From the Archives is dra w11 fro m material Trinity 's history in tire Watkinson Library, the special collectiolls department rif the Trinity Co llege Library. As I write this letter for our next Reporter, school has begun in earnest, snow still covers the campus, we are having a brief break in the winter cold, and students, faculty, and staff alike are going about the business of education here at our College. Now in my eighth month at Trinity, I have come to understand all the more why our students profit so handsomely from the educational opportunities offered here and why the alumni and alumnae whom Jan and I have met on our visits to chapters all over the country feel so strongly about their College.
No one could feel more welcome than we. From the two desks where I customarily sit to write, I am struck by how the Chapel dominates our campus, in ways both architectural and aesthetic. The great rose window looms directly in front of the side windows of my office in Williams Memorial. Given these constant reminders ofTrinity's beginnings, I have given a great deal of thought lately to why schools seem almost sacred entities.
As we know, the modern academy finds its historical roots in the cathedral schools of 13th-century Europe: Many American institutions were also founded as religious colleges and universities, Trinity being a good example, as it was founded by Bishop Brownell and the College's earliest benefactors. Although non-sectarian, Trinity, like so many other schools, still seems to guard something sacred, passing it on from one generation to the next: But maintaining that sacred trust requires constant vigilance and resolute action if we are to fulfill our highest obligation to our students and their future.
Higher education in America today faces a number of challenges, external and internal. On the external front, for example, we hear from time to time that there are those in national positions who might wish to regulate credit hours, and the transferability of credit hours, on American campuses. Again on the external front, almost every institution I know faces a number of financial challenges, striving to balance the vital necessity of assuring access to any promising studentregardless of race, gender, national origin, or socio-economic background-with the equally vital necessity of stewarding tuition dollars, endowment income, and gifts to guarantee that the superior education we offer can be sustained in the future.

At Trinity, we are deeply engaged in the ongoing process of such stewardship. Last December, we embarked upon the most careful of financial examina-. To date, this conunittee has proposed cuts in present budget lines of 3. In the process of making these necessary reductions, every care has been taken to preserve the core academic mission of the College and to insure that undergraduate education here remains at the highest national standard. We have additional challenges before us in the future, but we intend to confront them directly and forthrightly.
Being proper stewards of an institution's finances is one of the most important responsibilities we have. Our goal is to insure that students can continue to come to Trinity, whatever their economic background, since diversity in all its myriad dimensions is imperative not only for the present education of us all but also, and more importantly, for the future of our country and of the world. There is a passage in Thoreau's journals that comes to my mind each time I have some communication with our Trinity students. Thoreau, not so many miles from our campus, by the way, suddenly starts conunenting about a young man and his tool box.
The scene is a back yard. Thoreau eloquently writes about a young fellow who takes his tool box confidently out there to build a bridge to the moon. Building bridges to the moon, or at least having the idealistic confidence to believe oneself capable of building such bridges, defines most aptly what schools such as Trinity are all about.
They are sites where, in an almost sacred sense, young men and women venture forth into their own intellectual back yards as they prepare themselves for their futures. Doing everything one can to insure that Trinity's promise remains steadfast is an awesome responsibility. As we move forward vigorously to strengthen the College fiscally and academically, I am heartened by my growing sense of just how profoundly everyone connected with Trinity loves this venerable institution.
Jan and I are happy to share this responsibility- and this love - with all of you who make up the Trinity conu Joyce was appointed in February as Trinity's vice president of college advancem ent. Previously the senior vice president for developm. During his year career at Colgate, he served in a variety of roles, including director of annual and planned giving and director of development and the Campaign fo r Colgate, b efore b eing nam ed vice president for alumni affairs, communications, and development.
His primary areas of responsibiliry at Trini ry are development, alumni affairs, and communica tions. Following his appointment, Joyce said: I am also eager to return to N ew England where my roots are and where l have fa mily still living in Maine, Massachusetts, and Verm ont. The College's nati onal reputation for academic excellence is what initially attracted me. And I love the feeling of co mmuniry and intimacy that you find in a small liberal arts college.
Beyond that, th ough, l have to say that the single biggest reason for my coming here is Jimmy Jones. H e has extensive experi ence as a college president, he knows the development business, and most importantly, he has a fire in his belly, a real passion for making Triniry an eve n better college. How did you get started in the fundraising business? I was a somewhat older stu dent as an undergraduate, having interrupted my edu cation to. When l returned to school, l go t a job working for the president of Colgate.
One of my tasks was to be the driver for members of th e board of trustees wh en they visited ca mpus, and one day one of them said, "What are you go ing to do when you graduate'" Then he told me abo ut a j ob that was opening up in the development office. At that point, I knew so little about the business that I said, "What's development? I took it, was immediately hooked, and th at j ob turn ed into a 31 - year career! It has been grea t fun , and has been very rewarding.
You quickly learn that the best thing about fundraising. What lessons have you learned from your work at other schools that will help guide your efforts at Trinity? I learned that you can't rush relationshipbuilding with your donors. I also learned that donors want you to be direct and specific. It's not enough to simply say that you want money. You have to build a case for why you need it and what a particular gift is going to accomplish for your institution.
Finally, I have learned that the key to a successful development program is a quality staff. Enthusiastic volunteers are certainly important to any fundraising effort; but the better the staff you have supporting them, the more successful you, and the volunteers, are likely to be. I ca n also see that we need to sharpen our messages about Trinity's unique strengths. There are hundreds of liberal arts colleges in this country, and in order to attract the best students, we need to do a good job of explaining what sets us apart from the others.
Certainly our imaginative and mutually beneficial relationship with the city of Harrford is one distinguishing feature. Discovering and clarifying other special strengths is important. It is already clear to me that Trinity has a nun1. Please talk about the importance of the endowment for the future of the College. Relative to the leading liberal arts colleges to which we are frequently compared, and with whom we compete for students and faculty members, we need to substantially strengthen both our endowment and our annual fund.
Trinity currently has an endowment of some , million, which puts us at a competitive disadvantage when we look at schools like Williams, Grinnell, and Swarthmore, each of which is endowed at more than the billion-dollar level. In addition, there are schools among our competitors whose annual fund provides as much as 10 cents of each dollar of the operating budget, whereas our figure stands nearer 4.
We are well down the NESCAC ladder in dollars, but through thoughtful planning and dedicated hard work we have still been able to provide an education that is of high quality. Just imagine what more we could do with comparable resources in place! While I don't entirely subscribe to the notion of college ratings, as in the annual US. News a11d IMJrld R eport survey, those rankings are often a proxy for the wealth of an institution.
It seems to me that at Trinity, our academic strengths are not yet matched by our financial resources. Building a stronger endowment will help us do that. It will enable Trinity to expand its financial aid offerings in order to attract the best students, and it will enable us to create more endowed faculty chairs, which in turn means we ca n attract and retain the best new faculty members. Building the endowment also means that we can strengthen key academic support areas, like the Raether Library and Information Technology Center, where we need to stay current with new acquisitions in books, periodicals, and up-to-date electronic media.
Finally, we need to have a strong endowment in order to help make a Trinity education affordable for a wide range of people. Without financial aid, we won't have a broadly diverse student population. And without that, we can't offer the ful. The world is a very diverse place, so we want our students living in a real world here. If they are to be successful as adults, they need to be comfortable living and working with people from all sorts of backgrounds.
The size of th e endowment has a huge impact on th e future of the College. It helps us match the best students with the best teachers in a setting that provides topnotch support for ongoing intellectual co nversations. Trinity enjoys tremendous loyalty from its graduates, and I am sure we can all work togemer to ensure that the endowment grows to a size that brings us into line with the best of our peers.
This is an exciting time for Trinity and a particularly exciting mom ent for the advancement program. With an energetic new president, a supportive Board of Trustees, and plans for a comprehensive ca mpaign in the formative stage, we are about to embark on a period when all of us, workin g together, can provide resources that will substantially strength en the College.
I look forward to many co nversations with Trinity alum. And there are essential and tremendously rewarding opportunities to host alumn. We are going to be very active in mobilizing faculty members, coaches, and staff members. At the same time, it is critically important for people to stay financially connected to the College. No one who goes to school here, or at any of the top-rated liberal arts colleges, pays the full cost of what it takes to provide this kind of high-quality education.
It's easy for a college and its recent graduates to lose track of each other, especially when people are at the stage of th eir lives when they may. There is also an expanded role at Trinity for parents of current students. They are very much a welcome part of the " fanlliy," and can play an important role by advising on such things as Orientation, providing feedback on ways to improve communication between them and the College, and generally keeping us posted on the interests and concerns of their Trinity students.
It's not simply a matter of financial support. As we prepare for an eventual comprehensive campaign for Trinity, we are going to add more members to our advancement. Not that vice presidents for advancement have a lot of free time, but what are some of your favorite things to do on a day off? My favorite thing at the moment is chasing my young grandclllid around!
We're looking forward to the impending arrival of our second grandch ild, so I am sure that the two of them are going to keep me very busy. I'm an avid golfer and can't wait to see what COimecticut has to offer in that respect. I love historical nonfiction, and have recen tly enjoyed reading E11durance: I also just finished Good to Great by Jim Collins, a terrific book on how to take business to the next level.
The tinting on that one co uldn 't have been better! Education, enlightenment, and general public exposure on the emergence of China as a major force in today's world is sorely lacking in the United States. Instead of painting an accurate view of China's dramatic transition to the status of"major competitor," our media seem to give way to an attitude of" benign neglect.
In a far more subtle, understated-certainly under-publicized-way, we are again being economically challenged. Following four years of teaching in China, observing first-hand the emergence of this new world power, l 'd like to share some of my thoughts and impressions. A little over a year ago, China wa in the international doghouse, responsible for a major health problem that kept business and tourists away for nearly three months. In his opening speech, he proclaimed the city to be "the hottest economic spot in the world.
Even Japan, like so many other nations, is now outsourcing much of its manufacturing to C hin a, addi ng to that country's hu ge export balance. C hin a has now replaced Japan in dollar value of exported goods; by , it will surpass both Japan and Korea as the world's top. Along with the billions of dollars brought in by international companies now manufacturing in C hin a, there is also a wealth of th e most modern technical, manufacturing, and scientific knowledge being shared, th e value of which cannot be calculated in monetary terms.
Signs of the tremendous foreign investment are everywhere. I recently took a train trip to a city two hours outside of Shanghai and was amazed at the miles and miles of former far m land now taken over by huge mod ern factories, flying flags from Germany, Switzerland, Spain, France, Italy, Sweden, Japan, and the United States. I also noted a bit of irony; the largest investor in China is Taiwan, but it is abso lutely illegal to fly their flag on the Chinese mainland.
The issue ofTaiwan remains a potential flashpoint and no small matter when one realizes that the only nation in the world that would assist Taiwan in a conflict is the United States. In the past 10 yea rs, C hina has done a masterful diplomatic job of convincing the international community that Taiwan is part of" Mother China," and "it must be brought back into the fo ld, one way or another. When li ving in China, one must read the English version of China's daily newspaper www.
The most striking impression one is left with is that, day after day, nothin g negative ever happens, only positive progress in this country of 1. Page one consistently gives statistics showing never-ending growth in areas of personal income, GOP,. Political debates, criticism, or questioning of govenm1ent policies and pronouncements are virmally nonexistent. In conversations with university students, corporate executives, office workers, hotel personnel, and "the average man on the street," the predominant feeling or attitude seems to be "forget about the government-what they do and say is not important enough to me to waste time and effort challenging them Anyway, they must be doing some things very well as our nation has become the 'factory floor' of the world, we've now put a man in space, the Olympics are coming, we can go on vacations abroad, buy cars and apartments, and we are respected as an economic giant and have pride and prestige throughout the international community.
Our priorities are to make money, continue to improve our life, and the lives of our parents, who lived through such chaos and misery in the ss. Criticizing or challenging or questioning our government is not a priority and certainly would be nonproductive. I think it is safe to say that any changes that would liberalize th e gove rnment's policies will come through "evolution," certainly not " revolution.
Not a policeman on any stree t in C hina wea rs a gun or carri es a nightsti ck. With a population fi ve times that of Ameri ca , gu n homicides in C hina in one year are probably equivalent to those in just one week in th e United States-guns are simply forbidd en, as are dru gs. The penalties for possession of either of these are severe and swift. Beginnings of the "new" China The " new" C hina really began not in 1, when the ancient emperor system was overthrown by Dr.
SunYat Sen, not in , when the C ommunists took power, but rath er in , wh en the incoming premi er, D eng Xiaoping, opened China to the world, and th e world responded by giving it a strength and power never possible under Mao Zedong's chaotic regime. Indeed, mu ch of China's ri se to world-power status has been generated fro m without, from the thousands of foreign corporations hungry for profits from this new market, all willing to pump billions of dollars and incalculable amoun ts of brain power, modern manufac turin g equipment, methods, technology, and manage rial skills into a struggling co mmunist nation.
H owever, at the same tim e, th e C hinese government has shown that it is ve ry adept at combining this new strength with shrewd dipl omacy to achi eve international presti ge and respect. In the world today, win-win situations are ideal but rare, yet China has experienced such a situatio n for 24 yea rs and emerged as a formidable drago n, spouting a very co mpetitive fire, indeed a world power now to be reckoned with.

Or, as she wrote in an essay upon the retirement in of her colleague Kenneth Lloyd-Jones, who served as chair ofTriniry's Department of Modern Languages. Her poems have been displayed as part of art installations in museums and have appeared in magazines such as North American Review and Shenandoah. Among her most acclaimed are her war poems. Not only in her poetry has Katz dug deep into the experience of her family's persecution during WWII. Born in Antwerp, Belgium, in , she spoke Flemish and French until she was 12, when she learned to speak English upon emigrating to California to escape Nazi persecution.
She also reveres the linguistic idiosyncrasies ofYiddish and laments, after all these years in the States, that her Flemish is fading. She says she thinks in English, and dreams in French. What does this multilinguism mean to her? Katz believes "you don't really know a language unless yo u can write in it," and her concern as a translator, she says is "to stay close to the original by changing the literal. It has also been used to support activities of the Triniry Human Rights Program.
Despite the many hats she wears, Katz is perhaps best known as an engaging, enthusiastic professor who pushes her students toward literary and linguistic excellence. She is discouraged by America's "monolinguistic approach to the world" and says that while Triniry's students, like students throughout the country, have a "malaise" about traditional expressions of language, they are "very verbal in a new way-they are observant and notice things, especially in film , that they don't notice in books. She developed an innovative course entitled "Translation Workshop: Theory and Practice," through which a student can combine a passion for the language and another discipline.
Her co urses run the gamut from surveys at all levels to more specific and esoteric choices such as "French Cinema: The New Wave" and "Symbolism and Decadence: Whether her work is in teaching, translation, poetry, or activism, she seems to begin and end in a centered, quiet place. Consider these lines from her poem, "Hiding in Other People's Houses":. First my mind must be absolutely calm like water in a well or those back streets of childhood unvisited for days but for th e wind moving a little dust from one stone to the next.
And those are things that alumni can answer because they've been there. Jege enroll highquality students, I know I'm helping Trinjty retain its competitive position as one of the top liberal arts colleges," says Scott. There are lots of ways to get involved as an almnn i admissions volunteer.

For the balance of that semester, he devoted himself to capturing the dilapidated buildings that were all too common along Broad Street back then. Frog Hollow was a striking contrast to Deep I: Uver, the Connecticut River town where he grew up. But not until he began sketching those buildings did the meaning of that counterpoint fully reveal itself. Dispirited inner city neighborhoods were a consequence of mjddJe class flight to the suburbs.
But in Connecticut's bucolic rural towns-where, between and , the state lost an average 18 acres of open land to development every day--urban refugees were imperiling the very quality of life they sought. The more Lewis worked to capture the stark mearung of those abandoned buildings, the more he thought about what he wanted to do with his life. And, increasingly, architecture made sense. The meaning of community design "Triruty had a huge impact on me," Lewis says.
With a small group of other like-minded students, he created the Dwight Edgewood Design Collaborative. Adopting New Haven 's Dwight and Edgewood neighborhoods as a laboratory, the collaborative's members experimented with urban restoration concepts. Those projects informed his trunking about the juxtaposition of architecture and conm1uruty design. Along the way, Lewis met Jennifer Smjth, a fellow architecture student who shared his interests, and who would soon become his wife. Gregg was soon immersed in a role most architects only dream about at the dawn of their careers.
By then, however, Gregg Lewis' life had taken another turn. Sustainability When the Lewises' daughter, Audrey, was born in , the young couple relocated to Roanoke, Virginia, to be closer to Jennifer's family. Gregg had no difficulty landing a job. But the projects he managed were primarily large and institutional, offering scant opporturuty to advance the ideas about "green" architecture and sustainable development that had fueled his imagination, now, for more than a decade. Trungs came to a head in , when he was asked to design a large federal perutentiary in Alabama, the antithesis of what he was interested in.
Lewis realized the time had come to commit to rus dream. So, while Jennifer worked for a local firm , Gregg threw rumself wholly into creating their own practice-SmjthLewis Architecture. Roanoke presented both opportunities and obstacles. It has a long and interesting history, a hospitable climate, interstate highway service, and many of the ameruties that attract affiuent urban professionals. With just 95, residents, it features a comfortable balance between the urban and the rural. Moreover, its population has remained relatively stable, even though it is just miles northwest of burgeorung Charlotte, North Carolina, and miles west of the nation 's capital.
But, Lewis saw distinct parallels to Connecticut. While inner city neighborhoods wore the face of neglect, developmental sprawl was relentlessly nibbling away at the surrounding Blue fudge. Lewis found "an energetic group of environmentally focused citizens," but no strong market for the kind of practice he and Jennifer wanted to build. He began meeting with civic leaders, telling them about his ideas, and writing conm1entaries on development issues for The Roanoke Ties. The city's modest size worked to rus advantage.
And then Gregg and Jennifer came up with an idea that would change their lives in ways neither could have imagined. It gives you a lot of time to think. R emaking the Way We Make Things. The book offered a fresh perspective on design and construction, making the case that "when designers employ the intelligence of natural systems-the effectiveness of nutrient cycling, the abundance of the sun's energy-they can create products, industrial systems, buildings, even regional plans that allow nature and commerce to fruirfully co-exist.
So, in the spring of , they began planning a public lecture. A local nonprofit group, the Roanoke Regional Housing Network, learned of their efforts and offered to help.
Lewis was grateful for their support, but, he says, though they worked on the project all that sumn1er, no one was sure what kind of attendance to expect. When McDonough finally came to Roanoke, in October, people turned out. They wanted to introduce a design competition for affordable housing. By early , the competition-now called C2C Homewas well on its way to becoming reality.
What Works, What Doesn't, who described the competition as "the first new idea in community building in nearly years. A week later the Web site went live. Even with the success of M cDonough's Roanoke lecture as a gauge, Lewis could not have imagi ned the response C2C would provoke. By November 15, when registration closed, almost 1, individuals and groups, from more than 40 countries, had expressed interest. A month later, at the cutoff date for proposals, Lewis was looking at more than designs.
The judges were bowled over by the response. Nevertheless, by January they had selected winners. This summer, a collaboration of organizations will support constru ction of the first homes, using the award-winning designs, addressing both Lewis' dreams and those of the Roanoke Regional Housing Network. By the summer of, Lewis hopes 30 homes will be under construction, transforming th e face of Roanoke. In other words, they relate to their environment just as we humans do. At a time in their lives when most students focus on social interaction with their peers, three Trinity seniors are more worried about how fish relate to one another.
South American electric knife fish, to be exact. Do these fish talk to one another? If so, what do they say? Do males and females have different things on the brain? How does stress affect the fish's communication? All three believe that hidden in the still waters of the biology lab 's fish tanks are secrets vital to the healthy functioning of the human brain. Developing ways to work together "On one level, our researc h is about the knife fis h's mid-brain and the generation of new neurons in the brain," says Gallant, a biology major from Ashford, Connecticut, who plans to enter a Ph.
I find it very interesting that, depending on the social context, these fis h communicate very differently, and I think tells us something abo ut ourselves. He and his colleagues call the lab the "Chirp C hamber," because, when threatened or excited by the presence of another fish, the knife fis h emit a high-frequency electric signal called a chirp that changes the electrical field around them. Gallant has written a computer software program that analyzes these chirps and converts them into an audio signal. When fed through an oscilloscope, the electrical waves can be counted: They have rituals of courtship and aggression, and they sense isolation and threat.
The fact that they're communicating about it is compelling. Knife fish have poor eyesight, are. It makes you think about your own life and how you communicate with others. Building new brain cells AJda Prendaj and Jam es Castellano, two oth er students in th e electri c fish lab, come at th e knife fish experiments from a slightl y diffe rent angle. Both intend to enter th e field of medi cin e, and are primar il y concern ed with the mechan ics of neurogenesis, or th e ways in w hich th e brain can build new cells.

It's easy to see w hy Gallant, who has a minor in human ri ghts, anthropomorphizes th e fish. Like th e scientists of the R enaissance, he manages to combine th e philosophical with the practi cal. In his work, hard , accurate, cutting- edge neuro-. It's a ph enomenon Pren daj and Castellano see as holding enormo us hope for humans.

M y personal responses to environment, family, and sociery all have a bearing on what I produce as an artist. The significance of the work to me is the part it plays in processing the world large or small around me. I consider my work to be commemorative of experiences, and it exists as "constructed responses" to me. My intent is to move toward some kind of universal meaning or value, but what meaning, what value, is neither specific or explicit. Architectural forms have been long-term vehicles for expression in my work.
I can relate to the house image physically, emotionally, and intellectually. My work refers to conunon experience, but I am also interested in unexpected juxtapositions and relationships. The unexpected in my work seems to occur when I use a process of combining or fusing seemingly unrelated images to synthesize a third. In the past, I have used the house image as a metaphor for religion, death, marriage, and more recendy, self.
I have combined other images with the house image to convey personal attitudes and thoughts about these things. Most recendy, the addition of rubber as an element has added associations I am working toward. Ambiguiry and tension have to be present for me to be satisfied with the work, but I try to achieve this in serene form. To view more images of Patricia Tillman's work, please go to www.

A community can be defined in many ways, but perhaps the most common way is by its size. Trinity College has approximately 2, undergraduate students in a given year and much smaller groups of master's and IDP students. While these numbers remain fairly constant from year to year, Trinity's alumni conm1Unity does not.
This community, which now numbers approximately 20,, adds about active members to its ranks each year. While we sadly lose a number of alunmi each year, these numbers are smaller by comparison. Thus, Trinity's alumni are its largest permanent constituency. It is a wonderful responsibility and an honor to help steward the relationship between the College and its alumni.
There are thousands of wonderful stories and cherished memories that make up this community. These are shared in many ways-through publications like the Reporter, in individual friendships, and in larger settings, including Trinity Area Club receptions around the country and at major events on campus like Reunion and Homecoming. Your National Alunmi Association Executive Committee NAA serves as an advisory committee to help the staff of the College in their efforts to steward this relationship, and it considers conm1unication a vital part of this process.
In my letter that appeared in the last issue of the Reporter, I outlined the NAA's working conunittees, their tasks, and their chairs. The committees are hard at work on the issues of alumni communications, area club progranuning, strategic planning, the functioning and role of the NAA, and the creation of an Alunmi Social Council to help provide guidance to the social and cultural organizations at Trinity. Mary Jo Keating '74, in her role as chair of the alumni communications ad hoc conmuttee, invites you to e-mail her at keatimj NU.
COM if you have any questions. I would like to direct your attention to an important recent development in alumni co1m11Unications and to take a nunute to talk about Reunion. Four issues have been created and e-mailed, and the next issue will go out shortly. If you haven 't seen it, I urge you to go to www.
