The family, of New England Quaker stock, settled in De-Ruyter, Madison County, N.Y., in 1819, where Ezra’s father farmed and made pottery. Ezra learned something of both, as well as carpentry from his father, a former ship’s carpenter. At 18 he set out on his own and in 1828 he settled in Ithaca, N.Y., where he worked as a carpenter and millwright. His employment in building and maintaining flour mills there came to a close when they were converted to textile mills in 1841. Cornell’s interest in promoting a patent plow brought him into contact with the promoters of the Morse magnetic telegraph; from that time on he was involved in the telegraph industry organizing, building, and operating lines. He constructed lines which connected New York and Washington, Philadelphia and New York, New York and Albany, then turned to the Midwest to construct a network of lines connecting major points. Cutthroat competition in these early days of the industry led to the combination of many of the leading companies into Western Union Telegraph Company. The concern grew rapidly until it dominated the business in the United States and much of Canada. Cornell’s considerable personal fortune was the result of his involvement in such activities during the first 30 years of the industry. Once he had achieved great personal wealth, Cornell became concerned with public affairs. He financed the construction of a great public library in Ithaca and built and stocked a model farm. His interest in agricultural affairs led to his presidency of the State Agricultural Society. He was a leading member of the New York State Legislature during the 1860s, first as an assemblyman and subsequently as a senator. Here he became concerned with higher education. Cornell’s pledge of his farm as a site plus a half-million-dollar endowment was the essential step that led to the enactment of legislation to found Cornell University. The school opened in 1868. Thereafter Cornell took a keen interest in the university, bestowing sizable gifts and encouraging its adherence to some of his egalitarian ideas of education. The university’s freedom from religious ties, interest in the education of women, emphasis upon agricultural and engineering training, and interest in educational opportunities for poor students made it one of the more advanced educational institutions in America. Cornell, a frequent sight on campus, also carefully administered the disposition of the university’s Morrill Act land-grant, husbanding that unique resource and eventually producing substantial returns for the university. Cornell died in 1874. He was survived by his wife, Mary Anne Wood Cornell, and a son, Alonzo B. Cornell, later governor of New York. From: Gale Encyclopedia of Biography, Answers.com. Ezra Cornell W005, W007, W029, W360, W439 Andrew Dickson White Andrew Dickson White was born in Homer, N.Y., on Nov. 7, 1832. At the age of 17 he entered the Episcopal-oriented Geneva (Hobart) College in western New York, but he disliked it and after a year dropped out and entered Yale. Upon graduating in 1853, he and his friend Daniel Gilman went to Europe. White studied languages and history in Paris and Berlin, and during 1854-1855 he served for 473 6 months as an attaché to the American minister in St. Petersburg, Russia. In 1856 White received his master of arts degree from Yale and then accepted an offer to be professor of history at the nonsectarian University of Michigan. The young, innovative teacher was an immediate success. During his 6 years there he conceived of a new university for central New York that would be shorn of outworn traditions and would offer the broadest opportunities for study in higher education. When his father died in 1862, White returned to New York to handle the business affairs of his father’s bank. In 1864 he became a state senator, and in the New York Legislature he joined with another senator, Ezra Cornell, on the problem of utilizing the land grant of the Morrill Act (1862), which provided the state with the means of offering education in agriculture and mechanical arts. White fought to concentrate the Federal aid in one institution, and Cornell agreed to give $500, 000 and land for a site to bolster that aim. The result was Cornell University, officially inaugurated in October 1868, with White as its president. He retired from this post in 1885. During his years at Cornell, where White taught history as well as being chief administrator, he brought to reality his earlier concept of a nonsectarian, coeducational university where not only the classics but also modern subjects including science, agriculture, mechanical arts, and even military science would be taught - a place where every student could study just what interested him or her. White’s reforms in teaching and in the curriculum gained him national attention. White took a leave of absence from Cornell to serve as U.S. minister to Germany (1879-1881). After he retired from the university he served as U.S. minister to Russia (1892-1894) and U.S. ambassador to Germany (1897-1902). He was also minister to the Hague Peace Conference in 1899. He spent his later years in writing and influencing educational projects. He died on Nov. 4, 1918, in Ithaca, N.Y. From: Gale Encyclopedia of Biography, Answers.com. W008 & W016 Burt Green Wilder Dr. Burt G. Wilder Dies. Was One of Best Known Men of University’s Original Staff. Dr. Burt Green Wilder, zoologist and educator, one of the great figures connected with the early days of Cornell, died on January 21 near Newton Center, Massachusetts. He had been in poor health for some time. A pupil and assistant of Louis Agassiz, Dr. Wilder came to Cornell at the time of its opening through the recommendation of the great biologist. He built up the Department of Neurology and Vertebrate Zoology, until its fame spread far beyond the university, and Professor Wilder himself became known internationally for his scientific work. For over forty years he continued to lecture, retiring in 1910 as an emeritus professor. Dr. Wilder was also one of the members of the early Faculty best known to Ithacans, his searches for cats and other animals to be used in the laboratory bringing 474 him into prominence, while the arrival of dead lions sent by express and other episodes of the kind caused more than one diversion in the life of the town. Dr. Wilder was born in Boston on August 11, 1841, the son of David and Ciela Colton Burt Wilder. He received his B. S. summa cum laude in anatomy from Lawrence Scientific School, Harvard, in 1862, and the degree of M. D. four years later. After serving as a surgeon with the 55th Massachusetts Infantry (colored) during the Civil War, Dr. Wilder was for two years an assistant in comparative anatomy at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, and in 1867-8 curator of herpetology for the Boston Society of Natural History. In 1868 he came to Cornell as professor of neurology and vertebrate zoology, and devoted the best part of his life to the institution. The following quotation from one of former President Andrew D. White’s letters shows how much he appreciated Dr. Wilder’s work. “He came to us at the very beginning and has borne the burden and heat of the day ever since, working with a devotion to science, to his students, to the University, and to all truth as it presents itself to him in a way which has entitled him to the gratitude, love, and respect of us all. Not least among the services he has rendered has been his promotion of cheerfulness and hope in the early dark and difficult days of the University organization.” Dr. Wilder’s pupils remember him as a wonderful teacher. They recall his habit of urging his students to strive in composition for “clearness, consistency, correctness, conciseness, and completeness.” These he called his five c’s. About 1871, Louis Agassiz enlisted Professor Wilder’s cooperation in making a series of preparations of the brains and embryos of domestic animals for the Museum of Comparative Anatomy in Cambridge, and from that time on Dr. Wilder made neurology his special study. He prepared nearly two thousand vertebrate brains, including thirteen from educated persons. The list also comprises the brain of the famous criminal, Ruloff, and of the almost equally famous elephant, Jumbo. Among the exploits of the great scientist which astonished the public of his day, was the feat of reeling 150 yards of silk from a spider which has since been identified as Nephila Clavipes. In 1865 silk from these spiders was woven into ribbon on a steam loom. The account of their habits published in the Atlantic in August 1866, was the only article ever illustrated by that magazine. Dr. Wilder advocated the simplification of anatomic nomenclature, the dissection of the cat as a prerequisite to that of a man, and the objective study of the brain in primary schools, beginning with the brain of the acanth shark. He was an advocate of temperance as distinguished from total abstinence, and a violent opponent of smoking. He favored the use of chloroform in capital punishment. The Wilder Quarter-Century Book comprising papers prepared for the occasion by 15 former pupils, the first American Festschrift, was presented at the 25th anniver- sary of the opening of the University.

Professor L. A. Wait. Lucien Augustus Wait, professor of mathematics, emeritus, died at Clifton Springs, N. Y., on September 6. He had spent the summer at Lake Mohonk, and had gone to Clifton Springs to consult a physician. His illness was not thought to be serious till a short time before he died. Professor Wait had been a member of the Cornell faculty since 1870. He was born at Highgate, Vermont, on February 8, 1846. He was educated at Phillips Exeter Academy and Harvard College, where he received the degree of A.B. in 1870. In the same year he was appointed assistant professor of mathematics at Cornell. He was made an associate professor in 1877, and a professor in 1891. From 1895, when Professor Oliver died, until he retired in 1910, Professor Wait was at the head of the department of mathematics. In 1873-4 he had served as United States consul at Athens and the Piraeus. He was the last to survive of the three Cornell professors of mathematics, Oliver, Wait, and Jones, whose text-books were known to students of the seventies and eighties as the “O. W. J.” algebra, etc. Professor Jones died in 1911. Soon after he came to Ithaca 475 desire to place on record their high estimate of his services to the cause of education and sound learning. Called in 1870 to an Assistant Professorship in the Department of Mathematics in the third year of its history, fresh from study at Harvard, he bore an important part in shaping the policy of the Department, and in establishing its wellknown high standards. His unusual ability as a teacher and organizer led to his promotion in 1877 to the Associate Headship of the Department, relieving Professor Oliver of much of the administrative work ; and he became sole head at Professor Oliver’s death in 1895. His administration has always been notable for efficiency, harmony, and devotion to high ideals of scholarship. In planning the mathematical instruction, he has kept steadily in view its various aims and purposes, including intellectual discipline, preparation for the scientific professions or for work in pure science, and the training of teachers and investigators. How well he has succeeded in the difficult task of holding an even balance among the diverse interests is well- known to all who have had any personal concern in the matter. On the disciplinary side, he has been careful to have the instruction of every grade placed upon a sound logical basis; on the scientific side, while keeping in close touch with the related departments in the College of Arts countries.

While firm in enforcing the rules and standards of the Department, his unfailing courtesy is proverbial; and his qualities as a teacher and a man have gained him the warm regard of a long line of Cornell alumni, and of the Faculty and Trustees, many of whom are numbered among his former students. A man of ripe and varied culture, Professor Wait has taken a deep interest in all the educational problems which have come up before the Faculty, and his accustomed attitude has exhibited a fine blending of the progressive and the conservative. We shall miss his genial presence from our meetings, but we hope he may long remain a member of our University community. Bayard Taylor was born to Joseph and Rebecca Way Taylor on January 11, 1825, in the village of Kennett Square. At that time, the predominately Quaker village was only a crossroads with a few dwellings, including a tavern, a hotel, and the stone-plastered building of two-and-a-half stories where the Taylors lived. Bayard Taylor was named in honor of the esteemed Delaware senator James A. Bayard. Bayard’s mother had taught him to read at age four, and early in his life, he found his real refuge in books, never tiring of reading poetry and books about the countries he longed to visit. Bayard was a curious and voracious reader as a child, and by the time he finished his formal schooling and tutoring in 1842, Bayard knew that he wanted to be a poet.

On his return to America, he was advised to collect them into a book, which was published in 1846 as Views A-foot, or, Europe Seen with a Knapsack and Staff, with a preface by N. P. Willis. From the beginning, it was extremely popular, going through twenty-four editions within thirteen years. After his return from Europe, Bayard wished to marry and settle down with Mary S. Agnew, who had been his sweetheart since their early school days. Despite the objections of her parents, who thought Bayard lacked secure employment, Bayard and Mary became engaged soon after Bayard returned to Kennett Square. Immediately, Bayard began looking for employment that would provide a fixed income sufficient for him to marry. After a failed attempt at newspaper publishing, he went to New York in late November or December 1847. There, he obtained editorial work at the offices of the New York Tribune and Union Magazine. While working at the Union Magazine Bayard was visited by Horace Greeley, publisher of the Tribune. Greeley said to Bayard, “Now you must do something for this young man. His name is Thoreau. He lives in a shanty at Walden Pond, near Concord, on $37.21 a year, and he must be encouraged.” Bayard read the manuscript, Katahdin, and the Maine Woods, and persuaded Greeley to pay Thoreau seventy-five dollars for it. Unfortunately Bayard’s good intentions were overshadowed by an editorial mistake that brought immense indignation from Thoreau. While in New York, he continued to write, and in December, 1848, published Rhymes of Travel, Ballads and Poems, which was approvingly criticized by Edgar Allan Poe, who enjoyed the “glowing imagination and sonorous well-balanced rhythm…” In June, 1849, Bayard sailed to California via the Isthmus of Panama in order to report on the gold rush for the Tribune. During the next five months, Bayard visited San Francisco and the mines of the Mokelumne River, Stockton, the Sonoma Valley, and Sacramento. An account of his experiences in California was published in May 1850 under the title Eldorado, or Adventures in the Path of Empire. This book has proven to be Bayard’s most enduring work. Many letters passed between Bayard and Mary Agnew during this period of separation, their marriage having been twice postponed because of Mary’s health problems. When Bayard visited her upon his return from California, he found her greatly weakened, and realized that their time together would be short. With this knowledge, they were married at her home on October 24, 1850 in the presence of her parents and his mother. Within two months, on Saturday, December 21st, Mary died of complications due to tuberculosis. Bayard found it difficult to write after the death of his wife and began to consider the possibility of traveling again. After a short period of grief, he departed Philadelphia on August 22, 1851 with his brother William. They arrived in Liverpool and traveled to London and then the 477 continent, parting company in Vienna. From November 4, 1851 to April 14, 1852, Bayard traveled through Egypt with August Bufleb, a wealthy German of forty-five, whom he met in December. They shared adventures and became good friends on a trip that was full of good fortune and camaraderie. After he departed Egypt, he journeyed to Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Asia Minor, finally arriving in Constantinople. While in Constantinople, Bayard learned that he would be traveling to the Far East on assignment for the Tribune. He journeyed throughout India, and then went on to China, touching at Singapore, and arriving at Hong Kong on March 16, 1853. In 1853, he received an appointment as master’s mate in the United States Navy in order to travel to Japan with Commodore Perry on the U.S.S. Mississippi. This trip resulted in A Visit to India, China and Japan, in the Year 1853. Bayard found on his return from the Orient, that through the Tribune letters, his name had become widely known. Invitations to lecture poured in, and a new and prosperous career opened before him. His unusual experiences and engaging stage manner made him a popular speaker. The next few years were spent in lecturing, writing of his Eastern adventures, and revising the books he had already published. In July 1856, he departed New York once again for Europe in order to travel through the northern countries and gather material for a future book. On December 6, 1856 Bayard arrived in Stockholm, Sweden, and after a week, departed for a two-month tour of Lapland and the Arctic regions. Bayard writes in his journal that the temperature was minus 47 at noon on January 28, 1857. Before continuing his northern travels, he briefly visited Germany and England. While in England, he spent two days with Alfred Lord Tennyson. Bayard and Tennyson spent their time together discussing poetry, religion, politics, and geology. After this brief visit, Bayard joined his friend August Bufleb in Norway, were they spent the summer traveling together. The experiences of these trips, sent back to the Tribune as letters, formed the basis of his book, Northern Travel: Summer and Winter Pictures of Sweden, Denmark and Lapland, which appeared in the fall of 1857. After Bayard’s trip to Norway he returned to Gotha, were he to Bufleb’s home in Gotha, were he became acquainted with Mrs. Bufleb’s niece, Marie Hansen. In June 1857, they became engaged, and on October 27, 1857, they were married. That winter, they made a trip to Greece, a place he longed to visit. He and his wife returned to Gotha in the spring of 1858 to await the birth of a daughter, Lilian, and on October 1, 1858, the family sailed for America. After settling the family, Bayard departed on a lecture tour to obtain money to begin the building of Cedarcroft , his future country estate north of Kennett Square. The estate was finished in the summer of 1860, and was dedicated with great celebration on Saturday, August 18, 1860 with a produc- Taylors departed once again for Europe on June 6, 1872, tion of a comedy, Love at a Hotel, written by Bayard and they had decided to give up Cedarcroft.

Goldwin Smith, professor of English history (emeritus) in Cornell University and one of the earliest and most potent friends this University had, died on Tuesday afternoon, June 7, at his home, The Grange, in Toronto, Canada. Since February, when his thigh bone was broken by a fall, he had been confined to his bed. At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, held on the afternoon of Dr. Smith’s From: The Cornell Era, Vol. 11, No. 13, Jan 1879, p. 146. death, President Schurman was appointed to represent W012, W506 & W595 William Channing Russel the University at the funeral. Professor Hiram Corson also attended the funeral, which was held in Convocation Hall, Toronto University, on Saturday afternoon. The Obituary Record. William Channing Russel. Prof. William Channing Russel, LL. D., long Vice President of Cornell University, and for some time its Acting Presi- dent, died at his home in Yonkers yesterday. Dr. Russel was born in Boston, on Feb. 23, 1814, and was a nephew of William Ellery Channing, after whom he was named. Graduating from Columbia College, with a degree of A. M., in 1832, he studied at the Harvard Law School, and then entered on the practice of law in New-York City, where he remained until the civil war. At the close of the war he was called from a position in the Freedman’s Bureau to the Chair of History in the College of Horace Mann, at Antioch, Ohio. On the organization of Cornell University, in 1868, Dr. Russel was one of the first men selected for its Faculty, being made Professor of South Eu- ropean Languages and Associate Professor of History. To these duties he added, a year or two later, those of the Vie Presidency, a post which he held until his retirement, in 1881, officiating during the long foreign absences of Presi- dent White as Acting President of the University. After leaving Cornell, he filled for two years, (1881-83,) during the absence abroad of Prof. (now President) Andrews, the Chair of History at Brown University. Prof. Russel was a man of great power as a teacher of history. His clearness and terseness, his keen political sense, his ready irony, his wonderful knack of questioning and cross-questioning, will long be remembered by those whose good fortune it was to be under his instruction. In his class in English and American constitutional history he introduced, 479 Armory flag was placed at half mast and Goldwin Smith Hall and the portraits of Goldwin Smith in the University Library were draped in mourning. The great bell in the Library tower was tolled at the hour of the funeral. President Schurman expressed the University’s sorrow in a statement which was given to the press on Wednesday. He said in part: “In the death of Goldwin Smith Cornell University loses one of its most devoted friends, its oldest emeritus professor, and the most illustrious scholar who ever sat in its faculty. He came to Cornell University as professor at its opening in the fall of 1868 from the oldest university in the English-speaking world—Oxford, where after a distinguished career of scholarship he had held the Regius professorship of history—and his great reputation as a man of letters, an historian, and a publicist at once reflected lustre upon our new and struggling University. “Mr. Goldwin Smith more than once told me that no event in his life gave him more satisfaction than his participation in the founding of Cornell University. A generation ago, when the institution was the object of cruel attacks, he stood on this campus and defended both its founder and its management, while at the same time, dark and hopeless as the outlook then was, he prophesied for it a bright and glorious future. Ί believe he said, ‘it will be a great and good institution, and one which any man will feel it an honor to serve. I have believed it an honor to serve it. My affections for it are unchanged. My hopes for it are unabated.’” After speaking of Dr. Smith as the friend of the American Republic and as the friend and champion of democracy, liberty and peace among the nations, Presi- the titles of his published works are: Irish History and Irish dent Schurman said: “Goldwin Smith was the exponent Character; Lectures on Modern History; Rational Religion and exemplar of the highest culture of the nineteenth and the Rationalistic Objections to the Bampton Lectures for century.

During the American Civil War he was an active champion of the North. He visited the United States in 1865. In 1868, impelled partly by the death of his father, which forced him to give up his Oxford professorship, and partly by a desire to study and write the history of America, he came to this country to live. At the invitation of Andrew D. White he accepted the professorship of English history at the new Cornell University. He was in residence at Cornell from the opening of the University in 1868 until 1872. Since then he had lived in Canada, returning to Ithaca every year, until his age prevented, to deliver a course of lectures. In 1875 he married Mrs. Harriet (Dixon) Boulton, of Toronto. She died in September, 1909- At Toronto his home was The Grange, an old English house set in a park which occupied a whole city block. Here he studied and wrote. He was a prominent exponent of the idea that Canada is destined to merge her political life in that of the United States. Dr. Smith published many books. For two generations he was a leader of thought in newspapers and magazines. His last visit to Cornell was in 1904, when he laid the corner stone of the Goldwin Smith Hall of the Humanities.

His death was not unexpected, although he had recovered from a severe illness in the winter. His son, Eugene Rollin Corson ’75, of Savannah, Georgia, was with him when he died. Professor Corson was born in Philadelphia on November 6, 1828. His earliest instruction was received in his own home, from his father, a mathematician of exceptional ability, and it was not till he was fifteen years old that he was sent to school. For five years he studied in private schools near Philadelphia, distinguishing himself in mathematics and in Latin and Greek. He had studied stenography and in 1849 he became an official reporter of the United States Senate, for a time serving also as secretary to Senator Lewis Cass. But he showed his bent for books a year afterward when he became connected with the library of the Smithsonian Institution. There, during six or seven years, aided by his connection with the library, he gave his leisure time to indulging what was becoming his strongest interest, the study of the English, French and German literatures. In 1854 he married Miss Caroline Rollin, a lady of French birth and European education, and in 1859 he returned with his family to Philadelphia. There seems to have been in that city at that time a group of persons whose bookish tastes attracted the young Corson. He was a leading member of the Philadelphia Shakespeare Society, in which Dr. Horace Howard Furness received his first great impulse to the study of Shakespeare, and for several years he was a public lecturer on English literature and kindred themes. His fame extended beyond his own circle of friends, and in 1864 Princeton University conferred upon him its degree of Master of Arts. In the following year Girard College elected him to its chair of moral science, history and rhetoric. This chair carried with it the office of vice-president of the college, and Professor Corson, finding the duties too burdensome, resigned it after a single year to accept the more congenial professorship of rhetoric and English literature in St. John’s College at Annapolis. It was while there, in 1870, a scholar in his prime, that he accepted the invitation of Cornell University to its chair of rhetoric and oratory, succeeding Professor Homer Baxter Sprague, who had accepted the presidency of Adelphi Academy. Professor Corson found that at Cornell, with no assistant, the whole burden of instruction in English composition, oratory and literature was too much for him, and after a year, on the recommendation of President White, an additional professorship was created, and Charles Chauncy Shackford was appointed professor of rhetoric and general literature, Professor Corson taking in 1872 the professorship of Anglo-Saxon, English literature and oratory. Before long ho was relieved, at his own wish, of the elementary instruction in Anglo-Saxon, and the instruction in oratory was made a separate department, leaving him free to give all his time to the work he liked best and for which he was nobly fitted—the reading and interpretation of the great works of English literature. For a brief time after the retirement of Professor Shackford in 1886 he assumed supervision of the department of rhetoric, but the coming of Professor James Morgan Hart in 1890 freed him finally from that part of the instruction in English which was less to his taste. St. John’s College conferred the degree of Doctor of Laws upon him in 1878, and in 1903 Princeton gave him the degree of Doctor of Letters. Mrs. Corson died in 1901. In 1903 Professor Corson, having reached the age of seventy-five years, retired from active teaching. He was appointed professor emeritus and lecturer on English literature, and until he was more than eighty years old he gave an occasional public reading. His last public appearance on the campus was at the Milton tercentenary celebration in December, 1908. On Dr. Corson’s eightieth birthday his colleagues of the Faculty gave him a loving cup, and Dr. Andrew D. White made the address of presentation. He said: “For forty years your professor’s chair has been a center of ennobling ideas, and for 481 more than thirty years of this period there have radiated from your lecture room at Cornell University influences which have bettered and strengthened your students, your colleagues and the community at large. “Nor has your work been merely academic. Your teachings have wrought profoundly at other centers of thought: wherever earnest men and women have gathered to study the most precious treasures of our literature, whether in the mother country or our own, you, by your voice or your writings, have been a power for good. “Especially happy has been your teaching, both in itself and as an example. Having watched its development in this university, from its beginning until now, I cannot forbear expressing my joy as I reflect upon your influence as a scholar, a teacher a public reader, and as exercising the subtle charm of illuminating and inspiring conversation. You have never favored pedantry. Your interpretations of the great masters of our literature have made them not mere dried specimens to be buried in note books, but vitalizing forces ministering to what is best in the building of character. Your commentaries have resulted not merely from minute studies of verbal niceties, but far more from broad surveys of general literature, ancient and modern: living studies for living men and women.” Among the books Professor Corson wrote were Chaucer’s Legende of Goode Women, with introduction and notes, 1863; An Elocutionary Manual, 1864; Address on Occasion of Induction as Professor of Moral Science, History and Rhetoric in Girard College, March 29, 1865; The Satires of Juvenal, with a literal translation, 1868; HandBook of Anglo-Saxon and Early English, 1871; Syllabus of a Course of Lectures on the English Language and Literature, 1873-1876; Jottings on the Text of Hamlet, 1874; The University of the Future, 1875; The Claims of Literary Culture, 1875; The Idea of Personality and of Art as an Agency of Personality, as embodied in Browning’s Poetry, 1882; The Two Voices and A Dream of Fair Women, by Lord Tennyson, with biography and a general introduction and notes, 1882; An Introduction to the Study of Robert Browning’s Poetry, 1886; An Introduction to the Study of Shakespeare, 1889; A Primer of English Verse, chiefly in its aesthetic and organic character, 1892; The Aims of Literary Study, 1895; The Voice and Spiritual Education, 1896; Selections from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, with introduction, notes and glossary, 1896; An Introduction to the Prose and Poetical Works of John Milton, 1899. In 1901 he edited Mrs. Corson’s translation of Pierre Janet’s The Mental State of Hystericals. He was a spiritualist and a mystic, and believed firmly that he held communication with the spirits of his dead friends. His last book, now on the press, was a collection of such messages. Dr. Corson was recognized not only at Cornell as a great interpreter of literature. His books on Shakespeare and Browning were widely read and received high recognition abroad. His writings won him the friendship of Tennyson and of Browning. He founded two prizes at Cornell —one for the best competitive essay on Robert Browning and the other, established in memory of his wife, for the best competitive essay on a subject in French literature or philology. Professor Corson’s funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon of this week in Sage Chapel, and the burial was in the city cemetery. the firm of Cox & Son, London. One reads as follows: “In memory of Evan Wilhelm Evans, M. A. (Yale), born 1827, died 1874, who, from 1868, filled with great ability and fidelity the chair of Mathematics in this University and who was also distinguished for his profound knowledge of Celtic Philology.” From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 13, No. 37, Jun 1911, pp. 438-440. W015 Evan Wilhelm Evans The Evans Lectures are named for Evan William Evans, the first professor appointed at Cornell, a mathematician and college friend of A. D. White. The lectures are intended for an audience of mathematics faculty and graduate students, to bring them together to share in the excitement of mathematical research. The Evans Lectures are made possible through the generosity of an anonymous donor. Evan William Evans was born in 1827 in Wales. His family emigrated to America soon after his birth. In 1851 he graduated from Yale University, where he made the acquaintance of Andrew Dickson White. After graduating from Yale he served as Instructor in Mathematics at Yale. He later became Professor at Marietta College in Ohio. In February 1867, White recruited Evans to head Cornell’s Department of Mathematics and Engineering. He was among the first group of faculty at Cornell. He held the post until a few months before his death in 1874. James Oliver (of Oliver Club fame and himself a student of Benjamin Pierce at Harvard) described Evans as “a man of few words but of remarkably sound and independent judgement that carried great weight in the faculty councils, and as an acute and thorough student, a philosophical and original thinker, a firm and loyal friend… Characteristic of his instruction or policy were: the remarkable power of concentration with which he would follow others’ work without using his eyes, his uniform preference for oral above written examinations, and his habit of taking a calculus class over the same ground with two successive authors for the sake of the cross-light” Evans was also a scholar of Cymric literature and philology and has been described in this area as “having no superior in the United States.” He wrote treatises on “the oil and mineral region of southeastern Ohio” and “Primary elements of plane and solid geometry” and an article titled “On the path and velocity of the Guernsey county meteor of May 1st.” Remarkably enough, the name of Evan William Evans is present to this day somewhere in Malott Hall (with a slightly different spelling)!

King”, by Joaquin Miller, published in 1894. George W. King, the leading medical practitioner of Marysville, Montana, descended from one of the pioneer families of Vermont, his ancestors having located in that State previous to the Revolutionary war. The paternal grandfather served with Washington in that struggle and participated in the hardships endured by the patriot soldiers at Valley Forge. The father of our subject, Cyrus W. King, was also born in Vermont. He married Miss Louisa E. Duncan, a native of Quebec, Canada, and a daughter of James Duncan, an early settler of that province and founder of the village of Chrysastum. He resided there until his death, which occurred at the age of seventy-four years. Mr. and Mrs. King had ten children, six sons and four daughters, nine of whom still survive. The father lived to a good old age, and the mother is still living, aged eighty-seven years. George W.

The following letter, W088 & W089 Lynde Palmer Former Oarsman Passes. On or about November 20, 1936, Lynde Palmer ’78 died at his home in Plattsburg. Lynde Palmer spent much of his early boyhood on or near Chateaugay Lake in northeastern New York. He learned to row soon after he learned to walk. It was natural, therefore, that when he entered Cornell in September, 1874, and found that his (Freshman) Class was organizing a six-oared crew for the Gluck Cup, he was interested; in fact he rowed No. 1 (bow oar) in that crew. The race was rowed north, by the east shore of Cayuga Lake, with a crowded trainload of enthusiastic spectators rolling alongside. The race started in fairly smooth water, which grew steadily rougher, so that the crews of ’75, ’76, and ’77 swamped and waded ingloriously ashore; while ’78, in a more seaworthy shell, crossed the finish line rowing with five oars, while Lynde Palmer held triumphantly aloft the stub of his broken oar.

When this crew won the intercollegiate freshman race, most unexpectedly, Palmer was the first man to cross a winning line for Cornell. It was the news of this victory that sent President Andrew D. White, bareheaded, up into McGraw Tower to jangle the chimes to express his joy. The next year at Saratoga Lynde Palmer was substitute Varsity No. 1. Though Palmer was a good student, he only stayed at Cornell two years. Afterward, for several years, he was a successful cattle man in the Middle West, and then engaged in Pacific Coast lumber business, finally becoming Eastern representative of one of the greatest of the lumber companies. When John Ostrom ’77 and Lynde Palmer ’78 and Albert W. Smith ’78 were the only living members of the rowing squad of ’75, together they took “A Sentimental Journey” (Alumni News, May 13, 1926) to Saratoga and the Lake where they had rowed long ago.

While in college he was a member of the Theta Delta Chi fraternity. He was a member of the victorious Cornell Varsity crew at Saratoga Lake in 1875. He married Jeannie Mead Treman. 1806. He was engaged for several years in the manufacture of agricultural implements under the firm name of Treman, Waterman & Co. at Ithaca. At the time of his death the Ithaca Daily Journal said of him: “He was not only a close student while in the University but a fine athlete as well, and much of the credit of the Cornell crew’s famous victories at Saratoga was due to his prowess, he pulling bow oar in those memorable contests. Some of his friends are of the opinion that his early physical decline was attributable to his overexertion in those races. After finishing his studies, Mr. Waterman became interested in business here as a member of the firm of Treman, Waterman & Co.” He died March 10, 1891, at Pittsford, Vt.

White On Athletics, By A. W. S. ’78. In 1875 and ’76 the Cornell oarsmen rowed in six oared shells, and the bow oarsman steered; his right foot being held in a stirrup that controlled the rudder. In the season of 1875, John Sayles Waterman, on Cayuga Lake, and later on Saratoga Lake won a reputation for steering courses that would make an arrow envious. At the end of this season, after Cornell had won the freshman and varsity intercollegiate races, after the smoke of the fireworks of the Ithaca celebration had cleared, after the joyful sound of the chimes that President White helped to ring had faded to silence, John Waterman’s father and mother felt that it would be better for John to give up rowing; not that it had interfered with his University work, which was always well done, but because, in a small Rhode Island village they could not understand the enthusiasm for rowing, and wondered if it was wholesome for a young man. This discussion came to the ears of President White, who thereupon wrote a letter to father Waterman. This letter has been carefully preserved by Mrs. Jennie Treman Waterman and is now a valued possession of John Waterman’s grandson, John Treman Mann, a freshman in the College of Architecture, and a candidate for the Freshman Crew. The Cornell University, President’s Rooms, Ithaca, N. Y. April 5, 1876. Dear Sir: It was with exceeding regret that I learned of your objection to your son’s taking a position on the University crew at the next contest. Mr. Ostrom informs me that his leaving destroys almost certainly the chances of the Cornell Crew and I trust that I may be pardoned for a natural desire that our young men should again bear off the palm of this contest as they have at the two Intercollegiate contests in scholarship and at the athletic contests last year. But, deeply as my pride is enlisted in this matter, did I suppose that entering for this contest would injure your son in any way whatever, I would not think of suggesting a reconsideration of your decision in the matter. It is only because I am satisfied that in no respect will it injure him, but in some respects be a benefit to him, that I write this letter. I feel sure that your opposition is based upon some misapprehension of the subject. I have had, myself, a large experience as a student at two colleges in this country and two Universities abroad, and as a Professor in two of the largest Universities in this country, and I assure you that the dangers to students do not arise in any considerable degree from matters of this sort. On the contrary I regard the stimulus given to healthy, manly exercise by contests of this kind as one of the greatest safeguards against the lounging, easy-going, billiard playing and fast horse driving habits into which so many of the more scholarly men fall. First, as regards loss of time from study: my own experience at 488 Yale College and our own University as well as what I can learn from your son and others who have engaged in boating shows me that any thoughtful, studious man really loses nothing in the long run, by giving much attention to physical training and even by entering contests of this kind. In my observation what there is of a man in a student is brought out in such contests to such a degree as to more than make up for the apparent small loss of time from attention to books. Next, as to its effect on health; I have found in my possession, and will gladly put into your hands if you desire it, a very careful work by an English Scientific man, containing careful statistics as to the health of all the students at Oxford and Cambridge in England who have taken part in the famous rowing contests there for forty years. The author of this book took pains in the case of every student in the contesting crews, during all that time, to find either from the student himself, or from his physician, family and friends, all particulars regarding his after health and career in life. So far from the contestants having been injured by rowing, the average health was much better than that of graduates generally. So also has been their average length of life. And what is still more remarkable, those very diseases of the heart and lungs which, it is popularly supposed, are created or aggravated by the exertion of a close contest, were shown to average far below the usual rate as shown by the medical statistics of those Universities and of England in general. In the next place as to the success in life of those engaged in these contests, it seems to me to have been promoted by the energy and vigor stimulated in them, rather than to have been injured. Among those who have rowed in the successful crews are a surprising proportion of the leading men in English Church and State. Men who have been marked by their healthful energy and vigor in public positions. As I look back upon my own college life I find confirmation of this. I was graduated in a class of 107 at Yale College, and the boat club to which I belonged was the first that ever sent a challenge for a contest to Harvard College; and as I now look over the names of my classmates who are distinguishing themselves in various directions, I am struck by the fact that the fact fact that the boating men stand very high. So far from boating having injured them it has certainly done them good. Instead of lounging during their leisure time, they went to the water, took their oars, rowed out into the stream, and thus got what American students so sadly lack, manly physical exercise in the open air. As you are possibly aware, I was by no means robust; on the contrary I have always been delicate in health; but all the fatigues of rowing did me no harm; and so far from injuring my studies, whatever success I had in College was largely due to the fact that I was enabled by this kind of exercise to keep my health up to a proper point. I consider the time laid out in this as time thoroughly well spent. [Continued on page 29$ I have told your son that on no account John Waterman steered the Cornell Varsity shell to a should he think of going counter to your wishes in this victorious finish. matter; but he tells me that he thinks your main objection is to his forming a taste for rowing exercise and for the society into which that will throw him. As to his forming From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 33, No. 24, Apr 1931, pp. 289 & 293. a taste for rowing exercise, I think I may speak all the W088 & W089 Daniel Otis Barto more freely to you since my advice to you coincides with my course in regard to my own son who is about to enter college. By all means in my power I have encouraged him to take his exercise in boating; partly for the reasons given above, but partly because it seems to me that it is a simple, manly, inexpensive taste which is most likely to draw him away from less worthy ways of spending leisure time. I shall be heartily glad if he develops no worse hobby, and gets into no worse company than his boating will afford him. There is also another consideration which, though it may not be so easily seen is none the less real. I allude to the fact that such training and thoroughness and exercise of skill as is required in preparing for one of these contests is a discipline of great value to any young man. It teaches him the necessity of self-denial, self-restraint, regular exercise, regular habits; it shows him more clearly than all the lectures and sermons in the world, the fact that temperance, self-control and careful management of one’s self, secure health, strength and vigor. In closing permit me to repeat that not to win any contests would I endanger the physical, or moral or intellectual welfare of any student of all the 500 entrusted to us. But it seems to me, in this case, that a great service can be rendered to the University without harm to your son; but on the contrary with good results to him and I sincerely hope that you will reconsider your decision. To be again successful in bringing his boat in first will give your son a legitimate place among the thoughtful, earnest athletic young men of the country. With him there is no doubt that our young University will be again successful; without him it is more than doubtful. I have labored hard during the best years of my life to build up this institution, making some sacrifices and relinquishing much that most men care for. As you are aware, we have been subjected to attacks on account of what we consider necessary reforms in education, and valuable steps in educational progress. Every success, whether in contests of mind and muscle, forces upon the attention of the American people the fact that our system produces men sound morally, intellectually, and physically, and is the only adequate reward which some of us, who have struggled on here to accomplish this result, will ever receive, I sincerely hope that you will reconsider your decision. I will keep an eye upon your son and will do everything in my power to have his career prove that these contests have not injured him. I remain very respectfully and truly yours, Andrew D. White. Dictated. Mr. W. W. Waterman, Esq. This appeal must have been effective, for in the following intercollegiate race on Saratoga Lake, 489 Obituary. Daniel O. Barto ’77. Daniel Otis Barto died at Urbana, Ill., on January 18, after an illness of several months. He entered Cornell in 1873, and remained three years. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon, and rowed on the crews of 1875 and 1876, of which Acting President Smith was also a member. From 1880 to 1888 Barto was principal of the Ithaca High School, leaving Ithaca for California, and later teaching in the Roxbury Latin School. He returned to Ithaca in 1890, and again became principal of the High School, in 1893 taking up similar work in the State of Illinois. He was graduated from the University of Illinois late in life, and remained there as head of the department of poultry husbandry until his death. He was twice married. His first wife, who was Lola Dewey ’77, died in California in 1888. In 1892 Mr. Barto married Miss Lucy Murray ’92, who survives him, with two daughters, Harriet Thompson Barto, an instructor in nutrition in Teachers College, Columbia, and Margaret Murray Barto, an instructor in physical education in the University of Illinois. Just before his death he wrote, on December 8, to a classmate a letter from which extracts are given below: “If I was surprised at getting a letter from you I was also greatly pleased because of the chance to call a hello over the space of forty years and, as it happens in my case, to add a good-bye, for I am now in my easy chair waiting for the call which I am promised will come within a few weeks to cross over. About three years ago, after sixty-five years of perfect health and a very happy active life, my physician informed me that a cancer had fastened its grip upon me and that a year would probably bring the end here. ’From the experience of my acquaintances who have met this most dreaded disease I preferred to make no fight but use whatever time was granted me as peacefully and usefully as I could. My case has surprised my friends and the doctor in that its progress has been so slow and so peaceful. I have been able to go on with my university work, as director of my department, and last September was reappointed for another term; so I am to be permitted to reach the end with the harness on. But I realize that the end is very close and if I am wearing the harness I have ceased to pull any load. I can only attribute the slow progress of the disease to the effects of the old rowing days, which helped give me a strong, sound body that has resisted so stubbornly. Another surprise has been that I have not found this experience so terrible. With the comforts of my home and the care of my family I have never found the pain more than I could bear quietly, and the pleasure that my reading and visits With my friends, both those here and the old ones who have gone ahead—I am not a terian Hospital in Chicago, Ill., January 30.

And more and more as I draw nearer has my conviction strengthened that existence on the other side must be a continuance of the life here with all its interests, all we loved still possessing us and lived under the conditions more perfect. I had no thought when I began of imposing all this on you. I hope age hasn’t made me a garrulous old man. But I know there is a common interest in the experiences of our friends as we reach the years when we know that the same things are just ahead for us all. You probably don’t look just as I recall you, but your face and voice and my liking for you are still very distinct. Maybe,—I hope— sometime we may meet and continue what we enjoyed here. But I imagine I hear you saying, ‘I don’t remember Barto as being such a talker.’ Good-bye.” President Smith writes of Professor Barto as follows: “I was associated with Professor Barto in the intimate relation of membership in the varsity crew that rowed at Saratoga in 1876. We used habitually to take our light walking exercise together and thus we had opportunity for interchange of ideas upon all subjects. I have never known a man of finer character or of higher ideals of life; and with all his serious earnestness there was a deep sense of humor that showed in the sparkling eye and the ready smile. His sympathy was unfailing and he was always mindful of the feelings and rights of others. He was a modern knight, without fear and without reproach.” From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 23, No. 37, Jun 1921, p. 470. From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 40, No. 17, Feb 1938, p. 232. John Nelson Ostrom, ’77. By Albert W. Smith ’78. One who helped in the building of Cornell University is dead. He was a member of the first Cornell crew to row in an intercollegiate race. This race was rowed in 1873, in June, on the Connecticut River at Springfield. Cornell finished fifth. The next year the intercollegiate race was rowed on Saratoga Lake. Cornell again finished fifth. John Ostrom grew tired of finishing fifth. He had done his utmost to win with his muscles; meanwhile he kept up a constant wise thinking about how to finish first. In the fall of 1874 he got full control. He studied the English stroke of Oxford and Cambridge and developed the “Ostrom stroke.” He selected much lighter men as better fitted for six-oared shells without coxwains. His choice of oarsmen was based not only upon physique but upon character. He prescribed a generous, plain training diet; and for exercise outside the boat he favored games like “two old cat” with a soft ball; games that gave physical enjoyment, that stirred the spirit of fun, that strengthened friendship. In undertaking the guidance of Cornell rowing in September, 1874, he found great lack of enthusiasm for crews with a habit of finishing fifth. Money for the sport came grudgingly, or not at all. Then John Ostrom put on his thinking cap again. He went to Union Springs and challenged Charles Courtney to row a six-oared race at Ithaca. The challenge was accepted enthusiastically, and a Courtney crew was organized and trained. A fully loaded W088 & W089 John Lewis Obituary. John Lewis ’79. John Lewis died suddenly at his home in Springfield, Ill., on May 11. He received the degree of B. M. E. at Cornell in 1879, and was a member of Beta Theta Pi. He was captain of the ’78 freshman crew which, in 1875, at Saratoga, won the first rowing victory for Cornell. In 1876 he rowed at no. 5 in the varsity crew; he stroked the varsity crew in 1879, and rowed at no. 2 in the varsity crews of 1880 and 1881. He was regarded as one of Cornell’s most skillful oarsmen. For a number of years he had been with the Illinois Watch Company, of Springfield, Ill. regatta train watched this race. John Ostrom stroked his crew and won. Even the Freshman crew kept well in the race. Courtney told Ostrom afterward that he had never rowed so hard before. Enthusiasm flamed; money flowed freely. Even the Freshman crew was sent to Saratoga. And both crews won. The village of Ithaca and young Cornell went wild. President White, with some excited students, ran up into McGraw Tower and pumped the Chimes without regard to rhythm or melody, to express their enthusiasm. Dr. White said afterward that the winning of those races did more to bring the young Cornell University to the attention of the world than any efforts the Trustees could have made—financially or otherwise.

At one time it was considered necessary to replace one of the great bridges over the Mississippi river at St. Louis. Ostrom suggested that certain repairs, replacements, and strengthening of members would render the old bridge trustworthy. He was put in charge of the work. That was many years ago. It saved some millions of dollars. The bridge is in safe service today. He would never send a workman to any dangerous place on a bridge where he would not go himself. That was the kind of a man he was! The C.B.& Q. Railroad retired Ostrom, obeying unwillingly a company rule on age limit, but immediately appointed him consulting engineer, and thenceforward he made an annual inspection of all their important bridges. All through his life John Ostrom loved Cornell, and ever at Commencement time he came to “the Hill” to pay tribute to his Alma Mater. But now he will come no more.

During 1920-21, between Presidents Schurman and Farrand, the Trustees appointed Dean Smith Acting President of the University. As a Freshman, Albert Smith was a member of the first Cornell crew to win an intercollegiate race, at Saratoga in 1875, and he rowed in the Varsity boat that won the next year. He was president of his Senior Class, a member of Theta Delta Chi. He wrote textbooks on Machine Design and Materials of Machines, biographies of Professor John E. Sweet and of Walter C. Kerr ’79, a “character study,” Ezra Cornell, Bells of Cornell, Poems of Cornell, and had partially completed a new book of essays and poems, Glimpses of Cornell. Dean Smith was chairman of the Ithaca city commission which developed Stewart Park at the head of the Lake and was instrumental in establishing the Louis A. Fuertes bird sanctuary there.

Professor Hunn was graduated from Cornell in 1908, after which he went to the Experiment Station in Honolulu. In 1910 he married Jessie McCormick of California, who was then teaching in Hawaii. He transferred to the University of Puerto Rico in 1914, and returned to Cornell for graduate study in 1916. During the first world war he served as Registrar of the Cornell Aviation School and in 1920 he joined the staff of the Bureau of Plant Industry of the Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C.

Professor Hunn was a member of Lambda Chi Alpha and Pi Alpha Xi; was faculty adviser for the honorary fraternity, Scarab; and was co-founder, with Professor Hosmer, of the Hawaiian Club of Cornell University, in which he had a continuing and active interest. In these societies and in many other student, alumni, and horticultural activities Professor Hunn’s helpful participation will be greatly missed. Especially will he be missed by students of the University, because he always maintained an alert, understanding, and sympathetic interest in their athletic, social, and educational enterprises, and endeared himself to all of those with whom he came in contact.

At Redlands, Cal., on July 26, 1902, died Charles Kendall Adams, second president of Cornell University. He was still comparatively a young man, having been born January 24, 1835. All his life, except the last few years, he had been a strong man. But disease fastened its hold upon him, and for two years or more preceding his death he had sustained a constant struggle against ill health, a struggle cheered by occasional gleams of hope, but leading inevitably to defeat. For a quarter of a century Dr. Adams had been a national figure in educational circles. Except for his seven years service as president of Cornell, he had done his work in connection with the great state universities of Middle West, Michigan and Wisconsin. Born in New England, reared among pioneer conditions in Iowa, battling his own way to the best obtainable education, rising steadly to even higher position and larger influence, he illustrated in his life the most typical traits of American manhood. Dr. Adams’ active and varied career divides naturally along three lines of service, those of the teacher, the educational executive and the scholar and author. Notable as were his achievements in all these lines, they must be summarized here very briefly. As a teacher his fame rests on his organi- 498 zation and management of the department of history in the University of Michigan. In his period of foreign study he paid quite as much attention to the methods and organization of education as to the technicalities of his own specialty. Indeed he was all his life one of the best informed of Americans as to the achievements of other nations along educational lines. Succeeding Andrew D. White as professor of history at Michigan, he made the historical department of that institution notable in several respects. First of all, he introduced the seminary as an organization for aiding advanced students in research work. From his training in the seminary there came a goodly number of scholars who occupy, or have occupied, professorships of history in our best institutions. One of his most distinguished pupils told the writer some years ago that Dr. Adams inspired his students not so much by the brilliancy of his lectures as by the force of his own example of painstaking, untiring industry. “Whether you shall ever become scholars,” he used to tell his students, “depends chiefly upon the use that you make of your leisure.” And as they saw him toiling, hour after hour, day after day, with enthusiastic perseverance, they learned the secret of learning and became possessed of the same spirit that possessed him, the spirit which made the German scholars great, the spirit which Dr. Adams had in a high measure in the days before executive duties interfered with his leisure for study. For a historical seminary to mean anything it must be equipped with an adequate library. Doubtless one of the pleasantest tasks that ever fell to Dr. Adams was the assembling of the historical library at the University of Michigan. In this work he was practically unhampered, funds being generously provided by his college associate and life-long friend, J. J. Hagerman. Dr. Adams’ experience as the chief executive officer of a university began when he became president of Cornell in the summer of 1885. It was continued, after his resignation at Cornell, in the presidency of the University of Wisconsin, from which he retired a year ago on account of failing health. The progress of the University of Wisconsin in material equipment, faculty, students and prestige during his administration is unsurpassed in the history of our state universities. As scholar and author Dr. Adams is known chiefly in connection with two works, his “Manual of Historical Literature” and “Johnson’s Universal Cyclopaedia.” The “Manual of Historical Literature” may not unfairly be called an epoch making work in American historical scholarship. When a revision of Johnson’s Cyclopaedia was first planned in 1891, Dr. Adams succeeded President Barnard as editor-in-chief. In the reorganization of the editorial staff he brought together the most distinguished body of scholars that up to that time had ever been engaged upon a work of reference on this side of the Atlantic. His earliest work “Democracy and Monarchy in France” attracted wide attention and his life of Christopher Columbus is a Chapel to bear further witness to the truth that Cornell’s valuable monograph. He was called upon for numberless nonsectarianism was as far as possible from irreligion.

Date of Death: 18 September 1968, New York City, New York, USA (lung 499 cancer). Birth Name: Stanislas Pascal Franchot Tone President of the Dramatic Club at Cornell University, Franchot Tone gave up the family business for acting, making his Broadway debut in “The Age of Innocence”. Tone then went into movies for MGM, making his film debut in The Wiser Sex (1932). With his theatrical background, Tone became one of the most talented movie actors in Hollywood. Franchot Tone was born into a well-to-do upstate New York family. Tone traveled the world with his parents and attended various schools, including The Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, from which he was dismissed “for being a subtle influence for disorder throughout the fall term.” He entered Cornell University, studying romance languages with an initial goal of eventually teaching in such. But he also joined Cornell’s drama club, becoming its president his senior year. The interest in theater would sow a seed soon to be germinated. Tone had no interest in the family electrochemical business. He decided to become a serious actor. He meant business by joining a theater stock company in the city of Buffalo, earning only $15 a week. He toiled with dedication, playing bit roles and educating himself in the theater business. He moved to Greenwich Village and auditioned for the New Playwrights’ Theater, making his Broadway debut in 1929 with Katharine Cornell in “The Age of Innocence”. Tone portrayed Curly in the flop Broadway production of “Green Grow the Lilacs” which would later be developed into the musical “Oklahoma!”. He later discovered the Group Theatre in New York formed by Lee Strasberg and Harold Clurman. This was the first functional school for “Method” acting in America, followed later by The Actors Studio, also under Strasberg. In late September of 1931 the theater presented its first production, “The House of Connelly”, with Tone and Morris Carnovsky in the leading roles. Tone appeared in “Big Night” and later appeared in “Success Story”, after which Strasberg proclaimed him as the best actor in the company. His performance in “Success Story” also prompted a contract offer from MGM. He moved to Hollywood in November 1932, although his aspirations as an actor did not include becoming a Hollywood star. His first screen appearance was under the Paramount banner, not MGM, in The Wiser Sex (1932) starring Claudette Colbert. The Paramount brass did not see the potential, a telling sign of the chasm between Hollywood acting and that of the theater. Tone, however, was definitely on the “A” List ladder, His first MGM film, Today We Live (1933) co-starred the ambitious Joan Crawford. Here his woes with Hollywood actresses began in earnest. He and Crawford became a couple, and MGM could see the potential for better box office by pairing them in several movies. Tone worked through 1933 with other leading ladies, such as Loretta Young, Miriam Hopkins and Jean Harlow, before he worked again with Crawford. However, he was already being saddled with “the other 500 man” roles. In his next movie with Crawford, Dancing Lady (1933), he was competing with Clark Gable. By their next movie together, Sadie McKee (1934), Tone was the leading man but in forthcoming outings with Crawford he would have other film rivals and his characters tended to be less dynamic than hers. He was loaned to Warner Bros. for Dangerous (1935) with ’Bette Davis’. Davis also became romantically interested in him, and her incipient rivalry with Crawford made her all the more incensed with Crawford on finding out that she was engaged to Tone. Davis was envious and ashamed of her advances toward Tone, and the incident is believed by many sources to be the start of the famous warfare between Crawford and Davis that lasted to their dying days. Tone and Crawford did marry in late 1935, but the chemistry did not gel. Tone was an Eastern blueblood who shunned the artificial Hollywood lifestyle, while the unsophisticated Crawford could not get enough of it, and publicity. Those differences and Crawford’s bigger star power became glaringly obvious when the media labeled him “Mr. Joan Crawford”. Tone’s film career did not match Crawford’s phenomenal rise, and he was still dedicated to substantial support of Group Theatre productions. The marriage goals and the money diverged sharply; they divorced in March of 1939. Tone was most definitely becoming a matinée idol name. In 1935 he had two big hits, proving his wide range and depth as an actor. His whimsical demeanor lent well to comedic roles, which is why his wisecracking Lt. Forsythe in The Lives of a Bengal Lancer (1935) rang true. He also had considerable dramatic power, as seen in the second of these movies, the much anticipated Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) with his former co-star Gable. He, Gable and co-star Charles Laughton all received Oscar nominations for best actor. This was a first, and certainly an embarrassment which the Academy sought to remedy by introducing Best Supporting Actor and Actress Oscars the next year. Though Tone had other substantial roles through that decade, he seemed ready for a break with his film career. He suddenly returned to Broadway, and was able to thumb his nose at Hollywood due to the great success of his 1940 role as a newspaperman in Ernest Hemingway’s “The Fifth Column”. Unfortunately for him, MGM pointed out that he was still under contract to them, so he had to return. Tone had stimulating enough roles while with MGM until 1944, particularly the World War II adventure Five Graves to Cairo (1943) which Cary Grant turned down because he didn’t want to spend the summer in the Arizona desert, where it was being shot. Thereafter Tone worked to beat Hollywood at its own game. He freelanced at other studios and concentrated on parts that would expand his talents. He started working towards that goal with Universal’s critically successful Phantom Lady (1944), in which he played a psychotic killer. He also began produc- ing films that he felt would be challenging and successful. W190 Anna Wiles One of his best efforts in this capacity was the psychological B noir The Man on the Eiffel Tower (1949) as star and producer, with his great friend Burgess Meredith as director.

By 1948 he divorced his second wife, Crawford rebound Jean Wallace. Between 1950 and 1952 he was embroiled in the most foolish act of his career: his involvement with actress-turned-prostitute Barbara Payton. Just about everyone in Hollywood warned him against getting involved with Payton, including ex-wife Crawford. He failed to heed those warnings, however, and soon married her. The marriage only lasted a few weeks, and he paid a pretty heavy price: a hospital stay because of some fairly serious injuries (broken cheekbone and nose and a concussion) that required surgery after he was attacked and beaten by one of Payton’s most possessive boyfriends, brutish actor Tom Neal. The uproar over this assault ended Neal’s acting career. Tone’s distancing himself from W191 Alexander Louis Hupe Hupe, Alexander Louis. 1891.

He didn’t forget Broadway, though. In 1957 he scored a triumph in Eugene O’Neill’s “A Moon For The Misbegotten”, and even his personal life brightened considerably.

In 1881 the victors of the Lake George Regatta were sent to compete in the Henley races, where after five weeks’ training they lost the three contests in which they were entered. They were not allowed to row in the college race which they especially desired to enter, and in the other races were pitted against the best boat clubs in England. English oarsmen were fair enough to give Cornell the compliment of sending out the best college crew in the world. The crew also rowed in a regatta on the Danube at Vienna, in which, after gaining a lead of four or five lengths, the stroke fainted or pretended to faint. It is hardly necessary to go into details of the wretched affair. The Era summed the whole matter up by saying: “We were beaten in England by the best crews in the world aided by circumstances very unfavorable to us. We were beaten at Vienna through the treachery of a member of our crew. Humiliating as this admission is, we believe it to be true, and in justice to the other members of the crew the facts should be known.” From: The Cornell Navy, A Review, by C. V. P.

Judge Emory spent his early years in Syracuse, N. Y., removing there from Washington, D. C., his birthplace. His father, who was an army officer, died when he was a young lad and he was brought up in Syracuse by his uncle, Dr. Thomas Emory. He was graduated from the Cornell Law school in 1890 and passed the state Bar examinations in Syracuse, removing soon afterwards to Seattle, where he had since resided. Alpha Omega Chapter, 1889.

The fifty-nine days beginning with December 6, 1906, and ending with February 2, 1907, will always be memorable in Tacoma as having been the period of the most remarkable legal battle and criminal trial that the Pacific Northwest has ever known, or is ever likely to know.

Tacoma was only casually interested when the news came on July 7, 1906, that Judge Emory had been shot down in his own home by young Thompson. There was no mystery in the case. The facts seem to be plain, as told in the newspapers. The boy was wildly infatuated with Miss Charlotte Whittlesey, niece of Judge Emory, and when the latter refused to call the girl to the telephone to talk to Chester, the latter armed himself with a revolver and went to the Emory home. Asking “Where’s Charlotte?” he ran into the house and Judge Emory followed. Shots rang out and Emory fell from wounds that proved fatal two days later. It seemed the most wanton of killings, and as Seattle had been stirred by a singular W228 Hart Irving Seely number of similar homicides, the youth was rushed Necrology – ’09, ΊO BSA—Hart Irving Seely of Waverly; publisher of several Tioga and Schuyler County weekly newspapers; in an automobile collision, November 23, 1951.

From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 54, No. 9, Jan 1952, p. 260. 506 through a mob to jail only with difficulty, and there was a powerful sentiment against him. Rumors of strange conduct on his part coming up immediately, a great newspaper took up the cry that this “murderer must not escape on the grounds of insanity.” It was at a time when insanity was being made the defense for Harry Thaw in New York, and in this state for young Sidney Sloane, who killed his father in Spokane; for George Mitchell, who killed Joshua Creffield in Seattle, and for Esther Mitchell, who, in turn, killed her brother. There was sympathy for Will H. Thompson, the father, who was widely known as an attorney, author and orator; for the mother, who lay dying in the home, ignorant of her son’s predicament, and for two brothers, Maurice and Oscar Thompson, but little or none for the accused youth in the King County jail. Then the public began to get the measure of Will H. Thompson. At a meeting of lawyers to honor Judge Emory’s memory, he had the courage to go and pay sorrowful tribute. His words stirred his hearers to tears as he closed, saying: “If there were one and but one Jingering ray of light in my darkened and silenced home I would give it to illumine the hearts of the widowed wife and the orphaned children of this man who has passed from us, though I and mine should sit in darkness while ever life should last.” It began to be realized that this father’s fight for his son’s life would not be an ordinary one. Setting forth prejudice in his own community, Attorney Thompson had the case transferred to the Pierce County courts. On December 6th the trial began before Judge W. H. Snell, with more than one hundred witnesses subpoenaed. One week was consumed in selecting a jury, which, when sworn on December 13th, consisted of the following Pierce County residents: George Grieb, F. T. Spottswood, J. H. Benston, John M. Cronan, W. S. Peacock, John L. Reese, Harry Graham, Walter Scott, William Watson, F. B. Hoyt, W. A. Porter and Charles Vogel. Hoyt was chosen foreman. The array of legal talent was an imposing one. King County was represented by Kenneth Mackintosh, prosecuting attorney, later judge, and his deputy, John F. Miller, afterward mayor of Seattle. Assisting the prosecution were Walter M. Harvey, then deputy prosecutor of Pierce County, and Thomas Vance of Olympia, who entered the case without compensation because of his long friendship for the Emory family. Will H. Thompson, long considered one of the ablest lawyers of Washington and for several years western attorney for the Great Northern Railway, headed the defense, assisted by W. H. Morris and S. M. Shipley, lawyers, and the latter a legal expert on questions of insanity. The defense admitted from the start that insanity would be the defense. Attorney Thompson even offered to furnish the prosecution with the names of his witnesses many weeks before the trial began. In the court room were a dozen or more distinguished alienists called by both sides to study the case and the defendant, who, throughout the eight weeks of the trial, sat with his eyes on the carpet, seeming oblivious to all that went on. The prosecution’s opening statement reciting the cold facts of the homicide disposed of, the defense brought forth the first of the surprises of the keen legal battle. Attorney Thompson made his statement of his case at once, without waiting for the prosecution’s direct evidence. It was a simple, intensely personal outline of all that had taken 507 place in his family for years before the murder; how Chester, who had been unusually bright as a child, withdrew from others and would not play with them; how, after ranking high in his high school classes, he found himself utterly unable to do work at the university; how he began to say that his life was ruined because of some work that had been done on his teeth; how he refused to eat with other members of the family or scarcely to speak to them; howhe began to walk abroad at night until dawn; and to talk out of his window seemingly to no one; how his infatuation for the Whittlesey girl changed to a sort of idolatry and he began to say that unknown persecutors were keeping him from her; an endless array of earmarks of abnormality, dovetailed into sorrowful glimpses of a home where the mother was dying and where defeat seemed to have come at every turn for the father. It was a recital that deeply impressed and quickened sympathies. Consequently, when the prosecution put on its witnesses to tell the details of the actual homicide, the jurors and the court room crowds saw the tragedy in a softened and melancholy light of all that the father had pictured. The shock of the state’s case was gone. Then came a seemingly endless string of defense witnesses, day after day, week after week, who made an open book of the boy’s life and who, piece by piece, detail by detail, substantiated all that the father had said, showing beyond doubt that the youth was mentally abnormal, and of a gentle, unoffending nature, but leaving in doubt whether he was possessed of delusions so powerful that he did not know right from wrong. The father himself was three days on the witness stand, sometimes leaving it to argue as attorney over the admissibility of points in his own testimony objected to by the state. Neighbors, family servants, street car men, schoolmates, occasional acquaintances, merchants with whom Chester had traded, teachers, everyone, it seemed, with whom he had come in contact, testified to peculiarities—some trivial, some tending to show the ideas of persecution common in paranoidal forms of insanity. Many medical experts were called, mostly to answer staggeringly long hypothetical questions, by which they said Chester Thompson was insane or wasn’t insane, according to what was included or omitted in the questions. The jurors evidently grew very tired of this and admitted afterward that what the physicians said played no part in their verdict. Testimony was completed on January 27th, and Attorney Vance made a caustic argument for the state, flaying the defense theory and assailing the truth of its witnesses. Attorney Thompson’s failure to place his son in an asylum, if he believed what he had testified to, was particularly attacked. Then “Old Man Thompson,” as they called him at the courthouse, got into action. Everything else in the trial shriveled into insignificance beside the wonderful argument he began on the morning of January 31st. Words of singular emotional power leaped from his lips, and stirring figures of speech piled one on another in cracked out as he dealt with the state’s surmises to show amazing pictures of the gloom and sorrow of his home and that even by its own attempts to explain the boy’s conduct the mental martyrdom of his son. There were no dry eyes. they admitted his abnormality. When he concluded, on Some who heard grew hysterical and cries of “don’t” or the evening of February 1st, it seemed certain that he had “stop” punctuated dramatic pauses in his fiery appeal. Men won his case, the fee of which was his son’s life. The next who thought they did not know how to weep wept. Jurors morning Attorney Mackintosh made an able closing and judge wept.

Two ballots were Thompson had been a Confederate soldier. He had fought taken and at 9:40 that night a verdict of “not guilty by with Gordon all around Richmond in the terrible days reason of insanity” was given. Everywhere the verdict was closing the great Civil war.

Kaylor, Vol. 1, 1917, pp. 379-382. been mine, after what I have suffered, the attacks of the W230 & W373 Nicholas Cooke Cushing attorney for the state, saying I lied, pass me without harm. Crack your little whip! Crack your little whip across my mangled shoulders if you will—I can bear it! If the whiplash of Vance’s tongue was all I had to fear; if that was the only shadow across the path of the future, I should be the happiest man alive!” He likened his son’s brain to a violin string. “It was tightly drawn. So long as no harsh hand was drawn across it, so long as it was carefully touched, it gave forth a sound of melody. But when came fever, when came a great overmastering, impassioned love, the string snapped. The reason vanished; that was all.” “Death,” he cried. “Do you think I fear death! Do you think the darkened mind of my son broods on the sting of death? Were I to go to him now and tell him we two had to die, we both would face it unflinchingly. It is not death, it is dishonor, we combat!” In his appeal to the jury not to disagree he begged: “If the sun has to set, let it go down now! If you are going to strike, strike now! I can bear the blow. Do not falter. For God Almighty’s sake make a verdict and make it now! I can not go through this again.” With all of this emotionalism, sweeping, as it did, everything before it, there was a continually recurrent marshaling of the facts as adduced by the testimony; the lawyer was always at the father’s elbow, and an eternal “Why?” 508 1892. 165.

He was a former president of the Tompkins County Bar Association, which honored him at a dinner in September, 1948. He was the first president of the Ithaca SPCA, which he and Mrs. Smith helped to organize in the 1890’s especially to protect the horses that drew heavy loads up the hills, and was a founder and director of the Cinder Path Club, an organization of bicyclists. In later years, he was an avid follower of big-league baseball and made an annual trip to New York City with his daughter, Madge Smith ’09, assistant to the Secretary of the University, to see the Yankees play; the last time in 1949. Miss Smith lives at 120 Oak Avenue, Ithaca. Secretary of his Class, Smith had never missed attending Class Reunions until this year. In 1948, he won the Class Secretaries Association Cup for registering 100 per cent of the living members of his Class. He represented the first Class with living members at the inauguration of President Edmund E. Day in 1937. University records indicate that Smith was technical schools of his native city, and was later appren- ticed to the trade of machinist and draughtsman. He finally located in America, and for a time was at Toronto, Canada. From there he went to Bloomington and Chi- cago, Illinois, where he was employed on the Chicago & Alton and Chicago & North-Western railroads as a machinist. He chose a floating position in order to better familiarize himself with his chosen profession. In the course of his travels he first visited Kansas about 1882. The following year he entered Cornell University, in New York State, and took a course in mechanical engineering, thus completing his preparation for his chosen life work. Returning to service on the Chicago & Alton Railroad, he served some time as a draughtsman, and did similar work on the Missouri Pacific Railway, at Palestine, Texas. He was later transferred to St. Louis and placed in charge of the draughting department for the entire system, under 0. A. Haynes, superintendent of locomotives and cars. In 1889, Mr. Maddocks was called to Parsons, where probably the third-oldest alumnus still living. Antedating him in years (though not in the University) are George M.

He was only 29 years of age, a young man of fine mental qualities and character. He was a graduate of the High School in ’82 and of Cornell University in 1887. Since his graduation from Cornell, he has been a student in the law office of Messrs. Carver, Deyo & Jenkins, of this, and was about ready to take his examination for admission to the Bar. His father, Christopher Rutherford, died Sept. 1st 1888, and just one year from that day his mother was buried in Spring Forest cemetery. Last March his only sister also died, and Robert’s death removes the last member of the family.

From: The Evening Independent, St. Petersburg, FL, 13 Mar 1935, p. 2. W236 John Taylor Nichols John Taylor Nichols. This prominent lawyer of Detroit, where he has been active in his profession, and also as a business man for the last twenty years, is a representative in the third generation of the Nichols family, which has probably contributed more to the development of manufacturing and industry in the state of Michigan than any other individual family group. The grandfather of Mr. Nichols, the lawyer, was John Nichols, one of the founders and for many years president of Nichols & Shepard Company, of Battle Creek manufacturers. His father is Hon. Edwin C. Nichols, who still has a guiding hand in the industrial fortunes of the city of Battle Creek and is president of the Nichols and Shepard Company. Mr. John T. Nichols himself has an executive position as vice president in the great company founded by his father, and developed largely by its members. In a history of the notable personalities of the State of Michigan, there is an obvious propriety in giving space to the record of the various members of the Nichols family. The late John Nichols, the pioneer of the name in Michigan, was born at Liverpool, Onondaga county, New York, January 1, 1814, came to Michigan territory in 1835, and after a long and remarkable career died at his home in Battle Creek, April 15, 1891. John Nichols was one of the remarkable men of the last century. His work was largely created, and his industry and character became the foundation on which rests the material prosperity of one of Michigan’s larger cities. Personally he was a man of untiring industry, great executive capacity, indomitable energy and perseverence, and never faltered before the untried obstacles that barred his way. Business sagacity was less an element in his success than solid ability to do and direct others in doing. His parents, Eliakim and Sally Nichols were early settlers of western New York. It was in practically a pioneer community that John Nichols spent his youth, and had only limited schooling in the modern sense. When thirteen years old he began figuring his own fortune, and at Palmyra became an apprentice to the moulder’s and iron foundry trade. This trade became the basis for his subsequent career. In 1834 at the age of twenty, he married Miss Nancy C. Galloway. They had an unusually long and happy wedded life, which was prolonged beyond their golden wedding anniversary, until the death of Mrs. Nichols, December 26, 1892. In 1835 John Nichols brought his young wife to the territory of Michigan, the settlement of which was only begun in most of the southern counties. After one year in Lenawee county he found work in the machine shops then maintained by the state of Michigan, which was constructing the Michigan 512 Central Railroad. In 1848, he went west and located at Battle Creek, which thereafter was his home, and was the seat of his larger enterprise. He was first engaged in the manufacture of stoves, plows and other farm implements and iron castings. To his plant were afterwards added facilities for making engines, saw mill and grist mill machinery. In 1850 he crossed the plains into California, but after a brief residence there returned, and formed a partnership with David Shepard, thus beginning the firm name which has continued for more than sixty years, and now has an international reputation wherever agriculture flourishes. Their earliest output was one of the crude types of grain threshers in use during the decade of the fifties. They made a good machine, however, and they invented great improvements which soon made it the leading threshing machine of its day and generation. Their business ever since has kept abreast of the inventions and facilities of each succeeding decade. It was largely owing to the genius and practical business talent of Mr. Nichols that the product acquired its popularity, and in a few years the first shop was unable to fill the orders for the “Vibrator” threshing machine as it was called. In 1870 a stock company was organized, and extensive works were built on the east side of Battle Creek, at the place now called Nichols Station. The late John Nichols was not only a great industrial captain, but he also possessed a generous public spirit and interest in the welfare of his fellow men. He was the first to undertake the building of homes for workingmen, and he did much to make the lives of his employes more comfortable. The Nichols Memorial Hospital in Battle Creek is a monument to his substantial interest in his community. In politics he was first a Whig and afterwards equally loyal to the Republican principles. He never sought office and was quite content to do his duty through the avenues of private citizenship. A great lover of forest and streams, he was an eager sportsman, and for many years it was his delight to take a party of invited friends into the wilds of the north and west during the autumn hunting season. For forty-four successive years did he follow this most interesting habit, and the “Vibrator” hunting party, of which he was the host and directing spirit, with its multitude of people, its pack of hounds and the camp equipage and supplies for entertaining most royally his friends and the passers-by for many week, was one of the notable events of each season. Many scores of men in Michigan and elsewhere will recall with interest and pleasure his generous hospitality. The late John Nichols was the father of three children. His daughter, Mrs. Helen N. Caldwell, died March 8, 1903, and a younger daughter, Mary Elizabeth Nichols, died in 1854. His only son and surviving child is Hon. Edwin C. Nichols. Edwin C. Nichols, both during his father’s lifetime and since, has been one of the vital forces in the progress of Battle Creek and the State of Michigan. He was born in Lenawee county, at the town of Clinton, July connected with the firm of Russel & Campbell until 1889. 20, 1838, only about one year after Michigan became a Since that year he has practiced alone.

In politics Edwin C. From: History of Michigan, Vol. 4, by Charles Moore, 1915, pp. 1781-84. Nichols has done much for the Republican party in Michigan. He was a delegate to the constitutional convention. He has steadily refused all the larger political honors, such as nomination to congress and for governor, but has served his home city as mayor, as president of the school board, and was the first president of the board of public works of Battle Creek. Edwin C. Nichols is a Knights Templar Mason, is prominent in the club life of Battle Creek, and is also well known in Detroit, where he has membership in the Detroit Club, the Detroit Country Club, and the Yondotega Club. He belongs to the old and exclusive Chicago Club of Chicago. While not a member of any particular church, he has always been liberal in his support of religion and benevolence. The Nichols Memorial Hospital at Battle Creek is an institution in which he is much interested, and he has done much to support and maintain this hospital. Battle Creek both in its past and present attainments owes much to the broad capacity and ability of Mr. Nichols. Edwin C. Nichols in 1860 married Sarah J. Rowan of Argyle, New York. She was a daughter of James Hvatt and at her death in 1897 she left three children. These are Mrs. Helen N. Newberry of Chicago, Illinois; Mrs. Harriet Atterbury of Detroit; and John T. Nichols of Detroit. All the children were born and partly educated in Battle Creek. Both the daughters completed their education in a Seminary for young ladies near Boston, Massachusetts. The only male representative of the Nichols family in its third generation in Michigan, John Taylor Nichols was born in Battle Creek on February 3, 1868. From the public schools of his native city he entered Cornell University, where he was graduated with the class of 1889 in the literary department. In 1892 he was graduated LL. B. from the Harvard Law School, and in the same year was admitted to the bar of Calhoun county. Mr. Nichols was admitted to practice in the Federal court, in 1894. His practice as a lawyer began in Battle Creek in the offices of Hulbert & Meetcham. After about a year, in 1893, he located in Detroit, and was 513 ID: I498 Name: John Taylor Nichols Sex: M Birth: 3 Feb 1868 in Battle Creek, Mi Death: 8 Jan 1935 in Grosse Pointe, Mi Christening: 1889 Graduated Cornell was KA Burial: 1892 Graduated Harvard Law School Note: John Taylor Nichols 1868-1935 Helene DeMorat 1868 Born 3 Feb Battle Creek Michigan.

During his W243 Charles Kleber Lee college days he was connected with the Cornell Daily Sun as editor and during his senior year as business manager, and placed the paper on a paying basis through capable control, executive ability and indefatigable enterprise. Coming to Syracuse on the completion of his collegiate course, Mr. Shinaman entered the law offices of Goodelle & Nottingham as a student and after thorough preliminary reading was admitted to the bar in 1891. He then began practice in association with the firm of White & King, and when Mr. King died the firm became White & Cheney, Mr. Shinaman remaining as assistant in the law office from 1893 until 1898, when he was admitted to a partnership under the firm style of White, Cheney & Shinaman. There was no further change in the partnership until 1905, when the admission of a fourth partner led to the adoption of the firm name of White, Cheney, Shinaman & O’Neil.

A. Moore Dies. Emeritus Dean of Veterinary College. Served Cornell for 33 Years— Noted in Health Work. Dr. Veranus Alva Moore ’87, dean emeritus of the College of Veterinary Medicine, died on February 11 in the Ithaca Memorial Hospital, of which institution he was superintendent. He was seventy-one years of age. Death followed an intestinal operation and resulted from heart disease. Dr. Moore served Cornell for thirty-three years. Nine years after he received the degree of Bachelor of Science in 1887, he became a professor on the original Faculty of the College of Veterinary Medicine. In 1908, he was appointed dean, serving until his retirement in 192.9, when he became professor of veterinary pathology, emeritus. After his graduation from Cornell Dr. Moore studied medicine. He developed interest in the profession through an accident that crippled him as a young man. When he was twenty-five years old, a successful operation permitted him to walk once more without the aid of crutches. He took the degree of Doctor of Medicine from Columbian (now George Washing- ton) University in 1890. The University of Pennsylvania conferred the degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1911 and Syracuse University the degree of Doctor of Science in 1919. Dr. Moore’s international reputation in science rested upon his work in the field of tuberculosis, but he was also well known for his work in infectious diseases and bacteriology. Early in January, Dr. Moore was made a fellow in the Royal College of Surgeons of London. It was the last of a long line of honors to come him during his lifetime. He was a member of Sigma Xi, Phi Kappa Phi, and Phi Sigma Kappa. President Hoover named him a member of the White House Conference on Child Health. Dean Moore was born in Houndsfield, N. Y., April 13, 1859. In 1890, he became engaged in inves- tigations of infectious diseases for the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture. He became chief of the Division of Animal Pathology be- fore he returned to Cornell in 1896 as professor of com- parative pathology, bacteriology, and meat inspection. Dr. Moore was brought to Cornell as a teacher by Dr. James Law, who organized the College of Veterinary Medicine. It was Dr. Law whom Dr. Moore succeeded as dean in Veranus Alva Moore (1929) 1908. When he retired in 192.9 from the Faculty, Dr. Moore planned to devote his time to research, but his interest in medicine and public health led him to accept the superintendency of the Ithaca Memorial Hospital. During his term he saw brought to fruition a project in which he was long interested, the establishment of the Tompkins County Laboratory. His connection with the Ithaca Hospital was only one of many in the city of Ithaca. He was for twelve years a member of the Board of Education and of the Board of Health. He also served the Hospital as a trustee. He was a member of the Rotary Club and a director of the Savings and Loan Association. Dr. Moore was prolific with his pen. His writings included Laboratory Directions for Beginners in Bacteriology, The Pathology and Differential Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases of Animals, The Principles of Microbiology, Bovine Tuberculosis and Its Control, and many contributions to scientific journals. President Farrand paid this tribute to Dean Moore: “It is hard to picture Cornell without the quiet, lovable, trusted figure of Dean Moore. It is doubtful if there was any man whose passing could have brought the same feeling of sadness to so many members of the community, present and past. “For more than forty years, Dean Moore played, an important part in the building of a university. It was not alone his unchallenged leadership in the field of veterinary medicine that gave him his peculiar influence. It was not simple, winning, sympathetic personality that gave to his professional leadership its unusual touch. “The State and the city have lost a great servant, and Cornell University one of its best loved men.” Dr. Walter L. Williams, professor of veterinary surgery, emeritus, said: “In the death of Dr. V. A. Moore the veterinary profession of America loses one of its most conspicuous members. As a teacher he wielded great influence upon the veterinary student body. Under his administration as dean, the Veterinary College made continuous and notable advancement in its visible equipment, in the size and strength of its Faculty, and in the character of its educational and research work.” Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt said: “I join with a host of friends and admirers of Dean V. A. Moore in mourning his death, which is not only a great loss to his family but to his community and State as well as to Cornell University, which he served so long and well.” Funeral services were held on February 13 at the First Methodist Church, Ithaca. He is survived by his widow, Mary Louise Moore; a daughter, Mrs. Mary E. Shackelton ’20; two sons, Dr. Erwin V. Moore ’17 and Dr. Norman Moore ’23, and three brothers, Walter Moore, Fred Moore, and William Moore.

His parents were Alva faculties. It was the sterling character of the man, and the and Antoinette Eastman Moore. His father died when 518 Veranus was thirteen years of age and the son worked on a farm to support himself and to assist his mother and the other children. In the course of his farm work he suffered a serious infection of the foot caused by stepping on a nail and the long treatment he received at Bellevue Hospital and elsewhere (in days when “Listerism” was a subject of merriment to the medical profession) awakened his interest in the obscure but fascinating problems of disease. In the intervals of hospital treatment he taught district school, and after studying at Mexico Academy in Oswego County he entered Cornell in the fall of 1883. He earned his way through college in spite of the fact that he still used crutches until his junior year. While at Ithaca, he specialized in pre-medical subjects and came under the inspiring influence of Burt G. Wilder and of James Law (who had studied with Lister at Edinburgh). So faithful and successful was the work of Mr. Moore that the required studies for graduation had been completed in the early spring of his senior year (1887). At that time there came a request from Dr. D. E. Salmon, and Dr. Theobald Smith of the Bureau of Animal Industry in Washington, for an assistant. Mr. Moore was recommended for that position and was accepted, the university granting him leave of absence for the remainder of the school year. He returned and graduated with his class in June. In the Bureau at that time were Daniel E. Salmon, by whose efforts the Bureau had been established, and Theobald Smith, whose epoch-making discovery of the intermediate host in the transmission of Texas fever to cattle paved the way for later discoveries concerning the role played by insects and their close allies in transmitting disease to human beings. Moore’s interest in medicine was further intensified in the atmosphere of scientific investigation at the Bureau. Fortunately for him, the Columbian Medical School (now George Washington University Medical School), held its lectures and laboratory work in the late afternoon and evening. After carrying on his scientific work all day in the Bureau, with unbounded energy he took up the study of medicine, completed the course and graduated in 1890 with the degree of M.D. He then was ap pointed demonstrator in the school, and from 1894 to 1896 served as professor of normal histology. When Dr. Theobald Smith went to Harvard in 1895, Dr. Moore served as chief of the division of pathology in the Bureau till 1896. At this time the New York State Veterinary College opened its doors, and Dr. Moore was called to the professorship of Pathology, Bacteriology and Meat Inspection. He built up an admirable department, and the services he rendered to the livestock owners of the state and the nation were widely recognized. He also did yeoman service in helping to free the veterinary profession and the community from opinions without foundation, and put in their place the sound knowledge which bacteriology and the new pathology had made available. 519 To this end he published many papers (some 264), gave numerous addresses and prepared several books in his field. Among these are: Directions for Beginners in Bacteriology, The Pathology and Differential Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases of Animals, Bovine Tuberculosis and its Control. On the establishment of the Cornell University Medical College, Dr. Moore gave instruction from 1898-1910 to the medical students in the Ithaca Division, and gave these young people a broad outlook upon comparative bacteriology and pathology. In 1908, on the retirement of Dr. James Law at the age of seventy, Dr. Moore was chosen to succeed him as Dean of the Veterinary College, and continued in that office for twenty-one years. He brought to this important position the broad training which had come from his nine years at the Bureau of Animal Industry in Washington with its national outlook, and an intimate knowledge of the actual problems confronting the stock owners of every county in New York State. In 1909 his experience was further increased by study and observation of the efforts toward tuberculosis control in cattle made in the several countries of Europe on a trip made in the interest of the New York State Department of Agriculture. Dr. Moore brought with him to the deanship that precious quality of sympathy, which was his by nature and which had been greatly developed by his contact with the best minds in the country. He not only knew the needs of the stock owners of the state and country, but he knew the necessity of securing and retaining men of the highest grade for the teaching and research staff of the college. During his twenty-one years administration as Dean, he had the satisfaction of seeing notable advances in every department of the college. When he became Dean the annual appropriation for maintenance was $30,000. So skillful was Dr. Moore in making known the widespread benefits arising from the work of the college, and so eloquent and persuasive was his presentation of the needs and the benefits to come, that, when he retired, the annual appropriation for maintenance had increased almost six fold, that is, to $178,955. The six buildings and equipment in 1908 had cost $150,000. The eight buildings and equipment added during his administration cost an additional $366,000. The staff of thirteen in 1908 had increased to thirty in 1929; there were 80 enrolled students in 1908, and 134 in 1929. Up to 1908 the college had graduated one hundred and fifty-three; to these were added 550, making a total alumni body of 703. Up to 1916 the course had been three years long, since then it has been four years. As there was no place in the state where diagnoses could be made of such diseases as anthrax, blackleg, glanders, rabies, tuberculosis and other animal diseases, the Department of Bacteriology and Pathology established a laboratory for this purpose where specimens could be examined and information given. This diagnostic work has constantly increased in volume and importance. It is almost self-evident that an institute like tangled finances, stop the growing deficit, and bring about the veterinary college in a great university cannot limit its genuine team work among all connected with the hospi- facilities to undergraduates. Provision must be made for tal. Dr. Moore put aside his plans for freedom from graduate work, and opportunity offered to practitioners administrative cares because there seemed to be here a who wish to become acquainted with the latest knowledge place where he could be of real service. He brought to this and the latest methods.

In 1909, he established the Conference always first.” As a patient in Bellevue, Dr. Moore had seen of Veterinarians, a two-day session in which all matters of the beginnings of the first training school for nurses in the present vital interest to the profession are taken up and country. He naturally therefore had a deep interest in the considered by alumni and men eminent in the state and in nurses’ training school in the Ithaca hospital, and had the United States.

In its hour of need Dr. Moore did not forget his country, W246 Adeltus Ervin Smith but served in the Surgeon General’s office where he was assigned to the duty of helping to organize the veterinary corps of the United States Army. Perhaps in no other way could be shown more clearly the honor and esteem in which Dr. Moore was held in the university community than by the statement that he was chosen by the University Faculty as one of its three representatives on the University Board of Trustees. This position he held from 1926 till his retirement in 1929.

He taught both biology and geology at the College of Charleston (South Carolina) and pharmacognosy at a Charleston medical college. After spending three summers mapping the Cumberland Gap coalfield for the U.S. Geological Survey, he joined the survey in 1903. During his USGS years, he wrote two books about coal resources and occasionally served as acting director of the agency. In 1919 Ashley became Pennsylvania’s state geologist and after building a state geological survey “from scratch” began identifying the commonwealth’s coal and mineral resources. He was a prolific writer as well as a leader of professional, civic, and religious organizations.

Of his boyhood life I have scant personal knowledge.

When boys came to play, nearly always after a short time he would be missing. They would find him reading with such intense interest he would not notice them. His family provided good reading but he would read everything he could find. “Although born on a farm he was never very much interested in farm life and seldom cared to do farm work. I remember one time when father wanted him to drive the horses on the mowing machine. The field was a large one with woods bordering one side. Nearly every time around the field when he would come to the woods he would leave the horses standing and go into the woods and hunt for bugs. When father spoke to him about it he replied that the horses needed the rest.” In a letter from an early teacher we learn that “He was my pupil at 6 years of age. A bright, sturdy little lad in high red top rubber boots. Nature study and trout fishing were of special interest to him and he would roam the tamarack swamp and wilds of Sulphur Springs territory alone with great pleasure and wonderment. He was very proud of his capture of a loon and had it mounted by a taxidermist. His collecting and mounting butterfiies and insects was so Lee Barker Walton (1906) pronounced that the whole community was amazed.” He doubtless passed through the various grades of elementary and secondary schools required as a preparation of entry to Cornell University, where he entered in 1893 and graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy in 1897. His further preparation for a scientific career is summed up briefly in the obituary note by the writer in Science for July 15, 1938, from which I quote: “Later he spent the years ’98 and ’99 in Germany—except for six months in India where, according to Mrs. Walton, ’he was interested mostly in collecting butterflies and beetles’. We may question this since Caroline Louise Graham, the daughter of a Missionary to India, later became Mrs. Walton. He went to Brown University in 1899 and served as Assistant to Dr. A. S. Packard in 1900-1901, while working for the Ph.D. degree. He studied at Woods Hole during the summer of 1901 and was assistant to Dr. Bumpus at the American Museum of Natural History 1901-1902. He was Goldwin Smith Fellow and secured his Ph.D. at Cornell University in 1902 and that fall began his notable career at Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio, where he remained an outstanding figure until his untimely death. In this position he at once identified himself with the Ohio Academy of Science and became one of its most loyal members, serving as Secretary, President and on various principal committees”. He was married to Caroline Louise Graham at Sangli, India, March 1, 1898, and five children were born to them. Harold Graham, born Nov. 13, 1898; Robert Barker, born March 13, 1900, died August 13, 1916; Margaret Bai, born August 21, 1902; Graham, born January 22, 1906; Roger Lee, born July 22, 1914. Harold graduated from Kenyon College in 1920, Margaret graduated from Wellesley, 1924, Graham from Kenyon College in 1927 and from Mass. Inst. Technology in 1930; Roger graduated from Kenyon College in 1935. 525 While none of the children have followed the father in the field of biology, all are filling important places in society, Harold in the field of actuarial insurance, Margaret as the wife of Dr. Faust of Knox College, Galesburg, Ill., Graham as instructor in sanitary and hydraulic engineering in the University of Wisconsin, and Roger with the teaching profession in view. During the summers of 1905, ’06, ’07 and ’09 he taught courses in biology at the Lake Laboratory, located then on Cedar Point near Sandusky, and his enthusiasm and broad training were an inspiration to both staff and students. The intimate associations in this connection naturally resulted in a close friendship which persisted through the years. With other members of the Ohio Academy of Science he was instrumental in the organization of the Ohio Biological Survey as a Department of the State University and served on its Advisory Board from its establishment to his death. In this connection he carried on studies, mainly on aquatic organisms, and the results of his studies appeared in two important papers, “The Euglenoidina of Ohio” and “Studies Concerning Organisms Occurring in Water Supplies”, both being much in demand from outside Ohio as well as here. He held membership in a number of National Scientific Societies, among them Botanical Society of America, American Society Zoologists, American Society of Naturalists, Boston Society Natural History and Entomological Society of America. He was Fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the council, 1915-17. He was a member of the Honorary Societies of Sigma Xi and Alpha Tau Omega. His interests were varied—not confined to his Biological work—and he was particularly interested in out door sports for young men, tennis, golf, hiking, fishing, and said “more of that kind of interest would tend to keep the young men in the proper condition morally as well as physically”. He was “a great believer in play as well as work”. He was interested in problems of evolution and many of his published papers had a bearing upon various phases of these fundamental biological questions. A good example of his originality of thought and method of attack on a problem is shown in his studies of the phenomena of spiral movement in aquatic organisms as exhibited in regions north and south of the equator where the spiral movement has a reverse rotation in forms he observed. The intricate structure of various arthropod groups and their bearing on the questions of their phylogenetic affinities formed the subject of a number of morphologic studies. He was a successful teacher, beloved by his students, many of them going on to successful careers. Here perhaps was his greatest contribution to science and society—a contribution which cannot be estimated in any statistical or analytical terms. Walton had the happy faculty of making friends with people in many different ranks of society and it was remarked of him by a close friend that he was “an aristocrat and a democrat”. He liked to associate with people high up and could also be found in a garage playing checkers with some of the garage men. He also had the facility to accomplish much with apparently little exertion. One of his close friends says “Lee accomplished more with the least apparent effort of any one I have ever known”. This facility was no doubt in large part due to his ability to see the important thing and to eliminate waste motion. It would be interesting to enlarge upon his interest in national and international affairs as he always had definite and original ideas to present in such matters. I do not think he ever carried the idea that his own view was the only one to be considered or that his opinions must be accepted without debate. Altogether as I think back over the many years of our association I am the more impressed with the constructive and beneficent nature of his life. He must have been a strong contributing factor in the community as well as in the college circle where so large a part of his life was spent. Personally the writer thinks of him as an admired companion, a wholesome nature full of the joy of life and capable of firing the enthusiasm of students and associates in the pursuit of knowledge, making serious work a joyful occupation. His friendship through the years is one of the treasured memories of life. Herbert Osborn. From: The Shorter Scientific Papers of Lee Barker Walton, edited by George P. Faust, Cadmus Press, 1940. W265 Robert Ludwig Junghanns wills were made. These children have filed actions con testing the validity of the wills and claiming that they, as natural heirs, should receive the entire estate. The Secretary further reported that a brief examination had been made of the law in Puerto Rico, and it indicates that there are at least three possible conclusions to these contentions. Under one the University would receive the entire estate, under another it would receive one-half and under a third possibility it would receive one-third of the estate. The Secretary stated that he has asked an alumnus of the Cornell Law School of the Class of 1927, now of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Mr. Mariano Hector Ramirez, to investigate the matter and advise the University as to its rights in the matter. Mr. Ramirez has replied saving that he will make a thorough investigation. However, since the personalities involved may be important in such a controversy, the Secretary stated that Vice-President Doyle was anxious that this matter be presented to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees in order that the members thereof could make any suggestions as to the matter or personnel in Puerto Rico who might be desirable to represent the University. Trustee Upson offered to communicate with the president of a large sugar company with whom he is well acquainted and ascertain the counsel the sugar company uses in Puerto Rico. Vice-Chairman Donlon suggested that possibly Carlos Chardon of the University of Puerto Rico, and an alumnus of Cornell University, might be of some assistance.

Junghanns was born in Porghkeepsie, New York on July 1, 1871. His university studies were conducted at Cornell University. He came to Puerto Rico when he was very young and was devoted to trade. Junghanns lived on street Hiram Gonzalez at number 122. The famous engineer was devoted to studying and preserving materials related to Bayamon culture. These materials are preserved in the Archivo General de Puerto Rico and are known as the Junghanns Collection. He planted trees in the range of properties that make up the park that today bears his name. Those trees are laurel, cedar, layer, and Guaraguao Mahogany, among others. Robert L.

A suit to contest the two wills of a Cornell alumnus, who bequeathed almost his entire estate to the University, was filed by his four children Thursday in Bayamon District Court, San Juan, Puerto Rico. Cornell is represented at the trial by counsel. Robert Ludwig Junghanns died in Bayamon Sept. 21, leaving an estate reportedly valued at $300,000 to be used at Cornell in the fields of anthropology, entomology and tropical agriculture. He attended Cornell from 1893 to 1897 and received the B.S.A. degree in 1897 and the M.S. in Agriculture in 1898. The wills provided for four minor personal bequests ranging from $250 to $1,600. No provision was made for the four children.

Terms of the 1907 will, according to Cornell authorities, specified that the bequest was to go “towards establishment of a chain of tropical agriculture; for purchase of entomological specimens, books, pamphlets, etc.; fitting out of entomological expeditions, and the conservation and maintenance of the entomological collections; purchase of agricultural books, especially those bearing on tropical agriculture and the history of agriculture.” The 1902 will instructed the beneficiary to use the bequest “for the purpose of strengthening their library of anthropological and entomological works, or the income to be devoted toward collecting or research work in anthropology or entomology.” From: Ithaca Journal (31 Oct 1947), Kroch Library Rare & Manuscripts, Deceased Alumni Files.

(Alanson) Phelps Wyman ( 1870 – 1947) Born and raised in Manchester Center, Vermont, Wyman attended college at Cornell University, studying agriculture. After graduation in 1897, he worked in the field of landscape architecture in several east coast offices, including several years at Olmsted Brothers. In order to supplement his prior education, he spent two years from 1902-1904 at MIT studying 527 Alanson Phelps Wyman related subjects. From 1904 to 1911, Wyman operated a consulting practice in Chicago and taught landscape architecture as Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois. Afterwards, he practiced as a landscape architect in Minneapolis. There, he served on the Minneapolis Park Board from 1916 to 1924 and on the Minneapolis Planning Commission from 1921 to 1924. He also continued his residential landscape work. In 1924, Wyman relocated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin—returning towards Chicago— and began service as the landscape architect to the local regional planning commission. After several years in the public sector, he returned to private practice for the remaining 23 years of his life. However, he retained his interest in city planning and worked as a private citizen to encourage the city to adopt a master plan. Wyman served as the landscape architect for the 1908 design of the Four Mounds Estate in Dubuque County, Iowa, which integrated existing Native American burial mounds into the estate. This project is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. With regard to the design philosophy Wyman used at Four Mounds and elsewhere, some scholars have suggested that he may have subscribed to the “nativist” design philosophy of fellow University of Illinois faculty member Wilhelm Miller and of his fellow Chicago practitioner Jens Jensen. Wyman worked extensively on the development of parks. Serving as a consultant to groups promoting the creation of parks, he recommended restoring wildlife to new parks. One of his notable projects was a study of the suitability of the badlands of North Dakota as a national park. He also wrote extensively about parks in various publications, including the journal Parks and Recreation.

He received his early academic training at the Burr & Burton Seminary at Manchester Center. Later he attended Cornell University, where he was awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science in Agriculture in the year 1897. No courses in landscape architecture were offered at that time, so Mr. Wyman sought apprenticeship in several eastern offices to train himself more thoroughly in his chosen profession. Three years were thus spent in the office of Olmsted Brothers, and shorter periods with Warren H. Manning, Charles A. Platt, J. W. Langton, and O. C. Simonds of Chicago. He then spent two years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1902-1904), where he completed special courses in architecture, landscape design, and engineering. This was followed by a summer abroad. After his return home Mr. Wyman opened an office in Chicago, where he engaged in private practice. In addition, he spent part of his time teaching landscape architecture at the University of Illinois. This continued until 1910, when he opened an office in Minneapolis. There he continued the practice of landscape architecture until 1924. During that period he served on the Minneapolis Park Board (1916-1924), and of the City of Milwaukee to prepare a master plan. He also constantly stressed the fact that the Milwaukee lake front, and in particular the portion directly east of the downtown area, had the greatest potential public value of any land in the city for recreational use. Much time was spent on these projects, for which he received no compensation other than the satisfaction of having accomplished something for the public Mr. Wyman became a Member of the American Society of Landscape Architects in 1905, and a Fellow in 1912. He served on the Board of Trustees from 1919 to 1921. His membership in the Society thus extended almost from its beginning, and he was a potent force in its development and growth in the North Central States. His interest in the profession was clearly indicated by the fact that he willed his technical library to the University of Illinois so that the material that he had spent many in assembling might be available to future students of landscape architecture. In his professional practice, Mr. Wyman preferred to work alone, always giving the problems before him a great deal of personal effort and time. The influence of his early experience and contact with the Olmsted office and with O. C. Simonds was evident in his work. He had a fine sense of the eternal fitness of things, which manifested itself in the manner in which his designs were adapted to the topography with which he was working. Likewise he molded land forms with much discrimination. No detail of a job was too small to receive careful study. Phelps Wyman’s art was a creative art. In its practice he would never compromise on principles that might reduce to mediocrity any work with which he was connected. A. L. B.

William J. Krome ’99. William Julius Krome, formerly designer with the Florida East Coast Railway, died on October 2 in Homestead, Fla., after a long illness. He was born in Edwardsville, Ill., fifty-three years ago, the 528 son of the late Judge and Mrs. William H. Krome. His wife and three children survive him. From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 32, No. 9, 21 Nov 1929, p. 129. Introduction. When William Julius Krome was six or seven years old his father took him to St. Louis to hear and later to meet the great African explorer Stanley. Young Krome was so impressed that for years he cherished the idea of becoming an explorer and collected books on African exploration. Krome never explored Africa but in 1902-03 he made a rather remarkable exploration of the wilds of South Florida. Krome’s grandfather, Charles William Krome, was born in Hanover, Germany, and was a law student at the time he was inducted into the Ger- man army for the required year of service. Before the year was up Bismarck extended the required service to two years and Krome stowed away to America rather than serve a second year. He then joined a wagon train going over the mountains and down the Ohio River to Louis- ville. The pioneer community had no need for a young lawyer but did need a cobbler, a trade which Krome had learned during his army service. He solicited orders for shoes, bought the supplies, and engaged less enterprising German cobblers to make them for him. He was soon a prosperous businessman. His son, William Henry Krome, moved to Edwardsville, Illinois, where he became a judge, and where his son, William Julius, was born February 14, 1876, the only boy in a family of seven children. Wil- liam Julius had a classical education at Northwestern and DePauw, then studied engineering at Cornell but left in his senior year to do a survey for a railroad in Missouri. He never returned to school because he was not one to worry about degrees or signs of achievement. He went on to other railroad jobs in South Carolina and Georgia and in 1899 came to Florida to work for the Altantic, Valdosta and Western Railway Company. In 1901 Krome found himself between jobs. He spent the winter in Jacksonville, and enjoyed exploring the St. Johns River in a small boat, fascinated with a country so sparsely populated. When he learned that the Florida East Coast Railway Company was planning to extend its railroad to Key West and needed someone to survey possible routes he applied for the job and was hired. Early in 1902 he made a trip down the east coast as far as Cutler recording all points of interest with his camera. He loved photography and recorded the progress of his work projects as well as the activities of his family and friends. When Krome arrived in South Florida the Florida East Coast was in the process of building a railroad between Miami and Homestead and Krome first worked on that project. There were two possible routes for the Key West Extension. The first was to the east and along the keys the other overland to Cape Sable and across shallow Florida Bay. Krome headed a crew to survey the latter route to see if it were feasible. In preparation for this 529 William Julius Krome survey he studied the notes of a United States surveyor named Jackson who had surveyed South Florida in 1848. Jackson has summarized his notes by saying, “The country south of Miami is rocky pine land intersected with marshy areas they call glades. It has no agricultural use. The Indians use it for hunting deer and it is sometimes referred to as the Indian Hunting Grounds. No one lives there. The rocky nature of the soil makes it unsuitable for agriculture but even if it could be farmed the great storms that sweep over the southern end of the peninsula in the fall would make farming impossible.” From December 1902 until June 1903 Krome surveyed from his permanent camp south of Homestead (in the Royal Palm Park area) to Cape Sable and around by boat to Card Sound. He found Jackson’s stakes and blazes so accurate that he gained great respect for his predecessor and named his permanent camp Camp Jackson. As a result of his six-month survey it was determined that the route along the keys was the better one. The next winter with many of the same crew Krome surveyed that route as far as Jewfish Creek. Krome wrote a report of his Cape Sable survey entitled “Railway Location in the Florida Everglades” which was printed in two issues of the Engineering Record, April 2 and 9, 1904, and reveals his careful planning and meticulous attention to details. Later he was to become chief engineer of the Key West Extension and successfully completed it. South Florida had won his heart; he settled here permanently, married Isabel Burns and remained in Homestead until his death in 1929. In his honor an important artery is named Krome Avenue. Jean C.

Mr. Williams was one of the three surviving original directors of the Ithaca Trust Company, and a member of the Board of Trustees of the University, having been elected to the latter body to succeed the late Andrew D.

Williams was born at Binghamton on January 10, 1854, and received his education in the schools of that city. He was appointed assistant to the treasurer of Cornell University in May, 1872, and acting treasurer in September, 1879. On June 17, 1885 he was elected treasurer of the University, and held that office continuously until June 16, 1914, when he was elected to the newly-created office of comptroller. He was also secretary of the Board of Trustees from June, 1894, until November, 1914. A resolution passed by the Board of ‘Trustees two years ago, when Mr. Williams sent in his resignation as comptroller, expressed appreciation of his constant and unselfish service in the interests of the University. “The significant thing in Mr. Williams’ work for this University is his devotion of a rare skill, the fruit of years of laborious study, to an unselfish service. Universities cannot buy service of this character from selfish persons,” states the resolution. He was retired in June, 1919, with a Carnegie pension, to which he was entitled by reason of his age and the length and character of his service. Mr. Williams has for many years been identified with various organizations in Ithaca. He was vice-president of the Ithaca Trust Company, a vice president of the Ithaca Savings Bank, and a director of the First National Bank. He was a trustee of the City -Hospital Association in which he was deeply interested, and a member of the Board of Commerce. He also served during the war as a member of the disbursements committee of the War Chest. Mr. Williams was one of the founders of the Town and Gown Club, and for many years a member of the Ithaca Country Club of which he was president for two years. He declined re-election this year on account of his health. He was an active member of the Protective Police and for many years an officer of that body. Mr. Williams was also a Mason and a member of St. Augustine Commandery, Knights Templar. Prominent Ithaca business men joined the University community in mourning his passing.

Early in 1915 at the invitation of Dr. Krauskopf, my son, Drue Nunez Allman, a Princeton-Cornell man, accepted the position of professor of horticulture, succeeding Mr. A. M. Fancourt. The duties of the head of that department were much greater than at present, as several instructors have since divided the work. He inherited the following responsibilities:--The greenhouses--the vegetable gardens--the nursery--the lawns--the landscape department--the memorial tree care--emergency repairs to buildings--reception committee of one for visitors and guests of the School--class instructor in all horticultural subjects, also certain academic high school subjects. Drue 534 Allman, B.Sc., M.A., was graduated in agriculture from Cornell and was later appointed an assistant professor at that University. He was perhaps the first to introduce a real school spirit at The National Farm School. He wrote many of their songs, which are still sung, helped to form glee and instrumental clubs, science, literary and dramatic societies. In those days there was enough to keep a young man busy from 6 in the morning until past midnight. Therefore, he had not the time to become restless nor dissatisfied. He reorganized much of the work along departmental lines, i.e., the most trusted students were made foremen of the several sub-divisions and responsible to him for the work allotted to them. On Friday evenings, after Chapel service, a meeting of these student foremen was held in his study. Plans for the coming week were informally discussed, complaints were heard and adjusted. These extra-curricular activities helped relieve the monotony of long winter evenings. Trips to Doylestown became less popular. There was too much going on at The National Farm School. Despite the small size of the student body, considerable amount of latent musical, literary and histrionic talent was available. The comraderie was splendid. The old potting shed, attached to the greenhouse, was in such a deplorable condition, that either a renovated building, or a new structure, was necessary. At this point, thru the generosity of Harry B. Hirsh, Vice President of the School, a beautiful show and work-room was erected upon the site of the old shed. It is today architecturally one of the gems of the Farm School, an inspiration to every serious young floriculturist who enters its portals. Professor Allman found the nurseries in very bad shape. Much time was spent in removing old and worthless trees, and again as much time was required to clean up. About $200.00, a large appropriation in those early days, was invested in young evergreens and deciduous hardy shrubs. Our sales at that time were almost nil, because we had nothing large enough to sell. These very plants now adorning the campus buildings and lawns are over 25 feet in height. Therefore, a very profitable investment. Some of the Japanese Maples, purchased as seedlings for 35c each, now bring as high as $40.00 per plant. A new greenhouse, very badly needed, was erected in memory of Mrs. Rose Krauskopf by her children. The students did the glazing and planting as well as any experts could have done. Student project gardens were instituted, each student renting a small plot of ground at 50c for the season, to be used according to his heart’s desire for all kinds of growing plants. Cash prizes were awarded to the best gardens. This caused great interest, and similar projects were inaugurated in other departments. The war changed everything.”Food will win the war!” The project gardens were turned into a truck patch, and they did produce plenty of food. Three of the faculty were called to the colors. Those who remained had a hectic time sharing the extra burdens of instruction and supervision, so that this young horticul- W278 Walter Buswell Balch turist undertook the teaching of English, Algebra and History. There were no comfortable quarters for either faculty or students. Bathrooms were almost unknown. The heating system was not as effective as today. They had some severely cold winters at the Farm School. To break the ice in the bedroom pitcher during the early winter mornings was not unusual. Then, as now, there were no slack periods. Rather, it was a question of doing five or six important jobs at one time-and they got away with it. Students, raw material of all degrees of education, were not as carefully selected as at present. Nevertheless, many were good, wholesome chaps. Natural aptness and alertness ran from one extreme to the other, making teaching difficult, in comparison to the School of today, where almost 90 percent of the students are high school graduates. The depletion of classes, caused by student resignations, was ’17 Men: In Palo Alto, Cal., Walter B.

Gun Fired by Accident Causes Death of George R. Phipps. Bond House Manager Is Believed to Have Discharged Weapon in Falling From Tree at East Aurora. Accidental discharge of a shotgun reclining against the trunk of the tree in which he was working Sunday was held to be the cause of the death of George R. Phipps, 38, of Girdle road, near East Aurora. Mr. Phipps, who was manager of the Buffalo branch of the Guaranty Company of New York, with offices in the Ellicott Square building, Buffalo, had been a resident of East Aurora for seven years. The shotgun, it is believed, had been placed against the tree by Mr. Phipps before he climbed a ladder resting against the top. The ladder, it is thought, slipped, throwing Mr. Phipps against the gun and causing its discharge. There were no witnesses. Death is believed to have been instantaneous. Mr. Phipps had planned to shoot crows which had done considerable damage to his estate and had been eating food left there for the pheasants. There was no house on the country estate although it had been planned to build there this summer. Mr. Phipps’ home is in East Aurora. With his wife, Mr. Phipps left his East Aurora home Sunday afternoon to perform several tasks on the new estate. They spent the afternoon together and early in the evening Mrs. Phipps returned home to prepare dinner. It was then that the accident occurred. The report of a shotgun about 7 P. M. was heard by a neighbor. Little attention was paid to the report as crows and other pests are shot frequently. Mrs. Phipps returned to the estate for her husband and found the lights of the car burning and boots which he had worn while working, resting on the floor. Upon her failure to locate him, Mrs. Phipps sought aid. Neighbors were enlisted in the search and it is believed a part of about 50 trod about the Girdle road estate. His body was located about an hour after the search began. The shotgun which is believed to have caused the death of Mr. Phipps was found a few feet from the tree, evidently thrown by the recoil after it fired. The ladder also was found on the ground directly behind the tree. Neighbors believed Mr. Phipps lost his balance on the ladder after having cut away a dead branch near the tree-top. This is believed to have caused the ladder to swing out from the tree. The severed branch was found at its foot. It is said Mr. Phipps, who was a Cornell graduate, had been successful in business life and that his family life was happy. During the war Mr. Phipps served as a captain in charge of the ground school at Cornell university. Surviving him are his wife and two daughters, Pollee and Anne, who reside at 861 Chestnut Hill, East Aurora, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Phipps, of 142 Dorchester road, Buffalo.

W294 & W398 Charles Edward Courtney Charles E. Courtney Dies. Rowing Coach Succumbs to Apoplexy After Thirty-seven Years of Active and Extraordinary Service. Charles E. Courtney, the most famous of American rowing coaches, and affectionately known to all Cornell men as “The Old Man” died at noon on July 17, following a stroke of apoplexy, at his Summer cottage, “The Castle,” at Farley’s Point, Cayuga Lake. He went out on the lake as usual in 541 the morning to fish, but was seen about eleven o’clock pulling for the shore. On reaching the shore he left his boat and oars carelessly, as if in distress, and walked up to the cottage. When his wife found him he was losing consciousness, and when she returned with help, he was dead. The Old Man had never been his old self since he was hurt in 1915, at Highland Falls, in a sleeper on the way to Poughkeepsie. For seven weeks after his return to Ithaca he lay in the hospital. For many weeks after that he was a semi-invalid, but his indomitable will persisted over physical pain and mental suffering and he returned to coaching, going to Poughkeepsie again with the crews in 1916. There he was ill, too ill to do much coaching, and for a time it was feared that he would have to return home before the race. He doggedly stuck to it, however, until the race was over. Then he came home and announced his retirement. But in 1919, after acting as advisory coach for two years, he was able to return to active coaching and those intimate with him are under the impression that he 542 was hoping to return to the job this fall. He had, however, been subject for some time to attacks of bleeding at the nose, and was well aware of how his end would probably come. Charles Edward Courtney was born at Union Springs on November 13, 1849. His early education was obtained at the Friends’ Academy. He learned the carpenter’s trade, but was always fond of rowing, and in his early teens began sculling. Professor Hewett, in his “History of Cornell University,” quotes Mr. Courtney as follows: “From the time I was old enough to walk, I was always around the water. I could swim at five or six years of age, as soon as I had strength enough, and I was always crazy to go into the skiffs. Union Springs at that time was the most noted place in the State for pleasure and racing yachts. There was a great strife between the Springs and Aurora. Sometimes they got a boat that would beat ours and then our people would go down to Aurora and return the compliment. I can well remember how I used to run away from school to help the boys put black lead on the bottom of the boats and polish ’em up. Each of us had his favorite, and when they were all ready to go forth to race we could at least stand on the dock and cheer for them. I could row a boat when I was seven and go anywhere on the water, and we had races about every evening after school. When I was about twelve years old I made up my mind that I could build a boat of my own. I got hold of some hemlock boards for the sides and a two-inch plant for the bottom, but, boy-like cut the plank all around with an axe, canoeshape and tried to fit it inside of the boards, when I ought to have nailed the plank right on the boards and then trimmed off enough all around the outside. Of course it was a poor job, and I took yellow clay and plastered it into the crevices, but the water would force it out in no time and then the boat went down like lead. In the summer of 1868, at the watersports regatta at Aurora, with a plain, rudely constructed canoe, young Courtney won his first race over two well known scullers, with the latest type of narrow boat, crossing the line half a mile ahead of his nearest competitor. His next race was on Onondaga Lake, at Syracuse, in 1873. He won by a quarter of a mile, and kept the prize, a gold watch, for more than twenty years. In the same year he rowed at Saratoga. There were twelve others rowing but Courtney was so far ahead at one time that a man in a boat alongside the course asked him to stop and have some lemonade; but instead he rowed all the harder. The hardest race that Courtney ever rowed, he often declared, was a double scull race at Saratoga, with Frank Yates, as partner. The race, over a two-mile course, was the fastest ever rowed in that kind of boat. The record of 12:16 still stands. The one incident in Courtney’s early rowing career over which a cloud was thrown was his second race with Hanlan, a great sculler. Though blameless for what happened, the youthful sculler was held accountable by many. Hanlan had been carousing the day before the race and his friends, who had bet heavily on him, became frightened. They went to Courtney and offered him $6,000 if he would throw the race. He told them that if Hanlan won he would have row to do it. The next morning Courtney’s shell was found cut in two and the public put the blame on the youth declaring that he had taken that method of throwing the race. He lived down the false accusation, but it was many years fore the public would believe that had not handed the race to Hanlan. In all he took part as an amateur in 89 single scull and 15 or 16 double scull races without losing a race. Including his professional career he entered in 134 races, of which he lost only seven. It was in 1883 that Mr. Courtney began coaching the Cornell crews but did not become a resident coach until 1888, when Cornell began putting an eight-oared boat on the water. Cornell’s rowing record since Mr. Courtney became coach in 1883 has be impressive. Altogether his crews, varsity, fresh-man, four, 543 and junior varsity have rowed 127 races exclusive of junior varsity races prior to 1914, when it became a recognized big race; and of the 127 Cornell has won 93. The varsity has won the regatta of the Intercollegiate Rowing Association thirteen times, has taken second place six times, and third place four times. The ten defeats were administered, five by Syracuse, three by Penn, and two by Columbia. With the exception of the three years ’98, ’99, and ’00 no crew has defeated Cornell in successive years. Cornell has won from Harvard’s varsity nine times, and has lost to them three; has won four non-collegiate races; has lost one and won one foreign race; and has won twenty other collegiate varsity races, losing but four. The varsities coached by Mr. Courtney, then, have won forty-seven races and lost eighteen. The freshmen in the same period have won thirty-two races and lost eleven, which fifteen winners were at the regatta of the Intercollegiate Rowing Association, and seven losers. The four-oared race of the Intercollegiate Regatta, discontinued in 1913, went to Cornell ten times, to Syracuse three times, and to Penn twice. Cornell took second three times, third once, and fourth once. The junior varsity which replaced this race on the Intercollegiate Regatta’s schedule has gone to Cornell all four times. In the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Cornell has won at least one race each year except two. In ’95, she was second in the only race rowed. In 1900 she was third in all three races. Out of twenty-three regattas Cornell has seven “clean-sweeps” to her credit. Since 1907 she has won at least two of the three races at each regatta. Of sixty-four races rowed at the regattas of this association in twenty-three years, Cornell was first in forty-three, second in fourteen, third in six, and fifth in one, the 1910 freshman crew’s race, this last being the only time she has been last in any race of the association. All records for the Poughkeepsie course are held by Cornell crews: varsity, four-mile, 18:53 1/5, made in 1901; freshman, two-mile, 9:07 3/5, made in 1909; four-oared, two mile, 10:01, made in 1909; and junior varsity, two-mile, 10:00 1/5, made in 1915. Mr. Courtney considered his three crews this season as among the best he had ever turned out and was hopeful that a clean sweep would be made. Many have contended that he erred when he chose the heavy boat for the varsity race; but it was the error of judgment in the boat which lost the race and not any lack of ability on the part of Courtney or the crew, or any lack of judgment on his part. Courtney was a strict disciplinarian, demanding always of his men that they should give all they had to their rowing. His training rules were adhered to without question, or the oarsman got out. Only last spring a fine oarsman was dropped from the squad for failure to live up to the training orders. Two stories of his strict methods have often been told. One involves his now celebrated “shortcake” crew of 1897. Shortly before the Poughkeepsie races the coach, in a way all his own, learned that his varsity crew had broken training to indulge in a shortcake Name: Guy F Whitney Father’s Surname: Whitney Death treat.

He also developed the famous Courtney stroke, which no other coach has been quite able to imitate, and which has been a decisive factor in Cornell’s victories. Mr. Courtney himself described it in Professor Hewett’s history as follows: “From the beginning of the stroke the backs of the men are kept straight as are also the arms until the body has its full swing; then the hands are brought quickly up to the body, the elbows being kept low and close to the sides. Instead of putting the oar into the water at right angles, it goes in at an angle of about forty-five degrees, turning after it is in the water. The slide is not started until the oarsman has passed the erect 1890. Ernest Frederick Eidlitz, 31 Nassau St., New York City. Lawyer. * Cor. sec., pres. * b.

Engineering, invention, salesmanship and sundry other occupations are united in the chronicle of Mr. Corey’s professional work. Fred Brainard Corey was originally a New York man, born at Homer, Sep- tember 28, 1869, taking up electrical engineering studies at Cornell University and graduating in 1892 with the degree of mechanical engineer. Immediately thereafter he went into the employ of the Elektron Manufacturing Company, of Springfield, Mass., makers of the once popu- lar Perret electric motors and generators. Several months’ intensive training in their office and factory departments fitted him to become the Eastern New England repre- sentative at Boston, and he thus acquired early a practical sales and engineering experience. He is now efficiency engineer of the Pittsburgh Valve & Fittings Company, making his home at Barberton, Ohio. But during the intervening years he was active in a wide range of endeavor, serving successively the A. B.

He graduated in 1889 with 546 the degree of C.E. He was a member of the track team and in the meet of the New York Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1887, won the mile run. In his senior year, he was class athletic director and a member of the Athletic Council. He was also a member of the Christian Association. Following his graduation, he was appointed a computer in the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. In 1892-3 he was an assistant astronomer in charge of a field party for the United States and Mexican International Boundary Commission. The next year he returned to the geodetic survey work and in 1895 began a term of three years as an instructor in civil engineering at Cornell. In 1898 he returned again to geodetic work as an expert computer and geodesist and in 1900 became inspector of geodetic work and chief of the computing division in the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. He held this position until 1909 when he assumed the post at Northwestern University which he held at his death. He became particularly noted for his establishment of the theory of isostasy, which tends to establish that earthquakes are caused by movements of the earth’s crust; for this he was awarded the Victoria Medal by the Royal Geographical Society of Great Britain. Another great accomplishment was his computation of the distance between the poles as being 7,926.678 miles and the diameter of the earth as 7,899.964 miles. These measurements were but recently accepted by the International Geodetic and Physical Union at Madrid. He was a member of the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics from 1915 to 1923; a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, the American Astronomical Society, the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Western Society of Engineers; and a research associate of the Carnegie Institution of Washington.

W307 Charles Abram Ellwood Necrology. ’96 PhB—Charles Abram Ellwood, internationally known sociologist and professor of sociology at Duke University from 1930 until his retirement in June, 1944, September 25,1946, at his home, 129 Pinecrest Road, Durham, N. C. He was called to Duke from the University of Missouri, where he had taught for more than twenty-nine years, to organize and head a department of sociology. A past president of the American Sociological Society, of the International Institute of Sociology, and of the national society of Pi Gamma Mu, he was the author of twelve books, which have been translated and published in French, German, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. They include Sociology and Modern Social Problems, An Introduction to Social Psychology, The Reconstruction of Religion, and A History of Social Philosophy. This year, Ellwood presented to Duke University a replica of the stone bench which stands in front of Goldwin Smith Hall. From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 49, No. 6, 1 Nov 1946, p. 156. Charles Abram Ellwood January 20, 1873 - Septem- ber 25, 1946. Charles A. Ellwood was the 14th President of the American Sociological Society (name later changed to Association). His Presidential Address, “Intolerance,” was delivered at the organization’s annual meeting in 549 Chicago in 1924 and was later published in the Proceedings of the 1924 Annual Meeting. Upon his death in 1946, several obituaries for Dr. Ellwood were published, including one by Edgar T. Thompson (ASR 11:753-754) and one by Howard E. Jensen (AJS 52:362). Howard W. Odum’s 1951 publication, American Sociology: The Story of Sociology in the United States through 1950 contained the following biography of Charles A. Ellwood (see pages 128-131): The fourteenth president of the American Sociological Society, Charles A. Ellwood, in 1924, might very well be selected as one of the three of the first presidents who had a thorough education in sociology, although he, too, had minored strongly in economics and had been influenced by Ely. In addition to starting with the dynamic Ross at Cornell, he also worked with W. F. Willcox and J. W. Jenks. But his real training was with Small, Henderson, Thomas, and Vincent at Chicago, from which point on he was a full-fledged sociologist. In his background in general, however, he conformed to the patterns of the early years of twentieth-century sociology. He was born in New York, January 20, 1873, and was graduated from Cornell University in 1896; yet thereafter he became an exponent of the Middle States, first with his studying at Chicago, then in his transitional efforts to get located at Nebraska, then finally at the University of Missouri where he became one of the leading American sociologists for thirty years, before building another department at Duke University for still another fifteen years. Like Small, Blackmar, Hayes, and Weatherly before him, he also studied in Europe and returned to receive his Ph.D. degree under Small at Chicago in 1899. Like them, he also received considerable momentum from certain economists, particularly Ely and Jenks, but, unlike his predecessors, he received his doctor’s degree at the earlier age of twenty-six, and was the first of the presidents who came all the way up through university training in sociology. His experience was similar to that of others of his contemporaries in sociology, as well as in economics and political science, in that it was difficult to find a position in sociology in any university. He thus went directly as secretary of a charity organization society at Lincoln, Nebraska, where he could also lecture in sociology at the University of Nebraska, all for perhaps less than a thousand dollars a year. Then there was an offer of a professorship of sociology at the University of Missouri at $1500 which he accepted with his characteristic eagerness and to which he devoted himself powerfully for three decades. Ellwood was like his earlier contemporaries in that he devoted himself to much work, many contact and varied teaching, having taught in perhaps a baker’s dozen institutions during the summer or on leave of absence from Missouri or Duke. Among others, he was visiting professor, largely in summers, at Columbia, Chicago, Colorado, Southern California, Utah, Wisconsin, Harvard, Northwestern. In addition to his prominence in was a handicap to social progress. Intolerance breeds the American Sociological Society, he, like Hayes and separation, misunderstanding, and hostility between Weatherly and Howard, was president of the State groups, which may lead to civic disorder and revolution.

Many at The New Yorker believed the precisely penciled Gould proofs sustained its suavity of style. David Remnick, the magazine’s editor, once said: “I think if there is an indispensable person here, it’s Eleanor Gould. The relationship to her is as intimate as it gets; she has been inside my sentences.” Invoking Harold Ross, the magazine’s founding editor, Mr. Hamburger said, p. 572. “It is my impression that she brought to fruition an idea W316 Wilson Mosher Gould that Ross had, that everything should be looked at by a skeptical eye, not a cynical one, before it was presented to Name: Wilson Mosher Gould; Born: abt 1876; Father: James the public.” Mr. Hamburger, who was interviewed several A.

She was not a fact-checker, though she did find errors. She was not a story editor, copy editor or proofreader. She did not enter the process until an article had been examined by lawyers and editors and was in galley proof, close to the last minute. She worked her way down both margins, penciling corrections and suggestions in a legible hand, always providing her rationale. “A miracle to watch,” said Edith From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 3, No. 30, 1 May 1901, Iglauer, an editor who once worked with her. “The words p. 229. danced across the page.” As all editors know, showing Name: Wilson Mosher Gould; Age: 43; Residence: 38 Miller 553 such a thing to a tetchy or insecure writer might induce a tantrum. “Not every writer gets to see a Gould proof,” Mr. deaf since 1990, all questions had to be written; because Angell said while she was still on the job. “It’s a challenge. of her status as a legendary editor, spelling counted.

Miss Gould never used a computer and deadline pressure could sometimes render her handwritten work moot, especially during Tina Brown’s chaotic six years as editor. Eleanor Gould was born Oct. 3, 1917, in Newark, N.Y., to Wilson Mosher Gould, a lawyer, and Eleanor Loveland Gould. The family moved to Ohio and Eleanor graduated from high school in East Palestine, Ohio, in 1934. She won a scholarship to Oberlin and graduated summa cum laude with a major in English in 1938. Aline Kilmer, a poet in New Jersey, became her mentor after years of correspondence Eleanor had initiated at 14. Kilmer taught her editing and helped her come to New York, and after several miserably paid editing jobs she applied to The New Yorker. There was a myth that she flyspecked an entire issue and enclosed it with her application. But she described an application of less hubris: she noted two mistakes in recent issues, including, good Lord, a “different than.” She joined The New Yorker Nov. 5, 1945. Her marriage to Frederick A. Packard, also on the magazine’s staff, came a year later, and the birth of their only child, Susan, a little more than a year after that. Her daughter and two grandsons survive. In 1952, the family moved to Central Park West and 101st Street, where Miss Gould remained as long as she worked. She took a bus to the office on West 43rd Street, carrying a small lunch in an old shoe bag. For amusement, Miss Gould, who belonged at one time to Mensa, an organization of the supersmart, would factor the four-digit bus identification numbers. In an interview in the summer of 1998, Miss Gould said she hoped to “complete a century of Packards” at The New Yorker. Her husband worked there for 45 years before he died in 1974. But for the stroke the year before, Miss Gould would have reached 55 years in 2000. She was proud of her status. She cited the pinnacle she reached in 1972: a separate credit in “The Elements of Style,” the hugely popular text written by William Strunk Jr. and Necrology. ’96 ME(EE)—William Logan Benitz, June 1, 1942., in South Bend, Ind.

During his tenure Vedder tirelessly sought to expand the program and was instrumental in separating civil engineering from mathematics with the creation of the Department of Civil Engineering in 1909, which he then headed until his retirement circa 1925. “During his service at M.A.C. he constructed a sewer system, directed numerous surveys, constructed bridges, designed systems of plumbing; for outside parties inspecting and building bridges, plotted city subdivisions [including the Oakwood plat], investigated the water power of streams; engineering for electric and steam railroads; planned railroad for Lansing manufactures; state examiner of plots 1907 to 1910.” H.

W327 Harry Leonard Taylor Following The Stars Of Other Years By Robert J. Kane ’34, Director Of Athletics. 1.—From Diamond to Bench: Harry L. Taylor ’88. The Familiar American saga, “farm boy makes good in city,” has never been more fluently portrayed than by Judge Harry Leonard Taylor, AB ’88, LLB ’93. A country bumpkin from nearby Halsey Valley, he attended Spencer Union School for two of his secondary-school years and Ithaca High School, the other two. No academic honors, he says, “except to pass all examinations in due course.” He was a good high-school baseball player, though. Taylor came into his own at Cornell and flourished in all endeavors there and thereafter. Phi Beta Kappa, star baseball player, a renowned, active, and popular student, he went on to become an outstanding 559 professional baseball player and thence a leading Buffalo lawyer, county judge, Justice of the Supreme Court, and finally, Justice of the Appellate Division, Supreme Court of New York State. But let him tell his absorbing story” in his own succinct, judicial language: “I entered Cornell in the fall of 1884 because my parents wanted me to get a good education. Although there was a baseball team at Cornell from the day the first nine men enrolled, it did not amount to much until about the time I entered. There were some excellent players in school at that time: Harry Dimon, Bob Newberry, George Ruyter, Franklin Olin. In my Freshman year we did not lose a game and we ended the season with a glorious victory over Columbia, 10-4. I played third base the first year and was catcher the next three and again in 1893. There were no rules then. All you had to be was a bona-fide student and even that was not too important. Plays Professional Baseball “After graduation in June, 1888, I played professional baseball in the Clark Dillenbeck (W320), John R. Mott (W348), Harry L. Taylor (W327), Michael B. Heller (W335), Alfred H. Eldredge (W251) minors and taught at Media (Pa.) Prep School. In 1890, I went up to the majors, playing with Louisville, which was in the American Association. That year, Brooklyn won the National and Louisville, the American, and we played a World Series. After each team won three games, the seventh was a tie and then the weather got so cold we quit, so there was no champion. Louisville finished far down in 1891 and 1892. I don’t recall my batting average for all the years, but I remember one year I had an even .300. I was the lead-off hitter each year I was at Louisville and played first base. After the 1890 season, the New York Giants attempted to ‘buy’ me, but the deal did not go through. “In the fall of 1892, I went back to Cornell and received my Law degree in June of 1893. I played for Cornell that spring and then went with Baltimore, which had acquired me from Louisville for the rest of the year. “On the advice and recommendation of (then) Professor Charles Evans Hughes, I took a position with a law firm in Buffalo and I have been here ever since. Governor Higgins appointed me County Judge of Erie County in December, 1906, to fill out an unexpired term and the following November I was duly elected to the office for a sixyear term. In the fall of 1913., I was elected to the Supreme Court and reelected in 1927. In 1924, Governor Alfred E. Smith designated me to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, Fourth Department, where I 560 served until December, 1936. And there the Constitution of the United States stopped me. I had reached retirement age. President White a Partisan “One of the things I shall always remember about playing baseball for Cornell was the Columbia game in Ithaca in 1885, played on the Quadrangle. Sullivan, the Columbia pitcher, hit our catcher, Hall, on the head with a pitched ball. Dear old President Andrew D. White darted from his seat on the sidelines, stopped the game, strode out on the field in high silk hat and with beard flying, and gave the Columbia pitcher a stiff lecture, then walked back to his seat and the game resumed. “I always liked the thrill and excitement of athletic competition and enjoyed particularly my playing days at Cornell. There were no coaches then and we worked things out together, and with winning there was a great sense of accomplishment. Cornell has meant much to me and still does. I was an alumni member of the Board of Trustees for ten years while I was on the bench.” It was Taylor’s custom for several years after graduation to come back to the Campus and help out in any way he could. At the Junior Smoker of March 12, 1898, he was master of ceremonies. The Sun reported that the principal speaker, Professor E. W. Huffcut, referring to his frequent visits, spoke of him as “Harry ‘Loyal’ Taylor, one of the graduates who has passed on to us that priceless treasure, true Cornell spirit.” Meticulous Coach Judge Taylor, in good health at eighty-five, resides with his sister at the Hotel as official referee.

Mr. Taylor reached was on the bench for the Vermont game in which Cornell the major leagues with Louisville in the old American was beaten, 9-5.

Retired State Supreme Court Member Dies at 89—Played Ball in Major Leagues. Buffalo, July 12 (AP)—Harry L. Taylor, retired State Supreme Court Justice and former major league baseball player, died today after a long illness. His age was 89. Mr. Taylor retired as an official referee in 1944 after thirty-eight years as a jurist. He had served as Erie county Judge for seven years until elected to the State Supreme Court in 1913. He was re-elected in 1927. Mr. Taylor was appointed to the Appellate Division by the late Gov. Alfred E. Smith in 1924. He continued to serve on the higher court until his retirement in 1936. He had practiced law privately for three years after he retired 561 from the Watertown high school, he won a scholarship at Cornell University. In 1884 he entered this institution and graduated in a course of science and letters in 1888. For about a year he was engaged in the grocery business at Elmira, New York, and then returned to the homestead, where he has since been successfully engaged in agriculture and dairying to the present time. He is a member of Watertown Grange, of which he was master two years, and of Watertown Lodge No. 49, Free and Accepted Masons. He also affiliates with the Burr’s Mills Congregational church, and in politics has always advocated and sustained the principles of the Republican organization. He has held the office of justice of the peace since 1898, and his official career has proved satisfactory to his townsmen and conferred credit upon himself. Like his progenitors, Mr. Sawyer is a man of affairs. As a business man he has the esteem of all who have come in contact with him. As an officer he is respected for his efforts to adjust differences and the rectitude of his decisions, and for his regard for the public interests, as a member of the town board. As a citizen he is ever actuated by a desire for the betterment of society. As a son and husband he sustains the character of the Sawyers, and enjoys the affection and confidence of his family. Mr. Sawyer was married, June 16, 1887, toMiss Lillian Delphine Bowdish, daughter of Philander and Augusta Lucinda (Gorham) Bowdish. She was born September 4. 1862, in the town of Sherbin, Chenango county. New York. She is a woman of education and refinement, and occasionally prepares articles which are delivered before Watertown Grange, in which she is a valued member. She also contributes to newspapers in description of her travels, which work is appreciated by her many friends. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer is a pleasant one, replete with the comforts of life, and here hospitality is true and sincere, entertaining friends with that thoughtful care which is a part of their natures, inherited from worthy ancestors.

He lived at 14 Burston 565 Brooke not only was a recognition of Menocal’s merit and executive ability, but was to a certain extent a reward for perhaps the most striking act of personal heroism performed in the Cuban war. It was in the spring of 1897 that the city of Guaymaro in Camaguey was besieged by Garcia’s forces and captured after a stubborn resistance on the part of the enemy. Americans now know what kind of a fight Spaniards can make when placed behind entrenchments and fortifications. At Guaymaro, after the outer defences had been abandoned, a massive stone cathedral in the center of the place, heavily garrisoned by men who kept up a merciless fire from the long, narrow windows and protected arches, minarets and belfries, promised to be almost impregnable. While this citadel remained in the hands of the Spaniards the capture of Guaymaro was impossible. In this emergency Menocal came to the rescue. Under a heavy fire, encumbered with a torpedo of dynamite, he made his way to the church, from which came a perfect hailstorm of bullets. Watching his chance, little by little he neared the cathedral one last dash and he gained the shelter of the edifice itself, placed the bomb under the edge of the great stone wall, and in an instant was away again. From a protected point fifty yards distant he seized the rifle of a companion and sent a bullet into the dynamite. The explosion which followed tore out the entire end of the cathedral, whereupon the garrison hauled down the Spanish flag and surrendered to General Garcia, and Guaymaro became henceforth the city of Cuba Libre. For this deed Colonel Menocal was made a brigadier general. Up to the time of his appointment as chief of the Havana police General Menocal was stationed at Marianao, where the excellent influence which he exercised over the men in his command won the admiration of General Brooke and the entire staff of American officers in Havana. It is- needless to say that he is loved in his native city, where his family have held a high social position for more than a century. When only sixteen, Mario Menocal was sent from Cuba to this country to be educated. After four years of preparatory work he entered Cornell in the course in Civil Engineering. Being a popular man and a good fellow, he received an election to Delta Kappa Epsilon, and in his last two years was elected to Bench and Board and the Mermaid. Withal he was a good student, and was graduated in the class of ’88 with the degree of Civil Engineer. A little before the breaking out of the last revolution he returned to Havana, where General Martinez Campos ordered him to proceed as an engineer to Porto Principe to give color to the rumor that a railroad was to be constructed from the latter city to Santa Cruz on the south coast. This proposition was intended to pacify the people of that province and prevent them from joining the revolt. But no sooner did General Maximo Gomez cross the line from Oriente into Camaguey than Menocal dropped his quadrant, shouldered his rifle, and presented himself to the commander of the insurgent forces. General Gomez immediately placed him on his staff as a lieutenant, and soon promoted him to the rank of captain for bravery and ability displayed at the battles of Altagracia and Mulato, 566 Mario Garcia Menocal which took place in the summer of ’95, and afterwards made him a commandante or major. In such high esteem were Menocal’s services held that he was elected assistant secretary of war by the Cuban Assembly which met in the following September. The young officer, however, preferred the more active duties of the field, and in the spring of 1896 he was transferred to the forces of General Calixto Garcia, who had just landed near Baracoa. “It was during the campaign in May of 1896, that I first met Mario Menocal, then a colonel near the Cauto River,” writes a newspaper correspondent. “It seems good,” he remarked, “to meet some one once more who has come to the field direct from New York. It is a great old town,” he sighed. After a moment, which evidently recalled some pleasant recollection, he continued: “Tell me what is now on at the Broadway theaters.” This within hearing of rifle volleys which the Spanish forces of Jiguani were firing at a party of Cuban cavalry suggested anything but the awful realities of war. The correspondent told him of the different plays then running, as well as he could recall them while mounted couriers momentarily brought reports of the success of the insurgent force which was engaged in driving away cattle from under the enemy’s guns in the fortified suburbs of the town near by. Aside from the excellent work inaugurated in the police department by its new chief, Menocal is serving as a valuable object lesson to that large body of ill-informed and pessimistic Americans who not only doubt, but, with singular assurance, assert that all talk about the Cubans governing themselves for at least several years to come is idiotic. The Menocals have been conspicuous as leaders in every revolution against Spanish rule in Cuba since the people of that unfortunate country commenced to send their sons to the United States to be educated. The mother, sisters, and daughters of the Menocal family are quite as patriotic as the male members. General Menocal’s mother sent her four sons, all she had, to battle for freedom, and when at Marianao she visited the general a few days ago, joy and pride were pictured in every lineament of her handsome face. “As chief of police,” she said, “Mario can do much good. Of course I am proud of him he has fought for Cuba since the first battle-cry of liberty was sounded by Jose Marti. Were he not my son I would exact from him a renewal of his promise never to desist in his efforts until our island republic is firmly and honorably established under the protection of the United States.” The new chief ’s uncle, Aniceto Menocal, is the engineering expert of Washington who was intrusted with the report on the Nicaragua Canal route. One of his cousins is the well-known surgeon and physician of Havana, Dr. Raimundo Menocal. Another is the distinguished artist, Armando Menocal, who painted that famous masterpiece of the Fortuny school which was exhibited at the World’s Fair, “Columbus in Chains.” The chains, however, were afterward painted out at the express request of the Spanish crown. General Menocal is making an efficient and satisfactory chief of police. Untiring energy, quickness in thought and action, perfect control of temper, and absolute fearlessness in the face of danger are his most prominent characteristics. Although under thirty, the past four years in the field have given him a wonderful experience in enforcing obedience and in controlling both large and small bodies of men. More than all, he has the respect, confidence and esteem and will receive the support of the better element of Havana. The corrupt know that they cannot buy him, and the criminal that they cannot trifle with him. From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 1, No. 1, 5 Apr 1899, p. 1. Mario Garcia Menocal, C.E., ’88, is to be inaugurated President of the Republic of Cuba next Tuesday. From American college student to ruler of an island nation sounds like an interesting career, and that is what Menocal has had. He began as an engineer; joined the Cuban revolutionary army and was a major-general before he was thirty; was chief of police of Havana after the war, and inspectorgeneral of public works, and for several years has been the manager of the 165,000-acre plantation of the Chaparra Sugar Company. The Menocals have been a family of rank in Havana for more than a century. The Presidentelect’s uncle, Aniceto Menocal, was a civil engineer in the United States Navy and was the chief engineer of all the government surveys for establishing the practicability of Atlantic-Pacific canal routes. One of his cousins became distinguished as a surgeon, another as a painter. Mario Menocal came to this country and began the study of civil engineering at Cornell when he was sixteen years old. Foreign students in American universities often find the “student life” difficult to enter, but Menocal spoke English well and made friends easily. He was a member of the D. K. E. fraternity and in his upperclass years he was 567 elected to Bench and Board and to Mermaid. He was a good student and a good engineer. When he graduated he went to work for the Nicaragua Canal Company. Two years afterward he returned to Cuba and for the next five years was employed there as an engineer, part of the time by the government. Then came the revolt of 1895. No sooner did Jose Marti land at Cabonico with Maximo Gomez and begin hostilities in the eastern end of the island than Menocal joined the rebel army and offered his services. He was made a lieutenant on General Gomez’s staff. As the revolution went on his promotion in rank was rapid. There are stories of deeds of personal bravery told to account for these promotions. There is no reason to doubt the truth of the stories, but the probability is that Menocal was promoted chiefly because his character and training fitted him for high command. In September, 1895, the Cuban Assembly elected him assistant secretary of war, but he preferred to stay where the fighting was. “It was during the campaign in May of 1896 that I first met Mario Menocal, then a colonel, near the Cauto River,” wrote an American newspaper correspondent. “It seems good,” he said, “to meet some one who has come direct from New York. It’s a great old town. What plays are on at the theatres now?” “This,” remarked the correspondent, “within hearing of rifle volleys which the Spanish garrison of Jiguani were firing at the Cubans!” In 1898, when the Cuban revolution was merged in the Spanish-American war, Menocal was a major-general in the Cuban army of liberation, commanding the provinces of Matanzas and Havana. The American army officers had an opportunity to note that he was an efficient officer. He was selected by Governor- General Brooke to organize a police department for the city of Havana and the rural districts. Then he was appointed inspector-general of public works, and organized a lighthouse board for Cuba. During the last eleven years General Menocal has been the manager of the Mario Garcia Menocal Stamp (1954) Chaparra Sugar Company. That sounds commonplace, als.

He served in the Cuban Army of Patriots in 1895, and fought in the War of Independence; was later chief of police and active in construction of sugar mills. Elected the third President of Cuba in 1913 on a conservative ticket, he was hailed as a liberator and was credited with bringing prosperity to the Island. Succeeded in 1921 by Alfredo Zayas, he plotted against Gerardo Machado in 1931; was imprisoned, and fled to the United States when released. From here he directed the campaign which brought about Florida where the invited men and their families could travel in comfort and style, and upon arrival in Cuba each man was gifted a gold-trimmed box of cigars. García Menocal’s hospitality is still remembered in the fraternity to this day. After his presidency, García Menocal continued to be involved in politics, running for President again in 1924. He attempted a revolution in 1931, and went into exile in the United States when it failed. After less than five years he returned to Cuba and ran for President a final time in 1936.

John Raleigh Mott (May 25, 1865-January 31, 1955) was born of pioneer stock in Livingston Manor, New York, the third child and only son among four children. His parents, John and Elmira (Dodge) Mott, moved to Post- in New York University. For some time he taught both economics and literature. He had lately taught literature in the Central Evening High School. In 1890 he married Miss Lena Gertrude Mercereau, of Union, N. Y., who survives him, together with two children, Gladys Ethelyn and Willard Mercereau. He had also a sister, Mrs. L. F. Davidson, of Sherburne. Professor Gilman was a leader in educational research and in the- study of school admin- istrative problems. He was a pioneer in the movement to introduce municipal civics into secondary schools, and a thorough and enthusiastic student and teacher of local history. He was one of the founders of the Forest Hill Literary Society and for several terms its president; at one time president of the Men’s Club of the Forest Hill Pres- byterian Church; and an active worker in the Association of English Teachers. In commenting on Gilman’s work and influence, David B. Corson, acting superintendent of schools in Newark, said: “Professor Gilman was one of our most distinguished educators.

From this, two years later, sprang the W349 Willard Winfield Rowlee Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions. During Mott’s remaining two years at Cornell, as president of the Y.M.C.A. he increased the membership threefold and raised the money for a university Y.M.C.A. building. He was graduated in 1888, a member of Phi Beta Kappa, with a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and history. In September of 1888 he began a service of twenty-seven years as national secretary of the Intercollegiate Y.M.C.A. of the U.S.A. and Canada, a position requiring visits to colleges to address students concerning Christian activities. During this period, he was also chairman of the executive committee of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions, presiding officer of the World Missionary Conference in Edinburgh in 1910, chairman of the International Missionary Council. With Karl Fries of Sweden, he organized the World’s Student Christian Federation in 1895 and as its general secretary went on a two-year world tour, during which he organized national student movements in India, China, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, parts of Europe and the North East. In 1912 and 1913, he toured the Far East, holding twentyone regional missionary conferences in India, China, Japan, and Korea. From 1915 to 1928, Mott was generalsecretary of the International Committee of the Y.M.C.A. and from 1926 to 1937 president of the Y.M.C.A.’s World Committee. During World War I, when the Y.M.C.A. offered its services to President Wilson, Mott became general secretary of the National War Work Council, receiving the Distinguished Service Medal for his work. For the Y.M.C.A. he kept up international contacts as circumstances allowed and helped to conduct relief work for prisoners of war in various countries.

For eighteen years he filled this chair at Hobart, only leaving upon receiving a call in 1868 from President White, to the similar chair in the new university just opening at Ithaca. While at Hobart, the duties of the presidency of the institution often devolved for months at a time upon Dr. Wilson. It was his success in this office, as well as his prominence as a teacher, that led in the summer of 1872, to his receiving an informal offer of the presidency of a large state university in the Northwest. The cares and responsibilities of the position had no attraction for him, however, and his services were further reserved for Cornell. One who knew of his connection with the University writes of him: “Dr. Wilson’s success as a teacher lay in his capacity to give instruction by means W358 Lyman Austin Best Obituaries. Lyman A.

To every student of Cornell from 1868 to 1886 his death is a personal loss.” Dr. Wilson was made emeritus professor in 1886, and soon thereafter removed to Syracuse, where he became Dean of St. Andrew’s Divinity School, which office he held until a year ago, when, finally, at the age of eighty-three, he retired from his long life of public service. Dr. Wilson, while remembered at Cornell chiefly for his services in the Department of Philosophy and as Registrar, was throughout his life prominent as a leader in the Protestant Episcopal church. He wrote many books on religious and philosopical subjects. Some of the best known are the following: “The Church Identified” (1848), “Elementary Treatise on Logic” (1856), “Psychology, Comparative and Human” (1871), “Textbook on Logic” (1872), “Introduction to the Study of History of Philosophy” (1872), “Live Questions in Psychology and Metaphysics” (1877), “The Foundations of Religious Belief ” (1883). The Paddock Lectures for 1883, delivered by Dr. Wilson at the General Theological Seminary, are among his best known theological works. In addition to publishing these books, Dr. Wilson contributed regularly to the Dial, the Christian Examiner, and the Church Review. He contributed several articles to Appleton’s Cyclopedia, and wrote the article on logic in Johnson’s Cyclopedia. The funeral of Dr. Wilson was held in Syracuse, at St. Mark’s church, August 1.

W362, W588 & W589 William Arnold Anthony Death of W. A. Anthony. Virtual Founder of the Department of Physics at Cornell. William Arnold Anthony, who was for fifteen years professor of physics at Cornell University, died on May 29 of heart disease at his home in New York city. He had been ill several months. Professor Anthony was born in Coventry, R. I., on November 17. 1835. After his graduation from the Sheffield Scientific School in 1860 he taught successively at the Providence Conference Seminary and the Delaware Literary Institute. In 1867 he was appointed professor of physics and chemistry in Antioch College, where he remained two years. He then taught physics for three years in the Iowa Agricultural College. He held the chair of physics at Cornell from 1872 till 1887, when he gave up teaching to practice his profession of electrical engineering. After a few years, however, he took up teaching again, and since 1893 he had been professor of physics in Cooper Union, New York. A sketch of Professor Anthony’s life and of his services while he was at the head of the department of physics at Cornell was contributed to a recent number of the Sϊbley Journal of Engineering by Professor E. L. Nichols, ’75, the present head of the department. Professor Nichols wrote in part: “When William A. Anthony one day in the winter of 1872-73 stood for the first time before a physics class at Cornell, something very like a miracle took place. To the undergraduate, physics had thus for been a mere dead name in the list of studies the moment he opened his mouth it became a live thing. To many of 576 his pupils of those early days the recollection of Professor Anthony’s lectures and demonstrations is among the most vivid and vital of all their college experience. It is hard to realize the changes that have occurred since Professor Anthony began his work at Cornell. Imagine an industrial civilization without dynamos or motors, storage batteries, electric lights, trolley cars, telephones or the wireless telegraph; think of physics without the diffraction grating of Rowland, the interferometer of Michelson or the bolometer of Langley. The liquefaction of the permanent gases was still unattained; X rays and radioactivity were yet not even a subject for dreams. Many applications of physics, and especially of electricity to industrial life, were, however, in process of development during these years and Professor Anthony, impelled by the passion to try things out for one’s self in a practical way which characterizes the experimental physicist, rapidly gathered together a unique equipment. In these labors he was fortunate in the skillful and ingenious co-operation of one of his pupils, G. S. Moler, now professor in the department of physics, whose name is inseparably associated with all of this pioneer work. In 1875, Gramme brought out in Paris his form of dynamo machine, and no sooner had the description of it reached this country than Anthony and Moler undertook to build one. They made their own design, based upon Gramme’s principle, but adapted to the special uses of the laboratory, and long before the first imported dynamos reached America this machine was successfully completed and in operation. With it, before the close of the year, arc lamps were installed on the campus and were put into regular service; and thus it came about that inhabitants of remote farms among the hills of Central New York saw the arc light shine out night after night years before the introduction of this means of illumination in Paris, London, Berlin, New York or any of the great cities of the world. The wiring of this lighting system is of considerable historical importance. Under ground cables were constructed of gas piping through which copper wires were drawn. These wires were so thoroughly insulated by means of a composition of tallow pumped into the pipes that when tested after having been buried more than twenty years they were found to be still in excellent condition. This Gramme machine, which served to light the campus by night, was used in a variety of other work during the day time. Lanterns for lecture room use were at that period supplied with the lime light for which oxygen and hydrogen gas had to be prepared by chemical means. Professors Anthony and Moler substituted an apparatus for the electrolytic generation of these gases. So far as I know it was the first of its kind. This generator for many years supplied oxygen and hydrogen for lanterns for use in the various departments of the University. The Gramme machine constructed in 1875, and which made these and many other interesting things possible, was exhibited at the Centennial Exhibition in 1876, where it attracted Rhode Island, followed by a teaching position in Frank- much attention as the first example of American dynamo lin, New York until 1867.

Death of Dr. Robert H. Thurston. Occurred at His Home on Sunday Evening—Stricken with Heart Failure on His Sixty-fourth Birthday. Dr. Robert Henry Thurston, Director of Sibley College, died at his home on East avenue Sunday afternoon at 6 o’clock. Heart failure was the cause, and death came without the slightest warning. The circumstances surrounding the death were particularly sad. It was Dr. Thurston’s sixty-fourth birthday and Mrs. Thurston had arranged an informal birthday dinner to which had been invited former President Andrew D.

It William Arnold Anthony (November 17, 1835 – May 29, 1908) was a U.S. physicist. Anthony was born in Coventry, Rhode Island. He was educated at the Yale Scientific School (today Sheffield Scientific School) and graduated in 1860. Between 1857 and 1860 he was director of a grade school in Crompton, Rhode Island. From 1860 to 1861 he taught natural sciences at the Providence Conference Seminary, East Greenwich, 577 was while waiting for his guests that death stole upon him. About the middle of the afternoon Dr. Thurston walked to the Heights, to the home of Professor Ryan to invite to his birthday dinner Mr. Erderi, an eminent English scientist who had just arrived in Ithaca. He returned from his walk, dressed for dinner and at about 5:30 walked down to Huestis street to arrange some final detail in connection with the dinner. Upon his return he went to the drawing room and sat with Mrs. Thurston. She left the room for a few moments and upon returning found his head fallen to one side as though he were dozing or sleeping. She attempted to arouse him and failing, summoned assistance. Restoratives were administered but without avail. Physicians were summoned but they found that death had apparently been instantaneous. Professor Thurston’s position indicated that life had ebbed gently away without pain. He sat back comfortably in his chair with a calm and peaceful expression upon his countenance. Dr. Thurston is survived by his wife and three daughters Mrs. Victor Coffin of Madison, Wisconsin, Miss Olive Thurston and Miss Leonora Thurston of Ithaca. Robert Henry Thurston was born in Providence, R. I., on October 25th, 1839, and was the son of Robert L. and Harriet Taylor Thurston. He was graduated from Brown University in 1859 with the degree of bachelor of philosophy and at once became a designing engineer in the employ of the firm of Thurston, Green & Company of Providence. At the outbreak of the Civil War he entered the United States Naval Engineer Corps and served with distinction in the fleets of Dupont and Dahlgren until the close of the war. In 1863 he was made engineer-in-charge of the Chippewa and in the following year was commissioned first assistant in charge of the iron-clad, Dictator. At the close of the war Dr. Thurston was appointed professor of natural philosophy in the United States Naval Acadamy at Annapolis and filled that position from January 1, 1866, to June 1871, when he became professor of engineering in Stevens Institute of Technology. In 1885 he resigned from the faculty of Stevens Institute to become director of Sibley College, then about to be organized. He organized the departments of that college, and for eighteen years has given his best thought and effort to the elevating and improving of their curricula. In the period of his administration, Dr. Thurston has made Sibley College one of the greatest school of engineering in the world and has seen the registration in that College increase from sixty men in 1885, to almost a thousand in 1903. Dr. Thurston has been employed on many government commissions, such as the United States scientific commission to the Vienna International Exhibition (1873) to Paris (1889) the United States commission to investigate the cause of boiler explosions (1875) and the United States commission to test iron, steel and other metals (1875- 88). He was a member of the leading scientific societies on both sides of the Atlantic including the Loyal Legion of the United States; the United States Naval Institute the Royal Institute of Great Britain, and the Institute of Engineers of Scotland. A private funeral service will be held at Dr. Thurston’s late home on East avenue at 3 o’clock this afternoon. The services will be conducted by Reverend Charles Babcock and will be attended by the relatives and intimate friends of the 578 deceased. Public services will be held in Sibley Auditorium at 3:30 and will be conducted by Reverend Charles Mellen Tyler. The honorary bearers, the active bearers selected from the senior class of Sibley College, the Trustees of the University, the faculty of Sibley College and representatives of the faculties of the other colleges of the University, together with the undergraduate body, will attend. The hearse will be accompanied by the clergymen and the pall bearers. Two groups of honorary bearers will follow. The first group will be composed of President J. G. Schurman, former president Andrew D. White, Hon. H. W. Sibley, Dean Crane, Dean Huffcut, Professor Law and Professor Hewett. The second group will be composed of Professors Morris, Durand, Carpenter, Ryan, Cleves, Hibbard and Jones and former Professor Barr. The faculty of Sibley College will come next followed by the senior class of Sibley College and the general undergraduate body of the University. During the ceremony the body will lie in state attended by a guard of honor selected from the senior class of Sibley College. After the services are concluded a cortege will accompany the hearse to the Lehigh Valley station. The burial will take place at Providence on Thursday morning. When seen on Sunday evening former president Andrew D. White, who called Dr. Thurston to the directorship of Sibley College, said: “Professor Thurston was called to the directorship of Sibley College in 1885. Up to that time everything had been tantative there had been in that department excellent professors and thoroughly good instructors, but a “College of Mechanic Arts” was in those days, an entirely new thing. What the demands upon it were to be, no one could say it was all an experiment. There were differences of opinion as regarded both the theory of such an institution and the practice which it was to adopt. There was much uncertainty and even discouragement in the Board of Trustees regarding it when, discussing the matter with Professor Thurston, then of the Stevens Institute at Hoboken, I found he was willing to come to us and accept the whole responsibility of Sibley College provided the proper power and support were given him. He was immediately called to the position and his first meeting with the Trustees greatly encouraged us all. Mr. Hiram Sibley, who had already shown himself very generous to the college, made increasing donations men eminent in mechanical engineering throughout the country began to take an interest in it a large number of the foremost of them came and delivered lectures the student body grew steadily and rapidly the faculty was increased in numbers to meet this new demand and the prosperity which thus began has been continued from that day to this. While giving full honor to his associates, it is not too much to say that this wonderful result, which we now see, has been due, mainly, to Director Thurston’s power of organization, his knowledge of the whole field to be covered, his skill as a teacher, and a certain power which he developed in a not only with alumni but with leaders of the industrial remarkable degree to prevent or to allay all friction and world, and all apparently without effort but with a difficulties between departments or individuals. In plenitude of result that is “writ large” in the history of addition to these qualities should be mentioned the high Cornell University. Dr. Thurston’s success is due in part to standing in his profession which enabled him to enlist its hereditary, in part to acquired excellences.

From: Charles Ashmead Schaeffer, Wikipedia.org. Schaeffer, Charles Ashmead (August 14, 1843–September 23, 1898) –president of the State University of Iowa—was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He received his B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1861 and immediately enlisted in the First Pennsylvania Battery, serving for two years. From 1863 to 1865 he was a student at Harvard University’s Lawrence Scientific School. For two years he was instructor in chemistry at Union College. He then went to the University of Gottingen, where he received his Ph.D. in 1868. For another year he was a student at the Berlin School of Mines, and then spent six months of study in Paris. Upon his return to the United States in 1870, Schaeffer became professor of general and analytical chemistry and mineralogy at Cornell University. While a member of the Cornell faculty, he also served as vice president and dean of the university. In 1887 the Board of Regents chose Schaeffer as president of the State University of Iowa to succeed Josiah L. Pickard. He was inaugurated as president on June 22, 1887, and served until his death. His tenure came at a time of trouble caused by the dismissal of four faculty members and the reorganization of the faculty by the Board of Regents. During his 11 years as president, he surmounted the early obstacles and led the university through one of its greatest decades of development. During his tenure (1887-1898), student enrollment grew from 571 to 1,334 and the number of faculty from 49 to 102; the curriculum expanded from 113 courses to 137; the library collections grew from 18,000 volumes to 42,000; and the budget increased from $95,254 to $146,800. Schaeffer emphasized greater use of laboratories and established them in the medical and 580 psychology departments. He authorized 16 expeditions for biological research, and encouraged the production of research monographs, such as those produced by the Departments of History, Natural History, and Psychology. He gave more prominence to the fields of social sciences, natural sciences, modern languages, and engineering. He initiated the Department of Pedagogy to help prepare better high school teachers. He placed more emphasis on physical education, and helped create a well-equipped gymnasium. Under President Schaeffer, the first extension work was done, and the first summer sessions were offered. New buildings constructed or begun with public funds during Schaeffer’s tenure include the Chemistry Building, the Dental Building, the Homeopathic Medical Hospital, and the University Medical Hospital, and the building of Close Hall by private subscription was authorized. The value of the physical facilities at the university increased from $208,000 to more than $625,000 during his tenure. One of his most important achievements was the passage by the legislature at his urging of a designated levy of one-tenth mill for building purposes on the university campus. Although the legislation was later repealed, it was due to Schaeffer that it passed at all, and it was renewed for more than 15 years, creating a stable fund for capital construction that was safe from interference from the vagaries of the legislative sessions and political maneuvering. At the time of his death, Schaeffer had plans for a new library and a gymnasium. He had also selected the Des Moines architects Proudfoot and Bird to design the neoclassical classroom and office buildings that now flank Old Capitol. Construction of Collegiate Hall commenced in 1897. The building was completed and opened on January 2, 1902, after his death, the first of the four buildings that, with Old Capitol, would eventually become the Pentacrest. At that time, the building was named the Hall of Liberal Arts, but in 1934 it was renamed Schaeffer Hall in his honor. Schaeffer was known throughout the United States, and in 1893 he was appointed by the U.S. Commissioner of Education to serve as a vice president of the World’s Congress Auxiliary of the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. He chaired the Committee on Programme and was a member of the Committee on Higher Education. He secured the speakers for the sessions held during July and August 1893. With the support of Charles C. Bonney, president of the World’s Congress Auxiliary, Schaeffer won a brief skirmish with D. C. Gilman, president of Johns Hopkins University, over who was in charge of the program. Schaeffer was a member of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, the New York Academy of Science, the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), and the Old Capitol Club. He was a vestryman of Trinity Episcopal Church, a director of the Citizens’ Savings and Trust Company, and a trustee of Griswold College and St. Katharine’s Hall. At the time of his unexpected death in Iowa City in 1898, the members of the Board of Regents adopted a resolution expressing their conviction that the state had suffered a deplorable and irreparable loss. Schaeffer changed the course of the State University of Iowa, bringing the departments, the courses, the faculty, and the physical facilities to a point of leadership among the public universities in the United States. His creed as an administrator was that an able and specialized faculty was the one necessary part of a university; all else was accessory. Schaeffer’s papers are in the University Archives, Special Collections, University of Iowa Libraries, Iowa City. From: The Biographical Dictionary Of Iowa, University of Iowa Press Digital Editions. W365 Estevon Antonio Fuertes Professor Fuertes Dies. Well-Known Director of the College of Civil Engineering Passes Away— Shock To the University. The entire University was saddened Friday by the news that Professor E. A. Fuertes, the former dean and director of the college of civil engineering had died at his home in East avenue. He had been seriously ill only three days and the news of his death came as a shock to students and professors alike who were sobered by the sense of the loss of a friend and highly respected teacher. Only last Monday Professor Fuertes went to Syracuse on a business trip. On his return he appeared in as good health as usual but he contracted a severe cold which rapidly developed into what was called la grippe. Professor Fuertes for years had been the victim of Bright’s disease and his already enfeebled constitution was not able to withstand the attacks of the new disease. After lingering near death for an entire day he passed away peacefully at 5:30 o’clock Friday morning. At his bedside when the end came were nearly all the surviving members of his family who are: Mrs. Fuertes, James Hillhouse Fuertes of New York, a well known civil engineer, Louis Agassiz Fuertes, ’97, the noted bird artist of this city, Estevan J. Fuertes of Cayuga, Mrs. Edward Hitchcock, jr., and Miss Katherine Fuertes of this city. Few of the members of the Faculty were better known than was Professor Fuertes. To the students in his own department he especially endeared himself while among the graduates of the great college which he built up he was held in the highest esteem and to the many scores of alumni who owe their success in life primarily to his long and tireless efforts the news of his death will be sad, indeed. Those who were associated with him in his work were deeply affected when they learned of their loss. Professor Church, who for many years had known him intimately expressed the sentiment of the others when he said that Professor Fuertes had won the regard and affection of all with whom he had worked in the common cause of building up the college of civil engineering. “His death touches us all very deeply,” he 581 added. “As a man he was always faithful to his work, and as an administrator of the college he had a strick [sic] devotion to its best interests. Professor Fuertes had travelled widely in Europe and North and South America, and he brought to his work at Cornell an experience which had given him a clear insight into the needs of the college. “His associates in the world of civil engineering have repeatedly shown him honor in electing him to high offices in the society of civil engineers. His brusque manner covered a warm and generous heart. It will never be known the struggling students he had quietly aided, nor the silent deeds of kindness and help by which he has won the gratitude of the poverty-stricken of the city.” An excellent sketch of Professor Fuertes’ life by H. N. Ogden, ’89, was given in the Alumni News of November 12, on the occasion of his resignation from the position of director of the college of civil engineering after 30 years of service. In addition we might briefly mention here again a few of the more important facts in regard to his career. Esteven Antonio Fuertes was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, May 10, 1838, the son of Estevan and Demetria (Charbonnier). He was given an academic education and received the degrees of Ph. D. and C. E. before entering upon his work as an engineer. He at once was appointed to responsible government positions and was made director of the public works of the western district of the island in the year 1862. In 1863 he came to the United States and was first assistant engineer and later engineer for the Croton aqueduct board in New York city. In 1870-1, he was the engineer in chief of the United States expedition to Nicaraugua and Tehuantepec to enquire into the feasibility of an isthmian ship canal. Later as a consulting engineer in New York be became identified with numerous extensive engineering enterprises in this country and South Amerca [sic]. In 1873 he was called to Cornell to become the dean of the department of engineering and at once pushed his college to the front. The success of his administration is shown by the present standing of the college and the records of his graduates. More than one-half of the graduates of the college now hold positions of unusual responsibility and they have done a great deal to elevate the profession in this country. In addition to this University work, Dean Fuertes engaged in much outside work, calculated to contribute to engineering knowledge. For example for 16 years until the government took charge of the work he personally directed and recorded metereological conditions, realizing their application to engineering problems, and for this purpose he contributed valuable apparatus and paid for clerical service from his own pocket. His resignation as director and dean of the College of Civil Engineering was announced November 7. Two years ago, under the strain of administrative duties, an organic trouble developed, which for the entire spring term kept him away from the college for the most part in a New York hospital. Shortly after his return it was evident his strength was not equal to the administrative demands of the college and its manysided interests, and he resigned. Even at his resignation, he declined to sever his connection with the University and was appointed professor of astronomy in charge of the A. C. Barnes observatory. He was preparing to enter his new work enthusiastically when seized with the final illness. An excellent estimation of the loss which Cornell sustains in the death of Professor Fuertes can be gathered from the following from the pen of Dr. R. H. Thurston of Sibley College, who knew him and his work well: A man is very rarely greaved [sic] in the view of his acquaintances, seldom of his generation. His usually commonplace everyday life is too constantly before them and his greatest achievements require a certain perspective; yet we may, if we look for them, readily discover and often may appreciate the noblest works. Those of our colleague will be recognized by professional, if not by non-professional, contemporaries and will be later discovered to be essential elements of the history both of his profession and of modern education. He introduced modern methods, scientific and technical, into the public works of his native island. He was a pioneer in the reduction of the elementary facts of topography and geodesy, relating to the vast problem of making a ship-canal across the great barrier between the two oceans, to rule and measure and did much more than had most explorers to make that tremendous task possible of accomplishment. He exerted all the powerful influences of exact knowledge, correct professional practice and honest dealing in favor of righteous and wholesome administration of public office at a time when the Tweed regime was in full swing. He surrendered all expectation of a successful professional life, and of competency in old age, and for thirty years worked and studied and met difficulties and disappointments and hopes deferred without once leaving the path which he had definitely marked out as leading toward his goal—the firm foundation of a professional school that should stand high as a model in combining the science and the art of engineering in its curriculum and as affording the ambitious and competent novice entrance into his intended profession as well prepared as the learning and best practice of the time should permit. He risked his health and professional career in the sweltering climate of the West Indies and a future colony of the United States was advantaged by his art. He risked his life amidst mountains and chasms and unexplored forests and plains between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and his adopted country is today profiting by his work. He risked life as well as reputation and professional career, in the endeavor to sustain an honest patriotism against the aggressions of unpatriotic and dishonest officials and of selfish and dishonest men in civil life, both classes seeking profit at 582 the expense of the honest citizen. Finally he surrendered life and for tune that the young men entering his profession might profit by his sacrifice, that the profession and -the country and the world might be gainers by the most complete possible union/of science with art, that Cornell University might be aided in the endeavor to carry into effect Ezra Cornell’s noblest aspirations and that its College of Civil Engineering might illustrate most perfectly the ideals’ of the Founder and himself ,and stand forever as a model of best educational method and of most splendid accomplishment. He gave his whole life for the country of his adoption, for the advantage of his profession and died in the promotion of the best interests of the University and of his own greatest work, its College of Civil Engineering. The mere statement of the facts constitute his highest possible eulogy. His greatest monument is erected on the Campus of Cornell. His memory will endear in the hearts of his pupils and his later beneficiaries of coming generations, of his family and near friends who witnessed his labors, his disappointments and his successes, of all his professional colleagues who admired his work from afar but who, better than can any others, thoroughly understood and appreciated the greatest works of that aspiring soul. Funeral Held. Impressive Service Over Remains of the Late Professor E. A. Fuertes—Sad Procession to Chapel. The last sad rites were performed Monday afternoon over the body of Professor E. A. Fuertes, professor of astronomy and former dean and director of the College of Civil Engineering. A short private service for the immediate family of the deceased was conducted at his late home at 2:30 o’clock by Professor Charles Babcock. At the conclusion of this ceremony the remains were taken to Sage chapel, where the public funeral was held. The chapel was filled with a great assemblage which had gathered to pay a final tribute to the man who stood for so much in the history and development of the University. The colleagues of Professor Fuertes in the faculty, many townsmen who had been numbered among his friends, and students who knew him either as a personal instructor or as the head of one of the great colleges of the University had all gathered for the funeral. The students of his own College of Civil Engineering had assembled at Lincoln hall and marched over to the chapel, where they occupied a large block of seats on the north side. The marshals of the procession were H. F. Badger, jr., D, F. Fulton, R. E. Marvin and J. S. Slater, of the senior class; L,. R. Ellis and Haines Gridley, of the junior class; H. W. Pitzman and Milo Cleveland from the sophomores; and J. H. Sheble and H. C. Francis of the class of 1906. The bearers were; Professor G. C. Caldwell, Professor B. G. Wilder, Professor ,L. A. Wait, Professor J. M. Hart, Professor C. L. Crandall and Professor I. P. Church. The honorary bearers were: President J. G. Schurman, the Hon. S. D. Haliday, R. B. Williams, G. R. Williams, Dean T. F. Crane and Dean R. H. Thurston. As the procession entered the chapel and passed slowly up the aisle, a hush fell on, the assemblage. Professor Charles Mellen Tyler read passages from the Episcopal service, while Mr. Daland played a low funeral march on the organ. When the casket had been placed in the open space in front of the apse, Dr. Tyler read a brief service, at the conclusion of which those ,who desired were given an opportunity to review the remains. When the audience had dispersed, the remains were borne to Lakeview for interment. The ceremony at the chapel though very brief, by it s very brevity and simplicity lent additional impressiveness to the occasion. All University exercises were suspended at noon for the day.

After graduation he received the CE degree from Karlsruhe Polytechnicum, Germany, in 1881, then returned to the University as assistant professor of Civil Engineering from 1884-90. After teaching a year at the University of Wisconsin, he was asked by the late David Starr Jordan, MSA ’72., first president of Stanford University, to join the original Stanford faculty; in 192.3 he was made professor emeritus of civil engineering. He was a consultant in the engineering work on the Golden Gate Bridge, Boulder Dam, the experimental arch dam near Fresno, Calif., and other large projects, and a member of the advisory committee of the RFC.

From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 42, No. 15, 18 Jan 1940, p. 202. Charles D. Marx received his early education in the schools Toledo an d Amsterdam. He was a student at the Karlsruhe realgymnasium during 1871-1876 and was graduated C.E., at Cornell university in 1878. He then returned to Germany and in 1881 graduated at the Karlsruhe polytechnieum, receiving a diploma as an engineer, having in the meantime served as instructor in civil engineering at that institution. During 1881-82 he was employed as a leveler, transitman and draftsman on the proposed extension of the Genesee River Niagra Falls division of the Boston, Hoosae Tunnel & Western Railroad, and then served for two years as the U.S. assistant engineer on the Missouri and Mississippi river improvement projects. He was assistant professor of civil engineering at Cornell University during 1884-90, acting also as chief inspector of public improvements in Rochester, N.Y., and during vacations as principal assistant engineer to Emil Kuichling (q.v.) on 583 the design of additions to the sewer system of that city. In 1890 he went to University of Wisconsin as professor of civil engineering and in the fall of the following year became head of the department of civil engineering at Stanford university, continuing at that position until 1923 when he retired with the position professor emeritus. One of the first ten appointed to the original Stanford faculty, he was vice president of the university from 1917. During 1925-26 he supervised for the Engineering Foundation the building of the Stevenson creek arch dam near Fresno, California. This dam, located in a deep canyon of the Sierras, was a purely experimental structure, erected to determine the strength and weakness of arch construction, a problem which has puzzled engineers for centuries. He was a member of the board of consulting engineers of the San Gabriel flood control board (Los Angeles county)., 1927, of the consulting board to the East Bay municipal district to investigate the causes of the partial failure of the Lafayette dam, 1928-29, and a member of the Hoover-Young commission which finally determined the location of the Golden Gate bridge. In 1932, he was appointed chairman of the engineers advisory board of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, in which capacity he passed on the Golden Gate bridge, Mississippi river bridge at New Orleans, Colorado river aqueduct of the Metropolitan water district of southern California and other projects throughout the country.

Death of Two Members of the Faculty. Charles Lee Crandall ’72, emeritus professor of railway engineering and geodesy in Cornell University, died at his-home in Ithaca on August 25 after a week’s illness of pneumonia. Professor Crandall’s adult life had been spent in the service of this University. He was enrolled as a student of civil engineering when Cornell opened its doors in 1868, and he had been a member of the faculty since 1874. He was born at Bridgewater, N. Y., on July 20, 1850, a son of Peter B. and Eunice C. (Priest) Crandall. When he entered Cornell in 1868 the family removed to Ithaca. Before he had completed his junior year he was appointed city engineer of Ithaca, a post which he held for twenty years. For two years after his graduation he was employed in railway engineering. In 1874 he was appointed instructor in civil engineering, and after regular promotion he became, in 1895, professor of railway engineering and geodesy. For four years, 1902-06, he was in charge of the College of Civil Engineering. He was the author of Tables for Computation of Railway and Other Earthwork (four editions), Notes on Descriptive Geometry, Notes on Shades, Shadows and Perspective, The Transition Curve, and Text-Book on Geodesy and Least Squares, and joint author of a Field Book for Railroad Surveying and a book on Railroad Construction. He married Miss Myra G. Robbins of Bridgewater in 1878, and she survives him, with an adopted daughter, Miss Emma Bowers ’97. To tell of Professor Crandall’s years of teaching is to fall far short of relating all his service to the University. When he retired from teaching, in June, 1915, the University Faculty expressed its sense of his worth in these words: “What is probably Professor Crandall’s greatest usefulness is the result of his high, unselfish character. His whole life has been given to the devoted service of his associates and of his students. Graduates of the College of Civil Engineering have no memories that do not include a feeling of affection and thankfulness to Professor Crandall. Of kindly disposition and practical sound sense, sympathetic in his intercourse with students, quiet and modest in manner, but with strong convictions as to truth and justice in any matter brought before him, and always ready to sacrifice personal interests in following the dictates of duty, Professor Crandall has won the warm esteem of all who have From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 19, No. 40, Aug 1917, p. 479. Charles Lee Crandall — August 25, 1917. The Professor of Engineering, Professor Jacoby, presented the following resolutions, which were adopted by rising vote: The sudden death of Professor Emeritus Charles Lee Crandall on August 25, 1917, came as a shock to all of his colleagues as well as to his friends among alumni and townspeople. His colleagues had cherished the hope that he would remain with them for a decade or more. Since his retirement from active university service in June, 1915, he was continuously engaged in a variety of pursuits. He revised several of his books, continued active work on the Committee on Iron and Steel Structures of the American Railway Engineering Association and served as a member of the Board of Public Works of the City of Ithaca, since January, 1915. The Faculty expresses its deep sense of personal loss and extends its warmest sympathy to the bereaved family. Resolutions relating to his character and service were adopted by the University Faculty at the time of his retirement. It may be appropriate, however, to add a hearty endorsement of the following editorial note published in Engineering News-Record, September 27, under the title “Professor Crandall—A Successful Teacher”: “The lot of the professor of engineering is not always a happy one. Compensation is low, recognition is often belated. The main reward must come from a sense of duty well performed and the affection of a long line of students. Success of the more material sort came to Professor Crandall of Cornell University,—but the crowning professional success, the affectionate regard of forty engineering classes, was his in exceptional measure. Kindliness and sympathy were the lodestones by which he attracted the young men, and forever kept them as friends; but to these traits he added a sureness of technical knowledge that made him in after years a professional mentor as well. His work and the place he holds in the memory of his boys should be an inspiration to every teacher. He showed how great a success can be made in the teaching profession.” Committee: S. G. George, E.

During that early period his work as a teacher had to cover several of the technical subjects of the civil engineering curriculum; but, as years went by and the increasing resources of the University made possible a larger number of teachers, Professor Crandall was enabled to concentrate his energies on the subjects of his choice. He became Associate Professor of Civil Engineering in 1891, and in 1895 was appointed Professor of Railway Engineering and Geodesy. During the college year 1892-93, Professor Fuertes, Director of the College of Civil Engineering, being absent in Europe, Professor Crandall was the Acting Director of the college ; and he again served in that capacity after the death of Professor Fuertes, from 1903 till the appointment of the present Dean, Professor Haskell, in 1906. In these two critical periods of the history of the College, Professor Crandall’s services in directing its affairs were invaluable. But these heavy duties by no means sum up Professor Crandall’s activities, Besides being the author of important text-books in the fields of his work as a teacher, he has done valuable experimental and literary work for two of our national engineering societies of which he is an honored member, and he has never wholly abandoned the practice of engineering, by which he has not only kept in touch with the practical field of his profession, but has opened the door to many services, both civic and technical, to the people of the city of Ithaca. A special debt of gratitude is due him from the alumni of the College of Civil Engineering for his constant and effective service in securing them professional positions through a correspondence bureau which during many years he has conducted for this purpose. But what is probably Professor Crandall’s greatest usefulness is the result of his high, unselfish character. His whole life has been given to the devoted service of his associates and of his students. Graduates of the College of Civil Engineering have no memories of Cornell that do not include a feeling of affection and thankfulness to Professor Crandall. Of kindly disposition and practical sound sense, sympathetic in his intercourse with students, quiet and modest in manner, but with strong convictions as to truth and justice in any matter brought before him, and always ready to sacrifice personal interests in following the dictates of duty, Professor Crandall has won the warm esteem of all who have come within the circle of his influence during these two score years of service at Cornell. The University Faculty extends to him the assurance 585 Professor Church Dies. Emeritus Professor of Civil Engineering Served Cornell Forty Years—Noted Author. Irving Porter Church, emeritus professor of civil engineering, died on May 8, after an illness of about two years. Professor Church was born in Ansonia, Connecticut in 1851 the son of Dr. Samuel P. Church and Elizabeth Sterling Church. His early education was in the schools there and later in Newburgh, N. Y. whence he came to Cornell. Three years after his graduation 1873 he was appointed assistant professor of civil engineering. In 1891 he became associate professor and in 1891 full professor. Upon his retirement in 1916 he was made emeritus professor. In 1881 Professor Church married Elizabeth P. Holley of Niagara Falls, N. Y. who died about 1900. Two daughteres, [sic] Edith of Ithaca, and Elsie Church Atkinson of Wellesley, Mass, survive him. Although of an unusually retiring nature, Professor Church endeared himself to many generations of students, and was not only recognized as an expert in civil engineering, but has been called “the father of mechanics.” This appelation [sic] he received because of his book, “The Mechanics of Engineering,” published first in three volumes and later as one work in 1890. This book is said to have revolutionized the subject of mechanics, and is still used as an authority. Shortly after his retirement, in tribute to him as teacher and friend, the alumni of the College of Civil Engineering presented to the University a portrait of Professor Church, by the artist J. Campbell Phillips of New York, and the sum of $2500 in Liberty bonds, to form the Irving P. Church Fund, the income of which is used to purchase books for the library of the College. In presenting the portrait, William D. Kelley ’80 expressed the affection of the old students for Professor Church and their sense of his great services to the college and to engineering science during so many years. A still greater tribute to Professor Church came in 1929 when he was awarded the Benjamin G. Lamme gold medal “for accomplishment in technical teaching and actual advancement of the art of technical training.” This medal is given to itstanding [sic) men by the Soicety [sic] for the Promotion of Engineering Education.

Church Fund to purchase books for the library of the College. Another high honor came to him in 1919 when he was awarded the Benjamin G. Lammé gold medal “for accomplishment in technical teaching and actual advancement of the art of technical training.” This medal, given by the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, was a tribute of the whole profession to the man who had been called “the father of mechanics” on account of his epoch-making book The Mechanics of Engineering. The essential doctrine of this book as well as of his teachings was that all good design must be based on the principles of mechanics. His students were unanimous in praising his qualities as a teacher; clarity of presentation, rigor of demonstration, unlimited patience, unfailing courtesy were out- standing characteristics. They remember with especial gratitude that he spared neither his time nor his labor in helping them individually to understand difficult questions and to solve what seemed to them insoluble problems. Their respect for the teacher was equaled only by their admiration and affection for the man whose quiet manner and self-effacing modesty won the hearts of all who knew him. Science was only one aspect of his versatile personality. Nothing in the realm of literature and art was indifferent to him. He read good books. He displayed a peculiar and persistent interest in modern languages. Although he made only one short trip abroad he spoke well and understood both French and German. He loved and practiced the arts. Painting was one of the favorite diversions of his later years, and his home was filled with his copies of great masterpieces. He was very fond of music. He played the violin. Until the very last he found solace in listening to melodies that had always enchanted him. This unassuming and retiring man whose life was so full of work and who seemed absorbed in his many avocations found time to interest himself in the activities of the city. No good cause, no work of community interest or of social service appealed to him in vain. He gave generously and cheerfully. His acts of kindness to humble folk, his interest in deserving students, his Almost every day during the school year, a tall, well-built young man passes in front of the famous statue of Ezra Cornell on the Arts Quad. Few people detect any resemblance between him and the university’s founder, but this Agriculture college senior will soon continue a 104-yearold family tradition of service to Cornell. He is Ezra Cornell IV ’70. Cornell, who is known to his friends as “E.G.,” will officially join the university’s Board of Trustees when he turns 21 on November 17. Under the provisions of the Cornell charter, the oldest lineal male descendant of Ezra Cornell serves a life term on the board. Cornell was named to the board in 1960 following the death of his father, William Ezra ’40, who was the life trustee at the time. Ezra Cornell IV, the great-great-great grandson of the founder, will be the first undergraduate to serve on Cornell’s board. He is not, however, the first undergraduate to sit on a university board of trustees, since Princeton recently appointed undergraduates to its governing body. Despite his name and future post, Cornell is generally unknown on campus. As a result of his distinct aversion to personal publicity (the only other article written about him besides this was an Associated Press story printed in 1960), he has been able to lead a life similar to other undergraduates. Now that he will be a trustee, he fears things will be different. “I don’t think I’m a public figure,” he told the Alumni News. “I would not like to see my name tossed about on campus as a political football. I have a very strong interest in the university and what it should do, what it should be. Like everybody else right now, I question the university’s role,” Cornell said. Nevertheless, Cornell was unwilling to discuss his opinions on the many problems which have confronted the university in recent years: “I won’t tell because I’m not prepared.” Although he was not in the public view, Cornell played a significant part in some of the behind-the-scenes discussions following the takeover of the Straight. Along with two officers of the Inter fraternity Council, Cornell advised President Perkins on possible courses of action following the Faculty’s initial vote to affirm the decision made by the Student-Faculty Board on Student Conduct. Along with 586 the two IFC officials, he suggested something similar to family—it’s quite an activity,” he said. When Cornell was what became the Barton Hall teach-in. “I think it helped,” first named to the board in 1960 following his father’s Cornell said. “It was the first cold water in the hot coffee death, he said “They (his elementary school classmates) cup.” While Cornell thought Mr. Perkins “handled the keep saying ‘Bow to the king.’ All the razzing is funny, situation well considering the crisis situation,” he thought though.” Nine years later, just a few months before he the administration “missed the boat” in their reaction to officially becomes a member of the Board, Cornell said, the affair.

He “Razzing” about his new answers, however, is not likely to does not pretend to talk for all the undergraduates, but he be funny. thinks his views will parallel those of many students. Cornell realizes many students may question his justification for being a member of the board. He answers, “The justification is in the Charter—I would express the Cornell philosophy, the original intent of the university. I am going to represent Cornell at Cornell.” He feels family obligations will be influencing him while he is a member of the board. Cornell said he is “very proud” of his family heritage, but “it’s not a preoccupation.” It took him a few minutes, for instance, to recall whether he is the great-great-great or the great-great grandson of the original Ezra Cornell. “It’s not something I think necessary to keep at the tip of my tongue,” he said. Incidentally, Ezra Cornell III ’27 is not a member of the immediate family of the new trustee. The two are cousins. Like many other Cornellians returning home for the summer vacation, Cornell was confronted with questions and comments by relatives and friends. He found “it took my mother and myself a month to adjust.” His summer job is one of the more unusual positions held by Cornellians making “honest coin” during the summer months. Cornell is in charge of liquidating machinery from a former shipyard in Hoboken, New Jersey, where his relatives and associates plan to build a refinery. Besides familiarizing himself with the latest going prices for winches and hoists, he put in long days contending with From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 72, No. 3, Oct 1969, pp. 23-24.

He was a, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. Clay Torrance, of Gowanda, N. Y., who sent a number of their children to Cornell. He was the second to graduate, his brother, Stiles A., having preceded him. Torrance entered the University in 1890, receiving the 598 degree of C. E. in 1895; he was a member of the Cornell Christian Association, the Civil Engineers’ Association, and the Chess Club, it was necessary for him to work his way through college in large part; in his earlier student days, he attended to furnaces, mowed lawns, and did many kinds of odd jobs, but later he sold drafting instruments to engineering students. As the agent of T. A. Altendorf, of Philadelphia, he sold more instruments than any other student agent in any educational institution. In his senior year, he not only paid all his own expenses, but was able to save something to aid his sister Lucy to go to Cornell. She entered in 1895, and in 1899 was graduated with the degree of Ph. B. She died on September 8 of the same year. In engineering practice he was noted for his originality in design and his freedom from bondage to precedent. When employed by the Illinois Central Railroad, he made a large number of comparative designs for bridge abutments to show the great economy of several forms which were radically different from the usual ones. His design of an arched abutment is now regarded as a modern standard type. This tendency on his part is said to have aroused jealousy occasionally on the part of higher officials who wanted their own plans carried out without being shown that economy demanded something else. When the McAdoo tunnels, known as tubes, were built under the Hudson River, he was in charge of reinforced concrete design. At the shore where the tubes branch up and down the river it became necessary to build short sections as pneumatic caissons. Conditions were such that steel could not be secured within a year after the designs were finished. Mr. Torrance requested permission to design the caissons in reinforced concrete. It was granted. The designs were submitted to other consulting engineers for examination, and were approved. He was then appointed constructing engineer to carry out his own designs. Five caissions [sic] were built, and Mr. Torrance thus saved about half a million dollars, and over a half-year in time. His success in this work led later to his appointment as a designing expert on the caissons for one of the Brooklyn drydocks of the U. S. Navy Yard, on which other plans had failed. His designs led to the successful construction of the drydock. Mr. Torrance was one of the earliest parture [sic] from precedent. He has served reinforced-concrete arch bridge with, cantilever ends, but the conservatism of municipal authorities postponed their introduction for years, because their design was regarded as too radical a departure from precedent. He has served not only as chief engineer and consulting engineer, but as a contractor, For the original designs mentioned above, and other successful achievements, he was elected an alumnus member of Tau Beta Pi, and of Sigma XL, by the chapters at Cornell. He was a frequent contributor to engineering periodicals. During the war, he served as a captain in the Engineer Reserve Corps, and was on duty at Camp Mutchen, N. J., Camp Meade, and Camp Lee. After the armistice he of Chicago in the lake level controversy, in 1924-25, and became assistant engineer with the Alphons Custodis chairman of the efficiency and economy commission to Chimney Construction Company, of New York, and at reorganize the city government of Baltimore.

My brother and I are living at 71 West 104, in the only city in the world. We are both connected with the Department of Highways, in the capacity of civil engineers. I imagine that Elmer Zarbell must be among the lost, if so I can tell you definitely where he is to be found: his address is: Columbus, Miss. Office of Chief Engineer of the Hanover Construction Co. Just about a year ago, I was given a promotion as topographer on a rail road locating party at Blocton [?] Fla. I went there to join my part and the first person I met was Zarbell; we rented together for four months until I left to accept a Civil Service Appointment in this city. I might mention that that section of Fla where I was, is the toughest section in the United States; a moonshine district, where a man’s life does not amount to much. I understand that William Newell Hisey’s address is not know. He was one of my best friends at college and we corresponded until about two years ago; he was living then at Los Angeles, Cal. Very sincerely yours, Julio M. Steinacher, 71 West 104. as a member of the graduating class. Yours Sincerely, E.J. Fort.

Mr. David Hoy, Ithaca, N. Y. Dear Dave:-- I am in great need of a ten year book. I have a great deal of traveling to do all over the country and pass a great many lonely evenings, and I know that just where-ever I happen to be there are some old tried, true and trusted chums of Cornell days, but not knowing who they are and just where to find them I have to spend my evenings all alone. I shall be very much obliged to you in the trouble I give you in sending me this ten year book. I have no idea the expense for same, but will send you check promptly upon receipt of same. You will be surprised that I have jumped from Civil Engineering to Life Insurance. I have not yet decided in my mind why I have done so, how-ever I like this business very much indeed and have a satisfactory position with the Company. With best wishes to you and your brother, I remain as ever, Very sincerely yours, Julio Steinacher. Address #695 St Nicholas Ave., New York City, N. Y.

He helped 605 Buck Skinner was born in Buffalo, New York, September 7,1885, the son of Rachel Amelia Sumner Skinner and Frank Woodward Skinner, C. E. He was educated for his profession at Columbia University and at Harvard, becoming connected with the American Museum of Natural History in New York about 1907. With this institution he remained until 1915, when he joined the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation. Here he stayed until 1920, when he accepted the position of Curator of Anthropology in the Public Museum of the City of Milwaukee, but in 1924 he returned to the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, remaining a member of its staff until his death. While Mr. Skinner studied and wrote on American archeology, particularly of New York State, he will be best remembered as an ethnologist. The Menomini tribe of Wisconsin was his specialty and was treated exhaustively in his works, but he also published many valuable books and pamphlets on other tribes such as the Sauk, the Potawatomi, the Iowa, the Cree, the Plains Ojibway, the Saulteaux, the Eastern-Dakota, and even an account of the Bribri of Costa Rica. Skinner was a great reader, and his truly wonderful memory enabled him to make the best possible use of what he read. His general knowledge of the American field, in both archeology and ethnology, was unusually wide; and probably no one alive today has so thorough and detailed a knowledge of the Central Algonkian tribes and the Southern Siouan peoples who resembled them in culture. On the other hand, physical anthropology and linguistics had no special appeal for Skinner; he concentrated his forces on such subjects as material culture, social organization, mythology, and religion. His great success in field work among the tribes lay not alone in his extensive knowledge of his subject, and his background of education and technical training, but also in his love for the American Indian as a race, his admiration for their little-known ideals and achievements, his sympathetic understanding of their problems, their point of view, their outlook on life. Although without Indian ancestry of his own, it was his pride that Wyandot blood flows in the veins of his wife and of his daughter. The Indians understood and appreciated all this; they loved him in return, and would give to him freely what they might withold from others. And the Menomini formally adopted him under the Thunder-clan name of Sekosa, or “Little Weasel,” which clung to him to the end, although after his marriage to the present Mrs. Skinner he received the Wyandot Deer-clan name of Tronyetase, or “Round the Sky.” Skinner was a valued member of various scientific societies, including the American Anthropological Association and the Wisconsin Archeological Society, an active member of the Explorers’ Club, a life member of the American Museum of Natural History, a Mason, and a Shriner. His bubbling humor, his courage, his cheerful, buoyant, radiant personality, rising above the sorrows and bereavements that darkened his private life, made friends for him everywhere friends, red and white, who will find in his death an irreparable loss. His parents, his wife, Dorothy Preston Skinner, and a little daughter, Esther Mary, aged four, survive him. W383 George Devin Obituary. George Devin ’73.

Professor Harris J. Ryan ’87, former head of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Cornell University, died July 5 at Palo Alto, California, at the age of 68. He was an emeritus professor of Stanford University. Professor Ryan was prominent in many branches of electrical engineering, but was best known as a pioneer and world authority in the study of high voltages. Born in Powell Valley, Pa., he received his early education in Baltimore City College and Lebanon Valley College. He entered Cornell in 1883, the year of the establishment of the course in electrical engineering, and graduated four years later in 1887. For the two years following, he was associated with J. G. White, ’85 Ph.D., and D. C. Jackson, ’86 G., whom he had known as graduate students at Cornell, in general engineering practice in the Middle West under the firm name of the Western Engineering Company. In 1889 he returned to Cornell as an instructor in physics. The following year he was made assistant professor of electrical engineering, and in 1895 at the age of twentynine he was made full professor with complete charge of the Electrical Engineering Department. He remained at Cornell in that capacity until he was placed in charge of the electrical engineering branch at Stanford University. Professor Ryan devoted his time largely to the study of problems that have proved to be of great practical and economic value to the electrical industry. The first of his many contributions to attract widespread attention was an experimental study of the alternating transformer, carried on during his first year as instructor at Cornell. This paper, written when he was only twenty-three years old, has become a classic in its field. While at Cornell he also took up the intensive investigation of high voltages, which he continued throughout his career. The transformer, the porcelain insulator, present-day solutions of the corona problem in high-voltage transmission, all owe much to him and he has had great influence on recent theories of air breakdown at high potentials.

Since 1905 he had been president of the Elliott Company, of Ridgeway, Pa., manufacturers of electric, steam and hydraulic power plant apparatus. His son, George F. Elliott ’17, was associated with him there, as were Milton E. Thompson ’90 as consulting engineer and Harry E. Erb ’28 as service manager. Mr. Elliott was also president of the Kerr Turbine Company, Liberty Manufacturing Company, and vice-president of the Lagonda Maufacturing Company.

He had accepted an important position at that place and had been one month at work. The cause of his death was presumably heart disease for he was afflicted with that trouble while attending the University.

Oviatt (right front) at the home of his father in Forest Park, Ithaca, Tuesday afternoon, May 13. His death resulted from tuberculosis, from which he had been suffering for a number of years. The deceased was a grandson and namesake of the founder of the University, and is said to have inherited in a marked degree the strong characteristics of his grandfather. He was born in Ithaca in 1864, and received his education in the public schools of the city and at the University. After graduation he took up the practice of electrical engineering, and was meeting with a degree of success which gave promise of a brilliant future when he was suddenly stricken with the disease which eventually caused his death. He was obliged to give up his professional work and devoted himself to the raising of fancy poultry. In this he was singularly successful and his exhibits at the poultry shows soon won him a wide reputation. He also took a prominent part in the business interests of Ithaca, holding among his various positions, the presidency of the Cornell Incubator company, and a directorship in the Ithaca Street Railroad company.

In addition to the portrait of Mr. Lovell there is a picture of the Robinson building with the window indicated from separated from him as she went to Elmira college, where she is a student, and he continued his walk to the office. She is, there, the last of the family to have seen Mr. Lovell alive. Biographical. The Elmira Star-Gazette contains the following biographical sketch and tribute to the deceased as a man and a citizen: Herbert Marlow Lovell was born at Marathon, Cortland county, in 1858, and was a son of Ransom Marlow and Dorcas E. Meacham Lovell He was educated in the Marathon Union school, the Cortland Normal school, the Michigan Normal school and Cornell University, where he received the degree of A. B. in 1887. He was married in 1883 at Dryden to Miss Lillian Louise Truesdale. A daughter. Dorothy Talcott, was born to them. Mr. Lovell came to Elmira when he was appointed as the principal of the E. F. A. in 1887, in which position he continued until 1895. During the latter part of his work as the principal of the school Mr. Lovell took up the study of law, passed the legal examinations and was admit- ted to the State Bar association in 1893. He assumed the practice of law immediately after leaving his duties at the Academy and became a member of the law firm of Lovell, Bogart & Gardner, with offices on the fourth floor of the Robinson building. Mr. Lovell served as the secretary of the Chemung Fire Insurance company. In his political life he was a member of the Republican county commit- ted from 1898 to 1901; the senatorial committee for the Fortieth senatorial district from 1902 to 1906. He also was the city attorney for the term of 1900 and 1901. In 1915 Mr. Lovell was appointed the local referee in bankruptcy cases, in connection with the United States Herbert Marlow Lovell District Court.

E.—Edward Hedden is with the United States Reclamation Service at Caldwell, Idaho. From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 9, No. 34, 29 May 1907, p. 416. Hon. Edward Hedden, as United States surveyor general for the state of Idaho, occupies a position of importance, the 616 duties of which he discharges with ability, faithfulness and tact. He now makes his home in Boise but formerly resided in Caldwell, Idaho. He was born on a farm in Tompkins county, New York, November 12, 1864, and was an only child, his parents being Aaron C. and Agnes Estella (Terry) Hedden, both descendants of old New York families, members of which participated in the Revolutionary war. One of the great-grandfathers of our subject on the paternal side was a captain in that conflict, serving on the Colonial side. Mr. and Mrs. Aaron C. Hedden have now passed away, the mother dying in Rochester, Minnesota, when her son Edward was but three years of age. The family had removed from New York state to Rochester in 1865, there settling amid pioneer conditions. The father subsequently married Martha A. Ganoung and to that union were born a son and a daughter: Ray G., of Caldwell, Idaho; and Mrs. Emma Agnes Penny, of Yonkers, New York. Aaron C. Hedden later in life took up his abode in Idaho and died in Caldwell a few years ago at the age of seventy-three, being survived by his widow, who now resides in New York state. After his mother’s death Edward Hedden and his father returned to Tompkins county. New York, where the son was reared on a farm. He acquired his primary education in the public schools and subsequently took up civil engineering, being graduated from the department of civil engineering of Cornell University in 1887. He at once entered upon his profession, which he continued to follow from 1887 to the time of his appointment as surveyor general of Idaho by President Wilson in 1916. For many years he was engaged in railway construction supervision in the service of the Northern Pacific, the Burlington and the Union Pacific. He came to Idaho in 1891 in the interests of the Union Pacific Railroad and located at Caldwell. During his residence there he served for three terms as surveyor of Canyon county and was city engineer of Caldwell for some time. During this period he was also engaged in private engineering work, being particularly connected with irrigation projects. He was chief engineer of construction on the Farmers Union ditch in Ada and Canyon counties and was employed in a similar capacity on other irrigation work. For four years he was construction engineer for the reclamation service of the government in Idaho. His presidential appointment as surveyor general of the state came to him on the 29th of August, 1916, his new duties making necessary his removal to Boise. On the 5th of May, 1897, in Caldwell, Idaho, Mr. Hedden was united in marriage to Kittie Lee Callaway, a native of that city and a daughter of the late Hon. Abner Early Callaway, who as one of the famous ’49ers went from Missouri to California and came to Idaho from the Golden state during early pioneer days in this district. He was an honored veteran of the Mexican war and was prominent and powerful in democratic circles, serving for several terms in the legislature. Mr. Hedden is prominent in the Masons, having attained the thirty-second degree in the Scottish Rite, and is also a Shriner. He is a past master of Mount Moriah Lodge, No. 39, A. F. & A. M., at Caldwell, Idaho. His faith in the future of the state is indicated by investments which he has made in agricultural property and he now owns a valuable eighty-acre ranch near Caldwell, devoted to the raising of alfalfa, and there he spends his vacation periods, in fact he finds his chief recreation In farming, taking a great interest in that occupation, and when upon his farm participates in the actual work, assisting the hay hands, thus finding recuperation and the necessary stimulation for the arduous duties which fall to his lot in his official position, lie is very conscientious in the performance of his work, which is of the utmost importance to the state and Its inhabitants, and he is well liked by all who have come in contact with him in private or official life because of his pleasant and genial ways.

Nampa (AP) - Edward Hedden, 77, prominent Idaho engineer and a resident of the state since 1891, died today at a Nampa hospital. Hedden was best known as surveyorgeneral of Idaho from 1917 to 1926 after his appointment by President Woodrow Wilson, and as the project engineer of the Lake Lowell reclamation project near Caldwell and Nampa. He was a resident of Caldwell from 1891 until 1905 when he moved to Rupert. He later returned to Caldwell and in 1917 was transferred to Boise. Since 1926 he has been a resident of Nampa. He had served as Canyon county surveyor and was city engineer at Nampa prior to his retirement a few years ago. He is survived by his wife, the former Kitty Lee Callaway, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.

The most notable feature about the tablets is that they were designed by a member of the Sibley College faculty, and that the casting was done in the foundry of the college, by Cornell men. Hitherto it has been customary for the University to have similar tablets made in foundries elsewhere, but it was deemed fitting that tablets in memorial of the men whose generosity made Sibley College possible, should be altogether a product of that institution. The drawings and the plaster of Paris casts were, therefore, made by Hiram S. Gutsellof the Sibley College faculty, and then turned over to James Vanderhoef, head of the foundry department. Twelve hundred pounds of metal was used for the tablets. Each was made in five pieces: The base, the main tablet, the mantle, the dome, and the ornamental piece surmounting the dome. The memorial to Hiram Sibley weighs 320 pounds the other, 260 pounds. The castings was carried on with much difficulty, because of the size of the metal handled and the limited equipment of the foundry, together with the inexperience of most of Mr. W429 Emmett Elsworth Hart Obituary.

W433 Frederick Eugene Turneaure Dean Frederick Eugene Turneaure. Professor F. E. Turneaure who has served as Acting Dean of the College of Engineering since the death of Dean Johnson in June 1902, was elected Dean of this College at the winter meeting of the Board of Regents on January nineteenth. Frederick Eugene Turneaure was born July 30, 1866, on a farm near Freeport, Illinois, and his early life was that of the average farmer boy. He a attended the country schools, and while there took up the study of Algebra and Geometry in addition to the studies usually offered in the country school. He attended the Freeport, Illinois, high school a portion of two years, during the sessions of ’82 to ’84 and as far as attendance at school is concerned, this completed his preparatory training. He taught in a country school one winter, and by the fall of 1885 he was ready to enter college. Having decided on the profession of Civil Engineering as his life work, he took the entrance examinations and was registered as a student in the College of Civil Engineering of Cornell University. This was soon after the establishment of certain undergraduate scholarships which were awarded annually by competitive examination, for proficiency in the mathematics required for entrance. The mathematical study which he had begun in the country schools and continued during one year of 620 high school, and later by self help, enabled the then freshman Turneaure to win this scholarship, which paid two hundred dollars per year during his entire college course. He graduated from Cornell with the degree of C. E. in the class of 1889, and immediately entered the service of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. He remained with this company for about a year, being engaged in general railway engineering work, and then joined the engineering staff of the Chesepeake [sic] and Ohio Railroad, on location surveys in Virginia and West Virginia, continuing in this line of work until the fall of 1890. At this time an offer of a fellowship in civil engineering was received from his Alma Mater, Cornell University, which was declined with some hesitancy [sic] in favor of on offer of a position as instructor in civil engineering at Washington University, St. Louis. The decision turned out to be a fortunate one, however, for at Washington he was brought into close association with the late Dean Johnson, who was then Professor of Civil Engineering at that institution. It was while Professor Turneaure was at Washington University that the greater portion of “Modern Framed Structures” was written. This work was the joint production of Messrs. Johnson, Turneaure and C. W. Bryan, the latter then being engineer for the Edge Moor Bridge Company. This treatise on the design of framed structures is now in the eighth edition and is a recognized standard all over the world, a translation having recently been made in the Japanese language. In the fall of 1892 Professor Turneaure came to the University of Wisconsin to take the newly created chair of Bridge and Sanitary Engineering which he has held until his recent election as Dean. He was on leave of absence during the year of ’95-’96 when he made an extensive tour of England, Germany and France with the special object of studying the foreign methods of sanitation and bridge design. In 1901, in conjunction with Dr. H. L. Russell, Professor of Bacteriology in the College of Agriculture of the University, he published a work on “Public Water Supply,” which is a work of great value as the subject is dealt with from the standpoint of both the hydraulic engineer and the bacteriologist. In 1897 Professor Turneaure conducted an extensive series of experiments on the stresses in bridge members due to moving train loads, the results of which were first published in the Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers and attracted wide attention. The results obtained contributed largely to more exact methods of design, and have been made use of in the preparation of specifications. Professor Turneaure was City Engineer of the City of Madison during the two years 1900 and 1901 and while serving in this capacity he designed two engineering works of vital importance to the city, the first of these being the pressent [sic] septic sewage disposal plant which successfully solved this troublesome question. The second was the installation of a system of auxiliary pumps in the artesian wells from which the city’s water supply is drawn, this demonstrating a method by the courtesy of the ’00 Cornellian Board, The News is which an abundant supply of wholesome water may be enabled to reprint, with some corrections, the list of Cor- obtained for many decades to come.

A Testing of Materials; American Railway and Maintainance [sic] of Way Association; American Association for the Advancement of Science. He is president of the Science Club of the University during the current year. Dean Turneaure has always taken an active interest in the city’s welfare, believing this to be his duty toward the students, as well as a duty to be expected from every citizen. After retiring from the office of city engineer which he held as a non-partisan, he was elected a member of the Common Council as a representative of the fifth ward, an office he holds at the present time. Mr. and Mrs. Giles Turneaure, parents of the Dean, now make their home in Madison, having moved here in 1901. Dean Turneaure was married in 1891, to Miss Mary D. Stewart, of Anchor, Illinois, and they have one child, a son, Stewart, now four years of age. Mrs. Turneaure is also a graduate of Cornell of the class of 1890, and unites in her character a strong personality with a winning manner. She is an able assistant to her husband in all his work. When Dean Turneaure began his duties as Professor of Bridge and Sanitary Engineering in 1892, the faculty of the college consisted of nine members including the instructors and there were but 197 students in the whole college, little more than half as many as there are in the present freshman class. The change from a small department of the Unviversity [sic] to a separate college was just beginning, and aside from the then small shops, all there was of it including laboratories was quartered in a portion of the north end of Science Hall. The year and a half during which Dean Turneaure served as Acting Dean was a time of great prosperity and substantial growth for the College, and showed his marked capability for executive work.

In these days of constant progress in engineering the death of a man who has retired from active service for nearly a decade is apt to pass without sufficient notice of the good work he has done unless some friend who was a junior associate during his active career contributes a few memoranda as a tribute of respect and affection. The writer’s personal acquaintance with Admiral Bailey covered almost forty years, and included a short cruise and an extended tour of duty in the Bureau of Engineering, during which times the association was constant and intimate. Admiral Bailey was one of the most modest of men, with the natural result that his great ability and lovable character are only known to those who were thrown with him intimately. He gave his whole attention to his work and none to exploiting what he had done, so that the general public hardly knew him at all. He was born in Cranesville, Pa., in June, 1851, but moved to Gowanda, New York, in 1866. He took a course in Scio College, Scio, Ohio, and then, in 1873, entered the Naval Academy as a cadet engineer in the third class of those who took the two-year course. His remarkable ability and aptitude for engineering showed from the beginning and he graduated in June, 1875, at the head of a class which contained a number of very able men. From that time until his retirement in 1913 he performed the usual alternation of duty at sea or on shore, making a record which was always distinguished for the highest efficiency. He was Professor of Marine Engineering in Cornell University by detail from the Navy from 1885 to 1888, where he enjoyed the respect of the faculty and students for his, attainments in his own branch of the profession and his general proficiency as an engineer. From 1891 to 1896 he was on duty in the Bureau of Engineering, most of the time as Chief Designer, and it was during this period, and a later similar assignment, that his very best work was done for the Navy.

W436 Peter Jones It is interesting in this connection to note that another talented officer of great ability who has recently retired after a distinguished career as one of the best strategists in the service also discussed this same subject with the writer about 1896 and suggested amalgamation from the standpoint of a line officer. Thus it happened when the late Admiral Evans proposed the amalgamation to the Personnel Board of which the writer was a member, the latter was in a position to say that he had discussed this with some of the ablest officers in both the line and engineer corps and knew that they were favorable to it. The idea, as is known to students of the subject, dated back as far as the time when Secretary Gideon Wells suggested the same thing in 1865, but the service was not then ready for it.

This impression is certainly inconsistent with memory of Andrew D. White’s liberalism and with his reputation as a staunch proponent of tolerance. Researches undertaken by some local historians reveal that the press notices that appeared on Dr. Adler’s death are utterly unfair to Cornell and to President White. Dr. Adler was not “banished” from Cornell. His relations with the University were always most amicable, and the most pleasant relations persisted between Dr. Adler and the University long after he had ceased to be a member of the instructing staff. While it is true that during Dr. Adler’s incumbency of a special lectureship at the young institution during 1874-77, he was the subject of vicious attacks by the Ithaca Democrat (a paper which was opposed to the foundation of the University in Ithaca, which had relentlessly prosecuted the “godless Cornell” theme, and which never overlooked an opportunity to condemn the activities on East Hill) these attacks were never echoed by any member of the From: U.S. Passport Applications, 1795-1925, Ancestry. University staff. Indeed, University sentiment supported com. Dr. Adler in his efforts to give a course in religious history 623 without perverting his researches with personal theology. Dr. Adler came to Cornell in 1874, soon after he had completed the European studies which laid the foundation of his ethical philosophy. He came to Cornell not as a member of the faculty, but as a non-resident lecturer— one of the distinguished group of scholars who lent their academic prestige to the struggling little institution in the wilderness. It had been one of the purposes of Mr. Cornell and President White to establish at Cornell a professorship in Hebrew and Oriental literature, a professorship which could secure to Cornell students the advantages of a dispassionate and scientific treatment of the culture from which sprang the prevailing religion of the country. But the meagre resources of the University did not permit the immediate establishment of this chair. “A number of gentlemen in New York, headed by a distinguished Israelite, wellknown for his public spirit” came to the aid of this cause. In March, 1874, Mr. Joseph Seligmann (the “distinguished Israelite”) offered to endow a professorship of Hebrew and Oriental literature and history in the University for three years, on condition that he should nominate the incumbent. “The offer was accepted, the appointment being rather in the nature of a lectureship, the duties of which required residence at the University while a course of lectures was given. It was expected that this appointment would fill an important deficiency in the University curriculum, as scientific instruction in Hebrew was desired. Dr. Felix Adler, who was nominated to this chair, was a graduate of Columbia College and of the University of Heidelberg, a man of fresh scholarship and of pronounced opinions on the history of religion, philosophy, and ethics. Dr. Adler possessed great ability as a lecturer. He was an independent thinker and possessed the power of clear and eloquent statement.* Dr. Adler’s lectures were attended enthusiastically, and met with complete approbation in the University community. Only in the city of Ithaca were there disapproving murmurs. The Ithaca Democrat found that the heterodoxy of Dr. Adler’s beliefs furnished a convenient excuse for attacking the University which was so obnoxious to the editors of the paper. Dr. Adler ignored these attacks, and continued his lectures, with the support of the entire University community. When the three-year term for which Dr. Adler’s services had been engaged came to a close in 1876, he left Ithaca, followed only by the regrets of the University community that he could not become permanently identified with the institution for which he had done so much. President White was in Europe at the time of Dr. Adler’s departure, but he wrote quite warmly about the great value of Dr. Adler’s services as a lecturer. In reply to some attacks on Dr. Adler which followed his incumbency of a Cornell non-resident lectureship, he wrote that Dr. Adler had his “respect for his devotion to study, and his faithfulness to his convictions.” Dr. Adler enjoyed at all 624 Felix Adler times during his lectureship the sympathy and support of President White and of every University authority. There never was any intention to oust him because many of the things he said from the lecture-platform were not consonant with prevailing convictions. Indeed, the attacks upon Dr. Adler were made the signal for a counterattack against those interests which had condemned the establishment of an institution which was “not under the control of any Synod, Council, Convention, Consistory, or Convocation—of any one denomination or combination of denominations.” Such men as Louis Agassiz, James Russell Lowell, George William Curtis, James Anthony Froude, and Bayard Taylor were criticized just as severely as was Dr. Adler. Even Goldwin Smith, when he lent his invaluable aid to the revolutionary little college in central New York, was characterized as “dangerous.” Dr. Adler certainly enjoyed distinguished company as a target for the attacks of the bigoted, and he was defended with all these others as a man who could rise above narrow prejudice. Writing from Castellamare di Stabia, Italy, in April, 1877, when the attacks upon Dr. Adler were at their height, President White addressed himself to the alumni and undergraduates of Cornell, in a vigorous defense of Dr. Adler. He appended a reiteration of the University’s policy against permitting interference by sectarian bodies. In this letter† is the most conclusive evidence that Dr. Adler was never “banished” from Cornell. *(Cornell University—A In 1885 Adler and others created the Tenement House History: Waterman Thomas Hewett, Volume II, pp. 2., 3).

He was born in Alzey, Germany, the son of a rabbi, Samuel Adler. When Felix was six, his father was appointed head rabbi at Temple Emanu-El in New York City and his family immigrated to the United States. Adler earned his undergraduate degree from Columbia University in 1870, and already being regarded as his father’s successor, he was sent to Heidelberg University to prepare for the rabbinate. Upon his return to America his father’s congregation asked him to deliver a sermon from the pulpit. That address, The Judaism of the Future, created a lot of talk because he had not mentioned God. When asked directly if he believed in God, young Felix responded, “Yes, but not in your god.” Thus ended his future at Temple Emanu-El. But in that address were the seeds of Ethical Culture. During the two years following, Adler taught Hebrew and Oriental languages at Cornell University. His outspoken attitude and his convictions drew the criticism that he was “dangerous” to his students, and he relinquished the professorship in 1876. That same year, at the age of 24, Adler founded the New York Society for Ethical Culture. His lectures before the Society on Sundays were well known and attended, and were routinely reported on in the New York Times. Adler’s belief in deed above creed led the Society to foster projects that focused on the poor and underserved in the community. In 1902 Adler was given the chair of political and social ethics at Columbia University which he held until his death in 1933. Well known as a lecturer and writer, Adler served as rector for the Ethical Culture School until his death in 1933. Throughout his life he always looked beyond the immediate concerns of family, labor, and race to the longterm challenge of reconstructing institutions like schools and government to promote greater justice in human relations. Within Adler’s ethical philosophy, cooperation rather than competition remained the higher social value. Adler was the founding chairman of the National Child ings had actually been erected on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Even though critics favored restrictive legislation for improving tenement living, the model tenement was a progressive step forward. By the late 1890s, with the increase in international conflicts, Adler switched his concern from domestic issues to the question of American foreign policy. While some contemporaries viewed the 1898 Spanish American War as an act to liberate the Cubans from Spanish rule, others perceived the U.S. victories in the Caribbean and the Philippines as the beginning of an expansionist empire. Adler at first supported the war but later expressed anxiety about American sovereignty over the Philippines and Puerto Rico, concluding that an imperialistic rather than a democratic goal was guiding U.S. foreign policy. Ethical Culture affirms “the supreme worth of the person” and Adler superimposed this tenet on international relations, believing that no single group could lay claim to superior institutions and lifestyle. Unlike many of his contemporaries during World War I, Adler didn’t feel that the defeat of Germany alone would make the world safe for democracy. Peace could only be achieved, he thought, if the representative democratic governments remained non-imperialistic and if the arms race was curbed. As a result, Adler opposed the Versailles Treaty and the League of Nations. As an alternative, he proposed a “Parliament of Parliaments” elected by the legislative bodies of the different nations and filled with different classes of people, rather than special interests, so that common ground and not national differences would prevail. Adler lectured extensively throughout his life and published such works as Creed and Deed (1878), Moral Instruction of Children (1892), Life and Destiny (1905), The Religion of Duty (1906), Essentials of Spirituality (1908), An Ethical Philosophy of Life (1918), The Reconstruction of the Spiritual Ideal (1925), and Our Part in this World.

Y., on November 14, Cornell lost one of the most prominent alumni that have been given to the world by the College of Civil Engineering since its establishment. In the fifteen years since his graduation, Mr. Burns had been engaged in some of the greatest engineering works of the time, and the practice of his profession had carried him completely around the globe. Mr. Burns was born in Watertown, July 28, 1870. He obtained his early education in the Watertown public schools and in the High school of that city, and entered Cornell in 1888 at the age of eighteen years. He had won a state scholarship, and earned the remainder of his expenses at college through his talent as a musician, playing first violin in the orchestra and at the Lyceum theater. Professor George W. Cavanaugh, ‘96, who was his room-mate during the four years of his college life, says he has never known so tireless a worker. Day after day Mr. Burns would arise at 5 o’clock in the morning to study, after being kept out until after midnight circuit of the globe, coming by way of Europe and the Atlantic. After his return he was engaged, until last summer, on the construction of extensive street railway systems in Memphis, Term., involving an expenditure of more than $8,000,000. Having completed this work, he had returned to his home in Watertown for a short rest before taking up his next commission, the building of the tunnel under the East river for the Pennsylvania railroad. He became ill of typhoid fever on November 1, and died November 14. He was buried at Watertown, N. Y. During the past few years Mr. Burns had been a frequent contributor to engineering periodicals, his articles on the railroad in China which appeared in the Engineering News being the best known. He was a man of versatile accomplishments, and seemed to have the ability to excel in whatever he undertook. At the time of his death he possessed a speaking knowledge of French, German, Spanish and Italian, and had considerable acquaintance with the Chinese language. He was unmarried, and both his parents are dead. He is survived by five brothers and two sisters. the evening before by his musical work.

He was born in Watertown, New York, February 4, 1870. After graduation from the Watertown High School he taught school for one year at Rutland, New York. He Caldwell in 1903 Professor Cavanaugh succeeded him in the field of agricultural chemistry. Professor Cavanaugh was essentially a teacher. His subject matter was presented in an interesting and convincing manner. He was gracious and generous, and took a keen personal interest in his students. He will be remembered by a host of former students with affection and respect. As a citizen, Professor Cavanaugh was a man of broad interests. He possessed a kindly disposition and a keen wit, was sympathetic and tolerant, and always ready to serve his fellow men. His influence on the life of the community in which he lived will not soon be forgotten. From: Office of the Dean of the University Faculty, Faculty Memorial Statement. George W. Cavanaugh As a freshman arriving in Ithaca via the Ithaca-Auburn Shortline in the Fall of 1917, I was pounced on by a Rooming Agency Compet who prompt- ly stowed me away in a rooming house halfway down Wil- liams Street below the White Gateway. Climbing up that nearly perpendicular street on registration day, I found my way to the Chemistry Department, then housed in the roofed-over ruins of Morse Hall which had been gutted by fire the preceding February. There, in my first meeting with a Cornell professor, George W. Cavanaugh, I was initiated into the mysteries of the B. Chem, curriculum. In those unhurried days a chemistry undergraduate had as advisor each year a senior professor, changing each year, so one was sure to get to know at least four members of the faculty. In 1917 some sixty of us freshmen for the B. Chem. courses were welcomed individually by Professor graduated from Cornell University in 1896 with the Cavanaugh who made our problems his. On a Saturday degree of bachelor of science. In 1891, while still a junior afternoon later that Fall I washed the windows of the in the University, he was appointed assistant chemist in Cavanaugh home to earn a much-needed dollar, and got the Cornell Agricultural Experiment Station. He held to know Mrs. Cavanaugh, a gracious small lady who was a this position until 1903, when he was appointed assis- semi-invalid. She welcomed me and helped me forget my tant professor of Agricultural Chemistry. In 1909 he was disappointment in not being able to attend the football made professor of Agricultural Chemistry, the position game with my better-heeled classmates.

The development of ugh was strictly a Cornell product and, following in the the College of Agriculture to its present position was footsteps of Professor Caldwell, he spent his whole career made possible to a large degree by those members of the in the service of the University and the farmers of New staff who, in earlier days, carried science to the practical York State. Professor Caldwell, one of the first four profes- farmer. In this field Professor Cavanaugh played a large sors picked by Ezra Cornell, was an innovator in the ap- role.

He transferred to the Department of Chemistry the Experiment Station. On the retirement of Professor 628 in 1905 as Assistant Professor of Chemistry in It’s Rela- tion to Agriculture, becoming Professor in 1909. (In those days, because of strenuous faculty action, the degree of Associate Professor was not used at Cornell). In 1914 Cavanaugh was named Professor of Agricultural Chemistry. He retired as Emeritus Professor on July 1, 1938 and died July 2, 1938. He is unique in the history of the Chemistry Department as the only professor not having an advanced degree. Professor Cavanaugh, as I knew him, was of medium height and slight build, with thinning gray hair and a mustache. He would peer quizzically over his glasses, a quick twinkling of his eyes enlivening his lectures. He and Henry Feehan, our Irish stockkeeper, were great friends and met frequently at Henry’s window to laugh over the latest Irish jokes. Because Cavanaugh’s courses in food and agricultural chemistry were not required for the B. Chem. degree, he was not as well known to chemistry majors as other professors in the Department. As a senior I benefited from Cavanaugh’s course in Food Chemistry. He was a natural teacher, presenting his subject matter in an interesting and convincing manner and interlarding his remarks with many personal experiences and humorous incidents. He took a keen interest in his students. Professor Cavanaugh believed in carrying science to the farmers of the State. His engaging personality and ability to make clear the application of chemistry to agriculture made him a welcome lecturer at Farmer’s Institutes. He realized the necessity of utilizing surplus agricultural products and was particularly interested in dairy problems. The economical production of powdered milk was an important development resulting from Cavanaugh’s investigations. Later he became interested in the possibility of utilizing giant kelp as a source of iodine, vitamins and trace elements. In the picture he is holding a decorated specimen of kelp, showing that he attacked this problem with characteristic high spirits and good humor. Professor Cavanaugh always entered into Departmental social doings with enthusiasm. Vividly remembered is a mock Ph.D. exam performed at an evening Get-to-gether of faculty and students in the main lecture room of Baker Lab. Cavanaugh and two other senior professors formed the committee and grilled a younger member of the faculty, to the delight of everyone. He was an active honorary member of Al-Djebar, a chemistry convivial group of the ‘20’s and ‘30’s, and regularly attended its initiation dinners and generously transported student members. One remembers driving to a meeting at Freeville Inn and overtaking Cavanaugh’s car which was listing heavily to port. Fearing for his safety, I pulled along side only to find that “Tiny” Robey (a graduate student of some 350 pounds) was one of the passengers in the back seat. Although slight of build, Cavanaugh was fully capable of defending himself vigorously. He delighted in telling of his encounter with a drunk on a Lehigh Valley train. This pugnacious fellow undertook to vent his spleen on the small professor. Cavanaugh doubled up in his seat and let fly with his legs, sending the bully crashing down the aisle, a very surprised and humbler man. With Cavanaugh’s retirement the courses in food and agricultural chemistry were transferred to the College of Agriculture. When his laboratory was liquidated I acquired several cases of cider jugs which still play an important role in my home winemaking activities. A. W. Laubengayer.

For 17 yrs Silas Wright Pickering II has been composing this column for the men of ’24. He has done a memorable job but he has decided to retire. During these yrs Si has written not one word about himself ! It is very much in order that some reminiscences about Si and his work be reported. Most of my recollections go back to our yrs on the Hill where it was my good fortune to be rather closely associated with Si. We were both in Sibley. We were on the same “E” lab “team” (along with Sam Bernard ’25, Dune Williams, Jack Upstill, and Herm Knauss). It was our wkly chore to test various items of electrical equipment. Sam was the only member of our team who had the faintest notion of what we were doing. As a group we nearly drove Prof Johnny Pertsch (the brilliant prof sometimes referred to as “Augustus Pertsch of Franklin Hall,” etc.) up the wall. Si liked to be the “hook-up” man. His procedures were based entirely on Hope. When the switch was thrown sparks flew all over the lab. Poor Prof Pertsch blew his fuse but kept his cool, a truly sweet man! Si did better at Schoellkopf, where he was the imposing character with the stentorian voice who managed Jack Moakley’s 1924 track team. With Rym Berry ’04 he announced events at the track meets. It was a good track team. Remember? In addition to the 1924 nucleus of Fred Lovejoy, Ed Kirby, Tom Hennings, Al Rauch, and “Jinky” Crozier there were some very talented younger men coming along. Si deserves a good deal of credit for the achievements of this group. After graduation Si buckled down to work seriously with Union Carbide in Charleston, W Va. There he met and married his sweet wife, Mimi. He was serious but with a leavening of good humor and fun along the way. It was inevitable that Si should be promoted to the hdqtrs staff of Carbide in NYC where he was made dir of the industrial relations dept. Si is now retd and living with Mimi at 40 E 88th St in “Fun City.” Some Fun! From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 78, No. 2, Sept 1975, p. 30. Alumni Deaths. ’24 ME—Silas W.

In his spare time, Jack sang with the Glee Club and saw to it that monthly copies of the Cornell Widow were delivered on time and to the proper people and places. With all this experience, he went on to found the Todd Planning and Service Co. and become one of Northwestern Mutual Insurance Co.’s most successful agents, with headquarters, first in Chicago, then in Evanston, Ill. In 1963, at 61, Jack was invited to help solve a retirement problem for General Electric Co. In his own words, “It took six years and many trips to New York, but the problem was finally solved with an innovative plan, funded by a form of permanent life insurance. This led to the formation of a new and separate entity called the John O. Todd Organization, which now has computer-connected offices in more than 20 cities, with headquarters in Norwalk, Conn., and staffs totaling close to 200 people.” What a beautiful capstone to a long and exciting career! Finally, at 85, Jack has arranged for others to carry on while he indulges in at least partial retirement in the company of his wife and undergraduate sweetheart, Katherine (Cone).

One of the ways in which Cornell has been gradually winning the recognition and respect of the learned world is through the series of publications called the “Cornell Studies in Classical Philology.” The publication of these monographs was begun in 1887, under the editorship of Professors Isaac Flagg, William Gardner Hale, and Benjamin Ide Wheeler. Since that date the following numbers have been issued : 1. William G. Hale. The cum-Constructions : their history and functions. Part i. Critical, 1887. Part ii. Constructive, 1889, pp. x, 263. Out of print. From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 2, No. 8, 16 Nov 1899, p. 61. Biographical Notes. William Gardner Hale (1849-1928) was a noted classical scholar and professor of Latin at the University of Chicago, best known for his work on the poet Catullus and Latin grammar. Hale was born to a New England family in Savannah, Georgia in 1849. He earned his undergraduate degree at Harvard in 1870 and contin- 638 ued his philosophical education there and in Leipzig and Göttingen, Germany. He taught Latin at Cornell from 1880-1892, and then at the University of Chicago from 1892-1919, upon being recruited by President William Rainey Harper. Hale held the Latin Department Chair from 1894-1899. He was also one of the founders and, for a time, was director (1895-1896) of the American School of Classical Studies at Rome, now the American Academy at Rome. Hale published many articles and texts on the syntax of Latin but made his life’s work the publication of the Catullus Manuscript which he, himself, found in the Vatican. He was also highly involved in developing the pedagogy of Latin, producing two textbooks: Latin Grammar (in collaboration with Carl Darling Buck, 1903), and A First Latin Book (1907). He was highly involved in the Joint Committee on Grammatical Nomenclature, which sought to standardize how Latin grammar was taught in North America and Western Europe. Hale sat on the advisory board of the Loeb Classical Library, which produced translations of classical Greek and Latin texts for a broader, non-academic audience. He was also editor of the journal Classical Review 1885-1907 and became editor of The Classical Quarterly in 1914. William Gardner Hale was in Europe when Germany invaded Belgium in 1914, cabling in an article to the New York Times in which he called for decisive action against Germany. He advocated a multi-lateral approach to the conflict, arguing that the United States should fight with the Allies on the basis that Germany had broken international law. In May 1916, Hale agreed to serve as an honorary vice president of the American Rights Committee during its Carnegie Hall memorial protest of the Lusitania sinking by a German Navy U-Boat. He donated money to various wartime causes, and corresponded with other intellectuals in Europe and the United States about the war. He was also a member of the New England Anti-Imperialist League, an organization that opposed the American annexation of the Philippines on the basis that it violated the credo of republicanism. In 1883, Hale married Harriet Knowles Swinburne (1853-1928) of Newport, Rhode Island, a graduate of Vassar College and a proponent of women’s suffrage. Though William and Harriet owned a home in Hyde Park, they also retained a summer home, Aguiden Lodge, in Kineo, Maine and spent a great amount of time on the East Coast. The Hale family was listed in the Social Register and Who’s Who in America, the directories of names and addresses of prominent American families who formed the country’s social elite. William and Harriet had four children together, all of whom pursued creative endeavors: Swinburne, Margaret, Virginia and Gardner. Swinburne Hale (1884-1937) graduated from Harvard and became a lawyer and socialist activist. He was involved in the Committee of Forty Eight’s Chicago convention, in which they tried to set up a major third party in American politics. He was also an aspiring poet, publishing The Demon’s Notebook in 1923. He was married for ten years to Beatrice Forbes-Robertson Hale, the stage actress turned feminist author and suffragist, then later, to the heiress Marie Tudor Garland, whom he divorced in 1924. Margaret Hale worked as the business manager for her artist husband, the printmaker Ralph M. Pearson, in New Mexico, with whom she launched a line of greeting cards based on his prints. Their third child, Virginia Hale (1887-1981), became an oil painter in California. The Hales’ youngest son, Gardner Hale (1900-1932), became a well-known mural painter and interior designer on the West coast, reviving the fresco technique in the United States. He was married to the socialite and aspiring actress Dorothy (Donovan) Hale. William Gardner Hale eventually retired to Stamford, Connecticut in 1920, where he died in 1928. The Hales’ home on Kimbark Avenue at 58th Street became the Graduate Club, while the second location of their home, 5727 S. University Avenue later became the Department of Music Building and the Statistics-Mathematics Building. From: Guide to the William Gardner Hale Papers circa 1880-1928, University of Chicago Library. W453 John Carew Rolfe Literary Review. A New Study of Cicero. Cicero and His Influence, by John Carew Rolfe, A.M. ’84, Ph.D. ’85, Professor of the Latin Language and Literature, University of Pennsylvania. Boston. Marshall Jones Company. 1923. 19.6 cm., pp. viii, 178. Our Debt to Greece and Rome ioA. The series of which this forms a part is a most commendable enterprise, under the guidance of Professor George D. Hadzsits of the University of Pennsylvania and David M. Robinson of Johns Hopkins. There are to be fifty volumes in which the whole matter of our modern debt to the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome will be discussed. Professor Zimmern is to handle the Greek historians, Professor Walter W. Hyde ’93, of the University of Pennsylvania, Greek religion, and Professor Lane Cooper, Aristotle’s Poetics. Professor Rolfe has been one of the first to arrive at publication with his study of Cicero. He excludes a treatment of Cicero’s philosophy, which is to be the work of Professor Nelson G. McCrea, of Columbia. It should also be noted that the enterprise is made possible by the philanthropy of some forty-odd contributors to the endowment fund, who deserve the thanks of all interested in the perpetuation of the best culture. Dr. Rolfe has produced an excellent volume. He is not a servile admirer of Cicero, nor on the other hand does he underestimate the value of Cicero’s service to the world. He writes in an easy and elegant style, as befits one who has learned of the great Roman, and he gives evidence of a due sense of proportion. Cicero has been the subject of more extravagant praise and of more unjust censure, thinks Professor Rolfe, 639 John Carew Rolfe, 1902 than any other historical personage. The philhellenes of the Renaissance sought to increase the glory of Greek authors by belittling Cicero. Mommsen, a strong partisan of monarchism, exalted Caesar as a representative of that spirit and slandered Cicero. A New York Times writer calls him “an everlasting word-monger, letterwriter, and self-praiser.” On the other hand Dante, Petrarch, Luther, Erasmus, Ascham, Locke, Hume, Voltaire, Montesquieu, and Sainte-Beuve are among the many who have testified to the greatness of the Roman orator and thinker, and the enduring character of his influence on modern life and thought. The Renaissance was from one point of view a rebellion against the servility and humility of spirit which in the Middle Ages revered authority and bowed to king and pope. The Reformation was this same spirit expressing itself in the world of religion. It was natural that Cicero should be venerated and studied by the exponents of this new attitude. He was individualistic in his thinking, and “when properly understood he taught men to make their literary style the expression of their own personality.” Of course the pendulum swung too far, and the rise of a slavish Ciceronianism testified to a lack of judgment on the part of too many of his admirers. But this extreme had its corrective in the vigorous writings of Erasmus, Muretus and Sidney. Modern liberals owe much to Cicero. He was largely responsible for the transmission of the Stoic ethics to the Church fathers. From stout-hearted Pelagius to Voltaire and Channing the liberals of nearly every Christian generation have cause to be grateful to the memory of one who did his own thinking, who, without belief in the gods of his time and country, was nevertheless devoutly religious, who exalted honesty, chastity, and temperance, and who was not afraid to enlist in the service of liberty even when he knew that such service would lead to death and perhaps to a long period of obloquy.

Professor Horatio Stevens White, for twenty-five years a member of the University Faculty, died at the age of 82 December 12, 1934, at his home in Cambridge, Mass, after a brief illness. Professor White was born in Syracuse, April 23, 1851. He was graduated from Harvard in 1873 and received his LL.D. in 1901 from Glascow University. He came to Cornell in 1876 as assistant professor of Greek and Latin, and the next year, during the absence of Professor Waterman T. Hewett in Europe, White took over also a large part of the instruc- tion in German. He was admitted to the Bar in 1878. In 1879, owing to the continued ill health of Professor Willard Fiske, White was elected assistant professor of German which post he held until the establishment in 1883 of two professorships in German, to one of which he was elected, to remain until his resignation in June, 1902, when he returned to Harvard as professor of German. In 1919 he was made emeritus professor at Harvard. He was 640 Horatio Stevens White, 1929 acting curator of the Germanic Museum there in 1908-09 and in 1926. Professor White’s untiring energy and outstanding administrative ability won him the post of dean of the general Faculty in 1888, in which position he continued until 1896, when he became dean of the University Faculty and continued as such until he left the University. He was greatly interested in athletics, and was one of the incorporators in 1889 of the Cornell University Athletic Association, and baseball advisor on the Athletic Council for several years. He was the editor of several German texts and of Fiske’s Chess Tales and Chess Miscellanies, of Memorials of Willard Fiske, and of Willard Fiske—A Biographical Study, published in 1925. He was a member of the Modern Language Association of America, of Phi Beta Kappa, and of Psi Upsilon, and an honorary member of the Goethe Society. On June 14, 1883, Professor White married Fanny Clary Scott of Syracuse, who died last April. He is survived by his son Joseph L. White ’05, of Montclair, N. J., and a sister, Miss Mabel White of Boston. A daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Day, died last January. From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 37, No. 13, 10 Jan 1935, p. 10. W453 Thomas Frederick Crane Professor Crane Dies. A Long and Distinguished Career Brought to a Close—Twice Acting President Thomas Frederick Crane, professor emeritus of Romance languages and literatures in Cornell and for more than forty years an active member of the Faculty, died on December 9 at DeLand, Fla., whither he had gone with his sister, Mrs. Katherine C. McMahon, a few weeks ago, intending to spend the winter in the South. He was eighty-three years old, and had been in failing health for several months, but was for a time apparently better than when he left Ithaca. He was the last member of the original Faculty. He was born in New York on July 12, 1844, and was graduated from Princeton at the age of twenty. His alma mater honored him and herself by granting him an A.M. in 1867, an honorary Ph.D. in 1883, and a L.H.D. in 1903. He at first studied law and settled in Ithaca for the practice of this profession; but his love of letters attracted the notice of President White, who called him to be assistant professor of Spanish and German in the original Faculty. In 1873 he was made professor of Italian and Spanish and in 1881 his title was changed to professor of Romance languages and literatures. He was made professor emeritus in 1909. In the same year and also in 1912-13 he officiated as acting president of the University. He was dean of the Faculty of Thomas Frederick Crane, ca. 1905 641 Arts and Sciences from 1896 to 1902 and of the University Faculty, 1902 to 1909. He was a member of the Finnish Society of Letters, the American Philosophical Society, the Modern Language Association of America, the Royal Academy of Sciences and Arts of Palermo, Kappa Alpha, Phi Beta Kappa, and the Century Club of New York. Professor Crane was one of the most productive of Cornell scholars. Besides a vast number of articles and reviews he wrote “Italian Social Customs of the Sixteenth Century” and edited the “Exempla” of Jacques de Vitny, “Tableaux de la Revolution Francaise,” “Le Romantisme Francais”; “La Societe Francaise au I7me Siecle”; “Chansons Populaire de la France”; Boileau’s “Les Heros de Roman”; Rotrou’s “Saint Genest” and “Venceslaus” and “Italian Popular Tales.” He was one of the world’s leading folk orists, and his knowledge of comparative storyology was extraordinarily broad and exact. In addition to his devotion to his chosen field of study, he took the most active interest in the history and traditions of the University and in its development, and was much in demand as a speaker at all sorts of University functions. Several of his addresses, made on occasions of scholastic import, have been published. Among them are his dedication speech at the unveiling of the statue of Ezra Cornell, on the quadrangle on June 22, 1919, and addresses at the semi-centennial celebration of the College of Architecture, the Rochester meeting of Phi Beta Kappa in 1912, and the dedication of Professor Tarr’s memorial window in Sage Chapel in 1913. At the alumni reunions of many years he took the platform, often making several addresses during the same evening, for such rallies were not considered complete without words of welcome from the friend of so many classes. At the time of his eightieth birthday, Dean Crane recalled part of his dedication speech at the unveiling of the Tarr memorial. The words are these: “A few years ago I accompanied Andrew D. White to Friedrichsruhe to visit the tomb of Prince Bismarck. As I stood before the great granite sarcophagus of the German statesman, I read with emotion the simple inscription: ‘Έin treuer Diener seiner Majestat.’ When, in my turn, I take my place—a mere memory— among my friends upon these walls, I can conceive of no nobler eulogy, if its significance be rightly understood, than the thought of the epitaph of the Iron Chancellor, which might also be inscribed with truth upon this memorial window, ‘Ά faithful servant of the University.’” Dean Crane often spoke of having seen Cornell grow out of its swaddling clothes into one of the leading institutions of the country. Incidentally, he liked to remark on one of the symbols of this growth—that of the Campus shade trees. He knew the Campus when it was but a barren hill top and had seen the trees set out. He had been almost equally interested in the growth and development of Ithaca and its institutions and gave many years of unselfish effort to the Memorial Hospital. He was president of Board of Trustees from 1914 to 1919. On a venture into fiction and it is matter for lasting gratitude July 10, 1872, Professor Crane married Sarah Fay Tourtel- that his latest volume (1925) could include, from his own lot of Ithaca, who died August 21, 1912.

Thomas Frederick Crane Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures 1844 — Dec. 9, 1927 Dean Crane is gone. No other held among us so unique a place. Not only at eighty-three was he the last survivor of the notable group of teachers who nearly sixty years ago formed the original Faculty of Cornell, but as had none of his colleagues he had personally known the Founder and his advisers and shared their plans. A student of law in the office of Ezra Cornell’s closest friend and legal adviser, he had been at hand for help in the new institution’s emergencies. Thus there fell to him large part in its first entrance examinations; and when its professor of German was delayed in Europe he found himself drafted into his place. But his tastes and ambitions were always those of the scholar, and except for the period spent abroad in the completion of his studies he never turned from the career thus thrust upon him. The chair of which he dreamed, devoted wholly to Spanish, was indeed never his, but as Professor of Spanish and Italian, as head of the department of the Romance Languages, as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences (1896-1902), as Dean of the University Faculty (1902-1909) he passed through all ranks of academic preferment, and twice (1899-1900 and 1912-13) he for a year as President of the University. But his activity was never exhausted by class room or administrative office. Gifted with a pen of singular grace and charm, he was conversation and as an after-dinner speaker. Yet few who knew him, sensitive and of delicate health, in his earlier years as a teacher, could have guessed how as Dean he was to become the very centre of student life, accessible and beloved, interested in every student activity and a speaker at all student gatherings. The university, too, now found him its happiest mouthpiece for all public occasions, its most attractive deputy for errands abroad. His addresses on memorial occasions will remain to it an especial treasure. Nor is its debt to him small for material gifts. Again and again he enriched the university library with precious collections and his last act among us was to bestow on it the note-books and memoranda of his lifetime’s study Nor were his interests ever narrowly academic. Though not a native of Ithaca, much of his childhood was spent here, here he fitted himself for college, and his love for the town and its people was deep and sincere. To church and school, to charities and hospital, he gave almost too generously of his means and of himself; and to the wider claims of country and mankind his ear was never deaf. Beneath all this wealth of service, this exuberance of selfexpression, there lay, too, a character deep and earnest. The lightness of his touch was never permitted to belie his reverent convictions or his high sense of what became the gentleman. We shall miss the scholar and the courtly wit; but our deepest sorrow is to lose the man.

Farmington, Connecticut. In addition to a mother who insisted on pursuing every possible treatment that might help her son, Ted Ryder (a third-generation Cornellian) is grateful for the help of two fellow-alumni, among others. It was the persistent urging on his behalf of an uncle, Dr. Morton Ryder ’15, MD ’18, then an intern in New York City, which led to the boy’s acceptance for the then-experimental treatment in Canada. And, as an article about Ryder’s case in the Alumni Quarterly of the Cornell University Medical College (CUMC) explained, “Undoubtedly much of the credit for his continued health must go to another CUMC graduate and friend of his uncle, Maurice “Tim” Root ’15, MD ’18, who was Ryder’s physician for more than 50 years.” So Ted Ryder at 72 is a role model. And he is especially proud, he told a reporter for the Hartford Courant last spring, that diabetes is no longer the feared killer it once was and that he has had some part in showing that persons who have it can lead long and useful lives.

Treatment of diabetes has come a long way from the first experimental injections of insulin (extracted from the pancreas of sheep) that brought Ted Ryder back from death’s door. And he’s come a long way, too, from the desperately ill boy who at age 5 weighed a mere 26 pounds, to become recognized as the person who has been on insulin treatment longer (since 1922) than anyone in the world. Today he enjoys good health as a retired librarian, cartographer, and book seller living in 643 Toronto by Dr. Frederick Banting, when Banting was in charge of trials of the great medical breakthrough he and his co-workers had just announced. Ted Ryder was one of the first dozen humans to receive insulin, and the last of the original patients to die. Ryder was born in New Jersey in 1916. At age 4, he began to show the symptoms of severe juvenile diabetes – excessive urination, insatiable thirst and hunger, rapid weight loss. The diagnosis was a like a death sentence, for the only “treatment” for diabetes was to force patients to eat sparingly. Their bodies had lost the ability to metabolize food properly, so they should only eat the small quantities they could metabolize. At insulin.

But the discovery itself lives on daily, in about 10 Toronto researchers received a Nobel prize, Canada’s first, million diabetics around the world. for the discovery of insulin. Banting and Macleod divided their prize money with the other members of their team, Charles Best and J. B. Collip. The interplay between the researchers (they literally came to blows in the lab and squabbled for decades about credit for the discovery), was one of the main themes of my 1982 book, The Discovery of Insulin. But I had also paid attention to the impact of insulin on diabetic patients and had heavily emphasized the near-resurrections that the team witnessed in the magical season of 1922. I thought that the last of the patients had died, for even today the life span of insulin-using diabetics is well below normal. I had seen little Ted Ryder’s Toronto file, but didn’t have occasion to mention him in my book. In 1983, after giving a talk on the discovery of insulin to a medical history club at Yale, I was approached by a physician who told me of an old man in Hartford who claimed he first got insulin from Banting, name of Ryder… It turned out that Ted Ryder had had a long and satisfying life, faithfully using insulin and a healthy diet to control his diabetes. He had been a librarian and a world traveller and had suffered none of the serious side effects of diabetes that still plague many insulin-takers. When I met him in 1983, he was 67 and just settling in to a retirement home near Hartford. One clue to his remarkable longevity lay in the fact that I also met his mother, age 92. The Ryders were what we used to call New England puritan stock. The Star did a story about my rediscovery of Ted Ryder, and for the next decade he enjoyed a kind of medical celebrity status as the world’s senior insulin user.

Theodore Ryder, 76, of the Gables, Farmington, died Tuesday (March 9). He was born in Carmel, N.Y., and was a longtime resident of West Hartford. He attended West Hartford and Kingswood schools, and Trinity College before receiving his Bachelor’s degree at Cornell University. He later received advanced degrees at the University of Delaware and Pratt Institute Library School. He worked for many years as a librarian for the New York Public Library, the American Geographic Society, Cornell University, and Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas. His special interests included travel, birds, stamp collecting, politics, and geography. A lifetime diabetic, he had the distinction of being the longest surviving of the original group of patients who were administered experimental insulin by Dr. Frederick Banting in Toronto, Canada in 1922. He is survived by his sister, Margaret (Ryder) Shadford of Randolph Center, Vt.; a niece, Anne Pritchard of Randolph Center, Vt.; two nephews, Jonathan Shadford, and Stephen Shadford, both of Collinsville; four grandnieces and grandnephews,; and a dear friend, Joan Hamill of Farmington.

W460 Arad Joy Arad Joy was born at Guilford, Vermont, on April 5, 1790, the son of David and Hannah Partridge Joy. His father was a farmer, a soldier in the Revolution and removed to Fabius, Onondaga Co., in 1800. In 1814, Arad Joy was married to Miss Catherine Fisher, who was born at Pompton, New Jersey on March 25, 1791, and the couple had five children., viz: Arad Thaddeus Joy born on September 12, 1815 and died on September 17, 1834, on the fifth day after his return from a trip through the Missouri Territory, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, and an absence of ten weeks; Horatio N. Joy, M.D., born on March 27, 1819, married Miss Frances Greenough, studied medicine and became a physician and later a photographer in this village where he died on June 24, 1868; Henry L. Joy, M.D. born on June 24, 1822, and removed to Marshall, Michigan, where he was a physician until his death on June 21, 1892; Charles Arad Joy born on October 8, 1823, who became Professor of Chemistry at Union College and then at Columbia College, died on May 28, 1891; and Cornelia C. Joy who married Rev. Dr. Dyer of Philadelphia on February 6, 1850. On January 7, 1811, Arad Joy located in the Town of Lansing where he conducted a store in Ludlowville, employing his younger brother, Benjamin Joy as clerk. In the War of 1812 he acted as Paymaster in the Regiment of Col. Henry Bloom and witnessed the battle of Queenstown. Upon the formation of the Chautauque County Bank at Jamestown in April, 1831, Mr. Joy removed tither, but within six months he became so disgusted with the management and conditions at the bank that he resigned, and in leaving shook off the dust of that town from his shoes forever.

Professor Simon Henry Gage. ’77, Histology and Embryology, Emeritus, oldest member of the Faculty in both age and years of service, died October 20, 1944, at his home in Interlaken. As student, teacher, 647 and research scientist, he had been continuously associ- ated with Cornell for seventy-one years. Born May 20, 1851, near Worcester, Otsego County, Gage entered the Natural History Course in 1873, with money earned as an itinerant photographer. He intended to become a doctor, but Professor Burt G. Wilder, the University’s first professor of Comparative Anatomy and Zoology, persuaded him to seek a career as teacher and scientist. Following his graduation in 1877 with the BS degree, Gage was appointed instructor in Microscopy and Practical Physiology. In 1881, he was advanced to assistant professor and married Susanna Phelps ’80, who died in 1915. In 1889 he studied abroad, returning as associate professor of Physiology. He became associate professor of Anatomy, Histology, and Embryology in 1893, professor in 1895, and retired in 1908 as professor of Histology and Embryology, Emeritus, to undertake special investigations on a grant from the Carnegie Foundation. He was Faculty representative on the University Board of Trustees during 1921 and 1922. Professor Gage returned to active teaching in 1918-19, replacing instructors in war service, and he worked daily in his office and laboratory in Stimson Hall until a year ago, when he and the second Mrs. Gage (Clara Starrett) ’18 moved to Interlaken. He had since worked in his laboratory frequently, and was stricken there October 11. An original partner, in 1894, with the late Professors John H. Comstock ’74 and Anna Botsford Comstock ’85 in founding the Comstock Publishing Co., Inc., Professor Gage had been president of the corporation since 1932 and a director of the University Press since its reorganization in 1930. Professor Gage wrote extensively on microscopy, anatomy, optics, and other sciences; the seventeenth edition of his pioneer work on The Microscope was published in 1941 by Comstock Publishing Co. He was a member of numerous scientific societies, was librarian of the Van Cleef Memorial Library, and was secretary of the Class of ’77. With his son, Dr. H. Phelps Gage ’08, he gave the Gage Research Fund of $10,000 to the Department of Physics in 1918. Among his many contributions to the field of biological research was the perfection of the ultra-violet microscope. Establishment of the annual $500 Simon Henry Gage Graduate Fellowship in Animal Biology was announced May 20, 1941, at a dinner in Willard Straight Hall honoring Professor Gage’s ninetieth birthday. The Fellowship was endowed by more than 250 of his friends, colleagues, and former students. From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 47, No. 9, 1 Nov 1944, p. 175. Simon Henry Gage May 20, 1851 — October 20, 1944 Simon Henry Gage was born at Crumhorn Lake, Otsego County, New York on May 20, 1851. In a prayer meeting that he attended as a youth he first heard of Cornell University from a clergyman who urged his young listeners to have nothing to do with “that godless institution.” Gage was not one to let such an indictment pass without a study 648 Simon Henry Gage of the facts. Convinced by his inquiries of the injustice of the charge, and persuaded that Cornell was the place for him, he matriculated in the fall of 1873—and for seventyone fruitful years his place it turned out to be. Gage’s enthusiastic interest in biology immediately attracted the attention of Professor Burt Green Wilder, whom he assisted throughout his undergraduate years. Upon receiving the degree of B.S. in 1877 he was appointed Instructor in Microscopy and Practical Physiology. His subsequent titles were: Assistant Professor of Physiology and Lecturer in Microscopical Technology, 1881; Associate Professor (as above), 1889; Associate Professor of Anatomy, Histology, and Embryology, 1895; Professor of Microscopy, Histology, and Embryology, 1896; Professor of Histology and Embryology, 1902. In 1896 he organized in the newly established Veterinary College an independent department of histology and embryology which in 1902 was transferred to Stimson Hall, then the new home of the Ithaca division of the Medical College. He retired from teaching in 1908 on a pension provided by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, in order to devote his whole time to the research which he prosecuted with vigor and enthusiasm until his last illness. His final visit to his laboratory was made only ten days before his death. In 1893 he joined Professor Comstock in establishing the Comstock Publishing Company, which, through the bequest of Comstock and the gift of Gage, became the property of Cornell in 1931 when Professor Gage became president of the company, an office he held until 1906), American Society of Naturalists, Royal Society of his death.

Deming – Nineteenth. Frederick T. Deming was one of that rare type of men who maintain marvelous composure, gentle and lovable manners during a life contest in the industrial and political world. Although prominent in business circles he resisted all influences that generally disturbed his neighbors and competitors. He was thoroughly 650 judicial in his temperament. He was ever ready to perform private or public duties. His name was a synonym of honesty and justice. But honesty was not a rare quality in the public men of his generation, nor in the mercantile centers in which he moved. It was his combination of attributes that elevated him to a standard which all men admired. Mr. Deming was the son of Justus Deming, a Berkshire County, Massachusetts, farmer. Both father and son, perhaps, were natives of Connecticut. That is all that we can learn of his antecedents. It accords with the iron logic of his modest personality! He left no further information of his family. His estimate of men was based entirely upon personal, not ancestral, merit; an indication that his own parentage was of modest historical surroundings. In this characteristic Mr. Deming was notable, considering his own prominence as man, merchant and public official. In his early life he learned the trade of cabinet making with a Mr. Wells, in Newark Valley, Tioga County, N. Y. He must have been still young when he accompanied Mr. Wells to Ithaca. A deed was given by David Woodcock to Frederick Deming and a partner in 1817 for a piece of land, 50 by 60 feet, next to the Fall Creek bridge and west of a saw mill, for $600. It was recorded in Book B in 1818 and recited that Ithaca was in the town of Ulysses in the County of Seneca. He was then 21 years old. The record says that he was to establish an oil mill near the bridge. He owned a cabinet shop on the Cascadilla Creek above the Williams (now the Campbell) mill at Linn street. His speculations until late in his life were successful and he saved many thousands of dollars. His declining years were passed in comfort and happiness. His principal occupation was in manufacturing and dealing in furniture. His store and shops were destroyed by fire in the forties. He erected a brick building upon the old site and leased it. Murray E. Poole now owns it and Osborn & Co. occupy it. It is part of the Deming block and contains the Deming Hall. Mr. Deming, later, conducted the furniture business in the present Wolcott & Barton store, No. 107 West State street. How natural that Frederick T. Deming whose character and personality were so like those of Captain John Holman should be chosen for public honors. But unlike Captain Holman Mr. Deming was an earnest and interested partisan. His alliance with the Whigs was a disappointment to his Democratic friends. He became one of a group of fifty men whose presence at party caucuses and meetings gave the Whigs high standing and prestige and many exciting victories over Democrats whose leadership gave Ithaca envied fame and influence in Albany and in Washington. In 1841-5-6-9 Mr. Deming was elected on general tickets, for which every citizen might vote, a trustee of the village. In 1849, he was chosen president by his Whig colleagues Philip J. Partenheimer, Josiah B. Williams, John L. Whiton, Samuel Stoddard and Anson Spencer; and Nathan T. Williams, the only Democrat in the Board. This tribute to Mr. Deming can be expressed with greater effect by naming Democrats who were defeated at that charter the Ithaca Lodge. His residence was on East Green street. election: John H.

A few weeks after he had been elected president of the village he was elected supervisor of the village and town and held the two positions at the same time. He was elected supervisor again in 1851. Radical measures were adopted by the Board of Trustees in 1850, under From: Initial Ithacans Comprising Sketches And Portraits Of The Forty -Four Presidents Of The Village Of Ithaca (1821 To 1888) And The First Eight Mayors Of The City Of Ithaca (1888 To 1903), by Thomas W.

Mr. Deming was appointed a member of the Board of Health and succeeded in enforcing stringent sanitary rules in the village, with Jacob M. McCormick, his colleague. During Mr. Deming’s administration as president of the village a plank sidewalk was ordered to be laid at the expense of owners of property on the west side of Lake avenue from Cayuga street to the steamboat landing. The Cayuga & Susquehanna R. R. Co., by its secretary William R. Humphrey, offered to furnish the plank for a plank road 8 feet wide from the South Hill depot to the steamboat landing if the village would lay it, the company having been granted the right to cross State or any other street in the village that the company might choose. The offer was accepted by the Board of Trustees. Plain street was opened from Buffalo to Cascadilla street. Mill street was opened from Albany street to Plain street. H. W.

Cheney of Potsdam, N. Y., to Miss Mary E. Coe of Elmira, N. Y. The wedding will take place in June. From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 26, No. 31, 8 May 1924, pp. 403-404. Cheney Happy on 25-Year Practice; Looks A head with Keen Anticipation. Dr. David W. Cheney looks back happily on 25 years as a veterinarian in Bath, but he looks forward, too, with keen anticipation to many more years of practicing in a profession he really enjoys. “The past quarter of a century has gone past rapidly and happily,” he declared, “but I couldn’t have done it without the cooperation and kindness of the people in this area. The people have really been pretty nice to me here.” Dr. Cheney has treated a wide variety of animals of all sizes, he recalled, but probably the strangest was the lion in the Strates Carnival show that had a cold. “It had caught distemper just like a dog or a housecat will,” he pointed out, “and I went into its cage and treated it for about a week. The trainers had him all tied down, and I’d sure want him to be, too.” It was a horse that was Dr. Cheney’s most difficult patient. It was shortly after he started in private practice in Bath Jan. 1, 1936, that he 656 was pushing a capsule down a horse’s neck when it pulled up its front foot and caught him square in the face. The veterinarian was knocked to the ground, unconscious, and his nose and jaw were fractured by the blow. Dr. Cheney is a native of Hopkinton in St. Lawrence County and attended high school at St. Regis, near Tupper Lake. He was in Army service in 1917 and 1918 and then entered Cornell University. He was graduated there in June, 1922, with his degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. He served with Dr. Walter Buck in Dansville for two months, went to Potsdam from 1923 through 1926, then was in Ogdensburg for three years serving as veterinarian and meat and milk inspector. When Dr. Cheney first came to Bath he was field veterinarian for the Borden Milk Co. in Steuben and nearby counties. Since the first day of 1936, he has “enjoyed a mixed practice with large and small animals” in the same location as at present, 126 West Washington Blvd. He has operated on animals of all sizes from cows that had coins, a jackknife (sic), nails or wire in their stomachs to a 34 pound chihauhau (sic) dog which had a caesarian operation for birth of its two pups. The owner was so happy with the results she named one of the pups for the doctor. Caesarian births are not uncommon among animals. His work averages 40 caesarian operations on pigs annually and 15 to 20 on cows. An increasing amount of Dr. Cheney’s work in recent years has been inspection for dairy firms and the state and village governments. He makes 250 dairy inspections for the Pollio Dairy of Campbell each year and about 100 for Dairymen’s League of Bath. Other testing includes 60,000 hens to determine possible presence of pullorum in breeders, blood testing and vaccination of cattle. He also is village milk inspector for Bath. Dr. Peter J. DePuy, formerly of Dansville, has been working with him in the past two years. “He has done a nice job for me, but he will be leaving July 1 to set up his own practice in Fairport,” Dr. Cheney said. Another assistant from the 1954 Cornell graduating class will join him soon. Although a busy man, Dr. Cheney doesn’t work all the time. “There is something I still like about the north country of the state even though Bath is very much our home, Every once in a while I break loose and go back up there to go fishing with my brother in the St. Lawrence,” he reported. Dr. and Mrs. Cheney have had two sons and a daughter. One of those sons, Robert, received his Bachelor of Science degree at Alfred University and is now in charge of the office work of the business. Although he’s been in the veterinarian business for 32 years now, he has no plans to retire. “I guess I’ll just keep on going as long as I can. I really enjoy the work too much to quit,” he declared.

He was a pioneer in the field of limnology, which is defined as “the scientific study of fresh waters, especially that of ponds and lakes.” He was director of the University’s biological field station and preserves at the head of Cayuga Lake and of Entomology Department studies of the marine life of the region, and was instrumental in procuring five wildlife preserves for the University. Several generations of Cornellians remember him for his interesting lectures in Freshman Biology. At one time, Professor Needham was one of only twelve Americans studying dragonflies of the continent, and of only twenty-five in the world. He discovered a new species, which was named after him, Libellula Needhami. The naturalist received the BS in 1891 and the MS in 1893 at Knox College. In 1896, he came to Cornell as Goldwin Smith Fellow in Zoology at the request of Professor John H. Comstock ’74. Professor Needham’s first book, Elementary Lessons in Zoology, written in 1895 while he was on the faculty of Jerseyville High School in Illinois, had so impressed Comstock that he wanted Needham to study with him. Later they collaborated in developing new interpretations of morphology (structure) of insect wings. This work was universally accepted by world biologists and greatly modified entomological proceedings. After nine years on the faculty of Lake Forest College in Illinois, Professor Needham returned to Cornell in 1907 as assistant professor of Limnology, the first to be so designated anywhere. At Professor Comstock’s retirement in 1914, Professor Needham succeeded him as head of the Entomology Department. He retired in 1936. Professor Needham was a member of the editorial board of Psyche, fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, past-president of the Limnological Society of America, honorary member of the Entomological Societies of America and China, and a member of Alpha Zeta and Phi Beta Kappa. In 1930, he was awarded the King Gold Medal for the best work on the fauna of China. Knox College bestowed on him the honor- 659 James George Needham, Emeritus Professor of Entomology, died on July 24, 1957. Throughout a long and busy life he served Cornell University as a great biologist and a productive scholar. Dr. Needham was born in Virginia, Illinois, on March 16, 1868. He attended public schools and Knox College, from which he received his B.S. and M.S. degrees. In later years, he was fond of telling about the good fun he had with other youngsters while attending a country school on the prairie. After graduating from Knox College, he taught there from 1894 to 1896. During this time he prepared and published a text, “Elementary Lessons in Zoology”. This was unique in its presentation of subject matter, and attracted the attention of Professor John Henry Comstock who invited him to come to Cornell to study with him as a Goldwin Smith Scholar. During this period he collaborated with Professor Comstock in establishing a new interpretation of the morphology of insect wing venation. This classical work became accepted by biologists throughout the world and did much to modify entomological procedures. From 1898 until 1907, Dr. Needham was professor of biology at Lake Forest University. For several summers while teaching there, he worked for the New York State Conservation Department in the Adirondack region, studying aquatic life as a means of maintaining and increasing the food supply of fresh water fishes. In 1907 he was invited to return to Cornell as assistant professor of limnology, to establish for the first time in any American university the subject of limnology as a field of instruction and research. Out of his effort grew the excellent program in limnology that attracted students from many parts of the world. Dr. Needham worked for years at the biological field station in the Renwick Marsh area at the head of Cayuga Lake, studying fresh water biology. In 1914, Professor Comstock retired as head of the Department of Entomology and with his recommendation, Professor Needham was appointed head of the department, a position he filled until his retirement in 1935. In 1909, Dean Liberty Hyde Bailey asked Professor Needham to give a course in biology. This course, with modifications, still exists in our college curriculum and has long served as an introduction to biology for students who are majoring in other areas of subject matter. His keen interest in the broader aspects of human biology enabled him to develop a course in the biology of the human species which received widespread acclaim from students in many colleges of the University. The course Many Chinese graduate students came to Cornell to was noted for his unique manner of presentation, for his study with him. Professor Needham’s life was a wonder- wholesome philosophy of life, and reflected the thinking ful example of devotion to his family, his students, and his of a great naturalist. He loved students and they responded work. His genial personality and friendliness endeared him with deep affection and respect. From all lands, they came to his associates and students at Cornell for more than half to Cornell to study with Dr. Needham and found him a a century of continuous association with the Department stimulating, sympathetic teacher, but also one who expect- of Entomology.

Professor Needham was so much at home with all of his friends in the plant and animal world that students sensed his inspiration and shared his enthusiasm for nature. With a twinkle in his eye, he would show students a parasite attached to a caterpillar and muse about bigger fleas have smaller fleas upon their backs to bite them! He could portray the living interrelationships of plants and animals in simple, understandable terms that students grasped. Among Professor Needham’s most distinguished research is his work with the aquatic insects—the stoneflies, caddis flies, damsel flies and dragonflies. To the damsel flies and dragon flies particularly, he gave much of his time in study of the biology and classification. His outstanding work A Manual of the Dragonflies of North America, revised in 1954 with a former student, Dr. M. J. Westfall, as co-author, was published by the University of California Press only a few years before his death. During his career Professor Needham published more than 250 scientific articles, educational papers, and textbooks. His writing was clear, concise, and interesting to read. His style was typically and uniquely his own. No tribute to the life and work of Professor Needham would be complete without mention of his poetry and philosophical writings. Some years ago friends and former students persuaded him to publish a collection of his poems. Often during his active years he invited groups to his home, and as they sat around the fireplace on a winter’s evening, he read from his poems, or perhaps an article about life on the frontier, or an “Uncle Remus” tale, with a buoyancy of spirit that reflected in the entire gathering. Always a staunch advocate of teaching biology where it existed—in nature, Professor Needham was instrumental in obtaining for Cornell University several of the biological preserves which presently are a great asset to all phases of the biological sciences. He was active in the Entomological Society of America, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Limnological Society of America of which he was a past president, and numerous other scientific societies. His teaching and research in China brought him widespread recognition. 660 Prof. Pertsch drowns Professor John G. Pertsch, Jr., ’09, of the School of Electrical Engineering, was drowned in Cayuga Lake, off Taughannock Point, about eleven miles from Ithaca, on August 23, when he attempted to rescue Miss Signe Sjoegren, formerly assistant medical advisor at Cornell. Stricken with cramps or a heart attack, Professor Pertsch sank before aid could reach him. When Miss Sjoegren was seen to be in difficulty in the water offshore, Professor Pertsch went to her rescue, holding her above water until other rescuers, including Harold Flack ’12, secretary of the Cornellian Council, reached them. As they started back to shore, Professor Pertsch, behind the others, sank. The body was recovered after a fifteen-minute search. Professor Pertsch had been a member of the Faculty since his graduation. He was a member of Sigma Xi, Phi Kappa Phi, Tau Beta Pi, and the American Society of Electrical Engineers. He is survived by Mrs. Pertsch and by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Pertsch, at whose home in Baltimore funeral services were held. From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 31, No. 1, 27 Sept 1928, p. 6. John George Pertsch Jr. 1887—August 23, 1928. Professor of Electrical Engineering. On 23 August 1928, Professor Pertsch saved from drowning a person struggling in the rough waters of Cayuga Lake. The effort proved too much for his strength, and he met his own death in a deed that was of a piece with his kindly, generous life. John George Pertsch Jr. was born in Baltimore in 1887. He received from Cornell University in 1909 the degree of Mechanical Engineer. On graduating he was made an assistant in his college, and by successive promotions came to a professorship of Electrical Engineering. His whole academic life was spent in Cornell. He was a contributor to the journals of his profession and was a member of many learned societies. In recording his death the Faculty wishes to bear witness to the fine qualities that made Professor Pertsch a valued and well-loved colleague. His students found him an admirably informed and wholly sympathetic teacher; few indeed of the teaching staff aroused a deeper response. His associates recognized in him a constant kindliness and fair-mindedness, a straightforward manliness, a thoroughness in dealing with his subject, a steady industry, that well explained his popularity. In his death the University loses a teacher and scholar difficult to replace, and very many members of the faculty lose a true friend.

Case Against Police To Be Heard Today. Falmouth Selectman to Sit on Editor’s Charge. Special Dispatch to the Globe. Falmouth, September 24—Falmouth Selectman will hold a public hearing tomorrow at 10 a m on charges preferred by Ware Cattell, a Woods Hole Summer resident, that Falmouth policemen have “exercise their powers in an arbitrary and unfair way; penalizing certain people and not others equally deserving of penalty.” Mr. Patel, whose home is in Harrison, NY, and who is editor of the Collecting Net, a publication devoted to marine biology, is son of J. McKeen Cattell, former Columbia University professor and distinguished scientist. His charges concerning the Falmouth police are the outcome of several brushes with officers over alleged traffic law violations. It all started when a policeman stopped Cattell while the latter was piloting his motorcycle with two passengers. Police said his operation was impeded. Cattell said it wasn’t and convinced Judge Frederick C. Swift that he was right. Later on police Chief Harold L. Baker recommended to Registrar Godwin that Cattell’s license to operate be suspended and this was done last week. Now the Woods Hole editor has preferred written charges against “certain policemen,” officer Ralph Erskine who hailed him into court being one of them. Chief Baker said: “Cattell has argued and disputed with every policeman whoever spoke to him all Summer he has shown flagrant disregard of traffic and parking regulations.” From: Daily Boston Globe, 25 Sept 1935, p. 8.

He Denies Laxity Charge. Says Real Reason Is Differences With Dr. Moulton on Worth of Manuscripts. Special to The New York Times. Washington, July 14—The American Association for the Advancement of Science has dismissed as editor of its The Scientific Monthly Ware Cattell, son of Dr. J. McKean Cattell, former owner and publisher of the magazine. He had been managing editor and editor for seventeen years. The action of the associa- Ware Cattell (Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 668 tion’s executive committee, which was confirmed without explanation or comment at its offices today, was taken at a meeting held July 10 on charges which Mr. Cattell denounced today as but “a reasonable front,” having “little or no basis in fact.” Notice of the action taken was received by Mr. Cattell Sunday night, in the form of a letter from Dr. Forrest R. Moulton, permanent secretary of the association, informing him that his resignation was demanded to become effective Monday, and telling him that in the event of failure to submit it, he was relieved of his duties as editor, “for cause,” as of that date. Had Asked Leave to Teach. The “cause,” as stated in the letter received by Mr. Cattel, included a rejected request for a leave of absence to teach physics from July 15 to December 31 at the University of Maryland and his alleged failure, on four counts, to discharge satisfactorily his duties as editor. Mr. Cattell, it was declared, had not devoted his full time to The Scientific Monthly, had not kept regular office hours, had failed to read and edit manuscripts submitted for publication, and had not properly conducted the magazine’s advertising department. Mr. Cattell said that he had accepted the denial of his request for leave of absence, and it could not therefore have been regarded as a cause for demanding his resignation, and that the other “reasons” given were equally baseless. “The actual prevailing reasons, as I believe them to be,” he said, “are these: “I objected to editing and proofreading arrangements. I objected to Dr. Moulton’s policy of rejecting manuscripts not upholding his views; he has wished to suppress those which do not. I objected to the over-emphasis on matters not concerned with the progress of science; in my opinion The Scientific Monthly now prints too many contributions in this field. And I objected to favoritism in the selection of articles; Dr. Moulton likes to print articles by his friends and old colleagues. Almost always they are wonderful people and distinguished men, but occasionally wonderful people and distinguished men write things which perhaps should not be published in The Scientific Monthly.” Charges “Outside Pressure” “And finally,” Mr. Cattell added, “I object to Dr. Moulton’s lack of independence.” Mr. Cattell said that “the last straw” in the move to seek his resignation or dismissal, occurred during preparation of the July issue of the magazine, in which he was “forced to print” an article which he regarded as misrepresenting a “medical matter paramount importance in the national emergency the article was identified by Mr. Cattell is one entitled “Quinine, the Story of Cinchona,” which was written by Norman Taylor, director of the Cinchona Products Institute of New York, and of which 200,000 reprints were ordered by the Institute for distribution to colleges and universities. Unless the executive committee rescinded its action, Mr. Cattell said, he would file suit for damages in the amount of $17,500, the amount of his salary for the unexpired period of his four year contract at $5,000 a year.

One day Moulton wrote to Cattell’s secretary that she was no longer to work for Cattell but was to begin working for him. The secretary left Cattell, but, after a fierce to-do by Cattell, was returned in a week or so. Momentum was being gained by the rumors as these sallies took place. Not long ago Cattell asked the executive committee for permission to take half-time off in order to teach physics at American University. He was denied this, he said, because Moulton had told everybody worth telling that he didn’t know which way the wind was blowing on full time, so what could he do on half time.

When the short comment about Clyde Mayer was sent to the Alumni News last month, we knew from Clyde himself that his illness was “in the terminal stage” and that treatments were no longer effective. He bravely faced the end of the road which came on Jan. 6. Our class has lost a good companion who shared his friendly spirit with all and who, in return, was, to my knowledge, never spoken of disparagingly. Clyde’s record on the Hill was exceptional. He was captain of both baseball and football teams, served on the principal campus committees, was elected to Sphinx Head, Tau Beta Pi, and Phi Kappa Phi, was president of Student Council, the Senior Class and the Alumni of 1921. He was born in Williamsport, Pa., and lived a good life there. His memory will remain warm in the hearts of his classmates and all others who were privileged to know him.

Romeyn Berry ’04 died unexpectedly, March 22, in Tompkins County Memorial Hospital. He had suffered a broken hip in a fall at his home, Stoneposts, in Jacksonville, March 5. Funeral was in Sage Chapel. Grandson of John Stanton Gould, professor of Agriculture at the University from 1869-74 and a member of the first Board of Trustees, the writer of “Now in My Time!” early acquired his interest in Cornell. His mother lived with her parents in Cascadilla Place when it and Morrill Hall were the only University buildings. Berry received the AB in 1904 and the LLB in 1906. He was a member of Beta Theta Pi, Sphinx Head, the Savage Club, Masque, and Phi Delta Phi. He played Freshman football in 1899 and became assistant manager of the Varsity track 670 Romeyn Berry, Graduate Manager of Athletics, Cornell ca. 1927 team and treasurer of the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America. He was editor of the Widow for two years (one with George Jean Nathan ’04 as business manager) and added Kenneth Roberts ’08 to the board. Berry wrote “The Big Red Team” and the first original show produced by Masque, “The President of Oolong.” With Roberts he wrote the Masque opera, “Panatela.” He practiced law in New York City from 1906-17, then after service as a first lieutenant in the US Army, returned to the University as Graduate Manager of Athletics. He was on the advisory committee of the IC4A, the American Olympic Committee, and the committee on rules of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. He was executive secretary- treasurer of both the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball and Baseball Leagues at the same time and earlier, president of the Baseball League. In New York, he was a representative of the Cornell Club of New York on the Athletic Council, a director of the Associate Alumni, and a member of the Alumni Committee on Athletics. While he was Graduate Manager, Hoy Field was completed and the Crescent was constructed. He was much in demand as a speaker, and is still remembered as the stentorian announcer of track meets in Barton Hall before there was a public address system. Berry resigned as Graduate Manager in 1936 and shortly moved to the farm at Jacksonville. His first writing for the Alumni News was a brief column, “Sport Stuff,” that ran from 1920-29.

Nicknamed “Rym,” Berry attended Cornell University, graduating in 1904 and earning a law degree in 1906. During his senior year, Berry was elected to the Sphinx Head Society and editor of the Cornell Widow with George Jean Nathan as business manager. In 1905, Berry composed the lyrics for the Cornell song The Big Red Team, thereby dubbing Cornell athletics “The Big Red.” From 1906 to 1919, Berry practiced law in New York City. During World War I, he served as a com. first lieutenant in the U.S. Army. Leaving his law practice, Berry became the Graduate Director of Cornell Athletics from 1919 to 1935.

Around 1936, he moved to a 65 acre farm known as “Stoneposts” in Jacksonville, New York, about 10 miles from Ithaca. His first wife was Olive Nutting, whose father, Captain Lee Nutting, had won the Medal of Honor in the Civil War. His second wife was Hester Bancroft who was a sculptor and painter. Wellknown among Cornell alumni for his wit, Berry contributed to the Cornell Alumni News, The Ithaca Journal, The New Yorker, The American Agriculturalist, and Cornell football game programs. He also authored Dirt Roads to Stoneposts (1949), Stoneposts in the Sunset (1950), and Behind the Ivy (1950). His pieces for the Ithaca Journal ran under the heading “State and Tioga” from 1931 to 1956 and reflected his gentle humor and wry observations about rural life and human nature.

In behalf of the Cornell Society of Engineers, Ellis L. Phillips ‘95 of New York, president of the Long Island Lighting Company, presented Professor Moler with the following illuminated vellum testimonial: “The Cornell Society of Engineers, mindful that this year, 1931, marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of engineering at Cornell, and the centenary of the discovery of electromagnetic induction, the Cornell Society of Engineers, with appreciation and esteem presents this testimonial to George S. Moler who, with Professor William A. Anthony at Cornell University in 1875 built the first dynamo in the Western Hemisphere. This marked the era of electric light and power which has contributed inestimably to the progress of civilization.” The dynamo was demonstrated at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876 where it excited great curiosity. Subsequently the invention was shown by Professor Moler at the World’s Fair in Chicago, at the Pan-American Exposition, and at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. “Not only did Professor Moler gain honor through his part in the construction of the dynamo but he is credited with being one of the first persons to make an x-ray picture in America.

Professor Tanner was born at Fort Plain, N. Y., on March 1, 1861.

O’Shea to Cornell, after preparing him for entrance to the University at its Free Academy, and it is proud, as it should be, of the fact. O’Shea came in and went out with the Class of ’92, taking with him upon his departure a degree from what Class Historian Nichols is wont to term “that glorious old extinct Letters course.” From 1892 to 1895 O’Shea was Professor of Psychology and Education in the State Normal School at Mankato, Minn., and from 1895 to 1897 occupied a chair at Teachers’ College, Buffalo, N. Y. In 1897 he accepted the Professorship of Education in the University of Wisconsin, which position he continues to hold. He has been prominently identified with educational reforms and with University Extension work and has lectured extensively on education and related topics throughout America, and in England and Scotland. 688 He was Chairman of the American Committee for the International Congress on Home Education, at Brussels, Belgium. O’Shea has published, among other works, Suggestions for the Observations and Study of Children, (1894); Aspects of Mental Economy, (1900); Education as Adjustment, (1903); Dynamic Factors in Education, (1906); Linguistic Development and Education, (1907); Every-day Problems in Teaching, (1912); Social Development and Education, (1915); Mental Development and Education, (1919); First Steps in Child Training, (1920); Faults of Childhood and Youth, (1920); The Trend of the Teens, (1920); Every-day Problems in Child Training, (1920); Tobacco and Mental Efficiency, (1923). He is the author— with Dr. J. H. Kellogg—of the Macmillan Health Series of six volumes, designed for the grammar grades. He collaborated with Dr. Cook and Miss Holbrook in preparing the Every-Day Spelling Series of four volumes. He has served as editor of various educational and home periodicals and is now editor-in-chief of the Junior Home Magazine. He is also editor-in-chief of The World Book Encyclopedia; The Macmillan Experimental Education Series; The Childhood and Youth Series; the Parent’s Library, and the Children’s Foundation Year Book. In 1894 our classmate was married to Harriet F. Easterbrooks, and they have four children. He was the organizer and first President of the Wisconsin Educational Club. In a State where even the politicians bow before its University, O’Shea holds a most important place. He has made the most of it by placing first things first.

He was the author of a number of books on education, and edited several volumes of the School and Home Classics, the World Book Encyclopaedia, the Experimental Education series, the Childhood and Youth Series, and the Parents’ Library. He was also editor of The Junior Home Magazine and The Nation’s Schools. He was a fellow of the A.A.A.S. and a member of many scientific and educational associations. He is survived by his wife and four children. From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 34, No. 17, 4 Feb 1932, p. 210. Eddie came from Brookton. Have you forgotten where Brookton was? Don’t you remember that long cold walk out East State Street at the time of one of those underclass affairs? And don’t you remember that high trestle bridge that was built across that pretty valley of Six-mile, where the little white cottages looked like doll houses from the bridge-end? One of those was the Shurter house. They call it Sweetacre now. E. D. Shurter was an Ithaca High School graduate, and when he entered Cornell a very efficient clique of Freshmen had him chosen to be Freshman Class President. But other Freshmen of ’92 were more impressed with the dignity of Walker and resented the Ithaca “dictation.” When the cheering was over and we came to know Shurter, we came to call him Eddie. Even Walker would unbend enough to admit that ’92 had the greatest possible Freshman President.

He says he is “now engaged in training Statesmen to take the place of politicians such as John Elliott, Duane Studley and Arthur Baldwin.” Are these three statesmen or politicians? And if politicians, when was Duane ever like Arthur? Good luck to you, Shurter.

Appointed in 1891 to an assistant professorship in law, Professor Finch was the first graduate of Cornell University to return as a member of the Faculty of the College of Law. He was promoted the following year to an associate professorship, and in 1895 to the full professorship which he held until his death. During the years 1896-1901 he acted as secretary of the Faculty of the College of Law, having full charge of the administrative work of the College during that time. Specializing in the law of real property—a branch of the law requiring the closest application for that comprehensive mastery which was his—his presentation of it in classroom and through his writings was clear and illuminating.

The funeral will be held here Tuesday. He leaves his widow and a daughter, Mrs. Lee D. Van Woert of this city. From: Schenectady Gazette (Schenectady, NY), Vol. 38, No. 232, 27 Jun 1932, p. 1. Obituary. J. Fremont Thompson. In the death of John Fremont Thompson which occurred at his home at Oneonta at about 10 o’clock Saturday evening, that city loses one of its most prominent citizens, Otsego county the senior member of the legal fraternity, and Cooperstown a distinguished friend. Mr. Thompson suffered a slight stroke of paralysis about three years ago, but the immediate cause of his death was a cerebral hemorrhage which he suffered at about 8 o’clock that morning and from which he never regained consciousness. Mr. Thompson was the son of the Hon. Jerome and Minerva Thompson and he was born at Candor, N. Y., August 22, 1856. He was educated at Cornell and Columbia, resided at Candor, Elmira and Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and established himself in the practice of law at Oneonta in 1895. Recently he retired from the active practice of his profession. With the cooperation of associates he organized and operated the Oneonta Telephone company which later was merged with the Bell system and among his outstanding achievements in a life of long and useful service to the city was the drafting of the charter under which that community assumed the functions of a city. His largeness of heart was manifested in many ways and especially in a keen interest in young men, many of whom in a quiet and unostentatious manner he assisted in securing an education while he helped many others who had taken one false step to rehabilitate themselves and to become useful and honored members of society. He adroitly often concealed the identity of the one assisting and there arc some who will never know that he was their benefactor and friend. Discussing his character the Oneonta Star of Monday said most truthfully: “Mr. Thompson was a close student of men and affairs and a wide and discriminating reader of the public press, which exceptionally fitted him as leader of the current events class of the Woman’s club. The ladies highly appreciated his devoted attention for years to the class, when not traveling or wintering in the south or west. In the old Fortnightly club he was deeply interested and his comments upon the subjects presented by the speakers were illuminating and always anticipated by the other members; Conspicuously a social man, a lover of his fellows, and actuated always by a desire to serve, his memory will long be cherished by all who knew him.” Mr. Thompson was a member of the First Presbyterian church of Oneonta, of which he was also a trustee, of Zeta Psi fraternity at Cornell University, of the board of directors of the Oneonta Country club, serving that institution especially efficiently as chairman of the house committee, and of the Otsego Bar association. He was marshal of the state court of claims for many years, gaining a wide circle of friends among the attorneys appearing before that court by his uniform courtesy and consideration. In November, 1887, Mr. Thompson was united in marriage with Miss Kate Lane, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Abner Lane of Cooperstown. Her death occurred in 1915 and two years later he married Miss Blanche House of Oneonta, who had been his devoted wife and companion for the years since. Surviving him, in addition to the widow, are one daughter, Ruth, wife of County Judge Lee D. VanWoert of Oneonta, and one sister, Mrs. Cora Farnham, widow of the late Dr. L. D. Farnham, late of Binghamton, she being now a resident of Westport, Conn. An older brother, Norman Thompson, was until his death, about six years ago, a prominent resident of Elmira. The funeral services were held from the First Presbyterian church at Oneonta on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock and burial was made at the family plot in Riverside cemetery in that city.

Walter Parker, Σ. Δ. Φ. Walter Parker was born December 16, 1852, to Joseph C. and Emily (Ward) Parker, at Barre, Vt., where his father was a farmer. In 1857 his father moved to Queechee, Vt., to engage in the manufacture of woolens. Parker was another Kimball Union Academy student, graduting in ’70, to go directly to Dartmouth. After leaving Dartmouth he returned to Queechee and started to master the mysteries of woolen manufacture and the secrets which contribute to financial success in that business in Vermont. Two years later his success justified his becoming a member of the firm of J. C. Parker & Co., with satisfaction to all the parties interested. Other facts related to his life are as profound secrets as those of the woolen business. It is known, however, that he has never married, and to the outside world he appears at peace with all men, including himself. W591 Daniel Willard Fiske Professor Willard Fiske. Sketch of His Life, Based on Remarks of Ambassador White. Daniel Willard Fiske, formerly professor of Northern European languages at Cornell University, died suddenly at Frankfort-on-theMain in Germany. As Professor Fiske took a leading part in developing the University Library, and during the early days was one of the University’s most famous and brilliant professors, it was deemed fitting to publish the following sketch of his life, drawn from various sources and especially from remarks made by former President Andrew D. White, who was one of Professor Fiske’s most intimate friends. During the past summer Mr. Fiske had been traveling in Italy, France, England and Sweden, but had recently returned to Switzerland and Germany. For many years he had been in poor health, and last spring when Dr. White visited Nice with him, he was seriously ill. Recent letters indicated that he was still suffering considerably, though there seemed to be no reason for expecting any immediate serious results. Professor Fiske was born in Ellisburg, N. Y., in 1831, and even as a boy, became noted for his brilliant ability. He entered Hamilton College, where his literary qualities attracted wide attention. While there, he formed many strong friendships, especially with Charles Dudley Warner and with Joseph R.

Cornell’s Well Known Historian and Professor Passes Away. On Friday, December 28, the sad news was announced that Professor Moses Coit Tyler had died about midnight of the night before. The news was not unexpected, for he had been at the point of death for several days. For about four weeks he had suffered with cystitis but his condition was not considered dangerous until about a week before his death. Mrs. Tyler, his daughter, Mrs. Jessica Tyler Austen, and his son-in-law, Willard B. Austen, were with him at the end. The only other member of his immediate family is his son Edward, of New York City, literary editor of the Literary Digest. Friday morning, the large bell in the Library tower tolled sixty-five, which was the number of the years of his life. The news of his death was commented widely upon by the press of the country and many tributes were paid to his memory by those conversant with the work he had done at Cornell and in the world of letters. The funeral, preceded by a short service at his late home on East Avenue, was held Sunday at 3 P. M., in Sage Chapel. Rev. S. H. Synnott, D.D., and Rev. Professor C. M. Tyler officiated. The pall bearers were Professors T. F. Crane, J. L. Morris, J. M. Hart, E. A. Fuertes, R. H. Thurston, G. L. Burr, and Messrs. S. D. Halliday and H. V. Bostwick. The faculty attended in a body, and the church was filled with friends. The interment was in Pleasant Grove cemetery, north of Forest Home. This spot was selected some years ago by Professor Tyler himself. Professor Tyler was born in Griswold, Connecticut, August 2, 1835 he graduated from Yale in 1857. After graduation, he studied theology in the Andover Theological Seminary and, in 1860, became pastor of the First Congregational church of Poughkeepsie, where he remained two years. The years 1863 to 1868 he spent in England engaged in literary work, many of his essays of that date, such as “American Reputations in England” being printed in the Nation. In 1867 he was called to the chair of English language and literature in the University of Michigan, where he remained until 1881. While there, he published several works, chief among them being his “History of American Literature during the Colonial Times,” in two volumes, a work which drew from the poet, Longfellow, congratulations on his having done the work so well that it would 722 Moses Coit Tyler never need to be done again. During the years 1873 and 1874 he was editor of the Christian Union, now the Outlook. In 1881 he was called to the chair of American History at Cornell, where he has since been senior professor in the school of history. He published a new “Life of Patrick Henry,” so superior to all predecessors as to supersede them entirely. It led to an invitation, in 1896, to address the Virginia Historical Society, which no Northern historian had previously been asked to do. In 1894, he published “Three Men of Letters,” monographs, biographical and critical, on Bishop Berkeley, Timothy Dwight, president of Yale, and Joel Barlow, the poet. His latest completed work is “The Literary History of the American Revolution.” At the time of his death, he was engaged upon a new work for Putnam’s. Professor Tyler was the first professor of American history in any college of the country. When he came to Cornell it was with the understanding that the subject of American history should be made a separate department. In all colleges at that time American history was taught as a part of European history. The other colleges and universities were not slow to follow in the lead of Cornell in the establishment of chairs of American history. Professor Tyler also laid special emphasis on the study of the local history of New York state. While in Ann Arbor, just before coming here, Professor Tyler was ordained deacon in the Protestant Episcopal church of St. Andrew, in that city; two years later, in St. John’s church, of Ithaca, he was ordained priest.

In an age of doubt and religious unrest he had the firm confidence of a certain faith,” and the inexpressible ‘comfort of a reasonable, religious, and holy hope.’” The death of Professor Moses Coit Tyler came as a sudden blow even to the friends at Ithaca who knew of his illness. Never had he seemed so well and happy as during the autumn months. Those who shared his rambles over the hills and valleys of the country he loved so well will never forget his buoyant spirits, his ceaseless flow of humor, his genial temper, and keen appreciation of Nature in all her varying aspects. In spite of his robust appearance and athletic habits—he was an accomplished horseman, a superb swimmer, a tireless pedestrian and wheelman— he was conscious of a constitutional weakness, which had shown itself in early life in nervous prostration. He knew that it was only by husbanding his nervous strength that he could perform well the arduous duties of his professorship, and complete 723 Moses Coit Tyler. Professor of American Constitutional History—Dec. 28, 1900. The special committee appointed at the last meeting to draft resolutions on the death of Professor Moses Coit Tyler reported the following resolution: “On Friday, the 28th of December, in the last week of the closing century, it pleased God to take from among us our revered colleague, Professor Moses Coit Tyler. To his family, to society, to scholarship and to literature, the loss is heavy. It falls with peculiar weight on this University and on its Faculty. For nearly twenty years his place among us was unique. He came to us, in 1881, ripe, not alone with the training of the scholar, but with a rare social and literary experience. To a wide acquaintance with men of letters on both sides of the sea he added freshly-won prestige of an epoch-making book. Thus from the first he brought to our deliberations and activities the dignity of a matured character and the poise of an assured eminence. In our debates we deferred to his broad knowledge of academic life and to his singular union of a wise conservatism with openness of mind. In the social circle we found him ever courtly of presence, genial of manner, austere of conviction yet buoyant of temper, fertile in thought and in anecdote, delicate in fancy, affluent and happy in diction bubbling with playful humor, yet wielding at need a trenchant irony. In daily life he proved himself a thoughtful neighbor, a tender and loyal friend, sensitive to his own rights but not less quick to recognize those of others. We were proud of what we learned of his work in the class room and in the study; yet, though he was our model in the rigor of his devotion to the tasks of his pen, we knew that he was not less scrupulous in the maintenance of the highest physical vigor, and those of us so happy as sometimes to share with him his walks or his rides knew, too, what a love of nature and of common life, what a boyish glee in out-of-doors, were his to the end. Above all, and at the heart of all, we felt him a man of reverence and of faith, broad yet earnest, tolerant yet devout ; and the graces of his personality drew their best charm from the deeper sanctities of his character. Such a man we do well to mourn.” From: Office of the Dean of the University Faculty, Faculty Records, 8 Feb 1901, p 141.

Nelson, 63, of Saddle River to the ground last week, fracturing his hip. Nelson, who had a metal plate in his hip from an earlier injury, later suffered an embolism and died Sunday at Hackensack University Medical Center, five days after the incident. At that point, the assault took on a new urgency, and investigators stepped up their search. “He would not have been in the hospital if it wasn’t because of this,” Deputy Police Chief Richard Cary said Wednesday. At the very least, the man who pushed Nelson will be charged with aggravated assault, Cary said. Whether those charges are upgraded depends on the results of an autopsy by the Bergen County medical examiner, the deputy chief said. Nelson was in his car as his gas tank was being filled at the No Name gas station on Forest Avenue, near the Bergen Mall, just before 7 p.m. Jan. 18, when a silver Toyota, possibly a Camry, backed into his car, Cary said. Without stopping, the man drove the Toyota to the other side of the gas pump and got out. Nelson got out of his car, approached the other motorist and demanded his driver’s license and registration, Cary said. But the man refused, insisting that the crash caused no damage, he said. When a fuming Nelson stormed to the back of the man’s car to write down his license-plate number, the driver pushed him down, Cary said. Detectives interviewed Nelson before he died, as well as the service station attendant and Nelson’s sister, who was in the car, Cary said. He described the hit-and-run driver as white, in his 50s, with dark hair, 5-foot-9-inches to 5-foot-10-inches tall and about 175 pounds. Cary said the man’s New Jersey license plate begins with the letters PSW. Cary said investigators believe the man may live in western New Jersey. Most license plates they have found with the same letters are from that area, the deputy chief said. From: The Record (Hackensack, NJ), 27 Jan 2005, p.

Charles Courter Dickinson ’91, one of the alumni members of the University Board of Trustees, died early on Tuesday morning, May 24, in St. Luke’s Hospital, New York, of pneumonia and kidney disease. According to a statement made by his brother, Stanton C. Dickinson, the immediate cause of his last illness was the inhaling of some deleterious gas while he was witnessing an experiment in a chemical laboratory at Scranton, Pa., an experiment performed in connection with an industrial project in which he had been invited to interest himself. He was not able to return to New York until the day after the experiment. On the Wednesday before his death he was taken to the hospital. Mr. Dickinson was born in Schoharie county, New York, on July 12, 1870. He prepared for college at the Cobleskill Academy, graduating at the age of fifteen, and won a State business last October, after his health had been impaired as a result of being thrown from his horse while riding in Central Park. In June, 1909, Mr. Dickinson was elected an alumni trustee of the University, receiving more than four thousand votes. He was a member of the Mayflower Society, Sons of the Revolution, Huguenot Society, Society of Colonial Wars, American Museum of Natural History, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Geographical Society, Botanical Gardens, Municipal Art League and the Manhattan, Lotos, New York, Cornell University, Democratic, Lawyers’ and Railroad Clubs.

I saved him a seat in Differential Calculus one December day. He couldn’t wake up in time to get to an 8 o’clock. Silverman, our prof, had three of those old slate blackboards covered with a proof. “Pop” came sneaking in on all fours and just as he was getting up at the seat I’d saved him, “Ah-ha, Mr. Sperry, perhaps you can do this,” said Silverman. “Sure, I guess so, what is it.” Silverman erased the boards, left the premise intact and handed Sperry the eraser and chalk. Pop went to the board, wrote down three lines. Put the eraser and chalk on the rail, dusted his hands, and said, “I think that does it.” Silverman looked at the board, then at Pop, then at us and then back at Pop. “Well, Mr. Sperry, I’ve never seen it done like that, but it’s right.” From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 72, No. 3, Oct 1969, pp. 3-4.

He had been in a hospital in Lordsburg only about two weeks ago after he had traveled there on official business. Marshall, a direct descendent of the celebrated U. S.

His parents moved from “the Old South” to New Mexico in 1885, settling at Deming, where the father was office manager for the Victorio Land & Cattle Co. He was senior district judge in New Mexico from the standpoint of continuous service. He was appointed in June, 1941, to the district judgeship by Gov. John Miles to fill the unexpired term of Judge George W. Hay, who had been killed in an auto accident in California. Marshall was elected to his first six-year term in 1942 and re-elected in 1948 and 1954. Besides his widow, he left a son, Tom, of San Francisco, and a daughter, Margaret, who was on her way home from Spain, where she had been studying art. Funeral arrangements are pending.

Robinson and Company, and until last winter vice president of United Engineers and Constructors, Inc., died suddenly of heart disease on January 8, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was sixty-one. Mr. McConnell was the builder of the second subway contract in Buenos Aires. Before the war he was chief engineer with Stone and Webster. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Grace Bowerman McConnell, and two sons, John W. McCon- nell ’27 and Charles E. McConnell ’29. The Passing of an Engineer [From the New York Herald-Tribune of January] The death of Ira W. McConnell in Buenos Aires removes a figure known to few of his home-keeping fellow countrymen beyond the engineering fraternity. Though he built the long Gunnison Tunnel in Colorado and the large Pathfinder Reservoir in Wyoming, he had the engineer’s dislike of publicity, and the sight of great waters diverted or impounded for the service of men was all he asked of fame. Like the Roman engineer who left his name on a single stone in the bridge of Alcantara, he was satisfied to leave the glory of his achievement to those for whom he worked. In South America, the field of his later activities, few Americans have been so well known or so honored. Not only were his consummate technical abilities recognized all along the east coast of the continent, but a rare personality that made him more than a highly skilled engineer won him the strong confidence of governments and laborers alike. For he was diplomat as well as engineer, and had an extraordinary facility for working with strange peoples without offending their susceptibilities. When he set up his camps in the drought-ridden lands of northeastern Brazil, which he was to turn into another Egypt by a series of cyclopean irrigation works, and sufficient workers railed to appear, he summoned the famous Padre Cicero, whose influence alone could move the minds of the people, throughout the dry country of the sertao. It was through the friendship and understanding which engineer and priest instinctively felt for each other that he was able to marshal the army of workers necessary for the vast enterprise. That it finally failed of fruition and left the desert country strewn with uncompleted dams was no reflection on the masterly hand of McConnell or the loyalty of his devoted associates, but was due to the exhaustion of the inadequate funds provided for the grandiose task by the Brazilian government. Ten years ago, as a diversion from his larger undertakings, he built the American Embassy building at Rio de Janeiro. The crowning achievement of his career was the completion last year of the Lacroze Subway in Bueno Ayres (sic) and when he died, a few days ago, it was in the harness as supervising director of the road which he had dug beneath the Argentine metropolis. This engineer, with the friendly twinkle in his shrewd eyes and the laugh that could disarm the suspicious reserve of high officials or the timid awe of a simple laborer, was in his way a more effective envoy of the best in his country than the generality of ambassadors hedged about by the formalities of protocol.

From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 52, No. 15, 1 May 1950, p. 396. Fred Asa Barnes June 17, 1876—April 5, 1950. Fred Asa Barnes, Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering, died on April 5, 1950 at Pleasant Valley, Connecticut, where he and Mrs. Barnes lived since leaving Ithaca in 1949. He was born in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, June 17, 1876, the son of Albert W. and Una M. (Thompson) Barnes. He graduated from Cornell University, obtaining the C. E. degree in 1897 and M. C. E. in 1898. He was married on April 15, 1903 to Bertha Lula Birdsall, who survives him together with one daughter, Mary Louise Hall also of Pleasant Valley, and two grandsons, Nicholas B. and Stephen M. Eddy, both of whom attended the School of Civil Engineering to which Professor Barnes devoted more the forty years of his life. Before entering his real life work of teaching Professor Barnes spent four years in a variety of engineering positions, first in the District Engineer’s Office at Washington, D. C, and later in Cuba, working successively for the Hydrographic Office at Santiago, for the Ponupo Mining Company, and for Hugh Reilly, consulting engineer. In September 1902 he was appointed an instructor in what was then the College of Civil Engineering, thus beginning a teaching and administrative career that continued until his retirement in 1944. He was promoted to the grade of assistant professor in 1905 and was made Professor of Railroad Engineering in 1915. When in 1920 the College of Civil Engineering became the School of Civil Engineering, Professor Barnes became the School’s first Director which position he held until 1930. Throughout his many years of service he played a prominent part in solving the educational and administrative problems of the College and School, being particularly interested in his own department of Railroad Engineering. He was responsible for the initiating and organizing of many new courses in the curriculum, including Railroad Operation and Management, Railroad Construction and Maintenance of Way, Costkeeping and Management, Engineering Construction, and Transportation. Professor Barnes was joint author with Professor C. L. Crandall of two textbooks, one on “Railroad Surveying” and another on “Railroad Construction”. He also wrote many articles dealing with the design, operation and management of railroads, and with other aspects of the transportation field. He was an enthusiastic and active member of numerous professional and honorary societies. The honorary societies included Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi, Phi Kappa Phi and Chi Epsilon; and his professional affiliations included life membership in the American Society of Civil Engineers, honorary membership in the Steuben Area Chapter of the New York State Society of Cornell University Faculty Memorial Statement Professional Engineers, and membership in the American Railway Engineering Association, the American Society for Engineering Education, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was particularly interested in the Ithaca Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and it was through his personal efforts that this local section was founded in 1932. He was one of the Section’s early presidents and his enthusiasm and wise counsel contributed in a large measure to its continued successful operation. One of Professor Barnes’ remarkable characteristics was his ability to remember the names and faces of Civil Engineering alumni. For many years he kept up to date a file of their addresses and occupations. It is probably true that no member of the faculty has ever done more to create and maintain a strong bond between the alumni group and the School of Civil Engineering and Cornell University. As a consequence few faculty members were ever more popular with returning alumni on their visits in Ithaca. Cornell alumni have lost a real friend, and the faculty a highly regarded colleague, in the passing of Professor Barnes. He will be kindly and gratefully remembered for his genial personality, his warm sympathy, his willingness to advise and help all who came to consult him, and his strong loyalty to the School and to the University. From: Office of the Dean of the University Faculty, Faculty Memorial Statement. Fred Asa Barnes W700 Henry Neely Ogden Ogden ’89 Dies Professor Henry N. Ogden ’89, Sanitary Engineering, Emeritus, died September 29, 1947, at his home, 416 Hanshaw Road, Ithaca. He was secretary of the Class of ’89. Born in 1868, the same year the Univer- 770 sity opened, he entered Civil Engineering from his native Henry Neely Ogden Maine in 1885, received the CE and was appointed an instructor in the College in 1889. (Of the University Faculty that year, only three members are still living: Emeritus Professors Liberty Hyde Bailey, first appointed in 1888; Ernest Merritt ’86 and Grant S. Hopkins ’89, both appointed in 1889). Ogden was named assistant professor in 1903, professor in 1908, and retired with emeritus rank in 1938. Professor Ogden was a practicing engineer as well as a teacher. He designed and supervised construction of Ithaca’s sewage works in 1893-94; on the Campus, the stone arch bridge over Cascadilla Gorge on Central Avenue remains a monument to his engineering skill. He was the author of four books on sanitary engineering and a member of Sigma Xi; served as engineer to the New York State Board of Health, 1906-13, and on the State’s Public Health Council since 1913. After the death of Professor Estevan A. Fuertes in 1903, he became head of the Department of Sanitary Engineering. In March, 1946, he wrote a biographical sketch of Fuertes for the Alumni News series on “Cornell’s Educational Pioneers.” His and Mrs. Ogden’s children are Mrs. Alfred C. Dalmas (Priscilla Ogden) ’20, Katharine Ogden, Grad ’20-12, (sic) John B. Ogden ’22, and William H. Ogden ’27. From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 50, No. 4, 15 Oct 1947, pp. 96-97. Henry Neely Ogden April 30, 1868 — September 29, 1947. Henry Neely Ogden was born on April 30, 1868 at Dexter, Maine, the son of the Rev. Charles Talcott Ogden, and a descendant of John Ogden an Englishman, who emigrated to Long Island in 1640 and who finally settled in Elizabethtown, New Jersey, in 1664. As a boy Henry Neely Ogden attended Episcopal Academy in 771 Philadelphia for two years, and Cheltenham Academy in Cheltenham, a suburb of Philadelphia, for five years. During these years he resided with an aunt, Miss Frances E. Bennett, principal of the Ogontz School, and had an opportunity of observing the daily life and problems and compensations of one engaged in teaching as a calling. At Cheltenham Academy he was awarded the Fold Medal for general scholastic excellence. In fact, when the time came for him to enter college his father and his mother would have preferred to have him prepare himself to enter the ministry, but while the idea appealed to him his interest in things mechanical and his diffidence about speaking in public at that time led him to matriculate in September 1885, in the College of Civil Engineering at Cornell University, from which he was graduated in June 1889 with the degree of Civil Engineer. From the time of his graduation in 1889 until the time of his death in 1947 his interest in Civil Engineering, particularly in the field of Sanitary Engineering and Public Health, and in the work of the Episcopal Church led him to undertake numerous and overlapping activities. In September 1889 he became an instructor in the College of Civil Engineering at Cornell University, remaining at such until June 1892. Having decided to obtain professional experience in Sanitary Engineering, he obtained employment with the Sanitary District of Chicago where, from June 1892 to June 1893, he gained experience as transitman, and in the office. From June 1893 to June 1894 he practiced engineering at Norfolk, Virginia, with J. E. Hill, under the firm name of Hill and Ogden. From June to October 1894 he was employed as City Engineer for the city of Deering, Maine. However, in October 1894 his interest in teaching as a vocation led him to return to Cornell University as an instructor and from that time until his death on September 29, 1947 he remained a member of the Civil Engineering Faculty at Cornell, serving as Asst. Professor from 1898 to 1908; as Professor from July 1, 1908 to July 1, 1938; and as Professor Emeritus from July 1, 1938 to the time of his death. During his period of service as a member of the Civil Engineering Faculty he availed himself of sabbatic leaves on three occasions: February to June in 1906 and in 1914, and from September 1925 to February 1926. Concurrently with his return to Cornell as an instructor in 1894 he began actively to engage in Sanitary and Public Health Engineering, and in the work of the Episcopal Church. From 1895 until the time of his death he was employed in numerous engineering and other activities, in addition to his teaching duties. As an engineer and a consultant he served the cities of Ithaca, N. Y.; Akron, Ohio; Binghamton, N. Y.; Grove City, Pa.; Sandpoint, Idaho; Groton, N. Y.; Richmond, Indiana; the New York State Health Department; the public Health Council of the State of New York; and the Government of Cuba. As an author, in addition to numer- ous articles of a technical character, he wrote three books: with the association of engineers with municipal officials, “Sewer Design” in 1899, “Sewer Construction” in 1908, and in another course involving the use of the writ- “Rural Hygiene” in 1913, and was a joint author with H. ten word and called “Technical Reports”; made him an B.

Designed and constructed in the basement of Judd Hall from 1892 to 1896 with important help from Edward Rosa, Atwater’s colleague in physics, and Olin S.

Lauby’s Cornell Recollections. Henry Feehan. In his 46 years as stockroom clerk of the Chemistry Department, Henry Feehan achieved a unique place in the memories and affections of faculty, students and alumni. Born in County Lough, Ireland, in 1856, Henry came to the United States when he was 24 and joined the Chemistry Department in 1882. This was only four years after instruction in chemistry was initiated at Cornell and the budding Department was located in a temporary wooden building where Goldwin Smith Hall is situated now. So Henry was contemporary with Ezra Cornell, Andrew D. White and the original chemical faculty (see the picture in the March 1969 Newsletter). As new quarters for chemistry appeared, Henry moved his stockroom to Franklin Hall, then to Morse Hall and finally to Baker Laboratory. He retired in 1934 and died in 1936. Several generations of faculty and many, many generations of students visited his stockroom window and came to know this wiry, slightly built, genial man, and appreciate the twinkle in his eyes and dry wit, and to look forward to his stories about early Cornell told in a rich Irish brogue. His friendliness and strong loyalty to the Department made it a better place. I first visited his window in the fire-scarred remains of old Morse Hall as a bewildered freshman in 1917. When the move to the spanking new Baker Laboratory was made in 1923, I returned to start graduate work just in time to help Henry move. He introduced me to the catacombs under Morse Hall where dusty shelves held all manner of intriguing chemical ware: retorts, wicker covered demijohns, gas fired tube furnaces, Kipp gas generators, and even a few alembics. (Yes, most of this was junked.) Since real interest in conserving his chemical stores. When a graduate student came for supplies, Henry would peer at him skeptically over his glasses and say “What does yez want it for? Yez don’t need that much.” The friends Henry made at Cornell always looked forward to seeing him again. “Dusty” Rhodes tells of a party, staged by Cornell alumni at a meeting of the American Chemical Society at Washington, D. C., to honor Henry shortly after he retired. When Henry arrived, the committee told him the city was his and he could go any place and see anything he wished. Henry allowed as how he would like to visit the Chinese Ambassador. Quite dumbfounded, the committee took Henry to the Embassy but were told firmly by the staff that the Ambassador was very busy and not available. Then Henry took over, telling the secretary to inform the Ambassador that Henry Feehan wanted to see him. Almost immediately, the Ambassador (Dr. Alfred Sze) came out, greeted Henry by name, shook hands, drew him to a divan and chatted with him for ten minutes. Dr. Sze, when a student at Cornell, had lived in Henry’s home. The Ambassador regretted he could spend no more time with Henry but he placed an Embassy limousine and chauffeur at Henry’s disposal for his stay. So Henry and his friends travelled in style and enjoyed great courtesy from the police. Sturdy, thrifty, and hard-working, Henry put his five children through college although his salary was always very small. He was always grateful for the opportunities available in his adopted country. I often wonder, in these uneasy, socialized days, what Henry’s reaction would be? Any of you have other stories about Henry? A. W. Laubengayer.

He was particularly successful in gaining and holding the attention of large lecture groups and was much in demand for popular science lectures throughout the state. Many science students were first attracted to the field by his interesting talks. As a graduate student at Cornell under the direction of Professor L. M. Dennis, he became interested in the compounds of nitrogen and hydrogen and subsequently, as a member of the faculty, he made this field his primary research interest. In nearly 100 scientific papers published in American and European journals he made substantial contributions to the understanding of this area of inorganic chemistry. As an expert on the hydronitrogen compounds, he was called during World War I to act as consultant for Army Ordnance on the use of the azides of the heavy metals as detonators. His phase rule studies of ammonia systems constituted one of the first systematic applications of phase rule theory and contributed much of fundamental importance. He worked on the oxidation of hydrazine by monoand di-deelectronators, nitridation reactions, solvation and solvolysis in liquid ammonia systems, and perchlorides and chlorinates. He discovered azido-dithiocarbonic acid and made a thorough study of its properties and derivatives. An expert glass blower, he 786 Emile Monnin Chamot. March 4, 1868—July 27, 1950. Emile Monnin Chamot was born in Buffalo, and attended the public schools of that city. He received the degree of Bachelor of Science in 1891 and the doctorate in chemistry in 1897, both from Cornell University. The following year was spent in Europe, studying at the Universities of Nancy and Delft. During his period of service at Cornell Chamot gave instruction in various branches of chemistry specializing in toxicology and sanitary chemistry, and later also in chemical microscopy. He was largely responsible for introducing the latter field to American chemists, by many lectures before scientific and technical societies, and by his pioneer book “Elementary Chemical Microscopy”, published in 1915 and succeeded in 1928 by the “Handbook of Chemical Microscopy”. During World War I he carried on extensive studies of small arms ammunition for the Ordnance Department, and was a consultant on explosives during World War II. In 1924-25 Chamot was appointed an exchange professor in chemical microscopy, visiting a score or more of French Universities, a representative of seven American Universities. In 1937 he was awarded the Longstreth Medal of the Franklin Institute, “for meritorious work in chemical microscopy”.

From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 84, No. 1, Jul 1981, p. 46. Melvin L. Nichols. November 30, 1894 — March 29, 1981. Melvin L. “Pete” Nichols, emeritus professor of chemistry, who died March 29, 1981, at the age of eighty-six, enjoyed a career that almost perfectly characterizes a true-blue Cornellian. He was, in fact, a member of that very small group of our faculty that had been personally acquainted with every Cornell president. As Melvin Nichols, he left his home town of Dayton, Ohio, in 1914 to enter Cornell as a freshman. He remained in Ithaca, known to his many friends as Pete, until 1978, when, in failing health, he moved to California to be close to his only daughter, Sally. newcomers to Cornell first learned of this marriage, they were prone to mutter something about “marrying the boss’s daughter,” and were chagrined to learn that the true situation had been almost the exact opposite. Nichols was a coworker and protégé of the other strong-willed Cornell chemist of the time, L. M. Dennis, and Dennis and Bancroft had a long-established and well developed dislike of each other. Hence, to Dennis, a Nichols involvement with a Bancroft was akin to joining up with the enemy. It is a tribute to his tact and his persistence that Pete Nichols rode out the storm and kept his Cornell position. Mary Nichols died suddenly in 1967, and Pete Nichols lived on alone in Ithaca, actively involved with his wide circle of friends. He will be missed by his Ithaca friends and colleagues as well as by the hundreds of Cornell students that he taught.. From: Office of the Dean of the University Faculty, Faculty Memorial Statement. After receiving his Bachelor of Chemistry degree in 1918, he was appointed an instructor in chemistry at Cornell and simultaneously embarked on a graduate study program under Professor Orndorf, majoring in organic chemistry. He was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1922 and was promptly appointed assistant professor in chemistry. W738 Walter Scott Holzberger Alumni Deaths. ’21 BChem—Walter S.

Romeyn Beck Hough (1857–1924) was an American physician and botanist best known for creating The American Woods, a 14-volume collection of wood samples from across North America. Life and work Hough acquired an interest in forestry and natural history from his father, Franklin B. Hough, a physician and botanist, who spent much time with his son in the outdoors. He attended Cornell University in Ithaca, New York and studied medicine, later qualifying as a physician like his father. His passion however, was for botany. Hough developed a specialized veneer cutter capable of slicing wood to a thickness of 1/1200 inch. He started a business cutting and printing flexible, translucent wooden cards “for all fancy and business purposes”, and also sold magic lantern and microscope slides made from the thinnest transverse sections. After seeing German botanist Herman von Nördlinger‘s volumes of European tree cross-sections, Hough was in- W766-W767 Romeyn Beck Hough Obituary. Romeyn B.

He was engaged in writing fifteen volumes on natural history and had completed thirteen. Overwork is believed to have hastened his death. He was born in Albany, N. Y., on March 30, 1857, the son of Franklin B. and Mariah Kilham Hough. Later his family moved to Lowville and after getting his early education in Lowville Academy, he entered Cornell in 1876 and was graduated in 1881 with the degree of A. B. He was a member of the Curtis Literary Society. He invented a process of making and preparing sections of wood, be to used in lieu of pictures for illustrating the various species in a publication on American woods and was awarded grand prizes for them at the international expositions in Paris, Chicago, Buffalo, St. Louis, Seattle, and San Francisco.

A final, fourteenth volume was published in 1928 using samples and notes made by Hough that were compiled by his daughter, Marjorie Galloway Hough. In total, each volume contained at least 25 plates and the complete 14-volume collection comprises 1,056 slices representing 354 tree species. Hough’s botanical work was widely acclaimed in his time. In 1908 he won the Elliott Cresson Gold Medal for his contribution to the understanding and uses of American woods, and American Woods won the top prizes at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris, the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, and the 1909 Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition in Seattle. Reviews of American Woods described it as “one of the most valuable contributions to the literature of forestry” and “absolutely without rival”. In 2002, it was republished by Taschen under the title The Woodbook, compiled by Klaus Ulrich Leistikow including a selection of lithographs of some trees’ leaves and berries by Charles Sprague Sargent. For antiquarian booksellers American Woods is “one of the most sought-after sets of the 20th century”. In 2000 art auction house Christie’s sold a complete set for $92,100.

He was ninety-four years old. He had been a friend, adviser, and helper of the University during a full half-century, giving service which was valued until the very end of his life, for he lost none of his mental vigor in his old age. He was elected to the Board by the alumni in 1876, and when his term expired in 1881 he was re-elected by the Board itself and was continued in office every five years until last June, when he was returned for another five-year term. He was the eldest member of the committee on finance when the standing committees of the Board were reorganized last year. Although he was engaged in trade and banking from his eighteenth year Mr. Lord was a student throughout his life. His scholarship was such as to gain him the respect and fellowship of the scholars who were his neighbors. The first service which Mr. Lord rendered Cornell University was given in 1865. He was the member of Assembly from Tompkins County in that year, when the bill to charter the University and give it the state’s portion of the educational land grant was pending, and he was an active ally of Senators Ezra Cornell and Andrew D. White in advocating that bill. He had charge of it in the Assembly. President White has written in his Autobiography: “The Cornell bill was advocated most earnestly in the House by Mr. Henry B. Lord: in W767 Madeleine Sylvester Thompson Library Schools and Classes, New York State library school. Madeleine S.

Eldest Son of Ezra Cornell Passes Away at His Home in Ithaca. Alonzo B. Cornell, former governor of New York State, and for many years an honored member of the University Board of Trustees, died Saturday, October 15th, at his residence in Ithaca, after a lingering illness. Following a stroke of paralysis several months ago, Governor Cornell rallied for a brief period, then began sinking, and for almost a month his family had despaired of his recovery. The deceased was 72 years of age, and was the eldest son of Ezra Cornell, founder of Cornell University. He was born in Ithaca January 22, 1832, and was educated at the old Ithaca academy, now the high school. By reason of his father’s association with Professor Samuel F. B. Morse, the young man early began the study of telegraphy, and after several years spent in the employ of the Western Union Telegraph Company became its general manager. Later he succeeded to the position of senior vice-president and for a time was acting president of the corporation. His public career began with his election as supervisor in 1864, and during the twenty years that followed, Mr. Cornell was a prominent figure in public life.

Charles McKnight of St. John’s Episcopal church read the impressive burial service over the remains of the deceased. He was assisted by Professor Charles Mellen Tyler, who spoke briefly concerning the forceful life of the deceased and drew a lesson from the last words of Governor Cornell and the simple faith in which he died. The honorary pall bearers present were former President Andrew D. White, President J. G. Schurman, George R. Williams, Charles S. Francis, Dean T. F. Crane, Mynderse Van Cleef, E. C. Stewart, R. H.

After the adjournment of the Senate in July 1878, Hayes suspended both the collector (Chester A. Arthur) and the naval offi- cer, and their successors were finally confirmed. At the sub- sequent elections, Cornell was chosen Governor of New York and Arthur became Vice President of the United States. Cornell was governor from 1880 to 1882, elected in 1879. His administration was noted for economy in public expenditures, and his vetoes of appropriation bills were beyond all precedent. Upon his recommendation, a state board of health and the state railroad commission were created, women were made eligible for school officers, a reformatory for women established, and the usury laws were modified. The resignation of the New York senators from the U. S. Senate in 1881 provoked a bitter contest for the succession, by which the Republican Party was divided into hostile factions, the Stalwarts and the Half Breeds. Cornell’s opponents prevented his re-nomination for governor. Death and legacy.

Friday, November 16, 1957, in Good Samaritan Hospital, Dayton. He had been in failing health for several years but remained active in real estate development until recent months. Dunlap entered the practice of law in Greenfield in 1892, and retired from active practice in 1946. He won considerable prominence by his conduct of an inheritance suit on behalf of Elizabeth Ann McCafferty against the estate of her uncle, Edward Lee McClain, in the late 1930’s. The prolonged litigation, which was carried to the Ohio Supreme Court, resulted in a settlement reported to be in excess of $3,000,000 for his client. Since curtailing his activity in the law, he had devoted much of his time to developing his subdivision properties just northwest of Greenfield. He was born in Greenfield Oct. 10, 1869, a son of William K. and Mary J. Irwin Dunlap. He was married to Miss Nelle James on Nov. 18,1903. She died in 1946. He also was predeceased by a son, Lowell Dunlap, who died Jan. 9, 1939, and a sister, Elizabeth, who died in 1913. He is survived by a daughter, Miss Madelaine Dunlap, of Dayton and a brother, Walter H. Dunlap, of Greenfield. He attended the Greenfield schools and at the age of 17, matriculated at Wooster College, later graduating from Cornell University and the Cincinnati College of Law. He entered 807 Obituary. W. R. Dudley ’74. William Russell Dudley, B. S. ’74, M. S. ’76, emeritus professor of botany in Leland Stanford Junior University, and formerly for many years a member of the Cornell faculty, died at Stanford University on June 4. He had been in poor health for several years and he retired from active teaching a few months ago. Professor Dudley was born in Guilford, Conn., on March 1, 1849. He entered Cornell University in 1870, taking the course in science. A pupil of Agassiz while here, he caught the enthusiasm for the study of natural history which that teacher brought to Cornell. He studied in the Agassiz School at Penikese Island during the summer after his graduation in 1874. While continuing his studies here as a candidate for the master’s degree in science, he served as instructor in botany. In 1876 he was appointed assistant professor of botany and in 1883 assistant professor in charge of cryptogamic botany. In 1887-8 he spent a sabbatic year in study at Strassburg and Berlin. He remained at Cornell until 1892, when he accepted a call from President Jordan, then organizing the faculty of Stanford University, to take charge of the department of botany in the new institution. He taught at Stanford until the middle of the present college year, when he retired from active work in the hope of regaining his health, which had been weakened by a, severe illness. Professor Dudley was the author of “The Cayuga Flora,” “Lackawanna and Wyoming Flora,” and (with Professor M. B. Thomas) “Manual of Histology.” He was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, vice-president of the California section of the American Forestry Association, and secretary of the California Redwood Park Association. He was associate editor of the Bulletin of the Sierra Club. An appreciation of Professor Dudley’s work at Stanford was published in The Stanford Alumnus for February and reprinted in the Alumni News for March 8. It spoke especially of his interest in forest preservation. During the summer vacations the pursuit of his botanical studies took him into the mountains and forested areas of California, where he was impressed by the constant waste of forest resources. He became one of the pioneers in the movement toward conservation, and rendered valuable services to the state and the nation through suggestions and advice to the Forest Service and other authorities. The establishment of the California Redwood Park, a tract of forested land set aside by the state for the purpose of preserving a forest of the coast redwood in its primitive conditions, was accomplished largely through his efforts. He was secretary of the first Park Commission. He also labored for the establishment of courses in forestry at Stanford, and this project was in a fair way to success when the earthquake of April 18, 1906, brought serious financial embarrassment to the university and, prevented the realization of his plans. Soon afterward he contracted a serious illness which left him physically weakened. From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 13, No. 36, 14 Jun 1911, p. 430. William Russel Dudley (March 1, 1849 – June 4, 1911) was an American botanist. He headed the botany depart- ment at Stanford University from 1892 to 1911. His collection built at Stanford is considered to be one of the most important contributions to knowledge of the flora of California. This became the nucleus of what is now known as the Dudley Herbarium. He was born in Guil- ford, Connecticut. He grew up on a farm, where he de- veloped an interest in plants. He became a student at the new Cornell University in 1870, graduating in 1874, and paying his way by milking cows at the university’s farm. His college roommate, David Starr Jordan (who later wrote an obituary for him in the journal Science), wrote of his demeanor, saying that Dudley was “a tall, well-built, handsome and refined young man, older and more mature than most freshmen, and with more serious and definite purposes.” He studied natural history under Louis Agassiz on Penikese Island in 1875, and in the Harvard Summer School in 1876. In 1873 he became instructor of botany at Cornell, and in 1884 assistant professor of cryptogamic botany, and also professor of botany in the Martha’s Vineyard summer institute during its sessions in 1878–79. He was appointed botanical collector for the university, received his master’s degree in 1876, and was promoted to assistant professor of botany. In 1892 he took a position as head of the Stanford department of systematic botany. His important published works include The Cayuga Flora (1886), A Catalogue of the Flowering Plants and Vascular Cryptograms found in and near Lackawanna and Wyo- ming (1892), The Genus Phyllospadix, and Vitality of the 808 Sequoia gigantea. Sarcoscypha dudleyi He was an early forest preservationist, often consulting for US forester Gifford Pinchot, regarding developing national forests in California. He became an activist in the Sempervirens Club, devoted to protecting the coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), and was key to establishment of what is now Big Basin Redwoods State Park in the Santa Cruz Mountains. In 1901 the California Legislature passed an enabling act whereby 3,800 acres (1,500 ha) of land were purchased by the state in the next year to preserve the coastal redwood forest throughout the Santa Cruz Foothills area. Dudley was one of four men appointed to the first state board of commissioners. Big Basin Redwoods State Park was established in 1902, the first of many in that state created since then. Dudley contracted an illness while studying trees in Persia. He contracted a severe cold or bronchitis in Egypt, and later died of tuberculosis in 1911, in Los Altos, CA. In 1913, Stanford University published a “Dudley Memorial Volume” containing a paper by the then late Professor and appreciations, and contributions by friends and colleagues.

Bowler of 68 Rue Fron Fort., Port au Prince, Haiti. (See below.) He attended the Polytechnic College in Port au Prince before coming to Cornell for the 1869-70 academic year, taking the optional or elective course. He was a member of two literary societies during 1869-70: Irving and Adelphi. He was enumerated in the 1870 US Population Census for Ithaca, NY, and was listed as “white.” The other student from Port au Prince, Haiti who attended Cornell during the same year and left at the same time as Bowler was Arthur Bird, Class of 1873. Bird was the son of Mark Baker Bird, an English clergyman and missionary, who lived and worked in Haiti. Mark Bird authored a book entitled The Black Man; or, Haytian Independence that argued for Haitians to be free and self-governing. A copy of this work is in the Cornell collection, and was inscribed as follows: “Ezra Cornell Aug 19, 1869 Paid W Bird son of the Auther two dollars for this Book. The son intending to enter as a student of Cornell University. I purchased the book to aid him without examination on a case as it merits– EC.” (See right.) Mark Baker Bird’s approach to encourage social progress in Haiti was described in: Mark Baker Bird and His Early Defense of Haiti, by Joseph A. Boromé, October 1970, in Bulletin of the New York Public Library. (Cornell University Library Z881 N6 B93) and is quoted as follows: “Having pondered the possible methods of training the young, Bird opted for first influencing the children of the ruling class and then, eventu- Above: Inscription by Ezra Cornell on the front paper of The Black Man; or, Haytain Independence, by M.

Arthur Bird ’73, who was one of the oldest newspaper men in the country, died February 26 at his home in Sidney. He had suffered a stroke of apoplexy on that he did. If so, he was the first Cornell student of African descent. Information concerning Bowler’s potential genealogy is detailed below. December 10 and another four days before his death. His parents were English missionaries in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and he was born there, entering the University in the Natural Science Course in 1869 and remaining one year. A statement made by Ezra Cornell in a University assembly which he attended that “now we have a foreign student enrolled, we can rightfully lay claim to being a college,” Bird took to mean that he was the first foreign student ever to enroll. In the first year, however, according to the Register, the University had three students from 837 Right: records retrieved for the surname “Bowler” from the Association de Généalogie d’Haiti’s web site, which features access to records transcribed from the Archives Nationales d’Haiti.

Breed is captioned “Tallest and Shortest in Class 79 Cornell” Breed entered Cornell as a member of the Class of 1878: The Freshman Class. The entering class this fall is somewhat smaller than usual. The evil disposed consider this a result of coeducation; but we are inclined to regard it as the result of additional requirements for admission—nearly fifty candidates having been rejected. Although few in numbers ’78 seems to possess good material and we hope every member has come with the intention of taking a complete four years’ course. We congratulate the class on their good appearance and comparative freedom from what is known in all colleges as the “rowdy element.” Knowing by experience how desirous Freshmen are of learning some thing of their classmates before the appearance of the Register, we have obtained for their especial benefit the following list: …Breed, W B, Optional, Phoenix, N Y.

He attended the Phoenix high school and entered Cornell with the class of ’81. He was a hard student and a prominent man in college and was a member of the Chi Phi fraternity. After finishing his college course, Mr. Breed took a course in the college of medicine at Syracuse. After graduation from this institution he settled clown to practice at Syracuse and rapidly rose to a high position in his profession.

At half past seven or thereabouts, From: The Cornell Daily Sun, Vol. 2, No. 140, 22 May 1882, pp. 1-2. the party sighted Aurora, and soon made known their advent by a series of Cornell yells which might have waked the dead, if noise could do it. As soon as the pier was reached, the students, led by the band, marched in double file through the village, and headed for Wells College, which seemed to be the great point of attraction. Surely, our approach must have been heralded, for the balconies and windows were lined with pretty faces. Arriving here, the students arranged themselves in line, and, with hats off and upturned faces, stood quietly by while the band played. Turning back to the hotel, it was found that the committee in charge had made excellent arrangements, and that a fine banquet awaited the hungry excursionists. The menu was complete and, in quality, pronounced “unsurpassable” by all who partook. After supper the toast master, Bering, took charge of the ceremonies with an appropriate speech. The first toast, on “The Excursion,” was omitted owing to the absence of Mr. Overton. To the “toast on ’82,” McClelland, ’82, responded in a speech which showed that he thoroughly appreciated the greatness of his class; “’83,” was responded to by Mr. Avery, ’83. The other toasts were responded to as follows: “Cremation,” by R. H. Ware; “The Girls of Wells,” by Bacon, ’82; “The Club,” by Randolph; “Behind the Bars,” by Lewis; “The Unexpected Vacation,” by W. Hamilton; “The Absent Ones—’85,” DeForest; “Plugs,” by Cassedy, and “Our Sophomore Year,” by President Weed. At twelve the party boarded the steamboat and started for Ithaca. 856 Last Friday night the Freshmen had an excursion down the lake. The Sophomores were angry at the innocents for usurping a Sophomoric privilege. They tried to break it up and went at it in so quiet and so foxy a manner that long before the day of the excursion every student in the University, Freshmen included, knew every scheme evolved by the wily ones for the breaking up of the trip. Mr. Sophomore told all his society friends, (Freshmen excluded, of course) and requested them to keep very “mum” about it. The plot began to thicken when, at one o’clock at night a band of bloodthirsty K. K. K’s awoke the whole town in their efforts to put through scheme No. 1. Sundry kegs were filled with aqueous fluid, to be substituted for a fluid not so aqueous, and intended to make the excursion slip along smoothly. The project failed because some deck hands would prefer to keep an all summer job to selling out for enough to keep them for a week. Strange to say the captain and engineer would not sell out at all, probably waiting for a raise of a dollar or two apiece on the price offered. To make a long story short every plot failed much to the chagrin of the Sophomores, and to the delight of the Freshmen. A lack of savoir faire, as Mrs. Florence would say, made the Sophomores the laughing stock of the University. But now comes the disagreeable part of the affair. Full of resentment for their failure, the Sophomores ran their tug boat near the excursionists and threw rotten eggs among the crowd in which there were many upper classmen This act was unworthy any college student and is not upheld by any of the cooler minded among the Sophomores, to say nothing of the indignation felt by members of the other classes. Even Sophomores should remember that there is a certain boundary to actions beyond which they assume the nature of indecency. From: The Cornell Era, Vol. 15, No. 28, 25 May 1883, pp. 291-292. Freshman Excursion And Cremation. Eighty-six deserves the credit of having conceived and carried out a scheme which has been found to be eminently happy in the entire success it had and in the good time it afforded. When it was first mentioned that Eighty-six was to have an excursion and cremation it was natural that failure should be predicted, for the idea was new and untried, and there was supposed to be a formidable competition in the excursion business. But from the time the neat invitations were issued to the moment of starting there was plenty of evidence even to the casual observer that the management was in the hands of men who would make failure impossible. On Friday, the 18th inst., at 6:15 p. m., the steamer Frontenac left the landing at Ithaca with about ninety students on board, the majority of whom were Freshmen. They were accompanied by Uncle Josh and the Fiftieth Regiment Band. The weather was favor- able enough to satisfy the most hopeful Freshman. The air was warm and a clear sky promised a good moon for the return trip. The ride to Aurroa [sic] occupied about two hours and a half, this time being filled by various amusements, such as dancing, singing, and romping in general When waltzing and gig dancing became tiresome, “walkarounds” afforded amusement, especially those in which “Uncle Josh” headed the line. In the midst of this vigorous exercise it was noticed there was a good deal of running to and from the forward part of the boat. The attraction there was found to be a large man with sleeves rolled up and with brow perspiring under his efforts to supply the boys with a refreshing beverage. The Cornell slogan and the class yells of ’86, ’83 and ’84 were freely given until some howled themselves hoarse. Those of a more quiet turn of mind found enjoyment in the pretty scenery and in one of those beautiful sunsets for which Cayuga Lake is famous. Aurora was reached in great éclat amid fireworks from the boat, a cannon salute by the Military Academy, numerous Cornell yells and music by the band. The excursionists were met at the landing by the cadets of the Cayuga Lake Military Academy, who kindly offered to escort them through the town. At the same time a telegram was handed to President Alexander which conveyed the information that the Sophomores had started from Ithaca with the intention of breaking up the supper. A few minutes were now occupied in forming the procession and in costuming the Freshmen in their funeral habits. Robes de null, with black skull and cross bones on the back, and black masks were the most common 857 costumes, the officers of the cremation having appropriate robes and hats. The procession, consisting of the Military Academy cadets, the band, the Freshmen in costume, followed by the remaining excursionists, moved on to Wells College. Both sides of the avenue were filled by crowds of Aurora people who followed the students to their destination, and were much amused by the odd crowd and the artistically and mathematically humorous transparencies. At Wells College the boys were evidently not unexpected. For the windows and doors of the pretty college building were alive with fair humanity. After several songs and selections by the band between each of which the ladies manifested their approbation in the shape of flowers, handkerchiefs, ribbons and gloves, for all of which there was a vigorous competition among the students, the procession moved away to the scene of the cremation. The pyre had been erected in an open square near the steamboat landing. As the procession reached this mournful cries of the friends of the deceased Al. G. Bray were heard. The sorrowful and wailing throng formed a circle around the pyre and tearfully performed the obsequies of the occasion, which were as follows: Carmen cum Ululatis, Oratio Funebris, Conflagratio Pvrae, Carmen Laetum, Sloganum Cornellianum. The particularly affective parts of the Supplicatio and the Oratio were accompanied by colored lights and increased wailings. The songs, which were composed for the occasion, were well rendered by the Freshman Glee Club. At 10:15 the event marked on the programme as iter ad grubbum took place, and a hungry throng set to work vigorously at the repast that mine host Le Grand had prepared for them. When the clash of dishes ceased the toast master took possession and announced the following toasts, which were responded to in all cases in a very happy manner: Class of ’86, – C. D. Alexander. Aurora, – W. H. Riley. Wells and Sage, – H. E. Summers. Bray’s Funeral, – E. H. Doud. Boarding Houses, – A. H. Grant. The Sophs, – H. C. Charpiot. Bohn, – A. D. Weil. Symposia, – H. Goddard. Little Hill for a(s)cent, – F. M. Newton. College Dudes, – A. T. Emory. The Four, – W. G. Barnev. Midnight Oil vs. Snaps, – H. H. Gadsby. After the toasts the crowd repaired to the boat which left at 1:00 a. m. The return trip was the scene of much merriment, Rho Kappa Tau’s membership was considerably augmented and the initiations were the occasions of much boisterousness and broken-glass. At 3:30 the excursionists reached home a tired and sleepy crowd. All united in their praise of the excursion, declaring that it was a complete success in every particular. Much credit is due to the committee of arrangements, E. H. Doud S. A. Norton, H. Goddard, W. B. Vischer and H. H. Gadsby, who exhibited much enterprise in their successful efforts to make the financial ends meet, and much shrewdness in outwitting the sophomores. H. C. Charpiot as Pontefex Maximus, A. S. Norton as Orator and D. M. Hinman as Undertaker acquitted themselves admirably. The Sopho- was then lighted and as the flames leaped heavenward a moric schemes to annoy the Freshmen failed utterly.

A Successful and as Usual Happy Affair.—Aurora Visited and Interesting Exercises held at Sheldrake. Rho Kappa Tau, “Gone but not Forgotten!” The classes of ’89 and ’90 were fortunate in selecting Friday of last week as the day upon which to hold the annual excursion and cremation. The afternoon upon shore was exceedingly warm, but upon encountering the lake breeze many found overcoats desirable. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, a crowd of about one hundred students made up chiefly of underclassmen, started from State St. for the steamboat landing. The frequent repetition of the Cornell slogan and the enlivening strains of Noble’s comet band attracted considerable attention throughout the line of march, and “ye small boy” followed the procession in generous numbers. Pontifex Maximus, W. Nelson Smith, headed the procession, carrying a black flag artistically decorated with skull and crossbones. Following him were the four bearers and the coffin, upon which was inscribed the following lines: Al. G. Bray Killed 33, March 19, 1887 Requiescat, Etc. Arriving at the steamboat landing the party immediately boarded the “T.D. Wilcox” and at 5 o’clock started for Aurora. The trip down the lake was a pleasant one, the monotony of the ride being relieved in ways peculiar to the college student “out for a time.” Hardly had the boat touched the dock, before all were landed, eager to start for “Wells.” The line was soon formed, and two by two the expectant students tramped through the dust to the alma mater of Mrs. President was to have done the same for ’90, but failing to respond, Mr. McDowell kindly consented to fill his place. At the close of these exercises a rush was made to the Sheldrake House, where the banquet was to take place. The dining room was soon filled and the hearty appetites of 150 students, whetted by the long ride, made sad havoc with the viands. After all had finished eating, Mr. Jones, the toastmaster of the evening, announced the first toast, Rho Kappa Tau, “Gone but not forgotten.” The subject of each toast on the programme was accompanied by a suitable line of poetry. We give one here which may interest the Sophomores. Optics: “Fourscore and a half at the start, But where are the eighty and nine? At one o’clock the Wilcox started for home, bearing a tired, but well satisfied crowd.

In 1901, a small group of men at Cornell were looking to start an organization that would allow them to work cooperatively in campus activities. These men joined together to form a fraternity that they called Skull in a house that was rented on Wait Avenue to the north of Cornell’s campus. Almost simultaneously, eight other men at Cornell formed an organization that came to be known as Bandhu in 1902. Bhandu’s work was based around its name, which means “good fellowship.” They lived in a pecial knowledge. A good part of the evening is then given over to a general “quizzing” of the speakers, this feature of the club being the one that has afforded the members greatest benefit. In the five years that the club has been in existence some of the best known faculty members and University preachers and lecturers have been entertained at its meetings, and the club is generally regarded as filling an important place in undergraduate life.

Mr. Tanner was a professor of mathematics at Cornell and had built the house for his wife and himself in 1901. Both of these organizations grew independently until the outbreak of World War I, when most of the members of Skull and Bandhu went off to serve in the war. Cornell, in fact, became a training camp for soldiers and the house on The Knoll served as barracks. Fearing that their organizations would soon close as a result of dwindling numbers, Skull and Bandhu merged to form Phi Delta Sigma in 1918. This newly formed fraternity resided in the house on The Knoll and NAYATI, Cornell University, 1907 NAYATI has sold its lodge on Cayuga Heights, with five acres of land, to the Phi Epsilon Pi Fraternity.

Total Damage Of $5,000 Hill Fire Company Prevents Total Loss— Repairs Completed By Thanksgiving. Five thousand dollars worth of damage was done by a fire which broke out in the Bandhu fraternity house, on The Knoll, Cornell Heights, early yesterday morning. The loss is fully covered by insurance. While the house is uninhabitable at present, local contractors say that it can be completely repaired by Thanksgiving. In the meantime the members of the fraternity will live in different places, no house being available for the short period of two months’ rental. Dense clouds of smoke pouring into the dormitory on the third floor awakened the occupants of the house at about 6:30 a. m. Rushing to the stair-case that leads to the second floor, they found it impassable because of the heavy smoke. Escape from the burning building was made by means of a fire escape on the west side of the house. On reaching the second floor they found the fire blazing fiercely in the northwest wing of the building, the sidewalls and ceilings being completely enveloped in flames. While one of the members ran to turn in the alarm the others made use of the fire fighting apparatus belonging to the house. This consisted of two lengths of small hose attached to a stand pipe on the second floor. By the time the students got the small hose into action the fire had broken through the ceiling into the dormitory above. The combustible materials of the mattresses quickly caught fire and the entire story was soon ablaze. The timely arrival of the College avenue fire company probably saved the building from total destruction. Several streams of water were soon playing on it and the flames were quickly under control. Three of the down town companies also responded to the alarm. Two companies from the City Hall were on the scene shortly after the College avenue apparatus. The auto fire engine, however, was delayed on the heavy grade because of the slippery pavement. The Thurston avenue bridge is considered too light to support the weight of the new truck so the company proceeded on foot from Rand Hall. The out bell was sounded at about 8:30. Many Subscribers. “The Cornell Civil Engineer” the new magazine organized by undergraduates of the Department of Civil Engineering will make its first appearance as a University publication today. The work was planned over a year ago, and will take the place to a certain extent of the yearly magazine “Transactions,” formerly published at the end of each college year by the Senior class in Civil Engineering. The publication will be in regular magazine form and will in number of pages be somewhat larger than the other Cornell monthly magazines. The plan of the magazine is to make it principally, though not strictly a publication pertaining to civil engineering affairs, and of interest to undergraduates and alumni civil engineers.

The Club has been acting plays almost every week throughout the year in the small theater of Risley Hall. The practice thus gained resulted in a performance of “Quality Street” which held the interest of the large audience. From: Cornell Alumni News, Vol. 18, No. 22, 2 Mar 1915, p. 262.

Of the identified or potentially identifiable individuals in the photographs only two—George Baxter Upham and his brother James Duncan Upham—share all four connections. There is a portrait of George Baxter Upham in the collection (W556) that was annotated as though it were being given to someone else. There is no comparable portrait of James Duncan Upham in the collection, although he is identifiable in W578 and W581. A comparison of handwriting from a document prepared by James Duncan Upham in 1874 and the inscriptions on the backs of several of the portraits in the collection where the recipient annotated the identity of the individual in the photograph demonstrates a similarity that leads the collector/author to believe that James Duncan Upham owned these photographs.

A mysterious whisper was all that was necessary to inspire them all with a strange activity. The result of all these mysterious whisperings and flittings was that at 11 o’clock the various “Dwellers” were drawn up in line before the N. U. B. Each was armed with a cornet, tin horn or other instrument of torture. Slowly they filed along the banks of the creek, through the deep shade of Cedar Hollow and over the bridge into the Village of Free Hollow. They passed through the quiet town and at a signal from “Van” halted before a small cottage. The horns, pans, &c, were kept in subjection until Messrs. Lucas and Sneieler had performed a cornet duet, then they broke forth into a terrestrial (sic) pandemonium. This had the desired effect, and Mr. Jones, the proprietor of the cidermill appeared upon the scene and conducted the company to the mill. The “Dwellers” here disposed themselves in picturesque groups on the various barrels and boxes, while their benevolent host passed around the brimming decanters. After all had partaken, Sophomore “Jeems” was assisted to a cask and after “wetting his whistle” for the 13th time, thanked the bountiful proprietor for his good cheer. The company then sung their benefactor’s health in the improved rhyme —“Here’s to Mr. Jones ! For he’s a jolly bag of bones! drink it down.” Then with three cheers for Free Hollow, they formed into line again and with all the “sleep-disturbers” blowing, beat a hasty retreat to Cedar Hollow. Here a halt was made and a resolution adopted that, as Mr. Jones had done the “square thing” by the boys, there be none of those mysterious disappearancee (sic) of barrels of cider which have occasionally visited former proprietor of the mill. The march was then continued to the Buildings. Here they parted with the song: —“Here’s to good old cider For it makes the intellect wider.’’ (taking the Chinese view of the seat of the intellect). And thus ended the annual visit of the “Dwellers” to Free Hollow.” From: The Cornell Era (Ithaca, NY), Vol. 9, No. 4, 6 Oct 1876, p. 31. Life in the University Buildings. The “Dwellers on the Hill” and the “Denizens of the Valley” constitute two types of the Cornell student which are characterized by distinguishing features more marked, perhaps, than those existing between any other two classes of Cornellians. 875 “We would thank you for space to give a pen picture of the typical “ Dweller” and the institutions peculiar to the Hill. Let us hope that some “Denizen” will give us the bright side of life in the Valley, and then let the pen pass to the hand of some fair historian who will give us the joys and sorrows of existence at Sage College. The contrast of the three pictures would prove a most interesting study to the student in psychology. There are many differences, existing between the two styles of life arising from the difference in geographical position. The “Hillian’’ breathes pure air and drinks wholesome water. He has spread before him while looking up the Valley or down the Lake a beautiful prospect diversified by land and water and all that can please the eye. He lives within the very sound of the thundering Triphammer calling him ever to the banks of the stream, there to “list to Nature’s teachings,” to study her power in the raging cataract or to hearken to the “still voice” in the sighing of the wind or the murmur of the rill. But there are other advantages which this difference of location affords the “Dweller on the Hill.” He is near the Campus, the Gymnasium, Library, etc. How, you say, can that fact be of advantage to him? A word, and it will be evident. Being near the recitation and lecture rooms he can utilize the the time between the different classes. If he has a spare hour in the forenoon he steps up to his room and donning dressing gown and slippers sits in his cozy study while the poor “Denizen” is shivering on the Campus or vainly trying to study in the library which is crowded with a hundred other unfortunates. In the afternoon the “Hillian” can step into the library or laboratories which at this time are comparatively deserted and quiet. At evening when exercise and recreation demand his attention the ‘’Dweller”” repairs to the Gymnasium or the fool-ball ground or takes a pleasant stroll along the Gorge. The students on the Hill are just as different from those living in the Valley as are their respective locations. The former as a class, are those who come to the University to study, and care more for that than they do for the excitement and distraction of the town. They are as a class Independents, not that the “Hillians” are opposed to the secret societies, but because not belonging to any fraternity, they find, in the intimate relations existing between the inmates of the University Buildings, friends and companions, which the society man in town finds among the members of the fraternity. There are on the Hill, a few society men who have come there because they recognize its advantages as a place for study. They are, however, of liberal enough views to hob-nob and make friends with the other “Dweller”. An obnoxiously exclusive society man would not be tolerated in the dormitories. Living thus apart from the rest of the student-world it is but natural that certain peculiar institutions have sprung up among the “Hillians”. There are any number of minor peculiarities which we might study, but there are two which stand pre-eminent, of the like of which the town student cannot boast. The annual “Hill This unity of feeling finds expression in various ways. If Banquet’’ is a supper held in the spring term.

But let us not deceive. The “circus” as it obtains on the Hill has none of the characteristics of the ancient circus nor its modem travesty. To analyze, however, the necessary qualities for a successful “circus” are hilarity, general participation and some good practical joke, or better yet, a complication of jokes. There must be no ill feeling and no malice. All, even to the victim himself, must enjoy the joke and join in the laugh.

Pure Water —It is to be regretted that while the spirit of reform is upon the managers of the rooms in the University buildings, they do not improve, or rather make endurable, the filthy fluid which the janitor provides for the dwellers on the hill. It is called water; it consists of a turbid liquid filled with rust, sticks, dirt and bugs, and is not fit for use till after straining. In this connection we may remark that none of the water on the hill which is drawn directly from the reservoir is fit to drink. It seems to be thought that because the water is on the hill it must be pure; but the fact is that it comes without filtering from Fall Creek — Last Monday night, the Hillians made their annual pil- which drains several square miles of land east and north of grimage to the Free Hollow cider mill.

After executing some of their choicest selections in the presence of a hastily assembled auditory of that suburban town, our minstrel band was ushered into the presence of the confused vender, who seeing no other way out of the difficulty, hastily produced the coveted extract. Having all drank their fill of the sparkling liquid a collection was taken up amounting to ninety-five cents and turned over to the proprietor of the mill who seemed somewhat surprised at having so much money thus suddenly thrust upon him.

The Navy Gymnasium.— A want that has long been felt by those students who live in town will be fell no longer, for we have a down-town gymnasium. Our gymnasium on the hill in its barnlike building has always been somewhat of an eye-sore, and its situation on the campus has been such that only Hillians have received much benefit from it. A very few “denizens” find it convenient to climb the hill after dinner for the sake of making use of the apparatus in the Hill gym., and hence efforts have been made which have led to the opening of the down-town, or Navy Gymnasium.

It is time that arrangements were made for the Hill Banquet, which has now become one of the important events of the year. Few things will be remembered with greater pleasure by the Hillians who have left college than these annual gathererings. (sic) In order that the banquet of this year should be as successful as those of previous years, preparations will have to be elaborated immediately. Officers must be elected, music obtained and speeches prepared before the important day arrives. Rules must be made excluding the Denizens of the Valley from profaning by their presence this sacred feast. There has always been some difficulty in determining where the dividing line between Hillians and Denizens should be drawn. This should be settled this year once for all; and the sheep separated from the goats as soon as possible. The time of holding the banquet has been a subject of debate in former years. Some have favored having it before the engineers commence the lake survey, while others have insisted on deferring it till Commencement week. If the latter time is chosen, some are prevented from attending who would otherwise have graced the evening with their presence. Many of the underclassmen leave college as soon as examinations close; and the Seniors are very busily occupied during the last week. In view of all the facts it would seem to be better to hold the banquet before the engineers go up the lake; and, if this be done, plans must be perfected immediately. [After the above was in type, the Hillians held a meeting and made the arrangements for the banquet. An account of this meeting will be found in our local column.] From: The Cornell Era (Ithaca, NY), Vol. 12, No. 24, 16 Apr 1880, p. 291. The Hillian Banquet. There is a tradition, which seems to have gained some little credence among the general public and students as well, that Cornell University was founded some sixteen years ago by the “bounty of the United States and Ezra Cornell.” No Hillian believes such childish prattle. No candid man can after once stopping 878 to think. There are two insurmountable objections to this fanciful legend. Geology shows beyond the shadow of a doubt that the foundation of the University—the Hill— was laid away back in primeval chaos when none of us, except Uncle Josh, had an existence. And here is the second objection, for Uncle Josh must be more than sixteen, and everybody knows that he never could have lived anywhere except in the basement of the South Building. However this may be the Hillians have ancestry and traditions which are not shared by any other group of Cornellians. And the Saturnalia—the red day—of the hill, is the annual banquet. There was never such a thing as the failure of a hill banquet. Kingdoms crumble into dust, empires fall away, banks break, and Sophomore excursions grow stale and unprofitable, but the feast of the Hillians goes on forever. Loyal Hillians of old, who are now striking sturdy blows in the world’s workshop, come back year after year and join with the children in renewing the memories and the glories of the Hill. A peculiar interest attached to the reunion just held. One of the oldest Hillians, who, in the language of the high priest, “has given the same identical speech at every banquet for the last seven years,’’ was to present the hill with a new and improved deity. This and the other attractions drew together a large number, and when all were seated around the tables in the Hill parlors (Steb’s old room), fifly-two were found to be present. The programs, arranged by Ayres, ‘84. were exceedingly novel and amusing.” The Hillians Ninth Annual Goose Chase, he had termed it, and from the graceful poems of that renowned authoress— Mother Goose—were given many rare and touching quotations. At half past nine the curtain was rung up, and scene first opened by the gander-in-chief, Boyer, ‘83, who spoke thoughtfully and seriously upon the works and influence of the Hillians as students and alumni. The history was happily rendered by the “first quack,” Webb, ‘84. The origin of the hill banquet was given, together with many important events of later history. The Orator, Thurber, ‘86, had meditated flight for several days. A strong guard had been placed over him, whose vigilance, however he managed to elude, and thus deprived the banqueters of this part of the program. Nineteen yards of Freshman poetry were then unrolled by Sanford, ‘87, who handled the muses in fine style and received great applause. To Newton, ‘86 had been confided the book of Hillian fate, and his interpretation thereof was taken as final and irrevocable. Glorious things are in store for such a people and such a prophet. Scene second now began. This was the supper, which occupied the undivided attention of every Hillian until each and every strawberry and sandwich had disappeared, and the seven baskets full gathered up. A song by Uncle Josh followed the close of the repast, and then Hill, ‘86, delivered an appropriate memorial address over one of the hill’s late departed, after which a beautiful memorial tablet was unveiled. Mr. Hill’s address was received with the wildest applause, being espe- ter and enjoyment. Mr. Dunham, the Pontifax Maximus, cially witty and eloquent.

I knew of some men of extreme wealth who paid four dollars a week for rooms and six dollars for table board; one extravagant man went even so far as to keep a horse; but that was a mere plutocratic gesture! As a result of this division on financial lines, there was a tendency for the valley dwellers to think somewhat slightingly of the social status of the dwellers on the hill, who in some way became known as ‘77, “manufacturer and soul executioner” of the new “Hillians.” For three years I lived in rooms over a store on divinity, replied with happy effect and then drew aside the State Street, and paid $1.50 a week for very comfortable curtain.

This was the 10th time such a banquet has been held by the students living on the hill, and was in no way inferior to any of the previous ones. The sole care of the evening was to have a time, and surely every one seemed to enjoy himself. About ten o’clock the party, consisting of nearly sixty sat down to the “festive board” but before devouring the repast listened to extravagance of fourfifty board, and ate at “Boss” Keith’s Club in a tiny shack in the orchard that yielded place to Lincoln Hall. Keith ran the club and thus earned his board. At the weekend costs were summed and divided by the number of boarders; the result hovered between $1.50 and $3.

Few experiences of my life have left me more joyful than this call. On June 9, 1876, the custom was established of holding an annual banquet on the Hill in June. In the first printed program the participants were called “Dwellers on the Hill.” In addition to usual officers of the organization there were, for the banquet, an orator, a poet, an essayist, a historian, and a prophet. Alas, that no record remains of their efforts! These banquets were forgal (sic) and inexpensive. One program states that “Reservoir water only will be supplied.” I take this “with a grain of salt,” knowing that the “Free Hollow [now Forest Home] cider mill was only a mile away, with its pre-prohibition stores from the preceding autumn. The cider mill has crumbled to dust, and it mained for moderns to realize how sinful it is to drink apple juice with just a tang to give it character. The eighth banquet was called, on the printed program, “Hillians’ Eighth Annual Jaw Bone Tournament.” There was an elaborate program of speakers which included Professors Gage, Huffcut, Cornstock, Burr, and Wing. On the front of one of the programs— printed in Greek—was a quotation from the Odyssey. Professor Burr’s translation, written on Professor Gage’s copy is: “I dwell in far seen Ithaca, and therein is a Hill. Assuredly it is rough and not a good place for horses; and yet it is not so sorry a spot; for in it is food divine, and there the generous wine is found, and the rain is on it evermore and the fresh dew.” Uncle Josh, the janitor, was always an honored guest; sometimes he was asked to speak, sometimes to sing; and always he responded, and was received with hearty appreciation. Then finally, about 1887, because of increased need for class rooms, the hill dormitories were withdrawn and the Hillians were no more. To day the aristocracy of wealth dwells on the Hill, and those who would have been Hillians long ago have retreated to the valley. A.W.

Twenty-two years ago, or, to be exact, in the year 1901, the Athletic Association had reached a point where it either had to take in washing or secure the services of Pop (Wellar) (adv.) in order to remain solvent. Disaster was averted, however, when the Savage Club, the Masque, and the Musical Clubs got together and decided to give a big combined show for the benefit of the Association. In order to foster the sale of tickets for the performance, a prominent undergraduate, Childs by name, organized an informal parade as an advertising feature. The parade, consisting of the said undergraduate, one dog, and a brass band, hit the campus just as the twelve o’clock classes were beginning to take effect. The perfectly natural phenomenon of spontaneous combustion occured, (sic) and the entire University joined the parade in one capacity or another. As a result, the Athletic Association avoided the threatening clouds of receivership. The sale of tickets was a complete success. foolish action. As time wore on, the evening performance was dropped, leaving only the circus in the morning and a baseball game in the afternoon. From then on, this order of events has remained unchanged with the exception of the addition of crew races at dusk when the wind stops blowing, if it does. Although no longer an infant in arms, the Athletic Association still finds it necessary to ask father for a nickel now and then, so we find Spring Day still with us. With an adroit use of the imagination, however, the financial aspect of the day may be easily forgotten. 100% efficient Americans forget the great world of Pep, Punch, and Enterprise for the space of twenty-four hours, and enter into the carnival in a spirit of joyful, festive, generous, and genuine celebration. Alumni and undergraduate, Phi Bete and bustee, join mental hands and flit aesthetically from Schoellkopf to Cayuga with the joy of Spring in their hearts and words of greeting on their lips. S-P-R-I-N-G D-A-Y A year passed. The Association again found itself with holes in its pockets and nothing to fall out of them. Another show was planned at the Lyceum and the necessity arose to secure a successful sale of tickets. John Senior, then Graduate Manager of athletics, and Ralph Kent decided that a demonstration of some account in the morning would turn the trick, and, as a consequence, ballons, (sic) rattles, and other Fourth of July accessories were added to the parade. Other attractions, including a tug-of-war and side-shows on the campus, eliminated the need of having classes for an hour and the affair was acclaimed a success. In fact, more money was taken in through the celebration than at the Lyceum in the evening. The officials of the Athletic Association wore top hats at the indoor track meets the next year. — The Official Guide to the Schoellkopf Sweepstakes, Spring Day, 1923, Cornell University Athletic Association, Ithaca, NY, 19 May 1923, page 5. In 1903, a circus rivaling Hagenback and Wallace was held on the quadrangle. For a period of one (1) hour classes were suspended by a unamious (sic) vote of the students, and Spring Day became as much of an established institution at Cornell as the Committee on Doubtful Cases. 1904 rolled around just one year later, and someone said, “Let the students be damned all day long”, so the day was made a complete full holiday. Athletic events were held in the afternoon, with the usual show in the evening. The University recognized the event and gave it official sanction, with only a few professors resigning as a result of this 881 Appendix Q Vermont Academy – Collection Provenance Items W667 through W691 were purchased as a lot, and appear to have been owned by an individual or family with the following connections: (a) Vermont Academy between 1880 and 1884 and then between 1891 and 1893, (b) Vermont and New Hampshire during that period, and (c) Cornell University in the mid-1890s. Of the identified or potentially identifiable individuals in the photographs who attended Vermont Academy, none appeared to have attended Cornell University. And of the two identified Cornell students who are pictured, neither attended Vermont Academy. This raises the questions of why the Vermont Academy photos fall into two groups separated by about 10 years and what links these students to Cornell in the 1890s? One possibility is Herbert Wade Hibbard. Hibbard graduated from Vermont Academy in 1882, Brown University in 1886, and Cornell in 1891, emerging with a degree in mechanical engineering. He married Mary Permelia Scofield (W679) on 30 Sept 1891. Mary had graduated from Vermont Academy on 23 Jun 1891, nine years after her husband. For three years they lived—and he worked—in Pennsylvania. Mary died in Easton, PA in 1895, and in 1898 Hibbard returned to Cornell to become a professor, specializing in the mechanical engineering of railways. Hibbard married a second time, on 20 Aug 1896, to Mary Coleman Davis, of Walpole, NH. Mary Davis attended Cornell from 1898-99. Her photo may be among the unidentified individuals in this collection. Below on the right is a known portrait of Hibbard, taken (presumably) while he was a faculty member at Cornell. On the left is a detail from one of the unidentified student portraits (W682) in this collection that has been flipped horizontally to allow a better comparison of the two faces. It appears to be a younger portrait of Hibbard. Above: Detail of W682– Unknown student, Brattleboro, VT. Image flipped horizontally. Potentially identified as Herbert Wade Hibbard.

A large number of the Senior class attended, but, owing to the occurrence of recitations at the same hour, but few of the members of the lower classes were present. At the appointed time Mr. Humphrey, presi- dent of ’75, took the chair and briefly stated the object of the meeting. Mr. Tompkins, ’75, was appointed secretary. The constitution of the Inter-Collegiate Literary Associa- tion, as adopted at the convention held at Hartford, was then read by the secretary and ratified by the meeting without a dissenting voice. A motion was made that James Fraser Cluck of the class of ’74, should be our representa- tive.

The primary object of students, in attending college, being to prepare themselves as fully as possible for the real work of life, it appears to us that, if not the most, at least a little attention should be given to those means that will best fit them for that work. Reluctant as we may be to admit it, one of the most important methods in thus preparing themselves, outside of their regular University studies, is almost entirely overlooked. We refer to the literary societies. It is needless to expatiate upon the benefits to be derived from attending and taking part in their exercises; for all have heard, time and again, their great value extolled by those whose age and experience would render their opinions of greater weight than anything we could say. In reading the lives of the great orators and speakers of our country, we are constantly reminded that the foundation of the easy and fluent style of speaking they possessed in later years, was laid in the academy or college debating society. William M. Evarts, in a public address, a short time since, acknowledged the great good he had derived in the old college debating societies, and expressed his great regret at their, decline. When, if not during his University course, can one obtain that facility of thought and speech so necessary to a ready debater? In the University he is constantly learning rules that can be applied in the literary society, while they are yet fresh in the mind; and nowhere, as in the society, will he receive that free criticism of his style and form in speech and matter, that is so great an aid in polishing and rubbing off the rough corners in a beginner. If the students of our University are to take part in the Inter-Collegiate Literary Contest where is there a better field than these societies afford in which to school themselves? There are at our University four distinct literary societies: the Adelphi, the Curtis, the Irving and the Philalatheian; yet less than one-third of the students ever attend the meetings, and a much smaller number are active members. This should not be so. Every student ought to be a regular attendant upon the meetings of some one of these societies for he can constantly be learning something that will be of use to him in after life. If one, by such an attendance, could gain a correct knowledge of parliamentary rules, he would, be amply repaid for all of the time so spent. Every one, at some period in his life, is called upon to act when a perfect acquaintance with these rules will be of great benefit to him. Here they may be obtained with hardly any exertion on his part. It cannot be for lack of time that students do not attend these societies, for the majority of students waste more than double the time, in useless amusements, that their work as members of a literary society would require. We would urge all students, and especially those who have just entered the University, who are not now members of some literary society, not to wait for a second invitation to join. The above societies are willing to take into their ranks, those who are really in earnest and determined to take an active part in the work. We would also urge those who do not wish to take a part in the active duties, by all means to encourage those who do, by being present at their meetings. Let us see if we cannot, during the coming year, awaken as much interest in our literary societies as in boating; and if only one of these two is to exist at Cornell in strength, let it be the literary societies rather than boating; for it will be infinitely more honor to Cornell when her first man carries off; the prize at the Inter-collegiate Literary Contest, than when her crew carries off the prize at the Inter-collegiate Regatta. From: The Cornell Era, Vol. 7, No. 4, 2 Oct 1874, p. 28. The Ovation. When the news that Cornell had covered herself with glory reached Ithaca the next morning after the Inter-Collegiate Contest, of course glad hearts found expression in joyful faces and warm congratulations. At twenty minutes before ten o’clock the great bell pealed forth the glad news, and later the booming of cannon showed that the first report had been confirmed. Accord- 884 ing to the precedent formed last year, the formal ovation was left to the citizens of the town. Money was liberally subscribed by the citizens to purchase presents for the victors and to meet other expenses. The time chosen was the evening of the Founder’s day, the 11th of January. Long before the exercise began, Library Hall was filled to its utmost capacity. Some could not find room in the hall and turned away disappointed. Enlivening music was furnished by Dr. Howe’s orchestra. Rev. Dr. Stebbins was chosen President, and nine of the prominent citizens of Ithaca Vice-Presidents of the meeting. Of what was said during these most interesting exercises which continued for more than three hours we can give but an epitome. Dr. Stebbins, who showed admirable taste in conducting the meeting, gave direction to the occasion by his own genial manner and over flowing good humor. On taking the chair he said: Last summer when the glorious news readied Ithaca, I had the misfortune not to he present, but nevertheless I heard the tremors of your shouting in the air, and saw the gleams of your fire works although seven hundred miles away. How appropriate the day upon which we now extend our congratulations to the heroes in Cornell’s last and greatest, victory! If it is permitted the departed to know what transpires here in our midst, how the Founder of our University must be gratified, how his countenance must shine with joy at this scene. It was settled last summer that Cornell’s sons had sound bodies, and now this victory testifies that they have sound minds in sound bodies. The greatness of the victory, he said, could be judged when it is remembered that there were eleven colleges in the contest, and that such renowned scholars and men as Bryant, Curtis, Reid, Chambers, Dimmock, and Newcomb were among the examiners and judges. The victors now took their place upon the stage, greeted by the warm applause of the audience. Mr. Tompkins then delivered his prize oration which was listened to with the closest attention. The oration will doubtless appear in one of the college publications, and will speak for itself. Although Mr. Tompkins has a good voice and is master of gesture, we still think he lacks the magnetic power to kindle others, which is the greatest possession of the successful orator. Mr. Heath’s essay was read by Professor Corson in his usually entertaining manner. The essay shows a large and accurate knowledge of novelists and their works, and an unusual analytic power in treating of them. The production contained not one attempt at a striking or extraordinary sentence, but was marked throughout by perfect simplicity. In a letter to the chairman Mr. Heath spoke in this very modest manner: As the office of thanking the Association belongs to the orator of the Inter-Collegiate, I shall only call attention to the fact that while all belongs alike to the University, those who enter a competitive examination in Greek and mathematics have a far more difficult duty than an essayist who merely submits his essay to a committee of Jar ready to discharge, was next called. His address was judges. An essay on mathematics ought to be required of marked by his usual intense earnestness. He would take up Mr. Parmer, said the President, but like the Scotch lady a new line of thought. There was an undercurrent to all who admired her minister’s discourses so much, and who, this. It was a triumph of principles. First, the University is on being asked about them “wad nae hae the presumption nonsectarian. One clause in its charter declares that the to understand them;” so he, for a similar reason, would governing body of the University shall never be composed excuse Mr. Palmer. The point was admirable made. As for exclusively of any body of religionists, or of any body of the maiden Thomas, continued the speaker, we should be non-religionists.

Dr. White who made some well-timed Harvard, The University of Michigan, and the University remarks. He spoke, among other things, of the perfect of Virginia, were mentioned as noble exceptions. How- harmony existing between ‘’the town and the gown,” so ever good a religion may be, it should never be made the exceptional in college history; behold how good and how basis of the qualifications of a professor. To succeed in pleasant a thing it is for brethren to dwell together in education, no college charter must shut out such men as unity. Stanton’s Shakespeare was presented to Mr. Heath, Curtis, Agassiz, Taylor, and Lowell, men whose influence the complete works of Daniel Webster to Mr. Tompkins, and help we have had here. The next principle which has Goethe’s complete works to Mr. Palmer, and Curtius’ its weight here, is that of concentration of resources for Greece to Mrs. Irvine, once Miss Thomas. Mr. Tompkins higher education, giving in this case very superior advan- replied in behalf of his associates in a few appropriate tages to our contestants, especially in the men whose although not over modest words, saying that they entered influence they have been under, and above all, in having the contest imbued with the idea that while they were the use of a library at least not excelled by more than two getting, it was best to get all they could, that their laurels college libraries in the United States. He then spoke of the should grace none but their Alma Mater and that when, choice of studies.

This could never Mrs. Irvine not being present, Prof. Russel received the lead to high scholarship. All could not win prizes in New present, for this lady in a very affecting speech. Prof. York, but all who will, may win prizes somewhere in life. Russel said: I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Professors Shackford, Flagg, and Oliver would have been having devoted a long service to the cause of womanhood, called on but for the lateness of the hour. Professor Potter to her right to educate and elevate herself, for now being was vigorously called for. As the meeting was declared allowed to represent a woman. One year ago when the adjourned, he said, “Students of Cornell!

In the annals of Cornell we have two great someone, from Cornell, took the prize in, &c. That victories; Saratoga and Yorktown. Never allow your colors prophecy has been fulfilled. A woman, continued he, has to be dishonored.” brought honor upon our college, and upon every one in it. He then spoke of what Miss Thomas had done to prove From: The Cornell Era, Vol. 8, No. 13, 14 Jan 1876, pp. 100-102. that women, as well as men, have ability. Before coming to Cornell she used the leisure hours she had from the work of the composing desk, in improving her mind. After graduating here last June, when requested to represent our University at the examinations in Greek, she put off her marriage for six months, and devoted herself to severe studies to advance both woman’s interests and those of her chosen college. Prof. R. thought no girls’ school could have given the culture that it is possible to acquire at a co-educational institution like Cornell. He further continued, If a man wants a companion whose society he can enjoy, whose counsel he can ask, he wants an educated woman. And finally, what is more than all, as is expressed by Mrs. Browning, love comes best to those of equal degree. Of course, these sentiments did not escape the hisses of some opponents of co-education in the gallery. President White, whom Dr. Stebbins termed a Leyden- 885 The Jubilee. The Jubilee and Ovation tendered by the students and citizens of Ithaca to the successful I. C. L. victors, last Saturday evening at Library Hall, was one of the most delightful occasions of the college year. The happy completion of the order of exercises was largely due to the untiring exertions of the Committee of Arrangements, Messrs. Lehmaier, Wilson, Conant and Moffat. The beautiful evening and the pleasant memories of previous receptions conspired to fill the hall to repletion. On the stage was Hon. W. L. Bostwick, chairman, and an interesting delegation from the Faculty arranged around the stage with imposing effect. Tumultuous applause from the gallery gods and Academic “spuds” greeted the arrival of the favorite Professors and noted college characters, and varied the entertainment in a delightful manner. Dr. Howe’s orchestra opened the exercises with a lively Offenbachian air which was followed by a short introductory address by the chairman. He referred briefly to a few of Cornell’s recent victories; to the regularity in which those Ovations occur; and closed by suggesting the propriety of setting apart two days in our calendar, one in January and the other in July, for general jollification, and that, not- withstanding our misfortune in having no Representative in oratory, he could still rejoice, since it was Hamilton, his alma mater, that bore away the prize. (Distinct sobs in the gallery.) The audience was then treated to some more music by the orchestra, the gallery imps meanwhile keep- ing time with their feet to the intense alarm of the people beneath. Mr. Brewer, ’76, then read his prize essay on ‘The Federalist Party in America.” The essay was a concise historical account of the rise and fall of the Federalist Party, simple in construction, and plain almost to sever- ity. The audience was then entertained by the Glee Club, with a song, but unfortunately it was pitched so high that the effect was not decidedly electrical. Mr. Randolph, ’79, then read his essay on “Hawthorne’s Place in Literature.” His treatment of the subject was ornate, introducing many appropriate comparisons and metaphors, and read in a clear, pleasing voice. Mr. S. H. Coon’s essay on the same subject was not presented for want of time. At the conclusion of Mr. Randolph’s essay the Glee Club sang the Cornell Hymn, after which Mr. Halliday, ’70, in a few happy remarks presented the prizes generously contrib- uted by the students and citizens of the town. Mr. Brewer briefly responded on behalf of himself and associates, and returned hearty thanks for their enthusiastic reception. To the Latin competitor, Mr. E. Schwerdtfeger, ’77, was given Monson’s History of Rome; to Mr. E. Frayer ’76, the suc- cessful competitor in Greek, Bryant’s Translation of Hom- er’s Illiad; to Mr. C. T. Brewer ’76 George Ticknor Curtis’ on the Constitution and Hamilton’s Federalist; to Mr. N. A. Randolph ’79. Longfellow’s Translation of Dante’s Divinia Comedia; to Mr. S. H. Coon ’76. Macauley’s Life and Letters, and to Mr. C. A. VanVelzer, the competitor in Mathematics, three volumes of the American Journal of Mathematics. The prizes were neatly bound in half calf, and will form a valuable addition to the libraries of the recipients. Persisent (sic) calls were made throughout the evening for Profs. Potter and Oliver, but neither of those gentleman close to respond. Prof. Russel however, made a few interesting remarks, quoting a few choice extracts from the Register and venturing upon another explana- tion of that seal. He recounted briefly the opposition to the University from its inception; the beauties of co- education; the interest the Professors had in the students, and closed by remarking that our success at New York was the result of the faithful labors of Profs. Shackford, Peck, Flagg and Oliver, (a voice; Arnold!) and a hearty approval of the methods of instruction in their several depart- ments. His speech was frequently interrupted by vocifer- ous applause rather indiscriminately administered, at the 886 conclusion of which, the audience slowly dispersed to the lively measures of a German waltz and the distressing strains of “There is a boarding-house Far, far away, Where they have Ham and eggs Three times a day. Oh! how the boarders yell When they hear the dinner-bell; Oh! how those eggs do smell, Far, far away!” From: The Cornell Era, Vol. 9, No. 14, 26 Jan 1877, pp. 107-108.
