T HE Senate is probably the most important student organization on the campus. It supervises all student elections, college dances, and other activities, and takes
charge whenever problems concerning the welfare of the student body present themselves. In addition, it sponsors Senate dances at intervals during the school year .
E lections to the Senate are held in the spring, and juniors elected at this time serve , without voting power, for the rest of the term, so that th ey will be acquainted with their duties, which begin in the fall of their senio r yea r. The president of the Senate is also
president of the student body. 1 ) 4-

SENIOR HONORARY SOCIETY

T HE M edusa, senior honor society, election to which is generally co nsidered as the hig hest honor attainable at Trinity, became more exclusive than fo rmerly, when
only three new men of the class of thirty-eight were selected at the awe-inspiring tapping ceremony held in view of the student body at the Bishop's statue, on the evening of M ay 2 I.
With no definite prog ram, the M edusa lends a hand wherever it can, as emergency situations may arise from time to time. This past year, backed · by the power of the Senate, they inaug urated an anti-noise program to squelch overly boisterous dormitories enlivened by a continuous uproar of radios, phonographs, pianos, and various other noisemaking devices, as well as voices well lubricated by bee r , milk, and other beverages. The Medusa and Senate were particularly specifi c as to the particular nuisances in their campaign .

E JOYING its most prosperous year since its beginning in I93I, the Commons Club
has established itself as a more defin itely organize<! body this past season. Factors
ir. this better organization have been an increased membership, the inauguration of a
fo rmal initiation ceremony, the codifi cation of the by-laws of the club, and the begin
ning of a movement towards procuring a club house .
A thletically, the club maintains its usual active standing und er Clem M otten,
intramural manager; while socially, the annual banquet at the end of May, the an
nual F aculty T ea during the Sophomore H op week-end, and the Christmas party proved
the standout events.
Prominent among the organization's other activities were the presentation of the
club fl ag to the Chapel of Perfect Friendship, and the annual Commons Club Chapel
service. Alexander H amilton, designer of the flag, presented it with suitable ceremony
on D ecember ninth, when it was hung with the fraternity fl ags, and also conducted the
Chapel Service on D ecember thirteenth, the birthday of T ed W oodbury, late vice
presid ent of the Commons Club.
A mong the speakers to address the club during the season were Professors Iaylor,
Troxell , Berger, Rogers, Mr. Brainard of the Trustees, and Clem Motten, w ho spoke
on his European trip.
The Commons Club, which occupies a distinctive place on the campus, is an inde
pendently organized social group, and still being non-fraternal, it helps fill the wide
gap between the neutral body and fraternities.

THE TRIPOD
JANUARY found the Tripod with all of its established policies passing into the able
hands of L. M oray A rmstrong, Clem M otten, and William G orman the new edi
tors.
Still exerting their g reatest efforts towards making the T ripod a newspaper rather
than an echo of the city dailies, the new editors have continued to direct their attention
to g uest speakers, college policies and plans, and facts pertinent to the men and the work
they are doing at T r inity in their respective fie lds of resea rch. R eportorially, the paper
has, during the past season, disca rded much of its co nventiona_l newspaper venee r, and
has made itself a more personal vehicle, generally close r to the heart of the campus.
L arge r alumni issues and editorials by g uest alumni editors are among the new
innova tions of the new regime, and to date several successful alumni issues have been
run, many containing as many as ten pag_es . But despite the wealth of news in these
alumni editions, the season has been unfortunately marred by several issue padded to
required size often w ith trit~ and irrelevant material. This failure of the boards to gather
enough news or interesting fea ture material is the only obvious fault of the paper, that
has not as yet been entirely rectified .
Improved columns and theatre department, a definite trend towards better edu
cation of the undergraduate body in administrative rules and regulations, plus a less
stern editorial tone, predominate as the more sig nifi ca nt of the management's policies.

T HE Ivy> one of Trinity's oldest organizations, has, since I913> been attempting to give a reliable and complete yearly history of college activities and happenings
at Trinity. For many yea rs prior to this date, the book appeared as a stereotyped annual, with little to explain the activities of the organizations pictured therein. In recent years, however, the Ivy has bee n able, by combining resumes with pictures, to g ive a more lasting account of college life. Novelty of arrangement, and of pictorial effects has also fi gu red prominently in its recent development.

T HE Glee Club's fifth year under Mr. Clarence ~Tatters' direction has been a com
pletely gratifying one. Concerts have been many and uniformly good, and a stand
ard of singing has been set which is indeed enviable.
The seaso n opened with a concert at the H artford R etreat on D ecember I 7. Piano
duos were played by Charles D. Walker and Maurice Tulin, and violo ncello solos by
Frank A. H agarty were included on the program, which was well received. Informal
·dancing followed the concert.
On February r6 the Club sang a fifteen minute program over Station WDRC, to
arouse interest in an Inter-Collegiate Glee Club F estival which was held at Bushnell
Memorial on February 26 . Twenty-six N ew England glee clubs took part in what
proved to be a very successful conce rt.
The Club went to ew York on March I 3 to sing an half-hour program over
Station \VOR. Dan Hanson sang a group of baritone solos between groups.
On April 9 the club sang a joint concert with the Glee Club of St. Margaret's
School in \Vaterbury . Dinner preceded the concert, and very enjoyable dancing fol
lowed. The program included cello solos by Frank A. H agarty, and the clubs were
assisted by Gregory McKee, who played the trumpet descants which are a part of Mr.
Watters' arrangement of "A Mighty Fortress is Our G od ." That both Clubs were at
their best was proved by the enthusiasm of the audience and by the atmosphere of hap
piness which prevailed.
On April I 3 the Club gave a joint concert with the H artford YWCA Glee Club
in the Chemistry Laboratory. D ancing followed in the dining hall. On April I 6 the
Club made its annual trip to the Edgewood P ark Junior College, and on May 7 the
final appearance of the Club was in a joint concert with the Club of St. J o eph's
College.

T HE Political Science Club is one of the largest organizations on the campu·s. The
Club endeavors to keep abreast of political thought of the day, sponsoring lecture
and informal talks by various authorities on vital subjects.
L ast fall Robert Byrnes, political commentator of the " H artford Courant,"
addre sed the Club on the presidential issue, w hich was paramount at that particular
time. Mr. Byrnes is particularly interested in the Club and its work.
A. little later Prof. R aymond Cuningham of the history department spoke on the
situation in Spain, outlining Spain's history, and showing why Spain is going through a
civil war at this time.
A t the next meeting Prof. N aylor gave a most interesting talk on the political
r arties in France at the present time. Dr. Naylor exhibited interesting papers published
by the various factions, of which there are many. H enry Fuller, who toured Europe
last summer, spending some time in Russia, described conditions as he found them, giving
a rather discouraging picture of Russia as it exists today.
Just before the Christmas vacation, P ro f. Humphrey in vited the members of the
Club and of Pi G amma Mu to attend an informal meeting at his home. Anson T.
M cCook was the principal speaker, and other speakers included Clement H yde and
Profs. Kleene and Humphrey. F rank A . H aga rty played two violoncello solos, with
l\1rs. Humphrey accompanying. Refreshments were se rved befo re the meeting broke up.
Professor Humphrey is faculty advise r of the Club.

T HE Intramural Athletic Council consists of representatives chosen by the fraternities, and the Commons Club, and neutrals selected by Coach J oe Clarke who
usually manage one sport fo r their particular team. Last season the intramural athletic program was markedly improved when the
council dropped Cross-Country as too strenuo us and replaced this sport with water baseball which has, in its first season here, attracted over three times the number of men wh9 used to run Cross-Country.
L ast year Alpha T au Kappa and Sigma ru tied for the Alumni Trophy, while Sigma u retired the Cross-Country cup. This yea r N eutral Gold captured the new L yman O gilby water baseball cup.

W ITH public interest in them reaching new lows, and with the possibility of their
complete financial failure attaining new heig hts, a literal resurrection occurred
within the ranks of the Trinity J esters. With all departments springing into vibrant
action, the J esters set out to return their organization to its rightful place of prominence on the Trinity campus.
Last Spring 's original musical, "Under Y our H at," by Bill elson, '3 7, resulted.
The I vy hasn't enough high powered superlatives at it command to fully describe the
success of that show. \Vith a theme built around Trinity, elaborate scenery, including
self reversing log cabins by stage manage r Frank Smith, and a gorgeously gowned chorus
of dancing bruisers, the production was accl~imed by packed Avery houses at each of its performances.
Continuing this year, the group has already produced two successes in which
genuine girls were used for the second time in J ester history, for the feminine roles;
a m oderately successful "Seven K eys to Bald pate," and two truly remarkable per
formances of the recent hit " D eath T akes a H oliday," in which Sam Benjamin's extra
ordinary portrayal of D eath and Arlene J ohnson's equally effective playing of G razia
opposite him were of professional calibre. Playing no little pa rt in the success of this latter
production was the wo rk of Mr. D on Sturges, the di1~ector w hose affil iation with the
J esters, it is hoped, will extend through many more plays.
The appea rance of an awakened publicity department further marked the season which will close with another musical.

JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE F RESH from an attack of examitis, Trin 's social lions rode in on the
crest of depression into the towers of joys and pleasures of the
Junior Prom W eek-End.
A lpha Chi Rho offi cially opened fes tivities on Thursday night,
February fourth , with its an nual dance in Cook. Bud W elsh's ace
musicmakers provided the music for this excellent eye-opener. -
The next evening, promptly at ten, D on Fabens and his band,
from Boston's Back Bay, swung into the first num ber of the big occa
sion. Willys R. P eterson and his committee had done their work well.
Alumni H all was decked in traditional settings ( isn' t it always 1) .
" F estooned glory" was what the T ripod called it. The big affair
was under way at last-- the devil with the Senate, budget, and what
have yo u.-
F abens did himself proud, while the three Burnett sisters warbled
with the best of them. Miss E leanor Brink accompanied Chairman
P eterson to struggle through the Grand March. Committee mem
bers and the rest followed in the usual lackadaisical fashion.
The T ripod tried another new wrinkle-what's it coming to,
anyway 1 At any rate, the boys had fun, and they did score a beat
on something or other. A t least, all the girls proved that they knew
how to write.
The small crowd stuck to the end and thoroug hly en joyed them
selves. M erriment, heightened or otherwise , was the watchword .
And sadly enough, it was over all too soon, a successful prom (show
ing the usual "red") .
Psi Upsilon and D elta Phi obliged with house parties fo r the week
encl. D elta Phi and Sigma u brig htened things with house dances
on Saturday nig ht, and the one last flin g before settling down to the
grind once more was over. All in all, all was well.

vsT fall the Athenae um inaugurated a new policy. P reviously the club had been
strictly a debating society, but a new con titution was drawn up, and the club
became a discussioJl club, making it possible fo r all the members to take part in the meet
ings. M eetings are held on alternate M ondays, at which time a particular topic is chosen
fo r discussion. Two club mem bers discuss the question, giving arguments for and against
it. The meeting is then thrown open to all present, and the two speakers must defend
their arg uments against the assa ults of the audience.
Audiences at the meetings have been small, but the discussions have always been
heated. T opics of contemporary interest are always chosen. Some of the topics have
been: "Landon vs. R oosevelt," "Nazism," "Sit-down Strikes," "The Supreme Court,"
" The College Budget," and "Problems at Trinity."
L ast fall the Athenae um sent three delegates to a conference held in ew Haven
by the ational Y outh Congress . They were : J ames W eir, J ohn Flynn, and Clement
M otten. The Club afterwards decided not to affiliate itself with the Congress.
At present, J ohn Flynn holds the H oward K ey, which is awarded annually to the
junior who has rendered the most service to the club during the time in which he has
been a member.
The four keymen at present are : ] oh-11 Flynn, J ames C arty, Kingsley F rench, and
Dudley Clapp. K eymen are elected each spring.

T HE ten m en who showed, by M arch of their Sophomore year, the greatest possibilities of assuming prominent places in other than purely academic fi elds at Trinity
w ere given recognition for their contributions to college activities by election to the Sophomore Dining Club. Entirely honorary and informal, the original purpose of the organization was to entertain TrTinity guests, especially visiting athletic teams.
One or two meetings a yea r and an annual dinner, usually at the H eublein, constitute the other activities of the club, the members of which can be identifi ed by their blue caps and w atch charms.

CHEMISTRY AUDITORIUM T HE new Chemistry Laboratory is not only fulfilling a need of Trinity's large
Chemistry D epartment, but is rendering disting uished service to the college as a
whole, with its auditorium which seats the entire college body.
The auditorium has facilities for moving pictures, blackboards and technical
demonstration equipment, and a large, movable stage . With the help of such varied
possibilities, many lectures and demonstrations have been given. The stage was used
for the first time in a real "home" concert by the Trinity College Glee Club assisted by
the Y. W . C. A. Glee Club on April 13, 1937·
P ro f. Fiese r of Harvard University lectu red before an audience of the H artfo rd
M edical Society, and the Trinity faculty and science students on chemistry in cancer
research, in which he is a leading fi gure. A visitor from E ngland, Prof. Bond, of the
University of L ondon, spoke on the trends of the modern world in economics. Dr.
D orizas, lecturer, professor, traveler, and w restler, after giving a wrestling exhibition
in the afternoon, explained the crisis in Spain , showing movies of the actual fi ghting in
the grim, civil war. Prof. Krieble, the head of our chemistry department, recently lec

To the anonymous donor, President O gilby, Professo r Krieble, and Professo r
Smith, the college body expresses its since re gratitud e.
