The fact about ConnecticutMutual life insurance is this: we have consistentlybeen a leader in low cost for our policyholders, asproved again in the latest 20-year industry-wide coststudy, 1949-1969. Yet, surprisingly, nobody buildsbetter quality into their policies. If you'd like moredetails see one of our Blue Chip representatives.He'll accommodate you. Gladly....and this year: new policies, new rates,new low cost!

How do you feel about your sonas executor of your will?

Don't laugh.Most wills are executed by sons (or daughters)

who don't know the first thing about it.They find out the hard way by having to make

dollars and cents decisions based on complex taxlaws. And being held legally responsible.

But you can save your son the worry of coping

with problems like these.Appoint our Trust Department as co-executor

of your will. Your son and family lawyer willappreciate the way our Trust Specialists help workthings out, without getting in the way.

We've been at it since 1836. And that's a lot ofproblems already solved for a lot of sons.

A wide umbrella• We have always resented generaliza-tions, particularly about the universitywe report. Thus you can got a big argu-ment here if you suggest all professorsare forgetful, students long haired orsmelly, Cornell radical (or conservative),or a generation silent.

Dealing with a plausible generalizationis difficult. One way is to stamp it outbefore it gets started, a technique we tryto follow in putting together this maga-zine. The main tactic is to present asmany profiles of individuals and smallgroups within the university communityas possible. Out of a panorama we hopereaders will come to be aware of thediversity of the university and possiblybe less susceptible to generalizationswhen they come along. This issue of theNEWS will be no exception.

Most readers are aware of the greatnumber of highly successful industrialleaders who graduated from Arts & Sci-enes, Engineering, and Law during thefirst two decades of the century. For di-

versity, the university also produced anumber of outstanding writers during thesame period, Romeyn Berry '04, GeorgeJean Nathan '04, Hendrik Willem vanLoon '05, Kenneth Roberts '18, MorrisBishop '14, Frank Sullivan '14, William

Hazlett Upson '14, Louis Bromfield '18,Laura Hobson '21 and E. B. White '21.In this issue we pay long overdue noticeto White, in our book the leading Ameri-can essayist and our candidate for thetitle of alumnus we're proudest of.

Another alumnus who brought fame tothe university is the subject of BobKane's column this month, John PaulJones '13. We are indebted to FritzKrebs '12 for the photographs in thestory and for this one, of Jones as afreshman. Jones was to hold the world'srecord for the mile run for four years,and the collegiate record for twenty-seven.

Fame never changed his unassumingstyle. As an undergraduate I met him atthe annual Penn football games in Phila-delphia. It seemed hard to imagine thisquiet man had held such an honor as aworld track record. He was one of thefirst "alumni" I can remember meeting,and he set a pretty high standard inevery regard.

• Still on the anti-generalization thing,we find on our desk this month a full-length article in a Los Angeles Timesmagazine of last year, entitled "YoungFolk Hero Even Without the Baez Mar-riage," and a short article in a 1969Saturday Review, entitled "Reply to aVietnam Veteran." Both are by or aboutalumni.

The first deals with the late RichardFarina '59, poet, novelist, recording art-ist, husband of Joan Baez's sister Mimibefore his death in a motorcycle accidenton his 29th birthday. The second is byLt. Col. William C. Haponski '55, holderof a Cornell PhD earned in 1967, asso-ciate professor of English at West Point.He was replying to a critic of US con-duct in Vietnam. The two men's worldsare as far apart as imaginable, yet bothwere alumni.

We are further reminded of the diver-sity of the alumni body when told by afriend in Ithaca that Ben Nzeribe, PhD'58, a former member of Parliament inNigeria and a village leader in Biafra,was wounded in the final days of thesenseless Biafran war. His hospital wastwo miles from the main Biafran air-

strip. A bomb explosion blew shrapnelinto one of his feet. At last report hewas recovering well.

• Every writer has mentors, recog-nized or otherwise. We fully acknowl-edge one of ours here and now, WilliamJ. Waters '27, who retired last year aseditor after more than forty years withthe Ithaca Journal. He is a true discipleof Prof. "Will" Strunk, English, whose"little book" was immortalized by E. B.White when he wrote a foreword to anew edition of it eleven years ago.

Bill is a real craftsman when it comesto copy editing and composing simple,understandable English. He comes bythis from the tutorship of Strunk, asdoes White. Several of those of us whohad worked for Bill on the Journal wereasked to write remarks upon his retire-ment. It was with horror that I read theJournal's account of what I said, becausethe possessive form of Waters had be-come Water's.

Horror because Professor Strunk's firstrule of English composition deals withadding 's to form a possessive from anoun with an "s" at the end.

What poorer way to show respect fora copyeditor than to violate a copyread-ing rule in writing of him. Fortunately,the same error had been repeatedthroughout the article and thus could beblamed on a typesetter or maybe even atypesetting computer, neither of whichwould have descended in any direct linefrom Professor Strunk.

• Belatedly, we are advised of theidentity of the blood donor with thethermometer in his mouth whose picturewas on the cover of the January NEWS.We did not know his identity at the timeof publication. He is Howard Kaye, anassistant professor of English.

• The university's ability to comedown on all sides of a question is wellrepresented in New York State's politicsat the moment. Three of the leading Re-publican congressmen from the state areHoward Robison '37, Alexander Pirnie'24, and Barber Conable Jr. '43. At thesame time four alumni are seeking thethree top Democratic statewide nomina-tions: William vanden Heuvel '50, forGovernor; Rep. Richard Ottinger '50,for US senator; and Adam Walinsky '57and William Greenawalt '56, for attorneygeneral. Of course other schools havecandidates for these positions too.

The Role of the Professorby Stephen J. Tonsor, Professor of History,

University of Michigan

It seems to me self-evident that the university is not;in the first instance, a political forum. The role of theprofessor does not involve providing political leader-ship. The role of the professor does not include his be-coming a revolutionary propagandist. The office of theprofessor does not make him the moral and politicalarbiter of his society. To believe any of these things isto entertain a delusion so dangerous as to lead to thedestruction of the university.

What then is the legitimate role of the universityprofessor? In the first instance his role is essentiallyconservative. He is the keeper and transmitter of acultural tradition. Far from being a cultural revolu-tionary, society expects him to transmit the heritage ofthe past unimpaired to the next generation. Societydoes not ask him to be a politician, it does not ask himto have any political views at all, but it does expecthim to know Latin or German, Chemistry or Zoology,History or Accounting.

In the second instance, the university professor isdedicated to the methods and procedures of rationalenquiry. He enlarges the sum total QΪ knowledge, notby an act of faith or through a religious or politicalcommitment but through an application of his mind toa particular problem. He believes that in the world ofreasoned enquiry truth is not determined by votes orthe liveliness of one's sentiments but by existentialreality and he believes, moreover, that there is amethod for exploring that reality which can be taughtas a discipline. He is quite unwilling to see teachingdegraded to ari exchange of fuzzy opinions.

Moreover, he believes that exploring the truth ofany question requires the open exploration and debateof all the aspects of the question. He does not believethat a genuine social science is possible which ex-cludes from exploration certain assumptions concern-ing human society. He does not believe that a genuineeconomics is possible which permits only certain eco-nomic views to be heard. He does not believe that avalid American history is possible which excludes, mis-interprets, or misappropriates important portions ofthe American past.

Finally, the professor at his best is a critic. His criti-cism, however, rests upon his ability to present andweigh alternatives rationally. He should be able to tellus better than most men what the costs of a particularline of action or program within his field of compe-tence will be. It is not his role to choose ends for usbut rather to enable us to assess what the consequenceswill be. He will do this humbly and without arrogancerealizing that the unanticipated consequences of ra-tional action must also be reckoned a part of anyrational plan. He will not and cannot be a Utopianhawking political patent medicines from the privilegedand protected podium from which he speaks.

Now, of course you give your assent to this for yourealize that what I have said is a part of the politeparlance of academic life, but in fact many professorsreject the idea of the university as an open forum inwhich truth is ascertained.

Readers wishing additional information regardingthis Committee and its objectives should write us.

Recently, I bought a box of books at anauction. In the box I found a 1928 Cornellyearbook. I don't want to throw it away,but who would want it? Mrs. O. W. E.,Germantown.

Although,there really isn't much to remember about'28. Except for rowing, Cornell was a novicein sports. Best officials can say of theschool's athletes that year is they "wereimbued with the spirit of fair play andsportsmanship; they frowned on 'dirty ball'."

• The January issue had a pieceabout our former undergraduate corres-pondent, Geof Hewitt '66. It mentionedhe was editing a book of poetry about tobe published. Now it's here, and the NewYork Times of February 20 had kindwords for the volume, Quickly AgingHere, Some Poets of the 1970s:

The new decade hasn't even signed in atthe history desk, and here is Geof Hewitttelling it how it is going to shape up—inpoetry, anyhow. These, he says are theforms, the attitudes, the people and thegeneral texture of the new poetry. The ad-jective is his. He has chosen those who, hefeels, were among the best but unrecog-nized poets in the last half of the sixties.

The contents, which make crisp, energeticreading throughout, will not strike anyonewith great novelty. There are a few nodsto current modes: some concrete poems,a found poem and the like. But generallythey show a wide spectrum of response tothe whole range of man's experience. Thepoems can perhaps be best defined by whatthey are not. They are not literary, pedanticor esoterically solipsistic. Every poet here isin touch with some person or part of theworld outside him.

There is a firm structure under thesepoems, and this cannot always be said ofpoetry that in general owes strong allegianceto William Carlos Williams and his follow-ers. One woman, Barbara L. Greenberg,even has nice words to say for the sestina.It is not at all odd that she, along withSusan Axelrod, Luke (Joseph Brown, S.J.)are among those who may prove GeofHewitt right. Thomas Lask

It has always seemed to us that anyuniversity that has among its alumniHarry Edwards, AM '66, leader of theblack power protest at the 1968 Olym-pics, and Harry Wade '26, nationalleader in the effort to keep Sigma Chifraternity pure, cannot be stamping itsstudents into any one mold (unless it bethat of political leader).

Can students run it?

EDITOR: I suggest that the administrationand the Faculty both of whom seem to haveabdicated their responsibilities, cease theiropportunistic and cowardly stance and re-iterate that the undergraduates (and graduatestudents) are merely one four- (or five-,six-, or seven) year generation in a con-tinuum of students which has thus far beenflowing for over a century and hopefullywill continue for many more; that they haveno more right to dictate to the universitythan the class of 1900, of 1933, 1966 or1999.

They should reiterate that a university isnot a "now" place or an "in" place butthat it is a place for all seasons; that it dis-penses the wherewithal which makes thosefortunate enough to study there, able todiscern that which we hope will be an ap-proximation of "truth"—again for all sea-sons—and as importantly, for all peoples.There should be no "black studies," norshould there be any "white studies," juststudies.

They should make it clear that those stu-dents (yes, and those faculty members) whothink they can run a university better thanCornell has been run should found theirown institution, one in which they canchange their rules daily, their coursesweekly and their logic yearly. They havenothing to fear for they'll surely attract the"now" crowd. By my standards Cornell'sadvance in 100 years is little short of phe-nomenal.

I presume that President Corson andcompany are committed to a Senate. Let'shope that he has the good sense to let themadvise Meteorology on new weather forIthaca, or Ornithology on teaching newsongs to bluebirds. I do not doubt the in-telligence or the good intentions of the


ButwhatcanI do?

You can help! You can help send a trained ecologist toWashington. The Cornell community has arranged to placean expert in ecology and the environment right where itcounts most—in the halls of Congress.Where will he work? Acting on behalf of the Citizens ForEcological Action (CEA) at Cornell and the American Politi-cal Science Association (APSA), a nonprofit, nonpartisan ed-ucational organization, the ecologist will serve on the staffof the Senate Subcommittee on Air and Water Pollution,chaired by Senator Edmund Muskie LL.B. '39 (D-Maine).Who is the ecologist? A member of Phi Beta Kappa andSigma Xi, Walter Westman is a graduate of Swarthmore Col-lege with high honors. He is currently a candidate for thePh.D. in community and ecosystem ecology from Cornell.What will he do? His duties will include (1) preparing ques-tions for hearings and providing background informationneeded to draft legislation on issues on environmental qual-ity; (2) initiating investigations into matters of ecologicalconcern which had not hitherto received the attention ofCongress, and (3) publicizing problems studied by the Sub-committee.Here is what one expert who has worked with Walter West-man has to say about him:

"Mr. Westman shares with many of his generation a deepconcern for the moral and social issues of our day. But thisconcern is united with a social, ecological, and historicalperspective commonly found only in older generations. Theseattributes, combined with unusual energy and creativity,make him an exceptionally strong candidate for the aboveposition."—Joseph F. Hodgson, soil scientist, United StatesDepartment of Agriculture.

How can I help? $11,000 is needed for the fellowship Usupport Walter Westman in Washington for one year. Woare asking the students to raise one half; will you matchthem with the other half?Is my gift tax deductible? Yes, all gifts to the APSA-CEAFund are tax deductible and will be used to provide supporting funds for the ecologist supplied to Congress by thfCitizens for Ecological Action at Cornell.Tear off the attached coupon and mail it today togetherwith your check.

Meanwhile I hope fellow alumni will letthe university know how they stand. (Not,I reiterate not, by witholding contributions!)Perhaps I am moronic and schizophrenic. Ifthat is true naturally I shall be the last toknow!

Pro and con CACBE

EDITOR: In issue of February there appearsan advertisement entitled "Is Alumni GivingSelf-Defeating?" sponsored by the CornellAlumni Committee for Balanced Educationtogether with a rebuttal, or clarification, byPresident Corson. . . . I hope that bothsides will allow reason, and not emotion,to prevail in reaching a conclusion.

Since graduation in 1914 I have spentover a quarter of a century, until 1951, inseveral Latin American countries and hadbecome, over the years, increasingly dis-turbed at how successful radical cells, mani-

pulated from Moscow, had been in indoc-trinating students in collectivist philosophyand in "anti-yanqui" attitudes! . . .

However from victimizing Latin Ameri-cans in the early decades of this century,US industry below the Rio Grande has beenfast becoming victims since WW2 and whilethis is not particularly relevant to the dis-cussion at hand, we are, I feel, much toblame. Communist cells have been active inLatin America for nearly half a century inattacking US industrial activities but neitherour government nor our industrial manage-ment appear to have made much effort tocounteract the malicious misinformationbeing circulated throughout these countries.

On returning home in 1951 I discoveredthat Communist cells had become quite ac-tive in US institutions, especially sinceWW2, but, . . . I was not too concerned.Once acclimated to the home environment,however, I began to suspect that I had beensomewhat naive.

On retirement in 1957 I spent two termsand a summer session in western universi-ties to both refresh on subjects that I wouldneed for a consulting practice as well^as tosense what the faculties were disseminatingamongst the students. I emerged from thisexperience with a high respect for the facul-ties and students in the professional coursesbut with a big question mark for the rest.

I have become firmly convinced that thetons of seditious literature which Moscowhas been directing at our university students,apparently with our blessing, has created inthe past decade a large faction of liberal in-structors who indoctrinate their students in

political subjects. A few years ago I hadsome contacts in the Young Americans forFreedom and many of them told me thatwhile they didn't believe what they werebeing taught on political subjects they hadto answer as their instructors ordered orfail in the subject!

You will infer from the above, and cor-rectly so, that I definitely support theCACBE's stand on this question. I fail tounderstand ex-President Perkins's assertionthat "a special organization to teach a par-ticular philosophy within a faculty just willnever work." Unless the pros and cons ofprivate enterprise are given the same em-phasis as the collfectivist philosophy in ourliberal arts colleges we can anticipate anaccelerated trend towards socialism. . . .TUCSON, ARIZ. THORP D. SAWYER '14

EDITOR: Bravo for President Corson's in-formative and mature reply to Mr. Tuller'sCommittee for Balanced Education. I ampleased to see that Cornell is still in re-sponsible hands.

The committee is a sorry spokesman forAmerican business. Its economic logic isfaulty, and it will never "sell." Even thoughfree-enterprise business helped to create theuniversity system of today, this doesn'tmean that dogmatic continuation of things"as is" will guarantee happy survival. Therule in business is still survival of the fittest—he who adapts to changing conditionsbest, survives longest and most profitably.

The university is indeed trying to do this,as is the nation, when it tries to respond tothe changing marketplace for ideas, andwhen it thinks of the needs and wants ofits future "customers"— our citizens. It issad that a business-minded person like Mr.Tuller cannot see this.

The saddest thing about Mr. Tuller's com-mittee is that its attitude and tactics mockand defeat its own aims. It wins not con-verts, but rather the silent applause of theradical left who need such people as targetsto convince uncommitted young people thatthe establishment really is reactionary, stub-born, vindictive and unreasoning.

As for us "grown-ups," those who agreewith Mr. Tuller don't need to hear hiswords. Those who strongly oppose willhardly be convinced. And those in themiddle—his real audience—are mostlythoughtful, decent people who are as re-pelled by his disrespectful, unscholarlyhowls as they are by looting blacks and in-solent whites.NEW YORK CITY ALLAN L.

Footnotes• Morris Bishop '14, on page 556 of hisHistory of Cornell, tried to retell a storyof mine and bungled it. Here is thepassage: "The Treasurer, George F.('Count') Rogalsky took vigorous part inthe search for housing, telephoning num-berless bureaus and agencies in Washing-ton. There is a story that eventually hewas told by a bureaucrat to consult the

ultimate authority on the matter, a fellowin Ithaca named Rogalsky."

The story originally appeared in apamphlet I wrote for Dean Hollisterwhen I was his assistant in his additionaloffice, vice president for development. Icame back from the Navy in the summerof 1946 to find the campus in a turmoil.A University Housing Committee, ap-pointed only in February of that year,was trying desperately to provide ac-commodations for 2,300 more studentsand 200 faculty members to meet whatwas known as the Veterans' Bulge. Mr.Rogalsky '07 was a member of that com-mittee, under the chairmanship of Pro-vost Arthur S. Adams.

In my pamphlet, "Cornell Is Ready,"published in the fall of 1946, I recountedan incident that had happened in theprevious spring while I was still on activeduty in the Navy in Washington. Hereis the pertinent paragraph:

"Either State or Federal agencies, orboth, were inevitably involved. . . . Theentire eastern seaboard was being scoutedfor temporary housing that might bemoved to Ithaca with the assistance ofthe Federal Public Housing Authority.

"On one occasion, Mr. Rogalsky heardthat the Navy was about to declare somequonset huts surplus in Rhode Island.He immediately telephoned an officer inthe Bureau of Naval Personnel to findout how those huts could be obtained.

"The officer traced the elusive infor-mation through the Bureau of Yards andDocks, the Executive Office of the Secre-tary, the US Office of Education, theWar Assets Administration, and the Sur-plus Property Administration, where hewas finally referred to the FPHA.

"There a harrassed clerk advised, 'CallGeorge Frank at Cornell. He knowsmore about the regulations than anyonein Washington.' "

It was George Frank Ί l , head of theuniversity's Purchasing Department, notCount Rogalsky, who was cited as theultimate authority. And rightly so, be-cause he was chairman of a group work-ing on the problem for the AmericanCouncil on Education. I should know. Iwas the officer in the Bureau of NavalPersonnel whom Mr. Rogalsky called.

E. B. White at 7O by ISRAEL SHENKER

'Old age is a special problem because I've never been able to shed the mental image I have of myself—u lad of about 79/

This article is reprinted with permission of the New YorkTimes, Copyright 1969, The New York Times Company.

• Writing is an affair of yearning for great voyages andhauling on frayed ropes. Every blank page conceals perilsfor the unwary, but E. B. White ['21] is the kind of sailor—deft, controlled, ready to deal with storms and calms—whosecraft graces the waters.

In a trade frequently built on large egos and small prin-ciples, Mr. White stands modest and upright. He is solicitousabout colleagues, concerned about friends, and worried aboutthe whole world. When he hears others proclaim a duty to becourageous or good-natured or happy, he suggests quietly:"Everybody should be lucky."

For many years he wrote "Notes and Comment"—theopening pages of The New Yorker—celebrating things ingeneral. In collections of essays (One Man's Meat, The Sec-ond Tree From the Corner), in poetry {The Lady Is Cold),in children's books (Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web), andin a writing manual (The Elements of Style), whose coauthorwas William Strunk Jr. his mastery of form and perspectivegave pause ot those who sailed in his wake.

With his wife, Katharine, and a barn full of sheep and acoop full of chickens and a dog named Jones, he now liveshere [in North Brooklin, Maine,] the year round, fighting themiseries of age and savoring timeless pleasures.

"The Bible has me dead (70 years old) on July 11,[1969]," he noted, "and I believe everything I read in print."

He does most of his writing at the water's edge in an oldboathouse, sitting in Spartan solitude on a wooden bench.Writing has never come easy, and it took him years to realizethat spikes were sticking into his back. Mr. White has nowbuilt himself a broader bench and screened in the boathouseand chased off the foxes that burrowed into the ground below.

But he is not doing much writing now. "All I have to dois one English sentence and I fly into a thousand pieces," hesaid in a recent interview.

Even writing a simple letter is almost more than he canbear these days.

"I wish instead I were doing what my dog is doing at thismoment, rolling in something ripe he has found on the beachin order to take on its smell," he said. "His is such an easy,simple way to increase one's stature and enlarge one's per-sonality."

"A pianist achieves a certain tone through the use of hishand, his mind, and his heart," Mr. White continued. "I pre-sume a writer arrives at it in much the same way. I havealways tried to say the words and transmit the emotion, if

any, and without too much horsing around."It has never struck me as harmful to make a conscious

effort to elevate one's thoughts, in the hope that by doing soone's writing will get off the ground, even if only for a fewseconds (like Orville Wright) and to a low altitude. I am anegoist, inclined to inject myself into almost everything Iwrite. This usually calls for good taste, if one is to stay alive.I'm not against good taste in writing, however unpopular itmay be today.

"I was a flop as a daily reporter. Every piece had to be amasterpiece—and before you knew it, Tuesday was Wednes-day.

"My deadline now is death. Thurber once said it's remark-able how many people are up and around."

"How should one adjust to age?" Mr. White asked, andreplied: "In principle, one shouldn't adjust. In fact, onedoes. (Or I do.) When my head starts knocking because ofmy attempt to write, I quit writing instead of carrying onas I used to do when I was young.

"These are adjustments. But I gaze into the faces of oursenior citizens in our Southern cities, and they wear a sadlook that disturbs me, I am sorry for all those who haveagreed to grow old. I haven't agreed yet. Old age is a specialproblem for me because I've never been able to shed themental image I have of myself—a lad of about 19.

"A writer certainly has a special problem with aging. Thegenerative process is slowed down, yet the pain and frustra-tion of not writing is as acute as ever. I feel frustrated andin pain a good deal of the time now; but I try to bear in mindthe advice of Hubert Humphrey's father. 'Never get sick,Hubert; there isn't time.'"

Parents should adjust to their children, said Mr. White, bystaying young. "And by talking to a youngster as though therewere no age gap. The gap is real enough—it is as old as thehuman race. It is natural that there be a gap, and not a badthing, either.

"I lived in an age when parents weren't scared of theirchildren; they commanded respect, enforced discipline, andmaintained an orderly household. It can still be done, but themotor car and the TV have clearly added to the burden of thetask of discipline and of communication."

"I'm very sympathetic to what young people say," headded. "One day they're defending the flag and the nextday they're tearing the ivy off the walls."

He has no simple solution for student dissent or non-con-formity.

"I've never been an administrator," he noted, "never beena member of a faculty, never been under fire. It's not easy tokeep the true dissenters (those who want to improve some-

thing) separate from the phony dissenters (those who wantto destroy the whole business). The two intermingle in theheat of campus controversy.

"Universities have become very big, and with bignesscomes remoteness, inaccessibility. This is bad, and it causestrouble. When I was an undergraduate, there were a fewprofessors who went out of their way to befriend students.At the house of one of these men I felt more at home than Idid in my own home with my own father and mother. I feltexcited, instructed, accepted, influential, and in a healthycondition.

"Apparently, most students today don't enjoy any suchexperience, and they are ready to dismantle the establishmentbefore they have either defined it or tasted it. In a democracy,dissent is as essential as the air we breathe. It's only whenstudents form an elite society, immune from ordinary re-straints, that I worry about dissent."

He was asked what counsel he would give to those whodissent against the draft.

"I seldom peddle advice to the young," he replied, "Mostof them seem better informed than I am, and they have theirown special problems.

"I'll say this, though: Every country is entitled to a fewmistakes. The Vietnam war is a mistake. The Selective Serv-ice is inequitable. Yet even a country that is in the midst ofa mistake must have an armed force loyal to its basic beliefsand prepared to defend its general principles. If that were togo, all would go."

His formula for Vietnam: "I think we should withdrawour troops."

Mr. White's prescription for the New York battlefield—about which he wrote Here Is New York (1948)—is notwithdrawal, but moratorium.

"Someone could suggest that since Manhattan is a smallisland, unexpandable, it poses a limit to building and to popu-lation," he said.

"Nobody ever suggests this—it would be heresy to suggestit. Yet most of the ills of New York are attributable to a toogreat concentration in too small a space. Every time youlook up, somebody has erected another tall office buildingor another tall apartment building.

"Homes are disappearing. Traffic grinds to a halt. NewYork is an inspiring city, a fantastic city, but I think it iscrowding its luck. Structural steel can be its undoing. With-out homes, a city loses its quality. It is no longer a city, it isjust a happening."

In Here Is New York, Mr. White wrote of an "inviolatetruce" between the races. He recalls that this was a pre-CivilRights Act truce, noting:

"The truce has been violated of late, obviously, and forgood reasons, since it was a truce based on an essential in-justice, crying for correction. New York, however, still seemsto have the knack of rolling with the punches to a greaterdegree than most large cities, probably because the punchescome with greater frequency and from more directions."

What bothers him about the world at large is "its seduc-tiveness and its challenge."

"If the world were merely seductive," he noted, "thatwould be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would beno problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desireto improve (or save) the world and a desire to enjoy (orsavor) the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."

In the days to come he hopes to get at his journals. "Someof them are tremendously pretentious in the way they'rewritten," he said, "tremendously callow, the kind of thingsthat go with youth. But I was observing myself very sharplyand very shrewdly.

"I was never a reader. I was arriving at conclusions almostindependently of ΐhe entire history of the world. If I sat downto read everything that had been written—I'm a slow reader— I would never have written anything. My joy and my im-pulse was to get something down on paper myself.

"Right now the note says that the journal has got to beburned as soon as I die. But if I could work on it myself, Imight be able to salvage portions that cry for salvage."

What disturbs him now about himself? "I am botheredchiefly by my little fears that are the same as they were al-most 70 years ago. I was born scared and am still scared.This has sometimes tested my courage almost beyond en-durance."

"I have no heroes, no saints," he said. "I do have a tre-mendous respect for anyone who does something extremelywell, no matter what. I would rather watch a really giftedplumber than listen to a bad poet. I'd rather watch someonebuild a good boat than attend the launching of a poorly con-structed play. My admirations are wide-ranging and are notconfined to arts and letters."

These are the kind of people who give him the willies:"Subtly corrupt people. Vaguely fraudulent people. Talkativepeople who have nothing to say. Power-hungry people. Cre-ative people with their ear to the ground. People whosenames begin with W."

Asked what he cherished most in life, Mr. White replied:"When my wife's Aunt Caroline was in her nineties, she livedwith us, and she once remarked: 'Remembrance is sufficientof the beauty we have seen.' I cherish the remembrance ofthe beauty I have seen. I cherish the grave, compulsiveword."


A new attitude on drugsCornell Daily Sun writer—a sometime radical activist—reflects the shift in this Sun column, by ALLAN J. MAYER '71

• "They see you moving about and they come up acting realhip and ask, 'You straight?' And I say Ύeah' and then geton to dealing. They're big on pills and marijuana, but they'llbuy heroin just to show you they're hip."

There are now 25,000 drug addicts in New York Cityunder the age of 19. They are shivering in Harlem alley-waysand they are wiping their runny noses on Mom's decorator-design Scott towels in Forest Hills. Some of them have beenshooting up since they were in the sixth grade. Two hundredtwenty-four of them died last year, most from over-dosing,a few from shooting roach powder into their veins. Twentyof them were under fifteen, one of them, a cute but shy kidnamed Walter Vandermeer, was 12. By this summer, saysDr. Julianne Densen-Gerber, the director of Odyssey House,there will be more than 100,000 young addicts dying theirslow and miserable death in New York City.

We have been talking quite nonchalantly about drugs (ordope, or stuff, or whatever it is they're calling it these days)for a number of years now. We make jokes about it on tele-vision, we make films about it in Hollywood, and we marvelat its apparent wide-spread acceptance. But for those wagswho turned the old political promise inside out and had itcome out reading "Pot in every chicken," the chicken isonce again coming to roost. As a teacher at Charles EvansHughes High School (known in New York as "The Market")bitterly observed, "now that heroin is getting out of theghettos, everybody is beginning to see it as a problem."

Smoking grass may not lead directly to shooting smack,as many argue, and you could probably name dozens ofpeople you know who turn on but who wouldn't go near"hard stuff." Yet, sadly, the argument doesn't ring true whenyou go home to Queens, as I did a summer or two ago, andsee the 13-year-olds giving out Seconals and Amyl Nitratecapsules like they were candy, and the 14-year-olds shootingup in the handball courts at Russel Sage Junior High Schoolat 4 in the afternoon. Sage is not a ghetto school and thekids weren't poor. And that was all a year ago.

Young kids are always imitative of their older brothersand sisters. What the college kids are doing they want to do—and then some. When I was a freshman two years ago,high school kids who turned on were still somewhat of anovelty. But the social anthropologists tell us that the differ-ence between generations these days is less than three years,and it seems to be true. Anyone going back to visit the oldplayground now to see what the neighborhood kids are intowho doesn't feel out of it is only fooling himself.

Rego Park, a neighborhood in Queens right next to theone where I grew up, is now known as "Sales City." I re-member, when I was 15 or so and shooting pool at a "billiardemporium" called the Cue Club, that there was some dealinggoing on there. It was mostly grass and when I was 16 a bigstink was made of it when they installed two-way mirrorsin the bathrooms to discourage dealers. All it accomplished

was that the dealers moved upstairs to Queens Boulevard.Now you can go down the block and buy anything you wantand the frightening thing for me is that most of the pushersare guys I used to play ball with in junior high. What's morefrightening is the desperate look on everybody's face. No onesmiles there, except when they're nodding. When I went backafter my freshman year most of the dealing was in pills andacid, but now, after two years, heroin has moved in—andmoved in solidly.

Petty thefts are up in Forest Hills and Rego Park, thesign that there are junkies frequenting the area—but youdon't have to consult the police blotter to know that a lotof kids are on smack. Everybody laughed when a pharmacistopened a store called Drug City. "Hell," one 15-year-oldsaid, "I guess the pushers are moving inside again."

It's not really funny, not when the so-called "good kids"who are messing up their lives with junk are kids that youknow, kids you've gone to school with, kids whom you seewhen you come home on vacation and who say to you,glassy-eyed and shivering, "Hey man, what's happening?" It'snot funny because the things you're into are a million milesaway from anything they're interested in; and it's not funnywhen you ask them the question back and they give you avague smile and say, "Nothin' much. I got burned last weekbut there's some good stuff around now."

Whose fault is it, you ask? Well, to begin with that's thewrong question but if you want an answer it's that it's ourfault, it's the fault of a society in which pill taking is a wayof life (". . . for headache take aspirin, for tension take. . . " ) , it's the fault of the self-proclaimed Messiahs whoare so busy pushing the good side of their product that theyforget about the bad side. Mostly, though, it's our fault be-cause we are the people who made grass hip, who admiredthe guy who tripped, who made it fashionable to say, "Yeahman, I've tried smack. It's okay."

The people who've dealt with the problem all their livesknow it's no joke. The Black Panthers of Corona, a poorersection in Queens, weren't fooling around when they passedout a leafllet listing the names of the neighborhood pushers—the leaflet was headed, "Pushers Wanted for Murder."

But, as frightening as the street evidence is, what's morefrightening is that nobody is quite sure what to do about it.Methadone treatments, allowing physicians to prescribe nar-cotics for patient-addicts, these are not solutions—they aremerely stop-gaps. The solution, ultimately, will have to rundeeper, it will have to do something about our attitudes, oursmugness, our concern with what's hip.

Perhaps no one has the right to take away our personalpleasures, perhaps the cop who busts you for possession isalso depriving you of an inalienable right—but, then, did12-year-old Walter Vandermeer have the right to die, alone,of an overdose of heroin in a Harlem bathroom?

• The housing situation for students at Cornell has alwaysbeen a topic for conversation. In recent years, more studentshave left the dormitories, fraternities and Collegetown apart-ments in search of a different way of living.

Frequently, the new residences are located far out into therural areas surrounding Ithaca. Reconverted barns, log cabinsand yurts all have been chosen by some Cornellians as alterna-tives to conventional housing. Their desire to go off the usualpath often stems from philosophical and social reasons ratherthan economic ones. In most cases, it would be cheaper for astudent to live in the usual housing available than striking offinto the wilderness. The result is that most of the people whohave gone off into the hinterlands have been of fairly affluentbackgrounds.

One of the most popular types of new housing is the yurts,which are circular huts of Mongolian origin. The yurt wasused by the nomadic Mongolian tribesman in the same waythe American Indians used tepees—it was constructed of skinsplaced around a superstructure that could be assembled ortorn down quickly.

Charles (Chuck) Cox '66 built the first yurt in Ithaca in1966, which is considered by many yurt fans to be a primeexample of the type. His yurt, which is located in the rear ofa Sapsucker Woods house, has the standard crossed sticks fora framework. Instead of the usual plastic or wood covering,however, Cox put on cedar shingles, which made his yurtone of the more expensive models. Inside, the yurt is quitewarm during frigid winter days because he had lined the wallsand ceiling on the inside with asbestos insulation. In addition,a wood-burning stove provides heat. Cox lived there for four

years, and his yurt is now inhabited by the son of his landlord.Cox is not the only person in Ithaca interested in yurts.

Bill Brothers '65, a library employe, has been dubbed "TheYurt King" by some reporters due to his extensive knowledgeand interest in the subject. Brothers has purchased a largeparcel of land in West Danby next to a functioning commune.

Brothers hopes to found there "an ecologically sound com-munity." He is unsure whether he would give the land awayor rent it, depending upon the status of the people who hopeto live there. Brothers says he would donate the land to agroup that wanted to start a community there and would rentit "at a nominal price" to any student who wanted to livethere independent of the community.

Brothers's ideas for the development of his land indicate hisconcern for starting a way of living rather than saving money.He would like to see the students live in yurts that would en-circle and connect to a large central yurt, where all serviceswould be located.

Fresh water from a nearby stream and electricity generatedby windmill are two more of Brothers's suggestions. He saidhe did not know how long it would take to commence such aproject, but that he was determined to build it in accordancewith his convictions.

Contiguous to Brothers's holdings is a commune that ispopulated by several Cornellians and non-students. They arequartered in yurts and use a log cabin as a combination livingroom, kitchen, and guest room. They did not build the logcabin; it was already on the site when they arrived. Puristscriticize the construction of their yurts, but they live therein the present, unusually bad Ithaca winter.

All architects yearn to build something of their own, saysSteven Mensch, an architectural graduate student. Mensch hasput that desire into reality and has remodeled an old barn inEtna into an exceedingly beautiful and comfortable dwelling.In his case professional training and appreciation of goodarchitecture were more important than money in choosing adwelling. Mensch drew up all the plans for the renovationsand did most of the construction by himself.

What had been the hayloft is now an enormous living roomwith a high ceiling and exposed beams. Mensch put in a shin-ing oak floor and a large set of picture windows that overlooka nearby bird sanctuary. The bedrooms, which are on theground floor, are fairly roomy.

Mensch is careful to point out the pitfalls to potential reno-vators. He strongly urges that any non-architect engages anarchitectural student before starting his project. In that way,he said, small additional expense can result in a substantiallybetter finished product. He also cautions against old farmhouses as opposed to barns. The open spaces of a barn presentfar more opportunities than the existing structure of farmhouses, Mensch says.

There is no guarantee that the philosophical and socialemphasis of the country dwellers will continue. Rents in manyuniversity dormitories have risen by more than 50 per cent inthe past two years and will rise again in the fall. The rise inrents, along with proposed sophomore residence requirements,could cause more people to flee "to the sticks" for financialreasons as well.

Restructuring ...student view

by WILLIAM BROYDRICK '70 and GARY A. RICHWALD '70

• The writers are members of the Executive Committee ofthe Constituent Assembly and of its interim elections commit-tee. Broydrick is a government major in Arts, and Richwaldin the Engineering college program.

• The university, not without a great deal of trepidation andself-doubt, is about to launch a University Senate made upprincipally of students and faculty as well as administratorsand employes to govern most of the non-academic aspectsof Cornell. Unfortunately, today there are too many peoplein the university who, without close examination, rejectany proposal for reform of the institution and others whoare equally willing to embrace any change at Cornell forthe sake of change itself. It seems then quite important todelineate carefully some of the reasons for the adoption ofthe University Senate as a reformation of the university'spower structure.

No discussion of the University Senate is completewithout recalling the tragic and traumatic events that broughtthe Constituent Assembly into existence last spring with acharge from the University Faculty and the Barton HallCommunity to, "restructure the university." With a residueof tension and distrust from last April, the work of theAssembly quickly lead to the concept of a permanentcommunity-oriented institution to control certain aspectsof life at Cornell.

But why is such an institution so necessary? The answerlies in the nature of a student's life at Cornell. Students at auniversity this size of Cornell find the institution distant,impersonal, and even hostile. The typical freshman findshimself occupying housing that is crowded, sterile and livesa life devoid of any sense of community or belonging.Through his obligation to a meal plan he eats in a cafeteriathat he patronizes not by choice but because of economicnecessity. His medical service is not a trusted family doctorfreely chosen and usually old friend but a rather cold, busyprofessional who looks upon his patients as a commodityand not as human beings. The university doctor feels anobligation not to his patient but to his boss—theadministration—while the family doctor usually feelsresponsible solely to his patient.

The Cornell student's courses are large, and his academiccontact is with teaching assistants who are more interestedin their own graduate education than in teaching freshmanintroductory courses. These are problems that leave anindelible mark on the student's psyche throughout hisCornell experience. He may never see the university as morethan a hostile monster in which he is engaged in a life anddeath struggle. Simply stated, the Cornell student is alienatedand feels he has no control over his life.

With this concept of student life in mind it is important toremember that the trustees and administrators of thisuniversity, besides maintaining the university solvency, areresponsible for the creation and educational environmentconducive to learning and personal development. The

University Senate plan, which is a product of a number ofcompromises and negotiations by faculty, students,administration, and trustees, seems to be a reasonable way tobring the student into the decision-making process of theuniversity and allow him to regain control over his own lifeand environment. This is not to make the Senate sound like apanacea for all our social and environmental problems; ratherit is to say that the people who live and work in thecommunity—students, faculty, and staff—will truly have theopportunity (through a Senate) to exercise some controland power over those services of the university which theyencounter on a day-by-day basis. Furthermore, students willhave a specific institutional body through which they canmake recommendations to the faculty, administration, andtrustees concerning academic matters that affect theireducation.

It would be unfair to argue that faculty, administration,and trustees are disinterested in student input. In fact, theywould probably be able to make more rational andacceptable decisions regarding university academic policywith a Senate advising them.

Finally, the community will gain complete control andresponsibility for a number of services that have tendedto look upon the university administration and not theconsumer (i.e. the community) as their constituency.Housing and Dining, the medical services, students unions,the athletic department, the Campus Store, the traffic andparking board, and others will be placed under thejurisdiction of the people they serve—the community.

Another institution which has been responsive tocommunity aspirations—particularly student desires—CornellUnited Religious Work—will probably be saved from anadministration that seems determined to disengage financially(which is tantamount to destruction).

The Senate proposal includes provision for eight newmembers of the Board of Trustees—four student and fouroutsiders—all to be elected by the community groups. Thetrustees by the nature of their work and position often timesfind it difficult to effectively understand and relate to theproblems encountered daily by the ordinary Cornellian. Theaddition of eight members to the board whose soleconstituency is the community will undoubtedly lead thetrustees to policies which further improve the educationalenvironment of the university and give students a feeling ofbelonging to a community where he has some sense ofcontrol and affectivity for the "system."

Naturally the Senate presents many problems to theadministration and Board of Trustees. Much administrativereorganization must occur, the trustees must re-write a greatdeal of their legislation which currently delegates power tothe President and the Faculty and replace it with a delegationto the University Senate. There are also certain questions oflegality which must be ironed out, not the least of which isthe question of 18-year-old members of the Board ofTrustees.


editor's view

by JOHN MARCHΛM '50

None of the students who have worked on this proposalfor a University Senate have lost sight of the fact that theprimary purpose of the university is education. What wehave discovered in our work on the Senate proposal is thatour education has been crippled by a sense of impotence anddisorientation produced by our environment. Change in thatenvironment, control over those institutions with which wemust live, and a feeling of being part of a community, willall go a long way to improve for the '70s Cornell as a placeto learn, live, and grow.

This commentary by the editor is written before the trusteemeeting March 17 at which the board is expected to respondto the various campus votes on restructuring.

Π Universities desperately need students and facilities totake greater responsibility for the institutions where theystudy and teach. Whatever the reasons, the administrationsand trustees of US colleges have been left to stand aloneon their campuses to cope with the rising violenceof student upheavals.

The pattern has been consistent, no matter what theapparent issue at stake in any given confrontation.A fairly small band of militant students strikes the firstblow while the bulk of the campus community stands by.One seldom reads a restraining word in the studentpress or hears it from faculty. The administration respondsboth to the act of protest and to the issues.If it falters in any way on either, support for the originalsmall band grows rapidly among student and faculty,and the administration is forced to fall back.

This state of affairs cannot last much longer. Force isalready being applied from outside by trustees andcivil authorities to stem the senseless rioting again sweepingcampuses and college communities. Students andfaculty vastly outnumber administrators and other non-academic employes. The hope for stability and thesurvival of US higher education rests in somehow givingstudents and faculty a greater stake in governing theirschools, while still keeping the schools in useful business.

The proposed Senate at Cornell is like a number of othersadopted recently at other schools, granting representationin a new body to students and faculty. Non-academic em-ployes, although outnumbering faculty by three or fourtimes, are given token representation. Alumni and trus-tees get even less.

In the struggle for apparent power that the Senaterepresents, faculty won out easily. They are outnumberedten or twelve to one on campus, but have equality inthe Senate. And the Senate will have nothing to do withthe Faculty's normal province, education.

What the Senate will deal with is, in theory, some ofthe present prerogatives of the administration—housing,dining, parking, traffic, medical service, student unions, theCampus Store—as well as campus discipline, an area the

University Faculty has had in theory but in practice neverreally took on in a serious way. It always knew how toset limits on its power in student discipline, but ended upturning over much of the dirty work to the administration.

The administration has stood by while the ConstituentAssembly struggled with the devising of a set of bylaws forthe Senate. In the process the campus did get a graphicpicture of the difficulty of defining and transferring power.The final Senate document was a political compromiseso inexact in language and form that President Corsontold the Faculty not to pay too much attention to its wordswhen it came time to vote on accepting it.

Corson's suggestion, which the Faculty took, tellssomething of the reality and unreality of the politics of acampus. The President reminded the Faculty that, after all,the Board of Trustees has ultimate power and can becounted on not to give away to a Senate any unreasonableauthority.

That's where the University Senate idea stood as lastmonth began. The Assembly approved the Senate docu-ment, roughly 10-1, and a meeting of the University Fac-ulty approved it, 6-1. A mail referendum was then had thatwent to all students, non-professorial employes, and sur-prisingly to professors. The latter got a second chance tovote. Slightly more than 40 per cent of this constituencyreturned ballots, and approved by about a 4V -1 ratio.

The trustees were due to hold a special meeting inIthaca on March 17 to respond to the three votes ofapproval. Student leaders of the Senate movement issueda statement just before the campus referendum in whatappeared to be an effort to stir up interest. They singledout Corson's statement about ultimate trustees power forattack: "We feel [failure to ratify the proposal in itspresent form] by the trustees is tantamount to denyingthe Cornell Community its right to self-determination . . .[any changes of a substantive nature] under the guise of'clarification' or so-called legality' will be met by anyand all appropriate legal action we see fit."

Rhetorical overkill marks much of what passes forcampus politics these days, and the Senate's progress hasbeen marked by its share of such balderdash. It is atribute to the importance of the Senate idea that it hassurvived so much to date.

The trustees have a number of options, one of whichis largely to ignore the long and inexact Senate documentand seek to put into effect its main principles. Thisthey were expected to do, at least to the extent of creatinga Senate and indicating the broad outlines of its dutiesand powers. The idea of greater campus representationon the Board of Trustees will likely wait until next yearwhen the State Legislature is again in session. And theidea of the Senate overseeing a Department of Campus Life—a very complicated idea in practice—will probablytake more careful work than has been done so far, andwill also be delayed.

ON OTHER CAMPUSES

'Ecology' becomes a countrywide issue• This page introduces what will be a monthly summary ofnational news of higher education, designed by the editors ofthe Chronicle of Higher Education for alumni magazines.

Quiet spring?

In marked contrast to the wave of student unrest they ex-perienced last spring, the nation's colleges and universitieswere fairly quiet last semester. Observers wonder: Will thecalm continue in 1970 and beyond? There are signs that itmay not. Ideological disputes have splintered the radical Stu-dents for a Democratic Society, but other groups of radicalsare forming. Much of the anti-war movement has drifted offthe campuses, but student activists are turning to new issues—such as problems of the environment and blue-collar work-ers. A nationwide survey of this year's freshmen, by the way,shows them to be more inclined than their predecessors toengage in protests.

Enter, environment

Air and water pollution, the "population explosion," ecol-ogy—those are some of the things students talk about thesedays. The environment has become the focus of widespreadstudent concern. "Politicization can come out of it," says aformer staff member of the National Student Association whohelped plan a student-faculty conference on the subject."People may be getting a little tired of race and war as is-sues." Throughout the country, students have begun cam-paigns, protests, even lawsuits, to combat environmental de-cay. Milepost ahead: April 22, the date of a "teach-in" onthe environment that is scheduled to be held on many cam-puses.

Catching up

Publicly supported Negro colleges, said to enroll about athird of all Negroes in college today, are pressing for "catch-up" funds from private sources—corporations, foundations,alumni. Their presidents are telling prospective donors: "Ifyou don't invest in these colleges and make it possible forNegroes to get an education, you will be supporting them onthe welfare rolls with your taxes." Coordinating the fund-rais-ing effort is the Office for the Advancement of Public NegroColleges, Atlanta, Georgia.

Nonresident tuition

An Ohio woman married a resident of California andmoved with him to that state. When she enrolled in the stateuniversity there, it charged her $324 more per quarter than itcharged California residents. Unfair? The woman said it was,and asked the courts to declare the higher fee unconstitu-

tional. State courts dismissed her challenge and now theirjudgment has been left standing by the US Supreme Court.The decision suggests that an earlier ruling of that court,which overturned state residence requirements for relief ap-plicants, does not apply to higher education. Nearly 800,000students are thought to be enrolled in colleges outside theirhome states.

Money trouble

Many members of Congress favor more federal funds forhigher education, but President Nixon balks at the notion. Hevetoed the 1970 appropriations bill for labor, health, andeducation on grounds it was inflationary, and the lawmakersfailed to override him. Further austerity is signaled by thePresident's budget for 1971. He wants to phase out severalprograms of aid to colleges and universities, hold back onnew spending for academic research, rely more on privatefunds. In the states, meanwhile, the pace of public supportfor major state colleges and universities may be slowing, ac-cording to reports from nineteen capitals. Overall, state ap-propriations for higher education continue to grow, withmuch of the new money going to junior colleges.

Foundation tax

Exempted for decades from federal taxation, the nation'sprivate foundations must now pay the government 4 per centof their net investment income each year. Congress requiresthe payment in its Tax Reform Act of 1969, which also re-stricts a number of foundation activities. One initial effectcould be a proportionate cut in foundation grants to collegesand universities. Foundation leaders also warn that privateinstitutions generally—including those in higher education—are threatened by federal hostility. The new act, says onefoundation executive, reflects an attitude of "va§t indifference"in Washington toward the private sector.

Double jeopardy

Should a college's accreditation be called into question if itexperiences student disruption over an extended period oftime? In some cases, yes, says the agency that accredits highereducation institutions in the mid-Atlantic states. Although itwon't summarily revoke a college's accreditation because ofdisruption by "forces beyond its control," the agency doesplan to review cases in which an institution suffers "prolongedinability to conduct its academic programs."


UNIVERSITY

Earth Day has its fans on the Hill• Cornell, often in or near the vanguardof student political action in the past,will be right out front again on April 22when the nation's schools take part in anEnvironmental Teach-in. Another title is"Earth Day" and it all has to do withdramatizing the new national concernabout pollution, ecology, the environ-ment.

Biologists at the university have beenleaders in the national drive against nu-clear power plants. They won delay inconstruction of such a plant on CayugaLake.

Prof. Lamont Cole was the leadoff"witness" on a CBS TV series on popula-tion and pollution problems.

Citizens for Ecological Action [MarchNEWS] had earned a place on a US Sen-ate subcommittee for a staff person of itschoice, a Cornell graduate student.

The university lecture series "Biologyand Society" has proved so popular itfills Statler Auditorium each week, isbroadcast simultaneously in dormitoriesby WVBR, and by delayed transmissionover WHCU. The series is both open tothe public and part of a credit course.

On-campus programs April 22 will in-clude speeches, panel discussions, andworkshops dealing with population, en-vironmental, and other ecological prob-lems of world, national, and local scope.

Sale of CAL appears blocked

The university appears to have lost itseffort to sell Cornell Aeronautical Lab-oratory. A decision by a state SupremeCourt justice in Buffalo has made per-manent a temporary injunction "prohib-iting sale of CAL to EDP Technology,Inc. or any other purchaser."

EDP had agreed to pay $25 millionfor the lab. The State of New York op-posed the sale on behalf of the StateAtomic and Space Development Author-ity which had sought to buy the lab fora Buffalo group for considerably lessthan EDP's offer.

Until a final document known as ajudgment is approved, the university willnot know if there are circumstancesunder which it can dispose of the lab.The decision turned on whether the giftof the lab to the university by Curtis-

Wright Corp. in 1945 "was a 'charitabletrust' and, if so, was it a 'charitable trust'with a restricted purpose which willprevent the sale of the laboratory toEDP."

The decision is believed to have wideranging implications for universities andother charities that receive gifts whichthey later may wish to dispose of, soappeal is considered a possibility. EDP,as a party to the case, might appeal. Asin the past, there is a reluctance to con-sider prolonging litigation because ofpossible adverse effect on morale andthe continued service of the lab staff.

Big changes in dorm policy

Women will live in the Baker dorms,men in Donlon Hall and Clara Dickson6 next fall as part of a plan to diversifythe population in different parts of thecampus.

Men will occupy some suites, womenothers in the new low-rise North Campusdormitories, four more of which will beopen by then. Risley is being made avail-able for a residential college, and for thefirst time groups will have a chance tolive in contiguous rooms in universitydorms.

The university will not requiresophomores to live in university dormi-tories or fraternities next fall but maythe following year. Paying tor the newlyexpanded university residential plant mayrequire sophomores to come under thehousing restrictions previously appliedonly to freshmen.

Cornell would like to get out ofmost of its role as feeder of students.The university has been seeking bidsfrom private firms to take over campusdining operations. One deterrent to out-side interest is the recent decision not torequire students to sign up for diningcontracts. This appears to have acceler-ated the rise in food costs and prices.

On campus and off

• Some students may be able to dosocial service and action work in theIthaca area, for academic credit. This isa possibility under a new Human AffairsProgram to be established in the fall.

Prof. Benjamin Nichols '41, electricalengineering is acting director.

• The Andrew D. White house willbe saved, President Corson announced tothe campus earlier in the term. It will beavailable for academic offices and semi-nar rooms for the College of Arts &Sciences. Alumni and others expressedconcern several years ago when variousuniversity plans appeared that showedscience buildings being placed on its site.The building will be vacated some timearound the end of 1972 when its mu-seum use is transferred to a new artmuseum west of Franklin Hall.

• Donald McMaster '16, formerboard chairman of Eastman Kodak, hasbeen named a Presidential Councillor ofthe university. He is a former trustee,contributor, Cornell Fund leader, andformer director of Cornell AeronauticalLaboratory.

• A Faculty subcommittee has sug-gested for discussion, without recom-mending, a "quarter" system for theacademic system. Three ten-week quar-ters would replace the present two fif-teen week semesters for the main partof the year; summer schedules wouldnot necessarily change.

• Mr. and Mrs. W. Van Alan Clark'09 have given the university a $1.3 mil-lion endowment, the proceeds of whichare to be used for the operation of ClarkHall of Science and the Edna McCon-nell Clark Library. In referring to thegenerosity of the Clarks and the pur-pose of the gift, President Corson said,"Everyone is aware of the millions ittakes to build new buildings, but fewgive a second thought to the thousandsrequired annually to operate a complexscience building like Clark Hall." Clarkis honorary board chairman of AvonProducts, Inc., of New York City.

• Calling themselves the Cornell Med-ical Community, students and facultyof the Medical College, the GraduateSchool of Medical Science, and theNursing School passed a resolution estab-lishing an ad hoc committee to set up a

April 1970 27

University Senate for their schoools. Theaction dissociates them from "the actionsand recommendations of the CornellConstituent Assembly in reference to theproposed University Senate." The Medi-cal Community will seek some represen-tation on the Board of Trustees.

• No concrete plans have been an-nounced in New York State to put intoeffect the announced wish of GovernorRockefeller to have an "open door" ad-missions policy in public and private col-leges in the state. No funds were pro-posed to carry out such a plan. Theprimary trend in this direction at the uni-versity has been a decision to acceptmore transfer students in all colleges,from both two- and four-year colleges.

• Zeta Beta Tau and Phi Epsilon Pi

fraternities have agreed locally to mergethis term and are awaiting final approvalon the national level. The merger willgive Phi Epsilon Pi the financial help itneeds as well as bringing new membersto ZBT. Next year members of themerged housed will live in the ZBThouse and the old Phi Epsilon Pi housewill be sold.

Faculty and staff

A committee of students of the lateArthur J. Eames, professor emeritus ofbotany, who died last year, have decidedthat the most appropriate memorial forhim would be a woodland area or bog ofgeneral botanical and geological interest.Property has been located near Ithacaand preliminary negotiations begun, butmore money is needed to make the pur-

chase. Dr. Mary H. Wilde of the Dept.of Pomology is treasurer of the fund.

Felix Reichmann will retire June 30 asassistant director of libraries at Cornellafter almost twenty-five years of service.He has been instrumental in bringingabout innovations in technical services,acquisitions, and cataloging, areas inwhich his influence and reputation areworld-wide. After his retirement Reich-mann plans to be involved in a numberof publishing and research projects andas a bibliographic consultant to libraries.

Robert J. Kane '34 director of physi-cal education and athletics, is the newsecond vice president of the US OlympicCommittee, moving up from secretary.He was also a candidate for president inrecent elections of the group.

PHENOMENOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY by Er-win W. Straus. Basic Books. 1966.

Erwin Straus is a great psychiatristwho studied philosophy in order to clar-ify what is meant by terms such as real-ity, sickness, and health—terms used ofnecessity in the treatment of patients butrarely sufficiently reflected upon. He wasa student of Husserl and Heidegger longbefore using them became a fad in psy-choanalysis as well as elsewhere. Hisreflections led him to a critique of theuse of the methods of modern physicalscience in the understanding of psychicphenomena; he became convinced thatpsychologists have been forced to distortthe phenomena peculiar to their scienceby their desire to imitate the physical-chemical explanations which have beenso successful in other areas. Psychologyaccording to him cannot be reduced tobiology, either >>y way of stimulus-response doctrines or by those of psycho-analysis. He believes that our observa-tions of the world and the men in it havebecome dangerously impoverished byattempts to force all our experience intoa Procrustean bed provided by the cur-rent teachings and their limited array ofpossible causes. He undertakes to re-

examine some basic modes of humanconduct without presuppositions as totheir causes in order to recover the full-ness of the phenomena and begin froman awareness of what must be explained.He takes subjects which he shows havebeen inadequately treated, like shame,or not treated at all because they do noteasily admit of reduction, like the dance.

These essays are a most exhilaratingexperience in themselves, for they turn asensitive but scientific and rational eyeon the richness of psychic life and re-mind us of much that we no longernotice because our science cannot ac-commodate it. One recovers somethingof that naive wonder at nature which isthe source of true science and sees thatthere is an enormous task awaiting us inpreparing our vision to perceive andcatalogue the variety in the forgottensurface of things.

SALAMMBO by Gustave Flaubert.I picked up this novel rather idly one

evening recently when I did not have thespirit to pursue my appointed work. Ihad had a certain curiosity about it be-cause I love Madame Bovary and havegiven some effort to understanding thatperfect achievement; Salammbo, aboutan ancient woman, I thought, might helpto cast a light on the character of Flau-bert's modern woman. I know that Sal-ammbo is usually considered to be anartistic failure, and my reading of it insome sense agreed with that judgment.

But I found it nevertheless gripping, initself and because of what it taught meabout Flaubert's art; I sat up all nightreading it. It is a failure because it isbloated and unconvincing romanticism,an attempt to write an epic, the resultof which does not ring true. But ittherein reveals Flaubert's aspiration andexplains his ill-tempered and brilliantcharacterization of his own age. Hesensed in himself the powers of a Homer,but he lived in a world without heroes,dominated by the Homais—a world inwhich the poet had no heroes to depict.In Salammbo he seems to try to capturewith his prose the power and sense ofawe found in the Bible along with thebeauty and nobility of the Iliad. The factthat he failed only confirms the thesisso successfully propounded in his otherworks that ours is an unfortunate agefor artists. The contrasts between Mad-ame Bovary and Salammbo are strikingand revealing. Madame Bovary longs tobe a heroine and to find a hero worthyof her gifts. Salammbo does not need tocontent herself with longing; she becomesa heroine, and there are real men to loveand who love unto death in return, notmere actors playing the roles of men.And, above all, religious faith is freshand overwhelming; it is not the world oftepid believers and equally tepid un-believers, of Bournisien and Homais. Iam now saitsfied that Madame Bovary isthe tragedy of modern man and artist;and I was moved by this strange storyand even more by what it wished to be.Flaubert's great and successful workspresented what he himself knew and ex-perienced: men who failed in the at-


tempt to live noble lives or men rend-ered at once hateful and ridiculous be-cause they never even tried.

VICTORIAN MINDS by Gertrude Himmel-farb. Knopf. 1968.

This book deals with the literary menof an age which, although close to ourown in time, is very distant from ourprofessed tastes. Victorian means to usrepression and hypocrisy as opposed toour openness and sincerity, in every-thing from sex to politics. Young peoplethese days do not tend to look to Vic-torian England for inspiration, and Vic-torianism seems to be something to beovercome just as Puritanism is. MissHimmelfarb in this learned and wellwritten book tries to show that there ismuch of significance for us to learnthere. I do not always agree with herrenderings of teachings, and I feel sheoccasionally gives way to a commonweakness of intellectual historians in be-lieving that biographical detail explainsthought. But the book is informed by anintense and serious concern. We acceptalmost without question or reflection twoof the intellectual products of that age,utilitarianism and evolution; and both ofthese teachings she argues are in needof searching analysis and criticism. Nei-ther comes from sources which repre-sented, in her view, the best of VictorianEngland, either morally or intellectually.On the other hand, we are peculiarlyblind to some of the virtues of that pe-

riod, its political prudence and responsi-bility, its tasteful restraint, its learning.She tries to make us aware of our fail-ings in both of these directions. She isparticularly successful at this project inher fascinating account of Bentham'sappalling plans for prison reform; and inher discussion of J. S. Mill's strugglesagainst his father and his wife for innerfreedom from utilitarian excess, therebyaccounting for two important strands ofhis thought. I am not sufficiently versedin Bentham or Mill scholarship to judgecertainly if she is right, but her casesounds impressive. And her characteriza-tion of John Buchan, a man so contraryto anything we like or produce, is touch-ing; here she shows what a decent andreliable type of man the older educationprepared without sacrifice of depth orsubtlety. Her book is a store of goodsense about politics and intellectuals andtheir relationships.

LIBERALISM, ANCIENT AND MODERN by

Leo Strauss. Basic Books. 1968.This series of essays is meant to in-

vestigate the relationship between theolder sense of liberal—the free man asopposed to the slave—and the newersense, that applied to a citizen and sup-porter of modern liberal democracy. Pro-fessor Strauss discusses the problems ofexcellence in a democratic society andwhat liberal education can mean today;in what way ancient thinkers might prop-erly be called liberal; what the ancient

writers thought was their duty to civilsociety and the art of writing they de-veloped to fulfill it; the survival of re-ligion in a secular society and in par-ticular the advantages and disadvantagesof such a society for Judaism and Jews.The most important essay is a long studyof Lucretius' poem; the natural philos-ophy of the Epicureans was close to ourown, but their thought about the bestway of life according to nature was verydifferent. In presenting a careful textualanalysis, Professor Strauss elucidates thisdifference, thus giving us insight into ourown situation. This is an eloquent butdifficult book; it is a model of thatcare and respect for serious thinkers ofthe past which characterizes ProfessorStrauss' work. It will be most interestingto contemporary readers in its anaylsisof notions like "the self" or "commit-ment" which are so important today andwhich his scholarship and reflection canexplain and criticize.

ESSAI D'UNE HISTOIRE RAISONNEE DE LA

PHILOSOPHIE PAIENNE by Alexandre Ko-

jeve. Gallimard. 1968.The late Alexandre Kojeve was one of

the handful of truly philosophic menwho lived during the last quarter cen-tury. He single-handedly revived the se-rious consideration of Hegel and is thesource of that mixture of Hegelianism,Marxism and Existentialism which is soinfluential today—due to its populariza-tion by men like Merleau-Ponty andSartre. This book is the first of a seriesto be published posthumously, a seriesintended to constitute a history of phil-osophy, a history in the deeper sense ofthe necessary development of thought intime toward a coherent discourse. Thebook has a long introduction designed tostate the problem of a philosopher, or tooutline the requisites, όntological andepistemological, of a discourse which isto be both non-contradictory and inter-pretive of the world. Kojeve's abidingconcern is the possibility of knowledge,or to put it more clearly and simply, toprovide philosophy with an account ofits own doings. The rest of the book isdevoted to interpretations of the pre-Socratic philosophers, particularly Par-menides and Heraclitus. One may won-der whether Kojeve is absolutely wise,as he insists he is, but one can hardlydoubt that he knows the problems andcan expound them with an authority andbrilliance reserved to superior men. Any-one who wants to understand Hegel, andhence a large segment of our own intel-lectual horizon, must turn first and lastto Kojeve.

ATHLETICS by Robert J. Kane '34

The esteemed John Paul Jones 13• One of the most esteemed Cornell personalities of all timedied on January 5 in Tucson, Arizona: John Paul Jones '13.He added luster to an already established illustrious nameand in doing so he made his young university better knownin a beneficial way.

"JP" was a man of parts. He was a world's record holdingathlete, a good student, an avid social being, and a successfulconsulting engineer (his Cleveland firm of John Paul Jones,Cary & Millar did the interior engineering of Anabel TaylorHall). And most importantly he always did his job well andseemed to have an almost mystically velvet touch on thosearound him. Seldom has a man been as beloved as JP.

One who knew him intimately and who was his friend, onthe track and off, was Tell Berna '12. Shortly after JP diedTell said this of him: "The outstanding thing about John PaulJones was his modesty. You would expect a young man whowas intercollegiate cross-country champion three times, andwho made a world's record in the mile run and minutes laterset an intercollegiate record in the half mile and two yearslater lowered his own world's record in the mile run and wasan international celebrity might occasionally betray a bit ofself-esteem, but he never did. I remember him as alwayspleasant, smiling, courteous."

No more authentic chronicler could be found on the Jones'saga than Tell Berna. Tell was ICAAAA cross-country cham-pion as a sophomore, in 1910, He set the world's record inthe two mile run in 1912, 9:17.8. The vivid emergence of JPJones must have been an irritant to him at times, even thoughtheir combined talents in relays and in cross-country competi-tions made Cornell the scourge of the track world. But beingsecond can be tantalizing to one used to being first, unlessyou are big men like Tell Berna and John Paul Jones.

They teamed with Herb Putnam '12 and Leon Finch '13to set the world's indoor record four mile relay of 17:43.4 inBuffalo in 1912 and with Ed Hunger '12 replacing Finch theyset the outdoor record of 17:55 that spring at the Penn Re-lays, and they were supreme on the cross-country course.Jones succeeded Tell as ICAAAA individual cross-countrychampion and won it three years in a row, and set newrecords.

JP set the world's record of 4:15.4 in the mile run hissophomore year in the ICAAAA at Cambridge and then wonthe 880 in 1:54.8 for an intercollegiate record. His senioryear he lowered his own world's record in the mile run to4:14.4 in again winning the ICAAAA. This stood as theICAAAA record until 1938.

JP attended Phillips Exeter Academy and was an undis-tinguished member of the track squad there until his senioryear. In fact he could not make the competitive team untilthen. In his last race, however, he set the school record inthe mile run of 4:30.4.

Although Fritz Krebs '12 had worked on him to come toCornell while they were at Exeter together JP was ponderingYale too. "In my mind," he said, "there were only two goodcolleges, Yale and Cornell. I wanted to be an engineer. WhenI found out that Yale required another year of Latin I de-cided then and there to go to Cornell. I wouldn't have taken

another year of Latin to get into the Kingdom of Heaven.It was the right decision."

He was a loyal Cornellian in every sense of the word. Hewas president of his class throughout college and until hedied. His two children, Mary Lou '42 and John Paul III '54carry on the tradition.

He enrolled in the College of Mechanical Engineering inthe fall of 1909 and he had to work his way, as his fatherhad died while he was at Exeter. He took a job at Chi Phiand later he became a member, an active and contributingmember of the fraternity. From that point on he worked atStudent Agencies, taking in and delivering laundry. Betweenthese chores and taking a tough engineering course it was along hard day for this handsome 5 foot 9Vi, 142-poundyoung man. His dimensions were not awe-inspiring but therewas a gracefulness of physique and a litheness about himwhich were a delight to see and nicely befitted the picture ofthe champion he was.

He gave his coach, Jack Moakley, the credit for his suc-cess. "I would have continued to be quite ordinary, I'm sure,if I hadn't been under the greatest coach who ever lived. Infact without his inspiration and reputation I might have foundit too difficult to do all I was required to do and to run too.

Victorious by Land and by SeaBoston Transcript, May 29, 1911

Jack Moakley was the finest gentleman I ever met. I thinkhe taught me more that was of value in life than any otherperson."

Coach Moakley was a judicious man but not an effusiveone. It was the ultimate compliment that he spoke of JP asthe exemplar, as an athlete and as a person, of what a manshould be: hard-working, trustworthy, modest, and amiable,and economic with words. A tough set of conditions.

The age-old question about any former champion: howwould he do today? was put to Tell Berna the other day.Here is his answer:

"It seemed to me John Paul could have done almost any-thing any human could achieve on the track. I sincerely be-lieve that in any era he would be a champion. But he didhave one deficiency. He had a poor sense of timing. He wasthe most exasperating man to run against you can imagine.He would usually let someone else take the lead, for if hetook it he would go either too fast or too slow. So he wouldfollow and then take over near the finish and I was usuallythe victim. In our frequent time trials in training I can re-member beating him just once, at two miles.

"During a cross-country trial one day over a four milecourse I decided to teach him a lesson. I decided I would runthe first three miles as though it were a three mile race. Atabout the three mile mark at Forest Home I saw out of thecorner of my eye something white fluttering behind my leftshoulder. Sure enough it was Mr. Jones. He went by me asthough I had glue on my shoes. He'd already taken his showerand had laughed and chatted with his friends when I camestruggling in."

Tell Berna did achieve something JP did not. He won agold medal at the Olympic Games at Stockholm in 1912, asa member of the 3000 meter team. JP Jones took a disap-pointing fourth in the 1500 meter run. Observed Tell: "JPleft his race in the dining salon on the boat going over. Theterrible food left him and several others in bad shape afternine days of it on heavy seas. If the meet had been held inthe States he would have chalked up another world's record.He was never in better shape when we started out."

The fact is he did break a record in the Olympic 1500, evenin fourth place. Here is the way Richard Schaap '55 de-scribed the race in his An Illustrated History of the Olympics:

" . . . the United States was a heavy favorite to win thisdistance event. Precisely half of the fourteen finalists wereAmericans, including the defending champion, Mel Sheppard,and a trio of great milers, Abel Kiviat, Norman Taber, andJohn Paul Jones. . . Kiviat, Taber, and Jones waged a furiousstruggle as they stormed down the stretch, but in the finalthirty meters, Arnold Jackson of England uncorked a tre-mendous kick and, with his last ounce of energy, overtook thethree Americans. He collapsed at the tape. The British starwon by the narrow margin of one tenth of a second overboth Kiviat and Taber, with Jones only three tenths of asecond farther back. The first five finishers all broke theOlympic record by more than five seconds."

So it may have been his uncertainty with pace, as well ashis debilitated condition that lost him the gold medal at

• How does Cornell do it? Two boat races, two baseball gamesand an intercollegiate track meet for one day's athletic spoils.Now are the shrines of victory on the Ithacan strand heapedwith the bays of her heroes, and the name of their alma matera word of praise on the tongues of men.

On Cayuga's waters the Cornell boat left the Harvard boat twoand one-half lengths behind; the Cornell freshmen had passed thebuoys at the finish when the Harvard freshmen had nineteenmore strokes to row; the Cornell baseball team in a wrenchingfourteen-inning game won from the Yale men with a score ofsix to five, though those stubborn sons of Eli had tied the gamewith three runs at the end of the ninth inning.

At Hanover the Dartmouth freshmen were being worsted atbaseball by the Cornell freshmen, four to one; thus early does thehabit of victory set in with Ithacans, and these lads went homebearing another sheaf of glory for the general blaze.

Close at hand in the Harvard Stadium we saw Cornell's trackteam, by the more laborious and less spectacular kind of vic-tories, surpass the athletes of every other college of prominencein the East. And three new records were made by Cornell men,two of them by Mr. John Paul Jones, who, if there were anythingin names, should have captained his university boat; but he servedhis college well on land.

So Cornell, as they say in the Greek histories, was victoriousboth by land and by sea. We feebly struggle; they in glory shine.And though beaten, and beaten badly, we can still admire withoutenvy and cheer without regret. As was said in these columns onSaturday, next to the honor of beating Cornell is the honor ofbeing beaten by men who play the game so like gentlemen, menwho can generously win as handsomely take a defeat. Singularly,there is no sting in being beaten by Cornell; it is as if they hadall along deserved to win.

Whether they come bearing the lyre to sing in joint concertsof the musical clubs or in running togs to march fleetly downthe cinder paths, they come as friends, and as such they depart.Some spirit is in that New York State college which compels therespect and admiration of us all. Rarely do groups of youngmen "show up" better than groups coming from Cornell.

Why these things are so we may not pretend to know, and ifanyone possesses the explanation it will be received with pleasure;but it is both curious and inspiring to note what a high standardof youthful manhood Cornell maintains and how her men respondto any test from athletics to the summons for personal bravery.

The late James McNeil Whistler, with his eccentric generosity,was at a dinner party at which his brother artist, Lord Leighton,was being eulogized for his versatility. The speaker had discoursedwarmly of the orator, the scholar and the man, when Whistlerbroke in: "Paints some, too." And so Cornell is, after all, noneof your athlete's college. It trains men, too.

In the words of your own hymn: "Hail, all hail, Cornell!"

Stockholm, somewhat as happened to him in the ICAAAA atPhiladelphia that spring when he was surprised by a finishingsurge by Brown's Norman Taber and was tied in the mile run.

That failure at Stockholm, and it can be said to be a failurewhen a world's record holder gets fourth, was a test of hispersonal aplomb, and he came through it in handsome style,according to Tell Berna: "Jack Moakley always reminded usthat we represented Cornell, and to always act as gentlemen,no matter what the circumstances. John Paul reacted in thesame high class style when he lost at Stockholm as when hehad won. Cornell University never had a better ambassadorthan John Paul Jones."

THE TEAMS by 'The Sidelined

Down to the wire

with a winner

Coach Ned Harkness sends his clubout of the lockerroom with firm word.

• No changes in the winter sports pic-ture as the season drew to a close.

The hockey team under Ned Harknesscontinued its inspirational play, was No. 1in the East, captured a fifth straight IvyLeague crown, and was generally rankedNo. 1 in the country.

Track had some great individual per-formances and a 4-1 meet record.

Basketball, fencing, swimming, andsquash all had losing seasons.

Wrestling struggled to reach .500.The big off-season news was in foot-

ball, where Cornell got heralded two-timeAll-Connecticut quarterback Mark Allenof Seymour, Conn., to come to Cornell.Assistant Coach Paul Pawlak was therecruiter.

See page 35 for later results.

Hockey

Cornell appeared on its way to itsgreatest season in history.

The Big Red was virtually assured ofa 24-0 record for the regular season.

And it was favored to win a fourthstraight BCAC title and a second NCAAcrown in four years.

Balance was the word for Coach NedHarkness' fprces.

Every game a different star appeared.One time it was third-line wing BobAitchison with two goals against BostonUniversity. Another time it was third-linecenter Dave Westner with two goalsagainst Harvard. And so it went.

Goalie Brian Cropper was outstandingeach time out, winning the hearts of theLynah Rink faithful.

Star Dan Lodboa sets up for a slapshot. Tri-captain John Hughes, top scorer, is harassed by St. Lawrence.

-' ' .i-ί'v -


Dan Lodboa led the defensemen, buthad great help from Steve Giuliani, Gor-die Lowe, Ron Simpson, and Jim Higgs.

The forwards were paced by KevinPettit and John Hughes, but ample sup-port also came from Brian McCutcheon,Dick Bertrand, Garth Ryan, Larry Ful-Ian, Bill Duthie, Westner, and Aitchison.

Pettit had three goals in the 5-3 winover Boston College.

More than 3,000 fans were turnedaway from the doors as the usual stand-ing-room-only crowd of 4,700 attended.The gates were opened nearly two hoursbefore the face-off, and were closed nineminutes later.

The fans were in a constant uproarthroughout the action.

"They help us a lot," says Lodboa."They're the greatest fans in the world."Added Hughes: "It gives us two goalsbefore we even take the ice. Their sup-port is tremendous."

Cornell had its toughest test of theseason in its 20th game, at mediocreDartmouth, loser of 10 games in 19starts. It trailed, 2-1, midway in the thirdperiod before Ryan knocked in a reboundwith 9:48 left, and Pettit—Mr. Clutchin the big games and Mr. Ordinary in thesmall games—scored on a rebound with6:59 remaining for a 3-2 win. Cropper

had 35 saves, his busiest night, whileDartmouth's Dale Dunning stopped 45shots. The two teams were even the firsttwo periods; the Big Red skated awayfrom the Green in the final stanza.

Top scorer, before the Harvard game,was Hughes, with 14-24—38. Next wasLodboa with 15-21—36, followed byBertrand with 15-20—35, Pettit with15-19—34, Fullan with 8-23—31, Mc-Cutcheon with 16-12—28, and Ryanwith 12-12—24.

Cropper had a 1.61 goals-per-gameaverage, best in the nation.

Top teams in the West, incidentally,appeared to be Minnesota and two-timeNCAA king Denver, which edged Cornellin the finals last year, 4-3, in ColoradoSprings. This year's event is in LakePlacid, with just 1,700 seats available.

Basketball

Coach Jerry Lace had a secondstraight losing season, but there weresome bright spots.

The cagers were 7-14 with two gamesleft, at Princeton and Pennsylvania, anda 7-16 mark was expected.

The Big Red loses through graduationtop scorer and rebounder Bill Schwarz-kopf, who averaged 18.3 points and 13.5

rebounds, and sharpshooting guard PaulFrye, the No. 3 scorer with 8.8.

In addition the freshman team wasmediocre and hampered by academictroubles.

One bright spot is the return of severalvarsity performers, with experience, espe-cially 6-3 Ken Wiens, who was No. 2scorer with 11.3.

Cornell won its last two home games,85-74 over Harvard and 74-72 overDartmouth, to bring its Ivy mark to 4-8.Cornell trailed by 12 at half time againstDartmouth, but won on a last-secondbasket by Wiens. Guards Gene Williamsand Tom Sparks were outstanding bothgames as was Schwarzkopf.

The Ithacans barely missed an upsetover No. 1 Pennsylvania early in themonth, leading until the last 1:38 beforebowing to the Quakers in Barton Hall,64-60.

Wrestling

Coach Jimmy Miller's matmen showedimprovement, but three close losses willprobably keep them under .500.

The record was 6-7 with Penn State,Columbia, and Princeton remaining.

Cornell did well against powerful Pitts-burgh before losing, 19-15. It also lost

to Syracuse, 19-17, and Franklin andMarshall, 17-16.

It was 3-1 in the Ivy League aftertoppling strong Yale, 21-14.

Lone loss was to Pennsylvania, 22-12.Princeton was unbeaten in Ivy competi-tion at mid-season.

Cornell was particularly strong in themiddle weights, with 158-pound John St.John (7-0-1), 150-pound Ben Bishop(9-2), 167-pound Mike Crandall (6-2-2),and 177-pound Dave Ouellet (5-3-1).

Boizelle won both the 200 individualmedley and 500 freestyle in the 70-43loss to Navy. Tim Millhiser swept thedives. Boizelle has also won races in the100 freestyle, 1,000 freestyle, and 200breaststroke. Ken Light is another finediver.

The record was 3-7 prior to a Feb. 28meet with Dartmouth.

Fencing

The saber team remained unbeatenagainst strong Columbia, with Al Hoeferscoring 3-0, though the Lions won themeet, 16-11. The Cornell record was 4-6prior to matches with Syracuse, Harvard,and Penn. Dan Malone and Bob Nevillewere other saber pace-setters.

Squash

Highlight was the victory by Bill St.John over Dartmouth's Geoff Scott,ranked No. 5 nationally last year, in fivegames, though Dartmouth won the meet,8-1. Cornell was 1-7 prior to the season-ending match Feb. 28 with Pennsylvania.St. John also registered a victory in6-3 loss to Yale.

Track

The meet record was 4-1.Cornell won a triangular affair at

Syracuse, scoring 58 points to 28 forColgate and 19 for Syracuse. The pre-vious week it bowed at Army, 74-25.

Highlight of the Cadet meet was the8:57.6 winning effort in the two mile byJon Anderson. The mark by the Eugene,Ore., junior broke the school mark of9:04 he set earlier this year and is thefastest ever run by a Cornell undergrad-uate indoors or outdoors. Illness ham-pered quadruple threat (long jump, dash,600 run, and mile relay) Walter Jones.

Sophomore Don Alexander of KlamathFalls, Ore., did 4:11.6 in the mile, onlyseven-tenths of a second off the Cornellrecord. Jeff Leonelli, another sophomore,did 14-6^ in the pole vault, and Jonesdid 23-5 in the long jump.

AT DEADLINELate news of the university, on campus and off, taking placeafter the bulk of the current issue had been prepared:

Hey, Number 1! The hockey team became the first from amajor college in recent years to go unbeaten a full seasonwhen it won the NCAA title March 21 at Lake Placid. Itbeat Clarkson 6-4, coming from behind twice, for win No. 29.

Cornell had begun tourney play by dropping St. Lawrence6-1. In each succeeding game the Red fell behind beforewinning. It took the ECAC title by beating Harvard 6-5 andClarkson 3-2, and the NCAA from Wisconsin 2-1 andClarkson again.

Coach Ned Harkness had his second title at Cornell infour years; in between the Red was third and second.

Senate progress: The Board of Trustees approved a charterfor a University Senate at a special meeting in Ithaca March17 but ran headon into a decision of a student-facultycommittee that they hadn't gone far enough. As expected[page 25] they did not create a Division of Campus Life orapprove the details of new trustee positions for students andfaculty. The Interim Elections Committee (IEC) of theConstituent Assembly said, "The trustees have not givenunequivocal approval to the [Senate] proposal in a mannercomparable to previous ratifications . . . Accordingly [we]cannot proceed with elections at this time."

The IEC said it was "encouraged" and "we look forward tofurther action" at the trustees' April 9 meeting. RobertW. Purcell '32, trustee chairman, expressed disappointment,saying it was the trustees' unanimous opinion "that ouractions were an appropriate response" to the Senate proposal.The trustees set up machinery for creating a Campus Lifedivision and provided for nonvoting attendance by peopleat trustee meetings until provision could be worked out fornew trustees.

The I EC did not see in advance copies of the documentsthat went before the trustees for approval; trustees were thusnot able to judge accurately whether their action wouldmove the Senate proposal forward toward elections and aspring formation of the first Senate. The IEC argued it had alimited mandate, and must be fully satisfied each elementin its earlier document would be realized before it couldproceed. Negotiations on this point were due to begin beforespring recess in late March. Their outcome could not bepredicted.

On campus: "America Is Hard to Find" will be the umbrellatitle for a weekend, April 17-19, on campus to honor theRev. Daniel Berrigan, S.J., associate director of CURW whowill have begun serving a federal prison term then. Popularmusical groups and speakers on the New Left will takepart. Sponsors say, "It is hoped that the experience of alarge and peaceful gathering during the entire weekend willprovide the opportunity to explore the remaining possibilitiesfor a politics of hope in the face of widespread despair."Speakers are to include William Kunstler, attorney for Berriganand others found guilty of destroying Selective Service filesin Maryland, Paul Goodman, Leslie Fiedler, and HarveyCox.

Among the performers are Judy Collins and Country Joeand the Fish.

Father Berrigan was one of four nominees for a 1970National Book Award for his poetry work False Gods, RealMen. He was to begin his three-year prison term in March.

The College of Arts & Sciences aims to have equal numbersof coed and male undergraduates in the near future. Morewomen will be admitted next fall and in the future to bringthe present class ratio from 460 men: 290 women to 460:460.

Women's Liberation Front demonstrators picketed GannettClinic and confronted trustees at dinner in mid-March topress a demand for the appointment of a Dr. Saul Levineof Toronto as director of University Health Services. Thedemand was related to another, that the clinic drop its"no policy" policy on contraceptives, and make it easier forwomen to get them from the clinic. Dr. Levine was notapproved, and the university created a study committee ofnon-Cornell people to review medical services and reportback next fall.

A Black Graduate Students Assn. has petitioned theuniversity for $600,000 a year for three years to support aguaranteed 120 new black graduate students per year. Theyask one-year provisional status in Graduate School for thestudents who would not otherwise qualify. The school admitsabout 1,100 new students each year. Target start for theprogram would be September 1971. The university has notaccepted the proposal.

Faculty: Prof. George Hildebrand, economics and Industrial& Labor Relations, will become the first Maxwell Upson ['99]professor next fall when he returns to campus from servingas deputy under secretary of labor in the Nixon administration.The chair was endowed by a bequest from the TrusteeUpson, chairman of Raymond International.

Alumni: Professors will be available to alumni at Reunion,June 12 and 13, in booths arranged in Barton Hall, a newfeature.

Secretary of State William P. Rogers, LLB '37, will befeatured speaker at the alumni convocation in New YorkCity on April 18.

An eighth candidate for alumni trustee is John AnthonySmith '64, a Law student at the university.

Other sports: Illness hampered tournament performances byfour-event track star Walt Jones, but Cornell came awaywith fourths in the Heptagonal and IC4A meets. Glen Faussetwon the IC4A long jump title.

The varsity basketball team wound up sixth in the IvyLeague, 4-10, and 7-16 for the season, losing final gamesto Princeton 65-58 and Penn 97-63. Fencing was fourth inIvy Play, 1-4, and 4-9 overall, losing final meets with Syracuse14-13, Harvard 21-6, and Penn 23-4. Varsity squash was1-8 overall, 0-5 in Ivy meets for sixth. Final loss was toPenn 9-0. Swimming concluded 4-8, and 1-7 in Easternleague meets for eighth. Final scores: a loss to Dartmouth76-37 and a win from Colgate 61-42. Wrestling was thirdin Ivy meets, 4-2, and 7-9 overall. Final scores: losses toPenn State 33-3 and Princeton 25-8 and wins from Colgate19-17 and Columbia 24-11.

In freshmen sports, fencing ended 3-3 with a win overSyracuse 15-12 and losses to Harvard 14-13 and Columbia15-12. Hockey closed 19-0-1, with wins from Ridley College9-1 and Penn 4-1. Squash was 1-6 on closing losses toHamilton 5-4 and Ridley 9-0. Wrestling finished 1-8.

• A brief report on vital statistics of ourclass is perhaps overdue.

As of this writing (early February) 17men and 11 women classmates are knownor believed to be still living. And that isdoing pretty well for a group whose mem-bers are up in the 90-100-year age bracket.Our class has a proud record of achieve-ment behind it; perhaps we can top it offwith a record number of classmates whoattain that magic century mark.

The years do take their toll; several ofour number, Elizabeth Russell Andrews andHoward Riίey are in nursing homes. Butyour reporter can still swing a snow shovel,and does. No doubt some of you can too.

About the status of our Nut Tree Memo-rial Fund. The latest figure available is thetotal as of June 30, 1969—$5,816.00. Muchof this amount represents "in memoriam"gifts. That royal gift from Howard Riley,which brought the Fund total to over$5,000.00, was in memory of Archie Mor-rison. And there were three gifts in memoryof classmate Lloyd Gage from his children.

I will try to report a more recent figurelater on, when returns from the 1969-1970school year become available.

On April 19, Bessie Stern is to give apiano recital sponsored by some 20 Balti-

, more civic and artistic organizations, theircommittee including the G, J. Requardtsand W. M. Baker '43, Cornell Club ofMaryland president. A reception in Bessie'shonor will follow. Eminent teachers stillcoach her at Peabody Inst. She entertainsus at all Reunions, as at the memorial serv-ice and informally at Residential Hall atour 60th.

The annual dues drive generates enoughmaterial, along with checks, to fill this col-umn for three months. Forgive my delayingpersonal answers till the postscripts to thenext class letter.

Joe Andrews writes of a hard winter,snowed in as of Feb. 4 in his New Britain,Conn., home. Meanwhile Moritz Ankele isenjoying good health and sunshine in Bra-denton, Fla., looking forward to next Junein Ithaca again. A N. Palm Beach Florid-ian, Ralph Baggs, complains of being backin second childhood, activities limited toreadin', 'ritin' and 'rithmetic. Income tax?Fellow MDs came to Val Baker's rescue allof December and January, pulling himthrough pneumonia. He is riding out therest of the snow and cold since Feb. 1making his comeback at home. Pick Bennettis still so emoted over campus activists hepostpones expressing himself beyond feelingentitled to considerable righteous indigna-tion.

Dick Bishop encloses an irridescent feath-er (from one of his game birds?) but saysonly that, like Pick, administrative permis-siveness kept him from our 60th. He holdsup contributions until convinced of a newdeal at (Cornell. Ed Bullis' timing was per-fect for a Chapel Hill visit while one oftwo granddaughters at nearby Duke cele-brated her birthday and flashed an engage-ment ring. Ed has just privately printed thestory of his notable, varied, worldwide ca-reer, Chance Encounters. He was on hisway to meet Gus and Terry Geherin Re-quardt in Florida where they planned many'09 contacts if Gus' legs hold up. Wife Myrawrites for Arthur Callis (his signature onhis check shows why). He stays close tohome. She reads the NEWS to him; hopeshe will be inspired to join us again nextJune. And bring her again, we add. SamCohen, knocked out of our 60th at the lastminute, trusts he will make it this year.Ed Cumpston keeps vertical on two goodhind legs, hibernating through this terrificwinter. He enjoys home and friends, hostingfellow Kent Club lawyers. He risks inquirywhy those good legs don't get him thatshort trip to reunions by inviting me to visithim.

Em Davis supplies a change of address,not that he has moved but he is in room221 {not 211), Nelson House, and the streetnumber and name is changed to 5 Samari-tan Rd., Albany. Al Deermont says it wasmacadam they excavated from his kidneyswhile we missed him in Ithaca, and that,except for the small matter of a bum heart,he is now in good shape. Butch Evans cutshis address to just 15 Park Row, NYC,

saving all that long law firm name, ofwhich he is still senior partner but not over-working, not trying many cases. He con-tinues to sail his boat summers. WernerGoetz says no news, lives comfortably, getsamusement out of his Cambridge, Mass.,environment with its SDS, etc., so-calledidealism.

Another crack at the NYS winter. JimGrant hopes a thaw lets him out of hisSkaneateles igloo in time for the June Re-union. Florence Griffin is another wife be-ing educated on Cornell, reading the NEWSto Charlie. His eyes, impaired by hardeningarteries, won't improve but won't fail en-tirely. They will let him continue to getout for rides and meals but his mobility islimited. Gus Hallberg is getting away earlyin February for six weeks in Tucson, toolate to meet his old Barrington, 111., neigh-bor, Norwood Bard '05, there. Bard diedjust the week before.

Bill Halsey is threatening to quit earn-ing his daily bread at his law practice.Just when he should be in his prime, Billbegins to fear he is "over the hill," asCy Weed used to warble. At last writingthe Jack Hookers had a cook to help keeptheir museum showplace going. Jack hasjoined the If-You-Want-To-Live-Forever,-Get - Something - Wrong - with - Your -Heart Club, is warned to take it easy, nowneeds do nothing he doesn't want to. Hecites election as the laziest man of theclass as his sole bid for fame, ignoring allthose Cs, stripes, medals, etc., as intercol-legiate and Olympic weight man.

Gene Jackson promises to heed my urginghim to continue to uphold the minority sideof the current debate on youth in generaland at Cornell in particular. He and theMrs., who couldn't wait till May to fleethe cold, snow, and pollution of Brooklynfor the roses and birds of their Cape Codplace, are escaping to Florida and PuertoRico.

In recording news of classmates it wasmost interesting that on three occasionsword reached us from the Far West. Firstthere was a long letter from H. Hill Jones,215 Throckmorton, Mill Valley, Cal., acrossthe bay from San Francisco, "A Most En-chanted Setting for the Very Distinguished."What say you to that? Wish we could tran-scribe his letter in detail. Seems that not solong ago his wife ("my manager," as heputs it) decided upon the move from Port-land to be near a married daughter livingnear S.F. and another in the San Diegoarea. A third daughter is with the Museumof Modern Art in NYC. Hill is a retiredtimberman having logged all over the West-ern US, Canada, British Columbia, andeven Honduras and Guatemala. Seemssomeone, as he puts it (remember he triedto play baseball in college), "brushed meback with a high-inside pitch which doctorspronounced to be rather a stroke than astrike. After a tour of many rest homesI snapped out of it in fair shape." Howeverall this precludes his attending the Reunion.

Next comes word from Leslie McBrideof 119 Pine St., Santa Cruz, Cal. For manyyears he was engaged in the poultry busi-ness. There was a family of three, boy andtwo girls, with resulting nine grandchildren.He, too, feels that he will not be able toattend the Reunion.

Finally there is news from one of thePhi Beta Kappa's of our class, namelyLlewellyn (EB) M. Buell of 2932 RhodeliaAve., Claremont, Cal. He instructed me just



July Ί 2—August 8, 1970


how to write about him, to-wit: "Llewellyn(EB) Buell, after retiring from 30 or soyears in the English dept. of UCLA, in1955, tried living in Mexico and Europefor five years, but had to return to Califor-nia for a serious operation. Since 1961 hehas been nursing his disabilities in Clare-mont, Cal." He concludes his letter, "So Iwon't see you at the Reunion, nor the sur-vivors, but you can say Hail and Farewellfor me. Eb."

Now we come East to Charles W. Hagenof 2016 W. Adams St., Phoenix, Ariz. Hissummers he spends in Sparrowbush, so heplans to be at Reunion. In the meantimefor diversion he dances twice a week atArthur Murray's.

From the South, H. D. Kneeland, ParkManor Apts., 118 Woodmount Blvd., Nash-ville, Tenn., reports that after the deathof his wife in 1964 he moved to Nashvilleafter haying lived in Rochester for 39 years.His family consists of one son, three daugh-ters, 11 grandchildren, and one great-grand-son. Frisky (see Class Book) has not yetdecided definitely about Reunion.

Now we come to Elmer T. McCarthy,1825 North Washington Blvd., Hamilton,Ohio. Since retirement 20 years ago mostof his time and interest has been devotedto the pursuit of mineralogy and petrologyin the classroom and lab of nearby MiamiU, and in his lapidary workshop.

From the East there is Morton Lown,295 Albany Ave., Kingston, one of the Vetgraduates of our class, who will find it im-possible to be with us in June. Unfortu-nately, he is an "Amputee-Wheel ChairCase." One of our Ag graduates, Harold N.Kutschbach, Sherburne, sends this crypticmessage, "Present inventory: two Cornelldaughters, two Cornell sons-in-law, and oneCornell granddaughter." From Gen. CharlesGross of Cornwall-on-Hudson comes thesad news of the illness of his wife whichhe fears may preclude his being at Reunion.

In transcribing this letter from John F.Lucey, 1160 Central Ave., Albany, yourcorrespondent would like to add an em-phatic Amen to the last paragraph. Luceywrites: "Since graduation, I have been keptbusy and out of mischief, by trying manylaw suits in the various courts of this stateand in arguing appeals up to and includingthe NY Court of Appeals. Much of thatwork was done for insurance companies,and most of income received was appliedtoward college education of four children.The oldest graduated cum laude from Har-vard, and is now an officer of a large com-mercial bank; the next son formed a cor-poration located in NYC which is activein the field- of business management. Myyoungest son is a commercial airplane pilotwith six children to support and I have en-joyed several. flights with him. My daughterand her husband and son reside in Luther-vilίe, just outside of Baltimore, and shehelps out there in the educational field, in-structing children who are in need of spe-cial help. My 11 grandchildren keep mebusy watching them grow.

"Cornell instruction has proven itselfmost invaluable to me. And the feeling ofdemocracy which permeated the campus farabove Cayuga's waters has remained withme at all times. Even though my childrenselected other educational institutional in-

struction, I still take a great deal of pridein being a graduate of Cornell. No othercollege surpasses it."

with many one-man exhibitions about thecountry.

Both of these men will be sadly missedby all members of our class and we extendour sympathy and condolences to bothfamilies.

On Jan. 10, 1970, Rowena Fiddler Fried-man '35, 69 West Ninth St., New York,wrote the editor of the ALUMNI NEWS: "Ibelieve the following item about a memberof the Class of 1911 may be of interest toyour readers. The Cornell Club of NewYork was the scene on last January 9th ofa party honoring Charles M. Chuckrow onhis 80th birthday. Among those attendingwere his wife, Mollie Goldenberg '13, hisdaughter, Betty Chuckrow Simon '36, hisson, Robert Chuckrow '40. Another son,Charles M. Chuckrow Jr. '44 is in Los An-geles and was unable to attend. Mr. CharlesM. Chuckrow Sr. has long been active withthe Cornell Club of New York and is avice-president of the club at this time."

The '13 news this month will be on avery somber note. As this is being writtenI have received word that we have just losttwo prominent members of our '13 class,John Paul Jones and Marcel K. Sessler.

"J.P" Jones died in Tucson, Ariz., onJan. 5, 1970. He had been our LifetimeClass President since graduation. I am sorryto say that I have received no details inregard to his death. As you will recall,"J.P", in his undergraduate days on theCornell track team, broke the world recordfor the mile run. And on that same dayin his sophomore year he also broke therecord for the half mile. In fact, he couldwin, practically as he pleased, in any dis-tance from the half mile, the mile, the twomile to the cross country. In his senior yearhe was captain of the track team and alsofor the cross country team, as .well as presi-dent of our class.

In 1967 he received national honors whenhe was named as one of the 26 all-timesports greats of the 20th Century by theSportsman's World Award Assn. Theirawards covered a wide field of many dif-ferent sports. Just three others besides"J.P." were chosen in the track and fieldclassification.

Ses Sessler died in Sarasota, Fla., in Me-morial Hospital on Jan. 8, 1970. A memo-rial service was held at the Pine ShoresPresbyterian Chapel in Sarasota. Intermentwill be in Lyme, NH, in April or May. Heis survived by his widow, Clef Sessler, andtwo nephews. Ses was a veteran of WWI,US Navy. He was a stockbroker in NYCbefore his retirement, then moved to Lyme,spending winters in Sarasota until he re-cently made Sarasota his year round home.Ses has kept in close touch with Cornell.As a member of the interclass reunion clubhe has come back every year. He has al-ways been active in various capacities atour own '13 Reunions. He was a giftedmusician and has composed numeroussongs, notably the Cornell song " March On,Cornell." He took up painting as a hobbyafter retirement and with his ability practi-cally made it a vocation, doing much sketch-ing for his paintings on various world trips.His work as a painter has been recognized

The stirring comments about Cornellfootball development methods past andpresent by Bob Kane '34 in the Decemberissue of the NEWS, coupled with the reportof the honors bestowed on nine of theeleven living Ail-American Cornell playersbetween the halves at the Rutgers Centen-nial game, served to arouse some of theOld Timers who had, from time to time,helped to introduce and entertain at theCornell Club of New York some of thelikely young candidates for admission toCornell and a chance at the varsity squad.Classmates were delighted to see coach AlSharpe's protege Jack O'Hearn '15, oldestof the group, pictured beside Allison Danzig'21, retired sports writer of the NY Times.He presented the Centennial Medallions.Those of us who had not been in touchwith Jack in recent years recalled the highpraise of Dr. Sharpe for Jack's spectacularperformances which won him Ail-Americanstatus in our time. "Doc" Sharpe, equallyremembered as head coach of baseball, bas-ketball, and football, was speaking as guestof honor at the 1915 50th Reunion shortlybefore he died, when he said: "Jack wasthe very best!" We congratulate Jack andthe others for proving that there is no "gen-eration gap" among footballers! The goodones know and respect each other, asJerome (Brud) Holland '39 and the otherAil-Americans can testify. They, and we,have all been watching with delight theperformance of today's star, Ed Marinaro,and hoping great things for 1970.

Special. Another 1915 Cornellian gainsfurther distinction. The NY Times carriedin its Dec. 16 issue a half page illustratedstory of the heart-warming ceremony ar-ranged by his colleagues in the State Su-preme Court of Brooklyn at which JudgeSamuel S. Leibowitz announced his retire-ment from the bench after 29 years of serv-ice. At 76 he has served the legal limit per-mitted to justices, which includes three two-year extensions beyond the normal retire-ment age.

Judge Sam has long been known as the"tough judge" who administered iron-handed justice fearlessly but fairly. As arenowned trial lawyer in his earlier years,he was distinguished by his participationin the famous Scottsboro case in Alabamain 1931, as well as by legal associationwith Scarface Al Capone. These associa-tions, he says, taught him "when and howto be tough in dealing with snakes whosefangs could not be extracted. At least theycould be put away."

Expressing his warm appreciation of theovation by those who crowded this unusualcourt session, Justice Leibowitz said hewould try to remain active in his chosenprofession as long as his strength per-mitted. Teaching, lecturing to bar associa-tions and law schools, and serving as acounsel in the Manhattan law firm ofJacob Fuchsberg, should keep him busy.

He had graciously invited Reunion chair-man Claude Williams and your correspond-ent to lunch in his chambers to discussReunion programs under present campusconditions. We are hoping he will havemore time now to participate in our 55thgathering at Ithaca, in this, his own golden

wedding year. May he find his new activitiesmost rewarding.

E. Roy Underwood tells us he is retir-ing from his mutual fund activity as ofmid-February. 'Ίίad enough," says Roy ofNew York, as he returned to his lovelySummit, NJ, home.

From comfortable winter quarters at theCarriage House, Deerfield Beach, Fla.,Ray Riley reports acceptable weather todate. He "expects to start golf before theweather gets too hot—but only for exercise,not for score!" He confirmed that BobMochrie and wife Mary will winter inMadeira and Portugal. Claude and EledaWilliams also planned to include Reid'shotel in Funchal, Madeira, in their tourof Spain and Morocco late in February.

Ray also tells us Allah Torres was ten-dered "a very lovely party at Spring LakeCountry Club by his wife Lillian on his80th birthday." He says Allah celebrated byplaying indoor tennis, as usual. What aman! Congratulations, Allah, from us all.

Ray regretted missing a last minutephone call from Ken Austin as he left forFlorida, but hopes to catch up with himand the in-between years at Reunion, June10-14 at Ithaca. Wish we could reprint thecolumn he sent from the Miami Heraldentitled, "Everyone Enjoys College Reun-ions." It was amusing.

We owe thanks to Bert Lent '21 forsending a half page illustrated story fromthe York Dispatch, Dec. 20th. "The Storyof George Ruby" described the broadactivities of a "retired" York County, Pa.,couple in the fields of art, music, andnature. Pictures of George with the flutewhich he has played in the York SymphonyOrchestra since its organization in 1933and of Mrs. Ruby with some of her sculp-tures and paintings illuminated a revealingaccount of this vigorous octogenarianclassmate. A number of friendly wild birds,including a black-capped chickadee, whichfeed daily at their home, were also depicted.

A catch-as-catch-can conference betweenMurray Death '67, the very cooperativehead of the Alumni Council's Reunion ac-tivities, our own chairman, Claude Williams,and the writer, cleared the way for Residen-tial Club occupancy by early 1915 regis-trants. These double rooms with privatebath are highly prized, but single roomscan be arranged at the new dormitory op-posite Donlon Hall, last year's headquarters.Claude's letter giving full details, rates, anddirections should be in your hands duringthe first week in May.

Meanwhile, please respond promptly toTreasurer Dick Reynolds News & Duesletter of Jan. 30, if you have not alreadydone so. You may properly get a little bitexcited about your upcoming Reunion ad-venture. As Omar Khayam said, "Comealong with me. The best is yet to be!"

And don't forget the splendid opportu-nity for an intellectual rebriefing inherentin Cornell's Alumni U summer offerings.Charlie Heidt was our lone representativelast year. He and his wife enjoyed it thor-oughly.

May we quote a few lines from our1965 50th Reunion poem by Ann ChrismanReeves. Ann is still full of vim and vigor,working on her new home, but will not beable to attend our 55th, June 10-14, 1970.

Now at this Reunion we will bringThe culmination of all the years between,Our defeats and victoriesWhich have shaped our destinies.Still we dream our dreams and singOur songs of hope and love and joy andOf sorrow for those who have left us al-

ready.With calm and courage, mid chaos and

decline,May we maintain our perspective to the end.

As you all know "it's later than youthink," and we hope every '15 woman whocan still crawl will get to Reunion. Hopenext issue will give more names of thosewho will attend.

Louise Ormsby Kleberg's new address isHeritage Village, Southbury, Conn. In June'69 her granddaughter, Katherine Blakeslee,was married in New Haven to Jerry Sprole,mgr. of the Yale Wiffenpoofs.

We learn from Tom Bryant '15 that wifeRosanna McRobert's health has not beenso good. Hope she's better. They expectedto spend the hojidays in Maryland withson Bob and family. Then to Florida fora few weeks. Winter home is in RedfieldVillage, Metuchen, NJ, and they summerat Kenoza Lake.

Our class wishes to express sympathy forthe family of Gertrude Bates '16 whopassed away Nov. 18. Also, get-well wishesfor Cornelia P. Zeller '16, MA '21, whowas ill at holiday time. And a happy, busyretirement for Lois Osborn '16. All thesewomen are well known to us at Cornell.

All of us who have worked on secondaryschool committees are sad at the death ofour friend, Herbert H» Williams '25, whoso fairly conducted the admissions dept. atCornell for so many years.

Middletowners are saddened by the deathin Poughkeepsie of the husband of DorothyPond Knauss '18 and express sympathy toDot, a loyal Cornellian; and at the deathof Louis J. Dughi '36 of Westfield, NJ,both of whose sons are Cornell students.Mr. Dughi spent his boyhood days in Mid-dletown, was a very active alumnus andat one time was in charge of secondaryschool work in our region.

Your correspondent was interested inreading in the '17 notes of Leander I. Shel-ley, LLB '17, of White Plains, who waspresident of our high school graduatingclass in Middletown. We heard from himin '61 when he was too busy to attend our50th Reunion. With eight grandchildrenI'm sure he'll always be pleasantly busy,even if only 20 per cent occupied with thelaw.

as church librarian, director of the women'sdiv. of the Chamber of Commerce, andas a member of a service club. Her husbandhas just completed his term as treasurerof the Santa Fe Council on Internat'lRelations, so these two good people keephappy and out of mischief. Their next tripwas to be to the Rose Bowl parade afterChristmas—grandstand seats.

To my great surprise, I, too, was at theRose Bowl parade. We flew to Californiaunexpectedly to be with son Robert '50and his family for the holidays and our52nd anniversary. It meant a great dealto be with grandchildren on Christmas, anevent we had not had for 12 years. Thenon the 31st, Rob drove us the 400 milesfrom Atherton to Pasadena. Ours was a"fun expedition" for we joined a millionothers on the street, spending the nightthere. And what an experience that was!My white hair paid off and grandma gota lot of attention from the "Happy NewYears" by strangers driving past to thegood care of my family. It was a big treatfrom start to finish. My husband couldnot take such a strenuous outing so hestayed home in Atherton with the dog.

A letter from Herb Snyder informs methat the '16 Men are again planning a"class gathering" in June. There will bean informal dinner on Friday and Saturdaynights, June 12 and 13. "We warmly inviteyou Ladies of '16 to share in our modestaffairs," he wrote. Lloyd '15 and I planto be in Ithaca for his 55th, so hope to seeyou there.

Irma Reeve and Marjorie Sweeting at-tended the Class Officers meeting in Jan-uary in New York. They planned to helpwith the phonathon in February, so someof you may have talked with one of them.

John Shanly, that eminent Buffalo travelagent, has now retired. And what does heintend to do? Like the postman who takesa walk on his day off, John is going to dosome long planned travel. Right now, ac-cording to a late report, he is on, or aboutto return from, another trip around theworld. One of the leading columnists in theBuffalo Courier Express devoted a fullcolumn recently to John's plans for traveland for writing a book which he is quotedas planning "to rewrite while sitting infront of the fireside in my retirement years."Meanwhile, he has written back from HongKong, "I'm going broke here saving moneyon all these bargains;" from Ceylon, tellingof his first ride on an elephant: "Can flyat 40,000 feet and never blink an eyelid,but on top of a 12-foot elephant I wasscared to death." India he found to be ahorrifying contrast between abject povertyand vulgar displays of wealth. Israel is "onefabulous place and make no mistake of it.You have to admire a nation that has takena dust bowl and made it into a gardenabloom." But he concludes: "Here is oneIrishman who has taken a long (thoughmaybe not last) look around and who sayshe will be glad to emigrate to Buffalo."

Word has already gone out from Ithacaconcerning plans for the Cornell Alumni Uthis summer, and another capacity turnoutin 1970 is expected. These alumni courseshave become extremely popular and thecurriculum has had to be expanded as moreand more alumni seek to register. In the1969 classes were registered such stalwartΊ8ers as Benjamin Finkelstein, Daniel G.Fisher, Irene M. Gibson, and Clifford M.Gould. In another month or so we shouldhave a report on the Ί8ers registrations.

From Harry L. Drescher '14 comes anote informing me of the death of hisbrother and my old friend, Herbert C.Drescher. Herb died at the Veterans Hos-pital in Brooklyn and was buried in theNational Cemetery in Pine Lawn, LongIsland.

Helen and Walt Palmer have evidentlybeen doing another of their marathon tripsaround North America. From Lafayette,La., comes a card (sent first to Joe Lorin,then by him to Lou Freedman, and fromLou to me) picturing the Palmers in, of allplaces, Alaska (and good pictures they are,too). Walt wrote: "We arrived in Anchor-age the day after that $900-million oil-lease auction and the town was * jumpin'with ideas of how to spend it fast. Now,much later, down in the Cajun area ofLouisiana we have been rather pleasantlytourist-trapped into following the footstepsof Longfellow's Evangeline. The trip, 17,000miles by Volkswagen, is as the airlines flyequal to about once around the world, andwithout any pain." Lou Freedman in for-warding Walt's card commented on theawfulness of New York's winter: "We havehad two snowstorms already and todaythe temperature is hovering around zero."And then he added: "In order to escape itall I expect to go to the Bahamas shortlyfor a few weeks of thawing out."

Lou Samuels still lives in Mt. Vernon,still keeps moderately active, and reportsthat he hopes to get his granddaughteraccepted by Cornell for admission nextSeptember. His son is a 1949 alumnus.Abraham N. Richardson reports being offi-cially retired, but kept busy presenting aseries of lectures on current events.

We saw all our son's family in June(Rusty ΓShurly, Jr.] is Cornell '41); his threechildren are all finished with college andmarried." To top it all off, Shurly andElizabeth can boast already of two great-grandchildren.

On Jan. 24 I attended the Founder's Dayluncheon of the Cornell Women's Club ofRochester in company with Adelheid ZellerLacy '16. It was a very pleasant occasion,at the Chatterbox Club, with Mrs. Sol(Evelyn Zimmerman) Linowitz, a formerpresident of the club, as the speaker. Shedescribed some of her experiences in Wash-ington and in South America when herhusband was ambassador to the OAS.

At table with me were Adelheid, HesterA. Austin '16, Ina W. Hall '18, BettyKeiper '21 and Lillian Heicklen Gordon'56. Ina Hall, cheerful in a red dress, re-members our 35th Reunion and regrets thatthe illness of her roommate prevented herattending our 50th. She attends concerts likethe "artists' series" and sometimes seesMiriam Kelley Dye '17. Judge Marvin Dye'17 and Miriam were abroad last fall; theirdaughter, Julianne Dye Cristy '51 is a nurse.

Carroll Griminger '24 had brought Inato the luncheon, and told me that FrancesE. Searles is recovering from a cataractoperation. It will be a few months beforeshe can get about whenever she wants to.

Ina Hall hears from Frances West Eng-lish and husband Rowland at times andreports that life in Madison, Wis., suitsthem very v ell.

Norma Ross Fox '27, schools chairmanfor the Club, reports that there are "moreapplicants from this area than ever before."

Holiday greetings came from EleanorBrown, Clara Starrett Gage, and DagmarSchmidt Wright, among others. Dagmarentertained the Cornell Women's Club inDecember and had "a lot of fun with thetraditional Christmas plum puddings whichour family have always made as a Christ-mas project." Dagmar had had lunch atKatherine McMurry Benson's, while AliceBlinn '17 was visiting Kay.

Maxine Montgomery Mwsser sends aclipping from the Middletown Record re-porting the death on Ian. 11 of LillianLybolt Hammond. She is survived by herhusband, Maynard C.

For the first time in 15 years or moreyour scribe failed to answer roll-call forthe mid-January meeting at the HotelRoosevelt in New York. Mahlon Beakes,our treasurer, also failed to make it. Wewere iced in and couldn't get out of ourdriveways.

Fortunately, conditions were better inNew lersey, and Mike Hendrie, our presi-dent, and Margaret Kinzinger, secretary forthe '19 Women, were on hand and carriedout class duties most efficiently. JohnShepard also dropped in for a short time,so 1919 was well represented after all.

The Class of 1919 fared very well incomparative class rankings, according todata presented at the meeting. Our bigturnout at the 50th Reunion brought us upnear the top.

The Fred Ensworths in a Christmas cardto the Hendries inclosed a clipping from alocal paper. Under the 75-years-ago columnit said: "Manager Fred Ensworth hassecured the Amherst baseball team for theopening game of the season at WoronocoPark." Fred is probably the oldest man inthe class as this fixes his age at 95 or 96.After all, there it is in black and white—and newspapers are frequently correct. Weare sorry to report that Ruth Ensworth hasbeen having a painful time with a slippeddisc.

Paul Skelding is confined to a nursinghome in Manlius, according to his sisterMarjorie Skelding Powell. Paul had for-merly lived in Hartland, Vt.

We received an interesting letter fromElmer Loveridge who lives in Oswego. Theletter was written in mid-January andamong other things he mentions it has beenjust too cold to venture outdoors much.How does that sound to you boys inRochester, Ithaca, and Albany?

From Bob Story in West Palm Beach,Fla., comes word that his daughter, Robin,is working like a Turk at Cornell and re-sides in Clara Dickson Hall. Robin was ourclass "mascot" at Reunion and took careof many details that made the Reunion runmore smoothly. Good luck, Robin!

George B. Gordon of Jamaica, Vt.,writes that although "retired" he is nowworking a seven-day week with a monthlyor weekly column "Sunrise to Sunset" inthree regional papers, and as a contributorto Vermont Sportsman, Outdoor Life, andother publications, with occasional articlesin National Sport magazine on trout fishing.

He is heavily engaged in conservationactivities with Federation of Sportsmen,Regional Planning Commissions, and in re-


clamation of the Connecticut River Basinas an executive director of Four StateConnecticut River Watershed Council.George says there is more work to do everyyear, and has made a resolve never to re-tire again as there is too much work, par-ticularly types without financial reward.

He also received the award as VermontWater Conservationist for 1969. At anyrate, George is leading a busy and in-teresting life. The seven-day week, inciden-tally, is quite common in the writing busi-ness and there are some who even workeight-day weeks at times.

Bob Spear writes that the Reunion wasthe highlight of the Spears' seven weekstrek to the East Coast. They visited rela-tives and friends in eight states while onthe trip.

By the time this read, the big snows ofJanuary will be a memory; but they willnot soon be forgotten by our Reunionchairman, Helen BuIIard. In her area, nearAlbany, it was necessary to have snowshoveled off roofs to reduce weight andleaks from frozen drains. This preventedHelen from attending the Class Officers*Workshop in New York. She is active inchurch work and the local Historical Assn.,and since Reunion has had a number oftrips throughout eastern New York State.

Our world traveler, Gladys Gilkey Cal-kins, has remained in the US since Reunion,with headquarters at her home in Arling-ton, Va. 1969 was a busy year for her,commencing at Tunghai U in Taiwan,teaching and writing, followed by trips toBorneo, Malaysia, and Penang. After Re-union she spent the summer on Nantucket,with a full complement of children andgrandchildren as guests. She writes thatshe is now settled at home base; but, know-ing Gladys, she surely will have personalinvolvement in all sorts of worthwhile ac-tivities.

Rose Werther Gruman writes that sheand Roy '17 have 12 grandchildren. Theyspend their winters in Vero Beach, Fla.,where they are near neighbors of anotherex-trustee, John CoIIyer.

REUNION DAZEListen, my children, and you shall hearOf a class renowned in a bygone year,When Cornell U was in its prime,And coffee cost just half a dime,And, far above Cayuga's waters,

Dwelt many sons—but darned few daughters,As some males thought coeds de trop,(They sure upset the status quo)And, while at first, war's strain and strifeDisrupted normal college life,Still, seen thru memory's roseate hazeThose were, indeed, the good old days!Before John Held portrayed the flapperAnd raccoon-coated whippersnapper;Ere chaperones had been abolished,And other quaint ideas demolished;When guys who missed the midnight trolleyTrudged up the Hill on foot, by golly.This Class, intent on quite surpassingAll other classes who'll be massing,Has planned and plotted since September,And urges buddies to rememberJune 10 to 14 they'll be running,While clowning, marching, cheering, croon-

ing,Full 50 years dismissing,Once they're absorbed in reminiscing;(Say, Ho, recall that beat-up taxiThat you and Russ-Oh, hi there Maxy!)Yes, listen kids, and you'll hear plenty—Here come those boys of Nineteen Twenty!

Our congratulations and thanks to TeddyBallou, wife of our Reunion chairman,Hosea Cushnian Ballou, for this nostalgicbit of verse reminiscent of our under-graduate years. Originally published in thiscolumn in 1955, it has been currently re-vised for our 50th Reunion. To be sure,those were the "good old days" and mightyworthwhile recalling and reliving with thepals you'll meet June 10 to 14. How canyou stay away?

Prexy Corson is wellon his way to becoming a great Cornellpresident, and we're fortunate to have himas our main speaker at our All-Class Ban-quet in June.

At the February meeting of the CornellClub of Southern Arizona, held at the Stu-dent Union on the university campus inTucson, 1920 classmates present included:Regene Freund Cohane, winter vacationingat a ranch in the nearby mountains; HenryBenisch, who, with his charming wife Kayand his violin, was in Tucson for the annualmeeting of the Nat'l Lawn Tennis Assn.;James S. Whitman of Buffalo and Tucson;and yours truly. All vowed to meet againon the Cornell campus in June for our 50thReunion.

Mildred LaMont Pierce, our hard-work-ing Reunion chairman, tells me that in addi-tion to the list of names of promised re-uners which I gave you in February, shealso has heard an "I'll be there" from AliceSmith.

After a bout of flu, Dorothea Koch Postrecuperated in Florida where, she says, shemet more Cornellians, more Brooklynites,and more Staten Islanders, than she evermeets at home in Brooklyn.

By the time you read this, you will havereceived the letter Alice Callahan Jensenand Mildred Pierce sent to all classmates,outlining Reunion plans and asking foryour reservation, so that advance arrange-ments for your campus visit can be suit-ably made. If you haven't responded al-ready, please do so at once. Mildred's jobis not an easy one, and every one of uswho fails to cooperate makes it that muchharder for her.

It is usual for 50th Reunion classes tomake a special gift to their alma mater.Edith Stokoe, our Alumni Fund representa-tive, is in charge of enlisting your coopera-tion so that 1920's gift may be a significantone. This year there is the added incentiveto our giving, in that an alumnus haspledged a sorely needed million dollars toCornell, provided other alums match it withnew gifts or gifts beyond their usual giving.Here's a chance for us all to help keepCornell an outstandingly excellent privateinstitution.

And speaking of money—which I dislikedoing—I wonder if some three of you, whohave not yet paid your dues for the currentyear, won't please send me your check forfive dollars, payable to Cornell University,Class of 1920 Women. Why "three"? Well,you see, 97 of you have already paid (andmy grateful thanks to each of you) but Iwould like very much to be able to report100 dues-paid classmates at our quinquen-nial class meeting in June. Who will stepup to help me?

April. Spring at last. And June is onlytwo months ahead. I am getting more andmore excited about Reunion, seeing youagain, re-living old memories and hearingyour news, seeing once more the old fa-miliar places and getting acquainted withthe changing campus scene. Each one ofus enriches the Reunion experience ofevery other classmate. So come. Do come.There won't ever be another 50th for 1920.

Walter C. Christensen worked for manyyears with a group of consulting engineersin New Brunswick, NJ. Within a very fewmonths after retirement he had had enoughof it and went back to work as assistantbuilding inspector for Edison Township,NJ. Your correspondent passes throughEdison Township several times a week andcan verify that there are enough buildingsgoing up to make plenty of work forWalter, even though he does most of hisinspecting on the inside.

Albert J. Hugger has spent most of histime since retirement in working for the AllWorld Bank, which requires a great amountof travel. On his last trip he went com-pletely around the world. Starting fromWashington, some of the places which hevisited were, Anchorage, Tokyo, Bangkok,Borneo, New Delhi, Tehran, Rome, Munich,and London. On one recent trip he climbedan active volcano in Guatemala. His wifestays at home in Rahway, NJ, and helpslook after their 16 grandchildren.

Willard B. Otis, formerly of Venice Cen-ter, not too far from Ithaca, has lived mostof the time in New Jersey since graduatingin Agriculture. He is now retired after manyyears as a biology teacher in high school.

Calling all artists or would-be artists!Also craftsmen and other hobbyists in ourclass who have something to show for theirefforts. This means men of '21, as well asfemales.

When our 50th Reunion rolls around inanother year we're thinking of featuring aHobby Show. The Class of 1919 had oneat its 50th and it was a great success. Canwe do less?

But if we're going to display our talentsthus boldly we must make plans. And be-fore we plan, we must have a show ofsupporting hands. So, if you, fellow class-mate of either sex, go along with this idea,please, without delay, drop a note (a post-card will do) to tell her so to Irma M.Greenawalt, 1930 S. Milwaukee St., Den-ver, Colo. Tell her also what you wouldlike to exhibit and give a brief description.

Irma says: "The show would includepaintings in all media—oil, water color,acrylic, and mixed; ceramics, woodwork(not too large), sculpture (wood, metal,clay), woven articles, serigraphs, and draw-ings in pencil, ink, or charcoal.

"This is not a competition (it's open toboth amateurs and professionals), thereforeno awards or prizes would be given. How-ever, if you would be interested in thesale of your product, a price list could bemade available."

If art isn't your thing, how about aphotograph, a poem, a book, needleworkor even a potted plant (of special quality,of course)? Creativity is what counts. Let'shear about it.

Bill Archbold is living in real snow coun-try at 112 East Third St., Oswego. Thewinds really blow across Lake Ontario andyou have to be rugged to take it and like it,too. Another resident, according to ourrecords, is Bill O'Brian, from whom wehear very little.

Ted Banta is now comfortably retiredand resides in Southbury, Conn. His addressis 120-A Heritage Village where condo-minium adjoins the golf course.

Marty Bentley is still with the Youngs-town (Ohio) Sheet & Tube Co., but he findstime to play a little golf once in a while.He also gets in a share of hunting.

Dave Dattelbaum is off again to his in-ternational job in Pakistan. They just won'tlet him cool his heels in Florida as he hadintended. Dave will be away for three orfour months and so we cannot expect tosee him at our dinner in NYC on that "lastFriday in April." Joe Motycka will presideat that annual celebration.

Horace (Spitz) Davies and Mary still livein Plattsburg, where you can still find himat the local post office. Just ask for thepostmaster and Spitz will greet you in hisusual enthusiastic way.

Audrey and Bob Fisher still occupy theirattractive home in Los Altos where she isthe mayor of the town and a good one,too. Bob manages the Western Sales Co.where, if you remember, he coined thosefine souvenirs of our 35th Reunion. PerhapsBob is dreaming up some unique idea forour Fiftieth in June 1972.

Rumor has it that Bill Gutwillig's spouse,Jacqueline, was recently appointed byPresident Nixon to the Citizen's AdvisoryCouncil on the Status of Women. We won-der what status Bill has now?

Ruth and Al Manchee divide their timebetween Pompano Beach, Fla., and Man-toloking, NJ, so they manage to keep theireyes on the Atlantic.

Sam Pennock Still holds forth in Balti-more, Md., and we wish he would try atrip to Ithaca one of the spring days tocome.

On request from your reporter we havea letter from our classmate Elizabeth Brew-ster Kirkland reporting on what they ex-perienced from hurricane Camille in August'69. Betty and her husband L. C. Kirkland'21, live on a farm in Moselle, Miss., about70 miles from the Gulf. His brother, J. B.Kirkland '18 and wife Eleanor George '21,and his nephew, J. B. Kirkland Jr. '50 havehomes nearby.

"On Sunday, before the storm hit thatnight, different neighbors in our communitygathered together to discuss things we shoulddo to prepare. By this time it seemed cer-tain Camille would hit the Mississippi gulfcoast and head straight north in our direc-tion. We know from previous experiencethat the first thing that would happen wouldbe the electric power would be cut off, treesfalling on power lines, etc. This not onlycuts off lights, refrigeration, air condition-ers, stoves, etc., but our water supply. Soour first concern was to fill every possiblecontainer with water. We brought in alloutdoor furniture and tied down anythingthat might blow away.

"It was a horrible night and we willnever forget it if we live to be a hundred.The wind and the rain grew steadily worseand you never knew what minute one ofthese huge old trees in our yard wouldcome crashing down on our little framehouse. One large twin cedar near the south-east corner of the house blew over, un-rooted, half of it going on the south side,the other half covering the east side, tear-ing loose all the electric wires to the house.Fortunately, it damaged the roof onlyslightly (it didn't even leak) but it wrappedup two sides of the house completely. Wecould hear the tall pines nearby snappingoff and falling, and we were bombardedwith big green pine cones all night long.The rain came in sheets, blowing in underthe windowsills, with water running downthe walls. We kept the transistor radio go-ing all night. All the nearby stations wereout of power, but one little station on theway to Jackson did a marvelous job keep-ing us informed. The eye of the hurricane,with winds up to 130 mph, passed on theoutskirts of Hattiesburg, our nearest city,12 miles away. In the morning it was a sadsight, just a shambles. All of the beautifulold pecan trees were broken and beatenand hundreds of nuts on the ground im-mature and wasted. But no person was hurt.It took us a couple of months to clean awaythe debris. The trees will never look thesame, but we do have enough wood workedup for the fireplace to last several years.Our 20 cu. ft. deep freeze was full offrozen food and the thought of losing itwas distressing. We covered the freezer withblankets, papers, and rugs. We didn't loseall, though the power was off about a weekat our house. After a few days the Cooper-ative in Hattiesburg brought in a truckloadof dry ice and we stood in long lines in theboiling sun to get some for the freezer. Wethought we had it pretty rough but three

weeks after the storm we made a trip tothe coast to visit friends and realized howlucky we were. There it was really desola-tion, and the poor people, how they couldbe so cheerful and optimistic about thefuture was beyond me. It was the most de-pressing sight I have ever seen."

E. D. (Ernie) Leet (picture), our first classpresident, is still practicing law in James-town. He scorns the idea of retirement,

but there is no record of his reaction toa juicy retirement income, if and whenpossible. In addition to his daily profes-sional activities, he also finds time to lurethe famous muskellunge from nearbyLake Chautauqua. See photo for evidence.The fish is almost as big as he is, and itwas caught from a canoe. He left his uke-lele home. As an additional avocation,Ernie is devoting a lot of time in a cam-paign to clean the waters of Lake Chau-tauqua. He was active in promoting enact-ment of a Lake Chautauqua sewer district.As Ernie points out, these waters are thebeginning of vast river flow into the Al-legheny, then the Ohio, and finally theMississippi which flows majestically pastNew Orleans on its way to the Gulf ofMexico. Probably very few of us linkJamestown with the Gulf of Mexico, butjust take a good look at the map, and thereit is. He also reports a lot of hunting activ-ity in Canada, and there is venison in theLeet freezer. More power to you, Ernie.

K. B. (Ken) Spear dips into the philo-sophical with a short paragraph: "With allthe current turmoil in the world we some-times wonder how long it will be beforeit all catches up with us. But in the mean-time we enjoy good health, good friends,and a zest for life." Not a bad bandwagonto ride on.

Jason Clark has retired from long servicewith Consolidated Edison Co. in Brooklyn.He is now looking forward to the easy lifein their little house in North Rose, only 80miles from Ithaca. If the family jalopyholds up, he expects to enjoy many of theevents on the Hill.

Raymond A. Kohin lives in Oxford, Me.,May through September, and at Rte. 7, Box425, Tucson, Ariz., for the other half ofthe year. His comments on this engagingdual life are so pleasant that I would liketo share them with you. "We enjoy Tucson—weather and otherwise. With the usual70 degree temperature as a high and 20 to30 per cent humidity, who would not? Andthere is so much to see and do if you wishto do so. Never will I say that any onespot is the most beautiful in the country.Maine is wonderful, the Finger Lakes andMohawk valley are at the top, and for mytrip from New York to Ithaca for thePrinceton game last fall, Rte. 17 was out ofthis world. If the weather is good we hopeto get to the Grand Canyon and the Nava-ho country in Northeastern Arizona soonafter April 1st on our way back East."

Here's another interesting quote from an-other classmate who reports on far travels.Albert J. Blackwood writes: "This fall wejoined a tour group of nine people makingan all air trip through Central America,primarily to visit the Mayan ruins in Yuca-tan, Guatemala, and Honduras. They areutterly fantastic, and in our humble opin-ion greatly more interesting than the Incaruins in Peru, or the oriental ruins atAngkor Wat in Cambodia. Also the 7 hour,70 mile, narrow gage railroad train tripfrom San Jose, Costa Rica, across the

mountains to the Caribbean shipping townof Limon, along mountain ledges, acrosstrestles, and without tunnels, is an experi-ence never to be forgotten. Now we areback in Florida for the winter. But class-mates, if you have such a trip in your fu-ture plans, don't put it off too long. At age70, almost, the climbing is a bit strenuous,and even holding onto the chains anchoredtop and bottom on the steps of the pyra-mids, the going can be rough."

Elsie says this is giv-ing her time to really enjoy the visit of aDanish teenager who is attending the localhigh school as a Rotary exchange student,while living at the Wells home, 24 RiverAve., Riverhead. The girl has decided thatAmerican history is her favorite subject,and Elsie has sensed a great change in herattitude toward the USA since she came tostay with them. Elsie says it is probably dueto the Christmas expedition to Washington,DC, and Florida, but I am inclined to thinkperhaps Elsie and "Line" (Horace D. '35)may have had something to do with thefriendly feeling she has acquired.

Retirement has also allowed Elsie to joinher husband's business trips, another bonusallowing her to enjoy herself immensely,these days.

So wherever you areon May Day Eve, drop what you're doingand attend. The time of life you'll have maybe your own.

It will be on the air April 25th andit is such an outstanding, timely show thatshe was given an extra half hour—makingit a 90 minute program—and she says itneeds every minute. To quote: "It was alabor of love for everyone on the staff butalso quite devastating to the emotions." Thisis down on my calendar right now! Lucy'sdaughter, Barbara, is editing full time forMaysles Films, and Lucy co-produced achildren's feature with them for NBC inDecember.

Enjoyed hearing from a lot of you atChristmas. Susan Lynn, daughter of John

Paraphrasing, no news is no news. If theClass column has held little interest foryou, then no news is good news. But forthose of you who measured the status ofyour correspondent medically and surgicallythrough the past four years by the presenceor absence of the column, never fear. Onlythe lack of '44 news precipitated the crisison the international ('44) news front. Thedelayed mailing of the 1970 class duesnotice has been the critical factor. Membersof the class seem reluctant to send inprintable quotes without an accompanyingfin. That may be all right with chancellor ofthe exchequer, John Meyers, but it raisesthe devil with the home secretary. (I domy own typing.) If you don't have any-thing to report now, move, get promoted,get married, or have twins. News is needed.Preferably sensational news, to make upfor the missing '44 columns in February andMarch. You know, your correspondent ispresident of the Assn. of Class Officers. Oneof the measures of a good class is the regu-lar appearance of the class column in theNEWS. See what you're doing to me?

But the class was well represented at theAssociation meeting in January. PresidentArt Keston and v.p. Peg Addicks Hendersonwere there, along with Dotty Kay Kesten,Charlie Williams, former class secretary,Dan Morris, and your correspondent. Artwas elected a director of the Association.He will serve as general chairman of the

Bob Ballard is also serving . . . as medicaldirector of Vassar Brothers Hospital, Pough-keepsie. Bob was appointed to the post inNovember. Prior to coming to the mid-Hud-son area, Bob had been medical director ofMcNeil Labs and v.p. and director ofmedical research in Winthrop Labs. Forfour years he was an instructor in problemsof practice at Syracuse U Med. School. Bobwas a captain and flight surgeon in theUSAF. (Bob Carter didn't know that, didyou, Nick?).

We have trouble keeping up with PeteBellis. Fortunately, his father, Herbert F.Bellis '11, reports for Pete. The new addressis M. Peter Bellis, Jefferson Chemical Co.U.K., 1 Knightsbridge Green, London SW1.Pete is director of European sales. I wasabout to suggest that he is our mosttraveled classmate, for his several moves—Switzerland, New Rochelle, Houston, Lon-don. Then Jack Halpin comes to mind—Bolivia, Washington, Argentina. And RalphSeefeidt, up on the Tibetan border. Manymiles that I can only imagine in lookingat a map. But I really can see much morethan those thousands of miles of water thatRuss Geib has covered in the Pacific andSoutheast Asia. They're much more realto me; having flown some of them byoctant, astro compass, magnetic compass,drift meter, air speed indicator, andaltimeter. But miles may be shorter today,so I won't suggest who has been the mosttraveled of the '44's. However, most class-mates would enjoy making their own per-sonal choice. Let's record in the column thevoyages, and see whose path would dothe most damage to a Mercator projection.(Army AF navigation training talkingagain.) Your columnist looks forward toreceiving many sea stories!

Back in Ithaca, Ralph Bolgiano continuesto confound us Arts graduates. He journeyedto Ottawa, Canada, in January to give fourlectures on "Tropospheric Propagation ofVHF-UHF Waves."

RalphRiehl Jr., Erie, Pa., says his oldest daughter,Christine, is married, finishing college, andexpecting. His son, Chip, will be a sopho-more at Trinity and was captain of the JVswimming team, naturally. Cathie is still inhigh school. The Riehls are taking theiryoungest to Europe this summer.

Tod Knowles, who recently decided towork for himself, says, "The class dues arecheap at twice the price." The Dept. ofState announced that Scott Heuer Jr. wassworn in as Inspector General of ForeignAssistance with a ranking of Assistant Sec-retary in the State Dept. Eugene Wolfe Jr.has been appointed v.p., sales, for the Wolfe& Mann Mfg. Co. of Baltimore.

• The many ties that bind the variousinstitutions which make up the MedicalCenter have been further strengthenedby the recent association of their alumniorganizations.

Under the leadership of Dr. AlbertRubin, MD '50, president of the CUMCAlumni Assn., representatives of theAlumni Organizations of: CUMC Cor-nell Medical & Surgical Divisions ofBellevue, Cornell Medical Centers fac-ulty, Cornell Eye group, Cornell GradSchool of Medical Sciences, the Lying-inHospital, Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat,Memorial Hospital, The NY Hospital,North Shore Hospital, Cornell U-NYHospital School of Nursing, Payne Whit-ney Psychiatric Clinic, Sloan KetteringInst., and the Hospital for Special Sur-gery, have been meeting to discuss waysin which the individual units, throughjoint action, might improve upon theircontributions towards the betterment ofthe community.

There is among the institutions, a tre-mendous reservoir of talent which couldbe used in creating group programs inpatient care, teaching, and research. Atthis time the Associated Alumni Organi-zations present an important means ofcorporate action, and with Cornell Uni-versity Medical College as the connectinglink between the various institutions, ameaningful program of joint actionwould lend strong support to the Medi-cal College Deanship.

Reunion, on April 10 and 11, is thefirst major event planned by the Asso-ciated Alumni. The general sessions be-gin with a prospective discussion led byDr. J. Robert Buchanan, MD '54, andDr. E. Hugh Luckey. Participants in thissession, "The Cornell Medical Commu-nity in the 70's," will include: Mr.Richard D. Vanderwarker '33 and Dr.Frank Horsfall of Memorial-Sloan Ket-tering; Dr. Robert L. Patterson of TheHospital for Special Surgery; Dr. Law-

rence Scherr '50, MD '57, of NorthShore Hospital; Dr. Donald Shafer, MD'36, of Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat;Miss Muriel Carbery '37, dean of theCornell University-New York HospitalSchool of Nursing; Dr. Thomas Meikle'51, MD '54, dean of the Grad Schoolof Medical Sciences; and Dr. David D.Thompson '43, MD '46, director of TheNew York Hospital.

A symposium has been scheduled foreach of the two days; the first, organizedby Dr. Irving Wright '23, MD '26, willbe on "Thrombosis and Embolism." Thesecond, under the chairmanship of Dr.Walter F. Riker Jr., MD '43, will be on"Man Made Disease." Panel discussionswill follow the symposia.

Presentation of the Alumni Award ofDistinction will be made on Saturdaymorning and, this year, a second awardhas been instituted. It has long been feltthat there should be some form of recog-nition for those people, not graduates ofCUMC, whose enthusiasm and dedica-tion have had such a great influence onits development. The board of directorspassed a resolution to create an Honor-ary Fellowship of the CUMC AlumniAssn., the award to be presented an-nually at Reunion. Dr. John E. Deitrickand Dr. Joseph C. Hinsey have beennamed the first Honorary Fellows. An-other first for 1970 is that a school holi-day has been declared for April 10th toallow student participation.

The social events begin with a recep-tion in Olin Hall on Friday evening. TheDean's luncheon will be on Saturdaywith Dr. W. Clarke Wescoe, MD '44, asspeaker. Dr. Wescoe, formerly chancellorof the U of Kansas, is president of theChina Medical Board and a trustee ofColumbia U. The annual dinner dancewill be in the Grand Ballroom of theRoosevelt Hotel.

As far-fetched as the concept of makingfund raising an enjoyable experience sounds,the Cornell Fund seems to have come upwith the formula. The recent week of phona-thons at the Cornell Club of New Yorkwere not only effective, but also fun forthe participants. After cocktails and dinnerat the club, a phone, carte blanche to callanyplace in the US, and a stack of pledgecards were provided. The reaction of thepotential contributor in Arizona, for ex-ample, to a call from a classmate in NewYork, is invariably one of pleasant surpriseand the results are excellent. Among theparticipants this year were Dick Lustberg,Don Geery, Ron Hailparn, Irwin Feiner,and Howard Lemelson. If you are calledupon to participate in future phonathons,no matter what your previous experiencein fund raising has been, I can assure youthat a rewarding evening is in store for you.

This time they visited Japan, Taiwan,the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Hawaii.Their six children stayed at home (which isRte. 3, Ogdensburg), where oldest son Bill,17, has been spending quite a bit of histime filling out college applications.

PTA (as president), Cub Scouts (denmother for eight active Cubs), and the Cor-nell Women's Club (program chairman ofthe Mid-Hudson C.W.C.) are the activitieslisted by Mary Barker Hotchkiss. Mary's ad-dress is still 88 Hills Terr., Poughkeepsie.

Sea Life Park, the dream-made-reality inHawaii of Tap '53 and Karen Wylie Pryorhas been the subject of more and more at-tention and comment . . . in Look maga-zine, in National Geographic, and recentlyon Wild Kingdom, a TV show seen here inthe East, and hopefully elsewhere. And nowa friend has sent along a fascinating articlewritten by Karen for the December '69 issueof Psychology Today. It's called "BehaviorModification—the Porpoise Caper" and tellshow porpoises were actually trained to makeup their own tricks. My 12-year-old daugh-ter, a budding ecologist and fulltime animallover, is terribly impressed that I knowsomeone who trains porpoises. If she is anyindication of the interest among young peo-ple in this field, Sea Life Park had betterbegin bracing itself for an invasion.

At the midwinter meeting of class officersheld in New York City on January 17, BillLalonde, Duane Neil, Sorscha Brodsky, andI listened to the usual reports and panels,but found that the point around which ourown meeting revolved, was the feeling thatwe ought to be doing more as a class. Forinstance, the enormously successful AlumniU was founded by the Class of '56 underthe leadership of Curt Reis (now a candidatefor trustee). Just what the possible projectsare for the Class of '54 will be the subjectof a poll which will be written and mailedlater this year. However, if you alreadyhave a great idea that needs only to belistened to, don't wait for the poll, drop Billa line. His address is 13 Delwick Lane, NewProvidence, NJ.

This column is written about one man,Curtis S. Reis. Curt is a friend of mine and

of many people inour class. He hasworked tirelessly forCornell. This year hisachievements havebeen recognized. Curtis running for Trusteeof Cornell Universityand has been en-dorsed by the Com-mittee on AlumniTrustee Nominations.

The work that Curt does for the uni-versity goes beyond the normal. Curt hasbeen the guiding light of our class, no mat-ter what position he has held. Very littlewould have been accomplished without hisprodding and efforts that seemed to affectevery aspect of class activity.

It is not my purpose to electioneer or ex-plain why one should vote for Curt. Bythe same token, when one has done so muchfor Cornell, it seems only logical that thefirst backing for such a man would comefrom the Class of 1956.

Cornell Alumni U would still only be adream without his efforts. Today, over 1,000people are expected to attend this summer'ssession. The Cornell phonathons got theirstart under a group led by Curt and, again,due to his work in this area, the AlumniFund has grown greatly. Curt has been rec-ognized in his appointment as chairman ofthe Men's Class program and a member ofthe Cornell Fund board.

One could go further in the list of hisachievements and mention the Cornell Uni-versity Council and the Cornell Club ofBergen County. When all is said and done,however, room must be left for a personalappraisal by one old friend.

No matter how busy as a v.p. at Banker'sTrust Co. Curt always has time for theproblems of his friends. His involvement incommunity activities, especially when therights of others are threatened, is legendary.A busy man, yes, but one who spends muchtime with his wife, Nancy, and their three

children while somehow finding time tohead his tennis club or some other com-munity activity.

Curt comes from a Cornell family thathas given much service to Cornell. Someonehas to point out these facts and I havechosen this space to do it in. Whatever sup-port you can give to Curt in the upcomingTrustee election would be time well spent.He will give representation to the youngerclasses in the councils of the universitywhere little has existed before.

Perhaps you are already aware of thedeath of one of our classmates, Ben Park,killed in action in Korea during 1969. Itwas reported that a medical evacuation heli-copter, in which Ben had been dispatchedto help rescue several US soldiers, crashedupon take-off, killing everyone aboard.

Ben had recently completed exhaustivestudies in New York in preparation for acareer in surgery, and only weeks prior tohis leaving for Korea had taken his medicalboard exams in general and thoracic sur-gery. It seemed to many who knew himthat Ben was destined for greatness in thefield of surgery, having developed what wasan apparent natural talent under some ofthe finest surgeons in the world. In one ofhis last letters, Ben tells of his experiencesworking as resident surgeon to Dr. C. W.Lillehei (teacher of Drs. Bernard and Shum-way), performing heart surgery seven daysa week. Ben was dedicated to medicine andhence to the benefit of mankind, and hisdeath is a great loss.

A group of Cornellians in our class whorowed with Ben have established the Dr.Benjamin S. Park Jr. Crew Memorial.

The final decision on the use of the me-morial fund depends in part on the amountof money received. In any event, the memo-rial will be such as to benefit the Cornellcrews.

In addition to all oarsmen who had anycontact with Ben during his four years atCornell, it was felt that certain others inhis class might like to participate in thismemorial. If you do, please send a checkmade out to Cornell University, and includea note stating that your gift is to be partof the Dr. Benjamin S. Park Jr. Crew Me-

During this month you will be receivingyour ballots for the selection of UniversityTrustees. It has been called to my attentionthat an outstanding candidate has been en-dorsed by the Nominating Committee. Itshould be of special interest to you that thiscandidate, Curtis Reis, is a graduate of theclass of '56. In addition to an outstanding

record of service to Cornell, Curtis willbring to the board, if you help elect him, anelement of youth which is long overdue inthe office of trustee. The rest of this columncould easily be devoted to Curt's accom-plishments in making a better Cornell. Asmall fraction of his work includes his roleas a founder of the Alumni U, AlumniFund representative, area chairman, phon-athon leader (the first in the New Yorkarea), chairman of the Men's Class Pro-grams, undergraduate chairman of FroshOrientation, president of SAE. He is now av.p. of Bankers Trust. Make sure you castyour ballot, and I strongly urge you to votefor Curtis Reis.

In the area of class affairs I have beeninformed that a new policy has been made.As soon as it can be implemented, all freecopies of the ALUMNI NEWS which havegone to class members in the past for onereason or another will be discontinued. Inthe future, only those '62 members who paytheir class dues will receive a subscriptionto this magazine. This policy has been madeby our class-elected officials and it has beenmade after consideration of the conse-quences of the past policy. Further informa-tion about this matter will be presented inthis column in later issues.

General news is slim with the followingtwo exceptions. Army Capt. Peteris Pulstscompleted an ordnance officers advancedcourse at the US Army School in Aberdeen.

The Jan. 16 Ithaca Journal provided mewith a story about Byron G. McCalmonwho was named director of Student Infor-mation Systems in the Office of the Regis-trar at Cornell. He is responsible for de-signing, implementing, and operating a newsystem for handling information needsabout students for the various administra-tive offices on campus. He is quite capablein his dealing with Cornell, and should be,because of his long experience in Ithacaand his previous work in the university ad-ministration. Undergraduate, graduate stu-dent (EDM), assistant alumni secretary, andassistant director of financial aid, Byron willcontinue to serve Cornell as he has in thepast. Cornell is quite fortunate to have anindividual with Byron's background work-ing in this important area of Cornell's fu-ture.

Many of you have written in asking,"what effect did the spring disorders haveon Cornell?" An article in the New YorkTimes, dated Feb. 16, furnished many of theanswers to your questions and I'd like toprint some excerpts from it. "Cornell Uni-versity alumni, foundations, corporationsand private individuals contributed moremoney from July 1, 1969, to Jan. 20 1970,than for the corresponding period in theprevious year despite last spring's disorders.

"However, the number of applications foradmission from prospective freshmen re-ceived through last February 2 declinedfrom 11,932 for the previous year to 11,-218. Higher cost of education, reaction ofparents to last April's troubles, the confusedopinions of the public about the meaning ofthe troubles and finally the fact that twoother Ivy League universities, Princetonand Yale, have become coeducational in-stitutions were all cited by Vice PresidentSteven Muller as possible reasons for thedecline."

Finally the last interesting fact was this:"More individual alumni sent contributionsto the university than in the previous year.The fears that many alumni would turntheir backs on the university as a result ofthe troubles did not happen." Can anyone

explain this phenomenon? All answers willbe published.

The other day I received a Thermofaxedform-letter requesting endorsement of a late-fifties alumnus for Trustee. In all honesty Icannot issue such support, for while he maybe a "well-qualified younger person," he isnot representative of our class. In fact, thosealumni of 10 or 15 years ago—products ofan environment totally different from ours-—have in many cases exhibited more rigid-ity and hypocrisy than someone much older.The Class of '67 and the younger classesmust rally around our own candidate (thatis, if nominations were truly open) ratherthan compromise ourselves on someone whois "young" in name only.

Writing this column affords one thekind of experience that is salable to anynewspaper in the country; that is, to theobituary editor. I am still trying to makenews out of those one-liners—dry as death—you scribbled on the dues responses. Wasliteracy a requirement for graduation inthe Class of '67?
