Cornell Alumni NewsVOLUME 60, NUMBER 18 JUNE 15, 1958

Students Protest University RelationsPresident Promises Conference GroupNEWSPAPERS over the country publishedreports and pictures of student demon-strations at the University, May 23 & 24.Here are the facts:

An estimated 600 to 800 students gath-ered in front of Day Hall Friday morn-ing, May 23. Some carried placards withslogans such as "Students Protest—"You've Nothing to Lose But Silence,""No Ban," "We Protest Tuition WithoutRepresentation." They chanted sloganssuch as "We Want Deane Malott" and"Tommyrot, Deane Malott," yelled, andbooed for about fifteen minutes, thenwent to the Quadrangle and shortly,back to Day Hall, where they sang the"Alma Mater" and "We Want to GoBack to the Old Days."

The crowd appeared good naturedand many seemed to be those who hadstopped by to see the fun. Apparentleader was J. Kirk Sale '58 of Ithaca,who has been editor of The Sun thisyear. Dean of Men Frank C. Baldwin '22spoke to the group from the steps of DayHall, and a dozen eggs were thrown atthe building and spattered him. Thisseemed to sober the demonstrators andSale and others dispersed them to theirclasses and told them to "protest indi-vidually." Several students apologized toBaldwin and expressed regret at the egg-throwing.

Torchlights at SageThat evening, starting at 11:30, about

1000 students, men and women, gath-ered in front of Sage College for a fur-ther protest meeting, where co-eds wereurged to stay out after the 12:30 a.m.closing to show their dissatisfaction withthe rules for social conduct. Some of thestudents carried flares and it was a noisycrowd. Officers of the Student Counciland Women's Self Government Associa-tion tried to tell the crowd that they hadmet with University officials after themorning rally and that there might not

be further restrictions on co-eds visitingmen's apartments. But they were shouteddown and the crowd would listen onlyto Sale. He said, "You're here tonightnot only to protest the [apartment] ban,but to protest the administration." Thecrowd cheered and booed when he askedif they liked University action to banalcoholic beverages at football gamesand to tighten the rules governing house-parties, and took up a chant, "We wanta new President." Some women studentsdid not return to their dormitories at12:30, and at 12:40 a burning effigyof President Malott was hung from atree in front of Sage. Sale and others beatout the flames and took it down, andthey tried to persuade the crowd not togo to the President's home in CayugaHeights.

Crowd Goes to President's HouseAt about 1 a.m., however, some 500

demonstrators went to President Ma-lott's home on Oak Hill Road, a mileaway. They set off a smoke bomb andyelled and shouted for the President'sresignation. President Malott spoke tothem from his front steps, saying thatthe University would not be swayed by"mob rule," and eggs were thrown fromthe crowd and a small window wasbroken by a stone. John L. Collyer '17,chairman of the University Board ofTrustees, and Mrs. Collyer were houseguests at the Malotts', having come topresent the Collyer Boathouse that day.

At noon Saturday, Dean Baldwin an-nounced that four students charged withleading the disturbances were tempo-rarily suspended from the University,and that they and others involved wouldbe required to appear before the Men'sJudiciary Board of the Student Council,which would make recommendations tothe University Student Conduct Com-mittee as to disciplinary action. The fournamed were Sale, Richard G. Farina

'59 of Brooklyn, Robert M. Perry '59 ofBay Harbor, Fla., and David W. Seidler'59 of Great Neck. Later it was an-nounced that Peter W. Wheelwright '61of Boston, Mass, had also been sus-pended.

Students Explain ProtestsMonday's Sun, May 26, carried a Sat-

urday statement by Sale that he said was"to make clear the reasons for our pro-test against the University administra-tion." The same issue of The Sun re-ported that a special meeting of theStudent Council Sunday, while "deplor-ing the 'regrettable incidents whichmarred the otherwise orderly recentdemonstrations'," had termed them 'ex-pressions of valid grievances against theadministration' and that "The Councilprotested both the procedural and sub-stantive methods by which the adminis-tration had disregarded student opinion.'The lack of faith in the students' abilityto distinguish between acceptable andunacceptable behavior' was a majorfactor behind the Council action," theSun said. Sale's statement said:

We feel that the administration, duringthe past eight years, has consistently hamp-ered the rights of both the students and theFaculty, and has sought to impose improperadministrative standards upon the educationalarea. We feel that students and Faculty havelegitimate areas of concern, especially in theeducational and personal lives of both groups,and that the administration must not imposeits will in these areas and should not takeaction without due consideration with themembers of these groups.

The administration of Cornell has so oftenignored the student's voice and so regularlyrefused to establish any channels of efficientcommunication that a public demonstrationwas our only recourse. The demonstrationsseemed to the students to be the single waythey had left to communicate to the admin-istration.

Specifically we protest: (1) the 1955 actionof the Board of Trustees in taking control ofthe Faculty Committees on Student Conductand Student Activities and giving this controlto the President. (2) The 1957 action in im-posing an alcohol ban on Schoellkopf stadiumwithout first listening to student opinion. (3)The 1957 action of the President's Committeeon Student Activities in refusing to listen tothe student views and imposing a social moralcode on the student body. (4) The 1958action of this same committee in considering

621

a ban on all unchaperoned apartment partiesand its statement concerning this.

In short, we protest the entire attitude ofthe Cornell administration over the last eightyears in its attempt to limit the student voice,to limit Faculty powers, and to imposestandards of morality and social behavior onthe students. An administration that actshastily and peremptorily, that attempts tolegislate means and not ends, that does notdesire to listen to responsible student voices,is bound eventually to cause dissatisfaction.Yesterday, this almost universal dissatisfac-tion could no longer be contained, and thestudents acted in essentially an orderly, ma-ture fashion to indicate their legitimate posi-tion. This must always be the right of allstudents.

I wish to apologize on behalf of the entirestudent body for the minor, but unfortunate,displays of violence. The students initiatedthe action in an orderly and peaceful fashion,and the minor displays of violence wereneither intended nor approved in any wayby the students at large.

Sun Editor Comments

David A. Engel '59 of Weehawken,N.J. is now editor of The Sun. His edi-torial page, May 26, said, in part:

The remarkable demonstrations of Fridaysmacked strongly and unpleasantly of venge-ance. Although the avowed aim of the leadersof the mass actions was to "protest the entireattitude of the Cornell administration overthe last eight years in its attempt to limit thestudent voice, to limit Faculty powers, and toimpose standards of morality and social be-havior on the students," this aspect was totallysubmerged in the confusion. The way in whichthe protests were staged, and the invitations tonational publicity which were made, reflectedthe intentions of some of the leaders more toget even with the University for what they feltwere injustices than to work effectively to pre-vent others.

It is hard to say exactly what the motives ofmost of those taking part in the protests were.The predominant impression, however, wasthat most of the crowd thought it was showingits strength in protest of a possible unfavor-able ruling on apartment parties. The effectof the demonstrations will probably be moreharmful than salutary in this respect. . . .this student mass action, far from demonstrat-ing to the President genuine and responsibleconcern for problems which affect them, maywell produce in him resentment and suspicion.As far as the Activities Committee is con-cerned, its members had, before Friday, begunto be impressed with cogent student argumentagainst the feared ban on apartment parties.There is even some evidence that after thegenerally peaceful rally on Friday morningthey were more impressed than ever with thedepth of student feeling. But it is sure thatafter the events of Friday night, their con-fidence in the ability of students to act wiselywas shaken, and their attitudes hardened.

The combination of spring and approach-ing finals was greatly responsible for the sizeof the mass meetings. It is a fact that many ofthe students who came out to cheer, hiss, andscream did so from a warm weather desire tolet off some steam. For them it could as wellhave been a panty raid or a march downtownto overturn buses and cars. It was to be ex-pected, with so many feeling this way, thatpeaceful assembly would turn into a mobscene.

Four of the leaders of the demonstrations,suspended temporarily by the University, tookno direct part in the action in front of thePresident's house. Quite to the contrary, theytried to prevent the mass of students from do-ing something they might have been sorry forlater. This, however, does not absolve themfrom all responsibility for what took place

622

later; they called the original meeting, and aslong as there was some reason to believe,which there was, that the protest meeting infront of Sage would lead to something uncon-trolled, they should bear some burden of re-sponsibility. Expulsion of the students, ofcourse, would be unjust. But the suspensionshould be viewed more as a preventive than apunitive action; if the University had reasonto believe more uncontrolled actions wouldoccur if they were on Campus for one or twodays, they were entitled to act accordingly.

There is no reason to disapprove the rightof students peacefully to assemble in protest.Under the circumstances Friday, however, thedemonstrations did more harm than good. Ifthe students felt the demonstrations were theonly means they had to communicate effec-tively with the Activities Committee and theadministration in this case, perhaps a reviewof relations between these groups and the stu-dent body is desperately in order.

President Malott received a publicapology "on behalf of the student body"from the president of the Student Coun-cil, K. Peter Kellogg '59, "for the deplor-able incidents resulting from the demon-strations . . . which resulted in damageto property, your personal dignity, andthe good name of the University." Thesuspended students personally apolo-gized to the President for the incidentsof violence that occurred and for per-sonal affronts to him and his houseguests. Others who had taken part in thedisturbances called on the UniversityProctor to express regrets and volunteerto appear before the Men's JudiciaryBoard.

Presidents Invites Conferences

Tuesday morning, May 27, The Sunpublished the following statement fromPresident Malott, addressed "To theCornell Students":

The events of the last few days have beenas disturbing to me as to many of you. In thecourse of these events, a very few of you tookaction that exceeded the bounds of decencyand order. These will be dealt with by the au-thorities to whom responsibility for disciplinehas been delegated.

But of particular concern to me is the evi-dence of lack of understanding which existsof the objectives of the University, of what itstands for, and of how we may all work to-gether that each may get the most from his orher years at Cornell. It was actually tostrengthen this communication that the newoffice of Vice President of Student Affairs wasestablished and will be functioning next yearto be sure that your points of view are thor-oughly heard, and that you in turn may knowclearly and with frankness the point of viewof the administration of the University.

If, at this time, any student leader or groupof leaders would like to confer with me aboutany problems or plans, I shall be happy tomeet with them.

In the meantime, the Student Councilmet again; a group that called itself theCommittee on Student Rights designat-ed seven of its members to meet with thePresident another, designated the Com-mittee on Public Safety, prepared astatement explaining the student protestsfor students to mail to their friends andhome-town newspapers; and many stu-dents wore black paper arm-bands when

a sign appeared in Willard StraightHall: "If you are against arbitrary ad-ministration and for meaningful self-government, wear black as a passiveprotest."

May 28, President Malott met in hisoffice for two and a half hours with Kel-logg, president of the Student Council,Richard M. Ehrlich '59, president of theInterfraternity Council, and ElizabethD. Guthrie '59, president of WSGA.The next morning, The Sun carried thisstatement from these three students:

In our meeting with the President today,our efforts were directed toward the follow-ing:

1. An explanation to the President of thedeep frustration and unrest within the studentbody due to a lack of a consideration of stu-dent desires in issues which vitally concerntheir welfare.

2. Attempts to reach agreement on the bestmethods of implementing a more cooperativeand understanding attitude on the part of theadministration.

It seemed evident that the President wasmade more fully aware of the necessity of tak-ing cognizance of student opinion beforeunilateral action by the administration. Asrecognized by both parties, communicationsbetween the student body and the adminis-tration must be improved before any funda-mental changes can be instituted. Mr. Malottfrankly looks to Dr. Summerskill as a new liai-son between the two groups and hopes thenewly created position will provide the neces-sary linkage.

Furthermore, we have been assured of ade-quate attention given to student opinion inthe way of positive action early next fall. It issincerely hoped that we have established thepersonal contact necessary to make our futureendeavors meaningful to both the studentsand to the Cornell community.

To Foster Better Understanding

Another statement from PresidentMalott "To the Cornell Students" ap-peared in The Sun, May 29. It said:

As a result of my invitation for students tomeet with me, I have had a number of dis-cussions with various students and studentgroups. I have had a long and constructiveconference with the president of the StudentCouncil, the president of the IFC, and thepresident of WSGA. It is evident that there isa considerable amount of misinformation andmisunderstanding about the University, aboutits administration, and about the points ofview which students desire to express. Clearlyindicated is the necessity for better under-standing and better communication. We areall working for essentially the same objectives.

To further the appropriate interchange ofopinions and information between studentsand the administration, I am asking the newlyappointed Vice President for Student Affairsto create an advisory committee of representa-tive students, to assure a constant and freeflow of opinion and understanding betweenthe administration and the students and theirorganizations of student government. In thisway, I hope we shall be able to work togetherto bring to harmonious resolution the manyproblems which from time to time require theutmost cooperation of the various segmentsof the University, and in which we shall ex-pect the students to be fully heard.

In an all-night session, May 27-28, theMen's Judiciary Board of eight under-graduates held hearings for seventeenstudents who had been involved in thedemonstrations. This Board is elected by

Cornell Alumni News

the Student Council and has been giveninitial jurisdiction by the University topass on virtually all cases of student dis-cipline, subject to review by the StudentConduct Committee. The Board decidedthat eight of the seventeen studentsshould be placed on parole, includingSale and Farina of those who had beensuspended; that Seidler, Wheelwright,and two others be given unofficial repri-mands (not to appear on their Univer-sity records) and that no action betaken on Perry and two other students.In addition, the Board found cause foran official reprimand to another studentand a warning to still another. With theBoard's permission, members of the Fac-ulty appeared to testify to the good char-acter of the five suspended students andProfessor Bertram F. Willcox '17, Law,was admitted as their adviser. DeanBaldwin meets with the Board, withoutvote, as its Faculty adviser.

The Women's Judiciary Board ofWSGA voted unofficial reprimands tothirty-six women students for not ob-serving the 12:30 a.m. closing hour ofthe dormitories Saturday morning.

University Committee Acts

The University Student Conduct Com-mittee took action on the seventeen menwho had been considered by the Men'sJudiciary Board in a session that lasteduntil 2:30 a.m., May 31. It confirmedthe recommendation of parole for theeight students; voted to give officialreprimands to three, including Wheel-wright; unofficial reprimands to three;and voted no action on three students,including Perry. This action by the Uni-versity committee terminated the sus-pensions. The suspended students' Fac-ulty character witnesses and ProfessorWillcox met with the Committee. Par-oled students are put under supervisionof a person designated by the Commit-tee and remain in the University subjectto good conduct, but are not allowed torepresent the University in student ac-tivities while they are on parole.

The By-laws of the University asadopted by the Board of Trustees, June13, 1955, provide that "The Presidentshall be responsible for the proper regu-lation of student conduct and the extra-curricular activities of students. He maydelegate authority in these matters tosuch Faculty committees or student com-mittees as he may determine." The Stu-dent Conduct and Student ActivitiesCommittees are composed of Facultymembers, administrators, and studentsappointed by the President. He has dele-gated his authority in these matters tothem. The Student Activities Commit-tee promulgated to take effect this terma code of "Social Events Standards" andhas been considering a revision of therules governing women students visitingmen's apartments.

von Cramm Hall—The University's first schol-arship residence hall is located on UniversityAvenue, just below Stewart Avenue, on the siteof the home of the late Charles E. Treman '89.The property was acquired by the Universityseveral years ago after the Treman home wasdestroyed by fire. Designed by Reginald E.Marsh '06, the house is named for BaronFriedrich S. von Cramm, who was killed in1941 while serving in the German Army. Thegift of $300,000 for a student scholarship hallcame to the University through Thomas B. Gil-christ '06, administrator of the estate of vonCramm's mother, Baroness Elisabeth von El-verfeldt, who was a native of Brooklyn.

Cornell's First Scholarship Hall: One Year OldTWENTY-EIGHT undergraduate men are completing theirfirst year as residents and managers of von Cramm Hall, theUniversity's first scholarship living unit. These men, selectedlast year by the Dean's Office to be the first residents, arenow drawing up a constitution based on their unique experi-ence. After learning by a process of trial and error, the groupis codifying for future members basic rules embodying whatthey have learned is necessary for the successful translation ofthe theory of group living into daily reality.

These men, who did not know each other before theirarrival at von Cramm, have set up a smooth system for pre-paring all meals, caring for the house and grounds, and spon-soring monthly social activities. The men are all full-timestudents, and at least two members are enrolled in everySchool or College at the University, with the exception ofHome Economics.

They are indeed responsible for their own welfare. Electedofficers assign committee work, although all decisions aremade in house meetings, which are chaired by differentmembers in turn. Every man has a term's housekeepingassignment that requires about an hour's work a week onsome common living area, in addition to his weekly tour ofK.P. and the care of his own room. Special group projectsrequire ten hours of work a term. With the permission of thelocal fire department and the help of their fraternity neigh-bors, the men staged a grand burn-off of the sloping land

behind the house, where a neighborhood toboggan run wasbuilt. A ball field is the next project.

Like a fraternity, von Cramm Hall offers a full scheduleof social activities. This year members have given parties,dances, and a Faculty tea. Plans for next year include weeklysmokers which will feature talks by Faculty members.

An undergraduate man with a cumulative average of 75after two terms may apply to the Dean's Office for admis-sion to von Cramm. Because the house is a complete livingand social center for its members, fraternity men are noteligible. Applicants, screened first by the Dean's Office foracademic and financial eligibility, were entertained andinterviewed by the residents, who made the final selections.All but two of this year's members are returning next yearand five new members will be added.

Men pay $560 a year for room and board, including ahearty breakfast and dinner every day. Members may buylunch at the house. Food for snacks and sandwiches is bought

The Woman's Touch—A gracious innovation in men's living units atCornell is the presence of a housemother who supervises the manydetails that go into the running of a cooperative housing unit. VonCramm's housemother, Mrs. Burdette K. Northrop (Mary Thatcher)'24, is shown chatting with, from left, Oskar G. Rogg '59, ME, ofBridgeport, Conn., who was first president of von Cramm Hall in1957-58, and Russell C. Forbes '59, Agr, of Copenhagen, N.Y., whowas recently elected president for 1958-59. Mrs. Northrop is thewidow of Professor Burdette K. Northrop '18, Electrical Engineering,who died last October.

by the house and sold to the members at cost. It is estimatedthat men save $200 or $300 each year by living at vonCramm.

The committee advising von Cramm Hall is composed ofDean of Men Frank C. Baldwin '22; Professor Howard S.Tyler, PhD '38, Personnel Administration in Agriculture;Milton R. Shaw '34, Director of Residential Halls; EdgarA. Whiting '29, Associate Director of Willard Straight Hall;and J. Duncan Sells '49, Director of the University's Officeof Financial Aid, who is Faculty adviser to the group.

Men Benefit from Varied Experience—Residents of von CrammHall value the fact that the original plans for the group calledfor widely diversified membership. The twenty-eight studentshail from fourteen States and represent every College and Schoolon the Campus except Home Economics. At left, William J.Krossner '60, ChemE, of Arlington, Va., Julius B. Twyne, Jr.'58, Arch, of Blackshear, Ga., and Oskar G. Rogg relax in theliving room with its beautiful view of the valley.

School Work Goes On—Students living at von Cramm during thelast year carried the double burden of pioneering in cooperativeliving while maintaining their averages at scholarship level. Be-low, Robert D. Hansen '60, Hotel, of Alcester, S.D., and JamesR. Covert '58, Agr, of Lodi, study together. Single or doublestudy rooms are drawn by lot, with Seniors having first choice.

Tomorrow's Cooks Eat Well—Members eat twice a day in von Cramm's sunnydining room. The kitchen is run cooperatively, with every man taking a turn aswaiter, washer-up, or assistant cook, rising to the rank of cook once each month.Arranging kitchen duty so that it does not conflict with class work is a term's jobfor one man. Members have learned that cooking is an art, and Hotel studentswith special aptitude tend to draw guest-night duty. Meals are planned by thehousemother, who oversees the cooking. This year's steward, who orders all foodand keeps accounts, has been re-elected on merit for next year.

By Leroy R. Grumman '16

On June 30, 1958, my five-year term asAlumni Trustee of Cornell University will becompleted. The By-Laws of the Alumni Asso-ciation require a report to the alumni at thecompletion of the term. The annual reportsof the President of the University and of theTreasurer will give a much more completeand accurate story of Cornell University andits activities. I will try, however, to statebriefly, a few impressions of the Universitygained during this period.

Before becoming a Trustee, I did not realizethe scope of activities that is included in Cor-nell University today. We think of the en-dowed Colleges on the Campus and the State-supported Colleges at Ithaca, both of whichhave grown considerably in the last few years.We are likely to forget about the CornellMedical College in New York City, which isassociated with The New York Hospital.Cornell's operations also include the Agricul-tural Experiment Station at Geneva and theCornell Aeronautical Laboratory at Buffalo.In addition to these, there are a great varietyof auxiliary enterprises and service facilitiesoperated in connection with the University.The running of heat, power, and electricplants, a hospital, a hotel, a radio station, abook and department store, and restaurantsserving thousands of meals daily are all in themanagement of the University.

Although a university is not a business, assuch, its operation might be compared to thatof a fairly large corporation, with: annual salesof approximately $50,000,000, and it requirescapable business management. This need issupplied by President Malott and his staff,which includes Vice-president T. P. Wright,in charge of research, Vice-president John

626

Burton, in charge of business, Vice-presidentJames L. Zwingle, in charge of Universitydevelopment, Treasurer Lewis H. Durland,and other administrative officers. The opera-tion of the University was recently reviewedby a management consultant firm with broadknowledge of the problems of other univer-sities, and the benefit of their experience wasmade available to Cornell.

The real purpose of a university is educa-tion, and this involves, basically, only thestudents and the faculty. In the final analysis,the standing of the University, as comparedto others, depends upon the quality and abilityof its Faculty, and it is the responsibility ofthe Board of Trustees and the administrationto see that this is maintained. During the yearsof inflation that our country has experienced,the salaries of the teaching profession havenot kept pace with increases of compensationin other fields. Faculty salaries, in spite of ourefforts, are still notoriously lower than those inequivalent positions in the business world. Ithas been the aim of the Board of Trustees andthe University administration to reduce thisdifferential, either directly or by providingother advantages in being on our Campus,such as opportunities for conducting research,continuing studies, educational advantage tothe family, etc.

Research Covers Wide RangeAlthough we think of a university primarily

in connection with the teaching of students,the presence on a campus of people with in-quiring minds and the ability to think, to-gether with laboratories for teaching and ex-perimenting, makes research a sort of naturalby-product. Many corporations make grantsto the various Colleges for a research study ofparticular interest to their business. The va-riety of subjects for research at Cornell isextensive, ranging from cattle breeding toorbitting of satellites. All research at Cornellis coordinated under Vice-president T. P.Wright, and is of great value to the Univer-sity : it provides much needed financial assist-ance, it offers an opportunity for Facultymembers to keep in touch with problems ofthe business world, and it has the possibilityof adding considerably to the prestige of theUniversity.

Following the launching of the Soviet satel-lite last fall, a wave of near-hysteria swept purcountry. Certain of our government, leadersbegan to express doubts of American methods,including our American system of education.It was claimed (and I have no reason to doubtits truth) that Russia is training twice as manyengineers as we are, and that in Russia, lackof money does not bar bright youngsters fromhigher education. To provide higher educa-tion to bright students, regardless of theirfinancial means, is a goal we should worktoward; and I believe that progress is beingmade in increased number of scholarships,student loan funds, and other aids. (Manyboys without funds but with a willingness to

work have managed to graduate from Cor-nell. ) As for the number of engineers, qualityis much to be preferred to quantity, in myopinion. As the great inventor, Charles Ket-tering, often said: "When you want to hatchan egg, one hen can do it as quickly as fifty."

While on the subject of Engineering, Ishould call attention to what is probably themost spectacular change in recent years atCornell University: the amazing progress ofthe new Engineering Quadrangle on the southend of the Campus. It was conceived years agoby S. C. Hollister, our Dean of Engineering,and he has consistently and effectively workedon this project, which today is nearing com-pletion. This central group of Engineeringbuildings, including Olin Hall, Kimball &Thurston Halls, Phillips Hall, Carpenter Hall,Upson Hall, and other buildings, already pro-vide modern and up-to-date facilities for thestudy of various branches of engineering atCornell.

Women's Sports Lack FacilitiesPhysical education and athletics are impor-

tant parts of University activities, and Cornellcan today be proud of its athletic facilities formen. Although the Old Armory and "Gym"are gone, Teagle Hall, Schoellkopf Field,Barton Hall (the State Armory, but muchused for basketball and indoor track meets),Bacon Cage, Hoy and Alumni Fields, LynahHall (indoor skating rink), Moakley House,Collyer Boat House, tennis courts, and squashcourts provide facilities for practically allsports. If our football team didn't win all theirgames last year, perhaps our alumni can per-suade some bright boys (with football experi-ence) to come to Cornell next year. When thesubject of football comes up, we can at leastproudly change the subject to rowing. (I thinkthat all alumni should know that a smallgroup of alumni headed by Trustee FloydNewman '12 made it financially possible forour victorious crew to go to England lastsummer.)

Now that the Old Armory (recently usedfor women's sports) is gone, there is a criticalneed at Cornell (as the co-ed members of theBoard of Trustees continually remind us) fora Women's Athletic Building.

In spite of inflation and the resulting in-crease in tuition rates, a college education isstill today one of the best bargains I know of,as the cost of education per student is nearlytwice the tuition paid. The balance of thesecosts must each year be made up from othersources. The traditional source of income fromendowment funds, under continuing inflation,has not kept pace with cost increases. Othersources of income are needed, and excellentwork has been done by the Alumni Associa-tion, the University Council, Cornell Associ-ates, Cornell Clubs, individual alumni andothers, in providing unrestricted funds.

Corporation executives are becoming in-creasingly aware of the educational problemof endowed colleges. As employers of largenumbers of college graduates in executive,legal, engineering, and other capacities, cor-porations should, in fact, help bear the ex-pense of educating their future employees.Cornell University Associates was organizedseveral years ago to promote this interest.Today more than 150 corporations (includingsome of the largest companies in the UnitedStates) are members of the Cornell Univer-sity Associates and contribute annually. Be-sides the dues, many make extra gifts, grants,and set up research funds. Here again, aidfrom Cornell alumni is much in evidence, asmany Cornell graduates hold responsible po-sitions in most of these companies.

Most youngsters select their college becausethey know and admire someone who has at-tended and graduated from that school. EveryCornell alumnus, therefore, becomes a sortof yardstick by which the preeminence of theUniversity is measured. By letting prospectivestudents know of the opportunities offered at

Cornell Alumni News

Cornell, every Cornellian can help the Uni-versity. The work done by all alumni groups,such as the alumni organizations, UniversityCouncil, Cornell Associates, and CornellClubs all over the world is invaluable, bothin recruiting and fund raising. Without thisalumni interest and support, I do not see howthe endowed Colleges of the University couldmaintain their excellence or even continue toexist.

I wish to thank the alumni of Cornell forgiving me the opportunity to represent themduring the last five years on the Board ofTrustees, and to learn more about the Uni-versity. It has been a pleasure to have beenmore closely associated with the membersof the Board, administration, Faculty, andmany other Cornellians.

By Jacob Gould Schurman '17

This marks the end of my second term as anAlumni Trustee.

During the last five years, there have beenmany developments at Cornell. Outstanding,of course, have been the fund raising activitiesof the administration and of the Trustees.Efforts in this direction have been crownedwith success, and many new buildings are inevidence on the Campus.

However, there is one development whichcannot be seen and yet it is so important thatit merits separate and exclusive mention.I refer to the program whereby it is antici-pated that Faculty salaries will be increasedand equalized with those of universities of likestanding. A good start has been made in ful-filling this objective and funds are constantlysolicited to benefit Faculty salaries. The re-sponse is encouraging.

Nothing is more important to Cornell, forno university can rise higher than her faculty.Cornell has a splendid Faculty, but this veryfact leads other universities to invite Facultymembers to leave Cornell and to join them.The only way to overcome this threat is toinsure to the Cornell Faculty an income thatis commensurate with their position. Cornellis blessed with an atmosphere of intellectualfreedom that makes it a popular Universityat which to teach. Nor do men or women leaveits staff willingly. But there are sacrifices thatcannot be borne when opportunity offers ateacher a position that is far better paid atanother university. By increasing salaries inthe privately endowed Colleges, the Facultymember is permitted to follow his own pref-erences and to stay at Cornell.

As I understand it, the aim of the adminis-tration and of the Trustees is to give eachFaculty member a genuine opportunity tomake a free choice. All of us must wish themwell in this endeavor. Let us remember, also,

June 15, 1958

that each of us can help Faculty salaries byannual giving.

In conclusion, let me thank those who madeit possible for me to serve for ten years onthe Cornell Board of Trustees. It was ahappy and rewarding experience.

President Reviews ROTCABOUT 3000 CADETS of the Army, Navy,and Air Force ROTC units were re-viewed, May 22, by President Deane W.Malott and his official party, which in-cluded the commanding officers of thethree military units, other University of-ficials and representatives from variouspatriotic organizations. Because of in-clement weather, the Presidential Re-view was in Barton Hall this year. Afterthe cadets had passed in review undercommand of Midshipman Captain JackD. McFadden '58 of Glendale, Gal.,awards were presented to students inrecognition of their military aptitudes.

Theodore A. Wilson '57 of Elgin, 111.was awarded the Cornell AeronauticalLaboratory Fellowship, given each yearto an outstanding ROTC student whohas qualified for a commission, for grad-uate study in one of the University's En-gineering or scientific divisions. A can-didate for the Bachelor of EngineeringPhysics degree this June, Wilson willenter the Graduate School of Aeronau-tical Engineering next fall.

ROTC Summer Training

TOTAL of 333 prospective officers in theUniversity's Army, Navy, and Air ForceROTC units will spend part of the sum-mer training at sea or at military basesthroughout the country.

For six weeks, from June 21 to AugustI, 181 Juniors in the advanced ArmyROTC course will be at Fort Bragg,N.C., with other students from collegesand universities in the East. There theywill be trained in general military sci-ence and leadership and be evaluated bymembers of the regular Army. John F.McManus '36, Assistant Dean of Engi-neering, will visit Fort Bragg, July 10 &I1, as the official guest of the Army.

Intramural Sports in 1957-58

You'll Find Your Game Here!BY GORDON SCOTT LITTLE, Director of Intramural Athletics

Touch Football on Upper Alumni—Ten playing fields are often all busy at once on fineafternoons of October and November for the absorbing business of intramural touch foot-ball games. Last fall, 100 teams played 261 games in the eighteen leagues to decide thechampionship, won by Sigma Nu. Dameron, Photo Science

I F YOU ARE a protagonist of parchesi oran advocate of aerial darts, you will notfind your favorite sport within our pro-gram of organized intramural athletics.However, if you are satisfied with run-of-the-mine sports like badminton, bas-k e t b a l l , b i l l a r d s , boxing, bowlingbroomstick polo, cross country, fencing,golf, hockey, horseshoes, skiing, softball,squash rackets, swimming, table tennis,tennis, touch football, track & field, vol-leyball, weight lifting, and wrestling, youwill find your game in our program. Fur-thermore, you can play that game, eitherin round-robin league play or in straightelimination tournaments, with otheraficionados.

Of course, you will find more companyplaying the big three: basketball, soft-ball, and touch football. This year, morethan 2000 boys played each of thesegames in our intramural program. Andlest you become concerned about ourneglecting the carry-on sports, we hastento add that 750 boys participated inbowling. In fact, as a climax to our reg-ular season of 233 shoulder-to-shouldermatches, we rolled off a within-the-wallsmail-match with forty-two other collegeand university teams. We did not coverourselves with glory here, as we ended uptwenty-seventh in the team scores, butwe had a lot of fun!

June 15, 1958

Sometimes it becomes a questionwhere intramural sports end and inter-collegiate sports begin. For instance, wehave been sending an intramural volley-ball team to the annual Stan BownTournament in nearby Binghamton.This year we took the gold cup in theclass B tournament (class B denoting col-leges not fielding intercollegiate teams inthis sport). John R. West, MEd '55, in-structor in Physical Education, coachedthe champs.

New Sports Bring More Players

Sports recently added are broomstickpolo, indoor ice hockey (in recently com-pleted Lynah Hall), and weight lifting.Broomstick polo was started two seasonsago and has become very popular. Infact, it rates as a spectator sport. Hockeyand weight lifting were added this year.Ten thousand, six hundred and nine boys(including duplications), c o m p r i s i n g674 teams, in 73 leagues participated in1942 formally scheduled contests thisseason.

The annual scramble for the AllSports Trophy was a wide open affairthis season. Six contenders of champion-ship caliber have emerged from the fra-ternities. Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu, SigmaPhi Epsilon, Delta Upsilon, Sigma AlphaEpsilon, and Psi Upsilon have all dem-

onstrated scoring punch in several sports.At this writing, Sigma Chi is leadingSigma Nu by the narrow margin of ιhpoint; but Sigma Chi is a contender inthe finals of both softball and horseshoes,while Sigma Nu has been knocked outof both. Therefore it is a foregone con-clusion that Sigma Chi will repeat theirtriumph of 1936-37 and run off with theTrophy for the fraternity championship.

Fulfilling the promise they snowed asSophomores, the Dickson Dynamos areleading the race for the championshipamong independent teams. They havepicked up points in touch football, bas-ketball, volleyball, and horseshoes. TheSixty-niners from Dorm 6 will have theirname engraved on the plaque emblem-atic of the Freshman dormitories cham-pionship.

Team championships in the varioussports were well distributed this year.The fifteen winners are Sigma Nu, intouch football (100 teams) Alpha DeltaPhi, broomstick polo (44) Sigma AlphaEpsilon, cross country (16) Kibos, bas-ketball (127) DLA Veterans, bowling(64) Phi Gamma Delta & Les Cana-diens (no playoff), hockey (18); PsiUpsilon, volleyball (66) Delta Upsilon,track (32) Kappa Delta Rho, badmin-ton (31) Alpha Gamma Rho5 boxing(8) Sigma Chi, wrestling (23) SigmaPhi Epsilon, swimming (24) Alpha Psi,horseshoes (27) Outcasts, softball (94teams).

An Early Study of AirBY RHODA RAPPAPORT, Grad, History of Science

I T IS g e n e r a l l yknown that the doc-trine that air is ac h e m i c a l constit-uent of matter wasestablished by theEnglish plant physi-

ologist Stephen Hales in his VegetableStaticks (1727). After the French trans-lation of Hales appeared in 1735, thedoctrine of air's role as an element wasadopted and promulgated in France andaccepted by Lavoisier in his early workin chemistry. Also adopted and im-proved upon by French chemists wasHales' pneumatic trough, an apparatusfor the collection of air evolved in chemi-cal reactions.

Until 1775, few (if any^ Frenchchemists realized that the chemical prop-erty of air had already been discussed byJean Rey in his Essays (1630), and thata pneumatic trough had been devised byP. Moitrel d'Element, La Maniere derendre Γair visible et assez sensible(1719). The work of Rey and Moitrelremained unknown and without appar-ent influence until rediscovered by thechemist Pierre Bayen and published in asingle volume in 1777. Since it was theindependent work of Hales which wastransmitted to subsequent generations ofchemists, Rey and Moitrel must be rele-gated to the thankless status of precur-sors who were outside the main currentsin the history of chemistry.

Pioneer is Little KnownWhile Rey's writings are still known

to historians of chemistry, Moitrel's havebeen less fortunate. None of the threemodest works published by Moitrel, cop-ies of which exist in the Bibliotheque Na-tionale, is listed in catalogues devoted tocollections in the history of chemistry;nor do the great national libraries ofEngland and this country possess any ofMoitreΓs publications. The Cornell Uni-versity Library has recently acquired oneof these rare works, a pamphlet entitled,La Maniere de rendre Γair visible et as-sez sensible . . . Et quelques-autres ex-periences de Physique sur la nature deΓAir. Inventees par P. M. dyElement, In-genieur, dediees aux dames. (Paris,1719).

So little is known about Moitrel thathe is not even included in the remark-ably complete French national biograph-ical dictionaries. Ferdinand Hoefer'sHistoire de la chimie provides scant bio-graphical information, presumably tak-en from the 1777 annotateoV reprint ofthis pamphlet of 1719. P. Moitrel d'Ele-ment (his first name and exact dates areunknown) was a physicien, a term nowtranslated "physicist," but in his own era

630

perhaps best rendered by "physical sci-entist." By 1719, he was earning a pre-carious living by tutoring and perform-ing experiments for audiences gatheredat his home in Paris and in the salons ofhis few patrons. That his courses anddemonstrations were not sufficiently pop-ular to provide a reasonable income isapparent from Hoefer's statement thata well-to-do friend finally took pity onMoitreΓs poverty and, sometime after1725, brought the struggling scientist toAmerica where he later died. Again ac-cording to Hoefer, Moitrel was ignoredand even thought a mad visionary by"academiciens/3 which would imply thathe tried in vain to present his work to theParis Academy of Sciences. Moitrel him-self testifies to his lack of success in dedi-cating his little publication to the ladiesin whose salons his experiments arousedat least a polite interest.

Describes Graphic Experiments

The six brief and well described ex-periments in La Maniere de rendre Γairvisible classify their author as a physicalscientist rather than a chemist. Althoughhe states that air is one of the four ele-mentary constituents of all substances,Moitrel is not at all concerned withchemical reactions throughout the re-mainder of the work. He simply tries toshow that air is a material substance, anelastic, transparent fluid which can becollected in bottles and jars. Four experi-ments are, therefore, devoted to "render-ing air visible" to demonstrate its mate-rial nature, and the remaining two ex-periments show how air may be collectedand its volume measured. I shall discusshere three of MoitreΓs charmingly sim-ple and singularly graphic experiments,which establish the objects outlinedabove.

The first experiment is designed "toshow that Air is a material substance,and that that substance is liquid andtransparent." Using a glass vessel rough-ly in the shape of an hourglass, but withits middle portion consisting of two slen-der tubes rather than the usual one,Moitrel fills the lower half of the vesselwith water and seals off the upper half,which he will show to contain air. Sincewater is heavier than air, the two sub-stances will not mix until the vessel isturned upside down. This done, bubblesof air are seen to rise up through the fall-ing water and soon water is once morein the lower part of the vessel and air inthe upper. .Three conclusions may bedrawn from this demonstration: (1) airhas been shown to occupy space and is,therefore, material; (2) particles of airbehave just like those of a liquid— di-viding, uniting, and flowing; and (3)

air, which may be compared visuallywith the water in the same vessel, is ob-viously more transparent than water.

To show that air surrounds us "as thefish are surrounded by water at the bot-tom of the seas," Moitrel performs thesimple experiment of inverting a drink-ing glass in a water-filled container. Nowater enters because the glass is alreadyfilled with the material substance air. Itis only necessary to tap the glass to see airbubbles emerge and water take theirplace.

In a third experiment, Moitrel devisesa rudimentary pneumatic trough for thecollection of air. Two glass vessels, Acontaining air and B, water, are invertedin a tank of water, vessel B being slightlyhigher in the water than vessel A. By tap-ping A so that air bubbles rise into B, Ais soon empty of air and filled with water,and B has had its water displaced by air.Moitrel has here made good use of theexperiments outlined above, by means ofwhich he knew that the air released fromA would rise through the water in B andcollect there. Knowing the capacity of Bfurther provides a way of measuring thevolume of air collected.

The simple experiments just describedare familiar, in modified form, to today'shigh school students. Similar demonstra-tions formed in part the basis of eight-eenth century theories about the natureand properties of air. Air's material na-ture was, in fact, known to the Greeksand remained part of scientific traditionfor centuries. Nevertheless, there is nodenying MoitreΓs ingenuity and origi-nality in devising and successfully exe-cuting, probably for the first time, thephysical demonstrations of the proper-ties of air.

On the Sporting Side - Bq "Sidelined

Season Nears Close

MAY brought nearly to the end a prettygood season of spring sports, up to thestart of final examinations. But therewere some disappointments.

The lacrosse team lost to Princeton,11-7, in a rousing game at Princeton,May 24, and it was its only loss. But itmeant the Ivy League championship,for both teams had unsullied League rec-ords. So Princeton kept its title and Cor-nell had the solace of its best lacrosseseason ever and its highest League rank-ing, as runner-up.

Varsity and Junior Varsity crews andthe baseball team lost to Pennsylvania atIthaca, May 24. In fact, the golf teamwas the only Varsity team to win thatday, which was not one of Cornell's bestin any respect.

Then the track team, somewhat weak-ened by those who stayed home for finalprelims and finals, found the going toorugged in the Intercollegiates at Villa-nova, May 30 & 31. Cornell placedeighth with 12 points, tied with LaSalleand Michigan State.

Surprise at Track Meet

Irvin Roberson '58 was high scorer forCornell in the ICAAAA meet, but a non-scorer, Charles H. Hill '59, was the bigsurprise. Roberson was second in the 220low hurdles to his nemesis, Joel Landauof Harvard, in 0:22.9 took fourth in thebroad jump with a leap of 24 feet 2ιAinches; and was fifth in the 100-yarddash, won by Ira Davis of La Salle. Hescored 7 of Cornell's 12 points. Theother 5 were made by John S. King '58,who was second in the high jump with 6feet 5. It was won by Phil Reavis ofVillanova, who set a new IC4A recordwith 6 feet 10 inches. David C. Eckel '58was fifth in the mile run.

Hill took fourth in a blistering heat ofthe 880, Friday, running in 1:52.7, butdid not qualify for the final. This is four-tenths of a second from the Cornell rec-ord. He was then entered in the mile run,Saturday, and was placed in the secondsection of the divided race made neces-sary because of the large field. He wonthe second section in 4:16, but placedsixth in the event based on time. The firstfive finishers were in the first sectionwhere those with top past performanceshad been placed. Hill had a powerfulfinish at this distance, which is not a fa-miliar one to him. Coach Lou Mont-gomery predicts great things for Hillnext year. "He has the potential to do4:10 right now."

Other expected Cornell entries seemedto be drained of their usual verve by theiracademic chores of the previous week.

June 15, 1958

Michael Midler '58 did not place in themile run and Nathaniel J. Cravener '59failed in the two-mile. Roger L. Garrett'58 was below his best at 50 feet in theshotput and was seventh, and Paul K.Boguski '58 was seventh in the sixteen-pound hammer with 165 feet 6 inches,12 feet less than his best.

Hill, of Jarrettown, Pa., and sprinterHarvey Weissbard '58 of Maplewood,N.J. were elected co-captains of the 1959team. John King was named winner ofthe John Gatling Award as "the Seniorwho has done most for Cornell track."Awards for the most improvement weregiven to six team members: King, Ro-berson, Cravener, Garrett, Boguski, andjavelin thrower Frank A. Wyskiel '58.Other awards were made to Albert M.Finch '60, Everett Colyer Pole VaultAward; David G. Cadiz '58, Jinky Cro-zier Quarter-Miler Award; and DavidC. Heasley '59, high hurdler, and Rober-son, low hurdles, were chosen as out-standing in the hurdles events.

Lacrosse Team Misses TitleIVY LACROSSE LEAGUE

PrincetonCornellDartmouthYaleHarvardPennsylvania

Princeton just had too much finessefor the hard-working, hard-riding Cor-nell lacrossers. Nevertheless, with threeminutes to go in the critical title-decid-ing game, the score was 8-7 in favor ofthe 1957 champions. It was right therethe truth had to be resolved, so the Redwent all out and made the big effort.First thing that happened was that perkylittle Gerard A. Cerand '60 was tossedout for what passes for foul play in thisincomprehensibly rigorous game. BruceW. Pfann '59, star midfielder and super-lative face-off artist, was already outwith a badly bruised wrist. Thus it wasPrinceton scored 3 and Cornell got nonein those three minutes.

That last week was not a happy onefor Coach Ross H. Smith's team. It wastied by Cortland State Teachers, 4-4, onWednesday in what was expected to bean easy warm-up for the big one atPrinceton. But it was a magnificent sea-son. A 9-1-1 record and some of the mostexciting games seen in the spring in Ith-aca in many years made lacrosse a sub-ject of much talk on the Campus. No-table victories were those over Dart-mouth, Yale, Penn State, and Syracuse.

The injury to Bruce Pfann early in thePrinceton game was harmful. He was apowerful force in the success of the teamwith his fine stickwork, his ability to get

the ball on the face-off, his vigorous de-fensive work, and fearless forays on of-fense. David L. Dresser '60 moved overto take his position on the face-off, buthe could not be expected to come up toPfann's standards.

Princeton assumed only a slight ad-vantage after a first period 3-3 tie. It ledat the half, 5-4, and at the third period,7-6. But the last period, and most par-ticularly the last three minutes, was de-cisive, even though Cornell had the leadonly once, at 4-3 in the second period.Midfielder Dresser and attackman Don-ald R. Frisch '58 paced the Red with 3and 2 goals, respectively. High scorerwith a season total of 23, Richard H.Murphy '58 did not score at all. Thesummary:

Ceremonies at Collyer Boathσuse—A new shell for the Varsitycrew was christened the "John L. Collyer" by Mrs. Collyer(right) before the races with Pennsylvania, May 24. Com-modore Glenn H. Light '59 presented her a bouquet of red roses.At left, the crew proudly brings the shell to the float from thenew Boathouse, for which Collyer ' 17 and Mrs. Collyer gave theUniversity some $225,pθO.

Before the christening, with Director of Athletics Robert J.Kane '34 presiding, Collyer presented the building's key toPresident Deane W. Malott, who acceptd the gift "as only oneevidence of the many directions in which John Collyer's interestin Cornell has long been shown." Coach R. Harrison Sanfordthen received the key and he thanked the donors for "the finest

building of its kind anywhere." The Collyers and their friendswere entertained at a noon reception by his fraternity, Chi Phi,and he was presented with a color picture of the plaque that isin the entry of the building.

The new Boathouse replaces the sixty-eight-year-old structuregiven by the Class of '90. It was designed by Carl C. Tallman '07and Robert B. Tallman '41, Ithaca architects, and built byAndrew W. McElwee '36 and Raymond F. McElwee '40. Anattractive lounge and dormitory for crew members on thesecond floor were furnished with excess of money given byalumni under chairmanship of Floyd R. Newman '12 to sendthe world-champion Varsity crew to the Henley Regatta inEngland last summer. Goldberg '46, Ithaca Journal

pound crews enacted some revenge bytaking all three of their races with thePenn lightweights. The Lake was chop-py, but Referee Norman G. Stagg '26got all races off on time.

In the big race, the Cornell Varsityjust got too far behind. Penn was aheadby open water through most of the raceand withstood the strong but unavailingchallenge of the Cornell eight in the last600 yards of the two-mile race. Pennwon by about a third of a length in10:08. Cornell's time was 10:09.4. Thisgave Penn the Crawford Madeira Chal-lenge Bowl and Mr. Madeira, a Pennalumnus, was right there to see his favor-ites capture it. The Red Varsity was at31 and 32 and Penn, at 33, kept pickingup seats on Cornell until it had openwater. The Cornell shell was strong butnot smooth. It tried hard, but it did nothave the finesse to catch Penn.

Penn also won the James Wray Me-morial Trophy, given by the Glass of1930, by taking most points in all threeraces. The six year Cornell-Renn seriesis now even with three Varsity winsapiece. Penn's only losses this year havebeen to Harvard and Yale and the crewrates as the favorite in the IRA. Cornell

will have a chance to offset its one-footdefeat by the Quakers at the Sprint Re-gatta at Princeton and this second defeatwhen they meet again at Syracuse, June21.

Junior-varsity race was somewhat thesame as the varsity. Penn led all the way.Cornell cut it down at the finish to three-quarters of a length, after Penn led bya length to a length and a half throughmost of the race. Penn overstroked Cor-nell, which was at 30-31 went to 34 thelast 400 yards and to 37 the last twentystrokes.

In all its years in the rowing business,Cornell has never been involved in adead heat until the freshman race, May24. There was no dispute about this one.The judges agreed with Head JudgePeter J. McManus '30 that it was im-possible to choose between them. TheRed cubs got off first, but Penn sooncaught them and took a lead of almost alength at the mile mark. Cornell cut itdown gradually and appeared to go intothe lead with 500 yards to go. Theyrowed stroke for stroke the last 400. Theywere both at 32. Then with 200 to go,they went to 34. Cornell closed with 35.

The Varsity lightweights coached by

Walter W. Schlaepfer '51 had a banneryear, losing only to undefeated Harvardby a tenth of a second in the EasternChampionship Regatta. They won fourraces, first beating Princeton and Co-lumbia, next the Detroit Boat Club andSyracuse, then Columbia and MIT, andlastly, Pennsylvania.

After Cornell battled back againstPenn from a 3-0 deficit, the game wastied at 3-3 in the eleventh with two downwhen shortstop Robert J.

Literary Leaders Speak

LECTURE SERIES sponsored by the Eng-lish Department brought eight promi-nent literary figures to the Campus dur-ing the spring term. The visitors, whoincluded some of the most famous poets,novelists, and literary critics in Europe,Canada, and the United States, not onlygave public lectures but took part ininformal consultations with students and

Faculty members, and some taught Eng-lish classes. According to Professor Wil-liam R. Keast, English Departmentchairman, the response to the series was"tremendous," with nearly full houses inOlin Hall for most of the lectures. Hesaid that the Department hopes to ar-range a similar series for next year.

The visiting lecturers were Mark VanDoren, Pulitzer Prize winning poet andprofessor of English at Columbia, whoread and discussed his poetry; LionelTrilling, also professor of English at Co-lumbia, who spoke on "English Litera-ture and American Education" DwightMacDonald, author and member of thestaff of The New Yorker magazine, "TheMass Culture of Our Time" NorthrupFrye, professor of English at Universityof Toronto, "Nature and Homer" EinarOlafur Sveinsson, professor of Icelandicliterature at University of Iceland, "TheIcelandic Sagas"; Sigmund Skard, pro-fessor of American literature at Univer-sity of Oslo, Norway, who spoke onAmerican Studies in Europe; and theBritish novelist C.

Gift Aids English Staff

ELEVEN junior members of the EnglishDepartment have benefitted from agrant-in-aid fund established this yearby an anonymous Cornellian. The fund,which provides $5000 a year for fiveyears, is for assisting members of the De-partment just beginning their careers,chiefly instructors and assistant profes-sors, to carry on scholarly research andwriting. Grants have already been madefor summer research, including traveland living expenses to release time fromteaching duties and provide replace-ments; to procure microfilms, photo-copies, and other materials that cannotbe provided by the University and secre-tarial expenses preparing manuscriptsfor publication. A Department commit-tee of Professors Meyer H. Abrams, Wal-ter H. French '19, and William R. Keastadministers the fund.

"The Haunted House"

SPRING WEEK END production of theDramatic Club was "The HauntedHouse" and it is being repeated in theWillard Straight Theater, June 13-15,during Reunions.

This is a musical version of a Greekfarce by Plautus, as translated by FrankO. Copley. A program note by the trans-lator says: "As Plautus tried to make hisGreeks talk like Romans, the presenttranslator has tried to make Plautus talklike a contemporary American." Theresult, with music by Martin G. Blinder'58 and lyrics by Richard R. Smyth,Grad, is a somewhat labored and some-times bawdy piece not very well per-formed. The scene design by FrederickM. Congdon, Grad, was humorous andbright and the colorful costumes anddyed-mop wigs designed by Phyllis

Rothgeb of the University Theatre staffgave promise that the play did not fulfill.

The thin plot has to do with the re-turn of Theopropides from a three-yearabsence to find his son, Philolaches, play-ing fast and loose with men and womencompanions. Best performances were byJoel A. Hendler '58 as Simo, a neighbor;Nan V. Pearlman '58 as Scapha, theelderly maid of Philolaches's courtesan,Philematium; J. Gordon Canyock '61 asthe wily slave, Tranio; and Woody N.Klose '60 as Callidamates, friend andfellow-celebrant of Philolaches. Occa-sionally the songs are funny.

An Undergraduate Observes

Pleasant aftermath of the student dem-onstrations just before finals took placein President Malott's office the morn-ing of Memorial Day. Hotel studentsbaked and decorated a two-layer marblecake for him and seven of them calledto present it with the wish that "when-ever you receive eggs from students inthe future, they will be in this form."And perhaps the cake is the only con-crete gain that came from those demon-strations. The protest and the commentsit raised across the country leave thiswriter with only one clear-cut impres-sion: that the studentry, whether actingout of genuine concern for their rightsor because of ca warm weather desire tolet off steam,' have a tremendous powerto hurt the University's name, and per-haps will be given more considerationin the future.

The combination of finals week andsweltering heat sent many Cornelliansin search of water, and while a few ven-tured as far as Cayuga or Six MileCreek, most found themselves clingingto the rock ledges that surround theBeebe Lake swimming hole. We foundBeebe as frigid and as foam-covered aswe remembered it from last year; evento the lifeguard who steadfastly blew hiswhistle each time we tried to slip underthe bridge and swim up to the fallsabove the Lake. Thus foiled in daylight,we have begun plotting a night-timeventure to the same spot when the guardis gone and the no man's land above thebridge is no longer no man's land.

A group of fifth-year and graduate stu-dents in Architecture and City Planningwent to Washington, D.C. in May topresent their conception of Brasilia, thenew capital of Brazil, to the BrazilianEmbassy. The large scale model, withaccompanying architects' drawings anddiagrams, was part of a course in City &Regional Planning given by ProfessorFrederick W. Edmondson '38, Land-scape Architecture. The students weresurprised and pleased to see their pic-tures on the front page of Washingtonnewspapers, to say nothing of seeingthemselves on newsreel screens.

Lawrence W. Rosenfield '60 of Hancockis the winner of the Class of 1886 Me-morial Prize for original public speak-ing. His prize-winning oration was en-titled, "Does Madison Avenue ControlYour Mind?" Other finalists were Ju-

lann E. Erb '59 of Rocky River, Ohio,James F. Dowd '60 of Massillon, Ohio,George P. Fletcher '60 of Los Angeles,CaL, and Cyrus G. Abbe '60 of Mt. Ver-non.

Women's Athletic Association has cho-sen Margaret A. Naab '59 of OrchardPark, president for the coming year. Sheis in Home Economics. Kira J. Traub'59 of Abingbon, Md. is vice-president;Judy C. Rosenbaum '59 of Drexel Hill,Pa., treasurer; and Eva Metzger '60 ofForest Hills, secretary. The Associationawarded "C's" to women for outstand-ing contributions to WAA.

Managing director of next spring's Ho-tel Ezra Cornell ("The World's OnlyHotel-For-A-Day") is Irving P. Ander-son '59 of Buffalo. His staff of seventeenofficers will be headed by Patrick F.Brocato '60 of Buffalo as front-of-the-house manager and William F. Hahne'59 of La Salle, III, back-of-the-housemanager.

Winner of the Morrison Poetry Prize for1958 is Roger H. Fogelman '60 of NewYork City. A frequent contributor to theCornell Writer, he won the Prize for aseries of ήve poems describing naturalscenery and man's relation to the worldof nature. He is a Sophomore in Agricul-ture.

In the midst of the raucous argumentover Cornell's social standards, the well-modulated tones of the 1958 intramuraldebates could scarcely be heard. Thisyear's topic was "Resolved: by increas-ing student costs, Cornell University isfailing in its responsibilities to presentand potential students." Acacia won, forthe third tirne^ thus getting permanentpossession of the interfraternity trophy.Twelve teams entered the tournament.

Cornell Dance Club last month got na-tional recognition for its spring concertin the Willard Straight Theater. LoisBalcolm, an editor of the monthlyDance Observer and writer of the mag-azine's "College Correspondence Col-umn," praised the concert as ". . . mean-ingful throughout, couched in validdance terms, not too pretentious and atmoments genuinely exciting." She alsomentioned the "uniformly high stand-ards of composition and technique" at-tained by the Dance Club's Director,May Atherton. She gave special praise

to Jennifer Tipton '58 of Knoxville,Tenn., whose performance Miss Bal-colm said " . . . demonstrated a matureversatility which was in itself a highpoint."

Walter D. Gundel '57 of Massillon,Ohio, in the fifth year of MechanicalEngineering, won the top Fuertes Me-morial Prize in Public Speaking of $100.He is a member of Chi Psi, Quill & Dag-ger, Tau Beta Pi, and Pi Tau Sigma; hasbeen a dormitory counsellor. Secondand third awards went to Paul L. Ro-senbaum '57 of New York City andThomas Criswell '57 of Wayne, Pa.,both in Electrical Engineering. ThePrizes for upperclassmen in Engineeringand Architecture were endowed in 1912by the late Charles H. Baker '86 as amemorial to Director Estevan A. Fuer-tes, Civil Engineering.

Gerald E. Rehkugler '57 of North Rose,now a graduate student in AgriculturalEngineering, won first prize of $125 giv-en by Silent Hoist & Crane Co. for thebest paper on mechanical handling ofmaterials. He compiled "A Practicaland Theoretical Analysis of the Per-formance of Inclined Screw Convey-ors." Mrs. Rehkugler is the formerCarole Mesmer '57.

The New York Herald Tribune's Edu-cation page a few weeks back carried afeature entitled "At Last, Students GiveViews," in which a group of MountHolyoke students discussed their im-pressions of their secondary school edu-cation. Among their conclusions were:"We are not expected to learn enough,""Most parents attach greater impor-tance to social success and sportsachievements than to marks or intellec-tual achievements," and "The basicAmerican fault is the non-intellectualatmosphere." But the Cornell man wasmore attracted to the picture which ac-companied the feature than the articleitself. Captioned "Mount Holyoke stu-dents in a dormitory discussion," thephotograph showed three Holyoke love-lies huddled in the corner of a ratherbare room. And on the wall above them,in a place of honor next to a Swiss skiingposter, hung a solitary Cornell banner,alone and unchallenged by the rest ofthe Ivy league. "And perhaps Cornell"indeed!

Decision of the Ithaca Common Councilto prohibit overnight parking on citystreets after September 1 brought stormsof protest from Cornellians. The Stu-dent Council made a strong attempt toprotect the students affected by the ban.The move will leave an estimated 300student cars with no place to stay unlessoff-street parking is provided, and thismay become a major financial handicapfor off-Campus students,

Theology Lectures Stir Great InterestNEARLY 1000 STUDENTS, Faculty mem-bers, and townspeople, the largest crowdever to hear a Messenger Lecture, gath-ered in Bailey Hall, May 15, to hear thefinal address of Professor Paul Tillich ofHarvard, noted theologian. The size ofthe audience was typical of the enthusi-astic response to the speaker's six lectureson "The Task of Theology in the Twen-tieth Century," in his stay of two weeks.Attendance the first three evenings in anOlin Hall lecture room was so great thatthe last three lectures were changed tolate afternoons in Bailey Hall.

Students Ask Further Discussions

The Campus Store sold more than100 copies of Tillich's books the first twoweeks of May, as compared to abouttwenty-five copies a year it usually sells.Students have asked the CURW staff tohold seminars next fall to discuss thespeaker's ideas. His books in the AnabelTaylor Hall library and the UniversityLibrary are having unprecedented use.The Rev. Glenn A. Olds, Director ofCURW, explained the general interestby saying this was the first time in manyyears the Campus had been "exposed" toa first rate theological mind for an ex-tended period. Professor Tillich notedthe high level of the question sessionsafter his lectures. He said that not a sin-gle trivial question was asked.

The evident interest in this spring'sMessenger Lectures is especially note-worthy because Tillich's philosophy isunusually complex. Even the titles ofsome lectures were formidable: "TheExistentialist Movement and the Reori-entation of Theology," "The PresentTask of Systematic Theology: The Prob-lem of Biblical Interpretation." To helpclarify its reports of the lectures, TheIthaca Journal called upon a ministerwho had studied with Tillich. Accordingto his notes as printed in The Journal:"Tillich is an existentialist, deals withreality, God, etc., insofar as one's ownexistence is involved. 'The first step tosave souls is to save words from disuse;'hence, Tillich's careful use of words andhis redefinition of many. God for Tillichis 'the Ultimate,3 The Ground of OurBeing.' Religion, then, is an encounterwith the holy, or the state of beinggrasped by an ultimate concern. . . . TheBible as it stands is not the Word of God.It cannot be called the Word of God inadvance. It may become the Word ofGod as it speaks to our condition. It be-comes the Word of God when, as weread it or hear it read, God breaksthrough in an act of revelation,,"

In 1954, Harvard appointed Tillich aUniversity Professor, one of only sixscholars who are not bound to any de-partment but may teach whatever they

636

wish. Before coming to the United Statesin 1933 as a refugee from the Nazis, Til-lich taught theology and philosophy inseveral German universities. From 1933until he joined the Harvard faculty, hewas professor of philosophical theologyat Union Theological Seminary in NewYork City. His books include The Inter-pretation of History, The Protestant Era,The Shaking of the Foundations, TheCourage to Be, and Biblical Religion andthe Search for Ultimate Reality. Heholds honorary degrees of thirteen uni-versities and has been awarded theGoethe Medal of the City of Frankfurtand the Grosse Verdienstkreuz, WestGermany's highest service honor.

Fraternity Alumni Meet

OFFICERS of the Interfraternity AlumniAssociation were all re-elected at the As-sociation's annual meeting, May 20, atthe University Club in New York City.They are Joseph Diamant '20, Sigma Al-pha Mu, president; John D. Mills '43,Sigma Phi, vice-president; and GeorgeR. Pager '48, Tau Delta Phi, secretary-treasurer. The Association was foundedin 1945 "to preserve the inherent valuesof undergraduate fraternity life at Cor-nell" and "to promote the intellectualand cultural interests of the University"through cooperation with the fraternitychapters and their alumni organizations.

Set Up New Professorship

GOLD WIN SMITH Professorship of Inter-national Law has been established by theBoard of Trustees and Professor HerbertW. Briggs is appointed its first incum-bent. This is the sixth Goldwin SmithProfessorship in Arts & Sciences, all par-tially supported from a bequest to theUniversity from Professor GoldwinSmith, English History, a member of thefirst Faculty. He left his residual estate"to be used by the Board of Trusteesfor the promotion especially of liberalstudies, languages ancient and modern,literature, philosophy, history, and po-litical science, for which provision hasbeen made in the new hall which bearsmy name."

The first five Goldwin Smith Profes-sorships were created by the Trustees in1912. They are now held by ProfessorsHarry Caplan '16, Classics; Harold W.Thompson, English Literature; Freder-ick G. Marcham, PhD '26, English His-tory; Paul W. Gates, American History;and Mario Einaudi, Government.

Professor Briggs came to the Govern-ment Department in 1929; has been pro-fessor of International Law since 1947.

He received the AB in 1921 at Universityof West Virginia and the PhD in 1925 atJohns Hopkins. He studied at Universityof Brussels and at the Academy of Inter-national Law in The Hague; has lec-tured on international law in Turkey, atUniversity of Copenhagen, and the USNaval War College. He is vice-presidentof the American Society of InternationalLaw and is editor of the Journal of In-ternational Law and author of threebooks in the field. Mrs. Briggs was Vir-ginia Yoder '35.

College Gifts Increase

CORNELL ranked seventh in total giftsreceived in 1956-57, according to a sur-vey of voluntary support of America'scolleges and universities recently report-ed by the Council for Financial Aid toEducation. In support from alumni, Cor-nell was third, behind Harvard and Yale.

In total gifts, both for current opera-tions and for capital purposes, Yale wasfirst with $23,465,347. Harvard followedwith $22,558,855; then Stanford, $22,-125,457; Johns Hopkins, $20,441,723;Columbia, $19,086,148; Chicago, $18,-180,989. Report for Cornell is $17,836,-629; followed by Rochester, $16,420,-578; California, $15,366,679; NYU,$14,950,567.

Alumni support for the year is re-ported at $4,044,958 for Cornell. Har-vard leads with $9,217,273; followed byYale with $5,451,013. Princeton wasfourth with $3,652,137; followed byCalifornia, $2,875,936; Dartmouth, $2,-333,238.

The survey shows a total of $832,937,-123 given to 910 colleges, universities,and professional schools reporting. Thisincludes nearly $200,000,000 given bythe Ford Foundation to 521 reportingprivate institutions for endowment offaculty salaries. Without the Ford grants,the increase in total support from a sim-ilar survey made two years earlier was85.29 per cent.

Total alumni giving in 1956-57 to the904 institutions reporting was $101,123,-447. The report says that "alumni, nextto the general welfare foundations, werethe most fruitful source of voluntary sup-port for the colleges."

The survey was made by the American

Intelligence

STATLER has come to mean much muchmore than a chain of hotels to our Cam-

pus community. In theStatler Gifts spring of 1950, StatlerBenefit Hall was opened. OfCommunity course that meant a lot

to the School of Hotel Ad-ministration because it gave it the homeof its dreams. To the rest of us it gave,in the Statler Club, a Faculty clubunique in beauty and utility. It alsofurnished thirty-six first-class transientrooms and a combination dining hall-ballroom that allows Ithaca to take careof gatherings far beyond its former ca-pacity.

Now the building's usefulness to thewhole community has been immeasure-ably increased with the opening of itsnew wing, containing the Alice StatlerAuditorium. No longer will we be ham-strung by lack of a hall between Bailey,with its 2047 seats, and Olin M, whichcan handle 400 people if some of themsit on the floor and in the aisles. AliceStatler seats 920 in its main floor andbalcony. Besides, it is a proper theaterwith stage, flies, wings, and a movableorchestra pit. You should have heard thespontaneous applause at the dedicationas the orchestra platform rose from thedepths to stage level, set up with lecternand chairs for the dignitaries and foot-light-rimmed with tulips. It was a note-worthy inaugural.

What endears Statler to us Campus-dwellers is, of course, the Statler Club.

When the trustees of theStatler Club Statler Foundation foundServes themselves in the late 'for-Real Need ties able to carry out the

late Ellsworth M. Statler'saspirations for the Hotel School, theUniversity had no Faculty Club. The an-cient Town & Gown Club had served theneed in its day, as had the UniversityClub for a while in a makeshift way, butthey had both expired. It's a long storybut, in brief, Professor Walter F. Will-cox, Economics, Emeritus, proposed ina University Faculty meeting in 1942creation of a committee to consider ways

June 15, 1958

and means of establishing a FacultyClub. That committee visited other cam-puses and came up with a cost figure of$300,000. "Mr. Hotel School,53 DirectorH. B. (Don) Meek, known to all genera-tions of "Hotelies" as "Prof," was amember of that committee. He proposedto the Foundation that space be includedin the proposed building for the Club.The cost was estimated at $400,000 bythen. The University offered to contrib-ute $200,000; the Foundation stood therest. The Club pays rent to the Schoolof 4 per cent on $200,000 and on an ad-ditional amount for furnishings andequipment. The School is responsible forthe food-and-drink part. Manager, sincethe beginning, has been J. William Con-ner '40, who is also assistant professor inthe School. The Statler Inn is anotherentity; it runs the thirty-six rooms as apractice hotel and guests of the Inn mayuse the Club facilities. It is a nice ar-rangement.

Professor Willcox gave $10,000 to es-tablish a Club library. A quarter of thiswent for an initial stock of books; $7500went into an endowment for purchasesand periodical subscriptions. Mr. Stat-ler's picture hangs in the library behindhis handsome old desk. Charming Mrs.Statler is an honorary member and fre-quently visits the Club. At the Audito-rium dedication, President Malott calledher appropriately "Cornell's adopted co-ed and perpetual sweetheart." I still re-member how, at the cornerstone layingof the original building, she laid on thefirst trowel of mortar, then got into thespirit of the thing and practically racedthe master-mason to complete the course.

The Statler Club has lived up to allexpectations. It is a wonderful place toentertain, the Christmas parties for chil-dren (and grown-ups) are famous, theClub dances are very nice, the Statler"Single Set" is an up-and-coming sub-division, the duplicate bridge groupmeets twice monthly, the "Meet theTravellers" series has been an outstand-ing success in the pictures that membershave shown. That the Club serves itsmain aim of getting people from all di-visions of the University to know one an-other is attested to by the throngs at theafter-luncheon coffee hour and for therelatively inexpensive dinners in theRathskeller. It's almost impossible tothink of the Campus without the StatlerClub now, just as it is for the studentswithout Willard Straight Hall.

For those who like to reduce things tofigures, Statler Foundation benefactionsamount to about $6,050,000, accordingto "Prof's" rough calculation. This in-cludes scholarship endowments of $150,-000 and one for Statler Hall mainte-nance and replacement of $1,250,000. Ahandsome sum! My particular tributeis that it has not been spent just for the

Hotel School. For instance, the Schoolwill have relatively limited need for a920-seat auditorium, but the Universitywill use it often. The School might wellhave asked .the Foundation for endowedprofessorships instead, but it didn't. Wel-come to Alice Statler Auditorium!

THE FACULTYPresident Deane W. Malott will leave the

United States, June 26, with six other col-lege and university presidents to survey Rus-sian universities. Headed by ChancellorEdward H. Litchfield of University ofPittsburgh, former Dean of the GraduateSchool of Business & Public Administration,the group will visit universities in Moscow,Leningrad, and Kiev, among others. Thesurvey is a result of the agreement reachedlast January between the United States andRussia for "exchange in cultural, technical,and educational fields." This will be one offour university delegations. Others in thegroup are Presidents Herman B. Wells ofIndiana, T. Keith Glennan of Case Insti-tute of Technology, Harry D. Gideonse ofBrooklyn College, Gaylord Harnwell ofUniversity of Pennsylvania, and ChancellorFranklin D. Murphy of University of Kan-sas.

Alumni Trustee Frederic C. Wood '24spoke on "Analyzing Building Costs forSchools" at a conference on school buildingsponsored by the Connecticut State De-partment of Education in Bloomfield, April10. He presented a method of studying andcomparing costs and values that may beused by school boards and taxpayers wher-ever new schools are built. Wood is a mem-ber of the firm of Wood & Sibbert, consult-ing engineers, First National Bank Building,Greenwich, Conn. He is a member of theTrustees' buildings & properties committee.

Am in a rather peculiar position with thiscolumn. This is being written before ourForty-five-year Reunion. But when youread this, our big '13 get-together will be athing of the past. Anything I might sayhere about any Classmate who "reunes" inIthaca will be old stuff to all the other at-tending brethren, because they will haveobtained in person much more news firsthand. So guess I'll give a little news abouta few who have indicated they are not plan-ning to be in Ithaca.

Doc (Dudley S.) Ingraham, 156 SummerStreet, Bristol, Conn., retired the first of theyear as president of E. Ingraham Co., manu-facturers of clocks, watches, and timing de-vices. He says he is really semi-retired, as histime is now too filled with his numerousoutside hobbies, such as TV, books, andtravel. So he is completely overworked.Along the travel line, he has it in mind toget to Africa. Well, Doc, even if you can'tmake Africa, I hope your plans will workout so you were able to make Ithaca afterall.

San (S. Sanford) Thayer, 215 West 21stStreet, Vancouver, Wash., is another re-tirer who is really keeping busy in retire-ment. He retired in December, 1956, asmanager of Northwest operations for Alu-minum Co. of America, as previously men-tioned in this sterling column. Last year theJunior Chamber of Commerce named himSenior First Citizen for 1956. Also in 1957,he was chairman of the industrial develop-ment committee of the Chamber of Com-merce and in November was made chair-man of Clark County, Vancouver RegionalPlanning Commission. This year he wasmade an honorary life member of the Van-couver Chamber of Commerce, and has justrecently been elected a member of the Van-couver school board. Looks to me, San, likeyou have your work cut out for you for therest of your days.

Smithy (Francis C.) Smith, 14 ChaseStreet, Danvers, Mass., is retired, has fourgrandchildren, and keeps busy with thechairmanship of the Danvers Housing Au-thority for Low Income Elderly and the lo-cal Golden Age Club. He says he watchesthe thermometer in the winter time and ifit gets below 20 degrees he takes a nitro-glycerin pill before venturing out in theelements. A darned good idea, Smithy.

Harry (Ah, there's a good name!) (H.M.) Harrington, Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.,has a pretty good plan of life. He writes,"Years ago I got in the habit of eating;therefore I am still practicing medicine andsurgery in order to continue the habit." Youknow, there's just a lot of plain good sensein that.

Ed (Edgar H.) Vanst, 23 Oxford Road,Ben Avon Hgts., Pittsburgh 2, Pa., retiredfrom The Jeffrey Mfg. Co. as local salesmanfor the mining division in October, aftertwenty-five years of service. They are plan-ning to sell their home in Pittsburgh and

June 15, 1958

hope to settle in Florida where, they seemto believe, the climate may be better forthem than in Pittsburgh. (I would think so,too.) They have one son, Edgar H., Jr.,graduating from ME this June.

That's about it for now. So long!

'14 Emerson Hinchliff400 Oak AvenueIthaca, N.Y.

Well, we had another fine '14 dinner, May14, at the Cornell Club of New York, withprecisely fifty present. Walt Addicks, whoagain ran the show, sent a list of those pres-ent. The lucky fifty heard a fascinating talkon ciphers by Colonel William F. Friedman,entitled "From Biology to Cryptology; Epi-sodes in the Seduction of a Cornellian." Theseduction was from genetics (our ClassBook nicknamed him "Eugenics Bill") tociphers. Bill said that Daniel was the firstcryptologist, translating the handwriting onthe wall. He carried us through Europe,Benedict Arnold, and Andre, Champollionand the Rosetta Stone, the Civil War, theBritish solving of the Bernstorff-Zimmer-man telegram before we entered the GreatWar, how ghastly unprepared the USArmy was as regards ciphers then, and howa group he was with that was workingon supposed Bacon-Shakespeare ciphersjumped into the breach. He told us aboutdifferent types of cipher machines, aboutrum-runners' codes, and the like, culminat-ing in breaking the Japanese code. That ma-chine, or operation, called "Magic," enabledthe Navy to intercept the Japs at Coral Sea,for instance, shortened the war by two years,and saved countless lives. You will remem-ber that back in 1956 Bill received fromCongress $100,000 for wartime inventions;there could conceivably be some connection.On the way down, I got great diversion outof reading his and his wife's The Shake-spearean Ciphers Examined, put out byCambridge University Press, which prompt-ly required a second printing; I have seenreviews of it in Punch, the New Yorker, andmany other places, all laudatory. From acipher angle, the Baconians' claims arebunk. Incidentally, on a certain page intheir book they inserted a cipher message,but it's still beyond me.

Those present at the dinner: Addicks,Asen, Bishop, Bowers, Brougham, Campbell,Carman, Chapin, Christie, Clurman, Cof-fey, Cuddeback, Day, Drescher, W. Ed-wards, Flood, Friedman, Goertz, Goldberg,Goodman, G. Halsted, H. Halsted, Hinch-liff, Howell, Kann, Kappler, Kleberg,Kuhlke, Lent, Lewis, Mackenzie, MacMa-hon, Munns, Peters, Phillips, Rees, Riegel-man, Roof, Sherwood Smith, Spillman,Stahl, Stone, Ter Kuile, Upson, Wallach,Watson, Weinberger, Williamson, Worth-am, and John Ramsay Friedman '50 (theRamsay coming from godfather RamseySpillman).

Jim Munns came the greatest distance.He announced that Walt Addicks would beReunion chairman for our 45th next year.At Frank Rees' suggestion, we stood for amoment out of respect for our departedmates of the past year, notably StubbyShaner and Hibby Ayer. Regrets came fromBarnes, Boak, Eddy, Keller, Plotkin, Leon-ard Treman, Rice, Bassett, McRae Parker,Bordon, and others. Hendershot came theweek of the first date announced and

couldn't repeat. Morris Bishop reported thatspring had finally arrived in Ithaca after along hard winter. Bill Upson looked wellafter a Vermont winter. Froggie Williamsonsaid we had all kept our looks; he certainlyhas. I sat near Sherwood Smith, who hasbeen in the advertising game for thirty-oneyears. I never knew it before, but he is chair-man and senior partner of the very wellknown firm of Calkins & Holden. A son,who had one year at Cornell, has done wellwith Gulf Oil; another, Floriculture '52, isdoing the same with Vaughn Seeds. ChrisChristie told me that he and several othershad applied to join George Kuhlke's trampathletes. W e i n i e W e i n b e r g e r , HospitalEquipment Corp., goes to Europe in Sep-tember for ten weeks. Al Clurman is chiefreal estate appraiser for the city, in the con-troller's office. He's working on some citymiddle-income group housing; also does abit of real estate development on his ownaccount. Frank Bowers was in Italy inMarch-April and return to Europe in thefall. He told me he was the roommate ofRalph Perkins, the arrestee in the "ThreeWeeks" riot to whom Andrew D. sent thebook. Frank's brother just died; he wastreasurer of Atlantic & Pacific DredgingCo., the source of all that McMullen Schol-arship money. He told me that J. DuPrattWhite '90 was the lawyer for John McMul-len and that is how Cornell figured in hiswill. Guy Campbell, up from Baltimore,told me that they had opened their seventhSakrete plant a few days ago in Batavia.Guy also gave me a Wall Street Journalclipping of last October about Fred Conant,named to the newly-created position of vice-chairman of the board of Douglas AircraftCo. Flying high!

Frank D. Lindquist, 1 Cedar Street, Wor-cester, Mass., expects to retire at the end of1958; will spend winters in Florida and therest of the year at his home in Jafϊrey, N.H.

Mr. and Mrs. Claude F. Williams, 184Ascan Avenue, Forest Hills 75, returned inMarch from a Carribean cruise on theMauretania. Claude says that in many of theremote islands where they visited, Ameri-cans with ample funds are developing re-tirement places where some are spendingpart and others all of their time.

Charles P. Clark, Skaneateles, writes:"There was a meeting of the Clark CornellClub of Skaneateles October 13. Presentwere Charles P. Clark, Sr., Charles P. Clark,Jr. '39, Agnes I.

Alsopresent were two wives and two husbandswho are not Cornellians and thirteen chil-dren who are not yet Cornellians. The aboveis stale news. We have since accumulatedanother grandson."

'17 Men—The last time we heard fromCharles (Tommy) Thompson was abouta year ago from Addis Ababa where hehad finally landed after he and Mrs.Thompson had been "booted" out of Israelon two hours' notice. Tommy retired a cou-ple of years ago and decided he could servethis troubled old world best by enteringsome foreign service branch of our Govern-ment. He was assigned to promote modernagriculture in Israel, but they were orderedto leave when trouble started betweenIsrael and Egypt, abandoning their newhome and all belongings except what theycould carry onto a transport plane boundfor Rome. Finally they landed in Addis

640

Ababa and eventually visited many adjacentparts of Africa, before returning to Israelto finish his assignment.

Tommy writes: "Took a three-day tripinto Uganda and then along the border ofthe Belgian Congo. Saw and photographeda wide variety of animals and birds, includ-ing elephants, hippos, buffalo, zebra, chee-tah, wildebeasts, etc. While I was taking apicture of a group of eleven lions (from acar, of course!) one of them arose, ambledover and rubbed his back against the bump-er of the car." Tommy expects to finish hisassignment in Israel in September, return-ing to the West by traveling east. He andMrs. Thompson will visit Tehran, NewDelhi, Kashmir, Benares, Calcutta, Ran-goon, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Hawaii,and will be at home after November 1 at 307Lincoln Avenue, Highland Park, N J . Onthe way back they will also visit their daugh-ters and grandchildren in Palo Alto, Cal.and Salem, Ore. We hope Tommy can tellus about his varied experiences at our next517 New York dinner.

Ed's mailing addressis 908 St. Paul St., Baltimore 2, Md., but helives for a great part of the year at Tyd-ings-On-The-Bay, Annapolis, where he hasserved in many civic capacities.

The depression (or is it only a recession?)has hit us! Only eighty Classmates have paid1958 dues. There were 112 in 1957! Wewould like to continue six-page issues of TheCall of 1917 instead of the four pagesprinted prior to 1957. But we need help!

Moreparticularly, prepare yourself for the nextissue of that infrequent but famous publica-tion, The Eighteen Amendment. Specialfeature writers are being assembled from farand near, though Charlie Muller may endup doing most of the writing himself. Photo-graphs are being studied; financial state-ments are being prepared; and you'll get thefull story of the Class gift to Cornell. Ah,

The easy life of retirement is appealingto more and more Classmates. Latest to beheard from is W. D. (Bill) Comings(above) who has just decided that thirty-six years of hard work in developing pineforests in the South for West Virginia Pulp& Paper is enough for him. Bill has been aforester ever since his graduation and wasa pioneer in developing sound forest man-agement methods. He is a senior member ofthe Society of American Foresters and alsobelongs to the American Forestry Associa-tion. He and his wife live in Maplewood,N.J., but are thinking North Carolina maybe the place to take life easy in the future.

Who'sthis guy, Julian Minier, who caught on the'19 team with Olson and Needle as pitchers?Ask him if he remembers the post seasongame at University of Vermont, when wegot a ride on the pretty yacht and whenFreddy Ensworth hit the home run at Yale.Yeah! And later when Ollie Olson pitchedon Detroit and had a fisticuff with TyrusRaymond Cobb, the great, and was sent tothe K.G. Blues on account of it. Yeah! Iremember the Yale game, when Ollie prom-ised me the Yale ball by striking out thelast batter and he did. I still have the ball,and also the Pennsylvania ball when luckyme got a hit that won the game. Only hit allseason. And Doc Sharpe coached and latercame out here and coached at WashingtonU in St. Louis. I could go on and on, butmust stop to talk about my seven grandchil-dren, four queens and three jacks. Nothing,however, compared to the thirty-five grand-children of Al Griesedieck '16. Al used tobe quite a singer and still is at alumni meet-ings. And for you beer drinkers, Joe Griese-dieck '40 is president of the Falstaff BrewingCo., one of the largest and finest."

Well, how about that! Thanks a lot, Gid;when you come to Reunion next year, bringyour banjo and we'll give the boys a treat!

"For it's always fair weather, when goodfellows get together." As the immortalstrains of that song of fellowship float downthe Hill, the beer trucks are floating up theHill, and the alumni are just floating; well,from tent to tent with elbows bent, withsinging and shouting the air they rent, untilthe night is almost spent; but only fun, noharm is meant, these good old grads areheaven-sent; most of 'em have more dollarsthan cents, so please put up with them,gents!

Our Poet Laureate, William HoraceWhittemore, who helps to mold the lives ofYoung America at the Leelanau Schools inGlen Arbor, Mich., has crashed throughagain with the honor of having his poetryselected for the 1958 Teacher's Anthology.Uncle Whit is looking forward to a glor-ious, exciting summer aboard the SwedishAmerican liner Gripsholm on a forty-four-day cruise to the North Cape, the first to bemade in twenty years. Whit's terrific talentsare well recognized as he will sail June 28as a staff consultant, will conduct SundayDivine Service, give poetry readings, tellold (or young) ladies' fortunes, (they oughtto have him on the piano stool, too) androll out the red carpet for Classmates orCornellians who might be in any of theeighteen ports on the itinerary, like Oslo,Bergen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Copenhagen,Hamburg or Antwerp. (There are lots ofothers, too, but we can't spell 'em.) WhenWhit hits NY again August 12, the least thesteering committee could do would be tomeet him in true '20 fashion with KellySachs's Highland Band and Stew Solomonon the caliope.

Max Lippitt, the Savanah oil baron, gothis four kids married off and then retired,figuring it was a good job done. And so itwas, since he now has ten grandchildren(80% male).

Rev. G. Eugene Durham has resigned asdirector of the Methodist student founda-tion at Northwestern University after 16years of successfully building the organiza-tion from a struggling infant in 1942 to aman-size operation, including the recentcompletion of a $35,000 addition to theparsonage and student center. Mrs. Durham(Mary Pullman Porter) '22, equally activeas treasurer of the Evanston Council ofChurches and former president of theUnited Church Women, and Gene wereformerly counselors at Cornell, and will begreatly missed at NU, but their work ac-complished, they seek new fields.

Gene will be pastor at First MethodistChurch of Palmyra. Gene and Mary re-cently attended the Central NY Conferencemeeting in Auburn where the appointmentwas confirmed and they were guests of honorat a reunion dinner of Cornell alumni andprofessors. Gene is real pleased to be so closeto Ithaca, he might even join the CRC andhe's a dead cinch for the 40th.

Despite the large volume of H 2 O overthe dam since 1920, Don Stevens, havingpicked up the Master's at Pittsburgh and thePhD in chemistry at the U of Chicago, hashad just one position, with the PetroleumFellowship at Mellen Institute. Don's abouton the edge of the Green Pastures, havingbeen responsible for fifteen publicationsand eighty-two patents and the second re-vision of his co-authored book, ChemicalTechnology of Petroleum, is ready for Mc-Graw-Hill. There's another pasture Don hasbeen studying in connection with the tech-nology of the game of golf, and he says hecan now break 70 in 23/4 hours. (He didn'tsay if that was the first or second nine!)

We've got to find a new title for Jeff Kil-borne who has been elevated (or jet-pro-pelled) to chief conductor of the Continu-ous Reunion Club, with 125 members froma wide range of Classes. We've made somany cracks about this august body thatmeets in June each year, that Jeff's first of-ficial act was to send us an invitation to be-come one of this gweat gwoop. Of course,there's a little thing like dues to pay (man-datory, but without legal action), whetheryou make the Reunion or not. GentlemanJeff plays at being a farmer, but that's justa front! He's really a promoter, and a goodone, at least he got us to join, and we expectit to be a Continual Reign of Confusion.The 1958 headquarters on Campus havenot yet been announced, where you can seeJazz-age Jeff in his Coonskin coat (as PeteLins did in Florida last winter), but by thetime you read this, the Reunion will be allhung over, so we'll plan to see you all nextyear!

I urge all of you who can possibly do soto spend a week end in Ithaca during Maynext year, as I have just done. Don't plan todo anything special, but visit your oldhaunts, if you can recognize them. Try outthe University's eighteen-hole golf courseif you are a golfer. Go out to SapsuckerWoods, the bird sanctuary given to Cornellby our Classmate Lyman Stuart and hisfamily, and walk through its wooded paths.Drop in on the baseball game and drivedown to the Inlet to see the new Boathouse.Select your dates far enough in advance tosecure reservations at the Statler Inn whereyou will be just a few steps from all that isnew on the Campus. Such a week end willdo you more good than any spring tonicyou could buy at the drug store.

It is never too late to pay your Class duesor to make your annual gift to Cornell.Have you done both?

Phyl Shaw filled nearly ten inches, plus atwo-column cut in the New York Times ofApril 14. Meyer Berger, in his "About NewYork" column, wrote about PhyΓs dailybicycle rides back and forth from her East33d Street apartment to her job at IBM at57th Street. The "Cynosure of MadisonAvenue," Berger headlined the story, andthen went on to explain that she makes therun in twelve minutes, finds that traffic copswave her on smilingly, and bus driverssometimes run interference for her. Whydoes she bicycle? Some of the people shepasses think she's eccentric, but Phyl re-plies, "There's nothing eccentric about afallen arch. It's because of a fallen arch Iprefer the bike to walking or to standing ona crowded bus." A frequent passenger onthe bicycle is Bacchus, which Berger de-scribes as "a philosophical clown of a dach-shund." PhyΓs job at IBM is as an editorialassociate on Field-WHQ News, a house pub-lication. She lives at 163 East 33d Street.

With most of the graduations, reunions,curricular and extracurricular events of theschool year now completed, many folks turntheir attention to vacation spots, the base-ball standings, and perhaps either golf ortennis. As of this writing, folks in the Wash-ington area can relax with regard to thematter of baseball standings, though, sinceour entry in the American League has justrecently made its annual move, from thefirst division to somewhere near the bottom.But the weather has been nice, the rush ofhigh school tour groups has subsided a bit,and as Congress puts on its election-year fin-ish drive, most Washingtonians head for theChesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean resorts,or to points north and west of here.

Among those who will be home this sum-mer, however, are Allen S. Rowe, 542 Bea-con Road, Silver Spring, Md., and his wifeJan (Burroughs), keeping an eye on theirfirst child, Bruce, born in early May. Also,David G. Jones, 27 Robinson Street, Sauger-ties, Conn., a science teacher at SaugertiesCentral School, plans to put in a full sum-mer by attending the 1958 Wesleyan Uni-versity graduate summer school for teachers.The graduate summer school, inauguratedin 1953, is part of a program designed forsecondary school teachers and administra-tors, and completion of the course of studiesthere leads to the unique degree of MA inLiberal Studies.

He hastwo children, Karen and Treb, 3 and 1, re-spectively, and reports that he just recentlybecame a licensed pilot. Out in the othercitrus fruit area, Allen E. Galson, 16360 LosGatos Almaden Road, Los Gatos, Cal., re-ports that he is still engaged in commercialatomic power work for the atomic productsequipment department of General Electric.Until recently, Al was senior engineer incharge of conceptual design of GE's ad-vanced boiling water reactors, but he is nowtalking up atomic power with the utilitycompany people.

A nice note serves to bring us up to dateon Judy Goodstein Kleitman. Judy writes:"Dave '52 completed the PhD in physics atPurdue in January. He is now doing re-search with RCA in Princeton, N.J. Sincewe can once again claim to be Easterners,we'd enjoy seeing or hearing from our manyCornell friends. Our mailing address is RD,Skillman, N.J.; this represents our lovelycountry home on the outskirts of Princeton."Keeping Judy busy around the "countryhome" are Joey, 4Ϋ2, and Naomi, 2ιλ.

Happy new home owners at 40 RockridgeRoad in Mt. Vernon are Anne Bezer Lom-bardo and family. Also, presumably happyhome owners up in Rochester are Roger '52and Joan Ganders Glassey. I say presum-ably because Joan writes: "We're experi-menting with gardening and landscaping;so far we've just been moving all the shrubsand bushes to new locations. Great fun, ifthey survive!" Roger is an industrial engi-neer with Eastman Kodak, and Joan is chiefcook and bottle washer for daughter Kath-erine Leah, born November 29. The bushmoving, incidentally, takes place at 108Pontiac Drive in Rochester. I was glad tohear that the Glasseys are once more State-side, because the last time I saw Roger andJoan, they delivered two most welcome car-tons of cigarettes smuggled into Englandafter I'd puffed my way through my ownand husband Chad's allotments!

I saw in the fine print in the SchenectadyGazette that Martha Bliss Grogan had adaughter, Martha, April 18. Marty, hus-band Joseph DVM '50, baby Martha, andtwo older daughters live at 29 Martin Courtin Depew.
