CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS VOL. XXXIII, No. 19 ITHACA, NEW YORK, FEBRUARY χ6, 1931 PRICE 12. CENTS Dr. Fish Dies Dean of College of Veterinary Associated with Cornell Since 1896— Editor and Scientist Dr. Pierre A. Fish '90, dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine since 192.9, when he succeeded the late Dr. Veranus A. Moore '87, died February 19 of pneumonia. He was sixty-six years old on February 17. Dr. Fish's death followed that of Dr. Moore by eight days and closed the careers of two men who were closely associated since 1896, when they both joined the Faculty of the College at its establishment by the late Dr. James Law. Dr. Fish was critically ill at the time of Dr. Moore's death, and was not informed'of it. He had been ill for a little more than three weeks, having contracted a cold on a trip to Schenectady where he had broadcast a professional talk. Dr. Fish was born in Chatham, February 17, 1865. After graduating from Hartwick Seminary, he entered Cornell in 1885, and in 1890 took the degree of Bachelor of Science in natural history. From 1890 to 1895 he was instructor in physiology, vertebrate zoology, and neurology. During that time he continued his studies and received the degree of Doctor of Science in 1894. In 1895-96, Dr. Fish was an assistant in the Bureau of Animal Industry in the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C. He returned to Cornell in 1896 as assistant professor, and in 1902. he was made professor of veterinary physiology. He received the degree of D.V.M. in 1899. Upon his return he assumed the secretaryship of the Faculty of the College, retiring from that office in 1917. He was appointed dean in the summer of 192.9, the third man to hold that office. From 1915 to 1918, Dr. Fish was editor of The Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. He resigned in 1918 to join the United States Army in the World War, having the rank of major in the Veterinary Corps, SurgeonGeneral's Department, in 1918-19. He was a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was a member of Sigma Xi, Phi Kappa Phi, and Phi Zeta. Among his books were A Book of Veterinary Doses, Therapeutic Terms and Prescription Writing, and Exercises in Physiology. He also contributed to scientific journals. In January, 192.5, a portrait of Dr. Fish was presented the University by alumni of the college in appreciation of his long service as a teacher. At that time, President Farrand said of him: "Personal modesty characterizes Dr. Fish. Far from a one-sided man, he is not satisfied with purely academic pursuits, but is alive to the responsibilities of citizenship as well. His enlistment and valuable service during the recent War are adequate proof of this quality. " It is a great thing for any institution to have visible reminders of the figures who have made the institution great. Among such will stand for all time Dr. Pierre A. Fish, who from the earliest foundation of the College has been instrumental in stamping it with standards and in maintaining those standards, while at the same time attaining notable personal achievement.'' Funeral services were held on February 2.2.. Dr. Fish is survived by his widow, four daughters, Mrs. Elinor Jahn '19, Katherine '2.7, Margaret A. '2.^,, and Elizabeth Fish '31; one son, William C. Fish, and one brother, Hugh L. Fish. A special administrative committee is now supervising the activities of the College. RUTH PUTNAM DIES Ruth Putnam, Alumni Trustee from 1899 to 1909, author of a number of books on history and historical characters, and daughter of the founder of the publishing house of G. P. Putnam's Sons, died in Geneva, Switzerland, on February iz, of pneumonia. She was born in Yonkers, N. Y., seventy-four years ago, the daughter of George P. and Victorine Haven Putnam. She received the degree of B.Lit. Miss Putnam was the author of a biography of William the Conqueror, and of A Medieval Princess, Charles the Bold, Luxemburg and Her Neighbors, and The Life and Letters of Mary Putnam Jacobi, the biography of her sister, a pioneer woman physician. Three brothers, Herbert, Kingman, and Irving Putnam, survive her. Pound Begins Lectures Harvard Law School Dean Opens Messenger Series on The Evolution of Legal Rights Roscoe Pound,dean of the Harvard Law School and member of President Hoover's Law Enforcement Commission, began the annual Messenger Lecture series on February 16. The lecture was the first of twelve on '' The Evolution of Legal Rights.'' Dean Pound was originally scheduled to give the lectures in 1930, but his duties as a member of the national commission prevented him from coming to Cornell last year. He is the sixth lecturer on the foundation established by the late Hiram J. Messenger '80. Other lecturers have been Dr. James H. Breasted, Dr. Robert A. Millikan, Professor Herbert J. C. Grierson, the late Professor Thomas F. Tout, and Professor Edward L. Thorndike. The general theme of the lecture series is."The Evolution of Civilization." '' Law is regarded as a specialized form of social control," Dean Pound said in his initial lecture. "The modern approach t o the problem of legal rights is sociological and psychological." Dean Pound referred to the legal order as one created for an agricultural society now finding itself trying to function in a society essentially urban. "Jurisprudence is now going back and entangling itself with metaphysics," he said, in referring to the fact that the legal profession is now at an impasse. Dean Pound expressed the belief that confidence is waning in our institutions, making us suspicious of the modes of thought that led to the idea they were the best that could be devised. He exprςssed skepticism of the present vigorous realist school in jurisprudence. LECTURES FOR ARCHITECTS A series of twelve lectures on city planning will be held for students in the College of Architecture during the second semester by non-resident specialists. A similar series was given last year. The first lecture will be given on February 16. The lecturers will include Russell V. Black Ί 6 , Philadelphia, who will discuss the professions involved in city planning, Justin R. Hartzog '17, Tracy B. Augur '17, Gilmore D. Clarke '13, and Frederick L. Ackerman '01. 12.6 THE CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS ATHLETICS tain Pappano in the fifth bout clinched the meet for the Ithacans.

THE CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS 2.2.7 JUST LOOKING AROUND SOME UNIVERSITY of Michigan fraternity boys, thinking noharm, laid in a stock of whisky and gin for Prom Week. The United States Booze Boys, armed with a hot tip, raided some of the best houses, and carried off the whisky, gin, and brothers. The president,outraged, assesses the harshest of academic penalties. The country's press carries the news infront-page columns; The Cornell Sun runs pleasing photographs of the fine upstanding bootlegger and the handsome, clean-limbed delivery boy. The halls ofMichigan's Legislature ring with denunciations of the raid, with charges that someone was out to " g e t " these poor boys. Why this flush andheat? Why this excitation of feeling? Plenty of clubs have been raided ere this; hardly a month goes by in Ithaca butsome one down by the Inlet is discovered to have a nice brew of beer in his cellar; he is fined $500 as an offering toJustice. The law is clear and categorical; there can be no question of the young men's guilt. Why, then, this flush and heat? Merely because the University of Michigan fraternity men are Nice People. It is alarming to those who were taught to bow the head at the name of Democracy to note that prohibition enforcement does not apply to Nice People. Let some Italian sell his home-made wine down on the flats and he will getraided and sent upfor six months; butnoenforcement officer would say a word about the transport of quarts in fur coats to five-dollar football games. We will believe in prohibition enforcement when they put the Nice People in jail. Raid theFifth Avenue Clubs, the fraternities, the Faculty Clubs; raid the politicians and the archbishops andthe prohibition enforcement officers; raid Senator Brookhart and General Smedley Butler andif you're going to make it unanimous, raid Rundschauer. RUNDSCHAUER The report urged legislation to further the benefits of State health work of the past twenty years, particularly in the fields of tuberculosis, venereal disease, protection of maternity and infancy, county health departments, and career positions in public health.

He sought to reduce his weight bya strict diet to prepare for a role in the film version of the play, "The Front Page." The effort was too great. Death resulted from cancer of the stomach. He was fifty years old. Famed chiefly for his villainous roles in motion pictures, Wolheim had a varied career on both stage and screen. His face was hisstock in trade in films. While a student at Cornell he suffered a broken nose. The crooked nose was a feature of a physiognomy that led himto roles of importance inmotion pictures. Discovered byLionel Barrymore while he was still in Ithaca, Wolheim early went to Los Angeles. His entry into the profession of stage and screen was a dramatic one. Barrymore found him playing small roles forthe Wharton films being made in Ithaca, and gave him an introduction toa New York producer. Wolheim's first major part was with John Barrymore in The Judge. His greatest stage success wasin the role of Captain Flagg of What Price Glory? In the films, hehad a long career, capping it with a capital performance as Katcsinski in All Quiet on the Western Front, a story of German soldiers in the World War. Because of hisfrequent appearance in the motion pictures, he was one of the most widely known of Cornellians. Wolheim studied mechanical engineering at Cornell and remained inIthacasix years after graduation to teach mathematics atthe Cornell Preparatory School. He was known to Cornelliansjand Ithacans as "Wolly." He is still somewhat of a legend inIthaca. Other films in which Wolheim appeared were Two Arabian Knights, Sorrell and Son, The Awakening, Condemned, Danger Lights, Frozen Justice, and The Wolf Song. YALE has abolished mid-year examinations, inaugurated three reading periods a year, and made changes in the method of instruction designed to emphasize method and mastery rather than acquisition ofcredits. Each student will choose not more than five courses a year; juniors and seniors whose work is of quality grade may elect fewer than five. To win a degree, the student must complete the work of four years with a grade of 2.75 or better in atleast six courses. Early in February each instructor is to reporton the work of each student in his course. At the close of the year any student failing in two courses will be dropped. have we the initiative to revise our ways BOOKS of living sufficiently to persist as a nation?

Member of Intercollegiate Alumni Extension Service Printed by The Cayuga Press Entered as Second Class Matter at Ithaca, N. Y. ITHACA, N. Y., FEBRUARY 2.6, 1931 BASEBALL EVOLUTION BY A.W.S. '78 The difficulty in studying organic evolution is that no person was present— with a microscope—to observe the beginnings and progress of the real process. And so it is necessary to dig upscattered bones upon which the wise zoologist can turn his imagination until he sees a complete skeleton supplied with all the accompaniments of life; thepaleontologist blasts the rocks to find the fossil record, and from it tells what must have happened; the morphologist and the embryologist reveal what is and what happens now. Then they all get together and patch up a very probable and useful theory. How great is the advantage over this complex method when oneman's life— three score and ten years plus—covers completely thefacts of theevolution of something, as, for instance, thegame of baseball! I remember when "two-old-cat" or 4'spot-ball" was the accepted ball game on the playgrounds of village schools; and never since have I witnessed somuch hilarious enjoyment as this game afforded . Then the fashion changed; baseball was invented and spread throughoutthe land. A diamond was laid out on our village green and the village youth learned the new sport. The main-traveled road through the village crossed a corner of the diamond; but this gave little trouble; for the main traffic was by farm wagons, which almost invariably drew up by the roadside to watch the game; or, if a spanking team from some neighboring city came dashing along with nosign of slowing, time was called, the second baseman stepped aside, the scornful city dwellers passed, and thegame was resumed. In those unscientific days the pitcher really pitched; there were no curves except those due to gravitation. I remember how ardently I wished I could grow up and pitch like Al Madole: other human accomplishments seemed unimportant to methen. On one memorable day Ed Clark knocked a fly clear down to the Liberty Pole! He circled the bases and nearly caught his breath again while center field was still running after the ball. Ed Clark—long since dead—still holds that batting record. How I longed to make a "home run!" Alas, the best I could do was to put a short fly into the shortstop's hands. Somehow I wasn't built on Babe Ruth lines, and I never got further than thewaiting list for the second nine. So I turned from things I couldn't do to other more promising fields. The rest of my knowledge of baseball was acquired by observation. But baseball was interesting to me all through the seventies when Robert H. Treman was a star. But the interest waned slowly until today I wouldn't walk a hundred yards to see a modern scientific game. Is this due to the sapping of the springs of enthusiasm by advancing years? I think not; for I often stand for a long time beside green spots of the campus where unskilled enthusiasts play scrub with a big soft ball; and I think of the days when scores ran into the fifties andthere was something happening every few minutes. I'd go a long rough way to see and hear a game of two-old-cat, without an umpire, such as members of the Intercollegiate Cornell crews played near Saratoga Lake in 1875-76. Compare these games with a modern game with the score o to o at the end of the thirteenth inning, and with both teams, and the whole grandstand, tired out, and not a run made. Of course there are many who think that attainment and display of skill is the object of the game, instead of the making of runs. What then is theobject of an athletic game? My answer is: Health and fun. Hence, for me, approach toward perfection of play is accompanied by diminishing interest. A man in intercollegiate athletics as he gains in skill and power, loses inenthusiasm; and it is enthusiasm, —enjoyment—that makes the game contribute to health and the lifting of the spirit. ALUMNI CORPORATION DIRECTORS MEET The regular midwinter meeting of the Board of Directors of the Alumni Corporation was held in Ithaca on February 14. In the absence of President William W. Macon '98, who has been ill, VicePresident Frank G. Gardner '91, of Chicago, presided. Other directors present were Thomas I. S. Boak '14, Central New York District; C. Reeve Vanneman '03, Eastern New York; Douglas S. Dilts '17, Middle Atlantic; Creed W. Fulton '09, Southern; Conant Van Blarcom '08, Great Lakes; Mrs.Walter A. Calihan '05 and Dr. Floyd S. Winslow '06, directors-at-large; together with Foster M. Coffin Ί i , secretary, and Ray S. Ashbery, alumni field secretary. The luncheon in connection with the meeting was attended also by Louis C. Boochever '12., director of public information, and Harold Flack Ί z , executive secretary of the Cornellian Council. In accordance with its annual custom the Board took steps to increase the number of candidates in the field for Alumni Trustee. For the last several years the Board has constituted itself as an informal nominating committee and has each year been successful in increasing the number of candidates. Already in the field, for the two places to be rilled this June, are Frank E. Gannett '98, of Rochester, running for re-election, and Robert E. Treman '09, of Ithaca, nominated for the first time. Other business included the report of Mr. Boak as chairman of the Committee on Relations with Preparatory Schools, and the appointment of Hobart C. Young Ί o , of Philadelphia, as the committee in charge of the Moakley track trophies, which since 19x7 have been given each year by fifteen of the local clubs. The next convention of the Corporation, which under the recently amended by-laws will be held in the fall of 1932., was discussed, but no final action was taken as to location or other details. IN The Saturday Evening Post for January 2.4 William Hazlett Upson '14has a story called "We're Going to Rule the Lower Classes" andKenneth L. Roberts '08 tells " H o w I Don't Play Golf."
