Dr. Albert C. Jacobs, right, in the outdoor pulpit of the Chapel, delivers his acceptance address just after being inaugurated 14th President of the College.

Promising to · preserve the character of the College, Dr. Albert C. Jacobs was in­augurated the fourteenth President of Trin­ity in a most impressive ceremony outside the Chapel on May 16 before 1,800 dis­tinguished guests, alumni, students and friends.

Urging a reversal of the trend away from the liberal education Dr. Jacobs said in his address "the twentieth century has in­creasingly become the generation of the common man, technically skilled~with

much know how and little know why­knowing how to manipulate materials but not how to mature as men; how to amass wordly goods, but not how to lead helpful and meaningful lives ; how to release atomic power, but not how to use it wisely."

Spring Sports Briefs Sporting an 8-1 record against New Eng­

land competition Captain Bill Lauffer's nine had some excellent pitching from Charlie Wrinn who has turned in six wins. The victories have been over Springfield, Bates, Williams, Yale, Amherst, Worcester Tech, Tufts and Coast Guard with the loss at the hands of Massachusetts.

The Freshman nine has turned back Massachusetts, Amherst, Monson and Nichols while falling before the Yale Jay­vees.

Showing strength in the sprints, hurdles, and field events Karl Kurth's tracksters de­feated Massachusetts, Coast Guard, Mid­dlebury, and Worcester Tech. Captain Chuck Purdy made consistent wins in the hurdles and Bill Saypalia set a new college record of 47 feet 1:14 inches in the shot put.

The yearlings suffered close defeats from Choate and Massachusetts before being toppled by Wesleyan. Victory finally came over Cheshire.

Roy Dath's well balanced tennis team has scored wins over Worcester, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Clark, Middlebury, Vermont, and A.I.C. Powerful Amherst turned back the Hilltoppers, with matches against Wesleyan and Springfield yet to be played.

Louis Welton Downes, College Trustee, inventor of the enclosed cartridge fuse and a pioneer in the electrical industry, died in Providence, Rhode Island, on April 7 after a short illness. Possessing a burning loyal­ty for his Alma Mater, Mr. Downes always had time to offer counsel on College mat­ters and was ever a generous contributor. A frequent campus visitor, his kindly and friendly manner will be missed by his many friends .

Mr. Downes was born in Cranston, Rhode Island,' on August 17, 1865, the son of Lewis Thomas Downes, Class of 1848, and Sarah Maria Hill Chapin. He prepared for college at Cheshire Academy and entered in 1884 with the Class of 1888. As an undergraduate he sang in the Glee Club, was on the Ivy Board, and was elected President of his class during his Junior year. His fraternity was the Beta Beta Chapter of Psi Upsilon.

After graduation in 1888, he did gradu­ate work in Engineering at London Insti­tute, London, England, for one year before joining the Narragansett Electric Light Company as a meter inspector. In two years he had been promoted to Manager of the company's electrical equipment.

Realizing he needed experience in ma­chine design, Mr. Downes took a position with the C & C Motor Company of New York. After a year he returned to Provi­dence to organize the engineering firm of Downes and Henshaw. He developed a process of applying asbestos fibre to wire as a heat-proof insulation medium.

In 1896 Mr. Downes was granted pat­ents for the so-called "Enclosed Fuse" for use in lighting and power circuits which later became the universal type of fuse con-

struction throughout the country. He or­ganized with William C. Woodward the D & W Fuse Co. to manufacture these de­vices and began operation in a small shop with one employee. The business grew very rapidly and expanded into three mills with 650 employees.

When the elevated railway of New York changed from steam to electric drive, it asked for one fuse to handle the entire power supply. Such a severe test of a fuse had never been demanded.

Fuses submitted by three other companies all exploded with great violence on test, but Mr. Downes' "cylinder link" device

operated quietly and effectively-leading to a good contract.

The inventor also developed a cut-out for high tension Jines to replace the cart­ridge type fuse. Tested all over the coun­try, it won final recognition for withstand­ing a severe trial at the Toronto Hydro­electric Company in Canada where the cur­rent flow reached 5000 amperes .

Governor John D . Lodge, delivering greetings on behalf of Connecticut, said that "out of the ideals nurtured on the campuses of America, out of the capacities for consecutive thought and constructive action which are developed in our college

Meanwhile Mr. Downes continued his classrooms, the American future will large­ly be fashioned-we do not want a future in which the draft board and the recruiting sergeant will be perpetual arbiters of the lives of American youth."

The Rt. Rev. Walter H. Gray, Bishop of Connecticut, declared that in founding Trinity without church control, the Epis­

He wrote many technical articles on electrical and protective devices.

On November 14, 1894, Mr. Downes married the late Miss Mary Lois Seagrave of Providence. They had no children.

The exercises concluded with Dr. Jacobs conferring the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws upon Mr. Babst, Senator Bush and Df. Johnson.

About 900 official delegates and friends, including Class Agents and Class Secre­taries representing the alumni, were en­tertained at a colorful luncheon in the Memorial Field House before the cere­mony.

The full text of the inaugural addresses is being printed for distribution to all alumni in June.

Sergeant Donn Fotheringham Porter, "53, has been posthumously awarded the nation's highest decoration, the Congres­sional Medal of Honor. · He was kiiJed in action near Heartbreak Ridge in Korea on September 7, 1952, after "an incredible display of valor." His medal is the fifty­ninth to be awarded "for heroism beyond the call of duty" during the Korean war. The action took place near a United Nations outpost at Mundung-ni in front of the 2'ith United States Division. Enemy bombardment on the outpost killed two of the five men stationed there and seriously wounded another. Porter and his surviv­ing companion undertook to beat off with rifle and machine guns the foiJowing as­sault from two Chinese platoons.

Their fire killed fifteen of the enemy who withdrew to reorganize. When they came forward again, Porter continued the defense until his rifle ammunition was ex­hausted, and then began to fling hand gren­ades over the parapet.

Although now wounded, Porter climbe ­out and with bayonet fixed to his rifle rushed into the oncoming Chinese. Dodg­ing and thrusting, he killed six more of the enemy and soon routed the rest. As he was coming back to safety, an artillery burst struck and instantly killed him.

The noise of the attack around the out­post had alerted adjacent outposts and the Americans in the main line were ready for the principal Chinese attack which was delivered a few minutes later.

Donn, a member of the Class of 1953, remained at CoiJege for only one year. He enlisted in the Army in February of 195 I and trained as an airborne ranger at Fort Benning, Ga. He was sent overseas in November, 1951, and had been transferred to the 14th Infantry of the 25th Division.

Specializing in adolescent psychology, he contributed numerous articles to edu­cation journals. He was a member of the American National Society for Study of Ecjucation, and Phi Beta Kappa fraternity.

PERCY WILLIAM CLIFFORD, 1944

Percy Clifford was born in Terryville, Conn., June 25, 1920, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Clifford. His death came on April 2, 1953 as the result of an automobile accident. Surviving, besides his parents, are his wife, Mrs. Norma Tallmadge Clifford and two sons, Thomas A. and Philip E. Clifford, and a brother, Earl E. Clifford.

Percy Clifford entered Trinity in Sep­tember 1940 from Farmington High School. He remainded here until Febru­ary 1942, when he joined the Army Air Corps. I remember Percy best on the athletic fields because we played basketball and had a couple of P.E. classes together. He was always most personable, ready with a smile, but at the same time a good competitor. As a student Percy always had good marks. He certainly was well known and liked by his classmates.

After joining the Army Air Force, Percy was commissioner a 2nd Lieut. and was an instructor in instrument flying. He retained his interest in the service after discharge, becoming State Adjutant o'f the AMVETS. He was also a member of the Farmington Grange.

After the War, Percy went to Yale from which he graduated as an engineer. He was employed by I;Iubbard, Lawless and Blakeley Co. of New Haven as an electrical engineer.
