Shaping another sun

7000 degrees . . . an inferno approaching that of the sun's surfacehas been created by the scientists of Union Carbide. The energy comes fromthe intensely hot carbon arc. Through the use of mirrors, the heat is reflectedto form a single burning image of the electric arc at a convenient point.Called the arc-image furnace, it extends the limits of high-temperatureresearch on new materials for the space age.

For years, mammoth carbon and graphite electrodes have firedblazing electric furnaces to capture many of today's metals from their oresand to produce the finest steels. But, in addition to extreme heat, the carbonarc produces a dazzling light that rivals the sun. In motion picture projectors,its brilliant beam floods panoramic movie screens with every vivid detailfrom a film no larger than a postage stamp.

The carbon arc is only one of many useful things made fromthe basic element, carbon. The people of Union Carbide will carry on theirresearch to develop even better ways for carbon to serve everyone.

Cornell Alumni NewsVOLUME 62, NUMBER 12 MARCH 15, 1960

Committee Proposes Housing ChangesFor Future University ConstructionBROAD CHANGES in student housing atthe University are proposed in an ex-haustive report made to President DeaneW. Malott by the University FacultyCommittee on Student Affairs. Amongthe more important recommendationsare that future University housing con-struction should be primarily apartmentsto accommodate undergraduate menand women, single and married graduatestudents, and Faculty members; andthat Sage Hall, now a women's dormi-tory, be converted into a center for grad-uate students.

The Committee recommended thattwo fundamental decisions govern fu-ture housing policy at Cornell. First, theCommittee said, it is necessary to recog-nize that student housing plays a vitalrole in the educational life of the Uni-versity, not only through its obvious anddirect impact upon study habits, but alsoin the profound way it affects social be-havior, in itself an inseparable part ofthe academic climate. University hous-ing must make the maximum possible

contribution to academic life and it cando this only by providing facilities forquiet and intense study. Secondly, theUniversity should house a larger pro-portion of male undergraduate andgraduate students than it does now. TheCommittee notes that a large proportionof these students now occupy off-Cam-pus quarters which are below approvedstandards of safety, sanitation, and aca-demic value. Especially foreign students,it said, are forced into sub-standard liv-ing quarters through such circumstancesas very late arrival in Ithaca., discrimi-nation by some landlords, delay in ar-rival of adequate dollar funds, and in-ability to comprehend an alien rentalsituation.

To implement these two decisions,the Committee made fourteen recom-mendations. For those dealing with con-struction of student apartments, threemain reasons are cited: all available evi-dence indicates that the vast majority ofstudents find apartment living more at-tractive than dormitory living; apart-

ment living ideally makes the greatestcontribution to the academic life of theUniversity; and apartments can be con-structed in varying sizes, to accommo-date different numbers of residents andto rent with maximum flexibility asshifts occur in the composition of theUniversity population.

To Have All Students TogetherThese apartments should house mar-

ried students, groups of single graduatemen and women, groups of male under-graduates (other than Freshmen),groups of Senior undergraduate women,and single and married members of theFaculty. It was believed that making theapartments available to a diverse cross-section of the University would encour-age the highest level of social conductand of academic climate. An added ad-vantage is that such an arrangementmight be useful to new Faculty membersin finding temporary living quarters.

In choosing sites for these apartments,the report said, no effort should be madeto perpetuate the present separation ofmen's and women's living areas on theCampus, since such a separation seemsto serve little purpose. The Committeealso recommended that dining-commu-nity units which would serve as intellec-

Bi

New Housing Authorized for Students—The dormitory at left"will be erected soon near Clara Dickson Hall for 480 undergraduatewomen. At right is an apartment unit of a group to be built on Pleasant Grove Road above Forest Home. The new group will com-prise 198 two-bedroom apartments and 48 one-bedroom apartments for undergraduate men and married students. This new construc-tion, estimated to cost $6,600,000, will be financed through the State Dormitory Authority and will be self-liquidating. Constructionis expected to start this spring. Architects are the firms of Searle H. von Storch '23 & Burkavage of Waverly, Pa. and James P. Beards-ley '43 & Wallace P. Beardsley, Jr. '46 of Auburn.

tual and social centers be constructed aspart of the University apartment de-velopment. In addition to providing eat-ing facilities, these units would containsmall browsing libraries., discussionrooms, recreation rooms., and music-lis-tening rooms with small record libraries.

To Improve Freshman DormitoriesVarious ways of improving University

Halls, the new men's dormitories alongStewart Avenue, are suggested in the re-port. It recommends that a dining-com-munity unit as described be built there,with a cafeteria where dormitory resi-dents would be required to eat. Sec-ondly, every effort should be made toreduce through renovation the presenthigh noise-carrying propensities of Uni-versity Halls. It was found that thesedormitories are so noisy that many stu-dents must seek other places to study,chiefly the already overcrowded Uni-versity Library. Finally, the Committeerecommended that Freshmen men beencouraged to live in the dormitoriesand that there be continued strengthen-ing of the various programs designed tobenefit the academic and social moraleof Freshmen.

Sage for Graduate StudentsOne of the most important of the

Committee's recommendations is to con-vert Sage Hall into a center for graduatestudents. Under the plan, Sage Hallwould house about 240 single gradu-ate men and women and would alsoserve as a social center for all graduatestudents. The dining rooms in Sagewould be used exclusively by graduatestudents and their guests. Here toowould be the Graduate School offices.Cascadilla Hall, which now houses about100 graduate men and women, wouldno longer be a residence. The numberof women who now live in Sage wouldbe accommodated in the new women'sdormitory authorized to be built nearClara Dickson Hall.

The Committee recommended thatthere be no change in the requirementthat all undergraduate women, exceptthose in organized living groups, behoused on the Campus. It suggested thatfraternities and sororities should be en-couraged to increase their contributionto the academic life of Cornell byimproving study facilities for their mem-bers, having graduate and Faculty resi-dents, and introducing browsing librar-ies with academically relevant contents.Until study facilities are thus improvedand by completion of the new Under-graduate & Research Libraries, theCommittee urged that the Universitymake available small classrooms andseminar rooms where students can studyduring non-class hours.

The Committee ended its report byrecommending that housing policy at

Cornell be rooted in consultation amongFaculty, administration, and students,and that there should be continuing pro-fessional studies of the University's hous-ing needs and plans.

Stone Heads Carved for Boardman HallAppear Again on Same SiteRELICS of Boardman Hall,, that was torndown to make way for the $5,700,000John M. Olin ['21] Library, are pre-served in the new building, which willbe opened next fall. Three of the greatheads of men that decorated the cornicesof the old building are shown on ourcover as they now appear in the out-side wall of the new Olin Library. Thiswall has entrances from the Quadrangleto the large main floor of the Librarybuilding. Above it, an open terrace pro-jects from the upper structure. The sand-stone facing of the wall was cut from thehuge blocks of Boardman Hall by theFinker Lakes Stone Co: Three more ofthe eight original heads are inside thebuilding. They are shown below.

The huge sandstone heads, a foot anda half high, were carved for BoardmanHall, when it W^LS built for the LawSchool in 1891-92. The sculptors werethree stonecutters from Great Britain.The ALUMNI NEWS published June 15,1946, a communication from the lateFred D. Smith '92, who knew these menwhen they were doing similar decora-tions for the University Library buildinga year earlier.

"They were directed/' he wrote, "by

an Englishman named John Allen,whom we affectionately called Top.' Histwo very able assistants were JohnQuayle, from the Isle of Man, and Rob-ert Birnie from Scotland. We all roomedin the same boarding house on oldHazen Street, and many is the time Iclimbed up the scaffolding when theywere doing the carving on the Library. . . . Pop Allen, who did all the blockingout of the main figures, used to say, 'Wedo not carve these figures from thestone. They are already there and wesimply knock away the pieces of stoneto release them'."

Allen's work on these and other build-ings in Ithaca made him famous. Anarticle in The Ithaca Daily Journal ofNovember 9, 1898, told of his decora-tions for the Lyceum building and men-tioned carvings he had made for theSavings Bank building and West Broth-ers block. The Journal said:

"The speed of this carver and sculptoris quite surprising and gives him the rep-utation of being the best workman inthe State for excellence in designing andskillful and rapid execution. It took himabout one full day to design and cut eachof the central figures in the six pieces

i ?More Boardman Hall Heads—Besides the three pictured on the cover these three stoneheads from Boardman Hall are preserved on the same site in the new John M. Olin Library.Here they are being placed by stone mason Vincent Giordano of Ithaca and John Ablondi,superintendent for Perrini Construction Co., the general contractors. They are on the wallof the great stairway that will lead from the main floor to the one next below, where userswill find maps, microtexts, and newspapers. C. Hadley Smith

[for the Lyceum]. Four are wreaths, oneis the head of a satyr; its short, sharphorns and dog's ears, bushy hair, heavymustache and shaven chin making a gro-tesque and striking figure. The other is afemale head. All are surrounded withthe old classic form resembling theAcanthus leaf used in the capitals of theCorinthian and Composite orders . . . .

"Allen took up his mallet and chiselat 1:30 p.m. last Friday and faced thesoft, rough block of stone and in precise-ly nine minutes he had cut away thegranite until a human head stood out inview. After five hours and thirty minutes'work, he had the satyr's head, horns,ears, hair, mustache, and all, completeas it now is in the wall above the window.. . . Mr. Allen does his own designing ashe works in the stone. He uses no lines,measures, or pencil . . . . strange, too, isthe fact that he never cuts his name inany of his work . . . . The standard litera-ture of every country, ancient, medieval,and modern, is familiar to him andmakes him a delightful companion andconversationalist. He is an Englishmanby birth, but proud of being an Ameri-can now . . . ."

'30 Starts Group PlanCLASS OF '30 men, starting with thisissue, are the twenty-fifth Class to havea group subscription to the ALUMNINEWS. The paper goes now to all menof the Class, with a column of '30 newswritten by George C. Castleman.

Like the other twenty-four Classeswith group subscriptions, '30 hasadopted this means to keep its membersinformed regularly about each other andthe University. Next June is the Thirty-year Reunion of '30 and the Class col-umn will announce plans and tell who iscoming. Information on group subscrip-tions for additional Classes may be ob-tained from the ALUMNI NEWS.

Graduate Costs Go UpTUITION AND FEES for the GraduateSchool of Business & Public Administra-tion, the Law School, the endowed areasof the Graduate School, and the MedicalCollege will be increased to $1425 ayear after the spring term, the Univer-sity has announced. This will make thecost the same as that set for this year inthe undergraduate endowed divisions,and this is not changed.

For undergraduates in the State-sup-ported Colleges of Agriculture andHome Economics, Veterinary College,and School of Industrial & Labor Rela-tions, tuition is free to residents of NewYork and $400 for others and fees rangefrom $227 to $307 a year. Graduate stu-dents majoring in the State divisionshave tuition and fees of $525 a year.

Volunteer New York PlacementOffice Serves Hotel School AlumniBY DEAN H. B. MEEK, School of Hotel Administration

THE ALUMNI Placement Committee ofthe Cornell Society of Hotelmen recent-ly completed its twenty-fifth year ofservice to the Hotel School alumni. Un-der the direction and chairmanship ofH. Victor Grohmann'28, this committeeis one of the most effective voluntaryalumni placement groups in any uni-versity. Inaugurated by Vic Grohmannand his partner, the late William R.Needham '25, to supplement the regu-lar placement activities rendered by theSchool of Hotel Administration in Ith-aca, a free placement office has beenmaintained in New York City since 1935with headquarters at the offices of Need-ham & Grohmann, Inc., advertisingagency, at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

Alumni & Industry Benefit

It is estimated that during the lasttwenty-five years the service of the NewYork office to Hotel School alumni hasbeen: personal interviews, 2800; num-ber of job leads mailed to alumni,18,000; number of job leads telephonedto alumni, 4100; number of positionsfilled by alumni, 1200. All this in addi-tion to the efforts at Ithaca. Recordsshow that a number of alumni, includingseveral with top positions in the industrytoday, accepted successive opportunitiesfor advancement to three or more newpositions during their earlier careers.One of these is now executive officer incharge of building development for aleading insurance company, another di-rects the food operations of a large de-partment store, and several others aregeneral managers of some of the largesthotels in the country.

Cornellians Help in Work

When Grohmann's service was started,the alumni group was small enough sothat he and Bill Needham knew most ofthe alumni personally and could adviseon their individual problems. Now,however, with more than 2200 alumniof the Hotel School and with increaseddemand for its graduates, Grohmannhas had to add another Cornellian to hisstaff, currently Barbara C. Freeman '53,who devotes her entire time to place-ment work and other Cornell activities.Two other Cornellians at Needham &Grohmann, Howard A. Heinsius '50 andAva Jane Key '51, assist in the work.

One of the functions of the service isto maintain a record of current positionsavailable, categorized by job classifica-tion, salary, geographical location, andexperience required. The positions range

420

H. Victor Grohmann '28—Chairman ofAlumni Placement Committee, CornellSociety of Hotelmen Fabian Bachrach

from $90 a week for room clerks andstewards to $30,000 a year for generalmanagers of hotels. With the waxingpreeminence of the Cornell School ofHotel Administration, the demand forits graduates, as well as the diversifica-tion of jobs on file, have greatly in-creased. About one-quarter of the posi-tions available are in allied fields ratherthan directly in hotel and restaurant op-erations. For instance, the owner of anew luxury apartment building recentlyasked the New York office to find a HotelSchool graduate to manage the build-ing because, he said, "Those Cornellmen really know how to run things."

Through the New York Chapter ofthe Cornell Society of Hotelmen amonthly Job Bulletin of current positionsavailable is published and distributed tomore than 400 members in good stand-ing, supplementing the weekly bulletinfrom Ithaca. In addition, many alumnioutside the New York area become non-resident members so they may receivethese New York placement reports.

Keep Job RecordsA complete file of all Hotel alumni

is also maintained in Grohmann's of-fice, including qualifications, experience,main areas of interest, and personal data.In addition to notices to active job seek-ers about positions which are open,many leads to better job opportunitiesare given to currently employed alumni.

A basic source file is maintained withinformation on the personnel needs andrequirements of a wide variety of or-ganizations. It includes types of positionsavailable, salary levels, opportunities for

advancement, applicant procedures, andnames of Cornellians with each com-pany.

Other members of the PlacementCommittee who have set up placementoffices for their areas are Lee E. Schoen-brunn '40, general manager of theDrake Hotel, for the Chicago area;Lynn P. Himmelman '33, general man-ager of the Olympic Hotel in Seattle,Wash, for the West Coast; and Paul J.McNamara '35, general manager of theWarwick Hotel, for the Philadelphiaarea.

Bequests Serve Varied Uses

RALPH M. BROWN '01 bequeathed theUniversity about $39,600 to be used forbird studies in the Laboratory of Or-nithology. He died November 30, 1958.He was for twenty-two years librarian ofVirginia Polytechnic Institute at Blacks-burg, retiring in 1947; worked in theVeterinary College Library for a yearafter receiving the AB in 1901 then waslibrarian of the US Department of Com-merce & Labor and later, chief of library& archives of US Coast & Geodetic Sur-vey in Washington, D.C. He was espe-cially interested in bird migration andin 1954, he met Professor Arthur A. Al-len '08, Ornithology, when Allen was atChurchill on Hudson's Bay.

Frederick C. Fletcher '96 left a be-quest of $50,000 for the University'sunrestricted use. He died in December,1958; had retired as an executive oflAwton Spinning Co., Boston, Mass.Fletcher was in Sibley College for twoyears, 1892—94. He was a member ofPsi Upsilon and proposed the formationin 1894 of the "1900 Club" of the frater-nity, whose members pledged to dine to-gether at the Waldorf Astoria in NewYork City every five years on February9 as long as any of them were able.

A bequest of $25,000 from Charles R.Vose '14 establishes the Charles RedfieldVose Library Fund, the income to beused for work on manuscripts in theUniversity Library. Before he died whenhis private plane crashed in Alaska, July10, 1957, Vose had given more than$50,000 to the Library, mostly for manu-scripts and rare books. He received theME in 1914; was an insurance broker inBrooklyn; a member of the UniversityCouncil and served on the alumni com-mittee that from 1951-53 raised fundsto complete Kimball & Thurston Halls.

From the estate of Professor EliseStrang L'Esperance, Clinical PublicHealth & Preventive Medicine, has comea bequest of $50,000 to endow theL'Esperance Scholarship she had pro-vided for many years for women stu-dents in the Medical College. Dr.L'Esperance was a member of the Medi-cal College Faculty from 1910 until sheretired in 1950. She and her sister estab-

lished in 1937 the Strang Tumor Clinicat New York Infirmary for Women &Children, the first of its kind, and in1940 the Strang Cancer PreventionClinic at Memorial Hospital. Dr. LΈs-perance was their director. She receivedthe 1951 Lasker Award of the AmericanPublic Health Association. She died Jan-uary 21, 1959.

Scholarships for men and women stu-dents in the College of Arts & Scienceswill be provided from the income of theJohn & Charlotte E. Reamer MemorialEndowment of some $775,000. Thiscame to the University after the deathof Miss Reamer, October 27, 1958. Shehad started life income agreements forthis Endowment in 1944, and her willleft her residual estate to complete it.She asked that preference be given tostudents specializing or majoring in thehumanities. Miss Reamer was the sisterof the late John Reamer, who was mayorof Ithaca in 1912-13 and was presidentof the Chamber of Commerce and pro-prietor of Modern Method Laundries inIthaca. He died in July, 1940.

Cornell is one of twelve universities toshare in a bequest from the late WilliamW. Stout of San Francisco, Cal. and hasestablished the William W. Stout Schol-arship Endowment, expected to amountto approximately $180,000. The donorleft one-eighth of his residual estateeach to University of California and Le-land Stanford University and providedthat the presidents of these two institu-tions should distribute the remainingthree-fourths among not less than eightnor more than fifteen other colleges anduniversities, "chosen on the basis of thequality of instruction given by each toprepare its students to be useful mem-bers of their communities. . . . " Cornelland nine others were selected. Stout'swill said that the income from thesegrants should be used "to pay scholar-ships to worthy students who . . . needscholarship income in order to get themaximum benefit of their college or uni-versity education. . . ." The will sug-gested "that each student shall receiveenough to defray his reasonable livingand educational expenses, so that he candevote his full time to his studies."

"These are only some of many giftsof useful equipment that the School hasreceived from industrial firms," DirectorLoberg says. ."They are important toour teaching and research and we ap-preciate the interest of the alumni inthese companies that has helped to bringthem to us."

Now In /Hi/ Time!MID-MARCH seems a proper place totouch upon the topic of Ithaca weather,although better men than your corres-pondent have also dealt with it fromtime to time, and not without somenotable displays of descriptive power.

It was the late Professor Hiram Cor-son, you recall, who remarked to hisShakespeare class, while removing thetop three overcoats and shaking thesnowflakes from his luxuriant whiskersbefore reading the balcony scene in twovoices, that Ithaca had no climate what-ever just diversified samples of weather.

The late Frank Lehigh, on the otherhand, approached the subject from an-other angle. He it was who explained tothe late Mrs. Henry Shaler Williams,who was having one of her more difficultmoods at the moment, after a passingFord had just splashed her with themelted essences of State Street, that shewas just wasting her time longing forthe spring to come, because Ithaca hadbut two seasons: winter and August. Itis now accepted as an historical facthereabouts that the late Frank was theonly resident who ever tangled regularlywith the late Mrs. Henry Shaler Wil-liams without ever getting much worsethan a draw.

Ithaca weather has not changed at allsince the turn of the century, but habitsand customs based upon it have beensubstantially modified with the years.Students no longer slide down the gelidsidewalks of Buffalo Hill in long un-broken cues, Student A being embracedby the arms of Student B, Student B bythose of Student C, and so on back some-times as far as Students L & M. The tinysleds upon which Campus Tigers zippeddown in the morning to the Ithaca HighSchool and carried back on the trolleyin the late afternoon, strapped to theirhomework, have become as extinct asthe heath-hen and the mastodon. Theice in the Inlet is no longer the chiefsubject of conversations in mid-March;modern rowing coaches have come toaccept the inevitable philosophically.

The older type were afflicted by no suchinhibitions. Mr. Courtney made it a ruleto ache audibly when in pain!

Ithaca motorists have abandoned thepractice of putting chains on all fourwheels with the first snow and leavingthem there until Easter. Vehicular traf-fic still slips and slides, collides andsnarls on the hills, but only briefly now.Quick and effective applications of saltand cinders to the steeper slopes havemade it no longer necessary to use front-wheel chains to get out of ruts. Ruts nowexist in Ithaca only here and there toguide the thinking of the timid few. TheDepartment of Public Works has longsince removed them from the highways.

It is a fortunate thing for Cornell Uni-versity that her far-flung sons anddaughters recall her only in her lovelymoods, and forget the aspects that we'vejust touched upon. Nature provides ablessed anodyne to dim the memories ofpain. You are convinced that a tooth-ache hurts, but you can't recall the exactsensation until the next one announcesits arrival with remembered twinges.Just so, happily, it's the Cornell of yourarrival that stays in your mind: theSeptember University that looked downupon a soft blue haze in the valleys.Either that or the Cornell of June, fromwhich you departed clutching memoriesof moonlight and music and the nightbreeze that moved in from the Lake tostir softly the leaves of the Campus elms.

But it is the grim duty of your his-torian to remind you that the Cornellyear contained also the month of March,a season associated with wet feet, headcolds, draw poker, hard study, and pink-eye, and was made endurable only by thecertain hope of spring vacation.

And after that came April and the lit-tle miracle of Percy Field. For in thescant mile between, one dropped 500feet and two weeks! Dirty snowbanks onthe Quadrangle became daffodils atPercy Field in twenty minutes, whileearnest students became little boys again?

On the Sporting Side - BLJ "Sίdeiίner'

WINTER WEATHER really arrived in Ithaca only within the last month of the wintersports season. With Lynah Rink now furnishing its own ice, only the ski team isdependent on seasonal weather. Basketball, swimming, wrestling, fencing, squash,and polo teams all practice and perform in the heated confines of Barton, Teagle,Grumman, and the Riding Hall, and many of the track men work out in BaconCage. The runners were glad that winter came late, and the skiers merely packedtheir boards on cars and travelled farther north.

Basketball Team Climbs Up

TIED WITH DARTMOUTH for secondplace in the Ivy League with eight wins& four losses and trailing Princeton(9—3) 5 the Varsity basketball team ap-proached its final week end of play withhigh hopes. If it won both its gameswith Penn and Princeton^ it would comeout with at least a tie for the Ivy title.In any case, the team had achieved thebest record in six seasons.

Games with Yale and Brown awayfrom home, February 19 & 20, broughta win, 84-72, and a loss, 79-69, respec-tively. In Barton Hall the next week end,Brown was beaten, 73-62, and Yale wasagain defeated, 76-59, in the most con-sistently good basketball of the year.

Consistency has not been a trademarkof the team this season. It has played allkinds of ball in the same game. It hasbeen a hustling team, though, and hasshown drive and aggressiveness in allgames except the two with Harvard andDartmouth, February 5 & 6, three daysafter midyear examinations. But con-sistency is not a trademark of thisLeague, either, and that is why with oneweek end to go, Princeton, Dartmouth,and Cornell all had chances to gain thetitle and there were possibilities of athree-way tie between them, a two-waytie, or even a four-way tie; Brown withits 7-5 record still having a slim chanceto gain the top if the chips fell just right.A tie or ties would require a play-off todetermine the champion.

Journey To New England

A turbulent plane ride to New Havenin a snow-storm, February 19, did notaffect the team's performance that night,as Yale became an easy victim. Thebadly shaken players did not seem tofeel the effects until the next day,when they played Brown at Providence.George A. Farley, six-feet-seven Senior,did a good job at Yale. He collected 27points and used his height to controlboth backboards.

It was a tight game until shortly afterthe second half started. Cornell led,41-39, at half time and Yale tied thescore in the first few seconds of the sec-ond half. After that, Farley and six-foot-three, 200-pound Sophomore William J.

March 15, 1960

Baugh combined to place the Red in acommanding lead, 65-56, and that mar-gin was increased to 84-72 at the end.Baugh had 24 points and Frederick J.Wynne '60 and John C. Petry '61 eachhad 10.

A big, brawny Brown team spoiledCornell's chances of going into first placein the League with an unceremonious79-69 lacing. The two men who had themajor role in upending Yale the nightbefore did their best. Farley and Baughkept the Red in the game the first half.Cornell took the lead three times in thefirst seventeen minutes and the score wastied nine times. But with six minutes ofthe half to go, Brown forged ahead andCornell could never again take over.Baugh led all scorers with 23. Reed ofBrown had 22 Jay S. Harris '60 had 19;Farley had 15.

Reverse Brown Here

The situation was quite different sixdays later in Barton Hall. Brown wasstrong, but it was never a real threat.Cornell was so good at the start that thevisitors seemed outclassed, but the samedeficiency that has bothered the teamall season almost caused trouble. A com-placency sets in just as they appearheaded for easy dominance. "They justcan't stand prosperity," says Coach HughS. MacNeil '51. The team led Harvardby 15 points when the trauma occurredand was beaten, 79-78, February 5, in agame it should have won easily. Thistime, when the Red dissipated 10 of a14-point lead, Coach MacNeil put inPetry and John M. Furlong '60 and thisproved the proper remedy. In fact,Petry was the key. He scored 15 points,most of them at just the critical times.So instead of losing by 10 points Cornellwon by 11, 73—62. Baugh was high-pointman with 22.

Petry was again an energizer againstYale the next night at Barton. Heplayed a solid game and forestalled acouple of Eli rallies with timely saveson defense and nifty scoring sorties.Captain David H. Zornow '60 and Far-ley were high with 20 apiece. Baugh had15; Petry, 9.

The Freshman basketball team lostto a strong Broome County Tech teamat Binghamton, 68-59, February 23.

Broome Tech has a 24-1 record for theseason. Syracuse freshmen won a three-game series, 2-1, by beating Cornell,63-55, February 26 at Ithaca. ThenColgate was a victim, 57-55, February27 at Barton Hall, to assure the yearlingsof a winning season. They were 9-6 withtwo games left. Gerald J. Szachara ofJohnson City, Richard H. Crone of Cin-cinnati, Ohio, and Gerald Krumbein ofLarchmont are the leading players.

Wrestlers Hold Big Lead

VARSITY WRESTLERS continue to domi-nate Ivy opposition, 23-0 in the last fourseasons and most other opposition, too.Suffering only one defeat, to Penn State,they have won nine meets. In two moreIthaca matches, they defeated Brown,32-3, February 20, and Columbia,20-11, February 27.

A blow to the strength of the Varsityteam was the scholastic ineligibility of157-pound Allen T. Rose '61. He lostonly once, to Penn State's star, JerrySeckler. The undefeated stalwarts ofCoach Erie J. Miller, Jr. '44, CaptainDavid C. Auble '60, 130 pounds; AllanR. Marion '61, 167 pounds; and PhilipM. Oberlander '61, 177 pounds, still be-labored the opposition.

In beating Columbia Cornell clinchedat least a tie for the Ivy title. It must de-feat Princeton in the last meet to win itoutright for the fourth time in the lastfive years. The Columbia summary:

123—Brian Milesi, Columbia, defeatedJared Barlow, 6-5.

130—Dave Auble, Cornell, defeated JamesBalquist, 12-1.

137—Bob Jones, Cornell, defeated JosephMcLaughlin, 10—3.

147—James Carter, Cornell, defeated Vin-cent Chiarello, default.

157—Alex Steinbergh, Cornell, defeatedRichard Lates, 10-3.

167—Al Marion, Cornell, defeated RobertDickstein, 14-3.

177—Phil Oberlander, Cornell, defeatedBill Dixon, 9-0.

191—Carlos Henriquez, Columbia, de-feated Bill Werst, 2-1.

Heavyweight—Robert Asack, Columbia,pinned George Loveless with half-nelson andcrotch hold in 4:41.

The Freshman team was virtually de-stroyed by the scholastic axe at midyears.Six men were lost, five by probation, oneby dismissal. A meet with Syracuse fresh-men here, February 203 was cancelledbecause of a snowstorm.

Other Sports

A TRACK MEET with Yale was cancelledwhen the Yale team was unable to gethere the storm-torn week end of Febru-ary 20. February 27, Dartmouth de-feated the Red, 62VM 6V2, at Hanover.Despite this unaccustomed loss to Dart-mouth, there was at least one highly sat-

423

isfactory result. Sophomore Eric P.Groon of Palisades Park, N.J., ran4:15.4 to win the mile run over muchheralded Tom Laris and set a newCornell record. These former high schooladversaries furnished the highlight ofan otherwise drab competition. Groonbroke the 1956 record of 4:16 set by Mi-chael Midler, Jr. '58. Groon trailed Larisclosely running the first three quartersin 62.8, 63.7, and 64.5. Laris stretchedhis lead to about six yards at the start ofthe fourth quarter, but Groon soon over-took him and ran away from him at thefinish in a 63.4 last lap.

Winners at Dartmouth

The absence of Peter W. Brandeis '61,who was suffering with a cold, hurtCornell's scoring chances. He was afavorite in the 1000 and is the strongman in both relays. The Varsity sufferedalso for the scholastic ineligibility of L.Michael Schenker '61, weight man. The35-pound weight throw was won with47 feet H3/4 inches and Schenker hasbeen throwing more than 10 feet fartherthan this.

Other Cornell winners were footballerGeorge A. Ekstrom '61, 50-yard dash in0:05.6; Thomas W. Mikulina '62, tie inhigh jump at 6 feet; Murray B. Mould-ing '61, 600 yards in 1:13.6; John S.Murray '61 and Albert M. Finch '60tied in pole vault at 13 feet 6 inches.

The Freshmen also took a beatingfrom Dartmouth, 66%-37lΔ. The loss ofstar miler Allen W. Chapman throughscholastic probation was a weakeningfactor. Cornell winners were Arthur H.Adams, high jump, 5 feet 8; David M.Dornbusch, 45-yard high hurdles, 0:06-.4 Vance A. Etnyre, 1000 yards, 2:21.3;Robert L. Potter, pole vault, 12 feet.

Freshman Swimmers Unbeaten

Varsity and Freshman swimmingteams ended dual meet seasons that weremediocre and good, respectively. TheVarsity was taken by Dartmouth inTeagle pool, February 27, by a resound-ing 68-27, to finish with a 5-7 record.The undefeated Freshmen completedtheir season February 20 in Teagle poolwith a 65-21 beating of Albany Acad-emy. Columbia achieved one of its raredefeats of the Red Varsity, February 20at New York, 50-45. The day before,Army defeated the hapless Red swim-mers, 57-38, at West Point.

The Freshmen had victories over Col-gate, Syracuse, and Albany Academyand a tie with Colgate. In the final meetwith Albany Academy, they took eightfirst places in ten events. Peter N. Lan-ken of Nutley, N.J. set two Freshmanrecords. He negotiated the 100-yardfreestyle in 60 seconds and 200-yard in-dividual medley in 2:19.0.

As expected, Columbia took the meas-ure of the Red fencing team in Teagle

424

Hall, February 20, 18-9. They therebywon the Ivy championship. Cornell lostin the foil, 6-3, and saber, 8-1, and wonthe epee, 5-4, with the leading Redfencers Louis H. Van Slyke '60 andJohn C. Stotsenburg '61. Raoul A. Sudre'60 won two bouts in foil. Syracuse gavethe Red team a scare, February 27 inSyracuse, but Cornell won, 14-13.

Varsity squash team repeated itsopening 8-1 victory over University ofRochester, February 27 at Ithaca. OnlyCaptain P. Kay Champion '60, in No.1 spot, was defeated, by Tom Jones,15-9, 15-8, 15-0. February 22 at WestPoint, Army defeated the Red, 6-3.Cornell winners were Champion, Rad-clyffe B. Roberts '61, and Henry J. Stein-glass '62.

Hockey Team Starts Scoring

Big news on Varsity hockey! Theemancipated Cornell team scores! Itgave Brown the scare of its life when itscored 2 and made a whale of a game ofit, February 20 at Lynah Rink. TheBruins fought it out to win, 3-2. At 6:02of the third period, an historical eventoccurred. Cornell scored its first goal ofthe season in League competition. JamesW. Dean '61 of Canton sent the puckflying past goalie Rod McGarry fromfifteen feet out. At 16:32, Joseph A. Kel-sey '60 of Montclair, N.J. scored an-other, but it was 3-1 for Brown at thatpoint. Then the Red achieved anothermoral something-or-other, February 22,when it again scored 2 goals against aLeague opponent at Lynah; this time,Harvard. But Harvard was not in dan-ger, as it emerged a 12-2 victor. Kelseyagain scored, with assists from Sam D.Dugan '61 and David E. Barlow '61.Morgan N. Holmes '61 scored the otheron a solo dash. Both were in the thirdperiod. Scoring continued the next weekend. Army won, 7-2, at West Point, Feb-ruary 26. Dean and James H. Lytle '62were the point makers. And Princetonwon, 6-1, at Princeton, February 27.Barlow scored in the third period on anassist from Holmes. Goalie John T. Det-wiler '60 continued his effective work.He made thirty-eight saves each in theBrown and Army games, fifty-one againstHarvard, and thirty-two against Prince-ton. This has just got to be some sort ofrecord! The team lost eighteen straightafter an opening win over Penn.

Freshmen Hold Good Record

The sainted Freshmen continued theirundefeated record with a 16-0 drubbingof a University of Rochester team atLynah Rink, February 27. Playing witha decimated squad of ten men due toillness and scholastic ineligibility, theFreshmen had little trouble. Seven Cor-nellians scored; Robert D. McKee ofHingham, Mass, and Stephen F. Kijan-ka of Sarnia, Ontario, made 4 apiece.

Varsity polo team reversed an earlierdefeat by Yale with a 25-11 lacing in theRiding Hall, February 20. Bennett M.Baldwin '61 batted in 12 goals: five in arow in the second period.

The ski team concluded its activityfor the season by taking second place inthe western division championship meetof the Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Asso-ciation held in conjunction with the Col-gate Winter Carnival at Greek Peak.RPI won the meet. After Cornell cameColgate, Hamilton, and Syracuse. AllanE. Sawyer '62 finished second in slalom,seventh in downhill. Favor R. Smith '61was third in the downhill race.

Roberson '58 Breaks World Record

The week end of February 22, twoalumni athletes were in the headlines.Irvin Roberson '58 set a new world'srecord in the indoor broad jump byleaping 25 feet 9*/2 inches in the NationalAAU meet in Madison Square Garden,February 20. The former record of 25feet 7*/2 inches was set by Jesse Owens ofOhio State, February 23, 1935. Now anArmy lieutenant at Fort Lee, Va., Ro-berson made his national prominencefelt last summer when he won the PanAmerican Games at Chicago with ajump of 26 feet 2 inches. Owens holdsthe outdoor record of 26 feet 8!/4 inches,also set in 1935.

February 22, Richard Savitt '50 lostto Barry MacKay in the finals of the Na-tional Indoor Tennis Championships inNew York City. Scores were 6-2, 2-6,10-12, 6-1, 6-4. Savitt won the indoortitle in 1952 and 1958 and lost in thefinal last year to Alex Olmedo.

Cattle Win Top Honors

SIXTEEN Guernsey cows from the Uni-versity's McDonald Farms are ratedamong the best in the nation in thisyear's all-American competition. This isnot only the largest number of winnersthe University has ever had, but alsogives Cornell a greater share of the tophonors than any other farm or institu-tion.

The all-American competition is sim-ilar to the selection of an all-Americanfootball team. Thirty-two judges whohave worked at State and nationalshows select the best cows in each of six-teen classes after the judging seasonends. Entered in this year's Guernseycompetition were 181 animals fromeighty-seven farms in twenty-eight Statesand Canada. Nine Guernseys from theMcDonald Farms won all-American rat-ing; five, reserve all-American rating;and two won honorable mention.

The world-famous McDonald Farmsnear Cortland and its herd of Guernseycattle came to the University in 1957,the bequest of the late James M. Mc-

Regional conferences were institutedby the University Council in 1956 andseven have been held. There was one inFebruary in Milwaukee, Wis., and oneis planned for Pittsburgh, Pa., April 30.

Science Students Win

MORE THAN THREE-QUARTERS of the

thirty-four New York State high schooljuniors who took college-level sciencecourses at Cornell last summer have wonState Regents scholarships. The StateEducation Department list of winnersincludes twenty-seven students whocame for the Summer Science Institutesponsored by the National Science Foun-dation. Four more were named alternatescholarship winners. Regents scholarshipsfor colleges and universities within theState are awarded on the basis of exam-nations taken by all New York students.

Some sixty high school students, forty-three of them from New York., werechosen from more than 1600 applicantsfor the Institute here. Nine of the NewYork participants were either seniors orjuniors who had been accepted for col-lege after three years of high school,leaving thirty-four eligible for Regentsscholarships.

Aids Graduate Work

THE UNIVERSITY has received $72,000from the Woodrow Wilson NationalFellowship Foundation to assist ad-vanced graduate students and to im-prove graduate instruction. Dean Da-mon Boynton '31 of the GraduateSchool says that $54,000 will be usedfor grants to graduate students who have

March 15, 1960

at least one year of residence in theSchool and who are interested in col-lege teaching as a career.

The Foundation awards $2000 toAmerican and Canadian universities foreach Woodrow Wilson Fellow enrolledin graduate school. Cornell, with thirty-six Fellows, received the eighth-largestgrant among the seventy-five participat-ing universities. Yale, with ninety-eightFellows, received the largest grant, fol-lowed by Columbia, Harvard, Prince-ton, Chicago, California, and Wiscon-sin. This year, the Foundation distrib-uted nearly $2 million in this program.

LETTERSIn Memory of "B.A."

EDITOR : The Observations of Sam Hor-ton '27 in your February issue regardingthe virtues and drawbacks of bigness inthe University carry me back forty years.Then, as one of the "broken home"Class of 1920, back from the wars, I dida piece for The Cornell Era; and all Ican recall of it distinctly was the open-ing sentence: "Size is what ails us."

That was a year of some uncertaintyand self-questioning on our Campus, notentirely unlike the current hand-wring-ing in respect to TV quizzes, payola, andHow Are We Doing in the Race WithRussia? Most of us veterans were un-attentive in class; we lacked Class andcollege spirit; we stayed away from thestadium in droves; or, if attendingsporting spectacles, sourly declined tojoin in organized cheering. We were justmarking time, in the main, and yearningto get out of there. Or so it seemed thenand yet as I look back on it, an alto-gether stimulating unrest and break-through from juvenile standards ofsmug self-satisfaction were in the mak-ing.

A big student mass-meeting was as-sembled in Bailey Hall. The theme of itwas: "What's the Matter With Cor-nell?" I can still see Pete Vischer '20,very solemn in the black Brooks Brotherssuit and black tie which made all of usrather to resemble honorary pall-bearersin that era, presiding on this occasion.That was what touched off the specialissue of The Era. My article arguedthat bigness of the total enrollment hadalready gone so far that the only prac-tical alternative, to assure some continu-ing intimacy between teachers and stu-dents, was some measure of withdrawalinto more compact College units, such asobtained amid the diffuse universitystructures of Oxford and Cambridge.One of the best-remembered momentsof that, my final year at Cornell, camewhen that grand old professor, "Poppy"

Burr '81, trotting briskly toward theLibrary with his usual load of books un-der both arms, paused to identify me asthe writer of that piece, and praised it.

With incidents such as that, alongwith us Ags taking courses with Strunkand Sampson, joining in debate withArts lads, lawyers, and whatnot in themeetings of Janus at Telluride House,reading our pieces at Martin Sampson'sManuscript Club of Saturday nights,and sitting late at Bristow Adams's Mon-day nights, it appears that at that stageof its growth, Cornell University wasstill a place where companionship be-tween students and teachers, both withinits Colleges and in intramural exchanges,had survived.

"Extraordinary Agriculturist"

I wouldn't know how much of thissurvives now; but I guess, from this dis-tance, that since Will Strunk and Mar-tin Sampson departed from this life,none has left so great a gap in respect tosuch interchanges than came with thedeath, in his eighties, of Bristow Adams."Andy" (E.B.) White '21 has in his cur-rent revision of The Elements of Style("The Little Book") justly immortalizedProfessor Strunk. Sam Horton's piecebrought back to life, admirably, the glowand excitement of humane scholarship,entirely without pedantry, which MartinSampson imparted to the entire Cornellcommunity. And now I want to say ahundred words or so about the pervasive,and I believe continuing, influence ofthat extraordinary Agriculturist, "B.A."

But let me cut back a notch to atti-tudes prevailing on this Campus a dec-ade before Adams came from an editor-ship in the US Forest Service to be Edi-tor of our College of Agriculture, andwhich in 1920 were not entirely extinct.From a sketch of the earlier life andworks of the late B. H. Crocheron '08 inthe February issue of American Forests,I quote:. . . . Grocheron became one of the first studenteditors of The Cornell Countryman and anintimate and favored friend of Dean Bailey.That [around 1907] was a time when theAgricultural College at Cornell Universitywas still small. The men in it knew eachother and knew their professors and theirDean. An unremitting chorus of derision andcontempt for the "Cow College" from with-out strengthened this student group fromwithin and held it compact.

Things have greatly changed since then. Arecent issue of the Cornell Alumni Newstells proudly of the only "Cow College in theIvy League." But even in my years there,some ten years after Crocheron's, we Ags hadsometimes to stride along, unheeding, with allpossible dignity and our ears burning whensome raucous Arts students would put theirheads together and give "The Cow CollegeYell." It went thus: "Cornell., I yell, yell, yell,Cornell.33 Then a long "Moo,33 a slight pause,and finally three slow claps of the cuppedhands: Flop, Flop Flop. . . .

In 1920 and for some years after, athree-hour course that Adams had to

425

call "Agricultural Journalism" in orderto get it into the Ag catalog attracteda goodly number of Arts students^ E. B.White and Henry F. Pringle '19 amongthem; along with such Ags as H. A.Stevenson '19, managing editor of thisALUMNI NEWS^ and John R. Fleming'21, now directing editor of the worldstaff for US News & World Report. Aninformal rapprochement between theArts College's English courses and theAg College in this particular served, ina University which has never had aschool or department of journalism,, toturn out a remarkable number of cap-able, or more than capable, journalists,around that time. ("Send us some moreof your students, Professor," the man-aging editor of The Springfield [Mass.]Union told Adams. "You don't teachthem enough to hurt them.")

A certain intellectual kinship betweenMartin Sampson and Bristow Adams ismanifest in the fact that as part of hisshort course in Journalism, B.A. madeus practice on verse forms, even to thesonnet and triolet, in order to improveour prose. And he was one of the Manu-script Club, of course, just as he was oneof nearly every student group on theCampus; among them the inter-CollegePress Club, later chartered as a chapterof Sigma Delta Chi. He taught drawingand painting in the College of Architec-ture and the history of conservation inthe Department of Forestry, along withhis teaching and editing in Agriculture.He designed that most distinguished ofsmall quarterlies, The Cornell Planta-tions, and put it out as long as he lived.

Helped Make Cornell HumanTo my mind—and I believe that in

this Leonard Elmhirst '21, co-executorwith his wife in providing the CornellUnion, would agree—B.A. was in him-self a living embodiment of the ex-pressed intent of the Willard Straight be-quest: "To make Cornell a more humanplace." I like especially to recall ourwalks down from Roberts Hall, acrossthe Quad and over the swinging bridgeto Fall Creek Drive. I had rooms in theFall Creek apartments, close to theAdams house, and we often walkedhome together at the end of the day. Inwinter, B.A. adorned himself with aheavy overcoat, cut long, and his favor-itp fur cap, a big one. I think he musthave acquired it when he was the officialartist with an exploration of the sealcrop on the Pribilof Islands, off Alaska.It was a beauty.

He never ceased to marvel at thesplendor of winter sunsets over the Lake."Look!" he instructed me suddenly onone occasion. "Like this!" He put downhis briefcase, turned his back to theview, tossed up the skirts of his coat,ducked that fur hat down between hisoutstretched legs, and gazed in rapture

426

at the sunset through the frame thus pro-vided, upside down. "You never can seeall that's in a landscape except in thisway," he told me. And lo! 'twas true. Weperformed the exercise frequently there-after, crouching, turning our butts to thescenery, there among the scurrying

throng on the Quadrangle, who musthave thought us mad.

I commend this simple exercise to allgood Cornellians, in living memory ofBristow Adams and now that the co-edshave taken to slacks and shorts, anynumber can play.—RUSSELL LORD '20

"On the Hill

Controversy over "Contract Eating"THE RECOMMENDATIONS on studenthousing presented by the Faculty Com-mittee on Student Affairs are generallyaccepted on the Campus as steps in theright direction. But the proposal of a"dining & community unit" at Univer-sity Halls with "a contract-eating plan"has flooded student thought with con-troversy.

The Committee noted that ". . . thewomen's dining halls provide betterfood for the women at cheaper ratesthan the men can get off Campus. Yet. . . there has been considerable resist-ance to contract dining for men as estab-lished at nearly all universities. This hasprevented the establishment of a first-class dining hall in the men's dormitoryarea where, with a contract plan, stu-dents could obtain good food with econ-omy and more convenience. Such afacility with appropriate attendantlounges and recreational rooms wouldmake a significant contribution to themorale of the Freshman Class and wouldtend to draw much of the social andrecreational noise out of the dormitoriesthemselves, thus creating better condi-tions for study there. It is recognizedthat establishment of a Freshman com-mons for men would compound theproblems of fraternities and the Uni-versity would be obliged to do somethingabout this. The small chapters have adifficult time maintaining a kitchen anddining room and depend on dining reve-nue from each Freshman Class."

Some students wonder if the Commit-tee felt that the excellent work and pro-gramming of the many devoted studentsand staff of Willard Straight Hall hasnot been much of a success, at least withthe Freshmen. It seems questionable tospend a large sum of money to constructa facility for Freshmen in their dormi-tory area that would duplicate the offer-ings of the student union, especiallysince the proposers seem to feel thatthese existing similar facilities have notbeen used.

Perhaps the most intense reaction tothe proposals has been prompted by thesuggestion of a contract dining plan sim-ilar to that now in effect for women. Ithas been demonstrated with such a planoffered at Willard Straight Hall thatFreshmen did not like the lack of flexi-bility that prohibits a student fromchanging his routine by eating elsewhere.This proposal, along with the others in

March 15, 1960

the report, are suggested to better theliving conditions and morale of theFreshmen and other students. Most stu-dents agree that such a contract diningplan, with its necessary administrativecontrol and atmosphere of regimenta-tion, would seriously and necessarily fallshort of the desired aim of increasingthe "spirit" and morale of the Freshmen.

Also brought out in this issue was thefact that the fraternities would lose aconsiderable amount of revenue fromFreshmen members under such a plan.An Interfraternity Council meeting ofhouse presidents, February 28, voted47-0 that "any proposal dealing withmandatory dining contracts for Fresh-men, for the entire Freshman year, isentirely unacceptable to the fraternitysystem." A statement issued by this grouppointed out that "our primary concernis not the loss of revenue . . . the real con-cern is the possible loss of autonomy as-sociated with financial subsidies fromthe University and the detrimental effectthat this would have on the value of thefraternity system at Cornell."

This statement prompted one of themost expressive editorials published inThe Sun in several years. It called thestatement "as noteworthy for its frank-ness as it is shameful for its narrownessof outlook." But we must remember thatthese house presidents represent some3000 undergraduates who are quitefamiliar with the attitudes of the stu-dents and the virtues of contract diningplans. It would be absurd to assume, asdid The Sun, that these men, chosen asleaders, did not consider the all-impor-tant results of such a program on theunderlying spirit of Cornell life.

Reaction to the disappearance of "gra-cious living" by the women of Balchand Sage Halls has been generallyfavorable. The new buffet dining serv-ice is considered most efficient and af-fords a great degree of flexibility. Whenthis new plan of service was being con-sidered last fall, most co-eds quicklycondemned the idea, but now it appearsthat this type of dining facility is quitesatisfactory.

"Support Love" say twelve gallon-sizebottles strategically placed in variousCampus buildings. This is the sloganused by the Freshman Class to solicitcontributions towards rebuilding andrepairing the Suspension Bridge. The

collections are not expected to cover thewhole cost of repairs, but it is hopedthat enough money can be raised toprovide landscaping for the famousbridge. The Willard Straight Hall Froshhouse committee is sponsoring the drive,which is aimed at providing not only aproject of interest to the Freshmen, butalso a service to the University.

Requirements of theDepartment of Air Science will be metby courses in Mathematics, Physics,Chemistry, Economics, Modern Lan-guages, and Public Speaking and thiswill reduce the military demands onstudents' time by about one-third Up-perclassmen in the advanced course ofboth Air Force & Army ROTC will alsoget credit toward commissions for desig-nated courses taken in the academicDepartments of the University.

The young fellow pictured above gazingdown the throat of a Hibiscus plant in Flor-ida is Harry M. St. John who found his wayin the fall of 1906 from Canajoharie to Ith-aca to join the Class of ΊO. Upon gradu-tion, his first job was with National Carbonin Ohio; then later, he was with Common-wealth Edison Co. of Chicago. World WarI found him as a captain in the US Army.Later, he became an expert in non-ferrousmetals and an author. The latest edition of

428

the Encyclopaedia Brittanica has a 3000-word article on "Founding" written byHarry, and he recently published a book onBrass and Bronze Foundry Practices,which has drawn praise from leadingfoundrymen here in the United States andin many foreign countries. For seventeenyears prior to his retirement in 1955, hewas with Crane Co., one of the world'slargest plumbing supply firms. The valueof his work has twice been given nationalrecognition. In 1947, he was presented theWilliam H. McFadden Medal, a high honorawarded by the American Foundrymen'sAssociation, and in April of 1959, he wasinvited by that association to be the CharlesEdger Hoyle Memorial Lecturer at theirnational convention in Chicago and waspresented an award of "appreciation foroutstanding service" both to the society andto the casting industry.

Since retirement Harry has lived at 9403S. Indian River Dr., Fort Pierce, Fla., over-looking with unbroken sweep the panoramaof the famous Indian River. AlthoughHarry describes his present occupation as"puttering with the Hibiscus," he does findtime to serve on the board of the St. LucieCounty Library, one of the finest small li-braries in Florida. He also has taken an ac-tive part in community betterment work,and is a member of the Indian River DriveAssociation, where he has helped keep awatchdog eye on such matters as zoning,water supply, and other matters affectingthe miles-long residential area lying alongthe Indian River. As a recognized authorityon foundry operation in the field of non-ferrous metals, and even though supposedlyretired, he is called upon to make severaltrips a year, some outside the United States.Harry writes that none of these trips willprevent him from being on hand in Ithacanext June.

The passing of Austin Dunbar takes oneof the old reliables from the Ithaca con-tingent. A native Vermonter, he lived inIthaca for almost sixty years. Four yearsago, he retired from his insurance job inSyracuse and moved back home. Seldomdid Austin miss a Cornell gathering. Hisloyalty to the Ithaca High School Glee Clubfound him carrying the tenor solo at everyone of the Thanksgiving Day concerts. Hehelped organize the first concert, in 1908,and, without a break in between, was stillthere in 1959.

Back in 1908, President William HowardTaft had his replica on the Campus, whenour own Ross Kellogg, captured in the un-derclass mud rush, was paraded as "BillTaft." At that time, our stout Freshmantipped the scales at 305; now he's shriveledoff a bit, but he's still a natural to play SantaClaus. McCurdy & Co. in Rochestergrasped their chance last Christmas season,and during twenty-nine days Ross, dis-guised just a bit, interviewed 8476 children!That's an average of just under 300 a day.Everybody was happy about it, particularlythose children, and the Kellogg-McCurdycontract is already signed for 1960.

Walter G. Seely, still in law practice, islaw secretary to Hon. F. S. Schmidt, officialreferee of the New York Supreme Courtformerly associate justice, Appellate Di-vision, Second Dept. He also holds downseveral other demanding jobs. He says: "Iam lucky enough to be married to the sameLouise and to have both of us in goodhealth. Charles H. Reader's son Arthur('52 AB, Phi Beta Kappa) is pursuinggraduate studies at University of Texas.His son reports new granddaughter wasborn there last November. Alan F. Williamsplans to attend Reunion and is wonderingabout transportation. Aren't we all?

A recent issue of the Ithaca Journalstates that Harry Gordon is "stepping downafter eighteen years as Mr. Politics inTompkins County." Born in London, Eng-land in 1894, Harry came over in 1907. Hewas a chemist for a dozen or more yearsafter graduation. Since then, politics andan important part in every worthy activityin and around Ithaca have formed the pat-tern of Harry's life.

Clark D. Abbott is still happy andhealthy. He should add to the life of theReunion. Ira E. Cole will be at Reunion.W. Noyes Baker, after three years' residencein Florida, facing a pretty little lake, hasbecome an enthusiastic Floridian and saysthat barring an emergency he'll never comeNorth again.

R. L. Hoag writes: "My wife (Ruth DeNoney '22) and I are spending the winterat 10401 Pine Blvd., St. Petersburg, Fla. Ihope to be able to take in the 45th Re-union." Percy N. Daniels reports: "I wentthrough one of these health clinics lastweek and the internist said he'd pass me forthe Air Corps. Of course, he really meantthe Yard Birds. Not retired yet. It doesn'tlook as if my consulting work will let mefor a while." John C. Smaltz is a regionalReunion vice-chairman for the New Yorkarea. And he says: "Hear this! Prepare forJune, 1960."

Walter R. Unangst has just been electedto the Quakertown, Pa. school board. Wil-liam H. (Hal) Tyler writes: "Chances forgetting to Reunion are slim, much as Iwould enjoy it. I cannot understand whymore Ί5ers aren't paying Class dues. Cer-tainly no one can get bust 'at these prices.'Good luck with the directory. Best per-sonal wishes." John G. Thompson is takingit easy near the shores of the Potomac andwill be in good form for the Reunion.

'16Harry F. Byrne141 BroadwayNew York 6, N.Y.

Harry Byrne has asked me to help himwith the '16 column. You have no idea whata chore it is when your Classmates don'tsend in items of interest. Luckily, many ofour boys have recently called, phoned, orother Cornellians have advised me of '16doings.

World Travelers: Fred Griffith (Utica)has retired from A.T.&T. They gave him agrand dinner and Fred is now in HongKong, and expects to be in Rome sometimein April. Gran Schleicher phoned he hadlunch with Bill Willett and Shrimp Conklinrecently at the Chamber of Commerce,

downtown New York, and met Don Baldwinalso lunching there. Shrimp has retired andis spending time in Florida, Bill is leavingsoon for Hong Kong, and Grant plans togo to Texas, the West Coast, and on toHawaii shortly. A card from Birge Kinne,who is in Mexico—a new hobby, photogra-phy. Frank Thomas phoned me, as didHarold Bache, and the latter is on a triparound the world. He and Alice stopped inPalm Beach recently and had dinner withMrs. Bob (Leah) Dahn. Pat Irish winteredin Malaga, Spain, and he and Ruth plan togo to Scandinavia and will stop in Stock-holm and see Eric Ericson '21. ("Counter-feit Traitor"). Pat tells me he will be backin the States in time to attend our annualdinner in Ithaca at the Statler Club, Friday,June 10. Speaking of this dinner, and Ihope you can attend, last year (when Icouldn't attend), Johnny Hoffmire tookover the job as m.c. and we had abouttwenty Classmates present.

For next June, I have heard from JohnnyHoffmire (presently on the West Coast),Al Carpenter, Van Hart, Birge Kinne,Grant Schleicher, Pat Irish, Jim Moore,Fran Scheetz, and guests Bob Kane '34,Francis Mineka ('16 Prof), and our two'16 scholars, Phil Rogers and Conrad Bal-liet. The dinner will be held as usual inthe Willcox Room in the Statler Club.

Speaking of Francis Mineka, he was guestof honor of the Cornell Women's Club ofNew York at a luncheon held recently atthe Roosevelt Hotel. He talked about"Liberal Arts Education at Cornell' andit was excellent. Charlie Eppleur and Iwere present, as well as three or four others,and several hundred girls. Quite an after-noon. Florence Daly '24 designed the pro-gram, which depicted on the cover the"1916 Chair" with the Library Tower inthe background. Very effective.

Have had many phone calls and visitsfrom Cornellians since my retirement. Re-cent callers included Bill and Hazel Nugent,Janet and Eddie Aycrigg, Birge and Marg-aret Kinne. We hope many more will dropin at Eton Lodge, Scarsdale.

Please drop Harry or me a line and tellus of trips, retirement, grandchildren, orany interesting information, so that we canput it in this Column. Your friends wouldlike to hear about you.—BUB PFEIFFER

Men—The 1960 Cornell Direc-tory of Living Alumni has beendistributed and is a colossal value

at $10 a copy. One of the three on theAlumni Directory committee responsiblefor this valuable volume was our own Pro-fessor A. Wright (Gibby) Gibson. Congrat-ulations on a gigantic job well done!

Glen Acheson is back from his cruise andis busy preparing for our Baby Reunion,Monday, April 18, at the Cornell Club ofNew York. Glen is retired and resides inthat famous old house on Old Post Rd.,East Setauket, the "Mansion Where GeorgeWashington Slept." Ben Potar writes fromHollywood Beach, Fla. that he must missour Class dinner this year because he andMrs. Potar will not return north until theend of April. We shall miss Ben's stories.Had a nice letter from Paul Segnitz whostated he had sold his home in St. Peters-burg, Fla., was wandering around theSouthwest and may settle in Las Vegas,Nev, If he does, I'll bet on Paul against

Ί7

those one-armed bandits out there, and thelivings bandits, too! Paul says he will writeagain when he is settled permanently.

A letter from Harold J. (Red) Evanssays he will try to get to our Class dinner,April 18, and he is looking forward to our45th in 1962. Red is a "potato" authorityraising "Pinnacle Brand" certified seed andtable stock potatoes on his farm at George-town. Charlie Colman '12 writes that hisson, John C. Colman '48, has been elected avice-president of A. G. Becker & Co., in-vestment bankers with main office in Chi-cago. Our own Jim Becker is a member ofthe firm. Incidentally, Charlie said he readabout his son's promotion in the Wall StreetJournal!

Don Maclay, 48 Hawthorne Place, Sum-mit, says he expects to see the Heps inIthaca, March 12, and "You can bet I'llbe at the '17 dinner, April 18, and will pro-mote this Baby Reunion among our Class-mates in this area." Don was busy at thattime with his usual interview work forCornell applicants and states they seem tobe of higher quality each year. His olderson, Don '56, after three years in the Navy,is now with Warren Wire Co., Pownall, Vt.The younger son, John '58, is still with BellTelephone Laboratories and has an 8-month-old son. Don exclaims, "So I'mfinally a grandfather!" Daughter Sally,Wells College '61, is spending her junioryear in Germany at University of Munich.Don and Mrs. Maclay have great plans forthe summer which we will outline in a fu-ture column.

Richard Cory is "on the roam" again.He's in Panama where the fishing, hunting,and swimming are great, so he reports. Andwhere there aren't so many people tobother a person! Dick likes the outdoorsand lots of room to wander around withoutthe restraints of so-called civilization. Dick'ssemi-permanent address is 728 JeffersonAve., Lakeland, Fla. Joel Sammet is busyworking for Class Chairman Don Malloryand the Cornell Fund and also states he willhave a gang at our April 18 dinner. Joelheads Joel E.

This year of 1960 seems likely to becomenoted for the number who are now cele-brating their fortieth year on the job. BillBlewett, for example, got his reward fromNewport News Shipbuilding & Drydockrecently. Bill started in the engine drawingroom there in 1919, went on to assistant tothe president, production manager, execu-tive vice-president, and then finally in 1954to president. And Western Electric has justmade a similar award to George G. Olson,who started in as a power engineer so manylong years ago and is now assistant superin-tendent of equipment engineering for thatvast Bell Telephone service company.George is a past-president of Telephone Pi-oneers of America and lists among his hob-bies sailing, fishing, and skating. He ratesas a specialist in the handling of a sailingkayak, which is described for us landlubbersas a small fiber-glass covered boat, pointedat both ends and fitted with outriggers.

Cornell Alumni News

George and his wife Ellen can also boastof three married children and three grand-children.

Rog (Roger W.) Farquhar wrote in thesad news recently of his wife's death. Nowthat he has retired, he's looking around fora nice sunny spot where he can take upresidence far away from 975 Park Ave., hispresent abode. Adrian F. (Murph) Shan-non remains active as an investment adviserin Lima, Ohio, but he reports having givenup golf. However, he has a 14-year-old sonwho is carrying on at the game. FrederickW. Crane was elected vice-president ofAmerican Public Works Association at itsannual convention in Seattle last fall. Fredlives and works in Buffalo.

The number of ΊSers who went into theteaching profession and are still active in itis something that continues to amaze me.Harry A. Collins has been teaching Spanishat A. B. Davis High School in Mt. Vernonsince 1922, is now chairman of the Spanishdepartment there. He notes that MauriceKaplowitz has been teaching mathematicsat Brooklyn Boys High School ever since hegraduated. Unhappily, however, I have alsoto report that William D. Warren, longtimeprofessor of chemistry and head of the de-partment of chemistry at Western Collegefor Women, Oxford, Ohio., suffered a fatalheart attack last September. And one finalnote about teachers: R. E. Cary has justretired after teaching in the Baldwinsvilleschool for thirty-four years, but he ap-parently intends to continue living in Bald-winsville.

To end on a bright note, let me quotefrom that wise old sage of the Class, LouFreedman: "It would appear to me that theold and venerable graduates like us shouldbecome more and more fond of Cornellafter the full and complete lives we havelived as a result of the education and in-spiration we received." Lou, incidentally,doubtless continues his law practice, but hewrites that an activity which requiresgreater concentration on his part consistsof playing as a member of the Cornell Clubbridge team, which won three of its firstfive matches at last reports.

'18 AB—Mrs. James C. Huntington (Jo-anna Donlon) was named Woman of theYear by the Bethlehem Business & Profes-sional Women's Club in October.

Every now and then your correspondenthas a piece of good luck which lightens hislabors and enlightens his readers. A case inpoint is the following interesting letter fromJohn Shepard:

I left for Johannesburg, South Africa, Janu-ary 10, from whence I have just returned. Iregretted missing the Cornell get-together inNew York, January 23.

Charlie Baskerville had told me that lastyear he painted a mural for the home of

March 15, 1960

Charles Engelhard of Engelhard Industries,who intermittently lives in Johannesburg. Heaccordingly arranged for my visit to theEngelhard home. It was one of my mostmemorable experiences there to have seenCharlie's large masterpiece, in which he cap-tured the intense sunlight, the lush country,and the intrinsic mood of South Africa. It isa non-objective painting of true magnitudein color and composition. I have since calledCharlie about my reaction to his fine painting.I suggest that if any of our Classmates visitJohannesburg, that they do not miss the op-portunity to view the magnificent results ofCharlie's creativity.

Just to keep the record straight, the twoClassmates mentioned above are B. JohnShepard, 220 E. Seventy-third St., NewYork City 21, and Charles Baskerville, 130West Fifty-seventh St., New York City 19.

Robert G. Skinner, 857 Chester Rd.,Charleston, West Va., is now retired. Be-fore retirement, he was division commercialmanager of Appalachian Power Co. inCharleston. He has been spending summersat his cottage on Chautauqua Lake, wherehe has a Comet sail boat. He has also beenspending some time in Florida during recentwinters. This retired life routine soundsgood to your servant, who is still laboring.

George S. Long, 3715 North Thirty-eighth St., Tacoma 7, Wash., has been withWeyerhaeuser Timber Co. for some fortyyears and is now secretary. He has a sonand daughter and four grandchildren. Heis a director of the National Bank of Wash-ington and Pacific First Federal Savings &Loan Association and a trustee and past-president of the Tacoma General Hospital.He is also a life member of the Shrine.

H. (Harry) Brooks Hoffman of 921 Hoff-man St., Elmira, reports that he has fourchildren and ten grandchildren. He is withHoffman Nurseries, Inc., and is a memberof the board of managers of the Arnot Og-den Memorial Hospital, Elmira.

Albert L. Dittmar of 1020 MemorialAve., Williamsport, Pa., reports that he hasbeen retired since 1956. He retired June 1,1956 after having worked for the Common-wealth of Pennsylvania Department ofHighways for thirty-seven years. Sincethen, he and Mrs. Dittmar have traveledconsiderably, and have done some huntingand fishing, and enjoyed life generally.Summer home is at Linglestown, RD 1, Pa.

John M. Larson, whose address is 332North Seventh St. Springfield, Ore., isowner of Larson Motors. He reports thathe has a grandson and a granddaughter.Jack discovered at a Cornell meeting inPortland that a goodly number of Cornel-Hans reside in Oregon.

Stafford L. Austin is president of HiloTransportation & Terminal Co., Ltd. 7,PO Box 455, Hilo, Hawaii. He was repre-sentative from the second district to theTerritorial Legislature last year, so he ratesan "Honorable" before his name. Unlessmy memory is at fault, the last time yourscribe saw Austin was in 1918, when wewere both second lieutenants at Camp Han-cock, Ga.

And youknow what? In less than 90 days the oleClass'll be "swingin' to the real thing" atthe greatest whing ding Reunion ever heldon the Libe slope. It's amazing how thisthing is catching on; acceptances pouringin like mad, and we're way behind gettingall the news into print. The greatest namesin '20 history ever to be jammed togetherin one tent will be there to give you theglad hand.

Herb Grigson and wife (GretchenSchweitzer) '21 have just returned from a13,500-mile trip through sixteen Europeancountries since last August. Herb didn't dothis hopping by pole vault (his undergradspecialty) but by Simca, picked up atSouthampton. Having taken a half-yearsabbatical from Roxborough H.S. in Phila-delphia, where he is director of phys. ed.,they visited The Swedish Institute in Stock-holm, the Sporthochschule at Cologne, andmade a studied, unhurried journey throughEurope, moving as the spirit moved them,getting maximum enjoyment in a leisurelymanner. (Oh to be rich!) You can hearmore about this in June from Herb himself.

After thirty-five years' manufacturing icecream, Francis J. (Blondy) Oates of Nor-wich has switched to the more solid lines ofwholesale tobacco, cigarettes, gum, candy,and has a few beef cattle on the side. Butit's still the "feed" business to Oates and ifhe'd only add popcorn and cracker jack,Blondy'd get the Reunion concession forsure. One thing is sure; he'll be there!

It'll be easy and quick to get to Reunionfor A. A. Weber, who takes one healthy skipand a jump from 302 College Ave. and he'sthere. Gus started his own wholesale lumberbusiness in Ithaca in 1939 and twice a yeartakes a big swing around the western Statesto pick up a few sticks of wood. They talkonly Cornell in the Weber household: Mrs.W. was Hazel Torbert '18; son John W. '49married Jean Miller '50, and now there'llbe three more Webers in Classes '77 to '81,ad infinitum!

Jim Carney of Montclair, N.J. positivelywill be there. So will Doug Hopkins fromBuffalo; Claude Weinheimer, Detroit; DonLeith, New York City; Julius Schmid, NewRochelle; Ralph Reeve, North Branch,N.J.; and Gordon MacKeller from MorrisPlains, N.J. And there are others!

Now, how about it? Have you orderedthat sporty June costume yet, and sent yourcheck with measurements to Henry Ben-isch? Well, then do it now; the deadline isaround your neck, and it's about to beyanked. Don't let this happen to you!There are some guys, not young but wise,

Who'll come without, not with, their wives;We can't be sure, but just surmise

The ones who'll have the time of theirlives

Who—the guys? No, you fool, their wives!

Albert L. Lentz, now of 39 Union Ave.,SE, Grand Rapids 6, Mich., has a parsi-monious message for us. Bert, the leader ofthe German Band that visits Ithaca onceevery five years? writes that he is "still sell-

431

ing machinery and manages to get threemeals per day." This demonstrates the divi-dends one may expect from four years onThe Hill. Bert adds that he sees John Min-ty occasionally at Shaw-Box Crane Co. inMuskegon and is starting a campaign to getJohn back for the 1961 Reunion. As an in-ducement, he plans to let John lead theband for one number. This is no small sacri-fice when you recall that Bert was leader ofthe Big Red Band while in school and spentfour years with the University Orchestra.He also ran on the Varsity cross countryteam. Bert was pretty good, but I had nodifficulty keeping up with him for the firsthalf-mile of the five-mile run.

Well, what do you know. Rog (RogerD.) McPherson and wife are back at 228West l l th St., New York City 14, after fouryears in Italy where Rog conducted theRome office of Litchfield, Whiting &Browne, architects. Rog began as art editorof the Cornell Widow and, as you mightimagine, would be the most likely architectto look for a soft spot in Europe where hecould eat spaghetti, drink vino rosso, andgoggle at the Italian widows when his wifewasn't looking. However, he claims that hisduties were very demanding, as he was en-gaged in the planning and design of manyhospitals in the Middle East in such placesas Baghdad (medical city for the govern-ment of Iraq) and several in Iran. On hisreturn to the relatively prosaic life of Man-hattan Island, Rog has become hospital ar-chitect in the US Public Health Service,Region 2, at 42 Broadway. Molto bene, Rog-er is simo.

A. W. (Rit) Ritterhausen, Ag, of 87Clinton Ave., Nyack 6, is now in his twen-ty-ninth year as principal of the NyackHigh School. He has a total of thirty-eightyears in public school education and statesthat he is still going strong. Rit says thatlast winter they organized a strong CornellClub in Rockland County with DickJewett '24 as president. The Club hasproved its genuine value to alumni in thearea.

Garry Duryea (Dr. Garrett D. Duryea),a Brooklyn boy who made good in GlenCove (30 Landing Rd.), after having madegood on the track and cross country teamsat Cornell, is still engaged in general prac-tice and surgery. Not content with the rigorsof medical work, Garry, having recentlycompleted a five-year term on the schoolboard, is now president of the CommunityConcerts Association of Glen Cove.

Bob (Robert H.) Bennett of TalmadgeHill, New Canaan, Conn., is not in compe-tition as the first '21 graduate to have a greatgrandchild. However, he has made a good,if belated start, as he was presented withinten days in November with two grandchil-dren. These were not twins but one eachfrom his son and daughter.

Bob (Robert A.) Mitchell continues aschief engineer for the City of Wilmington,is a member of the city zoning appeal boardand the New Castle County regional plan-ning commission. Bob's daughter is a juniorat Springfield College. He lives at 1910Longcome Dr., Wilmington 3, Del.

Men—I can recall most of ourannual dinners and, no doubt,several others of the regular at-

tendees can. However, certain ones havebeen filed away in my mind as having been

'22

better than others but, on my mental rank-ing list, the Famous Last Friday of 1960comes out on top. Perhaps it was the songleading by Hank Schultheis with his res-onant tenor voice, the witty sayings of ChickNorris, or the feeling of rejuvenation in-spired by the revival of the old popularsong hits by Carl Schraubstader. In fact, itwas generally agreed that the new songscan't compare with such gems as, "Siren ofthe Southern Seas," "Beautiful Faces NeedBeautiful Clothes," and Carl's own, "LastNight on the Back Porch." Boy, our kidswould have gotten a real chuckle out ofhearing a bunch of ginks making with those.

Dean F. C. (Ted) Baldwin was toast-master, but yielded to informality as eachnew tall tale or old song suggested anotheruntil practically every one got into the act.Because of the loyalty of Frank Trau, shownby regularly coming from Texas to attendthese parties, he was elected "HonoraryDam Yankee," and presented with a cer-tificate attesting thereto. Bob Fisher of SanFrancisco and an ardent member of our3000-Mile Club, kept his word and was onhand. Walker Cisler broke away from an-other important meeting in New York intime to arrive while the party was still goingstrong. Those who attended for the firsttime are Chris Christiansen, Ollie Corn-stock, Larry Eddy, and Bill Kugeman. Allin all, there were 58 there, mostly regulars,a few short of the 60 we were shooting for.However, if some of our more ardent weren'talso more affluent, we would have brokenall records. Ben Burton was enroute toAfrica, Tommy Thompson left for Cali-fornia, Fritz Utz was somewhere out of thecountry, Caesar Grasselli was on a jauntto Europe, Howie Wolff was sunning him-self in the Carribean, and Don McAllisterwas out on the West Coast.—JOE MOTYGKA

Women—It's a long time sinceyou've heard from me. I've neverheard from you. You were sup-

posed to send me news about yourself, so Icould send it along and share it with therest of the Class. Remember? I'm still at 24Brookdale Rd., Cedar Grove, N.J., and I'llbe waiting to hear from you. So write.

We have much sad news to report. Mil-dred Bool DeVries died of a heart attackat her home in Upper Montclair, N.J. inNovember. Helen Palmer Silcox lost herhusband this January. From Ruth Irish, Ilearned that Kaddy Blauvelt Woolf diedlast September in Altadena, Cal., and thatBetty Pratt VaiΓs husband died in Los An-geles last November. We deeply sympathizewith those who have lost a loved one andknow that we, too, have lost a friend.

At the New York luncheon, February 6,I learned that Ruth Irish is now assistantvice-president of the Union Dime SavingsBank, a bank position rarely achieved bywomen. I forgot to ask Ruth if she is thefirst to reach that high office in such an im-portant bank. Congratulations, Ruth! Au-gusta Wolf Sarna was also at our table. She'sactive in the New York Club (has evencooked dinner for them in her apartmentto be served in the 277 Park Ave. Clubrooms), and is doing a splendid job of in-terviewing girls for Cornell as secondaryschools chairman of the New York Club.Hazel Wright Thompson has a daughterpreparing for college and hopes it may beCornell, as she has two Penn Staters one

Rutgers, and one Swarthmore among herfour graduated offspring. Nathalie CohenDavis was there, too. Helen Cherouney Dur-kin was listed, but I didn't see her. It was asmaller '22 gathering than usual at the NewYork luncheon.

From Escondido, Cal. comes news of El-inor Close Ritchie's new grandson, makingat least three for her. I know many of youcan count more grandchildren than that,but I've never had a list or file of the Class,so have no statistics to give. I'll gather whatI can, and if you'll send me news of you andyours, I'll see to it that it reaches theAIUMNI NEWS and the women of '22.

Back in 1924, William D. Gohr (above)thought Firestone Tire & Rubber Co.would be a good means of keeping the wolfaway from the door. He became a memberof its first college training class and was as-signed to the purchasing division where hespecialized in buying rubber chemicals andpigment. During World War II, he becameactive in the establishment of subcontract-ing for a number of Firestone defense proj-ects and was named manager of the Boforsantiaircraft gun plant which provided morethan 30,000 units for allied forces. Afterthe war he became purchasing agent of thecompany, in 1951 he was named generalmanager of Firestone's defense productsplant in Akron, became director of defenseactivities for the company in 1954, and in1956 manufactures sales manager. ThatFirestone Co. knows a good man when itsees one. In January, it completed the for-mation of a new production division for themanufacture of molded fiber products,called Fibrocast, and who was appointed asgeneral manager? William D. Gohr, Con-gratulations, Bill.

News comes from the girls of the Class.Sally Beard has been good enough to sendme some items and I propose to includethem in future columns. The following newaddresses will be of interest: MargueritePigott Wedell and Carl F. Wedell '24, 507Devon PL, West Islip; they returned to NewYork from Rotterdam, March 1. MarjorieProbasco Brownell and Claude L. Brown-ell '24 are moving from Morristown, Tenn.to 315 College St., Greenville, Ky., whereClaude is project accountant on his secondsteam plant at Paradise, Ky. This is hiseleventh TVA job and he is rounding out aquarter century with TVA, nine dams infour States. They have nine grandchildren,which makes Marjorie a grand dam.

Dr. Fred Ziman writes from his NewYork address that he is a specialist in physi-cal medicine and rehabilitation. Fred'sloyalty to Cornell descended to the secondgeneration. He has one daughter, Sarah I.,who graduated from Cornell in '52. He hastwo more daughters, 8 and 3, whom hehopes to see graduate with the Classes of'74 and '79. A startling bit of prognostica-tion. Fred goes on further to point out thatif his daughters graduate on this occasion itwill be the Class of '24's 50th and 55th Re-union, at which time Fred says he'll bewheeling along the paths of the Campusalong with the rest of us.

Ed William, Jr. of Washington, D.C. re-ports briefly that he is with the Departmentof Agriculture, has been, as a matter of fact,since his graduation, except for a brief yearacting solo, on his own behalf, i.e. self-em-ployed. Dave Traub, Ft. Myer, Va., sayshe's had thirty-five years with the Armyand is now a major general and director ofthe Army budget. He plans to retire fromthe Army "for age" in December 1962. Gen-eral Dave is obviously in good health. Wit-ness his report that he is a "fair squashplayer, playing 3 to 4 times weekly; wonthe Fort Hood (Tex.) championship." Davewas married in 1947 and has two young-sters, Davy, 9, and Susan, 4.

We reported in June that Charlie Strongwas back in Chile. He writes Johnny Broth-ers: "I play bridge and little golf. I am liv-ing on the Chilean Nitrate Desert, where Ispent six years back in 1927-33. Now I amrunning open-pit mining operations." Char-lie says further "I was sorry to miss the Re-union" and says he doesn't really expect tomake it back to the States until some timethis year.

A brief note from Jack Musselman callsour attention,to an error we made in theJune 1 column. I reported that Jack was

March 15, 1960

liaison engineer for H. Roch & Sons inCalifornia. The name of the companyshould be H. Koch & Sons. Please correctyour files.

Dr. George Ladas of Roselle, N.J. re-ports that he is still active in the practice ofsurgery and gynecology, and that, as of thetime of his report to Johnny, he was plan-ning to spend Christmas in California andgo on to Hawaii. George's son, George,graduated from Cornell last year with aBS in Hotel Administration and in his lasttwo years played guard on the Varsity foot-ball team. I hope we'll get a report fromGeorge on his California-Hawaii trip.

Women—Oh, my achin' back!The things I do to get news forthis column! It took most of the

week I was in Costa Rica to locate MillieUher Prosdocimi, but the day before I leftfor Nicaragua I managed to hitch a ride ina Volkswagen panel truck up to the Inter-American Institute of Agricultural Sciencesat Turrialba, where Millie is with an ex-tension education unit sponsored by ICA.We bumped and bounced the entire 70kilometers up and down the mountains ona rough, narrow, and extremely curvy roadin absolute silence since the driver spokeno English and I do not speak Spanish. Thiswas especially frustrating because the driv-er was a handsome young fellow whosmiled at me the whole time he tore alongat high speed. (In Costa Rica no driverwould slow down just because he's passinga big fat bus on a very narrow mountaincurve!)

I had lunch with Millie and her threechildren at their home. The kids had corn-ered a very large frog in the back yard justas I arrived which I thought appropriatefor a '37 reunion! In the afternoon, I metsome of Millie's colleagues at the Instituteand learned about the various facets of itswork. Millie teaches an extension graduateseminar as well as working to put home ecextension on a more professional level in allof Latin America. She goes wherever theUSOM (US Overseas Mission) requestsher, had just returned from Colombia, wasleaving February 8 for Venezuela for amonth to help organize a university homeec school in the Maracay Agricultural Col-lege (branch of University of Caracas). InMay, she will go to Chile. Since it is vaca-tion time now in Costa Rica schools, shewas taking the children (Kathy, 9, Barbara,7, Richard, 6) along to Venezuela. Theyattend the school for children of the Insti-tute staff.

Before speeding back to San Jose somefive hours later (again in silence, this timein a station wagon with six other passengers,none of whom spoke or understood Eng-lish), Millie took me to visit a sugar mill,cacao, coffee, and banana plantations. Itwas a '37 visit I'll remember a long time.Millie sent this message: "We are ratherisolated here, but we don't mind as thereare so many interesting people, of all na-tionalities, Latin, and European, evenChinese and Australians. Also a lot to do.Many regards and say hello to all myfriends."—CAROL CLINE

Mrs. Andrew A. Bell (Dorothy Reynolds)of Cambridge writes the most fantastic let-ter about her "champion family," sevenboys and two girls. She says they are allhealthy, happy and "on the go." "Alan is15, 9th grade, senior band clarinet player,explorer scout, and DeMolay. Sylvia is 13,8th grade, plays flute and piccolo in seniorband (also the piano), and is a girl scout.Teddy is 12 in 6th grade, plays trumpet injunior band and is a boy scout. Bruce is 10in 5th grade, plays trombone in juniorband and is a cub scout. Peter is 8 in 3dgrade, takes piano lessons so he can makeband quickly when he gets to 5th grade,and is also a cub scout. Jimmy is 7 in 2dgrade (he's my piano pupil for a year) andRobbie is 5 in kindergarten. There are still2 at home, Philip, almost 4, and Virginia,2." She goes on to say: "Anyone who wouldlike to test his nerves need only walk in thehouse at 5:30 p.m. with the small fry listen-ing to cartoons on TV, rock and roll com-

ing from a radio upstairs, Sylvia practicingpiano and some uncertain notes comingfrom trumpet or trombone in remote corn-ers of the house. It isn't really that bad allthe time, but we have our moments." Dot-ty's husband Andy is in his own contractingbusiness in Cambridge and now that Dottyis through with bottles, etc. she put hername on the substitute teachers' list and iscurrently teaching two children disabledwith muscular dystrophy one hour a day.Can anyone top this? On top of all this, shekeeps smiling and is looking forward toseeing "us all" in 1961.
