INTRODUCTION, ANALYSIS, AND COMMENTARY by Bob Redpath

 

INTRODUCTION

The architectural footprints of the Class of 1954 stride from downtown New Haven to the Yale campus, to the Yale Bowl and its surrounds, and out as far as Derby[1]: buildings which serve as visible reminders of the unparalleled financial contributions of our class to Yale. However, there are also less visible contributions to Yale: our published contributions. These two volumes include the lists of publications of two hundred and sixty-seven members of the Class of 1954, published during the sixty-three years since our graduation in 1954.

Yale gets credit for honing our writing skills, whether in Daily Themes, or under the stern tutelage of a history professor who restricted our term papers to just two pages, double-spaced, or by staying up until 2 a.m. to put the OCD[2] to bed. And, perhaps, our experiences on Science Hill provided us with the research-encouraging environment that inspired us to carry out medical research that strived to alleviate human suffering and scientific research leading to the discovery of the origin of the universe.  Perhaps the vexed town-gown relationships during our Yale years inspired some of us to go into politics or the social sciences. Perhaps singing in one of the many octets for which Yale is famous inspired us to create a folk song record. Perhaps seeing Broadway premieres at the Shubert inspired us to go into entertainment. These few examples do not exhaust all the influences of our Yale experiences.

So, thank you, Yale, for your gifts to us. In return, herein are our published contributions to scientific knowledge, the business world, politics, religion, philosophy, English and American literature, to history, to entertainment, to our families, to ourselves and, yes, contributions to Yale; for what we have published reflects well on our education during our bright college years of 1950-1954.

Inspiration for the project

 The inspiration for this project took place in Pierson College during our 60th Reunion when Mike Stanley handed out copies of his poetry book [3] and Dick Hiers, Russ Reynolds, and I thought it would be a good idea to compile the lists of publications since graduation of the members of the Class of 1954. Joe Reed had compiled a list of publications by classmates in his article in the 25th Reunion Year Book[4], but there had been no attempt to bring this up to date. Joe’s lists are incorporated in these two volumes.


At a meeting on November 19, 2015, the Class Council unanimously voted to approve and finance the project; the aim was to collect the lists of publications of classmates with the intention of compiling the lists in a volume (or volumes) to be placed in the Class of 1954 file in the Sterling Memorial Library. I, an amateur in matters of bibliography, perhaps too rashly agreed to head the project and to be Chairman of the Publications Committee. Carl Shedd, with his inestimable experience in publications for our class[5], agreed to be on the committee.

Carl encouraged me to invest in a copy of The Chicago Manual of Style[6]. “It’s all in there,” he said.  All too true. Two years later I realize that creating a bibliography is a professional skill, made more demanding because bibliographic styles differ between professions. This accounts for the variety of bibliographic styles in these volumes.

Definition of ‘publication’

We did not formally define publication at the outset but wanted to be as all-inclusive as possible. An operational definition evolved during the course of the project and included the following: books already published and books about to be published; self-published books and articles; articles in journals; articles in newspapers; letters to editors; op-eds; maps: research reports; conference papers; musical compositions; records; cd’s; videos;  movies; television series; art objects; and patents. We tried, not always successfully, to exclude book reviews and abstracts.

Mass mailing

In December 2015, a letter signed by Russ Reynolds and myself, was sent out in a mass mailing by the Alumni Office to all living members of the Class of 1954. Classmates were asked to send their lists of publications to Kim Lambertson, Russ’s personal assistant. Classmates were not asked to conform to a particular style of presentation, as this might lower response.[7]

Kim monitored response to the mass mailing. By the time she left the project in March 2016, eighty classmates had either sent in their lists or promised to do so. We had no idea of how many classmates had published and hence did not know whether this was a good response. However, it was likely that there were many more classmates who had not responded.  This was for the next stage. At this point, Anne W. Semmes, a feature writer, joined me as co-editor.

 Internet research

The top priority was to contact the widows of our deceased classmate who had not been contacted by the mass mailing. The Alumni Office provided us with a list of widows. Most widows who we contacted were very appreciative of the project and felt that their husbands would be pleased to know that they were being commemorated in this way;  but, with two notable exceptions[8], most widows were not able to provide lists of their husbands’ publications.


At this point, we might have decided to cut our losses and call a halt to the project. However, by chance, Melissa Gasparotto, a Rutgers University librarian, recommended the website worldcat.org. as a research source. My son, Ian, a research psychologist,  suggested Google Scholar as another source. These two sources opened up the possibility of extending the project further by research through the internet.

Using these two sources we searched the internet for publications for every classmate in Friendships the Yale Class of 1954 our Fiftieth Reunion. This resulted in one hundred and eighty- seven additional lists.

Table 1 below shows the response rates for the different stages.

Table 1 Response rates Nos. %

Lists obtained by internet research
     Deceased 97 36
     Non-respondents to mass mailing 90 34
     Subtotal (Internet research) 187 70
Grand total 267 100

List of publications were obtained for two hundred and sixty-seven classmates. [9] Eighty classmates (30%) responded to the mass mailing. One hundred and eighty-seven lists (70%) were constructed by internet research.  Of these, there were ninety-seven deceased classmates and ninety classmates who had not responded to the mass mailing It was often possible to contact the latter group who then confirmed their lists. However, this was not possible in all cases.  Therefore, there may be errors which come to light, necessitating additions or corrections.

ANALYSIS

One of the aims of this project has been to try to achieve one hundred percent coverage of all publications by all classmates who have published at least one publication since we graduated.   It would be rash to claim that this has been totally achieved; it is absolutely predictable that some classmates have been omitted, not purposely, of course. Even so, the coverage goes beyond those who replied to the mass mailing and also is not limited to lists of books published. Because the coverage is almost one hundred per cent of all publications by our class, it was thought that dividing publications by subject area might reveal different publications patterns for different subjects.

Publications were allocated to nineteen sections, based on the subject area of the publication. Additionally, there are three sections which relate to outside interests: Family History; Second Careers/Hobbies, and Yale. The Yale section (20) includes essays by classmates taken from the 50th and 60th Reunion books by Carl Shedd.[10]

Table 2 shows the numbers of publications per section subject, ranked in descending order. The number of contributors is included in parentheses. The most notable feature is that Medicine (34%) and Sciences (19%) account for fifty-three percent of total publications (7978); even though the number of contributors (Medicine, 51; Scientists, 22) represents only twenty-four percent of all contributors (309). This suggests that doctors and scientists publish more than other professions; however, the general impression when compiling the lists was that doctors and scientists published more often by articles than by books. This is illustrated in Table 3.

Published contributions were mainly by articles rather than by books, regardless of subject. Doctors and scientists showed the highest proportions (96% and 95%) who communicated by articles, followed by music (94%) and government (92%). At the other end of the spectrum, historians and publishers published the lowest proportions of articles (55% and 53%). In between these extremes, there was a range of between eighty-eight and sixty-eight percent proportions of total publications accounted for by articles.

(12) The total number of contributors (309) exceeds the total number of respondents (267) because some classmates contributed to more than one subject area. I have not shown the average numbers of publications per contributor per subject because the averages would be inflated by the impressively large lists of publications of Spaeth (Medicine); Willis (Physics); Lucier (Music); and Thornburgh (Government). Median number of publications per contributor per subject area would be the appropriate measure. However,  if these four outliers are eliminated, scientists and doctors still show the highest rates of publication with, on average, forty-three and forty publications during their careers.


COMMENTARY

The remainder is a section-by-section commentary on individual contributions within each section, following the order in Table 3.

Medicine

Associate professor Dr. Cecil (Pete) Coggins confirms that articles by doctors were typically short in length, produced often, and were aimed to inform research colleagues about progress in research: “The articles say, in effect, this is what we’re doing and this is where we’re at in our research.” Dr.  Harold (Hal) Douglass says, “We don’t just write about what we’re doing right; we also wrote about what didn’t work.” Dr. Alan Toole, when asked what gave him most satisfaction, says “It’s all about research.”

Coggins also confirms that there was a predilection to research due to the encouragement that existed during his undergraduate pre-med years. “Yale is a Research University, in the group of universities in the country with the highest research activity.  All the up-to-date research was available to us during our pre-med course.”

So, there is likely to be a link between the encouragement that pre-med majors in our class received to carry out medical research during their undergraduate years and the research they carried out during their careers, as indicated in the numbers of doctors who published, witness their lists. The lists in Section 21 typify a high intensity communication network of  short articles which appear frequently,  contain arcane terminology meant for other specialist in their field, and report research progress.[13]

Sciences

Table 3 showed that ninety-five percent of the publications of scientists were through articles; and it is highly likely that communication between scientists is similar to that between doctors,  i.e., through short, frequent articles informing colleagues about in one’s specialism about research progress.

There is a wide variety of specialisms in the Sciences section: Kenneth Bick and Andrew Spieker were geologists; Thomas Briggs carried out chemical research; Edward Donnellan and Donald Eagle were medical physicists; John Drake specialized in molecular genetics.

 Malcolm Forbes eventually became  Vice President for Academic Affairs in two institutions, but also contributed two articles for The Journal of the Chemical Society. Malcolm Specht carried out aerial photographic research for Eastman Kodak; Russell Voisin was Vice President of the World Atlas Division at Rand McNally.

The academic world was well represented with professorships as follows: Biology (John Miller and Norman Wessells); Chemistry (Frank Mallory; Robert McWade, and Edmund Weaver) Natural History (Peter Robinson) Physics (Frank Kolp and William Willis); and Science (Richard Novick).

The list of Professor William (Bill) Willis runs to six hundred and thirty-eight articles, which among other areas, chart the progress leading to the discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider. The Columbia obituary for Professor William (Bill) Willis described him as a towering presence in the development of particle physics and instrumental in the discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider. Between 1964 and 1973 he was a member of the Yale faculty.

Peter Roll was a member of a team of physicists at Princeton University that published an article “Cosmic Black-Body Radiation” which explained the origins of the universe and which had more citations (982) that any other article in this project. Peter explained that anyone writing about the origins of the universe is bound to quote this article—hence the large number of citations.

Robert Mercer was a research science consultant who specialized in geoastronomical observations, i.e. orbital science photography. His articles refer to observations on the Apollo 14 and Apollo 16 flights.


[(13)] The following are the specialisms which were identified: allergist (Hadley); cardiologist (Shelburne); cardiac surgeon (Matloff and Toole),case management  (Steinberg),cytogeneticist (Gromults), dentist (Joy); dermatologist (Burnett, Kindell); emergency and outpatient services (Pendagast); endocrinologist (Bransome); hand surgeon (Sandzen); hematologist/pathologist (Cornwell and Jenkins); infectious diseases (Jacoby and Kislak); internal medicine (Barbee and Galton) US Naval Medical Corps (Flynn), nephrologist (Coggins, Roberts); neurologist (Blankfein, Marcus and Swanson); neurosurgeon (Landau), obstetrician (Hawkinson), oncologist (Snyder and Sweedler); ophthalmologist (Jarrett and Spaeth); otologist (Gallagher); pathologist (James and Jones); pediatrician (Cooper and Phillips); pediatric radiologist (Pritzger) plastic surgeon (Foerster, Stanley); psychiatrist (Seides); radiologist (Radcliffe); stroke/trauma and neurodegenerative disorders (Walker); surgeon (Saltzstein, Slanetz, and Tracey); surgical; oncologist (Douglass).


Music

Walter Farrier composed choral and vocal compositions, mainly sacred, as well as service music compositions and arrangements. He also arranged liturgical music for instruments, and often  crossed the divide between liturgical and secular music, with arrangements such as “Fight, Bearcats Fight” (the Willamette University football song) “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “Life is Just a Bowl” and “Ditty for Decrepit Duke’s Men” (for Yale Duke’s Men reunions).

Dick Gregory composed “Risela’s Choice (a one act operetta), “Artemis Undone” (one act opera buffa), “The Bourgeois Gentleman,” “The Wyfe,” a two-act musical comedy based on Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, as well as numerous sacred and secular choral works, some of which have not been performed.

Alfred Loeffler wrote a wide range of original compositions, including a number of sonatas for strings and piano. What caught the eye was Love’s Labour’s Lost –an Opera in Three Acts; The

Rules for Courtly Love, and Appalachian Melodies compositions. Al’s wife, Nancy, is still involved with Avera Music Press, where Al’s compositions can be obtained.

Alvin Lucier wrote a textbook for his course, Music 109 at Wesleyan University: Music 109: Notes on Experimental Music, which probably serves as the best background for his impressive list of publications of experimental music. The titles alone rouse one’s curiosity about the sounds produced by an extraordinary variety of instruments.  The list makes a good read.

Mason Martens specialized in choral arrangements of liturgical music, as well as an arrangement of Vivaldi’s Gloria.

Peter Roll, physicist, whose publication about the origin of the universe (see Section 21) appeared in the Sciences section, made a career change from astronomical physics to the physics  of instrumental and human acoustics.

 Government

Michael (Mike)  Armstrong, Assistant District Attorney in charge the Securities Fraud Office in South Eastern District of New York, wrote about white collar conviction cases as well as They Wished They Were Honest; The Knapp Commission, and New York City Police.

 Bobo Dean specialized in Native American legal issues and helped develop a tribal code of law for the Mississippi band of the Choctaw Indians. Bobo also wrote about contracting under Title 1 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act.

John (Jerry) Hawke worked for a private law firm and then was talent-spotted to become US Under-Secretary of the Treasury from 1995 – 1998, followed by becoming Comptroller of the Currency from 1998 to 2004. His articles cover a wide range of monetary issues: banking expansion. Bank secrecy, bank regulation, the impact of the electronic age on banking.

Philip (Phil) Heymann (see also Law) wrote an essay in Friendships entitled “Pleasures in Public Service: Sometimes Chance and Luck Help.” about his experiences working in the government  under mentors like Archie Cox at Justice and Nicholas Katzenbach at State and  heading up the Criminal Division in the Carter administration.

Jay Janis, a former under-secretary of the Department of Urban Development in the Carter Administration, wrote about model cities and meeting the national housing goal. His papers are included in the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum.

James Kirkham was seconded from his private practice to head up the Commission on Violence in Washington after the assassination of Robert Kennedy; his report, Assassination and Political Violence: A Report to the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence, in 1970 was later made available in a book published by Chelsea House (1983).

William Kitzmiller, former Staff Director of the House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee, wrote two books: Citizen Action, Vital Force for Change and Environment and The Law: Ecocide and Thoughts Toward Survival.

Robert (Bob) Martin’s list includes an article about the Foreign Service (FS) as a career and also an interview with him about his varied career in the FS, which is  lodged in the Foreign Service Oral History section of the  Library of Congress.

Kenneth (Ken) McDonald was Chief Historian of the Central Intelligence Agency from 1981 to 1995. He was editor of CIA Cold War Records Series, was co-author (with Michael Warner) of US Intelligence Community Reform Studies Since 1947, and  co-author (with Michael Herman and Vojtech Mastny) of Did Intelligence Matter in the Cold War?

Richard Murphy served as a legislative assistant to Hugh Scott, Senator of Pennsylvania and also was a lobbyist. He wrote two articles, one about lobbies as an information source for Congress and the other about Ukraine’s eight years of independent statehood.

Edward O’Brien, secretary to Governor Foster Furculo (MA), was the editor of Public Addresses and Messages of Governor Foster Furculo.

Michael (Mike) Pertschuk was Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (1964-1977) and then became Commissioner from 1977-1984, His publications during these two periods include statements before various Congressional committees, including his special cause, increasing trade regulation of advertising to children, a cause he admitted he did not win. In 1984, Mike left governmental service to become the founder of an advocacy institute.[14] Thereafter, his books include Revolt Against Regulation: The Rise and Pause of the Consumer Movement (1982); Giant Killers (1986); Smoke in their Eyes: Lessons in Movement Leadership from the Tobacco Wars (2001); The DeMarco Factor: Transforming Public Will into Political Power (2010); and most recently, When the Senate Worked for Us: The Invisible Role of Staff in Countering Corporate Lobbies. (2017)

Robert (Bob) Redpath, a Principal Social Survey Officer in the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys of the UK government, specialized in household budget and food consumption surveys for the United Kingdom.  He also carried out surveys to estimate demand for higher education and mature students’ expenditure patterns in England and Wales. Results appeared in governmental reports published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office.

.Kirk Rodgers, former director of Sustainable Development and Environment for the Organization of American States, wrote Economic and Social Integration of Central Peru, Survey for the Development of the Guayas River Basin of Ecuador, as well as a number of articles about concepts of environmental management in Latin America.

Richard (Dick) Thornburgh had a long and distinguished career in governmental service: as Governor of Pennsylvania (1979-1987); United States Attorney General (1988-1992), and Under-Secretary of the United Nations (1992-1993). His list, taken from the archive in his name at the University of Pittsburgh, comprises four hundred and fourteen publications, fifty-eight percent of the publications in the Government section. Dick recommends his autobiography, Where the Evidence Leads, as the best source for anyone interested in reading about his career.

Malcolm (Mal) Wallop was a rancher, was related to British aristocracy, and was Senator for Wyoming for three terms (1977-1995). He was also founder of Frontiers for Freedom, based in Fairfax, VA; the papers written for Frontiers for Freedom can be obtained by contacting that organization. The full collection of Mal’s papers are archived in the American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming.  The main source of his papers, written over thirty-two years, is in Malcolm Wallop Papers, 1965-1997. His range of interests (environment, child poverty, defense,  arms control, centralization of power, etc.) is reflected in his list of publications. He co-authored The Arms Control Delusion.

His essay in Friendships (‘Taking Stock in Growth: Removing Obstacles, and Tackling the Near Impossible’) is the only publication we could find for Richard (Dick) Gilder.  There is an oblique reference in his essay[41] to the pressure Dick successfully put on Yale to allow our class to control the investment strategy for our 50th Reunion gift fund, which actually achieved the ‘near-impossible’ and led to the creation of two buildings on the Yale campus named after the Class of 1954.

Charles (Charlie) Johnson was CEO and Chairman from 1957 to 2012 of Franklin Templeton Investments of San Mateo, CA.

Harris Coulter graduated from Yale in Russian Studies, was fluent in six languages and earned a Master’s Degree in Political Science and a PhD. from Columbia University. He then made a radical change in direction and began to specialize in the history of homeopathic medicine and ultimately became an advocate against vaccination. With Barbara Lee Fisher, he wrote what she described as “the first major, well documented book examining the scientific and clinical evidence that vaccination can and does cause brain inflammation, permanent brain damage and death for some.”[43] Harris’s list includes forty books about homeopathic medicine, its history and its practice.

Standish (Stan) Meacham, Sheffield Centennial Professor, Emeritus in the Department of History, is joint author of Western Civilization. However, hisbooks and articles  concentrated on nineteenth and early twentieth century English history: articles and books about individuals (“Henry Thornton and the conscience of Clapham;” “Priestley in America;” Lord Bishop: The Life of Samuel Wilberforce, 1805-1873; Paul Martin, Victorian Photographer.); as well as articles about the  English working class: “The sense of an impending clash: English working-class unrest before the First World War;” “Engels, Manchester and the working class;” and Life Apart: the English working class 1890-1914.

The long  list of Gaddis Smith, Larned Professor Emeritus of History, includes books,[45] which concentrate on American political issues and personalities in the latter half of the twentieth century, which endows the books with historical immediacy.  Gaddis wrote the chapter about

Dean Acheson in The American Secretaries of State and their Diplomacy series. His list of articles reflects his prolific writing production, perhaps not exceptional for a former Editor of the Yale Daily News; however, part of the picture is missing because Gaddis churned out numerous book reviews which have not been included.[46] There were audio books about US relations with China made in 1974 and 1976 and a VHS video which Gaddis participated in the Yale GreatTeacher series, entitled Turning Points in American Foreign Relations. Gaddis also has written about Yale during the twentieth century and the Yale Law School. (see Yale)

[12] The total number of contributors (309) exceeds the total number of respondents (267) because some classmates contributed to more than one subject area. I have not shown the average numbers of publications per contributor per subject because the averages would be inflated by the impressively large lists of publications of Spaeth (Medicine); Willis (Physics); Lucier (Music); and Thornburgh (Government). Median number of publications per contributor per subject area would be the appropriate measure. However,  if these four outliers are eliminated, scientists and doctors still show the highest rates of publication with, on average, forty-three and forty publications during their careers.
