Crayon-on-cloth mural depicting first meeting of The Thirteen at the Olmstead House

Three Anniversaries
by H oward D. W illiams ’30, University Archivist
1959 marks three signifi
cant anniversaries for Colgate Uni
versity—the 140th of our first charter,
and of the decision to locate in Hamilton,
and the 40th of the founding of the
Alumni Corporation. In the hustle and
bustle of beginning another academic
year and a football schedule under a new
coach, we may well pause to think back
to these momentous events.
Hardly had the Thirteen Men, meet
ing at Deacon Jonathan Olmstead’s on
September 24, 1817, completed their
founding of the Baptist Education Society
of the State of New York when some of
them took steps to get a charter from the
State Legislature. The Society, the agency
which established and, to 1846, main
tained the institution fated to become
Colgate University, at first had no legal
standing. Hence the necessity for incor
poration to enable it to acquire, hold and
dispose of real estate and other property
which might be hopefully expected from
generous donors.
The seemingly routine procedure for
getting favorable legislation has elements
of drama and suspense which have been
all but forgotten. The chief protagonists
were Deacon Ebenezer Wakely of Pitcher,
Assemblyman from Chenango County,
and his colleague, General Erastus Root
of Delhi, Delaware County. Wakely, one

he year

of the pioneer settlers of his community,
a judge and a supervisor, a Baptist leader,
and a staunch friend of the infant Society,
presented its petition for a charter and
served as chairman of the special com
mittee of the Assembly appointed to rec
ommend appropriate action. Root, a
Dartmouth alumnus, was a lawyer and
had already served three terms in Con
gress. A gigantic and uncouth man,
somewhat dissipated, logical, eloquent,
keen-witted and bitingly sarcastic, he
could be a dreaded opponent or a wel
come ally, especially since he had great
influence as a leader of the majority po
litical party.
Deacon Wakely, by committee request,
drew up the charter bill and presented
it to the Assembly, where it had the
routine first and second readings and was
referred to the Committee of the Whole.
On hearing repeatedly that the General
had sworn that the measure should be de
feated, the Deacon called on him one
evening to attempt to win him over.
Finding him adamant in his conviction
that religious organizations had no need
for charters, Wakely asserted that the bill
would pass and left.
The next morning when the Assembly
met as the Committee of the Whole, the
Speaker asked Root to take the chair
which meant that, if he accepted, he

would be eliminated from debate. To
Wakely’s astonishment and relief, the
General, after a slight hesitation, went
forward to preside. As the Deacon ex
plained and defended the bill, he noted
Root’s scowls, but when it came up for
action it passed without opposition. At
the third reading, the General contented
himself with voting in the negative and
the charter was accepted by a vote of 62
to 35. Wakely wrote years later that he
never knew whether the Speaker called
Root to the chair by design or a watchful
providence intervened. The Senate, after
careful discussion, passed the bill and it
became law on March 5, 1819.
Two provisions of the charter are
worthy of note. One prohibited the So
ciety from making any rule or regulation
"affecting the rights of conscience.” This
guarantee of moral and intellectual free
dom President Roosevelt reminded us of
in his Charter Day letter in 1944. The
second limited the Society’s property to
an amount whose annual income should
not exceed $5,000. How times have
changed! In 1842 this restriction was
raised to $10,000.
The decision to locate the Sock
school in Hamilton came only after two
successive Trustee committees had thor
oughly investigated the possibilities of
seven Central New York villages—El-

bridge, Throopsville, Fabius, Sangerfield, Peterboro, Skaneateles and Hamil
ton. They considered especially climate
soil, accessibility, economic conditions
and the state and prospects of the local
Baptist Church in each.
Finally, on November 3, 1819, at
Peterboro, the Board chose Hamilton,
whose residents agreed to provide tem
porary quarters by the following May, a
permanent building costing $3,500
within four years, and $2,500 for stu
dent board to be paid in five
equal annual installments. The tem
porary quarters were a third story con
structed over the Hamilton Academy
which stood on the southwest corner of
Broad and West Pleasant Streets. The
permanent building, 36 by 64 feet, a
three story stone edifice which resem
bled the later West Hall and stood on
the east side of the first block of Ham
ilton Street, was ready in 1823.
Scarcely had the institution begun pro
ducing graduates when some of them and
other supporters formed a Society of
Alumni and Friends in 1825. Though
this group and its successors were useful
in channeling funds and students to Alma
Mater, it was not until October 10, 1919,
that a genuinely efficient mechanism
came into being, the Colgate Alumni
Corporation. As part of the Centennial
Celebration then in progress and with the
leadership of George W. Cobb ’94,
Raymond E. Brooks ’06 and others, Col
gate men at a dinner in a big tent set
up between the Ad Building and the
present Faculty Club enthusiastically
launched the new organization. Its found
ers saw it as a means for developing an
active and enduring alumni interest in
the University’s affairs. The forty years
since the Centennial abundantly show the
organization’s effectiveness in realizing
these aims.
Vision and confidence in the future of
this University characterized the men who
set up these three milestones 140 and 40
years ago and history had justified what
they did. We, as beneficiaries, now have
our obligations that our successors in their
time come into a Colgate heritage undi
minished in strength and value.

By the 1850's, when this picture w as made,
the institution had become Madison University
and w as recovering from a bitter controversy
which nearly wracked it to pieces over an
attempt to remove it to Rochester. East Hall,
on the left, w as erected in 1834, partly by
student labor, and like West, from stone from
the campus quarry. The little building to the
right w as called the "Cottage Edifice" and
served variously as boarding hall and steward's
quarters and for classrooms.

The cramped auditorium in West Hall led to the
construction of the Hall of Alumni and Friends,
right in picture at right, in the early 1860's;
its cornerstone carries the proud inscription
"Quod conamur perficimus," (We complete what
we attempt). The top floor contained a large
auditorium used for Commencement and other
public occasions until about 1900.

Below, Madison changed its name to Colgate
University in 1890. Few know that the move not
only did not have the endorsem*nt of the Col
gate family but that a militant minority led
by Dr. P. B. Spear vigorously opposed it on
the grounds that tossing tradition to the winds
was "uncalled for, hazardous and unwise"

FOR OCTOBER, 1959

Presenting: the Class of ’63
Sixty per cent ranked in upper quarter;
academic potential above national average;
class won 777 varsity athletic awards
by R obert B. Shirley ’44, Director of Admissions
everal years ago, in the Alumni
News, Dean William F. Griffith ’33
wrote:
"Colgate continues to believe that its
province is the 'Whole Man.’ In the
selection of an entering class, evidence of
character and scholastic competence is the
most important factor, but not the only
consideration. Attention is also given to
the candidate’s record of citizenship in
his high school and community, to the
nature and extent of his participation in
activities (athletic and non-athletic); to
his personality, health and his interest in
an education in general, and at Colgate in
particular.”
In the belief that this is a sound phi
losophy, special efforts were made to ad
here to these principles in the selection
of the Class of 1963, potentially a great
class.

Citizenship and character
attested by alumni
Realizing that alumni should be aware
not only of admissions policy, but also
of the effectiveness of its application, we
are pleased to present the Class of 1963,
a group of men whose records of citizen
ship and character have been attested by
hundreds of alumni.
The record of academic achievement
compiled by members of ’63 is admirable,
60 per cent of them ranking in the upper
25 per cent of their classes at graduation
and 90 per cent having placed them
selves in the upper half of their classes at
the entire secondary level. More than
200 received academic honors at gradua
tion. Their academic potential, as de
4

termined by tests of the College En
trance Examination Board, is well above
the national average.
This is a fine record, but it represents
only one element of the admissions cri
teria. Elected offices of responsibility in
school government were held by 236
members of the class, while 234 of them
were designated class officers.
Interscholastic varsity athletic awards
won by members of the Class of 1963
number 777. Letters in football were
awarded to 136; in baseball, to 208; in
basketball, 87; in track and cross-coun
try, 108; in hockey, 21; in golf, 19; in
swimming and wrestling, 14; in lacrosse,
8; and many in other sports.
Significant participation by two-thirds
of i the members of the class has been
registered in publications, musical organi
zations, community service groups, and
religious organizations. A third or more
of the group have participated effective
ly and with merit in the Boy Scouts of
America, debating and dramatics. A va
riety of other significant activities is rep
resented by more than half the class.
Relatives of Colgate alumni in the
freshman class include 46 fathers, 24
brothers, 24 cousins, 22 uncles, and two
grandfathers, with a total of 123 of the
members of the class being related to
Colgate alumni.
Citizens from half of the states in the
Union are represented, as well as sev
eral from foreign countries. Nearly twothirds of the freshmen graduated from
public high schools, and the remaining
third terminated their secondary educa
tion at independent schools.
One hundred and twenty-six freshmen,
approximately one-third of the class,

were granted scholarships. Of this group,

Alumni help invaluable
in selecting class
No small responsibility for the crea
tion of this class lies with alumni. In
deed, without the assistance of Alumni
Student Selection Chairmen and their
committee members, the work of the Of
fice of Admissions would be seriously
handicapped. We earnestly seek to
strengthen the relationship between this
office and the Alumni Committees.
Because of seriously increasing de

Interviewing the
World’s top Brass
In 100 days “Bill” Stringer 931
visits twenty-six countries and meets
face-to-face with twenty-one
presidents or prime ministers

by TFilliam H. Stringer ’31
OF Americans are travel
ling here and there on this criss
crossed globe of ours. A Colgate ex
change student was living in Moscow
last winter. But not everyone undertakes
to circumnavigate the globe in 100 days,
fly on 24 airlines, visit 26 countries, and
interview 21 presidents or prime minis
ters.
That was the assignment handed The
Christian Science Monitor's chief photog
rapher and me in late 1958. Let me try
to sort out a few impressions:
First of all, the days of hardship travel
are over. One doesn’t have to make
like Stanley in search of Dr. Livingston.
You may be flying over the rugged
mountains of Burma or the green carpet
of Africa’s rain forests. But aloft a friendly stewardess is serving you an edible
lunch on a plastic tray. And like as not
you’re flying a smooth Viscount, if not
a Boeing jet 707 — not the beat-up little
DC-3 of former years.
When you touch down at Rangoon, or
Delhi, or Djakarta, of course, you may
undertake to travel up-country by jeep
and leave air-conditioned hotels far be-

"Bill" Stringer '31 and his photographer strolling before the Kremlin in
typical Hamilton weather

hind. I’m just saying that the amen
ities have crept into tourism, even in
Asia-Africa.
But let me hastily add that no one has
succeeded in simplifying customs pro
cedure, particularly in countries jealous of
their new rights and sharply security-con
scious. What vast variety (and monot
ony) mankind has devised for checking
passports and visas, inspecting baggage
and ascertaining how many rubles, rupees,
or Egyptian pounds one is carrying in, or
out, of the country. Significantly Mos
cow inspects one’s papers, clippings and
notebooks far more thoroughly than the
clothing one carries. Probably checking on
subversive literature!
A second observation is that it wasn’t
easy to nail down 21 interviews with top
personages and locate them precisely and
in geographic order on a three-month
travel calendar. Embassies in Washing
ton might transmit homeward urgent ap
proval for the Monitor mission. But when
I arrived in some capitals, a month later,
the interview still wasn’t set up. And
though usually the greatest goodwill was
displayed, like as not the interview was

granted on the last morning of the last
day.
W e had our little adventures. In
Djakarta Mr. Converse and I interviewed
President Sukarno at the airport as he
was about to leave for a rest holiday in
Bali. He gave personal permission for
photographs. But after his plane had
departed, an airport security guard want
ed to confiscate all of Mr. Converse’s
film, fearing that the airport itself—a
forbidden subject, with a lot of Soviet
(Continued on next page)

Bill Stringer '31 is Washington Bureau
Chief for the CHRISTIAN SCIEN CE M ONI
TOR. Last winter he and a photographer
traveled 30,000 miles interviewing the
leading political figure in each of twentyfive nations. He asked two basic ques
tions: W hat is your country's essential
individual role in world affairs? What is
the most encouraging domestic develop
ment now underway in your country?

following article w as written especially

jet fighters parked at one end—might
have been snapped.
Only a personal trip to the airport by
a well-regarded and persuasive U. S. mili
tary attaché preserved the film for pos
terity— and for President Sukarno.

Some E pisodes P leasant

But there were other highly pleasant
episodes: The small Egyptian schoolboy
standing in his classroom to read a "wel
come to Americans” which he himself
had composed in English; the helpfulness
of other newsmen all along the way; the
intelligence of an Intourist girl at Mos
cow in rescuing a piece of luggage that
went astray; the flight from Moscow to
Copenhagen on a new Soviet jet—the
TU 104, swept wings outside and midVictorian décor inside, seat-belt signs in
Russian and English, and lunch served
of caviar, boiled chicken, rice and vodka
for those who wanted it.
I think everyone takes a deep breath
of freedom when he emerges from be
hind the Iron Curtain. It is not merely
the larger supplies of consumer goods
in the West (visible right at the Copen
hagen Airport). It is the feeling that
one has left a realm where the brooding,
all-powerful state can be almost mental
ly weighed and felt.
Of course the atmosphere in Moscow
and Warsaw is much lighter than in the
grim Stalin era, and there is no shadow
ing by the secret police. Still, one knows
that the state rules supreme, that the
whim of the individual is frowned upon,
that anybody’s mail can be opened. Mr.
Converse had greater freedom in photo
graphing at Moscow than in some Asian
nations: The only time a policeman blew
his whistle on him was when he snapped
the main gate of the Kremlin. Still, you
sense the drab atmosphere (especially in
winter) and realize how long it will take
for these people to win through to full
"freedom for the individual.”
Yet one of my great impressions was
how fast mankind—in the underdevel
oped nations— is awakening to demand
better living standards, more respect for
6

the individual, and a larger place in
the sun.
Pick up any newspaper in Asia, the
Middle East or Africa and you immedi
ately see these nations engaged in the
business of moving into the twentieth
century. Prime Ministers visit back and
forth and cement friendship pacts. Cul
tural delegations are en route somewhere.
Capital development programs are an
nounced—a new harbor here, a hydro
electric dam there. Economic missions—
from Japan and the West—visit the new
countries to plan joint programs.
Another basic observation concerns
what we might call the "population
bomb.” Even a little foreign aid lowers
the mortality rate in any country; usually
the birth rate keeps right on. The re
sult: Bulging populations in Java, Egypt,
India et al—and what’s to be done about
them? Japan has begun population limi
tation, and is keeping its boat on even
keel in rough economic waters. But in
some other countries, all the foreign aid
and industrialization and dam-building is
barely enabling grain-growing and indus
try and development to keep pace with
the burgeoning population. How is this
one to be solved?

U. S. P olicies M uch I mproved
A more hopeful observation: Obviously
the United States and its policies are
much better regarded among the new
nations today than was the case a few
years ago. Washington no longer equates
neutrality with immorality. W e are send
ing out better foreign service personnel
and ambassadors, generally speaking—
and none of the caricatures penned in
"The Ugly American.” Our diplomats
are performing well these days in India,
Burma, Japan, Indonesia and many other
lands. Our foreign aid programs are
doing pretty well.
Simultaneously the Communists have
lost ground heavily, thanks to Red
China’s behavior in Tibet, its launching
of the hideous communes system, and its
incursions against India’s northern fron
tier. In the Middle East, Marshal Tito

has given Egypt’s President Nasser some
potent advice about how to deal with the I
Kremlin; after all, Tito has had experi- j
ence! In Indonesia, high officials will
quietly admit now that the U. S. Seventh
Fleet protects their "freedom to be neu- !
tral.”

I found it a considerable privilege to ;
meet and talk with Prime Minister Mac- j

Kishi, Chiang Kai-Shek, Sukarno, Nehru,
Nasser, Ben Gurion, Nkrumah and the
rest. Not one of them emerged as less i

what he considered his country’s best in- i

Admittedly a few of the leaders I in- !

hear their hopes and aspirations, you ac- f

1959 Careers Conference. Selected from
the professions, the arts and business,
the men will serve as consultants in a
program designed to give career guidance
and orientation to Colgate undergradu
ates.
The conference will be patterned after
the one held in March, 1958, which met
with great enthusiasm by consultants
and undergraduates alike. According to
present plans, it will open with a keynote
address in the Chapel on Friday morning,
November 20. Panel sessions featuring
three experts and a student chairman in
each area will follow a planning lunch
eon. Consultants will dine in the
evening at the various student living units
in order to afford undergraduates oppor
tunity to discuss careers informally.
On Saturday morning panel discussions
will continue, each covering a different
vocational area. Whereas last year the
Saturday luncheon concluded the Confer
ence, this year the program may be car
ried on into the afternoon.
Under the supervision of the Offices
of Public Information and Placement,
Bruce Barth ’60 of Omaha, Neb., will
serve as Student Director of the Confer
ence. In addition to alumni, Trustees
and friends of the University and par
ents of undergraduates will be invited to
serve as consultants.

Thomas M. Iiams,
Librarian, Dies at 61
Came to Colgate in
1931 from Huntington
Library in California
was shock
ed and saddened by word of the
sudden death, on August 22, of Thomas
M. Iiams, University Librarian since 1939Recuperating in a Cooperstown hospital
from what was generally believed to be
a mild heart attack, he had returned home
only a week before he was fatally stricken.
He was sixty-one years old.
A native of Pasadena, California, Mr.
Iiams held degrees from U.C.L.A. and
the University of Chicago. He came to
Colgate from the Huntington Library at
San Marino, where he had been serving
under Dr. Leslie E. Bliss ’l l , to succeed
Dr. Charles W. Spencer during President
Cutten’s administration.
He was an
acknowledged authority on methods of
preserving rare books and manuscripts
and had written two books on the sub
ject. Taking up where Dr. Spencer had
left off in his efforts to indoctrinate the
imperative need for new facilities, Mr.
Iiams was largely responsible for the plans
and specifications of the new library
building. On the occasion of the dedica
tion ceremonies last April he thanked
everyone who had shared in his "dream
come true” and called it "the happiest
day of my life.” Mr. Iiams had also been
highly successful in encouraging gifts of
rare books and manuscripts toward the
University collection.
In an excellent article he wrote for the
dedication booklet, entitled "A Building
with a Philosophy,’’ Mr. Iiams was expres
sing his own philosophy of the signifi
cance of a library to a college: "The de
sign*. furnishings, service and special
facilities of the new library emphasize its
role as the cultural center of the Universi

ing to excite the intellectual curiosity of
its students. Moreover, the new library
hopefully makes the habit of reading so
attractive that more and more of our stu
dents will find in the collection and use
of books a lifelong satisfaction.”
In addition to a number of professional
affiliations, including service as a con
sultant to the National Archives, Mr.
Iiams belonged to Sigma Zeta (now Zeta
Psi) at U.C.L.A., Rounce and Coffin of
Los Angeles and was an honorary mem
ber of Phi Kappa Tau. He had been a
member of the Hamilton Club for many
years and had served as its president.
Many friends of Mr. Iiams, learning of
his passing too late to send a floral trib
ute, have sent contributions to the Library
Fund in his memory.
He is survived by his wife, Dorothy
Wents Iiams of Hamilton, and a son,
Thomas M. Iiams, Jr. ’50, an instructor
at Queens College, New York City. Fol

Young Man With a Mission
When he was in the sixth grade Mike Corwin 959
knew exactly what he wanted to be
a little boy in the
sixth grade at Brooklyn Friends
School answered the inevitable assign
ment "W hat do you want to be when
you grow up?” by writing a paper en
titled: "I want to be a harness horse
driver.”
Two years ago, a sophom*ore at Colgate
wrote a twenty-three-page paper for Core
22 entitled "W hat is wrong with Com
missioner Monaghan?”
On June 8 the little boy from Mattituck became an alumnus of Colgate and
the very next day drove Dinsmore Han
over in a race at Vernon Downs.* He is
not only one of a tiny fraction of drivers
in the Country who holds a college de
gree, but he is certainly attached to one
of the most implausibly aristocratic
"handles” in his profession: Richard
Skidmore Corwin, Jr., Choate ’55, Col
gate ’59.
As if such a remarkable record of per
sistence to an ideal did not prove it,
"Mike” Corwin is a young man with a
mission. From the day in 1949 that his
grandfather, who had been injured
training jumpers, bought his first trot
ter on advice of his doctor to develop a
new hobby, Mike Corwin has been dedi
cated to the proposition that the life of a
trainer-driver was to be desired yea, even
above fine jewels. Every Christmas and
spring recess from high school and later
from Choate, he trotted off in a cloud
of dust for Pinehurst to work with his
grandfather’s horses; every summer he
followed the circuit. In 1951, age four
teen, he was allowed to handle his first
horse. They call it "walking hots,” grad
ually cooling out a horse after the

en years ago

race (an occupation recommended strict
ly for those who love horses almost as
much as wom en).
At nineteen, Mike got his license. Now
you don’t accomplish this distinction sim
ply by applying to the U. S. Trotting As
sociation, or by paying over a fee to the
Racing Commission. You achieve it only
when six veteran licensed drivers vouch
for your competence by expressing their
willingness to have you drive against
them in a race.
“T his is the D ay ”

For most aspiring young novices this
is "the day.” Now all you need is a
break from the trainer (willing to “give”
you a horse), a good dose of self-confi
dence and a pat on the head from Lady
Luck and "you’re off.” Not so for Mike
Corwin.
His trainer, Mr. A1 Jones, happened
to be a man with a mission too. He made
up his mind early that license or not,
young Mike wouldn’t drive a single horse
in a single race until he successfully sur

mounted obstacle No. 2: Graduation from
College. "The day I see your Colgate
diploma,” he is understood to have said,
"you get to drive your first race.” Mike
received his diploma, with a concentration
in Economics, on Monday, June 8, and
Mr. Jones kept his word by letting him
drive Dinsmore Hanover under the lights
at Vernon Downs the following evening.
He has driven nine times since then,
finishing second once and third once.
Harness horse racing is one of the
few professions left in which there is
no known short-cut to the top; it in
volves a long, patient, dedicated appren
ticeship to develop the skill, knowledge
and experience necessary to success. And
even that doesn’t take account of the
element of luck. Mark Twain said that it
was a difference of opinion that made
horse races. The "breaks”— literally and
figuratively—win them. Mike, who is
technically known as Second Trainer,
knows this very well. He has been
thrown, bitten, kicked, stomped on and
run away with. But he intends to stick
with it until he has demonstrated con
clusively whether he can or cannot make
a respectable living at his beloved sport.
Happily, he has a wife—the former

three-months old daughter, Debbie)—
who share his enthusiasm; a father (R. S.

THE IDEA OF FREEDOM:
1959
Freedom— that sprawling, restlessly alive force in man— can undergo many chang
es from its revolutionary and violent conception. In the following article, Everett
Case, President of Colgate University, examines modern freedom and some of its
alterations. Dr. Case, a former consultant to the State Department, adapted the ar
ticle from a speech he made before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Colgate.
Reprinted from Saturday Review, July 4, 1959.

N ffEREWHON,” that celebrated sat
ire, Samuel Butler neatly ridicules
the notion that the people put a high
er value upon their intellectual and spirit
ual currency than on pounds, shillings,
and pence. I contend nevertheless that
debasem*nt of the dollar is not the most
disturbing aspect of our postwar world.
Even more serious is the current disposi
tion, at home and abroad, to question the
intrinsic value of the ideas and proposi
tions that have nourished the American
spirit from the beginning.
Take the idea of freedom. If one were
to undertake a book on these United
States as a case study of the free society,
his point of departure would obviously
be this concept. Is this another victim of
inflation ?
The question is worth pursuing. For
one thing, the concept of freedom has
become as familiar to us as an old hat or
a new Ford. How can anything we take
so much for granted, as part of the nat
ural order of things, be at the same time
the explosive and revolutionary force that
we are told this is ?
Reading the history of the Renaissance,
we can, of course, perceive the subversive
impact on church and state of doctrines
like the liberty of conscience or the nat

ural rights of man. Again we know that the extraordinary release of individual en
documents like our Declaration of Inde ergies, which constituted the common de

But with one revolution, which is still
gaining momentum on a kind of geomet
rical scale, we have not yet come to terms.
I refer to the continuing revolution in sci
ence and technology, whose dynamic
scope and import alternately excite and
appall our finite imaginations. In itself
it is only the latest manifestation of the
chain reaction I mentioned, which traces
back to this original and explosive idea
of human freedom. And because the
forces lately released by this continuing
revolution now pose a threat of annihila
tion quite as comprehensive as Noah’s
flood, we are apt to find the concept that
could bring us to this pass no longer the
intoxicating draught that it was to our
fathers, but very sobering indeed.
In the meantime, we have witnessed a
kind of flight from freedom that has
given a new lease on life to an older,
and as we had thought, discredited con
cept of society. For Americans, no phe
nomenon could have been more baffling
than the resurgence in our time of the

In the same context, one is bound to
mention the toll levied against our econ
omy by cynics who exploit the printed
word for corrupt purposes, by organized
gangsters and purveyors of race hatred,
and by our juvenile delinquents from
eight to eighty. Why have delinquency
and disorder infected the public schools,
and the system of universal education
that has long been our proudest boast?
Why does our free society so often seem
all but impotent to deal with such mani
festations of economic and human waste?
How long will it take a people "dedicated
[in Lincoln’s words] to the proposition
that all men are created equal” to make
that proposition even legally effective for
our colored population, North as well as
South ?
And, since all of these sins of omis
sion and commission constitute an im
portant part of the world’s image of
America, why in all conscience should we
expect the so-called backward nations to
take our free society as their proper
model ?
In one sense this effort to assay the
present value of our intellectual cur
rency has not taken us very far. It has, in
fact, not taken us beyond the initial ex
amination of a single concept. For this I
offer no apology; I have deliberately se
lected this concept of freedom for scruti
ny because on its validity rests that of our
intellectual currency as a whole.
How, then, do you assay its value?
Shall we denounce it as hopelessly de
based and ready for the discard because
it has proven itself to be no panacea at
the very moment that we hunger most
for panaceas ? Or have we, perhaps, been
guilty of ascribing to this concept cer
tain magic properties while undervaluing
those intrinsic to it?
At this point it is my intention to state
a number of propositions that you are at
liberty to accept, reject or restate, as your
own judgment dictates. I have just stated
the first: you are at liberty, I said, to ac
cept, reject or restate, as your judgment
dictates. Are you indeed? The determinists will tell you that your response—
or lack of it—has already been dictated
by a complex of circ*mstances which you
12

have always been, and are, powerless to
control. The authoritarians will assert
that you have no right to exercise such
liberty, that your judgment is probably
callow and ill-informed, and that in any
event papa—meaning the State, meaning
the Party, meaning the Dictator—knows
best, by definition. And 1 will remind
you that this liberty is inseparable from
responsibility, because its exercise entails
consequences for you and for society. Let

—reminds us that the
inevitable comes to
pass by effort.

no one delude you into believing that the
free society is not vitally concerned about
the welfare of the whole; it simply be
lieves that this end requires, among other
things, the exercise of free and respon
sible judgment by the individuals who
comprise it.
My second proposition is that, however
oppressive the responsibilities of freedom
may at times become, life for the mature
and healthy person who has ever experi
enced freedom would be intolerable with
out it. Ask the Poles. Ask the Czechs,
Ask the Hungarians. Few of the Rus
sians, to be sure, have ever known free
dom as we understand it, but if you are
discontented with your lot, consider "Doc
tor Zhivago.” Here you will encounter
the torments of a soul, which first em
braced the generous promises of the Com
munist revolution only to discover that,
like Macbeth’s weird sisters, the masters
of the Kremlin knew only too well how to

. . . keep the word of promise to our
ear.
And break it to our hope.
My third proposition is that, in the
long run, freedom is prerequisite to hu
man dignity, creative achievement, and
the pursuit of the good life. Without it,
Kant’s categorical imperative is meaning
less, and so in great measure is Christ’s
second commandment. As for the first
commandment, C. S. Lewis has recently
reminded us of the Miltonic effort to
reconcile the existence of evil with the
goodness of God. In substance, Milton—
and Lewis—ask quite simply how the
Creator could find any satisfaction in his
creatures’ pursuit of the good unless they
were also free to choose evil. If Milton’s
answer poses new questions for the phi
losopher and the critic, his point is at
least germane to my subject.
My recent visit to Angkor should
serve, of course, to remind me that in
certain of the arts—and notably in archi
tecture and sculpture—great things have
been achieved under authoritarian direc
tion and control. Nor am I unaware of
the frustrations and difficulties of which
our own creative artists and writers com
plain. Conceding all this, I would nev
ertheless contend that man’s creative spirit
is not to be cabined and confined, and
that it must sooner or later reassert its
characteristic demand for liberty or death.
My fourth propositition is that, where
as abuses creep into every kind of hu
man society, only the free society gives its
citizens the opportunity to get rid of them
through personal initiative or voluntary
cooperation or both. The real reason, in
deed, that freedom cannot be regarded
as a panacea is precisely that it spells
opportunity, neither more nor less. Its
successes and failures, therefore, are not
intrinsic but are wholly dependent upon
the use we make of the options and the
openings it affords us.
Here in a nutshell one discovers both
its limitations and its genius: what free
dom is not and what it is. We do neither
ourselves nor the cause of freedom any
service by suggesting that an individual or
a people has only to embrace it in order
to find an automatic solvent for all ills.
COLGATE ALUMNI NEWS

For it may even be true of individuals, as
it is certainly true of nations, that their
experience has not yet equipped them
to understand, much less to shoulder, the
responsibilities which freedom entails.
In our repeated failures to make full
and generous use of our opportunities—
to clear away the slums, to strengthen
our schools and colleges, to apply con
structive solutions to our transportation
and communications muddle, to create a
new world order, to substitute discrimi
nating for discriminatory judgments of our
fellow men—there is, to be sure, abun
dant room for frustration and dismay. But
before blaming these failures not upon
ourselves but upon the concept which
provides the opportunities, we would do
well to look a little further.
Isn’t it true that on most of these fronts
we have been making progress and are
discouraged only by the sluggish pace at
which we move? Isn’t this true of racial
segregation? Isn’t it true that the forces
that only a decade ago seemed insur
mountable barriers to the dream of Eu
ropean union have been yielding to the
creative forces which, beginning with the
Coal and Steel community and culminat
ing in today’s Common Market, are actu
ally forging the unity of Europe, step by
inexorable step? What except the buoy
ancy and determination born of freedom
could have survived such initial failures
as the repudiation of the European De
fense Community and found other means
of achieving its end, always by consent
and never by coercion? Shall free men
now permit the Soviets to sabotage this
development by force or threats of force?
And if, to come back to our original con
cern, the concept of freedom under law
is not to be trusted in our efforts to put
nuclear fission to its unimaginably con
structive, rather than its fatally destruc
tive, uses, in what alternative concept,
may I ask, would you put your trust ?
I have been attempting to demonstrate
to my own satisfaction that the true con
cept of freedom, divested of the extrava
gant pretensions with which we mistaken
ly invest it, is not in fact debased; and
that, in the long run at least, it is indis
pensable to the good life. To say this is in

in 1937. Employed for a brief period by
a Wall Street firm, on his own initiative
he secured an appointment as an Assistant
District Attorney under former Governor
Thomas E. Dewey. Following a fouryear hitch in the Navy, ending his ser
vice as a Lieutenant Commander, he
served as counsel for two Senate Com
mittees before being appointed Deputy
Attorney General in 1953. Four years
later, President Eisenhower appointed

him Attorney General of the United
States to succeed Herbert Brownell.
When he presented Bill for an honor
ary degree at Commencement in 1958,
"Kail” noted that in his first year as Dean
of Students (1934) he had presented him
for his Bachelor’s degree. "It is there
fore a particular pleasure that in my last
year in this office I have the high honor
once again to present him, this time for
an honorary degree of Doctor of Civil
Law.” Bill gave the Commencement ad
dress that year.
This June he also served as Master of
Ceremonies for the Alumni Luncheon
when he returned for his twenty-fifth re
union. He is a member of Sigma Chi
fraternity.
Bill is married to the former Adele
Langston and they have one daughter,
Dale, and three sons, Anthony, Jeffrey
and Douglas. They live in Bethesda,
Maryland.

no sense to disparage the prodigious
achievements, many of them constructive
as some are certainly disturbing, which
our brothers in Russia and even in China
have effected under a very different aegis.
Insofar as a people is not prepared—as
many of our own are not—to make wise
and responsible use of freedom’s precious
opportunities, centralized authority may
well be invoked as a necessary, albeit a
temporary, expedient for directing their
capacities into socially productive chan
nels. That this authoritarian system car
ries with it the grave danger that these
capacities may be directed into destructive
channels is, of course, a fact which for
the moment we are forced to live with.
History suggests, moreover, that only the
most enlightened despot is prepared to
relinquish or even share his power, ex
cept as the demand of the people becomes
irresistible. But if this is unlikely to oc
cur in Russia during my lifetime, I sub
mit that it might well happen in yours—
provided only you take to heart Mr.

Justice Holmes’s reminder that "the mode
by which the inevitable comes to pass is
effort.”
In the meantime, as we value our free
dom, let us be wary of cheap assertions
that history, or a so-called wave of the
future, is destined to overwhelm it. Let
us remember that the genius of freedom
lies precisely in its ability to renew the
creative forces that are always and every
where in mortal combat with the forces
of sterility and decay. Let us cherish
freedom, then, precisely for the oppor
tunities it affords of demonstrating its
virtues afresh to a world that sorely needs
its gospel of hope.
After all, we are its chief custodians
in time as well as space, and in assessing
its true value for ourselves, we may be
saving it for others. But we shall save
our freedom—and ourselves—only as we
learn to use it in our time with restraint
and sensitivity, to be sure, but also with
the boldness and the imagination de
manded by the perils of our situation.

Colgate is one of the colleges chosen to participate in the
National Defense Student Loan Program, and has received a
Federal allocation of $38,124. The U. S. Office of Education
allots funds to each State and the State Department of Educa
tion recommends the allocation to the specific institution. The
University is required to add one-ninth to the Federal contri
bution. Hence Colgate has available this year a fund of $42,460
to help needy and promising students. The loans are non
interest bearing during a student’s undergraduate career and
must be paid back within ten years after he leaves college, dur
ing which time a low interest rate is charged.

a budget, set up an accounting system, purchased supplies and
helped select a president. He proposes to write a book on
"How to Establish a College in Four Easy Lessons.”

It does a great deal.
The Bell System, for instance, buys from many
small businesses.
In 1958, its manufacturing and supply unit, the
Western Electric Company, did business with
more than 30,000 other firms throughout the
country. Nine out of ten of these suppliers
had fewer than 500 employees.
Purchases totaled more than $1,000,000,000.
In addition, Bell System employees spent a
large part of their $3,750,000,000 wages with
hundreds of thousands of other businesses.
The Bell System also helps many a small
business get started and grow by making its in

NEW JERSEY SHORE CLUB
The Old Union House in Red Bank has
been the scene of many a long session
discussing the establishment of a muchneeded District Club for Central New
Jersey. Such stalwarts as Erv Wilkinson
'51, Ray Hinman '51, Felix Turtur '40,
Walt Rathbun '32, "Brud" Davis '51 and
others have burned a lot of midnight oil
and have come up with plans for what
they hope will be "an extremely active
organization". First activity on the agenda
w as a Tailgate party, providing an op
portunity for an informal get-together of
this new group in a Rutgers Stadium
parking lot on October 10. On behalf of
the already established clubs, the Alumni
Office wishes to extend congratulations
to the organizers of this new group for
a job well begun and to wish them every
success in the future.

A program for the coming season that
should appeal to Colgate men and their fami
lies has been outlined by the officers. First on
the list is the Princeton Game party on October
17 at Fire House No. 1. This will have taken
place by the time this issue reaches you.
Second event will be a Glee Club Concert,
tentatively set for mid-winter. In the spring a
Colgate Thirteen party is planned, the date
not yet set. The final get-together will be a
combination golf outing and annual meeting
with a speaker from the campus. If you are
located in the area, would like to receive
notices of these and other events, and your
name is not on the club’s mailing list, get in
touch with Edward J. Winslow ’56, Secretary,
88 Southgate Rd., Murray Hill, N. J.

Philadelphia District Club teed off for their

annual summer plowing on July 9 at the
Merion Golf Club in Ardmore. Two Mulligans
per hole were allowed so that a few of the
better duffers managed to come in with less
than 120. Alibiing got under way about 6:30
when the group sat down to dinner.

Long I sland
The club recently had a golf tournament at
Bethpage, during which many hearty souls
played the afternoon round despite the rain.
W inner of the tournament was W alter Pape
’50 of Garden City who shot an 80. Phil
Sanford ’49 of Massapequa secured an 84.

Syracuse
Keep November 12, Thursday, open for the
annual pre-Syracuse game smoker. Complete
details will be mailed to district alumni, but
mark the date on your calendar now. Also,
remember the regular Monday luncheon at
Baird’s Restaurant. Everyone is welcome and
urged to attend.

W estern N ew Y ork
Once again "Billy Acres” at Point Apino,
Ontario, Canada, was the scene of the an

tennis and other outdoor sports, followed by
a co*cktail hour and topped off with a big
steak or lobster dinner, inspired those present
to agree "You just can’t hardly find no parties
like that no more!”

Successful Summer
Total enrollment for Colgate’s summer
session was 314 students, of which seven
were undergraduates, two special and 303
graduate students. The session, largest
ever held on campus, included three
special programs in science and languages
which accounted for 157 students.
These special programs comprised the
National Science Foundation Institute for
Junior High School Teachers (5 9 ); the
N. Y. State Science Institute of Elemen
tary School Teachers in Math and Science
(24), and the National Foreign Language
Institute for Public Secondary School
Teachers in French, German and Spanish
(70). Colgate was chosen as one of
twelve institutions in the country to initi
ate this latter program.
In connection with the science and
foreign language programs, ten excep
tional high school students from this
area were selected to work with problems
considerably further advanced than those
in their normal high school curriculum.

FOR OCTOBER, 1959

•A dd a new adjective to the nickname "Red Raiders of the
Chenango Valley.”
Sometimes they’ve been rampaging,
rampant, raging, even rollicking. This year they’re resource
ful.
Well, A1 Kelley is, anyway, and he hopes his team will be
as the season unfolds. Kelley has taken the practical attitude
that this is as good a year as any to start making changes so
he’s scheming like a river boat gambler.
To begin with, the new coach of the Red Raiders inherited
a squad long on weight and short on speed. There was also a
noticeable lack of experience (only 11 lettermen back from
1958). Spirits were lagging. There was no apparent soften
ing among the opponents. In short, just about any change had
to be for the better.
When you’re not fast enough to run away from the other
fellow and not quite big enough to bowl him over, Kelley says
you have to out-cute him, keep him off balance, make him
guess wrong. Mix up the attack so he spreads his defenses
when you’re passing. That’s oversimplifying but it gives you
the general idea.
To do this, A1 has installed a completely new attack, a far
cry from the "three yards and a cloud of dust” thinking be
hind the split-T. After seven years of the split-T, the Red
Raiders are tossing aside their conservative game and are go
ing for broke.
Basically, the new offense is a combination of the straight T, the single wing and the double wing. This allows for flex
ibility in the ground game while maintaining plenty of chances
to pass. In fact, Kelley makes the pass his key weapon with
the running attack as a counter-balance. His Brown teams
averaged from 18 to 20 passes a game, and he sees no change
in that this year.
This naturally puts a great premium on quarterbacks. In
his original thinking, A1 was looking to Bob Paske ’61, the
only experienced signal caller, to shoulder most of the burden.
But no team can afford to rely solely on one quarterback so
the coach gambled and brought junior Ed Abel up from half
back to help out. This paid off early enough to allow
sophom*ore Pete Testa to pull a reverse switch, going from quar
terback to halfback. W alt Jones, an exceptional passer for a
sophom*ore, rounded out the throwing department.
The running department had trouble moving the ball last
year, but the backs learned a lot. They learned even more in
the first few weeks of practice as the coaches fed them plays
at every turn. To the amazement of some, the runners took
everything in stride and smoothed out their end of the attack
well in advance of expectations.
There was little doubt that Bernie Dailey ’60 could plow
his way through the line from fullback. W hat was needed was
some speed to the outside and enough mobility to add the
deception the new system called for. Veterans John Maloney
’61 and Herm Brauch ’61 would be counted on for maximum
effort; the sophom*ores had to develop to round out the plan.

A composite picture of success
This combination of photographs symbolizes the more
than 450 qualifying members of the Leaders Association,
New England Life’s organization of top salesmen. They
have diverse appearances and personalities, come from
different backgrounds, employ a variety of selling methods.
Yet all of these men have a common base on which their
success has been founded: belief in their product.
Our Average Leader* believes so strongly in what he
sells that his own life is insured for $96,950! And his
enthusiasm and ability led to an income of over $20,000
average ($15,000 m edian!) last year, through sales of more
than a million dollars of life insurance. The average size of
the 51 policies he sold was $22,523 — four times the
national average of the industry.
A college graduate, Mr. Average Leader entered the life
insurance business at the age of thirty-four. Now only forty

years old, he is a successful and hard-working business
man who enjoys unusual independence.
Perhaps a career of this sort appeals to you. There are
opportunities at New England Life for other ambitious
college men who meet our requirements. For more infor
mation, write to Vice President L. M. Huppeler, 501

Bowling Alleys Open
in Reid Athletic Center
•T he W illiam A. R eid Athletic Center opened its doors
for the first time in mid-September when the bowling lanes in
augurated the pin season. Eight lanes, complete with the
latest bowling features including automatic pinsetters, will be
in use the rest of the year for play in physical education classes,
intramural and community leagues and open play.
Special opening ceremonies are planned in connection with
the formal beginning of hockey in December. The Red Raider
skaters will make their home debut on December 11 with
Cornell. The artificial ice rink has been completed and is being
tested at present.
Earl F. Brown, former Penn State athlete and a prominent
Central New York bowler, is managing the bowling lanes.

Of these, by far the best was Jacque MacKinnon while Joe
Simunovich and Tom Scull could be counted on for help a
little later in the year. The big, fast MacKinnon was the near
est thing to a triple-threat back Colgate had seen in more years
than anyone cared to remember. He ran very well, punted
with the best and was adequate as a passer.
The line was put to work learning a new blocking setup
and it took to its work readily. Line coach Howie Hartman
was fortunate in having veterans in tackles Fran Morelli ’61
and Charlie Ehin ’60, guards Joe Wignot ’60, the captain, and
Frank Rowan ’60 and center Jim McComish ’60. From there
on out, though, it was anybody’s war for positions. Up from
the 1958 frosh charged a half dozen men who rated more than
a second look: tackle Paul Jolie, center Rick Riccardi and
guards Dick Beardsley, Stu Benedict, Dave Buran and Ken
Kerr. This latter quartet was particularly eye-catching.
Fears about tackle depth clouded this picture a bit but the
big problem was the ends. For the first time since World War
Two, Colgate had no ends of the likes of Al Fassnacht ’50,
Karl Kluckhohn ’52, Gary Chandler ’54 or Al Jamison ’59.
The problem called for considerable work because blocking
at the end was essential to the new attack; the pass catching
could be shared by the halfbacks. If there was one place the
coaches felt could thwart the new attack, it had to be at end.
Whatever the problems, there seems to be a disposition to
get the job done. The Raiders reported for practice in
September in high spirits and in good shape as though to say,
''W e came to play.” Their willingness to learn was refreshing.
Even the murderous heat and humidity of the first weeks failed
to dull their edge. Generally, they adapted themselves to each
situation as it arose and, for the first few weeks at least, they
topped every problem.
The way they went about absorbing their lessons prompted
one wag to dub them ''a thinking man’s team.” You’ve got
to think to survive in football today.

New Stands
•A new 4,600-seat grandstand providing
the latest in comfort for Colgate foot
ball fans was erected on the east side of
the athletic field during the summer. The
new stand, which completes the renova
tion of the stadium, was in use for the
Cornell Homecoming game and drew
compliments from many fans, especially
from Cornell followers who remembered
with some misgivings the former bleach
ers that had greeted them during their in
frequent visits.

Colgate's new offense depends heavily on such
backs as, left to right, Halfback Jacque MacKin
non '62, Dover, New Jersey; Quarterback Bob
Paske '61, Buffalo; Fullback Bernie Dailey '60,
Gouverneur, and Halfback John Maloney '61,

Letters have been received during the sum
mer from several members of the class who
were unable to attend their sixtieth reunion in
June. Berton A. G arrett wrote that since
he alone represented the class at the 55th re
union, he and Mrs. Garrett were in an auto
mobile accident which crippled her for life
and put an end to his driving. He also wrote
that the only other living graduate in the class
is now the Rev. W alter C. M ason , still ac
tive in the ministry as supply pastor for a little
church in Arvin, Calif. The Rev. G eorge K.
H am ilton , oldest living non-graduate in the
class, wrote that because he has suffered two
mild coronary attacks, his physician advised
against the trip, but that he continues to try to
express his growing and deepening affection for
Colgate by interesting young men of promise
in the College. Now retired, he and Mrs.
Hamilton are living quietly in their own home
in Dundee. The Rev. W alter C. M ason ,
living in Claremont, Calif., wrote that "in these

FOR OCTOBER, 1959

An alumnus of the Class of 1925 has
returned to the Library a book which he
withdrew in fune, 1924. Happy to have
it back, since it was Volume 1 of a twovolume set, the late Mr. Hams waived the
fine which would have aggregated ap
proximately $576.80.
memos carried the above
item in the December, 1957, issue
of the News. On April 8, 1959, proof
that Memos are read came in the form of
a letter from the alumnus who returned
the book. Addressed to the Librarian, his
communication read, in part:
"Now, Mr. Iiams, why be so pessimis
tic about collecting that fine? I think it
will be possible for you to get it if you’re
not in a hurry. Tell you what I’ll do.
I’ll add a codicil to my will leaving $1,000
to Colgate. If I die within the next few
years you’ll not only collect the fine but a
little interest to boot. If I live quite a
while, you’ll collect your $576.80 with
some interest but at a progressively lower
rate.”
Mr. Iiams responded that "if all alumni
paid their fines on books 'removed’ from
the Library when they were undergradu
ates, we could finish the second floor and
have enough left over to endow the pur
chase of new books!” But, considering
the terms of payment, he hoped it would
not be paid for 50 years.
The protagonist of this little exchange
wishes to remain "Alumnus of the Class
of 1925”.

From New York Life’s yearbook of successful insurance career men!

BOB BRAD LEY-for
10 years in succession
more than a
million dollars in sales!
New York Life representative Bob Bradley is on
a road that seems to have no ending. Every year
since 1949, he has sold more than a million dollars
worth of New York Life insurance and is well on
the way to doing the same this year. And because
of New York Life’s unique compensation plan,
Bob is assured of a lifetime of financial security.
Bob Bradley, like many other college alumni, is
well established as a New York Life representa
tive. His own talents and ambitions are the only
limitations on his potential income. In addition,
he has the deep satisfaction of helping others. If
you or someone you know would like more infor
mation on such a career with one of the world’s
leading insurance companies, write:
