Robert Walsh, '52
Elected Chairman
OfConstitutionGroup
At the initial meeting of the
Constitutional Committee, held
on Tuesday evening, February
26, in Xavier Hall, Robert Walsh,
'52, was elected as chairman to
preside over the activities of the
recently activated Student Asso­ciation
Constitution Committee.
Walsh, a married veteran of
World War II, resides in Bridge­port
and by virtue of his mem­bership
on the Student Council
for four years is a logical choice
for the position. He is president
of the Dixieland Music Appre­ciation

The Athletic Board of Fairfield University has
ruled that, in accordance with the policy now in effect,
the Red Stags will not take part in any post season
tournament activity.
The Board's Decision was
based on what was termed as a
sound educational approach to
Collegiate Sports and amounts
to a "de-emphasis." The inten­tion
of the University to remain
out of any post season activity
was made known to the district
officials of the National Associa­tion
of Intercollegiate Basketball
earlier in the season. At that
time, the NAIB officials had ten­tatively
recommended that Fair­field
be a participant in this
year's play-off.
The Athletic Board is listed in
the May 1951 Catalogue on page
seven, and its members, there
listed are The Dean of Men, Rev.
Thomas F. Lyons, S.J., as Chair­man,
Father Gerald Kinsella, S.
J., and Mr. Perrault.
At the time the NAItB officials
were tentatively considering
Fairfield, Jim Hanrahan's five
had a record of five and five.
The NAIB Tourney is now in
progress at Colby, Maine, with
Colby, Providence ColI e g e,
American International of
Springfield, and Bridgeport U.

Student Council Pays Dues;
Accepted Into NFCCS
The Student Council has in­structed
Treasurer Tim Cronin
to pay a bill from the National
Office of the NFCCS, amounting
to 80.00. The bill is payment
for the national dues of the or­ganization,
which the Council
joined by virtue of an unani­mous
vote on February 26, 1952.
Council members informed the
Stag that membership in the na­tional
organization had been
planned for many weeks and
that Council action awaited the
receipt of the bill. The recent
payment of $1.00 per student to
the Student Fund has made this
action financially possible.
John Relihan, President of the
Public Affairs Club, is now the
official National, Senior Delegate
to the NFCCS. He has long
championed the work of the or­ganization
on this campus, and
has endeavored to make Fair­field
well known in college
circles throughout New England.

feel that it will succeed. We know that there is a good

Spoke at Commencement
Governor Lodge, who make
his home in Westport, is no
stranger to Fairfield University.
He was one of the main com­mencement
speakers last June,
when he and Mrs. Lodge were
guests of the University. Famous
throughout New England for his
straightforward and hard hit­ting
speeches, the Governor is
much in demand for all oc­casions.
This dinner is the latest in a
series which was begun by the
Business Club, under the direc­tion
of its moderators, Mr. James
Liebke and Mr. Thomas Fitz­patrick,
last year. The officers of
the club as well as its moder­ators
look with pride at the ac­complishments
of the past year
and believe that the Business
Club will continue to be one of
the more active and more edu­cational
clubs of the University.
it was Father Farkos who ar­ranged
the custodian's job for
Alois through Father Mahan.
Alois attends the evening ses­sions
at Bassick High School
where he is quickly adapting
himself to the American lan­guage
and way of living.
He is a happy little fellow
who took much abuse and was
the butt of many a practical
joke here at Fairfield. Almost
every student who thought he
knew the slightest bit of Ger­man
tried to flaunt his know­ledge
by throwing his particular
"deutsch colloquies" at the poor
unsuspecting boy. The student
would stand there with a "My!
what a smart boy am I" expres­sion
on his face and wait for
Alois, who was now totally con­fused,
to bow down in admira­tion
of his versatility. I once
heard one student tell him "The
inn keeper let the horse out of
the red barn." I'll admit, it was
real German, but I'll also admit
it is rather difficult to fit into
conversation, especially in our
cafeteria.
Last week, Alois left Fairfield
University to start work as a
bus boy at the Hotel Barium. I
feel sure that it will be a long
time before the Administration
can find another man that will
be able to fill his shoes. He was,
and is without doubt, the hard­est
working little fellow I have
ever seen. No matter how much
he had to do, he always tried
to be friendly and never gave
cause for anyone to dislike
him. He has ,the makings of a
great Americ,an and perhaps
some day you and I may be
asking him fayors.
Fairfield University, its facul­ty,
students and employees wish
Alois Rednak the best of every­thing
in the future years if only
because he justly deserves it.
made me feel quite good inside
and have more than lifted me
above the clouds; but I would
ask you in giving praise, do not
direct that praise at one person
but remember all of those who
have worked twice as hard. In
the past few days I have been
placed in a category along with
"DeMille and Ziegfeld," students
have stopped me on the corridor
and have said, "Well done!",
everyone has shown me that I
have gained a success; now, I
hope, I have shown you that it
was not my success but one for
my fellow workers. They have
proven and have shown to you
that the pathway to this success
is cooperation right down the
line, they have left you a pattern
to follow, in brief, they have
shown you how to "work toge­ther."
Follow their example and
no one need ever fail. There
is one last request before I close
and I entreat you to grant it.
When greeting me, remember
the name is still "Rudy," and,
when handing out bouquets, say
it this way, "You have certainly
worked with a wonderful group
of men."
Sincerely yours,
Rudy Girandola
In September, a new Fresh­man
class joined the student
body at Fairfield University.
Most of them stepped into the
halls of their college careers out
of the doorways of high schools
or prep schools, more or less pre­pared
to meet the challenge of
higher education. Among them
was a boy singled out from all
the rest. He was not dressed in
the usual college attire and, to
look at his young features, one
would have mistaken him for a
Prep School student - certainly
not a college freshman. Soon it
was realized that he was not en­rolled
as a student, but as a
custodian. His name-Alois Red­nak.
Alois was born in 1936 in
Wollan, Yugoslavia. There, he
resided with his mother, father,
four sisters and one brother. He
began his education in 1942 at
Skalis grammar school in Wol­Ian.
In 1944 his short-lived edu­cational
career ended while in
the second grade, when the
Nazis closed the school for occu­pation
headquarters.
A year or so later, with guer­illa
warfare on all sides, Alois
left with father, mother, two sis­ters
(as two were married and
lived in Wollan), and brother,
for Austria. There his father and
brother were employed at Lich­tenstein
Castle in Deutchlands­berg.
The castle, named after its
owner, a nobleman, was occu­pied
by the Allied Forces at the
end of the war.
Alois resumed his schoolin'g in
1947, in the second grade. How­ever,
because of his ability to
learn quickly, by 1950 he had
entered high school.
In October of last year, Alois
and his family sailed for Ameri­ca
on the General Stuart. He
arrived in New York and spent
"two wonderful days" at the
Hotel Wellington. There, a Fath­er
Farkos got in touch with them
and brought Alois and the rest
of the family to Bridgeport,
where they now reside. Again,
... ALOIS REDNAK ••.

The men on the constitution committee are doing
a job for the future. The fruits of their work will not
be seen this year, possibly not even next year. But the
tempering of their personal feelings, the objectivity
with which they look at issues, and the way in which
the administration considers their proposals, all these
things wiN leave an indelible mark on what we have
come to know as "Fairfield University."
Usually letters written by an
alumnus are congratulatory and
full of well wishing, but this one
will be entirely different.

of all those involved in the pro­ject,
working together and real­izing

This is exactly the kind of
spirit I have had to work with.
This is what flashes across my
mind as a fellow student presses
my hand in an expression of

various committees who stay in
the background and get the least

officers busily engaged in pro­moting
and doing all they can

hope will indirectly benefit their
classmates. I see the men in the

energy unselfishly, doing every­thing
possible to gain that meas­ure
of success which we strive
for. An example of this unsel­fishness
could be clearly viewed
by all as Senior cast members
gave out with a display of ex­cellent
talent for a Junior affair.
All of these thoughts push
through my mind and pull at
my heart and make me feel rath­er
guilty in accepting the hand

are too quick to praise or
even too quick to criticize.

Carry It With
You -- Always
By JAMES CONVERY
We men of Fairfield Univer­sity
are far more fortunate than
we realize. All the reasons sub­stantiating
this fact can be sum­med
up in one short sentence.
"We go to a Catholic College."
It can get so that after a short
while we take the Catholic
Church for granted and it is in
doing this that we can err.
Being members of the group
of people that are called "edu­cated
Catholics" we have certain
responsibilities that we must ac­cept
as ours. One of these re­sponsibilities
is to have a proper
perspective of the Catholic
Church and her position in the
world today. It is not every­where
in the world that people
have an opportunity to associ­ate
with Catholic priests as we
do here at Fairfield University.
In the Trieste territory which
is under Yugoslav administra­tion,
there has been since 1945,
uninterrupted manifestations of
hatred toward religion. The Rev.
Gaetano Tumia of Umago, after
72 periods of questionings by the
police who tried to intimidate
him into becoming a spy, was
forced to fiee to Trieste for his
safety. Countless numbers of
priests have been thrown into
prison, where some receive "oc­casional
beatings." Religious
ceremonies have come to a halt
and the situation is so bad that
"new parishes remain without
clergy while people beg for the
assignment of priests which the
Yugoslav authorities illegally
impede." The number of priests
in this territory has been re­duced
to less than one-third of
what it was in 1945.
This is not the only instance
where reoresentatives and mem­bers
of the church have been
persecuted. It is prevalent to
some degree in almost every
country in the world. In fact,
"Men of Fairfield," there have
been more people persecuted in
the vain effort to sack Chris­tianity
in the last thirty years
than there were in its first 300
years of existence. Let us not
then take our Catholic Church
for granted, for in doing so, we
commit an error that is all too
common among "educated Cath­olics."

Candidates completing the
summer program are then eligi­ble

upon the request of a su­perintendent
and will be eligible
for teaching positions. The can­didates
are offered professional
advice and guidance throughout
their first year of teaching by

candidates must continue cours­es

initial program of study.
Additional information con­cerning

COUNCIL-NFCCS
Continued from Page 1
Known familiarly, as the "mas­ter
politician," Relihan has
worked for two years on all as­pects
of this organization. Reli­han's
work was officially recog­nized
this past fall, when Fair­field
was granted an NFCCS
commission, The Family Life
Commission, which has as its
chairman, Jim Aspinwall.
Tim Cronin is the junior dele­gate,
as he has worked along
with Mr. Relihan since the be­ginning
of the school year. An­other
delegate may be appointed,
if and when the Regional Treas­urer
makes up his mind as to
whether Fairfield is entitled to
two or to three delegates. Re­gional
dues will be assessed
when said Treasurer "gets
around to it," and they can run
as high as $45.00. That will re­quire
an additional appropria­tion
from the Student Fund.

the master, and he wr,apped up
the final three games and the
championship for 1952.
Bob Steele is again the Ping­pong
champion of Fairfield Uni­versity
having whipped Charlie
McGould 4-1 in the finals to
capture the crown. With a de­vastating
forehand slam and a
great backhand slice Steele had
defeated Smith, Quick and Ca­mas
in one day to gain entry
to the semi-finals. In the semi­finals
he was matched against
Ray Keogh where he turned the
match into a rout ,taking ,three
straight.
McGould, a Freshman and the
dark horse of the tournament
upset one opponent after an­other
to gain entrance to the
finals. In the preliminary round
he knocked out Coiley, taking 2
out of three. He then met and
defeated O'Conner, and upset
Ross Whelan ,taking three
straight.
The first game of the finals
went to Steele 21-18, but Mc­Gould
came back strong to win
the next game by the same score.'

By BOB JOY
Fairfield's Red Stags ring down the curtain on
their 1951-52 basketball season tomorrow night, when
they playa strong University of Bridgeport five in the
Armory.
A win will brighten a medio­cre
season for the Stags who en­ter
the game with a record of
9-9. The Purple Knights, on the
other hand, are closing their
best campaign in history; sport
a 20-5 record and have accept­ed
a bid to the NAlB tourna­ment
to be held at Colby Col­lege
in Waterville, Maine. In a
previous game this season the
power of the Purple prevailed
to the tune of a 85-66 score.
The Fairfielders have improv­ed
greatly in the past several
games, however, and are given a
much better chance to turn back
the UB hoopsters tomorrow eve­ning.
Freshmen Fred Lane and
Bob Gerwien have really come
into their own during the past
month and along with such vet­eran
stars as Joe Kehoe and
Stan Suchenski are expected to
give a good account of them­selves
in the season's finale.

Fairfield University's Red
Stags won two out of their last
three contests to draw Ul) to the
.500 mark, with a reco~d of 9
wins and 9 defeats. On Friday,
February 22, Jim Hanrahan's
charges smashed Arnold, 104-69
on the Armory court. Last Wed­nesday
they upset Providence
College in Providence, 68-67. On
Friday, minus the services of
Stan Suchenski and Bobby Mar­kovic,
the Stags were defeated
by the New York Athletic Club
64-62.
Fairfield's Red Stags ran wild
Friday night at the armory and
smothered the Arnold Terriers
104-69. Fred Lane led the scoring
----------------------------..... , with 23 points, followed closely
by Bob Gerwein with 22.
The score at halftime was 44­32
and still a comparatively close
ball game. However, in the third
quarter the Stags broke loose
and ran roughshod over the out­classed
Arnold five.
Against Providence, the Men
in Red played a brilliant offen­sive
contest, with O'Connell
sparking the Jesuit forces to the
win with 18 points, all posted
in the second half via one hand
push shots. Gerwien followed
closely with 17, while Lane and
Markovic aided the cause with
12 and 11 respectively.
Moran's 20 tallies was the best
individual performance for the
Friars, and Jim Schlimm and
Tom Prendergast were next in
line with 18 each.
Lead Shifts Often
The winners held a 21-13 lead
at the end of the first period,
while at the end of the first half,
the Providence team was in the
van, 33-32. Fairfield led at the
start of the final 10 minutes of
play, 52-48, mainly through the
push shots of O'Connell, the
team's outstanding frosh eager.
He garnered the first six points
gained by Fairfield in the third
period.
Fairfield's floor play was hurt
severely with only four minutes
and 15 seconds elapsed in the
second half when Kehoe was
fouled out of the tilt.

flock to the Armory for this big game, but tomor­row

This one event will take away from the attendance,
but Friday was the only available night that the
Armory was available.
It remains then, for all those who are able and
who are not obliged to attend the concert to come
to this game. The team has played an extremely
hard schedule, and has managed to acquit itself
rather well. Your support tomorrow night will
be an indication of your gratitude.
From the Editors of The Stag, to Coach Han­rahan
and his squad: Congratulations for your work
this season, and good luck tomorrow night.
When you read this, I hope you will realize that this is
strictly my own opinion. I think that it was unfortunate that
Fairfield ran above the century mark against Arnold. Naturally
it is fine to beat a team decisively, and to leave no doubt about
who is the victor, but then again a little mercy should be shown
to an outclassed rival. Earlier in the season Arnold played three
of the top teams in the country, (Villanova, St. John's, and Seton
Hall) and there was no doubt about who was the better team.
However, at no time did the score hit the century mark. By the
same token it was not long ago that Fairfield was at the mercy
of quite a few teams on the schedule, and in all those games we
were never humiliated by having 100 or more points scored
against us.
In conclusion, some day in some sport, Arnold will have the
advantage over Fairfield, and if they rub it in, I wouldn't blame
them a bit. Possibly however, they might show us up even more
by being gentlemen and good sports, and not rubbing it in too
much.
NAMES AND NOTES
Andy McGowan of Manhattan is probably the best all around
player in New York city this year. His performance against
N.Y.U. was tremendous. He not only was the high scorer, but
. he held high scoring Dick Bunt to 9 points.
George Eastman, the track coach of Manhattan College, has
probably the strongest team in the history of intercollegiate
competition. The squad is so deep that his second string is
usually better than other colleges' first string. The result is that
Manhattan finishes one, two. in quite a few events.
Harmon Hoffman of Brooklyn Poly, who threw 38 points
against The Stags early in the season, has been averaging close
to 30 a game for the entire season. Against lona recently in the
Garden he made 28 points.
Jimmy Powers, popular N.Y. sports columnist, has the
whole state of Indiana ready to do him bodily harm. It seems
that he took the All American basketball players from one New
York high school. and compared them with the All American
players from the entire state of Indiana. Indiana is supposedly
the "hot bed" of basketball in the country. The reason behind
this battle of words seems to be the shoddy treatment accorded
St. John's University on their recent road trip in the west. They
defeated both Purdue and Indiana. on their home courts, and
the margin of victory proved that the games were not flukes.
Jack Kieley of Holy Cross has been playing against All
American Bob Zawaluk since high school days. Every time they
met Bob got the better of Ed, principally because he was always
a year ahead in experience. The jinx was finally broken last
week when Holy Cross defeated St. John's and Ed held Bob to
one field goal.
George Mikan of the Minneapolis Lakers could reach the
10,000th point of his basketball career this season.
Dick Savitt convinced a lot of skeptics when he won the
National Indoor Tennis championship in New York last week.
Frank Shields, the Davis cup team captain. was in attendance.
It was he, you will rem;ember, who did not pick Dick on the
Davis cup squad.
Bob Gerwin, Jack O'Connell and Fred Lane, the three Prep
school graduates who are now performing with the varsity, scored
47 points between them to lead our club to its biggest win of
the season against Providence. Incidentally it was the first vic­tory
registered over the Friars since we started relations with
them four seasons ago.
Since there are a record number of Catholic schools in the
National Invitation Tourney. it looks like an all-Catholic final. I'll
go out on a limb and pick the finalists as being Seton Hall and
St. Louis.
I'll sign off now and wish the boys lots of luck in tomorrov
night's tilt with Herb Glines' crew. The season will be a success
if we cop this one.

town, etc., ad nauseam. It cer­tainly
makes me marvel, that
ever apace with modern tech­nogical
developments, I, even if
unwittingly, have chosen to at­tend
that very latest of modern
educational developments, a
"chain" school.
If this attitude is nurtured
much longer I forsee a day
when even the name "FAIR­FIELQ"
may be dropped, and
something like "Branch No. 29"
substituted. I received a rude
s·hock one rainy afternoon
when, in one of the better
places off State street, an ex­hilirated
gentleman asked me
quite sincerely if FAIRFIELD
was a branch of Fordham. I
merely spluttered in indigna­tion.
Our traditions here may be
embryonic, and at times sub­ject
to ridicule, but I am a firm
supporter of them, precisely
because they ,are our traditions.
We have a student body, per­haps
not as cohesive as it
might be, but still one which
need not take a back seat, and
efface their scholastic individu­ality
by trying to melt indis­tinguishably
into a national
pattern.
In any case, I suppose that
even these elaborate treatises
on any school but FALRF'IELD
are far more preferable than
soppish exhortations, pmducts
of juvenile minds, about how
good this or that particular
phase of life here at FALRFIELD
is. If 'a thing is good, FAIR­FIELD
men with their mature,
well-developed intellects have
the capacity to perceive it as
such, and need no effusive pro­paganda
to convince them.

Campus Personalities
It was with some degree of
surprise that I learned that I
was attending ·a minor branch
in a chain of schools.
When I decided to attend
FAIRFIELD, naive lad that I
was, I wanted to attend a sepa­rate
scholastic entity, I wanted
to attend FAIRFIELD because
it was, in short, FAIRFIELD, if
you follow that cool reasoning.
As I progressed in wisdom and
impassibility (resistance to in­tellectual
prodding) in my first
three (3) years here I noticed
the gradual growth of an in­sidious
mass psychosis among
the students.
Modesty and self-retirement
are fine virtues, I give them my
unequivocal endorsement - but
there is after all, a proprietary
limit to them. When modesty
reaches the point where a stu­?
ent body in general deprecates
Its own school, then it's time for
a reassessment of values.
Many a Thursday morning I
have opened the slick pages of
-our very literate, collegIate
chronicle, looking forward to
c·atching up on our own school
news, only to be confronted
with elaborate floor plans for a
projected new dormitory at
East Overshoe U. Turning to
the next page I find an impres­sive
roster of influential gradu­ates
from Scrantonium U., re­plete
with the complete history
of that institution. Well, that's
all right, I'm 'always happy to
hear about other Jesuit schools.
Then I turn to the sports page
to see whats' new in athletic
competition at the school. Ap­parently
nothing is new at our
school, but there is plenty pop­ping
at Holy Cross, George-

fourth period, Moran came
through with a three-point play
to cut the lead to 60-55. O'Con­nell
then added a push shot, but
Schlimm tossed in a foul shot,
Moran a set, and Schlimm mesh­ed
another two-pointer. Lane
widened the gap for Fairfield to
66-60 on a driving layup, and
Moran followed very closely
with a foul.
What turned out to be the
winning basket was registered
by Frauenhofer with three min­utes
remaining, as the score­board
read 68-61 in favor of
Fairfield. Providence rounded
out its scoring on a field goal by
Schlimm and a pair of two­point
scores by Moran.
The Stags froze the ball the
remaining 75 seconds, and miss­ed
three free throws during this
period. Providence missed one
with 45 seconds remaining.
Three Records Set
Three new school records were
established against Arnold. The
104 points bested the previous
team single game mark of 95
posted against Brooklyn Poly in
the opening game of the season
at Brooklyn. The century mark
was gained via 40 field goals,
three better than the 37 regis­tered
against Williwantic State
Teachers in January, 1951, and
24 foul shots, one better than
the 23 posted against Poly.
Coach Jim Hanrahan's charg­es
took an early 4-0 lead at the
outset, as Kehoe and Gerwien
found the range, and they were
never headed. At the end of the
first period, Fairfield led by a
25-17 count. When the whistle
sounded for the end of the first
half, the margin was still eight
points, 44-32.
Collapse on Defense
Arnold fell apart completely
in the third canto, and Fairfield
substitutes were used frequent­ly.
The count at the start of the
final 10 minutes of action was
72-43.
Lane was the offensive star for
the Red Stags with 23 points.
Gerwien followed closely with
22, and Markovic, playing for
the longest period since his in­jury
in early January, connected
for 18. Suchenski and Kehoe
rounded out the double figure
performers with 11 and 10 tallies
respectively.
Lack of much needed height,
in the form of Stan Suchenski,
told the story as the STAGS
dropped a close, 64-62 decision
on Friday night in New York.
Fred Lane and Joe Kehoe
shared scoring honors for the
losers with 17 tallies each. Gerry
Smith tonned the New York
combine ~;ith 25 points.
The game was close through­out,
being tied 18-18 at the end
of the first period. The winners
were ahead 34-30 at the half,
46-44 at the end of the third
period, and went on to win by
the final two points, 64-62.

It seems that we have a few

"Taxation without representa­tion

cry and they are prepared to
fight to the death defending
their position. Live fast men, for
the student fee is here to stay.
I would like to see how far these
persons would get if they em­ployed
this same attitude to­wards
the Government income
tax. Probably they would get as
far as Alcatraz. Need of funds
to run the government was the
reason behind the U.S. income
tax and its enforcement. Like­wise
the need of funds for the
operation of the student govern­ment
here at Fairfield has neces­sitated
the levying of a student
tax and there is the backing of
the Administration in its en­forcement.
All the "Defense of

actual fact. I ask you, gentlemen,
if you wish to be known as such,

Harold Mullin, president of the
Student Council, has informed
the Stag that the collection of
the Student Tax on Wednesday,
February 27 was very successful.
A total of $258.00 was collected
during the brief period between
8:30 and 9:30 a.m. This amount,
combined with the $170.00 pre­viously
collected indicates that
one-third of the Student Body
has not paid the tax.
During the week, members of
the Student Council will contact
these men personally for their
fee. If they still refuse to pay,
they will appear before Fr. Ly­ons
who will receive their ex­planations.
Mullin also stressed the need
for such an assessment since the
expenses and obligations of the
Council have been greatly in­creased.
For example the Coun­cil
has just paid the eighty dol­lars
National Dues to the NFCCS
and will spend an additional
thirty to forty-five dollars to
send delegates to the NFCCS re­gional
convention.
"The Student Council," said
Mullin, "also wishes to thank the
students for their fine coopera­tion
and assistance.

Beginning Thursday, March
13, and extending through Fri­day,
March 14, Fairfield Univer­sity
Sophomores will participate
in the 1952 National College
Sophomore Testing Program. To
facilitate the administering of
the examinations, all sophomore
classes during this test period
will be cancelled.
Last year approximately 19,­000
college Sophomores in 165
American colleges and univer­sities
took the examinations. The
tests included in the program
are designed primarily to aid
students in making a better ad­justment
to college work and to
ascertain a better knowledge of
their abilities and interests. Ex­aminations
cut across subject­matter
boundaries and measure
students general learnings in
basic fields. No specific prepara­tion
for taking the tests need be
made.
Soon after the examinations
are taken each student will be
furnished with his test results
and a leaflet which will tell him
the significance of his test scores
and the uses he may make of
them. A chart will be included
in the leaflet so that the student
may plot his test scores and
thereby see graphically in which
fields his achievements and in­terests
are greatest.
