WHIS K

OF CHARACTER

Whiskey's most precious ingredient

In the famous limestone waters of Kentucky's Bluegrass country is found a whiskey ingredient with a power almost magical. Because of it Schenίey V Kentucky whiskies are enriched in fragrant aroma and flavor. In only a few other sections throughout America do the waters possess similar magic power. And within those very limited sections you will find the distilleries of Schenley. For Schenley's old-time distillers know it takes the finest ingredients, as well as expert distilling, to deliver whiskies of character, worthy of the Schenley Mark of Merit. Try them—you'll find it true!

MORE NEWS NEXT WEEK
Our two-page Campus picture this week, with its accompanying historical sketch, has crowded out most of the current news and many of our usual features, and has greatly reduced the space available for items about alumni. Beginning next week, however, we shall again print more news items and news pictures, the page of brief Campus notes, editorials, Cornell Club reports, and such other features as Concerning the Faculty, Books by Cornellians, Necrology, Letters, and Coming Events, in which we usually bring you the news of Cornell.
As the number of our subscribers increases, we hope to be able to increase the size of an occasional issue to accommodate along with the news such special features as we give you this week, and to improve and enlarge the paper generally.
A limited number of extra copies of this week's issue have been printed. They will be given free with new subscriptions, upon request, while they last. Reprints of the Campus photograph, on heavy paper suitable for framing, may be obtained as explained on page 401.

SUMMER SESSION PLANS Opens July 6
The second year of the newly-coordinated University Summer Session, replacing the previous five independent schools, opens July 6 and continues through August 14. Under the direction of an administrative board headed by Director Loren C. Petry, some three
hundred courses will be given in seven colleges and schools of the University by a Faculty of 175 members. As in previous years, recreational opportunities will be offered along with university work which attracts many teachers, alumni, and undergraduates seeking advanced credit or improved knowledge in special fields.
Among the new courses to be given this year are several in Education, including the beginning of a three-year program for teachers of technical and vocational subjects who have had engineering training; a new course in dramatic production dealing with school and community plays; one in classical drama in translation; courses in current political problems in the Departments of Government, Economics, and Sociology; a new course in propaganda and public opinion in the Department of Rural Sociology; an advanced course in Ornithology, given by Professor Arthur A. Allen Ό8; and one in nuclear physics, by Professor F. Rasetti of the University
of Rome. In addition to the usual instruction in
the many subjects, several innovations of last year will be continued in 1936. These include the six-weeks' collaborative course in architectural and landscape design which begins in the College of Architecture June 2.9; advanced courses in quantitative micro-analysis and chemical microscopy, in the Department of Chemistry; and the unique discussion course on the philosophy and function of home making education conducted by the entire staff of the College of Home Economics. An increased number of twoweek unit courses in Hotel Administra-
tion begins June zz. This year's Physics symposium, to be
held the three days preceding the opening of the regular Summer Session, will deal with nuclear physics. The Department of Geology again offers a field course for advanced students at its summer field station at Spruce Creek, Pa.; a conference of county home demonstration leaders will be held July 13-15 under the direction of Marion Van Liew of the State Department of Education; and the third annual Cornell conference of school administrators and pupil personnel workers is scheduled for August 3-7.

BUFFALO OFFICERS
William T. Huber Ό8 has been elected president of the Cornell Club of Buffalo, succeeding H. Halsey Miller Ίi. Harry E. Harding '05 and Austin L. Rumsey '13 are the new vice-presidents. Herbert R. Johnston '17, secretary-treasurer for several years, was re-elected. Henry A. Russell 'z6 is the athletic director.
CORTLAND GIRLS AT TEA
Fifty girls from the high schools of Cortland and surrounding towns learned about Cornell from Marjorie S. Kane '36, retiring president of the Women's SelfGovernment Association, at a tea given by the Cornell Women's Club of Cortland March zo at the Cortland YWCA. After Miss Kane's talk, she and members of the Club answered the many questions of the guests about the University.
The committee for the party was headed by Melva M. Lattimore '17 and Mrs. Clifton A. MeWilliams (Olive Straub) Ί6. Lois C. Osborn Ί6, who is general secretary of the Cortland YWCA, is president of the Club, and Dorothy E. Foster '34 is secretary. Mrs. Robert C. Osborn (Agda T. Swenson) '2.0, a director and former* president of the Cornell Women's Club of Ithaca, accompanied Miss Kane to Cortland.
ENTERTAIN SNAVELY
The first Cornell party for Carl Snavely, newly-appointed head football coach, was a reception March 19 at the home of Dr. Raymond S. Crispell '17 in Durham, N. C. A large representation of alumni came from Durham, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh to enjoy an informal speech by the guest of honor and the singing of
Cornell songs. Dr. Crispell is associate professor of
medicine at Duke University Medical School. He writes that although there is no organized Cornell Club in the region, there are several hundred Cornellians in North Carolina, including many on the faculties of Duke University, the University of North Carolina, and North Carolina State College. They meet Informally from time to time, the last previous meeting being a dinner given last year in honor of Sao-Ke Alfred Sze Όi, Chinese Ambassador to the United States.

About
ATHLETICS
YALE STOPS POLO TEAM
The ROTC polo team lost to Yale, 3%13, in the second round of the indoor intercollegiate tournament in the Squadron A Armory in New York City, March 14. Thomas Lawrence '38 of Smithtown Branch, although closely guarded throughout, made all three Cornell goals. The other Varsity players were his brother, Captain John C. Lawrence '36, and Stephen J. Roberts '38 of Hamburg. The team was not defeated this season or last in the Riding Hall.
BASEBALL SEASON OPENS
With only a few days of outdoor practice so far, and even the baseball cage often muddy and damp from continued rains, the baseball team has had a continuous battle with the weather, being able to play but three games of six scheduled through last Saturday. The first two games of the spring recess trip, March 31 and April i, they split evenly with the University of Maryland, losing the first, 6-8, and winning the second, 7-6. They were rained out at Villanova, Pa. April z; again in Philadelphia April 3 when a game was scheduled with Drexel Institute; lost their first Eastern Intercollegiate League game to Pennsylvania April 4, 9-17; and were unable to play Columbia in New York City April ii because of rain.
Coach Paul W. Eckley '17 has a nucleus from last year's Varsity team of two pitchers, Daniel Lindheimer '36 of New York City and John M. Batten '37 of Cape May, N. J.; Rudolph A. Doering '37 of Camden, N. J. behind the bat; one infielder, Captain John J. Kreimer '36 of Cincinnati, Ohio, at second base; and two outfielders, William A. Buckhout '36 of Pleasantville, right field, and Ernest A. Downer '36 of Poughkeepsie, center field. From last year's Freshman team he has used also in the pitcher's box Jack W. Lozier of Elmira; and at shortstop, Edward C. Schraehrer of Red Hook. The remainder of the lineups so far have been, at third, Robert J. McNamara '37 of Ithaca, ineligible last year but a member of the Freshman team in 1934; Robert D. Florence '37 of Brooklyn, substitute last year, at first base; and Robert G. Meagher '37 of Elbridge and George W. Smith '37 of East Setauket from last year's squad, as substitute infielder and catcher, respectively; with Alvin T. M. Gaily '38 from last year's Freshman team behind Florence at first base.
Last Saturday's deferred game with Columbia will probably be played as a part of a double-header April 18, opening a series at Ithaca that will comprise ten

games in sixteen week-days. On Monday of next week the team meets Harvard on Hoy Field; on Wednesday, Syracuse; the following Saturday, Princeton for two games; on Wednesday, April 2.9, Colgate; then Villanova May i, Pennsylvania May z, and Rochester May 6. A game was scheduled for April 15 with Colgate at Hamilton.
LACROSSE TEAM STARTS
From this year's squad of approximately sixty candidates, Varsity and Freshmen, who have been practicing in snow, ice, and mud since February, Coach Nicholas Bawlf started a Varsity team against Hobart Saturday on Alumni Field which included only two veterans: Captain Gordon F. Stofer '36 of Olmstead Falls, Ohio, and Harold F. Nunn '36 of New York City. They lost to Hobart, 4-10, after battling evenly, z-z, until near the end of the third period.
This year's starting team had Donald L. Keeler '36 of Faust as goalie; Nunn, Griswold Wilson, Jr. '37 of Cleveland, Ohio, and Herman Van Fleet, Jr. '37 of Scarsdale on the defense; George G. Holochwost '37 of Brooklyn, Captain Stofer, and Norman P. Dounce '37 of Waverly in midfield; and Walter L. Chewning '36 of Cynwyd, Pa., Albert G. Beyerle '37 of Baltimore, Md., and George M. Cohan '37 of Chicopee Falls, Mass, in attack positions. Beyerle made z scores and Stofer z.
With Coach Bawlf Saturday were two all-American lacrosse players from his teams of '3Z and '33, Richard H. Beyer '33 and Phillip M. Winslow '33. Beyer, a Senior in Law, has been assisting Nick with the squad, and Winslow, the son of Dr. Floyd M. Winslow Ό6, is a medical student in the University of Rochester; he came to the rescue Saturday when first aid was indicated, and loaned his lacrosse stick to be broken by twohundred-pound Beyerle after the latter had broken his own.
The next of this year's six games is April Z5, with Princeton at Ithaca. Following that, a return game is tentatively set with Hobart for May z. On May 9 the team plays Penn State at State College; May 16, Colgate at Ithaca; and May Z3, Syracuse at Ithaca.
FENCING SEASON OVER
The fencing team closed its season by placing ninth among eleven teams entered in the intercollegiate matches held at the Hotel Biltmore in New York City, March Z7 and z8. Daniel F. Macbeth '37 of Auburn won the intercollegiate championship of Class B in the epee, taking eight of eleven bouts; and Edgar M. Matthews '37 of Jamaica took fourth place in Class B in the sabres.
The team had previously defeated Syracuse and Colgate, Hamilton, and Penn State, and lost to Columbia and the United States Naval Academy.

THE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS IN 1936

The picture of the Campus reproduced in this issue is a more candid and revealing description of the physical Cornell of 1936 that could be produced with many words.
But it is also a stimulus to the memories and imaginations of Cornell men and women all over the
world. They will pick out of the picture the Cornell that was when they were young; and realizing that all this has come about in the lifetime of men now living, will go on to contemplate the Cornell that is to be a hundred years from now—and a thousand!
The picture shows what was virgin woods, inhabited only by wild beasts and furtive forest-runners, when Harvard College was 150 years old. This place was a part of that section of the Western wilderness set apart as land grants to the soldiers of Washington's army. It was not cleared of its original pine and hemlock until 1810. In 1836 it was an ownerless common, where the strayed cattle of Ithacans found pasturage, and vagabonds camped in summer.
And when the Civil War was over, someone dreamed a dream, and this place became the cradle of an idea which drew here Goldwin Smith, Louis Agassiz, James Anthony Froude, Andrew D. White, James Russell Lowell, and the group of flaming young scholars who followed these through the mud of an infant Campus to the heights.
Students of the 'yos will fail to find in the picture Cascadilla Hall (it's an inch and a half to the right of Myron Taylor Hall; even the best of airplane pictures must leave out something), where gawky undergraduates and great scholars lived together in intellectual e xhaltation and physical squalor. But they can trace most of the route by which infatuated underclassmen followed the youthful Prexy White and the still more youthful Teefy Crane along the muddy trail that led from Cascadilla up to Morrill Hall, where they were given a broad grasp of a general culture that had never heard of electrons.
Those who came later will find East and West Sibley and the homes of Moses Coit Tyler, The Mogue, and Bobby Thurston, and the University farm that is now become neatly divided between the College of Agriculture and the playgrounds.
The key diagram and the accompanying text will help you to find familiar locations and to identify new places that you've heard about, or which have slipped in unannounced through the decades.
But as you trace back your undergraduate days in this picture, remember that what you see is only incidentally a collection of buildings. It is the result of a dream that you see, and a place where old men
still see visions—some of them—and young men still dream dreams. It is a place on a hilltop a little closer to the stars than most other places. At least two books that will last have been written here. Some important guesses at truth that turned out to be correct have been made here. Great scholars and great teachers have lived here, and now live here. And it's still a place where every man—freshman or professor—may own his own soul and may freely assert what he believes to be the truth, as long as his purpose is sincere and he remains reasonably polite in his language.—ROMEYN BERRY '04.

Our new aerial photograph of the Campus was made by Cecil S. Robinson '2.1 just after a late February Sunday snow storm which threw buildings, roads, and paths into sharp relief.
Key numbers below refer to those which appear on the diagram, over:
i. Rand Hall, erected 1912.; the gift of Mrs. Henry Lang, sister of Jasper R. Rand, Jr. '97, for a machine shop, pattern shop, and an electrical laboratory of the College of Engineering.
2.. Sibley College, named for Hiram Sibley, former Trustee, who gave $180,ooo toward its endowment and equipment. Now houses the School of Mechanical Engineering. The first building was opened in 1871. Hiram W. Sibley, son of the founder and also a Trustee, financed later construction, including the Dome, completed in 1902.. Harper Sibley, third in direct line, is now a Trustee of the University. Across University Avenue to the left and bordering Fall Creek gorge, not in the picture, are the Sibley shop buildings and mechanical laboratories.
3, 4, Franklin Hall, erected by the

Trustees in 1883. Formerly housed Chemistry and Physics; now the home of the School of Electrical Engineering. The top floor is occupied by studios of the College of Architecture. The small building at the left (4) is a carpenter shop.
5. The ruins of Morse Hall, destroyed by fire in 1916 and thereafter temporarily roofed over. Built for the Chemistry Department by the Trustees in 1890 and later enlarged with a gift from Andrew Carnegie. The present building houses the storerooms of the Department of Purchases and the University art gallery, which was installed there by Professor William H. Schuchardt '95 while he was a member of the Architecture Faculty.
6. Chi Psi house, built in 1909, following the fatal Chi Psi fire in 1906, in which four undergraduates and three Ithaca firemen lost their lives. The original house was built by Jennie McGraw Fiske, but she never occupied it.
7. Theta Delta Chi house at 800 University Avenue, built in 1919 from plans of Leon Stern '89. Part of this property, at the corner of McGraw Place, was once owned by Quill and Dagger. The former

Theta Delta Chi house, at 5 South Avenue (not shown), is now owned by the University and operated as a dormitory for graduate students.
8. Sigma Phi Sigma house at 103 McGraw Place, formerly occupied by Phi Kappa Psi.
9. Sigma Pi (formerly Omega Delta) house at 730 University Avenue. Built by Professor Everett W. Olmsted '91, Romance Languages, who lived there for many years.
10. Alpha Chi Rho house at 72.6 University Avenue, built in 192.9 from plans of Revίlo F. Fuller Ί6. The site of their former house on Thurston Avenue, near Triphammer Bridge, is now part of the grounds of Balch Hall, women's residential hall.
11. 14, 15. Baker Court, comprising Baker Tower (n), South Baker Hall (14), and North Baker Hall (15). These, with Founder's Hall (13) were the first of the men's residential halls to be completed, in 1916. Baker Court was erected with a gift of $350,000 from George F. Baker. In i9oz the University purchased
the plot of about fifteen acres which is

now partly occupied by the dormitory group, and in 1911 a special committee of the Board of Trustees, headed by George C. Boldt, appointed Day and Klauder to design the entire group, including 'several yet to be built. These dormitories are used as reunion headquarters for the men of the more recent classes. Across West Avenue may be seen the outcroppings of the quarry from which was taken the stone used to build Baker Court and Founder's Hall. This is the same stone used for the University's original buildings, Morrill, McGraw, and White Halls, but here it is used witli the weathered faces showing instead of the cut faces, as in the older buildings.
ii. Boldt Hall and Boldt Tower. The former was presented by The Cornellian Council from the Alumni Fund in memory of George C. Boldt, who as a Trustee and chairman of the committee on residential halls for men had interested George F. Baker in providing for the erection of the first units, and until his death in 1916 was largely responsible for the dormitory plan. Boldt Hall was first occupied in 19x3. Boldt Tower, adjoining, was the gift of Mr. Boldt's daughter, Mrs. Clover Boldt Johannson.
13. Founder's Hall, erected in 1916 by the Trustees from the Alumni Fund. With Baker Court, the first of the residential halls for men.
16. Mennen Hall, the gift of William G. Mennen Ό8 and his sister, Mrs. Elma

Mennen Williams, in memory of their parents, Gerhard Mennen and Mrs. Elma C. Mennen. It was first occupied in 1932..
17, 18. The University's War Memorial group, with its twin towers and connecting cloister and court, flanked by Lyon Hall on the left and McFaddin Hall on the right. These buildings were first occupied in 1930, and the War Memorial was dedicated May X3, 1931. At the suggestion of F. Ellis Jackson Όo, the original plan for the residential halls was modified by the architect to make this group a memorial to Cornell's war dead. A fund of $3x5,000 was oversubscribed by 6^51 Cornellians in 19x6-217, the committee being headed by Robert E. Treman '09. An impressive memorial room which occupies most of the ground floor of Army Tower (17) contains the names of the £64 Cornellians who died in service and the battle flags carried by Cornell units. The names of the war dead are also carved in the stone panels of the Memorial cloister. About forty rooms in the towers and Lyon Hall are inscribed in memory of individuals or groups, and the Memorial contains many named entries, their cost being borne by individuals, fraternity chapters, and other organizations. Army Tower (17) was built by the Society of Quill and Dagger, and they occupy club rooms on the top floors. Lyon Hall, adjoining, is a memorial to John Lyon '83, whose bequest to the University for a dormitory building was

used in its construction. At the right is Navy Tower (18), and adjoining it, McFaddin Hall, the gift of Harrison D. McFaddin '94 in memory of his parents.
19, 2.0. Psi Upsilon (left) and Sigma Phi houses on Forest Park Lane. First occupied the fall of 1933, their former homes across Central Avenue from the Old Armory having been demolished to make room for Myron Taylor Hall (2.4). To the right and above these buildings is New Road, which now makes direct connection from Stewart Avenue to Central Avenue and across Sage Green to East Avenue and the athletic fields. For the first time, by means of New Road, the automobilist is able to drive from downtown to the Campus in high gear.
ii. Stewart Avenue, soon to be widened and repaved by the city. The street cars which formerly ran here have been replaced with busses. Just above Stewart Avenue, in the lower right corner of the picture, was the old stone quarry from which came the stone for Morrill, McGraw, and White Halls. Further up this slope, during the war, stood the frame cantonments erected by the Army, some of which remained to be used as University dining halls until the opening of Willard Straight Hall.

ends here, its course to Central Avenue being interrupted by Myron Taylor Hall. 7 South Avenue, nearest Myron Taylor Hall, is now a University dormitory for graduate students. Built by Professor Charles M. Tyler, Philosophy, it was later the home of Professor Charles E. Bennett, Latin. No. 9 is now occupied by Professor Arthur P. Whitaker, History. It was built by Professor Irving P. Church '73, Civil Engineering, and later
sold to the University. 2.4. Myron Taylor Hall, given by
Myron C. Taylor '94 to house the Law School, was first occupied in 1932.. Here for many years stood the Sigma Phi and Psi Upsilon houses, and below these, at 5 South Avenue, was the residence built by Professor Edward L. Nichols '75, Physics, where he lived for many years.
2.5. Old Armory, built in 1883 from plans of Professor Charles Babcock, Architecture. The gymnasium addition, at right, was built in 1891. For many years the headquarters of the Military Department, the buildings are now used by the Department of Physical Education and the Medical Office; in the gymnasium is the crew room, boxing and wrestling rooms, and the enlarged swimming pool is between at the rear. At the right is the Kappa Alpha house, and to the right of that is Cascadilla bridge. The former street car bridge behind the Old Armory is now a foot bridge from College Avenue (Heustis Street) to the Campus. Note that Sage Avenue, which formerly came into Central Avenue at South Avenue, now stops at New Road, and the weather kiosk which stood in the angle has been removed; also that South Avenue resumes here, for one block.
2.6. Residences at 2. and 4 South Avenue, now owned by the University and occupied, respectively, by Professors Benjamin F. Kingsbury, PhD '95, Histology, and William N. Barnard '97, Engineering. The upper house, Number 2., was built by Professor Jeremiah W. Jenks '96, Political Economy; that at 4 South Avenue by Professor Simon H. Gage '77, Histology.
2.7. Home of the Telluride Association,

built in 1910. Although numbered 2.17 West Avenue, the entrance is now from South Avenue, since West Avenue ends at New Road. The row of trees shows its former course to South Avenue.
2.8. 5 and 7 Central Avenue, the only remainders of a long row of Faculty homes which formerly stood along Cen-
tral Avenue. No. 5 (at right) is the home of Dean Dexter S. Kimball; it was built in the early '8os by Professor John L. Morris, Engineering, and was also the home of Professor Ralph C. H. Catterall,
History. No. 7 is now occupied by Professor Henry W. Edgerton Ίo, Law; it was built in the early '705 by Major Junius W. MacMurray, Military Commandant, and was later the home of Professors Charles C. Shackford, Rhetoric; James E. Oliver, Mathematics; and James McMahon, Mathematics. To the right of these two buildings, just across New Road, stood the former Sage Cottage, the former home of Professor and Mrs. Albert N. Prentiss, Botany, and until its demolition in 1933 the University Club.
2.9. Willard Straight Hall, the gift of Mrs. Leonard Elmhirst in memory of her former husband, Willard Straight Όi. Opened in 192.5, the building has accommodations for alumni, a large cafeteria and dining rooms, offices for student organizations, game rooms, and lounges for both men and women. Memorial Hall occupies the upper floor of the large wing at the left, and the University Theatre, with its own entrance drive and parking space, is on the lower floor under the terrace. Torn down to make room for this building were No. 9 Central Avenue, the former residence of Professor T. Frederick Crane, for many years Dean of the University Faculty; and No. u Central Avenue, built by Professor George C. Caldwell, Chemistry.
30. University Library and Clock Tower, built in 1891; the Library building the gift of Henry W. Sage. The original University chimes, the gift of Jennie McGraw, in 1868, first hung in a wooden tower on this site. In 1872. they were moved to the tower of McGraw Hall, and the clock, the gift of John McGraw,

was first installed there about 1873. 31. Morrill Hall, built in 1866-68, the
first building on the Campus, was originally known as South University. With McGraw Hall (31) and White Hall (33), it was originally planned to face to the west, overlooking the valley, and Central Avenue ran along the east side of the buildings, its former course still marked by the row of elms there. Originally used both for class rooms and student living quarters, the building now contains the administrative and alumni offices of the University, The Cornellian Council, and the Department of Psychology. On the slope below, Commencement exercises were formerly held in pleasant weather.
32.. McGraw Hall, completed in 1872., the third building on the Campus and the gift of John McGraw. Many early students lived here, and some were given employment in its construction. It also housed the University library, and still contains the museum. Here also are the Departments of Zoology, Geology, and Geography, but the Ornithology laboratories and the Fuertes Memorial Room have been removed this year to Fernow Hall (65).
33. White Hall, the second of the present Campus buildings, was completed in 1869. First called North University, it was later named for President Andrew D. White, who contributed generously toward its construction. It houses the College of Architecture and the Department of Mathematics.
34. Lincoln Hall, built in 1888, houses the School of Civil Engineering. Approximately here stood the old wooden laboratory building in which were Physics, Chemistry, Geology, and the University photographer.
35. Goldwin Smith Hall, built in 1904-06 for the College of Arts and Sciences. The north wing (at left) was the original Dairy Building, the first building at Cornell to be erected by the State, with an appropriation of $50,000 made in 1893. Here the early classes in Agriculture were held, and carved in the stone near the north entrance is still to be seen the Babcock milk tester which

THE CORNELL CAMPUS IN 1874

From Ezra Cornell: A Character Study, by Albert W. Smith '78

Sixty years ago Sage Chapel was new, and the rest of the University was housed in Morrill, McGraw, and White Halls, Sibley College (in the distance), and the frame Laboratory Building at right. Across from Sage Chapel lived its designer, Professor Charles Babcock, Architecture, in the house now occupied by the Dean of Women. Compare this picture with that on pages 398 and 399.

was invented in this building by Stephen M. Babcock, graduate student and instructor in Chemistry from 1873-77. The University football field and baseball diamond were on what is now the main quadrangle, in front of Goldwin Smith Hall, in the '705 and '8os.
36. Stimson Hall, completed in 1902., was the gift of Dean Sage and is named for Dr. Lewis A. Stimson of the Medical College. It bouses the Ithaca division of the Medical College. Note that President's Avenue, which formerly ran from Central Avenue near the Library to East Avenue, is no more; its course marked only by a double row of elms. Tower Road, behind Stimson Hall, has been straightened and paved to make a direct road from the Clock Tower to the farthest building of the Agriculture Campus.
37. Boardman Hall, completed in 1891, is the former home of the Law School and named for its first Dean, Professor Douglas Boardman. Since 1932., when the Law School moved to Myron Taylor
Hall (2.4), it has been occupied by the Departments of History and Government.
38. Home and office of the Dean of Women, R. Louise Fitch, at 2.3 East Avenue. Originally the home of Professor Charles Babcock, Architecture, who designed Sage Chapel and many other Campus buildings. Behind it on East Avenue stood the old University Observatory.
39. Sage Chapel, built by Henry W. Sage in 1875, ^anc enlarged by the Trustees in 1898 and again in 1904. Here are buried the remains of Ezra Cornell, President White, and many other early friends and benefactors of the University, and it contains many noteworthy memorials and the first University organ, also the gift of Henry W. Sage. In its tower, in 1875, hung one of the first two arc lamps in this country, lighted by a dynamo built by Professor William A. Anthony and George S. Moler '75.
40. Sage College, the gift of Henry W. Sage, opened in 1874 as a self-contained college for women, and to house also the Department of Botany. In the cornerstone is a sealed letter addressed by Ezra Cornell "to the coming men and women," which, he said, "will relate to future generations the cause of the failure of this experiment [of co-education] if it ever does fail . . . " The Botany greenhouses, formerly at the east side of the building, have been removed.
41. Barnes Hall, built in 1888 for the Cornell University Christian Association, the gift of Alfred S. Barnes when John R. Mott '88 was president of the CUCA. Now the home of Cornell United Religious Work, and on the ground floor is the Cornell Co-Op, for many years in the basement of Morrill Hall. The coffee shop in Barnes Hall was abandoned when Willard Straight Hall was opened.
42.. Former Faculty homes, now owned by the University. To the right of South

Avenue, East Avenue is now Grove Place. Here, beginning at the corner, are the former homes of Dean Harry B. Hutchins, Law, now that of Professor Ernest Merritt '86, Physics, Emeritus; of George W. Harris, former University Librarian; and that of Professor George P. Bristol, Greek, recently occupied by John L. Mott. Across the street, at 2. Grove Place, is the home of Professor Frederick C. Prescott, English, formerly that of Professor Edward Hitchcock, Physical Culture and Hygiene; and at 3 South Avenue, the house built by Professor Francis M.

43. House at Ί.^ East Avenue, built by Professor Horatio S. White, former Dean of the Faculty and Professor of German;

now occupied by Professor Calvin D. Albert '02., Engineering.
44. The President's House, built by Andrew D. White in 1871-73 and occupied by him until his death, November 4, 1918. The wing at the south was added in 1911 for his library, and the building was remodelled in 1911 for the occupancy of President Farrand.
45. Rockefeller Hall, completed in 1906, the gift of John D. Rockefeller for the Department of Physics. It occupies the former site of the homes of Professors Waterman T. Hewett, German; James Law, Veterinary; and Lucien A. Wait, Mathematics. The residence at the right, 19 East Avenue, is the home of Professor Otto Kinkeldey, University Librarian; it was built by Professor Spencer B. Newbury, Chemistry, and was later occupied by Professor William A. Hammond, Philosophy.
46. Baker Laboratory of Chemistry, erected in 1919 with a gift of $1,500,000 from George F. Baker. On this site, along East Avenue, stood the former homes of Professors Isaac P. Roberts and Benjamin Ide Wheeler, and the house where lived President Charles Kendall Adams and President Jacob Gould Schurman. To the north, at 43 East Avenue, was the home of Professors John H. Cornstock '73 and Anna Botsford Comstock '86, with the Insectary, now removed, behind it. Here for a time also lived Professor Charles L. Durham '99, Latin. Below the hill on the corner of University Avenue, just out of the picture, was the old farm house in which, later, Sibley Dog was started. Along Reservoir Avenue, to the right of Baker Laboratory, in a house now removed, lived Professor James M. Hart, Languages and Literature.
47. The Circle, composed of Faculty houses moved from the site of Rockefeller Hall. The two houses at the right are those formerly occupied by Professors Henry H. Wing '81, Animal Husbandry, and Henry S. Jacoby, Civil Engineering. The cleared space beyond the Circle was once the University reservoir, now filled to make a parking area used largely by patrons of Bailey Hall and the Ag Cafeteria; and just beyond, at the end of Reservoir Avenue, formerly stood the old north barn, until after 1900 the most easterly of University buildings.
48. Bailey Hall, built in 1913 and named for Dr. Liberty Hyde Bailey. The largest auditorium on the Campus, it seats 2.,xoo persons, and contains an organ given to the University in 1914 by Andrew Carnegie, Frank H. Hiscock '75, Henry R. Ickelheimer '88, George E. Molleson, Ira A. Place '81, Charles S. Shepard, Frederick C. Stevens '75, and

ing James Law Hall (opened in 1896) in the foreground, and along Garden Avenue, behind, the Small Animal Building, Medical Building, and Farriery, with the Surgical Building between .
51. State Drill Hall, completed in 1917 and used until November, 1918, by the Government for an Army aviation ground school. The main floor has an unobstructed area of 1.87 acres, said to be the largest roofed area without supporting pillars in existence, used by the ROTC and for University dances, basketball games, track meets, and other athletic events. Here are the ROTC offices, a rifle range, fencing room, band room, and other accommodations for the Military Department .
52.. Bacon Practice Hall and Hoy Field. Bacon Hall, the baseball cage, completed in 1913, is the first building constructed on the tract of fifty-seven acres given by the University in 1903 for athletic fields and playgrounds. It is named for George W. Bacon '91, who from the beginning was chairman of the committee, appointed-in June, 1901, to raise funds from alumni for the grading and development of the athletic fields. Coincidentally with the beginning of construction of Bacon Hall, on September 19, 1911, fire completely destroyed the athletic clubhouse on Percy Field downtown, which thitherto had been used for all Varsity athletics. Hoy Field, the most recent construction to be completed on the alumni athletic fields, was opened in 192.2. as the Varsity baseball field, with football practice fields behind Bacon Hall and at the south end. It is named for David F. Hoy '91, University Registrar, who was an avid fan and for a quarter of a century Faculty baseball representative on the Athletic Council. Here stood formerly the forcing houses and the south barn of the University farms.
53. Women's playground along Cascadilla Creek, with tennis courts and space for field hockey, lacrosse, baseball, and other outdoor games.
54, 55. The Crescent on Kite Hill, facing Schoellkopf Field, and Schoellkopf Memorial Field House. The completion of Schoellkopf Field and the original stadium were the gift of the children and grandchildren of Jacob F. Schoellkopf, in his memory. The first football game on Schoellkopf Field was with Gettysburg, September 2.8, 1915, and the Field and Field House were dedicated October 9, 1915. Schoellkopf Memorial Hall was the gift of Willard Straight Όi in memory of Henry Schoellkopf Όz. On April i, 1915, the offices of the Athletic Association were moved into it from their former location on Tioga Street, downtown. The present Crescent was erected by the Athletic Association in 1914, when the former stands were enlarged by the addition of the semicircular structure at the top, to give a seating

capacity of 11,500 persons, sometimes augmented with temporary stands erected at the west side of the field. The photograph shows the board track, erected only for the winter season, which used to be near Bacon Hall, and the 2.2.0-yard straightaway partly cleared of snow. The Field is used for football games and track meets, and of recent years the Commencement exercises have been held here when weather permitted.
56, 68, 67, 69. Alumni Fields, graded and developed with the contributions of alumni (see 51 above) as a playground for all students, on land formerly a part of the University farm. Lower Alumni Field (56) contains two practice football fields and fields for soccer and lacrosse. Upper Alumni Field (68) has a practice track, several baseball diamonds and other facilities for intramural sports; and above is the polo field (67), with tennis courts (69) at the right, along the edge of Cascadilla ravine.
57, 58, 59. First buildings of the State College of Agriculture, opened in 1907, now largely occupied by administrative offices of the College and the State Agricultural Extension Service. Stone Hall (57), the former Agronomy Building, is named for Professor John L. Stone '74, and still houses the Agriculture library. Roberts Hall (58) is named for the first Dean, Isaac R. ,Roberts. East Roberts (59) is the former Dairy Building, of which the manufacturing wing was torn down to make room for the new Plant Science Building, next to the east.
60. Plant Science Building, erected by the State and first occupied in 1931, to house the Departments of Botany, Plant; Pathology, Plant Breeding, Floriculture and Ornamental Horticulture, Pomology, Farm Crops, and Vegetable Crops.

Agriculture quadrangle, formerly stood the Farm Management Building, built originally to house the Animal Husbandry Department. Plans still to be completed provide for a future Agriculture Library Building across the upper
end of this quadrangle. 61. Agricultural Economics Building,
first occupied in 1932., by the Departments of Agricultural Economics and Farm Management, and Rural Social Organization. Just beyond, at the edge of the ravine, stood the frame building which housed the Department of Landscape Architecture, and to the right the frame shops of the Rural Engineering Department, now removed to the Judd Falls Road (79), out beyond the Animal Husbandry Building.
6z. Caldwell Hall, built for the Department of Agronomy by the State in 1914 and named for Professor George C. Caldwell, Agricultural Chemistry,
63. Comstock Hall, so named last year for Professors John H. Comstock '74 and Anna Botsford Comstock '86, when the Entomology Department moved into it from Roberts Hall. Originally this was the home of the School of Home Economics.
64. Martha Van Rensselaer Hall, first
occupied in September, 1933, by the State College of Home Economics and the Department of Hotel Administration. It contains an auditorium, practice apartments, the nursery school, and the Home Economics cafeteria. Named for Professor Martha Van Rensselaer '09, who started the work in Home Economics at Cornell. To the left, just out of the picture is the road to Forest Home and across it, Beebe Lake.
65. Fernow Hall, built in 1914 by the State for the Department of Forestry and named for Professor Bernhard E. Fernow, first Director of the State College of Forestry at Cornell. Now houses, besides Forestry, the work in Nature Study and Ornithology, and the Louis A. Fuertes Memorial Room. The Carnegie filtration plant which formerly stood on the hill just to the west of Fernow Hall, was removed with the construction of the University's new plant in upper Fall Creek.
66. Poultry Building, erected by the State in 1911-13. Experimental poultry houses are near it, but the main poultry farm of the Department is about a mile north and east.
70. Riding Hall and Artillery Stables, on the new direct road from Ithaca to Dryden. The Riding Hall, the long building in the foreground, was built in 1935 with subscriptions from interested alumni and former polo players.
71. Cascadilla School, on Summit Avenue, between Dryden Road and Oak Avenue. Cornellians have always been associated with Cascadilla school, both as students and as teachers and directors. Founded as a boarding school in 1870 by

CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS

Professor Lucien A. Wait of the Mathematics Department, it occupied quarters in the old Cascadilla Building at the entrance to the Campus until the first of its present buildings was built, in 1890. Its later directors have included Charles V. Parsell '72., William D. Funkhouser, PhD Ί6, and Professor Alex M. Drummond, Public Speaking, who also coached the Cascadilla football team. Cascadilla is now run as a day school by Clarence M. Doyle '02..
72.. Bryant Tract and Ithaca Road. Within the memory of many alumni, this part of Ithaca was in farm lands. Now the Bryant Tract is closely built up as a residential section, where many Faculty
families live. The direct automobile route out of Ithaca to the northeast is now from State and Mitchell Streets (the upper end of Mitchell Street traverses the upper right corner of the picture) along Ithaca Road, to the new concrete Dryden Road past the Artillery stables and joining the Forest Home Road at Varna.
73. The University laundry, on Maple Avenue in East Ithaca, erected in 1930, to service the residential halls and the various dining rooms, and to care for the laundry of women students.
74. East Ithaca station of the Lehigh Valley (former E. C. & N.) Railroad. This is now the southern terminal of the line, which goes north and east to Canastota, the right of way to the south being no longer used. Beyond the station is a water tank of the Ithaca city system and the experimental plots of the Vegetable Crops Department. Still further out may be seen reforested patches, the forerunners of the University Arboretum, which eventually will extend to the east in the shape of a great horseshoe, its southerly arm coming down the valley of Cascadilla Creek to just behind the Crescent.
75. University heating plant, first put into operation early in 192.3, then said to be the most extensive steam heating plant in the world. The second unit, with its twin stack and duplicate equipment, was completed seven years later. The boilers are fed entirely by gravity, from arrival of the coal on the elevated tracks behind the buildings; and pumps return the condensed steam from various lower points on the Campus, the lowest, at the men's residential halls (12.) being more than xoo feet below the elevation of the boilers. This plant replaces the former heating plant behind the Old Armory, many in separate buildings, and that built for the College of Agriculture on the slope below the Agricultural Economics Building, now used as the College
garage. 76. Fish hatchery, rearing pools, and
Aquiculture laboratory, formerly further down Cascadilla Creek, near the Dryden Road bridge behind the Crescent.
77. 78. Animal Husbandry Building

and Stock Judging Pavilion, with Dairy Industry Building, erected in 1913, at the left. Further out may be seen the horse and cattle barns of the University farm, and beyond that, the site of the former woodlot, now cleared. Across Dryden Road, at the top of the picture, are the Pomology orchards, and at the left are greenhouses. Plant Breeding plots are in the valley behind the wooded slope at the extreme left, and in front of the trees, a new road off Tower Road to serve Fernow Hall and the Agricultural Economics Building (61).
79. Rural Engineering laboratories, moved from their former site near where the Agricultural Economics Building now stands.
80. Barns of the University farm.
Much of the foregoing was derived from the Guide to the Campus of Cornell University, compiled by Woodford Patterson '95 in March, 192.0, and published by the University. This illustrated booklet of 90 pages contains many more interesting details about the buildings of the Campus up to the time of its publication than could be includedhere. It may be obtained at fifty cents from the Secretary's Office, Morrill Hall. For information on the War Memorial our source was largely the booklet, Cornell University's War Memorial: Its Structure and Significance, also compiled by Patterson and published in 1930. This booklet also, with many illustrations and containing much more complete information than could be given here, is available from the Secretary's Office at fifty cents.
Further sources were the old Registers of the University, in which a Campus map was first included in 1891-92.; the back files of the ALUMNI NEWS; Cornell University: A History, by Waterman T. Hewett, published in 1905; and the guidebook, The Buildings, Lands, and Activities of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University, published in 1914 under the editorship of Albert R. Mann '04 and now out of print. Much valuable information was also given by various members of the Faculty and staff of the University.—ED.

In his college days at Cornell . . . his mind and heart reached beyond the Campus, across the lakes and streams, the hills and forests; and he saw the story of a hundred years of glory and romance in the' Land of the Iroquois;' and, in more mature years, this Cornellian gathered this wealth of golden history into a scenic panorama; and dedicated it as his tribute to the "Lake Country" he loved—his land—his home."
'95 ME(EE)—Ellis L. Phillips, president of the Long Island Lighting Company, sees increasing business for his Company in the current and proposed construction of new bridges and tunnels to Long Island, and in the coming World's Fair.

'04—The New York Stock Exchange announced March 12. the proposed purchase of a membership by Egbert Moxham, partner in Shields & Co., 44 Wall Street, New York City.
'05 MME; Όi AB—Development of an improved type street car has been carried on during the past five years under the auspices of a committee of presidents of twenty-four leading street railway systems, with the engineering staff which designed the new car headed by Clarence F. Hirshfeld, chief of the Detroit Edison Company research department. Mrs. Hirshfeld was Elizabeth B. Winslow Όi.
Ό6—Fitch H. Stephens of Ithaca, formerly city attorney, has been appointed to the Tompkins County Board of Supervisors to fill a vacancy left by the death of Henry O. Veit, former chairman. Stephens was a member of the Board for four years until 1931.
