IO ITHACA, NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 1 5 , 1 9 4 3 PRICE, 2.O CENTS POST-WAR EDUCATION: A SYMPOSIUM By Professor Lane Cooper English Language and Literature, Emeritus EXPERIMENTS in education, in the usual sense of novelties, are mostly dangerous and bad, as any change that is based on a superficial study of the recent past is bad; for that is no study of the past at all. The past means the sum of human experience, not the past ten years, or any other decade cut off from all that went before it. Three or four experiments have caught the public notice. The first is an experiment in teaching the humanities at a great Middle Western university. I condemn the scheme, not for what it gives, but for what it lacks. The man who is responsible for the whole experiment is not a scholar, as his greatest predecessor emphatically was. Fundamentals Must Remain The clever man whose name I must not mention in Gath or in Chicago is not a leader in any field of learning, nor has he a Gildersleeve at hand for counsel; nor does he believe that the plots and marshallings of educational affairs come best from those who are learned. His Gildersleeve went off to Massachusetts. The truth must out that, while professing to esteem the Classics, our popular leader has damaged them or let them languish, not yet beyond repair, but they will not soon recover at Chicago. The noble institution there illustrates a bad current tendency which can be seen in the reports of the College Board Examinations, the flight, unchecked by our guides and great ones, not alone from Greek and Latin and ancient history, but from any subjects that are hard, or are considered hard; the flight into subjects that are easy, or can be made so, as the 'social sciences' and other novelties. Manifestly I should grieve to be found fighting those who think that they are on the side of the angels. Yet compare the advertisement of St. John's in 1868, when you had to take four years of Greek and Latin, with the present scheme. The two lie cheek by jowl for advertising purposes, as if the new were an outgrowth of the old, and an improvement on it. When you examine them, I say that, with regard to Greek and Latin, the new is a glib pretentious bluff, and I fear the new leader is a Sophist, not a scholar, nor an educated person of the sort demanded by our dreadful times. We come now to the third great experiment, that of 'English,' put forward Our forum on post-war education, begun last issue, contains this time the first of several contributions already in hand from alumni who are leaders in business and industry. A number of members of the University have also submitted their ideas for publication and others are promised, to continue the forum in forthcoming issues. Collyer is president of the Class of Ί 7 and a Trustee of the University. Professor Cooper has set forth his ideas on this subject at greater length in his book, Experiments in Education, recently published by the University Press. as a substitute for Greek and Latin. Perhaps we should not expect too much of 'English', as we should not expect too much of education as a whole. I think well of my own subject when it is welded to a loving study of the Bible and the Classics. But is has become divorced from Greek and Latin, and, thus divorced, it has not stemmed the wave of barbarism that has swept our country. The teachers of English themselves, often innocent of Greek and Latin, are seldom duly literate. Public speakers cannot' keep the peace between a subject in the singular and its verb if a noun in the plural comes between them. A hiss at the end of a subject-noun like influence will bring a plural predicate. And specialists in economics, anthropology, or chemistry do not know the force or the pronunciation of their technical terms, virtually all derived from Greek and Latin. Meanwhile huge classes in our universities are taught to think, with their teachers, that the English language and literature have existed but six hundred years, and began with Chaucer. Or else the classes learn that the history of English culture lies between pagan limits, and runs from Beowulf to Thomas Hardy. But the history of English culture up to Chaucer is longer by two hundred years than its history after him. And, fortunately, throughout the fourteen hundred years of it, the history of our language, literature, and culture, has been distinctly Christian. The Voice of England (see Osgood's noble book) is a Christian voice. In setting the limits, we had better call a series of literary extracts 'From Caedmon to Kipling'. Religion Important By the literary value of the Bible, we certainly do not mean an added ornament like paint upon the nails and lips; we mean the deepest, fullest sense of the vital word that helps us face the death of the (Continued on -page iγό) By John L. Collyer '17 President, B. F. Goodrich Co. pEESTABLISHMENT and restoration -TV of world economic and political life after this war will constitute a task of monumental size and importance for all civilization. While leadership and responsibility cannot be delegated solely to any nation or any group of individuals, it seems to me that world problems which lie ahead hold greatest challenge for our international educational systems and institutions. Ordered knowledge must of necessity play a major role in formulating new broad concepts to safeguard future peace in a world that has been indoctrinated with intolerance, hate, and fear. Due primarily to the substantial progress made in the fields of general and specialized education during the last twentyfive years, this nation is far better equipped to meet the difficulties imposed after the guns are stilled than was true at the close of World War I. Need Trained Personnel Personnel, competently trained in all branches of human endeavor, will be required in the reorganization of our postwar world. These fields of service will embrace production, trade, finance, the sciences, and the whole range of social and economic activities. American business and industry should prepare now to accept the opportunity of world trade and commerce on an unprecedented scale. Well-trained personnel must be made available to implement and direct new enterprise, both here and abroad, indicating the advisability of closer cooperation between industry and education as advocated in the ALUMNI NEWS by Professors Anderson and de Kiewiet. There now seems to be little likelihood that standards for the selection of personnel by industry will be markedly changed after the war. It is a well-established American principle to select the bestequipped men and women available for placement in industry. Employment standards are revised upward in direct proportion to the number of qualified applicants obtainable, to meet the requirements of the production, technical, or merchandising branches of a given business. Industry, in the selection of personnel, places emphasis on character, a prime requisite, as well as the qualities of resourcefulness, perseverance, commonsense, and the ability to cooperate with others. These are all fundamental re- CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS quirements and are in almost constant demand. The B. F. Goodrich Company has had a program of long standing which provides for employee training and combines theory with practice. The employee, regardless of his educational background or previous experience, has had the opportunity to broaden his knowledge of product and company policy and gain specialized instruction while performing assigned duties. Present plans contemplate greater emphasis on industrial educational activities when conditions warrant and the urgent need for war production has been lessened or concluded. Must Adapt Education As we are all involved in this war, it is useless to assume that business or education can possibly carry on as usual. Our concern for the future should be both objective and practical, recognizing that it is impossible to create overnight, or in *a matter of months, a reservoir of thoroughly trained personnel for the work ahead when victory is finally achieved. In my opinion, more importance should be attached to American history and geography in school curricula than has been generally the practice in the past. In addition, knowledge of world history and geography should be a part of the graduate's equipment for tomorrow's undertakings. Planning of expanded and concentrated educational programs for men returning from the armed forces should be given early and intelligent consideration by the government, industry, and our colleges and universities. Opportunity should be afforded men to resume without delay academic work interrupted by the war, for these young veterans will provide some of the leadership so essential to world security in the reconstruction era that looms ahead. Human Relations Important With industry and business looking to our educational institutions for men and women to staff and administer operations in many fields, it is recommended that greater attention be given by colleges and universities to vocational guidance for young men and women who are about to be graduated and begin their careers in business, industry, and the professions. This department of university activity can be of major importance to business and industry and of positive service to the graduate who hopes for maximum opportunity in his initial business association. Major changes in human relations in industry have occurred in"recent years, and will, in my judgment, continue after the war period. This broad field affords opportunities for men and women with proper background, aptitude, and training. Some constructive thought might be given to courses of industrial relations in our leading universities. It is the responsi- bility of industry to inaugurate comprehensive training programs in human relations for supervision and management groups in addition to continuing courses in vocational and functional education. This may present another opportunity for industry and education to cooperate to advance progress in what we believe to be an increasingly important field of activity. The present generation has been given the two-fold assignment of winning the war and the peace. It is the responsibility of our nation to make available to this generation through our educational systems, the opportunities ίor acquiring the knowledge, the training, and the ideals necessary to assure world freedom and a lasting peace. LETTERS Subject to the usual restrictions of space and good taste, we shall print letters from subscribers on any side of any subject of interest to Cornellians. Ύhe A L U M N I N E W S often may not agree with the sentiments expressed, and disclaims any responsibility beyond that of fostering interest in the University. ITALIAN INVASION To THE EDITOR: Although we are now a long way from Ithaca, the thoughts of all Cornellians in my battalion often wander off to memories of the times we spent in Ithaca; how peaceful and unlike these times they all seem! We hive just gone through a mild form of hell and I am telling you this just so those at home don't think that all we do over here is drink exotic liquors and entertain the native women. All this excitement started on a pleas- ant evening in . A quarter-moon shone over the water as we embarked. No one was sorry to leave this place; you could see it in the faces of all the troops as they looked over their shoulders when they boarded ship. You could almost hear them say, "If I never see this place again, it will be too soon." Herman the German did not like all this, and he came over that night as we waited in the harbor. We couldn't see how many planes were bombing because of all the flak. It was just like the eve of the Battle of Sbeitla. Thousands of tracers, incendiaries, and flares lit the sky. It was better than a Fourth of July cele- bration. The "heavies" exploded di- rectly overhead and everyone went for their steel helmets. No one stayed below. It was too good a show. A roar went up from those on the port side as a German plane went down in flames. Some pieces of flak whizzed by and hit the deck. Someone yelled. The raid over, we got a few hours' sleep and sailed in the morning. This was the Big Show. We were all briefed, but we knew long before that we were to land in the morning inside Hitler's "Festung Europa." This was " D " d a y , and " H " hour was approaching! Our landing craft neared the Italian mainland. No breakfast this morning; no one was hungry. We could hear our Navy shelling the beach. The bell rang and all men went to the tank deck and mounted their vehicles. Tanks and tracks were unshackled and drivers held the emergency and foot brakes. The ventilators went on and the drivers raced their motors. Everything was waterproofed for the rush through the surf to the beach. My half track was the first vehicle to go off the ship. It was in the bow, right next to the big jaws of the craft. When those doors opened, tanks would pour out and the "party" would start. A sailor said we were 300 yards from shore. Someone else reported that the Germans were shelling the beach. Some doughboys had landed and were looking for a Jerry 88 and machine gun nests that were mowing down the men as they landed. It was dark on the tank deck. We could hear the Nazi shells hitting in the water all around us, and reports from topside verified this. We heard that one landing craft had turned back; it was too hot! "Two hundred yards from shore," yelled a sailor. I started munching on a chocolate bar. I was hungry all of a sudden. We all mopped our brows. It seemed awfully hot. A Naval officer shouted, "Hold tight, we're going to beach." The driver raced the motor. There was a jar and the ship stopped suddenly. This was invasion! I think we all aged ten years. The rest of the story would be censored, anyway. I will leave that for another more appropriate time. —Captain COLEMAN D. ASINOF '38 P.S. The Luftwaffe beat our track to the shore. Those minutes will never be forgotten. LAND G R A N T COLLEGES ELECT Dean Claude B. Hutchison, MSA '13, who was professor of Plant Breeding at the University from 1916-1.2. and now heads the college of agriculture at the University of California, was elected president of the Association of Land Grant Colleges at the annual meeting in Chicago, 111., the end of October. He succeeds President Edmund E. Day. Professor A. Wright Gibson '17, Director of Resident Instruction in Agriculture, became secretary of the subsection on resident teaching. Dean S. C. Hollister, Engineering, was appointed to the standing committee on instruction in engineering. Director Carl E. F. Guterman, PhD '30, of the Agricultural Experiment Station, was reappointed for two years to the committee on experiment station organization and policy. Professor Richard Bradfield, Soil Technology, continues as chairman of the Association's soil survey committee. NOVEMBER 1943 ENROLLMENT INCREASES Services Bring More Students Preliminary report of Registrar Eugene F. Bradford, as the winter term began November 3, was a University enrollment of 7,2.70 students. This number includes civilians and all Army and Navy students actually registered in the University, but does not include x^o student officers in the Naval Training School whose instruction is exclusively by the Navy staff nor the 100 Naval cadets and other groups on the Campus not registered. Number of registered students in Ithaca not in uniform is approximately 31,00, including about 100 Curtiss-Wright cadettes in Engineering. In addition, there are 1,680 Navy students in the V-12. program, of whom n o are Marines; approximately 300 student officers in the steam and Diesel engineering courses of the Naval Training School; and about 1,600 students in the various Army Specialized Training Programs, including approximately 100 men formerly in the advanced ROTC now returned to resume University work. In the V-12. registration are 342. new men, of whom 14 are Marines. The report indicates a total of 6,783 students in Ithaca, with 170 in the Nursing School and 317 in the Medical College in New York. Without allowance for duplicate registrations, the University total of 7,2.70 is exactly 799 greater than last fall's final figure of 6,471. Largest enrollment was 7,315 students in 1940-41. Numbers of regular civilian students reported in the various Colleges in Ithaca are: Agriculture, 395; Architecture, 47; Arts and Sciences, 1,045; Engineering, 587; Home Economics, 483; Hotel Administration, 53; Law School, 30; Veterinary, 47; Graduate School, 2.13. The Army has taken over the Delta Chi house on the Knoll as barracks for the former ROTC men who have come back. They mess in Willard Straight Hall. These men, most of whom had completed their Junior year when they were ordered out last spring, will continue their University courses and will be assigned to officer candidate schools when there are vacancies. Thirty-seven fraternity houses are now occupied by the Army and Navy, and seven others are leased by the University to house women students. Women students this fall number 1,906, besides the Curtiss-Wright cadettes. They are housed inBalch Halls, Prudence Risley Hall, Risley Cottage; in University owned cottages at 1, 2., 3, and 4 The Circle, 5 Reservoir Avenue, 3ox and 308 Wait Avenue, xoγ and 1x5 Fall Creek Drive, and 410 and 413 Dryden Road; houses rented at 301 and 305 Wyckoff Avenue; and in the former fraternity houses of Theta Xi, Pi Lambda Phi, Phi Kappa Psi, and Seal and Serpent along Thurston Avenue, Alpha Gamma Rho and Kappa Delta Rho on Highland Avenue, and Tau Kappa Epsilon on Westbourne Lane. The University operates dining rooms for women in the two dormitories and in the former Theta Xi, Phi Kappa Psi, and Seal and Serpent houses. CLEVELAND WOMEN ELECT Mrs. Stanley Wilcox (Eloise Dresser) '12. was elected president of the Cornell Women's Club of Cleveland, Ohio, at a meeting held last month at the home of Mrs. J. William Conner (Margaret Sturm) '35. Other officers elected are Mrs. Charles S. Mills (Lucy E. Ross) 'i5, vice-president; Mrs. Conner, secretary; and Mrs. Edward L. Clayton (Geraldine Mason) '39, treasurer. SAN FRANCISCO SPEAKERS Seventeen members of the Cornell Club of Northern California, meeting for luncheon October 6 at the Commercial Club in San Francisco, heard Naval Architect E. M. Breingan speak on postwar shipping and ship-building. November 3, twenty-three members heard John H. Anderton, production manager of the Marinship yards, speak on the power resources of Japan. President Seibert L. Sefton 'i9 introduced the speakers. GUBB ADDRESSES CLUB Forty members of the Cornell Club of Philadelphia, Pa., meeting for luncheon in Kugler's Restaurant November 5, heard Larry E. Gubb Ί 6 , president of the Alumni Association, outline the Association's activities and plans. Walter W. Buckley '2.6, president of the Club, presided, and announced George Munger, coach of the Pennsylvania football team, as the guest speaker for the next meeting, December 3. THEY WORK FOR ALUMNI Alumni Trustee Albert R. Mann '04 (left) is chairman of the subcommittee on alumni relations of the new Trustee committee on University planning and development. He is greeted by Larry E. Gubb Ί 6 , president of the Cornell Alumni Association. CORNELL SUN SUSPENDS Replaced by University Bulletin The Cornell Sun has suspended publication for the^ duration of the war, the last college newspaper in the East to go under. Founded in 1880, only once before has The Sun been eclipsed while the University was in session, for three months in the fall of 1918. It appeared three mornings a week through the summer term, but faced with the prospect of rising costs and decreasing income, the directors of the corporation decided it was not feasible to continue on the old basis. Wartime successor to The Sun is The Cornell Bulletin, published by the University weekly on Fridays, beginning November 5, and distributed ίree on the Campus. Total circulation of 6,000 is planned, including the former mail subscribers of The Sun and the University Calendar, which The Bulletin now includes. Associated Press service and comic strips have been discontinued in favor of complete coverage of University news, but the crossword puzzle remains. The "undergraduate Sun board elected in October, headed by Guinevere G. Griest '44 of Chicago, 111., the first woman editor-in-chief, and William G. Gerow '44 of Evanston, 111., business manager, continues to function. News offices are in Willard Straight Hall. Miss Jessica Holland, who has run The Sun office since 1910, remains as office manager, temporarily at 109 East State Street. In the same tabloid format as The Sun, the first issue of The Cornell Bulletin had twelve pages and was rich in advertisements. Its introductory editorial said, in part: "What is the difference between The Sun and The Bulletin? Essentially it resolves to the fact that The Sun was an individual corporation, financially independent from the University; whereas The Bulletin is backed by University money, and it is this fact that enables it to be presented free to every member of the University community. Editorials in The Sun could take vigorous stands on local issues; editorials in The Bulletin may be more reserved in dealing with controversial material. . . . N o , this is not an elaborate University calendar. It is a Cornell newspaper devoted exclusively to Cornell news. Every student and service man and Faculty member on the Campus is a member of its staff, and all are invited to present news . . . "The Sun is not dead: it is merely in a state of temporary hibernation. . . . When other lights go on again, you may be sure that The Sun will once more blaze forth from its customary spot in the Cayugan heavens." CORNELL ANNUALS, INC. was dissolved last month. A 1944 Cornellian appears increasingly unlikely. i 7 6 CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS BOOKS By Cornelians NEW YORK FRUSTRATION Rusty Carrousel. By Francis Sylvin. E. P. Dutton & Co. New York City, 1943, 381 pages. $z.75 "Francis Sylvin" is a compound of Frances Wexler (Mrs. Alex Schwartz) 'x3 and Sylvia S. Bernstein (Mrs. William Seaman) '2.x. Their novel, Rusty Carrousel, is concerned with the unhappy and distorted life of Stephanie Camill, a substitute teacher who is batted around by the New York City public school system and by a succession of men interested primarily in her gender and partly in her salary. She never does get a husband, though she tries pretty hard, and she is certainly not the girl to live alone and like it. And you can hardly blame her. Anyone who is faced with a succession of family irritations, emotional upheavals, and the unmitigated cruelty, noise, and filth of slum school children doesn't invite envy. You can almost excuse Stephanie for feeling so constantly sorry for herself. Sections of this book offer a rather serious indictment of the public school system, though most of the abuses here described are well known. The authors seem to know whereof they speak, for there is a wealth of realistic (i.e. unpleasant) detail and most of it sounds authentic. There are also frequent references to Cornell, to a carnelian Class ring, and to a hypothetical "Cornell Committee," which urges this beleaguered "i9^5er" to recapture "the good old days on the Hill" at the big "Rally Dinner." Stephanie isn't having any, as you might expect. COOPER ON EDUCATION (Continued from page iγβ') body, and face eternal life. Death is not new. But perhaps we feel this value of the Bible more especially now, when young men, and men still in their prime, have died fast, are dying, and will die. It is for us a solace if the Bible gives our dying friends a better look ahead than the dying Japanese and Germans have through any cult of Hitler or Bushido. The trouble with most schemes of education is that they blink the important thing, though it is right before their eyes. Our scheme of public" education in America is an unreligious scheme. The best thing that ever came to this earth was Christianity. What do we do with it in school? In the field it is different; but at home, they say, more than half of our young officers are not clear in mind what we are fighting for, though they are bound to win. No wonder, when our literary courses treat the Bible as if God, and Christ, and immortality did not matter. But Hitler and his fellow-pagan Yamashita know what they are fighting. It is Christian culture. That Christian, Viscount Halifax, well knows what we are fighting for, and what our foes desire to ruin, our faith in the immortal brotherhood of man proceeding from one Father. General MacAfthur also knows what he is fighting for, our Christian culture, and is not afraid to say so. Religion and its fellow, education, are what our sons are fighting for, and dying for, in this purge of all the nations. If we let our universities and churches spoil, if we let our effort to destroy the enemy destroy our religion or our education, what will there be left to fight for? If before the war our education was approximately what it should have been, let us preserve it; if not, let us study to improve it, not because of this war only or the one before it, but because of the eternal war of light on darkness. CHICAGO HEARS GAME Members of the Cornell Club of Chicago, 111., were guests of the Colgate Club with a special wire at the Sherman Hotel to bring reports of the football game in Syracuse, October 2.3. An enjoyable time is reported by the Cornellians present, in spite of the score. Scheduled speaker for the regular Thursday luncheon of the Cornell Club October 11 was Lieutenant Commander Richard P. Matthiessen Ί 8 , USNR, recently back from duty in the South Pacific. He was unable to appear, however, being ordered to duty. SERVICE ALUMNAE SPEAK First fall meeting of the Cornell Women's Club of New York brought 130 alumnae to the Club rooms in the Hotel Barbizon October 13, to hear four Cor- nellian officers in the women's uniformed services of the United States describe their respective branches. Among the first women commissioned, all four speak- ers described their training as officers and told of the work of their services. Captain Alice G. Gordon '2.7, in com- mand of the WAC recruiting detachment for Rhode Island, spoke for her branch, as did Lieutenant Marguerite Hicksfx6, WAVES; Lieutenant (jg) Caroline A. Lester 'i4, SPAR; and First Lieutenant Helen E. Perrell 'x5, procurement officer for the Eastern division of the Women's Reserve, US Marine Corps. ' As a free-lance travel writer and lecturer, Lieutenant Perrell travelled 2.00,000 miles around the world before America entered the war. She visited North Africa,' Guadalcanal, the China Coast, Port Said, Singapore, and was in Shanghai in 1940 when the Japanese occupied the International Settlement. TIME WAS . . . Twenty-five Years Ago November, 1918—Ithaca celebrated the Armistice November 11 with parades and much noise. Students took the day off. The mayor proclaimed the following day a holiday, and the University was officially closed that afternoon. . . . Despite the Armistice, the SATC will continue its military and academic work until further notice from the War Department. Ithaca's share of the recent influenza epidemic amounted to 1,2.84 cases last month, not counting students and service men. . . . Trolley fare is shortly to be increased from six to seven cents. Former President Andrew D. White left about one-third of his estate, valued at $900,000, to the University. This includes his house on East Avenue, other real estate, his library, and paintings, sculpture, and other furnishings already installed in Risley Hall, the Library, and other University buildings. Fifteen Years Ago November, 19x8—The Sun publishes the names of seventy-four recalcitrant Freshmen who refuse to purchase and wear Frosh caps. No further punitive action is considered. . . . The University will soon have its own radio station, having been granted a broadcasting permit by the Federal Radio Commission. Morse Hall's first art exhibit opened last week. Paintings by such modern masters as Daniel Garber, Edward Redfield, Robert Henri, and Childe Hassam are on display, having been loaned by the Macbeth Galleries in New York City. . . . Thirty-five Juniors in Hotέl Administration made their sixth annual excursion to New York City last week. Taking over the management of the Astor, they stretched a ninety-foot Cornell banner across Times Square. After losing to Princeton and playing scoreless ties with Columbia and St. Bonaventure on successive Saturdays, Cornell was beaten, 2.8-0, by Dartmouth, November 17 on Schoellkopf Field. . . . The Siin's judgment: "When football ceases to be merely a physical exercise and becomes the criterion by which the value of a college is judged, then the sport has outgrown its usefulness and should be abolished. Cornell does not need winning teams for school spirit, nor victorious athletes as a lure for more students.'' CONCERT INFORMATION Department of Music has published a six-page folder announcing the Bailey Hall concerts for 1943-44, including pictures and biographies of the artists and information concerning tickets. The folder will be sent on request to the Music Department, 3^0 Wait Avenue, Ithaca. NOVEMBER 15, I943 177 Concerts this season will be by Richard Crooks, tenor, November 13; Hans Kindler conducting the National Symphony Orchestra, December 11; Egon Petri, University Pianist-in-residence, January 8; Erich Leinsdorf conducting the Cleveland Orchestra, March 14; Robert Kitain, violinist, April 1; and Rudolph Serkin, pianist, April 2.9. CONSIDER ALUMNI GRANTS A special committee of the Cornell Alumni Association appointed fo consider Alumni Regional Scholarships met in Ithaca October 30 with its chairman, Charles H. Blair, Jr. '97, presiding. All Cornell Clubs which have supported Regional Scholarships were invited to send representatives, and besides the members of the committee Eugene C. Batchelar Όx, chairman of the scholarships committee, Cornell Club of Pittsburgh, Pa., was present; Marvin R. Dye '17, scholarships chairman, Cornell Club of Rochester; William H. Hill '2.1, Cornell Club of Trenton and McMullen Scholarship representative for New Jersey; Bernard A. Savage '15, scholarship chairman, and Frederic C. Wood 'x4, Cornell Club of New York; and Warren R. Bentley 'x6, president, Cornell Club of Syracuse. Members of the committee who attended are William S. Peace '04 of Philadelphia, Pa., Alumni Trustee Robert E. Treman '09, and Professor Frederick G. Marcham, PhD 'x6, History. Also present were Professor John C. Adams 'x5, English, who is carrying on secondary school relations with Clubs, Secretary Edward K. Graham, PhD '38, of the University, and Walter C. Heasley, Jr. '30, acting Alumni Secretary. Experience with Alumni Regional Scholarships since they were established in 1935 was thoroughly reviewed and discussed, and the committee decided to draft new standards and regulations. for these Scholarships, in consultation with University and Alumni Office officials. It was agreed that qualifications should remain essentially those of the Rhodes Scholarships, as they have been in the past. A report made in 1940 showed that fifty-one students had then received Alumni Regional Scholarships with grants from Cornell Clubs totalling $41 ,135. Since then, a decreasing number have been granted each year. In June, 1938, President Edmund E. Day promulgated to all Cornell Clubs "A Tentative Standard for Alumni Regional Scholarships," and in August, 1938, a committee of the Cornell Alumni Corporation adopted regulations to govern their award. To assist in revising these standards and regulations, the present Alumni Association committee asks for suggestions from all interested alumni. Such suggestions may be sent to Walter C. Heasley, Jr., Alumni House, Ithaca. NOW IN MY TIME! *Έy Romeyn Berry Anxious old grads keep asking us questions we can't answer. One recent question deals with changes in the Tempora et Mores brought about by the sudden appearance in our midst of 4,000odd soldiers, sailors, and Marines. We don't get about as much as we used to and, being a conscientious reporter; we refuse to print hearsay. Anything you get in this column about present-day social customs is eye-witness stuff and the pure quill. But we suspect that interested alumni would be safe in assuming that if Patsy Conway were still giving band concerts at Renwick Park, a student (High School, Ithaca College, or Cornell) would do better to stay home and study for his next prelim. He wouldn't do himself a bit of good going down there. He couldn't make any time and the Armed Forces would just push him off Captain Jarvis's pier into the Lake. For illustration: Last Sunday afternoon in response to the clamorous demands of the youngest member of our family, we stepped into a candy store on Aurora Street kept by a (you've guessed it) Greek named (again you've guessed it) Chacona. Our mission there was to purchase a five-cent ice cream cone of any flavor' they had, provided it was strawberry. Mr. Chacona was out, but the Fleet was certainly in! All tables, chairs, benches, and ottomans appeared to be occupied by sailors accompanied by old friends they'd just met. The dozen waitresses, soda jerks, and ice cream dispensers, who were working feverishly and exclusively in the interests of the Navy, showed pretty clearly (1) that they had not yet begun to fight, (z) that they had no intention of giving up the ship, and (3) that our chances of getting a five-cent strawberry ice cream cone before taps were remote. No one was the least bit impolite, but it was obvious that this was no time or place for a civilian. We told that to two nice high school lads who said they'd been waiting an hour for a pair of banana splits, and the two young ladies they had brought in there but who had apparently joined the Navy. When we surrendered and left to try a less nautical joint, the two boys were debating as to whether they'd go home and leave the girls flat, or enlist. You'll have to build up your own theory from that one incident. But you ought to get a pretty fair picture of Ithaca under military occupation if you think hard and try to recall the Band Fairs at the Lyceum, firemen's conventions, the Elks' Minstrels, and summer night concerts at Renwick.

But not after the Mummy Club arrived! There was something about those Mummy Club hats the girls fell for. Well, Mummy Club hats wouldn't be worth a dime a carload any more for this particular purpose. It's uniforms they're falling for now. At least, that's the conclusion we came to last Sunday at Chacona's, and that stands as our official report to the alumni on the Tempora et Mores. NEW YORK WOMEN'S TEA Thirty-six members of the Cornell Women's Club of New York attended a tea at the Barbizon Hotel October 2.7, and heard Mrs. Joel G. Sayre, Jr. (Gertrude Lynahan) 'z.2. of the motion picture division of the Office of Inter-American Affairs speak on her department's work with the countries of South America. She showed two of its films. Hostesses were Ruth Irish '2.2. and Charlotte Gristede 'Z9. WOMEN LEARN OF CHINA Cornell Women's Club of Ithaca, at a tea in the Balch Hall recreation room November 3, entertained five Chinese graduate students at the University, Yuan Ying Stella Cheng, Mei Yun Li, Mrs. Chia Wei Chang, and Fung Ting Fung and Fung Haan Fung, twins. Helen Van Valkenburg '34 introduced these speakers and Mrs. Montgomery H. Throop (Elizabeth Nichols) '05, who described her experience in China, and Donald C. Kerr Ί z , who spoke about the Cosmopolitan Club. ARMY STUDENTS VARIED Students in the basic course of the Army Specialized Training Program at the University, though not as numerous as their counterparts in the Navy V-iz program, have come from a greater variety of colleges and universities. Representing thirty-five States and Mexico, the ASTP students come from 132. colleges, compared to ninety for the V-iz's. City College of New York heads the list for the basic students with fifty-six representatives, followed by Brooklyn College with thirty-four, New York University with twenty-seven, and Cornell with ten. Ninety-eight institutions have single representatives. Candidates for the US Military Academy come from fifteen States, represent fifteen colleges and universities and an equal number of secondary schools. More come from the District of Columbia than from any other section. Pre-medical students in ASTP come from twenty-four States and fifty-seven colleges. More than half of the basic course students entered the training program from secondary schools, several hundred of which are represented, where they About ATHLETICS TWO FOOTBALL VICTORIES The football team, undergoing almost daily revision, rolled to two more victories: a 33-6 romp over Columbia October 30 and a 13-0 decision over Penn State November 6. Both games were played on Schoellkopf Field. Attendance went to the season's extremes for home contests: less than 4,000 for Columbia, more than 7,000 for Penn State. The games were played before and after the opening of a new term November 1 for both Navy and civilian players. Results of examinations and the registration of new students were reflected in the Cornell lineup. Many Team Changes William S. Maceyko, USNR, left halfback, one of the country's leading ground gainers, played the first half of the Columbia game. When he left the game Cornell was ahead, 2.6-0. The following Monday Maceyko was transferred to the Naval Training Station at Sampson, Coach Snavely describing him as "the finest back I've ever had at Cornell." In the Sampson backfield November 6, Maceyko ran back one kickoff ninetythree yards to score and made another touchdown in a 55-0 rout of the York, Pa., Vikings. Maceyko's place for Cornell against Columbia was taken by Allen E. Dekdebrun '47 of Buffalo, who turned out to be a capable replacement, if not as consistent a ground gainer. Dekdebrun, who had played for Columbia against Maine in the opening game of the 1942. season and who shortly thereafter withdrew from Columbia, figured largely in the fifty-two-yard march that led to Cornell's fifth touchdown against his former team. He did an even better job against Penn State, completing five of fourteen passes and throwing the aerial that produced the first touchdown. When Cornell lost to Colgate in Archbold Stadium, Syracuse, October 2.3, one of the reserves on the Colgate bench was Edward Schneider of New York City, a fullback. He was transferred to Cornell as a Naval Aviation cadet and immediately reported for football. He saw some action in the Columbia game as a substitute for Frank J. Accorsi, USNR, of Latrobe, Pa., and intercepted one Columbia pass. Schneider started at fullback against Penn State and played most of the game. He averaged five yards the thirteen times he carried the ball, including one twentynine-yard dash through the center of the rugged State line, and caught one pass for a gain of sixteen yards. Eggertsville, still playing with his right thumb in a cast, started both games at quarterback. Howard W. Blose '43, USNR, of Dayton, Ohio, started at right halfback against Columbia, but gave way to Guy H. Nichols, USMCR, of Haverhill, Mass., in the Penn State game. Blose played a good share of the latter game, and in both contests scored three touchdowns. As of November 6, he was the East's leading scorer with ten touchdowns worth 60 points. To replace Anthony J. LaScala, a Naval Aviation cadet who was transferred to pre-flight school, Coach Carl Snavely switched Donald S. Cushing '45 of Eggertsville, brother of the captain, from center to left end. When Thomas A. Blackburn, USMCR, of Lynn, Mass., center, was hurt early in Columbia game, Donald Cushing moved back to center. Blackburn recovered sufficiently to start the Penn State game, but again was hurt. This time Captain Meredith Cushing returned to center. With John M. Tully '46 of Memphis, Tenn., on the injured list, Coach Snavely quickly switched James Carter, recently acquired as a Naval Aviation cadet, from guard, where he had appeared briefly against Columbia, to end, where he played most of the Penn State game. The tackle slots were unchanged with Harry B. Furman, USNR, of Elmira, on the left side, and Ralph C. Calcagni, USMCR, of Smithton, Pa., on the right. The starting guards in both games were Nelson E. Hubbell, USNR, of Buffalo, and George E. Williams '45 of Dover, NJ. Cornell 33, Columbia 6 Cornell scored within five minutes in the Columbia game, Blose breaking loose around right end from the 31-yard line. Norman Dawson, Jr. '46 of Oak Park, 111., the placekicking specialist, failed to convert. Donald Cushing intercepted a pass to set up Cornell's next scoring chance, with a holding penalty putting the ball on Cornell's 48-yard line. Eight plays put the ball across, with Murdo G. MacDonald, USMCR, of South Ryegate, Vt., scoring from ten yards out on the endaround play. Dawson converted. Early in the second quarter, Schneider returned a punt eight yards to Cornell's 33-yard line, and the team moved inexorably overland to score in eleven plays, with Accorsi counting from the 3-yard line. Dawson's placekick was good. Just before the half ended, MacDonald repeated his scoring specialty, this time from the 9-yard line to climax a fortyseven-yard march, with Dekdebrun the top ground gainer along the way. Dawson converted for the third time. Columbia rallied early in the second half and drove fifty-one yards for a score. The spurt was touched off by ApeΓs NOVEMBER 15, 1943 finally crashed over from the z-yard line. LaScala blocked Miller's placekick. Cornell rolled fifty-seven yards for the final touchdown, with Accorsi, Blose, and Dekdebrun running the ball to make a first down on Columbia's 2.-yard line. The Lions threw Cornell back to the 9-yard stripe on the next play, but Dekdebrun's two thrusts recovered the lost ground. On fourth down he pitched a scoring pass to Nichols. Dawson's placekick made the final score 33-6. Cornell 13, Penn State 0 The Penn State encounter was one of the season's most exciting games, principally because the spectators never knew what would happen next; what with a blocked kick, five fumbles, and four intercepted passes. This game brought back to action three former Cornell players: Charles P. Weiss '44 of Putnam, Conn., a halfback; Charles R. Davidson '46 of Tarentum, Pa., tackle; and James B. Salisbury '44 of New York City, guard. Davidson is in the Marine Corps Reserve. Furman started the extraordinary proceedings by blocking a punt and recovering the ball on Penn State's 8-yard line. The visitors held for downs on the 12.yard stripe. Price's punt rolled dead on State's 4-yard line. Dekdebrun backed up to pass, pursued by Penn State linesmen. He calmly ducked under a tackier, picked his target, and let fly. The target, Blose, caught the ball on the 8-yard line, pushed Price away, and crossed for the touchdown. Dawson's placekick was knocked aside. Thus Cornell had a touchdown in four minutes and τ^ seconds. It was not to score again until the fourth period on another extraordinary play. Penn State had the ball on its 18-yard line when Veneroso moved back to pass, hotly pursued by MacDonald. They went crashing to earth on the 7-yard line with MacDonald, not Veneroso, hugging the ball. Before Penn State could recover from this blow, Blose circled right end for a touchdown and Dawson converted. In between those two scores, Cornell had to hustle to hold the initiative. The teams traded fumbles immediately after the first touchdown, deep in Cornell territory, and Price ran a pass interception thirty-two yards to Cornell's 2.3-yard stripe. Veneroso threw a pass to Cenci to Cornell's 9-yard line, but Cornell held for downs on the 4-yard marker. In the second period, Cornell rolled sixty-nine yards to Penn State's 9-yard line. On the way, one Dekdebrun-toBlose pass netted twenty-two yards. Another, on fourth down, missed, and Penn State took the ball on downs. As the second half started, Penn State moved from its 2.7-yard line to Cornell's 8, largely on Sisler's pass to Trumbull for thirty-eight yards, but was stopped and thrown back to the Cornell 14. Then came MacDonald's recovery of the ball from Veneroso, and the second touchdown. But the game wasn't over. Price threw a pass to Sisler from the Penn State zoyard line, and only Blose's tremendous speed saved a touchdown. Blose nailed Sisler on Cornell's 13. On fourth down, Dekdebrun intercepted a flank pass and ran to Penn State's 39-yard stripe as the game ended. PENN GAME BROADCASTS Cornell-Pennsylvania football game will be broadcast by Byrum Saam for the Atlantic Refining Co. and will be carried by the following stations: KDKA, Pittsburgh; WCAU, Philadelphia; WEEU, Reading; WKBO, Harrisburg; WORK, York; WJPA, Washington, Pa.; WCED, Du Bois, Pa.; WERC, Erie; WDEL, Wilmington, Del.; WJEJ, Hagerstown, Md.; WOR, New York; WHEC, Rochester; WENY, Elmira; WHCU, Ithaca; WJAC, Johnstown, Pa.; WFBG, Altoona; WMRF, Lewistown, Pa.; WISR, Butler; WEST, Easton; WMBS, Uniontown; WKST, New Castle; WFPG, Atlantic City, N.J.; WFBR, Baltimore; WBOC, Salisbury, Md.; WGR, Buffalo; WAGE, Syracuse; WNBF, Binghamton. A request to the Athletic Office from the Army News Service for information about the team indicates that the game may be broadcast by short wave for members of the overseas forces. SOCCER TEAM WINS The soccer team won its fourth victory November 6, beating the University of Rochester, 1-0, on Alumni Field. George Bailey, USNR, center forward, scored the goal fifteen minutes after the game started. The team's record is now four victories and one tie. CROSS COUNTRY LAST The cross country team lost to the US Military Academy, 36-19, at Ithaca October 30, then placed fifth and last in the Heptagonal Games Association's annual five-mile run in Van Cortlandt Park, New York City, November 6. Truxes of the Academy won both races. He was timed in z6:i^ for the Ithaca course of approximately 4 f miles. Everett F. Perryman '44 of Sheridan, Wyo., placed second to Truxes, about 2.50 yards back. Truxes was timed in 2.7:45.6 in the Heptagonaίs. Perryman, first to finish for Cornell, placed ninth in 2.9:30. Dartmouth won team honors with 2.5 points. The Academy scored 45, Columbia 81, Princeton 101, and Cornell 106. Dartmouth thus gained the second of three legs required to retire the Junius T. Auerbach '90 Trophy. BASKETBALL STARTS EARLY Two days after the football season ends with the Pennsylvania game in Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Day, November 2.5, the basketball team will make its debut in Barton Hall, starting a twentygame schedule. Practice started November 1 and a week later Coach -Emerald B. Wilson said he had not yet separated the wheat from the chaff because of the large squad. Wilson, assisted by Robert J. Kane '34, Acting Director of Physical Education and Athletics, and Harrison Sanford, rowing coach, has been handling a squad of 100 men. J. Russell Murphy, assistant coach, will help Wilson when the football season ends. On the squad are five men who played for Cornell last season, headed by Roger D. Booze '45 of Cincinnati, Ohio, now in the Naval Reserve. Booze was the only one of the five rated a regular last year. He played center. Others who saw action a year ago are William F. Hunt '45 of Lansdowne, Pa., Harry C. Middleton III '46 of Narberth, Pa., John T. Parrett '44 of St. Joseph, Mich., and Howard A. Parker, Jr. '44 of Tulsa, Okla. Hunt and Middleton are in the Marine Corps Reserve, Parrett in the Naval Reserve. Another experienced player, Harry L. Hilleary, Jr. '43 of Webster Groves, Mo., a Naval Reservist, was lost to the squad when he threw his knee, injured in early football practice, out of joint. Also on the squad is Larry Davis, Pennsylvania's captain-elect. The schedule this year calls for competition in a five-team Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League with Columbia, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, and Princeton, and Cornell's first appearance in Madison Square Garden, to meet Long Island University, March 1. Oklahoma and New York University will play the other half of a double-header. The schedule: November τη Pine Camp at Ithaca December 4 Columbia at Ithaca 11 Dartmouth at Hanover 18 Pennsylvania at Philadelphia 2.9 Connecticut University at Ithaca January 1 Princeton at Ithaca 8 Pennsylvania at Ithaca 11 Rochester at Ithaca 15 Columbia at New York 19 Canisius at Ithaca TΛ.

In earlier pick-up games, Cornell's cadets had the services of Stanley Skaug, Dartmouth's captain last year. i 8 o CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS WOMEN'S CLUB ELECTS Lois M. Dusinbury '2.6 is the new president of the Cornell Women's Club of Delaware Valley, N. J., succeeding Mrs. Emery Meschter (Emily Bostwick) '31. Mrs. William H. Hill (May Thropp) '2.0, is the new vice-president; Mrs. Chester C. Cooke (J. Kathryn Francis) Ί 6 , secretary; and Mrs. Richard L. Predmore (Catherine Pennock) '35, treasurer. FORECAST AIR COMMERCE The October issue of Air Transportation contains articles by two Cornellians, Trustee John L. Collyer '17, president of the B. F. Goodrich Co., and William Littiewood 'xo, vice-president of engineering for American Airlines. Discussing "the inevitability of cargo transport by air as a prominent feature of post-war commerce," Collyer says the world will emerge from an air war into an "air peace." Even now, "the Air Transportation Command flies more than a million pounds of cargo a week; its giant cargo ships have made trips from this continent to England in nine hours and from Australia to California in thirty-three and one-half hours. . . . Cargo carried into the fighting zone by the ATC has ranged from plasma and vaccine and drugs to jeeps and light tanks. . . . Eventually, and perhaps not too remotely, we may see great trains of towed gliders darkening the skies, mammoth flying wings transporting huge volumes of freight, helicopters delivering packages practically from door to door." Collyer cites some of the advances already made by science and industry toward developing the super-cargo ships of the future, mentioning particularly the de-icer invented by Dr. William C. Geer *cα, former vice-president of B. F. Goodrich, necessary for planesflyingthe new air route over the Arctic circle. For "the sound development of air transportation as a private enterprise," Littlewood suggests that transport planes for both passengers and cargo be limited to four types, using but two types of "power eggs" and otherwise standardized wherever possible. Airplanes as small as ten-passenger capacity, he says, are not economically justified for commercial lines, but for feeder lines from small airports he suggests helicopters or "more remotely, the pick-up glider." His four standardized airplanes are a local-schedule, two-engine plane carrying twenty-five to thirty passengers and completely convertible to cargo use; a fourengine plane with the same motors, to carry forty to fifty passengers on limitedstop service of 500-1,000 miles, 50 per cent convertible to cargo use; the largest possible two-engine plane, carrying fifty to sixty passengers over high-passengerdensity routes of 150-300 miles, 30 percent convertible to cargo use; and a 300-mile-an-hour four-engine plane with day and night accommodations for longrange service up to 3,000 miles, completely adaptable for cargo. FRESHMEN WIN AWARDS Eighteen Freshmen entering the College of Agriculture November 1 have been awarded scholarships on the basis of their high school records of scholarship, character, and leadership.

Fish, son of Louis W. Fish Ί i of Salt Point; David H. Huntington, son of Lowell S. Huntington '19 of Westford; and James F. Reeves, Jr., son of James F. Reeves '15 of Baldwinsville. Other winners of this scholarship are Harold E. Barnes of Avoca, Kenneth A. Cox of Walworth, Walter E. Lehman of Castorland, Clyde R. Welch of Eden, Eugene Worden of Swain, and Duane Zonneville of Williamson. Hollis A. Hatfield of Ithaca won the New York State Bankers' 4-H Club Scholarship, worth $150. Gustav F. Papanek of New York City, Agnes K. Smith of Hagaman, and John A. Wenrich of Ithaca were awarded Roberts Scholarships, worth $110. Non-resident tuition scholarships were awarded to Althea E. Channing of Reading, England, Norma G. Goldsmith of Brooklyn, AnneR. Hambelm of Newark, N. J., and Alan D. Stevens of Nashua, N. H. CORNELLIANS MEET IN IRAN Captain John M. Klar '38, Veterinary Corps, (left) attached to a District Surgeon's Office in the Persian Gulf Service Command, writes that his meeting with Captain Richard E. Weber Ί 8 , Engineer Corps, in Iran, and their nightly reminiscences "sort of take one's mind off the terrific heat, sand storms, mosquitoes, and Spam." RECORDS INCREASE Forseeing in July, 1942., that military demands would bring an unprecedented number of requests for the academic records of students, George D. Haupin Ί 6 , Assistant Registrar of the University, had installed in his office a new machine to photostat record cards at the rate of a print a minute. During the year ended last July 30, his office supplied 15,464 such transcripts; nearly double the 7,975 of 1941-42. and more than three times the average of other recent years. The new photostat produces with absolute accuracy about twice as many transcripts in a day as four or five typists did before, Haupin says. The increased demand has been largely for the records of men going into military service, to officer candidate schools, and for training at other colleges and universities. Haupin's report of transcripts supplied during the last two years shows the largest increase last February, when many members of the Army Enlisted Reserve were ordered to active duty: July August September October November December January February March April May June 1941-42 1942-43 358 MS* 500 1,178 483 1,041 430 1,111 32.5 610 2.90 601 1,000 747 867 2.,2-i9 I>°73 2-JI45 781 1,110 789 913 1,079 M 9 7 Total 7,975 15,464 MORE "E" AWARDS An electrolytic zinc smelting unit designed and constructed by the American Zinc, Lead & Smelting Co. of St. Louis, Mo., of which Munroe F. Warner Ί i is consulting engineer, won the Army-Navy " E " in October, 1942.. The Benrus Watch Co. of WaterburyConn., which for the past four years has been making mechanical time fuze and anti-aircraft fuze components and other precision instruments, was awarded the Army-Navy burgee for outstanding production of war materials October 2.2., 1943. Benjamin Ozaroff 'ΊΛ. is general manager of the company. His son, Richard E. Ozaroff '46, is an aviation cadet in the Army Air Corps. The David Bell Co., Inc. of Buffalo, manufacturing automatic screw machine products, won the " E " award November 2.. William J. Dugan '07, former Graduate Manager of Athletics and Secretary of the University, is vice-president of the company. The Mid-West Forging & Manufacturing Co. of Chicago, 111., won the Army-Navy " E " award October 8, for its outstanding production of forgings for armor-piercing projectiles. The first Chicago Heights firm to be so honored, it won the Army Ordnance banner last NOVEMBER 15, 1943 March. Jay L. Hench '07 is president of the company. Consolidated Engineering Co., Inc., of Baltimore, Md., won the Army-Navy production award for outstanding performance in wartime construction at the Naval Air Station, Patuxent River, Cedar Point, Md. John A. Stalfort Ί o is president and his son, H. Alfred Stalfort '34, is project manager of the company, which began its war contracts in 1939 with construction of the Naval Air Station at San Juan, Puerto Rico. It has handled Naval construction on islands in the Caribbean, and has also held contracts with the Army, Coast Guard, Defense Plant Corp., Federal Works Agency and the Maritime Commission. MARYLAND MEETS STUDENTS Cornell Club of Maryland held its fall luncheon for undergraduate students at the Merchants Club in Baltimore October 19. Forty undergraduates and alumni were present. President Ralph Bolgiano '09 introduced Donald F. Stevens '05 and C. Stewart Fiske '2.1, who spoke briefly. Edward H. Carman III '44, son of Edward H. Carman, Jr. Ί 6 , and George J. Goldsborough, Jr. '45 responded for the undergraduates. MIDDLETOWN OFFICERS Mary L. McCutcheon '42. was elected president of the Cornell Women's Club of Middletown at the annual meeting October 2.5, at the home of Bessie M. Wallace '17. Mrs. Irving J. LeFevre (Grace M. Gifford) Ί 8 was elected secretary-treasurer. Guests included two undergraduates on vacation from the University, and five prospective Cornellians from Middletown High School. CORNELL ENGINEER J. Carlton Ward, Jr. '14, president of Fairchild Engine & Airplane Corp., writes the leading article in The Cornell Engineer for October, "Stukas Weren't Enough." He shows that Hitler is being beaten because, unlike Great Britain and America, Germany has not been able to change and improve the design of its weapons, ships, and planes rapidly enough to keep pace with the changing needs of the war. He urges that the United States continue the development of war materiel in time of peace, to prevent another war." Professor L. Donald Doty, Hydraulic Engineering, describes "A Trek in the Wake of Floods" which he took after the floods of last May in the Mississippi River valley and its tributaries, with assistance of the US Engineer Corps. James Lynah '05, in his first "President's Message" to the Cornell Society of Engineers, announces a plan for the Society to assist in obtaining needed equipment for the College of Engineering shops and laboratories when industry no longer needs it after the war. He says that a committee will be organized to direct this effort, in which it is hoped all Cornellians will participate. ESTATE TO CORNELL William C. White '93, who died July 18, made Cornell University the beneficiary of his estate, a tax appraisal filed in Surrogate's Court in Buffalo discloses. After a life benefit, the principal of his estate, estimated $83,000, will come to the University to endow scholarships for students of insufficient means. White practiced law for forty years in Buffalo, for a time associated with the late George C. Miller '87. He received the AB in 1893. NEW ENGLAND CELEBRATES Cornell Club of New England held a successful "Wash" September 19 at the home of President Charles M. Werly '2.7 in Wayland, Mass. He, with Secretary George S. Tompkins '96 and Treasurer Archie C. Burnett '90 were re-elected for another year. Randolph P. Rice '2.1, Milton G. Dexter '2.4, and Anthony O. Shallna Ί 6 were elected to fill vacancies on the board of governors. The Club had a block of tickets for the Cornell-Dartmouth game, November 13 in Fenway Park, Boston, and held a Reunion party after the game in the Hotel Puritan, 390 Commonwealth Avenue. WESTCHESTER WOMEN MEET Fourteen members of the Cornell Women's Club of Westchester County met October 16 in Bonwit Teller's penthouse in White Plains. The meeting was conducted by Juliette E. Way ^ 9 , president of the Club. Mrs. Georgina Halsey Schoof Ί o , recently elected a vice-president of the Federation of Cornell Women's Clubs, described the Federation secondary schools program of which she is in charge. Marion L. Leighton '35 was appointed chairman of the secondary schools committee of the Club and will appoint local sub-chairmen. Mrs. R. H. Shreve (Ruth Bentley) '02. spoke as chairman of a Federation committee to recommend candidates for the new office of assistant alumni secretary of the University. The Club appropriated $2.5 to the Federation Scholarship Fund. LANDING OF THE PILGRIMS By Hugh Troy '26 After rejecting many a Plymouth rock as too slippery or too treacherous, the Pilgrim Fathers made their memorable landfall here at Portland Point on the east shore of Cayuga Lake. This convenient cement block, with the date "162.0" already incised in current Roman numerals to celebrate their arrival, provided a tidy mooring for the Mayflower. Miss Priscilk Mullins, ship's hostess, is said to have originated the now classic "cheesecake" when she assumed this posture on the ship's rail for John Alden, her fellow tourist with the candid-camera. That the Cayuga Indians resented the, intrusion of these outlanders is evidenced by the brave with the equally candid-bow-and-arrow on the left. This is the fourth of our series of "Historical" murals of the Ithaca region and their descriptions, created by Hugh C. Troy, Jr. '2.6 for the Ithaca Yacht Club. τSί CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS FOUNDED 1899 3 EAST AVENUE ITHACA, N. Y. Published the first and fifteenth of every month.

Printed at the Cayuga Press, Ithaca, N. Y. NEW ASSISTANT EDITOR New name on our masthead this issue is that of Hannah F. Hartmanns '43. She received the BS in October, and has joined the staff as assistant editor. Miss Hartmanns has, in fact, been writing the news of alumni since September, replacing Mrs. Joseph Short (Patricia Mooney) '41, who resigned. Now she will also write the Faculty and Necrology columns, assist in proofreading and other editorial duties. Miss Hartmanns entered Home Economics in 1940 after a year at Queens College. She spent one term in 194Z-43 working as a drill press operator at the General Electric works in Lynn, Mass., and was a nurse's aide at the New York Orthopaedic Hospital, gaining thereby the point of view of the Cornellian away from Ithaca. She is a member of Pi Delta Gamma, women's honor society in journalism, and was editor of the Home Economics News. THE CHIMES GO ON! University Chimes staff for the winter term is headed by Robert H. Frankenfeld '45 of Buffalo, and includes also Gertrude E. Finley '45, daughter of David H. Finley '14 of Sherman, Tex., and Private Kenneth L. Campbell, USMCR, of Baldwin, who won a summer competition. Mrs. Fay McClelland (Phyllis Dittman) '43, Chimemistress last year, continued to play this summer, but has left now for war work in Washington, D.C. Announcement of Miss Dittman's election to the Chimes staff last year brought an interesting letter from Mrs. Dane Coolidge (Mary Roberts) '80 of Berkeley, Cal., who was probably the first woman to play the University Chimes. The daughter of the late Isaac P. Roberts, first Dean of Agriculture, Mrs. Coolidge recalls that the then Chimemaster, the late Franklin Matthews '83, taught her to play the bells and she occasionally substituted for him, but had to do it surreptitiously! She writes of one instance when she played the Chimes: "On a certain night, now forgotten, a professor's wife who was dangerously ill got up in her delirium and wandered away into the hills east of the University. The entire countryside was called out to hunt for her, and I remember that my father, Professor I. P. Roberts, came into our house to say that they wanted me to give; a signal on the Chimes when she should be found, in order to call the seekers in. The hunt went on all night, but just at sunrise I was told to give the signal. I ran up the Chimes tower and played one of the college tunes; which one I don't now remember. She was brought in, still bewildered, but afterward recovered from her illness." HE STUDIES TREES Major James E. Wilson '19, AC, port air officer in the South Pacific, who some twenty-five years ago took a course in wood technology given by Professor Arthur B. Recknagel, Forestry, wrote last month to order the textbook he had used in the course. " I am situated on an island in the South Pacific," his letter stated, "where a resumption of my study in wood identification would prove most useful and interesting. I therefore would appreciate it tremendously if you could arrange to send me this book." Professor Recknagel mailed the book, and wrote, " I am much gratified to learn that you remember with approval the course which you topk so many years ago in wood technology."

Swing in on one flank with increased production of war goods! Drive in on the other with redoubled purchases of War Bonds through your Pay-Roll Savings Plan! You're an officer in both of these drives. Your personal leadership is equally vital to both. But have you followed the progress of your Pay-Roll Savings Plan as closely as you have your production? Do you know about the new Treasury Department quotas for the current Pay-Roll Allotment Drive? Quotas running about 50% above theformer figures? You see, these new quotas are based on the fact that the armed forces need more money than ever to win the war, while the average worker has more money than ever before to spend. Particularly so, on a family income basis—since in so many families several members are working, now. Remember, the bond charts of today are the sales curves of tomorrow! Not only will these War Bonds implement our victory—they'll guard against inflation, and they'll furnish billions of dollars of purchasing power to help American business re-establish itself in the markets of peace. So get this new family income plan working at once. Your local War Finance Committee will give you all the details of the new plan. Act today! This advertisement prepared under the auspices of the War Advertising Council and the U. S. Treasury Department. LET'S KEEP ON Backing the Attack!
