  P.  A.  A.,  and  I  left 
on  a  round-the-world  trip.  We  went  first 
to  New  York  via  San  Juan,  P.  R.  and 
thence  to  Frankfurt,  Amsterdam,  London, 
Paris,  Zermatt  (to  ski),  Milan,  Rome, 
Istanbul,  Beirut,  Cairo,  New  Delhi,  Agra, 
and  Bangkok.  Returning  thence  but  not 
stopping  in  Hong  Kong,  Tokyo,  Wake 
and  Honolulu — since  those  spots,  as  well 
as  Guam,  Manila  and  Singapore,  are 
now  on  my  regular  flights.  At  present 
I'm  on  my  way  to  the  South  Pacific.  It 
is  an  18-day  trip.  Although  we  transit 
Canton  Island  we  stop  at  Fiji,  Sydney 
and  Auckland.  I'm  most  pleased  for  I 
have  not  seen  these  places  before. 

As  well  as  flying  the  regular  passenger 
flights  we  have  been  flying  Army  charter 
trips  as  far  as  Tokyo — taking  Army, 
Navy,  Marines  and  Air  Force  replace- 
ments over  and  bringing  back  the 
wounded,  the  widows,  the  boys  on  emer- 
gency leaves,  and  the  high  brass  for  con- 
ference in  Washington.  All  of  which  con- 
vinces us  that  this  war  is  a  very  real 
thing  even  though  it  has  never  been 
declared. 

Among  the  Duke  people  I've  seen  late- 
lv  are  Pattie  McGowan  Black  (Mrs.  Stan- 
ley P.),  '46,  her  husband  Pat,  and  cute 
young  son  David,  with  whom  I  spent 
yesterdav  here  in  Honolulu. 

A  week  ago  while  I  was  visiting  my 
s:ster  Ebie,  her  three-year-old  Ginny, 
three-month-old  Jimmy,  and  her  "back 
in  the  Marine  Corps  pilot"  husband  in 
Laguna  Beach,  Calif.,  I  saw  Babbie  Mill 
Kesterman  (Mrs.  Adrian  L.),  '46,  and 
her  husband  who  has  also  been  called 
back  in  the  Marine  Corps.  Her  two  sons, 
Jeff  and  Tim  (2%  months),  are  mighty 
cute. 

In  Miami  I  saw  Johanna  Weiland 
Hoehl  (Mrs.  John  R.),  '46,  Pat  Reed 
Heath.  '42,  and  her  husband  Byard — 
home  on  vacation  also — all  looking  swell. 
In  San  Francisco  I  call  or  see  Arleen 
Palmer,  '48,  quite  often  and  hope  to  see 
Pat  Way  Anderson  (Mrs.  Donald  A.), 
'48,  soon.  Did  I  miss  anybody???  Oh, 
rid  run  into  a   P.   A.   A.   pilot  out  here 


from  Miami — can't  remember  the  name 
but  you  told  him  I  was  here. 

Gad,  how  did  I  get  so  wound  up — and 
I  haven't  even  told  you  about  my  main 
point  of  interest — that  guy  who  sold  me 
the  sail  boat  in  Seattle — frankly  I  think 
he  just  wants  the  boat  (or  at  least  my 
quarter)  back — but  he's  going  to  have 
to  support  me  for  the  rest  of  my  life  to 
get  it.  We've  been  engaged  since  the 
end  of  March  and  have  set  our  wedding- 
date  for  August  18th.  The  wedding  is 
going  to  be  just  outside  San  Francisco 
in  San  Mateo  with  a  reception  at  my 
Aunt  and  Uncle's  home  in  San  Mateo — 
the  folks  are  coming  out  and  Ebie  and 
Jack  will  be  up. 

Hunter,  too,  is  back  in  the  Marine 
Corps  but,  fortunately  for  us,  stationed 
with  the  machine  accounting  group  right 
here  in  San  Francisco. 

I  could  rave  on  for  pages  but  instead 
will  just  tell  you  he's  a  Phi  Delt  from 
University  of  Washington  and  bring  him 
by  some  day  to  see  you  so  you  can  judge 
for  yourself.

Mouana  Hotel,  Waikiki  Beach,  Honolulu, 
Territory  of  Hawaii.)

OUR  easy-going,  big-billed  friend  lias  learned  to  say  "No"  to  these 
hurry-up,  one-puff,  one-sniff  cigarette  tests!  "Why",  says  he,  "they 
don't  even  give  you  time  to  finish  the  cigarette  before  you're  supposed 
to  decide  which  is  mildest!"  Millions  of  smokers  have  come  to  the  same 
conclusion— there's  just  one  real  way  to  test  the  flavor  and  mildness 
of  a  cigarette. 

It's  The  Sensible  Test . . .  the  30-Day  Camel  Mildness  Test,  which 
simply  asks  you  to  try  Camels  as  a  steady  smoke— on  a  pack-after-pack, 
day-after-day  basis.  No  snap  judgments  needed !  After  you've 
enjoyed  Camels— and  only  Camels— for  30  days  in  your  "T-Zone" 
(T  for  Throat,  T  for  Taste) ,  we  believe  you'll  know  why  . . . 

More  People  Smoke  Camels 

than  any  other  cigarette!

First  off  I  would  like  to  tell  you  how  much  I  have  enjoyed  reading 
the  Alumni  News  when  I  have  been  home  on  leave.  It  helps  to  form 
a  contact  between  my  college  days  and  the  new  life  I  am  leading  serv- 
ing our  nation.  I  feel  sure  the  Register  helps  other  members  of  the 
armed  forces  keep  up  this  contact. 

My  main  reason  for  writing  is  to  inquire  whether  or  not  it  is 
possible  for  me  to  purchase  a  class  ring.  I  graduated  in  the  Class  of 
1950  and  at  the  time  did  not  want  a  class  ring.  However,  having  been 
"out  in  the  world"  so  so  speak,  I  see  that  this  emblem  of  recognition 
is  invaluable  and  I  would  like  if  possible  to  acquire  a  class  ring. 
Please  send  me  any  information  you  can  regarding  price,  delivery, 
etc.,  if  the  ring  can  be  obtained. 

Rings  are  available,  and  further  information  about  them  may  be 
secured  by  writing  the  Duke  University  Stores,  Duke  University,:

Can't  you  take  off  awhile  this  summer  and  come  up  to  nature's 
wonderland?  You  would  love  the  wild  flowers  and  snow-capped  moun- 
tains. The  sun  is  now  rising  a  little  after  3  a.m.  Yesterday  it  rose  at 
3  :15  a.m.  and  set  at  8 :32  p.m.  Last  night  at  11 :00  p.m.  it  was  like 
a  twilight  there.  It  seems  odd  when  only  a  short  while  ago  it  was 
dark  for  so  many  hours  of  the  day.  I've  never  appreciated  the  sun' 
so  much  in  all  my  life  as  after  this  dark  winter.  The  trees  are  just 
beginning  to  show  tiny  buds  and  they  likewise  are  a  welcome  sight. 
Yesterday  I  saw  my  first  robin  of  the  year.  The  temperature  is  rising 
to  around  50°  in  day  time  and  dropping  back  to  around  30°  at  night. 
There  is  so  much  natural  beauty  here — but  much  that  white  man  has 
brought  is  ugliness. 

Our  kindest  regards  to  everyone.  Wish  we  could  be  there  for  the 
'36  reunion — but  'tis  quite  impossible. 

THIS  MONTH'S  COVER  , 

One  of  the  most  spectacular  traditions  followed  during  the  celebra- 
tion of  Saint  John's  Eve  on  June  24,  the  shortest  night  and  longest 
day  of  the  year,  is  the  ritual  of  men  jumping  over  a  fire  to  prove  their 
strength  and  prowess.  For  the  past  ten  years,  the  Duke  School  of; 
Spanish  Studies  has  been  recognizing  this  holiday,  which  has  both. 
Catholic  and  pagan  origins,  on  Friday  nearest  June  24.  Jumping  over 
the  fire  are,  left  to  right,  George  J.  Kintz,  Duke  senior;  Professor  Jose 
Amor  y  Vaz  Quez,  visiting  instructor  from  Brown  University;  and 
Elias  Torre,  Jr.,  Spanish  student.

Football  Tickets 

The  sale  of  season  tickets  has  progressed  beyond  all 
expectations  and  it  looks  like  alumni  who  haven't  ordered 
season  tickets  and  are  planning  to  do  so  had  better  get 
their  orders  in  immediately. 

The  latest  ticket  order  to  arrive  came  from  Jack 
Priddy,  '42,  in  Surry,  England.  He  ordered  two  season 
tickets  for  the  fall  of  1951.  Perhaps  this  is  the  best  way 
of  saying  to  the  alumni  close  by  that  it  would  be  a  good 
thing  to  get  in  your  orders  immediately.  This  applies  not 
only  to  the  season  tickets  but  to  those  for  individual 
games  as  well. 


Development  Campaign 

We  have  passed  the  $7,500,000  mark.  We  begin  now 
on  the  last  million  needed  to  reach  our  immediate  goal. 
We  hope  to  complete  this  by  December  31.  If  we  do  so, 
it  is  going  to  take  the  combined  efforts  of  every  former 
student  and  friend  of  the  University. 

We  are  going  to  have  to  continue  the  personal  con- 
tact so  that  every  one  who  is  the  least  bit  interested  in 
Duke  can  know  the  entire  story  and  be  given  an  oppor- 
tunity to  participate  in  the  program.  We  were  unable 
to  get  in  touch  personally  with  all  alumni  by  the  close  of 
our  fiscal  year,  June  30.  Alumni  and  friends  who  have 
not  been  told  the  story  will  be  contacted  during  the 
coming  months — between  now  and  the  end  of  the  year. 

Therefore,  if  you  are  helping  with  the  Development 
Campaign,  please  continue  the  work  you  have  begun,  for 
each  interested  person  must  do  everything  he  can  to  pro- 
mote the  program  during  the  summer  months.  Perhaps 
summer  is  a  bad  time  for  such  campaigns,  but  there  is 
no  good  time,  and  the  great  need  of  the  institution  makes 
any  time  a  good  time. 


or  two  and  see  the  Blue  Devils  in  action  when  they  play 
in  Pittsburgh.  Because  the  Blue  Devils  are  playing  in  a 
number  of  distant  points  from  the  campus,  it  is  going 
to  make  the  games  especially  accessible  for  alumni. 


Just  Rambling 


May  we  remind  you  that  the  Duke  Blue  Devils  are 
going  to  be  a  "traveling  team"  this  year.  Get  out  your 
schedule  and  begin  to  make  plans  now  to  see  them  in  ac- 
tion, not  only  at  Duke  but  when  they  appear  in  yoiir 
vicinity.  A  number  of  the  local  associations,  one  of  which 
is  Norfolk,  Va.,  are  planning  to  play  hosts  to  all  alumni 
attending  the  game  to  be  played  in  their  respective  com- 
munities. 

We  are  going  to  run  a  schedule  of  these  dinners,  open 
houses,  etc.,  for  your  convenience.  If  you  would  like  to 
attend  one  or  more  of  them,  as  soon  as  the  announcement 
appears  in  the  Register,  please  send  your  reservation 
with  a  check  to  the  proper  person. 

A  few  days  ago  we  received  in  the  mail  a  request 
from  one  of  the  local  groups  for  football  tickets  for  the 
Pittsburgh  game.   This  group  is  planning  to  charter  a  bus 


Would  you  like  a  program  for  your  garden  club,  civic 
club,  or  some  other  organization  to  which  you  belong?  If 
so,  we  have  a  number  of  16  mm.  silent  films  that  we  be- 
lieve would  be  found  most  interesting. 

For  example,  we  have  a  color  film  of  the  Sarah  P. 
Duke  Memorial  Gardens,  giving  both  the  botanical  and 
common  names  of  most  of  the  varieties  of  plants.  This 
film,  which  runs  for  twenty  minutes,  was  listed  one  time 
as  a  suggested  program  for  the  organization  of  National 
Garden  Clubs. 

We  have  a  film  entitled,  "A  Year  at  Duke,"  which 
gives  the  activities  about  the  campus  and  shows  some  of 
the  buildings.  There  are  a  number  of  other  films  as  well, 
There  is  no  charge  for  their  use,  except  to  defray  the 
postage  when  returning  them  to  the  University. 

If  you  would  like  to  use  one  or  more  of  these  films  or 
would  like  to  see  a  list  of  those  available,  please  write 
the  Alumni  Office. 


During  the  past  twelve  months  a  number  of  alumni 
have  made  gifts  to  the  Duke  University  Library.  A  few 
of  them  are: 

The  Holton  family  (Miss  Grace  Holton,  Dr.  Quin- 
ton  Holton,  Mrs.  Holland  Holton  and  sons)  pre- 
sented the  Holton  family's  library,  including  Pro- 
fessor Holland  Holton 's  personal  correspondence. 
The  books  are  principally  education,  textbooks  and 
law  books. 

Mr.  J.  Braxton  Craven — 225  volumes  from  the 
theological  collection  of  his  father  and  grandfather. 
Mrs.  E.  S.  Bowling — 122  volumes  of  literary  and 
historical  interest  from  the  library  of  her  late  hus- 
band. 

Mr.  Watson  Smoot — a  collection  of  about  75  medi- 
cal and  theological  volumes  from  the  library  of 
his  father,  Dr.  J.  Edward  Smoot. 

If  you  know  of  persons  who  have  items  you  think 
should  be  included  in  the  Duke  University  Library  and 
whom  j'ou  could  interest  in  giving  these  items  as  a  gift 
to  the  Library,  we  suggest  you  write  to  Dr.  B.  E.  Powell, 
Librarian  of  the  Duke  University  Libraries,  Duke  Sta- 
tion, Durham,  N.  C. 

Perhaps  you  yourself  may  have  books  or  a  collection 
of  some  kind  that  you  would  like  to  give  to  the  Univer-

Powell. 

Each  day  we  find  that  our  alumni  and  friends  are 
taking  advantage  of  every  opportunity  to  serve  the  insti- 
tution. If  you  would  like  to  have  additional  channels 
through  which  to  express  your  interest  and  don't  know 
quite  how  to  proceed,  I  hope  you  will  write  to  the  Alumni

THE  SCHOOL  OF  MEDICINE 


Summer  at  Duke — As  Active  as  Ever 

Entering  Freshmen  and  Building  Projects  Are  Out  of  Routine 


Summer  arrives.  Students  who  have 
labored  through  the  winter  depart  for 
homes  or  jobs.  For  a  week  or  two  fol- 
lowing commencement  a  university  cam- 
pus has  the  appearance  of  a  deserted 
village,  tended  only  by  a  handful  of  care- 
takers and  office  workers. 

This  lull,  however,  doesn't  last  long.  At 
least  not  at  Duke.  Students  scatter. 
Faculty  members  scatter.  But  some  of 
each  return  when  the  Summer  Session 
begins;  and  the  places  of  those  who  have 
departed  for  longer  intervals  are  taken  by 
new  arrivals  from  other  colleges  and  uni- 
versities, from  high  schools,  from  foreign 
countries,  and  from  a  dozen  other  sources. 
These  new  arrivals  come  to  learn,  to 
teach,  to  do  research,  to  engage  in  all  of 
the  pursuits  that  characterize  the  Uni- 
versity during  the  fall,  winter,  and 
spring. 

There  is  no  off-season  at  Duke,  and 
those  who  are  inclined  to  envy  what  they 
consider  the  soft  summer  life  of  a  pro- 
fessor would  find  a  cherished  di'eam  shat- 
tered if  they  could  observe  the  intense 
hot  weather  activities  of  the  faculty.- 

A  large  number  of  Duke  teachers  have 
taken  temporary  quarters  at  other  uni- 
versities in  the  United  States  and  abroad. 
There  they  are  guest  lecturers,  research- 
ers, or,  in  several  instances,  students 
themselves.  Others  are  poking  about  in 
distant  libraries,  museums,  and  labora- 
tories— pushing  forward  projects  in  very 
many  diverse  fields. 

Special  Sessions 

Over  and  above  the  regular  classroom- 
lecture-laboratory  schedule  of  Summer 
Session  students,  there  are  the  special 
schools  and  institutes  which  have  become 
a  substantial  part  of  summer  activities 
and  through  which  Duke  is  giving  out- 
standing service  to  teachers  and  other 
professional  men  and  women. 

Oldest,  largest,  and  most  famous  of 
these  special  sessions  are  the  School  of 
Spanish  Studies,  underway  the  first 
semester,  and  the  Institute  for  Teachers 
of  Mathematics,  to  take  place  the  second 
semester.  The  first  of  these  popular  in- 
stitutions has  a  peculiar  effect  upon  the 
campus.  At  any  odd  moment  an  unsus- 
pecting stroller  may  happen  upon  a  lively 
group  of  gaily  clad  gypsies  yelping  hap- 
pily at  each  other  in  pure,  or  at  least 
quite  acceptable,  Spanish.  They  may 
dance,   sing,   or  begin   to  leap   over  the 


towering  flames  of  a  bonfire.  Duke's 
gothic  chambers  are  touched  with  Latin- 
American  magic  for  a  few  brief  weeks. 

The  Math  Institute  goes  about  its  busi- 
ness a  little  less  spectacularly,  but  highly 
effectively.  There  is  little  question  that 
the  Institute  is  doing  great  work  in  im- 
proving the  methods  and  results  of  the 
teaching  of  mathematics.  Dr.  W.  W. 
Eankin,  director  of  the  Institute,  this 
month  was  invited  to  U.C.L.A.  to  direct 
a  similar  undertaking  on  the  West  Coast, 
which  is  just  being  launched.  Meanwhile, 
four  other  math  institutes  patterned  after 
the  one  originated  at  Duke  are  being 
organized  across  the  United  States. 

Other  special  sessions,  of  greater  or 
lesser  age,  have  been  or  are  being  held 
for  nurses,  doctors,  hospital  technicians, 
ministers,  scientists,  and  numerous  other 
professional  groups. 

A  brand  new  undertaking  this  year — 
one  likely  to  become  greater  than  any 
of  the  others — is  the  Science  Teachers 
Laboratory  This  laboratory  will  at- 
tempt to  do  for  science  teachers  what 
the  Math  Institute  has  done  for  math 
teachers.  An  outstanding  staff,  a  care- 
fully planned  and  highly  selective  pro- 
gram, a  large  group  of  intensely  inter- 
ested teachers  will  combine  to  give  the 
Laboratory  a  send-off  that  should  estab- 
lish it  as  an  annual  affair. 

Freshmen  Enter 

Classroom  work  and  special  institutes 
are,  however,  the  more  or  less  normal  ele- 
ments of  a  Summer  Session  at  Duke. 
This  year  there  are  one  or  two  less  fa- 
miliar elements  of  summer  at  Duke. 

The  first  of  these  is  the  number  of  en- 
tering freshmen.  Last  winter,  when  the 
draft  began  to  harass  those  attending 
and  planning  to  attend  the  nation's  col- 
leges and  universities,  Duke  promptly  an- 
nounced that  it  would  encourage  high 
school  graduates  to  enter  in  the  summer 
in  order  to  push  forward  their  college 
work  as  much  as  possible  before  facing 
the  prospect  of  prolonged  armed  serv- 
ice. Special  arrangements  were  made  to 
receive  them  and  a  suitable  curriculum 
was  prepared. 

Despite  an  at  least  temporary  lessening 
of  draft  fears,  brought  about  bv  rumored 
peace  negotiations,  more  than  100  fresh- 
men enrolled  in  Trinity  College  and  sev- 
eral women,  following  the  example  of 
their  brothers,  entered  the  Woman's  Col- 
lege.   These  youngsters,  come  what  may 


from  their  draft  boards,  are  at  least  get- 
ting the  jumps  on  their  fellow  freshmen. 

New  Buildings  Arise 

Another  thing  that  the  campus  doesn't 
experience  just  any  summer  is  the  large 
scale  construction  now  taking  place. 

On  Hospital  Drive,  facing  east,  the  new 
nurses  home  is  rapidly  assuming  discern- 
ible architectural  proportions.  The  brick 
is  rising  on  all  four  sides  and  at  this 
moment  is  nearly  roof  high.  Inside  the 
first  of  the  walls  are  interposing  them- 
selves between  large  expanses  of  raw, 
empty  space.  Stairways  are  in,  floors 
are  laid,  and  in  a  surprisingly  short  time, 
it  can  be  assumed,  the  nurses  will  be 
inspecting  their  new  and  much-needed 
living  quarters  and  teaching  facilities. 

Directly  across  from  the  nurses'  home 
is  the  naked  steel  framework  of  the  new 
Graduate  Living  Center.  Already  the 
first  rows  of  brick,  visible  only  to  those 
who  take  the  trouble  to  peer  over  the 
high  construction  fence,  line  the  baseline 
of  the  structure.  Floors  are  being  ex- 
tended between  steel  beams  to  give  the 
building  a  more  substantial  appearance, 
and  an  engineer  with  a  good  imagination 
may  now  visualize  the  eventual  appear- 
ance of  the  finished  structure. 

Not  too  far  away  the  new  wing  of  the 
Medical  Research  Building  is  approach- 
ing completion  and  behind  the  Physics 
Building  an  annex  is  being  erected  to 
take  care  of  the  University's  new  nuclear 
reactor. 

But  the  most  recently  begun  construc- 
tion activity  is  taking  place  right  in  the

heart  of  West  Campus.  Directly  across 
from  the  Library  Building,  beside  the  So- 
cial Science  (old  Physics)  Building, 
there  is  already  a  strange  clearing. 
Where  a  forest  used  to  exist,  there  is  now 
a  level  field. 

This  is  where  the  ground  is  being  pre- 
pared for  the  realization  of  an  old  dream, 
a  new  Administration  and  Classroom 
Building.  Plans  call  for  the  erection  of 
a  gothic  building  that  was  designed  some 
25  years  ago  to  All  the  vacant  corner 
of  the  intersection  of  the  two  main  quad- 
rangles. While  the  University  settled 
back  to  await  the  time  when  this  building 
would  actually  exist,  the  administrative 
offices,  for  25  years,  were  located  in  "tem- 
porary" quarters.  These  quarters  have 
long  since  become  irremedially  inade-

German  University  Has 
Offered  Scholarships 

A  "thank-you"  scholarship  has  been  of- 
fered by  the  University  of  Marburg  in 
Germany  to  any  Duke  University  student 
who  wants  to  study  there. 

Two  German  students  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  Marburg,  Erwin  Merkel  and 
Guenther  Bicknese,  who  studied  at  Duke 
last  fall  under  the  German  Training  Pro- 
gram, were  so  impressed  by  Duke  and 
American  college  life  that  they  became 
more  interested  in  the  idea  of  exchange 
students  and  promoted  the  idea  of  the 
scholarship. 

The  University  of  Marburg  is  famous 
for  its  Summer  School,  but  any  season 
is  reported  to  be  pleasant  at  the  Univer- 
sity with  its  beautiful  old  buildings  and 


Carved  Crown  Is  Friendship  Symbol 


Visitors  to  the  Rare  Book  Room  of 
the  Duke  University  Library  will  find 
among  the  many  interesting  objects 
placed  on  display  there  a  wood  carv- 
ing of  a  crown  from  historic  Durham 
castle  in  England. 

This  spring  Vice-Chancellor  Sir 
James  Duff  (center)  of  England's 
University  of  Durham,  presented  Duke 
University  officials  with  the  carving 
in  a  special  international  good  will 
ceremony  in  the  Rare  Book  Room. 

Dr.  Paul  M.  Gross  (right),  vice- 
president  of  Duke  in  the  Educational 
Division,  received  the  gift  for  the 
University.  Former  Mayor  Dan  K. 
Edwards,  '35  (left),  represented  the 
City  of  Durham  at  the  ceremony 
which  took  place  shortly  before  he 
assumed  the  position  of  assistant  see- 


retarv  of  defense  in  Washington, 
D.  C. 

Other  Duke  officials  taking  part 
were  Dr.  Charles  E.  Jordan,  vice-presi- 
dent in  the  Division  of  Public  Rela- 
tions; Dr.  Herbert  J.  Herring,  vice- 
president  in  the  Division  of  Student 
Life;  A.  S.  Brower,  business  manager 
and  comptroller;  Dr.  Alan  K.  Man- 
chester, dean  of  undergraduate  stud- 
ies; and  Dr.  Benjamin  Powell,  Duke 
University  librarian. 

Vice-Chancellor  Duff  made  his  visit 
to  the  United  Str.-tes  in  connection 
with  his  duties  as  a  member  of  the 
British  Commonwealth  Fund  Com- 
mittee of  Award.  Established  in  1925, 
the  fund  provides  international  edu- 
cation and  travel  opportunities  for 
outstanding  young  men  and  women.

by  Gunther  Strahl,  official  of  the  town 
and  one  of  a  new  group  of  German  stu 
dents  in  the  training  program  in  behal 
of  the  town  of  Marburg.  The  Germai 
students  also  wished  to  express  the! 
thanks  for  the  contribution  of  severa 
hundred  dollars  to  Marburg  Universit; 
for  the  improvement  of  student  aceom

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  July,   1951 


Seniors  Find  Opportunities  Are  Ample 

Appointments  Office  Reports  Great  Increase  in  Openings  for  Graduates 


The  Appointments  Office,  which  serves 
is  a  free  employment  service  for  students 
ind  alumni,  reports  that  probably  100 
jercent  of  this  year's  graduates,  both 
nen  and  women,  have  succeeded  in  find- 
ng  jobs.  Most  of  the  seniors  were  regi- 
stered with  the  office. 

Outstanding  facts  from  the  report  are 
hat  this  year  there  were  4,471  job  open- 
ngs  available  for  consideration  by  the 
he  691  graduating  seniors;  that  the  larg- 
■st  number  of  openings  were  in  engineer- 
ng,  sales  and  accounting,  with  chemistry 
md  physics  ranking  next;  and  that  there 
s  a  developing  tendency  for  employers 
n  commerce  and  industry  to  rate  appli- 
lants  primarily  on  their  ability  to  get 
ilong  with  people,  grades  being  of  sec- 
mdary  significance.  This  development 
loes  not  hold  in  professional  and  research 
ields,  however;  in  these  areas  the  ap- 
)licant's  academic  record  is  scrutinized 
rith  care. 

In  general,  the  employment  situation  is 
asier  now  than  it  was  last. year,  when 
here  was  a  slight  falling  off  from  the 
>ost-war  level.  Judging  from  the  number 
if  employment  opportunities,  the  number 
'f  visits  to  Duke  by  employers'  repre- 
entatives  to  interview  students,  the  level 
•f  starting  salaries  and  similiar  indicia 
he  1950  loss  has  been  more  than  erased. 

industry  and  Government 

Employment  in  industrial  and  eom- 
lercial  establishments  which  accounts  for 
6%  of  the  activity  of  the  Appoint- 
lents  Office,  has  been  largely  with  big 
orporations.  As  may  be  expected,  gov- 
rnment  has  entered  the  field  as  an  em- 
iloyer  on  a  large  scale.  The  compara- 
ively  insignificant  number  of  smaller 
usinesses  that  have  engaged  personnel 
lirough  the  Appointments  Office  may  be 
|ue  to  the  fact,  among  others,  that  such 
stablishments  find  that  the  expense  of 
[jading  representatives  to  universities  to 
iterview  prospective  employees  out- 
weighs the  advantages  of  such  means 
ar  filling  their  personnel  needs  as 
gainst  depending  on  the  usual  local 
aurces. 

Most  calls  in  the  commercial-industrial 
racket   still   come  from   the   North   and 

ortheast,  but  the  increasing  industrial- 
ation  of  the  South  is  reflected  in  a 
Ittesponding  increase  in  the  number  of 
»uke  graduates  who  find  permanent  busi- 
ess  and  professional  careers  in  this  see- 
on  of  the  countrv. 


A  total  of  184  companies  sent  repre- 
sentatives to  the  Appointments  Office  in 
quest  of  new  personnel;  of  these,  19 
made  two  or  more  visits.  They  announced 
themselves  as  being  on  the  market  for 
additions  to  their  staffs  in  the  following 
categories  and  in  the  following  numbers: 
engineers,  747  (including  a  round  700 
sought  by  DuPont;  sales  persons,  242; 
chemists,  145;  accountants,  84  (several 
were  accepted  by  Price,  Waterhouse  in 
New  York);  merchandisers,  89;  physi- 
cists, 83;  insurance  men,  41;  bank  em- 
ployees, 16;  personnel  for  training  in 
sales,  management,  purchasing  and  simi- 
lar positions,  81.  Vacancies  disclosed  by 
these  representatives  added  up  to  1,528. 
By  letter  and  phone  the  office  was  ap- 
prised of  openings  for  1,474  engineers, 
113  salesmen,  93  accountants  and  1,263 
others.  Engineering  opportunities  ac- 
count for  nearly  half  of  the  total,  or 
2,241  out  of  4,471  openings  in  all  fields. 

Four  fifths  of  the  requests  for  teachers 
originate  on  the  college  level,  with  calls 
for  teachers  of  education  and  English 
predominating.  All  sections  of  the  coun- 
try send  to  Duke  for  college  faculty  per- 
sonnel. In  the  secondary  and  elementary 
school  brackets  the  largest  number  of 
openings  have  been  for  coaches,  adminis- 
trators and  teachers  of  English,  the  calls 
coming  mainly  from  the  South.  The  59 
graduates  and  others  so  far  registered 
for  jobs  in  the  teaching  profession  had 
333  placement  opportunities  to  choose 
from,  with  the  most  active  quarter  of  the 
year,  in  which  the  foregoing  figures  will 
be  trebled  or  quadrupled,  falling  within 
the  current  months  of  summer.  This  does 
not  indicate  that  such  a  ratio  exists  be- 
tween the  number  of  would-be  teachers 
and  existing  openings;  presumably  insti- 
tutions needing'  teachers  list  their  require- 
ments with  every  major  university  hav- 
ing a  school  of  education,  as  each  Spring- 
large  corporations  canvass  the  leading 
colleges  for  outstanding  seniors. 

Worthy  of  note  is  the  fact  that  the 
calls  for  teachers  include  110  openings 
for  teachers  on  the  primary,  secondary 
and  high  school  levels  in  foreign  coun- 
tries. A  majority  of  the  openings  exist 
in  schools  in  the  Latin-American  repub- 
lics; a  number  of  calls  came  also  from 
Middle-Eastern  countries  such  as  Turkey 
and  Greece.  Anchorage,  Alaska,  requires 
many  teachers;  calls  have  come,  through 
various  public     and  private  agencies,  for 


teachers  in  Japan,  Germany,  Australia, 
the  Philippines,  Egypt  and  other  coun- 
tries. The  requirements  set  forth  for 
these  positions  tend  to  be  rather  high, 
usually  demanding  two  years  of  experi- 
ence, and  often  a  master's  degree.  The 
result  is  that  often  by  the  time  a  poten- 
tial applicant  has  the  necessary  require- 
ments he  is  sufficiently  well  settled  that 
he  is  reluctant  to  make  so  drastic  a 
change. 

Women  Must  Type 

With  regard  to  women  a  peculiarity  of 
the  employment  situation  is  that  most 
employers  require  a  knowledge  of  typing 
and  shorthand,  or  at  least  typing,  even 
of  applicants  for  jobs  in  personnel  work, 
banks,  insurance,  business  administration 
and  government,  where  stenography  is 
not  ordinarily  considered  as  a  phase  of 
the  work.  Typing  is  of  course  an  under- 
standable requirement  in  publicity,  public 
relations,  advertising  and  journalism,  in 
which  fields  there  have  been  many  calls 
for  women. 

The  job  outlook  in  general,  as  it  ap- 
pears to  the  college  graduate,  is  well 
summed  up  in  a  letter  for  college  news- 
papers, for  release  on  June  1,  issued  by 
Maurice  J.  Tobin,  Secretary  of  the  U.  S. 
Department  of  Labor.  Characterizing  the 
prospects  as  "excellent,"  the  letter  con- 
tinues: "Both  rising  civilian  demand  and 
the  needs  of  the  defense  program  have 
created  a  generally  tight  labor  market, 
with  acute  shortages  of  workers  in  some 
occupations  and  local  areas.  In  occupa- 
tion after  occupation  the  demand  for 
workers  has  risen  rapidly  since  June 
1950.  The  total  number  of  employes  in 
nonagricultural  establishments  increased 
by  2  million  between  June  1950  and

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  July,   1951 


Predictions  for  '51  Are  Scarce 

No  One  Knows  Blue  Devil  Strength — But 
Thrills  Are  Expected 


Captain  of  Duke's  1951  Football 
Team,  James  Gibson 

From  Duke  to  State 

Horace  (Horse)  Hendrickson,  '34, 
frosh  football,  baseball,  and  basketball 
coach  at  Duke  for  the  past  two  years,  is' 
taking  over  as  chief  scout  for  the  N.  C. 
State  College  football  team,  assistant 
varsity  coach,  and  head  coach  of  the 
junior   varsity   football   team   next   year. 

A  quarterback  on  the  first  Duke  team 
coached  by  Wallace  Wade  to  win  the 
Southern  Conference  championship,  in 
his  senior  year  he  also  won  varsity  mon- 
ograms in  baseball  and  basketball. 

Coaching  and  sports  work  have  kept 
Hendrickson  busy  since  his  college  days. 
He  remained  as  assistant  freshman  coaeh 
at  Duke  until  1937  when  he  went  to 
Elon  College  as  director  of  athletics  and 
football  coach.  His  Elon  teams  won  two 
North  Carolina  Conference  champion- 
ships in  football  and  three  in  baseball. 

He  joined  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania grid  staff  as  assistant  backfield 
coach  in  1942,  and  the  Brooklyn  Dodgers 
signed  him  as  backfield  coach  of  their 
grid  team  and  scout  in  the  baseball  set- 
up in  1948.  A  year  later,  Mr.  Hendrick- 
son returned  to  Duke  as  a  member  of 
the  athletic  system. 

With  Bill  Murray,  '31,  head  mentor  at 
Duke,  Tom  Rogers,  '35,  at  Wake  Forest, 
and  "Horse"  Hendrickson,  assistant  coach- 
ing at  State  College,  Duke  University  is 
well  represented  on  surrounding  football 
teams  for  the  coming  year.  Carolina, 
however,  has  not  yet  accepted  Duke 
coaching  talent. 


Football  Coach  William  D.  (Bill)  Mur- 
ray, '31,  "officially"  returned  to  Duke  and 
the  state  of  North  Carolina  in  mid-July 
and  after  helping  Mrs.  Murray  (Carolyn 
Kirby),  '32,  get  settled  in  their  home 
here,  he  started  looking  to  and  planning 
for  the  fall. 

As  he  returned,  the  athletic  office  re- 
ported a  brisk  sale  of  season  tickets 
(better  get  your  orders  in  for  both  sea- 
son tickets  and  individual  tickets  NOW) 
and  it  appears  that  there  is  great  interest 
in  Murray's  debut  as  boss  of  the  Blue 
Devils. 

Bill  himself  had  little  to  say.  "We 
may  surprise  some  of  our  opponents," 
he  said,  "and  I  hope  that  we  can  do  some 
scoring.  However,  I  am  afraid  that  our 
opponents  are  going  to  do  some  too.  I 
am  still  trying  to  familiarize  myself  with 
the  squad  which  can't  be  done  in  the  six 
weeks  we  had  this  spring." 

There  is  one  thing  certain.  His  selec- 
tion as  coach  has  met  with  approval 
from  all  sides.  He  was  certainly  the 
"people's  choice"  for  the  job.  Those  who 
know  him  best  predict  great  things  for 
him  for  he  is  generally  recognized  as 
having  a  keen  football  mind. 

The  alumni  must  give  him  time,  how- 
ever. Coming  here  "cold  turkey,"  he  has 
had  to  start  from  the  bottom  and  get 
acquainted  both  with  the  boys  and  with 
the  assistant  coaches,  but  he  has  gotten 
a  fine  start;  he  is  both  popular  with  and 
respected  by  the  "boys"  and  he'll  event- 
ually do  the  job. 

The  schedule  is  a  tough  one.  Opening 
with  strong  South  Carolina  at  Columbia, 
the   Blue    Devils   then    journey   to   Pitts- 


burgh to  meet  the  resurging  Panthers 
and  then  to  Knoxville  to  take  on  the 
No.  1  team  in  the  nation  (in  our  book), 
Tennessee.  If  he  can  get  a  couple  of 
wins  out  of  those  three,  he'll  have  done 
his  job  well  indeed. 

Coach  Murray  will  make  his  home 
debut  in  the  game  with  N.  C.  State  on 
October  13  which  will  be  followed  by  a 
game  with  Virginia  Tech  at  Norfolk  on 
October  22. 

The  Homecoming  Day  special  will  be 
served  up  on  October  27  with  Virginia 
here  and  it  is  expected  to  be  a  record- 
breaker  as  alumni  return  to  watch  Duke's 
first  alumnus  coach. 

Georgia  Tech  will  be  met  in  Atlanta 
on  November  3  and  then  Wake  Forest 
comes  here  for  the  Dad's  Day  game  on 
November  10.  This  will  be  followed  by 
a  game  with  William  and  Mary  at  Wil- 
liamsburg on  November  17  and  the  finale 
with  Carolina  here  on  November  24. 

Several  announcements  recently  indi- 
cate "terrific"  schedules  for  Duke  teams 
in  years  to  come.  Athletic  Director  Eddie 
Cameron  recently  announced  that  Navy 
would  come  to  Durham  on  November  8 
of  1952  and  that  S.M.U.  would  be  met 
in  Dallas,  Texas,  on  September  26. 

These  games  along  with  the  home-and- 
home  series  previously  announced  with 
Army  and  Purdue  starting  in  1953  show 
the  calibre  of  the  opposition  that  Duke 
will  play  in  years  to  come  and  the  fine 
attractions  that  will  be  brought  to  Duke 
stadium. 

Cameron  pointed  out  that  "fans  who 
buy  season  tickets  now  will  be  assured 
of  best  seats  in  future  years."

Faculty  and  Alumni  Writings 


Jconomic    Resources    and    Policies 
op  the  South 

by  Dr.  Calvin  B.  Hoover  and  Dr.  B.  V. 
Ratehford.     The  Macmillan  Co. 

Two  Duke  University  professors  of  eco- 
omics  have  written  a  report  based  on  a 
jree-year  study,  made  for  the  Committee 
£  the  South  of  the  National  Planning 
ssociation,  of  "alternative  economic  poli- 
ies  for  the  South."  Calvin  B.  Hoover 
nd  B.  U.  Ratehford,  the  former  serving 
s  research  director  of  the  Committee, 
ave  presented  in  their  Economic  Re- 
mrces  and  Policies  of  the  South  (The 
lacmillan  Co.,  New  York,  464  pp., 
5.50)  an  exhaustive  inventory  of  the 
jgion's  economic  resources  and  they 
oint  to  continued  industrialization  as 
le  logical  policy  for  the  section  to 
dIIow. 

The  study  acknowledges  that  the  in- 
ustrialization  policy  pursued  during  the 
ast  20  years  has  been  fruitful  in  nar- 
swing  the  gap  between  the  Southern  in- 
line level  and  that  of  other  sections,  but 
j  points  out  how  much  more  progress  is 
squired  before  the  Southern  economy  is

sample,  though  the  South  has  greatly 
icreased  its  expenditures  for  education

You  Can  Preach 

by  the  Reverend   G.  Ray  Jordan,  '17, 
D.D.  '35.     Fleming  B.  Revell  Co. 

The  philosophy  and  theology  of  preach- 
ing and  the  technique  of  building  a  ser- 
mon is  the  subject  of  a  new  book  by  Dr. 
G.  Ray  Jordan,  which  has  recently  been 
issued  under  the  imprimatur  of  Fleming 
H.  Revell  Co.  Dr.  Jordan  is  now  pro- 
fessor of  preaching  at  Emory  University. 

Dr.  Jordan's  volume  is  the  distillation 
of  the  experience  and  insight  gained  in  a 
quarter  century  of  service  in  the  pastoral 
ministry,  during  which  the  author  held 
some  of  the  most  prominent  pulpits  in 
the  Methodist  Church  and  represented  his 
denomination  at  the  ecumenical  gather- 
ings of  Edinburgh  and  Oxford.  The  book 
is  described  by  his  Emory  colleague, 
William  R.  Cannon,  professor  of  Church 
History  and  Theology,  as  "perhaps  the 
most  significant  contribution  in  this  field 
in  our  generation  and  (one  which)  will 
unquestionably  be  used  as  a  text  in  Divin- 
ity Schools  throughout  America." 

The  text  is  designed  for  students  of 
homiletics  and  also  to  serve  as  an  aid  to 
the  experienced  minister  who  is  striving 
to  improve  the  force  and  quality  of  his 
sermons. 

The  Navy  and  the  Industrial 
Mobilization  in  World  War  II 
by  Robert  H.  Connery.    Princeton 
University  Press. 

According  to  the  New  York  Times,  "the 
lack  of  mobilization  information  becomes 
a  real  hazard  when  we  must  arm  our- 
selves to  meet  a  challenge." 

A  recently  published  book  by  Robert 
H.  Connery,  professor  of  political  science 
at  Duke,  entitled  The  Navy  and  the  In- 
dustrial Mobilization  in  Ttyprld  War  II, 
a  case  history  which  combines  the  most 
mature  qualities  of  academic  and  prac- 
tical history,  has  been  described  in  a 
Times  review  as  an  outstanding  contribu- 
tion toward  overcoming  America's  lack 
of  practical  literature  on  war  mobiliza- 
tion. 

The  book  traces  the  revolution  of  mo- 
bilization procedures  which  took  place 
during  the  last  war.  A  detailed  account 
of  the  role  played  by  the  late  James  For- 
restal,  Under  Secretary  of  the  Navy,  in 
solving  mobilization  problems  which  are 
being  faced  again  today,  is  given  in  the 
book.  Dr.  Connery  points  out  that  ex- 
perience is  essential  to  preparedness, 
but  preparedness  which  worships  experi- 


ence instead  of  exploiting  it  is  self-de- 
feating. 

Dr.  Connery,  who  has  been  a  member 
of  the  Duke  faculty  since  1949,  is  a 
widely  recognized  consultant  on  public 
administration.  Last  summer  he  was 
named  by  the  Brookings  Institution  to 
study  ways  of  speeding  up  the  U.  S.  Mili- 
tary Assistance  Program.  During  World 
War  II  he  served  Math  the  Navy's  his- 
torical unit  and  in  1948  was  a  consultant 
to  the  Hoover  Commission.  He  has  also 
been  a  consultant  to  the  National  Re- 
sources Board  and  the  President's  Com- 
mittee on  Administrative  Management. 

Other  books  by  Dr.  Connery  are  Gov- 
ernment Problems  in  Wild  Life  Conser- 
vation and  Administration  of  an  N.R.A. 
Code.  His  articles  have  appeared  in  lead- 
ing professional  journals. 


Virginia  Records  Returned 

A  number  of  county  and  local  rec- 
ords of  Virginia  which  have  been  pre- 
served in  the  Duke  Library  for  more 
than  20  years  are  being  transferred  to 
the  Virginia  State  Library,  President 
Hollis  Edens  has  announced.  The  rec- 
ords have  been  a  subject  of  a  mild 
controversy  in  the  perpetual  rivalry 
between  the  Old  Dominion  and  the 
Old  North  State. 

Duke  University's  interest  in  acquir- 
ing the  manuscripts  originally,  Presi- 
dent Edens  said,  was  to  preserve  them 
and  make  them  available  to  re- 
searchers. Negotiations  between  Duke 
and  the  Virginia  State  Library  re- 
sulted in  the  decision  to  transfer  the 
documents  to  the  Virginia  institution 
and  place  them  with  other  material  of 
the  same  nature. 

The  Duke  Library's  collection  of 
more  than  1,500,000  manuscripts,  built 
around  the  great  Flowers  collection  of 
Southern  Americana,  are  now  a  lead- 
ing source  of  information  to  scholars 
investigating  Southern  culture.  The 
manuscripts  range  from  plantation  ac- 
count books  to  the  secret  archives  of 
the  Confederacy,  and  from  letters  of 
poets  to  those  of  presidents  of  the 
United   States. 

Oommentins:  on  the  intellectual  ex- 
change and  friendly  relationships  be- 
tween Duke  and  Virginia  institutions. 
President  Edens  assured  a  cordial  wel- 
come to  Virginia  researchers  who  visit 
the  Duke  University  Library.

Commander  Leaves  Duke 

Commander  Clyde  J.  Van  Arsdall, 
former  executive  officer  of  the  Duke  Uni- 
versity Naval  R.O.T.C.,  left  Duke  this 
spring  to  assume  command  of  a  squadron 
of  destroyer  escorts  on  the  West  Coast. 
His  family,  however,  remained  in  Dur- 
ham until  the  end  of  the  school  year. 

A  graduate  of  the  U.  S.  Naval  Acad- 
emy at  Annapolis,  Comdr.  Van  Arsdall 
had  been  at  Duke  since  1948.  In  addi- 
tion to  his  executive  duties  he  was  an 
assistant  professor  of  naval  science. 

During  World  War  II,  he  served  in 
both  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  Theaters. 
His  military  decorations  include  the  Navy 
Cross,  Silver  Star  and  a  Navy  unit  cita- 
tion. 

Before  leaving  Duke,  Comdr.  Van  Ars- 
dall was  honored  by  initiation  into  Omi- 
cron  Delta  Kappa,  national  leadership 
fraternity.  Because  the  date  of  his  de- 
parture fell  before  the  regular  initiation 
date,  a  special  ceremony  was  held. 

Sea  Duty  Assignments 

Five  officers  of  the  N.R.O.T.C.  unit 
will  leave  Duke  for  permanent  sea  duty 
assignments  and  three  others  have  been 
transferred  to  temporary  summer  posts. 
Those  leaving  permanently  will  be  re- 
placed. 

Capt.  Ralph  Earle,  Jr.,  commanding 
officer  of  the  Duke  unit,  Lt.  Comdr.  Rob- 
ert B.  Harrell,  associate  professor  of  Na- 


val science,  and  Maj.  James  C.  Fetters, 
assistant  professor  of  Naval  science,  will 
take  up  temporary  assignments.  They 
will  return  in  the  fall. 

Lieut.  Ralph  A.  Brackett  will  become 
executive  officer  of  a  destroyer  escort. 
Lieut.  Robert  B.  Gustafson  has  been  as- 
signed submarine  duty.  Lieut.  Robert  P. 
Brewer  will  join  an  aircraft  squadron. 
All  three  have  served  at  Duke  as  assist- 
ant professors  of  Naval  science.  Master 
Sgt.  R,  W.  Taylor  will  join  the  fleet 
Marine  force,  and  Chief  Quartermaster 
H.  G.  Malcolm  will  leave  for  sea  duty 
in  September. 

Replacement  officers  will  be  Lieut. 
Comdr.  D.  A.  Ostrom,  Lieut.  J.  S.  Ken- 
nedy, Lieut.  W.  J.  Tipler,  Master  Sgt. 
M.  W.  Sanders  and  Chief  Quartermaster 
J.  G.  Dickinson. 

Summer  Duty  for  Students 

Taking  part  in  practice  cruises  and 
special  training  programs  this  summer 
are  130  Naval  Reserve  Officers  Training 
Corps  students  from  Duke  University. 
They  are  among  2,800  Naval  Academy 
midshipmen  and  6,300  N.R.O.T.C.  par- 
ticipants from  52  colleges  engaged  in 
summer  maneuvers. 

Sixty-nine  Duke  midshipmen  sailed 
from  Norfolk,  Va.,  on  June  4  for  the  first 
eight-week  cruise,  and  30  sailed  with  the 
second  cruise  on  June  22.  One  Duke 
student   will   sail   on   the   third   cruise  to 


New  York,  Panama  and  Cuba  on  Augui 
3. 

Three  weeks  of  aviation  indoctrinatio 
at  Pensaeola,  Fla.,  and  three  weeks  < 
amphibious  training  at  Little  Creek,  Va 
are  being  given  28  Duke  midshipmen  ov< 
the    summer. 


John  Kail  Award 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Walter  J.  Kail,  par- 
ents of  John  Frederick  Kail,  '46,  who 
was  fatally  injured  in  a  crash  over 
enemy  territory  in  Korea  August  5, 
have  received  the  Air  Medal  and  cita- 
tion which  was  awarded  posthumously 
to  their  son. 

The  presentation,  made  in  a  brief 
private  ceremony  at  the  Kail  home  in 
Upper  Sandusky,  Ohio,  by  Lieutenant 
Commander  J.  A.  Smith,  inspector  of 
Naval  Reserves,  Mansfield,  Ohio,  read 
in   part : 

"Carrying  out  a  daring  glide-bomb- 
ing attack  against  an  important  enemy1 
road  bridge  across  the  Kum  River,, 
east  of  Kunsan,  Ensign  Kail  scoredi 
a  direct  hit  on  the  structure  despite 
hostile  anti-aircraft  fire,  rending  this 
vital  highway  link  inoperable  to  the 
enemy.  During  subsequent  strafing 
against  enemy  coastal  shipping  off  the 
coast  of  Kunsan,  he  lost  his  life  as 
the  result  of  a  mid-air  collision.  His 
courage,  aggressive  fighting  spirit  and 
unswerving  devotion  to  duty  reflect 
the  highest  credit  upon  Ensign  Kail 
and  were  in  keeping  with  the  finest 
traditions  of  the  United  States  Naval 
Service.  He  gallantly  gave  his  life  for 
his  country."

Summer  at  Duke 

(Continued  from  Page  174) 
quate,   but  just  recently  was  it  possible 
to  do  something  about  it. 

Contract  for  this  last  gothic  structure 
on  the  campus  has  not  yet  been  let.  Mr. 
A.  S.  Brower,  business  manager  and 
comptroller,  will  probably  announce  the 
contract  within  the  next  few  weeks. 
Meanwhile,  the  University  is  proceeding 
with  the  preparation  of  the  ground. 

More  than  Buildings 

The  vigorous  building  program  now 
underway,  demanded  by  Duke's  past 
growth  in  size  and  by  its  presently  ex- 
panding activities,  can  be  traced  directly 
to  those  who,  in  the  past  two  years,  have 
come  to  the  University's  support  through 
the  Development  Campaign.  Funds  for 
some  of  the  building  projects  came  from 
other  sources,  but  mostly  the  Develop- 
ment Campaign  that  alumni  ran  and  par- 
ticipated in  made  possible  this  activity. 

And  while  the  buildings  are  apparent 
to  anyone  who  can  see,  only  those  close 
to  the  operation  of  the  University  are 
fully  aware  of  the  full  effect  of  the  re- 
cent gifts  of  alumni  and  friends.  With 
the  Development  Campaign  $1,000,000 
and  six  months  away  from  its  goal,  the 
University  is  nevertheless  able  to  begin 
planning  greatly  needed  additions  to  its 
scholarship  and  fellowship  programs,  to 
teaching  and  research  activities,  and  to 
other  functions  essential  to  a  university 
that  is  doing  its  job  in  the  best  possible 
manner  for  the  greatest  possible  benefit 
to  those  whom  it  serves. 


While  this  summer  seems  not  too  unlike 
others  that  have  gone  before,  another 
generation  will  look  back  and  regard  it 
as  a  new  forward  move  for  Duke  rival- 
ling in   significance  the  events  of  1924. 

Opportunities  Are  Ample 

(Continued  from  Page  175) 
April  1951,   and  unemployment  dropped 
sharply.    More  people  are  at  work  this 
spring   than    in   any    previous   spring   in 
the  nation's  history." 

The  Appointments  Office,  operating 
under  the  direction  of  Miss  Fanny  Y. 
Mitchell,  offers  its  services  to  all  stu- 
dents and  alumni,  as  well  as  to  outgoing 
seniors.  The  only  restriction  is  that  the 
applicant  must  be  a  graduate  of  this  uni- 
versity or  working  toward  a  degree  here. 
During  the  past  year  15  teaching  posi- 
tions have  been  obtained  through  this 
office  by  persons  who  were  at  some  time, 
and  for  varying  periods,  matriculated 
students  at  Duke.  These  are  in  addition 
to  the  teacher  placements  described  above. 
A  score  of  graduates  have  successfully 
used  the  aid  of  the  Appointments  Office 
this  year  in  securing  positions  in  the 
fields  of  chemistry,  physics,  engineering 
and  accounting.  The  office  is  open  all 
year,  and  aids  students  in  obtaining  sum- 
mer jobs  as  well  as  permanent  ones.  It 
is  obviously  a  vital  and  successful  branch 
of  the  administration's  activity.

30,  Route  de  Mediouna 
Casablanca,  Morocco 
27  July,  1951 

Chiefly  I  wanted  to  thank  you  for  your  kind  letter  which  I  received 
shortly  after  my  arrival  here,  and  also  to  tell  you  how  much  we  "all" 
enjoy  getting  the  Alumni  Register.  "All"  includes  Pat  Waller,  '48, 
and  Bob  Williams,  B.S.E.E.  '49,  who  are  also  over  here.  I  have 
heard  through  the  grape-vine  that  there  is  another  Duke  alumnus 
out  at  one  of  the  field  sites,  but  I  haven't  as  yet  had  a  chance  to  con- 
tact him,  and  I  don't  know  what  his  name  is. 

At  present,  and  in  fact  since  a  week  after  I  arrived  here,  I  have 
been  "on  loan"  to  the  U.  S.  Corps  of  Engineers  as  Secretary-Interpreter 
to  the  Colonel  and  Lieutenant  Colonel  who  are  in  charge  of  this  con- 
struction. It  is,  in  my  opinion,  the  best  job  a  girl  could  have  over 
here. 

We  work  on  an  8  :00  a.m.  to  6 :00  p.m.  day,  except  Saturdays  when 
we  get  off  at  11 :00  a.m. — supposedly !  It  usually  turns  out  longer,  but 
I  think  I  have  the  most  interesting  job  in  the  world,  so  I  don't  mind. 

I  arrived  here  on  28  January  with  the  "second  wave"  of  personnel 
as  the  first  working  girl  over  here.  Since  then  my  life  has  been  truly 
exciting,  both  from  a  business  and  pleasure  point  of  view.  Morocco 
is  an  intensely  interesting  country — a  sort  of  cross  between  a  movie 
travelogue  and  scenes  from  the  New  Testament.  The  Aral)  population 
in  the  cities  has  been  to  a  large  extent  Europeanized — not  in  matters 
of  dress  and  custom  alone,  but  even  more  in  their  mentality  and  "busi- 
ness methods."  One  of  the  most  interesting  parts  of  any  town  is  the 
"Medina,"  or  native  quarter.  There  the  people  live  in  an  incredible 
state  of  poverty  and  filth  for  the  most  part,  although  there  are  out- 
standing exceptions,  of  course.  There  one  finds  innumerable  little  open- 
front  shops  selling  leather  and  metal  goods  at  unbelievably  low  prices — 
if  one  has  super-sharp  bargaining  talent!  After  looking  around  a  bit, 
carefully  showing  a  complete  lack  of  interest,  one  nonchalantly  asks 
the  price  of  an  article.  Upon  hearing  the  response,  one  laughs  heartily 
and  starts  to  walk  out,  quoting  an  offer  of  approximately  one-third 
over  one's  shoulder.  This  goes  on  for  from  five  minutes  to  half  an

THIS  MONTH'S  COVER 

News  of  the  death  of  Chancellor  Robert  Lee  Flowers  was 
sorrowfully  received  by  the  University  just  as  the  August  issue 
of  the  Register  was  going  to  press.  The  portrait  on  the  cover 
is  a  recent  and  popular  photo  of  Duke's  great  builder.  On  the 
next  page  is  the  information  of  his  passing  and  some  of  the 
tributes  paid  him  by  men  high  in  the  world  of  education,  busi- 
ness, and  government. 


Chancellor  Robert  Lee  Flowers  Passes 


Duke  University  has  lost  one  of  its  great  leaders. 

Chancellor  Robert  Lee  Flowers  died  at  his  home  early 
Friday  evening',  August  24,  after  a  lingering  illness.  He 
was  80  years  old. 

Funeral  services  were  held  in  Duke  Chapel  on  Sun- 
day, August  26,  with  Dean  James  Cannon  III  of  the 
Divinity  School  officiating.  Dr.  Cannon  was  assisted  by 
Dr.  Hersey  E.  Spence,  professor  of  Biblical  literature  and 
religious  education.  Both  men  were  old  friends  of  the 
Chancellor.  Burial  took  place  in  Maplewood  Cemetery  in 
the  Flowers  family  plot. 

A  host  of  friends,  among  them  many  alumni  of  Duke 
who  came  from  a  distance,  gathered  to  pay  final  homage 
to  the  great  educator. 

It  will  be  hard  for  many  to  imagine  Duke  without 
beloved  "Professor  Bobby."  For  60  fruitful  years  his 
name  has  been  almost  synonymous  with  the  institution  he 
was  so  instrumental  in  developing.  They  were  60  years 
of  loyal  devotion  to  a  College,  a  University,  and  an  ideal. 
They  were  years  in  which  countless  lives  were  benev- 
olently influenced  by  his  personality  and  his  work. 

The  death  of  Dr.  Flowers  brought  forth  many  high 
and  sincere  tributes  to  his  life  and  his  accomplishments. 

President  Hollis  Edens,  who  succeeded  him  in  office, 
said :  ' '  The  contributions  of  Chancellor  Flowers  to  Duke 
University  are  plainly  written  in  the  record,  but  beyond 
that,  the  admiration  and  affection  of  his  many  friends 
indicate  the  personalitj7  of  the  man  who  performed  the 
deeds.  Even  those  of  us  who  had  the  privilege  of  know- 
ing him  ...  a  short  time  only  can  see  his  strength  of 
character  written  indelibly  upon  the  life  of  the  Uni- 
versity. 

Governor  Kerr  Scott  of  North  Carolina  said  in 
Raleigh :  ' '  The  greatness  of  a  man  is  measured  by  his 
continuing  influence  upon  human  events  .  .  .  judged  by 
this  standard  the  greatness  of  Dr.  Robert  Lee  Flowers 
will  increase  for  years  to  come,  because  the  institution 
with  which  he  identified  himself  will  perpetuate  his  influ- 
ence. For  more  than  half  a  century  Dr.  Flowers  has  been 
an  integral  part  of  Duke  University  and  the  institution 
from  which  it  grew.  In  all  of  the  positions  he  held  he 
was  faithful  and  loyal.  His  contribution  to  the  Duke  Uni- 
versity of  today  and  tomorrow  has  been  large.  It  has 
been  even  greater  to  the  State  and  the  Nation." 

The  Honorable  Willis  Smith,  chairman  of  the  Univer- 
sity Board  of  Trustees  and  a  United  States  Senator, 
stated:  "Robert  Lee  Flowers  has  passed,  and  the  State 
and  Nation  have  lost  a  loyal  citizen  who  made  his  life 
count  in  the  furtherance  of  education,  religion,  charity, 
civic,  and  social  welfare.  Truly  a  great  and  forceful 
leader  has  left  its  and  we  are  the  loser." 

Dr.  Flowers,  the  late  William  Preston  Few,  and  Vice- 
Chancellor  William  H.  Wannamaker  are  regarded  as  the 
trio  which  led  Duke  University  to  the  eminent  position 
it  now  holds  in  the  ranks  of  education.    Dr.  Wannamaker, 


an  intimate  colleague  of  the  Chancellor,  said :  ' '  Knowing 
him  for  many  years  and  intimately,  I  can  truthfully  say 
that  I  have  known  no  other  person  who,  through  so  many 
years,  wholeheartedly  and  unselfishly  gave  his  life  to  an 
educational  institution." 

Other  expressions  of  grief  and  tribute  came  from  a 
multitude  of  civic  and  educational  leaders  who  had  known 
him,  loved  him,  and  respected  him  as  a  friend  and  as  an 
educator. 

Robert  Lee  Flowers  was  born  in  Alexander  County, 
N.  C,  on  November  6,  1870,  the  eldest  son  of  George 
Washington  and  Sarah  Haynes  Flowers.  In  1905  he 
married  the  former  Lily  Virginia  Parrish,  daughter  of 
Colonel  and  Mrs.  Edward  J.  Parrish  of  Durham.  Mrs. 
Flowers  died  in  1948. 

He  came  to  Trinity  College  as  an  instructor  in  elec- 
trical engineering  in  1891,  just  after  being  graduated 
from  the  United  States  Naval  Academy  at  Annapolis. 
This  was  while  Trinity  was  still  located  in  Randolph 
County. 

He  soon  became  a  professor  of  mathematics  and  chair- 
man of  the  department,  positions  he  actively  held  until 
1934.  In  1910  he  became  secretary  of  the  College  and  in 
1924,  shortly  after  the  Duke  Endowment  was  established, 
he  was  named  secretary  and  treasurer  of  Duke  Univer- 
sity. A  year  later  he  was  elected  vice-president  and  a 
trustee.  In  1926  he  succeeded  the  University's  founder, 
James  B.  Duke,  as  a  trustee  of  the  Duke  Endowment. 

Dr.  Flowers  became  president  in  1941,  after  the  death 
of  Dr.  Few.  He  held  the  presidency  during  the  difficult 
years  of  World  War  II  and  the  period  of  readjustment 
that  followed.    In  1948  he  became  Chancellor. 

His  record  of  service  to  Duke  is  nearly  equalled  by 
his  service  to  many  other  religious,  civic,  educational,  and 
charitable  institutions.  Among  them  are  orphanages, 
churches,  hospitals,  youth  organizations,  and  colleges. 
During  his  lifetime  he  also  served  on  numerous  public 
education  commissions  and  advisory  groups. 

Surviving  are  two  daughters,  Mrs.  Lenox  D.  Baker, 
Durham,  and  Mrs.  George  A.  Robinson,  South  Miami, 
Fla. ;  a  sister,  Mrs.  Marshall  T.  Spears,  '14,  Durham; 
three  brothers,  Fred  Flowers,  '08,  Wilson,  N.  C,  G.  Hor- 
ace Flowers,  '02,  Richmond,  Va.,  and  Claude  M.  Flowers, 
'09,  Durham;  and  five  grandchildren,  Robert  Flowers 
Baker  and  Lenox  D.  Baker,  Jr.,  of  Durham,  Marian  Vir- 
ginia Huey  and  Sybil  Flowers  Huey  of  Fort  Lauderdale, 
Fla.,  and  Robert  Lee  Robinson  of  South  Miami,  Fla. 

The  passing  of  Dr.  Flowers  is  mourned  by  thousands 
who  loved  him  and  who  held  him  in  the  highest  esteem; 
but  few  men  have  lived  who  could,  in  their  waning  years, 
look  back  over  a  life  as  productive  in  service  to  humanity. 
The  results  of  his  labor  are  the  greatest  consolation  for 
those  who  sorrow.  It  can  be  said  that  his  was  a  life  in- 
deed well  spent. 


DUKE  UNIVERSITY  ALUMNI  REGISTER 


Volume  XXXVII 


August,  1951 


Number  8 


This  issue  of  the  Alumni  Register  closes  another 
period  in  the  history  of  the  magazine.  The  September 
issue  will  begin  a  new  era.  Roger  Marshall,  of  the  class 
of  1942,  will  take  over  as  Editor  of  the  publication.  For 
several  years  he  has  served  as  Managing  Editor  and  in 
this  capacity  has  made  an  outstanding  contribution  to 
the  University  and  his  fellow  alumni. 

This  page  has  been  used  by  the  Director  of  Alumni 
Affairs  as  the  editorial  page,  through  which  he  has  tried 
to  call  to  the  attention  of  the  alumni  various  ways  in 
which  they  might  effectively  serve  Duke  University.  Be- 
ginning next  month  there  will  be  a  Director  of  Alumni 
Affairs'  page,  which  will  serve  to  retain  a  close  relation- 
ship between  the  Director  and  the  alumni.  It  will  express 
the  opinion  of  the  Director  and  not  necessarily  that  of 
the  publication  or  the  University. 

Now  a  personal  word  from  the  retiring  editor.  I  should 
like  to  thank  those  alumni  and  friends  of  the  University 
who  have  cooperated  so  generously  in  making  constructive 
suggestions  which  have  molded  my  thinking  in  preparing 
this  page  each  month  for  the  past  several  years.  I  hope 
that  I  may,  in  the  months  to  come,  continue  to  receive 
their  assistance,  for  it  is  only  through  the  continued  in- 
terest and  support  of  the  alumni  that  an  effective  pro- 
gram of  alumni  activities  may  be  continued.  If  you  like 
what  is  being  done  at  the  University,  please  continue  to 
say  so.  If  you  don't  like  what  is  being  done,  feel  free  to 
express  this  also. 


The  Development  Campaign  will  be  continued  during 
the  Fall  months.  In  September  you  will  hear  a  great  deal 
about  this  part  of  the  University's  program.  Already  an 
outstanding  job  has  been  done  in  raising  over  $7,500,000. 
The  combined  efforts  of  every  interested  person  will  be 
needed,  however,  to  assure  the  successful  reaching  and 
passing  of  the  goal  of  $8,650,000,  which  has  been  set. 
Let's  go! 


The  local  alumni  groups  are  already  making  plans  for 
one  of  their  most  active  periods  this  Fall.  Fred  Whitener, 
of  the  class  of  1947,  has  joined  the  staff  of  the  Department 
of  Alumni  Affairs.  As  he  will  coordinate  the  activities  of 
these  groups,  he  would  be  happy  to  have  those  needing 
assistance  write  to  him. 


Have  you  ordered  your  football  tickets?  If  not,  a 
word  to  the  wise  should  be  sufficient.  Since  tickets  are 
going  faster  than  ever  for  this  year's  games,  those  desir- 
ing to  see  the  Duke  Blue  Devils  in  action  this  Fall  should 
place  orders  now !  That  applies  both  to  home  games  and 
to  the  games  away  from  home.  The  early  bird  gets  the 
worm. 


The  Class  Agents  have  gotten  out  their  pencils,  sharp- 
ened them,  and  poised  them  ready  to  write  you  about  the 
affairs  of  the  University.  These  interested  supporters  of 
Duke  University  are  giving  generously  of  their  time  and 
energy  to  make  Duke  a  better,  not  bigger,  institution. 
When  you  get  your  letter,  answer  it  right  away.  You 
will  save  your  agent  time,  and  the  interest  will  mean 
much  to  Duke  Universitv. 


Do  you  know  of  some  outstanding  young  man  or 
■woman  who  should  be  planning  to  attend  Duke  Univer- 
sity. If  so,  write  for  materials.  We  have  a  brand  new 
pictorial  folder  that  will  be  off  the  press  within  the  near 
future.  If  you  would  like  a  copy  for  yourself  or  someone 
else,  drop  us  a  line. 


For  the  Alumni  Office,  the  opening  of  school  in  Sep- 
tember is  one  of  the  most  interesting  times  of  the  entire 
year,  for  during  this  period  many  of  the  alumni  return 
to  enroll  their  sons  and  daughters.  While  they  are  on 
the  campus  they  drop  by  the  Alumni  Office  to  visit  and 
frequently  to  pass  on  information  about  other  alumni 
and  alumni  thinking  in  general.  If  you  are  coming  to 
Duke  this  September  to  enroll  your  son  or  daughter,  plan 
to  drop  by  the  Alumni  Office  for  a  visit,  no  matter  how 
brief  it  must  be.  We,  of  course,  are  looking  forward  to 
meeting  and  knowing  alumni  sons  and  daughters  who  are 
entering  Duke  for  the  first  time.  The  increasing  number 
of  such  students  every  year  gives  us  a  great  deal  of  per- 
sonal satisfaction,  for  it  means  the  alumni  approve  of  the 
kind  of  training  offered  at  Duke  and  are  anxious  for 
future  generations  to  take  advantage  of  it. 


The  age  old  problem  is  ever  with  us:  What's  hap- 
pened to  Mr.  John  Doe  of  1467  W.  Market  Street?  Or 
is  Mary  Smith  married?  If  so,  where  is  she  living?  If 
you  were  to  go  into  the  Records  Office  any  hour  of  the 
day,  these  are  the  kind  of  questions  you  would  hear  the 
young  ladies  asking  one  another.  You  don't  mean  to 
make  it  difficult,  but  you,  the  alumni,  are  the  source  of 
these  questions.  The  reason  you  are  the  source  of  these 
questions  is  that  you  failed  to  notify  the  Alumni  Office 
when  you  moved  two  blocks  from  your  present  address; 
or  when  you  went  across  town  for  a  new  place  of  resi- 
dence ;  or  perhaps  when  you  just  changed  apartments  in 
the  same  building.  We  are  uninformed  because,  when 
you  moved,  you  said,  "I  will  write  the  Alumni  Office  in 
a  day  or  two,"  and  then  you  forgot.  If  you  are  getting 
mail  from  the  Alumni  Office  directed  to  an  old  address, 
please  send  us  your  new  one.  The  fact  that  most  of  the 
24,000  Duke  alumni  have  changed  addresses  at  least  once 
in  the  past  twelve  months  is  fantastic  but  true.  How 
about  giving  us  a  helping  hand.  Remember,  more  people 
move  in  the  month  of  September  than  in  any  other.  If 
you  are  one  of  these,  send  us  your  new  address. 


Introducing  Foreign  Students  to  Uncle  Sam 


One  of  the  -40  or  so  foreign  students 
who  are  making  Duke  their  temporary 
home  this  month  became  enmeshed  in 
passport  red  tape  in  Xew  York.  His  take- 
off for  Raleigh  was  delayed  six  hours. 
His  flight,  therefore,  would  terminate  at 
1 :00  a.m.,  and  he  was  concerned  over 
the  problem  he  anticipated  in  landing  in 
an  unfamiliar  city  at  such  an  hour  and 
finding  a  place  to  stay.  He  was  infinitely 
relieved,  on  leaving  the  plane,  to  find  a 
friend  waiting  to  bring  him  to  Durham. 

The  friend  was  Dr.  Earl  T.  Hanson, 
of  the  Political  Science  Department,  di- 
rector of  the  Duke  orientation  center  for 
foreign  students  coming  to  the  United 
States  for  academic  training  under  aus- 
pices of  the  Departments  of  State  and 
Army.  The  students  arrived  August  1  for 
a  six-week  stay  before  going  to  other 
universities  for  the   school  year  1951-52. 

The  impression  created  upon  the  stu- 
dent by  the  appearance  of  this  sympa- 
thetic one-man  reception  committee  was 
one  which,  to  use  his  own  words,  he  will 
not  forget  as  long  as  he  lives.  From  this 
simple  situation  may  be  inferred  some- 
thing of  the  nature  of  the  task  being- 
undertaken  by  the  score  of  orientation 
centers  now  on  American  university  cam- 


puses under  the  Institute  of  International 
Education's  foreign  student  program.  It 
is  "the  setting  of  the  hesitating  foot  on 
the  untried  path,  the  helping  hand  over 
the  ditch  of  despair,  the  boost  over  the 
first  barrier  of  bewilderment  which  the 
foreign  students  find  on  arrival  in  this 
overwhelming  country  of  ours." 

Cushions  the  Shock 

The  orientation  center  represents  a  new 
approach  to  a  problem  which  has  pre- 
vented this  nation's  exchange  student 
activities  from  yielding  the  best  possible 
results.  The  general  purpose  of  the  ex- 
change student  program  is  to  give  selected 
students  from  other  countries  a  first-hand 
knowledge  of  the  general  aspects  of 
American  culture,  in  addition  to  provid- 
ing an  opportunity  for  specialized  study. 
But  the  shock  and  confusion  of  plunging 
into  a  strange  social  milieu  at  the  very 
time  of  beginning  a  frequently  strenuous 
academic  year  have  been  found  to  have 
unfortunate  results,  both  for  the  absorp- 
tion of  culture  and  for  the  assimilation 
of  learning.  It  was  decided  that  an 
orientation  period  of  six  weeks  might 
well  be  spent  in  cushioning  the  shock  be- 
fore the  school  year  began. 


A  group  of  foreign  students  undergo  the  typical  American  ordeal  of  hav- 
ing a  news  picture  taken.  Here  they  are  standing  on  the  Chapel  steps.  Left

M.  Kasai,  Japan. 


Hence,  on  August  1  there  arrived  at 
Duke  from  all  over  the  world  a  group 
of  students  who  are  living  on  the  campus, 
eating  in  the  cafeterias,  having  cokes  and 
shopping  for  incidentals  in  the  ''Dope 
Shop,"  going  on  field  trips  around  Dur- 
ham and  vicinity,  hearing  lectures  on 
American  culture,  improving  their  com- 
mand of  English,  having  discussions  with 
American  students,  and,  in  general,  ac- 
customing themselves  to  our  college  life. 
Under  the  Summer  Session  program 
headed  by  Dr.  Paul  Clyde  the  orientation 
center  is  administered  by  Dr.  Hanson, 
who  has  as  his  assistants  Dr.  Joel  Col- 
ton, Duke  historian,  and  a  staff  of  eight 
or  nine  picked  teachers  from  the  English 
and  Social  Science  departments. 

The  newcomers  are  brilliant,  interest- 
ing and  extremely  likeable.  About  half 
of  them  are  Japanese,  under  the  sponsor- 
ship of  the  U.  S.  Department  of  the 
Army.  Others,  under  a  State  Depart- 
ment-sponsored program,  are  from  India, 
Italy,  Pakistan,  Switzerland,  Germany, 
France,  Brazil  and  points  east  and  west. 

They  were  selected,  through  exhaustive 
competitive  examinations,  for  their  prob- 
able ability  to  interpret  America  to  their 
countrymen  when  they  return,  for  the 
value  to  their  native  lands  which  their 
U.  S.  acquired  training  will  yield,  for  their 
open-mindedness,  for  their  proficiency 
in  English.  Ages  average  28,  and  range 
from  21  to  39.  Among  them  are  college 
professors,  undergraduates,  government 
officials,  journalists. 

Food  Is  a  Problem 

Two  of  the  three  primary  physical 
needs  of  the  men  are  being  taken  care 
of  without  difficulty.  Clothes  present  no 
problem,  and  they  are  being  sheltered  in 
GG  Dormitory  on  West  Campus.  Food 
is  a  slightly  different  matter.  Cultural 
differences  introduce  complications  for 
some.  One  Pakistani  has  said  good- 
naturedly,  and  probably  with  a  slight  ex- 
aggeration, that  he  has  been  on  a  diet 
of  buttered  toast  ever  since  he  came  to 
America.  Religious  orthodoxy  discour- 
ages for  some  Easterners  the  eating  of 
pork,  beef,  eggs  or,  unless  with  special 
preparation,  chicken.  The  culinary  in- 
doctrination of  some  of  the  Japanese, 
however,  was  accomplished  on  a  Navy 
transport,  and  in  at  least  one  instance  re- 
sulted in  an  affinity  for  hot  roast  beef 
sandwiches  and  cheeseburgers. 

The  foreign  students  eat  in  "D"  cafe- 
teria,   and    under    the    direction    of    Mr.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  August,  1951 


Harvey  Grundy  and  his  dietitians  a  spe- 
cial effort  is  being  made  to  accommodate 
the  preferences  of  the  several  national- 
ities and  at  the  same  time  to  educate  the 
students  in  American — and  particularly 
Southern — cuisine. 

The  students  are  impressed  with  the 
quantity  of  food  served,  and  with  its 
sometimes  mystifying  variety.  A  table 
of  labelled  condiments  has  occasioned 
some  experimentation,  such  as  lathering 
black-eyed  peas  with  mayonnaise  and 
applying  horseradish  sauce  to  macaroni 
and  cheese.  Leftovers  are  carefully  scru- 
tinized as  an  index  to  likes  and  dislikes. 
American  students  are  encouraged  to  join 
the  guests  from  abroad  at  meal  times, 
and  the  best-natured  fraternization  seems 
to  be  the  order  of  the  day.  There  is 
confident  expectation  that  the  social  give 
and  take  will  be  healthy  and  valuable  for 
both  sides. 

The  orientation  program  has  been  de- 
vised with  great  care.  The  Institute  of 
International  Education  has  been  re- 
quested by  the  Departments  of  State  and 
Army  to  administer  such  a  program  for 
1,000  students  who  were  to  enter  the 
United  States  under  their  auspices  for  the 
academic  year  of  1951-52.  Twenty  col- 
leges and  universities  were  asked  to  pro- 
vide orientation  centers  for  from  40  to 
80  students  each,  with  a  curriculum  "de- 
signed to  prepare  them  for  good  adjust- 
ment to  the  university  or  college  in  which 
they  will  spend  the  balance  of  the  acad- 
emic year."  (Those  now  at  Duke  will 
leave  in  September  for  other  schools  and 
foreign  students  who  have  had  orientation 
at  other  institutions  will  come  to  Duke 
for  study.  The  switch  has  been  found 
advisable  for  a  number  of  reasons,  most 
of  which  add  up  to  the  fact  that  this 
procedure  will  widen  their  experience, 
which  is  what  they  came  for.) 

Goals  Described 

Early  this  year  in  Chicago  a  conference 
of  center  directors  was  held  by  the  Insti- 
tute. For  three  days  the  directors  ex- 
changed experiences  of  previous  years, 
formulated  plans  and  shaped  programs. 
The  objectives  of  the  orientation  courses 
offered  at  each  center,  and  of  the  pro- 
grams built  around  the  courses,  are:  to 
enable  the  student  to  increase  his  English 
language  proficiency  in  order  to  be  able 
to  undertake  academic  work  without  seri- 
ous handicap;  to  increase  his  knowledge 
of  the  ideas  and  events  which  have 
contributed  to  the  growth  of  modern 
American  civilization,  and  enable  him  to 
observe  at  first  hand  the  practical  appli- 
cation of  democracy  to  American  life  and 
institutions ;  to  accustom  him  to  American 


American  and  foreign  students  eagerly  seek  each  other's  viewpoints  on 
all  conceivable  subjects,  the  only  bar  being  language  difficulty.  Here,  in  "D" 
cafeteria,  Dr.  Earl  T.  Hanson,  director  of  the  orientation  program  and  a 
Woman's  College  junior  engage  in  discussion  with  the  guest  students.  Left 
to  right:  Dr.  Hanson;  Hans  Lindhorst,  Germany;  Hassan  Gamgoun,  Egypt; 
Jeorg  Herkommer,  Germany ;  Motei  Tetsuji,  Japan  ;  A.  W.  K.  Malik,

Finland. 


classroom  techniques  and  acquaint  him 
with  the  general  workings  of  the  Ameri- 
can educational  system;  and  to  give  him 
an  opportunity  to  become  acclimated  and 
adjusted  to  a  new  social  environment. 
That's  a  large  order  for  all  concerned, 
considering  the  time  limitations. 

The  presence  of  the  students  has  given 
West  Campus  an  unusually  metropolitan 
air,  especially  for  a  summer  session. 
Among  them  is  represented  a  wide  va- 
riety of  personalities  and  interests.  One 
Japanese,  who  teaches  school  in  Tokyo, 
wrote  his  master's  dissertation  on  Walt 
Whitman,  and  was  extremely  pleased  to 
find  in  the  Duke  Library  an  except:onal 
collection  of  the  works  of  that  poet.  A 
Turkish  student  aiming  at  a  master's  de- 
gree in  civil  engineering  asked  to  be 
shown  through  the  cafeteria  kitchen, 
where  he  exhibited  great  interest  in  the 
steam  cookers,  dishwashing  machine  and 
other  equipment. 

One  of  the  Egyptians  is  a  journalist. 
He  represented  his  Cairo  paper  at  the 
United  Nations  last  year,  and  is  now  serv- 
ing as  an  American  correspondent  for 
that  paper  and  another  in  Karachi.  Sev- 
eral students  are  physicians  and  several 
are  lawyers.     It  is  probable  that  all  are 


extremely    serious    about    their    responsi- 
bilities and  opportunities. 

Well-Rounded  Program 

The  daily  routine  consists  of  lectures, 
discussions  and  classes  in  the  mornings, 
with  social  and  recreational  activities  and 
field  trips  in  the  afternoons  and  evenings, 
separated  by  generous  allotments  of  free 
time.  Dr.  Hanson  and  Dr.  Colton  make 
themselves  available  to  the  students  for 
consultation.  Most  classes  and  lectures 
are  held  in  the  Engineering  Building. 
The  faculty  includes  Messrs.  Stone,  Del- 
homme,  Cook,  Williams,  Richards  and 
Emma. 

The  Student  Y.M.C.A.  is  assuming- 
much  responsibility  for  arranging  social 
events  and  for  bringing  American  stu- 
dents into  social  relationships  with  the 
visitors.  The  first  week  ended  (on  Sat- 
urday) with  a  picnic  at  Gate  One,  an 
arrangement  which  neatly  avoided  a  trans- 
portation problem,  Gate  One  being  within 
walking  distance.  During  the  second 
week  the  women  students  of  Duke  enter- 
tained the  foreign  students  at  a  reception, 
and  a  session  of  square  and  ballroom 
dancing  was  held  in  the  Old  Gvmnasium.

Laboratory  for  Science  Teachers 

Resourcefulness  Improves  Teaching  Techniques 


It  is  said  that  a  resourceful  woman 
can  fix  almost  anything  with  a  hairpin 
and  a  piece  of  chewing  gum.  Not  quite 
so  simple  is  the  conducting  of  classroom 
experiments  in  physics,  chemistry  and 
biology  with  homemade  apparatus; 
Boyle's  Law  could  hardly  be  demon- 
strated with  a  few  old  mason  jars,  some 
odd  pieces  of  pipe  and  a  front-porch 
thermometer.  But  the  45  men  and 
women — most  of  them  high  school  science 
teachers  from  North  Carolina  and  nearby 
— who  spent  the  week  of  July  23  at  the 
Science  Teachers  Laboratory  Conference 
saw  basic  physical  science  principles 
demonstrated  by  devices  whose  parts  were 
resurrected    from   junk   piles   and    attics. 

The  teachers,  who  came  "to  learn  how 
practical  and  useful  experiments  can  be 
performed  in  their  classrooms  with  a 
minimum  of  equipment,"  saw  a  galvanom- 
eter made  from  an  old  razor  blade,  a  coil 
of  wire,  some  bits  of  thread,  two  dry 
cells  and  a  wooden  stand.  An  arrange- 
ment consisting  of  a  spark  plug  set  in  a 
Rumford  baking  powder  can,  a  Model 
"T"  Ford  coil,  a  single  pole  switch  and 
a  7-volt  source  of  current,  with  benzene 
judiciously  administered  by  eye-dropper, 
illustrated  effectively  the  principles  of 
the  internal  combustion  engine.     The  rea- 


son a  baseball  curves  was  shown  by  a 
contraption  made  out  of  a  rubber  band, 
the  cardboard  core  of  a  paper  towel  roll, 
two  feet  of  gauze  bandage,  a  square  foot 
of  flat  board  and  a  couple  of  thumb 
tacks.  Most  of  the  "equipment"  was 
constructed  by  high  school  science  stu- 
dents as  class  projects.  It  ran  prac- 
tically the  gamut  of  secondary  school 
physics  and  general  science. 

The  Conference,  believed  to  be  the  first 
of  its  kind,  was  a  carefully  planned  pro- 
gram of  laboratory  demonstrations,  dis- 
cussion groups,  inspections,  guided  tours 
and  formal  dinner  meetings.  The  famed 
Oak  Ridge  Traveling  Museum  exhibit  on 
atomic  energy  arrived  from  Salt  Lake 
City  for  its  North  Carolina  premiere 
after  an  almost  fatal  delay  in  transit.  On 
one  afternoon  the  conferees  were  received 
a*  the  Morehead  Planetarium  in  Chapel 
Hill. 

A  nominal  $6  registration  included  ad- 
mission to  all  sessions  of  the  Conference, 
which  covered  the  fields  of  the  physical 
and  biological  sciences.  At  the  opening 
session,  presided  over  by  Lewis  E.  Ander- 
son, chairman  of  the  Botany  Department, 
welcoming  remarks  were  made  by  Paul 
M.  Gross,  vice-president  of  Duke,  and 
John  H.  Highsmith,  of  the  North  Caro- 


lina State  Department  of  Education, 
representing  the  two  organizations  spon- 
soring the  Conference.  The  four-day 
event  closed  with  a  panel  discussion  on 
"The  Meanings  of  Science,"  and  an  hour- 
long  formal  critique  of  the  Conference. 
The  panel  discussants  were  Professor 
R.  N.  Wilson,  professor  emeritus  of  chem- 
istry; Mr.  Richard  L.  Weaver,  director 
of  Resourse  Use  Education,  Department 
of  Public  Instruction,  Raleigh,  N.  C; 
Mr.  Henry  A.  Shannon,  advisor  in  sci- 
ence in  the  same  department;  and  Dr. 
George  W.  Haupt,  Glassboro  State  Teach- 
ers College,  Glassboro,  N.  J. 

Other  Conference  highlights  were  ad- 
dresses by  Dr.  Ralph  T.  Overman, 
Special  Training  Division,  Oak  Ridge 
Institute  of  Nuclear  Studies,  on  "Where 
Goes  the  Atom!"  and  by  Duke  Vice- 
President  Gross,  who  is  president  of  the 
Institute  of  Nuclear  Studies,  on  "The 
Role  of   Science  in  a   Changing  World." 

The  faculty  consisted  principally  of 
Duke  professors,  with  the  addition  of 
several  specialists  from  industrial  organ- 
izations and  a  member  of  the  teaching 
staff  of  Albemarle  High  School,  Mr.  R. 
C.  Hatley,  whose  students  made  much  of 
the  laboratory  equipment  displayed.  The 
supervisory  committee  of  the  Conference 
consisted  of  Professors  Anderson;  David 
W.  Carpenter,  physics;  Henry  S.  Rob- 
erts, zoology;  and  John  H.  Saylor,  chem- 
istry; Dr.  Paul  H.  Clyde,  director  of  the 
Duke  Summer  Session;  and  Henry  A. 
Shannon,  of  the  Department  of  Public 
Instruction,  Raleigh,  N.  C. 

Math  Teachers  Meet 
for  11th  Conference 

The  Mathematics  Teachers  Institute 
has  become  a  hardy  perennial  on  the 
Duke  campus.  During  the  past  ten  years 
more  than  1,000  teachers  from  37  states 
and  many  from  Canada  have  used  the  in- 
stitute for  catching  up  on  the  previous 
year's  developments  in  this  vast  field. 
The  11th  session  was  held  August  7-17 
under  the  direction  of  W.  W.  Rankin, 
professor  of  mathematics,  with  the  gen- 
eral theme  "Mathematics  at  Work." 

A  $12  registration  fee  admitted  the 
registrants  to  an  extensive  and  highly 
elaborated  program  of  lecture-discussions, 
study  groups,  symposia  and  dinner  meet- 
ings. More  than  a  score  of  specialists 
from  industry  and  the  educational  world 
gave  talks  on  which  the  daily  meetings 
were  based,  or  addressed  the  formal  eve- 
ning sessions.

serve. Trained  in  communications,  he 
served  in  that  capacity  on  the  destroyer 


escort  U.S.S.  Hubbard,  and  later  became 
her  executive  officer.  His  ship,  with  three 
others,  formed  the  first  hunter-killer  group

Math  Models  Bring 
Alumna  Recognition 

Dr.  Ruth  Stokes,  of  the  Syracuse  Uni- 
versity faculty,  who  received  a  Ph.D.  de- 
gree in  Mathematics  at  Duke  in  1931  and 
was  a  member  of  the  Duke  Mathematics 
Department  during  her  years  of  graduate 
work  and  for  two  years  thereafter,  is 
described  as  a  "Model  Mathematician"  in 
a  feature  article  of  a  recent  issue  of  the 
Syracuse  University  Alumni  Nexos.  The 
title  is  a  gentle  play  on  words ;  Dr.  Stokes 
has  an  outstanding  collection  of  mathe- 
matical models. 

The  models  are  not  the  flesh  and  blood 


x"^S 


Rear  Admiral  Ralph  Earle,  com- 
mandant of  the  Duke  N.R.O.T.C. 
unit,  has  left  Duke  for  reassignment 
to  the  Naval  War  College,  Newport. 
R.  I.  The  departure  of  the  popular 
officer  caused  deep  regret  on  the  cam- 
pus, where  he  has  been  stationed 
since  1949.  Recent  promotion  to  his 
present  rank,  however,  profoundly 
pleased  his  many  friends  at  the  Uni- 
versity. Admiral  Earle,  who  com- 
manded a  destroyer  at  Pearl  Harbor 
on  December  7.  1941,  and  who  en- 
gaged in  many  Pacific  battles  during 
World  War  II,  graduated  from  An- 
napolis in  1922.  Both  his  father  and 
his  grandfather  were  admirals  and 
his  daughter  Audrey,  a  rising  sopho- 
more at  Duke,  is  a  seaman  in  the 
WAVE. 


kind.  They  are  contrivances  of  wood, 
paper,  string  and  assorted  materials 
worked  into  designs  which  illustrate 
mathematics  principles.  A  large  struc- 
ture of  small  sticks  demonstrates  the 
binomial  theorem;  one  model  shows  how 
a  curved  surface  can  be  generated  from 
straight  lines;  a  box  with  buckshot  which 
slips  down  through  nails  in  a  board  into 
a  number  of  boxes  bears  out  the  theory 
of  the  normal  variation  curve.  Cones, 
parabolas  and  models  of  indescribable 
complication  stand  on  her  shelves.  She 
does  not  make  them;  she  just  collects 
them. 

The  veteran  mathematician  is  working 
on  two  forthcoming  books,  "The  History 
and  Construction  of  Mathematical  Mod- 
els and  Their  Use  in  Teaching"  and  a 
work  on  spherical  trigonometry.  She  also 
edits  the  Phi  Mu  Epsilon  Journal,  official 
publications  of  the  mathematics  honorary, 
and  recently  was  elected  a  Fellow  of  the 
American  Association  for  the  Advance- 
ment of  Science.

Distant  Campaigner 

An  outstanding  campaigner  for  the 
University's  Development  Program  is 
Frank  A.  Thacker,  '49.  Working 
thousands  of  miles  from  the  campus, 
he  has  reported  pledges  totaling  sev- 
eral hundred  dollars  and  is  still  at 
work  on  other  prospects,  one  of  whom 
he  is  trailing  through  Europe  via  the 
mails. 

Frank,  whose  address  is  Apartado 
889,  Creole  Petroleum  Corporation, 
Caracas,  Venezuela,  South  America,  is 
an  accountant.  He  has  been  living  in 
Venezuela  about  a  year.  Immediately 
upon  his  graduation  he  started  work 
as  an  accountant  for  the  Carter  Oil 
Company,  in  Tulsa,  Okla.,  an  affiliate 
of  the   Creole  Petroleum  Corporation. 

During  his  years  at  Duke,  Frank 
received  scholastic  recognition  by  be- 
ing awarded  a  National  Methodist 
Scholarship  for  three  years.  As  a 
freshman  he  received  the  scholarship 
awarded  by  Duke  alumni  of  High 
Point,  N.  C,  his  home.  He  became 
publicity  director,  and  vice-president 
of  Alpha  Kappa  Psi,  professional 
commerce  fraternity,  and  was  also  a 
dormitory  steward  for  the  Methodist 
Student  Fellowship  on  the  Duke 
campus.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  August,  1951 


Blue  Devils  Will  Depend  on  Speedy  Backs 


With  the  September  1  Fall  training 
start  around  the  corner,  football  talk  is 
on  the  uprise  around  Duke  University. 

A  new  head  coach,  a  new  formation, 
new  assistant  coaches,  new  opponents  and 
general  curiosity  give  rise  to  most  of  the 
talk. 

Approximately  75  husky  candidates  are 
expected  to  report  to  new  head  Coach 
William  D.  Murray  on  September  1  and 
begin  workouts  for  a  tough  Fall  cam- 
paign. New  teams  on  the  10-game  sched- 
ule of  the  Duke  team  include  the  Univer- 
sity of  Virginia  and  William  and  Mary. 

The  Duke  team  this  year  is  expected 
to  look  much  different  from  the  one  that 
racked  a  respectable  7-3  record  last  sea- 
son. Gone  is  the  passing  combination  of 
Billy  Cox  to  Mike  Souchak,  Ceep  You- 
tnans  and  Tom  Powers.  In  its  place  is 
expected  to  be  a  lightning  T  formation 
attack  with  speedy  halfbacks  Piney  Field, 
Charlie  Smith  and  Gerald  Mozingo  and 
block-busting  fullbacks  Jack  Kistler  and 
Conrad  Moon  leading  the  way.  The  line 
will  be  built  around  outstanding  ends 
Blaine  Earon  and  Jim  Gibson  and  tackle 
James  "Tank"  Lawrence.  Gibson  will 
captain  the  1951  aggregation. 

Murray,  a  Duke  graduate,  class  of  '31, 
recently  announced  the  signing  of  two 
new  coaches  to  help  him  with  the  tutor- 
ing. They  were  Marty  Pierson,  fresh- 
man coach  at  the  University  of  Delaware, 
and  Tom  O'Boyle,  former  Tulane  All- 
America  guard  who  had  been  line  coach 
at  Kansas  State. 

Majority  of  the  early  work  by  the  Blue 
Devils  was  expected  to  be  directed  to 
bolstering  the  team's  defensive  attack. 
Not  much  attention  was  given  this  phase 
in  Spring  training  and  as  a  result,  the 
team  looked  green  in  this  department  in 
the  Spring  practice  games. 


HOMECOMING 

Homecoming  Day,  1951,  will  be  Sat- 
urday, October  27,  when  Duke's  Blue 
Devils  collide  with  Virginia's  strong 
Cavaliers  in  Duke  Stadium.  While  the 
program  for  the  week  end  has  not  yet 
been  announced,  it  will  probably  begin 
Friday  night  and  continue  through 
Sunday  afternoon.  The  annual  barbe- 
cue luncheon  on  Saturday  will  be  a 
highlight.  Homecoming  will  provide 
a  good  occasion  for  alumni  to  gather 
to  see  Coach  Murray's  Model  T  in 
action  and  to  observe  the  progress  of 
recent  months  on  the  campus. 


Athletic  Director  Eddie  Cameron,  left,  and  Head  Coach  Bill  Murray, 
right,  confer  with  two  new  members  of  the  coaching  staff.  They  are  Assistant 
Coaches  Martv  Pierson  from  Delaware  and  Tom  O'Bovle  from  Kansas  State. 


Besides  the  work  with  the  defense, 
much  time  must  be  devoted  to  the  polish- 
ing of  the  new  T  formation  introduced 
to  the  Devils  this  Spring.  The  biggest 
offensive  problem  will  be  that  of  develop- 
ing, a  first  line  quarterback.  Joe  Self,  a 
senior  from  Greensboro,  N.  C,  led  the 
candidates  this  Spring,  but  Jerry  Barger, 
an  All-State  and  All-Southern  freshman 
from  Salisbury,  N.  C,  shows  much  prom- 
ise. Another  top-notch  candidate  is 
Glenn  Wild,  a  short  senior  from  Pitts- 
burgh, Pa.  Wild  is  probably  the  best 
passer  of  the  three,  but  his  lack  of  height 
(he's  five  feet,  eight)  hinders  his  chances. 

At  other  offensive  positions,  here's  the 
way  the  Duke  team  stacks  up : 

End — Blaine  Earon  and  Jim  Gibson, 
two  capable  defensive  veterans,  may  be 
given  a  chance  to  play  offensive  ball. 
Walter  Smith,  Gene  Brooks,  Bill  Keziah 
and  A.  B.  Pearson  are  others  who  will 
play  a  great  deal.  Mike  Souchak  and 
Ceep  Youmans,  the  regular  offensive  ends 
of  last  year,  are  gone. 

Tackle — Jim  Logan,  regular  offensive 
tackle  of  last  year,  is  back,  but  Jim 
Young,  Bob  Anderson  and  Dan  Adams, 
all  offensive  lettermen,  are  gone.  "Tank" 
Lawrence,  defensive  bulwark  of  last  year, 
may  be  used  on  offense.  Capable  naw- 
comers  are  Ed  "Country"  Meadows  and 
Lewis  Berry.  Both  are  up  from  the  fresh- 
man squad. 

Guard — This  is  one  of  the  weakest 
spots  on  the  team.  Bob  Deyton,  regular 
offensive  guard  last  year,  graduated. 
Carl  James  and  Don  Knotts,  both  ex- 
perienced, return.  Top  candidates  include 


Carson  Leach  and  Truett  Grant,  both 
members  of  last  year's  team.  Two  backs, 
John  Carey  and  Bob  Berger,  have  been 
shifted  to  guard.  Outstanding  newcom- 
ers include  sophs  Bobby  Burrows  and 
Fred  Fuller. 

Center — Although  last  year's  starter  is 
gone,  this  position  appears  to  be  well- 
manned.  Jim  Ed  Gibson  was  the  starter 
last  year,  but  it's  said  his  understudy, 
Lou  Tepe,  is  as  good.  A  promising  fresh- 
man at  this  position  is  Johnny  Palmer. 
All-Stater  from  Lynchburg,  Va.  Other 
promising  players  include  husky  Ray 
Green  and  Gene  Million. 

Backs — The  competition  is  keen  at  all 
backfield  posts.  The  quarterback  post  is 
up  for  grabs  between  Self,  Wild  and 
Barger,  with  Charlie  Smith,  Piney  Field 
and  Gerald  Mozingo  leading  the  half- 
backs. Other  promising  halfbacks  are 
Red  Smith,  a  lefthander  all  the  way,  and 
George  Grune,  the  regular  safetyman  last 
season.  Field  is  probably  the  fastest 
back  in  the  nation,  having  been  timed  in 
the  100-yard  clash  at  9.6  seconds  as  a 
member  of  the  Duke  cinder  crew  this 
Spring.  The  Blue  Devils'  fullback  this 
season  will  be  a  hard-runner  whether 
Jack  Kistler  or  Conrad  Moon  wins  the 
berth.  Both  are  huskies  and  sophomores. 
Kistler  shone  in  the  Spring  games  and 
Moon  showed  his  stuff  in  drills  before 
going  out  in  favor  of  a  bad  leg. 

Defensively,  the  Duke  outfit  appears  a 
little  more  experienced,  although  like  the 
offensive  crew,  it  appears  weak  in  the 
center  of  the  line.

Freshman  will  be  able  to  play  varsity

Autumn,  but  few  are  expected  to  help  the 
Blue  Devils.  The  big  handicap  in  this 
respect  is  the  time  element.  With  the  T 
formation  being  installed,  the  Blue  Devils 
must  devote  the  majority  of  their  time 
polishing  up  the  attack  since  the  first 
game  will  be  played  three  weeks  after  the

and  it  is  there  that  one  gets  the  impres- 
sion of  living  in  Biblical  times.  The  peo- 
ple are  more  religious,  and,  I  believe, 
more  honest.  They  still  live  in  straw  huts 
which  look  like  hay-stacks  and  fence  in 
their  little  villages  with  large  cactus 
plants.  They  ride  donkeys  and  camels, 
the  women  do  all  the  heavy  work,  and 
they  dip  water  from  wells  exactly  as  did 
the  Samaritan  women  whom  Christ  met. 
They  plow  often  with  an  ox  and  a  camel 
hitched  together,  and  threshing  is  per- 
formed by  having  blindfolded  horses 
gallop  round  and  round  on  a  pile  of 
wheat!  On  any  summer  day,  one  can 
see  "the  chaff  which  the  wind  driveth 
away." 

"We  arrived  in  Rabat,  the  capital  city, 
in  the  midst  of  the  rainy  season,  when 
every  day  was  chilly  and  damp.  This, 
however,  did  not  detract  from  the  at- 
traction of  that  little  city.  We  loved  it, 
and  I  think  almost  everyone  wishes  we 
had  stayed  there  instead  of  moving  to 
Casablanca  in  April.  There  was  no  real 
spring,  just  a  short  period  during  which 
everything  was  wonderfully  green  and 
when  great  fields  of  vari-eolored  wild 
flowers  could  be  seen  everywhere  in  the 
country.  Xow  summer  is  here,  meaning  no 
rain  at  all  until  rather  late  in  the  fall,  and 
all  the  land  is  turning  reddish-brown.  It 
has  not  been  unbearably  hot  yet,  which 
the  residents  of  long-standing  say  is 
rather  unusual,  except  for  three  days 
when  the  sirocco  winds  blew  in  from  the 
desert. 

In  the  brief  space  of  a  letter  such  as 
this  I  cannot  possibly  describe  all  the 
wonders  of  Morocco  and  how  much  my 
husband  and  I  enjoy  our  life  and  work 
here.  Nevertheless,  I  wanted  you  to 
know  that  on  the  edge  of  the  "Dark  Con- 
tinent." there  are  at  least  three  of  us 
who  occasionally  raise  a  toast  to  the  mem- 
ory of  our  Alma  Mater,  although  we 
don't  really  have  time  to  get  too  home- 
sick!

Duke  University  officially  begins  its  academic  year 
when  the  Stars  and  Stripes  are  raised  skyward  amid 
traditional  ceremony.  This  year  the  flag-raising  took 
place  on  September  19  on  West  Campus  and  a  day  earlier 
mi  East.  President  Edens,  back  to  camera,  welcomes 
students. 


THE  DIRECTOR'S  SCRATCH  PAD 


By  the  time  this  issue  of  the  Register  reaches  you,  the 
leaves  will  have  already  begun  to  turn  on  the  trees  and 
there  will  be  a  feeling  of  fall  in  the  air. 


The  Development  Campaign  is  underway  and  the  re- 
ports from  the  areas  are  coming  in  fast,  Each  one  shows 
the  results  of  hard  work  and  ingenuity  on  the  part  of 
many  alumni.  New  areas,  such  as  Newark,  N.  J.;  Balti- 
more, Md. ;  Philadelphia,  Pa. ;  Jacksonville,  Miami,  Tampa, 
and  St.  Petersburg,  Pla. ;  and  Asheville,  N.  C,  are  being 
organized.  Many  of  the  old  areas  are  being  recanvassed 
with  every  indication  that  we  should  reach  our  goal  of 
$8,650,000  by  December  31. 


The  Alumni  Office  appreciates  the  many  visits  from 
alumni  who  came  to  Durham  in  the  fall  to  enter  sons  and 
daughters  in  Duke. 


The  Homecoming  game  is  between  Duke  and  the  Uni- 
versity of  Virginia  on  October  27.  The  alumni  in  New 
York,  Newark,  and  the  Philadelphia  areas  are  discussing 
the  possibility  of  chartering  a  railway  car  so  that  they 
may  attend  the  Homecoming  game  in  a  group.  This 
seems  like  a  very  good  idea.  We  hope  alumni  in  other 
areas  will  do  the  same. 


There  are  many  changes  taking  place  on  the  campus. 
We  suggest,  when  you  return  for  your  next  visit,  that 
you  take  time  to  see  some  of  these  changes ;  namely,  the 
Ordnance  Division  which  has  taken  quarters  in  the  Hanes 
home;  the  foundation  hole  that  is  being  dug  for  a  new 
building  next  to  the  old  Physics  Building,  now  Social 
Science  Building;  the  Graduate  Dormitory  beyond  the 
Medical  School  on  Hospital  Drive ;  and  the  Nurses  Home 
being  made  possible  through  the  generosity  of  the  late 
Dr.  Fred  M.  Hanes  and  Mrs.  Hanes.

10  years  ago 

For  the  first  time  since  1918,  serv- 
icemen returned  to  the  campus  in  the 
form  of  110  freshmen  USNROTC  stu- 
dents. 

Duke  started  its  football  season  by 
beating  Wake  Forest  43-13! 

An  innovation  of  the  football  season 
was  the  addition  of  two  girls,  Toni 
Salley  and  Vivien  Driver,  as  cheer- 
leaders. The  unanimous  decision  to 
accept  girl  cheerleaders  made  the 
second  time  they  had  appeared  at  Duke. 
In  1935  two  girls  had  helped  lead 
cheers  during  one  game,  and  were 
henceforth  barred  from  such  "unlady- 
like" activities.  Oh,  yes  Word  Clark 
was  head  cheerleader. 

A  Chronicle  reporter  made  a  survey, 
finding  women's  skirts  shorter  than 
ever  (even  as  high  as  18  inches!) 

25  years  ago 

The  largest  freshman  class  up  to 
that  time  entered  the  University.  They 
came  650  strong. 

Duke  Blue  Devils  slaughtered  Guil- 
ford College  in  the  first  game  of  the 
season,  30-0. 

Three  students  entered  Duke  from 
Illinois,  having  learned  of  the  Uni- 
versity from  a  student  working  in 
Chicago  during  the  summer.  Students 
from  the  midwestern  states  seemed  to 
be  a  rarity  in  that  day. 

The  U.W.C.A.  children's  party  to 
welcome  the  freshmen  was  a  huge 
success.  Everyone  came  dressed  like 
a  kindergartner,  and  ring-around-the- 
rosy  and  other  games  made  a  hilarious 


50  years  ago 

Trinity  College  consisted  of  20 
buildings;  10  were  residences  and  10 
were  class  buildings. 

A  brand  new  library,  the  largest  col- 
lege library  in  the  state,  was  under 
construction. 

The  teaching  staff  consisted  of  11 
professors,  three  adjunct  professors, 
one  instructor,  one  lecturer,  three  as- 
sistants and  a  director  of  the  gym- 
nasium, making  23  in  all.  Some  of 
the  more  popular  ones  were  Professor 
Flowers,  Dr.  Mimms,  and  Dr.  Bassett. 

Enrollment  at  that  time  was  less 
than  200  students,  only  32  of  whom 
were  women.

Robert  Grumbine,  B.D.  '50 
Box  366 
Valdez,  Alaska 

After  having  arrived  at  this  mission 
parish  just  about  a  week  ago,  I  thought 
I  might  sit  down  and  let  you  all  know 
that  you  have  more  alumni  in  Alaska — 
or  are  we  the  first  ones?  I  use  "we" 
because  the  Mrs.  audited  a  semester's 
worth  of  courses  in  the  Divinity  School 
while  I  was  struggling  through  my  B.D. 
aside  from  working  a  year  in  the  library 
— so  it's  "our"  school. 

The  enclosed  postals  will  give  you  an 
idea  of  the  physical  facilities  here  but 
they  do  not  speak  to  the  spiritual  needs 
at  all.  Valdez,  a  town  of  about  600  souls, 
is  much  the  same  as  any  boom  town  dur- 
ing the  westward  movement  of  our  own 
U.S.  beyond  the  Mississippi  River.  All 
the  virtues  and  vices  are  to  be  found  that 
one  found  in  those  days — and  then  some. 
Most  of  the  settlers  are  content  to  live 
outside  the  Church  and  also  without  God 
— or  at  least  so  they  try  until  some  cata- 
strophic experience  rocks  them  to  their 
very  bones,  at  which  time  some  "get  re- 
ligion" in  a  very  emotional  way.  There 
is  so  very  much  to  be  done  here  that  the 
task  itself  tires  one  when  thinking  about 
it. 

Our  family  is  replacing  a  priest  who 
has  been  here  (The  Church  of  the  Epiph- 
any) in  Alaska  for  24  years  and  is  loved 
by  everyone.  He  is  a  celibate  and  a  very 
consecrated  Christian.  Filling  his  boots 
will  be  a  job  in  itself.  We  also  serve  St. 
Georges,  Cordova,  some  ninety  miles  as 
the  crow  flies — and  this  mission  is  served 


via  air.     We  find  that  all  of  Alaska  is 
air-minded. 

All  our  friends  at  Duke  have  a  stand- 
ing invitation  to  pay  us  a  visit — we'll 
house  and  feed  you  once  you  get  here!

It  is  most  interesting  to  learn  of  the 
inspiring  developments  which  have  been 
planned  for  Duke  University. 

I  understand  that  sterling  is  not  readily 
convertible  into  U.S.  dollars  but  I  do 
send  my  best  wishes  for  your  plans,  and 
also  my  new  address. 

(An  alumnus  recently  brought  a  B.O.S. 
key,  tohich  he  had  found,  to  the  Alumni 
Office.  The  only  identification  was  the\ 
initials  of  J.R.T.  and  the  class  of  19371 
engraiied  on  it.  By  checking  initials  of  all 
alumni  of  the  class  of  '37,  the  office  was, 
able  to  locate  the  owner.) 

John  R.  Timmons,  '37,  M.D.  '39 
1491  Taylor  Street 
Columbia  49,  S.  C. 

Thank  you  very  much  for  contacting 
me  regarding  the  found  B.O.S.  key.  lj 
know  that  mine  was  lost  some  years  age 
and  probably  the  one  you  have  belonged 
to  me.  I  was  in  the  class  of  1937  and  my 
initials  are  J.R.T.  I  don't  know  whethei 
there  were  any  other  J.R.T.'s  in  the  class 
or  not. 

You  are  to  be  congratulated  on  youi 
detective  work  in  locating  the  loser  ir 
this  case.  This  is  a  piece  of  public  rehv 
tions  work  which  is  a  credit  to  the  Duk(

A  New  Class 


September  fever,  a  recurrent  malady 
that  strikes  at  university  and  college  cam- 
puses when  autumn  mists  arise,  has  Duke 
firmly  in  its  grip. 

Throughout  the  middle  weeks  of  thej 
month,  struggling  lines  of  freshmen,  theii( 
skulls  adorned  by  gleaming  new  "dinks,* 
wound  through  the  corridors  of  the  Uni- 
versity's buildings  in  search  of  the  direc- 
tion essential  to  a  new  career.  Deans 
labored  heroically  to  keep  their  heads, 
above  the  inundation  and  at  the  same  time 
handle  each  of  the  new  arrivals  as  a  dis-j 
tinct  individual  whose  problems  wert 
unique. 

The  vanguard  of  upperclassmen,  OB 
hand  to  welcome  and  orient  their  greenei! 
colleagues,  was  more  recently  followed  bj 
sophomores,  juniors,  and  seniors  return- 
ing to  settle  into  another  year  of  lectures 
labs,  and  examinations. 

This  September  fever,  while  an  epi, 
demic  in  the  truest  sense,  is  nonetheless  i 
pleasantly  invigorating  disease,  and  ons 
from  which  victims  recover  in  short  ordei 
with  refreshed  perspectives  and  strength-, 
ened  purposes.  Its  cause  is  its  cure— 
an  injection  of  new  youth. 

The  1951-52  academic  year  begins  witl 
an  anticipated  small  decline  in  enrollmen' 
a  realized  fact.  Preliminary  estimates 
have  placed  the  number  of  students  at 
Duke  at  4,800,  including  3,510  men  anc 
1,390  women  on  both  graduate  and  un' 
dergraduate  levels.  This  is  a  drop  oi 
about  four  per  cent  over  September  oi 
last  year — a  percentage  considerably  les: 
than  the  national  average.  Undergradu- 
ate students  total  approximately  3,200. 

Chief  cause  for  the  decline  is  the  un; 
settled  situation  on  the  international  fron, 
and  the  draft,  reflected  by  the  fact  thai 
there  has  been  no  drop  at  all  among 
women,  only  among  men.  These  factors 
have  affected  upperclassmen  more  thai 
entering  freshmen.  The  approximately 
900  entering  students  represent  only  i 
small  drop  over  last  year. 

For  the  past  few  years  Duke  has  strainei 
its  facilities  to  the  utmost  to  accommo 
date  unprecedented  numbers  of  younj 
men  and  women  seeking  higher  education 
Eventual  stabilization  of  enrollment  wil 
probably  leave  the  University  with  a  sttf 
dent  body  totalling  around  5,000.  Sta 
bilization,  however,  is  expected  to  be 
tardy  arrival  as  long  as  38th  parallels 
nationalized  oil  industries,  and  kidnappe> 
correspondents  continue  to  affect  the  pic 
ture.

DUKE  ALTJMNI  REGISTER,  September,  1951 


Arrives — A  New  Year  Begins 


The  small  decrease  in  the  student  body 
has  had  practically  no  effect  on  one  of 
Duke's  most  serious  problems,  that  of 
dormitory  space.  The  average  age  of  col- 
lege students  is  now  younger,  with  war 
veterans  passing  from  the  scene.  Many 
G.I.'s  were  married  and  lived  off -campus 
with  their  families.  Their  replacements 
are  single  and  require  dormitory  living 
quarters. 

The  new  Graduate  Living  Center,  being 
pushed  to  completion,  will  solve  the  prob- 
fem,  however,  by  releasing  Few  Quad- 
rangle to  undergraduate  men. 

The  Faculty  Intact 

Duke  begins  the  new  year  with  a  facul- 
ty totalling  614  members.  There  has  been 
no  move  to  decrease  the  faculty  because: 
(1)  The  University  has  adopted  a  policy 
of  avoiding  dispersal  of  faculties  during 
the  present  emergency,  and  (2)  the  fall 
enrollment  does  not  warrant  it.  All  regu- 
lar faculty  members  are  being  retained 
and  replacements  made  as  needed. 

The  ratio  of  students  to  teachers  is 
slightly  less  than  eight  to  one,  one  of  the 
lowest  ratios  in  the  United  States  and 
one  that  amply  protects  the  University's 
tradition  of  giving  every  student  a  maxi- 
mum of  personal  attention,  both  in  and 
out  of  clasrooms. 

The  course  offerings  of  the  University 
remain  the  same  as  last  year,  unaffected 
by  enrollment  figures. 

A  possible  sign  of  the  times,  however, 
is  the  big  increase  in  military  training 
program  enrollment.  Last  year,  in  the 
Navy  R.O.T.C.  and  Air  Force  R.O.T.C. 
programs  there  was  a  total  of  659  stu- 
dents. This  year  begins  with  1,055  mid- 
shipmen and  cadets  on  the  campus. 

Welcome,  Class  of  1955 

Orientation  Week  for  freshmen  began 
Thursday,  Sept.  13.  Special  assemblies, 
open  houses,  and  recreational  events  en- 
abled new  students  to  become  acquainted 
with  the  University  and  its  men  and 
women.  Serious  business  was  undertaken, 
as  well,  and  almost  immediately.  A  stiff 
round  of  placement  tests  and  physical 
examinations  kept  freshmen  busy  and 
helped  fit  them  into  suitable  niches,  from 
which  they  can  begin,  in  stable  surround- 
ings, to  absorb  the  offerings  of  the  faculty. 

The  freshmen  are  an  impressive  crop. 
Youngsters  who  have  measured  up  to 
Duke's  high  entrance  standards,  members 
of  the  class  of  1955  come  from  virtually 


every  one  of  the  48  states  and  from  a 
number  of  foreign  countries. 

Their  entrance  into  the  University  com- 
munity, and  their  assimilation  into  cam- 
pus life,  is  being  greatly  facilitated  by 
the  splendid  work  of  the  Y.M.C.A.,  which 
for  years  has  made  a  practice  of  greeting 
new  students  each  September  and  making 
them  feel  at  home. 

The  familiar  signs,  "Ask  a  Y  man,'' 
are  posted  on  trees  and  in  corridors 
throughout  the  campus.  The  "Y's"  Hand- 
book has  been  distributed  to  the  new  class, 
and  friendly  upperclassmen  of  the  organi- 
zation are  constantly  on  hand  to  answer 


HOMECOMING 

Duke's  annual  Homecoming  Day  will 
take  place  October  27  when  the  Blue 
Devils  meet  Virginia  in  Duke  Stadium. 
Traditional  and  special  events  have 
been  planned  for  the  week  end.  The 
College  of  Engineering  alumni  will 
hold  their  Homecoming  on  the  same 
day  with  a  meeting  in  the  Engineering 
Building  for  alumni  and  a  coffee  hour 
for  the  wives  at  10 :30  a.m. 


questions  that  range  from  "Where  do  we 
buy  books?"  to  "Can  I  keep  my  airedale 
in  the  dorm?" 

Duke  and  Durham  boast  of  one  of  the 
finest  town-and-gown  relationships  any- 
where in  the  U.  S.  Evidence  of  this  came 
early  to  the  class  of  '55. 

Mayor  E.  J.  Evans  extended  the  city's 
official  welcome  in  letters  to  freshmen 
early  in  September.  On  Monday,  Sept. 
17,  the  third  annual  Duke  Freshman  Day 
was  observed  under  the  auspices  of  Dur- 
ham merchants.  Information  booths  down- 
town and  favors  distributed  by  some 
stores  characterized  the  city's  hospitable 
efforts  to  familiarize  freshmen  with  their 
new  home. 

Everyone  cooperated  in  this  welcoming 
endeavor  but  the  perpetually  stubborn 
weather  man.  After  a  summer  in  which 
rain  was  as  scarce  as  live  crossopterygies, 
the  clouds  accumulated  overhead  to  emit 
a  dull  gray  light  and  a  fine  drizzle. 

It  was  not,  however,  a  drizzle  penetra- 
tive enough  to  dampen  spirits  nor  subdue 
activity,  and  the  new  school  year  has 
been  launched  in  a  manner  to  delight  the 
most  cynical  professor  and  the  most  be- 
wildered freshman. 


Lincoln  David  Kraeuter,  West  Orange,  N.  J.,  senior  engineer  and  NROTC  mid- 
shipman, raises  the  flag  which  symbolizes  the  official  opening  of  school  on  East 
Campus.  Watching  the  ceremony  are  Alice  Youmans,  Miami,  Fla.,  president  of 
the  women's  senior  class,  and  President  Hollis  Edens.

Development  Campaign  Is  in  Homestretch 


The  most  triumphant  chapter  in  the 
history  of  Duke's  alumni  organizations — 
that  is  the  story  of  the  Duke  University 
Development  Campaign  as  it  enters  its 
final  phase  this  month. 

Through  the  energetic  and  devoted  ac- 
tivity of  the  University's  former  students 
in  all  parts  of  the  country,  and  even  in 
foreign  lands,  the  Campaign's  immediate 
goal  of  $8,650,000  has  been  whittled  down 
to  where  a  comparatively  few  more  dol- 
lars will  mean  complete  and  unqualified 
success. 

The  final  months  of  the  program  begin 
with  less  than  $1,000,000  remaining  to  be 
raised.  More  than  $7,680,000  is  now  a 
matter  of  record,  and  Duke's  program  of 
"Brains,  Books,  and  Bricks"  is  well  under- 
way. The  dollars  that  have  been  contrib- 
uted have  been  put  to  work.  The  needs 
that  President  Edens  called  "urgent  and 
necessary"  are  being  met  as  funds  become 
available,  and  a  greater  Duke  equipped  to 
give  greater  service  is  becoming  a  reality. 

But  a  Job  Remains 

Although  the  campaign  is  nearing  its 
goal,  there  is  still  a  great  deal  to  be  done. 
This  was  clearly  brought  out  on  Septem- 
ber 9  when  Campaign  leaders  from 
throughout  North  Carolina  and  neighbor- 
ing states  met  on  the  campus  to  formally 
launch  the  drive's  final  phase. 

The  meeting,  held  in  the  ballroom  of 
the  West  Campus  Union,  was  presided 
over  by  Kenneth  M.  Brim,  '20,  of  Greens- 
boro, N.  C,  immediate  past  chairman  of 
the  National  Council  and  chairman  of 
the  Guilford  County  campaign.  Presi- 
dent Edens  spoke  on  the  Development 
Program's  progress,  what  it  was  doing 
for  the  University,  and  how  essential  it 
is  that  the  drive  be  pushed  forward  to  a 
successful  conclusion. 

The  President  pointed  out  that  of  the 
$3,000,000  the  University  has  been  offered 
on  a  contingent  basis,  approximately 
$1,000,000  must  still  be  raised  to  complete 
the  matching  fund.  This  $3,000,000,  half 
of  which  was  tendered  by  the  General 
Education  Board  of  the  Rockefeller  Foun- 
dation and  half  by  an  anonymous  donor, 
is  included  in  the  announced  total  of  the 
Campaign's  progress. 

The  remaining  months  of  the  drive, 
President  Edens  reminded  campaign  lead- 
ers, are  doubly  important.  The  amount 
that  must  be  raised  to  reach  the  goal  is 
also  the  amount  that  must  be  raised  to 
match  the  contingent  gifts. 

"This  means,"  he  added,  "that  for  every 


dollar  that  Duke  receives  from  alumni  and 
friends  between  now  and  December  31, 
another  dollar  will  be  made  available 
through  this  matching  arrangement.  In 
other  words,  every  pledge  that  an  alumnus 
makes  automatically  doubles  itself  when 
the  University  receives  it." 

Alonzo  C.  Edwards,  '25,  of  Hookerton, 
N.  C,  chairman  of  the  National  Council 
this  year,  called  for  every  alumnus  and 
alumna  who  has  not  yet  participated  in 
the  Campaign  to  respond  to  calls  within 
the  next  few  weeks,  as  they  are  made  in 
personal  canvasses  and  through  mailings 
from  headquarters. 

"This  is  the  way,"  he  said,  "to  put  this 
drive  over  the  top — to  get  every  one  of 
us  to  give — and  to  give  as  much  as  pos- 
sible— before  the  final  day  arrives." 

Signs  of  Progress 

Signs  of  the  Development  Campaign's 
progress  are  evident  all  over  the  campus 
this  fall.  Striking  the  observer's  eye  most 
forcefully  are  the  new  buildings  that  are 
moving  along  toward  completion. 

The  Graduate  Living  Center,  which  will 
relieve  the  critical  shortage  of  dormitory 
space,  has  assumed  a  shell  of  brick  and 
stone,  and  work  on  finishing  the  interior 
will  soon  begin. 

The  Classroom  and  Administration 
Building,  right  now  represented  by  a  deep 
hole  and  mountains  of  dirt,  is  expected  to 
move  skyward  in  the  near  future.  Other 
buildings — the  new  nurses'  home  and  the 
wing  for  the  atomic  reactor  on  the  Phys- 
ics Building — add  to  the  general  air  of 
progress,  although  not  a  direct  part  of  the 
Development  Campaign. 

The  President  has  called  attention  to 
other  results,  while  not  so  apparent,  that 
reach  into  the  heart  of  the  University. 
New  funds  are  becoming  available  for 
scholarships,  fellowships,  professorships, 
and  research  and  teaching. 

Dr.  Edens,  at  the  September  9  meeting, 
said  that  while  the  "Bricks"  of  the  pro- 
gram were  listed  last  in  the  order  of 
things  to  be  done,  current  conditions  re- 
garding building  and  prospective  short- 
ages dictated  that  work  be  pushed  ahead 
as  rapidly  as  possible  on  these  essential 
projects.  He  added  that  this  is  being  done 
in  confidence  that  funds  for  the  "Brains 
and. Books"  part  of  the  program  will  be 
forthcoming.  To  date,  this  confidence  has 
been  admirably  justified. 

Campaign  Plans 

The   fall   campaign,   officially   launched 


by  the  campus  meeting,  is  getting  under- 
way with  a  mailing  to  all  alumni.  Th< 
bulletin,  already  mailed,  contains  messages 
from  President  Edens  and  from  the  Na- 
tional Chairman,  Benjamin  F.  Pew,  '14 
A.M.  '16.  Also  included  is  a  list  of  con- 
tributors between  May  10  and  August  If 
and  a  summary  of  plans  for  the  remain- 
ing weeks  of  the  Campaign. 

Local  campaigns  will  be  conducted  ir 
all  areas  of  the  country  where  Duk< 
alumni  live  in  comparatively  large  num- 
bers and  where  campaigns  were  not  started

Goal  by  Founders  Day? 

In  these  and  other  regions  campaigns 
are  rapidly  getting  underway  and  early 
results  are  good.  In  a  number  of  other 
regions,  where  campaigns  were  not  com- 
pleted last  year,  they  are  being  reacti- 
vated for  clean-up  drives. 

Campaign  leaders  everywhere  are  mak- 
ing an  effort  to  reach  their  goals  by 
Founders  Day,  December  11,  so  that  it 
can  then  be  reported  that  Duke  Univer- 
sity's Development  Campaign  is  over  the 
top. 

Meanwhile,  special  mailings  are  planned 
for  alumni  and  alumnae  in  areas  where 


Among  those  attending  the  campus  Development  Campaign  meeting  on  Septem- 
ber 9  were,  left  to  right,  N.  E.  Edgerton,  '21,  University  trustee  and  chairman  of  the 
Wake  County  campaign;  Alonzo  C.  Edwards,  '25,  of  Hookerton,  N.  C,  chairman  of 
the  National  Council;  President  Edens;  Kenneth  M.  Brim,  '20,  Law  '21,  chairman 
of  the  Guilford  County  campaign;  and  Blanche  Barringer  Brian  (Mrs.  Earl  W.), 
'22,  A.M.  '31,  general  canvass  chairman  in  Wake  County. 


local  campaigns  are  not  practicable  by 
reason  of  distance  or  lack  of  concentrated 
numbers.  Class  agents,  who  served  the 
Loyalty  Fund  with  such  splendid  results, 
are  assuming  the  responsibility  for  class- 
mates in  such  areas.  Their  first  pleas  for 
gifts  will  go  out  in  October. 

The  picture  is  bright.     Success,  which 


rests  with  the  spirit,  energy,  and  gener- 
osity of  the  University's  former  students, 
seems  virtually  assured. 

When  a  new  year  arrives,  the  alumni 
of  Duke  University  will  be  able  to  point, 
with  a  justifiable  boast,  to  a  tremendously 
important  job  that  has  been  magnificently 
accomplished.

Memphis,  Tenn. 

The  home  of  the  new  president,  Dr. 
Jack  Greenfield,  '36,  was  the  scene  of  the 
fourth  annual  Duke  Club  of  Memphis 
picnic  recently.  Broiled  steaks  ruled  the 
day  and  helped  to  keep  interest  in  the 
Club's  projects  fever  high. 

Several  members  of  the  recently  gradu- 
ated class  were  welcomed  and  reminded 
that  the  club  meets  monthly  at  the  homes 
of  its  various  members.  Much  interest  is 
fostered  by  having  speakers  of  local  and 
world-wide  importance,  movies,  card  par- 
ties, and,  of  course,  the  annual  winter 
dance. 

Other  new  officers  for  the  coming  year 


are  W.  H.  Heddesheimer,  '40,  vice-presi- 
dent; Janice  Greenfield  (Mrs.  Jack),  sec- 
retary-treasurer, and  Morton  Gubin,  '45, 
corresponding  secretary. 

Mecklenburg  County 

Professor  W.  J.  Seeley,  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Electrical  Engineering,  and  David 
H.  Henderson,  '35,  LL.B.  '37,  representa- 
tive of  Mecklenburg  County  in  the  State 
Legislature  and  a  Charlotte,  N.  C,  at- 
torney, spoke  to  the  Mecklenburg  County 
Duke  Alumni  Association  on  August  2  at 
the  monthly  meeting  at  Thacker's  restau- 
rant. Mr.  Henderson's  subject  was  "Gov- 
ernmental Dollar  Day,"  the  inner  work- 
ings of  the  State  Legislature  at  Raleigh. 
Dr.  Seeley  explained  the  new  group-dona- 
tion blood  program,  which  is  jointly  spon- 
sored by  alumni  groups  and  the  American 
Red  Cross.

Duke  alumni  and  students  were  tne 
first  in  a  series  of  college  donors  to  the 
Red  Cross  Blood  Center  in  Charlotte  on 
August  21.  Stuart  W.  Elliott,  '50,  was 
chairman  of  the  alumni  committee  that 
organized  the  donations.  Ruth  Nance, 
'51,  was  in  charge  of  contacting  students 
now  enrolled  at  the  University,  and  was 
assisted  by  Mabel  Ruth  Nease,  Duke  soph- 
omore. 

Officers  of  the  association  are  S.  R. 
Brookshire,  '27,  president ;  Walter  Canipe, 
'34,  vice-president;  Webb  Bost,  '40,  sec- 
retary; Guy  S.  Chesick,  '48,  treasurer; 
Mattie  Spence  Simpson  (Mrs.  James  R.), 
'26,  representative  to  the  Alumnae  Coun- 
cil; and  Elizabeth  Blair,  '50,  correspond- 
ing secretary. 


Steel  for  Leather 

Billy  Cox,  '51,  who  holds  the  Blue 
Devil  record  for  gridiron  yardage  in 
a  single  season,  examines  the  steel 
helmet  that  temporarily  replaces  the 
more  familiar  leather  one.  At  the 
Navy  Reserve  Officer  Candidate  School 
at  Treasure  Island,  San  Francisco, 
Calif.,  he  recently  completed  a  six- 
week  course  before  scheduled  to  join 
the  Washington  Redskins  for  a  "fling" 
with  pro-football.  And  "fling"  it  will 
be,  if  he  continues  to  pass  in  Wash- 
ington as  he  did  at  Duke.

Ordnance  Research  Center  Comes  to  Duke 


Duke  University  has  been  named  the 
site  of  a  newly  organized,  permanent  Of- 
fice of  Ordnance  Research,  which  will  di- 
rect a  nation-wide  research  program  and 
will  serve  as  a  scientific  clearing  house 
for  all  basic  research  of  potential  interest 
to  the  U.S.  Army  Ordnance  Corps. 

The  Ordnance  Corps  designs  and  pro- 
duces artillery,  small  arms,  rocket  launch- 
ers and  their  respective  forms  of  ammu- 
nition. It  has  chosen  Duke  as  the  seat  of 
its  research  office  because  of  "local  scien- 
tific activities,  technical  information  avail- 
able here  through  scientific  consultants, 
laboratories  and  libraries,  and  because  of 
the  regional  density  of  available  scien- 
tists and  other  facilities."  The  Univer- 
sity, therefore,  receives  another  and  highly 
significant  commendation  for  its  scientific 
programs. 

Dr.  Marcus  E.  Hobbs,  professor  of 
chemistry,  is  now  serving  as  acting  chief 


scientist  for  the  office.  His  staff  includes 
12  other  scientists  who,  with  outside  spe- 
cialists and  ordnance  personnel,  are  eval- 
uating basic  research  programs  and 
awarding  research  contracts. 

The  staff  will  eventually  consist  of 
about  15  scientists  and  25  technical  and 
administrative  personnel.  Educational  and 
industrial  research  institutions  over  the 
nation  have  been  invited  to  submit  pro- 
posals for  research  projects,  which  will 
be  integrated  into  the  institutions'  exist- 
ing research  programs  and  used  in  train- 
ing graduate  research  students. 

Commanding  officer  of  the  unit  is  Col. 
Walker  W.  Holler,  a  native  of  Cornwell, 
S.  C.  Col.  Holler  attended  Wofford  Col- 
lege in  Spartanburg,  S.  C,  and  received 
the  B.S.  degree  from  the  U.  S.  Naval 
Academy  in  1924,  after  which  he  took 
ordnance  post-graduate  work  at  M.I.T. 
During  World  War  II  he  occupied  a  key 


position  in  the  office  of  the  Chief  of 
Ordnance  and  was  a  consultant  during 
the  Potsdam  Conference  in  1945.  He  is 
the  son  of  the  Rev.  A.  E.  Holler,  now 
a  resident  of  Lake  Junaluska,  N.  C. 

Research  projects  will  be  evaluated  and 
contracts  awarded  in  accordance  with 
their  relation  not  only  to  specific  ordnance 
problems,  but  also  to  "frontier  areas  of 
science  where  results  are  likely  to  affect 
strongly  all  human  affairs,  including-  war- 
fare.'' 

During  September,  15  top  scientists 
from  Ordnance  Corps  arsenals  over  the 
United  States  met  at  Duke  for  a  policy 
conference  at  which  a  balanced  materials 
research  program  for  1951-52  was  worked 
out. 

The  office  is  located  at  2127  Myrtle 
Drive,  the  former  Hanes  House,  near  the 
main  entrance  to  West  Campus. 


DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  September,  1951 


[  Page  217 ] 


New  Scholarships  Are  Announced 


This  month  the  University  announced 
that  three  new  regional  scholarships,  two 
for  men  and  one  for  women,  have  been 
established,  and  that  the  first  awards 
will  be  made  this  year  to  become  effective 
next   September. 

The  new  prizes  will  be  for  students 
residing  in  Virginia,  the  District  of  Co- 
lumbia, and  parts  of  Maryland.  Each 
will  be  worth  $750  a  year  to  the  recipient, 
and,  as  long  as  the  awardee  remains 
qualified,  it  will  provide  financial  assist- 
ance over  the  four-year  undergraduate 
period.  The  maximum  value,  therefore, 
is  $3,000. 

The  regions  in  which  annual  awards 
will  be  made  are  as  follows : 

Region  I  for  men :  The  District  of  Co- 
lumbia ;  the  Virginia  counties  of  Albe- 
marle, Augusta,  Clarke,  Culpeper,  Fair- 
fax, Farquer,  Frederick,  Greene,  High- 
land, King  George,  Loudoun,  Madison, 
Orange,  Page,  Prince  William,  Rappa- 
hannock, Rockingham,  Shenandoah, 
Spotsylvania,  Stafford,  Wan-en.  and 
Westmoreland ;  and  the  Maryland  coun- 
ties of  Montgomery  and  Prince  Georges. 

Region  II  for  men  :  The  State  of  Vir- 
ginia excluding  those  counties  com- 
prising a  part  of  Region  I. 

Region  I  for  women :  The  State  of  Vir- 
ginia, District  of  Columbia,  and  Mont- 
gomery and  Prince  Georges  Counties  of 
Maryland. 

Objective  and  Basis  of  Award 

These  new  regional  scholarships  were 
founded  as  part  of  the  University's  pro- 
gram to  attract  students  of  exceptional 
ability  from  throughout  the  United 
States,  with  emphasis  on  the  Southeast- 
ern  section. 

To  quote  the  official  announcement : 
"The  scholarships  are  intended  to  en- 
courage as  students  young  men  and 
women  who  give  promise  of  becoming 
leaders  in  their  chosen  fields  of  endeavor. 
As  potential  leaders,  they  should  possess 
character,  personality,  intellectual  in- 
tegrity, vitality,  and  imagination.  As 
students  they  should  possess  scholastic- 
ability  of  a  creative  sort  and  minds  that 
can  digest  and  use  the  knowledge  they 
acquire.  The  scholarships  are  designed 
to  stimulate  young  men  and  women  who 
possess  these  traits  to  become  citizens 
with  a  genuine  interest  in  society  and 
with  ability  to  influence  and  direct  the 
course  of  affairs." 

Specific  requirements  of  eligibility  are 


also  set  forth  in  the  announcement. 

The  recipient  must  have  graduated 
from  a  secondary  school  with  a  record 
that  placed  him  in  the  upper  25  per  cent 
of  the  class  in  scholastic  standing.  He 
must  have  college  aptitude  as  shown  by 
tests.  The  breadth  of  the  student's  in- 
terests and  his  native  ability  will  be  in- 
dicated by  extra-curricular  activities,  their 
nature,  quantity,  and  degree  of  success 
attained  in  each  one. 

Particular  reference  will  be  made  to 
the  display  of  leadership  ability  through 
church  and  other  organizational  activities. 
Personality,  poise,  stability,  and  vitality 
will  be  determined  in  personal  interviews 
with  University  personnel. 

Alumni  Will  Help 

The  University's  former  students,  who 
reside  in  the  regions  of  the  awards,  will 
be  able  to  give  valuable  assistance  in 
selecting  awardees  for  these  new  prizes. 

They  will  be  asked  to  recommend  candi- 
dates of  whom  they  are  aware  in  local 
high  and  preparatory  schools,  and,  in 
general,  to  encourage  promising  young 
men  and  women  to  apply  for  the  scholar- 
ships. It  is  believed  that  competition  for 
the  awards  will  arouse  a  greater  interest 
in  Duke  in  the  regions  involved,  and  that 
students  who  are  eliminated  when  awards 
are  made  may  still  be  attracted  to  the 
University. 

Those  applicants  who  are  eliminated  by 
virtue  of  competing  with  other  students 
of  superior  qualifications,  it  is  believed, 
will  for  the  most  part  be  the  sort  of 
students  the  University  is  particularly 
desirous  of  enrolling.  Those  who  do 
possess  high  qualifications,  and  who  need 
financial  assistance,  will  be  encouraged 
to  apply  for  other  scholarships  or  to  seek 
financial  aid  through  loan  funds  and 
other  sources. 

Alumni  will  be  asked  to  help  in  an- 
other connection,  too. 

It  is  planned  to  interview  each  candi- 
date in  his  or  her  home  area  before 
campus  interviews  are  conducted.  These 
interviews  are  to  be  held  with  a  repre- 
sentative of  Duke  and  with  a  former  stu- 
dent of  the  University  who  is  familiar 
with  the  candidate's  background  and 
accomplishments. 

These  new  regional  scholarships  are 
similar,  in  value  and  in  the  qualifications 
of  applicants,  to  the  Angier  B.  Duke 
Regional  Prizes  for  men  and  women  in 
Xorth  Carolina. 


Dr.  James  H.  Phillips,  '33 

Dr.  J.  H.  Phillips  Becomes 
Chaplain  to  the  University 

A  new  office  has  been  created  on  the 
Duke  campus,  and  a  popular  preacher 
has  been  chosen  to  fill  it.  Dr.  James  H. 
Phillips,  '33,  director  of  religious  activi- 
ties, has  been  appointed  Chaplain  to  the 
University. 

As  Chaplain,  Dr.  Phillips  will  be  the 
chief  administrative  officer  of  student  re- 
ligious activities  and  will  supervise  the 
work  of  two  associates  in  charge  of  re- 
ligious activities  on  East  and  West  Cam- 
puses, and  the  work  of  the  University's 
five  denominational  chaplains. 

Other  duties  of  the  Chaplain  will  be  to 
serve  as  chairman  of  the  administrative 
committee  of  the  Chapel  and  be  respon- 
sible for  all  regular  services  in  the  Chapel. 
Dr.  Phillips  will  also  preach  periodically 
during  the  year  and  will  serve  as  pastor 
to  the  students.  He  will  continue  on  the 
faculty  as  assistant  professor  of  Biblical 
literature. 

President  Edens  said,  "Dr.  Phillips  will 
share  the  responsibility,  with  the  preach- 
ers to  the  University  and  the  dean  of  the 
Divinity  School,  of  representing  the  Uni- 
versity in  an  official  capacity  from  time 
to  time." 

A  native  of  Charlotte,  N,  C,  Dr.  Phil- 
lips joined  the  Duke  staff  in  1946.  Hav- 
ing completed  his  undergraduate  work  at 
Duke,  he  later  attended  the  Duke  Divinity 
School.  He  received  the  B.D.  and  Ph.D. 
degrees  from  Tale  University  in  1936  and 
1942.  Before  returning  to  Duke,  he  taught 
at  the  American  University  in  Washing- 
ton, D.  C,  and  was  associate  pastor  of 
the  Foundrv  Methodist  Church  in  Wash-

ington  in  1942-43.  From  1938-42  he  was 
associate  pastor  of  the  First  Congrega- 
tional Church  in  Waterbury,  Conn.  Dur- 
ing World  War  II,  Dr.  Phillips  served  as 
chaplain  in  the  Second  Air  Force. 

Dr.  Phillips  holds  membership  in  the 
Western  North  Carolina  Conference  of 
the  Methodist  Church,  Biblical  Literature, 
and  Omicron  Delta  Kappa,  National  lead- 
ership fraternity. 

He  is  married  to  the  former  Miss  Alice 
Searight  of  Washington,  D.  C. 

High  Blood  Pressure  Cause 

The  discovery  of  a  hitherto  unknown 
compound  that  may  be  the  basic  cause 
for  high  blood  pressure  has  been  reported 
by  Dr.  Philip  Handler,  professor  of  bio- 
chemistry, and  Dr.  Frederick  Bernheim, 
professor  of  pharmacology. 

The  co-discoverers  reported  the  results 
of  their  four-year  search  to  the  annual 
meeting  of  the  Federation  of  American 
Societies  for  Experimental  Biology.  Ex- 
periments with  rats  led  to  the  finding  that 
the  compound,  called  a  "pressor"  sub- 
stance, is  linked  with  the  action  of  the 
kidneys.  Normally  it  is  excreted  from 
the  body  in  the  urine,  but  when  kidneys 
are  damaged  it  stays  in  the  body  and 
causes  high  blood  pressure. 

Through  a  series  of  operations  on  rat 
kidneys,  and  by  the  administering  of  spe- 
cial diets  to  these  rats,  they  found  that 
rats  with  damaged  kidneys  were  develop- 
ing high  blood  pressure  apparently  be- 
cause their  kidneys  could  not  excrete 
some  damaging  substance.  By  some 
tricky  detective  work  they  identified  the 
substance  as  a  new  compound.  They  can 
now  measure  it  and  can  concentrate  it  in 
solution.     Further  studies  are  under  way. 

It  is  thought  that  the  discovery  may 
settle  the  long  standing  issue  of  whether 
or  not  all  high  blood  pressure  is  caused  by 
kidney  trouble.

William  Neal  Reynolds,  '86,  a  Univer- 
sity Trustee  since  1927,  and  retired  chair- 
man of  the  executive  committee  of  the 
R.  J.  Reynolds  Tobacco  Company,  died 
September  10  in  a  Winston-Salem  hos- 
pital. He  was  88  years  old.  The  funeral 
was  held  at  the  First  Presbyterian  Church 
in  Winston-Salem,  and  burial  was  in 
Salem  Cemetery. 

"Mr.  Will,"  as  his  friends  always  called 
him,  was  a  great  harness  racing  enthusi- 
ast, and  was,  in  fact,  stricken  by  his  last 
illness  a  month  before  his  death  at  the 
Hambletonian  race  meeting  in  Goshen, 
N.  Y. 

With  Mr.  Reynolds  passed  an  era  of 
advancement  for  Southern  economy,  for 
he  was  a  member  of  the  original  group  of 
men  who  helped  industrialize  North  Caro- 
lina by  laying  the  groundwork  of  a  vast 
tobacco  industry  in  the  late  19th  century. 
A  native  of  Patrick  County,  Va.,  Mr. 
Reynolds  entered  the  tobacco  business  in 
partnership  with  his  older  brother, 
Richard  Joshua  Reynolds,  and  Henry 
Roan  in  1888.  The  R.  J.  Reynolds  To- 
bacco Company  is  now  famous  for  its 
manufacture  of  Camel  cigarettes.  Mr. 
Reynolds  became  head  of  the  leaf  pur- 
chasing department  and  a  member  of  the 
board  of  directors,  and  rose  to  the  vice- 
presidency  in  1889.  In  1918  he  became 
president,  and  in  1924,  chairman  of  the 
board  of  directors.  From  1931  until  his 
retirement  in  1942,  he  was  chairman  of 
the  executive  committee.  In  addition  he 
was  a  director  of  the  Wachovia  Bank  and 
Trust  Company. 

Mr.  Reynolds  attended  Trinity  College 
from  1882  until  1884  when  the  College 
was  located  in  Randolph  County.  As  a 
Trustee,  he  was  also  a  member  of  the 
executive  committee  of  the  board. 

On  March  6,  1889,  Mr.  Reynolds  was 
married  to  the  former  Kate  G.  Bitting. 
The  couple  had  no  children.  Mrs.  Reyn- 
olds died  in  1946.  Before  her  death,  they 
gave  the  Kate  Bitting  Reynolds  Memorial 
Hospital  for  Negroes  in  Winston-Salem. 

■  A  great  philanthropist,  Mr.  Reynolds 
preferred  to  have  his  beneficence  go  un- 
publicized.  Some  of  his  gifts  included  a 
$340,000  supplement  to  the  salaries  of 
department  heads  at  North  Carolina  State 
College ;  $100,000  toward  a  new  library  in 
Winston-Salem;     $75,000     for    the    high 


W.  N.  Reynolds, 


school  at  Critz,  Patrick  County,  Va. ;  and 
$100,000  to  the  Glade  Valley  School,  a 
Presbyterian  school  for  mountain  children 
at  Roaring  Gap,  N.  C.  He  also  made 
generous  gifts  to  other  North  Carolina 
educational  institutions  including  Duke 
University,  Wake  Forest  and  Davidson 
College.  He  left  an  1100-acre  estate  to 
Winston-Salem  and  Forsyth  County,  and 
funds  for  its  upkeep,  for  a  public  park 
in  his  will. 

The  William  Neal  Reynolds  Coliseum 
at  State  College  in  Raleigh,  which  is 
named  in  honor  of  him,  was  built  in  part 
by  funds  donated  by  Mr.  Reynolds'  niece, 
Mrs.  Charles  Babcock,  the  former  Mary 
Reynolds,  for  whom  he  named  one  of  his 
great  harness  horses. 

Mr.  Reynolds  made  his  home  at  Tangle- 
wood  Farms,  just  outside  of  Winston- 
Salem,  where  he  kept  a  large  stable.  In 
1922,  following  an  operation,  his  doctor 
prescribed  plenty  of  fresh  air  and  exer- 
cise for  swift  recovery,  and  Mr.  Reynolds 
became  interested  in  harness  racing.  He 
would  work  behind  his  horses  at  least  25 
miles  a  day,  and  became  one  of  the  keen- 
est trainers  in  the  country.  Several  of 
his  horses  won  the  Hambletonian.  Dur- 
ing the  winters,  he  maintained  a  stable 
in  Orlando,  Fla.

The  Finer  Things  of  Life 

by   Frances   Gray  Pattern,  '26..     Dodd, 

Mead  and  Company. 

Frances  Gray  Pattern,  '26,  wife  of  Pro- 
fessor Lewis  Patton  of  the  English  De- 
partment, has  written  a  collection  of 
short  stories  which  will  be  published  next 
month  by  Dodd,  Mead  and  Company  un- 
der the  title   The  Finer  Things  of  Life. 

Mrs.  Patton  is  a  frequent  contributor 
to  The  New  Yorker  and  other  national 
magazines.  In  1944  she  won  second  place 
among  1,140  entries  in  a  short  story  con- 
test conducted  by  The  Kenyon  Review 
and  Doubleday,  Doran  and  Company.  In 
1945  one  of  her  stories  was  published  in 
the  0.  Henry  Memorial  Award  Prize 
Stories  Collection,  and  last  year  another 
included  in  a  ten-year  anthology  The 
Best  New  Yorker  Stories,  1940-1950. 

The  Finer  Things  of  Life,  Mrs.  Pat- 
ton's  first  book,  will  contain  a  number  of 
sketches  about  her  own  Southern  child- 
hood and  her  life  in  a  Southern  university 
town. 

The  Ragged  Ones 

by    Burke    Davis,    '35.     Binehart    and 

Company. 

The  Bagged  Ones,  by  Burke  Davis,  '35, 
is  the  first  major  work  of  fiction  to  deal 
with  the  neglected  campaign  from  Cow- 
pens  to  Guilford  Court  House  which  did 
so  much  to  break  British  military  power 
in  America  during  the  Revolutionary 
War. 

The  book  tells  the  story  of  the  breath- 
less retreat  of  General  Greene  before 
Cornwallis  in  the  1781  Revolutionary 
campaign  in  North  Carolina,  and  the 
grim  daily  lives  of  the  men,  women  and 
slaves  with  the  two  armies.  Some  of  its 
scenes  are  laid  in  the  Durham  area,  no- 
tably the  account  of  the  British  occupa- 
tion of  Hillsboro,  and  the  massacre  of 
several  hundred  Tories  under  Colonel 
Pyle  in  Alamance  County. 

Burke  Davis,  a  native  of  Durham,  at- 
tended both  Duke  and  the  University  of 
North  Carolina.  For  10  years  he  was  a 
newspaperman  in  Charlotte.  He  began 
research  on  the  novel  about  10  years  ago. 

The  Literature  of   the  American 

People 

Co-author,  Dr.   Clarence   Gohdes.    Ap- 

pleton-Century-Crofts,  Inc. 

Dr.  Clarence  Gohdes,  professor  of 
American  literature  at  Duke,  is  the  author 
of  one  of  four  sections  of  a  recently  pub- 
lished American  literary  history. 

The    book,    entitled    The   Literature    of 


BOOKS 


the  American  People,  and  published  by 
Appleton-Century-Crofts,  Inc.,  presents  a 
comprehensive  discussion  of  American 
writing  since  Colonial  times.  It  empha- 
sizes the  relation  of  writing  to  painting, 
sculpture,  architecture,  politics  and  social 
movements,  and  includes  the  first  treat- 
ment of  drama  as  a.  vital  part  of  Ameri- 
can literature. 

Co-authors  with  Dr.  Gohdes  are  Dr. 
George  F.  Whicher,  director  of  American 
studies  at  Amherst;  Dr.  Kenneth  B.  Mur- 
doek,  senior  professor  of  American  litera- 
ture at  Harvard;  and  Dr.  Arthur  H.

vania. 

A  member  of  the  Duke  University  fac- 
ulty since  1930,  Dr.  Gohdes  is  managing

Discovering  Children's  Interests 

Co-author,  Dr.  G.  Frederick  Kuder.  Sci- 
ence Besearch  Associates,  Chicago. 
Dr.  G.  Frederick  Kuder,  Duke  psy- 
chologist, and  Miss  Blanee  E.  Paulson, 
Chicago  public  school  guidance  super- 
visor, have  collaborated  in  writing  a  book 
entitled  "Discovering  Children's  Inter- 
ests.'' Of  principal  interest  to  parents, 
the  authors  point  out  that  elders  must 
understand  the  interests  of  their  offspring 
in  order  to  do  an  intelligent  job  of  guid- 
ance. 

They  develop  the  point  that  the  inter- 
ests of  children,  besides  their  importance 
in  shaping  careers,  can  play  a  big  part 
in  satisfying  the  basic  need  of  youngsters 
for  security,  adventure  and  creative  self- 
expression. 

Dr.  Kuder  has  been  a  member  of  the 
Duke  psychology  faculty  since  1948.  He 
is  the  author  of  the  famed  Kuder  Prefer- 
ence Record  for  vocation  and  career 
guidance. 


Legal  Drafting

Robert  N.   Cook,  LL.B.  '36,  professor 
of    law    at-  Western    Reserve    University 
School   of   Law,   has   completed   the   first 
text  covering  the  subject  of  Legal  Draft- 


ing,   which   has    been    published    by   the

The  book,  highlighting  such  subjects  as 
legal  composition,  simple  agreements,  or- 
ganization of  corporations,  and  others, 
has  been  selected  for  use  in  law  school 
courses  as  well  as  for  reference  use  by 
practicing  attorneys. 

A  graduate  of  Bucknell  University  and 
the  Duke  School  of  Law,  Mr.  Cook  has 
been  teaching  at  Western  Reserve  Uni- 
versity since  1946.  He  is  married  and

Compulsory   Labor  Arbitration   in 
France,  1936-1939 

by    Dr.    Joel    Colton.     King's    Crown 

Press,  Columbia  University. 

At  a  time  when  public  attention  is  fo- 
cused on  the  wage-price  spiral,  on  gov- 
ernment's relation  to  strikes,  and  on 
labor-management  relations  in  general,  a 
Duke  professor,  Dr.  Joel  Colton,  of  the 
History  Department,  has  just  completed 
a  book  on  a  compulsory  arbitration  sys- 
tem that  was  tried  in  France  in  the  years 
just  before  World  War  II.  The  volume, 
entitled  Compulsory  Labor  Arbitration  in 
France,  1936-1939,  is  published  by  King's 
Crown  Press  of  Columbia  University. 

Dr.  Colton's  book  explains  the  French 
system,  which  prescribed  that  all  labor 
disputes  that  could  not  be  settled  by  the 
parties  or  by  government  conciliation 
boards  had  to  be  submitted  to  the  decision 
of  an  arbitrator,  chosen  by  the  parties  if 
possible,  but  otherwise  by  the  government 
from  panels  drawn  up  previously.  The 
decision  of  the  arbitrator  was  to  be  final. 
As  might  be  expected,  a  variety  of  prob- 
lems arose  in  the  application  of  the  law, 
and  Dr.  Colton  describes  them  and  their 
solutions  in  his  critical  examination  of 
the  system. 

The  conclusion  at  which  Dr.  Colton  ar- 
rives is  that,  with  all  of  its  faults,  the 
arbitration  system  served  a  very  useful 
purpose  by  providing  a  means  of  adjust- 
ing wages  to  prices  in  a  time  of  rapidly 
rising  prices,  by  cutting  down  appreciably 
on  the  number  of  strikes  and  lockouts, 
and  by  providing  conciliation  and  arbitra- 
tion machinery  that  was  sorely  needed  in 
France. 

When,  last  year,  the  French  legislature 
was  called  upon  to  decide  the  fate  of  the 
prewar  system,  the  result  was  a  compro- 
mise in  which  much  of  the  prewar  media- 
tion machinery  was  restored  and  a  pro- 
vision adopted  that,  as  before,  all  disputes 
have  to  be  submitted  to  government  con-

ciliation  bodies.  But  the  submission  of 
disputes  to  arbitration,  Dr.  Colton  points 
out,  is  now  on.  a  voluntary  basis. 

As  a  supplement  to  the  volume  now 
being  published,  Dr.  Colton  has  sum- 
marized the  system  recently  adopted  in 
France  in  an  article  appearing  in  the 
Winter,  1951,  issue  of  The  Arbitration 
Journal. 

The  Happy  Mayor

Mayor,  consisting  of  studies  in  democracy 


Concert  Series 

The  1951-52  season  of  the  popular 
Duke  University  All-Star  Concert 
Series  will  open  Thursday,  October 
11,  with  an  off-the-series  attraction, 
Ballet  Theatre.  Appearing  on  the 
campus  for  the  third  consecutive  year, 
Ballet  Theatre  continues  to  draw  and 
delight  capacity  audiences  with  its  ex- 
cellence in  artistry  and  colorfully 
executed   program. 

Later  in  the  season  the  Charles  L. 
Wagner  Opera  Company  will  present 
an  off-the-series  attraction  of  Verdi's 
immortal  La  Traviata,  on  November 
27,  with  John  Alexander,  '45,  now  a 
member  of  the  Cincinnati  Zoo  Opera 
Company,  singing  the  tenor  role  of 
Alfredo.  On  December  6,  the  very 
popular  First  Piano  Quartet  will  make 
an   off-the-series  performance. 

Tickets  for  all  three  off-the-series 
attractions  are  still  available.  For 
information  and  reservations,  write

which  this  year  presents  the  most  ex- 
pensive and  probably  most  popular  list 
of  attractions  ever  offered,  has  al- 
ready been  sold  out.  Such  audience 
enthusiasm  is  understandable  when 
one  reads  the  impressive  list  of  artists 
scheduled  to  appear:  Patrice  Munsel, 
soprano,  October  16;  Friedrich  Gulda, 
pianist,  November  13 ;  Singing  Boys  of

BOOKS 


and  the  city,  has  been  written  by  J.  Ray 
Shute  and  published  by  the  Nocalore  Press 
of  Monroe,  N.  C.  Most  of  the  chapters 
were  originally  given  as  addresses  before 
the  North  Carolina  League  of  Munici- 
palities, over  which  Mr.  Shute,  who  is 
Mayor  of  Monroe,  presided  as  president 
in  1950. 

One  of  these  provocative  addresses  was 
read  into  the  Congressional  Record.  The 
Happy  Mayor  is  challenging  and  timely, 
and  should  be  of  interest  to  every  mu- 
nicipal officer  and  loyal  citizen.  Mr. 
Shute,  who  writes  with  ample  experience 
and  clear  insight  into  democracy  at  the 
local  level  of  government,  feels  that  the 
city  is  the  repository  and  the  last  bul- 
wark of  democracy  in  America.  This 
book  is  limited  to  but  500  copies.  Mr. 
Shute  has  also  written  several  other  books 
on  various  subjects. 


Protestant  Thought  in  the  Twen-

Dr.  H.  Shelton  Smith  and  Dr.  Waldo 
Beach,  contributors.  Macmillan  Com- 
pany. 

Two  Duke  professors  contributed  es- 
says to  Protestant  Thought  in  the  Twen- 
tieth Century,  a  book  of  essays  by  leading 
theologians  which  was  selected  as  the  Re- 
ligious Book  Club  choice  for  June. 

Dr.  H.  Shelton  Smith,  professor  of 
American  Religious  Thought,  entitled  his 
essay  "Does  Progressive  Religious  Edu- 
cation Have  a  Theology?"  Dr.  Waldo 
Beach,  associate  professor  of  Christian 
Ethics,  collaborated  with  Professor  John 
Bennett  of  the  Union  Theological  Semi- 
nary in  New  York  in  a  study  of  the  de- 
velopment of  Christian  Ethics,  entitled 
"From  the  Ethics  of  Hope  to  the  Ethics 
of  Faith." 

The  Negro  and  the  Methodist 

Church 

by  Dr.  Mason  Crum. 

A  new  attack  has  been  made  on  the 
problem  of  interracial  cooperation  in. a 
new  book,  The  Negro  and  the  Methodist 
Church,  by  Dr.  Mason  Crum,  professor 
of  religion.  The  volume  has  been  released 
for  use  in  Methodist  churches,  and  film 
strips  keyed  to  the  text  are  being  pre- 
pared for  Methodist  training  schools  and 
study  groups. 


Relating  from  its  pre-Revolutionary 
beginnings  the  story  which  the  title  de- 
scribes, Dr.  Crum  portrays  the  carrying 
of  the  Gospel  to  Negroes  and  the  response 
of  the  Negroes,  not  to  theology  but  to 
Christian  love  expressed  in  sickbed  visits, 
in  hands  clasped  in  genuine  and  uneon- 
deseending  friendship.  He  discusses  the 
complications  arising  out  of  the  institu- 
tion of  slavery,  and  gives  added  evidence 
to  support  the  statement  that  the  cul- 
tural advance  of  the  Negro  in  America 
during  the  past  250  years  has  been  un- 
paralleled in  history  by  any  people. 

The  thesis  of  Dr.  Crum's  work  is  that 
interracial  cooperation  is  seriously  ham- 
pered by  a  "widespread  ignorance  of  the 
Negro's  ability  to  achieve  when  given  a 
chance."  With  this  in  mind  he  presents 
much  material  about  talented  Negroes  in 
business,  the  professions,  educational  in- 
stitutions and  the  church.  Oddly  enougn, 
he  points  out,  the  separation  of  races  m 
the  churches  is  more  complete  than  in  the 
area  of  public  education.  But  "this 
situation  is  not  altogether  the  fault  of  the 
whites,"  according  to  Dr.  Crum.  Most 
Negroes  prefer  not  to  associate  them- 
selves with  white  churches  because  in  a 
white  congregation  they  are  handicapped 
in  their  opportunity  to  achieve  official 
status  and  informal  fellowship. 

"Certainly  such  a  situation  cannot  be 
viewed  lightly  by  Christians,"  Dr.  Crum 
emphasizes,  "nor  can  it  be  pushed  aside 
as  final  and  inevitable."  His  book  ex- 
pands on  this  idea. 

Dr.  Crum's  writings  include  "Gullah : 
A  Story  of  Negro  Life  in  the  Carolina 
Sea  Islands,"  "A  Guide  to  Religious 
Pageantry,"  "The  Project  Method  in  Re- 
ligious Education"  and  "The  Story  of 
Lake  Junaluska." 

ARTICLE  BY  CUSHMAN 

An  article  discussing  "Faith  and  Rea- 
son in  the  Thought  of  St.  Augustine"  by 
Dr.  Robert  E.  Cushman,  professor  of  sys- 
tematic theology  in  the  Duke  Divinity 
School,  appears  in  the  religious  periodical 
"Church  History." 

The  article  deals  with  the  teaching  of 
the  fourth  century  bishop  who  "laid  a 
new  and  definitive  foundation  for  Chris- 
tian philosophy." 

Dr.  Cushman  is  well  known  for  his 
contributions  to  leading  religious  publi- 
cations. Before  joining  the  Duke  faculty 
in  1945,  he  taught  at  Yale  University  and 
the  University  of  Oregon.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  September,  1951 


New  Coach— New  Plays— Impressive  Win 


A  host  of  Duke  University  alumni  fol- 
lowed the  Blue  Devils  to  Columhia,  S.  C, 
on  September  22  and  to  a  man  (and 
woman)  they  were  completely  satisfied 
with  the  performance  turned  in  by  the 
first  team  coached  by  Bill  Murray,  '31, 
first  alumnus  coach  in  the  institution's 
history. 

The  Blue  Devils,  and  a  total  of  50 
played  against  South  Carolina,  rolled  up 
the  amazing  total  of  454  yards  in  rolling 
to  a  34-6  triumph.  Not  in  many  years 
has  a  Blue  Devil  outfit  made  that  much 
yardage  against  a  major  foe. 

In  winning  the  game,  Murray  pre- 
sented a  lad  who  is  certainly  destined  to 
go  down  into  the  records  with  other  Duke 
football  greats. 

He  is  Jerry  Barger,  a  cool  and  clever 
little  freshman  from  Salisbury,  N.  C.  It 
is  unusual  enough  for  a  freshman  to  make 
a  Duke  team  but  when  this  freshman  not 
only  makes  the  starting  eleven  but  is  the 
field  general  and  directs  all  the  plays,  it 
is  really  something  unbelievable. 

Barger  won  the  major  share  of  the 
raves  from  the  sports  writers  and  radio 
commentators,  and  they  were  really  raves 
because  this  lad  caught  the  attention  of 
them  all.  As  the  game  went  along  they 
were  all  pulling  for  him. 

Barger  was  not  the  only  Duke  star, 
however.  Blaine  Earon,  the  All-America 
end,  was  a  standout  on  both  defense  and 
offense  (he  is  playing  both  this  year), 
and  Captain  Jim  Gibson  was  terrific  on 
defense  as  was  Bob  Bickel,  senior  half- 
back. 

In  such  a  one-sided  game  practically 
everyone  plays  well  but  along  /with  Barger 
in  the  backfield.  were  junior  "halfbacks 
Charlie  Smith  and  Piney  Field  and  sopho- 
more fullback  Jack  Kistler. 

Here's  how  the  scoring  went  for  those 
who  missed  full  reports  of  the  game: 

Midway  the  first  period  Captain  Gib- 


Get  Tickets  Now 

The  Athletic  Department  has  an- 
nounced that  tickets  are  still  available 
for  all  home  games,  including  Carolina, 
but  that  orders  should  be  placed  right 
now  if  seats  are  to  be  assured.  The 
South  Carolina  game,  with  its  spec- 
tacular Blue  Devil  win,  has  spurred 
ticket  requests  to  the  point  where 
shortages  will  soon  develop. 


Charlie  Smith 


Piney  Field 


son  recovered  a  Gamecock  fumble  on  the 
South  Carolina  43.  Barger  got  a  yard 
and  Kistler  two  to  the  40,  and  then  on  a 
beautifully  executed  play,  Barger  headed 
to  his  left  and  at  the  proper  time  pitched 
the  ball  out  to  Field  who  simply  outran 
the  Gamecocks  and  went  40  yards  with- 
out being'  touched.  Green  added  the  extra 
point   (he  missed  only  one  all  day). 

On  the  first  play  of  the  second  quarter 
Charlie  Smith  took  a  pitch  out  to  the 
right  and  then,  on  an  exhibition  of  beau- 
tiful running,  went  45  yards  for  a  touch- 
down, but  Duke  was  penalized  15  yards 
for  clipping  and  the  fine  run  was  nul- 
lified. 

A  few  minutes  later  Duke  drove  to  the 
one-foot  line  but  couldn't  get  it  over. 
But  after  12  minutes  of  the  period  Duke 
scored  again  after  driving  all  the  way 
from  the  Duke  36.  This  drive  was  started 
when  senior  defensive  halfback  Bob  Bickel 
made  a  beautiful  one-hand  interception  of 
a  South  Carolina  pass.  Field  carried  it 
over  from  the  two  for  his  second  straight 
touchdown. 

South  Carolina  scored  its  only  touch- 
down minutes  later.  Steve  Wadiak,  the 
splendid  Gamecock  halfback,  returned 
Duke's  kiekoff  51  yards  to  the  Blue  Devil 
42.  After  two  plays  failed  to  gain,  full- 
back Drawdy  of  the  Gamecocks  blasted 
through  the  line  and  went  all  the  way. 

Thus  Duke  retired  at  intermission  with 


only  a  one-touchdown  lead,  but  after  a 
thrilling  first  half. 

Duke  put  the  ball  game  away  with 
three  touchdowns  in  12  minutes  in  the 
third  period. 

Billy  Lea  recovered  a  Gamecock  fumble 
on  the  Gamecock  37.  Kistler  got  five, 
then  Field  added  14.  Charlie  Smith  added 
13  and  a  few-  minutes  later  Smith  drove 
over  from  the  two.  This  marker  came 
after  4 :20  of  the  period. 

A  perfect  pass  and  a  perfect  catch 
from  Barger  to  Blaine  Earon  gave  Duke 
another  touchdown  after  10  minutes. 
Duke  was  on  its  own  36  and  Barger 
lofted  the  ball  to  Earon  who  slipped  by 
the  South  Carolina  safety  man  on  the  10, 
took  it  over  his  shoulder  and  went  the 
rest  of  the  way. 

Duke's  final  touchdown  came  as  a  re- 
sult of  another  South  Carolina  fumble  on 
its  own  21.  A  pass  from  Barger  to  Gene 
Brooks  (who  caught  five  for  63  yards) 
took  it  to  the  eight  and  on  the  next  play 
Charlie  Smith  took  a  pitch  out  and  ram- 
bled over. 

The  first  home  game  under  Murray  will 
be  the  game  with  N.  C.  State  on  October 
13 ;  Virginia  will  be  met  in  the  Home- 
coming Day  Special  on  October  27;  Wake 
Forest  on  November  10 ;  and  Cai-olina  on 
November  24.  There  are  tickets  remain- 
ing for  ALL  of  the  games.

Southeastern  Personnel 
Conference  Is  on  Campus 

Duke  University  was  host  to  this  year's 
Southeastern  Personnel  Conference  when 
personnel  executives  from  business  and 
industry  met  on  the  campus  from  Septem- 
ber 10  through.  12.  Dr.  Frank  T.  de 
Vyver,  Duke  economics  professor,  is  sec- 
retary of  the  conference. 

Delegates  heard  addresses  by  eminent 
Southern  industrial  leaders  and  attended 
the  traditional  conference  barbecue  on 
September  11. 

The  opening  address  of  the  conference 
was  delivered  by  Joseph  E.  Moody,  of 
Washington,  D.  C,  president  of  the 
Southern  Coal  Producers'  Association.  J. 
0.  Wells,  conference  chairman  and  an 
official  of  the  Ecusta  Paper  Company, 
presided.  The  closing  address  was  given 
by  William  H.  Ruffin,  president  of  Erwin 
Mills  and  also  of  the  National  Association 
of  Manufacturers. 

Three  Duke  alumni,  Charles  B.  Wade, 
Jr.,  '34,  assistant  to  the  superintendent  of 
the  R.  J.  Reynolds  Tobacco  Company, 
Winston-Salem,  N.  C. ;  J.  0.  Thomas,  '21, 
Fieldcrest  Mills,  Leaksville,  N.  C;  and 
Howard  M.  Winterson,  '39,  personnel  ad- 
ministration manager,  Lukens  Steel, 
Coatesville,  Pa.,  were  among  the  speakers 
and  discussion  leaders. 

Experts  from  business  and  industrial 
firms  led  discussions  during  the  confer- 
ence on  "Measuring  Personnel  Results," 
"Problems  of  Wage  Administration  Under 
Wage   Stabilization,"  and  related   topics. 

G.  H.  Kearns,  '97,  Creates 
Grants  for  Religious  Study 

A  $100,000  foundation  for  graduate 
study  in  religion,  "The  Gurney  Harriss 
Kearns  Foundation,"  has  been  established 
at  Duke  by  Gurney  Harriss  Kearns,  '97, 
High  Point,  N.  C,  industrialist. 

The  aim  of  the  foundation,  which  is 
non-sectarian  in  scope,  is  "to  prepare 
outstanding  teachers  of  religion  for  col- 
leges, universities  and  theological  semi- 
naries," President  Hollis  Edens  said  in 
announcing  the  gift. 

The  new  foundation  developed  as  a  re- 
sult of  additions  made  by  Mr.  Kearns  to 
a  trust  fund  he  established  for  a  similar 
purpose  in  1935.  Some  20  outstanding 
students  of  six  different  denominations 
have  held  annual  Kearns  fellowships. 

"Duke  continues  to  be  grateful  to  Mr. 
Kearns,"  President  Edens  declared.  "His 
conviction  that  the  spiritual  phase  of 
higher  education  needs  support  has  been 
implemented  with  badly  needed  material 


aid.  Duke  University  and  this  region  are 
the  better  for  his  generosity." 

Five  Kearns  Fellows  hold  teaching  po- 
sitions in  North  Carolina.  Three  are  at 
Duke,  one  is  at  the  University  of  North 
Carolina  and  one  is  on  the  faculty  of 
Greensboro  College. 

Mr.  Kearns  is  president  of  the  Crown 


Hosiery  Mills  of  High  Point.  He  has  been 
prominent  in  civic  and  religious  activities 
as  well  as  being  active  in  the  affairs  and 
devoted  to  the  interests  of  Duke  Univer- 
sity. He  has  a  daughter,  Katherine  W. 
Kearns,  and  two  sons,  Charles  L.,  '32, 
and  Amos  R.  Kearns,  '27.  The  latter  is 
a  Duke  trustee. 


Captain  J.  M.  Ocker  Heads  Navy  Unit 


Rear  Admiral  Ralph  T.  Earle,  Jr.  who 
last  month  left  his  post  as  commanding 
officer  of  the  Duke  University  Naval 
R.O.T.C.  to  take  up  a  new  assignment  at 
the  Naval  War  College  at  Newport,  R.I., 
has  been  succeeded  by  Captain  John  M. 
Ocker. 

Captain-  Ocker  comes  to  Duke  direct 
from  the  Office  of  Naval  Intelligence  in 
Washington.  A  graduate  of  the  U.  S. 
Naval  Academy  in  1923,  he  has  had  an 
active  and  distinguished  Navy  career. 
Among  his  outstanding  tours  of  sea  duty 
was  a  period  as  operations  officer  on  the 
staff  of  the  Commander-in-Chief  of  the 
Pacific  Fleet. 


The  new  Naval  R.O.T.C.  commander  is 
a  native  of  Empire,  Mich.  He  has  one 
son,  John  M.  Ocker,  Jr.,  '51,  a  medical 
student  at  Duke. 

Admiral  Earle  had  recently  been  pro- 
moted to  rear  admiral,  being  one  of  36 
Navy  captains  elevated  in  rank  during 
the  summer.  At  Newport  he  will  receive 
special  training  in  strategy  and  tactics. 
A  native  of  Annapolis,  Md.,  and  a  gradu- 
ate of  the  Naval  Academy  in  1922,  Ad- 
miral Earle  was  warmly  praised  and 
commended  by  President  Edens  for  his 
outstanding  service  to  the  University  and 
for  the  manner  in  which  he  and  his  fam- 
ily "fitted  into  the  university  community." 


New  members  of  the  Duke  University  Naval  Reserve  Officers  Training  Corps  staff 
are  shown  above  with  Captain  John  M.  Ocker,  seated,  commanding  officer  of  the 
Duke  unit.  Left  to  right  are  Lt.  Comdr.  Dewey  A.  Ostrom,  assistant  professor  of 
Naval  science;  Lt.  William  J.  Tipler,  gunnery  instructor;  and  Lt.  James  S.  Kennedy, 
engineer  instructor.

in  the  study  of  plant  anatomy  and  plant 
physiology,  having  done  distinguished 
work  in  both  fields. 

Active  in  Durham  civic  life,  Dr.  Ad- 
doms was  chairman  of  the  Durham  Chap- 
ter of  British  War  Relief  and  a  member 
of  the  Drivers'  Corps  of  the  City's  Civil 
Defense  organization  during  World  War 
II.  In  July,  1946,  she  received  "The 
King's  Medal  for  Service  in  the  Cause 
of  Freedom"  from  England.  She  was  a 
member  of  the  Durham  Girl  Scout  Coun- 
cil since  its  formation,  and  held  member- 
ship in  a  large  number  of  scientific  and 
professional  organizations. 

Survivors  include  the  mother,  Mrs. 
William  H.  Addoms;  a  sister,  Miss  Eliza- 
beth Addoms,  both  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y. ; 
and  a  brother,  John  Addoms,  of  Cali- 
fornia. 

JULIUS  CLARENCE  GREGSON,  '92 

Julius  Clarence  Gregson,  '92,  pioneer 
cotton  mill  owner  and  industrialist  of  Siler 
City,  N.  C,  died  at  his  home  on  August  4 
after  an  illness  of  several  months. 

Funeral  services  were  conducted  at  the 
First  Methodist  Church,  Siler  City,  and 
interment  was  in  Oakwood  Cemetery. 

As  a  young  man,  Mr.  Gregson  went  to 
Siler  City  and  was  instrumental  in  or- 
ganizing the  Hadley-Peoples  Manufac- 
turing Company,  a  cotton  mill  of  which 
he  became  general  manager.  He  was  also 
one  of  the  co-founders  of  Gregson  and 
Dorsett  Wholesale  Grocery  Company  and 
the  Oval  Oak  Manufacturing  Company, 
the  world's  largest  washboard  factory. 
In  1902  he  helped  organize  the  Chatham 
Bank  and  served  as  director  for  many 
years  and  as  president  from  1919  until 
1928.  In  addition  he  operated  the  first 
Ford  dealership  in  Siler  City. 

Widely  known  in  national  textile  circles, 
he  was  noted  for  his  ability  as  a  cotton 
buyer  for  his  mill,  a  job  which  he  kept 
when  he  sold  his  interest  in  the  mill  in 
1944.  He  retired  from  active  work  a 
year  ago. 

Survivors  include  the  wife,  Mrs.  Mabel 
Hadley  Gregson,  of  Siler  City,  three 
daughters,  one  brother,  Walter  J.  Greg- 
son, '92,  Randleman,  N.  C.  one  sister, 
three  grandchildren,  and  two  great-grand- 
children.

oodrow  almost  bit  off  more  than  he  could  chew  when  he  tackled 
the  cigarette  tests!  But  he  pecked  away  'til  he  smoked  out  the  truth: 
Such  an  important  item  as  mildness  can't  be  tossed  off  in  a  fleeting  second! 
A  "swift  sniff"  or  a  "perfunctory  puff"  proves  practically  nothing!  He, 
like  millions  of  smokers,  found  one  test  that  doesn't  leave  you  up  a  tree. 

It's  the  sensible  test . . .  the  30-Day  Camel  Mildness  Test,  which 
simply  asks  you  to  try  Camels  as  your  steady  smoke— on  a  day-after-day 
basis.  No  snap  judgments!  Once  you've  enjoyed  Camels  for  30  days 
in  your  "T-Zone"  (T  for  Throat,  T  for  Taste) ,  you'll  see  why  . . . 

After  all  the  Mildness  tests...

The  Cover ~™~_ 

Jerry  Barger  (pronounced  Bar-jur,  please),  is  Duke's 
freshman  flash  in  the  all-important  quarterback  slot  in 
the  "T"  formation.  Already  named  Southern  Confer- 
ence Freshman  of  the  Week,  against  South  Carolina,  the 
Salisbury,  N.  C,  youngster  is  bidding  for  recognition  as 
one  of  Duke's  great  backs. 


Department  of  Alumni  Affairs 

THE  DIRECTOR'S  SCRATCH  PAD 

JTVecently  the  class  agents  held  their  annual  meeting  on 
the  Duke  campus,  kicking  off  the  final  phase  of  the  de- 
velopment campaign.  For  the  first  time  in  the  history 
of  such  meetings,  more  class  agents  were  present  than  had 
indicated  they  would  attend.  This  is  the  kind  of  spirit 
that  prevails  among  the  class  and  school  agents. 

Although  the  class  agents  are  beginning  their  work,  the 
area  chairmen  will  not  stop.  If  you  haven 't  already  done 
so,  make  your  contribution  immediately  either  through 
your  class  agent  or  area  chairman. 

The  alumni  in  Northern  New  Jersey  had  planned  to 
come  for  Homecoming  in  a  chartered  railway  car.  Ar- 
rangements could  not  be  worked  out  because  the  railway 
does  not  have  facilities  for  putting  cars  on  a  side  track  in 
Durham.  A  number  of  the  alumni  are  coming  for  the 
week-end  in  station  wagons.  This  seems  like  a  good  idea 
for  alumni  in  other  areas. 

The  Senior  Classes  are  sponsoring  a  Homecoming  dance 
Saturday  night  following  the  game.  This  is  something 
the  younger  alumni  have  requested,  and  we  hope  they  and 
other  alumni  will  enter  wholeheartedly  into  these  plans. 

The  Homecoming  decorations  on  campus  will  be  lighted 
Friday  night.  Make  your  plans  to  be  here  and  visit  the 
campus  at  that  time,  as  the  decorations  will  be  at  their 
best.  The  entire  community  is  working  to  make  this  an 
outstanding  Homecoming.  Your  presence  will  make  the 
week-end  complete. 

Preliminary  applications  for  Angier  Duke  Scholarships 
must  be  made  by  December  1.5.  If  you  know  of  a  young 
man,  or  woman,  in  your  community  who  should  apply, 
urge  him  to  do  so  immediately.  These  are  $3,000  scholar- 
ships, over  a  four-year  period,  for  North  Carolina  stu- 
dents. New  Regional  Scholarships  have  been  set  up  by 
the  Duke  Endowment.  High  school  seniors  in  the  state 
of  Virginia,  the  District  of  Columbia,  and  Prince  George 
and  Montgomery  Counties  in  Maryland  are  eligible  to 
apply. 

IVIany  of  the  local  alumni  associations  are  holding  an- 
nual meetings.  If  your  community  has  not  had  such  a 
meeting,  how  about  getting  in  touch  with  your  officers 
and  suggesting  they  make  plans  for  one  this  fall.  If  you 
do  not  know  the  officer,  write  the  Alumni  Office,  and  we 
will  be  glad  to  send  you  their  names. 

The  new  parking  regulations  on  campus  make  parking 
for  visitors  more  convenient. 


A  young  man's  career  was 

signed,  sealed  and  delivered  in 


We  were  sitting  around  after  lunch 
the  other  day— Bill  Howell,  Frank 
Parsons  and  I  —  having  our  coffee  and 
talking  about  this  and  that,  and  the  sub- 
ject got  around  to  how  we  all  got  started 
in  the  work  we  were  doing. 

I'd  told  them  how  winning  an  essay- 
contest  in  school  had  put  me  on  the  road 
to  being  a  writer  of  sorts  instead  of  the 
engineer  I  thought  I  was  going  to  be,  and 
then  Bill  Howell  explained  how,  as  a  young 
lad,  he  had  become  interested  in  architec- 
ture through  watching  them  remodel  his 
father's  grocery  store. 

I  turned  to  Frank  Parsons  and  said, 
"Looks  as  if  you're  the  only  one  here  who 
followed  his  father's  footsteps,  Frank. 
Was  that  by  accident,  or  by  choice,  or 
what?" 

Frank  tamped  some  tobacco  in  his  pipe 
and  grinned.  "Well,  it's  quite  a  story,  but 
if  you're  really  interested,  I'll  tell  you  . . ." 

He  held  a  match  to  his  pipe  and  puffed 
thoughtfully  for  a  moment  and  then  went 
on.  "My  dad  always  wanted  me  to  go 
into  the  same  business  he  was  in,  but  he 
never  tried  to  talk  me  into  it.  He  wanted 
me  to  do  whatever  I  thought  I  could  do 
best,  and  let  me  have  my  own  way  about 
choosing  a  career. 

"One  day  after  I  got  out  of  college  back 
in  1920,  I  stopped  at  Dad's  office  to  tell 
him  I  was  going  across  town  to  see  about 
a  job  I'd  heard  was  open  at  the  mill.  Dad 
said  that  was  fine  and  wished  me  luck. 
Then  he  picked  up  a  couple  of  envelopes 
from  his  desk  and  said,  'As  long  as  you're 
going  over  that  way,  Frank,  would  you 
mind  dropping  this  off  for  me?'  He  handed 
me  one  of  the  envelopes,  shoved  the  other 
in  his  coat  pocket  and  said,  'I  want  to  de- 


liver this  one  myself  because  it's  pretty 
important — and  it  will  save  me  some  time 
if  you  take  the  other.'  " 

Frank  Parsons  put  down  his  pipe  and 
said,  "I  never  did  get  to  the  mill  that  day 
— or  any  other.  After  I  delivered  the  en- 
velope I  went  back  to  Dad's  office  and 
asked  him  how  soon  I  could  start  working 
for  him." 

Bill  Howell  leaned  across  the  table  and 
said,  "What  happened  that  made  you 
change  your  mind?" 

Frank  Parsons  smiled  and  said,  "It  was 
that  envelope.  It  was  addressed  to  a 
woman  who  lived  on  the  way  to  the  mill, 
and  she  opened  it  while  I  was  standing 
there.  Inside  it  was  a  check  from  New 
York  Life.  Her  husband  had  died  just  a 
short  while  before  and  left  her  with  four 
small  children,  and — well,  I  guess  you  just 
never  know  what  life  insurance  is  all  about 
until  you  see  what  it  means  to  people  .  . ." 

Bill  Howell  nodded.  "That  was  a  pretty 
smart  stunt  of  your  father's — sending  you 
on  an  errand  like  that,  knowing  that  it 


might  be  the  one  thing  that  would  swing 
you  over  to  being  a  New  York  Life  agent 
like  himself." 

We  pushed  back  our  chairs,  and  as  we 
were  leaving  the  table  Frank  Parsons 
said,  "That's  the  funny  part  of  the  whole 
thing.  Dad  was  in  such  a  hurry  and  the 
envelopes  looked  so  much  alike  that  he 
gave  me  the  wrong  one!  He  thought  he'd 
sent  me  over  to  pay  the  gas  bill!"

theirs.  If  you  would  like  to  know  more

Claude  G.  Pepper,  '92 
Hamlet,  N.  C. 

At  the  age  of  81,  a  letter  of  the  magni- 
tude of  the  23rd  of  June  from  you,  is 
touching  a  tender  spot.  There's  only  one 
Duke,  and  was  only  one  Trinity  College. 
Dr.  Craven,  Dr.  Crowell  and  Dr.  Pegram, 
gave  me  something  none  could  take  from 
me  in  life.  Prof.  English  gave  me  a 
voice  that  has  been  lifted  all  of  these 
years,  and  I  think  I  can  tell  a  speaker 
who  was  trained  at  Duke,  or  old  Trinity. 
My  life  has  been  freely  given  to  my  fel- 
lows. Now  at  81,  I  associate  with  young 
men  and  love  them,  and  they  love  me  to 
the  extent  that  I  was  told  that  I  was  the 
only  man  in  Hamlet  that  could  be  elected 
an  honorary  member  of  the  Lions  Club 
of  Hamlet.  Seventy-five  men  stood  and 
voted  unanimously  for  the  old  man.  Hum- 
bly, I  serve  them  all  the  time.  Thank  you 
sir,  and  I  assure  you  that  I  will  only 
thank  God  and  keep  my  feet  on  the 
ground. 

Tours,  and  hoping  when  another  year 
comes,  the  old  man  may  still  do  better  for 
dear  old  Duke

Spokane,  Washington 

Even  at  this  long  distance  I  feel  very 
close  to  Duke  and  a  bit  nostalgic  for  the 
wonderful  experiences  I  had  there.  I  am 
hoping  that  in  the  next  few  years  Spo- 


kane may  be  represented  again  on  the 
campus,  for  it  is  well  worth  travelling  a 
few  thousand  miles  a  year  for  the  privi- 
lege of  attending  Duke !  There  are  a 
couple  of  good  prospects,  and  I  am  cer- 
tainly "beating  the  drums."

Excerpt  from  a  letter  of  Pfc.  Alex  B. 
McFadden,  '50: 

"I  am  enclosing  a  small  contribution  to 
the  D.U.D.C.  I  hope  that  it  will  help  in 
the  drive  to  make  Duke  a  bigger  and  bet- 
ter University.  I  realize  that  every  little 
bit  adds  up.  I  wish  that  I  could  give 
more;  but  at  present  our  pay  records  are 
not  quite  straightened  out.  I  hope,  and 
will  plan,  to  make  another  contribution 
soon.  I  hope  that  all  of  the  alumni  feel 
as  I  do.  Every  little  bit  that  we  can  do 
will  be  of  great  value  to  the  future  stu- 
dents at  Duke.  Many  of  those  future 
students  will  be  our  own  children.  We 
know  how  much  we  profited  from  our 
experiences  and  classes  at  Duke.  Surely 
we  want  our  children  to  do  as  well  and 
even  better.  Every  time  that  we  add  one 
more  brick  or  book  or  make  it  possible 
for  the  educational  standards  to  be  raised, 
we  are  paving  a  better  road  for  our  chil- 
dren. These  contributions,  no  matter  how 
small,  also  help  us  to  feel  more  proud 
that  we  are  alumni  of  Duke  University. 
May  Duke  continue  to  grow  in  size  and 
standards!"

by  100,000  people.  There  were  15 
bands  and  44  floats.  Classes  were  sus-

day  complete  by  beating  the  Tennessee 
Vols  19-0. 

From  5,000  to  6,000  soldiers  are  on 
maneuvers  in  the  area.

The  style  of  that  proverbial  fresh- 
man annoyance,  the  "dink,"  has  been 
changed  from  an  abbreviated  baseball 
cap  to  "crew"  style.  Most  students 
favored  the  change  since  it  presented 
innumerable  ways  of  wearing  the  us- 
ually disliked  head  covering. 

OCTOBER,  1926 

In  a  heated  contest,  Furman  Mc- 
Larty  was  victoriously  elected  senior 
class  president.  Other  officers  are  W. 
A.  Mabry,  vice-president;  Elizabeth 
Ramsey,  treasurer;  and  Rebecca  Land, 
secretary. 

Lillian  Gish  and  John  L.  Gilbert  are 
starring  at  the  Paris  Theatre  in  the 
movie  La  Boheme.  Another  "must  see" 
of  the  month  is  One  Minute  to  Play, 
starring  Red  Grange. 

Over  1500  students  are  attending 
Duke  University  this  year. 

D.  E.  Kirkpatrick,  Men's  Association 
president,  and  his  fellow  officers  are 
trying  to  impress  Duke  traditions  upon 
the  freshmen. 

Students  are  buying  snacks  at  the 
recently  opened  Blue  Door  Tea  Room, 
located  directly  behind  Dr.  Few's 
house. 

T.  E.  Wagg,  Jr.,  is  Chronicle  editor, 
and  Blanche  Henry  Clark  is  co-ed 
editor. 

OCTOBER,  1901 

The  Reverend  John  Carlisle  Kilgo, 
president  of  the  College,  returned  this 
month  from  a  trip  to  Europe  during 
the  summer. 

Trinity  College  has  at  the  present 
eight  scientific  laboratories  supplied 
with  the  latest  equipment:  three  chem- 
istry, one  biology,  and  four  physics 
laboratories.  A  reliable  survey  shows 
that  almost  all  other  college  science 
laboratories  in  the  south  are  at  least 
30  years  out  of  date. 

The  total  endowment  of  Trinity  Col- 
lege is  $333,750.

Big  '51  Homecoming  Set  for  October  27 


Duke's  1951  Homecoming  celebration, 
on  October  27,  will  offer  some  special 
attractions. 

The  Blue  Devils  will  challenge  the  Uni- 
versity of  Virginia  Cavaliers,  in  what 
will  be  the  second  appearance  of  the 
Murray-coached  team  on  Duke  ground 
this  year.  ( Their  Durham  debut — Octo- 
ber i3  against  the  N.  C.  State  Wolf- 
pack.)  The  Homecoming  crowd  will  also 
take  the  opportunity  to  make  it  a  fine 
Welcome  Back  Bill  Murray  Day. 

This  gridiron  battle  will  renew  one  of 
the  oldest  rivalries  in  the  South.  In  1890 
Duke  (Trinity)  and  Virginia  met  in 
Richmond  on  Thanksgiving  day  for  the 
first  interstate  intercollegiate  football 
game  ever  played  in  the  South. 

Registration  will  begin  in  the  West 
Campus  Union  Lobby  at  2:00  p.m.  on 
Friday,  October  26,  which  is  a  good  day 
for  alumni  to  get  settled,  find  out.  just 
what  the  week  end  has  in  store,  and  visit 
their  friends  and  fellow-alumni  before 
the  busy  Homecoming  schedule  gets  under 
way.  Everyone  is  especially  urged  to 
register  so  others  will  know  who  has  ar- 
rived, and  how  friends  can  be  located. 

Student  Homecoming  decorations  on 
^West  Campus  are  to  be  completed  by 
Friday  night,  when  they  will  be  spot- 
lighted and  ready  for  inspection.  They 
will  also  be  judged  at  that  time  by  a 
downtown  committee.  The  night  displays 
piet  with  such  success  last  year  that  a 
repetition  seems  to  be  in  order,  and  visi- 
tors will  particularly  like  the  carnival 
atmosphere  the  decorations  create. 

All  fraternities,  hiding-  behind  their 
Homecoming  decorations,  will  open  doors 
to  greet  alumni  brothers,  their  wives  and 
dates  in  a  new  Friday  evening  feature. 
The  Duke  Players  will  present  a  comedy. 


Engineers'  Homecoming 

Annual  Homecoming  of  College  of 
Engineering  alumni,  also  on  October 
27,  will  begin  with  a  meeting  at  10  :30 
a. ii!.  in  the  College  of  Engineering 
Auditorium.  The  session  will  be  de- 
voted to  an  explanation  of  the  Col- 
lege's research  and  develop  program. 
During  the  meeting,  wives  of  alumni 
will  be  entertained  at  a  "Coffee  Hour" 
in  the  Engineering  Library  by  the 
Engineers'  Wives  Club.  Russell  Ran- 
son,  '31,  is  Engineer  Alumni  Associa- 
tion president. 


"Room  Service,''  beginning  at  8:15  p.m., 
both  Thursday  and  Friday,  in  Page  Audi- 
torium. 

On  Saturday,  the  big  day,  things  will 
start  rolling  with  a  Pep  Meeting  in  front 
of  the  Old  Gym  at  9 :30.  The  traditional 
Homecoming  Barbecue  will  take  place  in 
the  Old  Gymnasium  on  West  Campus 
from  11:30  to  1:00  o'clock.  This  will 
be  regardless  of  weather,  since  it  has  bee:i 
found  that  the  gym  is  pleasant  and  more 
convenient — no  ants,  no  leaves,  no  c  Id, 
no  threat  of  rain.  There  is  ample  seating 
room,  plenty  of  visiting  room,  and  every- 
one will  be  within  a  short  walk  to  the 
stadium. 

At  1:45  p.m.,  just  before  game  time, 
the  University  of  Virginia  marching  band 
will  perform. 

At  gametime,  alumni  will  get  a  sample 
of  just  what  this  Murray-coached  squad 
can  do.  During  the  half,  the  1951  Duke 
Homecoming  Queen  will  be  crowned  by 
William  M.  Werber,  '30,  president  of  the 
General  Alumni  Association.  She  will  be 
chosen,  as  will  her  court,  by  popular  stu- 
dent vote,  and  beauty  will  be  a  high  cri- 
terion. The  Duke  University  marching 
band  will  perform,  and  prizes  for  the 
best  homecoming  decorations  will  be 
awarded. 

Durham  Participates 

A  special  committee  from  the  Durham 
Chamber  of  Commerce  has  been  ap- 
pointed to  work  with  the  Duke  committee 
on  Homecoming.  Durham  stores  will  fea- 
ture special  window  displays,  and  the 
entire  city  will  welcome  alumni  and 
friends.  Richard  J.  Crowder,  president 
of  the  Trinity  College  senior  class  and 
member  of  the  National  Council  Commit- 
tee on  Special  Occasions,  is  chairman  of 
the  student  Homecoming  committee  com- 
posed cf  19  student  leaders.  Heading  the 
Durham  Chamber  of  Commerce  committee 
is  Dante  Germino.  Sr.  Other  members 
rf  his  group  are  Wesley  Me  A.f ee,  '41. 
William  F.  Swain,  J.  A.  Woodall,  R.  P. 
Garrison,  Jr.,  Fred  N.  Lloyd.  '34.  and 
LeRov  Graham,  '18. 

Following  the  game,  all  fraternities  on 
campus  will  hold  open  house,  and  the 
registration  desk  in  the  Union  Lobby 
will  again  be  open  for  the  alumni. 
Worthy  of  note  is  the  fact  that  the  Pi 
Kappa  Alpha  fraternity  celebrates  its 
oflth  anniversary  during  Homecoming 
Week  End.  A  highlight  of  the  occasion 
will   be  a   banquet  on   Saturday  night. 

All   former   students   are  invited   to   a 


Homecoming  dance  Saturday  evening  in 
the  Old  Gymnasium,  West  Campus,  from 
9:00  to  12:00  o'clock.  The  dance,  spon- 
soreel  by  a  student  organization,  will  be 
informal,  and  tickets  ($1.25)  will  be 
available  in  the  Alumni  Office.  The  Duke 
Ambassadors,  the  only  band  in  the  South 
to  be  named  All-Collegiate  Band  by 
Metronome  Magazine,  and  the  only  col- 
legiate hand  in  the  Nation  to  be  men- 
tioned in  Who's  Who  in  Music,  will  play. 
The  Homecoming  queen  will  be  guest  of 
honor  and  members  of  the  football  team 
will  be  recognized.     A  special  dance  hon- 


Welcome,  Bill  Murray 

The  1951  Homecoming  will  be  an 
official  "Welcome  back,  Bill  Murray 
Day,"  as  Bill's  friends,  classmates, 
teammates,  admirers,  and  well-wishers 
converge  on  the  campus  to  cheer  his 
first  Duke  team. 

Bill  Murray  is  the  first  alumnus 
coach  that  the  University  has  ever  had. 
Following  in  the  giant  footsteps  of 
the  venerable  Wallace  Wade,  he  has 
molded  a  team,  in  a  new  pattern,  that 
offers  its  rooters  more  than  a  fail- 
share  of  downright  excitement. 

The  spirited  Blue  Devils,  meeting  an 
old  rival  before  a  special  audience  of 
former  students,  can  confidently  be  ex- 
pected to  make  the  game  a  climax  to 
other  festivities  that  welcome  back 
their  new  and  popular  mentor.

oring  alumni    will   take  place  during  the 
evening. 

Begularly  scheduled  Homecoming  ac- 
tivities will  close  Sunday  morning  with 
a  Chapel  service  at  11 :00  a.m.,  at  which 
Dr.  James  T.  Cleland  will  speak.  Many 
alumni  will  want  to  remain  the  rest  of 
the  day  to  finish  seeing  the  campus  and 
visiting  friends  who  were  previously  en- 
grossed with  football  and  barbecue. 

That  First  Virginia  Game 

At  that  first  Virginia  game  61  years 
ago,  Trinity  College  had  no  coach  at  all. 
President  Crowell  had  brought  some  of 
the  new  rules  of  the  game  from  Yale 
University.  The  change  from  a  round 
ball  to  an  elliptical  one  had  just  been 
made,  and  the  game  itself  was  still  pretty 
much  of  a   free-for-all. 

The  score  of  the  1890  game  was  Vir- 
ginia 10 — Duke  4,  but  it  was  a  battle  all 
the  way.  (A  touchdown  counted  four 
points,  and  a  field  goal  five.  A  safety 
was  two  points.)  If  people  worry  about 
N.C.A.A.  rules  to  protect  players  and 
teams  now,  they  should  have  seen  that 
first  Virginia  game.  Dr.  M.  T.  Plyler. 
left  tackle  on  the  team,  has  said  that 
the  squad  of  '90  will  never  forget  the 
terrors  of  the  Virginia  onslaught.  "It  was 
Virginia  to  the  right  of  us,  Virginia  to 
the  left  of  us,  and  Virginia  in  front  of 
us.  In  the  end,  it  was  bruises  to  the 
right  of  us,  bruises  to  the  left  of  us,  and 
bruises  behind  us.  Never  did  Carthaginian 
swear  eternal  vengeance  on  Rome  more 
certainly  than  did  Trinity  on  Virginia 
following  that  first  meeting  on  the  James. 
Next  year  to  their  astonishment,  we  licked 
them," 20  to  0." 

The  late  R.  L.  Durham,  '91,  captain  of 
the  team,  wrote  an  interesting  account  of 
the  game  some  years  ago.  The  only  prac- 
tice the  team  got  off  their  own  campus,' he 
said,  was  the  game  played  by  the  Trinity 
students  at  the  laying  of  the  corner-stone 
of  the  main  building  of  the  new  college 
at  Durham.  There  was  also  quite  a  con- 
test for  place  on  the  "First  Eleven," 
which  meant  much  more  in  those  days 
than  it  does  now  in  the  two  squad  sys- 
tem. At  that  time  there  was  no  such 
thing  as  taking  a  man  out  of  the  game 
unless  he  was  injured  because  once  out, 
he  could  not  be  put  in  again. 

The  last  time  Duke  played  Virginia, 
in  1943,  the  score  was  49  to  0  in  favor 
of  Duke.  The  two  teams  have  had  a 
long  and  stormy  record  of  contest,  and 
the  1951  Homecoming  game  will  un- 
doubtedly be  in  keeping  with  that  his- 
toric tradition.  Of  late,  Virginia  has 
fielded  strong  elevens,  and  this  year  Duke 
will  have  its  hands  full.

Contracts  Let  for  West  Campus  Building 


Contracts  for  the  construction  of  the 
new  Administration  and  Classroom  Build- 
ing, one  of  the  major  objectives  of  the 
Development  Campaign,  were  let  this 
month.  Total  cost  of  the  new  structure, 
for  which  ground  has  already  been 
broken,   is  to  be  $1,758,000. 

Contract  for  the  general  construction 
of  the  building  went  to  the  J.  A.  Jones 
Construction  Company  of  Charlotte,  N.  C, 
on  a  bid  of  $907,000.  Other  contracts  let 
were :  for  heating  and  ventilation,  $79,313, 
Durham  Plumbing  and  Heating  Company, 
Durham ;  for  plumbing,  $41,225,  Copeland 
Plumbing  Company,  Durham;  and  for 
electrical  work,  $47,280,  Star  Electric 
Company  of  Greensboro,  N.  C. 

Equipment  for  the  building,  not  in- 
cluded in  contract  let,  is  to  cost  $680,000. 

The  new  Classroom  and  Administration 
Building  is  to  be  erected  on  the  long 
empty  corner  of  the  intersecting  main 
quadrangles  of  West  Campus,  directly 
across  from  the  General  Library  on  one 
side  and  Few  Dormitory  Quadrangle  on 
the  other.  It  will,  therefore,  be  of  the 
traditional  Gothic  design,  the  only  build- 


ing erected  in  this  pattern  since  before 
World  War  II,  with  the  exception  of  the 
library  annex. 

Duke's  students,  in  particular,  are  look 
ing  forward  to  the  completion  of  tha 
structure.  It  will  not  only  alleviate  q 
shortage  of  classroom  space  on  the  cam] 
pus,  but  it  will  free  the  present  Adminis- 
tration Building,  originally  designated  a? 
temporary  quarters  for  administrative 
offices,  for  remodeling  as  a  long-desireq 
Student  Activities  Center.  Money  foi 
this  remodeling  project  has  been  pro 
vided  by  Duke's  friends,  individuals  an( 
business  firms,  in  the  City  of  Durham  ir 
a  phase  of  the  national  Developmen 
Campaign  headed  by  George  Watts  Hill 

Another  favorable  aspect  of  the  build 
ing,  scheduled  for  completion  in  about  If 
months,  is  the  additional  space  it  wil 
provide  for  offices  for  the  teaching  staff 
Not  only  will  it  facilitate  the  work  anc 
study  of  the  faculty,  but  it  will  allow 
greater  accommodations  for  private  ano 
personal  interviews  with  students  in  & 
manner  that  will  contribute  to  the  educa 
tional  advantages  of  which  Duke  boasts

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  October,  1951 


At  the  October  14  meeting  of  Class 
Agents  in  the  West  Campus  Union 
are,  left  to  right,  Charles  A.  Dukes, 
'29,  Director  of  Alumni  Affairs; 
Alonzo  Edwards,  '25,  of  Hookerton, 
N.  C,  chairman  of  the  National  Coun- 
cil ;  President  Edens ;  and  the  Eev. 
Charles  P.  Bowles,  '28,  A.M.  '31,  B.D. 
'32,  of  Charlotte,  N.  C. 


Class  Agents  Join  in  Campaign  Push 


Class  agents,  departing  from  the  cam- 
pus after  the  October  14  meeting,  pledged 
their  efforts  to  reaching  every  one  of  the 
University's  25,000  alumni  and  alumnae 
within  the  next  few  weeks  in  the  final 
great  push  to  boost  the  Development  Cam- 
paign over  the  top  by  December  31. 

At  a  luncheon  session  presided  over  by 
Alonzo  Edwards,  '25,  1951-52  chairman  of 
the  National  Council,  Class  Agents  heard 
President  Edens  assert  that  there  was  no 
question  that  the  goal  of  eight  and  one- 
half  million  dollars  would  be  reached  be- 
fore the  end  of  the  campaign. 

After  briefly  reviewing  the  progress  of 
the  Development  Program  since  it  began, 
on  the  present  scale,  in  July  of  1950,  the 
President  stated :  "I  think  this  campaign 
lis  one  of  the  best  things  that  could  have 
happened    to    Duke    University.      It    has 


Spanning  60  years  of  Trinity  Col- 
lege and  Duke  University  are  Class 
Agents  James  E.  Briggs,  '51,  of  Ra- 
leigh, N.  C,  and  Dr.  A.  W.  Plyler, 
'92,  of  Greensboro,  N.  C. 


drawn  us  closer  together  and  has  made 
us  stronger." 

Dr.  Edens  strongly  re-emphasized  that 
the  purpose  of  the  campaign  was  not  to 
contribute  in  any  way  to  "a  bigger  Duke, 
but  to  make  Duke  better.'' 

The  University,  he  said,  now  has  an  en- 
rollment of  about  5,000  students  and  that 
is  the  maximum  number  that  should  be 
accepted.  But,  he  added,  the  funds  being 
sought  are  to  provide  better  for  those 
students  already  here  by  fulling  those  es- 
sential needs  with  which  alumni  are  now 
familiar. 

December  31  Is  Last  Day 

It  was  also  emphasized  by  the  President 
that  there  will  be  no  "period  of  grace" 
after  December  31. 

"The  eight  and  a  half  million  dollars  is 
for  undergirding  the  entire  University," 
he  explained,  "and  that  is  the  amount  that 
the  alumni  body  set  out  to  raise  as  its 
share  of  this  program.  While  the  even- 
tual goal  is  $12,000,000,  the  remaining 
$3,500,000  will  be  sought  from  special 
sources — foundation,  corporation,  and  in- 
dividuals interested  in  some  particular 
phase  of  the  University's  work." 

Mr.  Edwards  pointed  out  that :  "There 
is  now  more  need  for  the  privately  en- 
dowed universities  like  Duke  than  there 
has  ever  been  before.  Our  course  has  been 
charted  and  it  is  our  job  to  follow  it. 
The  service  we  render  through  keeping 
Duke  University  strong  is  a  service  to 
ourselves,  to  our  children,  and  to  our 
State  and  the  nation  as  a  whole." 

Dr.  Henry  C.  Sprinkle,  Jr.,  '23,  who 
attended  the  meeting  from  New  York 
City,  remarked :  "Our  investment  in  Duke 
University  has  been  the  most  profitable  of 
our  lives.  Duke  has  grown  great  through 
the  years,  and  we  have  seen  it  happen. 


We  are  going  to  be  proud  that  we  helped 
it  grow  even  greater." 

The  invocation  was  pronounced  by  the 
Rev.  Charles  P.  Bowles,  ''28,  A.M."  '31, 
B.D.  '32,  Charlotte,  N.  C,  who  is  the 
School  Agent  of  the  Divinity  School. 

Two  Mailings  Planned 

Class  Agents  plan  to  make  at  least  two 
appeals  to  their  classmates,  who  have  not 
yet  participated  in  the  campaign,  be- 
tween the  middle  of  October  and  Found- 
ers Day,  Dec.  11.  Most  Class  Agents  will 
mail  their  first  letters  out  around  October 
25  and  plan  to  follow  with  a  second  ap- 
peal about  a  month  later. 

While  letters  will  go  to  all  members  of 
all  classes  who  have  not  yet  contributed, 
this  will  not  interfere  with  local  cam- 
paigns now  in  progress  in  many  cities 
and  towns.  Campaigners  working  in 
these  local  campaigns,  which  have  without 
exception  established  enviable  records  of 
success,  will  continue  with  their  plans  to 
visit  each  alumnus  and  alumna  individ- 
ually in  a  direct  effort  to  secure  new  con- 
tributors and  additional  pledges. 

Most  recent  local  campaigns  to  be 
launched  were  in  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  where 
Wayne  Ambler,  '38,  is  chairman,  Bruce 
H.  Greenfield,  '38,  is  general  canvass 
chairman,  and  Joseph  L.  Loughran,  '47, 
is  general  canvass  chairman,  on  October 
15;  and  in  Miami,  Fla.,  where  Dr.  Harold 
K.  Terry,  '38,  is  chairman,  Henry  H. 
Russell,  Jr.,  '40,  is  initial  gifts  chairman, 
and  James  L.  Davis,  '45,  is  genera!  can- 
vass chairman,  on  October  17. 

Meanwhile,  word  from  Asheville,  N.  C, 
the  last  major  North  Carolina  area  to 
begin  campaign  activities,  indicates  that 
an  early  report  of  progress  can  be  ex- 
pected and  that  this  report  will  be  an 
unusually  good  one.

DFKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  October,  1951 


Like  Father  Like  Son?  Let's  See 


A  little  sly  snooping  in  the  offices  of 
the  freshman  dean  and  the  director  of 
admissions,  on  West  and  East  Campuses, 
has  uncovered  the  fact  that  there  are  at 
least  56  members  of  the  1951  freshman 
class  whose  mothers  or  fathers,  or  mothers 
and  fathers,  were  once  students  at  Duke 
themselves. 

These  may  not  be  all  of  the  freshmen 
who  are  sons  and  daughters  of  alumni, 
but  these,  at  least,  are  the  ones  who  would 
admit  it.  And  there  are  enough  of  them 
present  to  make  an  interesting  game  for 
those  "old  timers"  ancient  enough  to  have 
boys  and  girls  in  college. 

The  idta  is  to  try  to  identify  the  parent 
of  the  freshman  by  detecting  a  family  re- 
semblance in  the  freshman's  face.  Can 
you  do  it? 

Under  each  photo  is  indicated  whether 
the  freshman's  mother  or  father  is  the 
alumna  or  alumnus  (or  both)  and  the 
parent's  class.  This  immediately  limits 
the  problem  to  a  manageable  range  and 
the  rest  should  be  easy.  For  each  class- 
mate's son  or  daughter  that  you  identify, 
give  yourself  a  score  of  100.  It  is  pos- 
sible to  be  super-perfect  in  this  test.  Re- 
member, however,  identifying  your  own 
off-spring  doesn't  count. 

A   number  of  the  youngsters   pictured 


The  answers  to  this  graduate-level 
examination  may  be  found  on  the  next 
page  (246).  They  are  printed  upside 
down  to  remove  any  temptation  to  peek 
before  guessing.  Under  each  photo  is 
the  information  as  to  which  parent  at- 
tended Duke  and  to  which  class  he  or 
she  belonged. 


on  these  pages  are  third  generation  Duke- 
sters,  having  had  grandparents  as  well  as 
parents  who  attended  Duke  and  Trinity. 
There  are  a  number  of  freshmen,  the  in- 
vestigation disclosed,  whose  grandparents 
attended  the  University  but  whose  par- 
ents went  astray  and  wandered  into  other 
camps.  There  are  many  others  who  have 
had  uncles,  aunts,  brothers,  and  sisters  at 
Duke  in  past  years. 

For  the  purpose  of  this  quiz,  however, 
photos  are  confined  to  the  direct  descend- 
ants of  a  single  generation.  Sometime  in 
the  future,  maybe  it  will  be  possible  to 
ferret  out  that  freshman  who  has  had  the 
most  relatives  at  Duke.  When  we  find 
him,  be  confident  that  we  shall  let  you 
know. 

Each  year  the  number  of  alumni  sons 
and  daughters  entering  the  freshman  class 


grows  larger.  This  trend  can  be  expected 
to  continue,  since  the  comparatively  large 
graduating  classes  of  more  recent  years 
have  now  been  out  in  the  world  long 
enough  to  make  a  name  for  themselves 
and  provide  progeny  for  its  perpetuation. 
That  mothers  and  fathers  direct  the  foot- 
steps of  their  offspring  back  to  their  own 
Alma  Mater  is  a  profound  compliment  to 
the  University.  Parents  always  want 
"things  to  be  better  for  Junior"  and  this 
particular  tendency  would,  therefore,  in- 
dicate that  there  is  no  place  better  than 
Duke. 

Another  observation  might  be  made 
(impartially,  of  course).  These  56  boys 
and  girls  of  the  class  of  1955  are  a  hand- 
some group,  aren't  they?  There  is  a  lot 
of  leadership  ability  represented  among 
them.  There  are  some  exceptional  schol- 
ars, some  good  athletes,  and  some  all- 
around  good  citizens. 

The  University  expects  a  lot  of  these 
second  generation  Duke  freshmen,  and  the 
next  four  years  will  undoubtedly  prove 
that  these  expectations  are  well  founded. 
Not  only  this,  but  somewhere  on  these 
pages  are  pictured  at  least  a  few  of  the 
great  leaders  of  the  future.  One  of  them 
may  even  be  President  some  day.  Who 
knows  ?

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  October,  1951 


u4n  Undergraduate's  J^iew 


by  Ronnie  Nelson,  '52 


The  1951-52  Men's  Student  Government 
Association  gave  early  promise  of  its  up- 
and-comingness  by  bringing  to  Page  Audi- 
torium George  V.  Denny's  "Town  Meet- 
ing of  the  Air"  radio  program  on  Tues- 
day night,  October  2.  With  President  A. 
Hollis  Edens  as  president  of  the  meeting 
and  Congressmen  Charles  J.  Kersten  and 
Richard  Boiling  as  speakers,  the  pros  and 
cons  of  "McCarthyism"  were  hotly  de- 
bated both  by  the  Representatives  and  by 
the  large  audience  of  faculty  members, 
students,  and  townspeople.  During  a 
half-hour  pre-broadcast  session,  members 
of  the  audience  took  to  a  portable  micro- 
phone to  present  their  views  on  the  sub- 
ject, and  some  highly  enlightened  opinions 
proved  that  many  students  had  done  some 
intelligent  thinking  on  the  situation. 

The  program  followed  its  usual  pattern. 
Each  speaker  gave  his  side  of  the  case, 
and  then  the  two  fired  questions  and  an- 
swers back  and  forth.  The  closing  fifteen 
minutes  were  given  -over  to  audience  par- 
ticipation. 

Although  no  decision  was  reached,  for 
such  is  not  the  purpose  of  the  meeting, 
the  audience  was"  given  facts  to  digest  on 
both  sides  of  the  issue,  and  came  away 
better  prepared  to  make  up  its  mind  one 
way  or  the  other. 

Once  more  the  routine  has  set  in.  Ini- 
tial greetings  have  all  been  shouted  across 
slowly  filling  quadrangles.  The  fits  and 
starts  of  first-week  activity  have  settled 
down  to  their  normal  hum.  Upperclass- 
men  are  back  in  harness  again,  happy  to 
buckle  down  after  the  three-month  vaca- 
tion. Freshmen  are  rapidly  hitting  their 
stride,  glad  to  be  a  part  of  life  within 
the  ivy-covered  walls.  Everything  falls 
into  place;  the  familiar  pattern  is  evident. 

And  with  this  return  to  normalcy,  the 
old  student  begins  to  look  around,  noting 
the  things  that  have  changed,  the  things 
that  have  remained  the  same,  the  things 
that  will  never  change.  The  gaping  hole 
opposite  the  library  makes  the  new  ad- 
ministration building  appear  not  long 
from  reality.  And  the  summer  progress 
of  the  grad  dorm  gives  further  proof  of 
the  advancement  of  the  building  program, 
although,  to  the  old  student,  it  more  likely 
indicates  an  early  end  to  the  three-man 
room,  so  long  one  of  his  chief  gripes. 
Enlargement  and  improvement  of  parking 
lots  to  accommodate  more  cars  than  ever 


on  a  campus  that,  this  year,  has  more 
cars  than  ever,  is  looked  upon  as  a  fine 
achievement,  badly  needed  and  greatly 
appreciated.  The  establishment  of  park- 
ing regulations,  on  the  other  hand,  with 
fines  for  violators,  has  been  received  with 
somewhat  cooler  welcome.  This,  however, 
is  merely  a  ease  of  educating  the  car 
owner,  who  eventually  must  resign  him- 
self to  the  price  of  progress. 

High  on  the  list  of  things  "never  to  be 
changed"  is  the  venerable  practice  of  fer- 
tilizing the  grass  each  fall  with  molding 
tobacco  stems.  At  this,  the  old  student 
might  turn  up  his  nose,  but  he  is  nostal- 
gically reminded  of  other  years.  The 
beautiful  flagstone  walks  still  dip  toward 
the  center,  the  water  still  gathers  in  the 
same  old  places  (when  it  rains — this  has 
been  a  dry  year),  and  the  student  still 
utters  the  same  old  expressions  whenever 
he  goes  wading  unawares.  The  bells  of 
the  Chapel  continue  to  sing  out  with  pre- 
cise regularity  the  songs  that  are  so  much 
a  part  of  the  Duke  scene.  Some  things 
are  new,  but  most  are  familiar,  and  the 
old  student  wouldn't  have  it  any  other 
way. 

It  is  a  time  of  recruiting  and  re-recruit- 
ing among  campus  organizations.  The 
elected  and  appointed  leaders,  untried  but 
eager  to  succeed,  are  busy  planning,  or- 
ganizing, and  smoothing  out.  The  old 
student  is  sought  out  by  name,  pushed 
higher  on  the  ladder,  and  given  his  job 
to  do.  The  freshman  is  contacted  by 
high-pressure  advertising,  word  of  mouth, 
or  campus-wide  appeal.  And  when  he 
shows  up,  he  is  sandwiched  in  at  the  bot- 
tom, from  there  to  work  up  through  the 
ranks,  just  as  presidents  have  done  before 
him.  Gradually  the  chain  is  set  up,  and 
results  begin  to  appear. 

Duke  Players  announced  the  results  of 
casting  for  its  first  production  of  the  sea- 
son, "Room  Service,"  to  be  presented  on 
Thursday  and  Friday  evenings  of  this 
year's  Homecoming  Weekend. 

Publ:eations  Row  is  the  scene  of  fran- 
tic activity,  which  usually  continues 
throughout  the  fall  semester.  The  Chron- 
icle has  been  busily  putting  out  issues 
every  week  since  it  first  appeared  on  Fri- 
day of  Freshman  Week.  Its  new  blood 
has  lcng  since  been  injected  in  with  the 
rejuvenated  old,  and  the  newspaper  is 
thriving.  A  new  Archive  is  expected  to 
come  forth  before  the  month  is  out.    And 


Rep.  Kersten  pounds  home  a  point 
while  George  Denny  listens  and  Rep. 
Boiling  ponders  an  answer. 

the  Chanticleer  plods  its  weary  way,  un- 
known to  most,  who  as  usual  must  wait 
until  May  for  final  results. 

Shoe  and  Slipper  Club's  announcement 
that  Ray  McKinley  is  the  "big  name"  for 
the  fall  dance  weekend,  and  that  the  dates 
are  November  2  and  3,  sent  men  scurry- 
ing eastward.  Where  the  "S  and  S"  shin- 
dig is  involved,  nothing  is  left  to  chance, 
nor  pushed  off  till  the  last  minute. 

It  wasn't  long  after  classes  had  begun 
that  students  were  treated  to  the  most 
exciting  event  to  occur  on  the  local  Greek 
scene  in  several  years.  An  honest-to- 
goodness  IFC  trial,  complete  with  prose- 
cution, defense,  and  jury,  took  two  fra- 
ternities to  task  on  illegal  rushing  charges. 
More  important  than  the  actual  decisions 
was  the  proof  that  the  Inter-Fraternity 
Council  is  a  going  concern,  with  the  power 
to  uphold  its  rules  and  the  will  to  use  this 
power. 

With  the  football  team  under  the  new 
tutelage  of  Coach  "Smilin'  Bill  Murray," 
this  was  not  the  season  to  have  three 
away  games  lead  off  on  the  schedule,  or 
so  the  disgruntled  student  thought.  Ad- 
vance notices  being  what  they  were  and 
nothing  being  said,  good  or  bad,  for  the 
team  and  its  prospects,  the  student  hardly 
knew  what  to  expect  when  he  turned  his 
radio  to  the  first  game  with  South  Caro- 
lina. Consequently  he  had  to  take  the 
announcer's  word  for  the  prowess  of 
Duke's  star  freshman  quarterback  and 
the  rest  of  the  "split-T"  formation  team, 
although  the  Blue  Devils'  five  touchdowns, 
as  opposed  to  oiu'  for  the  Gamecocks, 
helped  convince  him.

The  Arts  Council  Comes  of  Age 


One  year  is  not  much  time  for  the  proc- 
ess of  growing  up,  but  that,  its  members 
feel,  is  what  the  Duke  University  Arts 
Council  has  done.  With  a  membership 
of  more  than  four  hundred,  a  capable 
staff  of  officers,  and  a  notable  record  of 
achievement  in  its  one  year  of  existence, 
the  new  Arts  Council  is  now  an  effective 
working  organization. 

There  is,  of  course,  room  for  more 
growth,  for  an  expansion  of  activities 
and  fulfillment  of  program  for  fitting  it- 
self for  the  work  it  has  set  out  to  do. 
And  that  work,  specifically,  is  to  further 
artistic  and  musical  activity  at  Duke 
University  by  encouraging  talent  and  the 
appreciation  of  it  in  whatever  ways  it 
can  and  by  financial  assistance  for  special 
projects. 

The  program  provides  opportunities  for 
both  growing  and  established  artists.  It 
also  provides  members  of  the  Council 
with  enjoyment  of  the  results  of  the  ar- 
tists' work. 

During  the  past  year,  after  it  had  strug- 
gled through  usual  throes  of  organization, 
the  work  of  building  up  a  membership 
of  several  hundred,  the  Council  sponsored 
an  exhibition  of  paintings  and  drawings 
by  the  well  known  Swiss  artist,  Paul  Klee. 
Some  of  these  paintings  were  lent  by 
Duke's  own  Law  Dean,  J.  A.  McClain,  Jr. 
Others  came  from  the  Yale  University  Art 
Gallery  and  the  Phillips  Gallery  in  Wash- 
ington. The  exhibition,  open  to  the  pub- 
he,  was  in  the  East  Campus  Library  Gal- 
lery. Members  had  the  privilege  of  a 
preview  accompanied  by  an  interpreta- 
tive lecture  by  John  Canaday,  an  author- 
ity on  Klee. 

Later  in  the  year  the  Council  sponsored 
a  concert  by  two  nationally  known  vocal- 
ists, Norma  Heyde,  soprano,  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan,  and  William  Hess, 
tenor,  of  New  York  City.  They  appeared 
with  the  Duke  University  Chamber  Or- 
chestra. 

Two  of  the  most  widely  used  and  popu- 
lar projects  of  the  Council,  and  especially 
favored  by  the  students  at  Duke  Univer- 
sity, are  the  record  and  art  reproductions 
rental  libraries  which  were  established  by 
the  Council  last  year.  The  amount  of 
$250  was  allocated  to  ef.eh  of  these  libra- 
ries. The  recordings,  of  which  there  are 
at  present  105,  range  from  older  classical 
composers  such  as  Haydn  and  Beethoven 
to  moderns  such  as  Stravinsky  and  Bar- 
tok.  The  allotment  for  this  year  should 
just  about  double  the  size  of  the  record 
collection,  but  requests  for  rentals  will 
still  exceed  the  supply. 


Robert  Stipe,  '50,  librarian  of  the 
Arts  Council  Record  Library,  and  Mrs. 
Calvin  B.  Hoover,  Arts  Council  presi- 
dent, examine  a  new  acquisition. 


In  the  library  of  art  reproductions, 
there  are  only  24  framed  and  ready-to- 
loan  pictures.  The  allotment  for  addi- 
tions to  the  collection  for  this  year  is 
equal  to  that  of  last  year,  but  the  diffi- 
culties and  costs  of  framing  have  not 
provided  enough  pictures  to  meet  the  re- 
quests for  them. 

One  generous  friend  of  the  arts  gave 
the  Council  $5,000  to  improve  conditions 
in  the  Library  Gallery.  Part  of  this  was 
used  to  buy  museum  cases  for  the  display 
of  ceramics,  textile  arts,  rare  manuscripts, 
and  similar  art  objects.  Part  is  being 
used  to  install  modern  lighting  in  order 
to  illuminate  the  various  exhibits  to  better 
advantage. 

This  year,  the  opening  event  of  the 
season  was  a  concert  in  Asbury  Hall  on 
the  East  Campus  by  members  of  the  music 
faculty.  The  attendance  was  so  great  that 
many  had  to  be  turned  away  at  the  door. 

Among  the  scheduled  events  is  a  dis- 
tinguished exhibition  of  Renaissance 
paintings,  which  will  be  lent  to  the  Coun- 
cil by  the  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art 
for  display  from  January  23  until  Febru- 
ary 15.  They  will  be  shown  in  the  Li- 
brary Gallery  on  the  East  Campus. 

A  problem  of  immediate  concern  is  the 
improvement  of  the  acoustics  in  the 
Women's  College  Auditorium.  This  audi- 
torium is  used  frequently  for  musical  and 
dramatic  events,  among  which  are  the 
North  Carolina  Symphony  and  the  Dur- 
ham Choral  Society. 

The   Council  is  interested  also  in  pro- 


viding space  and  facilities  for  work  in 
sculpture.  For  this,  plans  are  being  con- 
sidered for  converting  a  small  structure 
near  Asbury  Hall. 

Officers  of  the  Duke  University  Arts 
Council  are:  Mrs.  C.  B.  Hoover,  presi- 
dent; Philip  Williams,  vice-president; 
Mrs.  Charles  Dukes,  treasurer;  Mary  Moss 
Wellborn,  secretary ;  Miss  Sarah  Baldwin, 
corresponding  secretary. 

The  Council  has  seven  different  types 
of  memberships  open  to  any  person  in- 
terested in  promoting  the  interests  of  the 
fine  arts  at  Duke  University  and  in  the 
community.  They  are:  Student,  $1.00; 
Regular,  $2.00;  Contributing,  $5.00;  Sus- 
taining, $10.00 ;  Sponsor,  $25.00 ;  Patron, 
$100.00 ;  Memorial,  any  larger  amount. 

Memberships  are  received  by  the  treas- 
urer, Mrs.  Charles  A.  Dukes,  1309  Oak- 
land Avenue,  Durham,  North  Carolina.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  October,  1951 


N.  C.  P.  A.  President  Shows 
Outstanding  News  Record 

Thomas  J.  Lassiter,  Jr.,  '32,  co-editor 
and  publisher  of  the  Smithfield  Herald,  a 
semi-weekly  newspaper  in  Johnston  Coun- 
ty, N.  C,  has  been  elected  president  of  the 
North  Carolina  Press  Association  for  the 
following  year.  The  son  of  the  late  T.  J. 
Lassiter,  who  served  as  president  of  the 
association  in  1906  and  1907,  he  was  es- 
corted to  the  speakers'  table  by  his  mother, 
Mrs.  Rena  B.  Lassiter,  a  former  vice- 
president,  when  he  was  installed  in  office. 

Mr.  Lassiter,  who  came  back  to  Duke 
for  a  year  of  graduate  work  after  earn- 
ing an  A.B.  degree  in  economies  and 
history,  is  an  active  alumnus,  serving  now 
as  chairman  in  the  northeast  central  re- 
gion of  the  state  for  the  Duke  Develop- 
ment Campaign. 

The  Smithfield  Herald  is  a  family  proj- 
ect, being  owned  jointly  by  Mr.  Lassiter, 
his  mother  and  brother  William  C.  Las- 
siter, '30,  LL.B.  '33,  who  is  city  attorney 
for  Raleigh.  When  Mr.  Lassiter,  Sr.,  died 
in  1920,  Mrs.  Lassiter,  though  a  novice  in 
the  field,  took  over  the  paper  to  "keep  it 
for  the  boys,"  and  two  years  later  won  the 
first  Savory  award  for  general  excellence 
in  weekly  newspapers  throughout  the 
country.  It  was  a  going  concern  when,  in 
the  fall  of  1933,  Tom  Lassiter  forsook  a 
musical  career  with  Jelly  Leftwich's  dance 
band  and  made  the  paper  his  major  oc- 
cupation. 

Today  the  Herald  is  the  only  rotary- 
printed  non-daily  in  the  state.  The  staff 
consists  of  12  persons  in  addition  to  the 
owners.  Tom's  mother  writes  a  folksy 
personal  column  and  he  writes  the  edi- 
torials. With  an  average  circulation  of 
6,500,  the  paper  is  one  of  the  10  top 
semiweeklies. 

In  1946  the  paper  took  five  first  place 
awards  in  non-daily  contests  sponsored  by 
the  North  Carolina  Press  Association. 
One  award  for  the  best  editorial  resulted 
from  a  piece  Mr.  Lassiter  wrote  taking  a 
grand  jury  to  task  for  exonerating  an 
angry  youth  who  admitted  killing  a  Negro 
accused  of  stealing  his  hounds.  Another 
first  prize  went  to  the  Herald's  harvest 
edition,  which  has  become  an  annual 
monument  to  newspaper  enterprise  and 
hard  work.  The  third  was  a  citation  for 
the  Herald's  community  service  in  sup- 
porting a  special  25-eent  school  supple- 
ment for  the  Smithfield  school  district. 

In  1939  Mr.  Lassiter  married  Elisabeth 
S.  Johnson,  a  graduate  of  Meredith  Col- 
lege and  a  daughter  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Charles  W.  Johnson  of  Raleigh  and  Fa- 
yetteville.    They  now  have  three  children, 


Nancy  Louise,  9,  Thomas  Wingate,  3,  and 
Martha  Ann,  1. 

Mr.  Lassiter  played  in  the  Duke  Uni- 
versity band  as  well  as  in  dance  bands 
during  his  undergraduate  days,  and  still 
plays  his  trombone,  but  his  second  interest 
is  football.  As  a  Raleigh  News  and 
Observer  article  describes  it,  ''Since  the 
days  when  he  voluntarily  slopped  through 
'Kenan  Lake'  with  the  band  for  the  Duke- 
Carolina  game  of  1930,  he  has  been  an 
incurable  football  fan.  He  remembers 
every  Duke-Carolina  football  score  since 
the  turn  of  the  century,  and  can  describe 
the  key  plays  that  accounted  for  each 
score.  When  Duke  wins,  he  is  jubilant ; 
when  Duke  loses,  he  takes  it  as  hard  as 
the  most  ardent  freshman." 

The  article  relates  that  once  after  a 
Duke  defeat  Lassiter  vowed,  in  his  eight- 
year-old  daughter's  hearing,  that  he'd 
never  support  another  team.  Nancy 
Louise,  remembering  many  conversations 
at  home  in  which  her  father  had  espoused 
the  causes  of  liberals,  protested,  "But 
Daddy,  there  may  be  some  liberals  on 
the  team!" 


Broadcasters'  Advisor 

Frank  U.  Fletcher,  '35,  co-owner  of  sta- 
tion WARL  in  Arlington,  Va.,  has  been 
selected  chairman  of  a  recently  appointed 
legal  and  legislative  advisory  committee 
of  the  National  Association  of  Radio  and 
Television  Broadcasters. 

The  new  committee  is  an  advisory 
rather  than  executive  one,  and  its  duties 
are  to  advise  the  Association's  president, 
Mr.  Harold  E.  Fellows;  the  board  chair- 
man and  general  counsel,  Judge  Justin 
Miller,  a  former  dean  of  the  Duke  Law 
School ;  and  the  Association  Board,  on 
all  problems  in  the  legal  and  legislative 
field  concerning  radio  and  television 
broadcasting. 

Mr.  Fletcher,  who  is  president  of  the 
Duke  Law  Alumni  Association  in  Wash- 
ington, D.  C,  and  vicinity  will  represent 
FM  and  independent  stations  on  the  com- 
mittee. Other  broadcasting  interests  will 
be  represented  by  the  various  members 
of  the  committee. 


Founders  Day  Speaker 

Speaker  at  the  traditional  Founders 
Day  observance  on  December  11  will 
be  Gordon  Dean,  LL.M.  '32,  chairman 
of  the  Atomic  Energy  Comission.  He 
will  speak  in  Page  Auditorium  at 
10:20  a.m. 


Alan  K.  Manchester,  Ph.D.  '30 

Alan  Manchester  Leaves 
For  Embassy  in  Brazil 

Dr.  Alan  K.  Manchester,  Ph.D.  '30, 
dean  of  undergraduate  studies  and  pro- 
fessor of  history  at  Duke,  has  been 
granted  a  year's  leave  of  absence  to  serve 
as  Cultural  Affairs  Officer  at  the  United 
States  Embassy  in  Rio  de  Janeiro,  Brazil. 
His  appointment  has  recently  been  an- 
nounced by  the  State  Department. 

A  specialist  in  Latin-American  affairs, 
and  particularly  in  the  field  of  the  Por- 
tuguese Empire  and  history  of  Brazil, 
Dr.  Manchester  is  one  of  the  Nation's 
leading  scholars  in  Brazilian  affairs.  He 
has  taught  at  several  South  American 
colleges  and  lived  in  Brazil  for  five  years 
where  he  was  director  of  Moore  Institute, 
Campinas,  Sao  Paulo,  and  president  of 
Porto  Alegre  College,  Porto  Alegre,  Rio 
Grande  di  Sue. 

Numerous  books  and  articles  on  Brazil- 
ian affairs  have  been  written  by  Dr.  Man- 
chester, including  "British  Preeminence  in 
Brazil"  and  a  Descriptive  Bibliography  of 
the  Duke  Library's  Brazilian  Section.  He 
recently  collaborated  on  a  new  volume  in 
the  United  Nations  Series  published  by 
the  University  of  California.  Dr.  Man- 
chester's other  writings  cover  the  scope 
of  international  relations,  politics,  history 
and  Brazilian  literature. 

Dr.  Manchester  received  his  A.B.  de- 
gree from  Vanderbilt,  and  his  M.A.  de- 
gree from  Columbia.  In  addition  he  re- 
ceived academic  training  at  Southwest- 
ern University.  Before  coming  to  Duke 
in  1929  he  taught  at  Wallace  Universitv 


DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  October,  1951 


[  Page  249  ] 


School  in  Nashville  and  the  University  of 
Oklahoma.  He  also  taught  for  one  year 
at  Trinity  Park  School,  the  preparatory 
school  for  Trinity  College  before  it  be- 
came Duke.  Prior  to  his  present  posi- 
tion as  dean  of  undergraduate  studies,  he 
served  as  dean  of  freshmen  at  Duke. 


Miller  Is  Named  Dean 

W.  Starr  Miller,  a  Duke  graduate  stu- 
dent in  educational  administration,  has 
been  named  dean  of  Bessie  Tift  College 
in  Forsyth,  Ga.  At  29  years  of  age,  he 
is  the  youngest  dean  of  a  four-year  col- 
lege in  Georgia.  In  addition  to  his  duties 
as  dean,  he  will  be  chairman  of  the  Edu- 
cation Department. 

Having  completed  residence  study  for 
the  Doctor  of  Education  degree  at  Duke, 
Mr.  Miller  will  write  his  doctoral  disser- 
tation on  problems  of  practice  teachers 
and  beginning  teachers  in  public  schools. 
While  at  Duke,  he  served  as  a  supervisor 
of  practice  teaching. 

A  native  of  Plainville,  Ga.,  Mr.  Miller 
is  also  an  alumnus  of  the  University  of 
Georgia,  West  Georgia  College  and  De 
Paul  University.  A  World  War  II  vet- 
eran, he  taught  education  courses  at 
Young  Harris  College  in  Georgia,  where 
he  was  also  dean  of  men  and  assistant  to 
the  president,  before  coming  to  Duke. 


Bierstein  Is  Commended 

Joseph  F.  Bierstein,  Jr.,  '38,  is  the 
subject  of  a  highly  commendatory  letter 
to  President  Edens  from  the  headquarters 
of  the  Armed  Forces  Information  School 
at  Carlisle  Barracks.  Pa.  The  letter  was 
occasioned  by  the  outstanding  work  of 
Mr.  Bierstein  on  the  compilation  of  the 
first  edition  of  "The  Army  Almanac,"  a 
pioneer  effort  of  the  Department  of  the 
Army  in  the  field  of  public  information. 

Colonel  D.  M.  King,  U.  S.  Army  officer 
in  charge  of  the  "Almanac,"  wrote  that 
Mr.  Bierstein  "performed  his  duties  as 
research  editor  for  over  four  years  in  a 
highly  satisfactory  manner,  and  was.  in 
fact,  the  only  individual  who  survived  the 
extreme  pressure  and  exacting  require- 
ments throughout  the  life  of  the  project." 
The  Duke  alumnus  has  finished  the  project 
and  is  now  a  civilian  employee  of  the 
Army  public  information  department, 
with  offices  in  the  Pentagon  Building. 


Roger  Kirchofer,  '51 


Missing  In  Action 

First  Lieutenant  Roger  B.  Kirchofer, 
'51,  has  been  reported  missing  in  action 
in  Korea  since  May  18.  He  was  recalled 
to  active  duty  early  this  year  and  has 
been  in  Korea  since  March.  He  was  serv- 
ing with  the  Second  Division,  Company 
B,  38th  Infantry,  and  had  been  in  con- 
tinued action  of  the  East  Central  Front. 

During  World  War  II,  Lt.  Kirchofer 
served  in  the  Southwest  Pacific,  and  was 
later  stationed  with  the  army  of  occupa- 
tion in  Japan  and  in  Korea,  where  he  was 
on  loan  from  the  Army  to  the  military 
government  to  help  train  the  military  con- 
stabulary. When  war  broke  out  in  Korea, 
this  constabulary  formed  the  nucleus  of 
the  South  Korean  Army.

Local  Association  Meetings 


Roanoke,  Va. 

Dr.  Fred  E.  Hamlin,  '13,  presided  over 
the  dinner  meeting  of  the  Roanoke  Duke 
Alumni  Association  October  11.  Dean 
Robert  Cox  spoke  on  the  theme,  "Assem- 
bly Line  Education  Versus  Real  Educa- 
tion." After  dinner  the  group  was  enter- 
tained by  Mr.  Leehie  of  the  Standard  Oil 
Company,  who  presented  an  interesting 
film  on  "Historic  Virginia."  The  sched- 
uled election  of  officers  was  postponed  un- 
til a  later  date. 

Knoxville,  Tenn. 

The  Hotel  Andrew  Johnson,  Knoxville, 
Tenn.,  was  the  scene  of  a  very  informal 
but  entertaining  get-together  of  some 
Duke  alumni  attending  the  Duke-Tennes- 
see football  game  on  October  6. 

E.  P.  Bethune,  '48,  Ann  Markin  Beth- 
une  (Mrs.  E.  P.),  '48,  Clarence  Smith, 
'48,  Mickey  Lundeberg  Smith  (Mrs.  Clar- 
ence), '49,  all  of  Louisville,  Ky. ;  P.  Frank 
Hanes,  Jr.,  '50,  and  Mrs.  Hanes,  of  Win- 
ston-Salem, N.  C. ;  and  B.  Everett  Jordan, 
Jr.,  '51,  and  Ellen  MeMasters  Jordan 
(Mrs.  B.  Everett),  a  Duke  junior,  of 
Saxapahaw,  N.  C,  were  entertaining  all 
Duke  alumni  visiting  Knoxville  for  the 
game. 

Duke  spirit,  even  after  the  defeat  suf- 
fered at  the  hands  of  Tennessee's  squad, 
was  undaunted.  One  unidentified,  but 
distinguished  looking  gentleman  paraded 
through  the  lobby  of  the  Andrew  Johnson 
with  his  fine  bulldog.  The  animal  made 
no  bones  about  the  fact  that  he  and  his 
master  were  avid  Dukemen,  for  he  wore  a 
big  "D"  blanket  around  his  middle. 


Forsyth  County 

The  Forsyth  County  Alumni  Associa- 
tion honored  the  Children's  Home  and

BOOKS 


Lie  Down  in  Darkness 

»by  William  Styron,  '47.  Bobbs-MerriU 
Co. 
Some  of  the  most  generous  praise  re- 
cently showered  by  literary  critics  on  new 
writers  has  been  given  William  Styron, 
'47,  for  his  first  novel,  Lie  Down  in  Dark- 
ness, published   by  Bobbs-Merrill   Co. 

Maxwell  Geismar,  in  the  Saturday  Re- 
view of  Literature,  calls  the  book  "prac- 
tically perfect"  and  the  "best  novel  of  the 
year."  He  thinks  it  is  "one  of  the  few 
completely  human  and  mature  novels 
published  since  the  Second  World  War." 
John  W.  Aldridge  of  the  New  York  Times 
feels  one  can  say  "he  has  produced  a 
first  novel  containing  some  of  the  ele- 
ments of  greatness,  one  with  which  the 
work  of  no  other  young  writer  of  25  can 
be  compared,  and  that  he  has  done  bril- 
liant justice  to  the  Southern  tradition 
from  which  his  talent  derives."  Still  other 
critics  compare  him  to  such  acclaimed 
authors  as  William  Faulkner  and  Thomas 
Wolfe. 

William  Styron  came  to  Duke  as  a 
member  of  the  Navy  Y-1'2  program  after 
studying  at  Christchurch  School  for  Boys 
in  Virginia  and  Davidson  College.  At 
Duke  one  of  his  elective  courses  was  crea- 
tive writing,  taught  by  Dr.  William  Black- 
burn, and  it  was  in  this  class  that  he  dis- 
covered writing  was  to   be  both  his  goal 


Bill,  Styron 


and  his  unrelenting  taskmaster.  One  of 
his  short  stories  was  included  in  One  and 
Twenty,  an  anthology  of  Duke  student 
writing  edited  by  Dr.  Blackburn  and  pub- 
lished by  the  Duke  University  Press.  His 
stories  have  also  appeared  in  the  Archive. 
Mr.  Styron  readily  admits  that  writing 
for  him  is  the  hardest  thing  in  the  world, 
but  also  something  which,  once  a  project 
is  completed,  is  the  most  satisfying. 

The  highly  recommended  novel  was  be- 
gun in  a  novel  workshop  taught  by  Dr. 
Hiram    Haydn,    New    York    editor    and 


former  creative  writing  teacher  at  the 
Woman's  College  in  Greensboro.  Over  a 
laborious  three-year  period,  the  book. was 
written,  polished  and  finally  published. 
It  is  the  story  of  an  upper-middle-class 
family  in  the  Tidewater  society  of  Vir- 
ginia, which  is  doomed  because  its  mem- 
bers have  lost  the  capacity  to  love.  Pey- 
ton Loftis,  the  eldest  daughter  of  the 
family,  dies  by  her  own  hand  at  the  be- 
ginning of  the  book,  and  through  a  series 
of  cutbacks  the  story  of  her  life  and  the 
reasons  for  its  end  are  traced.  Her  fa- 
ther, a  weakling,  makes  a  desperate  and 
futile  attempt  to  salvage  his  family  life, 
but  fails,  ending  always  in  a  drunken 
stupor.  Her  mother,  a  neurotic  and  un- 
loved woman,  tries  to  find  herself  through 
religion.  The  defective  younger  daughter, 
Maudie,  is  described  as  one  of  the  most 
original  elements  in  the  story. 

The  book  has  no  "thesis,"  no  "frame  of 
reference,"  but  is  first  and  foremost  a 
domestic  tragedy,  and  an  absorbing  story. 
The  precise  technique  enables  the  reader 
to  be  with  the  characters  at  parties,  foot- 
ball games,  weddings,  and  to  sympathize 
with  their  inevitable  shortcomings.  Mr. 
Styron  did  not  intend  his  novel  to  be 
about  the  South,  though  the  story  is  laid 
there.  He  has  tried  to  portray  family 
wreckage  and  defeat  as  it  could  happen 
anywhere  under  the  circumstances. 

His  first  attempt  having  met  with  such 
success,  William  Styron  is  destined  to 
make  an  enviable  place  for  himself  in  the 
literarv  world.

Blue  Devil  Runners  Are  Pacing  Team  To 


Around  Duke,  they're  calling  the  new- 
look  football  squad  "the  comeback  kids." 
After  soundly  trouncing  South  Carolina 
34-6  in  the  season's  opener  under  Duke's 
first  alumnus  coach,  William  D.  "Bill" 
Murray,  the  Blue  Devils  rolled  back  in 
the  last  minutes  of  games  with  Pitt  and 
N.  C.  State  for  wins.  They  lost  to  Ten- 
nessee's powerful  grid  machine,  26-0. 

The  Blue  Devils  defeated  the  University 
of  Pittsburgh  19-14  at  Pittsburgh  on 
September  29,  then  sank  to  their  depths 
against  Tennessee  the  following  week, 
losing  26-0  while  committing  seven  fum- 
bles and  having  two  of  seven  passes  in- 
tercepted. As  the  Begister  went  to  press, 
Duke  had  come  from  behind  to  defeat 
N.  C.  State  27-21  in  Murray's  home  debut 
as  Blue  Devil  mentor. 

A  quick  summary  of  the  Pitt,  Tennessee 
and  N.  C.  State  games : 

PITTSBURGH— Duke  scored  after  five 
minutes,  halfback  Red  Smith  smashing 
over  from  the  three.  Green  kicked  the 
extra  point.  Pitt  took  the  ensuing  kick- 
off  and  drove  64  yards  for  a  touchdown, 
Cimerolli  going  through  center  for  15 
yards  and  the  score.  Blanda  kicked  the 
extra  point.  Early  in  the  second  period, 
Duke  scored  again,  the  drive  being  started 
by  a  blocked  kick  by  soph  tackle  Ed 
Meadows  and  a  return  of  the  kick  by 
Blaine  Earon  to  the   Pitt  15.     The  Blue 


Blue  Devil  Geography 

An  examination  of  the  geographical 
distribution  of  the  hometowns  of  the 
1951  Murray-coached  Blue  Devils  re- 
veals that  Duke  is  fielding  a  team  pre- 
dominantly natives  of  North  Carolina. 

The  squad  roster  lists  7S  names,  in- 
cluding 28  backs  and  50  linemen.  Of 
these  78  boys,  a  total  of  43  are  native 
North  Carolinians.  Included  are  such 
standouts  as  Charlie  Smith,  Red  Smith, 
Jim  Gibson,  Piney  Field,  "Country" 
Meadows,  Carl  James,  and  many 
others. 

Other  states  represented  on  the  Blue 
Devil  squad  are,  in  order  of  their  pre- 
dominance :  Pennsylvania  with  10 
players ;  Virginia  with  five ;  Georgia, 
Kentucky,  New  York,  and  New  Jersey, 
all  with  three  each;  the  District  of 
Columbia  and  Maryland  with  two  each; 
and  Indiana,  Wyoming,  and  Minnesota 
with  one  each. 

There  are,  in  all,  13  states  that  have 
contributed  to  the  '51  team. 


Devils  scored  when  Red  Smith  blasted  off 
right  tackle  for  three  yeards.  Extra  point 
try  blocked.  Duke  led  at  halftime  13-7. 
Pitt  drove  92  yards  early  in  the  second 
half  to  score  and  kicked  the  extra  point 


The  Murray 
Family 

While  Coach  Bill  Mur- 
ray, '31,  spends  his  work- 
ing day  with  rough  and 
tumble  football  players,  his 
home  life  is  predominated 
by  the  gentle  female  of  the 
species.  Coach  Murray  and 
Mrs.  Murray  (Carolyn 
Kirby),  '32,  have  three 
daughters.  Shown  in  the 
picture  (right)  they  are, 
standing,  left  to  right, 
Marilyn,  a  Duke  sopho- 
more, and  Joy,  a  Univer- 
sity of  Delaware  junior;

Mrs.  Murray,  and  Coach 
Murray. 


to  lead  14-13.  Blanda  booted  the  point 
after  Bestwiek  passed  to  Warriner  for 
16  yards  and  the  six-pointer.  A  41 -yard 
punt  return  to  the  Pitt  27  by  safetyman 
George  Grune  set  the  Blue  Devils  up  for 
their  pay-off  touchdown  in  the  final  quar- 
ter. With  Charlie  and  Red  Smith  carry- 
ing the  ball,  the  Dukes  scored,  Charlie 
tallying  on  a  two-yard  smash.  Green's 
try  for  the  extra  point  was  wide. 

TENNESSEE— Duke  lost  the  services 
of  senior  end  Gene  Brooks  of  Durham  for 
the  season  as  result  of  his  suffering  a 
broken  arm  in  this  game.  The  Vols  drove 
48  yards  for  their  first  score  in  the  first 
quarter,  Hank  Lauricella  faking  a  hand- 
off  and  racing  28  yards  for  the  marker. 
Reichichar  kicked  the  extra  point.  The 
tough  Tennessee  crew  scored  again  on  the 
third  play  of  the  second  period,  Erns- 
berger  copping  a  34-yard  drive  by  going 
over  from  the  one.  The  extra  point  try 
failed.  With  ten  seconds  left  in  the  third 
period,  Harold  Payne  bucked  over  for 
the  Vols'  third  touchdown  on  a  drive  that 
started  on  Duke's  48.  Kolenick  kicked 
the  extra  point.  Payne  passed  to  end 
Prank  Alexander  for  17  yards  for  the 
final  touchdown  with  only  four  minutes 
left  in  the  game.  The  extra  point  try 
failed  as  Tennessee  won,  26-0. 

N.  C.  STATE— The  Blue  Devils  led 
13-0  early  in  this  game,  only  to  have  the 
Wolfpack  come  back  and  go  ahead  14-13, 
a  lead  they  held  at  halftime.  The  Devils 
got  their  first  score  late  in  the  first  period, 
218-pound  fullback  Jack  Kistler,  voted 
athlete  of  the  week  in  North  Carolina  for 
his  performance  in  the  game,  blasting  over 
from  the  two  for  the  score.  Duke  drove 
64  yards  for  the  touchdown.  Extra  point 
try  failed.  Charlie  Smith  circled  right  end 
for  nine  yards  and  the  second  touchdown 
on  the  third  play  of  the  second  period. 
An  intercepted  pass  by  freshman  Worth 
Lutz  on  State's  42  set  up  the  score.  Green 
kicked  the  extra  point.  State  took  the 
following  kick-off,  however,  to  drive  from 
their  34  for  a  touchdown.  Jim  O'Rourke 
went  over  from  the  two.  Barkouskie 
kicked  the  extra  point.  Duke  fumbled  in 
its  own  territory  and  State  recovered  to 
start  the  Wolfpack  on  their  second  scor- 
ing drive  shortly  afterwards.  An  inter- 
ference penalty  put  the  ball  on  the  Duke 
one  and  after  three  scoring  tries  failed, 
Webster  went  over  for  the  Pack  from  the 
one.     The  extra  point  try  was  good  and

New  Record 


State  led  14-13.  State  got  another  touch- 
down on  the  first  play  of  the  final  period, 
Moyer  passing  13  yards  to  Kosilla  for 
the  marker.  A  Duke  fumble  recovered  by 
the  Pack  on  the  Duke  23  set  up  the  score. 
Again  the  extra  point  try  was  good  and 
State  led  by  21-13.  The  Blue  Devils  were 
down,  but  not  out.  They  came  back  in 
five  plays  to  score,  Red  Smith  cross-buck- 
ing for  11  yards  and  the  score.  Green's 
extra  point  try  was  good,  cutting  the 
margin  to  21-20.  Then,  after  the  kick-off 
was  fumbled  deep  in  State  territory  and 
the  Duke  defensive  line  held  State's  of- 
fensive thrusts  to  no  gain,  the  Blue  Devils 
were  off  to  the  races  again.  After  George 
Grune  returned  a  State  punt  to  the  Wolf- 
pack  37,  the  Devils  scored  in  seven  plays. 
Charlie  Smith  went  off  tackle  for  two 
yards  and  the  six-pointer.  Green  kicked 
the  extra  point  for  a  27-21  win.  Duke's 
seven  fumbles  in  the  State  game  gave 
them  a  total  of  14  for  the  last  two  games. 
They  recovered  only  four  of  these. 

Jumping  away  to  a  four-touchdown 
lead  in  the  first  period,  Duke's  Blue  Devils 
went  on  to  crush  Virginia  Tech  55-6  in  the 
Oyster  Bowl  game  at  Norfolk,  Va.,  on 
October  20.  Report  on  this  game  was 
received  just  as  the  Register  was  going 
to  press. 

The  Blue  Devils  scored  the  first  time 
they  got  their  hands  on  the  ball,  driving 
79  yards  for  the  score.  Featuring  the 
drive  were  a  23-yard  run  by  Red  Smith 
and  a  pass  by  Quarterback  Jerry  Barger. 
Fullback  Jack  Kistler  raced  over  from 
28  yards  out.  Ray  Green  added  the  first 
of  seven  extra  points. 

Barger  scored  the  second  one  a  few 
minutes  later  after  a  VPI  fumble  on  the 
eight  and  a  five-yard  offside  penalty. 
VPI  then  fumbled  on  the  28  and  Charlie 
Smith,  Jack  Kistler  and  Piney  Field  al- 
ternated in  carrying  it  across,  Field  mak- 
ing the  final  yard.  That  made  it  21-0 
Duke  after  8:25. 

Dud  Hager,  later  in  that  period,  inter- 
cepted a  Gobbler  pass  on  the  Tech  32. 
Field,  Barger,  Kistler  and  Charlie  Smith 
alternated  in  taking  it  to  the  one  from 
where  Charlie  carried  it  across. 

A  new  star  appeared  on  the  Duke  hori- 
zon in  the  second  period  when  Charlie 
Niven,  the  celebrated  freshman  back  from 
Wilmington,  entered  the  game  and  led 
Duke  to  its  fifth  touchdown.  He  started 
the  Blue  Devils  on  a  69-yard  drive  with 
a  30  yard  offtackle  jaunt  and  then  made 
another  nine  yard  run  to  the  three  to  set 


Blue  Devils  Out  of  Uniform 

Above  are  four  of  the  photos  caught  by  a  Greensboro  (N.  C.)  Daily  News 
photographer,  who  recently  toured  the  campus  in  search  of  stalwart  Blue 
Devils  out  of  uniform  and  in  the  natural  habitat  of  undergraduates.  Top 
left  photo  may  well  be  labeled  "The  Smith  Brothers,"  as  the  three  Smiths 
of  the  squad  pose  with  a  box  of  well-known  cough  drops.  Left  to  right  they 
are  Charlie  Smith,  junior  halfback  from  Wilmington,  N.  C. ;  James  ' '  Red ' ' 
Smith,  sophomore  halfback  from  Winston-Salem,  N.  C. ;  and  Walter  Smith, 
junior  end  from  Raleigh,  N.  C.  (all  unrelated).  Top  right  photo  shows  Mike 
Souchack,  '51,  last  year's  sterling  extra-point  booter  now  coaching  ends

Jim  Gibson,  senior  end  and  team  captain  from  Wilmington.  At  lower  left, 
in  the  library,  are  Piney  Field,  junior  halfback  from  Martinsville,  Va ;  and 
Joe  Self,  senior  quarterback  from  Greensboro,  who  has  been  out  with  injuries 
all  season  and  may  not  play  at  all  this  year.  At  lower  right,  in  a  dormitory 
huddle,  are  freshman  quarterback  Jerry  Barger  from  Salisbury,  N.  C. ;  Bobby 
Burrows,  sophomore  guard  from  Asheboro,  N.  C. ;  and  James  York,  freshman 
end  from  Asheboro. 


up  the  touchdown  which  was  scored  by 
Lloyd  Caudle. 

Charlie  Smith  made  the  longest  run  of 
the  day  on  the  third  play  of  the  second 
half  when  he  took  a  pitchout  from  Barger 
and  raced  85  yards  for  a  touchdown. 

A  few  minutes  later  Duke  had  another 


one  after  VPI  fumbled  on  the  16.  Charlie 
Smith  got  nine  and  Field  drove  it  over 
from  the  seven. 

Duke's  final  marker  was  on  a  great  run 
by  Field.  He  went  off  tackle,  broke  into 
the  open  and  then  simply  outran  the  Tech 
secondary.     Field  is  a  9.6  man  in  track.

Miss  Florence  K.  Wilson,  clean  of  the 
Duke  University  School  of  Nursing,  has 
been  named  a  member  of  a  new  Commit- 
tee on  Nursing  Education  by  the  South- 
ern Regional  Educational  Program. 

The  17  educators,  nursing-  specialists, 
members  of  state  boards  and  hospital 
administrators  who  make  up  the  commit- 
tee will  study  the  critical  need  for  nurses 
in  14  Southern  states.  It  is  the  latest 
extension  in  a  regional  project  through 
which  Southern  states  have  pooled  efforts 
to  improve  educational  programs.  The 
committee  met  for  the  first  time  at  Board 
headquarters  in  Atlanta,  Ga.,  on  October 
9-10. 

As  president  of  the  North  Carolina 
State  League  of  Nursing  Education,  Miss 
Wilson  expressed  her  "wholehearted 
agreement"  with  the  plans  of  the  program 
to  collect  facts  and  recommend  steps  to 
improve  the  training  of  nurses  in  South- 
ern states.

Professor  Cites  Need 
of  Help  for  Schools 

Dr.  A.  M.  Proctor,  professor  in  the 
Education  Department,  was  leader  of  a 
five-day  meeting  of  the  National  Council 
on  Schoolhouse  Construction  in  Minne- 
apolis, Minn.,  during  the  first  of  Oc- 
tober. 

"It  is  high  time  to  think  of  obtaining 
school-buildings  and  equipment  on  a  State- 
wide rather  than  a  local  basis,"  said  Dr. 
Proctor,  who  is  president  of  the  Council, 
at  the  opening  session.  His  speech  was 
entitled  "A  Possible  Way  to  Procure 
More  Schoolhouses  for  the  Tax  Dollar." 

"In  the  past  it  has  been  common  for 
school  administrators  and  the  public 
generally  ...  to  vigorously  oppose  any 
movement  which  looked  in  the  direction 
of  centralization,"  Dr.  Proctor  said.  "But 
.  .  .  the  public  school  is  a  social  institu- 
tion and  .  .  .  must  serve  a  soeial  purpose." 

For  the  sake  of  both  economy  and 
functionalism,  Dr.  Proctor  suggests  that 
State-financed  school  buildings  would  be 
much  cheaper  in  the  long  run  because  a 
pay-as-you-go  plan  could  be  used,  and 
properly  designed  buildings  for  each  area 
could  be  obtained  from  expert  and  expe- 
rienced school  architects  rather  than  local 
ones   who   have   never  before   designed  a 


school.  He  also  believes  contracting 
would  be  better  and  less  expensive  when 
done  by  regular  school  contractors. 

Jack  Persons  Honored 

The  Durham  Chapter  of  the  American 
Red  Cross  has  awarded  Walter  S.  (Jack) 
Persons,  '32,  Duke  swimming  and  lacrosse

since  1930,  is  now  in  charge  of  all  Duke

Dr.  Elbert  Russell,  dean  emeritus  of 
Duke  University  Divinity  School,  died 
September  21  in  a  hospital  in  St.  Peters- 
burg, Fla.  The  80-year-old  professor, 
lecturer  and  author,  ill  for  several  weeks, 
suffered  a  heart  attack.  Funeral  services 
were  conducted  at  Baynard's  Chapel  by 
the  Society  of  Friends. 

Dr.  Russell  came  to  Duke  in  1926  as 
professor  of  Biblical  Interpretation  and 
was  made  dean  of  the  Divinity  School  in 
1929.  He  retired  from  the  deanship  in 
1941  but  continued  to  teach  a  few  years 
before  he  and  Mrs.  Russell  moved  to  St. 
Petersburg. 

A  native  of  Friendsville,  Tenn.,  Dr. 
Russell  was  educated  at  Earlham  College 
and  the  University  of  Chicago.  Last

Earlham  College,  Johns  Hopkins  Univer- 
sity, Woolman  College,  Haverford  Col- 
lege, and  Swarthmore  College  as  well  as 
Duke  during  his  long  career  as  teacher 
and  theologian.  Earlier  this  year  he 
served  a  short  term  as  professor  of  re- 
ligion in  the  College  of  the  Gulf  States 
at  Mobile,  Ala.,  a  project  planned  for  re- 
tired educators  still  interested  in  teaching. 
Dr.  Russell  is  the  author  of  "A  History 
of  Quakerism,"  which  won  him  the  May- 
flower literary  award,  and  several  other 
volumes  on  religious  subjects. 

He  is  survived  by  his  wife,  the  former 
Lieuetta  Cox,  a  childhood  friend  whom  he

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  October,  1951 


I  made  the  right  choice  the  first  time! 


1  wanted  to  avoid  a  trial-and-error  beginning. 
So  in  January,  1949,  after  I  graduated  from  UCLA,  I 
made  a  list  of  the  four  things  I  wanted  most  out  of  a  career. 

(1)  was  a  business  of  my  own  requiring  no  capital; 

(2)  was  an  income  not  limited  by  slow,  scheduled  raises 
or  a  ceiling;  (3)  a  sense  of  contributing  something  to 
society,  and  (4)  the  chance  to  live  in  the  community  of 
my  choice. 

The  only  career  that  fitted  all  these  points,  I  was 
rather  surprised  to  learn,  was  life  insurance.  I  had  liked 
the  advertising  of  New  England  Mutual,  so  I  stopped  in 
at  one  of  their  Los  Angeles  offices.  I  was  really  sold  by 
the  caliber  of  the  men  I  met  there,  and  by  their  sincerity 
and  helpful  attitude.  I  signed  up,  and  started  in  on  the 
company's  comprehensive  training  program. 

During  my  second  year  in  the  business,  I  sold  enough 
life  insurance  to  bring  me  two  or  three  times  the  income 
I  could  have  expected  from  a  salaried  job,  so  soon  out  of 
college.  And  at  the  same  time,  I  have  the  satisfaction  of 
adding  to  the  security  and  peace  of  mind  of  the  families 
I  have  served. 

No  wonder  I'm  sure  that,  in  choosing  a  career  and  a 
company,  I  made  the  right  choice  the  first  time ! 


If  you  would  like  more  information  about  a  career  in 
which  your  individual  ability  and  industry— and  nothing 
else  —  determine  your  income,  write  Mr.  H.  C.  Chaney, 
Director  of  Agencies,  501  Boylston  St.,  Boston  17,  Mass. 


One  reason  New  England  Mutual  agents  do  so  well  is  that 
they  have  a  truly  fine  product  to  sell.  The  New  England  Mutual 
life  insurance  policy  is  a  liberal  and  flexible  contract  that  can 
give  you  just  the  kind  of  financial  help  5'ou  require. 

And  you  will  be  pleasandy  surprised  to  find  that  the  rates 
for  many  New  England  Mutual  policies  are  lower  today  than 
they  were  20  years  ago! 

If  you  are  interested  in  having  your  life  insurance  program 
custom-tailored  to  fit  your  personal  or  business  needs,  get  in 
touch  with  one  of  your  own  alumni  listed  below,  or  one  of 
the  other  700  college-trained  men  who  represent  New  England 
Mutual  from  Maine  to  Hawaii. 

These  Duke  University  men  are  New  England  Mutual 
representatives: 

Kenneth  V.  Robinson,  '31,  Hartford 
George  D.  Davis.  CLU.  '37,  Charlotte 
Charles  R.  Williams,  '42,  Manchester 

New  England  Mutual  would  like  to  add  several  qualified 
Duke  University  men  to  its  sales  organization  which  is  lo- 
cated in  the  principal  cities  from  coast  to  coast.  If  you  are 
interested,  write  to  Mr.  Chaney  as  directed  above.

What  happens  to  all  the  college  graduates 
General  Electric  hires? 


About  55  per  cent  of  the  graduates  of  General  Electric's 
Business  Training  Course  are  now  making  their  careers  in 
accounting  and  auditing  work.  About  17  per  cent  are  in 
marketing;  15  per  cent  in  administrative  and  management; 
3  per  cent  in  advertising;  3  per  cent  in  manufacturing; 
with  7  per  cent  in  fields  ranging  from  purchasing  to 
employee  relations. 

Of  the  more  than  ten  thousand  engineers  and  other 
specialists  at  General  Electric,  about  60  per  cent  are  in 
some  phase  of  engineering  or  research,  with  20  per  cent  in 


marketing,  and  the  other  20  per  cent  in  manufacturing, 
purchasing,  etc. 

Figures  like  these  help  to  prove  that  there  are  no  fixed 
paths  for  college  graduates  at  General  Electric.  The  grad- 
uate who  enters  a  G-E  training  program  doesn't  commit 
himself  irrevocably  to  one  type  of  work. 

It's  a  G-E  tradition  to  encourage  the  newcomer  to  look 
around,  try  several  different  assignments  on  for  size,  find 
the  kind  of  job  which  he  believes  will  be  most  satisfying 
and  to  which  he  can  make  the  greatest  contribution.

An  Undergraduate's  View 

(Continued  from  page  247) 
The  next  Saturday  was  a  slight  im- 
provement in  the  eyes  of  the  student,  in 
that  the  Pitt  meet  came  over  the  local 
television  station.  Something  new  for  the 
Duke  student,  the  televised  game  gave 
rise  to  a  new  fraternity  sport — the  TV 
open  house.  For  three  and  a  half  hours, 
the  brothers  and  dates  sat  in  darkened 
chapter  rooms,  gulping  punch  and  cookies, 
and  wildly  cheering  the  tiny  figures  ca- 
vorting on  the  screen.  But  with  the  first 
real  live  home  game,  the  consensus  of 
opinion  was  that  TV  was  "awright"  but 
there's  no  substitute  for  the  real  thing. 

And  so  the  year  is  well  begun,  the  cycle 
well  entered  into.  To  the  accustomed  ear, 
the  campus  is  quiet.  Only  the  spirited 
cheers  from  nocturnal  pep  rallies  anfl 
occasional  outbursts  of  song  rise  above 
the  ever-present  murmur.  To  the  accus- 
tomed mind,  life  moves  at  an  even  and 
gradual  pace.  Only  the  weekend  parties 
and  unexpected  quizzes  jar  the  pattern. 
Old  students  and  new,  men  and  women  are 
going  about  the  business  of  education,  at 
times  perhaps  frivolously,  but  in  general, 
with  a  directness  of  purpose  that  is  al- 
ways a  surprise  to  their  elders.

NO.  II... THE  ROOSTER 


Lou  have  to  get  up  early  in  the  morning  to  put  one  over  on  this 
cock-of-the-walk !  When  it  came  to  making  "quick-trick"  experiments 
of  cigarette  mildness,  he  stated  flatly,  "That's  strictly  for  clucks" ! 
How  'ya  going  to  keep  'em  down  on  the  farm — when  they  know 
there's  one  convincing  way  to  prove  cigarette  mildness! 

It's  the  sensible  test .  . .  the  30-day  Camel  Mildness  Test,  which 
simply  asks  you  to  try  Camels  as  a  steady  smoke — on  a  day 
after  day  basis.  No  snap  judgments.  Once  you've  enjoyed  Camels 
for  30  days  in  your  "T-Zone"  (T  for  Throat,  T  for  Taste) , 
you'll  see  why  . . . 

After  all  the  Mildness  tests  . . .

The  Homecoming  Queen,  Miss  Ruth  Ann  Fisher,  a  junior 
from  Raleigh,  N.  C,  is  escorted  from  the  field  by  William  M. 
Werber,  '30,  president  of  the  Alumni  Association,  after  the  half-

before  some  35,000  Homecoming  spectators.

The  attendance  at  Homecoming  was  the  largest  and 
most  enthusiastic  in  the  history  of  such  events.  More 
alumni  came  earlier  and  stayed  longer  than  ever  before. 
The  addition  of  tables  at  the  Homecoming  Barbecue  made 
it  possible  for  the  alumni  to  see  each  other  and  visit  in 
comfort.  In  every  way  those  present  expressed  their  ap- 
proval of  the  idea  of  having  the  luncheon  in  the  old  gym 
on  the  West  Campus,  rain  or  shine;  so  if  you  were  not 
happy  with  the  arrangements,  now  is  the  time  to  speak 
up  or  first  thing  you  know  the  place  will  become  estab- 
lished through  habit.  The  student  decorations  on  Friday 
night  were  viewed  by  several  thousands  of  alumni,  towns- 
people, and  members  of  the  University  community.  Home- 
coming seems  to  get  bigger  and  better  every  year! 


The  Engineers  had  their  business  meeting  on  Saturday 
morning.  The  lawyers  had  planned  to  have  an  occasion 
on  Saturday  morning,  but  because  their  building  wasn't 
ready — you  see,  they  are  doing  Fall  cleaning — they  de- 
cided to  put  it  off  until  the  day  of  the  Carolina-Duke 
game.  The  Law  alumni  who  haven't  seen  the  building 
since  it  has  been  painted  and  had  the  Fall  cleaning  would 
do  well  to  come  by  and  see  it.    It's  mighty  pretty. 


Basketball  season  gets  under  way  on  December  1  at 
home.  Our  first  opponent  is  Temple  University.  There 
is  a  complete  schedule  in  this  issue  of  the  Register.  If 
you  would  like  a  card  schedule  for  your  desk  or  pocket, 
drop  us  a  line. 


December  15  is  the  deadline  for  applications  for  the 
Angier  Duke  awards.  If  there  is  a  young  man  or  woman 
in  your  neighborhood  who  should  be  a  candidate  for  these 
awards,  please  have  them  ask  their  principal  about  the 
awards  or  write  directly  to  the  Alumni  Office. 


Founders  Day  is  December  11.    Put  a  ring  around  this 
date  on  your  calendar  and  plan  to  be  back  on  the  campus. 


More  than  2,200  alumni  and  friends  have  made  gifts  to 
the  Development  Program  since  Commencement,  This 
participation  is  wonderful,  but  it  is  not  good  enough  for 
the  Duke  alumni  family.  The  program  will  not  be  a  suc- 
cess unless  your  name  is  listed  as  a  donor.  Remember, 
Duke  University  didn't  begin  as  a  university.  It  started 
as  a  cooperative  movement  in  the  little  town  of  Trinity 
because  a  few  people  wanted  better  training  for  their  sons 
and  daughters  and  were  willing  to  give  in  accordance  with 
their  means  to  establish  Union  Institute.  If  each  of  you 
will  give  according  to  your  means,  whatever  the  gift  may 
be,  Duke  University  will  continue  to  be  a  great  institution.

Dear  Friends : 

I  appreciate  the  Register  so  much.  I 
knew  Plummer  Stewart  at  Old  Trinity. 
Glad  to  know  he  lived  a  very  useful  life. 
I  was  in  the  class  of  '94,  but  could  not 
graduate  for  want  of  funds.  Have  just 
passed  my  eighty-first  birthday. 

I  notice  you  have  a  new  pictorial  folder. 
I  would  like  so  much  to  have  a  copy. 
One  of  your  fellow  alumni, 

Very  sincerely,

As  a  retired  missionary,  my  income  of 
$75.00  a  month  does  not  make  it  possible 
for  me  to  help  in  any  amount  that  counts. 
But  this  small  pledge  for  your  time  of 
three  years  will  help  you  to  "ring  up  an- 
other record  of  success"  for  our  class,  per- 
haps. So  here  is  my  small  token  gift  and 
pledge.  I  wish  it  might  be  fifty  times  that 
amount. 

My  short  six  months  at  Duke  Univer- 
sity in  the  '90's  pay  me  well  in  friends 
and  in  a  feeling  of  ownership  of  our 
great  University.

Karachi,  Pakistan 

Your  letter  of  June  27th  addressed  to 
me  in  care  of  International  General  Elec- 
tric (India),  reminds  me  that  I  have  been 
very  lax  in  keeping  the  Department  ad- 
vised about  my  whereabouts  and  also  I 
have  followed  my  past  practice  for  being 
generally  negligent  in  correspondence.  My 
only  plea  is  that  in  building  a  new  busi- 
ness in  a  new  country,  there  does  not  seem 
to  be  time  enough  to  maintain  contacts 
with  the  past.  Perhaps  the  Duke  psy- 
chologists would  have  some  comments  to 
make  on  this,  but  actually  it  seems  as 
though  all  of  us  are  looking  only  into  the 
future,  and  Duke  and  North  Carolina 
seem  many  miles  and  many  years  away. 

I  particularly  appreciate  your  writing 
to  inform  me  of  a  Duke  post-graduate 
from  India  who  will  be  returning  to  this 
Continent.  Unfortunately  it  is  doubtful 
that  we  shall  meet  because  I  have  been 
transferred  from  our  Indian  Company 
back  to  the  staff  of  our  New  York  office, 
and  I  am  stationed  in  Karachi  as  a  terri- 
torial representative  of  the  New  York 
Company,  assigned  to  Pakistan  and  Af- 
ghanistan. As  you  have  noted  in  recent 
newspapers,  there  is  not  the  interchange

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  November,  1951 


Did  You  Know  President  Few? 


Your  University  Press  is  publishing  in  December  a  collection  of  his 
papers  and  addresses  which  you  will  want  for  your  library.  A  biographical 
appraisal  which  constitutes  over  one-third  of  the  book  makes  for  fascinating 
reading.  Since  William  P.  Few  was  associated  with  your  institution  for 
over  forty  years — and  as  President  led  it  through  the  important  years  of 
changing  from  Trinity  College  to  Duke  University — his  life  and  writings 
are  of  interest  not  only  to  you  who  knew  him,  but  to  you  who  only  know 
of  his  work.

Homecoming 


Upper  left,  the  Duke  University  Band  formed  a  champagne 
glass  to  toast  the  Homecoming  Queen  at  half  time.  Realism 
was  achieved  with  soap  bubhles  emerging  from  the  top  of  the 
glass.  The  queen  and  her  court  entered  the  field  through  the 
hollow  stem  of  the  glass. 

Center,  above,  William  M.  Werber,  '30,  president  of  the  Gen- 
eral Alumni  Association  crowns  pretty  Ruth  Ann  Fisher,  junior 
from  Alspaugh,  Homecoming  Queen.  Charles  Slay,  son  of 
Dean  and  Mrs.  James  Slay,  was  crownbearer. 

Top  right,  the  largest  barbecue  crowd  in  history  gathered  in 
the  West  Campus  old  gym  for  heaping  plates  of  barbecue  and 
fried  chicken. 

Lower  left,  a  huge  pep  meeting,  complete  with  band  and 
cheer  leaders,  climaxed  an  evening  of  gaiety  and  carnival  spirit 
on  Fridaj'  before  Homecoming.  After  viewing  the  decorations 
and  attending  open  houses  on  campus,  Duke  rooters  were  in  the 
mood  to  do  some  cheering. 


Center,  below,  House  L  took  freshman  honors  for  first  place 
decoration.  A  cheerful  Blue  Devil  plunged  his  trident  into  a 
broiling  and  grimacing  Cavalier,  who  was  emitting  groans  of 
anguish  all  evening. 

Right  center,  the  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  Cowvalier,  being  milked 
dry,  of  course,  by  the  Blue  Devil,  marched  off  with  first  prize 
for  fraternity  decorations. 

Lower  right,  Alice  Gore,  of  the  Alumni  Office,  pins  a  Home- 
coming badge  on  Eugene  Edmonds,  '49,  Hampton,  Va.,  while 
his  wife  looks  on.  Agnes  Daub  Jones  (Mrs.  G.  Umstead),  '24, 
Garner,  N.  C,  registers  her  name  with  Dot  Whitaker  of  the 
Alumni  Office. 


Homecoming  Crowd  Is  One  of  the  Largest 

Students  and  Alumni  Join  in  Full  Week  End  of  Gay  Events 


More  than  700  alumni,  coming  from  21 
states,  Washington,  D.  C,  and  Argentina, 
registered  for  the  1951  Duke  Homecoming 
on  October  27.  It  was  one  of  the  largest 
registrations  in  Duke  Homecoming  his- 
tory. Many  more,  particularly  from  the 
immediate  area,  attended  the  game  and 
other  events  of  the  week  end,  but  did  not 
get  to  the  Union  Lobby  to  register. 

The  class  of  1950  had  the  largest  regis- 
tration, followed  closely  by  1951  and 
1949.  Outside  of  North  Carolina,  Vir- 
ginia and  South  Carolina  were  the  states 
with  the  most  Duke  alumni  returning. 

Mary  Katheryne  (Kay)  Jordan,  '49, 
coming  all  the  way  from  Buenos  Aires, 
Argentina,  made  the  longest  trip  to  at- 
tend Homecoming.  Other  alumni  who 
traveled  many  miles  to  take  part  in  the 
festivities  of  the  week  end  were :  Howard 
"Rube"  Churchill,  '39,  Portland,  Me.; 
Ernest  Cutler,  Jr.,  '45,  Newmarket,  N.  H. ; 
Wylie  Gardt,  '39,  Merrimac,  Mass.;  Rex 
Gresham,  '47,  Dallas,  Tex.;  R.  M.  John- 
ston, Jr.,  '45,  Evanston,  111. ;  George  Bush- 
nell,  Jr.,  '51,  Winnetka,  111.;  Charles  W. 
Hill,  '43,  La  Grange,  111. ;  J.  Robert  Hot- 
tel,  '43,  Albany,  N.  Y.;  John  W.  Patten, 
'43,  and  Jane  Strohm  Patten,  '45,  In- 
dianapolis, Ind. ;  Henry  C.  Brown,  '41, 
Gainesville,  Fla.;  C.  C.  Parker,  '21, 
Tampa,  Fla. ;  R.  L.  Allen,  '47,  St.  Peters- 
burg, Fla.;  and  R.  H.  Ricks,  '33,  Ft. 
Myers,  Fla. 

The  Plyler  twins,  Drs.  M.  T.  and  A.  W., 
'92,  who  celebrated  their  84th  birthdays 
in  September,  were  the  oldest  alumni  to 
register.  Both  famous  football  players  in 
their  college  days,  they  played,  in  fact,  in 
the  first  interstate,  intercollegiate  game  in 
the  South.  That  game  just  happened  to 
be  between  Virginia  and  Duke,  and  it  is 
of  further  coincidence  that  Virginia  was 
victor  on  that  memorable  occasion  also. 

Homecoming  Carnival 

Campus  decorations,  complete  and  in 
working  order,  were  floodlighted  Friday 
night.  According  to  popular  opinion,  the 
displays  were  "best  ever."  Crowds  from 
town  joined  students  and  alumni  as  spec- 
tators on  the  carnival-like  campus.  BOS 
and  Sandals  members,  stationed  at  the 
bus  stop  and  between  the  dormitory 
quadrangles  and  gym,  served  as  guides. 
Some  of  the  crowd  came  early  enough  to 


see  the  decorations  and  to  be  at  Page 
Auditorium  in  time  to  see  the  Duke 
Players'  production  of  "Room  Service." 
Fraternity  open  houses  supplied  students 
and  their  alumni  brothers  with  cider,  cokes 
and  cookies.  The  open  houses,  a  new  thing 
for  Friday  night,  provided  a  resting  place 
for  weary  alumni,  who  had  walked  from 
one  end  of  the  campus  to  the  other  to  see 
the  sights.  All  the  quadrangles  were 
turned  into  miniature  midways  with  pup- 
pet shows,  charging  Blue  Devils,  and 
harassed  Cavaliers.  The  ATO  House  of 
Horrors  completed  the  carnival  atmos- 
phere. A  huge  pep  meeting  climaxed  the 
evening.  ; 

A  committee  made  up  of  townspeople 
who  judged  the  displays  found  their  job 
was  extremely  difficult  because  all  the 
decorations  were  so  eye-catching.  Win- 
ners were  kept  secret  until  halftime  on 
Saturday  when  they  were  awarded  prizes 
by  Carl  Sapp,  '49,  assistant  manager  of 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  assisted  by 
Carrel  Power,  Sandals  president,  and 
Duane  Wolf,  BOS  president.  House  L 
won  first  prize  for  freshmen ;  House  P 
took  second  place,  and  honorable  mention 
was  given  to  House  M. 

Lambda  Chi  Alpha,  with  their  startled- 
looking  Cow-valier,  won  acclaim  as  win- 
ner of  the  first  prize  for  fraternities, 
while  Phi  Kappa  Sigma  took  second  with 
their  football  team  jury  and  Judge  Mur- 
ray sentencing  a  red  nosed  Cavalier  for 
his  crimes.  Of  course,  a  Blue  Devil  was 
serving  as  attorney.  Honorable  mention 
was  given  Pi  Kappa  Alpha,  Alpha  Tau 
Omega,  Phi  Delta  Theta,  Sigma  Phi  Ep- 
silon  and  Town  Boys. 

Bartecue  and  Chicken 

Registration  reopened  at  9 :00  o'clock 
in  the  Union  Lobby  on  Saturday  morning. 
By  the  time  the  annual  alumni  barbecue 
began  at  11 :30,  the  campus  was  jammed. 
Down  in  the  gym,  heaping  plates  of  bar- 
becue, fried  chicken  and  all  the  trimmings 
were  served  to  more  than  850  people,  the 
largest  barbecue  crowd  on  record.  The 
student  Homecoming  Committee  served  as 
special  hosts.  Decorations  in  keeping 
with  the  football  atmosphere  had  already 
been  put  up  for  the  dance  to  be  held  that 
evening,  adding  to  the  gaiety  of  the  oc- 
casion. 


The  Virginia  Band  performed  for  the 
Homecoming  crowd  before  the  game.  At 
the  half  the  Duke  Band  went  through 
several  intricate  formations.  The  stellar 
halftime  event  was  the  crowning  of  pretty 
Ruth  Ann  Fisher,  Raleigh,  N.  C,  as 
Homecoming  Queen  by  William  M.  Wer- 
ber,  '30,  Washington,  D.  C,  president  of 
the  General  Alumni  Association.  The 
queen  entered  the  field  through  the  stem 
of  a  hollow-stemmed  champagne  glass 
formed  by  the  band  to  toast  her  highness. 
Maid  of  honor  was  Yvonne  Schweistris, 
Greensboro,  N.  C,  and  the  little  crown 
bearer  was  Charlie  Slay,  son  of  Dean  and 
Mrs.  J.  M.  Slay.  Other  attendants  were 
Molly  Bixby,  Detroit,  Mich. ;  Joanne  Can- 
non, Ankara,  Turkey;  Ann  Goode,  Lin- 
colnton,  N.  C. ;  Nancy  Hobbs,  Rocky 
Mount,  N.  C. ;  Joyce  Mouillesseaux,  Nurs- 
ing, Glen  Rock,  N.  J.;  Kay  Richards, 
Marion,  Pa.;  Betsy  Thompson,  Durham; 
and  Lois  Waldrop,  Greenville,  N.  C.  Fol- 
lowing the  coronation,  the  band  formed  a 
football  helmet  under  which  the  Home- 
coming decoration  awards  were  presented. 

Following  the  gridiron  battle,  many 
alumni  attended  traditional  post-game 
fraternity  open  houses.  Pi  Kappa  Alpha 
observed  their  Golden  Anniversary  with 
a  banquet  for  student  members  and 
alumni  at  Harvey's  cafeteria. 

Senior-sponsored  Dance 

Though  the  score  left  much  to  be  de- 
sired, spirits  did  not  seem  to  be  dampened 
in  the  least.  After  dinner,  many  alumni 
attended  the  Homecoming  dance  spon- 
sored by  the  senior  class.  The  Duke  Am- 
bassadors furnished  music  for  dancing. 
At  intermission,  Dick  Crowder,  president 
of  the  Trinity  College  senior  class,  pre- 
sented Queen  Ruth  Ann  Fisher,  her  court, 
and  their  escorts.  On  behalf  of  the  class, 
Dick  presented  a  silver  loving  cup  to  the 
queen. 

Although  official  Homecoming  activities 
ended  Sunday  morning  with  a  special 
Homecoming  sermon  by  Dr.  James  T. 
Cleland  entitled  "A  Colony  of  Heaven," 
a  number  of  alumni  were  still  on  hand  to 
attend  the  Sunday  night  sing.  An  extra- 
special  production  of  "Ballad  for  Ameri- 
cans" was  presented  by  Giles  House  and 
several  West  Campus  students.

CHAPTER  (M, 


Alpha-Alpha  Chapter  of  Pi  Kappa  Alpha  fraternity  observed  its  golden  anni- 
versary on  the  Duke  Campus  during  Homecoming  week  end.  Some  500  members 
of  the  fraternity  were  on  the  campus  for  the  event.  Highlight  of  the  50th  year  cele- 
bration was  a  banquet  at  Harvey's  Cafeteria  on  Saturday  evening-.  At  the  speakers' 
table  were,  left  to  right,  Robert  G.  Moseley,  junior  from  Bluefleld,  W.  Va.,  program 
chairman ;  Colonel  John  D.  Langston,  '03,  Goldsboro,  N.  C. ;  E.  Wade  Cranford,  '03, 
Troy,  N.  C. ;  Dr.  Hersey  E.  Spence,  '07,  Duke  professor  of  Biblical  Literature  and

chapter  this  year.  Mr.  Cranford  and  Col.  Langston  are  two  of  the  three  living  charter 
members  of  the  Duke  chapter  founded  in  1901.  Edward  O.  Smithdeal,  '03,  Roanoke, 
Va.,  the  third  living  charter  member,  was  unable  to  attend.  All  three  were  awarded 
charter  member  certificates.  The  chapter  was  also  presented  national  fraternity 
awards  for  scholarship  and  proficiency,  based  on  last  year's  achievements. 


'Dads'  Day"  Draws  250  Fathers 


Duke  University  "Dads'  Day,"  held 
on  November  10,  brought  approximate- 
ly 250  fathers  of  Duke  freshman  and 
sophomore  men  to  the  campus.  Dads' 
Day  is  sponsored  annually  by  the  Duke 
Y.M.C.A.  Bob  Younts,  junior  from 
High  Point  is  president  of  the  organi- 
zation this  year. 

The  fathers  were  guests  of  the  Duke 
University  Athletic  Association  at  the 
Duke-Wake  Forest  football  game  in 
the  afternoon.  Robert  B.  Cox,  clean 
of  undergraduate  men,  was  speaker  at 
the  annual  father-son  banquet  held  that 
evening  in  the  Union  dining  hall. 

A  Saturday  night  variety  show,  de- 
picting the  "Inside  View"  of  campus 
life  furnished  after  dinner  entertain- 
ment. Dick  Hanner,  junior  from  Ashe- 
ville,  was  master-of-ceremonies.     Pre- 


sented in  the  East  Campus  Audito- 
rium, "Inside  View"  contained  acts 
from  last  year's  Hoof  'n'  Horn  show 
"Belles  and  Ballots"  and  a  special  per- 
formance by  Durham  ventriloquist  Les- 
lie Hummel.  Song  stunts  by  a  triple 
trio  from  the  Men's  Glee  Club,  a  fresh- 
man orchestra,  an  adagio  dance  team, 
and  a  Duke  Players  reading  completed 
the  show. 

Dr.  William  E.  Parks,  president  of

Bertram  Russell  Speaks 

A  capacity  crowd  filled  the  East  Cam- 
pus Auditorium  on  the  evening  of  No- 
vember 6  to  hear  Lord  Bertram  Russell, 
winner  of  the  1950  Nobel  Prize  for  Lit- 
erature, speak  on  "How  Can  Civilized 
Man  Be  Happy."  The  79-year-old  writer, 
scientist  and  philosopher  appeared  under 
the  auspices  of  the  Woman's  Student 
Forum  Committee. 

The  author  of  more  books  and  articles 
than  even  he  is  able  to  remember,  Lord 
Russell  believes  that  a  happy  world  is 
possible  and  may  be  brought  about  by 
using  the  right  methods  in  educating  chil- 
dren. 

Lord  Bertram  Russell  is  the  third  Lord 
Russell  and  is  the  grandson  of  Lord  John 
Russell,  who  was  a  British  prime  minister 
under  Queen  Victoria.  He  lives  a  few 
miles  from  London  with  his  son  and 
daughter-in-law  Susan  Lindsay,  daughter 
of  American  poet  Vachel  Lindsay. 

Coach  Coombs  Honored 

Duke  University  is  not  the  only  place 
which  can  boast  of  having  a  Coombs 
Field.  Colby  College,  the  alma  mater  of 
Duke  baseball  coach  John  W.  Coombs, 
dedicated  its  new  baseball  park  on  the 
Saturday  of  their  last  commencement  in 
June,  1951.  It  is  named  Coombs  Field 
in  honor  of  Coach  Coombs,  who  played  ball 
at  Colby  and  began  his  major  league  base- 
ball career  after  graduating  from  there 
in  1906. 

John  Coombs  came  to  be  known  as  Colby 
Jack  and  rose  to  pitching  fame  with  the 
Philadelphia  Athletics.  During  his  first 
year  in  major  league  ball  he  had  the  dis- 
tinction of  pitching  and  winning  a  24-in- 
ning  game.  He  had  a  record  of  five  wins 
and  no  losses  in  World  Series  pitching. 
Three  of  those  wins  were  in  1910. 

Almost  all  of  the  men  who  played  base- 
ball with  Coach  Coombs  at  Colby  were  on 
hand  for  the  reunion  and  field  dedication. 
He  spoke  at  the  dedication,  and  later  was 
one  of  the  speakers  at  the  alumni  dinner. 

Coach  Coombs,  who  has  been  head  base- 
ball coach  at  Duke  since  1929  coached  at 
Williams  and  Princeton  and  was  manager 
of  the  Philadelphia  Phillies  for  a  year 
before  coming  to  Duke.

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  November,  1951 


The  Founders  Day  Program 

Gordon  Dean,  LL.M.  '32,  AEC  Chairman,  Will  Speak 


Speaker  at  the  1951  observance  of 
Founders  Day,  on  Tuesday,  December  11, 
will  be  one  of  Duke's  most  distinguished 
alumni,  Gordon  E.  Dean,  LL.M.  '32,  now 
chairman  of  the  Atomic  Energy  Commis- 
sion. 

Mr.  Dean  will  speak  in  Page  Auditorium 
during  exercises  beginning  at  10  :20  a.m. 

Recognized  as  a  brilliant  lawyer  and  an 
outstanding  capable  administrator,  he  was 
named  AEC  chairman  in  September,  1950. 
In  this  position  he  easily  rates  as  one  of 
the  nation's  most  important  men. 

A  native  of  Seattle,  Wash.,  Mr.  Dean 
received  the  A.B.  degree  from  Redlands 
University  in  1927,  the  J.D.  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  Southern  California  in  1930, 
and  the  LL.M.  from  Duke  in  1932.  From 
1930  to  1934  he  was  an  instructor  of  law 
and  assistant  to  the  dean  in  Duke  Law 
School. 

From  1936  through  1939  he  was  with 
the  Department  of  Justice,  first  as  a  spe- 
cial attorney  in  the  Criminal  Law  Divi- 
sion and  later  as  an  executive  assistant  to 
the  United  States  Attorney.  The  follow- 
ing five  years  he  engaged  in  private  prac- 
tice of  law  in  Washington,  D.  C,  leaving 
this  practice  in  1945  to  spend  a  year  as 
issistant  to  Supreme  Court  Justice  Robert 
H.  Jackson  during  the  prosecution  of 
Nazi  war  criminals  at  Nuremberg,  Ger- 
many. 

After  the  Nuremberg  trials  he  returned 
to  the  University  of  Southern  California 
is  a  professor  of  criminal  law,  until,  in 
May,  1949,  he  was  named  a  member  of 
the  five-man  Atomic  Energy  Commission, 
succeeding  to  the  chairmanship  via  presi- 
lential  appointment  in  1950. 

Gordon  Dean  is  the  third  in  a  series 
jf  distinguished  alumni  to  return  to  the 
jampus  for  Founders  Day  observances. 
Last  year  James  Rhyne  Killian,  '25,  presi- 
lent  of  Massachusetts  Institute  of  Tech- 
aology,  spoke,  and  the  year  before  it  was 
jreorge  V.  Allen,  '24,  ambassador  to  Yugo- 
slavia and  one  of  the  nation's  top-ranking 
3areer  diplomats. 

Students,  faculty,  and  alumni  alike  are 
ooking  forward  to  hearing  Gordon  Dean 
speak  at  the  Founders  Day  program. 
Although  the  subject  of  his  speech  has 
aot  yet  been  announced,  it  is  expected 
;hat  it  will  be  particularly  appropriate  to 
the  times  and  will  carry  a  message  few 
will  want  to  miss. 


The  Program 

The  tentative  program  for  the  Founders 
Day  exercises  follows  the  traditional  pat- 
tern. 

Carillon  music  will  begin  shortly  after 
10  a.m.  when  classes  are  dismissed  and  the 
audience  gathers  in  Page  Auditorium. 
Instrumental  selections  will  be  offered  by 
the  Duke  University  Brass  Ensemble,  di- 
rected this  year  by  Paul  Bryan,  Duke 
Marching  Band  director. 

The  program,  presided  over  by  Presi- 
dent Edens,  will  include  vocal  selections 
by  the  Men's  Glee  Club  prior  to  Gordon 
Dean's  address.  The  address  will  be  fol- 
lowed by  the  presentation  of  a  tree  by 
the  presidents  of  the  senior  classes  of 
Trinity  College,  the  Woman's  College,  and 
the  College  of  Engineering. 

The  traditional  tree  planting  ceremony 
has  been  changed  for  this  year,  primarily 
in  order  to  accommodate  spectators.  The 
actual  planting  no  longer  takes  place  in 
an  easily  reached  locality,  since  the  origi- 


Gordon  Dean 

nally  planned  row  between  East  and 
West  Campuses  has  been  completed.  The 
tree,  always  an  oak,  will  be  presented  to 
the  University  at  the  end  of  exercises  in 
Page  as  part  of  the  auditorium  exercises 
and  will  be  planted  later  in  an  appropri- 
ate spot  on  the  campus.  This  will  be  the 
22nd  anniversary  of  the  ceremony  which 
began  with  the  Class  of  1930. 


National  Council  to  Receive  Fund  Report 


The  National  Council  will  hold  its  regu- 
lar semi-annual  meeting  on  Founders  Day 
with  the  principal  item  of  business  ex- 
pected to  be  a  report  on  the  progress  of 
the  Development  Campaign  by  Benjamin 
F.  Few,  '15,  A.M.  '16,  the  Campaign's 
national  chairman. 

Members  of  the  National  Council  will 
meet  for  luncheon  with  members  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  in  the  Ballroom  of 
West  Campus  Union  at  12:15  p.m.  Gor- 
don Dean  is  expected  to  be  a  special  guest 
at  this  luncheon. 

The  business  session  will  follow  imme- 
diately with  the  Council's  chairman,  Alonzo 
Edwards,  '25,  presiding.  Reports  on  the 
activities  of  various  committees  will  be 
submitted  as  one  of  the  earlier  items  on 
the  agenda. 

Mr.  Few's  report  is  eagerly  anticipated, 
since  it  is  expected  that,  by  that  time,  the 
campaign  will  be  nearing  its  goal  of  eight 
and  one-half  million  dollars.  Only  about 
three  weeks  will  remain  before  the  Cam- 
paign closses  on  December  31,  so  this  re- 
port assumes  a  vital  significance. 


It  was  at  the  last  meeting  of  the  Na- 
tional Council,  at  Commencement  in  June, 
that  it  was  voted  to  extend  the  Campaign 
until  December  31,  since  it  had  been  im- 
possible to  reach  all  alumni  groups  by  the 
original  deadline  of  June  30.  In  the  re- 
port at  that  time  it  was  stated  that  only 
about  one  million  dollars  remained  to  be 
raised  to  reach  the  goal  that  had  been  set 
after  a  detailed  consideration  of  the  Uni- 
versity's needs  and  plans  for  the  future. 

Since  that  time  nearly  2,500  elonors 
have  been  added  to  the  list  and  a  substan- 
tial amount  of  money  has  been  raised. 
The  December  issue  of  the  Register  will 
carry  a  full  report  of  the  latest  progress. 

One  thing  that  has  assisted  greatly  in 
the  fall  campaign  has  been  the  work  of 
class  agents  who  have  resumed  their  ac- 
tivities of  writing  to  classmates  urging 
participation.  Two  sets  of  letters  have 
gone  out  to  all  alumni  and  returns  are 
still  coming  in  at  a  rapid  rate.  This 
phase  of  the  program,  added  to  the  splen- 
did work  of  area  workers,  has  boosted 
the  fund  close  to  its  goal.

College  Presidents 

There  Are  18  Among  Duke  Alumni 


From  its  very  earliest  beginnings  one 
of  the  principal  missions  of  Duke  Uni- 
versity was  the  education  of  preachers 
and  teachers.  In  this  way,  the  founding 
fathers  felt,  the  ideas  and  ideals  that 
motivated  the  institution's  establishment 
could  best  be  perpetuated. 

Duke  has  grown  since  its  first  charter 
was  granted  by  the  North  Carolina  State 
Legislature  more  than  a  hundred  years 
ago.  Among  its  graduates  now  are  law- 
yers, doctors,  scientists,  statesmen,  busi- 
ness executives,  and  men  and  women  in 
almost  all  of  the  productive  walks  of 
life.  It  is  no  longer  a  small  college.  It 
is  one  of  the  nation's  major  universities, 
and  it  engages  in  all  of  the  educational 
activities  that  the  name  "university"  im- 
plies. 

But  through  the  years  it  has  retained 
many  of  the  worthwhile  characteristics 
of  its  smaller  predecessors,  and  one  of 
these  is  a  continued  emphasis  on  the 
training  of  men  and  women  who,  in  turn, 
will  assume  the  vital  responsibility  of  ad- 
ministering to  the  educational  needs  of 
new  generations. 

As  a  rule  educators  do  not  win  wide- 
spread public  acclaim,  as  do  members  of 
other  professions  more  in  the  public  eye. 
They  seem  to  operate  within  quiet  spheres, 
content  to  let  the  deeds  of  their  students 
and  colleagues  speak  for  their  own  ac- 
complishments. 

One  way  in  which  outstanding  service 
to  education  may  be  recognized,  however, 
is  in  the  selection  of  men  and  women  to 
fill  the  presidencies  of  the  nation's  insti- 
tutions of  higher  learning. 

Among  its  alumni,  according  to  a  recent 
count,  Duke  has  17  men  and  one  woman 
currently  occupying  the  position  of  chief 
administrator  in  as  many  colleges. 

It  is  noteworthy  that  16  of  the  18  col- 
lege presidents  who  call  Duke  Alma  Mater 
were  elected  to  office  within  the  past  10 
years.  And  most  of  them  took  office  at 
a  youthful  age. 

For  example,  DONALD  C.  AGNEW, 
A.M.  '32,  Ph.D.  '36,  became  president  of 
Coker  College,  Hartsville,  S.  C,  in  1944 
at  the  age  of  37.  JAMES  R.  BURGESS, 
JR.,  M.Ed.  '36,  became  president  of 
Reinhardt  College,  Waleska,  Ga.,  in  1944 
at  the  age  of  35;  GEORGE  B.  EHL- 
HARDT, B.D.  '46,  of  Brevard  College, 
Brevard,  N.  C,  in  1950  at  the  age  of  35; 


R.  WRIGHT  SPEARS,  B.D.  '36,  of 
Columbia  College,  Columbia,  S.  C,  in 
1951  at  the  age  of  38;  and  DR.  JOHN 
T.  CALDWELL,  A.M.  '36,  of  Alabama 
College,  Montgomery,  Ala.,  at  the  age  of 
35. 

In  1937  HUBERT  SEARCY,  A.M.  '33, 
Ph.D.  '37,  LL.D.  '42,  was  elected  presi- 
dent of  Huntingdon  College,  Montgomery, 
Ala.  At  29  he  became  the  nation's  young- 
est college  president. 

Five  of  Duke's  college  presidents  are 
ministers.  In  addition  to  the  Rev.  George 
Ehlhardt  and  the  Rev.  R.  Wright  Spears, 


Dr.  Charlton  C.  Jernigan,  '25,  A.M. 
'26,  Ph.D.  '35,  assumed  the  presidency 
of  Queens  College,  Charlotte,  N.  C, 
last  August.  He  was  formerly  chair- 
man of  the  Department  of  Classics  at 
Florida  State  University. 

A  native  of  Dunn,  N.  C,  Dr.  Jerni- 
gan began  his  teaching  career  in  1926 
at  Rutherford  College,  where  he  headed 
the  departments  of  English,  Greek, 
and  Latin.  From  1928  to  1930  he 
taught  English  at  the  University  of 
Chicago  while  working  on  a  doctorate 
in  English.  He  returned  to  Duke  in 
1930  to  teach  English,  and  the  next 
year  decided  to  obtain  a  doctorate  in 
Greek  rather  than  in  English.  His 
work  at  Duke  was  done  under  Dr. 
Charles  W.  Peppier,  now  professor 
emeritus. 

Dr.  Jernigan  headed  the  Department 
of  Classics  at  the  Woman's  College  of 
North  Carolina  from  1935  until  1949, 
in  which  year  he  went  to  Florida  State. 

Mrs.  Jernigan  is  the  former  Mar- 
garet Ledbetter,  '25,  A.M.  '31.  Dr.  and 
Mrs.  Jernigan  and  their  two  sons,  ages 
5  and  8,  will  make  their  home  on  the 
Queens  College  Campus.

ner Elk,  N.  C;  and  LUCIAN  E.  ROB- 
ERTS, Ph.D.  '42,  of  Middle  Georgia 
College,  Cochran,  Ga. 

How  many  of  these  alumni  set  forth 
from  the  beginning  with  their  eyes  and 
careers  focused  on  the  eventual  attainment 
of  presidencies,  and  how  many  attained 
their  positions  through  the  course  of 
events  is  difficult  to  determine.  At  least 
three,  however,  seemed  intent  on  careers 
in  educational  administration  when  they 
planned  their  own  college  curricula. 

These  three  attained  advanced  degrees 
in  education  from  Duke  before  taking  up 
the  duties  of  their  present  posts.  In  ad- 
dition to  Mr.  Burgess,  they  are  DENNIS 
HARGROVE  COOKE,  '25,  M.Ed.  '28, 
president  of  High  Point  College,  High 
Point,  N.  C;  and  MERRITT  E.  HOAG, 
M.Ed.  '36,  of  North  Georgia  College, 
Dahlonega,  Ga. 

As  might  be  expected,  practically  every- 
one of  Duke's  18  college  presidents  have 
had  extensive  teaching  experience  in  in- 
stitutions of  higher  learning,  some  of  them 
at  Duke.  But  only  five,  according  to  the 
record,  taught  to  any  great  extent  in  pub- 
lic school  systems.  These  five  are  Dr. 
Agnew,  Mr.  Burgess,  Dr.  Roberts,  RALPH 
WALDO  McDONALD,  A.M.  '27,  Ph.D. 
'33,  of  Bowling  Green  State  University, 
Bowling  Green,  Ohio;  and  SAMUEL  H. 
HOLTON,  '21,  AM.  '25,  of  Louisburg 
College,  Louisburg,  N.  C.  Dr.  McDonald 
taught  at  Duke  as  a  teaching  fellow. 

Six  of  the  18  presidents  found  more 
than  a  love  for  learning  at  Duke.  Their 
wives  are  also  alumnae. 

Mrs.  Agnew  is  the  former  Lucille  Quil- 
len,  A.M.  '32.  Mrs..  Burgess,  the  former 
Martha  Stallings,  was  at  Duke  during  the 
summer  of  1933.  The  wife  of  DR. 
LUTHER  L.  GOBBEL,  '18^  A.M.  '27, 
president  of  Greensboro  College,  Greens- 
boro, N.  C,  is  the  former  Marcia  Rachel 
Russell,  A.M.  '28,  daughter  of  former 
Dean  of  the  Divinity  S;ehool,  the  late  Dr. 
Elbert  Russell.  Mrs.  Samuel  Holton  is 
the  former  Christine  High  Huddy,  R.N. 


'33. 

DR.  RICHARD  A.  HARVILL,  A.M. 
'27,  inaugurated  as  president  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Arizona,  Tucson,  Ariz.,  just 
last  month,  is  married  to  the  former 
George  Lee  Garner,  A.M.  '30.  Another 
recently  elected  president,  CHARLTON 
C.  JERNIGAN,  '25,  A.M.  '26,  Ph.D.  '35, 
of  Queens  College,  Charlotte,  N.  C,  is 
married  to  a  Duke  classmate,  the  former 
Margaret  Ledbetter,  '25,  A.M.  '31. 

Three  of  the  presidents  have,  or  have 
had,  children  enrolled  at  Duke.  Dr. 
Cooke's  son,  Dennis,  Jr.,  graduated  in 
1951 ;  Dr.  Gobbel's  son  Russell  is  a  senior 
this  year;  and  President  Holton's  daugh- 
ter Mary-Marie  is  a  junior. 

The  one  alumna  in  this  distinguished 
category  of  former  Duke  students  is 
MARGARET  DURHAM  ROBEY  (Mrs. 
H.  Russell),  '17,  president  of  Southern 
Seminary  and  Junior  College,  Buena 
Vista,  Va.  Mrs.  Robey  succeeded  her 
father,  the  late  Robert  Lee  Durham,  '91, 
whose  name  is  connected  with  some  of 
Duke's  most  venerable  traditions.  She  was 
president  of  Duke  Alumnae  Association 
in  1933. 

Perhaps  the  most  renowned  of  all  of 
Duke's  alumni  college  presidents  is  DR. 
JAMES  RHYNE  KILLIAN,  '25,  LL.D. 
'49,  chief  executive  of  Massachusetts  In- 
stitute of  Technology,  Cambridge,  Mass. 
Dr.  Killian  succeeded  Dr.  Karl  T.  Comp- 
ton  in  1949  after  beginning  his  career  at 
M.I.T.  as  editor  of  The  M.I.T.  Technology 
Review  and  rose  to  the  vice  presidency 
just  after  World  War  II. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  these  out- 
standing educators  that  Duke  has  con- 
tributed to  the  nation  have,  as  a  group, 
concentrated  their  activities  in  the  South. 
Six  as  presidents  of  North  Carolina  insti- 
tutions ;  three  of  Georgia  schools ;  two  of 
schools  in  South  Carolina,  Alabama,  and 
Virginia;  with  the  remaining  three  dis- 
tributed among  Arizona,  Massachusetts, 
and  Ohio. 

Needless  to  say,  all  of  these  Duke 
alumni  are  influential  members  of  top- 
ranking  educational  bodies  on  state  and 
national  levels.  Many  of  them  are  au- 
thors of  outstanding  and  widely  read  pro- 


fessional treatises,  books,  texts,  and  ar- 
ticles in  various  journals.  Each  of  the 
18  is  recognized  for  accomplishments 
outside  of  administrative  duties  connected 
with  guiding  the  destiny  of  a  college. 
These  accomplishments  cover  such  fields 
as  science,  economics,  law,  religion,  jour- 
nalism, history,  classical  languages,  gov- 
ernment, and  even  politics. 


Dr.  Richard  Anderson  Harvill,  A.M. 
'27,  was  inaugurated  president  of  the 
University  of  Arizona  at  Tucson  on 
November  16.  Duke  was  represented 
at  the  ceremony  by  W.  Speight  Barnes, 
'25,  A.M.  '41,  professor  of  law  at 
Arizona. 

Dr.  Harvill,  a  native  of  Centerville, 
Tenn.,  earned  the  S.B.  degree  from 
Mississippi  State  in  1926  and  the 
Ph.D.  from  Northwestern  in  1932.  He 
taught  economics  at  Mississippi  State, 
at  Duke,  at  Northwestern,  and  at  the 
University  of  Buffalo  before  going  to 
Arizona  as  an  associate  professor  in 
1939.  In  1946  he  became  a  professor 
of  economics  and  dean  of  the  Arizona 
Graduate  School.  In  1947  he  became 
dean  of  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts,  a 
position  he  held  until  elected  to  the 
presidency.  He  has  been  active  in 
numerous  educational  and  professional 
groups  as  an  economist  and  economic 
adviser. 

Mrs.  Harvill  is  the  former  George

Professorship  and  Scholarship  Foundation  Created  for  Engineers 


A  gift  of  $126,000  to  endow  a  chair 
of  learning  and  scholarships  in  the 
College  of  Engineering  at  Duke  Uni- 
versity was  announced  recently  by 
President  Hoiks  Edens. 

The  chair  will  be  known  as  "The 
Jones  Chair  of  Engineering,"  in  honor 
and  memory  of  the  late  J.  A.  Jones  of 
Charlotte,  N.  C,  who  founded  the  J.  A. 
Jones  Construction  Company  in  1894 
and  who  was  a  life  long  supporter  of 
the  Methodist  Church  and  its  institu- 
tions. It  is  also  in  memory  of  his  son, 
the  late  Raymond  A.  Jones,  of  Char- 
lotte. 

Donors  of  the  gift  were  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Edwin  L.  Jones,  Sr.,  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Edwin  L.  Jones,  Jr.,  and  the  J. 
A.  Jones  Construction  Company,  all 
of  Charlotte.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Jones, 
Sr.,  both  graduated  from  Duke  with 
the  Class  of  1912.  Edwin,  Jr.  gradu- 
ated from  the  University's  College  of 
Engineering  in  1948. 


"Duke  University  deeply  appreciates 
the  beneficence  which  creates  this  chair 
of  higher  learning  and  which  will  sup- 
ply scholarship  aid  to  young  men 
training  for  the  engineering  profes- 
sion," Dr.  Edens  stated.  "It  culminates 
many  long  years  of  support  of  Duke 
and  its  activities  by  Mr.  James  Addi- 
son Jones  and  his  son,  Mr.  Edwin  L. 
Jones,  Sr. 

"Mr.  J.  A.  Jones  gave  generously 
and  wisely  to  the  Methodist  Church 
and  its  institutions  throughout  his  life. 
He  was  keenly  aware  of  the  need  for 
strong  support  of  Methodist  educa- 
tional institutions,  such  as  the  one  from 
which  Duke  University  sprang.  He 
was,  as  well,  one  of  North  Carolina's 
pioneers  in  recognizing  the  need  for 
a  fundamental  technical  education  for 
young  men  aspiring  to  the  profession 
of  engineering.  His  son  and  his  grand- 
son, both  Duke  alumni,  inherited  his 
concern  for  the  welfare  of  education 
and   religion   in   the    State   of   North 


Carolina,  as  their  recent  generosity 
testifies. 

"We  welcome  this  opportunity  to 
bring  into  permanent  association  with 
the  University  the  name  of  a  family 
whose  philanthropy  has  greatly  ad- 
vanced the  cause  of  education  in  the 
Southeast." 

Income  from  the  endowed  fund,  the 
donors  specified,  will  be  used  to  pay 
all  or  part  of  the  salary  of  the  dean  of 
the  College  of  Engineering  and  to  give 
substantial  scholarship  assistance  to 
worthy  and  qualified  students  in  the 
College. 

Dean  of  the  College  of  Engineering 
is  William  Holland  Hall,  who  has  been 
at  Duke  since  1915  and  whose  efforts 
contributed  greatly  to  the  founding  of 
the  College  of  Engineering  in  1938  and 
its  subsequent  advancements. 

Edwin  L.  Jones,  Sr.,  has  been  a  mem- 
ber of  the  University's  board  of  trus- 
tees since  1945. 


DTJKE  ALUMNf  REGISTER,  November*  1951 


[  Page  279  ] 


The  fraternity  quadrangle  was  typical  of  scenes  on  campus  preceding  Home- 
coming week  end.  Students  put  in  feverish  hours  of  planning  and  physical  labor  on 
special  decorations  for  the  occasion.  Delta  Tau  Delta  arranged  a  puppet  show;  Pi 
Kappa  Alpha's  Blue  Devil  hit  the  gong  with  the  mallet  every  time;  and  Phi  Kappa 
Sigma's  Judge  Murray  and  football  jury  sentenced  the  Cavaliers  to  just  punishment. 
Incidentally,  when  all  was  done  and  the  prizes  handed  out,  Phi  Kappa  Sigma  took 
second  place  honors,  and  the  other  two  honorable  mention. 


The  Undergraduate  View 

by  Ronny  Nelson,  '52 


With  students,  townspeople,  faculty, 
administration,  and  even  the  weather  co- 
operating, Duke  alumni  had  their  day. 
Smiling,  hand-shaking,  back-slapping,  they 
descended  upon  the  West  Campus  Union 
lobby,  where  they  registered  and  received 
large,  round  identification  tags,  and  then 
spread  out  over  the  campus  for  a  week- 
end of  revisiting  familiar  haunts,  renew- 
ing old  acquaintances,  and  reminiscing 
over  the  good  old  days. 

The  campus  was  ready  for  them,  had 
anticipated  their  return  for  weeks.  Com- 
mittees held  last  minute  meetings  to 
smooth  out  final  details.  Fraternities  and 
other  groups  frantically  put  finishing 
touches  on  displays.  The  beauty  queen 
and  her  court  were  briefed.  The  march- 
ing band  went  through  their  act  for  the 
last  time  in  practice.  And  the  football 
team  rested.  Everyone  knew  his  cue,  and 
on  Friday  night  the  big  show  began. 

As  darkness  settled  and  spotlights  came 
on,  the  sedate  atmosphere  of  gothic  arch 
'and  native  stone  was  suddenly,  magically 


transformed  into  one  of  gaudy  color  and 
blaring  sound.  Amplified  music  and 
voices,  flashing  lights,  animated  Blue 
Devils  and  Cavaliers,  and  smiling  crowds 
all  gave  to  the  campus  the  appearance 
and  air  of  one  huge  carnival.  Fraternity 
chapter  rooms  were  thrown  open  to  the 
milling  onlookers.  And  in  the  midst  of  it 
all,  the  judges  went  about  their  difficult 
job  of  selecting  a  winning  display  from 
a  field  unanimously  termed   "best  ever." 

On  Saturday  morning  the  carnival  was 
gone.  The  displays  were  still  there,  just 
as  noisy  as  the  night  before.  And  the 
crowds  were  even  bigger.  But  now  it 
was  a  college  campus  on  the  day  of  a  home 
football  game.  The  atmosphere  was 
unique,  something  you  find  nowhere  else. 
It  was  an  atmosphere  the  alumnus  so 
easily  forgets,  so  gladly  becomes  a  part 
of  once  more,  if  only  for  a  short  time. 

The  traditional  Alumni  Barbecue  was 
held  inside  in  the  Old  Gym.  Officials 
of  the  University,  along  with  the  members 
of  the   Student  Homecoming  Committee, 


served  as  hosts,  and  it  was  such  a  success 
that  the  old  grads  refused  to  leave,  but 
stayed  to  talk  after  the  meal  was  finished. 
But  come  game  time,  they  flocked  to  the 
stadium,  for  this  was  the  highspot  of  the 
weekend,  and  they  wouldn't  miss  any  of  it. 

Footballwise,  the  anticipated  highspot 
was  anything  but.  With  almost  brutal 
disregard  for  the  occasion,  the  audience, 
and  the  pre-game  odds,  Virginia's  Cava- 
liers lashed  out  against  a  potentially 
strong  Blue  Devil  team.  Only  once  was 
the  home  club  able  to  turn  that  potential 
into  the  real  thing,  while  the  invaders 
rolled  up  thirty  points  in  a  terrific  second- 
half  onslaught. 

But  if  the  football  wasn't  up  to  expec- 
tation, the  rest  of  the  show  certainly  was. 
Half-time  events  kept  the  alumnus  busier 
than  during  actual  playing  time.  The 
band  did  its  stuff  with  clock -like  precision : 
the  card  trick  section  frantically  flipped 
and  shuffled  its  colored  cards  in  a  series 
of  well-worked-out  welcomes  and  praises; 
the  Homecoming  Queen  graciously  ac- 
cepted her  crown  amid  a  fan-fare  of 
trumpets;  the  display  winners  received 
trophies  for  their  week's  work;  and  all 
in  all,  so  great  was  the  mid-field  activity 
that  the  team  had  almost  to  ask  permis- 
sion before  play  could  resume. 

The  sting  of  defeat  rankled  for  the 
moment,  but  soon  wore  off  as  open  houses, 
parties,  and  reunions  built  up  to  the  cli- 
max of  the  weekend.  The  senior  class 
staged  the  annual  Homecoming  Dance  in 
the  gym,  fraternities  gathered  their  past 
and  present  members  for  the  last  blow- 
out, and  alumni  joined  into  large  and 
small  groups  in  and  around  Durham  to 
put  the  finishing  touches  to  as  fine  a 
Homecoming  as   Duke   has   ever   known. 


For  the  second  straight  year  Hoof  'n' 
Horn  announced  its  intention  of  staging 
a  first-semester  musical  in  addition  to  its 
customary  spring  show,  and  suited  the 
action  to  the  word  by  calling  for  try-outs 
of  all  campus  talent.  The  mid-December 
attraction  will  consist  of  the  single  most 
popular  scene  from  each  of  club's  last  five 
offerings,  and  with  an  attempt  being  made 
to  use  all  of  the  original  talent  that  is 
still  on  campus,  it  ought  to  be  well  worth 
seeing. 


Displaying  that  wholehearted  support 
which  so  often  characterizes  the  college 
student  when  his  interest  is  truly  aroused, 
East  Campus  coeds  threw  themselves 
solidly  behind  a  very  worthy  cause.  Blow- 
ing horns  and  waving  signs,  the  girls

Hannis  Latham,  Jr.,  '32,  presided  at 
the  meeting  for  Duke  alumni  from  Beau- 
fort, Hyde,  Martin  and  Washington  coun- 
ties on  November  6,  which  was  held  at  the 
First  Methodist  Church  in  Washington, 
N.  C. 

Chaplain  to  the  University,  Dr.  J.  H. 
Phillips,  delivered  an  address  which  in- 
cluded some  interesting  facts  about  the

er. He  spoke  about  sports  in  general

ball. Mr.  Cameron  made  it  plain  that

Phillips  Brooks  Club  Holds  Monthly  Meets 


For  20  years,  ministers  of  all  denom- 
inations from  an  area  of  more  than  50 
miles  have  been  meeting  at  Duke  once  a 
month  for  informal  seminars,  designed  to 
establish  a  bond  between  the  University 
and  ministers  of  the  community. 

Out  of  a  small  meeting  of  Durham  min- 
isters at  the  University  in  1931,  for  an 
informal  literary  discussion,  grew  the 
Phillips  Brooks  Club,  conceived  by  Dr. 
Frank  S.  Hickman  of  the  Methodist  in- 
spired Duke  Divinity  School,  and  named 
by  Dr.  W.  R.  Cullon,  Baptist  professor 
of  Bible  at  Wake  Forest  College,  after 
Phillips  Brooks,  an  Episcopalian  who  had 
sponsored  a  similar  meeting  of  ministers 
for  intellectual  stimulation  and  Christian 
fellowship  in  Boston. 

Sponsored  by  the  Duke  Divinity  School 
as  an  informal  seminar,  the  Club  elects 
its  own  officers  from  among  the  denomi- 
nations represented  in  its  membership. 
There  are  no  dues,  but  an  offering  is  taken 
to  defray  incidental  expenses.  All  minis- 
ters are  cordially  invited  to  attend. 

The  Club  meets  at  the  Duke  Divinity 
School  on  the  Monday  morning  following 
the  third  Sunday  of  each  month  from 
October  through  May.  Two  hour  periods, 
10:30  to  11:20  and  11:30  to  12:20,  are 
devoted  to  lectures  and  discussions  on 
various  topics,  theological  and  otherwise. 
The  programs  are  planned  jointly  by  the 
officers  of  the  Club  and  a  committee  of 
the  Divinity  School  faculty. 

Three  sets  of  lectures  have  been  sched- 
uled for  the  year  to  be  presented  by  three 
Duke  faculty  members :  Dr.  Frank  S. 
Hickman,  professor  of  psychology  of  re- 
ligion; Dr.  H.  Shelton  Smith,  professor 
of  American  religious  thought;  and  Dr. 
Robert    E.    Cushman,    professor    of    sys- 


tematic theology.  Psychology  of  religion 
will  be  represented  by  Dr.  Hickman's 
series  entitled  "The  New  Psychology  and 
Religious  Experience."  Theological  crit- 
icism and  construction  are  dealt  with  in 
Dr.  Smith's  series  of  four  lectures  on 
"Focal  Points  in  Ecumenical  Faith"  and 
Dr.  Cushman's  two  lectures  on  "The  Per- 
son of  Christ  in  the  New  Testament." 

The  first  meeting  of  the  Club  this  year 
was  held  in  October.  For  the  rest  of  the 
year,  the  schedule  is  as  follows:

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  November,  1951 


BOOKS 

Charles  Stearns  Wheeler  :  A 
Friend  of  Emerson 

by  John  0.  Eidson,  Ph.D.  '41.  Univer- 
sity of  Georgia  Press. 
John  0.  Eidson,  Ph.D.  '41,  professor  of 
English  at  the  University  of  Georgia  and 
editor  of  the  Georgia  Review,  has  recently 
completed  a  biography  of  a  little-known 
American  who  played  a  significant  role  in 
the  career  of  Ralph  Waldo  Emerson. 

The  biography  is  based  largely  on  the 
manuscript  journal  and  letters  of  Charles 
Wheeler,  a  young  transcendentalist  who 
fell  under  Emerson's  spell  in  the  1830's, 
became  a  devoted  disciple,  and  worked 
closely  with  him  on  important  editorial 
and  scholarly  projects.  Two  appendices 
describe  Wheeler's  published  and  unpub- 
lished writings. 

Dr.  Eidson  has  dedicated  bis  new  book 
to  the  late  Dr.  James  A.  Chiles  of  Wofford 
College,  Spartanburg,  S.  C.  He  holds 
degrees  from  Wofford,  Vanderbilt  and 
Duke.  A  native  of  South  Carolina,  Dr. 
Eidson  has  also  written  a  volume  entitled 
Tennyson  in  America. 

The  Economy  of  Turkey 

Dr.  B.  U.  Ratehford,  chief  editor.  In- 
ternational Bank  for  Reconstruction  and 
Development 

Dr.  B.  U.  Ratehford,  Duke  professor  of 
economics,  is  chief  editor  of  a  book  on 
The  Economy  of  Turkey  published  in 
Washington,  D.  C,  by  the  International 
Bank  for  Reconstruction  and  Develop- 
ment. He  was  given  a  leave  of  absence 
last  fall  to  complete  work  on  it. 

The  book,  which  has  been  translated  into 
Turkish  and  presented  to  the  government 
of  Turkey,  recommends  improvements  in 
Turkey's  development  and  investment  pro- 
grams based  on  a  compilation  of  reports 
on  agriculture,  industry,  transportation, 
public  administration  and  other  fields. 

A  14-man  mission,  including  Dr.  Rateh- 
ford, deputy-chief  and  chief  economist, 
last  year  made  a  co-ordinated  survey  of 
economic  conditions  in  Turkey  under  the 
joint  sponsorship  of  the  World  Bank 
and  the  Turkish  government.  Recommen- 
dations were  made  after  an  analysis  of 
the  country's  historical  background  and 
a  study  of  its  economic  development  dur- 
ing the  last  30  years  were  completed. 

Assistant  editors  are  Professor  William 
H.  Nicholls,  Vanderbilt  University;  Dr. 
Murray  Ross,  senior  economist  of  the  In- 


ternational Bank ;  and  Robert  W.  Kerwin, 
fellow  of  the  Middle  East  Institute. 

Through  Eight  Decades 

by  Marion  Timothy  Plyler,  '92,  D.D.  '37. 

The  Seeman  Printery,  Incorporated. 

Dr.  Marion  Timothy  Plyler,  '92,  mem- 
ber of  the  North  Carolina  Conference  and 
former  editor  of  the  N.  C.  Christian  Ad- 
vocate, has  written  a  book  especially  dedi- 
cated to  his  seven  children  and  nine  grand- 
children. Through  Eight  Decades  As  Min- 
ister, Editor,  Author  is  a  collection  of 
essays  by  Dr.  Plyler  about  various  high- 
lights of  his  life,  and  it  includes  a  number 
of  speeches  and  papers  he  has  written 
during  his  lifetime  that  were  especially 
appropriate  for  inclusion  in  this  book. 

The  seven  chapters  of  the  book  encom- 
pass Struggles  of  Early  Years,  New  Op- 
portunities Develop,  Productive  Period  of 
My  Ministry,  Becomes  Editor  of  the 
Church  Paper,  An  Estimate  of  Will 
Rogers,  Expanding  Horizons,  Busy  for 
More  than  Half  a  Century,  an  appendix 
containing  information  about  genealogical 
lines  of  his  family  and  the  family  of  Mrs. 
Plyler,  and  a  second  appendix  written 
by  Mrs.  Plyler. 

Though  directed  especially  toward  mem- 
bers of  the  Plyler  family,  this  little  book, 
printed  by  the  Seeman  Printery,  Incor- 
porated, Durham,  contains  much  of  in- 
terest to  those  who  would  learn  more  of 
post  Civil  War  North  Carolina,  of  the 
Methodist  Ministry  in  North  Carolina,  of 
the  early  days  of  Trinity  College,  and  of 
Dr.  Plyler  himself. 

The  Rose  Bowl  Game 

by  Rube  Samuelson.  Double  day  <&  Com- 
pany. 

Followers  of  Duke  football  and,  in  par- 
ticular, friends  and  admirers  of  Wallace 
Wade,  will  find  this  book  by  a  West  Coast 
sports  writer  one  of  the  most  highly  read- 
able football  chronicles  of  a  decade  or 
more. 

Mr.  Samuelson,  an  intimate  of  that 
granddaddy  of  all  post-season  gridiron 
classics,  the  Tournament  of  Roses,  has 
produced  a  book  that  purports  to  be  the 
"inside"  story.  And  it  is  pretty  much 
just  that.  He  traces  events  leading  to, 
circumstances  surrounding,  and  the  after- 
math of  every  Rose  Bowl  game  from 
Michigan's  clash  with  Stanford  in  1902  to 
the  California-Michigan  tussle  on  Jan.  1, 
1951.  The  key  plays  of  each  game  are 
competently  and  excitingly  described, 
with  the  influence  of  personalities  involved 
duly  recorded. 
Not  in  the  least  neglected  are  the  trials, 


tribulations,  triumphs,  and  poKtics  of  the 
Bowl  itself,  and  herein  lie  a  number  of 

first-told  tales. 

Duke  readers  will  be  particularly  en- 
ticed by  the  accounts  of  Duke's  two  ap- 
pearances in  the  Rose  Bowl — once  in 
Pasadena  on  Jan.  1,  1939,  and  again  in 
Durham,  in  the  transplanted  version,  in 
January  of  1942.  Wallace  Wade,  gen- 
erally credited  with  bringing  football 
fame  and  fortune  to  the  South,  appears 
almost  as  a  thread  upon  which  the  story 
hangs.  After  his  initial  appearance  as 
a  guard  in  the  Brown  line  in  1916  (Brown 
14 — Washington  State  0),  he  returns  to 
the  story  a  total  of  five  times  as  a  coach — 
three  times  with  Alabama  and  twice  with 
Duke.  Outstanding  is  the  recital  of  the 
meticulous  conduct  of  Wade-coached  teams 
and  their  staffs,  before,  after,  and  during 
games  both  won  and  lost. 

No  alumnus  can  fail  to  enjoy  a  glow  of 
pride  in  his  Alma  Mater  and  its  men 
when  this  book  is  read,  and  it  is  recom- 
mended for  football  enthusiasts  every- 
where. 

Military  Training  in  School 
Suggested  by  Dr.  Bolmeier 

A  recent  issue  of  the  journal  "Educa- 
tional Forum"  contains  a  plea  by  Dr. 
E.  C.  Bolmeier,  Duke  education  depart- 
ment member,  for  the  utilization  of  pub- 
lic schools  as  an  important  link  in  the 
system  of  universal  military  training. 

Dr.  Bolmeier  believes  that  the  simpler 
aspects  of  UMT,  such  as  good  health  hab- 
its, respect  for  law  and  order  and  na- 
tional loyalty,  could  well  be  taught  in 
elementary  schools  with  an  orientation 
toward  preparedness,  and  that  high 
school  R.O.T.C.  programs  could  be  ex- 
tended to  include  many  more  secondary 
schools  than  the  very  few  now  including 
this  activity  in  their  schedules. 

"The  machinery  for  providing  univer- 
sal training  already  exists,"  he  writes. 
"It  is  the  public  school  system.  If 
schools  would  get  into  high  gear  for 
the  task  of  developing  strong  bodies,  civic 
attitudes,  national  loyalty  and  service 
competency,  our  national  security  would 
be  greatly  strengthened." 

Bringing  the  girls  into  the  picture,  the 
educator  asserts  that  they  should  not  be 
excluded  from  high  school  military  train- 
ing. "Although  girls  would  not  be  trained 
with  rifles,  they  should  be  given  training 
in  physical  conditioning.  .  .  .  Girls 
would  also  profit  by  the  development  of 
group  discipline."

Blue  Devils  Approach  Final  Game  With 


Duke's  young,  eager,  and  sometimes 
overly  generous  Blue  Devils  have  arrived 
on  the  eve  of  the  climactic  struggle  with 
Carolina's  Tarheels  with  a  creditable — and 
in  most  quarters  satisfactory — 50-50  rec- 
ord. Four  games  have  been  won,  four 
lost,  and  one  tied. 

The  tie,  coming  against  Georgia  Tech's 
unbeaten  Yellow  Jackets  in  Atlanta, 
represented  the  team's  best  game  to  date. 
Tech  was,  and  is,  ranked  as  the  No.  5 
team  in  the  nation.  Although  "moral" 
victories  sometimes  have  the  sting  of  con- 
solation prizes,  this  one  was  particularly 
sweet.  Against  a  potent  and  traditional 
rival,  the  Blue  Devils  played  nearly  flaw- 
less ball  and  demonstrated  potentialities 
that  will  be  realized  more  fully  within 
the  next  couple  of  years. 

Victories  have  been  won  over  South 
Carolina  (34-6),  Pittsburgh  (19-14),  N.  C. 
State  (27-21),  and  V.P.I.  (55-6). 

Losses  were  to  Tennessee's  powerful 
Volunteers  (0-26),  Virginia's  Homecom- 
ing invaders  (7-30),  Wake  Forest  (13- 
19),  and  William  and  Mary  (13-14). 

A  charitable  inclination  toward  oppo- 
nents contributed  to  each  of  the  defeats, 
with  the  Blue  Devil's  thoughtfully  fum- 
bling or  tossing  misdirected  passes  to  set 
up  opponent's  scores  or  to  thwart  their 
own  opportunities.  Fumbling,  in  particu- 
lar, has  plagued  the  Devils  throughout 
the  season.  Heads-up  rivals  have  been 
pouncing  on  Duke  bobbles  like  Junior 
hitting  a  gaily  wrapped  package  on 
Christmas  morning. 

These  fumbles,  however,  while  regret- 
table, are  understandable  and  forgivable. 
Youth,  inexperience,  and  a  new  and  diffi- 
cult formation  thrown  against  wiser  op- 
ponents will  frequently  prove  discretion 
superior  to  valor.  But  from  the  specta- 
tor's standpoint,  let  it  be  said  that  this 
team  of  young  upstarts  has  provided  a 
minimum  of  dull  moments.  And,  curiously 
enough,  miscues  in  every  losing  game  have 
been  pretty  well  confined  to  but  one  of  the 
two  regulation  halves. 

Against  every  team  but  Tennessee,  the 
Blue  Devils  have  outscored  their  rivals  in 
at  least  one  half  of  the  game.  They  led 
Virginia  7-0  at  halftime,  scored  13  points 
to  Wake  Forest's  none  in  the  second  half, 
and  achieved  the  same  feat  against  Wil- 
liam and  Mary.  In  the  latter  pair  of 
contests  they  also  emerged  with  the  edge 
in  statistical  calculations. 

Sure  enough,  it  takes  two  halves  to 
make  a  whole,  but  this  is  a  year  of  look- 
ing ahead.     The  promises  are  what  count. 


Virginia  30-Duke  7 

Ironically,  Coach  Murray's  charges  gave 
their  most  dismal  performance  of  the  sea- 
son before  a  Homecoming  crowd  of  some 
30,000.  Virginia's  woefully  underrated 
Cavaliers,  slaughtered  in  effigy  all  over  the 
campus  in  Homecoming  decorations,  rose 
up  like  insulted  Goliaths  and  bulldozed 
through  a  baffled  Duke  defense  in  a  wild 
and  woolly  second  half. 

The  Devils  invaded  Virginia  territory 
no  less  than  six  times  in  the  first  half 
before  freshman  Charlie  Niven  climaxed 
a  39-yard  drive  by  scooting  over  from  the 
one.  The  score  came  with  less  than  two 
minutes  remaining  in  the  second  quarter. 

Virginia's  spirit  was  miraculously  re- 
vived just  before  the  end  of  the  third 
quarter,  when  halfback  Charlie  Smith 
scrambled  back  into  his  own  end  zone  to 
recover  a  wild  pitch-out.  Before  he  could 
recross  the  goal  line,  Virginia's  Paul 
Phipps  and  Tom  Berry  downed  him  for  a 
2-point  safety.  Trailing  2  to  7  at  the 
beginning  of  the  fourth  quarter,  the  Cava- 
liers went  touchdown  crazy.  A  60-yard 
drive  ended  with  Ashwell  plunging  over 
from  the  two.  The  conversion  was  good 
and  Virginia  led  9-7. 

On  the  next  kick-off  halfback  Piney 
Fields  was  snowed  under  by  three  burly 
Cavaliers  on  his  own  18.  The  ball  was 
knocked  out  of  his  arms  and  reclaimed 
by  Virginia.  Four  plays  later  Furst 
went  over  from  the  two  to  make  it  Vir- 
ginia 16,  Duke  still  7. 

The  next  Virginia  score  came  when 
Knowles  intercepted  a  Barger  pass  on  the 
50.  Eight  plays  later  Barkly  passed  to 
Scott  for  Virginia's  third  touchdown.  The 
fourth  marker  came  when  Scott  inter- 
cepted a  Duke  pass  by  Sam  Eberdt  and 
scampered  15  yards  to  paydirt.  All  Vir- 
ginia points  were  scored  in  approximately 
10  minutes  of  the  game. 

Duke  14-Georgia  Tech  14 

An  inspired  and  fighting  band  of  Blue 
Devils  invaded  Atlanta's  Grant  Field  for 
their  finest  performance  of  the  year. 
Duke  entered  the  game  a  two-touchdown 
underdog  against  the  5th  ranking  Yellow 
Jackets. 

Standouts  in  the  game  were  freshman 
halfback  Worth  Lutz,  who  played  nearly 
60  minutes  of  ball  and  who  scored  one 
touchdown  and  passed  for  the  other;  full- 
back Jack  Kistler;  guard  Bobby  Burrows 
and  tackle  Ed  Meadows,  who  played  like 
they  belonged  in  Tech's  backfield.  Mead- 
ows, from  Oxford,  N.  C,  has  been  one  of 


the  line  standouts  all  year  and  is  bidding 
to  become  one  of  Duke's  greatest  all-time 
tackles. 

Safetyman  George  Grune  intercepted  a 
Tech  pass  by  Crawford  and  raced  to  the 
Tech  11  before  being  dropped.  The  very 
next  play  Lutz  hurled  the  ball  into  the 
waiting  arms  of  end  Blaine  Earon  for  the 
score.  Ray  Green  converted  and  Duke 
led  7-0  at  halftime. 

Tech  took  the  kick-off  to  start  the  sec- 
ond half  and  held  on  to  the  ball  until 
Crawford  bowled  over  from  the  one  to 
tie  the  score,  with  Rodgers'  conversion. 
A  few  minutes  later  it  looked  like  another 
rout  when  Tech's  Wheat  sifted  through 
the  line  to  block  a  punt  by  left-footed 
Red  Smith,  grab  the  ball,  and  race  for 
another  six-pointer.  A  good  conversion 
made  the  score  Tech  14-Duke  7. 

Kistler  and  Lutz  teamed  up,  however, 
to  drive  and  pass  the  ball  back  into  scor- 
ing territory  for  the  Devils.  Tech  took 
over  when  the  drive  petered  out,  but  alert 
Dudley  Hager  intercepted  a  second  Tech 
pass.  Kistler  ran,  Lutz  passed,  and  hard- 
driving  Red  Smith  hit  the  line  to  the  one. 
From  there  Lutz  took  it  over.  Green 
calmly  converted  to  tie  the  score.  Tech 
was  effectively  repulsed  by  some  fine  line 
play  and  scrappy  safety  man  George 
Grune  for  the  balance  of  the  final  quarter. 

Wake  Forest  19-Duke  13 

This  was  one  the  Devils  wanted  badly. 
A  disastrous  second  quarter,  however, 
gave  Wake  its  fourth  victory  in  as  many 
years.  The  victory  gave  a  Wake  a  clean 
sweep  of  the  Big  Four  league,  since  it 
had  previously  defeated  State  and  Caro- 
lina. 

A  scoreless  first  quarter  saw  both  teams 
sparring  cautiously  for  an  opening,  but 
in  the  second  quarter  Wake  Forest  seared 
Duke  supporters  into  anticipating  a  rout 
worse  than  the  one  witnessed  at  Home- 
coming. 

Wake  began  its  first  scoring  drive  from 
its  own  40  at  the  beginning  of  the  second 
frame,  a  drive  climaxed  about  three  min- 
utes later  when  slingshot  artist  Dicky 
Davis  rifled  the  ball  over  the  goal  line 
from  18  yards  out  to  end  Bob  Ondilla. 
The  conversion  was  good  and  Wake  led 
7-0. 

Two  Duke  fumbles  set  up  two  more 
Wake  scores  in  rapid  succession.  Wake 
recovered  the  first  on  Duke's  30  and  the 
second  on  the  32.  Hard-hitting  fullback 
Bill  Miller,  whom  Dukesters  will  be  happy 
to  see  run  out  his  eligibility,  rammed  over

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  November,  1951 


50-50  Record 


both  times  from  the  one-yard  line  to 
climax  the  two  short  drives. 

But  the  Devils  came  out  for  the  second 
half,  trailing  19-0,  like  a  team  that  had 
just  discovered  it  could  play  ball. 

Duke's  first  score  came  when  the  third 
quarter  was  five  minutes  old.  Covering 
68  yards  in  10  plays,  with  Red  Smith's 
21-yard  dash  to  the  11  the  highpoint  of 
the  drive,  Duke  hit  pay  dirt  when  Lutz's 
pass  to  Red  was  caught  in  the  end  zone. 
The  second  touchdown  came  at  the  end 
of  an  84-yard  drive.  Red  Smith  got  off 
another  21-yard  gallop  from  the  vicinity 
of  the  Duke  20.  Lutz  fumbled  a  pitch- 
out,  scooped  the  ball  up  deep  behind  the 
line,  reversed  his  field,  and  raced  for  23 
yards  behind  a  beautiful  block  by  Tank 
Lawrence.  In  two  more  plays  Smith  and 
Kistler  took  the  ball  to  Wake's  two  and 
Barger  sneaked  over  from  quarterback 
on  fourth  down.  The  conversion  was 
missed  and  Duke  trailed  13-19. 

The  Devils  stormed  back  and  were 
threatening  again  in  the  closing  minutes, 
but  an  intercepted  pass  killed  the  chance 
for  victory.  In  the  second  half  Wake 
Forest  registered  but  one  first  down 
against  a  suddenly  stingy  defense. 

William  and  Mary  14-Duke  13 

Fans  who  journeyed  to  Williamsburg 
to  view  a  game  rated  as  a  toss  up  came 
away  marvelling  at  the  consistency  with 
which  Devils  seemed  to  grant  their  op- 
ponents a  winning  margin  in  the  first  half 
only  to  storm  back  in  the  second  to  miss 
victory  by  a  hair. 

Against  William  and  Mary's  rejuve- 
nated Indians,  who  had  won  five  straight 
against  major  opposition  after  a  slow 
start,  Coach  Murray  uncorked  a  junior 
halfback  named  Lloyd  Caudle.  Caudle 
had  played  only  briefly  in  one  game, 
.against  South  Carolina,  previously,  but 
this  particular  Saturday  he  ran  like  a 
mad  bull  and  all  but  saved  the  day  for 
the  fighting  Devils. 

W&M  scored  after  four  minutes  of  the 
first  quarter  when  the  Indians  quarter- 
back Lewis  threw  a  pass  to  Ed  Weber, 
who  trotted  17  yards  to  score.  The  try 
for  the  extra  point  was  good,  and  it  pro- 
vided the  winning  margin.  A  young  fel- 
low named  "Hadacol"  Hines  did  the 
kicking. 

In  the  second  period  Indian  halfback 
Tommy  Roller  broke  around  end  on  a 
naked  reverse  for  an  80-yard  dash  to  the 
Duke  goal  and  Hines  booted  another 
extra  point. 


Fullback  Byrd  Looper  (11)  finds  a  nice  hole  around  end  as  he  goes  for  yardage 
against  Virginia.  Looking  blocking  assignments  are  end  Bill  Keziah  (86)  and  Charlie 
Niven  (10). 


The  second  half,  again,  was  all  Duke. 
Coach  Murray  found  his  first  string  backs 
sidelined  with  injuries  early  in  the  third 
quarter.  Caudle  was  inserted  into  the 
line  up  and  he  proceeded  to  take  charge. 
With  the  ball  on  Duke's  48,  the  Raleigh, 
N.  C,  youngster  took  the  ball  on  a  double 
reverse  to  the  W&M  39.  Barger,  trying 
to  pass,  had  to  run  instead,  and  he  got 
to  the  29.  A  pass  by  Barger  and  two 
line  plunges  by  Caudle  accounted  for 
Duke's  first  tally.  Green  kicked  the  extra 
point. 

The  second  Duke  drive  started  in  the 
third  quarter  and  extended  into  the 
fourth.  It  was  for  70  yards  with  Caudle 
accounting  for  35  of  them.  The  score 
came  with  Barger  inching  over  from  the 
two.  Ray  Green,  a  highly  dependable 
place-kicker,  slammed  his  helmet  to  the 
ground  in  disgust  when  he  missed  the 
conversion  and  failed  to  tie  the  score. 

Caudle,  however,  wasn't  through.  John 
Carey  intercepted  a  W&M  pass  on  the 
Indians'  40  after  it  had  been  deflected  by 
end  and  captain,  Jim  Gibson.  Caudle 
teamed  with  Barger,  Red  Smith,  and 
Kistler  to  put  the  ball  on  the  eight.  A 
key  play  was  end  Howard  Pitts  catch  of 
a  Barger  pass.  The  Raleigh  substitute, 
however,  who  had  played  flawless  ball  un- 
til that  point,  got  into  the  fumbling  act 
and  lost  the  ball  on  the  four.  Duke  made 
one  more  threat,  but  a  Lutz  pass  inter- 
cepted on  the  five  ended  it,  and  Duke 
bowed,  14-13. 

And  then  Carolina 

This  issue  of  the  Register  must  go  to 
press  before  the  Carolina  game  on  Novem- 
ber 24.  By  the  time  it  reaches  readers, 
however,  the  result  of  this  contest  will  be 
known. 

Duke  is  expected  to  enter  the  game  in 
the  favorite's  role.  The  Tarheels,  facing 
some  mighty  tough  opposition  this  year, 


have  won  but  two  games.  For  Duke  a 
victory  will  mean  tipping  the  season's 
record  toward  more  victories  than  defeats. 
It  will  mean  that  first-year  Coach  Bill 
Murray  has  given  his  fans  a  season  better 
than  just  good. 

So,  as  usual,  the  crucial  contest  comes 
up  with  a  lot  at  stake  for  both  teams. 
It  should  be  a  whizzer  of  a  game,  wasn't 
it? 


Late  flash 


Duke's  fired-up  Blue  Devils  scored  in 
the  first,  third,  and  fourth  quarters  to 
down  North  Carolina's  Tarheels  by  a  score 
of  19  to  7  to  finish  the  season  with  a 
record  of  five  wins,  four  losses,  and  a  tie. 

The  Duke-Carolina  game,  played  before 
50,000  yelling  fans  under  gray  and  threat- 
ening skies,  was  everything  that  this  tra- 
ditional contest  is  annually  expected  to 
be.  It  was  hard-fought  and  featured 
some  savage  line  play,  with  junior  guard, 
Carson  Leach,  winning  acclaim  for  his 
performance  as  the  "fifth  man  in  Caro- 
lina's backfield." 

Duke's  first  score  came  in  the  first 
quarter  after  Red  Smith  ran  39  yards 
around  end  to  the  Carolina  one  and  then 
slammed  over  on  the  next  play.  The 
score  was  6-0  at  halftime.  Carolina,  how- 
ever, took  the  lead  early  in  the  third  pe- 
riod on  a  pass  play,  Gravitte  to  Wallace, 
and  a  good  conversion  by  Williams.  The 
Devils,  however,  roared  back  on  the  kick- 
off  and  a  series  of  runs  put  the  ball  on 
the  one  again,  from  which  spot  Jerry 
Barger  plunged  over.  The  final  score 
came  in  the  final  quarter.  Duke  took  over 
on  downs  on  their  own  32  and  began  a 
drive  that  ended  when  Piney  Field  skirted 
end  from  six  yards  out  to  score  standing 
up.

Claire  Bryant  managed  to  look  quite 
composed  as  she  finally  walked  into  the 
reception  room.  She  had  stood  outside 
for  a  full  minute,  studying  with  great 
satisfaction  the  name  on  the  door:  Burton 
&  Bryant,  Attorneys-at-Law. 

Suddenly  the  door  at  the  left  swung 
open,  and  a  tall  young  man  with  a  big 
grin  filled  the  doorway. 

"Hello,  Mom!" 

Together  they  walked  into  his  office 
with  its  view  of  the  tall  buildings,  the 
river,  and  the  harbor  out  beyond.  She 
looked  and  approved,  then  looked  again 
and  approved  some  more.  She  sat  in  the 
deep  leather  chair  by  the  window  and 
smiled  back  at  her  boy. 

"Jack,"  she  said,  "for  years  people 
have  been  warning  me  not  to  dote  on  you 
too  much.  I  took  their  advice  seriously. 
I  have  tried  hard  not  to  spoil  you.  But 
today  I'm  bound  to  say  I'm  proud  as  a 
peacock  of  you — and  as  satisfied  with 
myself  and  with  life  as  I  can  be!" 

"I'm  happy,  too,  Mom.  It  was  won- 
derful of  Mr.  Burton  to  take  me  in  as  a 
partner  so  soon.  By  the  way — I've  had 
Dad's  big  walnut  desk  moved  up  here. 
It  fits  in  swell!" 

"I  noticed  that,"  said  Claire  Bryant. 
"I  wish  he  could  see  you  now." 

The  young  man  grinned  that  nice,  slow 
grin  of  his.  "Just  before  you  came  in," 
he  said,  "I  found  something  in  the  top 
drawer  of  the  desk."  He  pulled  a  fragile, 
time-yellowed  piece  of  paper  out  of  his 
pocket.  "That's  Dad's  writing,  all  right. 
But  what  the  deuce  does  it  mean?" 

Claire  took  the  piece  of  paper.  Her  face 
softened.  "Yes  .  .  .  it's  his  writing.  He 
was  always  writing  himself  notes  in  a  sort 
of  private  shorthand  he  had.  Can't  you 
figure  out  what  it  means?" 


The  young  man  read  the  note  again: 
"6-7-23 — see  RW  re  more  ins." 

"Who  is  R.  W.?"  he  asked. 

"That  gives  it  away,"  she  smiled. 
"R.  W.  is  Robert  Wilson  .  .  ." 

"You  mean  the  agent  who  took  care 
of  Dad's  insurance?" 

"That's  right — he  was  with  the  New 
York  Life.  Notice  the  date  . .  ." 

"Six-seven -twenty- three — June 
seventh,  1923 — why,  that's  the  day  I 
was  born!" 

His  mother  smiled.  "Your  father  had 
a  thousand  plans  for  you.  And  being  a 
lawyer,  he  never  liked  to  put  things  off." 
She  looked  at  the  note  again.  "You  see, 
your  father  got  hold  of  Robert  Wilson, - 
whose  advice  he  respected,  and  took  out 
more  insurance  That's  why,  when  your 
father  died,  everything — including  your 
law  education— was. provided  for." 

The  grin  again  relieved  the  serious  ex- 
pression on  the  young  man's  face,  "I 
suppose  you  don't  frame  a  thing  like 


this,"  he  mused,  looking  at  the  piece  of 
paper.  He  dropped  it  into  the  top  drawer 
of  the  old  walnut  desk.  "But  I  guess  I'll 
keep  it  here  handy — to  remind  me  how 
I  got  off  to  a  wonderful  start  .  .  .  yes, 
before  I  even  knew  it!"

interment  was  in  Cherry  Hill  Cemetery. 

For  25  years,  Mr.  Forbes  was  cashier 
of  the  National  Bank  of  Greenville.  He 
then  became  liquidating  agent  in  several 
North  Carolina  towns.  In  1936  he  moved 
to  Raleigh  where  he  liquidated  the  Raleigh 
Banking  and  Trust  Company  of  that  city. 
While  there  he  was  one  of  the  organizers 
of  the  First  Federal  Savings  and  Loan 
Association.  He  returned  to  Greenville 
in  1941,  and  since  that  time  was  engaged 
in  the  real  estate  business. 

Surviving  are  the  wife,  one  daughter, 
Mrs.  Robert  Black,  New  London,  Conn. ; 
two  sons,  Fred,  Jr.,  and  John  M.  of 
Greenville;  four  sisters,  two  grandsons, 
and  several  nieces  and  nephews. 

FRED  HERBERT  PRICE,  '20 

The  Reverend  Fred  Herbert  Price,  '20, 
pastor  of  First  Street  Methodist  Church, 
Albemarle,  N.  C,  died  at  his  home  Oc- 
tober 8.  Funeral  services  were  held  at 
the  First  Street  Methodist  Church,  and 
burial  was  in  Monroe  Cemetery  at  Mon- 
roe, N.  C.  Mr.  Price,  who  was  just  be- 
ginning his  second  year  as  pastor  of  the 
church,  had  apparently  been  in  good 
health  and  was  at  work  in  his  yard  when 
he  was  stricken. 

A  native  of  Union  County,  N.  C,  Mr. 
Price  was  admitted  to  the  Western  North 
Carolina  Conference  of  the  Methodist 
Church  in  1917,  and  had  completed  34 
years  of  active  service  in  the  ministry. 
He  had  served  several  North  Carolina 
pastorates,  including  the  Lenoir  Circuit, 
Lowell,     Henrietta,     Shelby,     Statesville, 


Granite  Falls,  Statesville  Circuit,  and 
Albemarle  First  Street.  He  had  been 
pastor  of  the  Albemarle  church  exactly 
one  year. 

Survivors  include  the  wife,  the  former 
Amy  Amandy  Helms;  two  children,  Fred 
H.  Price,  Jr.,  Riderwood,  Md.,  and  Mrs. 
Robert  Hickman,  Granite  Falls.  Five 
sisters  and  two  brothers  also  survive. 

THOMAS  A.  PRIEST,  '28 

Thomas  A.  Priest,  '28,  of  516  North 
Maple  Street,  Durham,  died  September  1 
in  a  Durham  hospital  following  several 
months  declining  health.  He  had  been  crit- 
ically ill  and  a  patient  at  the  hospital  for 
several  months.  Funeral  services  were  held 
at  the  Hall-Wynne  Funeral  Chapel  and 
interment  was  in  the  new  section  of 
Maplewood  Cemetery. 

During  World  War  II,  he  served  with 
the  U.  S.  Army  Air  Corps.  The  greater 
part  of  his  four-year  term  of  service  was 
spent  as  an  instructor  with  the  rank  of 
sergeant.  He  later  worked  with  the  Dur- 
ham Post  Office. 

He  was  married  in  April,  1943,  to  the 
former  Miss  Thelma  Poe  of  Durham,  who 
sui-vives  in  addition  to  his  mother,  Mrs. 
Mettie  Anne  Priest  of  Cumberland  Coun- 
ty, and  two  brothers,  Lawrence  Priest  of 
Hope  Mills,  N.  C,  and  J.  G.  Priest  of

of  commerce  nor  personnel  between  India 
and  Pakistan  that  one  might  wish  for, 
and  as  Pakistan  requires  full  time  atten- 
tion, it  is  seldom  that  I  have  the  oppor- 
tunity to  keep  up  contacts  south  of  here. 
Nevertheless,  should  I  ever  visit  the  East 
Godavari  District  in  Madras,  a  most  in- 
teresting District  from  the  standpoint  of 
power  development  and  ancient  culture, 
I  shall  certainly  try  to  locate  Mantrala 
L.  N.  Sastri. 

Thanks  for  the  personal  news  of  Duke 
and  of  the  various  efforts.  I  wish  that 
I  could  reciprocate  with  a  little  chit-chat 
from  here,  but  I  am  afraid  anything  I 
say  today  would  be  wrong  tomorrow,  and, 
besides,  our  most  interesting  news  is  re- 
ported more  faithfully  than  I  could  re- 
port, by  newspaper  and  current  affairs 
analysts. 

I  did  have  a  chance  to  meet  Dr.  Frank 
Graham  while  he  was  in  Karachi,  and  for 
the  first  time  had  a  feeling  that  North 
Carolina  was  adequately  represented  in 
Pakistan.  On  Dr.  Graham's  staff  was 
Bill  Aycock  from  Greensboro,  who  taught 
me  when  I  was  in  high  school.  We  had 
a  most  enjoyable  and  interesting  dinner 
together  the  night  before  he  left,  but 
unfortunately  even  on  a  friendship  basis 
he  would  not  give  out  any  of  the  top  se- 
crets concerning  our  most  urgent  and  in- 
teresting problem,  Kashmir. 

Best  regards  to  you  and  all  the  good 
people  at  Durham.  Hope  to  see  you  on 
my  next  leave  a  year  or  two  from  now !

rade around  East  Campus  circle  to  offi- 
cially open  the  annual  Campus  Chest 
drive,  which  this  year  calls  for  a  dona- 
tion total  of  $3,500.  The  opening  was 
climaxed  by  Dr.  Frank  DeVyver's  address 
on  "The  Importance  of  Giving''  in  the 
Auditorium. 


Following  up  their  successful  sponsor- 
ship of  the  "Town  Meeting  of  the  Air," 
the  Men's  Student  Government  will  bring 
Senator  Robert  Taft,  candidate  for  the 
Republican  presidential  nomination,  to 
Page  Auditorium  late  in  November.  The 
stop  at  Duke  will  be  part  of  the  Sena- 
tor's Southern  campaign  tour.  His  ad- 
dress, plus  a  fifteen-minute  question  and 
answer  session,  should  give  students,  many 
of  whom  will  be  voting  for  the  first  time 
in  the  coming  election,  a  pretty  good  idea 
of  just  where  Mr.  Taft  stands,  and  what 
issues  the   campaign  will   center   around. 


With  polls  of  student  opinion,  library 
displays,  and  a  mock  court,  the  United 
Nations  came  to  Duke.  In  celebration  of 
UN  Day,  the  flag  of  the  international 
peace  organization  flew  over  the  campus, 
and  the  Security  Council  met  to  discuss 
an  attack  on  Formosa.  With  students 
taking  the  parts  of  the  various  member 
nations,  one  of  which  was  represented  by 
a  Spanish-speaking  foreign  student,  the 
session  had  an  air  of  authenticity  which 
was  furthered  by  the  late  arrival  of  the 
Russian  delegate.  Recognized  by  the  pre- 
siding Polish  delegate,  the  representative 
for  the  U.  S.  demanded  immediate  armed 
intervention  in  Formosa.  Although  they 
failed  to  have  the  resolution  passed  due 
to  a  Russian  veto,  the  delegates  in  favor 
succeeded  in  placing  it  on  the  agenda  of 
the  General  Assembly.

The  Cover  — — ■ 

In  keeping  with  the  season,  the  cover  of  this  month's 
Register  has  a  religious  theme.  Pictured  is  the  large 
chancel  window  of  Duke  Chapel  which  is  situated  behind 
the  pulpit.  The  top  and  middle  rows  of  figures  picture 
ten  of  the  twelve  apostles.  On  the  bottom  row  are  five 
Old  Testament  prophets.  This  window  is  considered  one 
of  the  most  beautiful  examples  of  stained  glass  art  in  the 
United  States. 


Une  ^blxectoti 


I  wish  it  were  possible  to  say  '"Merry  Christmas  and 
Happy  New  Year"  to  each  of  you.  Because  of  your 
willingness  to  share  in  the  alumni  work,  you  have  made 
this  one  of  the  happiest  Christmases  the  staff,  of  the 
Alumni  Office,  and,  for  that  matter,  the  entire  University 
community  has  ever  had.  Because  of  your  interest  and 
enthusiasm,  the  University  will  be  in  a  position  to  make  a 
greater  contribution  in  the  field  of  education  during  the 
coming  new  year. 


Many  of  the  local  associations  have  been  unable  to  hold 
their  meetings  during  the  fall.  Several  have  waited  so 
that  they  could  have  them  at  a  time  that  would  be  better 
suited  to  local  conditions.  Others  have  shifted  their  dates 
to  suit  the  convenience  of  the  speaker.  Despite  the  con- 
stantly changing  plans,  this  year's  series  of  meetings  is 
one  that  alumni  can  view  with  pardonable  pride. 


Founders  Day,  December  11,  had  as  its  speaker  Gordon 
Dean,  an  alumnus  of  Duke  University.  This  occasion  gave 
the  students  an  opportunity  to  express  their  appreciation 
for  what  the  University  has  contributed  to  them  and  to 
make  known  in  a  public  way  their  interest  in  assuring  the 
University 's  future.  This  year  the  traditional  tree  planting 
exercises  in  connection  with  the  program  were  held  in 
Page  Auditorium.  Various  comments  indicated  that 
everyone  could  hear  what  was  going  on  for  the  first  time. 


I  suggest  you  read  the  letter  to  President  Edens  from 
Hinohara.  It  reminds  us  that  Duke  University  has  been 
made  possible  because  of  the  men  who  have  given  then- 
lives  in  its  service.  Running  through  the  entire  pattern 
of  the  institution  are  the  threads  of  the  lives  of  the  men 
and  women  woven  together  to  give  strength  and  purpose 
to  the  institution.  It  also  reminds  us  that  each  former 
student  can  have  a  share  in  Duke's  future.  We  can  make 
the  institution  more  effective  by  seeing  that  it  has  the 
necessary  ingredients  for  greatness,  or  we  can  minimize  it 
in  our  thinking  and  leave  its  future  to  someone  else. 


The  basketball  team  has  already  played  in  Winston- 
Salem  and  Shelby,  and  is  going  to  play  in  other  towns. 
This  gives  the  alumni  an  excellent  opportunity  to  see  this 
year's  team  in  action.  If  you  would  like  a  schedule  or 
information,  drop  us  a  line. 


The  Angier  Duke  Scholarship  Committee  received  a 
greater  number  of  applications  this  year  than  in  any  other 
year  since  it  was  established.

Apt.  6-G 

Forest  Hills,  New  York,  N.  Y. 

November  28,  1951 
Dear  fellow  alums, 

Since  I've  just  moved,  thought  I'd  bet- 
ter drop  you  a  line  with  my  new  address 
and  a  word  or  two  about  what  I've  been 
doing  since  leaving  my  Alma  Mater  a  year 
and  sis  months  ago. 

After  leaving  Duke  the  thought  of 
"going  back  home"  didn't  seem  in  the 
least  bit  exciting,  so  three  weeks  after 
graduation  (in  '50)  found  me  making  a 
grand  tour  of  the  employment  agencies 
in  New  York  City  in  the  hopes  of  getting 
a  job  that  was  "different."  And,  being 
that  I'm  a  lucky  person  to  begin  with, 
I  walked  right  into  a  job  so  different  that 
I'm  always  stuck  for  an  answer  when 
people  ask  me  what  I  do.  In  the  first 
place  I  work  with  Displaced  Persons  for 
an  organization  called  Church  World 
Service,  which  handles  all  Protestant 
D.  P.'s — with  the  exception  of  the  Lu- 
therans— entering  the  country.  My  job 
title  is  "notification  worker,"  a  very  elu- 
sive and  nebulous  term  even  to  me.  I, 
along  with  about  15  other  notification  and 
"pier"  workers,  go  down  to  the  piers 
whenever  the  D.  P.  ships  arrive  (U.  S. 
Army  transports),  help  the  D.  P.'s 
through  customs,  then  send  them  on 
their  way  to  wherever  they're  going  in 
the  country.  Some  stay  here  in  N.  Y., 
but  many  go  out  to  farms  in  the  Midwest, 
some  to  factory  jobs  in  other  big  cities, 
or  positions  as  domestics  most  anywhere. 
Some  go  as  far  as  California  or  Wash- 


ington. (To  enter  the  country  at  all,  all 
persons  must  have  a  "sponsor"  who  will 
guarantee  them  a  job  and  housing.)  By 
now  I  think  I  could  find  my  way  around 
Grand  Central  or  Penn  Stations  blind- 
folded, for  I  am  also  a  "station  worker" 
which  means  taking  the  D.P.'s  from  the 
pier  to  the  stations  for  entraining.  You 
might  be  wondering  at  this  point  how  I 
manage  to  communicate  with  them,  and 
this  I  do  by  means  of  a  very  crude  sort 
of  German  which  I've  picked  up.  When 
this  fails,  as  in  meeting  a  solely  Russian- 
speaking  Russian  (most  Europeans  speak 
and  understand  some  German)  then  one 
starts  using  one's  hands  instead  of  one's 
vocal  cords.  Back  in  the  office  we  spend 
our  time  notifying  sponsors  of  the  arriv-

lem cases  which  involve  sponsorship — or 
lack  of  it.  I  venture  to  say  that  I've  got 
the  most  unpredictable  job  ever  heard  of. 
In  fact  the  word  "routine"  is  most  for- 
eign to  our  ears.  I  never  know  from  one 
minute  to  the  next,  let  alone  one  day  to 
the  next,  what  I'm  going  to  be  doing  next. 
I  spend  as  much  time  out  of  the  office 
as  I  do  in,  and  I'm  just  as  apt  to  be 
working  from  12  to  8  as  I  am  9  to  5. 
The  farthest  I  ever  got  from  the  ordinary 
man's  routine  day  was  during  the  recent 
dock  strike  when  I  wasn't  called  into 
work  until  10  in  the  evening  and  worked 
until  4  the  next  morning.  The  best  part 
of  all,  though,  is  the  unusually  wonderful 
bunch  of  people  I  work  with.  We're  all 
young  college  grads  from  all  parts  of  the 
country  who  were  chosen  primarily  on 
the  basis  of  our  individual  personalities . 
and  group  compatibility,  since  we  work

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER.  December,  1951 


Glenn  G.  Geiger  and  family,  New  York 


I  found  unparalleled  opportunities 


Vvhile  I  was  still  an  undergraduate  at  the 
University  of  North  Dakota,  I  made  up  my  mind  that 
I  wanted  to  live  and  work  in  the  New  York  area.  But  I 
was  interested  onlv  in  a  position  that  would  provide  an 
adequate  living,  and  of  equal  importance,  one  in  which 
I  would  have  personal  contact  with  people  and  be  of 
help  to  them  with  their  problems. 

So  I  began  an  intensive  studv  of  career  possibilities. 
I  found  that  the  one  field  that  offered  exactly  what  I  was 
looking  for  was  life  insurance.  And  after  comparing 
various  companies,  I  chose  New  England  Mutual  — the 
first  mutual  life  insurance  companv  chartered  in  America. 

I've  received  wonderful  training  in  New  England 
Mutual.  And  I've  found  unparalleled  opportunities  to 
serve  my  fellow  man  and  to  give  my  family  security. 

I'm  living  and  working  in  the  city  of  my  choice.  I'm 
guiding  the  financial  affairs  of  a  wide  variety  of  people, 
and  I'm  establishing  many  valued  friendships. 

No  wonder  I  feel  so  strongly  that  life  insurance  offers 
immediate  and  satisfactory  rewards  for  college  graduates 
who  work  hard,  have  high  ideals  and  a  genuine  interest 
in  the  welfare  of  other  people!

If  you  would  like  more  information  about  a  career  in 
which  your  individual  ability  and  industry— and  nothing 
else— determine  your  income,  write  Mr.  H.  C.  Chaney, 
Director  of  Agencies,  501  Boylston  St.,  Boston  17,  Mass. 


One  reason  New  England  Mutual  agents  do  so  well  is  that 
they  have  a  truly  fine  product  to  sell.  The  New  England  Mutual 
life  insurance  policy  is  a  liberal  and  flexible  contract  that  can 
give  you  iust  the  kind  of  financial  help  you  require. 

And  vou  will  be  pleasantly  surprised  to  find  that  the  rates 
for  manv  New  England  Mutual  policies  are  lower  today  than 
thev  were  20  years  ago! 

If  vou  are  interested  in  having  your  life  insurance  program 
custom-tailored  to  fit  your  personal  or  business  needs,  get  in 
touch  with  one  of  vour  own  alumni  listed  below,  or  one  of 
the  other  700  college-trained  men  who  represent  New  England 
Mutual  from  Maine  to  Hawaii. 

These  Duke  University  men  are  New  England  Mutual 
representatives:

New  England  Mutual  would  like  to  add  several  qualified 
Duke  University  men  to  its  sales  organization  which  is  lo- 
cated in  the  principal  cities  from  coast  to  coast.  If  you  are

PAPERS  AND  ADDRESSES 

OF 


William  Preston  Few 

with  a  Biographical  Appreciation  by 

ROBERT  H.  WOODY 

$5.00 

I  have  read  Mr.  Woodv's  "Biographical  Appreciation"  and  his  selection  of  Dr.  Few's  papers  and 
addresses  with  keen  interest.  Dr.  Few  was  not  an  easy  man  to  know  and  it  took  years  of  association  to 
understand  and  appreciate  all  of  his  rare  qualities.  By  his  skilful  use  of  quotations  and  through  his 
sympathetic  interpretation  Mr.  Woody  has  succeeded,  it  seems  to  me.  in  drawing  a  true  picture  of  this 
quiet  scholar  and  able  administrator  whose  whole  heart  and  unbending  purpose  were  devoted  to  the  educa- 
tional ideals  in  which  he  so  profoundly  believed  and  whose  life  is  forever  inwrought  into  the  life  of  Duke 
University.  —Alice  M.  Baldwin 

Dr.  Few's  wise  observations  and  comments  on  educational  issues  during  his  long  service  in  Trinity 
College  and  Duke  University  are  as  valid  in  mid-twentieth  century  as  when  originally  made,  for  some  of 
those  issues  have  had  a  way  of  persisting.  Professor  Woodv's  excellent  introduction  makes  the  man  live 
as  he  was  so  well  and  so  favorably  known  by  many  generations  of  Trinity  and  Duke  men  and  women.

Campaign  Total  Tops  $8,250,000  on  December  11 

Founders  Day  Report  Shows  Program  Near  Its  Goal 


Twenty  clays  were  left  before  the  dead- 
line of  December  31,  when  Benjamin  F. 
Few,  '15,  A.M.  '16,  reported  to  the  Na- 
tional Council  on  Founders  Day  that 
$8,251,243.15  has  been  raised  for  the 
University  through  the  Development 
Campaign. 

Mr.  Few,  who  is  the  Development  Cam- 
paign's national  chairman,  also  reported 
that  7,832  alumni  and  friends  were  listed 
as  contributors  up  to  December  11. 

"And  just  today,"  he  added,  "nearly 
100  new  contributions  have  been  received 
totaling  several  thousand  dollars.  This  is 
iu  addition  to  the  figures  just  announced." 

Meanwhile,  it  should  be  added,  new 
contributions  are  continuing  to  arrive  at 
Campaign  Headquarters  at  an  undimin- 
ished rate. 

This  adequately  illustrates  the  fact  that 
campaign  workers  are  pushing  hard, 
right  up  to  the  last  minute,  to  reach  the 
goal  of  $8,650,000;  and  it  also  demon- 
strates the  sustained  enthusiasm  on  the 
part  of  all  alumni  that  has  characterized 
the  Development  Campaign  right  from 
its  beginning. 

Mr.  Few's  report  was  submitted  to  the 
National  Council  at  its  annual  Founders 
Day  meeting,  which  took  place  in  tlie 
Union  Ballroom  following  a  luncheon 
with  members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 

Presiding  at  the  meeting  was  N.  E. 
Edgerton,  '21,  of  Raleigh,  N.  C,  in  the 
absence  of  Alonzo  C.  Edwards,  '25,  the 
National  Council  chairman. 

A  high  spot  of  the  meeting  was  the  in- 
duction of  two  honorary  members,  David 
Ovens  of  Charlotte,  N.  C,  and  George 
Watts  Hill  of  Durham.  Their  citation 
read,  in  part:  "Because  of  their  extraor- 
dinary interest  in  the  objectives  and  pur- 
poses of  Duke  University,  and  by  their 
faithful  and  distinguished  service,  (they) 
have  demonstrated  their  continuing  and 
recognized  loyalty  to  the  University." 

Citations  were  read  and  certificates 
presented  by  P.  Huber  Hanes,  Jr.,  '38, 
of  Winston-Salem,  N.  C. 

Praise  for  Workers 

"This  is  a  superb  report,"  Mr.  Few 
commented,  after  announcing  campaign 
totals,  "and  it  has  been  made  possible 
through  the  untiring  efforts  of  many  peo- 
ple without  regard  for  personal  con- 
venience." 

He  paid  high  tribute  to  the  many 
alumni,   alumnae,   and   friends   who   have 


Looking  over  the  Founders  Day  report,  and  pleased  with  what  they  see,  are  (left 
to  right)  N.  E.  Edgerton,  '21,  Raleigh,  N.  C;  Ben  F.  Few,  '15,  Development  Cam- 
paign National  Chairman,  New  York  City;  President  Edens;  and  B.  Everett  Jordan, 
'18,  Saxapahaw,  N.  C,  general  canvass  chairman  for  North  Carolina. 


devoted  time  and  energy  to  the  success 
of  the  program.  Specially  mentioned 
were  B.  Everett  Jordan,  '18,  of  Saxapa- 
haw, N.  C,  chairman  of  the  general  can- 
vass for  North  Carolina;  J.  Raymond 
Smith  of  Mount  Airy,  N.  C,  chairman 
of  Initial  Gifts  for  North  Carolina;  and 
George  Watts  Hill,  who  headed  the  cam- 
paign among  non-alumni  friends  in  the 
City  of  Durham,  a  campaign  that  sur- 
passed its  goal  of  $250,000. 

"The  important  thing,"  Mr.  Few  de- 
clared, "is  not  the  giving,  but  the  devel- 
opment of  the  habit  of  giving  to  Duke 
University.  There  is  no  question  in  my 
mind  but  that  if  the  habit  of  giving  is 
continued,  Duke  will  remain  in  its  high 
place  among  leading  national  institutions." 

Speaking  informally  to  the  National 
Council,  President  Edens  termed  the  cam- 
paign's successes  "truly  remarkable,"  and 
he  added  to  Mr.  Few's  praise  of  cam- 
paign workers  and  class  agents,  without 
whom,  he  said,  the  campaign  would  have 
been  impossible. 

"I  sincerely  hope,"  President  Edens 
stated,  "and  I  believe  it  will  be  true,  that 


when  we  come  to  December  31,  we  shall 
be  able  to  announce  that  we  have  ex- 
ceeded our  goal,  and  that  all  of  us  will 
be  pleased  with  the  results. 

"I  do  not  know  of  any  other  institu- 
tion that  has  more  tangible  evidence  of 
the  willingness  of  its  former  students  to 
serve  it." 

The  Last  Appeal 

Meanwhile,  preparations  are  underway 
for  a  final  appeal  for  gifts  before  the 
December  31  deadline.  Now  in  the  mails 
for  all  alumni  is  a  progress  report  and 
a  special  letter  from  Chairman  Few  call- 
ing for  last  minute  support  to  put  the 
campaign,,  over  its  goal  before  the  New 
Year. 

Responses  are  still  arriving  to  the  most 
recent  appeal  by  class  agents,  and  a 
similar  response  to  this  final  mailing 
should  bring  the  campaign  to  a  highly 
successful  conclusion.  j.

Duke  Law  School  teaching  staff.  Ex- 
cerpts from  Mr.  Dean's  excellent  address 
appear  in  this  issue  of  the  Register. 

The  exercises  opened  with  a  carillon 
recital  by  Mrs.  Mildred  L.  Hendrix,  which 
began  at  10 :10  a.m.  when  classes  were 
dismissed  to  allow  students  to  gather  in 
Page.  Music  for  the  Page  program  was 
provided  by  the  University  Brass  En- 
semble under  the  direction  of  Paul  Bryan, 
and  the  Men's  Glee  Club,  under  the  direc- 
tion of  J.  Foster  Barnes. 

Presiding  was  President  Edens,  and  the 
speaker  was  introduced  by  Dr.  Paul  M. 
Gross,  vice-president  of  the  University 
and  president  of  the  Oak  Ridge  Institute 
of  Nuclear  Studies. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  program, 
Glenn  Marlin,  president  of  the  College  of 
Engineering  senior  class,  accompanied  by 
the  senior  class  president  of  the  Woman's 
College,  Alice  Youmans,  and  the  senior 
class  vice-president  of  Trinity  College, 
Carl  James,  presented  a  tree  to  Presi- 
dent Edens  in  observance  of  the  annual 
tree  planting  ceremony  that  has  been  a 
tradition  for  more  than  20  vears. 


Dean  Calls  for  Calm  Approach  to  Atomic  Age 


Gordon  Dean,  LL.M.  '32,  Chairman  of 
the  Atomic  Energy  Commission,  ivas  the 
1951  Founders  Day  speaker.  The  posi- 
tion that  he  holds  makes  Mr.  Dean  one 
of  the  nation's  most  important  men,  and 
he  spoke  concerning  one  of  the  world's 
most  important  topics.  Below  are  ex- 
cerpts from  his  address  which  should  be 
of  interest  to  all  thinking  men  and  women 
of  this  generation. 

When  I  last  visited  the  campus,  back 
in  March,  1950,  I  discussed  the  impor- 
tance of  keeping  balance  in  our  atomic 
energy  program.  With  your  indulgence 
I  would  like  to  repeat  one  paragraph 
from  those  remarks. 

"This  is  an  age  of  atomic  bombs  and 
international  tensions.  In  such  an  age  it 
has  become  fashionable  to  be  extreme.  It 
is  a  fashion  which  springs  basically  from 
the  uncertainties  and  anxieties  in  the  minds 
of  people,  and  from  the  urge,  in  times 
when  certitude  is  gone,  to  grasp  at  easy 
solutions  to  complex  and  troublesome 
problems.  In  such  an  age  people  tend 
to  become  rash  in  statement  and  extreme 
in  position.  ...  If  there  ever  was  a  time 
in  our  history  when  we  badly  needed 
balance,  it  is  today.  .  .  ." 

Too  many  people  seem  to  be  living  in 
an  unreal  world  marked  by  deep  gloom, 
frenetic    but    undirected    activity,    or    a 


fatalistic  resignation  to  the  coming  of  an 
atomic  holocaust.  Many  of  these  people 
are  going  through  the  motions  of  living, 
but  they  are  not  really  living,  and  they 
are  not  making  the  responsible  contribu- 
tion to  society  that  society  has  every  right 
to  expect  from  them  in  time  of  crisis.  .  .  . 

The  present  crisis,  while  admittedly  an 
uncomfortable  one,  is  no  worse — and  in 
many  ways  is  not  so  bad — as  .  .  .  other 
crises  ...  at  the  time  they  occurred.  But 
the  lesson  of  history  is  that  this  crisis, 
like  the  others,  will  not  be  solved  by 
allowing  ourselves  to  become  panicky  or 
to  slip  into  the  lazy  and  irresponsible 
escape  of  fatalism.  The  answer  lies 
rather  in  our  ability  to  analyse  the  prob- 
lem, to  work  out  our  answer  to  it,  and  to 
buckle  down  to  the  job  of  putting  its  solu- 
tion into  effect  in  a  cool  and  businesslike 
manner. 

In  my  opinion,  one  of  the  most  valuable 
services  to  be  performed  by  the  great  uni- 
versities of  this  country,  of  which  Duke 
is  an  outstanding  example,  is  to  assist  in 
supplying  the  balance  and  perspective  so 
badly  needed  in  these  times.  Our  uni- 
versities are  eminently  qualified  to  per- 
form this  vital  service,  partly  because 
they  are  the  repositories  of  the  accumu- 
lated wisdom  of  the  ages,  and  partly  be- 
cause   they    are    populated    by    rational, 


Gordon  Dean 


intelligent  people  accustomed  to  approach- 
ing problems  analytically  and  unemo- 
tionally. .  .  . 

The  way  to  solve  the  problem  of  atomic 

energy  is  to   stop   turning  away  from  it 

and  to  put  it  out  on  the  table  where  it 

can  be  examined.    If  we  do  this,  we  can

Solomon's  Temple 

A  Noted  Replica  Results  from  Research  of  Alumnus 


"Then  Solomon  began  to  build  the 
house  of  the  Lord  at  Jerusalem  in  Mount 
Moriah,  where  the  Lord  appeared  unto 
David  his  father,  in  the  place  that  David 
had  prepared  in  the  threshingfloor  of 
Oman  the  Jebusite."  (II  Chronicles 
3:1) 

Solmon's  Temple,  the  most  famous 
building-  in  the  Bible,  was  so  spectacular 
that  one  royal  visitor  traveled  by  caravan 
more  than  1,500  miles  to  see  it  and  other 
marvels  of  Solomon's  court,  so  magnifi- 
cent that  when  the  Queen  of  Sheba  saw 
it  there  was  no  spirit  left  in  her.  Erected 
on  Mount  Moriah  in  Jerusalem,  where 
Abraham  had  prepared  to  sacrifice  Isaac, 
and  fashioned  of  marble,  cedar,  gold  and 
bronze,  it  never  ceased  to  amaze  peoples 
of  the  world. 

Built  for  King  Solomon  by  Hiram  of 
Tyre  about  950  B.C.,  the  Temple  stood 
for  nearly  four  hundred  years  as  the 
"cathedral"  of  the  Hebrews  until  Nebu- 
zaradan,  captain  of  the  guard,  in  the 
19th  year  of  Nebuchadrezzar,  King  of 
Babylon,  burned  it  and  carried  away  all 
the  brass  and  gold.  To  Biblical  scholars, 
the  Temple  of  Solomon  is  of  great  im- 
portance, since  it  marked  a  major  change 
in  public  worship  for  Judaism. 

Many  reconstructions  of  the  Temple 
have  appeared  at  intervals  since  1720, 
but  they  have  resembled  everything  from 
a  foundry  to  Victorian  gingerbread. 
None  has  had  extensive  written  or  ar- 
chaeological bases,  but  were  mostly 
imaginative  creations. 

Exacting  Research 

Dr.  Paul  Leslie  Garber,  a  Gurney 
Harris  Kearns  Fellow  in  Religion  at 
Duke  from  1937  to  1939,  now  head  of 
the  Bible  department  at  Agnes  Scott  Col- 
lege, became  interested  some  years  ago 
in  this  much-misunderstood  and  misrepre- 
sented example  of  architecture.  Dr.  Gar- 
ber spent  four  years  doing  research  to 
find  out  all  he  could  from  every  possible 
source  exactly  what  the  Temple  must 
have  looked  like.  Hope  of  a  model  was 
almost  discarded  because  the  cost  of  such 
an  exacting  piece  of  work  was  prohibitive, 
until  E.  G.  Howland  of  Troy,  N.  Y.,  a 
professional  model  maker,  offered  to  con- 
tribute his  labor  (  and  materials  to  pro- 
mote the  cause  of  Bible  teaching.  The 
completed  model,  executed  in  meticulous 
detail  and  built  as  exactly  to  scale  as 
possible,  is  now  insured  for  $10,000. 


A  great  deal  of  praise  has  been  given 
Dr.  Garber  for  his  scholarly  undertak- 
ing. Three-fourths  of  an  issue  of  The 
Biblical  Archaeologist  was  devoted  to  the 
model,  which  was  unveiled  about  a  year 
ago  in  Buttrick  Hall  at  Agnes  Scott, 
where  it  is  still  on  display.  The  recon- 
struction is  thought  by  many  to  be  the 
most  accurate  approach  to  the  original 
ever  made. 

"(This)  model  of  Solomon's  Temple  will 
enable  students  and  laymen  to  visualize 
some  pages  of  Biblical  history  better  than 
the  written  or  spoken  word  could  do," 
says  Professor  Robert  H.  Pfeiffer  of 
Harvard. 

A  filmstrip  of  the  model  reconstruction 
was  released  in  March  by  Southeastern 
Films,  Atlanta,  Ga.,  and  is  available  for 
distribution  to  educational  and  religious 
groups  for  $2.50. 

"How  would  you  find  out  what  Solo- 
mon's Temple  looked  like?"  writes  Dr. 
Garber.  "You  would  secure  a  student  of 
the  Bible  who  could  look  up  what  experts 
in  Biblical  languages  know  and  what 
Biblical  archaeologists  have  found.  You 
would  get  a  professional  model  maker 
skillful  in  working  with  miniature  objects 
of  wood,  metal  and  plaster.  You  would 
allow  these  partners  four  and  a  half  years 
to  carry  on  correspondence  half-way 
around  the  world,  examine  a  dozen  or 
more  libraries  and  spend  much  time  in 
what  often  proved  unfruitful  experimen- 
tation. What  you'd  get  would  be  like  the 
Howland-Garber  model  reconstruction  of 
Solomon's  Temple  which  is  now  on  display 
at  Agnes  Scott  College  in  Decatur,  Ga." 

Although  the  Bible  gives  exact  meas- 
urements and  explicit  descriptions  (I 
Kings  6-8,  II  Chronicles  3,  4,  Jeremiah 
52,  and  Ezekiel  40-42)  of  the  building 
and  its  construction,  many  points  are  left 
in  doubt,  causing  the  wide  discrepancy  in 
former  models.  It  was  for  Dr.  Garber 
to  determine  what  the  missing  details 
might  be. 

Elegant  Simplicity 

Many  of  the  former  reconstructions 
depicted  the  Temple  as  being  very 
ornate.  However,  using  the  very  detailed 
explanations  in  the  Bible,  Dr.  Garber 
constructed  a  Temple  at  once  simple  in 
design  and  elegant  in  the  rich  materials 
used,  a  fine  example  of  construction  after 
the  Phoenician  manner.  Evidence  from 
both  Biblical  text  and   Biblical  arehaeol- 


Dr.  Garber  is  shown  above  with  the 
base  of  the  Temple,  illustrating  the  floor 
plan  and  showing  how  prefabricated  con- 
struction methods  used  in  the  original 
building  were  copied. 


The  entrance  to  the  Temple  illustrates 
the  almost  modern  simplicity  of  design  and 
the  beauty  of  the  legendary  Temple,  a 
building  now  considered  much  less  ornate 
than  earlier  models  depicted  it  and  which 
owed  its  splendor  to  its  materials  and 
workmanship. 


ogy  substantiates  everything  included  in 
the  Howland-Garber  reconstruction.  Any 
features  previously  included  in  other  re- 
constructions were  omitted  if  recognized 
authorization  could  not  be  found. 

According  to  the  Bible    (I  Kings  6:2) 
"the  house  was  built  of  stone  made  ready

Western  New  York 

Duke  alumni  in  Western  New  York 
State  have  a  full  schedule  of  activities. 
They  made  a  profit  of  $289.85  on  their 
Playhouse  Benefit.  Forty  per  cent  was 
placed  in  the  scholarship  fund,  40  per 
cent  in  the  local  treasury,  and  20  per 
cent  was  forwarded  to  the  Development 
Campaign.  Jean  and  Dick  Weil,  '36, 
and  Midge  Epes,  '41,  were  chairmen  of 
a  picnic  held  a  few  days  after  the  benefit. 
The  group  has  also  been  sponsoring  a 
monthly  bridge  group. 


'42  Plans  lOlh 

Several  members  of  the  Class  of 
1942  met  on  the  campus  on  December 
9  with  Class  President  Jimmy  Walker, 
of  Raleigh,  N.  C,  to  begin  preliminary 
planning  for  a  big  10th  Year  Reunion. 

Bob  Clarke,  with  the  Air  Force 
R.O.T.C.  unit  on  the  campus,  was 
named  general  reunion  chairman,  and 
during  the  next  few  weeks  committees 
to  handle  arrangements,  programs, 
and  mailings  will  be  named. 

A  meeting  of  these  committees,  Mr. 
Walker  announced,  will  be  called  for 
January  26,  the  day  of  the  Duke-Wake 
Forest  basketball  game.  Further  in- 
formation for  the  reunion  will  be  sent 
to  all  class  members  in  the  very  near 
future. 


The  Duke-Ster,  a  newsletter  published 
by  the  group,  has  met  with  great  suc- 
cess. Jay  Shirley,  '41,  and  Joanne  Miller, 
wife  of  Gar  Miller,  '39,  are  out -going 
co-editors. 

A  new  plan  for  electing  association 
officers  has  been  proposed  by  Dick  Weil, 
chairman  of  the  nominating  committee. 
The  Executive  Board  suggested  that  in- 
stead of  submitting  a  slate  of  officers, 
nine  names  be  presented  to  compose  a 
Board,  three  members  to  be  retired  and 
three  to  be  elected  each  year.  Any  offi- 
cers would  be  elected  from  the  group  and 
by  the  group.  The  purpose  is  to  always 
have  in  office  an  interest  group  assum- 
ing responsibility  instead  of  one  or  twa 
people. 

The  fall  dinner  meeting  was  held  by 
the  group  on  November  7,  at  Katherine 
Lawrence's.  A  turkey  dinner  was  served. 
Charles  Jordan  and  John  Dozier  of  Duke 
were  special  guests.  Harold  Peterson, 
Ph.D.  '33,  was  in  charge  of  the  program, 
and  Fran  and  Skip  Bain,  '51,  were  chare- 
men  for  the  meeting. 

Duke  Economics  Meet 

A  Duke  University  Breakfast  was  held 
at  the  Andrew  Johnson  Hotel  in  Knox- 
ville,  Tenn.,  on  Saturday  morning,  Novem- 
ber 17,  in  connection  with  the  annual 
meeting  of  the  Southern  Economic  Asso- 
ciation. A  total  of  20  people  were  pres- 
ent including  five  staff  members  of  the 
Duke  Department  of  Economics  an! 
Business  Administration,  one  former 
staff  member,  and  14  alumni  of  the  De- 
partment. The  14  alumni  represented  11 
colleges  and  universities  in  the  South  and 
two  other  organizations.  Following  the 
breakfast  there  was  a  period  of  discus- 
sion   in   which   the    staff   members   sum-

marized  recent  developments  at  the  Uni- 
versity for  the  benefit  of  the  alumni. 

Participating  in  the  program  of  the 
Southern  Economic  Association  were 
Lionel  Wilfred  McKenzie,  Jr.,  '39,  assist- 
ant professor  of  economics;  B.  U.  Ratch- 
ford,  A.M.  '27,  Ph.D.  '32,  professor  of 
economics;  and  Edward  C.  Simmons  and 
Joseph  J.  Spengler,  both  Duke  profes- 
sors of  economics.  Dr.  Ratchford  was 
elected  vice-president  of  the  Association 
for  1951-52  and  will  have  the  responsibil- 
ity for  preparing  the  program  for  next 
year's  meeting,  which  will  be  held  in  Jack- 
sonville, Fla.,  during  the  month  of 
November. 

Atlanta  Chapter  Award 
Is  Now  Held  by  Freshman 

Charles  P.  McClellan,  a  Duke  Univer- 
sity freshman  from  Atlanta,  Ga.,  is 
studying  at  Duke  under  a  scholarship 
awarded  him  by  the  Atlanta  Duke  Alumni 
Association. 

Established  in  1941  by  the  Association, 
the  scholarship  fund  is  designed  to  pro- 
vide financial  assistance  for  the  higher 
education  of  worthy  students. 

Charles  graduated  from  North  Fulton 
High  School  in  Atlanta  last  June.  Out- 
standing in  high  school  activities,  he  was 
among  the  top  25  per  cent  of  his  class 
scholastieally.  He  was  president  of  the 
North  Fulton  High  School  chapter  of 
the  National  Honor  Society  and  treasurer 
of  the  senior  class.  His  memberships  in- 
cluded the  Key  Club,  junior  organization 
of  the  Kiwanis  Club ;  the  student  council ; 
Hi-T  Club;  and  the  high  school  band. 


Comans  Are  Praised 
in  Trade  Journal 

The  Coman  Lumber  Company  in  Dur- 
ham has  made  quite  a  name  for  itself 
among  small  city  lumber  dealers.  It 
is  owned  and  operated  by  James  Hilary 
Coman,  Sr.,  '16,  and  his  sons,  William 
Thomas,  '46,  James  Hilary,  Jr.,  B.S.  '44, 
and  John  S.,  who  attended  art  school  in 
New  York.  Still  another  member  of  the 
family,  Willena  Grouse  Coman  (Mrs. 
J.  H.,  Jr.),  '44,  is  also  a  Duke  alumna. 

The  June  issue  of  American  Builder,  in 
writing  about  last  year's  National  Home 
Week,  devoted  three  whole  pages  to  a 
model  home  built  in  Durham  by  the 
Coman  Lumber  Company.  More  than 
12,000  people  came  to  see  the  home  dur- 
ing the  first  two  days  it  was  open  to 
the-  public  in  spite  of  inclement  weather. 
The  house  was  sold  the  first  day  for 
$22,000,  and  within  60  days  from  the  time 
it  was  first  opened  for  inspection,  deals 
were  closed  on  materials  for  30  new 
houses. 

When  the  decision  was  made  by  the 
Comans  to  participate  in  National  Home 
Week  and  an  exhibition  house  was  chosen 
to  be  the  focal  point  of  interest,  the 
father  and  sons  team  then  had  to  choose 
a  plan  for  the  demonstration  home.  They 
decided  upon  a  modern,  ranch-style  house. 
Timing  was  perfect,  and  the  house  was 
completed  just  before  National  Home 
Week.  Decorator  colors  were  used  inside 
the  home,  and  it  was  furnished  for  in- 
spection by  a  local  furniture  store. 


Class  of  '27  Plans  for  Silver  Anniversary 


Twenty-two  members  of  the  class  of 
'27  and  some  of  their  wives  gathered 
for  a  dinner  meeting  at  University 
House  following  the  Wake  Forest 
game  on  November  10.  Dr.  Furman 
G.  McLarty,  president,  presided  as 
plans  were  laid  for  the  silver  anniver- 
sary of  the  class  to  be  held  at  com- 
mencement next  June. 

Committee  chairmen  were  appointed 
as  follows:  A.  H.  (Bus)  Borland, 
Durham,  general  chairman  of  the  anni- 
versary celebration;  A.  Hugo  Kim- 
ball, Statesville,  chairman  of  the  25th 
year  gift  committee;  Albert  A.  Wil- 
kinson, Greensboro,  chairman  of  the 
booklet  committee;  George  R.  Wal- 
lace, Morehead  City,  chairman  of  the 
program  committee ;  Elizabeth  Church- 
ill Underwood  (Mrs.  W.  A.),  Ashe- 
boro,  and  J.  Murrey  Atkins,  Charlotte, 
publicity   co-chairmen;    and   Amos    R. 


Kearns,  High  Point,  chairman  for  re- 
union finances. 

Each  chairman  spoke  to  the  group 
of  plans  for  his  committee.  The  class 
booklet  was  discussed.  In  order  to 
make  this  successful,  all  members  of 
the  class  must  fill  in  their  information 
blanks  for  use  in  the  biographical 
data.  Members  of  the  class  who  were 
present  expressed  hopes  that  there  will 
be  100  per  cent  participation  in  the 
class  gift  to  the  Development  Cam- 
paign. Anne  Garrard  of  the  Alumni 
Office  outlined  other  tentative  plans 
for  the  commencement  week  end  for 
the  group. 

Special  class  notepaper  was  dis- 
tributed to  the  members  present.  They 
plan  to  write  notes  urging  other  class 
members  to  attend  the  25th  anniver- 
sarv  at  commencement. 


Mr.  Barnes  and  John  Alexander 

Former  Glee  Club  Singer 
Returns  in  Opera's  Lead 

In  the  years  from  1941  to  1944,  J. 
Foster  ("Bishop")  Barnes  took  an  in- 
terest in  a  tenor  soloist  who  was  singing 
with  the  Duke  Chapel  Choir  and  the 
Duke  Men's  Glee  Club.  This  month  that 
same  tenor  returned  to  the  Duke  Cam- 
pus to  sing  the  role  of  Alfredo  in  the 
Charles  L.  Wagner  Opera  Company  pro- 
duction of  Verdi's  opera  "La  Traviata," 
an  off-the-series  feature  of  the  All-Star 
Artist  Series.  He  is  John  Alexander,  a 
native  of  Meridian,  Miss.,  now  on  his 
first  operatic  tour.  John  made  his  debut 
in  opera  two  years  ago  with  the  Cincin- 
nati Summer  Opera,  singing  the  leading 
role  in  Gounod's  "Faust." 

As  a  pre-med  student,  John  sang  the 
tenor  lead  in  "H.M.S.  Pinafore,"  pre- 
sented by  the  Duke  Musical  Club  in  his 
freshman  year.  He  led  many  of  the  Sun- 
day Night  Sings  on  East  Campus,  and 
during  1943-44  was  Glee  Club  president. 
John  also  was  tenor  soloist  in  the  Duke 
Choir's    presentation    of    the    "Messiah." 

Inducted  into  the  Army  in  1944,  he 
continued  to  use  his  voice  to  good  ad- 
vantage, singing  the  part  of  Canio  in  "II 
Pagliacei,"  presented  by  the  Chanute 
Field  soldiers  in  1945  in  Chicago. 

After  getting  out  of  service,  John  be- 
gan to  study  music  in  earnest.  He  be- 
came a  student  at  the  Cincinnati  Con- 
servatory of  Music,  and  was  given  excel- 
lent reviews  after  his  appearance  in 
"Faust"  and  in  recitals. 

John's  present  address  is  c/o  his  voice 
teacher,  Robert  Weede,  Demarest  Mill 
Road,  W.  Nyack,  N.  Y.

Recollection  of  Dr.  Flowers 

Letter  to  President  Edens  Recalls  Late  Chancellor 


Taniagawa-Heian    (Peace)    Church 
3-5  Taniagawa-Okusawa 
Setagaya-Ku,  Tokyo,  Japan 

Oct.  23,  1951 
Dr.  A.  Hollis  Edens 
Office  of  the  President 
Duke  University 
Durham,  N.  C. 
U.  S.  A.       , 
Dear  President  Edens: 

My  heart  almost  breaks  when  I  think 
of  the  passing  of  Chancellor  Flowers 
that  took  place  just  two  months  ago. 
Two  of  my  dear  friends,  lovers  of  Duke, 
kindly  informed  me  of  it  with  newspaper 
clippings.  The  pictures  of  his  later  days 
on  them  do  not  fail  to  remind  me  of  my 
good  days  at  Trinity  as  he  used  to  teach 
me  trigonometry  and  at  the  Main  Street 
Church  Sunday  School  the  Bible.  I  loved 
his  eyes  when  he  lovingly  smiled  and  his 
lips  seriously  warned.  I  shall  never  for- 
get his  most  spontaneous  reply  he  gave 
to  us  at  our  S.  S.  when  questioned  about 
hell.  "Boys,  I  really  don't  know  how  it 
looks  like,  and  I  truly  hope  I  shall  never 
need  to  know  about  it."  Ever  since  I 
have  never  been  bothered  by  the  question 
concerning  of  the  hell!  I  simply  try  to 
long  after  the  heaven.  In  May  1938  I 
attended  the  General  Conference  of 
M.  E.  Church,  South  in  Birmingham, 
Alabama,  as  the  Fraternal  Delegate  of 
Japan  Methodist  Church  and  also  had  an 
opportunity  to  visit  the  Duke's  Com- 
mencement. I  called  on  him  and  he 
tightly  shook  my  hand  as  usual  calling 
me  "Hinohara"  with  his  characteristic 
smile  even  most  beamingly.  Some  time 
in  the  fall  in  1904  during  the  Russ- 
Japanse  war  I  was  reading  some  news- 
papers in  the  Library  when  Prof.  Flow- 
ers happened  to  come  in  and  saw  me  so 
absorbed  in  reading  the  news.  He  patted 
my  shoulder  and  told  me  that  he  had  held 
a  little  gift  his  S.  S.  Class  meant  to 
surprise  me  with  as  they  knew  I  had 
been  working  hard  to  make  my  way 
through.  He  returned  to  his  room  and 
brought  me  a  tobacco  sack  full  of  silver 
coins. 

It  was  a  Tuesday  afternoon  and  on  the 
Sunday  previous  I  attended  the  West 
Durham  Church  to  hear  the  late  Rev. 
Langston  preach.  It  was  a  Missionary 
Sunday  and  a  special  collection  was  taken 
up  for  his  Church's  assessment  after  his 
strong  appeal.  I  had  a  quarter  left  in 
my   pocket  which  was   my   last   coin   for 


some  time  to  come.  But  I  dared  to  give 
it  for  the  cause  only  to  be  so  ashamed  of 
myself  for  my  most  insignificant  offering 
hence  deciding  to  give  myself  as  well 
with  it  for  the  great  cause.  For  I  had 
been  preparing  myself  for  a  teacher  in- 
stead of  preacher. 

When  I  opened  the  sack  I  received 
from  Prof.  Flowers  in  my  room  I  found 
there  the  jingling  coins  of  silver  and  cop- 
per as  much  as  $11.25.  Only  two  days 
after  I  gave  a  quarter  to  the  Lord  and 
He  gave  it  back  to  me  plus  eleven  dollars 
almost  immediately  to  my  great  surprise 
and  gratitude. 

The  late  Dr.  Plato  Durham,  a  man  of 
great  prayers,  loved  Kugimiya  (who  was 
made  the  Bishop  of  our  Methodist  Church 
in  his  later  days)  and  gave  him  his  own 
overcoat  for  his  first  winter  at  Trinity, 
but  our  Prof.  Bob  Flowers  gave  me  Faith 
in  God  whose  Love  never  faileth. 

I  know  you  all  miss  him,  this  great 
sainted  man  and  most  devoted  Duke  serv- 
ant, more  than  words  can  express  for 
your  great  Institution  of  Learning  there. 
So  much  so  we,  or  rather  I,  miss  him  very 
much  here.  But  over  There  we  will  meet 
him  again,  if  we  only  strive  to  live  like 
him. 

Dear  President,  please  pardon  for  my 
lengthy  words  of  condolence  which  I  hope 
you  will  convey  to  the  bereaved  family 
of  our  beloved  teacher  and  leader  as  I 
know  them  not  well  except  one  of  his 
brothers.  I  have  one  of  my  sons  study- 
ing at  Emory's  Graduate  School  of  Medi- 
cine. I  asked  him  to  send  to  your  office 
(in  care  of  Miss  Garrard)  $5  for  a  little 
bouquet  for  my  sake  to  decorate  the 
monument  of  my  dear  teacher  as  a  little 
token  of  my  affection  and  gratitude.  By 
the  way,  my  son  will  pay  a  visit  to  you 
and  to  your  great  University,  my  dear 
Alma  Mater  sometime  next  year  before 
he  starts  back  for  home.  I  hope  you  will 
help  him  to  see  your  Medical  School  and 
fine  hospital. 

Tours  most  cordially, 

Rev.  Zensuke  Hinohara

Dan  Edwards,  Ed  Fike 
Take  Posts  in  London 

Dan  K.  Edwards,  '35,  former  mayor  of 
Durham  who  has  been  serving  as  Assist- 
ant Secretary  of  Defense  in  Washington, 
D.  C,  since  last  May,  was  recently  ap- 
pointed Vice  United  States  Deputy  of 
the  North  Atlantic  Defense  Council  by 
President  Truman.  The  appointment, 
which  became  effective  November  19 
with  an  indefinite  term  of  office,  has  re- 
quired Mr.  Edwards  to  move  his  head- 
quarters from  Washington  to  London. 

Ed  Fike,  '41,  who  is  on  leave  of  ab- 
sence from  his  job  as  head  of  the  Duke 
University  Bureau  of  Public  Information 
while  serving  as  Mr.  Edwards'  adminis- 
trative assistant,  is  accompanying  him. 

The  new  post  has  arisen  out  of  in- 
creased responsibilities  of  the  North  At- 
lantic Defense  Pact,  according  to  Mr. 
Edwards.  Mr.  Edwards  points  out  that 
"decisions  have  not  been  made  as  to  the 
specific  manner  in  which  the  mutual 
assistance  program  will  be  administered." 
His  work  will  be  essentially  a  policy- 
making and  inter-governmental  relations 
job.  He  will  be  assistant  to  Ambassador 
Charles  Spofford,  who  is  the  United 
States  representative  on  the  North  At- 
lantic Defense  Council.  That  Council  is 
composed     of     one     representative    from

DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER,  December,  1951 


Correction 

In  the  last  issue  of  the  Register  it 
was  erroneously  stated  that  Dr.  and 
Mrs.  Richard  A.  Harvill  are  the  par- 
ents of  two  children.  This  mistake 
occurred  through  a  misinterpretation 
of  published  biographical  data.  Dr. 
Harvill  was  recently  inaugurated  as 
President  of  the  University  of  Ari- 
zona. He  was  awarded  the  A.M.  de- 
gree by  Duke  in  1927.  Mrs.  Harvill 
is  the  former  George  Lee  Garner, 
A.M.  '30. 


each  of  the  12  North  Atlantic  Defense 
Pact  nations. 

In  a  letter  to  Mr.  Edwards,  President 
Truman  said,  "Your  outstanding  service 
in  the  military  forces  during  World  War 
II  and  recently  as  Assistant  Secretary  of 
Defense  have  contributed  greatly  to 
strengthening  the  security  of  our  nation. 
I  am  happy  that  you  are  accepting  this 
further  assignment  abroad  where  you  can 
contribute  to  the  building  of  the  mili- 
tary strength  of  our  allies  in  Western 
Europe." 

Accepting  the  new  position,  Mr.  Ed- 
wards commented,  "I  am  delighted  to  get 
into  this  particular  aspect  of  the  United 
States  defense  problem.  This  area  is  one 
of  the  most  vital  of  our  defense  activities 
at  the  moment.  Our  North  Atlantic  and 
European  allies  are  our  first  line  of 
defense." 

Todd  Wins  History  Prize 

Richard  C.  Todd,  Ph.D.  '50,  who  is 
associate  professor  of  history  at  East 
Carolina  Teachers  College,  Greenville, 
N.  C,  has  been  awarded  the  Mrs.  Simon 
Baruch  University  Prize  of  $1,000  which 
is  offered  biennially  by  the  United  Daugh- 
ters of  the  Confederacy  for  an  unpub- 
lished monograph  or  essay  of  high  merit 
in  the  field  of  Southern  history. 

Dr;  Todd's  "A  History  of  Confederate 
Finance,"  written  as  a  doctoral  disserta- 
tion at  Duke,  was  chosen  for  the  honor 
because  of  its  contribution  to  the  history 
of  the  Confederacy  and  of  the  War  Be- 
tween the  States. 

Selection  of  the  prize-winning  work 
was  made  on  the  bases  of  "effectiveness 
of  research,  originality  of  thought,  accu- 
racy of  statement,  and  excellence  of 
style."  The  award  was  presented  to  Dr. 
Todd  by  Mrs.  Oscar  McKenzie,  Monte- 
zuma, Ga.,  chairman  of  the  Mrs.  Simon 
Baruch  University  Prize  Committee,  at 
an  evening  ceremony  in  the  George  Van- 


derbilt  Hotel,  Asheville,  N.  C,  during 
the  National  Convention  of  the  United 
Daughters  of  the  Confederacy. 

Dealing  with  the  various  financial  ex- 
pedients used  by  the  Confederacy  in 
meeting  its  obligations  at  home  and 
abroad,  Dr.  Todd's  history  focuses  atten- 
tion upon  the  "organization  and  person- 
nel responsible  for  carrying  out  the 
financial  measures  of  the  Government  and 
on  the  numerous  problems  confronting 
their  operation." 

"Federal  specie  located  in  the  mints 
and  customhouses  of  the  South  was  con- 
fiscated," Dr.  Todd  states  in  the  work; 
"property  of  alien  enemies  was  seques- 
tered, and  military  supplies  were  im- 
pressed ;  duties  were  placed  on  exports 
and  imports;  direct  taxes  were  levied; 
donations  and  gifts  were  cheerfully  ac- 
cepted and  gratefully  acknowledged;  and 


Treasury  notes  flooded  the  market  while 
loans  were  floated  in  a  attempt  to  stabi- 
lize the  redundant  currency  and  offer  a 
basis  for  foreign  exchange." 

A  native  of  Lancaster,  Pa.,  Dr.  Todd 
received  his  education  at  State  Teachers 
College,  Millersville,  Pa.,  Pennsylvania 
State  College,  and  Duke,  where  he  held 
a  graduate  assistantship  in  1946-47  and 
was  awarded  a  fellowship  in  1947-48 
while  working  for  his  doctor's  degree. 
Before  coming  to  North  Carolina,  he 
taught  at  various  high  schools  in  Penn- 
sylvania. He  taught  at  High  Point  Col- 
lege, High  Point,  N.  C,  before  joining 
the  faculty  of  East  Carolina  College. 

Mrs.  Todd  worked  with  the  Depart- 
ment of  Political  Science  and  with  the 
Alumni  Office  while  her  husband  was  in 
school.  They  are  now  living  in  their  new 
home  in  Greenville. 


Hun  ii  Family  Praised  for  Far  in  Achievement 


A  green  farm,  winter  and  summer,  is 
the  achieved  ideal  of  Charles  Settle  Bunn, 
'17,  and  his  family  of  Stanhope,  N.  C. 
The  family  includes  Mrs.  Bunn,  the  for- 
mer Agnes  Smith;  their  sons,  Charles 
Ivey  Bunn,  '39,  and  his  wife,  Florence 
Craig  Bunn,  '47;  Braxton,  '46;  Spruill, 
who  is  still  in  high  school;  and  two 
daughters,  Nan  Bunn  Cummings  (Mrs. 
Ray),  R.N.,  B.S.N.  '47,  and  Sidney,  '49. 
The  Bunn  homestead,  Gold  Leaf  Farm, 
is  an  excellent  example  of  the  vital  con- 
tributions to  agriculture  and  modern 
farming. 

Recognition  has  been  given  the  Bunns 
for  their  outstanding  farming.  The 
April,  1951,  Country  Gentleman  car- 
ried a  lengthy  feature  on  the  Bunn 
family  and  farm,  complete  with  illustra- 
tions. A  particularly  significant  award 
was  made  to  Mr.  Bunn  and  his  family 
this  year  when  they  were  designated  a 
Master  Farm  Family.  This  nationally 
awarded  honor  provides  an  opportunity 
for  farmers  to  receive  appropriate  recog- 
nition for  outstanding  endeavor  which 
was  denied  them  before.  It  is  sponsored 
in  the  South  by  the  Progressive  Farmer 
and  the  agricultural  extension  services  of 
the  respective  state  colleges. 

In  November,  the  people  of  Nash 
County  turned  out  more  than  400-strong 
to  further  honor  this  Master  Farm  Fam- 
ily. The  first  family  in  the  region  ever 
to  win  the  Master  Farm  Family  designa- 
tion in  nearly  30  years  of  competition 
for  this  award,  the  Bunns  have  proved 
that  farming  as  a  profession  and  as  a 
way  of  life  can  be  both  successful  and 


satisfying.  A  special  ceremony  was  held 
in  the  Stanhope  School  auditorium.  The 
crowds  who  came  were  not  all  able  to  get 
into  the  school.  Afterwards  they  were 
all  invited  to  a  barbecue  supper  pro- 
vided by  the  Bunns.  Miss  Anne  Garrard 
and  Mr.  Allen  Tyree  of  the  Duke  Alumni 
Office  attended  the  ceremony.  Speakers 
included  Colonel  J.  W.  Harrelson,  chan- 
cellor of  North  Carolina  State  College, 
and  Dr.  Clarence  Poe,  editor  of  the  Pro- 
gressive Farmer. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Settle  Bunn  were  mar- 
ried in  1917,  and  after  World  War  I 
they  moved  to  the  farm,  where  they  have 
lived  ever  since.  According  to  the  Rocky 
Mount  Evening  Telegram,  "The  Bunns 
have  provided  all  that  one  could  look  for 
in  the  ideal  farm  family.  They  started 
on  land  they  did  not  own  and  battled 
their  way  through  mortgages  and  the 
other  hardships  until  today  they  own  not 
only  the  original  tract,  but  have  added 
considerably  to  it.  They  also  have  im- 
proved their  methods,  their  stock  and 
their  knowledge  of  farming.  More  than 
that,  they  have  made  farming  interesting 
enough  for  their  children  to  want  to  re- 
main on  the  soil.  And  in  addition  to 
all  this,  the  Bunns  have  been  good  neigh- 
bors all  the  way  through." 

Besides  maintaining  a  green  farm  the 
year  around,  the  Bunns  are  among  the 
leading  livestock  people  in  North  Caro- 
lina. They  have  a  miiking  herd  of  100 
cows,  and  have  also  found  hogs  very 
profitable.  Tobacco,  corn,  oats,  barley, 
certified  seed  wheat,  alfalfa  hay,  and

The  Undergraduate  View 

by  Ronny  Nelson,  '52 


Who  Had  the  Bell? 

While  University  officials  and  student 
leaders  were  launching  their  campaign 
against  vandalism  and  state  police  ex- 
tending by  several  links  their  long  arm, 
school  spirit  began  to  shake  off  the  com- 
paratively dormant  state  in  which  it  has 
lain  since  the  end  of  last  year's  football 
season.  The  reason :  the  sixty-f ourth  re- 
newal of  the  Duke-Carolina  football 
series,  slated  for  Duke  Stadium. 

As  usual,  the  freshmen  took  the  initia- 
tive, if  by  force  in  the  beginning,  cer- 
tainly by  their  own  willingness  and  sheer 
inability  to  remain  untouched  by  the  thing 
later  on,  as  the  entire  student  body  was 
snatched  up  and  swept  along  by  the  tide. 

By  Wednesday  the  materials  of  the  tra- 
ditional bonfire  began  to  take  visible 
shape  on  Freshman  Field,  and  prepara- 
tions for  Friday  night's  colossal  pep 
rally  were  well  in  the  making.  Thanks- 
giving Day  proved  the  lull  before  the 
storm,  as  all  concerned  rested  and  gorged 
themselves,  as  is  the  custom.  But  by 
Thursday  night  it  was  on  again  stronger 
than  ever. 

Throughout  the  small  hours  four-hour 
shifts    stood    guard    against    trespassers 


from  the  Hill,  and  the  night  and  next 
day  passed  without  incident.  During  the 
rally  and  subsequent  firing  off,  frenzy 
reached  its  highest  pitch,  and  remained 
there  well  after  the  final  gun  had  sounded 
the  following  afternoon,  leaving  Duke  the 
19-7  victor. 

Until  now  the  whole  episode  had  come 
off  with  a  surprising  lack  of  incident, 
considering  the  amount  of  spirit  that  had 
been  generated  and  sustained.  But  it 
wouldn't  be  a  Duke-Carolina  weekend 
without  some  sort  of  shenanigans,  and 
this  year  was  certainly  no  dud.  The 
whole  thing  centered  about  the  Victory 
Bell,  a  very  real  and  revered  symbol  of 
success  which  Duke  has  had  the  good  for- 
tune to  possess  for  the  last  year,  the 
first,  incidently,  in  its  five-year  history. 

During  the  hectic  confusion  following 
the  game,  a  Duke  freshman  charged  with 
seeing  that  the  bell  got  to  wherever  it 
was  supposed  to  be,  somehow  managed, 
unknowingly,  to  enlist  the  aid  of  two 
Carolina  boys  and  their  car  in  towing  it 
to  East  Campus  for  another  small  rally. 
En  route  the  party  stopped  off  in  down- 
town Durham,  which  ordinarily  is  pretty 
well   off   the    beaten   track    between   East 


and  West,  for  some  sort  of  birthday 
celebration. 

Innocently  believing  himself  to  be  in 
the  midst  of  a  strictly  Duke  gathering, 
the  frosh  proceeded  to  forget  completely 
about  the  bell  and  plunge  himself  into  a 
whopping  good  time.  When  he  next 
thought  of  his  responsibility,  it  was,  of 
course,  well  on  its  way  to  Chapel  Hill. 

Several  days  of  mystery  followed,  when 
almost  no  one  knew  the  whereabouts  of 
the  bell  and  those  that  did  weren't  saying. 
Several  newspapers  played  the  story  up, 
running  a  picture  released  from  Chapel 
Hill  showing  the  bell  and  absconders, 
and  labeling  it,  "Somewhere  in  Orange 
County."  But  by  the  middle  of  the  week 
no  one  had  given  much  serious  thought  to 
the  problem  of  how  to  get  the  bell  back, 
nor  even  seemed  worried  about  its  safety. 
The  Carolina  boys  were  suddenly  put  in 
the  position  of  having  something  on 
their  hands  that  nobody  wanted,  a  situa- 
tion contrary  to  their  hopes  and  wishes. 

Finally,  on  Thursday,  a  plan  of  re- 
venge began  to  take  form.  Leaflets  were 
posted  around  campus  and  shoved  under 
doors  announcing  a  mid-night  raid  on 
Hogan's  Lake  to  recover  the  bell  and  also 
to  make  an  attempt  at  snatching  the 
Carolina  Ram.  Presumably  everything 
was  in  readiness  when  the  long  arm  of 
the  Chapel  Hill  law  reached  out,  scooped 
up  the  bell,  and  deposited  it,  intact  and

evidently  none  the  worse  for  wear,  on  the 
Duke  campus,  where  it  will  reside  until 
hostilities  are  renewed  once  again  next 
year. 

Thus    a    march    on    Chapel    Hill    was 

thwarted. 

****** 

In  a  whirlwind  campaign  tour  of 
North  Carolina's  universities,  Senator 
Robert  A.  Taft  stopped  at  Duke  long 
enough  to  eat  some  lunch  and  talk  for 
an  hour  to  an  overflowing  crowd  of  stu- 
dents, most  of  whom  he  hopes  will  be 
old  enough  to  vote  by  next  November. 
Without  benefit  of  notes,  the  Senator 
touched  on  Communism,  the  Democratic 
Administration,  the  Voice  of  America, 
his  foreign  policy,  and  the  three  major 
issues  of  the  coming  election  campaign. 
But,  strangely  enough,  he  failed  to  go  into 
detail  about  his  views  of  the  draft  and 
UMT,  the  two  subjects  which  are  prob- 
ably uppermost  in  the  minds  of  most  col- 
lege students.  It  was  noted  by  many 
that,  although  the  Senator  bore  a  closer 
resemblance  to  a  professor  lecturing  than 
a  candidate  campaigning,  still  a  poli- 
tician is  a  politician,  and  the  proof  can 
usually  be  found  in  the  things  he  doesn't 
talk  about. 

****** 

No  sooner  had  Duke  football  breathed 
its  last  than  basketball  was  upon  us,  and 
in  bigger  and  better  form  than  we  had 
ever  seen  it.  The  season  opened  with 
hoop-famous  Temple  taking  on  the  Blue 
Devils  in  the  Indoor  Stadium,  or  as  many 
newspaper  writers  put  it,  Groat  against 
Mlkvy.  Both  Duke's  team  and  its  star 
fared  equally  well,  over-shadowing  the 
opponent  with  comparative  ease.  And 
almost  as  exciting  as  the  game  itself  was 
the  presence  of  Life  magazine  photogra- 
phers, whose  equipment  and  the  use  of 
it  literally  dazzled  the  crowd.  Life  sales 
will  undoubtedly  double  on  the  campus 
until  after  the  article  appears. 
****** 

Once  again  the  age-old  problem  of  class 
attendance  has  come  to  the  fore,  this  time 
with  some  new  and  more  convincing  argu- 
ments. Sponsored  by  the  Student  Gov- 
ernments of  both  campuses  and  supported 
by  campus  newspaper  columnists,  the 
move  is  aimed  at  a  more  liberal  cut  sys- 
tem, which,  interpreted  by  the  student 
body,  means  unlimited  cuts.  Besides  the 
usual  case  for  the  free  cut  system,  which 
includes  the  desire  of  the  student  to 
stand  on  his  own  feet  and  make  his  own 
decisions,  the  idea  has  been  put  forward 
that  if  a  professor  were  not  guaranteed  a 
full  audience  three  times  a  week,  rain  or 
shine,   but  had   to   depend   solely   on   the 


interest  of  his  lecture  and  his  ability  to 
draw  the  student  to  his  classroom,  it 
might  well  improve  the  quality  of  lecture 
and  lecturer,  not  to  mention  the  student's 
capacity     for     assimilating     information 


thrown  out  in  these  classes  which  he 
really  wants  to  attend.  At  present  the 
chances  for  adoption  of  any  such  system 
seem  narrow,  but  then  again,  at  Duke 
you  never  can  tell.

will  deliver  seven  sermons  on  the  general 
theme,  "Names  for  the  Christian"  during 
the  six-day  event  designed  to  offer  a 
sound  and  attractive  interpretation  of  the 
Gospel  by  an  effective  and  distinguished 
minister. 
Professional  Jargon 

"Professional  jargon  is  more  precise 
and  less  liable  to  errors  of  interpretation 
than  ordinary  English,"  says  Mrs.  J. 
Harned,  Duke  University  Medical  School 
record  librarian.  In  her  new  and  unique 
book,  Medical  Terminology  Made  Easy, 
Mrs.  Harned  explains  origins  of  medical 
words,  presents  techniques  for  learning 
meanings,     spelling,     and     pronunciation. 


and  gives  a  list  and  explanation  of  com- 
monly recognized  practices  in  medicine. 
Designed  as  a  text,  it  will  be  used  to 
train  medical  record  librarians  at  Duke 
and  elsewhere. 

Aid  for  Atom  Victims 

Realizing  the  impossibility  of  admin- 
istering anesthetics  to  the  countless  vic- 
tims of  an  atomic  attack,  Dr.  Kenneth  L. 
Pickrell,  professor  of  plastic  surgery  at 
Duke,  thinks  he  has  hit  upon  an  answer. 
While  exhibiting  a  trilene  inhaler  to  the 
American  Society  of  Plastic  and  Recon- 
structive Surgery,  Dr.  Pickrell  explained 
that  "trilene  is  a  liquid  and  is  not  an 
anesthesia,  or,  simply,  it  doesn't  produce 
unconsciousness.  It  takes  away  the  pain 
without  necessarily  putting  the  patient 
out."  With  this  inhaler,  which  could  be 
operated  by  a  child,  vast  numbers  of 
patients  could  be  treated  quickly  and 
efficiently. 

Restraints  Threaten  Freedom 

"Restraints  upon  the  liberty  of  educa- 
tional and  intellectual  activity  are  a  chal- 
lenge to  the  very  principles  of  democracy 
itself,"  Dr.  Glenn  Negley,  chairman  of 
the  Duke  Philosophy  Department  told  the 
North  Carolina  Philosophical  Association 
in  a  speech  delivered  in  Greensboro.  "The 
very  ideas,  principles,  and  ideals  of 
democracy  must  be  subject  to  controversy 
and  attack.  In  no  other  way  can  it  be 
supposed  that  democratic  ideas  will  pro- 
vide us  with  reliable  guides  and  purposes 
of  action."  Dr.  Negley  attacked  Loyalty 
oaths  and  Congressional  immunity  as 
serious  threats  to  our  democracy.  "No 
individual  in  a  democracy  can  be  allowed 
immunity  from  legal  procedure,"  he  said. 
"In  democratic  society,  lawlessness  is  the 
eternal  foe  of  liberty." 

Solar  Effect  on  Behavior 

"Behavior  and  human  feelings  may  be 
conditioned  by  external  force  to  a  degree 
hitherto  unsuspected,"  said  Dr.  Leonard 
J.  Ravitz,  psychiatrist  at  Duke  Medical 
School,  while  explaining  a  new  theory  to 
the   Southern  Medical  Association.     For 


DUKE  ALUMNI  REGISTER.  December,  1951

two  years,  Dr.  Ravitz  has  been  experi- 
menting with  the  idea  that  the  behavior 
of  insane — and  normal — persons  is  linked 
to  the  solar  system.  By  measuring  the 
electric  potential  of  the  human  body  and 
plotting  the  mathematical  results,  the 
Duke  psychiatrist  discovered  that  marked 
changes  were  shown  to  coincide  with  sun- 
moon  phases  and  with  the  seasons.  "This 
doesn't  mean,"  Dr.  Ravitz  said,  "that  we 
can  diagnose  insanity,  but  now  we  can 
definitely  diagnose  the  changing  degrees 
of  mental  disturbance." 

To  Slow  Smoking  Habit 

"People  who  have  to  have  cigarettes 
need  psychological  help,  not  scare  tac- 
tics such  as  threats  of  stomach  ulcers  or 
lung  cancer."  This  is  the  opinion  of  Dr. 
Gelolo  McHugh,  Duke  psychologist,  based 
on  data  collected  over  a  five-year  period 
and  covering  some  600  people.  Instead 
of  trying  to  swear  off  smoking,  or  limit 
smoking  to  a  certain  number  of  cigarettes 
each  day,  Dr.  McHugh  suggests  that  an 
hour  or  two  of  each  day  be  set  aside  as 
a  no-smoking  period.  In  this  way,  ac- 
cording   to    Dr.    McHugh's    experiments, 


cigarette  control  gradually  grows  stronger, 
and  the  smoker  is  well  on  his  way  "to 
mastering  cigarettes  instead  of  being  mas- 
tered by  them." 

OPS  Questioned 

"The  Office  of  Price  Stabilization  is 
resorting  to  regulations  which  attempt  to 
fix  prices  by  freezing  the  methods  used 
in  computing  prices  instead  of  the  prices 
themselves,"  wrote  Duke  economist  Dr. 
Lloyd  Saville  in  the  current  Southern 
Economic  Journ-al.  "Under  this  type  of 
control  the  public  tends  to  relinquish  its 
power  to  hold  prices  down  by  consumer 
pressures,  and  inflationary  tendencies 
often  result."  Outlining  his  opinions  in 
an  article  entitled  "A  Problem  in  the 
Economics  of  Price  Control,"  Dr.  Saville 
set  forth  several  alternative  programs, 
based  on  the  results  of  a  detailed  study 
of  controls  during  World  War  II. 

Struggle  Can  End  in  Stalemate 

All-out  war  between  Russia  and  the 
United  States  would  probably  end  in  a 
stalemate,  Dr.  Theodore  Ropp,  Duke  his- 
tory professor  and  military  expert,  said 
in   a   recent   talk   at   a   Pinehurst,   N.   C, 


Baldwin  Scholarship  Continues  Growth 


The  Woman's  College  Scholarship  Com- 
mittee feels  that  the  continuing  wide- 
spread interest,  both  in  the  raising  of 
funds  and  in  the  selection  of  scholars 
indicates  the  recognition  of  the  value  of 
concerted  effort  in  expanding  and  admin- 
istering impartially  scholarships  adequate 
to  the  needs  in  the  Woman's  College. 

One  of  the  more  far-reaching  scholar- 
ship funds  in  the  Woman's  College  is  the 
Alice  M.  Baldwin  Scholarship  Fund.  On 
June  30,  1951,  the  fund  reached  a  total 
of  $22,703.26.  This  amount  represents  a 
gain  during  the  fiscal  year  1950-51  of 
$2,863.07  derived  from  class  gifts,  Cam- 
pus Chest,  individual  contributions,  and 
increase  in  investment  account.  Two 
items  especially  account  for  the  major 
part  of  the  gain:  the  Campus  Chest  con- 
tribution, which  has  constituted  a  vital 
annual  source  of  support,  was  $840.69; 
and  the  Senior  Class  gift' of  $985.59  was 
made  in  memory  of  two  deceased  mem- 
bers,    Berenice    vLipscomb     and     Betsy 

Thorup.  :;„m.r;    to 

The  third  of  a  series ,, of  ..engravings  for 
the  Baldwin  Fund  Charjel^W^ndow  Note 
Paper  .project  was  made,  by  Professor 
Earl  Mueller.  A  small,  supplv  of  note 
paper  is  still  available.  Tagome  from  this 
project  goes  to  defray  expenses,  and  all 


that  is  possible  is  put  into  the  Fund's 
principle. 

Interest  from  the  Fund's  principle  made 
it  possible  to  finance  four  scholarships  for 
1951-52.  For  the  first  three  years  of  the 
Fund's  operation,  only  one  scholarship 
was  awarded  each  year.  In  the  fourth 
year,  there  were  three  scholarship  re- 
cipients. 

Acting  on  the  principles  of  selection 
set  up  in  the  Plan  of  Establishment,  the 
Committee  awarded  scholarships  to  those 
applicants  deemed  most  worthy  on  the 
bases  of  seholarliness,  character,  contri- 
bution to  Duke  community  life,  and  finan- 
cial need.  Out  of  21  worthy  applicants 
considered,  Hester  Van  Metre  Hough, 
'52;  Anne  Moreau  Jansky,  '54;  Barbara 
Snyder,  '52;  and  Christina  Katheryn 
White,  53,  were  chosen  as  scholarship 
winners  for  1951-52. 

Members  of  the  Woman's  College 
Scholarship  Committee  for  1951-52  are 
faculty:  Miss  Mary  Poteat,  chairman; 
Richard  L.  Watson,  Jr.;  Julia  R.  Grout; 
alumnae:  Mary  K.  Clyde  (Mrs.  P.  H.), 
"27;  Louise  Seabolt,  '25;  students:  Thelma 
Stevens,  '52  (president,  WSGA)  ;  Susan 
Pickens,  '52  (student  member  at  large)  ; 
Rebecca  Woollen,  '52  (president,  Pan- 
hellenic  Council)  ;' and  Joan  Gilliam,  '53 
(Panhellenic   scholarship    chairman). 


forum.  Backing  up  this  statement,  Dr. 
Ropp  explained,  "For  the  first  time  in 
modern  European  history,  there  is  no 
great  land  army  in  Western  Europe. 
Thus  there  is  no  balance  of  power.  This 
has  disastrously  affected  traditional  U.  S. 
foreign  policy,  which  has  turned  on  tip- 
ping that  balance  against  the  aggressor. 
The  balance  is  slowly  being  restored,  but 
the  slowness  of  our  progress  makes  it 
reasonably  clear  that  a  stalemate  would 
result  from  an  actual  war."  In  regard 
to  an  atomic  war,  Dr.  Ropp  stated  that 
although  we  lead  Russia  by  a  large  mar- 
gin in  the  stockpile  of  atomic  bombs — 
he  puts  the  number  of  U.  S.  bombs  at 
1,000  against  fifty  for  Russia — delivery 
is  a  serious  question,  since  the  B-36 
bomber  is  now  becoming  obsolete  and  the 
new  jet  bombers  are  just  getting  into 
production.  "Their  (Russia's)  greatest 
weakness  is  still  their  inability  to  get  at 
the  United  States,  but  we  cannot  get  at 
them  either  except  by  air." 

Religion  in  Medicine 

"It  is  time  religion  began  to  speak  its 
piece  and  exert  its  creative  efforts  in 
the  field  of  health  and  mental  hygiene," 
declared  Dr.  Russell  L.  Dicks  of  the  Duke 
Divinity  School  upon  the  announcement 
of  a  new  magazine,  Religion  and  Health, 
which  will  make  its  appearance  in  Feb- 
ruary. The  proposed  pocket-size  publi- 
cation, which  aims  at  "bridging  the"  gap 
between  medicine  and  religion,"  will  be 
under  the  editorship  of  Dr.  Dicks.  In 
addition  to  regular  departments,  the  mag- 
azine will  feature  articles  by  recognized 
leaders  in  the  fields  of  religion  and 
medicine.

Flashy  Devils  Open  With  Four  Wins 


With  five  sophomores  and  a  graduate 
student  playing  for  the  first  time  on  a 
12-man  squad,  Duke's  basketball  team 
appears  headed  for  one  of  its  best  seasons 
in  recent  years. 

In  the  Blue  Devil's  first  three  games 
in  Coach  Harold  Bradley's  second  year 
at  the  helm,  they  scored  impressive  wins. 
They  downed  Temple  85-48  in  the  opener, 
lagged»;behind  in  the  stretch  but  won  over 
Hanes**  Hosiery  78-68,  trounced  North 
Carolina  77-59  in  the  Gerry  Gerard 
Memorial  Game,  won  out  over  highly 
regarded  Bradley  87-69,  and  then  aston- 
ished everyone  by  dropping  a  72,-73  de- 
cision to  underrated  Furman. 

Dick  Groat,  six-foot  guard  from  Swiss- 
vale,  Pa.,  captains  the  team.  He  is  one 
of  six  lettermen,  the  others  being  for- 
wards Bill  Fleming  of  Philadelphia,  Kes 
Deimling  of  River  Forest,  111.,  and  Dick 
Latimer  of  Bethesda,  Md.;  center  Dick 
Crowder  of  High  Point,  N.  C;  and 
guard  Dick  Johnson  of  Dayton,  Ohio. 

The  sophomores  are  forwards  Bernie 
Janicki  of  Ambridge,  Pa.,  one  of  the 
high  scorers  in  the  early  games,  and 
Charlie  Driesell  of  Norfolk,  Va. ;  center 
Rudy  Lacy  of  Roanoke,  Va. ;  and  guards 
Rudy  D'Emilio  of  Philadelphia,  and 
Fred  Shabel  of  Union  City,  N.  J. 

The  graduate  student  among  the  crew 
is  six-five  center  Carl  Glasow  (pronounced 
Glass-O)  of  Rochester,  N.  Y.  During  the 
war  he  attended  Cornell  as  a  member  of 
the  Navy's  V-12  program,  graduating 
with  a  B.S.  in  mechanical  engineering  and 
winning  two  basketball  monograms.  Later 
he  received  his  master's  in  physical  metal- 
lurgy at  the  University  of  Rochester. 
After   working   as    an    engineer   for   one 


year,  he  entered  Duke's  Divinity  School. 
He  was  discovered  while  playing  intra- 
mural sports  with  the  future  preachers. 

Groat,  who  led  the  nation's  major  col- 
lege players  in  most  points  and  most  free 
throws  last  year,  setting  new  national  rec- 
ords in  both  departments  with  831  points 
and  261  free  throws,  has  again  been  the 
top  scorer  for  the  team  in  early  games. 
He  tossed  in  33  tallies  against  Temple  to. 
outscore  the  Temple  ace,  Bill  Mlkvy,  33- 
17,  then  added  26  points  against  Hanes 
Hosiery.  He  was  held  to  only  two  points 
in  the  first  half  against  North  Carolina, 
but  rallied  to  score  14  points  in  the  sec- 
ond half  before  fouling  out  with  two 
minutes  left.  Against  Bradley  he  tallied 
25  points,  and  got  15  in  the  Furman 
fracas. 

Janicki  scored  50  points  in  the  first 
three  games.  He  had  21  in  the  opener 
against  Temple,  13  against  Hames  Ho- 
siery and  16  against  Carolina. 

While  their  scoring  totals  haven't  been 
as  sensational  as  some  of  the  others,  two 


of  the  three  newcomers  who  have  won 
starting  berths  haver  aided  the  team 
greatly  with  their  all-round  performances. 
They  are  Glasow  and  D'Emilio.  Glasow 
is  the  center  and  owns  a  potent  hook  shot. 
D'Emilio,  who  in  some  ways  follows 
Groat's  style  of  play,  is  a  great  floorman. 

The  Blue  Devil  cagers  face  a  strong- 
schedule  this  season.  Besides  the  regular 
campaign  against  Conference  and  inter- 
sectional  foes,  they  will  again  play  in  the 
Dixie  Classic  Tournament  at  Raleigh. 
Runners-up  in  the  meet  last  year,  Duke 
faces  a  strong  Columbia  University  team 
that  won  22  games  without  defeat  last 
season  in  the  first  round.  The  tourney 
runs  for  three  days  with  all  entries  play- 
ing each  day. 

After  the  game  with  Bradley  here, 
Duke  will  have  ten  home  games  left  on 
the  docket.  Among  the  leading  teams  to 
be  met  here  are  Pennsylvania,  N.  C. 
State,  Wake  Forest,  George  Washington, 
William  and  Mary,  Maryland,  South

deaths 


WILLIAM  BARRINGER  GREEN,  '01 
William  Barringer  Green,  '01,  retired 
merchant,  died  at  his  home,  236  South 
Main  Street,  Graham,  N.  C,  on  Novem- 
ber 6.  The  funeral  was  conducted  at  the 
Graham  Methodist  Church  and  interment 
was  in  Linwood  Cemetery. 

A  native  of  Chatham  County,  N.  C, 
Mr.  Green  went  to  Graham  in  1903  to  fill 
the  unexpired  term  of  his  brother  who 
died  while  serving  as  pastor  of  Graham 
Methodist  Church.  He  also  was  one  of 
the  founders  of  Green  and  McClure  Fur- 
niture Company  in  1907  and  remained 
with  the  firm  until  his  retirement  in 
April,  1944. 

In  addition  to  Mrs.  Green,  he  is  sur- 
vived by  one  daughter,  Mrs.  Wallace 
Bacon  of  Hillsboro,  three  grandchildren, 
and  two  sisters,  Mrs.  A.  T.  Lambeth  and 
Miss  Alice  Green  of  Sanford.  His  only 
son,  Lt.  William  N.  Green,  '43,  was  killed 
in  an  airplane  crash  in  Alaska  in  1947. 

ALONZO  GIBBONS  MOORE,  '05

ber 5,  1951,  in  Pasadena,  Calif.,  as  the 
result  of  a  cerebral  hemorrhage.  Inter- 
ment was  in  Forest  Lawn  Memorial  Park, 
Glendale,  Calif. 

Soon  after  Mr.  Moore  graduated  from 
Duke  "cum  laude''  in  1905,  he  went  to 
Arizona  where  he  married.  Shortly  after 
moving  to  California  he  became  auditor 
of  the  Mexican  National  Gas  Company 
and  went  to  Mexico  City  to  live.  With 
the  outbreak  of  the  Mexican  Revolution 
the  Moores  left  Mexico.  Mr.  Moore  then 
wTorked  with  Mexican  Petroleum.  Ltd.. 
and  was  sent  to  Rio  de  Janeiro  to  handle 
office  and  accounting  of  their  Brazilian 
subsidiary,  The  Caloric  Company.  He 
became  assistant  general  manager  of  the 
company    and    remained    in    Brazil    until 


1930.  After  returning  to  the  United 
States,  he  worked  with  the  United  States 
Government  Bureau  of  Internal  Revenue, 
retiring  in  1949. 

Mr.  Moore  is  survived  by  his  wife;  one 
daughter,  who  resides  in  Florida;  a  son,

Solomon's  Teniple 

(Continued  from  page  307) 
before  it  was  brought  thither:  so  that 
there  was  neither  hammer  nor  ax,  nor  any 
tool  of  iron  heard  in  the  house."  It  was, 
perhaps,  Dr.  Garber  says,  the  first  pre- 
fabricated building  in  the  world. 

The  Bible  also  says  that  much  of  the 
building,  or  at  least  the  columns  in  front, 
the  molten  sea,  and  many  of  the  orna- 
ments inside  were  made  from  "brass." 
Dr.  Garber  found  that  discoveries  had 
been  made  of  Solomon's  copper  mines  in 
Ezion-Geber,  proving  that  brass  in  that 
day  was  poorly  refined  copper  alloy 
which  could  be  burnished  until  its  smooth 
surfaces  shone. 

Many  seemingly  unexplainable  ques- 
tions arose,  such  as  what  kind  of  stone 
was  usedf  Where  did  it  come  from? 
What  size  were  the  blocks?  Did  cedars 
of  Lebanon  grow  large  enough  to  pro- 
duce beams  which  could  reach  from  wall 
to  wall?  What  color  was  the  wood? 
These  and  many  other  problems,  includ- 
ing the  type  of  roofing,  the  method  of 
door  hinging,  and  the  nature  of  the 
"winding  stairs,"  presented  themselves  to 
Dr.  Garber. 

The  finished  Temple  model  shows  three 
large  inner  chambers,  surrounded  by  other 
smaller  rooms  or  chambers.  The  doors 
leading  outside  reach  almost  to  the  roof, 
enabling  the  builders  to  carry  in  whole 
sections  of  ceiling  or  floor  already  pre- 
fabricated. In  front,  on  either  side  of 
the  entrance,  are  two  brass  pillars  named 
Jachim  and  Boaz  in  the  Bible.  On  the 
space  in  front  of  the  Temple  is  a  huge 
"molten  sea"  or  open  container  resting  on 
the  backs  of  bronze  oxen,  an  altar  for 
sacrifice.  The  model  itself  is  78  inches 
long,  45  inches  wide,  and  38  inches  high. 
Each  %  inch  represents  one  foot,  and  the 
scale  fits  exactly  with  the  measurements 
listed  in  the  Bible. 

Contained  within  Solomon's  Temple 
were  such  important  religious  relics  as 
the  Ark  of  the  Covenant  which  held  the 
two  tables  of  stone  which  Moses  had 
placed  there.  Dr.  Garber  has  attempted 
to  make  replicas  of  the  Ark  and  of  the 
other  furnishings  and  appointments  that 
were  inside  the  Temple. 

Solomon  himself  sat  in  judgment  in  the 
Temple;  it  was  there  he  settled  the  dis- 
pute of  two  women  over  a  child  they  each 
o'aimed.  It  was  no  wonder  that  the  shin- 
ing marble  and  brass  and  gold  building, 
puiieled  inside  with  cedar,  was  thought  so 
marvelous,  indeed  a  place  most  sacred  on 
earth. 

As  the  conclusion  of  the  brochure  pre- 


pared by  Mr.  Howland  states :  "The  Lord, 
God,  whom  'neither  the  heavens,  nor.  the 
heaven  of  heavens  can  contain'  did  not 
dwell  in  a  Temple  handmade  with  hands, 
nor  heeded  any  such  Temple,  but  in  re- 
sponse to  his  people's  prayer,  His  dwell- 
ing place,  and  had  said  of  Solomon's 
Temple  'My  name  shall  be  there.' "

find  out,  first  of  all,  whether  it  is  really 
too  secret  to  be  looked  at,  really  too  tech- 
nical   to    be    understood,    and    really    too 
awesome  to  be  contemplated. 

Anyone  who  has  done  this,  I  believe, 
has  found  that  although  a  lot  in  the  field 
of  atomic  energy  is  secret,  there  is  enough 
of  it  that  is  not  secret  to  permit  public 
understanding  of  the  basic  problems  in- 
volved. The  secrecy  wall  surrounds 
mainly  the  subject  of  how  we  make 
weapons.  There  have  been  more  than  a 
hundred  million  words  officially  pub- 
lished on  what  weapons  will  do,  how 
atomic  energy  can  be  used  in  peaceful 
pursuits,  how  it  can  be  controlled  inter- 
nationally, how  it  is  controlled  in  the 
United  States,  and  upon  what  basic  scien- 
tific facts  the  whole  structure  of  the 
atomic  energy  enterprise  is  built.  These 
are  the  things  that  people  can  know  if 
we  are  to  stop  cringing  before  the 
atom.  .  .  . 

If  we  look  at  atomic  energy  coolly  and 
analytically,  we  no  longer  see  a  fearsome, 
uncontrollable  force.  We  see  instead 
what  it  really  is — a  new  and  potentially 
highly  useful  source  of  energy.  In  its 
practical  aspects,  it  means : 

1.  Radioisotopes  for  better  health,  in- 
creased food  supplies,  new  industrial 
products  and  continued  scientific  advance- 
ment. 

2.  Power  to  drive  ships  and  airplanes 
and  to  light  the  cities  and  do  man's  work. 

3.  Weapons  for  the  defense  of  our  coun- 
try and  the  free  world.  .  .  . 

Here  at  Duke,  you  have  the  advantage 
of  being  more  familiar  with  the  atom 
than  most  people.  This  is  illustrated  by 
the  research  contracts  you  hold  and  by 
your  leadership  in  the  founding  and  man- 
agement of  the  Oak  Ridge  Institute  of 
Nuclear  Studies,  whose  board  of  directors 
is  now  so  ably  headed  by  Dr.  Paul  M. 
Gross.  It  devolves  upon  you,  then,  per- 
haps more  than  upon  many  other  institu- 
tions, to  think  on  these  things  and  to  do 
your  part  in  convincing  mankind  that 
the  atom  is  not  something  to  fear,  but 
that  it  is  something  to  understand — and 
thus  to  master.

ladino  pasture  are  all  grown  on  Gold 
Leaf  Farm.  The  farm  is  now  a  three- 
family  one,  for  Charles  and  Florence 
built  a  modern  ranch  type  house  near 
their  parents.  Charles  is  serving  in  the 
Army  again,  but  expects  to  be  out  soon. 
They  have  a  son,  Charles,  Jr.,  born  July 
14,  1951.  Braxton  lives  in  a  third  house. 
Sidney  and  Spruill  also  live  at  Gold  Leaf 
Farm.  One  son,  Mark,  a  Naval  aviator, 
was  killed  during  World  War  II. 

About  700  acres,  350  open  and  the  rest 
woodland,  comprise  the  farm.  Besides 
the  Bunn  family,  there  are  a  few  happy 
and  satisfied  sharecroppers  who  have  lived 
on  the  farm  for  many  years. 

The  Bunn  family,  in  spite  of  its  in- 
tensified farm  work,  seems  to  find  plenty 
of  time  to  take  part  in  community  affairs. 
Mrs.  Bunn  is  an  accomplished  pianist, 
though  she  says  she  does  most  of  her 
playing  on  the  kitchen  range.  And  for 
the  men  there  is  always  the  grand  sport 
of  hunting.  One  look  at  this  Master 
Farm  Family  is  enough  to  prove  they 
have  most  certainly  deserved  the  award 
they  received.

Lhis  nimble-minded  nutcracker  almost  tumbled  for  those 
tricky  cigarette  mildness  tests.  But  he  worked  himself 
out  of  a  tight  spot  when  he  suddenly  realized  that  cigarette 
mildness  just  can't  be  judged  by  a  mere  puff  or  one  single  sniff. 
Smokers  everywhere  have  reached  this  conclusion — there's  just 
one  real  way  to  prove  the  flavor  and  mildness  of  a  cigarette. 

It's  the  sensible  test the  30-Day  Camel  Mildness  Test,  which 

simply  asks  you  to  try  Camels  as  your  steady  smoke — on  a 
pack-after-pack,  day-after-day  basis.  No  snap  judgments.  Once 
you've  enjoyed  Camels  for  30  days  in  your  "T-Zone" 
(T  for  Throat,  T  for  Taste) ,  you'll  see  why  . . . 

After  all  the  Mildness  Tests...
